NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Wednesday, June 16, 1847. ‘War with Mexteo—The Mission of the United States of the North. We think that the following view of the Mexi- can war is one that our readers will generally admit to be the correct one :— History hardly presents a parallel to the apa- thy of the Mexican nation amid the invasion of their territory, the defeats of their armies, and the menaced fall of their capital. While the vic- tors of the Cerro Gordo are preparing for their last grand march upon the heart and centre of the nation, its Congress sits there debating con- tutional questions, and whether it shall re- move toQueretaro—and with the exception of some individual efforts, hardly responded to, quietly awaits its disgrace. Meanwhile, we see our army, a mere handful of men, marching con- fidently to the attack of cities whose very beg- gars are more numerous than they. No longer hoping for success from their arms, they trust to mere vis inertia to deliver them finally from their invaders. They utter no cry, strike no blow, and die without dignity. Their fall and destruc- tion as a nation would be without greatness, and equally unaccompanied by the sympathy or re- spect of the world. An enquiry into the causes of this condition of the Mexican people might be curious and profita- ble, but would demand more space than we can now devote to this subject. This war has suffi- ciently revealed to the world that the singularly mixed reee inhabiting the Mexican territory have not, and perhaps never have had, any exist- ence asi nation, except a mere titular one. It is true that it has declared itself such, and has been so recognized by other powers; but when it is considered that its whole history, and particu- larly of late years, has been a mere whirl of re- volutions, of intestine wars and commotions, and the strife of rival chieftains, without having learned one lesson of wisdom, or gained one ele- ment of progress; and that, invaded in all quar- ters, town after town captured, and the enemy thundering at the very gates of their capital, it ean find no rallying cry for its hundreds of thou- sands of citizens—no charm in the name of home and fatherland to evoke an universal and enthu- siastic defence. There can be but one conclu- sion drawn, and that is, that the so-called Mexi- can nation does not exist. Where then are we to look for the regeneration of this people? Certain- ly not within itself. If so, long ere this, amid the bitter teachings of revolution, disunion, and civil wars, would have arisen the Cromwell or Napo- leon to have guided its destinies, and even given the man; it might be easily shown that the career were impossible, inasmuch as nowhere does there exist throughout the State, or rather, agglomera- tion of States, a body of people possessing the union of feeling and moral force requisite to overcome and reduce to an equilibrium the other jarring, distinct, and ever conflicting forces.— The fanatical soldiery of Cromwell were inspired with a faith, and controlled by ideas which, to whatever excesses they led them, were grand in their obstinate purpose and intense zeal; so the armies of republican France went forth irresist- ible with their new gospel of the rights of man; but the people of Mexico are beneath that level of cultivation and intelligence which could ena- ble them to be the recipients and champions of any abstract ideas. Whence then is to come the new impulse, the regenerating ideas which areto infuse the new blood of progress and improvement into this people ? Whence the friendly arm to drive from the political sky of Mexico those flocks of vul- tures who have so long feasted on the enfeebled body of the State, to raise it up, heal its wounds, and bid it speed on its march to order, security, and general happiness ? History shows us, that in almost every case where a nation has advanced to a new and higher civilization, from a previous state of semi-cultivation and demoralization, that the transition has been preceded by conquest, and that conquest coming invariably from the North. The Tartars overrun China; the Brahmins or Khetrys, Hindostan; the Asae or Goths, Sweden, and the Turks the degenerate Eastern émpire; in each case infusing into the worn-out race the elements of anew progress, But the v6le which then belonged to barbarians, has now fallen to the share of the civilization and valor of the North. The conquest which could then only owe its completion to the cruelties and oppressions of centuries, may now be perfected by the mere presence of nobler, and more bene- ficent institutions, and popular government. Andthat mission, which the United States of the North has so repeatedly declined in her fre- quent and fruitless efforts to make peace with her antagonist, may yet be fulfilled, when, in the ancient capital of the Aztecs, she scatters to the winds the political and military incendiaries, and the cut-throat armies of Mexico, and pro- elaims to the people peace, brotherhood, and rational progress. Let her then accept the mission, which the obstinacy of the Mexican Congress will not any longer allow her to shuffle off; and in no spirit of gain and covetousnese, but under the inspira- tion of principles of an exalted humanity, pro- geed at once, in force, toend this war. Any go- vernment which may arise out of our conquest, will not long need the presence of an American army in the city of Mexico, to guaranty its ex- istence, but will rest, in due time, peacefully, on the free suffrage of the liberated and enlightened Mexicans. News rrom Evrore.—The steamship Cam- bria is now inher twelfth day, and may be hour- ly expected. She is hardly due until she has been over twelve days at sea. Unless the French steam- ship C. Colomb should arrive in the meantime, the Cambria will bring sixteen days later intel- ligence from all parts of Europe, which all classes are anxiously looking for. Commercial intelligence of much importance is expected by the next arrival, as it was a very critical time throughout Europe relative to the growing crop, when the Hibernia left. The sea- son has become so far advanced that we shall be able to judge, by the next accounts received, pretty nearly what will be the result of the next harvest. Prices for breadstuffs in this country depend very much, we might say entirely, upon the prospective demand from the other side.— Our erops are likely to be so large that an abun- dance in Europe would create a plethora here, and put prices down to a much lower level than we have before realized for a Jong time. We do not look for any thing favorable about cotton by the next arrival. So long as food con- tinues high, quotations for cotton cannot advance; and as there is very little probability of bread- stuffs being lower before harvest, there is a poor chance for cotton. a Navat.—The cutter Ewing, which arrived yesterday from the Gulf of Mexico, has return- ed from a cruise of thirteen months.

She Annival or THE Sournenner.—This fine steam- er arrived early this morning from Charleston eight or ten hours ahead of the mail. We have received by her full files of Southern papers, Aggivat rrom Txxas.—The steamship Yacht, Capt. J. R. Crane, arrived at New Orleans on the 7th inst. from Galveston, Texas, She brought no news of importance. Iurortat Movement—Tue Mlaanon ap Ri- ven Convention at Cuicaco.—It must not be ‘forgotten by our citizens that they are called upon to assemble this afternoon ut the Exchange, in Wall street, at a quarter beforethree o'clock, for the purpose of selecting delegates to represent this city in the Chicago Convention, which will convene in Chicago on the 5th of July next. The measures that will occupy the time and attention of the River and Harbor Convention are of the most important nature in a local as well asa national point of view. Ina national point of view, because the increasing commerce and growth of the Western part of our country bene- fit the whole country, and locally the city of New York and Albany, and every other town between this and Chicago, are benefitted by that commerce. It cannot be disguised that from various causes, of which this is not the time to speak, because they involve questions of political principle, and the Convention will be composed of men of all parties, that the West has been sadly overlooked in respect to receiving the care which the feder- al government ought to exercise over it. Year after year, lives and shipping to a vast amount have been lost, for the want of proper and safe harbors, and the Western people think that the time has come when they are entitled to share in this repect the advantages which the Atlantic States enjoy. They want liberal appropriations for harbor, lake and river improvements—for lighthouses and for beacons, without regard to political abstractions, in order that their vast commerce may be conducted in a safe manner. They want the disadvantages which they now labor under removed; and they wish the people of the rest af the United States to know and un- derstand what these disadvantages are, for they think that the public at large are not acquainted with them, or the appropriations which they have labored so hard for in successive sessions of Congress, would have been granted at first. But it is not a matter that concerns the West alone. We in this city are identified with the West. Boston, Philadelphia, New Orleans—in fact, all of our Atlantic cities are identified with the West in this measure, and any interest or profit which that part of our country reaps from river and harbor improvements, will be partici- pated in by every Atlantic seaport. In this light it isjustly viewed by our mercan- tile community, and they have taken prelimina- ry measures to have this city properly represent- ed inthe convention. The meeting is called this afternoon at the Exchange, and we hope that politics will have no influence in the selection of delegates, QvarrELs amone Tue Poxiticians.—The fa- mily quarrel among the democrats, old hunkers, and barnburners in Albany, is still going on, and where it will end, no person can tell. Itis feared that more personal violence will be re- sorted toby the combatants, unless more tempe- rate language be used by them in their discus- sions. It is a contemptible squabble, and equalled only by the fight going on among the whig edi- tors in this city, Albany, and Buffalo. The whigs have not yet come to fisticuffs, their blood not being so warm as that of the democrats, who have for years eaten canvass back ducks, and drank the best wines, at the expense of the State. Tevecraruic Mai ror tue SteaMsnir He BERNIA.—We would inform all persons who were disappointed in sending their foreign letters yes- terday, that they can send communications ad- dressed to their correspondents in the old world, as brief or as long as they please, by means of the telegraph to Boston, where they will be written out and mailed according to the direction. We understand that the operators of the line were busily employed for two hours, or more, last evening, in this kind of business. It isa capital and certain way of sending letters by the mail steamer. Wonvervut Resutts or THE TELEGRarH.--- On reference to the commercial reports in this day’s paper, it will be seen that by the assis- tance of the telegraph, we have been enabled to publish market reports from five different cities in the Union, making a circuit of one thousand miles. Four of these reports are of yesterday’s markets in four different cities, and the fifth isa report of the New Orleans market, one day in advance of the mail. Tuer U. S. sure Macgpontan, loaded with breadstuffs, for the relief of the distressed people of Ireland, dropped down to quarantine yester- day, and will sail for Cork as soon as her full complement of men is obtained. Sesion Theatricals. Bowrny Tueatre.—Miss C. Wemyss, one of the most popular actresses that ever appeared at the Bowery, has learned not only to creep, but to walk in her profes. sion, and that, too, rapidly .To-night she ventures onthe character of Bianoa, in the tragedy of “Fazio, or the Ital- ian Wife,” for the first time, and we have no hesitation in predicting that her success will be as flattering as she can with. The tragedy of “ Fazio,” the comedy of * My Aunt,” and the opera of the * Bohemian Girl,” comprise the bill for this evening. Varnuccni’s Great Cosmonama.—Sinoe M. Van- nucchi has opened the place, known as No. 315 Broad- way, opposite Gothic Hall, and placed there for exhibi- tion his extensive cosmorama, and his great collection of paintings, that place should be visited by every ad- mirer of the fine arts in the country. An hour or two can be profitably and interestingly spent there, and the smull amount charged for admission will be one of the best investments they ever made. Anderson {s at St. Louis, where he receives the most flattering receptions. Collins is at the Walnut street theatre, Philadelphia. Murdoch is at Cincinnat!. The Ravels are on a travelling tour through the State of Ohio. M'lle. Augusta was dancing at Cincinnati on the 9th instant.

Before going farther, we havo to soften our criticism a little of the first performance of “Saffo.”” Many parts which we thought weak on Monday night, appeared to us a great deal better last night, and what- ever we have discovered as stolen from Donizetti, Ros- Tr, we excuse, because of the be in which the theft is arranged. The duo of Saffo, which we have already praised, sung by Signora Tedes- coand Marini, “Di quai soave lagrime,” was encored and executed each time, with a rio, and a precision of execution that was very remarkable. The grand aria of Tedesco, when she émprovises her poetry acoompanying herself on the lute, drew forth a burst of applause ; it was Leet hop with so much inspiration as to revive in our view, with a change of sex, the admirable picture of the well-known painter Leopold Robert, “el improvisatore ;" the poetical expression was the same. It is useless to add that bouquets and wreathes were awarded to Te co. To-n! |g there is no performance at the Par! theatre; but to-morrow night the great festival takes place, when ‘“Hernani,” of Verdi, 5 ‘Tedesco, Porelli and Vita, will be produced, ‘Thi bein birth night ‘of Dona Manuele Bargi 1c O'Donnell, wife of the captain-general of Cuba, the theatre will be ornamented with Spanish and American flags; and it will be brilliantly illuminated in th ni To the efforts of this lady, are ascribed the tablishment of the Italion opera company in Hat Several distinguished gentlemen, among whom are the officers belonging to the Spanish navy, now in New York. the Spanish consul and others, are’ to partake of refreshments after the opera is concluded. Apropos, to the Park. It is stated in one or two papers, that the editor of a French journal was refused admittance to the opera, because he had spoken harshly of the perfor- mance. This must be s mistake; Sig. Villarino, the manager of the company, is too much of agentleman to refuse any editor admittance, for merely writing a criti- ie opera that has been, or may be pi cod at ‘Vavxmaxt.—Campbell’s celebrated Ethiopean band of Serenaders are drawing good houses at this neat rural retreat, Their representation of negro character is much admired, and their songs and choruses are fro- quently encored, Campbell is very likely to succeed well, as his company is good, and the garden is becom- ing a favorite resort.

City Intelligence. Tue Weatner.—The thermometer stood at 68 de- grees yesterday, in Wall stre lo'clock. The day was cold, if not winterish, ani @ was lighted up ii several of the hotels.

New York Huzzans.—This fine body of citizen troops made a beautiful appearance yesterday, having been summoned for parade. The uniform is superb, and we were glad to see several of the corps well mounted, mov- ing in all directions through our strects and thorough- fares yesterday. Emicrants.—Several efforts have intterly been made to effect a fraudulent landing of emigrants in various parts of the city. Fourteen emigrants were landed yes- terday morning, contrary to law, from some of the at the Quarentine ground. T' fter. Is rt Possiate ?—We are informed by a gentleman who says he was a witness tothe fact, that about eight o'clock on Sunday evening last, he observed three small girls crying most piteously at the Christopher street fer. ry gate on the Hoboken sido, and that on enquiring the cause of their trouble, they told him that the ferry mas- ter would not allow them 2 into the bot unless they ere him six pence each. ‘The ferry master on the New ‘ork aide eharged them only threo cents to go over, and told them that was all they would be ch: for coming back. We give the rest of the story in the gentleman’s words. “I thought it rather hard; so | bogged of the ferry,master to let. them pass home to New York, as they ee a re} reg love they should sooner an give them passage for that— fo bad to ° fay t pay the oxtra charge out of m: ke when they were allowed to pens.” ve ret Many For.—It appears that this young girl has not yot been found. rat} to be hoped th: the police offi- cers of the several cities will keep on the watch for her, and also for Michael or Martin Hare.

Mr. Fleischman classified the qualities of wool in a frame marked with the peculiar features of each, and indexed with precision, from numbers one to six. exhibited samples of most celebrated of Prussian Silesian, where the finest merino wool is grown: from 7 to 10, specimens of the finest Hungarian wool and from 10 to 18. various other specimens, including those of the flocks of Mr. Thaer, of Berlin, aud the electoral wool of Saxony, from the offspring of common sheep crossed with mixed bucks. In the remarks offered ty Mr. Fleischman, he alluded to the proper wool to be raised in this country, -— recommended the merino and Leicester orop, which, by proper management, pro- duces a staple of two inches. He also furnished man: facts relative to the systematic, and it may bo added, scientific education, indispensable for the German shepherds. Their system of education issolely agricul- tural, or at least making agriculture the grand basis— forming the mind, body and habits, to one grand object of practical utility, and discarding those abstract sclences, that are not compatible with the utilitarian objects of human: dizement. In fact, the remnarks of this gentleman, who evidently has made the bet pos- sible use of his travels. and which were expressed with a fervency and zeal for the general benefit of mankind— showed that his whole sympathies were ungaged in» study which he himself learned and practised in the colleges of Germany; and the benetits of which he war persuaded, could be curried out here, in the contempla- ted establishment of an ugricultural school, or college He enforced the combination of practical education with permanent profit, und illustrated his remarks with @ truthfulness of certain theories, which gave indisputable evidence that not only his education which was commenced in the agricultural echool of Ger- many, was perfect, but his desire toimpart it, generou: and philanthropic. If any circumstance beyond ‘another could tend to stimulate the present. desirable object of the New York Farmer’s Club, to persevere in their ob- ject to establish an agricultural school or college in the vieinity of the city, it would result from the practical ex- perience of the utility of such a measure, ag exemplified upén theoccasion by Mr. Fleischman, and it is to be re- corded the promptness with which he acceded to the motion of the chair, to assist the committee appointed for the purpore of selecting one of the locations offered for this purpose, We pass over the other business of the day, as insignificant compared with what we have re- corded—all are trifles in ro to the one grand object, the maintenance of human nature upon the broad ‘principles of scientific research and practical ecouomy. These points can only be encouraged by an adoption of a scheme that combines both, in fostering snd encouraaing an agricultural college. and if the legis- lature hesitate, let the acknewledged zeal of theoommu- nity overeome the difficulty, by the liberality of their exertions. - Police Intelligence.

Ferdinand Gardiner, Eeq., for many years the able and efficient U. 8. consul, died at Port Prays, May 6, of the country fever, His last request, to be interred in the American burying ground, was refused, his family being Roman Catholics—consequently he was buried in the Cotholiccemetery. Commodore Read found it neces. sary to appoint an agent in his place. and selected « very capable Portuguese, formerly the British and now the French agent, named William Peixoto, to act until the Government appointment is made. As the place is dau gerous for an unacclimatdd American or European, « hope is expressed that Senor Peixoto may be permanevt- ly appointed. ‘There was a voleanic eruption about the Ist of April on the Island of Fogo, (of the Cape de Verd group) which continued ten or fifteen days. throwing out show- ers of earth and stones to great height, and emitting huge streams of lava, which, running down the moun- tain, destroyed many houses and plantatious and caused some loss of life. All vegetation, and many goats and cattle, were destroyed by the heat of the earth, the showers of stones and the lava. The shock was dis tinotly felt on the neighboring island. and caused much alarm at Port Praya, where the vibrations were very vio- lent and almost unce ising for seven or eight days.

The testimony of Morton cer- ‘inly shows that the affairs of the bank, when he came into office, were in s most curiously complicated and the books might have been kept by the clerk o: tower, if said tower had a clerk, and that not much was done afterward to bring order out of confusion.

The stock market full off a fraction to-day, both in prices and in transactions, At the first board Harlem, declined %, Long Island 44, Norwich and Worcester %4, Mlinois {, Morris Canal 34, Farmers’ Loan 4, Canton &, Pennsylvania fives 1. Indians, Illinois, Treasury Notes and Vicksburg, closed at yesterday’s prices, Reading railroad advanced 1 per cent, and Reading bonds };. The advance of the past two days has been so large that a slight reaction might have been expected. We sce nothing likely to make any reaction permanent, so long as the money market continues as abundantly supplied with capital as it now is, Any quantity of money can be obtained at four and four-and-a-half per cent, and the banks are discounting all the good paper offering. At the second board there was a slight improvement» and the market closed firm at the improvement. We have received several communications relative to the Illinois State Bank, and in reply to them will merely say, that all we have heretofore said upon this subject we still adhere to, believing that the institution will ultimately be able, under any clroumstances, to pay fifty per cent upon its capital, and, under favorable circumstances, seventy and eighty per cent. Tholaw passed in the legislature of Illinois last winter relative to winding up the affairs of the bank, is considered rather best capable of judging in the event of the institution passing into the hands of trustees or commissioners, the Governor will take very good care that the interests of all parties are properly protected. It would be well, therefore, for holders of the stook to keep it out of the market, unleas they are satis fed with present prices, A slip from Thompson's Bunk Note Reporter gives the following account of the probable“suspension of the Bank of Watertown:— The Albany banks reject the notes of this bank, and we are informed that the Comptroller has sent a spe- cial commissioner to Watertown to investigate its con- dition. We believe an injunotion will be granted to close its doors. In case of its failure, the bill holders will have to look to the securities in the Comptroller's hands, instead of anything thatmay be inthe bank. Such has invariably been our experience. The circulation and securities were, on the lst of Jan.,. as follows:— Bonds and Mortgages, $27,439; probable value, 20.000 Arkansas stocks, 389,000; prooable value, €,000 iUtnois stocks, 1.000; probable value, 400 Probable yalue of assets, $23,400 Circulation, 49,400 Defioleney of seouritios, $21,000 At this rate the markvt value of the notes of the bank will be about 60 cents on the dollar. This is one of the old free banks which went into ope- ration before the law was amended. prohibiting the de- posit of foreign stocks us security for cireulating notes. According to tue report for May last, the loans and discounts of this bank at that time amounted to $49,856; specie, $1,984; circulation, $49,214; deposits, 9,629. ‘The receipts ef produce at St. Louis, for the month of May, by the river, were as follows, vis :—ilour, 45,000 bbls; wheat, 498,969 bushels; eorn, 176.926 do.; oats, 37,407 do ; hemp, 20,234 bdls,; lead, 172,743 pigs; tobae- 09, 723 hhds, bbis,; potatoos, 8,263 e°c-s; whiskey, 2,492 bbls.; dried apples, 1,195 bbls, 1,837 casks; white beans 506 bbls., 177 sacks; pork, 2,541 LLle., 155,000 Ibs. bulk; beef, 117 bbis.; bacon, 4,370 cask-. 29, boxes, 42,000 Ibs, bulk; lard, 5,596 bbls, 742 kegs; cleere. 991 boxes; tallow, 26 casks, 89 bbls.; butter, 102 bbis, 164 k ga, 47 firkins. The New Oricans money market of the 4th inst., was still suffering from the pressure produced by the finam- cial operations of the government, and businsss transac- tions in that city were very much embarrassed. The banks have neither diseounted or taken exchange, and were unable to check, in consequence of the very large balances which they hold in the northern and eastern cities, We have not yet seen the statement of the banks for the last menth, but understand that they have dimin- ished their specie nearly two millions, which necessarily renders a very severe contraction indispensable. The law of Louisiana with regard to the proportion to be main- twined between the coin and the circulation and depo- sits is imperative. The pressure, we trust, is only tem- porary, and will be shortly relieved by importations of specie, a considerable quantity of which is now under way from the North, ‘Thu banks, however, will continue to move cautiously, #0 long as by the issue of Govern- ment checks they are exposed to be called upon, at any moment, for a million or two of coin. ‘The Erie railroad company are about issuing propos. als for # loan of $750,000 atseven per cent. under tho act of the Legislature allowing it to makes loan of thr millions of dollars, The finances of New Hampshire appear tobe in a very favorable condition.
