The Sarah Sands, with two days later intelli- | gence, is now in her twenty-first day. Letters from Italy, by Mrs. J. G. B. | Fronxxce, March 10, 1347. Tarrived at Lucca after three days travelling | over delightful roads, and a beautiful country, | with the carriage open all the way. Think of | that in the beginning of March. At Lucca I took the railway to Pisa and Leghorn, My carriage waited for me at Lucca till my return. Icame here in one day, over the finest road imaginable. After my return from Pisa, in the evening, God- frey, the courier, came into my room, and said to mo, “ Madame, il fait que vous serez de bonne heure demain matin.” said, “I will; but may I ask you why?” ‘Madame, there is great danger on that road if one is out after sunset.” “Ho! h aid 1; and you may be very sure that I rose as enrly 28 possible. It seems that « great many robberies have been committed “on that road of late. A diligence was robbed, and a carriage stopped; and several persons killed. I believe all the roads in Italy are dangerous after dark. They have now cara- bineries stationed everywhere on the road. The morning we started, we met three fellows in the hands of three carabineries, who were taking them into town to prison. 1 think, without ex- ception, they are, in all the little towns through- out Italy, the most banditti looking set of men I ever beheld. Sometimes I am afraid to look at them. They are also very poor. I am so intoxicated (if I may use the ex- pression) with this beautiful eity—its statues— its architecture—its palaces—its paintings—that really I feel as if I cannot leave it. Such calmness of mind !—such pleasures! But I must leave this enchanting city. 1 went yesterday to see the churches. first one was JI Duomo, or Cathedral. It is nearly in the centre of the city. It isa magni- ficent edifice—the pavement solid marble, and all the outward walls are ornamented with va- | rious colored marbles. Behind the altar is a marble Pietd, which was the last work of Burna- | rotti, (Michael Angelo,) but he was prevented | from finishing it by death. 1 also saw there an antique portrait of Dante, the poet, and also the Sassa di Dante, a favorite stone, on which that great poet used to sit when composing his verses ~all of which, I assure you, were very inte- resting tome, You knew my love, before this for antiquities, and your hatred for them. Now, | Tcould have d there all day, looking at that | stone, and imagining I saw that great man sit- | The a ting there weeping over his misfortunes, and | thinking how he was stripped of his fortune by t his ungrateful county and now, when it is too late, like many other cases, they think of him with veneration and respect—and point out that | stone where he used to sit. Mankind, however, | are se all over the world. | then went tothe church of Sante Croce, or Holy Cross. I saw there the tomb of Michael Angelo Burnarotti, and his bust, sculptured by himself, with three crowns. Underneath is a'sarcophagus, with Paint- ing, Sculpture and Architecture, deploring the loss of theirfavorite. It'is altogether the most magni- ficent piece of sculpture I ever beheld. There is also his picture of Christ and the holy women. His remains are buried in this church. T also saw here one of Canova’s chef d’euvres. It is a monument to the memory of Alfieri, the poet ; that unfortunate man, who was always fall- ing in love with married women. It is of whi marble, and exhibits a sarcophagus with masks, | lyres, laurel leaves, and a head of the poet him- | self in bas relief. Italy is represented as a fe- male, crowned with flowers, weeping over the remains of her poet. I looked at that face, again and aguin, to see if I could discover anything different in the form and expression from the hu- man face generally, and to try and find out why his passion was always for ried women ; for you know, whenever be was in love, and that was often, it was sure to be with a married per- son, and never with a young girl. And thus he was so unfortunate in his loves, and always un- happy. His passions were so violent, that when writing or composing, he used to chain himself down to his chair, so that he could not do any | damage to ninself, or any body else. He thought he could write better when chained. I wish somebody would chain you down in one spot, | till you write me a long letter, for really T want to hear from you. There are a great many other monuments in the church, which would be tedious to mention. Ihave told you of the principal ones. There is something of interest to be seen in all the churches here. Some of the ceilings are cove ed with mosaics; some with the most magnifi- cent of frescoes—and fine paintings and statuary in all ; #0 that the lower order of people must be | more or less enlightened in good taste when | they have those beautiful objects of art alway. i} events in those States where elections are to be held in August, September, October, and Novem- ber. | im the least, |ler, in the play of the | claims this establishment has on the patronage of the | reaping very substantial tokens of popular approbation | at the Minerva rooms, where he will perform every tion. Without his aid the capitulation might not have been made. a i Other officers too are entitled to their share of | praise, and to their share of the gratitude of their fellow-citizens. ‘Tue Evection 1x Vinainita—Tuer Next Con- @ress.—By the latest returns from Virginia we Jearn that the people of that State have elected five or six whig and nine democratic members of the next House of Representatives of the Uni- ted States—which isa clear gain of four or five members for the whigs. This result was totally unlooked for and unexpected by both parties. In an article which Father Ritchie wrote a short time since, on the probable complexion of the next House of Representatives, he estimated that Virginia would send twelve democrats and three whigs, and that the next House would, be democratic. Owing, however, to the elec- tion of five or six whigs, and the loss of the democrat in Connecticut, the House will be whig; it will be so, according to Father Ritchie’s own statement, if in no other way. If there be a further loss of two mem- bers of the estimate of the Union, the whigs will have a majority in the House. Still the demo- crats may gain in the States yet to elect; but the prospect is almost as blue as indigo. The whig organs will doubtless construe their gain in Virginia to a condemnation by the people of the policy of the administration in regard to the war. Such, however, isnot the case The war has nothing to do with it, unless it be General Taylor’s victories, They have their effect, and a most powerful one itistoo. He is recognized by the great body of the whigs as their candidate for the next Presidency ; and the whig gain in Virginia is only a premonitory of the una- nimity with which he would be voted for by all parties, in case he benominated and consent to run. The policy pursued by the administra- tion in conducting the war, is approved by the people generally, and would probably have se- cured nearly the whole of the Virginia delega- tion, but for the movement of the whigs in tak- ing up Old Rough and Ready for the presidency. It will now be curious to watch the progress of e om THe La Prara.—Through indness of Captain Mansfield, of the bark Kunomous, we have accounts from Montevideo to the 10th of February, received by private let- ters. Rivera had fled from Maldonado, and arriv- ed at Montevideo on the 2d; but for fear he would have been assassinated, the government put him on board a French steamer, and sent him to Martini Garcia, somewhat inexile. The atroci- ties he committed at Pysandu, equalled any committed by Rosas ; he plundered all the hides he could lay hands on, belonging to friend or foe, and converted them to his own use.— What will be the result of this business, no one can tell. Theatricals. Pan Teatex.—Mr. Mason and Mr, Wheatley will conclude their engagement at the Park Theatre this evening. During its coutinuanco they have been wit- nessed by large and fushionable audiences every night, and have received flattering tokens of tho manner in which thoir talents are appreciated. Mrs. Mason has made many aduirers and frionds in addition to the great number she always had, and will leave here with a ne tation that she may and will be proud of. She will play the rt of Mrs. Haller in the “ Stranger,"’ and we can contidently say thut her porsonation of this most diffi- cult part, isnot excelled by any aetress that ever ap- peared on our We have repeatedly said so, and we dosoagain. Mr. Wheatley will take the part of the Stran- ger. To-morrow will be Mra, Mason's last appearance, and on that evening her benefit willtake place. Both she aud Mr. Wheatley will perform in the play of tho “Lady of Lyons,” which was so well received on Friday last. Bowery Turatxe.—Mra, Shaw, the talented tragic actress, who has been delighting the patrons of the Bowery for some nights past, took her benefit there last evening, and we are happy to say that there was not @ svat in the whole establishment that was not occupied. ‘The compliment was as well intended as it was deserved, and no doubt fully satisfied Mrs. Shaw that the estima- tion in which she has always beon held, has not abated She will app ming as Mrs. Hal- The mu mance, the “Bohemian Girl,” which has been in hearsal for some days past, will be produeed this ning. in such a style as cannot fail to insure it a warm reception, and that will add another, te the many publi Miss CLarx at tHe OtyMric.—We aro informed that this talented favorite will take a benefit at the Olympic ‘Thoatre, in this city, on Thursday evening noxt. She will appear on that oecasion ax Lady Gay Spanker, in “London Assurance,” a character that she has perform- ed with great credit on many occasions. Misa Clarke deserves, as no doubt she will have, a bumper. Other attractions, in addition to “London Assurance,” will be offered for that evening. Mr. Atexaxper.—Mr. Alexander, the magician, is evening this week. It is well worth the priee of admis sion to see him exocute some of his tricks, The sharpest among our citizens cannot detect him—so neatly and ox- peditiously does he use his talent and magical powers. Castix Ganvex,—The warm season is fast approach- ing, and our toil-worn and exhausted citizens will be glad to seek the cool breeze, and enjoy themselves in a rational manner, after the business and excitement of r. ‘All that they will noed can be obtained rden, which has recently been opened for the reception of visiters.

The boldness of the affair, of the commander of avessel with a crew ofabout one hundred men, * all told, demanding the surrender of a place con- taining seven thousand inhabitants, ‘in order to | avoid unnecessary bloodshed,” is only equalled | by the saucy and independent manner in which che place was tuken possession of, and the amazee ment with which Commodore Perry beheld the | stars and stripes waving over a place which he | ‘was arranging to attack, with almost the whole | naval force of the country, and a military force | of two thousand men. | The whole affair was brilliant, and exhibits | the spirit and gallantry of our naval officers, than | whom there are no braver men in the world. | While our citizens, however, are carried | away by their admiration of this heroic deed, | and of Lieut. Hunter, who directed it, it must | not be forgotten that every other officer belong- | ing to that vessel is entitled to his share of ecniiarly distinguished His knowledge of the Lente ont the dintn. ravo.—The brik cs2 | secure seats, | was perceived, and the steam whistle was sounded in | and was about 60 years of age of walking one thousand miles in one thousand consecu- tive hours, will commence walking one thousand quarter miles every consecutive quarter hour, to-morrow eve- nin it eight o° ‘k, at Vauxhall Garden.

Messrs. S. A. Wells and J. N. Christy will give their burlesque lecture on magnetism, which is decidedly the richest thing er listened to. With mich « bill as they have provided, it would be as well for our Brooklyn friends to attend early in order to Tue Swiss Beit Rixcrns.—In consequence of the Apollo Rooms being previously engaged, the Campana- logians, or Swiss Bell Ringers, will not perform there thie evening.

Mr, A. was killed im: | mediately, and Mr. R. was taken off the cow catcher when the cars were stopped in about the distance of the length of the train. ‘The bell was rung before the w full force immediately after, but the persons in the wag- on did not take it for warning of the approach of cars, not knowing that they wero run on Sunday. Mr. Ryno insisted on being taken home last evening, and together with the corpse of his companion, was sont back. The deceused was an industrious man, a carpenter by trade, He was a widower, and leaves several children, Mr. Ryno, although considern- bly bruised. is not dangerously injured. One of the horses was killed, and the wagon broken into fragments. Newark Adv., April 26, Sporting Intelligence.

Fyret District.—The returns received by mail to-day settle the question in favor of the re-election of Atkin- son, democrat, by a majority of about 100, It was at first supposed that Watts, whig, was ciected, as the whigs ed largely in Norfolk city anc county, and Isle of ight—but the returns from Princes Anne and Nanse- mond showed democratic gain, auc saved the election of Atkinson. Second District.—The election is still in doubt be- tween Dromgoole (democrat) and iolling (whig.) The robabilities are in favor of the whig candidate. The ichmond Times (whig) says :—The following majorities this correct. Dromgoole. 36 86 Mu Mecklenburg 156 6 292 Bolling’s majority 24, and Amelia and Nottoway to hear from ; the latter county will, in all probability, give a larger rity to Bolling than will the former to Di le. ‘The Richmond Enquirer puts down Amelia at 45 for Dromgoole—Nottoway 15, and Dinwiddie 113 for Bolling. and thus elects Dromgoole by 24 majority.

AN imposina Cenemony at St. Parnicx’s Catie- puat.—We understand that a highly accomplished lady will take the final yows of the “Sisters of Mercy,” otherwise called taking the “black veil,” at the Roman Catholic Cathedral in Mott street, near Prince, this morning at nine o'clock. Tho ceremony, although a very long one, is extremely imposing, and would, if the portals of the Cathedral were freely threwn open, be witnersed by thousands ofrespectfully admiring citizens; but, it has been determined, perhaps very judiciously. to confine the admission to # class who have been so fortu- nate as to obtain tickets of admission. As the Cathe- dral could not contain “the tithe of the tithe’ of our readers, even were admission free, we will endeaver to furnish a liberal gene Par of all that may be interest- ing. Meantime, we take leave to say that the introduc- tion of this pious and charitable order of educated la- dies is the opening of a new era in the onward march of education and benevolence in our happy republic. Tue Weartnen.—The thermometer in Wall street stood at 68 degrees about noon. The weather promised more favorably about 6 o'clock. From past experience, however, it is impossible to caloulate upon it. Treaenovs Passace rrom Aumaxy to New Yorx. —The elegant steamer pn od Williams, arrived here Pao afternoon at 16 utes to 3 o'clock, having left Albuny at half-past 6, This is the quickest pus- sage on record, ‘Tux Boston Lixz.—We are indebted to Mr. Cloyes, of the New Haven and Springfield route, and Phillips & Co,,for the Boston and Hartford papers of yosterday morning. Miitany.—A splendid sword and belt, with revolving pistols, were yesterday presented to Capt. Thomas Post- ley, of the 10th regiment U. 8. I., previous to his depar- ture for Mexico. by Gen. Storms, for and in behalf of the officers of the Ist brigade, Cratwam Street ann THe Sevestu Waro.—It h long been a matter of some surprise that the resi: or land holders of the Seventh ward have not made an action of some kind forthe removal of an insufferable nuisance which has been allowed to exist for years—a disgrace to the municipal government, and a drag on property in the upper part of the city. | Property, par- ticularly in tbe Seventh ward, within tho last three or | four years, has depreciated in value at least 20 percent., and unless this evil be remedied, and that soon, the valu- ation of real estate will be further materially lessened. It is known that the only avenue leading to the upper part of the city, and the one on which the Seventh ward mainly dej have a clear and unobstructed passage, a few indi- viduals are permitted, with impunity, to occupy the public sidewalk from Roosevelt street to Catherine, with beds, bedding, pots and pot hangers, and every conoely- able article of kitchen and chamber implements, render- ing access to tho Seventh ward through this, the only street, extremely difficult, to say nothing of the incon- venience and risk one runs, in making his way through feathers, gridirons and cradles, Hundreds of persons thut have lived quietly and comfortably in the neat and pleasant streets of the, Seventh ward, who were doing bu- siness in the lower part of thecity, have been compelled through noother cause, to leave their preferred houses, for others less difficult to reach. Many who are residents of East Brondway, Market, Henry and those streets, aro frequently obliged to take a circuitous route, or com- pelled to enter an omnibus before they can reach their destination. ‘This infringement upon the city ordi- nances and the rights of citizens is openly permitted, while many large and spacious stores lie unoccupied. ‘Tho interest, comfort, and convenience of the people of the upper wards, are involved in_ this matter, and it behoves them to make an effort to avert the consequences of an evil which has already done much injury. Fins.—A fire broke out y terday morning in the small house, No. 656 Water street. ‘The upper part was destroyed. ‘The tlames communi to the adjoining premises, occupied by Mr. Barker "as a bakery store, part of whose premises were destroyed. ‘The fire was ibsequently put down, Avanst—A fire alarm, yesterday morning, was occa- ioned in consequence of A stove pipe taking fire, at No. Aun street, Damage trilling . Sus-Manine TeLescore.—We aro informed that the books of subscription to the capital stock of the Sub- Marine Telescope Company, are now open at Clinton Hall. ‘The telescope to be used by this company 1s the one invented by Mra. Surah P. Mather, in the year 1843, which she obtained a patent for, and to test the benefits of which Congress appropriated $2,000, The tests re- sulted satisfactorily, and this company bas been formed to apply it to practical uses. Accipest.—An apprentice lad named Edward Devit, employed in the work shop of Messrs. Dicty, Brothers & Co., Columbian foundry building in Duane street, near Center, came near losing his life yesterday after- noon by falling through the hatchway of the four sto- ries, He was taken up ina state of unconsciousness, and conveyed to the City Hospital, where he liesin a eritical situation. His parents are said to reside in Brooklyn. Dear wy a Fane roner Walters was called yes- terday to hold an inquest at No. 818 Greenwich street, on the body of achild named Wm. K. Ogden, who on Sunday last accidentally tell off a piazza in the rear of tho house, a distance of about 12 feet, and was so serions- ly hurt that he expired shortly afterwards. Drowxen.—Coroner Walters, held an inquest also at 414 West street, on the body of aboy six yoars old, named Wm. C.Verplank,who accidentally fell off a versel into the dock at the foot of Perry atrect,on Saturday last and was drowned, Ilis body was recovered yoster- Verdict, death by drowning. Common Counc Boann or Auprrmen, Monday Evening.—The Board met at about 6'y o'clock. Present, the President in the Chair, and a quorum of members. ‘Phe minutes of the previous meeting were read, and on motion approved Petitions.—Several petitions were presented, and re- ferred to appropriate commiitees. Among thom was one from James Hopson, late special justice, asking pay for services rendered on Sundays, while he was engaged as police justice of the city, New Corporation Paper.—A petition was presented from a number of German citizens, asking that the Ger- man paper, known as the New York State Gazette may be appointed one of the corporation papers. Alderman Bexson opposed the measure; he said that ag the members of the Board were about to retire from office, they ought not to entail upon the next board an expense of $200, If it wero right in voting this $200 to a German paper, they had a right to vote $500 to each of the other papers, ‘I'his, said the Alderman. is a new born love which the gentlemen show for the Germans since the election. Alderman V’urser and Alderman Livisoston spoke in faver of granting the petition. They disclaimed any at- tempt to make political capital out of this matter, The petition was not from the printers of the paper but from German citizens, who were interested in the proceedings of the corporation, A motion to refer the matter ton committee was lost, and by a vote of Il to 2 the petition was granted.

The meat ee cost him $8,000 more than the amount contracted for. Ald. Brapy stated that this contract was made by the commissioner of the alms house. He, therefore, should like to hear from the commisasoner upon the subject. Ald. Purser said that the commissioner of the Alms House had been consulted, and while he declined to give any official action, yet he was in favor of the relief. The report was accepted, and the resolution adopted. in favor of appropriating $1000 to erect an en- gine house in West Broadway, for the use of the large = the oth Ward.

The water is about twenty-one foet above low water mark. It covers nearly the whole of Commerce strect, and is in most of the cei- | lars on that stroct. ‘The meadows epposite, as well ax above and below us, are completely inundated. Yester- day the water fell about two inches, At Springflold, at 1P. M.on Saturday, as we learn from the Guzette, the water was within three fect of the highest point marked by the great flood of 1843, (the highest since the Jeffer- son flood) and still rising about one inch per hour. The | water has found a channel, as in 1843, across the road in | West Springfield, a few rods wost of the bridge, and all | the low grounds ‘in that vicinity are flooded. The cul- | yerts of the Connecticut river railroad, near the Hadley | Falls, have sustained considerable injury from the rise | of water, and a portion of the track was swept away on Friday night, but was repaired soas tobe passable for | the cars on Saturday morning.—Hartford Courant, | April 26. Tur Army.—Several officers of the army, late- | ly arrived at New Orleans from Vera Cruz, are of opinion that General Scott will be prevented from marching into the interior of Mexico, further than the highlands of Jalapa. by the approach of the periovl when the term of several volunteer regiments under his com- mand will expire. Some of those terms will expire be- fore the first day of next July, when the men may re-en- list or not. If they choore to return home, the General | | will be under the necessity of disbanding them, and pro- | viding the means of ponvering them to their homes; aud this duty he might be called upon to pertorm at a mo- | ment when it would be extremely inconvenient to him and hazardous to the army. It is the part of prudence, therefore, to remain at Jalapa till he receives _reinfor: ments from the United States, or till General Taylor i so far advanced on his march, as to render a junction with him easy er.

Intelligence. Case of Hotchkiss, Mills § Co. Dismissed.—The hearing in this case was concluded on Saturday last, be- fore Justice Osborne, when Mr. Stoughton, the eloquent counsel for the accused parties, moved for the discharge gf hls clients, on the ground that the complalnant, Mr John M. Keese, of the firm of Berri and. Keese, had fail- edin substantiating the charge of felony. It appeai from the crous-exainination of Str. Keene, that about t 12th of April, instant, the firm of Berrie & Keese, ob- tained @ loan of six thousand dollara from Messrs Mills & Co., and deposited with them various promusory notes for sale and as collateral ng 9 Amongst these notes were the two notes of s Beck & Co., for about $1800, and a note drawn by West & Oliver for about the same amount. Mr. Keeso, on Monday tho 12th instant, sent to Hotchkiss, Mills & Co., stating that he had an offer from Mr, Robbins, a broker in Wall street, by which he could seli the West & Oliver note at ten per cent, per annum, and received an answer from Hotchkiss & Mills, that if that was the case they would tuke the note at the samo rate. ‘This passed on until the noxt day, (Tuesday) when the firm of West & Oliver stopped payment; and Mr, Hotchkiss ascertain- ing from Mr. Robbins, that he had offered to take the note of West & Oliver at 12 per cent. instead of 10, as repre- sonted by Mr. Keese, making @ differonce of nearly $40, Mr. Hotchkiss sent the noto of West & Oliver back to Mr. Keese, and sold, according to previous directions, the two notes of Beck & Co., and placed them to the credit of the $6,000 loan.’ Thus it appears from the testimony in, the case, that the difloulty aroce between the parties respecting the note of West & Oliver, in Hotchkiss & Co. not receiving that note in part payment of the loan, as well as the two notes of Beck & Co., and others, which resulted in a dispute between the parties, and terminated in the above police progeeaings. Justice Osborne ou Monday (yesterday) dismissed the complaint against Hotchkiss. ills & Co., upon the cross-examination of Mr. Keese, together with the affidavit of Mr. Geor 8. ins, clearly showing to the satisfaction of that magistrate that no felony had been committed, Upon this decision being given, Mr. Stoughton, counsel for Hotchkiss, \ & Co., commenced a civil suit in the Superior Court, before Chief Justice Jones against Mr. John M. Keese, for false tmprisonment, and a malicious prosecution. the Judge holding Mr. Keose to bail in the sum of $6000, for trial. Dishonest Cartman.—Offloers Crosett and Reeve of the Sd ward arrested yesterday afternoon a cartman by the name of John D. King, on a charge of breaking open four large trunks belonging to Capt. Il. C. Wayne, and steal- ing therefrom a large assortment of ladies’ woaring ap- parel and various other articles, valued at between $300 and $600. It appears that about a year ago Mrs. Wayne stored the above named trunks with Bortle & Stringer, No. 203 Chambers street, which trunks were placed in the loft of said premises. ‘The accused drove cart for Holeomb & Skillman, next door, and was in the habit of going up in this loft frequently, but Mr. Stringer, supposing him to bean honest man, his movements, there- fore, were not looked upon in any way suspicious, until estorday Mr. Stringer thought he would examino the runks tosee if all was right, when lo! to his astonishment he found all four broken open, and the contents therein carried off. Suspicion at once fell upon this cartman, and a man by the name of John Hughs, « carpenter,who had been working up in this loft making boxes—con: quently a search warrant was procured by Mr. Stringer, issued by Justic Osborne,to search the dwelling-house of King, at No. 28 Madison street, in the rear, which re- sulted in the officers finding five dresses of a very rich and costly silk, one gingham, and one muslin de laine dress, a lot of damask table cloths, and napkins, all marked Wayne, a beautiful leghorn bonnet, and a military sash, together with various other valu- able articles, all ‘of which have been feloniously taken from the premises of Mr. Stringer, evidently by King and Hughes, who were both taken into custody, and conveyed before Captain Boudinott of the 3d ward, and locked up prior to boing taken before the magis- trate, We understand that Captain Wayno is now in Mexico with General Scott, and his lady is residing at present in Savannah, Georgia Grand Larceny.—A fellow called John Morton, was detected on Sunday afternoon, coming from the premises No. 54 Second Avenue. having in his possession ‘a me- rino cloak and eleven ladies dresses, valued at $40, the property of Mr. John Valentine, which the rascal had stolen from the wardrobe in absence of the family, who were all gone to church. Justice Ketcham committed him in full for trial. Petit Larceny.—A fellow called Sam Twaddel, was caught last night by officer Crolius, of the 5th ward. having in his posscssion a glazed cap worth $1. which he had stolen from Patrick Markham, No. 213 West street. Locked up for trial. Arrest of a Convict.—Officer Munson, of the 6th ward arrested las} night a fellow called John Bryant, an es- caped convict from Blackwell's Island—sent back to his old quarters. The Relief by the Macedonian. Mar. Eprtor :—Knowing your columns are ever open to the cause of benevolence, I would ask the insertion of the following:— Of late, many reports have appeared in the public prints, tending to prejudice poople’s minds, against send- ing contributions by the Macedonian, under the oom- mand of Commodore Dekay, setting forth as an objec- tion, that he would receive freight from the British go- vernment, for provisions carried out by him, to the starving poor of Ireland and Scotland. Such is not the case, nor ix it a money making busi- ness, as some persons would intimate; neither does Commodore Dekay ask. or receive one penny, for his services, of to defray the expenses of bis ship, save what he expends from his own income. Certainly it is difficult for narrow und illiberal minds to uppreciate 80 much feeling and generosity in others-—nor strange is it that a matter of such surprise should e: since in this world people areso apt to form .an estimate of what others would think, and act, by themselves ‘Through such slunders his vessel has been detained from day to day—but for which opposition her errand of mercy would have been now nearly accomplished. It is weil known that the Macedonian was loaned by our government, for the purpose of saving freight; and that sending our contributions by her, takes up- wards of thirty or forty thousand dollars out of the pockets of ship owners, may explain away, many think. much of the difficulties that have arisen. The very men who have made their money by the “poor Irish,” through whose agents they are induced to sell their “little bit of land at home,” and embark beggars for a foreign shore, where, reduced by diseaso and hunger, they ar- rive friendless and desolate, to All our alms houses, and too often made the tools of political purposes. We had much better keep them, at less expenso, on their own shoros, than delay sending them immediate re- lief; and thus, in the heat of summer, bring them in crowds upon the community to support. How can we resist their agonizing appeal, “give us bread or we die,” wafted to us by every breeze across the Atlantic? Erin, land of the brave and warm-hearted, the voice of mourning and desolation fills thy dwellings. Mothers are weeping for their children; and like Rachel. refuse to be comforted, because they are not, ‘Thy green turf is bedewed with ei people's tears—the strong hearts of thy sons bowed and broken. Thousands are dying the most dreadful of all deaths, quick, and fast, and silent, as the fall of autumn’s leaves. Delay no longer, but ar- rest while yet we may, the wing of the destroying angel that overshadows the “Green Isie of the Ocean. in energy and perseverance be not behind Boston, ‘The Macedonian, if filled up and despatched at once. will arrive at 2 time when the supplies she carries will be most needed, and welcomed, and the blessings of those who have been snatched from death will return tenfold to the cheerful giver. Brooklyn was the first to come forward in the cause of suffering humanity; nor will she stop until the work is accomplished that she began. And I trust the gene- rous and benevolent of your city will patronise the con- cert to be given on the 6th of May in Brooklyn, for the relief of Ireland, for which occasion some of the most eminent talent have nobly volunteered their services, ANNA.

There is evidently » disposition among holders of stocks to await further developoments in the financial and com- mercial world before parting with their supplies, Al- though there are movements going on calculated to de- press prices, it cannot be denied, but that the chances are decidedly in favor of an advance, Local causes may depress some of the fancies, but good stocks, those having roal merit, must foel favorably the influence of the existing and daily increasing prosperity in the coun- try generally. There are, however, in the list, some stocks beyond the influence of anything of a favorable character, stocks which must steadily settle down into the lowest depths of bankruptcy, from which the efforts of all the bulls in the street cannot redeem them. ‘Tho banks make their quarterly report for May this week, after which wo may expect a very abundant mo- ney market for a time. day, and next week produce will be coming in with perfect rush, Our spring trade does not get fairly under way until internal navigation is resumed, and we ex- pect, after this week, to seo greater activity in the busi- ness sections of this city, than has been known for seve- ral years. ‘Tho Erie Canal opens on Satur- ‘The receivers of the Plaintleld N.
