We are inundated with articles and plans for the pacification of Mexico. Every doctor of the day comes forward with some special dose. Mr. Clay, im his recent amateur message, gives us his plan ; then ex-Secretary Gallatin comes with his message to Congress. We give, in another * part of this day’s paper, three or four several plans upon this question, One of these, very remark- able to find, is from the columns of our cotempo- rary the Courier and Enquirer—the others are from anonymous querters. But'the most impor- tant of all the plans, is that contained in a letter from our Washington correspondent—a plan pro- posed by Gen. Quitman, and which really seems the best yet devised. The pacification of Mexico, or the settlement of the Mexican question, 1s, indeed, a difficult matter, to be decided by the American Govern- ment. Every fresh arrival trom that unfortunate republic, only proves the impossibility of making any treaty, and the inutility of expecting any set- tlement with them, as an independent nation. All the elements of social and political life are in utter confusion; the military caste is nearly demolished by the American arms; no one knows where Santa Anna is; the attempts of Paredes to go back to a monarchy, or of Almonte and Penato establish a republic, will probably be equally fruitless. It is now very probable that the most important element in the settlement of the Mexican ques- tion, will be the Mexican clergy, by whose means this object, perhaps, may be effected. In this view of the subject, the recent meeting to address the Pope, aeld here at New York, and the purpose of Mr. Polk to create a mission to Rome, may have a very important bearing on the general question. If, through the contem- plated mission to Rome, some influence might be obtained with the holy father, it would be possible, perhaps, for the American government to come to some pacification through the clergy. But what this may be, no one can tell. We must wait for events PuitosornicaL INTELLI@ENCE.—When one phi- losopher leaves us another comes. Professor Agassis has been here for the last few weeks, giv- ing lectures on natural history to admiring au- diences. His last lecture was the most remarke- ble one of the whole series, for he showed that the creative power of the Great Maker of all things, had been entirely exhausted in his last great effort to make man in the shape he is in.— This is a most curious conclusion to arrive at.— Man, in his present condition, is not very perfect. He has a great many weaknesses, and we think, without disparagement to Prof. Agassis, or to human nature, that a great many improvements could be made in man, and woman too; and yet this distinguished savan believes that the whole circle of creation is new complete, and that we have nothing higher to expect than what we see. Well, if it is so, it can’t be helped; but we hope there are some wonders of nature yet to be deve- loped. A new philosopher has commenced— Professor Mitchell; who is delivering lectures on astronomy; and we hope, before he closes his course, that he will give us his opinion about the characteristics of creation, and whether, really, in his belief, the power of the Almighty has been exhausted in furnishing the world with the weak and erring mortals we see aroundus. On the whole, however, the ingenious author of the “Vestiges of Creation” produces more conclusive proof to us in the idea that we are merely in a progressive state, and that the Divine Power has by no means exhausted all the powers of crea- tion, but will work great changes in the next ten millions of years. Prooress or THE Acx.—That very remarkable and ingenious philosopher, Orastus Bronson, has been issuing his thoughts down East, and ap- pears to be decidedly one of tne most ultra ca- tholics of the day. During the last six or eight years, Professor Bronson, from the exuberance of his originality and the pressure of his genius, has adopted almost every Christian belief that he could lay his hands upon, believed them all, and has made a complete circle of piety. He is now one of the greatest catholics of the day. Judging the future from the past, we would not be sur- prised to see him adopt Mahommedanism in less than six months; and in order to facilitate him in this transition, for this is an age of transition, we have an excellent copy of the Koran, which we willpresent him with, and which will fur- nish him with arguments with which to create a fresh sensation in the world. Tue Rorucuitps.—The history of the present house of Rothschild—its first beginning, its rise and progress, and the steps by which it attained its present power in the world, is a history of greatcuriosity. During our visit to Europe, we collected materials for such a history, in Paris, London, Frankfort, Vienna, and Naples. The parent of the house, and the mother of the whole race, still lives in one of the narrowest and dirtiest streets of Frankfort, yet the branches, in all the capitols of Europe, and their descendants, live in the most splendid palaces. They are con- nected with all the governments of Europe—are concerned in all the great speculations of the day—in corn, cotton, stocks, and every thing; and even American stocks,that are so much talked of in Europe, was one of their chief objects of speculation before the States failed in paying their interest. TueatnicaL Business.—The old theatres seein to be picking up every day, and the new ones getting into a worse position. We understand that Mr. G. Vandenhoff has resigned his post of stage manager at the Broadway theatre. We are afraid that Col. Mann, whom we highly es- weem, and who is a very worthy gentleman, has not a very well organized troupe of under ma- nagers to carry on his business. The new thea- tres have a hard hill to climb before they can get to the paying peint. It would be almost as easy to go to the crater of Vesuvius «nthe shoulders of adozen Neapolitans, and nearly as cheap, as to build up anew theatre in New York. Curar Booxsrutine.—We are on the verge of a great revolution in the article of literature and cheap books. By the inventions recently made in printing machinery by the ingenious Mr. Hoe, ot this city, we look to the day when the present prices of cheap literature now issued by the Har- pers, the Appletons, and other booksellers, will be reduced to at least one-third, if not one-half, what it is at this time. Indeed, we do not despair to see the day when literature (we don’t speak of newspapers) will be as cheap in the United States as it is in China. From Sr. Cuoix —The ship Emily, Captain Davis, arrived yesterday, ina passage of thirteen days, from St. Crois. No news. Timothy Childs, Esq, of Rochester, died on board the Emily on the 26th ult. He was a brother of Gol. Childs, the gallant eommander of the Ame- riean forces at Puebla. Th traordinary system of communication isonly insits imfancy} Every year, nay, every month, seems to be only adding to its powers and augmenting its efficiency. One of the great- est drawbacks to the general utility of the system is the expensiveness of conveying messages or intelligence from one distant point to another. Growing out of this expensiveness, attempts have been made to arrive at economy, by improv- ing the mode of communication, so far as relates to the characters used. When we first attempted to bring into action the powers of electricity for communicating early intelligence from distant places, this expensiveness was a great drawback to the enterprise, together with the tediousness of the operation, which particularly was the case when there was a great press of business at the various telegraphic offices. In order to obviate these obstacles,as well as to obtain a more econo- mical use of the telegraph for the newspaper press, an individual connected with this estab- lishment—a person of great ingenuity—invented a mode of operation which has been in use for the last year, and which has been found exceedingly ingenious, economical, and useful, both to the proprietors of the telegraph and to the public at large. As specimens of the working of the system, we submit the following market reports, dated the 18th, and published in the Sunday Herald of the 14th of November, and copied into the Phila- delphia papers next day. One peculiarity of this system is such, that where a word is incorrectly sent, or “‘ murdered” by the telegraph, its mean- ing can generally be ascertained by what comes before and after it.

The difficulty of inventing a system of short- hand for condensing communications to be trans- mitted by magnetic telegraph, grew out of the fact, that no stenographic, or short-hand, charac- ters hitherto in use, could be adopted, trom the nature of the registering machines. Moreover, the telegraph companies, by adopting rules, to charge all figures and all letters in arbitrary words, not forming common English words, each as a word, forced upon the inventor the necessity of inventing a plan of condensation, by the use of plain English words; fraught, however, with a comprehensive meaning unknown to the tele- graph operators themselves, or other parties than those taught its use. Before, however, the rules of the company became known, the inventor de- vised a system of arbitrary words, which was af- terwards thrown into the fire; on account of the rule above stated. He then set about devising one calculated to come within the require- ments of the companies, and at the expense of of intense and long continued mental labor, he devised no less than three different plans, each of which, in its turn, was rejected, until the last was matured, and which, by subsequent improve- ments, has been rendered, in the opinion of those competent to judge, more perfect than any thing of the kind can probably ever be made, and which the inventor has in daily use between New York and seven other different cities.— Various other parties have devised plans, but those who have been made acquainted with each consider this by far the most complete and com- prehengive, and especially so for commercial re- porting, which is attended with much difficulty, and requires much patient care. Thus, the sys- tem provides for giving the quantities of articles sold, the names, kinds, or qualities of each, and the prices at which each sold, with ‘such minuteness as to express all the simple fractions of a unit, as 1-16, }, and so on up to j or 7-16, or 16-16. ‘ It also provides forall the general information about receipts, stocks on hand, sales and quota- tions of stocks, freights, depth of water in rivers,. ship news, clearances and arrivals, dullness, quickness, activity, falling or rising, state of markets, &c. The economy produced in tolls by such a system, when it is known that every word costs from 2k to 5 cents each, is very great, and enables newspapers to rececive communica- tions which they could not otherwise take, on account of the expense, and gives the telegraph lines business they would not otherwise get, and leads to the creation of much collateral business This is a wonderful invention indeed, em | bracing principles of economy for the newsp.- per press, and allowing the companies time to devote their energies to other ameliorations. And yet this economical aystem, we are inform- ed, has given umbrage to some companies and managers, and they are endeavoring to find out other measures less to the advantage of the newspaper press. We think this is ill-judged, and that they ought to encourage every method in aid of the press and its economical supply of words, forthe less time which they have to de- Treasury public. But the whole te- I-graphic businesgei# an experiment, and Con« gress ought to take it up, amd examine whether it might not bemade a bram¢h of the Postoffice Department, thereby securing its ral use and efficiency throughout the whole country. The Prospects growing out of this wonderful inven- tion are unlimited. Its application in our own country may be greatly extended. _ Lines could be extended from the Observatory in Washington to all ovr principal, seaports, and as the ball drops at meridian in Washington, a ball could be made to drop at the same moment in each seaport; or a cannon be fired in each, by which sea captains could set their chro- nometers. Thus one good observatory at Washington could be made available for all the seaports and principal cities on the continent. By sintilar means, clocks could be set up and made to tick at the same moment, and keep the same time, and show the daily longitude for every city in Americh. This application of elec- tricity 19 but in its infancy. The day of judg- ment is at hand. The time will come, probably, when Cuba will be connected with the continent, and Havana and New York thrown into daily communica- tion. If so, other West India Islands may be connected with Cuba. As civilization advances, plans may be per- fected for connecting Europe and America. Russia has only to run a line through Siberia to the Straits of Kamschatka, and we to run a line hence to the Pacific, with a branch to join the Russian line across the straits aforesaid. Then, by connecting the capitals of Europe with Sr. Petersburg, all parts of the civilized world would be thrown into daily communication. The Eng- lish, by running a line to Constantinople, might cross the Bosphorus into Asia, and thence extend lines to Bombay, Calcutta, and even to Canton, in China. This may, and probably will, happen, in the course of years. Later rrom Havana.—By the bark Childe “Harold, ,Capt.

It appears that about the 20:h of last month Mr. Elias B Holmes calted at the of- fioe of Mr. Hamilton, in order to pay $870 due on a mort- g4ge, and in the absence of Mr. Hamilton, Moody re- ovived the above sum, giving a receipt therefor, This fi ing itover to Mr. Hamliton, Moody gambling houses, for ing, and going in for the chances amount; thereby mske himself “hank,? aod still have the principal on hand to pay overto Mr, Hamilton.

The “Ta- bleaux Vivants,” by the Model Artists of the theatre. seem to improve on every successive exhibition, and we would advise all those who have not as yet seen them, to visit the theatre next week, as we understand they will be withdrawn to give place to other novelties. To-mor- row evening. the performances commence with Cole- man’s beautiful play of the “ Mountaineers” Mr. Hield performs the character of “ Octavian,” and Mrs. Mc- Lean that of“ Floranthe.” The Model Artists will next tollow, and the entertainments will conclude with the pantomime of the “Golden Key.” An excellent pro- gramme for one evening. Aston Prace Orrna.—Last evening being “ extra night,” as we were informed by the bills, ‘the seats of boxes, parquette and baloony of the Astor Place Opera house were thrown open to the public.” Yet the pub- lio did not appear to appreciate the condescension, for a very small audience was in attendance. With the ex- ception of the canaile in the upper regions, there were not over two hundred people inthe house Notwith- standing this, however, ‘Ernani,”’ the opera performed, was received very well.
