NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Sunday, August 2, 1846, _ Foreign News, The news to be received by the Hibernia may be hourly expected to reach this city in flashes over the lightning line. Congressional Proceedings—Progress of Business, The independent treasury bill has passed the Senaie, with several t and valuat amendments. n the bill as it was ne House for co: currence, further alterations may be made before it becomes a law. impor We have not se amended; but as it has to go to We shall publish it entre when it comes to hand in an official shape.

The House was engaged in debating the ware- honsing bill, and it was ordered to be engrossed by a very large majority, and finally passed. Se- veral unimportant private bills then came up for consideration, and, after disposing of several, the House adjourned. We do not know when the warehousing bill will go into peration, but we suppose im- mediately, as it should anticipate the new tariff tor the purpose of letting into bond foreign manu- factures, ready to come into the market, at the earliest moment alter the Ist of December. The most important bills of the session are now nearly disposed of, but we have no doubt there | will be many bills of greater private than public importance, passed over altogether; while many others will be left until the last moment, and then hurried through with all their imperfections. | Our legislators generally are penny wise and | pound foolish, for the e army Our Sessions of Congress. It has always been characteristic of our Ame- rican Legislative bodies to fritter away, in useless declamation and debate, the greater portion of their session. It can truly be said, that no legis- | tation is ever done until a day for final adjourn- ment is appointed; and then the members ap- pear as if they had suddenly awoke from a long | slamber,’and were determined to make up for lost time, by pushing business with the greatest despatch. ‘The present session of Congress is no exception to the remark. This body had been in session some weeks, before any progress was made by | them in their duties. The tariff, the sub treasury | and the Oregon question, were the principal mat- ters requiring their attention; and until a day of adjournment was fixed by both houses, not one of them had been disgosed of. The period fixed | for the duration of the session was so limited thay | no time could be lost in talking to Buncombe or | expending gas, and the members commenced an onslaught on the business on hand, which showed their earnestness to accomplish all they could within the prescribed time. Afier a few | days debate in each house, the Tariif Bill was | passed, and ere this has probably received the | President’s signature. The Oregon question hav- } ing been disposed of by treaty, the only remain- | ing business of importance or general interest is | the sub treasury, the warehousing bill, and the | pilot law. | The first of these is at present under discussion in the Senate, and has passed the House of Re- presentatives. This is disposed of, and we now | hope that the pilot law will be taken up, and | the law of 1837 repealed. ‘Tus Magyetic Tetecrarn—Its [rivence | ON THE “ACTION or ConGress.—There is one fea- ; ture of the magnetic telegraph which, though of great importance, has never yet, we believe, been considered, and that is the influence which it is destined to exert upon the movements of our great national Congress. On account of the im- | mense distances that exist between Washington, | and many Congressional districts of our country, | the news ofan important bill having been brought before the national legislature, has scarcely reach- ed these remote points, before the bill itself has been acted upon and passed at Washington.— The great mass of the people are thus prevented | from expressing their opinion until too late. The bill has become a law, and there is no repeal; and though they may find fault with their repre- sentatives for not acting in the matter as they | themselves would have done, thatis neither a pre- | vention nora cure—it is only crying over spilt | milk. Now, by means of this great invention, the whole features of a legislative bill may be trans- mitted to the most remote corners of the land—its bearings canvassed—its passage approved or dis- approved by the people; and this approval or dis- approval expressed in Washingten city—all in the space of a few hours. The feelings of the citi- zens of Oregon and California—of Maine and | Mexico upon any Congressional measure, will be | known as speedily as those of Baltimore or New | York. | Nothing can be more favorable than this to strengthen the free government of the people; and | what an influence it must have in age are } many unpopular movements on the part of the | national government. There will be no plea for | a venal legislator—no excuse that he was unac- | quainted with the true sentiments of his constitu- ents—for they will be, as it were, by his side, to | advise and instruct him. It will act, moreover, asa great barrier to a spe- | cies of legislation which has been much employed | of late—a species of legislation by which unjust | and partizan measures are brought before Con- gress by a conventional executive; and before the | country is half aroused to their dangerous tenden- cies through the influence of a usurped and whip- ping-in policy, they have become the law of the land. ‘The magnetic telegraph will thus be a mighty engine of government—cementing the vast area of republican freedom, and binding together our far extended nation with a band of intellectual light. | | | | Americans tx Evrors.—There are more Ame- ricans in Europe this year than ever before. We are glad that this is so,because living for a time un- der the monarchies of the old world tends to make them better Americans than they ever were, and more anxious to do all in their power to perpetu- ate our institutions. The man of intelligence who patiently, calmly and impartially examines | the social condition of the people of Europe, and particularly of England, must acknewledge that in all that pertains to human happiness, the situ- | ation of his own countrymen is infinitely better.— | Europe, at the present time, offers a wide field for , the investigations of the philosopher. Emerging | from the servitude of antiquated notions, she is breaking the bonds that have so long bound her, | and the waves of a mighty revolution are daily | making rapid advances. Her history for the next | ten years will be more interesting than it has been | for the last ten, and more changes will be made in her policy and laws. The severance of church and state, the total abolition of tythes, and proba- bly the repeal of the union between her and Ire- land will be among them. American tourists in Europe have hitherte conferred no benefit on their country by the result of their observetions, In the hands of a competent man, it would be an eusy task to give us a daguerreotype picture of | who to no purpose attempt to control us.” | merehant | an | at this port yesterday.

The following we translate from the last num- ber :— [From the Miguelete of 4th May } “To-day is the 275th since the naval forces of England and France, stationed in the Rio de la Plata, commanded by Admirals Inglesfield and Laine, have blockaded, in union with the Italian pirate Garibaldi, the ports of the oriental republic of Uraguay, and acting in this manner, although we have given them no cause nor pretext for theirinfamous conduct. And they still follow up, under their ironically styled message of peace. their blockade and piratical attacks upon our coasts. They have inj ired oar valuable commerce with the United States, with the Brazils, Spain, Portugal and Sardinia. and destroyed their own. We have shown them the foolishne: their at- tempts to subdue us, and have proved our capability to resist them ; in return for their murderous cruelty we have protected those French and English inhabitants who, abandoned by their consuls, were at our mercy.— Furopean intervention alone is aggravation enough to an American republic: but when under the pretence of pro- curing peace, they have lengthend old wars and created new ones, they will need more than one inter What passes in the Rio de la Plata. Americal of blockade are past; we can endure that months—as many years if necessary as mapy but what are the | consquences? A destroyeJ commerce with an eternal enmity and hatred in the South American repub- lics, against the English and French, which too late will Dring their repentance.” Since writing the above we have received files of the Buenos Ayres Packet to the 23d May, inclu- sive. We find the following items :— Such language shows but litle fear, and the existence ofa spirit which will cause the Euro- pean powers to rue their attacks. The strongest | feeling of hatred seems to exist against the self styled ‘Oriental Government” at Montevideo, ind the trea y there entered into between Spain and the republic, is denounced as illegal and of no effect. Tke Oribist party is evidently very powerful throughout Uruguay. In the same pa- per we find an address to President Oribe, signed by over two thousaad of the inhabitants of the department of Soriano, congratulating him on his course, and closing as follows:—* We offer to your service our lives and our wealth, and | we make all sacrifices cheerfully rather than submit to the profanation’ of our soil by despica- ble strangers, or the low bred united savages, | A large portion of the forces of Gen.

On the 4th instant, at 9 o’clock in the morning, the fleet weighed anchor about three miles above the Baran- cas of St. Lorenzo, in the river Parana, where were 26 pieces of cannon, belonging to Buenos ‘Ayres, to stop the expedition from passing. At balf past ning o’clock the fort opened a fire on the five steamers, the English steamers Gorgon, Firebrand and Elector, the French steamers Gacende and which took their position abreast of the batteries, while the Engiish brig of war Dolphin led the van of the , amounting to one hundred sail.— From the time the Dolphin 1d, being the first vessel, at half past ten, tothe time the last vessel: of the convoy passed, after sundown, made seven hours and a half firing.

Tarr Humsuc.—WIL.L THERE BE A Panic 1— We find the following paragraphs in our exchange papers of yesterday :— Finer Errects.—We ben gi dy Baad hace pa bn a psonville, Conn, yesterday, reduced the Waget of their workmen twenty-five per cent, in view of effect which the new tariff will immediately have upon their b ‘Weavers who have received 24 and 2434 cents gs will now get but 18 cents for the same ‘kK. This is but the verification of the*prediction nds of the whig tariff.—Springyield Republican. Tur Fruits —We regret to learn that an oxtensive manufacturer was yester: compelled by the withering influence of a free trade policy upon contidence and cre- dit, to suspend. We fear that it is but the beginning of the end.—Phil. N. dm, Aug. 1. These are called the “fruits” and “‘first effects” and is certainly the veriest humbug we ever re- member to have seen. We here find that one manufacturer has failed outright, and another has reduced the wages of operatives, even before it is | known that the tariff bill has received the signa- ture of the President, and four months before the bill goes into operation! It will be pretty difficult to raise a panic by such means. Camp Meetines.—We understand that arrange- ments have been made by the religious world for holding camp meetings in different parts of the country, and that a great harvest of sinners is ex- pected.

Atwany, (Geo) July 25—The appearance of the cate piller among the cotton plants is fully confirmed. The coldness of the weather, and incessant rains. are assign- ed as the cause of this early appearance of the worm. A plenty of sun and heat, however,may abate the nuisance before it has time to produce irreti ‘able injury.

A gentleman who manages some plantations on that island sent a cotton plant, with the worm on it, to the Postmas- ter; so there is no mistake. Epinpasvitee, July 24—I write merely to ask.that advise the holders of Planters’ Cotton in En, cu and France, as early as possible, of ths of the catterpillar in our fie! own themselves on nearly ull the islan coast. Coming so early in the soas ond when the crop is unusually back- e is no room for doubt (unless Au- gust be a very dry and hot month,) that their ravages wi'l be as extensive and ruinous to the grower, if not more so, than in 1825. In that yearthe crop was more forward an! the worm later. We learn from the Mississippi Creole, than the grain crops in Madison county may turn out well—but it speaks unfavorably of the Cotton crop in that State and some of the adjoining counties, ‘The Rrazoria (Texas) Planter, July 10, says the cat- terpillar has made its Seeaaren in part of that oountry, and it is Sppeghenged will in @ measure destroy the cot- ton crop. The present appearance of the cotton, though very backward, is promising, and with the usual late fall igang average crops might be expected ; but the picking will not commence or be general, in than thirty days, the season being about that much later than usual, Should the caterpillar destroy the present crop of cotton, the desire to go into the culture of sugar cane will be greatly increased. Mosier, July 24.—We r of nothing from the inte- rior that can be construed as at all favorable tothe grow- ing cotton. If the season from this time forward, is moze than favorable, we may receive as much cotton at this port next year as we have this—say 420,000—but not other wise ; so say the factors, who are now paying their annual visit to the planters.

Shall 1 attempt to deseribe a Sunday in Mata- moras? In a town occupied by a foreign army, ¢ taining members of every religious belief, and numbering too among its followers, sinners of every shade of depravity, we could hardly ex- pect great uniformity in the observance of this holy day. Inthe morning religious -ceremonies receive from the Catholics a degree’ of attention— mass is celebrated in the great church. Yester- day that ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr. McElroy, one of the chaplains recently sent out tothearmy, Itwas attended by many cificers and soldiers, aud a large number of the Mexicans ot every class and condition, to whom, though the language was strange, the forms were familiar to the sight; and the sume prayers uttered in the same venerable classic they had heard trom the lips of their own priests, were here offered up to the common Father by one of a foreign race! The ceremonies were imposing—the discourse that followed, soleinn and impressive. Astonishment was visible upon the countenance of these people, who had been, taught to believe us worshippers of fi gods, and subverters of the true temples. Here they beheld the barbarian observing the same forms and bowing, at the same shrine with them- selves. One of the great objects of the govern- ment has been to avoid all interference with the religion of the Mexicans, and this has beet. pro- minent in all the instructions to General Taylor. These have been so well obeyed, that notwith- standing the etforts of their priests and military leaders, to arouse a religious zeal against us, HO serions alarm has been felt on this account. ‘The proseang of our chaplains, one of whom, Mr. ay, is making rapid progress in the Spanish language, wil go far to Confirm the feeling of se- curity among the conquered, which the judicious conduct of our General has happily inspired. | But if such evidences of devotion are given in the morning, a walk in the @ily at a later our discloses scenes and practices quite novel and re- volting to a youth raised among the ‘ most straitest sect” at the North, and taught a rigid observance of the fourth commandment. After tne service at the church, I was riding towards same. whea the sound oi drums and ** sonorous metal” | attracted my attention towards such a rabble as was never seen by oy one who has not been in the Mexican town oi Matamoras on Sunday. The Procession was headed by a clown, painted and dressed in a fantastical manner, and moving from side to side, and exhibiting the most ludicrous contortions of face and body. This apr ae was mounted on stilts about 12 feet in height, and cevered with nether garments of the most approv- ed mode. Immediately following this animate pair ef tongs, was a young Mexican woman, not ver; white or very pretty, standing upon a mule,whic! was moving with solemn mar under its lovely burden. Flanking these were horsemen, vieing with each other in ridiculous masks and trap- pings, and they were followed by a band of—by courtesy—musicians. ‘The ‘procession was closed by legions of natives, young and old, apparelled in every fashion, from the closely fittmg garb common to the juveniles, with which nature adorned all her children, to the filthy tatters of the beggar, and up to the gare meuts loaded with silver bells and buttons, which distinguish the Mexican beau. After this adver- tisement marches through a sufficient number of streets, it returns with the patrons of the tight rope to the place prepared, where the Mexican Herr Chines begin their agile feats. Here, for hours, the lower c!ass of both sexes are amused, insistng to secure the money’s worth, upon the longest duration of the sport, and the greatest amount of noise on the instruments aforesaid.— Let us leave for a while these happy beings and proceed to the place of another favorite Sunday amusement. Atnearly every house our ears are saiuted with the souad of spoon and glass, as if the process of some chemical mixture was con- stantly going on. Other strange noises are heard. Heavy bails are roiling across along floor, and appear to sirikesome objects at the turther extre- mity; in many rooms we see large tables, govered with green cloth, raised at the sides ; on these are four ivory spheres of about two iuches in diame- ter, which persons around the table, with sl ght sucks in their hands, are endeavoring to push into the pockets or make impinge against each other. Again we see a wheel, beauttully colored and ornamented, revolving horizontally, and a smalt ball of ivory propelled in an upposite direction on the periphery, which finally settles upon some magic figure or coior. Now if I ascertain the names and objects of these apparently unmeaning Operauons, the readers of the He: shall be ine formed. Supposing them not exactly proper,ac- cording to our ideas of Sunda/, | mention thea to stow into what a wicked city we have entered. But here a red flag announces Casa de Gallo — | We enter and behold the cock-pit, with all tue | preparauous for this cruel national sport. The ' bettors are active in settling their wagers; and the champions impatient for the encounter. Alter preliminaries are arranged, small steel weapons culled slashers, sharp 4s a needle and slightly curve ed we bound firmly to the lefi leg of the bird, the * natural spur having been removed. A iew passes soon decide the contest. One of the parues receives the fatal thrust, and dies. The cages tinmg the enclosure continue to furnish other victuns to tue excitement uatil it is satiated for another week.— The passion is perfectly absorbing ; aud to see the eagerness with which the poorestMexican watches the fight, and the avidity with which he pledges his reaf upon the result, one cannot be surprised that their Ex- President beguiles ms exile in saking his bundreds of doubloons per day in the a arena of Havana. _ X.Y. Z. No. VIII. Movtu or tHe Rio GRANDE, Suly 14, 1346 This is now one of the nutnerous inilitary sta: tions on the tune of this river. Iu fact, it a8 bor- | dered with troops as high as Camargo. A regi- | ment or twoot volunteers are encamped at the Brazos; one at this point; Bareta, a few miles bove, is the encampment of several regiments; nd at Lameto, the ant Colonel we Pey- ton isto be found with his command. A more crooked river than tne Kio Grande, from Ma- tamoras to the mouth, could not be conceived. It is more tortucus taan even ican diplo- macy. Its course, afier curving for several miles, frequently returns to within a few rods of the same point; and the distance by the river between two places on its course, aver- ages three times that by land. Even with ihe present height of water, 0 much caution is re- quisite, particularly in descending, that the boats lie by atnight. Aiready the Mexicans have dis- covered that wooa is necessary to propel the strange machine called a steamboat, and wood age in abundance have been established. heir patriotism is not too strong to resist the temptation of two or three dollars a cord, scores of their rude vehicles are busied in hauling the pany musquit from a considerable distance to every landing. The difficulty of obtaining fuel must be seriously felt here in time, as the little to be procured wiil be well nigh exhausted by the | extraordinary demands ef the war. The ditlicul- ty may be partully overcome by establishing a ~~ coul depot in the vicinity of this place, ost of the country aloug the river is now over- flown. However, there are fine farms on both sides, which are elevated, and afford favorable situations for Yankee towns. Our boat hauled up night near a Mexican rancho or village.— The men came down ready to carry the wood aboard, and the women to stare and jake them- selves generally useful. A fandango on the green grass Was in cunt mplatiou, in which the mothers, daughters and graddaugh ers agreed to participate but we found that our fiddler, from an injury m the arm, was unabie to wield the bow. The senoritas were broken-hearted. , a 1 am disappointed in finding so many inhabi- tants along the river below Matamoras. The dwellings on our side are, I think, rather more nu- merous than on the Mexi it is eve.y where observable that the peopie are greatly dispropor- tionate in number to the habtanons. In taking the census in Mexico, it would be to estimate twenty persons in a tamily, instead o1 five, which, I believe, is the ratio in ordinarily protitic coun- tries. The life th y lead is the very definition of indolence. Their wants are easily supplied by th: bounty of nature, and I very mucu doubt whether such a people can ever be made to know or care any thing about their political eondition, provided their sensual wants are even partially suppled. They scem ‘o te happy; bat if they re 80, one cannot help thinking tuat the “ bliss”? is due to their “ ignorance.” _ Opposite this—I write on our side—is a collec~ tion uf thatched huts, bearing the appellation of Bagdad. Generaily in September its site 1s sub- merged, so that it wall probably never rival its veverthle namesake. The distance hence to the Brazos ix nbout seven wiles—there is a wa- gon roud—our train is constanily employed in transporting stores to such of the steamers as do not venture out.
