On the Rubicon, We are now upon the edge of the election. In a few days both the political armies must approach the shores of the Rubicon. Every body is specu- Jating upon the result, and endeavoring to give an impulse to his own particular pred‘lections and purposes. The journalists and orators belonging to all the parties are busy making their calcula- tions from the results of the previous State elec- tions. The free soilers even indulge in brilliant anticipations of a first victory in this State. The democrats calculate, as a certainty, upon the suc. cess of General Cass. The whigs and independents are equally confident of General Taylor’s triumph. In the midst of so much confusion of arithmetic and sent:ment, of figures and fury, of calculations and cunning, a mind not acquainted with the game would place dependence upon each political party in succession. General Cass is undoubtedly an eminent man, a sound patriot, a comprehensive statesman, and honorable in every point of view, whatever those opposed to him may say to the contrary. Yet we doubt very much whether be can be elected, in the confusion of the old elements, and the probable character of the new, which will be brought into the present conflict. One week from to-morrow the people of the United States will vote. On that day, probably half a million more votes will come into the field than have appeared at any previous State or general election. There is a vast amount of new elements belonging to the rising genera. tion which hgve been coming into political power during the last four years. The result of the contest will depend much upon the tendencies and feelings of this large mass of fresh voters, comprised chiefly of young men and naturalized citizens. Amid such a mass General Cass may be popular ; but we believe the peculiar character and history of General Taylor will make him still more pepular, and hence, according to ordinary calculations, a considerable majority of the new | voting population will take the side of General Taylor. This tendency towards General Taylor, among such « class of voters, will not spring from historical recollections accompanying the whig party; indeed, it must be otherwise. General ‘Taylor has more strength than the whig party; and if he 1s elected, it will be his personal popu- Janty, and the belief entertained of his high cha- racter, which will give him the victory. Another thing which inclines am unprejudiced #pectator to believe that General Taylor will suc- ceed in this great contest, 18 the strange spectacle exhibited by the administration and its jour- nalists in their treatment of the career, character, and pretensions of General Taylor. ‘The columns of abuse, misrepresentation, false- hood, and seurrility,which the Washington Union pours upon the simple and majestic character of General Taylor, will be a powerful weapon in his favor, and lend a very considerable degree of disgust tothe new voters in their estimate of a party making such attacks, in spite of the high character of General Cass, on whose behalf they are made. Day after day the organ of the adminis- tration, and its sub-organs in the States, have poured out the most unmerited, most indecent and beastly abuse upon the head of the hero of Buena Vista. A similar description of tactics aided greatly in the elevation of General Jackson; and the like assertions and abuse operated with great force in bringing about the election of General Harnson. General Jackson, General Harrison, and General Taylor have all been benefactors to their country—patriots and high-principled Ame- ricans. The people of this country will never sup- port any party, actively and energetically, which distinguishes itself by defaming its heroes and decrying the virtues of those who have been the instruments of the power and progress of the re- public. We have every reason to believe, therefore, that in Pennsylvania and the West, and other States, the terrible tide of abuse which has been poured upon General Taylor by the journalists and orators opposed to him—in the teeth, too, of their praise and approbation of him only two years ago——we are convinced, we say, that this system of warfare will bring out vast portions of the generous and enthusiastic, among the new voters, 1m support of General Taylor. A week will tell if we are nght: Thus far, the only element mingling in this elec” tion which looks ominous to General Taylor, may be discovered in the want of wisdom and tact among the whigs themselves, as displayed by the journalists and orators of the whig party, which has been too often under the influence of narrow- minded and selfish leaders, denying all sympathy with the great spirit and purpose of the age, con- fracting their views of national affairs to the ad- vantages of sects, cliques, politicians, manufac- turere,and speculators, During the receut cam- paign, many of these great leaders, in professing to advocate the claims of Gen.Taylor, have, by the ex” hibition of their discontent at his nomination, per- petrated great injury to his cause, endangered his success, and brought a certain degree of coolness into the minds of those who otherwise were in his favor. Nothing but the spirit, the movements, and the enthusiasm of the masses, as manifested during the last few months, could have corrected this fatal mistake of the whig leaders and journal- ists. Whatamount of damage the speeches and editovials of many of these leaders may have pro- duced, in the South and West, we have yet to learn, But, if Gen. Taylor, in the midst of the great demonstrations manifested in his favor, should loge this election, that result would be owing, in a great measure, to the folly, the ob- etunacy, the narrow-mindedness, exclusiveness, and want of practicability in the whig leaders and journaliets of the Middle and Northern States, Conisrency.—Abuse of nativism has long been a part of the Tyrbwne's political capital--he has, in every form that the English language admits of, held it up to ridicule, and the contempt of the Ame- rican people ; and if we recollect rightly, he mad® the Courter the special object of his attacks when that paper came out in support of the native Ame. rican party. After the defeat of the whigs in 1844, he charged them with treachery to the whig | cause, attributed their defeat to their junction with the natives, and for months after, his paper teemed with the most violent abuse of both par” ties. Thisis all very well after an election, and in strict keeping with the tactics of the Tribune ; but on the eve of a Presidential election, when votes are to be caught, our cotemporary plays a very different tune on his fiddle—expediency and availability are now his polar stars—the abolition- ist, the pro-slavery man, the barnburner, the na- tivist, and all grades of political heretics, are wel- come to take shelter under his patriotic mantle’ provided, only, that he can catch their votes and secure the election of a candidate, (although a na- tive,) to vote in Congress or the State Legislature, with the whig party. The following paragraph, which appeared in the Tribune of Saturday, will illustrate our opinion of the consistency of that journal, and its zeal for citizens of foreign birth:— “Founrn Assemniy District —By reference to an advertisement in another column. it will be seen that the whigs of the 5th ward met at the Marion House last “evening, and nominated Alderman Elias G. Drake for ssembly. We piesume this nomin: tion will prove satisfactory, and procure a whig repre. sentative for the niet.” Now, Alderman Drake may be, and, for aught we know, is, a very respectable man, and will, perhaps, make an excellent representative, 1t elect- ed; but we do know, and so does the Tribune, that in 1843 he was elected, on the native ticket, an alderman (we think) of the Fifth ward—that during his year of office, he was one of the most ultra of that party in the Board; and, as such, came in fora share of the abuse poured out on them, daily, in the columns of the Trebune. That Mr. Drake holds precisely the same opinions now, in regard to foreigners, that he did then, we have every reason to believe ; yet the Tribune comes out in an article, on Saturday last, in which this gentleman’s name appears in large capitals, re- commending him to the electors of the Fourth Aesembly district, as their candidate, hoping that his nomination may prove successful, and procure for the district a good whig representative. Here, then, we have the Fourierite, after the election of 1844, denouncing the nattves for their hostility to foreigners, charging his own party with treachery, and the loss of the election, by joining the former, and {rom that time almost to the present, keeping up across fire upon both; and now, in October, 1843, we find him recommending one of the moat ultra of the native American party to the constitu- ency of the Fourth district, for their suffrages. We have long been of opinion, and we believe the discerning yart of the public think, with us, that the sympathy and zeal of the Tribune for foreign- ers are mere leather and prunella; that his writings and speeches are got up to catch the votes of adopted citizens; and of this we need no other proofs, if, indeed, any were wanting, than his en- dorsement of the ex-alderman’s nomination for the Fourth Assembly district. Tus Orrice or Recorpger.—At the election which is approaching, a new Recorder of our city isto be chosen. There is, perhaps, no office inthe city more liable to abuses, and no officer more jea- lously watched, than this same office and its in- cumbent. It is highly desirable that we should have an upright man upon the bench at the Ses- sions, and it is equally desirable that we should have there an astute judge. ‘There are not less than seventy-five persons per week brought before the courts over which the Recorder presides, These persons are accused of all mannerof crimes, from the most trivial offences up to arson and man slaughter; and the fate of those who are thus ac- cused,depends very much upon the presiding officer of the court, whose charge to the jury is of great effect in causing conviction or acquittal, and who has a very wide discretionary power in the matter of sentencing criminals after conviction. Of course, having so much power in his hands, the Recorder will be approached by all manner of persons, in order that his influence may be exerted for the benefit of accused parties. How necessary it 1s, then, that he should possess that unflinching integrity which is proof against golden promises and their kindred influences. But while strict honesty 1s necessary, a deep knowledge of law, anda keen discernment, are also requisite, else men may sufler penalties which they do not deserve, and which the law-framers never intended to have inflicted. Itisno trifling matter, therefore, this same making of Recorders, and every percon who exercises the privileges of citizenship in help- ing to fill this place, ought to find out, as well as possible, the qualifications which the several can- didates possess. Our tables show who these can- didates are. Insvsrick To THE MxpicaL ProrEgssion IN THE Army.— Why has there been, of late, no promo- tion in the medical staff of our army and navy?” ‘8 a question so often asked that we really wonder why the various medical journals, which say they have the interest of the profession at heart, have not taken up the subject. Amongst the long list of promotjons and brevets granted to officers tor ser- vices in the Mexican war, nota single surgeon’s name is mentioned, even in terms of common praise; whilst quartermasters and paymasters, who have no more real military rank than the surgeon, are honored “for their gallantry and good conduct.” Is it that the medical officers have not borne themselves well and bravely, or that their duties have not been faithfully perform ed? This cannot be the ease; for not a few have beemfound in the front rank of battle, and all have done their devoir in the field as well and truly as the best. Many, too, have offered up their lives in that unhealthy climate, borne dyfit by the con- stant labor incident to their profession. We much doubt whether a more self-sacrificing body of men could be collected together than ac- companied our army from the commencement to the end of the war. So fewin number were they, that after some of the severest battles, time for needful rest was not afforded them, so great was the jist of sick and woun ded requiring their im- mediate care and unremitting attention. *And how are they now requited ? We hear of eulogies delivered and proud monuments raised to com- memorate the daring deeds of those who fell in attacks upon the enemy. The names of these he- roes are deservedly imprinted on the memories of us all; but who has ever heard aught said of the devotion of surgeon Roberts, who, seeing all the officers belonging to a company of his regiment shot down, and the company itself in disorder, placed himself at 1ts head, and fell, mortally wounded,in the entrenchments at Molino del Rey? Who can recall to mind a single enco- mium upon those who, breathing the pestilentia) air of a military hospital, have fallen victims to their zeal and fidelity?’ We have heard, also, of sword presentations and public demonstrations without number, to the gallant officers and gene- rals who have survived the campaign; but never yet has there bren, to our knowledge, a single pub* lic display, a single mark of civic, governmental or public approbation, given to any of those emi- nent and distinguished men who formed the medi- cal staff of our army in Mexico. The paltry pay given by our government was but a poor compen- fation for the loss of health, and, as in the case of many volunteers, loss of practice also, and profes. sional prospects. It 18 tume, therefore, that our government moved in this matter; and we hope that the next seesion of Congress will cause at least the empty honor ot a vote of thanks, to be tendered to such as are atill living. We consider the chief of the medical staff not wholly free from blame, in having per- mitted the members of his corps to be thus cava- lierly treated by the heads of the army in Wash- ington, without, at least, a remonstrance on the part of himself and colleagues. This treatment, however, is on a par with that given to many de- serving officers by the cabinet at Washington’ who, swayed by political preferences and partiali- ties alone, take upon themselves to say who de- serve, and who do not deserve, governmental favor. If the Surgeon General who, we believe, was 1n Mexico, and who knows well how the surgeons behaved, and with what limited means they at- tended the sick thousands of our army, had been consulted, there would have been, we apprehend, avery different result. But the government policy has been the same throughout; General Taylor’s recommendations were never noticed, and General Scott’s not even thought of. There is still, however, a locus penttentre; and should the authorities at Washington refuse, or delay, to make the amende honorable, we trust that both houses of Congress will take the matter up, and force them todo that justice, the neglect ot which has excited so much indignation in the minds, not only of the medical profession, but of the public at large aabaalh. City Politics: The Whig Convention of the Fifth Congressional District, on Saturday evening, had another excited ses- sion, in which all the candidates were finally dropped but two, George Briggs, Esq., and Col. J.T. Van Alen —the latter brought forward as a compromise. These gentlemen were pushed with great zeal by their re- ‘ive friends. and, (ry more than thirty ballots, votes. At length, ho: vote requisite for a choice and was nominate popular and well known whig. We believe the of Col. Van Alen intend to run him on an indepen- dent ticket.

Pang Tueatne.—This evening, Mr. Maurice Power, ‘the son of the lamented Tyrone Power, will make hi, debut at this theatre, in the charactersof Sir Patrick O'Plenipo, in the comedy of the “ Irish Ambassador,” and Teddy Mallowney, in the laughable and interest- ing farce of “Teddy the Tiler.” No doubt the sym- pathy and feeling which exist in the bosoms of Ame- reans, in to the lamented Power, who was universal favorite. and justly so, will induce numbers to appear at the Park this evening. Of the qualifica tio of bis son as an Irish o , We have no knowledge, and will reserve our opinions until we r seen him. Suffice it to say, we wish him success, and uaded, if he inherit any of the of me ented father, he will meet with that which a dircerning America dience alw: to sterling merit. The excellent company attac! this theatre will appear in the farce of “ Founde Facts.’ Mr. G. Barrett, an excellent actor, will sus- tain the character of Captain Harwood, and Mr. Gil bert that of Simon ‘keptio. It must also be remem- dered, that Mary Taylor, a great favorite, appears in this pieee. Bowery Turatar.—Ever active in getting up most interesting amusements for his patrons, the manager of the Bowery theatre this evening presents one of the most attractive billsof the season. It is made up of a new drama, called “ Life, or Scenes of Early Vice,” founded strictly on Cruikshank’s inimitable illustrations of “ the Drunkard’s Children,” the series of plates which have lately been isgued by him as quel to the famous “Bottle” pictures; Ethiopian Min- strelsy by the very celebrated band, the New Or- leans Serenaders, who bave just returned from a most successful European tour, and the farce of the “Young Scamp.” Regarding the drama ot “ Life,” we are per- suaded that it will prove to be one of the most inte- resting and instructive pieces ever presented on the stage. Every one who has seen Cruikshank’s inimita- ble illustrations, must be fully aware of the great mo- rallesson they inculcate; the drawings, merely, bearing such moral force, how much more must not’a drama have, in which the various and hasty declensions of in- cautions youth, down the slippery steps of vice, are pourtrayed to the life? We are assured that the au- thor of this drama has not allowed his ecenes to be mixed up with vulgar wit, or put a false gloss upon the vicious actions of the unfortunate victims of lawless pleatures and carly wickedness, but be has #o framed is story as to show the evil effects of such delinquen- cies from the paths of virtue, h of the eight pio- tures will be represented on the stage. All of the pro- minent members of the company will appear in thi piece, and Mrs, Tilton will make her frat. appearance in it, as Barbara, the drunkard’s daughter. The New Orleans Serenaders, so famous all the world over, will give a splendid concert, and the “ Young Scamp,” in which Miss S. Denin acts 60 admirably, will make up the bill. Those who wish good seats had better go early. Broapway Turatee.—This evening, the entertain- ments at this central and beautiful theatre, will com- mence with Sir E. Bulwer’s beautiful play of the “Lady of Lyons, or Love and Pride.” Mr. Murdoch, who takes the part of Claude Melnotte, is a tragedian of considerable fame, and a gentleman who, if he be not too much wedded to his own opinions, and lends his ear to the suggestions of the press, will, at some future pe ried, arrive at the position in the di that must command the respect of any audience good in every character he undertakes the part of Colonel be acted by Mr. Freder' 5 considered an excellent personator of every character in light and genteel comedy, will ap) in the part of Pauline. lay will be ‘follo by a Grand Pas Seul by M’lle Celeste and Mon: jetnoff; and the amusements will close with the afterpi of the “ Arcade,” in whieh Hadaway, Andrews, Miss Hil- @eth, and others of the excellent stock company, will appear. Narionat. Tuxatne.—Tho week will open well a¢ this popular house, as there are no less than two most eminent perforziers engaged, viz: J. R. Soot, the popular tragedian, and Mr. T. D. Rice, the great origi- nal delineator of negro characters; and, with such stars, the performances cannot fail to be of the most interesting and amusing kind. Mr. Scott is one of the most popular tragedians of the day; his reputation is well established, both at home and abroad, and his acting universally admired. He will this evening ap- pear as Richard lil.—a part which he performs in most exerllent taste, With the excellent stock company of the National to support him, we anticipate much plea- sure from witnessing this most splendid of Shakspeare’s tragedies. What can we say of Mr. Rice, the great original Jim Crow—the founder of the Ethiopian opera and extravaganza, which is now go popular all over the Union? Time has dealt lightly with the veteran, and his “ nigger” characters are as truthfully aud richly delineated as ever; he is undoubtedly “the greatest nigger of them all’; and many a year will pass ere his his equal in this style of acting will appear. He wiil thisevening appear as Gin; Blue, in the “Mum- my.’ Between the two pieces, ‘arline will dance the Highland Fling. T' crowded as usual. Burton's Turatre.—The manager of this theatre is indefatigable in his exertions to cater well for his patrons. To-night, Profersor Risley and his talented children will appear in their graceful and incredible aerial flights and classical pores, as performed by them before all the crowned heads of Europe. Thecompany attached to this prorperous ertablishment will appear in two dramas, one of which has never been performed in this city, called “Anything for a Change,” in which Raymond, an excellent comedian, Mrs. Brougham and Mrs, Knight, willappear, The Polka Nationale will be executed by Masters John and Henry Risley. in correct costumes, as danced by them with reiterated cheers before the Emperor of Russia and other potentates, and the entertainments will conclude with the burlesque opera of “Dan Keyser de Bassoon,’ being a parody on the populor drama of “Don Cmsar de Bazan.”” Burton is alive to his interest, in thus selecting such variet: for the patrons of bis theatre,and hence arises his Great success as 8 manager. Broapwar Cincus.—The great variety of splendid entertainments that are always produced at this establishment are well appreciated by the very nume- rous audiences that throng the house nightly, Among the more prominent features of the bill, we may men- tion young Hernandes’s great scene as Napoleon, and his extraordinary principal act of horsemanship ; the dancing horse, Haidee, who will appear this evening, for the first time; the comie ponies; John Goasin, tl famous clown; Mr, Carroll and his infant pupil. petite Sylphide ; Mr. Darius and horse Andal and a vi y of other excellen: exhibitions of vaulting, tumbling, # rope evolutions, &e.

Tue Crry, Yest ¥.—The cit; jterday, rented ‘deunes of wn oxtracedli » scene The morping was clear and beau: and gave promise of one of those beautiful days of which October has been sofruitful But as the noon came a heavy cloud rose from the western horizon, which soon erenemceed the face of the sky, and the damp and chilling blast foretold the coming storm. About noon the rain be- gantlowly to descend, which continued to increase until it fellin torrents, and those who were in the streets were obliged to seek refuge from Deane where best they could. The rain comtinued during the remainder of the day, eee all out: doer plea- sures atanend. The beaut @ morning, and the nounding call of the church 1, fille ouses of worship. and the last Sabbath service of the month was perfermed. Nature, which but a short time since was clad in gay and verdant livery, now looks sere and blighted. The great country travel—of late 80 common on the Sabbath—is no more; and a dulness vails, which is truly ominous of the approach of winter. The only subject which seems to engross the attention of the people of this great olty, is that of pstftieal conjecture. Inevery pot-house, e votaries of that delusion were congre- gated, and spoke in strongest terms of approval and condemnation. The Sabbath does not suspend ope- rations in that department, and scenesoccur, common on such occasions, but dirgraceful and demoralizing in their tendency. Many of the dark dens where gaming is the ruling passion, were yesterdayin full tide of operation, and many were the awful forsbodings of conscience of the deiuded ones, who, just entering upon 2 life of shame, as at the dark hour of midnight they left the dens which were but the gaudy and infa- tuating vehicles of their destruction. But there were other things which were calculated to depress the buoyant and happy spirits of many of the citizens of Gotham. The sure, but unwelcome messenger, whose ap) nce begets sorrow, and makes the happy heart disconsolate, did his work. A fond mother’s heart was torn as the grim monster invaded her cheerful fireside, and made a prey of the darling lamb of her little flock. She had arranged the graceful ringlets which bedeck- ed the brow of the little boy whom she had watched beside through many sleepless nights, and in the fond- ness of hope, looked forward in bright anticipation of seeing him arrive at manhood, a pleasure to herself, and an ornament to the circle in which he moved. But, by the decree of Heaven, those hopes d fond anticipation: re doomed to be suddenly cut off, that the mysterious workings of His will might be made fest. ‘The glittering expenditures of wealth woald not save the object of her affection, and she, like those surrounded by penury, was forced to the severance of the tie which had entwined around her heart the image of the loved and lost one. Again, around the nuptial altar stood wall band, in the centre of which stood a fair delicate form. beside 0: more strong, vowing, in the sight of Heaven, eternal con- stancy and love to him who was to hold the happiness of her life in his hand. The venerable minister, in tones distinct and clear, pronounced the solemn words of * Whomsoever Ged hath joined together, let no man part asunder,” and the fate of that fair one was led for weal or wo, They left that altar to en- ter upon the domestic scenes of life. She may be happy, and the contingency, rests between herreltf and him to whom she has sworn eternal fidelity. The spirit to forgive the little 8 of each other, and a due appreciation of kindness and affec- tion, will make all sunshine; while, like the day upon whioh they each pledged to the other their faith, the dark cloud of discontent and unkindness will destroy | all that was beautiful and happy. That day was pro- bably the opening of a joyous life, or probably one of sorrow. At the chrystal font, too, the mother dedi- cated her babe to the service of God, and the minister witnessed the act, the record of which was made in the great volume of the recording angel. Time is yat to develope what will be the fate of that innocent and cherub one. The tempter may throw around its love- ty form its coils. and draw it on to sorrow and shame ; death may rob the monster of its prey, or the seeds of diserction and henor may early take root, and, as time glides on, develope a mind and course of life alike honorable and pious. Like the day of its dedication, it mayin carly ie shine among the noblest of the race ofmen; but the evening dark, gloomy, and filled with sorrow. Such are the doings of the Sabbath in this great city, and it will be for the after generation to tell the tale of gladness or of sorrow waich will result therefrom. New Cucren ow Staten Isuano.—Those of our readers who are at all familiar with the beautiful north side of Staten Island, or interested in what goes on there, have doubless heard of the erection of a chapel in Elliotteville, on the grounds of Dr. Elliott, the oou- list. The building has recently been finished, and opened for public service. and has, for three Sundays past, been the centre of attraction toall in its vicinity. Some have gone down from New York to visit it—our- selves among the number. The church, or rather chapel, is situated between Factoryville and Brighton, near the Snug Harbor, and hardly » stone’s throw from Dr. Elliott's residence. Its position is a welcome one to all in that neighborhood, as there 1s no other church between there two places, and the doctor, who has won the gratitude of thousands to whom he has given sight, now possesses another claim upon the thankfulness of in having placed within their reach the offices of religion, The little building stands in a quiet nook, upon a Fequestered road, not far from the river's bank, and harmonizes beautifully with th at once ruyal and refined, which character: scenery around it, It is of the Gothic erder of tecture, of a brown stone coior, and its little spire can be eeen peering from among the trees, by most of th tenants on the doctor's place, for whose accommoda- tion it was chiefly erected. There now number many families of the highest respectability, who have selected as their summer or their permanent residence, the lovely epot which takes its name from him who has acquired it by his talents and his own unaided indus- try. And, as if to carry out, in every thing, his prin- ciple of seif reliance, Ur. Elliott erected this building entirely at his own expense, without asking even the slightest aid from those who were to enjoy its benefits. The interior of the chapel is in perfect keeping with the style of the architecture, and with the exterior. ‘The windows are pointed Gothic, and lit with stained glass; the chancel rails, reading desks, pulpit, and pewssare of black walnut, and the upholsterer’s work js of purple velvet—the altar cloth baving the I. H. 8. in its centre, in the midst of rays embroidered in gold, ‘There is no gallery, eave that for the organ and choir. ‘We remarked that the seuts were plentifully provided with prayer books, belonging to the chapel. On the occasion of our visit, the service was most impressively read by the Rev. Dr. Winslow, of St, Paul's, S. I, a gentleman alike distinguished as an able and faithful divine and asa naturalist of no mean attainments, During the late prevalence of the yellow fever upon the island, he. to his lasting honor be it spoken, re- mained at his post, while others fied from the pesti- lence. and ministered not, only to those under his im- mediate charge, Lut to all who were in need of his kind and holy offices. This we learned upon inquiry, stimu- lated by the peculiar and appropriate character of the rermon which he delivered upon the occasion. His object, (and it was well attained,) was to show that be- tween true religion and science there is no clashing of interest or of doctrine, as is too often taught; and not only this, but that they are, and must ever be, co- workera with each other, for the benefit of mankind. This he showed by authorities which were undeniable, and a course of reasoning which was Irrefragible, Atide from the general usefulness of such a topio, it ‘was appropriate, as it was one object of Doctor Elliott, in erecting the chapel, to provide a fitting place in which he might deliver to his family, and his tenants, and neighbors, a course of lectures ‘upon astronomy and meteorology. He has been, for all his life, a de voted and succersful practioal student of these no branches of natural science. and well thinks that win- ter evenings can be as interestingly and more profita- bly rpent in the consideration and development of such lofty themes. than in card playing, dancing, and drinking. For thie, again, the residents upon his beau- tiful property owe him their hearty thanks, Common Counci.—Both Boards of the Common Council will meet at the usual hour, thisevening. The greatest curiosity prevails as to what will be the action of the Board of Aldermen relative to the enlargement of the Battery, which originated in, and passed through, the Board of Assistants. A report is also expected, in the Board of Assistants, relative to the propriety of tak- ing up theraile of the railroad, from the City Hall to Canal street, The eage fathers certainly spend more time then is actually necessary, in discussing such beautiful humbugs; and it is to be hoped they will de- sist after to-night, and for the future have rome re- gard to the performance of the duties for which they areeclected. There is every probability the monster humbug of the enlargement of the Battery, will receive its just deserts in the Board of Aldermen, in an imme- diate and decided disapproval. Itcannot be possible that Assistant §Alderman Schultz could, for one mo- ment, suppore, when he first introduced the matter, that the people, through their representatives, would allow themselves to be socasily gulled, and muloted into additional taxes to make the proposed addition to the most beautiful promenade in the country, a of = and which would only result in being the great depot of oyster smacks, and probably the landing pla boats, The dea is ridieulou moment be countenanced by any sensible body of men. That it has for its basis some deep culation, no sane man will pretend to doubt, though it is alleged the city will not be called upon to pay one cent for filling in the whole twelve acres which are proposed to be added. After the addition is ma will then become neces- tary to put ® wall around it of suflicient strength to keep itirom warhing and that wall will probably cost enough to pay a handsome profit on the whole; but that will not be ng the city for filling in, A mind of little cunning and lees shrewdness must @ pro- jected the humbug, or he could most easily have seon the utter foolishness of the proposition. however, will probably give the whole thi from which it will never arouse, despite all the desire of its advocates, to give the city a more beautifal and derirable promenade, Fine.—A fire broke out about seven o'clock last night, in ove ef the Jarge stone buildings attached to Bellevue Hospital, which was almost entirely destroy- ed It was formerly used af an alms-house, but was, at the time of the fire, occupied as a carpenters’ shop, and for other purposes The firome ‘e promptly on the spot, but the force of the water in that section of the city was not sufficient to be of any material bene- fit, and the flames raged with great violence until they reached the first floor, the fire ing occurred in the upper part of the building, anc ‘engines were ehubled to work.

Law Intelligence, Svrenior Court, Oct 28.—Before Judge Vander- poel.—Joseph A. Voisin § Co., vs Robert L. Smith and Henderson.—This was an action to recover the bal of a debt of $2,800, which had been compromised at 50 percent under the following circumstance. It appeared rom the evidence, that in the latter part of Maroh, 1846, Smi Blackwood, of St. Louis, who were debted to the defendants in about $73,000, asked for a: extension, Mr. Henderson, of the defendants, immediately went to St. Louls, and on the 4th of April obtained from Smith, against the consent of Black- wood, a transfer of goods and bills receivable to the nominal amount of over $70,000. Mr. R. L. Smith, the 16th of April, stopped payment; his partner, Hen- derson, still being in St. Louts. 'Hendereon, ‘bei ignorant of the stoppage of his own house, and with the view of sustaining it, proceeded to dispose, at a sacri- fice, of the goods he had received from Smith & Black- wood, and succeeded in remitting $25,000 to New York, before he heard of the failure of his own house; on receiving which intelligence he was obliged to assign the remainder of the assets, amounting, nominally, to $34,800, to the President of the Bank of Misscuri, to pplied towards the payment of certain drafts for $35,000, which Smith & Henderson had accepted for Smith & Blackwood, and which formed part of their indebtedness of $753.000. On the Ist of May, 1846, Mr. Hendereon being still absent, Mr Smith made a state- ment of his affairs, in which he placed the $25,000 re- ceived from Mr. Henderson since the 16th of April, among his good assets, and the balance of the $73,000, viz: $48,000, he placed among his doubtful aseots, He then exhibited this statement to se- veral of the largest oreditors of Smith & Hender- son, informing them that Mr. Henderson had got Porteasion of the property at St. Louis, but that it was eubject to difficulties, owing to the opposition of Blackwood to the transfer. These creditors, there- upon, advised Mr. Smith to offer a compromise of 50 per cent, secured, which he did On the 16th of May the plaintiffs compromised their claims, at 50 per cont, with an addition of rome interest. This action was brought to set aide that compromise, on the ground that Mr. Smith should not have classed the $48.000, remaining unpaid on the debt of Smith & Blackwood, a8 a doubtful debt, and that so far from being doubt- {ul it was fully secured= The defendant’s evidence thowed that the assets at St. Louis, to represent this $48,000, ultimately realized about $19 000 The defen- ‘ants contended that this result showed that Mr. Smith was justified in considering the $45,000 as donb*- ul assets; and aiso. that the threat of Blackwood. that he would eet aside the transfer to Henderson as bein; yold,end the probability of Henderson being oblige to assign the property to the holders of the accep- tances above mention Prevented its being clas under any other head than doubtful. The piainttits aleo contended that another debt, which Mr. Smith had clarted as doubtful being $36 000, due by Shields, Blood & Co., of hville, was not a doubtful debt. d that notes of Shields, Blood & Co been protested in New York. on the 22d of April; that Smith & Henderson bad no seourity for debt, and that it jotween $15 600 to $16,000 t Mr Smith was fally ja fied in considering it as a doubtful debt. The defen- dante also contended that all that had been realised from the assets of the firm of Smith & Henderson, had been applied to the payment of their debts; that Mr, Hend had never touched any of the assets of the old firm. and had again gone into business on oxpital furniehed by arelative; that by prudent management armall surpius had been realized out of the assets by Mr. Smith, over and above the 60 per cent, and thet he afterwards voluntarily distributed it among th» creditcrs, who had compromised at that rate, distribution of this surpins was proved by a large number of there creditors, At 38 o’olock the jury came into Court. and stated that they were unable to agree, and were discharged.
