In the matter of the pos! we consider in the highest degree unjust and il- | office advertising, which the Tribune illegally liberal. But afew years since it was the custom | received for two or three years, we demanded a to bestow, without stint, on the officers of the | scrutiny, and the result was the award of thet | ment, whether contending with superior or with ar y the very epithets now so liberally heaped upon those of the navy—and previous to the war of 1812 with England,a similar feeling in relation tothe navy existed; but it was more general. The war wth England gave the navy an oppor- tunity of evineing to their countrymen that it was equal, if not superior, to that of Great Bri- tain; it was successful in almost every engage- equal force—and not until this opportunity was afforded to it, did the officers receive from their fellow citizens those courtesies which mark the intercourse between the citizens and the officers of all other nations. They fought themselves into notice; end, instead of the navy of the Uni- ted States being destroyed in less than six months after the declaration of the war, as was predicted by its enemies, it came out of the war with a considerable accession to its numbers, captured from the enemy, and eovered with im- perishable honor to the country and the flag. In the war with Mexico the navy has had but little cpportunity of displaying the gallantry which marked its course in the war of 1812; but we trust and hope to prove that opportunity was alone wanted. In the army many an honored head has been laid low~ many a home desolated, portact despatches from the seat of government, | t® redeem them from the abuse; and while consisting of congressional reporte, &c.

The next ‘bit of ges let out”? was the bet of two hundred dollars for the benefit of the orphan asylums, on the re- spective circulations; and that, also, after a great deal of struggling and wriggling, and wry faces, was awarded to the Herald, ineluding, also, com- pensation for the two umpires—price fifteen ‘seach.

This is a specimen of our arithmetic; andif we were togo into the Tribune estublishment, we could give them some specimens of ‘‘ Ben- nett’s book keeping,” of account keeping, of affidavits, of morality, and several other matters. From the manner in which that concern keeps its accounts, as we leara, we are disposed to think that it isan impossibility for it to swear, with any degree of accuracy, to its daily cir- culation in the city of New York. It does not know directly its exact city circulation—it can’t ascertain it—it has no direct method of reaching such a point; and although the clerks who made their affidavit may have done so honestiy, and with perfectly good motives, we had, however, in the early part of the day, a few flashes from Washington; but, although of interest, they do not furnish us with any infor- mation regarding the progress of the treaty doubt very much whether the actual city circu- lation of the Tribune is over six or seven thou- sand, instead of nine thousand. We are certain, at least, that in the whig wards we circulate a mains witnessing to their devotion—the most | bitter and base hvart,the most calumnious tongue, | dare not revile their order; but it has been al- most thirty years since such an opportunity has towards ratification.

The eyes of all men are cast southerly now-a-days. In the General Agsembly of this State, yes- terday, the efforts of the members seemed pete | ticularly directed toward a revision of the code of morals, or rather to the establishment of a new code, designed to punish more effectually than under the existing system, the multifarious dere- lictions of moral duty to which flesh is heir to. Although a reform may be necessary in some of the evils which affect society in its social | organization, yet we doubt whether the correc- tive can be applied in the mode adopted by the | Solons and Solomons of Albany. Their efiorte, however, in the cause of public we will, doubtless, be appreciated by the community, and | if their philanthropic exertions result io nought in the present days of sin and wickedness, yet they mast not despair—for there may be a “ good time coming.” From Boston we have an account of a large | fire; and the intelligence that the Cunard steam- | er was not yet in sight. ‘The Treaty—Probable Modification, The well known fables of Esop inform us that we must not “‘cry till we are out of the wooa;” that there is ‘many a slip between the cup and the Jip"—and give us many more useful hints for our government in this world, which, if preetised | upon in time, and taken in doses administered bya skilful practitioner, @ /a Taylor, would be of essential benefit to us, as Mr. Polk has good reason to know. Applying this well known fable, therefore, to the project of @ treaty of peace with Mexico, now before the Senate at Washington, it would appear that we are notyet quite sosure of a speedy termination of the war with that country, and that we must not ‘cry till we are out of the wood,” or think we have peace until that treaty shal! have been ratified by our Senate, and afterwards by the Mexican Congress. From information that has come iato ourpossession, froma source | almost unquestionable, we Jearn that there isa | | growing opposition to that treaty at Washing- ton, both in the Seaate and out of it, since its | terms have become better known; and it may te considered as certain, that in its present shape, | at all events, it will not receive the eanction of that body. What the objectionable portions of it are, we do not at present know; but we are of opinion that itis that which legalises the Mexi- can grants of land in Texas, previous to the re- volution which separated that State from the Mexican confederacy. Tt may well be supposed that such a condition would be highly objectionable; for the quantity of loed granted in this manaer, and the number of crantees, are entively unknown, and might be almost lrge enough to cover the principal part ofthe territory of that State. These claims have never been respected in Texas, and there is no | good reason for allowing them now. Even if they were allowed, any attempt to carry them | into effect would be attended with endless liti- gation, and would be the cause of irritation, bad | feeling, and, perhaps, bloodshed. If this section, and other objectionable parte, be | stricken out, and ihe remainder ratified and es- sented to by our povernment, the next step | would be to despatch it to Mexico by commis- ners then the question will arise, will the Mexican Congress ratify it in its mod fid ep we look at the cireumstences which led to the war, and the ebstinacy with which it has t cated by the Mexican people, and the of the overture of peace among the bemselves, it admits, at all events, of 5 to the Mexican author Texas: but instead of recovering and reannex- i ing it, they hay » through the fortune of war, | exploits ?

In what service have there been more gallant illustrious by more gloricus spirits 1) To whom do the enemies of the navy allude, when they generally, by hoary routiniste and youthful martinets, who have- never thoroughly under- stood the theory of their profession? Is it the gallant Stewart, who captured the Cyane and Levant in the same action, and who has been recently considered, by a large proporticn of his countrymen, as possessing all the energy aud acquirements for the first gift in the hands ofthe people? Is it Jones, who captured the Frolic? Is it Morris, who was First Lieutenent | wards Lieutenant in the action with the Guer- | riere, and received a wound from which he has never yet recovered? Is it Warrington, | with Porter, and who has now recently chastised the Malays for ill-treating our sea- men in the merchant scrvice ? or is it Smith, action during the waz of 1812? Itissuch offi- characters are well known to their fellow citi- upon the enemy from 1812 to 1815; and although it may be attacked at home, it was never ques- tioned by the best spirits in the British navy. Again: Was it on landing ten thousand troops ina few hours, ina surf, without the slightest ac- cident, and in a manner never equalled in any service? Was itin taking the heavy guns from tothe shore, and raising a battery which first | made a breach in the walls of the city of Vera Croz? or was there a want of energy or chival- ry displayed when every officer shared in the his ship?

By the whig wards we mean the first, second, third and fifteenth wards of this city; and we will make a bet of one hundred dollars on each, that in each of these wards we have alarger cir- culation than the Tribune--such bet to be appro- priated to the public charities of New York. Won’t they consider that money, too, well ex- pended, if they can let out a little more of our gas in the same way ? N.B —We suppose their exclusion of the Sun- day Herald arose from their extreme piety and devotion to the Sabbath day. Does the same sentiment of piety authorise violations of the city charter, by giving advertising jobs to an | alderman? Come, a little more gas letting. | N.

Produce them rion—Tug Corroration.— The time for holding our charter election is | near at hand, and strange to tell, there seems to | be no disposition on the part ot our overburden- ed and plundered tax-paying citizens, to relieve themselves of the regularly planned system of corruption and mismanegement which they have suffered from so long, and complained of £0 bitterly. They have been, for a series of years past, buf- fetted about from pillar to post, and post to pillar, and cheated, and swindled, and plundered, and robbed of their money, in the shape of taxes, which has been taken from them nominally for the purpose of upholding the city government and conducting the municipal affairs of the city, but the most of which has gone into the puckets of the aldermen’s friends and favorites, and other co-workers in iniquity. It makes no difference in the amount of taxation levied, or in the amount of corruption and profligacy practised, whether the reins of our city govern- ment be held by whigs, democrats, or natives. The result, in allcases, is the same; and it would really appear as if the city expenditures were made ina spirit of rivalry by those parties—one trying to exceed the other in corruption and ex- travagance. But of all the governments—*‘ heaven save the mark”—which this goodly city has been af flected with, the present, perhaps, is the worst, the most extravagant, the most wasteful, and the most reckless Ia the face of the charter, which the members | have sworn on the Holy Bible to sustain and up- | become nightly scenes of licentiousness. .

There have been very few larger houses during the season. That opera is & very good and a very splendid production; but it seems somewhat heavy, and we doubt whe- ther it will draw that enthusiasm and succession ot full houses which the opera of “Luoreziga Borgia” has done. Truffi performed her part most admirably. She wins at every representa- tion, and must become one of the greatest favo- rites we have had in New York since the time of Malibran. Vietti exhibited much spirit and ta- lent, and a higher degree of enthusiasm than we have ever seen in his previous performances.— Beneventano was admirable; and we may say the same of Rossi, with some slight draw-backs Yet the opera went off rather heavily, and was particularly marred by a blunder made at the close, in the dying scene, produced by the scene shifters, Truffi herself had actually to pull off Vietti, to save his head from the faliing curtain. One of the most singular features of the even- ing, and on showing the progress which this refined and fashionable amusement is producing among society of all sorts in New York, was the appearance, dressed out in the most exqui- site style, white gloves and all, of a large de- tachment of the famous Empire Club, “huge paws,” or “ big fisters,” headed by the redoubta- ble Yankee Sullivan, rigged eut in perfect cos- tume, and looking every inch like a German baron, a French count, or an Italian marquis They were taken for all these by some of the fashionable people present. When these distingué gentlemen made their appearance at the outer door, in their big great- coats and white gloves, King, the policeman, was thrown into a fit of shivering, and immedi- ately communicated the intelligence to his as- sociates, On taking their seats in some of the most conspicuous chairs in the pit, one of them happened to make a mistake in a sent. King, at the request of the box keeper, went down and told him to move—to which one of them replied, very civilly:—‘We are very well seated, per- fectly satisfied, and we would rather not move.” King said, rather gruffly:—You must move;” at which this distinguished chevalier, who was taken to be, at least, an Italian marquis, by some of the fashionables, put up his fore finger very significantly before King’s face, and shook it, saying:—“King, I know you, and you know me. You’re a d~—d hog, and you know it; and if you don’t behave yourself like a gentleman in this place, where there are so many beautiful ladies all around, I will throw you over the foot-lights, upon to the stage, and make you sing among the chorus.” King then shook his feathers, and went into the private room of the managers, and told them the circumstance, at which they were prodi- giously alarmed. A message was immedi- ately sent for Mr. Matsell, the Chief of Police, also for the captain of the Fif- teenth ward, and a possé of officers, for no one knew what would be the result of the night. But strange to tell, these distinguished “boys,” Yankee Sullivan at their head, walked out be- tween the acts, lounged round the lobbies, pa- traded the ante-rooms, went down to the bar, tasted the brandy, said it was dear at a shilling a glass; however, they made up by filling to the brim, and conducted themselves with so much propriety, and so much gentlemanly feeling, that they were very generally taken by those who did not know them, for distinguished foreigners from Europe—by the ladies, principally. One of the party, a good looking young fellow, with light hair and light moustaches, was pointed out, and a lady asked who he could be. ‘I remember,” said she, “meeting with such a fine looking gen- tleman in our travels in Germany, a year ago, aod his name was, I think, Baron Sweedie- bout.” Infact, Yankee Sullivan and his “boys” seemed almost to outstrip many of those cheva- liers who sport moustaches, either natural or dyed in the wool. At the close, they applauded most vociferously—said Truffi was a most superb woman, though they did not understand her “lingo,” as they called it; that Beneventano was a capital “boy,” but Rossi too clumsy by a jug- ful, &c., &e. Such, already, is the humanizing effect of the Italian Opera in New York on some of its honest, but not very refined, formations. We have no doubt these distinguished chevaliers will soon visit the Opera again, and show, by the propriety ww of their conduct, the elegance of their manners, the beauty of their whiskers, the dressing of their hair, and the whiteness of their gloves, ade- cided superiority over many of those who make niore claim and have less reason to found it oa— who can’t pay their tailor’s or barber’s bills; but yet contrive to get a seat at the Opera. Mops. Artists —When this species of amusement was first introduced to the public, it was free from those indecent features which have since sugk it into disrepute. A variety of these performances has been sub- sequently brought out in different parts of the city, ofa more vulgar and cheaper character, until the lowest order of them finally have They have, for a length of time, excited the indigna- tion of the respectable portion of the communi- ty, and of late it has been a subject for wonder that the Corporation, whose duty it is to pro- mote the welfare of the community, and sup- press all public immorality, have not stirred themselves in the matter. We are glad to perceive, however, that, acting upon the indictment of these performances by the Grand Jury, the Mayor and Corporation have at last come to the determination of taking pro- per steps for the suppression of these depraved exhibitions, which, from their licentious charac- ter, may be regarded asa theatrical disease. We hope the Corporation wiil continue to give their attention to this subject until these performances have been effectually put a stop to; and that they will hereafter exercise greater vigilance over public exhibitions of every sort; and the wel- fare of society calls tor the eetablishment of a proper system of theatrical supervision in this city, which seems to run riot with perfect impu- nity, whilst its guardians are engrossed in eager disputations concerning the distribution of jobs, thereby violating the city charter and feathering their own nests at the expense of the public. New Junsry anp THe Pinot Laws.—The most unmitigated piece of impudence that ever came to our knowledge, is that recently perpetrated by the little State of New Jersey—the same which resorts to the contemptible system of levying black mail to recruit its finances, and which lays over to each successive session of her Legislature,resolutions creating literary institutions. While this State has her hands continually in our pockets, collect. ing a black mail tax on every one who crosses her territory, her Legislature passes a resolution calling on the Congress of the United States not to repeal the odious and unjust law passed in the year 1887, by which our New York pilots have been nearly ruined in their business. New Jersey, without any tonnage of her own, except alew oyster boats, steps in between New York and Congress, and uses its small influence to perpe” | tuate a law, becauce, forsooth, a few of her own citizens—her Jersey pilote—are allowed to levy She did not leave until Sanday morning, at 10 | black mail on our shipping and on our pilots.

A destructive fire occurred here last night, in Causeway street, in Mr. Johnson Lord’s car- penter’s shop, which was destroyed. It is supe posed to have been done istentionally, as no fire had been in the shop for four days past. The flames then communicated to Rice & Vi- nal’s large carpenter’s shop, which was wholly destroyed, together with the stable adjoining and lumber yard. Messrs. Rice & Vinans are insured for $14,000, which will not cover their loss, The building was occupied by J. & B. Snow, G. O. & J. M. Sawyer, Austin Jackson & A.M.

The Mexican war resolutions were taken up and de- bated. Mr. Buss spoke in opposition to the resolutions. Mr. Tama in followed, and after he had concluded, Mr. Fine followed, not in the debate upon the resolu- tions, but urging the Senate to attend to its legitimate business. He concluded by moving to lay the resolu. tions on the table.
