The Electric velegraph. Owing to the accidental breaking of the wires at Newark bridge, last evening, we were de- prived of our usual telegraphic despatches from the South. The proceedings ot the Senate comprise the only intelligence we received from Washington—but that body was engaged in no busivess of gen-ral interest, prior to its deliberations, in Executive session, upon the treaty with Mexico. The Northern line, however, was in good working order, and furnished us with the usual summary of legislative proceedings, market re- ports, &e. Baltimore Democratic Convention—Gencral Taylor. The first great movement, of any national im- portance, which now comes off in the existing Presidential canvass, is the convention of the democracy, to be held at Baltimore on the 24th of Mey ensuing. This convention will be the first national one | in the field—bag and baggage included—to make the first move distinctly in favor ef some man intended for the White House, if he can get ~} it will have great influence and im- portance in the coming struggle. From the pre= seat day, up to that period, no great movement seems to be in contemplation. Meetings may yet be held—some for Clay and some tor Tay- lor—speech: every roadside tavern, and even in Congress and elsewhere; but the Baltimore conventioa is the greatest first approach towards the White House, h the rua of the kitchen thereunto belonging. This convention, therefore, is au object of gene- Fai mterest. ihe prospects held out concern- ing the action of this convention ? The democracy of the Union has been rather in nized state, principally in con: quence oftheir quarrels about the Wilmot pro- viso; although, by arecent vote in the Seuate and House, they seemto be recovering. That fire-brand, which must first be acted upon in this convention, has, like a dose of Brandreth’s uni- vers astio \ls, seized hold of the State a disc everl w York, and some other portions of the Union, to an extent truly to de- mocratic ascend Vico troops dis! peace now pendi dangerous their forces. The treaty of io the Senate, whether it be confirmed or rejected, cannot materially affect un luence of the Wilmot proviso, as exhibited by the democracy of New York, and through them, in other portions of the Union. This question, therefore, will be an element of confusion, disorder and distraction, unless there be some mode of overcoming its influences, by adopting different measures, or avendoning its peculi#r provirious, as already indicated by the votes ot Congress. The next point to consider in reference to this particular mater, is the candidate. Mr. Bachanan, General Cass, and Mr. Polk, seem to be the leading mena et this mome at, who pos- sess Roy prospect of getiiug the nomination. Judge Woodbury, Mr. Walker, and Mr. Benton, erea sort of secondary formation. Yet there seeme to be litte prospect of any union in the convention, in relation to the selection of any of these men. There are great and apparently irreconcilable differences of opinion among the friends of General Case, Mr. Buchanam and Mr. Polk ; and these differences will be increased by the attempted introduction of the Wilmot pro- vic, aud the Wilmot delegation from New York, who wiil knock at the door and try to get | But there is one view | seats in that convention. which strikes the mind with force in connection with this matter. General Taylor’s position is tingulerly unique. He seems the only man of the present day that possesses an inherent popu- arity beyond the reach of all parties. Taylor hes been brought forth in recent Utica tof a candidate; and we may that many in the Southern and the South- western States indicate a preference for Geaeral Taylor. Should, therefore, the Baltimore convent iy harmoniz i General convention, asas n all differences, any ylor and making him the jeutial candidate, to carry out their pi General Taylor, although he cails him- in some of his letters, is more a re- a than he gets creait for; in fact, more a the commencement of his career, ckson himeelf was.

P te amen rane ne “3 ESPONDENCE containing | those of Mr. Clay, at | cy hereufter, unless the pro- | Catholic journal published in this city weekly, which is understood to be the property of Bishop Hughes, and to be cendueted by him and some of the clergy of this diocese. This journal has contained for several weeks past, mixed up with some theological letters of Bishop Hughes, a number of articles of a very curious charecter— which have given manifest offence to the hig .es, Catholic hierarchy in this country, in different quarters of the Union. The Archbishop of Baltimore, and other dis- tinguished prelates, of the Catholic church in this country, publish a journal in that city, | which seems to be conducted with a good deal of talent, piety, discretion and good sense. In | this journal, sanctioned by the Archbishop, and agreat mujority of the Bishops, we fiad a very pointed cenaure of the manner in which the organ of Bishop Hughes is conducted in thi city, expressed in dign fied but severe language, and inanf stly poiuang out to Bishop Hughes the necessity of mending his journal in certain par- ticulacs. Bishop Hughes is, undoubtedly, a man | of original genius, with much eccentricity for a | prelate of the Catholic church, and the journal, which is eaid to be published and conducted principally by him, partakes of the same charae- teristics, The narrow minded and illiberal at- tempts made by the Journal of Commerce, of this city, and coming from an extremely limited clique of religionists, never could affect the say- ings or doings of Bishop Hughes in any degree, provided his journal and his acts were animated by the true spirit of the Gospel, and that of ca. tholicity. The censures put on the Bishop’s journal by the organ of the Catholics in Baltimore, are so strong and pointed that we shall endeavor to procure a copy and publish it, so as to let the C: tholic public see the nature of the difficulties growing in the holy American Catholic chureh. TRouBLEs AMoNG THK CommeRCIAL CLassEs — Strong impressions are beginning to prevail in Wall strect, that the next six months cannot pass away without producing considerable havoc among a large class of our merchants. The balance of trade, which by the treasury tables, appears to nave been against us for the last two or three years, will not be so much the cause of this qual fied revulsion, asthe vast di- minution in the prices of all staple commodi: brought round by the recent terrible revulsion in England and other parts of Europe. The diminution of assets caused by the diminu- tion in prices of all commodities is tremen- dous. This, of course, will make an inroad on the capitals of many of our leading merchants, and place them entirely upon the charity and li- berality of the banks. Now what can the banks furnish? What is the progpect? The progpectsare that the government, whether we have peace or war with Mexico, will require all the floating capital of the country, even if no more specie should go to Europe. Money will be scarces—capitalists will have every thing in their own hands; but the active business men who depend on bank accomodations, will be left in the lurch between diminution in their assets and dimmution in bank discounts. Of course, such effects on the staple productions will reach real estate, and other specula operations. The middiing and lower classes, however, will | most likely escape all the coming troubles. If work should be scarce, or wages Jow, provisions, clothing, and every thing else, will be as low. The country is predigiously rich in real produc- tion; but our rich men are actually poor, and wany or uéMm WhO dFIVe uviece, and nize the opera, and get up eplendid fancy balls, will have to sing a different tune before the next | Fourth of July. Newsparger Apvertising —Our new system of newspaper advertising works admirably. Every | active, efficient, enterprising man of business | | likes it. Many newspaper proprietors thought if | a bold step to take; but we are persuaded many | of them will follow this step in a short time. Advertising new each day, and cash down, give @ freshness and novelty to our advertising | columns, and make people read them, which is | | iavoked in vain for the tremendous quantity of old stuff put into the great Wall street papers. Our advertising columns are as readable as the columns of city intelligence, or the editorials, oreven the news from Mexico or Washington. We could have filled two or three sheets of our journal, if we had consented to take adver- usements on the old plan, from the great merchents down town. There is scarcely a house of any importance in the city which extremely personal and illiberal in their nature— { TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. — == The Telegraphic Wires Broken. w§ TxLecrapnic Orrics, Jxnsxy City, March 3, 10 P You will get nothing more from the South to- night.

Bervato, March 8 —Flour—Prices were up, with ‘8 better demand, and we note sales of 3000 bbis of Mich- igam at $5 00. Sales of 5000 bushels of Chicago wheat were made at $1 00. Provisions were steady. No other news of importance. Bostox, March 3.—-Themarket continued firm, though | transaciions were not large. Sales of 500 barrels good weatern brands were made at $6 50.

S me of the shipping merchants off-red | us two hundred dollars a year, but we declined; | and on one occasion, an advertiser offered us a advance, for a certain portion of our paper, if we would teke it. This was also declined We like our pres: nt system too well to aban- don it. This system is similar to that which governs the London journals. The fadvertising system of Paris is quite diflerent. In that city there are agents who buy so many columns, and pay so mach a yearto the proprietors for their use. These are middle-men, and it appears that the leading journals farm out their advertis ng columus to these men for as much as $60,000, or 800,000 iranes a year—the middle-men, perhape, making $70 000 or $80,000 by their contract We hope vet, by this system, to make our adver- tising columns yield $100,000 per annum. Tue Mormon Meetinge—We give in our columns to-day, a brief report of the meeting last evening, called for the purpose of devising some relief for the famishing Mormons, now wander- ingin the deserts of Missouri, beyond the line of Western civilization. These Mormons have cut a great figure during the last few years; but their present destitute condition has sprung from their ignorance and fanaticiem. By the practice of common sense, ued to live inthe Western States up to the vay ot judgment. They were, however, led astray | by vauity and fanaticiem. They left their habi tations, and took up their line of march through the wildernesses of Missouri, towards the Rocky 4 | Mountains, under the expectation that the Lord | would rain down manna from heaven, to feed | them with, as he did at the request of Moses, to feed the children of Ierael. But manna is much searcer aud dearer the present day than it was in the days of Moses—of course, they have to | come so New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and other Atlantic cities, to get the means to buy a@ te litle flour and corn meal, or any thing, to help | them along. We hope they may get a mouthful, both of food and common sense. Mover Artists 1n Lonpon anp Panis.—We saw the model artists in London and Paris & year ago.

The Hon. Wm. V. Brady woe appointed presideut, the Rev. Mr. Whitehouss aud How, Theodore Freliaghuysen Vice Presidents, and Mr. Ruies Griswold Seoretw y. Col. Kane, of Philadelphia, was introduced to the meeting as a persen cogniaant of the present condition of the fugitive Mormons in the far west. He said, that w silet be was travelling in that region, a hort time siuce, be fell in with the Mormons, and from what he had seen of them. h» considered them a people of simple habite «und good moral ‘When he was in their country, they were cuffering dreadfully from disease and want; but as there were members of that sect present, who had seen rte of those sufferings than he had, he would not at- ‘tempt to describe them, but leave the duty to them. He then introduced @ Morman named Littie, and Mr. Lirtie sald, that kmowiog the prejudice against the Mormons, it was with some embarrassment he rose When Co). ravages as it has done since among them. That people are scattered over the country between Nauvoo and Council Bluffs wild and u invabited country,in which, in consequen: of the want of proper nutriment, they were overcome With Dlious fewer wad chilis aud fever, Their situa- ton is truly distressing During four monibe, the compsny to which he belonged, lived entirely om lvgn buffalo meat. When ihey got to the moun- tains, their obildren were barefooted: the women obliged to drive the teams, vo the le tuey were ia a sorry condition; thone nearest ti settlements being the worst off. The worst disease thai prevailed mong them wvs the black canker, which at- tacked males aad females indiscriminately. Again, the men who assisted in making bridges, up to their waist ia water in so doing, took siok, and but few of hem survived tho task. Many who took their cows and other cattle from Nauvoo, turned them out to feed on rushes, kc., and the eons: quence was, that tuey died, and their carcasses having been eaten, those who partook of them got siok and many of them died — The wants of the destitute Mormoms wre numer- ous, comprehending want of clothing, provisiens, oine, agricultural implements, seed grain, wagons, im order to enable them to reach their ination. These things cun reach only those Mormons who are near thi tlements ; those rurther on cannot be reached by any afd coming’ from this part of the country. Among those within reach cf ald,are the wives wud children of the volunteers now ia the service of the United States. Mr Tuxovons Sevowick, on the part ef himself. and, perbaps, otores, suid he would like to know, or bave ‘explained, tbe present condition of tuoss destit'e Mor- mons, and |h» way in which the sums to be collected iv obarity for them »re to be distributed. Col. Kane, in reply, said that the Mormons now in the oliy for tae purpose of collecting funda in this wa: would immediately proceed to 8t. Louis @ad dispose the same to tue best aivantage, The other Mormon, who wis aumounced to address the meeting, was unadic, in consequence of indispvsition, arising from want of nourishment, to speak on this ovoasion. Mr Burixe thenread some resolutions; the first, to the effect that the American people cannot see the Mor- mons suffering from want of weed. grain, agricultural implements, &> , without relieving them; and the seoond and third caliing 01 ministers of the gospel and editors to present the subject to their congregations and rexd- ers. Mr. Butler said he would not propose the two las ould rather leave it discr tionary with both clergy: men and editors to act as they pleased iu the matter. Mr. said from what he koew of the Mormon both in England end bere, they we rect ple; but he doubted the exp: aging them as a religious seot, in emigri He would give his mite, if they would pledge themselves to returo and live like other pzople, and act as others do, and not associate together in the way they do at pre- sent. Mr. Kane said there are many of them who would be willing to accep: donations on any conditions. The dif- ficulty now is, that they are unable to go forward or come back. Mr jaid he knew many who left their comfort- able homes, and he would like to see them return, but he disliked to encourage them as they are at present situated Mr. Boru id he had no doubt all present would co.eur in the of the last speaker, but what might be given in this way, might be the means of saving life; wh stever our opinions of the Mormons asa relig- jous sect may be, they are human beings, and they are ina destitute condition. In respect to those of them who are near the settlements, they are unquestionably in a state of destitution, aud it will not do to impose any rigorous condition in contributing money for their re- lief He hoped. however, that they would return and sin in the places which they left. The propos- ibutions are for the purpose of relieving their immediate necessities, and that alo: The meeting adjourned, without taking the question | om the resolution r ‘We have visited the collection of pain by by the old masters, now on exhibition at the Society Library, and find them a very fine and very queer collection.

We svent some tims in an examination of this collection ; but it requires repented visits to be able to enter into their mecits, to appreciate them as they deserve, and to be ably to speak advisediy upon them.

It will be very difficult to mal many persons believe taat these are originals; and yet,on the view we bave had thus far. we would not and could not ray that they are not what they profers to bs. The “ Lot and his daughters,” by Rubens, bears every mark of authenticity; 80 dons the portrait of Prince Maurice, in armour, by Vandyke.
