Mr. Secretary Corwin, according to representations, is very much annoyed by the attempts of a committee from New York, gow at Washington, to make him reverse his de- cision with respect to the removal of Dr. Van Wyck | from the office of inspector of drugs, in the New York custom house.

Uon—Constitutional Re-action in the North. ‘We were agreeably surprised with the splendid speech which Mr. Webster delivered at Albany, the day before yesterday, a full report of which we publish in our columns today. We had almost thought that this great statesman had said all he could say on the great topics of the day; but his fertile mind grasped them in other lights and in other shades, and to the great pleasure of the pub- lic, we find that his Albany speech is equally inte- | resting and equally important as the one which he delivered in Bufulo, in the midst of a fall of raim | which deluged that city and soaked equally the orator, his auditory, and the reporters. We com- mend this speech—both speeches—to the attentive | perusal of our readers, and express the hope that none of them will omit to read, reflect upon, and inwardly digest the great and mighty truths which they contain. The position which Mr. Webster now holds at the North is one of the highest and noblest that any man ever occupied. The passage of the com- | Promise measures in the last Congress, after a de- bate which was characterized by terrible fierce- mess and «xtreme duration, in both houses, was merely the first great blow of constitutional re- action which the necessities of the times and the fanaticiem of the day rendered necessary for the | preservation of the Union. That reaction in Con- gress was commenced by the great genius and mighty talents of Mr. Clay, aided and assisted by several other distinguished men and patriote—such | as Cass, Dickinson, Foote—but it was steadied, rivetted, and made solid, by the adhesion of Mr. Webster to the new constitutional platform, and his abandonment of all local fanaticism, and of all fanatics, for the safety of the Union, and the preser- vation of the constitution as we received it from our | fathers Yet the battle of the constitution, which was fought during the compromise campaign in Con- gress, was, only the commencement of the great intellectual campaign that must be continued and conducted to a glorious issue before this | country will be free from danger—before the cun- stitution is secured from the assaults of its enemies | —before fanaticism i+ laidin the dust—before the institutions transmitted to us by our ancestors can be made permanent, at least for another genera- tion, or another half century | Let uslook back, for a moment, at the state of | the times between the termination of the last Con- gress and the period when Mr. Webster summoned @ourage to take the field and become the leader of the great constitutional reaction which we now witness. The passage of the compromise measures in Con gress, which were so necessary for the preservation of the Union, tended at the time only to increase | the virulence of the anti-slavery factions of New | York and New England, and te give occasion for all those violent contests and anti slavery triumphs, in the Senatorial elections of Ohio, Massachusetts and New York, which we have since witnessed. Anti-rlavery fanaticism appeared to be rising higher and higher; the assaults on the constitution, the promu)gation of treason, and of disunion sentiments, ‘inereared at the North and at the South in conse- quence; and it was not until Mr. Webster exhibited the courage of a lofty statesman and great patriot, took the field in person, and led the forces of the Constitution, that we have had any reason to hope or expect any safe or sound re-action im the public mind, on thore important questions on which the Proservation of the Union so much depends. Who, among the great statesmen of the North, has exhi- bited the moral and political courage to take the high constitutional ground which we have seon Mr. Webster take at Huffalo, at Rochester, and else where in Western New York, and more recently at Albary and other places in this State! Not one. There is # moral sublimity in euch a spectacle which gives hope for the success of the ¢ of the None of those men who participated | tation, and in the compro- | | i consti tition. | bofore all those who think with him, and with him | patriotic mind of the country. | value of cotton politics, according to this estimate, | most | sum of one hundred millions of dollars. Now, | ceived, for the promotion of abolition sentiments in | the South and Southern institutions, in every sach a manifest want of courage and determination are before us. But there is hope. Mr. Webster’s position, at the present time, is higher than that of any cabinet minister could be—nobler than that ofa candidate for the presidency—mightier and more im- posing than that ofa general at the head of an army in battle array—were it either Scott who conquered Santa’Anna, but let him run away, or HédBton, who both caught and conquered the Mexican Napoleon on thesame day. He has exhibited the moral sublimity of a statesman abandonding — sectional interests, casting aside the prejudices of birth and education, and of viewing, with the dark penetrating eye of in- telligence, the oxpanse of this mighty country, from ocean to ocean, and from north to south, and deli- neating for himself, and for the whole people of the North, the great constitutional highway which alone can lead to the preservation of the Union, and to the fulfilment of that great destiny which exists in the future for this mighty and much favored nation. We do not number ourselves among the partisans of Mr. Webster—we do not belong to any party, or hold on to the coat tail of any man. Mr. Web- ster’s faults and foibles have been commented upon, and treated with as much severity, in the columns of this journal, in times past, as those of any other public map or statesman of the day. In according, therefore, to Mr. Webster, the high honor of being the great Jeader of the North, above and beyond either the whig or democratic party, we do but simple justice to a statesman who has exhibited the high moral courage and patriotism so essential, but so scarce, at this trying time, and which alone was | wanting to perfect the character of the greatest man | of the day. The good work, however, is only commenced. | The great spirit of reaction has only been awakened at the magic voice of the eloquent orator of Marsh- field. There is a mighty campaign before him, and | are determined to oppose the fanatics of the day, at the South as well as at the North, who seem as if they were determined, to the extent of their abi- lity, to impede the march of the country from the | great and grand destiny which is before it. Mr. | Webster ought to leave the cabinet instantly. The associations of Washington tend only to cramp his spirit, and weaken his power over the honest and What can such a man as Mr. Webster gain by associating with those who comprise the present Mosaic work in the cabi- net? He has agreat work before him. He ought to travel over the whole North and Northwest, and finish the work of reaction which he has so glo- | riously commenced. Lis elevation to the Presi. dency may be improbable—a hope never to be real- ized—but no one can deny to him, in the future his- tory of this great republic, a higher niche in the | temple of patriotism than the mere four years dis- | tribution of $200,000,000 of spoils to hungry pau- | pers—that of the deliverer of his country from sec- tional agitation and ultimate dissolution. He is the only great statesman of the North who had the courage to attempt to reseue the country from fa- naticism and fanatics. The work, however, is only begun. Whocan finish it in the North but Daniel ‘Webster, or Henry Clay in the Great West t | Corrox Porsrics.—We have heard a great deal, within the last half year or so, about cotton poli- tics—about the influence which cotton has exer- cised in putting down the slavery agitation and pre- serring the Union of these States whole and unimpaired. The term has been used in avery opprobious sense, and all who took part in staying the tide of fanaticism which threatened to inundate the Northern and New England States, have been termed cotton politicians. We have not heard what the estimated value of cotton polities is; but, in a review of the slavery question, published ina Southern State, we see a statement of its value, which is nearly correct, if not entirely so. The is as follows :— $40,186,728 9.000,000 1,000,000 bh . 22,250,000 Profits on Western produce descending the Missiseippt - ss ie bean cx echeaenseaecain. Profits on Northern capital employed at the BOWER. ve seccccccccccceseveccesccecsvcccs CRORSUD Annual value of cotton politics to theNorth. $88,000,000 These estimates, we are informed, do not embrace a varicty of transactions which form the basis of corporate profits, such as the expendi- tures of Southern people travelling on railroads, visiting our great cities and fashionable water- ing places, Ke., &c., which are believed to amount to twelve millions of dollars more per annum-- making the total value of cotton politics the round while the Northern States are enjoying these vast profits from their intercourse with the South, many of them are employing the very money thus re- the North, by supporting and patronising abolition newspapers, such as the Tribune and Evening Post, of New York, the Evening Journal and Atlas, of Albany, which disseminate hatred and ill-will to possible way. Let those who are thus expending the very money which they derive from the South, in injuring the South, reflect what an in- fluence the withdrawal of this vast annual sum would have on the receipts of our Northern rail- roads, at fashionable hotels, on the manufacturing im ng interests of the North. What fanaticism. folly, what recklessness, what madness ‘and suicide, is it not, then, for the North to be endeavor- ing, as it is, year after 4 and day after day, to kill the goose which lays the golden egg! Do these men imagine for a moment that, if the Southern States were compelled by Northern gression to secede from the Union, they would con- tinue to enjoy this vast annual profit from the South ? The South is more valuable to the North | than half a dozen Californias. Cotton politics, in- deed! There is more in the term than half of the fools who use it can comprehend. Re Cg but oue idea, and can't see farther than their noses. | of revolutionizing Cuba has not been by any means | try a feeling in favor of aiding and assisting the | combinations, that the unhappy catastrophe at Ho- It is supposed by a great many, that because the Cuban expeditionists have been foiled in their at- tempt to effect a departure from the shores of the United States, with men and munitions of war, for the purpese of effecting a landing in Cuba, their design of revolutionizing that island, and of afterwards annexing it to the United States, has been abandoned. It is true that appearances seem to justify the soundness of that opinion, because the parties who had enlisted for the enterprise, in differ- ent parts of the country, have, according to all ac” counts, returned to theirhomes. Many of the ring- leaders are either in prison or at large on bail, and a quantity of gunpowder and arms has been seized by the agents of the government at this and other ports. Notwithstanding all these things, however, we are inclined to think that the project abandoned, and that the leaders, having failed, in consequence of the interference of the government at Washington, in collecting a sufficient naval force | to transport the invaders to Cuba, are about to | pursue another course, which in the end wll, per- haps, be more successful for the object they have | in view. ‘The course which, according to all accounts, the | invaders are about to pursue, and which, indeed, / they have already commenced, is to appeal to the sympathies of the whole people of the United States ~—to woik on their feelings, and create in their minds compassion for a people who are ardent in their love of liberty, but who cannot enjoy it solong as they are a dependency of the Spanish crown— who are willing and anxious to throw off the fetters which bind them, and who look wistfully | to the United States for aid and assistance to | enable them todo so successfully. It is well known | that there exists in the breast of every American an earnest desire that every people under the sun should partake of and enjoy the blessings of liberty | aad self government, as they exist in the United States, and that every descendant.of the men who formed the government and institutions under which we live, considers himself, to a certain ex- tent, an apostle of liberty, whose duty it is to instil | into the minds of the oppressed of every clime, the great truths which were transmitted to him by his | fathers, and which are contained in the Declaration | of Independence—the modern magna charta of | universal liberty. This being the case, we can | easily account for the intense feeling which the strug- | gle of the Greeks, of the Irish, of the Hungarians, of the Italians, in our day and generation, created | throughout the United States, and of the vast sums of money which were contributed to assist those | people in ridding themselves of their oppressors. Constituted as the American mind is, it is easy to | see the effect which such an appeal would have in the United States. It is easy to see that, ia a com- | paratively short time, it would effect in this coun- people of Cuba in their efforts to establish their in- dependence, which no administration could control, and which would burst all restrictions that might be placed upon it. The government itself—and our statesmen, of all classes and parties—would be com- pelled to give way to it, for good or for evil. We have seen the force and effect of the sympathy in New Orleans, for the deliverance of Cuba from | Spanish authority, within a few months. We have | seen effort after effort to convict the men who par- | ticipated in the invasion of Cardenas, fail—all be- | cause the sympathy of the public in that region swallowed up every other consideration. This system of tactics has been commenced in New Orleans already. Within a few days, we have read resolutions sympathising with the people of Cuba, which were passed at a public meeting in that city; and we have no doubt that the move- | ment will be followed up in other places, and very likely in New York, before long. We should not be at all surprised if some demagogues were to call | a public meeting of this character in this city, witbin a short time, with the twofold object of in- fluencing the trials of O'Sullivan and others, who were recently indicted by the Grand Jury for taking a part in the last attempt to invade Cuba, and, if possible, procuring their acquittal; and, in the next place, with the view of working on the sympathies of the North in favor of the people of Cuba, and of the movement to produce a revolution in that island. There is net so much room for such an undertaking at the North as there is in the South, for the people of the former take, compara- tively speaking, but little interest in Cuban affairs. The case is different at the South, however, for there a revolution in Cuba, and its subsequent annexation to the United States, have taken root in the minds of a large portion of the people. It will be seen, therefore, that so far from the | revolutionizing of Cuba having been abandoned in | the United States, the American allies of the revolu- | tionary party are only changing their system of ope- | rations; and, if they persevere, we would not bo at all surprised to see the Cuban question intimate! mixed up with the next Presidential election. It fs a subject which would be popular in the Southern | States, and which politicians would gladly avail | themselves of, to further their own purposes. We a await farther developmente—but we the ture. Tur Worw’s Fam—Paverrr or Axerican Exmmrrions.—The London journals and American | correspondents remark that the Americans do not make much of a show at the World's Fair in Lon. | don. Various reasons are given for this, none of which we believe are correct. In our opinion, the cause of Americans not taking any trouble to be re presented in the Crystal Palace is, that our people entertain the idea that the exhibition is nothing | more or less than a vast humbug and swindle, con- | cocted in London for the purpose of giving the rest of the world an idea of England's greatness, and making them afraid of it; and, in the next place, to draw imto the British metropolis all their spare change.

We give in our columns further particulars connected with it, and euch elucidations as will serve to present the truth, and aid the Coroner’s jury, whose proceed- ings are carefully reported, in their search after the facte. It is important that the most complete and searching inquiry should be made in a case of this kind, that the most guilty parties, whoever they may be, should fall under the admin'stration of the law, and that we may discove’ the origin of a scene 80 disgraceful to those concerned ‘n it, and te the re- putation and character of a civilized community, whose institutions profess to support principles of liberality and concession, and each citizen of which has a strong interest in the common peace and en- joyment of the whole, free from apprehensions of ready given an opinion as to the moral causes and the remote origin of the late riot, and in that opinion we are fortified by the general concurrence ofour cotemporaries. One of the journals of the day, however, presents a report of a meeting held at the Shakspeare Hotel by some—as we must sup- pose—of the unthinking and unreasonabls of the German population, who, in very bad taste, under- took to eulogise some journals, and to jeer and hoot atothers. We donot krow tha! the Herald was included in those which fell under the censure of these persons. That point is wholly immaterial. Weare not to be moved one jot or tittle from the course of justice, which the whole mass of citizens expect from an independent journalist, while our consciense and the facts before us justify the cen- sures which seem to be demanded. Popular ap- plause is a mere morning cloud, which we do not seek to grasp. We have higher and nobler ends in view—the conservation of the peace of society, at any and every hazard. In our reports of the riot, and of the various com- plicated elements which more or less characterize all such lawless violence, we gave those facts which our intelligent, industrious, mpartial reporters | procured from the best authorities accessible at the time. They had no interest in obtaining anything not to be borne out by that sequel which we think the coroner’s inquest will establish, at once, for the proof of the general accuracy of the statements which we have made. Ourreports have been more complete than those of any other journal, and we have no interest in favoring any one class of citi- zens at the expense of another. The attempt, therefore, to get up a meeting, while there is a ju- dicial investigation pending, is a gross insult to the intelligence, good sense, and spirit of justice for which this community is distinguished, and as such will be rebuked by the censure of every good citi- zen. It is out of such meetings, assoctations, and boken has sprung, and we do not believe that any who knows our laws and institutions, will take any part in keeping up an agitation that may lead to future difficulties. The administration of the laws courts every citizen’s rights will be respected. We repeat what we have before said, tha there are party politicians who have pandered to the ex- citable natures of a portion of our population— who have enlisted many unthinking and noisy men under their party banners—with direct referonce to the results of elections; and, we regret to say it, we have seen a journal constantly aiming to set up class distinctions and class combinations for this single purpose —leading our newly adopted citizens into labyrinths of dissatisfaction, with the determi- nation, by their aid, cajoled and flattered, to swell the number of votes at the polls. These danger- ous politicians and journalists, only a yearago gave the public an illustration of their infamy by causing the incarceration of a large number of German tailors, who were deprived, by a senseless socialist agitation, of labor and its bappy wages. The sane setare now fully prepared again to renew their acts of duplicity, injustice and oppression towards innocent and reputable Germans, by misleading them as to the duties of good citizens, under a pro- per administration of the wholesome laws by which all of us are governed. We trust, therefore, that the German population, who are far more excusa- ble, ina moral point of view, than those who, by violent councils goad them towards scenes of ex- citement, will shun any and all politicians who at- tempt to urge them into hostile combinations, and who misrepresent the motives and acts of inde- pendent journalists, and the intelligent people of this metropolis. Above all, we would warn them to beware of their professed friends, who, in order to flatter them, will not hesitate to recommend any measures which may promise to increase the num- ber of party votes. So far as our influence is concerned, we shall en, deavor to promote the ends of justice, and we shall watch the judicial investigations of the late riot with great care, that the guilty may be punished, and that the innocent may be protected from injury. | There have been times when, under popular excite- ment, injustice has been done, or the guilty have escaped, either from position or from the exercise of political or other influences. Asa singular con- trast to such proceedings, we refer with pride, and strong recommendation to our magistrates in favor of similar upright decisions, to the admin- istration of the law as exhibited recently in London. An article on the subject will be found in our columns. In the present case, we expect to see the administration of justice made equally efficient, let the punishment fall where it may. Public opinion loudly calls for a direct and wholesome exercise of law to check all tendencies to similar outrages on the peace of society, and no pains, time, labor, or expense should be spared to make a thorough in- vestigation, not only to reach the actual offenders in the case of the late riot, but to unmask any and all organizations which have purposes foreign to the good of society, and caleulated to interrupt Invest axp Scorcn Conrnrevtions Te THE | jesty withedto convert.

The only musical of the present season have been those of Jenny Lind, which, however, have created, comparatively, but little enthusiasm. As the | time approaches for their termination, we find no lack of #eal on the part of Barnum and his literary bureau, to renew the laughable excitement of last year. The entire vocabulary of the English language is pressed into service, and even the rules of English grammar have no restraints for those who are employed to write up a furore in all the approachable papers. The plan, however, must fail. The whole population laughs at the demonstrations of last year, The Mayor of the city laughs—the city authorities laugh—even Bishop Hughes, we believe, laughs in his fleeve—the clergy laugh—editors laugh —everybody laughs at the fuss and antics which marked every one’s conduct on the advent of Jenny. We have now grown wiser, and judge musical entertainments on the tempe- rance principles inculeated by Barnum himself. In fact, it will be twenty-five or thirty years, and another genera- tion, before we can have a second edition of the original Lind enthusiasm. Coronation festivals do not come very often, even in musical matters, Barnum and Jenny Lind can never gain another excitement like the one of last year, though one is the Napoleon of showmen and the other a Queen of Song. The people have settled down into a wholesome and quiet admiration. They give all credit to the peculiar powers of Jenny Lind’s voice— acknowledge that she can please them wonderfully well— and know that she has been a great artiste in comic opera; but while we have the great exponents of the Italian classical style of sopg among us, she cannot mo- nopolize all the enthusiasm, even with a well-paid lite- rary bureau at Barnum’s elbow. All things pass away; and the Lind fever has seen its crisis, and passed. The musical world is safe. Barnum has now succeeded in bringing Jenny Lind to that point which ruined Cata- lani as an interpreter of classical music, He has gone on, step by step, to force her into songs for which her voice and style are unsuited, and, as a climax, has given a con- cert comprising only English songs. Yet all will not do. | ‘The enthusiasm is over, and well dressed pedlars, now running about, and forcing themselves into the parlors of hotels, offering “them three dollar seats” at a large dis- count, even fail to obtain any encouragement. Barnum rhould engage the newsboys in this work, if he would have such a noise and excitement as would seem to re suscitate the original enthusiasm; and, if money enough cannot be obtained by such wll directed exertions, he had better try and make bis money out of us, by carrying on from fifty to a hundred suits at law, as some time ago proposed. Perhaps some excitement eculd be got out of , the speculation, and Barnum’s fame might be increased. It would be rare amusement for us, and would relieve the monotony of journalism, between this time and the next Presidential election. The Bestonians have been supporting Maretzek's new opera company for several weeks, with considerable, en- thusiasm, Bettini, the new tenor, with his fresh voice and admirable style, has created an impression of the best kind, and he is pronounced unrivalled by the beat judges of the musical art. Bosio, too, has been very po- | pular there, and has received the warmest admiration | from the musical public; while Miss Virginia Whiting, the débutante of last season, bas been very handsomely re- ceived. Marini’s grand voice and enthusiastic style have, also, created for him great praise from the critics. In fact, the whole company has been remarkably suc- cessful, Maretzek conducting the opera with all that tact, energy and skill which have made him the manager of the Italian Opera in all our great Atlantic cities. This troupe, so admiroble and so efficient, will return to the city and commenc: ‘heir performances at the Astor Place Opera House next Monday, from which they wil, retreat in the course of two or three weeks, to Castle Gar den, whieh is held by Maretzek on a lease, from the fif- teenth of June to the middle of September. During this season, therefore, we tay anticipate some of the best mu- sical entertainments ever known in this city; for, in ad- dition to those we have have already named, it is quite probable that we may have opportunities of hearing Steffenone and Parodi, Steffenone one of the greatest prime donne, is resting, after the fatigues of the last Havana season, in this city, where she is applying herself to the study of the English language, per- haps with a view of giving some specimens of song in our own vernacular, Parodi will arrive in the city to- wards the end of June, on her way to London, where she is engaged at Her Majesty's Theatre. She has recently ‘appeared in opera at New Orleans, with a success never equalled by any vocalist in that city. The enthusiasm which she excited appears to have been immense. Her last performance was in Lucretia Borgia—that wonder- | ful creation of her histrionic genius and artistic skill and power. The probability is, that she will only be heard once or twice more in New York, as we learn that her presence in London is anxiously awaited. It is refreshing, after the really meagre specimens of classical music and pure style which the present musical season has afforded, to anticipate the return of the opera, aided and supported by the best array of talent ever com- bined in the metropolis; and we presume that there will be many new operas produced, to increase the enthu- siasm of the musical public, Another musical event worthy of notice, will be that of Tuesday next, at the Apollo Rooms, when Madame E. Wal- lace Bouchellewill give a grand concert. Weare happy to notice the fact that this distinguished vocalist is the very best interpreter of English, Scotch, and Irish ballads, in the metropolis. Recently, the liberties taken with favorite ballads have destroyed not only the melodies and the correct times which form a chief portion of their charac- ter, but have degraded them. This is the judgment of every critic of pure taste. That brilliancy might be gained, to cover up a want of voice and melody, the time of an adagio has been accelerated to an allegro—thus ut- terly destroying the music. By and by, we may expect to hear “ Old Hundred” in the time of “ Yankee Doodle,” Madame Bouchelle, however, has a voice which does not require her to selfishly sacrifice her music; and in the English, Scotch, and Irish ballads, she is able to touch the heart by the justness and purity of her style, which blends the Italian method with the richness of the Eng- lish voice. We are quite certain that her concert, there- fore, will be well attended—particularly as her brother, Mr. Vincent Wallace, the composer, will be present at the entertainment, to assist by his talent and musical genius. On the fifth of next month, Thursday week, there will be a eoncert to exhibit Von Ieeringen’s new «ystem of notation—now coming into vogue. Sharps and flats are dispensed with, and about two hundred pupils will ex- hybit their skill with music written in black and white notes. On the whole, then, the coming week will be a remark- able one in our musical annals—the opera, creating, as it always dos. the greatest interest in our fashionable cir- cles, by introducing eight or ten of the best Italian vo- caliste— Madame Bouchelle exhibiting the best style of Lal- lad singing. to correct the bad examples which have been et thus far this season—and Von Ileeringen maki is onslaught upon the old eomplicated system of flate and sharps, with a beautiful army of young ladies who have been converted to his cause, Marine Affairs.

Fier iw Mucarrey Staeer.—Yesterday morning, about eight c’elock, a fire was discovered in the rear of No. 6 Mulberry street, in a carpenter's shop, which spread? with much rapidity to several adjoining buildings, in the: rear of Orange street, as well as in Mulberry s-reet, oc~ cupied by cabinet and coffin maker's work shops, which, together with their contents, were almost totally de stroyed.
