NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Mondny, Sevember 1, le SS European News. ‘The Caledonia, with advices from Europe to the 19th ult., is now in her thirteenth day. She will probably bring the next news. We are in hopes, however, that the Philadelphia will reach this port without touching at Halifax. ‘The Next Presidency. Once upon a time an honest countryman, wan- dering through the forest, chanced to light his pipe at the cell of a magician. In this cell he found a singular old volume, which told him the mode of raising the devil at his option. In leav- ing, he took the volume of knowledge, with all the accompanying documents, as they say in Con- gress, in order to avail himself of this new spe- cies of speculation. After reading the volume, he went through the ceremonies; and after a shock of electricity equal to that of the electric telegraph, and a highly respectable clap of thun- der and lightning, the devil, in all his natural lineaments, stood before the poor farmer. The speculator and the devil looked at each other. The poor man was terrified and amazed at his own power, and was silent. The devil opened his burning mouth and said, ‘‘ What do you wantof we?” No reply from the farmer. “What the devil do you want of me?’ Still no reply. The poor man had raised the devil, and in an instant both disappeared on a streak of lightning, and nothing was left of the farmer but a grease spot two inches wide, and one and a quarter long, which may be seen yet somewhere in the neighborhood of the part of the country where the incident occurred. Such, weare afraid, in a political point of view, isthe condition of Mr. Polk, President of the United States. He has raised the devil in the Mexican war; but how can he lay him? He has got into a position out of which no ome can see any easy method of getting out. Mr. Polk’s plans have been brilliant, magnificent, wonder- ful, and startling. He has created for this coun- try a reputation in Europe greater and brighter than ever it had attained in any former age. He has called into existence two of the greatest mil- itary heroes of the present day—General Taylor and General Scott; with all their attendant heroes around them, down to the very lowest private in the army. Yet no one thinks of giving any merit to Mr. Polk. No one thinks of rewarding the administration on this account. In fact, Mr. Polk and the administretion have raised a hurricane that has called up the very devil in politics, which will destroy every vestige of the party which gave birth to this presidency. At this moment the democratic party is broken into | fragments in all the principal States of the Union, with the exception, perhaps, of one or two. No unity of purpose seems to animate their ranks- Buchanan is spoken of as a candidate for the next Presidency in one section—Woedbury in an- other—Cass in another—Mr. Polk no where. An- other significant feature of the present day is, that General Taylor, who but a few months ago was a prominent candidate, is now almost for- gotten in the rising fortunes of General Scott, who is the bright star of a strong section of peo- - ple in certain quarters. The truth is, that Scott and Taylor, by their great deeds, their bright acts, their military courage and reputation, have shot ahead of all others,‘at the present moment, as fas as regards the Presidency. General Taylor, it is true, with all his good sense and talent, has committed some faux pas which Clay did three years ago— he has written too many letters. If he had never replied toone sent him, he would stand better at the present day than he does. Such 1s the state of things as regards public opinion in this country; yet we are in the midst of one of the most important parts of the history of the republic. The ensuing State elections will furnish us with the remaining indications of public opinion in the places where they will be held. So far as regards the presidency in connection with men, nothing is more uncer- tain, nothing more involved in mystery, nothing more thickly covered with clouds and darkness. But as regards the progress of this republic as @ great nation—its position as a mighty com- monwealth—its growing power and present im portance, there is no question. We are within a quarter of the distance of the great metropolis of England and of France, that those capitals are to the central power of Russia. Asa nation we belong to the great confederacy of civilized life, the head quarters of which are in Europe. We have become a part ot the civilized world, and we must now take our position, not only asa great people, as a mighty nation, but as one of the greatest nations, in military and naval power, in commercial and political power, that the world has yet seen. In the pre- sent crisis of Mexican affairs, we do not believe they can be settled in the next Congress, or by the present Executive, but that it will require another and a greater appeal to public opinion, which will be evolved in the presidential election. In various quarters, pub- lic opinion seems to point to other candidates than those we have named; and according to the huzzas among a strong party in this city, we should not be surprised to see Henry Clay, yet, one of the foremost candidates for the impor- tant post of President. The old questions which divided the old parties are dying away. New questions, involving national principles, are rising up, which will bring us into direct contact with European statesmen and European powers, and make neW men and new parties; but the coun- try itself, and the people, and every department of life, be it war or commerce, must go forth and become the leading spirits of the age. ‘The New Movement in ° There is a remarkable philosopher, recently trom Germany, who is now delivering a series of lectures upon natural history and its wonders, at the medical school of Crosby street College. This distinguished savant is a professor of phy- siology and natural history in the alma mater of New England, Harvard university—an institu- tion distinguished by numerousripe scholars and fully formed philosophers. Professor Agassiz is, we believe, a native of Germany, a country famed for philosophy and learning in all its de- partments. He has been only a few years in this country ; but in that short time has acquired in New England the highest reputation as a great, learned and original genins. The lectures which he is now delivering in this city are attended by some of the most accomplished persons of both sexes; the apartment, it is true, is rather small, but makes up for its diminutive size by crowding into the smallest possible space. The professor is listened to with profound attention, and is admired with the deepest admiration, Hisideas are caught up with all the enthusiasm of youth, and both sexes, all ages, and all sects of religion and literature in this city, listen in bursting wonder and astonishment to the revelations which he makes in science and natural history. The philosopher himself is comparatively a young man, but he is old in ideas and mature in experience. ‘These lectures, and the popularity they have _ attained in this city, indicate the intellectual direction of the age. The material world, with all its mountains and oceans and rivers and fos- sil remains, are the results of minute and slow processes, almost escaping the observation of the human mind, or even the divisions of time itself. The history of the human race is mark- ed by similar features. General ideas are slow in transition; but certain ages of society are dis- nguished by particular movements, which lead the cine to certain astounding and overwhelm- ing ts in intellectual history. ‘The move- ment now commenced by Professor Agassiz in this city, in the single department of natural his- tory, and the truths which he reveals in his lec- tures, are only parts of the general movement of the great mind of Europe and America, which is now transpiring with reference to the religion, manners and customs of the age. {[n Germany, France and England, the philosophy founded upon the principle of induction developed by Bacon, is making wonderful and astonishing strides in new and wonderful revelations, shed- ding fresh light en every thing connected with human knowledge and human affairs. Geology, natural history, astronomy, ancient literature, the existing systems of religion, are all of them more or less affected by the present philosophical movement of the age. This movement has made rapid progress in Eu- rope, under various forms; it isnow making sin- gular developments in New England, and has at length found its way to this city, attracting the attention of most of the religious and intelligent classes of theday. An astonishing mark of the progress of these new ideas in the old world, is the extraordinary “ Life of Jesus Christ,” pub- lished by Strauss, which has been printed in three or four different languages, and circulated extensively among all theeducated classes. That new and etngular work, “ The Vestiges of Crea- tion,”’ which is said to be the production of one of the young professors of some of the colleges of the metropolis, is another. It has passed through many editions, and reached a circula- tion of some fifty thousand copies in Eng- land alone. This fact we were made ac- quainted with by the bookseller who pub- lished the work in London. The multitude of societies and institutions which have assisted to develope the woaders of geology, and other sciences, and to connect them with the history of the earth, and with the progress of the present race, has been wonderful within the last few years. All the different sects of Christianity, in this country and Europe, appear to encourage this new and wonderful movement in tne phi- losophy of the day—a philosophy which looks back to millions of years as the age of this pla- net, and which looks forward to similar millions of years through which it has to pass. It is true that in Europe, and probably in this country, the different Christian sects which ad- here to the creed of the middle ages and to the interpretations of the olden times, look with dread upon the progress of this philosophy, be- cause it tends to strip religion of its mysteries, and invest all nature with new and wonderful miracles, more remarkable than those which have been believed. There can be no doubt but that the tendency of these sciences in Europe and this country, as exhibited in such lectures as those in the College in Crosby street, is to unsettle the minds of those who believe in Christianity, such as it has been believed in within the last few centuries. It is a profound and wonderful religious revolution of a most remarkable character, which is going on; and it is a part of this movement developed by Professor Agassiz, in the wonderful and striking lectures which he is delivering in this city. But, although it may be its tendency to unsettle the mind in relation to the present exist- ing opinions in religion, yet it amply provides new theories of creed, more wonderful than the past, and new modes of creation, more miracu- lous than the imagination has conceived. The end of these things, and the effect of these lec- tures upon the public mind, upon christianity, and the various sects of religion, cannot be seen, dimly in the distance, by a few reflecting spirits of the day. The next lecture on this new philosophy, as applied to religion, and the other ideas of the age, will be given to-morrow evening, by Pro- fessor Agassi: ‘TueatricaLs 1x New Yorx.—The corn specu- lations are over, the cotton market is flat; but there is one trade flourishing here, and seems to flourish, in spite of all pressures and all revul- sions. Theatricals flourish with a verdure of green, whatever the profits may be. There are seven theatres now open in this city, and we have besides, concerts of every description al- most every evening. Probably an aggregate amount of ten thousand persons, male and fe- male, attend the public places of amusement the managers an aggregate amount of five thou- sand dollars for the same time, equal to thirty dollars per annum. This is not much inferior to the estimated aggregate receipts of the Paris and London theatres. In point of population, there is more paid in New York for amusements of this kind, than in either of the two great capitals we have named. What sort of talent do we reeeive, and what sort of management marks the different theatres? Atthis moment there is an Italian opera com- pany at the old Park theatre, generally called opinions on the part of the press, and vague cri- ticisms in the conversation of the day. The opera troupe at this establishment is remarkably good, and can compare in some of its materials with the best in Europe. It is true, a Grisi, a Lind, a Blanche, or a Maria di Candia, isolated, are costly productions, which are rarely pro- duced in the world of art. Madame Bishop, however, compares very well with Grisi, though of course inferior in power and brilliancy, yet, in taste and cultivation, almostequal. Reeves, we believe, has sung in some concerts with Jen- ny Lind, and is a young man of great natural powers and with brilliant prospects, if he studies in a good school. As a whole, the opera at the Park theatre is far above mediocrity, and de- serves a much higher share of patronage thap it seems to receive from the educated classes of our city. There is one deficiency, however, at the Park, and that is the want of a ballet. In Europe the opera is always accompanied with the ballet. Both united pay the management better than they do divided. There is a ballet company at the Broadway theatre, of very good materials, though not of the same rank as those which may be seen inthe higher institutions of Paris or London. The principal members have much more force and power than they have grace. They may be ranked with the second or third rate artists of Paris; but by no means can be compared with those in the higher ranks of the art. The mana- ger, however, who has brought them forward, has shown much enterprise and tact, and de- serves well of the public for his efforts to please. But the great taste of the day, in this city, seems to be for the highest style of Italian opera. We have alluded to the one in operation; another is preparing, and will be ready for action in a few weeks, in an opera house up town. ‘This company is represented to be very complete, as a whole, though it contains no name of great celebrity in the art.. In Europe every Italian artist of superior talent requires the sanction of London and Paris, and then his rank is undisputed. The Astor Place Company must make its way by itsown efforts; but we are sorry to hear there isa little difficulty among the members, which seems to affect all Italian com- panies beyond the discipline of the English po- | lice. The taste of this city for operatic music is improving every da patronage bestowed on 't proves the fact. In other branches of the drama, the taste may be more varied, but it is more general. The Bowery, the Chatham, the Olymple, and all the other theatres of that clasa, are profitable concerns. They are far better than the corn speculations of the last year, or the cot- ton speculations of the present day, “Old Drury,” which has brought forth a variety of here every night, bringing into the pockets of thousand per week, or one million and a half of Interesting Intelligence. We learn that the Secretary of State has en- trusted to an eminent citizen of Pennsylvania, who has lately set out on a tour of Europe, the pleasing office of assuring his Holiness, Pius the Ninth, of the warm sympathy of our govern- ment and people in his present liberal and well- directed efforts for the amelioration of f{taly. The sympathy and countenance of a free and enlightened government like ours, cannot fail to afford the good Pontiff grateful sustentation in his arduous struggle against the despotism of Austria. The impression is general that anew mission cennot be created ,except by act of Con- gress; but hopes are entertained that the object may be accomplished more speedily, in this in- stance, without violating established usages. Tue Yetow Fever 1x New Orugans.—The lists of the names of those who died in New Orleans of the yellow fever, from the 5th of July to the 22d of October, oceupy two pages, or fourteen columns, of the National of that city. Total number of names, two thousand five hun- dred and forty-four. Of these, two hundred and forty were Americans, two hundred and thirty- eight unknown, and the remainder Engl! Trish, French, German, Spanish, &c. &c. &c. We in- tend to put the list on our inside bulletin this morning. It is a mournful record. ‘Theatrical and Musical. Panx Tueatae.—To-night we are to have the opera of “ Lucrezia Borgia” again, and we can promise to all who are disposed to attend, that in doing #0 they will do themselves a great favor, especially if they are tond of good singing. We doubt whether any opera could be selected 80 well calculated to bring out the vocal abili- ties of Bishop, Valtellina and Reeves, as is this. Each one of this trio has already won almost unlimited ap- plause in separate performances; but inthis their talents are so combined, as to produce the most grand effect by their three-fold power. It must not be forgotten ben . Mactarren, the new eputralto, who, se Melo Orninl rings the calobre- ted dripking song. Those who choose to remain for the farce, will entertained with “The Double Bedd Room’’—Messrs. Bass and Andrews, and Mesdamas Ver- pon and Dyott appearing in it. As this is the last week of the Bishop troupe's performance here, for the pre- sent, we not be surprised to see crowded houses every night. Certain we are that the entertainment offered is worthy of such patronage. Bowray Txeatae.—The patriotic American piece, “The Battle of Bunker Hill, or Boston Boys of 1776 ;” the comedy of “ Family Jars,” and the much admired drama, “ Gilderoy,”’ are the pieces marked for perform- ance at the Bowery Theatre this evening. These pieces, and the manner in which they will be played, will keep up the rush that has been there for some time past. Cuatnam Tueatne.—Barney Williams, Mr. De Bar, ‘and Miss Vallee, will all appear in several attractive pieces at the Chatham Theatre this evening. As an Irish comedian, Mr. Williams is much admired, and has always drawn large houses—as a danseuse Miss Vallee deservedly ranks high, and Mr. De Bar is so well known that it is unnecessary to refer to his qualifications — Such a front of talent will make an impression, without doubt. Bowery Cincus—AmrnitHEaTRe.—To-night the re- coipts at this house are for the benefit of that inimita- ble joker, Dan Rice, the clown, who, by his classical wit, has attained the soubriquet of the Shakesperian jester. Dan Rice is a native of this city, one of our own citizens; he is also a very worthy man, and has afforded many an hour of innocent hilarity to multitudes, particularly Col ped alkene For all this he deserves @ good benefit; but beyond allthis, he hes set forth such a very attractive bill, that it, per se, is sufficient to obtain a full house. It includes variety of entertainment, such as splendid feats in the ring, horsemanship, gym- nastics, Piutation of caninant sotees by the beneficiary, comic songs of his own composition, besides various Mexican episodes of the richest kind. All this will draw as large an audience as the old Circus ever contained. Ermiorian Senenavens.—To-night these famous singers commence their fifth week. Their career since their return among us, has been one of uninterrupted success, and we have no doubt will continue so. They sre certainly excellent performers, and deserve the pat- they obtain. Their place of entertainment is ept in the most excellent manner, and all the arrange- ‘as to the comfort of the audience, seats for \e8 and families, being under the direction of Major Dum- bolton, are sure to be well carried out. They give an excellent bill to-night. Cunusty’s Mivstreis.—These eccentric and classical geniuses again hold forth among us for another week, and we have no doubt their usual full and fashionable audiences will be in attendance to hear their harmonious songs, brilliant jokes, and smusing stories, lectures, ke. ‘They have been among us now for four weeks, and we do not see how they can ever get away, so satisfied and so large are their audiences; but the truth is, if there ‘are apy who have not heard eat sht to go at once, as are now fully warmed in their harn ‘and in edmi working order. They give a grand bill to-night. Granv Concert or Sivoni, Herz ann Kxoor.—The magic wand of the master violinist, Sivori, and the won- derfal fingers of the pianist, Herz, are again to weave a chain of musical sweetness around the senses of thou- sands, to-morrow evening at the Tabernacle ; and we only fear that its area, capacious as it is, will fall short THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS. ‘To-day.

Besides their own attraction, Hers and have engaged the talented violoncellist, Knoop, who will lend them the aid of his powerful executien on this occasion. Mrs. Otto will also appear. The orches- tra will be directed by Signor Rapetti. This concert promises to be one of the greatest musical treats of the season. Dumrster’s Concrrt.—We trust that all lovers of good and pure ballad singing, will remember Mr. Dempster’s soirée this evening, at the Tabernacle. We have often mentioned the great charm that this gentle- man’s singing has, viz: its sweetness and simplicity. and as most of the music which he sings is composed by him- self, he of course gives it its best effect. The beautiful pieces of poetry which he has thus united to musio, have ‘all of them become favorite parlor songs, the surest proof of the full appreciation of them a4 the public—fer in- » his “Lament of the | Emigrant, “May Queen,” &o. kc , are now standard songs. To-night he gives many of his most favorite ones, together with seve- ral new ones; for instance,‘ The Rainy Day Poetry,’’ by Longfellow. * The loved one.”’ (Was not these words b; that sterling poetess, Eliza Cook?) Again, in Scotcl songs, he will give that truly republican one, “A man’s man for a» that”—beside, ‘ My Nannie 0!” “Jeanie Morrison,” “Duncan Gray,” &c. His beautiful “May Queen” will conclude the concert. We must not forget the song of * You think I have a merry heart,” which he will ~~ to new music, composed by Professor Ficker, from Leipsic. Altogether, his concert will be « brilliant De Branis, who has been confined to his room by #e- vere cold, will appear as one of Madame Bishop's troupe, this week, in “Il Fanatico” Rossini’s chef d’ouvre, “ Il Barbiere,”’ will not be produced during the present en- it, the time being too short for giving so difficult Sed charming an opera with due effect. Ballots opera of the “Maid of in which Madame Anna Bishop made her first appearance in London in an English char- acter, in October last. with such success, will be given jee the week, Madame’s engagement ending with her benefit the last night. Sicvor Butz commences a week’s performance over the river, at Brooklyn, this evening. He holds out at the Lyceum Hall, and we advise our friends there to go and see him, for nothing short of that is believing. says the proverb, and even with seeing, they will find it hard work to believe the little Signor’s dexterity. Tux Movris.—To-night the manager of the troupe takes a benefit, Let it be good one, in return for the exquisite pleasure his tact and labor has given #0 many of our citizens since the arrival of this troupe. ‘The popular Italian dancers, Ciocci and Morrs, are in Baltimore, where they are to make their début at Ber- ton’s theatre this evening. A dancing master at Rochester has got up a copy of the Viennolse dancing children’s Fated Forty- eight little girls have, under his instructions, been brn to imitate the real Vienroises, and in the accom- plishment of bis graceful task be has won great praise, Herr Alexander was at Montreal at last accounts.

Sunday, Oct. 316 P. M. ‘We have bad no advices from any quarter, during the past week, opoulated to have any material influence upom the stook market. Later accounts from the other side have been anxiously looked for, and hourly expect- ed by the French steamer from Cherbourg, but so far in vain, Our next accounts from Europe will probably be by the steamship Caledonia, from Liverpool, now at sea nearly thirteen days. She will bring fourteen days later news, and we shall no doubt be able to form « better idea relative to the probable result of the revulsion, than we have yet been able to from the accounts re- ceived. ‘There has been so much said in fimancial and commer- cial circles relative to the tremendous crash predicted by croaking letter writers on the other side, that the greatest apprehensions exist, and fears are entertained that the will be of acharacter threatening com- plete annihilation to all engaged in commercial pur- suits. Anything short of the explosion of the Bank of England will be good news to thesealarmists, as they have made up their minds for something tremendous. We have no fears of this kind; we do not share in the panio which has taken possession of the minds of so many; and we trust the steamer will soon be along to relieve the minds of those who have placed too much reliance upon predictions of letter writers. The stock market cannot undergoany material alteration until something definite is known about these reports—until the public mind has become quiet, after the agitation and excitement produc- ed by those who have « special object in view. The only good thing about this movement is, that it has prepared the public mind for the worst; so that moderately favor- able news will have “a greater effect upon the market than it otherwise would. Much depends upon the complexion of our next ac- counts from Europe. If the suspensions are rapidly in- creasing and extending among s different class of houses than previously reported—if the Bank of England is still suffering s drain of bullion, and there is no falling off in the railway oalls, we shall abandon all hope of any immediate improvement, and shall expect to see the re- vuision continue until it can find nothing to feed on, and subside for thewant of victims. There is a limit to all things, and there must be s point beyond which the panic cannot pass. It is only those who have extended their movements beyond their means and control who are overwhelmed with a crisis like this; those who have not properly ballasted their vessel to meet the coming blast. It is impessible for individuals engaged in com- merolal pursuits, to embark in operations in opposition to the commercial system of the government, or financial system regulating a powerful money institution, with the remotest prospect of success; and we can trace most of the difficulties under which so many houses have con- tended against ao long in vain, to this cause The com- mercial classes must govern themselves by the policy of the government, in.all matters relating to commerce and finance. The Bank of England is a powerful institution, and it is folly for any body of merchants to attempt to go against the movements of the bank, When the char- ter of that institution was altered, in 1944, it was well known that in the new act there existed the greatest rej strictions relative tothe issuing department; and the only course left for those depending in any way upon the bank, to pursue, was a restrictive system, corres- ponding nearly with that forced upon the bank. Instead of regulating their movements by the move- ments of the bank, they have gone on from year to year expanding their mercantile operations, investing an im- mense amount of capital im foreign possessions, without any increasein the domestic capital, until they have found themselves so much expanded when the drain of bullion from tbe bank brought into effect the restrictions of the new act, in a dangerous position, from which there was no redemption. In a contest of this kind, the bank, of course, comes off victorious; ,its im- mense concentrated capital and powerful influence upon individual credits, enable it tocrush at once every thing contending against it. It looks entirely to its own pre- servation; and to secure that,would sacrifice any number of commercial houses. We look upon the restrictions under which the bank is compelled to act, as the salva- tion of those engaged in legitimate pursuits, and the destruction of those engaged in or attempting any ex- tensive speculations; and if the commercial operations of Great Britain were regulated entirely by the value and volume of the currency, we should not be subject to these panics ; these revulsions and revolutions in mer- cantile affairs. It is only by deviations from the regu- lar laws of trade, by expansions of commerce and cre- dits beyond points established by the financial policy of the government and of the banks, that these periodical contractions are produced. The remedy we havo in our own hands. The annexed table exhibits the quotations for stocks in this market, for each day of the past week, and at the close of the week previous.

This increase in the importations has been con- finedentirely to dutiable goods, there having been « falling off in free goods. The average duty upon dutia- ble merchandise imported in the above week,in 1846,was about twenty-five por cent, and on dutiable imports for the corresponding week in 1847, thirty-three per cent.— Thisis » very extraordinary ciroumstance,when we take into consideration the fact that in 1646 the protective tariff of 1842 was in operation, and in 16147 the revenue tariff of Deo. 1846, wasin operation. The importations last week were exceedingly large for the season; the pre- valence of northeast winds for several days, brought in many packets from Europe earlier than usual, and the reoeipts,which would otherwise have been spread over a longer period, were crowded into a few days.
