CHINESE MUSEUM, 599 Broadway—From 9 A.M. to 10 ru » axa IusrRewentan ptember 26, 1849, -w York, Wednesday, Pro t Washington—A War with The equinoctial gales seem to be blowing very severely in the neighborhood of the White House, and the office of the Secretary of State. Our Washington correspondence to-day, discloses a third ecene inthe drama. It seems that another quarrel is under way, between the United States and the Bey of Tunis; or, at least, if they don’t make a quarrel out of it, they ought to do so. Our correspondent at Washington gives the particulars of the case of John Howard Payne, who appears to have suffered much during the few years that he aeted as Consul at Tunis, and whose grievances evght to be remedied at once by the government at Washington, if they have any sense and spirit left. It will soon be time for General Taylor to take the leading reins of public aflairs into his own hands. The secretaries appear to be getting into too deep water. Let us watch and pray. The next grand move will be a war with Spain, about Rey, (we havea war with the Seminoles) —then a war with Russia, about the case of Silas E. Burrows—and last, but not cheapest, a war with the Camanche and Apache Indians. War! war! war! as hi Opera and Fashionable Society. ‘The fashionable society of New York—that por- tion of our population who attend the Italian Opera during the season—are muking their appearance am their splendid residences up town. Occasionally a carriage drives out towards Harlem in the after- noon, and makes a little display, which will in- ereare as the fine autumn weather progresses. The spendid belles and fgurantes of Saratoga and New- port have long since left those haunts, and been endeavoring to take a little rest on their way home, and are preparing their elegant apartments in their palaces in the upper part of the city, for the eommencement of the gay season of 1849. The fashionable season which is now approach- ing, will probably be one of the gayest, liveliest, and most splendid, that was ever witnessed in New York. The codfish aristocracy of the new world intend, during the coming season, to sur. pass every thing that they have heretofore attempt- | ed, and to emulate, as much as possible, the old and antiquated aristocracy of the principal cities in Europe. During the last year, every great city in the old world, where fashionable society and the Opera prevail, has passed through revolutions, out- breaks, and émeutes, to a greater or less extent. Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Milan, Venice, and Rome, have been particularly distinguished in this way. Their pavements have been crimsoned with blood, testing the great struggle between the aris- toerats and democrats of Europe. The fashiona- ble quarters of New York can enter into some slight suceersful emulation with the cities of the old world inthis respect, for we have had our émeute, meurrection—not indeed about politics, but about play actors—in which twenty-five citizens were killed and fifty-four wounded inthe public streets; eo that our pavements, during the past year, have been washed with human blood, in pro- portion to age and population, as much as the streets of the fashionable cities in Europe After a year or eighteen months of cholera, re- volution, and every thing of a violent nature, the whole werld seems to be relapsing into a state of perfect repose, and preparations are making in the eld cities of Europe to forget the past and look enly at the fature—to revive the Opera and fashion- able society—to patronize ballet girls and songsters —to elevate the higher classes, as fur as the philo- sophy and morality of the age will permit. Alter a storm comes a calm—atter the equinoctial gales succeeds the most beautiful weather of autuma— after a year ef blood and revolution, on both sides ef the Atlantic, no donbt we shall see a year of pleasure greater than any that we remember. We expect, therefore, that the approaching fashionable season in this mighty and growing me- tropolis will outstrip all former years. first of November the Opera House, in Astor Place, will be opened with a new troupe and under fresh arrangements, prepared by that remarkable Kittle Napoleog in Italian Opera, the redoubtable Signor Maretzek, who is so well known to our musical people. Iie has been in Europe for some months past, making engagements, andjwe believe he has succeeded in effecting arrangements of a very remarkable and favorable kind. He will re- turn, we understand, in a few weeks, and be ready to open the theatre, and commence the fashionable ut the beginning of November. Will our gay people and fashionable population ome forward nobly, and generously, and gi their aid and assistance in a proper way, for such an efiort toward the advancement of art, beauty, atyle, and elegance in social lilet Heretofore, the Italian Opera in thie city has been a lamentable failure—sometimes on account of bad management, at others of bad temper. The first season fell through by bad management under bad advice, and closed abruptly, depriving the subscribers of what was their due. The second season was marked by a collapse, originating bably in bad temper and bad management, and that wae ite termination. The third eflort 19 now about to be made by Signor Maretzek; and unleas the good society of New York, both the old fa milies and the new, the landed as well as the eodfich aristocracy, unite with the best of temper, rease the subscription lets to more than one dollar a seat, it will be utterly impossible to reorganize fashionable society in this great metropolis on a permanent basis, or with the About the | blishment of the Italian Opera on a proper asa centre of reunion forthe elegant and enlightened classes. We ought not to permit any of the cities of Europe to surpass us in elegance, or taste for music. They may pomt to their revo" lutions, their rows, and their émeufes, as entitling them to precedence aud superiority in the ranks of fashion and society ; but we certainly have, within the last yeor or two, exhibited as remarkable facts in our fashionable streets, and in our fashionable circles, a8 have taken place in: any city in Europe within the same time. We hope, therefore, that the fashionable people of New York, im the approaching season, will come forward with generosity and liberality, and increase the amount of their subscriptions beyoad that of a dollar a ticket. Unless they are williag to give a dollar and a half or two dollars per night for the choice of seats, we much fear that success will not attend the attempt. The time is favorable for carrying out such an undertakiag. Business is prosperous ; codfish sells well; pork and molasses bring goed prices; stocks go up and down; gold is coming from California; Mr, Clayton can’t get up a war with France ; everybody is growing rich ; now, therefore, is the time for our high circles, our refined families, to put their hands into their pockets, come forward nobly, and aid in the great work of establishing the Italian Opera ona per- manent basis; and thus reorganize fashionable so- ciety on a new foundation, so as to be secure against all sorts of accidents, ignorance, or the fall of stocks, hereafter. Tue Naroizon or tre Press.—We really be- lieve it is time for us to think that we are the veri- table Napoleon of the press. Our amiable cotem. poraries, of all classes and descriptions—high and low, intelligent and :gnorant—seem to unite in ate tributing labore, efforts and works to our mind and pen, that could be accomplished by no other person than a Napoleon of the press, or some per- sonage of similar calibre and capacity. It seems that all our foreign and domestic correa- pondence, the letters which eppear in our columns from Berlin, Vienna, Venice, Paris, London—in fact, from every pointin Europe; as wellas the let- ters from Washington disclosing the secrets of the cabinet there, and the funny movements leading to a rupture with France, including, also, the squibs and crackers which sparkle through our columns— all, ail proceed from the mind and pen of the editor of this journal. Our very sedate and sensible cotem- porary of the Courter and Enqutrer, and several others of the press of this city, insist that everything which appears in our columns comes from our mind and pen—that all is written in the Herald ot- fice, and is concocted by our genius alone. Really, with such an abundance of evidence before us, from so many various quarters, disclosing these serious facts, we must think we are the Napoleon of the press; and if all the evidence on this score were placed before a petty jury, they could not do otherwise than bring in a verdict against us, of being the veritable Napoleon of the press. To make the parallel complete, our cotemporary of the Courier and Enquirer thinks we have been beaten one day, especially in relation to the tre- mendous rupture between Mr. Clayton and Mr. Poussin, and the awful war that has been hatched out of it between the United States and France, Well, we admit the soft imputation. Napoleon himeelf suffered defeat once in hs day. He had his Waterloo Still, however, we were very little surpassed by any of our cotemporaries in that matter, notwithstanding the great effort that wes made by Mr. Clayton to monopolise the Poussin difficulty for his ewn paper in Philadelphia, in which he is interested, and in his connection with which he has degraded the office of Secretary of State of thejUnited States, to a chop-house, for penny-a-lining purposes. We were, in fact, in- formed of the progress of that quarrel, and the | Secretary attempted, in a variety of ways, to in, duce us to make ourself as great a fool in the busi- nees--to cry out—*‘war—war—war”—ashe showed himself to be in his Philadelphia organ, or its silly echo in Saltpetre corner, Wall street. The Napo- leon of the press has had the advantage ot the Secretary of State and his understrappers, in giving the best, most accurate, and fullest view of that emallest tempest ina tea-pot which ever took place between two great and powerful republics. Apropos, about Napoleon. Our cotemporary of the Courter and Enquirer is not alone in his opi. nions in assigning us a universal, importaat, and working position in the newspaper press. In another part of to-day’s paper is the translation of an article which appeared in a French journal in New Or. leans, describing two editors, after the manner of Plutarch, Great men must always be talked about, abused, lied about, vilified, praised, hated, slan- dered, and puffed. So are we. ‘Tue Nicaragua Question Tae Exrreren Rerrere witn LAND — More Fun. —Mr. Crampton, the British Charge de Affaires at Washington, has not received his passports from Mr. Clayton; for we have not seen any magnilo- quent account of such an act in the columns of the Vorth American newspaper in Philadelphia, the personal organ, and partly the private property, of the American Secretary ot State. We expect, however, in afew days, some very important in- telligence growing out of this Nicaragua affair. The whole commercial interests of the country, as far as they are connected with England, are watching with an intensity of hope, or despur, what the result of the Nicaragua affair will be, in the same way as have been waiting, with dread and apprehension, the course of the Poussin diili- culty, those interested in our commerce and trade with France. Is it to be a 54.40 affair? The rupture with France, growing out of the Poussin negotiations, night naturally lead the hopeful epeculators to anticipate a similar denowe- ment in the negotiations with Mr. Crampton in the Nicaragua business. Mr. Crampton, like Mr. Poueein, belongs to a warm and excitable race— the one being a Frenchman, from the Boulevards of Paris, and the other an Irishmen, from the Lakes of Kiilarney. Mr. Crampton, however, has one thing in his favor. He is the representative of a monarchy and a queen—a very quict, self-satisfied lide woman. Mr. Poussin 13 a republican hin. self—esent out by a republic—and is, moreover, | bile. evepected of nltra republicanism in his idecs, Janguege, manners, and diplomacy. Mr. Cramp- ton has another point in his favor, which may | to exert a strong influence, and thereby remain in d one of the principal pomts in the movement is | The Deaths ef the Mexican & rades and Urrea. : ‘Woe notieed. yesterday, under the telegraphic head, the death of Gen. Parades, the former President of the Republic of Mexico. anda few days sinee, the death of Gen. Urrea, the famous guerrilla chieftain, near Du- rapgo. Of the former, we give below a biographical sketch ; of the latter little is knot except of his movements on the Rio Grande, as 8 guerilla leader, in the late war between the United States and Mexico. These two officers yecame famous in the late war with the United States. Mariano Parades, though one of the oldest sol- diers of his country, and having been « participant in all the important events since the days of Iturbide, ‘was almost unknown in the history of Mexico, until, the revolution of 1840, when the overthrow of Busta- mente took place. He was of the number in whom Burtamente placed the utmost reliance, but was among those who first pronounced agninst him, and was one of the leading spirits of the revolution. Gen, Valen- cia, in bis proclamation of August, 1841, referred to bim, in connection with Santa Anna and Cortasar, as having planced the wholeaffair. Gen, Parades, at thag time wasin command at Querétaro, and Bustamente marched against him, but was obliged to desist, in consequence of the reception of intelligence that Santa Anna was moving to the capital, from the direction of Jalapa and Vera Cruz, Being very in. fluential in the movement, and the people of Aguas Calientes, Jalisco, Querétaro and Zacatecas being in his favor, together with several other mineral distriets, the wealth of whose possessions could only be turned to advantage by the introduction of foreign capital, he sought repeal of those laws whieh probibited foreigners from possessing real estate aud a toleration of religion. He opposed the revolt of Gomez Farias with all his power; but when called upon to astume the executive office, positively refused, and favored the elevation of Santa Anna. It is supposed that he took this ground from the fact, that if made President he would be Hable at any time to be driven into exile; while, if in command ot a large military force, he would be abl® safety. The revolution ceased on the 7th of October, leaving Santa Apna dictator. Parades was then pro- pored as Minister of War aud Marine, but that he also declined, knowing that the intention was to separate him from the command of his division. In 1844 Santa A was declared and installed Pre- sident of the republic; but before t be was deposed. and Tlerrera, t of the republic. teok hia Pi seeing the probability of t! the United States prepared to submit to it. and en- deavored to bring the Mexicans to his own opinions.

There appears to be no life in the market, and operators in the street evinee very little disposition to meddle with any kind of securiti: Some of the bulls talk largely about some movement in some particular faney, and look very wise and mysterious; but we would advise outsiders to keep clear of these movementas and give them a wide berth. If the bulls are to be be- lieved, there is always a movement going on in Wall street; but unfortunstely for them, the movement, nine times out of ten, is downward instead of upward. is only necessary to look back a few months, aud note the course of prices, to learn what success the bulls have met with in their operations; and if eutsiders will review the steck market for the past five years, they will see that speculators for a rise have been sad- dled with immense losses, At the first board, to-day, Erie 7's, 1869, fell off % Farmers’ Loan, 4; Long Island, {.

The Albany City Bank has declared » semi-annual dividend of four per cent, payable on the lst of Oo- tober. The State Bank at Newark, N. J, has declared a semi-annual dividend of three-and-a-half percent, pay- able on the 1st of October. Twenty-eight kegs of silver eoin, amounting to $140,000, went up the river on Saturday, on its way to Toronto. Efforts are being made to fill up the capital stcek of the Vermont Valley Railroad Company, for the construction of a railroad between Brattleboro and Bellow’s Falls, @ distance of twenty-three miles, The capital is $800,00; but such arrangements have been made with responsible contractors, that only $200,000 are required to put the work at once in « state of forward ness. At Bellow’s Falls this road will connect with aboat twohundred miles of road running into the interior of Vermont and New Hampshire. and open to this city the immense trade of that section of country. It is proposed to pay interest at the rate of six per cent, on the gtock of this company, as it is called in, There is no railroad company in this part of the country apparently doing a better business than the New York and New Haven, and still it dees not earn the dividends paid on the stock and interest on its debt, after paying ite running expenditures. This road has now been in operation about nine months, during which time there bas been an election for direo- tors, and no report has been made of its cost, or of its financial affairs in any shape,and the stockholders have no knowledge of the amount of debt or the capi- tal¢f the concern. There is no excuse for this, and we are dirposed to believe that there is some object in keeping back the report. This we know, that at the last meeting of the directors it was voted not to accept the read, which means that the road was not ready to be handed over to the stockholders, and left to depend entirely upon its own net earning for dividends. The modern method of constructing railroads Is to promise the payment of six per cent interest on the stock psid in until the road is completed, whion it is turned over to the stockholders, as it is termed, and accepted, after which the stockholders have to depend entirely upon the earnings for dividends; unless the directors finan- cier in euch a way as to carry enough of the earnings to construction account, to squeere outa fair divi. dend out of the balance. The New Haven Railroad was constructed last January, when the trains com- menced to run, and have been in regular operation since, notwithstanding which, the directors have not yet turned it over to the stockholders, Thi very ex. traordinary fact, on the face of it; but does not appear stock, that has induced the directors to keep overy- thing connected with the oort of the road a mystery: The exed statemant of receipts and expenditures for the first reven months of this year, exhibits a di fieiency, after providing for the interest on bonds and stock for the eame period -— New Youn awn New Favew Rartnoan. from pasrengers, Jan. 1 to Aug. 1, 142.901 49 “ freighta, “ « 4.875 23 Total receipts for | months, 18 Total expenses for 7 months, 1 Reo'te “« 08,152 45, Net revenue, first 7 months of 1849..,... $8004 a Taking it for granted, for the moment, that this is a correct account to far as it gore, it farniahes good dat® We have no official report ef the company, giving us the fore, to depend upon the best information we can obtain from otber sources. It is stated that the oapital of the coneern Is $2,500 000, and the amount of debt $500,000, making an aggregate of $3.000,000; the interest on which, for seven months, at six per cont per annum, amounts to $105,000 - showing a deficieney of $24,976 in @ period of seven months. It will be seen by this, that the etoekholders would have received a dividend of only about two per cent for the six months ending July Ist, 1849, instend of three, hail they depended upon the net earnings of the road. Now.» portion of the interest peld on the stock is so much added to the capital, weno gnaranty that the above report of re- d expenditures is correct. We have nom authority than the board of directors, or the ma: ment and we place very little confidence In them We } bave a way of proving the correctness of raliroad re- Ports, as regards expenditures; and the application of the tent to that of the New York and New Haven Com- pany, shows s very great diserepancy somewhere. This 4 to N Hav dack, daily, which fs 78 miles; allow miles, drawn by horees, and it leaves 7534 miles each hich is 151 miles a train, which makes an aggregate for the fonr trainer, daily, 004 miles, There is another train that runs to Norwalk, 4234 miles, after deducting the 24 miles drawn by horses, which makes 86 miles to each train, The eggregate is, therefore, 689 miles daily: multiplied by 182, (28 days to the month for ee ven months) makes # grand total of 125,308 miles’ Now, itis well known by every engineer in the country. that the average cost for rr trains on railroads in this country, ranges from 70 cents to $1 25 per mile. Taking the lowest average for the New Haven Railroad, say 70 e id the aggregate cost for running 125,503 miles, amounts to $57.778 60. There is to be added to thir the emount paid the Harlem Company ray $5000 per month, for months— $95 000—and the cost of the horee power for drawing the eompany's cars from ( hal street to the steam depot at Sud street, This last item we cannot get at; but to be within limite, it wonid be eafe to put it down at £3000 for the seven months Which would be about $1 per mile. All there expendl tures added together, make nn oggregate of $125 778 @, to be dedacted from $147,176 76. In the report of receipte from passengers, the sum of $6.156 86 is pat down as coming from conimuters, and it fs a question Whether that is forthe coven months or for the yenr, It Is well known that the New Haven Raliroad Com- pany pay enormous some to KteeMbsat owners for the withdrawal of steamboat eompetion. On all passengers from Bridgeport, Southport, Stratford, Fairfetd aad the New Haven Patiroad Company pave ead | bead; & clilar sum yer is paid on all passengers that come down om the Heusa- tonic Lailroad aod over the New Haven road.to New York, so that for a) passengers brought to New York from the above named piac-s on the railroad, the eom- pany only receive 43 cen'x each, out of $1, whieh cach: passenger has to pay +The New Haven Railroad Come pany also pays the Hartford and New Haven Railrood Company at the rate of $20.000 per annum for empty- ing their cars into those of the New Haven read. It wil! be seen by this, that the stockbolders of the New Haven Railroad are little benefitted by the large amount of business the company is dothg; the care full of passengers give but a small ineome, the Teecipta being almost entirely eaten up by runnieg expenses ‘and bonus paid to steamboat and railroad companies. It is our opinion that these facts have @ great deal to do with the mystery which hangs over the movements of the directors; and the fear that these things would affect the market value 0° th» stock and interfere with the financial operations of the management, has pre- vented the publication of a more detailed report of the affairs of the eoncern. If those interested in this company as stockholders, will inquire particularly into thes+ contracts with steamboats aud railoa*s, they will find that the ma bagement of the New Haven Railroail are largely inte- rested in the companios—both steamboat and railroac— with which they have been made, and they will also fing that the competition is by no iweans removed by the arrangements made, as there are boats on the Sound running from New York t» a'l tho prineipal porte of Connecticut. It thus appears that this is another added to the long list of delinq ent railroad compa” nies; and many of those which have been im operation seme years, and have for many years paid good divi~ donde, will, when their aifairs are analyzed and probed, prove equally deceptive and inselvent. A report relative to the affairs of the Reading Rail« road Company will soon be issued. It emanates from an agent appointed by large Easterm stoekbolders, and is not, therefore, of an official character. In relation to the points discussed im the forthcoming report, the Philadelphia Ledger says :— “The main points relate to the revocation of the pre- ferred stock, and the revewal of the bonds due in B50. ‘The preferred sbares. it is understood, will be eaneel- Jed, and the orginal bonds re-issued to the holders.
