Presidential Movements and Intrigues, The twenty-fourth of May, and the seventh of June, are rapidly approaching. Accordingly, the movements and intrigues looking forward to the nominations to be made by the two conventions which are to meet on those days, are beginning toassume a deep and varied interest. All the _ingependent popular movements, the spontaneous uprisings of the people, appear latterly to have shrunk into nothingness, and to have given place to the origanized movements of the two great conventions. The democrats, at Washington and elsewhere, are ne more busy in trying to cheat each other than the whigs are in the same line of honorable business. Take off your hat and listen. The most recent movement of this kind, has just been mede by the whig legislature at Albany On Wednesday last, the whig members of this body met in caucus together; and after deliberate consultation and advice, with a few oysters and vinegar, they passed the following important resolution :— Resolved, That in selecting delegates tothe national convention, we feel it aright and dury to expreesit eeege of they can give, give. to him. or to any other reliable whig who may be nominated by that convention forthe Presidency, the thirty-six electoral votes of thie State. At first blush, this might be calleda nomina- tion of Mr. Clay by the whig organization of the Stete of New York. In this aspect it would be very important; yet it will be observed that they exll Mr. Clay their first choice—their first love Now we all know, that in courtship as well as in diplomacy—in getting a wife as well asia get- President—these first loves are not always —wiBgoara. Tue miends U1 General 1ayior, ata even the General himself, and every other sup- posed aspirant, acknowledge that Mr. Clay is their first love; but there can be no doubt that lovers and politicians will take particular care to strangle orabandon a firstlove, at the risk of Greeley’s law against seduction, if they pos- sibly can geta richer and more popular bit of humauiiy. We do not, therefore, look on the nomiaation of Mr. Clay, es the first love of the whigs of asew York, as amounting to a positive determi- notion, or to a foregone conclusion, that he wili he tne whig candidate of the seventh of June, in Puiledeipbia. Yet the proapects are very good. Mr. Clay’s priacipal competitor, aecordiag to present appearances, is General Taylor; and the friends of this hero are quite busy ia endeavor- ing to impress on the public the idea that no other man can succeed in the ensuing election The nomination of Mr. Clay, however, by the whig convention, will depend a good deal on the nomination to be made previously by the de- mocrats, in their Baltimore convention, on the 24th of May. If at that convention Mr. Polk should be re-nominated, or any other weak man, we should not at all be surprised to see Mr. Clay nominated by the whig couvention. Now, in this position of affairs, what are the prospects of Mr. Polk? We must say that his prospecis are rising every day. The pledge which he gave at the last election, that he only wished to serve one term, is privately abandoned by all his special friends, aud will be, soon, to- tally repudiated in public. It is merely a repeti- { tion of the same game which characterised the | one term fanfaronade on which General Jack- son was elected, and afterwards Mr. Van Buren tried. According to all indications, Mr. Polk is now as busy endeavoring ‘to procure a re-nomina- tion, ag any man ever was, and much more so than was General Jackson previous to his second term. We look on this as settled. he tone of his organ at Washingtoa, ana of his friends throughout the country, concurs in this - The recent movements, in a variety of ways, in Washington, also indicate the same thing. The attempt to get up an investigation to ascertain by what means the Herald got possession of the treaty with Mexico, was merely intended es a mode of getting rid of Mr. Buchanan and his prospects, who had been inconyeniently nomi- | nated by the democrats of Pennsylvania. We are not sure but that this matter will yet be | pressed to its denouement, and that an explosion | will yet take place in the cabinet ; that Mr. Bu- ehanan will retire in disguist, and jeave the field of ambition entirely to Mr. Polk. General Case seems not to disturb the nerves of the Presi- dent at all. Indeed, General Cass, with the great gooduess of his aature—quiet temper, and amiable manners—is by no means a match for the dexterity and cunning of Mr. Polk, who, as a public man and politician,appearsto be compound- ed of four historical elements—that is to eay, he is one quarter Cromwell, one quarter N apo- | Jeon, one quarter Robespierre, and one quarier | Louis Philippe, with a slight dash of Judas Iscariot. Mr. Polk has already disposed of | all the genesals, by setting them together et logverheads, through the ageacy of Mr. Marcy. | They are ali out of his way. also to re-unite the d scordaat democratic ele- meats of New York, by o great induce- ments to the Va. Buren section of the party, and thas close up the prospect opening of Mr Olay in this State But Mr. Polk’s great forte is iy tion of the Batimore convention, This oon vention will be composed oi a mejority ot his own office-holders, all of whom will be anxious to be retained in cflice for another four years, | and who will, of course, be as ubvervient to the Mr. Polk expre's | forthe suecees | 1€ Composi- EST RR TO eT Oe a Oe 6 AN EC ETE NLT TE | th | vligious aad holy chareeter for week days; | others think there is too mach noise init What- wishes of Mr. Polk as the§ corrupt and rdtien chamber of deputies wasto the wishes of Louis Philippe and Guizet, by whom they were turaed on precisely the same system which Mr. Polk will organize the Baltimore convention. Mr. Polk, therefore, if he choose, can just as easily be re-nominated by the Baltimore con- vention as Louis Philippe could command a me- jority in the chamber of deputies, by the same influence and by the same system. Mr. Bucha- nan will be driventrom the cabinet. Gn. Caes will be humbugged ; Mr. Woodbury, end all other Presidential aspirants, will be langhed at Mr. Polk is, therefore, the man of the democrats —the Louis Philippe of day—and his sueces- sor will probably be General Gideon Pillow. Such will be the programme, according to pre- sent appearances. Notwithstanding the populari- ty of General Taylor, we doubt very much whether the whig convention will take him up, , unless there shall be some prodigious efforts made by the frienda of Mr. Webster, in New England, to clear out Mr. Clay, in order to open avacancy for General Taylor, with the succes- sionto Mr. Webster hereafter. Yet if Mr. Clay | snould be nominated by the whigs, the contest will be very feir, and ea very even one, through- | out the country, between himand Mr. Polk. At this moment, we would not venture to predict } who would be the successful candidate. Ali will depend on the State of New York. If this | State continue in ite divisions, the best chances | would be for Mr. Clay. These are the prospenis at this moment ; but | y may change to-morrow.

Mr GalLLarpxt oF Tug Courrier pes Erats Unis.—We have a very quiet reply to make to Mr. Gaillardet, of the Courrier des Etats Unis, who attempts to let fly two or three Parthean | arrows at us, in his retreat from that journal, | towards the sunny skies of France. In our few remark, we certainly thought that | we had been sufficiently complimentary to his | talents as a writer, and more than liberal and just, and even generous, to his qualities as a man and an editor, considering the position he has held to us for the last eight years. He had no right to expect any special puffing from the He- raid. For years afier his connection with the press of New York began, Mr. Gaillardet never tailed, once a week, to abuse, in every pos- sible way, the Herald and its editor, without | a word of reply, ora word of complaint from ; us. He may possibly have adopted that po- | hey with the view of recommending himself to the epplause and the puffs of our envious rivals, without having any particular hostility to us, to whom he never was personally known or acquainted, evea to this day. It was not until a more recent date, that we ever took the trouble to notice Gaillardet or his journal. But not con- tent with the monopoly of abuse which he had heeped on us for years, Gaillardet went farther— beyond the limits of the conduct which ought to regulate gentlemen of ordinary teelings and 1ntel- tigence—and impudently invaded the privacy of waatters that did not ecncern him. For thie, he was mede to eat up his words and swallow his owa language, in a correspondence, under the advice of counsel. He has, however, continu- ed for yeara to steal news from the Herald and to assail its editor, at every convenient op- portunity. Even in the very paper last issued, he uses Janguage towards our person—a person, that, in aspect and bodily appearance, is at least about as near the lines and lineaments of the Apollo Belvidere as that of Gaillardet is—which, when translated into English, none but the lowest vagabond on the Five Pointa or Cor- lear’s Hook, would think of applying to a cotemporary. He is perfectly welcome, how- epithets to us, low and vulgar as they are, because we suppose they coriespond with the tastes, and are natural ideas to the indivi- dual who uses them. We shall not reply in thet strain, We shall not stoop to uss such languege. If our public character and our private morals did not present higher principles of purity and honor than thoge attributed to him, we should be ashamed to show ourselves at the Opera, or any where else. No doubt it was dis- agreeable to be told—as we gently told him—that hie abandonment of Louis Philippe, consideria the position he occupied towards that monarch, was sudden, and the language used ungenerous ; but the idea was furnished to us by a Wall street cotemporary, which pave it in their columne, and which is not much given to frater- nization of opinion with the Herald—we mean the Courier and Enquirer. With regard to the remark that we have de- nounced the French Consul, itis false, absurd and ridiculous. We simply hesitated to believe that M = Lamartine’s letter to him meaat a re-gppoiat ment; nor do we thtok it yet is a re-appoiatment, without further communication from the provi- sional government. M. De la Forest has no right to expect from us any particular defence, al- though we have never hesitated io do nim jus- tice. For many years we have defended him ether cireumstsocces, and we have ne- ver seen that he valued it or cared for it, in any possible way. We owe M. De la Fo- rest nothing but exact justice ; and yet we have frequentiy stepped out of our way to defend him. I: is, therefore, as great a falsehood on the part of Gaillardet to say, that we have ever denounced M. De la Forest, as that we have published one article for Europe and another for | New York. We are equally frank to friead or foe. We advise M. Gaillardet, therefore, to attend to his own afiairs, tor that would be quite sufficient | for his capacity, and to be sure that he is rightand | truthful, before he lets the reins loose of either | his wit or his imagination. We have no had | feelings towards him. We wish him well, both | ja New York or Pari He is not the first, nor probably the last, that our forbearance aad our, truth have offended. in Orera, Tweatricars ann Faswion.—The ups | and downs of fashionable life, &c, ere as cu- | rious in New York, and as sudden, as the French | revolutions. Lust week, the Opera was remarka- | bly well patronised by the beau monde of New York; the Broadway Theatre was equally as | well filled; and all the theatres did a splendid | business. This week, the bright skies, the sun- | ay weather, the glorious ng, seem to have | nalfemptied all the places of public amusement. Broadway aad Biaogy are probably doing well, | but the splendid new opera of “Nabuco” does not seem to take, although the music, the scenery, | the choruses, and every thing, are the most mag- nificent and gorgeous ever got up in New York. In two or three passages the mognificent voice | and triamphant skill of Truffi would be enough, | oa ordinary occasions, to fill any house with an enthusiastic audience. Ta one magnificent passage she surpasses herself, and presents a power of execution, beauty, skill, and eublimity, unequalled since the time of Malibraa, and fully | equal to any thing we ever heard from Grisi, or Alboniin Europe. Yet this maynificent opera is slmost abandoned by tie beau monde. How is this? Some supp se that the music is of tow ever be the reason, it will probubly be performed for the second time to-night, and those who wish to hear Trufli in this magnificent part, | better embrace the present opportunity, ay it is the only prospect they will bave of doing eo. Citic pee | ing deve notice to the | the excellent vocsists apd negro peri Ce OS novel issue bas lately been tried in the court of Commen Pleas of this ¢ity, regarding the tight | of a physician to withdraw his attendance ona | pitient; and the verdict rendered by the jury is | one establishing que an important rule for the gentlemen of the medical faculty. For their future guidance, we would recommend them to preserve the following opinion, delivered by | Judge Ulehoefier, in hischarge to the jury in this | cai “A pbysicion, when once cmplo: tleot cannot atterwetde withdcavy hitmelf; without giv- | tient, so as the latter might pro- | vile himself with an: ir physician; but by giving such | is at liberty to wi bdraw from his at Doe, atsent cannot maintain av action.

An action was subsequently brought against him, and damages, resulting from loss of time and inability to at- tend to business during the whole fit of sickness, ed to attend a | were laid at $5000. Want of skill in the treatment, er due atten- tion to his patient as long as he was under Dr. P's. treatment, was not the ground of action, it was in the Doctor’s not brooking interferene with his treatment, and on that accoxnt refusing to continue his attendance that the gist of the actioa lay. The jury gave a verdict for the | plaintiff, damages six cents. The verdict 18 not avery heavy one, still it is enough to put phy- siciaus on their {guard in their dealings with their patients. Taytor Mketing.—We give in another column, a very full report of a Taylor meeting which was held lest evening at Lafayette Hall. The meet- | iog was addressed by twogentlemen, and it will be seen in the report of their speeches, that when the name of Mr. Clay was mentioned, it was received with as much enthusiasm as that of General Taylor. Indeed, we should judge that there were as many Clay men present as there were of the others. This has characterised al- most all the Taylor meetings in this city, and shows; that the whiga of this city, at least, are illing to adopt General Taylor as a candidate for the Presidency, Great News Exrecrep.—Some persons ex- pect that a revolution took place in Dublin, and throughout Ireland, on the French plan, on the 17th March. Perhaps so.

He is evidently rich enough The Paris correspundent of the London Atlas says, “Louis Philippe bas quitted the country, iraving behind hia 25,000,000 of debts, his custom being to pay his creditors but once in five years. It is the third year only which is now elapring.” It is said that Louis Philippe has had an agent in this city, for some time, engaged in purchas- ing real estate on his account. Several blocks of magnificent buildings, reeently put up in vart- ous parts of the city, ure said to belong to him. When the splendid block of stores in William street were built, Louis Philippe was announced ag the owner; but we believe that they were erected by the aid of American and English capi tal. [tis probable that he will visit us, and re- side in this city, and then Mr. Louis Philippe, and Mr. William B.
