The New York Herald Newspaper, June 7, 1847, Page 2

The greatest experiment that a free and un- shackled people ever took part in, will be en- tered upon this day by our citizens, and for weal or for woe, the seventh day of June, A. D. 1847, will hereafter be looked upon as an era in the history of the State of New York, and of free government every where. There is no people under Heaven, except the free, enlightened, and educated people of the United States, that could be trusted, or, indeed, that could trust themselves, with the exercise of the tremendous power which the new constitu- tion of the State has put into the hands of the people of this State, and which will be exercised by them, for the first time, this day. On this account, we repeat, the 7th of June, 1847, will be looked upon hereafter by our posterity—by our children, and our children’s children—as an era in our history and that of free government. Hitherto the bench has been independent, in every sense of the word, of the public, receiving their appointments, as the Judges of our courts did, through the executive and legislature ; and although, as a general thing, they have reflected honor on themselves and on the power that appointed them, and elevated our judiciary to an enviable standing at home and abroad, it must be confessed that, in a few instances, we have seen men elevated to the important office of Judge whose talents, learning, abilities, and purity of character, were far short of even mediocrity, and, therefore, such as did notentitle their possessors to wear the ermine of justice. It is to be seen whether the people can, from among themselves, select and put in office men more or less compe- tent than those that were appointed under the syetem recently abrogated. ‘We must once more impress upon our citizens the importance of the trust that they are this day called upon to perform, and beseech and im- plore of them to vote according to the dictates of their consciences, for the candidates in whom they have the greatest confidence; and whom they are assured are capable by their purity, hon- esty, talent and ability, to fuithfully perform their duties, in case of their election. Above all things, we beseech them not to allow party dif- ferences, or sectarian or narrow’ views, to influence their judgment or their votes. Let them, as they value the rights of freemen, and as they desire to hand down to posterity, intact and perfect, the glo- rious privileges which they possess—privi- leges, the like of which were never enjoyed by any other people since the foundation of the world—enter upon this great experiment of electing their judges, calmly, soberly, and de- liberately. If they have not had opportunities of acquainting themselves with the qualifications of the several candidates, it is far better for them not to vote at all, than to vote blindly, and per- haps by so doing elevate to office impure and incompetent men. With the view of enabling them to arrive at a just and satisfactory conclusion in their own minds, we again present to the voters of the State, the names of allthe candidates in the field :— THE JUDICIAL NOMINATIONS.

Wisner. pas It will be seen by this'table, that every politi- cal party into which the people of this State are divided,,has selected its favorite candidates, and 18 soliciting the aid and assistance of every voter to procure their election. Discrimination must, therefore, be the watchword among our citizens. No matter what party a candidate belongs to, vote for him if you are confident he is qualified to fulfil the duties of the station he aspires to. In this city, it will be observed, we have three separate tickets—the whig ticket, the lawyer’s ticket, and the democratic ticket. Among the three separate sets of candidates, we re- cognize many able and talented men. Messrs. Bronson, Jones, Oakley, Sandford, and Ul- shoeffer, have for years past sat on the bench, and are well known to our citizens as de- serving, in an especial degree, of their con- fidence and support. Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Jewett are likewise well known to our citizens, and are in every respect well qualified to fill the judge’s chair. We presume, however, that there will be no difficulty in respect to these gen- tlemen. The office of District Attorney, in this city and county, is to be filled by the electors of this city, at the same time as the others. There are three candidates for this office: one whig, Mr. J.L. White; one democrat, Mr. John McKeon ; and one independent, Mr. N. B. Bluat. Mr. White is the regular candidate of the whig party. As such, he was nominated by the whig conven- tion unanimously. McKeon, the demo- cratic candidate, will probably be elected. In regard to the establishing of a free academy, our voters will use their own judgment and dis- cretion. We can scarcely believe that\a free academy would be an injury to this city. On the contrary, we think it would be a valuable institution. If oar citizens are true to themselves, this will be a glorious day for the State of New York. The Receipts of Produce—Sources of Supply. The receipts of produce via the Erie canal and Hudson river, have since the resumption of canal navigation, been immense, exceeding those for any former year, withoutjregard to time. The opening of the lakes and canals this year was unusually late, notwithstanding which, the supplies up to the Ist instant, were nearly double those to the same date last year. The surplus of the Western country, of last year’s crops, has hardly commenced coming for- ward yet. The annexed table, showing the re- ceipts at Buffulo and at tide water, gives us the quantity received from this State :— Recetrts or Propucr. To June 1, 1847. : Rice at Buffalo Receipts at Tide to June, 1, 1847, Water to June 1, 1847. 9, 609,935 s+ 619,089 9 16,120 12,141 Boof..... 5.666 6,255 Ashos.... 4,001 7,493 1,192.664 318,640 +. 996,728 1,072,441 A large portion of the wheat received at Buf- falo has no doubt been manufactured into flour inthis State. More than seven hundred thou- sand bushels of corn have been shipped to tide water from the interior of this State. The small receipts of corn at Buffalo, show that the West has not commenced sending forward the im- mense quantity of that grain there must be on hand. The shipments of produce from the valley of the Mississippi this year, have been nearly double those of last, as will be seen on reference to the receipts at New Orleans. The receipts at Cin- cinnati and St. Louis have bees about double those of last year, and there is every indication of the receipts continuing, throughout the sea- son, in the same ratio. The growing crops are in avery promising condition. A greater breadth of land has been cultivated this season, than ever before known in the history of the country. As an evidence of the movement in this vicinity, we will give an instance. On Long Island, within two miles of the Brooklyn ferry, there is a lot of scarcely five acres, having a fine growth of corn on it, which has heretofore been running to commons. In New Jersey, it is estimated that one hundred thousand acres of land have been put into culti- vation this season, over and abeve the quantity cultivated last year. The same spirit that has influenced the efforts of farmers in this vici- nity, has spread all through the country, and with favorable weather, we shall have enor- mous crops. Breadstuffs will be low enough in a few weeks to satisfy all classes of consumers. With the exception of those two important sta- ples of food—potatoes and buckwheat—the sea- son for sowing and planting, has passed for the year—so that whatever aspect the crops in Eu- rope may assume, or whatever may be the fact as to the supply there, no change can be made in the staples of corn, wheat, barley or oats; but in the articles of buckwheat and potatoes, the crop may yet be increased to almost any extent.— The question and the opportunity are, there- fore, before the farmers of the whole coun- try, whether they will raise such quantties of these articles of food which are of uni- versal consumption in this country, as will enable them to dispose of a corresponding ad- ditional quantity of their wheat, corn, rye, &c., and receive therefor a proportionate increase of money. The subject seems important, both to consumers | and growers, and is, indeed, in all probability, the question of plenty or scarcity of food, both in Europe and this country, for the year succeeding the next harvest in August and September. Tue srvenpip Streamer Cornenivs VANpER- nLt.—This floating palace has taken her plac the Stonington line to Boston, and makes her first trip to Stonington this afternoon, from pier No. 1, North river, under the command of Capt. Potter, a gentleman long and favorably known tothe travelling community. We had an occa- sion, afew days since, to allude to the sailing qualities of the Vanderbilt, in the contest be- tween her and the Oregon. The result of that race was exceedingly satisfactory to the builders and owners of the Vanderbilt, and it must satis- fy the public that she is, upon that point, second] to but one, and perhaps not one, boat afloat. As regards her other qualities, she is second to none; she has been built expressly for the navigation of Long Island Sound, and it is the opinion of experienced ship masters, that she will prove an excellent seaboat. One of the conditions of the contract for build- ing her was, that she should be the strongest boat for her size ever built in this port. can Marshal. A. B. Hodges. Mumford, W.8. Bishop,” M.

Vavuxnatt Ganven.—There is an excellent bill of at- tractions put forth for Vauxhall this evening. Those who have not yet had the pleasure of hearing Camp- bell’s band of Ethiopian Serenaders, should avail them- selves of the present opportunity. Every inducement that can be furnished, is provided by the proprieter of Vauxhall, and by his exertions to please, this place is ra- pial gai groundin popular favor, and ere long will the most ented place of amusement in the city.

An opportunity is now offered to pur- chase one of the best musical instruments ever manu- factured, which our wealthy citizens ought not to lose sight of. Tue Havana Itacian Orera Comrany.—It is now as- certained, for a certainty, thatthe Havana Italian Opera Company, seventy-three in number, will commence a season of twelve nights, at the Park theatre, on Wednes- day evening, 9th June instant. We can safely say, in advance, that this company will meet with a very flat- tering reception. SicNon Pa.mo.—We understand that the proceeds of next Thursday evening’s performances, at Palmo’s Opera House, will be forthe benefit of Signor Palmo, the foun- der of that establishment. No one can doubt that they will be large. Sporting Intelligence. i Trottino at THE Union Counse, L. I.—Lady *uffolk and Hector come together again to-day, for a match of $800, three mile heats, under the saddle. It will be recollected that these celebrated horses had the same match last week, in a tremendous storm, which Hector won, Lady Suffolk throwing a shoe in the first heat, which she won. The friends of Suffolk attribute to this accident the cause of her losing the match. However, to-day, at 4 o'clock, the friends of each will see which is which, See advertisement. Tue Racket Matcu at tHe Auten Street Court, —An immense concourse of persons of the highest re- spectability attended the great return match at racket, which was announced to take place at the Allen street Club Court on Saturday afternoon last, between Mr. Lamontaine, s celebrated player from Canada, and Mr. Robert Knox, the most expert snd acoomplished profes- sor of the science in the United States. The association has been in existence upwards of fifty years, and em- braces among its members many of the most wealthy and distinguished residents of New York, including some of its most prominent public men. The sum ed on the result was one thousand dollars, but many additional thousands depended upon it, in wagers staked by friends and admirers of the respective pias ers. The same gen- tlemen had met eseh other as rivals on the same ground on six previous occasions, in four of which Mr. Knox was triumphant. On this aceount, he was the favorite among the spectators at long odds, against his skilful op- ment, but the “knowing ones” were destined to a morti- Restion and disappointment they little anticipated, for the Canadian complet ly overcame his competitor, by infinite- ly superior play, and decidedly greater skill.’ The game was forty-one aces up, and, at the commencement, Knox had the advantage in scoring 8 before his opponent made 1. At this juncture, bets were freely offered on the New Yorker at 25 to 10, and 100 to 30. A change of tactics was now resorted to by Lamontaine,and he rapidly made a large score; ultimately, by the most brilliant play, and amid the enthusiastic cheers of the large aaembiage, completing the whole game, when Knox had only reac! eda score of 23 Mr. Lamontaine can now, we under- stand. be matched to play against any other man on this side ofthe Atlantic, from one to twenty thousand dol- lare,either a single game, or the best of three games, Natcmirocnss Jocxer Cius Racks.—The adjourn- ed meeting over this Course, came off at the time fixed; commencing on Monday, the 3d of May, and continuing for six days.

A letter from San Antonio of tho 13th inst., gives the information that at an election for officers on the 11th lobn C. Hays was elected Colonel; C. A. Harper, Lieut. Colonel, and Wm. H. Bowlin, Major. It is thought that Dr. Ford, editor of the Texas Democrat, will re- ceive the appointment of Adjutant. The regiment was to take up the line of march on the 14th inst., crossing the Rio Grande at Loredo, direet to Monterey. Another letter, two days later than the above, says that Hays’ iment left San Antonio on the l4th, for Mexico. ‘he day that Hays set forth on his march, Capt.

Canvany Caurcn, Fourtn Anrnur. — Yesterday morning, the Rev. Mr. Southard delivered a very im- pressive, eloquent, and appro] discourse, on the occasion of its being the first Sabbath after the conse- ful and attractive edifice. from the 3d verse—“ And the Lord said unto thy prayer and thy supplication. that made before me. I have hallowed the house which thou hast built, to put my name there for over, and mine eyes and my heart shall be there perpetunlly.”? The introduction of the discourse was epened with the reading of the preceding verses of the context of the pas- sage from which the text was selected; the preacher ob- that it contained the solemn and approving an- swer of Deity, to the sincere prayer and fervid supplica- tion of King ‘Solomon ; and which, for simplicity and ardent devotion. presented an encot ing and in- structive example to all posterity in the dedication of temples consecrated to the honor and ed to promote the worship and glory of God, and especially adapted to eve age of the church, and the multifarious infirmities and wants attach- ed to humanity. bars ma Aces age waine mary remarks upon the peculiar an inguishing circumstances associated with the thsoareer of the Jewish dispensation, the glory, the design, the holy tm- pulses, august manifestation of the divine presence and complacency attending the’ dedication of the magnifi- cent temple of Solomon, which were embodied in many striking and beautiful thoughts, uw d in forcible and metaphorical illustrations, the preacher proceeded to exhibit # general view of the sacred purposes for which the church had been erected, viz.: that it was hallowed for the express worship of God, and the observance of Christian ordinan: to the entire exclusion of all worldly uses—that it was hallowed, as being the presence-chamber of Divinity, consecrated to the tear of penitence. the prayer of faith, the supplication of want, and intercession te the ne of love, knowledge, and , for the bestowment of those spiritual gifts which, through the medium of divinely appointed ordinances, as #0 many channels from the source and fountain of all ‘blessedness, were conveyed to thechildren of the kingdom of Christ, and which constituted, hurch, “ the house of God, and the very gate of Heaven.” The manner in which places intended for the worship of God be consecrated, ‘was next adverted to and enforced ; and which must bo done according to the revealed will of Jehovah, at whose command the elements of nature, the awful artillery of of the sky and tempest, the wildness of the ocean, riot- ing for a while in uncontrolled tation, and them rocking itself to rest, were alike obedient ; whose power restrained the wrath of man, and frem whose invisible shores were rolled back waves of.di- vine pu: upon the tumults of the people; neither would the voice of angels, acrors whose heart tl 7°, of Omniscience glanced, nor the combined attempts of the nations of the earth, nor the machinations and maligni- ty of evil spirits, avail’anything against the eternal will of the Supreme Governor! of the universe—that a true consecration alone resided in the authority of his hopes, as the ambassadors of heaven and the commissioned ministers of Christ, and that no other authority in Church or State could be recoguized —an authority solely delegated tothem as theannointed representatives of the declared will of the Most High—a belief which, notwith- standing the chronicles of history, the assertions of sects, or the false doctrines of heresy and schism would remain unshaken; and although no miraculous Interpo- sition, no angelic messenger, no audible voice, no resting cloud, nor consuming fire, nor veiled glory of the Sheki- nah, attested our present consecration, yet evidence would not be wanting to the conscience of every en- lightened and pious mind, that God’s approving and di- recting presence was, in Very deed, within these sacred walls, and in the midst of this worshipping assembly; his plercing eyes beholding the state of every soul, and his paternal heart ready to rer the return of every re- tant prodigal. Reverential attention to the preach- ing of the gospel. penitential emotion and devotional aspiration of souls, the humiliation of pride and the sup- pression of vanity, would sey etly. control the minds of all such who’ appeared as faithful worshippers of the only true and living God, whose august presence they would eran realize, and whose di influences they would humbly beseech. And here the preacher exhibited a thrilling and penetrating analysis of the various phases of religious character under the opera- tion of passion, pride, impatience, hypocrisy, ‘convic- tion, conversion, prosperity and adversity. elm the application of the -subject, the preacher made an earnest and powerful appeal to the consciences of his numerous padite. making a most pertinent reference to the baptismal fount of regeneration, the sacred rite of confirmation, the comfortable communion of the Lord’s supper, in which was offered tthe heavenly food, ‘and redeeming blood of Christ; closing with a pathetic and urgent invitation to partake of the sacrament,which ‘was about to be celebrated. ‘The discourse throughout, was listened to with much attention, and apparent impression, by a large and highly respectable audience; whilst the sombre light and appropriate architecture of the interior of this ele- it and gothic structure, admirably harmonised with e solemnity and interesting character of the service, exhibiting an unquestionable improvement in taste, style and concinnity, to the kaleidoscope variety, fan- tastic and sho coloring of Grace Church, by the samearohitect. The Rectorannounced that the church would be regularly opened for morning and evening prayer, exeepting on festival days, when due notice would be given. Sun Staoxe.—A man named Brent was yesterday conveyed to the City Hospital in a very debilitated state of health, in consequence of having received a sun- stroke onthe previous day, when the weather was so ex- tremely warm. This being the first accident of the kind for the season, all our citizens should be on the “look out,” and guard against this fearful casualty.

Haskins vs, Patterson and Ballentyne.—A deposit of property with creditor as vecurity for debt, is a pledge, and not a mortgage, and does not pass the title of the property to the creditor, but on default, he may sell it, on giving notice to the debtor. The notice thus required is not a notice of the time and place of sale, but of the intention of the creditor to en- force his lien, if the debtor fails to redeem, ‘An express agreement that the creditor may sell on de- fault of payments is a waiver of the notice. In trover against the creditor for improperly selling the pawn, he may recover his debt, provided he has pleaded or given notice of his defence.

The stock market, during the past week, has been moderately active, and prices have, in several instances, advanced several per cent from those current last week. Railroad stocks appear to be the favorites for specula- tion and for investment, and the changes recently made in the management and in the improvement in‘the traf- fic, hive hada very favorable influence upon the actual and market value of shares. Tho complete change mado in the direction of the Harlem Railroad, a few weeks since, has given holders more confidence in the ultimate value of the stock and improved the prospects of the company very materially. It is due to the stockholders of this road, that the new board of directors investigate the affairs of the company, and publish a fair and correct statement of its actual condition at the time their administration commenced that the resuit of their efforts, to improve them may be seen and duly appreciated. The Stonington Railroad Company intend declaring a dividend in a few weeks, There is a surplus of $40,000 on hand already, for that purpose. and a dividend would * have been paid on the Ist of June inst., but there was a small floating debt which the company wished to pay ; also to pay for completing the connecting link with the Providence road, before commencing dividends, 50 as to have everything clear,and no danger of any default# hereafter. The debt of this company has been reduced to four hundred thousand dollars, which does not mature for several years, which can be provided for by asinking fund, long before maturity. The splendid new steamboat * Cornelius Vanderbilt takes her place in this line to- morrow, Monday afternoon, and runs in connection with the Oregon, forming s line unequalled on any route in this country. These beats must command the bulk of interior travel, and the income of the Stonington Rail- road must be very largely increased. If the receipts this season, thus far, have given the company a surplus of $40,000 over and above the extraordinary expenditures for extensions, &c., that surplus must be very rapidly increased, with the steamboat line, improved as it will be by the addition of the Cornelius Vanderbilt to the route. In opposition to the Stonington Railroad, for the through travel between this city and Boston, stands the Norwich and Worcester. While the income of the for- mer is rapidly increasing, the income ot the latter is falling off from one hundred to one hundred and fifty dollars a day. The Stonington has a debt of only four hundred thousand, and an increasing business, while the Norwich and Worcester has a ( ebt of fourteen hun- dred thousand dollars, and a decreasing business. The stock of the former in daily increasing in value, with the certainty of a dividend, while the stock of the latter is daily decreasing in value, without the most remote pro- bability of even the smallest dividend. This is the rela- tive position of these two rdads, and we see no possi- bility of preventing a rapid decay of the Norwich and Worcester, as a through route to Boston. Its local tra- vel is monopolized, and upon that it must depend for its neome. The Reading Railroad Company, like every other bur- dened with an enormous debt. is corspelled to submit to enormous and ruinous sacrifices to sustain its credit. It is an immense concern, and its business and receipts are subject to so many contingencies, that it is with tho greatest difficulty the murket value of its bonds and shares is ved. The monthly receipts are large, larger than thore of any other railrond in the country; but it must be borne in mind that the expenditures are in proportion, at least, throvghout the year, and are considered by many greater in proportion to the receipts then on any other railroad. In relation to the injunc- tion reerntly applied for, wo learn that the company, in- stead of mveting tbe charges made. at ouce, 80 as to set- tle the point, intend putting in a demurrer, for the pur- pose of compriling the parties to file a supplementary bill, The company have deen ill advised in this business and it will love w dit by pursuing such @ course than it wil hereafter gain, in the event of the charges made proviog false, What object the company may have in view fy storing off the investigations; the bill filed tor an iaje must ultimately bring about, we do not koow wed) Kaow, that in arriving at it, it will gain (he ehadow ndlose the substance.
