NEW YORK HERALD. oo New York, Thu jay, September 24, 1846, = = Interesting Condidion of our Mexican Rela- tions. blish on another page, full and interest- ulars in relation tothe affairs of our army in Mexico, and of the state of our present relations with that country. These particulars will be read with a great deal of interest, as our position towards Mexicois every day becoming more complicated, mysterious, and exciting. Our forces are being concentrated on the capital of Mexico, and still, there is no energy apparent in the people; and although they desire peace, they are either too inert, or too distracted in their coun- sels, to take the measures necessary to secure our forbearance. That Santa Anna desires peace, no one who is acquainted with the sagacious character of that general can doubt. But in his present position, he will never commit himself by appearing to be desirous of peace, until some definite intimation is given by the people that peace would be popu- lar. His policy is to seem to chime in with the will of the masses; and until they signify unmis- takably their desire for peace, his voice will be for war—with a saving, that he is for peace when- ever the people desire it. One fact would appear, however, to be beyond question—that is, that there exists some understanding between Santa Anna andthe government of the United States. Else why allow him to land at Vera Cruz? The commanding officer of the St. Mary’s could not have acted without warrant in giving him unmo- lested ingress; and the government of the United States could not have transmitted instruc- tions te let Santa Anna land, without good and sufficient reasens. We, therefore, can- not doubt that Santa Anna is favorably dis- posed towards us. But the prosecution of the war rests mainly with him. At all events, the war cannot be prosecuted vigorously without his coun- tenance. From this we cannot but conclude thay although the appearance of hostilities may not cease for a time, the war is nevertheless virtually atan end. There is one saving to this, and that is, the possibility of Santa Anna playing a double game with assurances of friendship, for the purpose of effecting a return to Mexico; and now that he is | free tonctas he pleases, he may discountenance a peaceful policy--and by endeavoring to make a successful resistance to the advance of our army, re-establish himselfas dictator of the Mexican re- pubhe. Time alone can determine his sincerity. By our late advices from Mexico, we are told that the reply of the existing government to our offer of negotiation and peace, was a demand to withdraw our troops from the country; and an in- timation that until that were done, no terms of peace could be listened to, nor any overtures en- tertained. We are not informed whether this re- ply had the countenance of Santa Anna or not. We believe, howe’ that if our overtures of peace are unavailing, their failure is to be attri- buted to the very ill-timed fluency of Mr. John Davis, of Massachusetts. In the present deplo- rable condition of Mexico, no government that can be organized has under its control sufticient pecuniary resources to sustain itself long enough to admit of the ratification of a treaty. The ob- ject of the appropriation of two millions of dollars required of Congress by the President of the United States, was, to obviate the difficulty of conducting a a negotiation, arising from the la- meniaple condition of the financial affairs of the Mexican government. Wanting this appropria- tion the President is comparatively powerless to effect an adjustment of our difficulties, and the tate of war, if not actual hostilities, may be pro- tracted to un interminable length, owing to a pet- ty gratification of party spirit, and a puerile desire on the part of a senator of the United States to thrust himself into very nnenviable notice, by re- sorting to a trick unworthy the dignity of the en- lightened body to which he belongs. What favors the conclusion that war with Mex- ico is in eflectat an end, as faras Mexico herself is concerned, is the fact that the representatives of the English, French, and Spanish crowns have forbid the Mexican government to hope for any as- sistance from either of those powers, in the Pprose- cution of the war against the United States. It is well known that Mexico relied upon the aid of knowledge that all hopes of such aid are at an end, may go far torestore her to her senses. At all events, it will not be without its effec: on Santa Anna. In a former article we noticed the very intempe- | rate language of Lord George Bentinck, M. D’Is- raeli, and others, in the House of Commons, in relation to this country. Nothing could be more ill timed or inappropriate than for an English no- bleman, in his seat in parliament, to abuse and vi- lfy a nation whose relations with England are os- tensibly of the most friendly nature. But though we may regret such an exhibition of spleen and malevolence,we nevertheless cannot be surprised atthe noble lerd’s coarseness of language, when | we take into consideration that his lordship | has hitherto devoted his whole time to the race | course and the gaming tavle. At such places peoplé will acquire language and habits by no means in consonance with the gravity and de- corum that ought to characterize statesmen. Mr. D'Ksraeli, if not the obsequious toady, is at least the very zealous and talented advocate and de- fender of his patron, Lord George. He isa sort of Bardolph to Lord George’s Falstaif. Never did special pleader defend his client at the Old Bailey with more zeal, tact, wit, cunning, elo- quence, and blarney, than does Mr. D’Israeli back Lord George ‘against the field,” regard- less of the many awkward blunders, tumbles, mishaps, and break-neck scrapes, that his lord- ship mos: industriously contrives to get into. We need aot be surprised, therefore, that Mr. D’Is- raeli should call us bard names, when Lord George Bentinck first gave tongue. We would be inclined to treat the very undig- nified debate on American affairs in the British House of Cominons, with all the ind)iference it merits, had not Lord Palmerston, the present Seoretary of State tor Foreign Affairs, given it some color of importance, by declaring it to be the intention of the British government to trans- mit to ours an offer of mediation, in such a shape as would not fail to draw an answer of some sort from our government. Should this design be car- ried out, the result cannot but be humiliating to the British Government. Lord Palmerston ought to be aware that no offers of mediation coming from the British government, will be accepted by our’s. Should he be satisfied with nothing short of a flat refusal, we have no objection that he shouid be gratified. Our government would scorn to be discourteous, but that they will be firm ul rejecting all offers of mediation, we have every reason to believe. The English government may probably bully the Mexicans, and with us they may try alittle biuster. English interests are sui- fering by this war between Mexico and the United States. Now that the Oregon question is settled, there exists no longer any inducement to promots hostility between Mexico and the United States. On the contrary, it is the policy of England to bring about a peace as soon as possible. For theaccom- Plishment of this object, they will probably try their usual method—bully the one, and binster with the other. This system will not in this in- stance succeed. We desire peace with Mexico, but we will not be hectored into it by We have made England.— peaceful overtures to Mexico. if she necept them, so far 80 well ; if not, we will he obliged to compel her. If England, through re- ard to her own cominercial interests, prevail He may have deceived our government | tion. But with us she must not interfere. Some papers have expressed surprise that the Union has not made mention of the fate of our overtures to Mexico. Itis no matter of surprise tous. That paper is never trusted by the admin- istration with any important official information ; and one might with as much success look for offi- cial intelligence in a paper published on the ex- treme limits of Wisconsin, as expect to find it in the reputed organ of the Administration at Wash- ington. Tur Jersey Crry Feary.—We are glad to per- ceive that this subject is receiving the attention which the principle it involves, and its inherent interest deserve. Communications, from all quarters, continue to pour in upon us; but we do not see that they contain any thing new. To be sure, many of them refer to the terms of the char- ter granted by the Legislature to the Jersey as- sociates, and insist that under that charter these associates have not the privilege of running a ferry; but this is a matter that we have no desire to meddle with. The judicial tribunals of the | State of New Jersey have alone jurisdiction, and , are fully competent to adjudicate on this ques- | tion, if it should be brought to their notice under | a writ of quo warranto, or any other proper form. | The associates may powder away as much us they please in New Jersey; they may even set up a claim to be exclusive owners of the whole length and breadth of the State for all we care; but when they attempt to cross the Hudson, and | visit the city of New York with their monopoly, and tax our citizens to swell the amount of the dividends, so frequently declared by this snug little concern, it becomes our duty, as journalists, to resist them with all our might, and confine them to the borders of their own State, where they can ride rough shed over the people, with perfect impunity, as far as we are concerned. ‘The State of New Jersey, from one end to the other, is full of monopolies; but when any par- ticular one becomes ambitious, and desires to extend the area of monopoly—not of freedom— and cross over to another State for the purpose, that other State will turn round and protect her- | | self, by either expelling the intruder—if it can be done—or, at least, by clipping it of its unjust pre- tensions, and confining it within limits, so nar row, that its sting will be harmless. The Common Council of New York have this matter now before them in proper shape, and it is | to be hoped that justice will be secured to our cit- | izens before any lease be made with this compa- ny. The Comptroller sent in a communication | to the Board of Assistants last Monday evening, | stating that a lease had been drawn up in the year 1841, for the slip at the foot of Courtlandt street, | | at the rent of four thousand dollars per annum; | but it was not signed, as the Comptroller required | the signatures of the individual members of the | on account of ene or two objectionable stipula- tions being embodied in it. The Comptroller fur- ther stated, that the President, and one or two of the members, have recently come forward and offered to sign it, and bolt it as it was drawn up, objectionable features and all, at a mouthful. | Wehave no doubt that this Jersey company would be very glad to sign this lease in a hurry, if they could have an opportunity; but what is the reason that it has remained unsigned for so | many years? and what is the reason that they have come forward recently and offered to sign it? | one of our most valuable slips, at a rent far below its value, and have also taxed our citizens as much | as they pleased for crossing the river. The pub- | lic knew nothing about the abuses that had been imposed upon them by this company, which rest- ed, as it thought, retired and secure from theeyes of oflicious intermeddlers, until the subject was taken hold of by the press. occurred, they made an effort to sign the lease, which would ensure to them the enjoyment of their extraordinary privileges for two years more. But they found that the game was blocked—that | they were caught napping, as sharp as they con- sidered themselves to be. The lynx-eyed press | had been watching them. Now that the Common Council have taken up | the subject, and are about to act uponit, we will state how the public is served by this company, and then how it ought to be served. | In the first place, the public do not getas much | foreign powers against this country, and the | rent for the use of the slip as they ought; it is clear, at first sight, that the public are entitled to more than four thousand dollarsa year for the ex- clusive use of a slip situated as the one foot of Courtlandtstreet 's. Secondly—six and a quarter cents is too much to charge for a distance less than a mile, In this age of steam and electricity, it will never do to charge so much, particularly when we have the fact before us that similar companies afford to do the same service for two cents—companies, too, that are restricted by charter from declaring over seven per cent divi- dend. Thirdly—the people of New York are not even allowed the small privilege of commuting to this ferry, but each person from the city must pay the regular monopoly price of fare, to cross the river. Fourthly—the publ of both New Jersey and New York are not served as they should be, because a boat is run only every fifteen minutes from sunrise to sunset, and every thirty minutes afterwards till one o’clock. ‘his is the way matters stand at present. Now | we will tell the Common Council how they should stand. In the first place, in order that they should get the full value of the slip, it should be put up at auction. There are many of our steamboat own- ers who would bid for it when it is known that they can get the exclusive right to establish a fer- | ry from the Common Council of Jersey City, and would prefer investing their property in this way and the certainty of getting an adequate interest | for it, torunning to Albany and other places for | twenty-five cents. Secondly—the ferriage must be putdown to three cents. Thirdly—all persons, without distinction of residence, should have the privilege of commuting. And fourthly—-a boat should be run every ten minutes during the day and night to twelve o’clock, and every half-hour from that time to sunrise. Now this is the way in which the public should be served, and the way in which it will be served if the Common Council will act determinedly in the matter. It lies with them entirely to rid our city of this monopoly, as far as our citizens are concerned, and we call upon them in the name of the people to doit. They are the guardi- ans of the peoples’ rights, and those rights are trespassed upon by a foreign corporation. It be- comes their duty to preserve the peoples’ righits, | and we call upon them to do it. In conclu- sion, We request the Common Council to authorize the Comptroller to put the slip, foot of Courtlandt street, up at auction, and lease the same to the highest bidder, on condition that the ferriage shall not exceed three cents—that a boat must be run every ten minutes, as we have above stated—and that all persons, whether they are residents of Jersey City or otherwise, shall have the privilege of commuting. ‘tn trtionatenintads NavaL.—The following isa list of officers at- tached to U.

The cost, as shown by Mr. Russ, is $3,991 57, of which $990 was contributed by private par- ties, andthe balance, $3001 67 was paid by him- self. This sum looks to be large for so smalla | piece of street, but it must be recollected that it is but an experiment, and in testing all experi- ments, a large outlay of money is indispensable. | It must not be supposed that if the whole of | Broadway were now to be paved with the Russ | pavement, that it would proportionably cost as | | much as the block between Chambers and Reade streets. | We have been frequently asked, how is Mr. | Russ to be remunerated for his labor in doing | this work, and the large outlay of inoney he has made? We certainly do not know any other way | than for the Common Council to foot the whole bill; thatis, pay the outlay, ana also Mr. Russ for histime. This gentleman, in a spirit of pa- | | triotism of the most commendable nature, under- took the enterprise for the public weal, and never expected to make acent from it. He knew thet | a solid and durable pavement could be made, in | lieu of the old fashioned and break-neck cobble stones, and he has proved it to the satisfaction of | every person. | It would be only just then that Mr. Russ should | The | notsuffer.

Sivont, tHe Great Musicran.—The desire to see this | wonderful performer increasesevery day, and the ex. | citement is now up to summer host. A few days | ago we saw in ono of our city papers that | Mr. Zani de Ferranti, the agent of this celebrated man, | refused the sum of three thousand dollars for the receipts | of the three first concerts to be given by this great vio- | linist. “We hear now, for certain, that another specula- | tor, whose sagacity is well known, has raised his offeras | high as four thousand net, taking also upon himself the | e- public | whole of the expenses. Such an extraordinary proposal has never yot been made to any of the foreign lions | which have-visited our country, and yet it was not ac- cepted. This remarkable refusal could only come from one who has witnessed the immense furor created throughout Europe ical bow ‘of Sivori, sole heir of Peganini’s talent and extraordinary genius. | We are informed that Mr. Ferranti has engaged the | Tabernacle for the Sth, 7th, 9th and 12th of October next, | when he will give the citizens of the new world a spe- cimen of his wonderful powers. Tur Arotionrons.—The Masters Bullock and Cole, to- gether with Miss Anne Maria Cole, gave their third Con- | cert at Brooklyn on Tuesday evening, and we were well | pleased to see that they are at last beginning to create the | | notice they deserve. A full and fashionable audience, amongst whom we noticed old Father Heinrich, seemed to be enraptured with the truly thrilling strains proceed ing from the instruments in the hands of these children: nor did their sweet songs make any less impression. It i impossible to particularize between their performance: | for each seems the best when the other is away ; but those who heard the solos on the violin 1; ening, must have been satisfied that the soul of ge directed th utterance of the notes. We, as well as many othe: however, missed the violoncello solo from our youn friend Delos, but an opportunity, we hope, will be given the public of hearing him again ‘this evening, when the youthful band will give a concertat the Apollo Rooms in this city. To those who have not visited them, we cor- dially recommend not to omit attending to-night.

Joshua Spencer: his sister, Mrs. Barrette, who, since the commencement of the trial, has manifest- ea ree of fraternal devotion in her attendance upon the prisoner, which, it has frequently been remarked, is highly creditable to her, under the melancholy circum- stances of the case, together with several others, con- nections of the family—all took their places near the pri- se: ‘The prisoner wore a cloak, and appeared much sunk and worn, His confinement, and the Sarat: oC r bad a marked effect upon his last fourteen days, have health. ‘The Distaict Attorney continued his address to the Jury, recapitulating the testimony, and commenting upon it. ‘In the course of his remarks, he went on to argue that the prisoner was a sane man, and was attracted ori- ‘inally by the appearance of the deceased—attracted by fe beauty and her person—proving that he was a sen- sual man. After going through testimony he con- cluded. Mr. Wiiztamson here rose, on the part of the defence, and said, hisown position in the cause enabled him to i feelings of the jury, the Court, and the Public, "who manifest such a degree of interest. in sent trial—as appeared from the vast crowds bl gms i attendance The prisoner was not tobe the of insanity was not popular— of New Jersey were to be vindicated. usband, it was not to be sed athrill of public indignation thro h the community; but when umstances were made apparent, the eatemants in relation to it, his arrest and confinement; and the exaggerated accounts connected with it, soon gave a different complexion toit. They had seen with what derness and devotion his sister had stood by the pri on this trial; they bad seen how de- votedly his oged parent had stood by him on this d how his respectable and high-minded and cle had stood by him on this emergenc —all giving the lie direct to the exaggerated a jound- ed Seacae that had been promulgated througb some of the press about this poor prisoner; and these very accounts traceable to this woman, his mother-in-law. ‘There stood those respectable friends of the prisoner by him, but he had no motlier—no, no—she was not by his side to weep for him—she slept in the “ far west,” the tenant of that tomb which had been raised for her by the hand of this r prisoner. Alas, alas, he continusd, how wayward Ras been his sad fate The jurors should hear is cay that if doubt existed as to the prisoner’s insanity, the pri- entitled to the benefit of that doubt; and udt as to the prisoner's insanity, and that ir verdict consigned the prisoner to de: feelings of the jury ata future day, should it be mi apparent before the great tribunal at which they mui alan this poor prisoner was insane. The great prejudice that existed aguinst the plea of insanity arose from the fact that it was simulated in most instances. There existed a populer prejudice against it in the country; and the press had sneeringly remarked immediately after this melancholy tragedy, that “ thyy supposed the plea of insanity weuld be set up” This plea, us set up by the defence, and fully brought out in the testimony, differed in eyery feature from that which usually characterised this plea in most instances. After further dwelling upon the subject of insanity, the learn- ed counsel went on to point atteation to cases where this plea had been successful with a jury— nity of the prisoner was far, far leas’ qi in the case of the prisoner. In the case of Singleton Mer- cer, who shot Heberton, for the seduction of his the pica of insanity was set up, and it was entirely ceasfil; yet, he would ask wh: ed that Singleton Mercer was berton tor the seduction of his si No one would believe that Mercer was insane, and the jury acquitted him in justification of the deed. He next called the atten- tion to the case of Rogers, who killed one of the wardens in the state prison. After the commission of the fatal act, he said, “ I told you I would,” addressing his victim. had been tried, and through the firmness of one man on the jury, the; not agree, and the jury was discharged, He was again tried, and the plea of insanity was sustain- ed by a verdict of the jury, after which he was confined to the lunatic asylum, and his insanity was soon made manifest beyond question. He threw himselt subse- quently out of a window, and was killed. Public feeling ‘was strongly against this plea, but he contended that feeling should not prejudice the case of his client. The opinions of the learned men who had given testimony in the case, should not be disregarded—men could shut their eyes against the light of science. At this stage the Court took its usual what would be RECKSS. Mr. Wu.tiamson continued his remarks after the Court again met. He principally applied himself to ques- tions of insanity—citing authority from the books in support of argument. After citing several English cases, during which the learned coun- | sel contended that they were analogous to the case | | | i | } | | | of insanit) | had said that of the prisoner, ent on fasay, that he trusted that no jury would be found to condemn @ man who it was believed was insane. In the case of Rogers, where it turned out that the man was insane, the jury had doubts as to his sanity—public prejudice was much against him —and yet it turned out that the man was insane. Inthat case the jury culled for instruction, and within three weeks it was ascertained that the verdict was a just one. ing into the cause, he wished to direct the the jury as to what were the symptoms of in- Betor tention of | sanity. The counsel at the opposite side contended that | they (the defence) had not proved to the jury any acts of violence on part of the prisoner, previous to the ho- mickle. He (Mr. W.) would undertake to say that they had fully proved the fares insanity. He cited cases from the ‘Journal of Insanity, which set out that sual irritability and excitement;” also, watchful and averted eye,” together, all should be taken as evidence The learned counsel who preceded him they (the defence) had got w double issue, to prove their plea of insanity. If the counsel thoeght they had got up a doubie iss he must have seen double og iene To be sure lefence had set up jealousy as the existing cause; but ‘waa insanity—th setap. The luni 0 waited cautiously until his victim had his cell, then he stealthily followed and inflicted the fatal blow; and with this caution and reserve, previo to the commission of the deed, the man was proved to be insane. There were arguments used by the State that surprised him. They (the State) put it to the jury, that though the prisoner counsel nding him, yet the defence had not put forward that doctor to prove that the prisoner was insane; but ho (Mr. W.) would put it to the jury, why did not tho State, whohad the prisoner in custody, and quite within their reach, and under their control, produce testimony to show that the prisoner was not insane? It was their duty to do this; and if they re- lied upon what they assumed, namely, that the pri- soner was not insane, they would have produced testimony to this effect, while that the prisoner was not in the habit of drinking. He never viel to take strong liquors, and only took, one occasion, during this unfortunate business, ale eree. Yet, the testimouy of Dr. Gautie: show that he considered the prisoner was crazy the da; he saw him. The expression of Dr. Gautier was “this ‘man must be either drunk or crazy,” anda little after, on seeing him, he said, ‘‘no, he is not drunk, he is cer- tainly crazy.” He next the attention of the jury to the fact’ of prisoner's taki a the jewelry’; his falling down before Mrs. Dob- | bin ; all tended to show his insanity ; and no one could doubt that he was insane. Whenever ho went to the door he ont offered by the defence, ‘to support put in by them on part of the prisoner—there never was a criminal case yet tried in New Jersey, in which | the objections were put in on — of the Staie—it was singular fact in the history of their for never before the present trial was the Stai party to object.
