NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Tuesday, October 4, 1845. Herald Supplement. We issue a supplement this morning to our city subscribers. Advertisements and news compel us to do so. New York, the Metropolis of the United States. We believe that New York, in point of popula- | tion, wealth, intellectual power and central action | is, if not the third, the fourth city in the world, ex- clnding China. It is certainly the first city on this continent. During the last few weeks the census of New York has been completed, and in some of the papers we have seen circulating the following statements growing out of the enumeration :— Comranative Tanutar View or TH PoruLaTioN oF THE SBSSRSESE Hs SBSBeees32e3° Sass Ssa% SBRSE Vauvation oF Pagpeary, ‘4 m. Valuation, 166.086 389 ‘neh 33,131 60. 96,372 123,766 166,086, 3 871 24,614 1825, . Porvtation or Gueat Cities Many of these statements, particularly those re- terring to the cities of the East, are probably esti- mates, and whilst the population of New York, ac- cording to the most rational supposition, is under- rated in the present enumeration, that of St. Peters- burgh and Constantinople which we placed before it in the above table, has been probably exaggerated. It is generally supposed that this city at this moment contains a population of at least four hundred thou. sand persons, between the two rivers, and running from the Bowery to Kingsbridge. There have been many errors in the present enumeration now under way, and gross negligence has been perpetrated in filling up the returns. If we take, therefore, the pro- bable population of this city with its suburbs, in. eluding Brooklyn, Williamsburgh, Staten Island, Jersey City and Hoboken, we will have an amount of nearly half a million. This population is an ac- tive, healthy, independent population, and for all ef- fective purposes, both physical and mental, is equal to the immense population of either London or Paris, and certainly far beyond that of any other city in the world. In other respects than mere population, however, the great metropolis of New York has characteris- ties to which no other city in the world can pretend. It 1s the chief city—the metropolis of a free nation— of the only republic in the world, already embracing @ population of twenty millions, and which doubles iteelt every twenty-five years. Inthis city is concen- tered a great deal of the talent, wealth, power, intel- lect, genius, imagination, wit, and we may add, al- so, the folly, roguery and villainly of the whole con- tinent, with considerable portions of similar ma- terials which come from abroad. In this migh- ty centre originate all the political movements —all the new doctrines—all the strange the ories which are circulated throughout the coun- | im the process of building up town, but asyet only | gave some few facts connected with the first sale of Bustvess or Buripine Cuvrcues.—We are very happy to observe that the business of building churches and erecting elegant structures for the worship of God, promises to be very lucrative and very fortunate. There are a number of new churches one, that of Dr. Potts, has taken the field, finished, with its pews all prepared and fixed for sale. We pews last week, but the following is the official re- cord which has been published in some of the ul. | , Griswold PA ‘George Griswold... ....+0+ 9 PF gent. Suse 0 700 48 John C.

Mr. Van Dore: we RESBISCERSREISIZERISERESSSESE This church cost, it is supposed, about $80,000; and here on the first day’s sale, the saints have rea- lized nearly one half of the first cost, while they have on hand a large number of pews yet in the market. The annual rent is besides paid tor each pew, out of which the salary of the pastor is supplied. This is the mode in which churches are erected and con- gregations assembled, and saints made, and salva- tion effected in this our day. It was very different in the times of the Apostles. Their pews were the grassy mounds in some retired spot,for the rocks by the sea shore, and to the poor the gogpe! was preached. The five loaves and two sm: would go buta short way now-a-days. hes | Tur Macyetic TeLeGrapn between this city and Philadelphia will be completed by the 10th of next month. The wires extend up to Fort Washington, then across the North River, under water—pass through New Jersey to New Hope, and from thence down the other side of the Delaware River to Phi- ladelphia. It is supposed that this commanication will be completed between Philadelphia and Balti- more by the Ist of December, but some doubts are entertained about its being finished in so short a time. The line between New York and Washing- ton will then be complete when both these lines are finished. Preparations are in progress to carry out the project so as to unite Buffalo and New York, and New York and Boston. All these lines of commu nication will probably be completed before a year is over. The effect of the establishment of magne- tic telegraphs between the great points of civiliza- tion and business cannot be calculated at this early day. Viowations or Crry Orpivances.—It will be per- ceived by a reference to the Police Intelligence of to-day, that no less than 182 complaints were last week preferred before the Chief of Police for viola- tions of city ordinances. The new Star Police are gradually correcting many of the abuses which have been so long permitted to exist. After the ranks try, and which agitate the political, religious, literary, philosophical, or theatrical world. In fact, 't may be said that no man, be his profession what it may, throughout the country, can be complete in all points, or have finished his education, unless he has passed one, two, or three years in the city of New York, there studying the various phases of hu- man nature, as it developes itself, according to its natural impulses, under a free government and the mighty impetus of a great city. New York may, In- deed, be regarded as the great centre of intellectua! vitality to the whole nation. And, singularly enough, the controlling influence here is not so much the government as the newspaper press. That is the great conservative element. The population and wealth, and business activity of New York, are all increasing with astonishing rapidity. In every direction the city is swelling and extending. Buildings are going up in every quar- ter of the suburbs. Broadway is more crowded than the Palais Royal, or the Boulevards, and presents as animated, crowded, and bustling appearance, as any of the most thronged thoroughfares of London. The citizen who lives down town, gazes with astonishment at the increase of the city when he sails upeither of our noble rivers, or rides through the region beyond Union Square. At its present rate of progress, New York must, in less than twenty years, be second only to London. The press of New York is one of the most charac- teristic features. Here only exists the independent press, ora press that can be independent for the whole country. Certain journals are perfectly be- yond the reach of individuals, or politicians, or powers, or governments, or any special interest. In other cities of the Union, the banks, or cliques, rule the press; but here,from the vast extent of patronage, and the competition, the press is entirely beyond the reach of any power of corruption. Erm Rarroap anp Ramroap Specunation.— We understand that the Erie Railroad Company have filled up their subscription lists, having recei- ved three millions of subscriptions, and now an- nounce their intention of proceeding with accelera- ted force to complete the railroad to Lake Erie. We hope and trust that this will be the case. In- deed it appears to us that we are only in the com- mencement of railroad speculations, and the period when fortunes will be made out of railroad stocks rising in the hands of the holders. In France and England, and on the Continent, railroad speculation seems to be rapidly reaching its highest point. Fore tunes appear to be made with extreme rapidity by the rise of shares, and of course there are many losers as well as gainers. In this country we have not yet began to move in that matter, and the only thing that checks speculation is the uncertainty of our foreign relations with England and Mexico. The stringency of the money market also operates in the same way. In regard to the latter Point, ac- cording to the best intelligence, the banks through- out the country appear to be increasing their cireu- lation and credits to a most extraordinary extent ; and it is now supposed ‘that the currency 1s nearly as much inflated as it was in 1835-86, only the popula- ‘ion and business of the country are greater and require a larger amount of currency. But we have no doubt that in a very short time, with the increase of wealth, travel, population, trade, and if we should have peaceful foreign relations, another period of speculation will be ushered in i - ridin as great as that in the Evrornan ConResronpince.We give in ano- ther column a very interesting letter from our Paris correspondent. The writer is 4 gentleman as inti- mately acquainted with European polities and so- ciety as with American men and manners, and re- siding in Paris, the great centre of European intel. ligence, he will write letters of the utmost interest and value to our readers on both sides of the Atlan- ie. Never News rrom Evrorg.—The monster steam- er Great Britain is now in her tenth day, and ma: iv 1e expected to arrive on Sunday, ; shall have been thoroughly cleared of all “ black sheep” which have unavoidably crept in, and the faithful officers shall have had a little more experi- ence in the business of catching thieves, there is reason to believe that far less crime will be perpe- trated in the efty than has been the case for several years past. Packer Suir Asnorg.—The Pilot Boat Charlotte Ann, reports the packet ship Patrick Henry ashore at 8 o’clock, yesterday afternoon, on the S.W. Spit Sandy Hook. The weather being very heavy, they were unable to ascertain precisely her situa- tion, but supposed her to be in an easy position, and would proceed to sea at high water. She left her dock at 120’clock, and had on board a merchant pilot at the time she struck. Morratity 1x New Yorx.—There were one hundred and seventy-eight deaths in this city last week. This indicates a healthy city. Theatricais. Panx Tuxatre—Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean re-ap- Peared at the Park last night, it being the first of another hort engagement here. Warm and hearty ashas been | table intent of victimising “Vanquish,” and again en’ their reception on these shores, on all occasions, in this and other cities, on which they have met the Public pro- fessionally, not one of them ‘exceeded that of last night for a hearty and sincere Greeting. In “Much Ado About Nothing,” Mrs. Kean took the Part of Beatrice, Mr. Kean that of Benedick. It is quite astonishing to see the versatility displayed by both of these accomplished actors, who, from the deepest tragedy, the profoundest fnalysis of the human mind and passions, can slide with acility into the playful, sparkling, and humorous phases of character. This is evidence that it is genius that g not mannerism that directs them to excellence, and that seizes so deeply on the minds of observers, as was visi, ble last night. Mr. Bland played the “Prince”—Mr. Dyott appeared as Claudio—Mr, Barry as Leonato, and Fisher as Antonia—and Hero was cleverly re; resented b; . Abbott. The scenery, by Mr. Hillyent was vies ae, tiful; and, altogether, this admirable comedy was de- lightfully performed. It were quite uncalled for to speak of the throng in the house, for that is a thing of course, when the Keans appear; they were called out after the first piece, and “much ado” made about them in the heartiest plaudits. After a dance by the Misses Vallee, the whole force of the corps dramatique ‘appeared in the extravaganza of ‘Fortuni and gaity inthe house until the cutee fal oa ci actors seemed to do their best, and that very’ successful. this will be powerful atroction we" 1 “Hamlet”— Bowery Turatne.—At this establishment the “ dog star” still “ rages.” Last evening there was a perfect Tush to witness the beautiful performances of Messrs, Coney and Blanchard, and their wonderful dogs. The drama in which they appeared was called the “ Idiot of the Shannon.” Mr. Coney’s pantomimic acting is very beautiful, and the exploits of the dog can hardly be des- cribed. Previous to the drama the laughable farce of Sprigs of Laurel was played, and the evening closed with the beautiful drama of Mazeppa, in which Mr. Mil. ner played the hero, and lashed on his Indian mare Poe: py.—The Park was crowded last night—the Tabernacle was crowded—the Bowery was crowded, but in no other place of amusement could you have seen a more crowd- ed and elegant audience than that which filles Niblo’s Deautiful saloon.

Harry is met at the steam boat landing—very prettily painted by Bengough—by Nathan, w! st baited the attempts of two gentle men of t voll mob,““Tamper,”(Gallagher,)and “Drift . i side,) to “come the drop game over him.’; A recognition takes place, and it appears that Harry has not come to New York solely for the purpese of “ het ing something greatly to his advantage,” as advertised by Mr. Bunker.

Vanquish, misled by the representations of a waiting maid, “Nelly,” (Watts) imagines that his wife has net at all regretted his absence from home, and not mourned his neglect, and suspects that she does not love him, foolishly resolves to absent himself still more—sets off tothe races with old “‘Lionheart”—loses a great deal of money—eventually falls into a trap laid for him by the swindlers “Tamper” and “Driftwood,”and embarks inthe great “Kimearah Land Co.” Meanwhile, Capt4Fitzhugh arranges a pretended elopement with his sister “Made. line,” for the purpose of bringing “Vanquish” to a sense of his duty, and carries her off in his absence, leaving the servants to imagine that she has voluntarily forsaken het husband foran old lover. “Vanquish” comes home, and is overwhelmed with remorse and indignation.

It went off, however, ina highly respectable manner, and was received with marked kindness on the part of the audience. Placide made the most of his part. Walcott played, as he al- ways does, with good ‘taste and judgment. Crisp, so, so, dressing in shocking bad taste. Tom Placide was very comical—Sefton capital. Mrs. Mowatt sustained her part with characteristic gracefulness and spirit. Mra., Walcott had very little to do, but looked very charming, and her toilette was perfection itself. Miss Mathews’ performance was lady-like, and marked by great vivacity and good taste. There were loud calls for the author on the fall of the curtain, in which Mr. Herbert, Park Benjamin,and a fow other distinguished literary personages joined with a de- gree ofenthusiasm that attracted general observation, but Mr. Sargoant did not respond to the call. Mr. Crisp, however, came before the curtain and muttered a few sentences, which were altogether unintelligible. I was understood that he announced the comedy for repetition to-night, when we have no doubt that the saloon will be as crowded as it was last night. That the first representation of this new comedy attracted such a crowded and respectable house, is not only highly complimentary to the author, but shows the readiness with which lic is disposed to patronize nati Oxe Buut’s Concert.—The great maestro gave his second concert last evening, at the Tabernacle.

Immediately at the head of the walk he will see a most beautiful family wagon, of the most admirable workmanship, and a little below that, there stands the Phenix Hese Cart, the splendid painting on which would lead one to imagine that it wan intended for any other use save that of battling with the flames ; it appears more fit to ornament a drawing room. The credit of the workmanship belongs to Mr. Moriarty. On the left hand side, we observed some improved Refri- erators, from the manufactory of Mr John . Smith, of No. hurch —street.— These, from their appearance, one would likewise suppose to be parlor ornaments, so highly finished are they, and we doubt not they would afford to those using, that ‘cold comfort” which in these ar- ticles are so much required ; below these again we come to a couple of baths, shower and vapor ; these are the patent of Bates, and from the ease and com- fort with which Gans can be used, are a desideratum in their line, On the right hand side are displayed a number of cooking, parlor, and in fact all kinds of stoves ; the peculiarities of these articles we had not time to examine yesterday, but shall give an account of them to-morrow ; they are there of every pattern, shape and plan that has ever been invented and well worthy the attention of all who are interested in these articles—and who is not? more particularly at this season of the year. Passing further down the promenade to the right, after passing a beautiful club boat, we observe an entrance to a separate apartment, and in this are deposited the bones of the at Hydrargos Sillimani:; yes, there they are. ead, tail, ribs and all, the last of the sea serpents, alone in his glory, and who, we should like to know, has§a better right to a place in the great Fair than the serpent? Is he not American, and the greatest of his kind? After having peeped in and surveyed his wonderful bones, let us walk onwards and survey the beautiful display of fruit and flowers that grace these walks ; look at these long counters each covered with an assortment of dahlias, from our most splendid nurseries ; see with what infinite“taste they have been spread out, the different shades of color in each flower; harmoniously blending with those of the bud next to it; but when we say that specimens of the art of the following gardeners are here to be seen, the public may jaagne how perfect the show must be Meare. id, Htaff; Hogg & Sons, Bug chanan, Niblo, Dunlap and Carman, have each an assortment on the ground. Now come we to the fruits, which on either side are displayed in all their beauty, pears, pene, plums, apples, grapes, all combine to render very necessary the poetical warn- ing to withstand temptation which is hung up over them. The lower part of the walk is decorated with mammoth egg plants and pumpkins, compared with which Cinderella's famous one which served her fora coach and six, was but a millet seed. Re- turning up again, we see two splendidly finished flour barrels, marked in golden letters L. A. Spald- ing, Lockport, and these contain some of our best whee flour, so pure and white that it poe easily be mistaken for newly fallen ‘snow-drift. We have heard some rumors of these being destined for transmission as a present to the Queen of England. Should they go, they will doubtless prove a strong argument for the reduction of the corn laws in Eng- land. Side by side with the flower we see a speci- men of another of our staple productions, viz—the cotton plant, a healthy bush of which is here pre- sented to us. Let us new pass into the space that lays between the promenade and the grand saloon ; here we see afine set of bells, four in number, whose beautiful mellow tones remind us that they have literally speaking, a silver sound; they are of different sizes, the largest wei; Bt pounds, and trom the foundry of Mr. Meneely. Ranged on the coun- ters at the sides, we have specimens of earthen ware from the different works in New York, some | from the Salamander Works of Cannon street are water jug from another set of works is a magnificent piece of workmanship. The fire-bricks, stove-linings, and other articles, are all deserving of the highest commendation, and the vases, both burnt’and un- burnt, are of the most classic designs, Before entering the grand saloon, let us now step -ound to the fountain, where we have some most ingenious inventions displayed. One that we saw 1n operation yesterday struck us as being the embodiment of an idea which is destined to work great improvements in canal matters; 1t was a ma- chine for propelling canal boats by the power of wa- ter. In the working model it succeeds admirably [tis intended to work by extending a small trough of water along the side of the canal, at the elevation of several teet from it. To the side of the boat is at- tached an upright tube, the lowerend of which is curved so as to discharge water in a horizontal di- rection opposite to that in which the boat is to be propelled, the reaction of the water ee from this tube drives the boat forward. _At the height of several feet the tube is curved over in a direction at right angles with the boat, terminating some little distance below the highest part of the curve, form- asiphon. When a canal has once been prepared for this invention, as it may be at a small cost, it will obviate the necessity for horse or steam power. It is the invention of Mr. Echols, of Georgia. Let us now pass into the grand saloon. The scene here is beautiful, as this apartment is more es- pecially devoted to the exhibition of the more deli- cate articles of American manufactures. On the lefthand entrance, the first table is that of Mr. Roussell of Philadelphia, who exhibits an unrivalled assortment of soaps of all kinds ; his table is deco- rated with busts of Washington and Franklin made of solid ysoap—yes, reader, soap—and nothing else, but such soap, so solid and white, that every one mistakes it for the real Canova marble. He has also seven large cakesot the same article weighing in all 1400 pounds. Passing down the left hand side towards the clerk’s desk, we see a variety of arti- cles which we shall notice more particularly here- after ; they include specimens of needle work and millinery, habits, clothing, Neapolitan bonnets, some most beautitul little statuettes in marble from the studio of Baronto, in Canal street, cabinets, work-boxes, tea-caddies, varied work in silk, &. The whole of the articles contained in this room require amore special description than we can give them from our survey, yesterday, and we shall de- vote special attention to them to-day. The room to the right of the Grand Saloon contains also so many beautiful articles that we must also pass that over till to-day’s examination can give us a better op- portunity of speaking of it. i ‘ Passing up into the room occupied by the City Guard as an armory, and which has been tempora- rily diverted from its legitimate use, we are struck with the sterling exhibitions of the advance of Ame- rican manufactures and enterprise ; here we see spread in profusion the most “durable and highly finished articles of cloths, casimeres and woollen goods that we have ever seen issued from any fo- reign manufactory ; ginghams, book-muslins, mos- quito netting, cottonades, white muslins trom dif terent mills, among them we may name Messrs. Wethered, Brothers, of Franklin Mills, near Balti- more ; 8. Woodward, Milbury, Mass.; Gilbert & Stevens, Ware, Mass.; Welcome Farnum, Water- ford, Mase.; The Leeds Manufaeturin, Company ; Pao Kellogg, Skeneatles, N. Y.; and many others. The steam engine was not in operation during the time of our visit yesterday, and we, therefore, de- fer amore particular description of the many very ingenious and remarkable inventions displayed in the room to which it is attached, and which require its Promethean touch to display their beauties The evening’s exhibition closed with a splendid display aL ct The Fair will be opened this morning at 9 o’clock. iN Many persons ask what is the price of a season ticket forthe Fair ?

Franxiin Hatt.—The attendance this morning was more limited than on any preceding day, and the interest which the public manifested in the pro- ceedings of this body is evidently slackening. Mr. Juriten Hxssex, who styles himself Professor (but of what science he does not say) sent his plan for the regeneration of man to the Convention, in the form of letter. His plan is, in the first place to have a generab spiritual and political revolution over the world,in which all lords, kings, princes and nobles, who claim the world nd its inhabitants as their own, sh: these principles to be established. "Nomen to pice eng ae of 2, All men to be industrious. 3.

Mr. Owes then put it to the convention to say how he should put the proposition, and the convention decided his propositions. Mr. Robertson’s proposition to form a society was then submitted to the convention and re- jected ; and his plan for reform was also put and met the tly much mortified at the rejeo- plans, pet got up and said, he proterted against the deeision of the convention,as it had previ- ous votes Seceree. plans which were based on the same principles as his was. After some discussion concerning the right of Mr. Peesves to the floor, that gentleman took the stand. He said he wanted an opportuaity to discuss Mr. O ‘s plans. He then read from the New York Herald a para- graph, thet the Owenite Institute in John street, Totten- ham Court Road, London, had been sold out, and the in- stitution defunct ; and speaking, at Mr. Owen, he said that that gentleman has been for sixty years past endea- voring to reduce his theories for the reformaiion of man to practice, and was as near the object at first as he is ph ere holding forth prospects which never could be realized, and by the fascinating tones of his voice, al- lured mechanics and others from their him discuss theories which never can ly car- as human nature is ao: as at is. ried out, as Jong, But he has no doubt that Mr. Owen is a believer himself in his theories, for he never saw a man who hada greater share of the milk of human kindness in his heart—but the end of all his pees and of those that were laid before this convention, is the distribution of Property equally, and that is impracticable. Besides, Mr. Owen has not one word about sl: j nota word about the shrieks and cries lave, on i sepa- rated from children ; not a word about the agony the lash oo A penne rose to a. point of order, He said— The institutions of the South are not to be villified (de- cided hissing ae ie srpases) in this manner.

Mr. Pexsies continued—It is peated that there are in the United States 2,700,000 slaves. Would it not be well for those philantrophists to propose a system of taxation in the North to purchase those slaves, that is practicable and certain to be attended with good. Besides, it would be an advantage to the North, those slaves who are now fed and clothed at a cost of $25a year, would, when free, expend $100 year at least in their support; and the ad- ditional materials: for their support would be drawn from the North ; instead of being clothed in negro cloth, they would wear broad cloth,which would add to the revenue of the United States.

Well, as you interrupt me so much, | will come to the point, premising that if the Convention adopt first proposition they will, per se, reject all plane laid before it, Mr. Peebles first Proposition was then put. Resolved, That the general principles of humanity and oon rights for our political basis, as entertained by ©.Owen and other members ef this Convention, are just so far as they do not interfere with the individual right of every man to the enjoyment of what he legally acquires by his industry and intelligence, which must ever rank separate from idleness and ignorauce— Carried. 2.

He then stated on statistical authority, that for 30 years crime in England increased 5 per cent in proportion to the popu. lation; in Ireland 6 per cent, and in Scotland, hitherto considered the most moral country in the world, 40 per cent. That 130 millions of pounds sterling were expen- ded in the “French wars in the destruction of life and roperty, all he wanted was 3,000,000 of dollars, to lorm a model of society which would ensure paises to all mankind. In 9 on the subject of slavery, he said h r was in the Seuthern part of the United item in the West In- AFTERNOON Sxssi0n. On the assembling of the Convention in the afternoon, Mr. Owen said that he had been mistaken in stating on Saturday that Mr. Rosevelt .would be out of town on leman had a plan to offer, and he (Mr. 0) would willingly give way to him. je had looked 1 found it the only one of all which had com plied om the object—to provide a definite and practical remedy. Mr. Roewvact then began with an outline of his plan. In the course of his remarks he said that an entire'change of the currency was essential tothe welfare of society—a oueas founded upon the use of labor notes. His plan would provide for self-defence, and medicine among the rest. He did not agree with Mr. O. in repudiating war; he was for war when necessary, and baal es the radicals of England wrong in not overthrowing ‘ir oppressors at once, and that O’Conne | was Gig Need Irish people much injury in not teaching them to strike. He didnot agree with Mr. O, not because he was called no Chris~ tian, for believed that aithough he prufessed no he- lief in that, he cted up to its letter spirit.

The failure arose from the in discretion of some parties connected with the society, and not from the system itse! Mr. Havs went on in th itement of his experience, n relation to this system, and gave several facts, ax they to be, in the most of which he was corrected ; he unfortunate in his facts, laughed at.
