This elezant paper will be issued, about the com. mencement of the new year, and will be one of the most attractive and valuable holyday annuals issued. It will be a sort of pictorial history of all the leading events of the year 1845. Position and Policy of the Whigs. We are decidedly in the transition state of society at this time, and every sect and party throughout the country 1s endeavoring to find out its naturay position and true policy. This is equally true in re- ference to religious sects, to society, to financial cligues, and particularly to political parties and fac- tions. Setting aside for the present all others, let us look at the present position and policy of the whig party, and estimate, if possible, their prospects for the future. That party is in the very crisis of us destiny, and if it put itself in a wrong position now and take a wrong direction, the fatal error will be felt tor many years to come. What is now the position and the probable course vi (ue whig party? . Since the defeat of 1844—pro- duced not so much by the strength of their oppo- nents, es by the divisions and jealousies of specula- tive notions of the whigs themselves—the great body of the party, with all their leaders, have been very quiescent. The elections that have taken place since that time, have hardly decided anything posi- tive. But there seems now to be a disposition in the great body of the whig leaders and the whig press, to assume a position in the opening of the next session of Congress, which 1s fraught with the greatest importance. We'can gather what the policy of the whig leaders and the whig party itself may be only from the declarations of their oratons, politi- cians andnewspapers. Now, looking ever the broad field, we find that Mr. Webster has taken up, in Bos- ton, a very singular position on thatquestion, which is going to be the paramount one for many years to come—we allude to the Oregon question. He seems to be decidedly in favor of the British claim, and not only the British claim, but he makes a bold declara- tion equivalent to the giving up of the whole of the ter- ritory to any set of adventurers,without regard to the feelings, or wishes, or desires of the great masses of this republic, who undoubtedly are favorable to the retention of the whole of the western territory down to the waves of the Pacific. The general po- licy advocated by Mr. Webster, who is a master spirit of the whige, will, undoubtedly, form the prin- cipal ground-work of their action in the ensuing ses. sion of Congress. This policy, 1t would also appear, seems to be supported and sustained by the whig journals in this part of the country. It must be ac- knowledged, however, that if we are to judge from the developments made by the whig press in Ken tucky, there isa disposition on the mind of Mr. Clay not to go so far in opposition to the retention of the whole of the Oregon territory as Mr. Webster has already sketched out. [But how tar’Mr. Clay may be able to overcome the impulses of Mr. Webster on this question, seems to us to look questionable, ashe is now busied among the bowers et Kentucky, mending his fences and attending to his cattle, in- stead of spiriting up the energies of the whig party at Washington and throughout the country. According to all appearances, therefore, the whig party, led on by Mr. Webster, and the whig press in this part of the country will make a prodigious— a furious—a tremendous onset on the administra- tion of Mr. Polk-—in opposition to the Oregon poli- cy, sketched ont in his inaugural address, and sub- sequently, es we expect it will be, in his forthcom- ing messege. The collision of the two great par- ties on this question will bring forth the general sentiment of the country, and there can be no doubt in ovr mind, that the Oregon fever and the Oregon enthusiasm will far outstrip and soon overwhelm all the opposition that can be brought against it. It is idle to talk, ws they may do in their narrow com- mercial streets of a few of the commercial cities, about the inutility of possession of the Oregon ter- ritory, and the worthlessnes of that region, in com- parision to the continuance of peace. There is a sentiment of ambition—an impulse of progress—a passion for rounding eff the whole of this great re- public to the farthest extremities of the west, that will never give way or be overpowered by commer- cial motives or financial influences. The conse quence, therefore, of the whig party making an especial opposition to the administration of Mr. Polk, on the ground of Oregon, will be to produce a war panic—a prodigious—a tremendous war panic, tn less than six months, and a consequent depres- sion in all those various commercial! and speculative operations which are just beginning to spread their sails to the breezes of prosperity throughout the country. c Another result would be,in the event of any war fever prevailing, by such a collision in Congress, the setting aside of all idea of amending and reducing the tariff, or any other domestic questions which may come up before Congress. If there isto be a difficulty between England and the United States, on the Oregon question, there must be some prepa- ration on the part of our government, involving vast expenditures for the increase of fleets and na- vies, and fortifying the seaports and harbors, and for the creation of a steam flotilla, and for various oth- er systems of defence, which will call for money in large masses. Such demands will, necessarily, pre- vent the diminution of the tariff, rather calling for its increase, if that could augment the revenue. In this point of view, therefore, so far as regards the manufacturing constituents, and supporters, and ad- vocates of Mr. Webster, or the whig party, the war panic which they are about to raise in Con- gress, will be favorable to their manufacturing and financial purposes. In another aspect, if they are connected with the great stock-jobbing cliques, their operations for the fall of stocks will enable them again to make hay while the sun shines. ‘These are some of the peculiar financial and com- mercial views and results that may grow out of the new position of the whigs, under the leadership o, Mr. Webster, at the approaching session of Congress, But there is one point ot view in which this move- ment may be regarded, showing, in a conclusive manner, that it must have originated with men of shallow brains and narrow intellect. If the whig party in the approaching session of Congress endea, vor to get up a war panic on the Orogon question, according to the programme of Mr. Webster and several of the stock-jobbing journals in the large ci- ties, they will be defeated and demolished as effec- wally as they were by General Jackson on the ques tion of the United States Bunk. In fact, there is a reat resemblance between the present position ot ‘he whig party and that which they occupied in 1829-°30, when General Jackson first broke ground against the United States Bank. At that period of eur political history, the bank question produced lit- tle excitement and little controversy. By a concili- | atory and wise policy, it is highly probable that the | but unofficial, returns, that the present popplation of United States Bank might have received the re- | this State is 2,600,374, which is within about six hun, | dred of our calculation. This gives an increase of170,- | 938 in five years. Many of the counties exhibit ade- | crease ; many have remained ina sort of statu quo ; newal of its charter, with the concurrence of General Jackson, But the speculators and un- wise politicians of that day adopted a different course. When Jackson made some intimations against the policy of renewing the charter, the stock-jobbers of that day undertook to create out of that a panic, a depression in the stock market to throw every thing into confusion; and very unwisee ly, Nicholas Biddle, then at the heed of the great banking institution, gave into a coercive policy, and was the means of bringing out the great lead- ers of the whigs on the bank question in opposition to the administration. The means by which the whig leaders of that day were thos mafshalled ugiiust Jackson, may be fouad amongst the asses ts et the bank in Philadelphia, in the shape of worth to the amount of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Well, what was the consequence of that move- ment? Panics in the stock-market—derangement of busipess—publie meetings—great excitement— vast assemblages—furious orations—and great movements of all sorts, all mixed up and blended together. The result of that false position, then as- sumed by the whig party through the intervention of its leaders of that day, and influenced by the money of Nicholas Biddle, who then controlled the bank, was the total and disastrous defeat of 1832, Magpicat Marrers ms New Yorx —There 18 quite | an excitement at present in the medical part of the | inhabitants of New York, ag regards the curious | progress which this city is making in the matter of | not only médical knowledge, but also as regardsthe | extraordinary start which it has taken as to a pecu- liar branch of the profession, one which thiseity has | not till within a few years been at all famous for, and that is, the teaching of medicine. The profession in this city is very peculiar in its | position, and though New York boasts of a large number of dminent men in this line, men who, in and a complete annihilation of that party, until the | point of abilities and acknowledged télent, stand revulsion took place in 1837, by which means they | equal with any other collection of scientific men in got into power in 1840, only to enjoy it for forty | world ; yet this body is split up into innumerable days, Such ,was the position of the whig party—such was the policy they adopted in 1829-30, in reference to the great question of that day—the United Syges Bank ; and such seems to be the policy adopted by them in the present day with regard to a still more influential and mighty popular question—the Oregon question, influenced by the manutacturers and stock-jobbers, and “bears,” and all the various mas- ter politicians of the party. Mr. Webster and the. other whig leaders, and? te whig organs, are assu- ming a ground that i8“ entirely anti-American—en- tirely foreign—and it will swamp the whole party in less than six months. There can be no mistake about the natura! impulses of the great masses in this country in regard to the Oregon territory. No matter what the sentiments of Mr. Calhoun, or Mr. Benton, or Mr. Any-vody-else, have been in former years, the great mass of the people are now speak- ing out one language on that question, just as they did on the Texas question; and Mr. Webster, or any other great man, who rises in hostility to that movement of the American people, will find him- self shipwrecked and stranded before he knows where he is. We are, then, perfectly astonished to see the whig organs and whig leaders already pre- paring to commit the same fatal error, which pro- duced to them such overwhelming disaster between the years 1830 and 1836, and which will even, to a greater extent, cover them with ruin between the years 1845 and 1850, if it be persisted in. This is the position,of the whig party, whatever the enthu- siasts, the fanatics, the Fourierites, the stock-job- bers, the “‘ bears,” the abolitionists, or any other of the odds and ends of which the whig party is eom- posed, may say to the contrary. factions, and the effervescing of these various cliques 1s one of the most amusing things possible. The | homeepath is arrayed against the allopath—the be- lever in the efficiency of the water cure, against | those who place their faith in the virtues of brandy | and salt, and so on ad infinitum ; but the most cur” | ous part of the thing is, that these disputes are by no | means confined to their professional characters—they | are notcarried on in the Pickwickian sense only, { but are made matter of djscussion in the social cir- | cles of life, and many are the heartburnings, envies and jealousies which originate in these professional squabbles. | This spirit is again carried out on a large scale as regards the comparative merits of the professional standard in different cities, and the firet publications of medical works on an extended scale that was commenced in this city some two or three years | since, aroused the ire of the Philadelphians so much, | that in their {reviews of these works, they would scarcely allow that any thing of merit could have been published in New York. From the circum- stance that the medical profession nad long led the van in society there, the Philadelphians had learned to look upon it as the fashionable profession of their city, and they thus deemed it a sin of the greatest | magnitude in any one to attempt to interfere with | them. Thus things have been progressing for some years | Past, till anew era dawned on the New Yorkers, and the palm of superiority was to be openly disput- ed for with other cities, and the opening of the cam- paign may be dated from the first commencement | of the New York University ,or New School of Me- | dicine as itjis called.

But in the hands of Mr. and Mrs.Kean,the characters of the Stranger and Mrs. Haller were everything they could be. Upon Mrs. Kean’s appearance, she was greet- ed with a most enthusiastic burst of applause. Weney- er saw her look more finely.

Vauentine Mott, Jr.—This lady’s Concert, which takes place this evening, is the engrossing topic of conversation among the fashionable circles of the city.

They say that she possesses a superior voice, Which she controls with remarkable felicity, that she has been instructed by some of the first masters in Europe, and it is their beliet that her debut will be the most successful ‘affair of the kind that has taken place for many years in New York.

With regard to the | ae ot which our reporter spoke yesterday, we learn there has been much skeptici ‘Lhe “ critter’ re- served in spirits, and can be seen at the Second Ward Hotel. Inrerestinc Movement amonc tHE Orricers or tHe Manne Court.—The ward constables who have reviously kept their desks and performed their business in the Marine Court room, received avery sudden no- tice to quit a few evenings since, and fail to do so, their desks were taken out, and placed upon walk in | tho Park. The officers took it very coolly, and posted | upon their desks small placards, giving notice that they | had taken up their offices there, and all orders left there | would’be punctually attended to, Matters remained in | statu quo until yesterday mori, hen found from the Street Commissioner, n desk, commanding the owners to remove them within a | limited period. This is certainly an interesting difficulty. We certainly think that the officers ought not to be | ejcoted from their usual places of business without pro- vision being made for them elsewhere. Tenta Warp Station Hovse.—Tho officers of the | Tenth District have fitted up their station room with much neatness. In place of the usual dirty bunks pro vided for them, eack officer has provided for himself a | cot bed, which ia kept in good order ; the floor has been | carpeted, utensils have been provided for making coffec | in the night, and now they are about fitting up a reading | is certainly very creditable ou | room. ‘This enterprise the part of the officers. “ Mew Wanrep ron Waatina.”—Passing along South | street raster, we noticed flying from a number of | second story windows, large flags bearing the above in- | scription. Time has been when the idea of “ going a whaling,” was the happiness of every qos ster who felt the parental yoke galling him too heav: dreds of boys have run away from home shipped | themselves for three year voyages. But the hardships | of whaling have now reached the ears of almost every | body, and there is much difficulty found now in pro- | curing hands. The only way in which good men may A | be procured for this most useful business, is to make it more of an object than it now is. Greenkorns and some- | times even old sailors, have been deluded by flattering representations of money-making, into the idea of , spending years in the hardships of a whaling voyage. | nd they have often returned, and when the bills were | settled, it was found that the debt and credit side | balanced each other, and the poor fellows have been | turned off without acent. If whalers will but deal | perfectly honorably with their hands, t! difficulty in procuring good men for th Imposing Procession.—The funeral of Mrs. Rebecca | Cropsy, which took place ps eaeniay ufternoon, from her late residence, No. 289 Madison street, presented a sight | rarely to be met with. Mrs. Cropsy, the deceased, was | a member of 0! the many Temperance societies o° our city, and he: in the cause turned out in great | numbers to convey ment. The procession of ladies numbered hundred, moving solemnly slong, two abi dy wore a white rosette on her left bre: formed a solemn and imposing sight. Tur Frencn Lectuner.—M. Boquet, the French Lec- turer, was listened to last ing at the Society Libri ry, by a small but respectable auditory. His subject was of ‘a religious character, and drew together Catholicism and Protestantism. It was in the French language.

Rarriinc ror Pouttny axp Gamw.—This practice, | quite universally established among a large portion ot | the countless three-penny groggeries of our city, has | become alarmingly productive of much and increasing | evil, and should be in som yy abated. Transparencies and other alluring devices intended to arrest ‘the atten- tion of the thoughtless pedestrian, may be seen in all their glittering array, in most of ates sponetpel avenues. Chatham street, Bowery, Grand, Catherine, Canal, and indeed, our most populous thoroughfares abound with | these ‘traps” of debauchery, iniquity and vice. The | Chief of Police, (than whom we know none more active | in his vigilance) would do well to deploy a respectablo representation from his chosen-body guard, to check the | threatening consequences which t surely At from too much of his official and patient forbearance. | We have before alluded to this matter, and hoped to be spared the necessity of farther interft rence. Wixp Boar Huntinc.—We are glad to see that this | ancient amusement of the chase is revived in these lat- | ter days of money and speculation. We yesterday were witness to a hunt of this description, and in the counte- | nances of the principal actors could trace the thrilling sensations which we read animated the sportsmen of old The chase commenced at the corner of West Broad- | ‘way and Chambers street, where a drove of hogs were vartaking of a meul which the philanthropy of some citi zons of the neighboring houses provided for them. One | of their number,a huge boar, with the aid of his fore-le; and teeth, was engaged in dissecting the meat that a hered to a large beef-bone, when he was disturbed luxury by one of that class between whom and the b: breed there is irreconcilable hostility, we mean that class of Dutchmen who parade the city, crook in hand, | and with surprising dexterity, by t ef the erook, transfer bones, rags, and other unco! red trifles,from its to their baskets. One of these worthies, the | in question, observing the boar engaged with the beef-bone, and ae him sharply, proceeded lei- surely to pick up the fragments which were thrown around, intending, at the last, to take the bone from the boar. Having done so, he approached the boar, but was foiled in his endeavor to with it in his mouth; the Dutchman utterin; tion which we thought was “ourky wousky,” pursued | the pig—and now the chase began inearnest, the Dutch- | man settling his stock, so that in the excitement nothing should fall overboard. Away they went down West Broadway, the pig about 30 yards ahead, occasionally , turning his eye on his pursuer, and seeing him still pur- | suing, would redouble his exertions. At the corner of | West Broadway and Leonard street, the boar rushed in | among another batch of pigs, thinking in this way to , fool the Dutchman, but he wes mistaken, for he had him | inhiseye. The sportsman, now thinking victory with- | in his grasp, crept up slowly behind the boar, but the boar observing this trick,darted away with renewed en- | ergy, still pursued by the Dutchman, who gave another | exclamation of “ousky wousky, ousky wousky,” and | continued the chase. At the corner of Lispenard street, | the sportsman tripped and was near falling, at the same time dropping from his bagket three or four small bones. In his eagerness to continue the chase, he, sportsman an exclama- | like, appeared to disregard this accident, and did not | stop to recover them; he merely made an observation, taking the latitude and longtitude of the locality, so that he could recover the lost treasure at his leisure, i ky wousky,” continued the cl appa- xcited, grinding bis teeth and strik- k. The boar continued down nal, where he stopped at the corner of Hudgen, pursu- by the Dutchman almost exhausted with the fatigues of the chase, the boar frothing at the mouth. On thear- rival of the sportsman, the boar took in his mouth the bone which he had dropped for a moment,and again start- ed; the Dutchmi chase was di ing “‘ousky wousky,” but the id and the Dutchman to re- perseverance. When the chase had bade Roa heh} eee Viner om Jarod oe ed, apparently much fatigu in droppe: one to rert; the Dutchman saat reached him, when the boar again seized the bone but proceeded but a few rods when he let it fall, and proceeding a little further came to a dead stand and faced the Dutchman, his instinct and ex- | rrp 2 in the ways of the world teaching him that tho jone and not himself was the object of pursuit. Tho Dutchman transferred the bone to his basket, and for ten minutes stood speaking at the boer very angrily. We could not understand what he said, but every word sound ed like “ousky wousky.” gain utteri: te Magnetic TeLeoraru.—A meeting of the stock- holdersof the New York and Philadelphia Magne- tic Telegraph Company was held on Saturday, the 8th inst. at Washington. From the proceedings that took place at the meeting, we learn that the line between Philadelphia and New York will be ready for the transmission of news and general in- telligence ina few weeks; also, that negotiations were on foot, which ed likely to be successtul, for extending the line to Baitimoro.

At the time of the alleged disaffection among the crew of the Oscar, one of them, (@ man nat Leon- ard Curtis, of New York, who shipped at Saint Helena) was shot dead by the Captain, Isaac Ludlow.— ‘The latter has also been sent to New York, by the Ame- rican Consul—to be tried for murder— 18 now on board the barque Eunomas, the arrival of which is hour- ly expected.

It is also proper to add that the Reverend Doctor state of the weather as an excuse, the aforesaid place that on that particular occa: | worship would probably be closed up, and without a con- gregation. Minitany.—The Washington Horse Guards of Brook- lyn, underthe command of Capt. John McLeer, made a very fine appearance during a parade which they made yesterday. How singularly democratic the military in- stitutions of this country are, bt well be judged from the fact that the commander of this well disciplined and populer troop, (althou; flourishing and re: table tradesman) holds a civi tion whicn is dig: xd with no better title than ‘sweeper of the market.” . The Columbian Rifle Corps, whose target excursion was noticed yesterday, met with a truly warm and hos- reception from the people generally of Jersey Gity. At the hotel (or tavern) which they selected as their he: quarters, ey were well entertained, and their “shooting” was somewhat snperice to ordinary exhibi- tions of this kind.

She was found guilty, and sentence suspended. Inthe meantime she way re- manded to jail, uttering violent protestations against ‘in that she country would be ruint enthirely.” She has been in | buta few weeks. Piscarory.—The new Atlantic Dock, and the wharf at the point of Red Hook, afford good sport for the lovers of the piscatory art. Those who have time and patience to fish with the rod are often well rewarded with pleasure | and health among the pure breezes of ButtermilkChannel. Boarp or Epucation.—A special meeting of this Board will be held to-day for the purpose of disposing of the school book question, which has for so long a period | been a subject of warm and angry discussion among the learned Thebans who have educational charge of the ju- veniles of section of the country.

Iam well as- sured you could not have any pessible wreng motive in ublishing the above, and that you will now do me the | justice of stating in your paper that no one ever before | hase’ d me with having done a dishonest act, and | that the arrest alluded to was wrongfully made, as the Police Justice, before whom I was brought, immediately discharged me; and that the officer who made the arrest | has since been held to bail in $1€00, by his honor Chief | Justice Jones, of the Superior Court, for the outrage.— | The Herald is read by my small circle of friends, and by | publishing this you will aid in removing the suspicion | this affair has necessarily brought upon me from its pub- licity.
