‘The English Steamer at Vera Oruz. As might be expected, the escape of Paredes, our old enemy, into Mexico, has created consi- derable excitement in every part.of the United States, and been freely commented upon by the press. Several of the public journals we perceive hiave stated it to be the intention of the government, immediately, to rescind the order by which the British mail steamers have hitherto been sow- ed to enter the port of Vera Cruz. We sincere- ly hope it is so ; for put what face on the matter they may, they have been guilty of a gross act towards the United States—a poor return for the kindness our government extended to them. We really hope that our government will act decisively in this matter, and if they have not already done so, that they immediately teach those gentlemen that the United States are not to be trifled with by them or any other nation, There is no question that the captain was ac- quainted with Paredes, and well knew who he was when he conveyed him to Vera Cruz. The displaying of signals on her arrival could not have been done without his sanction—neither could the landing of Paredes be accomplished eo perfectly as it was without his co-operation. If our government act promptly in this matter, our British friends will learn a lesson that they will not soon forget. Affairs in Ireland—The Elections and Repeal among the Lrish. When the repeal of the union between England and Ireland was first agitated by the Agitator, he was pronounced a madman, and th® scheme the most ridiculous that ever was broached by an inmate of a lunatic asylum. The English press did not deign to notice it except in terms of con- tempt, and even by the Irish themselves it was not looked upon as feasible. From year to year, hewever, by dint of con- tinued agitation in public halls and in the open air, men’s minds were gradually brought to bear upon it, and to compare the advantages and dis- advantages that might accrue from it, until the year of the celebrated monster gatherings, at which it was no uncommon thing to see half a million of men in attendance, when it may be said to have taken a deep root among the people. At first it was confined to Catholics, and was looked upon by the Protestants as an attempt at Catholic ascendency, but one by one a great number of the most popular and influential Protestants gave in their adhesion to it, and the influence of their exam- ple carriéd with it thousands of those who were first, like their leaders, opposed to it. In that year it assumed so threatening an ap- pearance that Sir Robert Peel felt himself con- strained to interfere, although in violation of law, to stop it. The celebrated Clontarf meet- ing was suppressed by proclamation—O’Connell and other leading men were criminally prosecu- ted and sentenced to confinement, and repeal for a while was smothered, to break out afresh again with renewed vigor and strength. By and by, the repealers were released from their incar- ceration, and repeal gathered strength hourly. There is no question that the agitation of this subject caused considerable uneasiness to the ‘Tue Arproacuinc Exections.—We have y: to hear from the following States; the gene- ral elections in each are set down thus :— far as known — CONGRESSIONAL.

Lemoyne. musstoniert, _ iH Mathews == — Horvicuttura, Exmution.—The American Agricultural Association have now on exhibi- tion a rare collection of fruits, flowers, &c., at the Lyceum in Broadway, to which we direct the attention of the public. They will see there rare and beautiful plante, flowers and garden vegetables, such as are indi- genous as well as many that have been trans- planted from almost every country under the sun. We have no doubt that the patronage extended to the exhibition will be as liberal as that which attended the former exhibitions, and such as will encourage the members of the association to continue their efforts for the future. ‘These exhibitions are novel in New York, al- though not in the United States; for Boston, Philadelphia, and other cities, have them annually; and it remains with the public to decide whether they are willing that they should be repeated. We are well enough acquainted with the people of New York to justify us in say- ing, that in taste for all that is beautiful and re- fined they are not deficient, but possess it as much as those of Boston, or any other city in the world, and that it is only necessary to direct them to where they can enjoy it. The importance of these exhibitions cannot be overrated. They excite a spirit of competition that cannot fail of producing beneficial effects. They excite inquiry, research, and experiment, English ministry, and that they depended to be relieved from it by the death of O’Connell, with whom they hoped the subject would end. It was a dangerous thing to handle—to meddle with it at all would be like adding fuel to a fire. The English press were of the same mind. They, too, considered that it was kept alive by O’Con- nell’s influence alone, and when that influence was no longer felt, that it would die a natural death. Well, O'Connell did die, and what is the re- sult? Repeal, instead of being suppressed by the event, is more powerful than ever; although its supporters are split into parties, on questions of minor importance, yet they are all-pledged to the attainment of the same end, and are gaining ground faster than ever, as we learn by the Eng- lish papers; the same which formerly looked upon repeal as visionary, and more recently as being likely to end with the life of its originator and agitator. The elections as far as heard from have given them a powerful increase of members in Parlia- ment, and from all we can learn, the decease of O'Connell has not had the slightest effect in stop- ping the agitation of the question. We publish in another part of to-day’s paper an important article on this question,from the London Chroni- cle of the 13th of August, acknowledging that re- peal is more active than it ever was, and indulg- ing speculations on the best way of ‘turning men’s thoughts from political agitation.” We take the following from another English journal, the Londo. Standard :— * “The ‘ repeal’ feeling has made more progress in Ire- land within the last year than it has in any ten years since the commencement of the century, and made that progress chiefly amongst the Protestant gentry. We can assure our English readers that men who only two years ago would have considered the grave consideration of the subject as nothing less th .n treason, now canvass it freely as a mere question of expediency, and too gener- ally as an experiment which there would be no harm in venturing upon. They who have undergone this change of sentiment are indeed in err. r, but their error is a na- tural one, aud it isin vain to attempt to disabuse their minds of it. They have seen the iy, interests of their country sacrificed to the cupidity of British manu- facturers by the free-t. ade measures of 1946, and of twen- ty preceding years. ‘They have seen thousands and tens of thousands of their countrymen perishing from famine, while England would not permit them to borrow from strangers the means of saving the poor sufferers, and would not herself lend until the mischief was over, and would then lend only reluctantly, and, as to an im- portunate r, lending with a cumbrous apparat of guardianship that almost swallowed up the | Now, the fatelligent Irish gentry feel that if Ireland had & legislature of her own, she wight borrow upon the credit of her revenues to any necessary exte row from any lender, just as the Canadiai borrowing money in the United Statee for the completion of their railroads, and the Irish gentry feel, too, that if there is a real union there can be no borrowing orlend- ing between the United Kingdom and any of its divi- sions, because treasure of the whole is,in case of necessity. the treasure of each part, as the wants of each part are the wants of the whole. Ireland has, however, not only been treated as analion state in the question of the loan, but in Parliament and in the press her too modest claim as an alien but friendly state has been treated with an insolence of heartleasness and brutality sufficient to irritate the calmest tempers. It is, then, not unnatural that the Irish oer y Reig! to think that while» repeal of the Union would better their condition in some ts, it could hardly make it worse in any. The only hold, indeed, that England now bas upon Ire- land is the Protestant Church Establishment, and the fear ofthe domination of the Romanist priests; but let not the least danger be threatened to the Church, or the at- tempt made to connect the Romanist clergy with tho State, and the late Mr. O'Connell's vision ofa Parlis- ment in College Green will be realised with a full consent, nay, the zealous co-operation of 99 of 100 of the Protes- tant gentry and yeomanry of Ireland.” We have long known that repeal was making rapid progress among the Irish people, but it is clear that the English papers and people do not regard it as they did a few years since, as amere chimera. The fact is, the union between those countries was one in name and not in fact. When its repeal was agitated many kept aloot from it, who are now its strongest friends. The whole nation are nearly unanimous for an inde- pendent Parliament of their own. When a nation becomes unanimous for a change, it will certainly obtain it. Such is now the condition of Ireland, and the Efglish are aware of it. Ireland will, before long, act a conspicuous part on the world’s stage. Later From Brazit.—We have files of the Journal du Commercio, published at Rio Janeiro, to the 30th of July. They were brought by the schooner Midas, Captain Johnson, which ar- rived last night. Mr. Wise, the U.S. Minister, would leave shortly in the U. 8. frigate Colum- bia, for the United States. The President has recognized Charles iman, Consul of Hanover, for Pittsburg, in the State Bol of Pennsylvenig the results of which are felt by every one. The present exhibition, which, by the way, will not last longer than to-day, contains the im- provements that have been made in horticulture for the past year, and each of the exhibitors has entered the field with the full expectation of car- rying off the palm in his line. Competent judges have been appointed to decide on the merits of their respective productions ; but it is to the de- cision of the visiters that they ultimately look for a return for their time, labor, and expense. Intercourse with Curna.---The splendid new ship Samuel Russell, having her full complement of passengers, and all other arrangements com- pleted, leaves this morning on her first voyage to China. Among the passengers we notice W. D. Lewis of Philadelphia, Mr. and Mrs. Cohuson, and Mr. and Mrs. Jones, who go out as mission- aries to the East. This ship, as we have before remarked, is original in her model; she 18 unique and beauti- ful, and for the interest all classes have taken in her since her appearance at the wharf, renders her departure one of no ordinary occurrence, for with her goes the latest and most successful crea- tion of American genius in naval architecture. Messrs. A. A. Law & Brothers are her agents and part owners. She will run regularly be- tween this port and Canton, in connection with the clipper ship Houqua, which vessel also be- longs to the Messrs. Law and others. AxrivaL or U.S. Fricate Savannan.—The frigate Savannah, William Mervine, Esq., com- manding, arrived last night from Rio Janeiro, after a very quick passage of thirty-nine days. A list of her officers, with an account of her voyage, will be found in the annexed letter from an officer on board :— U. 8.

She was the flag ship of Commo- dore Sloat on his taking Monterey, California, and has taken an active part in the operations on that coast.— She left Francisco on the 27th Feb, Monterey 18th Merch, St. Diego 26th March, Valparaiso 30th May, and Rio Janeiro 28th July, 1847, and is directly from the latter port.

Very respectfully, & * On board when the Savannah sailed from New York. On Friday a fire broke out in the oil store of J. B. Har- die, in St. John street, Quebec, which consumed six houses, ‘The persons burned out were Mr. Mehan, dry goods dealer; Mr, McDonald, shoemaker ; Widow In- glis; Mr. Lourios, dry goods desler ; Mr, Grant, Mr. 8. Cornell. painter ; Mr Scott, tailor, and Miss Booth — Agnong the owners of the buildings were Mr. Massue and Mrs. Drolet, Mr, Massue’s house was insured for £2000, ‘and Mr. Laurie had £0000 on bis Hock, Theatrical and Musical. Panu Tuearac.—Mr. Forrest sppeared at the Park last evening in the character of “Macbeth.” There was good house, and the play went off well. Mrs. Jones as Lady Macbeth acquitted herself handsomely ; this part pequires good acting as well as correct reading, and Mrs. J. showed by the manner in which she performed it, that she has studied stage effect with care. Asto Mr, For- rest’s performance of the part assumed by him, it was well received by the audience, and if they were pleased, why then s great point was of course gained ; but to our mind, the performance exhibited asort of strife be- tween the actor and theorator, in which the former trespassed muterially upon the legitimate ground of the latter. No gesticulation, no force of motion, no power of yoice can make up for # want of cor- rect emphasis and agreeable articulation. To make a paseago indicate earnestness, it is not necessary to how! it in the ear of the person addressed, while the eye stares and the fingers clench the palm, to swell by an unnatu- ral effort the veins of the neck and face; neither to make @ line impressive, is it necessary to prolong the final sound of vach word beyond all araotlons emg judicious length. Nor is it agreeable to many hearers to listen to the burried reading of a measure, where words are poured forth in such quick succession from the throat and mouth, that each one seems to tumble over its pre- decessor in its heat to escape. Any of these cullari. ties may ve admissable once ina while. A climax ma; be wrought up, produced, enasted, in any way, alm so that the climacteric effect is produced; but, in the name of eloquence, do not let us be fed on climax even in the play; for where we have these “ bold strokes” 80 oft repeated, we are at aloss to distinguish which is the point on which to bestow our admiration. We ureat 8 loss to kuow which is the apex of the oratorical p: id and the mind tires with Kept too long on the ten- ter of expectation. The intensity of feeling which makes ® man almost choke while he sighs, and gurgle while he eanpe only of occasional occurrence, and may, if pro- pew ly delineated, produce a capital effect; but if thisde- lineation be produced and re-produced again and again in the same scene, the repetition, by losing the in duality, loses the effect of the action. And this fault of repetition is observable in almost all of Mr. Forrest's points—the abandonment to agony, most happily delin- eated by dropping the head forward no that the chin reats ‘upon the breast—the intensity ofanguish illustrated as tne palm of the hand upon the back part of the ead; the act of regained self-possssion,in which the erect posture is suddenly resumed; ail of which produce a good, effect, when judiciously introduced, but are partially lost and sometimes worse than lost by reproduction. ‘I'nat Mr. Forrest has been a laborious student, no one can doubt; but that he has always studied to advantage. all must question who admire the harmonies and beautitul combinations of correct dramatic reading and acting: tohave “ The Gladiator,” in which Mr. Fosetaphear se ‘Spartacus, the Thracian. Thue is the foot night of ‘Mr. Forrest’s engagement. His benefit is to take place to-morrow evening. Cuaruam Tneatre.—Such of our citizens as have seen Miss Clarke and Mr. Walcot in the comedy of the “ Follies of @ Night,” and the drama of ‘‘ Charles the Twelfth,” will be pleased to learn that these two pieces will be repeated at the Chatham Theatre this evening. ‘We need not say that a» pleasant evening’s amusement isin store for them. The cast in both of these pieces is very good, and we are sure they will be played in a credi- table and satisfactory manner. The laughable farce of 4 Lord Seorets” will conclude the evening's amuse- ments. Castix Garpex.—There was no performance last evening on account of the illness of Signorina Tedesco, which sudden attack has deranged all the projects of the opera which had been made for this week. We un- derstand that this lady, /a bien aimée of the public, is re- covering, and will be able to re-appear to-morrow even- ing in the announced opera of Bellini, “Romeo and Ju- liet.”” We hope we 8! not be disappointed. This even- ing Signora Kainieri, Perelli, Vita, and Battaglini, will appear in the celebrated opera of Verdi, “The Two Foscari,” which is always received with applause. Patmo’s Orrna House—Tur Ravets.—At the benefit of Gabriel, we witnessed, last evening, the most crowded house we have yet seen at thistheatre. Thebeneficiaire performed @ vaudeville nearly alone im the English lan- guage, and pronounced it so well that he delighted his hearers. He appeared to perfection as dancer, as a ma- gician, and also as a comedian. The farce of the “ Three Faced’ Frenchman” is very funny. ‘The other part of the entertainment went off in a very good style; tho rope dancing and the pantomime of “ Vol-au-Vent” were played, a6 usual, tres bien. The Ravel family have another excellent bill for this evening; the performances will begin with the musical piece called the “ Loan of a Lover.” After which, the Rayels will exhibit their celebrated “Classic Groupings, Glympses of the Vatican,” &c. Mad. L. Javelli and Mr. Wells will execute a pas de deux from “ Nathalie,” which will be followed by the exercises on the tight rope, and the whole will conclude with the comico pantomime of en- chantment, entitled the * Magic Trumpet, or the Invi: ble Harlequin,” with transformations and fireworks, in which Gabriel Ravel and his brother Autoine are #0 ¢ cellent. There will be certainly another crowded hous at Palmo’s this evening. Vincinia Minetneis.—As usual, the Virginia Min- strela have provided a rare entertainment for their friends at the Minerva Rooms this evening. With the burlesque opera of ‘Stuffo,”” which has been so often re- coived with the loudest applause, and which has pro- vided so much amusement to the public, they will sing aa interminable quantity of nogro airs, adapted to the North as well as the South. Perper Orewa Tarours.—The Peedoes are a capital band of negro minstrels, and deserve to, as we have no doubt they will, succeed in New York. Although they are the Inst in the field, they receive a very flattering amount of patronsge. They will hold forth again this evening at the Apollo Rooms, Concent or tHe Frencn Brxevotrnt Societt.— This society will give a concert on the 20th inst., the profits of which are to be applied to the charitable cb- ject for which the society sustains its organization.— Henri Herz bas voluntecred his services for the occa- sion, and will play @ new composition of his own, said to be asplendid produetion, Wilhelm Battenhausven, first solo violin player nt the court theatre of Cassel, Germa- ny, will alvo lend his atd, which, where he is known, is highly vaiued. Besides, these instrumental performers, several ewinent vocalists have proffered their services, among whom is Signor Beneventano, of the Sanquirico Italian opera troupe. It is evidently intended to make this concert one which in its own merits shall be worthy of the cause for which it is given, Herz anv S1von1.—These accomplished musicians give a concert—the first and the last—in Troy this eve- ning, and one in Albany to-morrow evening. We doubt not they will draw large audiences, and their skill be properly appreciated by our Trojai lends. Tueataicats ix Boston.—A correspondent, writing from Boston, says—“We have five theatres in full blast, but the ‘Boston’ is visited by the élite and fashion of the city, and nightly the receipts have been more than all the others put together. On Thursday, the far-famed Lehman family commenced, and notwithstanding the high expectations report had spread of them, all was realized on the first night. Cheer upon cheer greeted their entire performance, and by one of the fullest |, houses that has been known for some seasons in this city. The grace and beauty with which M’lle Adelaide traverses the stage, and the ease and grace of her atti- tudes, for one £0 young, have met t e admiration of all, while the rest of the female department excel any that have as yet visited this city. As to Mr. Charles Winther, he is only to be seen to be appreciated, for he ia the most wonderful performer we ever s; Christian and Antoine Lehman, have few if any equals in this or any country; and last, not least, Monsr. Smidt stands pre-eminent, both as dancer and pantomimist. Take them all in all, they certainly are the best ballet corps in this country, and whatever city they visit they are bound to be the magnet of attraction.” General Tom Thumb performs in Princeton, N. J., to- day, in Trenton Friday and Saturday, passes through New York Sunday, and opens in a -house of his own building, at Saratoga Springs on Monday next. Mr. Booth, the celobrated tragsdian, was announced to play Richard III, at the Howard Athenwum, Bos- ton, on Tuesday evening. ‘The Ethiopian Serenaders are performing to crowded houses, nightly, at the Boston Melodeon. Madame Anne Bishop has, at the request of her mus!- cal friends, deferred her depirture trom Boston, and will give a concert at the Tremont ‘Temple, this evening. It is stated by the Boston papers, that the manager of the Havana Italian opera troupe, has engaged the Melo- deon.and has made arrangements to have a temporary stage erected, to give the Italian opera with the aid of scenery and appointments. The opera will probably open next week. Signor Blits is performing at the Lowell Museum. Mr. Joun Rannourx Cray.—This gentleman d to the United States in the steamer id is now with his family in Washington, Mr. Clay remained in Europe (with one interval) about sixteen years, He leit his native country a very young, man, and haa returned in fine health, with increased re- potation, 4n intellect improved by travel, and with his love of country increased and exalted by a comparison with the political institutions of Europe. John pega Clay is a native of Philadelphia. The citizens of Richmond had the ple-sure of seeing among them his accomplished father, then a member of Con- 98, in the spring of 1804, are visited that town for urpose of contributing his assistance and ex- fence to tho organization of the Bank of Vir- finn His on, John Randolph Clay, accompanied Mr. ohn Randolph to St. etersburgh, in 1829, as Secretar: of Legation, ud was a few weoks afterwards, le there by Mr. R. in charge of the mission, in which he (Mr. C.) continued for more than two years, He re- mained at the same court as secretary of egation to Mr. Buchanan, and afterwards to Mr, Wilkins, until 1638 or 1939, when he was transferred to Vienna. ‘There he re- mained aa Secretary of Legation to Messts. Muhlenberg and Jenifer, until 1845, when he was again rent to St. Petersburg, and had charge of the mission from the tii of the retirement of Mr, Todd to the arrival of Mr. I gorsoll, the present minister, He was last winter nomi- nated by the present administration, and confirmed, charge d'affaires to Lima, iu Peru, where ho is w out to roceed. We have no doubt that the talent and the iplomatic knowledge of My, Clay will soon remove an: little embarrassment which may have arisen in the re- lations between the two countries. Ile is expected to set out for his new destination, with his family, ina few days. (Hoe will probably land at Chagres, and then pro- ceed across the ithmus to Panawa, and thea to Lima.) Washington Union, 7th inet, Tue Sanvinian Man-or-wan Avnona.—This fine cor- vette, whose arrival we announced in yesterday's paper, is now anchored off the Battery, where she intends to remain for about six weeks, This corvette is a very pretty specimen of the royal Sardinian navy, and al- though she was in that disorder which is unavoidable after two months’ spent at sea, we remarked the elegance of her form, the cleanness of the deck and cabins, and the order which is observed by the Sardinian sailors and pupils, It was about dinner time when we visited the ship, and the twenty-five Fer were takin, their meal, having their table covered with white an clean linen, wy which we observed numerous excelient » Allt young men, who belong to the best families of their country, looked fresh and healthy, aud better atill, quite mers ae oytul. Each of them has ‘an uniform of a blue black cloth, covered witn gold em- broldery of a rich style; the Pants are of the samme blue, with @ lig stripe down them; also wear a cap adorned with gold lace. The Merquis de tpinola maintains very great discipline on board; and he is, as he told us, as well the captain of the crew, as a father to the youths who are under his command. We understood also, that the pane have to remain five years in the na- val school, and to be at sea cach year from four to five months, in order to unite the th with the practice. ‘This is a very good plan, which ought to be followed by all the naval schools of every oraaiey in the world.— ‘The Aurora left Genoa on the 10th of July, and went to Gibraltar, where she put in, and remained two days, and sailed for this port; making her way down to the tropics by way of the Bermuda Islands. When she ar- rived in our harbor (Tuesday morning), she fired with her eight cannons a salute of twenty-one guns, to which the battery of Governor’s Island respondedimmediately. The Aurora is, indeed, @ fine ship, and when she will be repainted, as they intend to do, she will be well worth a visit from all persons who wish to have an appercu ot what good discipline can perform. Tux Weatuer.—In the early part of tho day we had @ long and heavy shower of rain, which continued up to 2 o'clock. The streets were “as usuai” during rainy days, extremely filthy and disagreeable. The lit le street sweepers were busily engaged in sweeping the cross-ways, The thermometer stood at 12 o'clock, M., in Wall street, at76 degrees. At the same hour it stood at the North- ern Hotel, foot of Courtlandt street, at 71 degrees. New Carnonic Cuuren.—Bishop Hughes, yesterday e ing, at 5 o’clock, laid the foundation stone of a new German Catholic Church, to be built at the corner of Thompson and Canal sts. A vast concourse of persons of all persuasions were present onthe occasion. After laying the foundation stone in his full pontificals, at- tended by several of chaunted by Bishop H. de peer of the entire ceremony, e impressed w devoting ntirely to the higher and more solemn responsibilities, and owed a duty to his God, which he was bound to the sake of saving his own soul. Man was but the hu- man agent Ke the earth for the soul; and if it were not 80, the soul needed no agency to work out its salvation. After briefly explaining the object and na- ture of theentire ceremony, Bishop H. concluded by stating he was about to give way, in order to enable the German opie of the congregation, who were about erecting the church, to address them, and then retired. The reverend pastor of the congregation nereupon came forward and delivered a long address in his native tong! with apparent eloquence and effect, and which seemed to deeply interest his congregation. In the course of the delivery a large collection was taken up to defray the ex- penses, ke, Atthe conclusion, the entire formed into procession, Bishop Hughes leading, accompanied by Bi clergy and headed by an excellent band. The St. Jo! erlen Society followed, aggl were succeeded by the St. Joseph’s Society, bearing a banner with appropriate emblems, The whole moved up Canal street towards Broadway and the Cathedral, after which they dispersed, ‘The plot of ground re the church is to be erected is large and spacious, and it would be doing injustice to the many dissenters, &c., who were present not tonotice their orderly demeanor during the performance of the entire ceremony. ‘The liberal and truly, Catholic spirit in which Bishop Hughes addressed the vast concourse Papen oeeey in his full pontiticals—must have had ta proper effect upon the many present who dissented from his church, ‘1 his is as it should be. Boston Parens.—Our friend Mr. Cloyes, of the Spring- field and New Haven railroad, was on han in last evening with his very acceptable favor. Tre Cu x Sai.ons.—The Chinese sailors of the junk, indulge freely in smoking opium, as much 80 as many of our people do in drinking ardent liquors, Since their removal to the Sailors’ Home,we understand they have been as comfortable as they would wish, and enjoy themselves the whole day. The junk we under- stand will not leave here for a few days, in consequence of a libel having been filed against it.

Tur Consequences or a Ficut.—Coroner Walters esterday held an inquest upon the body of Timothy iely, @ native of Ireland, aged 31 years, who, according to the verdict of the jury, came to his death by drown- ing, by being knocked, or falling into the water, while engaged in a fight with'David Regan and William Dris- coll,on the wharf, at the foot of Dover street, on the evening of the 6th inst.,and that the said David Regan and William Driscoll should be held to answer for the death of the deceased, The Coroner therefore issued his warrant for the arrest of the accused parties. Svurcipr py tTaxisa Lavoanum.—Coroner Walters was called last evening to view the body of Thomas McCut- cheon, a popular comedian, who has been for a short time past engaged at the Chatham Theatre, and who was found dead in his room at the New England House in Rosevelt street, at about 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon ‘The deceased not having been seen about the house as usual during the day, his room door was forced open, when the facts of the case were made apparent. A phial labelled laudanum, poison, and a tumbler from which he had swallowed the fatal draught were found on the table near his bed side, No cause assigned for committing the rash act. ‘The deceased was a single man, about 35 years old, Dearn ny Exnavsti0n.—The Coroner held an inquest alco on the body of Johanna Galligin, a native of Ireland, aged 62 years, for some time a resident of 97 Broad st., who went out at an early hour on Tuesday evening, with the intention of belay absent for a brief pe- riod, Shortly after leaving the house, she was taken out of the Rast River, near pier No. 3, into which, as it is supposed, she accidentally fell, and thereby so extreme- ly exhausted, that she eurvived but about twenty mi- nutes. Verdict accordingly. Law Intelligence. Examination For ApmitTance To THe Bar.—Tho examination of candidates for admission to the barat the present general term of the Supreme Court, com- mencedon Monday afternoon, and closed late on Tues- day evening. The examiners were Charles Conor, H. B, Cowles, and William 8. Dodge, Esqrs., and they compelled the students to pass through the severest or- deal of the kind that has ever been known in this State. Under our new constitution the examination is required to embrace law and equity practice, and the statute and common law, admission being granted simultaneously to the three several branches of the profession, which heretofore have been kept distinct. The ceremony of examination at this term was also unusually imposing, being conducted in open Court by three of our ablest lawyers, in the presence of three judges of the Supreme Court. The applicants were twenty-three in number, of whom nine were rejected, and fourteon admitted. ‘The following is a copy of the order of the Court made reaterday :— mt Ata yéneral term of the Supreme Court, held at the City Hall, of the city of New York, on the 8th day of September, 1847: Present—Da iel Cady, Wm. T. Mo- Coun, Elisha P, Hurlbut, Eeqs., Justices; ordered that the following persons, to wil Henry P. Curtis, Vv ‘H, Edwards, Edwin R, Bogardus, John K. Brown Marcus L. Cobb, Jacob Col Martin McMartin, ‘Aaron H. Cragin, John Moody, Moses Sweezy, Charles N. Simmons, David E. Winslow, have been duly examined, and. found to possess the qualifeations required by the constitution for admis- sion to practise as attorneys, solicitors, and counsellors ia the Courts of this State, and that the Clerk enter this rule accordingly.” The cxainastion just terminated has justified the opinion generally entertained that, uccess to the profes- sion of the iaw would be more diffleult than under the old constitution. It is certain, at any rate, that the students admitted have displayed suflctent earning and ability to entitle them to the degrees they havo attain- ed. ‘Lhe bar of this Stateis, however, toomuch crowded already, and we think that their ouly chance of succers lies in the far West and South, Oregon, Nebraska, New Mexico, and California, are not yet stocked with lawyers, and there will certainly by plenty of openings for aspi- rants in those regions, The tide of emigration is rapid- ly extending, and jails and court houses will soon spring up, where now the wild Indian roams uumolested “ amia the forest and o'er the prairie.” Betts. ¢ Barque Chancellor, C.D. Mahew and T. Carnot, Ciaimants.—It will be remembered that the Chancellor was sent home from the coast of Africa last June, by Commander Pope, in charge of Livut.

She was shortly after libelled by the United ora hg ten ae be : subsequently put in jesers. ‘arnot, the former Calming to be owner of the bark, and the latter to be owner of the cargo. ‘The case was called on yesterday morning.

A.—I have not heard of a cargo been shipped from Cape Mount within the last two or three years, but J have heard of a slaver from Gallinaes being captured within that time; it was matter of general conversation; I have heard it from several persons; we returned from Port Frio, where we went to victual and take in water, in March’ 1847, to the coast of Africa, and in April fell in with the Chancellor on the coast, in latitude 4, and Lesenane 7 30; witness was sent on board to examine Q.—Did you make a careful examination?

A.—I do not recollect the number of casks, but I esti- mated the quantity of water to be about 25,000 gallons, ey Vhat quantity of rice? 1 think about 300 bags. The whole of the plank that was in her on my first examination, was not there when I examined her a second time ; some of it had been tent on shore, ‘There were about fifty bricks I think ; her rig had been altered between my first and seoond examination of her, She was changed from a bark to ‘ship, and was painted with ports instead of » white streak--the effect of the alteration was that she coula not be identified at a distance, but when once the hull was seen, she could easily be identified. The bowsprit was also painted from white to black. Q.—Suppose the Chancellor had been described Ly the ‘Dolphin to another cruizer, which bad not seen her, and was pointed out asa suspicious vessel to be watched, were the alterations in her rig and gation such as in your judgment would prevent her being identified by such other cruizer? ‘A.—Certainly no one would identify a ship as a bark.

Objected to, and admitted subject to objection. The papers were then put in and read, consisting of the ship- ping articles, bill of lading, manifest, log book, certified copy register, &c. ‘I'he shipping articles were read, by whieh it appeared that the name of Robert Gordon ap- peared as captain, which was afterwards erased and Captain Freeman’s name substituted. ‘The papers were all read, but contained nothing material. After the reading of the papers, the witness was cross-examined at length by Mr. Carpentier, pending which the court ad- journed.

She was then tuken to the Judge’s house in 8th street, and the subject was discussed up to 12 o’clock, when it wa: journed to 8 o'clock yesterday morning. The parties met ‘again at the appointed hour, and it was further discuss- ed until 10 o'clock, when the argument on both sides closed, and the Judge said he wouid decide at 5 o’clook yesterday afternoon. The District Attorney holds that, the Court of Sessions being nowsitting, that court alone can bail, and th: Recorder having rejected the bail, the question is n judicata; also that two sureties should be required. Judge Edmonds has decided that, as the Court of Gene- ral Sessions is sitting, he has no power to interfere. ‘Writ discharged. Count or Genenat Srssions.—Sept. 8.

On the part of the accused, evidence was adduced to prove that the property alleged to, have been stolen be- longed to Westlake, and%had been in his possession for.a considerable period prior to entering the employ of Ne. Brainard ; while it was also contended thatif it had been stolen by the accused, it had been taken at various times, at no time exceeding in amount $25; consequently could not be made a grand larceny. ‘The jury, after en absence of several hours, found the accused guilty of s petit isreeny. “Sentence deferred until Saturday morn- ing. 2 The calendar for this day is as follows :— John K.

In the Herald yesterday yur correspondent isin error respecting the action ot our Common Council in regard to city interments. Will you permit me to make the correction? Several weeks since a petition came before the Board, complaining of a certain burying ground, ax becoming somewhat of a nuisance, on account of the small depth of the interments, ‘I'but petition was refer- red to me, as the Physician of the Bosrd, for examina. tion and report. In the discharge of the duty, I inclu- ded in my examination several of the public grounds and in my report to the Common Council, | proposed the enactment of two ordinances, Ist to forbid any inter- ments in the sty Joas than four feet below the surface of the ground ; and 24, to prohibit, after a specified period, any interments within two miles of the City Hall This report was adopted, aud the law committee was required to present the ordinances conformable to the report. At their meeting on ‘I'uesday last, the committee reported the first ordinance, and it was passed; and in lieu of the recond, and most {mportant one, they stated that some lexislative action was necessary, and that the Conven- tion now in session for tho reorganization of the olty charter, would probably do what wae necessary. ‘These are the facts, and I submit to you whether courtesy was done me in the premises, and also whether the subject under consideration received from the committee that prompt and specitic action required of them by the Common Council and the community interested, CHAS. 8.

The fancies have the rout, Nearly every stock in the list fell off,and the prospect at present is that prices will go to a lower point than they started from. The two far vorite railroad fancies, Harlem and Norwich, declined 2 per cent. each ; Farmers’ Loan, %; Canton, 1; Read- ing, %; Stonington, X; Long Island, %. Treasury Notes advanced 4 per cent. It is now a good time for those who were holding for prices above the highest points touched, to look back and makea comparison with those now ruling, and see if it would not have been bet- ter to have realized at the time we so earnestly called upon them todoso. Prices for Harlem are now seven per cent. below the highest price, and Norwioh six per cent. below. At the second board, Norwich and Worcester fell off 6% per cent, Harlem 34. Long Island advanced %, Reading x. The-heavy fell in Norwich and Worcester is the best illustration of the result of cornering opera- tions generally. Within the past two days, there has been a decline in this tancy of ten per cent. Where are all the bulls in this stock? ‘The receiptsof the Western Railroad Company for tho last week amount to $33,242, being the largest week's work ever done on the road, and showing an increase of $7000 over the corresponding week last year. The Boston Courier says that the Directors of the East Boston Company have referred to a committes of five the expediency of declaring land dividend of wharf lota, amounting to three hundred thousand dollars, equal to fifteen dollars per share. It is maintained that these wharf lots will not come into competition with other lands now for sale in that section of the fourth ward but on the contrary, that by improving them for business purposes, for which they are in demand, and much want- ed, they will benefit the building lots in the neighbor- hood, and add much to the present value of the whole property. An application, within the week, bee been made to the directors for the purchase of four hundred running feet of the wharf section, for a ship yard, for which the price asked is sixty dollars per running foot. Nearly all the wharf property in Bostog, with this ex- tion, is now improved, and payiug large returns. ‘he recent cash valuation of the company’s Property, was met ats dollars per share ; the dividend off would leave thirty dollars, or about a cent per fout only, tor the remainder. Before long the marshes will be filled in, aud put intoa marketable shape. It will all be wanted for use- ful purposes within a few years, for Kast Boston is to be the great work shop of the city. ‘The annexed statement exhibits the value of merchan- dise exported from this port during the month of August, distinguishing the destination of shipments and the amount experted toeach country.
