ONUMENT.—All previous attempts | to erect a monument in this city to Washington | ed with the following translation of a letter ad- —— | having failed for want of funds, we now under- | dressed to our newly appointed consul at St. New York, Satuctay, February 20, 1847. | stand anew movement is about to be made to | Thomas, showing the estimation in which he is revive the old chartered Washington Mogument Association, by application to the Legislature for | where he has been long favorably known to the a re-charter, in order to secure some $50, whieh we believe has already been collected to- sylvanian, and his appointment is said to be one wards that object. We have a word to say in relation to this move- ment, and will state one or two preliminary con- =? ditions, which we believe‘absolutely necessary to lectures on the principles the success of the project. In the first place, it is indispensably necessary that the project be undertaken by men of cha- racter—men of firmness—men of perseverance— and men ef pecuniary responsibility; by men, in short, who can command the entire con- fidence of the community both as respects the plan and site of the proposed monument, and especially as regards the eollection and safe | keeping of subscriptions. Secondly, in view of the late experience of New ngland in completing Bunker Hill monument, me new or different method must be | adopted to raise the requisite funds to complete a monument such as has been designed; and none | or one ef equal magnificence, would be | worthy either of the memory of the man, or ef | the city where itis to be erected. We therefore suggest that the only way sufficient funds can ever be raised, will be to erect a monument that | | shall accomplish two objects:— First, it shall perpetuate the memory of Wash- | NEW YORK HERALD. | Our illustrated Weekly. The Weekly Herald will be ready at eight] o’cloek, this mornirg, and will be replete with all the news of the day. It will contain, among other things, an accu- rate report of the tremendous war meeting at Vauxhall Garden, on Thursday evening; an- other of Dr. Ryder’s of the Cathelic Church; and Legislative news of the week; full ac- counts of the great movement now going on throughout the country for the relief of the Irish and Scotch; interesting Washington cor- respondence; the foreign news by the steam- ship Cambria, if she should arrive in time; be- sides our usual compend of financial, political, | and miscellaneous intelligence. It will be illustrated with two engravings—one of the new and splendid iron steamer, Sarah Sands; and the other of the Market Square in | we think so Matamoras, Mexico. This number will be a capital one for our Irish | and Scotch fellow citizens to send to their rela- tives at home, to show them the great interest | that America feels in their present unfortunate the Congressional | Single copiesin wrappers, ready for the mail sixpence each, or $8 per annum, in advance. ‘Whe Steamer Cambria.

General Rivera had an army of tour thousand men on the Uraguay, and it was said that he would | soon march for Montevideo. The besieging army under Gen. Oribe was in- active, and appeared disposed to wait the return of news from England and France. Very little attention was paid by the English and | French to the blockade, and vessels continually | pass and repass to Buenos Ayres. Six American vessels had loaded on the Buenos Ayrean side of the river, at the Salado and Euse- nado, without any interruption. Gen. Urquisa, Governor of Entre Rios, and one of Gen. Rosas’s best generals, had sent proposals in writing to the Government at Montevideo, to arrange a treaty of peace, independent of Buenos Ayres, and the Montevidean government was act. ing on the same. Uf this succeeds, the Parana is free for the navi- gation of the world.
