It is hoped that this step in the right direction will at once be followed by the conclu. | sion of am armistice, the terms of which would | provide for the immediate cessation of hostilities by sea wnd land; for the evacuation of the Duchy of Schles- wig and its islands by both the troops of both the bdeliigerents, and for the restitution of eaptured ships | and proper The further evacuation of Holstein | would of course follow on the fulfilment of these other conditions; the Duchies would thus be relieved from the wasting presence of hostile armies; and a fair pros- pect of peace would be offered to the north of Europe, upon conditions by which the rights of Denmark and of the German portion of the duchies might be recon- ciled. We sincerely hope that no fresh incident will arise to augment the ditheulty of this pacific arrange: ment; and that the German army will at once return to the position it occupied before this deplorable expe- | dition.

The members draw their eight dollars per day, while they are thus wasting their time in | making electioneering tours to Baltimore and Phi- | ladelphia, and endeavoring to interfere with the | choice of the people in their candidates for the Pre- | sidency. | This conduct should be denounced. Apart from the direct waste of money, Congress have abun- dance of national matters, of the highest moment, requiring their attention and legislation. Wha; business have the several members to be dodging about the cities of Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York? What business have they to be loaf- ing about our streets, and electioneering for Gene- | ral Cass, or General Taylor, or any other candi- date? It would be much better if they had remain- ed at Washington, and attended to their duties as legislators—the business for which they were elected, and for which they are paid. The money which they draw from the people while they are electioneering, would go a good way towards con- structing an ocean steamer for our navy, of which the country isin much need at present. If they wish to forward the election of any particular can- didate, let them do so after the. adjournment of Congress. Don’t do so any more—there’s good boys. Tue Recent Irtsx Demonstration—Its Poti- rica Purroses.—The Globe, of this city, which is the organ of one set of the politicians who figur- ed so philanthropically at the Irish demonstration at the Tabernacle, on Monday last, says, that be- cause we were unable to break the moral force of “that demonstration, we have chosen to assail it with dishonest and paltry misrepresentations of its objects and purposes. This accusation is wrong. We feel as much sympathy for Ireland in her mis- fortune, as any of the spouters at that demonstra- tiondo. We do not wish to destroy the moral force which the sympathy of uny part of the world may have on England, in favor of Ireland; but we wish to destroy the political influence which is thought to be created here, by a few out-of-office pohticians, who wish to attain what they have in view by organising the foreign citizens into a dis- tinct political party, to vote for such candidates as these designing men will dictate to them. This is what we wish to destroy; and believing as we do, that the demonstration in question was concocted for that purpose, we would be false to our position if we did not openly denounce their motives. The columns of our journal, fora series of years past, will prove that we deeply sympa- thize with the cause of Ireland, and would gladly see her eight or nine millions of people take their stand among the nations of the earth, free and un- trammelled by foreign dominion; but we have no idea that the wrongs which that country has en- dured for ages, and is still enduring, shall be used as stepping stones to reach office, position, or emolument in this country. This is what we con- demn, and we shall continue to deprecate it. We desire not a repetition of the scenes that followed Bishop Hughes’ organization of the Irish voters, a few years since: We desire not to see edifices dedicated to the ever-living God, desecrated by a mob, and burned to the ground by an infunated multitude. We desire not to see the streets of a neighboring city run again with the blood of its citizens; nor to see the revealed word of God hoist- ed around the streets of New York at the end of a pendent press, in a free and independent coun- try, is boundless. It pervades every avenue of so- ciety, and makes itself heard in the councils of the State and of the nation—in the halls of justice, in the hotel and in the closet—in fact, every where. It is feared and dreaded by the corrupt and profli- gate, and admired and cherished by the honest and virtuous portion of the people. The independent press of the United States has reached an eminence, and has become possessed of a power, that entitles it to rank, among the powers of government, as a fourth estate; and yet as influential as any—the legislative, the executive, and the judicial being the other three. The measures which are discussed and brought to the attention of the people by the independent press, are’ thoroughly digested and taken in hand by the legislature, framed into laws by that body, | carried out by the executive, and administered by the judiciary on the bench, in the courts of justice. | It is needless to refer to instances to prove this proposition. Every one of our readers remembers them in the history of the United States, for the last ten years. The influence of the independent press has, how- | ever, lately been exercised in a wider sphere. It has been felt and acknowledged in the recent Whig National Convention in Philadelphia, con- | vened for the purpose of nominating candidates for | the Presidency and Vice Presidency, to be sup- ported by that party at the ensuing election. - | veral candidates were before that body, the most | prominent of whom were General Taylor and | Henry Clay. The nomination of the former of | these gentlemen was urged on many grounds, one | of which was, that it would be acceptable to the because he was first taken in hand and mentioned for that office by the independent | press of the Atlantic cities; and he was nominated This was a high tribute to the independent press; but it was deserved. The New York Herald was the first journal that promulgated the idea that he was worthy of the Presidency. We observed his coolness, sagacity and determination in the victo- rious conflicts on the Rio Grande, and we imme- ought that he was the man for the peo- | ple, and that such characteristics as he displayed | #9 those occasions would not go unrewarded. He was afterwards taken in hand by the politicians; but not until we had reiterated the opinion that he would yet be nominated by the people. This is the first time, we believe, in the history | of the independent press, that its influence has been felt in the selection of candidates for the Pre- sidency; and considering the short time that has cJapsed since its commencement, it augurs well for the eontrol which it is destined hereafter to exer- cise on similar occasions. country, ‘The independent press | ot New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Baltimore, | constitute, at the present moment, the great centre | of intellect aud thought of the American confe- dera lly those of the two first named lt is a department of government that speaks plainly and honestly its views on matters of y; most espec wities public weal—that is always in session—that 1s ever vigilant and never asleep—that dares to speak the truth openly and broadly, without regard to consequences, and ranks as the great conservative | power of the State.

We considered it our duty, as an independent journalist, pledged to no particular party or interest, and caring no more for one than another, to de- nounce, promptly and severely, the motives which | we think actuated the politicians who were at the | bottom of the recent Insh demonstration in the Tabernacle. These gentlemen are always over- flowing with sympathy for Ireland about election times ; but at all other periods, they care no more for Ireland, or her misfortunes, than the natives of Timbuctoo do. We denounced the motives of these gentlemen—and we repeat what we said on that occasion, and reiterate our belief—that the objects of the getters up of that affair were purely persona] ; and instead ef its being a demonstration for Ireland, we believe it was a demonstration on the Irish voters, to be fellowed up until after the Presidential election, and then to be heard of no | more | | Mr. Levin, Memper of Coxgress, on Major Tocuman’s Case.—One of our Washington corres- pondents, in giving a brief statement of the case | to attribute improper motives to Mr. Li advocacy in that affair.

Siemens ‘Tus Cotorgp PoruLatios or Tur Uxitep States AnD THE West Inpies.—By a statistical report o the Island of Cuba, for 1847, as follows :— White. Free Cold. Slaves. Total. 112,736 in the last six years, This is a most remarkable fact; and the slave po- pulation of the other Islands in the West Indic we believe, presents a similar feature—a decrease during the last few yea In the British West in- dies, where slavery has been abolished, the popu- lation of. the colored race. has not only been dimi- nished, but demoralized, by receiving that very liberty which was considered so great a boon | by European philanthropists. In the md of Hayti, where the same race have enjoyed perfect and uncontrolled liberty, with self-government, ulso, for many years, they are even in a worse state of degradation, demoralization and diminution of numbers. Liberty, united with political power, seems even a worse boon than liberty without poli- tical power. All the West India Islands seem to be utter wrecks. Now, when we turn to the same race in the Southern States of this Union, what a contrast do we behold! During the last forty years the negro race of the South have increased from one to three millions, at least. Their comforts, morals, conve- niencies and enjoyments are far superior to those of the same race in the West Indies, either as slaves, freemen, or holding political power, as in Hayti. What is the reason of all this difference ? Can we account for it in any other way than that the negroes of the South are under the control, in- fluence and example of a superior race—that of the | Anglo-Saxon? And do not these broad faets show that the Africans, asa race, are incapable of pro- ducing, by the same political and personal mghts, the like degree of general happiness, such as the white race exhibit and enjoy? The English Gov- ernment in their West India policy, have much to answer for. Tria or Tus Mover Arrisrs—Tueim Convic- t10N.—The trial of two men, who were engaged, some time since, in exhibiting naked men and women, under the specious name of Model Artists, was brought on in the Court of Sessions in this city on Wednesday last, and resulted in their convic- tion and punishment—the prisoners having been sentenced to pay a fine of one hundred dollars each, and to be confined for thirty days in the city prison. This is ended as it oughtto have ended, and its conclusion may be looked upon as a vindication of law and morality, over the worst form of lasci- viousness and vice. It reflects credit on our city, and proves that, though vice and immorality may flourish for a day, the law of the land, backed and supported byasound and virtuous public opinion, 1s abundantly capable of repressing it, and punish- ing the offenders. An amusing scene took place in the examina- tion of one of the witnesses for the defence, who swore that Madame Adolph, a famous fortune teller inthis city, informed him that Mr. McKeon went to her house and consulted her in regard to the chances of the election. This, as might be expect- ed, nonplussed the District Attorney,and convulsed the spectators and the court. It is due to Mr McKeon to say, that he peremptorily denied hav- ing had the consultation in question, having the fullest confidence how the election would termi- nate. The verdict will be approved by the whole community, and we hope will be a warning to evil doers hereafter. The conviction in this case was, however, as fur as an abatement of the evil is concerned, a work of supererogation. Public opinion had already stamped these exhibitions with the seal of con- demnation. Patronage was entirely withdrawn from them; so that they died for want of en- couragement. This speaks volumes in favor of the moral tone of the commercial emporium, and shows that, composed as our population 18, of citi- zens of every country, as well as of our own. vein of decorum and virtue rans through it, wh. will di8courage ticious and demoralizing exhibi- tions of all kinds. We have successfully vindi- cated our character in this matter, and can again take our stand as a virtuous community, having purged ourselves of the stigma that was attached tous, by the impunity with which these exhibi- tions were conducted for a time Democratic N: ane Srare or New Yorx.—The following is a list of the newspapers in this State, arranged according to the new divi- sion of barnburners and hunkers—those opposed to General Cass—those supporting him :— Hunkers Barnburners Albany Atlas, Buffalo Daily Republican, Binghampton Courier, Catskill Recorder, Buffalo Batavia Spirit of the Chemung Jeffersonian, Ballston Demoerat, Columbian Democrat, 4 Binghampton Courier, Delaware Gazette, Catskill Democrat, Democratic Advocate, Cattaraugus Republi (Kings GP) Chenango De Democratic Reflector,(Ma- Chenango Union, dison Co.) ; rry Valley Gazette, Elmira Gazette, * Fonda Sentinel, Goshen Clarion, hitteningo Democrat.

Of the period of its re-opening we are not aware; we presune it will be within a few weeks. weny Turarny,—The engagement of Miss Mary Taylor, aud her appearance here this evening, will no Miss T. isa very great favorite, and deservedly so She has grown up among us in New York, and though young in years, the early age at which she commenced her thgatrical career, has given her full experience in all matters pertaining to the stage ;“and moreover, she has great talents, which enable her to make use of this experience to the best advantage. As an actress, she is, we may say, une- qualled for versatility, and unlike versatile geniuses xenerally, every thing she does, she does well. As a singer, her reputation is established as one of the swevtest and also scientific singers among us. We ex- pect her present engagement will be a most successful one, She will appear this evening in the favorite drama of ‘Cherry and Fair Star.” ‘This drama will be produced with great magn'ficenco as to scenery, &e., end the agrecable diversity of smart datogue and pret- ty songs,render it a very entertaining piece. The regular company will muster strong in the caste also. Besides Cherry, Miss ‘T, will appear as Marion, in the “ Pride of the Market,” a character she has made entirely her own, The comedy of “Is He Jealous,” will precede the spectacle of * Cherry and Fair Star,”? Nruo’s.—The charming little Viennoise dancers re- main yet a night or two, and this evening will go through several of their most admired dances, These little fairies are such fatorites with the public, that we do not see how we can ever let them go; but it seems the case admits of no alternative; go they must, there- fore the best thing to be done is to see them as often as possible, before they depart. Walcot, John Sefton, Mrs. Maeder, and the other members of the dramatic company, will perform also this evening, in the laugh- able farces of “The Man Without a Head,” and “John Jones."” Such an elegant bill, performed in such a magnificent theatre, cannot fail to attract a large audience, Cuarnuam Turatre.—Mr. H. P. Grattan has been engaged at this house, and will appear this evening, in the drama of the “Rebel Chief." He will take the part of Edward O’Brien, the chief. This is a most interest- ing drama, founded on occurrences in Ireland in '98, we believe. Mr. Grattan is well known as a finedelineator of such characters as O’Brien, and we look to see the house crowded to-night. Besides the “Rebel Chief,” the farce of “New York Milliners,” and the drama of “The Chain of Guilt,” will be performed. The Chat- ham has become such a popular place of resort, that a thin house is now the exception, a fall one the rule. ‘We do not wonder at it, as the company, and the way things are managed, are both first rate. Casttr Ganvex.—The delightful summer weather which, we trust, has now fairly set in, will make a visit to this charming place one of the pleasantest in town, particularly as the performances there to be witnessed are of the most refined and amusing dosoription. Holland, Nickinson, G, Andrews, Mrs, Vernon, Miss M:Kingon, and many others are among the company, and the pieces produced by these artists will always be admirably performed with most splendid accessories of scenery, dresses, decorations, &c. ‘To-night, for in- stance, the very laughable farce of “ Done on both sides," and the drama of + Lavater the Physiognomist”’ will be played. Suitable intermissions will be allowed for promenade and refreshments ; and where can a finer promenade, or, indeed, bett:r refreshments be procured than in this splendid hall. We would men- tion that the garden is m between sunrise and 5, P. M., for visitors who wish to avail themselves of its tine breezes and healthy oceanic air. Admission during those hours 124 cents; in the evening, to the per- formances, 26 cents, Citizens who remain in town during summer, and strangers visiting our city, will find it a most delightful resort. Cuuisty’s Mixstnexs.—These singers will proceed with their inimitable concerts every evening this week. The whole city—and for that matter, the Union, too—are so well acquainted with the great me- rits of these singers, that we need only to say they seem to get better and better every day. Borresixt, Anpit1 ano Desvennine’s Grand Concert at the Tabernacle this evening, just comes at the right time, as the town is at present and has been, since the downfall of the Italian Opera Company, laboring under an excessive dearth of music of the Italian order.— This concert, therefore, will serve as a refresher te those who yearn for such pleasure, Bottesini has been styled the Peganani of the violoncello, a curious instru- mont, certainly, to extract delightful solo strains from. | 2 but soit is; he manages it most originally and artisti- cally. Arditi is an admirable violinist, and Desvernine a pianist of great attainments. The ever popular and | charming Mad. Pico, and Sig. Vietti, will give their as- | sistance, and altogether. as the programme includes 80 many excellent pieces of music, affording all of these cminent artists an opportunity of showing to advan- | tage. we expect that this concert will be the most ad- mirable one of the season, vanp’s Panorama will not remain here much | ‘The proprietor contemplates soon taking it to | surope. Those, therefore, who wish to see it, had bet- ter avail themselves of the opportunity soon. It is, undoubtedly, one of the grandest specimens of paint- | ing, on the large scale, eyer seen in this country. | Henson's Panorama of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers will be opened for public exhibition this evening, at the Apollo Rooms. Mr. Hudson has received a great num- ber of certificates from those engaged in the business of traveling over those parts of the rivers which he has represented, and the universal opinion is that his pa- norama is a'most correct and graphic one. It repre- souts fully 1400 miles of country, and, we doubt not. it will become a most popuiar exhibition. Sourn American Isoian Curniosities.—We would | call the attention of our readers to the exhibition of South American curiosi which will be opened this day, at 306 Broadway. They are most remarkable cu- riosities, and show how truly “necessity is the mother of invention;” for the savages, by whom they were made, are destitute of anything like tools or iron, and | taken | indelicate, An express has arrived from New Orleans. It states that a gentleman arrived on the 3d inst. from Tampi- co, who says it was rumored at that place, that San Luis Potos! had beon attacked and captured by 6000 Indians, and the inhabitants had sought safety in flight. Another rumor was, that the anti-peace party had | od possession of the place. Withdrawali of the Volunteer Force from Mexico. Wasnixarox, June 11, 1848.

It is understood that the official annunciation of peace will not be made until our troops have all reached the frontier. ‘This will probably keep the Court of In- quiry, at Frederick, in session until Gen. Pillow’s case is disposed of ; and, probably, long enough to permit the trial of Gen. Scott, on charges preferred by Gen. Pillow. The Baltimore Delegations to the Whig Convention returned on Saturday night, and rallied in front of Barnum’s Hotel, where a great Taylor ratification meeting was held. Many speeches were made, and tre- mendous enthusiasm prevailed. Robinson’s chair factory in South street, was destroy- ed by fire last night. Court of Inquiry. Frepenicx, June 10—P. M.

A Countryman Done on the Five Points.—-Officer Gilgan, of the Sixth ward police, while on his rounds on the Five Poiuts on Friday night, observed a man lying on the sidewalk, in Little Water street, without hat or coat, in a stupid state of intoxication; he picked him up and carried him to the station house, where, on Meer | to, he said his name was Isaac Morehouse, and resided when at home four miles from Somerville, New Jersey. It appears from his story, that he visited the Five Polnts to see the sights; and in doing so, fell in company with several belles of that region, who inticed him into a dance house, induced him to drink, and in‘ that, some drug was mixed,which effected the poor coun trymen’s head, so that he soon became stupidly drunk thieves at once flocked around the greenhorn ; the first one turned his pockets inside out and stole his money.

It appeared the plaintiffs and defendant occupied the store No. 7 Pine street— the plaintiffs the first floor, basement, and sub-base- | ment, or cellar, and the defendants the second story, excepta small part in the rear, at foot of the stairs leading to the second floor, where there was erected a set of folding doors. extending from the foot of said stairs to a pillar which, with others, sustains the front wall of the building. Those doors swing towards, and are closed and fastened on the inside of the defendant's premises. The plaintiffs allege that the doors are of great importance to persons occupying the store, giving great facility of ingress and ogress into and from the first story, and that the fall which belongs to the store can only be used by having access to it through those doors. it appeared that in 1846, the defendant closed those folding doors, by which he prevented all ingress and egress to and from the cellar; and also cut the rope, and afterwards splicod it, and’ caused the hatch- way to be nailed down.

Provide Against the Ills of Poverty.._.Tbhe Massachusetts Health Insurance Company have established an agoncy in New York, at No. 6% Chambers street, where all per- sone who desire to make provision against the ‘ills of poverty —_ sickness, can apply and receive information relative to the principles and advantages of health insnranco, the Liverpool market. Prices for breadstuffs are not affected much either way, on this side, by the slight variations in price in England. Our domestic demand for consumption is such as to keep prices above a re- munerating point, and the reduced supply prevents any accumulation of stock in the seaport markets. It is the opinion of many engaged in the trade, that prices for breadstuffs must, before the closo of the ‘sea- son, rule very low—lower than have been known for many years past. Circumstances cartainly are in favor of this; but we cannot agree with them. ‘The absence of an external demand of any importance, and the favorable prospects of an abundant harvest, are strong evidences in favor of a very great reduction in prices; but the farmers are not disposed to submit to any great decrease from those now current ; if they cannot get such prices as are sufficiently remunera- tive, they will keep back their supplies. The far- mers are much more able to do so now, than they have before been for several years. The stock of breadstuffs in the interior must be very largo; the crops of last year have not been brought out, the demand for flour for shipment having ceased just at harvest time last season; and it must be admitted that the quantity of grain raised in 1847, exceeded that of any one of the previous ten years. The high prices current at plant- ing and sowing timo, gave # great impetus to produc- tion, and the breadth of land cultivated in the fall of 1846 and spring of 1847, was probably greater than in any previous year within the history of the country. The harvest of 1847 must, therefore, have been unusu- ally prolific, very little of which has, as yet, reached market. Those who infer from the reduced receipts, that the supply in the interior is smaller than it was at the samo period last year, make a great mis- take; and if they govern themselves accordingly in their operations in the article, may be sorely deceived. We have seen what an immense quan- tity of grain and flour was brought to the sea- board from the West, in the fall of 1646 and spring of 1847, when prices ranged high and such large profits were guarantied, without any previous know- ledge upon which an increased production was ensur- ed. The supplies received in those seasons, were from the usual harvests of the country; but the surplus may have been acumulating for many seasons,in consequence of the low range of prices ruling. When such immense quantities of breadstuffs were brought out in that way, what can we not expect when every producer in the country brings into cultivation every acre of old land, and as much new as can be prepared in season for the sved, and is induoed, by the prospect of an extensive demand and high prices, to raise every bushel of grain in his power. The harvests of 1847 were the result of these incentives, and the quantity of breadstuffs in the hands of the producers must be very great. The re- ceipts thus far this, have not been so large asin either of the two previous seasons,even with the high prices which have ruled since the opening of navigation; and the probability is, that the aggregate for the year will not exeeed, and perhaps not equal, that of 1846. We have so much confidence in the ability of the producing classes to hold, that it is our lmpression that even the favorable prospects of an abundant har- vest this year will not induce them to bringout the bulk of their old crops before the new is harvested. At the rate of receipts realized since the ope! of ca- nal navigation, we shall not accumulate a wry large stock for winter consumption, as it requires about the entire transportation for two months, at least, to give a supply sufficient to meet the demand on the At- lantic coast through the winter. The annual consump- tion of the seaboard markets is immense, and is in- creasing at a rapid rate. This demand is already so large that prices, even in the absence of an important demand for shipment, be sustained at high points, as will be seen by the daily quotations. In view of all these facts, we do not see how there can be any great depreciation in the market value of breadstuffs ; but, on the contrary, we see every probability of present prices being maintained for the largest portion of the season. For a short time after the approaching har- vest, prices may decline; but the necessity for pro- viding for winter consumption, will restore them again to the present level. At ruling rates, the farmers get pretty well paid for their labor, and flour should not go below five dollars a barrel to remunerate the producer.

The stock market during the past week has been un- usually inactive, It has been impossible to prevent prices from steadily drooping. Even the announcement that peace with Mexico had been secured upon the terms offered by our government, and the nomination of General Taylor for the Presidency, could not arrest the downward tendency, and the market closed heavy. Although the general complexion of things in the street has beon in favor of the bears, the bulls have been encouraged by one or two bright spots, One or two of the fancies have improved soveral per cent., and holders have been relieved of a portion of their supplies at better prices than they anticipated a week or two since, The depreciation in most of the fancies is at- tributed entirely to the continued exportation of apeoio in such large sums. Within the past week, about eight hundred thousand dollars have been shipped to Liver- pool and Havre, and there are no indications of an im- mediate suspension of th» drain, It cannot continue much longer without seriously embarrassing our city banks, and through them the commercial classes gene- rally. The receipts of specie from the South and West are falling off, and the supply will have to be furnishod by the Atlantic cities, if the demand is kept up. In the face of this drain of the precious metals, the importations are increasing, even upon those of Inst yoar, when they were known to have beon large. ‘The valuo of merchandise imported into this district, ex- ciusive of that sent to the warehouse, and the amount of duties received during the first nine days of Juno in cach of the past throo yours, were as antiexed:— Commence or tur Port oy New Yore—Vauur or ae er be - & le ‘ree Lie . fi S Damen ana nt Pe colebrated warrants |"Dutisble goods <2 1,489,005 1, 635)813 3,017,007 i le, except by actu- , 2,085,612 tay a Cada vas g ott! merobandie.....
