THE NEW YORK HERALD. SS NO. 5423. THE HERALD DOUBLE SHEET. During the last few weeks we have issued a double sheet once a week. The experiment has been sin- gularly suceessful. It has evidently met the wishes of the public. Indeed, the success of this movement has been so marked, that we must issue the double theet more frequently, We are compelled to issue it twice a week; and next week it will appear on Tuesday and Thursday, in order to accommodate those who avail themselves of the obvious advantages which it presents to advertisers. In a short time we will probubly be compelled to issue this double sheet every day, The value of the Herald as an advertising Yehicle has been se abundantly demonstrated, that we will be obliged to make this arrangement a regula™ and permanent one, s0 as to serve both our readers and our advertising patrons, Our machinory, and all our mechanical means and applianees, are now per- fectly organized. The Herald double sheet 1s, in all respects, as regards its typography and general ar- rangement, the most beautiful newspaper issued on the continent. Advertisers should prepare and hand in their advertisements with promptitude. ADJOURNMENT OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE Amount of Work Done—Titles of Acts, &e. Aupany, April 11, 1819. Members of the Legislature—The Closing Scenee— The Speaker’s Speech, §e., §c., §c. The voluminous telegraphic reports of the pro- ceedings of the Legislature, which you receive daily from Albany, enable you to dispense with the reports which I was formerly in the habit of sending you by mail. In fact, a complete and de- tailed report of the debates in the Legislature, such as you give of the debates in Congress, would not possess interest enough to compensate for the space which they would occupy in your columns, to the exclusion of more interesting matter. This fact is universally understood by the newspaper press, and hence little note is taken of the abstract and sopo- Tifie debates which occur, almost daily, in the Le- gislature of this State, The interest of the public in their proceedings has gradually and most sensi- bly diminished from year to year, since the depar- ture of those master spirits, Clinton, Van Buren, Burr, Spencer, Wright, Young, and others, whose eloquent voices and manly bearing, gave a lustre and an all-pervading interest to the debates in which they were accustomed to participate in our legielative halls. Few of our northern men are elocutionists; few of them are great in debate; this important branch in their education seems to have been sadly neglected. Indeed, few of the great mags of northern men have been gifted by nature with tremendous oratorical powers. In this regard, ithath been always considered that the South, the “sunny South,” isfar in advance of the frigid North. We have, however, many accomplished entlemen in the Tlouse, and several who are enti- ted to rank high as scholars and jurists. The Speaker, who has acquitted himself of his duties with great success, is perhaps the most talented member of the House; he is a man of splendid acquirements, and his great urbanity and continual ped teniper has won him many warm and lasting riends, The proceedings of the House to-day have been rather beisterous. The pay of members ceases te-day, and the House looks and acts as it usually does about an-hour before the final adjournment; the members are sauntering through the aisles, locking up Often at the cleck, to note the flight of tinisties ges are running hither and thither, tying up doguments; delivering pay warrants to members, and adding to the general confusion as much ag le. The House is uproarious, and the mem are keeping up a@ running conversa- tion, which isloud ¢nough to drown the stento- rian voice of the Clerk, and to make it inaudible ata distance of twenty feet from, the Speaker's chair. The gallant Gen. Averill, of Montgomery, is in the chair—the Speaker lt, retired, accord- ing to the parliamentary usage. The brave Gene- ral, weighing, as he does, about twenty stone, looks the very embodiment of dignity and glory. The galleries are, however, the most interesting feature in. the scene; they are filled with lovely women, decked out according to the latest pub- lished programme of Parisian fashions. The following address was delivered by the Speaker at the final adjournment:— GextLemex oF THE Assematy :—Before pronouncing the word of final separation, allow me to congratulate ou on the successful accomplishment of the important Duriness committed to your chat You will return to your reveral constituencies with the pleasing con- sciousness of baving faithfully devoted yourselves to their service. Whatever errors andimpertections shall appear in the results of your labors, will be attributable rather to the great amount and variety of business re- quired to be transacted in so short a time, than to any undue negligence of yours. The candor and forbear- ance which have characteriged your deliberations, and especially in the discussion of matters involving strong antagonistic interests; as well as the firmness and in- dependence of your action, have been worthy the re- presentatives of a free people. Not an hour of this brief sension has been wasted in angry disputation or mere partisan warfare. Indeed. I may be permitted to say, in this place, of the members representing the political minority in thin House, that instances are rare in which devotion to the public interest has so ontirely recluded all factious, and partisan action.— am also happy to congratulate you, that so few occur- rences have happened during the session, calculated to afitict or annoy any of out numbers. Whilst death has invaded the chamber of @ co-ordinate branch of the government, axd ftricken down one of its most usoful and respected members, we have been preserved in lifo and health A most amicable spirit has characterized your action, inepizing sentiments of mutual respect d confidence, which | trust may continue te be che- hed long ‘after our present reiations shall have dis- solved, Iam deeply sensible, gentlemen, of the groat kindnone and consideration uniformly extended towards myself as your presiding officer. It was not to be ex- peeted that T should, in all things, #0 discharge the duties of this place as tomeot with universal approval; yet, | have the great satisfaction of having constantly Zadesvorea Co elinikiletes We: Faleeahl orlers of your adoption with entire fairness and {mpartiality. That you will overlook anything in which | may haye failed to mect your just expectation, I rely with confidence on the same gencral and liberal onstruction of my ocon- duet, which hag eo greatly lightened my otherwise diff. cult and arduous labors, I shall ever cherish with ploa- sure, the recollection of the ussociations and attach- menis of the now closing session, lavoking on you and yours the continued care and proteetion of our com- mon Father, I bid you, gentlemen, adieu. In pursu- ance of the joint resolution of the Sonate and As- sembly, 1 now pronounce this House adjourned sine die.

Interesting California Intelligence—Several Days Later News, &. The Galveston (Texas) News, of the Sist of March, contains intelligence purporting to be from Los Angeles, California, of the Mth of February. This, if correct, is seven days later from that territory, but very little and perhaps not so late from the gold region. Los Angeles is about three hundred and fifty miles from San Francisco. The News says :— We have just been favored with the perusal of a letter from Los Angeles, California, dated February U4. The letter is from a surgeon in the United States ser- vice, addressed to his brother in this city, and its state- ments as to the almost incredible produetiveness of the gold mines, fully confirm all that has hitherto been n the subject. The name of the writer, ¢ we at liberty to give it. would be deemed a suff. t guaranty for the truth of the assertion, The writer gives it as his opinion that our accounts of the mines bave not been exaggerated, and that from one to two ounces of gold may be obtained per day by every man. He does not give this as the result of his own labor, but from the best evidence in his possession, of the labor of others, The country is represented as Ta- pidly filling up with emigrants from all parts, and as offering many inducements to persons of enterprise to emigrate there. We cannot recapitulate the whole letter, but can say that its tenor throughout is caleu- lated to encourage those who have once determined upon this great enterprise, not to abandon it, but to persevere unto the end. [From the Baltimore Clipper.) The following interesting extract of a letter from Mr. H. A. Harrison, to his brother in Baltimore, with which we have been kindly furnished, gives the very latest news from California, and fully con- firms previous accounts Jonelit the wonderful mineral resources of that newly acquired ter- ritory:— ; San Francisco, Feb. 3, 1849. “In my former letters have sought to give you some idea of this great and fertile country, but I must con- fexs that ull I might say would convey but a faint con- ception of things as they really are; in fact, it needs eyes to see and witness, before belief. No doubt you have, ere this, most glowing accounts in every paper. relative to the mineral productions of our mines, which strike wonder and doubt in every mind; but astonishing and incredible as it may scem, all that has been published. to the world as yet, is but aweak description compared to what really exists, New discoveries re being made every day, 1 may say; within the last: month, notwithstanding the bad state of the weather at the diggings, as they are called, new mines have been discovered, surpassing all heretofore in richness and profusion—and it is said that in these new places of deposit, some have dug and washed a thousand dollars in a day—and this is not,at all impro- bable, wonderful or surprising as it may seem, I saw apiece of gold, mingled with white stone, the other day, that weighed about forty-eight ounces, and was purchased by @ navy officer for $500; it was really a curiosity, and, a8 such, intended for some institute in the States. L have scen other rare and beautiful specimens of pure lump gold,of an oval form, the size of an egg—somo Of there have been lately despatched to the States, It Would seem a strange sight to you to go about in the different stores, and sce ull dealing in this precious metal—the oddity of a leather pouch held by bne pers son pouring out the dust into a scale, and another with a spoon, nicely balancing it. You seldom hear the rin of coin--gold dust is the circulating medium; althou, within the last month, probably more than $200,000 in coin have been brought here from below, for the pur- chase of the dust, by speculators, It is now selling for $16 the ounce ; still the dust is the tender. Owing to the inclemency of the season, there hasbeen but little digging at the mines since the early part of December—but at some of the forks they have been digging with great success. In about # month hence, the excitement will begin, with an increase of som teen hundred new comers—representatives of every nation, and they are still coming, all bound for the mines—wives, children, and all—to combat with toil, sickness and hardships, and danger, to secure their fortunes--that they may get, but with the loss of health to enjoy it. It is strange to seo what will be endured, what suffering will be encountered, for the sake of this tempting dust. Within the last month, upwards of five hundred stran- gers haye arrived kere, and are fitting out for the inines—and it is said that numbers besides are on their way in different yersele from Valparaiso, Callao, and, otier ports, ‘The town is literally crammed, and every houee, private and public, is full, Where all can get accommodated, I do not know; and if there are thirty thourand more on their way'from tho States, as it is reported, it is difficult to say what will be donc—but one thing that is fortunate, provisions are plenty at present, that is, flour, bread, pork, hams, coffee, rice, and tea; but fresh meat and vegetables are very scarce at this time—freeh beef and pork have been out of the market for the last week; the little that is brought in is bought up readily, Beef sold this morning at $20 per gr.; fresh pork 25 ete, per Ib.; butter is fl; cheese $1; hams the enmo; flour $18 per bbl.; pork $35 to $40; bread $30; coffee 1éc.; rice 10c.; teas’ 60c. to 100c. por per Ib. Board $12 per weck; washing §6 per-doz.; labor $6 to €10 per day; wood $10 per load. about haif acord; bricks $60 to $80 m.; Iumber $150 m.; and town lots sell high from $6,000 to $20,000. ‘And notwith- standing these exorbitants rates, everybody is doing ; we have no poor folks, and’ mechanics of every trade are bury—buildings are going up on every ride, and, indeed. it is surprising to sce the operations of this place at the present time and compare it with some four or five months back. There are now some twelve or fifteen houses under erection, and, in fact, when all are finished, and the other improvements in contem- Intion, inthe way of churches, warchouses, public uildings, &e., are completed, wo shall have as fine a town here as you will see at home—and as for location, will surpass, or at least equal, our largest seaports. It wil not be long before San Francisco will become one of the wonders of the “world—if it has not already bo- come so. It is destined to be unrivalled by any—and the home of the nabobs, .. The National Intelligencer gives the following items :— A letter has been received in this city from an officer en board the United States storeship Lex- ington, dated Valparaiso, Feb. 28, 1849. The Lex- ington had had a tedious, but otherwise pleasant passage from San Francisco to Valparaiso, whence the was to sail in a day or two for the United States, touching at Rio a week or ten days, for re- freehmente, &c. It was expected by her officers that she would reach New York by the first of June, All were well on board the Lexington. She brings home about $400,000 in California gold. We have been favored with the annexed letter from an officer on board the United States ship Ohio, in the Bay of San Francisco, to an officer of the government in Washington: 1 have just returned from an exploration of the gold region, and avail myself of the opportunity afforded by Mr. Wethered to rend you a few specimens of gold dust commonly found in various parts of the placer. Tho Lexington being 6n the eve of sailing, afd every mo- ment of fmt hati occupied tn pi ing despatches to be sent by ber, I cannot write you fully at nt, but will do myself the honor to forward you by the over- land route @ detailed account and description of the long-rought and at last discovered “ F] Dorady.” You may be prepared to believe a great deal, whon I assuro ‘ou I have seen no written or published account which has not been verified by ocular proof. | hazard nothing in saying that more than five millions of dollars, at sixteen dollars the ounce, have been alrcady obtained from the crevices of the roeks, picked up in the sands of dry creeks, or washed out of the diggings of gullios, and this with the rudest of implements—ea pick, spade, often only # jackknife and a woodenbowl. A large amount has been sent away, and the Lexington will take wp- wards of three hundred thousand dollars in dust, moat of which has been purchased at from eight to twelve Gollary the ounce. As you may suppose, in euch a state of things, everybody seems to be run d, and other employments and occupations are abandoned—farm, workshop, office, all are left, and every one is either joing, gone, or returning from the mines. ‘The price of fivor'and provisions have risen in proportion to the scarcity produced by the megiect of agriculture, the in- ¢reased consumption, and the abundant menue of poy: ing ih geld for the indulgence of every appetite. I have only time to suggest the epeedy aetion of Con- gress to this effect. Let there be no sale, appropria- tion, leaee, or grant of the gold lands; no ront or tax on the digging. Let the whole be open and free to every one; but eelablieh, as soon as possible, an aaraying office at this place, where all gold dust to be exported from California rhall be cast into bars or ingots, and stamped With the trae weight and value, upon payment of the fame ratos as are now charged for coining at the United States mint,and with the further privilege of having there Luxe or ingots coined free of charge on delivery iu the United States, This eperation will faye the gov- ernment the cxpense of » host of collcetors and other officers; indeed, I might ray, w mighty “ army of ocet- pation,’’ if it were even péssible to kéép auch @m army tive to iheir colors. The bars would be proferred in trade end commerce, and would serve better than coin in trade with other countries, particularly China, the Eat Indies, as well as many parts of South Ameries, if notin kurepe, &e, ¥ . The Borton Tyareller gives the following extract of a letter, dated Varranaito, Mareh 4, 1949. Reports from California continue very favorable. Near a million of dollars from therein gold ling been recvived here, or passed to Europe. Speculators from here, vp to this moment, have made immense profits One'firm rent a cargo worth $40,000, aud will realize $40,000 or $00,000 profit. The Dantsh War.

The Belgian governm has recently published s statistical account of the emigrants embarked jn Ant- werp during the year 1848, the following extract of whieh will perhaps not be without interest to this community :— The emigrants embarked during the said year, were 11.073 in number, while in 1844 they were only 2.961, and in 1845, 6.231. That number is inferior yet tothose of the two preceding years, (13,187 in 1846, and 15 430 in 1847.) A proportionate decrease is observable in the other ports of emigration, such as Bremen, Rotterdam, and especially Havre, and may be attributed to the po- litical events that occurred, at the beginning of the sea- son of departure, in France and Germany. It may be said, however, that the number for the present year, cording to appearances, ix likely to show again a con- siderableincrease. Most of the emigrants embarking at Antwerp are Germans ; hitherto very few Belgians have emigrated. The vessels employed for their transporta- tion were 66 in uumber, mostly bound to New York. Antwerp affords great advantages and facilities for the embarkation of emigrants coming from Germany. Since 1843, their baggage is carried free on the Belgian rail- way, and the same privilege has been recently extended to them on the Prussian railway, from Cologne to the Belgian frontier, besides a reduction ef thirty per cent on the fare of passengers, and a similar reduction on the tariff of the Rhinish steamers of the society of Cologne. The Belgian goverument has adopted various other measures for the benefit and protection of emi- grants, A special commissioner has been appointed in Antwerp, to act in behalf of the emigrants, and prevent them fromsbeing imposed upon or otherwise vexed. An office is open, every day. for the purpose of receiving their complaints, and procuring them just redress; this institution has already rendered them great service. At the same time, the judiciary authorities aud police keep & watchful eye on a certain class of people calling themselves agent, or commissioners of emigrants, who are unavoidably to be found in all ports of emigration, Most of these people are foreigners, who have come to Antwerp with the view of ombarking. and have finally settled there for want of means, contriving to live at the expense of their countrymen, whom they intercept immediately on their arrival. The most severe orders have been given on this subject, as well as the neces- rary warnings to the emigrants, AUGUSTE MOXHET, Consul-General of Belgium, New York, April 12th, 1849, INTE. From 8, Fe.— Republican of the 16th of Februar “Notwithstanding all the treaties of peac h have been made with the various tribes of Indians about and among us, the Navijos have again re- commenced the exercise of their thieving propen- sites. A number of these red-skinned tlties of ours, recently made a foray in the vicinity of the town of Tome, and drove off some two or three thousand head of sheep. The detachment of Dra- ‘cons stationed at Tome had become so much re- uced in numbers, from various causes, as to be unable to give immediate pursuit. As soon, how- ever, as the fact was reported to Lieut. Taylor, commanding at Albuquerque, he promptly des- atched a. party in pursuit; but as the depredators fad by this time gotten a start of some thirty hours, it is feare ceseful. Z From the reports of the party just arrived from the Rio Abajo, with the paymaster, we are in- formed that in crossing the Jornada del Muerto (at the Laguna) ay, found two wagons loaded with Paso wine and brandy, the aianls of which had been stolen by the Apaches. A quantity of the liquors also appeared to have been destroyed. ‘The party took possession of the remainder, and LX that the pursuit will be unsuc- brought it to Socorro, where they found the own- ere, and delivered the property. A number of men (Mexicans) who had accompanied the wa- ‘ens, were found scattered along the road between the Laguna and San Pedro. 2 It is to be hoped that government will soon send usa sufficient force to enable us to compel an ob- servance of treaties with these border robbers. No treaty with them will ever be effectual that is not based originally on a sound flogging and the certainty of a‘repetition of the punishment on a re- petition of the offence, Speaking of the gold mines, near that place, the same paper says:—The attention of many persons is being tumed to the gold mines and eres 80 abundant in this territory. We have heard the most flattering accounts of the abundance of gold to be found at the great Sangre de Criste gold mines, about eighty miles north of Don Fernandez de Taos, and we have seen the sworn declarations of some-of the most respectable citizens of Taos valley, us to their visits to these mines, which af- ford the most ample evidence of their great wealth. Oribees, a, respectable citizen of the Arroya, Don Carlos Ortives, on a yisit to these mines, worked three days with nothing but a wooden shovel, did not dig more than half a yard, and obtained eighty dollars in gold. Four others, in the year forty- three, brought in five hundred dollars in gold dust, after ten days’ work. .The great difficulty which has heretofore prevented the working of these mines has been the war between the Utas and Mexicans, and since the entrance of the Americans, the war with the Apaches; but, since a treaty with the Apaches has been made by Gov. Washington, we hope to see them actively worked and explored. The proprietors of the Sangre de Criste claim, and who have a title from the Mexican government, are poor men, without capital to work the mines, and have empowered Captain St. Vrain, of this place, to form a company for working them. If this is done, we have no doubt that it will greatly benefit the northern part of the territory. We have the promise of more information in relation to these mines, which, ata future time, will be preeented to the readers of the Republican. Cots Fremont.—This gentleman, says the St. Louis Republican, of the same date, arrived here this afternoon (Thureday, in advance of his party, from Don Fernandez de Taos. He will leave so soon as the remainder of his party shall have join- him, probably in a day or two, for his ultimate destination. “We regret to learn that Mr. Fremont has Jost ten men out of thirty-six, the original number with which he started, by cold and hun- er, The health of Capt. Cathcart, late of H. B. M. Army, who accompanied the expedition as an amateur, has been 60 much impaired by exposare und privation, as to compel him to relinquish the further prosecution of his project. He will leave for the United States as soon as the state of his health will admit. 3 , The Philadelphia North American of the 12th inst. says:—Letters, we learn, have been received in this ‘city from Taos, New Mexico, written b’ members of Col. Fremont’s party, confirming in al eseential particulars, the accounts previously had of the sufferings of the expedition among the tnows of the Sierra Madre, and the arrival of the eurvivors at Taos. on the 10th of February. Among there, we are happy to say, were the Messrs. Kern of this city. . The Cincinnatti Globe, of the 7th inst, says:—By a private letter, received yesterday, by a gentle- mon in this city, from his brother in Santa Fe, brought to Independence by one of Col. Fremont’s own men, we learn thet that gentleman, after re- lieving his men from their perilous position in the mountain, returned to Santa Fe, where he equi d a new company, and proceeded down the Rio jrande 150 or 200 miles, and thence to the Gila, and down that stream to its confluence with the eloraio, thence on @ north-westerly course to the ‘acl . 5 Interestixna rrom Penv.—For a few years part, thi. country, the former theatre of so many scenes of do meatic diecord and revolution, has enjoyed a peace which we had hoped might long continue, By the last nail, which brings dates from Lima to the 13th of March, we learn that a conspiracy against the government had been sct on foot, and was on the eve of execution, when, on the 2ist of February oy order of the government, the police ecized the | ing conspirators, and the plot was disclosed; which it ix eaid, involved the asearsination of the President, and selzure of the rein of government, General San Roman, a member of the Council of State; General Lisandi, Col. Ortiz, Col. Espinoza, and Colunje, a na- tive of New Granada, the noted assassin of General Armaga, together with several other conspirators of lees note, were embarked on board a rmall schooner, which railed en the 7th of March under sealed ordei and for parts unknown, Gen. Torrico, another of ruepected, had taken refuge in the house of Mr. Clay, the United States Charge d'Affairs. After the arrest of General San Roman, the govern- ment offered h'in a passport to any port on the Atlan- tié, and the continuation of his fall pay, provided he would voluntarily absent himself from Peru—accom- panying this offer with a proviso, that, if he did not ac- cept the terms stipulated, his tran tion to parts not as agrenble as he might hintecif releet, would be the conkequence. Claiming his privileges, a#amember of the council, he declined the offer made by the go- vernment, ond was sent away, as before stated, destined, ais is euppored, to rome part of Aria. The sons of ex- patrinted parties laid their complaints before the coun- cil, which, after pasting (as the law requires) three no- tifieations to the Excentive, declared its responsibility for infringing the constitution, in hot putting the aceured parties at the dieporal of the tribunals of the coutitry, and claiminy the person of San Roman, ae a incmber of the council, was inviolable. ‘The Pre: fident diseented from the opinion of the council, aud declarations and ¢laims were of no avail, Ari extraor- dinary Congress has been convoked, for the first of Muy. which will either give or withhold its canction to the acts of the Executive, San Roman and Terri¢o are noted revolutioniets, eneral Castilla, the President of Peru, is believed to have the interert of his country at heart; but the con- atitutional powers of the Executive are too limited for the preservation of order, where the military are con- stintly making disturbances, Personal aggrandixe- ment alone setuates Peruvian revolutioniste, Should the Congress not approve the acts of Presi- dent Castilla, we fiar Peru will see trouble.—Journal of Commerce Particulars of the Recent Insurrection at St. Lucta—Eight Perso [From the Barbadian, March 14.) The only important news which we can collect for | the readers of this day’s paper has been received from St. Lucia, and this intelligence is of a paiuful charac- ter, and comes quite unexpectedly upon us. We never supposed that an emancipated peasantry, enjoying all the inestimable privileges of a rational freedom—astate which, compared with somecountriesin Europe, is really a happy one, should have been so ungrateful for the | boon conferred upon them, as to commence w revolt | against the constituted authorities,aud put themselves | into a violent opposition to the law of the land. happily, however, this has been the case ini the boring island of St. Lucia: at least there has been « partial rebellion, for we have not been informed of the outbreak being general. The Northern Colonial steamer on Sunday last brought this disagreeable news, It appears that a land-tax had been laid for several curs Which the peasantry, as well as others, have wen paying; but they seem to have been practised upon by some mischievous agitators, supposed to have been some French refugees from Martinique, fellows who have, no doubt, been infected with the red-hot republicanism of their mother coun- try, and their feelings haye been worked upon at last toa determination to resist the law, On the 6th in- stant, some hundreds of those deluded people entered the town of Castries in a tumultuous and violent man- her, with gesticulations and threatenings of a sanguina- Ty Haturo | demanding that they should be relieved of the tax. ‘The police were called out, andas many special constables sworn in as the limited population of the town would afford. The magistrates placed themselves at the head of the constabulary force, and went out to meet the insurgents, On requiring that they should re- tire peaceably. and warning them of their danger if they persisted in rebellion, the police officers received a show- er of stones and other missiles, such as broken bottles, &c.,and some of the police were struck. ‘The insur- gents also threw immense stones into the house of Go- yernor Darling, whose life was in imminent danger.— ‘They seemed determined to carry their point if they could, und treated the civil power with contempt. The magistrates again remonstrated with them, and the riot act was read twice, but with noeffect. The erisis then appeared a serious one, and His Excellency the Lieut Governor raw the necessity of ordering the inilitary out, A part of the 54th regiment, and of the 3d West india, consequently were quickly on the spot, and under vie commund of the magistrates attacked the insurgents, Seven men of them, and one woman, fell by the tire of the troops, and the insurgents fled in all directions. Some of them were armed with cutlasses, but the great- er part oppored the force rent aguinst them with large stones and croken glass bottles. We regret to hear that they had previously set fire to the buildings on several estates, and had burned some ficlds of canes; the inhabitunts of Custries were under great dread of seeing the town set fire to. Weare to hope that the reinforcement so promptly ordered from this island by his Excellency Lieut. General Berkeley, by the steam- er ‘Thames, on Monday, has. by this time, effectually suppressed the rebellion. ‘This reinforcement consists of, uccording to the statement in yesterday's Mercury, a field officer of the garrison, one captain, three subal- terns, and 100 rank and file of the 72d regiment, to- rt. TWO CENTS. Theatrical and Musical, Aston Ptacr Orena Hovsr.—The benefit of M. Max Maretrek, or rather the soiree @adieur of the beautiful ‘Truff, and Signor Benedetti, took place last evening, at this splendid theatre, which was thronged on that oe- casion as it has never been before, All the seats were occupied by handsome ladies and refined gentlemen, and many were so unfortunate as not to find room inside, and were listening to the thrilling sounds of the music from the lobbies of the theatre, The cele- brated opera of Verdi, “Ernani,” the most triumphant part ever sang by Signorina Truffl, was performed b: the whole company, and was rendered with mueh brii- Nancy of execution, and great ensemble. Siguor Bene- detti was in excellent yoice, as well as the basso, Novel- li, whose role of Sylva is very well suited to his musical powers. ‘The part of the ki i allotted to Signor Taffa- nelli, the newly arrived baritone, was a splendid piece of ucting, as well as singing. His metallic and sono- rous voice pleased every body, and, with thi exception quelques agremens of his own, which we did not think of irreproachacle taste, he gratified all his hearers, aud he Accordingly was rewarded with much applause, The choruses were also excellent, and the orchestra, wider the baton of their leader manceuvred in great atylo, At the clore of the third act, after the beautiful finale, which Ag Usual, was cneored, the guatnor of artistes were called.» before the curtain, and also xt the end of tho perform ance, when we saw many handkerchiefs w: heard many sweet voices bidding # la t farcweil aid good prospects to Signorina Trufi, Benedetti. and Rost, who are leaving our city ou their musical tour with M7 Hers, A splendid wreath was throwa at the foot of the fair cantatrice. In short, this perfor sare: will be long remembered in our city, clever and funny charge of Signor Sanquir co in the costume of Doctor Dulcamara, of Doniaetti’s *Hlosir @ Amour,” made by Garbeilie, the celebrated Froneh rculptor, was much admired by the coanoisseure, who’ were numerous around the pedestal upon wich it had been placed, This carricature is one of the best yet sxceuted by the author of the admired but of Genial Taylor. Bowery Turatne.—We have but to record the con tinued success whieh the new picee of the “ Power of Gold” meets with at this house, Every evening that it has been played, the theatre has been crowded! in every part; and the long continued applause with which their efforts are greeted must be very satisfactory to the talented actors who enact the principal parts. Gilbert, Jordan, Hall, Duff, &e., all do their utmost, and Miss Wemyss gains new laurels by her impsrsonac tion of the Jew’s daughter. We have already spoken. of the splendid imanner in which the soenie a tumery departments are arranged in this piece, be seen by all who are desirous of witnessing to whab lengths magnificence in stage affuirs are oarried now-a- days wt our great theatres. Now, let us aay a word. or two regarding the new ballet divertissement whieh has been lately produced under the supervision of Mr. G. Smith. It is a most clegant ballet, and as the charming Ciocca and the favorite Neri, and Mr. G. W. Smith himself sustain the principal parts, it is danced in the most graceful and beautiful atyle. It will doubte ing and gether with a company of the 2d West India regiment, under the command of Major Mitchell, of the 66th re- giment. Extracts from a private letter to gentleman in this ieland, appeared in Monday's Globe, containing particulars, which we have taken the liberty to trans- fer to our columus:— Sr. Lvcta, 10th March, 1849, You will be much surprised to hear of revolt or in- turrection among some of our negro population, which heretofore were celebrated for good behavior ; {roi what has passed, the Martinique 8 or runaway tlayes are the chief cause or leaders of this servile warfare, Amonget our imporitions there 1s @ land tax of four shillings per acre on cultivated land; these refugees chiefly reside in the Gros Islet, or northern quarter of the colony, and many are located on lands held by Dr. Robinson, from whence short and easy roads communi. cate with Castries, for the vent of provisions, &c., and obtaining supplies in return. Many have objected to, and avoided payment of this tax, and latterly infected the rame principles to their neighbors, exciting them to discontent, most audacious insult of government, and eventually to brigandage, Last week several came with an unsigned petition to the Governor ; on Monday the Sth instant, some 50 or 60 demanded an answer, with menaces if they wero not relieved from the tax ;—tho magistrate of the district reasoned with them, and used every endcayorto induce them to #eparate quietly; they beeume the more outrageous, when the few police wo have, exerted themselves to’ arrest one or two of the leaders; but they felled the police with stones, and poured ‘volleys into. the windows of the government cflice, where the Governor was, until four or five of the 2d Wert India Regiment came, when they fled; this ceeurred #0 unexpectedly that’ the inhabitants’ were less have @ long run at the Bowery. ‘The ever popular “Putnam” has been received at this house in all ite pristine glory, and Mr. J. H. Hall, as the gallant and daring old Israel Putnam, nightly gallops down the pres cipitous declivity of those famous steps ina manner worthy of the greut general whose part he plays. When such admirable bills ure nightly presented it te no woue der that the house is so crowded anit is. We see se- veral novelties ure underlined as shortly forthcoming, Broapway Tuvarne.—It is related of an Eastern Prince, it may have been the great Aurenzobe for aught we know, that, being atiated with the pleasures of life, and unable to find any gratification in the daily rows tine of amusementa prepared for him, he caused to be proclaimed throughout his dominions, that the man who should invent a new pleasure—something able to exeite the deadened palate of the too happy monarch— should be rewarded with gold equal to bis desire, and honor equal to his utmost ambition, ‘The manager of a theatre is placed somewhat in the position of one who in incessantly racking his brains how to find amuse- ment for a very dainty, a very capricious, and a very despotic monarch—that ir, the public. This time howe ever, the spirited manager of the Broadway hag sue-) ceeded in pleasing his mujesty, the Public, by providing an entertainment fit, from its regal magnificence and ! oriental splendor, “to set before w king.” ‘That beau- tiful pageant, “The Enchantress,” commands the ap- plaure and admiration of all who witness it, aud dtuws nightly « crowd of admirers. who gare with untirod and untiring delight upon the magnificent spectacle before them. This evening Mr. Reeves takes hia bene- fit, a gentleman who has contributed much to the s cess of thin piece, and deserves a bumper from the pub- astonished. Soon after, it wus reported that a 1 assembly of negroes was on the Chausee or road-at cast end of the Castries, menacing other outrages ; the Commissary of Police, going to reconnoitre, was felled with a stone on his head. In the meantime special constables were assembling, and a detachment of the 54th came from the garrison, who, with the magistrates, proceeded toChaursce, where they found upwards of two hundred: negroes, atmed with sticks, stones, and cutlasses—these were driven off,and some 20 or 80 arrested. They ran towards Gros Islet and made a stand, when, being further pressed by the constables, whom they pelted with stones, some few random shots were fired by the military, to intimidate or induce them them to retire—-on which the troops and constables re- turned to town at about 2 P.M. “They had sent emissaries out to the country, and previous to 3 P. M. they were seen approaching to town in large bodics, armed with cutlasses, &e., &e., and taking up @ position at the north end of the Chaussee, with an abandoned house on an eminence in their rear, where they found stones and glares bottles, extending themeclves through the bushes to enother road. The constables and military proceeded to the epot; the ma- gistrates went forward and warned them of the conse- quences, earnestly entreating them to retire; the riot act was read twice and explained; they thea demanded that the prisoners made should be released, and ono ringleader came forward more insolent than the rest; it was now near six o’clock, the constables seized on him; he resisted; immediately a volley of stones, glass bot tles, &c., were showered an the constables, and one sol- dier was struck down by a large stone; the magistrates gave orders to fire; a platoon of four or five did so, but made little impression; stones came more rap’ firing then became general, when they fled, le: feven men and one woman dead, and two wounded on the road; more made their ovcape or were carried off, ax they Were not pursued. Patrol: formed to protect the town during the night, and anxious were the anticipations of what might be done in the coun- try; there they burnt the megass house, and Inige fields of the best canes on the’ Bon- neterre extate belonging to Mr. Muter ; also some canes on Bois d’Orange ahd Corinthe estates ; anda large megass house ou Marquis estate; other mischief was st- tempted. Alarming reporte came in from the country next moraing, and communication with Gros Islet by land was cut off; entreaties were made to the Goveruor to send a small detatchment of troops to Gros Islet, but vacillation, disbelief, and undetermined acting was “the order of the day,” and he could not harrass the troops! Thet evening most alurming intelligence was brought by canoe from Gros lulet. During the night the mill and works of Bell \ ue estate were burnt, and some cafes onthe Union extate : this at last caused an order for 20 men of the 3rd. W. I. Regimentgwith a magistrate, &e.,to proceed to Gro here much tardi French mat stead despatching them in boate which would have landed them in three hours, they did not land till next j morning, During the night the mill, works, aud megass houses un Corinth estate were burnt, two | hogeheads of sugar of Union estate were rolled into the sea, another broken open and gutted.— Benusejour estate was to be destroyed next ; but the arrival of the military, magistrates, &c., changed the scene. Constables-eollected, arrests were murte, conservative measures taken, and carly next morning a battue’’ was made into the locality from whence all | this has emanated; more arrests were in and some fourid wounded. We are now in comparative tranquil- | lity: this, as you may imagine, has caused much auxie- | ty, and put a cheek to business; fortunately, all other | quarters are quiet, and it is pleasing to know that the few late imported Africans, lycated at Gros lalet Qu ter, exerted themselves to extinguish the fires, and ur. | reeked two of the partics accused. A policeman was at Union estate, on Monday ; on returning to town, was prevented, with threais of violenee if he proceeded; he stated that large numbers were collecting, and Marching to town, when, at] v'elock, they wereecnecked | by the runaways, with accounts of their having been fired on, &e. It is evident, that if they had deferred their movement to a later hour, and been joined by the others, they might have burut and pillaged the town on Monday night, for it fs probable the troops would havo Teturued to the garrison, and the inhabitants would hot have been so much on their guard. “What reflections will be made on this at home?

M, Scott, and it is needless to ray the house was filled to repletion, for such is the case every night. The inimitable Chanfrau, in hie famous character of Mose. kept the audience convulsed with luughter, while the other characters were sus-! tained with marked ability,and to the delight of ald present. The great variety of performance was just the thing for #0 praiseworthy an occasion, and never did the talented corps of the National appear to better: advantage. For to-night « splendid bill is offe the houre is ture to be filled. The pieces offered ate’ The Brigadier,” and “Mose in Culifornia,” and fousin Joe” will be repeated. The bill is replete with interest, and we would advise those who desire to spend a pleasant evening to go to the National, where such a treat will be offered aa will raise the spirits of the most melancholy, and fill with delight all who wit- ness the perforinance. Bunton's Tuearne.—As usual, this delightful little theatre was last night filled to its utmost eapacity, witht an admiring and delighted audience. The burlesque opera of “ Lucy Did Sham Amour” was played. inwhich Mirs Chapman, in her uncgualled style, sustained the character of Lucy, tothe perfect satisfaction of the whole house. She was in fine voice for her part, and the np- roarious applause of the audience evidenced their preeiation of her personation of the character. "Tho part of Edgardo, by Mr. Meyer, was excellent. He has a right fonception of the character, and plays it to the life. The sther characters were suatalned with Gue effect. The new satirical drama of “Socialism” was received with thunders of applause, aud it is. not, strange, for the odd appearance of Mr. Fourier Grisley by roughum is of iteelf sufficient to excite the mirth of the most sedate, while the popular Burton, aa Mr. Menny, who ie always welcome on the boards, in- dulges in his comic sayings and doings till the house fairly shakes with the abundance of mirth which abounds. “Forty Winks” is a good piece, and was re- ceived with great favor. To-night the “Broach of Promise” will be prekented, in which Mr, Burton will sustain the part of Ebenezer Sudden, The piece is finely cnet, and must be received with favor. ‘Tue Iravvax Orens Trovrr ix Bostox—A Carn The members of the late Italian opera troupe most rea- pectfully take this method of expressing to the citizens of Boston their unfeigned gratitude for that generous Patronage and sympathy whieh have been so kindly extended to them, at a time when the dark clouds of, adversity seemed to dim even the brightness of that sunshine of prosperity and encouragement, which has ever gladdened the efforts of the stranger in the noble city of Boston.
