ARREST OF A BATCH OF ALCALDES. Extract ofa letter from an officer at Monterey, dated 20th April, 1847 :— “We hear to-day from San Luis, that nearly all the troops have left there, taking the direction of Mexico and Vera Cruz. The line of Gen, Santa Anna’s retreat is marked by dead bodies for sixty leagues. All is quict in this quarter, Col. Doniphan is expected in Saltillo in a few days with his column from Chihuahua, Urrea bas probably recrossed the mountains. Maj. Chevallie went in of him as far as Monte Morales, but he had left there. The Major, however, came near fastening upon Carrabajal; he fell in with his party, dispersed them, and captured some of his horses. *We are informed verbally, that at Cadureya he pounced upon sixty aleal- des. who had,collected there from various towns through- out the State of Tamaulipas, to discuss, the propriety of acceding to the requisition of Gen. Taylor, made upon the State, for indemnity for losses sustained in the cap- ture of his supplies and trains. ‘The whole batch of al- caldes were made prisoners, and a deputation frem them sent under guard to Gen. Taylor to assure him of the conclusions they had arrived at from their deliberations, and what prospect there was of a speedy payment. The rest were held in custody until answer was received from Gen, Taylor. From the same source we also hear that Chevalli¢ fell in with a chief, whose name is given to us as Col. Torrejon—killed thirty of his men, and took him prisoner. We think there must be a mistake in the name of the officer, us ‘Torrejon is understood to be on the other side of the mountains. THE CAPTURE OF TUSPAN. Tusran, April 21, 1847. On the morning of the 12th of April, the squadron, (Bell and Brewn,) left the island of Sacrificios, ‘in tow of the Missisgppi, and started for Lobos, where we arrived on the afternoon of the next day. At the anchorage we found the Germantown and bomb vessels. Soon after wards, the Raritan, Albany, and John Adams arrived; the Ohio did not join us, but sent a detachment of 300 men, commanded by Captain Goldsborough. We got under way on the morning of the 1éth, but, owing to light breezes, we were not able to start for Tuspan until late in the day—a delay,however, very acceptable to most of us, as we had made out a sail in sight to be the Decatur, and we knew thatjas she was from Pensacola, she would bring the mail. We were not disappointed; that evening the Commodore distributed the lettters, of which I received a goodly number, and a regular file of the Herald,a welcome gift,which none but those who hive served on a foreign station can appreciate. The night of the 15th alight norther came up, which blew until the succeeding night; consequently it was not until the forenoon of the 17th, that we ancored outside the ber of Tuspan, During theday, the bar was carefully examined by boats from the Mississippi. Enough water not being found for the steamers, we were ordered along side the frigate Raritan, when they hoisted out cur masts, took out most of our chains, and every other heavy article we could spare; leaving us but u small quantity of coal to run up the river with. Ats o'clock on the morning of the 18th, we prepared to cross the bar; but owing to the delay in getting such a number of men into the boats, we were not ready to move until meridian. ‘The pilot took first the Spitfire, which struck once in going over; the Vixen followed, striking hard at the same place; the Scourge next, and then the boats pulledin. When we were inside the bar, the Commodore hoisted hig flag on board the Spitfire, and with the first division of boats in tow, started up the river, followed closely by the Vix- on with the second division, and the Scourge with the third. The engineers, In their eagerness for « fight, had prepared full heads of steam, and impelled by the full force of thelr engines, (Bell & Brown, you remember why the Musquito squadron is so called,) the gallant little steamers started once more on their route of A fine breeze blew up the river, and the gun boats di with their sails alone. How earnestly the gaze of every one was directed ahead on both sides, as we turned tho sharp windings in the rivor, but no hostile demonstra- tion was discovered. Has theenemy fled? Wait, we are le in the stream. What is that? a flash! @ report! we know it well. A shot strikes harm- lesaly in the water short of the approaching force. They have not fi yy defend their posts. A cheer welcomed this «pecimen of Mexican valor. Tho voice of the Commander is heard—“Hold your fire until within good range—now let them have it!” ‘The whole line is en- veloped in smoke—the fort answers—another shot, grape and canister, and drive them from their guns. Cast of the boats,land and storm the battery. The grape is well de- livered and answered too, but the boats approach the base of the hillon which the guns are mounted—the foremost boat has a pendant flying in the bow,the officer is standing inthe stern sheets, urging on his gallant crew to greater exertions—it is Buchanan! He is in the bow now, for his boat nears the shere, his pendant a flying from the neck of a boarding pike, isin his hand ‘He waves it above his head, and leaps ashore, followed by his brave men. The hill’ is mounted in haste—the battery cap- tured—the Mexican colors struck, and the stars and stripes wave triumphantly Again’ we are under way; another fort opens—“fire” two rounds, and they open a heavy discharge of musketry. A charge of cannister and stand of grape to help them on their way! Ha! ha! see how they acamper! And now the town opens before uus—something also opens on us from o high hill—it is their last bold—a single gun. Whiza! the shot struck immediately astern of the Vixen. ‘The boats that were at the first fort have crossed the river, and are pulling up to land. “Stop the engine; wait for the boata, but do not back an inch.” Fire away! another shot—do you hear that—it has struck the Vixen on the bow, under water. “Down, carpenter, below—shot plug—w he soon take the town, and then we will repair at our leisure." ‘The boats are gaming up — reac! sum!

ARRIVAL FROM CHIHUAHUA. ‘From the New Orleans Picayune, 11th May.) jor Campbell, of Springfield, Mo., with Mr. Gerry, (a Laplede Hanger, discharged in’ consequence of sicks -ness,) and thirty men and Lave oi teamsters, arrived c morning from , by way of Red River.

On the Sth of they passed through a Camanche village, and thor they made presents to the Indians, indications of hostility were perceived. That night, as they were camping on the prairie, torches were seen on their track, and they took to the saddle again. Continuing to ride until the torches were lost sight of, they encamped in ravi d next morning started at dawn, About 10 o’clock they were pressed closely by a y of forty or fifty Camancbes, finely mounted; and fe company had nothing but mules; worn out by a ch of seven or eight hundred miles, it was impossible either to escape by flight or pursue the enemy—so the whole party dismounted, and formed for battle at the edge of a chaperral. In this position the Indians surrounded them; but manifesting no disposition to attack, it was supposed they intended. wait ing for reinforcements, and it was deemed advisable to fight their way through. This was accomplished without any injury to the company, with the exception of a rlight wound received by one of the men; four or five of the Indians were wounded. ‘The Indians, now satisfied that any further attempt upon the party would be rather a serious affair, wheeled their horses about, and were not seen after. They were armed with bows and arrows and lances, and four or five of them had rifles. ‘The company were all armed with rit After this the company lost ‘their track several times, and for two weeks before they arrived at the settlements lived entirely upon mule meat. Gerry heard a rumor | that « party of Camanches, « short time before they met them, had stolen a large mumber of horses from Co! station, on the Red River, and that in doing so two three men were killed, and several wounded. When the company left Chihuahua, Col, Donipban’s army was in the enjoyment of excellent health. The climate in that part of Mexico is deligh tful,'and provi- sions are abundant. Col.

A small division of a force which during lust summer marched across the western plains to conquer New Mexico, after the conquest of that territory, it was ordered to report to a large force in Chihuahua, which it was supposed bad taken possession of that State, where its services might be required. But instead of finding the star spangled banner of its nation waving over thecity, proclaiming the conquest of the state, instead of finding five thousand countrymen to welcome its approach, it found the black flag of the pi- rate waving in defiance, and nearly that number of ene- mies, saluting it by the roar of their cannon. We know these facts’; but in vain you would turn over the pages of history for a parallel to the campaign, which this army has thus far concluded, it were but proper, the opportunity presenting itself, that the stout and gallant hearts who voluntarily embarked in that unsafe and arduous enterprise for their country’s glory, should find a slight testimonial of their patriotism at’ time, when the scenes they have passed through are yet fresh in our memories and unobliterated by minor events of later date.

The next arrival will, in all probability, bring us the news of the attack of the castle of San Juan de Ulin by the naval forces of the United States. The American government has finally determined to make the attempt, after having, for a long time, hesitated to entrust this enterprize (the importance of which makes it evident that it ought to have been one of its first efforts) to the aquadron in the Gulf of Mexioo, the previous efforts of which -have been attended with but little success, and now seck by this brilliant stroke to eclipse the insignifi- cant aggressions against the various small ports on the Mexican coast to which they have hitherto confined themselves, Grand preparations have been made for this operation, which, howevor, was but an off-hand af- fair to our navy; and there is no doubt but that the fear of failing in an enterpriso which the French navy demonstrated to be an easy one, has caused the United States government to hesitate considerably from the first, and to take the great precaution that it has in or- der to ensure success. It will not, perhaps, bo uninteresting at this moment, when the Americans are about to undertake this work, to institute a comparison betweon the French forci which caused the capitulation of S, Juan d’Ulua, a1 those of the United States, which have assembled before Vera Cruz, to attack this fortress, which they still per- sist in calling the Gibraltar of the new world. The squadron, commanded by Admiral Baudin, con- tistod of four frigates, three corvettes, five twenty gun brigs, two bomb ketehes, and two steamers, in all twen- ty vessels, carrying some 380 guns. ‘Three frigates, one corvette, and the two bomb ketches were the only ones that took part in the action, which commenced at two o'clock in the afternoon, and terminated at night by the surrender of the place, the principal batteries of which had been silenced. and its chief works destroyed. Tho American force at present before Vera Cruz is the largest force which the United States have ever yet assembled before one single place, and consists in all of thirty light vessels of war, carrying in all 305 guns, of which several are Paixhans. It consists of the follow- ing, via : one 74 gun ship, the Ohio; two frigates; the Potomac, ns; and the Raritan, 62; six 20 gun cor vettes; the John Adams, St. Mary’s, Germantown, Alba- ny, Decatur, and Saratoga ‘Iwo 10 gun brigs. the Porpoise, and Perry, twelve steamers, of which the Mis- sissippi and Princeton carry Paixhan guns, five bomb ketohes, and ten schooners, or sloops, carrying from 2 to 6 guns In addition to this warlike array the American go- vernment has taken into its service a considerable num- ber of merctiant vessels, both steam and sailing, for the transportation of the troops, which make part of the ex- pedition under General Scott, who is to attack the town of Vera Cruz by land, under the orders of ehe squadron. This branch consists of seventy ships, fifty-six brigs and eleven steamers, which makes an aggregate of 176 sail of all kinds, which have all directly or indirectly the same objeot in’ view, vis: the reduction of Vera Cruz and its fortress ‘As & matter of course the American government found great hopes on the success of such an imposing array, the equal to which they have never bad previously in the naval historyjof the nation. We doubt, however, whether the result pay the enormous expenses which these preparations must have cost. Not that we for one moment doubt that the American navy will fil inan en- terprise in which our navy, with ruc fimited means suc- ceeded so brilliantly, but because there is every reason to believe that all this costly preparation will be rendered useless by thet inefficiency of the resistance they will meet with.” Already the evacuation of Vera Cruz has given over this city without » blow to General Scott who will only have collected a large force at a great ex- ense, from a distance of two hi leagues from the North to take possession of an abandoned town. It is highly probable that being cut off from its communica- tion with the interior, the castle of San Juan de Ulua will surrender at the first summons, amd by such a too easy victory, the American flag will be deprived of the flor of afeatot arms for which the French navy is Justly envied commander, Sreampoar Exrrosion—Sixteen Lives Lost. m —The Cincinnati Gazette of the dth instant, learns by the officers of the Gen.

It is stated, on what some deem pretty good authority, that the Mexicans have applied for the medi n ‘of England to settle the war with the United States. If this be true, they begin to show some symptoms of good sense. But we cannot see what England can accomplish, unless it be to induce Mexico to open negotiations with us. Apart from this, we desire no mediation from any European power. We can take care of ourselves; but if the English have any in- fluence in Mexico, they will probably exert it to stop the war, in order to stop the subjugation of the whole of our Southern neighbor by our peo- ple. It is apparent that England and France can- not, in their present condition, interfere in force in the war; it will, therefore, be their policy to prevent us, if they can, from overrunning Mexico, and bringing it under our exclusive protection. They may in a quiet way strive to accomplish this. Notes of a Trip in Italy, by Mrs. J. 6. B, Napies, 28th Mareh, 1847. I am now writing to you from Naples, with my window open, and in a summer-dre: Ihave a beautiful suite of apartments in the V toria Hotel, facing the bay. Don’t tell me of your American skies—nothing can equal the sky here. At this moment that I write to you, never have I seen any thing to equalit. I know you cannot believe that, because you think nothing can compete with America in ‘any way. The bay, decidedly, is not superier to the bay of New York, though they generally say it is; butreally I do not think it so. The variety of scenery, with the exception of Vesuvius, is not near so great nor so picturesque ; but the sky, that nothing can equal. In no part of Italy have I seen it so beautiful as here. It may be, very likely, that the reflection of the water does much in producing that effect. In the rear of the hotel, they are very busy watching a balloon which is about ascending, with a man in it, and I have desired them to call me when it is all ready; but I can hardly write for the noise. It really appears as if all Naples were in the street, such a concourse of people riding and promenading ; every day here al- most looks like a jour de féte. ‘The. Italians seem to live to enjoy themselves. The Neapoli- tans area very happy sort of people, and very proud of their city, and certainly,it is very beau- tiful; but there is nothing in architecture, nor sculpture, nor painting, that can compare with Rome ; yet the city itself is every way, I should think, more agreeable as a place of residence than Rome. The air seems more pure; not so confined. Nothing can exceed the coup d’@il of Naples on every side which you regard it from. The Toledo is the principal street here, but the streets are narrow, like all Italian streets. The Toledo is the largest, and about a mile in length. The houses are about six stories high, and all have balconies and flat roofs, in the form of ter- races, which they use generally as a sort of pro- menade. I am called to see the baloon ascend. I must go and see it, and finish this letter to-morrow. I saw the baloon ascend, and the man’s wife called round to get money from the lookers on in the hotel, and, as Mr. Polk, the ambassador remarked, “to see her husband killed”—but what would not Italians do for money ?—and sure enough he came very near it, for in about a cou- ple of hours afterwards, I saw him from my parlor window, by the aid of my glass, seated very com- fortably, or rather uncomfortably, in the midst of the bay, waiting until a boat picked him up; and if they had been but five minutes later, he would have been lost. It was very well he was not landed in the burning crater of Vesuvius; he was very near it. Apropos, talking of Mr. Polk. Ihave met him; he is very much liked here as ambassador, and is considered quite an accom- plished and gentlemanly man, as every person who knows him must acknowledge. He is very attentive to Americans who come here, and thinks there is no place like the United States. You will agree with him in that. He saye, he devours the Herald when it comes, because it gives information of what is going on there. He is called the handsome ambassador. I went to the San Carlos last night; it is as you are aware, the finest theatre in Europe. It was built by Charles III, in 1737. The front bears the names of the most celebrated Italian composers and dramatic poets, and is ornamented with co- lumns and statues. There are six tiers of boxes, and these boxes will contain twelve persons each. The royal box is most sumptuous. I have not seen any thing to compare with it in any theatre. The music was not of the best—the opera was Due Foscari, which I have heard was so well executed in Paris by Grisi and Mario. I went yesterday to see Pompeii, and I shall give you an account of it in a future letter,” as I have no time now, for I am about pre- paring to go up Vesuvius to-day. I shall stay up there till moonlight, and thus view it in its glory, as night is the best time to see it. I shall give you an account of my ascent in my next, which I expect, from all [ hear, will be very interesting; the descent is amusing. I have some amusing engravings, which I will send you or bring myself; they will make you die with laughter. On my way here, I saw the ruins of Cicero’s Villa, and got a piece of his money, and eat some of the delicious oranges growing in front of it. He was assassinated near to it, when escaping in a litter from the fury of Mark Antony. It was very interesting to look and see the room in which that great man was wont to repose. 1 passed also through the town of Fondi, ce- lebrated for the beauty of its women. It was once destroyed by a Turkish fleet, the com- mander of which wanted to carry off Julia Countess of Fondi, who was fumous for her beauty. The celebrated Appian Way form: one of the principal streets ; but any thing like the beggars I never saw in my life; they are so lazy, that they actually will not take the trou- ble to come down to ask for charity, but stretch their hands out of the window, and hollow most unmercifully at you—‘*Oh! for the love of the Virgin, give us something.

Irautax Orena.— Lombardi” was performed last nightat Palmo’s to a.good house. ‘The manner of Barili’s reception showed most conclusively in what estimation she was held by the audience, and how they were pleased at her’ recovery from her late indisposition.

Much might be said of the performance of each one of the company who took part in the opera. It was an excellent performance all through, Beneventano sang sweetly, yet powerfully as he can 60 well, and only like himself. ie was well received; some of his performances encored, and all applauded roundly. He must be well remembered on Saturda: evening next, when as all his friends know, his benefit will take place. Benedetti, too; if we mention him last , itis by no means because hisémerits were least. His songs in the second scene of the second act, seemed to be executed with more than his own usual brilliant talent, and the audience would not be satisfied until he had repeated them. The admiration of the whole assemblage was brought out by him in those passages, ich are translated. “My happiness I would diffuse, Into her noble heart— And to her spirit with my love More blessed peace More harmony than to t Of starry light is given : And then, where mortal never passed, 1’4 rise with her to Heaven.” And then, when he declares to his mother, his almost conversion :— “ Oh, my mother, Already have | often thought in my heart, That time alone, the creed must be Of this angel of love. For how could Heaven create So pure a being, And yet not from her eyes remove ‘The veil that conceals truth! Come, I will go to her, And enlighten my mind. Come, and let truth decide Between reason and love, At the end of the third act,zafter tho curtain had fallen, the audienco called for their entertainers, and the drop was raised again, while Barili, Benedetti, and Beneventano, came forward to receive the plaudits which they had so richly won, Herz and Sivori were at Memphis last week, and the lovers of music were carried away by their masterly performances. The press giyes them superlative and praise, when comparing them with other rm ers, and speaks of their concerts as being the most bril- liant ones ever given in that oly. By the way, mention- ing Sivori reminds us of an incident connectedwith his late professional visit to New Orleans. Onone occasion he was desirous of giving his grand piece, which re- quires cight performers upon the piano, but from some reason or other, he was not able to find the requisite number of professors of the instrument to engage in it, and he was about to abandon the project of giving it, when the difficulty under which he labored, becoming known, several ladies of the very first rank in the Cres- cent city, came forward and proffered their service ‘They were found to possess the requisite talent, thus the want of professors was supplied, and the pi given. One of the tair performers was the lady of very distinguished Senator from Louisiana, who is fast becoming (ifhe has not already attained’ the rank) among statesmen that Sivori is among musicians. Cunisty’s Mixstaevs.—Mechanics’ Hall has become the established resort of the gay and fashionable, and is nightly Gilled in every part, with most select audiences. In our frequent notices of the performances of this ta- lented company, we have omitted Nae ggg the artistical execution of the violinist, Wm. R. Hooley, whose solos are received with such ed Zz probation. There may not be so much science played in his playing as in that of Olo Bull, Sivori, and other great professors; but what he does play is under- stood--a rare acquisition in these times. He certainly is at the head of Ethiopian violinists. There was no performance by the Italians at the Howard Athen@um, Boston, on Tuesday evening, as the company were engaged rehearsing “I Lombardi,” presentation this evening. with Caranti de Vita and Severy, the primo tenore, who has not yet appeared there.

Paortino at THE Centaevitte Covase.—The trot- ting match for two thousand dollars, mile and repest, in harness, between the bay mare Sarah Winch and the brown gelding Bushwhacker, took place yesterday after- noon, and was won by the latter horse. There were two other trots for purses on the same track, which afforded ‘amusement in abundance to the lovers of such sport. But the feature of the day was the match for the thousands. The spectators numbered four or five hun- dred, and the Eastern States furnished their quota of delegates of the patrons of fair and honorable trotting. Sarah Winch, has been the favorite since the making ofthe match, and previous to the start, 100 to 70 was of- fered and taken on herin large amounts. Moremoney was waged yesterday on the result of the trot than has been bet at all the races which have taken place this season. ‘The horses have been in the hands of experienced train- ers, and they appeared to be as finely drawn as it were Possible they could be, Sarah Winch won tho inside position of the track. She was driven by Hiram Wood- ruff, Bushwhacker being under the guidance of William Woodruff, during the first heat; after which, that old and experienced whip, Wm. Whelan took him in charge, and by so doing, won the race and money. Finst Heat.—The horses came to the score for the word, but the judges did not give it because Sarah Winch had 9 few feet the advantage, they being determined to make the affair as even as possible, When thoy were started, the driver of Bushwhacker began shouting, evi- dently to frighten and break up the mare; but the shouting bad a cont effect to that anticipated, as Bushwhacker broke up giving Sarah a chance to draw out and leave him. She reached the quarter pole in 40 seconds, three lengths in advance of the horse. ‘he mare was kept steadily at work by Hiram, caution get ng to be his object, knowing full well it the horse was not to be held too lightly. peo wag ne he broke up several times. men the mile bn in 1.20, leadin, the horse hree or four lengths. coming round the turn to the stretch, the horse broke up again, and then again; losing very little, howe He was hurried up by his dri- ver as far as tho drawgate, who, on seeing that the horse had no chance for the heat, cased him up, and Sarah Winch led to the stand in 2.43, beating Bushwhacker about four lengths. Srconn H. —Much dissatisfaction was expreased by the friends of Bushwhacker at the way Mr. Wood- ruff had handled tho horse, and Wm. Whelan was asked to take himin chai ‘The betting was twoto one on the mare, and nothing was done at that figure; but the backers of the horse felt sure, that if he could’ win, Whelan would make him do it. As the horses left core, Bushwhacker broke up slightly, but soon jed down again, and kept by the side of the mare until near the quarter, where he seemed to force her so much, that she broke up, and the horse went two lengths in front. The quarter was made in 41 seconds. The horse held his advantage, and reached the bi in 1:22; but Hiram got the mare under a tre- headway, and as they swung round on the home stretch, she was alongside of Bushwhacker. From there to the fcore, the race was finely contested, eac driver bringing his generalship and experience into re- quisition. At the drawgate the mare broke up, and the horse led home length ahead in 2:46. The delighted crowd gave vent to their feelings by « tremendous shout of applause. Tuinv Heat.—There was a good start for this heat, and they went side and side until near the quarter, where the horse gained a few yards on the mare,an passed the post in 41 seconds. ‘The mare then made a h, and took sides with him again, and he broke up twice before reaching the half mile’ pole; but Whelan regulated him so finely, that he was hardly up before he had him right again. The mare broke at the half, which was passed in 1:22, and the hors: took a lead of @ length; yet before he reached the turn the mare was with him again, and after a struggle, she got nearly a length in front of him, and from there to the stand, the contest created the most intense inte- rest.

In the month of February last, » pamphlet was issuod by Mr. Solomon Andrews, of Perth Amboy, Now Jersey, addressed to invontors and amateurs of ingenuity and skill in the mechanic arts, recommending them to associate together and form an Inventors’ Institute, for the organization and permanent establishment of thoir business, as a separate and distinct occupation, peculiar to themselves, and for the exposure of interlopers and pirates, where’ real inventors may find such ald as they need in the prosecution and perfection of their plans, in suggestions, tools and materials, and pecuniary means ; whire.after maturing, they may conduct and carry on their business with success and profit; where they can have proper depots for the exhibition and sale of their inventions ; where their inventions may be impartial and competently examined, and from whence a certifi- cate of approval will be a sure guarantee to a party pur- chasing, that he is not imposed upon by a humbug. In pursuance of the recommendation contained in this pamphlet, those interested in tho subject assem- bled yesterday morning in Clinton Hall, for the purpose of discussing it, and taking such measures as might be deemed expedient to promote the establishment of an Inventors’ Association. At eleven o'clock the meeting was called to order, and Mr. SoLomon Anprews, of Perth Amboy, New Jersey, appointed President, Mr. Seweuu Snort, of Myy. tic, Conn., Vice President, and W. T. Roncens, Jr., of New York, Seoretary. On taking the ebair, Mr. Axonews, in a few words, explained the objects,for which the meeting was called. He said the time had ‘arrived when the inventors of the United States should organixe themse.ves into a Mutual Protection Society, an organization that would. embod: men of capital as well as inventors, and by which both capitalists and inventors would be benefitted. He had, he said, given the subject u great deal of attention, and ‘was prepared to submit three Le geen tothe meet- ing, any one of which they might adopt or reject, as to them seemed best. It is proposed that any person may becomo a stock- holder. But it is expressly contemplated, that the = rative business shall be under the control of scientific In this way they came upthe stretch. At the dra gate the mare slipped her fest, and skipped along for short distance; the horse then broke up, but was down ain, without losing apparently an inch, and he passed the score a neck ahead of Sarah Winch, in 2.4334; thus wining the race. Another trot, mile and repeat, in harness, for a purse, came off immediately after the conclusion of the above. Four horses were entered, only two of which made thelr appearance, b. m. Mist and g. m. Lady Augusta. This was rather one-sided affair, and was won by the gray, ey with ease, in 2.42, 2.43. Mist was the favo’ rite at the start at 10 to 2. ‘Tho sports of the day closed with trot for a purse, mile heats, best in five, under the saddle, for which four started, viz: g. g. Emperor, b. m.

City Intelligence. Tux Suir Feven.—-We are informed that this complaint increases among the emigrants. We understand that there are several hundred cases at BellevueHospital,which is under our city government ; and a great many cases exist at the State Hospital, Staten Island. At both hos- pitals tho treatment is ordered tobe the samo. At Sta ten Island the deaths amount to one in every ten of the persons who have the ship fever. At our Bellevue Hos- pita the deaths amount to four out of every ten. Why is this? The treatment ordered in both places is the same, viz: beef soup and brandy. Through one who has carefully observed, we loarn that brandy, costin; about 75 cents a gallon, is used with soup made from no! very good bones, whilst at Staten Island the brandy pre- #01 and used costs $3 25, and the meat is better. Are these facts? Where are we to find preservers of health? Dr. Van Buren, second assistant physician in Bellevue Hospital, son of John Van Buren, District At- torney of Ulster eounty, died yesterday after a brief {i)- ness of ship fever. He was about 23 years old, and was ‘engaged to be married in # few weeks to an estimable ‘oung lady residing in the upper part of the city. Dr. elly, another of the assistant physicians at Bellevue, is also said to be quite sick with the ship fever. Murverso in tHe Bowen’ We are again called upon to record the commission of another murder of a most daring character. It may very properly be asked, what are we coming to? for no sooner had the murderot assaults recently made upon Mr. Alvah Hotchkiss. of Brooklyn, and Mr. Bennet, of Williamsburgh, ceased to be matters of general topic, than a similar outrage ix perpetrated in our very midst, in the heart of this mighty city, and that, too, in one of the most public thorough- fares in it. From the evidence adduced besore Coroner Walters, yesterday, in the course of his investigation, it appeared that as policeman Odlum, of the Sixth Ward, was passing the corner of Pell street and the Bowery, between 11 and 12 o'clock on Monday night, he found an unknown man lying upon the side-walk, in a state of insensibility. On conveying him to the Station House, it was discovered that the strat had been severely wounded in several places on his head; he was accordingly taken to the City Hospital on Tuesday morning, an This wounds dressed. He, however, sur- vived but afew hours. On making a post mortem ex mination, it was ascertained that his skull had been frac- tured in several places, From the appearance of one of the fractures on the right temple, it was evident that it had been inflicted with a slung shot or billy, the head of which was about 13 inches in diameter. The Jury.ren- dered a verdict that “the deceased came to his death by injuries inflicted on the head by some person or persons unknown to the Jury.” The deceased appears to be about forty years of age, 5 fect 6 inches high, black hair, and whiskers, dark complexion, had on when found, a silver grey tweed coat, with covered buttons, blue rib- ‘bed cassimere pantaloons, merino vest, with red stripes, and boots. He is supposed to be a stranger in the city, and probably was imprudent —— to exhteit his mo ney to those who followed him to the spet where he was found, and there robbed him of all ho hadabout his person. ‘Traven 10 Avsaxy.—We are surprised, that with our many steamboats; running on the Hudson, there is no boat starting at a reasonable hour in the morning.

Here is a gene- ral outline of the plan of operation. ‘The plans submitted by the chair for the purpose of accomplishing the objects contemplated, were as fol- lows :—There is a manufacturing company in‘ Perth Am- boy, with a capital of $100,000, with liberty {0 Increase it to $500,000, chartered by the State of New Jersey in “1831, for fifty years. He proposes to take the charter of this’ company, its buildings, and appurtenances, and establish under it an Inventors’ Institute. The money to be received for stock to be appropriated not in erect ing buildings, &c., but in securing and developing pa- tents. It might be objected against this proposition he said, that it is un attempt to get rid the stock of a broken down concern, and per- haps there might be some reason in it, but he, Owning as he does, a controlling portion of the stock, was willing to dispose of the stock to ® company at an appraised value, provided the purchasers will agree to carry out the Inventors’ Institute. He had another pro- tion to make, which was, that he would sell out and jet the purchasers get a new charter, and then carry out the Inventors’ Institute; but in every case, an institu- tion for aiding poor inventors and developing thelr in. ventions, should be carried out. Forty-five thousand dollars of the capital.of this company has been paid in, and the market price of the stock is $60. ‘The third proposition was that he, Mr. Andrews, would join others in forming an Inventors’ Institute. ' He has con- siderable property, consisting of lots of land, steam en- ines, shops, dwelling houses. ko., valued at $47,000. which he will dispose of, and invest four-fifths of the purchase money in the stock of the institute, the re- maining Afth to be paid in cash on delivery of tho Mr. Jonson, of Long Island, enquired the amount of the estimated value of the machinery, &e. of the Perth Amboy Manufacturing Company, and the terms upon which it will be sold. Mr. Axpnews, before answering the question.said that it is desirable to know whether the project of the Inven- tors’ Institute is to be carried out. ‘The gentleman who made the enquiry, then said that he had visited Perth Amboy, and found that the proper- ty of the company was extensive; that there were two steam engines, lots, dwelling houses, &o. He was satis- fied from an inspection of the place that Mr. Andrews, if disposed, could carry out the project of an Inventor's Institute. ‘Mr. Anxotp Burrum thought it the statements of the concern in Perth Amboy should have been made in the way in which they were made, but he would ask one question first, vis, shall we form such an institute after purchasing it? Mr. Jonson said that it would be well to enquire and ascertain, in the first place, what means can be obtained to enable the project to be carried out successfully. He then proposed that such of the meeting as wore di to contribute, should send in their names and the amounts they would contribute, on a slip of paper, to the chair. He accordingly sent in his name for $000,” Mr. Burrum enquired the object of this measure, The chairmhn in reply said that he understood that the sums thus to be mentioned, were to be in augmentation of the capital, in case it might be needed; but that before any action of this kind were taken, it would be desira- ble to know which of the three plans that he proposed would be adopted. The Cuarmman was requested to read the constitu- ——- and proper that tion proposed to be adopted under the 8d proposition, which he did. Capital may be as large as $500,000, in a of $50; inventors to pay but $5 per anaum annually, on each share—and:capitalists, not being in- ventors, to pay the whole within » year. It was moved and seconded that such of the meeting as were disposed to unite in the project, sign a paper to that effect, and that a committee be appointed to pro- ceed to Perth Amboy,and there examine into the state- ments made by the chairman, and report at a future meeting; the committee to report also, which of the three propositions made by the chair is the most advisa- ble to select; and in case no one of them is deemed ad- visable, to propose one of their own. ‘The following named gentlemen were then nominated as members of the committee, viz: Samuel Fleet, Jordan L. Mott, and Edward Clark. The following named gentlemen announced their wil- lingness to unite in the undertaking: Jordan L. Mott, Wm. M. Johnson, Clinton Roosevelt, Frederick A. Gay, John Dowling, Samuel Fleet, Samuel Pratt, John John fon, James F, Starrett, James M. Merchant, James Ca- mac! r. m, James Davison, John Cathell, Rufus Porter, Edward Clark, Sewall Short, Thomas Wabler. The meeting then adjourned to 3 o'clock, P. M. At three o’clock the meeting convened and discussed, in 8 conversntional way, the objects to be achieved by the institute. In reply to numerous questions submit- ted to Mr. Andrews, he said that for the first year or so, the institute, of course, would not be able to carry out and develope all the inventions that would probably be submitted to it. Such as required a great ool of money, er more than might be in the hands of the treasurer at the time, would be left over for reconsider- ation, and such #s required an outlay consistent with the means on hand, would be entered into. Thus heex- hibited a newly invented turnkey for dentists’ use, the cout of manufacturing which, in the first place, would not exceedden dollars, and the patent right of which, provided the instrument will perform all that its author thinks it will, is worth five thousand dollars. In reply to another question, he said that since he is- sued the pamphlets addressed to‘ the most ingenious man” in every village and townin the United States, and published the proposal to form the Inventors’ In- stitute in the New Fork Herald, he had received from several States in the Union applications from upwards of forty patentees, who were desirous of submitting their inventions to the institute, and availing them- selves of the facilities which it offered to carry them out. ‘The meeting then adjourned to half past 7 o'clock. On assembling in the evening, Mr. Ashbel Green, of Princeton, read from the New York Herald, Scientifi American, and other papers, the opinions of the press on the subject of forming en Inventors’ Institute, and Mr Andrews, the ehairman, read several letters which ho said had been addressed to him on the subject, in conse- quence of the editor of the Heraid having inserted in hi ily paper gratuitously the! whole of the pamphlet which he issued, and by inserting it in his weekly sheet as an advertisement, accompanied with an engraving of the premisos of the Perth Amboy Manufacturing Cem: pony. The writers of some of these letters complain ly of not being able to introduce their inventions for want of money, after having expended all their means in perfecting and patenting them, and ex press their hopes that with the assistance of this in- stitution they may yet be enabled to reap the reward of their talent, and support their families in comfort Mr. Pontsn, editor of the Scientific American, being ealled for.rose and said, that within the last few mouths he had received descriptions of some one hundred inven- tions, some of which, if carried out, would be worth from fifiy to one hundred thousand dollars, and which would be disposed of for @ comparatively small sum.— p ioe et + la ad an Spee hl niin is one of e im @ to the national prosperit; should be enevuraged by all means if’ posaibl hot inventions of this countr; su) of the old world, and is factory to know that our machiniste and
