The Clay Festival Last Evening—Singular Movement, We give, in another column, a graphic and ac- curate report cf the extraordinary proceedings which took plie on occasion of the celebration of the birth- ay of Henry Clay, at the Apollo Saloon last evening. This movement, on the part of certain portions of the whig party in this city, is very significant, and cannot fail to excite a great deal of attention throughout the country. It would seem that the threats of the disappoint- ed office-seekers, which have been thrown out of late in several whig journals, here and elsewhere, did mean something. ‘The designs and purposes of this section of the whig party now be- gin to be shadowed forth with considerdble distinctness. It is apparent that certain of the old whig leaders and hangers on of the party, acting from various motives, are de- termined to form some species of organized hos- tily to the present administration, picking up the fragments of the old platform, which was demo- lished at the Philadelphia Convention, and after patching them up as best they may, assuming that as the basis of their operations. Thus we had, Jast evening, the ancient admixture of “ free soil” — “no military chieftain”—“ ultra whiggery”—and the “ mill boy of the slashes”—all betokening any- thing but a friendly spirit to the new adminis- tration. Indeed, the language of some of the speakers was so violent as rather to transcend the bounds of delicacy and decorum; and yet, as will be seen from the report of the festival, it was re- eponded to by the most enthusiastic applause. Well, we shall see the result of this singular effervescence. We educe from it fresh proof that the heroic old man at the head of the administra- tion lives and moves and has his being in an at- mosphere ifar removed from the exhalations of party politics. He will be able to appreciate the motives and conduct of mere partisans. He owes nothing to party. He was the choice of the peo- ple ; selected by them in opposition to party leaders and party journals, whose contemptuous disparage- ment of his claims was only echoed at the meet- ing lust evening, though some of them are loud enough in his praise just now; and it isto the great body of the people that he must look for sup- port. So long as he abides by his declarations and pledges, he can behold unmoved all factious oppo- sition. Vauvr anv Erriciency or rug Trve@rari.— Our readers are aware that for some time past we have received the European news from Halifax by horse express, and from St. John, New Bruns- wick, a distance of about seven hundred miles, by telegraph. The man who would have, ten years since, predicted such a thing, would have been pronounced at least an enthusiast, if not a maniac. Such, hcwever, is the fact; but great as have been he triumphs of genius in this respect, the art of magnetic telegraphing is yet in its infancy. In connection with the subject of reseiving fo- reign intelligence from St. John by telegraph, we must bear witness to the promptitade and efficien- cy which characterize the management of the line between this city and Boston. It is certainly managed well, as we have reason to know. It is rarely, indeed, that we have reason to complain of it, for its performances are such as, even to those who are predisposed to fault-finding, are satisfac- tory. The efficiency of its management was well illustrated a few days since, just before the arrival of the steamship Niagara, with two weeks’, nearly, la- ter intelligence from Europe. On that occasion,some evil disposed persons, between this city and New Haven, undertook to destroy the connection, and for the purpose of making assurance doubly sure, were not satiefied with merely cutting the wires, but destroyed them for a distance of upwards of a hundred yards. Yet this interruption, which oc- curred about two in the afternoon, was remedied by seven o’clock in the evening, at which hour the line was in perfect order. Such diligence is enti- tled to all praise. Another instance of the perfection to which the magnetic telegraph has attained, may be produced by the fact that the Northern line, between this city and Albany, was, as we have before in- formed our readers, in working order, and transacted business, for three hundred and eleven out of the three hundred and sixty-five days of last year. When we take into consideration the novelty ofthe business, this would appear to be almost per- fection ; yet we are satisfied that before long, more than this will be accomplished. As regards the Eastern line, if the operators at the other end on the St. John line were equal to those who officiate at this end of the line, there would never be any cause of complaint. Caurrorsia News Re-uasugp.—A number of our cotemporariea, in the absence of news from California, and in their eagerness to say some- thing about that wonderful land of promise, are digging about town, and in every part of the coun- try, for extracts from old letters, and re-hashing the old stories about the abundance of the gold; all of which have been before the public for months. Some of these silly newspapers go so far as to publish fabrications, invented by scheming fellows who wish to throw a doubt over the truth | of the’ sober realities in that region. We were the first, we believe, to give an account of the gold discoveries, last summer. Our information was derived from our own correspondent, who has re- pided in California for years, and who sent us a specimen of the gold. All authentio intelligence from that region has been given in our columns, in more complete form than in any other journal. ‘We have a number of correspondents in California now, or who will soon be there; and in the course of the next few months we expeet to be able to publish most interesting matter from them. As yetthere are many who doubt the entire authen- ticity of the aceounts which have been received from Culifornia, and regard them as exaggerations which time will pare down considerably. Let us ‘wait ond be patient. Time, the revealer, will try the whole. Apiournmunt or tue Lyarsiature.—Roth branches of the Legiclature adjourned on Wednes- day night last, after performing a vast amount of | work, end pursing a long list of bills, a summary of which will be found in another part of this day's | Paper. The closing scenes, we are happy to say, were dignified and appropriate, and such as they Cught to have been. There was none of the dis- ©rder (to ure a mild term) which characterised the tas hour cf the last session of Congress, exhibited but beth branches adjourned as became w digniti fut ntive Doay. The Recent Charter Election—The Amond_ ‘ ed Charter. The most important feature of the recent charter election in this city, was the submission to our citizens of the amendments to the charter ; and de- cidedly the most important result, was their adop- tion by a very large and overpowering majority. We have at last secured to us a responsible sys- tem of government, which will give us a more economical, perfect and efficient administration of our municipal affairs, than we ever have had. By this charter our city government is assimi- lated very much to the general government at Washington: The Board of Aldermen will resem- ble the Senate of the United States—the members 10 be elected for two years; and the Board of As- sistants will resemble the House of Representa- tives—the members to be elected for one year. The chief executive, the Mayor, will likewise be elected for two years. The most important of the amend- ments is that which separates the legislative from the executive branches. The Common Council ean do nothing but legislate; and after a measure is passed, it goes into the hands of the heads of the executive departments, to which it appropriately belongs. Of these there are several, embracing all the executive business of the city. These departments are subdivided into bureaus, at the head of each of which there wil} also be a chief officer. These comprehend the reforms which we have geeded so long, and it is a matter of deep interestYo all our citizens that they have been at length secured. ‘The new charter will go into effect on the first day of June next; and the first election to be held under it, will take place on the same day as the general State election, in November next. On that day, therefore, our citizens will be called upon to elect their Aldermen and Assistant Aldermen, and heads of executive departments, as the charter pro- vides that the boards elected ut the recent election shall not remain in office after the first Monday of January, 1850. We will, therefore, have two char- ter elections in the year 1849, in this city. Mr. Woodhull, the present Mayor eleet, will continue in office until the first Monday of January, 1851. He is the most fortunate officer of the lot, for he will hold office for nearly two years; while the Al. dermen and Assistant Aldermen, who were elected at the same time, will remain in their seats only until the first Monday of January next. The case, then, stands as follows:—In November next, our citizens will elect a Board of Aldermen, who will hold office for two years after the first Monday of January, 1850; a Board of Assistants, who shall hold office for one year after that day; and the heads of the several departments, who shall hold office for three years. In November, 1850, they will elect another Board of Assistants, and a Mayor instead of Mr. Woodhull, whose term will expire on the first Monday of January succeeding. Under this instrument, the whiga will have an opportunity to redeem the pledges of reform, re- trenchment, and economy, which they gave pre- vious to the last election, and which, in a great degree, contributed to their success. They will have an opportunity, too, to give us clean streets, which we have not been blessed with for many a long day. Nothing strikes a stranger, arriving for the first time in New York, so forcibly as the filthy condition of the streets, the unevenness of the side pavoments, the flooded, dirty crossings, and the general exhi- bition of the absence of all cleanliness. We are glad to see by the following act of the Legislature, which became a law on the 2d April, a few days back, that the Legislature of the State of New York have interfered in the matter, and come to the aid of the citizens by passing a law upon the subject. For the information of housekeepers ge- nerally, we give it in full, asitis importantit should be known and attended to :— An Act 70 Prxvent tHe TiRowina of Orrat ano omen Fi.tny Sunstances in tH STREETS oF THE Cry or New Yorx. The people, &c., do enact as follo Src. 1, No ashes, offal, vegetables, or garbage, shall, at any time, bo cast or nid in any street, lane, or al- ley, in the city of New York, but shall be placed in some suitable vessel for removal. in such manner as the Common Council of said city shall by ordinance dircot, Sxc.2. No dross, cinders, shells, straw, shavings, dirt, filth, or rubbish of any kind whatevor. shall, at any time, be cast or laid in any lane or alley of the said city, or in any public square or place therein. * Sec. 3. The Mayor, Aldermen, and Commonalty of the city of New York, in Common Council convened, are hereby authorized to declare offences against the provisions of this act to be misdemeanors. and to pro- scribe punishments therefor by fine of not more than ten doll nd imprisonment in the city prison of not more than five days. Src. 4, The justices of the Assistant Justices Courts of said city shall have jurisdiction to hear and deter- mine all complaints arising under this statute, Src. 5. This act shali take effect immediately. Now, while we feel quite thankful for small fa. vors, we are bound to express our candid opinion that the above law will only leave things where it finds them, and produce no good effect whatever. In the first place, it leaves in full force one of the most disgusting nuisances ever permitted in a city, and which, we believe, exists in no cityin the world but in New York. That nuisance is, a number of broken dirty pots, tin cans, wooden boxes, over- flowing with ashes, dirt and garbage, placed on the sidewalks in rows, all through the city, kick- ing about among the crowd in the great thorough- fares, and forming as great a blotch and as black a stain upon the appearance of the city as the ge- nius of Cloacina could devise, or the malice of an enemy could suggest. No such filthy sight is tobe seen in London or Paris; and for the benefit of our Corporation, we will tell them how they ma- nage these matters there, without encumbering the sidewalks throughout the day with rows of broken vessels of all sizes, forma and dimensions, filled with garbage, dirt and dust. The way they do it there is as follows. In every house there is a large dust bin, as it is called, into which all the ashes, refuse, dust, &c., accumulated in the house, is daily thrown by the servants. This bin gets filled, perhaps, in a week or less time. The city seavengers’ carts are never seen in the middie of the day, encumbering the streets and carrying away dirt or filth; but early every morning the dustman comes just about the time of opening store, before business com- mences, rings his bell, and wherever he is wanted they call him, and with his shovel and basket he empties the dust bin and conyeys away the dust in his cart. This operatien is done and ended all over the city before 7 o’clock in the morning. Landlords ought to erect such reoeptacles in their houses as much as they do, and ought to, dig vaults for the reception of other inevitable ordure. And it would be just as wise to have no such vaults to houses, and to expose at the doors in earthen ves- sels what is now deposited there, and carried away by night when the vault is full, as it is to have no dust bin in a house, but to put out and expose all the dirt and dust about street doors, and on our crowded pavements, to be seen and admired, as is the practice now, all the day long. Our municipal governors, hitherto, of all kinds, seemed disposed neither to lear nor todo what they ought, if they had any regard for the decency, the comfort, the honor, and the health of our city ; but we trust that the party elect will attend to this and other matters of reform, as soon after boing sworn in as possible. The whig Mayor and Common Council recently elected, will assume power under most auspicious circumstances. Their majority will be as large as they could desire; and if they are animated with a spirit of reform, and wish to correct the mani- fold abuses which the cerruption, extravagance, and waste of previous administrations have in- flicted on our suffering people, they can do so very readily, and lay the foundation of a long retention of the city government. If they give us clean ttreets and an eoonomical administration of the government, they may remain in power as long as they please—aye, fer ten years. It depends on themselves entirely. stv Hes MANN has not yet arrived. ‘The Saray Great Celebration of Henry Clay’s Birth- day at the Apollo Saloon, last Evening— Extraordinary Manifestations of Feeling Singular Developements. The fourth celebration of the birth-day of Henry Clay took place at the Apollo Saloon last evening, under the management of the “ young whigs,” as an association of the particular friends and admir- ers of that eminent gentleman are styled. An un- usually large number of guests assembled, and all seemed to be animated by an extraordinary degree of enthusiasm. The arrangements were excellent, and the entertainment, so tar as the viands were concerned, was got up in the usual good style of the proprietor of the rooms. About eight o’clock the party sat down to supper. There were about six hundred gentlemen at the tables. N. B. Brunt, Esq., officiated as President, assisted by the following Vicw Presidents: — Nicholas Dean, James R. Wood, M, D., A, G. Pock- ham, Jos. M. Price, William 8.

Grnturmex—I received, last evening, your ofttcia letter, stating the purpoxo of a few of my frionds in New York, to celubrate my approaching birthday, and inviting my attendance on the oceasion. Feeling that this honor far transcends any merit I possees, or the value of any public services I over por- formed, I am nevertheloss deeply affected by it, and re- cognise in it a proof of friendship. which excites in my breast sentiments of profound gratitude and thankful- ness. I pray you, gentlemen, to accept yourselves, and to tender to your associates, an assurance of my great obligations and of my cordial and respectful uc- knowledgments, Waiving other considerations, as I have just termi- nated # long yoyage, and & long’ absence from home, it is not in my power, as you anticipated, to accept your kind invitation. Reciprocating with all my heart, your obliging wishos for my health and happiness, I'am, most truly and faithfully, your grateful friend. ie H. CLAY. Messers, N.J Bowditch Blunt, Willis Hall, Benjamin Drake, P. W. Engs, and §, J° Eastman. The rcading of this letter elicited » perfect tornado of applauro—cries of “Here's to you Harry Clay nd the singing of the following ode, in the choruses of which the whole company united, so as to make the welkin ring :— Hail to our old Commander, Our glorious Harry Clay ! Once more with heartfelt welcome We greet his natal day, We truckle not to power, Wo bend no slavish knee, But to the patriot true we yield The homage of the free.

In social glee, with three times three, ‘We greet his natal day. After the enthusiasm of the company had quenched iteelf in equivocal brandy and water, and champsigne that was by no means doubtful, the Chairman gave the next toast:— “Our Country and its Seoond Declaration of Inde- pendence—‘Tho flag that floats at our mast-hoad should be the credentials of our seamen.’—H, Clay.” Music— The Star Spangled Banner.”’ Then came tho next toast:— “Tho President and Vice President of the United States.” Music— President's March.’’ Received with little enthusiasm. At last, some patriot shouted, “Three cheery for Zachary Taylor !”’ to which the response was somewhat doubtful. Thon came a wild cry—“Three cheers for Harry Clay!” and the shouting. stamping and screaming that followed were absolutely deafening. The Chairman then read the following letter from the President of the United States :— Wasninaron, D. C.
