‘The Weekiv Herald, The Weekly Herald will be ready to-morrow morning, and will contain the recent highly im- portant, aews from England; the latest news from the seat of war; the Mexican documents connected with Mr. Trist’s unsuccessful mis- sion of peace; and a general summary of every other description of interesting news; besides an engraving of the capture of the town of Pa- nueo, in Mexico, and one of a scene in the Fair of the American Institute at Castle Garden. ‘The Episcopal General Convention. On reference to our report of yesterday’s pro- ceedings of the Episcopal General Convention, our teaders will see that the case of the suspend- ed bishop was taken up and referred to a joint special committee of seven, to report on the best measures to be adopted to remove the evils un- der which the diocese is suffering. . This is the first movement by the bishop’s friends, and it is generally supposed that they will follow it up, and have that functionary res- tored to his office if possible. We look forsome excitin scenes when the committee make their report, which will be today or tomorrow. Our readers may depend upon seeing the pro- ceedings accurately reported from day to day in this journal. Our Relations with Mexico..The Destiny of the Two Repubites: The doom of Mexico is at length sealed, and by her own hand. She cannot make war. She will not make peace. She must be subdued. This summary of her fate and of its provo- cation. But what shall we do with the country when we shall have subdued it ? Th @ momentous question which presses upon the minds of our people, with startling force at this moment, Previous to the failure of the late negotiations, there was still a hope that Mexico might be induced by the moderation of the terms proposed by our government, to cease her insane strife, and listen to the dictates of reason. That expectation has been disappoint- ed. In the dim vista of futurity there is not a gleam of hope that her insatiable hostility can be quenched, except by gaining such advantages over this nation as it is totally chimerical for her to expect. The question then is, shall we suffer injury, or shall the nationality of Mexico be annihila- ted? It is e grave and serious question, and already it has occupied the attention of tne Cabinet at Washington, to the exclusion of every. thing else of minor importance. The deliberations of that body will have a tremendous influence on the future fate of both countries. Now it is that the decisive step isto be taken. Congress can- not be consulted, and the Executive must take immediate actian. There is but one course to pursue. If we turn back, or even look back,we fall. Tobe saved we must take a bold leap. In view of the impos- sibility of bringing Mexico to terms, we must now anticipate the necessity that must at some future period arise ot occupying the whole coun- try in perpetuity. sTo have advocated such a atep hitherto, would have been foolish and impolitic. Negotiations were in progress which might have a successful issue. To tell Mexico, during the pendency of these negotiations, that we must have every foot of her soil, would have been to render abortive every effort to negotiate a peace. Under such circumstances it would have been extremely dangerous and wicked to declare that the whole of Mexico must be ours. Circumstances have since changed. If now existed, as did then, any hope or prospect of peace, it would be equally wicked to talk of absorbing the whole country, a procedure which cannot be justified except on the plea of stringent necessity. But if this neces- sity do exist, then can there be no doubt, no hesitancy as to our course. It is clear that to save their capital the Mexi- cans would have sacrificed much. If the war should be prosecuted till doomsday, no crisis can arise that would press more weightily upon them the expediency of making peace. If they did not yield to this weighty inducement, to what can they be expected to yield? Aguin, they not only retused to accede to our terms, but refused to treat except on terms inadmissible by us. Our terms will never again be so moderate, and there is no reason to believe that their tenacity to their own will ever be less... Every day that passes renders the improbability of peace more strong, and soon that improbability will be converted into impossibility. But the two coun. tries cannot maintain an endless strife. One must yield. The United States, of course, cannot yield, and Mexico will not. It will happen then, as ithas always happened in like cases, that the stronger will subjugate the weaker. There will be no alternative. There is no middle course between a disgraceful surrender of claims, in support of which the best blood of the country has flowed, and a universal and permanent occu- pation of Mexico. This will be truly no holiday pastime. It will be a work of toil and trouble, and will take many years in the accomplishment. A force must be poured into the country, sufficiently powerful to overawe resistance. Every state government must be overthrown, and new go- vernments, half military, half territorial, must be erected. A uniform tariff must be enforced in every port. The public mines must be seized and worked, and rendered profitable. The gue- rillas must be swept from the roads; and under the protection of our eagles, commerce and in- dustry must be encouraged where they already exist, and given birth to where they do not. The people must be rendered fully secure in the pursuit of their daily avovations; and the coy maiden, Peace, must be wooed by degrees to clasp our mailed hand, and unite with us in pro- moting the true interests of Mexico. Every avenue to the interior should be opened. The communication between San Luis Potosi and Tampico should be cleared of all obstructions. From Vera Cruz to Acapulco is but a six days’ journey, and over this road the lighter articles of commerce could reach the Pacific in eighteen days from New York. An annuul revenue of from ten to twelve millions at least could be raised in Mexico. This is the lowest estimate, and there is reason to believe that it would be much greater. Under the old lumbering prohi- bitory system in force under Mexican rule, the revenues amounted to twelve millions. A jadi- cious eystem would make them much larger re- vente. Mexico exports fourteen millions of bullion annually, principally to England. This, instead of going to England, would, in case Mexico were in our possession, necessarily come to the United States, and thus the third great staple me would be added to the other two princi- Pal ones—cotton and corn—with which w alfeady supply the world This would - the United States complete commercial supremac among the nations of the earth We aireedy feed and clothe the world ; we would then su 4 ply ‘it with the precious metals This would give us immense advantages as an importio country, bullion being everywhere eltihies free of duty. It isa sorgeous prospect, this annexation of ail Mexico. It were more desirable that she should come te ns voluntarily ; but as we shall have no ‘ hoo! peace until she be annexed, Jet it come, even [ere thongh foree be necessary, at first, to bring her. Like the Sabine virgins, she will soon learn to love her ravisher, Tue Case or Pavi Baunr.—One of the evening papers of Friday last, in noticing the recent decision ¢f the Supreme Court in this case, mentions, as one of the errors in the proceedings, that the affidavit on which Justice Drinker issued his warrant, aid not state that the prisoner had deserted in any part of the United States. This is not cor- rect; for Justice Drinker issued his warrant on a requisition of the French Vice Censul, and not on any affidavit. The opinion of the court, in fact, is that because the statute of the United States does not, in express terms, confer autho- rity on State magistrates, such authority in them does not exist ; and because it is no where in the papers alleged that Bruni deserted in the United States, the proceedings are invalid; and the opinion is based upon the idea, that all the pro- ceedings were those of Justice Drinker, and only under the statute. This opinion not only reverses the acts of Justice Drinker, and the decision of Judge Ed- wards, (of the Supreme Court,) but also virtually reverses the decisions of Judge Oakley, of the, Superior Court, and of Judge Edmonds, of the Supreme Court. Let us see how far this last decision is;tenable. The proceedings in the case, in the first in- stance, were exclusively those of the French Vice Consul, who acted under the existing treaty between France and the Wnited States, which authorises him to cause to be arrested in the United States, deserters from French ships, no matter where they deserted ; to invoke the aid of all officers, courts, and magistrates, compe- tent; and to detain them three months from the date of arrest, before sending the deserters home. Thistreaty is the only guide, the only law recognised by him, or by the French nation. Any statute, in part or in whole, abrogating or impairing thie treaty, without the consent of the French nation, is a violation of the treaty. The Vice Consul in this case made his requisi- tion in strict conformity to the treaty, and there- fore rightfully omitted the allegation which the Supreme Court has deemed essential under the statute. The requisition is not under the statute, and the statute cannot control the Vice Consul in his act of making it; nor can he be responsible for the erroneous declarations of the magistrate to whom he applies, in the warrants that he may issue in virtue of it: The subsequent proceed- ings (whatever may be the statements of the ma- gistrates to the contrary,) except only so far as they are in aid of the treaty, and of the requisi- tions of the Vice Consul under it, are not under the statute, but under the treaty, and are to be contrelled by its provisions, and not by the sta- tute, otherwise than to add means of enforcing it. In fact, thisis the professed object of the statute, and therefore the clause which declares that the requisition must contain an allegation that the desertion occurred in the United States, and that the deserter cannot be detained more than two months from the date of the arrest, are in derogation of the treaty, and virtually an ab- rogation of parts of the same; they are therefore inconsistent with the intent of the statute, and utterly inapplicable. The declaration ot Judge Drinker, that he was proceeding under the sta- tute, when, in fact, as the requisition demon- strates, he was acting in aid of the Vice Consul, under the treaty, can only be regarded as sur- plusage, and cannot vitiate a valid proceeding. In respect to the competency of the magistrate. Why authority, in express terms in a statute, is required to confer jurisdiction on State magis- trates in cases of this kind, except by compari- son of the verbiage of this statute and the law ot naturalization, does not appear by the opinion ot the court; and it will be difficult, if not impracticable, by legal authority, to sustain this position, in opposition to the authorities tothe contrary. But on reference to the si tute itself, it appears that in express terms it declares, that it shall be the duty of any court, judge, justice, or other magistrate, having au- thority to issue warrants, to cause the person to be arrested, &c. How then can it be correctly id, that the statute does not give the authority in express terms’? If Justice Drinker is a ma- gistrate (State or United States,) with authority to issue warrants, is he not included in the word any! Is he not so meant to be? Included in this case, are questions of such im- portance as to render it one of high and solemn consideration. Whether the treaty between this country and the French nation, in good faith performed by the latter, shall be obstructed or avoided in its performance on our part; and the consuls of the French nation, after after being involved in complicated, laborious and expen- sive litigation, fail in their efforts to obtain its performance, by reason of the alleged errors, or by reasan of the diversity of opinion of our own magistrates or judges, although they, the con- suls, have in behalf of their nation done all that is required of them; wuethera statute can be passed in part or whole, directly or indirectly abrogating, or violating, or impairing, a treaty solemnly made with a foreign nation, without the consent of both parties; whether a treaty conferring powers on the consuls to arrest and to call to their aid any magistrate, restricts him to invoke only United States magistrates; these are amongst the questions that will be solved by the ultimate result; questions deeply interesting to every American citizen, anxious that the treaties of his country shall be correctly and carefully performed.

Accepted. Of Committee on Annual Taxes, recommending that the assessment roll for the year 1847, as presented by the Comptroller, be confirm The ber nhle md of the Tenth inquired if St. John’s Park was included in the assessment roll. He under- stood that the inbabitants residing in that vicinity had their private keys, and went in and out at pleasure He thought that fact made it private property, and as such, it was subject to taxation. ~ No one, except thore belonging to Trinity church, or some favored one. would be allowed to inhale the air of St John’s Park. For his nd always would be, for equa! d privileges low citizens ; and, he- books were confirmed, he would move to send id that the committee should report to the next meeting whether St. John’s Park was taxable pro- perty or not. Alderman Frawxtry said the supervisors had no pow- er to send back the books, as the powers of the arsensors are now spent, and the assessment roll cannot be altered The Board of Supervisors can oly equalize the taxes on the different is, but they cannct add or take from the assesament roll; moreover, it was necessary that they should be now confirmed; he thought. however, that the question whether St. Jobn’s Park should or should not be taxed, was avery fit subject for enquiry by a Com- mittee of this Board, and also how far Trinity Church was justified in granting exclusive privileges to any indi- viduals; if such @ resolution was put in a separate form he would vote for it. After a lengthy discussion, it was referred toa bs sed Committee. Alderman McEtnzatn moved that so much of the re- port as had reference to a free academy, should be stricken out, and be referred to the Committee on An nual Taxes, with power to employ counsel, &o., which was carried. and further action on the remainder of the report was deferred to Monday next ‘he election for papers to print the laws for this coun- RA enacted during the last session of the Legislature,was then gone into. The Tribune had 7 votes; the Com- mercial Advertiver, 4; The Evening Pest, 3; and the Globe, 3 The proprietors of the Tribune and Commer- cial were elected. The Board then adjonrned to Mon- day evening next. To tHe Epitor or rue Henatp: Sin:—Can you inform the public why the committee on the Fire Department have prevented the firemen from attending the procession of the Washington Monument Assoviation, upon the occasion of thw laying of the cor- ner stone of seid monument, with their engines, hose carriages. &c.? the committee being very willing, (be- cause lew pm not the power to prevent it) that the firemen should go, but without their apparatus. If it is for fear of a fire, whilst the deparvment is out of town, of what benefit will the engines, &o , be in the city, with- out persons to convey them to the fire? or, if taken there, how many persons will they find with philanthrepy enough to expose themselves in extinguishing the flames, should they even understand how to put the engines to work? The firemen by being debarred from Hog their apparatus will not make their appearance ; ed the public will thus lose the opportunity ot seeing the finest procession that ever took place in this country ; and it is very proper that we should get up aslarge a procession as possible upon such an occasion. Should the proces- sion be well gotten up, without the aid of the Fire De- partment, the above mentioned committee might well - “ Non nobis Domine october 7th, 1847. A DOWN-TOWN FIREMAN.

Quotations for stocks are steadily settling down. Du- ring the past week the decline bas been very large, and from appearances we should judge that the bottom had not yet been touched. At the first board to-day Long Island advanced % per cent; Canton 1; Farmers’ Loan ; Harlem 1; Reading 13; Reading Bonds 1; Reading Montgage Bonds 4; Pennsylvania 6’s 1; Illinois 1; Mor- ris Canal, Treasury Notes, and Ohio 6’s, closed at prices current yesterday. At the second board Pennsylvania 6’s fell off 34; Read- ing Bonds 4; Canton 144; Farmers’ Loan 3{; Reading %; Norwich & Worcester }¢. Harlem closed at prices current in the morning. The stock market is decidedly in a badway. The bears are having their harvest, and it is likely to be as greats that realized by the bulls few weeks since. Many of the fancies are lower than they have been at any time within the past three years, and the tendency is stilldownward. The decline is more the result of a panic among holders, than from any actual depression in the value of the securities, or from any tightness in the money market. Money isabundent; the rate of interest rapges from six to seven per cent., and the banks are glad to discount all the good, short, business paper effor- ing. Treasury notes are still above par, and the finances of the government have not yet reached a very desperate point. Darker days than this have been experienced in Wall street, and as the darkest hour is that just before day, we may be sooner out of the woods than appear- ances indicate.

Under existing circumstances, this looks | very well; it shows that (notwithstanding the great re- duction in prices for breadstuffs on the other side, ship- | ments can be made profitably; that we can afford to send forward suppliés, in the face of the low prices ruling.
