NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Saturday, January 17, 1546 IMPORTANCE OF THE NEXT NEWS FROM EUROPE. GOVERNMENT EXPRESS. It is true, the statements to the contrary notwithstand- ing, that the Government will run a special express from Boston on the arrival of the next steam ship. The news to arrive in her will be of so important a character that this step is deemed necessary, in the present excitedjstate of the public mind The steamer is now in her thirteenth day, and she may be expected to arrive at any moment after to-morrow. In the mean time, however, two or three more of our splendid packets may reach this city, with later in- telligence. ‘The following may be considered due :— Packets To Axaive. Captains. Whence.

The accounts received jwithin the last few days has sharpened the appetite of the public for more news. The Weekly Herald. This week’s number will be unusually interest- ing. In addition to the regular news, it will contain the late important foreign intelligence received by the packet ships, and likewise the two lectures delivered by the celebrated Dr. Ryder, at St. Peter’s Church. ‘There will be two splendid engravings, one a repre- sentation of Mr. Kean as Richard the Third, as now to be seen at the Park Theatre, and the other a view of the Harlem Railroad Bridge.

The News from England—The Repeal of the Corn Laws- The accounts we have received from Great | Britain, by the recent arrivals, have been of a very important nature. Notwithstanding the very contradictory manner in which they come, there is sufficient to establish the fact that gréat changes are about being made in the commercial policy of Eng- Jand. Some of the English papers may be rather premature in their statements, and some of their as- sertions may be greatly exaggerated; fbut that there | ts some foundation for the announcement made in the London Times, no one understanding the posi- tion and policy of that paper, can for a moment doubt. The first gun let off by the Temes upon this question came so unéxpectedly, and with such force, | that it startled the whole country, and created a re- verberation that made both parties tremble. It ap- | pears that even the Ministry were ehaken in the re- sdlution formed, and wavered, deliberating whether it was best to proceed upon the determination form- ed, or maintain a “ masterly inactivity,” and let cir- | cumstances work out events. There was very little unanimity among the different individuals composing the Ministry of Great Britain, and it was probable that a change of some importance would be made, before any movement in relation to the corn laws was made, or before the meeting | of Parliament. From all we can gather from | the conflicting statements put forth by the organs | of the different parties in England, we cannot re- | sistthe conclusion, that the corn law question will | be settled by the Parliament,, now in session; that the present corn laws will be'repealed, and a mode. rate fixed duty upon foreign grains established. The | Jower house of the British Parliament will dispose | of the matter without much trouble, but the fate of any bill reducing the duty upon foreign grain, in the House of Lords, is a more serious affair, and willbe involved in much doubt and uncertainty un- | til the last moment. The opposition of the Duke of | ¢f agente, in order that they may succeed in reach- | concerts in London, at the Assem| Wellington to the measure ,in all the cabinet meet- ings, created great anxiety in the minds -of the friends of the repeal; as, without his support in the upper house, the repeal is utterly out of the ques- tion. It will be a difficult matter to get it through that body, even, with his support; but without it, there isno chance. This is admitted by all. A repeal of the corn laws of England, and the adoption of a low fixed duty on foreign grain, will jead to acomplete revolution in the commercial sys- tems of this and other nations. We learn that our | Minister in London is engaged in negotiations in relation to this matter, and we are prepared to re- ceive at any time the announcement that a treaty between the United States and Great Britain has been concluded, entirely of a commercial charac- | ter, opening the ports of each for the products and | manufactures of the other, upon more liberal and | advantageous terms than any yet proposed. The | closer these two nations can be brought to each | other in the pursuits of commerce, the danger o any rupture becomes reduced, and the greater the interest each has in maintaining peaceful relations. ‘The conservative, or middle party, in the Senate, | has this in view; and as they hold the balance of power, they will, without doubt, accomplish | their object. The course Mr. Calhoun is pur- | suing, has this end in view, and he will make every | honorable sacrifice to bring about such a desirable | result. With him an adjustment of the Oregon question is an affair of time, and a secondary con- | sideration, compared with the_modification of our | tariff, and a thorough change in our commercial | systems. He takes a more extended view of the | questions at issue ; knowing that, if we can give | Great Britain greater advantages in a commercial point of view than she now enjoys, the settlement of other matters, now looked upon as very difficult, will become very easy, as the influence on both sides of the Atlantic, in favor of peace, will be very much strengthened, and many of the differences | now existing will become very much softened. The | policy of Mr. Celhoun will undoubtedly prevail, so far as the movements of our government are con- cerned; and while it will tend to preserve our peaceful relations with Great Britain, it will secure | to us commercial advantages greater and more | valuable than we have ever yet enjoyed. PouiticaL ANTI-RENTISM.—MOovEMENTS IN THE | LuaisLaturk —We notice in the proceedings of the Legislature at Albany, that the anti-rent ques- tion has been again brought up incidentally in the House, where it has created some excitement. We observe with regret, a disposition in some | quarters to make this matter a party business, and to legislate, not witha strict and faithful view | to its intrinsic merits, and the best interests of the State—not with a view to arrange and settle these | social difficulties judicially, and with none other | but an equitable regard to the rights of both parties, | but with the intention of flattering the passions and feeding the hopes of one side or the other, for the ereetion of party power, and for the accession of political strength in coming elections. He, we care not who he may be, or to what party he may belong, who stoops from the high eminence of a public le sislator, to flatter the passions and attract the fa vor of any men, or of isolated bodies of men, in matters of private and local interest, in order, by aid of their influence, to acquire political or party power, is unworthy the name and fiigh trust of a legislator or statesman. ‘These troubles, which in truth are of a domestic, not of a public or political character, requiring to be settled by the law and the courts of law, not by the votes of the people, or the popular impulse or impression, at the election of Governor or other officers—these troubles have al- ready inflicted upon the State a great pecuniary toss; but that loss and damage will be far exceeded by the deeper,wound, the moral injury,which will be intheted on our State, if this judicial question be taken out of its legitimate sphere, and made use of ' ; means of any kind, and incupable of providing for as a party lever, and as a stepping stone for political ambition or cupidity. Such ought not to be ; and we would in time give warning against the danger of such action, which will eventually recoil with disgrace and ruin upon the heads of those, if any, who shall be guilty of 1t. Our legislators at Albany have a public duty to per. form, and included in that duty is that of adjusting and tranquillizing such difficulties as these, on the broad principles of equity and justice, without re- gard to the political weight, influence, or numbers of the parties concerned. Let them do their duty, and the people and the State will know how to ap preciate and reward their services. Enrorant Pavrers—Ovtraggovus TREATMENT.— The Legislature of this State thought proper to pass an enactment, requiring the owners and agents of vessels, engaged in conveying emigrants to our shores, to give bonds, so as to prevent the State be- | ing burdened with the support of paupers. This is a wholesome regulation, and no dispute can be raised against it. Those foreigners who come to this country have no claim on our charities. It is enough for us to provide for eur own paupers, with- out being burdened with the support of such a® come from Europe. This law compels emigrant agents to give bonds for the support of their passen- gers for two years after their arrival here, on the supposition, we expect, that it weuld take that time before they would be sufficiently acquainted with the manners of the people and the custom of the country, to find out the way of providing for themselves. So long, therefore,. as this law is in existence, no need exists for having pauper emigrants inmates of our almshouses, at least for two years after their arrival. We have been induced to make these remarks, in order to apprize those emigrants landing on our | shores of their rights in this respect, as they cannot be expected to know anything about the subject by intuition. It cannot be supposed that those agents who are instrumental in soliciting them to leave | {h¢,l/P,of beauty to languid eye. | Fashionable Intelligence | The fashionable world is still busy with preparations for rendering the present season more brilliant and gay than all former ones. Several balls, parties, soirées, etc, have already taken place within the precincts of fashion, | and other demonstrations will shortly be made. On ‘Thursday night last a rich and gay old bachelor, eele- brated for his joyous humor and good taste—excepting his devotion to single blessedness —gave a grand party at his aristocratic mansiog in Park place. The rooms were brilliantly illuminated and gorgeously but tastefully fur, nished. All that art could devise was put in requisition, at between | in order to render the salons worthy of Fashion and her | glittering train. The heart of the bachelor host has ever-been susceptib! fascinatiens of beauty; and all that was lovely, refined, graceful and witty had been invited. Like his own Fa nod concer ae the Foy A pememee af ant variegated appearanc 'roops o| - ing, mi bright eyed demoiselles—the young and the old, the serious and the gay, the artificial beanty and the simph of nature, the slender waisted iy inde éii lass, and the blooming Hebe, animated features be- spoke a more ruddy and robust health, were here as- sembled, to impart additional lustre to the scene. Around them bpvered gallent, ardent and chivalrous young | bachelors, profuse in their compliments and smiles, while the den mot, the gentle inuendo, the sparkling dou- ble entendre circulate and scintillate around.

A very hard case was brought to our notice a few days ago; it happened to be that of an Irish woman who had recently land- edin New York. She came here on a wild-goose | chase, like many of her countrymen and women. | of morn gilds with fragrant touch the gerd mantle of night, ere the company separate, with many protesta- tions that it was truly a most brilliant and agreeable soirée. ‘Theatrical, Panx.—The Park'last night shone brilliantly , with the Pa ® — Intelligence. Sess nA att Pox.—We see placards up in diferent parts the city warning ns of the necessity of vaccination ‘as apreventive of small pox. We hope that this good advice willbe heeded by all classes of persons. Foral- though there may be no immediate necessity for this, in acity like New York, where e' day the con! is liable to be introduced, persons should always oe pared for it. Parents, particularly, ‘ought to have their fants vaccinated at an earl: Once properly dene, | ugh life.

An ounce of preventive is worth a pound of cure. Caution To Gnocens.—A gang of about twenty boys, | from the ages of twelve up to twenty years, congregate | at the Five Points, and have their rendezvous at two particular houses inthat locality. They are known to | | the police by the name of “ Till Boys,” and are mostly gool looking lads and generally well dressed. The eldest boys, or those who have arrived at eighteen or | wear a frock cost ora black or blue | body coat; but the round jacket and cloth cap are distinguishing marks of the younger members it is an insurance thi pensarii Corporation bp: of the squad. Their depredations are generally con fined to robbing money drawers, and wach | light articles as they meet on t! modus operandi is, to go out through the city in smell squads; juad consisting of one and sometim: two oars, headed by one of the eldest boys, who al- carries a basket on his arm. When they mark « store, which 1s generally a corner one, opening ontwo streets, the fellow with the basket bags =e in and asks to buy omething —always taking care that whatever he asks for is on the sidewalk, and points towards it. The storekeeper is wheedied out, and the customer begins to chaffer with him about the price of a peck of c’ coal, or some other trifling article. The juvenile, who is supplied with achisel, stations himself at the other corner, watching his opportunity, and when he finds his comrade and the storekeeper engage: lips in atthe opposite door, reaches his arm across the counter, forces open the drawer with the chisel, and carries off whatever he finds in it. When the fellow on the sidewalk, who watches the operation inside, finds it to be finished, and that his comrade has cleared out, he closes the bargain wit Fates ya and walks off with six cents worth of charcoal in his basket, taking care to turn the first corner he comes So peeag the storekeeper minus what money was in the till. game had been carried on up to about a year ago, with great success, large sums occasionally carried off—but latterly storekeepers have become wary, and do not in general leave more than two oF three dollars in loose change, and perhaps one or two small bills, in their drawers. Yet still the game is continued on a small scale, and we know that storekeepers in various of the city have of late been frequently robbed of small sums in this way—but the amount being so trifling, they do not think it worth while to take any trouble about the matter, and the young thieves continue to carry on their depredations with impunity. Now, ry one of these} fellows is known to the police; |, if any of the persons who have been or may be hereafter in this way,would call at the office of the Mayor or Chief of Po! and give a description of the fellow, his arrest would be certain in an hour after—and the arrest and conviction of one or two would be the means of breaking up the On the passage, she received some injury, by a fall? | Toveliness and beauty of the city. Notwithstanding the | whole gang. we believe, which crippled her so much that on her | to overflowing, and by one of the most fashionable, criti- arrival it incapacitated her from doing anything to- wards earning a livelihood. Being in need of me- | dical advice, and not having the means of paying | | for it, she was directed to present herself at the Me- | dical University, in Broadway, where she could get | such advice as she was in need of. She did so, and | Dr. Mott prescribed for her. The apparently desti- tute condition which the woman presented, prompt- | ed Dr. Mott, who has a heart that does honor to the species, to inquire into the cause of her destitution. In reply to his inquiries, she stated that she had re- cently arrived from Ireland ; that she was without herself, on account of the injuries she received on the passage. Dr. Mott immediately informed her that the agent of the vessel in which she came was liable for her maintenance, and directed her to apply to him | for relief, and when she was provided with a place he would attend her gratuitously. The woman made two applications to the agent without success, being told, on her second visit to him, to clear out and ne- | ver come near him again. Now thisis a hard case. | A woman is enticed to leave her country and kin- dred, her little all is taken by the passenger agent, and she is thrown on our streets, destitute and helpless, in | the midst of our rigorous winter. | None but the emigrant himeelf is aware of the | means resorted to, to entrap the lower orders of | the English, Irish, and Scotch into emigrating to | he United States. We have seen the streets of the rincipal sea ports in Great Britain, placarded with | the grossest fabrications, urging the poor people to | come to this. country, where wages are $2 a day, and beef a penny a pound, and labor abundant.— | | Such are the vile tricks made use of to entice them | to give up their little all to those sharks, the passen- | ing this El Dorado. The consequence is, that many who, in their native land, were well enough off, give | up what means of livelihood they had there, and come to America, to become inmates of our charita- | ble institutions, and a burden on our people. | In making this statement, we have not the slightest | intention, in the most remote degree, to refer to the ownereand agents of our spiendid packet ships. They who really are not agents for any ships or vessels ; are not the emigrant agents we allude to. It is those they are mere runners, who receive a compensation for every passenger they influence to come in par- ticular transient ships. Our packet ship agents and | owners are an honorable set of men, incapable of resorting to such measures as these ; they are as much alive to the frauds committed on the emi- grants as any one, and are extremely anxious that the odium should rest where it rightfully belongs. ‘We would advise such emigrants as are here at | present in want, to apply to the agent of the vessel in which they came here, to provide for them ; and if he refuse, to make applicaticn to the Alms House | Commissioners, and have the agent’s bond prosecu- | ted, and compel him to support them. | Tur News sy tar Oxrorp.—There appears to | be a good deal of chagrin manifested in one or two | of the small papers, in reference to the way the news was received from the packet ship Oxford. | One of the papers ‘is particularly savage about the | mails by this ship. The truth of the matter is, that no mail bags were landed by Captain Rathbone, and the public are indebted to him for his enterprize in | sending his news to the city in the way he did. It was with difficulty thai Mr. Yeaton, the mate, landed, and he has not yet recovered from the injury he re- ceived in getting his boat through the surf. And the idea of landing mails a hundred miles from this city, in a small boat, with a high sea running, is absurd. These prints, however, must have some excuse for not publishing late news. Comprrotixr’s Rxrort.—This document pre- sents an elaborate analysis of the financial condi- tion of every department and interest of the State | government, with that careful detail, clearness and | comprehensiveness which distinguish the reports of | Mr. Flagg. The leading features of the State finan. | ces were fully given in the message of Governor Wright, which render a repetition of them unne- | cessary. | Arrains oF THE Pitots.—The article, in another part of this day’s paper, should be read by every ship owner and holder of insurance scrip. If their eyes are not opened by the views of “Publicola,”, they | deserve to lose their sleep and money, too, on stormy nights. Tar Matvs.—What is the matter with the way- mails between here and Albany? There is grose | negligence somewhere. We are constantly receiv- | ing complaints from the river towns.

Quick PassaGe.—The packet ship Havre, Capiain Ainsworth, which sailed from New York on the 17th of November, arrived at Havre on the evening of | the 2d of December ; thus making a passage of only | fifteen days. This is, indeed, running the steamers | very close.

Bowrny Tueatae.—The inclemency of the weather last evening seriously affected the otherwise promising prospects of Masters Yeoman, for whose mutual benefit the receipts of the house were especiully designed. Knowles’s play of the ‘“ Wife,” in which Mr. J. R. Scott eppeared to very great advantage as Julian St. Pierre, with Mrs. Philips as Mariana, and Mr. Stone as Ferrardo: in the absence of Mr. Davenport, who was seriously in- disposed (although under the most disadvantageous cir” cumstances, was a creditable performance), commenced | the evening’s entertainments ; after which, the ‘‘ Dum, Girl of Genoa” was substituted for the “Gambler's Fate,” as announced (and from the cause of Mr. Daven" rt’s temporary withdrawal), and “ Tom Thumb the Breat” concluded the evening’s performances. The Bowery is to be necessarily cl is © piten ord for a full dress rehearsal of the “ Wizard of Wave,” a grand nautical drama, which has been in active pre- ration for the last two months, and which is to be pro- laced on Monday next. This will be, perhaps, one of the most s efforts which has yet dis guished the liberal and enterprising exertions of the ms- nagement of this highly popular establishment, and will largely enrich the very productive treasury of the jowery.
