The féte given on Monday evening, in celebration of the anniversary of the birthday of Henry Clay, of Kentucky, was not only a splendid, a joyous oc- casion, £0 far as the dishes, the viands, the edibles, and parily the drinkables, (to those who paid extra for them,) were concerned, but it turns out to have been a great political movement of the day, having Sor its object the bringing into the field, for the Presi- dential electionin 1848, the name and fortunes of Henry Clay, of Kentucky. There is no necessity for us to make any profound or philosophical remarks on the cookery or cuisine of Niblo, or the way in which he served it up, or to note, by way of parenthesis, the appetites with which the six or seven hundred y lane swallowed it after it was served p. These important facts will be found written in indelible characters in the recesses of Niblo’s kitehen, but we are compelled to note with partiou- lar attention, the sentiments, opinions, wishes, and predelictions promulgated in the toasts, speeches and songs of these six or seven hundred members of the “old guard,” as they call themselves, who were there assembled. Lhis féle was unquestionably the first popular movement, bearing on the next election. It was the nomination of Henry Clay, of Kentucky, for the next Presidency, without reference to conventions, or any other ancient or modern mode of bringing forward candidates. This popular outbreak of his own friends was an enthusiastic eruption, which has been growing icr many months past, and which | could rot be restrained any longer. | The men engaged in this movement, are, some of them, well known. Mr. White, who was the orator | on the occasion, was formerly adistinguishea mem- | ber of Congress, from the State of Indiana, and is | now a !awyer, in search of practice, in the city of | New York. He is more of an orater and a politi- | cian than a member of the bar. The extent of his | oratorieal and political power 1s magnificent, and as | boundlees as the prairies of the west, embracing the great cave of Kentucky—while his law practice | is principallyconfined to a sort of straggling libel | suits, for one of which he is engaged as counsel, now | before acommiesion. But nil importe. The fatne | and fortunes of Henry Clay, are now brought before the public for the last time, by men whose fame and fortunes will be made by it hereafter. Asso- | ciated with Mr. White, we find a number | of politicians and editors of the whig party, some of whom are distinguished men, and some of them the smallest of the small po- tatoes, and only twoin a heap. The aggregate of the whole assembly forming this féte, is however of such a chatacter as tocommand the attention of the whole country, and particularly of the American people, in the present crisis of our national affairs; which 1s leading to war or-peace, and into which the country is plunged by the present administration. The other candidates of the whig party, who have been talked of, will of course be set aside for the present, if the people should take it into their heads to run Mr. Clay for the last time, against the men now in power. We allude to Judge McLean, of Ohio, and General Scott ot Washington, whose pre- tensions must be set aside, in the popular enthusi- asm rising for Henry Clay. This movement, embracing the nomination of | Henry Clay by a popuiar assembly in New York, | before an elegant table, spread by Niblo, will com- | mand the attention of the whole eouutry, and parti- | cuiarly so in'the present crisis in our foreign and | domestie relations. Since the present administra- | tion came into power, our relations with foreign | powers have changed to a very remarkable extent. We are on the verge of war with the greatest power on thiscontinent, in relation to Texas; and we are on the verge of war with the greatest power in Eu- rope in relation to the Oregon terntory. The Ame- tican people have their rights in both Texas and Oregon ; but a great many of the people think that the presecution of those rights, the negotiations un- dertaken, or the movements growing out of them, have not been conducted with as great prudence, deep statesmanship or success, as others that have been conducted by other men in the country. It is very certain that the whole of the American people | would sooner go into a war with the greatest power on earth than submit to injustice or dishonor. But while they possess a high and honorable spirit as a nation and as a people, they will always respect the rights and feelings of other pewers, and onall oc- casions would prefer to live in peace with all nations and all powers. It is very evident that, as regards our relations with Mexico and England, we are on the verge of war, nor can it be ascertained how soon the breaking out of hostilities may take place. In relation to our domestic affairs, matters seem also to be coming to acrisis. There are measures brought forward in Congress that will materially alter and change the relation of the various inter- ests of this country to each other. It is now appre- hended, in a great many intelligent fiaancial circles, that in less than three or four months we will have a suspension of specie payments by the banks, | and 2 general panic throughout the country. That the government, the depositors, and bill-holders, will rash with the force af a torrent, in search of specie, and that the proceedings of Congress will only terminate by the total annthilation of the bank- ing system throughout the country, and a. revolu- | tion in business matters throughout the nation. T terrible effects are anticipated, in both our tives polled a much less vote yesterday than they | fall still further this day. foreign and domestic relations, and are beginning to alarm and wake up the people, and particularly the manufacturers and other classes. Hitherto, the moverments at Washington have confined thei effects to isolated parts of the country, but the great mass of the people, including the politicians of all kinds, are beginning to wake up'to the great change, and to prepare measures tor the only remedy which isin their power. That remedy is in the ballot box; and, accordingly, the friends of Henry Clay, in anticipation of all other candidates, have again brought him forward as their candidete. This movement, however, is only preliminary to the contest for the next Congress, which will take place throughout the country next fall. The House of Representatives, whose session begins at the termination ot the session of the present House, will possess the power of electing the President of the United States, provided he be not elected by 4 majority of the people. The movement com- menced in Niblo’s, was one calling on all the friends, young and ancient, of Henry Clay, through- ot the republic, to come forth, and while they are coing that, to prepare for the Congressional elec. tions of 1846 and 1847, on the members ot which, the election for President may devolve, unless he be elected by the people. It will be seen, therefore, that the Presidential canvass |ias already begun, and that the same move- ment is destined to spring up throughout the coun- try, and bring on a crisis in political affairs, that will have an important bearing on our foreign and domestic relations. The times are full of omens. ‘This is the last, aud probably the best chance of Henry Clay. It he now returns to Ashland—write no more leiters on any subject—talk en no politteal topic—attend to bis cows and his fences—mind his Durham breed and his rotation of crops, for the next three years, his chance: are decidedly good, better, best, and brilliant. Other wing candidates oy clear out of the way when Clay comes into THE ELEOTION...THE RESULT. The charter election closed yesterday at eun- | down in a bleze of glory.

In the fourth and sixth wards there | Were small rows, occasioned by the clashing of the | friends of the different candidates for aldermen | there. The damage caused by these rows consist- | | ed principally of a few hats knocked into “cocked | | hats,” and a number of torn coats. A row, however, | | took place in the Fourth Ward about one o’clock, | in which a man was knocked down and considera- | bly injured upon the head. A few officers were de- | spatched from the police office who quickly quelled the disturbance, and all went on peaceably efter- wards. In the two wards of which we have spoken there were two different democratic candidates for Alder- | men and Assistants. One ticket being nominated by the Tammany or old hunker party, and the other by the young and independent democrats of | | those wards. It was very amusing to witness the | | manner in which the friends of these opposing | | candidates plead forthem. ‘ Here” says a ticket | | distributor in the Sixth Ward—“Here’s the poor | man’s ticket, Foote and Gilmartin.” “ Here,” says | another, “is the poor man’s ticket, Vultee and | | Duon.” “No monopoly, no bank, and no Nativ- im,” says Feote’sman. ‘ No monopoly, no bauks, and no Nativism,” says Vultee’s. “‘ Plenty of ‘pra- | | ties’ and work to all,” says one. The same says | | the other, and between the two it appeared to us | very difficult to tell which in reality was the ticket. The polls of the first district of the Second ward | were surrounded during the day with challengers | from the Custom House, and every respectable look ing voter was made to swear in his vote. How | does this agree with the standing rules of the Cus- tom House, that no officer of the government shall | interfere or meddle with elections in any way ? Old | and well-known residents were peremptorily chal- lenged and compelled to swear their vote-straight | through or abandon the privilege of voting, while | others known to be non-residents by these chal- lengers, were permitted to vote without any opposi- ton. | It is said that the native American ticket of the | | 12th ward did not receive the united strength of | the party, in consequence of some of the leaders, in getting up the ticket, rendering themselves some- what obnoxious to the party. In most of the wards the gatherings around the loors were small, most people voting and going im- | mediately away. On the whole it was probably one of the most quiet and orderly elections we have ever had in New York. | The democratic candidate for Alms House Com- | | missioner run ahead of Mickle in some wards and | behind him in others. | ‘Two natives, and two only, are elected.

It is jpectacle and a most amusing sight to bend over from the boxes and look down upon the living masses in the pit below, or upto the waves of life above !— The moment the curtain falls, that instant the pit, hushed still as death bet ia in commotion, like a storm on the ocean after a dead calm, when the waves which, b1 few moments before, were smooth as glass now toss and foam, and rise up angrily, rolling mountain over mountain. Then agein, when the bell rings snd | the curtsin rises, it the sudden and | iustantaneous tran: jooth, and how reedily the crowd hang upon the plaintive moanings of Sire Phillips, the strong agitations of Mr. Davenport, or | the heroic toue and magnificent demonstrations of JR. | Scott. ‘ Lafitte,” and the * Carpenter ef Rouen,” which were performed Jast night, are eminently calculated, KA | their powerful and thrilling intere cite the fee! ings and enchain the audience, as described it.

It would be, }, @ ory: ing shame if the vast population of the upper part of the city had neither spirit, liberality, nor meaus ei to support this theatre, with the immense number of indi- viduals connected with it, who ali depend upon the pub- ic spirit, good taste and liberality of the upper-town ci- tizens, aud on their patrovage and support.

The receipts of the Western Railroad Cempany fo the first quarter this year, compared with that for th corresponding period last year, show an increase equal $115,579 0S «= $183,637 69 $37,053 The increase has been about the eame per cent in ea department. At this rate of inerease the increase this year over the gross receipts of last, will amount to about one and a half per eent. A dividend of five per cent was made from the net earnings last year, sud the prospect present is favorable for a six per cent dividend this year, at least. To realize a net income sufficient to do this, the (increase must continue for the remaining nine ‘months, in the same rate it has been so far. We notice 4a announcement that the cheap trains will be run be- tween Boston and Albany, through in eight hours, leav- ing each end at night, fare three dollars, This may | draw a little from the river travel,but it will improve the M@aances of the railroad company more then it will injure ths steamboat companies on the river. It is stated that the enlargement of the Schuylkill Ca- 1 is progressing repidly, and that in ene mouth from this the lower section will be navigable for the present canal boate as far as Phenixville. The company have put their own forces on the line, and in several instavess have taken entire possession of those contracts which ware delayed for want of sufficient energy onthe part of the contractors. As the work is completed below, the ards will be continued up the line, amd the forees thus doubled on the upper sections. it is anticipated that the whole line will be ready for navigation by the latter end of June or the first of July, and thet nearly or quite two hundred boats of the largest class will be ready ior the navigation of the canal by the time it is completed. ‘The competition between this canal and the Reading Railrosd, is likely to be carried on extensive y than ever, but the facilities, &c., of the railreadfor transporting coal tothe seaboard are se great and their advantages so numerous, that we have great doubts of the policy of the enlargement of the canal, at the im- mense cost incurred. The railroad company have so many facilities for the eonstruction and extension of lateral roads, reaching 811 the mines within miles of tle main track, that they can command the carrying busi- era of the whole Schuylkill region; Srat, becguse they can transport coal so much more expediticusly, and se- | condly, because they can transport it more economidal- ly. Railroads, inthis country, are deztined to supertede canala—there is no comparison betwoen the two modes. of transportation, foreven the most bulky articles. Tt lready been prétty well tested in this cauntry (end it has long been settled in England) that for cerryiog om the coal business, railroads are in every respect supesior to canals. The coal sections of Pennsylvanie and Mery- land will, before the lapse of many years, be completely intersected with railroads. The consumption of eoal in this coyntry is increasing so rapidly that it requires the most expeditious way of getting it te market, to supply the demand. Had it not been for the immense supplies brought to market by the Reading road, lest year, wp have no doubt coal in this city would have been st least filty per cent higher than it was, through the seeson. ‘We annex a table showing the exports from this coun- try to Brazii, and the exports from Brazil to the United States, for two years.
