Hereafter, the deuble sheet of the New York Herald will be published every Tuesday morning. | We have come to this conclusion, in order to ac- commodate the vast body of new advertisers who are pressing forward for admittance into the co® Jumns of that edition of our journal. The enter- prise of publishing a double sheet for the benefit | of the business community, has succeeded beyond our moet sanguine expectations ; and although we begin with the issue only of one such sheet week- ly, we mean gradually to extend this accommoda- tion, by publishing a similar sheet, whenever ne- cessary, twice a week, gradually increasing the arrangement, so as to be enabled fully to meet the wants and wishes of this rapidly growing city, by the publication of a double sheet every day. But, for the present—and during the approaching sum- mer, when the activity of business slackens— we shall restrict ourselves to the issue of one double sheet each week ; and Tuesday is fixed upon for the permanent day of issue. Advertisers of all kinds will please take notice of this an- nouncement, and govern themselves accordingly. The Annexation of Cuba—Tho Foreign Po- Mey of the Administration. A few days tince, we gave an outline of the fo- reign policy which, from indications here and elsewhere, we inferred would, in all probability, be adopted by General Taylor and his cabinet, during the present administration. A part of this policy— that in regard to the annexation of Cuba—was rep- resented to be non-intervention in the affairs of that island, a relinquishment of the negotiations which were commenced by the administrationof Mr. Polk and the Spanish ministry, and no interference at all with that island, unless an attempt should be made by Spain to transfer it to some European power. ‘When we take into consideration the spirit which 19 at work in this age of the world, it ap- pears evident that nations and governments are controlled more by circumstances than circum: stances are controlled by them. If we could con- trol the relations of the island of Cuba, sucha policy as has been adopted, as we are informed, by the administration, might be followed. But is there no prospect of the question of the annexation ef Cuba being forced upon the people of the United States before the present administration shall have run its course?’ We think there is. The in- habitants of Cuba’ are themselves desirous of hav- ing their island annexed to the United States. The feeling there is forcibly described by one of our own corretpondents, who says in a letter re- eently addressed to us, and published in this jour. nal:— The longing for annexation is universal on this island. am i whites, and many of thea ed their desire by sober reflection on their present position and probable destiny, They feel an insecurity in existing wifairs, which places thei at the merey of any ove of # thousand court follies or accidents, “Tbry know the natural wealth and capa- Dilities of the irland—the advantages of American in- dustry and enterpri They have not been wholly in- attentive to the rapid progress of our nation in wealth, learning. and prosperity —to its triamphs in arts and they bave reasoned on our strange victories rior numbers in Viexieo—strange to them. be- viously our military prowess was not prop-r- ly appreciated: ‘and they feel that. under such protec tion. they might defy wll foes Our ships enter their harbors and they have lb arved our commercial strength and enterprise ‘They understand th. fusular perition would. und: Them vast maritime advantages, aod that it demands othe allinues of & strong naval power yved for years the jomlousy of tnglead and bave become well informed of Che fraite of British abolition, ‘Shey tind ther tade with their wad Dearest neighbors fettercd with onerous restrictions merely to eurich # profligate court and family Uhre thowand miles away, or Lo secure corrupt favorites or indolent provinces *calth and pleasure at the expense Of thie distant island = ‘They see Spain tardy and -ling- gich. lingering behind other nations in the great Of improvenvent. and clinging with Uae great to obsolete views because all he workd ly ndvancing. ‘They wud what ix by feel Spanish connect but injury: ae vanble the a different govermment, give y mo supremacy i te feeling thus. they ace The statements in this letter are entitled to the fullest reliance, and we betieve depict the real sentiments of the people or Cuba, The statements, therefore, which appear occasionally in some American jouruals, that the Cubans are satistied with their ex ion, and would prefer to remain aa they are, rather th annexed to the Ameri- can republic, « eould such st what people hout fi ies be otherwise t ft ulation, Nor in fabulous; for werld, aad to this idence and vas- ple, in any port age, would preter a state of d salage, to one of treedom and \\eyeudene widert sense of the term, sel enjoy in the Surely the people of Cuvido not form an exception to the rest ol the wold. Ifthe they can snake alty 5 and dation to do it in the United States? Cubans are determined to be free, off the Spanish yoke without nach ditite if they ure us united in the deters as we believe them to be, who shall sey that they will wot be indey lore eut long before General Tay administution shell bave ria its course? No one knows what a day may being forth, in this age. Within the short space of twenty-four hours, ggentic revelutions, attended by gig atic conses nences, have been wehieved, within the list two years; and how muny more revolutions will occar, or how many more dynasties will be destroyed, betore the yeur 1852, time alone can develo ‘That there will be great changes before iat time, it is only reasonable to expect ; for the world, and especially the European portion of it, is empl wti- cally in @ state of Gansinen ciety and govern- ment are both underye ity cha and the operation wot be human mewns indevendent before the presidency ot ( lor hall have expired, and the Ww eonded oF st ed by Therefore, if Caba should become acral Tay- aban people shall apply to be wénuited imto our confederacy, the question of annexation will be forced upoa the country, and niust receive our uctention. Again: the provinces of Canada are in a revolu- tionary condition. Recent occurrences in that part of the American continent indicate a separa- tion from the mother country, and the establish- ment of an independent nation, or the annexation of those provinces to the United States. Public opinion there is divided as to which alternative will be taken ; but there is no doubt that one or the other will be adopted before very long. We do not see how it can be avoided. If the rebellion bill, as it is called, be vetoed by the Queen, the whole of Lower Canada will assume the position which the upper province now holds; and if it be allowed, the upper province will, 1n all probability, seek to dissolve the union at present existing between the to provinces, and carry their repeated threats to that effect into force. In either event, it is clear to us that the annexation of the Canadas to the United States is inevitable—is only a question of time—and must take plice, or weal or for wa, be- fore many years shall have elapsed. It may not occur for many years yet, and it may long before the year 1852. Now, if such a proposition were made to the people of the United States, it is easy to perceive that it would not be acceptable to the Southern States, unless the increased anti-slavery influence which such annexation would bring into the councils of the nation, were counteracted, or at least counter-balanced, by a pro-slavery influ- ence from some other quarter. Nor would it be just or proper owards our Southern brethren to annex Canada without taking these things into consideration. The Northern States abolished slavery, simply for the reason that slave labor was unprofitable, and could not profitably compete at home with free white labor. Motives of humanity, | except in rare instances, had nothing to do with the abolition of slavery in the North. We do not believe that the people of the Southern States are a whit less humane than those of the Northern; but we do believe, | that as soon as slavery becomes as unpro- fitable in the South as it became in the North, in former times, it will be abolished there, too, | as it has been in the North. But as this will not occur for some time yet, and as in the meantime there is every probability that the annexation of the Canadas will be agitated, and become an open | question, we must look around us and see whence we can get the pro-slavery influence in our legis- lature at Washington, so as to preserve the balance | of power, as well as the harmony of our political system. To no place can we look but Cuba for it. Aguin: it must be borne in mind that the demo- cratic party, although defeated and broken up in the last presidential election, will in all probability | be reunited, and form a compact, solid, and’ im- posing force, before the next presidential canvass shall have come round. Efforts are being made to reunite that party, and the probability 1s that they will be attended with success. If that party | should be reunited, and should take up the ques- tion of the annexation of the island of Cuba, and should the Cubans remain disposed to form such a connexion, and in the meantime render themselves independent of the Spanish nation, an issue of equal importance, and attended with equal results to that of the annexation of Texas, would be sub- mutted to the people of the United States. The accession of that island would be grasped at, not only for the acquisition which it would be, possessing, as itdoes, a soil and a climate unexcelled in any part of either hemisphere, but from the safety and security it would give us in times of difficulty and danger. The idea has become fixed in the Ame- rican mind, that, at some time or other, Cuba must, in the nature of things, become part and parcel of this confederacy; und of late years, a con- catenation of events seems to indicate that that ume is now not very long off. If such should be the course of the democratic party, then Canada will be taken in, it it be not before that time annexed to the United States. Under this state of things, therefore, and as long as we cannot control cireumstances, we think that the policy which has been determined upon in regard to Cuba, by the administration, will not tend in the slightest degree to defer the annexation of that island to the United States. It will have no effret at all on the great question. The islana of Cuba will be annexed in time, and it depends upon contingencies, very likely to occur at any moment, whether such annexation will take place before the present administration shall have ended its career, or General Tayler re-elected to the presidency. It may or it may not take place within that time; but whatever p»licy the adminis- tration may adopt will have no effect, one way or the other, on the subject. Triat or Watker.—The trial of Thomas A Walker, for the alleged murder of his wife, com- menced yesterday, and attracts great attention, as much, perhaps, from the array of counsel on both sides, as fiom the intrinsic interest of the case, which is well known to the public in its chief de- tuls. The parties in this unfortunate affuir be- longed to what is called the respectable class of society, and prodigious efforts will be made on each side to gain the points contended for by them, Indeed, these trials for grave offences and capital crimes, with the great parade of lawyers on both sides, partake too much of theatrical dis- play, and are not marked sufficiently by that so- lemnity and stern simplicity which should nai- fornily characterize all proceedings in our tribunals of justice. It is also a singular fact, that in miny such cases the popular journals of the day teo frequently are influenced by either one or other of the contending parties. In the present ease, we have been indireetly—we don’t say improperly — approached by the friends of both purties, for the purpese of inducing us to say a kind word to- wards the accomplishment of their hopes. Bat journalism should be as impartial, mm sach un- happy cases, as the court and jury. Jour- nalism, conducted on the highest principles of civilization, is a part of the institutions of our free and happy land, and as much a portion of the age in which we live, and of the goverament, as the Is of public justice, er any other civil in- stitution of the country. Journalists, therefore, owe a duty to their age, their conntry, and the principles of trath and justice, which they are bound to discharge with strict lity and inypartiality, so as to commend themselves to the approbation of their cotemporaries and posterity. The jury in this case were empunelled yester- day, and the trial will -rocved to-day. Tur Crry Avrnonities ano Crry Rerorm.—The élite of the whig party in this city, have reached power under the auspices of a singular streak of good fortune, and have a fair chance of exhibiung those astounding taleats for vigorous and success ful government which are attributed to them by their supporters, Other circumstances are, also, favorable for a display of their abilities in this line. Rervsiic or New Granapa.—In another part of the paper will be found a translation of the inau- gural address made by General Jose Hilaro Lopez, of New Granada, on the occasion of his assuming the office of President of that republic, on the Ist of Aprillast It 18 a well written document, and we commend it to the attention of our readers. It will be seen the General expresses himself very favorably regarding public education, freedom ot the press, religious toleration, and ull the policy so requisite in a well regulated republic. It is, al- together, a most clearly written address, and sin- gularly free from the pompous verbosity in which Spaniards are so apt to indulge. In another point Of view it is interesting, as it shows that this young republic is going on well and favorably, It is too generally thought that nothing but revolutions are going on in the South American States, It is cer- tainly true there have been many ; but then, eon- sidering the circumstances in which they have been pliced ever since the achievement of their inde- pendence—not much over twenty years ago—much allowance ought to be made for them Left by the Spaniards in a most depressed condition as regards education, roads, manufactures, and everything that goes to make a nation; overwhelmed with an enormous debt to England; ina country but thinly peopled, and whose mountainous character made communication from one point to another almost impossible—it is not surprising that they have had trouble and difficulty to contend with, The real matter to be surprised ut 18, how they have advanc- ed so much as they have. General Lopez’s address speaks the sentiments of the vast majority of the Granadians who elected him, and shows that they, at least, know how to try and elev.te their country. That they will do so, in time, we doubt not. Would that we could draw such a favorable picture of Venezuela. That unfortunate country, after attaining a vast deal of prosperity, seems suddenly to have retrograded. Military demagoguism, and the officious inter- ference of foreigners in the politics of the country, have conduced much to this result; and we fear the difficulnes will continue there for some time to come. Tur Pustic Amusements.—One of the most im- portant and influential elements of order and #0- cial government, under the present system of civi- lization, is undoubtedly to be found in the charac- ter and working of public amusements. A:nong these amusements, theatricals hold the first place. The streets are as filthy as could be desired, there are great misery and wretchedness among the boor, and the cholera is apgroachiag. ‘Thus far, the authorities have—according to some—dise vered @ great deal of capacity for vigorous gover ment; though that 1s doubted by others, have been great in the adjudication of theatriea questions: they settled that business with the trifling lows of twenty-three killed, and fifty wounded—not to speak of the honor lost on the Wf they attack the filth and disease which prevail in certain portions of the eity with occasion. the © ¢ degree of vigor, it willbe well, eis quite time for them to be stirring ; tor we fear tru the electricity of the earth and atmosph © will ra across the Alleghanies to ovr Let them at ace order out the nulitary, end have the streets cle f poswible— without the loys of twenty-three killed, aud fifty wounded soon transmit the eb nes and ste THe Nontmaan We ure requested to state that the mail per Northerner, from saa Francisco mw de vp atthe kxchange Reading Room, wont through witbout sale or detention, We believe that nothing could keep such a state of society as prevails in this and other large and popu- lous communities in any degree of order, without the existence of theatres, and other places of pub- lic amusement. Theatres are, therefore, as ne- cessary to social order and social progress, six days in the week, as churches are on the seventh. All the leading theatres are doing a good busi- ness, notwithstanding the émeute at the Astor Place Opera House, with its twenty-three killed and fifty wounded. That disastrous affair was the result of the effort of a little coterie of indis- creet citizens, backed by the civil authorities, to force an obnoxious actor upon a resisting audi- ence ; but it has failed to exercise a prejudicial fluence upon the leading theatrical establishments, which are conducted in a popular manner and spirit. Among the movements in the theatrical line, in the upper region of the city, the most prominent is the rapid progress of Niblo’s new theatre, on the site of his old and famous “Gardens.” We are glad to observe the favorable tokens of the advancement of this new enterprise; for Messrs. Niblo & Hackett, the managers of the Astor Place theatre— or rather Massacre Place Opera House—suffered greatly, in consequence of being under the neces- sity of submitting their judgment to those who as- sumed the control over them. If the respectable committee of old and young exquisites had not taken poor Macready out of the hands of his ma- nagers, and in conjunction with the folly of the city authorities, attempted to force a disagreeable actor upon a repulsive audience, the late lament- able events would never have taken place; but we hope that Niblo—always one of the most popu- lar and deserving men connected with our public amusements—will suffer nothing from the folly of those who compelled bis action in the case. This theatre is rising rapidly from the ground, and as it rises the Opera Housein Massacre Place—we mean —Astor Place—sinks and fades. Indeed, the unfor- tunate and bloody events connected with that affair, coupled with its silly history for two or three years before, willlead to the necessity of closing it al- togetherasa place of public amusement. We would advise the proprietors of Massacre Place Opera House to convert it into a church—into a place for hearing sermons, and singing psalms, and muking prayers, and repenting of sin; for assuredly, there has been enough of sin committed in that region to be repented of in sackcloth and ashes. Crry Financiat Revonm.—We are very much afraid that our anticipations of a reform in the financial affairs of the city, are not likely to be realized. From a recent report of one of the com- mittees of the Common Council, we perceive that the bill for refreshments at Astor Place, during the heroic riot in favor of a foreign actor, amounts to nearly seven hundred dollars! Then it is to be recollected that the e:ty and eounty must put tho Astor Place Opera House into a decent state of repair ; sothat what with the crimson velvat, and Brussels carpet, and costly chandeliers, and splen- did gilding, necessary to make the place fit for the reception of its refined patrons, the whole cost of the decision between the cod-fish aristocracy who would hear Macready, and the cod-fish democracy who would not hear him, will amount to at least ten thousand dollars—all to come out of the pock- ets of the honest republicans of both parties, who refrained altogether from taking any part in the squabble, bot who had twenty-three killed and fifty wounded, for merely loeking on! A very good beginning in the way of inl reform! Tue Punic Hearn. — We have heard a srood deal ubout the unprecedented efforts of the city authorities in cleansing the city. [f the state of Washington street, and the lanes running into it, or of the wharves all along the Nerth and East rivers, be w specimen of cleansing, heaven deliver us from all such cleanliness! The greater portion of the lower wards is filthy beyond description. Could not some slight attempt be made to purify there streets and lanes, reeking with pestilential gases? Could they not be cleansed ata somewhat smaller cost than the loss of twenty-three killed and fifiy wounded ? Prerarations ror tuk N City Constitu- rion —We perceive that Mr. David Graham is en- gaged in making the necessary legal preparations tor putting the new city constitution into opera- tion a8 soon as possible. Mr. Grahuin has a good deal of skill and experience in this sort of legal employment, and doubtless the work will be executed creditably and usefully. This is a very praiseworthy business, and will, we have every reason to hope, be accomplished by the authorities without the loss of twenty-three killed and fifty wounded. Steam Communicayion witn Evropr.—Our readers will peruse with interest a letter in this day’s Herald, signed Ad Le Hardy de Beaulieu, in which the writer takes the position that the city of Antwerp porsesses more advantages than Havre, Bremen, or any other port, tor the terminus of steamships. The information which it contains is very important Marine Atal wera in the ateamehip Faleon, Saturday last for Chagres, was Captain O tneter of the whip Paettie; may remember, wax mnperauded bo at Kio Janeire, by order of the \aierionn Bhortly after bie return to thie oomntry, he J wuthority trom the Scerctary of Mate, Yo take Of Nie Yeor! aad bas procswied vo San jroo for What purpowe Harts ro tux Boston Feixs.—Since the intre- duction of the Cochituate water iate Boston, nearly every person who has a jet in the side-walk before his premises, may be seen with hose in hand, sprinkling the streets, not because it is ne- cessary to do so, but because the entire popula- tion—men, women, and children—are go delighted with the fact that pure and wholesome water guthes, as it were, out of the stones of the street, that they must needs be playing with it all the time. They appear like boys who have become possessed of some new plaything; and on seeing with what delight they use the ptpe and watch the girations in the air of the stream that gscapes from it, one is forcibly reminded of the words of Pope:— “ Behold the child, by mature’s kindly law, Ploused with a rattle, tiokled with » straw!’? —And well they may be pleased ; for they have swallowed lime enough in the well water they have drank during the last twenty-five years, to whitewash every building in the city; and if they are not tickled with the assurance that they have now the privilege secured to them, ‘for all time,” of taking their lime and their water in separate doses, then they cannot be tickled at all. However, that is not what we intended to say when we commenced this article. We intended merely to state our objections to such a wholesale and irregular use of their water. Strangers, and especially ladies, are most excessively annoyed by it. It is almost impossible to walk the streets without wet feet, owing to the flooded state of the sidewalks and crossings; and if it be not soon stopped, the Beston folks will be denounced as the greatest squirts in the Union. We are told that no ordinance has yet been enacted to prevent this silly and wasteful use of the water ; and as such an act is highly necessary, we will give them an extract from the ordinances of this city, in which it is provided that, From the first day of May to the first day of Novem- ber. all persons are forbid to use the Croton water for washing streets. sidewalks, steps or buildings. after 8 A.M. or before T P.M ;and from the first day of Novem- ber to the first day of May following, after 9 A.M., or before 6 P.M., under the penalty of five dollars for each offence, Such an ordinance would work well in Boston, and we hope one will soon be enacted; for such of our readers and correspondents as have occa- sion to visit that city often, complain of the want ot it, If twere done when it is done, then it were well; and if ’twere done quickly, so much the better for all whom it may concern. seh a At heat el Tue Pacirtc Man. Steamet may now consider that Howland and Aspinwall’s Une of steamers on the Pacific is completely organized, and will hereafter rum regularly once a month between Panama ond San Fran- cisco, to touchat one or two intermediate ports, We soo by the advertisement, in another column, that the Panama is tobe commanded by Ceptain D.G@ Bailey, so favorably known as the skilful navigator of the packet ship Yorkshire; the Oregon by Capt. R. H. Pearson; and the California by Captain Thomas A. Budd, both expe- rienced seamen and accomplished commanders. It ls now to be expected that in future we shall receive ad- vices every four weeks from San Francisce, giving u monthly mail from the thousands of Americans who are now pouring into the gold region. Later rnom Havana.—By way of Charleston, wo have received files of Havana papers to the 22d inst., but we find but little of interest in them. We peroeive that Signora Steffanoni, the celebrated singer, who had been laboring under an attack of yellow fever, was re- covering, much to the joy of the dilettants of Havana. Madame Bishop and Bochsa were giving concerts with much success. The rainy season had set in, and the gay Habaneros were prevented from enjoying thelr usual outdoor amusements; but, as the rain was much wanted by the planters, they are all well pleased at it. We do not see any mention made of the prevalence of yellow fever, but we presume yellow Jack is at work, as this is hie usual timo of year for appearing in Cuba. Havana, May 22, 1849. The following table has been prepared with great eare, showing the comparatively monthly export of molasses from Havana, Matanzas, Cardenas and Mariel, up to the lst of May. From tho lst ot May until date there bas been about 4,000 hhds. shipped, and there will probably be about 2,000 more during the month, which will show a decrease in xportation of about 24.000 hhds, to the first of Jun id hi time last year, it shows that up to the Ist of June there have been 20,000 bhda, less shipped to the States than last year. and 35.000 leas than the year before. Upon the best calculation that oun be mi there will g the year, ot be over 16.000 Bhds. more to. ship duri which will show a deficit for 1840, in the exportation, of about 36,000 hhds. less than’ in 1848, and about 42,000 hhda. less than in 1847.
