New York, Friday, Qetober 1, 1847. OUR ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY. SIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM THE SEAT OF WAR. The Weekly Herald will be published at nine o'clock to-morrow morning. It will be illustrated with two splendid en- gravings, one of the steamship Great Britain, as sheis rising fromthe Duadrum Sands, and the other of the Britannia, as she appeared un- dergoing repairs on the Sectional Dock. All the news of the week will be found in this number of the Weekly Herald. It will contain the very important news from the city of Mexico, brought by the special overland expresa to the New York Herald office. It will have a list of the deaths by yellow fever in New Orleans. Single copies, in wrapners, sixpence. Important from Mexico, Our special overland express from New Or- leans has placed us in possession of some very important intelligence from the city of Mexico. It is unfavorable ; the peace negotiations have fail- ed, hostilities recommenced, and more American blood shed. What is now to be done? There is only one correct course left for our goveroment to pursue. They have treated the Mexicans with as much kindness as one nation could possibly treat another; and yet we have been hambugged, and will continue to be hum- bugged and laughed at till we show the Mexicans what a war is really and emphatically meant to be. _We muat now destroy the city of Mexico; level it with the earth on which it now stands; serve Puebla, Perote, Jalepa, Saltillo and Mon- terey inthe same way; and then increase our demands till we insist on the perpetual possese- ion of the Castle of San Juan d’Ulfia as a key to the commerce of the Gulf of Mexico. This course would save hundreds of lives. Occupy all the sea ports on the Gulf, and on the Pacific, for revenue for the ptyment of the expenses of the war. There will be no child’s play in this. Such a course would compel the Mexcans to sue for peace. Nothing else will. All this may appear at first blush very severe, but is it not neccssary? We are in this war, and we must get out of it. No one wishes it to continue. We must therefore havea peace. We must conquer it; we must act promptlyyand en- ergetically,g and thus prevent the waste of life that has marked the victorious progress of our arms through Mexico. No more armistices. The last one was pro- perly granted; so was that at Monterey. But let us have no more. Tue Derarture or THE FRencn Sreaamr Union. — This elegant and well commanded steamer left her wharf yesterday afternoon, at ten minutes past one o’clock, and, without any accident, proceeded down the East River, having the American and French flags at the fore of each mast. Nothing particular happened during her trip to the Quarantine, where we landed, in company with several gentlemen belonging to that line of ocean steamers, among whom was the Marquis de Raigecourt, the President of the board of administration. The Union then put on full steam, and soon disappeared below the horizon. There are twenty-five passengers on hoard the steamer; her mail is very large, and Mr. Maurin, the royal mail agent, has settled the business which Mr. Thomas, his colleague, had but sketched; and, instead of himself receiving the letters and newspapers brought on board till the moment of the departure, he has obtained for this duty an agent of the American Post Office, who receives the postage. The Union has a cargo consisting of oils, cocoa, drugs, &c ; there are also $250,000 in specie on board. We wish the gallant Capt. Hebert and his oflicers a pros- perous and a quiet tri Aynvat Farr or tae American Instrruts.— We refer, with great pleasure, to the return of this important exhibition of the genius and in- dustry ot this country. We have every reason to be'ieve that this fair, the twentieth, will ex- cel those previously heid. No public show in the United States excites more solid and lasting pleasure than this. It consequeutly always powerfully attracts our citizens. It is alsoexceedingly valuable to those who desire to bring quickly into notice their newly iavented or improved articles of any de- scription; and many who have this opportunity to bring their articles before the public, have realized a prosperous demand. Advertising is by no means such an inducement to buy, as see- ing the articles themselyes—and there ia at Castle Garden such an immense number of visi- 1ers—probably over two hundred thousand— that any new or useful, or curious thing is more seen and examined in a day—than it would at the private place of its owner, be seen and ex- amined in years. Castle Garden is an excellent place for the ex- hibition. Its locality is central and capital. ApprTionaL PaRrticuLaRs oF THE WRECK oF rue Packet Suir Avsurn.—We have obtained from Mr. Richard H. Fisby a few more particu- lars‘ of the loss of the Auburn. The names of those lost, not before published, are as follows:— Henry Johnson, seaman, of Hanover, Germany.

Sergeant Higbee and Private Baker, who died on the passage, both had land scrip, which will be of value to their relatives and friends. Sergeant H. hasa wife residing in Newark, New Jersey, All those who are interested in any of the above unfortunates, can obtain a good deal of useful information of Mr. Fisby, at No. 31 Allen street. Distincursagp Arrivans in New Yorx.— Among the distinguished strangers now in the city, we notice Monsieur Le Marquis de Raige- court, President of the Council of Administra- tion of the French transatlantic steamers. This gentleman belongs to one of the oldest of the nobility of France. He is travelling with his son and some other members of his family. We learn that M. de R. is going to settle all the mat- ters which had caused so much trouble to the administration of M. M. Heroult and de Handel. We feel assured that all the little difficulty will be soon obviated, and for the best advantage of that company and the public. * Anri-Rentism.—We learn hat Gov. Young has removed the conditions from the pardon former- ly granted to 8. A. Boughton, M. Earle, J. Van Steenberg, and Edw. O’Connor, convicted of par- teipation in the Anti-Rent outrages in Columbia and Delaware counties, two years ago, “HIGHLY IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE CITY OF MEXICO, BY THE SPECIAL AND EXTRAORDINARY OVERLAND EXPRESS NEW ORLEANS TO BALTIMORE, AND THENCE TELEGRAPHIC TO THE NEW YORK HERALD OFFICE: FAILURE OF THE PHACH NWHGOTIaTiIonNs. THE RENEWAL OF HOSTILITIES .HE BATTLE OF CHAPOLTEPEO. THE AMERICAN TROOPS IN THE CITY OF MEXICO. Terrible Street Fighting. GEN, WORTH BADLY WOUNDED. WAR TO THH ENIFH. &o. dec, dic, The special and extraordinary overland ex- press from New Orleans for the New York Her- ald reached Baltimore last evening, with very late and important intelligence from the city of Mexico. Our special messenger immediately transmit- ted the news to this office, over the telegraphic wires, in order that the readers of the Herald might have it at once. The news is highly important, and unfavor- able, If it all be true, the war is not yet over! But here is our telegraphic despatch ; ‘The Telegraphic Despatch. Battivore, Thursday Evening, Sept. 30. The Mobile Herald of the 25th inst., just re- ceived by the overland express for the New York Herald, announces the arrival at Pensacola, on the evening of the 2st, of the brig Osceola, after a pessage of five days and a half from Vera Cruz. The Herald is indebted to a passenger from Pensacola for the Vera Cruz Sun of Anahuac of the 16th inst., and also for a letter from its Pen- sacola correspondent. Verbally the Herald learns that there had been arevolt at Puebla, and that the Americans at that place and at the city of Mexico, [if we rightly understand the telegraphic despatch] had lost two thousand men. The Herald states that hostilities recommenc- ed on the 8th inst., in the evening, and that there had been a brush between a fragment of the American army and the best of the Mexican troops. The following letter appears in the Sun of Anahuac :— Purnia, Sept. 11, 1847. Mr Dear Son: I promised you before I left Vera Cruz, two months ago, that! would, from time to time, if 1 was fortunate enough to get news, to drop you a few words. I hope that these few lines wi}! victoriously pass through the chaparral, mosquitoes, &c. &c., and what is worse, the guerillas of Cerro Gordo, Puente Nacional, and all the hiding places of these desperate men. Thave now to tell you that letters arrived here from Atlixoo, [probably Atlisco, about fifteen miles from Pu- ebla, and on the road from Cholulu.—Hexaup ) stating that an express had arrived there on its way to Usjaca, sent by General Leon, and that ‘the sald expross had brought letters from the city of Mexico, dated the tb instant. These letter state that the propositions made by Mr. Trist were rejected, or at least one portion of them, and that hostilities had recommenced on the 8th, in the afternoon. and that @ battle had been fought on that evening bya few hundred men of Gen. Scott's army and four of the picked regiments of the Mexican army vi: the line, the 3d and ath regimenrs of Li; one regiment of the National Guards, all commanded by Gen Leon—that the enemy's forces had been badly used up, and that their loss exceeded 2% 0. The letters sey that Mr. Trist’s propositions were these. That the citizens of the United States would not have anything to claim from Mexico for damages ocoasioned by this war; that the United States would have the pri- Vilege of establishing two factories in Upper Californie; and that the Mexican Government could, after that time, [the time is not given in the despatch—Hrnatn) if it choose, renew this article of the Treaty. This was not accepted. Then Mr. Trist, unclothing himself of his official pow- er, remarked to the Mexican Commissioners, that he thought that it would be much brtter for V.exico to cede the whole of Upper Californiato the United States Sor which that ernment would certainly pay fifieen or twenty millic dollars. This would probably have been agreed upon, if the foliowing ariicle hai met with the as- sent of the Mexicans, that the Texan Boundary Line would run along from the mouth of the Rio Grande, from the left side to the right side of the Rio Gila, But this last proposition wae rejected; the Mexicans would not yield one inch of ground the other side of the Nueces. The commissioner, Mr. Trist, then asked for forty- eight days time to consider, as he said he was not authorised to accept such a proposition, but the Mexi- cans replied that they would give but five days and no more. On the fifth day of the conference, the 7th inst, « let- ter was written by General Santa Anna to General Scott accusing him of breaking the armistice on some trifling pretext. General Soott replied, making similar charges against Sante Anna. On the 8th inst, in the afternoon, a boily ofa few hun- dred men of the American army were sent to attack Chapultepeo; they there encountered a large force of the enemy’s best troops, and a terrible fight ensued, in whieh the Mexicans received as usual a good thrashing. General Leon, who commanded the Mexicans, was wounded, and General Dalderis of the National Guard, was killed, ‘The small number of the Americans, who, according to the Moxican report, fought like devils, retired to Ta- cubaya, leaving five wagons behind them. Some of these ha no wheels, while others no horses, The lose of the Americans is said to be comparatively small, A proclamation or manifesto, as they call it, was issued by General Herrera, Governor of the city of Mexioo, re- commending the citizens, men, women, and children, to collect stones and carry them to the roofs of the houses, and thence throw them at the Americans if they entor- od the city ‘The annexed is from the correspondent of the Mobile Herald, stationed at Pensacola : Prensacora, Sept, 23, 1847. The brig Osceola arrived at the Navy Yard last eve- ning, after a passnge of five ands half days from Vera Crus, She has brought Jate and unfavorable news from the army of General Scott. It seems that hostilities were renewed on the Sth inst., Sante Anna and General Scott mutually charging each other with # violation of the armistice, According to the last accounts our troops hud possession of two streets, and had driven the principal partof the Mexican force in or towards the Plaza, Ourtroops had suffered greatly from the fire of the enemy, stationed in windows ond on the ronfs of houses,and Gen. Worth was badly but not mortally wounded. Our loss since leaving Puebla is estimated at three thousend men. The proposition of Mr. Trist for the cession of # por- tion’ of California fer © considerstion of twenty mi. lions of dollars bad been agreed to by the Mexican com- missioners, but another proposition, fizing the Rio Grande as the boundary on this side,was peremptorily re- Sused. It is said thet General Paredes is om the road between Vera Crus and the city of Mexico with «large force of guerillas. ‘The Sun of Anahuac of the 1éth inst., says, that troops have been arriving in great numbers from the Brazos for the previous five or six days, and it does not doubt but that in the next five or six days there will be from two to three thousand men ready to march into the interior. These accounts are derived from the Sun of Anahuac of the 16th inst., and brought by the Osceola, and from verbal communications from Mr. Dimond to the Capt. of the O. at the moment of leaving. I have no doubt of their accuracy. The nows reached Vera Cruz by the Orizaba route. on Tae Lavuncn or tHe Hermann.—At half past one yesterday, the large steamship Hermaun was successfully launched from the yard of her builders, Messrs. Westervelt and McKay. The H., as we have stated, on several occa- sions, belongs to the Ocean Steam Navigation Company, and is the second vessel, under the government mail contract, in the Bremen and Southampton line. Her model is said, by those having taste and experience, to be without a fault. Her appearance on the water, after the launch, was easy, light, and graceful. Nothing in the nautical line now extant can surpass the well drawn fine proportions of this noble vessel. She was immediately taken upon the Sectional Dock, where she will be coppered, preparatory to re- cciving her machinery. She measures, according to the carpenter’s calculations, 2250 tons, 245 feet long, 41 feet beam, 3lfeet deep The engines are equal in power to those now in the Washington. ' The interior arrangements of the ship are under the direction of Capt. Crabtree, who, as we have before stated, is to command her. ProrestanT Episcopal, Convention.—It will be seen by our report of the proceedings of the Protestant Episcopal Convention, that, contrary to the expectation of every one, as much as to that of the members, that it adjourned sine die Jast evening, after a short session of two days. Before the waters became troubled, or the pas- sions or prejudices of the members got excit- ed, a series of resolutions were introduced by the Rev. Mr. Forbes, virtually leaving to the general convention, which will shortly meet, the case of the suspended bishop, for final adju- dication. Under all the circumstances, this was the beat action they could have taken in the mat- ter, and we congratulate the diocese on the hap- py turn which matters took. Navau.—The U.S. ship Ohio, Capt. String- ham, from this city, with the Hon. Mr. Ford, newly appointed Minister to Brazil, on board, arrived at Rio de Janeiro on the 6th of August. She would proceed in a short time on hey course. She is destined for the Pacific. | Sporting Intelligence. Thr Racers—Tue Nontn against THe Sourn.—Ex#? cepting the great race between Eclipse and Henry, in 183, and the contest between Boston and Fashion, in 1842, we never saw so much interest manifest in the sporting world, as is at present shown respecting the coming meeting between Passenger and Fashion. Our city is rapidly filling up with the admirers of the turf, from all parts of the country, as it is the prevalent opinion that this race will be the most closely contested of any previous one, between the high-mettled coursers of these rival sections of the land in the attainment of speed. Should Fashion not be able, on the coming oc- casion, to beat Passenger, and recover the laurels taken from her by Peytona, then, we fear, the North will have to yield tha meed of victory to the South, for its supe- riority in the improvement of the breed of the race horse. A gentleman, who witnessed an effort of Passen- ger, y afternoon, in his exercise, represents his speed as astonishing. The betting on the affair appears to be about two to one on Fashion, but all that ir offered at that figure is rapidly taken by the friends of the Southerner. ‘Mr. Luird’s stables are expected on Long Islagd to- day. Centrevitte Course, L. L—Trorrina ve. Pacina.— The unequalled Lady Suffolk, being unable to finda competitor in her legitimate sphere of action, on equal terms, is vompelled to enter the lists with nags of dif- farent gait. She contends, this afternoon, with the celebrated pacing horse Roanoke, for a sum of $450— two mile heats, in harness. The epeedof these nage is s0 nearly alike that the betting is even on the result. It is supposed, from the fine condition that each is in that the time will be brought down to the lowest notch. 'e would advise all who can to witness the affair. See ad- vertisement for the cars, kc City Intelligence. Davicnon THe Painter ano LiTHoGRAPHER, bas sent us a very handsome copy of one of his lithographs. It is the portrait of Signori Arditiand Botesini, those won- derful players of the Havana opera company, who made such a sensation here when they performed on their re- spective instruments. the violin and contrabaseo. The Iikeuesses are reall: striking ; the design very good, and the execution admirable. ‘e advise all the lovers of music and of art, to purchase copies of this lithograph. Fines.—A fire occurred at 6 o’clock yesterday morn- ing, in the grocery store, corner of Grand and Crosby streets. A clerk, named Adam Lanet, wan in the store intoxicated at thetime. The fire was extinguished by Captain Kissane and the police, with pails of water, An- other fire broke oat at No. 235 Spring street, at seven o'clock yesterday morning, and a child belonging toa Mr Gilman, was badly burnt. It soondied. The build- ing was slightly damaged. Another fire occurred at No. 233 Sixteenth street, yesterdey morning. It wav promptly extinguishrd. Damage trifling. Supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Fine. Comrany.—The Sixth Ward Volunteers, a fine and able bodied set of men, paserd our offloe yesterdn: evening about 6 o'clock, headed by an excellent ban They had been on a target excursion at Hoboken, and their target exhibited strong proof of their prowess and bigh capabilities as marksmen. Fortunate Rescuer —An exciting scene took place at the corner of Broadway and Courtlandt streets, yester day noon, which bid fair. at one time, to be of very seri ousimport. A pair of horses and rarriage were pro- cveding down Broadway, with two female inmates, and when opposite the Howard House the carriage came in collision with a coal cart proceeding in the opposite di rection. The shock was sufficiently severe to break the pole of the carringo; the horses becoming alarmed, im- mediately started on @run, and the vehicle being’ un- manageable, in consequence of the accident, was pushed against a post at the corner of Courtlandt street, and broken to pieces. The horses immediately started up Broadway, on the sidewalk, Gregging the wreck of the carriage, and its alarmed inmates with them, who were only saved from a dreadful fate by the Intrepidity and daring of a city porter whose name we learned to be Bornett, who has license No.6 Had it not been for his daring, we cannot estimate the amount of damage that would have been done from a pair of frantic animals passing up Broacway at that hour, and richly does he deserve a reward. DeatnH ny seing Burnep.—Coroner Walters was called yesterday to hold an inquest at No. 235 Sprin; street, on the body of a girl 6 years old, named Sar Maria Gilmore, whose clothes accidentally took fire du- ring the absence of her parents, and was thereby so se- verely injured that she expired shortly a terwards. Ver- dict accordingly. Accroent at Drowxto.—The Coroner held an inquest also upon the body of Evan Davis, aged 50 years, whoon Wednesday last engaged eon board the ship Sher dan, for Liverpool, and about 9 o'clock that eve- ning he fell from the bow of the veel and was drowned. Verdict, death by accidental drowning. There will bea free exhibition of dahlias to-day at Thorburn’s Seed and Fiour «tore, No. 11 John street.— It will be well worth witnessing. Brooklyn City Intelligence. Cuanter Goxvention,—The members of this Con- vention assembled at the usual hour last evening, and after disposing of several papers of trifling importance, the propriety ef submitting to the voters at the ne: general election, or a special one to be called for that purpose, their approval or rejection of the proceedings of he convention, previoxs to sending the same to the Legis- lature for the action of that body, was debated; after cons'- derable discussion, a «pecial committee of three, oonsist- Ing of Messrs. Cross, Humphrey and Dana, were appoint- ed to report in relation to the same. The Convention then sgain went into « committee of the whole, for the purpose of proceeding with their consideration of the report of the committee pro} asa Public Schools.

Ping TursTre.—This evening Mrs. Mowatt in to take a farewell benefit at the Park, on which occasion will be presented her new and successful play of “ Armand, or the Childof the People,” and the comedy of the“ Homey Moon.” Mrs. Mowatt’s play of “ Armand” has received the stamp of excellence at the hands of her auditors. Ite performance has been witnessed by critical audiences, the most censorious have failed to find anything in the play of which to make capital, while the impartial and the friends of the authoress have been charmed with the delicate beauties of the composition, and the admirable dramatic effect of the piece. It should not be for. gotten that Mra. Mowatt is an American; that her to the literature of the country, my that moe about to visit Europe for the an ‘bani ti it to the ordeal of criticism There. I Ss Gates be hoped that at least her com- ‘will on the occasion of her taking leave of them oeapelly ‘avd by their countenance add to the encour- ment which has already received. But aside from these considerations, there is inducement enough in the play iteelf to draw a good house There are, indeed, but few dramas presented to the public which are 60 unex- ceptionable, and s0 pec! ly adapted to the tastes cit sont ments of the current age. The mest ex- alted sentiments are rehearsed in pleasing language. Viow is reproved in terms which, while they offend not, are to the point. Andeven the highest moral senti- mects are freulcated in so attractive a form that even the sxcred desk might appropriately afford a theatre from whence to promulgate them. No parent but might with the utmost propriety place his children in the way of receiving the lessons which are here taught, and no patriot but might listen with satis- faction to the toschings of the political trutns which are contained in the language of The Child of the people. No adress is made to the baser feelings. No Flossing over ef reprehensible acts; no soft names given to shameless malconduct; but with the boldness of virtue is virtue advocated; and, with s whip of censure roundly ‘applied is wanton wickedness condemned. ‘Lhere ia no fear for the future reputation of “Armand.” It has the stamp of and the mark of true merit. Let it not be suid, then, that we failed to give an unbesitating ap- val to our countrywoman’s work, even before it had Ceas proved abroad. The fair beneficiary deserves reward at our hands before she leaves these shores, oud to-night, and the Park theatre is the appropriate time and place to award it. Bowery Tusatae.—Tho “Siege of Monterey,” with all ite splendid scenery and incidents, is one of the most taking spectacles that has ever yet been got up at the old Bowery.

Im our opinion, unless the statute gave the authority in express terms to the courts and officers of this State. it cannot be suid to exist, and on reading the words of the act, we hold that it appiies sole- ly to the courts and officers of the United States. It it larly adapted for such exhibitions, and the splendid and accurate scenery with which it is filled, as well as the excellent acting of the company—which by the bye has been doubled ia number expressly to give full effect to the various combats und incidents of the Mexican war which are represented in this picce. It will be re- peated again this evening, and we have no doubt that Mr. Jackson will find difficulty in limiting its run, as the audiences are nightly immense. and many have to turn away for lack of room, Thiscan be avoided, however, by purchasing tickets in the day time and early part of the evening. CuatHam Tueatre,—The drama of the “ Lonely Man of the Ocean,” has proved highly attractive, both from its intrinsic merit, as well as from the excellent manner in which it is put on the stage and acted by the company. The dances inoldental to the piece, under the direction of W. A Barnes, are very pictur ie and beautiful. This drama will be repeated to-night, and the operatic drama of “Rob Roy,” will conclude tho entertainments. Tue Ravers at Paumo’s Orena Hovse.—This is posi- tively the last night of the Ravels at Palmo’s. We have received the following note announcing the fact :— To rae Evitor or THe Henary:— ‘Sin—A report having been circulated that the Ravel Family will appear on Saturday, I beg to contradict the rumor, and assure you and the public to-morrow night (Friday) is the last time I shall ever appear on any stage.

In order to arrive at # conclusion on this point, we must look at the words used. If Congress had intended to arm State offlcers with this power,, the same words would have been used as ie the —— act, but from the difference of the wording in both act, we hold. therefore, that the power can only be exercised by the United States officers, and as there are such of- ficers in every place where the exigency could arise, it follows that there would be no necessity to resort to State officers If this court had any doubt that Mr. Drin ker was an officer under this act, or had jurisdiction, in looking into the papers, we find another fatal error. It is nowhere a.leged that Brani deserted ta ay port of the United States, and if it nowhere appears that Rruni deserted in the United States, that fact above would be sufficient to nullify his arrest. The order then must be that in the case of the certiorari, directed to Justice Drinker, his proceedings must be set aside, and in the case of the certiorari, directed by Judge Edwards, his de- cision must be reversed, and Paul Bruni discharged.

The whole will conclude with, for the first time, a, series of magnificent tableau vivant, called “Cain and Abel, or the First Fratricide.” This beautiful representation executed by the Ravels, and taken from the painting in the Gallery of the Louvre, in Paris, has been considered, by those who have wit- nessed it, as the most ‘fect consummation of the ar- tist’s ideas. We should be quite astenished if, with such a great attraction, the theatre was not entirelly filled. Cincus, Bowery AmrnirHzatny.—The entertain- ments at this establishment are peculiarly taking, com- Dining, as they do, pantomime, equestrianism, feats of strength, gymnastic exercises, negro melodics, dancing, and a variety ofother amusements. Mr. Tryon, by thus judiciously mingling all the most popular performances ‘and engaging the very best artists, such us Signor Carlo, the‘Holland Acrobat family, Jobn Gossin, and the best equestrian talent, takes the best plan of doing what is proverbially difficult, viz, pleasing everybody; and we look upon bis perfeot succesain achieving as not the least wonderful feat performed in his house But so it is—he does it. bd Mapame Bisnor’s Coxcent.—The Tabernacle last night was filled completely by a fashionable and intelli- gent audience who were attracted thither by the pros- pect of Madame Bishop’s concert, and from what we saw and heard, we are convinced that their expectations were fully realized, for whut with the delightful singing of the lady and the splendid execution on the harp of the veteran Bochsa, the most prolonged and enthu astic cheering and applause was given freely. The bal- lad of the “Banga of Guadalqaiver,” was one of the sweetest things we bave heard for some time, and the selections from Donizetti, Mercadante, aud Meyerbeer, gave the greatest satisfaction, as the frequent encorings testified What shall we xy of M. Bochsa, that eloquent performer? The whole civilized world has heard of his tame. and the New Yorkers, by their applause, have de- moustyated that they, too, know how to appreciate his genius. Long may he live to delight the world with his music. His execution of the Mosaique Musicale, in the first part of last night’s concert, completely enchained the audience,aud at its close.their enthusiasm seemed to kvow nobounds Mr Brough also came in for his share persons present, and altogether we may say Madame Bishop’s concert was a decided hit. Signor Butz at tax Society Lisaany.—This enter- taining professor of natural magic and ventriloquism, still holds his own at the Society Library, where he will to-night present an entirely new programme of feats, each one of which is worth the price of admission There will be quite a gathering of his admirers to-night we bave doubt, particularly as to-morrow will ve the last night of his performance. vi Dr Courven’s Living Statuany.—At the Apollo Rooms, is one of the most graceful exhibitions we have had in our city for some time. The manner in which the original groupings are arrayed,evince great knowledge of the picturesque and beautiful. We are glad to see that the Doctor's exhibition is well patronized. Miss Hansex.—There has lately arrived in this city a vocalist, said to be possessed of the most remarkable ability. We allude to Miss Isadora EK. Hansen. This young lady isan American, and has just returned to her native country after an absence of several years, spent abroad in the study of her profession. Those who have had the pleasure of hearing her sing, are constrained to say, that in point of extent and quality of voice, and briitane of execution, they have never listened to her equal. The compaes of her voice is said to be astonish- ip oes four octaves, which she reaches without effort—and she executes the most difficult variations for the violin with singular ease and accuracy, as was pro- ved by her quietly singing one of De Beriot’s celebrated pigges. Our citizens will, it is said, soon have an oppo: tunity of hearing Miss Hansen, who appears destine: according to all accounts, to show to the world that we can ful the end highest talent in musio, as well as soiences. in all other arts Proresson Ristey.—Our readers and the public have, no doubt, heard of the immense success which has at- tended the performance of this gentleman and his talent- ed children in all parts of Europe. The Professor is one of our untrymen, and has, probably, gained as much attention abroad as any American whoever crossed the ocean. He has rate returned with his charming boys to this the land of his birth, and now, we believe, con- templates commencing his exhibitions bere in our city. It may not be uninteresting to state few facts rogarding his career in Europe, that is the latter part of it, for from beginning to end it has been one series of triumphs. He entered Italy in May, 1846, by way of Leghorn and Florence, and left it in June of this year; during which time he and bis sons performed at all the pal towns aud cities Fagg vA ned number were Naples, Rome, Florence, Leg- horn, Bologna, Parma, Venice, Trieste, Genoa, and others of less note; and, in addition, to many private represen- tations, he gave more than two hund: public ones in the largest and best conducted theatres in the world; the toost impartially rigid and critical audiences, and each and every one of these representations was Le ary & suo cessful. At Parma he and bis sons were honored by the especial attention of the ex-Emprees Maria Louisa, who attended all their ances; and on the night of his son's benefit, sent them 50 Napoleons in gold. Man: more such incidents might be related of his career. It has been one of the most suocessiul on record, and we have no doubt that on his and his sons’ appearance here in our city shortly, he will give good evidence of its hav- ing been merited, Cunisty’s Minstrexs.—This celebrated troupe of Ethiopian Mclodists arrived in this city last evening, and are to commence @ series of their popular concerts on Monday evening next, at their former place of exbib.- tion, Mechanics’ Hall, Broadway. This announcement will afford wuch pleasure to their numerous admirers. Herz and Sivori’s concert, at Philadelphia, on Wed- of ‘the musical nesday evening, was the 0 season in that city. There is enid to have been present a very large and brilliant audience.

After the decisions were given, Mr. Justice McCoun said the Court had passed upon ail cases which had been argued before them during the term, except one, (the cause of Geo. T. Green vs. Margaret McGowan.) It is an ejectment suit, bi tht to recover jon of premises sold by the Corporation of New York, for non- payment of assessments. [tis a case involving import- ant principles on which other causes depended, and they had determined to hold it over for farther consideration until the November term, with the hope that the Court of Appeals, before which there was a similar cause, in- volving some of the principles involved in this cause, would, by that time, give a decision, so that the Court might have further grounds upon which to base their decision. The Court then adjourned. Surerion Covrt in Chambers.—Botore Chief Justice Oakley. In re Robert Stevens —In this case Stevens enlisted in the United States army, under the age of 18 years. A writ of habeas corpus was granted, on the ap- plication of his parent, havo him discharged, on the ground of infancy. When the parties appeared before the Judge, young Stevens insisted upon remaining with his regiment. Old Mr. Stevens finding that his son was determined to serve out his term of enlistment, consent- ed, and he was accordingly sent back to Governor's Ial- and In some time after he changed his mind, and a se- cond writ was gramted by Judge Vanderpoel.

Thursday, Sept. 30.6 P, a. ‘The money market continues in a very quiet state. The banks discount freely all the good short business paper offering, and loans are made in the street at five and six percent. Good stocks are firmly held, while the fancies fluctiiate @ fraction from day to day, just sufficient to keep the brokers in salt. We do not avticipate any change one way or the other. until we have later advices from the seat of war or from Europe. Everytbing is shaking ia the wind, and nothing short of a favorable breeze frcm some quarter will stiffen them.
