NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Sunday, May 30, 1847. 2 American Volunteer Soldiery. By the last accounts from General Seott’s | army we learn that almost all of the twelve months volunteers are leaving him, pre- ferring to return to their homes and fami- lies to revelling inthe Halls of the Mon- tezuemas.. They have fulfilled their duty as American citizens—marched to the rendezvous and enlisted—shouldered their rifles and march- ed to the enemy’s country at the call of their go- vernment, and having achieved honor and glory for themselves, and fought and won battles that have cast lustre on the American arms, they now are leaving the camp, and many of them will soon resume their business occupations. , What a glorious spectacle is here presented.— What nation can present a parallel to it?’ These toil-worn and sun-beaten soldiers return for the purpose of making room for new levies, who, like them, have enlisted under their country’s flag, and like them, will carry it triumphantly where- ever they go. There is no shilling-a-day patriot- ism in American volunteers. They and their gallant officers fight for glory and the honor and credit of their country, and not for money. By the way, what a signal rebuke the conduct of our volunteers furnishes to the malignant slanders that were daily spewed forth by the English press, the editors of which accused our citizen soldiery of being animated by one single motive in fighting against the Mexicans in this war. They have reite- yated the assertion that the main object our citizens had in volunteering was to rob the churches of Mexico of their riches and wealth— that the desire of gain, no matter how acquired, and not patriotism, actuated them to take part in the strife. We have outlived the slanders of the English press in every instance, and we have done so in this. The twelve months volunteers are now within a few days march of the city of Mexico, where countless thousands are locked up in the church- es and cathedrals—where solid gold and silver vases, candlesticks, and images are scattered in profasion—the! very balustrades of these buildings being made of the precious metals; and yet, after their term of service has expired, and their duty to their country fulfilled, we see them, like good citizens and honest men, returning to their homes, and caring nothing for this wealth. It may be consistent enough for the English, who, in their wars, have plundered, sacked, and robbed several of the cities they conquer- ed in warfare, and whose cry at New Orleans was ‘* Booty and Beauty,” to epeak in this manner; but the mode of war- fare practised by enlightened England is not reeognised as humane or proper on this side of the Atlantic. The wealth of the Mexican | churches is as safe from robbery by our volun- teer soldiery, as if it were locked up inthe bowels of the earth. Lieut. Cuartes G. Hunrer.—The court mar- tial and sentence on this gallant officer is re- ceiving much comment at the present time, and is freely talked of by our citizens. As we have published the sentence, we are inclined to pub- lish the following article, which we have ex- tracted from the Suffolk Co. Democrat of the 21st inst:— The trial and sentence of Lieut. Charles G. Hunter brings to mind a case of disobedience of orders very si- milar, and will be interesting to our citizens generally, as weil as to many of our young and gallant officers of the navy. We know of no case more suitable to aj position than the following :—At a time when the Island of Cuba was infested with pirates, who were committing the most horrid outrages and murder against the com- merce and lives of citizens of all nations, ney ee (now Commodore) Kearney, with the U. 8. brig Enterprize, ‘was sent to break up this horde of pirates. During the cruise, he discovered a nest of pirates off Cape Antonio in lon of a ship and two brigs, the ship and one brig American, the other Hnglish, which they were plundering in the vicinity of one of their strong holds, a dangerous reef provecting them from the approach of vessels, and s battery on shore to protect them from boats or small vessels. Commodore Kearney immediately ordered the brig's boats to be manned, and also two or three boats belong- ing to the merchant vessel. This command he gave to his gallant second officer, Lieut. James Mcintosh, with positive orders not to part company or separate the ‘ts. With these orders Lieut. Mcintosh left his ves- sel, but it was not long betore he found that in obeying orders he could pees sg nothing, as the boats of the merchant vessels could not keep up with him, (being dull and heavy,) and it was necessary to pull ahead as fast as pessible, to cut off one of the pirates’ vessels, which was attempting to escape, and consequently he separated his forces, but succeeded in capturing four pirate ‘vessels and setting fire to and blowing up a fifth, ides destroying a large amount of praqperty on shore, with their habitations, striking terror to a community of villains that had committed such vast depredations and bloodshed. ‘This gallant act was not accomplished without great bazerd, and during a tremendous thunder storm, which lasted one hour, the rain pouring down in torrents all the time. On returning to his vessel that night, fatigued and without provisions for his crew, what was the reception he met with from the bra nd magnanimous Kearney? ‘Why, in admiration of his gallant and meritorious act, that reflected honor on the service, the noble Kearne; recei him as hero, complimented him for his bravery andeuccess, and in the best of humor told Lieut. McIntosh that he took a great responsibility on himself, and said—“ Come, Sir, you have eaten nothing to-day, I waited dinner for you; let us retire.” in the cabin he drank to the health of his lieuter and with the feelii of a generous soul, said—* Sir, your conduct is characteristic of the noble spirits which compose our navy, and which has this day added lustre to our arms, and done an incaleulable service to the commercial interests of the world. I drink to the officer who dared to take the responsibility, and ronder society such essential service.” Loos will Commodore Kearney with Lieut. McIntosh, be remembered by a grateful pub- lie, One or the Crew. Lieut. Hunter is now in this city, and there will soon be presented to him a magnificent # word, belt, and epaulettes by our citizens. AMERICAN STEAMSHIP WasHINGTON.—From ten to three o’clock yesterday, this magnificent spe- cimen of naval architecture was thrown open to the public; and between those hours, not less than ten thousand ladies and gentlemen inspect- edher. It is needless to say, that they were all delighted and gratified. This noble steamship presents a beautiful ap- pearance in the dock, and her beautiful model and proportions are the theme of remark by all who behold her. Her gigantic size—her mould —her rig—her machinery—in fact everything pertaining to her is perfect, and is equal to any- thing now afloat. We understand that one hundred an@ fifteen berths are engaged, and that she will sail on Tuesday next punctually, atthe hour advertised. Her mail will be as large as any ever taken by a steamship from the United S New Orpen rrom THe SeCRETARY OF THE Navy—The Secretary of the Navy has issued an order regulating the rank of the pursers. It *places pursers of twelve years standing on the rank with commanders according to date of commission, and pursers of less than twelve years the rank of lieutenants, according to date of commission, besides other proper regulations required by the importance of their duties. This is a just and wise regulation of Mr. Mason. The pursers are a most important corps of the naval service, doing the duty on board ship which is required of paymasters, quartermas- ters, and commissaries, in the army. We are gratified that justice has been done in this mat- ter Likur. Wittiam D. Porrer.—We understand that the friends of Lieut. Wm. D. Porter are exer@ag themselves to procure for that distin- guished officer the command of one of the Ame- Tican ocean steamships, A more ski@¥! navi- gator certainly cannot be found, and his perfect acquaintance with steam navigation eminently qualifies him for the office. We wish his friends every success in their efforts. Later rrom Matanzas.—We are in receipt of files of the Aurora de Matanzas to the Vth inst. The news they contain, however, is mere- ly local, and devoid of general interest. ” Whkeatrical, l Pann Tuxatas.—Mile. Blangy had only a stim house last night. In fact it appeared almost impossible to get ‘8 good house last week on any conditions. The perform- ancea were good, an@ the audience appeared delighted. Mile, B, goes to Boston this week, and the Bostonians Will give her a good reseption. She created » great sem- sation in New Orleans last winter, and has been enthu- siastically received wherever she has appeared since. | Her dancing is of a character the most pleasing; her idea of graceful posture is only equalled by the easy man- ner in which she assumes the most classic attit 54 and her face beaming with intelligent animation is a most harmonious accompaniment to a beautiful form. Mons. Bouxary, who accompanies her, is an artist of great merit. Mrs. Mason and Mr. Wheatley appear at the Park to-morrow night. Bowery Tueatxe.—Mr. Booth will make his last ap pearance, and take a benefit this evening at the Bowery theatre. It is hardly necessary to say that the house will be crowded to overflowing. The bill is one which of itself would fill any house, It consists of the great tragedy of “ Venice Preserved, or a Plot discovered.” and the comedy of the “Mayor of Garratt,” in bot! of which Mr. Booth will appear. Amareun Tueatricats at Pacmo’s Orena House,—A talented company of amateur performers, it will be por- ceived by the bills of the day, will appear at Palmo’s on Thursday evening next, in two celebrated and popular pieces—“Damon and Pythias’ and the “Irish Lion.” Young and rising talent, particularly local talent, has at all times a claim upon public su; , and we feel as- sured that the attractive bill put sh for the occasion and the cast, of whom fame speaks loudly, and flatteringly, will draw together a full and bumper house. Mr. MeDonald’s Damon will, probably, be an able per- sonation of the character. He will be well wupported by Mr. D’Artists as Pythias. and Mr. Connor as Dionysius, and, indeed, by the entire company. Miss Newkirk, Mrs. Mnoell. and Miss Stanhope will also perform on the occasion. We anticipate a “jam” house for the ama- teurs on Tuesday evening next. See the bills of the day. isa Julia Dean is about to play an engagement in St. ouis. Musical. Iraian Orena.—Signor M. Rapetti takes a benefit at Palmo's Opera House to-morrow evening, and has yield- ed to the request of many friends, who desire that he should give the whole of “ Lucia di Lammermoor,” in- stead of parts of two operas, The ‘ Lucia’ will, there- fore, be given unclipt; and if a favorite opera, and a de- serving loader and excellent musician, are inducements sufficient to fill the house, there will be but fow spare sents at Palmo’s. (On Monday evening, Signor Rapetti will execute the solo, introductory to Lucia’s Cavatina, on the violin. previous to all. however, there Is to be given a grand concertante piece; flute, clarionet, oboe, | bassoon, andFrench horn obligato; and between the acts, a young American artist, pupil of 3 whom he is to play the duo. by Mower, which is go great a favorite of C. Sivori’s. There has nothing left wanting by the beneficiary. Let the public show how they appreciate his effort. On Wednesday evening, Signor Sanquirico takes a benefit. The announcement should be enough, and with those who know what sacrifices,Signor 8. has made during the past season. we are sure it will be sufficient to bring them out. ‘Semiramis’ will be the opera for the occasion. Cunisty’s Mixsrrsts.—These most wonderfully suc- cossful performers, intend remaining at Mechanics’ Hall for one week longer. The extraordinary patronage at- tending their concerts, which have been nightly crowd- od for a succession of fourteen {weeks, by the beauty and fashion of the city, has induced them to defer their intended visit to Boston for the present, and remain in this city one week longer, which intelligence will be re- ceived with pleasure by their thousands of admirers. They are without doubt the most popular performers that have ever been in this city engaged in any similar amusement. Swiss Ganvex,—Our up-town citizens need not come down town for the purpose of enjoying an evening’s re- creation, because Mr. Elsasser Schmidt, the proprietor of the Swiss Garden, corner of 324 street and Railroad avenue, has fitted up that placo in the first style, and has engaged Dinglo’s German Brass Band to, perform every evening. The exertions of Mr. Schmidt will no doubt be duly appreciated. Castix Ganven.—A Concert of Sacred Music, by Dodsworth’s Cornet Band, will be performed this even- ing at Castle Garden. In addition to the attraction which this offers, we understand that the Cosmoramas have been re-arranged by » competent person, under the direction of the managers. We kuow of no better place to spend # Sunday evening, than the Castle Gar. en, VAUXHALL Ganpex.—We say without hesitation that no place of amusement in the upper part of the city, offers so many inducements as Vauxhall Garden does. ‘To-morrow evening there will be » grand-perform- ance, In addition to the regular company, Mr. Harri- son, the great comic singer, will delight the audience with his extemporanoous singing. We have glanced at the bill for that evening, and saw that it was one well calculated to attract a large number of visiters. Herz was to give a concert at the Planters’ Hotel, St. Louis, on the evening of the 21st. ‘The Swiss bell ringers are to pass the present week in Providence, where they open to-morrow evening. ‘They are to be assisted by Miss Maria and Miss Julia Barton. Pott tel Nee. May 29.—Dishonest Son.—Policemen Gr Quinn, of the 4th ward, arrested last night in ham theatre, a small boy about 10 years of age, by name of Stephen Miles, on a charge of breaking open a trunk and stealing therefrom $22 in money, belonging to his father, residing at No. 28 Roosevelt street. ‘wo other boys were likewise arrested as accomplices, called Charles Judge and Michael Peters. A portion of the money was found on these young rascals. Justice Or- borne locked them up in the Tombs. is False Pretences—A young man by the name of Fred- erick Trotter, was arrested yesterday by officer Olmstead oftne 3d ward. on a charge erobtaining a vest, worth $3, from Mr. Benj. Tallman, by false representations. e case was taken before Justice Osborne, who did not con- sider the charge sufficient to detain the accused; conse- tuently the magistrate discharged him from custody. Arrest of an Escaped Lunatic. —Officer Miller, of the 10th ward, arrested yesterday a man by the name of John Johnson, who was charged’with being an escaped convict from the asylum on Blackwell's nd. Justice Ketcham sent him back to his old quarters. Petit Larceny.—Officer Bapp, of the 13th ward, rested yesterday called Maria Delany, on a charge of stealing lico dress, @ cotton dress, and ne 1 other articles, of small value, for which an owner is wanted.

Recovery of Gold Spectacles.—Oficer Humphrey, of the 14th ward, found in the Bowery on Friday last. pair of gold mounted spectacles. for which an owner is wanted. Apply to the above officer at the station house, Clearing up’ for Summer.—Officer McManus, of the 6th ward, together with some officers, brought in from the Five Points yesterday, forty women of the very lowest grade, disfigures with Tummy” faces, black eyes, and cut heads, and when all together in the office formed an odour of no ordinary quality, which induced Justice Os- borne to commit them all for the term ot six months to Blackwell's Island, in order to purify and recruit them for the fall campaign. , Law Intelligence. urERron Court.

Our sharpest business men have placed “ confidence” in him, and for their reward have been swindled in sums varying from five to one hundred dollars. For the purposé of stopping the career of this scoun- drel in this city, we give a sketch of an interview that took place between him and a gentleman whom he had selected as a victim. We give it in his own words: A short time since | was sitting. in my office reading, when @ well dressed, genteel man, id, entered, aud Raving mado bis bee “ached ine if 1 was Dr——, the proprietor. | answered in the af- firmative, supposing that the gentleman wished to seo me profession: decei le Wye however, | was soon un: ved. then delivered himself as follows, having first assured me that although he did not want ‘to see me profession- ally, he wished to speak to me in private:— ® Doctor . Loan safely ay, ‘that I am a man of the world in the most extensive point of view, having been thrown on my own resources since I was ten years old. I have travelled throug every State in the Union, through every town in each State, through England, France, and in fact through the whole continent of Europe. I have made man ond man’s ways my sole study, and after the closest observation, I must candidly confess, that I believe every man more or less a rogue. It is true that some piifer legally and are considered by the community honorable men; while others, disdaining the protection offered by the laws, (as at present con- stituted) are hunted down by their fe men as rogues, robbers, and scoundrels, for arriving at the same end only by o different ‘road. Well, I have had extensive experience in both courses, for although I appear young, | have been engaged in’ a heavy mer- cantlle businees in the South, the failure of which T attri. bute to my placing confidence in the wrong kindof men. Ihave since tried the other course, and | am not asham- ed to say, 1 have occasionally been what the law terms a rogue; but on that subject w and I are at issue.— Doctor, you may think the subject I am at present speaking to you on, # strange one, for one stranger to broach to another.and I am sure you do; however, let me undecelve you. We are not strangers to one another, for although you never saw me before, believe me, I have made the mast ample enquiry about you, end of tosatis- factory a nature was it, that | have anxiously sought the present interview, the object of which I will now dis- close, For the last six or eight months, I have been on the look out for # man in whom I can place the most im- plicit confidence—one who would be willing to stand by me when in troublo, as well as to share my good fortune when in prosperity; in fact, I want a second self—such a Tian 1 believe youto be, Donot look frightened. The ser- vice I wish you to render me ts perfectly secure from the fangs of the Iuw—the most timid has no cause to be alarmed at it—neither do I wish you to undertake it un- til you are perfectly convinced It is so; in fact, 1 want to place from time to time, large sums of money in the safe keeping of @ person holding a respectable position in society, in the keeping of one above supicion; for, al- though the money will be legally obtained, (as I will prove to you) stills person of my character, (known to he law. authorities) with a large sum of money about bis person, isnever safe, boing liable to bearrested at any ime, “ would expect that if at any time I should be so un-, fortunate as to be arrested, if ] can prove to you ry in- nocence of the charge on which I have been detained that you will procure bail for me, provided you have fands in your hands of mine sufficient to warrant you to do so. This is the servieo I require from the confiden- tial friend I am in want of; and from what [ have heard of you, I believe you most capable of being that friend. Now sir, | ask you, do you sufficiently understand me? are you willing to ‘place that confidence in me which I may consider necessary before | further disclose the object of my visit. However, before you decide, allow me to relate little occurrence that happened to me when I was last on the Mississippi. “I was travelling last summer on one‘of the boats on the Mississippi, when one morning about seven o'clock, while smoking a cigar on deck, I was accosted by a very gentlemanly person, and after a few moments conversa- tion, he.invited me into the cabin to of a bottle of wine with him ; as I was alone, and wished for society, I accepted his invitation; and, having entered the cabin, | perceived two gentlemen already seated at the table with wine before them. My new friend being acquainted with them introduced me, and the wine circulated pretty freely between us, After two or three bottles, cards wete introduced. and although a good player at most games, from the heated state of my brain, and no doubt a combination between the other three, I was swindled of every cent I had before we parted, I believe I lost about one hundred and eighty dollars at thet sitting. You may easily guess what my feelings were when | awoke next morning, on a strange boat, without a cent in my pocket ora friend near me, I never, until then, understood the real value of a confidential friend. After sitting the usual time at the breakfast table, without eating any- thing, I went on deck, and after walking up and down for halfan hour or 40, | took a seat beside a middle aged gentleman, who was, at the time, busy reading a book that seemed to interest him very much. In the course of afew moments he turned round and, for the first time, perceived that he was not alone. I ventured to make some common observation on the weather ; he placed his book on his knee, and turning round, he said, “My friend, I believe that you were one of the four young men that were gambling the greater part of last night in the cabin ; I also think, from the expression of your face you were the unsuccessful one. I acknowledged he was right in both particulars ; and also told him that I was at sent without a shilling, and a thousand miles awa from anyfriend or acquaintance. After looking stend- fastly at me for some time, he said: Young man, what do you intend to do? who do you think will trust you, or believe what you tell them? 1 paused for a minute or two, and came to the resolution of letting him know more of my history than he then did. I told him a good many of my exploits, both honorable and dishonorable. I showed him how, by necessity,I was driven to some, by a vicious inclination to thers. However, I spoke in such a manner that I convinced him I was then sincere, and related nothing but the truth; I brought my story to an end by atating that, if I could get any person that would advance me fifty dollars, until I reached New York, that I should consider that person a friend and benefactor as long as I lived,” At this part of my confidential friend's story. he be- came, or seemed to become, very much affected, and drawing his hand across his eyes, said to me—* Doctor, Uwill never forget, that man's reply. My friend,” said he, “Iam a storekeeper in New York, doing a small business. 1 came on here to try to form a new connec- tion. with a'view to forward my prospects. | have about me about two hundred dollars, which I am reserving for my next rent day. I believe your story, and although I think you have repeatedly gone astray still | have confl- dence in you, and firmly believe you will retarn what I now lend you’’—at the same time he handed me five ten dollar bills. 1 tried to thank him, but I could not. 1 put the bills in my pocket, and abruptly walked away from him, About an hour after I placed a card in his hand, on which I had written the day he might expect to see me in New York. Having looked at it, he said, “I feel confident that you will perform what you promise.” ‘The day marked on that card was last Thursday. Al- though in the ity for three woeks, I did not present if until the day I had promised. 'I went at twelve o'clock, and to m: ise found him in as great trouble asl was when he took me by the hand on beard the Mississippi steamer, He had speculated unfortunatel: with the funda he had to pay his rent, and although within four days of rent day, he bad not a cent towards the payment, ‘Thank God, I was then in a situation to return the compliment, I first paid him his fifty dollars, and then he became my debtor for three hundred and fifty dollars, the balance of his rent.” My confidential friend at tho samo time produced from lis walstoost pooket a small piece of white paper, folded up, and hold- ing it between his forefinger and thumb, he aid, “ There is his due bill for it, but he shall have his own time for payment,” “Now, sir, I ask you, and I bog you wil'give mo a ean- did answer,’ would you, if you were placed in the same situation as my former benefactor—would you, I say, act inthe same manner?” My confidential friend paused for a reply, and not knowing what answer to give. | merely bowed my head in token of acquiescence. “ Well, then,” said he, “I shall put you to the trial. Now, sir, listen to me. 1 do not want money—[at the same time producing a large roll of what I thought to be bank bills} —I do not want your watch or ornaments—[producing his gold watch and chain]—I would rather give to you than receive from you; but before entering into the ial. nutia of the business we will have to transact together, I wish to see whether you have that implicit confidence in me which I consider absolutely necessary. Will you have the kindness to allow me to look at your watch ?” I immediately handed him the watch, at tho same time drawing nearer the door, and holding the chair in my hand. “ It is a handsome,wateh,” said he; “ would you lend it to me for a quarter of an hour—that is, if you think I would return it?” To this I objected. Ah!” sald ho, ‘it is ® family present, and vou do not wish to rt with it even fora moment. Well, will you let me avo twenty dollars for ten minutes?” | shook m head. “Ah! you have not so much about you. Well, ten, or even five—anything to satisfy me that you believe me.”” At this moment a thought struck me that the roll of paper he produced a short time ago was not money, but merely paper, cut and rolled together to represent bills. I then said to him—* My friend, as you came here to seek my confidence, 1 think you ghould do something more than words to gain it. Now let me see that roll of bills you have in your pocket, and if they are what you pretend they are, bills of specte paying banks, I will then have more confidence in what you say. | also wish to see the due bill ot your former benefactor. Satisty me in those two particulars, and I will then believe you—but if you failsto do what I ask, | am bound to believe you one of those systematic swindlers, who prow! about the city to take in the un- wary. My confidential friend, looked at me for aminute or two; at the ame ume moving towards the door, and then said, “Sir, am sorry to say I have been mistaken in your character’’—at the same time he ran out much quisher tan he entered, 6 ‘imen of the way in which this accom- plished in. decetves his Yictions, He has alwa; about nis person a large roll of biils, which are no doubt counterfeits, All ne wants is a confidential friend with whom he can deposit his spare funds in safety, and ining the confidence of poople, he manages to chent them. We recommend our citizens to be on their Ler} and in case this confidential-seeking gentleman shoud visit them, to introduce him imm iately to the confidence of a police officer, Awnina Posts.—The evils and the accommodation of these incumbrances are among the topics under consi- | deration at the present day. The action of the corpo- yin in this ge! of city improvements has awaken- ed the sense of the community at large, and the resol tion of that honorable body has been ‘sustained and a juiesced in by our trading community without any com- plaint. Thus far the matter has been carried out nobly, and become even atopic of complimentary approval, The evils ofawning posts obstructing our public thoroughfares are numerous. One among the many may be sufficient to mention—thot is, obstructing the side-walks. When the street lamps are left without u light, as is frequently the caso, it is almost impossible to pursue our evening heard of. His deportment isgo eagy and gentlemanly,and | ace and other out the light of the stars, Soe ope to Soy sf ee ot ee oot Pom wathant gittinn thar ree tore and soiled. ‘The law requires # certain height, and no two tS alike—no uniformity—no palma rity of sty are an accom! ion, ro- pnd wil consequences, aa are stated above. Those who are in favor of the mm are disposed to support and countenance the evil; those who conform to the resolu- tions of the Common Council are in favor of Cptecpones | the evil, as it now exists. What reason can be to continue the present incumbrances, unless it be a spirit of opposition, noone can tell. It ‘wants but one resolution of the Common Council to have them all re- moved at once.

Dr. Strong, of Greenfeld, is the only other clergyman of our church, in this diocese, who has muriained the pastoral relation to one flock for so long & period. ‘A fresh persecution of the Jews seems to have begun at Jerusaleni, where three Jews are said to have been ar- rested, for attempting to open the veins ofa christian boy about twelve years old, whose blood they are fabled to have coveted for one of the ceremonies at tho fonst of the passover. Calvary Church, New York, will be consecrated on the 4th of June next. Emmanuel Church, Landsford, Chester District, 8, C., was consecrated a few days since. ‘The church isa sim- pleg neat building, on a .d spot, about six miles from the ford over the Catawba river, called Landsford, and 16 from the Court-house, at Chesterville. It is 40 by 30 feet, celled, and by about 3 feet on granite piliars, and is capable of accommodating more than 200 persons. Its cost was about $400, and is quite creditable to those who have designed and executed it. Not rich in earthly treasure, they have thus given some evidence that they are not without faith, and not unmindful of “those things which are not seen but eternal.” ‘The Bishop of Australia is on the point of opening a Collegiate Institute in the immediate vicinity of Syd- ney. Its object is, in the first place, to train up young men for the colonial ministry; but,'in addition, profes- sorships in the classics and’ mathematics have boen added for the advantage of laymen. The course of in- struction will extond over three years, and no student is is to be admitted until he has attained the age of six- teen years. It is reported that the clergy and laity of North Wales are busily engaged in preparing a plan to carry out the immodiate bullding of college, similar to the flourishing little establishment at Lampeter, but the plan of studies to be pursued is to be somewhat differ- ont. The college is to be called the “ Powia College,”” founded on a testimonial about to be built in one of the counties of North Wales, but the site is not fixed upon. The Rev.

Mesa’s Famiy.—Among the Mexican prisoners arrived at New Orleans, in charge of Major Bennet, is First Lieutenant Henry Mejia, aid-de- camp to Gen, de la Vega. Lieut Mejia is the son of the late Gen. Mejia, leader of the federal forces in Mexico, opposed to Santa Anna of the central party. He is quite young man, ‘and behaved very gallantly at the battle of Cerro Gordo, having his horse shot from under bim and being wounded. Like La Vega, he was found at his post. Gen. Brooke received his parole of honor, and he is now residing with his mother, a resident of New Or- leans, until further orders. Gen. Mejia married an American lady and some of our readers may recollect # young lady, their daughter, who visited this city about a year since, and was quite the cynosure of sundry susceptible in our midst. She was fogs prota ‘spoke our by oy» with a charm- ing fluency,and was very piquant in her Mexican patriot- ism. We once had occasion to hear her version of Palo Alto. Arista’s reverse she attributed to tne poor milita- ty appointments of the Mexicans. “We send to the French,” said she, “our good money, and they send us their bad ammunition.” When she left for New Or- the might have nad an air-paseage upon the sighs of disconsolate swains. They were ready to blow a hur- ricane shortly after, when the tidings of her marriage “to another” were received. Lake, Crampiarn.—Since the opening of the navigation of this lake, the northern travel has been greater than at any former period, #0 early in the xeason, Steamboats and canal boats are crowded; and | we are assured by those who are conversant with this business, that not less than six hundred a day are now passing over the Champlain canal, independent of the different stages which leave Whitehall. This argues well for the Saratoga and Washington Railroad, which is now going forward repidiy,,and which is to be opened ina year. It cannot fail to prove a valuable investment to the stockholders. Srrance Disarrearance.—An individual well known in this city, Mr. Barney Costello, resid- ing at the corner of Craps and Bagatelle streets, third municipality, took passage some time ago on the steam- boat Sultana, to accompany his daughter to the Louis- ville convent On the arrival of steamer back, Mrs. Costello, who was expecting her husband, went on board to enquire after him. There she learned that Mr. Cos- tello had fallen overboard whilst going to Louisville, and was drowned. Subsequently, however, she was inform- od that her daughter, instead of being in the Louisville convent, as she supposed, had ‘boarded for some time in the St. Charles. Il her efforts to meet her child were useless, the latter having left the above-mentioned hotel, and gone to parts unknown. Mrs. Costello, fearing that both her husband and daughter were, perhaps, the victims of some foul machination, perplexed beyond measure, and lost in grief, went yesterday to Recorder Genois’ office, and prayed his honor to notify before him all the officers of the Sultana. The subpoenas were areal the case will be investigated shortly.—N. 0, jee, 21st inst. Miscellaneous. Monday last was the birth day of Her Most Gracious Majesty, and a sorry day it was in Hamilton.

Emigration to Oaxcos.—A letter from Princeton, Illinois, dated May 3d, says :—I¢ the emigration to Oregon may be estimated by the number of m8 which have passed by my house this spring, it w' very large. More than 100 wagons have passed through Princeton this season; on their way to that distant country. Sometimes ten or fifteen of them, with their accompaniments of men, women, children, and cattle go by inaday. Many are from Northern Indiana, Michi- gan ity Mg hey usually carry cooking stoves in their wagons, of very small size. Most of them seem to bepecne of some substance, and will unquestionably make good settlers. The severe and genoral sickness of the last season has been the moving cause of much of this emigration.”5 The work of setting up the posts for the Washington and New Orleans M jo Telegraph is progrossing handsomely at the Southern end of the line, The ship fever has made its appearance among the paupers (many of whom have lately landed at Boston) occupying the buildings at the poor farm in Concord, New Hampehire.

Upon the subject of trade, Governor Dana assumes the position that business, if left to itself will regulate itself, Hi i “ The wor has been enthralled, for ages, with too much legislation; shackles have been put upon trade, restrictions upon’ the free Interchange of commoditics, itty Rite peta ping nes . but in je Purpose privileges and ‘undue advani to favorite iterests or ‘The war. question is next considered, in relation to which the language of the message fs :—' The military arm of our government has furnished material for a most brilliant page in our nation’s annals—Palo Alto, Resaca de Ia Palma, Monterey, Buena Vista, Vera Cruz, Cerro Gordo, have become imperishable monuments of our nation’s fame—and s Taylor, with hundreds of asso- gintes, has been added to the long list of our natio eroes. * Still, this ploture of national Slory has its reverse. * sow in tncAlthough feeling, acutely the miseries that follow in the train of war, still lean have no sympathy with that weak sensibility, which always shrinks from it, magnifies its horrors, and underrates the benefits in which it is expected to result. Such a feeling would blot out the history of the American Revolution, snatch from oppressed humanity the untold blessings it has re~ alized, or anticipates from this glorious movement ; and withdraw from the world’s admiration her brighte amples of self-sacrifice and patriotism—would restore to kings the divinity of their rights, and relmpose upon subjects the divinity of their wrongs—would renounce even heaven itself, because its approach is through trials and sufferings.’ ‘According to the argument upon the topic of the in- troduction of Texas into the Union, it is held that ico, in agreeing to acknowledge the independence of ‘Texas, on condition that she would not incorporate her- self into the American Union, did thus admit to all in- tents, that this territory was sovereign and independ. ent. “The rejection by Texas of the condition, cannot weaken the force of the Mexican admission, that she was in fact a sovereign and independent state.” This t is followed by a brief review of the conduct ofthe Mexican government towards us, after the annexation was consummated :— “ It was not the advancing our troops upon what some are pleased to term the disputed territory—but it was @ juestion of territory—of title—in which was involved a Mill deoper quostion—the right of a people to establish for themselves @ government by revolution—the right even of Mexico or the United States to exist as an inde- dent power. Mexico never raised the question of undary; never would listen to our frequent overtures to negotiate a treaty of boundary on the most liberal terms; but uniformly met them with the assumption that Texas was hers; the Sabine was her boundary, and, that she had no recourse left but war, and war she has, solely the result ofthat assumption. | * * * “In view of all these facts,will ordinary candor tolerate the pretence that any just rights of Mexico have been violated. or permit a doubt of the truth of the declara- tion of the American Congress, ‘ that war exists by the act of Mexico ?? ”” ‘Phe question of indemnity is next considerod, and the Governor sees no other way but for Mexico to cede to the United States a portion of her territory. Next comes the argument introduced ‘as follows :— “The territory which we may acquire as indemnity for claims upon Mexico is free; shall it be made slave ter- Htory 2” ‘Upon this question, which is treated at considerable length, the Message may be said to be of the Wilmot proviso stamp. ‘The attention of the Legislature is called to the sub- Ject of the militia, and recommends that an organiza- tion of some kind be immediately made, and leaves it in the hands of the representatives of the people, remark- ing— That thé-present disorganized state of the militia is in direct violation of the laws ofthe United States.” ‘The hospitals, particularly the hospital for the insane, and the State prison, are next. commended te the care: ful consideration of the Legislature, The subject of the public schools is treated as its importance deserves. ‘Agricultural schools, and the distribution of prizes, are suggested. ‘lroads next claim the attention, and are treated with great favor; and thon the finances are considered; the; evils of an unstable currency, are commented upon at considerable length, and the Legislature is called upon to fix upon some sure principles by which the State’s financial affairs may be regulated. © The Message closes with the following ph:— ST cannot close this communication without calling your attention to the great evil resulting from frequent changes in our public laws. ‘They should be so perma- nent and unchanging that the public may become fa- miliar with them, and with the constructions which our Courts may have given them. Without this there must be constant uncertainty and litigation. Itis not suff- cient that a proposed amendment has no objectionable feature; the change itself is objectionable, and should be resisted, unless it will obviously produce a positive good.
