Cometetion or rug New Yorn ann Eni Rarnoap.—We learn that the New York end Erie | road is nearly completed, and that in a short time | care will be ranning on it from Piermont to Duo- hirk—the whole distance, It will have, however, but a ingle track, and it will be some years yet wre the great work will develope all the influence that it will exert on all points along the whole This railroad will commence a great chang: in the tran-portation of passengers and produce | from the valley of the M ppi to the Atlantic seacoast. if Jersey City showld be made the ter- minwe at thie d, it will give a great impulee to that place, and cause the erection on the west side of the river of a number of fine stores and other buildings, aud extensive docks. The samo effecta will be witnessed in Tuukirk, ood in a few years that place will probably be the rival of Buffalo | } route. | Te Cuay Feerivas, Lase Gvesive.—The Clay fertival Inst evening, at the Agollo Rooms, was on® f the most brilliant affwirs of the kind that ever took place in this city. Abutt five hundred per- sone sat down to dinner; and after the cloth was rv- | moved, Mesere. Willi: Hall, Jos. L. White and N. B Hunt, Gen. Mather, Geo. Cornell amd others, made very happy and very eloquent speeches. The en- thueiaem that was manifested in favor of Henry Clay, was of the deepest and most fervid character. We shall give a full report of the speeches and pro- @eelinge ig tomorrow's Meruld, | New xp LurorraNt Dietomatic APPOINTMENT. ~The ex-Minister to Austria, appointed hy the exe- cutive of the United States, we thought had com- pleted bis labor of squaring the diplomatio circle ; but the appearance on Saturday, in his Courier and Enquirer, ov in its supplement, of a ponderous mani- festo, meant as a supple exposition of an American view, through Austrian spectacles, of the Hungarian struggle for independence, hus changed our opinion. ‘The ex-Minister appears to have received instruc- tion from the Vienna college of diplomats; and he pours out an historical lecture against Kossuth and the Hungarian rasoals—as he would teach the world to believe them to be—not only generally, but speci- fically—turning the opinions of all Christendom up- side down, and making out that the struggle, like that of the Greeks, was one carried on by pirates, or something worse. Weconfoss we do not understand all this, except in the belief that Mr. Webb has been honored as Commissioner Extraordinary of Austria on Public Opinions, or Austrian Minister Plenipotentiary on Historical Precision. However, as we propose to go to Europe next summer, and have a full intention to visit Vienna, we think it advisable and safe not to give any opinion against an agent so zealous and industrious in behalf of Austria and it may be necessary to have his signature to our passports. If there were cruelties on the side of the associates of Kossuth, there were equally de- plorable acts onthe other side ; and, in investigating the subject in all its relations, historical justice de- the other. In this bulletin extraordinary, which Mr. Webb while he has been absent, Prof. Bowen, of Cam- bridge, has been over the same ground, and has teen dislodged from it. Mr. Bowen has obtained more kicks than coppers, because he was not an ao- credited agent of Auttria. What Mr. Webb’s fate may be, we cannot tell. If he is the authorized agent of Austria—with fifty-two thousand dolllars, more or lese, for his mission—it makes a mighty difference in the consequences. Prof. Bowen knocked his publication into a cecked hat, and lost, we be- lieve, his professorship—a severe rebuke for an honest avowal of opinions; but the fate of one who defends Austria, from impulses gained at Vienna, will not be so hard; first, because the new manifesto is not so ingenious as the original one by Mr Bowen, and is evidently published with some show of autho- rity; and secondly, because it cannot have aay | der which itfis published. It is a special plea, in every sense of the term, and like all special pleas, will have but little intlueece. sto the republican rights involved in the con- troversy—the democratic elements which were to have been preserved by tho Hungarian struggle. there seems to be little scope for debate—at least, his argument. Hard names, applied to Kossuth and his policy, appear to be the points most relied upon ; and as for procfs, they seem rather too ez- parte, on the part of the ex-Minister, to be taken for more than aesertions collated at the court of Vienna. They may be deemed very brilliant there, | and may bring Mr. Webb some lofty distinction— | an order, perhaps, or even an appointment as Aidedecamp ct Grand Maréchal de Munchausen, or of Humbug. there is an appointment known as le Colonel de Dredervhs. This might be more acceptable than the others, as Mr. Webb has enjoyed the reputation of being colonel, without any specific distinotion, and this genuine Austrian honor would probably be much relished by the descendants of Diederich Knick- erbocker. On the whole, wejthink that this mani- festo is a pretty plausible refutation of Mr. Web- etter to M. Hulsemonn, the Austrian Chai shington, which will be properly appreciated in every proper quarter. ‘Tue Mopr or Asszssixe Perse | rus Crry.—Our attention has been called to a case | of the assessment of personal property in this | which certainly shows a very loose way of doi | business.

As the Germans, next to Irish, constitute the largest portion of the emi- grants to this coumtry, and become the cultivators of our soil in the far West, this document must , prove interesting to our readers. It is worthy of | remark that the success of the Germans as farmers in the interior, exceeds that of the people of any other natioa. It is chiefly owing to the systematic and admirable arrangements made by the German Society to give information to emigrants of | their race, and to guide their footsteps through prairie and forest. The German Society does not confine itself to doing good for the emigrants on | their arrival. It is also in active correspondence with societies and influential men in Germany. A | society was opened in Bremen on the lst of March | of this year, to give advice and assistance to emi- grants on their starting, and to act in co-operation with the German Society here. With all its faults, and with abuses that have sprung up from time to time, and have been cor- rected when discovered, the Germany Society of this city is the only one among the different emi- grant societies that comes up at all to the measure | of its duty. As for the Irish Society, we cannot find what good it does under heaven. We see ad- | vertisements in some of the Irish papers, directing | the Irish emigrants to go to an office in Spruce street for intelligence and advice; but there has | been no office of the kind there for the last year and a half; and it would seem that to make money out of the prosperous emigrants, by remitting back ' their money to their friends in Ireland, or keeping it for them in a savings bank, is the only object of | this institution. They have an establishment of | this kind in Chambers street, and the president, | Gregory Dillon, pockets his $2,000 per annum. This isa strange way of assisting the poor Irish emi- | grants, who require assistance more than any other | race who come to this country. Instead of being | agsieted, they are, with very few exceptions, preyed | upon and tusmed into capital, politically and other- | wise. St. tieorge’s Society, and the French Society? What have they done for the emigrants of their | respective nations? We pause for a reply. cent Wallace’s concert, on the twenty-second of the month, will commence the musical season in New York, which will be the most brilliant one ever | known in this country, because there will be in the city, between this time and the middle of June, an array of musical talent only second to that which will be in London during the World’s Fair. Many of the great artists have already arrived in the me- tropolis, and more are to follow within a few weeks. We have slready me: rived, aud we now learn that Badiali, Colletti, and the tenor, Bettini, whose illness last season interfered | with his intention of being heard at the Opera, are in town. business we haye no means of ascertaining; bat Bar- num will seon be here to arrange for the Jenny Lind concerts, and may strengthen his forces, even though he bas already engaged Salvi, who is waiting to ful- engagement. Bettini may be engaged by | Maretzek for the middle of June, when the empresa- rio will open Castle Garden; but should this uct take | Place, we must hand thi j some cepable manager, for he has a fresh, sweet voice, great expression, and an admirable method, which the public ought to be acquainted with. With such | a tenor, the Opera would be greatly strengthened. oO Vietti will, also, be here during the season. the grand basso, is in town, also; and, no doubt, he will be secured, if possible, by the enter- ing Maretzek, fur the great musical season. Besides these, we shall have the return of the opera troupe from Chazleston, or at least a portion them. Beneventano is sure to come; and Miss | Virginia Whiting, who has recently been so favor- | ably received at the South, as Lucia, will come | back to us with more confidence, end with the cer tved | tainty of further success bere, where she is already | | popular. Lorini, too, will return sometime in the course of the summer, and Parodi and Hauser, hav- y notified that your personel | ing finished their tour, will arrive at the very height | }\. of the season, to reinvigorate the public relish, after the other musical triumphs have excited the enthu- a of the community.

On the whole, there is a great improvement. We have taken notes, but must reserve details for the present. We shall probably recur to the subject in a day or two.

It is preeumed that the owner has as good o right to know what is the value of his pro- | perty as has another, and it would sem but just | that the owner should be consulted.
