New York, Sunday, April 8, 1849. —— To the Advertising Public. Woe beg leave to refer the advertising business por- tion of the community to the advantages which the New York Herald possesses as a medium of advertising. Sts circulation is nearly twenty-five thousand, and we hasard nothing in saying that it is read daily by at Jeast one hundred thousand persons, comprising the yory class to whom advertisements are addressed.— Being an independent paper, it is read by men of all partios, and is as much an indispensable adjunct to the Parlor as it is to the merchant's counting-room, In- deed, ite advantages in this respect aro uneivalled.— ‘Whigs and democrats patronise newspapers that advo- cate their peculiar political views, but in addition, they must have the Herald. Hence tho certainty of advertisements in our sheet being read by men of every political faith, The Double Sheet which we publish every Tuesday morning, is without a rival as an ad- vertising organ, and we expect that the patronage ex- tended to it, will soon reach a point that will justify us in issuing @ rimilar paper twice a week, and before ‘very long, every day. The Foreign News, We yesterday published a synopsis of the Eu- ropean intelligence brought by the steamship Nia- gara to Halifax, Nova Scotia, from which place it ‘was conveyed to this city by horse, steam, and telegraph express. To-day we give a little addi- tional intelligence. The bill introduced into the Parliament of Eng- land for the repeal of the navigation laws, passed toa second reading by a majority of fifty-six—an ndication that it will become a law unless it be arrested in the House of Lords. We have no doubt, however, that the measure will be passed by both branches of the legislature. When we sead the debates on the subject, we shall be enabled to see on what is based the remark, that if the Americans do not reciprocate, they, the British, can retaliate. There is no especial intelligence from France, except it is that in consequence of the threatening appearance of Italian affairs the army of the Alps was being recruited, and the consequent fluctua- tion in the French funds. The commercial part of the news will be treated of in another column. We shall receive our letters and exchanges this merning. The news in detail will be given in to-morrow’s paper. Freaks or Learstation.—It is proverbial that legislative and deliberative bodies occasionally are guilty of some curious things, altogether at vari- ance with the dignity which we suppose them to be invested with, and in many instances positively Aanghter-provoking. The “combined wisdom” at Albany is not exempt from this failing, as the history of its proceedings during the last week will testify. ‘Within that period a bill was introduced having for its eepecial object the exact value, in dollars and cents, of human life, according to a ecele framed for the occasion by that body. In ower words, it isa bill limiting the compensation to be paid by a corporation or persons causing death by neglect, or wilful act or accident, on rail- roads, to the eum of five thousand dollars, good and lawful currency. Now, this is really a very funny affair; but it does not go far enough. If the Legislature of the Empire State have the power to fix a valuation on human life, they certainly can exercise it in cases where not death, but severe injury, such as los- ing an arm, a leg, an eye, or half a dozen teeth, by accidents on railroads, ensues. If they have the power in one case, and exercise it, they have it in the other, and should use it. As, however, they have not yet undertaken to go into the minu- tiw of the business, but have satisfied themselves with laying down the price of killing men on railroads, we shall give them our assistance in ar riving at a rate of damages to be recovered by per- sons who may hereafter be injured, but not mor- tally, in this manner. We will commence with ose of human life : For killing a man outright. . . For depriving him of an arm, For depriving bim of both arms For depriving him of a leg... For depriving him of both lege For punching one out. . For punebing out both For diiocsting © shoulder. {and paying the For a «imple abrasion. requiring only For injuring « man's thumb nail ie ‘We commend this scale of prices for accidents ‘on railroads to the consideration of our legislators “cin Senate and Assembly convened” at Albany, and hope they will act favorably upon it. ‘They will pereeive that we have graduated it according to the price they have set on sending a man to Je- richo outright. But that valuation is not definite exongh. We do not find fault with the sum put down; but the Legislature should have made a dis- ‘inetion between death immediate and death pro- tracted. If the job was done at once—by, for for instance, blowing a man so high in the air that he would be dead before he reached the earth--five thousand dollars would be ample compensation; but for only cracking his skull, so that he would sur- vive in agony and torment for a week, five thou- sand dollars are not enough. However, they ap- pear to make no distinction. In some trials for murder, we have read of, the condemned, when sentence of death was be ing passed upon them, ask, a9 a favor, for a long rope, wo that they would be put out of torment in the shortest time possible. Wf this law should pase, we expect that passen- gers by railroads will, after its passage, politely request of thy divers ad cugiucers of our railroads, 0 kill them outright when an accident to burst their boilers, eo that they may be saved the doctor's bills, pains, and torment, whioh would be inflicted on them in case the job were only half done. They may think that the estimate for deprivation of limbs is rather high ; but they must recollect that wooden legs and arms are very high, in consequence of the business of manufacturing them being monopolized by a few philanthropists, who charge pretty high for such affairs.“ This pe- culiar branch of the fine arts will, however, no doubt, prosper when this bill passes, and many other artists will engage in it. This will have the effect of producing competition, and, of course, re- ducing prices. This may have been in the minds of our sapient legislators who drew up the bill. In) addition to the sum provided for punching out an eye, the Legislature might, in addition, declare that the sufferer should also be provided with an artificial orb, for we believe the manufacture of such articles has been brought to wonderful perfection of late years. However, we shall leave this branch of the subject entirely in their hands, confident that the collective wisdom of the Legislature will ‘be found equal to the task of making this and all other parts of the bill complete. “Trans anp Smites.”—The party newspapers at Wathington, just now, present a very amusing illustration of L’Allegro and Il Penserogo. Of course the work of removal goes on gloriously ; and the cries of the victims mingling with the joy. ous shouths of the fortunate beggars, make up one of the most exquisitely ludicrous chorusses that ever was written or dreamed of by any composer. Old Mr. Ritchie is diligently engaged in pouring balm on the wounds of the sufferers; and if we are to believe him, the country has sustained &n irreparable loss in the ejection of the Smiths, Hobbees, and Joneses, who will no longer smoke cheap segars and whistle “ Hail Columbia” in the various departments. On the other hand, the ve- nerable Gales exhausts the language of eulogium in announcing the entrance of the new race of offi- cials in the discharge of their awfully reeponsible duties. Meanwhile, the good people of the city of Washington, who conscientiously believe that the federal government moves, lives, and has its being for their sole and especial benefit, are calculating the chances which the new dynasty is likely to af- ford them for the exercise of that peculiar hospi- tality for which they have been always so remark- able. Thus, they have merry times in the Chris- tian village of Washington. Arrival of the Steamship Crescent City, The splendid steamship Crescent City, Captain Stoddard, arrived at this port early yesterday mor- ning, from Chagres and Havana. She arrived at Havana on the morning of the 30th, after a passage of four days and a half, and sailed for New York on Monday, April 2d, at half-past five, P.M., and has thus made the passage to this port in four days and nine hours. She arrived at Chagreson Saturday morning, the 24th of March, making the passage from New York in eight days and eighteen hours. After landing 350 passengers, she sailed for Havana on Sunday, March 25th, at six P.M., with twenty passengers. ‘The mail steamship Califomia had not arrived at Panama at eight o’clock on the morning of the 23d ultimo. The Oregon sailed from Panama on the 15th of March, at six o'clock in the morning, for San Francisco, with two hundred and fifty passengers, leaving about eight hundred at Panama. Since that time to the 25th ult., about five hundred and thirty more had arrived at Chagres. The health of both places is very good—only a few cases of intermittent fever, brought on by ex- posure, existed. There were only two vessels at Panama on the 238d—the ship Humboldt, with coal; the other a small brig, called the Eterlina, bound up, with pas- sengers. The whale bark Equator, of New Bedford, sailed on the 21st March, with one hundred and thirty passengers for San Francisco. Several othe’ whalers were expected soon. An English ship, the Colony, sailed on the 20th, with two hundred and one passengers, for the same place. The latest news from San Francisco, at Panama, was by the Belfast. It was to the 9th of December only. ‘The passengers by the Crescent City chartered canoes to take them up to Gorgona, for nine dollar8 each, with all their baggage, a distance of forty- five miles. The road from Gorgona to Panama is 1p very good order, a distance of twenty-one miles; baggage is taken over at six dollars per hundred pounds ; have heard of no accident on the road; provisions are plenty at Panama, and board can be had at $1 20 to $1 50 per day, and persons can live at fifty cents per day, with a little management ; marketing and cooking for themselves. American eagles at Panama, were worth eight dollars in change, half eagles four dollars, half dol- lars forty cents, five franc pieces pass for ten one dime pieces, a dime passing for one-eighth of a dollar. Doubloons are worth seventeen dollars.

ARBIVAL or THE MIAGARA AT BOSTON. ADDITIONAL EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE. wenn AFFAIRS INITALY AND INDIA. SHIPPING INTELLIGENOE. Boston, April 7, 1849, The Niagara arrived at a quarter past seven o'clock, this morning, from Halifax. Her mails will be despatched to New York this afternoon. The N. brought no specie from England. She has $17,000 in silver from Halifax, on New York ac- count. Annexed are a few items of intelligence :— Affairs in Italy. It is calculated that the forces which can be put in motion against the Austrians amount to about 60,000 men. Prince Eugene, of Savoy Carignian, is appointed Lieutenant-General of the kingdom during the absence of the King from the capital. Marshal Radetsky has threatened to lay Milan in ashes, should an insurrection be attempted there. He is said to heve at his disposal 100,000 men, 70,000 of whom can be brought into the field. Rome, The Assembly has voted by acclamation a pro- ject of decree abolishing the holy office, and de- cided that a pillar should be erected on the site of the Palace where it had been installed. In the sitting, on the Ist ult., M. Sterbini announced that the eexcutive government had made every prepa- ration for the war which was about to take place with Austria; for a war there certainly would be, as the govemment was determined not to wait until the Austrians received reinforcements, It is thought that Mazzeni will be proclaimed Dictator of Rome. The Romans are said to pro- pose to themselves the seige of Ferrara at Rome, on the 10th ult. The Bishops of Gubbio and Orvieto, and the Arehbishop, Cardinal de Ferino, were arrested; their offence is that of exciting the people, through the press, to revolt, and ca- lumniating the republic. Orders were also given on the 12th to arrest the Cardinal de Angelis, Archbishop of Ferino. It is thought that should hostilities actually break out in Piedment, the Si- cilians, Genoese, and in fact all the Italians, will take part in the war. India. No further battle has taken place on the banks of the Jhelum, and Lord Gough has relapsed into his previous inactivity. He seems to be adopting the Fabian system of warfare until the division of General Whish shall have joined him. Under all the circumstances, considering the nature of the ground, and the difficulty the Sikhs must have in maintaining their numerous troops in the field, every day must improve the position of the Bri- tish commander. We have still the repetition of the reports of the Affghans taking up the cause of Shere Singh, but we cannot yet be convinced that Dost Mohammed has espoused the cause of the rebels. He seems more disposed to hover over the flanks of the contending parties, in order to avail himself of circumstances, and regain the possession of Peehawur. General Whish was advancing with his forces towards the north. On the 2lst of Ja- nuary they had crossed the Raree, and had reach- ed Kumbcera, six marches from Jhung. Major Lawrence had been permitted to join his family at the Sukko court, where they are confined. They were treated with kindness. Sir Charles Napier proceeds to India on the 24th instant. Commercial affairs have not suffered in India so much as might have been expected. All is quiet in China. It is said the Chinese bankers are with- drawing ‘their capital from Canton, anticipating disturbances in April; and upon Chinese authority, we are informed that the Imperial Seu, Commis- sioner, has held a consultation with the elders and gentry on the question of opening the city to the English. He is reported to have told them that he ig not in a position to resist by force of arms, nor j# he disposed to incur the pecuniary and _ political responsibility of coming to an open rupture with the barbarians ; so that if they are to be kept out, the gentry and people must themselves provide the men and means. Messrs. Baring Brother's Cireular. Loxpon, Friday, March 23, 1849. Since our last advices of tho 9th inst., the state of continental politica has given rise tos feeling of unea- sincea, and legs disposition has been evineed to operate in colonial and foreign produce, as well as in the manu- facturing districts, and prices of many articles have Alightiy receded, as the following remarks will show: For Asuxs we continue our late quotations, though wo have no transactions to report.

We are in receipt of files of El Diario de la Ma- rina, Gaceta de la Habana, and Faro Industrial, up to the Ist inst. For the first time since the California excite- ment in this country, we find the Havana papers taking notice of it, as the Diario dela Habana gives a long translation of ‘ Authentic News from California,” which was published in this city on the arrival of Captain W. D. Phelps, some time ago, from the land of gold. No editorial remarks are made onit. It being the season of Lent, and close on Holy week, all kinds of amusements were at a stand still. NEW GRANADA. The accounts at Havana are no later than those received here direct. We see the death of Mr. Bidlack, the United States Charge de Affaires at Bogota, mentioned in the extracts the Havana editor makes; the date is not mentioned. The item is taken from La Prensa, published at Bogota. This confirms accounts previously received here of Mr. B.’s death, which, however, have been sup- posed tobe incorrect. The latest date from Bo- gota is the 15th February. From Chili, Peru, and Ecuador, the accounts were not so late by two weeks, as those previously received here, Brooklyn City Tue Guacr Cuunen, (BRooKLrs i d on Wednesday last, that chureh, of which the Rey.

He said t the democrats of New York wero not wil ne to be divided by organizations out of the cit and that the party here were much less willing to bs div: mong themselves. It was not necessary to al- lude to those issues which bad distracted them hereto- fore. We have, said he, nothing to do with the Wilmot proviso ; all the provisos that we have todo with now ai such as will give us clean streets and low taxos ; all the banks we havo to contend against are the sand bs od mud heaps which abound in our streety. Why should we be kept down by disappointed aspirants for office? We will be kept under this no longer. Mr. Wells be- sought democrats to unite, and thus secure the city government; “ for,’ said he, “if we are defeated, wo thall have a police bill passed. giving policemen office for life,”” and this, he intimated, would accomplish the appointment of nine hundred mercenary opponents. ‘Lhe three millions of dollars which it has cost to govern the city for the past year, had to be paid, he said, by the poorer classes, in the shape of rents and high prioos for provisions—during the administration of the pre- sent Common Council, he continued, we have nothing but drunken revels and junketings at the pub- lic expense. All classes of citizens are tired of this of work, and the people have, therefore, united wy) one man, and that man is Mynder Van Schaiek. (Cheers.)’ We will elect Mr. Van Schaick, in spite of disorganizers and disappointed politicians. We will send a voice to Washington, which shall show the whigs that their success here, in lately electing thoir candidates, was mircalled a whi, victory. It showed only our dissensions, and not their strength, At the conclusion of Mr. W.’s remarks, calls wore made for Brady and Strahan, but louder calls were made for an adjournment.
