The advices received by the America, are of a character both important and exciting. The intelligence of most interest relates to the re- newal of insurrectionary movements in Ireland; but the latest telegraphic accounts given 1n yesterday’s Herald, are of so vague a nature as to leave usin | much doubt whether to regard the rising as mere- Jy of a sectional and agrarian complexion, or as the recommencement of a national revolution, springing from the combined causes of starvation and mistule. It is quite possible it 1s merely a revolt of the peasantry, confined to a certain por- tion of the country, where the influence of British bayonets has not so strong an ascendancy as in other places; but the hot haste with which troops were being moved from one point to another—the evident anxiety thatprevailed, notwithstanding the studied efforts to conceal it, and the incidents alleged, even by the London journals, to have taken place, seem to indicate that the rising is something more than the mere attack of a tumul- tuary body of peasantry on a few police. Two things are said to have taken place, (and the alle- gation is rather confirmed than denied by the @inisterial presses,) that would encourage the hope that there 1s some organized movement afoot. We reter to the destruction of the bridge of Garney to arrest the march of the military, and the capture, by the insurgents, of some pieces of cannon from Curraghmore, the residence of the Marquis of Waterford, after a siege of the premises. There are contradictory rumors as to the presence of Mr. Doheny and Mr. O’Gorman, junior, among the insurgents, and the statements are so vague that it is impessible to arrive at any definite conclusion, Whatever be the real nature of this movement, it is evident that the English journals were terribly alarmed by it; and by some it may be taken as evidence that the afluir has been more serious han those papers are willing to acknowledge» hat after the very farcical issue of the last revolt, they should permit themselves to manifest such obvious alarm. General McDonald, it appears, deemed it necessary to proceed to Clonmel, the scene of the disturbances, with two regiments of infantry. This person, however, from the ridicu- lous display of pusillanimity he exhibited at the capture of Mr. William Smith O’Brien, is one not unlikely to get frightened out of his propriety by the slightest rumors of insurrection, and to let his fears magnify reaping-hooks into pike-heads, and afew starving peasants into an army of blood- thirsty rebels. The next arrival will clear away all doubt, and until then, we shall be somewhat puzzled in what aspect to regard the movement. We are inclinedto the belief, however, that the insurrectionary spirit will continue to manifest itself on every available occasion, and that on the first favorable opportunity, a blow may be struck which will so maim the power of the dominant country in Ireland, that for her own sake she must at length consent to a separation. The Irish papers represent this aflair as of no importance; while, on the other hand, the minis- terial journals seem disposed to magnify it into the commencement of a momentous revolution, This paradox is easily solved, by the fact that ap. prehensions are entertained by the Insh press that every such movement will tend to make the pro- ceedings against Smith O’Brien, and the other prisoners, more severe than they otherwise would be, and the English journals, by alarming the pro- perty-owners, who always compose the Irish ju- ries, wish to secure the conviction of the accused, This will explain the contradictory nature of these accounts. ” In France things remain mostly in statu guo- The star of Cavaignac 1s etill in the ascendant, al- though it is thought the socialists will triumph in the coming elections in Paris. Austria has, not without deep chagrin, accepted the mediation of France and Ungland; and Italy is still convulsed. Charles Albert is preparing for another campaign. The Neapolitans have invaded Sicily with ten or twelve thousand men, and 1t is entirely impossible to foretell what a day may bring forth in those distracted States. Sicily has, it is understood, claimed the interposition of England. ‘The affairs of Germany are at present all con- fused; but it cannot be doubted that the States of that great Emjure will settle down at last into a grand confederated republic, like our own. At first, they have committed the nustake of patching up their syetem, with here and there a bit of mo- narchy and a bit of aristoc rid of every shred of such worn-ovt humbugs be fore they can expect to build up their institutions in accordance with the advancing spirit of the age. Tur Case or Joun 8. Austin. =It will be seen in another column, that the second jury in the case of John 8. Anstin have found a verdict, somewhat unfavorable towards him, in finding that Timothy Shea came to his death by a pistol shot from the hands of John S. Austin, while im a row and fight. Upon conversing with the Coroner, this verdict, we are informed, amounts to nothing more thana case of manslaughter, and possibly, when taken before a grand jury, it will result into a justifiable homicide. It 18 a perfectly bailable case, and Mr. Austin will be liberated from custody to-day. Security to the amount ofe%20,000 stood ready last night to bail him, but the Coroner thought it more prudent to allow the matter to rest until to-day, when the necessary bonds will be entered into. Mr. Austin remains at present very feeble, and confined bed, frem the etivets of the injuries his cy; but they must ge. Tur New Constitution. — Tux Exscrion By tHE Prorte.—Various were the opinions hazarded both previous to and since the new constitution was framed, in regard to the effects it was likely to produce for good or for evil on our social, moral, and political condition. For a year before the session of the convention which formed it, the friends and supporters of the alterations and amendments suggested to be made in the old con- stitatron, brought them before the publie through | the press, and discussed them with considerable force and ability. They attempted to prove, from the increase of population, the extension of com- meree and manufactures, and the varions and complicated relations emanating from those new influences, tegether with the growing intelligence ot the people, that to give them full scope and ef- fect, it became absolutely necessary that the con- templated changes should be made. When the committee appointed by the conven- tion had prepared the draft of the amended consti- tution, the subject was then brought before that body in a more tangible shape, its merits and de- merits were more elaborately and practically dis- cussed, and finally 1t was sent to the people for their approbation ; at their primary election they adopted it, and by that act have affixed to it the seal of their approbation, and so far 1t has worked well. a On the other hand, those who opposed this new order of things, (and they were neither few nor contemptible,) pretended the worst conseqnences from the continous innovations (as they termed them) made on our political institutions—they caught up the old and absolute theory of the mo- narchists of Europe, that popular governments are the parents of faction and intrigue; and hencethey argued, that the bands of society would be loosen- ed, the arm of justice paralyzed, and the whole frame of our State government overturned ; but they should have born in mind, that those changes were merely experimental—that both our State and general governments were experiments, and suc- cessful ones too--and that, by them, the im- portant fact has been fully demonstrated, that an educated and enlightened people, are capa- ble, through their representatives of self go- vermment. We have seen that a republic, in the true sense of that term, has existed here for upwards of seventy years; and during that long period, amidst the whirlwind of faction and party strife, no citizen ever has raised his voice or his arm against it. The alacrity with which Ameni- can citizens ralhed under the standard of their country, during the two last wars in which we were engaged with England and Mexico, and the recklessness and daring with which they all ven- tured, and many of them sacrificed their lives, in maintaining the honor of the country, is pretty strong evidence, if any were wanting, of their de- votion to republican principles, and the value they attach'to a free and enlightened system of govern- ment, On this point the London Times of the 4th inst., in speaking of the new French Constitution, says i— What, however, is more commonly expected from a national constitution is the precise form of govern- ment which is to give and execute laws ina country ; and the ingenvity of all preceding legislators has been employed to frame or preserve the nice balance of se- yerel independent powers, so as to maintain the deli Derative gravity of the Legislature, to avoid the pre- cipitate decision of momento tions by the con- currence of various branches of society, and to invest the executive power with a due amount of authority and dignity. That was the study of the wise founders ofthe great American republic, the only men who e' yet succeeded in concert in such a task; and to the jasting honor of the American people no rash voice has yet been raised to demand alterations in » constitu- tion, which has upon the whole accomplished its prin- cipal objects, and fostered the growth of s prosperous and powerful nation. For all these purposes, however, the new French constitution might be inciuded in one article. In reality,the whole political authority of France is to be vested in one permanent Assembry, compored of 750 me mbers,chosen by universel suf- frage, and exercis.ng in every respect constant and absolute power. This is the whole affair. The Pre- tident is also to be chosen by the direct and universal tufirage of the nation, but he is armed with no prero- tives to control the omnipotence of the Assembly ; & and his actual power is imperceptibly small, except in the exercise of the patronage of the State. We find that, under our form of government, twenty millions of people enjoy a larger share of personal liberty than any other people, ancient or modern, ever before enjoyed—that life and pro- perty 1s more secure; agriculture,commerce,manu- f{actures and wealth, and whatever else conduces to the physical, moral, and intellectual improve- ment of mankind, more widely and generally dif- fused—our people better educated, more intelli- gent, more happy and contented, than any other people, and our government the most stable and secure of any at present in existence. The con- vulsed and chaotic state ot the governments of the old world, when contrasted with the good order, contentment, and happiness that reign amongst ourselves, fully bear us out in what we have said on this subject, and proves the value of our iasti- tutions, and their adaptation to the wants and re- quirements of the people. The oppenents of the new constitution, having such an array of facts and arguments opposed to their views, ought to have paused and at least given it a fair trial before they found fault, or pre- cicted evil. They should have watched its opera- tions; and if they found it did not answer the end for which it was designed, they should have pointed out its defects, and be prepared with a remedy. The constitution that was adopted by this State after the revolution, guaranteed to the people the mght of remodeling and amending it. They have frequently done so; and those who op. posed the present changes, hid abundant opportu- nity of judging of the results former alterations had produced on the commonwealth; they, therefore, ought to have shown what these results were, how they operated, and where the danger lay. If they could not do that, and it was pretty clear they could not, then it was incumbent on them to slrow that the present are different from the former, end peculiarly open to censure. It was said, however, and it was the only objec- tion that had any substance in it, that throwing the election of judges into the hands of the people» and shortening the term of office, would endanger their independence, because the people were not competent to judge of the qualifications of men aspiring to those high offices; that men of eminence in their profession would not seek or accept of judicial situations; and that those only of an infe~ rior grade, who had mixed themeelves up in poli” tics, and would be likely to yield to passion and party prejudices, could have any chance of being elected. The short answer to those objections is this—previous to the late changes the people elected the governor, (as they do now,) and the governor appointed the judges out of the majority, that elect* ed him. Where, then, is the difference? After all, the people are the source of power, and gover- nors and rulers are only the conduits through which it is distributed ; but, independently of this, our system of education is so perfect, and its bless- ings so generally diffused through the State, thatthe intelligence and virtue of the people are sufficient guaranties that, in the exercise of the privileges conferred on them by the constitution, they wil] select no men for the judiciary but those who have their confidence and esteem. That they have done so we need only refer to the last election for udges, by which it appears that in the first dis- trict all the old judges, (with two additional ones, rendered necessary by the late changes,) were elected ; the result of that election 18 a compli- ment not only to those judges, but to the people themselves, because it proves conclusively that the Jatter, through the blessings conferred on therm by an enlighted and liberal education, are fully com- petent to the honest and faithful performance of their electoral duties, and that the former, by a long course of honorable and upright conduct in the disebarge of their judicial functions, have eecured for themselves the esteem and approbation of their constituents, Jdstices Hurlbut and [d- wards are the two new judges, and we believe the public, generally, will bear testimony to their | The Coroner's Jury, in the Leonard Street high standing and moral worth. Upon the whole, we think the last amendment in the constitution were required, to keep pace with progress and the spirit of the age, and that they will work well. In details there may be, and. doubtless are, defects; but when they are practi- cally understood, there 18 a power vested either in the judiciary or in the legislature, or perhaps in both, to neutralize the evil, or apply a direct remedy. ‘Theatrical and Musical. Panx Tueatre.—There was a good audience at this magnificent theatre, last night, to witness the first ap- pearance of Mr.andMrs. Gilbert The célebrated come- dy of ‘The Rivals” was performed, in which Mr. Gilbert appeared as Sir Anthony Absolute, and really the cha~ racter was sustained in admirable style, especially in that roeme where his rage isso excited against the want of obedience on the part of his son, Captain Absolute, (Mr. Dawson.) in refusing a wife of his father’s cheice, In every line the character was perfectly sustained, and elicited the warmest applause. Mrs. Gilbert, as Mrs. Malaprop, most perfectly personated the egotistic and tyrannical aunt, who laid prostrate e thing like good language, She is admirably adapted to the character, and fully sustai: the great celebrity which it has been her fortune most ome to enjoy, They were both, on their first appearance, loudly wel- comed, and throughout the piece were constantly applauded. Mr. Chapman das Acres, and performed the part of t oo allant in his Usual unsurpasted style; and in the act of the contemplated, duel showed all the ‘ear and ter- ror which the character comprises. Miss Rose ‘Telbin sustained the character of Lydia Languish, and was warmly received. The piece went off with great applaure, plainly showing the appreciation, on the part of the audience, of the merits of Mr. and Mra. Gilbert, and the others engaged in the performance ofthe piece. The entertainment concluded with the laughable tarce of “Turning the Tables.’ On Mon- day evening the Monplaisir troupe will re- in the magnificent ballet of “Esmeralda,” which is suffl- cient in itself to fill the house to overflowing. The energetic proprietor, Mr. Hamblin, is determined that the Park shall not be surpassed by any theatre; and from the present attractions offered, which will be fol- lowed by the best talent that can be produced, there ig no doubt but it will still be the Park Theatre, the character of which, for magnificence. and beauty of entertainment, is known throughout the theatrical world. If you wish to be delighted, go to the Park. Bowery Tneatre.—Mr. Hamblin appeared as Mac” beth, last evening, This is one of his favorite parts we believe, and he enacted it finely. We have frequently noticed his performance of the Thane, and now have only to add that his conception of the part is strictly in accordance with the ideas of all the best commen- tators on Shakespeare. The tragedy was well got up. Mrs. Winstanley’s Lady Macbeth, was a most ex- cellent piece of acting, and the mus'cal portion of the play was well done. Miss Mary Taylor, as Hecate, ap- peared to much advantage. The new ballet concluded the evening’s performance. Signora Ciocca has be- come an immenrefavorite with the public, and her ap- pearance is nightly the signal for great applause, su ported as she is by Signor Neri, and Mr. G. W. Smith, two of the most graceful dancers on the stege. The ballets in which they appear, are produced under pe- culiarly advantageous eircumstances, and that class of amusements is thus brought out at the Bowery with all the éclat pessible. During the coming week the en- tertainments will be peculiarly interesting, as that splendid composition of pre ashes “corolanus,” is to be played, Mr, Hamblin taking the principal part. es ballet attractions will likewise be of the highest order. Broapway Tuxarne.—Mr. Collins appeared last night, on the occasion of his benefit, in three of his favorite and most admired parts. His Patrick O’Pleni- po, alone, is sufficient to fill ahouse. Indeed, if we were to institute a comparison between the different parts Mr. Collins undertakes, we should be obliged in strict justice toaward him more merit in such parts as Sir Patrick and the Irish Attorney, than in “ Teddy the Tiler,” and “Paddy Rooney,” and yet bis erty in “Born to Good Luck,” is one of his best parts, and with his -‘ Teddy Malowney,”’ we can find no posi- tive fault. His songs are pet xcellent, and in this particular, he surpasses all Irish comedians we have ever teen. His voice is rich, mellow, and weil cultiva- ted, and he gives his Irish songs with a hearty raci- ness, which elicits the warmert applause, Several no- velties will be produced hext week, among them, “ Rory O’More,” “King O'Neil,” the “Soldier of Fortune,” and several others, NatioxaL Turatre.—We were not surprised at find. ing a fullhouse here last evening, as there is never any thing else at the National now-a-days ; a slimly attended house, iniced, is a thing which has never been seen here since Chanfrau took the helm. The interesting drama of “Therese” wae the first piece, Mr. Chanfrau taking the part of Carwin. Mr. C., by his performance of this and many other parts, proves con- cluslvely that his talents as an actor are not merely confined to the enacting of Mose, though he perfornis so admirably in this famous part that it is somewhat difficult to imagine that he can 60 entirely divest him- self of all the attributes of the b’hoy, as he really doe: when playing other parts; and herein consists much of the excellence of his Mose. It is so naturally done that one forgets that it is merely the actor's art, and not the true Mose, on the stage. But to see Chanfrau as Carwin, Don Cwsar de Bazan, the Golden Farmer, and other ee which he occasionally takes, dispels the idea of his being only able to act in on frequent.y appear on his stage in those parts which he can so well play; and as for Mose, there is no Crew out cf that—the public will never cease being del ighted with his acting of it. The “Mysteries and Miseries” went off with the usual éclat, and also the remainder of the performance. Several novelties will be produced next week. Niow Astor Prack.—The “ Comedy of Errors’ was played here Jast night, to a crowded and fashion- able audience. Mr. H. Placide and Mr. T. Placide personated the two Dromo’s, and it is un necessary to say that this laughable piece was received with great applause. The house was kept ina continued roar of laughter from the laughable and inextricable difficul- ties arising from the one being taken for the other. The rcspective parts were very creditably performed, and evinced great jud, 't and accurate perception of the characters in this piece, The subordinate parts were played with considerable talent, and the whole piece went off in @ most brilliant style. The piece of ** Used Up’? followed, in which Miss Dickinson acquit- ted herself to the complete catisfaction of the audience. ‘The splendid array of talent at this house, with its excellent and varied performances presented, have made it the most fashionable resort of the beauty and fashion of the city; and the past exertions of the enterprising proprietor are only a foreshadowing of the euccestful future which Mr Niblo is certain to secure for thie place of entertainment, Burton’s Tueatre, Cuampens Str: Dombey and Son” and “ Poor Pillicoddy,”’ a drama and a farce, each of unequalled excellence in their kind, and un- surpassed for beauty and effect, were, last night, ren- dered the source of indescribable delight and reiterated roars of lavghter to a crowded house, by the inimitable acting, the extraordinary comic powere, and the won- derful versatility of phiz of the incomparable Burton. To-morrow evening, Captain Cuttle will re-appear in a new piece—“ The Capture of Captain Cuttle.”” To see this favorite of the town crowds, no doubt, will rush to Burton's incomparable theatre. Genman Baxp.—We have been informed of the ar- rival of a new and accomplished musical band from Germany, under the leadership of Herr Carl Senschow. Of the skill and talents of this band there can be no doubt. They are attested to by our minister at Ber- lin, the Hon. A. J. Donelson, who pronounces the band to deserve, in a sh degree. the respect and patronage of the public. Mr. Bancroft, our minister atthe court of St. James, also joins in the same re- commendation. There are indeed high and fiattering introductions to the connoisseurs of the new world ; but the best is to come yet—the sure test of their ex- cellence and fame is teed by the simgle fact that Niblo, the hero of excellent selections, the dis- coverer of whatever is nie for the stage and beauti- ful for the theatre—Niblo has engaged the band! What more is wanting to assure the public that, as Niblo only looks out for the best, the grandest, and most excellent in ile fred p we are about to hear the best, the grandest, and most excellent of bands’ Mavaice Straxoscu.—This eminent artist has lately published 1 beautiful pieces of music; among them is s reverie, called “The Magic Bell,” whioh is considered an excellent composition.

Messns. Mranten: ano Levassxun’s philosophical entertainments are all the fashion, and we are not surprised at it, for « more interesting and instructl exhibition has seldom been nted in New Yor! The New Room, where they exhibit, is most el tly be fitted up, and parties visiting it now cannot pleated with both the entertainments and the house. Camp: ’s Minstarxs continue their very success- ful career at the Society Library. ‘They have created & perfect furore in their favor during their present series of and asthey troduced & num- ber of new songs, and have mot nd, and as their band has been Jately reinforced by some most excel- lent performers, there is every prorpect of their con- tinuing their triumwphant career fora long time to come.

WALTER ADAMS. ‘Wittiam Avams, Alderman of the Fifth Ward, being ys:—On Thursday evening I was sent for, and told to come to the station house, that there was man shot; on coming to the station house I stopped Mr. Shea’s, and told the police to take charg. orthe noone to passin or out; | then went front of the fire-place, leceased was lying on a pillow; the body had been moved; I then took a candle and examined about the premises to see if I could find the pistol; I then told the men to ex- amine outside in the street; while I was examinin, remises one of the officers came in an d found the pistol; | then came tothe tation house, and went to Mr. Smith, who was one of the prisoners, and t him that [ wanted to search him; I found nothing on him, no weapons; I then told Mr. Austin that I wanted to speak to him. I searched Mr Austin and found a pocket-book, pen- knife and pencilcase. [then put my hand in his out- side coat pocket, and took out a stone. I then told him to be quiet; there was a doctor fdresring his wounds. The stone shown is the stone taken from his pocket. I then went back to Shi house ; the old man, Shea, told me that there had been two diseh: from a pistol, I took a candle and looked around wall to see if I could see any marks of the balls around the room, but could not overany. | thed asked the old gentleman if he could identify the persons that had been in his house. He said hecould. I then told Shea to come along with me to the station house, and took him into the back room. He wrung his hands and said, Alderman, that is the man, pointing to Mr. Austin, Dr. Kennedyand Mr. Smith were in the room. I then went back to the house, and soon returned to the station hcuse. Austin asked me what was the charge against him. After saying to Nc beer Rynder that Avstin could not be bailed, I told Austin that the charge was murder, and told him that I did not want to hear any thing about the matter, but for him to get his counsel. I examined the pistol; two bar- rels had been discharged. The stock and barrel of the pistol were bloody. Four barrels were still loaded.

Burvao, Sept. 30, 1848. ‘The supposed loss of the steam propeller Goliah onLake Huron, hence from the upper lakes, 1s beheved here to be tully confirmed. Remnants of a wreck, having semblance to the Goliah, have been discovered on the Canadian shore of Lake Huron; and the belief universally prevails that the vessel took fire, and, there being a large quan- tity of gunpowder on board, the destruction of the vessel must have been completed by the explosion of the powder. The charred wreck of a large propeller was dri- ven ashore at Pine Point, above Goodrich, Canada West, on Wednesday last, Sept. 27. A yawl boat also came on shore, but it was not at all burned, while many of the wooden hoops by which the sails are run up and down, appeared to have been cut with an axe. Three hundred barrels of flour, with an immenee quantity of candles in boxes, and boxes of raisins ; kegs of blasting powder, packed in oats; together with many other articles of mer- chandize, all bearing the evidenc:s of having been shipped on board the Goliah, were also picked up along the shore. Many of the packages were di. rected to the Saut St. Mane, and the Meden Mi- ning Company. The timbers of the wreck that came ashore, had the appearance of having been torn asunder. As yet no human bodies have been found, and it 1s supposed that all on board perished. Great Fire at Galena, Dlinot of Property. Garena (Ill.), Sept. 28, 1848. A destructive fire broke out here yesterday, which, before it could be got under, destroyed a whole block of dwellings, stores, \&c., bounded by Washington, Main, and Beach streets. The loss is stated to be very great. The origin of the fire has not been clearly ascertained. The Cotton Crops Tuscumsia, Ala., Sept. 23, 1848. There 1s fifteen inches water on Colbert’s shoal— reported rise of two feet above Decatur. Weather cool and dry—tavorable to the cotton crop. Extension of the Telegraph. WHEELING, Sept. 28, 1848. Another link of the Western telegraph has been extended, and communications are now being sent and received between Baltimore anu Wheeling direct. The first impulses were received here to- day from Baltuamore. We have no general news of moment to communicate. The weather 13 pleasamt, but rain is much wanted, and the river is rather low.

M., and putin quar- antine, because she did not briug a bill of health from Savannah. However, she will sail this evening for New Orleans, and her passengers are at Mr. Bellot’s Hospital for seven days. Captains of sailing vessels, or steamers, ought to be very careful with their bills of health, from the last place which they have left. Nothing new for the present. : Ihave seen in the Herald of the 26th ult., that the Crescent City had arrived here on the 19th of August; and left for New York on the same day. Jtis a great mistake. She arrived on the 18th, left on the 18th. I see in the Ceptain’s report from New Orleans to this place, that he had left enthe 15th, at 4 P. M., giving the distance ran every 24 hours, of the 16th, 18th, and 19th, and not of the 17th, that is where the mistake 1s. Accord- ivg to that log, the Crescent City would have made her passage from here to New York in four days— which is not so. She left here on the 18th, and arnved at New York on the 23d--five days pas- sage. Several vessels have arrived here dismasted. The bark Lynda, which left Philadelphia 22 days ago, has not yet arnved. We feel very un- easy about her. From Havana.—By the arrival here, yester- day, of the steamer Falcon, we have received the Faro Industrial to the 16th instant. On the 12th instant, the Captain General, Count Alcoy, issued a decree, reducing the government dues on horned cattle. ‘The Faro states that it will produce a greatly beneficial effect on the whole population, y encouraging the raising of stock, and chea) ing very materially the price of an important ar- tele of food.—N. O. Delta, Sept. 21. InrenticENce FRom Sr. Vincents.—Captain Nelmes, of the brig Transit, arrived at this port on Saturday afternoon, from St. Vincents, 15th Sept., informs us that the crops were progressing, and expected to be fair. The planters were complain- ing of a want of laborers. Laborers were emi- rating in consequence of the low wages. There fed been atetal failure of the yam and plantain crop. Bonds had been given for all the W.I. Bank outstandings, and itis hoped that a little time will bring its affairs to a more satisfactory settlement than was at first anticipated. The Co- Jomal Bank having now the entire banking busi- ness of the colony, is supposed, with good reason, to be doing a sound and profitable bu ness. There is a good demand for horses of all kinds, particu- larly good roadsters. From Mextco.—By an arrival here, yoasraky, from Vera Cruz, we have received El Monitor Republrcano, from the city of Mexico, to the 22d ult., inclusive, just two days Jater intelligence shan that last received and published by us. These papers contain little new or interesting. Profound tranquillity reigns throughout the republic, with the exception of the Sierra, in the department of San Luis Potosi, where the Indians are disaf- fected. The Governor of the latter finds it diffi- cult to procure funds to pay the troops on foot to extinguish the trouble in the mountains. Paredes is stated to be among them. The Governor of Durango has made a requisition on the Supreme Government, tera portion of the standing army, to yey the frontier against the incursions of the wild Indians. Not a word do these papers contain about the reported formidable preparations of the buffalo hunters, for the invasion and dismember- ment of Mexico.— New Orleans Delta, Sept. 21, Later rrom Jamaica.—By the arrival of the schooner Planet, Capt. Daly, we have received Kingston papers to the 16th ult. The only matter of interest is a difficulty which has arisen between the Governor, Sir Charles Grey, and the Assem- bly. The former had accused the white popula- tion of harboring a wish to reinstate slavery in the Island. T! stnanly Gonted by the House. ‘That body has likewise published a resolution de- elaring the inability of the colony to raise the cus- tomary amount for the year 1849, and their deter- mination to raise no supplies beyond the provision forthe public debt, unless enabled to make ade- quate retrenchment im the expenditure of the Island. The district of St. Mary’s was in a disturbed state, a pertion of the Kiigston police and a com- pany of the 2nd West India regiment having been ordered thither to preserve the peace.--N. Orleans Commercual, Sept. 21. Navat.—The United States frigate, St. Law- tence, Captain Paulding, ten days from Norfolk, for Cowes and the Mediterranean, was spoken on the 18th inst, lat. 44.11, lon. 51 40. Srramsnir Wasnixaron, hence 20th instant, for Southampton, was passed on the 23d, latitude 43, longitude 59. COMTINUATION LESLIE COMBS’ STUMP SPEECH. HIS OPINION or THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES, It will be recollected that General Coombs was compelled, by indixposition, to stop in the middle ot his stump epeech at the whig ral ion meet- ing, at Vauxhall Garden, on Wednesday eve) last, and deter finishing 1 to another time, Havii fully recovered, it was announced that he wi deliver the remaining’ instalment at the same place, which he did, last night, to an audience not quite so large as heard him on the former occasion, but yet of respectable size. FeLow-Citizens, he suid, instead of being disap- inted in not sewing so lurge @ crowd here as [ saw & evenings since, | am gratified that only a few have met here this evening, because | shall hope to be heard. by all present, which | could not hope for or expect om the other cecasion | came bere the other eveni: after laboring for two or three weeks, aad being treated yery much asin Kentucky we treat borrowed horses, “rode bard, and fed light.” [Laughter] When the committee did me the bouor to send for me, | was im bed, tired and exbaurted; butit was represented that my name was placed in the newspapers, as one of the speakers that would addrevs you, and that | was ex- cted to speak, dead or ulive (Laughter) And, fel- low- citizens, under that state of the case, | came be- fore you. I thought, when | came and saw so ki ry crowd, that that alone would be sufficient inepiration, yet, before | had proceeded tar, I felt myself incapable to do justice to myself, or to the subjects which Lin- tended to present to your cunsideration. Before proceeding to what I intend to say to you this ening, ict me make » fow remarks in referdues some thinge which | mentioned the other evening. And first, | alluded to some whigs by name. 1 don’t know that it is customary to do so here Three of them, Mr. Botts Mr. Camail, and Mr, Tomlingon. 2nd amore spliant trio 1 vever expect to sev im the cause ia which we are engag d. in mention: og these pames, theréfore, in pubic, it is but due to make these remarks, Aud | spoke of my old friead Hi too.

The god was in him, and | knew it would come out, (laughter;) anil ne did, (sughter.) He wields« potent quill and great influ: ence over the community. | think it will help us im Ohio—this is confidential. (laughter.) I passed through Ohio twice, recently, and every day the skies there get brighter and brighter. On the subject—the Taylor jlank—on which Mc. Van Buren has planteu himeelf, intend to speak to-night. I intend to unlved the barnburners gun, or wet his powder, as certain as [ live, I hull take up that question first, and then pro- ceed to other matters; butif you get tired and won't listen to me, then tbe other watters must be dispensed: with. In reference to the question of free soil, | differ with John € Calhoun, aud coincide with Mr. Stevens, and other distinguished gentiewen who think aa I do, that liberty is a natural right, and that slavery is one of legal coercion, (wpplause;) aud that where elavery exists it does not require law to keep it there, but it re- quires law to take it where it does not exist. Mr. Cal- houn, I think, hus been wrong on two or three great uestions. He entertains an idea which we out West lo not coincide with. His idea is, that the river Missi-sippi is an inland sea. Now we all know It has been a river since God that this isa mistake. started it among the Rocky Mountains, and has always Tun one way, unless when its waters get into the side lines, a then they sometimes run up stream. (Laugbter.) Again, his idea that no man is ereated— ‘that all men are born equal, be says is preposterous, for only cbildren are born; that tuere never was but one man that was born, and his name was Adam, an old fellow who died some time age. (Laughter) Now, these positions laid down by Mr. Caihoun | con't con- curin. Another is, ti at a man living in South Caro- lina can do what » turtle evidently has the right to do, and that isto carry bis sheil with him, aud travel with it on his back wherever he gows—thut he has the tight to travel with the sheli of slavery on his back. from his State of South Carolina into our new terri- tory. Now, that idea is preposterous. If he can take South Carolina law with him there, you may take your law there too, and Rhode Island aud Delaware cam carry their shells there, und then there woutd be @ lot of Jaws there, and whet a pretty state of things there would be there. tobe sure (Applause.) I now come back to the proposition with which [ started, and that is, that liberty is a natural right. and that ala isa legal coercion. Now, fellow-citizens, on this subject, the free soil question, I think there can be no difficulty: among whigs. (Applause) | am gratified to know that the locofocos are divided upon it—that is all right. (Applause) I don’t care how many of them go for Van Buren, except that 1 do not wish bim to get more than one-half, and that would make it a fair fight between him and Cass. Weill, on this subject, 1 will tell you that I bad the pleasure of being at the Utica Convention ofthe baraburoers. lintended togo tothe whig convention there, and was on my way, I was asked whether | was going to the junction convention of the abolitionists and barnburners—(lnughter)—and I ar- rived just in time to see the closing senes. Il never forget them. he first speaker] heard was good looking, fat, rotund, rosy looking man; from this city—I forget his uame—who got up and ground out what we term in the west a regular built fourth-of-July- star-splangled-banner-ti tbat-tried-men-souls-Jef- ferson-und-liberty-epech—-(great laughter) making (Laughter.) The ntiments was named Nye, and the convention suid to him “Come Nye to us.’? He was not a member of the convention, but they took a vote and elected him. When he finished, an old liberty man in the crowd could not contain himself any longer So he got up and announced himeeif as brother Abel Orville, or Owen, or some name of that kind. Youcan find it by referring to the pub- lished proceedings of the convention. And he ssid “ Brethren, | am a perfectionist minister of the gospel, - and baze been all my life warring against slavery; at 1 do feel to-night, by the joining of there conventions. that a union of the saints has taken place in Ohio.’> (Much Jaughter.) Well, it struck me as a very curious convention. He further stated that he hoped to see the time when a great fence would be built around the slave States, into which all those who sympathised with slavery would be driven, and then that fire and brimstone would be thrown in, and the whole batch burned up. (Laughter) And I thought to myself, if my friend, Mr. Van Buren, entertained the same prin- ciples that he did a few years ago, he would be one of those who would be driven inside of the fence, and then he would have a right to say truly “our sufferings is intolerable.” (Tremendous cheer- ing.) Fellow citizens, new to be serious, On this slavery question, I have given you my opinion. We don’t claim anything beyond the constitution. We like to know you in the North as brethren and friends, and to treat you as such—even as far as little Maine. God blesa her, whom we were ready to “ght for, when Jobn Bull threatened to take away rome of her tall trees, without Soret 3 them and without payi: for them. Old Kentucky was ready to send a lot her sons to Maine on that occasion. While | say th therefore, I shall aad our friends the abolitionists, they come to us with kindness and love, we will reeeive thein in kindness; but if ever they come there to break the constitution, toshed the blood of our wives and children, to stir up a servile war, when they come im this wey, and knock at our doors, they will find us at he "We hope the glorious Union of these glorious will continue; and it will be so, if they treat us ..

You recoll Mr. Van Buren’s letter came about t! that they were both opposed to the annexation of Texas. You recollect, too, when the battle of Texas = off, im Kentucky, South Caroli: Delawai je N la, and other Southern States, we backed tl in fighting for the rights of the North against: the annexation of Texas, in violation of the constitu- tion. and when the time of trial came, Mr..Van Burer and his friends left us in the ditch. He disagreed with Mr. Polk and agreed with Mr. Clay; but whem the proper time came he fought against Mr. Clay and with Mr Polk, (Applause) | thought this much due to Mr. Van Buren. | administered on the goods and chattels of Gen Cass, the other evening, and proved, I believe that he was politically insolvent.

(Laughter.), 1 dont mean to deal the private cha- racters of men, and I wont, but I think that tbe pubiio acts of men who stand in the position which they occupy. are legitimately subjects of animadversion. Having thus given rome reasons why I think the whi cant go for Mr. Van Buren, allow me to do what is much more pleasant to me, and that is to speak of am old friend, whore acquaintance | formed som: thirty years ago, I mean General Zachary Taylor, Eve cheers for Zachary T'sylor—Hurrah, hurrah, hi yy This very night, in another part of this city, bandon stand that who’ {s to due to the individua:, wad senee of justice and gratitude, is about taking place.
