Subscribers in the country receiving their papers in yellow envelopes, will understand that their term of subscription has nearly expired. The Ocean Steamers. The Massachusetts, from Liverpool, whence she was to sail on the 16th ult., is now due at this port. The Caledonia, with advices to the 19th, is in her fifteenth day, and has probably arrived at Boston. We may receive her news this afternoon. The Acadia leaves Liverpool to-morrow, for Bos- ton. ‘The Hibernia sailed from Boston on Saturday, for Halifax and Liverpool, with sixty passengers, in- cluding a bearer of despatches to our Ministers in London and Paris. The Great Western is to leave this port next Thursday, for Liverpool. Critical Position of Mr. Polk’s Administra- tion. Mr. Polk has now occupied the White House for nearly eight months. He has made, in the custom- ary manner, a public declaration of his views and opinions on all the chief questions connected with the domestic ana foreign policy of the eountry. He has organized a Cabinet which still exists in ap- pearance, at least, in its original cohesion. He has established an organ, after the necessary work of demolition had been perpetrated on that of a prece- ding dynasty. Thus far, the administration has with tolerable calmness and quiet ; but the +storms and gales of tempestuous winter are now nigh athand. ‘The trying and terrible hour of dif- ficulty and danger has almost come. The first few months of any administration are not, in ordinary circumstances, marked by any great scenes of embarrassment or peril. Everything wears an agreeable aspect. Difficulties, to be sure, there are in the matter of constructing the Cabinet —in making removals and appointments, and in a variety of other affairs, which necessarily engage the action of the new President and his chosen and confidential advisers. But there is no open war.— The murmurs of discontent are hushed. The op- posite party looks quietly on, and concoets its scheme of future operctions. All the opposing ele- ments patiently await the opening of Congress. — Then fairly begins the scene of fierce and furious conflict. Washiagton once more resounds with the dia and shock of contending factions. The party presses again teem with scurrility, slander, abuse, and every species of assault. The ad- ministration finds itself in a sea of troubles. That ocean which had been go recently smooth and un- raffled as a summer lake, and on which the admin. istration had been floating so peacefully, is now swept by the hurricane. Eddying whirlpools, and shoals hidden even from the most experienced eye, and terrible breakers, and a thousand perils and dangers, threaten the voyager. It is like the gallant packef ship, sailing in stately majesty down the beautiful bay of New York, her canvass swell- ing gently to the favoring breeze—and the same ship tossed on the furious billows of the Adantic, struggling and laboring like some great spirit in adversity, till at last, mayhap, as if in utter despair, she yields, and in one moment disappears for ever in the dark abyss of the unfathomable sea. Mr. Poik’s administration, let it be recolle has to encounter not merely the hostility of + party to which it is politically opposed. It 1 meet even from those of its own household most furious and unrelenting assaults. Let briefly review the past, and we will then see thi important fact clearly established. Mr. Polk was elected by the accidental combination in his favor ofall the various factions of the democratic party. He was not the popular candidate of the party—se- lected on account of personal qualities, or distin- guished public services. On the contrary, the lueky circumstance for him was the absence of some of those very elements which are deemed essential to the success of a Presidential candidate. He was the best man because he was the least known. The various powerful and leading cligues of the demo- cracy opposed to Mr. Van Buren, were resolute and immovable in their hostility. It was easily discovered that unless some plan were de- vised, by which concerted action could be ef- fected, the defeat of the party by the whigs was certain. Mr. Clay was the candidate of the whige— a man who possessed ina remarkable degree the personal elements of success, in an appeal to the suf- frages of his fellow-citizens throughout the whole country. The’ whigs were united to a man. In these circumstances, even faction itself, in the Balti- more Convention, was forced into a course of mod- eration and common sense. The delegates saw that the only plan which cool reason commended, was the cessation of hostilities, and union on some man who might be found “available”—that is, not known as a party leader. It was Mr. Polk’s fortune to be proposed as that man. The proposition was accepted favorably. His nomination was made and agreed to, and by the powerful and united efforts of the democracy he was made President of the United States. But the cessation of hostilities amongst the fac- tions in the Baltimore Convention, was only a tem- porary cessation. That was perfectly understood at | the time. Union was agreed to only for a tempora- ry object—the defeat of the whigs and the triumph of the democratic party. Now faction has resumed us sway. The various cliques are again actively prosecuting their individual views and purposes — And as each sees in the administration the greatest barrier in the way of the accomplishment of its de- signs of ambition and aggrandizement, so against it | will be directed the hostility of all. Mr. Polk now stands in much the same attitude that Mr. Van Buren did before the Baltimore Convention. In the South, the friends of Mr. Calhoun are uniting in greater strength than ever. The Cass men are also in the field. The Tyler men are stirring. The disap- pointed of all classes and complexions are actively | engaged in organizing a systematic course of oppo- sition to the administration. Then it 1s to be borne in mind that several questions of the most momen- fous importance will occupy the attention of Con- gress,and may jeopardize in a degree not now easily | estimated, the success of the administration.— | Never, indeed, since the organization of the g0- vernment, has any administration been called on to encounter 4 more formidable opposition than | that which will assail the administration of Mr. | Polk. The first assault on the administration will be on the question of the appointment of public printer. | A powerful coalition has been formed for the pur- pose of defeating Mr. Ritchie, the candidate of the President This will be a sort of test of the rela. tive strength possessed by the administration and | its entagoniste. Blair & Rives are in the field, and | possess influences which will have a most impor- tant bearing upon the votes of Congress. We are prepared to see in this matter a terrible conflict. Altogether the prospects of the administration are | by no means encouraging. Clouds and darkness | obscure the horizon. What with dissension in the | cabinet—a powerful whig opposition—unfriendly, | fierce and bitter factions in the ranks of that very | party which elected him, Mr. Polk most assuredly | does not sleep On roses, j We begin to be very much | afraid that his career will turn out almost ‘a8 inglo- | riously as that of poor John Tyler. | gone o: Tue Exections.—The elections in this state ani New Jersey will take place to-morrow. ‘The three | days’ poll in the latter State is now concentrated into one day.

He is a | (omoorat, and takes the place of E. H. Foster, | hig mey | Tue Arrroacnine E:rcrioy.—To-morrow the | general State election is to be held. It has assumed a very interesting form, and in several respects, is one of the most important that we have had for some years past, A variety 0° parties are im the field. We have the democrats—the whige—the natives—the anti renters,or national reformers—the abolitionists~and a number of stump candidates who go it on their own hook. for Assembly, the whigs have a very respectable ticket ; but probably many of the candi- dates would not have consented to run, had they imagined that they stood the best chance of being elected. Yet, the whigs will make a strong rally, The sober minded, intelligent, sound old whigs will come out probably in greater force than usual. A very general and determined feeling of opposi- tion to the Fourierism, abolitionism, anti-rentism, and other abominations of the ultra philoso- phers and fanatics of the day, has been awa- kened amongst these old whigs. They have seen the practical evil of the introduction of such disturbing and disorganizing elements into the politics of the party. Of this, the meeting in Canal street afforded an amusing and ludicrous illustration, The democrats have had even more than their usual share of noise, clamour, fun, fight- ing and discord on this occasion. Several very amusing meetings have been held, including those in the fifth ward and at Tammany Hall. The pro- bability is that the locofoco ticket will be elected, though it is generally supposed that the name of Mr. Tilden, who is obnoxious on the ground of abolition- ism and anti-annexation views, will be sofeffectual- ly seratched as to defeat his return. It is also ru- mored that a compromise between the whigs and “natives” may be made, so as to settle on two or more candidates for Assembly, who in that case might have a chance to run in. The “natives” are, however, in the last agony. Their nomination of candidates 1s quite a farce. As for the abolitionists and “national reformers,” they will not poll more than a few hundred votes. The pertinacity with which the “reformers” maintain their organization is, however, worthy of notice. They may gradually attain such a degree of importance as to be esteem- ed worthy of absorption by the great locofoco party —that anaconda In whose bowels all these eccen- tric movements generally find their terminus. The question of a State Convention to reform the Constitution will be passed upon by the ‘people in | this election. It will be carried we have no doubt. The locofoco party, with a very few exceptions, 13 universally in favor of this measure, anda large por. tion of the whigs will also vote for it; whilst all the fanatics and philosophers will also do so, asa mat- ter of course. That Convention will be one of the most curious assemblages ever congregated in this or any other country. All sorts of isms will be rep- resented there, and if the Constitution survive the process ol “‘reformation,” it will be by a miracle. However, we have all that yet in anticipation. The preliminary movements in this election have been fruitful in rather interesting developments. It , has been shown in a very conclusive manner, that the popular impulses are overwhelmingly in favor of the extension of the free institutions of this republic over the whole continent. This great predominant | sentiment has been potent enough to set aside all | the old influences of party association and party feeling. Even amongst the whigs, the feeling in fa- | vor of the annexation of Texas has been strongly | developed, as was seen at the famous meeting in | nal street. Another development has been that | n reference to the new light in which the masges of the people begin to regard the conduct and ser- vices of the mere party editors. Intelligent men | look with evident distrust upon the party journals, | professing even their own creed, and such ai | Brooks, with undisguised disgust and displeasure. | They know full well that one of the chief causes | of the defeat of Mr. Clay, in the last Presidential election, was the folly, ignorance, selfishness and | venality of the party newspaper editors. And, in fact, the only value of newspaper agency to any | party is when it 1s employed in their service, just as | it is om the service of men of business, or | any classes who use it as a medium of communica- | ting with the public. The independent press is the only safe and efficient auxiliary of any party, be- | cause it must of necessity confine itself to a mere | communication of the views, principles and move- | ments of the party. And this truth spreads daily. | Thus the party press is going fast to ruin, whilst the | independent press is every day advancing with pros- | perity and triumph to that elevated position of pow- | erand usefulness which it is destined to attain, as | the great instrument of civilization, good govern- | ment, morality and virtue. Tue Recisrer.—There will be very keen compe | tition for this office. The great struggle will be be | tween Morris Franklin, the whig candidate, and Osgood, the regular candidate of the democrats.— | Mr. Franklin is a very popular man with ms party, | and Mr. Osgood is equally so with the locofocos.— One of the chief grounds on which Mr. Franklin | relies for success, is his determination to support | the application of the License Bill to this city. It isalleged, however, that his services in preventing that extension of the bill during its passage through the State Legislature, was deemed so important as to be well rewarded. This inconsistency is, of course, eagerly seized upon by his opponents. Mr. Osgood is in favor of temperance, and we don’t see | how he could well be otherwise. But he does not advocate legislative interference in restraining or regulating the appetite. The truth is, al] these at- tempts to create political influence out of the advo- cacy of the temperance c , oF any other cause of morality, are unmitigated humbug. God knows, religion and morality are two elements that have little to do with politics. . Private Dissecting Rooms.—We have heard a good deal of complaint about some private dissect- ing rooms in Broadway, which are, it is said, con- ducted without due regard to the feelings and rights of those living in the neighborhood. It 1s gratifying to learn that the science of anatomy—the only true foundation of medical and surgical skilli—is growing in this metropolis, but teachers and professors, both public and private, rooms with decency. We trust that this point will be attended to, and that the grounds of the com- | plaints which have been suggested will be promptly | removed. Rerorm oy rae Miuitia Laws.—Why do not | the people insist upon all the candidates for Assem- | bly pledging themselves to seek a reform of the mi- litia laws? The system 1s abominably unjust and oppressive, and ought to be abolished. Down with it at once. Pou.y Boprvg.—The trial of this woman has been set down for this day, before Judge Edmonds, in the Circuit Court.

The state of the streets is truly dis- graceful. We would, also, earnestly recommend the voters to be careful, lest they should be run over by the cabs and omnibusses on their way to the poll- ing booths, particularly during the racing between these vehicles, that so frequently ocours during the day—the authorities seeming determined to disre- gard every admonition which they have so frequent- ly received on this subject. The abuses in the whole system are truly disgraceful in this populous city. ‘The drivers emboldened by the neglect of the au- thorities on this subject, now amuse themselves with pulling up their vehicles on the very cross- ways, so as to prevent often for two or three, nay, five minutes, the foot-passengers from passing through. ‘This, in connexion with the variious other abuses which mark the entire system, has been felt as a gross nuisance of late particularly, and calls for prompt and energetic ac- tion on the part of the corporation. We apprehend it tobe the duty of the nominal police force, who are sard to attend Broadway, to put an immediate check to this dangerous and annoying practice. Should these drivers have occasion to drop, or pick up passengers on the cross-walks, the law does not authorise them to do so to the prejudice of the pe- destrians who, at all times, have occasion to pass and repass these convenient footways. It is quite ‘an easy matter to regulate this abuse, and the police ought to see to it forthwith. The system of throwing filth and garbage in the streets, is also another dan- gerous nuisance, and could be remedied by an ef- ficient corporation who sincerely felt an interest in the welfare of the city. Indeed, there is such a wide field for “‘reform”—that sort of reform which the present Corporation promised us on going into pow- er—that we could fill a heavy catalogue in pointing them out ; but the mania of partizanship—the politi- eal chicanery that characterises the various move- ments of those who creep into power upon slippery promises, have so completely neutralized all efforts at reform, that the people have turned with nausea from it, and almost despair of effecting it. The caucus system also operates in its way against the practical reforms which are so much needed; and clqueism, in all its varied phases, runs through the entire machinery of the city government—some of the veriest rowdies of the city having more or | legs influence on the members of the corporation.— An instince of the influence exercised by these cliques, of the very lowest grade of rowdies, over | some of our worthy fathers of the corporation, re- | cently occurred, where a license had actually been taken from a notorious groggery for violating the law, and a nuisance in the neighborhood—a certain worthy funetionary in the Common Council actually had the license taken out in the name of another, through the influence of some of those cliques. The spirit of cliqueism, in fact, runs through the whole machinery ; and, in fixing a location for the polls, | convenient to some groggery, in the various districts we have often exhibited a rivalry that produces an actual debate—the friends of John Smith, who has his supporters in the Common Council, whom he | actively canvasses, feeling anxious to give him a preference to Tom, Dick or Harry Smith, not at all regarding the convenience of the great bulk of the electors as to locality. Thus time and labor is con- sumed, while we are daily presented with abuse upon abuse, and nuisance upon nuisance, which | would disgrace the veriest country village in the | entire Union. The Spring election will soon follow that of the Fall, which comes off te-morrow ; and the people will sooner or later visit all political Cuina.—The ship Aquetnet arrived last evening Helena are a little later, but reports nothing of any importance.

He was a young man and a resident or native of Jefferson county, N. Y., and had intimated on several occasions that he intended destroying himself in this manner. InreREsTinc From Hayti.—The barque Hecla, | Captain Hoyt, arnved yesterday afternoon from Port au Prince, whence she sailed on the 17th ult. The intelligence trom all parts of the island is in- | teresting and important in a Haytien point of view. The inhabitants were kept in a constant state of alarm, fearing fresh outbreaks and revolutions. The President, Pierrot, had issued a proclama- tion, closing with “ Vive la Liberte! Vive la Repub- lique ! Vive VIndependance! Vive UV Indivisibilité @’Hayti!” and declaring the ports on the Spanish | part of the island in a state of blockade, and that all cated. In the excitement and fear of the Haytien Go- | vernment, several merchants at Port au Prince, sup- | posed to be in league with the conspirators, had been ordered to leave the island. It was reported that all the French had also received directions to retire, Amidst the uncertainty of affairs, however, and | when Pierrot little knew whether his head was safe or not, a bit of clemency crept into his big black heart; and a few lives were thus saved fora | time. Ten condemned politicians had been per- | mitted to have another trial. The following letter from our correspondent, gives a birds eye view of the present condition of things in this distracted island : Ponr av Paice, October 17th, 1845.

Pann TxHearae—Conceat or Leoroup px Mever.— This lion pianist’s benefit attracted a crewded house last Saturday, when he performed, for the first time, jhis grand Fantasia on airs from Norma. This composition is abounding in beauties of the highest order, and the ingenious manner with which the differont airs, individu, | ally and collectively are treated, evinces an originality which we have never seen equalled in any of the modern opera fantasias. With regard to the execution, we are in the | same predicament in which every body is who has to speak of De Meyer’s gigantic performances ; we aro at aloss for words to do him justice, for he is above criti. | cism. But we cannot neglect mentioning tho chaste beauty of his casta diva, and the enormous power dis- played in the finale with octaves for both hands. The Tudfonce showered upon him that applause which no instrumental performer before him ever has elicited.— He was twice called out at its conclusion, as well as yr the ‘‘ Russian airs,” which appeared for the first e on the programme, although he had played part of it at one of his tormer concerts, 1p he was encored in the Marche Marocaine. De Mey repeats the same piece, but always selects a new one from the port- folio of his mind, to which he regularly plays a different introduction, which is a striking proof of his wonderful memory. The last and best was his Marche Marocaine» of European and American celebrity. The oftener this musical Satte Mortale is heard the greater is the effect it produces, and if he would travel over the whole world with this piece slone, he would be surer of greater success than any other living pianist laden with all the gems of the whole musical treasury. It was stormishly applauded, and whi dience demanded an encore, several voloes called out for the “Marche d’Islay, in which the whole house joined chorus, and the “Marche,” therefore, preceded by his beautiful natiurne “Le he ssi was performed by him in unsurpassing style, which called forth thunders of ap- Na t its conclusion. part of the au- er was called out, altogether, ren times, amidst the m ring, ing of , and kuocking with feet and sticks, be many enthusiastic bravos, in the middle of his pieces, \ev- er a pause offered the slighest C1 ger A Unacquaint- ed with the particular and really ridiculous prejudice of many of our religious and fashionable inhabitants, who consider a theatre an immoral or anti-fashionable re- sort, he had chosen the Park theatre for his debut. Not | boa eee his success there has been most astonish- ing. The theatre was crowded by the most discrimina- ting audiences whenever he appeared, and nearly all the seats and private boxes were engaged several days in | advance. The treasury had reaped such a rich harvest of dollars, that an offer was made to him to play six times more at terms greatly exces those of his first engage- r which he was paid $3000, or $500 a night — fectly right to refuse, as there is not the least that he will several times fill the Tabernacle to overflowing, for no student of the piano forte will miss a single opporwunity of being both delighted and improved | through the masterly performance of this unrivalled ar- tist. Leopold de Meyer did what neither Liszt and Thal- berg, or any other pianist, dared to do, to play in a thea- tre of the size of the Park or the Haymarket. ‘The piano forte properly, isan instrumect for the concert room, and slthaugt: the effect he produced there surpassed the ctations of everybody, yet we are convinced that it not be able to stand comparison with that which he will produce at the Tabernacle, where, we understand, hi ive his first concert on Thursday night. ly, called “The Sheriff of the County,” is to be presented at the Park thisevening.

The house was crowded to excess, and considerable interest manifested in the subject of the discourse. His text may be found in the 2nd Epistle of Peter, $d chapter, 8th verse. The Revd. gentleman commenced by saying, the plans and will of God, relative to the affairs of this world were gradually developing themselves—-but it may take thousands of years to develope his wisdom. After some further remarks on this subject, he passed to the discussion of the question—“‘What is the aspect ofthe Romish Church at this time?’ Upon this subject but little correct information exists. Some | think her power ts gone—her glory for ever passed away—that she is powerless for good or evil. | Others allowing their imagination to run riot, are of | opinion that her power is extending itselt over the | universe, and that her faith will everywhere prevail | to the extinction of civil and religious liberty. | Rome is an ecclesiastical city—her municipal go- | vernment a hierarchy—the Pope is King and Pon- tiff, and exercises sway over the Papal States—ihe Cardinals are Princes—everything about Rome be- trays its ecclesiastical character—its principal pub- lic buildings are temples—at every hour of the day _ some bell is heard summoning to worship—the | priests of various orders, in every variety of dress are seen hastening on foot through the streets, an entering the churches, where people are kneeling | on the steps, counting their beads and muttering their prayers. The seven hills of the ancient city | are stil visible.

The Church of Rome knows no territorial boundari rsion of men to tholic faith on the ban souri and Hudson’s Bay, is as much an object of rest as the propagation of that faith in Munich. And | hy the Romish Church has succs . The Protestant Church has no such organization ; but the | Church of Rome has missionaries in every clime—Italy is not her field, but the whoie world. No material changes have taken place in her dogmas. ‘The creed romulgated by the Council of Trent is stillin use.— But the preaching of the Gospel.) in the common acceptation of the term,is quite unknown in Rome. ‘The sermon I heard onone of the great days, in the Sistine chapel, was in Latin, and occupied about six minutes. The Bible in the common tongue is prohibited.

Achange has jo taken place in the physical power, which her Po} rmerly possessed. The rev'd gentleman now alluded to the mode of crushing here- sies by force of arms and the establishment of t Inquisition—the Council of Constance and the | tence of John Huss and others to the flames for heresies-of the pomp and splendor with which the Popes were formerly surronnded, and the obedience with which Emperors and Kings paid to | their mandates. But the physical power is gone. Rome could not now send a second Simon de Montfort to si- lence tho Ronge’s in Germany. The tribunal of the In- | | quisition has been abolished, and it is admitted that ho- | | retical opinions are not to be silenced by burning their | authors or their books.

The market during the week just closed has been very muoh agitated by the speculation that is going on in se- veral of the railroad sto:ks, but the improvement in pri- ces has been almost entirely confined té the stocks un- dergoing the cornering operation. Tho usual effect of any speculative movement in any particular stock is a mode- rate advanco in most others in the list,and oftentimes the movement spreads from one to another until the whole feel its influence, and the exeitement becomes great. A speculation confined to two or three fancy stocks is are concentrated upon the two or three, and a very great inflation is usually the result, and the period of an explo! sion put off; but the longer the upward movement conti" nues the greater must be the decline when it does come. The present speculation is confined principally to two stocks, the Long Island and the Norwich and Worcester Railroad. There was a wide margin for an improvement in these stocks, and it hasbeen nearly, if not quite covered. Quotations have reached a point above what the most sanguine speculator anticipated, and there is now the most imminent,danger of a collapse any moment. Prices for both of these stocks have, with- in the past year been several per cent above those now ruling, and it is possiblo that they may be ex- ceeded this time, but when an advance has been so rapid as the present one, and when prices have become go in- flated, there 1s too much probability of a grest and sud- den decline to warrant purchases to any extent at the top of the market.

The election of the demo" cratic candidate was pretty generally admitted to be sure, and the stock market broke down in censequence. The market, immediately afterwards, recovered, and prices, in several instances, went back to the point from | which they fell.
