The Fifty-Four Forty Meeting in Phile- delphia, This meeting, the first of the kind held since the on became so much canvassed, was sdey night in Philadelphia. A good Oregon held on deal of interest has been felt to ascertain its charao- erand numbers, as furnisaing the indications of public opinion. From the authority of eye-wit- neszes, perfectly unprejudiced, we are informed that it was comperatively a failure, in point of numbers. The great body of the Philadelphia did not attend. This is a fact which cannot be controverted. Yet we ought not to draw any hasty inferences from this fact, that the claim tothe “whole of Oregon” may not be- come an element of popularity in time, through the | agency of agitators, politicians, and the war spirits of the land. As yet, however, it drags hard. If the two governments do not settle the difficulty soon, the agitation will increase rapidly. So, look out. The Sub-Treasury—Its Passage in the House | of Representatives. This important financial measure has passed the lower house of Congress, by a large vote. Yeas 124—noee, 67—iajority, 57. requiring the collection of the revenue in specie, wes lost by a vote of 47 to 117. ‘The members of the House of Representatives deserve much credit for the speedy and decided manner in which this bill was carried through. It | now remains for the Senate to act upon it. There | is very little doubt but that it will be concurred in by that body, and receive the signature of the Presi- dent; but until the Oregon resolutions are disposed of in the Senate, every thing else must give way The treasury disposed of in the lower house, itis possible the tariff will be brought up next. The | debate upon that question will, without deubt, be | lengthy; but it is difficult to predict the result, as so | many things are likely to happen, before the ques- | tion can come to a vote, that the complexion of our i foreign aflairs may be changed, and a repeal of the | present tariff out of the question. | The House of Representatives is a great way | ahead of the Senate in public business, and we are, | with every one else, anxious to get these stale “ no- tice resolutions” out of the way, so that the impor- | tant measures, affecting our local interests, will re- | ceive that attention the necessities of the country require. We have so frequently alluded tothe merits of the sub-treasury, that a repetition is here unneces- sary. Suilice it to say, that its most restrictive fea- tures have been rigidly preserved, and ite specie provisions closely adhered to, notwithstanding the | efforts of its opponents to defeat them. We hail the adoption of this new financial system as a new | era in the commercial world, and as a guaranty that | the power and influence of the banks upon prices of property, and upon mercantile matters generally, are atanend. We hailit as a ‘* bow of promise” i norizon, which assures us that the of paper money and shinplasters is ut an | | | | | The Cliy Eiection—Movements of the Partics—The Candidates. ‘The bustle and preparation congequent upon an | election in the city of New York, are now visible at every corner. The mighty upheaving of all the dis- cordant elements of which the several political | parties are composed, is distinctly seen; the various nominees for the mayoralty have been put forward; | the usuai flattering letters,accepting the honor, have people in | A proposition, made | just before the fiaal vote, to strike out the clause covered that it impessible for them to agree on one man. The party thus appears to be divided. We would, therefore, suggest to the democratie party, to follow @ precedent established by their own party, at the last Baltimore Convention. Take upan-w man— Man comparatively unknowa—that is, as a politi- | | | can, elect him, and we will stake atrifle that the re- | sult will prove that the course we pointed out was the best you could pursue. The nominations tor aldermen and assistant al- | dermen have not yet been made, but will be very shortly. While these nominations are being made, | lo copies, in wrappers, will be sold atthe desk, at we would again suggest to the different parties to | Sustained in the rendition of so palpably erroneous nominate none but men of worth and respectabili- ty, and those who, in common with a majority of | | their fellow citizens, have long felt and deplored the | trickery and corruption that have been practised on | the community by parties of every shade and color, | ; municipal government with a single eye to re- | trenchment in the city expeases, and efficiency in | | its public officers, can retain power in New York as | | long as it may wish | Tnx Procaxss or Fare Tape iv Canaba.—An | association, entitled “The Free Trade Association,” | has been formed in Montreal, the objects of which | are stated as follows:— “United on the basis of free trade,we shall respectfull, but firmly and inthe firat place, the removal of al imperial imposing discriminating or regulating du- nd place, the repea! of all duties imperial it, provisions,or corn and lastly, we pledge ourselves he future enactment of any | merely regulating duties, whst- ever—believing such to be detrimental to the general interests of society, and at variance with sound policy.” | Such are the objects of the society; and in view of | | them the people of Canada are called upon in an ad- | dress, which has been sent to us from Montreal, | from whence it emanated, to combine and co-ope- | rate with the society in carrying out these views. | The proposed change in the commercial policy of | England, by the repeal of the corn laws, while it | affects almost all countries in the world, and excites | an interest in the people of every country, affects Canada in a more special and peculiar manner than | it does any other section of the world. No wonder, | therefore, that the people of Canada are excited upon this important question. It must be considered that Canada has been subjected to a series of duties, | both protective and discriminating, similar to the duties which for a long series of years have charac- terized the peculiar restrictive policy of England. | In return, however, for these onerous impositions upon hercommerce, Canada enjoyed favors which ; afforded some compensation in return. Her pro- ducts could be ex perted to England and admitted at | lees duties than those of other countries. Now, | however, when England is about to make the great change in her commercial policy, from a trade load- ed with restrictions innumerable, to a perfectly free | trade, it must be evident that if the old restrictions are not removed now, when the special favors | which she has enjoyed are taken away, her situa- | tion will be rendered worse than it was before, and much worse than that of countries not connected with England and having no claims for favors upon her. Hence the necessity of an association like this, having for its object the repeal of all discriminating duties, is self-evident. But there are, as we may | well suppose, advocates for protection in Canada, as | | well as in other countries—men who imagine that | | the “Canadian farmer will be benefited by a dis- | criminating duty, excluding corn and wheat grown | m the United States. The address before us sets out to prove that such a protection is not necessary, | and is not beneficial, and lays down the principle | to resist by every | protective, prohibitiv | that “the price in the market regulates the value.”— Tables are then annnexed, by way of demonstra- tion, which go effectually to prove, that ina series of years, when American wheat was admitted free | into Montreal, compared with the same number of | | years when it paid a heavy duty, the average price | of wheat was much better for the farmerin the | years when the wheat paid no duty.

Sd. 2d, been published—the drum and fife are heard in the | Streets at night; and the blue lights of the proces- | sions are sending their ghastly glare over the city. | The citizens of New York have, thus far, three nominees fer the mayoralty presented to them. Another may spring up before the Mth inetant. The democratic party were for a long time di- ted on the nomination, on account of the present | mayor, Mr. Havemeyer, declining re-nomination; | but it has at last settled down upon Mr. Andrew H. Mickle, arespectable tobacco merchant down town, | as the candidate of the party. | ‘The whigs proper have nominated Justice Taylor, | who was first selected by the fag end of the old na- | tive party, who, seeing the utter impossibility of again reaching power in this city, assumed the name of City Reformers and formed a coalition with the whiga, with the hope of securing a portion, at least, of the loaves and fishes. The natives have nominated Wm. B. Cozzens as their candidate for the same office. Tn regard to the nominees, individually, we have but one word to say. They have all been known for years in this city, and known to be gentlemen of worth and experience,and are probably qualified to make good and efficient chief magistrates of our city The successful candidate will have abundance 0; work before him. The public have demanded thas | the augean stable of political corruption and chica- | nery, which has for so longa time defiled the at- Mosphere of the ety with its must be cleaned; and on the successful candidate will devolve the Herculean task. A commence- ment has been made by Mr. Havemeyer, in this great work, but the ground must be swept clean, and chloride of lime scattered in profusion, by his successor, whoever he may be. It is well to mention these facts before the lection, so that the new Mayor wili be aware of the responsibiliues he assumes. The demand of the tax-paying citizens for municipal reform must be listened to and carried out, by whatever party gets in power; and success to the one who is most ear- Rest to carry it out. ‘This is the first tume in the history of New York that the Alms House Commissioner will be elected by the people. This is an office which is almost as important as that of the mayoralty. To fulfil the | duties of this office Properly requires a man of no mean capacity.

The address then goes on to show that by the re- Peal proposed, it may be expected “‘that,with the St. Lawrence as a highway, and Portland as an outlet to the sea, we shall be enabled successfully to strug- gle for the mighty trade of the West.” This expectation is grounded on sundry calcula- tions and tables, highly interesting. The whole con- cludes with an earnest appeal to the people to enlist their names, anu unite in support of the views of the association. Mat. AxranosmEnts.—Probably very few have become aware that an important change has recent- ly been made in the transportation of the mail be- tween this city and Boston, via Providence ; and one that is likely to occasion considerable inconve- nience to our merchants and the public generally. It appears from the information that we have ob- tained on this subject, that an arraagement entered into between the New Jersey Navigation Company and the Boston & Providence and Stonington & Providence Railroad Companies, five years ago, to Tun in connexion between New York and Boston, expired on the last day of March; and that a new arrangement was effected by the railroad compa- nies, and with another party; in consequence of which, the boats of the New Jersey Naviga- tion Company, or old line, have been withdrawn from the Stonington route, and placed on the out- side route, running through to Providence via New- port; and having contracted with the Postmaster General, in July last, to carry the United States mail for the term of four years, the company has by some means or othér obtained permission to convey the mails by the outside route. Now, as the Boston and Providence Company, by their ar- | rangement with the new line of steamers, are pro- | hibited from running any cars in connection with | the old line, delays in the transportation of the mails will frequently take plaee. For instance— | should the steamers of the old line arrive in Boston after the departure of the morning train of cars, | the mails and passengers must remain in Provi- dence until the next regular train leaves that city. How far the public will feel satisfied with this ar- rangement of the Postmaster General for the trans- portation of the Eastern mail, remains to be seen; but it strikes us, that in case the great Southern mail, intended for one of the European steamers, should be left behind, there would be just cause for complaint. Lona Istanp Ratroap.—There is to be an ex- press train to Boston, through in ten hours. The Newhaven steamer having been altered and for- nished with new boilers, by which her speed has been increased, will be placed upon the ferry from Greenport to Allen’s Pot on Monday next, and the fare through reduced to three dollars. The train will leave Whitehall at 7 o’clock. Nationat Acapgmy or Drsiax.—The annualex- hibition of this society will open on Monday next, at | the Society Library in Broadway. There were , Many complaints last year of the way ia which some of the most deserving paintings were exhibit | ed at the Jast exhibition, in regard to light, &c., and if t ose concerned be not more judicious this year, they will be liable to the charge of impartiality—a charge that would be fatal, if well grounded, to the prosperity of the undertaking. ——__.

Tirrell, charged with the murder of Maria A. Bickford, has given ashock to the community that will not be effaced foryears. Never, since the cele- | The news of tho wock-the late Kuropean Intell | Gan auree upon him, nominate him, and if you brated Robinson case in the city of New York, | have we seen such a deep and intense feeling of hu- miliation and regret depicted on the countenances of our citizens; humiliation on account of the result of the trial, and regret on account of the blow that law, justice and the well being of society has ‘ a verdict. This feeling is not confined to this city, or this neighborhood. All of our exchange papers, with one or two exceptions, as they pour into our office by the mails, are loud in denouneing the verdict, nocence of the party, we are at a loss to conceive. Surely the testimony was conclusive, as far as the circumstances of the case would admit, in fixing the dreadful deed on the prisoner—and we will fur- ther state that in no case that we ever read er heard ot was the chain of circumstantial evidence so well united or so complete as a whole, than was the evidence in this case. As to the cnme of arson, we shall not say a word, for the prisoner has yet to be tned on that charge. Circumstantial evidence is looked upon by judges and lawyers as the strongest testimony, when a complete chain, embracing within its links circumstances before the commission of the crime, and circumstances after the commission of the crime, are taken into consideration. When a chain of evidence of this description is made out, each link joining to and connecting its fellow, the evidence for the prosecution is considered com- the result, unless rebutting evidence as strong can be made out for the defence, or at least such evi- dence as would throw a doubt over the evidence for the prosecution. In such case the prisoner, as is right, would have the benefit of the doubt thue created, and the testimony against him would fall to the ground. That such a complete chain of evi- dence, complete almost beyond example, was made out by the attorney for the commonwealth, on the trial of Tirrell, no man can hesitate to avow. It was 80 strong and so complete that it was impreg- nable ; and being se, no attempt was made to con- trovert it. It stood asa solid wall of masonry— complete in itself—fixing the guilt on himas strong- ly as human testimony could. The counsel for the prisoner saw threugh this; and seeing the testimony of the prosecution so strong that it dare not be approached, he concluded upon applying a desperate remedy insuch a despe- Tate case. His fertile mind immediately conceived the idea of administering a coup de main—ot sterm- ing at once the judge, jury, and the community—of creating a wide-spread tumult and confusion in the minds of all, by the novelty of his invention—so that in the dust and smoke his client would’ be reheved from the precarious position in which the evidence for the commonwealth had fixed him,and the law be cheated of its victim. The plea of suicide was ingenious counsel for the prisoner put in an eddi- tional plea, to the effect that, if Tirrell did commit the murder, he did it while in a state of somnam- bulism. To give a show of possibility to the last plea—we cannot say probability—me- dical men of learning and experience were ex- amined, the relatives of the prisoner from every part of the country were put on the stand, and one thing established, viz: that the pri- | soner, in his youth, sometimes got out of bed and walked the room while asleep. From the im- portance ingeniously attached to this evidence by | the prisoner’s counsel, and the number of witnesses | examined, a fictitious interest was excited ia hie | minds of the jnry, and they probably sliowed «io | work upon their minds to aych a degree aste areaic a doubt whether the crime was committed es the prisoner while in hie right senses. The Litmbug succeeded to perfection—all know the result, and all agree that a most flagitious outrage hes been com- mitted on society, and an irreparable injury done to | the cause of morality and good government. We cannot close witheut alluding to a report in some of the public papers, which requires a few words from us. We see it stated that it 18 the in- tention of the public prosecutor to enter a nolle pro- sequi on the indictment against Tirrell for setting | fire to the house in which the murder was commit- | ted. We can hardly credit this report—we can hardly think that the outraged citizens of Boston, and of the whole State of Massachusetts, would vo- luntarily abandon the prospect of yet vindicating the majesty of their laws and the character of their city, and removing in some degree, the dark spot which the late farcical tragedy has made. The rumor is based on the supposition that if twelve men acquitted ‘Turféll on the ground of somnambulism,or “want of proof” and as the same defence would be relied upon, that the same result would follow. Thisisa palpable non sequitor, for if twelve men were to be influenced by such a shallow humbug, it is no reason that an- other twelve would likewise be. No, the coun- try will demand that no such course be pursued. | On the contrary, the prisoner must be tried, and if | convicted, the law fully vindicated, and the highest | penalty inflicted. That is the only course left for | the city of Boston to relieve herself in some degree, | at least, from the stigma now resting upon her char- acter. Ruope Istanp Exzction.—The election in Rhode Island has resulted in the triumph of the “Law and Order” party, although there 1s no choice of Governor by the people.

Governor—sufficient to throw the election into the Legislature, in both branches of which there is a strong “ Law and Order” or ‘‘Al- gerine” majority ; and of course the candidates of that party, Messrs. Diman and Harris, will be elected. | Disratcu —The clipper ship Ann McKim, Capt, | | Hayes, owned by Howland and Aspinwall, of this city, arrived here on the 26th ult.,from Shanghai,with a full cargo of teas, etc.,and sailed again on the 2d | inst. for Canton, having discharged her inward,and taken in her outward cargo, inthe short period of | seven days.

From the fanciful to @ imaginat and then im- Preise Romeo, we fellowed her with delight irs. Crisp’s Juliet, too, was full of power and beauty. Pure delicate, the soft and glowing passion which beeomes at le: deep, passionate, soul-absorb- ing love, was naturally and beautifully developed.
