Ub svg The Custom House ana the Barnburners— The Prospect. The barnburuing oflice-holders in the New York Custom House, have not yet been removed, notwithstanding the many applications that have been made to Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Polk on the subject, and the measures that have been adopted by Tammany Hall, and the outside democracy, at their bidding, with thé same view. The knife of the guillotine, however, is poised over their necks, ready at any moment to descend and put them out of pain, as the sword was suspended by a hair over the head of Damocles. The slender thread which holds it, need but be slit, and the heads of one hundred and seventy-five barnburners will roll down the Custom House steps into the money cellars and vaults of Wall street. Thisis horrible, but it is soofien the fate of political hangers-on, that they get used to it, as eels do to being skinned. Fiom all we can learn, these amiable gentle- men may consider themselves safe until about the first of next month. After that day, we would not insure them the receipt of another dollar from the sub-treasury of that establishment, for a pre- mium of ninety per cent. The delay in decap- itating these bambumers, 1s in the highest degree displeasing to the numerous gentlemen who have been impatiently waiting to succeed them. The expectants are out of pockets, and out of elbows. They may be seen hi g around the corners near the Custom House, every day, about lunch ume, and a more pitiable and dejected set of heroes, we have never seen. Come, Mr. Lawrence, hurry up that guillotine, and give them a mouth- ful of Custom House soup. But, presto; we had got so far, when we heard that the tables were turned on the old hunkers, and the frowning displeasure of Mr. Polk would not save these who adhere to the hunker faction of the de- mocracy. Several were atalossto know what would be the result, but now the true state of political preference with the principals of that establish- ment, are either for Mr. Van Buren, or General "Taylor. The work of the dismissal of the old hunkers has begun, as the following letter will a show:— New Yorx, 16th Sept., 1848. “Sin—Your cerviees, under the appointment you have held from me, will not be required after this date. “Your friend, © W. LAWRENCE, Col. “To Mr. John Scott, Custom Houee.” It seems that Mr. Scctt was one of the prominent leaders inthe hunker party, and organized the first Cass and Butler Club in the city; and, it is said tobe through his instrumentality the Collector was call- ed upon to dismiss the barnbarners from the Cas tom House We shall yet lock for some rere sport from this quarter. Mr. Lawrence will most probably, if he does not resign, receive a friendly invitation from Washington, to vacate the office he now holds. It ig also probable that he will dispense the blessing of dismiseal to all under him, who stll hold on to hunkerism. The matter is now © pn. It 18 a very pretty quarrel as it Js. The Presklent removed Mr. Butler, because he was a barnbumer, and Mr. Scott is removed because ef his prefer- ence for hunkerism. Would it not be well for both these gentlemen to canvass the State, and when one throws the sand in the eyes of Mr. Caes, the other vent his spleen upon Mr. Van Buren, upon whose politica! prejudices he was wo uncere moniously ousted from his post Whose turn next? Epucation — Excetuent Scueme.—The ccheme of education that we have ever heard of, ,8 one that has recently been tried, with great suc- cese, in the State of Virgima. It something like, if not Mreality, a joint stock education com- pany, organized by ineans of subscriptions, by a number of gentlemen. Each subscriber, to the number of sixty, contributes the sum of one thau- sand dellars, making, in the aggregate, a fund ef sixty thousand dollars. As « consilieration tor these subscriptions, each member of the eixty en- Joye the privilege of having all his sens thoroughly educated, no matter how many he may have ; and, in cese of his having no sons of his own, he has the privilege of appointing another young man, and the privilege of appointing a successor for twenty years. We are happy to say that the money has been raised; and, thus far, the experument has realized the moet eanguine expectations The advantages of such a scheme of edueation are evident. From sixty subscribers, payimg one thousand dollars each, « sufficient sum is raised tor the education of all their sone, Thus a man, with two sons, or more, can have them all well educated tor one thousand dollars. Under other eystems, the same be could not be enjoyed for five times that amount; and yet the education ean be just as thorough and complete as it is in ous best colleges. This new joint stock educa- tional society is know as Hamden Sidney College capable president has been appointed, and itis expected it will go into operation immediately. ‘This scheme having succeeded so well, and pro- mining the best resulis, why cannot it be tried in the city of New York? We would commend the scheme to the attention of « best | Bisnor Hvenes anv Tre Irish Revovvtion. We are much afraid that the Right Reverend Bishop Hughes, notwithstanding the hght trom Heaven that generally guides hm, has made a | very bad speculation, by investing five hundred doliars in the purchase of a shield for the Irish republic. According to the givings out of his o:~ gan, the Freeman’s Journal, it seems that the Bishop rather backs out from the course that he pursued recently before the Insh Directory, at Vauxhall Garden, and that he complains very much of the false lights held out by Mooney & Co.; hghts, probably, which have led him astray. We have frequently, in the depth of our frend- ship for Bishop Hughes, advised him to stick to his profession ; to avoid politics, and to concern himeelf principally about the saving of souls for | another and a better world. ff he did that, | he would not have made the many political | blunders which he has committed within a few | years past, and of which he can be accused. His piety, eloquence, and tact, would all be brought to | a better market, than by endeavoring to rival the duty politicians of the day, at public meetings, either in Vauxhall or Carroll Hall. Yet there | 18 one thing that we would advise Bishop | Hughes to look into—and that is, the constitution of the Catholic Church in the Umited States. We | believe that this constitution, as it now stands, is | a perfect despotism in the hands of the different | bishops, and that the canon law, which is the com- | mon right of the clergy of the Catholic Church in | every civilized country, is entirely excluded from this free and happy land. Why did he not endea- | vor, while he was on a visit to Rome, to effect a | change in the organization of the Catholic Church | 'n this country, and procure such a system as ex. | ists in Ireland, where the rights of the lowest of the | the Catholic clergy are carefully preserved from | the rapacity or arbitrary purposes of the Episcopal! | branch of the hierarchy? If Bishop Hughes would | endeavor to effect a reform in this particular, he | would accomplish more for the good of the churches and the gloiy of himself in this world, and the sal- vation of his own soul » next, than all the speeches he ever made at Vauahadl or Carroll Hall, | all the subscriptions he ever paid to the directory, | or all the shields that could be fabricated by his subcription. Tne Warenovsina Syste: The principle of warehousing imported goods in public warehouses, where they may remain until the duties are paid, or be withdrawn, from tme to time, at the merchant's | convenience, 1s a new feature in our commercial system, and has only lately been introduced into our city. The tendency of this system undoubt- | edly 1s, to render New York a great entrep t for foreign goods to all markets. Thus, a foreign merchant will send out goods for some market, and, until it can be ascertained which 18 the best, | will, under the action of the warehousing system, deposit them in the public stores of New York. There have been some objections urged against this system, but they do not appear to us of suffi- cient weight to counterbalance the advantages which decidedly belong to it. The greatest ob- jection, we believe, has been that the system has a tendency to encourage speculation, and lead to excessive 1mportations. Be this as it may, 1t 1s evi- dent that, in the nature of things, such an eviy | would very soon be checked by its own action. Con. ceding, then, the argument that the warehousing tem isa greatimprovement in the commercial y of our country, every action tending to fy its advantages, and render its introduction nugatory, is much to be deprecated. We hear, however, many complaints among our merchants generally, of the enormous charges made at the government warehouses, for storage. These charges are, im some cases, said to be so high es to renderit a loss to the merchant to resort to the system. We hope the Secretary of the Treasury, to whose active zeal and strong mind the establishment of the system is, we believe, mainly d will look to the ject, and not per, charges which drive away the merchants from its. general adoption. —We endeavor to be fair and es well as accurate in our election news, and cther political intelligence, but it seems they are net so ecnsidered by a few of the violent party payers. The Pennsylvanian, particularly, finds } fault with the manner in which this department of | cur paper is made up, and says we are “ now trying to show that the result in Maine is discouraging to the demcerats.”” With the exception of a ridiculous report by tele- graph, on Friday, which we gave with a query, and cmitted in cur evening edition, we deny that such an inference can be drawn from our state. ments. When we give returns from democratic | or whig japers, we quote the authority, when deemed of importance. With regard to Maine, our impression has been, from the ccmplexicn of the first returns, that the result of the State election was decidedly favora- ble to the success of the Cass and Butler electoral ticket 1 that State, in November. crion New Bisnor Hugues anp Kinwan.—Kirwan, alias the Rev. Dr. Murray, of Elizabethtown, New Jeisey, pitches into our particular friend, the Right Rey. Bishop Hughes, this week, most unmerci- fully, but we think most unwarrantably. When the controversy between those reverend gentle- amen broke ont, we tcok the bishop under our wing, d avowed our determination of having justice done to him, and thus farwe have kept our pro- mise. The bishop waited for Mr. Murray to ex- pend his battery of eloquence and argument, watching cautiously every stephe took, narrowly scanning every syllable he wrote, and when Dr. Murray had finished, the bishop gradually emerges frega his concealment, takes up:his opponent's let- ters, and, from their contents alone, by his powers as a logician, administers a severe castigation to Mr. Murray, without ever touching the merits of matters on which Mr. Murray labored so hard. He convicted Mr. Murray of being no logician» of beiug positively incapable, and this, too, from his own words, of holding a eontroversy on the subjects of which he treated. Afier this—after | the bishop provinys that all hie opponents, disé chargee were blank cartridges, Mr. Murray rises up, and because the Bishop will not exchange the same kind of emmaniion with him, be cries out wictory. Now this species of tactics will not do; out Srsend the tishop is too much for the doctor; we would recommend the latter, if he wishes the bishop to go into the matter in earnest, to etudy logic for a year or two, and then he may throw dowe the glove with moge grace than he did be- fore, end perhaps the bishop will accept the chal- lenge. i] Latee rnom Brazivs amp La PLata.--Ry wa of Baltimore, we are in receipt of files of Al Corrcio Mercantil to the 3d ult. Senor Sergio Teixeiia de Macedo was appoint- ed I:nvoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten- tiary to the United es, from the Brazils, on the Bist Zuly last. Itis net stated how. soon he would leave for this country. From Montevido, aeceunts had been received at Rio to the 22d July. The Island of Apipé, belong- ing to the Argentwe Republic, and iately possessed by the Corrientes troops, had been taken by forces from Paraguay, and the captors forced all the in- hebitants to leave within three days. The Corri- entes government had sfonned Rosas of this fact, and were awaiting his answer to know how to a ot, Mr. Hood had returned from Buemos Ayres, as the Argentine government had refused to receive him as English Consul General, which was the character in which he went. From Buenos Ayres the accounts are to the 18th July, and eontain nothing positive, Doubloons were selling at 344 paper dollars eech, The Freneh brig-of-war Pan- ceo for Rio om que mit the whole system to be made unavailing by | TER FROM Havana ann Sourn America.—By the arrival of the bark E.

From Chili we have the following :— A law, regulating the carrying trade, had been passed, which would be of material importance to commerce. Goods in future are to be allowed to be warehoused for six months, and also the privi, lege of opening packages, and putting up assort- ments of goods in the Custom House. The exces- sively high duties which were exacted on certain goods, (not specified 1m the article from which we condense,) are to be lowered, and those duties which various home manufactures paid formerly, are to be done away with, and many facilities for the embarkation, discharging, and transportation of goods, are also afforded. These changes were to take place from the Ist of July last. ‘The negotiations relative to the question of the boundaries between Chili and Bolivia, were sus- Interesting from ‘The Discovery of Gold Mines. Caxtrornia, July 1, 1848. My last to you was one month since. In that I gave you facts stonger than fiction, with the intimation that you and your thousands of Herald readers would not believe the statement. Were I s New Yorker, in- stead of a Californian, I would throw aside your paper d exclaim, Bennett had better fill his paper with, at least, probable tales and stories, and not such outrage- ous fictions of rivers, flowing with gold. However, for my own satisfaction, I will fall back upon the fact that the writer knows all he writes to be very nearthe truth, and the many who know his tignature, in particular the officers of the navy, will not doubt his statements of California. Oh! this Californias, to what will it come atlast? Revolution after revolution, for years, have vacated your house: d caused your fields to be de- serted; and now, when we supposed that both houses and fields were occupied by another class of men, men whom nothing could remove—presto, a gold fever arises—strikes © one, and drives every one from his home. This writer, among others, has visited the golden country, this “ Placer,” in comparison to which the famous El Dorado is buta sand bank.

The Senate of Chili had agreed to a bill, which originated with the Executive, by which, in future, that clause in their navigation laws, requiring every one commanding a Chilian veseel to be also a Chilian citizen, 1s repealed. ‘The law authorizing the construction of a rail- road between Santiago and Valparaiso, was under discuesion in the House of Representatives. In the Ecuador, it 1s said that the people are getting tired of the continual fulminations of the Government against General Flores. It is now thought that he has no project against the Repub- lic, but merely wishes to return and reassume his position as President. The Furo Industrial thinks, that altogether too much fuss has been made about Flores ard his plans, and that if the Ecuadorians would just let him come back, as any other citizen would, that no more trouble would be had with him, but this continual outcry against him makes him altogether too important. In Peru difficulties are arising in the southern provinces; ihe vacillaung nature of the govern- ment policy toward these distant provinces seems to be fast alienating them from the home goy- ernment, and it is 10 be feared that ere long they will separate themselves entirely. ‘ In Bolivia aflairs are in an unstable condition ; there was an outbreak against the government in the city of Paz on the 25. Mey, and the general idea among the leading men of that Republic is that but two ways remain to give stability to Bo- livia, and these are :—Ist. To obtain commercial independence, which, by directing the industrious classes towards commercial transactions, will give eceupation to the inhabitants and resources for ning of the necessaries and luxuries of ‘The incorporation of the Republic with u, by which eburse the imbhabitants weuld obtain all those benefits which the Peravi- the one of the party which ad- a Whose favor the place.

The country remained quiet, and markets very dull.

Tue Rervpiic or Guareman. , Hondurae, more recent intelligence has been received from this country, which is now distract- ed by civil war, The dates are to the 15th of | July. From all we can learn, it appears that the | Presidency of Carrera is drawing to a close. The following letter, dated Guatemala, July 15, will give a better view of the state of affairs in the Re- publie: ‘Here the insurrection is proerossing rapidly and as- suming a new feature. which is the separation of the department of Quesaltenango aud its erection into » State, which must either be consummated or create a civil war. The insurgents defeated Carrera, but the timely arrival of an officer with a few soldiers, | raved him, although such is the stute of public opinion, thatitis thought he cannot hold out much longer; the men conceal themrelves in order to avoid being made soldiers. ‘The insurgents have become possessed of Quesaltenango, and the Anticua is only wait- ing the favorable moment to receive them with open arms, and they have the sympathy of all thore who are opposed to arbitrary rule.

Baron Alderson, in the case of Jupe vs. Pratt, (Patent Reports, p 161, thus etates the case: “You cannot take out a patent for # Principle, but you may take out a patent for # princi- coupled with the mode of carrying the prineiple in- to efleet, provided you have not only discovered tho principle, butinven ted some mode of carrying the prin- ciple into effect. if you bave done that, then you ar ene tled to protect youreelf from all modes of earrying the came principle into effect: that being treated by a jury.os piracy.” And the same important doctrine is jaid down by Chhef Justice Lord Tenterden, in case Lewinand another ve.

J had just arrived from Puerto Cabello, at which place I had arrived early on the morning of the 15th ult., but too late to see General Monegas, with whom my visit to Venezuela wag connected; he had set out that morning, at four o'clock, for Caraccas, via Valencia and Victoria, having been in the port since 934 A.M., on the 13th. Prior to his arrival, the municipal authorities decorated with palm leaves, &c., the lintels of the doors and windows of the streets, through which he, in his entrance, was to pass. A German merchant, of highly respectable standing, whose house was of those ornamented for the occa- sion, had the indiscretion to manifest his ill feelings for Gene M. by tearing them down; the conse- quence to him of which was, an arbitrary fine, by order of General M., of one hundred dollars. His re- ception was a cool and indifferent one, as many friends assured me, no persons of any standing attending upon him. The concourse of the people, consisting of the scum, whom, you ure well aware, gather, and are always ready, to grect any and every thiug. What the partizans of the assassin were not able toget up in the way of enthusiasm, they made up for in wasting owder, having, during ‘his stay, kept the cannons usy at the castie San Carlos, and on board the ves- sels, or tubs, of war. When in the reception room, Com. Garcia, of the Capana, who fights (or rather flights) notoriety, went forward with open arms to emirace him; but General M. coldiy repulsed him, refusing the embrace, and remarking, in so doing,“ Luego tendre el gusto de hablar con Vd. tengo que hablarle.”’ Since then, the Commodore looks dejected,and came, on the 19th inst., while J was in Caraccas, to the capital, to obtain his dismission. In this he failed. General Monegas was handed a copy of La Despe- dida of General Paez, which, from this island, had found its way to Puerto Cabello during his stay. and of which I sent you a copy about the 7th July from this, He read it aloud in presence of many persons, ob- serving, at a particular passage of the same, with a smile, Con que soy asisino? bien, seré asisino. His object in visiting the port was to induce Commodore Beluche (# minton of the government, and one of the Lafitte stamp, who was pardoncd for sundry services rendered at the battle of New Orleans, in January 1815) to fit out from that port, with all possible expedi- tion, the squadron belonging to the government then nderthe command of the above named José Maria Garcia. General Monegas left Valencia on the 17th ultimo, accompanied by a body of 1,200 soldiers : but one or two Valencians accompanied him He arrived in Ca- racas on the 2lrt ult., at 5P.M. (where [ had then been forthree dayr, and during which time great efforts were made by the government officers to raise means, jn the way of collections from the inhabitants, to de- corate the streets, &c.; government being withont the trifling funds necessary even for such a purpose, and which resulted in more than half of the poles and cress-pieces, erected for decorations at the corners of ihe streets, remaining naked), ing hurried on from Victoria, He was received by about 600 troops and the officials of government; aud the streets selected selected for his route to the cathedral were those in habited by the poorer clase of people. I was astonished to eee fo little manifestations of joy, and the very few decently clad persons, beyoud those employed by the government. Monegas. os he passed in on horseback, 1 observed, most particularly, looked haggard and dewneast ; and well he might have; as Goneral Paez remarke, iu his despedida, * A tyrant cannot remain quiet and tranquil,” and that “every honest min must be his enemy He is # plain-looking man, with a dull countenance, and cannot long look one in the face; about 5 feet ll inches high. Me was dressed in a dive jecket, white hat, and drill pants; and after leaving the catbedral, where, at the tomb of Bolivar, thanks, &c., were returned, he tock up his son behind him, and returned to lie house, This was, during the whole of my stay in Caracas, guarded by armed men. What accntrast, { thought, did things present to our own capital ! My business in Caracas, was the completion of the role of the stenmer Augusta, initiated into in Caracas with Sener Guzman, the Venezuelian agentthere. I bad an interview on the 19th, at noon, with Vice Pre- sident Urbanga (geting vo tem ag president), and the cabinet, consisting o! Ritaet Acevedo, minister for fo- reign sffeirs and treasury; Col. lrancisco Mejia, of the war and marine, and Ramon Yapes, acting, during the absence of Sanabria, (who had gone only some days be- fore to mect the president for the interior), From that, my fitst interview, I was led to hope favorably as to their compliance with the contracte; but, under va- rious pretexts, delayed from day to day. 1 was at last convinced of theiz inability to meet me according to the terms of th ‘tract, and at the third interview with GenwM., (after his arrival) and the others, the matter dropped. Subsequently, on the 25th ult, a charter party, to traneport troops, munitions of war, &e., &e., was made for one, two, three cr more months, of the said steamer to government, at the rate of four thourand Macoquina dol per month; government obligating itself to furnish fuel at certain points on the const, at the rate of twelve cords of wood for every 24 hours, the contract commenciog from the 13th July, which day the steamer left Curacao to completa the sale, Subsequently, the captain finding his liability to capture and condemnation by the Maracaibs ficet, and also the embarravsed finances of the country de- wanded individual security, in case of loss, &o. Go- yernment declined; and hence the failure for the time Leing, of the contract, which, however, was entered into (by Juan Guiseppi becoming security for the $4,000—the son-in-law of Gen, Monegas—and in whore name the wholo of the property of the latter now stands—he being a son ofan Italian, and bornin the island of Trinidad; claims to be an Englishman—thus ct ay peruse Iwill only otearve, thet there was at the same time with the captain of the “Betsy,” in Caracas, a German captainin the same predicament. Sr. Calcana, who was sent to England to raise alean of $3 000.000 had not obtained a cent to the latest riod. My firm opinion is,tbat General Paes, who,at the it accounts was still at St. Thomas, willcome down here in a few days, bound for Maracaibo, to battle for the cause of constitutional liberty in Venesuela. — Triumph he mustJultimutely ; and. should, otherwise, any thing happen to him, Veneruela will be lost He is the only man that can restore her. When I think of the enthusiastic reception he met with, on arriving from Maracaibo, at C less than years ago, when all Caracas turned out to meet him ; when I think of the marke of esteem he then received from natives and foreigners, and read the vile bulletins of abuse that are now published in Caracas, I do indeed feel for Venezuela, as | desire to our sister republics 5 ‘per, and know that they have great resources within themsetve if they can only keep free of the curse of civil war. ‘Theatrical and Musical, Park Tnratre.—We may date, from to-morrow evening the commencement of the campaign, at this theatre, Owing to disappointment in the arrival og some of the newly engaged members of the company, Mr. Hamblin was compelled te open as best he could. but we find already the expected mombers of the com~ any arriving.

Certaiuly the patrons of the Bowery cannot comblain that they are not well su plied with novelties. Here, before the excitement im favor of one successful piece has begun to flag in the least, another one is aunounced, and so it will be: throvghout the season, as the manager has deter- mined to keep up a contnued succession of new pieces.

Nraro’s, Astor Prack.—There was a good audience at this fashionable place of amusement, last night, and the pieces presented, though light, were perform ed in fine style. The performance commenced with the laughable farce of “Advice Gratis,” in which Mr. Chippendale mort perfectiy personated the character of Oddbody. Mr. Sefton, as Grimes, was received with delight. The name of this gentleman is sufficient to insure ap aitendance, for his comic personations are not to be surpassed. Mrs. Charles sustained, with great effect, the part of Mrs. Evantide, and the con- trary aud seif-willed wife, could not have been more perfectly carried out by one ofthe most perfect of the Miss Kate Horn, as Ellen, appeared a8 nd was received with that great favor it is always her good fortune to meet with.
