The progress, character, and prospects of jour- nalism in the United States, present a subject emiently worthy the attentive study of the phi losopher, patnot, and Christian. Never, until these timee, and in this land, has the experimen of a perfectly tree and unfettered press been fully tried. The results, thus far, are before the world; and no man can deny that the influence exercised dy thie great sgercy of intelligence and opinion has been highly subservient to the interests of truth, liberty, and virtue. A point has now been reached in the progress of the American newspape preee, which justines a brief review of the past and a glance ut the future. Unquestionably, 1¢ ia to the establishment of the andependent press :n the large cities, about foar teen years ago, that we must trace the engin of that epint of energy, impartiality, and enterprise, ‘which inepired a new and more vigorous vitality into journalism in America. Previous to that epoch, the commercial and patty newspapers were feebly conducted, and had, indeed, made but little advancement beyond the uninfluential gazettes, such as Thomas’s Mussachusetts Soy, aud other little sheets, published towards the close of the Jast century. A few scraps of stale, foreign and domestic newe— brief notices ef the most impor- tant proces dings 1» Congrese—and occasionally a full report of a murder, with long essays on morals and political ecovomy, by “Scrutator,” “Publicus,” «* Justatia,” and other eminent anonymous scrib- blere, constituted the staple of these old fashioned, indolent, strictly virtuous, and highly respectable newepapers. The repid growth of the chief cities of tne Union—of New York in particular—and their progress in ntelligence, refiaement and high ouluvation, soon demanded a species ot journaliem more consonant with the spirit and preerees of the age; and the cheap indepen- dept prees was established. Its success na- turally followed. News from all quarters was collected with great industry and tact—the to- pice of the day were handled with more or lees ability—and the American public were fur- nicbed for the first time with an energetic, enter- prising, and reliable newspaper press. The circu- lation of the new journals increased with extraor- dinary rapidity. No longer confined to the rich, the newspaper press began to diffuse itself among the maseesof the people. The privileged classes — the poltcians--the purse-proud merchants-—the stock brekers—all who feared the honest light of day, began to be alarmed; and the old sixpennyjour nals united ine fierce outcry against the new species of journaliem, which had the impudence to speak out the truth on all subjects, in the name of justice and the people. The result of this conflict is wel} known. In New York, in Philadelphia, in Baltt more, in Boston, in New Orleans, the free, popu- Jarprees now wielde an influence which 18 irreaisti- ble, and which has produced a most salutary effect on tke entire journalism of the country. From the first etep inits career, the New York Herald endeavored to attain a more comprehensive and elevated ground than that assumed by its co- temporaries of the independent press. Ic sought to be tomething more than a mere local newspaper. The sim of the proprietor was to give to his jour- nal a national character. Hence his continual ex- peoditures in order to enlarge and carry oat his original design. How far he has succeeded in cre- ating a newspaper establishment worthy of the patropage of the American people, and adapted to the necessities and character of the age, is a pro- blem which may be safely left to the decision of the public, at home and abroad. Without the elightest inclination to depreciate -the merite of any other journal in the country, or detrect from its influence, we are, we believe, fully justified im stating that no other newspaper in the United States enjoys a circulation at once g0 large and #0 diflusive as the New York Herald, and, nleo, that, asan accurate and impartial vehicle ot intelligence, it poesesses, in the highest degree, the public confidence. When we state that this journal may be regularly found in every city, town, village, humlet, district, and section of the United States, we make an asaertion obviously suscep- ible of the closest scrutiny, and on which no one ‘would venture without the fullest authority. The Aevold ie, 10 fact, uaiversally diffused throughout the United States, and in thie respect its circu- qation is of a peculiar character. Abroad, ourcir- culetion 19 extensive, and diffused in a corres- pending ratio. We send more copies ot our jour- nal to Europe than are sent of all the other news- pepers in the Unit-d States. The Herold establishment 16 now ina state of the beet porsible organization, both as respects its ntellectual ano mechanical means and capabilitie: Our numerous corps of editors and reporters is ecmpoeed of gentlemen experienced in tho useful discharge of their dunes. The machinery, presses, and all necessary mechanical means and appliances, are as perfect ae modern art can make them. We have every facility for the publication of an im- menge edition in the shortest time. All this effi- -eient organization has involved a vast outlay of money, and been the result of great experience and practical skill. We shall next week commence printing our jal in entirely new and beautitul fonts of aype; from the foundry of James Conner & Son. The experiment of the Double Sheet has thus far fully ahewered our expectatio We direct the atten- tion of advertisers to the extraordinary induce- mente which our journal offers tothem. Already the new system is bringing in a largely augmented advertising patronage. The universal publicity swhich our journal gives to all advertisements in- geited 10 ite colamns, 16 @ notorious fact. Our terme are liberal, and every proper attention will be paid to the wishes of those who extend their patronage, Let advertisers weigh the facts which we have Presented. Hitherto it was impossible for us to fomply with their desires, and at the same time do the justice which we have always meted out to our readers, Now, we can attain both objects.

SPECIAL I venta EXPRESS, HALIFAX TO 8T. JOHN, N. B., THENCE TELEGRAPHICALLY TO NEW YORK, POR THE NEW YORK HERALD. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP NIAGARA AT MAUIPAX, Gie., Sie, Moe The fellowing despatch has been sent to the New York Herald ever the wires trom St, John, N.B. The news reached that place yesterday morning,by special horse and e.eimbfoat express, from Halifax, and was immediately transmitted to this city. The Niagara left Liverpool on Saturday, the 24th ultimo, Sr. Jonn, N. B , April 6—8) A. M. The Niagara, Capt. Ryne, with two weeks later intelligence from all parts of Europe, arrived at Halitax yesterday afternoon, at 3 o’clock. Our express started at half-past three, and arrived at St John at a quarter past eight this morning. The Niagara has forty-one through passengers, and will probably arrive ather wharf in Boston, about 81x ©’clock Saturday morning. The Europa arrived at Liverpool on the 20th, in thirteen days from New York. Her arrival was anxiously looked tor, as the bearer of President Taylor’s Inaugural Addrees, which was imme- diately telegraphed to the London press, and has since been very favorably commented upon by all the leading papers. The Hermann armved at Southampton, from Bremen, on Thursday, and was to have sailed for New York on the 26th. Oae of the firemen, a celored man, was crushed to death by some of the machinery, on the passage from Bremen. Asteamer has arrived from Southampton, for Havre, with 500 bales of valuable French goods, which were placed on board the Hermann, for the New York market. The Sarah Sands made the run home in 17 days. The news by this arrival presents European politics ina more threatening aspect than at any period during the past year, and its importance, not lees than its exciting interest, predominates over all other intelligence. In England the unsettled and alarming state of continental politics, and the fears generally 1n- dulged in with reference to the forthcoming 1a- telligence by the overiand mail from ladia, had the effect of, to within three days of the sailing of the Niagara, creating considerable despondency im commercial cireles, and the almost entire sus- pension ot extersive operations in every depart- ment of trade, and the cotton market was uousu- ajly dull and depreesed, and the prices receded full jof a penny. Nearly every principal article of commerce partook of the general gloom; but on Wedneeday the anxiously looked for India news was received, and being of a more favorable cha racter than had been anticipated, a reaction imme- diately setin, and at the momeat of the Niagara’s departure every department of trade had assumed a far more cheerful aepect. Cotton, that sure barometer of commercia; health and confidence, rallied at once to the extent of one-eighth of a penny, and the market for the week closed with a rather more active demand. There has been no improvement in the marke for breadstufla since the advices by the Canada, In fact, prices in all the leading markets have con_ tinued to recede ; but low as they now are, pur- cheeers seem to hold off, from a cenviction that they bave not reached the bottom. There has been no diminution 1 the extent of employment in the manutacturing districta ; but there has been a susceptible falling off in the de- mand fer manufactured goods. There is a full in the metal trade, and prices ave a shade lower; but itis velieved that the late ad- | vance of £1 per ton on manutactured iron, and 10s. on forged pigs, will be tully maintained at the coming quarter. The reports by ihe overland mail represent trade at Bombay, Calcutta, and Canton to be good, and business generally, to be in a healthy state. The supply of money continues abundant on call, The bankers will not give more than two per cent, and are quite indifferent about receiving it at that. First class paper is gladly taken at 24 a 24. The Bank of England returns do not furnish any feature worthy of particular remark. The anticipated drain of bullion for the Conti- nent has not yet been realized. American stocks fully maintained their prices. The ordinary and middling qualities of cottoa are freely offered at the reduction noticed. Fair Uplands snd fair Mobiles are quoted at 4d, and fair Orleane 43d. The sales for the week ending 16th, were 31,690 bales— of which 8,000 were on speculation, and 3,100 for exy The business of the last week amounted to 29,- 290 bales--of which speculators have taken 2,600, and exporters 3,800 bales. The ttock in Liverpool is now about 408,000 bales, of which about 259,000 are American. During the past two weeks the cora markets of the United Kingdom have been quite as dull and €s inactive as before the sailing of the last steam- er. Western canal flour is selling at the reduced price ot 238. per bbl, This fall produced sume speculation in the article tor 4 few days, and aa advauce of threepence to sixpence per bbl.; but 238 is now the fair qzotation for ike above de- scnpuon, a8 wellus tor Philadelphia and Buiti- more, though for Ohio, of prime quality, 243, 1s obteined.

Cured provisions in Liverpool and Londen are very steady. At Liverpool we have to report a re- reduction of 3s. to 5s. per tierce on beef. There hae been rather mere business passing. The aeal- ere, however, buy only for present wants, autici- pating st:ll lower prices; but the arrivala having rather fallen off since our last, there is less anx- lety manifested by holders to torce sales. There 1s @ moderate demand for pork, chiefly for ship stores The new Western prime mess is far from fine; the color in moet instances being dark and dingy; 65a. a 578.18 about the selling price tor such. We have again to report an active demand for bacon, wich having been met freely by importers, hae token off ull the recent arrivals as fended’ Prices have scarcely varied, although for tine Eastern a trifling advance has been realized. Hams are scarcely 80 good to sell, the Loadua market being lower than the Liverpool We cou- nue without should Sard lo again lower, wt—the sales in the 14 days reach- tone, holders meet:ng buyers freely. he tranenctions in naval stores are limited.

The great object which has been kept in view by the designers of this constitution is the snitg of all Austria into a free, independent, ia- divisible, indissoluble, constitutional monarchy. With regard to the social and political regulations guarantied under this constitution, the liberality of their nature can hardly fuil to excite surprise. The press is not allowed to be put uader censorship; the complete equality and toleration of all reli- glove; the independence of every church and sect Ip the management ot its own property and uffar the extension of education to all l inguages, and its prosecution as pocneess work, ate especially secured. The Imperial Diet is to consist of two houses, whore constitution approaches nearer to that of the American Senate and House of Repre- sentatives than the Legislative Assembly of any other State.
