NEW YORK HERALD, Ne D ber 27, 1846, , Sunday Goverament—An Extra of Congress, three weeks in session, has been made to- F the important measures for carrying on the government and 8 which we are s rounded, i dt in the position we oceupy in relation to our affairs with Mexico.— We cannot expect any thing will be done until after the Nolidays, at least, and there is very little so nece rem probability of any thing being done in a hurry, at- ter that time. Congress will meet after new year’s, on Monday, anuary, which will give but to short months for the nceomplishment | of whatever is ;eally necessary to keep the wheels of the governme n motion; and those acquaint- : movements of legislative bodies ge- neérally, can form a pretty correct opixion of what will be the resutt of the present session. According to the usval course of the times, nine months must elapse after the expiration of the pres: ion, before another would be con- tnd it is very important that such mea- adopted as will meet any contingency or any emergency the government may experience. There is at present very little donbt but that we shall be compelled to push hostilities to the ex- It is very generally conceded that the ver sures bi treme. only way to obtain a permanent peace, is to push forward an army, or armies, to the capital and foree the government of Mexico, if our commis- sioners can find any government to negotiate with, to any terms we may chooze to dictate. We have no confidence in any other mode of set- our difficulties honorably and permanently. Santa Anna may be more favorably disposed towards this country than any other Mexican leader, and if he was at liberty and had the power to act and carry out his own policy, itis possible that he might bring about a cessation of hostilities at once, but we must bear in mind that Santa Anna is pot strongly enough established to attempt to carry out cr put into operation his own plans, whatever they may be. The people are so sus- picious of him, that it is with the greatest difli- culty he can even maintain his position at the heal of the army, while he is apparently making every effort to defeat the enemies of his country. There are as many parties and as many leaders in Mexico as ever, and it is our firm be- lief that Santa Anna wili not make the first move- ment, endangering his popularity in the slighte st degree, in tha face of those who would seize upon the merest trifle to hurl him from power, and as- ' sume the reins of government. The prejudices of the Mexican people are. very numerous and very strong, and whoever wishes to remain in power, must pander to these prejudices, how- ever opposed he may, as an_ individual, be to them. We have no faith in Santa Anna, or any other Mexican leader, principally upon this ground, | and we overnment will not trust them inany way. We can obtain nothing from Mexi- co by negotiation, unless the commissioners have at their back an army large enough to command what they are disposed to take; and a vigorous Prosecution of hostilities, or immediate attacks upon the most vital pots, even upon the capital itself, if necessary, is the only sure method of ob- taining satisfactory redress for the innumerable | wrongs we ® so patiently endured. Congress Youst, therefore, perfect such mea- sures as may be deemed necessary to carry out essfally, such a course as will produce the de- ed result. If the few remaining weeks of the pre- sent session are frittered away in idle debate, which looks very probable, an extra session will be found necessary, and every member of the eratic party now at Washington, knows well enough the effect of any extra session of Con- gress. One extra session is enough to ruin any party. ‘The political complexion of the govern- ment has, within the tten years, been twice changed by them, and it would be well for the administration to beware of a third. Avoid an extra session of Congress as you would the yellow fever. Gov. Y AND THE ANri-RentERs.—It is well known throughout the State, that gne of the or- gans of the whig party in this city, opposed the election of John Young, the whig candidate for governor, at the last general election, in conse- quence of his anti-rent principles and predilec- tions. The journal in question did not hesitate to charge Mr. Young with having promised the anti-renters that he would pardon those of their party who are now inthe State prison, for the shooting of Sheriff Steele, in Delaware county, if they would throw into the scale the whole of their influence, and if he should be elected governor. This charge was denied at the time it was made, burstill the paper in question refused to support Mr. Young. Within a few days it repeated it, and declared that a written pledge was given to that effect by Ira Harris, Esq , on the part of Mr. Young, im- mediately previous to the election. We have no interest in this matter, one way or the other; but, as an independent journalist, we consider it our duty to give a true statement of the whole affair. Our Albany correspondent, in his letter in yes- terday’s Herald, did this. He has it from Mr, Harris himself, who all will admit to be the best authority in the case, that no pledge was ever re- ceived by him—that no letter was ever written by Governor Young containing any promises of the nature charged against Lim. We are informed, however, that Gov. Young has resolved to pardon these convicts soon after his inauguration ; and if he do so, the union between the whigs and the anti-renters will be cemented. This will be an important accession to the whig strength, and if they can only obtain the sixteen thousand abolition votes that their organ in this city has been fishing for so long,they will acquire influence enough to keep the Empire State in their control for an indefinite period of tine, more or less. 1 den Tue Rarroan ro rie Paciric.—The citizens of Philadelphia bave commenced agitating the necessity of having a railroad to the Pacific con- structed as soon as possible. On the 28d inst., they held a large meeting at the Chinese Museum, at which the mayor pre- sided, and a number of the most respectable and influential people acted as vice presidents. The meeting was addressed by Asa Whitney, Josiah Randall, Peter A Brown, Eeqs., andothers. Mr. Whitney exhibited bis plans in a speech of great clearn ‘ss and avility, and showed the benefi sthay would accrue from the undertaking. Appropriate resolutions were adopted, and the moeting adjourned. Srecrat Desratonrs rrom tug Pactric.—We Stated the other day that Messrs. Oakley and Knight had arrived in the Norma from the Pacific, having come overland across the Isthmus and to Hava Jt was stated at the same time that Mr J. P. Norris, not Morris, with Mid Jackson, had reached Panama. We now learn that the latter gentleman crossed the Isthmus in company with Messrs, Oakley and Knight, and that they sepa rated at Havana, the latter coming in the Norma, and Messrs. Norris and Jackson proceeding in the brig Catharine, which left Havana on the 9h inst., for New Orleans. Thence they would go to Washington. Mutrrany Movements.—Major Generali Gaines, who has been at Washington for some weeks ast, returned last night to the Astor House, and resumes his command of the district.

Rosenberg had likewise constructed. a distribut- ing apparatus, which was found so far behind the distributing by hand, that it was never used. | Till now, thes, the inventions of Kliegel, Menkh, | Young, Deleambres, Rosenberg and Chaix, who all constructed type-setting or distributing chines, have been found useless. There is ano- ther setting machine in existence, much superior | to ali others, which has not yet found practical | application for the above stated reason, that if | 100,000 types shail be extracted from it, they must | first be stuck into it with the same labor and time | as will set them up without the machine. But | the ingenious inventors are still in hopes of achiev. | mprovement in their machines, | Tue Late Gat Barroughs, supe We are informed by Mr. go, that the brig Virginia, | eighty-six days from Montevideo, was within fifty miles of Sandy Hook, ten days since, when she encountered a bhurricane from the northeast, which drove her back to sea. The crew manfully battled with the raging ele- ments, but were eventually exhausted, both in strength and spirits, and were compelled to va- cate the decks,—leaving the sails flying in rib- bons. Fortunately the Virginia was perfectly tight, and was enabled to weather the storm, although the sea made continual breaches over her. The V. was kindly supplied with many neces- saries on Thursday last, by the schooner Eman- uel, of Marblehead, when within 120 miles of | Marblehead. Mc. Burroughs represents the sea to be literally covered by pieces of wrecks and spars, thus show- ing that this gale was much more injurious in its | effects than had been previously anticipated. | Up to the time of the sailing of the Virginia , there had been seventy-six vessels wrecked on the coast of Patagonia, and the V. was only saved : by shipping her chains, and running into Monte- video, where she received every assistance from the U. 8. consul, Hon. K. M. Hamilten. On her passage home, the Virginia had the misfortune to lose four of her men by scurvy. Rumorep Wreck or Sreamer Monecan. —It was rumored last evening, that this steamer was wrecked in coming through the Sound, and all the passengers were saved. Up to a late hour last night, we were unable to discover any reasonable grounds to suppose this to be the case. Adams & Co.’s express, via New Haven, to whom we are indebted for Bostun pa- pers in advance of the mail, arrived here at half past 9 o'clock, had no knowledge of it, and saw nothing of her on their way here. So the proba. bility is, there is no truth in the rumor. ‘Theatricals. Pank Turatar.—The danseuses Viennoise appeared again last evening in four divertisements, andit really ap pears as if the New York public never could get enough | ot them. Notwithstanding that they have beenon the Park boards for three weeks, their appearance every | night is greeted with tremendous applause, and their performances are as regularly encored as if they were | the most perfect strangers in our cijy. The “Pas de Sty- rien” gave so much satisfaction last evening that they | were obliged to repeat it. While recording this in favor | of these little dancers, we question the propriety or fair- | ness of calling them’ out, when the audience were they had ‘to appear afterwards in two divertisements. ‘Their performances are truly wonderful, as they aro interesting: ond it is a suf- | ficient tax on them to perform the parts allotted to them in the bill for the evening, without being obliged to re- peatany one We understand that an enti performances will take place on Monday ing, that the Viennoise danseuses will perform a pas which | they have not yet appeared in. | Bowery THeatre.—" Mazeppa” was again produced at this popular theatre last evening, before a full and crowded house.

In accordance with a call fora meeting to be held at ‘Tammany Hall, on Saturday evening, for the purpose of receiving contributigns, to be sent to Ireland for the pur- pose of aiding in the relief of the starving poor of that country, the Hall was pretty well filled at an early hour. It was moved by Mr. Boyle and seconded by Alder ‘man Gilmartin, that Mayer Mickle take the chair. The motion wi rried, and the Mayor took the place thus assigned to him. Mr. E D Cor ny moved that the following gentle- men actos Vic ents, viz :—Robert Hogan, Robert Emmet, Jacob Hi y, David Graham, Jas. T. Brady, John McKeon. Ald. Gilmartin, Horace Greeley, Peter McLaughlin, Riehard M. Hoe. Felix faselishy, John R. Callan, Patrick McBarron, Elijah F. Purd: 10%. Boyle, Bernard Hannegan, Andrew Jackman, Ald. Walsh, John Egan, Patrick McCoehill, James Kean, Andrew Kerra- gan. ‘The motion prevailed. On motion, the following gentlemen were arcane secretaries :—Bartholomew O'Conner, Edward D. Con- nory and Peter E P tterson. - The call for tho meeting was next read ; after which, Mr. Connery, one of the secretaries, was called upon erie ye the meeting. He stated to those present, | at he had thought the eminent men invited would have been present to address the meeting, but he should be a bad Irishman, if he failed to come for ‘on this occa- sion to raise his voice in such a ct that for which they were mbled. He allude: the faithfulness with which men labor to obtain place and offi nd thet at the expense of an immense outlay of mousy, hich would, if right! , greatly alleviate the gufferings of the miserable. ‘principle was exemplified, he said, in the conduct of the British government towards the Irish people, who are to be found in this and every other coun- try. You can.caid he, find Irishmen in every quarter of the you may hear the sound of the Iristman sare i "at, their trees and letting in for time, in phe. NM the first light upon their hitherto unbroken shade, travel over this country and you will find the result of their labors in the railroads and canals which have been constructed by them. They are to be found upon the bench and in legislative halle. Mr. C. also alluded in high terms of commendation, to the illus- trious Dillon, and others, who gained military renown upon European battle-fields, end to Montgomery, Sulli- van and their countrymen. who offered oe their blood as | ‘a libation upon the altar of freedom. And is it not cruel, | my friends, he asked, that the British government should — 0 treat, as they do, the Irish All the misfor- tunes which have visited Irela: ult from the union; for previous to that union, prosperity, peace and plenty | were to be found among the people of that country, ag — riculture flonrished, and her own nobles, called the | lords of Ireland, were to be seen passing through the country givin, employment to citizens and labor. ers, aud ‘onabling thor to support their families in respectabili comfort. The manufacturing towns were prosperous, ond their inhabitants, of course, hoppy eir prosperity. Those days, my frieuda, have pass- i | edby, and another state of things exists; the British emissaries have passed through the country and incited the people to anarchy. But to come more close to the subject which calls us together to-night, we are as. sembled to reflect upon the present condition of that country, where may be seen the gaunt, spectral figure of the once athletic man, reduced to his melancholy con- dition by want and famine. This thought ought to stimu- late te immediate action—whatever was to be done ought to be done rpeedily. Jersey city, said Mr. C., has given $900, and this amount, it is expected, will be increased to $1,000. Shall it be that the principal city of the Empire Sta! behind other city? Heconcluded by inviting every ono present to come forward when the subscription should be opened, and contribute what could, end when gray hairs should beckon him to grave, he could look Sack with satisfaction upon the act. Mr. Honace Greexey next arose in compliancé with the call of the assemblage and addressed them on the distress at present prevailing in Ireland, and said that the it consideration wich forced itself upon our minds when considering “the misfortunes which ha overtaken our brethren acrossjthe water,” must be, “ little we can do for them ;”” if wo d we can, how | many will starve before our aid can reach them! Some would say there are thousands suffering around us, and | s0 there are ; but he thought that the very act of giving | would bring out sympathies and arouse others to benev- olent action, and that so our own poor would be benefited by this very meeting; it would arouse a spirit of emula- tion in the country to which the amounts subscribed were to be sent, and entice those across the Atlantic who able to give, but who have not heretofore seen the rit of benevolence aroused here; they would be them- | selves awakened to like action, and, besides, the benefit | was not confined alone to those who are to receive, those who giyaarealso benefited. The money necessary | to relieve the wants of the poor must, as it does alw: mostly come from the comparatively poor thomselv: the rich are unfeeling; we must, Mr. G. intimated, ad- dress their pride. If we give largely, there are those | who will be ashamed that the wants of the Irish | have been relieved by Irishmen in a foreign aeeicg: The time had cot he said, when our great men here and in.Europe must Jook pauperism inthe face. He call- ed upon every man to come forward and contribute | what he could. “ | Before proceeding to the grand businéss for which the | meting, was called, the secretary read the following .re- | solutions :— Resolved, That his honor Mayor Mickle act ss tres- | surer, and that the money collected be remitted by him is excelloncy the Lord Licutenant of Ireland, with a request that he institute an inquiry into the really desti- | tute districts of that country, and that he dispense the | money sent, among none but those he finds to be real ob- | jects of charity.

A brilliant | audience attended his concert last evening, and a brilliant triumph was the result.

Though, of course, tastes will differ, and some be pleased with | one, and others with another of his compoaitions ; to our mind, the first piece, a new grand concerto, per- | formed by the great artiste, was the most transcendantly | exquisite of allthat we have yet heard from him. Its | adagio religioso was pensive, even to melancholy ; its | rondo, fanciful, and replete with an ever changing sprightlivess; atone moment the notes rich, full, and | lond, as though from an Eolian harp, with its chords | swept by the storm’ king; ond then low, tune- ful, plaintive as the last dallying of a summer breeze, breathing and dying under his touch — We have heard great masters before, and have been for the time fascinated with harmonic crea- tions, but while some compelled and others persua ded the deity of sweet powers to answer to thoir call, round the fingers ot Henri Herz they seem to laugh and play with» joyousness unrestrained.

INTELLGENCE FROM Turks Istanp.—We have | received the Turks Island Gazette, published at Grand Cay, to the Istinst. We find in it an in- teresting article, of some importance to our mer- chants. . This we annex :— [From the Turks Island Gazette, Dec. 1.] i « The loss of the brig St. Marks on ‘Thursday night, rings to mind the stroug emergency existing for a light house on this Cay, not only to prevent the shipwreck of vessels hound through this frequ ted passage, but alro | for the safety of euch as are bound te these islands in quest of salt. Itis a matter of no small surprise to all porsons among us, who five such things a thought, that | these great commercial thoroughfares—Turks Island | and Square Handkerchief passages, and we may include the route to the Caicos—should be so long without the almost incalculable benefit of a light peak) Cay, to guard the mariner against dangers from which very of- | ten, inthe absence of a Hight, no prudence will save | him. To the commercial interest of the United States, | the subject is of very great importance, as the majority | of vessels coming hither, ll as those going through, | belong to that republic. We presume that if that coun- try were to apply to our gove: pxesise here, if not gran ing erected by the British go wasthecase when the United Sta mission to erect alight at the Hole in the Wall. { have been rightly informed, the Trinity Board in Eng land negatived the proposition to continue the light, which was temporarily got up here for the imme: ate advantage of the royal mail steam ships, during the short period of their teking this as one of their sto; ping places,on the plea that it would not answer to have hborhood: but this rea. | son was indeed a strange one, when it is considered that | the nearest passage light in the colony is at the Hole in | the Wall, at a distance of four or five hundred miles to leeward. Within the last ten months, the following ves. | sels have been wrecked on the reefs to windward of the Grand Turk:,brigs Wampanoag of New York, Laurel of | Portland, Madrid of Philadelphia, and the St. Marks of | Boston. Besides these, many of the shipwrecks onthe | North and East Caicos, would not occur were a light | erected here; the recent loss of the fine American | schooner Sidney, Capt. Lane, on the Eatt Caicos, was solely attributable to her passing this island at night, | where she was bound, without be! le to discover it. | We believe that Captain Barnet, of H.M. surveying ship | Thunder, has recently represented to the Admiralty the pd ai of having a light on this Cay, an excellent | reliminary to those who are disposed to follow it up. ‘o the American underwriters we would earnestly re- commend the subject for consideration.

So it is plainly evident, that we suffer a three-fold injury by wrecks, Ist. as to com- and, as to revenue, and last, though not Jeast, as to the morslity of our people.

D., Professor in the New York University, Department of Medicine. | For the last few years the students in the medizal de- | partment of the University have been in the habit of pro- | curing the publication of some of the introiuctory lec- | tunps, that are delivered at the commencement of each | session by the various professors of the different branches. Ata general meeting of the class, on the 6th November last, a committee was appointed to solicit, at the hands of the several professors, a copy of these lec. ; and in accordance with that re- quest, three of them were granted, viz: The Lectures delivered by the Professors of O>stetrics, Chemistry, and the Theory and Practice of Medicine. Asa proof of the great and deserved popularity of this school, we may | mention, that the committee appointed to make this re- { quest, included gentlemen from twenty-three States of the Union, besides others from Canado, Ireland and | South America. Among the States thus represented are some of the most distant ones, such as Arkansas, Flori- da, Louiziana, Texas, &c. This shows, inan ominentde- roe, how widely ond favorably the institution is known. ut our present purpose is to speak of the Lecture on Obetie Whole rage gf dibesbes Ware ip probably’ io ole 5 iy infers Sjeot than tho diseases to which the female system is peculiarly incident; and none, porhops, to which, until the present time, less justice has been done. The period, however, has now passed a when these diseases are to be looked on ns mere trivieli- ties, below the consideration of scientific enquiry, and | the sufforing female is no longer condemned to undergo | the haphazard und ignorant treatment which she former- minds of the highest order have con- centrated their a'tention to the investigation of her pe- culiar diseases, and the consequence is, that they are treated with great acces | In this introductory lecture, Professor Bedford has | very ably pointed out the importance of his branch, and | also somo of the difficulties attending the practical pur- suit of it. And we do not know that we can better illus- | trate them, than by giving the following extract :— “The maladies peculiar to females, from their very na- ture, lead to a vast deal of embarrassment on the part of the practitioner. It is too of the case that his opinion is not requested until serious, if not fatal, progress haa been made in the dis . The delicacy of the female ry naturally urges her to a concealment of her suffer- 3; until finally bodily torture, which she is no longer able to endure in silence, compels her to invoke profes. | sional counsel. But alas! how often does it happen tuat, under such circumstances, the physician is forced to the acknowledgment that the disoase is beyond the efficacy of medicine, and his duties limited to the palliation of resent suffering! Again. the practitioner will be sent for; the patient is unwilling to communicate freely with him in reference to her situation; she contents herself | with stating that her health is infirm, that she is trot bled more or less with pain in her back, and is anxiot to receive from the doctor some strengthening medici This is but too generally the substance of the conversa- tion between the patient and physician, and henee it is not surprising that public confidence should be some- what shaken In the efficacy of our art; and that people, sensible on all other subjects, should thoughtlessly com- mit their health and lives to nostrum venders, reck: | les: pirica”’. | undoubtedly, is the true roason that we see £0 trash publicly advertised under the head of &e. kc. Alas, alas! were a somewhat betas ace ledge of physiology, and the laws which | e Almighty lait down for the governance of these | our earthly tabernacles spread among our fair country- women, how much and sufferi ry teed they not | avoid.

Nor is this want ef knowledge the only source from whence these evils arise; there is another cause at | work, and though no rational mancan suppose that the | whole mechanism of our present social condition can be remodelled, yet we cannot help according with the sentiments expressed 1m the following extract, and we | jive it in the hope, that it may perhaps awaken the | je of some mothers who are at present neglecting | their most ii fant duties. ou, wi taste or preference may lead to | ‘a special study of the diseases of women, wiil discover | that they are numerous, | they produce not only great phy: distress, but often | Bring sorrow to the domestic hearth.
