While there, he was desirous of seeing a report of the previous day’s debates in Congress. Said he to the gentlemanly keeper of the hotel where he put up: “{ would like to see one of the | ‘Wa: hin; ton papers—the one that contains the best reports of the debates in Congress.” The landlord Jooked at the Captain a moment, and then re- phed:—*Why, sir, if you wish to see a report of the debates in Congress, you must not take up a ‘Washington paper ; you. can’t find it there; they | do notjublich any ; you must go to New York and take the Hera/d—that is the only paper that pub- iehes the debates now-a-days.” ‘‘‘That’s very edd;” said the Captain—* no reports inthe Wash- ington papers!” All this is strictly tne. The” New York Herald is now the only paper that publishes reports of the | regular, as wellas the irregular, proceedings of Congress. These reports, in full, reach us by mail, unlees something of striking interest occurs; then we have a full report transmitted to us exclusively by the electric telegraph, sometimes at an expense of betw een two and three hundred dollars for one day’s proceedings. We have a brief telegraphic Feport every day. Now that the long session of Congress is draw- ing to a close, and the movements in Washington are to have an effect on the great con in November next, the proceedings of both the Senate and House of Representatives, will be read with the greatest interest in all parts of the Union. Both houses have lately been tured into “Tammany Hall,” and ‘National Hall,” or ‘Canal street,” and there is every Teeson to suppose that daily political meetings will contiiue to be held therein. The speeches of the members of Congress, at these meetings, will form the basis for political action throughout the country; and although they are disgraceful, they are important in this point of view. Our arrangements enable us to give full and graphic reports. They are daguerreotypes of the daily proceedings. They present a picture of both houses, and are, therefore, sought atter by the public. ‘We refer our readers to those published in another column of this day’s Herald. ‘The Abolitionists and ‘President Van Buren, We publish in our columns to-day another political pronunciamento, the last of the season thus far, which has been issued by the Tappans and others, the leaders of the original abolition party, to all the faithful in the North, South, East and West. This document is a very important paper at the present time. It upsets the tions of John Yan Buren, his dad, the nominee for the presidency, and of the whole regular barn- burning family in the North. The barnburners depended strongly on an accession to their ranks | by the abolition party of the Northern States; but this pronunciamento knocks the thought into a eocked hat, without the benefit of clergy. It willbe seen that the abolitionists will support no candi for the Presidency but the one who has been nomt- nated by them already, John P. Hale, and will not | abandon him for any other, not excepting even the venerable relic of Lindenwald, ex-President Van Buren—John’s dad—the embodiment of the Wilmot proviso principle. They are not to be caught with euch a trap, or half-way measure, as they term the Wilmot proviso, nor will they sup- port any half-way candidate, such as Martin Van Buren. This movement by the abolitionists will give increaced interest to the proceedings of the Aboli- tion Convention to be holden in Buffalo on the 9th of next month. Delegates from ail the Northern and Lastern States will attend there for the pur- pose of nominating a candidate for the Presi- dency, in opposition to General Cass and General Taylor. The friends of Mr. Yen Buren were in hopes that that Convention would ratify the nom- mation of Mr. Van Buren, but this movement throws some doubt over such a consummation. It also detracts from the importance attached to the movement of the Barnburners, and will no doubt cause a great deal of disagreement in the Convention ; for, doubtless, there will be many abolition delegates there, and they will not concur in Mf, Van Buren’s nomination as a can- didate for the Presidency. Exotanp anp Mexico.—We understand, from a New Orleans paper, that England has perempto- rily demanded of the government of Mexico im- mediate payment of all debts due by it to English subjects, and threatened that, in case such demand be not complied with, to blockade the ports of that country. Now, this startling piece of intelligence may, or may not be true; but we are very much disposed to think that it had its ongin in the brain of some gentleman, who had abundance of spare time on ‘his hands, and endeavored. to while away a por- tion of it by concoeting this rumor. If it is true, of which we have our doubts, Eng- land wishes to take advantage of the annual pay- ments which the United States have agreed to make to Mexico by the recent treaty of peace, as | an equivalent for the surrender of New Mexico and California, and to make those paymente shape their destination to England, instead of to Mexico. That is the only object which the English govern- ment could have in making such a threat, for that government knows very well that the United States would not tolerate the transfer or conquest of a f66t of Mexican territory to any European power, and more particularly to England. That country has territory sufficient, at least in the opinion of | the people and government of the United States, on this continent. What she has, she may keep ae long as she can, which will not be for a very Jong time, according to present appearances; but not another rood can she have for love or money. That principle is a part of the American political ereed, and, as euch, will be enforced whenever it becomes necessary to do so. ‘We are dieposed to disbelieve the whole story for this reason, that England is notin a positionto carry outa threat of any kind, and being thus si- tuated, she wonld not utter one word to Mexico. Her own national existence is in the hands of the mob. Her political fabric is upholden by the ques- taunable loyalty of the bowrgeoise, and the moment when that loyalty is witkdrawn, her downfall will follow. Between the * six points” and repeal, the Englichgovernment has enough to attend to, and | calcula: | date | Tue ‘Wasnixcton Monument snp THe Asso- e1atin:—How many years have that body of pa- riots, who call themselves the Wa-hington Monu- ment Association, been in existence? How many circulars have they issued to the public talking about the erection of a monument to the Father of his Country? How many appeals to the sympathy of the people and of editors for aid and assistance in this important matter, which should be carried out and less said about it? In addition to the va- rious appeals that have been made to us we have received the following billet dour, which was placed on our desk yesterday morning, with a long ngmarole about corner stones, officers, patriotic addrestes, and signers, from James K, Polk, ex oficio President, down to Thomas Bludgeon, a por- son of whom we know very liitle. Here is the letter :— New Youn, July 3, 1948 James G. Benwerr, Ese. : Dear Sir :—The bard of managers of the Monument Society, who are to commence the monument at Wash- | ingtow to-morrow, have requested the committee here | to have the plamr and prospects of the amsooiation pub- Vshed as much as porsible in the New York papers — | Several of the city papers have already published the enclored address—and, perbaps, you may be willing to rpare that smount of space in your editorial columas to-morrow, Mr. Kennett bas already subseribed most liberally tothe monument, and we feel that we have no right | to ask any favors.” If it will not cost more than five dollers, | Will cheerfully pay that amount out of the funds subscribed for advertising purposes by the com- mitiee 1 willeull in at the office in the course of the morning. Very rerpectfully, J.B. VARNUM, Jr. The caption which I have written, is the only one furnished to any paper. This is quite an amusing as well as a modest re- | quest. A few weeks ago, John A. Underwood, Esq., called upon us in relation to this famous monument, and explained its purpose. He was making collections to commence the corner stone, and he had gone around to several of the news- paper editors of New York, for the purpose of allow- | ing them to put down their names, to sums attach- ed to their names on a paper. It appears that | there is more patriotism than pennies among the editors ; and in order to favor the movement, many | of them are permitted to put their names to the document, as subscribers for certain amounts, from ten \o twenty dollars, while there wae a private understanding between the parties that no money was to be given, but the association were to take it out in advertising. ‘This 18 not avery open, blunt or candid manner of doing a work of patriotism, by erecting amonument to the Father of his Country by a piece of little deception. We refused to be a party to any such system. We subscribed twenty- five dollars in real money, and paid over the cash for the purpose of doing honor to the memory of Washington, and from being reheved from al | appeals to our sympathy in relation to advertise- ments, or any other matters of the kind. None of the editors of New York contributed one penny, except the twenty-five,dollars given by us, They sanction the humbug, and put their names down as we have indicated ; yet in the face of all this we see the agent modestly come forth, and, afier receiving our money, wish us to fill our columns and give more aid to -thia movement about the monument, which really and truly appears to be nothing else but a splendid humbug. We think | we have paid enough already by way of patronage to a national humbug, that talks eternally about | erecting a monument, but never lifts the first ehgvel of earth by way of preparation, In making these remarks, and giving these facts, we do it with all respect to the character, repu- tation, talents, virtue, worth, and Christian resig- nation of all the officers of this association, from | the ex eficio President down to the ex oficio agent. | Among those agents we see J. Inman, W. C. Bryant, and James Brooks, and others whom we don’t know ot. None of these gentlemen have contributed one penny, while we have contributed both money, and notices, and advertisements, and everything else that could be begged of us. Taking the whole matter, therefore, from first to last, upwards and downwards, there seems to be more meanness than manliness about the affair, and all connected with it. Mav Does.—The Common Council has au- | | thorized the Mayorto appoint suitable persons to | } kill such dogs as may be found running at large below Thirtieth street, and pay a reward of fifty | cents for each dog destroyed, with such regulations | ashe may deem proper. If we mistake not, the dog- | | killers heretofore have been permitted to carry on their waragainst the canine race each day, from sun | rise to sunset; the consequence of such regulation 1s, that the owners of dogs, the moment the sun had disappeared behind the western hills, have turned out their worthless curs to snap at every passer by; | and having been kept confined during the day, they are generally more disposed to bite than they would have been if allowed to go at large. Those persons who have had oceasion to pass Union Square and acipnent streets a late hour, we icel satisfied will vouch f rreetaess of our remarks With a view of Teen the evil com- plained of, we would suggest to his Honor the | Mayor the propriety of empowering the po! to “wage war against the canine race, hours, night and day, and allow them the same reward as is authorised to be paid to any other in- dividval, Citizens might then walk out, either by day or night, withoutfear and trembling. For the good of the public, the sooner the dogs without muzzlesare killed the better; and as it ma nothing whether the reward be paid to a polic or private citizen,to rid the community of such dan- gerous animals, we would again recommend the experiment suggested to be tried. Laver rrom Cuna.—We are in receipt of late | papers from Havana and Matanzas. Our files of the Diario de la Marina, Gaceta de la Habana, and | Aurora de Matanzas, extend to the 23d ult. All the necessary materials for the construction of an | electne telegraph between Havana and Ma had been completed in 1} t named city, and the line is immediately to be established; and also { along all the railroad lines on the island. | Desverniae, the pianist, who came on here with | | Bottesini and Arditi, had arrived out at Havana | again. His success here was but indifferent, at st so says the Diario. From Puerto Rico we obtain the following ac- count of the markets on the 10th ult. :— | “The demand for sugar continues slack; Rales, how- |, ever. are continually being made to the vessels loading. The following prices are paid :—17 to 18 rials per quin- | | tal for ordinary kinds, and for some as high as 20. rials bas been given. Tho next news from Europe, it is ox. pected, will give an impulse to the sugar market.”? ‘The Cuba papers are mostly filled with accounts of the European revolutionary movements, and the difficulties in Spain. No notice, however, is taken of these affair in the editorial columns.

By paying a small annual amount of his income or earnings, he can assure to his family, after his de- cease, a competency, or at least suflicient to main- tain them comfortably, and keep penury at a res- pectable distance. ‘There is no eduntry in the world, perhaps, where this principle of life assurance has taken so deep a root as it has in the United States. Hence we see so many life assurance companies, health assur- ance companies, and various benevolent societies, such as Odd Fellows, Order of Temperance, and a great many others too numer to mention. Fo- rv igners are desirous of participating in the profits accruing trom the business, and hence we see branches of many foreign life assurance companies, particularly English. These life assurance companies, both American and foreign, have hitherto enjoyed the confidence of the people, and were worthy of it; but we appre- hend that the revolutions in Europe, and the very precarious situation in which England is placed, willhave the effect, as it ought to have, of weakening such confidence in the stability of the English assurance companies, and, in fact, in that ofall Evropean companies. The reason of this is obvi- ous. ‘The capital stock of thos® companies out of which the losses are paid, when they become due, belong to, and are based on that gigantic fabric of credit, without any real basis, on which is founded the English national debt. As long as tranquility lasts, confidence is unimpaired, and the value of government stock, &e. is untouched; but let a revolution break out there, and, if successful, the whole edifice would tumble to the ground, and the whole credit of the country, mercantile, commer- | cial, corporate, and private, be involved in one | common ruin. ‘This is the exact position of Eng- land atthe present time. Fall she must, sooner or later—perhaps this year, perhaps next; but her downfall is inevitable in the nature of things, All persons, therefore, who intend to have their lives assured for the benefit of their fa 8, afley. their decease, should ponder on these things, and understand what they are about. We have seen recently that the European capitalists prefer in- vesting their money in American stocks, to those of any other country. They see that no European stock i¢ safe, because the governments are unsafe, and are liable to be overthrown at any moment. Our citizens should take heed, and adopt the policy which the Buriags have embarked in, by trusting in no mstance more than they can help to any investments depending for their value on the sta- bility of Europ vernments, Larer From Monrevipro axp Brazits.—We are in receipt of files of Correo Mercantil and Jornal do Comercio, up to the 28th May, by the Bremen ship Magdalena, from Rio Janeiro. Quite important news from the Argentine Republic is contained in them. ‘The dates are, from Montevideo to the 15th, and Buenos Ayres to the 10th May. The French and English special Ministers, Ba- ron Gros, and Mr. Gore, who had arrived at the Rio de la Plata, had concluded to proceed with their negotiations, notwithstanding the change of affairs 1 the government of France, They looked on their situation and duties as special ministers as being governed by different principles from those which regulate permanent embassies, and consequently determined to carry out their mis- gion, notwithstanding the charge in the French government. The state of the negotiation was as follows, After some days of vascillation, General Oribe responded in writing to the propositions of the in- tervening powers:— ‘ Ist. That the Montevidean government should re- cognize and respect the person of General Oribe, as the legal President of the republic. za ‘Ybat General Oribe should annul all confisca- tions of gocds and properties that Lave been made for | politicai causes, and which were in possession of the government, and indemnify the. proprietors of euch properties a8 should have been disposed of. 2d ‘That General Oribe would grant an act of am- nesty to the natives of the country, and guarantee the lives and properties of strangers. 4th, hat notwithstanding this amnesty, those Ar gemtine emigrants whose residence in Montevideo uctivé of uneasiness to the Buenos Ayrean gov and thus compromise the har- mony of the two republics, might be shipped to the nearest foreign ports, or sent to such parts of the in- | terior a8 General Oribe may determine, leaving the choice of destination to said emigrants. Sth. That ali armed foreigners in Montevideo shall dcliver up said arms to a commissary appointed by General Oribe. Gin. That General Oribe, whon he shail have gained portéssion of all his rights, and shall consider himself as no longer requiring the aid of his illustrious aily, the Governor ot the Argentine Confederation promises to restore the auxiliary Argentine troops, having pre viously arranged with that government as to the best measures to withdraw them from the territory of the republic. a hat this arrangement and the disarming of foreigners sball take place simultaneously In eddition to all this, the agents of France and England were to raise the blockade of both banks of we river Plata, evacuate the island of Martin Gareia, and restore to the Argentine government the veesels which they had taken, and each squa- dron was to give the Argentine fy a salute of 24 guns. ‘These demands of Gen. Oribe rendered the adjust- t Imost imporsible, inasmuch as the intervening agents, as it is said, are not an- thorized to adinit the slightest alteration from the es laid down for and presented by them, the pure and simple course of which 1s the only one in which the negotiation could proceed. Another insuperable barrier was also raised to complicate the affair. General Orbe sent an aecount to ( of the bases he had proposed. ‘Tite commuanie mn was sent by the English steumer Harpy, Oribe’s private secretary, Senor Iturriaga, being the bearer of it, and directed to make ail expla It was supposed the Harpy would return ia three days ; but she did not for seventeen. The answer which was then received covered 27 page and contrary to all the expectations of Oribe, Go- vernor Rosas denied his right to enter into these negotiatior ing treaties, in which he was the prine pal bellig rent, and thut his sole power was to make peace or war. Rosas further added that if, after these marks of his, General Oribe persisted in the line of conduct he had commenced, he would be guilty of the deepest ingratitude for favors received, and eoncludes by declaring that he will not consent to the withdrawal of the Argentine troops, and. that the execution of the bases proposed to the inter- neral Rosas | vening powers would break up the alliance between the Argentine government and General Oribe. «The above, we are assured,” says the Conservia- dor, of Montevideo, “is a resumé of the whole tran- saction.” A letter, it-was said, was also written by Rosas, to General Oribe, requiring him to. com- niunicate the whole of his opinions to the inter- vening powers, in ord: sured that he (Rosas) never would admit of other bases than those proposed by My. liood, and the additions made by his (Rosas’) government, and refased by the French and English governments. All this seems seriously to h embarrassed General Onibe, as. on the ith May, after the re- turn of the Harpy, he had made no reply to the va- rious enquiries made of him by the intervening powers. The financial condition of the Montevidean Gov- ernment Was somewhat a%ieliorated at latest dates} On the Mth, the French agents resolved to take on themeelvee the support of the families of the foreign. legions, the which much diminished the outlays of the government as to these legions. On the departure of the Kestrel from Buénos Ayres, there was a rumor rw pase into the Bando Oriental with his forces, The Spanich naval forces in the Plata waters had received orders to return to Lurope, The news from Rio Janeiro isuniinportant, The houees of legislation were in session ; we have pre- viously given the Emperor's speech on their open« ing.

Bowray Turatnr.—This house presented quite an @uimated appearince on Tuesday af erncon and even- ing. its vast accommedasions forvisiters were crowded to excers, and all the hilarity and joyourness appropriate toa holiday were visible in every face. Our country friends mustered in lurge force, and many parties who were probably making their first visit to any theatre, sonmuedl be te tn manch aavesed with the noveity of the seene around them. a« with the business going on on the stage. The triumphant pittites gave full it to their feelings of delight; the beau and his fair sweet- heart in the boxes, mutually enjoyed the play a d their own company, and many ama-ing interludes awong the audience » dded to the general zest; andeven the color- ed folks, away up in their gallery, rolled up the whites of theireye-, and by their zealous applause gave tokens of their patriotic approval of the holiday doings. Io the evening Miss Taylor never looked more charming, or acted more spiritedly than in her famous part in the “Devil in is.” This piece is one that ji suits her—the rapid and total changes which she makes in ber attire and character during the piece, from the Je looking stranger, down to the vivacious gamin of Weg, are truly surprising. The plot of the piece though of course somewhat improbable, is so skilfaily jut together as to reem natural enough. The “widow for the third time in her hfe,” was amusingly perform ed by Mrs. Stickney. J. H. Hall, Clarke, Mrs. Phillips, and the other performers did excellen'ly. The drama of the "Wirard of the Wave” concluded the perform- ances, an allegorical tableau having been given betwoen the pieces, and the gunpowder, &c., in this piece, made it quite appropriate for the evening of 4th July. It ‘was finely performed, and the applause it met with was tremendous, Altogether, a more triumphant 4th of July ha er passed off at the Bowery. Mr. Hamblin made many hearts happy by his judicious selections, pleased all bis patrons. and also, we should think, r ceived quite a handsome sum at his box office, day, all ot which is as it should be, and thus en Ath: of July at the Bowery. ‘The proprietor of the Bowery theatre has very hand-omely tendered a benefit to Messrs. Kipp & Brown, owners of the Green- wich line of stages. which will take place this evening, at the above theatre, When it is remembered how severely they suffered by the late destructive fire, which consnmed pri p> ty toa large amount, there can be lit- tie doubt but that the Bowery, this evening, will be crammed in every department. Nipio’s, Astor Prace,—The entertainments at this magnificent and popular place of amusement, were of avery interesting’ character on Tuesday, and drew a crowded house, both in the afternoon, as well asin tle | evening; nevertheless, the admirable arrangements cf the house precluded even the idea of any one suffering fromm heat, or being unéomfortably seated. In the af- ternoon, the enterta nments commenced py an extra- ordinsry concert by the Viennoise children, which was followed by the laughable piece of “John Joucs,”” Sefton appearing as Guy Goodluck, The Vienn ise ehildren then favored the aadience with a bri liaut di- yertirement, consisting of ten dances, which was most enthusiastically applauded, as was also the Chinese dance of “Tehing, Tchang. Tchung”” In the evening, tle dancing and grouping of the Vienuvise children, ip the *Pas des Fleurs,’ Gallop des Drapeanx,” and “Chinese Balobilé,” astonished and delighted the thou sands who were present. The Belgian giant also ap- peared forthe lust time, in a beautiful tableaux, as “Goliah Going to Battle’ The laughable farce of “Un- cle Sum.* in Which the inimitable Sefton appeared as Dick Dumpy. went off with great eclat, The enterpri sng proprietor, determined to keep up the popularity which this place of amusement has acquired since he became “master of the ceremonies,” has ergaged the Lehman Family, and the extraordinary comic genius, Mons. Marcetti, late of the Ravel compa- ny; Mons, Christien, Italian pirou te; Mile, Adelaide, prineipal danseure, and a host of other stare, who ap pear this evening in a new serio comic ballet, entitled the “Diable Rouge, or the Fairies of the Rhine,” which will, without doubt, prove one of the most attractive pieces eve: prodvecd on any stage. ‘The enterta n- ments laxt evening were got out in a most impo-ing | and attraclive manner. ‘The entirely new seriv-comlc ballet, under direetion of Mr, Schmidt, entitled © Le Diable Rovge,’”’ was pitcones and was enthusiasti- cally received by a highly delighted audience. Mr. Schmidt's personation of Benedetti was admirably sus- tained, and the corps de ballet acquitted themselves with much éc/at. This highly fashionable resort is | nightly crowded to excess, and the attractions present- | ed must insure it the patronage of the élite in the up- | per part of the city. Cuatnam Taeatne.—This popular establishment was | in a state of patriotic ferment, on Tuesday afternoon | | and evening, Crowds-upon crowds kept on pouring | in; every available seat was filled, and long, loud and repeated were the cheers received by the ever popular Mogg.

CastLe Ganpen.—The entertainments at this mag- | nificent and favorite-sammer lounge, were of the highest order last evening. Seldom, if ever, were we \omore agreeably disappointed than on this occasion. The laughable comedictta of the “ Boarding School,” haying been performed by the unrivalled vaudeville | company attached to this establishment, the great Bottesini astonished the audience with his wonderal performances on the double bass in the * Carnival of | Venice.’ in which composition the varied styles of the | grave, the gay, the noble, the ridiculous, the rush of | the dancers, the jests of the lazzaroni, and the humors of the ever sought Polichinel, were 80 eficiently por- | trayed in the language of music, The affecting prayer trom Beilini’s * Norma,” with variations composed by Vieux Temps, was beaut'fa.ly executed by Signor Ard’. | ti on the] oarth string of bis vio ii.
