4 { HERALD. =W YORK - = v York, Thurstay, February 18, 1847. RRIVAL OF THE CAMBRRIA. Look out for Speculators. ‘e have ascertained, almost to a certainty, wet the speculators in starvation and famine, have arranged several expresses from Halifax to Boston, for the purpose of get:ing the Cambria’s ws, at an expense of five thousand dollars Yo this enterprise they have the assistance of \devil, the patron stint of all speculation in arvation, and by the aid of this gentleman, they nay perhaps succeed in getting the news be- fore the press. We trust, however, that they will be foiled in their endeavois to speculate ncorn in times like these. public against them, and remind our readers that they must not have any dealings with any mys- | terious individuals who may be willing to pur- chase or sell from 6.000 to 10,000 barrels of flour, | or anything else in the provision line. We design this caution for the people of Phi- “adelphia, Baltimore, and other cities South and West, as well as for our own citizens; because the moment the speculators receive the news here, they will send it to these places by telegraph or otherwise The Cambria, if she has not already arrived, isin her fourteenth day. She generally makes ‘\' passage ia twelve or thirteen days. the Famine ta Ireland—Starvation in Scotland=Amertean Sympathy. Yne of the most penevolent and praiseworthy qvements that a Christian people ever took rt in—-we mean that for the relief ofthe perish- ag people of Ireland—is now going on among ‘ur citizens. We must not forget, however, that thers too are suffering from want, and are as rad'y, or nearly as badly off, as are the Irish, These have an equal claim on our sympathy, and these, as well as the Irish, are stretching ‘orth their hands to us for relief. We have recently been favored with the con- ents of a private letter received by a gentleman | n this city, from a friend in Scotland, which rep- esents the people of the Western Highlands to »e in a deplorable condition. The writer states (hat the inhabitants of the Western Highlands— ‘nverness, Rossshire, and the Hebrides, amount- & to two hundred and fifty or three hundred thou- nd souls—are literally in danger of starving to death, and many of them will starve unless they receive aid from foreign countries. We give in another column a few details of this distress in Scotland. ‘This certainly is melancholy intelligence at the present time, when the benevolence of our citi- zens is taxed so heavily for the Irish; but the claim of the people of Scotland is equally as ur- gentas that of the Irish, and must receive equal attention. A proper and equitable distribution of the provisions and funds now in course of col- ion ought to be made, and the propertion that would belong to Scotland by such a distribution, ought to be sent to those poor districts as soon as possible. {tis a matter ef much surprise to us that the numerous Scotch benevolent societies in this city keep silent, when they must have known, long since, of the existence of this unfortunate state of things ina portion of their native land. Their apathy and remissness in this respect deserve to be deprecated. We trust that the officers of the Highland Society, the St. Andrew Society, &c., Xc., will immediately take the matter in hand, and take proper measures to abate the destita- Nion that prevails in those parts of Scotland. Something should be dene at once. War Megrne.—There will be a meeting at Vauxhall Garden this evening, of citizens, withou, distinction of party, who consider it their duty to sustain the national government in prosecuting the war with Mexico. Wo consider this avery judicions movement at the present time, and we hope that the meeting will be well attended. Ever since the present session of Congress com- | menced, 2 portion of the members have acted as if they were altogether independent ofthe people who elected them. From day to day,for the space of nine weeks, they sought every opportunity of embarrassing the administration, and raising ob- stacles in the way of concluding the war—until there is a feeling of indignation aroused throughout the country that must be heard and felt at the capitol. Itis not a proper season to gratify political or party predilections or pre- judices, when the country is engaged in a war, the vigorous presecution of which is necessary to accomplish a speedy peace. If the members of Corgress who have acted in this way had done their duty, and placed the means that the Presi- deut asked in his message, at the disposal of that office, the war would be ended before six months. These means are now given to him, butit is a matter of greet doubt whether he can use them | to one halfas much advantage as he could have done two mouths ago. The blame of procrasti- nating the war must therefore rest where it be- longs, and we hope that a proper rebuke will be | administered to the guilty at the meeting this | evening. There is room for ten thousand personsin the piace where the meeting will take place, every inch of which we hope to see occupied. Amount or THE ConTRIBUTIONS FoR IRELAND.— We learn that the “Relief Committee” of this city have already $22,000 0n hand and defzosited in bank. There are twenty or thirty subscriptions of $500 ech. One thousand dollars were received yesterday anonymously from a lady. This is true | heaven-born charity. The committee have chartered a ship to take out provisions, and she will begin to load in a day or two. AID TOIRELAND. A committee to receive donations in daily from 10 to 8 o'clock, in Prime’ Wall street, and a freight barge lying in Lent’s basin has been furnished by Mr.W. 8. Griffiths, No. 22 South street, to receive contributions of grain, provisions, &c., prepa- ratory to shipment to Irela: ‘The following donations have not before been noticed: Collection in Rev.

With regard to the proportion of troops to be called from ether States, it is not our intention to | make any remarks; but we feel bound to say, | that if it be really the intention of the government | to confine the Empire State to seven companies, its importance and interests have not been ade- quately regarded.

We can assure them that it | will occasion grave dissatisfactien to our citizens, | and bitter disappointment to our patriotic and enterprising young men, should not the regiment | of dragoons, or at least a good portion of it, be ac- | cepted from this State and city, where tho very | | finest men for this service we have ever seen, | i have been already mustered and enrolled, and are ready to take the field at a day’s notice. Is Tennessee, or Kentucky, or any other State, so prepared? Or what advantages can they offer tor raising dragoons for the “regular army” that can equal or compare with those which New York and Pennsylvania can afford? It surely can- | not be the intention of the government to mount | the men where they are enlisted, but at some | point near to the seat of war, such as New Or- | leans, whither their agents for the purchase of horses wiil be instructed to forward them, and | | where officers of the regiment will be stationed | to receive them, and mount the recruits as they | arrive. We commend these remarks to the grave atten- | tion of all our members, and to the Secretary of | War. Exrorts or Foop to Euvrorg.—Six or seven ships cleared yesterday for Europe, laden with food.

Of these, one is the passage of t} e Wilmot pro- viso by the House of Representatives; and the other is the presentation ofa petition to our State | Legislature, fh which a certain Colonel Jones | Proposes to contract to bring Mexico to terms, and eonquer a peaee, for the sum of two mil- lions of dollars, and some little “ fixins,” which he designates ‘‘ personal spoils.” The particu- lars we published yesterday.

Did not A. do well to engage the jargest house pos- entertainment as ali performers , even if she did not add to all her own ace knowledged talent! But she does sing herself, and so the attraction is, past a doubt, irresistible. The Tabernacle must be crowded.

The engine is from the foundry of T. F. Secor & Co., and is one of their best manu- facture. Capacities—12 foot stroke, 72 inches cylendar. She was built by Messrs. Bishop & Simmons, the well known constructors of the | Atlantic, under the superintendance of Mr. C. W. Vandervilt, whose name she bears. It has been the intention of Mr. V., from the start, tomake this boat surpass in speed and beauty, regardless of expense or labor, any thing either on the | water or on “‘terra firma.”’ The average speed, | it is presumed, will reach twenty-five to twenty- | six miles per hour. The cabins and saloons will | be gorgeously furnished, which are to contain the | most costly rosewood furniture, covered with rich crimson velvet.

On belog questen ed what was the matter with him, he replied that his dis- tress would not last long. It was with the utmost diffi. culty that be could be kept on his bed ;_ physician was sent for, and remedies applied, but without any benef cial result, and the victim of jealousy died a little before | 10 o'clock. A paper marked “ poison,” also a letter ad- dressed to his wife, were found on the table beside his bed.

Therefore vol , the doctor ex- & of each ward, whereon the sick list is rot forth. Upon one of these returns the doctor noted down the residence of one of the men, who was thus returned on the sick list, in a small book, amongst the names of many others who are visited daily by the doctor— and ‘off starts the Samataran, eager to bes yd his professional talent with credit to himself and an honor to the bess ent. This patient residing in Mul berry street, and being the nearest upon his list, received the first call, and knocking at the door, the’ wife an- awered. The doctor inquired in a low tone of voice, is Mr.——in? “Sure, and he is,” said the wife, “and in bed to.” “Iam the doctor, and would like to sir. you can see my bus- The doctor, of course, expecting to ery sick man, went on bis tiptoes towards ed, where he aiw a man with his eyes closed, @ Very red face, and his mouth open, which naturaliy struck the doctor that the poor man termination of blood to the head, so he un- coat, drew out his case of * pullicans,” in order to bleed or cup him, if the nature of the case re- quired it. The doctor'then whispered softly,“ how do a snort from the nasal organ of the policeman, and the doctor next took him by the wrist to ascertain the state of his pulse, and feeling it yetin a dancing condition, considered that something must be done, an that very speedily, or something more serious might happen; when giving the patient a shake on the shoulder, he at last opened his in a ver acid and interest- ing manner, and exclaimed, “‘ What the h—il about 7” The doctor then smiled on his E said, “ How do you feel to-day?’ The policeman an- swered, ‘I’m well enough sure; if you’d but just let me alone, and not be after disturbing a man when he’s taking a bit of adoze.” Upon a further examination, the medical gentleman came to the conclusion that his | patient only wanted a little more sleep and a few doses | of cold water to restore him again to duty, left the premises and proceeded further to visit other sick | members whom he had on his list. It appears | upon enquiry into this singular case, that the policeman had obtained permission from his Captain to remain off duty the previous night, on account of havin, most glorious manner imaginable, uutil disturbed by the Medical Policeman, who was himself somewhat amused at the joke. Attempt to Steal—A fellow called Thomas Stewart was detected last night behind the counter, in the store of Thomas Kenney, corner of Beach and Greenwich streets. Locked up for examination. Petit Larceny—Officer McManus, of the 6th ward, ar- rested, last night, David Lee, alias Dublin Jack, for steal- ing two cab cushions, belonging to David Conway, siding in Mulberry street. Locked up for trial by Ju terested in Texas. It would nae from the Era that a large number of Indians, who have ‘ormerly resided on the Rio Grande, within the jurisdiction of Mexico, have lately emigrated and taken up quarters within the limits of Texas. They are supposed to be branches of the Lipan tribe, ‘There are also among them a portion of the | Apaches. The cause which jthese Indisns allege for | their removal to Texas is, that the Mexican authorities | were endeavoring to press their young men into the | army, to serve during the war with the United States, | and other acts of tae Ao oppression attempted to be exercised upon them. ‘The New Era attaches no impor- | tance to this pretence, considering it a mere excuse to | justify their occupation of Texas territory.

Of these seven lines of communica | tom with the interior, the first loads ina southrasterly direction to the county of Plymouth, and is about to be extended into Barnstable, through one of its diverging lines, which now terminates at Fall River. ‘The second live of railroad leads southwardly from the capital,into Rho: od, and it forms, in connexion with the Stonington Railroad, and with s'eam navigation through Long Island Sound, one of the routes to New York, and by means of branches it extends also in a outheasterly direction to the sea coast at New Bedford. | The third line leads westwardly from Boston to Wor- cester, and through the centre of the State, by way of | Springfield end Pittsfield, to its western boundary, and to Albany. By means of diverging lines, it also forma part of three routes of railroad and steamboat travel to New York,viz : one by wey of the Norwich Railroad te Allyn’s | Point, and thence by steamboat; one by the Norwich and | Long Island Railroads; and one by railread to Springfield, Hartford and New Haven, and thence by steamboat. By means of the Connecticut River Railroad, this line is ex. | tended by way of Northampton and Greenfield, to near the border of Vermont, and by the Pittsfield and North Adams Railroad to near the border of the same State at another point, the same cars passing through from Bos- tononeach route. This line is also extended by means of the Berkshire Railroad te the State of Connecticut, and the same line is extended, by the Housatonic Rail- | road, to Bridgeport en Long Island Sound. The fourth line leads northwestwardly from Boston- to Fitchburg, and isto bo extended thence by two di verging lines to Vermont, one through Massachusetts to Northfield, cn the Connecticut river, and the other | through New Ilampshire, by the way of Keene and Rut’ land, and also by way of Montpelier, to Burlington. The fifth line leads northwestwardly from Boston to Lowell, and thei to Concord, in New Hampshire, whence it isto be extended by works already begun, and partly opened, to the Connecticut river, to be further extended, by means of the Vermont Central Road, to Montpelier and Burlington, and northwardly, by a corporation already organized,!toCana a. The sixth line leads northwardly to Haverhill, thence to Exeter and Dover in New Hampshire, and te Ber- wick in Maine, where- it unites with the railroad lead- ing to Saco and Portland. The seventh leads northeastwardly from East Bostow to Salem, and the principal towns of Essex county; thence to Portsmouth in New Hampubire, and thence by | the Portsmouth, Saco and Portland Railroad (which has beon recently united with this route by a permanent | lease,) to Portland. From Portland it will shortly be ex- tended to Augusta, the capital of Maine, and probably to Waterville and Bangor. Thirty-two millions of dollars have been ex | pended on that portion of these roads within the |-‘State of Massachusetts. The aggregate length of | these roads is 328% miles. The annexed table exhibits | the cost of each road, including its stations, engines and cars ; their receipts from passenger fare ; from freight transportation; total receipts, and total current expenses.

For example, on the Boston and Wor. cester road, allthe station and locomotive expenses, of the Boston and Worcester road, including cars, load- ing, risk, clerk hire, and services of every kind,are paid by the Boston and Worcester corporation, and these charges are of course included in the expe! of the corporation. On the Boston and Lowell, and Boston and Providence roads, these charges, on passengers and freight coming from, and going to other railroads, are defrayed directly by the corporations from whose roads they come, and are not included in the expenses of the roads terminating in Boston. A corresponding diminu. tion is of course made, in rates of fare and freight re. ceived by these roads, and an increase in the compensa- tion to the companies by which the above charges are defrayed. There have been, during the year, traversed by loco- motive engines, conveying trains of cars, an aggregate | distance of 1,630,000 miles, transporting 3,135,000 passen gers, and over 800,000 tons of merchandise. The aggre- gate distance of passengers transported, was equal te the conveyance of 60,121,896 passengers one mile, and it was done at an average charge of 2 4-10 cents a mile.
