Movements of the Hon, Henry Clay—Inte- resting Interview with Father Mathew— ‘Visit tothe Custom House, the Iron Works, and the Historical Society’s Lectures ‘The Hon. gentleman rose quite refreshed yesterday morning, after his journey, and enjoyed a hearty break- fast. He appeared to be in excellent health and spirits, About 10 o’elock, the Mayor waited on him, at Mr Benson’s, and invited him to an entertainment from the city, inthe name of himself and the Corporation. The Hon, gentleman thanked the Mayor, but respect- fully declined apy public honor during his stay in New York, which was entirely of @ private nature, While he did so, he could not but feel the full force of the compliment, for of ell the cities he had visited in the ‘United States, none hed been more attentive to him— mone more cordial in its hospitalities—than the Em- pire City. In the forenoon, Captain Williams, of the Third Ward Police, at the request of Mr. Clay, waited on Father Mathew, to ask him what time it would be convenient for the reverend gentleman to receive @ visit. Father Mathew having sent word that he was ready to receive Mr. Clay immediately, or at whatever time it suited his own arrangementr, the Hon gentleman proceeded, at 12 o’clcck, to the Irving House, asoompanied by Mr. Beneon, who introduced him to Father Mathew, in his bedroom, where he is still cohfined. Mr. Clay express ed the honor and gratification he telt at seeing the great Apostle of Temperance. Father Mathew replied that it was he who was honored, im being visited by the greatest wan of theage Mr. Clay madea profound bow yn ecknowledgment of the flattering compliment, but humbly deprecated the idea of such prominent greatness. Both gentlemen sppeared to be deeply affected, and to conceive a strong attachment for each other. Mr. Clay congratulated Father Mathew on bis safe arriva in this country, and thanked bim, in the name of the ‘ople, for the good he was effecting. Father Mathew Then dilated upon the greatness of, the country and of He bad read and heard much of both, but n with his own eyes bad far transcend. deseription he bad read or heard, or e could imagine. ‘There is no parallel, cont Father Mathew, between the youth of thi of the great countries of which ed an) ‘thin, Bue country and of 1 read in history, They were the result of slow progres: but you have grewn up suddenly from infancy into the fall maturity of manhood. without passing through the And as for ge scenery, it has a ‘athe visit to this part of merely the portico. Father Matnew—A magnificent o1 CLay—But you must cross the Alleghanies be- fore you enter the building itself Then indeed you ‘will be delighted. The fon. gentleman then earnestly ‘urged upon the apostic of temperance the necessity of husbanding his strength, and advised him not to over- ‘work himself in bis present delicate state of health. in eonelusion, he hoped that Father Mathew would waive the ceremony cf returning his visit, and he hoped hs ‘would coon see him with recruited health and strength in the fruitful valley of the Mississippi. The great Harry of the West then took an affectionate leave of the iliustrious stranger from the Old World ‘We should mention that \ir. Howard. having received intimation of the visit of Mr. Clay to the Irving House, had the hoisted to do bim honor, and kept it atloat of the day wt the house. Mr. Clay replied that he had heard h of it, and would have great pleasure in seeing it. Bir.

He expressed himself much gratided with allhe saw. It was his intention, un d. to ‘Dave visited the Navy Yard, Brooklyn, and the Croton ‘Water Works, but he was too fatigued. In the evening, he ded the lecture given before the Historical Society, in the University chapel, Wasb- sR erios gentleman ‘will remain in town till Saturday, New York Historical Society. Yestorday evening, the forty-ffth anniversary of this iterary and distinguished society, was celebrated at | vhe rooms of the society, and by the delivery of the usual annual oration. The Hon.

Liberty unregulated by law is no liberty. The movement of the world is onward; it cannot be stopped. The military hordes of the Autocrat cannot stop it. He is a dark cloud on the horizon of liberty. Mr. Bradish then proceeded to expiate upon the pro- bable consequences and results, of the action and con- duct cf Russiain the present fituation of the world, and its effects upon the progress of mankind and the advencement of civilization, He (Mr. B) deprecated and deplored the effects to be apprehended from the gratification of the ambition ot the Autocrat, in the future ucquisition of ‘Turkey ; and expressed the opinion, that he thought it behooved every civili- xed government to prevent such results Mr. Bra- dish then gave a brief and interesting view of the | aim. objects and purposes of the New York Histo- rical Society, and showed its intimate and close con- pection. by its researches inte the past, with all that was great and impertantin the future’ He then sat down, and was greeted with loud applause from the immense assemblage. When the oration was concluded, the company separated. Mr. Ciay, escorted by the President and members of the society, was then introduced into one of the rooms of the society, where, having partaken of some refreshments with the ladies of the cempany pre- sent, the veremonies of the evening were closed. ‘The Assassination or THE Governor or Macao.— Tembor de Amaral.the Governor of Macao, wi sassinated on the 22d of last August.

THE GOVERNMENT COMMISSIONERS AND THE INDIANS ig iy RgoUNcD.. correspondent of the Toronto (Ca) Globe, of the 16th inst , Soeokiog of the probable difficulty with the Indians about copper lands, at Sault Ste. Marie, says :—It may be recellected that, in the early part of — Large rane of fornang or noone I om aee, rom the ior country, passed threugh To- ronto. on their way to Montreal, with an address to his Excellenoy, relative to the occupancy of their lands by whites. Re deputations had been sent previous to none of which had any attention been this one, paid, but cold indifference and marked negleot. The style of this last address to his Excellency clearly showed that their former treatment had not been for- gotten by the Indians. The reply of his Excellency ‘was tothe effect that “ their lands had been sold under | a former administration, but that he would use every | exertion to have justice done now ” | Having received this reply, they returned to their | homes, not over and above ang however, they were | given to understand that there should be no delay,io fending up commissioners to conclude a treaty with | them for at ey pea of these lands. During the whole summer nothing more was heard relative to thi matter, and the Indians were becoming impatient, though still they relied upon the promise made them. Near a month ago, without any warning or notice given tothe Indians, tor the purpose of collecting them, as is usual on such occasions, two commissioners arrived atthe Sault Ste. Marie. Notice was given that upon the following day # council would be held at aa In- dian village, some eight or ten miles distant; but upon the next day the commissioners postponed it, and de- clared their intention of proceeding up the lake to Fort William, and thence to coast down, holding couacils with the different bands. ‘Chey were told that it was too late in the season to meet bodies of Indians, they having gone inland to their hunting. Nevert! 88; the commissioners started, and it occurred just been anticipated, they met but very few Indians along the coast. At Fort William they saw a few whom they collected at a moment's warning, and proposed to them to seli their lands But no treaty was made in fact it Was not such a council as could concluds At another locality they met one In family, at another two, and at another five or six Indian without waiting to send word to Indians in the nei; borhood, or endeavor to collect any until they again arrived at the Sault Ste. 4 the 16th day of October. Within the vicinity of this Place, « number of chiefs were anxiously expecting them, and notice was given that upon the following | dey a council would beheld at the Hudson Bay Com- pany’s fort. Accordingly, about noon, the Indian ehiofs and Indians met at the place appointed, and Mr, Com- missioner Vidal, instead of opening the council by e: plaining to the indians the object of bis errand, and for what purpose the council had been requested, as is usual upon all such occasions, commenced his proc: ings by asking a series of most absurd and childish questions, to which the cbiels ied with @ deal of good humor and much patie every question ex- | pecting that the followiog one would tend to enlight them as to what was the actual object of the vent! man’s mission. At length came some two or three | questions which might be said to have some referen: to their errand, One was. “ Did you ever lease or lend to th@@iudson Bay Company any lands at this place!” The reply was,” We did. and we will hold it good now, the company still shall have it.” Another was, “Have you leased or let to Mr. Macdonell any lands upon the island of Michipicotton ?” “ \We done | #0, and that we will hold good also; he @ it to work for us.” Again, “ Have you lessed or let to the Rev. Mr. Anderson any land at your village at Gar- den River?" “ We have done so, and hold that good; we give it for a mission; he is a missionary among us ” To these replies Mr, Vidal respoyded : “ I'am instruct. ed by the government to inform you that it will not sanction such acts.”” Then came the questions, “VW | you eell your lands ?”” Shingwakonce replie importance; ell the world, subsistence and support from the land.” Mr. Viwa1—Will you sell your lands; yes or no? Suisowaxonce— We cannot settle the question here, whether we will sell or not; we will take the rest of the ay to consult among ourselves; on to.morrow give you our answer at this plac are not unwilling to sell some of our lan ‘The following day, at the hour appointed, the chiefs having taken their seate, Mr, Vioat. asked them for their reply to the questions of yesterday, namely, if they would rell their lands, ko. Sruinowakovcr them rose and said—This ia a question of vast importance to ourselves and to our children’s children.

Drary, quite a large number of persons visited the police office, with an idea of being able to discover some of their lost or stolen property. Among this number, we are in- formed, was a Mr. Taylor, Attorney for the Insurance Company, with whom Mr. Drury was insured prior to his premises being consumed by fire. These watches, itis now alleged, correspond by numbers to the inven- tory made out and sworn to by Mr. Drury, as having been destroyed ig 4 fire. The insurance companies, we understand, have paid up the amount due Mr. Drury; but the discovery of this property may possibly induce them to take steps anew in the matter Charge of Re .—A man by the name of Robert Niel was arrested, yesterday, by the officers of the 4th ward, on a charge of knocking down James Gardner, residing at No. 66 Cherry street, and stealing from his person @ pocket-book containing $5, and then running off by the assistance of an accomplice. /t seems that on Sunday night the accused called in to see Gardner at his boarding house, No 66 Cherry street, and, after a short conversation together, the accused invited Gard- ner to go down to Patrick Tigh’s porter house and take a drink; to this Gardner consented,and on passing down | stairs and along the entry, which was dark,before com- ing te the street door, O’Niel struck Gardner a violent blow on the head, and two others on the neck and body, knocking him down, and then by force took from ns his pocket the book and money, as above stated, und made his Kn ‘The next morning the aecused was arrested, and identified by the complainant as the man who committed the assault and robbed him. On the policemen conveying the prisener to the station house, e threw from his person the identical pocket-book, containing the $5, as described by Gardner. The book was picked up by the officers, and was at once identified by Gardner as his property. Justice Mountfort, on hearing the testimony, committed him to the Tombs, to await his trial on a charge of robbery in the first degree. sirvest of Hall Thieves.—Oficer Peterson, of the 17th ward, arrested, on Monday evening, two hall thieves, pag bao aye] James Jobnson and Henry Auder- fon, whom the officer detected coming from the entry of the residence of Mr. J. F. Conner, in Sth street, near ‘2d Avenue, one of the rogues having on his arm an over- coat, stolen from the entry, valued at $15. They were taken before Justice Metirath and committed. Now that the fall of the year has set in, our citizens must be careful and lock the street doors before sunset, as the entry thieves have begun to plunder the entrivs of over- coats, cloaks, hats, &c., Sc., especially the up-town dwellings. Arrest of a Burglar —A fellow named John Williams Theatrical and Musical. Bowery Tuxarne.—The play of Mr, Lester is de- eidedly the cynosure of attraction at this place of amusement, We cannot but repeat our praise of the excellent adaptation of the novel of Dumas, “Lea Trois Mousquetaires.”” The part of Mr. Lester, D’Ar- tagnon, is certainly one of the best in the drama, The “ Three Guardsmen,” Messrs. Gilbert, the imposing Porthos, Wallack, the noble Count de la Fore, and Ar- nold, the Cardinal Richelieu, are nightly ‘received with much applau: Whilst we are ing of Mr. Arnold, w ‘frain making a marks on his actin, omember having seen this actor five years ago, when he was performing on board of the pautics Temple of the Muses,” and since that period he has much improved in his profession, The style which he has imparted to his rdle\of the Cardinal Richelieu is well understood, and he renders admirabl. the cunning and daring of the greatest politician of hi age We wish Mr, Lester would write a longer speech the end of the fifth tabi it would be of benefit to Mr. Armold, and would be a judicious addi- tiom to the character of the Cardinal.

Broapway Trratre —The English opera, at the Broadway, is still suecessful, under the conduct of the Seguin troupe. Last evening, Auber’s opera of “Fra Diavolo” was performed, to the admiration of the audience in attendance. Mr. W. H. Reeves assumed the part of Fra Diavolo, and acquitted himself, as he sivays does, well. The parts of Beppo and Giocome, the brigands, were assumed by Messrs. Meyer and Se- guin respectively, and were played and sung in good taste. Zerlina was personated by Mrs. Seguin, and Lady Alleash by Mrs, Blake, We can but speak in terms of general praise of the performance, The songs, concerted pieces, choruses, and all, were performed ina style which drew from the large auditory frequent plaudits, At every return of Mr. Reeves to our city, ¢ gains new admirers, His voice is @ peculiar one but always pleasing; it {s very fine, and his music execution is extremely correct The bill for the eve- ning concluded with the farce of the“ Milliners’ Holi- day” ‘To night, we see that Miss Rosa Jaques is to appear as Norma, for the benefit of Mr. Seguin.

Benton's Tueatke.—The heading of the bill of tertainments at Burton's theatre, in Chambers street, last evening, was Too Good to Change,” and that the “ame bill’ would be repeated. We concur in the propriety of that heading, for ly the bill was too good to change, especially when we consider “ the un- equalled cast of talent and Le ed which charac- terized it. But, joking aside, Brougham’s comed, “ Romance and Reality” is deeidedly one of the pieces that has been produced on the stage for a long time, and we do not wonder at the sucowss which has attended it. The various charact f the Cosmopo- lite, the ardeot young. Virginian, the Exclusive, Ke. are admirably wrought, and as admirably portrayed by the several parties to whom they are entrusted. Not the least interesting feature of the comedy is the epilogue at the conclusion, which deserves to be men- tioned In more than favorable terms.
