ORK HERALD. = oe Noveraber 25, 1845, City meforr Once every year the people of this city assemble in their diflerent warde, for the pur- pose of placing in the various municipal offices men who shall regulate the affairs of our city. Year after year, since our incorporation, has this game been carried on; and year after year have difl- rerent parties and different individuals enacted and enforced, as they listed, the rules and regulations by which we were to be governed in city affairs, and our lives and health protected, and our happi- ness increased, {a former times, some little attention was paid to the wishes of the people, end those appointed to govern the city became but the exponents of the people’s desires. But of late years, since we have been split up into little parties and cliques, and since we have departed from the good,-honest days | of our fathers, our officers have altered with the | times, until now, about the last possible thing upon which they exercise their thinking faculties, is the legitimate object which they were chosen to carry out. In the strife of party every thing else is for- gotten, and the glory of success is considered an | emple equivalent for the manifold evils of a badly | regulated system of city government. We have tried all the existing parties, and whig- ism, nativism, and democracy have all failed in carrying out the legitimate objects for which they were elected. Probably, never in the annals of our city, have the municipal affairs been so badly regu- lated as during the existing administration. Look at the streets! Throughout last spring, when a fa- tal pestilence, generated without doubt by the filthy condition of the highways and byways of the city, was spreading to an alarming extent among all classes of society—even when the horrors of gene- ral infection were exhibited to the minds of the Corporation—it was a long time before they heeded the warning; and weeks after the commencement of the pestilence, the streets were piled up with mountains of mud; and through the hot and sul- try days of summer, the dust was suffered to accu- mulate in such quantities, that when a shower of rain came over, we were left again to wade our ways through the streets. And throughout the whole existence of the present Corporation, the streets have been in a worse condition than ever before. But not only in the preservation of cleanliness have the present Corporation failed. They establish- ed a new police system, and adorned the coat facings of eight hundred men with huge brass stars. These men, we were told, were to be knewn by the star, and stationed at all the corners, both night and day, ready to protect our citizens ata moment’s notice. This was a reform much needed ; but where are the “‘atars 7” Who ever sees them? During the day, are they found stationed through our streets? No. And at night, are they scattered abeut, vigilant and active to prevent burglaries, robberies and murder ? If they are, those who have taken the trouble to look for them must have been gifted with a singu- larly unfortunate vision. Since their organization, burglaries and all night crimes have been on thei erease, until the people have become utterly dis- gusted, not with the police system, which is a good one, butthe miserable manner in whith it is regu- lated. The omnibus nuisance is as bad asever. Every citizen who rides in one of these vehicles, is liable to be killed by “permission of the Corporation,” and “no blame could be aitached to” anybody. The laws for the regulation of the omnibusses are not en- forced, and our citizens are entirely at the mercy of the drivers. The lottery and poliey offices still continue to be open, for the robbery of the poor, whose hopes are excited by the prospect of wealth, and no notice is taken of 1 by the Corporation, although the business is now openly carried on in every street in the city. The people are now pretty well convinced that none of the old parties will act in this mater of city reform. In the government of a city, all party diffi- culties should be laid aside. They are of no use.— The primary and sole object of a municipal govern- ment should be properly to conduct our city affairs. All parties can and should now unite for the attain- ment of this “consummation devoutly to be wish- ed.” ‘Tue Late Cownipine in THE Unton OFFice at Wasuincton —Several newspapers, of late, in at- tempting to account for the cowhiding inflicted up- on Grey, (a correspondent and letter writer,) by Heiss, one of the Umon people, impute it tocertain statements said to have been made by the former in- dividaal, which appeared inthe New York Herald, reflecting upon the females of Mr. Ritchie’s family. This, however, has been contradicted by the victim of Heiss’s barbarity, and we feel bound to say that we can and do sustain his contradiction. During the short time that Grey was reporter and correse pondent for this journal, reference was made by him, only once, to the ladies of Mr. Ritchie’s fami- ly, and then in a manner highly complimentary to them. On one occasion, indeed, some mention was made by him of Mrs. Polk, the accomplished lady of the President, which, had we seen it in time, would have been excluded from our columns, as were afterwards other allusions, made with too great freedom, to other ladies, which we struck out from the manuscript; and Grey, finally, was dis- missed from our employ, for sundry impertinences personal to us. No excuse, therefore, has yet been offered, tor the conduct of Mr. Heiss, in this matter; and, in- deed, it was a specimen of brutality which admits of no apology, and which nothing can justify. Pro. bably he may have intended, by this exhibition of awless ferocity, to show his qualifications, and give strength to his claim as a candidate for the printing, at the coming Congress; and if so, no doubt it will have ite proper weight with a certain portion of members—in fact, it was the best specimen of bru tality we have heard of—and surpasses, in that line anything that ever Blair and Rives have exhibited. LavemaBie Instance or Inramy.—Our most amiable contemporary, the Fourier and Down-renter organ, has pronounced sentence upon the New York Herald, and declares it as his deliberate opinion that the recent express from Boston to this city, run by he Herald, and by means of which we were able to lay before our readers the news brought by the Bri- tannia, ahead of all the other journals of New York city, was one of the deepest acts of infamy ever per- petrated in the newspaper world, and a great crime in the New York Herald. No doubt it was so, in the estimation of all our ‘azy, lumbering, lubberly contemporaries, who neither will nor can run an express themselves, but who weep and gnash their teeth with rage at those who surpass them, Indeed, it is not only in New York, but in London and elsewhere, the energy and success of the Herald in outstripping so many con- petitors, has occasioned an outery against us, which the old world echoes, as it gathers the sound from ‘ve shores of the new world. They are grieved to see the Herald more successful and prosperous than they, with their puny vitality, can ever hope to be. nc grumblings are only laughable and contempti- ie. Tue Memrnis Convention.—This body met on the 12th inst., and on the 13th elected the Hon. John © Calhoun its Chairman. We have received the ‘roceedings of the firat three days of its se jon, whieh are te be found in another column. This Convention appears to be numerously attended by nany of (he prominent men from the West, South- Vest and South, and their proceedings will be of a ory interesting character, even if they do not re- sult ia much. The tacts elicited will be worth something. Suonr Passage. —The packet ship St. James, Oayt. Meyer, arrived early yesterday morning, in the quick passage of thirty days from London. Srarure ax &e.—A sort of disease, it would appear, has lat- terly grown up in the public mund, ig consequence of the inefficiency of the whole code of our jurisprudence to meet the contingencies of the times, and the abuses that exist throughout the entire framework of our local constitution, ranging through its various channels, from the pardoning power of the Executive, through our Court of Errors, Supreme Court, and other branches of the judicature, until it narrows useif down to some paltry abuse under our city government, whether ut the Tombs, police offices, or some of our ward courts. We have but too many evidences of. this con- fused state of things, latterly presenting themselves before the public eye, end calling forth the indig- nant condemnation of the great bulk of our citizens, who have a regard for pubtie morals, the peace and order of society. In our courts ot law, the force of a public trial has become so perfect a mockery of Justice, that the difficulty of procuring a jury to try acrimina), when the people bear in mind the fa- cility by which a solemn verdiet can be set aside, is becoming more manifest day by day. The recent anti-rent movement in our State—the farce thatis | now playing before our eyes in one of our local tribunals—the every day abuses that present them- selves in every department under the State and city governments, demand reformation on such a basis a3 should render our laws and constitutien such as they have been designed for—namely, a guaranty for the lives and liberties of the citizens, contain- ing just and salutary provisions for the punishment | of offenders, and of all high crimes and misde- meanors. By the bailing system, how many crumi- nals have escaped the penalty which the statute law attaches to their crimes? The abuse of the writ of habeas corpus also—then the power of appeal from court to court—until some technicality is fished up by a stupid practitioner at the bar, by which the solemn verdict of twelve men upon their oaths, is set aside. These matters, have all operated upon the ;xblic mind to such an extent as to render trial by jury a perfect farce. The jury system in itself, is also quite detective. Jurors will not willingly serve without pay—and where men lose their time, and labor thus in the public service without some remuneration, public justice cannot be meted out from the jury box with that stern impartiality which should mark the so- lemn decision of twelve men upon their oaths. The extraordinary proceedings in the case now before the Circuit Court, is in itself a sufficient commen. tary upon the whole system ot our code of laws. The ground ot exclusion from the jury box—namely, fermetion of opinion {rom newspaper or public ru- mor—is a sort of test that is quite at variance with the spirit of the law and provisions under the | statute. A juryman is bound to render a verdict “according to the evidenee,” as the statute expressly provides—not as to any previously fermed “ opin- | ion” from rumor or otherwise—so that there is-a manifest absurdity in the ruling of the upper courts upon this point, and the interpretation set upon it in the present case. In this state of things, it is to be hoped that the convention will modify and remodel the statute law of the State, and also that measures will be taken to reform the city government. There is a wide field tor the exercise of this called for change. As our quasi guardians in the Corporation have become 80 inocculated with the mania of partizanship, the people have to depend solely upon themselves. We therefore trust that the most active measures will be taken by the people to bring these various mat- ters before the State convention in due season, and secure such a reform as will restore public confi- dence in our tribunals of justice. CriticisM—THEeatRicat ano Musica.—We have trom twelve to fifteen gentlemen employed in this office as reporters and writers in our several edito- rial departments, besides volunteers in any quantity. With such a large number of different minds to or- ganise and regulate, it is difficult, sometimes, to have every thing as could be wished. Opinions and remarks will be published that we disapprove and disagree with—such was the case with the remarks made by one of our musical critics, on Mrs. V. Mott, in yesterday’s paper. She was entirely underrated. No doubt the other vocalists now in the field, have an interest to keep all new rivals away—but the na* tural genius and acquired talents of Mrs. Mott, as an artiste, are of sucha high rank as to contend suc- cessfully against all competition, and allenvy. She again appears on Friday, at Huber’s concert, and will receive that applause which her great merits deserve. INTERESTING FROM Texas—This new State, now at nurse, but probably to be weaned early this winter, is in a happy and prosperous condition. We have received a file of papers, published there, to the 12th inst., in which we find a vast deal of in- teresting and important information. Ameng the most curious features of the new State are the an- cient ruins which seem to be spread over the length and breadth of the land. We have before published accounts of several remarkable discoveries of an- cient towns, and we now give on the outside the particulars of the finding of another and still more remarkable one that existed years ago.

ARMING Canapa.—The discussion of the Oregon juestion and the probabilities of war between the d States and Greut Britain, are the chief topics at present with the Canada press. The recent orders from the home government, to extend the frontier fortifica- tions, and erect new ones at several points on the St. wrence, add not a little interest to the matter. The projected improvements are on a magnificent scale, and, with all the labor that can be hed, will take two or three years tocomplete them. From ‘this fact alone, in my view of matterr, there isa “ great cry and little wool.” The REL get of the locks on thi all finished: and from the gigantic size of th Propos ones, (240 feet long and 45 feet wide,) it will take whole of next season to complete them. The im ments made this season have already reached $2,000,000, and lam informed by one of the engineers, that there are at this time about 7,000 laborers on the public work. —Montreal Letter. Metancnoty Xrraay.—On ‘Thursday evening, 13th inst. Captain C. Vanderford was murdered, in Cheraw, S.C, Upon eer g to the place where Capt. V. had been in the habit of transact business as a merchant, we saw him laid out onthe table, a ghastly and bloody corpse. It appears that Angus Taylor,about 25 years of age, had been in and before the store of the deceased, making use of oaths and abusive epithets— saptain V. nad ordered Taylor away, pushed him 'y, and was observed to strike him with a stick, upon which the twa closed and passed a nunfber of blows, Faylor using a dirk knife which he had in his hand, and with which he inflicted nine wounds inthe left side of Capt. V., thus causing his death in half an hour. As a the porties separated, Taylor fled, but was pur. = overtaken, and immediately placed in confine. Muntcrra Law—Potce Reform, | + pend Theatricals. Pang Tueatnx.—Last evening, the visitors of the Park | were verymuch disappointed,owing to the announcement A largo number of the tod was “Lucille” and In “ Lucille,” Mrs. Bland as the heroine was touching, sweet and powerful. The minor charac- ters were also well sustained, and the farces went off in fine style. The Philadelphia Washington Grays were Present, and between the pieces their band play several airs very finely. This evening, Mr. Placide re-appears in his own character of Sir Harcourt Courtley, in “ London Assurance.” Mrs. Bland sustains the character of Lady Gay Spanker. Mr. Placide also plays Grandfather White- head. Bowery Tueatne.—We can only repeat our previ- ously expressed experience in regard to the multitudes who throng this vast and commodious house. Last night this popular establishment was crowded in every part, ard the performan mriched by the skilful aid of Yankee Hill as Sy Saco and Major Wheeler; Mr. J. R. Scott in the part of Michi with Cony and Blanchard in the Mountain Drover, sustained by the entire strength of the corpe dramatique—went off with great applause. To-night, and in commemoration of the evacuation of | the British troops from our city, one of the richest bills | of the season will be presented, and in which Yankee | Hill, J. R. Scott, Cony and Blanchard, and the combined | / capacities of the company, will appear. The selection of the pieces, among which we recognize Dunlap’s na- | tional play of the “ Glory of Columbia,” aad the Indian spectacle of the ‘Cherokee Chief,” form distinguished features. A.wamna.—This fine little place of amusement con. tinues to be nightly filled with large and fashionable audiences. They have there this week, Miss Mary St, | Clair, Dr. Valentine, the Guinea Serenaders, and Mens. Phillipe. With such a bill, suece: not strange. There | will be an afternoon performance to-day. Ove Buri’s Fanewert.Concent.—At the urgent so citation, and incompliance with the published request of many of our most esteemed and respected citizens, this distinguished ertiste, and accomplished gentleman, gives a grand farewell concert at the Tabernacle, on Wednesday evening. His career since his first arrival in America, has been one series of triumphs and bril- ir Position’ and “Spital- | City Inte!

Vatextive Mott.—This lady, whose debut crea- ted such an imment well as the fashionable circles in this city, a short time since, is about visiting Boston and Philadelphia, with the inten- tion of giving concerts in each place. Her appearance there will no doubt call out all the aristocracy and beau- ty of those cities, ax well as the lovers of music and melody. Mrs. Mett is a highly accomplished and gifted lady, with an excellent musical education, and a rich | contralte voice. Her career must indeed be successful and brilliant. She is accompanied by Mr. J. A. Kyle, the | celebrated flutist, who has won golden opinions in this city and elsewhere. Gxnwanx Orera.—We understand that some difficulties | have sprung upbetweenthe German troupe and the pro. | prietors of Palmo’s Theatre, so that it is doubtful if the | company can appear there. How is this? | Erniorean Senexapens.—Palmo’s Opera House was filled to repletion last night with the beauty and fashion of our great metropolis. We havo never seen a greater display of hearty enthusiasm, nor do wo know those more capable of demanding it than this same popular brotherhood, made up as it is by Messrs. Germon, Stan- wood, Harrington, Pelham, and White. Their success abroad has been such that thoy were compelled to enter into new engagements, and their return necessarily pre- cludes the possibility of more than a very limited stay at Palmo’s. : Temrveton’s Musicat, Extertaixment.—The Taber- nacle, last evening, presented a brilliant and dazzling display of loveliness, beauty and fashion. The vast hall | was thronged in every part by the élite of New York, who had assembled to greet the most popular and gen- tlemanly singer of the day. The flashing of dark eyes— the glitter of jewels and magnificently arrayed forms of Gotham’s fairest daughters, must have filled the breast of the prince of tenors with unbounded joy and gladne and probably called from him thore rich and exquisite bursts of melody which enchanted and enchained his au- dience, Upon his appearance, Mr. Templeton was greet. ed with lond and enthusiastic plaudits—it was, indeed, a kind and warm raception, which he may well be proud of. The first nong, “Jessie, the Flower ut Dumblane,” was r ndered with true feeling, and produced a great tion. sa ‘The “Jolly Beggar,’ however, sung by request, we ler'the gein of the evening.’ The music is deli- and the manner of the artiste exceedingly happy and spirited.

The eyes of the 1Mer Sought thore of his mistress—and many a lip trembled with desire to whisper the words of the song in the | ear ofhis adored. The entertainment was interspersed with agreeable and original anecdote, poetry and senti- ment, and the ‘evening closed with the spirit-stirring song, “ The Bay of Biscay.” We understand Mr. Tem- pleton gives a musical entertainment in Brookiyn, this evening, which, undoubtedly, will be well attended. Tur Gnaxp Oxatonro or St. Pavi.—We observe, by the announcement in our columns, that this magnificent work by Mendelssohn is to be performed at the Taber- nacle on the 27th of this month. St. Pau! rio, ranks with the greatest sacred compositions of Handel and Haydn, and it is placed, by universal con sent, at the head of modern sacred works. Its success in peat and England has been extraordinary ; no grand performance takes place without St. Paul being among the selection. Surely, if the English, whom poleon called the most unmusical people on the earth, appreciate such music, we, with all our onergi awakened to the divine scienc 1 not be found bebind them in doing honor to the highest school of the art. Mr. Loder has devoted much time in getting out this work ; the chorus has been practised most care- fully, and the number of efficient singers will be greater than upon any previous occasion. The band will also be more numerous and effective than usual, there being less demand this time for orchestral performers. ‘The principal parte will be sustained by Mrs. . Lo- dor, Mrs, V. Mott, jun., Mr. R. G. Paige, and Mr. W. Rogers. Of Mrs. Loder, we need not speak, as she has established for herself name es a classical singer which we can neither enhance nor depreciate. Mrs. Mott has yet to establish a reputation for herself, and if the delight testified by the c:owded and fashionable audi- tory which attended her first concert be any assurance for the future, we may safely auger for her a lasting and honorable success. Mr. R.G. Paige, so well known in private society, has hitherto refused to sing in public ; he has, however, consented upon this occasion, and we are sure that he will make no great an impression that the public will not readily allow him to retire again into private life. Mr. W. Rogers, like Mr. Paige, enjoys a very extensive private reputation ns vocal , and we are assured by those who have heard him, avd are capa- ble of giving a correct opinion, that he sings the ver difficult music of St. Paul ina masterly manner. Mr. H. C. Timm is to preside at the organ, and Mr. G. Loder will conduct the entire performance.

Procrepincs.—To any lover of sharp | shooting in debate, the meetings of the Board of Alder men, in Brooklyn, will afford much amusement. The long and angrily discussed subject, in relation to the erection of a City Hali, andthe many interests in | volved in the issue of that question, have excited so | much warfare and exacerbation among the opposing po- litical cliques, almost to convert the Common Council | Chamber into’a physical, as well os mental, giadiat arena. It willbe recollected that many oo nd inexplicable movements have characterised the actions ot the majority, who, efter unanimously adopting one plan for the projected’ building, as cordially agreed to reject it; and thus resolved, and re-resolved, until speci: fications which were originally discarded as utterly in- compatible with the views of the dominant party, were | ultinoately agreed upon,as decidedly superior to an} presented. This rent tergiversation and Hf dealing h met with much opposition from | the gentlemen who are in the minority, and we regret to state that the most disgraceful scenes have been enacted in consequence ; leading, sometimes, nearly to eucoun- ters of a pugilistic character.

One Alderman applied to others the terms “ oleaginous representatives,” pettifoggers, numbsculls, pusillanimous individuals, &.; and the same tunctionary | intimated to one of his brethren within the bar, n reply to some harmless figure of speech about the scarlet lady of Babylon, that “‘he, at all events, had never been de- tected in amorous consultations with a woman ina car- riage house.” These are but faint specimens of the manner and style of some of the honorable members of the Com- mon Council of this great city ; and their constituents, when they learn the eharacter of the proceedings of this potent and influential legislative body, cannot certainly restrain a “‘crimaoned blush.” There are, of cou many distinguished exceptions to this despicable, de ralizing, and humiliating method of debate—gentlemen who, to their credit be it stated, never descend to mean and who, during the most ns, ever keep themselves aloof from blackguardism and vulgarity, Cowtracts.—The Committee on Lands and Common Council last evening, reported in favor of giving contracts to the fullowing named firms and individuals for the erection of the new City Hall, at the junction of Court and Fulton streets; which report was adopted: Masterson and Smith, for the required marble work, $91,260; Francis 8. Lenyke, for mason | work, $18,900 ; mard Cooper, for ‘carpenter's | work (including the roofing of the ‘building,) $17,976; | and Samuel Con; essary iron work, $9570. | ions, the sum of $8,200 is to | way of comprom a aid to Masterson and Smith rf judgment obtained by them against the city in relation to tuis long talked of structure ; three dollars per diem are tobe given to a competent and experienced builder to have general supervision and inspection over the mecha- nics and laborers; and the snug little item of two thou- sand dollars is to be handed to Gamaliel King, Esq., the architect, for his plans and drawings. These large ex- penditures will not embrace the painting, glazing, and much ornamental work that will be required ; and the chances are that at least fifteen or twenty thousand dol- lars beyond the present estimates will be demanded for the completion of the edifice. A Sur¢nt Erront at Linenatity.— Alderman Powell, the chosen chairman of a committee de! to report on the petition of the Hack and Cab Inspector of Brook- lyn, for an incréase of salary, last evening presented a resolution to the Common Council extending the com- into their | to hold posse: sundown from Fort | Monument in Hamilton riots portions of the command will enter the | ‘The | liamsburgh erry on right into | subject, Weve taken up for re-consideration, when amo- Westfield, Common Councti| Boanp or Atvexmux, Nov. 24—President Charlick | and a qvorem of mamey 4 pregent ae | American Institute.—A resolution in | | vor of allowi: e members of the American Institute | ‘of the rooms they now occupy, until further instructions from the Common Council.

Sourm Ferry Maxxet.—Tho stalls of this new mar- ket were yesterday disposed of by auction at an annual rental far exceeding in the aggregate amount, the most sanguine expectations of the proprietor.

Nov. 24.—Immediately upon the organization of this court,there was a very full attendance, and a large num- ber of jurors drawn from the Fifth and Sixth wards were in eae to gain admittance to answer to their names as called by the clerk. Some little confusion was, there- fore, caused, as well a8 unnecessary delay. About four hundred names were called, the most of which appeared with excuses of exemption, or were sworn as to their having ‘formed or expressed an opinion regarding the guilt or innocence of the accused.” The morning hour was almost entirely taken up in this way, without the | toast hope of finding any one qualified to enter the jury- OX. Jou Carcort sworn—Didnjt know whether he made up his mind or not; was very uncertain int ; perhaps he ba ve do hinks d given hi er way; didn’ b Punishment upon circumstantial tes! ; thought a murder had been committed; was pretty certain that Mrs. Houseman was murdered by somebody; didn’t know who ; thought the child might have died in some way had this _ other than that of a murderous design.

J. R. Wurrina, Esq., one of the counsel fc raised strenuous objections as to the adm ility of juror, upon separate and distinct grounds ; but was over- ruled by the Court. The examination was then continued: id not believe what he read concerning the prisoner— attached no importance to what he had either read or heard; has now no conscientious scruples -in this par- ticular case—thinks his views of capital punishment would not preclude his rendering a verdict of guilty if sustained by evidence.

After a brief charge from the court, the triers retired, and occupying a few moments for consultation, returned with an ex- pression of satisfactien as to his capacity to serve as a qualified juror. Up to this time, nine jurors (to the ex- clusion of Mr. Conant) have been obtained. Joux G.
