They claim the title to | the whole of Oregon, but leave the question of how } much they will take to contingencies and future | 2s events. This seems to be the general understanding in every quarter, and it may create a great deal of disenssion hereafter. At all events the views of the adminis- iration, judging from the givings out of the organ, are not so belligerent or uncompromising as hereto- fore On the subject of Mexico and our relations with that power, there seems to be no doubt that diplo- matie intercourse is about to be resumed. It seems that the British government has given notice to the »vernment of Mexico of its determination to fore- close certain claims and mortgages which it has on ‘end titles in California and other States, of that Union, as an indemnity to English bondholders.— ‘This determination on the part of Great Britain may acconnt for the change in our relations with the Mex- ican government, and we expect to see all our diffi- culties settled with that government in a cordial manner, On the whole, therefore, it would seem that our foreign relations, even with England, are notin so menacing a position as they seemed to be at the last accounts. But they are certainly in a very ticklish condition, and from the action of parties in Congress no one can tell how soon the government may not only claim the whole of the Oregon territory, but under a law of Congress, may be compelled to take possession of the whole, and then will come up col- lision between the United States and England.— Everything depends on future events, and on the next session of Congress. TweatricaL anv Mvsicat.—A season of most ex- traordinary prosperity and revival has dawned upon theatrical and musical art in this country The ap- pearance of the great artist on the piano, De Meyer, has ereated a furor in the musical circles of a most remarkable character. When Ole Bull, Vieux Temps, and Artot appeared, a great excitement was produced, but never was there such an excitement in favor of music generally, as that which exists at this moment. De Meyer has appeared nine times six umes at the Park, and thrice at the Tabernacle On each occasion he has won fresh laurels, and his concerts have been crowded with enthusiastic audi ences beyond anything we have ever seen. De Meyer according to all the musical criticism of this city—and it isnow very much improved beyond what it was two years ago—is the greatest artist of the day, on any instrument. He not only unites power with sensibility as a performer, but his com- positions are the most exquisite and dignified things that have ever been heard in that line. Ole Bal! is now about to close a career of two years in this country, with one or two concerts in tus city—a career which has been unprecedented It is probable that he has cleared, dur- » fitty or sixty thousand dol- lars, beside making troops of friends, who will al- ways remember himwith the deepest interest. As an artist on the violin, Ole Bull’s reputation stands higher than that of any other, although a large por- tion of the musical world esteems Vieux Temps as his equal, if not his superior, as a mere performer. Vieux Temps, however, never created the enthusi- astic feeling of personal regard which Ole Bull has enlisted. Ole Bull is now, as we have said, about to closea brilliant career in this country, and if he do not return to Europe in a few weeks, he will probably become a citizen of the United States, bring his family over to this land, and become a settler in the mighty west. But this is not all the attraction in the musical circles. Templeton, the great vocalist of the age, is :lso amongst us. He has given several concerts in thi city, with astonishing success ; and in Boston, trom which city he returns in a few days, he has had a career, brilliant and profitable in the extreme. Then we have the Deley troupe. Miss Deley’s Success as an artist of the highest order of genius, has been complete. Besides all this, a young married lady of this city—connected with a distinguished physician and surgeon—Mrs. Mott, has made also a very remarkable debut as a cantatrice, and received unequivocal applause for her talents and natural powers as a vocalist. Infact, the whole fashionable world have now a taste for music,unprecedented dur- ing past years. With regard to theatricals, our progress during the last few months has been equally rapid and equally surprising. Mrs. Mowatt, a lady of this city, recently made her debut as an actress, and took at once the first rank in the profession. Mr. Murdock 148 also taken a rapid lead in the upper region of theatrical affairs, and time and practice may enable him to sustain himself, and maintain his position. — ‘The Keans have been carrying every thing before them, creating every where a perfect storm of en- thusiasm. All our theatres are well attended, and more money is now weekly expended on theatrical and musical ‘entertainments, than was spent in this way in months, a year or two ago. Theatrical and musical genius is indeed reaping a harvest, prolitic beyond all exampl fur Ancote.—This splendid specimen of nava architecture {was launched — yesterday {from the yard of Messrs. Westervelt & Mackay, of this city, whose reputation as ship-builders is already fully sustained in the performance of the Prince Albert, Waterloo, Prince de Joinville, and others. The Arcole is designed as one of Boyd & Hincken and Chamberlain & Phelps’ efficient line of Marseilles packets, to be commanded by Capt. N. W. Eve- leigh. Her measurement is 700 tons burthen, and wil carry 1700 bales of cotton—30 feet beam, 20 feet deep, 140 feet deck. The forecastle is on deck, as also the cabin, which will be furnished in the most elegant and costly manner possible, with state rooms tor 28 passengers, each containing a sofa, and all the recent improvements for the comfort and conveni- ence of passengers. The berths are against the innel bulkhead, and by means of side lights each room is aired from without, at the pleasure of the occupant ; by this errangement the light is not liable to be | echpsed by those walking the deck, as in the ogdi- nary mode of lighting the rooms by means o} dead-light above. She is of the most exquisite form we have ever seen, surpassing even those which were considered perfection itself fail length figure of Napoleon, bearing in his hand the French standard, which is intended to represent his passage over the bridge of Arcole, celebrated as the scene of a battle between the Freneh and Aus. rans, on the 15th of November, 1796.

The new constitution is undoubtedly adopted by a large majority. In the Chird Congressional district, Harmanson, the demo- cratic candidate, is probably elected. Ponty Bovine. Three more jurors, making eight fall, were yesterday procured for the trial of this woman, | two and di: ay On her head is @ | Srveutar Liset Casr.—Mr. Webb, of the Courie” nd Enquirer, has announced his intention of insti- tuting legal proceedings egainst Greeley, of the | Tribune, tor libel, in charging him with bribery in ' the memorable case of the United States Bank. This will be a very curious case, indeed, involving almost as much interest as Mackenzie’s brochure. k- , Im this pie, also, we mean to have a very large fin- ger, as we will probably be one of the principal wit | hesses in the case, for we were connected with the Courier and Enquirer during the period in which these transactions took place, and very intimately, too, as editor and confrere with Mr. Webb. The history of these transactions has never yet been tully given, but we mean to set to work ina day or lose alk that we know about it. No doubt the United States Bank, through Nicholas Biddle, loaned money to the Courier ang Enquirer, but we doubt, if there was any bribery in the case, whether Mr. Webb should be justly charged with such an offence. To eur knowledge, M. M. Noah had much more to do with some of those doubtful transactions than Webb. A: all events, we are dis- posed to think that if any bribery were perpetrated atall, it was the types, amd not the persons in the Jourier establishment, that formed the subject of the operation. However, we shall investigate the whole affair in a few days. Lazor Losr.—Corcoran & Riggs, highly respecta- ble bankers at Washington, are taking the trouble of writing notes to a miserable and obscure print in “this city called the News, in order to set themselves right in regard to the transactions in Wall street. This is entirely labor lost, as itis a matter of very little consequence what the News, or any one connected with it, publishes respecting bankers or brokers,with the exception of a very smail elique,who have a deep interest in the stated preaching of the gospel at Sandy Hill and other places. No one reads the News or pays the slightest attention to its statements. A few obscure brok who live in dingy cellars in Wall street, may use its columus to run up or run down some particular stocks, so that out of “the difference” they may purchase a dinner or a pair of breeches; but that is the amount of its influence in this region. A more weak, ridiculous, and wishy- washy concern than the News, either as a paper or an organ, was never started by the Democrats in this city. Even Slamm, Bang & Co., with all their flammery and fury, are infinitely more influential, and are rapidly taking the lead as the organ of the Democracy here. Theatricai: Park Tueatne.—Last evening Mad. Augusta com- pleted her engagement in this city. A very respectable audience assembled. Her performances commenced with a merely tolerable vaudeville, in one act, written by Thomas Haynes Bayley, called the “ Spitalfields Wea- ver.” After which the second act of the witching ballet of “Nathalie,” in which Mad. Augusta played the Swiss maid most charmingly, was peformed. She then danced the wild, yet beautiful, “La Rondeja,” and the evening closed with the first act of “La Bayadere,” of Mad. Augusta’s performance, in which, we have spoken at length. Mad. Augustata will create a great sensation wherever she goes. She is, if possible, more charming and beautiful than when in this country before. There ismuch anxiety among the managers over the country as to who shall make with her the first engagement, and whoever succeeds will undoubtedly reap a golden har- vest. On Monday, Donizetti’s grand opera of “ Lucy of Lam- mermoor,” in which the Delcy troupe appear, will be performed. This opera is to be produced in beautiful style with new scenery, &c. It is said to contain some of Donnizetti’s best musical compositions. There wall, without doubt, be a crowded house at the Park on Mon- day night. : Bowrny Tuxatne—A very respectable audieace fill- ed the walls of this elegant and popular place of amuse” ment last night The “Mysteries of Paris,” in which Mr. Scott performed the part of the “Chourineur;” the “Magic Fountain,” and other entertainments, were pre- sented, and the evening’s performance passed off to the delight and satisfaction of the visitors. To-morrow night has been set apart for the benefit of Mr. J. M. Trimble architect and builder of the theatre. No man has stronger claims on the public for patronage, and we hope he willhave abumper. An address, written for the oc" casion, will be spoken by Mrs. Phillips, after which Shakspeare’s tragedy of “King Lear’ will be enacted: Mr. Mitchell, manager of the Olympic, has also volun- teered his services, and plays “Jem Baggs” in the come- ay of the “Wandering Minstrels.” Mr. Trimble isa really deserving man and merits a generous support trom the New York public. Hear Acexanpen.—This man of magic still continues to draw the most crowded and fashionable audiences at Nidlo’s. A majority of his companies are ladies, who are all highly delighted, both with Alexander and his wonderful experiments. If he plays such tricks with their hearts as he does with their eyes, we pity the poor creatures, At the s itation of some of the most fashion- able families in the city, who have not yet seen him, he has consented to postpone his other engagements and re- here another week. By reference to our adver- tising columns, a communication, from the treasurer of the Ladies’ Half Orphan Asylum, will be found acknow- ledging the receipt of $150, from Herr Alexander. This is more creditable to Alexander, that it was given with- out any request or previous parade. Avwamma.—Dr. Valentine and the Anglesea singers are still delighting the fashionable audiences, who night- ly flock to this fine place of amusement. Theatricals still flourish in this country, as they have not flourished in years, if ever, before. The general prosperity which pervades all classes of the community is the cause of this. ‘The Keans have just concluded a most successful on- agement in this city. ‘They have now left for Boston, where they commence an engagement of three weeks, on Monday evening next. They will then return to this city, and after playing here a short time, will proceed to the South, Leopold De Meyer, the lion-pianist of the age, has commenced giving concerts at the Tabernacle in this city. He gave one last evening, which was thronged bythe beauty and fashion. He goes to Boston next week Mr. Templeton has been giving a series of most suc- cessful concerts in Boston. He has now left there, and after giving concerts in some of the smaller cities, will return to this city and commence aseries of his musical entertainments at the Tabernacle, on Monday, Novem* her 24th Mad. Augusta, the distinguished danseuse, has been highly successful at the Park Theatre of this city. She leaver here for Philadelphia on Monday. The Delcy troupe are to appear at the Park on Mon- day next, inthe new opera of the “ Bride of Lammer- muir.” Ole Bull gave his farewell concert in Philadelphia on Thursday evening last, and will probably arrive in thi city to-day. His friends are determined that he give us another concert before he leaves the country. The Seguins are still in Philadelphia. Mrs. Mowatt and Mr. Crisp have just concluded a highly ruccessful engagement in Boston, whore Mowatt’s new comedy of “' Fashion” has been played. nest ov One Buus 1x Baur cumstances attending the re the Philadelphia Baltimore, according to 01 papers, are these :—A contract was made by an agent of Ole Bull, with Mr. Wm. E. Burton, of thia city, for Ole Bull to ph four nights at the Arch et Theatre. Mr. Burton agreed upon his part to furnish a full and competent orchestra to accompany Ole Bull. Ole Bull came to this city trom Boston to fulfil the e jement, Lringing with him Sig. La Manna to conduct the orches- tra. Upon his arrival he found Mr. Burton could not pro- | cure the orchestra, (they being otherwise engaged,) and | Wished him to play with a piano accompaniament, which he refused todo. He thereby was at considerable ex- pense in coming to this city fully prepared to {uifil the contract. Thus the matter stood fer more than a year, until afew days ago, in Baltimore, Mr. Burton had him arrested justias he was about leaving his hotel for the | purpose of performiug at his concert.

Ratroap Ikon ror Micnican.—There are four invoices of railroad iron which have been shipped from this port during the past week for Michigan. ‘The purchase has been completed of iron and spike for lay. ing the track of the Central road to Kalamazoo, and the ‘Tecumseh branch of the southern road to the village of ‘Tecumseh, and the entire lot is now afloat and will reach its destination within two woeks.— Buffalo Adv, Nov. 13 Kugcrro Magnetic TeLecrara.—An application will be made to the Provincial Parliament, for an act to incorporate a company to establish a telegraph communication between Queenston and Hamilton, to be continued to Toronto, and with power to extend it to uebec, and to Windsor, on the Detroit River.—Hamil- to Gazette.

Presuming it contained as usual bags for Philadelphia and Washington and the mail matter for Baltimore, | have written to those offic I have also communicated with the department at Washington. Respectfully yours, ROBT. H. MORRIS, The mail here spoken of was taken to New York in the Knickerbocker steamboat. It was not in charge of @ mail agent, no such officer being appointed, except for the ‘mails carried in the five o'clock boat, which lands at all the river post offices.— It was not missed till near noon of the 12th. We are in- formed by the Pos: Master here, that the person whose duty it is co bring the mails to the New York Post Office, states that he found the mail bags lying onthe deck of the boat, the officer in whose room they were usually placed for safeguard, having retired to his berth ‘and left them on the deck, instead of retain ing them in his room, and delivering them to the post office porter when the boat arrived. ‘The “pouch” spoken of in Mr. Morris’ letter was not among them.— ‘The boat reached New York at 4 o’clock in the morn- ing. The mail must have been taken off inthe interval between the landing and the arrival of the porter from the office. How uccurate this statement may turn out to be, we cannot tell, but as it st it throws the re- sponsibility for this affair upon the management at the other end ofthe route, The mail was exceedingly valuable. The Commer- cial Bank had enclosed in ‘it drafts to the amount of $70,000, the State Bank $20,000—| These were in all instances, ble to order, and a forged endo before they be made available to the robbers No money, as far as yet ascertained, was lost. ‘Tho information of the robbery came here so late, as torender unavailing all efforts for the recovery of the loss, or the detection of its authors. These efforts are, however, pushed rigorously, and we trust successfully, by Postmaster Morris, in New York. Y n suggests that possibly the mail may have nm South—by mistake.

Hap- pily there are but few such in this country. But if you know of such anone, send him a goose, Don’t let him know who it came from ; and he and his wife and chil- dren will eat, with pleasure and merriment, while they bless the unknown giver.

New York—Paine & Burgess.—This elegant work has been laying on our table several days unnoticed from the fact that we did not know exaetly what to say about it. It was entitled to more than acommon notce, for it is no common book, and an elaborate criticism, such as the work deserves, we had not space to give. [t is a curious and extraordinary book, both as regards its literary merit and the material of which it is composed. {tis written with spirit and betrays a versatile and comprehensive mind | The most in- teresting portion perhaps consists of an autobiogra- phy of our gifted fellow countrymen, Hiram Pow- ers, whose statute of the Greek Slave created suel a deep sensation in England a few months ago. It describes the various trials he struggled through in his chequered life, and many amusing and farci- ful incidents, till you come to his artistic lite, when the scene changes, and you behold, instead of the | gay smile and light heart of the boy, the despondent, bitter feelings of the man of genius, wrestling with | adversity and struggling to peaulps fame with star- | vation stalking o’er his hearth-stone. He makes effort after effort to reach Italy, and after repeated failures, at length succeeds. Every thing there seems | ‘ yet more desolate to him than the land he had left, butwith conscious power and a braveAmerican heart he goes to work. Cloud atter cloud fleeted away— fame seemed to have selected him for her own, for he dallied not with her gilts. ‘The praise of “ Thor- valsden” which pronounced him the greatest sculp- tor since the days of Michael Angelo, only nerved him to more daring feats. He finished his “ Greek Slave,” which is pennounged by connoisseurs the chef d'euvre of all modern art. Mr, Lester, in speaking of the “Slave” and the “ Eve,” says:— “ All who gaze upon them seem to go away with that beautitul emotion which long lingers around one, like some ideal form that sometimes, in the calm sleep of an early spring morning, flits over the fancy, but cannot be forgotten. It wakes usa—we quiet ourselves and try to sleep, and bring back the vision . + * * * Un like other female statues | ha en, they combine all that is beautiful in the ideal that glows in the fancy, and all that is cheerful and home-like in the fair beings who cluster around our own firesides, and live in our hearts.” Through all the changing scenes of Power's life, Mr. Lester in his Conversations” carries the rea- der. He says, ‘* Powers would talk about the buck- eyes of Ohio,the hunters and squatters of the West, and the dry, droll Yankees ; and [| would make him talk about the Michael Angelos, the Raphaels, and the Thorvalsdens ; and so we brought these great masters into Strange company, for curiosity and hu- mor, as well as poverty, have something to do in making men acquainted with strange bed-fellows.” It will be seen by this extract, that Powers was unwilling to talk about himself, and averse to hav- ing an account of his life published; but when Mr. Lester had written it, and stated his reasons for pub- lishing it, the Sculptor’s scruples gave way, and it was with his full consent it was presented to the public. 2 This volume also contains an elaborate and ably written article on our present miserable Con- sular system, which has been the jest of foreign powers. Take it all in all, this is a curious book, which everybody should read. We look upon Mr. Lester as one of the most remarkable men of the day—with a highly wrought and protound mind, a brilliant imagination, he 1s a perfect master of the human heart, and an ardent admirer of his country and her free institutions. Te is destined to attain a high position, and deserves the thanks of his coun- try as well those of literary men. Wee shall look for the concluding volume with no ordinary interest.— The publishers also deserve the thanks of the reader for the beautiful style in which they have issued the volume.

On Friday night, at a late hour, a man whose uame we have not ascertained, was detected by one of the city watchmen in the commission of an act which was deemed to be contra bonos mores, and, for the purpose of avoiding an arrest, bolted towards the river. Being closely pursued by the vigilant guardian of the night, he leapt the string piece of the dock at the foot of ‘Bridge street, into a Phen full tide, and would inevitably have been drown- ed had he not been rescued by some persons who were brought thither by the alarm rap ofthe watchman. The half suffocated and thoroughly well soaked fugitive was taken to “head quarters,” and, after undergoing a searching examination as to his ‘alleged wrong doing, was permitted—in pity for his suffvriags—to depart in peace. Last night another individual was brought to the watch house charged with some slight breach of the harged, on parole, by some of the nected with the departn.ent.

Singular Slave Case—Eacitement Among the Abelitionists Funny if True. Our peaceful village was this day thrown intoa state of unusual excitement, by the following singular cir- On the fifteenth day ef October last, three fugitive slaves, named George Washington, Jane M. Clay, and Elizabeth Jackson, presented themselves at the door of one of our warm-hearted abolitionists of New York Mills, and supplicated assistance. Their story was briefly told—they represeuted themselves as runaway slaves from the State of Kentucky, and from the planta- tion of Hon. Henry Clay. Miss Jane said that she was the daughter of Henry Clay, and Miss Jackson represen- ted herself as the daughter of Gon. Andrew Jackson, who sold her mother and herself to Henry Clay some twenty yearsago. Washington was formerly the slave of ¢ of the Washington family, as appeared by bis own story and his name. They were almost entirely destitute of clothing, and they appeared nearly famished for the want of food. ‘Their miserable appearance and Merion story so moved the hearts of the kind people of the above mentionad village, who are nearly all abolitionists of the bluest kind, that they callod.a small quiet meeting,had the poor slaves comzortably lodged, and then proceeded to col- lect the necessary means for their safe and comfortable journey to Canada, whither the runaways said they were bound, In the course of a day or two, these zealous had collected nearly ten dollars in hard c: | tweon twenty and thirty dollars in the sha| vests, pantsand shoes for the poor male; bonnets, skirts, shawls, mantles, &c., for the female sufferers by Southern’ tyranny. But the story of the slaves had not all been told. Not yet had Southern cruelty been fully displayed to the weeping eyes and indignant hearts of the Nort ern liberators.

So sweetly did they sleep indeed, that their clothes’ lines were robbed a few evenings since of many more articles of clothing than they had given to the slaves. Information was given of the robbe- ry to our deputy sheriff, Geo. Balis, Esq., who, upon hearing the circumstanc: id having observed, some- time previous, these wandering slaves, he immediately suspected them as the thieves—so be proceeded to the hole or residence of the darkies, which is near the Con- gregational Church at Whitesboro’ about one a half miles distant from the village of New York Mills. Here was discovered a rich mine of all kinds of slaves— slaves to rum—slaves to gambling and licentiousn but no slaves belonging to Henry Clay or Andrew Jack- son, although Miss Jane and Miss Elizabeth were found in the further Seoul cna hole, clothed in the pur- ple and fine linen which had been Kindly given them by the aforesaid Anties.

No attempt was made to show that the brands spoken of above bore any resemblance to the haudwriting of Henry Clay or Andrew Jackson. This defect in the testimony brother Moore was not prepared to supply. He had evidently mistaken the canse of ac- tion. ‘The charge should have been “for scattering brands made by fire, or frebrands, among the abolition- ists of New York mills to their great damage,” &.

Oue was raised in this town, one in Salina, and one in Jefferson co Alter the anti-slavery people had made themselves suiliciently agreeable, the darkies, on motion of their ‘ counsel, were discharged by the court, by authority of { the rule of law found in 14 Wendell, which declares that ‘an indictment will not lie where gifts or goods obtained under false pretences are merely charitablo gifts.
