SE The Dreadful Murder in Paris. We publish io this day's paper the circumstan ces aitending the drendful murder of the daugh- ter of the Marsh | Sebastiani by her hu-band, the Duke de Choisenl-Praslin,at the Hotel Sebastiani, recently, in Paris. ‘They are extremely painful, and will be read with interest. The article con- tiins the proceedings of the investigation to the last advices received from the French capital in England, und is copied fromthe London Times of the 3rd instant. ‘What wilt be done wiih Mexico t This is an important question in the present position of affairs. At the next Presidential election no important issues will be presented to the people for adjudi- cntion, except such as grow out of the Mexican war. The tariff will doubtless be let undis- turbed—it would be madness in the whigs to pro- nounce for a restoration of the tariff of 1842,— and the sub-treasury law will by that time be too firmly established to make its repeal a safe issue for its opponents. Acquisition or no acquisition, free territory or the Missouri compromise, will be the great questions to be settled, and from this circumstance, as well as from iis own intrinsic importance, the question, ‘‘ What shall we do with Mexico?” possesses at this time a grave and peculiar interest. The recent news affords no light by which to scan the dark recesses of the future. Santa An- na may make peace, but will the Mexican Con- gress ratify it? or if it be ratified by the Mexican Congress, will it be ratified by ours ?_ Even sup- posing a treaty ratified in all due form, it depends mainly on the people of Mexico to keep it. Are they so disposed? It is more than questionable. Buta treaty either will or will not be made. If it be made, our government will have nought to do but to withdraw the army within the territo- ry ceded, and maintain possession until the hos- tility which now burns in the breasts of the Mexican people, shall have died out.» The ex- pense uttending an armed occipation of the fron- tier will be trifling, compared to the advantages arising from the possession of the Californias, with their numerous and capacious harbors. If Mexico make war egain, it will be under every disadvantage, and with the unpleasant prospect of losing others ortionsof herdomain. The ter- ritory w> shall acquire,will be settled by a hardy race accustomed to hard knocks, and against whom all attempts at dispossession would be un- availing. But the negociations which had been entered upon at the last accounts, may terminate unfa- vorably. and we may be compelled to maintain absolute possession of the country for aseries of years. Ia such a case it isclear the duty of the govern- ment will be to seize and appropriate the reve- nues of the country, and to organize such a force as will crugh all opposition. From the mines, the monopolies, the rich haciendas, the imports, con- tributions might be exacted. Itis evident that a larger revenue than Mexico has ever been able to raise, might ve raised in this manner. It would be well to make the country supply our army with provisions and other necessaries in kind, but the officers are unwilling tocarry out this plan, and they deserve too well of their coun- try to be furced to perform any duty that may be disagreeable to them. A sufficient revenue, however, can be collected to maintain the army, and the appropriation of such revenue will serve the double purpose of strengthening our arms and weakening those of the enemy. In order that commerce might flow from the sea-const to the interior, it would be necessary io m. atain a strict blockade of all the coast where custom-houses are not established, and to raise the army to such a standard, that our military stations would be secure in their strength from all danger of attack, and the roads would be kept clear gf guerillas and other like annoyances. The failure of negociations for peace cannot prevent the capital from surrendering to our arms, and that point will be the limit of our offensive operations in that direction. It would be vain to reckon upon the disorganization of the Mexi- | ean army as proof that another army cannot be raised. After the affair of Cerro Gordo it was annihilated, and yet the capital has been defend- ed by a host of between twenty and thirty thou- sand men. While there are men and generals, and every tenth man in Mexico is a general, an army can be organized without much difficulty. But it is quite safe to predict that, after what has passed, no contingency can arise that will ren- | der the defeat of our arms by the Mexicans even remotely probable. Thus, the capital in our possession—the reve- nues in our possession—their coast blockaded— our army sale from attack—the wealthy classes burthened with taxes of which peace can alone relieve them—the enemy having no hope of the war being abandoned because of its pressure on our citizena—the Mexican church in the enjoy- ment of ite revenues, having perfect immunity for ite worship, and, therefore, without appre- hension of disturbance when peace shall have given usa portion of the territory, Mexico will have every inducement to seek for peace, while, if she still refuse, we shall be ina position to look upon her stubborness with comparative indifference, Such, in case negotiation fails, we have the best reason to believe, will be the course adopted and recommended to Congress for adoption, by this administration. But it is diffieult to ay how far our government may be able to carry out this policy. In order to defray the expense of maintaining an army in Mexico, it will be pe- ces sary to open up tse country to the commerce of all nations. Or citizens will have, of course, peculiar advantages, and it is need- less to say they will improve them. Should peace not be made for ten or fifteen years, how many of those who will settle down'in that rich and fertile country will be disposed to leave it 1 Mexico may still refusé to make peace, | And will edge be thus driven into th very heart of Rationality? Will not the leaven thus mi. t first imto independ- ence, and afterwai@e into annexation? Nothing can prevent it. tit will be for the interest of this country is extremely doubtful. The an- nexation of clear, uninhabited territory can be "productive of nought but good results. Qur por pulation will, by its increase and expansion, in time, require it. The possession of Oregon andCalifornia cannot but be, in the highest de- gree, advantageous; but they are comparatively unsettled, at the same time that the sparse popu- lation with which they are inhabited, consists in a great measure of emigrants from our midet.— Even the annexation of Canada, the people of which speak the same tongue, and have many things in common with us, while lit would be most beneficial to them, would scarcely be inju- rious to us. But Mexico has no sympathy with us ex- cept in her republican institutions, and even they are of a mongrel character. Her ab- sorption would at present injure us, and scarcely ameliorate her condition. She must eventually be ubsorbed, but the longer that event is delayed the better. But she may herself precipitate it, and we must, in that case, take her ‘ for better, for worse.” Notes m Abroad by Mrs. J. &. B. Lonpon, 25th August, 1847. My Dgar Mavam— I never trouble my head about politics, or poli- ticians, unless they are accomplished men, and can talk and think about something else beside dirty polities; but of all the politics in Europe, there is nothing which interests me so much os the state of things in Italy, and the progress of idens in Rome. One of the most interesting periods of my journey was iy visit te Rome, where I had the supreme pleasure of beholding Sporting Intelligenee. Unio Course, L. 1—Thortite —Y. day—e clear the afternoon.

The betting, however, was confined principally to Lady Sutton and Grey Eagle, Sul being considered too uncertain to venture much money on her on the present occasion; her friends Deing aware of ber unsteadiness, in addition to her hav- ing a sore mouth, which made her extremely restive under the bit. The track could not be complained of, as great pains had been taken to render it as smooth as possible; and in fact, we have seldom seen it better. There was a good attendance. Among those present we noticed anumber of sporting men, from Philadelphia, and other places, who all appeared highly gratified with the sport they had comeso far to witness.

City Intetiigence, ‘Tue O'ConneLt Ossequixs —At a meoting of the com- mittee, and friends of O'Connell, held last evening at Tammany Hall, Terrence MoCarthy, Esq, in the Chair, avd Charles E.

Upon entering Italy I heard many observations uttered respecting the Pope, and some of them rather illiberal, spring- ing from the supposition that he was hostile to the progress of liberal principles; but when I reached Rome, and enquired about his character, I discovered that he was one of the most liberal men of the age, and very unlike his predecessor, who was opposed to the erection of railways, and almost every other improvement and inven- tion of this enlightened era. I am sorry to find that my friends, the Aus- trians, who are a very amiable people, particu- larly the residents of Vieana, are taking such violent measures against the good Pope. They have already occupied Ferrera, an event which evinces their bad taste, for when I passed through that region it seemed hardly worth the trouble of occupying by any nation. It seems, also, that Louis Philippe is meditating some design against His Holiness, notwithstanding the catho- lic piety of the Queen of %he French. I saw the Pope, for the first time, in the Cistine Chapel, on Good Friday, clothed in his religious vestments. His countenance then bore such an expression of purity, benevolence, and sincere holiness, that it made an abiding impression upon my mind. From that day I have become an enthusiast in his cause. I regretted much not having had an introduction to him, but it was my own fault, as one of his chamberlains begged me to remain a day lon :er, and I should then be introduced; but Mr. B. was so impa- tient for me to return, that was obliged to leave sur le champ. Happily, on the morning of my departure one of the Pope’s chamberlains sent me a few souvenirs of Rome, and also had some bracelets blessed for me by the Holy Father. Among them was a rosary which I estimate to be worth five thousand dollars—fifty dollars for the rosary itself, and the balance for the blessing. I believe such things to be holy, when a good man like him blesses them. Though I am nota Roman Catholic, I do love the Pope. I havea cameo ring with his likeness upon it, which is ) considered a most perfect resemblance, and which | I intend to wear. You intend visiting Europe, do you? Well, if so, let me give you a little advice. Per- sons who visit Europe for the first time, ge- nerally waste a great deal of time and a great deal of money before they find out the right way to use either. Tne route to the continent is usually taken through England ; but I would ad- ise you to go direct to France. Goto Havre | by the Freneh steamer, or by the Havre packets, which I must say are much preferable and much | more beneficial, if travelling for health, than the heat and smoke of a steamer. Thence take the railroad to Paris, but don’t stay long in that capital. If you arrive in the early summer months, go directly to Brussels, Cologne, and up the Rhine; thence to Wisbaden and Baden- Baden. From there go to Switzerland, cross- ing the Alps and the Simplon—the best pass to Milan and Venice ; thence to Florence, Berne, and Naples. Ascend Vesuvius, and also make an excursion to Palermo and Etna. Return by sea to Genoa, from which city you can, intwo days, reach Turin, in Sardinia, a city which pleased me much. The Piedmontese are a most accomplished people, and exceedingly kind to strangers. The nobility of Piedmont are the most elegant and accomplished people I have ever met with, speaking almost all languages. 1 regretted I eould not make a lorger stay with those charming people. From Turin you can cross Mont Linai to Geneva, and from there pro- ceed to Paris, where you can remain the winter, attend the ba/s masques and the Italian Opera, and hear Grisi and Mario, perhaps Jenny Lind ; see Cerito, Carlotta Grisi, Lucia Grahn, and a host of other charming creatures’ too numerous to mention, Nava IntELuicexce.—The U.S. steam frigate | Princeton, from Philadelphia, arrived at Gibral- tar on the 16th ult., and proceeded to the coast of Barbary.

Theatrical and Musical, Panx Turatne.—Thore was e good house at the Park last evening, where Mr. Collins appeared in two pieces both of which were well received. Tho “ Wrong Passen- ger,” was much better than on the occasion of its first pre sentation; but the jewel of the evening was the capital lit- tle comedy of “His Last Legs,” or Experience in Mesmer- ism. In this last piece, Mr. Collins's performance of O'Callaghan was perfectly irresistable, and the audience were kept in a continual roar. In fact, now that Power ia no more, Collins is the only man who ought to attempt it. Im his hands it becomes a new thing ; he makes it peouliarly hisown. His sham restoration to his long absent daughter, isascene which needs to be seen to bo appreciated, ; and when once seen, we defy gravity in its severest dress ; laugh tho spectator must, in spite of himself, and that continually, To-night Mr. Collins takes his benefit, and what more needs to be said, than tant he appears in four pieces, besides two extra songs) as interludes.

A Axotuer Parniot Gonr.—We learn that Richard Crum, aged 86 years, died on Sunday last. He fought under Washington. Sexious Arrray.—Considerable excitement was occa- sioned at the corner of Hudson and Reade streets on Monday evening, in consequence of an attempt having been made, as it is allegnd, to take the life of Mr. Jobn J Eldridge, ex-police offlovr of the 6th waid,by Levi New son, by shoot at him with a pistol. that we have gathered in relation to this affair, it ap- pears thet the parties in question met somewhcre on Mondey afternoon, when an altercation took place, but nothing of a serious nature was anticipated; at six o’clock inithe evening the parties met accidentally, when ai words were repeated bot final, va Hf th parties, and fewson placed himeelf in an attitude for striking Mr. Eldridge, who in turn dealt out an effective blow or two, Almost immediately, Newson is understood to liave gone to a public house in the neighborhood, and said that he would have the life of Mr. Eldridge in less than an hour. The latter went home, and while at tes, a brother of Newson’s called at his house, and stated that he wished to seehim. (Mr. Eldridge.) The latter accord- Jagly left the table, and went out. "After proceeding short distance, Newson’s brother told Me. Eldridge at hislife was in danger. Mr. E., neverthel ccompanied Newson’s brotner to the corner of Hudson and Reads ste, when Newson bimeelf approached Mr. E. with a knife in his hand, end stated that Mr. E.s life was in bis power; whereupon the latter said, “it is, if you want it, take it.” Newson then drew out a pistol at Mr. FE , at the fame time romarked, “I have nothing to-lose,” and on Mr, E. making @ reply of similar import, Newson dis- charged the pistol, then brandished the knife again at Mr. £., who, on telling Newson that it would all be made right, ‘the latter asked for quarters, and thus the affair ended forthe night; but an investigation of the whole affair will doubtless be made by the authorities. Jumvina arter tHe Boat.—A young female, whose name we were unable to learn, on attempting to get on board one of the Fulton ferry boats, as she was about leaving the slip yesterday noon, fell into the water, but was fortunately rescued by offlcers Maloney and Lo- gan, of the 2d ward. Police intelligence. Extensive Forgrries. street, for the last two da; been on the gui vive in consequence of the extensive forgeries sald to be pel petrated by Francis Bartlett, broker, No. 4 Han street, on his brother Edwin Bartlett, merchant, No 42 South street, amounting to some $40,000, by forged checks. We understand that the Phenix and American Exchange banks are the suflerers—the latter bank, how- ever, to the great amouot. Bartlett supposed to have left the city on Saturday last for parts unknowo tlis residence, 814 Greenwich street, was watched on Burly, one of tho tive atta hes at the lower pulice, arrested yesterday a man by the name of Siduey R’ Ford, on a issued by Justice Drinker, whe.ein he stands charged with obtaining, by fraudulent representations, the signa: ture of Mr Philip Dater, of the firm of Da Co., 161 Front street, on a draft drawn by tl on Benjamin R. Snider, of No, 73 Camp street, New Orleaua, for the sum ot $100. It appears that the a cused, on the 11th of November, 1845, evlled upon Mr. Dater, and represented that he was authorised to draw city, each of which has its peculiar claims on the public favor; but notwithstanding the greatness of the supply of theatrical amusements, it is not greater than the de- mand. We are liappy to know that the Chatham keeps its own in the race; and when the season is over, it will be found that Mr. Fletcher will have done as much as he could desire. With an excellent stock company and a succession of good pieces, the house is filled every night. This evening Mr. Rice, Mrs. Nicholls, Mr. Neaile, &e., will appear iu the comedy of “ Bambooaiing,” the bur. ieeque opera, © Otello,” and the petite comedy, * Na- ture and Philosopiy.” After the first piece, # mono logue on the death of Daniel O'Connell wilt be sung by the entire company, We are sure this theatre will be led to-night. Patmo's Orrxa House —Tme Raves.—These won- derful acrobats drew last night another large audivuce, and their exbibition of fun and flights was indeed excel- lent. The comico-tragical performance of “ Rober, Macaire,” was truly capital; and Gabriel Ravel, in the part of Bertrand, (Jacques Strop,) displayed a great des of imitation of the celebrated performer who created the character in Paris, as wellas did bis brother Antoine. Both were received with great applause. ‘I'o-night Mr Jobo Sefton—the excelient actor—the able stage manu ger ofthis theatre, takes his benefit, and offers to the public a very good bill. It will be, really, as he says, a grand gala uight The performance will begin with the toglish vaudeville of “ The Three Faced krenchman,” in which Gabriel appears in five characters, tale of * Beauty and the Beast’ will be next the whole will ounciude with the second and last prform- ance of “ Robert Macaire.’’ We do not hesitate to ad i our readers fond of @ fine reoreation, to go and 088 this entertainment at Palmo's. This is au occa- on Mr Snider for the above sum, and finally induced Mr D. to endorse the draft, which the accused sold iu Wall street, and pocketed the money. The draft was forwarded to New Orleans, but was subsequently return- +d dishonored, as Mr. Snider knew nothing of the party drawing the notes, nor was he authorised to draw on Mr Snider; since which time the accused has been absent from the city South; and yesterday a telegraphic com- munication arrived ia town setting forth that Ford was iu the city. Consequently, complaint was made before the magistrate, and Mr, Ford is now lodged in the Tombs to await s further hearing in the cuse. A Dishonest Trick, and \irrest of the Thieves —A journeyman tailor by the name of Jonn Bockus, residing at Oyster Bay, came down in the steamboat Croton yes- terday moruing, and landed at the foot of Fulton street, hw engaged two black men to carry a trunk filled witn ready made clothing, to the store of Mr. Brooks, corner of Catherine and Cherry streets, which errand they performed correctly, and in less than an hour af- cerwards the same men called at the store agein, and waid they were sent for the same trunk, which was filled with fourteen unmade coats, worth $104. Mr. Brooks, supposing all to be correct, allowed them to tuke it off. vat shoruy afterwards it wes ascertained that no, such order bad been given, but merely a trick to obtain pos- ression of the property. Since the above was written, Officer Watson of the Sixth ward police, succeeded in arresting the two black men on the Five Points, who gave their names as John Williams and John Murphy. both well known thieves to the police. The trunk and two of the coats have been recovered by the officer, and uo doubt before this time the balance of the property has been found. Capteia McGrath locked both the rogues up for # farther bearing, SS irrest on Suspicion.—Offloer Taggart of the first ward arrested yesterday two men called Thomes Carroll and Patrick Farrell, on Lappe of having stolen $60 il, sion of amusement, and of a reward to Mr. John Sefton, for securing the Ravel Family to the New Yorkers, for this season. Bowery AmpnitHratar.—This establishment is doing as wellas the manager could desire. He produces every evening attractions which draw crowded houses; and if he expends money and labor, he has the consolation ot knowing that both are amply recompensed Under the present management this favorite place of recreation will without doubt, be a profitable concern. A glance et the bill for this evening will show that » ri. pleasant time Gao be spent there.

J Sept. 16> 2 fee Sia MONEY MARKET, Tuesday, Sept. 21.6 P. M, Prices for the fancies still romain in a very feverish state, and the market continues unsettled. At the first board to-day Long Island fell off 34 per cent; Harlem, 1; Reading, 4; Canton advanced 34; Morris Canal, i, and Treasury Notes, >; Farmers’ Loan and North Ameri- can Trust closed at yesterday's prices. At the second board Treasury Notes advanced i per cent.; Pennsylvania 5s, 3; Harlem fell off 34; Farmers? Loan, Canton, Norwich and Long Island closed at prices current in the morning. There was considerable excitement in the street to- day, im consequence of the announcement that forgeries to a very large amount had been committed by a leading broker, (a bull speculator in Harlem) upon a large house in South street. ‘The amount as far as known in ‘the street is about fifty thousand dollars, but as these things are kept as close as possible by the loosers, the probability is thatthe amount is much larger. Several banks In Wall street have been stuck by this financier, which with their losses by overdrawn accounts of other fancy stook sprculators, and on loans made on the hypo- theoation of these securities, will walk pretty deeply into their dividends for the next year. Further partiou- lars, relative to this affair, will be found under the Po- lice head in this days paper. ‘Wall street has been agitated very much during tte past few days, by various reports of failures of several of our mOst extensive commercial houses.

The reduced prices ruling for all de- scriptions of breadstuffs at all the sea-port markets have a tendency to kéep back supplies. Many producers pre- fer holding on for better prices than to submit to ruliog rates. Tho reduced reevipts of four and wheat plainly indicate this state of things, and our works of interuul improvement wiil feel the effect in more limited iu" comes, Prices for every variety of agricultural produot have ranged so high throughout the past two years, that the producers in every section of the couutry can afford to hold their products for better prices. There is 00 doubt but that this class of our people is in a mre prosperous condition now than they bave been for many years, and their ability to regulate prices is probably as good us it ever has been; but we doubt the nolicy of holdiog, under existing circumstances, for better prices. [t is our opinion that they will make « fatal mistake in so doing. The crops in every sec- tion of the country have been enormous, and there is every prospect of an immense influx of bread- stuffs into all the Atlantic markets upon the opening of navigation in the spring. With this immense supply, the fore'go demand is likely to be limited, and the causes for the high prices of the past two years, may not occur again for years. In the absence of an extensive foreign demand, there is no possibility of prices ruling even as high as those now current, as the market is likely to be affected by two very important things—incrvased receipts and reduced demand. Prices even now are sustained only by the prospect of a Hmited stock upon the closing of internal navigation. When our supplies from the in terior are cut off by the closing of the canal, pric’s will without doubt advance. and the rates throughout the winter rule somewhat higher then those now ourrent ; but this improvement, whatever it may be, will only lest « 0 long as there is an embargo on our intercourse with the interior. The country is filled with agricultural pro- duce, and the moment the outlets are open, there will be such a rush to the seaboard as will astonish every one. Our advice to the producers is, get every barrel of flour’ bushel of grain, and pound of butter and cheese to mar- ket this fall you can, take the best price offered, and let all those hold on till spring that choose. - The Commissioners of the Canal Fund, in reply to a resolution of the Senate instructing them to report the amount of surplus of the canai fund unsppropriated, which will be on hand at the close of the current fiscal year, which oan be applied, under the seventh article of the constitution, to the presecution of the public works, have made the following report:— New Yous Stare Canat Fun. ‘The amount of revenue from canal tolls, ineludii um of $88,946 49 psid by the railroads, for the year cominenciug oa the Ist of September, 1846. aad ending on the Sist Rf August, 1 47, is, . ies a (sterese ou burront deposits a banka Expenses of collection, superintendence and Ordinary EPMO. . ese cesses eevee 600 600 00 $2,870,004 82 Deduct for sinking fund under ar- tiole 7, see. 1, of the constitu- WOOT eis. 8.05 « deccy tess WOURONE Deduet for sinking fand under ar- ticle 7, seotion 2. of the consti- tution... ec. sees 850,000 Deduct payment to the Treasury of the State, under wrt 7, see- tion 3, of the constitution ..,. 200,000-1 850 000 00 Surplus... tee eee $1,020,904 62 ‘To fisenl yoar closes on the 80th of Septemver, but the tolls for September are not realized in time to be in- jaded in the same fivonl year in whieh the moneys are | paid; henow the tolls for September, 1846, are included in the revenues of the yeat which closes on the 30th of September, 1847, and the tolls received in September ot the latter year are excluded | The amount of revenue from tolls in the preceding statement shows very nearly the actual receipts from this source for the fveal year.
