Tus Avrocrar or rag Newsrarer Priss.— Meny of the gossipping papers amuse themselves and the: ders very much, in their estimation, by represe the conductor of the New York Herald, poleon of the press,” the ‘“charlatan of the press,” the ‘‘ tyrant of the press,” &c. &c. Perhaps they will not be pleased to learn, that there is not so much ofa joke in these appella- yns as they imagine. At this moment the Herald has a larger and more extensive circu- lation, and is read by a greater number of indi- viduals, than a ournal in the civilized the most popular jour- Oar aggregate circu- lation about th ys, is nearly forty seven thousand copies, aud at one period during the last iew months, it reached over fifty thousand, being Sifty thousand eight hundred and eighty.

It is without a parallel in New York, London, or Paris; and such a fact can be established by the most indisputable evidences One of the wonders of th with which this London Times b and the most flou continent and in the old have taken about a third more time, toreach a lower point of circulation then it has taken the Herald to reach its present stand ing. The rapidity and growth ef the Herald es- tablishment are extraordinary; and the momen- tum with which it moves forward, is just us re- markable as that ofthe growth itself. Another point,—the cheap journals of the day are,read by only one or two persons, those who subscribe tothem. In this respect, the Herald differs fronrits contemporaries. There is hardly a number of the Herald thut is not read by at Teast half a dozen people, for every copy is pas ed round, from hand to hand, in hotels, railroad cars, public offices, and private houses, wher- ever seen ; so that the readers of the Herald ma be estimated at nearly halfe million of the most intelligent people of the age, in both the old world and the new.

We are presses, vaults, constructing fast am engines, and reconstruct- ing our whol¢ establishment from top to bottom, in such a way as will enable us to publish sucha journal as will be unexampled in the history of newspapers from the discovery of printing to the present day.

The Mr. McIntosh mentioned above, is the agent of the English in Mexico, and for a long time has enjoyed a monopoly of the exchange business. It is not at all unlikely that he has interested himself to the utmost of his power to geta treaty negotiated, for the purpose of pro- tecting and favoring the English interests in that country, which are very extensive, and connected principally with the mines. In case the United States should ultimately determine to hold on to Mexico, it would be of the highest importance to those interested to know what disposition would be made of their claims; and therefore, it is not improbable that he has exert- | ed himself to procure such a treaty as would ob- viate the complete annexation of the country. Ifso, it is not unlikely that the whole matter will end insmoke. Purivy amone Atpermen —By the eleventh section of an act to amend the charter of the city of New York, it is provided, that no alder- man, or assistant alderman, shall be directly or indirectly interested in any contract that ex- presses any consideration whatever, or which is to be paid under any order of the Common Council. This isa plain and distinct provision inthe charter. Now, it appears, that the third ward is represented by a certain gentleman, who is ealled Alderman McElrath. It also sppears, thet this same gentleman is part proprietor of the New York Tribune; and it appears also, that, during the last few months, our contemporaries of that paper, have had contracts with the corpora- tion for advertising, equal to six or ten thousand dollars. Now, we would like to enquire, whether, under the eleventh section of the cherter of New York, this alderman and part proprietor of the Z'ribune, parti- cipates directly or indirectly in the profits of these advertising jobs ?. Some few days ago, our eminent contemporary proposed a bet to us that their advertising receipts were greater during the last year than were those of this establish- ment. If we could violate alaw of the corpora- tion and a section of the city charter with im- punity, and procure jobs in that way for six or ten thousand dollars, contrary to that charter, perhaps we might be able to exhibit a total amount of receipts equal to that of our bpasting contemporary. But this matter will not stop here. The city election is approaching—the people of the third ward will soon be called upon to elect for another year their alderman and agsiatant alder- man, and then it will become a question how far the present alderman has participated in | these advertising joba, or to what length he has | violated the provisions of the charter, which he | swore to obey on his induction into office. But | the matter ought not to rest even here, and we | call on some honest, independent member of the | Board of Aldermen, to propose a resolution, and | enquire whether the alderman of the third ward | has participstea in the profits of these advertis- | ing jobs, 1n violation of the city charter; and | this must be done ‘Tua Ferrizs.—The Board of Aldermen will meet to-morrow evening, and it is expected that \ the report in relation to ferries will come up for action. We have repeatedly had occasion to re- | fer tothe numerous abuses connected with our for years enjoyed a monopoly, to the manifest in- | jury of our citizens in general. New York city, | being situated onasmall island, with its im- | mense population, is blessed with the most pic. | tureeque scenery in the immediate suburbs | that can well be imagined. The air is pure, the river scenery enchanting—yet, should |any of the citizens choose to take a little recreation, or breathe a little fresh air, he can- not pass across any of our rivers without paying | an exorbitant sum for his trip—exorbitent in consideration of the distance and the accommo- dation. Many of our citizens, in particular the laboring classes, who can only enjoy their Sun- day afternoons, choose to remain in the city in | preference to submitting to what they deem an | imposition ; and, indeed, the best commentary we can make upon the system, is, that during the summer months, we can take a trip to Bull’s Head ferry, four miles, and to other spots in the vicinity of cur city for almost the same price that we are obliged to pay in crossing Hoboken, New Jersey, or Williamsburgh, some few hundred yards. Passengers are taken to Albany for fifty cents; and when we take these facts into consideration, why should the ferry | companies be allowed to enjoy such a monopo- ly ? It is quite in the power of the Common Council to remedy these abuses; and we trust | ferry system in New York—the awners having | to} Mexican Affairs. , Wasutneton, February 12, 1848. Congress was not in session te-day. It is ru- mored that letters have been received from Mr. William MeIntosh, an Eaglish merchant im the city of Mexico, declaring that the Mexican au- thorities were favoring negotiations for peace, and that afi influence was being attempted ac- cordingly upon the president. ‘Nerrible Raliroad Accident. [Telegraphic Correspondence of Phila. Bulletin | _ Reapina, Feb. 12, 1848, 10 A.M. A distressing railroad accident occurred last evening near Schuylkill Haven, caused by the breaking of the truckle axle of a freight train locomotive. The locomotive and part of the train were thrown off the track, killing a Mr. Lynch, of King Spring. Three others, names not ascertained, were dreadfully scalded. One of them, it 1s feared, will not recover. Markets. Bactimone, Feb. 12 —Flour—The market continued Guil.

E. Plunket, captain in the royal navy. The object of the work is toawaken public atten- tion to the necessity of adapting the naval organ- ization of England to the great change in naval matters created by steamships, improvements in gunnery, &c , &c.; and in the introduction we find the following remarkable%ind curious allu- sions to the United States, and our war with Mexico :— Yes! we should not look with jealousy upon the inevi- table progress of our trans-Atlantic brethren, who must and will some day preveil over degenerate Spaniards as surely as the forefathers of those Spaniards prevailed over the helpless aborigines. In the practioal energy of the Anglo-American citizens we trace the charaeteris- tics of our adventurous forefathers, who on the same shores bearded the Spxniard in his day of pride. Pos- sibly the unscrupulousness as well as daring of these early adventurers way re-appear among our American kinemen: we do not justify their aguressions, yet we must not too severely condemn the faults which, until lately, were our own; and few will deny that the cause of civilization would gein by the substitution of Anglo- Saxon energy for ths hopeless imbecility of Mexican, Peruvian, or Chilisn governments. If the people of the United States have not justice on their side in their present quarrel, we may yet be proud to recognize im their measures ‘for carrying on the war,the humanity and forbearance of our common stock. itis that bumenity, and a practical business-like view of the end and object of territorial acquisition, which | point out the United States as our naturai allies and col- leagues in the great work of spreading civilization. In the track of either nation, wherever they advance thsir standards, there follow the artsof peace and the bless- ‘ngs of commerce. The din of war has scarce ceased, the smoke of the lest gun has scarco cleared away, ere the pioughsbare is in the ground, the builder is at his pesceful labora, the harbors aud rivers swarm with ship- ping. and the victory of the sword becomes the cen- quest of civilization. Is it then unreasonable to eup- pose that toe race so qualified for the task by nature —to impelled towards it by national genius—so richly supplied with the requisite material means, Provi- dence may have assigned the duty of spreading civi- ligation all over the globe? Our teeming shores, like overstocked bee-hives, siready seek to abake off the superfluous swarme, while far more fertile lends, surely not iatended to be the perpetual abode of the beast and the savage, woo the labor which at home can find vo profitable employment. Each coming year will increase this wan't; and though a bad colonial system hae here- tofore checked this national tendency to emigration, we may hope that @ wiser policy will give it fresh lifs and vigor. Recent legislation has slready decreased the great expenses which restricted emigration; and when. ever the inished cost of steam navigation shall make it available for emigrants, it will be a giant stride iu the wame direction. When we consider also rapidly in- oreasing ratio in which the population of # young ceun- try advances (our two million colonists in America be- came a mighty nation in fifty years), it is not too much to suppose that withia the present century the Arglo- Saxon race will exceed one hundred million souls? !t would be a glorious vision that should embrace the dominions and the destinies of this great and energetic people; the one branch covering the American conti pent. other bound to no clime, confined to no coun- try, but bringing the many fair regions now wasted on the savage into the pale of British civilization,and plant. ing on thousand isles and ona thousand shores the banners the language, the laws, the freedom, and the worship of their forefathers. Whata remarkable difference there is between the tone and spirit of ¢hese remarks, and those ofthe London Times and other English papers, which let no opportunity of villifying and slan- dering the United States escape. Yet, we are confident that the opinions and hopes expressed in this book, are participated in by the mass of the leading military and naval officers of Eng- land, and a great proportion of the people. . ‘Tue American ARMY Gives Protection ‘ro THE Cevrcu or Mexico.—The following letter from Col.

She met with very bad weather shortly after leaving England. She re- paired at Corunna, and proceeded thence to Ma- deira, whence she continued her voyage to St, ‘Thomas; before reaching that port, however, she encountered further gales and damage; con- sequently, she remained at St. Thomas, and the Medway took her passengers and mails for dis- tribution. ay will return to Southampton direct from St, Thor ‘The captain of the Tay ist ‘one who Isft Havana for Cruz on that m ht, during which the late hurricane Isid ores of the Island.

Briggs, situated at No. 14 Daane strect, under the following circumstancee: It appears that on’ Wednesday last Mr. Briggs discovered that the putty bad been cut away from a pane of glass jocated in a window in the rear of his premises at once suspected that some burglar intended to force an eutrance; consequently, in order to ascertain the fact Mr. B. armed himselt with a double-barrel pistol and watched on Thursday and Friday nights for the approach of the expected robber. When sure enough, about 1 o'clock on Saturday morning, Mr. Briggs heard the footsteps of some one near the back door, and, after a few minutes, the bolt of the look was forced baok, and in stepped the robber. Mr. Briggs iramediately cocked bis pistol, and was just endeavoring ‘to take aim, when the rascal fled, followed closely by Briggs, who had nothing on but his night shirt, passing through an alley into Duane street, d up Duane towards Mr. Briggs not belag incumbered with clothes, gained on the robber, et giving an alarm of “Stop thief.” and c rascal to stop.

The accused. in bis flight, threw away large chisel and a short club louded at the end with lead, @ kind of hom» made billy” used by burglars Muol praise is due Mr. Briggs for the perseverance shown in the arrest of this burglar; slthough the race must have been rather se- vere, and yet withal cemical, to seo Mr Briggs streak- ing it against a north-west wind, sans culeites, with shirt flying in the breese, and a double barreled pistol in hand ready for action; which must ha’ een rather a cool operation, as it was ono of the coldest mornings we have. had this winter. Justice Drinker locked him up for trial. A Murderous ssault.—On last Thursday evening, just at sun down, a young lady, Miss Valentine, who re- sides with Mrs Crosby,a widow lady, at Whiteplains, Westchester county, on going up stairs to one of the bedrooms, she discovered # man who, upon seeing her coming, endeavored to secrete himself, but finding he wan discovered, ‘nd as Miss Vaisntine became alarmed, turned around suddenly and ran down stairs, followed closely by this rofilan, who struck her a violent blow on the back of the head, joflicting a severe wound, felling her to the floor insensibie. The villain then made his escape from the houss. He is described as follows —tell, with heavy black whiskers, wore a cap, brown over cout, and light striped pantaloonas. He is supposed to be a German. $25 is offered forthe arrest of the villain. Mise Valentine is confined to her bed from the effscts of the injury. A Newsboy in Cluver.—On Friday last.a newsboy by the name of Florence Sullivan, found « $100 bank biil in Wall street. This the bey considered a windfall, and in order to make it useful, engaged a negro, residing in Wall street, to exchange the same, which the negro did, charging @ sheve of $10 for his trouble With this amount of money, the boy thought of nothing else but the Chatham theatre and peanuts. However, he can- celled « few of bis outstanding debts, such as paying for some newspapers, coffes and cakes, segars, ke, and such debts as are incidental to the fraternity ot news- voye. Officer Stowell, of the 4th ward, was informed that this boy bad about him « large amouat of money, and in searching for his whereabouts. he found him ia a porter house, with seversl others, partaking of hot punches — | Oateking him into custody, the officer found on bis person $83 f the money During the day, yerterdey. Mr. 8 J.

At an early hour a large, | fashionable, and highly respectable company was seen promenading through the ball-room in beau- tiful style, to the music of the “Wright Guard.” The Guards were dressed in tull uniform, with all | their accoutrements, save what is necessary on the field. They are a fine, martial-looking | set of men; and, we have no doubt, should it be necessary, Would acquit themselves in the defence of their country as creditably as they did at the | ball the other evening, It was quite a treat to see them and their fair partners tripping grace- fully through the dance. We observed a goodly | number of the French company, also in full uni- form, who, «s Frenchmen always do, danced ad- mirably ; their happy, pleaeant countenances and their suavity ofmanners winning the esteem of all. We | were also pleased to observe number of the Conti- ntals present, whose unique but handsome uniform was much admired. They joined the company, and | danced yery much to the satisfaction of all. A short time before the interval, some of the members of the band belonging to the company ascended the orchestra, and, along with the others, played some beautiful pieces, which were loudly cheered. There were a great wany good looking, well dressed | young ladies ; so much go that it wos extremely ditoult to determine who should be the belie of the ball. We could have named quite ® number whose claime to that | title were well suported. One, however, wo thought attracted and exslaved more gentlemen than the othera— the brautifol vies B, of Broadwoy. Handsome figure, gracefully rounded ehoulders, of alabaster whiteness, features between the Roman and Grecian, large well formed forehead, what phrenologists would pronounce “wuperior developement,” beautiful dark brown hair, deep blue eyes, teeth like ivory, finely formed mouth, ruby lips, and witbal of graceful carriage She was dressed in plain Swiss inulin, tucked at tho rleeves with white ribbon, rich gimp round the bosom ani sleeves of dress, hair very plain, decorated with » wreath of flowers Miss G , of Elizabeth st., is also a very handsome young | Indy.

The evening performance was u!no well attended, ond every thing went off smoothly and plessantly. The gceat success which this circus company has met with has induced the proprietors, Sands, Lent & Co., to re main here another week; audas a wiad up to their pre- vious triumphs, they intend to bring out some extensive performances this comin, ek. Boweny Tueatee. Mr. Rice's beneiit last evening, at this popular theatre, was a deserved tribute to true genius and talent. We have seldom seen the Bowery so jam fall, every availble place of accommodation being literally choked up by anxious groups of spectators in ‘sil quarters of the house. The high popularity of Mr. Rice, independent of the powerful array of talent, and the highly attractive bill put forth by him for the occa- sion, sould not bnt have insured such a houss. The opening piece, “ Charles XU, or the Siege of Stral- turd,” presented by a bizhly talented cast, passed off with much é lut, Mr, W. Marshall, performing the character of Charles XIi.. to Mr Waloot’s Triptolemus Maddleworth ond Miss Clark’s Eudiga. “Bone Sqush Dinble,”’ succeeded the piece, in which Mr. Rice, who played the principal character, shone ont in his bright- e*t colors in this grand Ethiopian opera, and kept the house conyulsed with laughter. Christy’s Minstrels next appeared, and their reeeption was at once cordial ond enthusiastic ‘Lhe acknowledged telent of thin celebrated jopian band has long gained for them a distinguished reputation, and the audience were delighted throughout their entire performances.— “Oh! Susanna,’ suug by Mr. Goorge N, Christy, was vapturourly applauded, 4s, indeed, were the different songs aud performance of the entire Ethiopian com- pany. We have seldom beard s purer harmony, or more pexfect melody produced, in the execution of some of our most popular negro airs. “ Ross Lee,” by Mr E. ?. Christy, was sung with much sweetness, accompanied by the band; and, notwithstanding the house being crowded to its utmost capacity, from pit to dome, a pin could be almost beard-if it tell whilst there celebrated minstrels were performing. They have won fresh laurels by their appearance last evening at Mr. Rice’s benefit, We have Recusatiy avea the patrons of the Bowery en- joy the mauy rich barqucts prepared for them by the enterpricing and popuiar proprietor, Mr. Jackson; but last evening thelr delight seeined to have had no bounds, and they evinced their high appreciation of the enter- \ainments by continurd and rapturous applause through- out the evenivg. The entire performances passed off in a highly creditable menner. Wo take occasion to an bounce that the distinguished tragic actress, Mrs. Shaw, is engaged for a limited period. She willappear on Mon- day evening, as will be seen on reference to the bills of the day. Mrs. 5. isan eccomplisbed actress — possessed of hig talents, and ranks eminentiy high upon our beares, None, at present, can exceed her in legitimate drama, and the grear powers «ith which she is peouliar- ly gifted, will not fail to insure her her wonted recep- tion bere. We bespeak for her a warm and hearty greeting from her numerous friends on the ecoasion of her appearance to-morrow evening. Cuatuam Tueatar.—The performances at this tbe. aire, last evening, passed off with the grestest éclac. The amusements commenced with the drama of ‘ Jona- than Bradford,’ in which Mr. Brougham, os Dan Macreisey, aoquitted himself entirely to the satisfac- tion of the audience; aud Mrs. Wilkinson, as Anne Bradford, was in keeping with the high cbaracter abe has already acquired in her profession. Next came Brougham’s “ Living Pictures, or Physiograpbical Ex- periments,” which met with the warmest approbation. On Monday evening. a programme of the greatest inter- est ja presented, in whieh John Winans, a cowedian of at celebrity, will figure conspicuously, Also the lisses Denin, who aro well known, will appear in the dramas of the “Wandering Boys” eud “Lilian, the Show Girl”?
