Arrival of the Steamer. ‘The city was full of reports yesterday of the arrival of the Hibernia at Halifax, and of an ex- press in this city from that place with her news. The steamer had not reached Boston last evening, bout the speculators contemplate beating her full twelve hours to that city. It may be that her news is already in town. Take care! The City of New York—The Past—The | Present—and the Future. | We recently published an article on the pre- sent prosperous state of the city of New York, and the whole country, and augured. that we | are now entering on a career of speculation and prospérity that will continue for a number of years, unless some contingency should intervene to prevent it. While, however, we dircct ourjattention to the present and the future, it is as well, perhaps, that we should occasionally recur to the past, lest we night in a few years outlive our memories, ard be bereft of any link by which we could connect ourselves with what passed within a compare- tively short time. We shall, therefore, brush up the memories of our readers, and take them hack a few years, with the view of illustrating the city of New York then, and contrasting it in its present state of extension, opulence and popu- lation. We shall go no farther back than the year 1808. From that year to 1814 the British orders in coun- cil—the Berlin and Milan decrees—our own non- intercourse acts—our embargo, and finally the war with Great Britain, actedon the United States, and on this city in particular, because it was the focus of the country, as does a sudden and violent squall ona ship at sea. It threw us onourbeam-ends. The course of events in those years occasioned great and irreparable loss to our merchants,and paralyzed their movements. South street, and the wharves on the East River, which before that period presented a busy scene, were, comparatively speaking, deserted. The same iner- tia was visible in Boston, Philadelphia and Balti- more. After the war was over, however, matters ussumed a different aspect. Energy and enterprise once more asserted their sway, and the gloom | and despondency that for many years hung like | a black cloud over our city, was dispelled by the j sunshine of peace. This.was manifested in many ways. Commerce was relieved of theiron fettess that controlied it. New York sent her vessels and her seamen to all parts of the world; packet saips were built and traded regularly between | Liverpool and New York, departing trom each Port as regularly as they do now, and creating as much excitement on their arrival here they | did a few years ago, before steam power was ap- ied to ocean steamers. | i The trade with China, which, before then, | was small, grew into importanco under the en- | Muxtcan Cavatay.—Statements the most con | tradi¢tory have appeared in print, respecting the | efficiency of the Mexican cavalry. According to Theatrical. Panx Taxatar—Benerit oy tue Viensoise Cuit- pnen.—Thia is the last night, and it will be a distant period, if when this splendid entertainment can be some, the cavalry is the very best portion of the | 7. 4 again. Apart from their attraction, kindly fecl, Mexican army ; according to others, it is the The Weekly Herald will be ready at 9 o’clock Worst. An officer of our army in Mexico, who | was present at the capture of Monterey, stated, (in a letter which was published in several news: | papers,) that he had seen “a regiment of lancers, composed of very fine looking men.” In an- | other paper we find the following paragraph, in | @ letter from its New Orleans correspondent :— | “All the officers from Mexico speak in high terms of | the Mexicancavalry, and sdmit they are ly equal to our meunted volunteers, man for man, and greatly out- number our forces of that a.” | Now read what Mr. W. Thompson, in his “Re- | collections of Mexico,” (page 170,) says on the | subject “T should regard it, (the Mexican cavalry,) from the diminutive sise of theis horses, snd the equally diminer riders, as utterly ine ness of efficient egainst any common And again, at page 172, he says :— “An American (of cavalry,) from the rior size of their Sisrese sialcnee i as much ground, and the obstruction offered by the Mexicans on their small and eran Ponies, would scarcely cause their horses to stumble in Hoe over them: to sa) of one least i ividal combuls and’ more’ than Twice ivi combat, i relays ob 4 more than twice Truly, Mr. Thompson, and “ the officers of the army,” have very opposite views in respect to the efficiency of the Mexican cavalry. Yet neither party can be said to be in the wrong, in reterence tothis matter. The fact is, there is no uniformity in the composition of the Mexican cavalry—one portion being very bad, another very good.— When Mr. Thompson was in the city of Mexico, he saw the bad portion—the oflicers of General Taylor’s army -have seen the good. Amongst the Indians, and the very dregs of the population of the large towns, the cavalry you see in the city of Mexico, and the country south thereof, is recruited. The men comprising it are puny, and ill made, and unskilled in the use of arms. Nine tenths of them never mounted a horse before the day of tneir enlistment. Their horses, too, are as puny as themselves; not be- cause there are no fine horses in the republic of Mexico, but because, in the northern districts, horses are scarce anddear. These are the caval- ry Mr. Thompson saw during his residence in Mexico. But when you travel northward of the city of | Mexico—when you enter the departments of San Luis de Potosi, Morelia, &c, you enter a fine grazing country, where horses are dog cheap. As a matter of course, the cavalry raised in that part of Mexico, are well mounted; and it is com- posed of men who, from being engaged in tend- ing the immense herds of cattle with which that portion of the republic is covered, have become bold in character, and athletic in frame. They are dexterous swordsmen, and as horsemen un> surpassed. These are the men who constitute a large portion ef the cavalry now at San Luis de Potosi, under the orders of Santa Anna. These are not themen Mr. W. Thompson saw, when acting as U. S. Minister in Mexico. But supposing that the Mexican cavalry are not only equal, but even superior to our own, in strength and stature, what does that matter? It is mental, rather than physical force, which gains battles. The Romans, though much smaller men than the Gauls, almost always defeated them — The diminutive infantyy of France have often put to the rout the gigantic grenadiers of Austria. The Mamelukes never could withstand the onsent of the French cavalry, though much superior to the latter in stature. And we may be sure that in this, as in former epochs—in Mexico, as in other coun- tries—when two armies engage in battle, the one which belongs to the most civilized nation of the two, will, nine times out of ten, gain the day.

According to our view of the new Postage law, or rather according to our view of theciroular of the Postmaster General, for the law and the cir- terprise of John Jacob Astor and others, and | continued successfully by Thomas H. Smith. | The Russian trade; was pushed by Samuel | Hicks, Mr. Jones, and others. ‘The South | American trade flourished under Peter Har- mony, G. and 8S. Howland, Foster and G. rard, and several others. The most extensive importing and exporting merchants at that time were Jonathan Ogden, Archibald Gracie, J. Wad- | dington, John Taylor, John Mason, A. Mitchell, | and some jothers. Whitney, McCoun, Storm, Tooker, Nevius, and others, controlled the gro- | cery trade. The jobbing business was in the | hands of Smith Crays, Laverty, Robbins, Kelly andothers. The auction business was managed | by the Hones, and so well was it conducted, that the prices current at their sales governed business in other cities. Others, among whom were Peter Remsen, Goodhue, Ta'bot and others, entered into it, and received consignments of whole car- goes of teas, &c ,which were owned in other ports, but transmitted to them for sale. Thus on from 1820 to the present time, our steamers ant packet ships have increased in numbers, magnitude, and splendor, that have no parallel, attracting and concentrating at this port the chief business of the continent. In the meantime, the packet lines, and fine ships of our sister cities, were not sustained, and have mostly withered away. | Should we be exempt for the next twenty years from the desolations of war—should both politi- ‘cians and Congress cease their agitations, our pro- gress up to 1865 promises far more brilliant results to our city than we have ever realized ; and here | Jet us ‘revert for a moment to the progress in population, even under the vicissitudes of the period we have mentioned, to 1845:— In 1805 our population w: oo 75,770 In1g26 “ ++ 166,085 In i845 “ a 362,000 In 1865 be. *: eee The blank for 1865, we leave to others to fill up. | At a guess we should put down 600,000 or more, without reference to Brooklyn, or other adjacent places. To judge from the past—the extraordinary | rate at which New York has progressed since 1820, there is every reason to believe that it will | be, in time, the largest city in the world. | Tue Army Promotions anv Arro INTMENTS.— The promotions and appointments in the Army | of the United States since the publication of the | Army Register, in January, 1847, were published | exclusively in the Herald yesterday, and will oc- | cupy ® place in the Weekly Herald of this week} | We are glad tosee that our gallant officers,who | behaved so nobly in the battles of Palo Alto and fiesaca de la Palma, and in the defence of Fort | Town, have not been overlooked.

CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN GENERAL Tay LOR AND ras Wak DePARTMENT.—In another part of this day’s paper will be found the official correspon. | dence between the War Department and General ‘Taylor, 80 far as published.

Musical, Irauian Orena—Palmo’s was crowded last night—a perfect jam, and the “Barber of Seville” was perfo to the satisfaction of the immense concourse.

It .w: wered by policeman Owens, who found on the premises an unfortunate wo- man in a state of intoxication and ina deep sleep. The fire was soon extinguished, ond owing to active ertions of the policeman, both the life of the wretched woman and the premises were saved. A fire also occurred in a crockery store, No. 367 Bowery, yesterday morning. ‘he fire didmuch damage to both the property and premises.

Swinpiinc OrenaTtions.—A systematized plan of swind- ling, we understand, is in full operation just now, by some half dozen persons, who have opened stores in this city. The operations are very ingenious.— Should one of the party want to purchase goods from any of our wholesale merchants, he will make up avery plausible story, andjthen rofer to his friend Mr. So-and-so, who keeps a store in such a street. Mr. So and-so hereupen dilates upon the high character and standing of his friend, and will refer to another of the “firm,” located in some other quarter of the city, to sup- port him. ‘hus the wholesale merchant will be decoy- ed, and the amount of the swindle is divided between the d that this plan is now in opera- lo merchants should be on the gui it, now that the spring business is actively.

According to this theorem, when 9,000 000 years shall have elapsed, and we have reached the opposite side of this immense cit- cle, our relative position to the various constellations will have so aes that they will present a different aspect from thatin which they now eppearto us. In connexion with the subject, the lecturer jodulged in jan- some felicitous speculations, drawn in the glowing fase peculiarly hia own. After he had compl ire he claimed the indulgence of the short time, while he related the history of his eff their success in procuring the erection of the ob- servatory at Cincinnati. When he first proposed to commence the enter, » ho was discouraged; he was told; he could raise no money for such op object; but he went to work «and immediately $10,000 were contributed snd laid out in instrumente which are now in possession of the society; he was told that he could not get a place to build apon, but a liberal contributor came for' and the ground which forms the He had only to make known his wants and mechanics and artificers came for- ward and took shares, paying for them in labor in their various departments, while others furnished material.— One gave planks for the floors, while down, and another contributed the in their places.

Friday, March 19-6 P.M. There was a slight improvement in the stock market to-day, but it was confined to two or three of the fancies. ‘We can attribute this to no ether cause than the fact, that several leading bears made their sppezrance in the street as purchasers, to fill up contracts maturing. At the first board, Norwich and Worcester went up % per cent; Harlem, 14 ; Canton, % ; Morris Cansl, 34 ; Read: ing Bonds, 1 ; United States 6s, 1856, 3, ; Reading, %; Long Island, 3 ; Wlinois Bank, 4 ; Ohvo 6s, and Farmer’ Loan, closed at yesterday’ At the second board Pennsylvania 6's fell off 34 per cent. Norwich and Worcester advanced 3 ; Canton, i, and Morris Canal, %. There were large sales at the second board of Norwich and Worcester, holdecs appear- ing anxious to get rid of all they had, at the advance.— The market closed heavy. The tight money market and the operation of the In- dependent Treasury system, are bringing the fancy stecks down to their proper level. Things which in fact possess ne real value, cannot be sustained in the face of a rapidly improving currency. Money is becom. ing too valuable to be locked up in fancy stocks, and al- most every chance for any speculative advance is out of the question. The quotations for such stocks as the Nor. wich snd Worcester and the Long Island, are temporari- ly sustained by the bears, for the surpose of making sales to deliver, and the moment they leave the market, a fell of several per cent must be realized. These two roads depend almost entirely upon the through travel between this city and Boston, and they must'continue to—as they have heretofore—find it rather unprofitable business. The Norwich andjWorcester Company will labor under dis- advantages during the approaching travelling season, which will compel it to confine its business almost entirely to the local travel. It has not proper fuacili- ties to enable it to compete successfully with the other lines for the Sound travel. There are in operation at this timo, four routes to Boston, two day and two night lines. Of all these lines, the shortest is by the way of Greenport and Stonington, and we learn that arrangements are about being madetorun through by this route in eight hours. Should these arrange- ments be perfected, the Norwich and Worcester com- pany will lose this portion of the through travel. This, however, is not of much conrequence, as it is estimated that only about one-fifth of the travel between this city and Boston, has been, in‘eack of the past two years, trans- ported by the two ds That company must leok out tor its night line of through travel, as four-fifths of the whole is via Long Island Sound in the night boats. This portion of the through travel isin a fairway of being drawn to the Stonington route, as the railroad and steamboat companies of that line have provided facili, ties superior to those of any other route, and such as must command the bulk of the through business It is estimated that the time between the two citi by thet line, will not vary much from nine hours’ The Oregon goes on early in April, and the Vanderbilt early in June. It is the mos¢ direct, the shortest, and with the advanteges such magnificent boats as thos» named above farnish, it must be the cheapest and quickest route be- | tween New York and Boston. ‘The local travel of tae Norwich and Worccster Rail. road has been, in each of the past two years, about five- eighths of the aggregate business of the company. The sources of this business are so limited, and the construo- tion of other roads calculated to draw away part of that whioh it has hitherto monopolised, are progressing #0 rapidly, that the maximum of that traffic, has without doubt, been reached. It will therefore be seen that with no increase in its local travel, and with a falling off of e large per cent in its through bu: come of the company this y: ecsed that of last. It is our will not equal that ditures will be fully as large. opinion that of 1846, while the expen, In this view ° the affairs of the Norwich and Woroester Railroad ompany, it is impossibfe to keep its stock at the presen, market value. It has not in fact any real value, as the payment of even the smollest dividend is utterly out of the question. There is not the most remote probability ‘a dividend being realized from the net receipts of this | company for many years, perhsps never, as it is at pre- sont organized. At present prices it should be a three por cent stock, and holders must have more confidence in its ultimate value, than the position of the company warrants. We cannot see where business enough is to me from, to enable this company to not a revenue auf- cient to pay a dividend that will establish the par valuo present prices. All the value any fancy stock pos sea, is in the prospective business or revenue of the company To the extent of that, from time to time, every improvement in the market value is based. Where the receipts of a company have reached a maximum, end its stock is selling at fifty cents on the dollar, there is very little chance for any permanent increase in prices.
