NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Friday, July 10, 1846. THE WESKLY SBRALD. TWO SPLENDID ILLUSTRATIONS. THE FOURTH OF JULY, AND THE POPS OF ROMB. This interesting sheet will, as usual, be ready on Satur- day morning, at 8 o'clock. Price six cents, with or with- out wrappers. It will contain the latest news from Europe and Mexico, and likewise the debate on the Tariff of 1842 and the vote ‘©n its modification; a correct copy of the bill as passed in the House; a biography of the deceased P Gregory XV1., with an accurate portrait, from the paint. ing in the Vatican, by Paul Delaroche, and a full account of his death. | It will also be embellished with an engraving represent. | ing a rich scene opposite the Park, oa the Fourth of | July, and a full compend of commercial, monetary, and miscellaneous intelligence of the week The Revolutionary Feellug in France=Its | Probable Progress and Effect. The news by the Britannia, important as it is, even in a cursory view, yet, im its details and minutia, presents symptoms and facts pregnant with in‘erest to the political world. The eyes of potentates and diplomatists, though ever appa- rently occupied with “the present, yet, as some prophetic warning is given, turn to the future; and to that part of the nxious glances urtain which veils the destinies of France, speculation turns with seriousness, but scantily concealed. Now, that the head of the Papal dominions, well stricken in years, has gone to the graves of his fathers, the thought naturally arises, who is the next, amid the sovereigns of Europe, to descend from the throne tothe tomb. If age is to be taken as the test, Louis Philippe, now the oldest reign- ing monarch of Europe, will be the next to fail ; and with his demise, will probably commence the grand struggle between republican and mo- narchical principles, under whatever name the | contest may be commenced. The present King of France, by his unceasing efforts for the preservation of pence, coupled to his English predilection—of course securing the co-operation of the English Cabinet—has thus far held firm possession of his throne. The several his position. He has, during his rule, presented | the singular appearance of a king surrounded by | republicans at home, popular abroad; himself a | “strong pacificatay, guiding the movements of a | people fond of military glory, and eager for war. | But the tacit understanding, which seems to ex- ist amongst all orders of the French people, that | all disoord must be avoided, till his death leaves | clear the field of action for another revolution, and with it the terrors of civil war, has been the | main prop to his stability. That Louis Philippe has a popularity among a certain portion of the peopie, who, engaged in mercantile traffic, have reaped the benetit of the peaceful relations existing by his influence, and the ministerial talent gathered around him, can- not be doubted; and from the fact that this cless, through their moneyed influence, have always the power of supplying or withholding the sinews of war, we arrive, probably, at the cause which for so longan erval has restrained the natural impulses @f the majority of the French; though with this majority Louis Philippe and his politi- cal course are forever at real variance. With the } wobles of the ancient régime, with the lower orders, with the army and nevy, and last, though | not least, with the Napoleonists of the coun- try, there exists a feeling diametrically op- Posite to the policy of the present French | ministry, and this feeling, though now suppressed, | must find vent when the question of succession is | broached. The next occupant of the French | throne will probably Le a militaty man ; one who has been brought up in the old school of war, with the true French hatred of perfide Albion, and who will have the desire and heart once more to | cross bayonets with the armies of England, and | try agnin for the supremacy of the seas. The | ngine of Napoleon is still loved by the French | people, and his imagined wrongs cry not loud, but deep, in their bosoms, for revenge. The rash attempt of Louis Napoleon, so fool- | ishly planned and so signally frustrated, was cited | asa proof in England that the influence of the | Napoleon family was forever crushed ; but Prince | Louis, of a branch comparatively unknown, and untried by the people, seized a most un- | propitious moment for a madman’s freak ; and | his failure, in the very first steps of his course, is no evidence that another may not suc- eced. The Prince de Joinville,a name dear to the majority of the French people, appa- rently unites more qualities essentially requisite for the fulfilment of their desires, than any | man now prominent amongst the dignitaries of the country. A prince of blood, he has become a man of the people. From his youth he has been the servant of his country, and as | much from merit as from position by birth, he has arisen to the station which he now holds. He seems at present the only one upon whom the friends of the Bourbons and the devotees of other schools can, with any probability, unite; and his well-known hostility to the English,and his love for America, will not be the least of his qualifications for popularity. Were the Duc d’Orleans himself living, the natural descent might probably be peacefully secured ; buta regency of years’ dura- | tion would of itself give strong temptation for out- | break of public opinion, especially if the Duc de Nemours were to act as regent and guardian of the Prince Royal, now only in his 8th year. Were the rights of the oldest living son to be overlooked, and the Prince de Joinville to be appointed Regent, civil war would, perhaps, be avoided ; but the peace of Europe would be disturbed, and the soil of the continent once more be dyed deep with blood. Those now dominant in the councils or France would be swept away, and the old régime of the Empire, with their supporters, would un- furl to the breeze the banners inscribed with Wagram, Austerlitz, and Marengo. War once | desired, and pretexts innumerable are readily found to excite it. These speculations for the future may be pre- mature, but nons verrons. The next geamer may bring us the news of the death of him | who already numbers more years than three | score and ten, and there are few but his decease will be followed by a zevo- | lution. It is at any rate a well-known fact that France and England have each silently, cautiously, but energetically been preparing for the anticipated contest, even when apparently bound strong in the bands of peace. Let the United States then be prepared for the crisis which may soon come, by her counsels and her actions, to exhibit herself as the model republic of the world. Let her, while the elements of discord will shake the monarchies of the East, make | the most of her position to increase in wealth, | extend her power and influence, so that when | once more the earth is still, she may be found first | and foremost in all that is good and great believe | Procerpixas 1x Conaress.—The members of | the present Congress certainly have a way of disposing of time without disposing of much busi- ness. The graduation bill and the appropria- tion bill passed the Senate yesterday, and the | warehousing bill was debated at some length, without coming to the question. In the House of Representatives, the gradua- tion bill was under discussion. There is no doubt but that this bill will pass and become a law ot the land. None of the great measures of the pession appear to be on the carpet, and they | | | ing two new dresses a year in consequence of it, | | when she can hardly afford to get one, is ndicu- | | and commeyte chiefly will be benefited by such attempts at assassination have but strengthened | * | and the several Indian tribes, on our borders, are | War, and the administration deserves great credit appear to be slumbering between the two houses. | From present appearances, there is very litte | probability of an adjournment before the first of | September. This session of Congress will long | be remembered for its length, and we hope the odium of such a protracted sitting will fell upon the party in the majority, which has the complete control ef the business under consideration. It is now the eighth month of the session, and nothing, in fact, has been done but what could | easily have been accomplished in as many weeks ordays, While the members of both houses are | opposed to an early adjoamment, it is impossible | m { to get them together for the transaction of busi- ness, It is difficult to get even a quorum in the lower house, and about a dozen of the members of the upper house are running over the country, doing anything but attending to their legislative duties, Warenousz Bitt..—We have reason to believe | that if the shipowners ant importing merchants | move in reference to this important measure, and that there is every probability of it being carried Seldom has there been a matter of 6 much con- | sequence to our city brenght before Congress as | this, and it would be a source of lasting regret if | it did not succeed in consequence of the apathy | of those so deeply interested in the passage of the | bill now before the Senate. The opposition of the manufacturers to it is altqgether unwarranted, for although the purport of ft is to allow importers to store their goods for a time, it will not increase the demand for goods | for consumption here. No, the principal object to be gained by it is to encourage foreigners to come here for their supplies—say for Mexico, | when jeace is restored, and other quarters. New | Yorkers are deeply interested in the matter, not only our ship owners and importers, but our real | estate holders also. To suppose that it will add to our consumption | here is absurd, and therefere the alarm which has | been created among our manufacturing interest is groundless. The idea of a poor woman wear- | lous ; and but few of our hard-working mechanics and laborers wilt be able to obtain two coats in- stead of one, even if the warehouse bill is passed. | Let the manufacturers get rid of their absurd and foolish, as well as selfish, fears ; our commerce, What gives London, apart from its ilighty pop- ulation, so much power and wealth? Its im- mense commerce, with its great facilities in the numerous warehouses, furnished by the govern- ment fer the accommodation of those who cannot, on the instant, pay their duties, or who, from an excessive supply, causing a glut at the moment, do not choose to force sales, and have recourse to the public warehouses until the market is relieved from the over-supply. Give us the warehouse bill, and New Orleans, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston and Charleston, ag well as New York, will be largely benefited. But our Chamber of Commerce, and the whole mercantile body, must #tir in the matter, if it is to be carried, Let there be no delay. A large com, mittee should be appointed by the merchants to proceed to Washington, at once, to urge the pas- | sago of this most valuable measure. Our InptanN ReLations.—We are glad to per- ceive that the relations between our government becoming more and more friendly. This will forma main element of our strength, in time of for taking pains to conciliate the redman. We learn that ea new treaty has lately been concluded, by Major Harvey, with the Pot- | tawattamies, by which it is covenanted that the tribe relinquish their lands west of the | Missouri river in Iowa, covering an area of 5,000,000 acres, and that they remove to anew | tract, on the Kansas river. The tribe have also | consented to dispese of a million of acres, held by a band of their nation on the Osage river, the go- vernment stipulating to pay them, therefore, the sum of $850,000 ; such sum to cover all expenses of removal, improvements, purchase of new tract, Xe., &c. Nothing can tend ina greater degree to give vigor and confidence to the American arms than the establishment of friendly relations with the Indians. There are now various tribes repre- sented, by delegations, at the seat of government; and we hope no opportunity will be neglected of proving to them that their best policy is friendship to the United States. | Tut Morwons.—These victims of delusion have atlength been routed from their city, and been scattered over the plains of Oregon, California and the frontiers of Texas, where they will settle and practice their religious rites with freedom. | Since their celebrated Prophet Smith made his | début as a Saint, his adherents and believers have been characterised by an energy and perse- | verance worthy of a nobler cause. In spite of obstacles that appeared to many insurmountable, they succeeded in building a city and erecting a temple that has besome an object of wonderment to travellers. The same spirit has animated them | in all their undertakings. When the command | went forth that was to banish them from their homes and kindred, they grumbled not, but pur- sued their march asa people that were willing to suffer every persecution for the sake of their reli- gion, and viewed it more in the light of an act of their God than an injury committed on them by | their fellow-men. They undoubtedly will be | guided by the same spirit in their new homes, and will again recommence the labor of founding a new city, Tt will be interesting to trace their progress in the Western wilds and mark the course they shall | take. We may have to chronicle the rearing of a | Western empire, which will ere yet exercise an important influence in the affairs of this conti- nent. One hundred and fifty Mormons have just set- tled in Texas, near Austin. | Grory.—We believe it was Byron who defined glory “ to be shot through the body, and his name spelt wrong in the newspapers announcing his death.” In our notice of arrivals we have given Capt. Hawlis for Capt. Hawkins. This inadvertence enables us to notice, with more emphasis, the gallant defender of Fort Brown, after the lament- ed death of Major Brown. Captain E. 8. Hawkins is a native of this State, and is the eldest son of the late Colonel Samuel Hawkins, formerly of this city, who raised a volunteer regiment, and had command at the Narrows, at the close of the last war. He was subsequently agent of the government under the Ghent Treaty, | in settling the Canada boundary, The family of Colonel Hawkias is a brave one; Charles, his second son, was commodoréof the | Texan navy, and died at New Orleans, Captain H., the defend-r of Fort Brown, graduated at West Point, and has been in the service since 1820.

Mats rok ms Agmy or Oocuratiox.—Th® following paragraph, taker from the New Or- leans Times of the lst inst., must be of considera- ble interest to # portion, at ledst, of our readers: Ve are informed that Mr Henry J.

Theatrical and Musical. Bowery Turatne,—The performances last eve- ning were for th® benetit of Mr. Davenport. A very larwe tid Jashionable house was in attendance. The at tractions presented were great. Mrs. Hunt appeared as Constance, in the comedy of the Love Chase,” to Mr. Davenport's Wildrake. It is needless to speak of these performancer—they were both loudly applauded by the ard™Hce.

On the night of the 4th of August, 1845, the theatre having been rebuilt, was opened under the con- trol of the present enterprising and gentlemanly manager, Mr. A. W. Jackson. Everybody who entered the house was struck with the neathess and beauty of it. The de- corations wers stich as eniy expense and pains could | have procured; and the scenery and stage machinery and properties were in a very superior style. In fact the whole establishment seemed to have been reisod from the ashes by a magic bard.

We have no doubt that the next season will be as pleasant to the audiences and profitable to the manager, as this has been. Gneexwicn.—The performances, last evening, were for the benefit of Mr. Freer. They consisted of the “ French Spy,” in which Miss Chapman acted with great effect—the “ Italian Wife,” in which Miss Crauford ap- peared as Bianca, and Mr. Freer as Fazio; and the farce of “ Why Don’t She Marry,” in which Mr Winans ap- jared. Miss Crauford’s Bianca was a fine piece of act- ing. For a first appearanee in the part, it was excellent.

The Convention met at five o'clock P.M. last even- ing.* Dr. Wittiams (the President) inthe Chair. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approve: Reports—Mr. Davies, from the Select Committee, to whom was referred the case of the election returns, ke, of the 11th ward, reported in favor of Messrs. A. Hatfield and James Williams peing Hatfield, previous to this decision, was the only delegate sworn ip Alderman Punpy offered a substitute, directing that a new election take place for two delegates in this ward. (Itis entitled to three.) Mr. Cxaro considered the Convention had not the power to directa new election for this ward, and after reviewing the particulars of the election in relation to the returns, opposed the amendment offered by Alder- man Purdy. r Alderman Purpy felt at a lossto know wi they could find the law applicable to the case before them, as connected with this Convention; and the better wa: to obviate all difficulties, would be to directa new élec- tion. tee Mr. Coox here cited the new election law, wl scribes the mode of election, and which ie contented should govern them in their present decision. Mr. Faexcn, after adverting tothe cause of ficulty in relation to the election returns, mistake on the part of the electors, in confusing the b lots for School Commissioners and Convention Delegates in the 4th District of the 11th Ward, the election for both being held at one and the same time, yd his determination, upon the facts and merits to vote in favor of the report of the Committee. Alderman Hassxovcx was in tavor of the rt. Alderman Purvy asked to be shown the law autho- rizing them to go behind the returns of the Inspectors, Mr. Mactay was of opinion that the delegates were entitled to their seats. A Mr. Frrxcn here offered an amendment, proposing that Mr. John Kelly, one of the candidates elected on the Ast of June last, for the 11th ward, be entitled to his seat. After some further discussion, Mr. McGav remarked, that if there was another elec- tion held, it would be extra-judicial ; and the officers, if they swore in relation to the said election, would be liable to prosecution for perjury. Therefore, the substi tute offered by Alderman Purdy it would be erroneous to accept.

Increase of Visitors—Hon. Mr. Slidetl—The Lake and Sulphur Springs— Serious Accident. Noarly two hundred persqns have come in since yes terday moruing, and the average ertivals for the past three | days have excesded dne hundred and fifty. And there are | 2 large aumber of wealthy and distinguished persons who have sent on dircetions for suits of reoms to be had in readiness when they come. Yesterday, the Hon. John Slidell, of New Orleans, our servants, took rooms at’ the United States Hotel, where he was Greeted by the distinguished mon of the country jow thers. He appears to be in fine health and spirits— n affable, courteous, intelligent man. His lady is in- telligent, amiable, and endowed by nature with the charms of beauty. _ Lhave enjoyed the luxury of q ride 'p the lake, across it, and a visit to the White Sulphur brings. For the benefit of those who may visit the Springs this season, I wish to write @ few words about them. In the first place, the carriage ride of four miles to the lake, is very plea- sant, being over a seat road and through a picturesque and agreeable portion of the country. Arrived at the we find a very t house with delightful groves and walks, in which to spend any time we may wish or be required to wait—or an Tor axercionin bowling. The neat and pleasant mboat R B. Cole- man then conveys those who visit the springs, about seven miles in thirty minutes, to the enchanting and sweet y romantic place of the ba | whe. saloon, with all kinds of refreshments, isfound—and parlors in which to rest or lounge. And here, too. isthe new and spacious hotel, erected in natu ‘ove, for the conve- uience of visitors and boarder ho use the waters for medical purposes, by Messrs. Marvin and others, and which is a most lovely resort,even were there no valu- able springs of healing, invigorating . that should ive it celebrity in every part of the Union. Yet! loubt whether there is to be fotind, any where, a sprin whose waters contain mort of the pure untiixed white sulphur, in this country. In cases where that kind of water is requisite to restore or preserve health, these Spriogs must soon generally employed ; and they will, for their intrinsic value, as weli as the exceeding delightfuiness of the ride. either hy lake or road, (tha lake being deciledly preferable) becomiiig ut) eesential feature of the great attractiveness of this widely known and universally popular summer resort.

Still- water, apd Malta, lift their green and beautiful hills, stretch out their valleys, studded with trees of the forest, or garden around the lake; ond the growing harvest fields, which intervene, as may he seen, at intervals. still more to the enchantment of this short trip. all this, those who desire to enjoy it, may fish in the lake, with every aswtrauce and prospect of success and enjoyment imaginable, at st any time. My advice would be, to all who visit the springs at Saratoga, to go to the White Sulpher Springs also ; if they do so once, they will not need be requested to do so the second time. And asa fellow from the West, who went in company who lost his purse and penknife in the d, V hat is spent in this trip, either in fare or pping overboard, (if not too much in the last way) is amply repaid in the romance, novelty, and beauty of the scenery, the excellence and benefit of the water, and the sweetness of the journey.” Amember of Rockwell and Stone’s circus, who was quietly walking along the street, was run over by a hackman of one of the hotels, and his lower jaw so fractured as to render it necessary to remove some pieces of bone before dressing it. His wounds were dressed, and the surgical operations necessary ciegin with great despatch and with ease and skill. The suffercr is loing well. aie from this accident, the day passed off here with po feed ares toall. A hop was enjoyed by several of the guests at the ™@& S. Hotel, in tho parlor saloon, and fire-works were displayed in the grove at the circular railway. And when the large number of visitors who are on their way from different parts of the country shall have arrived, we shall have as brilliant a season as has occurred for several years. Kornonixod. Newroar, July 3d, 1846. Shots from the Sea-shore.—.4 Fashionable Watering- place. Newport, from which we date, is a quaint, queer, old place; two hundred years old, and over.@It stands, as many know, upon the finest bay in Ameri a bay where, at one time, fifty tall ships of war were outlined on its smooth surface, while the many tiers ef merchant vessels that formed a very forest of masts along the wharves, denoted the commercial prosperity of the place. This was seventy years ago. Alas! what a different as- pect doesthe bay of Newport present at the present day. ‘A few small coasting schooners, here and there a whaler, half-a dozen colliers, and, at Jong intervals, a steamboat may be seen to stop, land a few pee ‘ers, with their bundles, and then proceed on her thoroughfare to Boston or New York. ill it be believed that this almost de- serted harbor at one time not only rivalled, but actually had the advantage of New York in commercial great- ness? Such is the case. Ask an inhabitant of Newport the cause of its commercial decay. He will most er answer you, that it owe: misfortunes to the rong) treatment which it received from the British soldiery during their three years occupation of it in the re- volutionary war. ‘This answer is not intelligent. Had the British razed and demolished Newport, this would have, but slightly, affected its ultimate destiny. It could only have checked its growth for a few years, had there been asource of sustenance; but there was not, and is not. There was no great country behind it to produce the staple of commerce. Nocity can he great, commer- cially, no matter what may be its water advantages, un- less backed by a fine and fertile country.

Her commercial greatness is gone—her warehouses are closed for ever; yet, within a few years, she has discovered a new source of suste- nance, that will, at somo day not distant, make hera flourishing and fashionable city. A new life—a sweet, charming, summer life—is springing up in the midst of her decay, which reminds you of the young sapling shooting forth from the stem of the fallen tree; aspiring, with youthful hope, and vigor,and beauty, to equal, at some day, the Frestoess of thé parent trunk.

These returns so far as they go, will enable those in. ‘ terested to form a pretty correct idea of the movements in the articles enumerated, as they are of an official che- racter. It will be observed, that there are many impor- tant staple articles of importation not included in the list, which makes it rather imperfect. It is our impression, that the aggregate importation of foreign merchundize into this country during the rext ten years, will be less than that for the part ten years, or in other words, that we have reached the maximum in our foreign import trade. Ten years ago, the value of foreign merchandize imported into t.e country, was nearly double what it has been in either of the past three years, notwithstanding the rapid increase in our population within that time; and there is every proba. bility of the importations falling off every year, if the currency does not become inflated much beyond its pre. sent standard. Itis avery great crror to suppose, thata reduction of duty is going to swell the importations to that extent, as to give m larger revenue. There is a limit to our importations when they are re- ulated by the consumption ; and if the currency js este- hed upon a specie basis, they must be regulated by the consumption. If the extent of our importations de- pended upon the rate of duty enforced, then the lower the duty, the greater the revenue: but it must appear plain to every one who will takea common sense view of, the question, that where the domestic supplies are in- | creasing so rapidly, and where the consumption of the necessaries and luxuries of life comprises such a small number of articles not manufactured or produced within our own limits, that the aggregate importation must steadily decline, in the face of any tariff, no matter how reduced may be the average. We are so thoroughly impressed with this belief, that it is our opinion thate revenne sufficient for the support of the Governmeut will have to be raised in some other way besides orin connection with a duty upon imports. Our mannfac™ turers have become so well established, that they can live and thrive under any rate of du y any tariff may em force. They ean maintain their ground under any ‘ariff that will produce revenue enough to support Govern ment; in fect they can live when the Government o n- not; and it is therefore, in fact, of very little importance to them what standard the Government mey elopt in regulating ite revenue laws. It is true that the profits of the manufacturers will be fore time much reduced by any reduction in the tariff, but their progress and in crease will, notwithstanding, be steady, and upon «be sis more substential than under @ high taiff’ The in- creased production of many articles which were, ten or filteen years ago, extensively imported, is suftici ent evi- dence that afew more years must suffice to reduce the importation of these articles, so that the revenue from that source will be merely nominal. We could point out many instances in illystration of this fact, but one will suffice st this moment. Fifteen years ago nearly ~
