NEW YORK HERALD. New York, ‘Wednesday, May 26, 1847. The News from Mexico. Our readers will find in this day’s paper some very interesting intelligence from the seat of war, which we received yesterday by extraordi- nary express, twenty four hoars in advance of the mail. On reading it they will discover three points worthy of a little attention at the present time. These are, first, that affairs at the capital are worse than they have been yet, and that the greatest anarchy and confusion prevailed there ; second, that Santa Annais making incredible exertions to raise himself in the estimation of his countrymen, and for that purpose is endea- voring to organize another army; and, thirdly, that President. Anaya exhibits toe much apathy in the opinion of El Republicano, a sort of Union newspaper, for the present condition of the coun- try. Other points, such as the casting of cannen from the bells of the churches, &c., might be allu- ded to, for the purpose of showing the terrible state of confusion and disorder at present reigning in that distracted country; and to show also that, as we said on a former occasion, no idea can be formed on the probable duration of the war until Gen. Scott shall have captured the city of Mexico, and made his headquarters in the Halls of the Montezumas. After he shall have done this, we shall proba- bly be able to form an estimate of the time when the two republics will again share in the bless- ings of peace, and be united together by abond stronger than that which existed before hostili- ties broke out between them. When the city of Mexico shall be in our possession, or, as it has been intimated, when the city of Puebla shall have been occupied by our troops, Mr. Triste, on the part of our government, will once more extend to the Mexican government the olive branch. If it be again refused, other and more stringent measures must be adopted, and plans for the ultimate and complete subjuga- tion of the whole of Mexico, entered into. STEAMER, ‘The Washington, of Mew York. The eighteenth century gave to the world the apostle of liberty and civilization. The nine- teenth century, through the magical name of “WASHINGTON,” = under the liberal auspices of a far seeing govern- ment, and by the enterprise and indomitable energy of the merchants and mechanics of our city, presents to our republic and to the people of the old world, the important and consoling fact, that the two hemispheres are drawn still nearer together by the scientific improvements and skill of American engineers and naval architects, so that a journey of only ten days divides the peo- ple of Europe and America; and it is believed that the year 1847 will not expire, without prov- ing that thefe may be even a greater approxima- tion. The first ocean steamship of the New York, Southampton and Bremen line, has made an ex- perimental trip upon the ocean to test her strength and speed. That which wag, not long since, an important problem, may henceforth be safely re- garded us having been, by this thorough, though short voyage, satisfactorily solved. It isa fixed fact, that whilst our young Republic can feed her monarchical, and other European ancestral rela- tives, afflicted by famine, she can teach, also, some lessons in steam machinery and naval ar- chitecture. Within a few years many American and Ger- man merchants have debated the expediency of claiming and maintaining for our port the advan- tages, of a line of ocean ships, to carry the Uni- ted States mails and merchandise to and from England and Bremen. At first they met with lit- tle to encourage their enterprise. The obstacles were numerous. Prejudice, envy and ignorance “ruled the hour.” Perseverance and skill have conquered them all. They succeeded in gaining the aid of our government. The Company elected their directors; C. H. Sand, Esq., was chosen President, and Mr. C. Anderson, Secreta- The crisis in the existence of Mexico, as an independent nation, is approaching. Mexican Outrages. We are full of Mexican matter to-day, but it will be found of interest. If we were to form an opinion of the Mexicans, from the character given them by some of our “new spapers, we should say that they are the most harmless people in the world, and could not be guilty of the ten thousand outrages and insults that they have heaped on the people and government of the United States for a num- ber of years. The Mexicans, according to these gentlemen, are an amiable, weak and good na- tured people, incapable of committing a wrong; while on the other side they say, their amiable- ness of character was the incentive to commence the war on our part. It is needless to say that these assertions are false, for we believe the people understand the Mexican character pretty well by this time, and have no doubt heard of some of the outrages which the Mexican government committed on the persons and property of our citizens years be- fore the war was thought of. So far from their be- ing amiable they are bloodthirsty and cowardly; and so far from our government commencing the war, we hazaad the assertion, that no power- ful nation in existence, except our own, would have remained, so long as it did, without en- forcing indemnity for injuries and insults inflict- ed on the persons and property of American citi- zens. We will give an instance of the honor of the Mexican government, that took place in the year 1832. In that year the State of Tobasco entered into a treaty with a Mr. William Brown of this city, granting him the exclusive right to navigate the waters of that State for ten years, with the view of introducing steam navigation. The treaty was made in the most solemn manner, regularly signed and sealed. Mr. Brown transferred the grant to Mr. Aaron Leggett, of this city, the owner of the steamer Bellona, then plying be- tween New York and Elizabethtown, New Jer- sey, who immediataly fitted out that vessel, and placed her under the command of Capt. B. A. Bu- kup, and engaged Mr. J. Cochrane as first engi- neer. All things being in readiness, the Bello- na proceeded to Tobasco, where she arrived safely on the 19th June, 1882, and was put into the trade for which she was designed. Soon after her arrival at Tobasco, it appears that a ci- vil war broke out between the !Bustamente and Santa Anna party; and while the steamer was one day employed in her legitimate business, she was forcibly seized and taken possession of by the public authorities, to transport{troops, can- non, and munitions of war for the use of the go- vernment party. There being no persons in the State of Tobasco competent to navigate a steam- boat, the authorities forced the captain and hands to obey the orders of the officers and soldiers put on board, and threatened to shoot them in case they refused. Fora whole month the Mexican government kept possession of this vessel,in spite of the remonstrances of the captain, engineer, and crew, and in direct violation not only of the | treaty of navigation entered into by the State of | Tobasco, as we have before mentioned, but in direct violation also of the treaty of amity be- tween the two governments, which guaranteed to the citizens of both protection of life and pro- perty. The treatment which the captain and crew experienced was outrageous. The officers and soldiers forced them to navigate the vessel asthey directed, under threats of death. The captain, pilot, and engineer, were each under the supervision of a soldier with a loaded mus- ket, which he was directed to kill them with, in case he discovered any remissness of duty. At one time the engineer was forced to hold a dangerous quantity of steam, lest its es- cape might interfere with the deliberations of a council of war that was being holden on board. The civil war having come to an end, the steam- er and her captain and crew were set free, but without any compensation. . S The immediate effect of these high handed pro- «eedings, which were all sanctioned by Santa Anna and the then existing government, was the forcible impressment of American citizens}in the service of a foreign government; and the ultimate effect was that all concerned in the enterprise were forced to abandon it, and. return to their own country. We can assure our readers that there is no.ex? eration in this statement. We have compiled this sketch from a mass of affidavits made by the captain, engineer, and crew of the Bellona, the reading of which has convinced us that a more outrageous course of conduct was never pursued by one nation towards another. And yet we are told that the Mexican government is incapable of committing an injury, and that the Mexican pore are now Lae persecuted and injured y our government. Facts are worth.more than assertions More Quick Passaces.—The new ship Enter- prise, Captain Funck, arrived last night from Liverpool, having left that port on the 5th inst. She brings no new A card published in ano- ther column, addressed to the captain, from the passengers, will give some idea of her excellent qualities. R y URELAND.—Brig Annah, (of Salis- buty,) Capt. Fowler, in ballast arrived Stee this eve} Raving wailed the oth iene {2%,, Westport, Ireland, until she reached the Grand Basie peeeny winds ry. The Company have agreed to build and equip four steamers, at a cost which will spread among our industrious artizans and laborers the sum of one million of dollars. The U. 8. Gov- ernment, whilst offering to each ship the liberal sum of one hundred thousand dollars a year, for carrying the mails, claimed the prerogative of turning them, at any time, into war ships, when they might be necessary to the interests of the country. The Government claimed, too, the right to have the ships and machinery built, fitted, and‘tried by a special agent. Captain Thomas Brownell, of New York, who was, during the war of 1812, an intrepid and skil‘ul officer, subsequently a merchant shipmaster, and at present, a Lieutenant in our service, was at once selected for this important and highly re- sponsible duty; and nobly has he thus far per- formed his arduous labor. The trial just concluded had for its object the necessity of satisfying the Government and the public that its required prerogative had been duly regarded, whilst the interests of the com- mercial and travelling world had not been neglected. Without further préface we proceed to de- scribe the hull of THE SHIP. She measures 230 feet on deck, Government measure. 39 feet beam, do do 3034 feet depth of hold, thus affording about 1750 tons Government measure, or, about 2000 tons Carpenter's. ‘The Krex is 16 inches square, exclusive of the shoe or false Keel, which is five inches thick. The Middle Kelson is 3 feet in depth amidships, by 16 inches sided. There are Bed Kelsons for the Engine, each measuring 3 feet at the base, 3 feet in heighth, and 23 feet on the upper sides; extending over the entire length of the ship’s floor, as far as the shape of her bottom will allow. These Kelsons are secured by 14 inch Iron Screw belts, driven through a plate from the outside of the timbers, and their position is such that every Floor Timber re- ceives eight bolts, and every Futtock four, besides the bolts in the Centro Kelson, which are 134 inch copper. There is also a Bilge Kelson of 15 inches square, placed in such a manner as to secure the heads of the First and the heels of the Third Futtocks. The Ship's Frame is of White Oak, excepting the Apron, Transoms, Knight heads, Fashion pieces and Stanchions, which are of Live Oak and Locust. The Ship is framed in three lengths of timber. Her Floor Timbers sided ten inches; Lower Futtoeks 11, inches; upper Futtocks 10 inch The Frame is moulded 20 inches at the side of the Keel, 16 inches at the Floor Timber Heads, and it is gradually diminished thence to the Top,where it is six inches; and being placed 30 inches apart,on the Keel, leaves an ave- rage space between them of 3 inches, thus presenting a mass of solid timber, copperand iron. The length of the timbers composing each frame in the amidships section of the ship, is Floors about 22 feet; first Futtocks 17 feet; second Futtocks 12 feet; third Futtocks 16 feet;Top Tim- bers 20 feet; Half Top Timbers 16 feet. The Ceiling of the ship is of Southern Pine, 6 inches thick in the Bilges, and diminishes to 7 and 6 above that up to the upper deck. The Bottom Plank 4, 434, 6 and 534 inches thick up to the Bends, which are of 6 inches, all White Oak. THE SPARS. The Mainmast measures 80 feet, diameter averaging 25 inches. Foremast, 78 feet, diameter 26 inches. Miz- enmast, 76 feet, diameter 21 inches. Bowsprit, out- board 24 feet, (full length 45 feet), diameter 26 by 24 inches. Fore and Main Topmasts, 50 feet, 144 inches; Fore and Main Yards, 68 feet, 17 inches. Fore and Main Topsail Yards, 58 feet, 14 inches. Fore and Main Spencer Gaffe, 34 fet, 9inches. Mizen Gaff, 33 feet, (neck 6 feet), 9 inches. Jibboom, 22 feet outside of the Cap, 14inches. These spars are of selected wood, com- bining, with thelr Trusses and mechanical action, every modern improvement. THE SAILS AND RIGGING Are made of very heavy canvass, best of cordage; fitted exactly. and gave satisfaction. THE PAINTING. ‘The hull is black on the outside, excepting a white streak with black port holes, and is so well executed as to conceal, when observed from a short distance, the fact that her wheels and their houses protrude on each side, Inside, on deck, green is the prevailing color, THE FIGURE HEAD is a full length statue ofthe immortal Patre Patri “First in War; First in Peace; First in the hearts of his Countrymen.” His name is presented in large gold let- ters upon the head boards, THE GROUND TACKLE Consists of very heavy anchors, with chain cables of large diameter and of tried strength. The windlass is upon the last improved plan, and with a full crew, will work with facility. She has several hemp stream cables, and hawsers innumerable. Having now described the externals, we come to the INTERIOR. Thore are three decks, extending foro and aft, one upper deck, amidships, covering about one quarter of her length, and below, part of another deck. The lower hold has now 375 tons of anthracite coal, and large Iron Tanks for Croton and European water, made to fit the ship's bottom exactly—and from which, by means of patent force pumps, it may be thrown into every part of the ship. The lower deck is to be used for the stowage of Cargo, and it is estimated that she can stow 375 tons of measurement goods, or 400 tons of dead weight. In order to make this experiment as perfect as possible, about 400 tens of Iron Ballast was taken on board, to represent cargo. The third deck from below, has on the forward part, first the working room of the Windlass and accommodation for the Sailors. Next to this the Cook holds his Court in state, with patent ener Boilers, &c, having « Kitchen for himself and deputies, covering an area of 575 square feet. Here food for 400 might be supplied; and Mr. Jennings, one of the well-known pro- prietors of the City Hotel, was on board, scrutinizin, all these and other particulars. Next comes the Secon: Cabin, Hitherto there has been usually great complaint as to the treatment of this class of ars ig ha 0 in this ship are to only half price, viz: $60. But the: will now be well Heseod, foe they have a separate Dining Room, Pantries, State Rooms, with every convenience, and a steward, with servants, entirely ‘to themselves, Their quarters are airy and well lighted. As we ceed aft we come to a large and legantly furnished Smoxing Satoon. On each side there are berths for such of the first-class Passengers as like to in- dulge in not annoyed by the smoke of to- bacco—and The Engine and ay they will be numerous. Room THE FIRST AMERICAN OCEAN MAIL STEAMER. is very capacious. At its sides are berths for the fire- men and laborers. Next comes the lower dormitories for first class passengers, which are well planned and _ vided. ‘Then we come to three eapacious pantries, fully supplied with massive and purely white China, with cut glass of the most elegant pattern and with cutlery, which with the rest of these important utensils, was manufac- tured expressly for the ship. In connection with this department we may here state that there ver plat mough o% board to set up an ordi Broadway; and we would, for the especi prowling thi state that it 4s kept in an immense iron safe, having treble locks. Now we arrive at the GRAND SALOON. ‘This is an improvement upon all known improvements. The length from the transom sofas to the forward bulk- head is 85 feet. The width aft is 18 feet and forward 22 feet. There are State Rooms outside of the Saloon— each having a side and a deck light. There are Bath Rooms for the ladies on one side, and for gentlemen upon the other. The Barber has a good office, and there are Water Closets with every convenience for ladies and children. Toilet and Wash rooms for the ladies and mtlemen, The walls of the Saloon are of white enamel, inlaid with gold; and to give an idea of the apis 4 of the style, and of the expected cleanliness of the Ship, we may say that this part of the workmanship is so excel- lent that mirrors are useless, although there are many on board of great elegance. To sum upall in one sen- tence, relative to the tries, furniture, kitchen, ser- vants, &o., one has only to imagine that he is in the 4s- tor House, fairly afloat upon the Ocean, and that in the furniture there have been many improvements. On the spar deck, forward of the wheel houses, are water closets and rooms for tools, with a cow house, ice houses lined with zine, refrigerators for dead stock, rooms for live stock,&c. There are four skylights with cone and stained glass, to light the Grand Saloon, and ie Dead lights have large likneases of Washington, La- fayette and Franklin, and with the Arms of the United States, of En, id, France and Bremen—made from stained my in the after there is a wheel-house,— the Capt "8 a) ents, the First, third and fourth Of- cers, and amidships rooms for Engineers, &c. The upper deck over Engines, is for the Pilot Captain, Engineer or others when on duty. ‘he ship is calculated to receive and use effectively, and without diminishing her strength and speed, twenty heavy guns. There are new ports to take in the coal and cargo. Those used for coal have large iron hoods to prevent the introduction of coal dust throughout the ship. THE MAIL ROOM, Is capable of holding an enormous supply of bags, is between decks, has an iron safe, and is made fire and water proof. Baggage and Bread Rooms the same, LIFE BOATS. She has five of the Galvanized Metallic Life Boats, invented and patented by Mr. Joseph Francis, made by machinery at the Novelty Works. These boats havo been tested, and found to possess an immense power, whilst they combine speed, with strength, lightness and safety. ‘There are also two wooden boats. ‘THE SHIP BUILDERS, Messrs. Westervelt & McKay, are too well known to fame to require or desire a compliment for their admit- ted science, zeal, speed and perseverance. By their works, let them be judged; and if either gentleman should die to-morrow, his posterity need claim no higher honor than to say that his memory will survive, as the builder of this noble ship. THE TIME OF BUILDING. On the 7th of September, 1846, the first timber of the ship's framo was moulded. | On the 15th of October, 1846, the whole frame was completely raised, and the ship was launched on the 30th of January, 1847. Inthree months from that day she had steam upon her. THE STEERING OF THE SHIP. And she has now been well tried in the East and North Rivers, among th) wonder-loving people on board of sloops and schooners who crowd these mighty arteries of New York; she has been tried, too, at sea, with and without and whilst under steam; and the oldest seamen on board, and elsewhere, say truly, “She turns like a top.” The rudder is of the stoutest and best.— She drags no dead water, and, to be appreciated, her graceful movements, through rough or smooth water, must be witnessed. Our task is now most pleasing, for we come to THE ENGINES. ‘These ponderous and mighty machines are well worthy of the ship, of their builders, from the highest to the lowe: izan, and of the progressive age in which they first produced # revolution. The Ship has two Engines of 72 inches Cylinder, 10 feet stroke ; wrought iron frames, shafts, cranks,jand water wheels, Iron coal bunkers, enclosing the boilers and machinery. The Engines were built by Messrs. Stillman, Allen & Co., at the Novelty Works, The Wuexr.s are of 39 feet diame- ter, and 732 feet dip. There are a pair of boilers, each 36 feet long and 15 feet wide, weighing 86,000 pounds each. ‘The Bed plates alone weigh 40,000 pounds each, and every point liable to fire is lined with cast-iron plates, fitted to the shape of the ship’s bottom and sides. The cut off fixtures are of a new kind, and capable, as was proved on this trip, of being attended to at any part of the stroke, while the engine is in motion. All of the machinery is below deck. Only the smoke pipe and wheels would make a casual observer perceive that she is steamer. The firemen, who are all young but well tried men, declare that they never worked in a more cool or comfortable fire-room, although the thermome} ter, in the shade, on deck, indicated 74 degrees. Rapid as was the rate of the ship, it was not perceived that she trembled from the force of the engines. ‘THE ENGINEER’S DEPARTMENT is conducted by Barnet Smith, Chief Engineer; Gilbert Lasher and Oliver Baird, First Assistants; John Marshall and William Shafer, Second Assistants; John Signer and L Lawrence, Third Assistants. They are zealous, vigilant, active, skillful and sober. ‘They keep their en- gines purely sweet and clean, and with use of one hand make either engine work like a charm. THE EXCURSION to sea commenced with the lively yo heave oh! of the sailors at daylight on Monday‘morning. The fog was very dense, and the pilot deemed it prudent to go wisely andslowly. She did get to sea yesterday, on Tuesday morning proceeding about as far south us Barnagat Light House, and then going about forty miles to sea, ‘The old south east blow left a heavy ground swell and a current—the sails were tried and all worked well—sho had at one time set the jib, foresail, fore-spencer, fore- be ergs maintopsail and mizzen-spencer, and was tried without steam, and she did well at dragging her heavy whe Ge @ Lawrence, the well known and talented ster of the London Line of Packets, with Mr. J. ©. Cowie, late steward of Rathbun’s Hotel have full command as First and Assistant Stewards, whilst Mr. Lawrence’s son has charge of the Second Cabin; and such a feast as they gave con- tinually would astonish some of our club house epicures. They had every known delicacy within the reach of money, and were the theme of general praise. ‘Their servants too, with a little more drill, will be first rate men. Among the guests we noticed Com. Sevillia, and his Chief Engineer, in command of the Spanish Steamer, the Leon, now here. Also, Mr. Eustaphieve, for tho Emperor of Russia, and other skillful observers. The fast sailing STEAMER JOHN MARSHALL met the ship outside of the bar, as she was returning, and there was a fine trial of a sea and a river steamer. The J. Marshall had 300 to 500 persons on board, all anxious to witness this trial, and here is their REPORT. Ata meeting on board of the steamboat John Mar- shall, on an excursion taken by the Mechanics of the Novelty Iron Works, in order to view the sailing qualities of the steamer Washington, the following reso- lutions were unanimously adopted:— 1, Resolved, That we congratulate the Ocean Steam Navigation Company on hav: ng 80 noble a specimen of American ingenuity and skill as is displayed in the a of the United States Mail Steamer Wash- ington. 2 That we consider the construction of the hull, by Messrs. Westervelt & McKaygas a noble specimen of American naval architecture and skill. 3. That we also congratulate the proprietors of the Novelty Iron Works on the successful operation of her en. 4, That we consider the sailing qualities of the stoam- er Washington, as being unsurpassed by any transatlan- tic steamer, having an poreeelty of Jadgiog her speed by that of the steamer John Marshall 5, That we tender our thanks to Capt. Sanford for his obliging and gentlemanly treatment of us during the excursion 6. That the foregoing resolutions be published in the New York Herald Signed in behalf of the committee, b; D. LEVITT, Chairman, C. C, Gurgxoven, Sec The beautiful flags of both vessels, including a su- perb Bremen fiag, were displayed. Cheer upon cheer was given, guns were tired, bells were rung, aud all were delighted. THE PILOT—CAPT. JOMN MAGINN, President of the New York Pilots Association, had charge, and he did an arduous duty with «manly voice and a cheerful face, to the delight of ail, and to the eter- nal credit of the invaluabie association over which he +0 ably presides. And now, last but not least, comes the COMMANDER, sat Captain Frederick Hewitt, for many years popularly Kabwn in the Havre Lines, He han s Ligh respanatbiity, and, as the British steamer Britannia sails from Boston on the same day he leaves New York, he will, if any man ean do it, prove satisfactorily to the world, that neither Britannia nor her fast sailing namesake can lon ee er in speed and successfal navigation. His firet isan accomplished seaman, known to fame, as John Sherry, and Mr. Qualey is the second mate. ‘The first day of June will try their metal. ‘The ship will be coppered at the end of this voyage. ‘The Lower Bay was filled with inward and outward bound ships. Over one hundred were in sight at the same moment. The view was cheering. The ship was hauled into the berth od es at No. 4, which the Frigate Macedonian hed just le! Some slight damage was oc- casioned to some Vessels at the end of the wharf, partly owing to the malicious conduct of the mate of the French ship Diane, of Havre. Ho threw one of the ‘Washington’s hawsers overboard. A rope’s end at the yard arm would be too good for him. When the ship Peg up and down the river, one would have thought that the C: panalogians were practising for a concert, re i such a running fire of steamers’ complimenta- ry . ‘phe whole experimental trial having been made under the control of Captain Brownell, as Government agent, and having given eminent satisfaction, it is now under- stood that he has, or will in due time, report her as fit for the patronage of our Government and of the world. Major Hobbie, assistant post master general, from Washington, goes out in her to make the mail arrange- ments. There are seventy passengers waiting her do- parture. And to conclude, God prosper all who havo participated in this magnificent enterpriso—and God speed the captain and all hands. Amen. Theatrical. Parx Tueatar.—Mr. Dyott had a tolerably good house last evening. To-night the performances are for the benefit of Mr. G. Barrett, and Mr. Wallack has kindly volunteered to playin two pieces; he will appear as Charles, in the “School for Scandal,” Mr. G. Barrett playing Sir Peter Teazie. The after pieco will be “Tho Adopted Child,” in which Mr. Wallack plays Michael,— The cast in both ante is admirable, and whoever can afford the time will find themselves well entertained by dropping in. But it is almost superfious to speak of the bill, or the merits of the beneficiary; the show boards in the street display the one, and every body who goes to the Park knows the other. It may be weil to advise early application at the box office in order to secure a good seat, Bowery Turatre.—This is the third night of Mr} Booth’s engagement, and it will be strange indeed if every seat and standing place in the theatre be not oc- cupted. That great actor will appearin the part of King Lear in the traged, of that name, after which the Hi- berniandrama “Brian Boroihme,” will be performed.— These two pieces, and the way in which they are cast, form a bill surpassingly excellent. Augusta and troupe arrived at St. Louis on the 19th. Gen. Thumb is the admiration of the Philadelphians, who are making him a lion in good earnest. He rides through their saloons in his own equipage, and takes all sorts of liberties, in spite of the steady atmosphere of the city of brotherly love. Forest and Jamieson are playing in Baltimore. Musici Tratian Orena.—To-night theseason at Palmo’s closes, with Donizetti's opera of “Lucrezia Borgia,” and it may be safely predicted, that the singing will be perform- ed ina manner which shall leave a favorable impression upon the minds of those who listen to it. Barili, Bene- ventano, Benedetti, Pico, Sanquirico, Patti and Martini, have each a part in the Lucrezia which makes it highly appropriate as the closing piece of the season. It is to be hoped that the friends of the opera will turn out in numbers, and show to the managers that they appreciate their endeavers to sustain the opera against many diffl- culties during two seasons. On Friday night Signora Pico presents her claims; she deserves well at the handa of our music-loving public, and the least they can do to show their estimation of her talent, is fo fill the benches on the night of her benefit. - CastLe Garven.—Every evening our citizens can en- Joy the beautiful and cooling sea breeze and delicious music performed by Mr. Murich’s German band at Cas- tle Garden. This evening this band will perform a con- cert, comprising several select compositions from Labits- ky, Strauss, Lanner, and other great composers, com- miencing at $o’clock. The price of admission is only one shilling. Vauxna ct still continues its evening concerts, both instrumental and vocal, and by the persevering exertions of the proprietor, in keeping it select, is now becoming well patronised. Mr. A‘ Phillips, and many eminent vo- calists, sing many new and favorite glees, duets, and solos every evening, and are much applauded. Curisty’s Minstreis.—Mechanics’ Hall continues to be filled to repletion every evening. Amongst the many amusements at present in this city, none seems to be so generally well patronized as these exceedingly popular melodists—the same faces may be seen there among the audience night after night. Their performances never grow monotonous, always something new and pleasing— their burlesque on phrenology is worth the price of ad- mission alone—their soirées comprise a greater variety, and are better represented than we,have ever seen by an: other company—in their profession they are inimitable; chaste in their performances, liberal and gentlemanly in their private lives. De Meyer has arrived at Philadelphia, and will assist at the concert of the Philharmonic concert, next Sat day evening. With De Meyer, Benedetti, Signor and Signorina Barili to aid them. we may safely predict for the Philharmonic a brilliant affair. ‘The Alleghanians are performing in Hudson. The Swiss Bell Ringers are still delighting the Bosto- nians, who nightly go in great numbers to hear them. I Lombardi don’t take in Boston, because Tedesco don’t sing. City Intelligence. Tue Wratuer.—We had yesterday a very sudden change of weather, which has taken us almost into mid- summer, from the coldness of winter. The thermome- ter at I o'clock P. M., stood as high as 80 degs, in the shade in Wall street, and our citizens seemed complete- ly metamorphosed within the short space of twenty- four hours, haying mostly changed their winter clothing for their light summer dresses and straw hats. Yester- day may be said to have been the first day of summer. Juprcrat Nomination.—Elijah Paine, Esq., was yes- terday nominated by the committee of the bar, to the office of Justice of the Supreme Court, vice William Mitchell, who declines. ‘The bar ticket for the Supreme Court, as corrected, stands thus:—Chief Justice Jones, Hon, John W, Edmonds, John Slosson, and Elijah Paine, Esq. Fine Atan.—There was an alarm of fire yesterday morning about 1 o'clock, in consequence of a furnace having lighted up, at No. 261 Water street. No damage was done. Fine.—A fire oceurred yesterday morning at the'corner of Scammel and Cherry streets, in « blacksmith’s shop, which was discovered by officer Caslin, and put out by him, with the aid of some citizens who had collected on the occasion. Damage trifling. Tur Awsixa Posts.—Theso posts in Broadway are daily beginning to fall under the hatchet of the artizan and laborer. ‘Their disappearance will greatly beautify this splendid thoroughfare ; but the dilapidated state of the pavements is atill a disgrace to our citizens. When will the new Common Council move in this matter. Inventor's Institute.—It will be seen by an adver- tisement in this day’s paper,that the committe inted by the meeting held at Clinton Hall a few days since, to proceed to Perth Amboy to inquire into the practicabil- ity of converting the Perth Amboy Manufacturing Com- pany into an Inventor's Institute, will make their report this evening in Clinton Hall. ‘The friends of the cause are invited to attend, and we hope to see a good attend- ance of mechanics and inventors.

I.—There was witnessed by those who visited this track yesterday, some of the finest trotting imaginable. The horses were well matched, and each heat, in both centests, was so close, that in three of them it required the nicest dis- crimination on the part of the judges to give a correct decision. ‘The first contest was for a sweepstakes of $300, with $100 added by the proprietors—the horses to go mile heats, best three in five, in harness, The following named nags were entered:—bi. g. Jack Cade, g. g. Grey Harry, and b. m. Sal. Very little business was done by the financiers on the track, the horses not being very great favorites; although, if any choice, Grey Harry had the call. The day was propitious for sport, all hearts being gladdened by the ride over the delight- ful roads leading to the course, which the rain of the day and night previous had made all that could be desired. First Heat.—Some twelve or fourteen failures oc- curred before the horses made a start, the Philadelphia mare appearing beyond the control of Hiram Woodruff, who had her in hand, and he was compelled to relinquish his charge to Mr. King, the gentleman who drove her in her previous trials. She appears the most difficult crea- ture to manage that ever trotted on the Union. Jack Cade had the pole, Grey Harry second, and the mare outside. At the start Sal was alength in front of the other two, but broke up at the turn, and fell in the rear; Grey Harry also broke up, and Jack Cade took the lead to the quarter pole, which was passed in 40 sec- conds. Between; this place and the half Harry ral- lied, and overtook Cade, and they went very ‘finel: with their heads 1h gay past the half mile pole in 1:16, but soon after broke up. Sal had now become steady, and was gaining on Cade and Harry, her speed being much greater than that of the others when on a square trot; but no relianc« could be placed in her ; before she reached the leaders she broke up, and lost so much ground that it was impossible for her to recover it.— larry and Cade were side and side all the way round the bottom of the track, and part of the way up thestreteh, but after passing the drawgate Cade fell off, and his driver seeing bis chances for the heat were out, judi- ciously held him up, giving erg about four lengths the lead at the score. ‘Time of the heat, 2:43. Sal tame to the stand by the side of Cade. Second Heat.—The mare again had the lead at the start, but could not go round the turn without a break, which threw her some lengths behind. Harry waa in front at the quarter pole, (415 seconda,) with Cade close at his heels, Down the back stretch the struggle be- tween af and Cade was very fine—neck and neck past the half mile pole in 1:21; and they kept in this po- sition round to the three-quarter post. From there to the stand cach driver tried every expedient he was master of to increase the speed of his horse, but not an inch of advantage could one get over the other, and they came tothe stand thus in 2:41, The judges an- nounced # dead heat. Third Heat.—The start was very even, and they got off finely; at the turn. Cade and Sal broke up; Harry passing the quarter in 42 seconds, about a length ahoad of the others. The mare dashed after Harry, but just as she overtook him, she broke up, and Harry Kept the lead from there to the seore. Sal, it was thought, would have won the heat, notwithstanding her breaks, had not her breeching broken as she came through the draw- gate; as it was, she was only beaten by alength. Cade, in this heat, trotted very well, and he was never more than a length behind the leading horse. Time, 2:47. Fourth Heat.—This was a close heat, the herses keeping together all the way round, and was won by Grey Harry by a length. Time to the quarter pole, 41 seconds; to the half, 1:21; and to the score, 2:42. Tror No. 2.—Seven horses were advertised to sari for the $50 purse, two mile heats, in harness, but four of the number were ready when called for, viz. Trustee, br. m. Mist, g. m. Lady Augusta, and Young pene (formerly Bushwhacker.) Trustee won the pole. First Heat.—They got off swell, Lady Augusta{and the Dutchman arm and arm, leading; Mist and Trustee bringing up the rear. At the quarter, Augusta cut the company of the Dutchman, and kept the lead until she broke. Mist then made a dash for the place previously occupied by the gray mare; but the Dutch blood of the horse was up,and he would not allow such conduct. A close struggle ensued, which lasted to the score, which Dutch- man passed first in 2:46, by half a length. Mist now fell off, and Trustee challenged Dutchman for the heat, and well did Trustee stick to him; for Dutchman won by only ahead. Time, 6:33. Trustee was distanced, his driver being two pounds less than the regular weight, Second Heat.—This heat was very closely contested, Dutchman having to contend first against Augusta, an then to engage ‘Mist, each of the latter alternately forcing him; but he succeeded in beating them both in 5:3334. Great satisfaction was :manifested by the spectators with the sports of the day, and all returned to their homes to make preparations for the amusements of the coming day. Centagvitte Course, To-pay.—Trortina axp Pa- cixc,—At 2 o'clock, there will be a trotting match for $600, mile heats, to 250 Ib. wagons, between b. g. Boss Pelter and ch. m, Lady Sherman ; and at 3 o'clock, purse will be given to paeors, mile heats, best three in five, in harness. Tormentor, Boss Butcher, and Village Maid are advertised to start, Cary will leave the South Ferry at 134 o'clock for the track, returning when the business of the day is settled.

This race excited little or no interest, except so far as the betting was concerned. St. Louis was the favorite, by odds, against the field, before starting; but so far as we are able to judge, he was evidently off his feet, and not in a condition to sustain his former well-earned re- tation, Matilda Bynum took the lead from the zcore in both heats—cut out the work, made it up after her ewn fashion, and left the other two to gather up the remnants. She was neither headed nor pushed, but came in a gallant winner by about two lengths in each heat. ‘The field was finer than wo have witnessed for years. Growds were constantly coming up. ‘Time, Ist heat, 3:49},—2d heat, 3:5134. ‘Three fine nags are entered for Monday’s races, and sport of tho most exciting kind may be expected. ‘The purse is $300; the contest to be three mile heats,—St. Louis Reveille, May 16, ‘The spring races at Lexington, (Ky.) commenced on Tuesday.

Srienxvip Arrain.—We learn that George Law, Enq. the owner ot the famous steamer Oregon, has challenged the proprietor of the new steamer Bay State, and Cor- nelius Vanderbilt, and as many more as may enter the list, to make a trial of speed of these splendid steamers ; to run either to Poughkeepsie and back on the North River, or to Huntington Light, on Long Island Sound ; the purse to be $500, $1,000, $10,000, or nothing ; no pas- sengers to be taken. _ This will be a splendid affair, and no risk run by uninterested individuals; and it will settle the question between these boats as to which moves the fastest over the water. This is what the public want ; it will prevent racing on the Sound for the future. Yvcutinc.—We have recieved the following letter from a eorrespondent in Boston :— Boston, May 24, 1847. The clipper yacht Coquette, James H. Perkins, Esq., owner and commander, sailed from here this morning with a party of gentlemen belonging to our city on board, ona cruise for pleasure. They will first touch at your city, when I doubt not commandant Perkins will be happy to give any of the crack craft of Gotham an op- portunity of testing the sailing qualities of his beautiful yacht, either for “fun or money.’ I learn it is the in- tention of Mr. P. to pay a flying visit to the Delaware river, as well as to spread his canvass over the beautiful waters of the Chesepeake bay ; and through the Herald beg leave to speak for him and his party. what I doubt not they will receive, from the “ yatchers” of each city, a warm and hearty welcome, The owner of the Coquette is a man of ample fortune, which enables him to luxuriatein the manly and deligt ful sport of yacht sailing, and is characterised for his spirit, liberality, and gentlemanly bearing towards all with whom he is brought in contact. ‘The Coquette is nearly eighty tons burthen, one year old, and was built for, and under the supervision of, her present owner. As she went down our harbor this morning with “every thing set,” her colors streaming and floating in a smashing South Easter, she did, indeed, move through the water * Like a thing of life.”’ And as she passed by the ends of the wharves, she was cheered to the echo, which was flung back from the deck of the gallant little craft, with three times three, and one more; and, asa finale, one “yoleanic, yooife- rous, and simultaneous Jo. ’ made tho welkin ring. LONG WHARF. NCe. Receiving Stolen Goods.—Officer Miller, of the 11th ward, arrested, yesterday, a woman called Mary Rice, on acharge of receiving stolen goods, belonging to Mr. Bishop. Detained for examination by Justice Ketcham, “Abandoning har Infant.—A woman, by the name of Mary Farrell, was arrested yesterday, by officer Cogan, of the 17th ward, on a charge of abandoning her infant, by depositing it in aceliar, in the Ist Avenue, where it was found by one of the neighbors. Upon being ex- amined by Dr, McDonnell, the efficiont Police Physician, she said that her husband had been in this country for twa years, and she had only been here two months; and that her husband was not the father of the child, nor did he know that she was in that situation, and for thet rea- son it was that she abandoned the little sufferer. Jus- tice Ketcham eommitted her for aturther hearing. Recovery of Stolen Property.—-Officers Crolius an Baker, of the 5th ward, recovered, yesterday, hone he old thief, two black silk mantillas, supposed to have been stolen in February last in the 8th or oth wards, neat Cn- nal street.

Fowler, a supposed Luna- tic.—In this matter, Mr. Alanson Nash presented a peti- tion from Jackson L.. Fowler, for s commission of luna- ey against the said Isaac T. Fowler, his father. ‘The pe- titioner by his petitien, set forth that the said Isaac T. Fowler was formerly resident of Courtland Township, Westchester county, and possessed a farm of about seventy-cight acres, on which he resided and supported his family. That he wasjalso possessod of.or entitled to a legacy of $1,500, left him by the grand-father of peti- tioner, The petitioner farther set forth, that the wup- posed iunatic was about forty-six years of age. ‘That ta the yeur 1842, he attended the lectures of Father Miller, and ultimately became a convert to his doctrines, and one ot his most active disciples. That he deserted his wife and children, and for the last five years has been an itinerant preacher of Millerism through all parts of the United States. That in 1843 he declared himself a ay het, only second to Father Miller, and forbid his family plunting or gathering crops, or in any manner to use the farm, declaring that it was no use, as the world was on the eve of dissolution. In the spring of Md re ae — acids stock and farming utensils, for $4,700, and assigns @ legacy of $1,000 for $700, after which he left for the State of Ohio, and when last heard from was at, or near Cincinnati, preaching the doctrines of Miller. The petitioner further stated that his father’s family 1d of a wife and four children, two sons and two daughters, and concluded by praying that a commission of lunacy might issue to enquire into the alleged insanity of the supposed lunatic, and when sueh insanity com- menced. The prayer of the Wagan was granted, and the Chancellor directed that the commission baexecuted in Westchester county, in the village of Sing Sing, as soon as due notice could be given to parties interest- ed, and has directed two eminent lawyers of that county, who with the physicfan of the State Tison at Sing Sing, are to hold the inquiry. Before the Vice Chancellor. Franklin C. Field vs. Charles A. Williamson and otherg.—This was a motion to dismiss bill of review filed by the complainant. It appeared that in Septei ber, 1545, an interlocut decree was obtained in a cause in gvhich the said Charles A. Williamson and others were plaintiffs, and the heirs and executors of Moses Field, were defendants. The decree directed the payment by defendants of $40,000, and the conveyance of certain real estate of coe amount. The decree be- ivg against minors, contained the usual clause giving them @ day to show cause after bee came of age. The laintiff in this cause being one of the infant defendants in said cause of Williamson vs. the heirs, &c. of Moses Field, hath lately obtained his full age, and filed the pre- sent Bill. alleging error in the decree, and praying its re |e Mr. Dupiey Firtp moved that the bill be dismissed on the following grounds :—First, that a bill of review does not lie to an interlocutory decree ; second, that a bill of review cannot be filed without the primary leave of the court ; third, that the decree had not been per- formed, and no security given for its performance ; and fourth, that an appeal been taken to the Chancellor from the whole decree. Mr. Josern L. Waits, with whom was Mr. Joun Jay, for complainant, insisted that the rule forbidding the ats of a bill of review without leave of the court, ap- lied to adult defendants only,and not to infants, who ave in all cases an absolute right to show cause on coming of age—and that even if it had applied to infants the leave was given to show cause by the decree itself, within six months after coming of age. That the decree was to all intents and purposes, except in the matter of costs, a final deoree. That the appeal to the Chancellor was a proceeding in another court,and.accord- ing to the affidavit upon which the motion was founded, did not stay proceedings under the decree, which conse- quently retained its vitality in this eourt. ‘The appeal could not, therefere, abridge the right given by the decree itself to an infant to show cause against it, which he had a right to do, without executing the decree, or giving security, and that a bill of review the proper form to set forth the reasons why it should not be enforced. The Court here intimated that the appeal superseded the bill of review. Mr. Jay as ian adlitem for the infant defendants in the cause, in which the decree was pronounced, asked the advice of the Court, in what form they should, on coming of age, show cause against it, ifthe bill of review ‘was not the proper course, as a motion for an attachment against them was pending for refusing to obey the de| cree,which they were not bound to obeyifthey came into show cause against it. Mr. Fixxp rejoined, and insisted that no bill of review could be filed by a minor, against an interlocutory de- cree. Healso contended they were stopped by the ap- peal ; the proper course (before they had brought their appeal,) was a motion by petition to rehear the cause, and correct the errors (if any) on the face of the decree. The Vick Cuance..or said as it was somewhat ofano- vel ME nas he would take the papers and reserve his decision. New Yorx Count or Common Pieas, May 4, 1847.— Important LeGan Decision.—Moses G. Leonard, Com- missioner of the lms House vs. Amos Robbins. ‘This wasa suit brought at the instance of the “ New York Sportsmen’s Club’? by the Commissioner of the Alms House, to recover for the use of county of N. York, several penalties for the violation of the Game Laws. Messrs. Porter and McMahon appeared as counsel for plaintiff; and Messrs, Tomlinson, Bryan and Levy for defendant. Judge Ingraham presiding. The case was opened to the jury on the part of the plaintiff! by Mr. McMahon, and from his statement (which we abridge,) it appeared that the act he claimed to reeover under, was passed 6th May, 1887, and was ei titled “ An act to amend title 16, chapter 20, of the 1s and 6th parts ef the revisedistatutes, entitled an act for the preservation of deer and certain game and animals, and the act extending the same passed 14th March, 1843.” The third section of this act was stated by the learned counsel as being the one upon which this action was founded; and as it affects the community at large we here insert it at length. “Every person who aball expose for sale an: tridge or quail in either of the said coun- ties—New York, Kings, Queens, Westchester, Orange, Putnam, Roekland, Erie, Greene, Monroe, Albany, Rens- salaer, &c., respectively, or shall purchase, or procure, or have in possession any of the said game in either ef tho said counties, during the time prohibited by law, shall be deemed guilty of killing thesame, and liable to the penalties established, within the time prohibited,” viz: woodcock, between the Ist day of February and the lst day of July in any year: partridge or quail between tho 6th day of January and the 26th day of October im any year. The ceunsel further stated the facts of the case were asfollows: The defendant, Mr. Robbins, had been for years past an open violator of the ¢ laws, and that on the 23d of October, 1846, he was discovered aving in his possession from 60 to 70 partridges, and sonfe 12 or 14 quails, openly exposed for sale,out of season, to the public in Fulton market. Information was immediately given to the <commissioner of the Alms Heuse Depart ment, who, having theroughly examined the question, concluded that it was a proper case for enforcing the law, and socordingly commenced this suit To support his opening, Mr. McMahon éalled three highly respecta- ble gentlemen, upon whose evidence it appeared, that on the 23d October, 1846, the said witnesses were in Fulton market, and observed near his stand @ box and a basket belonging to him, each of which were filled with game; they counted:20 partridges in the basket, and 31 in the box, and there still appeared in each many more of that description of e. Besides this, one of the witness testified that Robbins took him aside behind his poultry stand, and opened drawer he had therein, and showed him 6 quails and seme 10 or 12 partridges. On the cross examination, Mr. Bryan endeavored to elicit from the witnesses that they had entrapped “ poor Robbins,” (to use the counsel’s own phrase.) in this dif- ficulty, and that this suit was prosecuted for the benefit of the club; but upon objection taken by Mr. McMa- hon, most of these enquiries ruled out; and all the witnesses could state upon this point, was, that they went to Fulton market with the bona fide intention of seeing if any game was exposed for and saw what was previously stated. Upon this evidence Mr.MeMabon rested the plaintiff's case. The defence was then opened by Mr. Bryan, who in- geniously endeavored to stigmatise all laws relative to the preservation of game, as savoring of oppression, and illustrated his remarks by reference to the game laws instituted by the Conqueror, &c. He also stated that the birds in question were killed in Connecticut, and that bh ould insist. as a matter of constitutional law, that the act under which this suit was brought, was un- constitutional and void. Mr. Bryan then introduced witness to prove that the birds were killed in the St: of Connecticut, and brought by him to Mr. Robbins— therefore the law did not appl ‘to him. ‘Yo this testimony Mr. McMahon objected, as being in evidence that the birds were ex- posed for sale in this city. Messrs. Bryan and ‘Toml son endeavored to convince the court that they had a right to introduce this evidence; but after considerable argument on their part, the evidence was ruled out, and immaterial, it Leaps the case compelted to go to the Jury. ‘The Courtcharged in substance. Ist. That for each and every bird a penalty of $5 ac- erued, Qdly. That the fact'that theso birds were killed in Connvoticut had nought to do with the case; at least he should decide so for the purpose of this trial. Sdly, That if they believed the witnesses, they must caloulate how many birds were exposed for sale, and find accordingly. Tnaters re then dismissed for the day to bring in a sealed verdict, and on the 6th May, 1847, they returned a verdict for plaintiff for two hundred and ninety dol- lars ($290), being for fifty-eight (58) birds had in posses- sion and exposed for sale by Mr, Robbins. This case then, decides two very important points, namely—That birds, even though killed out of this State cannot be brought and sold or exposed for aale here with impunity, and that a penalty of $5 accrues for every bird found in possession or exposed for sale, or purchased or procured by any individual within the “aforesaid coun- ties prohibited by law out of season, and it cannot but have a favorable impression upon the community at large, and expecially the sporting community, as tending to put an end to the indiscriminate slaughter of gamo out of season. expan—This Day.— Common Pleas—Part 1: 85, 99, 101, 103, 105, 107, 109, 11, 35,65.
