NEW YORK HERALD. Se New York, Friday, October 24, 1845. THE IMPORTANT DISCOVERY AT THE WEST. THE GREAT SOUH PASS. The Weekly Herald of this week will contain tour spirited engravings of views on the Rocky Moun- tains, illustrative of the Great Expedition of Captain Fremont. That of the Wind River Mountains is particularly interesting as the South Pass, the Great Road to Oregon, and thePacific lies on their South- emedge. These splendid engravings are accom" panied by a description of each and of the peculiari- ties of the Pass. The Expected Cabinet Explosion, There seems to be a general expectation in the public mind, judging from the newspaper press, that the present Cabinet of Mr. Polk cannot long remain without an explosion and recomposition of some kind. It is very true that the organ of the President at Washington, affects to be very positive and very | | ever st! vellous the act words Temrteton anp De Mever—A ComParison.—At this moment our city rejoices in the presence of two artists, the most distinguished, in their respective departments, that the world—the new world—has ever boasted. Need we say we allude to Temple- | ton and De Meyer? who, since their arrival here, | have experienced a reception altogether unparallel- ed, and second only to their merits. Between the characteristics of these unique performers, there prevails a marked distinction ; end we speak firat of Templeton as being first in the field. Nothing has ruck us with greater surprise than the mar- combination which exists ‘in Templeton, of ‘or, orator, and vocalist. He is truly, in the of Dryden— ‘*A man so various, that he seems to be Notione, but all mankind’s epitome.” And we are led to ask, not what ‘Templeton can, but what he cannot do. Our language has not a word that can characterise his voice. hundred stops, which, from the breathing of the flute, can swell to the blast of the trumpet. Milton must have imagined a Templeton, when he so ex- quisitely wrote— “With wanton heed, and giddy cunning, * The melting voice through mazes running, Untwi The During Templeton’s last sojourn in Paris, his voice Itis an organof a ‘ing all the chains that den soul of harmony. certain that no President and Cabinet ever hed to- | and style, now fully developed, created the utmost gether in such harmony as the present. But the very violent denunciations which proceed from the organ relative to the rumors of disunion and explosion, ra- ther tend to produce a conviction contrary to that auticipated and desired.

Notwithstanding all that the Washington Union | may say to the contrary, we are prepared to see a reconstruction of the Cabinent before six months have elapsed. Will the organ positively declare that such a thing will not take place ? Tue Macyetic Terecrarn.—The establishment of magnetic telegraphs radiating from New Yorkte the East, West and South, to the extent of three or four hundred miles, so as to connect all the large cities of the Atlantic border with this metropolis, is now in a rapid state of progress. The line between this and Buffalo is under weigh, and so also is the one to Boston, so likewise that between this city and Washington, including all the intermediate points. There is also a line commenced between this city and Coney Island. All these lines are con- ducted by associations of individuals who derive their powers from the inventor, Professor Morse, now in Europe. It is suppose that the whole of them will be finished in the course of three or four months; and that the principal line between this city and Washington will be completed in time to transmit the next message of the President to this city and to enable the publishers to issue it simulta- neously with the Washington papers. When completed, these united lines of telegraphic communication will embrace a territory of nearly five hundred miles from south to north, and from east to west—including within its ramifications the Metropolis, Washington, Buffalo, Boston, with all the intermediate cities, as parts of the grand scheme of communication. Such a system of telegraphic communication of all descriptions of news,will make the great Atlantic cities suburbs of this Metropolis, | and all animated by the same spirit and the same impulses, numbering, probably, a population of near- Jy two millions of the most active, talented, intellec. tual, impulaive, and most energetic business-men on the face of theearth. It will not be forgotten that this vast and comprehensive scheme of telegra- phic communication{will be completed in the course of a few months, and be in the hands of individuals for their own advantage and purposes, without any responsibility to government or society in any par- ticular whatever. ,One of the lines of telegraph, and the shortest and most unproductive, that between this city and Coney Island, has already made pro- positions to the newspapers, offering to give them intelligence of ship news and other marine matters at the rate of $50 per week—a sum nearly double that which is now paid under the old method. This is a sample of what may be expected from the other companies and associations, provided they should be allowed to establish their vast and comprehensive schemes without being liable and responsible to any of the legislative powers of the country. In fact, we believe that the magnetic telegraph is going to produce a greater change in some the social | institutions of the country than any one now ima- | gines.

Exrepition To Cattrornia.—It will be recollect- we published from a Western paper, the jay, a statement that General James Arling- ton Bennet, of Long Island, was on his way to Nauvoo, to take under his charge the whole of the Mormon church which was about to emigrate, as was supposed, to California. Arlington Bennet has a very fine estate and splen- did country house on Long Island, near the Nar- rows, and we suppose, that being for many years in that quiet retreat, he has matured his plans for some grand expedition that will outstrip even that of Moses when he carried the Israelites out of Egypt, acrots the Red Sea,through the wilderness and into the land of Canaan. The Mormons certainly want a comprehensive, philosophical, religious, energetic, brave and talented leader. ton Bennet to their particular notice, and advise them at once to range themselves under his standard —pass over the deserts of Missouri, over the Rocky Mountains and down to California, and then encamp We recommend Arling- Sacramento river, or some other beautiful sunny place, as near the harbor of San Francisco ible. A population of twenty or thirty thou- sand men—Mormons—under the command of Ar- Bennet, would make California a part of the States in less than two years. We are in favor, therefore, of this expedition and of the ultimate annexation of California to the United States.

The Presbyterians have had their troubles—the Episco- palians have had their troubles—the Methodists | have had their troubles—and new the unoffending Baptists must go through the mill.

These boats are both eplendid, and either of them goes fast enough in all conscience to satisfy reasonable men, nor is there any necessity to crowd steam upon them, or to try their speed in order to eatisfy the public of their capabilities and velocity. It is a dangerous practice, this racing, and one that should be immediately abandoned. If persisted in, the excitement may increase until an | explosi: ion takes place, many valuable lives be de- stroyed, and a general sentiment of horror and dis, satisfaction pervade the public mind.

Whenever these two worthies have a chance, they are cutting and slash- ing at each other, as if they belonged to different parties, or different religions, or different classes of animals, David Hale finds fault with the hungry beggars going about from door to door in this city, and introducing the bad customs of Europe in the begging business.

I.—Tnino Day—Tuunspay.—Yesterday was appointed for the coming off of the great four mile match of this meeting, between Fashion and Liatunah. Tho attendance was very limited indeed, although the weather was much more favorable for sport, and milder than either of the previous days. At the hour appointed for bringing up the horses, one o'clock, we counted on the club stand and space beneath between thirty and forty individuals, on the dollar stand between sixty and seventy; in the open space in the centre about ten or a dozen vehicles of different kinds, and 100 to 120 persons; in the field stand not a single person. Theso numbers were somewhat increased in about halfan hour afterwards, but princi- pally by parties who obtained entrance by other means than payment, still we have often observed a much greater attendance at trotting matches for much less sums, and with much less pretensions. ‘bout half past one o'clock the horses for the principal race were brought on the ground. They strip well, and appeared in first rate condition; Liatunah showed evidence of considerable improvement since last spri ng, being very much like Fashion in several respects, only not qi so large; both are beautitul creatures, aud had each their admirers, but Fashion was the decided favorite at 1 odds; 100 to 30 was freely offered, 100 to 26 taken freely afterwards. J. Laird Jr., ina red cap and purple jacket, mounted Fashion; Barney, in a light blue cap and jacket, took the saddle on Liatunah. The race was for the Jockey Club Purse, $600—$100 to se- cond best horse—four mile heats. by imp. Ainder- They were brought together, and at the drum was tapped, Liatunah on the inside, but Fashion dashed in front, and took the track. about two lengths apart round the top, but rather slow; from the three quarter pole to the drawgate, Barney lessened the space between them; but Fashion came home about two-thirds of a th in front at the end of the first mile, in about 1m, On the second mile they kept thus to the turn on the straight side, where the space was rather more open. Fashion was a length in front at the close of this mile in about 3m. 54s. For the third mile, the » was rather greater between them up the back stretch, but from the drawgate to the Judge’s stand the ae had been so much decreased between them, that Fash- ion was not more than half a length in front, in about 1m. 56s. Now came the tug forthe first heat. Barney was evidently biding his time, to appearance keeping his mare in undera very tight rein. Near the half mile Fashion increased her speed considerably, and opened the space a trifle between her and Liatunah, Round the top a beautiful race took place. After passing the three quarter pole the struggle commenced in earnest, and at ie Grew gate Oey. were not more than half a len apart.

There was a consultation among her friends, when Dr. Dixon gave itas his opines that it would be highly dangerous to the animal to attempt it, as in all ReoeaD Ut the wound would open in the struggle, and there would be no tell- ing how much she might ‘bleed. Under these circum- stances she was withdrawn, to the great satisfaction of anumber of the most respectable and right-minded on the ground. , A similar accident we believe befel this animal in tho South some time since, when in training, There is no accounting for it, unless it be that the animal has such a delicate thin skin as not to bear but a very slight touch ; leaves a mark behind for some time afterwards. We ex- amined the spurs Barney wore on the occasion, and they did not appear at all capable of inflicting such a wound as the side of Litunah presented. Many of the riders on the ground wore much more formidable prickers than those used in this instance. Indeed, it wasa most un- toward event, and prevented what promised to have been one of the most interesting races that has occurred in this vicinity for some time past, although not for such 4 great sum as many ofthem. Such was the confi in Litunah’s powers, that her friends were ready and willing to take all the odds agai her throughout ; deed it was said that in her training onthe previous day she had completed the distance in 7m. 35s. } After which came off the - Jockey Club Purse, $300—$50 to secoud best horse—Two Mile Heats. 8.

There is evidence, however, of a difference of opinion amongst the critics relative tohis merits, and a controversy is breaking out in conversation, which will probably show itself also in the columns of the journals ina short time. The friends of Mr. Murdock, from the intensity of their good feeling, may carry things so far as to create a controversy rela- tive to the existence of his talent. Such a thing ought to be avoided. Mr. Murdook has the elements of a good actor. Whether he will ever be a great actor remains to be seen, after he shall have gone through the full pro- cess of study, practise, and many years of severe toil. Leopold de Meyer appears to-night. ‘TemrLeton’s Extertatnaents.—Templeton introdu ced us onWednesday evening to SirWalter Scott. Never did the “Harp of the North” ring in more astonished or delighted ears. The soul of Sir Walter Scott seemed to burn inevery bosom—so contagious is genius. Of the vocal illustrations, nothing that we could say would be too much. ‘Jock ef Hazeldean” drew forth rapturou applause. ‘Where shall the lover rest” was given ina style which thrilled every listener. But in “The Last Words of Marmion” the performer seemed to excel him" self. Here is, indeed, a piece to try a singer. Requiring, as it does, a voice of stupendous compass, the most deli- cate modulation, and the most appalling energy,—this grand scena seemed composed for Templeton alone. But if his musical declamation enraptured the audience, not less so did his powerful recitation of the glorious lines, “Breathes there a man with soul so dead 2” ‘Templeton is sublime—a musical Demosthenes. “All is lost,” which proved that “All was won,” last Friday, burst forth again in all its splendor.

The an- nouncement was received with much applause.

Corruption the most gla- ring: and favoritism the most corrupt, are openly and boldly charged against certain political leaders who hold a snug and comfortable (though uncertain) tenure in this great mart for the manufacture ot“ free and independent voters.” Well indeed would it be for the geueral gov- | erament, could some plan bo adopted whereby “good men and true”—the eminently meritorious and really deserving—should become the only depositories of pub- lic faith, and pecinienes of public favor, instead of a | horde of unprincipled and heartless fellows, whose en- | tire merit is in their demogogueism, and whose title to preferment and distinction consists in their superior | trickery and recklessness at election polls. Imrontant Annests.—It was reported in the Herald, | few weeks ago, that the dry goods store of Mesdai Martin, No. 183} Fulton street, had beer. burglariou | entered, and robbed of property amounting to upwi | of two hundred dollars in value. Tho adjoining premi- | ses, occupied by Mr. Cornell, at the corner of Clark and Fulton stre were also broken open, on the same night, and stripped of various articles, including thirty | or forty dollars incash. Although every possible etfort was made by the officers of Brosklyn ta obtain a clue to the apprehension of these depredators, they could not be found until last cvening, when, through information | given by Mr. Phillips, Chiet of the Police of Troy, who, at present, are only known by the cognomens of Britton, John Smith, and “ Sore Eyed Bill,” and who are | supposed to have been concerned in the above mention- | ed burglaries. ‘These persons have heretofore been en- | din an apparently industrious occupation, as lock. smiths, in Court street, and had never been suspected by the public authorities, as otherwise than honest, worthy and reputable. It appears, however, that on Saturday last a small, pock marked man, calling himself Richard | Roberts, was taken into custody at Mechanicsville, (about 16 miles from rey) by Constable Harris, in con- sequence of offering for sale certain silks, calic: laces, &c., at prices infinitely below their real cost, Mr. Harris (acting as a shrewd and cunning man should do) immediately posted off to his brother officer at Rensse- laer county, and the latter, havinj nan account in the Herald of the Brooklyn robbery, forthwith came hither, bringing with him the goods which he believed to have been stolen. They were immediately identified | as part of the property taken from Miss Martin’s store, and the efficient services of Bird and Felt were called | into it it requis n, forthe purpose of discovering the companions of Roberts. The result was the capture of the individuals named, and their committal to the county jail, to await an examination.

On entering, the visitor is astonished by the variety of plumage and shape of the different birds, from the aristocratic little canary up to the old democrat of a macaw, who croaks out his com- plaint of the cool breezes of the autumn. Here we see the talkative mino, from the East Indi le by side with the eat bird of our own climate ; the English thrush, and blackbird carol forth their songs in return to the chirpings of the bullfinch, goldfinch and linet, and, altogether, we realized, for the firat time in our life, the truth ofthe popular saying, “Happy a abird.” The feeding and taking care of this large family is, as may be supposed, no small task, and it is done by rule and regu- lation—in fact, a complete board of maintenance is held by Areby and saslitants every day, He has els come very fine King Charles spaniels and Scotch terriers ; and those who are curious in affairs of birds, had visit Archy without delay, as he can sccommod: both with birds and cage ties—though, of the latter, and ranging to “better” and A Sinavar Occunnence.—About noon, yesterday, a little girl about five years old, a daughter of Mr. Eamund O'Hara, residing at the corner of 8d Avenue and 42d at., was left in a room, rocking the cradle containing an in- fent, while her mother went into another room fora few Mrs. O'Hara on returning to the room, found little daughter enveloped in flames, although no fire had been made in the room during the day.
