And, then that mercantile busi- ness, technically known by the name of commerce, is it not to the people of this country as the very air we breathe ! Is 1t not the outlet of industry— he source of national and individual wealth—the main element of our greatness? And by this much maligned commerce, 18 not every trade and jrofession benefitted, from the woodman under whose sturdy stroke falls the gigantic oak, which forms the mbs of the tall merc'santman that ploughs the sea, to the pilot who guides her proudly into port—through all the stages of her buildiag, yading, freighting, navigating, and consignment ? But, really, this is attempting to demonstrate wha is too axiomatic to be demonstrable. But itis not commerce alone that provokes the wrath of Mr. Brisbane, and the philosophers of his school. The institution of marriage, and the doctrine of the immortality cf the soul, excite their special ebhorrence. Their views of mar- riage, 1! carried out, would introduce a system of bestial atrocicity, which would not be tolerated in any decently ordered menagerie. Tocomment 0, such a system, ina community like this, is wholly unnecessary. To call atientios to it, 18 quite sufficient to provoke its universal and indignant condemnation. Mr. Greeley, the exponent of these socials, doctrines, and the disciple of Fourier and Bris- bane, has been recently nominated as the candi- date of the whigs for the sixth Congressional dis- triet in thise ty. The j ublication in the Tribune, of this letter from M. Brisbane, may, therefore, be regarded as important at this moment, as shadow- ing forth the principles by which Mr. Greeley wil be guided in Congress. It will be for the people of that district to determine whether they will en” dorse, by his election, his views and those of Mr. Brisbane, in opposition to commerce, in opposition to the institution of marriage, and in condemna- tion of the doctrine of the immortality of the soul. For our own part, we should like well enough to see our cotemporary in the House of Representa tives, but for this, that his notions_on the above mentioned subjects are not such as any moral, ra tional, or well regulated constituency caa sub- scribe to. Tue ENLarcEmEnT oF THE Batrery.—We have from its incipient state, to the present time, when it assumes an aspect of the favo: of the Common Council.

The Hibernia, Captain Shannon, with one day later, will be due at Boston ‘At the came time. Fourierite Doctrines—Their Tendency. In another column will be found a remarkable communicetion from Mr. A. Brisbane, extracted from the Tribune of Tuesday. We regard this document as peculiarly interesting, as elucidating, with greater boldness and frankness than has yet been attempted, the views and wishes of those philosophers who regard Fourier asa second Ma- homet, and who would introduce into this, and other countries, a system even more despotic and tyrannical, over body and soul, than that originated by the great mussu'man humbug. And further, we regard it as somewhat important, at the present moment, when the disciple and mouth-piece ot Mr. Brisbane, in this city, is a candidate before the people for their suffrages to make him a mem- ber of the House of Representatives of the United States. It will be seen that Mr. Brisbane claims, with much confidence, that the bulk of the German population is infected with the leprosy of Fourier- sm, and that association and republicanism, de- mocracy and infidelity, advance step by step. Now we, who have travelled over broad Germany, fyom north to south, and from east to west, and who have closely studied the character of its people, deny this aliogether. The Germans are eminently practical in their notions, as may even be observed by those who have daily inter- course with them in this country. All our observations, when amongst them, tended to produce the conviction that in all Europe there 1s no people so likely to make so near an approach to our own system, both social and po- litical, os the Germans; and the truth of this belief recent events have most forcibly demon- strated. The tumultuous roar of the French revo- lution—the incidents, of a character important to a'l christendom, that daily, in quick succession, trod each on the heels of the other, from the flight of Louis Philippe to the elevation of Ca- vaignac—diverted the thoughts and the gaze of the wonder-stiuck world from what was all this time taking place in Germany. Well, during this time, the people of that country had been phlegmat'cal- Jy and quietly mobbing their mimsters, kicking out their kings, upsetting a throne in one place, erecting a republic in another, and when the world looked again, there was a confederation of German States, almost completely assimilating to ourown., They have been approximating more and more closely ever since, and the day 1s not distant when the whole of that once grand em- pire, ancient Germania, shall form a noble band of republics on the model of our own. The Ger- mans have too much practical good sense to beled away from their true interests by the folly of com- munis, or atheism, or socialism. Mr. Brisbane, then, slanders the people of Germany, when he re. presents thezn as largely leavened with Fourierism, and predisposed to atheism and immorality: and, indeed, it would appear that this misrepresen- tation is not without a motive, for, in the same breath, he breaks into absolute worship of the English aristocracy, and calls it “the eanobling and savin® principle of that country.” It is no matter of surprise that there should be a strong sympathy between the English aristocracy and such men as Mr. Greeley and Mr. Brisbane, who preach new systems for the purpose of obtaining over theirdisciples and votaries that absolute mas- tery and dominance which is ‘he object of such men’s ambition. The tendency of all such doctrines is made stri- kangly apparent from the letter to which we again refer our readers. Mr. Brisbane denounces com. merce as “the vilest of all pursuits,” calculated to make men “cowards and cheats,” “gross, de~ graded and poverty stricken,” and as “thoroughly corrupting and perverting the human heart.” We have said Mr. Brisbane speaks boldly, and it will be acknowledged that it requires mach bold. ness to utler, 80 gravely, absurdities so monstrous to a community such as the people of the Untted States, Commeice—why it is the life blood of our system; welling out from the great heart of our Union to the extremities, and returning from the extremities back again to the heart, in beautiful and harmonious circulation. The artisan sells his labor for a price, and buys his necessaries for a price—is it not commerce? The agricultanist buys the implements of labor and sells the product of his land and of the sweat of his brow for a price —is it not commerce? The lawyer buys his legal learaing, aud, sowing at in the soil of his own mind, and maturing it to a perfect growth, sells it again to his client for priee—is it not eom- merce? And so we might go on, enumerating committee of the Board of Assistant Aldermen, and met with the sanction of that body, tavorable to the proposit'on. We have that report before us, and, really, a ca- fual glance would lead to the belief that the work, if an imprevement, could be made at a very trifling cost to the city. But, in the nicety of their calculation, the committee have apparently made a very flagrant error, and, in the main arm of the wall, substituted yards for feet, which, upon care” ful examination, may make a prominent difference in the cost. They propose to fill in some twelve acres, or thereabout, for which the report alleges the corporation will receive $78,275 5), while the building of the bulk-head and sea-wall will cost $161,160, leaving a deficiency of $33,012 30, which the city will be required to pay. But itis very evident a wall and bulk-head, of the dimensions carefully watched the movement of this affair, | Dsatus or Distinavisnen Men.—Within the last two weeks no lese than six remarkable men have died, namely: the Hon. on H. Lewis, United States Senator; Jeremiah Mason, the distinguished lawyer of Boston; William Law- rence, the eminent manufacturer; the Hon, Har- nigon Gray Otis, the distinguished statesman of the old régime; the once rich and courted Martin Duraldo, the son-in-law of the Hon, Henry Clay ; and Brevet Major General Stephen W. Kearny, one of the most accomplished officers of the Ame- rican army. Theatr and Music Parx Tueatae —* Founded on Facts’ was beauti- fully played last night at the Park. Miss Taylor, Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Barrett were particulasly excellent in their parts, and elicited the applause and admiration of a disce ig audience. Mr. Power followed, in the “Trish Ambassador” and ‘The Nervous Man.’ We think we seein this young gentleman the undeveloped toe much ot s novice on the stage to exhibit real genius and full powers. We notice three especial de- fects in bim—a want of confidence, a want of life and animation, and, above all,a want of voice. None of there defects, however, radical or frremovable faults, He may soon acquire confidence, he may easily attain more movement and life, and the organ confidence of a great actor, happily for him, he has not fallen into any of the vulgar defects of an infsrior one. In fact, we might say of him that he is at present ina state of formation. He 1s a sort of neutral. He is not mean or little as an actor. nor is he great or distin- guished ; but we think, how , he will become so, provided he could ‘ire the three qualities in which he seems d viz: Int, more impudence and boldness; 2d, vivacity and animation, which we think would follow more confidence ; and, 8d, more strength and compass of voice. His voice is, per se,good. There are no defects of affectation or man- nerism about it and it has acquired no immovable habitude or unpleasant fixity ; but it is quite too weak and toolow. F.ven this defect may flow from want of configgnce Upon the whole, while Mr. P. may become a gre@Pactor, he will never become altogether a little one, Bowery Tuxatre.—The large audience which was assembled at this house last evening could not have been otherwise than gratified at the elegant manner in which the various entertainments passed off. “Life, or the Scenes of Early Vice,” becomes more and more popular every time it is performed. We have already noticed this piecefat length—it has a sound, moral ten- dency, and is calculated to do much good in the way of a warning to youth. The conclusion of the piece is well managed. and wethink leaves a better impres- sion than if both brother and sister were to die in their wretchedness. The New Orleans Serenaders, with their fine singing, are much applauded every evening. There are six members in this band, and their expert- nesé as muricians, and talents as vocalists, are well recognized by all who hear them. They have gained a very great reputation, both at home and abroad, and | though their European tour was quite a protracted one, they return to their native land as good republi- cansarever, Their burlesque on the famous Italian opera singers, such as Jenny Lind, Madame Grisi, Ma- dame Alboni, Lablache, Mario, Gardioni, Tamburini, &e., are most amusing, and those who have heard those artists etate that the Serenaders imitate them most happily. To-night, the performances will consist of “Lite,” the Serenader’s concert, the farce of “Going to the Trot,” dancing by Mr. G. W. Smitb, and sing- ing by Mr. Wood. Broapway Turatne.—Last evening, Morton's | comedy of “Town and Country” was performed, with Mr. Dyott, Mr. Blake, Mr. Shaw, Mrs. Abbott, and Miss F. Wallack ,'n the principal parts. Mr, Dyott, as Reuben Glenroy, deserved the applause so liberally bestowed upon him. He is fast fitting himself for the first rank in his profession. Mr. Blake's Kit Cosey ‘was well received, and Miss Wallack acted the part of Rosalie with much quiet grace and feeling. Mr Shaw had more room for display in the character of Plastic, proposed, cannot possibly be constructed for any such price, nor for a less sum, at the smallest pos- sible calculation, than $150,000, which would leave the city responsible for $72,000,000. The report informs us that the earth, necessary for the filling in, would be obtained from con: tractors, who are engaged in building sewers in the lower part of the city, and which would re- quire but two or three years. How preposterous is the idea ; twelve acres of land to be made trom the refuse earth of sewers, while a sewer of the largest dimensions through every street below the City Hall would not fill one-fourth of the proposed addition ; besides, moreZthan one-half the streets are already provided with sewers. We are also told that the proposed addition will add from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 to the as- sets of the city, and that ‘a single acre sold from the present Battery, from any part of it least useful for the purposes to which it is devo- ted, would not only pay for the whole work, but leave a surplus of at least $100,000 to the credit of the city treasury.” This assertion looks some- thing like the real intention ef the authors of the scheme. This, however, they say, is merely to show the relative cost of the work, with respect to its future valuation. We are not at all surprised at this movement, and only wonder that something more ridiculous, if ; ossible, has not, long ere this, emanated from those whom the people, in good faith make their legislators. Has it ever been the case that the Battery was insufficent for the purposes of a promenade to all who may have visited it? We affirm not. Then, wherefore the necessity of its enlargemen'? A view of the East river is spoken of as something very desirable. Suppose the ad- dition be made, the view of that river would only reach about as far up as the navy yard, and per- haps to Williamsburg. Well, that would be some. thing, <o be sure, but the view would not pay the cost of the addition. It would be much better if the Common Council wuld devise and execute meansto keep the Battery in a proper condition, and make it a desirable promenade, than think of adding more land to that which is now neglected. But this 1s an age of wonders and humbugs, and we should not be surprised, if this measure be adopt- ed, that a proposition 1s not brought forward and carried, to construct a museum of natural curiosi- ties, or like foolish project, “for the pleasure and amusement of the people.” If their interest was studied more, and their “ pleasure and amuse- ment” less, there would be a greater chance for improvement; and we hope the people, whom they so desire to please, will, with one voice, put a stoP to the harem-scarem legislation, which has already embarrassed the finances of the city and heaped taxes upon taxes, until property will scarcely rea- lize a sufficient interest, in many places, to keep it in proper repair. We have long since ceased to hope for good trom a body of men whose sole aim seems to be how they can gain political position, which, at the pre- sent day, 1s as unenviable, with high-minded men, a8 it is injurious to the moral character. We shall see, Lowever, what course this matter will take in the Board of Aldermen, and, unul that time, forbear to revert to the subject, which 1s en unworthy of notice, except from the reckless man- ner in which the people of the city are compelled, by appropriation after appropriation, as foolish and extravagant as useless, to expend their money for those things which cannot possibly benefit them- selves or any body else. Mx. Brooxs anp nis Nomination.—Mr. James Brooks, one of the nominees of the whigs, asa can- didate to represent the Sixth district in Congress, and his friends, are striving hard to neutralize the eflect of the tirade of abuse which teemed from his paper, the Lapress, against Ireland and the Irish, a short time since. We have no doubt that Mr. Brooks regrets sincerely his conduct in that matter ; jor it cannot be doubted that the inveterate hostility which he divplayed towards this class of our fellow citizens, and his repeated and strenuous efforts to heap ridicule on the Irish Directory, and to pre- vent any aid or assistance being given to Ireland by Americans, have made a deep and lasting im* pression on the Insh voters of New York, He has good reason, therefore, to feel that bis conduct oa that occasion willbe remembered on the 7th of November. Mr. Brooks cannot batbe aware thathe and his paper were heartily groaned by the Irish at Vauxhall Garden, on more than one occasion ; and lest the Irish should furget the treatment which they received at his hands, we understand that all the articles on Ireland which have appeared in his paper, will be published in pamphlet form, and distributed throughout the Sixth district on every condition and class of beings, forming our the day of election. played with accuracy and taste, but might have mace “0ré of the part. After the comedy, ‘La Zingn- rilla”’ was danced by M'lle Celeste and Mons, Wie- thoff so handsomely as to produce an eneore, which, by the way, we always regret to see; a dance should never beencored. This evening, the fine old comedy of “Speed the Plough” will be presented, with Vache as Sir Abel Handy, Dyott as Henry, Lester as Bob Handy, Mrs. Abbott as Miss Blandford, Miss Wallack as Susan, and Mrs. Watts as Lady Handy. This isa fine cast, and no doubt the play will go off in good style. The entertainments will conclude with the farce of “An Object of Interest,” with Mrs. Watts as | Fanny Gribbles.

With the eminent attractions which ate now set forth at the Nation:I, it is not surprising that the house is so crowded every evening. To-night “Damon and Pythias” and “Otello” will be played.

Mr. Beach presided, and speeches were delivered by him, Mr. Enoch E. Camp, Mr. Wal- lach,and General Wm. Gibbs McNeill. Mr. Beach spoke at some length on the course of the administra- tion for the last four years—the annexation ef Texas, the probable annexation of Cubs; and counted favo- rtably om the merits of George Lat dd John M.

The friends of Mr, Phooix met in larger numbers than the others, and proceeded to busiftess, which caused the Mahoney party to retire, The pro- prietor having no pledge for the payment of the hire of the room, by those then occupying it. and failing to get one, caured the room to be vacated.

Destitution.—The city almost daily presents scenes | of destitution which are caloulated to excite the sym- pathy of the most obdurate; but such cases as one whioh occured yesterday are very rare. A woman, lately arrived from Ireland, was found yesterday, in West street, bearing in het arms the dead body of her | infant, which bad expired, in all probability, from ex- posure and the wants of nourishment to sustain nature. She was taken in charge by the police of the | Fret ward, und her wants attended to, Itreatly seems | strange that in this civilized community, those who | seek an asylum from the oppression of the tyrant, should be thus allowed to suffer. This was one of those cases belonging to the Commissioners of Emigration, | and should be properly attended to, instead of being allowed to wander through the strests, bearing in her arms the lifeless body of her offspring.

Puitapecenia, November 1, 1848, ‘We bave received from St. Louis to duy, the ead an- nouncement of the death of Brigadier General Kearny. The despatch states that at one time it was believed | that he would recover from the malady that afilicted him ; but two days since his disease took an unexpect- visers, and he expired on Tuesday morning. General Kearny was born in Newark, New Jersey, about the | year 1793, and was thus in his 55th year at the time of his death. He entered the army, as Lieutenant, in 1812; fought at Queenston, and served through the war with credit. He was made a Mejor in 1824, a Lieut. Colonel in 1833, # full Colonel in 1836, and a full Briga- dier General in 1846. His abilities as a tactician were acknowledged to be very superio-, and have been fre- quently made use of by our government in drilling and improving the cavalry arm of the service. When the war with Mexico broke out, Gen. Kearny was se- lected to command the expedition against New Mexico and California, His march to these distant provinces was admirably planned and admirably executed. The various engagements on the river Gila, with superior forces of the enemy, and the suppression of the revolt of the native population, established his character as an able commander in the battle field, and as # judi- cious military governor. On his return to the United States from California, he was greeted everywhere with manifestations of public confidence and commenda- tion,{for bis military services and general worth.

The dividends Inst year (being two, of 2% per cent each,) amounted ‘to $65,000, or twenty-five hundred dollars more than the ndt earni: It is by no means a favorable fea- ture in the financial affairs of this company, that with the increased facilities for the transportation of pas- sengers and freight which the company havo provided during the past year, there should have been a falling off in the receipts from both of these sources, Itshows the effect of the tremendous opposition which has been brought to bear, particularly upon this road—an oppo- sition which will increase rather than diminish, and which must ultimately cut down its receipts to a point 80 low as to make dividends entirely out of the ques- tion. The Fall River route has thus far proved the most powerful competitor the Stonington line has had | to contend with, and the opening of the New York and New Haven rpad. connectinz this oity with Bos- ton and the whole of the interior of New England, will completely destroy the winter business of the Stoning- ton line; and as that season’s business of that compa- ny has been larger than on any other ofthe steamboat routes, on account of its inland course, it follows | that there must be, another year, and ever after, a great diversion of the Eastern travel from the water to the land route, particularly during inclement | weather, when the navigation of the Sound is frequently dangerous, and at afl times unpleasant. Upon the expiration of the present mail contract be- | tween the Postmaster General and the Stonington Company, which takes place in a short time, it will, we | learn, be nade with companies forming the land route, as it insures more regularity and more expedi- tion ; the frequent failures in the traneportation of mails by the water route, and the disappointment and loss caused by failing to deliver the mails of the British steamers in season, has long called loudly for the change. The debt of the Stonington Railroad Company ha® been increased, during the past year, nearly two hun- dred thousand dollars,and now amounts to nearly eight hundred thousand dollars, which, with the capital stock, makes an aggregate of $2,100,000, The interest on the debt this year will be $48,000, or $12000 more than forthe year just closed. - In view of all these facts: the future earnings of this company must exceed those of any previous year, to give the stockholders even the dividend they have received within the past eighteen months, Those who are interested can judge from the present condition of the oom- pany; from its prospeots, from its management, from the position of its steck, and the complete control a small clique of tolders in Wall street have over its market value—from the uncertainty which has existed, from the declaration of the first dividend up to the day previ- ous to the payment of the last, whether one would be paid or not—what security there isin holding the stook, and what return they may expect from the invest- ment. It is our impression that the two limes of rail- roads running to points on Long Island Sound, which depend entirely upon the through travel between New York and Boston for net earnings, will, ine short time, be in thesame category—the want of sufficient income to make dividends. The Norwich and Wor. eester will never make enother dividend out of its earnings, and the Stonington cannot make more than one or twomore, at the most. Tho Fall River Rallroad has a largélogal travel, which, with the large portion of the through travél that route commands, must make it paying property; the New Haven and Hertford Rallroad is similarly situated, and is already highly productive. The completion of the New York and New Haven Railroad will open a new era in the East ermtravel,and prove the ruin of those companies which have heretofore been only able to drag along a sickly and doubtful existence, even when they almost monopolized the whole of the through travel between this city and Boston.
