‘The Weekly Herald. The following are the contents of the Weekly Herald, to be issued at nine o’clock this morning :— 4 The foreign news received by the Caledonia ~and Union ; domestic markets; movements of the President, with accounts of his reception in the Eastern States; the despatches of our special correspondent attending the Chicago Convention ; a full account of the celebration of the 4th of July in this city ; correspondence from Washington ; the latest news from Mexico; money and sta al articles, &c., &c., &c. It will contain three engravings of the cele- bration of the Fourth in New York. Single copies in wrappers 64 cents each, mailed from obr office. r Republic, Another special overland express for the New York Herald, reached this city yesterday with the New Orleans Delta of the 2d inst., thirty-six hours in advance of the mail. It contains intel- ligence from the city of Mexico to the 12th ult. inclusive. It is, like all other Mexican news, » very contradictory and uneatisfactory. Tt will be recollected that we yesterday pub- lished accounts from the city of Mexico of the determination of the Mexicans to oppose the ad- vance of General Scott to their capital, by every means in their power, and that the greatest pre- parations were making to defend the Halls of Montezuma. It now appears that the Mexican papers to the 12th contain no evidence of that ormidable opposition which threatened to over- whelm General Scott. According to the telegraphic summary of the intelligence brought by our express, the Mexican newspapers are all strongly opposed to peace. Santa Anna, to the 12th, had not been declared Dictator. The rumors tothat effect had been set afloat by hisenemies. The Republicano of the 12th recommends that ‘the forees which are in- tended to defend the capital, should be well drill- ed and properly instructed. It says that the chief- tains should bear in mind, that it is to be their last effort, and consequently no exertion to have it successful should be spared. The Razonador, the peace paper, recommends peace only from a conviction thatthe country cannot carry on the war. Our despatch further states that Gen. Valencia has taken command of the army of San Luis Potosi; thata letter addressed to the Monitor from Puebla, says that Gen. Worth, who began by kissing his hands to~all the young ladies at Puebla, has concluded by breaking the door of Senor Paros’s house, and lodging in it; that Gen. Scott was to march between the 15th and 20th of June, as he was determined to celebrate the 4th of July at the capital; that, according toano- ther account, he was not to march for six weeks from the 10th ult; that the citizens of Tlascala had solicited Gen. Scott for protection froma party of guerillas; that a letter from Puebla ad- vises Santa Anna to march out and attack Gen. Scott before he is reinforced. Such are the latest accounts from the city of Mexico. With so many contradictory statements, what are we to believe ? We must wait quietly and patiently till our forces march into the main Plaz. of the capital. (v'rom the N. O, Delta, of the 2d inst. We yesterday received files of Mexican papers from the capital, to aud of the 12th ult., dates tl later than any previously received. We make from them a serios of extracts which are given below. We find in ‘them no evidence of that fermidable, fearful opposition to the advance of Gen. Scott, the apprehensions of which, for the last day or two so alarmed the nerves of some of the more sensitive of our contemporaties, Santa Anna, it seems, however ambitious he may be to play the dictator, is rather shy in proclaiming his pre- ferences; he appears to think that ashe can get along, though minus half his “understanding,” he cau keep the government moving, though resting ona fraction of a ministry. The Gles before us contain full reviews of the opinions of the different newspapers throughout the country, which number about twenty, and with but one single exception (in Durango) they are all fully in favor ef the WEL Monitor Republicano of the 12th ult., contains a lengthy article on the subject of the dictatorship. Up to that date Santa Anna was not proclaimed, nor had he proclaimed himself,dictator. Indeed, the Monitor ridi- Culed the idea that he designed to become one. The rumor to that effect which prevailed in the capital, is alleged to have originated with, and been propogated by, his enemies and the enemies of the country. The Moni‘or asserts that the new cabinet is not to be entirely formed of Puros, (democrats,) as stated in some of the journais, and that the new ministers will carry out the policy of their predecessors. Santa Anna thinks that without a full ministry—with the Ministers of War and Finance, together with the clerks in the Bureau of Foreign Relations—he will be able, for the time being, to carry on the government. In an articlo published in the same paper of the 10th, we find the following paragraph:—“ 'here is no doubt but that the majority of the nation is in favor of carry. ing on the war, and we are, consequently, convinced that it is impossible to enter into any arrangement for peace; were it to be concluded, it would prove fatal to the nationality of Mexico. ‘The defanders of the nation are, therefore, encouraged with brilliant hopes of final seccess, as it is undoubted that the position in which the United States finds itself must, in the end, secure us triumphant success, notwithstanding our former disasters. All of us who sincerely wish the continuation of the war, look upon an equivocal policy as dangerous, and all overtures of peace a perilous means to secure it; for this reason we are opposed to any change in the poli- tics which may give it « pacific appearance.” Congress met at the capital at last on the 10th, and the proposition of declaring a recess, was lost by one ‘vote. El Republicano, of the 12th, ina leader of great length recommends that the forces which are intended to de- fend the capital, should be well and properly instructed and drilled, as they have plenty of time before the Ame- rican army arrives there. Being chiefly recruits, the generals commanding them, he says, should i pains in their drill. The editor says that the chieftains should bear in mind that that is to be their last effort, ‘consequently no exertion to have it successful should ads dor, ths paper, says that it has re: lor, the peace , Pe Ban ‘peace, only because it is convinced that the government would not or could not carry on the war, ut at the same time it approves Santa Anna’s with- drawal of his resignation, and praises him very much, saying that he is tne only man in the country who can alive the war spirit. Legislature of Aguascalientes had given its yote to Gen. Almonte. A letter from Oajaca says that Santa <nnsa has been unanimously nomipated President by the Myeislaturo of that State. Gen. Valencia had reported having arrived at San Luis Potosi on the Sth June, where he took immediate command of the army. Gon. Salas had alse arrived there, and taken charge of his post. Gen. Bustamente was at Irapuato on the oth, where he in immediately to raise forces from the State It was thought that Gen. Alcorta bad issued an order by which Bustamente would be obliged to go as tar as Sinaloa, in order to take command of the forces there—which, according to Ei Monitor, are none. It seems, from what we see in the Mon: of the llth, that Santa Anns and Canalizo had “made friends” once more, and, consequently, the examination of the latter for his conduct at Cerro Gordo was dropped. Although it was reported that he had been appointed Governor of the State of Vera Crus, he was to be employed in the defence of the capital. El Estandarte de los Chinacates, published at San Luis Potosi, says that a large body of guerillas has been organized jocas, about twelve leagues from San Luis, and that they were all well armed and equipped. Gen. Alvarez vent an express from Ameca, on tho 1th, with correspondence intercepted in the possession of # courier going from the capital to Puebla. The Go- vernment hed called on the different persons sendin letters, in order that they should be opened and read, to show whether or not they contained any information of which the Americans could avail themselves. El Republicano of the 11th, has accounts from Pue- bla, in which it is stated that the American forces would not move towards the capital before six weeks, (from the 10th of June) as they were srraiting reinforcements and heavy artillery from Vera Cruz. El Monitor of the same date publishes a letter in which the writer states that he has been informed that the whole forces will move towards the capital, in all from the 15th to the ‘2th, as they had resolved and were determined to spend and celebrate the 4th of July at the capital. A letter from Puebla, addressed to El Monitor, states that General Worth went as fat as Cholula with 200 being Sant returned alone with his staff, without ‘A otter reotlred fy toy ‘was to ‘wt the capital on the 10th, from Tlaxcala, says that the inhabitants of that place had nage petition to Gen. Scott, asking protection of chief of guerillas, Portillo, onstantl: annoying them. ‘The Monitor says “that it ‘seems the Tlaxcaltecos wish to imitate their predecessors during the time when the Spaniards went to conquer them.

We are indebted to Dr. Née, one of the passen- gers of the French mail steamship Union, for a copy of Le Commerce, of the 20th ult. 3 It contains some interesting commeraial intel- ligence, including a full report of the Havre mar- ket of the 19th, and several items of marine news. It also contains several interesting items of miscellaneous intelligence. : i The steamship Washington, Captain Hewitt, sailed from Southampton at7 o’clock on the morning of the 17th ult , for Bremen. "The Gazette de France of the 20th June, has the following passage :— poe aac al o (ee eee pa pass from the rank of witness to that of accused, and havin him with Mr. De Cubiéres, before the Chamber of Peers, an animated discussion ensued, whether the Chamber of Deputies ought to interfere in’ the sccusation, for Mr. Ceste was minister, when the affair of Cubléres and Par- mentier took place in Paris. The affair of Emile de Girardin made a great impression in Paris; the matter, if not already entirely discovered, is, however, enveloped with such a transparent veil, that we shall no doub; soon receive the news of its haying been probed to the bottom. The Peer who has bought his pairie for 80,000 francs, is said to be’knewn. | The Sémaphore of Marseilles, of the 16th of June, contains the following extract:—‘“89 ships with cargoes of wheat, from different ports of the Levant, have landed their cargoes within a few days, at the port of Frioul. Up to that time 235 ships. nearly all loaded with wheat, had arrived at that port.” “L’Indus,” a magnificent ship, the oldest of the French merchant navy, entered Havre on the 18th ult. She was built in England in the year 1718, and is, consequently, one hundred and twenty-nine years old. She was taken from the English, in 1778, by the French, during the war which was declared after the independence of the United States, and has, since that time, re- mained in possession of the French. The official journal of Madrid of the 14th June contains the following notification, made by the minister of justice, to the autoritier of the king- dom :— Some newspapers havin, knewlodged by the constitutfon aud the laws, of the In- faut Dona Luisa Fernanda to suoosed to she cruwa 0 i these kingdoms,.the public prosecutor, sreend te these’ discussions, is obliged by his duty to adopt coorcive measures to prevent them for the future. Disquiet and trouble still reign at Madrid.— One person says that Espartero had received permission to return to Spain with all his grades and titles; while others say that Narvaez was to return and seize the reins of government. Our+advices from Portugal, are of the 14th of June. The Junta had accepted the proposed conditions. Measures had been taken immedi- ately by the commandant of the English forces to stop the march of the troops of the Queen’s party, whose leader was Saldanha. Correspondence from Constantinople of the 2d June arrived, via Germany, contains the follow- ing news :— The last mail has brought the news which was so im- patiently waited forat Vienna. The Prince of Metter- nich has cut the gordian knot, The Divan’ are recognized a8 just. Mr. Mussarus, the Ottoman Minister will return to Greece and reside in Athens.— Mr. Colttei, * or one of his colleagues,” will ies. a visit and make an apology. Before all that will be done, the President of the Council will write to the Ottoman Porte to make known that the Hellenic cabinet is read, to receive Mr. Mussarus; but it is lerstood that this disoussed the rights ac ambassador will be recalled after a certain time, an another diplomat will be appointed in his place. | By this piece of diplomacy, the Div: ran succeeds in Later Berd ultimatum; and the only difficulty that now ext in the way of a final settlement is the visit and apol which will be made by Mr. Coletti, or by “ one of his col- leagues.” The Count of Sturmer and Lord Cowley had an interview with the great Vizier, in which they congratulated him, or rather they congratulated one another, on the happy termination of their uarrel. The Ottoman Porte adheres entirely to this settlement. The only thing now is for the Greek cabinet to consent to it. x Negotiations are to be opened between Austria and Prussia, (respecting the Zollverein) in order to effect a mutual understanding between the two countries relative to commercial matters. The aulic cancellor, Baron D’Esh, has departed for Berlin for that purpose. : ‘A food riot took place on Tuesday evening, at Ostend. The igh price of wheat and flour in the market of Furnes, obliged the bakers to aug- ment the price of the bread. This becoming known, a great many persons went to supply themselves with bread, wishing to avoid the rise, which was to begin the next ae The bakers had concealed their bread, and refused to sellany. This refusal excited the people, and a riot began, but the burgomasters and three can- cellors presided to the sale of the bread, and peace was restored that evening . A scandalous affair, similar to Mr. Gudin’s, took place at Vienna. A Captain de N., aide-de- camp to the Duke Ferdinand de Saxe Cobourg- Cohary, brother-in-law to the Princess Clemen- tine d’Orleans, forfeited his honor in so shame- ful a manner, that French scandal is left quite behind by it. The particulars have not been given. Markets.

We visited her from her upper deck to the keelson, yesterday, and now furnish our readers not only with a description of her, but also with the particulars of her passage over the Atlantic. The Union left Cherbourg on the 22d of June, at 7 o'clock in the morning, and arrived here on Thursday the 8th of July, at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, The day of her departure and the day of her arrival being divi- ded, as is generally done in the case of the English steamers, the French steamship has made her passage in fifteen days instead of sixteen. This is quite a remark- able trip for a ship that had never betore made her way across the Atlantic, and whose officers were somewhat ignorant of the road. In addition to this the chief engi- neer has shown us his log book, in which it is stated that for the purpose of repairing the machinery, and ar- ranging some other matters, the U. was stopped fourteen hours during the voyage. It is unnecessary to say any- thing relative to the difference between New York and Cherbourg, and Boston’and Liverpool. ‘The second day she was at sea a head wind began to the third day out, a fatal accident took place in the en- gine room. The second machipist, named Thomas, having come down to the lowest part of the machinery, was fixing a screw, when the unfortunate man was struck on the head by the lever and his skull broken. Thomas had strength enough to reach the deck, where the surgeon of the Union gave him every attention which a most touching solicitude could suggest; but the poor man, af- ter twelve days of the most horrible agony, died,‘and was launched to his last resting place in presence of all the officers, crew, and passengers, who assisted in the cere- mony evidently with the deepest sorrow. A Catholic priest who was among the passengers, L’Abbé Butem, presided at the ceremony; and this solemn burial was a wad spectacle. ¥ This wasthe only remarkable incident that occurred during the voyage, and the Union arrived here safe and in goodorder. Before reaching her pier at the foot of Clinton street, she met with some difficulties occasioned by asloop, by which one of her boate was crushed to pieces; and when near the wharf a German brig having refused to move, broke her left paddle box, with its bow- sprit, But now the Union is safely fastened to the wharf. Ina few days she will be ready to receive visiters, who may assure themselves of ull the elegance and comfort whieh can be displayed by the French officers. ‘The Union bas for her Captain Edmond 1! Knight of the Cross of Honor, a ve: man, and who is known to be an ex Mr. D’Hesecque, an old officer of the navy, fine old gentleman, full of urbanity, acts’ as*Messrs Herault & Handel’s special agent on board of the steamer. Then comes Mr. Lainé, the second officer, who has himself been a captain in the merchant navy. Then there are two lieutenants, Mmrs. Bandran and Fonastro. The surgeon is Mr. Poirson. This gentleman, whose medical knowledge has been mentioned te us principally in relation to the accident of the x machinist, is a very a looking gentleman, worthy of the rank he cecupies, ‘The machinist in chief is Mr. Joannet, having the rank of an officer. The erew is composed of 54 sailors and boys, 18 firemen, three cooks, a baker, a chamber- maid, and six servants. We must also mention four machinists, having rank of masters ; three masters, the first carpenter, thetwo other masters of the crew, then one furniture maker. The form of the Union is quite elegant and bold. Her masts slim and strong, and tapering ; the figure which stands at her head represents a golden eagle terminating in a dragon’s tail. The machinery which has been cast at“ Le Creusot”’ ‘rare Great beauty of d ign, and is carefully ‘abened, and moves with the utmost ease and facility. In short, it works charming}: Let us now visit the cabins appropriated to passengers. ‘The only rooms we find on the deck are occupied. by the captain, the superintendent, and the s . A small parlor, with a divan, is in the middle of these rooms, and frontiug them the wheel, compass, ko. ke. Under the deck are the cabins occupied by the passe gers. They are divided into two long sections along the ribs of the ship, and end with the dining-room In the middle of these rooms are two small square blocks, in which are also rooms, and a parlor for the ladi ‘he dining-reom, instead of being like those of other steam- ers—longitudinal—occupies the whole breadth of the ship, in an oblong way; and along the ribs of the steamer are two large French’ windows, which may be entirely epened, when weather allows it, and permit the fine breeze to enter and delight the passengers. The long table of the dining-room, of mahogany, is plerced with holes, in which are placed very elegant. sil- ver castors, containing each a bottle of wine, a tumbler, @ bowl, salt, pepper,.two wine-glasses, and a decanter. The entire service of the table is of silver, gilt inside. We congratulate the vers, who, exempt from sea sickness, are able to a! wach a bonne chére dur- ing their voyage from France to New York, and vice versa, The bread is made every day on board of the Union, and we. shown an ‘apparatus for changing salt water weet beversge. The wines, claret, burguady, sherry, madeira, are on the daily bill of fare, and champagne runs. freely twice or thrice a week. From the dining room, to which are adjoined the of- fice and pantry, we return upon deck and find ourselves before two guns, which are not “peace-maker”, guns, but to be used for salutes, and placed like guns in a fri- ate. ee The Union is rigged with three masts. On the fore- mast she carries three yards, main-top and royal. ‘The mainmast, in consequence of its proximity to the chim- ney, which is immediately forward, carries no square sails, but occasionally a spencer or stey-sail. ‘The mizen is furnished with a gaff and spanker. She cairies a jib and flying jib. ‘We shall now conduct our readers into the room called “Chambre de 2de Classe” (second price cabin.) ‘This room, we must confess, is as well distributed as the first one, excepting the meals, which are not perhaps as good, In the main cabin the arrangements are as com- fortable as in he first. There are #4 beds in the first cabin; five roomsare furnished with four beds each; one with six, and the others with two, like the other steam- ers, All the furniture is made of mahogany, carved in style, and the chairs, arm-chairs, and bureaux are of a magnificent model. ‘These last pieces are covered with red crimson velvet, which look simple and very elegant. The bedding is a4 soft and good as desirable; and the berths are as airy as possible. In short, the French steamer Union, whose length on deck, from tafferel to night-heads, is 196 feet, with a breadth of beam of 42 feet, ins magnificent ship, | We must confess that the painting is not so clean as desira- ble, but the French government, after its long delays, did not at best have sufficient time for the company to fit out this steamer ad they desired to. We have been as- sured that the next steamer to come, the Philadelphia, will be # model of elegance. We cannot conclude this article without speaking of the change of name of the Canada (and not the Chris- tophe Cofombus, as before said,) into the Union, and the three other steamers into American names. This act of courtesy towards the American nation, though appreci- ated by us, was unnecessary. The Canada, discovered by Carter in 1534, was as good for a name as her present one. This, as @ matter of course, is only our opinion.— We may bearong, but we think so. We have also to mention @ note which has been sent to us signed by all the passengers of the French steamer. It is as follows :— “We the undersigned, passengers of the French steam- er Union, desirous to render homage to the conduct of Captain Hebert and his officers, who gave us the greatest care and the choicest attention during all the Yoyage, have resolved, in order to give the testimony of our gratitude in a public manner, to make known to the American people, the kind manner with which we have been treated by them, Signed by all the passongors.”? The French steamer Union will sail for Europe on the 24th of this month. No doubt she will be filled by all the travellers desirous to meet with comfort and a quick Passage. Tetecrarnic Communication Between Port- LAND AND Havirax.—Mr. J. Speed, agent of the company which controls the right to estab- lish a line of telegraph between Portland, Maine, and Halifax, N. S., advertises that the company have been offered by private individuals the price asked for the construction of a ling of tele- graph from Portland, in Maine, to Halifax, in Nova Scotia; but the owners of the right are ug- willing to} place it in the hands of private parties for speculative purposes, without making aneffort to dispose of it in a!way by which the whole com- munity will be benefitted. It rests with the pub- lic to determine what course this company will ado 1 the money be not provided by the pub- lic, our merchants and citizens will be at the mer- cy of the speculators, Books of subscription will be open in Livingston & Wells’s Express Office, No. 10 Wall street, for ten days, within which time the question must be settled one way or the other. Tue Cainese Junx has at last arrived. She was reported inside the Hook by the Telegraph at sundown last evening A steamboat went down for the purpose of bringing her to the city.

Lady Suffolk is supposed to be in as fine condition at the present time as she ever was in her life; and from the manner in which J, K.

This course is vi favorable to Lady Suffolk, she. having made the quickest two miles on record on this track.

On’ Boweny Tuxatne.—-There will be an excellent enter- tainment at the Bowery theatre this evening, for the ‘benefit of Mr. Jordan, and we have no doubt that it will attract a very large audience,end fi)l Mr. Jordan's coffers aswell. In addition to the usual quantum of amuse- ments, Mr. H. Marks will perform a grand concerto with orchestral accompaniments; Mr. Dennison will sing the much admired ballad “Beats there » Heart,” and another equally admired one; Mr. Doyle will recite the eloquent speech made by Robert Emmett, the Irish pa- ious to being sentenced to death by Lord Nor- ae. TW. mes will recite “ Bucks have at ye all,’ ‘and Mr. Neale and Mr. Jordan will each sing» comic song. This, of itself, would furnish no mean bill, but in addition to it, the travestie the “ Lady of the Lions,” the Sth act of “Richard, the 8d,” in which Mrs. Wilkinson will personate Richard, with the farce of “My Master’s Secret” and the drama of “ Massa- niello, or the Dumb Girl of Portici,” will be roan the whole comprising"s varied and excellent bill for any house, and one especially well adapted to a benefit, The “ Naiad Queen” will soon be re} reduced at tthe Bares; all its original 8] ant enery.

CastLx Ganven.—This most agreeable and pleasant spot in warm weather, is crowded nightly by large and fashionable assemblages of people from the uppermost part of the city, as well as from the lower part, who visit it for the purpose of inhaling the delightful sea breeze which never fails to blow over it, and enjoy the excellent performances of the talented vaudeville com- pany, which the have at great expense em- loyed. It is crowded every night, and will continue to ‘as well patronized as it has been since the commence- ment of the warm weather, so long as the managers ex- ert themselves in producing novelty and amusement for their patrons. The bill for this evening, as may be seen by reference to our advertising columns, comprises @ vast deal of amusement. Patmo’s ToeaTax.—Mr. Burke, the lessee, takes his benefit on Monday evening next, on which occasion Mr. Leonard, the Irish comedian, Mr. John Winans, Barney ‘Williams, the celebrated John Dunn, Mr. H. Marks the violinist, and a mumber of other distinguished artists, will appear.

Miss Mary Taylor and Mr. Chippendale, are at St. Louis, where they seem to have become great favorites. are at Salem, Musical, Castitx Ganpen.—FareweLtt Concert oF THE Iratran Company.—This grandiose soirée musicale attracted about four thousand five hundred persons to this vast establishment. The hall was brilliantly attend- ed, and all the dilettanti present were delighted with the admirable music offered by the able singors of the com- pany. The Signore Tedesco, Rainieri, Caranti; and the Signori Perelli and Novelli, were received with a] plause and admiration, for they fulfilled their parts with a feeling and an entrain worthy of a farewell concert. Signor Botesini, in his composition and execution, was very good. Tho piece on the motives of the “Som- nambula,” rendered upon his magic contrabasso, is a wonder of genius,a master-piece, which bewitches and astonishes to excess ita hearers. Never have we heard such applause offered to an artist. It was truly an ova- tion. Arditi wds no less remarkable in the “ Carnival of Venice.” This well known composition of Paganini, he rendered with a brio, and an expression so new, that except Sivori, he made the audience forget all the other violin players that have ever visited this country. ‘The performance terminated with the celebrated Spanish song of La Colasa, by Tedesco. The company leave this afternoon for Philadelphia. We wish them success. Camrseuu’s Minstrets play at New Haven, Conn. on Monday and Tuesday evenings next, where they will sing their favorite songs, chorusses, &c., representing the peculiar features of negro character. Herz and Sivori are performing at Cincinnati, where they are received as usual, with the most unanimous favor. New Books. Doacert’s New Yorx City Dinectory, ror 1847 arp 1848—Published by Jobn Doggett, Jr., No. 156 Broad- way.—The Direotory for this year is out, and in point of interest and value is the bet ever issued in this city. We learn from the publisher's address tothe public, that the number of names in the Directory, for 1846, was 65,838, and that the number in this year’s is 68,459, being an increase of 2,321. This is a work which no citizen should be without. ‘When people are aware of the great labor and expense that the getting up and pul of this Directory requires, we think it the meanest thing possible for such of them as need its use, not to purchase acopy. Umbrellas may be borrowed at any time, for they ares species of chattel to which there are no really verted rights, the decision of an Eastern judge to the contrary notwithstanding, but no man of honor or prin- ciple would ever ask the loan of a directory.

Vattemare, or rather, through him to the French Government, for the liberal donations in the shape of books and national documents, which have been lately forwarded to this country from France. On motion of Hon. Benjamin F. Butler, ex-Governor W. ©, Bouck, Luther Bradish, R. H. Morris, W P. Hall, W. F. Havemeyer, Ogden Hoffman, A. H. Mickle, and A. H.

His remarks were re- ceived with warm Cag ‘After some remarks from other speakers, Dr. Wainwniaut moved that » committee be appoint- ed to make a suitable response, address, and resolutions, in reply to France. The following committee wore then appointed: Dra. Walnwright, Hae, B. F. Butler, 8. G, Raymond, T. K. Fulton, and W. A.

Resolved, ‘That wo take pleasure in expressing our high sense of the enthusiasm, disinterestedness and perse- verence with which Mr. Vattemare has pursued his great object ; and that we congratulate him on the success which has already crowned his labora, and which, we trust, is but the jest of the universal adoption, and the lasting existence, of his plan. Resolved, That while the costly and useful books and documents with which Mr. Vattemare has been charged by his Majesty the King of the French, and by the Cham- ber of Deputies, the Minister of Public Instruction, and other authorities and institutions of France, for the Congress of the United States, and for various other bodies and institutions in our country, should be re- ceived with the t due to their intrinsic vali od to the distinguished sources from which they come, they possess, in our eyes, « more precious, interest, as to- ens of the good will of the French mation towards the people of the United States; and that we cordially reci- procute this sentiment, with # lively remembrance of an- cient obligations, and in the pleasing hope of continued and increasing friendship between the two countries. Resolved, That as inhabitants of the city of New York, and in view of the correspondence opened, through the agency of Mr. Vattemare, between this city and the city of Paris, we feel ourselves specially called upon to express towards the inhabitants of that t and renowned metropolis, our friendly regards and sincere wishes. Resolved, That these resolutions be signed by the Pre- sident, the Vice Presidents, and the Secretaries of this and published with the proceedings of this and that acopy be communicated by the Se- oretaries to Mr. Vattemare. ‘The meeting hereupon separated.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company have finally determined upon a route for the extension of their road westward. The Wheeling committee, and a committee of the directors of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, to whom the subject was referred by the Board, have unanimously sgreed upon terms, which it is believ- ed will lead to the acceptance of the law by the Railroad Company, and ensure the early completion of the road to Wheeling. it is understood that the objectionable features of the law are to be removed, and that the unrestricted right of way is granted from the Virginia line to Wheeling, the road not being confined to any particular line, or re- quired to touch any particular point on the way thither. Ithas also been agreed that the city of Wheeling is to subscribe five hundred thousand dollars to the stock of the company, and to secure its prompt payment in « manner satisfactory to the railroad company. A free gift of two acres and a halfof ground, in position eli- gible for the purpose, is to be made by Wheeling to the railroad company, for a depot; and the use of steam power on the railroad track in Wheeling, is to be se- cured. These are the principal terms ef the agreementy which have been unanimously made by the Wheeling committee, and the committee of the di- rectors of the railroad company. The agreement has been sent out to Wheeling for the formal approval of the authcrities of that town, which, there is no doubt, it will receive. It will then be submitted to the board of directors of the railroad, and there is every reason to believe it will meet their sanction.
