Ke. de, The FWVeekly Herald will be published at the usual hour to-morrow morning. This number of this paper will contain the fullest particulars of the recent dreadful wrecks, with a | view of the Henry Clay, as she appeared on the | beach. In consequence of the intense anxiety {elt in this city for the safety of those on board this noble but ill-fated packet, we yesterday despatch- ed a special reporter to Squan Beach, to obtain all the particulars of this appalling disaster. We ex- | pect him back sometime to-day—and what he ob- tains will be published in the Daily and Weekly Herald of to-morrow. The Weekly will also be illustrated by “one of the boys,” and contain all the miscellaneous news of the week, including the special Messege of the President, &c., icc.

The loss of the noble packet ship Henry Clay, many particulars of which we gave in yesterday morning’s Herald, has thrown the city into a state | of the greatest excitement, The uncertainty of the number of lives lost, and the great value of the ship, | have produced the most intense anxiety in the pub- lic mind. In addition to what we published yesterday morn- ing, we earn that there is an insurance in Wall street of $40,000 on the ship, and $20,000 on her cargo. The Pelican office has $10,000 on the car- go; Alliance, $1000; New York, $8000; Atlantic, $10,000. It is supposed, however, there is some in- surance in State street, Boston ; but the amount is not yet known in this city. This packet belongs to Grinnell, Minturn & Co. who became so generally known to the public whule in command of the packet ship Independence, was a principal owner in her, and will be the great- est sufferer. She was valued at $90,000. The cargo was probably worth $150,000. The captains of the schooners Good Intent, and St. Marys, arrived yesterday, report passing the Henry Clay on Wedneaday afternoon. She was that of James Bickford, the husband ot the miwder- ed girl, ‘the Construction of Ratlroads—Battie of the' | Gauges. grcat country seems destined: to be continu- aly coavuleéd wrt some new and-extraondinary ef- fort to increase its iebgth and breadth—its height and depth—and all the convulsion, and’all the excite- | meat, however, that it has yet met with, have tend- ed te condense our domain—bring the extreme points closer together, and alarm Europe fos the | fafety of her monarchial institutions.

After the above intelligence reached the Herald office, information was received of the loss of ano- ther ship, and of a schooner. Our messenger has given us the following particulars. ‘The ship Edgar; Capt. McManus, from New Or- leans, tor New York, during the blew on the morn- ing of the 25th, run ashore on Absecom beach.— Absut 7 o’clock that morning, her mainmast was Jast accounts was rapidly sinking in the sand, with ive water over her lower deck beams.

After the | cargo will be jrrtly saved, although in a damaged most extensive and satisfactory experiments, and | condition. the examination of the most distinguished engmeers | in the United Kingdom, the commissioners arrived | atthe conclusion that the narrow gauge of four feet | eight and a half inches, possessed su; erior advanta- | ges, and recommended its universal adoption. The strongest argument against the construction | of railroads with a wider gauge than four feet eight | and a half inches, was that it produced a “break of | gauge,” and restricted the operations of other lines, | having the narrow gauge, in preventing the trans- | portation of the locomotives and trains from one | lime to another. It is also shown by this re- | port, that for speed, safety, economy of construc- | tion, and economy of running expenditures, the | narrow gauge has been found full as favorable | asthe wide gauge. None of the accidents which have happened on the railways of Great Bri- tain, can be traced to the limited width ot the | track. Accidents arise from collisions, obstructions | on the road, points wrongly placed, slips in cuttings, | subsidents of embanxments, a defective state of the | permanent way, loss of gauge, broken or loose | chairs, fractures of wheels and axles, &c., and from \ engines running off the line trom some other cause. | All but the last are totally independent of gauge, | and the advocates of either gauge cannot fairly | claim, in regard to thesPaccidente, a preference for | their respective systems. Jt is stated in the Parlia- mentary report, that the wide gauge is more liable to such accidents, from the circumstance that the the tore and hind axle, is less in proportion to its | breadth, than in the narrow gauge engines. | As regards the safety of the passengers, no prefer- | ence is due, with well proportioned engines, to either | gauge; but as regards economy of construction and | facility of connection between the numerous lines, | the narrow is decidedly preferable to the wide gauge. The number of miles of railway completed in the | United Kingdom in July, 1845, was 2,264; of which | 274 miles were on the wide gauge of seven feet ; 25 miles on the gauge of six feet two inches, but alter- ed to five feet three inches; 82 miles on the gauge of \ five feet six inches, but intended to be altered to four | feet eight and a half inches ;_32 miles five feet three | inches gauge, and 1,901 miles four feet eight and a half inches. Number of miles of projects for which | plans and sections were deposited with the Board of Trade for 1845, was 8,000 ; of which only 658 were on the wide gauges of seven feet. The grand total | of railways made,sanctioned or likely to be sanction- ed, amounts to 4,908} miles, of which 4,131} are on | the narrow gauge of four feet eight anda halt inches, and 7774 on the wide gauge of seven feet. It appears, therefore, evident that the narrow gauge must continue to predominate in a much larger pro- portion than exists at this moment. The increase of | the narrow gauge is very great in proportion to the | wide gauge, not only in new lines built from year to | year, but in the alterations which from time to time Our newsmen could not learn the name of the schooner that 18 ashore near the Edgar. She was from Wilmington, N.C. She went ashore in the same gale, and has almost entirely gone to pieces. Most of the ecargo—cotton and ‘naval stores—was washed on the meadows and will be saved, although much injured. She is supposed to be a Wilmington and New York paeket. This appears to be a sad year for the mariner. The Commerce of the Hudson River—Its Im- portance to New York. Navigation on the Hudson River is now unob- structed, and our beautiful steamboats ply regularly between this city and Albany, carrying thousands to and from these cities daily. But the immense business that is annually done on our noble river has not yet fairly commenced, and will not, until the canals are open. Then the numerous craft, of all descriptions, that are now lying at the wharves, in waiting for that event, will be all in motion, and the waters of this great avenue of trade will swarm with them. The splendid steamboats that run between New York and Albany and Troy are the admi- ration of every one who beholds them. Each new one supersedes all others, in splendor and accommodations. Every expedient has been devised to increase the accommodation | and ,comfort of travellers; and we believe that | length of the engine, or rather the distance between | the Hudson River steamboats have now reach- | ed the neplus ultra of speed and elegance. The | journey from New York to Albany, which a few | years since required a week or ten days to perform, can now be travelled in a few hours. A traveller can breakfast at his hotel in New York, and take tea in Albany with the greatest ease. After he steps into the boat, let him enjoy the scenery, take dinner, read the paper, and smoke a segar—and lo! he is at his place of destination. It 1s computed that one million of passengers an- nually pass up and down this noble river, and this alone is a source of enormous revenue. The price of passage varies during the season. Sometimes it is twelve shillings—sometimes two dollars—some- times four shillings—and we have frequeatly seen the price of passage as low as one shilling. Aver- aging the price for a season at about one dollar— which we suppose is a fair average—the re- venue derived from these.steamboats, therefore, during the season, amounts to a million of dollars. This accounts for the splendor and magnificence of the boats. For the information of persons at a dis- | tance, we give a corrected and accurate list of the | steamboats that will rua on the Hudson the coming season, commencing with the largest—those that run to Albany and Troy :— Stramens vor Aapany. Belle. Columbia, Iron Witch, Oneida, Empire, Hendrick Hudson, Nisgara, Rochester, Express, Geo. Washington, North America, Rip Van Winkle, Troy, Utica, Bouth America, 15. are made from the wide to the narrow system. The | Parliamentary report alluded to, contains a vast deal | ot information in relation to this matter, and we re- | gret that our space will not permit giving it at length. The New York and Erie Railroad is being built | upon the wide gauge system, and it is proposed to construct the New York and Boston direct line, also, upon the wide gauge. With these exceptions, all the railroads of New York and New England, completed or in the course of construction, are upon the nar- | row gauge of four feet eight inches. The cars of | These vessels, for speed and accommodation, are upequalled in any part of the world, and are com- manded by gentlemen of experience—gentlemen who are as much at home in a ladies’ parlor as they are on their own decks; and know their piofession thoroughly. In addition to these there are eleven amaller boats, | that trade between New York and the cities and towns on the river between New York and Albany. The following is a list of them:— All appeared quiet at Vera Uruz. The frigate Cumberland, Commodore Connor, sloops of war | Falmouth, John Adame, and St. Mary, were at Sa- enficio. The brig Porpoise sailed on the 4th tor | Corpus Christi. One English, one French, and one | Spanish veesel of wor were at Vera Cruz on the Sth | instant, | The-Memorial Historico ot the 20th ult., contains | long extracts from the several periodicals of Mexi- | co, ail relating to the question of the creation of a | monarchy in Mexico. aia which seems to meet with favor in most which have | agitated this question seems to be that ot a represen- | tative monarchy. The present ntable condi- , tion of the country—the insecurity of life and pro- | perty—the perpetual changes of goverament—in a | word, the reigning anarchy thi ut the country, | ig admitted on all hands in these speculations an | discussions, and forms the great argument for the abandonment of the rey bliean oysern, and a re- , turn to the monarch niacin. This question is | | the all absorbing topic of the Mexican press, some | stout! Siynceting, & monarchy, among which are | La Epoca, and The Heforma. These, | however, are opposed by other journals. The pa- | pers which advocate the establishment of a monar- | Chy are, as may be well supposed, bitterly opposed | tothe United States,recommend war against us, and | are forward to attribute all the evils the country 18 la~ boring under to the fault of the United States. _ Accounts from Sonora represent that province in | astate of the utmost anarchy and disorder, owing | to the private feuds and disputes of individual fami | lies and parties dividing the counttry and filling it with personal animosities. x The same paper of the 2lst ult., contains a long | article, headed ‘Mexico does not degire a king, ‘ much less a foreigner for king.” The article then goes on tocombat the views of the Tiempo, and the | Project of a monarchy. | n Jove Tornel is stated in the same paper to | have taken the oath of office.as Minister of War on | the 20th ult., and to have immediately entered upon his functions. |, The Monitor announces that the contract for loan of Ly ages which had been expected to suc- ceed, had fallen through. = - $ 2 4 The Minister from Prussia arrived in the city of | Mexico on the 20th. , | Accounts from the Department of Jalisco make | mention of fresh disorders oceurring among the | military. The troops, consisting of the batallion of Guanajuato, in garrison at Mescala, had mutinied against the commander; the further results are not mentioned. Disorders are apprehended again in | Vera Cruz am the soldiery, and several officera | have been displaced by orders from the govern- | ment. | _ No further news is contained in these papera, which are chiefly filled with the speculations we have mentioned. ‘From the N. O. Picayune, March 18.) The echooner Equity, Capt. Biace, arrived here | yesterday from Matamoras, Capt.

The Equity sailed u the course of the same night. ‘Ve received no papers by this arrival, but letters were received by her. One from Mr. Schatzell par- ticularly alludes to the above report, and states that the whole was an idle hoax, by which many there had been deceived. ‘ i There were various and contradictary rumors in Matamoras in regard to Mr. Slidell. The most im- Portant was to the effect that he had been invited from Jalapa to Mexico ; but our Consul put little faith in this. One letter, dated Feb 28th, states po- sitively that Mr. Slidell had been received, but ano- ther from a different source throws discredit upon this. It is quite probable that later news from Mar. Slidell had_been received at Matamoras. Our last | accounts left him at Jalapa on the 2ist of February. We regret that we cannot clear the matter up. There was only the usual force at Matamoras when the Equity sailed—from twelve to fifteen hun- ova men. Capt. Place reports that all was quiet ere. The U. S. brig of war Porpoise touched at the mouth of the Rio Grande the night of the 9th inst.. bound to Aranzas. Two of her officers boarded the Equity, but remained only a few moments. She bore away the morning of the 10th for her destina- tion. Our last advices from Vera Cruz led us to suppose that the Porpoise would shortly sail thence, but we then ex for Pensacola. If Aransas was her destination, it indieates a So-tyerstion with | Gen. Taylor’s idrce, for which we had not been al- | together prepared. | Tue New Pacuer Sur Copumsu—Tre Lavncn. | —The Columbia, one of the finest packets now | float, was launched early yesterday morning, in | fine style, from the ship yard of Mr. Wm. H. Webb. ’ The following are her dimensions :— Extreme length... 180 feet. Length of deck 170 Breadth of beam. Ps She ghded into the East River with masts, top- masts, topgallantmasts, \e., all standing, and a more eplendid launch has seldom been seen. She had not a single pound of ballast on board, yet she was as stiff as a church. Notwithstanding the early hour, and the miserable state of the weather, there were some two or three thousand persons present at the launch. The state rooms aboard this eplendid new ship will, we understand, be larger than these of any packet out of this port, and she will have cabin ac- commodations, of the most magnificent description, for upwards of forty passengers. We learn that a number of her berths are already engaged. She is to be commanded by Capt. John Rathbone, the well known discoverer of the short route to England. “From Aux Cayzs.—' arn from Capt. Mann, of the schooner} Dorcas, at this port, from Aux Oayes, which place he Jeft on the 6th inst., that all citizens capable of bearing arms left the city on the 28th ult., with the exception of the National Guards, who were left to protect that place, to join the main army atthe Cape. The general impression was that the army would not leave the Cape to go against the Dominicans. It was also reported when he left, that there was | another revolution at Port au Prince, and that the army which left Aux Cayes for the Cape, had fallen back from Mirragoone to Arca, waiting information. searce in the city, the people not bringing it in, owing to a fear that they would be pressed into the army.

All engineers will unite in saying that the dimensions sdop' ed on the extension of the Harlem Railroad, are sufficient for a first rate single track road, which is all that company profess to undertake at prosent. in the “Card,” the speed and time of on the two roads, is thus stated :— R Harlem R.

At tl rato it will take seven hours and twenty-four minutes to run one hundred and forty-eight miles.’ This is intended to convey impression that the statement of jer mede in his annual rep in regard to the Harlem Railros speed b tween New York and White Plains, somewhat imperfe in its character, as has always been admitted, whieh will require re- modelling to put iten a par with the ex. tension ; on which no igh rate of speed is either de. sired or attempted, and where no less than eight or ten steps are made, at several of which freight it taken in discharged. tl rte of Mr. Jervis and the under. a rae 9 ne ot speed aimed! igued, it will be seen that the high ni, ted to be accomplished b; foaine, which doell stop for no na but to faked ater, "ithe next and most important misstatement which I shall point out, isin relation to the cost of the Harlem| Railread.

But why resort to the Railroad Jeurnal for information in regard to the cost of the Harlem read between Ni York end White Plains, when the actual cost is stated the very re) from which the other part of the esti- mate is made up, viz : the Report of the Company to the Secretary of State? The tetal expense of ‘ooneteuslion of the road now in operation, is there state¢ at $1,213,456. This, it must be jembered, is verified by the oath of the officers of the ompany, while the sum put down in the Raiiroed Journal is evidently copjectu- rol, from the fact of its <= round numbers. the bove amount si be $100,000, for the cost of ngines and cars: I shell elso add the sum of $143 185, eing the cost of real estate owned by the Harlem C »m- Ppez: inthe city. With these addi ae, Sn, the arlem Railroad is $1,456,601. The e' in impor. tant item, therefore, amounts to $7,934 09, by which the cost of the H ‘ailroad, when extended to Albany, is swelled to a half millions.
