NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Tuesday, November 15, 1845+ oS Foreign News. ‘The Britannia is now in her fourteenth day. Her news will be particularly mteresting. Clty Reform—A Revolution Ahead. A variety of indications, presenting themselyes on all hands, force upon us the conviction that a move- ment is about to commence in this etty, which will produce consequences of the most important cha- racter, and intimately. affecting the prosperity of the metropolis and the interests of its inhabitants. We are inclined to think that a germ of revolution is now in the ground, that will break out ina short time in a wholsome agitation of the all-important subject of city reform, that will terminate in practi- cal results of the highest interest and value, next spring. A last, and let us hope successful effort, is about tobe begun for the attainment of that for which this community has been vainly struggling for years. There is not in the whole world, a city which possesses more abundantly the means, both natural and artificial, of attaining the blessings of good go- vernment, than does this great metropolis of the United States. And yet, in consequence of the cor- ruption of political parties—the want of united and common sense effort on the part of the intelligent and industrious citizens who really desire salutary and efficient government—probably ne city in the world has been so badly managed by the municipal authorities. This has been long acknowledged and deplored by the intelligent portion of the communi- ty, and repeated efforts have been made to effect a change for the better. But the struggle for reform has been powerless and inef- fective. The whig party has been tried, and found to be bad. The “natives” have been tried, and found to be still worse ; and now again the locofocos have been tried, and they are foun’ tobe worst of all. Never was the city of New York so badly governed as now. Look at the streets— they are more an abomination than ever—filthy, wretchedly paved, disgraceful to any e1vilized com- munity. The police is miserably inefficient, being altogether inadequate for such an immense city, and rapidly degenerating into the worst vices of the old corrupt system. Again, look at the omnibusses. Broadway is almost impassable by pedestrians at the crossings, in consequence of the miserable sys- tem, or rather the want of all system, under which the huge, lumbering omnibuses are managed.— ‘There is no regularity whatever in the management of these public conveyances, which are now amongs' the most disagreeable and dangerous nuisances which disgrace the city. But above all, the wastefuy expenditures of the public money, and the immense increase of taxation, cry aloud for reform, and ap peal to the pockets—the tenderest sensibilities of every tax-paying citizen. {tis utterly impossible for the great body of the sensible people of this city to accomplish any reform by the present party. We must have a new par- ty. We must have a city reform party—a city reform party, altogether disconnected with any political organization. This is what we have so long and so anxiously recommended. Now is the time to commence the movement. We have got through with the State election. The political parties have had their periodical conflict. Let the wise, and the intelligent, and the sensible men of all parties in this city—those who desire the welfare of New York, its progress and prosperity, and their own individual comfort and security, at once begin a reform movement, and carry it on with vigor and spirit till April. There is plenty of time to discuss, and agitate, and debate, and call public meetings, and excite public attention, so that the great body of the voters of this city, amounting to over sixty thousand, may come for- ward to the polls, and elect as municipal officers men of intelligence, of liberal and public-spirited views, and who will not sacrifice the interests of the city at the shrine of corrupt and corrupting party polities. We want a reduction of the public expenditures— we want reduction of taxes. The people of the city have been too long plundered. It is most iniquitous that the people of this metropolis should be heavily taxed for the purpose of supporting a particular poli- tical party. Down with this infamous system of supporting party hacks—and party presses—and party leaders, at the public expense. We have had too much of this. Every succeeding year the evil has been increasing. [tis very easy to put an end toit. Letthe honest and sensible citizens of all parties unite, and thework is done. We want also clean streets—we want innumerable municipal re- forms, all most important as connected with the comfort and accommodation, the security and health of every citizen. Let the new party be called the “City Reformers.” Let them be confined to that single question of city reform. Let all political objects be studiously avoided. If such a party, orga- nized on this simple and popular basis, be formed and let the great movement—which we have thus imperfectly sketched, but on which we shall here- after fully dilate—be conducted in the right spirit, and all the old parties will be swept off the field, and the city be at last blessed with a vigorous, upright, common sense, cheap and salutary government. Now is the time to begin the work. Who moves first ? Recovery or tHe Lost Mam Bac, anv THE WHOLE OF ITS VALUABLE ConTENTs.—Last evening, the lost mail from Albany of the 11th inst., was re- covered by the Captain of the Eleventh Ward Po- lice. It wastound by a poor German picker up of rags, and taken to No. 226 Willet street, whence it was brought to the Post Office with all its contents untouched. The ponch had been cut open—perhaps by the unconscious “ gatherer of unconsidered tri- fles”—but all was safe. It had evidently been drop- ped, by accident, from the wagon of the mail car- rier. The loss of this mail was the cause of great excitement to those expecting mail letters on that day, and they will be gratified to learn the recovery of the same. Our Retations with Mexico.—It would appear | that the former condition of our relations with Mexico is about to be resumed. The proposition of amicable negotiation came, it seems, from this country. It is not certain yet whether the Mexican factions will not prevent such a peaceful settlement from taking place FOREIGN Exrorts.—Every packet ship leaving this port tor Liverpool is filled with our agricultura products, and it is highly icteresting and gratifying to see the great and rapidly increasing variety of our shipments. The packet ship Fidelia sailed yester- day ‘or Liverpool with the following cargo:— Qurwann Canco or Sir Frogs vor Liverroo., 300 bbls iron ore p bales cotton 1050 boxes cheese 26 casks oi} 162 bbls lard ll hhds 38 crates onions 14 cases mdze Cotton appears to be a small item among this va- riety. In consequence of the quantity of flour, pro- visions, &¢.,offering for shipment, freights rule ver | high.

In this neighborhood we recognised the steamboats Traveller, Globe, Mohegan, Naragansett, and other smaller steamers,'laid up for win- ter quarters. Mr. W. H.

Mr. | Southard, of Calvary Church in this city, will probably receive the call to the third assistant rectorship of | ‘Trinity, on tho completion of the new church. Mr. | Southard is of the high church connection, and one of the youngest presbyters, in orders, in the diocesa, and is the son of the late lamented Se: r of New Jersey, whose name, Samuel L. Southard, is so distinguished in the po- litical history of this country for many years A Comica Deer Hunt.—Mr. Coles and two friends left this city the fore part of last week, for Long Island, | on a duck shooting exeursion, and while out ducking in their sail boat, on the Peconic Bay, near Riverhead,they | saw a man at some little distance, apparently eines with and striking with his oar some animal, which aj eared to them to bea deer. They accordingly put the helm up and made sail for the scene of action, when lo, to behold, it proyed as was anticipated, to be a e buck swimming handsomely, and going with the tide at aswinging pace, so much so that he had escaped from the man who had banged him over the head, and was | fastleaving him behind. Mr. Coles and his friends, who occupied the sail boat, forthwith slipped out their snall | duck shot and loaded up with buck. shot, all in anxious expectation of getting the first shot; and when within about twelve or fifteen yards, one of the party fired,and struck poor Mr. di lirectly behind the ear, which keeled Tim over on his side, to the great isement of except the man who was chasing him in the , for in the great excitement (as you may well | suppose upon such ap occasion) the sail boat came in collision with the man in the small boat; and then what a sight! Just imagine—the dead ducks floating, the man swimming and his gun sinking. However, while all this was going on, those in the sail boat were not idl One immediately seized hold of the buck by the horn,to pull him on board, when to ‘onishment, the man who was upset from the row boat,was clambering up on | the other side. Now the grand tug of war com: d —he claiming the deer, when those who had po: nm were determined not to deliver it up. It appears from | what we can learn that some Southsiders had started the buck and chased him some hours previous. The hounds wore close on his trail, consequeutly compelled him to take to the water; the hunters,however,shortly came uj the hounds having stopped at where the deer took to the | water. ‘They there learned the fate of their day’s sport, | Upon a meeting taking place one of the Southsiders stepped up and demanded the buck as their property, which the party in possession stoutly denied,going upon the principle of the old adage, that possession is nine points of the law. Therefore, finding all argument in vain to obtain the prize, they turned upon their heels, called in the dogs, and made tracks for the Squire, of whom | they procured a writ to hold tie parties to bail in the sum of for trespass;, namely for carrying off a deer | (which was shot by the New Yorkers) from the South | siders, claimed by;them Decause ho had been hunted | two or three hours previously. Surely this will be a | funny trial. How the matter will terminate time will | tell. Weare not aware of any law touching this parti- | cular point at present. But this we do know, that | where parties are huuting, der similar circumstances amongst sportsmen, it would | be delivered up to the sin pursuit, Long [sland hunters will look with some anxiety for a decision in this matter; it does, howev trike us, being more o' int of honor than a point of law. conclusion, we would state that the man who was upset | from the boat,and came very near being drowned,did not belong to the Southsiders, but worked entirely on his | own hook. Tue Omsisus Recurations.—We | aprons a few | days since, the corporation laws for the regulation of | omnibusses, not one of which any omnibus driver enter- | tains the least dea of observing. A few evenings since, | we saw a driver deliberately wheel around in Broad- way, for the purpose of racing at full speed with anoth- | er.
