NEW YORK HERALD. = ————————————— New York, Tuesaday, June 42, 1847. ————— ——— ‘The President's Visit to New York. - Several contradictory statements concerning the contemplated visit of President Polk to this and other northern cities, hav appeared in the public prints, and which, if uncontradicted, would mislead the people and the public authori- ties. We now learn from a private letter from the Capital, that the following is acomplete and perfect programme of Mr. Polk’s movements, which may be relied upon. The President will leave Washington in the cars this morning, and spend to-day in Baltimore. He willleave the latter place to-morrow morning for Philadelphia, where he will remain Thursday, and on Friday morning he will leave that city for New York, where he will spend the whole of Saturday and Sunday. On Monday morning he will leave this city, and pass through New Haven and Hartford, Springfield, &c., &e, will reach Boston on ‘Tuesday next, where he will remain until Wednesday, and then proceed to Lowell, &c., &c. This information may be relied upon. It comes from the best authority. Notes from Abroad by Mrs. J. 0. B. Mopxna, 15th April, 1847. My Dear B-—. Iwas at Bologna all day yesterday, and be- sides what is usually shown to strangers, 1 had a very fine serenade. It is a very singular city. You can walk almost all through it without ever, I may say, getting your shoes wet on the wettest day. All the sidewalks are covered with piazzas, which must make it very delightful in summer, or in rainy weather; but which gives the town a rather gloomy and singu- lar appearance. Iwent to see the Campo Santo, or Cemetery, and looked in vain for that man with the cocked hat, who, Dickens says, in his [book of travels, pierced. These are all shown to the people at stated times, when they mourn and grieve over them. Byt do not let us laugh at this, or ridi- cule it. Who is it who does not reverence a relic of those we love? and it is not astonishing that Christians, or those who love the Lord sincerely, should revere the cross on which they believe our Saviour was crucified, and the lance which pierced his side. As the eloquent Bishop of Pella said: Marius mourned over the ruins of Carthage; but his was the sorrow of disappointed, selfish ambition. Jeremiah la- mented the fall and desolation of Jerusalem, and his plaintive accents were inspired by ge- nuine patriotism and religion. Jesus, in the gar- den of Gethsemane, and on Mount Calvary, mourned not for a single city or nation: he sor- rowed over the ruins of the world---not as fut and sleepy old Noah did, when, secure from dan- ger, and surrounded with all ‘the fat of the land, pork and every thing else, he looked down upon the waters which overspread the earth. The Catholics say they do not worship the saints or figures of the Virgin, as many believe they do; they only reverencesthem, and look on them to refresh their memories. On Wednes- days, Thursdays, and Fridays there you will find princes and princesses, washing the dirty feet of pilgrims, and kissing them, and waiting on them to their beds. They do that in imitation of our Saviour, who washed the feet of his disciples, and wiped them with the towel with which he was girded. You certainly might imagine, to see them, that you were in the time of former ages--- such simplicity, and lowliness, and charity. Now I do beg of you, if you think this too long or too tedious, to tear it up before you get through. I merely show that I want to oblige you in every way that is i my power, even to torment you by reading this long letter, which, really, I am tired of, it being the second time I have had to tell you the same story. I hope you have received my account: of the scala santa, which I sent you by post. James enjoyed that very much. He went up and down three times to the other’s,once. “would"not be allowed the position of verger in Westminster Abbey”—and he gives a curious reason forgit. Here is his reason: He says “ It seemed to be his duty to describe the monuments to the people—at all events he was doing so, and when I compared him, like Gulliver to Brobdig- nag, with the institutions of my own beloved country, I could not refrain from tears of pride and exultation. He had no pace at all, no more than a tortoise. He loitered as the people loi- tered, that they might gratify their curiosity ; and positively allowed them, now and then, to read the inscriptions on the tombs. He was neither shabby, nor insolent, nor churlish, nor ignorant. He spoke his own language with per- fect propriety, and seemed to consider himself, in his way, a kind of teacher of the people, and to entertain a just respect both for himself and them.” Then he says—‘t They would no more have such a man for a verger in Westminster Abbey, than they would let the people in (as they do at Bologna) to see the monuments for nothing.” Now, may I ask Mr. Dickens which of the two institutions isthe best? Is not this one— which lets all in, those who can pay and those who can not? You ought, Mr. Dickens, to shed tears of sorrow. The thing speaks for itself. The only reason given is, the man had no pace at all—and he had actually allowed the common people to read the tombs. I shall not waste time in speaking about Mode- na, for really there is nothing very inter- esting to be seen in it. Jtis like most Italian Warerine Piaces—Excursions, &c., &¢.— We perceive that many of our wealthy citizens are preparing to spend the summer at the sea shore, and at the different watering places in the interior—while a great many more would start if they only knew where to go. With the view of assisting this latter class in making their selections, we invite them to read carefully the list of summer resorts, published in the advertising columns of the Herald of to- day. They must indeed be hard to please if they cannot select from among them one agrecable place, to which they can go for afew months, and invigorate their constitutions. They will see every variety advertised; some where sea bathing and sea fishing can be enjoyed to perfection, and some where they can imbibe the most whole- some medicinal waters to their hearts’ content. Such of our citizens as have the inclination and the means to take themselves and families to a watering place, for a month or two in the sum- mer, and do not do so from economical motives, are guilty of great injustice, and deserve to be poor as long asthey live. It is essential for our brick and mortar bound inhabitants of Gotham, to havea few weeks or months relaxation in the country during the summer, if they wish to pre- serve their health for the rest of the year. For ourselves we would rather expend two or three hundreds in taking enjoyment and relaxation in the country, than in paying it for doses of calo- mel and ipecac in the city. towns—narrow streets and high houses, and hard pavements, which, you know, I detest. You say you have not received my package of letters, Well, really, I am very sorry; though you have not suffered a great loss, for they were written in a great hurry, as always write hastily. 1 don’t believe I ever, in my life, had time to write a neat or precise letter—and perhaps never will. I shall now collect my ideas, and give you a short account of Good Friday in Rome, as I was an eye witness of the ceremonies, and watched everything very closely. Now, as you are aware, the principal object of this day is to bring to remembrance Jesus Christ crucified before their eyes; and you know it is not alone in Rome where the ceremonies of the Holy Week take place, but also in Jerusalem, and with much greater splendor than in Rome. I went then, at nine o’clock in the morning, to the Sistine Chapel, and waited for some time. Everything denoted the desolation of the church for her Spouse—the yellowness of the candles and torches—the Pope’s throne stripped of its ornaments — the cardinals in their purple, or mourning costume, and divested of their rings, as were also the bishops. All was nakedness and desolations The soldiers’ arms were all re- versed, and all the ministers clothed in black. There were no lights; for,when the Son of God was hanging on the cross, the Bible tells us there was darkness over the whole earth. The Pope was dressed in a red cape, and was with- out his ring. Upon entering, he approached the tar, which was covered with a linen cloth, and offered up prayers for a short period, at the con- clusion of which, he retired to his seat. A pac- sage from the prophecy of Osee was then sung by one of the choir, and the precept from Exo- dus by the sub-deacon. After this, a conventual friar preached a sermon, and then published the indulgence, or remission of temporal punish- ment for thirty years, granted by the Pope to those who have confessed and repented their sins. Prayers were then offered'up forthe Pope, the clergy, and the holy people ot God. ‘When these prayers were finished, the officiat- ing cardinal took off his chasable and walked to the altar, where he received the crucifix from some one (the deacon, I believe). The crucifix was then covered with a long black veil, and turned to the people, when the cardinal re- moved part of the covering, and sang, “‘ Behold the hand of the cross, on which hung the salva- tion of the world! Then the Pope and all knelt near the altar, excepting the cardinal who held the crucifix, and who, showing the right arm of the holy symbol, repeated the same words, only in a much higher tone; and then, in a still more elevated voice, cried out, ‘Behold the entire !” at the same instant uncovering? the entire crucifix. He then placed it on a splendid embroidered cushion, on the steps of the altar. The Pope’s shoes were then taken off by one of his adjutanti di camera, and he made three pro- found bows before the crucifix, gradually ap- proaching nearer and nearer to it, and then kissed it. He afterwards emptied a purse, con- taining one hundred dollars, in gold, into a sil- ver basin, near the crucifix. Then all assisting had their shoes taken off, and kissed in the same manner, and each gave an offering of one dollar in gold. After all this ceremony, the candles were lighted, and they formed a procession and proceeded to the Pauline Chapel, which was beantifully illuminated—(I counted six hundred, and it is but a small chapel)—where the Pope knelt, and incensed the blessed sacrament three times, and then covered it with his veil, after which the procession returned to the Sistine Chapel. The Pope then gave the sacrament to a “mere celebrating, and returned to his throne. After this, the relies w among which was a part of the voy adeaal which our Saviour was crucified, It seems that the very identical cross was found by Helen, the ' mother of Constantine, a very religious woman who had made many searches for it. She di- vided it into three parts One she sent to Con- atantine, another she left in Jerusalem, and the | third she reserved for herself. She also found “Away, away to the mountain brow,” or to the sea shore, should be the motto of every man who has the means to do so, at this time of the year. By the way, we must endeavor to collect the sayings and doings at the~ watering places this summer, and dish them up in the Herald for our readers- While the fashionables are drinking the waters or bathing in the surf, we shall be among them “ takin notes,” which we shall “prent” without fail. Peruvian INpEmNity.—Official announcement was published by the Attorney General of the United States in the Union of Saturday last, no- tifying persons having claims against the gov- ernment of Peru, to present their claims forth- with to him, in order that they may be decided upon before the 8th of August next, the time li- mited for the adjudication of them. The manner in which these claims shall be presented, will be gathered from the following extract from the Attorney General’s notifica- tion:— Ordered, Ist. That each claimant shall d memorial for and in behalf of whom the pha iflsl is red, and whether the amount thereof, and of any part thereof, i allowed: does now, and at the time when the said claim arose, did belong solely and absolutely to the claimant, or to any other person; and, if to any other, to what person. And in cases of preferred for the benefit of any other than the claimant, the memorial to be filed shall further set forth and show when and by what means and for what consideration such other has become entitled to the amount, or any part of the amount, of said claim. 2d. That the memorial shall also set forth and declare whether the claimant, as well as any other person tor whose benefit the claim is preferred, is now, and at the time when the said claim arese was, a citizen of the Uni- ted States, where he is now, and at the time the said claim arose was domiciliated, and, if any, what change of domicil has since taken place. 8d. That the memorial shall alno set forth whether the claimant, or any other person who may have been at any time entitled the amount claimed, or any part. thereof, hath ever received any. and if any, what sum of money, or other equivalent or indemnification, by wa of insurance or otherwise, for loss or injury sustained, satisfaction for which is therein asked; and if any such payment or indemnification has been made, to set forth when and from whom the sathe was received. 4th, That the cases will be taken up for decision in the order in which they may be filed and docketed. It appears that several claims have been pre- sented, but not filed; among which are: Brig Thetis, of Boston, Heary Parsons, master. Brig Elizabeth Ann, of Philadelphia, Oliver Brooks, master. : Beriah Fitch, master of the ship Flying Fish, of Bos- on. Eliphalet Smith, for any interest he may have in the echooner ‘asp, of joston, and inthe cargo eatephen Renton for any { silt en B. Howe, for any interest h i cargo of the ship Esther, of Boston, pares oy Edward L. Scott, for any interest he may have in the jot Hawn, fer ny tecareat by h john Huan, for any int 6 ma: of the Robinson Crusoe. nner ee It would be advisable for the press generally to direct the attention of the public to this sub- ject, as delay in presenting claims will be fatal, and will result in loss to such of our citizens as may not present them within the time specified by the Attorney General. Navat.—The line of battle ship Ohio, Captain Stringham, will probably sail to-day. She pro- ceeds direct to Rio de Janeiro, where she will land Col. Tod, the new Minister to Brazil. Mexican Privateer and the Brig Carmelita. The following communication, from the Consul at Barcelona, in reference to the American brig “Carme- lita,” has been received at the Department of State :— Consutate oy Unitep States, Bancrtona, May 21, 1847.

Musical. Panx Tueatne.—On account of the indisposition of Perelli, the tenore in “ Hernani,”” there was no perform- ance last night, at the Park Theatre. We have remark- ed that this singer, whose voice is light, was too often brought forward in public, whilst Perossi and Severi, the other tenores, were left nearly idle. This ought to be avoided by a wise in order to have fresh voices always at hand. A great many persons were dis- appointed last night, not having had any notice of the matter. This evening will be performed Bellini’s celebra- ted opera of‘ Norma.” This composer’s music {s known throughout the old and new world.

She will appear on this occasion as Mra.Haller, in the “Stran- ger,” and as Julians, in the “Honey Moon.” That yung and rising actor, Mr. Clark, takes » benefit next *hursday evening.

Theodore Carnot, of Cape Mount, on the coast of Africa, was arrested last evenin; in this city by Deputy Marshal Smith, under a bemeh warrant. The beset preys Capt. Carnot is, that in the month of December lust, he chartered and fitted out in this port the bark Chancellor, for the purpose of using her in transporting slaves from Cape Mount, (where, it is alleged, Mr. Carnot hasa large slave establishment) and other parts of the African coast, to the island of Cuba.

One man was killed on the spot, and four others were so seriously injured as to re- quire their removal to t! ospital. They were taken to Bellevue, and properly cared for. We have not ascer- tained what the immediate cause of the accident was.— So serious an accident bas not, for a long time, occurred in that neighborhood. Kitxv.—On Sunday last some pieces of timber at Harlem Bridge, used for hoisting, by some accident, fell from thelr place, and struck two men, one of whom was so seriously hurt that he yesterday died in consequence of the injuries received.

The Police and the Pauper Emigrants. i New York, June 21, 1847, To tHe Eprron or tHe Henan. ‘Sin,—Will you please allow me, through the medium of your paper, to direct the attention of the police to a most insufferable nuisance Vgc in various parts of our city, and especially in the upper part of Broadway. I refer to an horde of newly. arrived emigrante, both male and female, all strong aud able-bodied, who have located themselves on certain particular blocks, for the purpose of beaging for charity. ‘These persons watch an opportanit; when the stores are filled with people, when ey come in, rudely thrust themscives up to the coun- tor, and begin & series of the most unintelligible jargon imaginable, thinking that, in the hurry and confusion you will be obliged to give alms*in order to get rid of them. They will attack Indies going in and out of the stores, and follow them the whole length of the block ; and finding themselves still refused, they turn round and basely insult them. On the other hand, ifthe ladies yield to the itipplications of there beggars, and give to them, they will lay hold of their dresses, and sometime almost overcome them with their feigned gratitude. This subject is becoming a matter of loud complaint ; and the Chief of Police, by seeing that there isa remedy provided will receive the thanks of very many.

Mr. Brisch’s clerk came to that house and asked me where I wanted to go. | told him I wished to go Taylorsville, Muskingum Co., Ohio, I then asked him what it would cost; he said he did not know, but would go to the office and find out. He returned, and said it would cost $12, and that Taylorsville was not in Ohio, but in Spencer Co., Kentucky. Some maps were then examined, and it was fouud that Taylorsville was in Muskingum Co., Ohio, by the same clerk; I had bought my ticket, but when I found that ‘Taylorsville, Obio, was not so far as Tayloreville, Ky., I asked him if he would not make a deduction; he said he would make a deduc- tion of $1. The first ticket was given to me in Swartz’s house; the second ticket was given to me in Brisch’s office;’ the office is ia Washington street. The ticket now shown is the second one, the frst was torn up b: the clerk; the ticket was endorsed Taylorsville, Ohio, but the face of it was only a receipt to take me to Pitts- burg. The list of prices for passage now shown, was a to me the next day by a member of the German ociety.

Wo understand that the President of the United Stats will leave this city on Tuesday next, on ashort tour to the north. He will, wo learn, be accompanied by Mr. Clifford, the Attorney General; and should the state of the public business permit it, Mr, Buchanan, the Secre- tary of State, may join him at New York; at which latter city it in expected the President will arrived on Friday next, the 25th instant. Mr. Burke, of New Hampshire, Mr. Appleton, of Maine, and possibly one or two other personal friends. will bo of his suite, The other members ofthe cabinet will remain sy pala It would, we have no doubt, have been highly gratifying to the President, if they could, with = ety have accompanied him. ‘The Secretary of War, who has been confined to his office—without the intermission of a single day—for nearly two years, would, we doubt not, have been pleased to accompany him throughout his tour, and especially as far as New York. The existence of the Mexican war, however, renders it prudent, in the opinion of that officer, that he should remain at his post. The President's absence from the seat of government will not, at most exceed a fortnight, and og 4 not extend to half that time. He will be advised daily by the cabi- not of the state of the public business; and though does not anticipate any occurrence which will prevent him from completi his intended tour, yet, ifsuch should unexpectedly be the case, he will feel it to be his duty at once to return from any point at which the intel. ligence making it necessary rem f reach him. He has, we learn, been invited by the legislatures of New Hampshire and Maine to extend his visit to the capitals of those States; and we hope he may havo it in his power to do, so. His vinlt if ray nconnected with part; ities, or any political object; but is one which, oaths oxime time that it will afford him a brief laxation from his arduous public duties, will enable him to pay his respocts to his fellow-eipisons of the northern section of the Union, and to take & cursory view of their institutions, their public works, and other interesting oe derstand that Mrs. Polk will attend the Presi- dent as faras Baltimore; at which city, she and her niece, Miss R-——,{will separate from him on a visit to Tennossee, where they will remain five or six weeks.

The object of Mr. Bennett’s visit to Europe having been attained, we are at liberty to detail the arrangements which he has concluded, for connecting the minds of the people of this coun- try and the old world, and drawing them closer together than they have ever been, by means of the newspaper press. We have to state, that his arrangements, having for their aim the improvement of the Heratp STABLISHMENT, have been directed to the employmeat of correspondents und agents in every city of importance on the continent, with a head, or chief agency, in the city ot Paris, for the continent of Europe, and in London for Great Britain. The minor agencies will embrace Vienna, Munich, Trieste, Berne, Madrid, Rome, Antwerp, Bremen, Brussels, Berlin, Naples, Constantinople, St. Petersburgh, and the North of Europe generally; Dublin, London, Liverpool, Alexandria, Bombay, and the East, as far as China, connecting with the gréat Overland Mail from’ the East. These agencies have all been established without xeference to.their cost, and the proprietor relies upon the discrimination and patronage of the people of this country and Europe for a return of the additional expense to which they will subject him. Newspapers have become a powerful element in the civilization of the world. With their aid, and that of ocean steam navigation, the world is destined at no distant day to be completely frater- nised; each nation becoming part of a grand and united whole, and each people becoming parts of one great family. The experience of the last ten years shows what has been done through the mighty and united influences of these two agen- cies, and affords us a prospect of the ultimate good which they are destined to accomplish before the next half of the present century 1s over. But to ac- complish such grand results, these two great forces must go hand in hand. Neither must be permitted to lag behind the other. Improve- ments in ocean steamships must be accompanied by similar improvements in journalism; and it behooves the United States, in fulfilment of their great destiny, to originate and practically carry out the improvements in both. This has been done in one respect, and it is nearly done in the other. The steamship Washington has gone on her first mission, bearing, in the beauty of her model and the superiority of her machinery, the greatest improvements of the age; and the recent arrangements of Mr. Bennett in Europe, which will be carried out immediately, constitute the improvements in journalism. Steam and journalism, therefore, have a fair start on their new career of civilizing the world; and we pledge ourselves that every successive improvement that may be made in ocean steam navigation, will be followed by a corresponding improvement in American journalism—as far as the Herald can do it; indeed, we may beat steam, for we have a superior power to aid our efforts. We are now on a par with the Washington ; the electric telegraph may soon place us far beyond that chaf d’euvre of ocean steamers. Our arrangements being thus nearly co plete, we now promulgate our programme or news- paperial bulletin. TERMS OF ADVERTISING AND SUBSCRIPTION. The Herald for Europe.
