The Mexican War In Canada, We give in another part of to-day’s paper a series of articles. which we have, from time to time, extracted from the Canadian journals, re- ferring to the war with Mexico On the whole, the opimons they express American valor are fully as favorable as could expect from our Canadian brethren; but we cannot any earthly reason in comparing the battles with the Sieks in India with those of Palo Alto, Resxca de la Palma, or Monterey, in Mexico The Sieks were half savages, and unused to the arts of war. The Mexicans, on the contrary, ever since they threw off the yoke of old Spain, have been con- stantly engaged in semi-civilized skirmishing, if warfare, with each other. They on we see not in a have acquired a familiarity with instruments | of war that can only be acquired by practice. Besides this, the Mexicans are comparatively a | civilized people, and can boast of having in their armies generals of character and renown, to command them. In speaking of those victories, and the capitu- lation of Monterey, our friends in Canada (who, | by the by, have of late years changed their opi- nions in reference to our people and our institu- tions.) do not contrast the terms in that case with | those granted in any ofthe wars of the Peninsula. We gave, a short time since, the terms of an ar- mistice concluded between the French, under Junot, and the British, under die Duke of Wel- lington, after the British had routed the French, which was infinitely more favorable to the de- feated than the terms in our case were to the Mexicans. The situations of the two armies were much the same, but yet the British were willing to accede to terms which General Taylor | would have ridiculed if proposed to him. The eyes of the Canadians are half opened— let them be fully opened when they next write about us. Female Operatives —Wages of Women. We published an article a {few days] since, di- reeting the attention of our citizens to the miser- abie pittance paid to female operatives in every branch of industry in this city, which we stated was not sufficient to provide them with a com- fortable suppoit. We instanced women who make umbrellas and parasols at from three to five cents each, as an example; and stated that, in consequence of a system of imposing fines on such girls as were absent a few minutes, their weekly wages were sadly reduced. That article, it appears, has created some dis- satisfaction among certain parties who consider themselves aggrieved by it, and have sent us communications that have had the effect of con- firming the statements we then made, and prov- | ing, beyond a shadow of doubt, that the female operatives of this city are most shamefuily treated by their employers. We insert one of the many communications we have received. ving noticed in your paper of the 20th and 21st inst, send sin relation, to the wages of wo- 4 particularly those employed in making um- elias, | would beg to make a few remarks, in one let the public know that there are some umbrella manu- facturers who are not such task masters as rept and all that is wanted is merely to state fact suppo it a certain house in street advertised for 50 girls to work on umbrellas, pur- porting to give the best of price: The advertisement referred t tion of prices, but stated that “ whom constant employment » and he goes on to paid at this establishment are as follows :—Parasols from We pay 3 cents for cotton parasols, which 20 cents each ; and we pay for umbrellas from 4 to 12 cents each. The ladies must not be left to sup- pose that their fashionable fringed parasols are made for 3 cents, With regard to other chd®ges, about fines, &c., let them fit the ones to whom they belong, (if any there be) which I do not believe ; and, farther, | do not believe that there are any operatives who would submit to any thing of that kind. In regardto the enormous which w state that if we make on an wi do ‘There is ‘would give me g ure than to raise irs’ wages, if 1 could price of the umbre! in regard ‘to the girl ag 50 girls in my employ will average over it deduction whatever ; and, in regard to 1 will say that they have as good dresses, and dress as well as a majority of the women in this city, who are not dependent on their needle for what they have. You will do an act of justice, by inserting the above, to DAR STREET. “Cedar Street” says that the prices paid at his establishment are, for parasols from 3 to 12 cents each ; and for umbrellas from 4 to 12 cents each. We will take “ Cedar Street”’ on his owa ground, and we will submit to him and the public, wheth- er his own statement does not confirm all that we have stated. We must assume that girls who make umbrel- las are obliged to eat and drink as well as other persons, and wear clothes likewise. At the low- est calculation, their board costs them two dollars per week. Now, by “Cedar Street’s” own show- ing, @ parasol sewer must make sixty-seven parasols in six days, in order to provide herself with the means of keeping body and soul together for that period, and for, every year she lives she | must make three thousand four hundred and eighty-four parasols. Suppose, again, that her clothing Jwill average one dollar per week, she must make thirty-three additional parasols per week te protect her deli- | cate frame from the scorching sun of summer, and the chills and blasts of winter, or one thou- | sand seven hundred and sixteen per year. ‘Tell it not in Gath, publish it notin the streets of As- calon,” that in the metropolis of the United States of America, the pride and admiration of the | world, that an American operative girl, must make five thousand two hundred parasols in the course of a year to provide herself with the plain- est of food and raiment for that period of time.— Oh! shame, where is thy blush ! Here are the figures, andgneither a “ Cedar street,” nor any other person can make out any other result. It may perhaps be said by some, that as the prices for making parasols vary from three cents to twelve, that an operative, by working at the twelve centers, will make more money than at the three centers Wedoubt that—for unques- tionably the scale of rates is graduated propor- tienably to the quality of work on each kind. We make this calculation on the assumption That these operatives are able to slave in this way during the whole year, without inter- ruption by sickness, or any other cause. But any person who has observed these girls going to and returning from their wor't, in the winter season, with their miserable calico dresses and worn out shoes, must have perceived that they earned their | pittance per day tractsa severe cold in wading, ankledeep in snow and slush, to her workshop, and is ineapaci> tated from sewing for six or eight weeks, what is she to do to sustain life? What resource has she but to starve? In view of these things, 1s it to be wondered that there is prostitution in this city? Is it not rather to be wondered at, that in spite of these things, our operative females are as a body, the most v.rtuous in the city? Here we have a triumphant proof of the preservation of virtue in American women, in spite of obstacles that few could overcome Octan Sream Navication—New York AND of the Boston journals are indulging in unsea- | sonable and unseemly merriment, over the strand- ing of the Great Britain steamship. They pro- fess to believe that the late accident to that noble | | Vessel will prove a death-blow to the New York | line; and over the prospect of the consequent mo- nopoly to Boston of steam communication with England, they exult extravagantly. | To say the least, we think it in extremely bad | | taste to make merry over a casualty that had nearly eventuated in an awful loss of life, that | would have carried grief and desolation into the bosom of hundreds of families in this country and | in Europe. A dispensation of Providence should be no matter of mockery; and any other occasion would have been more snitable for the indul- | gence of self complacency, at the superiority | | claimed by the Boston editors for the Boston line. | The fact is, the Great Britain has been stranded | | through no fault of her sailing powers, no fault | of her construction, no fault of her machinery.— | She went ashore in consequence of one of those | | accidents to which all boats have ever been, are, | and wiil through all time be liable, until sea cap- | tains shall have the gift of inspiration, or until | some cute Yankee shall invent a mode of dis- pelling a fog, or of making night on the wide wa ters as light as day, or giving a vessel sea-room in | | shallow water, or some other miraculous impossi- bility of that nature. The entire seaworthiness | | of the Great Britain is abundantly proved by the fact, that inthe awkward and perilous condition in which she remained from the 23d ult. until Octo- ber 2d, she withstood all the fury of a severe gale, and a heavy and dangerous sea, when even the powerful steam-tmgs despatched from Liver- pool to her assistance, were obliged to seek safety out of the bay. m As to the assertion that the New York line is de. funct, we think that the Bostonians are some- The Cunard | company are now building four mail steamers, to p'y between Liverpool and New York. A company of merchants in this city, are engaged | in building four more to ply on the same route, The French government are engaged in building four steamers to ply between France and New York; so that next year we shall jhave eleven, and if the Great Britain be got off undamaged, we shall have, with the Great Western, fourteen steamships plying between this city, and the two most important ports of Europe, while the Bostonians will be obliged to content them- selves with four. So that after all, the Boston- 1ans have no reason to crow so lustily over the accident to the Great Britain. The number of steam vessels in progress of | construction, to ply on the New York line, proves | that people are,beginning to see, what we have all along maintained, that New York is the only proper depot for the Atlantic steamers. | | what too fast in their speculations. Fraups on Emiorants.—Notwithstanding the exertions of the several Emigrant Societies and their officers, the unfortunase emigrants continue to be fleeced out of the little money they have saved for the purpose of transporting themselves | and families to the United States—and in accu- | mulating which they have been compelled to en- | dure years of privation and penury. We give below a copy of a letter from the Bri- | tish government agent in Glasgow, to the super- | intendent of the British Protective Emigrant Society in New York, which discloses some cases of cruel imposition on these unfortunate people. H. M. Emrcration Orrice, Glasgow, July 14, 1846. Bin—I beg to acquaint you that much misery has been | odeasioned to r persons in this country, by their not being provided with an early conveyance to New York, | after being made aware that their friends in America have psid for their passage out. In these cases, as engagement is entered into to send the emlesats by particular vessel, or at any stated time, vote Bo charterers in this country wait until it will suit own convenience to send the people. The friends of persons inte: to emigrate should not advance any money on theiraccount, without some written engagement as to the time when the conveyance is to be provided, and also the nameot the ship. The best course which persons in America, oe assist families to emigrate could adopt, would probably be either to remit money to triends in this country, in whom they , or to the government emigra- tios nts, at the ports where they are to embark, who would tks toe tron 0 ments for trouble to make the necessary arrange- securing the passages. Several severe casos have lately been represented to me, among which, are two with which you should be made acquainted. A passage was paid for two poor men in Ireland, to ****** & Co, . seevevese street, New York, and a passage ticket remitted them, addressed to @ person of name of *****, in Liv 1. inquiry, it appears there is no such person there provision has been made by the parties in New York, in any wry, for these passages, The men are in great dis- tress, having expended all their means, by being thus detrauded. The other case is much the same—two poor men in Ireland had a paid passage ticket remitted from sovee_ovenseee No, *eee* street, New York, i | them to apply in Glasgow, to a Mr. who would give them a passage to Liverpool, and that *** & Co., would provide them with a passage to New York. They left their homes in Ireland and came to Glasgow, where there is no such person as | that referred to, and upon writing to Liverpool, I find that the ******** there mentioned, is not to be found, so that there is evidently a system of fraud going on in New York, which ie may be able tocounteract. This “ passege ticket” has not even a date to it, nor any other stipulation. I am, sir, your obediert servant, JAMES R. FORREST, Government Agent for Emigration. To Mr. C. H. Wenn, Superintendent, British Protective Emigrant Society, New York. We would recommend foreigners, who are de- sirous of bringing their relatives and friends to this country, to follow the suggestions in this let- ter, or deal only with our respectable and up- right ship owners, who will treat them honorably and fulfil their contract to the letter. Mexican AMmoniTION.—The vessel which was mentioned in yesterday’s Herald, as about to pro- ceed from this port to Yucatan, with gunpowder, turns out to be laden only with provisions. The ammunition that she carries consis's of butter, cheese, and ovher innocuous articles of that na- ture. She sailed yesterday for Laguna. Political Intelligence Democratic Assemmty Nominatios.—The Demo- cratic Nominating Committee last evening, on the first | ballot, nominated Alex. Wells, H. Keyser, J. EF. Develir, and A. B.

The concerts and other entertainments are of the most pleasing description Some of the best mu- sicians in the city are engoged, and perform nightly. In dition to the musica ictions this evening, Mr. Wyman will give exhibitions of ventriloquism. Bowery Cracus.—Ther is to be an afteruoon as well asan evening performance at the circus to day.

CamiLLo Srvoni’s Last Coxcent.—The concert of Signor Sivori, last evening was, par excellence, the grand musical festival of the season; and, indeed,Jtaking into consideration the general superiority of talent presented, and enthusiasm manifested, we may safely place it as without parallel in the musical annals of our country Anassembly was collected within the walls of the im’ mense building by far more numerous than upon any like occasion ; and by the hero of the evening a triumph, mastery, was gained, wo. ful as it was grand. The overtures from the operas of It Pirate” and“ La Fille du Regiment,” were exceedingly well executed, and did honor to the I , Signor Rapetti. Madame Ablamo- wicz sangithe Casta Dira” and the melody “‘Savourneen Deelish,” in an exquisite manner; the latter was deserv. edly encored. The duetto ‘ Giorno D’Orror,” was a treat seldom offered in our city. Signore Pico sang mag. nificently ; her archness, the high finish and versa tility of her voice, more thag wsually appa rent, and the Rondo “ Vi C Amor di Figlia” wasencored. The first piece pl by Signor Sivori, part of a concerto composed by himself, displayed some most striking effects, and it ran a vein of broad, expressive, flowing melody ; the close of it particularly ‘was most excellent, asan example of climaxfand legiti- mate brilliancy. To the qualities of fascination, flexibili- ty, grandeur and certainty, Signor Sivori may well lay supreme claim when executing his own music. Beetho- ven’s Variations and Scherzo of the ‘(Kreutzer Sonata” performed by Mr. Jules Fontana and Sivori was a delici- ous treat; it was the gem of the evening. The third plece “Ii Campanelio” excited the same feeling as upon & previousJconcert. It was given with acharm anda grace of execution, than which nothing was ever heard more pure or admirable. It was tumultuously encored, and the sweet fantasias on the ‘Nel Cor” was substitu” ted., We have spoken of this piece before, but it seemed, as we heard it last evening, to be more graceful and deli- cate than ever in the magical tracery woven around it by the mighty genius of the artist. The enly difficulty in listening to it is that the refinement of its ingenuity becomes, like perfumes, the first breath of whichis deli- cious, almost oppressive from excess of sweetness. At its conclusion, Signor Sivori was in called be- fore the audience to receive their testimonies of admiration and delight. The piece on the pro- gramme was the ‘Carnival of Venice,” and though we ave listened often to sttempts at the theme, never did we realize its expressive beauties till given by the bow of Sivori. It may always be considered as one of the most fascinating pieces inthe violinist’s repository; but, ‘as heard last evening, replete with lustrous richness of tone, bedecked with expressiveness and feeling for beau- ty and contrast, it raised the feelings of all present to a pitch of enthusiastic excitement such as we never before witnessed. Three several times was Signor Sivori com- pelled by the vociferous cheering to return his thanks; and the thunders of applause, the waving of handwer- chieis, the cries of commendation, completed a scene which must have been seen to be appreciated. Even the ladies present evinced, by their action, the effect which genius may produce upon the mind. For eightor ten minutes the building seemed to shake with the pro- longed expressions of delight from tue thousands en- raptured by the spell of a master spirit. In a short time Signor Sivori proceeds to Boston, and there, as in every other piace he may visit, he will, by his simplicity of de- meanor, his unepproached and unapproachable talent, his uupretending merit, meet with the same triumphant suc- cess as in this ciiy. Geaman Bexevournt Societr.—We understand that preparations on agrand scale, are making forthe annual concert of this society, which will take place on the third of November next at the Tabernacle. We under- stand also, that it will be under the direction of Leopold de Meyer, the lion pianist, and that he will be assisted by Madame Rachel, Mdslle. Korsinsky, Herr Hecht, and Mr. George Loder’s talented orchestra. It promises to be a brilliant affair. Movements of Travellers. Yesterday’s arrivals filled up, at the principal hotels, the vacancies occasioned by the numerous departures from each, for the last few days. The demand for ac- commodation yesterday evening nearly exceeded the power of complying with the universal applications. America W.

Clty Intelligence, Cuose or THe Fair.— Yesterday being the last day of this grand exhibition, which has already elicited ao much marked m from the press andthe public in general, mse crowds of visiters flocked forward during the @ay totake a “parting look” at the various attractions that have ornamented the Fair during the last few weeks. Thé admirers of all’kinds of fabrics and mechanical implements—ef every description of article that belongs to the various departments of the fine arts, were busily engaged during tho day viewing the different articles exhibited. The scene wes truly animating. In one part of the Fair, wes to be seen a group of anxious admirers of an- ‘admirably executed shawl of worsted work, from the hand of some gifted lady of New York, and several were loud in their praises of the well executed pattern and de sign. The worsted work exhibited was, in genoral beautifully executed. The shirtirg, cutlery, ‘nie: millinery, cabinet mai are, jewel hortioulturs roductions—in a word, every department, exhibited a Regree of improvement that largely for the on- ward progress of science the art t 12 o’clock, Capt. Te jor, with his India rubber ‘‘Camels,” was to have made an exhibition in the river, but in conse. quence of some defect in the apparatus, was unable to try the experiment of lifting vessel out of the water as announced by advertisement ; however, st about 4 0’. clock, all the apparatus bei properly ed, he tried the experiment with eatire success, da large lighter about two feet above w: mark in the presence of an approving crowd. The “Camels,” as an evidence of ingenuity, are a sort of a in this line of art, and cannot be too highly lauded. ‘The design is to enable vessels of heavy to pass safely over and quicksands, and by the aid of Captain amels,” any vessel could be made to fioat rt it. n 4 o'clock, Mr. Meigs and Mr. W. P. Disossway, announced the premiums, and it toek no less than 2% hours for both gentlemen to get through part of the list, which was not fully read. id and silver me- dals and diplomas, were awarded to a vast number of our agriculturists, horticulturists, manufacturers, artists, &c. &c, A platform was erected in the vast area of the building specially for the occasion, and several speci- mens of fabrics and horticultural produce were exhibited from the platform. A monster pumpkin, a monstrous loaf of bread, plants, squashes, 3, and a variety of the products of the garden, and the orchard, of the spindle, and the loom, were profusely scattered around the platform. We took occasion before now to no- t'ce the extmordinary invention, in shape like a piano, for the use of the blind, upon which, by a simple operation, a blind person can write a regular letter. As a piece of me- chanical ingenuity it surpasses anything at theFair, and at tracted crowds to witness its extraordinary operations. Ablind lady sat and operated upon it during some few hours of the day, and produced some excellent lines ef ry, Several eee oreeny of mechanism exhi- ited in the Fair elicited much complimentary remark frem the visiters. At half-past seven o’clock, General Cuanpien deli- vered the closing address. In his opening remarks he took occasion to dilate upon the great improvement that had taken place in the various departments of agricul- ture, manufacture, and the arts ingeneral. There was room for all, and he contended that there should be pro- tection for all. (Applause). There was no nation on earth like that of America. All things were in abun ~ dance, and all labor ought to be protected by the govern- ment. (Applause) Proggetion for labor was the object of the men who et dd their national independence, and rescued their cy from the grasp of Great Bri- tain. Labor, he d, ought to be protected in this country. They «i protection for the laborof the country, and recent indications would seem to indicate that the object of the Government was to reduce the free labor of the country to the same level with that of the serf labor of the old world; but ho was of opinion that the labor of the country ope be protected by the Government. He went on that Great Brie tain had introduced free HY it wis for her own peculiar interest’ commercial manufacturing point of view. labor of their own country was not to be of its reward to ratify ‘or subserve the interests of Great Bri- fin. England had legislated in favor of her manufactur- ing, and against ner agricultural interest. She had skil- fully managed to let in American produce at atime when her people were on the verge of distress.

Navigation of the Ohio River. Time Places. MONKEY MARKET. a Friday, October 23—6 P. M. The stock market was quiet to-day. Long Island went up, Reading 3;; Harlem and Pennsylvania 5's were firm at yesterday’s prices. Norwich fell off The sales were not large. The position of the Long Island Railroad Company is about being changed. It is highly necessary something should be done to relieve it from the existing embarrass- ments. To do this would require a complete revolution inthe present system of management. The local re- ceipts of the company are very large, having been for the first nine months of 1846, $88,860 18, against $75,- 479 20 for the corresponding period last year—being an increase of $13,370 93—equal to about sixteen per cent. There is a very great quantity of additional local busi- ness, which this company can secure, and the local re ceipts alone will more than pay the local expenses of the road. Itis stated that the company intend abandon- ing the through business, in co: uence of the great expense of maintaining the ferry at the eastern extremi- ty of the route, and leave that open for any others dis- posed to avail themselves of it. If the company give up that ferry it will lose all the throngh travel, as there is very little probability of its being kept open by any one else. The local travel cannot pay any thing to the stook- holders, and if it pays running expenses, and the inte- rest on the debt of the company, it will do more than we anticipate. It is time something was done, as the stockholders cannot be much worse off than they are now- We annex the last two semi-annual statements of tho Central Railroad and Banking Company of Savannah, showing the movement in each department, and the ag @regates for each period :— Crntrat Raicroap axp Banxinc Comrany.
