INTELLIGENCE BY THE MAILS. ‘Wasnrsaten, May 7, 149, Palitieal Intrigue ‘The barnburners of New York, now hold the balance of power in the democratic party; but this power is contingent on their admission into the convention This contingency, however, does not affect their power to throw the State into the hands of the whigs. Every day, it becomes more and more certain that the demo- cratic candidate, whoever he be, cannot dispense with the vote of New York; and without the yote of the barnburners, New York cannot give # democratic majority. Thus the barnburners are absolutely neces- sary to the success gf the democratic candidate. It is evident, then, that if the barnburners be refused a seat in the convention, the whigs must triumph in the next contest But a more stringent reason prevails with Mr. Polk, in desiring, as he does, the admission of the barnburn- ers, If the old hunkers obtain a seat in the conven- tion, the majority-rule will be adopted, and Mr, Ca: will be nominated on the first ballot, It is now appa- rently clear that the Michigan Senator will go into the convention with a small majority, should his New York supporters succeed in defeating their opponents. Thus the issue of the next election will absolutely depend on the choice between the Big-endians and Little-endians of New York. It is, then, easy to perceive, that all the candidat except Mr. Cass, must favor the admission of the barn- burners, If the old hunkers be admitted, the game is decided in the first deal ; whereas, if their opponents triumph, each man is still in a position to hope for hi self something from the shuffling of the cards—but Mr. Polk more than others :—for he has directed all his ef- forts to the completest possible neutralization of the strength of all the other candidates—in some instan- ces, by raising up competitors, and in othery, asin the case of Mr. Buchanan, by circulating invidious and scandalous reports, and in using means to hinder those slanders from being refuted. Accordingly, a negotiation is in progress between Mr. Polk and the barn-buruers. It would appear that the latter have absolutely no choice for President, being wholly without hope of the success of any man who could represent their views. Their great princi- ple is, not the Wilmot proviso, whieh is exploded—but opposition to Mr. Cass, To defeat him they would even consent to the nomination of Mr. Polk, whom they consider the very smallest and basest man in the party. ; not, however, with a view to his election, but ause they know his election would be an utter im- possibility, ‘whoover might be the candidate of the whigs. And it is not even disguised that if Mr. Polk should succeed in procuring the nomination, the barn- burners would be even more active than the whigs in ensuring his defeat It may be asked. this being the case, and Mr. Polk knowing it, why should he attempt # negotiation, and that for the purpose of obtaining a triumph for his ene- mies? Simply because he cannot avoid it. If the barnburners do not triumph, he has no single chance of success. If they do, fortune or artifice may favor him in obtaining the nomination; and his own self- love suggests abundant hope of success over his whig opponent, notwithstanding the utter loathing with which he is regarded by his own party. Mr. Polk naturally calculates on the support of the office holders. The peculiar policy which he has hitherto been obliged to pursue. has left those gentle- men, for the most part, at liberty to take sides, As long as it was not known to them that Mr. Polk meant absolutely nothing by his declarations of an inte tion to withdraw to private life at the end of one term, th themselvos at liber tach themselves to any of the other candidat inclination or prospee- ut when it is no lon- t If-interest mig strugile betw «in 1a r.

With this view he has seeured the appointment of a goodly number of office holders on each delegation, and by them he expects to turn the scale. But Mr, Polk will be disappointed. wnan and Mr, Cass, ax 1. but between Mr, Bu- Unquestionably will be, yment will prepon- GALVIENSIS. Six Days Later from Vera Cruz. (From the New Orleans Picayune, April 30.] RETURN OF MR. TRIST AND GEN. CAPWALADER. ‘The steamships Augusta and Virginia left Vera Cruz on Saturday, the 22d inat. Gen. Cadwalader and Mr. Trist came over passengers on the Virginia, and will no doubt come up to town this morning. The passengers by the Augusta we have given in another place There is yet no quorum of Congress at Queretaro, It is obvious from the Star's reiterated complaints that there is great fear lest no quorum should meet at all. Major Stewart, of the Pay Department, arrived in the city of Mexico on the 14th Paredes, as late as the 11th inst.. had not been ar- rested by the Mexican government. He was still at San Luis, and, according toa letter in El Eco de Co- mercio, “taking up his residence with the different lawyers in the place.”’ There is no further news from Chihuahua. The ship American sailed from Vera Cruz for this port on the 19th inst., with ninety-two sick soldiers, iu charge of Dr. Wright [From the e American of the 18th.) The Vera Cruz Free dmerican remains of opinion that there is little prospect of peace. On the 19th its language is:—“ We announced. a few days ago. that we had conversed with a gentleman from Mexico, who was of opinion thatthe members of Congress would not vote for the treaty as rati- fied at Washington. We have since seen two letters from influential men, one st Queretaro and the other at Mexico. who coincide with the opinion of the gentleman in question. Another letter says. that should the members of Congress violate the con- stitution of Mexico by ceding any part of the territory. the same members will have to ask the United States to leave a force of several thousand men to keep order in the republic. The writer ix of opinion that xo soon ax the American troops will embark for the United States, the government will be overthrown. and the new causes for war will be given to the United States by the tur- bulent people of thie country.” The State of Mexico gives its vote for Gen. Herrera as President, he receiving 152 out of 166 votes. There war'a caucus of the members of Congress pre- sent at Queretaro on the 10th inat.. at which resolu- tions were adopted to prevent members then present from afterwards absenting themselves. and to fill one ‘or two sete made. vacant by promotion or otherwise It appeared that but few members were then wanting to form a quorum—but this is an old story.

Bowery Tur atns.—The new play of “Jacob Leisler”* was produced last evening to a tolerably well filled house. The play was well got up, as far as scenery, dresses, ke. were concerned; but we are constrained to say that it dragged somewhat heavily. Mr. Murdoch is a good actor; his elocution is excellent, his reading per- fect, and he has a thorough knowledge of stage details, but somehow or other, instead of sticking to the stand- ard drama, he has a way of mixing himself up with hea- vy pieces, We regret that the crowded state of our co- lumns prevents our going more into detail regarding the plot, incidents, &c, in this piece, to which we wish to do every justice. We will take an opportunity howe- ver hereafter of describing it at length. It ix the pro- duction. we have heard it stated. of Mr. Cornelius Ma- thews, of this city, and undoubtedly it possesses merit; but we suspect that it reads better than it acta. If the author of it wishes to emulate Shakspeare as a writer, and the actor seeks to rise to Garrick’s level, they will both have to work hard, not only this week, but for two or three weeks to come, It will be repeated this even- ing, and the touching domestic drama of “Grandfather Whitehead” will conclude the evening's entertain- mente Cuatnam THeathe.—We have only room to aay that at this house they were again overrun Inst night.

The twentieth anniversary of the above named society was celebrated at the Tabernacle last evening. ‘The chair was taken by the president, Captain Edward Richardson, and the exercises were commenced by sing- ing; after which a suitable prayer was delivered, and the report of the proceedings of the society for the last year, read by Rey. J. Spaulding, one of the secretaries. From this report we learn that the receipts of the society for the past year have been $24,007, and the expenses $23,783, ‘The receipts excced the amount of revious years by $6.4! J Pephe Ren nent « . of the Mariner's Church, in the eity, was introduced to the meeting and offered a resolution that the report of the society be accepted and published.and in so doing, he said he had pleasure; for he was satisfied that its publication would cause a great deal of good. He has been for more than a quar- ter of acentury among seamen, and ho would throw out a few words which might be dilated upon at length by the speakers who were to succeed him. There are nearly three millions of seamen in the world, and the wonder is how they have been neglected until com- paratively recent date, and this too when the natives of Africa, the Sandwich Islands, and other distant places, were carefully attended to and received know- ledge of righteousness, It was not till the year 181 when the cause of seamen first attracted attention; in that year the mariner’s church sin New York, and the Bethel Church in London, were constructed, In that year the Society for the Promo- tion of the Gospel among Seamen in the Port of New York, was formed, composed, of thirty directors; and this society is known as the Port Society, composed of persons of all denominations—Henry Eck- ford, Jonathan Little, Anson G. Phelps. John “West- field, Josiah Sturges, Theodore Dwight. Major Taylor, Charles Richards, and others, composed the board of directors of this the first society organised in the United States, or in the world, for the benefit of sea. men. Thirteen of these have deceased, and the re- mainder are now alive, five of whom now remain in the board. In November, 1818, they employed the Rev. Ward Stafford to preach, and the project was deemed an experiment; but it was a very short time before the room which they occupied in Roosevelt street was filled by xailors, Funds were then collected, and the church in Roosevelt street was built. At the laying of the corner stone an incident worthy of notice occurred, and that was, that when tho minister said—" Let us pray,” one of the tars in attendance jed aloud * agreed,” and his manner showed that he was" agreed."” The speaker then related an incident which happened to himself. He was preaching a ser- mon, and in the midst of it a sailor rose and was pro- ceeding to the door, when he, the preacher, paused and remarked on the occurrence. The sailor listened very attentively. and looking at him respectfully suid, “ Sir, your sermon is very good, but it is too long.” This, the speaker took as a hint that sailors do not like long xermons, [Laughter]. The Society, above mentioned, progressed in the good work, and its efforts in bringing seafaring men within the influence of the gospel, were of the most gratifying nature. It procured re- forms in boarding-houses, and at length hired a house in Cherry street for the accommodation of sailors, the success of which encouraged them so much as to induce them to conceive a plan of erecting an immense building for similar purposes. The new building was opened in November, 1842, and ix the present building known as the Sailor's Home. The Port Society perceived that a great portion of the sailora’ money was either squan- dered or filched from them, and the result was the establishment of a Savings Bank, in which at this moment there ix deposited the sum of two millions of dollars, which otherwise would have been expended in supporting theatres and other immoral places. The next gmovement was one to promote temperance; and in March, 1838, the Marine Temperance Society of New York was organized, which now enrols some twenty-three thousand members. The speaker then pointed to a memorable case in which temperance led to religion and conversion, and to the benefits of tem- perance among seamen, in the cases of a captain and some sailors. Mr. Chase then contrasted the condi- tion of sailors before gall these efforts were made for their benefit, and their state at the present time, when there are six places of worship especially designed for seamen, and open to them three times every Sabbath. All this originated in the movements of the Port So- ciety, and in the erection of the Mariner's Church. ‘The resolution to publish the Teport was then passed. Iso. Tompson Eaq., of Poughkeepsie, was the next speaker, and commenced by referring in flowery lan- guage to the increase of commerce, and its effects on England, the United States, and other commercial countries, in the building of cities which are depend- ing on commerce alone for their existence, He then directed the attention of the assemblage to the im- portance of having our seamen moral and virtuous people, because they are the representatives of the nations to which they belong, and such nations are judged in unenlightened portions of the world by their standard of morality. Notwithstanding, the Chris- tian nations have not, until lately. sought means to direct the honest and impulsive nature of the seaman into a proper course; and not let, like a river, waste its virtue on the desert sand. The Rev. C. Foxnes, late preacher at Lahina, Sand- wich Islands, rose and asked who will stand up to secure to the sailor his rights, and give him his Sabbath? It may be that in one ship out of a hundred the Sabbath day is respected; but as a general rale the sailor knows no Sabbath. Where lies the fault? ‘This he would not decide; but should not all feel that the sailor should have the sanctifying influence of the Sabbath? It ix suid the sailor has thrown himself away; that he ix nothing but man dressed in duck pants, red shirt and tarpaulin hat ; yet were it not for the sailor we would have nocommerce! Forty years ago merchant of wealth drove his carriage, and six months ago he saw him in the capacity of cook on board a whale- man. He exhorted the old man to stay on shore, and improve his talents and education; but the man answered, * Who cares for the sailor?" Yer, who cares for the sailor?—The speaker then related soveral inci- dents co: cted with the present condition of seamen. whieh painfully interesting, and illustrated forei- bly the disregard which is too generally paid to sailors. and the unconcern with which they are treated. When he heard to night that twenty-four thousand dollars was collected last year for the benefit of the seamen, he thought if the friends of the sailor had seen ax much as he had of them and of their wants, they would con- tribute more liberally than they do; for what is such a «mall sum as that compared to their necessities? There should be a chaplain in every port at which they touch, where they may receive religious knowledge which will preserve them from those snares of hell, the grog shops A collection wax then taken up in aid of the funds for the objects of the association Rev. Dr. Betuvns spoke after the collection, and said there were just two thoughts which had occurred to him in reference to this cause—first, we have hither- to made too great a distinction between worldly busi ness and our religious relations, Devotional exercises are not reli but religion consists in entertaining and acting on religious principles, It ix well to keep the Sabbath, but every day of the Christian's year be- longs to God, and go it has been in reference to the advancement of God's eatse. He thought the present society had reached a point at which the Cbristian can promote God's cause, and his own worldly interest, at me time, by making every sailor 4 misvionary. ‘The time is coming when the influence of prayer and of the Bible, will consecrate in every crew a band of «sionaries who will preach Christianity to the heathen. Meeting for the Promotion of Education among Colored Children. ‘This meeting took place last night in Zion Church, corner of Church and Leonard streets. The election of office bearers for the Society for the ensuing year was the first business which was gone into, Tho annual report of the Society was next read, which gave a detailed account of the formation of the institution—its labors and difficulties in a pecuniary point of view, ke.,&e, The report stated that the So- ciety had been formed in July, 1846; but from the difi- culties and prejudices which it had to encounter at the commencement, but little good resulted from their 1a- bors during the first year. In the spring of 1847 they had established what they called a high school of edu- cation for colored children; but it was now imponsi ¢ that school on account of the necesaa- ¢ forthcoming. At the commence- nent of the Society, th: only numbered twelve members; now, however, they could boast of upwards of one hundred and twel he chairman of the ing (the Rev. Mr. 8. E.. Cornish) after the adoption of the report, introduced the Rev. J. W. C. Pennington (a man of color) to the meeting, who moved a resolu- tion to th et that the xoclety ought to endeavor to lay the foundation for establishing normal schools, #0 that the schoolmasters may be regularly taught for the office of teachers, and thereby make it one of the cation, anid h one of the te which the most important and 1 human mind can public teachers pro rs? It was at 0 of disputation whether or not a colored man’s head could hold a« much knowledge as would save his soul from perdi these prejudices had now passed away: and it was for hia colored brethren to show in their turn, that they were about as far advanced in educa- tion and the science of literature as their white breth- ren of this great republic, it is now high time that we show them that we can think for ourselves as well as they can do, Go into all the libra- ries connected with the public institutions of this great city, and you will find but precious few volumes erature, that are the production of Americans ; works of merit have been imported the old country—so that we have really estimated the abilitic of our white brethren in these States at too high a rat ‘The people of this country decry the aristocracy of England for their coercion of the eastern nations, while at home they hold a far more obnoxious distine- tion between the men of color, and what they have been pleased to denominate the intelligent whites, It is high time that these distinctions were sunk in the abyss of oblivion, and there is nothing but education that will ever accomplish this end, by the establishment of normal schools ; it will also keep out from our ranks adventurers who, in too many instances, have much preciated the education of our rising generation The Rev'd. gentleman concluded by moving the adop- tion of his resolution, which was seconded by Mr. Charles L, Reason. and carried unanimously Dr. J. McCune Sarit next read the financial report, from which it ap red that the society was, in the mean time, in debt to the amount of $200. He also read a long, pertinent. and philosophically got up say of bix own, regarding the propriety of equal educa- tion to the rich and poor. He coneluded by recom- mending that the society adopt the spirit of the exxay, which was unamimously agreed to ‘The Rev. H. H. Garxet next moved a resolution, in effect that the greatest amount of good was to be derived to a community by educating rich and poor, co- lored and white. in the very same seminaries, “This age.’ said he, “is a revolutionizing age; the time has been when we did not expect to see revolutions ; but now we expect to nee them, and they are daily passing before our eyes ; and change after change, and revo- tleman, Mn eae ae: cy (ity bitter torms, condemued the eoniuct tf tho white population towards their colored brethren, in alw supposing that they (the whites) were a more intelli- gent race of beings. For want of space we are, how- ever, compelled to condense tho proceedings of this meeting more than we would have otherwise done. All the resolutions approving of the objects of the meeting were unanimously agreed to, and a liberal sub- xeription, at the conclusion of the business, entered into Fifth Anniversary Meeting of the New York State Society for the Abolition of Capita! Punishme: At the hour appointed for meeting, the Minerva Room was filled with « company, among whom we noticed that the fair sex greatly preponderated. After waiting patiently a long time with quaker solemnity, (by the by there were several of that garb in the as- sembly), the Vice-President, Dr. Harson, entered, fal- lowed by a train of orators. and took the chair, and the meeting wax opened, it being already late in the evening. It was “capital punishment” to be kept 80 long suspended. On the intimation of the Chairman, Mr. Pierpoint, a clerical gentleman then arose, and delivered a prayer. Mr. Titus then read a report or address, drawn up at the direction of the Executive Committee, explanatory of the views of the Society, and also briefly relating the efforts which had been carried by it into operation during the last year. ‘The report was then put to the vote, and unani- mously adopted and ordered to be printed. Park Gopwix, Esq... then briefly addressed the meeting, and gave a history of the progress of the question, and a view of its present state amd condition Mr. Crannixa, from Boston, one of the clerical teachers of that city, was then introduced, and address- ed the mecting. This gentleman entered into a dis. course of the most sublimated, etherial and transcen- dental kind, the chief and prominent topies-of which were, Ist. That there is. spirit abroad which has on- tered into the world, and now pervades the age. 2nd ‘That this new spirit is. compared with the old spirit which formerly impelled society. analagous to what the water-cure is to bleeding in inflammatory cases. 3rd, ‘That this spirit « now fills the age and is manifested every where.” It i evidenced in the great repub- lican movemement in France, &e. 4th. It consist in “a trust or moral power.’ Sth—That this spirit is providential, and was from the Divinity, and, there- fore, the age ix now inspired, and “has a sanction from on high,” in this and all similar movements, 6th—It is not a Spirit which comes from “ human wil- fulness.” and that Pope Pius the 9th has said as much. After this highly etherialized, and empyreal flight into uerial regions of sublimated’ imaginations, which to catch and confine, would require a pneumatic appara- tus, the clerical orator next proceeded to discuss the question before the meeting, under three heads, though still in a somewhat gaseous exapnsivencss. 1st, on the Justice of Capital Punishment—2nd. fon the necessity of the same—3rd, on the assertion that it is sanctiou- ed by Scripture. And having argued and dis- cussed the question under these three heads, he concluded by maintaining that the onl: Justice was to reform criminals, and that it was absurd for society to make war against one poor solitary individual. ‘Time and space will not allow us to follow the orator into hell, where the devila were re- presented as thinking it one of the meanest possible sights to see all society resorting to the use of brute force against one. poor, pitiable, blighted creature ; nor have wo time to give the rich, florid, aud somewhat turgid—certainly very thrilling—description of a man dangling by a rope in the air, with all the particulars, &e. The orator having descended from the high tribune, ‘The Chairman then reminded the meeting of the customary collection for the expenses of the socicty, and, pending the collection. a committee of gentlemen was appointed to nominate officers for the ensuing om "Mr. Honack Gaxeuey next addressed the meeting, in a plain and common sense speech, in which first he analysed the character and motives of the opponents of the views of the Society, attributing their op- position mainly to mistaken conscientious motives. Having next brought forward an array of celebrated names of jurists in favor of the abolition of death, he next proceeded to discuss the question under the head of safety, and brought forward illustrations to show that in countries and places where men protect themselves with instruments of death and earry deadly weapons, ready to act at a moment on tho principle of blood for blood and death for death—in those very countries the lives of all persons are much more in danger, than where a milder, gentler code prevails and that life is render- ed more insecure by the deadly array which is inten- ded to give it security. Mr. Greely having hastened to a conclusion, on ac- count [of the lateness of the hour, the meeting then ad- journed. Police Intelligence. Newark Bank Robbery.—The black woman who found the package of money on board the Jersey City ferry boat, belonging to the Newark Bank, was not ex- amined at the third ward station house by Assistant Captain Appleton, She was brought to the «tation house by a Mr. Maxon and officer Wood, and after tome private conversation with them. went away, firet promising the officer to meet him the next day at the station house. No charge was made against her by officer Wood, neither did he wish her detained, as he did not suspect her at the time of having possession of the money. but supposed she had some acquaintance or intimacy with the individual who had. The facts which have since transpired relative to the affair, were elicited from circumstances which subsoquently came to the knowledge of officer Wood, which led to the arrest of the party, and the recovery of the money. Newark Bank Case—More Pvrticulars.—We noticed in the Herald yesterday, the arrest of Sarah Stewart, the black woman, on Saturday night. by officers Cro- sett and Wood, of the lower police, and her committal by Justice Oxborne, for a further hearing. The sam officers arrested early yesterday morning. the husband of this woman, Henry Stewart. on board the steamboat John Potter, where he is employed asa waiter ; he war brought to the police office and searched. and on his person were found a few dollars in silver. together with $10 or $15 worth of policy slips. but no bank bills on the Newark Banking and Insurance Co. His wife. St rah, is a great gambler in lottery policies, and in order to account to her friends for the various sums of money she had in her possession, #he said she had made a hit” on a policy number for $200—a story concocted merely to lull suspicion. In the room oceupied by her in Jersey city, the officers found a handsome sofa. ma- hogany chairs. new carpets, card tables, and a new suit of clothes bought for her husband, together with many other articles. amounting in all, to over $200. all of which, were purchased with the bank money, Mr John Tayldr, the President of the bank. accompanied by one of the bank directors. came in the city yester- day, and called upon Justice Osborne, expressing much pleasure at the arrests made by officers Crosett and Wood, under the directions of the magistrate. in order to investigate the whole affair.and bring the guilty parties to justice. Mr. Taylor obtained an interview with Saral her cell. when. after a short conversation, she acknowledged the whole facts, and told a very clear story. beginning from the day she took the money from the boat until her arrest, thereby divulging some very astounding facts connected with constable Jenkins, who took all the money from the accused, told her to stand outside the room, while Jenkins and Woolsey counted the money, which detained them between on and two hours, and if the landlord came, Jenkins told her to say they were the persons whom she bought the furniture of ; after counting the money. they left the house, promising to meet her on Wednesday next at Hoboken, and give her some money. Officer Crosett arrested yesterday two other colored women, called Mra, Titus and Louisa Hilton. both o from th testimony given before the magistrate. show most con- clusively. that through the information given on Fri- day night by Mr. Francis Mason, of No. 248 Greenwich atr where Louisa Hilton and Sarah Stewart pur- chased the tea trays, and the arrest made on that night in consequence, was the cause of the money being reco- vered. We stated yesterday that the reward of $2500 n paid to constable Jenkins by the bank; such, , We ascertain from the President is not the case, as some doubts exist as to the whole amount of the money having heen recovered. ‘The loose ner in which the business was d f Jenkins, in taking the money wi t bringing th cane before the legal authorities, and allowing the woman to escape. ax well aa her accomplices, is highly reprehensible, How did Mr. Jenkins know that $21,260 was allthe money lost by the bank, w the bank officers themselves were unable to tell the exact amount until several days would elapse, to balance up ac- counts? It was as likely to suppose that the bank lont $25.000 aw $21,260, and the former amount, we understand, i much nearer the sum. Yet Mr. Jenkins. without any caution or forethought. seized the bundle of money, carried it to the hank. and per- mitted the guilty parties to escape. The pr directors have now got before them all the facts of the robbery, brought to light by Justice Osborne and his officers, who intend to have the whole matter most thoroughly investigated. which will show up a very singular transaction, and that, too, befure any reward {x paid to any one. ————— COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS. MONEY MARKET. Monday, May 5—6 P.M. There was no material chango in the stock market, The foreign news has had no influence upon prices, nd the closing quotations ruled about the same as those current on Saturday. The transactions were to 4 very limited extent, and there was no disposition ex- hibited to realize, Long Island advanced ‘4 per Norwich and Worcester 4; Reading Railroad ris Canal At the second board, there were only two or three sales. ‘The foreign news is considered rather favorable than otherwise, Consols, corn and cotton were firm at pre vious quotations; and there were indications in the manufacturing districts, of grenter activity, Orders from the United States and from the Kast Indies, to some extent, had made their appearance in Manches- ter, and the prospect of an improved demand for manu- factured goods had given a better focling to those engaged in the trade, Money was oxceedingly abun- dant in London; and the rate of interest ruled at 3 per cent out, and 3% per cent in, the bank. So far as Great Britain was concerned, the commercial accounts are, on the whole, more encouraging. Sinall investments continued to be made in London in American State stocks, at provious prices.
