NEW YORK HERALD. | Wee Herald. This pub 1 will be ready os vsual at 8 o'clock on § ty morning. It will be illustra- ted with two engravings. Our Affalrs in furepe, The positioa now oceupied by this country—the importance given to our character by our/mmense growth—the acquisition of J exas—the victories of Palo Alto and Resaca dela Palma, &c. &c. &e., have been the means of attracting the attertion of the whole of Europe to the United States. We are looked upon with astonishment. We receive by every packet, packages of pers and magazines, scarcely one of which is without allusion or an article relative to this republic— its present position am the nations of the world—and its destiny. These articles, coming from monarchical countries, are of some little in- terest, and we have already published several of them. It is curious to see the effect the happy progress of freedom on this side of the Atlantic has upon the European mind. We give on the outside of this day’s Herald a few miscellaneous extracts from our foreign jour- nails. The Whigs and the Aiiministration—Unsea= sonable Party Feeling. There never was a greater or more mischie- vous mistake, than that committed by the whigs, in not sustaining the administration in the prose- cution of the war against Mexico, and in its endeavors to bring that war to an honorable termination. Nothing tends so much to lessena nation abroad, as want of unanimity at home, | particularly in time of war. At the commence- ment of the war, the entire press of the country, with one or two miserable exceptions, united in praiseworthy support of the government. But no sooner did our arms triumph, and the prospect of a cessation of hostilities occur, than the whig Press again simultaneously gave tongue, “the lit- tle dogs and all,” from the deep bay of the mas- tiffs of the Wall street press, to the discordany snarl of every abolition paper throughout the country. We believe it to be the duty of the press, with- out distinction of party, to sustain the existing admunistration in time of war. All partizan feel- ing should be forgotten, and nothing thought of but how the administration can be assisted to bring the war to a speedy and honorable termina- tion. Itis no time for bickering, no time for in- vidious reflection on the course of the govern- | ment. We should present an unbroken front. All sbouki be harmony at home until the end of the war ; then, if the administration have erred, let it be called to account. It is amenable to the tribunal of popular opinion. But let it not be ealled off from the prosecution of the war, whilst it is engaged in carrying on active operations against the enemy, to give a premature and incomplete account of its stewardship. Above ail, let not its operations against the enemy of our country be crippled by petty, fac- tious, illiberal, narrow-minded, shortsighted, party opposition. To pursue such a course is to inflict a wound upon the country. What- ever weakens the power of the administration, strengthens tha! of the enemy. We are sorry to find that the whig press is again actively engaged in assailing the adminis- tration. The whigs are evidently afraid that Mr. | Polk and his ¢ will come eut from our Mexican diftic ith honor, and they there- fore wish to detract as much as possible from the credit to which the administration will be enti- tled for bringing the war toa successful and ho. norable termi They are afraid that Mr. Polk and his cabinet will entitle themselves to praise, and they, therefore, abuse them befo hand. This con oressibly co! ible. It affords a remar tion to which 8 imsiance of the degrada ty polities reduce men, other- wise respec We may » ion in this connection the defeat of the two millions appropriation bill, by Mr. John Davis ot Massachusetts, in the Senate of the United States. Mr. Davis was aware that the appropriation was necessary for bringing about apeace. He was aware that on the passage of the bill hung the lives of hundreds and thousands, the contingency of sacrificing which lives he rashly hazarded, merely because the measure had proceeded from # democratic administration. | When he defeated the bill, it was in the face of | the direct probability of needlessly protracting the war. Had the administration been whig, no- | ly will maintain that Mr. Davis would have | acted ashe did. So that his assumption of that awful responsibility was solely dictated by party | feeling. It has been said that Mr. Davis did not intend to defeat the bill, and that it would not have passed even if he had not adopted the course he did. The facts of the case are these. The | bill was first submitted to the Senate in se | cret session, and it passed that body by the votes of all the Senators present, except six. All the leading whig Senators voted for the bill. On Saturday night, August 8, it passed the House of | Representatives, with Mr. Wilmot’s slavery pro- | vision, which was entirely out of place insuch a | bill. On Monday morning the House bill was in- troduced into the Senate, at about half past 11 | o’clock. On the question of its third reading, Mr. | Davis obtained possession of the floor, and com- | menced speaking against the bill. In the coarse of his speech, Mr. Lewis repeatedly requested him to give way for a moment, to allow him (Mr. Lewis) to offer a resolution, rescinding the | joint-resolution under the operation of which both | houses would be compelled to adjourn at 12, o'clock. Mr. Davis declined to give way, pro- mising, however, to give way time enough to per- mit the resolution to be offered. Mr. Lewis stood up three or four times, and entreated Mr. Davis to give way. Four or five voices from the whig side of the chamber cried out “no, no ;” and Mr. Davis went on until word was brought thatthe House had adjourned. He then sat down. Now, it was evident to every person in that Senate that Mr. Davis was speaking against time. The fact was ton palpable to be mistaken. Half the time his speech occupied, he was mere- | ly repeating what he had said the other half, and | the idea of speaking at 'nac time to defeat the bill by argument was totally absurd. We believe that no man regrets the course of Mr. Davis in this affair so much as he does him- | self. The mode which he adopted of defeating | the bill was utterly unworthy the dignity of a Se- nator of the United States, and would be pro- nounced contemptible in a boy’s debating society. It only shows how far men of the most exalted characters will go to gratify party feeling. Tas Doren Scnooner-or-War Apixr.—Capt. Knollaert, of the Dutch sehooner-of-war Adler, visited the North Carolina, atthe Navy Yard, yes- terday, upon which occasion a salute of thirteen guns was fired. He was received by Capt. String- ham, and after viewing the ship and partaking of a colation, he retired highly pleased with his visit. ; Stars ov tux Uniox.—To the twenty-nine now in the constellation, a slice of T s is to be taken to make another; and then Ore gon and California are to form two i ly abe vo years the Union will embrace thirty-two § ° in 1776 with thirteen it started Avvains ov Ls Piata.--We hope that our read- ers will carefully read the Jetters from Buenos Ayres, which we are now publishing. They give | & true history of the outrages lately perpetrated in Ta Plata by tho French and English ministers, | SESE NETTIE ie | @re sincere and honest in their convietions, and Tue Srate Convention—Amount or Worx Donr—The delegates elected by the people Jo amend, patch upand tinker the constitution of this State, have now been in session nearly three | months, and as yet they havenot made any per- in fulfilling the duties which to periorm. Te be sure ina body of legislators, composed of men of all ages, classes, professions, and political creeds, includ og *s, lawyers, post-masters, philosophers, fa and tailors, we cannot expeet regu: larity or quickness in despatching the basiness be- fore them, foc among so heterogenous a mass, there must be incongruity of ideas on every sub- ject, that will preelude the possibility ot harmony ceptible progr they were el juc mers, tinke on any, until all are examined and debated upon, | and the grain sifted from the chaff. But even with this charitable allowance in favor of the members of this convention, we are of opinion that there might be greater despatch than there has been. There are unfortunately too many politicians in this body—men who will talk to Buncombe, one, two and three hoursat a time, on propositions of reform, which they know can never be incorpo- rated in our organic laws, so long as society is constituted as it is—and who introduce measures of this ind with the sole aim of making political capital trom them—and eventually ot riding into otlice on the cry of protecting the interests of the poor, or some similar hackneyed hobby. In this way the time of the convention is occupied, from day to day, in critically examining propositions of reform, that emanate from designing persons, which they themselves were convinced are not only impracticable at the time they introduced them, but which, on the contrary, would revolu- tionize the formation of society, and throw us in- to anarchy and confusion. There is another class composed of fanatics and enthusiasts, whose hearts are set on ac- complishing some radical changes, entirely at variance with the experience of his- tory and the genius of our institutions. Dhese introduce their plans of reform under the impres- sion that if they were carried out and acted upon, | they would conduce to the welfare of the State, and act as a panacea for all the ills that affect the body politic. The Convention owe it to them- selves and the people, from whom these proposi- tions emanate, to hear them propounded, to refer | them to appropriate committees, and if necessa- ty, suffer them to die from suffocation; but this must of necessity take a great deal of time, which might be profitably employed in_a manner more | beneficial to the people. i This class is, however, comparatively small in the Convention, but there is still another class who are pledged to carry out a reform in our judiciary: to modify and simplify our legal proceedings by cutting off the excresences that have grown up like parasitical plants around the noble science of law, concealing the fair proportions of the noble structure—the accumulated wisdom of centuries— and exhibiting their own unsightly and ungainly deformities, instead of the chaste columns and classic architecture of the science itself. This class of legislators and reformers, arrived at the | capitol armed cap a pie, like the knights of old, and commenced an onslaught not only upon the multiplied defects that have crept into our | judiciary, but have attacked the system itself and in lieu of those principles which have stood the test of time, and which with a few modifica- tions, that the circumstanees of the time require, would still answerthe purposes for which they | were framed; they have proposed innumerable new sy-tems, the creation of their own brains, | Men who prove themselves ignorant of the first | principles of law, take upon themselves to throw | down the landmarks of centuries, and create in a | day what it has taken a thousand years to perfet. There has never been complaints made about the ie: ce of the law by persons conversant with the bject. The complaint has been against the practice of our courts in adapting the law—the cir- | cumloecutory process that must be submitted to be- fore the law is bronght to bear on those who seek | its protection in vindicating right and punishing wrong; and the delay and expense there exists in obtaining justice. class of reformers have been mystified and be- nighted. They have been lost in the mists and clouds which they themselves have produced ; and the probability is, that when the convention adjourns, the judiciary system will be untouched, | or at least that the excrescences which deform it | will be still found attached to it. When the returns of the election for delegates came to hand, we expressed our opinions that there would be too many lawyers in the convention whose interest it was to continue the present course of practice, and that they would do their utmost to perpetuate it. With the exception of some men ofthat profession, whose souls are above | any consideration ofa private nature, we still be- | lieve it would be much better if the number of | gentlemen of that cloth was smaller. We think that they have promoted this spirit of wholesale reform which would be more disastrous in its con- | Sequences, than are the evils we at present suffer under, and by pointing out the results of the measures proposed, the majority would pre- fer to put up with the present system than fly toa worse one. We may be disappointed, but we do not expect that our judiciary system will be at all improved by the State Convention. Murpers anp Assautts Iv Fiortpa.—By the | politeness of a friend we have been favored with the perusal of two letters from Quincy, Florida, showing rather a sad state of things to exist there. A driver, named Fish, waslately shot from off his seat on the stage. Three men, one a negro, and the others named Caruthers and Sam. Holloman, were arrested on suspicion of being the murder- ers, and are now in jail. The community were going to administer Lynch law, but the court being so near at hand, restrained them. Another notorious rogue, called Old Bute, was also arrest- ed ; he had broken jail twice previously. Two other convicts, named Clifton and Young, are being hunted with dogs. Attacks on the lives of the citizens are of every day occurrence. Ten | prisoners are in jail, ironed hand and foot, with a guard over them by day, and a patrol of twenty | or thirty volunteers at night. An éxtra term of the court is to be held on the 24th of September. Sreamsmp Sovrusrener.—This beautiful sea steamer, built under the superintendence of Capt. Berry, her commander, by Mr. W. H. Brown, the famous steamboat builder, is now upon the dry dock receiving her copper, and will be ready in a few days to make her trial trip. The Southerner is in every particular a sea ves- sel, calculated to perform the most difficult voy- age, with as much safety and comfort to passen- gers, as any other ship afloat. She is provided with the English marine engine, and all the requi- es of a thorough going steamer. Her rig is that of a three-masted topsail schooner—carrying on the foremast, a main sail, topsail, and tepgal- lant-sail—the masts, yards, and bowsprit, are | painted black—the hull also black—with imita- | tion of port holes. Altogether she presents ® neat and rakish ap- | pearance From Cuuzt.—The following is an extract from a letter from Valparaiso, dated June 27, 1846. “The English Consul has directions to receive and forward letie: New 0 Sharleston and New York, receiving the Srramsuie Graat Wesrern, hence the 20) for Liverpool, was spoken 21st, 15 miles north of South Shoel.

Yanx Tueatae.—A house that put us in mind of the palmy days of Old Drury, was collected within its walls last evening, to greet Mr. Collins on his last appearance ' previous to his benefit and departure, and nobly did he fulfil the oxpectations of those who wished to see the personification ef a true Irish character. Mr. C. does not take for his models, nor obtain his ideas from, thosd* who make an trishiaan @ broad burlesque of a human being, but repre e true frolicksome, jovial, devil- Me-care soul thot one loves to meet and hetes to part | As O'liaro in the * Irish At with ney,” he kept the | house in convulsions of laughter from the beginning to | the end of the co: ant he was well assisted by Fisher as the Yorkshire Attorney. In the succeeding comoly of His Last Legs,” as O'Callaghan, he personi fied the character in an auimitable manner, and satisfied | the euthusinem of the audience by appearing before the | curtain at ihe cl of the piece. This evening Mr. Collins takes a bene(it, and froma the success with which | he has played bis first engagement, we have no fears but that it Sill be a bumper for the beneficiary. ‘Three ster- | ling plays will be produced, the drama “ Born to Good Luck,” Mr. Collins a» Poudeen O’Katfert; 10 ere of } , an eo | by Mr.c, the public w Jins will sii in character, and accompany himself on the érum. The evening's performences will conclude with the iginal Lurce of the “ trish Post.” Bowxny Tueatxe.—The manager of this theatre main, | tains the enviable reputation he has acquired for em. | | ploying a company of great merit and known reputation, and producing a succession of novelties, without regard to ‘expense, trusting to the patronage of a discerning public for a return of his disbursements. In this expec- tation he is not deceived, for the patronage bestowed upon his efforts is not only flattering to him asa mana- ger, but highly lucrative. Mr Neafie, so well known at this theatre, wiil receive a benefit this evening, and the bill that is put forth is well calculated to make it a bumper. It consists of tho “ Dying Gift, or the Gold Seekers,” ‘Black Eyed Susan,” end the “ Man without a Head.” Mr. Grattan will teke eee of Ma: liam , in yea Susan,” and Mr Walcott will ap- ear as Oblivious Top in the ‘‘ Man without a Head.”— ‘his is a rare bill, and must certainly draw a very large house. Mr. Walcott will take a benefit tomorrow even- ing. We wu iss Julia Dean, who created so much sensatien in eatrical world last winter, is engaged, and will soon appear at this theatre. Gurenwicn Turatar.— The Fireman’s Daughter,” was again repeated last night, before a full house. Miss Craufcrd’s Emma, was again ominently successful, and £0 wore Mr. Freer’s Hartley, and Mr. Keene’s Trecham The enterpriso and laudable anxiety manifosted by Mr’ | Freer, the proprietor of thia excellent theatre, gives him a strong claim upon public patronage, and in his efforts to produce a local piece, such as the above, he-hasso far | proved eminently successful. We feel a confidence that this theatre, though a young aspirant for popular sup- port, will meet with every possible encouragement, and predict for it a brilliant fall season. After the fall of the curtain in the “ Fireman’s Daughter,” Miss Crauford was called out, and was ledforth by Mr. Freer, when a round id enthusiastic greeted them, upon y bowed and retired. The “ Kiss inthe Dark” | followed, and the whole performance passed off with much éclat. Mrs. G Jones, Mr. H. Stevens, and several new attractions, will be added in the course of the week. Castiz Ganpen.—This delightful saloon ig open to visiters during the day and evening, and we know of no place in the city where one can enjoy himself better, than there. An excellent orchestra performs every evening some choice pieces from the best operas, and there are upwards of one hundred cosmoramas, depicting some of the most remi le places in the world. The ices and refreshme: f the choicest quality. The view of the saloon itself is worth the price of admission. | Howes’ MammotH Cincvs.—The veople in the West- ern part of this State have now an opporiunity of seeing | the French female equostrian, Madame McCorte, the | most graceful and elegant rider that ever visited Ameri- | ca. She is attached to this circus, and is the same lady who delighted our New Yorkers last winter at Palino’s | Opera House. The summer tour of this circus has been | us far very triumphant, and Mademe McCarte has ac- juired an enviable fame. This great company will enter ockport on the evening of the 27th inst. in a grand pro- | cession, numbering 150 men and horses, and 26 car- iages, and perform there the 28th and 29th.’ The peoplo | of Lockport have a treat before them which they will do well to enjoy. | ‘Wo understand that an Italian Opera Company, under | the direction of Signor Sanquirico, will give thirty-six performances in this city the coming winter. The Signor | demanded that he should receive thirty subscribers at 700 dollars each previous to his undertaking thi barkation of the company.

The place of meeting was somo forty miles bence, in the State of Connecticut. The steamers William Young, and Buffalo were engaged for the occasion, but another and a better boat was sub- stituted.

These belonged to the lot furnished by “ Lea & Blanchard,” Philadelphia—and the sales through the day were equally cheap. Wilkes’ Exploring Expedition, was advertised in the catalogue—but was not put up—to the disappointment of several. The rules that govern the trade are to the following effect, viz : The members agree that thev will not contribute to, or ince atany other Trade Sale in this ia than those eld on the fourth Tuesday of March, and the last Tues- day of August, ineach year. Contributions to the sales shall of quanti! not less than four copies of 8 work in quarto, ten copies of a work in ‘octavo, wu exceeding five volumes, and twenty copies of duode: . unless exceeding eight volumes.

Straten Isuanp. —In the vicinity of the beautiful resi- dences at New Brighton on this island, factories are now | being erected. Cxoron Pires are still being laid down, we perceive, in various parts of the city. An hour's sprinkling of sidewalks or gutters, would, @§t now, be most devirable. Daivino Cartier THROUGH THE StrEKts.—This isa dangerous custom, and in mavy ii ces has led to futal resuits. A colored boy, in driving a wicked cow through the Bowery yesterday, had to hunt the animal through one of the branch streets ; she became infuria ted, aud mae an attempt to fo an aged woman who was passing through part of the 2d avenue. We saw day befere yesterday ia this same locality, (2d avenue) a large drove of cattle, with but a tew smal) boys to look after them, and several persons had to move to one ot the by-streets to avoid them.

Watt Staret—Nersance —In making repairs of the public streets, or ee | buildings, it is really a matter of much surprise, as well as annoyance, the utter disre- gard the persons engaged in these works have for the convenience or accommodation of the citizens.

On going to the store, he found another one of the craft at work ina mock sale,and the auctioneer of the previous day bidding vigor- ously. On being recognised by the whole party, they immediately closed the sale and sloped, leaving the plua- dered countryman alone. It is to be hoped that the next time he will w the ‘time of day” a little better. Drowsen.—Edward Crow fell into the East river, at pier No. 2 early on yesterday morning, and was drowned.

Gould and Banks alledge that at the time of the purchase, an agreement was entered into between the partios that they, Gould and Banke, should have such portion uf the lot as they might require for the convenience of their premises, upon paying a portion of the purchase money. in March,1335,one month after Merge te. | the purchase, an offer was made by the society to Gould and Banks, of rtion of the lot immediately in the rear of their pre- mises, upon condition that they would pay $2000. Gould and Banks declined, Wig abt pon an arbitration to apportion the number of feet they might require, and the amount they should pay. ‘This propositiun wae de- clined by the society, the negotiation fell through, and so matters continued until the middle of this month, when Gould and Banks filed a bill to restrain the society from proceeding with the building, and for @ specific performance of the agreement.

Horst, Sanaroaa, Aug. 22, 1846, Summary of the Routine of the Day, §c. We are compelled to remain another day, no- lens volens. The season is declining. The hotels are still full, but no longer overflowing. The ar- 1ivals to-day, from the continuation of this North- easterly weather, are comparatively few—the waiters complain that the glory of the summer is departing. For our own purposes of pastime and recreation, we find quite company enough, and the various sources of amusement will keep an active man busy from sun to sun. First, there is a walk ia the morning to the spring, for your three or four glasses, more or less, of Congress water—then breakfast—then the barber-shog—then your segar and then the newspapers—then a run among the ten-pin alleys—then a visit to the circular railroad —the Indian camp—and a general walk around the village—then a little rest—then dinner—then a letter—then the music on the green court at the United States Hotel—then a ride to the Lake, five miles out, and a sail across, three miles, to Snake Hull, in the litde steamer—then a visit to the sul- phur spring, and the sport of half an hour’s an- gling in the lake for sun-fish—then back again to | supper—then a little chat with the company | inthe parlor, then a sherry cobbler, a light to | | your own room, a chapter in the Bible, and an | undisturbed repose. R ; This treaument, of course, is not required to be | administered every day. You may take more or | | less of it at your discretion. There are many | | here who do nothing but drink Congress water— | | Others who remain only to eat and drink—others | who mostly play ten-pins—others who are on the | qui vive for a match—others who are vigilant for | green horas,” with pockets tull of the ready cash—others come and say because they have nothing else to do—orhers because. itis the iashion though they can’t make out the secret ot it—in fact there are all sorts of inducements to come here, and quite as many, perhaps, to stay at honte, especially if your calculations for a trip to the Springs are based upon an economical expen- diture; for economy here is the most unfashiona- ble thing in the world; and as the old saw runs, you might just as well be out of the world as out of the tashion,. ae We met, this afternoon, the Hon. Mr. Hilliard, of Alabama, and his boys, in a buggy, drawn by a litte Canadian pony, ou their way from the Jake; and the Hon.

Tuesday, Aug. 35—6 P. M. Stocks are all downto-day. Norwich and Worcester fell off 4, and Harlem 34, with limited sales of each. At the second board quotations experienced a further decline, with eales to some extent of Harlem. There is a small clique of brokers in the street, which puts this stock up or down, from dey to day, just as it chooses. It would be well for outsiders to look out for this fancy. In relation to the Boston money market, and Boston board of brokers, a paper of that city remarks :—" Busi- ness is gradually recovering from the depression of the | past weeks, and more cheerful countenances are seen im | the active walks of trade, and on the exchange. There is less railing against the banks for favoritiem, in not doing all that is asked of them ; and a limited amount stray paper outside, submits to seven, eight and nine per cent, including guarentee, according to time and strength, in comparative silence. That money will be easy of access this fall, at the legal rate of interest, sppears to be the general impression. In the share markets very moderate business has been done, at prices slightly ad- vanced from those of the preceding week. The trans- actions at the brokers’ board have been light, but the reported sales afford no criterion of the amount of husi- ness done in stocks, during a week. Forty members, more or less, assemble daily between the hours of eleven and twelve, when every stock on the Jist is called over, consecutively by the presiding officer. Each broker has aprinted sheet before him, and records the sales, the prices offered, the prices asked, and the number of shares in each case. Representing, as they do, the great mess of buyers and sellers, they are thus made acquainted with the state of the market, and are then prepared to execute the orders of their clionts understandingly, for buying or selling, cither at the board or in the street. The board isa useful association, and numbers in iis ranke gentle men of business talents, integrity and wealth.” Spurious twenty dollar notes on the Bank of Charles. ten, 8.C., have made their appearance in the South. The impression prevails in Detroit that the Central Railroad offered for sale by the Legislature of Michi- gan, by a law passed the 28th of March last, will be ta ken by the company chartered for that purpose. To make their election, they were allowed six months from ly resembling who is in such Grodin the Eastern States or fine castings.

The amount to be paid by the comi pany is 2,000,000 of dollars, in State bonds, or money. If the company elect to pay im bonds, an amount sufficient to pay two years interest of the bonds then outstanding, is to be paid in moncy or in the coupons of the bondson the day the company take possession of the road. Its sale will prevent texation to pay the jnterest on the State debt for two years. ‘The receipts of this road for the first six montha of the
