NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Friday, July 24, 1846, Our Illustrated Weekly. The Weekly Herald of this week will be a very valuable publication. It will be ready at 8 o’elock to-morrow morning. It will contain all the late foreign news bronght by the Cambria and Great Britain ; Mr. Bennett’s interesting letters from England; the Con- gressional proceedings, &c. &c. It will be embellished with a splendid view of the steamship Great Britain in her new rig; and an excellent portrait of Lord John Russell, the new Premier of England. Agents can send in their orders. The American Army: We give, on the outside of this day’s Herald, the official list of the promotions and appoint- ments in the army of the United States, since the Ist of last January. It will be seen with pleasure, that the heroes of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma have not been forgotton by our govern- ment. The Last Days of the Seasion. We have made arrangements to have full, gra- phic and particular accounts of the proceedings of Congress during the last days of the session. There remains now very litle time in which to dispose of the immense number of private bills’) thatremain on the calendar, as well as the tariff and other important questions that remain still in abeyance. The proceedings of the remainder of the session will, therefore, be of the most exciting and gra- phic description, and will be looked to witha greut deal of interest throughout the country. Our arrangements are all perfected for giving daguer- Teotype sketches of the bustling scenes which may be expected to take place in the halls of Congress from thf¥ time forward, until the 10th proximo. Our Congressional reports will, therefore, be a prominent feature in the paper for the remainder of the session. The Tartff—Compromise Contemplated. Desperate diseases require desperate remedies; and the seat of government is, at this moment, the scene of operations of the most important na- ture, the result of which is yet involved in much doubt and uncertainty. The consideration of the tariff question has drawn to Washington crowds of those deeply interested in the preservation of the present bill, and immense efforts are being made to defeat the bill of reductions as it came from the lower House, The contest is very clcse, and will be doubtful to the last moment. It is anticipated that several important amendments will be proposed by some of the democratic Sen- ators, for the purpose of reducing, or modifying the ad valorem feature in the new bill. It is also stated that Mr. Webster intends offering a com. promise, or a substitute for a portion of the pro- posed bill. The annexed table exhibits the com- promise Mr. Webster has in contemplation.— | Whether it will meet the views of the majority, or not, remains undetermined :— PROPOSITION FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE TARIFF BILL NOW BEFORE THE SENATE. Strike out the first five sections of the bill, and insert— ‘That from andafter the first day of December next, there shall be a reduction of 25 per cent. of the duties, whether specific or ad valorem. now imposed by law on articles of imported merchandise, whereon duties ceeding 30 per cent. ad valorem’ are now charged, cepting brandy andother spirits, distilled from grain or other materigls, ani wines: Provided, nevertheless, ‘That duties on articles now charged with more than 30 per cent.,shall nut be reduced below 30 par cent. Strike out the 7th, 8th, and 9th sections.

It proposes a duty upon tea and coffee, that will produce a re- venue of four millions two hundred and twenty thousand dollars. A tariff bill based upon this principle, withthe proposed reduotions in the specific dtiog, will | , Ageording to the estimates, give a net revenue of nearly twenty-eight millions of dollars. | Ali modifications of tariffs should be made in | this way; they should be gradual, and be made | where experience has pointed out they are requir. | ed. We would ask any reasonable man if the | best interests of the country require a complete revolution in the principles which have heretofore governed those who have legislated upon this branch of our commercial policy? Is it not more of an experiment than we are justified in adopting at thistime? We do not doubt for a moment the sincerity and honesty of those with whom this measure originated, as we believe they are firmly convinced that the principle they propose is not only perfectly feasible, but for the real interest and permanent prosperity of the country. Even upon the ground that it was, it would not be wise to bring it into operation so suddenly—it would be better to adopt a compromise and approach the point proposed gradually, for the purpose of pre- venting any derangement in our foreign trade, and to permit all the ramifications of trade to con- form themselves to the new scale of things. We should think that the experience of the past sixteen years, was sufficient to satisfy every one, that experiments in relation to financial or com- ' mercial systems, invariably result in a derange- ment in these systems and ruin to the commercial | classes. The perseverance with which this new tariff bill has been put forward, and the efforts made by the government to secure its passage, | have given us the impression that it must be con- sidered the principal point the party had to carry, | and upon its success rested the permanency of | their principles. There is, probably, no other | ; measure in the whole commercial policy of the | government, upon which the people are more | sensitive, and which tends more to create | revolutions in the position of the two political par- | ties, than the tariff; and it, therefore, is of the highest importance, that any alteration or modifi" cation contemplated should be properly weighed | and considered before proposed. | The adoption of the ad valorem tariff bill, will create a political revolution in this country before the next Presidential campaign, and we warn the | party in power against it. We would counsel | | them to be wise in season, and to leave undone | those things they should not do—in other words te | | let wellalone. If the defects in the present bifl | | were pointed out and remedied, we should have a | tariff as perfect as possible to obtain, at least one | | much more perfect than that proposed. | | The proceedings in Congress yesterday were | | not very interesting or important. Several | petitions were presented in favor of preserving the tariff of 1842, which were erdered to be | | printed, by the casting vote of the Vice-Pre: \ dent. We think the vote of Mr. Haywood, | | against laying these petitions on the table, rather | curious. What effect the resolutions of the New Hampshire legislature may have upon the demo- | cratic Senator from that State, remains to be | seen. The House was engaged in the disposal of im- | | portant bills, and adjourned at an early hour. InTgRESTING ANTIQUITIES——CORRESPONDENCE | | PROM Cutaras.—We commence to-day, in an- other column, the publication of a series of inte- | resting letters from Ciudad Real, the capital of | Chiapas. They are the productions of Mr. Emil Herbrugger, a professor of music, who is travel- | | ling through that country on a professional tour. | | They will be found to contain a great deal of inte- | | resting information regarding the habits of the | 1 Sadat of Chiapas. the department, prepared by that gentleman, one | which we believe to be the most accurate yet | made. Mr. Herbrugger has also sent us number of curiosities and antiquities, picked up on his travels, which are very curious. Any thing that serves to throw light on the his- | tory, geography, or the habits of the people of that portion of the country, of which Mr. Her- | brugger treats, must possess a great deal of inte- | rest atthe present time. It is only now that the | people of Yucatan and the southern part of Mex- | ico are beginning to know anything of a liberal form of government; and, frem this time forward, the march of free opinion, in that portion of the | world, will be onward. It is also butlately that the attention ef this country has been turned to the affairs of Mexico and Yucatan. Now, how- ever, every species of information regarding those countries, will be sought after with great eagerness. | In this point of view, these letters will, we | doubt not, be eagerly relished by our readers. | | Tue Barris Painantmmory AND THE SLAVE ‘Trapgk.—We clip the following from the Trinidad | Spectator : “ Yesterday there was witnessed in the yard at Go- vernment House a sce! i a scene bearing a striking nessed in a professed slave market. The Indian Immi- frente, by the Lord William Bentinck, from Madras, and the Cadet, from Calcutta, amounting to four hundred and fifty three, were distributed gratis to the favorite appli canta by immigrant Agent General, gh oy | \ Cuban style. 11 Spportioning to | = bed tive nebers ‘! for, no regard Geena | | was to the ties of fa ly or friendship.

Shall such things be tolerated in Trinidad in 1946 7 | If this is not slave dealing, and that too of the worst kind, we would like to know what it is.— Such scenes as that already mentioned above, are rarely, ifever, witnessed in the United States i —never now-a-days. Itis reserved for the hu- | mane British, who are daily exhausting the Bil- | lingsgate vocabulary in denouncing the slavery of America, to perpetrate these enormities, and that too£under the sanction of law, and the plea of be- nefitting the blacks.

The latest intelligence from Mexico indicates that the severe lessons which General Taylor and the American forces administered to Paredes and | | jhe Mexicans on the Rio Grande, have not had the effect that was anticipated they would have | had in convincing the unprincipled rulers of that country, that ‘t would be madness to prolong @ coritest so manifestly unequal. On the contrary, it would appear that these lessons have been dis- regarded, and that they are determined, once | more at least, to measure lances with their pow- erful opponent, in the hope, though dismal, that success may yet perch upon their banners, in spite oftheir late defeats, and the consequent in- | jury of the morale of their troops. With this view | the most vigorous exertions are being made by the Mexican Oongress, and by private individuals, to combine all the elements of strength for the purpose of prosecuting the existing war, and providing for the national defence. We published in our papers of Wednesday and | | | | | tions, so far asthey were then known, but we think it advisable to recapitulate them in this ar- ticle, as we consider them of the highest import- ance, indicating that this war will never be con- cluded until the thunder of American cannon is heard, perhaps, in the centre of the city of Mex- ico—in the veritable halls of the Montezumas. | It appears that General Bravo is installed Pre- | sident, ad interim, and Paredes appointed com- mander-in-chief of the army. Preparations had | been made for suppressing all internal dissensions | by the sword, for the purpose of uniting the phys | sical and pesuniary strength of all the depart- | ments; the city of Mexico was being put into a | state of defence, and made capable of sustaining | the attacks of a foreign enemy; and what is most strange and wonderful, the inhabi- tants of Alvarado and ether places, were freely handing in voluntary subscriptions to | | replenish the treasury, 90 that it could meet all necessary demands that may be required for prosecuting the war. ‘Che influence of the priest- hood can be at once perceived in this latter move- ment, for it is unprecedented for the Mexicans to offer voluntary assistance in men and money to their government. And no doubt the whole na- tion to a man, is determined to retrieve their honor, if possible; and inflict vengeance on the American forces. Let us so understand them at any rate. We think, then, probably, that’the Mexican war will be prolonged beyond the period supposed by many, These extraordinary and unheard of move- ments, are convincing proof, that nothing short | of a war conducted in the most vigorous and de- | cisive manner, will ever conquer a peace with | | our unfortunate neighbors. They are intent upon | making a great stand; and it becomes us, as @ pow. erful people, to make such a demonstration, as will convince them of our ability to defeat their greatest armies, by administering another dreadful lesson, and following up the blow to the capital, where we can dictate a peace on our own terms, These preparations by the Mexicans, are un- doubtedly known to the United States govern- ment, who are taking active measures to defeat them. The measures that are being pursued under the direction of General Taylor are on a | stupendous scale, and will, when completed, and carried out, enable that gallant officer to pursue his march, and strike terror into the heart of the We also have « map of | country. The naval preparations, too, are stu- | pendous, and when completed will enable our gallant tars to storm the hitherto considered im- | pregnable fortress of St. Juan de Ulloa, and pave the road for the reception of an army that will | proceed to the capital. It is well known that a council of naval officers is now in session at Washington, which; was convened for the pur- pose, it is suid, of deciding upon an attack on this port. It is believed that the opinion among | our naval officers is generally in favor of storming it, and that naval preparations commensurate with the undertaking, have been entered into with vigor and animation. The following list comprises the names of the vessels at present in the Gulf, and about to pro- ceed there, which will form a squadron capable of accomplishing this object without a shadow of doubt :— SQUADRON IN THE GULF OF MEXICO, AND FOR THE ATTACK ON BAN JUAN DE ULLOA.

These two squadrens will comprise a larger na- val force than was ever put forth by the United States; and manned and officered as they wil! be, by the best men in the world, they cannot fail of accomplishing all that will be required of them. We hope, however, that the different comman- ders will discountenace any abortive steps, like those undertaken by the St. Mary’s at Tampico. No move should be made without those engaged in it being certain of success, for failures like the one we have mentioned, reflect diseredit on our gallant navy, and serve to inspire the enemy with courage, although the cond ct of our officers and men may have been never so galiant. There is a great deal to be done by the United States in this war. We have not only to conquer a peace—an honorable and lasting peave, on our terms, and with security for its continuance, but we must do something that will show the nations of Europe that democracy in war is as powerful and efficient as a monarchy | We must show them that we are capable of maintaining the proud stand we occupy Se | @mong the family of nations, and of promptly U.

Successor to Sir Robert Peel, do, The world has reached a point that demands that war shall not be procrastinated, but speedily | ended, Every nation is more or less dependent upon the other, and a state of war affects, ina relative degree, the interests of all. Already we see itintimated that a prolongation of hostilities will incite European nations to interfere for the kind would embarrass us in a great degree, although we have confidence enough in our country and countrymen to believe that we are capable of carrying on war successfully with the most powerful nation of the old world. But we,havée no desire to incur any such calamity, and itis our own interest, as well as that of every other country, to putan end to this war as speedily gs may be. Humanity and civilization, the boast of the nineteenth century, demand that it shall be soon’ended. We have seen that much stress is laid upon the supposition that ifGeneral Santa Anna were re- instated, he would willingly accede to terms—but this is fallacious. Recent events in Mexico show that the war is popular with the people, as it is with the government, and that it has been made so by the clergy. Whoever, therefore, may be as his resources will allow him, and nothing but a grand, decisive, and overwhelming blow, at the | most vulnerable points of that unfortunate coun- try, will bring its people and its government to their senses and toterms. In consequence of the im- becility of former. administrations in this coun- try, and the disinclination to molest or retard a sister republic, but lately emancipated from its fetters, and since then torn asunder by domestic | ! | | spoliation have been overlooked and passed over. Our charity and motives have been misconstrued, and our neglect to demand prompt satisfaction, has been attributed to our weakness, and not to our generosity. These impressions must be re- moved before anything can be effectually accom- plished, and when that is done, and the Mexican forts on the Pacific seized or blockaded, and the Mexicans in possession of or threatened by our army, then, and not till then, need we look for peace. There is now every appearance that our go- vernment will exhibit to the nation a spectacle such as they have never before seen. | | | j | City Intelligence.

Upon the officer ing for the ms, Mrs, Weber acknowledged that her husband ‘bought. the spoons, and refused to give them up. Upon this refusal, Mr. Vanderhoof procured a search warrant to search the premises ; when, upon their return to the store, Mrs. W. was observed to take @ bundle into the back yard. This created the suspicion of officer, who immediately searched the yard, and in the privy he found tied up in a cloth over se pounds of silver run into bar, eviden ly | the proceeds of silv and s other articles of silver, such baskets, showin where the names had been erased. ‘eber wil were both arrested on the charge of buying stolen pro aed and committed for examination by Justice ‘etcham. of the 8th ward, | Stealing a Watch—Officer Forsha: arrested two men called G.

Trouble between Court and Counsel—A young gentle. man of the legal profession, by the name of McAdam, who was yesterday prevented from conducting the case of his client, (Wm. Proctor, tried for bigamy,) on account of not having been formally admitted to practice in this court, this morning moved for his admission, presentin, the usual certificate, acknowledging him as a member of the bar in the Supreme Court of this State. In answer to this application, the Recorder took occa- | sion to allude to the conduct of Mr. McAdam towards his honor, which he considered disrespectful and uube- coming a ‘gentleman ; but, to show that he was not gov- | erned by any personal feeling in tho matter, he- should | overlook what had transpired, both in and out of court, and admit Mr. McAdam to practice, provided that gentle- man should make a suitable apology for his co nduct. Mr. McAvam, in reply to the remarks made by the Recorder, atrted that in the course of a recent trial, it became his duty to address the court on one or two occa- that on rising for that purpose, he had been rude- ordered to sit down; that, instead of having insulted e Recorder, he had himself been the party insulted, | t and that he followed the presiding magistrate out of court to request an apology; and that so far as making an apology himself, he should certainly decline doing so, whatever course the Court might pursue in the | matter. Under these circumstances, the Court decided against | the admission of Mr. McAdam ; and so that affair stands for the present. Triat of Dr. J. Heine and Abraham Lyons.—-The be- fore named persons were then called to trial, on a charge | | of grand larceny, in having been concerned with a young man named George Simmons, in forcing open a | drawer in the house of Mr. Cardoza, 13 Chatham street, | and stealing therefrom the sum of $2,(00 in gold and sil- ver coin and bank no’ on Friday morning the 19th of day last, while Mr. Cardoza and his wife were from ome. | | PD.
