NEW YORK HERALD. | New York, Sunday, May 24, Ina. Foreign News. It is expected that the.Great Britain will cross the At- Jantic in fifteen days. If so, she will be here sometime to- day The Mexican War. Whatever news of importance reaches us to-day from | the Rio Grande will be published in an Extra Herald. Important from England.—A New Line of Steamers to New York. We understand, from the best authority in Eng- land, that the British government have made an arrangement with Mr. Cunard, to run a line of steam ships frem Liverpool to New York—to commence as soon as the ships are ready, which will be next year. The» present line to Halifax } and Boston will be continued, as it at present is; and the ships for the New York line will sail every alternate week. Mr. Cunard will probably reach this country by the Hibernia, when all the particulars of this important enterprise will be known. This is a most important piece of enterprise, and ought to shame the folly and indecision of | our imbecile and wordy government. While the President, the Postmaster-General, and Congress are quarreling, peddling and pettifogging, about a line of steamers in New York, Queen Victoria’s government steps into the vacant field, at once, and lays the keels after a week’s negotiations. These steamers will be about 1700 tons each. ‘Templeton and the Black Mall Critics. The card of Mr. Templeton, the celebrated vocalist, has begun a controversy involving the character of the press of New York, and the prac- tices of some of its attachés, which will lead to the developement of some curious facts, that will tend to set the public right in certain matters hitherto hid in the dark, Let us begin this de- velopement at once. Every one who is a patron of the musical art, remembers the highly successful debut of Mr. ‘Templeton in this city last fall. He made his ap. pearance about the same time last year that De | Meyer did at the Park. Both these celebrated artists produced a wonderfull sensation in the pub- lic mind. Templeton, after his brilliant debut in New York, visited many of the surrounding towns and cities, returned to New York, gave more concerts here—all of which were crowded— and at last wound up with a concert for the ben- efit of the public charities of this city, the pro- ceeds of which were distributed under the super- intendence of the Mayor. Thus far all went well. His character and his talents were both highly appreciated by the public, and he left for the South with éclat. As soon as Templeton had left New York, symp- toms became apparent in a certain portion of the newspaper press,—a portion that has little repu- tation and less circulation,—hostile to Templeton, not so much as a vocalist, as arising from certain private grudges or disappointments of a selfish and mercenary nature. The first sympton of this spirit of malignity developed itself in aun evening paper of limited circulation, less character, and no talent whatever. .As the | attacks on Templeton continued, many of his | friends began to inquire into the cause; and on in- | vestigation, found, to their great astonishment, | that one, if not more, (including also a hair dresser) of the attachés of the disreputable press, were at | | | vention must be deemed highly advantageous, | » Benjamin Reynolds & Brothers, of Kinderhook, a | tion of paying their demands, will “recoil ‘upon their own heads, and 6x68 them to the contempt of the public. New AND ExTRaonpINany War Enoine.—We witnessed yesterday, at the arsenal in thiscity, | an experiment, before a large body of scientific | and intelligent gentlemen, on a new and extraor- | dinary engine of war, which has proved-entirely | successful, and cannot fail to arrest the attention of the government at this crisis, when such an in- and eminently worthy of immediate adoption in the naval and military service of this country.— This invention has been before the country for the last seven or eight years ; but our pacifie relations with foreign powers, and a culpable carelessness on the part of the government, have allowed it— \ike many other useful and valuable improve- ments in modern science—to pass unnoticed, and without encouragement to the inventor. This de- structive weapon is called by the inventors, Messrs. | “ Projecting Engine.” The principle upon which it is constructed, is perfectly simple—and it is ea- | pable of propelling twenty, thirty, or any number of balls, bya centrifugal power, to the ordinary dis- tance as that by either a cannon or musket,and with equal force and velocity. This engine is worked in | the same manner as the fire engine—by the aid of | manual labo-—nnd with the power of steam, could be made far more effective, in storming a fortress, than a regular battery. There is neither steam, nor powder, nor gas, nor any of the ordi- nary aids which are required to work engines of | war. The model, which we have seen, resembles | a windlass, placed horizontally, at the upper verge | of which is placed a small barrel, about the size of a blunderbuss. Fourteen leaden balls, weigh- | ing each one and a half ounce, were placed at a certain part of the engine, and four men were set | to work, in the same manneras if they were turn- | ing a winnowing machine. Having worked the | engine, which was placed a distance of seventy or | eighty yards from a target, with moderate strength, | the balls weré propelled with a velocity equal to | that of a musket, and shattered to pieces and per- | forated the plank. The inventor states that it is | capable of projecting one thousand balls a minute, | and could do execution equal to one hundred | muskets. But this model is capable of being ap- plied to large cannon. Ata cost of a few thousand dollars, within two months, the inventor could | construct one or more projecting engines, capable | of propelling acannon-ball, with equal power and | velocity asif shot from the ordinary cannon by | the aid of powder; also, of discharging one thou- sand per minute, by the aid of steam-power. The present model was carried out to Havana in the ship Norma, by the gentlemanly captain of that vessel, Richard H. Ellis, and was exhibited before the Governor of Cuba, who expressed him- self highly pleased, and gave his decided appro- bation of the invention. Generals Storms and Arcularius, Robert McClelland, H. Vail, and several distinguished men of science and mi- litary tactics, have, also, expressed themselves highly satisfied with the success which has attended the experiment. Some of the bullets projected from this extraordinary engine, remain | at our office, and are as flatas a Mexican dollar. We trust that Mr. Reynolds will make another ex- | periment,on a more extended scale, as such an en- gine at present would be a powerful auxiliary to | our naval and military service. Reuigion anp Art.—In the primitive days of our puritan fathers, when our simple-minded the bottom of it, and that one of them was at one and the same time abusing him in the newspa- | per and writing private letters to Templeton | himself, affecting great friendship, and making demands upon his purse for money or black mail. | | | In the defence of Templeton, and to show the motives of the men, these facts were made pub- licatthattime. Having discovered that there was | evidence in possession of a gentleman of this city, | substantiating the correctness of the statement that demands were made on Templeton, by a | certain set of low musical critics, attached toa disreputable portion of the press,iwe made it our business to ascertain the fact; and having dis- covered where these letters were, we procured | have been constructed in various parts of the them, and on our own responsibility entirely, and | without the knowledge of Templeton or any other | person, we published them, and proved the alle- gations against his enemies. Immediately the base conspirators raised a ery of violation of con- fidence, and charged it to Templeton himself. A more base falsehood was never put forth. We published these letters—we procured these letters on our own responsibility—no one knew of the purpose for which we intended to use them; and yet it is irresistibly ludicrious, to” hear those fifty dollar marauders on art and artists, attempt | to set up a hue and cry about violation of confi- dence, when their tricks are discovered, and their mercenary designs exposed. With as much pro- priety might the bandit who robs on the highway, upbraid his accuser of a violation of confidence, when justice was about to overtake and send him to winter quarters in the State prison. | We have facts and documents in our possession, | which may yet be called forth, showing the exis- | also, in Europe. tence in this city, of a clique of miserable news- | paper critics, whose whole business is to impose on great artists, and also on the respectable por- tion of the newspaper press. The malignity with which Templeton has been assailed during his Southern and Western tour, was caused by the utter defeatawhich these leviers | of black mail had sustained from him. But this | is not all. One of the individuals in this confe- deracy, who is well known in certain barber shops, has actually commenced an action against Tem- pleton, and presented a bill of particulars, amount- ing to nearly two thousand dollars. Some of the | charges in this bill, are for the cost of introducing Templeton to the editors in this city, and others | are charges for writing musical puils of Temple- ton, in the Herald, the Courier §& Enquirer, the Ex- press, Evening Post, and probably other papers. | One of our law reporters, in the pursuit of his dai- | ly avocations, made this extraordinary discovery, and found that certain persons in this city, had ac- tually sold the services and influence of the editor of this and other papers, in the shape of theatri- cal pufls, without their knowledge or consent. Attempts had thus been made secretly, to | dupe Templeton, and to affect to sell to him the influence of all the principal papers in this city, of any reputation, and to charge him for the in- fluence of these papers, the same as one would sell a negro in the New Orleans market. The evidence that these attempts were made, is now on the records of a Court of law in this city. Thus much to-day in this singular and amusing affair between Templeton and the black mail confederacy of the smnall critics who are attached toa portion of the disreputable press of this city. What we have said in this matter, we have evi- dence in our possession to prove—evidence exist- ing on the records of one of our judicial tribunals. | A full exposure of the attempt of this disreputa- ble and unprincipled set of men, will reveal to the world one of the most impudent and amusing movements to levy black mail on an artist, that we have ever heard of. We have no doubt whatever of the truth of these matters, for we know that similar attempts have been made upon every great artist, musician or actor, who has come to New York. We have heard a great deal of black many charges of black mail, during the last two or three years. We have now the evidence in our possession | which goes to prove that there is a black mail con- | federacy connected with certain portions of the press of this city ; and when all the circumstances are revealed, the true leviers of black mail will be exhibited to the world, ‘Tho efforts made by these men to destro mail, and | construction; and, no doubt, their prayers were as | company—* Ocean Steam Navigation Company” — ’ y Tem: | Cath pon, because he would not subwlt to the extore | and devout ancestors were paving the way for- Christian enlightenment, they offered up their orisons in edifices of simple design and acceptable and efficacious as those of their more refined and civilized descendants. These were times when the rude hut, and ill-constructed log-cabin, formed the chief tenement for the religious and the devont; and often, too, under the naked canopy of heaven, have those hardy pioneers of Christianity been wont to offer up their matin worship. But these days have passed | away, to be succeeded by the “Golden Age” in the churches. Temples of modern worship country, and particularly in this city, that surpass, in gorgeous design and costliness of execution, some of the palaces of our European sovereigns. Apart from the vast outlay of money required for | transporting the materials from some neighboring | | State, the gorgeous design and execution of some | of onr modern edifices of public worship, are to- tally at variance with the spirit of true religion, and of the republican institutions under which we live. For instance,Trinity Church. This superb edi- fice has recently been finished, and the rich style of architecture—the magnificence of the interior— showing a refinement in art and execution, that nearly equals the best efforts of some of the ancient masters in the arts—would make this tem- ple of worship a suitable edifice for some showy monarch of the old world, to worship in state. The great window, in the e ofthe church, sur- passes any thing of the kind on this continent ; and may be said to equal any thing of its kind, The’ highly polished marble | floor—the soft and downy cushioned pew—the | luxuriant style in which the whole interior is fitted | up—with the superb adjuncts of a costly organ, | | and costly chime of bells, betray a desire on the | part of the spiritual guides who keep the souls | of their congregation in their holy keeping, to | wed religion and art together, and carry out the | design, perhaps, through the whole of the church- | es on this continent. Grace Church next follows | suit. St. Paul’s and St. John’s are less pretend- ing; and should this thirst for show succeed, reli- | gion will undoubtedly meet with a check which | may prove fatal to its true interests. When Christ preached to his followers, he sought not the downy couch, nor the carpeted floor ; for his gos- | pel tells us “His path was strewed with thorns; and we question if prayer be more acceptable to | the Great Jenovan in such costly buildings, than | in our chaste and simply constructed churches. However, we must “go with the stream,” as the proverb says; for itis ‘the taste of the age.” Ocran Sream Navication.—We have glanced atanact passed by our Legislature, at the con- clusion of its last session, authorizing the incorpo- ration of a company, for “Ocean Steam Naviga- tion,” in this city—with a view to open a line be- tween this port and some of the ports of Europe. The act, after citing the name of the proposed and making provision for the appointment of a board of directors, and the opening of a share list, specifies the rules and bye-laws which are to regulate the company, and has appended a copy of the contract of Mr. Edward Mills with the go- vernment, which proposes to go into operation in March 1847, for conveying the mails by steam from New York to Cowes, in England, and thence to Bremenhaven, in Germany, to return by the same route to New York. The subscription list will be‘open on the 28th, 29th and 90th instant, and the company propose to form a capital of $1,000,000. They will, however, commence oper- ations on half that amount, $500,000. We fee! | assured that the company will be immediately | formed. Its advantages to our rising city would | be incalculable, | erence DirtomaticMove uents.—The Hon. Romuls | M. Saunders, successor to the Hon.

They told me that no males, less of age resident in the above States. would . (pore; death being the required sacrifice, and @ general is cation and plundering of all moveable property, and the women to be abandoned to the mere: order to facilitate their diabolical schemes, they had con- veyed to the Indian territory an incredible amount of munitions of war, such as powder, lead, rifles, revolving pistols, bowie knives, with every other necessary accom- paniment for an invasive excursion of this nature, and | they, the Mormons, are well known, without probably a solitary exception, indepen of sex, to be armed cap a pie. They warned me, and desired that | should commu- niente these facts to others of their brethren, in order that no unnecessary delay would occur in their joining the mass now forming in the wilderness. I now feel called upon, in accordance with the dic- tates of my conscience, to state, that during the month of May, 1844, at whi e | was a Mormon, that an oath was required of me, and administered kg the Pro- past Joe Smith, at which period he explained fully the rine of the Priesthood, the principal part of which is that it is their imperative duty to select from here the sisters in good standing, such a number to be spiritual wives as could be attended to, and it was a matter of in- differenec, whether they had husbands at the time or not He told me that such was the law and requirements of the Celestial Kingdom; that could be no poor re doing so, because he had it revealed to him by Almighty God. He declared the government of the United States to be corrupt, tyrannical and infamous, and the time fast approaching ‘When he would establish such a ono as would be most suitable and applicable to the Saints. His revelation required that I should uphold the Saints in all things, and, if necessary, commit perjury, or even mur fo further their objects and interests. He then laid pon my hoad and blessed me, in the name of the ind ordained me to the order of Melchisidec priest- I then came under the covenant of said orde: namely: That I would divulge no secret whatevei which might be revealed to me from time to time by the Prophet or the church; that a violation of this by any of the high priest quorum, would most assuredly be visited by death, accor ing to the united agreement of those murderous villains.” These facts would have been laid before the public long ere this time, had it not been that my personal security demanded a different course. Even now, the danger of my assassination by theso robbers, thieves and murderers, is very great. REUBEN DANIELS. Keokuk, 25th April, 1846. From tHe Mormon Camr.—We learn that the Saints are now encamped on one of the branches of Grand Ri- ver, where, it is said, they will put in 2500 acres of corn. [From the Hancock Eagle Extra.) To tne Citizens or Hancock County.—The under signed again deoms it his duty to appear before you in a circular. It may not be known to all of you, that on the day after my detachment was disbanded at Carthage, I received or- ders from the Executive, to muster them into service again, and remain in the county until further orders. Thave now been in Nauvoo with my detachment a week, and can say to you with perfect assurance, that the demonstrations made by the Mormon population are unequivocal. They are leaving the State, and preparing to leave, with every means which God and nature hi placed in their hands. Five ferry boats at this place running night and day, and many are crossing at Nas! ville and Fort Madison. This ought to be satisiactory.. s desire the removal of the Mormons peaceably, and with all possible d patch. ‘All’ aggressive movements, therefore, against them at this time, must be actuated by a wanton desire to shed blood or to plunder. This course, I know, is deprecated by three-fourths of the Anti-Mormon population, and must notbe indulged in. 1 therefore exhort all good citizens to stay at home, with an assurance that they shell be dul, sivieed of sll movements which may take place, in which, they may be interested, ‘Aman of near sixty years of age, living about seyen miles from this place, was taken from his house a few nights since, stripped’ of ‘his clothing, and his back cut to pieces with a whip, for no other reason than be- cause he was a Mormon, and too old to make successful resistance. Conduct of this kind would disgrace a horde of savages. Capt. Agnew, near Pontoosuc, has received written or- ders over the signatures of Major M’Calla and Col. Levi Williams, to rendezvous his company at Pontoosuc next Friday, armed and equipped according to law ; and other notices ofa similar character I have no doubt, have been issued to other portions of the county. How Squire McCalla and Col. Williams can reconcile conduct of this kind with the resolutions adopted at Car. thage, a few weeks since, determining to await the action of the neighboring counties, (in the adoption of which re- solutions they both acted a conspicuous part,) itis not for me to say. But I beg leave to remind them that an order was issued last fall, (when the troops came into the coun- ty,) that not more than four armed men should assemble together, other than the State troops. The order has never been withdrawn and will be enforced. ‘The force under my command is numerically small ; but backed as I am by the moral force of the law’, and posses- sing as I do the confidence of nine-tenths of the respectable portion of the old cilizens, my force is able to meet suc- cessfully any mob which can be assembled in the county, and if any such force dogs assemble, they or I will leave the field in double quick time. ‘To the Mormons | would ety, go on with your prepara tions, and leave as fastas you can. Leave the fig ting to ‘be done qy my detachment. If we are overpowered, then recross the river and defend yourselves and property. The neighboring counties, under these circumstances, cannot an ill not lend their aid to an unprovoked and unnecessi tack upon the Mormons at this time, and, without rach few desperadoes in this county can , th do but little mischief, and can be made amenable to the Jaw for that little.

Hramax Kixe.—The funeral of this veteran fireman takes place this afternoon at 5 o'clock, from his late resi- dence in Rose street. We have no doubt it will be fully attended by his brother firemen. Acciprnt.—A little girl, named McDonald, aged about four years, while playing on sidewalk in front of her father’s house, was down and run over by a baker’s cart, whose horse had run away with it from be- fore the owner's door. The eer, very much injured on the head, and is not expected to live. It was a culpa- ble neglect of the baker to leave the horse unhitched. A Disnorrst Porter.—Mr. G. B. Crandall, a thread manufacturer, gave a hand cartman two cases of thread, esterday, to carry to a house down town, which he failed in doing—neither the thread nor the porter having been since heard of. Persons should be careful in deliv- om! goods to carmen or porters, to take their numbers. By this means any one, if he has a number, can be found in a short time, and those without numbers should never be entrusted with goods.

On being called upon to state whether he had anything to say why judgment should not be pronounced, he proceeded to address the Court in an able, eloquent and affectin, manner, stating, as on a former occasion, that he ha ‘been led into the commission of the offence by a member and hoped, under these and other circumstances, which he previously alluded to, in’ reference to Les and disconsolate wife, &c., the Court would deal leniently with him, The Court, after suitably admonishing the un- fortunate young man, (a Polander,) for being led to co: mit such an offence, under the circumstances that he is a person of superior attainments, sentenced him to be im- ing the shortest period prescribed by law. ward Quinn, a lad about 16, found guilty of a burgla- in the Ist degree, in having broken into the premises jo. 592 Broadway, occupied as a dwelling and shop by Mr. Burke, plumber, and stealing a quantity of brass water cocks, was then placed at the bar, and sent to the House of Refuge.

Considerable auxiety exists for further and more definite accounts from the seat of war. Long Island went up j per cent; | Canton, 1; Harlem, 1}; Reading, 1}; Morris Canal, 1; Pennsylvania 5s, 1; and Norwich and Worcester, }. Tho sales of some of the fancy railroad stocks were large, particularly of Harlem, more than twenty-five hundred | shares changing hands, | ‘There was no second board to-day, the room in which the brokers hold their meeting, undergoing the process | of whitewashing and scrubbing. We hope this purifica- | tion will have a very favorable effect upon tho brokers, | and produce a corresponding improvement in their opera- tions. There is no way of accounting for the advance in stocks, unless it has been produced by the bears, for the | purpose of getting up prices, in the hope of getting | new contracts, and then depressing the market again to | the old level. |. Foreign exchange is in very limited demand, and the | rates rule lower than has been realized for months. | Prime sterling bills we quote at 9} a 9} per cent premium, | Our advices by the Britannia state that the packets | leaving Liverpool are crowded with freight, from which | we should judge that the importations for the fall trade were coming in early, but it is no evidence of their being larger than usual. ! ‘We alluded sometime since to the railroad monopoly | of New Jersey, and the effect of that monopoly upon. fares The Camden and Amboy company, in their ad- dress to the people of New Jersey, in relation to this sub- ject, say that ‘the State of New Jersey, without evor having paidone dollar, has derived from her lessees and partners in this monopoly, 2,000 shares of stock, worth | nearly $260,000; has received in transit duties and divi | dends, up to the Ist day of January last, no less a sum into her treasury than $531,213 04; and during the last | year $59,497. Its receipts last year were equal to one- fifth of the net revenue of tho works—the dividends paid during the year 1845, to the stockholders, 29,000 shares, at $9 per share, amounted to $252,000, while the State received $59,497, or nearly 20 por cent of the whole amount.” The Oswego and Syracuse Railroad Company, was organized at a meeting of the stockholders, held in Os wego, on the 14th inst. Alvin Bronson was elected Presi, dent, and Luther Wright, Treasurer. The State Treasurer of Pennsylvania expresses the ut- most confidence in the prompt payment of the interest on the public debt of that State, due in August. He is now in Philadelphia, using his best exertions to bring about that important result, and we have the greetest confidence in the success of his efforts. It would be a most unfortunate occurrence should there be any default in the next pay ment, or in any future payment. A relapse into delin quency would plunge that State almost tnto hopeless bankruptcy; and the people of Pennsylvania have an im- mense responsibility on their shoulders, not only in rela- tion to the credit of thelr own State, but on account of the immense moral influence their resumption exerted over | other delinquent States. We trust the people of each and | every county in the State will come forward and prompt- 1y meet every demand from the County Tressurer, so a8 to enable him to meet the requisitions made upon their county by the State Treasurer. The interest can be paid: if the people wil) only second the effurts of the Treasurer of the State, and we have no doubt it will be done, and thecredit of the State preserved. The Supreme Court of Maryland has decided a ques tion Important to banks and businessmen. A note was deposited for collection—it was protested—the depositor sued the endorser; but he freed himself by proving that he was not personsily called on by the notary public ; whereupon the depositor sued the bank, the signer of the note not being good. The court decided that the bank was not responsible for the course of the notary, he being apublic oftcer. The bank was bound to give him the ‘note for protest within a certain time, and that ‘was done, and so the jury was instructed to give 3 verdict for de- fondauts. ‘Anact repealing the charter of the River Raisin Bank passed both branches of the Michigan Legislature, pre- ‘vious to the adjournment.
