N New York, Monday, Deeerber 1, 1845. EW YORK HERALD. Ocean Steamers. The Cambria will be due at Boston to-morrow or next day, and if she arrives at {he,proper time, and nothing alarming happens, @ special express will be run to this office with her news. All classes are looking anxiously for later intelligence; that to come in the Cambria is likely to be of the highest importance. The Hibercia, which run ashore at Cape Race and put into St. Johns, N. F., left that port on the 9th ult. for Liv The injury to the ship is said to have been sl The Britannia wili | from Boston to-day. The special express which left this city at three-quarters past three o'clock, yesterday afternoon, over the Long Island Rail Road, with the mails for the B., carried alarge number of passengers, including Lord Metcalfe and suite, from | Canada, The Greatness, Prosperity and Destiny of New York. New York is undoubtedly the most flourishiog city in the Union—or in the world—and is still rapidly increasing in size and importance. Nothing astonishes a stranger so much as the continual bus- tle and business-like activity everywhere apparent ln almost every street, magnificent warehouses and ndid buildings are in progress of erection, at all seasons cf the year. The population is enormous. Aceording to the late census it amounted to nearly 400,000; but with its suburbs, it cannot be less than mi lion—of these, 250,000 were probably born inthe city and State—30,000 in New England, 55,000 in the Southern, Western and Middle States, 175,000 in Europe and other foreign countries. A very curious and singular state of society is here presented—somewhat similar, however, to that ob- served in Paris. The representatives of New Eng- land, or the ** Yankees,” among us—the natives of New York—ihe comers from the great West—the Southerners, as weil as the Scotch, Irish, English, French, Germans, Italians, ete., are formed into separate and distinct cotertes. Individuals com- prised in these various divisions of humanity, natu- rally find themselves attracted towards those whose birth, nature, and prejudices are like their own. ‘Thus cliques are necessarily formed, and sectional, or national feelings kept alive for the promotion of peculiar interests. Notwithstanaing this, however, the leading spirits of all parties amalgamate, and are united upon all questions of importance to the welfare of the city or the nation—although each clique claims the right to judge and act for itself. A great public opinion has been generated, grow- ing out of the state of society which here ob- tains, and controls the action of all parties. This powertul conservative principle is the embodied wisdom of the coteries, who are finally compelled to obey its dictates. This is the peculiar and distinctive feature of so- ciety in New York. No other city in this country possesses such a population—celebrated alike for its wisdom and virtue—its folly and philosophy. The result of this state of things is apparent— New York has become the grand centre from which all lightiadiates. If aman of genius wishes celebrity, he comes to New York. Here vocalists receive their diplomas, and artistes of all descrip- tions must pass the ordeal ofa New York audience before they can claim a position in their respective professions. Distinguished authors publish their works here, and religious societies assemble every spring to celebratetheir anniversaries. Politicians, diplomats, and divines, look to thts great popular voice for its approval. The President of the United States—the members of the Cabinet, and the two houses of Congress, court its favor. It isa well established truth, that in this country no one man can carry forward any great movement with- out the aid of public opinion. It is the consoli- dated wisdom of the whole which produces pros- perity, and crowns the efforts of genius with suc- The prosperity of this great city is owing to its peculiar population, which, as before remarked, though divided into many classes, 1s united on all questions of vital importance. The population of New York is in fact a great Congress of nations. There is, however, another important feature in our society which exerts a vast influence. The newspaper press is highly conservative, and enters largely into the organization of the various cliques. ‘The press has always been celebrated for the ability with which it is conducted, and the extraordinary in- fluence it everywhere exerts. The journals of other cities, though managed with skill, are of very litle importance when compared with the journals of New York. Many newspapers here, however, are the organs of the minor cliques, and advocate their peculiar views. But, though the editors of these journals seldom meet, and in most cases are entirely unacquainted with each other—though they quarrel and fight about trifles, and insist upon the correct- ness of their own opinions—yet when a great move- ment of importance to the welfare of the city or the nation is started by some leading spirits, they unite in pashing it forward in a spirit of harmony and good feeling. Occasionally, to be sure, one of these gentlemen will get pugnacious, and being filled with conceit, will dety tor atime this great public sentiment; but he soon learns good manners, and becoming docile, quietly submits to the popular will. This has been clearly illustrated within afew months by the course of the party press in relation to many proposed city reforms and new questions of national policy. New York is destined, at no distant period, to ri- val inits commerce, splendor, magnificence, wealth, taste and refinement, the proudest and greatest among the cities of modern Europe. Wonderful indeed has been its progress—gigantic its strides— and glorious will be its final destiny. It has not yet reached 1:8 culminating point, but is fast hastening towards it. The improvements which have taken place in the character and appearance of this great metropolis of the new world, within the last few years, would astonish and amaze us, were time ullowed for reflection; but change follows change in such quick and rapid succession—every day bringing some new wonder—that we cease to think of whathas been done, in the ever vary- ing excitement incident to our progressive state, We seldom pause to look backward—we never re- trace our steps—but, with a firm’ reliancelin Provi- dence, and an assured conviction of success, we look into the dim future with confidence, and march onward to victory. There is a majesty in the silent progress of popular opinion, among a free people, that always merits admiration, and commands re- spect. Everything about us is changing. But the spirit which lingers around the tombs ot the fathers of the revolution, has been transfused into the bo- oms of their sons ; and upon the foundations which they have laid, a magnificent temple is rising, devo- ted to Liberty and Genius. The morning is break- ng in beauty and splendor. New York takes the lead in this glorions move- ment—her great thoroughfares teem with life and activity—the indomitable spirit and energy of a free people is here manifested—Broadway, Nassau, Ful- ton, Wall, Pine, and Pearl streets are thronged with countless multitudes, from the rising to the setting of the sun—nor does business cease till midnight.— The hum of voices, engaged in trade and toil, is vinceasing—the rattling car, transporting merchan- cise and wares of ull descriptions, is heard at every hour. Magnificent and costly palaces—the abode of merchant princes—the white sails of whose proud argosies glisten in every clime—have been, and are in progress of erection, in the upper portion of the city. Temples dedicated to the worship ot the Most High, are rising in justness and beauty of propor- tion, to the heavens. All that luxury and wealth 1 lend to adorn and beautify, is freely lavished on m The immense warehouses of our merchants stored with the products of American skill and \ugenuity, a8 well as the costly fabrics of other chines, Competition—the life of trade—is so great, UC goods are sold at small profits, and thus mer- chvnts, from all quartere of the Union, preter New York to other cities, for the purchase of their good It isa singular fact, too, that New York lias flourieh- ed and grown great, without the aid of a municipal government. We have, it is true, a Corporation but their object seems to be to legislate for the bene” fit of themselves, and not for the good of the city. The only government we have, is the voice of pub- jie opinion, and the newspaper press. Let us try to have another next spring. Tur Usury Laws.—As the people of this State have, by an unequivocal decision through the ballot box, determimed to have a convention to revise the Constitution, we would urge upon the convention taking up, at the earliest opportunity, the subject of the usury laws, as being one of the most important questions that they cah have before them. The pass- ing of laws regulating the amount ot _ interest that a man shall reccive for the use of his capital, is an impertinent interference on the part of State, in the private atfairs of individuals, and is the fruitful source of a great amount of false swearing and ini- quity, in our courts. If the State can interfere as a regulator between the lender and borrower of money, and say that the | lender shall receive seven per cent and no more in- | terest, it can on the same principle interfere between the merchant and the consumer, and say that the | former shall not sell his goods at a greater advance | from eost than a certain per centage, which it should | deem an equivalent. Besides, the present usury laws are manifestly unjust. As the law now stands, a note which is usurious on its incipiency is void, not only in the hands of the person in whose favor it is drawn, but also void in the hands of a third party, notwith- standing he may have gtven the full face of it. The common law of this State, before the passage of the Revised Statutes, made an usurious note void only in the hands of the person in whose favor it was drawn—this principle was incorporated into the Re- vised Statutes of 1880, and was the law until the year 1839, when the legislature, in the winter of that year, altered it and made it void in the hands of any person who afterwards should get possessed of it. This certainly is law, but not equity. In a com- mercial community like ours, the carrymg out of this principle is attended with a great deal of incon- venience, and interrupts the course of trade materi- | ally—it is customary in New York, for merchants to sell goods and receive negotiable notes in payment. As the law now is, the merchant, before parting with his property, must pursue the note through the different persons from whom it hrs come to him to | the fountain head, the drawer, and ascertain whe- | ther it is tainted with usury; he must do this, or run the risk of losing his property ; tor when he comes to collect the note, he may find that it was usurious at first, and although he was nota party to it, the note is void in his hands and he must loose his pro- perty. This predeliction for the tinkering and med- dling with aflairs of individuals should be put an end to, and capital, like every other species of pro- perty, should be allowed to regulate itself according to its value. Sometimes money, as at present, 1s not worth more than five per cent; at other times it may be worth ten, twenty, or perhaps forty. An individual having an opportunity of invest- ing $10,000, or any other sum profitably, the loan of that sum 1s worth more to him than the common rate of interest ; and it being worth more, | he consequently is willing to pay more; but the sages of ihe legislature know his business better than he does himself, and direct that it is not worth | more than seven per cent, and in case of the lender | , taking more, they threaten him with the loss of all. The usury laws, as they now stand on the statute book, are attend*d with no good effects; on the contrary, they merely impede the course of busi- ness transactions, and are attended only with benefit to dishonest persons, who are glad of any pretence to avoid just and honorable debts; for no man of principle would object to paying a note, because he agreed to pay more interest than the law allowed. We would, therefore, urge upon the convention, the propriety of taking up this subject at the earliest opportunity, and either alter the law as it now stands, or which would be the better way, abolish it altogether Common Councu. —Both Boards of the Common Council meet this evening, when it 1s expected that the policy of taxing non-residents, and prohibiting the storage of saltpetre in this city will be discussed in the Board of Aldermen. There will doubtless be | along debate in the same Board on the subject of the new $4a day and roast beef city charter, the | Board of Assistants at their last meeting having ' adopted some amendments to the bill, calculated to rob them of all their ‘honor and glory,” besides the magisterial pickings, which at present fall to their lot. In the Board of Assistants the report of the com- mittee to whom was referred the petition of Bloom- field, Bloodgood, and numerous property owners on the west side of the city, for permission to lay down a railroad in Hudson street and the 8th ave- nue, to} McCoomb’s Dam, will, it is believed, be brought up for action. The movement in favor of dividing the 16th and | some other wards, started at the last meeting, will | probably be carned inthis Board. In the meanume, measures of real importance are passed over. Mr. Dickens of WasnIncton, SECRETARY oF THE SgenaTE.—A few days ago, one of our Washing- ton correspondents made some remarks, reflecting, in uncomplimentary terms, as to the position and po- litical history of Mr. Dickens, Secretary of the Se- nate. Had we seen these remarks before publica- tion, we would have excluded them from our co- ‘umns. We have known Mr. Dickens for many years, | and a more upright, competent, and honorable man, in every relation of life, does not exist. No doubt there are plenty of persons less competent, and many equal, who would like to get his place as Secretary of the Senate; but this is no reason why any injus- tice should be done to a gentleman like Mr. Dick- ens, who has always maintained the character of an honorable and upright man in all his public and pri- vate duties. Court or Generat Sgssions.—The December term of this Court will commence at 11 o’clock this forenoon. Several cases of interest are expected to be tried during the present term; amongst which may be enumerated those of Smith, alias Honeyman, Miller,alias Cupid, and Davis,alias Collard, implead- ed with Parkinson in robbing the barge Clinton of about $34,000, in April last. There are also the trials of Madame Costello and Charles Mason for prodncing an abortion, and that of Mr. Trust for an alleged libel on L. C. Comstock; besides numerous others of less importance Maw, Agrancements.—The enterprise of the Post Office Department, in sending a special express to Boston with the mails for the Britannia, was a little unfortunate. Jt was contemplated to send the Southern mail, due yesterday afternoon, by this express, and thus benefit the whole Southern ¢om- mercial community ; but neither the Southern mai! of yesterday, or that of the day betore, arrived in time, and thousands of letters, therefore, from New Orleans, Mobile, Charleston, &c. &c., will have to lay over till the next steamer, or go to-day in the packet ships. Exection in New Hamrsuine.—Another attempt was made on Saturday to elect a member to Con- gress. There were three or four candidates, in- cluding Hale, a democratic anti-annexationist. |t is expected by some that he was elected, because a great many whigs intended to vote for him, on the principle that “half @ loaf 1s better than no bread.” Meerinos or Leois.atures.—To-day is an im- portant one, in a legislative point of view. Besides the meeting of Congress, the Legislatures of Vir- ginia, Alabama, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and Llh- noisconvene, All the States have a good deal of interesting business to transact. ———_—_.

Seymour, had arrived there and saluted the Freach-Protectorate flag.. This is rather singular, and seems to in- dicate that the En: , in order to carry some point in the Pacific, have concluded to recog- mise and tolerate the French aggressions in that sea. Itis to be borne in mind that Sir Geo. Seymour has command of the English fleet stationed onthe North Pacifie coast, and to operate on the shores of Oregon, if need be. It is to wateh this fleet that Commodore Stockton has just been des- patched, in the frigate Congress. The U. 8. ship Portsmouth, Commander J. B. Montgomery, was at San Blas on the 18th ult., to sail same day for Mansanilla and Acapulco. She left Oahu, Sandwich Islands, Sept. 5th, Monterey, California, Sept. 30th, and Mazatlan, Oct. 16th. She Jost one man by his falling from the fore-yard to the deck. Mr. Francis Johnson, bearer of despatches from U. 8. Commission, Hawaii, was a passenger on board. The U 8S. S. Levant, Commander H. N.

Very Lats: rrom Mexico.—The packet barque Eugenia, Captain Biscoe, arrived yesterday from’ Vera Cruz, whence she sailed on the 5th instant. She brings no news of importance. Our corres- pondent gives all the intelligence from the intefior in his letter. All was quiet at Monterey, in California, on the 30th of September. A new Governor, with troops, was expected from Mexico, but it is doubtful wheth- er the Government will send the force at present. The U.S. ship John Adams, Captain McCluney, was at Vera Cruz on the 5th, to sail on the 8th. Vena Cruz, Nov. 5, 1845, Mexico at present is quiet, though there has lately short been some tumultuous movement in Puebla, and time ago there was an alarm of revolution in} during the night, which induced an immediate e' tion of the theatre, but it appears that the alarm was o . false one. Much diversity of opinion exists on the subject of the Texas qpestion ; some few opine that the Mexican gov- ernment will not dare to accede to the terms that the United States may propose, and that it is only trying to gain time, as its coffers are in a most impoverished state, while the great number think the extreme penury of the country will actasa sufticient inducement to sub- mit to any terms that will produce funds enough to meet the actual most pressing exigencies. : The country is in a most anomalous position; the go: vernment is central, though all the members of it are . federalists; and it is presumed, indeed, fully expected, that a revolution is preparing for the beginning of the year,te upset the present system and establish federalism. The now tariff’ is a little more favorable to commerce ii wine than the old one, but the greatest alter. ill in contemplation, namely, to admit raw and manufactured cottons of all descriptions, and to devote a part of the increase of the revenue towards the indem- nification of the manufacturers.

Business is dull, the goods for the fairs having gono forward ; money is extremely scarce and no conducta expected for some time, consequently the exchange on the capital may be expected to reach a ruinous rate to those compelled to draw. Exchange on New York no- minal; nothing to remit and therefore no takers. f other departments, Retigious Services at Sr. Peters.—Our report- er has full notes ot the excellent sermon preached yesterday, at St. Peter’s Church, in Barclay street, by the Very Rev. Dr. Power. We may give it to- merrow. Theatricals. Panx.—Miss Delcy having recovered from her late se" vere indisposition, appears this evening as Agatha, in Weber's grand and romantic opera of “ Der Freischutz.” Mr. Gardner and Mr. Brough sustain the parts of Rudolph and Casper. “ Der Freischutz” is one of the wildest and most thrilling operas upon the stage—it abounds with delicious and beautiful music, and interesting and roman- . tic situations. New scenery, decorations and costumes have been prepared, and tne choruses well drilled in their respective roles. Mr.G. Barrett, a popular and somewhat celebrated light comedian, makes his first ap- pearance as O’Callaghen, in “His Last Legs.” A fashion- able and crowded house will, undoubtedly, assemble to- night. Bowrny Tueatne.—Mrs. Shaw, the beautiful and high- ly accomplished tragic actress, makes her first appear- ance this evening at this popular establishment, in her great part of Margaret Elimore, in “ Love's Sacrifice”— Mr. J. R. Scott playing Mathew Ellmore, and Mr. C. Hill St. Lo. The evening’s performance concludes with the farce of No Song, No Supper.” This will be arich dramatic treat. Ernsorian Senexapens.—These very talented and no- vel musicians remain in this city for five nights longer, thus affording those who have not bad the opportunity of seeing and hearing them, turther time for so doing. It will in all probability be the last chance for several months tocome. The crowd thet has nightly witness. ed their performances in this city, is the best guarantee of the excellence of their talents. There will be an en- tire change of pieces during the present week. Aunastna.—Palmo’s Ethiopian Opera Company make their appearance this evening at this delightful place of amusement, in the operatic burlesque entitled “ Black Diabolo” —the music taken from the opera of “ Fra Dia- volo.” Previous to the opera a grand vocal concert will be given. Bowery Cincus.—Gossin, the clown, commences an engsgement at the Bowery Amphitheatre, this evening. Gossin has been forthe last six or eight months with Rockwell & Stone. He is said to be the only legitimate representative of Mr. Merriman now in the saw-dust line. Miss North This charming and accomplished young lady, gives her first concert in this city, on Wed- ming, at the Apollo Saloon. She is a most cellent vocalist, and dererves support. Big.

Tur First Snow oF Tite Season.—We woke up early yestarday’morning, and, looking out of our window, saw the ents ‘whitened with snow—not much snow, nough to give evidence that it had been snow! As our sentimental friend would say, ‘ The angels ha spread a carpet thick enough to leave their footprints upon.” How many glorious thoughts and hopes the first snow of the season bring with it! Dim visions of cl cold, star-lit lights, a well trodden snow, prancing steeds, black: robes, and the merry jingling of slei ‘4 ella, up before our mind’seye.

At this season of the year, when business is dull, wo do not see the necessi ity of these obstructions. And, what is more provoking, a large number, and, in fact,'a ma- jority of those which lie over from day to day, are en- tirely empty, and are merely placed there for the pur. | pose of making ashow.

A fow suits for petit larceny might also prove beneficial to the umbrella stealing community. Camruine.—We are informed that this article has lately risen some 50 per cent more in price than it ever was before ; and- the shop-keepers are loud in their com- plaints. Tbe only remedy they have is, ifthe manutac- turers combine to keep up the price to an unreasonablo amount, for,them to establish a manufactory of it them- selves, and drive the monopolists out of the market. A little competition would soon bring it from its present rice of 63. per gallon to 3s., at which sum, we are in- Formed, it can be made, and give a fair profit. Brooklyn City Iutelligence. Tho Rey. Henry I’. Cheever preached a doctrinal ser mon yesterday afternoon in the vestry room of the church of the Pilgrims, Brooklyn. His text may be found inthe 11th chapter of Job, 8th verse. This gen- tleman advertised himself as a missionary returned from the Sandwich Islands, where he has been for the pur- ose ofconverting the inhabitants of those regions to Bisfaith It is very strange that these returned mission- aries seldom seem Willing to give the public an account of the success they have met with in making conver: sions. We know many persons who went from this city yesterday to hear Mr. Ch relate his missionary _ experience. They were disappointed, however, and abliged to listen to a dry doctrinal discourse. A Sapnatu Pepiar, anp a Surrosen Tuiey.—Yes- terday afternoon, a tolerably well dressed and decent looking man, entered the bareroom of the Franklin House, and offered for sale a silver pencil case, which, of course, on so sacred a day, was not purchased by any one in that establishment. The fellow took good care, however, to make a profitable speculation, as he took away from the premises two valuable umbrellas—one of them the property of the much esteemed proprietor and publisher of a Brooklyn newspaper. Officers Bird and right were—as soon as the theft became known—de- spatched in pursuit of the offender; but they did not auc- ceed in finding him. An Inuraisonep Vesser.—It may be recollected that, a short time ago, the schooner ‘Samuel P. Brown,” of Virginia, came into collision with a Brookhaven schoon- er—the consequence of which was very considerable in- jury to both vessels. The Southern craft was alleged to be in error, and a suit was commenced to recover dama- ges therefor; which resulted in the whole difficulty being submitted to the arbitration of referees mutually chosen by the parties litigant. ‘The “Samuel P. Brown,” being joored on the Brooklyn side of the river, was taken pos- ion of by the sheriff of King’s county, who appointed Mr. Abraham §. Wright as his deputy, until the claim was satisfactorily adjusted. This ina very short i ecomplished, by an award being jein favor of the plaintifis for the sum of one thousand and eighty dollars. Rereat Meetina.—After the interesting proceedings which will attend the laying of the corner stone of Freeman’s Hall this afternoon, a Repeal Meeting will be held in one of the public rooms in that vicinity, at which it is expected a great number of persone will be present and many eloquent addresses delivered. Juny Duty.—The many gentlemen who will be sum- moned as grand and petit jurors to attendthe Courts which will be opened, for the December session, this morning, in Kings county, have a decided advantage over their neighbors in New York, who may be similac- ly situated, as each individual upon whom such a requi- sition may be made, and who are not exempt or excused from the duty, wil artain per diem compen- sation for tl! of time which be may de- vote to the service of the State,.insuch capacity.

Pouce Matrers.—The city of Brooklyn was yester- day unusually quiet, and we did not hear of any breach. en of the peace which required the appearance or inter- position of police magistrates or officers. Ata late hour on Saturday night, however, two vagrants were arrested for improper conduct ia the streets ; one of them being a well clad and good looking female, who was taken in- to custody by officer Platt Powell ; and the ot! @ poor shirtless and forlorn looking wretch who was placed by some humane citizens in charge of Mr. Pelletrau, keeper of the public cells. Suppen Deatn.—Yesterday morning,Mr. Gideon Kim- berly Waring, a son of Henry Waring, Esq., one of the oldest and most wealthy inhabitants of Brooklyn, and brother of the Corporation Dounsellor, died very’ sud- denly at his father’s mansion in Fulton street. His re- mains will be interred to-morrow afternoox. Tue New City Hart.—It is not generally known in Brooklyn that the new City Hall, (apon which workmen will this morning commence operations,) will be in the | centre of a triangular park or enclosure, the railings which will take. the place of the unsightly board fence which has so long surrounded the foundation stones that | are now to be removed. Darina Arrempr at Murper.—A few days ago, a daring attempt to murder a whole family was made near the Shot Tower in Jefferson county. A M. Kennedy, who is purchasing slaves, put up some revious at the house of an old man named Philli He hired a horse from Phillips, and was looki the country for slaves, On to Phillips’ hou un! some time before employed by to do some work. During the evening, Phillips asked Ken- edy how he had succeeded in getting sl ko., from which it is supposed that the young man heard that Kennedy was a slave-dealer, and suspected him to ha money. When they went to bed, Kennedy and t yonng man were put in one bed, and Mr. Phillips a: hie tie occupied the other bed—both beds being in the same room. About an hour after they had retired to bed, the young man Bet up, went out ‘A the yard and got an axe, with which he struck Kennedy on the head, knocking him senseless. He then went and struck the old lady, Mrs. Phillips, on the head also, and knocked ber senseless. Raising the axe the third time to strike the old man, he accidentally awoke; seeing the raised axe, he jumped up and received the blow in his side. He, however, seized the young man, and after calling Kennedy eight or ten times to help him, Kennedy came to his senses, and leaped out of bed, and with the aid of a daughter of the old people's, they succeeded in securing the scoundrel, and he is now lodged in jail.— ‘The old lady is still in a critical state, but, it is thought, willrecover.
