1 \ We have ¢ on in informing our readers that our Post Master has published a card, Stating that he will employ a clerk to note the time at which the newspapers are received in his office, and state whether they reach there in tune to be mailed the same day We are very glad of this, and we shall adopt a similar plan. We have engaged a person to note down the hour and minute at which our bags are put in the post office, and he will be prepared, when wired, to substantiate his notes by ailidavit, if o ary This is a capital movement by Mr. Morris, and we hope he will continue it, as we intend to do, and then the fault will be brought home to the right door. We request our subscribers to keep these ar- rangements in mind, and write to us immediately when their papers fail in reaching them at the Proper time. Our greatest difficulty has been on the “ east table.” We have received the general orders, No. 36, of the War Department, containing all the pro- motions and appointments in the army made since the 17th ult. These we publish on the outside of this day’s Herald More ofthe Affairs in ireland—The Split in the Repeal Association. The next news from Ireland will be of absorb- ing interest. Mr. O’Conneli was to have appear- ed at the association on the 3d inst., and it will be seen whether he attempted to heal the breach which he himself had been instramental in , endeavor to threw all the blame of the émeute on the “Young Ireland” party, and we very much question whether he will make any serious efforts to produce a recon- ostered the seeds of dissension. Even should he desire to making. He will, doubile ciliation, considering that he himself calm the discordant elements of the repeal party, he will find it very difficultto undo what he has done—for there is no manyer of question that he authorised and promoted the late attack on the “Young Ireland ” party, which terminated in she secession of Mr. O’Brien and his friends ; and this brings us to the completion of our article of yes- terday, on the causes which led to the secession of the Young Ireland party from the assaciation. The whigs have always shown themselves more friendly to Ireland than the tories, although their friendship has beena mere negative quantity consisting more in an abstinence from coercion, and in professions of good will, than in deeds of amelioration. The tories, on the other hand, have generally adopted coercive measures in their treatment of Ireland, regardless of consequences. Mr O’Connell in the commencement of his career, joined the whigs, but latterly has kept aloof from both parties, and renounced all fellowship with either. His constant entreaty to his conn- trymen was to elect repeal candidates from each borough and county, and on no account to elect a liberal, unless he joined the association. Mr. O’Brien and his friends assented to this rule, and, in many cases, sacrificed their own private feelings in opposing their personal friends, liberals though they were, simply becanse such men refused to comply with the rule, laid down by Mr. O'Connell, to join the association. As soon as the whigs got into power, lately, by the resignation of Sir Robert Peel, Mr. O’Connell | manifested a determination to give them his sup- | port, contrary to his express promise im the asso- ciation, 10 suppo;tno man, even if he were his own son, unless h* were a repealer. The first open manifestation of this new feeling in favor the whigs, was in the case of Mr. Sheil This gentleman is a strong anti-repealer, and Mr. O'Connell had declared, again and again, that he wonld oppose him, and that no repealer should vote forhim. Meantime, Mr. Sheil got into office | —the Dungarvon election came on, and the “Young Ireland” party, who had made vigor- | ous efforts to secure the election of a re- peal candidate in opposition to Mr. Sheil, not- withstanding that Mr. O’Brien was the warm personal friend of the latter—were thunderstruck with the announcement that Mr. O’Connell had withdrawn his opposition to Mr. Sheil; and fur- thermore, that he had discountenanced all oppo- sition on the part of others. This placed Mr. O’Brien and his friends ii a most embarrassing | position. The friends of Mr. O’Brien, who had gone down to Dungarvon to oppose Mr. Sheil, re- turned to Dublin, burning with indignation at this abandonment by Mr. O’Connell, of his so- lemn pledges to have no connection with the whigs. They accused Mr. O'Connell and his friends of temporising with the whig party, now that they were in power, after pledging themselves to have no connection with them when in oppo- | sition. This charge was as vehemently denied by Mr. O’Connell’s friends, although, in a day or two after, Mr. O’Connell declared in a letter to Mr. Cecil Lawless, his determination to yield to the administration his warm support. This was another ingredient in the boiling cauldron of wrath, which seethed over in Conciliation Hall, on the memorable occasion of the secession of Mr. O’Brien and his party. Another cause which has contributed to widen the breach between the “ Young Ireland ” party and the friends of Mr. O’Connell, is to be found in the active and rigid surveillance exercised by the Mation and some members of the “Young Ire land party” over the financial accounts of the asso- ciation. There are many pensioners on the Repeal fand, whose claims, to say the least, are not well defined. Among these, is Mr. Steele, who has winced terribly under the inquiries that the Nation has instituted, from time to time, as tothe disposi- tion of the funds, and who has ever been leudest in his denunciation of that paper, and of the doc- tines of the “ Young Ireland” party. But what Proves beyond all question that an occasion for a breach was sought for by Mr. O'Connell and his triends, is the fact, that the doctrines now avowed | by the Natioy and the « Young Ireland ” party, | were promulgated by Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Steele, and others, through the length and breadth of Ire- land in former years. The “ Young Ireland” par- ty go no farther than saying that iu some extreme | cases, physical force is necessary. This truth is axiomatic—no man who is not a monstrosity of | fanaticism, can deny it. Mr. O'Connell him- | seli has avowed the doctrine in former years. Mr. Steele has avowed it. Mr. John | O’Connell has avowed it—the Catholic priests have avowed it—the Catholic bishops have | avowed it. Yet, because the Nation has avowed it, Mr. John O’Conneli declares that the Nation | ™4n, Washington; G Cohoun, should be repudiated by the association, and that means should be adopted to limit its circulation, | Boston; J.

Jowee, de. all is every day widening between them and the O'Coanel party. Captain Broderick, one of the Warmest supporters of Mr. O’Connell, having in- solted Mr Meagher at the meeting in Conciliation H the 20h ult, was called upon by the lat- er gentleman for eansfeetion, which the Captain det » give, Me, Meagher intlieted personal Chasteement on hom tn the street, for whieh act he wa foely arrested at the instance { Captain Broderick, and bound over to keep the soe. Other similar consequences are t from the irritated state feeling ex- n the two hostile sections of the Re- ers, and the cause which stirred up the mind of the nation from its lowest depths will be jeopar- dized by the petty selfishness of designing men. The English press, both Whig and Tory, ever hos- tle to the true interests of Ireland, are eulogising Mr O'Connell for his open abandonment of his principles, and denouncing Smith O'Brien and the * Young Ireland” party. Taki+g into consideration the presemt posture of Irish affairs, the next news from Ireland will be of great importance ‘The Peace | rists w' jextco, The relations between the United States and Mex.co have lately assumed a new and singular aspect, the result of which will soon be manifest, and must soon take place. It is already known that Mr. Buchanan despatched Mr. Habersham as bearer of despatches to Commodore Connor, and alsoto the Mexican Minister of Foreign Af- tairs, on the 20ch of July last, which despatches contained pacific overtures likely to be accepted by Mexico. \ e published in our paper yesterday, a para- graph from the New Orleans Picaywne, stating that Mr. Habersham had arrived at Pensacola, and then proceeded to sea in the revenue cutter Walcott, bound te Vera Cruz, but the Captain fearing the approach of a storm, put back, and Mr. Habersham then went to New Orleans, where he arrived on the 13:h inst., and was to have left again 9p the Mth for Brazos, from which place he would proceed to Vera Cruz. This delay is very unfortunate, and may be the cause of another great battle between the Ame- rican and Mexican armies, which might possibly have been avoided if the messenger had met with no delay. This is plain enough, when we know, by the last accounts from Vera Craz, that Paredes had left the capital at the head of several thousand men, to oppose the march of General Taylor and the American army, on the same day that Mr- | Habersham left Washington, and also that Santa Anna and his friends left Havana oa the 8th inst., and arrived at Vera Cruz on or about the 18th inst. It follows then, that if Mr. Habersham had not met with any delay in pursuing bis route to Vera Cruz, he would have arrived there some days before Santa Anna. There cannot be any doubt that Santa Anna was proclaimed ruler of the destinies of Mexico immediately on his arrival, by the party that always advocated bis recall; and that in a few hours after, his cabinet was con- | structed. If then Mr. Habersham had arrived Lefore Santa Anna, he, Mr. Habersham, would have delivered his despatches to the minister of foreign affairs, appointed by Santa Anna, and it | not directly aeted upon, a temporary cessation of | hostilities might have resulted, by the recall of | Parede | peace, drawn up and debated. As it has hap- | pened, however, that Mr. Habersham will not | have arrived at Vera Cruz until several days af- | ter Santa Anna, and until several days after Pa- 3 and the preliminaries of ah 9 redes had taken up his |ne of march to Monte- rey, he will urive at that place before a courier from the capitol could overtake him If Paredes then bas met with no impediment, and carries out his determination to oppose the American troops, he will soon be at Monterey, and a gene- ral battle between the whole military force of the respective nations will soon take place. In the event of a battle, it is very likel; it ‘a. redes be defeated, it will be impossible for the | Mexicans to raise another army to oppose us. News from Monterey and Vera Cruz, will now be looked for with more anxiety than ever. NativeisM AND ABoLIrionism.—All the wire pul- lers and stratagem planners of all the political parties in this State, have their wits at work in | laying their plans for the ensuing fall election. The natives are already in the field, and have put forth; their nominations for Governor and | Lieutenant Gevernor, having at their convention | that was held a few days since, nominated Ed- ward C. Delavan, the temperance advocate, for the first office, and George Folsom of this city for | | the other. The convention displayed good management | — i inati | does so admirably the practical operation of our system | and some tact in these nominations, for Mr. nquestionably, make a pi Sana ple.are under great obligations to t hope his reward will be is merits. “The Statesman’s Manual” is the best | we know of on republican government—in fact, | je best, we think that has tion and temperance votes. The long cherished projects of the abolitionists to hold the balance of power, and then unite with either sos to con- trol the State, will no doubt be attempted next election. In this way, then, the next election assumes a | very interesting, ifnot an important aspect; and it will require the most strenuous exertions on the | part of the democrats to avoid a total defeat. I a union like this between the whigs, natives, abo- | fi litionists, and temperance men, be effected, it | resend | will forever settle the question of negro rights in this State.

Most of the members of doth Boards of Brokers have returned from the ceuntry and have resumed their seats, notwithstanding which the operations in the stock market are extremely limited, and prices, with one or two exceptions, continue very much depressed. The only way we can account for this inactivity and apathy among the steck speculators, isthe want of means to get up an extensive movement in some particular fancy, ‘The only way to draw in the outside operators is to start up one or more of the leading fancies, when they may get the ball once more in motion. and make up somewhat for the inactivity of the past three months. The money market is not very easy, and the benks are very cautious in their expansions. Several heavy(failures have taken place lately, and the utmost caution is neces: sary, it being extremely difficult to distinguish the good from the bad, the solvent from the insolvent, the sound from the unsound. Many of our oldest and largest houses, having an unlimited credit and supposed to be wealthy, have been suddenly proved to be insolvent and rotten to the core Wecan only comparethom to an egg. with the | inside extracted, the shell appearing whole and sound Another—The dwelling house occupied by Mr. Giffay, | until crushed, when it is seen to be hollow and worth- less.

There is, however, such a wide margin for an advance in the principal railroad stocks, that it is our impression that there will be, before the lapse of many week an upward movement of some ;importance and to some extont. The annexed table exhibits the quotations for stocks in this market for each day of the past week, and at the close of the market on the previous Saturday. It will be perceived that there has been very'little doing in some of the fancies, while prices for others have been exceeding- | ly uniform.
