NEW YORK HERALD. ™ New York, Friday, December i, 1846. The Weekly Herald, “The Weekly, Herald this week will be one of the | most valuable and interesting sheets we ever is- sued. It will contain the foreign news received by the steamer Caledonia at Boston, with full accounts | of the Finglish markets—the message of President | Pelk—full accounts of the opening of Congress— | late news from the Army and Navy—besides com- mercial, political, financial, and miscellaneous intelligence of great interest. It will be illustrated with an accurate engraving of the remains of the steamer Atlantic, copied from a daguerretoype sketch. It will be ready at 8 o’clock to-morrow morning. Price 6} cents. ‘The Fanatics and the War—Folly and Fou- rierism. it appears by our telegraphic report of the pro- ceedings in Congress, in yesterday’s paper, that before the ink with which Mr. Polk’s Message was written, was dry, some of the whig leaders commenced opposing the administration, and the conduct of the executive in the Mexican war. We expected some outbursts of fanaticism during the present session, but we must confess that we did not look for any exhibition of it so early, and cannot divine what the intentions of Messrs.

As is their wont, the writers in these papers indulge in the vilest slander towards our country, and although their readers must be possessed of sto- the foul aspersions, exaggerated statements, and | malignant and malicious falsehoods which they contain, we see that they continue to retail them daily to their patrons, without any appearance of | the market being glutted. | Not many years since we were comparatively | unknown to the majority of the English people.

At that time the press was silent about us. We might have been a very good sort of people, although we were Yankees ; our institu- tions might have been very good for the short time they wonld last ; our republican predelec- tions would be amply gratified after a few years, and then, forsooth, we would beg for a restora- tion of the connection with the mother country, which our rebellious fathers severed with the sword, and would be willing to surrender up that tained by the sword. We were hardly worth noticing then. But mean to throw all the obstacles they can inthe way of the President, in his endeavors to conduct the war to an honorable close, and conquer a | peace as speedily as he can.

Are we to follow the fanatics and continue to be spit upon by another nation, because the administration who have the management of the war, and who are doing their duty, are democrats or locofocos | or huge paws? The conduct of the fanatics and their Fouriente © gan, cannot be too strongly deprecated, and those who talk of impeaching the Executive, for doing what his oath of office required, and the laws of nations expressly provided for, in estab- \ching governments over conquered territories, will find that they are committing politica s cide in their vain attempts to impede the Presi- dent in his patriotic endeavors to obtain an honor- able and speedy peace, as well as indemnity for the expenses we have unjustly been put to in ob- taining it. Oh, whigs, whigs! do get some common sense. Borrow, beg, or steal some ; at any rate get some. Mountry Man ror Mexico.—Among the esti- mates submitted te Congress for carrying on the war with Mexico, witha view of speedily con- quering @ peace, we perceive one for two thon- sand mounted men. We think this very judi- cious, for it is apparent that the government can- not get on without this description of force. We hope Secretary Marcy will not overlook the fine regiments of mounted men now ready for service in this city, under the command of Col. William H. Daff. This regiment is composed of the right sort of men, and if called into service, would reflect credit on their own State, and aid materially in carrying out the operations of the war. Their officers are all men of talent and abi- lity, and the men are taken from the flower of our youth. Colonel Duff himself is a tower of | strength. He stands six feet six inohes, in his stockings, and possesses an eye, the flashes of which would seatter a regiment from Monterey to the capital. It is now some time since this regiment was or ganised, and they have since kept up their organ- ixation at great expense, daily expecting to be | called into service. We repeat our hope that Secretary Marcy will shortly avail himself of the liberal offer they have made—to march to any part of Mexico or California, serve during the war, and after peace is acquired, retain military possession of the country, without any expense to the government. News rrom GuatamaLa.—From our correspen- dent at Belize, Honduras, we have files of the Guatamala Gaceta Oficial to the 28th September, but we find in them nothing of peculiar interest.

We guaranty to all who will listen to their perform- | ances, both tal and vocal, a treat such as is rarely to be e1 ed. The singing of little Anne Maria is as nightings as the human voice can be, and her piano playing is delightful; and the Masters Bullock and Cole are, each in his par’, always excellent.— | Wesincerely hope for. wa we an audience 2 i a yr than any which previously attended their en- | ter nts in our sister city. | Samurt Lover.—The .calamity which has fallen so | suddenly, and aflictingly upon the domestic happiness | of the distinguished poet and author whose name stands | at the head of this article, is almost too delicate a sub - ect for newspaper remark; but havi jousiy chro. nicled, with pleasure, his w Lob | Aliction hey Wag has s0 ‘e sincere); that time may remove the cloud that now hangs over & where all would wish to see joy and lightness.

In order to over come this difficulty, the directors have loaned this con : cern funds, by way of giving it the means of fulfilling its contracts, but reserving the right to take stock in the company to the amount of the loan, if it shall hereafter be determined to do so. This operation is certainly an illegitimate one,and exhibits a speculative spirit, calouls- ted to destroy public confidence in the work, and in the present board of directors. If this loan has been made by the members of the board, on their individual ac- count, it constitutes them parties in interest to the contract for finishing the irom.
