—— ; NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Tuesday, August 25, 1846, The Government Organ—The Probability of a Change. A strange futuity seems to have directed, or we should rather say, misdirected the present occu- pant of the Presidential chair, as well as his im- mediate predecessor, in the choice of an organ.— One selected the Madisonian and the other the Union! What do these names embrace? Not a want of zeal for their employer’s interest on the part of those twe respectable members of the edi- torial profession. On the contrary, slave of East- ern Saltan never swore with more devotion by the beard of his master than did the Madisonian by Mr. Tyler. Chinese mandarin never bowed | his head with more assiduous industry to the command of hisemperor, than does the Union ut every word that falls from the lips of Mr, Polk. Seriously speaking, both Mr. Tyler and Mr. Polk have been very unfortunate in their choice of an organ. The Madisonian was probably the weakest that ever an administration was cursed | with. But it had one thing to recom- mend it—it did not make large preten- sions. Its oflice was to chronicle the small beer movements of the Tyler democracy, and to announce when the President wou'd hold a draw- ing-room reception. Ambition to treat of great | national questions, ithad none. Sometimes, to | be sure, it tried to soar into the atmosphere of | government policy, but soon its wings became re- jaxed, and it was glad again to creep along the earth, and content itself with launching oceasion- ally into indiscriminate praise of John Tyler. It was not to be wondered at that its death was si- maltaneous with the term of Mr. Tyler's admi- | nistration. With much greater pretensions, the Union has been far less adapted, if that were possible, ‘for encies of an administrationergan. When Mr. Pole became President of the United States, he thought he could pay no higher compliment to the democratic doctrines which he professed than by making Mr. Ritchie the editor of the adminis- tration organ. The present editor of the Union was a man who had been all his life a sound de- mocrat. He was one of the oldest, if not the old- est, editor in the country—a man whose private character was of the highest respectability and | purity, but who was unfortunately contrary to the | aphorism of the poet: in simplicity a child. The editor of the Union became the devoted cbampion of the government. But his devotion | was like the religion of the Mussulman, blind and | fatuous,, He was like a too willing witness in | sourt. He was so eager to give his evidence, as to draw, of course unwittingly, suspicion on the policy and motives of the administration. Like the Knight of the Rueful Countenance, he laid | about him indiscriminately, sparing neither ani- mate nor inanimate objects in his wrath. In his | mad zeal for the interests committed to his charge, now attacking a flock of sheep, now a windmill, | though unhorsed and pitiably mauled in each en- | counter, still returning to the charge with asmuch | spiritas ever. Did an ebscure little weekly paper, on the extreme confines of Wisconsin, or in some little smoky village in the interior of Pennsylvania, | discharge a tiny arrow against the administration, | the venerable gentleman held up his shield to ward off the blow, leaving his charge exposed to the home-thrust of some powerful adversary. Did an editor wish to discover the intended policy of the government, he had only to make a bold Statement, and forthwith would appear in the Union a dignified rebuke, and a declaration of the real intentions ofthe administration, although | in many cases such publication was most mis- chievous in its effects. The President and the members of his cabinet atlength discovered the danger and inexpediency of making the editor acquainted with state secrets. But his mischievous indiscretion was not checked. Atlength the Presi- dent was compelled, in self defence, to suffer the editor to make statements of a tendency directly | contrary to the policy of the government. This | was at once discovered; and every thing that was contradicted in the Union was forthwith set down as being virtually endorsed by the Presi- dent. At length an effort was made in Congress to induce him to resign, by cutting down his per- quisites. The old gentleman still holds on like grim death. But, from present appearances, | there is every reason to believe that the late edi- | tor of the Globe will have charge of the govern- | ment organ before the end of the present admin- istration. It is a matter greatly to be regretted, that the American government is obliged to depend for | the promulgation and defence of its policy, on | such an organ as the Union, Fortunately, that | paper is not much quoted by the European jour- nals ; but, of the opinion which is entertained by European journalists of a government, the avow- ed exponent of which is characterised by such an organ, there can unhappily be no manner of | question. Ata time when the eyes of allEurope are | turned upon America, with a foreign war pend- | ding—with grave matters of domestic and exter- | | nal policy attracting the attention of the world— | that the state journal of one of the greatest nations | of the earth, should be characterized by such a want of dignity—we speak with feelings®? the greatest personal respect for the editor of the Union—is a matter deeply to be regretted. A horse | that is used to performing feats ef graceful agility, Withimthe circumscribed limits of a circus, will be totally at fault in a steeple-chase. The editor | of the Union, accustomed to preach democracy from the sanctum of a Virginia paper, cannot be | expected to school his mind, at his time of life, to | embrace the great questions of national policy. He views everything through the small end of the | telescope. ‘ihe question eternally occurring to j him, is not, ‘how will it affect the country,” but “how will it affect the party.” In view of all these facts, it is not at all surprising that the Union | has lost the confidence of the Cabinet. | Although the Globe was objectionable in some | respects, yet its tone was dignified, and by the apparent firmness and good sense of the editors, it | challenged at tenst respect for the administration | it served. We, therefere, wish the Unton would ape the | Globe ; but we fear that it must first become the | latter to be what the latter was. | | Arrival or Foreign Vessets or Wan.—The | Duteh schooner of war, Adder, Capt. Knollaert, | came up the bay in fine style yesterday afternoon, | saluting, as she passed, the U. S. surveying brig | ‘Washington and some of the forts, but we regret | to state that no disposition was evinced by either to return the usual civilities, and she was suffered to anchor unnoticed and apparently unheeded. This, perhaps, is the only civilized city in the world where such a flagrant breach of naval, or even common courtesy could be perpetrated. The Adder left the Scheldt in compauy with the frigate Saxon, Capt. Willenex, and the brig of war Echo, Capt. Fredenberg, both bound to this city. From St. Crorx.—Capt. Tikiob, of the bark Condor, who arrived last night, having left that place on the 12th inst., states that the weather continued good, with no apprehensions of a hur- ricane. The island looked in a most flourishing condition, and gave promise of an early and abundant crop. Count or Exnons.—The next term is te be held in | colleges threughout the country have mostly been | literary corporation of the same class ; the man- | {with any in the world; | literary distinctions with a lavish hand upon any , out the length and breadth of the Union as “ Bo- | stitution like Yale or Harvard, obtains a degree | Tary society, and be a sufficient claim upon the | | where graduates of our higher colleges have pro- \ hi American and Ruropean Colleges. The annual commencements of the various held during the past month, and the usual in- crease to the number of young men who have | “finished their education” has been made. | We have been struck with the very great im- provements evidently made in the management and results of collegiate instruction ; but quite as visible are the distinctions between the litera- ry character and standing of one college and another ; and in this latter fact, appears to con- sist the only inferiority of American to European | educational honors, There are in the United States a few institu- tions established on a permanent basis, unembar- rassed, and consequently able to pursue an inde- pendent course in mental cultare and discipline, which places them on a par with any European | | ner of conveying classical knowledge is equal, and the mathematical course superior, even te that of Oxtord, or Gottingen ; and did the repu- | tation of American honorary degrees rest with | them for a character, they might safely vie | but unfortunate- ly the majority of the United States col- leges are of a different class ; like mushrooms, they have sprung up in every State of the Union, and for pecuniary interests scatter abroad their and every one whowill pay the requisite fee for the parchment. One institution in Vermont is noto- tions for this abuse of its chartered rights, so | much s0, that in Canada, a person receiving his M. D. from that source, must pursue another course of studies, and undergo a second exami- nation by a Canadian faculty, before he is allow- ed to practice within the British limits. This fact may be humiliating to American professional feel- ing, but itis true. | Other faculties might be pointed out, who are | notorious for the looseness with which candidates | are admitted to the care of the Alma Mater, and | for the open arms with which they receive any | aspirant to the title of an A.B. One college, not | | very far from our own State, is known through- | tony Bay,” from the fact that it is the receptacle of all who are dismissed from other colleges, either on account of improper conduct or want of ability. These circumstances arise principally from the poverty ofthe corporation, who are com- pelled, in order to sustain the existence of their university, to admit a number of students sufli- cient to pay the necessary expenses incident to its support. The evils of this system are self-evi- dent. Not only is the general reputation of Ame- rican education undermined, but those colleges which in fact pursue a higher and more honora- ble course, are directly injured. A student after from six to seven years of severe study at an in- of A. M. or M. D., which coming from the source it does, should of itself act as a passport to lite- world for a supportin his profession, but when the same degrees are conferred by other faculties upon those who are utterly undeserving, and in- competent, no distinction can be drawn, and the mere addition of any titulary letters toa name, renders it none the more honorable nor respected. Till these abuses can be remedied, the colleges of our country, which in reality possess deserving merit, will be as now, compelled to rise against a dead weight of mismanagement and stupidity, ever retarding their onward course. The radical difference between the European | and American College regime consists in the dif- ference of the branches of education, superiority | in which is considered the most meritorious. In the more celebrated of English, German and French universities, the dead languages are re- | garded as the principal objects of study; anda rigid course of instruction is pursued in them, | somewhat to the neglect of mathematical profi- | ciency ; while in our leading New England insti tutions a student must be thoroughiy versed in | the abstract sciences in order to arrive at an hon- orable distinction in his class. The consequence is, that, in ourown land, the mental discipline is generally much more conducive to future useful- ness and original invention than in Europe. A mind well furnished in classical lore undoubtedly possesses a fund always ready to be drawn on in elegant conversation or composition, but is not improved in those qualities which have a direct | tendency beneficial to the public. On the other hand, to the power of abstraction and habit of re- search acquired by mathematical culture, may be ascribed that inventive and improving genius so | p*culiarly American. In the few instances, too, | ceeded to Europe, for the purpose of acquiring what might be considered more satisfactory de- grees, they have almost always found that the ground which they expected to newly enter upon abroad, had already been gone ever at home ; and, in one instance especially, we remember, the grandson of the richest merchant of this city, after graduating at New Haven, was desirous of a subsequent perfecting abroad, and entered Trinity Coliege, Dublin, where, owing to the man- nerin which he had already been instructed by is American Alma Mater, he carried off triumph- antly the highest honors of the institution. All that is needed on this continent to place our | academic standing on an equality in reputation | as well as in fact, with that of Europe, is to sepa- rate the deserving from the undeserving, and let those institutions which by age and means are enabled to, and do act consistently and indepen- | dently, be placed and patronised as colleges; and let the others, which, in reality, rank no higher, | and afford no facilities greater than those to be met with in common boarding schools and acade- | mies, be avoided by all as pernicious to republi- can improvement and character; and let it be un- | 2 derstood that a degree, if obtained of one of the latter class, has connected with it ideas of ex- | pulsion and disgrace from legitimate college go- | vernment. With the hope of honorable distinc- | tion on the one hand, and surety of suspicion on | the other, the young students of the country will | soon attach themselves to, and support, the “tree | of knowledge which knows no rot.” Later From Sovurn Amenica.—By the bark Brazileiro, Captain Thomas W. Williams, we have received files of the Mercantil and Jornal do Comercio, to the 16th July. The arrival of the “Amelia Mulholland,” with the news of the war with Mexico, created great excitement. Freights for American vessels were almost impossible to be obtained. Commodore Rosseau, ef the “Columbia,” ex- pecting the corvette “ Plymouth,” and brig “* Bainbridge,” from tho river daily, has notified American shipmasters that they will convey any vessels home that put themselves under their pro- | tection. | American credits are in disrepute, and cannot be passed, except at considerable advance. | The Brazilian government are sending troops in some numbers to’ the provinces of the Rio | Grande, as is supposed, in consequence of anti- | cipated trouble with Buenos Ayres. | From the river there is no news of any particu- | | | lar moment. The Brazilian Senate were yet in session, and chiefly occupied with the interior affairs of the provinces. | The English war steamer Devastation, had ar- rived at Kio Janeiro from Portsmouth, having touched at the Rio de Prata, with military stores. | The papers are discussing, with a yood deal of acrimony, the course of the ‘English in interfering with the Brazilian slave teade ; and utter severe Albany, on the sth of September next, at which term | writs of error are to have the preference, except that the | @eses Of De Koy ve.

Miss M san | ur contemporary, will be the greatest Our Packer Sutrs—Tue Corumara, &¢o.—The: packet service. Its extent—the enterprize of the owners and commanders of the packet ships— the splendor, size, and speed of the packets, sur- Prize every one. Instead of decreasing in num- | ber, since the organization of regular steam ship | lines, they increase; they not only increase in number, but they improve in beanty of model, in | the comfort of their cabin arrangements, and in | | their size and speed ; and it now seems to be a | | fact thatthe average length of passages of the packets are twenty-five per cent shorter than be- fore the steamers began their trips. | We were yesterday forcibly impressed with | these facts while passing the pier at the foot of Beekman street. Three packet ships, the Colum- bia, Oxford, and Yorkshire, were meored at that wharf—the Columbia, Capt. Rathbone, preparing | tor sea, the Yorkshire, Capt. Bailey, getting ready for passengers, and the Oxford, Capt. Yeaton, discharging her baggage, having lately arrived | from Liverpool, whence she sailed on the 18th | ult., and noton the 16th, as reported. The pier was crowded with cotton, flour, wooden clocks, cheese, &c., &c., the cargo of the Columbia, the chief articles of export from this country to Eu- | rope. There appeared to be enough on the wharf to fill the three ships, but the whole was intended for the C. The Columbia is a splendid new packet, to leave on Tuesday next on her second trip to Liverpool. She is over one thousand tons in size, and is remarkable for the solid, substantial splen: cabins—now completely finish- ed—the symetry of her model, the supe- riority of her sailing qualities, and the skilful- ness ofherable‘and gentlemanly commander,John. Rathbone, Esq. ,late of the favorite packet Oxford. | It does not appear that any improvement can be made in the C. She embraces every thing ne- cessary toa ship of the first class. Indeed, she possesses one feature tha' is not, we believe, to | be found in any other packet, namely, a second cabin adjoining her first cabin. The state rooms of the U. are very large and airy; two or three can be thrown into a suite of rooms suitable for a family, and in which passengers can have the same comforts that they would enjoy at the Astor, American, or at Howard’s, Such is the Columbia. Any can see her at her pier, and those who wish to cross the Atlantic, will find her the packet in which to take pas- sage. The Columbia, Oxford, and Yorkshire, belong to the old line of Liverpool paekets. Navau.—The two splendid little steamers, “Vixen” and “Spitfire,” will sail to-day, at twelve o’clock; the former for Havana, and the | latter, with Commodore Nicholson on board, as bearer of despatches, for Chagres.

Does not Mr. B remember, that in September, 1889. when Stephen Price arrived from Europe. that he called upon him and entreated him to restore to his brother his property?

I find a | Agreement dated Ist May, 1921. in Mr Bradford's own handwriting, signed sealed by him, wherein it is among other things ngreed that Mr. Price’s shares in honses Nos 64 and 46 Ann street, 137 and 139 William treet, and 77 Courtlandt street. were sold by him for ighteen hundred dollars—on taking the dee’.

I find this remark “ Asta these houses, they are to be given upat any time ‘by my paying the $1900 and interest” I leave others to press pledge. Mr. Bradford may feel secure in any assertion ho may think proper to make. as the grave has closed upon the only one in this world, except himeelf, who was fully acquainted with the prasticulars of thie transaction. So faras the opinion and jndement of this world is con- cerned, he may have nought to fear: bit the day and the hour will come “ when all things shall he revealed” —when no arts can conceal -no denial nvadl—no wealth can aid or shicld.

When it shall ha been thoroughly fixished, it will make one of our best business streets. ‘The flagging. and lamp-posts in part of | | Gawen Feurr—Th | which has been vende: weeks, in the public ) el isonous quality of green fruit uring the Haat fortnige or three eta, has had a very iijurio upon those who have partaken of it, and left many cases of complaint what like the cholera. | | People cannot be too cautious of purchasing fruit of med | doscription just now.

Purchasers should therefore, in all cases, be perfectly cautious in us'ng them. | | Srager Excnoacuments.—Tho custom of enclosing | ! the sidewalks, where buildings are being erected or re- | paired, has latterly become an abuse, that is both dan- | gerous and annoying. Tha immense «pace now taken | up in Chatham street, has Jong proved a source of consie derable inconvenience to the p.s:ers by, and has lately | been railed out -to the middle of the street. We would direct the attention of the Street Inspector to this matter | Mock Auction Sroxes.—Some of these stores are still in operation in Broadway, bet are driving a poor trade. The “ greenies” appear to understand them bet. | tor then they did some tne ago. ‘The conductors of some of thei heve tried their hands at another calling, | and some of them have gone into the cast-off clothes bu- | siuess in Chatham street, which, if not a more lucrative, | must prove a safer sort of speculation. | Onninvases Acatx,—Stage drivers are falling into the old custom of intercepting the cross-walks, to the annoy. | ance of the foot passengers. We yesterday saw a group of ladies and others obliged to stop by an omnibus, that ! took up some passengers at the Fulton street crossing in | | Broodway, fe have indeed seen several instances of | the kind during our peregrinations through the city for , the last few days. | Tue Pane Fountain.—The sparkling crystal drops that used to fly up and cool the atmosphere in the vici- nity of the Park, seldom now delight the eye of the passer | by. The fountain man is much behind the age, and | | should not be so churlish in these days of warm aun- | shine. Why not allow the ‘ Maid of the Mist” to honor us more frequently with her presence. We know of no particular cause, unless it be ‘those rude benches” that scare her away. We apprehended that before now the Park fountain would be properly ornamented; but we perceive that uot even a tin saucepsa is left there to com- memorate the anniversary of this useless pond, which | can be deemed neither useful nor ornamental in its pre- | sent state. A trifling appropriation would make the Park | fountain a leading feature of attraction; but though a | resolution to this effect has been introduced before one of the Boards, by adverse legislation it Las been allowed | to sleep in the ‘‘ Tomb of the Capulets.” Mopet or New Yorx.—T! xhibition is beginning to 1 Every inhabi- rous of seeing a miniature copy of th building in which he lives, the church in which he te the theatre where he pastes his evening his eating-house, his ships; in fact, any resort which frequents, will find it ifully designed and execu end as he follows the wiuding of the streets, will see every edifice, or remarkable part of the city as correctly portrayed as accurate measurement and patient labor could render it.

At this season of the year, when families are mostly at the sea side or the springs, it would be doing themselves a good deal of service to leave thoir names and number of their residences at the olice office, as the officers would pay double dili in protecting them from the depredatious of the nightly robbers.

On the morning ef Sunday last, the 16:h inst. a very serious accident happened on the road from Mount Vernon, (Ohio,) to Cleveland—say about two miles from Londonville—by the upsetting of a stage coach, in whieh several of the passengers were very badly injured. One gentleman by the name of Lennox, who was rid- ing on the top of the coach, was thrown some sixty feet down a steep hill, and was so bad! bruised as te make it doubtful whether he oe ever recover. Three otmers, inside of the conch, had their collar bones broken,and honds and faces badly cat open—three or four crippled in the legs, and the remainder mere or less bruised and seratched. Tue accident ocsurred about halfae howr before day light, while most of the passengers were sound asleep. The stege conch belonged to Messrs. Neile Moere & Co.’s line, and intended to curry only nine or ten passengers ut the furthest, which complement was put into the coach at Co- lumbus, the starting point.
