The solution of the problem commenced lately — to continue our brief history—in London, where our article on the World’s Fair beeame the topic of the day in the coffee houses, the saloous, in Pare liament, at the Horse Guards, and in the eabinet | parlor in Downing street. The Times—judieious and astute in selecting articles from American meaning concealed beneath the playful style which best suits (he * go ahead” readers of this country, copied the article in question, and a political dis- sionwas wrought out of the cireumstange, because the government took very proper precautionary mcesures to cheek any and every disposition on the part of reckless adventurers for a popular tumult. The New York Herald was then dragged into the discussion, and a pliant American correspoadent of the Londoa Moruing Post undertook, in a “ re- spectable” way, connected, as he has been, with a “respectable” paper, to show the “respectable” education which be has had in the republic of letters, Crimination and reerimination on the point, in which the editor of the Courier | aud Enquirer, and we do not know who else, were involved, beeame the order of the day; and hence is it, that we are now favored, on this side of the Atlantic, with the bulletins of New York journals, which appear in our columns from the “respectable” press, par excellence. We give them in full; and ag there are always two sides jon, we shall publish the “respectable” replies ot he other side to these specimens of per- sonal apy tion, asa measure of justice to all partics, quite catistied that the intelligent commu- ity ested to know what is indeed “ respect- journalism, will be perfectly aware that the Herel has not that kind of “respectabi- | * and other gros names to indi- sis, who, whatever may be their faults, have never been convicted of atrocities whieh make such pame# reasonable or proper ina public journal. Jesse, Webb, Willis & Co. may, perchance, know best each other's reputations and charasters. However, we are quite contented to abide the issne of this fresh quarrel, of which we have been the irnocent cause, entirely satisfied, as we always have been, that those who may have abused our eontiderce, or who may have selfi-hly sacrificed us, by forgetting the spirit which should animate those who belong to the profession of journalism, will never be able to abridge the measure of that sel respect which has sustained us not only against per- sons! enmity, but even against the malevolent tom- | bination of the self-styled “:espectable” journals * metropolis, whose merits and demerits are | well known and appreciated. | t, to this hour, the success of our establish- | ment it athorn in the sides of many journals in this comniry. The decaying and effete National | Intelligencer, and the imbecile and rapidly ex- | piring Express, and some other journals, are in a state of utter despair, and throw themselves into the contortions of death, at the position of the Now York Herald in Europe. They lash | the London Times, and all the other journals | of high repute, abroad, which copy the well digested | and authentis news which the Hera/d has the bost means for obtaining, while other American papers are publishing hoaxes and stupid essays, which no- body ever reads. llowever, all theirfary is of little | Journalists who know their business are not to be deceived by envy, spite, or spleen. As to the old, desaying journals of this country, who cares derstand a joke. As to the journal at Washingtoa, it is an expiring, bankrupt concern, which doea not contain, ina month, as much useful information as the Heald cansupply any morning before breakfast. Now, as to the standing and position of the New Yorl: Herald, about which there is such a hue and cry, What i+ the reasenof it? Why, it is the cir culation of the journal, which people must have, from Palmer's Land up to the North Pole, and from ibe coast of Japan, by the over- lacd route, to the mouth of the Columbia river, becouse it is the soul of the whole world deguerreotyped with the true colors which make it | understood. Now, we will venture to say, throw- ing out the enormous circulation of the New York Hordd in Larope, and every other of the | globt, beyond the United States, that mo journal ia | this country has so large acirculation in all the | large towns, from Maine to California. If the Loa- don Tins is to be blamed for appreciating the news contained in its columns, the same kind of censure should be applicd to Americans at home, who always seek this journal in preference t» all these which pretend to be instructed about the | news and public affairs. The truth is that nothing annoys these sinking journals more than the growth | and prosperity, in both hemispheres, of this same New York Herald. They are too stupid to under- stand it, and go on, day after day, sinking the mo- | ney that they can sorape together, and when they are forced to draw on their capital—got by hook or —they are so full of spite that they level enterprise whieh they hare not the | It iva sure sign of fin f these journals, whe yw as well aswedo.

At Castle Gar-— den, he has that celebrated and popular artiste, | Jenny Lind, the greatest ventriloquial vocalist of } any age, with the enor of Salvi (who has been bet- — ter,) and the barytone of Belletti (who is better | than he has been), to carry on hia concerts. He has alsothe Bateman children, diminutive in sta- | tore, and great in Shakspeare, just returned from the great West, and now about to be sent by the indefatigable to London, where they ought to take | the same apartments, at Markwell’s hotel, which | were consecrated, ‘ without that service of plate,” | by the genius and presence of General Tom Thumb. Besides these wonders, Barnum has got nine ele- phauts and a big snake, recently arrived from Siam —Tom Thumb rides on the largest elephant—with which he hopes to astonish all the world and New Jersey. These elephants are great travellers, and carry their own trunks, and perform wonderfully well. They are not like the show at Castle Garden, which is an exhibition of consummate, downright art; but they perform naturally, and shake, and scream, and dance in and out before spectators, the | emblems of rature’s own innocence. In addition to these raree shows, we learn that the vast minded Barnum is iadirectly engaged in an | entertainment emanating from the Tombs, in whieh | “the hero of a hundred shows” conclusively shows, , or will show, how he has been shaved out of thirty | thousand dollars by the expert operators of Wall strcet—we mean the trial of Cryder and <MoKay. | ‘This will be a rare exhibition, because it will be a_ very curious inquiry how Wall street has been able to obtain a handsome per eeatage out ef the Lind | concerts. The brokers there ought to have been | contented with ten free tickets each. If the iaves- ation at the Tombs does not reveal enough to exhibit the glory of the great Napoleon of show- | men as a financier and speculator, the public ean | look a little further, for Barnum is getting to be baronical as to estates. He is likely to have as! many palaces as shows. Ivanistan having been | desecrated by the slight footeprints of the aristo- cratic Chinese lady, Miss Foy, is to be closed, or and Nick Biddle’s palace, built like the old United States Pank, with the fands of that in. stitution, and ealled Andalusia, has been purchased. As Fonthill Castle, on the Hudson, is also in the market, we presume that Mr. Forrest will surren- der ty Barnum, a3 the successor of all that is legiti- | mate, and we shall soon hear, also, that the Bona- | parte castle, at Bordentown, now a boarding house, has fallen into the hands of the greatest man of the age. That Barnum has no equal in the world is now evident. He beats Brandreth, and sarsaparilla Town, send, and Dr. Mofiat, all to pieces. Day and Martin were something, and Warren, 30 Strand, was ditto; but Barnum’s soul is above blacking, and needs no foreign polish. Though we esteem him as a good friend to everybody, and to the human race, and admire his lectures on temperance, and his care of the nine elephants and the big suake, we eannot do jastice to bim without recording our perfect as- tonisbment at his enterprise. In truth, he has not only made us wonder, but all Wall street into the bargain; and if Hervio Nano were alive—he who wa; caged in London as the wild man from Africa—he would beastonished, too. Why, Barnum has authors, writere, poets, and correspondents, who outnumber those of President Fillmore’s cabinet, aud who fill the newspapers, from Maine to Mexico, with his prais Even the Naw York Herald has not more than twice | az many authors, poets, students and reporters at- tached to its editorial department, as Barnum has to the skirts of his black coat. His corps of writers | form the ‘real central literary bureau,” which has ; antihilated criticism, common sense, and every ra- tional opinion upon art, by flooding all the jouraals of this metropolis, and the country beyond, with whole vocabularies of hyperbole, poetry, philoso, phy, and fustian. Nobody need ask now—whore’s Barnum? He is everywhere, and everybody else is nowhere. By and by the sun will shine alone for Barnum or his agents—the moon and stars will gild the night for Barnum alone—and the | world will be, as it has always been, his oyster—_ his own exclusive oyster. He fills the whole country with his deeds, his fame, bis shows, and his hu:a- bugs. Ile takos Jenny Lind, and the Batemans of small dimensions, and the nine elephaats of large dimensions, and the snakes of huge folds, led on by Gereral Tom Thumb, and carries them on through the world as though he were a monarch. He sits, with cmbroidered slippers on his classic feet, is | suirg edicts more sacred than the laws of the Medes and the Persians, and there is no man lerge cnough to comyete with him. Jenny Lind, Joyce Heth, Tom | Thumb, Salvi, Bellotti, the woolly horee, the giaats, | and all the remarkable personages, living and dead, whom he directs, or has directed, if rolled together to form one great being, would not equal, in point of wniversality of genius, Barnum, the profound, | the maguificont, the stupendous Barnum, the great | millionaire manager of the age Sovruren Lirenaturr.—The Southern Quar- torly Review, for April, has been published at | | Charleston, and its contents, with the exeeption of the article on journalism—which appears to be | the production of a tyro—are generally very moci- torious. The articles on slavery are highly inte- | resting at the present t me, and the American tone of the various authors who have contributed to the work, is not the least refreshing attraction of this long established pertodical. We should not, how- ever, neglect to notice the remarkable article, “The Prospect before us,” which hes sprung from the pen of a South Carotinian. It is a declamation ia favor of secession, which contains not one lingering regret at the expression of thoughts fvorable to a Aissolution of the Union—and is the type of many outh Carolina, at the present hour. ints, says that, in 1787, the population of New Yo: 8 twenty-three that of Charleston fifteen thousand; exports of New York were exceed cd by those of Charleston by four hundred thou- are. ‘The cost to the State h of the revolutionary war is put ot twenty-five thousand negroes and two mil lions of pounds sterling, and the changes whi have impover'shed South Care ed to the enuses. ‘The tariff cf 178%—the cod-fisharies , Which gave to New Engla If the en sin The writer, in down lina ore tra in 14 vileges on noesly om ited Sta oa, wn the Union. r having given the causes of diseat to some rather ha nin which South ( would find herself dependent nation.

It seems that he has taken pas- ra steamer, and gone to Europe, may probably stay months, if not years, with his old erony, Tom Warner. Wilkes is now in a very pe- culiar fix, and none of the associates whom he has ' Loft behind, either lawyers, agents, reportera, or stool pigeons, will be able to get him out of the hands of justice. Inthe Jordan case, he has outraged all engaged in the proceedings, by continuing his libels on the | court in Poughkeepsie, to say nothing of the at- tacks on his old friends, Judge Greenwood & Co., of Brooklyn. The proses for a stay of proceedings, in order to get a new trial, has received a coup de grace, and the standing order of the court ia, ‘that he or his friends give good bail for $2,500,” a mat- terwhich, we believe, it would be very difficult to find in his present dilemma. In fact, he has raa off { without giving bail im reference to the court of Pougtkeepsie. His position is, however, notso bad as it will be. The tenth article of the treaty between the | United States and Great Britain, entered into in 1812, provides that all persons charged with the | crime of murder, or assault with intent to commit murder, or piracy, or arson, or robbery, or forgery, or the utterance of forged paper, shall be given up to justice. According to this treaty, a fugitive from a conviction of misdemeanor, ina libel caso, | isnot included in that instrument; but there every expectation that indictments will be found ust Wilkes, either for robbery in Queen's county, or for aiding and assisting in the issuing of counterfeit money with One-Eyed Thompson. In cither evse, he will come under the treaty between the two countries, and the requisition will be answered by the authorities of Girea’. Britain. Jn the meantime, it is singular to know that po- lice officer Bowyer—one of the most expert in this city—has, with two aesociates, also taken pas- snge in the same vessel with Wilkes, and will keep his eye upon him, at the World's Fair and else- where in England. Warner and Wilkes will soon shake hands with each other at the Old Bailey. Trinrry Cuvren—Missionary Jvnitre.—We understand that the Episcopalians in Great Britain and Iveland, the British Colonies, the United States, and throughout the world, are making arrange- ments, at the particular request of the Archbishop of Canterbury, to solemnize, by a grand celebra- tion, the third eemi-centennial jubilee of that most venerable of the patriarchal societies of Protestant England,—the “ Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts.” Founded in the year 1701, it has almost attained the good old age of a hundred and fifty years. It is the chief pride of England's noble charities, and during the century and a balf now closing, it has boon traversing, in a sublime manner, the darkest moral wastes of Eu- “ope, Asia, Africa, and America, literally “preach- ing in the wilderness,” like another John Baptist, | nd, in the spirit of that great reformer, proclaim. | ing the awakening, elevating, consoling, and puri- fying truths of gospel revelation. The venera- ble society has had, for its Presidents, eleven suc- cessive Archbishops of the Anglican chureh. It | has, for years past, been contributing, annually, to the support of seven hundred missionaries, cate- chists, divinity students, and schoolmasters. And its annual expenditure has, for several years, ex- ceeded three hundred thousand dollars. tains missionaries in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, the Canadas, Newfoundland, Labrador, Lake Hu- | rov, Prince Rupert’s Land, the Wes: Indies and neghboring islands, Guiana, the East Indies, Cey- lon, China, Australia, New Zealand, Van Diemen's Lavd, and the Cape of Good Hope, as well as nu- merous and remote almost nameless parts of the vart field occupied by Christian missions. It is now busied, not merely with aiding missionaries among Chyi-tians in the British colonies, but with enligh*- ening the minds and elevating the condition of the Hindoo, the Chinese, and the New Zenlander, the | Hettentot of South Africa, and the untutored In- | dian of our forests. On the opening of the society’s jubilee year, Monday, Jane Wi, there is to be a solemn service in Neg = Eo nega in this citys and, on the same day, the jubilee services will be per- formed in Westminster Abboy, with unnsual pomp. if rightly managed, the solemnities of the occasion may serve a very — purpose, by arresting the impetuosity of the present uniia fe among England’s churebmen; by ex Christendom the great enterprise of Vritish and the great munificence of jvitish clarity; by awakening, inthe various and remotest branches the Church of England, a general and deep emotion of sywpathy and good will. Gas.—The fossil remains of tie convention which framed the present constitution of this State assembled yesterday in Albany, for the purpose, as itis alleged, of telling what they meant by the Ginaa- cial provisions in that instrument. All gas! They have no more right to improse upon that instru- ment their meaning, than any other equal number of individuals, who voted for the doeumont itself, when it was originally accepted. The people of this State, who voted in favor of tho constitution, and who are to vote at a special election in a few weeks in reference to the Canal question, are the only parties who have any authority that chould be considered final or irrevocable.
