New York, Tuesday, July 31,1849, President Taylor and his Cabinet, The opposition manifested in various quarters against the present administration, presents, every day, features which provoke ingniry and investiga tion. We confess we,were not prepared for this fierce and violent opposition. There was so much genuine patriotism--so much true American feel- ing—so much independent sentiment exhibited in the great popular movement which found its @ppropriate termination in the election of the hero of buena Vista to the Presidential chair, that we, dm common with the great mass of the intelligent and honest citizens of the republic, were justitied in anticipating an administration of a very nationay eharacter—on administration worthy of compari, fon with that of Washington himself—an admi- nistration freed from those corrupting and polluting influences which have blurred and blotted the re- cords of the federal government during the last ten ‘or twelve years. How does it happen that these pleasing expecta- tions have not as yet been gratified? The Presi- dent himself stands precisely where he stood at the period of his election. Not one arrow from the quiver of a malignant and vindictive, because a eamarting and sufiering opposition, has penetrated the broad shield of his unsullied honor and unques- tioned integrity. But there is no shutung of our eyes upon the fact that the administration, thus far, has not been a successfal administration. The violent aesaults of the Washmgton Union are not altogether without palliation. True, there can be no excuse for that indecent ribaldry with which the organ of the democratic party at the seat of the gen- eral government, and kindred prints throughout the country, have attempted to assuil the chief magis- trate of the United States. Allright-thinking men— all men whowish well to the republic—must regard with feelings of unminglea disgust and detestation, the manner in which the locofoco journals conduct their opposition to the new administration. The Jow scurrility of those journalists who appear to be destitute of every talent, except that in which the wiragos of the Five Points are hardly their supe- riors—the talent of calling names—is at once dis- graceful to the press of the United States, and the character of our republican system. Yet, after ell, the melancholy truth is not to be dieguised—cannot be controverted—is not to be nicely, and snugly, and happily covered over with the wet blanket of oblivion—that this ad- ministration—this very administration which was ushered into existence under such favorable auspt- ces, and amid the cordial acclamations of a patriotic people—has not met the public expectations. Al- ready there are, far and wide, indications present- ing themselves which point to great and general discontent and diseppointment. We hear, afar off, awurmurs which threaten to swell, hereafter, into Joud and distinct utterance of dissatisfaction and opposition. It would seem as if the popular masees were almost ready to exclaim, addressing this administration—“We called for bread, and ye have given usa stone ; we asked for fish, and ye have given us a scorpion !” Now, whence come these strange and sad deve- Jopements of public opnion? We are inclined to believe that, in the construction of the cabinets some serious error was unwittingly committed, ‘There has been a good deal of chicanery—of sub- tle political intrigue—of nicely-caleulating parti- zanehip, in the organization of the new department of the federal government, which is styled the Department of the Interior, over which Mr, Ewing has been called to preside. department—so it has been contrived, for what particular purposes is open to conjecture—en- grosses a vast proportion of the patronage of the federal government. In fact, all the other de- partments have been made tributary to this new one, which, like Aaron's rod that budded, swa!- lows up all the rods of the magicians. The “Land Office,” with its extended dependencies and numerous officials—the Treasury Department, the Navy Department, the legal department of the Executive government, have all contributed to swell the patronage and power of this new depart- ment at Washington. The Department of the In- terior, as it is pompously designated, 1, indeed, it ‘would seem, a regular Delilah, by whose wicked agency the other departments have been shora of their strength. Now, to whose hands has the management of this new department, with all i tremendous influence, been confided? Why, into the hands of Mr. Ewing, of Ohio, one of the moat rabid and energetic of the abolitionists of the North! Is it to be wondered at that this arrangement should excite the jealousy, the alarm, the oppoei+ gon, of the Southern sections of the Union? Llere ‘we have a man whose fierce partisanship is well known, and whose hostility to the domestic mnsti- tations of the South has formea his ehvef stock in trade, placed in a position where he is enabled to ‘wield « vast omount of the patronage of the gene- ral government so 8 to further the views of the faction at the North with which he has been aceus- domed to act. Is this calculated to attract the con- fidence and support of the people of the South or of the citizens of the Northern portions of our Union, who are free from the fanaticism of the day, which seeks, under the mask of | & superfine plulanthropy, to engross the politi. eal power of this great community of freemen? Again, «s if te give additional point to these co siderations—as if to infuse more venom into the sting—we see the Post Office Department p under the control of another abolitionist —Mr. lamer, of Vermont. We know not by wihiat process of microscopic investigation it was ascer- tained that this personage, of whom nobody had ever heard, except unfortunate reporters or door- keepers in Congress, was exactly the most fitung human being to be placed in charge of the Post OF fice arrangements of the United States. But we do know that the Postmaster Ceneral hae already sue- eveded in giving ws abundant proofs of his utter incompetency. Le, too, is an abolitionist, as we have aid, and he has turned out almost every Postmaster in the country. The consequence is, Shat the whole department ie ina state of most beautitul confusion, almost equal to that to which the Post Office at Washington has been reduce’, ‘paid, or the postage will be deducted | This new | which the business of scores and scores of the country post offices is now conducted. Here, then, we have some clue to that furious opposition which begins to manifest itself against the new administration. An immense amount of the patronage of the government has been deposited jn the hands of men who are altogether sectional in their views and feelings. It is not surprismg that the South should feel indignant under these cir- cumstances. ‘That portion of the Union beholds with great alarm, not unmixed with indignation, the dispensation of a large ameunt of the patronage of the general government, by personages openly hostile to the views -and feelings of the South. ‘The outery against wholesale removals from office | has not been altogether without excuse or without provocation. In the Department of the Interior, and the Post Office Department, the greatest havoc has taken place among the officials. Hence the closeness of the serutiny to which the personnel ot thore departments kas been subjected. The result is by no means consolatory to the South, whatever it may be to some portions of the North. In these circumstances, what 1s the President todo? Unquestionably, he has been imposed up- on—grossly imposed upon. His patriotism is not bounded by the Potomac. He loves, we are sure, the whole country, and means to administer the government ina spirit of impartiality and justice. ‘We must see to it, that his fame and the prospe- rity of his administration be not jeopardized by crafty, designing politicians. Let him make a clean sweep whenever it appears to be just and neceseary. REVULSION IN THE Calivornia Trape.—When the California excitement first burst forth on the Atlantic coast, immense cargoes of merchandise, of all descriptions, were despatched there, and those exportations were continued, up to a compa- ratively recent period. Upwards of four hundred ships, with merchandise and passengers, were | sent thither, involving an outlay of some fifteen or | twenty mullions of dollars of capital. Those car- goes which were first sent there, were sold at prices enormously high, and yielded a very hand- some profit to the owners and proprietors. Our last intelligence from that celebrated region, 1n- forms us that prices for all kinds of goods had reached a rumously low mark, not near sufficient to cover expenses. Now, a great many ships with similar freights, hed yet to arrive there from New York and other cities on the Atlantic; and the na- tural consequence of the glut in the market which their arrival will cause, will be a still further de- preciation. What then is to become of those who invested their capital and means in these specula- tions? It is true that the first shipments realized good profits, because they had the benefit of the high prices which at one time ruled in California; butthe sudden fall in prices, produced by over- shipment, must bring about a revulsion here, and terrible destruction to those who engaged in the California trade ata late day. The revulsion may reasonably be expected; but the destruction which it will cause will not retard the progress of Cahfornia, nor prevent it from becoming the greatest place*on the Pacific. Emigration still pushes on towards the gold regions. Twenty or thirty thousand Western men are on their way there over-land, who will reach California about the same time that the emigrants from the Atlantic will. Before next fall, there will be from fifty to sixty thousand new arrivals in California, from the Western States and the Atlantic coast. Such an immenee addition to the population may cause prices of goods to advance again; for their wants must be supplied; and those who can afford to hold on to their shipments awhile may yet realize a profit on their investments. In digging gold, the Western emigrants will have a much better chance than those from the Atlantic. They are accus- tomed to hard work—digging, chopping, and such other labor as is genefally done on a farm—and will, therefore, be better able to undergo the great fatigue and drudgery consequent upon gold dig- ging. No great fortunes may be made; but when Colifornia receives this great inundation of emi- grants, it will make a more ragid progress than any other country in the world has everdone. Its progress already has astonished Europe. It is trae, the last accounts from there were not very pro- mising; but industry will always receive its re- ward there. Taistry Cnuvren ann xpenny Loaves oF | Wuraten Bneav.”’—We believe it is generally | known by the public, that the religious corpora” tion, kncwn as the “Rectors, Churchwarden and Vestrymen of Trinity Church, in the city of New Youk,” are in possession of an immense real e3- tate in this city, valued not by thousands, or hun- dreds of thousands, but by millions of dollars, and that their title to this vast property is, in the opi- | nion of some of our most eminent and talented lawyers, imperfect and of no validity, if tested by the law of the land. Isolated attempts have been made before this to have their title investigated ; but the power and influence of that corporation were £0 unsparingly used in each case, that all efforts of fiture of those who advocated the invalidity of the title. the public to another subject connected with that corporation ; hoping that the time will yet arrive that if it has been forfeited to the State—as 1s contended by a great many—such measures will be taken as will remove the property from the hands in which it now is, and place it in the possession of the State, in defiance of all attempts at bnbery and corruption. A few days since, a correspondent furnished us with an extract of a will of one John Leake, which and which bequeaths to this corporation the terest of one thousand pounds, to be laid out ia sixpenny wheaten loaves, and distributed every | Sunday in some part of Trinity church, after di- | vine service in the morning. ‘The following isa copy of that curious section of John Leake’s will, | which may, as we are informed, be found in book | 41 of wills, page 20:— | _Tgive and bequeath unto the Reetor and inhabitants of city ofWew York, im communion of the Protes- tant Episcopal Church, in the State of New Y theirsuceessors. one theurand pounds | taid State, to be by them put out at lawfal the sunual § and poome thereof to be laid out in sixpenny | | wheaten loaves of bread, azd dixtributed on every Sab- | | bath day, in some part of church, after divine ser- viee, in the morning, to such poor as to them shall | appear most deserving. ‘We would like to know whether the corporation ef Trintty Choreh accepted the trust reposed in them by that will of John Leake; and, if they did, what has become of the interest of the one thousand pounds? The oldest inhabitant, we believe, never heard of “sixpenny wheaten loaves of bread” ever being distributed to the poor, in that te: of fashionable religion, either afierdivine service | in the morning, or before it, or at any other time, in the day or inthe night. It would certainly | be a novel sight, and it would searce be in | keeping with the decerations, the tapestry, the | carved arches, vaulted aislee, and stained ¢ that magnificent temple, ¢o make it a place for div the deserving or undeserving poor of the city of | New Youk. But, if the ¢ orporation of Trinity Church accepted the trust, and received this sam of one thousand pounds, for » partieulat purpose and for a particular object, to be carried out in a parti- cular monner, the public ought to insist upon the conditions of this grant being fuifilled.

The contents of ite coffers are increasing every day, with the rive of real estate in the city, and Triaity church porserses more moneyed influenge than 1s consistent im consequence of being engaged in “making vepairs.”” Complaints pour in upon us from all qwariers in relation to the bungling manner in with our republican institutions and customs. We again say, what has become of the interest of the one thousand pounds, and of the * six-penny wheaten loaves of bread t” that kind ended to its advantage, and the discom- | But it is not our purpose to speak of their | | title at present—we wish to direct the attention of | when that title will be searchingly examined, and | is recorded in the Surrogate’s office of this city, | tibuting “ sixpenny wheaten loaves of bread” to | Journa.isM—Its Progress.—The progress and character of journalism in this metropolis, present as curious traits as we find in the history of jour- nalism in Pans or London. First, for the facts. It will be recollected that when the Herald and Tribune of this city were competitors for the print- ing of the Post Office advertisements, under the law authorizing their publication here in the jour- nals having the largest circulation—it will be recol- lected, we say, that the New York Herald pre- sented a circulation of only a few hundred more than that of the Zribune at that period. This was about two years ago. What is the difference be- tween the relative circulation of the two papers to-day? We understand, from very good autho- rity, that the daily circulation of the Tribune has dwindled down to about eleven thousand, if not less; while the circulation of the Herald has msen, on one occasion, as high as thirty- eight thousand; and at the present time it never circulates less than from twenty-five to twenty-six thousand per day. Here we have a most remarkable fact in the circulation of news- papers in this city. Now, has this anything to do with principles, views, talent, and industry? We rather think it has. Since the Zribune became the organ of socialism—which is only another title for irreligion, atheism, robbery, and swindling, under the name of philosophy and philanthropy—thedaily circulation of that paper among the practical and intelligent people of this country has diminished very materially; while the Herald, which has on all occasions opposed those destructive theories in religion, politics, and society, and always sup- ported every practical and rational system of Christianity, has increased in circulation, and is increasing beyond anything that can be found in this country. We believe some similar facts ean be accounted for, arid that similar reasons might be given, ex- hibiting the progress of journalism in London and Paris during the last three or four years. At our leisure we may enter into them. A New Parer.—We see it stated that Mr. Secchi proposes to publish a weekly journal, in English and Italian, for the benefit of the Italian people here. He will support, in his columns, the democratic cause of Italy, in opposition to the clergy and absolutes. We learn, also, that pre- parations are being made in another quarter to publish a new daily French newspaper, or at least istue one every second day, to be devoted to the cause of sound republican progress in Europe, and giving the latest information and details from that part of the world. ‘This new French journal, for American circulation, will avoid all the reveries of socialism on the one side, and of absolutism, of every grade, on the other. It will support the real republican party in France, and throughout Europe, who have not yet had a chance to show them- selves in action, but who may, in process of time, be able to cheer up the drooping spirits of the practical, sound, and sensible democracy of the Old World, without any of the reveries of philosophers or fanatics. From Port av Prince.—By the brig Hetty, ar- rived from Port-au-Prince, last evening, we are informed that the monopoly law was still in force at the time of her sailing, but we are not advised when that was. The following was the state of the market at Port-au-Prince when the IH. left there:—Provisions were scarce; coflee was selling at $45 to $50, paper currency, and scarce; logwood at $28 percwt. On the Ist of Jair four vessels called at Port-au-Priace, but could not sell their cargoes, and they bore up for the Leeward Islands. From Cerrar America.—We learn, by the brig Squires, Charge d’Affairs at Guatamala, and suite, had embarked for Granada and Nicaragua, on the 8th of June. The news in general is not impor- tant, except that: the revolution was progressing | aetively. American Female Guar«! Soctety.

Sanitary Measunes —The medical council, in com- pliance with @ resolution of the Board of Heaith, have reported that the establishment of houses of refuge for the rec a of persons living in unhealthy localities, during the prevalence of cholera, is a measure which has been advised and a ‘This was the case in Edinbu raid to have been attended with marked bé To these houses of refuge, the sound members of a crowded house, in an unhealthy situation, were removed, in or- der to secure them from some of the chief sources of disease, and at the eame time to lessen the dense Leip lation of the place. The general Board of Health of London, within the last year, advised the adoption of a similar course, and recommended, whenever cases of cholera occurred in filthy and densely crowded situa- tions, that the inhabitants of the infected house, or even of the whole court or alley, be removed to suita- ble, well aired and comfortable houses, iu a more healthy locality, while the infected district was tho- roughly cleaned and the houses ventilated and fumi- gated. It buildings suitable for the purpose could be readily procured in this city, and this plan could be fully carried into effect, the undersigned have no doubt that itavould be attended with beneticial results; but they doubt the practicability of accomplishing it before the cecasion for it will have passed away. Under these circumstances, it is the opinion of the undersigned that @ more important measure would be the establishment of a sufficient number of hospitals in the bad wards of the city, within a reasonable distance of those lo- calities in which cholera isat this time most prevalent. This can be more readily accomplished than houses of refuge could be erected, which plan could not be car- ried into effect without ineurring a very heavy expense, The medical council submit for the consideration of og Board of Health the adoption of the following reso jution:— Resolved, That blank number of physicians be ap- pointed by this Board, in conjunction with their medi- eal advisers, whose duty it shall be to make house to house visitations among the poor in the upper wards of the city, where, at this time, from the greater preva- lence of cholera, there is most occasion for such inspec. tion. These wards shall be divided into convenient visiting districts, to each of which one physician shall be appointed, whose duty it shail be to act under the special direction of the medical advisers of this Board. ‘o this Board they shall report from day to day, through the statibn houses, all information they may deem im- portant as to the condition of their several districts, not only in regard to the health of the same, but also when cases of peculiar distress and destitution are found to eaist, which may require prompt assistance and spe- cial aid, they should be required to give curly notice of the same to this Board, in order that such relief as the eo require may be as speedily as possible uf- forde All which is respectfully submitted.

INCWDENTS OF THE CHOLERA. The Cincinnati Commerciat of the 26th inst. gives the following imcident as having occurred in that city:— Officer J. Line gave us yesterday some more singular facts connected with the old beggar woman, Elizabeth Morelock, whose death we mentioned yesterday. She died in the night, and in the evening a lighted candle was placed upon @ stand beside the bed, her idiotic dsughter, the hunchback, being the only attendant— though, for part of the time, the physician was present. The old woman opened ber eyes, and perceiving the burning candle, ordered it to be blown out, saying that she could not afford te pay for it. When first taken tick, she ordered the chest which was, after her death, found to contain money, to be ae beside her bed, ‘and she kept it within reach of her arms during the whole of her sickness; and when the death struggle came on, she was told that she must die, she flung her- self upon the chest, and clawed at it, in her wild ava- ricious phrensy, until she tore the very nails from her fingers, and thus, embracing the ill-gotten treasure, her spirit took its fight. An old stoveinthe room was found, after her death, to contain a considerabl. amount of silver and copper coin, carefully stowe d effscts have been placed in the appointed by the court, In 1840, was scarce, this woman ee selling five hundred doilars’ worth at one time to a single individual. This money was accumulated by beggary by herself and her idiotic daughter. The latter was generally tlogged. upon her return home at night, when she did not make a g days’ work of it, and was always whipped before was sent out in the morning The cries of the poor creature, while under the lash of her avaricious mo- ther, have frequently excited the indignation of the neighborhood. The poor idiot herself was yesterday ‘an attack of cholera, aud is probably numbered with the dead. Pollee Intelligence. MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY A HUSHAND, ON HIS WIFE. Between five and six o'clock, yesterday morning, the neighborhood of No. 62 Broome street was thrown into the greatest possible alarm, at the ory of “ murder;" and soon aftera young man, by the name of Ferdinand Dular, was arrested in the street, ashe came running from the dwelling house No, 62, with spots of blood upon his clothing. Officer Powell, of the 15th ward, took him into custody, but not until after a rough and tumble fight; and, in the pantaloons pocket of Dular, there was a two-ounce bottle, filled with nitric acid. The cork came out, and the burning acid flowed on the leg and pantaloons of Dular, burning him very seri- ously. On the officer taking the prisoner back to the Louse from whence he came, he ascertained that he had made a bleody and desperote attempt on the life of bi as masons use in lathing a wall, With this deadly weapon, he struck his wife on the |, some six or seven blows, causing the blood to flow most pro- Medical aid was procared; and, after dressing her wounds, the unfortunate woman partly re- covered her senses; and that she might meet with proper care and treatment, she was oved to the residonce of her sh t No 4% Broome street, a few doors below.

The steamers San Francisco and Algoma, had but just come in, loaded from the Missouri river, Theit freights consisted of tobacco, hemp, grain, bale rope, bacon, and a variety of produce, The Mary was near- ly ready for starting to New Ovleans, having lier freight on beard, consisting of flour and cattle, The Pheaoix was going to Cincinnati, and had some freight on board, but we are ignorant of the amount. The Du- buqe had already been discharged, and therefore waa empty. It is considered that the loss sustained by the burning of these beats, cannot be less than $190,000, though the greater part is covered by insurance, A large mail, containing letters from the California emi, grants, was destroyed on the Algoma, but most of the papers and meney on that boit were saved, with the exception of $4,000. The whole of the papers aud money on the San Franciseo were fortunately pre- served. Unhappily, twolives are supposed to be lost, one, Capt. Young of the Algoma, and the other a pas- senger on the same boat. After the fire, a terrible fracas enrued between tho firemen and a party of Irishmen, by whom, it is sup- posed, the provocation was given. Captain Grant, of the Misgouri fire company, during the méiée, received a pistol shot which slightly wounded him. The houses of the Irishmen, which was a resort for boatmen, were then assailed, and one of them severely stabbed in se- veral places, The disturbance continued till 12 o’clock, when quiet was somewhat restored by dispersing the rioters. The Mayor, fearing a renewal of the disturbance, has very properly ordered out a company of St. Louis volunteers; and fearing this force would be insuflcient, he promptly despatched a request to the commanding officer at Jefferson barracks, for the assistance of the United States troops, ti The fire and subsequent disturbances, coupled with the recent calamities endured by our city from the epidemic, and the former sweeping and destructive fire, have cast a gloom over all our citizens, ‘Ther one hundred houses in progress of erection on the burnt district, and many of them will shortly be finished, This will tend to enliven our streets, an@ “ give an impetus to business. SECOND DESPATCH, Six O’crock, P.M. A portion of the California mail, lost inthe steamship. Algoma, bas been received ia a damaged condition, ‘The loss of cargoes and boats is estimated at $150,000, The captain of the Algoma was seen to jump ov beard, having his clothes on fire, and has not since been beard of. Capt. Cleveland, the former commander of the boat, narrowly escaped. Mr. Fitch is supposed to be the name of the passenger” lest from the Algoma. The Algoma was valued at $10,000; she was insured for $8,000. Ner safe, containing $12,000 was saved; the books and papers are lost. The box of specie ($4,00% belonged to a Mr. Smart, of Kaadas. ‘The San Francisco was valued at $20,000, and insured at $15.000, The cargo was valuable, The Dubuque, Captain Bereba, was worth Jabout $12,000, and insured for $10,000. It sppears, another steamer, the Garrison, was burnt; she was worth $19,000, and insured for $13.000, Books and papers saved. The steamers Alexander Scott, Bertram, Hader} Highland, Emigrant, and Dan Gilman, all lying near the Algoma, succeeded in dropping down the stream, and ercaped. ‘There were no material demonstrations made by the rioters last evening. In the course of yesterday, five groggeries kept by Irishmen were completely mobbed. No lives were lost, but several were badly injared! though none seriously. It is stated as the origin of the disturbance, that the Iri-bmen were detected in stealing property from the steamer Dubnque, when the Gremen played on them to deter them from continuing their plunder, Destructive Fire at Albany. Axnanr, July 30, 1849—A, M. A fire broke out at three o'clock, this morning, in a frame house in the rear of Lumber street, between Centre and Water streets, which destroyed all the buildings on the north side of Lumber street, betwee Centre and Water; also, three brick buildings running west on Lumber from Centre. The old Brewery build- ing on the west side of Centre and five other buildings near it were destroyed. All the lumber in the yard of J.P. Romaine, Rogers & Calander, Ketchum & Co, was burnt. The fire is now raging amidst the lumber owned by C. P, Williams & Co.,on Water and Lum- | ber streets. The loss must be very great. Losers by the fire:—Tunis V. Vecher, the estates of the late Jeliis Winne and George Casser. The two former estates were insured The-latter loses three brick buildings, on which there was no insurance. SECOND DISPATCH. t Aunaxy, July 30-2 P.M. ‘We learn the following particalars of the estimated losses of some of our citizens by the fire this moraing :— J.P.
