NEW YORK HERALD New Yo <== —— The Weekly Herald. This publication for this week will contain a summary of all the foreign and congressional news, up to the moment of issue. The illustration of this number will be a very hue Morous one, and @ capital hit at the politicians, and Street-sweepers of the day, respecting the coming charter election. It is decidedly one of the happi- est engravings we have yet given It will be ready to-morrow morning at 8 o’clock, price six pence, with or without a wrapper. Friday, April 10, 1846. —==s The Steam Ship Unicorn, This steam ship has now been at sea nearly twenty-two days. Notwithstanding her anticipated stop of thirty-six hours at Halifax, this is a very long passage. The Northumberland packet ship sailed from Portemouth ou the 9ti ult., and off the Lizard on the 15h, and arrived here early on Wednesday last. As the Unicorn was to have left Liverpool on the 19ih, the Northumberland has fairly beaten the | steamer in crossing the Atlantic, the difference of | distance to Boston and New York taken into con- sideration. The express arranged to bring the news by the Unicorn, may be ready to bring that to come inthe Caledonia, now six days at sea. The Great Western leaves Liverpool to-morrow noon, for New York News by the Queen of the West. The packet ship Queen of the West, from Liver- pool, was announced below last night. She may bring one or two or more days later news. | Tie Stock Paxic—The excitement in Wall | street has reached fever heat. Within the past few | days there has beena perfect panic among the bulls, and we expect to see an explosion in that neighbor- hood fully equal to the great saltpetre blow up of las, summer. So tar,the bulls have stood the immense de- e‘ine in fancies well, but they must be getting weak. Some lame ducks have already waddled out ot the | street, and more must soon follow ; while, on the o her hand several speculators who exploded during the last panic, have come up as good as new, and. | taken their stand among the big bugs of the board. | According to the calculations of some of the used up bulls, the country will be totally ruined in abou, four weeks. This will give us time to get the news | irom Europe by the packet of the 19th of April, but it will be of little use, as we shall have so little time | afterto make any use of it. We have, liowever, some hope that the predictions of these speculators may not be verified; that some favorable movement | may be made to prevent such an untortunate result. | £1 the meantime we would advise speculators of all kinds to watch and pray. The Charter Election—‘ore Corruption | Guarantied to the People. The conduct that has marked the leaders and thinkers of the whige and natives, in their prelmi- nary arrangements for the coming charter election, | cannot be too severely censured and condemned by | all honest and independent men in the community, and particularly by those of our citizens who have felt and suffered by the ruinous extravagance and waste of the public moneys that has characteri- | sed the present Corporation, since the day they | were unfortunately put in office. There never was a party in power in this city, so | wilfully regardless of the public weal—so shaineful- | ly corrut, and so perfectly devoid of all sense of eommon decency and common honesty, as the par- ty that have fed and fattened at the city treasury, for | a year past—a party that, before their election, made the most solemn pledges and promises of re- locotoco, trenchment and retorm; nd were elected by a con- | fiding yeople, for the purpose of correcting abuses | that hed marked our city government for a number | of years past, and of introducing economy inte | the city expenditures, and accountability on the | part of the public officers, so ‘that the enormous | sums of money that had been wrung from our citi- zens, in the shape of taxes, might be lessened, | while at the same time the city government could | be carried on efficiently. The manner in which they have disregarded their promises is well known; | the fact that the taxes have been heavier than under | any other administration, since the date of the city | charter, proves it. As might be expected, the disgraceful manner in which they lost sight of the promises they gave be- | fore their election, and their perfect disregard of | the wishes of their constituents, coupled with their | profligacy and corruption, created a wide-spread | dissatisfaction among all parties, and a determina. | tion tomake them walk the plank this spring, aud | vacate the offices which they have so unworthily filled, and eo much disgraced. This dissatisfaction | was general, and we never saw a more determined | feeling among all parties, than there was this spring, | to hurl out the present party, and to unite in elect- ing honest and honorable men, who would be a credit to the city, and who would pay some respect to the desires of our citizens, so often expressed, and so oitendenied. All that was needed to carry out this desirable object, and to kick the present corrupt incumbents out of the council chamber, was proper management by the leading and think- img men of the native and whig parties, and a union between them, formed and perfected, by which | some of the best men of both would be put forward. If such a union had been formed, and men of che- racter and integrity, and who were known to the people as worthy of confidence, had been selected anu put forth, the fate of the present party in power, would have been sealed, and sqme hope raised, that the oft-demanded measures of reform would have been carried out. But the opportunity was neglect- | ed, and a heavy responsibiitty is attached to those | men who, by their botchery and mi:management, | will entail on our citizens another year of corrupt | misrale. We are constrained to impute to Mr. Justice Tay- lor a share in bringing about this unfortunate state | of things. When he received the nomination of | the naive party, he wrote an equivocal letter to the nominating committee, which meant any thing or nothing, and which was interpreted by the commit- wee asa refusal of the nomination. The natives then turned round and nominated Mr. Cozzens,who accepted the nomination immediately, and who, in all probability, will receive the votes of that party.— The whigs then nominated Justice Taylor as their candidate, and he immediately accepted. Now, if Justice Taylor had openly and at onee accepted the nomination by the natives, in the first place, it would not have aflected his nomination by the whigs in the least, and he would receive tne votes of both parties; but on account of being badly adviee ed by his friends, or from some other cause, he dic- tated the letter referred to, and insulted the nutive party, whose strength, thrown away as it will be, on Mr. Cozzens, will be sufficient to defeat him and Mr. Coazens also, and secure the elecuon of the Tammany Hall candidate. By this distracted condition of things, the hopes ond desires of the respectable portion of the com- munity have been blasted, and an opportunity more favorable for obtaining the long wished for reform in our manicipal aff irs, than was ever before pre sented, allowed to pass by, and a continuance of profligacy and corruption entailed on the city for | another long year. Ifthe democratic party had de- | voted themselves to bringing abcut such a state of | things as now exists, they could not have succeed- | ed better than the leaders and thickers of the other | two parties have succeeded in doing it for them. What ie the use of these blunderers calling meet- | ' | the best friends of the locofocos. | length in yesterday's Herald, is anything but en- | question. The impression on the public mind there, | Tights; but they say that such attempts will fail, be- | beginning to think that we are afraid of them; and | attacking one of General Taylor’s outposts, and kill- | thing of the kind that has been heard for filty years, | He calls every thing by its proper name.

What is the use of their speechifying, and call- ing upon the citizens to unite and vote for their can- didates, when they themselves, by their unfortunate | tinkering and miamanagement, have created dig- union, and frittered away their forces, so as to en- sure the election of their opponents? As they have sowed, so will they reap. We have never seen a more bungling piece of bu- siness than this. Atthe very time when union and 00 the 20th of December, by the Chinese Commis- | unanimity were all that were requisite, to ensure | Sioners and Commodore Biddle. The files of the | triumph ever the corrupt party in power, the leaders and directors created a state of things that will en- sure the defeat of their own men, and the election of their opponents.

Ship Rainbow, had not ar- | election; but th1s year, when the people were loud in denouncing the loeofoco politicians, and Tequired | but good men to be presented and they would be elected, to act in this manner was the height of folly and imprudence. We sincerely, hope they will have reason to Tepent | of their imprudence, as they certainly will; for any hope of reformation in the democratic party is for- | lorn. So, let the people prepare next year fom higher taxes—dirtier streeta—more extravagance— | wider waste. The whigsand their candidates are | Orxoow —The news from England, received by the packet ship Northumberland, and published at couraging fora speedy settlement of the Oregon | created by the passage of the notice dissolving the | joint occupancy of the territory in dispute, by the | House of Representatives, and our refusal to arbi- trate, is decidedly hostile, and well calculated to | alarm the peaceably disposed people of both coun- | triea. The press look upon both of these measures | as an attempt on our part to coerce Great Britain | into a surrender of what she considers her just | cause the gevernment is determined not to give up | their claim to the territory north of 49. This dis- | Proves the essertion made by Mr. Webster, in the | Senate, a short time since, end gives a more serious | aspect to this troublesome question than it has yet assumed. With England asserting her claim to a | Portion of the territory which our government will not concede, we cannot see anything but an issue which, sooner or later, will result in a war between | the two countries. The news by the Unicorn will be highly important and interesting, and will have the effect of inciting Congress to take a determined stand, one way er the other, soon. prance calatetett Mexico —Our affairs with this country are coming to an issue rapidly, and unless a new revolution break out there, we may look for something decisive, | very soon. | It appears that the Mexican General is on his way | to the Rio Bravo, to keep an eyeupon General Tay - | lor. The truth of the matter is, the Mexicans are | we would not be surprised if the next news from there would bring us intelligence of the Mexicans ing a few of the American soldiers. This would | be the best step they could take for a settlement ot | all our difficulties; and it would stir up our govern- ment to equip an army of 30,000 Western boys, to march into the heart of their country, and have a settlement of all old balances at once, or submit to | t | @ hearty drubbing, and then be annexed. | Mr. Wenster’s Sreecn.—The speech delivered by Mr. Webster recently, in the Senate, is the best a thing—and a scoundrel, a scoun- Nationat Mevicat Convention —The meeting of the various delegates from the medical schools and societies throughout the Union, that is to take place in this city during the coming month, for the purpose of raising the standard of medical educa- tion, will be of considerable interest to the profes. sion, both here and throughout all the States. We are ef opinion that they will not, after a'l, do much. | The standard of medical knowledge that is required | {rom those seeking to enter into the ranks of the | profession, may or may not be sufficient ; but be that as it may, we do not think that the calling of a Things | same principle that the workinge of a political party can be carried on by means of meetings at Tamma- | ny Hall or National Hall; and the idea of a number of people getting together and saying, “in future, we will have nothing but splendid surgepns or physicians,” is a perfect absurdity. Apart from the consideration, that even with the present system of education. American practitioners stand as high as those in any other country—even apart from this, and supposing the contrary state of things principles that regulate the advance of science, are exactly opposite to those that carried out in our republican government ; in it, the many elect their ruler, and dictate to him what they wish done; but in acience, the individual it is who rises above, and leads the crowd—the individual efforts of medical | men it is, that will raise the standard of medical prospects of election they themselves have destroy- ; | missed from the Agincourt on Christmas eve, Very Late from China. The fast sailing clipper ehip Montauk, Captain MeMicheel, arrived last evening from Macao, in the remarkably short passage of eighty-seven days. She made the rua from Macao to the Cape of Good Hope in forty-two days-probab'y the quickest time on record. We are informed by Captain MeM , that the com- mercial treaty between the United States Govern- ment and the Celestial Empire, had been ratified Hong Kong Mail and Friend which we have thus Teceived, make‘no mention of the fact. The U. S. ship Columbus, Commodore Biddle, was at Macao on the 11th Jan. U.S. sloop of war Vinceanes, Captain Paulding, rived out. The piratical attacks upon foreign vessels in the Chinese waters have again become frequent, for the suppression of whieh it is found necessary to employ large gun boats. Two or three of them are | to be permanently stationed in the Symoon seage. {n relation to these attacks, the Register of the 6th says: ‘Oa Sunday morning, some China men dis- covered a dead body floating 10 the Lyemoon, and gave information of the circumstance to the police, who went out, and found it to be a European, who had three fingers of his right hand cut off, and vari- ous marks ot violence about the face and neck. He was afterwards recogoiz-d as a seal was believed to have tallen overboard. The m of violence would seem tojustily a worse con: tion, but as yet we believe nothing has transpired, to puint suspicion against any parties.” On the evening of the let December, an amateur ‘party ot actors performed at A-kwei’s premises in | the lower Buzaur.

Tue Cuamper or Commence anp THE WHOLE Worip.—The respectable old gentlemen who com- pose the so-called Chamber of Commerce in this | city, are the most uneasy set of old chaps we ever heard of. There is not a matter connected with the subject of commerce, that they will not ap- propriate to themselves, discuss it, and issue bulle- tins to the world, with their opinions concerning it. Their conduct recalls to our mind something we | saw some years ago, in a town somewhere in Eu- rope. A respectable old genileman, who was well qualified to belong to this great board, went into the street each day, at noon, and kept turning his hand for a long time, as if he were winding up a clock. On being asked what he was about, he replied that he was winding up the sun, and if he did not do it» it would run down, and the world come to an end. So it 18 with the Board of Commerce—they have got hold of tte pilot laws, and are winding up the eun. They have issued their bulletin, pad sty there must be competition in the pilotage busi ness, in order to have it faithfully performed. The fact is, the ridiculous law of 1887 ‘throws the pilotage business of this port open to every loafer | House Cemmissioner, and to regulate matters prepare- | nated for Alderm and ragamaffio in the whole world, who chooses to engage in it; and the coneequence has been that men without any qualification, have entered the fie!d, to compete with the old pilots,who have served an apprenticeship to the business, and were obliged to go through the ordeal of a critical examination before they received their licenses. As long as maokind continues to be cast in the same mould that has been used since the time of the patriarch Adam, there will be compstition in every business, among the regular followers of that business. What good effect can flow from admitting a set of tinkers into competition with journeymen printers? Tinker- ing and botchery would certainly follow. The same result has followed the competition among the pilots, under the present law of Congress. Let Congress abolish that absurd law, and it will | be foun. that the State of New York is capable of knowledge in this country; and their example wil} | cause hundreds to follow in their path, on whom | all the Jaws that_a convention could ever frame, would never have had the slightest effect. This fact 18 to be seen, not only in the medical protes- | sion, but also in other thiage—jor instanee, in paint- | ing and the fine arts. The appearance of one fine Painter or sculptor, has always been followed by several more; so, again, in another branch of what may be termed literature, viz: newspapers—see what the force of individual enterprise and success has done! what a complete raising of the standard of newepaper tactics has been caused by the career | of the Herald! Bat we could neither have good | painters, or good sculptors; nor could we have had | energetic newspapers, by merely calling conven- tions, and making Jaws that they should exist, and | that nothing mediocre would be allowed. It is the | fate of all professions to be encumbered with dull | members; for all men cannot be alike great. The great surgeon, or painter, or sculptor, may be said to be nascitur non fit; and all of them find their | level very soon. The profession of medicine in this country, as we said before, stands as well, and is as successful in | its treatment of disease—nay, perhaps, even more 80, than the profession in any of the European coun- | tries. This is all that is required. If they were in such a situation as to require the aid of medical men | from foreiga countries to cure the various diseases of their own, then, indeed, thing might be said about making laws toe in every one the elements of greatness. The fact is, if this system of | determining every thing by means of a convention goes much farther, we should’ not be surprised to see physicians laying their patients’ caees before conventions, as well as lawyers their clients’ causes. There are, however, many things which the Con- vention, when they have met, will do well to consi der—such as the legislative protection afforded to by the medical societies, &e , which will give them | full enough to do,without endeavoring to make laws | that shall bring forth ready made Rushes or Motts, | or any other similar eminent men. And, moreover, let them endeavor to inculcate on the members of | the profession the keeping up of a betier fee ling | among themselves, rather than to endeavor to form _ themselves into separate cliques, as they now do. regulating the pilotage of this city. Conngcticur Exection.—Complete returns have been received from all the towns in the State but three, and the vote for Governor stands as follows: 2 i 4 Total, a 26,198 Whig plurality, 552 The three towns to be heard from cannot materi- | ally affect the result. As the people have filed to elect a Governor, that duty will devolve upon the Legislature, and there appears to be very little doubt but the democrats will have majorities in both.branches. The State Senate is com; ot 21 members; of these the democrats have elected Il, the whigs 9, and one district not yet ascertain- ed. {n the Honse the democrats have 102 mem- bers, the whigs 76, no choice 37, and three towns to hear from. The Lieutenant Governor is ex-officio president | of the Senate, and in case of a tie, has a casting vote. Itis somewhat singular, that at the very juncture when New Hampshire hi tthe ranks ot the ad- ministration, the strong whig State of Connecticut should wheel into its support. Such political evolu- tions are not, however, novelties in our history. A few years more and a regular exchange of States may take place between the two great parties— Massachusetts, for instance, become radical, and lilinois conservative ! States, as well as individuals, it seems, know how to turn theircoats—there is no | such thing as invariable consistency; but, according to Boston, there is such a thing as committing a murder while in a state of somnambuiism. From Bermvpa —By the Falcon, Captain Pitt, at this port, we have files of the Bermudian and Ga- zette to the 2d inst. The Southampton steamers are hereafter to touch at this Island instead of Bar- | badoes, and will then proceed to Nassau, N. P., Havana and Mexico, and back the same route to England. There is no other news of any moment.
