: Our Arrangements in Europe—The Expected Steamer. The steamer Hibernia left Liverpool on the fourth of May instant, and is consequently in ber thirteenth day at sea, She will probably arrive in Boston to-morrow or the next day, with twelve days later news than that brought by the Jamestown. Weexpect to receive by her, several highly anteresting letters from Mro. Bennett, descrip- five of the carnival at Rome, and society in Na- ples; and also several from Mr. Bennett, dated from Puris, giving hia views on the condition of he old world i ‘We learn from Mr. Bennett, that during his tour,he has establishod‘an extensive system of cor- Tespondence throughout Europe. Gentle men of talent and cducation in Genoa, Florence, Venice, Berlin, Paris, Havre, London, Rome, St. Peters- burgh, &c., &c., have been engaged as yegular correspondents for the New York Herald.

This is an arrangement which Mr. Bennett has long contemplated, and it was partly for the purpose of carrying it out that he visited Europe. Wecommence in this day’s Herald the publi- ation of some of the letters received from our newly appointed correspondents. We expect to Teoeive several more by the Hibernia. Occean Steam Navigation. The eplendid steamship Washington is com- pleted in all her parse, and wall sail fromm thie port on the firet proximo, with a goodly number of pas gengers, among whom will be the Hon. Richard Rush, our newly appointed Minister to France, several other distinguished gentlemen, and as much freight as she can carry. We haveon a former occasion given a full description of this vessel, and we hope in the coutse of this week to give an account of her sailing qualities, as she will a trial trip to-morrow or next day. The Washington is the pioneer of the first American line, which will consist of four vessels in all, each equal in every respect to the Wash- ington. The building of the second is progressing with due speed, and before the year 1818, all of. them will have been completed and running between this port and Southampton, and Bremen. The first day of June, we have said, is the day fixed for the Washington to sail. On the same day, one of the new French line of steamers willleave Havre for New York. This latter line will also be composed of four vessels; so that these two lines will compose eight vessels plying directly to this port, commencing on the first of next month. After these lines will have been in operation, we shall have the new Cunard line, and the new American line, of which E. K. Col- lins, Esq., ‘is the principal; each of which will be composed of four vessels likewise. These will commence early in the year 1848. RucsyiTuLaTIon.

We hope that the good sense of the people will never permit the dirty polities of the day to enter the courts of justice in thie State. It is our opinion that the result of the election will show the effect of this good sense We shall fill up our list as the nominations are made, in order to give the public a chance to canvass the merits of the candidates. Trape 1x Mexic a pretty good business in Mexico. It will be seen, on refer- ence to aletter from Vera Cruz, given in ano- ther column, that our officers at that port collect- ed, in five days, duties to the amount of $100,- 000. Tur Forrien Mams.—We learn by a tele- graphic despatch from Boston, that all the mails trom New York arrived there in season yester- day, to go in the Caledonia, which ‘sailed at 12 o'clock. The weather was fine. TT trieal, Pan THeatas.—Mr. Axpensox —This popular actor has played during the last week several of his leading characters, such as Claude Melnotte, and Charles, in “The Elder Brother,”” in which all acknowledge he has no superior. He will play to-night and on Tuesday eve- ning. “Macbeth” and “Hamlet.” We have not seen him perform “Macbeth;”” but from his display of power and Total number of steamers. .........+...16 Thus, sixteen steamships will ply regularly between the port of New York and the old world, by which we will have a weekly commu- nieation with England, France and other coun- , independent of the Boston line of four steamers. What would our ancestors have said if they had beew told that the old world and the new, would, in the year 1847, be brought #0 close to each other as this, aad that the time would come when we could reckon to an hour on the arrival ofa vessel making a voyage of three thousand five hundred miles over an ocean? Yet it will be done when these lines are in operation. Passgp Mipsutpman Roorrs.—We have been waiting anxiously for some months, to hear of the release of the accomplished young officer, whove name stands at the head of this paragraph Our readers will recollect, that he was one of the gallant spirits, who, when attached to the ill fated Somers, intrepidly cut out, and burned un- der the very guns of the castle of S. Juan de Ulfa, the armed schooner Creole. A few days afterwards, while engaged in a hazardous but Very importent duty, of reconnoitering the beighborhood of the city of Vera Cruz, he was taken prisoner; and the last we have beard of him was, that he was sent to the castle of Pe- rote for confinement. Since then we know of upwards of 10,000 men, and several hundreds of officers, prisoners to our army and navy, who have been immediately released—but, strange to say, no provision has been made for the safety or release of this most va- luable young gentleman, whose devotion to the service endears him to his fellow-citizens, as much as his amiability and private worth to hie personal friends. We hope there has been no neglect on the part of those in authority, in relation to this matter. Perhape this noble young man, descended from a patriotic family of Dela- ware, of revolutionary memory, may be languish- ing in a dungeon, when on every principle of exchange and the usage of war, he should be re- stored to usefulness and his country. P. 3. According to our Washington corres- pondent, the Hon. Mr. Mason, the Seeretary of the Navy, has sent instructions to Com. Perry relative to Midshipman Rogers, and we hope that the good intention of the Secretary will result in the speedy release of that gallant young officer. Mixitary Movements.—The brig Mobile, with a detachment of United States troops, under com- mand of Capt. W. R. Andrews, 10th Infantry, U.S. A., sailed yesterday for Point Isabel. This ie the brig that returned on Monday last, to repair injuries received in being run into by the steam cutter Legaré. The destination of the dragoons which were on board the brig at her first starting, having been changed from Point Isabel to Vera Cruz, they are to hold themselves in readiness to embark at an hour’s notice, upon wome veesel bound for that place The last detachment of the 10th regiment, with Col. Temple and officers, will leave on Mon- day next inthe ship Kepublic, for Point Isabel. The health of the officers and men vow at the fort, and that of those who have recently left, 1s excellent. The eca voyage will renovate them, and place them in fine spirits to withstand the ‘warm weather of the season, at the time of their arrival in Mexico. | Meztixe or Common Covnci.—The new Cemmon Council hold their first regular meeting this @veuing. We may, therefore, expect to ob- ‘ain an “aspect” of their fature course. It iw supposed, of course, that a number of ap- | potntments and reappointments will be attended to. The proceedings of each board, it is pre- sumed, will be of considerable interest, more er- pecially #0 to sundry hungry applicants for office. It is to be hoped that what changes are to be the qualities of acting that he has shown, we venture to predict an entire success. In compass of voice, in fine declamation, in physical energy, in high wrought pas- sion, he excels; and this isa wide field for their exercise, At an early period of the play. ambition has takon hold of the nature of Macbrth—he is wholly sed by it Superstition and all its mighty agencies follow the mysterious predictions of the witches sound in his exr—these lead to horrors and to crimo—to usurpation of the crown succeed scenes of blood; and during en- ergy. dread, remorse aud desperation end his career. Such is the character of ‘Macbeth.’ We shall take great interest in the development of Mr. Anderson's vowers in this character, and shall comment ou it here- after. The deep, pervading melanchol; Hamlet. his philosophic musings, his bold,impulaive nature, his irresolute purgeses, his feverish and disordored state of mind, the solemn communings of his spirit, the myste- rious veil thrown over it, the wild and biting sarcastic thoughts that fall from him, render this character one of the most difficult, yet interesting, in the range of the drama. We doubt not Mr.- Anderson will do it justice, and display that discrimination, study aud energy of action, which are the characterics of his acting, and for which he bas attained a just celebrity. Bowsay Tusatar.—The new tragic drama of “Witch- craft,” or the “Martyr's of Salem,” written by an American gentleman, and founded on incidents on the history of Massachusetts, will be performod here this evouing, Mr. Murdooh and Mrs. Wilkinson taking the principal characters. The ‘Trumpeter's Daughter.’? and the “Alpine Maid’ will conclude the evening's amusements. Ma. Acesanpen tue Maaician.—This extraordinary man will give the whole of bis receipts to-night for the benefit of the Now York Samaritan Sooiety. us an ac- knowledgement of the fattering patronage he has re- ceived in this city.

Cuanity Coxcent.—The Italian Opera Company will give a grand concert to-morrow evening, in the Apollo Saloon, for the bonefit of « worthy fumily in distress The famo of this company, and the occasion, will draw one of the largest audiences of the season. Cunutr’s Mixereis.—This band enter upon their twolfth week, this evening. Their performances are amusing and interesting, particularly their burlesques of the Swiss Bell Ringers. ‘hey will hold forth at Me- ebanie's Hall, 472 Broadway. Deurscne Lizornenanz.—The German Song Union will give thelr first annual concert at the Apollo Saloon this evening. Sporting intelligence Centagvitte Covnse, L.

Tue Ameatoay and Foreton Sanaarn Usiow oole- brated their anniversary, last evening, at the Reformed Dutch Church, in Lafayette Place ; ou which occasion the Rev. Dr. Hopkins, President o fWilliams College, de- liveredj an able and eloquent discourse “ On the impor- tance of observing the Sabbath in securing the purity and permanence of free institutions.”” ‘The reverend speaker having taken his text from the 68th chapter of the Prophet Isaiah, 13th and 14th verses, proceeded to show that we were commanded to keep holy the Sabbath day, and, in the languago of that distinguished novelist, Sir Walter Scott, although aman of the world, contended that the Sabbath was instituted for the express purpose of religious exercises, and that, om that day, we were forbid to work our own works, and think our own thoughts; that breaking the Sabbath, or, in other words, neglecting to observe it religiously, was the first manifestation of our indifference to socure the purity and permanency of our feve institutions; that as a proof of thia we need look no farther than the rabble, or disorderly portion of our community ; do they observe the Sabbath day? By no means ; for were all the members of the human family to worship God aright, we should have no rabble. No ‘That a certain space of each week if to be umployed in religious duty—that in the Roman Catholic church it was deemed consistent na to attend religious service during # portion of the Sabbath-day, and then spend the rest in such a manner as best suited them, lwaving it to the priests to do whatever else may be gon- sidered necessary for the working out of their salvation ; but that this was not Protestant ebureh doctrine, although it may be sometime imitated byProt-stant churches; that be gn nd observance of the Sabbath secures a perpetuity of free institutions, because it brings about u right State of mind towards the divine government; it makes an individual a good citisen, and a pillar of strength— that religion would humble the rich, and exalt the poor; that the Sabbath was (iod's institution for training the moral nature of man. and that nothing could be more beautiful or sublime than to see the whole human race kneel together at the feet of Jeaus—that then fraud and oppression would cease—that it was our duty as good citisens to use our influence im placing in power such men only who would. as far as possible, enforce s moral and religious observance of the Sabbath. the true course 00 pursue to subserve the cause of God, aud the best in- terests of man—that when it is taken Into consideration that in some ef the southern cities the Sabbath is scarce- ly observed, while there is a prodigious foreign popula- ton of the most degraded character coming amongat us, and unless something be done speedily to counter- balance the influence that will be thus effeeted. we yield to a complete overthrow of our free institutions, “nd the political and moral elements will be such as this world hus never yet witnessed. In conelusion, the re ud speaker prayed to God that the Sabbath sun, returned, might look down upon the hills of New ngland and prairies of the West. united in prayer and cred praise, and that we shall secure the purity and permanency of free institutions. Ly Intetligence, Tarn Weatmea.—We had 8 very agreeable change in the weather yesterday, which was extremely fine. Our cltlaens seenied to enjoy the day good deal: and Ho- boken, Staten Island, and the immediate suburbs. were phrengea with visiters. A few fine days are due to us just now. ‘We observed yesterday in the ey City ferry, one of the fraternity who of boot polishing, busily engaged in his vocation, and picking up the conts as quickly as he could give “the polish complete” to his customers, This trade would appear to be a igo tre one, as several of the fashionable loungers on the wharves gaye him a call, en route. New Buitpinos.—There has been a good deal of animation in the building line, in this city. for the last fow weeks,and several old buildings have fallen under the hammer and crow-bar of the mechanic and the laborer, in various parts of the olity. A whole block of old wooden shanties in the vicinity of Centre Market, have been cleared away, and new buildings will soon replace them—even old Grace Church has at last been con- signed to the “Tomb of the Capulets—being now nearly pulled down. Several houses in Broadway. some apparently good buildings, in Wall street, a range of wretched looking old shanties near Pearl, that were adjoining the“Five Points,” and indeed, several of the old and miserable shantiva tbat have long beon an eye sore in some of our prineipal streets and thoroughfares. have been pulled down This spirit of improvement {s growing gradually with the immense growth of our city, and we have no doubt, from present indications, That the number of new buildings being erected. or to be erected during the present summer. will exceed that of former years, This speaks highly for the enterprise and industry of our citise: Tus“ Stcver Powis” Man.—The passengers on the Jersey City ferry boats cannot but huve remarked a little, cunning-looking. swarthy-countenance, and curi- ously-formed nose individual, who frequents them for the purpeseof selling “ the greatest article ever invint- ed’ for converting copper pennies, “no matter how old or black they may be.” into real silver balf dollars. It is unnecessary to say a ryliable about this genius for their edification, because it would be a work of supererogation. ‘They know him as well as we do. and have no doubt tried the merits of his patent silver polishing power, which pooeeeaeper say is “the greatest thing ever in- vinted for cleaning all manner of block tin and plated ware, cruets, castors, pots and canisters. with di- rections on the back for use.” To such, however, as have not had the pleasure of seeing this patent-silver- polish genius, it may be as well for us to give ashort de- scription of his personal appearance, and of the manner in whieh he * polishes” his customers. * We will premise that he can be eeoguined ensily by peculiar partiality that he evinces for countrymen. Whenever he sees @ broad-leafed white hat. with a Jer- sey cut on it. he willelbow his way through the crowd. and stick the wearer of said broad-leafed white hat with 4 box of polish, as surely as that individual was bora — But to our hero's persoual appearance —commencing at his capital extromity, we shall follow him down to the pedals Our character for truth and accuracy is « guar- anty that we shall “nought extenuate or aught in malice #tdown” The hat is bad, decidedly bad, but it has the remains of former gentility and goodness about it— what the hat covers and protects, is in shape like a cocoa nut. The countenance attached to it is rather a re- markable one. You can read in all the strongly marked features that the owner of it “knows a thing or two,” and tnat the man who ean get ahead of him fa business, or stick bim witha bad quarter, must get up extremely carly. The nose is the prominent feature. By its ap- pourance, one would suppose that rome despoiler of beauty had attacked it, with the determination of fllat- te ng it, but was interrupted and compelled to abandon the job, and leave it half dove. The shoulders are round. ~-the body «mall, and presenting no remarkable point— but the coat with which that body is covered, is the most remarkable garment for the covering of the nether man that wo ever saw. There is nothing very striking about the remainder of his person, except the feet, which are unusually small and neat. From his whole Qppesrance, you wonld judge that the silver polish man was ® sharp, cunning, business driving, “no you don’t” sort of a fellow, who knew his rights, and would have them. So much for the personal appearance of the silver polish man, In the wuy of business he is something like Smith, the celebrated ragor strop man—fully as shrewd, and fully as ianportunate to dixpose of his wares, When the enxbins of the boat are filled he glides in slowly and his observations. Wherever he sees three or four conversing together. ho plants himself by their nd taking out an old whitish-reddish handkerchief and’ a package of allver pow oxex, he holds forth in mueh tha following style eutlemen, [looking around him,) I have got here the greatest article ever invinted.

Itis sold at the low price of 19 cents, with a ions on the back fur using.”’ Having relieved him- self in this way, he then takes a handful of coppers out of his pocket, and proceeds to polish oue by spitting on it, and applying the powder, which he rubs in with his thumb. ‘Aher this, he takes the old hand! gives the finishing touch—then holds the poli wloft in exultation, and repeats that the powder" Ir cents per box, and, as housekeepers say, is the best article ever invinted, ke. kc."’ The polished copper is then placed on the floor opposite to him, and he recom- mences sounding the virtues of his polish.

Iron Steamsmr Auton We availed our- selves, a few days since, of an opportunity to visit this vessel with several of our citizens, in eom- pany with the inventor and commander. Capt. Hunter, ‘Through his politeness and that of the officers on duty, ample facilities were afforded not only to gratify the curiosity, but to enlighten the judgment of the unprofer§ sional landsman, as regards her adaptation and capa- city to subserve the ends aimed at in her construction. In the plan of the Alleghany, it is expected that there will be presented a perfect war sailing ship, combined with the capacity of being used as a war steamer, equal in speed, when under steam only. to the best ocean steamers now afloat—carrying as much fuel as they, and possessing the incalculable advantage of having her en- tire steam machinery perfectly protected against the possibility of damage by the fire of an enemy. Nay more—with & heavier battery, she will draw less water, and be enabled to enter all harbors accessible to large merchant vessels, thus combining with the character of the war vessel, carrying the thunder of our guns over every sea, that of the armed coaster, qualifed to pursue and destroy the enemy in retreats where he would br safe from any other vessel of her woight of metal. The tonnage of the Alleghany is 1,156 tons, Her draught | of water, light, is 11 feet 6 inches; deep and fully equip- ped, only 13 feet. ‘The depth of war on the bar at the mouth of the Mississippi is always full 15 foet. It is_perceived, therefore, that she can not at all times enter our Southern harbors, now shut to our war yeesela for want of water, but enter and ascend the Mississippt with perfect easo and safoty. But our readers must not inter from this, that the Alleghany {sa sort of pop-gun ship, that an enemy of heavy weight of metal might encounter with impu- | nity She carries four sixty-four pound Paixban guns, on pivots, and is plerced for six thirty. two's, making in The four 64-pounders being on gvots, are lable in any direction, and being of such, heay | metal, will do full exeoution at « range where the broad- ide of the largest ships of war would be perfectly harm- | loss. ‘The Allegh@hy. therefore, will be perfectly compe- | tent to encounter with success the largest sailing ship | that floats, Being equal. if not superior. in speed as a mere sailer, by the use of her steam power—which. as | before stated. is entirely protocted—she may take just | what position she chooses, and, being out of teach of the enemy's shot, riddle ber adversary at “long taw.”— Most of our readers, we presume, are aware that the | Plan by which Captain Hunter expects to preserve the suiling qualities of his steam veascl is chiefly by the use | of the submerged horizontal wheel, the buckets of which oan be shut up at will, leaving the side of the vessel emooth, and with the same general oontour as in & sailing ship. 1 hose wheels. and tho entire machinery, as before stated, ure no far below the water line as to be out of the way of shot It the Alleghany, in her per- formancws, rbull fultil the expectations formed of her as stated ubove, the most prejadiced or ineredulons will be compelled to admit that she is the best and most perfect war ship {n the world. —Memphie Enquirer, April 24, Dr. Wood's Sarsay and Biter, ‘Wud Cherry all the sanatrve qualities of th ; 98 of the most the Materia Medica, ed with edad puts, farnah ie ‘alcat aud most feces ea mdicige for ee bstruetion of the scribable complaint—Herofel y an ol stressing and almost inde- i 4 teut whea ihe uewous are varisbse=Pimmjfes on the Trew achich e a ‘neconnt of their unsightie. appesre he Sold wi wre er offered Fulton suvet ; at 192 Broad id 3H i! gy ay] fe my, a 1 Bleecker pireet, hendache, plies, ke hes esate und retail by.

MONEY MARKET. Sunday, May 16-6 P. M. The principal movement in the stock market during the past week has been in Reading bonds and stock, and the fluctuations have been to some considerable extent. Upon the announcement that a bill had been filed for an injunction and receiver, there was a very rapid fall in the bonds and shares; but a reaction took place after a decline of several per cent had been realized, and the previous point was nearly recovered. Since, prices have been stoudily settling down, and the real influence of the contemplated exposé beging to be felt. It makes very little difference what the cause and origin of a move- ment similar to that made within the last week in Reading is; timid holders cannot renew their confi- dence, and the securities find their way into the market toa considerable extent. There are, undoubtedly, ma- ny who havesufficient confidence inthe solvency of the company, to hold large amounts of its stock and bonds for speculative purposes, and there are, doubtless, some who have confidence enotigh in it to hold for invest- ment; but there are many who anticipate a very heavy fall both in the bonds and in the stock, and cannot be induced to hold either. Tho solvency of the Reading Railroad Company hav- ing been questioned, and measures having been taken to settle that question by a legal process, we would suggest to the company the policy of anticipating the movo- ments of the court, and bring about an immediate mination or exposition of its affairs. It is due to the creditors of the company, that the charges made should be promptly met, and, if possible, refuted. Stocks generally, the past week, have been in moderate demand, aud prices have been pretty uniform. Govern- ment and State stocks are steadily advancing, and there appoars to be a growing disposition to abandon the fan- cles, and invest in more solid sccuriti Amidst the improvement going on in the sound State stocks, other securities which have heretofore been considered almost worthless, have advanced both in real and market value. ~ The annexed table exhibits the quotations in this market for the principal speculative stocks for each day of the past week, and at the close of the week previous.

Sales of Reading have been made during the week as low as 64% per cent, on long time, veller’s option. An election for directors of the Harlem Railroad Com- pany, takes place on Tuesday, the 19th instant, and we lourn that speculators in the stock are making great ef forts to chango the old board, and by the clection of a new board, to bring in # new President. They anticl- pate a favorable influence upon the market value of the stock by such change, no matter how temporary it may be, and an opportunity to realize at better prices, after which the Interests of the road generally will be left to take caro of themselves, Stockholdors interested inthe progress of the road, those who look more to the ultimate value of their stock, as an investment, than to a temporary advance of two or three per cent, must act very cautiously, and wo would recommend them to sus- tain the present President, rather than to make any ex- periments with any individual, whose ability and capa- city for the duties of that position are unknown.— The improvement in the affairs of the company, within the past two yoars, is the best evidence of Mr. Dykers efficiency and fitness for the office he s0 ably fills. The ceonomy he has exercised in all its ex- penditures of the company, exhibits a talent particu. larly necessary in the present condition of the finances; and from an intimate knowledge of his offorts, in connee- tion with the directors, to build up and sustain the crodit of the company, under the most adverse ciroum- stances, we are of opinion that any chango would be an injudicious one, We give this for the benefit of those stockholders who hold for investment, Speculators have no permanent interest in any st6ck. ‘They have no other object in view than an immediate Inflation or depression in prices, and their actions are regulated en- tirely by the positions they may for the time occupy. We do not know who the other candidate for tho Prosi- dency of this company tx, and we do not caro; if the stookholders do not know when they have 8 good Prest- dent, it Is necessary for some one to tell them, and we have taken the liberty of doing so. If they govern thomselves accordingly, they will onojof those days thank us for the advice.

Since May, 1845, the increase in the line of discounts has been $6,542,147, in specie $3,198,847, circulation $4,298,010, and in deposits, $7,873,987, The Paper issues of the banks of this Stato on the lst of May, were about double the amount of spocie on hand, showing two dollars in paper in circulation for one in specie onhand. Thisis a decided improvement since May, 1845, at which time the proportion of specie on hand to paper in circulation was as one to two and a half. We wish to see a much greater restriction in the ag- grogate circulation of paper money in the country than has yet taken place, So far as this State is concerned, it will do very well, but inthe most of the other States, there {s a greater disproportion between the specie on hand and paper in circulation, than is proper for the Preservation of a sound currency. The unexampled prosperity of every domestic interest of the country, we attribute entirely to the absence of speculation, every speculative movement has been checked in its incipient stages, by the restrictions imposed upon the currency, A farther reduction in the volume of the currency would produce a further improvement in com- mercial affairs; it does not yet come near enough to the standard of other countries ; we want such restric- tions placed upon our banking institutions ay will give us currency equal in value to tha: of those countries with which we trade, befire we can successfally compete with all nations in prices.or before we oan bring the ost of pro- ductions in this country down tos point low enough to onable us to export more largely to foreign oountries, and shut out more effeotually the productions of other _ parts of the world, $5000 U B 6's, 56 1000 ‘000 jotes 2000 Kentucky 6's 7000 La Seis jonds a 1000 Ohio 6's '56 Le oO 50 Fe on 690 lo ” do 10000 Indiz io oe | 000 do" 430 738 S0Nor ’'WorRR 34 2000 Reading Bonds 7132 300°" do Es 7000 do 7” 150 bio 5 1100 Reading Mge Bas * 250 b30 56!
