NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Thursday, February 19, 1826, THE WEEKLY HERALD. The Scene of the Shipwrecks. ° The intense anxiety manifested in the publie mind to learn all the particulars connected with the dread- fal storm of the Mth instant, has induced us to ob- tain a correct view of the melancholy scene on Squan Beach nthe John Minturn, New Jersey, Register, &c, &e., ashore. This illustration of that terrible event we shall give in the Weekly He- vald of this week, with all the details of the storm, its extent, &e., &e. . ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE NEXT NEWS FROM EUROPE. We mentioned yesterday that extraordinary ef- forts had been made by the stock-jobbing press, in this and other cities, to run an express from Hali- fax, N.S., and from somewhere else, to this city, with the Cambria’s news, in order to publish it ahead of the New York Herald. 1t appears, by the following letter from a correspondent, that we have given them quite a galvanic shock :— B. Feb. 14, 1846. My Dear Sir: -A circumstance has just come to my knowledge, which { feel you should be made acquainted With, altioagh it is too late to remedy it. I hate to see you ‘Noored in your enterprise by those lazy Wall street loafers and their coadjutors, including the finu- cier of these later days. Tho facis I state, you can rely upon, and they will so prove. the Wall street press, for the purpose of de feating your express from Boston, from the Cambria, seut an egent to Portland, and chartered the steamer Kennebec, Capt. Kimball, to goto Annapolis, N. B., and there wait for the news from Halifax, per Cambria, to be forwarded by horses—distance 60 miles—and as soon as received, to leave for Portlind, where an express train is in readiness over the E. K. R. to Boston, and trom thence to New York by the Long Island Railroad. This arrangement, if nothing breaks, will give them sbout nine hours advance of the Cambria at Boston. The Kennebec is a new boat, and said to be very fast ; and, as the weather is so beautiful, she will, undoubted- ly, perform her trip within the time anticipat-d. She has, for the service, $1,700, and the whole expense of the en- terprise, as arranged by the press and stock-jobbers, as they are called, 18 $3,400. The only object, as stated by the agent who came east, is to “ floor thatd——d Bennett.” re Go ahead, Bennett; you are stirring them up, and you are beaten again: but they can't withstand your indomitable enterprise, and must ultimately yield. You will come off the victor, after all. All these arrangements—these galvanic efforts, it thus seems, are made wholly with the view to beat the ‘damned Herald.” This is the expression im the instructions to the special messenger of the combined press of four cities. The public can now form an estimate of the ener- gy and indomitable perseverance that we must have brought into requisition, when we see a combina- tion of all the stock jobbing papers in New York, Bostor, Philadelphia and Baltimore, assisted by the speculators in those four cities, and headed by their old ally, the devil, necessary to beat us in newspa- per enterprise. But we are not yetbeaten. Justice to our subscribers, and a liberal subscription list, be- yond all example in the United States, demand that we should not let the case go by default. We have made arrangements to run an express from Boston, and should our arrangements prove as perfect in their details as we hope they will, our stock-jobbing con- temporaries may have nothing to boast of, after all. Indeed, we may possibly beat them; but it is possi- ble that we may be beaten. The speculators and their press were afraid to run against our messen- ger from Boston; and hence their desperate efforts beyond that city. In the days of stock speculation, the devil is a powerful auxiliary The Oregon Resolutions in the Senate, The Oregon question seems to be assuming a tan- gible shape in the Senate. The Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations has introduced | the joint resolutions from the House, abrogating the convention of 1827, as it came from that body. It is very doubtful whether these resolutions will pass or not; itis probable that no notice resolution will | pass at present, in any shape. It is evidently the po- hey of a great number of Senators to put oif all ac- tion upon this subject as long as possible, in hopes that there may be another, and perhaps a successful, attempt made by the British government to settle the question. The probability of such a result is at present very small. Arbitration will not be attempt- ed, and the only thing left forthe two governments to do is to declare their ultimatum. There appears to be very little disposition to arrive at this point— neither party wishes to bring the matter to a crisis quite so soon as such a course would, and they therefore avoid 1t as much as possible. The resolutions introduced by the Chairman of Foreign Relations into che Senate, leave it optional with the President when to give the notice. He could put off so doing as long as he pleases, upon the plea that it would interfere with negotiations; but we have no idea that he would hesitate a moment in carrying out the spirit of these resolutions. The President has never avoided responsibility—his whole course as a public man, but particularly as Speaker of the House of Representatives, shows that he never has shrunk from assuming any respon. sibility imposed uponhim. The decided refusal of all arbitration, either as to partition of territory or as to title, is the best evidence in the world that his position, in relation to this matter, has been taken and is immoveable. We have every reason to be- lieve that the President would at once carry out the resolutions of Congress, whatever they might be, and not a moment would be lost, so far ashe was concerned, in bringing this matter to a focus as soon as possible. The concurrence of the Senate with the House of Representatives; in the notice resolutions, would settle this part of the question at once ; but should the Senate insert any restrictions in their resolu- tions, or should they only give the President power to give the notice, wader certain circumstances, they would require the concurrence of the House, and have to be again debated in that body. The lower House, rather than have no notice given atall, would doubtless agree to any thing the Senate may determine upon ; but all these difficulties—all these differences,require time; and any notice resolutions, inany shape, may not be agreed upon by both Houses until near the close of the session, if they are agreed upon at all. The Senate are, without doubt, in favor of giving the required notice, in some shape ; but it is possible, should the two Houses disagree in relation to the way and manner of giving it, that the President will not have the power to give the notice delegated to him. It is possible that the resolution giving the notice, may fall between the two Houses, and the question be left just where it now is. The resolutions introduced by Mr. Allen, were made the special order of the day for yesterday, and the public mind wiil not be kept in suspense much longer. The remarks of Mr. Colquitt, in relation to title to the whole territory, define his position in the premises, and leave no one in doubt as to the couree he will pursue in the matter. [t is possible that the idea many entertain, that giving the notice cannot be considered otherwise than as a peace measure, may induee them to vote for the resolutions as they came from the House, without alteration. It is come satisfaction to those engaged in commercial pursuits, to know that the matter will assume a shape giving them some data upon which they can form conclusions regulating their movements INTERESTING ParticuLars or Tar Storu.—We give, on the outside ot this day’s paper, some very interesting but melancholy particulars of the recent gale. They are derived from several persons who were saved from the wreck of the John Minturn and from Mrs. John J. Sproule, of this city. . Lone Istaxp Rai Roap.—This road is in excel- eat running order, and was only impeded & few hours by the late severe storm clock every morning ‘Traine leave at 7 | whole | any ARBITRATION. The course which President | Trave. ro Evropg—New Yor Packer Surs. Potk and his cabinet have pursued in re-| As our country increases in age, wealth and pppu- jecting every proposition to settle the Ore- | lation, sc increases the laudable desire of our peo- gon question by arbitration, deserves and will undoubtedly receive the approbation of the great body of the American people of all parties. It would be weakness indeed to submit this question, at this day and hour, to arbitration ; and we are sur- prised how any American can, for a moment, enter- tain such an idea. In the first place, arbitration supposes that the parties cannot agree. Now, we see no reason why the Bririvh Government and the United States should not agree, and be able to arrange this matter by friendly negotiation and mutual beneficial conces- sion. In the second place, arbitration would be a direct abandonment of all our rights, and of all our claims. Whom could we select as an impartial umpire? No European monarch can ever be made to understand our position and our rights; to leave, therefore, to such an one this question for arbitra- tion, would be an unpardonable imbecility. In the third place, arbitration would,dn its effect, be al- most the same thing as “inactivity ;” for years would elapse before the matter could be taken up, and more years still, before it could be settled Such a deley 1s not desirable, and for the following reasons :— First—Because no smothered spark of undecided quarre! should be lett slumbering, ready to burst, at any ume, into fame between two great nations, whose interest it is, as well as itis the interest of humanity, that friendly and peaceable relations should exist between them. Second—Because, when a cause of disagreement and war is left unsettled and unadjusted between nations, a political irritation is kept up between the two countries, which is injurious to both of them. As between individuals, so itis between nations: neglected and unremoved misunderstandings, how- ever trivial they may be, lead to serious difficulty, and at last, to irremediable alienation. ‘Third—Because the commercial relations of the two countries with each other, would be seriously injured by the question of war being le(t suspended upon the long and lingering process and uncertain termination of arbitration. Fourth—Because there are, in all countries, spec- ulators and restless minds, ready to foment a war between nations, for their own purposes and inter- ests. These persons, so long as any cause of mutual irritation is kept open and unsettled, willlabor to in- crease it, and urge others on to mutual exasperation, till they attain their object. They are only tobe thwarted by a speedy removal of every subject of disagreement, and the earliest adjustment of every cause of irritation. From these and other reasons, we are disposed to give much credit to Mr. Polk and his advisers, that they have peremptorily rejected the propositien of submitting this matter to foreign arbitration. In so doing, they have it in their power to settle the question amicably, and can bring it to a speedy and happy accomplishment, if they choose ; but— will they choose ? This matter is, probably, to be settled by a pass age of diplomate notes, or a passage of arms, and in the course of time Insanity FROM RELIGIOUS ExcITEMENT.—We pub- hshed, a few days since, an abstract of the third annual report of the managers of the State Lunatic Asylum at Utica. There are some curious facts exhibited in relation to the causes of insanity among the patients in the asylum Out of about 700 patients who have been admitted since the opening, 121 have been made insane by religious excitement. and anxiety. This is more than one-seventh of the number, and about treble that from other cause. That it may be seen that the religious excitement was not alto- gether of the illegitimate sort, it will be well to state that only 19 cases out of the 121 have been attributed to Millerism. What renders this fact more remarkable is, that Utica is in the centre of a great farming district, and a large pro- portion of the inmates have been engaged in agri- cultural pursuits, which are generally supposed to prevent the mind from running into undue excite- ment of any kind. In looking over the reports of various lu- natic asylums in different parts of the coun- try, we find that this proportian holds good, and ia in fact somewhat increased. This is an alarming fact, which we fear has been too much overlooked by the religious people of this coun- try, and speaks unfavorably for the manner in whieh their religious business is conducted.— A number of clergymen meet and determine upon getting up a revival, or, as itis often termed, an “‘ex- citement.” . Some fiery revival preacher, who has received areputation from the large number of con- verts he has made, ie procured, and draws large au- diences together, mainly composed of females and the young, who are of excitable temperaments. All the horrors and but few of the beauties of religion are presented vividly before their imaginations. | Every figure of speech that has atendency to har- | Tow up the soul and make the blood curdle, is used for the express purpose of causing an excitement.

Although we have attained our majority, and are bigenough to whip our mother, if need be, and are no longer sub- ject to her control, still we cannot suppress that filial affection which the God of nature implanted in our breasts, although it may be partinlly and for a time suspended by animosity and bed feeling, arising from a sense of injury done and wrong committed. These feelings, bappily, are becoming obliterated, because we wish to treat the old lady with proper respect ; the ties between the two countries are being drawn tighter and tighter, and we hope before many years, to see the feelings that relatively belong to parent aad child firmly established in either country. America and her people are no longer strangers to the English. It is no longer considered barbarian to quote an American author, or to eat an egg from a glass, as we frequently see done here.

Her bene- fit is to take place to-morrow (Friday,) when we hope to see a large and brilliant audience to greet her appear- | ance. On that occasion, in addition tothe other per- will receive formances announced in the bills, she will also intro- duce a new Spanish pas de deuz called “ Los Boleras de Cadiz ;” she will appear in this dance dressed in Spanish cestume, in male attire, representing S and will join, as such, in this dance with the beautiful Miss Emme Ince.

J the soul in futurity are pictured, and the effect be- | comes too powerful for excitable minds to with- stand. Brooding over the terrible fate that awaits them, they lose all hope, which is displaced by des- | pair, and finally reason quits the mind, and the un- happy subject becomes the victim of this worst form of madness. This has,to a greater or less extent, always been the result of revivals—so that the more discreet and sober-minded clergymen have abandon- | ed this mode of conversion. The peaceful religion of Jesus Christ never drives the soul to madness, | but falls upon the turbulent passions as gently as the snow-flakes upon the sod, and leaves it hke the whitened ground, pure and placid. These lamentable results of the too prevalent mode of making converts, ought to teach to our | clergymen the better way of instilling into the mind, instead of the horrors, the beauties of our holy réli- gion. Moratity in Monrrear.—The arrest of young Ready, recently, in this city, and his return to | and her neck and throat did strike, cut and wound, and | has departed. Montreal, have led to certain disclosures which | rank Montreal as low in the scale of morality as Paris or London. It appears that there are in that city several gambling houses, or hells, supported by the officers of the army and some high officiale— even the Aides de Camp to the Governor General of Canada—and it was in one of these abominable places that Keady was relieved of the money he abstracted from the Montreal Bank. This is one of the evils attendant upon having standing armies. Here we have proof of these fellows, with their moustaches and red coats, parading the streets as gentlemen, associating together in these abo- minable dens, and fleecing each other of all they | possess. Having exhausted each other's resources, they then entice innocent young men into their gambling holes, and relieve them of their own and their employer’s money. And these official black. legs are gentlemen, forsooth! What a glorious thing it 1s that we have no such fungi growing on our body politic! 2 Maoretiam anp Marrimony.—We learn that the magnetic telegraph from Lowell to Boston, is com- pleted, apd will be in operation ina day or two. There is a feature connected with this line that we hike very much. It seems that a Mise Sarah G. Bagley is selected as superintendent atthe Lowell depot. This is undoubted! for females, aud we hope the example will be fol- lowed by other lines, and wherever it is possible to employ females, that they may get the preference. They never speculate in any thing but matrimony and they, therefore, can safely be trusted by mock. jobbers and others. —— Common Corwcit.—There will be a special meet- ing of the Board of Aldermen thie evening, com , Menoing at 7 o’elook | ly a very nice occupation | i N.

B: | he resolved to receive the money, and accordingly the money ($400) was paid to him this morning at Buchler’s, in the presence of Mr. Buchler, and put up in a package, which was laid by Mr. Piollet at the close of his rem: jpeaker’s de: Mr. Burrill then ed thai y Mr. Piollett, as andhe therefore offered a preambie, facts ; accompanied by a resolution, providing for the appointment of a special committee to investigate the | facts and report to the House, with power to send for | persons papers, which was agreed to, and the | ee appointed Messrs.

In a former communication, I said that the insurers would not find that having four cables and anchors made a vessel unseaworthy, and that experience would prove that jerk beet was not “an article deemed perishable within the meanin; | of the memorandum clause.” Three days of trial betore a New York jury have prove? that I was right. But these companies wince under the report ot the Courter and Enquirer, and seek to deceive the public by a “ communication” in that paper, on | Tuesday morning. The insurers state that there | Was no right to break up the voyage at Rio. there was doubt about the right of *‘ abandonment,” and that the verdict of $14,634 44 was a mere mat- ter ot form. It is not to be wondered at, atter what | came out at the trial, that these companies shou d, through their counsel, attempt to combine the lubri- city ot the eel with the tortuousness of the snake, in sneaking away from their orginal defence ; for it | could uot stand, under such overwhelming proof, be- fore an intelligent jury for more than the five minutes which the jury empanelled took to mulct these insu- ters. Asto their first point, breaking up the voyage, Mr. Garcia had no control ; the captain acted under the best advice, including that of the agent of these in- surers, and by so doing saved some $1250 for the insurers, more than Mr. Garcia appears to have de- manded. As to the abandonment, Mr. Cutting clearly explained, that if the voyage, after eighty- | three days’ delay, had been resumed, the loss | at Havana, as ‘‘ a salvage loss,” would have been 78 53-100 per cent upon the value in the policy, and that assuming the pro forma sound value, at Kio, the loss, without general average, would be uver 60 | per cent. What necessity was there for any aban- donyent? But a fair abandonmert was proved, and the statement of claim proved upon the trial,after crediting the insurers wil all the net proceedg, satisfied the jury that the eldim was Honest for the amount of their verdict. The insurers insult the | good sense of the community when they intimate at Jedge Oakley charged improperly when he gave his views as to the nature of an article to be superadded to the memorandum. Had the judge charged as the defendants desired, the verdict must have been the same. In short, the insurers’ com- munication, in the Coufier, too plainly shows that they are afraid and ashamed ot their own position betore.a mercaatile public—and it can only mean, that after six years of unjust delay, they are deter- “mined to drive Mr. Garcia to a compromise, or the Court of Errors. But our merchants understand a shaoby and shuffling defence, and will give their patronage to those only, who act honorably and promptly; and, as one of these companies has | stopped the legitimate business for which it was in- corporated, we have a right to believe that public opinion, or the strong arm of the power which gave a charter, will soon prove that dishonest technicali- ties are useless, and that, as insurance was intended to afford an honest indemnity, so underwriters will be strictly held to their liability.
