EW YORK HERALD. New York, ™ y, October 26, 1846. Our Ltustrated Weekly. We shall publish a third edition of the Weekly Herald at wen o'clock this morning. I: will con- n the Hoyt and Myer correspondence; the late foreign news, &c. &c. ; and be ted with a view of the wreck of the monster stes ; the plan of Monterey and its { Jack the Junkman tlust fications ; and Naval and Milltary Operations. Our engravers have been engaged for several days in executing a map of Mexico, showing the routes of Generals Taylor and Patterson to the Halls of the Montezumas, and of the new points of attack on the Gulf of Mexico, It will be fin" ished to-night, in time to appear in to-morrow’s Herald. It will be found of great value as a means of reference. The Approaching Election in New York— Congressional Klections in the Union. One of the most absorbing topics of the day is the election in this State. In this city, and in- deed in all parts of the State, the storming of Monterey creates less excitement in the minds of the politicians than their anticipated storming of the ballot boxes ou the 34 of next month. We would advise all parties now so deeply interested in the preparations for this political contest, to pon- der on the following result of the recent Congres- sional election, a result obtained since the first of last August.

We donot know what to think of the present condition of the two, three, or six parties, nor can we hazard an opinion of what the result of the eleotion will be. In the whig ranks there is some opposition to Mr. Young, their candidate for go- vernor; and among the democrats there is some opposision to Silas Wright, their candidate. In this respect the two great parties are pretty well balanced. We have not received the whole number of no- minations for Assembly,of either party, and, there- fore, cannot say which presents the best ticket. In this oity the whigs have made their State, Coun- ty, and Congressional nominations—and it is probably as good a one as they ever put forth, which is perhaps saying very little in favor of the present ticket. The demoerats have nominated but two Congressmen out of four, and thirteen members of Assembly out of sixteen. Of the thirteen nominated, one or more are well known to be hostile to Silas Wright. The democrats have a great deal of trouble this year, on account of the number of aspirants in their ranks, and the difficulty of making selection without impair- ing their strength. We soe that there are six parties in the field, and a variety of questions and principles at issae, the most important of which are the noceptance or rejection of the new State consti- tutionthe new city charter, and the question of negcotufirage. Tho coming election will, there. tore, be the most varied and chequered ordeal through which the State of New York has passed since it was a State, and it is impossible to predict what the resuit will be. Besides the contest in this State, elections will he held the coming month in Mississippi, Miehi- gan, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Delaware.

The present aspect of affairs is, apparently, in favor of the whigs, in consequence of their re. cent success in Pennsylvania aud other States; but their advantages are somewhat counterbal- anced by the general unanimity among the dem- crats on all questions, on the day of election. All the above named candidates are great men, Isaac H. \ and this is a great country. Hicuiy InrerEsr'ne prom Sour AMERICA — By the Anahuac, Captain Barstow, from Rio Ja- neiro, we have received files of the Jornal do Cum- mercio to the 12th ult., inclusive. The news which we find from Montevideo, is important.— The American bark Eunomus had brought intel- ligence from that place to the 29th August. On the 15th, Mr. Hood was at Montevideo, and the propositions of which he was the bearer from the governments of France and England were accepted, with some modifications, by the Gov- ernor of Buenos Ayres, and by Gen. Oribe. On the 16th, these propositions were presented | by the ministers of the intervening powers to the oriental government. ‘The substance of them was :— the disarmam :nt of all foreign forces who might be engaged, er in garrison or other duty, in any part of the Oriental Republic. 3d.

Sto. A generaland full peace to be declared, security for life and property; the rights of foreigners to be respected; and certain Argentine emigrants to leave Montevideo. 9th. Treats of certain agreements for the disarming of the garrison of Montevideo, upon the official promises | of Oribe guaranteeing peace. A letter, in which confidence may be placed, written to the editor of the Jornal do Commercio, | states that on the 26th of August the Oriental | Goverament would probably assent to the propo- | | Sitions proposed, with perhaps some trifling amendments. Most of the vessels there were making short voyages off and on, waiting the re- sult of the negetiations. The 8th of September being the anniversary of their independence, was celebrated in Rio | with great splendor. The troops were reviewed by the Emperor, who in the evening, atthe thea- tre, was received with great enthusiasm. | A disastrous fire had occurred, having broke out in a building occupied as a pyrotechnic labo- | ratory, and filled with combustible matter of all kinds, including a large quantity of army and navy munitions. Ten or twelve persons were dangerously wounded, and the remains of several bodies taken from dhe rvins. A Freneh opera troupe was daily expected to arrive, among the names of persons attached to | which, we nouce that of Madame Duval, prima donna in the opera house of Paris. They num- bered twenty in all, and were stated to be of much merit in their profession. e The province appeared to be ina quiet state; the steamer Devastation was daily expected to arrive from Montevideo, with some definite in- telligence concerning the results of Mr. Hood’s | mission. i@ any necessity of | ith full No Requisition ror Troops as yet.—We un- | derstand from reliable authority, that our go- | vernment has as yet made no requisition on | either Pennsylvania or New York, for an addi- tional supply of troops. The reason is, that Con- | gress must authorize any suck additional supply,or | the money for them; and, therefore, no new troops can be called out until the assembling of Congress, in December. Our volunteers should, neverthe- ‘less, hold themsolves in readiness, and keep well | ies | drilled, as there will probably be work for them | the coming winter. The additional troops about to be raised, will be thrown into Mexico, by way of Tampico, as soon as that port is taken, | Common Councit.—-The board of Aldermen | meet this evening, and the Board of Assistants | on Monday evening next.

In 154) the whig orators spoke of two dollars a , day and roast beef, as a mognificent certainty; | and here these poor men have been laboring for months, aye, for months, not to tinker up an old constitution, but to make a bran new one, at a dollar and a half a day, without the roast beef — Itwould be quite unreasonable to expect any thing perfect at such wages. We don’t expect it. We never did expect it, and we are therefore not disappointed at the result. We say then, that the eity charter is good value for the money. Indeed, the members of the Con- vention have themselves agreed that the charter is | only worth the dollar and a half. Suort Cror.—There has been a frost at Charleston, 8. C., which has put a veto upona further growth of cotton this year. This will be good news to the “‘shortcrap’ men. A frost as far south as Charleston must have touched the cotton plant in the northern part of Georgia, where it was supposed there would be full an average yield. This fact will put speculators upon the “qui wivy,” and give prices an upward | movement. We shall look for further accounts “Some spe culators in this market must have been in pes- session of the above fact on Saturday, as there were large purchases late in the afternoon, which | were kept very secret.” $g The Philadelphia Telegraph is not in ope- | ration. An accident occurred somewhere on the line on Saturday evening. Theatrical: Panx Tueatre.—The play of ‘The Robbers,” one of the earliest productions of the celebrated Schiller, is to be performed this evening, Mr. Anderson sustaining the principal character. Jt was acted in Germany with a wonderful success, and produced a great sensation every where It was said that after the representation of this tragedy at Fribourg, a large party of the youth of that city, and among them the sous of the chief nobility, coptivated by the generosity and grandeur of the hero, had agreed to forma band lke his in the forests of Bo- hemia, had elected a young nobleman for their chief, who had designed by the aij of this band to carry off a beau- tiful young lady to sl wild and desperate for- tunes. The conspiracy was discovered, and the design prevented from being carried into execution. And yet there is a high moral lesson in the pl y. It shows that the noblest nature may be corrupted and overthrown by yielding to the blandishments of pleasure, and the allure- ments of vice ; it shows a man once honored and happy, leagued with the worthless aad profligate. at war wit hiv own better feelings, actuated by a mad spirit of re- venge, wading through scenes of blood, the victim of remorse and shame—wrecked in all bis hopes of this world. and dying in anticipation of the doom that awaits him inthe next It shows that virtue alone exalts a man, and how guilt degrades him; it shows that how- ever excellent may be his endownments, however noble the qualities of his nature, however towering in gran- deur his character, he rises but to fall with the lowest of his species ; he becomes the baneof the society he was formed to adorn; his noble qualities, which guilt has poisoned, become the source of the most poignant missry to their possessor, Such is the striking moral here displayed The scenes of this play have a thrilling in- terost—they are conceived and drawa with great power —a striking originality pervades the whole—the lan- guege is torcitle and expressive—the characters are marked with great strength and individuality. There is a wildaess of fancy thrown over the sci nd display- ed inthe delinextion of the characters- presents @ bold and sanguiuary banditti, bent on the most desperate | purpotess living in woods and deserts, terrible and savage as the m: wolves the the world, despised and in the estcem of men, and to ha comes the captain of a endowed him with the most generous fe proud mind and a high sense of bonor; jections of the heart were his—by anguish of d by the perfidy of a brothe: riven to acts fe ime and into < ned misanthro- ' ir. 8 fatalist, yetever bleeding from ae ) bumself an ent of aed at by ition hereafter. I'he imagination could not well | conceive a subject more deeply interesting and more werfully affecting to the mind than the career of a ing 80 noble, so highly gifted, so wild in his impulses, \ddened by passion, se sunk in guilt, and thus driven i 'e have not time to dwell on the character of the brother Francis, a fiend in human unre- deemed by a single virtue—nor on the loftiness, consta' cy and devotion of Amelia, who loved Charles for bis | virtues, and who loved her evenin his guilt—nor the affecting sorrows of the heart broken father. These, to- gether with the acting of Mr. Anderson will be noticed | in our next. He will give great effect to the character he is to sustain this evening. Bowery Tuxatee.—Mr. Waldron announces his ben- | efit to-night, He offers an excellent bill to his friends.— _ Mr. A. A. Addams plays Hamlet, a part almost his own, his commanding figure giving him advantage over all contemporaries. Vache also returns, after a short ab sence in Boston, to his old quarters, appearing as Polo- nius. The whole play is strongly cast, and the drama- tic spectacle of “Montezuma,” w increases in repu- | tation with every performance, follows. The gorgeous pageantry of this piece has seldom beensurpassed. It | iswell worth seeing. Garenwicn Tueatae.—We are sorry to have to state that this theatre has closed, not only on account of the | loss to the public, but as detrimental to the interests of | the manager, Mr. Freer, who has pursued a course of | liberality and enterprise worthy of better success. In | addition, he has had to contend against obstacles conti- | nually thrown in his way by interestea parties, In any event, we wish Mr. Freer prosperity and better fortune, in whatever path of life he may tread. Bowsny Cincvs.—A very attractive bill is offered at _ the Bowery Amphitheatre this evening. Signor Felix Carlo will make his seventh appearance in this country, and will go through some of his wonderful and amusing harlequin performances. The entertainments offered at this piace of amusement are of a high order, and will | repay a visit from the citizen or stranger. | Tue Acnamna.—Thisfadmirably managed resert,from the admirable manner in which it is conducted, seems togrow in favor with the public. A.great variety of , ‘amusement is offered, of which vocal and instrumental | music, beautiful illusions by a lady magician, ventrilo- | | quiem, and, dancing, form a part. “The musical depart ment is under the direction of Mr. George Loder, whose | name is the best guaranty of its excellence.

It appears that her husband, Mr Ry- land, has been in ill health for some time past, and his family physician, Dr. McCready, ‘him to take 20 drops of morphine; he did so as on Saturday evening, when shortly afterwards the deceased being troubled with the tooth ache and otherwise rather indie sed, procured the vial of morphine and took quite a large dose; and on telling her husband, he remarked that she had taken too much; she said no, that she did not be lieve she had taken more than he had. Mr. Ryland soon afterwards retired to bed, and the deceased followed shortly after. On Mr. Ryland’s getting up the following morning, he spoke to his wife, thinkidg she was sti asleep, and finding she did not answer, took hold of her hand, when to his horror he dicovered she wes cold and dead. The jury rendered a verdict that the deceased came to her death by the effects of an over dose of mor- phine and the previ deranged state of her system. ——<—$<=—=——> Police inielingenee.

In the streot the rate of interest ranges from seventotwelve per cent per annum. Nothing but the very best paper will be taken by the banks; and those holding paper which does not come under that head, have to shin round Wall street fora shave. The rates out of doors depend upon the quality of the signature and the neces: ity of the holder. The banks have, for the past six months, confined themselves more closely to their legitimate business than we have before noticed for years, and we trust it will be a long time before they depart from the course they are now pursuing. None butatock speculetors can object to the present policy of our banking institutions; and the cause of complaint on the part of that class, is the restrictions upon their pecu- liar business. So long asthe banks confine themselves to legitimate operations, so long can we depend upon business being confined to its legitimate channels. Stocks, during the past week, have very quiet, and quotations remain without any material alteration. It is impossible to get up any extensive sreculative move- ment, and the brokers ha’ ¢ whole business among themselves. The outsiders are shy, andare not to ve drawn in so easily as they heretofore have been. Many of the fancy stocks used ia Wall steget for speculation, are very low, compared with previous prices; but many are still very high, when we take into consideration their value. The railroad stocks, particularly, rule very low, not only so far as regards their actual value, but com- pared with prices which have ruled within the past two years. We do net, however, look for any immediate improvement in prices, no matter what may be the im- provement in them as investments. There is not a rail- road stock in the country but that will be,in a few years, more valuable than at present. The good will be better, and the bad willbe good. The business on every one in operation will continue to increase every year; and those now paying dividends will annually increase them; and those which are now non-paying investments, will in a short time be productive. These works are so intimately connected with the progress of the country that they must advance together. Prices for fancy stocks, in Wall street, have very little to do with the real interests of the country. They are beyond being affected by the movements ef any clique of stock speculators, Tho masses are in an exceedingly prosperous condition, and the country is rapidly pro- gressing in every thing tending to greatness. We see nothing in the perspective calculated to check this pro- gress, as every thing is established upon a healthy ba- sis, which will require several years of the most reck- less and desperate speculation to remove erdestroy.

Inpran_ Massacre.—The following is the sub- stance of a letter, says the Van Buren Jntellig -ncer of the 3d inst., of a late date, to the editors, from a friend at Fort Washita ; the letter itself being accidentally mis- placed, we rely upon our memory for the faets, which are as follows :— “That Col. A. M. Upshaw, the Chickasaw agent, sent outtwo friendly Delaware Indians to the Witchetaw village to ascertain if some horses, that were lately stolen from the neighborhood of Fort Washita, were not in the possession of that tribe. The Dolawai on their w: out, met with no Indians, but saw large, fresh trails, which satisfied them a considerable number of Indians had lately been in that neighborhood.

The Deli fearing to remain, left ina short time, tra’ as they could; and on their route towards home, met a small party of Witchetaws that had been out huating, to whom they told what they had seen, and thi it once said that their tribe had been attacked by the or Pawnee Mahas, and murdered hi wards their village, Mag. to follow t! if possible, release any prisoners yet alive. ‘he writer thinks there is little doubt but that nearly around Fort Washita may horseback, which the thieving propensities of these In- dians rendered were enone as they frequently came in i soe every horse they could lay their hands on N.O. ite A Mr. Wise, of Lancaster, Penn., has invented ama chine by which Vera Cruz may be captured—in theory.

So far as the new tariff is concerned, its reduc. tion amounts te nothing, as regards any thing connected with our foreign or domestic trade. If it does not pro- duce revenue enough, the government must raise funds in some other Wway; and if it does, the consuming classes will receive the benefit of it. So far as the single a'ticle of coal is concerned, the poorer classes will be very much benefitted by the operation of the new tariff. At this season of the this is a very important item, and every family in this and other large cities, is deeply interested in it. Coal is already much higher than it was this time last year; and from the extent of our sup- ply of domestic coal, it would be much higher before the winter had passed away, if the supply of foreign coal coming in under the new tariff was not likely to be large. Very lerge quantities of coal from Nova Scotia are daily arriving and going into bond, for entry efter the Ist of December, underthe new act. This coal will come into competition with the anthracite, and tend to reduce prices for all descriptions very materially. The supply of coal from our own mines, has not been affact- ed in any way by the contemplated changes in our tariff. The different modes in operation for conveying coal to market, have this year been actively employed, and have in every instance in- creased their business compared with last, but the Schuylkill Canal Company have not had their works in operation, and the supply from those regions has not been so large this season, compared with the same peri- od last. There has not, therefore, been in the aggregate such an increase in the receipts as tho increasing de. mand for consumption requires. The amount of coal shipped by the Lenigh Canal dur- ing the week ending October 20th, nd since the open ing of navigation, has been as follows :— Lonicn Coat Trane This week.
