EW YORK HERALD. =a New York, Sunday, July 11, 1847. The French Our artist-is engaged in making an engraving of the French steamship Union, which we shall publish in to-morrow’s paper if possible—if not, in Tuesday's. This vessel has been visited a good deal since her arrival, and has been warm- ly commended by our ship builders and machine makers. She wall be opened to visiters in a few days, The Rules of the Supreme Court. Those belonging to the legal profession will find in this day’s paper the new rules of the Su- preme Court, made by the Judges thereof at Al- bany. It is to be hoped that the Court will have the rules of practice as short and as few as pos- sible, vot like those of the old Court, which com- prised a good sized volume. ‘The Respect for the Union, if the great men of our country are divided in opinion on the question or con- stitutionality of the general government un- dertaking internal improvements—if they are divided on the question of the tariff, or the expediency or justice of the war which we are engaged in with Mexico, they are notdivided as to the necessity of men of all parties and po- litical creeds, uniting in supporting and perpetu- ating the constitution of the United States, and the institutions under which we so happily live and prosper. There can be no question of this, for the fact is before us. We have seen that during Mr. Polk’s tour to the north and east, he made this subject the theme of his remarks in every place he visited, and feelingly and happily pourtrayed the growth and prosperous condition of our common country, and the disasters which would occur, if our union were dissolved. The same may be said of Mr. Webster, when on his Southern tour. The constitution and the preservation of the Union formed the topics on which he spoke at every place he visited—that constitution of which he is the eloquent expound- er, and the study of which he has pursued all his life, and every syllable of which is as familiar to him as the countenances of his own children. Thus we see Mr. Polk and Mr. Webster, one at the North and the other atthe South, opposed to each other in politics, but both advocates of the constitution and the Union, and eloquent in portraying the advantages of perpetuating them, and the mournful fruits that would follow the destruction of either. The same may be said of our great men of all parties. However-so-much they may disagree on questions of minor impor- tance, and it is better that they should disagree on them, they are unanimous in one thing—the most important of all—the necessity of support- ing the constitution, and preserving the confede- racy intact. Our rivals and opponents of the old world point toa miserable faction of discontented fanatics who continually prate about slavery and the dis- solution of the Union, and charitably predict for our nation the greatest misfortune that could be- fal us, and the cause of civil and religious liberty over the whole human race. That such a con- temptible faction does exist is unquestionable, but their influence is sadly mistaken and over- rated. Who cares for them, when it is known the sole end and aim of these factious move- ments, is personal gain and personal aggran- disement? As the Union now is, they never can rise to the offices and honors they covet. Like the sans culottes of the French revolu- tion, no change could make their condition worse, while it would probably betterit. The Union will last long after their tongues shall have ceased to articulate their sentiments. “The Union must and shall be preserved”— ‘* Liberty and union now and forever, one and inseparable,” is engraved on the heart of every American, from one extremity ofour wide coun. try to the other. | Tue Re-ENLIsTMENT or VoLUNTEERS.—We are informed that the officers who have been ap- pointed to recruit for the army in this city and | elsewhere, are meeting with great success, and | have no difficulty in procuring enlistments of men to take part in the hostilities with Mexico. We are pleased at this, because it proves that the | military enthusiasm and patriotic desire of our citizens to serve their country in her time of , need, are not on the wane, as is represented by | some journals, which appear to be doing their utmost 10 impede and counteract the measures of the administration for bringing the wart» an is- sue as soon as possible, by conquering a peace. gaThose journals that are prostituting the power and influence of the press in waging a petty war on the administration, have repeatedly stated | that none of the twelve months volunteers re- cently discharged, and who have returned to | their homes, evince any disposition to enter the | service again, having morning, at an early hour. stand, come in ballast, but having on board a variet nese curiosities.

Mr. Leonard, the celebrated Irish comedian, will appear in the “White Horse of the Peppers.” A number of other eminent artists have volunteered their services on the occasion.

We were yesterday shown a Mexican escopette and blanket, which together with a sword, were sent by John McCleister, better known here as Country MoClusky, (who is now serving in Mexico.) to Capt. Rynders. ‘The blanket and gun are asid to have been taken by “Country.,’ in alittle affair which himself other of the volunteers got up on their own just after the capture of Vera Cruz. It appears lot of thieving rancheros had been for some time prowling about the enclosure where the mules were kept, about three miles from Vera Cruz, and their depreda- tions had become exceedingly annoying; when,one night some of the boys went out, and too! ation’ in a spot commanding a viow of the enclosure. They had not been there Jong, when @ company of sneaking rancheros made their appearance, and one of them soon fastened himself to a fine mule, with which he was making off, when McCleister fired.’ The Mexican fell, and his com- panions made a wonderfully rapid retreat. Our volun- teer having secured the mule, next proceeded to look after his man. who proved to be badly wounded ; he tock him into camp, where he died next day, and his captor took possession of his accoutrements; which, opportuni- ty offering, he sent to Capt. Rynders. MoCleister’s friends predicted that “ Country” would be heard from, and it seems by the above that their predictions were true.

M., which had the effect to cool the atmos- phere a good deal. ‘The thermometer ranged up to 84 degrees ut its highest in the course of the day, about 2 o'clock. It soon cooled down again towards evening. Acapemy or Mepicine.—A stated meeting of this Academy was held on Wednesday evening, at Conven- tion Hall, in Wooster street—the President, Dr. Stearns, in the chair. Notwithstanding the heat of the evening, nearly a hundred members were in attendance, and the proceedings were of unusual interest. The following gentlemen were, upon the recommendation of the Com- mittee on Admissions, elected Resident Fellows :—David Green, M. D., Alex. F. Vaché, M. D., John A. Swett, M. D.. Wim. H. Dudley, M.

A highly interesting paper was read by Dr. Pliny Earle, on the * History of the Lunatic Asylums of the United States,” and the “ General Statistics of Insanity” in this country, Several reports were received from various committees, and amongst them a highly valuable one, presented by Dr. Campbell Stewart in behalf of a com- mittee appointed to investigate the subject of the ship fever, which has lately been so prevalent amongst us. A copy of this report was ordered to be forwarded to the Common Council, and its publication in the city pepers was authorized by special vote of the academy. t is upon asubjectof great interest to our citizens, we hope to be able to publish it entire in the course of a day or two.

If the administration lixve committed any wrong act, they deserve and will be censured for | it; but do not tie their hands and prevent them fron procuring peace, by ‘aid and comfort to the enemy,” with the assurance that our brave volun- | teers have got enough of the war.

Qutiine of Dr. Cox’s Sermon on the Death of Dr. Chalmers, of Scotiand It having been duly notified, in several of the public repeat, last Sunday evening, at Dr. Adams's church, in Broome street, the discourse which he had previously delivered to his own congregation in Brooklyn, on the mournful occasion of the decease of the late celebrated Dr. Chalmers—the eminent theologian of Scotland, and one of the most illustrious of modern divines—a nume- rous and respectable assembly had convened some time before the commencement of the service; the desire of many being disappointed in not being able to obtain ad- mission in consequence of the excessively crowded state of the church, attracted by an event which had excited so deep and sympathetic a sensation throughout the re- ligious community on both sides of the Atlantic. The appointed time having arrived, the doctor, after the usual preliminaries, announced the subject of the eve- ning service, taking for the basis of his discourse a por- tion of the 7th verse of the 13th chapter of Hebrews, in connection with the 2d verse of the 8th chapter of Acts, and the 24th verse of the lst chapter of jane. member them who have the rule over have spoken to you the word of ; whose faith follow, considering the end of their conver- sation.

He felt it a delicate position to speak of the illustrious departed in connection with the narra- tion of his own raonal intercourse, and the correctness of the information he had collected and would impart, in advance, of the biography which ublished, as bear- was preparing and would be shortly ing on the present attempt, to exbibit an intellectual ands moral portrait of this good and great man. In presenting @ brief sketch of the deceased, the Doctor stated among other anecdotes, the following particulars. Dr. Chalmers was born on St. Patrick’s Day, 17th March, 1788, in a small in the county of Fifeshire, about thirty miles from Edinburgh, and in early life had to labor under the great disadvantages of an obscure pa- rentage, and the uncouth accent of the original rare and racy brogue of the Scottish dialect, which frequent! exposed him to the derision of inferior minds, but whi he had the sterling good sense never to allow for a mo- ment to disturb his repose, or interfere with the ardor of his collegiate pursuits. He was always a very strict student, and cloistered himself in order to attain the acquisitions of science and classical knowledge, in which laborious exercises he was so successful as to ol the prizes of the University, and never was there a more ardent son of Alma Mater, an er was Alma Mater more honored than in the fame and career which distinguished this devoted alumnus. It is not generally known that be composed with great difficulty, and ela- borated much before he committed his lucubrations to the inspection of the public eye. He entered upon the ae early in life, and when only about twenty-two ears of age. He officiated for many years as pastor of e Tron Church in Glasgow,until he reaigned his charge to assume the duties attached to the chair of moral phi- losephy in the University of St. Andrew’s; but which he relinquished when he conscientiously seceded from the Kirk, and renounced the ecclesiastical control of Queen Victoria, on becoming the leader, the champion, the ornament of the free church of Scotland; neverthe- less, 80 great was the esteem with which he was regard- ed, that his opinion was invariably received and acted upon by the site committee of the British Houses of Par- liament, in granting locations on which to erect chapels for public worship, for those who were deprived, by reason of their conscientious scruples,from any fixed place being sometimes compelled to listen to the preaching of the gospel, in the open air, between the apace of two cross- roads, exposed to torrents of rain, unsheltered by even the scanty covering of umbrellas. For many years dur- ing the earlier part of his ministerial course, similar to the experience of that celebrated commentator, the Rev. ‘Thos. Scott, he was an entire stranger to the influence of spiritual and experimental religion, and on one occa- sion,was so absorbed in the pursuit of chemical and bota- nical studies, that whilst the bell was tolling, the voice of tne sexton was summoning him to the performance of divine seryice, and whom he found in quest of botanical specimens. With much precipatation he hastened to the church, having thrown the specimens into his hat, and which, after the commencement of the service, were discovered, by some of his auditory, upon the top of his head, creating such a sensation, that one of his members had to step up to the palpit, to apprise him of the fact, of which, he had remained altogether unconscious. On the projection of that valuable work, the Edin- burgh Encyclopwdia as 4 complimentary acknow- ledgement of his extensive talents and literary attainments, he was invited to become one of the contributors en the supject of christianity. In reflecting, however, upon the vastness and momentous character of the subject, his mind became so deeply im- pressed und affected with the prodigious design of the undertaking, that he was induced to seek the advice of a deyout member of his church, to whom he unbosomed his feelings, and sense of incapacity, and from whom he had previously maintained some distance, on account of his piety; soliciting his opinion, whether he ought not to decline the proposition, for that he felt himself une- qual to the task; and that the more he contemplated the solemnity of the matter, the greater became the embarrassment of his mind, This pious individual re- monstrated with him omthe grievous destitution of all spirituality in his pulpit ministrations, and recommend- ed him to consult his Greek testament, approach the throne of grace, and the fountain of all wisdom and knowledge, if so he might obtain a Polished quiver from the armory of divine truth—his singular position being that of an ambassador, who, though he had attended court and had ‘been ‘appointed to transact the business of diplomacy, was necessitated to consult a piblic notary to decipher the contents of his commission. From this auspicious moment, his mind being enlightened and his heart affected with the mysteries of the gospel of Christ, his discourse exhibited sueh a spirituality and unction of feeling, as at once electrified Christendom, Some said, “Chalmers has gone mad;” others, “ that he had come to himself,” to which the angels from above responded, yes! In his valedictory address to the congregation of Tron church, he humbly and pathetically declares, “that though he had faithfully preached against vice and all sorts of im- morality, had unfolded and enforced the doctrines, du: ties, privileges, hopes and blessedness of christianity, was not conscious that his ministrations had produced a single conversion, and if a solitary soul been con- verted and turned ‘from the error of his way,’ it was alone cognizant to theeye of Omnisclence.”” Under this delightful change of heart and mind, he prepared the essay for the Edinburgh Ercyclopwdia, on the truth of christianity, adopting the Baconian and New- tonian method inductive philosopny, and a te ‘composition which for depth of thought and rilliancy of imagination hadcertainly never been equal- led, laying prostrate the flimsy sophistries of Hume, Gib- bon, and Voltaire, putting to flight, the entire hosts of infidelity. It has been objected that his writings are de- ficient in "sary and diversity of thought, that hav- ing embraced one idea he delighted to make it the play- thing of his exuberant imagination, presenting cae multiplied forms, and every variety of aspect. Few men, indeed, had the ability and fancy which he possessed to exhaust a subject, so strikingly exemplified in his extra- ordinary essay in the Edinburgh Encyclopedia, alread; referred to. Robert Hall, the Star of England, as Chal- mers was the Star of Scotland, and who was addicted to pass the most withering criticiam on some of his brethren, was asked his opinion of Chalmers; he re- sponded, “that he reminded him of @ door on its hinges, perpetual motion, but no advance.’ Being censured for the injustice and illiberality of the re- he quickly changed the temper of his figure cted another metaphor, in which he compared “northern light,” “to a kaleidescope, which, with a f-w iusignificant materials, on every turn, new, beauti- fal, and brilliant combinations were Produced, resplend- ent with the glory, and adorned with the coloring of heaven.” The celebrated Dr. John Mason ofthis city, be- ing roused from a deep meditation, by the lady whose guest he was, by the enquiry, what he thought of her favorite and popular pastor, Dr, Chalmers, replied," ! thought a very little of him.” The reply astonished his hostess, which observing, he exclaimed, “he made me think so much of the evil of sin, of heaven, of hell, of the love of Christ, of the mercy ‘of God, and the mystery of re- demption, that I could not think anything about the man.” Onthe same day, after having attended the ministration ofa popular and eloquent divine, his opinion being requested, he exclaimed, “how can ‘I think of purllng rivulets, and flowery meads, and shining rivers, whilst the thunders of ra are sounding inmy ears,”” The manner and period of ,hia death, though mysterious,, manifested the favor and wisdom of God's providence for \iod took him, being found dead in his chair, in his study, having previously arranged his pen,ink and paper, intending, at early dawn, to prepare the report for the committee of the free church of Scotlan was proclaimed, in modern Athen: dead,” a universal grief pervaded the city, and convulsed the heart of Christendom, producing an effect rexem- bling the violent infliction of an electric shock. ‘The most attractive foatures in the lineaments ot his lovely character, were unaffected modesty, deep humility, and undeubted sincerity of heart and purpose; and which traits were strikingly displayed during his visits to Lon- don, whilst delivering his discourses on ecclesiastioal os- tablishments, in Hanover Square, and the Caledonian church; and which were attended and applauded by men of the highest rank and greatest talents, of oppo- site sentiments and diverse creeds; and although sur- rounded by an areopagus of critics, he exemplified that simplicity, humility,and child-like character for which he was 80 greatly beloved united toand sustained by a course of life the most pure, irreproachable and benevolent.— To the very close of his earthly career, his application was #0 severe that probably it hastened the period of his death, for his study to him was like the Isle of Patmos, and since the days of » Howe and a Baxter, &c., no severer calamity has befallen the ranks of christendom.

The foregoing is necessarily a very abridged and ete outline of the extended and elaborate encomium pronounced upon the rare and ex- emplary virtues and mental greatness of the illustrious deceased, and which was delivered in the peculiar man- né?, interspersing unecdotes, singular epithets, and stri- king appellatives, so characteristic of this eccentric though popular preacher, and notwithstanding the op- ive and almost suffocating heat of the atmosphere, was liatened to with unabated attention.

The Hon. Dixon H. Lewis, the great Senator, left town on Friday, for his home in Alabama, acoompanied by his lady. The sojourn of the honorable Senator among us of the North, has been distinguished for the variety and interesting character of its events. ‘The unremitting activity with which he pursued for some three weeks his examination of all our public works and institutions, and whatever might interest the statesman and the gentle man, bore striking contrast’to his huge proportions; | whilst the gusto and good humor with which he enjoyed the sight-seeing and hospitalities, was in harmonious keeping with his more than “laugh and grow fat” ro- tundity of figure.

Halifax, Franklin, and Johnson counties each had delegates pre- sent, besides our own large representation, circum- stance wholly unprecedented in this State on similar oc- casions. We observed some eight or ten democrats (so called) in the meeting; but whether they were mere lookers on, or endorsed the proceedings, we cannot say. One thing is certain—if they took no active part in the meeting, they did not venture to oppose any thing, not even the reselution denouncing the attempt of Congress to censure the old hero,” The Finoastle Valley Whig sa; Teller is greeted, as he pases through Giles county, with two beautiful flags, floating in the air, some 80 or 100 feet high, handsomely lettered, in honor of General Taylor, his officers and men.
