Affairs in Europe. Our foreign correspondence to the latest mo- ment, is pretty fully given in this day’s Herald. It embraces letters from France,which, at the presen’ moment, are of the greatest interest to the republi. can world. These letters will increase the desire to read the news to come by the Cambria, now due at thi port. The preparations in France for the first Pre sidential election in that republic, excites the deep est interest, and the result of the events in Austria are of no less importance. The details of the des- perate struggle between the inhabitants of Vienna and the imperial troops surrounding that city, will be reed with avidity by all classes. The Cambria is in her fourteenth day, and may be expected to arrive at any moment. The Whig Leaders, and Removals from Office. There are some men in the whig party—of high po- sition, too—whose councils will as assuredly break down the administration of General Taylor as that he has been elected to the Presidency, if he allow himeelt to be influenced by them. Of this class as the Hon. Francis Granger, who helped to break down General Harrison, and who has had the goodness to decline in advance—and probably fora good reason—to be a member of the new cabinet. General Taylor's views im regard to removals from office are well known—in fact, he voluntarily pledged himself many months previous to the election, that if he should be elevated to the chiey megistracy, he would not sanction proscription for epinion’s sake, and would not remove from office those who disagreed with him on political subjects, provided they were competent men, and attended strictly to the performance of their duties. The unsolicited avowal of this principle had its influ- ence m securing his election. The American people have, ever since the administration of General Jackson, been disgusted with the reck- lessnees with which the patronage of the country has beem bestowed on politicians, and the shame- ful and indiscriminate proscription there has been for opimion’s sake. It was a sad thing for the interests of the country, that Governor Marcy's detestable principle—‘‘ To the victors belong the spoils”—was ever adopted. It converted our elec tions—national, State and municipal—into a scram™ ble, bya few reckless politicians and bullies, and has undoubtedly entailed a great deal of immo- rality on the country. Itencouraged men to forsake their places of business, and throw aside the habits of industry by which they supported them- selves and families in comfort and contentment, for a paltry office, which, in nine cases out of ten’ unfitted the occupants for being useful members of society ever after. We know of instances of this kind, and could point out more than a dozen. The avowal made by General Taylor that he would not follow this priaciple—that he would not proscribe for opinion’s sake—that he would be the Presideat ot the country, and not of a party, was hailed with pleasure by all right thinking men in the country; and we are certain that the enun- ciation of this determination attracted to his stan” dard and support many who would otherwise have opposed him. It gave them an assurance that a man who would make such « declaration, in ad- wance, even, of his nomination by the Philadelphia Convention, was a man of independence ; and being #0 1m one respect, he would in all. In the face of this solemn declaration, and in alluding to removals from oflice under the coming administration, Mr. Granger said. at the recent whig festival, what he supposed a whig who is not an ultra whig (meaning Gencral Taylor) would do, would be, in the first place, to remedy some of the evils that have been reaped by turaing whigs out of eflice vader previous administrations, and then te carry out the Jefiersomian principle of ro- tation in office; or, in other words, to make a clean sweep—oust every office-holder who is not a whig, and put a whig in his place. This is the first attempt that has been made by one of the so ea'led leaders of the whig party, to chalk out a policy for General Taylor to pursue when he gets operate upon the country.to'| lowed, né doubt, by others from other eo called whig leaders. If we have not very much mistaken General Taylor's calibre, these whig leaders, as they style themselves, will be taught that the hero of Buena Vista will not submit, as General Harrison did, to be led by the nose by any of them, or to be a mere puppet in their hands, or to have “ a power behind the throne greater than the throne itself."” He will, we hove no doubt, be the President of the coun- try—the independent President of the country— elected by the independent people ofthe country. It is clear to us that, if they attempt such a game, they will wake up the wrong passenger; and, in fulfilling his pledge, and abrogating, during his adminis- tration, the vile pnnciple that “to the victors belong the spoils,” General Taylor will be sup” ported by the best men of the land. Wit Generat Taytor pe a Minority Prest- pent }—The friends of General Taylor, and the public generally, are very anxious to ascertain whether or not that distinguished man has been elected by a majority of the popular vote, over all other candidates, or whether he will be what is usually termed a minority President. In the Pre- sidential contest of 1844, the number of votes thrown for Mr. Polk, the present incumbent of the White House, was thirty thousand less than a majority of the whole popular vote. We cannot, at present, satisfy the inquiries on this subject; but we can give the returns from seventeen States, which may be depended upon as being nearly, if not quite, correct. They are as follows :— THE POPULAR VOTE IN SEVENTEEN STATES, hig §- Ind. Dem't, F. Soil, L, Lea'e, ‘aylor. Cass.

Thirteen States to hear from. In these seventeen States, it appears that Gen, Taylor is in a minority in the popular vote, under all other candidates, 63,256. A great portion of this will, no doubt, be reduced by the returns from the States yet to be heard from; but we do not think that it will be entirely overcome. We are rather of opinion that Gen. Taylor’s minority in the popular vote will turn out to be about thirty thousand. ADMINISTRATION of Criminal Justice.—REcor-. per Scorr.—During the recent election, several o' the newspapers, which claim a large stock of piety and purity, pronounced numerous eulogiums upon the administration of criminal justice, under the recordership of Judge Scott ; while they were at the same time terrible in their denunciations against the character and capacity of Mr. Tall- madge, the Recorder elect.’ We did not join in any of these excessive eulogies, or bitter denunciations, although some strange applications were made to us by a member of the bar friendly to Scott. We desired todo justice to all parties, and trusted to time to bring the truth out of darkness, and purity out of the deep night. . We have heard, however, of a recent case,spring- ing up in the administration of criminal justice, which demands a serious investigation,and which, we believe, will be listened to by the great bulk of the public According to the laws of this State, there are certain cases of ctiminal information, in whicha Recorder has no legal right to grant bail to the par- ties implicated, before an open examination has taken place in presence of the committing justice ; and any Judge or Recorder violating such legal provision, renders himself amenable to impeach- ment before a higher tribunal. Now, among our daily reports, in the ordinary administration of criminal affairs in this city, we have discovered a very peeuliar case, which appears to us to come under the description we have given, and to pre- sent such features as to demand a calm and accu- rate investigation, in order to discover whether the statute has not been violated, and some one has not rendered himself amenable to the law of im- peachment. The recent statement made by Mr. McKeon be- fore the Recorder, and concurred in by the latter, plesents a very serious case against Mr. Acker, | the keeper of the Penitentiary, provided Mr. Acker has no strong justification for his conduct. The next Grand Jury, it seems, is to be invoked in this matter, and Recorder Scott was right in coneurring. We understand that preparations are also making in another quarter, to bring up a case of impeach- ment in a contrary direction, involving a manifest breach of the laws of this State, in respect to the | requirements for bail. What cennection this lat- ter case may have with the present Recorder and one or two lawyers, we will inquire at an early day next week. Let justice be done to justices, and jaw dispensed to lawyers. The administration of criminal justice is one of the most important advantages of civilized society and free government. But this adminis- tration odght to'be pure, unpolluted, intelligent correct, equitable in all its points and tendencies- lf ignorance or mistaken motives change the current of justice, it becomes the duty ef a free press, unshriaxingly, boldly, and mantully, to detend the night against the wrong--to expose ig. norance and imbecillity, even if perched upon the bench for a brief space of time, that the peopie may have the opportunity, in their indignation, to drive it with odium from the high seat to which it has added no honor. Growth ov Tra—-A@xiourruraL Axo Muxerat Resources or Tux Unrren States.—Every year | developements are made showing the wonderful agricultural and mineral resources of this much favored land. Mines of various kinds are being discovered, from time to time, and experiments show that there is no article of agriculture that cannot be produced by our soil and climate. We perceive that an effort 1s about to be made to grow tea in the States of Georgia and Alabama. There is an immense amount of money annually drawn from this country, for the purchase of this article, and if we could produce It in sufficient quantity to supply the home demand, we should not only save the money thus expended, but add much to our prosperity, by opening a new vein of 'ndustry and labor. In addition to this, we would get a purer, cleaner, and more wholesome article than we reveive from China. It1s.a well known fact that there is more or less poison mixed with the tea which we get from that country. In order to give it that greenish color which 18 ignorantly and mistakenly taken as a test of its goodness, the native manufacturers mix with it a portion of Prus- sian blue, which is a poison. The greater portion, if not all, of the green tea which 1s exported to the United States, is adulterated in this way, and it follows that in every cup of tea we drink we im- bibe with it more or less poisonous matter. Tea grown im the United States would clso be purer and cleaner than that which we get from China, because the ingenuity of our people would soon produce a method of picking and curing the leaves. The plan adopted in China is to pick each leaf separately, and roll and curl it up with the possession of the reins of government, to be fol- | fingers In undergoing this operation the leaf must absorb more or less of prespiration or sweat trom ithe body ef those who perform it. A decoction of , hamdled in th:s manner, 18, therefore, to a cer- tain extent, the concentrated essence of China- men. It would not pay, in this country, to treat the tea leaf in this manner, on account of the price of labor; and in the event of the experiment which is about to be tried an the cultivation of this plant ia he United States sueceeding, this operation, if necessary at all, would be performed in some other manner. TueargicaL EmsuTe iN PaiLapeirata—For- kEsT anD Macrgapy.—The quarrel between For- rest and Macready, which has been slumbering tor several years, and only broke out the other day violently and publicly in Philadelphia, has given mse to a good deal of conversation, much remaik, some bon mots, and a small modicum of philosophy, inthis latitude. The history of the difficulty between the two aspiring tragedians of the present age, as given in the speech of the one, and-the card of the other, at Philadelphia, pre- sents some lineaments not very creditable to either; but generally the opmion of the public, or the greater portion of it, 1s against the strange exhi- bition presented in Mr. Forrest's pronunciamento. According to the best and most authentic data, there can be no doubt that the friends or clique in London, of which Mr. Macready was the centre, attempted to write down Mr. Forrest, even before he appeared on the London boards. Whether Mr. Macready instigated or concurred in this movement, it is difficult to tell. There can be no doubt, however, of the truth of the statement disclosing the fact, that a literary man named Foster, made the onsets on the American trage- dian which are referred to. This Foster, we know, although he is a man of superior talent, belonge to the clique of which Macready and Dickens were members; and soon after the return of Dickens to England frem this country, Foster put forth in the Fureign Quarterly Review several most savage and brutal articles against the people, mo- tals, taetes, and everything connected with the American people. In this general aspect, Mr. Forrest presents a strong case against the unfriendliness of the Macready clique in London; but we doubt very much whether Macready was indiscreet enough to commit himeelf very much in the matter. We rather think Macready held back in that affair, in pretty much the same way in which Forrest says he himself held back 1m the attempt against Ma- cready in New York, on his first appearance at the Astor Place Opera House. All these matters, however, are no excuse for the style, the language, and the tone of the card put forth by Forrest. We think it is one of the most brutal, ungentlemanly, disgraceful pro- munciamentos that ever emanated from one the- atrical man towards another. Mr. Forrest has a great many merits, much talent, unquestionable onginality, high principles of honor, a private life that 18 believed to be unstained; and how such a man, in a moment of passion, could put forth such a brutal and disgraceful card as that to which he has affixed his name, ia Philadelphia, is beyond our philosophy. He has clearly given the “ van. tage ground” to Macready, and public opinion, at least here, is more inclined to sustain Macready than ever it was before. As between the two artists, the public care nothing about their quar- rels, private or professional. Those who prefer the taste, and grace, and cold correctness of Macready, as an actor, will pay their dollar, and see him. Those who like she energy, the variety, the contrasts of vulgarity and refinement, which sometimes mark Mr. Forrest’s style of acting, will, of course, pay their dollar to see him, and take the worth of their money accordingly. Both of them in private life are correct, gentlemanly and polished men; both, to the lower members of the drama, as far as we have heard, they are equally insolent, aggressive and selfish. But those trait, of character the public have little to do with, and care nothing about. On the whole, Forrest has lowered himself in public estimation very materially, by the course which he has pursued in this quarrel, while the prudence and discretion of Mr. Macready have raised him as much as the other has been de- preseed; and this, we believe, is the judgment of the public. Orzra axp Faenion.—In spite of all the good advicé which we have given tothe manager of the Opera, we are very much afraid that the con- cern will turn out to be a duplicate of last year’s affair. During the week, the houses have been wretch- edly thin—the performances passing off without spirit, and the most liberal musical critics are gra. dually getting savage, even against their particu lar friend, the maneger. On Wednesday even- ing, “ Ernani” was performed, without Benedetti. Nine hard rehearsals during three days, had com- pletely prostrated his powers, and he Was unable to make his appearance in the opera. Arnoldi, a new tenor, recently arrived from Italy, took the part, but without much power, voice, or talent, to fill it decently. With the exception ot the sub- scription nights, which are only tolerably filled, by a few fashionables, the houses ate very cold and very wretched. Even De Trebriant, the musical attaché of the Frencly journal, begins to find fault with manager Fry, in the most tender and touch- | ing places. The criticisms of this person are, some of them, bitter enough, almost amounting to the savage temper of Forrest’s famous card, but expressed in much more gentlemanly} language. The extra nights, which Mr. Fry got up tor the “ canaille,” are getting worse and werse, thinner and thinner, and, ‘in all probability, must be | givenup. We thought the management ot the opera, du- ring last season, was bad, but really we much fear that the management of this season will present a more woful spectacle than we have yet seen in the way of opera tactics in New York. We are sorry for Mr. Fry, for we are given to understand that he is an amiable man, gentlemanly in his manners, but has not nerve enough to be able to guide 0 manege an affair so complicated as an opera establishment, with troupes, and cliques, and cn” tice, and all sorts of persons, hanging about him and around him. We believe we shall have, one of these daye, to take him under our own protec- tion, to put a little common sense into his head, and set him fairly on his pins again. It willbe a charity for any one to give a hand to a person who 1s so amiable, and who has the disposition to do well, but who has hitherto developed brains insuf- ficient fer the crisis. More Monry anv Foo.s Waxten.—The success of the recent magnificent piece of dupery practised on the Irish people, in this land, by which about $30,000 were extracted from their pockets, and put into the pocket of Robert Emmet, to build up a republic in Ireland—the success of that scheme, has brought more projectors into the field. On Thanksgiving day, M. M. Noah made an address to the Hebrews of this city, m the Synagogue in Crosby street, for the purpose of raising funds to rebuild the temple of Jerusalem. How much he got we know not; but possibly the republic and the temyle will go up together. The Hebrews, however, will take care how they put $30,000 into any man’s pocket, without a receipt.

The following are the majorities ascertained and estimated in thoze Statee, omitting Delaware, in which the number of slaves is small, and the influence of slavery so inconsiderable that it 1s now frequent- ly classed with the free States : Mojerities for Taylor.

The counties referred to ate as follows :—Alle- ety: Cattaraugus, Chautauque, Ene, Genesee, ivingston, Monroe, Nragara, Ontario, Orleans, Seneca, Steuben, Wayne, ‘Wyoming, Yates. EFFECT OF THE OPERATIONS OF THE FREE SOIL PARTY. The votes of the free soil party have lost Taylor and Fillmore the tollowing States, viz :-— Electorat Ta We have little donbt that Taylor would have carried these four States single handed, against Cass, as he would also have carried New York; for the democratic party were divided betore the free soil movement. ith regard to Illinois, the only effect of the Van Buren vote was to diminish the mayerity for Cass. The State was sure for him, in eny event. The operations, therefore, of Mr. John Van Buren, end others of the free soil party, have, in Teality, eflected nothing, except to crease the electora! votes of Gen. Cass 48 in number, as above shown. Iliad there been no free soil move- ment, it 18 evident that Taylor's electoral votes would have been 211, or 217, instead of 163 or 169, according #8 the vote of Mi ippt may be deter- mined--saying nothing of the votee of Virginia and Alabama; which States, alen, Taylor has appa- rently lost, in consequence of the free soil move- ment. ADDITIONAL ELECTION RETURNS, New York. OFFICIAL VOTE FOR GOVERNOR. The official returns, as published in the Albany Evening Journal, difier 8] jightly from those given by us from the Argus.

The company now attached to the Savery is & most excellent one, aad We inust compliment them upon the care and pains they evidently bestow on their parts. They uever are heard to halt in the least; and though, of course, the prompter occasionally has to help them. it is but very seldom. Considering the great number of new pivoes that are brought out at the Bowery, and the vast amount of mental effort requisite merely to commit the fs to memory, their great correctness in the dialogue js worthy of much praise. The company is avery large d the leading membersaf it are eupable of per- play in mort perfect ely f the scene- ma, drosees. Ko, we need not speak, as they throughout the Union, for their eplendor. The orchestral arrangements are likewise excellent, and we can. with confidence, assert, that, ken as a whole, the Bowery theatre is as well au appoiated house as is to be found inthe Union. To night the New Or- leans Serenaders take their benefit, and make their last appearance. The bill isan excellent one —“ Rose Clinton.” “Lola Montes.” “ A Grand Concert,” and “The Mine of Riga.” In their concert, the Serenaders will introduce a new song, dedicated to “ Mose and the B'hoys,” besides giving imitations of Madame Bishop, denelng, ke. The little Dennis will appear in the last piece Broapway Tueatne.—The Claude Melnotte of Mr, Murdoch, last night, was a beautifal and magnificent piece of acting, and the house was filled, considering the inolemencey of tl ening, with a highly select and fashionable audie: to see this favorite aud rising American tragedian.’ Mr. Shaw exhibited great powers as Glavis ; Miss Wallack, as ‘Pauline, was the elight and cbarm of her many admirers. The above delightful drama was succeeded by the Misses Tyrrell’, who performed most sweetly and delightfu'ly, several pepe lar and pleasing ai vinby to the glass bells. The * Honest Thieves” followed, in which Haiaway,as Oba- diab, made tl in with roars ef laughter. Mr. Macarthy as ague, was very clever and amusing; very good, though nothiag very extra Mra, Abbott as Ruth, played with her usual good taste, and in that fine style and simple beauty, for which this lovely and amiable woman ts 60 eminently distinguished. The bills for this evening announce @ series of entertainments for the benefit of Mr. Murdoch, and bis last appearance, and which are onough to make the town rush in crowds to this ele- gant emporium of classic amusement. Natiowat THeatae.—Though everything is settling into the dull condition which the winter months bring aboutin NewYork, the National Theatre still carries the day with the publio, and is nightly crewded to overflow- ing. On Thanksgiving Day, both the afternoon and evening performances were crowded. To the evening one, auch was the rush, thet they hed to stop salling tickets at an early hour. The Chanfrau bas echo a; houre got the favor of the public, and, t is more. he de- terves it; for never did manager work harder than he has doi we be took the National. He plays, him- sell, every evening, and sometimes in two or three cbaracters. He always has an excellent company of actors around him; and everything that is brought outat the National is done in style. His popular per- sonation of More is among the attractions. This character seems to become more and more a favorite every time it is played For nearly 300 nj enacted it, and yet his appearance, eac! bailed with enthusiastic pleudits Lom, continue to thus delight the Gothamites, been Plaging ‘® most successful engagement during the week.

Bunton’s Toeatne.—The ‘Old English Gentleman” war again repeated last night at this theatre,to ahouse not quite so crowded as on other nights, possibly in consequence of stormy weather. However, the per- formance went off with the usual sclai—Mr. Burton as the“ Squire,” delighting cellent delineation of the “ Old English Gentlema: after which was played“ Musical Arrivals” and “ Tom ot Lifein the New World,” in ler Green, to the great satisfaction who at the conciusion of the piece, gave the most unbounded epplaure, To-night an excellent bill is offered. The first piece will be the sketch from “Dcmby and Son,” called ‘-Cuttle’s Capture” in which piece Jack Bunsby is fairly oaught by Mrs. Mc- Stinger, and they are married—the piece all through is exceedingly interesting and laughable, and well worth seeing. “ Musical Arrivals’ and “ Tom and Jerry in America,” finish up the evening's entertainments. Tryon anv Tuomrson's Cikcus, Broapway,—The heavy storm of last evening prevented many from at- tending this popular place of evening recreation. The performance. however, was well sustained by this ex- cellent company, and the equestrian exercieed were loudly applauded by the admiring spectators.

The beautiful col- lection of wild animals and birds continues to be a source of increared attraction, and many improve- mentsin the arrangements and fitting up of the hall, add considerably to its gencral appearance. Curisty’s Minstre.s.—The concerts of these philo- rophers sre Dow among the standard amusements of the city. and people wonder how they got along with- out them formerly.

City Intetligence, Deatn or Ma. Jonatnan Goonnue.—The groatert sorrow pervaded the mercantile and commercial a cles, yesterday morning, on nouncement of the death of Mr. Jonathan Goodhue, one of the oldest and most repectable o.crobants of the olty. Well may his death be mourned, for neman in the community stood more fair before the worldthan he. He wasgeneraily looked upon asa pattern among hiscompeers. He was born in Salem, Mase.,in the year 1782, where he re. mained until 1802, then being twenty-two years of age. During that time, his father, who was s manin ordinary circumstances, pald every attention to his education, that he might be propared to work his way through life succersfully. At that time he came tothe city asthe agent of Mr. Grey, and by his upright course of life and business tact, he won for himself « reputation which lasted throxghout life, and made him the beloved of all who knew him. In few years: he commenced the commission businose, in South st- on his own account, and by a strict adherence to the noble principles with which nature endowed him, socom became one of the mos: popular rerchants in the city. In 181%, he was married te the daughter of General Clarkson, then residing at No. 33 Whitehall street, at which place he also resided up to death. He pursued the same straight forward course through life which had marked bis earlier years, In no in- stance through his protracted life was he ever known to refuse aid to the needy, or allow merit to go uprewarded, He was of noble and generous impulees ; and with a spirit of conscientiousness and Mberality almost to s fault. was held up by the mer- cantile community as the embodiment of what was honorable aud estimable. Possessed of great enter- prio and intelligence, his advice upon ail matters per taining to the business in which he was engaged was sought by his fellow merchants. Asa friend, he was unwavering. and might under all circ umstances be de- pénded upon, An instance of this fs clearly shown by bis great hindnees to one who was in his employ for many years. When he first came to the city, he em. ployed a cartman, by the name of Stewart, te take hi® baggage from the boat to the hotel at which he stopped. “Having rereral times afterwards occasion to employ a careman, the same was always at hand,aed when he commenced business, he permanently engaged him. In afew years that cartman became incapacitated to per- form the duties of his post ; but he still kept him, and provided for bis family until he died. It is sald by those moet intimately acquainted with Mr. Goodhue, that , he has in many cases sought out young men of true business and moral worth, and placed them in such situations that several are now, through his aid, among the most respectable merchants of the city. He was free from all ostentatious display, aud looked alike upon the rich and poor. About fifteen years ago he entered the commercial circle, in which, fromjhis great. integrity and liberality, he soon became a favorite, and in the Chamber of Commerce, his opinion was always regarded as essential upon all important subjects, and his advice followed with suc- cers, This branch of business, as well as the mercan- tile, has lost one of its most prominent members.— Truly it may be said, agreat man hath falk id his loss will create # void which ie not likely soon to be filled. About s year ago, he was attacked with a dis- ease of the heart, which baffied all medical skill.— He frequently spoke of death, and said he should die very suddenly; indeed, he expected that every succeed- ing day would be the clore of his mortal career. On Wednesday, he visited his summer residence at Staten Island, and seemed quite cheerful. On Thursday night he seemed worse, and at two o'clock yesterday morn- ing, his physician was summoned to his bedside; but the icy hand of éeath was already upon him, and all efforts to resurcitate him werein vain. At three o'clock his spirit departed, which cast a gloom over anin- numerable circle of friends. Requiescat in pace.
