NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Wednesday, September 20, 1887, ‘The Herald for Europe. ‘The steamship Union will leave this port tor France to-morrow, and the Britaania will leave Boston for Liverpool the day after. The mails for both will close in this city to-morrow. We shall issue as usual an edition of the Herald for Europe for each steamer—that for the French mship containing a synopsis of American news since the sailing of the last steamship, in French, for the use of the Continent, and both containing the latest news from the seat of war, and from every part of the country, including the markets, and perhaps the terms of a treaty of peuce betweenthe United States and Mexico. They will comprise a dish of American news that will be read with interest in every part of Europe. The engraving will be a representation of the steamship Britannia receiving repairs on the sec- tignal dock. News from Europe. The steamship Philadelphia, from Cherbourg, will be due on Friday next. She will bring two weeks later intelligence from the Continent of Europe. Our arrangements are now so far completed, that we shall probably receive regularly by each French steamer, letters from our special corres- pondents situated in continental Europe, south of the line running east and west through Paris, and containing a sammary of the news for each current fortnight. These special despatches will, in the present posture of affairs in Europe, be of the most ab- sorbing interest. Our Relations with Brazil. We learn from an authentic source that an or- der has just been issued from the Treasury De- partment at Washington, requiring the collec- tors at the different ports of entry to levy a duty of twenty per cent upon coffee imported from Brazil, in the vessels of that nation. If there is authority for this, we have some curiesity to know why- it has not been put in force before this, and why it is en- forced at this particular juncture. If it is merely for revenue, it will not amount to much, as very little coffee is imported into this country from Brazil in Brazilian bottoms. There is a Bra- zilian vessel now in Boston with coffee, and another in Philadelphia, but this is an unu- sual occurrence, and is attributed to the scarcity of American shipping at Rio Janeiro, and other Brazilian ports. We have no commercial treaty with Brazil, and the commercial intercourse of the two na- tions is regulated by the tariffs of each. We have not heretofore been aware that there existed authority for such restrictions upon the com- merce of Brazil with the United States, and in the absence ef anything definite as to the object of enforcing the law, we are induced to believe that the recent acts ot the Brazilian government, relative to our whaling vessels visiting their ports, have been the principal cause of this move- ment on the part of ours. ‘The Question of Compromise—its Importance to the Union. There are cheering indications of a more moderate tone of feeling at the South as well as atthe North, onthe slavery question, as con- nected with the acquisition of the Californias. The Wilmot proviso, so violently thrown in the teeth of Southern men, last session, drove them, in the height ef exasperation, to an equal- ly impracticable extreme. Many, and among them Mr. Calhoun, declared against the Mis- souri compromise. But if a serious resistance to the extension of the compromise line to Cali- fornia was ever contemplated by Mr. Calhoun, and those who acted with him, there is reason to believe that the recent frank declaration of Mr. Buchanen against the proviso, followed by the very general approval of his sentiments by the press of the North, has softened the asperities of feeling which have existed at the South ever since this ill-advised doctrine was first promul- gated. Many of the more influential journals of the South, among them the reputed organ of Mr. Calhoun, have recently declared their approval of the extension of the Missouri compromise line, as a means of adjusting the difficulty raised in regard to the further acquisition of territory. Why, then, open up this question anew, if the South be willing that it be decided on the basis of the Missouri compromise ? The position has been assumed that the con- stitution itself was a result of compromise, and that with its establishment all compromise was atanend. Wherefore? It is true the constitu- tion was the result of compromise; but why should compromise cease with its tormation ? If the wise men who framed it had been averse to the perpetuation of the system of compromise, they would not have built upon that system an instrument, which they intended to transmit to posterity, as the ark of the covenant made be- tween the several members of the confederacy. In that instrument they set a lasting example of compromise ; and it is fair to assume that they would not have done so had they regarded such an example as dangerous. To argue that, be- cause the constitution was the result of compro- with the conviction that the maintenance of the Uaion was incompatible with a striet adherence to the principles of either section of the country, adjusted the difficulty by mutual concession. The nation has three times compromised the slavery question, with ite eyes open, It, as is said, to compromise the slavery question is to compromise the constitution, a most wicked and dangerous examp e was set us by those who framed that constitution, and that instrument has been twice compromised and violated by some of the wisest and best men this country has ever produced. Are we so pure, so wise, so patriotic, as to be justified in constituting ourselves censors of the purity, the wisdom, the patriotism of those who framed the constitution, and of those who have since followed their example?

Torat Loss or THe Packet Suir AUBURN AND wer Crew.—A letter from the wreck-master at Long Beach, was received yesterday, by the se- cretary of the board of underwriters, of which the following is a copy :— Lona Beacn, The ship Orbit, of New York, Cap’ Lb gears Dives) ees ce she Li each, Barnegat In- et, on Saturnay night last. Si me to pieces, and the captain, first mate and sixteen canes are lost. Yours respectfully, EDWARD GEDNINGS, Wreck-master. It is here distinctly stated that it is the ship Orbit, but as there is not a ship belonging to this port of that name, it is believed beyond a doubt to be the Auburn, Capt. Hoyt, which sailed from New Orleans on the 24th of August for this port, and was on Saturday fairly due. - The Auburn was a regular packet between this city and New Orleans, belonging to the late firm of Stanton & Frost. She was to have been sold on her arrival, for the purpose of settling the af- fairs of the firm. Her cargo was valuable, con- sisting 352 bales of cotton, 15 bales of moss, 34 sacks of wheat, 4 bales of buffalo robes, 5075 pigs of lead, a quantity of indigo, castor oil, starch, 569 bales hemp, and about 68 packages of mer- chandise, which, with the vessel, was valued at about seventy-five to one hundred thousand dol- ‘ars, and insured in Wall street. The amount is pretty well divided among the offices. She was a good ship of five hundred and fifty tons burthen, built in this city about ten years since, and was valued at $20,000. t. 25, 1847. ite, from New - Omnisusses 1x Broapway.—Unless the cor- poration ordinance, requiring the drivers of omnibusses to ‘“‘ keep to the right,” be more strictly enforced than it has been, Broad- way will be unsafe for private vehicles, or even for pedestrians. It not unfrequently occurs that the drivers of these large vehicles upset private car- riages, thereby endangering the lives of their occupants, for the purpose of securing a sixpence, before the passenger be taken up by the omnibus a little way behind. This should not be allowed, and if the nuisance continue to exist, private carriages will be forced to abandon the use of Broadway, and leave it in the exclusive control of the omnibusses. By the way, we are happy to see that the Com- mon Council have directed Mr. Russ to pave another good portion of this beautiful avenue with square blocks of granite, in the same way as he is now doing the upper part. This is a good move, and we hope to see it all paved in the same manner before many years, when it be, and the omnibusses kept within proper regula- tions, Broadway will compare favorably with any street in the worl mise therefore all compromise should cease from ite establishment, would involve as great an absurdity as that, because this fair world was created by a harmonious combination and ar- rangement of the various elements of its organi- zation, therefore harmony should thenceforth cease on earth, and the example set by the’Crea- tor, in the formation of the universe, should not be followed by his creatures in their daily inter- course with each other. The whole machinery of this government of ours is regulated and works on a system of com- promise. The very revenues that maintain it are derived from a tariff, which is a practical exem- plification of this spirit. The laws of the Gen- eral Government are framed with an impartial regard to the interests of every portion of the country; but the interests of different sec- tions of the country are adverse, each to the other —therefore impartial laws must involve mutual accommodation and compromise. It will not be contended that what suits Massachusetts is for the interest of South Carolina, or what is pleasing to Maine is equally so to Louisiana. The habits of the people, their feelings, their in- terests, their occupations are different, and must ever remainso. Laws framed specifically to suit each must consequently be diametrically opposite in their aim and character. Therefore, in order to do equal justice to both seetions, mutual conces- sion must enter asa primary element into all laws of the General Government. This mutual concession is what is commonly known by the name of “ compromise.” If, then, into the formation of laws regulating commerce and other domestic concerns, this thing, called compromise, of necessity enters pri- marily, it should also enter into the formation of laws relating to slavery, for the reason that the North and the South differ as much on that question as on any other. But difference of opinion on questions of commerce and other cognate questions, does not involve danger of a dissolution of the Union. Difference of opinion on the slavery question doe therefore, a ma- jore, should compromise enter into the adjudica- tion of all questions relating to slavery. Accordingly, prudent statesmen of*the North and of the South, as well in the formation of the —The large and ele- gant steamship Hermann, the second in the line between this port, Southampton, and Bremen, will be launched to-morrow afternoon, at half-past one o’clock, from the yard of Messrs.

Anotuer Great Fire in Maysvit. was another great fire in Maysville, (Ky.) on the 19th. It originated in the large frame , COF- ner of Wall and Water streets, owned and ocoupied by Mr. William S Reed, and in less than one hour the whole row of frame buildings on the east side of Wall, nine in number, was a heap of mouldering ruins. Th buildings were not very valuable, but contained a quai tity of produce, jes, furniture, &c., which was de- cee fs [gated po |. The loss is about as fol- lows :—| avis, four buildings, $1600, no insurance; Wood & D furnishing store, $3.00, insured for $2,500; John D. Bridges, dry and $91,500, no insurance; Soloman Shockly, buildin; }, no in- surance; Alexander Maddox, houses groceries, $3,000, insurance $1,000; W. Mose, back, fruiterer, $200; Mrs. Jacobs, a poor widow, lost all her furniture and the wearing 4) of herself and children. Messrs, Mook- lar and C and Thomas J. Pickett had 17 tons of hemp (the former 12 and the latter 5) stored in the ware- house of Mr. Reed, belonging to various individuals; Messrs. J P. Dobyns & Co. out 14 tons; Mr. Robert Downing, two tons, and M: Gault, some seven or eight tops the whole valued at about $4,200. Mr. Reed estimates his loss at from $1,500 to $2000. He was in- sured for $1200 on the warehouse and goods. Dr. Do- byna and Mr. J. B. M‘Ilvain suffered a considerable lors in the injury of their furniture, but are fully insured.

We should think that more people visited the thea- tres and other places of amusement last evening and on Monday evening, than we ever have known to do so be- fore. ‘The Park last evening was briliiantly attended by the fashionable portion of the public, to see Mrs. Mowatt in her new play. The Bowery was filled from pit to dome. The Ghatham was as full as it could well be. ‘The new theatre in Broadway was filled to overflowing; #0 was the Tabernacle to hear Hers and Sivori ; so was Mitchell’s; so was the Museum; so was Palmo’s Opera House; and the Bowery Circus could not contain many more than were there. ‘An immense sum of money must have been expended in theatricals that evening; a greater sum we can safely any than has ever been expended in this city on one evening for amusements. We think this affords conclusive evidence that our city is in a prosperous condition. Panx Tueatne —Mrs, Mowatt’s play of “Armand” was repeated last evening at the Park, and was recived, as on the occasion of ite first presentation, with unaffected de- monstrations of applause. The piece is well written and well constructed for the stage. The interest which is excited at the opening, but not raised too high, gradu- ally increases after the first act, and finally augments to aclimax, which is developed in the last scene. There is no lagging, no falling off, from first to last. ‘The charac- ters are well sustained. Richelieu, the unscrupulous courtier and politician, Louis XIV., the licentious king, Armand, the ohild of the people, the constant lover, the brave soldier, and true mam, with the other characters, which fill up the piece, are all done in a manner which reflects credit on the gentlemen and ladies to whom the various parts are assigned, and among them we must not forget Mrs. Vernon as Babette, the peasant dame. High hopes were raised in favor of the piece, it was known that the writer of the play was not only to oversee the rehearsal of it, but was to perform the princi- pal part herself ‘These hopes have not been disappoint- ed. The acting shows that the author is dul: ee. ted, her conceptions comprehended by the whole cast. and all the minor points, which often make or mar a drama, are well brought out, and tell with ad- mirable effect. There are, perhaps, few incidents whioh might be improved or excluded from the play. We have in our mind at present the scene of the rustic dance in which Blanche and Armand come upon the ther; almost as soon as they appear rhe par- tally faints, but immediately recovers, when the dance hich she joins, and finally yields to t!

This may be a small matter; but the scene would be more perfect if the first faintness were excluded. But of the whole piece, we cannot. in , speak otherwise but in praise. ‘At the conclu- ‘sion of the play, Mrs. Mowatt was called out, and again reoeived the proud reward which a gratified audience awarded with great enthusiasm. “Armand” will be repeated to-night. It is destined to be popular. Bowsry Turatre.—As might have been expected the new drama entitled the “ Siege of Monterey, or the Triumphs of Rough and Ready,” which we referred to particularly yesterday, attracted last evening at the Bowery, as large am audience as the establishment could contain. The enthusiasm with which each part was received, was fully as great as that which charac- terised its first production. It is acknowledged by all who have seen it as the most attractive and splendid piece that Mr. Jackson ever produced. We devoted more time to the examination of the scenery and the general getting up of this piece, last evening, than we had an op- portunity of doing the evening before, and we are de- cidedly of that opinion. Mr. Jackson is determined that the Bowery will receive its share of patronage.— ‘The “Siege of Monterey” will be repeated to-night with the same cast,and the comedy of the “Spectre Bridegroom, or a» Ghost in Spite of Himself,” will be added to the evening’s amusements. CuatHaM Tueatar.—The new piece which we re- ferred to in yesterday’s paper, viz., ‘The Lonely Man of the Ocean, or the Night Before the Bridal,” was re- peated last evening, and was enthusiastically received by avery large audience. Every act, every scene, and the personation of every part, drew forth repeated bursts of applause,and many were the encomiums passed on the manager for his enterprise in providing what he thought would be ecceptable to his patrons. We have never seen Mr. Neafie to better advantage than we saw him in this piece, and it is no more than just towards the gentlemen and ladies who took the remaining cha- racters, to say that they all acquitted themselves very handsomely. It will be repeated to-night, anda new comedy will likewise be ed.

Henry Wells, with solo on jolin by Mr. Lamanna. Then will come the funny tomime of the “Wood Cutters,” in which Gabriel Ravel takes the character of Jobard. The whole will con- clude with the celebrated exercise of the “Bedouin Arabs,” by the whole Ravel family, consisting of the “Pas de Dervis au tambour,” “tour%illous,” and numer- ous other extraordinary leaps and feate, worthy to be seen by allthe admirers of gy! ics, No doubt the house will be well attended. Tasennacie.—At the concert of Messrs. Herz and Sivori, last evening, there were assembled nearly four thousand persons, of the fashionable inhabitants of the city, strangers, officers of the steamship Union in grand costume, ko, They had visited the Tabernacle to hear those two wonderful artists, the greatest musicians now in the United States. The association of Herz and Sivori isthe best idea they have ever had, and every where they go they will attract crowded houses. The concert was the greatest affair of the season, and it will mark the musical annals of our city, for they were received with an enthusiasm difficult to be described, notwithstanding the disappointment at the non-appear- ance of Madame Fleury Jolly, who had been afflicted with hoarseness Every one was satisfied with the an- nouncement, that her Jace would be filled by the sweet little singer, Miss Julia Northall, and the celebrated French baritone of New Orleans, Mons.

Certainly, the ghost of Paganini was rejoiced yy hearing the little grand artiat, performing upon one string his “ Prayer of Moses.”’ at could we say to express our feelings upon such an admirable execution’ Words are not sufficient—our soul only could speak. This superb concert ended with the celebrated dao con- certant on William Teil, by Osborne and De Beriot, ex- ecuted by Herz and Sivori, in which the two exécutants alternatively obtained the universal applause of the au- dience. Let us not forget Rapetti and Timm, whose accompaniment was very remarkable. Messrs, Herz and Sivori will give another concert next week. All the dilettanti of our city are anxious to hear them again.

It appears that Justice Mitchell attached the cows from Crawford on a debt, and placed them in the cus- todpand care of Merritt, when Crawford took posses- sion of the Property ‘again, and drove them off to this city, where he was arrested and detained by Justice Ketcham, to await requisition on the charge of larceny.

It is very brilliant, with a red- ish appearance,and has a Northern declination o| y fourteen degrees. It is now making its nearest approac! to the earth, and will be in that position the middle of October, at which time its distance from the earth will be about fifty millions of miles. The direct motion of the planet apparently ceases on the first of October. Then its apparent retrograde or Westerly motion com- mences, and will continue until the third of December. It will then have attained its extreme retrograde, and will have passed the line of right ascension of the star Arietis, one of the lunar stars, from which it will bear nearly South, and its distance from it will be between ten and leven degrees, at which time it will er our ening. — meridian,at a quarter past nine o’olock in t!

Long Island, Canton, and Illinois special, closed firm at yes terday’s prices; Morris Canal advanced 4 per cent.; Harlom fell off 34 ; Nerwich and Worcester 4 ; Reading 3; and Farmers’ Loan }4. Illinois Canal Bonds, new issue, were offered at 33 per cent.; and there were sales of Indians State 5's, upon which the State pays four per cent. interest, at 53. The transactions at the first board were not very extensive, and so long as prices continue so much depressed, those who are able will hold on for an improvement. In the event of the news from the seat of war being favorable, the influence upon the stock market will be correspondingly favorable ; but in the event of ita being unfavorable, we do not anticipate any farther depression in prices, for we believe they have already touched bottom. ‘The National Bank has declared a semi-annual divi- dend of four per cent. The Boston Courier says that money is unusually abundant in that city, it also says, that “the weekly re- turns of the railway lines continue to exhibit immense receipts, outstripping, in some instances, the predictions of the most sanguine friends of internal improvements. ‘The Eastern, Maine, Fitchburg, Lowell, Worcester, Western, Providence, Old Colony, and Fall River, are all of them earning ample dividends, and are daily osta- blishing themselves in the public favor and confidence, ‘a8 safe channels for investment and revenue. The gain on the Western in the last week was $10,400, and the three past week shows $30,000 increase over the corres- ponding period of 1846. The estimated amount of re- ceipts for the present financial year, which closes on the 80th November, is @1.250,000, or $300,000 gross gein from which deduct one-third for increased expenses, and there remains $200,000, or five per cent., on the present share capital of four millions. Asthe net income last year was within a fraction of seven per cent., that of the present cannot be far from twelve, The July dividend was four, and if five be paid in January, three per cent. or one hundred and twenty thousand dollars can be ad- ded to the reserved fund, for contingencies. But even if the January dividend should be but 4 percent, the pre- mium on the new stock to be created, to which the stock- holders are entitled, will be equal toan extra dividend, probably of two per cent. A vast amount of capital has been expended on the railroads of Massachusetts, but like seed sown in a fertile soil, it is yielding an abundant reward, not only by the revenue derived from the trans- portation of merchandise, mails, and passengers, but also by the increase of all kinds of productive business, the enhanced value of real estate in tne city, and the common good of the commonwealth.”” The amount received for tolls on all the New York State canals, during the third week in September. eee + $126,698 87 + 106,096 27 Increase. + $20,602 60 ‘The aggregate amount received om the com mencement of navigation to the 22d of Weptember, in- clusive (145 days), 18... ... 6. ssee 0 oe + 82,541,212 60 During the same period in 1846 (160 days). . 1,777,322 98 Tnorease . . $763,889 62 ‘The following table shows the amount received for tolls during the third week in September, from the years 1840 to 1847, inclusive, and also the aggregate amount received from the commencement of navigation to the 22d of September, inclusive, during the same Same period in 1846 years :— Total to Sept 22.

It is impossible to predict what that city will be ten years hence. Our Western cities have grown so rapidly that we cannot keep pace with them in our cal- culations. The position of Austria as a commercial country has not been sufficiently understood, and a very erroneous impression exists relative to the extent of the foreign imports and exports of that nation. With an exceed- ingly limited sea coast, its full extent being only sixty geographical miles, it has an extent of mercantile marine proportionably greater than that of Great Britain. We annex a synopsis of the foreign trade of Austria, made up from official reports, for the purpose of placing that country in its proper rank among the commercial na- tions of the world:— Commence or Avstnia—Varvue or Imronts anp Ex- PORTS. ‘The estimated value of the Austrian imports, (for home consumption.) and the export of ite produce bas increased as follows:— ‘ Trarric BY Lanp ann Sra, cdmport for" Boport af onsumpiion. own Produces.

In point of fact, the value of the exports amounts to several millions more; the valuation of silks, &e., being made at considerably more than 50 per ovnt below their real worth. With Feepect to the Austrian traffic, the principal augmentation bas been by #ea increasing from £4 763,- 675 in 1841, to £6,153.761 in i thereby showing an improvement of nearly 30 per it in four years, or 754 per cent in one year. The gi difference between the maritime import ani port is fully elucidated by the fact that the Austrit ip only heavy articles of an inferior value, while they receive, in return, spices, and colonial and manufactured goods of a more costly de- scription. During the year 1841, 25,146 vessels, of 847,000 tons burthen, entered the ports of Austria. In (AF aed 1844, 29.094 vessels, of 1,005,000 tons burthen arrived; proving increase of about 18 per cent in the number of ves- eels, and 15 per ent on th mount of tonnage. vine ear 1844 the whole traffic of foreign an: pc in the Austrian port: amounted to 21,000 arrivals of 1,025,027 tons burthen, £13,396900 in value, the total import, ‘and transit included. This statement shows an ay rene barney of 4834 tons of the vessels ar- rived in the Austrian ports. The value of the merchandise ex by this .raf- fic amounted to £13 68. 8d per ton. The importance of the Austrian naval traffic can only be appreciated by referring to the extent of her sea coast, being not more geogray ioal miles, each of which would be in- than 60 geographictyent of 17,084 tons burthen, and £222,945 value. ods imported into Austria amounted bout 934 per cent on £17,958,500. beh ryt of £1681 600, the greater part, viz., 41,560,000 was on the goods entered for con- sumption, and was pea by the following articles, in the followin; . oni ee Of Mgrioulture ee per gent of value. ae Stuits for manufactured and semi: Manufac. commodities and Lanning « “ « of art...+. ‘The duties, in proportion to the population, amount, in Austria to 10%d. per head; and in England, where twenty-eight millions of inhabitants were taxed to the extent of £23,849,560, the proportion was no less than 178, per head.
