She is now in her thirteenth day. Her news will be one week late Our Establishment and Hs Improvements. Since Monday of this week the New York Herald has been printed on one of our newly-invented double cylinder presses, which 1s capable, when all the difficulties which first occur in every thing new, are removed, of printing ten thousand copies perhour. This press isthe only one of the kind and size in the world. Smallerpresses onthe same ge- neral principle have been used by some of the cheap penny papers, but the presses which Mr. Hoe has manvfactured and erected in oyr establishment, are the only ones of the kind, eithesin the United States or Europe. There is nothing at all to be compared with ats magnitude, its simplicity and its complete- ness, in either London or Paris; yetin consequence of the novelty of its construction and its newness, we have not yet reached the point off rapidity which we have no doubt of attaining in less than two or three weeks or a month. The first thi: which strikes the general observer in the appear- ance of the sheet is the evenness of the impre: sion, although, from certain causes, which will soon be remedied, there has been some fuitness in theimking. The inking apparatus will, however, work Better in a short time, and the impression given to the paper, and the appearance of the sheet, ‘will be equal to those of any good book-work pub- hshed in this cit; Another slight difficulty to be encountered, was the want of practice among the boys who fill the sheets and take them aw: With the old press the sheets were filled in with the right hand, but with this new rotary four cy- hinder machine, part of the sheets are filled in with the left as well as the mght hand. This sudden change requires a little practice before complete werk can be done. A few weeks will remedy the difficulty. Our establishment, in other respects, has been undergoing revision and re-arrangement, so that fora week or two we may be under some diffi- culty m supplying our, subseribers with the Herald at asearly an hour as we are satisfied we can do it, in a few weeks. Even with the difficulties which are now to be encountered, we can do better than we could under the old system; but when all of those difficulties shall have been remedied, and practice and knowledge of the working of the new presses shall have been acquired by the men and boys engaged in the establishment, we will be ena- bled to serve the Herald from one to two hours earlier every morning than it has been done hitherto. Ancther advantage possessed by these new presses, is the facility which they afford for publishing double sheets, with the same rapidity as we can publish single ones. On particular oc- casions we shall do this—and we] shall astonish the public one of these days. On the whole, we are satisfied with the success which we have already attained under the circum- stances, and we only want our kind patrons to in- dulge us for a short time, till practice shall have made our men and boys a little more perfect} and our whole arrangements shall have been complet- ed. Allthe various improvements will soon be finished. For several weeks our establishment has been in a state of confusion from top to bottom, an consequence of the various improvements which we are making, and this confusion must continue for a few weeks longer, when all will be over. Even in the midst of all these difficulties, our circulation 1s rapidly advancing, and we do not despair of having, in leas than a year, a circu- lation of over thirty thousand per day, and in five years an issue of from eighty to one hundred thousand per day. We can print them, and supply them to the community with perfect facility, when our arrangements shall have been completed. DerAvcaTions UNpER THE PoLK ADMINISTRATION. ‘We have received intimations from Washington, to the effect that the admimistration of Mr. Polk will go out of power with full pockets and full purses ; and some predict that~ defalcations to the amount of two, three and five millions of dollars will be the upshot-of the vast expenditures passing through the hands of its employécs, to carry on the war with Mexico. We should not at all be sur- prised to see something of this kind, after General Taylor’s inauguration, and after time shall have been given to examine the accounts of disburse- ments for the last two years. Who car forget the terrible defalcations which took place during the lest Presidential term of General Jackson, anda portion of Mr. Van Buren’s term’? The office- holders then Juxuriated on the spoils, up to their eyes; and the consequence was, that the public bu- siness was neglected; accurate accounts did not exist, and the defalcations of a few years—and which still remain on the books of the treasury— amounted to nearly three millions of dollars. Now, during the Mexican war, the expenditures have been four umes as great as they were in any simi- lar pertod in the administration of General Jack- son or Mr. Van Buren. Of course defaleation wil increase in the same ratio; and, consequently, af some of the office holders, under the present prous and puritanical administration, should abstract four or five millions of dollars over and above wh ie their due, we ought to be thankfal that the p ple of the United States will have get rid of them with no greater loss. In fact, if the aniount of defalcations and cheatings be not over five mil- lions of dollars, we ought to render a Te Dewm for | the merey, to the Giver of all Good. Denatres in Concress.—The debates in Congress are every day getting more nch and racy, as the Presidential campaign moves along. The various Jeaderg, in both houses, talk about nothing but Gen, Cass, ( Taylor, Mr. Van Buren, and every- thing connected with them. The whole business of the natiou is now mixed wp with personal pc tice, and the speeches in Congress more reseinble newspaper articles than anything else. Reports of these speeches and debates are given in the columns of thisjournal daily, with every degree of accuracy aad fullness. Navar.—TheV. S, sloop-of-war Plymouth, Capt. Gedney, of May, for China. The steam frigate Alleghany, Capt. Hunter, was at Rio Janeiro on the 29th of May. ‘The frigate Brandywine, Commodore Sto- rer, was also at Rio. % wailed trom Rio de Janeiro on the 23th | 0 in New Orleans, and authorised by General Taylor, which the nomination tendered to him by the Philade'- phia Convention, Somie of thope opposed. to General Taylor have been throwing a great deal of doubt over his acceptance, and predicting that he would say nothing onthe subject ;_ thus leaving the matter at loose ends, without furnishing his friends with any indication of what his purposes | might be in the matter. General Taylor, however, has done no such thing. He has accepted his last nomination with the same promptness, and almost in the same style, in which he received the first nomination that was tendred to him about eighteen months ago. The nomination by the recent whig National Convention in Philadelphia, is probably the tenth or twelfth nomination that has been made of him since he was recommend- ed as a proper candidate for the Presidency, by, first, the Newspaper pres—the independent portion of it—and, secondly, by local meetings in various parts of the country, of all parties, democrats, natives, and every thing else. General ‘Taylor, therefore, is the candidate of a portion of all parties into which the people of this country are divided. He 1s the candidate of three or four con- | ventions, of more or less magnitude, and of thirty or forty meetings of whigs, natives, and locotocos, Yet General Taylor 1s not a party man. He will not be a party man. He is above being bound to any particular cliqug of men, although as a public man, and as a statesman, he was more favorable to been denominated whig policy—than to the ultra views of either the whigs, democrats, or natives. Indeed, he occupies the position of an independent statesman more than any other man now before the people for their suflrages. He is peculiarly the candidate of the independent portion of the news- paper press, He was first nominated by the inde. pendent press, and he will probably be supported by the whole of that enlightened part of the press, in the election. We find, too, that the most iatel- ligent and the cheapest kind of that press is coming out for him, and considers his star in the ascend- ant, and his principles nearest to the proper guage, of all others before the country. NEwspaPEns AND THEIR Tone.—The newspapers throughout the country are beginning to get very warm on the subject of the Presidential election. ‘The two great parties have taken their ground, as- sumed their principles, and are now manufacturing their abuses, all in their own way. There is noth- ing more amusing than to observe the folly, the impertinence, the puffery, the abuse, and all th faults and virtues of human nature put together, which are displayed in the columns of the varions journals belonging to all parties. ‘To read one set of articles, a person would believe that General Cass is an angel in parity, and General Taylor a devil in every thing bad and abominable. Read another class of articles, and General Taylor is raised to the seventh heaven, while General Cass is depressed to the nine hundred aud ninety-ninth hell. Now, all this debasement and folly of the news paper press throughout the country, is utterly de- plorable. All the candidates, including Mr. Va Buren, who is a sort of stump, haif-tinted, neut Wilmot provieo, or rather mulatto candidate, are in the same fix. We shall endeavor to give some specimens of the vulgar tone of the mere party journals, in a few days. Prince Lours Nave Prexcn Re: runiic.—A Tumor has been circulated that at th last accounts, Louis Napoleon had declined to ac- cept the seat in the French National Assembly, to which he had been elected by the voters of seve- ral of the election districts of that republic. «This is, to say the least, a very doubtful movement on the part of that ambitious youth. If he has de- clined at all, it is for the purpose of getting on bet- ter. The Prince is ambitious enough, and no doubt he would like to be called to the imperial throne and the empire resuscitated, by any series of revo- lutions, émeutes, or revolts, that might be foment- ed; but he wants all kinds of real talent for public a great deal of trouble; but we do not believe that he will ever be able to re tract the French empire, or remount the ne of his | uncle, in the present age of the world. The dis- | astrous accounts which come to us through the English press of the French republic, ate very | much exaggerated, and on purpose, too. Were the | French to succeed in establishing a permanent re- public in the centre of Europe, it would be death to all the monarchies by which it is surrounded. | ‘There is a perfect union, asecret union, among all | the monarchies and aristocracies of the old world tokeep France in a state of agitation, by encou- | raging all sorts of émeutes and excitements, in | order to disgust the French people with republican | government. The English press particularly, and | the English statesmen, have, for the last fifty | years, been practising and fomenting the same thing in the United States ; but although we have | some noise, and trouble, and excitement, we know | from experience that all these things pass away after the clections, and we doubt not that equal success will attend the French republic. Paswonance Watering Puaces.— fourth of July is past, and gone, with all its squibs and crackers, broken heads and bloody noses, the expenditure of patriotism and pennies, all those who can afford it, will be leaving the heated and over crowded city, and wending their way to the different watering places about the country, to en- joy the eool air, the pleasant shades, 1 other comforts. Some will go to the mountains, and some to the seashore. ‘The mountain air is deli- cious, particularly ap the North River, as far into heaven as the upper end of the Catskill mountains. Saratoga is also very pleasant and agreeable, but it is co much crowded of late years} with the new race of men and women, so different from those of | former times, that those in search of peace and fort, generally go somewhere else. ‘Travelling as far as Niagara Falls is very pleasant and de- lightful. The air of Niagara is the most delicious ‘3 of able from the constant agitation of the that immense freak of nature.

At anearly hour yesterday morming, hundreds of persons assembled in front of the building where the tragic scene oecurred, many of whom. yume | waited the arrival of the coroner, that the facts of the case might be mad known; while others wished to sve the creature, in woman’s shape, who could thas lay a strong man. dead at her jeet. As the morning advanced, the crowd grew more dense; many attract®d they knew not why; some by the crowd, «nd on enquiry received their first intelligence of the fatal event At nine o’elock, the appoiuted time, Coroner Wal- ters made his appearance, when many ran off'to escape his summons to attend the ingnisition, A Jury was scon empanelled, who viewed the body —the crowd without, in the greatest excite ment, pressing towards the stairs leading to the room, many imagining that the supposed murderess was present, Afier the viewlag ef the body by the ‘jury, they retired to the hotel of J. C. Stoneall, in” Fulton street, where the inquisition was to be held. Soon after, an jlicer appeared with the prisoner. She is a wo- man of masculine «ppearance, and apparently about twenty io twenty fiveyears of age. Her clothing was eiaaierably deranged, and a thick veil was drawn over herface. During the whole procee ing she wept, and occas onally a stifled sob would break forth. She wept not as one who was re- pentant, but as one whose heart been torn and lefi bleeding by some fatal casualty. As soon as she made her appearance, all eyes were turned upon her; seme countenances depicting horror, while others put on a sorrowing and sympathetic cast. Aman clad in black, whose general appear- ance denoted that he belonged to that band who seek the salvation of others, stood near the er, and watched the whole proceedings \ greatest interest.

Thirty thousand dollars in gold was deposited in one bank, by an indi vidual who received it im payment for interest on government stock. The interest om the bonds of the State of Illinois is payable at the office of Wadsworth & Sheldon, No. 65 Exchange Place.
