NEW YORK HERALD. | ew York, Tue: July 28, 1Nae, THE HERALD FOR EUROPE WITH TWO SPLENDID EMBELLISHMEMTS We are now engaged in preparing an edition of this valuable publication for-our subscribers, to send to Eu- rope by the steam ships Cambria, which will leave Boston, and the Great Britain, which will leave this port, next Saturday. This sheet will contain the latest intelligence from the Army, from Mexico generally, and from our Gulf Squad- ron, together with the proceedings in Congress, the de Date om the tariff, and the fate of this great measure, which occupies at present so much attention in the Old ‘World as well as the New. Also the latest intelligence | from Canada, &e. The illustrations will be of a superior order, and will consist of a view of the. city of Matamoras, and another aplendid engraving. ‘The edition for the Cambria will be ready at oneo” | clock on Friday afternoon ; the edition tor the Great Bri- tain will be ready on Saturday,at twelve o’clock.and will contain one day later intelligence, from all parts of the South. We would remind the advertising public, of the advan- tages the Herald for Europe offers them, for making their Dusiness known in Europe. Advertising, now that the connection with the Old World is so easy and rapid, ig almost as necessary for the other side of the Atlantic as for this. We receive subscriptions for the Herald for Europe seperately, from our regular daily and weekly issues. = The City of Matamoras. The beautiful engraving of Matamoras, which we have had prepared at considerable expense, will be given in to-morrow’s Herald. The Tarif.—The Fate of the New Bill—Its Defeat. All eyes are turned to the seat of Government. The result of the vote on this question is looked for every moment, and every moment it is delay. ed adds to the excitement. We have been in sus- pense long enough, and shall feel greaily relieved when the long agony is over. The present tariff act passed the Senate by one vote, and the bill now under consideration wil} be disposed of by about the same vote. The | question now hangs upon the vote of Mr. Jarna- gin, of Tennessee, and every one asks what course he will pursue. either resign or vote against the new bill; but the probability is that an attempt will be made to postpone the question until the next term, and that he will vote for the postponement. Should he not resign, and a vote upon the direct question be taken, the chances would be against the new bill, as he is opposed to it in its present shape. The idea of a compromise has been abandon- ed. The vote will be upon the whole or none. The democratic party have determined to sink or | swim with this question; and if they carry the bill, | it will bea mill-stone about their neck. It is the pet bill of the session; and the business affairs of the country will be more affected, for good or for evil, by it than any other before either House. The changes the new bill will produce in our | commercial affairs are to be feared more than any thing else; if it was not for that, very few would take any interest in the movement. By | preserving the present bill, all things will go on | smoothly in the chanavls they now are; while a | repeal of that act, and the adoption of another so much different, will require a revolution in all the old land-marks, and bring into operation a new state of things. We are opposed to these changes. | They invariably produce embarrassments and | difficulties; and it is better policy to suffer even a defective law to remain, than to create a revul sion in mercantile matters, by establishing, what may be considered by many, although not in fact, a better. Infallible remedies as frequently kill the patient as the disease. So far as we are able to judge, by the proceed. ings in the Senate, yesterday, there is very litte doubt but that the tariff bill, as iteame from the lower House, will be defeated. The votes upon the several amendments proposed, indicate pretty clearly that result. The democrats appear to be afraid to come toa vote upon the direct question. Everything, however, is yet in doubt. It is possi- ble the whole thing will be settled to-day,one way or the other. The proceedings in the House yesterday were not very interesting or important. The bill of ap- Propriations was under discussion, and an ad- journment took place without coming to the question. Leotstarion or Crarms.—Tuere is not a session Passes over in Congress without days and weeks | being occupied in the legislation of claims. Now | we know of nothing more vexatious, not only to the holders of these claims, but to the public in | general, ‘than the protracted and frequently un- justlegislation upon them. If a claim be prefer- red by a citizen, or by a body of citizens, for ser- vices done the government, nine times out of ten t there is no difficulty in determining whether said | claim be just or not. If the claim be an unfair one, it should be promptly set aside ; if, on the other hand, it is proved a just demand upon the government, it should be as promptly discharged. It is as much the duty of a government to reward the meritorious as to punish the guilty; else what | | incentive is there to meritorious conduct. There has been heretofore, on the part of our government, a degree of dishonorable stinginess— in fact, a want of honesty toward claimants—not beggars for favors, but creditors who have de- manded their just dues, It has been a source of shame to our citizens in the face of the world. If a government set examples of dishonesty and want of fairness in its dealings with its own sub- Sects, what can be expected from its citizens in their dealings with one another? We know of one man who has been prosecuting a claim with Congress for a period of thirty years! Now how ean such monstrous imbecility exist? ither his claim is just, or itis not. If the former, let him be paid the sum of sixty thousand dollars, he claims; if the latter, let him arfd his claim be promptly discharged. | What is the truth in respect to legislation on | claims. Are the protracted discussions which they frequently give rise to, caused by a want of liberality on the part of the government—a de. | sire to economise, at the expense of honesty and | justice? It has been so considered ; now what is | the real state of the case? Why, the expenses of legislatien upon an individual claim have often exceeded the amount of the claim! Nay, more. ‘The legislation upon an individual claim for the price of a single horse, cost the government more money than would have purchased all the horses required during the revolutionary war. This is a fact, and not by any means an isolated one, as hundreds of other claims, daily brought before our Congress, far exceed their own amount in le- gislative expenses. Will not something be done in this matter?— Why ean we not have a regular court of claims? A judiciary consistiag of three members, or more, ‘who could of themselves atténd to this expensive Dusiness, which, after all, can hardly be consid- ered a subject of representative legislation. The salaries of three judg.s, appointed for this pur« pose, would not be an item, when compared with the amount which our Congress annually spends in “claim legislation.” —_—_——— INTELLIGENCE FROM Mexico.—We give, on the outside of this day’s paper, full particulars of the intelligence received yesterday from Mexico via New Orleans. It will be seen that itis no later than that brought by the Harmonious Waiker, which arrived here last week from Havana, but 9 move la det) It is the impression that he will | Highly Interesting from the Oregon Terii- tery. | We have, through various channels within the | last few days, received news from the far west, which gives us a better insight inte the. situation | of its iababitants than we have before been pos- | sessed of, and we must acknowledge we area little surprised at the rapid strides being made by | them to commercial and politieal importance. | From our natural ideas of a new country, and | the various discussions arising from this one par- ticularly, we should almost have imagined that few settlers there might be, were a sort of | a demi-savage race, living on game, fighting with | Indians, and scattered about, withoutany more law or clothing than nature liad originally given them; but in truth, to judge from our late ac- counts, we find that the inhabitants are a very quiet, intelligent, public spirited set of beings, working industriously through the day, atteading | balls or a theatre in the evening, and sleeping soundly and undisturbedly at night. | | There are now in the Oregon Territory over 6000 Americans; 6 grist and 8 saw mills, and a large surplus of agricultural products, A brisk commerce is carried on with the Sandwich Islands. At Paget’s Sound, a party of emigrants had settled on a tract of land,which is represented as exceedingly productive for the distance of sixty miles ; but the best specimen of the state of the country we find in the growing importance of Oregon City. This city now possesses souls, about 80 houses, two churches, two blacksinith | shops, four tailor shops, a hatter, a tannery, three | hoe shops, two silversmiths, four stores, two flour- | ing and two saw mills, anda lath machine. A post office has beenestablished, which conveys letters 30 | miles for 15 cents; and the City of Oregon itself has obtained an act of incorporation ; upon which the editor of the semi-monthly (for there will always ‘ be an editor and a newspaper where there is one | Yankee to write and another to read) admonishes the corporators as follows: “ Gentlemen, dig up the stumps, grade the streets, tax dogs, pronibit hogs, and _advertize in the paper.” New York might avail herself of the same advice. The taxes | are allowed to be paid in wheat, deliverable at certain depots, among which the warehouses of the Hudson’s Bay Company are mentioned along with tnose of the American traders. . Another very agreeable feature connected with their growing prosperity, is the good feeling exi ing between our own countrymen and the Eng- | lish. The Americans during their national fest. | vals, invite the British officers to their parties and their balls ; in return, the English geitlemen from | Fort Vancouver take turn with the naval officers | in dancing with the pretty Amerivan girls on board | Her Majesty’s shi Medeste. The utmost extent | of coneord prevails, and very seldom even an al- lusion to any probability of hostile feeling or hos< | | tile collision. The most exciting topic seems to | there, as with us, whether the State should or | shoud not prohibit the use and manufacture of ardent spirits. Meetings were held by both par- | ties, one demanding that the will of the majority should govern the appetites of the few, and the minority proclaiming any prohibition unconstutu- tional. | Personal controversy for pltce is not pases unknown, nor does the difference of longitude appear to make any great change in the character | ofthe arguments used by the parties to the dis- | pute. Thus we find that J. L. Meek, ex-Sheriff of Oregon, like all other Ex’s, demands nothing | but justice. | The Provisional Government has been orga- | nized by cheosing George Abernethy, formerly of | New York, Governor; John E. Long, from Ken- | tucky, Secretary; Peter H. Burnett, from Mis- souvi, Circuit Judge. | The first message of the first governor of Ore- | gon we give at length, as it will show the position, | resources, and expectations of the territory :— GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. To the Honorable the Legislative Assembly of Oregon. | Frtiow Citizens .—Allo to congratulate you on | your return to this place, again to enter on the important | duties assigned to you by your constituents. By the latest dates we have from the United States, we are informed tl the affairs of Oregon still remain yn. settled, no arrangement having, as yet, been entered into between the United States and’ Great Britain, fixing the boundary lines between the two Governments. In my last message, I suggested several alterstions in the militia law, would again call your &ttntion to ji At present, all is peace and quietne, but, | ything occur requiring the aid of the military, | everything should be ready for immediate a®4 prompt action.

It is, 6 article of our country—can be pro- | cured by all the settlers in abundance, can be readily | disposed of by the merchants and others, and is nota perishable article. | | The next question is, where shall the article or arti- | cles made a legal tender, be delivered? If the devtor is allowed the privilege of delivering wheat at any point | on the navigable rivers, and thereby discharging his | | deht, it will throw all the trouble of getting it to market | | on the receiver: this should not be ; the trouble should | dovolve on the one who, by delivering his produce, is | relieved from his lial Oregon City is at present the business place, and for the convenience of all par- | ties, would, in my opinion, be the best depot for the country. Other articles and other places of deposit can be agretd upon between parties who are transacting business together. Our business is to provide for a man, who, being in debt to another, is pressed for silver, and informed that nothing else will answer in payment—we must in some way provide to relieve him irom this difli- culty; but, in doing this, we should be cautious not to.| throw’ the door too ‘open, for, in doing so, we may break down all confidence, and ‘do more injury than | good.

We thus perceive the government is actually | and effectually formed; a nuelcus is placed around which thousands will soon gather,and from which will be diffused more rapidly, day by day, the blessings of improvement. In addition to the | Geo.

Ocean Sream Navication.—On Saturday next | two of the fastest steam ships that ever crossed the Atlantic, leave our shores for Europe. These are the Cambria from Boston, and the Great Bri- | tain from New York. The Cambria is the fastest vessel of the Cunard line, and with the exception | ofthe last trip of the Great Britain, has perform- ed the distance from Europe and America, in the shortest time on record. The Great Britain, as our readers already know, has taken the wind out of the sails of all the other stenm ships, and with her submerged propellor has managed to outstrip all competi- tion, every thing considered. Many persons are osed to believe that the recent quick trip of this vessel is owing more to favorable circumstances than the good working of her submerged propellor, and are inclined te | doubt whether she will be as successful on her homeward as she has been on her outward trip. The doubts on this subject will be solved by the | result of her next trip to England, and we under- stand that bets to a large aniount are pending on the time she will make. Some have wagered that she will beat the Cambria, and vice versa. For our own part we do not approve of racing, but we certainly look forward with much interes | tothe result, inasmuch as it will establish the | practical advantage of the two modes of propul- | sion—the side wheels and the screw. | Wuar 1s swe HERE For 1There appears to be | no little curiosity to learn the character and con- | tents of the despatches brougat to this portby the | Spanish armed schoonerHabanera,and forwarded | to Washington last Sunday.

We commend (or- byn and his American band to every lover of music in the East, and promise those who hear them a rich treat.

Mr. Burkoxen, alter some remarks, moved to amend the resolution by making $10,000, instead of $14,500 Mr Wer objected to the amendment. He said he had been a school trustee ; houses were put up under his direction, and he knew that a school-house. with all the new improvements, could not be put up for $10,000; he, therefore, hoped that the trustees of the 13th ward would be allowed to build the school according to their own plans and estimates. | |) Mr. Burecai in rose, end asked the gentlomsn fad they ‘procured ates?’ He was replied te in the negutive. He then contended th they ought to have advertised, and procured estimates, betore any appropriation was asked for. He went on to contend, that Cape hee of $14500 was now made, it would advertise ali the contractors in the city, they would necessarilf take advantage of it, and send in their | proposals accordingly. He wished that $10,000 might | now be granted. and if it should turn out that there w: application could be made to the propriation made. ‘The question on the amendment was then put, and 8 jets in the affirmative, and 14 ia the negative, it was lost. Mr. Desxy moved an amendm effect, to wit :—That the school offi should, before any appropriation be made, procure pians and specifications of the ‘building, The question ou the last ameaodment was then put, and lost. er some other am ndments, which were put and lost, the question dn the report and resolution was taken by a: nays— and 11 having voted in the affirmative, and 11 in the negative, the resolution was lust, and the report not accepted.

He continued to say that it was singular that a school claiming the character of a grammar school, did not teach any of the branches of learning he had mentioned; and it was also an astounding fact, that in such a city as this, containiny a haifa williwn of mhabitants, there were but two cul- leges, and that in those two colleges there were bat 247 pupils, and that the greater portion of them did not be- Tong tothis city.

She was now on the tiptoe to visit the various places of amusement, around town, frequented by the “ Bloods,” auch as the Cafe Francaise, Tapis Blanc, Pinteanx, kc. The first place visited was Niblo’s, escerted by a relation—although rather a distant one— whom we are told is a Mr. H——, a gentleman of high standing in this community, whose morals have never been brought into question heretofore.
