NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Thursday, November 12, 1846. THE HERALD FOR EUROPE, AND THE ENGLISH MAILS. The Heruld f.r Europe, with its usual digest of all the commercial, political, army, navy, and miriiime news up to the last hour, will be in rea- diness, and may be obtained at our office, on Sunday ext, at 12 o’clock, in time tor the mail train for Boston. We learn that for the transmission of the mail to Europe by the Britannia, and for the accom- modation of passengers who may not arrive, or be delayed in the city till Sunday, an express train will be despatched ut 2{ PM on that day for Boston, over the Long Isiand, and Norwich and Worcester Railroads. Passengrs arriving from the South by the Philadelphia mail train, wiil, by proceeding directly tothe Brooklyn sta- | on, be in time for the cars. This is an excellent arrangement. The Ocean Steamers, The Great Western will be due at this port on Sunday or Monday next, if she left Liverpool on her regular day, the Sst ult. The Acadia is out eight days, and will be due at Boston in about a week. Their news will be looked for with gome inter | est by commercial men. Will the wires of the | Boston telegraph be cut on the arrival of the | Acadial Those at the south and north had bet- ler see that their wires are not cut on the arrival of the Great Western. The speculators are on the alert. View of Monterey. | We giveon the outside of this day’s Herald, a | view of the City of Monterey. Our artist bas copied from the New Orleans De’tz, but we have been under the necessity of improving the picture alitde. This, however, will be excused. The next Preside: cy—The Feuds in the De- mocratio Party. We have endeavored, in former “show cau articles, to ” for the extraordinary revolution in public sentiment now sweeping over the eoun- try from north to south, and from east to west, and making itself manifestin an apparent over- whelming overthrow of the democratic party — Bat there are other local and minnte causes, in addition te those we have hitherto mentioned, which have contributed to that overthrow— streams which, while the surface of the political current flows smooth, and to all appearance un- roffird, run in contrary directions belov—wheels within wheels, the machinery of which works in- visible to the public ken, but nevertheless gives | aim, direction and effect to the workings of thet mighty engine—popular will. | The prospects of the democratic party are at present by no means couleur de rose. They have, for the next Presidential campaign, a number-of candidates who will not yield their individual claims, and whose friends and partisans are fierce in their determination to oppose the nomination or election of any other than the manof their | choice. The party is moreover divided, the West | against the South, and the breach between these two sections is growing wider every year. Strange ta say, the Southern portion of the democracy has, within a year, become conservative, because ourstripped in hot progressive ardor by the West. The democracy of the Eastern and middle States | have become impassive and lukewarm, manifest- ing little interest in the fate of party, except for individual aggrandizement. Some of the hidden causes of the present revo- tution, to which we have alluded, are to be traced back to the last Baltimore con- vention. That assembly was composed of very discordant elements. There were Cal- houn men, and Van Buren men, and ‘Wright men, and Cass men. The friends of Van Buren had a majority in the convention, but were defeated by the pressure of the two-thirds nile. Their most strenuous opponents were the friends of General Cass. The natural conse- quence was, that the latter, in their turn, were defeated by the opposition ef the Van Buren par- ty. The friends of Mr. Calhoun were weak, and he was consequently thrown overboard. The | prochinent candidates being thus ho s de combut, the choice of the convention fell upon Mr. Polk, a men entirely unconnected wih any of the anta- gouistic sections of the par*y,and consequently not obnoxious toany. The result, as far as Mr. Folk is conoerned, is known. But from that day | forward, the friends of General Cass have | awaited an opportunity to wreak their vengeance on the Van Buren party. The | recent election in this State was the first that | Offered. That they did not neglect it, the defeat of Silas Wright is a convincing proof. They would have been satistied if Wright had failed in his election by a few votes. Even his election by a meagre majority would have served their purpose, which was to shelve him, by show- ing that he was incapable of bringing out the strength of the party in his own State. But they did not count upon other causes tending to pro- duce the same effect, though to a much greater extent than they anticipated, or even desired. On the other hand, the Van Baren men have | not been idle. Their influence has not been want- | ing to give the whigsa preponderance in Michi- | gan, in order to show how trifling is the influence of Gen. Cass in his own State, and thus to destroy his chances, in return for the opposition of his friends to Mr. Van Buren at the Baltimore Convention. Their efforts have been crowned with complete success ; 80 that like the two valer- | ous Kilkenny cats renowned in story, these two | opposing forces have contrived to virtually anni- hilate each other, leaving but a minute portion of | their respective caudal extremities as mementees | of the sad catastrophe. } But both parties now find that this warfare has | been carried too far. They wished to do all pos- sible injury to each other, but they have, in effect, | brought down the pillars of the temple on their | own heads, and have carried destruction into the | ranks of their own party. Like the magician’s luckiess pupil, mentioned in German story, thay | have evoked a legion of watery spirits which they | cannot lay, and which now threaten to over- whelm them. They have endeavored in vain to | undo the mischief they have Produced, and it will require the voice of a master-spirit to command the threatening flood of adverse popular opinion to subside. It is evident that to give the democratic party | even partial chances of sucess in the next Presi- | dential election, tremendous re-action must take | piace in popular sentiment. The democracy is now } in the crisis of disaster, and an ugly and danger- | ous crisis it is. Some man must be chosen who is above reproach, has rendered distinguished service to the eountry, can enlist the feelings of the masses in his behalf, is deeply imbued with democratic principles though not a bigot, and above all, who is not entangled in the meshes of sectional antagonism. Such a man, neither too progressive nor too stationary, of views | "9 comprehensive as to take in the inte- rests of every section of the Union, and who | with his duty to the coun- try at large—such a man, we say, might succeed in uniting the scattered forces of the democratic party, and leading them to victory in 1848. Can | tach aman be found? Mr. Polk has declined a re-election. The friends of Mr. Wright and Gen. (ars have, as we have shown, mutually, aearly \ | nor the conduct | diten of error. exftnguithed the @hances of both those gentle- men. Who will be the man? The next session of Congress will in some de- | gree clear the political horizon, which is at pre- | | sent obseured with fog and vapour. termination we may be able to predict with some- | Before its what of certainty, who is te be the successor of Mr. Polk. Meanwhile what will the whigs do? Ayti-Rentism—Irs Invygion into THe Wute Party.—The recent political revolution in this State, was as perfect and thorough as we believe it was unexpected by any party. It fell like a thunderbolt into a affagazine’of gunpowder, blow- ing up the entiwe system of party organizations, and scattering fragments and rubbish throughout the whole State. The smoke and excitement cleared away, the number of killed, wounded, and missing ascertained, the atmosphere again clear and the horizon unclouded—the politicai | one, we mean—the survivers rub their eyes, and | endeavor to find the cause of the explosion. | The whigs maintain that it wasa repudiation of the measures carried through Congress las; session, by the dominant party in the national councils, and a condemnation on the general course of the ndministration, including the management of the Mexican war; while the democrats insist, that neither those measures of the administration were at all mixed up in it, that it was one of those hurriganes that occasionally bursts over the poli- tical, as well as the material world, destructive while it lasts, but succeeded by a serene and pure atmosphere, and a bright horizen. We cannot expect impartiality in such matters | from either politicians or their organs. They are the blind leading the blind, and both fall into the For the causes of such political changes, the publ.c must look to unbiassed aud independent men, and their journals, for their irne explanation. We have before given it as our opinion, that the defeat of the democrats in this State, vas brought about by the union formed between the whigs and anti-renters, and by the previously arranged apathy of the anti-Wright demo- erats; but this was, of course, denied by the whigs, because they desired to make capital from it, to bear upon the elections in other States. They wished to make it appear that the election of the whig candidate for gover- nor, was a direct rebuke by the peopl+ of the Em- pire State to the administration at Washington—to bring the dominant party at the capital into dis- repute, and so pave the way for the election of the whig candidate for the presidency in 1848. Weare willing to award them all the glory of their trium»h, but we cannot admit that the election turned on the issues which they insistit did. So far trem th s, we contend that the measures of the last administration, although they certainly had some little influence in the result, were no; the main cause of their triumph. We insist, as we have on a former occasion, | that their union with the anti-renters was the main instrument ef their victory, and we think that the results of this and the preceding gubernatorial election will bear us out. Let us refer to the figures—Silas Wright was elected our last governor by a majority of ten thon- sand over the whig candidate. This year the whig candidate is elected over Silas Wright by ten thousand majority—making a difference of eaactly twenty thousand. This year the anti-rent vote was twenty thousand, according to whig authority, and the whole of it almost was thrown for the whig candidate—making the exact differ- ence we stated, and electing Mr. Young by 10,000. Gardiner, the demooratic candidate for Lieuten- ant Governor likewise received theanti-rent vote, and his majority over the whig candidate forthe same office will be much about the same as Young’s, perhaps more. Can anything be clearer than that the anti-rent vote was the principal eause ofthe whig triumph? We think not. But the whigs say that without the anti-rent vote Mr. Young would have been elected. Be it so, but it would be by the skin of their teeth, and he would not have any 10,000 majority to boast of. Itis apparent, then, from the fact that Young, the whig ca: didate, and Gardiner, the democratie candidate, being elected by the anti-rent vote, that the same vote caused the revolution in the State. Indeed, when the anti-renters made their nominations, they did so with the view of having the Governor and Lieutenant Governor of diffe- rent creeds. The whigs and demoorats may quarrel as much as they please, and may attribute any cause they please to the defeat of the one and the success of the other, but it is the duty of independent jour- nalists to state the true cause of both. This we have done—and we maintain that the union of the whigs with the anti-renters, was the main cause of the triumph of the former in the last election in this State ; although the apathy of the anti-Wright men was a strong element in the victory. ——$—— Stump Nomrnations.—We have heard it stated by many prominent and influential demo P that a re-organisation of their system of nomina- tions is essentially necessary to the integrity of their party, and its success in future elections. | The change which some of them propose is | to give the weople—the voters—more control over the nominees; and the other is to encourage stump candidates—to encourage everyman to | stand for office who considers himself, and is known to be, a competent person to fill the office he aspires to, whether it be one of honor solely, or of profit, or both. That both the whig and democratic parties are corrupt and rotten to the very core in their systems of making nominations, we have always believ- ed and always stated; and we are rejoiced to see our opinion confirmed—even partially, by one of them. We are exceedingly gratified, too, that a remedy is proposed that wi'l have at least some effect in eradicating the evil. We have always desired to see stump candi- dates in the field, and have invariably given them our encouragement and influence, with the belief, that by so doing, we promoted purity in our elections, and detracted somewhat trom the improper influence the jeaders and wire-pullers have so long exercised. So long as parties are controlled by a few leading and designing men, | so long will their nominations be made with a view to theirown personal aggrandisement, with- | out reference to the fitness or purity of the men they desire to be elected. The system of running stump candidates once introduced, would upset ail this influence, and no candidates would present themselves except they were well known to the people, and whose char- acter and reputation would sustain the most searching ordeal. We, therefore, say to the democrats—the progressive portion of them particularly, go ahead with your resolve, and encourage men of standing and character, whether rich or poor, to stand up and stump through our elections. The same advice we ive to the whigs. eli ise; Chen both parle baa mes te pela then, and not till then, wiil we have purity in our elecuons, and pure men elected as our public ser- vants. Coe ae ae Tae Kuvep axp Wovunnen at Monterey.—If the mail arrives from New Orleans, to day, we shall probably receive a complete and accurate list of the killed and wounded at the siege of Monterey, which we shall give in to-morrow’s Herald. News vor THR SrgcuLaTors.—We are happy to inform the speculators, those who despatched the news received by the ‘Britannia by express to Me South, that the Alliance arrived at Charles. ton on the 7th inst., with news from_Liverpool to the Ith uit, Arvarts in Sogra Auttica—By the bark flome, Captain Wingate, we have received ovr | | files of the Jornal do Commercio to the 22d Sept. The British steamer Gorgon, with Mr. Hood @$ passenger, arrived at Rio from Montevideo, onthe 2lst, bringing news tothe 18th inclusive, and confirmatory of that already received here relative to the failure of Mc. Hood in his mission. The Gorgon was to leave Rio for the north, and afterwards convey Mr. Hood to England. A let- | ter in the;Jirnal from Montevideo states that there never had been any real approximation to peace between the contending powers, that neither Rosas nor Oribe desired it, unless coupled with @ complete triumph by one or the other party. In reference to the partto be taken by Brazil, , the editor says:— | _ “England and France having failed, it is now ti for Brazilto act: whether tue two governments r from their position, and give to Rosas the triumph ail should achieve, or decide to terminate the by main force, the latter country should as hts she is entitled to hold.” News had been received from Corrientes of a late date. Governor Madariaga arrived at the port of Alcarez, on the 80th Augnst, where Urquiza awaitedhim. Within twenty-four hours an ami- cable agreement was entered into. O Federal says that Corrientes is again fairly enlisted on the side of Rosas, and that a perfect understanding existed between Rosas, Urquiza, and Madariaga. Sr. D. Francisco Magarinos, Minister Plenipo tentiary of the Oriental Republic to the Court of Brazil, had been appointed Minister to the Court of Madrid, with a special mission to the Cabinets j of St. James and the Tuilleries. Tae Rerrgat or Amrupia to San Luis Po- ost —The latest advices from Monterey contra- dict the rumor that Santa Anna had arrived at | Saltillo. The late accounts state that Ampudia was falling back on San Luis Potosi, there to form a junction with Santa Anna, and to await the approach of our forces, after having destroy- ed the fortifications of Saltillo. We are well pleased with this prudent deter- mination of the Mexican General, as it will pro- bly save the necessity of a battle at the pass of Riconnada, and the unnecessary effusion of blood consequent upon an engagement; and it will, besides, give General Taylor the advantage of a free passage (with the exception, perhaps, ofa little skirmishing) through the most perilous portion of bis route to the capital of Mexico San Luis Potosi will be the grand battle ground of the campaign, and we are glad that General Taylor’s force is not to be needlessly weakened before he arrive there, and that the bones of our brave fellows are not to whiten in the mountain passes of Saltillo. Coon terretr Monzy.—We must again caution the public in relation to the bad money with which | our city seems tobe flooded. The greatest suffer- | ers by it appear to be our musical artists. In the | rush at the doors it has almost been impossible to | inspect every bill, and the Onevaliers d’ Industrie | have hitherto driven a thriving b s. At the last concert given by Mr. Herz, we understand , that over a hundred dollars of this counterfeit money was taken ; and Herr Alexander was also agreat sufferer when giving his entertainments in this city, We are glad to learn that measures | have now been taken to arrest these counter- feitert, and for this purpose the police force is to be increased. | | | Rattroap Accrpent.—We were informed by a gentleman who came over the Norwich and | Worcester Railroad yesterday, that a lad about fourteen years of age had be th his legs taken olf by accidentally falling from the platform under | the cars, as they were leaving one of the stations | on the above line. It was supposed that the ca- | | lamity would cause his death. The Ballet. ‘ Asa separate branch of art, the ballet is beginning to assume a leading position in this country. It hes lately | met with fostering encouragement in all the principal | Cities of the Union, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, | Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, New Orleans, and | other places. | Mlle Blangy who charmed the frequenters of Niblo’s | last season, is about to appear at Palmo’s on Monday | evening next, assisted by M’lle Celeste, M.

Hewat Herz —The fourth concert of this distinguish. od artist will take place at the Tabernacle to-morrow evening, and sttractive as his previous entertainments havo been, this ome will be still more so. Mr. Herz will perform a grand fantasiaona theme from “ Lucrecia Borghia,” brilliant variation on the march in“ Otello,” a duo, “ Dolce Concinto,” performed with Mr. Timm, and by request the overture to ‘ Semiramide,” on eight grand pianos, assisted by fifteen of the most eminent professors in this city. This piece was most rapturously applauded st his lest concert, and we are glad that it is to be re- Peated. Signora Pico, Miss Northall, and Signor De Beg: nis, are also engaged, each of whom can fill the house with their own respective admirers. We understand that M. Herz made efforts to secure the aid of Burko’s servi- ces, but @ previous engegement precluded his attend. ance. We would recommend to all to buy their tickets at the music stores, thus avoiding eny detention at the doors. | New Music—We have several pieces of new music from Vanderbeck’s, 885 Broadway, publishers. Six “ Melodies Nocturnes,” for the guitar, coinposed by M. Ferranti, first ‘ist to the king of the Belgians, we oan cordially recommend from the established reputation | of the composer. There is also a rondino and some “pe- tites jatelles,” for the same instr int, by Philip Ernat, w! compositions are always favorites in th parlor and concert room. ‘The sam two sweet little pieces for the pieno, by Wollenhau; a “Nocturne Sertimentale” ani an “ imprompta | Forme de Valse.” Also, a song, “ Wake, Fairest, wake,” | for two voices, composed by Nicholas Pike.

We refuse to publish it, because we do not wish | to have our paper filled with the “ cards,” pro and con, of artists and those who may happen to be connected with them. We like musical genius, but not “ musical cards.” | Political Intelligence. We hear it stated, but as yet not from official authority that Col. Monroe has received a certificate of election to Congress, from the 6th district in this State. Two or three hundred votes were cast for Daniel 8. Jackson, in- stead of David 8.

It will be perceived that our ex- ports to some of the above conutries fluctuate very much from month to month. Our trade. Great Bri- tain and her dependencies is monthly increasing, and the extent of it, compared with that with other countries, is exhibited in the above table. About oné half of the cy? gregate value of our export from this port goes to Great Britain and her dependencies, and about two-thirls of the aggregate exports of the country go to the same des tinations. This has been the proportion in previous years, when the demand for our domestic produots, was not #0 extensive as it has been this, and a large per cent. of the exports this year to Groat Britain, would be larger than usual, if there had been a fair or an average crop of cotton; and it is possible that the value of eur exports may be even larger than "sual, even with the defisionoy in the quantity of cotten exported.
