NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Thursday, January 22, 1946, Notice to Subser! Subscribers in the country, receiving thoir paper in a yellow evelope, will understand that their subscription for the paper has nearly expired THE NEWS FROM EUROPE. The Expresses andthe Storm. ‘The excitement in the city relative to the expected news from Europe, increases. The steamer is in her eighteenth day, and if she remains out much long the public excitement will reach a state of anxiety most unparalleled. There are two or three expresses, arranged by differ- ent individuals and establishments—for the government, the newspapers, and the speculators.—and if the steamer reached Boston yesterday, the messengers must have had @ desporate time in making their way with their despatches through the terrible snow storm that raged throughout the day ‘There is one express to be started, on the arrival of the steamer, which will probably result fatally to two or three lives. The three carrier pigeons, if let loose yes- terday, have probably disappeared among the snow flukes ; but what care the speculators for the poor pigeons ? itisto be hoped that we shall receive some accounts of the steamer to day. Mexican Affairs—Our Relations with that Republic, The beautiful Duchess of Devonshire remarked of a very distinguished navigator, ‘that he had been round the world, but never in it ;” and this bon mot we consider quite applicable to the diplomatic repre. sentatives of this government who, for the last ten years, have been sent to Mexico. It is true, they saw the country irom Vera Cruz to the capital— they learnt to say “ Buena noche Senor,” to their Spanish frends—(for most of them have been igno- rant of the language,) and gloried at a cock-pit and gloated over a ruin—and that’s all. They could not study the institutions of the country—they saw not the spider web of English influence that was spin- ning and being fasteged in every portion of that un” happy land—and by the time they learnt the lan- guage, they returned home ; this has been the Al- pha and Omega of their representation. Meanwhile, we now find ‘ourselves in a very unpleasant situa” tion, awkward as it could be made by England’s influence. All eyes are now directed to the land of the Aztecs, and we abound in the most conflicting hear-says of the opinions of men and events in that distracted empire. One tells us that President Herrera has called upon the United States to furnish men and means to support the present government against the pronunciamento of Gen. Paredes. Anoth- er, that England has loaned Gen. Paredes fifteen mil- lions of dollars to carry on the new revolution with. Another, that an arrangement was made by Eng- land with France, thata French Prince should be seated upon the throne of Mexico—and that Santa Anna is to be Grand Marshal of the Empire—which course it 18 known thathe favors. But owing to the complete inefficiency of many of the ministers, our government hardly know what to depend upen in the present crisis. If we are not very much mis- taken, the tide of public interest will be concentrated upon the present transition state of that Republic— and without a decided expression of our govern- ment upon this subject, we shall see the bloody tragedy of Poland enacted in the new world. Our information in these matters is derived from a gentleman who has spent years in the capi- tal, and has carefully watched events with a calin and discriminating eye, and has drawn conclu- sions that so tar have been verified to the letter.— We think, however, that Mr. Slidell is not equal to the task that he has to perform, and may go a little too far, if he has the power of minister extraordina- ry and plenipotentiary granted him, as his brother did in our navy, who executed young Spencer in so summary a manner. Yet, if the Senate does not confirm him, Mr. Polk wif have a chance to correct the faux pas of his appointment. We hope for the best, and consider that though General Paredes may refuse to treat with the present representative of our government there, yet that we have even gain- ed by the change. The new star in Mexico, Paredes, is a man who has an admiration for the genius and enterprise of our country, that served him as a quiet home in his exile ; he speaks our language with considerable fluency, and in all his intercourse with citi- zens of the United States, he has always shown the respect and love he bore the land of Washington. We consider the idle speculations that we hear fgom Mexico as rather improbable— and perhaps the very grounds of them are the despatches from that Republic of the rumors with which Herrera’s friends have filled the ears of our Minister, to prejudice him against Gen. Paredes. If so, it is not the first budget of scandal that has been received officially.— The extreme ignorance that the government or- gan manifests upon this subject is a matter of great astonishment to many of our intelligent citizens, and now the great events that hang upon the disposition of the Mexican Republic will mate- rially affect the whole civilized world. The English Minister at Washington keeps his government appris- ed of every movement made in that direction, and the English press already consider that the existence of Mexico as a nation is drawing toa close. Our peo- ple have never taken into consideration the true worth of that unhappy empire—her immense wealth—her untold resources—her variety of cli- mate—productiveness, and that she this moment afiords nearly half of the bullion of the world, and now her mines are at their lowest ebb, owing to the unsettled state of the country. She is, indeed, a prize worth fighting for, and when the conflict comes wt) England, it will be fought in the Gulf of Mexico, and not in Oregon. Mexico has means in herself of paying for all the battles that have been fought in Europe, for the last hundred years. Now is our time to thwart English influence, and to make a strong effort to get her from the slough of despond in which she is now wallowing, environed as she is, by the meshes of foreign debts and foreign interterence. This impression we are confident can be made, when the right means are taken. The priesthood of the republic have a loathing for the millitary rulers, and fear that their two hundred millions of proper- ty may be used to pay off the government’s debt, and they be as destitute as the disciples of old—and they are rife for a change—and through them much good could be effected. We consider General Paredes the man of their choice, or his success would not have been so pertect as it seemed to have been at the late dates. The northern provinces of Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, Chihuahua, Senora and Zaceteas, are already in a state worse than revolt, from the ravages of the warlike hordes of Indians that infest their borders; and already some of the papers of the capital look upon the power of the central government over them asat an end, and predict the unmediate indepeadence of the northern departneats. Such is the torn state of this misera- ble republie—with the burden of enormous foreign jebis, and the claws of the British lion already tearing her heart core. Nextto England, news from this ill-tated jand is looked for with the great- est interest ; and i may not be impossible that an amicable settlement with England may be the sur- est means of ending our ditficulty there—such 1s the omnipotence and omniscience of her ma- chiavelian diplomacy. We leave this subject, in the belief that our government will use the proper men and means to bring about the grand result of set- ting our Texan boundary amicably, as weil as ex- tending, in all proper ways, the area of the freedom of our blessed country, even though it be to the ends of the earth. , | street, the whole community looks on with unaf- ~ | fected contempt, upon the efforts of these journals Persecution of the New York Pilots. The Wall street journals continue their bitter and malignant warfare upon the honest and hard work- ing pilots of this port, and endeavor to make some show of reason for this persecution, by getting cer- tificates and silly statements from bar-keepers, | agents, and cthers, who know little of the subject, or the real facts of the case. The piteous appeals of these lazy and imbecile journals to the mer- chants, asking them to join them in their persecu- ton against this body of hard working and enter- prising men, will be properly estimated in every quarter of respectability and independence. With the exception of a few of the :mmediate retainers | of the Wall street prints, and those connected with aclique of overbearing stock-jobbers in the same to account for their not publishing the recent im- | | portant news, and only mingle their contempt occa- sionally with sneers and laughter at their imbecile and empty passion. One of the principal arguments of these lazy jour- nals is, that in consequence of their not finding or searching for their own packages or letters in the Post Office, and other circumstances, the Govern- ment and the country were kept out of the important intelligence which arrived by the ship Liberty, one day. ‘The fact is otherwise; and but for the enter- prise of the pilots—an enterprise unabated for seve- ral years past—this intelligence would not have been received in New York until Monday morning, at the soonest, instead of on Sunday afternoon, as it was. The country, the government, andthe commu- nity at large, are indebted to the unwearied enter- prise of the New York pilots, properly3directed, in various ways, for the speedy reception of the most important intelligence which has been received for years past at this port. In combination with the en- terprise which has urged these pilots to cruize a hundred miles at sea, we have frequently been at vast expense in running expresses from different parts of Long Island to this city, by which the whole country, South and West, have, in a variety of in- stances, received important intelligence, deeply af- fecting the interests of the country, one day earlier than they would otherwise have received it, if left to the undivided, unequalled and unparalleled imbe- cility of the journalists in Wall street. And further—this system of enterprise wil! be continued with unabated ardor, in spite of all the weak and impotent threats from Wall street, backed with all the influence of that street of cheatery, Troguery and impudence. For nearly ten years past, a cligue of purse-proud underwriters, in conjunction with these journals, have endeavored to break down and destroy the means of support of the New York pilots—a body of men, in point of enterprise and integrity, equal to any body of men in this country. The long explod- ed and false stories of the Mexico and Bristol are revived, in order to prejudice the public against this hardy and enterprising set of men, who have en- countered more danger in protecting the property of the merchants of New York, than all the rest of the community. The impotent threats of these jour- nals and the clique which backs them, will show | Congress the efficiency and independence of the New York pilots, when their case 1s brought before that body. This much on the pilots. They are able to take care of themselves. They have withstood the op” position of Wall street for ten long years, and are able to continue to withstand that opposition, backed with that impudent elique, for ten more. | Thus also it is with,the Herald. We are not yet Waterlooed. We have} hardly yet passed the Alps; | but we expect soon to meet the Wall street jour- | nalists at the terrible bridge of Lodi. Ten years | ago, when we started a piece of newspaper enter- prise inthe new and energetic spirit which cha racterises the glorious land we live in, we made an | ™ aftidavit, price one shilling, that we never would | give up, never say “die,” until there was a com- | plete revolution in the science and practice of jour- nalism in this city and country, even if we had to | exterminate for ever the Wall street press, and | walk over their bare bones to glory. We have | created around us in the neighborhood where we are located, anew race of newspapers, which have long since passed Thermopyle, and which will soon beable to say to the Wall street journals, Fit Ilium. Let them remember that as yet, but } one half of our enterprise is developed. Let them | remember this and tremble. | Tue Conn Law Onisis 1x Enotanp.—There seems to bea great difference of opinion among | the mewspaper press, relative to the tendency or | upshot of the corn law-crisis in England, and the | change of the British ministry, and the great and important items of interest which came by the last arrivals from that country. In many quarters the | idea is put forth that Lord John Russel, the new | Premier, as soon as the Cabinet is organized, wil; | forthwith open the ports, “and make the trade in | | corn free. We are by no means disposed to be- | lieve that thatis the correct solution of the crisis | there, and we will explain ourselves in a few words. The present crisis in England is much more | vital and important than it appears to be. It is as | radical, as exciting, and as impocrant, as the great | reform crisis, which took place several years since. Outrage npon Public Morals and Public Decency. On Tuesday evening of this week a most astound. ing and shocking outrage was committed upon the public morals and public decency, such as never be. fore wag perpetrated in a Christian community—in aland which acknowledges the truth, and bows with reverence at the sacred volumes of the Old and New Testaments. We do not mean to mince our words; for it is not a time to palter or refine. This community will remember what an excite- ment was created, some few weeks since, by the disappearance of Gough, a professed temperance lecturer. It will also remember a second excite- ment, whick: followed the first, by the discovery that he had been engaged an entire week, during his dis- appearance, in revelries and debauchenies, con- tinued both night and day, im a house of the vilest | tq fact, the reform bill was merely an entering prostitution in Walker street. It will also be re” wedge, naturally leading to the great practical mea- | membered that after this broad, staring discovery | sure which was demanded by the manufacturing of his principles and character, he yet had the su- | interests of that country, and which 18 embraced perlative impudence to come before a civilized and | in the modification of the corn laws. The reform moral community, and most impudently (after he | measure was merely the seed which was planted had, as the saying is, “acknowledged the corn,”) | Fteen years ago, and which has grown up till it | numbhr of ladies being in attendance. ‘‘ Richard III.” persist again in coming forward asa public teacher of temperance and morality. One would suppose that such a man would bury himeelf in retirement, and quietly endeavor to work out his own reforma- | tion, such as his own confessions seem to point out | as necessary. One would think that he would re. ture from the world, and not again so soon obtrude himself upon the community as a teacher, when his | own conduct, by his own confession, exhibited no- thing but the most beastly intoxication, in the midst | of harlots, in one of the most infamous houses in New York. Yet, notwithstanding all these things, we find ina journal of this city, the following report of the re- markable scene which the Tabernacle (a reputed religious house, in Broadway) exhibited on the re-appearance of this person :— Temrenance Anniversany.—The Tabernacle was closely filled last evening at the annive: of the Daughters of Temperance, an association which has been founded about atwelvemonth. Ex-Mayor Harper called th perembly. oer anda short address from Rev. Dr. Patton introduced the exercises. He was aware, he said, that the vast and dense audi- ence had been drawn together for one object, to hear once more one who had often addressed them; to express their sympathy for one who has been in deep waters, and who has come out by the blessing of God to speak again. Dr. Patton then proceeded to illustrate the two posi- tions—that religion cannot do witheut temperance, that temperance cannot do without religion. In respect to the latter, he said—There is nothing in simple bodily suffering that will hol ympathies of men. What i ould make it their grand o ry and temporal wretchedns f those to whom they send their minis- ters—how much money would ay ft 7 how Jang would they retain the sympathies of the community We must look at the spiritual nature of the inebriate, as well as at his tem Aigrediic, not indeed as secta- Haney but in the fight of the grand truths of another world. After one or two songs, and a 5; Hanson, whom Dr. P. intreduced, aid, to help him out, Dr. Thomas Hunt, the famous rance lecturer, addressed the audience ina short and pithy speech, de- signed to show that no person cugaged in the sale of liquor could by his business merely, prove his claim to respectability. Mr. Gong y OD cabin 8 stand, was received with come, said he, not to plead my own cause, who sent for me to address them, did not todo that. What am I or any other man in ef temperance?

Z The exercises of th ning concluded with the pre- sentation of a silver cup to Mr. Harper by Rev. Mr. Poi. sal, in the name of the Daughters of Temperance, to which Mr, Harper responded in a brief, off-hand speech. Here we find a spectacle which must astonish not only this community—not only all this civilized country, or any other country wherever the account may come, throughout the Christian world—but it would seem that even the very angels in heaven must revolt at such a singular, such a wicked, such & premeditated outrage against decency and morals, | asisexhibited inthis assembly.

We think we shall be able to show that Mr. Morris is completely ignorant of his own business; and in fact, 18 in some measure incompetent to perform its duti ‘We shall lay aside all his sudden hostility to the pilots, and to the pains he takes to conciliate he Wall street journalists, (who used to call him “ aper-snatcher,”) without assigning any other mo- t, es further than a culpable excess of amiable weak- n #8, or a surplus deposit of intellectual imbecility.

Ausany Express Line.—We are constantly in- debted to Messrs. Livingston and Wells for the earliest intelligence from Albany. Their express line for the transaction of all sorts of business at the North and West, is of the greatest value to the mer- cantile community. Tue Packet Sarr Qugen or THe Wast.—This fine ship, under the command of Capt. Woodhouse, will not sail till to-morrow for Liverpool. She will probably carry out the answer to the despatches that are expected by the steamer. The Gladiator, for | London, will sail to-day.

Has virtue no existence? Such are | the questions which must present themselves to every | one of fine sensibilities and correct principles has produced this crisis on the corn laws, as its fruit, involying a radical revolution in the distribu- tion of property in that country. It will bring on a conflict between the two great classes—a conflict between the aristocratic and landed interests on one side, and the commercial and manufacturing interests, on the other—a conflict that will shake the kingdom to its centre—a conflict not to be set- tled in a day, by the formatien of a Cabinet, nor in the space of a week, nor a month. Now, what is the prospect? What is the pro- bable issue of the present crisis in England ? Lord John Russell, on assuming the Premiership, will call the Parliament together in a few days—a proposition to repeal the corn laws will be intro- duced into the House of Commons, and as that House was elected under conservative principles, the bill will not pass, and the Ministry will be de- feated. This will lead toa dissolution of that body. | There will be more time spent—the country will get excited, and several weeks will elapse before another is organized; and when the great conflict does take place, it will shake the country through all its props and supports. The landed interest will be opposed to the manufacturing interest, and before the con. flict is terminated, it will bring up radical notions of every kind, which will threaten the sta bility of the empire, and perhaps break out in outbursts simi- lar to those that occurred in the sixteenth century. The new House of Commons will be elected—the corn law question will be again called up, and under the most favorable supposition, if it pass that body, | it will be defeated 1m the House of Lords, and per- haps the two Houses will be arrayed against each other, and will have recourse to physical force, be- fore the conflict is terminated. It will be seen, therefore, that the present crisis in England will embrace a period of time (nearly a year) before the excitement and agitation will cease. In this crisis, we believe that the Oregsn question willbe looked upon as a subordinate one, and we expect that the President’s message, in the midst of | the excitement there on their domestic affairs, will receive but a passing commentary. This we believe is the most correct and accurate view of the present crisis in affairs in England. Stneucar Tueatrica Reviva.—An extraordi- nary revival has lately been experienced in theatri- cals in this city. “Richard III.,” which has been got up by the management of Park Tyeatre in a style of great splendor, and with the utmost fidelity of his toric illustration, has now been played thirteen suc- cessive nights to obrilliant and crowded houses. Hundreds who never entered the walls of a theatre before, have been attracted by this celebrated dra- matic spectacle—the fashionable world, as well as the inveterate playgoers, crowding the house nightly, and going away astonished and delighted with the gorgeous pageant presented for their judgment. Although Mr. Kean, who sustains the leading cha- racter in the play, has become nearly exhausted by the arduous duties devolving upon him, the interest at first manifested has not abated, but the audience call for him nightly, and demand a repetition of the performance every evening this week. Mrs. Kean’ too, has been laboring under a severe cold, the result’ no doubt, of playinga heavy part every night, though we understand she is now recovering. A singular and curious state of things is here pre sented. The houses have averaged for thirteen nights of “Richard,” abeut $1,000, making already $13,000—and the critics, many of whom had made up their minds to tear Mr. Kean to pieces, have been completely struck dumb. They could not re- sist the loud thunder of the popular voice, and have, therefore, after a miserable attempt to ridicule the play, become silent. In consequence of the extraordinary success at- tending the production of ‘Richard III,” we learn that the management of the Park will bring out, during the next engagement of the Keans, “ King John” and other plays, in the same magnifi- when he sees such a person openly encouraged, and | cent style. 5 invited to be a moral teacher, and paraded before | The Bowery Theatre, too, in another part of the the world as a spotless character.

But above all, have the amiable, lovely and virtuous daughters of temperance no sensibili- ties towards virtue—no feeling for purity—no re- gard for their spotless and refined souls? We pause for a reply. New Yorx Srate Muuitia.—By the report of the Adjutant General of the State, furnished to the Ex- ecutive from the returns of the year 1845, it appears the whole number of militia subject to military duty is 162,416, or six per cent. of the whole population. Of this number, 11 belong to the General Staff, 3,849 to the Cavalry;£9,369 to the Artillery ; 141,496 | to the Infantry ; 4,276 Riflemen, and 3,496 of Artil- lery attached to the Infantry. These returns do not at all approach correctness; for, from the bad odor that our militia law is in wi the majority of our citizens, it is evident that no reli- ance ought to be placed on the‘official statements: Indeed, this is evident, when we compare the re- turns of last year with those of any year for a se- ties back. For example, in the year 1825, when the population of the State was only 1,616,458, the re- turns showed that 146,805 of that number were lia- ble to militia duty, or 9 per cent of the whole.— While in 1845, with a population of 2,604,495, we have only 162,416 returned bject to duty, or 6 per cent of the whole ; a diminution, compared with the ratio of population, of 33} per cent. If we add this per cent to the return furnished by the Adjutant General, we will have an amount something near being correct. This would make, of persons liable to do military|duty, 216,554, in time of peace, be- tween the ages of 18 and 45. There are, however, alarge number‘of others, not included in this esti- mate, who would be liable to do military duty in case of actual war. By the present national and State laws, non-com- missioned officers, musicians and privates of uni- form companies, sailors on our lakes and on the seas, firemen, canal boatmen, stadents, &ec., are all exempt from military duty in time of peace— but who would be liable in time of war. It would be a reasonable computation: to set down those exempt, at 30,000, and that amount, added to the other total,would make an aggregate total of 246,000 persons in the State of New York, liable to do military duty. This 1s a moderate estimate of the physical resources of this State, and it shows con- elusively that, in case of any emergency,we have no | danger to be alarmed at any force that might be brought against us. The great internal improvements of this State, | her canals and railroads, would enable us to con- been refused by the hore government. recommends the project of a railroad fro: | Quebec and Montreal. rere centrate an army of 50,000, at any point, at a few days notice. | no noise. | On the whole, the legitimate drama has not been 80 prosperous in ten years past in New York, as it is | at this moment in the two metropolitan theatres, the Park and the Bowery.

The stock operations of these two houses have been governed by the views cach have taken of the course of public events. They have frequently been opposed to each other, and in some instances considerable feeling has been exhibited in the course of their efforts to inflate and depress prices. These feelings have been exhibited very recently to a greater extent than usual, upon the differences growing out of the Erie Railroad corner, in which Jacob Little & Co. were shorts, and Jaudon & C receivers, The position ix which these concerns were placed upon this question, the large amount at issue, and the bitter feelings created by the successful operations of Little & Co. in Norwich and Worcester—and the large ‘amounts paid by the bears to the bulls in that stock, ten- ded to bring forward an opposition from the receivers, that bid fair at one time to create a dissolution of the was another case of cow- ysterday, at the corner of ver uite a large man was the street, and seized a little man by the collar, and drawings cow-hide from his pocket, commenced belaboring the little man most lustily.

What it all meant we could not find out. Cow-hiding is getting quite common in this good city.
