EW YORK HERALD. THE EVENING EDITION OF THE NEW YORE HERALD. Our subscribers in the country to whom we have been in the habit of mailing the Evening Edition of the Herald, are requested to take notice that we are about to make such alterations and additions to this edition of our journal, as will make it more interesting and valuable than it has ever been We have, on all occasions previous to this time, endeavored to make the Hera/d as interesting as possible for our country readers, by publishing in addition to the news in the morning edition, all the latest intelligence by the morning’s mail~but we shall henceforth make it emphatically an evening and .norning paper combined, by insert- ing, not only the news contained in the Morning Herald, and the news heretofore contained in the Evening Edition, but also full accounts of any in- teresting and important incident that may hap- pen im this city upto the hour of publication, and afull accoant of Ship News, Corton, Flour and Grain Markets, and such other intelligence | as may be of interest in places distant from the | metropolis This edition of the Hera? will be exclusively | for our subscribers in other cities and towns; it will not be cireu'sited in this city The Weekly Herald. ‘Our weekly Herald will, as usual, be ready to- morrow morning at 8 o’clock. It will contain the news by the steamship Cale, donia, and ail other news that may be rece.ved up to the hour of publication, besides a copy of the warehouse instructions—a copy of the treaty be- tween the United States and the King of Bavaria; Sena‘or Haywood’s address to the people of North Carolina; a review of the markets, commercial and monetary artieles, &e. &c. It will be illustrated by three engravings, two of them representing the return of Indians from bat- te, and a panic among them produced by light- ning; and the third representing one of our revo- lutonary heroes, who was found in our streets in a destitute condition. Price, six cents, in wrappers. State Klections—Proposed Modification of the New Tartff. Political matters in this part of the world are at present rather quiet. Several State elections have recen ly taken place, the res.:it of which, in every instance, has been a whig gain. They are, how- ever, upon local questions, and are no criterion of the opinion of the people upon the most import- | ant matters of the day. Congress having ad- | journed, and the members having separated and spread over the country, we shall have no more agitation until December next, when, for the want of something better to do, we have no doubt both houses will go to work and alter, and if possible, improve, some of the bills passed the late session. It is generally understood that the new tariff will, | Soon after the next Congress convenes, undergo some modifications. There will be some import- ant alterations made in the duty upon coal and iron, and those alterations will be in favor of an additional duty upon these articles. It is not al- together improbable but thata duty will also be put upon tea and coffee, for the purposs of in- creasing the revenue of the government. In relation to an addi:ional duty upon coal and iron, the Secretary of the Treasury will recommend it to Congress; and there is very little doubt but that such alterations as he may propose upon this point will meet the views of both Houses, as it is generally admitted that these articles require protection more than any other two in the whole catalogue, and that the new tariff will operate more injuriously upon those interests than upon any others. There will be, without doubt, desperate efforts made by the iron manufacturers of Europe to get as large supplies in our markets as Possible, so as to enter them as soon as the new tariff ‘goes into opera- tion, and before any alterations can be made, as Congress does not convene until after the new bill goes into effect. Tue Catirornia Exrepttion.—We received, a day or two since, a printed slip, addressed espe- cially to us, and signed by Thomas J Sutherland, referring to an article published“in the Herald a day or two previous, in relation to the California expedition, under Col. Jonathan D. Stevenson. The communication also contained a number of charges against Col Stevenson, which we could not believe fora moment. We read the commu- nication carefully, and could not see anything in it of sufficient interest to the public to warrant its insertion, and we therefore declined to publish it. It has since appeared, in part, in some of the papers. The public may not be aware of the causes of the opposition which has attended the formation of the seventh regiment of United States volunteers, under Col. Stevenson’s command. It lies in the fact that a number of persons, instigated, some by jealousy, and some by disappointment in not obtaining appointments in Col. Stevenson’s re gi- ment, have usedtheir utmost endeavors to destroy the prospects of the expedition. Every thing, | however, has gone on prosperously. The three ships, intended as transports to the expedition, have been chartered, at what even the opponents ofthe movement acknowledge to be reasonable prices. They are now loading, and by the first | Besides the intelligence published yesterday, dates n th of June, state that the fortifications of that place progress rapidly ; that | martial law prevailed, as weil as great enthusiasm of September, in all probability, will have sailed for their place of destination, with a body of as fine and capable men and officers on board, as were ever raised in our government service. Tn this state of affairs, we consider it rather small business for jealous or disappointed men to make attempts, in which there is no possibility of their succeeding, to destroy the Prospects of an expedition, which, if it prospers as its command- ant desires it should, will be of more importance to our coun.ty than any similar one which ever «temanded the sympathies and co-operation of our enterprising people. In fact, we consider that this expedition is of the utmost censequence, as California will undoubtedly form a part ofa basis of a treaty with Mexico. Sream Sup Gaest Westerx.—This popular ocean steamer left her pier at three o’clock yesterday afternoon, on her eighty-sixth pas- sage across the Atlantic. According to her list she has about seventy passengers, among whom we, see the names of George A. Porter, Esq., our Consul to Constantinople; Dr J.B. Davis, who goes to Turkey on the cotton mission ; and Mr. Demp: the popular vocalist.

R.—Capt Hatch, of the brig Cordelia, at this port, states that three large ships were loading for Europe, at Ponce, on the 9th inst., but there would be scarcely a sufficient quantity of sugars of the present crop to fill them. ‘The Jast prices paid for Europe were 4 cts., while planters wore holding out for 44 for the balance oft crop.

The English Mail steamer had arrived at Ha- | vana from Vera Cruz, She brought intelligence of a revolution in Mex- ico in favor of Santa Anna. Soon after the arrival of the steamer Gene- rals Santa Anna, Almonte and Rejon left Ha= | vane in the British steamer Arab, chartered for | that purpose, to take them to Vera Cruz, and they | are now probably at the latter place. | {t appears that the city of Mexico and the city of Vera Cruz had both declared for Santa Anna. | The Indicator of Vera Cruz, of 81st July, states : that that city had pronounced in favor of the plan ; of Guadalajara, with some additions; that Gen- ; erals Landero and Pere# led the movement ; the | troops of the fortress of San Juan d’Ulloa, also | adhered to the plan. The likeness of General Santa Anna was carried through the streets, caus- ing great enthusiasm and rejoicing. The El Republicano has several columns of indi vidual voluntary subs¢riptions, to aid in carrying onthe war with the United States. General Paredes was to leave the city of Mexi- co on the 29th July, to take command of the troops on the frontier. It is rumered in the city of Mexico, that the dif- | ferent heads of the departments, especially that | of the Minister of War, are changing the clerks or secretaries of their respective departments eve- ry two or three days. | The renunciation of the present secretaries ‘of the different departments are now admitted, and | they will leave their posts as soon as President Paredes delivers the views of Government to Ge- neral Bravo. i Despatch to General Tornsl, Minister of War, from Paredes.

The government throws itself in the arms of the peopie te save the republic, and to preserve the independence of the nation and republican prin- ciples from being sacrificed by their Northern in- | vaders. The government firmly believes the ef- fort will be successful. The troubles of the citizens of Mexico on the Rio Grande, are alluded to in the presses of the country, and with much apparent bitterness against the United States. The citizens of Mexico are called on, in gene- ral terms, to rise en masse, and repel their inva ders. The government are sending,with all despatch, extensive war-supplies of all descriptions to Mon- | terey, to be at the disposal of the Commander-in- | Chief. | Juan Nepomuceno dela Garza, to all the inhabitants of the department Nuevo Leon :— ires all those capable of bearing arms, from 18 years of to unite in the defe of that depart- ment, and of the ional territory, invaded by the ene- ay forces; for this purpose a report of the inhabitants of each town will be immediately ma This force is to be called the local militia force of vo Leon. It is not only to defend the towns when invaded, but to march wherever required against the enemy. Its object being to defend, at any and every cost, the siegrity of the na- tional territory, invaded and occupied in part by the troops of the United States. So far as we are able to discover, there appears to be a general relief from all internal commo- tion or expected revolution. Unanimity prevails among the citizens, in consequence of a general | desire to repel the forces of the United States. | A letter was received from the Governor of Nuevo Leon, that 6000 Americans had appeared in | that department, under their second in command. ad that he had informed the government he had ordered all the forces of that department to be sent against them.

The United States ship Potomac, Commodore Connor, had been ashore on Green Island, near Vera Cruz, and all her guns had to be thrown overboard before she could be got off. It was thought that she had gone to Pensacola for re- pairs. The United States brigs Truxton and Perry were off the Moro at Havana some three or four days, but were afraid to go in on account of the sickness at Havana, and sailed about the Sth in- stant for Vera Cruz, all well.

Upon | this Captain Woodhouse remonstrated with him, and told him that he should be cautious, that there was a way of doing his duty without giving’ offence. Kenny denied that any offence was given, either by himself or any of the sailors with his orders; and then struck off work, and went below. The captain called upon him twice to return to his duty, but he declined. The first mat fire similar testimony. The defence was, that Mc- enny was innocent of the charges preferred against im, and that the reason he struck off was to induce the captain to investigate them, and ,ive him an opportunity of proving his innecence.

Yale College—Béawtics of New Haven Society— Election of President— Meeting of the Alumni— ‘Theological Commencement— Meeting of the Phi Beta Kappa. A glorious sum and cooling breeze ushered in the second day’s continuation of the exefvises pre- liminary to commencement ; and as the magni- ficent elms waved in their majesty and verdure responsive to the bracing air, while the song of the birds warbled through the branches, the city well seemed to ane the appellation of the American Eden. There are many features about New Haven which are attractive to the antiqua- rian, the scholar, and the lover of nature. Not- withstanding the sweet freshness that eve: where prevails, yet oceasionally some oid build- ing, or or tree, or rock, culls up associations mingled with an age gone by, and of generations long since passed away; there is something in the appearance of the ume worn college, the g1- gantic trees, and the frowning rocks near by, which always inspires veneration in the breast of a stranger. The college buildings, which now through nearly two centuries have been for a time the habitation of, thousands, whose voices have since heard in the halls of Congress, in the wipit; and at the bar, dite strikingi¥ imposing from this recollection of the greatness and genius emanated frorti their walls, but also from their so- lemn appearance so appropriate to the place where Alma Mater has nu her mumerous young, and given them God speed on their en- trance into life, The churches, side by side on the spacious green, emblematic of the religion, which goes hand in hand tor the propagation of Christi- anity, are beautiful specimens of simple architec- ture, and seem as though they had spontaneously grown up under the overshadowing elms, choos- ing a spot where mature’s God could be worship- a near her noblest handiworks. In the rear of the old Middle Church, two or three plain stones, almost hidden under the luxuriant grass, mark the resting place of those,who in a day of trial and persecution led the king of a mighty nation to the scaffold: such is life and such is death; a crumb- ling fragment is the only token telling that be- neath rest the ashes of Golphe and Wuiley, who once satin solemn judgment on the destinies of the King of England. 2 The eemetery at New Haven is well worth the visit of a stranger, not only from the intrinsic beauty of its situation, but from the recollection of the thousands who rest within its walls. Some bear the marks of the age, when puritanism ruled in its most br tn character; and stern me- morials of departed worth speak in gloomy plain- ness of the habits of the pile fathers; but as year r year kas gone by, lightness and grace have crept into the adornment of the tombs of the dead. As we read the figures commencing 16— and coming down to 1846, we can trace, step by step, the progress of improvement and the culti- vation of taste, even im a grave yard. A volume might be written from the inscriptions over ¢hese houses of the dead; but the most touc! one in the whole ground is on a plain marble slab, sculp- tured with a withered rose, and the solitary word, “Mi ” The virtues of the departed one, ani the grief of the living, were too holy, to be ex- posed to the eyes of a curious world. “A bles was her epitaph, Her only dirge, a scalding’ tear.” Hundreds of these might be selected from the writings,noting the decease and character of many @ patriot and christian, great and XSmiaed al ol college bell is ringing, to call the Alumni te gether, and on the way there a few thoughts arise on the private society of the “City of the Elms.” One would naturally think that here, at least, all classes would unite in harmony but not in the city of Gotham do more fashionable distinc- tions, cliques, and coteries, exist, than among the goodly inhabitants of this “rus in wrbe.?— There are several minor divisions, but the grand boundary lines of social intercourse create five distinct classes. In the first, so called, are in cluded the professors of the college (not the tu- tors), the aristocracy of the students, professional men, and the transient om constant residents of the town, who are wealthy, and “soil not their hands with Ealor’s dust.” This class is unap- proached, and impregnably unapproacheble. — Ihe second class comprises those, who, though rich in this world’s goods, yet continue in vulgar i Glass num- ber three embraces all who are shopkeepers of any sort, engaged in the retail trade, The fourth class are the industrious mechanics, among whom | may ve found many of nature’s noblemen. But the honest hand of him who is soiled with the dust from the forge, or blistered with the plane, must not contaminate the effeminate palm which folds up tape at a lady’s order. The remaining division takes in all, who look to themselves for company and pleasure, each as to himself seems fit—the poor student, the apprentice boy, and the thousand and one indescribable of every country town. That such paltry distinctions do exist, i8 as true as is the fact that if ever scandal chose one abiding place in preference to another, from the number of her votaries, New Haven 13 the one. . ‘ A110 o’clock, A. M., the Alumni met in the new library in the rear of the college, and it was an interesting sight to observe the graduates of Old Yale, as they came in couples to the hall. Here an old .nan tottering to the grave, and by his side the youth of twenty just entering into the arena of the world’s strife ‘Some we noticed who took their degrees in 1796, just one half century ago, and who hold a semi-centennial meeting this year. Of that class, numbering —,, 15 yet survive =all men from 70 to 85 years old—of them, thir teen were present at New Haven, Professor Sil- liman, Archibald Bassett, of Walton, Del. co. N. Y., and Timothy Bishop, @Jew Haven. Shubace Bartlett, an old veteran Of 80, is on the ground, also graduated at the bepinning of the present cen- tury, in the year 1300. The yearly meeting of the alucani has for its object a re-union of all tue | graduates of the Colleges and an account is read of those who have died during the past year from any of the classes, and any interesting facts con- nected with the survivors. At there meetings, ad- dresses are made by any one whom the spirit moves, and many a tear is shed at the grasping of the hand between old or young who, for years, have been long separated, and will never proba. bly meet again, except in eternity. This present ear there are more than an usual number col- ected together. Representatives from almost every graduating class of the last sixty years, as- semble in the hall, and afterwards join around the board at dinner. An elegant pavilion was erected in the College grounds, and the liberal supply of condiments prepared, showed there was { for the body as well as the mind, provided by the trastees of Alma Mater. The eldest survi- ving graduate of the College~was present at the meeting—Dr. Joseph Darling, of New Haven, who graduated in 1777, sixty-nine years ago; his head was silvered with the snow of near- ly ahundred winters. Amor others present we observed Ex-Gov. Baldwin, Gov. an Fe Daggett, Judge Rollins, of Illinois, who delivered one ot the most eloquent and touching addresses we ever had the pleasure of listening to. It was indeed an affecting sight, the appearance of the bail gener were cl ustered ee es ofall ages and professions, paying homage 6 remem- tresie of their youth. On the plarform sat the venerable President Dav, surrounded men, many nearly past the age-allotted to man; but | there was one form ces eee last year ‘ol presided over the meeting, in Cotton Smith, who ,now sleeps with his fathers. Resolutions were passed complimenting the Governors of the College on its prosperity; and one amongst them for the purchasing of a marble bust of President Day, upon his retirement. It was stated by Mr. Dutton, the Secre- tary of the Mapes that some twenty years a Mr. Sheldon Clarke, bequeathed $ ), which,wasto be left at interest tll a suffi cient sum was accumulated for the foundation of a Professorship of Philosophy. The time has now arrived, and the place is to be filled. The law school which hitherto has been distinct, and not connected with the College, is now to be establish- ed on a permanent basis. The brary of Judge Hitchcock has been purchased, and large contri- butions made which promise well for the success of the undertaking. One of the most important occurrences to take place at this commencement, is the election of a President in the place of President Day, who has tendered his resignation. The principal candi- dates spoken of are Protessors Silliman and Wol- sey, Dr. Bacon ; either of them is well quali- fied for the responsible chair, but the latter has a eral unpopularity which might not benefit the terests of the institution. Throughout the whole of Wednesday the corporation have been in solemn conclave assembled, t! ough, of course, their deliberations have not been, and will not tor the present, be made publio—but in our opinion, all agree with the editor of the New Haven He- rald,*“that on whomsoever’s shoulders the mantle tay fall * * * * it can never be more honored than it has been by him who now retires from the office.” Rev. Jeremiah Day, D. D., L.

Cordiey, of Ann Harbor, Michigan was an address very creditable to the heart end of the . * Lessons from the Life of John nox,”’ by Jonathan Edwards, of Andover, Mas- sacl was a production that evinced a mind worthy of the name he bears—ecclesiastical learn- ing, and beautiful composition, were its great merits. ‘We believe and therefore speak,” by Gordon Hall, of New Hampshire, was one of the most appropriate addtesses of the day, both in its tenor and adaptation to the situation of the pio- neers of the yospel. “The religious element in education,” was a sound treatise, well delivered by Wm. De Loss Love, Barre, New York, and his remarks, connecting the subject with the in- terests of the State, were very happy. “The character of Henry Martyn,” by Chas. K McHarg of Albany, wasa very beautiful review of the life of that distinguished evangelist, and was well spoken, “Truth the foundation of eloquence,” was acomposi‘ion with the sane views as were taken by a gentleman at the last commencement of Co- lumbia College—to secure the Sree of a eople their confidence must be obtained. ‘*The Hidden Life,” by Henry M. Goodwin, of Hart- ford, Conn , was a truly eloquent address, and abounding in rich metaphor. The remarks on Futurity were well delivered, well written, and listened to by the numerous audience with pro- found attention. ‘What American preaching ought to be,” by J. Augustine Benton, of N. Y., was, in our opinion, a very narrow minded, bigot- ed View of the subject, “The Duties of the Min- ister, in respect to Politics,” was a highly original address by Wm. H, Moore, of Westbrook, Ct., and though we do not agree with the speaker in his view that church and state should ever mingle, et we must commend the bold independence of lis tone. ‘*The Educational Influences of the Pulpit,” Burdett Hart, New Britan, Ct., was the gem of the day’s performances. A prediction that this gen'leman will be heard from as one of America’s finest deliverers of pulpit eloquence, will undoubtedly be realized. Taking the address- es together, they evinced a great ty, of talent, and a strong promise for the future, but the Lona | strainof sectarian doctrines running through all the speeches, gave not much pleasure to the audi- tors.

They are solely literary. From the members of every graduating class, in almost every college of the Union, a certain number i: selected for superior character and scholarship, as candidates for the honor of admission to the so- ciety. The members elected, with the others, form a band, which comprises at present the greatest talent of our country, whether in the ior) ipit, at the bar, or in our seats of eminence. Ofcourse, the honor of membership is highly appre- ciated; and many an old man may be met with who would not exchange his flat, square gold key, the sign of the brotherhood, for the rich- est jewel in a royal coronet—(An invidious fresh man at my elbow, states that the initials of ** Phi Beta Kappa” stand for “ fine brass key,” and the ie 8.

He still bas ter tion of this large estate—he did not ecquire it i deal ing in stocks. He has realized from its possession, thus acquired, more than one hundred thousand dollars.

The returns of the banks of this State, for August, have been received by the comptroller and officially published.

Banxs oF bee er or New Youn. ). 1, 1846. 46. Aug. 1,46 3, (852,496 i It will be seen that since the last quarterly statement, the loans and discounts have decreased $3,933,946; that the specie has increased $601,685; the cash items de, creased $899,479, the amount due from banks $763,257, circulation $2,931,006, the individual deposites $2,758,924, and the United States gevornment deposites $1,377,962; while the amount due to banks is increased $1,640,176, and to the canal fund $79,387. It thus appears that the banks of this State have beep, | during the past quarter, very cautious in their move- ments ; that they have undergone a contraction, greater than we have witnessed in any preceding quarter for several years. This movement has been produced by the threatening appearance of our financial and com- mercial affairs, growing out of the position of our foreign relations, the determination of the government to revo- Intionize its financial policy, and the agitation of those measures affecting the most important and vital interests of the country. We cannot but commend the course pursued by the banking institutions of this State, as it exhibits adegree of cautiousness calculated to create & great deal of confidence in the public mind generally. The cotton season is about closing up. and we shall soon know the actual extent of the crop for 1845 and 1846.
