NEW YORK HERALD. ¢ News from Europe. ‘The steam ship Britannia, now due, is in her six- teenth day. This steamer was sixteen and a half days in making the passage at this time last year. The Age of Revolutions. Weare certainly in the commencement of an age that will be productive of great revolutions in society and governments. {n this country, we per- ceive on all hands the omens of a mighty revolution in the public sentiment of the nation and the con- struction of parties, growing out of the position as- sumed by the administration on the Oregon ques- tion. After a great deal of backing and filling, and a variety of responses, sometimes good-natured and sometimes tart, the government organ at Washing- (on gives us some unequivocal views on the Oregon question, and seems to be determined in the opinion that Mr. Polk, in his forthcoming message and in his new administration, will not only claim the whole of the territory in dispute beyond the Rocky Moun- tains, but will insist on the possession of the whole, and the extension over it of the laws and institu- tions of the United States. We give in our paper to-day, some further views from the Washington Union on this subject—more definite, positive, and explicit, than anything we have heretofore published, taken from the same quarter. {tis true, on this subject, the organ has been some- thing very like the splendid Erard piano, played up- on by that wonderful musician, Leopeld De Meyer. After the execution of that brilliant composition, called the “* Marche Marocaine,” or even that mest exquisite melody, the ‘ Danse du Serail,” we have generally found that even this fine-toned instrument requires the touch of the tuner, and has to be twisted up again to the proper tone, for another brilliant piece of execution. So itis with the organ at Washing- ton on the Oregon question. The first piece of composition on the Oregon question, was some- thing like the ** Marche Marocaine”—so strong and so powerful, and so brilliant, that it startled the nerves of the whole country; but the instrument got ummediately out of tune, by the force of the musi- cian who struck the keys, and it was only after se- veral days’ backing and filling, and turning and twisting its keys, that it again got right and in con- dition fitting to “discourse most eloquent music.” It bas been tuned a second time, and we are happy to observe that the government organ now comes‘up to the proper pitch, and can play the “* Marche Maro- caine” over again, with greater power and brilliancy than ever. Thus it will be seen, from the article we have given to-day at length, that the position of the administra- on is now certain on the Oregon question, and that he highest, and broadest, and proudest, and noblest ground—uncompremising ground, will be taken on that point. Mr. Polk, it seems, will not assume n the ground that we have now reason to s taken by Mr. Calhoun in his protocols spondence with Mr. Pakenham, before the former left the office of the Secretary of State. Our correspondence discloses to us that Mr. Cal- houn proposed to divide the territory at the fifty- second degree of latitude, and to embrace the island of Vaneeuver, so as to give us all the advantages of harbors. This was negatived by Mr. Pakenham; but this position of Mr. Calhoun has been still fur- ther negatived by the administration, who, it now upon the whole of the territory. be itso. The whole democracy of the west and of the east, on this side of the mountains as well, with the exception of the ‘commercial classes, and some of the cotton planters of the south, in- cluding afew stock-jobbers in the Atlantic cities, are in favor of this manly, American ground. The movement will commence in Congress, and the Oregon question will take the lead of all other to- pies of the day. It will be the opening of a new era, and the commencement of a new revolution in the state of society and the distribution of power nrongst the nations of the earth. It will also have a domestic influence in this country on the construc- tion and re-construction of parties. There can be no doubt that the assumption of a high and strong ground on this question, will decompose the present fragments of the de- mocratic party at Washington, and through- out the country—not unite them, as is supposed by many. Butwhile it decomposes the present relations of the democratic party, it will create, out of the disjointed fragments, another—a bol- der—a more energetic—a mightier party, for fu- ture operations. In this movement, it is easy to perceive that South Carolina and its politi- cians, unless they are very wary, will be driven off the gear, and Jeft behind the great train that is now running over the valley of the West, through the gap of the Recky Mountains, down to the Paci- fie Ocean. Another result may also be anticipated, and is at least within the reach of probability. Mr. Polk is no candidate for the Presidency a second time. He was not a candidate for the Presidency a first time, yethe consented to run. He was nominated in the chapter of accidents, without his knowledge or con- sent; but he felt himself constrained to accept the office. A similar contingency may arise in less than two years, and all the leaders of cliques south «nd west, and north and east, may be confused a second time, in consequence of the great excite- mentthat will grow out of the movements of the administration on the Oregon question, and the position in whieh it will place this country in the face of England and of all Europe. We wait with extreme impatience the opening of Congress, and the commencement of the great game of the future, to which the eyes of the republic, and of the civili ed world, are now directed with such intense anxi. ety. ‘Teve@RaPHic COMMUNICATION WITH WASHING- ron.—We understand that arrangements are making for the transmission to this city of daily reports of Congress, by the Magnetic Telegraph. It is in con- templation to have an abstract of all the proceed- ings sent over this lightning line. There was an \ntormal meeting, last evening, of the editors of the press of this city relative to these arrangements. it seems, however, that, for the present, this in- telligence will first have to be transmitted by tele- graph to Baltimore, thence conveyed by mail to Philadelphia, and by lightning again to this city. In this way we shall be enabled to publish ail the proceedings of Congress up to the hour of adjourn- ment; this afternoon, for instance, in to-morrow morn- ing’s Herald, But inabout ix Weeks the line through to Washington will be finished, when we shail have an unbroken and uninterrupted communication with Washington—every instant, if need be. Instead of daily mail,” as itis now called, we shall then have an “instant mail.”” The lips that utter a fact will searcely cease moving in Washington before we have the fact in this city. All this, however, is '» cost a good deal of money; dollars and facts go together—and the quicker the news comes the more it will cost. It is the intention of the managers of these light- ning lines to open a telegraphic communication between Boston and the Capitol, a distance of nearly five hundred miles, on the first of next January. Washington intelligence will then be published in Boston as soon as in this city Wonk ror Conerrss.—Florida has begun her ca- 4s 4 State, in a manner that will somewhat in- » with her desire, as expressed on the State ns, viz: “Letus alone.” It appears that the seat ©! the first member she sends to Congress is to be contested, Cabell, whig, has been declared elect- ed by a majority of 51; whereas, if all the returns ure recognised, Brockenborough, democrat, is the fortunate man, But it is not a bad idea, fora young crowing State, on her start tor greatness, to re. & DA Of Linpulse of some shape from Congrega, Crusis or mag Tarirr Quesrion.—According to | the aspect of events now transpiring in the country, this great question will, in all probability, be brought to a crisis in the next Congress, and will be settled decisively, on general ground», such as will prove satisfactory to al! moderute persons, though not precisely meeting the views of the ultras of the north or south. The late Tarif} Convention, which was held at Hollidaysburg, with the view of giving concentra- tion and force to the old and antiquated notions for- merly held on this topic, has proved, in every res- pect, a complete abortion. A few busy persons, of all parties, were present; but the number was few and their influence small, so that after some mean and insignificant resolutions had been passed, they dispersed, without being able to produce any effect upon the public mind. If we look to the south, we shall find the same violent efforts to have been made in that quarter also, which have had the same decided failure. The Memphis Convention, now in session, may not improbably give expres- sion to some general opinion on this subject; but we are inclined to believe it will rather be engaged on the great and important subjects which relate to the South and West, than upon any abstract ques- tions concerning the tariff. In fact, the anti-tariff sentiment exists only in South Carolina, while the ultra tariff feeling only finds place in one or two presses in the North. Since the great excitement in the South, which led to nullification, a great change has taken place throughout the whole country. The manufacturing spirit has spread throug! all the Union, and the con- sumption of cotton by American manufacturers, has augmented from a few score of bales only, to nearly a fourth of the entire cotton erop of the South. This has produced a corresponding change in the epinion of the people, and consequently in the opinions of politicians. Manufacturing establishments have been extended to Virginia, North Carolina, and other places of the South, from all which such a change has been produced as to intuse more rea- son, moderation and good sense ito the tariff question, than has been the case for twenty-five years past. We expect Congress to modify the present tariff to some extent; but not sufficient to uproot the Al- . leghanies and dry up the Hudson river. Natusa.ization.—There is a great deal of con- troversy in these days, in the whig papers, relative to naturalizatioa—emigrants—and the best mode of treating foreigners arriving in this country with the design of making it their permanent abode. The Wall street journals, such as the Courier, Journal of Commerce and Express, are very hostile to the pre- sent naturalization laws ; and some of them desire their abolition; others the extension so as to include a atill longer period of residence, twenty-one years. the Tribune and Thurlow Weed seem to be, on the other hand, desirous to abolish these laws entire- ly, and adopt in their stead a rule recognizing every decent native of any other country who may bave some intelligence, as a voter one year after his arri- val, without any other formality. We are disposed to think that Thurlow Weed and his coadjutors are nearest the mark on the sub- ject. The existence of any restriction like the na- turalization laws, is not in consonance with the ge- neral principles on which this Republic and its in- stitutions have been founded. When the first set- tlers landed in New England and New York, they all exercised, from the moment of their arrival, all the social and political privileges of the community which then existed. The idea of excluding any one member of a particular community from the en- joyment of its privileges—the subjecting of him to civil pains and disabilities, because he happened to have been born beyonda certain mountain, or on the other side of a certain sea, while he breathed the same atmosphere, and enjoyed the same light of heaven, seems to be an absurdity in all its natural features. But a controversy on this subject, in the news- papers, although it may lead to some talk in Con- gress, will never have any eficct on the present condition of the naturalization laws. We expect they will remain as they are jor many years to come; and that if any change takes place, it will be « removal of the restriction, and not an increased stringency of their te Very Late From Sour America.—The barque Meteor, Capt. Jenny, from Rie de Janeiro, with advices to the 6th ult., arrived last evening. The Emperor and Empress of Brazil were to sail on the 6th for Rio Grande, in the Brazilian frigate Constitution, attended by the U. S. frigate Raritan and a small Brazilian fleet. The U. S. sloop-of-war Cyane arrived at Rio on the 5th, from Norfolk. All well. The Meteor has placed us in possession of intelli- gence from Buenos Ayres to the 15th, and from Montevideo te the 14th of September. It appears that the French and English squadrons were blockading Buenos Ayres, and were determi- ned to bring Rosas to close quarters. Vessels bound thither were compelled to make Montevideo their | port till hostilities had ceased. There is no news of interest trom Bahia or Per- nambuco. City Rerorm.—We are earnest in our wish to see some movement made in favor of city reform, and the adoption ot some general measures looking towards an entire change in the administration of the city government, at the approaching spring election. There can be no doubt the materials ex- ist in great abundance, which, it properly managed, may lead to this desirable change. The taxes are so enormous, that the sensibilities of every tax- paying citizen have been most keenly aroused; for when you touch a man’s pocket, you touch him in the quick. In addition to all, the streets are in an abominable condition—dirty—miserably paved— and badly regulated. In negligence and incapacity, the present Corporation appears to exceed any that , has preceeded it. No time or attention is directed to the real interests of the city, aside from party consideratioss We must, it is clear, have a new party, ii we expect a better order of things. Let the work, then, be begun at once, and let us have a revolution in the city election next April, as it is probable there will be a revolution growing out of the State Convention, and also in the Union gen- erally, growing out of Mr. Polk’s position on the Oregon question SNESS OF THE Post Orrice DrranTMeEnr. ~The loss ot the mail bag has exhibited the grossest negligence on the part of the post office officials in this city. Neverhas such a circumstance before occurred, and it could have occurred only through carelessness. We would recommend to the Post- , Master General to look to this matter. It has de- | stroyed ina great degree the confidence of the peo" ple inthe Post Office arrangements. If one valua- ble bag could thus be lost, so may dozens hereafter.

Previous to the rising of the curtain, Mr. Gardner came forward and stated that Mr. Brough had been taken with a se cold and was very hoarse. Mr. B., however, gotthrough very well. Of the opera and performers we have already spoken, Nothing new was elicited last evening. This evening the drama of “Lucille,” and the new comedy of the ‘Sheriff of the County,” will be per- formed.

Burton.—We are requested to state that the account given in a Saturday’s paper, of the dispute between the above persons, did not contain all the facts of the case. ‘ Mr. Burton did provide a com- petent orchestra for Mr. Bull’s performances, and rec ed instructions to copy the programme of ‘a projected concert in New York, for publication in Philadelphia ; but the concert in New York did not bral apeaet and from the neglect of Mr. Bull,or his agent, Mr. Burton was Jeft without information of their intentions for several days. The concert at the Arch street Theatre could not take place on the evening expected, as no announce- ment had been, or could have been, made to the public, and several of the musicians engaged themselves to the Philharmonic Society for that evening. Mr. Bull's arrival in Philadelphia was unexpected by Mr. Burton, who acquainted him with the facts of the case, but did not require him to give his concert with the piano accompaniment. It was thon settled that the first concert should take ited during the ensuing week. At the de- sire of Mr. Bull’s agent, Mr. Burton advanced some money, to be repaid from the proceeds of the first con- Cert, but Mr. Bull quitted the city, and finally gave his concertsalsewhore. The money has never been repaid, nor has Mr. Bull in any way noticed Mr. Burton’s appli- cation for fulfilment of the contract.

Gould John McGuire (boys) were arrested last mght by Capt. Fitzgerald of the 4th District, and when brougiit betore the Chief of Police confessed to the chief and two policemen, named Hemary and Watson, the fact of com- mitting several burglaries, and to whom they had dis- posed of the property—consequently, by direction of the chief, the boy's took the officers to the premises of William ‘King, a barber, keeping his shop ui Dun- ning’s Hotel, in Courtlandt stres 10 to his residence, 151 Varick et. On King" were found thir- ty-two silver Lepi tity of cutlery, such as pen-kniv ., some remnants of cloth, handkerchiefs, suspenders, &c., which proved to be the property, of John Newbold, No. 55 John street, and lessrs. St. John, Tousey & Co., 81 Broadway, whose premises were burglariously entered some few nights ago. The officers also arrested Samuel Jackson, the journeyman of King, and upon searching higperson they found several stolen articles, forming a partof these bur- glaries. The Chief, Justice Osborn, and thejofficers, de- et od credit for the skilful manner in which they have done up this business in securing the receivers as well as the thieves, and finding the property. Since the above was'written, we have ser fonuned that officers Huthwaite and Norris have, in addition to the above ar- ticles, recovered a quantity of tailor’s sewing silk, also some very valuable silk handkerchiefs A Funny Scene in the Police Office —Joseph Gulick, the militia fine collector, was followed in by a large crowd of spectators, he having in custody a young man by the name of Samuel Madden, who had been fined $5 for his utter dislike for military tactics, and placed in the hands of that industrious individual for collection. Mr. Madden objected strongly to see the inside ef Eldridge street jail—consequently, he drew from his pocket a piece of paper written thereon by the general, or by his order, remitting the said fine. Mr. Gulick took the pa- per to read, and very deliberately put it into his pocket, when the brother of the young man stepped ‘upand de- manded the return of that important document in very strong terms, which ultimately finished in all parties coming to the Police Offic . however, garo back the paper before arriving at the Poli magis. trate having no jurisdiction, the case was dismissed.~ Mr. Gulick still detained the young man for his expens- es,,whereupon, the brother of the prisoner, offered to pay Gulick the eighteen shillings which he claimed; this ulick would not consent to receive, stating that he must see some General or President of the Court before he could let his phones go—therefore, upon looking for his man to leave the office, \lo, he could not be found, he having slipped out of the office the back way into Franklin street, to the great amusement of all pre- sent, which raised quite a laugh. But not so on the poor militia man, who looked rather flat at losing his priso- ner, being dished out of his fees. The prisoner was last seen making tracks upon the railroad,some where in the vicinity of Union Square, with the tail of hie coat straight out behind. Burglary —The store of Mr. F. Gurnee, hardware merchant, No. 412 West street, was burglariously en- tered last , and robbed of a large amount of proper- consisting of valuable table cutlery, pen knives, &c. shutter was forced open by breaking off the pin: which pass through the eyes of the bolts on the inside. No arrest made. Larcenies.—Phoebe Johnson was arrested for stealing money;from the work-boxfof Louisa Waterman—com- mitted” Luke Rooney was charged with stealing money from J. Burdge--locked up.

Consequently it was knocked down to him for $10, when he handed up the money and they handed him the watch, but instead of being gold it was nothing butasha’by looking copper ereupon he demanded his money back again, ing he would ge to the Police One of the “ Pe- tepped up to him and said, “ Here, V’ll go with you to the police,” #o off they started.

Sheep Stealing John Carny by Assistant Captain Buck, ofthe Third District, on the complaint of Daniel A. Vreeland, of New Jersey, It appears that John met Mr. Vreeland at the foot of Mur- | ray street, and stated that his father had some sheep for sale, pointing toa pen on the dock, with about twenty- five sheep in it. Upon a bargain being made, Mr. Vree- land agreed to take eight at a dollar a head, whereupon John said it waa rather low, but nevertheless he should have them. Mr Vreeland then paid him eight dollars in bills, when John said he must go to tha store aud aes if the bilis were good. Vreelan, mistrusting something was wrong, begun to inquire respecting the sheep,when a his astonishment, he found the real ower to be Mr. 3 of Dutchess county, Finding that he was done, ny rocured the services of that vigilant officer, Cayt. Buck, who, after two or three hours search, found th rascal in a tum hole, who had just exchanged Jackets with his“ pall,” to prevent being known. Upon search- | ing him, only $3 of the money was recovered, He was taken to the police offi lly committed for trial.
