NEW YORK HERALD.| New York, Friday, November 5, 1847. The Weebly Herald. ‘The Weekly Herald which will be issued from this office to-morrow ‘morning, will contain as much valuable and interesting matter as any paper we have ever published. Part of its contents will be the most complete and perfect table of the result of the election in this city and State, that ever appeared in a newspaper, and one which is worthy of being preserved for a reference table; complete returns from New Jersey, and other States, as far as they shall have come to hand; the latest news of importance from the seat of war in Mexico; a perfect summary of the French and English news brought by the steamship Philadelphia, together with letters from our special correspondents in Rome, Naples, Madrid, Paris, &¢, &c.; the news by the steamship Caledonia, at Boston, in case that vessel arrives in the meantime; corres- pondence from Washington, and our usual digest of political and miscellaneous intelli- gence from all parts of the United States, &c. Price 64 cents each, or $8 12) per annum, in advance. Steamship Caledon! This steamer is now in her seventeenth day, and is at least forty-eight hours over due. She will bring twelve days laternews from London ; and thirteen days later from Liverpool. The rough weather, reported by vessels which have arrived within the past few days, has no doubt detained the steamer. An extra Herald will be issued as soon as the news comes to hand. The Protengation of Hostilitics. When we consider the immense resources of the United States, and the proof we have given the whole world of our capability of carrying on war in an enemy’s country, thousands of miles distant from home---when we consider too, the invariable success which has crowned our arms in every part of Mexico, since the com- mencement of hostilities with that country, from the day when the memorable battle of Palo Alto was fought, until that which witnessed the de- feat of the Mexican hordes under the walls of their capitol—we cannot but be amased at the criminal fatuity which urges} the enemy to con- tinue a contest so palpably unequal, and which has placed in our control the whole of his coun- try. We are acquainted with the stubborness and obstinacy of the Mexican character— we are aware of their pride and haugh- tineas, and their willingness to sacrifice every thing rather than submit- but making all due allowances for these, we are still surprised that that people continue to hold out as they do. They have been defeated in general ac- tion by numbers infinitely inferior to those they brought against us—their impregnable tortresses have fallen befo-e the gallantry of our troops— their favorite plan of guerilla warfare, even, has failed them—their capital, even, isin our posses- sion—many of their principal officers are pri- soners, and to crown all, they are without an or- ganized army. In the presence of the whole world they are defeated, conquered, and render- ed, by irreparable losses, incapable of meet~ ing our troops again in the field on terms that promise them the remotest chance of success, or even partial advantage. There must be something on which they count that we do not know of. There must be some basis of ahope which they rely upon for ulti- mately worrying and wearying the United States of the North into an arrangement by which they imagine they will make better terms than they can now. We are of opinion there must be something ofthis kind in the back ground; and if we look at home for it, we think wecan find it. It is within the knowledge of all, that our legislative halls last winter, presented a scene which would disgrace any country Instead of our representatives uniting hand and heart in promoting the honor and dignity of the nation, in prosecuting the war which wae declared by a solemn vote to exist between us and Mexico, and which did exist by the overt act of Mexico in spilling American bleod on American soil, a great portion of them engaged in throwing every impediment in the way of the Presidentthey could, and for mere party purposes invited the enemy to harrass us and prolong the war. Instead ofpromptly furnishing tne Execu- tive with men and means to follow up the advan- tages we gained at the commencement of hos- tilities, and finishing the war by a coup de main, they wilfully and obstinately withheld doing so, and preferred discussing the subject of slavery— whether it should exist in a territory which the United States did not at the time own, and which she possibly mayneverown. Whatahumiliating spectacle we presented to the world, and what better encouragement could we give the enemy than the speeches which were circulated over hill and valley in Mexico, and used as argu- ments adduced by ourselves to prove that the war on our part was unjust and unrighteous? These scenes and these doings could not but have had a tremendous moral influence on the bulk of the Mexican people, coming from the source they did. Again, the course which the whig papers have followed since the adjournment of Congress, has had a similar influence. They have maintained an unceasing warfare against the war. All this political clap-trap, written for the express purpose of weakening the do- minant party in the estimation of the people at home, and of furthering the chances of the next whig or conservative candidate for the presi- dency, have, we are confident, had a powerful effeet in continuing the war. The articles we speak of have been copied from time to time into the Mexican papers, and circulated through the country, with appropriate eomments. And why should they not? What more efficient aid could the Mexicans receive than the assurance they got in this way—that the war was com- menced by the President; that it was unpopu- lar, and that he would be called to a strict re- sponsibility for commencing it? The authors of those speeches and of those articles, are as moraliy guilty of treason to their country as if they had furnished the enemy with men and am- munition to fight against us. We are certain that these causes have tended materially to prolong the war; and | as Congress will soon again assemble, we hope and trust, provided peace be not in the meantime eoncluded, that the anti-war whigs and anti- war democrats will by that time have seen the error of their ways, and will take a dif- ferent eourse to what they adopted last winter. The responsibility of prolonging the warnow, is on their beads. I[f they wish to atone as faras is in their power, for the evil they have committed, they can do so; but if the Wilmot proviso, or | any other kindred chimera, be/introduced and pushed to the same extent as it was last session, the anti-war party will be the means of giving “ aid and comfort” to the enemy. When peace shall have been concluded, when additional territory shall have been acquired, when our armies have retired from the enemy’s country, they may introduce as many absurdi- ties as they please, and talk themselves to death over them, if they please; but, in the name of | patriotism, let them not do anything to procras- tinate hostilities, or to embarrass the chosen | executive of the nation in prosecuting them, if | such a course shall be necessary. The magnetic tei Jb legr: and Mobile, will probably be completed during the pre- fmt F Coming Woek., ont ar) Feats in TRur@karuina.—We yesterday pub- lished an article from a Cincinnati paper, rela- tive toa feat of Mr. Barnes, who, it is id, could read the ticking of the telegraph without | using a registering instrument. The article es- cuped our notice at the time of its insertion, or we could have made mention of feats far more extraordinary, performed on the New York and | Buffalo line, and if we mistake not, Mr. Barnes is a slip cut off from the New York line and late- ly planted at Cincinnati. . It 18 quite a common occurrence for several of the operators on the New York and Buffalo line, to read and communicate merely by the sound or “ticks” of the electric wire. We have heard of an operator on this line, not yet 16 years of age, Mr. Otis E. Wood, who is in the habit of reading off, all day, by the faint sounds or ticks of the telegraph. Several other cases of similar skill and delicacy of ear, on this line, have come to our knowledge, and completely eclipse that mentioned in Cincinnati. On the New York and Boston line, ale ,we have heard of Mr. Sheppard and several others, equalling, if not surpassing, all that is related at the West. In- deed, there is nothing of all which Mr. Barne: said to have done, which is not regularly per- formed on these lines, as a thing of daily occur- rence. We do not wish by these remarks to decry the skill and intelligence of the operators at Cincin- nati; we wish it, however, to be known that the same skill and intelligence is a familiar thing with us on our lines here. We admire the re- sults at both places, and rejoice at hearing of them, inasmuch as it convinces us of the truth of the opinion we have long he'd, that the art and science of telegraphic communications is susceptible of yet further and great improvement, | if NG FROM La Puata.—The brig Joh Freneh, Capt. Jeffrey, arrived yesterday with accounts from Montevideo to the 4th of Sep- tember, and from Buenos Ayres to the 28th of August. We are obli ed to Captain Jeffrey for his attention to our ship news collector, and for the prompt delivery of our parcels. | Files of the Commercio de! Plata to the 4th of | Sept. have been received; also a letter from our | special correspondent at Buenos Ayres, Commodore Sir Thomas Herbert, at Monte- video, had given up possession of the Fort of San José to the Government, and had removed | the marines who were stationed there, and also those stationed atthe custom house. This pro- ceeding had given rise to much discontent among the British merchants there, whose pro- perty was thus left unprotected, and they had | protested against the proceeding, in a letter to | the Acting Consul General. Buenos Avnes. August 19, 1847 Under date of the 2d inst. I informed you of the entire withdrawal of England, from the peace-making inter. | vention in these countries. and of the humane resolution eae? be crdhigmot re Lp rg to continue his bene- volent efforts, “ 80) and alone”? Whatever me; have been the aciginst Tolenactiiatasd. Lord Howdew either] became convinced they were unattainable, or | would coat more than they were worth. or else he had not the hardihood and impudence to continue to brave | the indignation of all civilized nations, by a longer par- ticipation in the disgraceful outrages that had been prao- ticed bere the English and French navies, uoder the direotion of the ministers representing those countries He candidly acknowledged the error of his governmeat, and withdrew entirely from the intervention. This alone. | considering the proverbial obstinacy of the English, must be sufflcient to couvince anyone that ner injustice must have been very glaring and palpable, to have brought from her diplomstio representative such a confession Count Walewski pursued a different course for France. | He announced her determination to continue the inter- vention; and that the Royal French should persist in aoting the Catchpolls, or Corsair, if they like the term better, for the loan-jobbing Shylooks in Montevideo, to ~pable them to collect the panaltion of their iniqui- tous bonds, by levying a tribute upon the commerce of the world with the River La Plata. To some, this may seem mere declamation | will, ther-fore state a few frots $ and may be even expected, in the course of a few years, to form the great channel and substitute of the Post Office Department. Saux or Forrian Paintines.—There is a sys- tem in action in our city, of which we should feel that we had no par‘icular right to comp'ain, were it not that the said system is injurious to a meritorious class, and calculated to depress | and crush the energies of one of the most im- portant and most gifted classes of our social world. ‘The system to which we refer is the following, or something very much like it. A goodly num- | ber of promising young students and artists, in | Paris and Italy,who are glad of the employment | not only as it pays them a few francs a day, but | also as a means of exercise and improvement in the art, are set to work by some wholesale speculators, and the werk they have to do is to | multiply bad copies of some of the ancient mas- ters, to give to these, their copies, an antique tinge, and then to pack them up in boxes for the New York market. When the goods arrive in | our city they are advertised as antique paintings | of great value, by unknown masters, &c. Now this would be all well enough, provided it ended here, and if it were only a trade, like the sale at auction of so many boxes of Parisian bonnets, or so many drums of figs. But the case is totally different. While the public funds devoted to works of art are thus drawn off in this channel to sustain an anonymous multitude of foreign juvenile artists, and to sustain them, too, in rough, rude, and careless labor; while this is done, our best and noblest sons languish in discouragement and cheerless despondency, for want of the streams of public support which are thus drawn off. This is, we think, anevil. Perhaps the point- ing out the disease may, inthe course of time, produce a remedy. Lirzrary Quarre.s.—It is positively no small amusement to stand at a distance and look at a literary quasi pugilistic encounter, wherein two parties, having both an interest to hold their tongues, stand up, and, as it were, bombard each other with all their might and main, and lay open to public view all the dirty little holes and corners of the several citadels and fortresses of their name and character. Such a spectacle of such an encounter has lately been enacted, for the great edification of the luterary world, between Messrs. Hofimai Griswold & Co., on the one hand, and a gentleman, Mr. Headley, on the other hand. One amusing effect of such a silly squabble is, that it brings out certain secrets of the Jiterary trade, which, but for the mu- tual animosity of their mutual bombardment, would remain unknown to the world. Among other results of this amusing squabble, we find, by the mutual disclosures of the parties them- selves, that our ligerary gentlemen have been the regular self-appointed critics and self-constituted judges, jury and puffers of their own writings and productions. How kindly such critics would treat suc. authors, the reader may imagine when he now learns thaf the authors and critics are the same. It really is absurd for men of sense to be guilty of doing such things, then of quarrelling about such things, and then of disclosing such things It is, in fact, degrading to our literary character and to our jiterature. Tue Sovrngrner.—The non-arrival of this favorite steamer at her usual hour on Tuesday. excited some little anxiety. Yesterday morn- ing, however, she made her appearance; and al- though passing through gales and heavy seae, her mccounts from Charleston are still even with the U.S. mail having encountered a terrible gale, which cou- tinued with fearful violence for more than fifty hours, threatening the utmost danver; but by the foresight and seamanship of her commander, the noble vessel gallantly weathered the storm, with no other damage than the loss of head- board and some of the geer, owing toa rough sea, and the shallow state of the water on the bar, she did not leave Charleston until Sanday afternoon. She will leave on her return punctu- ally on her regular day—Sat wida Loss or THE Stgamen NaRRaGansetr.—The steamer Yragansett, Captain Wilson, from Churleston, bound to New Orleans, went ashore near the Musquito Inlet, Florida—crew and pas- senjers were all saved. The vessel it is thought will be a total loss. The Narragansett lett here about the Iet ult., and arrived at Charleston, on her way south, after a very short passage. She was formerly one of the Stonington passenger boats, and was purchased and fitted for the pur- pose of navigating the Gulf of Mexico. Deata or Mr. Livineston.—Mr. Crawford Livingston, of the firm of Livingston & Wells, died yesterday afternoon at half-paet 4 o’clock, at the residence of his father. He had been sick sometime, but his friends had hopes of his re- covery. He was a most active business man, and his partner, and all connected with him in business, will feel his loss very severely. He originated the Buffalo Telegraphic line, and made it, ina short time, the most productive line in the country. Later From Great Britain.—The ship Brooke- by, McEwen, arrived on Saturday from Glasgow, bringing accounts from that city to the 10th inst., but nothing later from London or Liverpool. Unless the Caledonia bestire herself, we shall have the Siddons, or some other vessel, with later intelligence. The office of the Merchants’ Insurance Company of New Orleans was entered by burglars on the night of the 23d ult. The iron safe was opened, and $20 in mo ney, which it contained, taken. A box, containing a set of diamonds ing to w lady in New Orleans, ich are valued at ten to twelve thousand dollars, was left unopened on the floor. The office furniture and oon torn Le hecng tof the Yon who, it is sup) were not res, but some malicious persons method ,of who took this thelr spleen against ‘the company. Three hours out, she reports | Whilst the English and French ministers remained here pretending to negotiate for an honorable peace, there was an armistice between the besiegers and besieg ed of Montevideo They had free and friendly inter- course—I mean the natives—and ef course talked of the folly and disasters of their unnatural civil war. They saw that both parties were suffering grievously, and that the only gainers by their sanguinary fratracidal wars. were a few foreigners who had got possession of their public property and their custom-house. A very few minutes cool reflection was sufficient to convince them of these facts Afcer the withdrawal of the English and French minis. ters—after they saw that any hopes they might have en- tertained of an adjustment of their difficulties by this foreign intervention, were illusive and vain - the natives in Montevideo, to the number of about four hundred, (and this must be ail, or nearly so, of all classes in the oity,) drew up n very respectful petition to their govern- ment, requesting that a commissioner might be appoint: ed, to go ont and confer with G-neral Oribe, upon the terms ot a pence, and a settlement of all dinputes If there had been a partials of sincerity in any of the professions of Franoe of her humanity and great desire to“ stop the effusion of human blood’ in these coun- tries, how very gratifying this movement would bave been to her. But she, peace-making, peace-loving, h man Frsnee! was the first to step forward and stran- gle this effort inits infancy. ‘The so called government of Montevideo itaclf is tired of the war, and lent a ready ear to the petitioners; but so soon as the movement be- came known, it created almost as great an excitement among the Joan-jobbers and other free-booting foreigners as thouh Oribebad taken the city by assault. Thiebaut, the colonel of the French legion, and Garabaldi. the commander of the Italian forces, with their followers. got up puch a storm of opposition that the government ‘was compelled to imprison some of the petitioners.and the bani hment of others was demanded; of the result of this demend | am not informed—doubtless it will be a revolu- tion, of which you will hear in afew days. Some four teen of the petitioners became alarmed and published a recantation, saying they had signed without mature de- liberation, and were not aware at the time, that the step reoommended would be derogatory to the honor of the governmeut Monsjeur Devoi: General, called upor France waracting as mediator—had guaranteed the in- dependence of the Banda Oriental, and that, therefore. | no change or movement towards a settlement must take place till he could receive instructions from his govern- ment. So stood matters at our Inst advices. ‘The government had again exhausted its means; the loan-jobbers were assembled, and agreed to advance eighty thousand dollars a month for six months, to be seoured are pledge of the duties for the year 1950. | And will our government and other neutal nations | continue to permit their whole commerce with La Plata to besubjected to this tribute, levied by these French ae the benefit of these loan-jobbers in Monte- leo? Congrens will assemb'e soon after you receive this. | | do hope you will call their atten‘ion, and that of the Pre- sident to this subject If they are ignorant of the facts, ask them toread the brief history of this whole inter- vention, in my letters published in your paper in August and September of last year. and two others, one dated last and the other this month. True,1 have only used the signature,“A Citizen of the U.8,” to which you know I am entitled. If they doubt any of my state- ments, I -premame they will find them corroborated in the official despatches of our late and present chu-qvs, if they have mentivued the subject, and to doubt their having mentioned it, would be to doubt the discharge of their plainest duty. 1am well aware that it is neither the practice nor po- licy of our government to interfere in the quarrels of other nations; but here the protection of her own com- meroe and her own flag demands her interference in some In the days of her youth she did interfere, and that effectually too, to protect her commerce from the tribate levied by the corsaira of Tripoli; and I ask any one, in what the tribute levied upon un iu this river, by the French, for the few who have bought the cus toms in Montevideo, is more just, or more in accordance with international law. than was that levied by the Tri- politans and Algerines? There was a joint drclaration ofa Moskade by England and France; this in ended by the withdrawal of England But this sside—France does not ecto to enforceit. Thurs is but the French brig Pandour lying off this port, to bleckade this whole province She does not pretend to capture or stop any vessel entering or sailing with cargo of any kind, pra vided it is knewn said cargo has or will pay duties Fito the custom-house in Montevideo. That custom-house, 18 | have 60 often said, belongs to a few foreigners who have advanced money to sustain the so called govern- ment. These are the simple facts, and I again ask. not the French navy playing the corsair, to levy an just tribute upon the commerce of La Plata, for th profit and ‘advantege of the loan-jobbers of Monte- video ? Will our government, and other neutrals, continue to submit to the exaction of this tribute money ? There have buen but few captures by these corsnire. and this for the reason, I premume, that there have been but few attempts to avoid the payment of tha tribute monry. The prospect of advantage {s not sufficient to induce individual enterprise to Jeopardise their vessel and cargoes. ‘There has been no United States vorsel of war in this river for many months, and if there ware, I presume their rigid notions of neutrality would prevent them from interfering, without instructions from the govern- ment. Yours, ke , A CITIZEN OF THE U.S. From Entrerios, news upto the 28:h August had been received; no movements denoting mili- tary designs were then in preparation. News from Buenos Ayree 10 the 2nd of Sep tember had been received at Montevideo. There was considerable excitement there, in conse- quence of the uncertainty of Oribe’s move- ments. On the 26th the House of Legislature approved of Rosas’ conduct in the matter of the English and French intervention, andthe popu- lar feeling was very much excited against the foreigners. the French Charge and Consul the governor, and told him that at City Intelligence.

Madame Bishop and Mr, Reeve appeared’as Amina and Elvine, (the two principal characters.) and to our mind, did not fail to equal some of the happiest efforts of those distinguished operatic | performers who preceded them on the European boards. | It is generally admitted by the musical world, and | amongst critical amateurs, that “La Sonnambula,” in | artistic design, in pathos, and g neral conception, is one | of Bellini’s most exquisite productions ; and most cer- tainly it is no bad criterion of the musical taste and | knowledge of a New York audience, to have to say that the opera was attentively listened to throughout the whole piece, and that every brilliant point and passage were cheered with much judgment and generosity. Madame B,’s air of “ O, love me, for thy power,” was brilliantly executed, and commanded repeated bursts of applause. — Her voice pos:oases a sound, clear tone, like @ bell. Its compass and volume are considerable, and evidence much training and careful education. Besides such mechani- cal advantages, this accomplished lady exhibits a hearty and wholesome enthusiasm of feeling. She enters into the spirit of the composer and the occasion ; and this never fails to carry with her the hearts of her audience. Since we had the pleasure of seeing her in Europe, she hus much improved as 4 prima donna, by practice and experience ; and whenever she may appear again before a London audience, she will be sure to command increased eeve, as Elvino, supported the high cha- racter he has vlrendy acquired ns a tenor of considerable celebrity. His falsetto 1s about as sweet and melodious as any voice of that peculiar quality we ever heard; and it he should use it oftener, we apprehend it would gratify many admiring audiences. * Take now this ring, 'tis thine fove,” with Amina, and cnorus, afforded Mr. R an opportunity of proving the baautiful softness, pliancy, and brillianoy of his voice. ‘The shake of both united, intermingled as intimately as those dissolving views which are made to bafile so curiously the sense of vision Mr. Reove’s “Still so gently o'er me stealing” was gl riously sung Inst night. It was greeted with gre cheering. But the crowning piece was the solo by Madame Bishop, at the conclusion of the third act. It was encored three times, and each time it was mora vebemently cheered than before. And deservedly; for feeling, nature and art, combined to create one of the mort exquisite musical morceaus it could be possi ble to listen to. Twice, during the opera, had this gift- ed onntatrice to come before the curtain and receive the plaudits of a delighted audience. M’lle Korsinski and Signor Valtellinaas Lizu and Rhodolpho, supported most oreditably and efficiently the characters commit: ted to their care. Mlle K hes a good voice,which, un- der proper cultivation, must at no distant day become an acquisition to the musical world. Signor V. possesses a of powerful volume and scope, and asa melo dramatist, is a performer of no mean pretensions. In such a theatrical notice as this.it is impossible to give even the mest briet epitome of the plot or incidents of“ Son- nambula,” snd it must be heard to be properly appreciated. This evening ‘The Maid ot Artois” will be produced ‘The musie, though limited in quantity, was exsel- lent in quality—the same might be suid of the cho russes. The scenic arrangements were of « high order, and the general properties (as they are termed) reflected greut oredit on the managers, More mu sic, an increased chorus, and the bullet—and New York oun never be satisfied without an operatic company. and we remember how, last year, in London, the press— particularly the Morning Post and Herald, and the Court Journal—came out in praise of Madame Bishop ta a debutante in the part of Isoline in this oper Che articles written on the subject were the emanations of men who felt a pleasure in acknowledging and foster ing genius snd talent. Atter the“ Maid of Artois,” the grand scena from the opera of ‘Il Funatico per lu Mu- sica.” which was received last night with such convul- sions of laughter and loud applause, will be repeated upon this, ‘The celebrated De Beguis, who has bad such fame asa buffo and bass singer, will give his in- structions as a mad musician to his distinguished pup’ Madame B, After which a scene from “ Norma,” wi another from the “ Love Spell,’ will follow, presenting » dill of fare surpassing in attraction any other of the season. Bowsny Tuxatns.—The “ Battle of Bunker Hill” is decidedly one of the most popular pieces that has been produced at the Bowery Theatre for some time past. Next to the “Siege of Monterey, or the Triumphs of Rough and Ready,” it receives as much applause as any piece ever exhibited on these boards, It draws very large houses, and will continue to draw them as often as it is repeated, In will be performed again this evening. ‘The comedy “Buried Alive,” and the drama of ‘William Tell, the Hero of Switzerland,” will conclude the even- ing’s amusernents. We perceive that Mr. Blakely’s be- nefit is announced to take place to-morrow evening. We have no doubt it will bo a good one. Cuatuan Taratne.—The three excellent artists who have drawn such large houses at this establishment for some days past, viz., Mr. De Bar, Miss Vallee, and Bar- ney Williams, will appear in three favorite pieces this evening—in the domestic drama, the “ Wept of Wish- Ton-Wish,” the Irish drama of “ Born to Good Luck,” and the comedy of the “ Limerick Boy.” ‘These pleces are eminently well calculated to show these artists to advantage, and we need hardly say to such as intend visiting this place of amusement this evening, that they will be highly gratified with the programme set forth for thelr entertainment. Crncus—Bowery Amruitneatre.—Fun and merri- ment are running rampant, we may say, at the old clr- cus, where Gosein and Donaldson, the famous clowns and comic singers, are performing The various per- formances in the way of horsemanship, vaulting, gym- nastics, &c. add all to the pleasure of an evening’s at- tendance at the circus. The whole will conclude with Gosein’s famous mock heroic of “Santa Anna’s Flight” —nojfiction, by the bye. Tanennactr—Hers anv Sivoni’s Concert.—A very fashionable and numerous audience, amounting to about three thousand persons, assembled, Iagt evening, in the Tabernacle, to witness the last appearance of these cele- brated artists, The concert was brilliant, and though wo did not admire all the points of the pieces performed, we were, 48 well as the public, satisfied with le tout en- The overture of “William Tell’? was first semble, introduced by the orchestra Ite sublime beginning, which opens with a morceau d’ensemble, plaved by six violoncelli, was executed with taste and ability.

Unrow Course, L 1L—Taortiva.—A trotting match for $600, two mile heats, in harness, between g. g. Grey Harry and b m. Philadelphia Sal, took place yesterday afternoon, which was won easily by the mare in two straight heats. The weather, yesterday, was truly delightful. The air was as soft and mild as the loveliest day of Juno, and the firmament above presented clear aad broad expanse of etherial blue, uninterrupted by a single cloud. Awarm and gentle breeze from the South swept over Long Island, and seemed to awaken into new life the merry birds, who carolled wild and blithely asif exulting im the advent of an unexpected springtime. Indeed. & lovely day seems to inspire everything with an unwonted cheerfulness; men to whom murky weather is but the harbinger of desponding thoughts, revive under the rootaing influence of a bland and pleasant day, and casting aside the images of despair, assume the happy mood of peace andcontentment. Yes, let fortunefrown, friends desert, or the bright visions of our existence fade into nothingness—a pleasant day seldom fails to impress us with pleasant thoughts, and, if the fire of energy be not utterly quenched, rekindles it afresh, and incites a noble zeal to struggle anew with the storn realities of life. ‘The attendance at the course was not large, and the betting, in consequence, mot very extensive. The Philadelphia mare was the favorite at two to one. The track was in good order, and a close contest was antici- ated. " First Heat.—Grey erry drew the track. At the ‘irst attempt they got off, Grey Harry about a length in front of Sal; but she caught up with him on the turn, ‘and they passed the quarter pole, side and side, in 39 seconds. They kept well together down the back stretch, and reached the half mile pole in 1:20, Harry about # length in front. The mare took sides with him in on the lower turn, and they swung on the home stretch with their heads togethe: From the three quarter pole to the stand, Sul appeared to have the best of the strugele, and she passed the score w length abead of Harry in 2:41, the grey horse haviog broked withio « few yards of the jadges’ stand. From here to the first quarter of the next mile, Harry fell off four or five lengths, it appearing that two miles were more than he bargained for, Hiram Woodruff, however, not wishing to be left too fur in the rear, raliied the horse to his top- most speed again, and Grey Harry made a desperate ef- fort to overtake Sal; and although he gained but little until he passed the half nile pole, he gradually closed up a large portion of the space between him andethe mare round the turn and up the stretch; but he could win, “Sai Jed home three lengths in front ot him, in —muking the time of the hest 6:24. Second Heat —'Cho friends of Sal, as the nags came on the track for this heat, offered twenty to four on her. but this odds was not taken to any extent. Soon ufter leaving the score, Grey Harry broke up and fell off about twoleugths, At the quarter the mare was only a length in front—time 39 seounds—und down the back stretch they were side apd side to the half mile pole. They pussed there, locked together, in 1:18, and continued close together all round the lower turn and up the home stretch, passing the judges’ staud in 2:39. Leaving there. Harry fell off, us in the previous heat, and notwithstand- ing the exertions of Mr. Woodruff, to force him forward, he gradually lost ground, giving Sal an opportunity ot breatbiog freely. She continuedat an easy galt all round, and reached the score four or five lenths in front of Har- ry, in 2:62, making the time of heat, 5:31, RECAPITULATION. Time—First Heat. Time—Second Heat.

American Doe was the iavorite, previous to the start, at 10 to 7, against the field, and after the first heat much longer odds were offered on her. Lady Clay bebaved very badly, making it nearly night before the race began ‘The last three heats of the contest were performed in the dark, and all wore closely contested throughout be- tween Plum Bob and American Doe, the latter winning the first heat, and Plum Bob the three last and the purse. The proprietors of trotting tracks should, on all occa, sions, have horses start at jeast at the hour advertised, think, be selected, as the season wanes, with great pro- priety.

Upon opening the matter, it appeared that similar proceedings wero instituted ageinst the defendants by the Bank of Com- merce, the Manhattan and the Phenix Banks, and some others, and the rules of the court requiring that these parties should haveelght days notice of the proceedings in thjg couse, the court directed that farther proneed- jourd be postponed to Friday, the 12th instant, atin the meantime, notice should be given to and the attorneys of all parties in interest [The proceeding against Prime, Ward & Co, by the Jefferson County?Bank, is believed to be the first in which it has been sought to give to the Btillwell act the effect now claimed. That act has usually been supposed to embrace only cates of fraud. The claim now is that whenever a party has obtained a Judgment, he cai proceed against the defendant, under this act, the moment he makes a demand on the detendant to apply any rights of action which he may have to the paymont of such judgment, and a.request to ppply them. In the ordinary course of “proceedings, an execution cannot be issued on the judgment until 30 days after it is rendered; but the plaintiffs insist bi that their right under the act in question is immodiate, Prime, Ward & Co., it is said,decline to appropriate their property, except pro rats, among their creditors, and | deny that the refusal to apply it to the payment of par- ticular creditors is the “unjust refusal’ mentioned in the Stillwell act.
