In ordinary elections the duty of a voter is im- portant; but in this case it is of the utmost conse- ther this new constitution shall be the fundamen- tallaw ofthe Empire State for twenty years to come. It may be as well to state that the Con- stitution must be voted upon as a whole, and that no section thereof can be voted upon separately, except the following section, which will be sub- Capitulation of ‘the Mexicans at Monterey. We publish under the postscript head, on the third page, highly important intelligence from the army of invasion in Mexico, It will be seen that the American arms have again triumphed over the Mexicans, and more brilliant achieve- ments have been added to the victories of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma. the ballots shall be cast for its adoption, it will reads as follows :— . “9 Colored male citizens, possessing the qualifica- tions required by the first section of the second urticle ot the Constitution, other than the property qualifica- tion, shall have the right to vote for all officers that now are, or hereafter may be e! first day of January, 1847.

The Tobacco Trade of the United States— its Importance and Restrictions. ‘This is the second great exporting agricultural staple of this country, and several sections of the Union are deeply interested in its cultivation and consumption. Under all the restrictions which have been placed upon its admission into foreign countries, it stands only second to cotton, so tar as the annual value of shipments are concerned.— ‘The English government, as well as most of the governments of Europe, have always derived a large reverue from the enormous duty they have placed upon tobacco, which is so excessive as to lead to extensive smuggling, as well as to the most injurious adulteration. The government of the United States have, from time to time, sent special agents to the dif- ferent governments of Europe, for the purpose of | forming more favorable treaties in relation to this article; but, as yet, no material progress has been made in removing these many restrictions im- posed upon its admission into their limits. This article appears to have been selected from all others, for the purpose of providing revenue, and it isno doubt from the fact that it is entirely un article of luxury, ‘hat it has been from time immemorial subjected to these restrictions, which the cultivators of this country find particularly onerous. ‘an election, and ceding any election, shall be seized and possessed of a freehold estate of the value of two hundred and fifty charged thereon, and shall ha paid a tax thereon, shall be entitled to votq at such elec- tion.

Civit TripunaLs.—The City Convention intend to take up the report of the Judiciary Committee this evening. We think the best disposition that can be made of it would be to lay it on or under the table. There :s too much of partisan feeling in it to be palatable to a Convention chosen as this has been, or to give satisfaction to our citi- zens. Amidst all the progress to unlimited free trade, which Great Britain and some of the governments of the Continent have made within the past five years, not the most trifling concession has been made in favor of tobacco. Notwithstanding the failure of nearly ali the attempts which have been made by our government, all hope of still succeed- ing has not been abandoned. Our representa- tives abroad have recently reeeived instructions to draw the attention of the governments near which they reside to this question, and our new minister to Great Britain, Mr. Bancroft, has special instruc. tions to that effect. In fact, this question will be the principal feature in his mission, and we can- wot but pray that he may be more successful than any of his predecessors. There is at present no political question at issue between the government of the United States and that of Great Britain, and it will, therefore,be the policy of both nations to remove all the restric- tions upon the commerce of each, consistent with the peculiar character of their institutions. The recent alterations in the tariff of Great Britain have opened the ports of the United Kingdom to many of our agricultural products, upon very fa- vorable terms, and the changes in the commer- cia | system of the United States have opened mar- ke. for the manutactures of England, which have heretofore been almost entirely closed.— Mutual concessions have, therefore, been made, to an extent calculated to bind the two countries more closely together than they ever have been, but there is yet room for the -emoval of restrictions. In ourtrade with Great Britain, we have approached nearer free trade than she has. Upon an importation of one article from this country, valued at about three millions of dollars, she derives a greater revenue than we do from an importation of fifty milliors of dol- jars of her manufactures and products. \y here is the reciprocity in this case ? The immense income the treasury of Great Britain derives trom the duty upon this article imported into that country, and the importance of continuing the high duty for the purpose of re- venue, will place obstacles in the way of its re- moval, of the most difficult nature ; and we have very great fears as to the success of Mr. Bancroft’s efforts in relation to the matter. He will be aid- ed by several eminent British statesmen, who are opposed to the almost prohibitory duty upon this Annexed we give an interesting account of the article, and he will settle the question in some | loss of the above vessel, furnished us by Captain’ way, as speedily that possible.

At 4 P.M, the wind canted into the W.S. W. and 8. ‘W., and so on increased to a gale, se by 8 P.M. we were obliged to furl everything but the main to close reefed. The gale lasted about 60 hours, and long hours they were, and although the Roscius rode it out under a main topsail close reefed, it was nevertheless a hard gale, a bad cross sea, and as high as I ever saw it in the Atlantic ocean. ‘After the gale moderated, time, a class of lawyers who have zealously la- bored to destroy the New York Superior Court, as they found, with serious disappointment, that jus- tice was honestly administered, and that it was judges composing that Court.

Our citizens know that this is emphatically the poor man’s court, where speedy justice can be had at a small expense, and without feeling a lawyer; and this it is which court.

Give such men power, and not only would naturalization foreign birth would forever be denied. sions, and to abolish the office of Coroner, and, and eight Clerks, seven assistant justices, and se- over again.

I im- mediately shortened sail, rounded to, backed the main topsail, and with some difficulty launched our boat, and under the judicious management of Mr. Moore, the firat officer of the Roscius, after making four successful trips, they were all taken on board, 30 in number, safe sound, with the exception of the first officer, who had been previously hurt very badly by one of the logs oftimber. The Cromwell was considered a fine 5! two yearsold, built at Quebec, was deeply laden heavy deck load on her, to which I attribute the loss of the ship, as the sea was so high they could not scud her, and in laying to,. she shipped great quantities of water; the timber got a drift on deck, and all the logs that was given, and now give the particulars of the mighty addition that has been made tothe mer- chant pilots. In doing so, it must be admitted that two ap- | prentices have seceded from the old pilots, and gone over to the opposition—and also two licensed pilots. In justice to the old pilots, the Chamber of Commerce ought to have given the names of the seoeders, and then the old pilots could undoubt- edly give the reasons why they left them. Their organization is so perfect that there must be some object in view with those who have left. The old pilots never were stronger than they are at present.

THe REPORTED CAPTURE or MonTEREY.—The Washington Union of the 9th inst., publisnes a letter from Port La Vacca, dated the 23d ult., con- taining the tollowing paragraph :— “ Gen. Taylor has taken Monterey, and the main body of the Joene have concentrated at San Luis Potosi, (pronounced Portersee.) It is frivolous for Gen. Taylor to be marching through Mexico, paying the ,Mexi for everything they get.” The probability is that this report is a little ahead of the fact. |i is not unlikely, however, that Ampudia would retire to San Luis Potosi in order to weaken Gen. Taylor, by spreading his forore over a greater extent of country. fine ship as the Roscius fell in with them. Al- though the R. had four hundred and fifty souls on board, the reception of the shipwrecked sailors Produced no inconvenience ; the ship, therefore, must have been full found.

Affairs of La Plata. I would have written to you per Bainbridge and Ply. mouth, that sailed a few days ago, but for the simple reason of having nothing to say respecting this confound, ed “ ding dong” River Plata affair. Things have got to be scandalous. All hands appear to have made a mess of it, and whether they are now going to get out of it with cannon balls or plaister of Paris, God only knows. Mr. Hood, the former Consul General here, arrived some time back in the steamer Devastation, direct from England, as confidential agent to Roses, to see if he can make a fix of it; from his uninterrupted residence of twenty years previous, he is, as you may suppose, an old nand at the bellows; and what with his thorough know- ledge of there countries, the language, as well as person- al acquaintance with the high contracting parties, may robably in the end do fomething. There is one 2 fo ever. you can rest assured of—that if he does not it, nobody else will. Rosas hasa deal to settle; there- fore it will not be so ‘‘ tout'sweet” (tout suite) a concern as they bargained for. He is at war with half the crea- tion. as it is, and bids defiance to the rest of them; besides the flourishing province of the Banda Oriental, must be destroyed; that’s only half done as yet, and where is he going to raise an army, unless he frees the Brazilian nig- gers and where is his crown to come from} You = ee of things can’t be taken or given right slap off. Liverpool of South America, Montevideo, has been the sole cause of the present row. During the French drag-out blockade of two yeurs and a mencing in 1937, she became from necessity the empo- rium, or rather depot, of all goods, chiefly British manu- factures, destined for Buenos Ayres; an immense amount of real hard stuf! was consequently thrown into it for payment of duties, building of warehouses, and what not; rents rose, labor rose; in short, everything rose and flourished on the ruins of Buenos Ayres.

The author is George Lovel, Esq., a mer chant of London, who, while conducting an active and extensive business, has devoted a portion of his time to poetry and the drama, His first production was ‘‘ The Provost of Bruges,” in which Macready and Mrs. Kean, (then Ellen Tree,)sustained the two principal characters. “Love's Sacrifice” followed, a play, as many think. aboun- ding in poetical merit and effective situations, and which has been eminently successful. We venture to predict a resultas favorable for the play before us. It is a story ofa domestic nature; its associations are those purely of home; the ground work of its interest is connubial affection— that affection is alienated, the seeds are sown, suspicion and wild Lay spring up, a spirit of revenge ensues, and the joys domestic re are blasted in the bud. This caused by events natural and unavoidable, and that blend with the plot without its probability. The scene is laid at the period of Cromwell’s domestic wars, critical end stirring times, when proscription followed the cava- ier, and danger lurked everywhere in his path.

We have neither the room nor time to enter into an onalysis of the plot, but will go into more detail after its first performance. The style (though the play is not deficient in that respect) does not aim at an: Kiar, simple, all ‘natural tocghodt, with paanages of clear, si , and nat roughout, w’ and tenderness, and occasionally bursts of strong and uorestrained passion.

On every successive night of her appearance she has boen received by thronged houses, who evinced theit appreciation of her talents by hearty and prolonged applause ; and indeed her delineations of character are of that order which may command respect and commenda- inany country. This evening she will appear as Rosalind, in Shakspeare’s play of “*. ‘ou Like It,” assisted in the other parts of the play by the whole strength of the company. The evening’s performances yl connie mae ane — enti a the “tien t @ piece which, we understand, Te} wi thrill: and patriotic sentiment. We know that ver of bove pieces alone would suffice to fill oa house, but the two combined will crowd it from pit ome. Gagenwicn Tueatar.—Mr. Freer presents a pow- erful bill of attraction this evening. Three dramas, cach of them of intense interest, will be offered, besides other entertainments of a pleasing nature. The performances will commence with a new melo-drama, never before acted here, with all the origins] music, entitled “ Teke. li,” to be followed by a faverite dance by Miss Robinson; er which the drama of “‘Alexina,” in which Mr. Freer, Miss Crauford, and Miss Mary Duff, will sustain the goer characters. The evening will conclude with e beautiful legendary drama of‘ One O'Clock.” Miss Duffis a most promising young actress, and is des- to take a high stand in her profession. To morrow evening Mr. Freer takes his benefit, and if he receives a gupport such as we expect, and such as is due to his un- tiring industry, it will be a bumper Few artists among us deserve so well of the public as Manager Freer. Tue Acnamna was thronged last night by atruly brilliant assemblage, and the splendid performances of the truly beautiful compositions afforded universal de- light.

We heve no fear but that Mr. Alexander will meet with success. Bowery Ciacus.—Let no one forget that to-vightlis set apart for the benefit of Mr. Levi North, the great equestrian, who is probably inimitable in his line. He offers a fine bill of attraction, and we notice the names of Dole and Lipman — = assistants, each of whom is ahost in himself. Let there be a crowded house, and the benefit prove a bumper. Boston Tueatricats'—A correspondent of the Dover (N.H) Telegraph, calculating the ts of each of the Boston theatres, “' predicts” as “At the Howard Atheneum, there will be good, sub- stantial acting.
