y YORK HE EN RALD. ew York, Saturday, November 15, 1545. MAILS FOR EUROPE, AND THE ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY HERALD. The Weekly Herald will be ready for dehvery a 8 o’clock this morning. It will be splendidly illustrated with an engraving of Augusta, in Nathalie, as produced at the Park— and two super illustrations of Leopold de Meyer, as he appeared before the King of the French, and the Emperor of all the Russias, as the Lion-Pianist of the age. This publication, together with an Extra Herald, to be issued at two o’clock this atternoon, will be in time for the mails to go in the Caledonia, which Jeaves Boston, on Sunday, for Liverpool. The let- ter bags will close at the Post Office in this city, at 8 o’clock; on board the steamer Massachusetts, at 4 o'clock. ‘The price of the Weekly Herald, sixpence ; of the Extra Herald, two cents Our Arrangements for the »ext Congress, We are making arrangements for a corpe of re- porter: correspondents at Washington, during the next session of Congress, which will, we think, trip any piece of newspaper enterprise hereto- fore attempted in this country, and even surpass any thing of the kind which we have exhibited in our past career, It is agreed on all hands that the next session of Congress will be one of the most interest- ng which has taken place during the last thirty ic will be the beginning of anew age—the opening of a new era—the breaking out of a new feeling in all that relates to our foreign and domestic affairs. The success of Texas annexation and the prospect of soon acquiring Oregon and California — this rounding off of the limits of the republic, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, together with the extra- ordinary progress and prosperity of this country in all its internal matters, including the improvements of the age in steam, railroads and the magnetic te- legraph, seem to point out the present era as one of the most remarkable in the last thousand years. In view of all these matters, the proceedings of the next Congress will be of the greatest importance, and we have accordingly nearly completed our er- rangements for a corps of reporters, more efficient, more popular and more independent than any news" paper in Washington or any set in the country. We intend to have a set of reporters for each house of Congress, together with correspondents, whose bu- siness it will be to watch the movements of the Ex- ecutive, and to report the social and political events at the west end of the capital. This 1s an important era, not only in the move- ments of nations, and in the progress of society, bat also in the development of the newspaper press. The efforts now making to establish magnetic lines of telegraph between all the principal cities of the Onion, in connection with the metropolis at Wash. ington,and the great commercial and general metro- polis of New York, is going to produce a change in the newspaper press, entirely unknown and unprece- dented in the history of the world. We are con- vinced, from the character and results of this new mode of transmitting intelligence, that the press will be more centralized than ever, and that the jour- | nals of New York, of a leading character, will have | hereafter a circulation beyond every anticipation or any expectation. The aggregate circulation of the New York Herald is now nearly fifty thousand, cir- culating probably amongst one hundred and fifty thousand individuals, families, social circles, cliques and coteries of all kinds, throughout this country and in foreign parts. When the magnetic telegraph shall have been in operation, and the simple events of the day be capable of transmission with the ra- pidity of lightning, from NewYork to New Orleans, and all the intermediate places, an intellectual, in- dependent newspaper press will be developed in the large cities, and particularly in New York—a sys- tem of centralization of mind and intellect, and thought, will be produced which will render useless a great portion of the small papers of the day, that merely communicate news by retail,or second hand. Such 1s the view which we take of the present po- sition of affairs in this country, in connect.on with every element of society and the development of the newspaper press. We are making extensive ar- rangements to avail ourselves of all these new im- provements, and to direct them toa development of the press in every department, that will yet aston- ish the world. Our arrangements thus far are near- ly completed for the session of Congress, and we shall go on, regardless of all expense, to make such improvements as the state of the times demands. years, Printer TO Concress.—A great deal of factitious importance begins to be thrown around the election of Printer to Congress. This arises from the pecu- iar position of the Administration, and the various confheting elements which exist in the democratic party. We understand from Washington that cer- tain propositions have been made by the whig leaders, to Blair & Rives, for the purpose of inducing them to stand in opposition to Ritchie & Heiss, as Printers to Congress. We think, however, it will be utterly impossible for the ex-printers to form any coalition with the whigs, in order to strike a blow at the Administration at the treshold of the session. Blair himself is not aman to inspire much confi- dence, for the announcement made by him relative to the intended publication of a ‘ Congressional Globe,” is, to say the least of it, a very dishonorable transaction, after making a contract with Ritchie & Heiss, selling out the Globle, with the “good will” of the whole concern. As to his partner, John C. Rives, we have a higher opinion of his straight- forward integrity, than that he would violate any agreement, acknowledged or expressed, with Mr. Ritchie. There can be no doubt that the whigs, and probably some of the democratic cliques, would be very glad to concentrate their power and force upon Blair & Rives, to give them the printing, and so defeat Mr. Polk, by prostrating Ritchie, at the open- ing of the session. But that such a coalition could succeed seems extremely doubtful. Another arrangement 1s talkad of, and that is, to give the printing of the House to Ritchie and Heist y and the printing of the Senate to Hart and Harris. Now it is well known that the Constitution, con- ducted by them,is the representative of the southern section of the democracy—the out and out free tra- ders. Now if such a partition of the spoils should be agreed upon, it will at once be seen that a centre of action will be given two great cliques of the de- inocratic party—the, one headed by the admunistra- tion, and the other by those connected with the southern democracy, who are looking forward to the succession. As to the other candidates, Fisk and Dow, we do not consider them as possessing any force, although in their journies to the north they are reported to have said that they controlled twenty ‘ive votes in the House of Representatives and five votes in the Senate, with which small capital they meant to build up a considerable party,to control the event of the public printing. {Cis @ remarkable pec uliarity in the action of a | free goverament that the election of a mere printer by Congress should involve so much deep conside- ration, and bring out so much effort on all sides. This small matter has acquired so much impor- tance, that many of the whig letter writers and edi- tors seem to believe that the tone of the organ, and the very character of the measures to be recom- mended by Mr. Polk, have been assumed in order to aflect the simple matter of the election of printer. We think this is giving too much importance to a small affair, Yet it will have some importance, in the same way that a small serew is of much conse- quence to a very complicated piece of machinery.

Arrarrs IN Mexico.—It appears from all we can | learn, that the following isa fair statement of the | condition of things in Mexico. This state of things | is what probably produced the recent revolution in the minds of the Mexican Cabinet, so favorable to | a peace with this country :— Mexico is again on the verge of a revolution. Presi- dent Herrera has not discovered strength of character sufficient to rule the republic in its present distracted | state. The military faction is opposed to him. This is headed by Gen. Parades, and is the only organization in the country which possesses real power and influence. | General Almonte, is for the present leagued with Pare. des, to procure thé retirement of General Herrera from | the Presidency. The civil political arty opposed to Herrera’s administration also call for his retirement | from office, in order that the Government may be brought beck to the forms of the constitution of 1824. | Herrera refuses to resign, but is said to be willing that | the desired changes in the modes of administration andthe structure of the Government shall be made, ifhe is permitted to retain the chief magistracy, un- der the title and with the powers of Protector of the Commonwealth. And while this internal tempest is raging,jthere is a dark cloud in the distance. Santa Anna is at Havana, and seems inclined to stay there—at least to remove no farther from Mexico. ‘The Mexican gov- ernment have required him to leave Havana and betake himself to Venezuela, which was destined place of banishment. He refuses, on the ground that the govern- ment has violated its promises in the disposition of his property and estates, leaving him, in fact, not money enough to carry him to his stipulated retreat. The general supposition is, that Almonte desires the return of Santa Anna, and that he will shortly effect it. This is opposed to the designs of Paredes, who is very much such a personas Santa Anna him: nd who very well knows that there cannot be two Santa Annas in Mexico. Paredes is a gcod general and popular with the military, but he is represented to be no match for Almente in man- agement and intrigue, and it is not believed that he will be ablo to withstand Santa Anna in the field, if he should return and get any foothold in the country.’ While such ‘government, the condition of the people ible in the extreme. Business has ity of Mexico. The largest retail shops have been open for a month without the shadow of acustomer darkening their duors. The relations be- tween the central government and the departments or States seemed almost suspended, and the most fearful rumors prevailed in Mexico of the outrages of the Co- manches and other wild tribes of Indians, and North- western provinces. ‘The conduct of Barun Alleyo de Cyprey, the French Minister, is represented to have been most brutal and scandalous. * * * * The French government is said to rest its claim for redress upon the fact that its Minis. | ter was arrested and confined by a petty magistrate, without reasonable allegation of cause. It is clearly | our policy to endeavor to prevent France being too strong inher resentment against the Mexicans, for if they are burned and harried out of house and home, how will they ever pay their debts to the American claimants ? city Excumnerep Sipewarx er Passing along Cedar street yesterday, we caught against a nail and sadly tore the skirt of our bran new coat. We took hold of 0: trom which the nail projected, and found it to be ent empty ; and, trying several others there, found them in the same condition.

Novemuenan1a.—That capital poem of poor Tom Hood, entitled November, which gives every body that rends it the blue-devils, has no application, save the title, to the beautiful sunny days, mild, spring-like air, and clear, moorlit nights in which we are now revelling. These are days in which remembrances of past joys, the merry scenes of happy boyhood, glorious visions of the future —all that is bright, soul-cheering and heavenly in life, spring up in the heart, and raise us, fora time, above the dull, jhe and plodding scenes that surround us.—- We almost fancy that the old gentleman pictured in the primer as Father Time, has suffered his glass to become clogged, and that our summer sands are still lingering in the upper compartment. As a sentimental friend of ours once wrote, “ O, Time, how beautiful art thou when thy golden pinions flutter in the sunbeam of eternity.”— We don't know what this means, but presume that some application or other. Pickrockets.—A gentleman, a resident of Philadal- phia, while walking in Wall ‘street this morning, had his pocket lightenod of two £5 Bank of England notes, by some of theso light fingered gentry. Aman was uearly drowned this morning, in attempt. ing to reach the Fulton ferry boat, after she had left the wharf, but was finally rescued from a watery grave, through the energies of the ferry officer: f .—The members of the Grand Lodge will present, on Saturday night, to Mr. Treadwell, the Grand Secretary, a magnificent gold watch. ‘The watch is the most elégant piece of workmanship we ever saw, having all the emblems of the Order upon the dial.

These individuals will not much regret their incarceration, as they will receive for each day that they aro pent up, in addition to an abun- dance of good fare, the comfortable sum of one dollar and twenty-five cents. A New Ban«.—We have been informed that at the next session of the Legislature of this State, plication will be made for acharter for a’ new bank, to be called the King’s County Bank, intended for the accommodation of the numerous tradesmen, builders, mechanics, and others, who roside in the upper part of the city. Nor doubt can be entertain- ed that such an institut much needed, and there ia reely an, the prayer of the petition- ers will be New Puatic Scuoo..—A very capacious and well built structure has just been finished in Middagh street, fora public school, the interior arrrngements being far superior to those of any similar institution either in Brooklyn or New York. It the managers of these ex- cellent and praiseworthy establishments will only devise some measures by which parents may be saved from the continual demands made upon them for books for their children, they will accomplish a great public good, and will obtain the hearty approbation of hundreds who can ill afford to meet the heavy taxation so oftened levied upon their small resources. So far, however, as regards the change of school books noticed in another paragraph, as having been determined upon by the Board of Educa- tion, it is proper to state that the publishers of the new works which will be required for pupils in the several schools, have liberally offered to supply them forthwith, free of charge. : A Revoutine Discosune—Three or four evenings ago, a young man engaged in a respectable business, re siding in Prospect street, on returning home at an hour when he was not accustomed to make his appearance there, caught his wife in a very equivocal position with his own brother. Quite a loud flare up took place on the occasion, and it is expected that the affair will cause gome work for the lawyers, as the grossly injured Bone- diet has avowed his determination to obtain a divorce forthwith. Boanp or Epvcation—In the month of Gctober last, after an exciting and angry discussion which had occu pied the attention of the members of the Board of Educa- tion for seqeral weeks, a resolution was almost unanim- ously adopted in favor of purchasing for the use of the public schools the publications of a Mr. Saunders. By some hocus pocus— and, to us, inexplicable—arrange- ment, the tables have been suddenly turned in favor of the works of another individual. ‘his beautiful piece of legislation was consummated ecial meeting of the Board held at the Common Council Chamber on Thurs- day afternoon last, the proceedings of which sage bod: were marked with the ‘most admired disorder,” not al- together unaccompanied by some scenes of a decidedly farcical character. The philosopher who exclaimed that the world was “ governed too much,” might very appro- priately apply his theory to the acts of those who have undertaken to teach the young idea how to shoot in Brooklyn. ; Bnoxiyn Institute.—The Natural History depart- ment of this Institute met on Wednesday last, but their proceedings did not possess much interest. It is, how- ever, expected that at their next meeting many valuable specimens of minerals and other curiosities will be pre - sented ; in addition to which some papers will be read of an instructive and scientific character. During the win- ter season, several lectures will be delivered on various subjects by some of the most learned and eloquent men | in the United States. Pouce Irems.—-Margaret Brown, of New York, who represented herselfto be the mother of two children, andas having a husband living across the water, was brought before the sitting magistrate to answer a com- plaint made against her for being a common vagrant and drunkard. She presented a most wretched and misora- ble appearance, and was sent to the county jail for ninety days. Another poor creature named Magaret Bennet, was also sent to prison common drunkard.

He had beat her several times before. Inthe present instance he drew her out of bed, and, with a piece of wood that had been cut for firewood, cut her head open in two places. Finea $10 and committed till paid. One of our police officers was called to the caso ofa married woman named Mary Burns, wife of Barnard Burns, who was discovered at six o’clock on Wednesday evening, with her body in the gutter and her head lying the curb stone, in Bridge near Fulton street, in an in- nsible state of intoxication, with two small ch.ldren deavoring to arouse her by calling “mother.” She had remained so for half an hour. Her husband, an i dustrious and sober man,who does every begs J for family, came and took the children away and placed his wife in the hands of the officer. She had been observed intoxicated several times previous, Yesterday morning, being brought before a magistrate, she was sentenced to pay @ fine of $5, and in default, was committed to jail until the fine be paid. Police Inte! NCLs Nov. 14—Pocket Book Foun ‘he wallet lost by Mr. Talbot, of Hamilton, N.

Only $37 of the lost mo- ney, besides the jewelry, were in the wallet when pick- ed up by Mr. H. Disappointed of « Good Dinner—Margaret Chase,having resglved to have a sort of Thanksgiving dinner, rather imprudently helped herself to a fine fat turkey belonging to a Mrs. Stephenson, of the 17th ward, without the con- sent or knowledge of the owner thereof. After taking it home, devoting some time in preparing it for the oven, doubtless with the expectation of enjoying a glorious feast for once in her life time, her agreeable anticipa- ere unexpectedly cut ‘short by the entrance wearing a certain badge of authority in the tar, or, in other words, a policeman had called for the purpose of conducting her into other society than that which she had contemplated dining with on that occasion. The turkey was of course transterred to its rightful owner, and Maggy detained for being such a goose. Obtaining Goods by False Pretences.—A person named Luther V. Moulton, was arrested this morning b; officer J. H. Whikehart, on a chargo of having obtained about $180 worth of boots and shoes by false pretences, from Mr. Charles Alden, of No. 293 Pearl street.

Knowing that you are one of those practical chris- tian philosophers, who are ever ready to look upon all sides of the routine of human affairs, and that you are not slow to notice the low and obscure, as well as the high and ostentatious, and that you ne- ver hesitate to frown upon vice, though robed in ‘Tyrian purple,and give the smile of approbation, and encouragement to virtue, though clad in the habili- ments of mendicancy, I venture to address you from this little town, which is, what we used to call “down east” the “capital” of Franklin county, In- diana. Another motive I have in writing you from this place is, 1 am an admirer of that Byronial adage —“‘variety is the spice of life.’ Now, the Her is ever on track of ‘Royal Game,” or fishing for the “leviathan” and other mighty monsters of the deep, and perhaps it may not be uncongenial to the palates ot some of its myriads of readers, to, now and then, taste a chowder, composed of “buck-eyes,” “corn- crackers,” “suckers,” “pukes,” “woolvereens,” | and “‘hoosiers,” by way of dieting, after being pam pered with all the ehoice luxuries of the old world, | and most of the dainties of the new. So, I beg thee tion of th ; : = Pe eased iy al Nnbse oy f Reed , _ hear me patiently and in due time, I will have one ferry have caused chains to be placed on t prepared from each, well trimmed with “white bread and chicken fixins,” or “corn dodger and commou doins.” This town is located on the White Water Canal, thirty-five miles north west of the city of Cincinnati, and directly in the peninsula formed by the conflu- ence of the east and west forks of the White Water River; a beautiful stream that meanders through the eastern tier of counties of Indiana, and, with the big Miami, empties into the Ohio, about twenty miles below Cincinnati. This river is remarkable | for the clearness and purity of its waters, and the beautiful white pebbles, and the detritus of white silex that form its bed; over which its dancing rip- ples have played since the dove returned to the ark with the olive leat plucked off. The region of | couatry through which this river passes, resembles, in many respects, the valleys of the Mohawk and Schoharie, in my father land. The same fertile ex- tensive flats—the same bold promontories in the distance—the same sloping woodlands—the same intersecting rivulets from the hills, and with all, the same hardy, industrious, thriving popula- tion, composed of Dutch, Yankees, Scotch, Insh, and John Bull’s, that are to be found on the Mo- hawk from Schenectady to Utica. The White Wa- ter Valley, however, far exceeds those above-nam- | ed, in fertility ef soil, and the abundance of its productions. ‘ere, it isno uncommon thing to see the farmer gathering a hundred bushels ef corn from the acre, the stalk of which grows from fifteen to eighteen feet high, and so luxuriant with foliage, that a man on horse-back is lost sight of, after en- tering it the distance of thirty feet—while the ears row from six to eight feet high on the stalk, and rom twelve to eighteen inches in length. This may savor somewhat of exaggeration to the good hus- bandmen of the Empire State, where I used to bend bate and knee to pluck the ear; nevertheless, it is reality. This valley is among the first of the great pork growing regions of the West, and now (since the completion of the. White Water Canal, from the city of Cincinnatt to Cambridge city in this State, at the head waters of the river) everything in the ‘ agricultural department, has sprang, as it were, into renewed life and activity ; and the tarmer is all stir and energy, to pour the fruits of his industry into that excellent market,Cincinnati, from whence they find their way to your colossal metropolis, and other Atlantic markets, and thence the world over. This place was fora long time the eastern frontier town of the territory of Indiana, with its trading houses, forts, block houses, &c.; where the white and red man used to meet in social conclave, for the sale and purchase of the Indians’, lands, furs, &e., and to form treaties of peace and amity be- tween the races. And I am told that around the | coancil fire on one of our bluffs, was interred the | hatchet of discord, and smoked the calumet of peace | between the rude children of nature,and the shrewd, wary, treacherous, Anglo-Saxons, for the last time ; within the confines of the territory of Indiana; | when the Indian bid adieu to his hunting grounde, the graves of his fathers, aud the home of his child- hos and with a heavy heart was compelled to wend his way along the distant trail, to- wards the regions of the setting sun; since which time, peace and ProwieHily have swayed undisturbed empire, 23 is emp! wae indicated by , the wide-spread, beautifully cultivated tarms in this valley and the adjacent country. Itis nota little in- teresting to listen to the aged pioneers, while they rehearse “tales of the times of old”—how they came trom New England, New York, the land of Penn, and the Old Dominion, bringing their patri- mony on their backs, came of a pair of shirts, an old coat, and an axe—how they found the way hither by an Indian trail, and how long they lived without bread; how hard and long they toiled to subdue the sturdy forests; and with all, to hear them tell now how much they are worth; which, by the by, is not to be trifled about; for all of them have their thousands, many their ten of thousands, and some their hundreds of thousands, consisting of houses, lands, flocks and herds; and all acquired by their own honest industry and economy! Proud, proud indeed,may such men feel of their substance, for ie feel that for it they have rendered # rich equivalent. They neither devoured widow’s-houses or robbed the orphan, in its acquisition. The season here, this year, (as you are doubtless he) has been remarkably prop tious to the far- mer. Abundance of every kind is literally heaped upon every farm, and the pork growers in particu- lar, are anticipating a rich income from the proceeds of that staple commodity. The mast and corn were never better, or in greater abundance, and although a less number of porkers’ wiil perish this than last season, still their quality will surpass any season for years. Indeed, the hogs trom feeding on mast pre- vious to being put to corn, are amply “fit for the knife,” and after banquetting upon the golden ear to surfeiting, for two months fener they cau be nothing less than superb. The hydraulic power here is immense, and mostly unoccupied, (upon waich 1 design discoursing in future,) with the exception of a few mongrel mills, corn crackers, “ex-officio,” consequently the community cannot reap the bene- fits of the heavy flouring establishments and other manufactories that could be richly supported ina locality like this. , Ihave thus given you a faint picture of this wee cranny of the Young West—that Young West, too, | which 1s destined to be the most magnificent theatre human action, of any part of terre firma that ever | felt the genial fluence of civilization.
