SS Notice to City Subscribers. ‘Those of our subscribers who intend to change their rosidence on the first of May, ere requested to mention itto the carricrs, cr leave their names at tho Herald offico News from Europe. There is the greatest interest manifested in this city, and indeed throughout the country, to receive Jater advices from Europe. The new steamship America, which is now in her four- teenth day, may arrive at any moment. She will bring one week later intelligence. between Russia and Germany for the indepen- dence of Poland ; Austria and Prussia for eu- premacy in Germany ; Denmark and Prussia for the annexation of Holstein to the German con- ederation, end Sardinia and Austria for the in- d dence of italy; and ar evolution in England aod Ireland for universal suffrage, and a repeal of the Union, or something more, may have bro- rut in even that brief space of time. The Glory and Shame of the Meaican War The more we see of the correspondence that place between our Generals in Mex- after the enemy was defeated and a series of victories achieved that would con- fer immortal honor and renown on the arms of aay country, in any age of the world, the more sick at heart it makes us. It developes the most puerile, foolish and boyish spirit—one which we never would have supposed had existence in the reasts of the officers who wrote those letters, previous to the lamentable fact being known. The campaign from the city of Vera Cruz to the capital of Mexico, isdecidedly the most bril- linnt in the annals of modern warfare, not only tor the almost unexampled display of military science and skill which marked its conduct, but in the bravery, gallantry, and heroic valor which were displayed by officers and men, 1n carrying out the plan of the campaign, and all the ar- rangements, from the greatest to the most minute. It astonished the world, and proved to the satisfaction of our worst traducers, end the contemners of our political system and institu- tions, that the great western republic, as a mili- tary power, has power and resources, in a mili- tary point of view, sufficient to carry on succ: fully a foreign war—a war of invasion in a di lant enemy’s country —as it possesses to resist ag- gression and defend the security and integrity of its own territory. This fact was long disputed and doubted by the statesmen of the old world; but their doubts were one by one dispelled, as town after town and castle after castle surren- ,ered to our invincible army. We would be glad if we could stop here—it nothing had trens- pired to mar the beauty of this gorgeous picture. We would be glad if the end of the volume hed been reached with the successful entry of our troops into the great and far-famed capital of Mexico; but truth, and our duty as a journalist to record the events of the day, without fear or favor, compel us to turn over another leaf, and record events which tend as much to the shame of the Mexican war as the before-mentioned acts of gallantry, skill and indomitable bravery, tended to its glory. No sooner was the army ofthe enemy scatter- ed to the four winds, and their great general had fled before our victorious troops, having scarce a place whereto to fly for his personal safety, than our generale ard officers commen- ced among themselves a scramble for the mono- poly of all the glory which belonged in common to all, both officers and men, and of which there was abundance for each and all. From that time to the present, bickerings, courts-mar- tial, courts of inquiry, crimination and re- crimination, have been the order of the day, and no one can predict when the disgraceful took ico, business will end. Letters which should never | have been made public, are brought to light, and matters which alone interested the parties im- medietely concerned, have been published to the world, and commented upon in all the bar- bers’ shops and groggeries of the land, the fre- quenters of which make their own comments, in their own way, on what they read, in favor of, and against the officers, who, from their servi- ces in the field, hed identified themselves with the glory of their country, and excited the ad- miration of both hemispheres. If the parties themselves are to blame in this matter, their partizans in Congress are equally culpable. They have taken up the quarrels emong the officers in Mexico with as much earnestness and display, as much bickering and,ill-feeling in their speeches and controversies, asthe parties among whom the quarrels originated; and it is to them that the country is indebted for the publication of the correspondence which has thrown this shame on the Mexican war. But there are others, also, equally as much to blame—for the President, the Secretaries,the negotiator, Mr. Trist, and others, are each and all identified with it, and have yet each and all to answef to the public for their participation in the busi We would not be surprised to fiad that these quarrels will yet be the means of defeating the ratification of the treaty by the Mexicans. From present appearances, there is every likelihood of such being the ease. If they do, the country will to blame. We apprehend, how- ever, that such a result would not be disagree able to Mr. Polk, who commenced the war, for it would re-open the question of the annexation of the whole of Mexico, and be brought into ques- tion in the Presidential canvass, and form an is- sue which slipped from him, by Mr. Trist’s conduct in negotiating that treaty without the concurrence and in express violation of the er- ders of his government Out of the whole batch of our officers who conducted this most brilliant war, only two of them seem to be poesessed of that prudence, self- respect, and sagacity which ought to have dis- guished them all. We allude to General or and General Wool, who fought side by nthe glorious battle of Buena Vista, and stand wide by eide to this day*in the ranks of riendstip and good will. Their conduct stands in bold relief to that of Genera Scott and the officers associated with him, and eattles them to more merit then has yet been awarded them kuow who be lojured by the administration, he wrote a dignified rebuke, and then threw himeelf and When the former conceived himself to | | w Actual wer |" his cause on his country. He did not stoop to carry on a fretful and angry correspondence with the War Department, but acted as became his dignity and character. He may have written too many political letters, as we think he did. It be had refused to answer all the electioneer- i and office-seeking communications which ere addressed to him, he would have acted wiser than in noticing them. But, as a military man, he has not fallen into the errors which the other officers have committed. Taycor Mertines in New Yorx.—Within a few days we have had two Taylor meetings in this city—one at Military Hall, in the Bowery, and the other at Lafayette Hall, in Broadway.— Neither of them was crowded. At the first there were not more than a hundred aad fifty persons present, and at the other not over three hundred. At the one in the Bowery, Cassius M. Clay de- livered a long, prosy speech in favor of General Taylor as a candidate for the Presidency, in which he developed nothing new, nor broached a single original idea. At the other, Mr. Toombs, from Georgia, spoke, and made aepeech in which almost every subject but the fitness of General Taylor to fill the presidential chair, was the theme. Mr. Prescott Hall also spoke at the same meeting, but we did not report him, be- cause he has already said as much ashe can say on the subject, and each successive speech which he has made since he delivered the one reported in this paper in full, has been but a repetition—a perfect stereotype of the ideas he uttered on that occasion. At each of those meetings there was a proportion of the friends of Mr. Clay, who seemed determined that the Taylor men should not have it all their own way; for they cheered their candidate lustily, in spite of the eloquence of a Cassius or a Toombs. ‘We would enquire, what are the objects of the men who are at the bottom of these movements ? General Teylor has placed himself in the hands of his countrymen, to elect him or not, as they see fit. He has expressly disavowed all connec- tion with party, and will not runas the exclu. sive candidate of the one or the other. The country knows the position in which he hes placed himself in regard to the Presidency; and what more is required ? We are very much inclined to believe that these meetings are attempts by cliques of despe- rate office-seeking politicians, out at elbow and pocket, to secure come of the spoils in case of General Taylor’s election ; and it would be well for the public to know it. If General Taylor cannot be elevated to the chief magistracy by his own merits, he surely will never reach that position by the efforts of the Taylor cliques in this city—whether they emanate from Wall street, or Military Hall in the Bowery. We apprehend that we understand the movement. Tux Discuarcgp Convict Goutp.—We re- ceived yesterday, from the agent of the Com- mittee on Discharged Convicts of the Prison | Assoclation, the following reply to the appeal | made by Robert Gouid, the discharged convict, who was retused assistance by that philanthropic association : 4 mo. 28th, 1848. In reply to Robert Gould, in the Herald of this mor ping, we would just say, that we find it necessary to m 10h caution when discharged convicts apply for relief, otherwise we should often be — imposed upon. jing the id Gould was discharged from Sing ca led upon us the 26th inst., and again on the 27th. On both these occasions he was under the influence of liquor, ‘ano we could not discover any evidence that there was ground to hope for a reformetion. He asked for money to enable him to go to Natche: bill for bis board was produced, for near two weeks before he called upon us. We were fully satisfied that he was not entitled to 2id from the Prison Association It is not our principle to extend assistance to all discharged convicts indisczi- minately, but to those only whom we believe are earnest in their determination to reform ISAAC T. HOPPER, Agent of the Commities on Discharged Convicts, Prison Association. This seems to be reasonable enough, with one exception. How does Mr. Isaac T. Hopper know that the poor convict was under the influence of liquor? We have seen many persons laboring under the influence of misfortune—the visible effects of which many would impute to liquor and strong drink. We rather think, then, on this point that Hr. Hopper’s reasons are insuff cient. However, as Gould’s applicationto the benevo- leat prison association has been refused, we by all means recommend him to apply to the gene- rous feelings of Alderman McElrath. He is Al- derman of the Third ward, and has been, during his term of office, according to the appearance of the advertising columns of the Tribune, receiv- ing immense sums from the strong chest of the Corporation, not in strict accordance with law: It is probable that Gould, as he has been incar- cerated in Sing Sing, served out a term there foi stealing, or taking the property of others contra- ty to law, in another sense of the term. It would | seem but fair, therefore, that Alderman McEl- rath should divide the gains which he made out ot the corporation—with the unfortunate dis- charged convict from Sing Sing. To get public moneys contrary tolaw, or appropriate private moneys belonging to another, do not seem very hostile to each otherin principle. There ought to be some fraternization between such princi- ples and parties. Weadvise Mr. Gould, there- fore, to apply to Alderman McElrath, and there isno doubt he will receive prompt assistance in these days of liberty, equality and fraternity. Fatuer Matruew Comma Over.—We have received authoritative intelligence of the inten- tion of Father Matthew to come over to this country during the approaching fall, for the pur- pose of being seen end of seeing his friends in the United States, and of giving a few bits of eloquence in favor of Croton water, and other delicious water drinking. The tollowing note to a well-known and much respected apostle of temperance in this city, will epeak for itself: Conx, 29th March, 1848.

Srats or Ingtann —Having given in yester- day’s paper a variety of extracts from English papers, depicting the condition of that equntry at the last dates, we to-day picture the fate of things in Ireland, drawn from a similar source. The extracts from the Dablin Nation, which we publish to-day, will give a faithful picture of the presentstate of that country, and will be found worthy of attentive consideration.

CALIFORNIA CLAIMS, Mr. Cass, Chairman of the Committee on Military Affaits, moved to take up the bill for the adjustment of the California cleime. Mr. Carron, of Delaware, rose and proceeded to ad- dress the Senate in.favor of ths bill. H» contended that Congress had power to appoint commissioners for the examination of the claims, under the constitution. He went on to adduco other arguments to prove that Congress possessed the authority claimed, and should exercise it in the present cass.

The introductory chorus was admirab'y given, and Mrr. Segain fully sustained her high and scknowledged reputitioa in her per: constion of Amina. The Giff-rent songs and cho- rues wore sung with a thriling effect, and the audience loudly #ppleuded the performance through- | ovt. We would remind the many friends and ad- mivers of those gifted favorites, Mr. and Mra Seguin, that their benefit is fied for thin evening, when tacy | put forth a highly attractive bill, viz: the romantic opera of “Der Frieschatz,” to be followed by the first actof “La Sonnambula”’ Miss Turnbull will also dance on the occasion, This will close the engagement of Mr and Mrs Seguin and their excellent troupe tor the sen- son. We feel assured that their numerous friends and adwirers will give them, in true Bowery fashion, “A bumper at pastiog,” ana proper tribute to their high talents and popularity. ‘The attractive bill, independent of any other considera- tion, would draw a jam house. Cuatuam Tueatne.—It has formerly bern the policy of the rulers of the people on the continent of Europe to grant largs sums annually for the support of the theatres, and thus, by keeping these establishments open at low prices, they provided abundant amusement for the many, and hoped to keep them fom paying too much attention to the acte of their rulers. This system was all very well for a time, but seems to have broken down lately, a8 the folks in Europe are all performing real melodramas, in which the hurried exits of kings and potentates are the chief incidents. But what we want to come at is this, that here, in our happy. and free country, the sovereigns also make lerge contributions tho support of theatres—the #0 n people we mean —and when anything is produced that especially tic their fancies. no reward is too great for the skilful mana; At the Chatham, for instance, they must bs making a young fortune out of “New York as it is,” os ery availabl at in the house is filled every ing befor ight o'clock; and as too manager of the house is determined not to overcrowd atrons, great numbers are every evening rofusad admittance after the house is filled comfortabiaa Tho best plan, therefore, is to engage seats during the day, or go quite early in the evening. The romautic little drama of the “Blind Boy,” was performed as the first piece Jart evening, pretty little Miss 8. Denin taking tho pert of Edmund, the blind boy. This young lady is most versatile and talented actress, and will becor e- ry emipent we venture to predict. ‘Tho remainder of the entertainmonts went off with the usual eclat ; tha » “New York anit \d the very laughable farce of the “ House Dog.”” me bill is to be repeated this evening. Broapway THeatxe.—We have been so long nau- seated ond wearicd with spe:taclet, pantomimes, eques- trian feats, jagglery, gun and pistol firing, fighting, blustering, and all sorts of Bartholomew Fair exhibitiors, addressed to the eyes ofthe ignorant and vulgar, acting upon the out Ward se: and degrading. and ruining the public taste, that led with inexpressi- ble delight and satisfaction, the high intellectual treat we received last night. of the solid, sound, and genuine dramatic production of a comedy, representative of real iife, and as full of entertainment and pleasing and varied pictures of humen beings and actions, as it was full of truth. usefalness, and instruction. We were all along oonvitived that the fault of @ degraded stage, converted to the use of horses, puppet shows, and gunpowder, ouly fit and only intended to please and astonish big children, was not the fault of the people, bat of managers and actors. The former found they could draw together a crowd by getting up a showy, trashy exhibition, with- out resorting to talented actors, and the latter found it was eusier to play the buffvon and morry-andrew, and create a laugh by clap-trap tricks, than to per- form @ rational part, calling for thought, study, and intellectual action. Hence the stage became the de graded arena of a mere amphitheatre, and the genu- ine, pleasing intellectual drama seemed in danger of being forgotten and banished forever. We hail with grateful joy the excellent good taste and judgment of the managers of the Broadway theatre in producing the beautiful comedy of * Romance and Reality,” which was performed last night for the eleventh time in auc- cession, to a house crowded in every part, from parquette to gallery. We believe it might bave been continued with perfect success to a 20th or 30th representation, had not previous arrangements called for its temporary withdrawal The good sense and correct taste of the public are fully vindicated and asserted by the crowded bouses which havenightly assembled to witness the new piece. Itisa proof that ths people cen appreciate and evjoy sound intell-ctual amd rational entertainment, whenever managers, as in the case of Col Menn and his associates, have the good taste. judgment and enter- prizs to present itbefore them We hope to see a career 40 suecessfally begun by roadway, tendingso highly to improve the public taste anielevate and invigorate the pablic mind, pereevered in and imitated by all our public theatres. Mr. Broughem may be justly proud of the authorship of sueh » comedy as “ Romance and Reality,” and we are glad, for his sake, that it is cast so well, and the several parts so ably performed as to ren- der all the justice it merited to such an able and beauti- fal drama. No piece could be better cast. The princip#l sharacter in the play,“ Asper Manly, bas. ty, hot-headed, but kind, affectiona’ old bachelor, is sustained by Mr. B wbich entitles him to be placed at the head of his pro- feesion, and to be called an actor of the highest and most brilisant character.

Tho: have seen either of there gentlemen before in cha: affording less scope and opportunity for their talents, would hardly believe that they were t persons, Mr. Blake is evidently become quite the favor of the audieoce im his peiformance of “Asper Manly.” We have neither time nor space to do justice to the other performers in this elegant comedy. Mrs. Winstanly, however, as Barbary, a maiden lady, who is kind of Fourierite and Social Reformer ought not to be passed lence. The character is instructive, the satire keen, and the sarcasm dererved ; it is well drawn by the author. end admirably performed by Mrs. Wiostan- i To do justice to the piece we mu: it again gain, Let us not, however, forget to do justice to the author, who himself sustains, with his eter in the play in which he delignts audience, whose bigh satisfaction with th sll the actors in it is uodiegaised, spontaneous and un- mistakeable. This evening, previc to its withdrawal (which, bowev ‘6 happy to |: will be but tem- porary) “ Romance and Realtty’’ will be performed once more, for the benefit of its ingenious author, and we aro greatly mistaken if the whole intellectual world ot New York does not crowd to night at the Broadway to reo- der its just tribute of admiration and encoursgement to genius and talent.

Mra Mowatt aud Mr Davonport have recently per- formed « very sucotrs'ul engagement at the Olympic. The Times, in ieviewing their performance, speaks ai fotlowa: ‘he fourth «et, in which Pauline banis! indigoation sgainst Cliude Metootte, ond, in an inspira- Uion of love, would prevent hin from joining thé army, is perhaps the most striking. While struggling in the arios of her parents, who would de'ain hor frora follow ing her lover, the grief and devotion which she feels are forcibly pourtrayed; and the group becomes pictu- reequo from tha passionate gestures of the principal figure. Forthe expression of the tanderest emotions, Mra. Mowatt’s countenance is admirably adapted. It is not only beeutifal in iteelf, but beams with intelli tempered Ac’ the most feminine softness.” Mr. port is also highly spoken of Among several notices we extract the following: —"'Mr. Davenport, the American actor, is playing Cleude Melnotte at the Olympic with great succesn We like his atyle—it is manly, and not affected, His love making seems spontanrous, and not pumped up—hs bandies a woman aa if he was used to ene, Hehas no whining about him, and yet a noble pather,and sote Claude Velnotts no an to make ua foot wih dim, rather thao pity him.

Visit ro tne Stvo10 or Mons, Ganseitie, ix Do- ane Sranet.—We paid a visit yesterday to the studio Of the above artis’. That which is new is rare, and al- ways attractive. There is something to us quite new, novel, and original, in the siogular power and art of Mons, (arDeille, in bis moulds and Ogures of caricature staturttes.

The artist seoms to seize upon the very charac jom' nent jure of tor of the person, to hit ofthe his mind, apd to impress it with indescribable spirit and ion in an oxegi \d and ludicrous shape, upon aking and almost animated marbie. He presents the very individual in some droli and funny guise or .. He gives a personification of his inmost feeling as it were, solidifies the very secret of his making it almost tangible and visible in the look, the attitude, the mSnner and the expression, which he faithfully retains and delineates with surprising pre- cision, There is a morked individuality in every si each figure is characteristic; th: is @ distinotners an: personality ia each, with ell the imiescribable shades and little differences of which the versatility of human character is cspable—all distinotly and vividly imparted to the marbie, ‘These statuette caricatures have the singular quality, in which the novelty of this new art appears to us mainly to consist—that, es representations of persone, they are not only strictly true and faithful, but whats singular js, they are amusing and actually entertaicing Yet with all this, there is nothing in thom to offend or wound the feslinge; there is nothing walicious or spiteful in the idea intended to be con- v-yedcfany person; but they are so ridiculously faith- tothe man they represent, that he must be com- Pelled to recognise, to laugh at himszif, aud perbaps to wonder how the artist hus been able toseize 80 readily upon the distinguishing traits of hisinwerd character, ~ Sang hold of and pourtray the impelling passion of is mind. Such ae the oaricature busts of Mons. Garbeille—suoh acter of the artist. If we were to seek bya to convey a clear and comprehensive i kind of genius which he displays, we think we oould do no better than to say that he 5 to us to ble Hogarth in sc and like Hegerth, tof impressive personal description, he seems ind foremost and inimitable in his art, without rival. Among the various busts we saw, which form the here of th @ noticed particularly at of Bexzvettt, of the Italian Opera—This struck us as the most expressive of all. Few persons of avy taste the musical world, have not often seen and heard Benedetti. In this s' te, his jews are distended in ry act of singing, nay, you may almost faucy you ing. Thelook, the manner, all correspond; it is at once bath true and amusing . Mr. Wuite —It is impossible to have been @ fre- quenter of the Opera or theatres witho some Ume or other beem struck with the appearance of this gentleman. Those who se Garbeille’s bust will at once recognise the musical critic of the Courier and Enquirer. It is the very personification of a “petit. mattre,”? redolent of self-admiretion and conscious of superior excellence in toilette coiffure and eou de cologne A long pen by his side supports the long figure of this gentlemau, and seems to be used as a meie support, but a0¢ to cecupy much the mind or thought of its posses- sor. It is a quiet piece, expressive of a mind on the best of terms, and muoh pleased with the body it lives in. Mons. Gaittanvet--This is tue bust of the well- }mown editor of the Courrier des Etats Unis, who having disposed ef his journal in a good mar- ket, bas bid us all farewell, and is about to seek new sources of revenue aad new honors, in the country of which he is a mative. We fanoled, as we looked at this bust,that Mons. G. wasin a deep brown study, soluioquising upon the downfall of his friend ‘and benefactor, Louis Philippe, of whom he was the Yaithful organ and supporter. There iss kind of arch gria upon the countenance, as much as to say— “Fare-thes- well, and if forever, ‘Then forever fare-thee-well.” We say #0 too James G. Bennetr—There is an air of quiet, deep theught, of painful pensivensss, in the statustte of Mr. Bennett, asif, like Democritus, the castizgetor of human follies, he was more disposed to lament than to laugh at the follies of mankind We thought, however, that there was @ heaviness about the bust which does not belong to the original. The thought and tranqiil reflection i. ahows are quite characteris:ic of this ceiebrated writer There is an expression of severity which, if it may have hovered om the brow when the artist was at «vork, all who know the original will. bear witness is far distant trom the heart. Count pe Trosniaut.—This is @ pleasing statuette -f the well known ex-Count, the musical critic of the ourrier des Etats Unis. It fully expreeses the well- nown traits of character of this gentleman, and ia token of the liberality and republican sympathies of the x-Count, the artist has significantly decorated his head with @ cap of liberty.

Several re- monstrenecs have been presented against the proposed improvement by persoms owaing property on West Broadway and Laurens street, where the relief street was fics: contemplated. There is also # remonstrance from eome of the neopets bolders in Church street, who are unwiiling that their property should become more valuable, or that their assessmouts should be increased by the O rrpeee the street. In certain portions of that atreet the property will only rent to a certain class o! in- dividuals, who are willing to pay for it more than any other ciass, and this probably accounts for the remen- strance. There is another street which would offer good rellef to Broadway by Proper mansgement. Let Elm street be opened to Chambers street, and up to Astor place, to which it very nearly reaches at this time, aod Baia, would be influitely relieved, and at a cost of not more than twenty-five per cent on th amount re- quisite to open Church street, besides having u more central position in the city. Batn’s Evecraic Te.eGrarnH.—The inventor of this telegraph, exhibited the machine in full operation yes- terday, at 281 Broadway, before several members of the preas, and many expre leased with the improvemeats upon tl ¢ plan in operation throughout the Union. graph is constructed on avew principle, which dispenses with the magnetic action, to produce mechanical movements for making and recording signs, and employs long strips of paper, 80 perforated in groups, tbat each group represents some known letter or siga’ ‘The non-conaucting substance of the paper passing between‘the clectrized parts of th machine interoopts the electric circuit, except at each perioration where the electrised parts of the machine come in contact through each euccessive perforation; this admits the electric current to act with its natural velocity to complete the circuit, aud transmit the siga to a distant station where euch sign is recorded by the electrie pulsation passing into and through & chemically prepared paper, made te revolve ona cylinder that travels at » like speed per minute as the perforated over atthe transmitting station.
