NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Friday, November 14, 1845. == Our Pictorial Weekly. The Weekly Herald will this week be illustrated with a beautiflul engraving of Augusta, as she ap- peared in “ Nathelie” on the Park stage. This, with the news of the week, will make this number a very interesting one. Important from Washington—Our Foreign Relations. The news from.Washington, particularly that con- nected with our foreign relations, is beginning to be daily of the utmost importance, not only to the com- mercial circles, but to every class of society.

Panx Tneatae.—Last evening, @ large and highly | fashionable audience assembled et the Park, to witness the reappearance of Madame Augusta. After the perfor- | mance ofa verypleasant little vaudevilje,called the“Lost | Letter,” in which Messrs. Bass and Dyott, and in fact all | the performers, made much sport, the curtain rose for | the second act of ‘“ Nathalie.” This is a comic panto. | mime; but why the second act should be selected, we do not see, as allthe dancing is in the first. Madame Augusta, however, had an opportunity to exhibit her fine powers in pantomime, and received tremendous ap_ plause. The acting of Mons. Frederick was very neat. Between the first and second acts of the “ Wedding Day,” Madame Augusta again appeared, and danced with Mons. Frederick “ The Postilion.” In this sho was loud ly encored, and danced it again.

In fact, | | the Bowery is well filled every night, and oftentimes overflowing. The performances on this occasion, were the celebrated and highly-interesting tragedy of the | “Robbers ef Bohemia,” after which, the “Magic Foun- tain,” and the conclusion ‘Paul Pry.” ‘This we really On the other hand, we see anti-renters in the | neral, the cost of transmitting a column of intelli- | call anattractive bill of fare for one night, and our citi upon the events now transpiring at the federal ca- | counties of Albany, Rensselaer, Delaware, Scho- | gence from Washington to New York will be near- | harie, and some others, banding together for poli- ly one hundred dollars.

We particu- larly refer to our relations with England, as well as those with Mexico. First of our relations with Eng- land Polk’s administration has abandoned all negotiations * tor the present on the Oregon question, and that they stand in precisely the same position in regard to that policy in which it was left by Mr. Calhoun when he retired from the State Department.— There have been rumors and statements that a proposition was made to the British Minister to re- sume the negotiations on the 49th degree of latitude, but they are generally denied and contradicted. The tone of the government organ, we meat the Union, in reterence to this matter, developes, be- yond all possibility of doubt, the position of Mr. Polk on that important question. We give in our paper to-day another great and important article on this subject, which removes all doubt, if any existed. The American government now claim the whole of the Oregon territory from the 42d degree of latitude down, to 54 deg. 40 min, against all other claimants, of any kind whatever. Amongst the statesmen, and politicians, and newspaper writers of the day, this bold and daring position assumed by Mr. Polk, has been attributed to the influence of Mr. Benton, Sen- ator from Missouri, for the purpose of presenting a check to the progress of his great rival, Mr. Calhoun, amongst the popular masses of the South and West, with whom Oregon is supposed to be the prominent question. This idea seems plausible. Mr. Van Buren has been driven ont of the field of ambition, and his place is oceupied, though in a smaller and nar- rower way, by Silas Wright. The politicians of this school have hitherto been very cautious on the subject of the Oregon question, with a view, probably, of using it for their own special advantage whenever the time was favorable. But the masses of the peo- ple in this city, and throughout the State, have taken thct question out of their hands, and made it alead- ing point in the recent movements at the election. Mr. Walker, the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Benton, a leading Senator from the West, and Gen- eral Cass, together with the administration, are fa- vorable .o the whole claim put forth for the Oregon territory ; and if it may have been represented here- ‘ofore that Mr. Benton was favorable to any subdi- vision of the claim, it is now evident that this ground has been abondoned for the new and great move- ment of the day. If, therefore, Mr. Calhoun should, at the South, maintain the position which he recent- Jy occupied on this question, it 1s very evident to see that between the action of the two parties, on this question, he will be entirely outgeneralled and de- molishec, and driven from his whole position of strength The Oregon question is now about to play a part in the great game, of the same importance as that played by the Texas question, two years ago. It may be, perhaps, a little more dangerous—a little more ticklish, because we have the great power of England to contend with ; but we do not apprehend actual hostilities with that power, even if we should persist in our claim to the whole of that territory.— ‘The trade of England with this country is probably worth to that power twenty times as much as'the whole value of that distant territory would be to it, and the supply of cotton, under the present British manvfacturing system, isa lever with which we can successfully control the operations of England, so far as this country is concerned. Her ministers may fume—her statesmen may storm—her writers may rave, but she is so completely bound and mana- cled with the cotton cords, that it never can get be- yond ranting, and raving, and talking. In this as- pect of the case, therefore, we have no doubt that the administration, and those who have suddenly become its supporters, will produce great excite- ment on the Oregon question in the approaching session of Congress, and that our foreign relations will become exceedingly interesting, the news from Washington every day being more and more sought after. So also with respect to our relations with Mexico. A sudden change has, it seems, taken place in the disposition end policy of the Mexican government, and by the accounts which have just been received at Washington, brought in the recent despatches, there can be no question of the peaceable disposi- tion of Mexico and the wish to resume negotiations on the disputed questions between the two countries, even on the basis of Texas annexation to this coun- try. This is a most unexpected—a most extraordi- nary change in the policy of the Mexican govern- ment, and we have every reason to believe that this sudden change in the present rulers of Mexico, has been brought about by strange revelations of the purposes of France and England, relative tothe tuture destiny of Mexico, Cuba and California. The Mex- ican government have felt that during the Texas ne- gotiations, they were duped by the Ministers of France and England, and that it is probable, from recent intimetions, that there is a grand scheme forming, in conjunction with the Cabinets of France und Englan J, to menace the rights and liberties of Mexico fr the purpose of facilitating the ambitious designs of France or Spain upon Mexice, and of Engle ad on Cuba and California. The British and French governments undoubtedly would be glad to have sole control of Cuba, Mexico and California, and all that part of the world, in order to present a check and balance to the growing power of the Uni- ted States. The Mexican government is beginning to see that policy, and hence the sudden change and offer to negotiate on their part now in the hands of the American government at Washington ‘Thus it will be seen that our foreign relations are in the most interesting condition imaginable—that suddenly, from a most hostile position against this country, Mexico has assumed a friendly posture, frightened and inumidated by the ambitious views oi France and England on her territory and inde- pendence ; and that at the same time our relations oy England are loosening and loosening every ay, in Congress, and the creation of panic on panic. On every hand things are assuming a most interesting position, and the news trom Washington every day will be of the deepest imaginable importance. — Axrcoia.—A splendid ship of 700 tons burthen, to be called the Arcola, will be launched trom the yard of Messrs.

It is developed in all their movements, and proclaimed in all their language—it is a deep and settled determination to uproot and destroy the present order of society, and spread anarchy, confusion, and misrule throughout the land. Its immediate object is to array the pre- judices, passions and feelings of the ignorant, indo- lent and miserable against the educated, industrious and comfortable among us, and then, to hght the torch of fanaticism which, borne on the wave of de- luded, ungovernable, vindictive popular feeling, will carry terror and dismay to the hearts of all reasonable and thinking men, and finally producea dissolution of this glorious and blessed union of States. Let us act, therefore, with wisdom and caution— Jet the laws be strictly enforced, in full confidence that justice and right will eventually triumph. Rexiaious Into.eRance.—The organization of the Colporteur Association was completed a few evenings since, by the adoption of a constitution, and the appointment;of officers. Judging from what fell from the Rev. Dr. Tyng, and the Rev. Dr. Kirk, on the occasion, and the sentiments expressed by those gentlemen towards their Roman Catholic brethren, we are afraid that bigotry and intolerance, of the worst description, will animate the course of the association. 1s it not unchristian in thuse men who are pro- fessedly followers cf the meek and lowly Jesus, who, while on earth, preacied charity towards all men, to entertain such violent and intolerant views towards a portion oftheir brethren, from whom they happen to differ on some doctrinal points ?

Herr Avexanver.—Such a brilliant array of female beauty as nightly is seen inthe front boxes at Niblo’s, is no where else to be found in the city.

H. Brown, was launched from his ship yard yes- terday morning at half past 8 A. M., in presence of quite 2 company of spectators. She went off the stocks in fine style and without any accident. She then towed around to the establishment of Hogg and Delamater, at the foot of Vestry street, North river, there to receive her prestingrye si aunch boat as well as a splon- did model, and reflects great credit on herbuilder. She is owned by James pees Esq., of Boston. She is 750 tons burthen, 258 feet long, 28 wide, and 10 feet deep. She is to run between Boston and Portland. In the same yard there is a steamer of 1400 tons, to be launched in about two weeks. Wits Lah lara pict was presented to the Common Council on Monday evening last, by Alderman Stoneall, to level and widen William street,trom Maiden Lane to Frankfort street, and thence carry it ina straight line through to Chatham street. We really hope that this eo may be adopted. Were it done, William street would become one of the greatest thoroughfares in the city, and would prevent Nassua from being so crowded. We understand that the property holders in William street are strongly in favor o! It would enhance the value of their property considerably.

Times of the 29th ult. furnishes ee following account of the change of the route in ent failures : The new arrangement, ordered to go into effect on the Ist of November, was to transport the great mails from Atalanta, the head of the Georgia Railroad, and 40 miles above Covington, the poin. at which it has hereto- fore been delivered for th by Newman and La Grange to Chehaw, making ed in time of twelve hours to Montgomery. contractors on the stage route from Coviny y ered to move their stock in the upper road to receive the mail at Atalanta, and the contractor for a tri-weekly mail from Newman to Columbus. was ordered to curtail his route from New- nd put up on adaily line from La Grange to Columbus to run in connection with the great mail at the former place - this arrangement to take effect lst November. The great mail continued to arrive at this place as usual until the 20th October. After that day it was contemplated to run the new schedule. Salt- marsh & Ellsworth moved to the upper road, and agreed with Mr. Lee, contractor from La new arrangement on that day. Every thing has b out of joint since, and the reason turns out to be that ti Georgia Railroad has continued to deliver the mail Covington, instead of Atalanta. The Columbus mail hi since arriving at fro A.M. P. M. ru- mored that there 4 still Georgia Railroad and the Department.

Unrrep States Paisoxyns.—In addition to the prison. ers brought to the jail of this city from the brig Oscar, as mentioned in yesterday's Herald, there are several other yersons confined in the sam jon, by direction of the United States Marshal of the Southern District ; he hav- ing selected that fine, commodious, clean, and well re- ted establishment, as far prefers any in New ‘ork. It would be well worth the while of oy modern Howard, to go through the various apartments of this building, and examine the admirable order of its arrange- ments. Riot.—Frequently as we have cautioned the authori- ties of Brooklyn, against longer tolerating the numerous dance houses and raffling shops, which hang out their brazen banners in different of the city, they are still kept open with impunity, aud their proprietors, with shameless effrontery, bid the laws defiance. At a late hour on Wednesday night, p.dingrecetsl riot occurred at one of these places, corner of Jackson and Concord streets, of which a Dutchman is the chief manager. Al- though two watchmen, (Helm and Willis) accompanied by Captain Lester Rose, were promptly on the spot, and took into custody some of the ringleaders, the latter were 8) eay. rescued by their companions, and all suc- ceeded in making their escape, after a sharp and severe conflict with the officers, during which some awkward and heavy blows were given and received on both sides. One of the rioters, an Irishman named Edward MSnigap, so fortunate as the rest of the lawlers gang, and he was taken to the cells, and yesterday ning held to bail inthe sum of five hundred dollars, ‘er for his malconduct at the next court of Oyer iner. Femate Cottrcr.—A building, to be used as a col- lege for ladies—on rinciple of the Rutger’s Institute of NeW York, but on a far more extended scale—is now nearly completed in Jerolamon street, in Brooklyn. It will be one of the largest and most splendid edifices in the city, and will be under the man: tion of a company of lemen of standing, who are determined to make it the most popu- lar institution of the kind in the United States. Fine.—About noon on Wednesday the house of Mr. Marium, Oran; et, took fire from the burning of the chimney. Enj Copanies 2, 3 and 4 were promptly on the spot, but the fire had been extinguished by the family. Bunatary.—The house of Mr. Wm. Neal, No. 27 Wil- low street, was entered through the rear of the house, on Tur last, and rob! of a quantity of ladies’ earing apparel anda numbér of books, some having his name ped upon them, Hacxs anp Cans.—Although the persons engaged in this business in Brooklyn are, as a body, far moro orderly, quiet, and well-behaved than their brother whips ww York, yet outrages are of almost dail: occurrence among the at the ferry landings, which demand the attention of a vigilant police. It is true that inted by the Commen Council to i je nuisan- inadequate to the demand upon his time, and in other respects so con- temptibly small, that he cannot reasonably be expected to be constantly at his post, or encounter any personal risks for the suppression of tumult and riot. Wricuers ano Measunens.—Since Brooklyn has be- come a celebrated mart for the manufacture and sale of flour, and its brands have obtained much favor amot dealers, the holders of commissions as weighers measurers are doing a large and profitable business, and much competition exists among them as to ‘who shall most early secure the cargoes of w! arriving at the wharves.

Another Burglary—A room e building No. 71 C dar street, was broken open jterday and robbed of a fine fold pencil case and some jewelry, also about $41n old silver coin. Still Another—The dwelling of Mr.Bernard Henrique: of No. 24 St. Marks’ Place, was feloniously entered soi time yesterday, and a gold watch and chain, also anw ber of other valuable articles stolen therefrom. Robbing a Passenger.—A wallet, con’ bills on the banks of Utica and Waterville, a breast pin, and a fine gold shirt stud, was stolen frem a Mr. H. M. Talbot, of Hamilton, in this State, while on board tho steamboat Troy, on hor last trip down the river. Attempt to Stab.—A person, named Charles Curran, was arrested last night, and detained to answer, for as- saulting and attempting to stab a policeman. Malicious Trespass.—J. O. Marrie was brought up and held to answer, for breaking the windows of a house in the 6th Ward. Grand Larceny.—Two men, named John Slate and Hiram Van Nostrand, were arrested this eve by offi- cer Josephs, ona charge of having committed a ny on the Sth of October last, under the follow: singular circumstances : On the day referred to, ene o the accused, (as it is alleged) accompanied by a female who has not yet been arrested, hired a small store in pre- mises No. 60 West Broadway, and moved a few articles into it during the course of day, and informed the landlady, who occupies the d: ng part of the premises, that they should remain in the store during night forthe urpose of protecting their property. In the course of the evening, the female sallied forth into the streets, and met with a stranger in the city, named Thomas Hadden, a resident of Oneida county, then boarding at No. 101 Washington street, whom she enticed inte the store, where she and her accomplices rifled his pockets of $175. Immediately after his departure from the place, the guil- ty party packed up every thing, and removed them from the premises. Mr. H. on discovering his loss the follow- ing morning, returned to the place for the pr of. J his money restored, wheu he found the birds flown and left no trace behind. Officer Josephs, how- ever, turned his attention to the case, and has at length succeeded (as it is believed) in bringing at least two of the offenders to ice.

Thomp- son, publisher of the Gazette, H. H. Dunckler, Moses Wisner and Charles Draper. When the bill was brought into court the defendants offered to go to trial immediute- fad the prosecuting attorney refused, on account of absence of Mr. Birney. As Birney wasat ‘inaw when the bill was found, it was concluded the sr jury (almost all of whom were Democrats,) had made the pra- sentment without any lawful proof of the falsity of the Garland letter.
