NEW_YORK New York, Monday, January 26, 1846. The Spirit of the Recent News—Briliiant Commercial Prospects. We continue to present our readers with many highly interesting extracts from the English papers, and from private correspondence from Germany, all of which will enable an intelligent public to formits own opinion upon the present relations of the old to the new world; and the important and pacific character of the news which has just been received from the other side of the water. One of the first impressions which the leading public journals and private correspondence has pro- duced upon our mind, is a broad conviction--a de- cided belief of the re-establishment of the peacetu! relations tor many years to come, and the re-opening, at this day, of another great, brillant, and prosper- ous commercial career in this country. There is, indeed, a great contest upon lofty principles, and distant abstractions between the American govern- ment and people on one side, and the English, French, and other European nations on the other side. This difference of opinion, it is true, involves the very elements ot society and government them- selves; it refers tothe different views and different destinies which the people and governments of Eu- rope have, as contrasted with the feelings and desti- nies which rule among the people and governments of the western hemisphere, and particularly this great and mighty republic. The declaration of Mr. Monroe, reiterated by Mr, Polk, that henceforth the American people and gov- ernment will consider it am unfriendly act of any European government to interfere with the affairs of this continent, is the assertion of a principle which has aroused the opposition and hostility of al) the governments of Europe. It is, however, a fun- damental American principle, a high element of our existence, which enters into the constitution of so- ciety on this continent, and which can never be compromised or abandoned by the people or the government of the United States. We must, there- fore, expect hostility to this principle from all the European governments; but that very hostility only gives strength, and force, and edge to its progress, bot here and among the popular masses ot Europe. ‘These abstractions, however, and these principles which give rise to disputation between Europe and America, may cause a newspaper anda moral war of long continuance, but, it will not come into actu- al physical conflict for many years to come, nor will the present difficulty, which is but smal! compara- tively, between the United States and England, in- volve a practical breach of the public peace on either side. The impressions we have received from all the responses on the other side of the water to the assertion of our principles in the late Message, tend to confirm this view, and when the British Parlia- ment, (the French Chambers are in session,) meet, HERALD. Napotgon tN Mourninc —Tur Hoty ALLIANCE Resorcing.—The recent extraordinary express (and more extraordinary result) from Boston to this city, has produced as great excitement in Wall streetand Fulton street, and throughout this vast community, asa certain portion of the career of Napoleon did throughout Europe. After a hundred victories, in ten years, each equal to an Austerlitz, the “Napoleon of the Press” ia this country is, for once, outrun about two hours and thirteen minutes—not from want of energy, courage, funds, tactics, but by a conspiracy of the | elements, by a union of the snow spirit and the devil. And the Holy Alliance of Wall street, have | achieved a small potatoe victory for once, | But for the unexpected, beastly, brutal and barbar- | ous suow storm of last week, which laid up the rail- roads, we would, undoubtedly, have received the news by the Herald express, on Friday, P. M., at four o’clock—would have sent it South and West one day in advance of the Holy Alliance, and would have been ready to close our career, and re- | pose, for the remainder of our life, on our laurels. But the snow came, the wind blew, the ice made, and the devil assisted the Alliance, and we were somewhat outrun—not beaten—only two or three | hours, with all these disadvantages against us. | In consequence of this defeat, we, the Napoleon of the press, put our journal into deep mourning for one day, and have given directions for every one | around our establishment to wear crape on their | hats and on their left arms for the space of thirty | days. Weare also resolved on next Sunday to ex- | press our feelings in a proper way, and to prepare, by temperance, tasting, and thoughtfulness, to enter | on that new career of glory, wnich we yet fondly | hope awaits us, before we kick the bucket finally and forever. But while Fulton street is a house of mourning, there is great rejoicing in Wall street. Satan is in his glory. The Holy Alliance of the newspaper | press, that have been, for the last ten years, on one | hundred occasions, compelled to bite the dirt by our | superior enterprize, are out of their senses with joy | and rejoicing. We understand that they intend to | celebrate their victory by a splendid dinner, and have selected either Castle Garden, Hale’s Taber- nacle, or the Five Points for the féte. We also learn, from what we believe to be good authority, | that they have resolved to illuminate their windows | for three successive nights in the present week, and | at the dinner which is to be given there will be | speeches and toasts, and great rejoicing. We shall | endeavor to send a corps of reporters there, and give a full report of all the sayings and doings on the in- | teresting occasion. | Yes, let them rejoice while they may. We are | not yet quite demolished. One partial defeat toa hundred victories, in ten years, will only nerve us for the future contest ; and we give them warning, | that for the next six months they will have to en- | Tur Orgcox Necoriations Resumev.—We have seen private letters of high authority from England, Stating that the Oregon negotiations have been re- sumed—and that a new proposition has been sent | out to Mr. Pakenham to be proposed to our govern- | ment. Itis also stated that this proposition is iden- tical with the one proposed in the latest London Times of January 3, which we give in this day’s paper. It is certain that the London Times was the tirst paper in Europe which revealed the fact that Mr. Polk had offered the 49th degree last sammer— thus showing that it had access to the Cabinet se- crets of the British government to that extent. We believe the plan of settlement which that journal now sketches out will be renewed in a short time, per- haps this week, by Mr. Pakenham at Washington. A singular coincidence to this development, we find in a letter recently addressed by the Hon. Albert Gallatin to the National Intelligencer, and published last Saturday, from which we make the tollowingextract :— It is sufficiently clear that, under all the circumstan- | of the case, an amicable division of the t if | all practicable, must be founded in a great This of course must be left to t! only natural, which has occurred to river, should leave to the | and harbors ying uth, and | ine, inclu din the whole of Quadra and Vancouver's Island.

This would be fair play. Wee will take that—but we doubt that | we can take anything less. We want to make as | good a bargain as possible, without fighting, or pay- | ing to heat the poker.

Our correspondent also gives a very amusing and delightful description of musical affairs in Vienna, the musical capital of Germany. The information he gives usof De Meyer, David, Berlioz, and others, is highly interesting, and particularly so, as De Meyer, the great pianist, is now in this city, entire- ly recovered from the effects of his late accident, and ready to resume his brilhant career. His next concert, in fact, takes place on Friday evening next. Our correspondent will continue his letters from Vienna, and give us an account of all the impor- tant movements in Germany. He is in the same field of action as Willis, but his letters are far mere interesting and agreeable, as he isa young gentle- man without pretension or egotiem, but with good common sense; with just sufficient imagination and fancy to make his epistles teem with beauty, and color them as nature colors the rose | the great vocalist.

During the re- cent severe snow stornr it was the only route really able to maintain itself in a travelling condition. The cars and comfort are admirable, and reflect great credit on all concerned in its management. Trot BLE 1n ALBANY.—There is great trouble at the capital in the locofoco ranks, and also some little among the whigs. The fact is, the locofocos are in a transition state, and the Legislature will be convulsed during the whole session. Every thing is at sixes and sevens, and hardly any person knows to what party he belongs. There is a revolu- CarnivaL or New Yorg.—The sleighing season, or rather the Carnival of New York, which has been delighting every one for the last week, is rapidly drawing to aclose. Yesterday a rapid thaw com- menced, and probably the carnival will close to- morrow or next day in mud and dirt. A full and graphic description of the sleighing time, or carnival in New York, is solicited from literary contributors, and to any one who will give usa superior article, we will pay twenty dollars. Concress.—Congress will now get through the Oregon frolic as soon as possible, and get to action on the tarifi and sub-treasury, and the measures proposed by Mr. Walker, the “Little Big Thunder” of the cabinet.

It was the signal for the car- nival to commence, and it did commence in right | earnest. | Broadway and the other principal streets were filled at an early hour with vehicles on runners of all | Sorts, sizes, and descriptions.

It is packed closely full of old men—young men— merchants—clerke—tailors-—hatters—bakers—mil- ' liners—seamstresses—and, in tact, with everybody who could raise a sixpence to take a ride with. | This is the truly democratic sleigh.

But | everybody is merry and laughing, and happy. And | yet, in spite of its democracy, this 1s the handsom- | est sleigh in Broadway. It 1s thirty feet long—ele- | gantly painted and carved—the bows bending over gracefully as the neck of a swan. This is representative of one of the omnibuses, which are usually rumbling up and down the streets. Hun- dreds of these, during the carnival, dash about the city, affording all an opportunity to enjoy a sleigh- ride at a cheap rate. Here they come again—all sorts of sleighs, all sorts of horses, all sorts of peo- ple, cutting and Mike's | each other, gliding, light- | ning-like over the sparkling snow. It is a m sight. The bells are jingling tunes of the liveliest | kind. The happy voices of the young chime | in with the music. The horses keep time to it, and all are gay, laughing, buoyant and free from care as in the sunny days of child- hood’s glee—the riders are cheered, as they | shoot by, by the crowds who line both sides of the | streets, and who seem to enjoy the happiness of others as though it were their own. In the other | streets beside Broadway—in the Bowery, Chatham street and the avenues—the same scene is exhibit- ed, excepting that in these latter, the sleighs riders are generally not of so aristocratic a charac- ter. On the avenues, fine, large, splendid venicles | were seen dashing along, filled with sleighing par- ties going to Harlem, Bloomingdale, Stryker’s Bay, and all the places of resort in the vicinity of the city. From early morn till late at night, and in fact all night, for three days, was the festival kept up — Everybody enjoyed it—everybody was made happier by it, and placed on better terms with himself, and ail the world around him. ‘Lhe man rolling in wealth looked with a kindlier eye upon his poorer brothers, as he saw them, gay and jolly, cutting over the snow—and the little ragged urchin, whose ex- tent ot sleighing consisted in jumping up behind somebody’s vehicle, and riding twenty yards on the runners, blessed heaven for the snow, and wi make a better man for it. The carnival isover. The sleighs kept going, the sun ye shining, and after three days, the ranners touch the ground and scrape like files, and the hor- ses’ hoofs strike on the Paving stones.

Hanmongons.—These charming vocalists give a con- cert, tl wenkig, in Brooklyn, which will undoubtedly be well attended. They have been highly successful in this city, and deserve patronage.

It was generally considered that the news would i be ver; unfavorable, and that our markets would be hich left here with the foreign | much 4: presved after the arrival of the steamer, mstead of which the advices have been highly satisfactory, and the disappointment has been so agreeable, that a very rapid rise took place in stocks, and confidence generally has become re-established.
