The brochure relative to the differences between Forrest and Macready, and the awful catastrophe to which they led—alluded to by us a day or two ago—hes made its appearance. It is a closely printed pamphlet of about one hundred and twenty pages, a great proportion of which is occupied by Mr. Forrest’s “cards,” extracts from English newspapers, and the details of the riot and massa- ere, as reported in the colum sof the New York Herald. The original matter is written in a fluent and vigorous style; but the wri'er, who is aaony- mous, siyling himselt ‘‘an American citizen,” dis- loses throughout the whole production, an entire misapprehension, either aceidental or designed, of the whole merits of this wretched case. As the public are already aware, Mr. Vorrest has pertinuciously endeavored to create the im- pression that the hostility of the English to Ame- riea and Americans, was invoked against him by Macready, from motives of professional jealousy, and that a certain portion of the British preas was suborned by that individual for the purpose of de- stroying his reputation and success as an actor. The writer of the pamphlet adopts the same idea, and labors hard to convince his readers that there nas been an atrocious conspiracy on the part of the whole English people in general, and Mr. Macrea- dy in particular, to blast the fame of an Americ: play actor. To all this, the appropriate answer may be conveyed in the expressive exclamation of good Mr. Burchell, in the “Vicar of Wakefield” — “Fudge !” The simple truth is, that all the disturb- ance of the public peace which disgraced our city, and terminated in the bloody scene of the night of the tenth of May, was produced by a miserable pro- fessional quarrel between two play actors. We have no patience with the insuflerable egotism and | woaddyism which magnifies such a paltry and con- temptible quarrel into a grave question of national prejudices or national feelings. Again and again, this wretched distortion of the facts in the case has been exposed; and yet we find the author of this pamphlet sticking to it with an impudent resolate- mess at once amusing and abominable. By all that is ndiculous, it is enough to make a horse laugh to hear this everlasting prating of a few toadies of Forrest aud Macready, ubout the wrongs and sufferings which these Thespian magnificios have re ively endured at the hands of two ns. fter all, although the quarrel between these nval play-actors was in itself 80 supremely con- temptible, behold its awfully mischievous results ! Carrying their private griefs and resentments, with characteristic impertinence, before the great body of the public, these two actors diligently set them- selves to work for the parpose of organizing rival factions of friends and admirers. *eards,” and make their speeches, and fulminate their infle:nmatory appeals ing accents, tells the story of his direful wrongs. Forrest bellows his fierce anathemas. Thus they keep up the strife week after week. The news papers are filled with the details of the tremendous eontroversy, until at last the two heroes, ia all the gtandeur of paint and tine:!, make their appear- ance at the same time in different theatres, in the @bief city of the Union. Now comes the * tug of war.” Hired desperadoes are employed by the friends of both beiligerents to attend the thea- tre at which Macready appears. The Forte men prevail, and the ebject of their resentment is driven from the stage. Out comes “a ecard,” signed by some thirty or ferty persons of all sorts @f standing in society, from fair to middling, or a peg ortwo lowcrin the seule. Macready re-appeare He is again assailed. He persist playing his part. A few thoughiless boys break the windows of the theatre. The Mayor calle out the military, and takes to his heels. ‘Cwo or three citizen se Giers are knocked down with brickbats, The m- Iitary are ordered w fire. They obey. They dis- charge three volleys. Twenty-five citiens mortally wounded, and fifty are maitaed and man- gied! Vain and wicked are all attempts to disuise the Woe features of this wad affair, The impudence fand jealousy of the two play-actors—the folly and impertinence of a peltry clique—and the imbecii- ty and wantonness of the public authorities—these, and these alone, fornish us with the whole expla- mation of this tragedy. ‘There may be some little ingenuity in the attempt of the writer of the p: piilet before we, to muke Macready the represea- tative of aristocracy and despotism, and Forrest the representative of democracy and liberty, in their rerpective styles of acung; but it 1s a wrete ed effort to explain the origin of this riot, ending | im wholesale slaughter.

The lapes cf time which has oecrrved suice that They issue thear | Macready, in shriek. | When next the | fatal nignt of the Tenth of May, when the pave- ment in front of the Astor Place Theatre was red- dened with the blood of our citizens, has only served to strengthen the conviction in the minds of the intelligent and reflecting portion of the com- munity, that the imbecility—the helpless, hopeless, cowardly imbecility—of the municipal authorities, was the grand source to which was to be traced the bloody dénouement of this affair. Throughout the whole business, the conduct of the Mayor, and the other authorities, was charac- terised by a weakness, vacillation and barbarity, which can never be palliated or excused. The weak-minded and cowardly, when possessed of power, are proverbially cruel in its exercise. It was so inthis instance. On .he Monday night on which the first riotous demonstrations were made, the police authorities were absolutely para- | lyzed. They beheld the scene of riot without the slightest efiort to terminate it. On the next night of Mr. Macready’s appearance, their conduct was, if possible, still more reprehensible. They packed the theatre—ensconced themselves snugly within jts walls, and abandoned the exterior of the build- the thoughtless, the disorderly, and the malicious, whose attacks they had absolutely courted and provoked by their previous imbecility and neglect of duty. Then, when the assembled crowds of curious epectators, who had received no timely admonition of the danger of congregating there, were looking on while the boys smashed the win- dows, the military are summoned, and in a mo- ment deal out their swift messengers of death, sending twenty-five souls to eternity, and strewing the pavement with upwards of fifty wounded. And now, after the lapse of months, justice still sleeps. The Grand Jury has discharged its duty to some extent. It has found indictments against a large number of the rioters. Where are these rioters? Some are at large on their owa re- cognizances—others have not been arrested and never will be—others snap their fingers and laugh the criminal authorities to scorn! What has been done in regard to the hiring of desperadoes and roffians by the friends of Macready—the members of the coterie who signed the “Card,” with Washington Irving at their head? Why is the trial of the rioters postponed? Why is there such an ommous silence about the whole mit- ter, on the part of the authorities? Does net the blood of the killed yet cry aloud for vengeance? Are not the sighs of the widows and orphans, of the Tenth of May, still ascending to heaven? Why does the District Attorney remain dumb and powerless? Are the authorities of this city so powerful, and so lifted up above law and justice, that they cannot be touched? Do we live under a despotism? or are we freemen? At Con- stantinople, in the dead of might, the ear is often startled by the sudden splashing of a heavy body, dropped into the dark and sullen stream which glides stealthily beneath the walls of the palace of the blaspheming Turk; but heaven alone registers and punishes the murder. Do the civic authori- tes of New York enjoy the same imperial immu- nities on this earth? Is justice, in this instance, to sleep for ever ? Maeniricent Fasnionance, Movements at Sana- voea.—According to all accounts, the present sea- son at Saratoga will be one of the most brilliant and magnificent that has ever graced the annals of New York. The United States Hotel is crowded. All along the corridors, and in the spacious halls, and at the crowded dinner tables, your eyes are delight- ed by a vast congregation of beauty, fashion, ele- gance, and folly of all kinds. paying compliments to the ladies—concocting | grand political plots with his friends and admi- rers~attending the ministrations of his Catholic Lordship, Bishop Hughes—drinking the water in the morning—and doing all in his power to make the evening of his days as pleasant and brilliant as possible. John Van Buren is there, too, laughing, joking, frolicking, rollicking around, with the non- chalance of the free soil system of politics. There, | too, 1s Bishop Hughes, preaching and praying one | day out of the seven, and talking and flirting with the ladies and politicians during the rest of the | week. Mr. Webster is to be there ; and the inter- view between him and Clay will be infinitely inte- resting and amusing. All this combination of polt- tics and piety, beauty and chicanery, give great life and piquancy to the season. ‘There never has been, hitherto, such a display of costly equipages at the Springs. The rivalry in horses, carriages, footmen and liveries, is immense. All clasees, fiom the member of achurch who has become a Jeader of the ton, down to the keeper of some one of the fashionable gambling houses of | New Yook, vie with each other in this race for pre- | eminence in “Venity Fair.” Parsons, players, gam- blere, stetesmen, beauties, rowds, are all busy from morning till night, playing their appropriate parts ; | with a score or two of old politicians, who, like old maids, cannot give up their flirtations, although it is clear that all hope has forever deserted their efforts. It is eaid that there are at least thirty equipages at | Saratoga, some of them of the most splendid de- | scription. The grandson of old John Jacob Astor | drives round the country in the highest style, with acarriage and four, and outriders 1 flaming livery. So, as the mortal remains of the old German ped- lar moulder away into dust, the “dast” that he left behind him is not allowed to lie quiet. it is flying in all directions. ‘The great event of the season will be the grand fancy ball, Which takes place either on the 17th or the 23d; sometimes they think it will be on the 28d, and then they think it will be on the 17th. We believe that it will be on the 17th—that is, a week from yesterday. All the milliners, fancy costumers, dressinakers, barbers, and hairdress- Mr. Clay is there, | ing and all the approaches to it, to the assaults of | Tesorts, ina lively, piquant, and good-natured style. ers in creation, have, accordingly, gone to the | “Springs.” It isto be a tremendously grand af- fair—an unparalleled affuir—the greatest fancy ball ever given on this side of Styx. The Hon. James Brooke, member ef Congress elect, from this city, has gone there in the capacity of principal and con- fidential reporter of the newest fashions in dress. No one can doubt his high qualifications for per- forming this task to perfection. There is no mys- tery of the toilette which he has not revealed. Millinery has to bim unveiled all her arte and mar- vels. He is master of the whole miracle of the habiliments of a modern belle, “trom point of toe to top of feather.” Mr. Brooks, member of Con- grees elect, from this city, will give the public a full, true and particular description of all the cos- tomes of the ladies. He will not miss a single flounce, or flower, or ribbon, ot ringlet. All will be given in trae artistic style. Mr. Brooks, rity, will not t in this account of the fashions at Saratoga won't. So let the whole world of fashion, and all barbarian outsiders, look out for the report of ledies’ dreeses, mantuamaking and millinery, with all their characters, dresses, names and personal charms, from the accomplished pen of the Hoa.

We have ourselves made some atrangements to gratify the pablee with « report of this grand ball, throvgh the medium of the telegraph, at an ex- pense of trom one to two thousand dollars, more member of Congress eleet, from th be b i} or lee, af needed.

The cholera is sub- iding very rapidly since the fast day, which was 80 generally kept in obedience to the requisition of his Excellency, the President of the United States, and the various mayors and governors throughout the Union. That general act of devotion has pro- duced the most salutary effects, and it appears that the fashionable world is preparing itself for a sea- son of unexampled gaiety, splendor, and magaifi- cence. So wags the bright and breathing world! Lerren-Wairers at Watering Pcaces.—It ap- pears that our amiable cotemporary, Greeley, who narrowly escaped expulsion from ‘he House of Rep- resentatives at Washington, in consequence of fabricating falsehoods in relation to the members of that body, has entered the field of diurnal litera- ture, in the new capacity of a letter-writer at Sara- toga Springs. Massa Greeley had been quite sa- vage upon the letter-writers at the watering places, and charged them with all sorts of wickedness, because they happened to dish up the manners, follies, vagaries, eccentricities and humors of those Let us see how the tellow does the business him- self. Here is a specimen taken from one of his letters :— Of hotels here, I bs ty Congress Hall as the best. It contrasts finely with that of the United States Hotel here, at which some customs have obtained for a year or two—and more than ever this season—of 60 scandalous s sort as almost ke aga the ee down of the house about the ears of the proprietors. No such outrages against the commonest decency have ever been attempted elsewhere, and here they will not be much longer tolerated. No bills of fare are furnished, and the dinners, Rg for those who order on private account, and have direct communication with the cook, are Caen | meagre. Attendance at the table. too, oan be ensured only by paying a waiter what should be the full amount of his wages, in the morning the covk makes a tour of the parlors and piazzas, aud is paid by the ostentatious and vulgar (for a nan or woman of re- finement would not be served with anything which those sitting opposite might not help themselvea, if it should tempt their appetites) to bring them at dinner game and other delicacies, which if not furnished to all should not be furnished to any, unless at private tables. ‘The true law is—and it must be enforced —that no dish shall on count be placed upon a public dinner table which ‘shall not be subject to the call of every boarder until it is exbausted. A host or a gue ho violates this rule, by furnishing or receiving which must not be touched by persons who sit next to him by whom it is ordered, should be horse. whipped. The effects of thi item are casily understood, Che most obvious, but not the most oi and meanness of provision that shall for the largest possible expenditure for pri table d’hote hus been aud shall be democratic, w its quality; and the mushrooms and blackguards who =) gednenions from cooks must flad them elsewhere. — Tribune, Decent—gentlemenly—intelligent—polite—is_ it not? The amiable philanthropist and universa, frend of humanity waxes quite wrathful. He would have the hotel pulled down about the ears of itsproprietors—he would horsewhip the guests—he would crack the crowns of the waiters—he would roast every one of the cooks in his own frying-pan, over a slow fire!‘ Mushrooms”—“ blackguards” — yulgur women”—* outraged decency”—such are the elegant terms which Massa Greeley deals out all around him. All this is pretty well for a | reformer—a new Chestertield—who undertakes to | correct the manners of the dinnertable. We fear that the soul of poor Greeley has been disturbed by | the cleanliness and decency of the hotels at Sara- mates. Had there been but a reasonable allowance | of dirty boots, dirty pantaloons, greasy hats, ua- | washed paws, and suspicious heads of hair, all | would have beeen bright and cheerful, and we | should have had none of these awfal threats of | horse-whipping, blood, and murder.

It meets in some little back office | down-town, and every now and then fills a column or two of ene of the Wall street journals, with a report ef its wonderful debates and all-important proceedings. The last subject which has engaged the profound attention of this astute body, is Whitney’s project of a railroad from Michigan to | San Francisco; and it seems that the Chamber have put the seal of their approbation upon this grand scheme, and commanded Congress, the United States, and the whole universe, to stand still and listen, while they issue their mandate to have the road constructed immediately.

We give below the latest returns received by te- legraph, from the various States in which élections have recently been held. They are tolerably com- prehensive, and calculated to foreshadow the po- litical complexion of their several delegations in the Thirty-first Congress. In North Carolina, Stanley (whig) is elected in the Tenth district, by a small majority, which leaves that State in statw quo in the next Congress —6 whigs to 3 democrats. In Tennessee, there is no doubt remaining ot the election of Trousdale (dem.) as Governor. From Kentucky, we have returns from seven Congressional districts, which give 4 whigs and 3 democrats. {t is supposed there will be four or five democrats returned to Congress from that State. From Indiana, the news is favorable to the elec- tion of the democratic candidates for Governor and Lieut.-Governor, and a democratic gain in Congress. We have not yet received any returas from Alubama. The Election in Kentucky. Franxrorr, Ky., August 10, 1849, Seventn Cononesstonat. Distnict.—A.

A band of lawless, thieving desperados, with the enviable appellation of“Flatheads,” have, for some time past, committed some ef the most outrageous depreda- tions upon the honest portion of the population of the southern end of Illinois. This band of thieves number near or about three hundred. For the eafety of life and personal property, about five hundred of the most respectable inhabitamts of that State formed themselves into an association, called the “ Regulators.” ‘The aggressions perpetrated by the “Flatheads” be- coming s0 insupportable, the regulators determined to use the most vigorous measures to bring the culprits to justice. They accordingly procured writs for the arrest of ten or twelve of the leaders of the Flathead gang, and summoned the officers to aid them in the execution of the law. ‘The Flatheads, hearing of this movement, the most determined of them, to the number of about seventy- five, ussembled in » log house, where, armed to the teeth, and making a fort of the log house, they deter- mined to stand their ground, and give battle. The regulaters having dircovered the retreat, eame and summoned the Flatheads to surrender, w'ich re- quest being refused, the regulators threatened to charge the log house, and invited every honest man who was misled into it to leay About twenty-six, seeing that the side of justice was the strongest, left their companions in the log houre. The regulators then charged upon the remainder of the Flatheads, and soon put them to a precipitate fight During the charge two of the Flatheads were killed, and three wounded. Three of the regulators are said to have been mortally wounded, The whole neighborhood" is in the greatest excite- ment, The regulators, assisted by the authorities, deter- mined to run this lawless band out of the eouaty, are pursuing them in every direction. Anumber of the Flatheads have fled over to Ken- tucky, and others have hid themselves in the swamps. Suicide at Worcester. Woncesren, (Mass.)

Ia order to deep it fresh, he retained a quantity of earth around it and placed it ina sack. When taken from the sack, and the earth washed, it was found to be full ot particles of pure gold. This e tru is so much like an old story of an English natura who took planta from California, and found gold among their roots, that it certainly is not original. At all events, there is an excitement in Arkansas, and great fears are expressed lest the gold region may be in the territory of the Cherokee nation, guarantied to them by our government.
