THD WSEEKLY EHBRALD. THE BATTLE FIELDS OF CONTRERAS AND CHURUBUSCO. The MWeekly Herald will be ready at nine o’clock this morning, and will be as replete with interesting matter as any sheet we ever issued. It will contain a fall synopsis of the English news received by the Britannia; the reports of the foreign markets ; interesting letter from Mr. Bennett, on the finaneial crisis in England. It will also contuim the latest news from the seat of war, which we may receive by «xpress or otherwise, and the latest general, political and miscellaneous news from all parts of the United States, To afford the public facilities for correctly un- derstanding the details of the splendid battles of Contreras and Churubusco, we shall publish io the Weekly Herald a plan of the battle-fields, taken from a sketch of the ground made by Lieut. ‘Beauregard, of the corps of engineers, forthe New Orleans Picayune, and will repub- lish the engraving of the ‘ Approaches to the city of Mexico.” This will be an excellent paper to keep for future reference. Another View of the Great Britain. Our artist has engraved an excellent view of the monster steamer Great Britain, as she ap- peared nfter she began to float off Dundram S$ nds. Weshall publish it in to-morrow’s He- rald The Prospect of Peace. We give the letter from Tampico, and publish- edi L« Patria, in fullin this day’s piper. I was briefly referredto, yesterd: y, in oar Southern: telegraphic report. That it is all gammon, iv clear +nough, but we publish it partly to indi- cite the course the Mexican anthorities may take it a treaty is made with the United States. Whatever the terms may be, the mass of the Mexican people will be made to believe that we have given up every thing to Mexico for the sake of peace. ———$$$_______ Movements in Poll The United States, for about twelve month- prre-ding a prenidential election, presents a spec. ticle which increases daily in interest until the die is cast, ond the successful candidate induct- ed into the White House at Washington. The intrigues of the wire-pullers, the shuffling and shifiing of political parties, the murchiny and counter-marching, the false attacks and the real utt cks, the retreats and advances, and all the petty movements which politicians resort to for the purpose of advancing the cause to which they are uttached, irrespective of t 1¢ public weal, are completely unknown to the people at large, and would, if presented to them in all their naked deformity, astonish and amaze them. The cur- tuin once lifted, light would shine in, and the picture presented to their gaze would amuse and at the same time horrify them. We have long contemplated lifting this cur- tain, difficult though we knew the task to be ; but we think we can procure a lever which will accomplish it. We are making arrangements to station in the capital of every State in the Union, and will extend them to the new territory as soon as peace is declared, to have in our own employment a special and confidential corres- pondent, well acquainted with the movements of the politicians, and who, having no interest with any party farther than to obtain from it inklings of its schemings, will detail to us, in the form of correspondence, all the manwuvres which all parties, through their leaders, will re- sort to during the coming canvass to deceive and dazzle the people out of the man of their choice, and elect their own especial, favorite if they can. These arrangements will soon be completed. In the meantime, we give in to-day’s paper a letter from Pennsylvania, one from Ohio, two from Massachusetts, and so on, which detail a few of the secret workings of the politicians in those States, and open to view the work for the people for the next twelve months. ‘The Difficulty between General Kearny and Colonel Krémont, It is much to be regretted that difficulties, in regard to rank and obedience to orders, arise occasionally between the officers of our army. They detract from the character and efficiency of the service, and, in one instance at least, a misunderstanding in regard to rank was near blasting forever the name of as gallant an officer as ever lived, and one who, by deeds of valor, has proven himself worthy of the proud position he holds, and the favorable notice that the gov- | ernmvnt took of his bravery and disregard of danger in conflict with the enemy. Tne officer we refer to is Colonel Worth— | now Brevet Major General Worth — whose services in the field are so well known to the public and so highly appreciated by the army and the country, A slight misunder- standing about rank induced that officer to re- sign his commission and leave the scene of war; buat, fortunately for himself and the country, he altered his mind and again assumed his station. Likea gallant officer as he is, he forgot his private grievances when he saw hig services were needed ; and it is due to himto say that the sacrifice of his personal teelings on the occasion was highly honorable to him. The next most important diffieulty that arose of the difficulty ber request, will; do more injury to Col. Fre- mont than it willdo good. It will be looked upon by public, a8 an effort to prejudge the case for which he has demanded atrial. This is the view we take of it, and knowing Col. Fremont to be as valuable an officer as any in the service, and entertaining for him profound respect and ad- miration for his valuable services and researches | while engaged in the exploring expedition, and | his important services in California, as well as | for his previous soldierly demeanor, we sincere | ly regret the publication of the card referred to. | It is to be hoped that civilians having nothing | to do with this difficulty, will not be allowed to intrude themselves before the public on the trial, or be allowed to take any part whatever in the proceedings thereupon, Tar U.S. Steamer Lue —We mentioned, | yesterday, that this beautiful craft was cruising about our bay on Thursday, for the pur,ose of testing an apparatus constructed by Capt. Erice- son, to furnish a constant supply of fresh water for her boilers. We omitted to state that this important experiment has been prosecuted under the especial direction of Mr. Secretary Walker, and that the honor, in the event of success, will belong to him of having solved, what all mu-t admit to be the most important unsolved prob- lem in ocean steam navigation. Among the gen- tlemen associated with Charles H. Haswell,Esq., engineer in chief of the U. S. Navy, in conduct- ing the experiment, were Thomas B. Stillman, John H. Towne, George L. Schuyler, P.ofessor Mapes, James McFarland, Lewis Taws, Captain Frazer, ot the revenue matine, Willlam Sewell, Jr, and W. W. Wood, of the U.S. N., aud Wm A. Lighthall. Several geutlemen interested in steam navigation were prese.t as invited guests, among whom were Simuel M Fox, E. K. Col- lins, William Kemble, and J. D. Van Buren, Es- quires. The report of this commission, trom tne great interests involved, is looked for with great anxiety Tue Ocran Sreamers.—There appears to be a heavy business doing at present in the way of repairing vessels; every duck in the city is oceu- pied, and upparently eagaged for days and weeks tocome. Tue emergency has spurred the owners of the docks to some purpose; alterations and improvements have been made, and the powers aud capabilities of each fully teated. A good deal of competition exists between them, end each owner is doing ali that can be done to add to the efficiency of his dock. We noticed in the vicinity of taese ship hospitals,” disabled ves- sels from ull parts of the world waiting their turn. The new-balance or box dock has been so much improved within a few days, that the new steamship Northerner, measuring 210 feet keel, rests upon it as safe and as free from harm as if she had been moored at the wharf. The Britannia is on the sectional dock, immediately alongside the Northerner. These steamers both look well and are pretty much of a size. Their models, peculiarities, &c., are in full view, which, to the lovers and patrons of naval archi- tecture, are worth a visit. The ‘Approaching Elections. Oct. 4 Mississippi. Louisiana, Georgia. .

Bowery Tueatae.—Within our recollection, the | manager of the Bowery Theatre has not issued a bill that has given more solid and real eatistaction than that in- cluding the “Carpenter of Rouen,” ‘Hofer the Tell of the Tyrol,” and the Yankee burlesque the Lady of Lyons.” ‘These three pieces have been received in the most favor- able manner, and have been applauded every night they were performed. We think the manager shows good taste, and « desire to please his in advertising them for this evening, for we doubt if he could issue one that would give more amusement to those who patronise his theatre, The Bowery Theatre is a very attractive place of recreation, and can be visited by the most fasti- dious portion of the publ'c, without danger of seeing an: thing calculated to mar their ‘amusement. 7 CuatHaM Turatne.—We are inclined to think that the Chatham Theatre cannot hold all who will apply for admission there this evening, because Jim Crow Rice’s benefit is advertised. and a bill, the equal of which for novelty and amusement hat not been produced during the whole season, is provided for the occasion. The first pieca to be performed is the nautical drama, “ Tom Cringle’s Log,” then a fairy dance Miss De Loraine, then the comio Ethiopian opera, “Bone Squash Dia- volo,” then # double Irish jig, by Mr and Miss Yates, and then the “ Virginia Mummy,” which it is unneces- sary to say a word wbout, because of its being so well 80 favorably known to the patrons of this favorite establishment.

Then will be played next, a comedy culled “John Jones, PP ; or. The Man and the Tiger? This farce is enid to be one of the best ever performed at Palmo’s theatre. The whole entertainment will conclude with “The Midnight Assault: or, the Italian Brigand-”—a serles of tubleaua copied from the celvbrated kere, of Horace Vernet, who stunds iv France at the head of all the other artiste.

These two wonderful artists, per- forming together on the same evening, will undoubtedly attract @ numerous audience, which, we hope, will fill the benches of the Tabernacle. Besides all their own attraction, Hers and Sivori have secured the services of the charming and talented cantatrice, Madame Fleury Jolly. Thia fair singer, who gave but one concert ia w York. during the month of June, and left behind her so many admirers of her thrilling voice and perfect methode, will re-appear with a fresher voice than before, for she has been rusticating and breathing the pure air of the country during thesummer. Signor Rapetti, the lvader of the Italian opera, will direct the orchestra, which will be composed of the best artists in New York. Mecuanics’ Hacu.—Yankee Hilland Dr. Valentine who are at present exhibiting their wonderful powers at Mechanics’ Hall,have no reason to be dissatisfied with the manner in which their entertainments are patronized. ‘Their merits and talents are acknowledged, and duly ap- preciated. We have not heard whether they will remain here longer than this week, but we are under the impres- sion that they will not. If we sre mistaken, we shall n early opportunity of correcting ourselves Sicnor Buitz.—If the reputation of this great necro- mancer and professor of ventriloquiam, was not as great at it deserves to be, we would not see his entertainments so well attended as they are every evening. Since his appearance this last time, the Society Library lecture room, the place where he performs his tricks and decep- tions, has been nightly filled with a large and select audience, to whose amusement he ministers in his own peculiar manner. ‘There is to be a performance this afcernoon.

Drownen —Tae coroner held an inquest, also, upon the bouy of a boy, nine years old, named Peter Donnelly, who left home, 20 Clark. street, on Tuesday noen lus:, and was not np seen until found floating in the &) p at the foot of North Moore street, yesterday. Verdict— between officers in regard to rank or obedience to orders, was that which occurred between General Kearny and Lieutenant Col. Fremont, both as fine fellows and as brave men as ever faced an enemy. The former was appointed Governor of California by Commodore Stockton, of the navy, and entered upon the duties of his new office immediately after his appointment. When General Kearny arrived there, and, by virtue of authority from the government of the United States, instituted himself governor of that part of Mexico, and assumed authority over Com. Stockton and Col. Fremont, which Com. 8. and Col. F. would not and did not ac- knowledge, a serious collision at once pecurred between these officers, the result of which was that Col; Fremont was placed under arrest by Gen. Kearny, and sent to the United States, where both he and Gen. Kearny arrived a short time since. The matter will now be investigated by a court martial, or court of enquiry, the judg- ment of which will be looked for with much interest by the people at large. Our only mo- tive in referring to this matter, to point out the losa to the country from this difficulty, and not to express any opinion on the merits of the iseue between these two officers. Of that we know nothing, and will be satisfied with the decision of the court of enquiry. It is clear, however, that the country is temporarily depriv- ed of the services of both in consequence of it. This is to be regretted, for both are valuable officers, We perceive that Colonel Fremont has pub- lished a long letter in the Washington Union, addressed to the Adjutant-General of the United States, demanding acopy of the charges filed | against him by General Kearny, and requesting an early trial; ‘ desiring that the public mind moy huve something to rest upon in answer to the accusation made against him, until the trial shali enable them to make their own decision.” As we before remarked, we have not formed f | mon Counc Boanvor Assistant ALverMen, Bept. 24 —Linius W. ideut, in ihe chair.

A beavy cornice, with massive scroll work support, gives a bighly finished appearance to the upper part, while six colucins with very pretty capitals support it from the ground story. There are six windows in the surmounted by a cornice corresponding in style with the rest of the front. These windows are to be glazed with stained glass, and,when all is completed,will undoubted- ly produce a beautiful effect. and second tiers of boxes is to be on Broadway ; the en- trance to the third tier and gallery on Anthony street. The interior is fitted up with a degrie of taste, and with reference to the comiort of the audi- ance, which at once speaks in favor of the man- agement, as understanding where their true interest lies The house, it is calculated, will seat 4000 persons. The seats iu the first tier of boxesare moveable, but conform to the shape of the circle; they are, in fact, so many sofas, well cushioned, and covered with French tapestry of ex- cellent quality and good colors. The seats in the second tier and parquette are well made with whole backs, are Slso well cushioned. aud covered with crimson plush (‘he third tier and gallery are comfortably fitted up, but of course there is more paint and less cloth in these u per regions.

It was rumored at the time tuat ‘compromise had effected; auch, however, was not the case, as Counsellor Terhune, who was engaged by O'Neil for the prosecution, advised his client to receive the money, as apart of that stolen, which money was paid juto Court, to wait the event of a trial. Charge of False Pretencee —A complaint was made esterday before Justice Drinker, against a young man yy the name of H-nry Sherard,s youn, law practitioner, located in Mr. Van Hovenburgh’s ice, in Chambers street, charging him with having obtained from a poor woman by the name of Ann Donahue, residing at No. 15 Elisabeth street, $b by false and fraudulent r+ presenta- tious. It eppears that the husband of this woman had been arrested the night previous for being drunk, and oo being brought before Justice Drinker in the morning, at seven o'clock, received @ reprimand and discharged About an hour afterwards his wife came to the police office in order to learn what disposi- tion had been made with her husband, when she was met by Sheratd in the police office, who requested her to come down to hiv office,and he would obtain the re- lease of her husband. On arriving at the law office, he asked her if she had any money; she said,“ Yes, a $o gold piece.” -* Well.” said he, * I can get your husband out for that; $3 must be paid to Justiow Drinker, and $2 for myself” ‘The money was paid in order to liberate her husbund, but shortly after, she sscertained that her hurband bad been discharged by the magistrate early in the morning, consequently the complainant dedares that the accused obtained the $5 by false and fraudu- lent representations.

Liltien va Burrow and Prior. —This was ‘an action of asnumsit, growing out of the following cir. cumstances: the defendante who are commission mer- chants in this city. received from Stonington. Conn. lot of whalebone to be sold on commission The plai tiff called at tho defendants store and purchased it at 34% cents per pound, for shipment to Bremen. The artiole was represented by the defendants to vontain 193 bundles and to weigh 21.056 lbs. It was next given to a weigh master to be weighed, and carted to the ship in which it was to be sent to Bremen. In order to put the proper marks and numbers on it, so that it might be easily identified at its port of destination, the plaintiff sent his clerk to mark and see it weighed. After thy weighing was finished, it turned out there were but 187 bunules, and was short in weight 1257 lbs. On delivery to the mate of the ship, which was to transport itto Bremen, it was also counted by him, and found to contain only 187 bundles. These facts were reported to the plaintiff, who afterwaras met or called upon one of the de- fendants, and told him there was an error both in the number of bundles and in the weight, and he wished to have the matter inquired into before the vessel left port. ‘The latter replied, that even though there might be an error in the number ef bundles, the weight was all right, or at all events it should be made right. Upon this un- derstanding the plaintiff paid the price of the whalebone, and the vessel proceeded on her voyage. Upon her arrival ut the port of Bremen, it was again counted and weigh- ed, and found to contain but 187 bundles, and to be short in weight 1256 Ibs; the defendants were then ap- plied to to refund the difference; but they refused, and the action is now brought to recover the value of 1266 Iba, at 343g cents per lb. When tre plaintiff closed his evidence, the defendants’ counsel moved for a nonsuit, on the ground that the plaintiff had made a voluntary payment, with full notice of the error; that tho defend- unts have paid over the proceeds to their principal, and ought not now to be called on to refund out of their own money. The motion for a nonsuit was denied, and de- fendanta ordered to go into their defence. The defence was mostly technical.except that evidence was given that from the fact that whalebone is mostly stowed with the oil and that for the preservation of the oil in southern lati- tudes, it is necessary to deny casks continually wet- ted, in consequence of which the bone imbibes a large quantity of the water; that plaintiff examined the arti- cle at the defendants’ store before he made the purchase. and that he was cognizant of all the facta, and bought it a little below the market price; that it was weighed by a man of great experience, and that plaintiff's clerk was present and saw every pound of it weighed. ‘The weigh- Insster was produced, and swore that the weight was correct, but would not answer for the number of bun- dles, Other witnesses were produced. to show that the weight might have decreased on the voyage by evapora. tion. The Judge reserved the question ot law, and told the jury if they believed that the weight was incorrect, they should find for the plaintiff, making a deduction for the evaporation.

Case of Martin Hare.—The District Attorney then stated that in consequence of the grand jury having found ® bill of indictment for bigamy agsiost Martin Hare, had sent the case to the Court of Sessions for dis- posal; he therefore culled for the arraignment of Hare, whereupon James T. Brady, Esq. counsel for the ac- cused, moved to have the indictment strick n from the files of the court, on several grounds, which he argued ut great length, the principal one of which was that the grand jury had no jurisdiction in the case while it was pending before Judge Edmonds, who was competent to dispose of the case without any interference of the Grand Jury. and that had !pot 4 writ of habeas corpus been issued by Justioe Osborne, who had committed the accused for examination, would have procewded with his investigation, and if the com- plaiot againgt the latter should seed, the Grand Jury would have bad no right to take up and consider the matter Aw it was, Judge Edmonds became the ex- rd te | magistrate, and he had been called upon to give his deomion, and it was bis (Mr. B.'s) intention that Judge Edmonds should yet that the maui in whic! ve his opinion in the case; Judge Edmonds had dis- | posed of it, so far as he was concerned, was a ver | singular one, for while he hed concluded to send it to the Court of Sessions as the proper tribunal for prison on the original commitment of Justice Osborne, who had merely committed the accused for examination Mr Brady then eee to refer to the case of Camp & Wilkes, in which the indictment found sgeinst them wasetricken from the files of the court, on the ground that the socused parties had not been allowed the privi- lege guarantied By the statutes of meeting the com- plainants, and being hoard before the magistrate having The court decided that the decision of the court in the case of Camp & Wilkes was not bindiog upon the present one; and that the motion | to quash the indictment, or strike it from the files of the | court in the present instance, was denied.

A MEXICAN CIRCULAR.

The occasion ofthe clroular was the disol of cannon in the capital at half-past 2 o'clock the oon of that day, announcing that the American army had taken up its march from Puebla, ‘The circular is long and verbose and not worth translating. it describes the euthusiasm with which all ol w to their arms when the concerted signal given.

In less than Oae bour the National Guard were ou the march tothe points assigned them on the fortitications erected for the defence of the city. The strength of these works, and the number, equip- ments and disciplive of the troops raised by Santa Anna for the pub.ic cefence, are extolled as eviuence of his energy, Capacity and devotion to his country. We need hurdiy say that the Minister is very sanguine of success in the forthcoming conflict. The strength of General Scott's army isdeecribed. His men are represented as an hunoful of necessitous, vicious fellows Thuy are reproached with being unable to take possession of the capital after the battle of Cerro Gordo, although there was 10 Mexican army to oppose their ‘advance and no fortifications to retard them, If the valor of their troops and the bousted skill of their generals could not avail them to seize the capftal when totally defenceless, what will they avail now that Santa Anna has fur the third time caised an army.and the city is ina state of defenc: Such is the course of the ressouing upon this head Still Santa Anna contemplated the possibility ie feat, and instructed his secretary tomake an i) «1 to his countrymen, in case he should succumb, tx their iaternal dissensions und devete toemsely cause of theircountry.

The com- mand of dragoons consisted of about 30 of Captain Du- peru’s company. and 18 of Capt. Kearpy’s company. with Lieut. Graham As the party were returning. t'ey were fired on by # party of guerilla, 300in number, from a cornfield on the road side At the first fire, the word “retreat”? passed from front to rear; and the 3d dra- goons. who were und-r the command of Lieut. Adue, commenced # precipitate retreat. Lieut. Grabam with his 13 men, were in the rear; and as soon as he saw thy situation of Lieut. Hamilton. rurhed to bis assistance ut the sume time endeavoring to rally the 3d dragoons as they passed him, but without effct. He therefore bad to bear the brunt of the engagement at the o-m- mencement, or leave Lieut Hamilton to the mercy of the guerillas However, his gsilant command stood their ground, and succeedea in holding the enemy in check ‘until Mr. Garcai. one of Gen Scott's interpreters, war enabled to rally the 3d dragoons and come to hin assist- ance. After those who had been brought back were properly commanded, they fought with as much gallant- Ty as those who never moved un inch; thus proving that good officers are a necessary as good men. ‘The enpage- ment lasted for some time, and the fire from the enemy was very rapid. Lieut. Hamilton was attacked by seve- ra! laucers. and before assistance could be rendered him, le received a severe wound, The enemy was finally ariven from the ground, with a loss of 16 killed left upon the field. Our loss is Lieut. Hamilton, of the Ist dra- goons. wounded; 9 of the 3d dragoons, killed; and two Mexicans, who were with the command as guides, wound- ed. The 1st dragoons also had two very fine horses kill- ed, Had the command been properly managed from the start, no serious damege would have been sustained by our troops, and the enemy been severely dealt with — Lieut.
