NEW YORK HERALD. | New York, Thursilay, April 9, 1846. Herald Supplement. We this morning issue « supplement to our city subscribers. ‘The News from England—Important Intel- gence from India. We have received, by the arrival of the packet ship Northumberland, from London, four days later intelligence from that port. The news is of much importance to the interests of this country. The London money market was uneettled; the improvement realized on the 5th ulumo, in quotations for consuls, and for all securiti's was only maintained for one day, although there were very few transactions; on the Gth inst, the rumor that the Queen was to send to Parliament a special message relative to Ameri- ca produced a siight panic again, and consols de- clined. We should judge from this, that the arbi- tration correspondence, and the passage of the notice | V¢FAment to induce the authorities of that county | manners and gentlemanly ease with a finished mu- resolutions, had not created eo great a depression as ‘© settle the difficulties between the two countries | sical education.

The cotton and corn markets were in a very healthy state, and prices for breadstufts were improving. Toe news from India is of a very interesting ard important character. The two armirs were on the eve of another conflict ; indeed, it was reported trat another tremendous battle had been fought; end, trom the large iorce in the field, a very severe contest was anticipated. We shall not, probably, receive the particulars until the arrival of the steam- ship of the 4th of April, from Liverpool; but the | Y2Worthy Mexicans; and if our government had de- | been eminently euccessful during hia Southern tour, | position of affairs in India is so critical to the Eng- | ™anded a settlement of all differences at the can- | and was, at last Yates, giving concerts in St. Louis, lish dominion in Asia, that the effect is already be- | 200’8 mouth, in the first instance, every question | t crowded and fashionable audiences.

It is to be recollected that the Eng- lish reverse in Afighaniston mainly caused the spe- States would not proceed to extremities, for tear of | his de The Mexiean News—The Crisisin Affairs. We publish in our paper of to-day, the latest in- telligence received from Mexico. It will be seen that the Mexican authorilies have refused to receive our minister, Mr. Slidell, in the capacity in which he was sent by our government, and that he had accordingly demanded his passports and was about to return home, and may daily be expected to ar- rive. This news, in conjunction with that receiveda day or two since, convinces us that our affairs with that unfortunate country have reached a crisis, and will, probably, result in hostility. By the first news, we had intelligence that Paredes had suc- ceeded in procuring a loan of two millions of dol- | lars, which were to be expended in repairing the Castle of St. Juan de Ulloa and other fortifications, and that’ the Mexican General was on his way to the Rio Bravo to watch the movements of General Taylor, who was encamped on the American side of that river. It would appear that all the exertions of our go- wards the United States, with the hope that Eng. land, or some other European power, will interfere tor their benefit. There is now but one course left for our govern- ment to adopt, and that is, to bring the present con- dition of things to a close as soon as possible. After sending a epectal minister, at the instance of the Mexican authorities, he is rejected, and the people and government of the United States insulted. The fact is that kindness is thrown away upon there would have been satisfactorily settled long since. It the Mexican authorities have assumed their pre- sent attitude on the supposition that the United cial visit of Lord Ashburton to this country, to set- the interference of Great Britain, they ought to find | tle the North-Eastern boundary question; and the | present Sikh war in India may be the means of an- other special visit on the Oregon question. We are now on the look out for tne Unicorn. She | isin her twenty first day! Her news will be of the highest importance, both in a political and commer: | cial point of view-——much more so than we anticipa- ted previous to the arrival of the packet ship from | London.

We have exercised patience until it has ceased to bea virtue; and the sooner a demonstration is made by the American army and navy, the better it will be for the unfortunate Mexicans themselves.

Hus time seems to be occupied, and his pa- | Park last night, to witness the performance of the per made interesting, by a succession of paragraphs, | “Stranger,” byMr. Murdoch. This play isby no meens | form is concerned. For a number of years past, the municipal govern- , ‘ither making amends or apologies for former libels, | a fa ment been successively in the hands of politi- | cal parties whose administration has been disgraced | with the vilest and most corrupt profligracy, and | whose wasteful expenditures and extravagance of | the public moneys, has burthened the city with op- | pressive taxee, that have driven many of our most | worthy citizens to Brooklyn and elsewhere, and re- | ferring to his editorial connexion with the Netw | ard of hig! tarded the growing prosperity of New York. At | each successive election, one or the other of the | old whig and democratic parties would come for- ward end solicit the suffrages of our citizens, and make the most solemn pledges of retrenchment ani Tetorm. Trusting to these oft-repeated promises, which were most shamefully disregarded efier the | election, these two parties have been in turn elect- ed and re-elected, and each has endeavored to out- | do the other in extravagance and corruption. 1n this way the government of this city has been carried on for a number of years past, until at length the people have become completely disgust- ed with all political parties, and with none mote than the party at present in power. This party came into power with the moat solemn pledges of econo- my and retrenchment; and the way in which they \ have fulfilled their pledges, has been to increase the city taxes to a per centage never equalled before, in the history of New York, by any party. ‘The mo- | ney thus exacted has been expended in the most | corrupt mann'r. The city contracts have been giv- en to political favorites—the streets were never 50 | badly attended to before—in fact, no administration ever disgraced the city so much as the pre- sent has done. To such an extent had these abuses been carried, that one of their own party got up in his seat in the Common Council, and de- clared to the world that the city treasury was com- pletely at the mercy of the crafty and designing. We had hopes, sometime since, that a united effort would be made to hurl the present party out of power ; aad that the good men of all parties would combine and elect a party without regard to politics, which would pay some regard to the oft-repeated | demands of our citizens for economy and retrench- ment. There never was, and perhaps never will be again, a more favorable opportunity for such a pur- pose than was offered this year; but it haa been neglected and thrown away. lostead of our citizens | combining and presenting a solid front against the | present party, we see a melancholy exhibition of | cliques and factions in the field, each with its own eandidate, the result of which will be that not one ot them will be elected, and the present party will be again possessed of the Corporation. This has been brought about by the botchery of the leaders of the whig and native parties, in their preliminary arrangements. The native party, early inthe season, tendered their suffrages to Mr. Justice Taylor, as their candi- date for the mayoralty, but he declined the nomina- tion. A small portion of that party then assumed the name of city reformers, and, copjointly with the whige, nominated Mr. Taylor as their candidate for the same office. Mr. Taylor accepted the nomina- tion, and is now the regular nominee of the whig party. The natives then nominated Mr. Cozzens, and he acceptedthe nomination. After a great deal of discussion and commotion among the Tammany hall sachems, they agreed upon nominating Mr. An- drew H. Mickle as their candidate—the nomination having been previously tendered to the present Mayor, Mr. Havemeyer, but refused. It appears, then, that there are three candidates in he field, and each has a large body of supportere,who will vote for their own nominee. The natives con- sider themselves insulted by Justice Taylor, by his first refusing their nomination, and thea accepting the whigs—and will to a man vote tor Mr. Cozzens, and the whigs will vote for Justice Taylor; but neither one nor the other will be elected, because, the democratic party numbers more votes than either of them separately. Mr. Mickle, then, will in all probability be the next Mayor of New York, | upless the other parties repent of their folly, and unite on one man, before the day of the election, which can hardly be expected at this late hour. We have no objections to Mr. Mickle as an indi- vidual. Heis a good man, and may make a good Mayor—probably as good as Mayor Havemeyer— but the people want a change of parties. They have been humbugged and deceived solong by that party, who have so often and repeatedly disregarded their solemn pledges, that confidence can no longer be placed ia them. Were they agaia to offer their pledges in seriousness, and with a desire and inten- tion to fulfil them, they would not be believed, for they have cried “ wolf! wolf!” and deceived the people too often. It will be seen, therefore, that through the bungling management of the different parties, and particularly of the whi i for the next charter phn Mg Otay rile ceententty for procuring a diminution of taxes, and a reform in the municipal affairs of the city, has been thrown away for another year; and for another year the city will be disgraced by the corruption and profli- | Dlackguard; and now that he is | from it.

The littledelay in mukiog the emende, only makes it the more valu- abie. Park Benjamin, however, can hardly afford to be generous, in the long run, to all the world; and, accordingly, in one of his last papers, we find some most exciting paragraphs, tearing to pieces some of his literary contemporaries, who will, no doubt, call him to account hereafter, and at a proper time, com- pel him to make the same amends as in the case of Mr. Tasistro. The article we refer to genteelly states :— Ho is in the predicament of Falsteffs bull c: ed till he roi 11 hi i | nothing before now | summoned to answer for his reiterated falsehoods.

It is a singular sys- tem; and although it may have some advantages, it has still some very singular disadvantages, which he may find outin the end. He may runashore in Baltimore, as he has run ashore in Boston and New York. Yet, he is an amusing fellow. Pitot Laws —What is Congress doing in rela- to the pilot laws? If they mean to do any thing, they had better do it quickly. At this moment, there are no pilot laws in operation for the great commereial city of New York. The State laws on the subject are repealed, and the law of Congress now in force, merely throws open the pilotage busi- | ness to every loafer in the world that may choose to engage in it. There is, consequently, no order or system about the business. The commerce of | New York, which isthe greatest and most exten- | i sive of any city in the world except two, has already suflered severely for the want of proper legislation on this subject; and it Congress do not soon either Tepeal the present law, or pass some new one, regu- lating the business, it will suffer more, and great in- justice be done to our commercial interests. Srecunators, Pagranz.—All the speculators themselves for the passage of the sub-treasury bill.— There will not be the same division on that ques- tion that there was on the Oregon question. Ben- ton, Calhoun and their friends will vote for it, pro- bably in the ehape that it came from the house. k will undoubtedly be a law in a short time. Look out! Conngcrieut Exsction.—The recent election in Connecticut, looks like the first workings of a revo- lution in the parties and politics in that State. At the Jast election in New Hampshire, which has al- | be ways been considered the strong-hold of democra- cy, the result was considered favorable to the whigs: but the recent election in Conpecticut shows that the whigs are as much divided there as the demo- crate were in New Hampshire. The truth of the | matter is, both the whigs and the democrats, im the Northern States, areina state of demoralization, justice, uot merely | Eustace.

The eflect of their visits is now | manifested in the growing taste tor music every- where apparent; and we have every reason to hope | that it will become a subj-ct of public care, and at- | tain a perfect luxuriance of prosperity.
