EW YORK HERALD. New York, Friday, November 25, 1445. Weekly Herald. We have obtained an excellent portrait of Ronge, the Luther of this century; which we intend to give in the Weekly Herald, to be ready at 8 o'clock to-morrow morning. Special Express to Boston. ° The Sunday Herald, with the latest intelligence, will go by the special express which leaves this city for Boston on Sunday afternoon, with the mails for the Bri- tannia. It will probably be in our power to lay before the public a sketch of the contents of the President's Message, to be delivered to Congress next Tuesday. Other intelligence, of almost equal importance, relative to the movements of Congress and of parties in this country, and as affecting our foreign relations, will also be given. Extravagance of the Common Council. Several months since, the Comptroller’s budget of expenditures for the year 1845, was presented in the Board of Assistants, disclosing glaringly the fact that over two millions and a half of dollars would be required to be raised by tax, to carry out the policy of our native rulers. The majority in the Board becoming alarmed at the onslaught made upon it by one of the{Aldermen, referred the same to the Finance Committee, composed of majority members, by whom it has ever since been smother- ed. The majority “pledged to reform,” refused to print the document ‘or the examination of the pub- lic, and it has not since seen the light. In the meantime, various expedients have been devised to lessen, in the public eye, the enormous amount of expenditure thus stated. Accordingly, before re- porting on the general subject, the Finance Commit- tee made a special report in favor of funding $150,- 000 of the amount, the estimated expenditure on the high bridge within the year; and in a subsequent re- port, they contrive to abstract the sum of $40,923 for the payment of a contract already made fora building on Randall’s Island,which they denominate as being a “trust fund,” and class it under that head, with street paving and regulating, when the money is paid over to the contractor only as it is collected and received into the treasury for his be- nefit, the latter in nowise affecting the treasury, while the former must he raised either by taxation, or by appropriating the proceeds of the sale of pub- lic property for the purpose. The latter expedient has been adopted as most convenient in this case. The majority have determined upon the sale of the Long Island farms, and the present nur- series, which they estimate will bring a suff- cient sum to cover the amount. By this pro- ceeding, and by reducing the various items of city expenditure, as estimated and reported by the Comptroller, on the report on estimates of the heads of the various departments—who are necessarily better qualified than the committee to judge of the actual expenditures required—they succeeded in a nominal reduction of the amount esti- mated by the Comptroller for county contingencies, of $158,4183—the Comptroller’s estimate being $1,099,400, and the committee’s, by reason of these clippings, $940,987. ‘That our citizens may know the precise expendi- ture contemplated for the present year, by the ma- jority in the Common Council, which must be paid by taxation sooner or later, we have taken some pains to analyze the several documents referred to, in orderto present them in a proper shape; and al- though the Comptroller’s document did not accom- pany the report of the Committee, in accordance with the rules of the Boards, yet we are not at a loss tor the facts, being already provided with the ne- cessary extracts :— Estimatep Exrenvitones. Estimated county contingencies by the Comptroller, to carry out the present policy of party in power... . $1,099,400 Less amount reduced by Com- and “ Long Island Farms” Watch ent... 4.5 Lamps and gas . Common Schools...” . To pay deficiency of intere REM Oe se bois. ing dent. Expenditure on high bridg Making @ total to be raised by tax, for the year 1845, according to the of committee and Comptroller. $2,409,549 39 This does not include a sum of $200,000, which the party meditate expending upon Randall’s Island the present year, for a stupendous alms house, and they have directed application to be made to the Legislature for authority to loan, that it may not “affect the taxation of the year.” It will thus be seen that, according to their own showing, the majority contemplate expending with- in the year, and for which the people must be taxed, disguise it as they may, upwards et $2,600,000, which is no where near the amount that will be ac- tually expended, if they are permitted to control the administration of our public affairs. The $200,000 estimated for the palaces on Randall’s Island, will be but the beginning of the meditated expendi- ture; and in their estimate for county contingen- cies, they have allowed but $45,437—the amount of the contract for cleaning streets—with a further sum of $5,000, tor contingencies; when they must be satisfied from present experience, that it will cost nearly double the amount, the Comptroller having paid already a sum of $1,500 more than was due, on one of the contracts, even in the present dirty condition of the streets, for the cleaning of which a beginning can hardly be said to have been made. With all these facts, the committee have the her- dihood to say, in their report, that they think they can safely state to their fellow citizens, that the per cent- age for taxes will be less for the year 1845 than in 1844; and yet, as if doubting this very statement, in the next paragraph, they apologise for increased expenditure, as follows:—‘ It must be borne in mind, that this is a growing city, both in wealth and population ; and it is impossible to keep certain expenses within the amounts of former years, from these very causes.” And in this view they have increased the taxes four per cent over those of last year, instead of decreasing them. Are these the evidences of the reform, for which this “ party came_into power pledged to reform ?” Crry Rerorm.—Who intends to put his band first to the plough? Who is the first that will come for- ward and commence the work of the city retorm tnext spring? Who will take the lead? Never was here a time more favorable for a movement of in- ‘elligent and liberal minded men for a revolution in our city government next April. Since we broached he subject we are astonished at the progress it has made in this city. In every quarter it is the topic of conversation, and we have no doubt that in a short me the movement will be commenced in ward in the city. Let us begii gaisrisitas Gruat Excitement ann } ECULATION IN WaLL STREET.—Yesterday was a day of great railway speculation in Wall street—there was also a small panic in the flour market. See “money market” and commercial articles. The railway mania begui here. Good—go ahead—go high—go low ase to the devil. x} Look out for bre: Heat fortunes and great rain, in these excitable \imes, in all sorts of stocks. Yesterday, it is said, one man made $20,000 in one operation—another lost $15,000 in another. People are getung crazy. Doctors, get out your straight jackets. Joun C. Caunoun.—Every one is astonished in Uns latitude, at the new, broad, and comprehensive ideas put forth by John C. Calhoun, on national af- fairs, at the recent Memphis Convention. What's | In the wind? | ry Why is Ole Bull like the dying swan? Because Ausic Was sweetest at the close , h ' Bible was received in Ramway Srecurations ry Evrore —It appears by;the recent adyices from Europe, that there had been a lull in the railway mania in Great Britain and on the Continent—that the excitement had some- what subsided. We look upon;this as being merely temporary, that) the movement will only acquire | new strength by the suspension, and that it will be renewed with increased vigor, until it becomes so much inflated, that a tremendous explosion will sweep awsy thousands of those engaged in the speculation. It 1s well known that during the height of a tremenduous gale, the winds are sudden- ly hushed, and as suddenly commence again with increased force. These sudden suspensions are attended with a vast deal of danger, when they oc- curin an immense speculative excitement, or in the elements of nature. The enormous bubbles in- flated in this country from 1832 to 1837—when they exploded—experienced several temporary suspen- sions ; the course of the commercial classes was at times checked, as a ship at sea becomes suddenly checked upon striking an enormous wave, which causes the whole frame to tremble, and for a moment pauses in its course, but soon plunges headlong again into the yawning gulf, and eventually becomes a hopeless wreck, and 1s soon lost beneath the waves. In 1837, the spe- culations going on so extensively, received a per- manent check, and, for a time, appeared to be com- pletely arrested. Hundreds were at that time sa- crificed; anit, notwithstanding the reports of explo- sions reaching us from all directions, the great financial genius of the age—Nicholas Biddle—i sured the anxious denizens of Wall street, that the panic would soon subside, that the country was in a prosperous condition, and that all fears were entire- ly without foundation. The panic did finally sub- side, but not until the disease wanted victims—not until the commercial classes were completely pros- trated. A revival took place in 1839 and 1840, but it was like the expiring gleam of a midnight taper. The railway speculations of Europe will, in our opinion, in its rise and fall, strongly resemble the internal improvement mania of this country; and we look upon any pause in the excitement, before the bubble is distended to its utmost, as merely of a temporary cha:acter, which will be followed by an inflation, more rapid than in any previous period. The fruit will not ‘drop until it is ripe, and then, those who have kept aloof from the movement, will step forward and gather the harvest. Many willbe made beggars, and a few made wealthy. Pouitican Movements.--We understand that the Native American party intend to hold a convention at Utica, sometime next summer, for the purpose of nominating candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and other State’ officers, at the next gubernatorial election. The whig party, the de- mocratic party, and the abolitionists, will un- doubtedly do the same; therefore, the prospect, at present, is that we will have four separate tickets at the next State election—the same as in the last election in this city ; and the consequence will be, that the democratic party, although in a very large minority, compared to the aggregate vote in the State, will succeed in electing their candidates. The whole number of votes polled at the late election, by the whig party, the natives, and the abolitionists, appears by the official returns to have been 179,022; and the number polled by the demo- cratic party, 154,385; which leaves the democratic party in a minority of 24,637 inthe State. Yet, in consequence of there having been four tickets, the democratic party succeeded—and the number of votes polled by the whig party and the native party, appears to have been 164,057—being a majority over the democratic vote of 9672; we can, therefore, see that if the whig party, the native party, and the abolition party, retain their separate organizations, and run distinct tickets at the next election, the same result will follow as at the last election, viz : the success of the democratic candidates. Such is the present aspect of political matters in this State, but it may be materially changed before the time for the next election comes round. The convention to revire the constitution will have before them several important questions, on which there is a great difference of opinion. There will be the negro suffrage question, for example, and the anti-rent question, and other questions which may still farther increase the number of parties, and it is not unlikely that the pregent aspect of political parties may be entirely changed. Arrarrs IN Canapa.—We learn that despatches to Lord Metcalfe came in the last steamer from Liverpool, authorising hum to return home, in conse- quence of his indisposition. It is said that he inten- ded to have left Montreal on Wednesday,whence he will proceed to Albany, and by the Western railroad to Boston. State rooms have been engaged for him on board the Britannia, which will leave Boston rext Monday. Lord Cathcart, the com- mander of the forces, will act as Gov. General till a successer to Lord Metcalfe arrives trom Eng- land. Tue Anti-Renters.—The Delaware Express of the 26th inst., says :— ‘When the sheriff placed the two prisoners in a cell to- gether, and announced to them the cision of the Go- jumped and danced about like madmen, elated were they. O’Conner had expected a commutation of sente Van Steenburgh, on the contrary, appeared to beli that the sentence passed upon him would be put into ex- ecution. Steele, the murdered sheriff, had not a chance to dance and jump about with joy; his sentence of death was not commuted. Anti-ANNEXATION.— he abolitionists in Massa- chusetts, are a little at fault for funds to carry on their warfare against the annexation of Texas.— Abbott Lawrence and Nathan Appleton, have both refused to aid the fanatics, in any way, in the busi- ness. Jupicta Movements.—The Hon. Levi Woodbu- ry will be tound among the arrivals at the American Hotel, from New Hampshire. Lurious Procrepings—RE.icion aND THE BIBLE BurLesquev.—For sometime past, there have been nightly meetings held by a congregation of tl order of the “colored society,” in an old f ate situated on the north side of South street, betw Seventh and Eighth streets. This congreg: ‘are under the control af the Methodist } piscupal Church of this city, and on several occasions recently, a number of white persons have visited the church, passing off as ministers of the G They suc- their designs, and became . On veral occasions they prayed and pi and pro- fessed to look upon the colored congre; o many re solved to shed the light of the gospel upon their benight- ed minds. A few aight “fe, rey stated from the aie that they would presenta Bible to the congregation on Tuesday night. This declaration became known toa few persons, and on the night in question they visited the church, to see if such an impious and outrageous scene would be enacted. Upon entering the church, they beheld there well known characters in the pulpit. One of them was dressed as an Episcopal Clergyman, having a white tablet on his bosom; his hair combo back, was holding forth with unblushing and us ampudence. We forbear giving an extend- of the speech; suifice it to say, that it was so no some of the companions of the speaker it,and they immediately retired from the motley assembly.

Panx.—The new comedy by Douglass Jorold, entitled “Time Works Wonders,” was produced last evening, and was very successful. It abounds with wit and inci+ dent, and the denouement is interesting and agreeable. Mr. Placide’s Goldthumb is a sterling piece of acting, and commends itself to all;who can appreciate merit. Mrs_ Vernon, as usual, was admirable, and kept the audience ina roar oflaughter. The other characters were sus” tained with unusual ability, and the comedy passed off to the delight and satisfaction of all who witnessed it.— Mr. Placide played Liston’s great part of Lingo, in tho musical farce of the “Agreeablo Surprise,” with spirit and vivacity. His songs were loudly applauded and his jokes well received. This evening is set apart for the benefit of Mr. Roberts, a most excellent light comedian and gentlemanly man. The comedy of the “ School for Scandal,” in which Mr. Placide plays his famous part of Sir Peter Teazle, and Mrs, Bland Lady Teazle, is pre- sented, with a new farce called “ West Point Cadets.” Bowery Turatee.—Notwithstandivg the forbidding | and inclement weather of last night, we found a very full representation of the continued and accumulating patrons congregated at the ‘‘ Metropolitan.” We have ceased to wonder at the complete success of this estab- lishment, for with such distinguished an array of the most prominent and available talent at command, with the number and well selected pieces produced, there seems no resisting such allurements. peared in two of his most favorite characters—Jonothan Doubtkins and Return Strong. Mr. J. R. Scott likewise appeared in Bannister’s successful melo-dramatic pro- duciion of “ Robin Hood, the’ Bold Outlaw,” with re- markable force and energy. Ho was most admirably sustained by Mr. Davenport as Baron de Marchont, with Vache, Clarke, Hadaway, Mrs. Phillips, Stickney and Madison, in their several departments. Cony and Blau- chard as Valentine apd Orson, in the ‘‘ Wild man of the Woods,” formed a mbst engaging feature, with which th evening entertainments were concluded. The same strong and attractive bill is to be presented to-night. Onaronio or St. Pavi.—The Tabernacle last evening was crowded to excess by the élite and musical of the city, to witness the representation of Mendelssohn’s mag- nificent oratorio of St. Paul.” This celebrated and beautiful oratorio, the chef d’euvre of Mendelssohn, was produced under the direction of Mr. George Loder, with great effect. Mrs. Valentine Mott, jr., made her debut in oratorio, and sung most charmingly. She was rapturous- ly a Loder, principal soprano, sustained i d. Mr. cho! ladies and gentlemen, and the orchestra was powerful and brilliant. We have already published a description of this oratorio; of course it is unnecessary to repeat it. Suftice it to say, the whole performance passed off with great eclat, and the oratorio was announced Jor next week. Erniorian Serenapens.—Among the many places of amusement, where our citizens may enjoy themselves in the evening, we don’t know of any, where they will get more enjoyment for their money, than at Palmo’s, where the Ethiopian Serenaders are now singing their popular songs. Their “Railroad overture” was 80 loudly encor- have no business to complain of want of patronage. Cunistiax Husen.—This celebrated violoncellist, whose praises have resounded throughout all Europe, gives his first concert in America this evening, at the Apollo Saloon. He gave irée d’artistes on Tuesday evening, which was enthusiastically spoken of by all who were present. It is said to have been a most bril- liant affair. Mons. Huber is destined to create as great a sensation in the musical and fashionable circles of this country as he has in hisown. A of the Conservatoire of Paris, posse: musical education, he unites the characteristics of the gentleman with those of the artiste. His st le is re- markable for its sweetness, parity and origina! Re Mrs. Valentine Mott, Jr., the beautiful and accomplished can- tatrice, whose brilliant success astonished and delighted those who heard her, and excited the curiosity of all who have not, volunteered her valuabl this occasion, and will sing her most exquisite songs. Mr. Kyle, the celebrated flutist, also:renders his valua ble aid. ‘This soirée musicale will ever be an era in the history of the musical world. The beauty and fashion of New York will undoubtedly conerenst® te welcome the great violoncellist to our shores and give him a cor- dial reception.

Instead of his having received a slight injury in the muscle of fourth finger, ax we stated, it seems that while he to Cambridge on horseback, on a pleasure ex- cursion, he was thrown from his horse and had his right arm dislocated. It is therefore uncertain when he will be able to resume giving his concerts. This is a most un- fortunate occurrence. Mas. Mowarr.—A highly fashionable eudience greeted this nted lady’s debut on the Richmond stage, on Monday evening. The Richmond papers speak of her in the most rapturous terms. The Times says :—‘ All seemed to admire the fascinating delicacy of manners and lady-like grace which distinguished her throughout the piece. Her beauty, too, is of a peculiar mould, and throws a charm overall her movements. We shall not go into acriticism of her acting. Suffice it to say, that the rugged cheeks of some of the harsher sex were was going slightly moistened during some of the tender scenes. ‘We shall not refer to the effect upon the gentler sex. picture of female character, so genuine in many passa- ges, ‘and so well delineated by a pretty and an intellec- tut te woman, could not fail to touch the most cruel of our ters. O, si sic omnes!

The West seems to be pouring its productions into the markets on the Atlantic, in enormous quantities. [From the Albany papers, Nov. 26.] Our farmers are pouring into the city in great force, with the productions of their farms. A merchant on the dock informs us that 173 teams have passed his store since Monday morning, loaded with butter, cheese, ap- les, potatoes and grain, which are principally bought by eastern sloop ca) ‘There was if po morning than he. putation, and numbers of boats are obliged to take th chances in the ri not being able to discharge th Flour continues to pour in by ; there is no room for it ; the store- are full to overflowing, and boat loads upon loads are turned upon the wharves.

Scarce any ice has yet been formed in the canal to impede the ga of the boats, although a large number have been laid up for the season. ks an instance of the immense business done in freighte, we would state that it is impossible for the tow boats to carry all the flour, &c., now awaiting shipment, and that steamboats are now taking off large quantities. The magnificent Hendrick Hudson this morning took 1000 bbls. of flour, independent of other freight. We counted in our harbor this morning one hundred and seventy canal boats loaded with flour. These carry, as we learn at the Collector’s office, from 450 to 800 barrels each, averaging at least 600 barrels. This would make a total of 102,000 barrels. Add to this amount 10 large tow boats loaded, everal vessels loaded and loading, and it will make a total of about 150,000 barreis afloat.

Nov. 27.—Straw Bailing System.—The straw bail sys- tem is one ofthe greatest impediments to the adminis- tration of cri justice, particularly in the city of New York. The mode adopted for procuring this kind of bail, by unprincipled lawyers, is for instance— John Doe ie arrested for passing counterfeit money or picks a pocket, and the testimony is so clear against im, that if tried, he must undoubtedly be convicted; whereupon, the thief has a sum of money made up by his “ Pala”—accomplices—ol $500, for even $1,000, if re- quired—this money is placed in the hands o lawyer, who at once sends for several of hi: ay who are a set of men without character, consisting chief- ly of broken down intelligence office keepors, ‘watch | stuffers,” “Peter funks,” and all'such vagabonds—conse- quently, upon this meeting, the lawyer informs them of the amount of bail wanted, taking good care to train them well as to the property he wishes them to swear to as belonging to them.

Thus it is, that the witnesses who are subpanaed from day todayin such cases, not only lose their valuable time, but are abso- lutely trifled With into the bargain. This mode of bail is looked upon by the thief as his most sacred right and safeguard ugainst serving a term of years in the State prison, and enables him to commit other robberies, to repay his “Pals,” and present his lawyer with some little “bijou” as a token of respect.

Stiles, at deponent’s request, followed and endeavored to separate them. The next thing deponent heard, was the report of fire arms, and at the same time the words “ what sort of satisfaction do you want, sir ?” spoken by Wadsworth. He looked round and saw Carson writhe a moment and fall toward the counter. The deceased immediately after expired.

The freight ca- pacity of the road does not appear to be above fourteen thousand dollars per week, or a little more than two thousand dollars per day. The depots of the company at Greenbush are crowded full of freight, and the entire | facilities of the road, put in active operation, do not ap- pear to reduce the amount on hand. The amalgamation of the Western and Worcester Railroad Companies will, without doubt, be accom- plished, and the difficulties likely at any time to arise, when under separate governments, will be no longer in anticipation, and the stock of each be much benefitted. ‘The two companies last winter were continually quer- relling, and their difficulties were, for the time, regu- lated by the Legislature, and as they were likely to come up again at any time, a amalgamation of the two companies was a matter of vital importance to each. 1f the stockholders of both companies consent to the pro- pesition agreed upon by the joint committee, application will be made to the legislature fer permission to unite thé roads, and if this be granted, the Western company will create six thousand new shares for the twenty per cent premium en the Worcester capital, of three mil- lions.
