Ocean Steam NavigationEurope and America | The benefits to the who'e civilized world, which were predicted to follow the successful experiment of ocean steam-navigation, have now commenced taking effect, and are participated in by the nations of the old world as well as by those of the new. To the United States these benefits will be, and are of incalculable advan- tage. We have been brought within a fortnight sail of Europe—and people of different tongues are drawn into juxtaposition, and mingle together as members of one great family. : The advantages which we at present derive from ocean steam-navigation, are insignificant when compared to those that “are yet to come. Ocean steam-nayigation is yet to pene- trate the China seas, and make the millions of inhabitants of the great East our near neighbors. The waters of the Pacific have ere long, to bear on their bosom the marine engine and the stately and majestic steamship, laden with the productions of Asia. The marts of trade in America are ere long to be frequented with the long-queued Chinese, and the feople of Americaare to hobnob in the cafés of the fur- thermost town in India. If the United States will gain by this revolu- tion, so will the nations of Europe. Hitherto estranged from each other, and from the conti- nent of America, distance between them is, com- paratively speaking, annihilated. What was considered at one time an undertaking of the most serious and perilous kind—requiring prepa- ration for weeks and months before hand, is now reduced to an excursion, rather to be coveted than dreaded by their inhabitants. Europeans have become acquainted with the republican people of America, who tried and successfully carried out a magnificent experi- ment in the government of man. They are carnot allow a vessel, having so much claim to elegance as the West Point, to leave our poit without some notice. She belongs to Robert Kermit’s liné of Liverpool packets, and will take her departure on her first voyage this morning, with an immense freight list, and a fair pro- portion of passengers. The West Point was built by Messrs. Wester- veltand Mackay, of the very best materials, strongly fastened with copper, iron, and tree nails; and in point of strength, convenience, and beauty of model, cannot be surpassed by any of our packets. The arrangements of her cabins, | particularly for the second class passengers, are excellent. The only vessel that can compare with her, in this respect, isthe new ship Isaac Wright. The main cabin is chaste and elegantly | decorated, furnished with the most expensive polished mahogany, and varied with white enamel work. ‘he furniture is rich, and well arranged. Her state rooms are very large and airy. The improvements throughout this noble ves- sel are very numerous, and show that they were suggested by experience, taste, and judgment. She measures 1100 tons burthen, 170 feet in length, and is 37 feet,6 inches in breadth, and carries a finely mouided full length figure of Gen. Washington. Capt. W. H. Allen, her commander, was for- merly and for many years, the gentlemanly and highly esteemed captain of the packet ship Vir- ginian. He has deservedly the reputation of being a good sailor, and is in every respect quali- fied to render his beautiful vessel successful. Tus Rumorep Movement To San Luts Po- ‘rost.—People in the South, as well as here, are continually talking of Gen. Taylor’s intended movement on San Luis Potosi, and saying that he is only waiting for reinforcements to reach him to march to that place. Our telegraphic agents, too, are of the same opinion, and avail themselves of the wires to remit these rumors to the press. We have yet to learn that it is Gen Taylor’s intention to move from where he is. We do know that no such movement is contemplated by the Government, or even by the old general himself. On the contrary, Gen. Taylor’s orders are peremptory for him to remain where he is, and not stir until the effect of Gen. Scott’s ope- rations are known. A large portion of his forces was taken from him because it was considered unnecessary for him to be active while Scott was on hia way to the capital. When the city of Mexico is in our possession, and in case peace do not follow its reduction, Gen. Taylor may be directed to move from where he now is, but not until then. Muurtary Conrosition.—We have been fa- vored, by a gentleman of this city,with the copy of a letter written by Gen. Scott to the Hon. Millard Filmore. It issaid to be authentic ; it is annexed :— Heavquaatens or THE ARMY. My Drax Sin:— zi 1 have reevived the two letters (one from; the Rev. Mr Angier, and the other signed by Mr. Van ‘Wyck,) ask- ing, on several grounds, the discharge of James Thomp- son, a private of the second Regiment of Artillery.— 1st—He has, since his enlistment, reformed his habits. ‘Vhis is an argument in favor of his serving out his time lest ho should relapse, if discharged, before confirmed in his reformation—military discipline highly favors refor- mation, 2d.—He has become pious. ‘This makes him at onoe # better soldier and a better man, gud fortunately wo ure not without many pious officers and men in our ranks; but 8d—it is alleged that he has imbibed con- scientious scruples against performing military duty.— If the man be mad he can be discharged on a surgeon’s certificate to that effect—but if he has only turn ard, we have ample means of punishing him if he shoul when ordered, refuse to fight. I return the letters you enclosed, and remain, my dear sir, with great esteem, yours truly, 4 4 WINFIELD SCOFT. Hon. M. Fivmors. It is almost unnecessary to offer any comment en this letter; it speaks for itself. It is equal in point to the famous military order of the battle of Cerro Gordo. Serious CoLiision on tHE Sounp.—We give the particulars of a{collision, yesterday morn- ing, of the Bay State and Orina, in the ship news column of the Herald. It was an una- voidable accident, and occurred in the midst of drawn into close connexion with a nation of free and independent sovereigns, who glory and de- tight in a government of their own making, and which they can alter or amend without the inter- vention of hireling soldiery, or the danger of revolution and disaster. The contact cannot but be advantageous to the people of Europe— they will to a certain extent share in the bene- fits conferred upon ourselves by American insti- tutions and pelitics. In order to hasten this agreeable state of things, the New York Herald has determined to use what little influence it may have, by giving in every number of the Herald for Europe which will be conveyed to the continent of Europe by the French steamships, American line, of which the Washington is one; and by the Prussian line, which are about to be built, and which are in- tended to ply between New York and Gluckstadt, a summary of American news in the French lan- guage, from the sailing of one veasel to that of another. Ia this way the minds of the people of both hemispheres will be brought into direct con- tact, and they will converse with each other in their own peculiar vernacular. That this enter- prise wii! confer vast benefits on the people of the two continents there can be no question, and as we are determined upon doing our part of the work, we begin this new piece of news- paper enterprise in the Herald for Europe, which we shall send by the French steamship Philadel- phia, to sail on Sunday morning The world hae recently entered upon anew stage of existence. The theories and fallacies of past ages have to disappear before the influ- ence of practical knowledge, and the‘man is liv- ing who will see mighty revolutions in the old world, brought about by the influence of Amer- iean institutions. The power of the press is with- out limit~so is that of steam. Neither of them has yet reaehed the culminating point of its in- fluence—when they shall, the great declaration that all men are created free and equal will be the political creed of all men, of all nations, of all tongues. SewrraGe ~‘ine Devays 1v Tur Work.—We are delighted to see evidence of a desire on the part of our Common Council-to build sewers and drains to carry off the dirt and filth which must necessarily accumulate in a city so large as ours. Nothia wijl oonduce more to the general health, v 1t we would put it to the membérs and to the co .tractore, if it would not be more satis- factory to the public that the work should be car- ried on with a little more alacrity than it is.— Maiden lane, Fulton and John streets, three of the principal thoroughfares in the business part of the city, have been blocked up some weeks past; and unless they be speedily made passable for carts and wagons, great’ and irreparable in- jury will be inflicted on innumerable merchants and storekeepers. We would also suggest to them the policy of Not tearing up one street until the drain of another is finished, for, as in the case of the lower part of the city at present, great injury is inflicted on people of business. Tne fall trade isnow com- meneing, and merchants are prevented from hav- ing access by carts to the boats and shipping, causing much inconvenience and no small amount of actual loss. To the contractors, we suggest the propriety of hurrying as much as possible. Surely they can get on with the work ‘on hand much faster than they do. We think it would be advisable in future con- tracts, to make the parties stipulate to finish their work in the shortest time possible. a dense fog. Medical Intelligence, It will be gratifying to the friends of the University of New York, and the medical profession generdlly, to learn that Dr. Samuel Henry Dickson, of Charleston, South Carolina, has been appointed to the Professorship of ‘Theory and Practice of Medicine, vacant by the death of Dr. Revere. Dr. Dickson has held the same professor- ship for twenty-five years in the Medical College of South Carolina, one of the largest and most respectable institutions of our country, of which he was the founder. He is the author of a highly esteemed treatise on the practice of medicine, and bears # general reputation in his profession as a brilliant and successful lecturer, and physician of extensive experience. Sporting intelligence: Boat Racr.—Tho announcement of the boat race at the Thatched Cottage, Jersey city, yesterday afternoon, drew a large ettendance at that place, to witness the performances of the respectiv: oarsmen, Stephen Roberts and ——~ Snedicor, in a match for $100; the former to row the seventeen feet working boat Franeis D. Bigelow, and the latter the boat Liberty, of the same di- mensions, round @ stake boat achored about a mile below Bedlow’s Island, and bank to the Cottage dock.— Roberts was the favorite at two to one. But very little business was done among “the business men,” even at that odds, the universally acknowledged skill andendurance of Roberts, which haye been proved in his “nage successful contests with the best oarsmen in the country, keeping the ‘kets of his opponents tightly buttoned. They very evenly at the word, accompanied by an escort of thirty or forty boats of all dereriptions; Snedicor pulling as if his life depended on the lead, while Roberts went off with a strong, leisurely stroke, which manifestly denoted the confidence he iad in his own ability and the light opinion he had of his ad- versary. After going about two miles, Roberts drew away from Snedicor, who soon after finding his chances out, gave np the race, and made the best of his way for the’ East river. Roberts continued on at about the speed with which ho started, turned the stake boat and came to the ning point in forty five minutes, ap parently as fresh as when he started. The distance rowed is supposed to be about weven miles, and the time in which it hag a= pwn is considered very good. Mr. Roberts has, by this race, adde1 another sprig to his heretofore well and hard-earned laurels. Carxvonta Sraincs, Racks,—Finst Day, Aug, 3.—Ot- tawa Purse—£60.—Entrance £5.

Apanvorment or 4 Cxitn.—Mra, Van Cott, the wi- dow woman who preferred a charge some time since agalnsta certuin member of the Legislature, of being the father of her child, was arrested on Wednesday by officer McCormick, on complaint of @ Mra. Davis, charg- ed with abandoning her illegitimate offspring. From the evidence, it appeared that Mrs. Van Cott had placed the child in the care of Mrs. Davis, and agreed to pay her a stipulpted sum per week for its support; but not not being able to fasten the paternity of the child upon the aforesaid gentlemen; and being consideratfy in ar- rears to Mrs. Davis, she oame to the conclusion that it would be better to PB anys up her duds and be off; in doing which Mrs. Davis surprised her. She then stated that the child did not belong that the father would oall for it in » xy for its maintenance, and take it did not believe this statement, but lodged @ complaint against her. On ex- amination of the case, the lee a committed her to jail, in default of procuring bail for $600 Camr Meeting at Fansunapate.—There is an im- mense comoourse of people asmembied gt the camp meet- ing frond at Farmingds the Uentenery charch ‘been prohibited from at- tending. Anextra train went on yesterday, loaded with ngers. The weather has been rather unfavorable for camp meetings, but that will not interfere with the religious ceremonies. The stii and bustle all over the island is equal to that on a race day. Assauttine His Wirs.—A man named Peter McAvoy, was fA vy for asawult his wife.and threat- ening, sword in hand, to rup pong ee the body — The identical sword was produced in Court by the com- plainant. He was held to bail to keep the peace. Conpition or tHe Staeets.—It is really a nen pd e walk up Fulton street, and see the o streets and side walks, thanks to the bountiful supply of had, and not to our city fathers, who seem whether the streets are clean or not. Tae Pacuet Sir Waet Porvr.=We | athough the members of Panu Titeatas.—There was euch an audience at the Park last evening, as was in itself a perfect triamph for the prima donna in the opera which was to afford enter- tainment for the assemblage; and nobly were the mises of her friends fulfilled, and full well were hopes realized. Medame Bishop by her in “ La Somnambula”? seemed to complete ‘and seal the triumph which she had Siepey sahienes. Fy cree Cees of the music itself, w given in the melting which Madame B. can so clothe them with, all had a tendency to audience. All were ent and once: ing the performance was the prima donna to receive the warm testimonials of had won, and at the conclusion after twi peating the finale, she was called out, and the house was made to ring with the plaudits while bouquets were tossed from all sides upon the stage. Wecannot complain so much of the man- ner in which Madame B. is sustained in this opera, as we had occasion to in the case ef “Linda.” In“ La Som- nawbula,” the choruses are well gotten up, and the short comings of the tenore and bass are not £0 Gleringly a] parent. Last night, Mr. Frazer’s aria of “ Still so gently o’er me stealing,” was encored. In short, the piece was well put upon stage, well performed, well ized, well received, and so all’s well——no, stop ; is one little fault to mention : Mr. Frazer might as well have omitted, in his dialogue with Chapman in the first act, the phrase about his “ anxious mother ;” and Mr. Chap- man might, with great propriety, have omitted saying “ She kno out.’? ‘ecan see no reason why & low comedy per should be thus byy moretoed We never could see propriety of such improvement upon authors; but if they are ever admissible, surely the come in with ef and did not, by an: means, have the effect te materially mar the piece ; an we con prone in advance that rig ted the faces thet adorned the house last ev: will be again visible at the some pies on Saturday ght, when “La comnam- bula’’ will be given again. To-night we are to have “ Linda,” and a concert of seven pieces of vocal and in- strumental music. Bowery Turatae.—This evening ia the last but one of Julia Turnbull’s engagement, and to-morrow evening is set apart for her benefit—two facts that the admirers of that talented young lady and the patrons of the Bowery must bear in mind and act accordingly. The bill at this theatre this evening commenses with the nautical drama “Inchcape Bell ; or, the Recluse and the Rover,” which will be followed by “Buy-It-Dear, ’Tis Made ef Cashmere,” and ending with the drama “The Idiot ofthe Heath.” It is unnecessary to praise it, for the pieces are too well known to require it, and so are the actors who will appear in them. Miss Turnbull’s benefit to-morrow evening will bea grand affair. Miss Taylor and Mr. Clarke will appear. They, with the ex- cellent actors and Mivs Julia's own charms, will combine to make to-morrow evening one of the most brilliant of the season. Mrs. Shaw is engaged and will appear on Monday next. CuatHam Tueatae.—There was another very great audience at the Chatham theatre, last evening, and the performances elicited asmuch applause as they conferred pleasure on all who had the good fortune to witnes# them. In common with the rest of the community, we regret that the company which has been performing here for some evenings t_will not remain here after this week, as we learn that they are under engagements to appear in Boston very soon. There is an admirable bill oued for to-night, consisting of # ridiculously rich burlesque on 20 and Juliet, entitled “Romeo and Guiletta,” in which Mr. Brougham will figure as Romeo. We can safely promise all who go to seo it, a hearty laugh. The comedy of * My Grandfather’s Will, or the Baronet in the Steam,” and the comedy of the “Cork Leg, or the Lady of Munster,” will also be performed. In the last mentioned piece, Mr. and Mrs, Brougham will both appear. Casttx Ganven.—This evening the performances commence with the overture,“ La Dame Blanche,” after whioh the oomic opera of “Brother and Sister,” in which Walcot plays Pacheco, and Miss Clarke, Rosan- the. The Misses Wells will dance a Pas de Deux, and the amusements will conclude with the vaudeville of “The widow's Victim’ Mr. Walcot will, during the piece, give imitations of several distinguished actors. If this company draw such fall houses, at present. what a rush there will be next week, to see the Lehman Family. ‘Tue Boweay AmpuitHeatne will open for the season on the 13th of September, under the management of John Tryon. Musical. Mixearva Rooms.—The original’ Virginia Serenaders commence a series of concerts at the abovo rooms on Monday evening next. They have been playing at the Chesnut street theatre, Philadelphia, to crowded and fashionable audiences. Madame Ablamowics is to give concerts in Cincinnati im October next. Mrs. Watson the well known vocalist, accompanied ‘and aselsted by her son, is giving concerts in Syracuse. City Intelligence. Tux Weatunn.—We had a heavy shower of rain yes- terday morning about 10 v’clock, ‘and again wo were visited at 2 o’clook with a real ‘‘stiffner.”’ The rain came down in torrents. Towards evening the atmo- spere cleared off, and the air was cool and agreeable. Finxe.—A fire occurred yesterday morning at the corner of Avenue C and 10th street, in a barber's shop kept by John Ryer, who was severely burned. The fire was oc- oasioned by the bursting ofa camphine lamp. The fire was put out by policeman Mallory. Damage trifling. Tue French Steamer Paiaverenis.-—This fine steamship was thrown open yesterday to a large com- pany of gentlemen, who inspected and admired her very much, She was in capital order; the dining saloon was elegantly decorated; and the tables covered profusely with the rarities of the season, prepared by the vate! or careme of the steamer. To-day the Mayor and his fam- ily are invited to visit the ship. Tanoer Excussiox.—The second company National Cadets, made their annual target excursion, yesterday, to Port Richmond. They made 4 fine appearance, and under the command of their manly Captain, M. E. Crasto, and headed by Din, ass band, marched from No, 198 Bowery to Pier No. 1 North river, where they embarked on bosrdfthe steamer “Huguenot,” and after enjoying themselves, and doing some execution, re- turned in the evening. The Cadets are a fine looking * Junx.—What news from Mexico? ital? Has Have you seen the Chinese e questions daily and hourly put to friends arriving from the country, and befvre time enough to answer one has ¢l enquirer is on his way to Castle Garden, to see the strange vessel which hé hag heard and read so much about. Many people are incredulons in respect to the authenticity of the Junk, because it has been stated that a gentleman connected with a vessel of the kind, has gone to England to make preparations for the exhibition ofa similar vessel. We can tell al] such, that the Key- ing. the Junk now !m our harbor, is the vessel for whose exhibition in England, the gentleman in question is making arrangements, and that he loft her at St. Helena for the purpose. A Praisewontny Act.—A small boy by the name of ‘Theodore Williams, endeavored te jump on board of the Fulton Ferry boat just as she was leaving the dock yes- terday morning. and falling short of his jamp, struck his face against the e of the boat, and fell into the river, No sooner was the accident known than one of thedeck hands, Phillip Albright, immediately jumped iu after him, and succeeded in 4 most courageous man- ner in rescuing the poor boy from a watery grave. Tur Case or Mantin Hane.—Martin Hare, the in- dividual who stands charged with the seduction of Mary Fox, a young girl of only 14 years of age, was to have been examined yesterday, bat, owing to some unforseen circumstance, it was further postponed. We under- stand, however, that the case will finally terminate, by a writ being seryed upon Hare, at the suit of Mr. Fox, the father of Mary, who will lay bis damages at $50,000 for this outrageous sedyction ; and, as the case is one of an aggravated character, no doybt the Judge will hold the accused to ball in some $10,0%, which amount of bail will, in all probability, be more than he can procure ; consequently, he will be placed in jail, in the oustody of the sheriff. The object appears to be not for gain or remuneration, but to inflict as much punishment as possible on a man who would be guilty of so vile an out- rage. As regards the criminal charge, that must fall to the ground, as it seems he has not committed any act by which he is amenable to the criminal law. Hare is still kept in close custody. Our Boston Finemen Acain.—We were visited yes- terday by another company of our excellent Boston lire- men—and the more we see aud meet them, the mere gratified we feel, in connection with our citizens in gene- ral, at the admirable demeanor, discipline, and fine ap- pearance of themen. Boston should feel proud of her sons any where, and of her firemen in particular. “Han- cook Company, No. 1,” from Charlestown, under Capt. D. 8. Tucker, arrived here, from Albany, yesterday eve. uing about five o'clock, in the “Alida,” and were accompanied by Flagg’s oelebrated Boston Brass Band. This excellent company have been on a pleasure excursion for the last few days, having left their home quarters on Monday. They arrived on Mon- day night at Albany, and were reorived by the different departments. A torch-light procession was soon got up. and they were escorted by Hook and Ladder Company, Ne. 2, whose guests they were on the oceasion, through the principal streets, and partook of an excellent supper from the company on invitation, They remained in Albany three days. They were also hoxpitubly enter. tained on Tuesday by Hook and Ladder com- pany, No. 1, and, socompanied by them, visited the Arsenal’ and’ Seminary, where they were entertained, having partaken of an excellent ccllation, and also a supper. On Wednesday they were invited by Eagle Co, No. 7 of Albany, to accompany them to the neighboring fails in the vicinity of Troy, where they were entertained, and partook of a ndid collation. On their return in the evening they were en- tertained, and enjoyed an excellent su at the Man- sion House jn Albany. On My iy ey ry. morning, they were escorted to the boat by del our citizens by the! yesterda: tions from the different fire. companies, and arrived in the above named boat at about 5 o'clock. On marching through Broadway to the North American Hotel, headed by their gentlemanly Ce and the Boston Brass Band, who did Qemselves infinite credit by their admisable performance, the entire body presented a fine avpearance. They put up at this hotel, and hav- ing brought their machine, bats were invited by No. 15 of this city, to place it under their charge, which they availed themselves of ‘This excellent company are a volunteer Ragen soy? and receive no pay for their ser- ices. They wear blue shirts and cross belts with the back. A more gentlemanly set of gen- @ have seldom had the pleasure to con- contemplate leaving here this even- en route for home. Deatn From Seastcunrss.—Coroner Walters yester- day beld an inquest on board of the ship Marion, upon the body of a woman named Philiipene Louis, a native of Germany, aged 55 years, who came to her death by debility, from s nee voyage, on board the before named vessel, in she came 6 ir from Ha- vre, and died as ingly.

Charge of Stealing a Wagen.—Officer Nozria, one of the chief’s aids, arrested yesterday e man called John Smith, ona bench warrant, wherein he stands charged with stealing a wagon valued at $50, the property of a Jew pediar. The wagon was found on the premises of the accused in 46th st. and Sth avenue. Committed in default of $500 bail. Charge of False Pretences.—Officer Gilbert F.

Green, on a warrant issued by Justice Osborne, whirein he stands charged with obtaining a gold lever watch, valued at $75, from Robert McAdam, No. 88 Cliff street, bape and frau- dulent representations. It appears that on the 6th of July last, the accused called upon McAdam, and asked him if he would sell his watch; to which McAdam re- plied, that if he did, he should want $75, it being of that value, The accused then stated that he would the watch and show it to # jeweller in Maiden lane, and re- turn with it again immediately, instead of which he has avoided an interview with McAdam ever since, and the complainant has alnce ascertained that the watch in question was taken by Green to Simpson’s in Chatham street, and pawned for $25. The magistrate held ,the accused to bail in the sum of $500 to answer the charge. Charge of Manslaughter—Capt. H. L. Kellogg, of the steamboat N a] red before the Court of Ses- sions yesterday, and entered into bonds of $5000, for his Fr cap eed at court for trial, he having been indicted by e grand jury, together with Hosea Birdsell. the en- gineer of the said boat, on a charge of manslaughter. Law Ini a Avo, 12—Surneme Covunt.—In Chambers-—Beforoe Judge Edwards.—In Re, Paul Bruni.—In our report of the cause of Bruni vs. Besson, tried in the Marine Court on Wednesday, we stated that Brun! was arrested mediately after the trial, under a warrant gran Justice Drinker, and locked up for the night. Hall, his counsel, procured a writ of habeas corpus from Judge Edwards carly this morning, and had him brought up atl o’clook P.M. The return of the keeper of the city prison was read, which stated that be was detained uy irtue of a warrant from Justice Drinker. The jus- tice’s warrant was then read,whioh stated that it was is- sued in pursuance of the act of Congress of 2d March, 1829, which authorised trates to issue their war- Paha for the apprehension of deserters from foreign ves- sel Mr. D. Fiexp, who was associated with Mr. Hall, con- tended that there was not enough on the face of the warrant to detain him. Mr. Sanprorp, the associate of Mr. Tillare, as counsel for the French Consul, contended thst there was sufl- cient on the face of the warrant, and moreover, that the judge should presume that the magistrate had acted pro- perly in granting it until the contrary was shown, and that the onus ot proof lay on the otrer side. Juvoe Eowanps was of the same opinion, and ad- journed further proceedings to this morning, to give 7 Hall and Field an opportunity of traversing the return. Discharged.—John MoGiberey, George deny, and Edward Canergn, were discharged from the U. 8. army on the ground of minority. Court or Genunat Sessions, August 12—Before Re- corder Scott and Aldermen Dodge and Meserole. John MoKeon, Esq. District Attorney.—Trial for Grand Larceny.—At the opening of court this morning, Cath- erine Fitzsimmons was called to trial on an indictment for grand larceny, in having, on the 8th of July last, sto- len from Thomas McC: the sum of $42.

To tHe Evitor or THE Youx Henarp— Sin—It very often happens that persons call at my office to inquire about the Patent Laws of France, and desire me to direct them to some one in Paris to whom they can trust their power of attorney for the purpose of taking patents. I would be obliged to you, sir, if you would make known through your estimable paper, that M. Gardis- sal has created in Paris a periodical called Le Brevet Invention, and a central agency, for the purpose— Ist, to give ‘advice to inventors before they apply for patents; 2d. to draw the application for patent, caveat, 0. ke. in France and other countries; 3d, to sell the patent rights or to form associations between capitalists and inventors; 4th, to dispose of the produce of invent- ors who speculate for themselves, and consumers to the patented invention; 6th, to take and to transmit to in- ventors all the useful information, either on cancelled tents or on patents in force; 7th, to advise inventors in all suits in relation to counterfeits. The agency of M. Gardissel, is established in Paris, No. 17 Boulevard st. Martin. From the knowledge I bave of the character and ability of this gentleman, I do not hesitate to recommend him to all persons having patents to take in France. I hope, sir, that this communication, being entirely for the interest of American inventors, you will be kind enough to insert in your paper. Respectfully, sir, your most ob’t serv’t, L,.

New Yoru, August 12, 1847, Dear Heratp :— Having read in your paper, » proposition relative to the jure of Tes} ive American, Eng- lish, and French trans-Atlantic steamers, that they should not each start from either continent on the same day, it was gratifying to me ta notice that the prefer- ence was given to the Cunard line. carrying as they do the mail; and under the supervision of the * Admi alty,” no’ alteration, deviation, or detention can be permitted. Their aoe) days of ure are reg gularly advertised, of their days of arrival the public are the best judges. My present desire is to correct an ap- parently erroneous impression that these periods of de- pata from Europe will be maintained and strictly ad- ered to. This is not the case. On the completion of the double line of steamers carrying Her Majesty’s mail, steamer will leave England every Saturday alternate- ly for Boston, via Halifax and New York. This is the correct statement as it now stands between the govern- ment and the contractors, and if this information is worth your notice, you are weloome to the same QED, ‘The Fo t Lee Boats. Epiror or New Yorx Heratp: Dear Sin -— Your readiness at all times, and your impartiality in all cases where the community are concerned, give me the liberty to say that Pat remarks in yesterday's Herald, relative to the Fort Lee boats, were unjust to roprietors and captains of said the past month dalty by the above lin that they started or left their mooring at the time ap- | We have to-dsy experienced the blessing of a little sun- ie ag ora few minu' fter, except when they have ad a strong tide to contend with.

Let us take a sail to Ward’ land, which is about three-quarters of a mile from the centre of the village, in ® south-easterly direc tion; at low water may be seen the remains of a bridge, erected by order of Washington, whem he crossed from Long to Manhattan Island. here—it was puilt for a ‘There is also a large factory cotton ent by ‘ing the last war, but is now used as a ital for the poor siok emigrants, Wending our way to the south-east end of the Island, we have fine view of Long alsind, Blackwell’s Island, and Astorie.

Our citizens, for about a year and a half, have been exerting their powers to prevent the ing of the Connecticut river st Middletown, some20 miles bulow this | city, and below the head of sloop navigation. A year since, the charter obtained from our Legislature to the “ air- line railroad” gave powers to.said corporatios the river, save 36 feet for a draw. This was passed by a majority of 36 in the House and 1 in the Senate. year, after afull and fair hearing of both sides of the uestion, and several days spent in its discussion in the louse, the bridge clause was stricken out, by « majority of 31—thus showing « change of equal to 67 votes in fa- Yor of its repeal in the House; but upon coming to the Senate they refused by 1 vote to concur with the House —and what is most singular, the Senators from three districts, as represented last year, voted in favor of the bridge, this year yoted against It; and three districts whose Sensiors, last year voted against the bridge, this year voted for it! Te action of these two houses shows, that that bridge clause in the air-line obarter is far from being founded ona rock! The citizens of Hartford are determined to leave no honorable effort untried to pre- e the heavenly gift of an unobstructed navigation the noble Connecticut. This is their right and their duty—for the scriptures tell us that he who will not pro vide for his own household is worse than an infidel. Our city has; given, the corporators notice of another application already pending for the bridge clause at the May, 1848, session of the Legislature. lartford has been racked to and fro, as by a mighty voleano, the past month, in regard to building a sewer 2000 feet in length, from Kinggley street to the river, kc., to cost about .

They have been led on by the moneyed men from one ignus fatuus to un: other, until they have been fairly squatted down into Kingeley street, where their olfactories have soon con- vinced them that they were not any longer on a false soent.

Although it is not exactly the “stated preaching of the gospel, as exhibited in the life of Butler at Sandy Hill, and sinoe his emigration there- from, but a reguler Cerro Gordo and Bare Vista bat- tle between # couple of Dootors of Divinity in the Pres. byterian church, the history of it will be interesting to all your readers. Several months since, Dr. B., of this city, read before convocation of ministers a couple of sermons he had preached to his people from Eph. 6 0.4 v.— Bring them up in the nurture and admonition af the Lord’’—upon “Christian nurture,” maintaining that if you “ train up a child in the way ‘he should go, when he becomes old, he will not depart from it.”” ‘They requested their publi. cation. He contends therein that childgen ought to be | trained up as Christians—in the Lord’s way of educa- tion. ‘The child should not grow up, as is commonly as- sumed, to be converted after he comes to s mature age, but that he should open on the world as one that is spi: ritually renewed. It is conceivable that # regenerate charecter may exist long before it is fully and formally developed He lectures parents in forsaking the good ald ways of training up children—and says the proaent age of Christians holds a piety of conquest rather than of love—a kind of public piety that ia strenuous and flery on great occasions, but wants the beauty of holiness, loveliness, purity, Gomesticity, a8 compared with other examples of piety in former times. He holds to the na- tural depravity of man, but condemns the baleful impli- cation given children that they are to reject God and all holy principle till they come to mature age; and inquires wherein would it be less incongruous for you to teach your child that he is to lie and steal, and go the whole round of the vices, and then, after he comes to mature age, reform his conduct by the rules of virtue? God’s mercy does not gather a! flock away fram the lambe Ch ist said, in regard to children, “forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” He shows those plouspeople whe have euch ungodly children, the reasons. fe saye We preach too much, and love Christ too little. Henoe the present state of religion in ourcountry. We have worked a vein until it is rua out. No nation can jong thrive by @ spirit of conquest ; no more can a church, Let us try if we may not train up our children in the way that they should go. But your limits will not allow a full synopsis of the book. I have, however, given it as full as ’supposed you would be willing to publish, because the Massachusetts Sabbath School Society, who solicited a copy thereof for publication, and who have prefixed toit, “ Approved by the Committee of Publica. tion,” have suppressed ita further sale, because «few individuals have raised the cry of heresy against it. Soon after its suppression, Dr. T., President of a semi- nary, located 8 miles north east from this city, and whieh sends forth some eight or ton ministers annually, and is, par excellence, the grand organ of the old school theologians, sent forth from the press a letter to Dr B., upon @ little book written by him, entitled Discour. ses upon Christian Nurture. It is ‘s pamphlet of 22 pages, and as it is for sale at the bookstores, your readers who desire vo sve its contenta can get one for a shilling It was written to show that Dr. B. had got off the theo- logleat track. ‘The past. week, however, Dr. B. appears with a fine type pamphlet of 43 pages, entitled An Argument for Discourses on Christian Nurture, addressed to the Pub- lishing Committee of the Massachusetts Sabbath School Society. Afters thorough perusal of it, 1 am satisfled that his censors will have to cave in; because he proves his sentiments heretofore advanced, to be the same as those hold by the church of the Apostolic quotes copiously from Neander, Ridgely, Mather, Hopkins, West, Dwight, sti Woods, to prove himself right. He takes the liberty of paying up sundry running gggounts, which have been gathering the past four or five years, against him in East Windsor, Beston,&e. He has made pretty, clean work of them, and balanced them effectual- ly. This pamphlet is sui generis, ali oves. No one can peruse it without edification, whether in or out of the pale of the church. He is jooked upon by many as @ reformer, and is to the New England churches what Pius 1X is now to the Catholic, what Ronge is to the German, and what Edwards was to the New Eng- land churches in the eighteenth century, rming them of their dead formalism and half way covenantism This discussion is now the main topic of conversation iu all circles in our city. | hope it will do them all good. as there is here plenty of room for improvement For a week past the day line between New York an ‘Boston, via this city, has had connection with the excr: ent steamboat Traveller, instead of that nice little“Hero” oookle shell.

A whig convention held at Doaaldsonville, La, on thy 2d inst., for the purpose of nominating a Congressional candidate for the 2d district, resulted in the selectivn of the Hon. B. G.
