NE W_YORK HER ALD. ee —_ day, January 4, 1546. Whe Position of Mr, Calhoun on the Ure gon Question. The ultra democrats do not seem quite contented | with the stand Mr. Calhoun has taken on this momentous affair; While, on the other hand, his course is hailed with approbation by many whigs and conservatives. The chivalry of the West goes hot and strong for 54 40—while the ardent South, and calculating East, coalesce, for once, on this pamt, and quietly and temaperately call for 49. Ttis a vulgar proverb, that poverty makes a man acquainted with strange bed-fellows. This is still more true if applied to polities. What strange associations dces it not sometimes exhibit!) Who would (as in the present position of the Oregon estion) ever have expected to see the —with ats commerce and manufactures—sym hizing with the South, and forming what may be called the Low Latitude party of 49; while the West goes for the High Lati of 542 qta not the first time that figures have become, 4s it'were, a watchword for parties—-and a kind of standard under which the masses cluster. Every one remembers how, in the exciting times of the famous John Wilkes—when England never appeared | more likely to be on the brink of a popular -and sloody revolution—how the number 45, referring to . sheet of the North Briton, became the great and magic talisman, which was the rallying word of the | popular party, and which was seen chalked up on, all the wells of the city of London, and sounded in | the moutlis of men, women and children, through sll the extent of that agitated empire. So, at this time, the numbers 49 and 54 seem destined, as the French say, ‘‘fuire fortune’—that is, to make their fortune, or to obtain extraordinary notoriety. 49 has its adherents in the East and South, and John C. Calhoun is the hero of this number ; 54 has its admirers chiefly in the West, and Cass, Hanne- | of vieing with each other in their attempts to clothe | yan, Allen and others, divide among themselves the honor of co-leaders on this significant number. | and afflicted, they present themselves in the form of How the lottery will draw, and which will be the | religious bulldogs, and fight and quarrel about some ucky number, few, none, rather, can tell. For our | obscure and immaterial point of doctrine, having parts we watch the tempest as it rolis around, and | 20 connection of any moment with the merits of | keep a faithful log book of ail that is passing; often | the creed of either. Neither are the motives good. | calling out to the man at the helm, and he, whoever it may be, is often right glad to take our hint, and | profit by it mereial and manufacturing party of the North, with the rice and cotton party! of the South, which seems | of carnage and conflagration, in a neighboring city, to be taking place on this question, may bring about a new attitude of parties and open new chan- nels of political sympathies In the history of the world, all national parties have most generally | with the aid of apress, a umited demonstration is | race to the century and to the country we live in. turned upon the pivot of peace or war; and sucha | question is now, in fact, the great agitating question of our day tion, so parties will be formed; and the question s:lf being eminently national, the ; intelhgible character than has for some years past been the case. Mr. Calhoun’s position is brilliant and distin- guished, though not without its difficulties. The tide of events seems to carry him on its head, as if hereafter to cast him either upon some high and lotty eminence, or some dark and desolate shore. Which we don’t know; but he will be either—Napoleon on the field of Marengo, Jeon on St. Helena., or Napo- _ Supay Ocourarion 1v New Yorx.—The popula. | the presence of two other persons, and there can be tion of the city of New York is something in the | little doubt but she told the truth neighborhood of four or five hundred thousand, of all ages, sexes, nations and countries; and if an in- this immense numberof human beings spend their time on Sabbath days, with any degree of ac curacy in the results, we are confident that it would exeite wonder and amazement, in the minds of all Uhat they do not all resort to place s of worship is evident, from the appearance of our streets on those days, and from the fact, that there is not sufficient church accommodation for one half of that number. We will endeavor to make a computation, by which a general result can be ascertained, and it can only be a general result, for the nature of the in- vestigation will not give us access to any data, by which any thing approaching to accuracy can be ascertained. By a statement recently made by the Colporteur Association of this city, and by whom an investiga- tion of the subject was made, and which, no doubt» 18 pretty near correct, for they had every means within their reach, it appears that if all the public places of worship, of all denominations in this city, were filled, there would be left 160,000 people unaccommodated with the means of attending pub- lie worship. If we take this statement asa guide, then, in the first place, we have 160,000 persons who de not attend chureh; that would leave 140,000; but it 1s well known, that our churches never contain much more than one halt of what they are capable of. Therefore, averaging all the churches as being but half filled, we have 70,000 more to be added to ation could be entered into, as to the way in | As the masses take sides on this ques- | which is the best. The only effect of persecution t- | will be to engender feelings of enmity and unchari- varties formed | tableness between cach, altogether at variance with will, consequently, partake of a more national and | true religion and piety. | | great in | lose by roguery at le , done much towards keeping order and suppressing | | | timely interference of the offi | j those who do not attend churoh, making 210,000 peo- | ple in this city who do not attend worship on the Sabbath. Thus, then, we have one general result— that 210,000 people do not attend church. Then the next question, how do they occupy themselves on the Sabbath? Of these 210,000, it is | probable that 30,000 stay at home, and pass their time in reading the light literature of the day. Probably 20,000 more frequent the numerous grog shops with which the city abounds, and the re mainder amuse themselves in various other ways These results show that there is in the city of New York a vast field for the exertion of the Chris- tian and the philanthropist. Immense sums of money are annually contributed to send mission- | Mexico. A let announces thi fact. The doctor writes to those intend- | | ing to embark for Oregon, that they should take with | | them, far as convenient, whatever of household furni- anes to foreign countries to instruct the heathen, | while here at home we have no church accommo- dation for 160,000 of our population. Truly, we can see the mote in our neighbor's eye, but not the beam in our own. It appears, from the annual statement of the Missionary Board of the Presby- terian Church, that one mission on the coast of Africa, costs annually the large sum of $12,000; and the whole amount expended by them in foreign missions, is equal to $35,000 annually, by that sect alone. If that sum were applied to the enlighten- ment of souls at home, it would be far better than the way it is now applied. But it would appear that the half savage African comes in for a greater share of philanthropy than those here at home, who are our own “kith and kin.” Famity Jans —The “fierce democracie,” in these our latitudes, is terribly divided at present into two violent factions. The one is called the “ Bosworth squad,” represented by Slamm, Bang & Co. of the Globa — the other, “Secret-Circular-clique,” whose organs are Sullivan & Co. of the News, and Bryant & Co, of the Evening Post. For several days past, hey have been aasailing each other most violently, much to the disgrace and general discredit of the uewspaper press attached to the democracy. The qua.rel 18 selfish in the extreme—merely for the poils of office—not a principle or a measure is con- cerned. We advise Mr. Polk to take a look at his smiable and disinterested organs—and if he can ind time to throw them a few bones to gnaw, by ! means to do it speedily, as they will annoy him still more, and disgrace his c@use beyond re- emption. Wau street Excrrement.—There is a tremen- duous struggle in Wall street, betweea the “ bulls” and “bears,” on the Erie Railroad stock. They are the same parties who formerly figured so largely ia the Norwich and Worcester. The contest in- volves probably $200,000, more or less. There will be smashing work this week, opening to-morrow. ‘This excitement has nothing to do with war, Con- gress, or politics. It is simply a cornering opera- tion—a game between the brokers, for the spoils— ny howjend any way. pf | for such warfare ; for it is inconsistent with his ho- The fusion, if we may so call it, of the great com- | ly dictates to persecute, in any shape. | Reticiovs Persecution —We see that a news- paper has been lately started in Boston, for the pur- pose, as its prospectus tells u-,“ independent of sect or party, to promote the union of Christians against | Popery.” Among the contributors are the some- what notorious Dr. Beecher, Dr. Kirk, Dr. Mason, and cthers. adopted towards the Roman Catholics, a few years since, by Brownlee, et id omnegenus,on one side, and | Bishop Hughes aud the Catholics on the other—to | what a disgracefulextent these followers of the meek and lowly Jesus pursued each other. One clique of the | religious combatants did not stop at availing them- selves of falsehood, and knowingly published a col- lection of the basest untraths, which they alleged contained revelations of the mysteries and iniquity | of aconvent in Ganada, inorder to tell against them. Well, suat crusade, like every thing else, had its day. !t passed off, and what was the eflect? ‘The Roman Catholics kept on in the same manner as they did before, and instead of being annihilated, they gained strength and numbers from the perse- on they suflered. e But it would appear now that all the forces of the | different churches which have seceded from the Ca- tholic, are to be united in one great confederacy; and about to be made against the mother Church. No doubt this new attempt will be characterised by all the bitterness and malignity which characterised | previous crusades, and the success will no doubt be the same. The Catholic Church willcome out no, only unscathed, but purer and stronger. ‘The fact is, these religious persecutions are a dis- They belong to another age. If the leaders and projectors imagine that they are carrying out the commands of the holy Founder of the church, they are vastly mistaken. The true cause—the main spring of the whole movement, is jealousy and en- vy of the strides the Catholicsare making, Instead the naked, feed the hungry, and comfort the widow It the hearts of those disputants could be examined, | he love of God would not be found as the motive We have aeen the effects of this warfare in scenes | If a repetition is not desired, this new movement at Boston should be frowned down by the Christian | community, of all sects—Protestant and Catholic. Why not let all sects and exeeds pursue their differ- ent ways, without interruption, in this free land? There is no earthly jadge capable of deciding Fanny Essien AND HER AMERICAN FortuNE.— Somebody in the Courier des Etats Unts, asserts a | i official,” as he calls it, that Fanny Elssler lost none of the proceeds of her American engagements. We cannot easily guess what “ official” means, but we assert on the authority of Fanny Elssler herself, who stated the ‘fact,to usin London, in 1843, that she had ‘ast one half of the money she had made during the two years she had performed in | America. This* was asserted by Fanny Elssler in | New Yean’s Day.—When we consider that ihe entire population of this great city are let loose, like | a whirlwind, it is surprising that we have not heard of many deaths, to eay nothing of casualties. And | we have reason to believe that the Star Police have crime, on this famous day of frivolity. One of the police took a man to Dr. Bostwick’s oflice, who re- ceived a severe cut from a bowie knife, and would probably have been killed, had it not been for the | Navat.—We lear that Mr. Andrew Hebard, | Chief Engineer U. S. Navy, and at present attached | to the U.S. steamer Michigan, at Erie, Pa.,has been ordered to Washington to teport to the Chief of th Bureau of Construction, Equipment,and Repair; and also that Wm. Scott, first Assistant Engineer ; Thos. Dickson and John Gallagher, third Assistant Engi- | neers U. S. Navy, have also been ordered there to undergo an examination as to their qualifications as Assistant Engineers. Very Lare rrom Hayrt.—The schooner Silas Wright, Capt. Conklin, arrived yesterda —_m Port au Prince with advices to the 13th ult. We learn from Capt. C. that the French Admiral | nad determined to blockade Port au Prince and | bombard the town, if the Haytiéns did not pay | $16,000 as an indemnity to the French Consular Agent recently driven thence- | The blacks at Hayti, it is said, are becoming very | insolent to foreigners. Sreamsuip Hisernia will leave Liverpool to- | day for Boston. If no packet arrive betore she does, her news will be one month later. Imrortaxt MovemEnt—SreciaL MESSENGER TO Orncon.—According to the following paragraph from the Newburyport Herald of the 2d inst., the President is on the point of despatching a special agent to Oregon.

Bowery Turatne.—Since the erection ef the new the. Atre on the site of the old Bowery, this establishment, under the management of Mr. Jackson, has received a most extraordinary amount of patro: Night after night it is crowded by the lovers of th® drama, and the manager is receiving rich rewards, Tere is no secret inthis, Let any place of amusement be conducted with the same liberal spirit which has characterized the man- agement of this theatre, {rom tue time when it came un- der the control of Mr. Jackson, and it will likewise suc- ceed. Letit be apparent, as it is with him, that the wishes and amusement of the public are the first thing thought of, and the public will appreciate it properly, and not fail to reward those who study to please them. The series of attractions which have been produced at this theatre during the last few months, have seldom been equalled in thiscountry. No pains or expense has been spared. Last mghtthere were four capital pieces per- formed, the principal ones being the grand drama of the “ Mysteries of Paris,” and the melo-drama of the ‘‘ Moun- e: tain Devil;” Mr. Scott sustaining in the former the char- acter of the Chourineur, and Messrs. Coney and Blan. chard the principal characters in the latter. On Mon- day evel , We take pleasure maunouncivg that that highly popular ‘and deserving actor, Mr. John R. Scott, will take a benefit.

With such a bill, setting aside the strong claims Mr. Scott has on the play-going, public, we may expect the roof to be fairly blown off. On Tuesday evening, Mr. Bannister, also a deserving and favorite actor, author of “Putnam,” “Rookwood,” and other successful dra- mes, will takea benefit, and'a bumper it ought to, and no doubt will be. Tar Krass—“Ricanp lIl."—Nothing is talked of in the theatrical and fashionable world, at present, but the forthcoming novelty at the Park Theatre. The box sheet for Wednesday evening—the first night of Shaka- poare's “Richard I11”—already presents a formidable list of names, among which the élite of the city are register- ed. Places have oven been secured, we understand, for the third and fourth nights of representation, and we believe, for once, public expectation will not be disap- pointed. Several weeks have been spent in prepara- tions, and the tragedy will now be put upon the stage in a style of unprece plendor und magnificence. Its production will be an era in theatricals, and we ho} see “King John,” and other plays, got up in the same style. Since the arrival of Mr. les Kean in thiscountry, an extraordi rienced in theatricals—the love of the leg: has increased, le while the |.

The purpose of pley- ing haa ever been “to ww virtue her own fea- ture, scorn her own imi and the very age and body of the time, its form and pressure.” Until lately, however, but little attention bas been bestowed upon the getting up of a pl The scenery, costumes and deco- rations have frequently been of the most shabby, ridic: lous and unseemly character, and the illusion, in a m sure was therefore,necesparily lost. A new state of things, however, has happily and the production of “Richard ITL.”at the Park m: sidered asthe dawn- poright era in the history of the drama. Every scene in the piece has been expressly printed for it, from original and authentic sketches; the decora- tions, etc., all of which are of tho most gorgeous de- scription, have been taken from the highest authorities, nd the strictest attention has been paid to the costumes. ‘The engagement of the Keans is only for ten nights, how- ever, and the play must then be withdrawn. But forten nights we doubt not the e will be filled to ing by the cuniow: he fashionable, as well dent of English history, who may here gain much valuable information. Mr. Fonraxa’s Concent.—This entertainment took place last evening at the Apollo rooms. Mr. Fontana, who is favorably known as a performer and composer, played five pieces, two of which were his own composi tions. TheSLucis,” by Liszt, and the “ Huguenots,” by ‘Thalberg—both compositions of great difficulty and re quiring much physical force—were given by this talent- have heard of him this evening, he will undoubted|; make a very efficient one. The piano he played upon is a grand one, made by Chickering, and its fullness and brilliancy of tone surprised us very much.

The transactions were very limited. There is considerable excitement in the street about Erie Railroad old stock. One of the most successfui corners has been got up in this stock, and those shy will be compelled to pay any difference that may required, unless some arrangements are made to seRie up otherwise. ‘The points raised by the parties interested in relation to the corner in Erie Railroad stock, will be decided on Monday. The Board of Brokers have indefinitely post- poned action upon the subject, and it is probable that the differences may be compromised. The shorts cannet get the old stock to deliver, and it is possible they may offer the new stock, and if it is refused, refer the matter to the Board of Brokers for’arbitration. The shorts are picking up every lot they can find, both great ‘and small, ‘and they will reduce their contracts as much as possible before the final settling day. Those not rexponsible, will liquidate their coatracts by sacrificing their seats at the board ; and the receivers depend upon the stronge: shorts for their profits in the operation, and it is very lucky for them that the principal brokers in the street, short of this stock, are able to pay up the difference. An ordinary speculator would break down under ‘the operation. The great bull in Norwith and Worcester, will probably loso every dollar he made in that stock, in paying up his differences in Erie Railroad. The President and Directors of the Chesapeake Bank, Baltimore, have declared a dividend of three per cent for the last six months. ‘The Franklin Insurance Company of Boston have de” clared a dividend of six per cent, payable to day. ‘Tho Salem (West Je.sey) Bank has declared a semi- annual dividend of three per cent.

The Western Railroad Compa- ny can transpert passengers from Boston to Albany, and vice versa, at the rate 0! two cents per mile, or four dol - lars ($4) through, and make more money than they do at the present price, six dollars. ‘The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal is rapidly progressing to completion.

Avery importent decision in relation to tax titles it the State of illinois, has lately been made in the United was made for an aciion of ejectment, brought by an indi- vidual claiming under the patent title, against the person in possession, who claimed under a tax title. The de- fendaut set up a deed made for the sale of lands for taxes, under the revenue laws of 1833-39. The land had been sold by one sheriff, and the deed was made by his suc- cessor in office. The objecti ns taken to the tax title deod were, that under the revenue laws of 1838-89, # | form bad been prescribed for a deed, which could only © land ; and that e executed by the sheriff who sold there was no provision, in this re law, authorizing the successor of the sheriff to execute the deed. This ebjection was sustained by his honor, Judge Pope, and the deed ruled out. There are without doubt a great many tex title deeds in precisely the same position as the one in question ; and if the view taken by the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Illinois, be sustained by the Supreme Court ef the United Sta gTedt many tax titles throughout the State must inevi ably prove valueless.
