Leaving out of consideration the Ore- | gon question, the news she will bring will be as importantes any that has reached us for the last twelve months. The affuirs of Ireland have at length reached a | crisis. The Young Ireland party has been dis- | membered from the repeal asscciation, through | the jealousy of Mr. O'Connell and his party, and, by the last accounts, the latter were about to unite with the whigs in support of the adminis- tration, The separation of Mr. O’Brien and his party was sought by the O'Connell party, and will be no doubt to them a subject of triumph. But we will not be surprised if it be a death blow to the association.

Whigs, in Utica. ept. 23 N. Reformers in Albany “Sept 29. Democrats in Attica. Oct. 1. Anti Renters in Aloany « Oct. 6. The natives held their Convention last month, and made their nominations ; but their candidate for Governor having declined, they will have to meet again to select another candidate. This party is active in making their several nominations in caucus. Edward Prime is to be their candidate for the State Senate from the district including Westchesier ; and Augustus T. Cowman, from the district of Dutchess and Ulster counties. Among the democrats, several movements are making. Ald. Hart is talked of as the democratic candidate in the Third Congressional District, or, | perhaps, for the State Senate. | The whigs and natives have it in contempla- tion to nominate John Leveridge in the Congres- sional District, now represented by Mr. Maclay, and either J. P. Phovnix, or ex-Ald. Drake, for the Third District. | But just now, the State nominations are the | great difliculiy with the whigs and democrats.— They are so split up into fragments, that they fear a single move on the dirty chess board of politics will lose the State tothem. They are real y tobe pitied Mexican Privatrers.—Dectpepiy Coor.—It ap- | pears that Don Francisco Arrangoiz, Mexican Consul at Havana, has written tothe Acting Consul at New Orleans, and to Don Juan de la Granja, Consal-General in New York, ordering them to | issne letters of marque, by the authority of the Mex can government, to prey upon American | commerce. This is decidedly the coolest piece of impudence | that we ever heard of, and characteristic of that | ignorant, silly, and degenerate people, who | imagine, we suppose, that the American people are on a par with themselves in villany and ras- cality. They have yet to learn that no man, with the proud title of American citizen, could be so basaand depraved as to fight against his country. | We hope some letters of marque will be issued, | and els sent to sea, for then our tars will have the pleasure of capturing them, and get their pockets lined with the proceeds. __ NAVIGATION OF THE CoLumara.—The newspaper press throughout the country have just awoke from a deep sleep, and, after wiping the cobwebs fiom their eyes, have discovered that the navigation clause in the Oregen treaty 1s of doubtful construction, and may, perhaps, be con- | strued into an absolute and unlimited right by the | British. 1! our enterprising contemporaries will | refer to the files of the Herald they will see that this subject was thoroughiy sifted by us many weeks ago, and a conclusion arrived at which ‘was confirmed by facts that subsequently caine | our knowledge, | | improper conduct in Broadway. took ‘Operation of the Rankrupt Law of 1841—An | Tlustration of the Stupendous. We have received the official reports of the re- turns made to the State Department at Washing- ton, of the number of persons who took the bene- fit of the bankrupt act in 1841, Nobody will doubt that many an honest man was saved from ruin and starvation by the Bank- rupt law of 1841. It was an act of mercy to some honest unfortunate men who had been prostrated _ in their business cencerns by untoward circum- stances, and who would never have been able to resume business but for the operation of the law of 1841. Yet the fact that under the operation of that law the enormous sum of four hundred and forty millions, nine hundred and thirty-four thou- sand, six hundred and fifteen dollars, have been wiped out, sponged out, and forever extinguished, and that only in twenty-one out of the twenty- eight states and territories, must prove that the frauds perpetrated under the act were gigantic and extraordinary. ~*~ .

Here are the naked results: Four hundred and forty mil lions of dollars due, and owing, from a certain | number of men to a certain number of other men, and the government obliged to step in and cancel those debts by an extraordinary act of the national legislature. But it was net alone those who had been unfortunate in speculation who were beuefited by the operation of this law. Men took advantage of it who wished to defraud their creditors, just as some men are at present taking advantage of the passage of the new tariff act, as a pretext for cutting down the wages of those in their employ. There was something extraordinary in the mania that seized upon the people in 1835 and 1886. The whole Union was turned intoa Wall street. The fulse gleam of sudden wealth, which drew away men’s minds fromm the quiet, honest, and steady pursuit of wealth, by gradual accumu. lation, was only equalled in intens ty by the gloom that succeeded. Men found their suddenly ac- quired wealth transformed, like the fabled gifts of the arch destroyer of mankind, into dross in their purses. A few, it is true, remained wealthy, | but thousands were impoverished. The returns, which we have given above, of the workings of the bankrupt act, form a terrific commentary on the recklessness of men when they are seized with the accursed thirst for gold.

The criminal statistics of our city will probably prove that there has been less crime committed in the metropolis since the star police came into existence than at any previous time. We are grieved to see, however, that there are certain persons, from whose official station better conduct should be expected, who, because they have been elected to represent their fellow-citi- zens in our civic counciis, imagine that they can control the police department, and in case of misconduet, consider themselves privileged from interference, A shorttime since one of our police in the discharge of his duties found it neces- sary toarrest an Alderman in Church street, and for taking the liberty, he has been threatened with the loss of office. Mors recently, the police ar- rested one or two of the city fathers for alleged It appeared that the Aldermen, who had been to @ dinner during the day, and aldermantike, had, it is said, mbibed more strong coffee after their turtle soup than was consistent with the rules of pro- priety, and coming home late in the night, it into their heads to see how the new | Russ pavement in Broadway was getting on. Now ithappened that some of the police were engaged keeping people from walking on the new pavement, until it should be finished, and who according to their directions from the Mayor, re- quested the delegation of our city fathers to keep off. This was more than aldermanic dignity could stand, and the very polite answer addressed | by them to the police was to go to some particu. | tion belo: larly hot place, where thermometers are useless and ice creams ata great premium, The stars repeated the request, the city fathers continued as they had before—and the upshot of the matter ‘was, that the wor:hy Aldermen were sately lodged on the sidewalk, their proper place. We understand that in this case, to the officers who thus manfully did their duty in spite of every thing, are threatened with the loss of office on the complaint of the city fathers. We shall keep a sharp eye on the proceedings in both cases—and defend the policemen in question. A few years since it was impossible to find an officer to do his duty faithfully and fearlessly—we have got a few now, and any interference with them while per- forming their duty must, ought, and will, be frowned down by the community. be Iape-ay go Arn Eagle, that the mu been arrested.

H. | Chase, of the U. S. Engineers, a brief memoir explanatory of a new trace of a front of a for- | tifieation, in place of the present bastioned front, | which we have read with a good deal of interest. We are not, however, sufficiently conversant with the subject to venture an opinion on its me- rits, but from what we know of the author’s qualifications, we are led to believe that the me- | moir is well worthy the attention of military and scientific men. The publication, however, proves that weare not deficient in military resources of any kind, which remain latent until cireumstan- ces like the Mexican, or any other war, bring them forth. The probability is, that no country pos- sesses greater military resources than these Uni- ted States. From Puerto Caneio.—By the brig Rowena, at Philadelphia, the proprietors of the Merchants’ Exchange have advices to the 10th instant. It is stated that commissioners have been appointed by the government of New Greneda and El Qua- | dor, for the purpose of regulating the difficulties unhappily existing between the two republics, | with fair prospects of success. Business continues dull, coffee scarce at 8 a 8k cts—the new crop bids fair to be abundant. Indigo is scarce and nominal at7 rs. per lb. The new crop willcommence in | September. Ox and cow hides are scarce and bought up for European markets. No cotton in market, sales were at 8} to 9§ cts. Flour is worth ‘$13 to $18 50; lard 18 a 20 cts.; butter in demand | at 81 to 35 cts.

Geo. ge Jones has proved a great curd BPike mansxement, and hers ing attracts great atten- tion. This evening the grand drama of “Joan of Arc ” will be performed, Mrs. Geo. Jones taking the part of the Maid of Orleans, and Mr. Freer himself that of Beauvais — succeeding which, M’'lle Julia Vincent, a most excellent artiste, will dance a grand “ Pas Seul.” The burletta of e Cottage of Content,” and the drama of * Robert Macaire,” will also’be produced. ‘To see the latter play alone, by ths Greenwich company, is worth more than the price of admission.

In suggesting that the lepers spoken of in the gospel were to be referred to the priests —who were tecleanse and,purify them—he was led to refleetupon the peculiar properties of the lepers, and what was the emblem they were in- tended torepresent; and, also, if the lepers re- ferred to in the gospel were not a disease that af- fected the canstitution of the individual, and dis- tracted his health—producing the most loathsome | appearance—and whether the cure for this disease the Saviour had sim prescribed In this | view he was led to ide that the lepers, re- the emblem of error. | licated—and referred to | r in like manner.

If this authority was not delegated tothem he | should conclude that christianity was a fable—for the the opinion If Christ e various creeds that now a ES Z 3 4 a : a i z rity, which he told fidel, that chi y was an error; but consequently , as Christ did not leave any room for controversy on the subject, the presentilistracted state of the churches was a sort of moral lepro y, and the teachings of Christ were not complied with ) But did thi: mall the family of christians? inly not. Then there must bea portion of the ‘ian family not infected with this le- prosy, and if there is, where is the leprosy? The words of the Savior wete clear in relation to the lepers. “ Go show yourselves tothe priests” Now who were these priests? These prlests had delegated authority; and he would repeat, where were these priests as referred to in the gospel? ‘They were the Apostles, In Matthew they , also read that in delegating this authority to St. Peter, Christ said, “Thou art Petar: and on this rock 1 will build my church, and to thee | will give the keys of the | Kingdom of Heaven; feed my lambs—feed my sheep.”— | When he established his church thus on earth, he added | to those divine injunctions, ‘* Go teach all ages and na- | tions, ba them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and o! tha fioly Ghost.” This was initselfsuf- ficiently explicit; “but lest there should be any in- | terry; to this authority, he pledges that he “will be with them all days; even to the consum mation of the world.” This shows how explicit | | was the Saviour in his laying down the rules of his gos- pel. There were no tints or stains upon the beau- | tiful system of true Christianity. It was established in unity and harmony, and all under the one head. Inlook- ing at the gospel, they would find in the 10th chapter of John, that Christ designed his sheep should be all in the | same sheepfold—vnder theoneshepherd. The beautiful | prayer of Christ to his heavenly father, showed how tho | wiour designed to preserve this unity and harmon’. | They would find also in Matthew and John that the Sa- | viourexpressly delegated the power of the Church to | St. Pater, not to his disciples generally, but to Peter, and | feed my sheep ”—thus making | him supreme head. Peter was not chosen head by hi cried but by Christ himself: and the Saviour “be who will not hear the Church, let him be to the as the heathen and the publican.” The Rev. Dr. Ry: after laying de further doctrine from the scripture in support of his position, concluded. Sporting Intelligence. Cricket Matcu.—There appears to be considerable excitement and discussion in sporting circles in relation Club and the combined strength of the St. George and Union Clubs of this city and Philadelphia. The account | ‘we gave at the time was as we understood the affair, having been an eye-witness. We have since learned further particulars, from each of the parties interested, ‘and, as an impartial judge, have come to the conclusien | that there is no cause or foundation for a reversal of the first decision, We not only.consider the St. George | Club at fault, but we believe the Canada players are . innocent of the slightest wish to terminate the game upon any other grounds than beca they were ill treated, and one of their players grossly insulte d. | ‘The St. George Club admit that Dudson was wrong in | attacking Hellewell in the outrageous manner he did, | and offer no excuse for him ; but they think the eda | Club was not justified in the position it assumed, and in the refusal to continue the game upon any cenditions. It in true that the Canada Club refused to continue the game upon any conditions ; upon this point we were wrong, us our account said that they agreed to go on if the St. George Club would withdraw the individual who | committed the offence. They, from the first moment, refused all overtures made by their opponents.” It ap are, according to the version of the affair j,iven by the Canadians, that Hellewell did not intend to hit Dudson with his bat when he ran against him; it was purely accidental, as Hellewell was looking at’ the ball as he was running, aud did not mind how he carried his bat. | He did intend to ran against him, as he considered he had a perfect right to do, according ‘to the laws of the game. When the two came in contact, Dudson called Hellewell some hard name, or made an angry remark, which in- duced H to think he intended to attack him, to avoid which he ran on toward the other wicket, Dudson fol- | lowing, when the St. George players, stopped him, he then threw the ball which struck Hellewell in the | small of the back, without injuring him, however, to the extant at first reported. Dudson was not knocked down with Hellewell’s bat, and therefore did not lay peg on the ground, in great pain, as reported, by some of the rs. Pathe st. George Club made every effort to settle the difficulty, and go on with the game, but the Canada Club considered the Insult too gross to be removed, and aban- doned the game. : This is a true and correct statement of the affair, and | we will add that had it happened in Canada or in Eng- land, a player who forgets himself so far as to commit such an offence as bp aie. 4 a ball at an opponent, would be at once expelled from the club he might at the time beamember of, and not suffered to appear upon any cricket ground, or to become a member of any other club. ‘There ure many other points which we forbear touching upon, merely remarking in conclusion, that many of the Canada players peculiarly $s officers in the Dektsh ermy, und aenld aot have, soled cthereiee than they did. It was fortunate, under the eircumstances to which we allude, that the individual of the Canada club insulted, was a private gentleman. : s We regret very much that the conclusion of this match, which had been looked forward to with so much anxiety, wasof such an unfortunate character, as it has put an end to every thing of the kind hereafte e are done with this matter, and leave those interested to ar- | range the difficulties as they best can. mpan’s Excuisn Srorts.—Our citizens will have | an opportunity of indulging in healthy sports or looking | at those who do, by visiting Castle Garden next Wednes- | day.

The above is an illustration of a scene which took place a few mornings since, inthe yard of the Tombs, at anearly hour. The prisoners had been allowed to lea their cells, and take recreation within the limited bounds, provided for the purpose by a liberal and philanthropic Common Council, and had congregated in knots, vary- ing from five to a dozen in numbers, composed of “ black spirits and white, blue spirits and gray,” of every class and profession, from the fashionable swell pickpocket, to the ragged, dirty, unwashed and unshaved denizen of Dickens’ place and the Five Points. One knot of these iufferers from the pre: imperfeet organization of so. ciety, attracted our notice more than the rest. Andon proceeding to the place where they were assembled, we found a specimen of imperfect humanity with an ebon: face. a mouth resembling the entrance to the Mammo’ Cave in Kentucky, a pair of legs which put the ped: of the flamingos ‘in the Bowling Green entirely in the. shade, anda head like a worn out tar brush, discoursing to his assembled fellow martyrs from the columns of the Herald. He was reading the police intelligence, and the proceedings of the sessions the day previous, which ap- ared terest the audience exceedingly, and as might expected, expressing deep felt sympathy for the un- fortunates, whose area of liberty had been curtailed by a sentence of six years to the classic neighborhood of Sing Sing.

Justice Drinker investigated the case yesterday with a great deal of care, and trom cir- cumstances whieh came to the Justice's knowledge, he was fally coavinced that Mr Cottrell. although his con- duct in the transaction was very disgrecefal and uo gentlemanly, yet, from the testimony produced, he felt confident that no felony had been committed, consequent - ly he should not hold the accused to bailon the change. ‘he Justice, however, after a few remarks, severely re- primanded the accused, and also a forward young man of 16 years of age, who figured conspicuously in the whole transaction—showing most decidedly the march of intellect in the present rising generation; also the young man whom the girl called her “lover,” was held up to view ia this affair in anything but ‘po- sition. The es of these last two youn, en we re- frain from giving, trusting that the Ssporiion in the po- lice office will prove, (without goii the world at large,) a salutery caution fer their future coaduct | through life. Justice Drinker further remarked, that he | was satisfied in his own mind from certain maneuverings | of certain individuals that hang around the office, that | the complaint was merely instituted for the purpose of extorting money trom the accused, and he (Saahoe Orink- er) regretted much that the testimony was not sufficient- ly strong enough to warrant the arrest of the parties for acomspiracy. Much credit is due officer Stewart, for the persevering manner he showed in bringing the par- | ties up before the justice, which threw a new light up- | on the whole affair, thereby exposing some new move- | ments, which we shall notice more fully hereafter.
