The gloom and panie which have prevailed, will then give place to a prospect of revival of business, and activity in every description of commercial enter- Prive, almost equal to that which disclosed itself on the subsidence of the pestilence of 1832-'33, and which was followed by those extracrdimary years of general pros- perity—1834-"85~'26, One of the principal elements and agencies in aiding and assisting business men, and domestic comfort and ‘tranquillity, in these revivals, is to be found in the newspaper press—the widely circulating daily journals, In connection with this matter, we may fuirly place before the advertising community the advantages whieh the New York Herald possesses as a daily adver- tising sheet. According to the recent developements Im the dispute between us and the Tribune, it is now admitted that the Tribune has @ circulation of about thirteen thousand per day, while that of the New York Herald rises to twenty-five or twenty-six thousend, and has frequently reached considerably over thirty thousand dey. Nor is it the vast circulation of a journal alone, which gives it peculiar claims upon the attention of the advertising community. The character of that circu- Jation, and the character of the readers and patrons of ‘the journal, are of the highest importance to business people. Now, in addition to the extraordinary and wide-spread circulation of the New Yerk Herald, which is without a rival in its comprehensiveness, it is impor- tant to note that it circulates chiefly among the men of intelligence—tho active business mon—the active ‘end busy classes of society in this and the other large eities and towns of the United States. There is no other journal in New York which has so large a circu- Jation as the Herald, or any thing like it—none which exercises so great an influence upon the minds of the great intelligent and active masses of the country.— ‘This circulation is a diffusive circulation. In Phila- deipbia, Boston, Baltimore, and other great cities and ‘eentres of theught and business operations, the circu- lation of the Herald is as extensive as that ofany of the local journals in those cities—that is to say, the Herald ie af generally and regularly read. ‘We present these facts and these views to our readers and patrons, and the business community generally.— In ® week or two, people will be returning from the eountry. Panic will give way to our usual tranquillity. ‘The cholera, we have reason to hepe, will have sub-"). 94. Business of all kinds will be resumed with fresh vigor, anda revival will take plage, unprecedented in ‘the commercial annals of t's country. Of all this, we have no doubt, As an aid and auxiliary in this revi- val, the Ny York Herald, from its position and vast atreulation among all classes, commercial, political and | soeial, presents obvious claims upon the patronage of | the advertising community. In this respect, no other | Journal in New York, and least of all, the Tribune, can ter into competition with the New Fork Herald. nd@ Spain | ition of the American Navy. Although not positively alarming just now, yet the present relations of the United States with | England and Spain, growing out of the Mosquito question, and the abduction of a Spaniard at New Orleans while under the protection of the Ameri- ean flag, are suggestive of matter for serious and well known that steam power is, in this age, the great element on which we must rely in naval warfare. How do we stand in this respect 1 Un- der recent government contracts, several lines of Ocean steamers are now in process of construction; several of thera being nearly completed. We gave, the other day, a full description of two of these pow- erful steamships—the “Ohio” and the “Georgia” — destinéd for the mail service between this port and the South American coast. The same line to build two or three smaller steamers. . Collins’ line, to ply between New York and Liverpool, consisting of five steamships, is fast approaehing completion. These steamships are to be of nearly three thousand tons burthen. They are built in the strongest manner pos- sible. There is nothing in any other navy in the world that can approach them in point of size, strength and capaeity, ‘Then there are the Her- mann and Washington, of the Bremen line; the Franklin and another, to be built immediately for the Havre lne—all powerful steamers. Besides these, we have the Southerner and Northerner, of the Charleston line, and Tennessee and Cherokee, of the Savannah linePand, in case of necessity, the Crescent City and Empire City could be ob- tained. In addition to these, there are five large steam frigates now on the stocks for the Navy, which, with the Mississippi, Princeton and Alle- ghany, give usa steam navy on the Atlantic side of twenty-seven steam vessels. On the Pagific we have the steamships Panama, Oregon, California, Edith and Massachusetts. They can be at once con- verted, in case of emergency, into war steamers. Great Britain has a large number of steamships in her navy, but they are of a small size, and could not compete at all with those now build- ing under contracts with our government.— But will we have a sufficient steam naval force, in case of the breaking out of a war with any foreign power, when the steamers now building are completed? Should not the completion of these steamships be hastened? Does not prudence demand that we should be fully prepared, at any moment, to engage in a conflict on the ocean ? We call upon the government at Washington, in the most respectful, but urgent, terms, to look to this matter. Let there be no delay in making all needful preparations for the successful prosecution of offensive or defensive measures. It is impos- sible to tell how soon the government may be called upon to exercise a more potent and uncere- monious diplomacy than that which is waged be- tween gentlemanly civilians in charge of State departments. The head of the Navy Department has a serious resporsibility resting upon him. Again we say, iet the government seé to it, that they are prepared, fully prepared, to defend and maintain the nghts and honor of the country. Manufactures North and South-The Ri. valry of the Twe Sections, We have made frequent mention, for some months, of the rapid increase of manufactories in the South—particularly of such as have been erect- ed for the purpose of making the coarser kind of cotton fabrics. Many short-sighted people have supposed that the establishment of these manufac- tories would make it the interest of the Southern section, who have so long complained of the un- justness of protective duties, to advocate a tariff for protection, and that it would not only tend to this beneficial result, but that it would harmonize the Eastern and Southern sections, as both would be directly interested in manufactures. This is a much mistaken idea, though extremely prevalent among many friends of the South and her prosperity, both in and out of it. The very opposite result will be the consequence, and in- stead of harmony, the interests will clash more di- rectly than ever. We are justified in drawing such a conclusion from the foilowing premises. ‘We have given 1 the Herald statistical tables, clearly showtng that the manufacturers in the South can compete with the Eastern, and produce, with white labor, goods equal and cheaper than in New England. Slave labor has not yet been ex- | tensively introduced into the Southern manufac- | tories, and when that is introduced, it will demon- strate that the South can drive the Eastern manu- facturers out of their own markets in the manufac~ ture of coarse cotton goods. ‘The average cost of slave labor ($40 per year), which, by experiments better adapted to manage machinery than even hired free labor, will not cost them more than halfthe price of laber inthe Northern manufactories ; and the they have an unlimited supply at all seasons, | would cost, as we have shown in former Heralds, | comparatively nothing. These advantages will | eventually deprive the Eastern and Northern ma- thoughtful eonsideration on the part of our govern- ment and people. Indeed, the Mosquito affair be- gins to assume an aspect rather menacing to the eontinued amicable relations of England and the United States. vegard to the affairs of the Mosquito Kingdem, for | a considerable time past, has been well calculated | to excite dispute and suspicion as to her ultimate designs and objects. Our readers must be, in ge- | ral, pretty well informed with respect to the movements of the agents of the British govern- ment in that part of the South American continent; | and it is only necessary for us to point their atten- | tion, at this moment, more particularly to that de- | velopement of the design of those persevering in- trigues and officious interference which have marked the history of events in that region, that is furnished us in the authoritative announcement The conduct of Great Britain in | nufacturers of the domestic market, which pro- | | | ize immense fortunes from in former years. As by the tariff that drove the South out of the supply- ing of their own market by changing cotton for | cotton goods with the rest of the world, the low rate of wages resulting from the system that caused it, will, in tarn, enable the South to drive the North out of their own market by manufac- turing cheaper, in consequence of the reduction of the profit upon the capital and labor caused by the productive system. A distinguished senator from Massachusetts (Mr. Choate) said, in discussiag the tariff of 1842, in the United States Senate, that the question “was a question of bread or no | bread to his constituen So far, then, from any harmony being produced by the extension of manufactories in the South, by the British Consul in this erty, of the positive | we dread the result, and are fearful of the conse- elaim eet up by the gevernment which he repre- | gente, to the Nicaragua route to the Pacific coast. The government of the United Stoteshave taken, | quences. To the South they will prove of imme- diate and of great ultimate benefit, for they tend we understand, the most decided steps in relation to this question, which now arises between the two governments. It could not be otherwise, ualess eur government are prepared to see the nghts and | privileges which our citizens have legitimately ac- quired, wrested from them bya foreign government. pts the State of Nicaragua had a per- fect right to bestow upon Mr. Clapp and Dr. Brown, | and those associated with them, those privileges which theagent of the British government now con- fravenes in the most emphatic manner. A direct issue is thus presented, which cannot but be met, and that too, with the utmost promptitude and de- | @ision on the part of the federal authorities of the | Bnited States. Nor ie the difficulty with Spain wenimportant or trivial. The circumstances con- nected with the abduction of Mr. Rey have been laid before the public. It was a most lawless and jmsolent procedure—a high-handed outrage upon | the rights and immunities of those who avaiy | themselves of the protection of our flag, which | demands the most determined action, in vind. | eation of the national honor thus impudent- hy assailed. The movement of the British go- vernment is extremely significant. [: has not been for naught that British intrigue has obtain- | ed virtual possession of the Mosquito region, and stirred up and incited the Indian atrocities in Yucatan. England looks to obtaining possession ef something more valuable than the privilege of ‘iting logwood in those regions. She has her eye wpon Cuba; and slowly, steadily, uaremittingly» she hae been pursuing a settled line of policy with the view of one day pouncing upon that fair island. All along, the course of Great Britain, ont the Morquito coast and in Yucatan, has been eharacteristic. She sends out agents in the guise of mere commeroial adventurers, and allows them to exercise oll their powers of chicanery and imtrigue; and while thus not directly committed in the business, she quietly awaits the period when she can exercise her diplomacy, and interfere bold- fy andopenly. It would appear from the manifesto Secued by the British Coneul here, that that erivis hoe now arrived in the present case. Dove it not, then, become the pressing daty ofthe government at Waehington to inquire minately to develope the resources of the South in other branches than those of agriculture and commerce. | Ship building and ehip owning at the South would not be more disastrous to Northera and Eastern | ship owners and builders than Southern manufac- tories to Northern and Eastern, and so far from | | healing the breach between the North and the South, it makes it still more wide. | The Eastern people generally are bringing dis- tress to their own door-sills by their mad fanati- cism towards the Southern section, and they should take warning before it is too lute. Their protee- tive policy has foreed the South into manufactures for their own preservation, and their devotien to | the Wilmot proviso and anti-sluvery agitation wil drive them, ultimately, tea separation, We epeak plain.

Let us give a résumé of the factsand figures:—The total mumber of interments last week, secording te the report of the City Inspector, was 1,273, of which 678 were from cholera, and 238 of other :diseases of the bowels and stomach, namely, cholera infantum, 105; cholera morbus, 20; diarrhvea,54; dysentery, 58; making atotal of 916 deaths by cholera and kindred diseases | and leaving 857 deaths by all other maladies. More than half of this mortality is among those who are not natives of the United States, namely, 640 deaths; while of Americans only 633 died. The deaths of natives of Ireland are 397, and of Germany, 139, The following table will show that both the general mortality and cholera have decreased gradually from the highest Point on the 21st of July to the present Totat Ponti: Deaths by ber 9p m4 692 678 The total number of cholera cases reported by the Board of Health last week, was 1,104, the number of deaths, 455, which is only about two-thirds of the true number. The deaths by cholera alone, last week, far exceed the deaths by all diseases for the corresponding week last year, when the entire mortality only amounted to 368, Still there is every room for encouragement. In cholera, during the last fortnight, there has been a de- cline of thirty-six deaths, and though in the last week there were only fourteen deaths less, or two per day less than in the previous week, how much better to see even this small decrease, than to see the epidemic increasing by the hundred,or by two and three hundred deaths per week as it was doing. As far as the report of the Sani- tary Committee can be relied on, there was a further decrease in the daily bulletin of yesterday; but as several of the returns from physicians were not deli- vered yesterday, being Sunday, there will, probably, be & corresponding increase in to-day’s report. On the whole, however, we may hope for # further diminu- tion of mortality at the end of the present week. The disease may have been said to have totally disappeared, ‘a6 an epidemic, from New Orleans, Cincinnati, and St. Louis, where it raged so furiously. Much depends on people themselves; let imprudence in diet, drink and medicine be avoided; let exhaustion of the system from overheating be guarded against, On the first attack of dysentery or diarrhwa, let per- fect repore be taken, and medical aid bo promptly call- ed in, and with the Divine blessing there will be an as- tonishing falling off. Further, let that “abomination that maketh desolate,” the piggery up town with two or three thousand hogs it it, where the collected filth is sufficient to poison the air of the whole eity—let that be removed instenter. Let that gigantic plague. spot—the great dung heap to which we have so often adverted——be abated, as the worst of nuisances; and let the bone-boiliug establishments be closed, and then it will be seen what temperance, prudence, and public cleanliness, shall have effected towards the mitigation of the pestilence. ‘The City Inspector only wants the slightest possible authority from the Board of Health, to act ; but that | body is so tardy in its movements, that we may expect toree these nuisances abated some time about the Ist | of September, when the disease, please God, shall have totally disappeared, or have greatly abated, without | the aid or eo-operation of the Board of Health. It is idle to say that these nuisances do not propagate the disease, Facts are stubborn things, and facts in abun- dance go to prove that the mortality is greatest in the vicinity of impurity; not that filth itself produces the Gisease, but it renders the human body more suscepti- ble of cholera, and of other diseases, than it otherwise would be. The fear, moreover, and apprehension ari- sing from stench and filth, tend to superinduce the epi- demic, In fact, every consideration demands the | speedy energetic action ofthe Board of Health. Que- ries :—Have we such a body at all? What evidence is j there of its existence? What signs of life does it evince? ‘There is one other source of mortality to which we desire to call attention. It is the funerals of the hum- bler classes of the Irish population. When one of these poor people takes seriously ill of cholera, the neighbors | | sit up with the patient at night,and,im addition to | helping to kill him by crowding the room, they become _ | M11 themselves from the effluvia, the excessive heat, the smpure air, and want of rest. If the patient dies, they | must “ wake” him; and then, next day, they go to the funeral, perhaps, without eating anything. They do | not, however, forget to ha mn though it were upon an empty stomach, when the interment is over. The result is, they are “ overcome,” as they ex- prees it themselves; or, if not upset at the burying place, it is ten to one that they take another drink when they return heme, to drown sorrow, ir flagging spirits, This prebably finis | ness, and a state of undue excitement results in’an at- tack of cholera, This, among other eauses, accounts | | gor the great mortality amapg the Irish in New York. | In conelusion, we have an observation to make, in ro- ference to the certificates of physicians. The penman- ship ot many of them is fo bad, that it is impossible for the clerks in the offiee of the City Inspector to make out the names. Bad spelling, that has been se much talked of, is not of mueh importance, except in the ease of proper names, These ought to be written | plainly, and spelled correctly, otherwise it is impossible | but that mistakes in names will continually occur, | which may lead to more rerious conseque | firet wight seems to be imagined. For tne | | | ot the deceased erty tn the old country, na | the City Inspector ter is the only evidence of their deathe; but ifa different name is recorded through mistake, what is the consequence? Why, confusion, Utigation, and perhaps the defeat of the ends of justices, Woarenine Praces.—We give a 4 number of our “Notes from the Watering Places” in our co- lumas to-day, and commend them particalarly to that elaes of readers, who love tittle-tattle, gossip, | | stuff, impertinence, folly and trash of that deserip- | | tion. The company at these places, especially at Saratoga, begins to look up, and manifest some | signs of life and animation. Mr. Clay has got there ; and he certainly is a trump card, if our let- ter writers only knew how to play him. | In the famous season of 1839, there were great times at Saratoga—were there not? The moath of August of that year was a memorable month at the village of bubbling springs, moonlight flirta- | tions, political intrigue, and anti-scorbutic celebri- ty. President Van Buren sat at the head of the tuble, with two or three ladies on his nght hand and his left, who ministered to his dulness, threw @ grace over his silliness, and added two or three cubits to his mean little etature. Editor Bennett had his plaee at the end of the table, with General ‘Talmadge on his right, and Mr. Senator Some- body on his left. General Scott sat on the right centre, and Henry Clay on the extreme gauche.— ‘That was a great season, and those were great times! The great game of the Presidency was in progress. Mr. Clay and General Scott were op- posed to each other as candidates, and managed te knock the wind out of each others sails, for General Harrison was the man who ousted Van Buren, and revolutionized the whole eoantry.— Perhaps in the latter end of this season, if Mr. Clay should go there and General Scott, it might be a second + edition of the famous seasen of "39.

The paving stones in front of the Broadway Theatre are unstained with blood, and it has not been made obnoxious to any class of this community, Never yet has the manage- ment invoked the aid of the military to murder twenty- five peaceable citizens in cold blood, and shoot down and wound fifty more, in the protection of its fancied rights, The enterprise is commenced, too, at an aus- picious moment, when the pestilence is abating, and when people, chastened and sobered by the visitation, are prepared to enjoy themselves rationally and qui- ctly, “Hernani” has been selected for the opening night, which will probably be graced by the presence of Henry Clay, with all bis reminiscences of glory, elo- quence, humbug and trash, City Intelligence. Fonny Scenss Anowr tue Custom Hovse.—Onee on @ time there was a New Hampshire boy, whose name was Harman, and who had followed the camp of Gen- eral Taylor from Palo Alte to Buena Vista in the cha- racter of India rubber dealer, as agent from one of the principal houses in that business in this city, and whom old Zack had rather # penchant for, as a charac- ter in his way. The war being ended, our friend from the granite State was left, like many others, with very little to do, During Mr, Webster's brief visit here, ® few week's since, our granite friend procured & letter from the “ god-like,” recommending him to Mr. Maxwell, the Collector, as a suitable person for a situation in the Custom liouse, Mr. W. having known the man and his family in New Ilampshire, as good Whigs and most Terpectable people. With this decu- ment he proceeds to the Collector’s sanctum, presents it, and is told that he is really afraid that he can de nothing for him, there areso many applications for Jace. “ What!) says our friend, nething for me? }o you see who that letter is from?” “Certainly I do; (getting a little waspish,) from Mr. Webster; but I can do nothing for you.” “Well, we will see,” says our friend, (picking up the document.) “wo will see what General Taylor will ray to such treatment.” The next train of ears saw our hero on his way to ‘Washington, who, immediately on his arrival, wended his way to the White House, was received and recog- a by the General as an old acquaintance. briefly related what he came for, how he bad presented Mr Webster's recommendation, which was refused and treated with contempt; * and now, General, | am wa and out of employment, and want something to do in the Custom House in New York, Will you write to the Collector for me?” There was no getting over this appeal, and old Zack, we understand, wrote a few words te this effect: — “ Mr. Maxwell will please give Mr Harman some em- ployment in the New York Custom House,”? With this document our hero presents himself se- cond time before the august presence of the Collector, throwing down the Webster document— Here, sir, is a piece Cf protested paper, that is not worth much, It acema, In thia market; bat, sir, please to read that from old Zack, aud see whether you will protest that doca- ment” ‘We need not say the last document was not protested, and that our friend Harman bas at this tent writing « very snug berth, for which Uncle paye three dollars por diem, which shows conclusively what Yankee perseverance can do if the application is made in the proper quarter.

M. It is rumored that information has been received at the State Department which, if correct, deeply involves Mr. Clifford, our Minister at Mexico, in a most serious barge, that of neglect of duty—his not having afforded that protection to American citizens residing in Mex_ ico, which had been demanded from him, appears to be the grounds of the charge. The following ciremstance Gave rise to an appeal to the United States government at Washington : During the evacuation of Mexico by our troops, ele- ven Americans, belonging to the United States army, in company with some ethers, were attaeked by the Mexicans, and after many of their comrades were killed. they were captured and thrown into prison at Jalapa, where they still remain. The frequent appeals of these men to the Ameriean Minister by letter having been utterly disregarded, they have addressed President Taylor on the subject ,, who has ordered an immediate and searching investi- gation to be made into the cirenmstances. ‘These complaints reached the President only a few Gays since, but they have been promptly attended to. The investigation is now going on, although seeretly. Appointments in the General Land Office. ‘Wasninatox, Aug. 4—P. M.
