This is a very good sign, and when taken in con- | Reetion with the large receipts of gold dust fro California, which have, thus far, exceeded the esti- mates, will help to increase the general prosperity | ef the country, ifnot to promote speculation, which | is, perhaps, already rife enough. There is not any @anger at present, however, of a blow up; but if | ‘we continue prospering for a year or two more, as | ‘we have for 1850, such a catastrophe may overtake as. It is characteristic of the American people not | to be satisfied with their condition, no matter how | Prosperous it may be. They still wish to go abead; the more they accomplish, the more they | Want to accomplish. It appears that the jury in the case of Seott, who was indicted for aiding in rescuing the fugi- tive slave Shadrach, in Boston, could not agree on | the testimony sufficiently to find a verdict; but that there was no doubt among them respecting the constitutionality and propriety of the Fugitive Slave law. Jurymen ought to be thoroughly satisfied of the correctness of a verdict before they agree to it. Another of the parties indicted fer the same offence, will be put upon his trial on Monday next, to which day the matter was ad- journed, in consequence of one of the jurors who Was summoned, having died suddenly. The holders of the government five per cent stock isrued under the act of 10th August, 1846, | are notified that the whole principal and interest | will be redeemed on the ninth of August next. | ‘Those of our readers who are troubled with this | Kind ot stock, will be good enough to bear this in Progress of the Union Movement North and | South—Cheering Signs. | In almost every part of the country there are the | Most gratifying indications of a reaction of public epinion on the subject of the constitution and the Union, and a return of the people to reason and right om the subject of slavery. This is mainly owing to the noble stand taken by Messrs. Clay, | Cass, Webster, and others, and the support which those distinguished statesmen and patriots received from the Union press, headed by the New York Herald. We always thought that, sooner or later, reason and patriotism would triumph over fanatici#m and | disanion; but we are surprised and astonished at the rapidity and force with which this wholesome re- action is manifesting itself, at the South as well as at the North. In the former, the movement is headed by Georgia, which, at one time, was con- | sidered rather unsound on the subject of the Union, and manifests itself in the nomination, by the Union whig party, of the Hon. Howell Cobb, a | Union democrat, for Governor. Georgia is one of the most powerful and prosperous of the Southern Mtates, and the influence which it exerts over the vemainder is very great. Vir; likewise pound, and so is Tennessee, and Kentucky, and North Carolina. In fact, there is no serious talk of divanion in any Southern State but South Caroli- na, Mississippi, or Alabama; and even there, we are induced to think, change in public opinion on national matters is taking place } We witness the same gratifying spectacle in the | North and West. New Hampshire has, within a @ey or two, elected a Union democrat to the Guber- Batorial chair. Pennsylvania is rapidly coming @ut right; Connecticut is sound; the North poend ; and the only free States whose eseutcheoas remain tarnished are Ubio, New York, mont, and Massachusetts, the people of which owe it to themselves—to the Union—to the constitution | —to posterity—and to the reputation of their | | is Ver- | eeentry abrond, to follow the example of New Hempebire at one extreme of the Union, and | Georgia and Louifiana near the other | It is somewhat curious that this reaction in pub- Jie opinion, on the slavery question, which we now | witness with so much pleasure, was commenced, and is being followed up, in the Southern States, | by the old leaders of the whig party; and in the North by the great body of the old democracy, | who are Unton mento the core. This shows that, irrespective of party considerations, there is, at both the North and the South, an abiding love of the Union, which we hope will be eternal. Another blow in the free States, while the iron is hot, will demolish what remains of Sewardiem, Van Buren fem, abolitionism, and free soiliem. Let it be given, | next fall, in the great State of New York. Let Union men, of all parties, both whigs and demo- erate, move at once, in one solid phalanx. Come, move! Jexsy Lixy on Hen Ows Hoox.—We have every reason to believe that Jenny Lind will appear ig concerts, on her own hook, in a few weeks, both here and elsewhere. She has two or three more to give, in connection with Barnum, in Philadelphia and Boston, and then she is free as air—soparated from the elephants and Tom Thumb forever. We always expected that she would revolt before the 160 nights could be completed, and our predictions have been verified. She pays Barnum $16,090 for breaking off at this time, and takes her chance for fhe future. Somehow we always come out right, Without pretending to the revelations of the stars.

French Travellers in the United States— French and American Journalism, Of late, a number of travellers and tourists of the genus ‘lrollope, have coudescended to visit the United States, with the express purpose, one is iu- duced to think, of showing wo the world their own shallow-patedness, conceit, fully, and imbecility. It is really amusing to witness how, when they cut loose from the leading-strings of society in Europe and visit the United States —each carrying with him his own standard of what this country ought to be—these tourists flounder and get lost in the deep seaon which they launched their tiny canoes, and the ridiculous, absurd, and nonsensical blunders into which they fall. It would appear never to have occurred to them that to be capable of judging of a foreign country, its institutions, so- cial and political, and of properly understanding and appreciating the people among whom he goes, the traveller, who is desirous of receiving informa- tion and of imparting it to others, must possess large and extended ideas, a comprehensive intel- lect, and in feelings and affections be a cosmopo- lite, free from prejudices and preconceived notions of every deseription. Such a maa, to a very great degree, was De Tocqueville, whose work, ‘Demo- cracy in America,” is one of the best, if not the best, | on America and its institutions, ever published, and which will fird a place in every valuable li- brary, while the hasty productions of Trollope, Marryatt, Dickens, ad it omne genus, speedily find theirway back to the paper mills. Such a tourist as the latter stamp, is Mr. X. Marmier, who has recently written two volumes of | “Lettres sur L’Amerique,” and who, we are | gravely informed, is a “French gentleman who has devoted his life to travelling in foreign lands,” but who, in our opinion, has done so to very little pur- In quoting from the work of M. Marmier, Blackwood’s Magazine publishes, among other ex- tracts, the following statement of his concerning the newspaper press of the United States, which is the only point in these so-called letters which we have either the leisure or the inclination to refer to. Here it is:— ‘As to the two thousand four hundred newspapers of which the United States boast, as a sign of the diffusion of enlightenment, it is impossible, until one has held them in one’s band, and read them with one’s own eyes, to form an idea of such a mass of personal diatribes, coarse chronicles, puerile anecdotes—of such a confused, medley of political and commercial notices, mingled with shopkeepers’ puffs in prose and verse, aud smothered in an ocean of advertisements. Nothing that you see in France can give you an idea ef these advertisements. ‘They are a daily inventory of all imaginable merchan- dise. heaped up, pele-mele, a8 in an immense arena—a re- gister of ail the inventions possible. and of every con- ivable trade. * . With the exception of he New Orleans Bee, aud of the Courier of the United States, (both published in the French language.) { do not know an American paper—not evenjthe best of all, tha’ of # distinguished poet. Mr. Bryant—which can be com- pared, for the order of its contents, and it general getting. up, to the most unpretending of our provincial newspa- pers. As every considerable city publisbes at least a dozen papers, and every little town two or three, the con- sequence is, that none attain sufficient circulation to af- ford fair remuneration to a body of able writers. Some are sustained by the funds of party men, whose organs they are; and the majority exiet only by the proceeds of their advertirementa. This simple extract will convince our readers ofthe letters from Awerica, and of the man’s calibre. Phe idea of quoting the New Orleans Ber, (half French,) and the Courier of the United States, (wholly French,) as the best newspapers in the country—the one not known beyond the locality where it is published, and the other a wishy-washy journals of New York—is supremely ridiculous. Lest, however, intelligent people in Europe should be deceived by the ignorant representations of this tourist, we shall bring a few figures to bear upon his assertions, and by instituting a few comparisons, prove satisfactorily that so far from American journals being inferior to the provincial newspapers of France, one of them, at least, the New York Herald, as « sample of the two thousand, is infinitely superior in every respect to the four leading papers of France. We allude to the Jowrnal des ‘Debats, Le Constitutionnel, Le Sitcle, and La Patrie, all of which are published in Paris, and possess each a large circulation. One of our practical printers has directed a few hours to the task of forming a compa, rison between the quantity of ail kinds of matter in the Herald, single sheet and double sheet, and the papers referred to, and here is the result:— Quvantrry oF Marten, on Tree Ser vr ix Eas.

Now, in regard to the quantity of the matter | contained in the New York Herald, we challenge comparison with any paper published in France or | the continent of Europe generally, for variety, in- terest, style, reporting, and everything else that | makes it interesting and valuable Lot us institute a comparison respecting the energy and enterprise dieplayed by the New York Herald | and those French journals On an average, the Herald is not sent to press | without containing telegraphic nows to the latest | moment, from all points of thie extensive country— | embracing aggregate distances of tienty thousand | miles a morning, at an expense which our French We shall give | them an instance of what we do on this side of the | Atlantic, in the way of procuring telegraphic intel- | ligence. Mr. Webster recently delivered a speech | jo Buffalo, a distance of upwards of six hundred | miles from New York, which made more than four | columns of th jest type of our paper, and the words were barely cold before we published them, at an expense for telegraphing alone of $580, or two thousand nine hundred francs. The President's re- | cent tour through this State, also received by tele- | graph, cost, in addition, nearly one thousand dol. | lars, or five thousand france! In addition to this, | we regularly receive by telegraph European news | from Ifatifax, Nova Scotia, a distance of nearly, if not quite, eight bundred miler, once a week, t» gether with a vatiety of other matter front ovher | do not doubt. the telegraphic matter of all the papers of the rest of the world combined. As faras our editorials and correspondence are concerned, we can compare them with those of either the London or Paris press, notwithstan: the contempt with which they affect to treat then. In regard to our reports of speeches, meetings, con- ventions, and popular assemblages, we far excel the Paris journals, and successfully compete with those of London, Respecting the oaly remaining point of interest connected with this inquiry—cireulation —there are at least one hundred and sicty thowsand jssues of newspapers published in New York every day, of which the Herald issues one-fourth, whieh, in proportion toour pepulation of 800,000, is une- qualled in any part of the world. So much, then, for M. X Marmier’s ‘Lettres sur L? Amerique,” as far as the newspaper press of the United States isconcerned. This ‘French gen- tleman, who has devoted his life to travelling in foreign lands,” is, te use a very homely but very appropriate term, a simpleton by his own showing. His book proves that his visit to the United States was a most unprofitable one; and if his travels in other lands were attended with no better results than those in this country, we should say that the more he travels, the more he gets out of his depth, and another visit here would make him—what in- deed we think he is already—a shallow, conceited, self-important coxcomb, with an empty head, but any quantity of hair and pretensi His not ex- copting tke Enening Post, which he says is the best paper in the country, and is edited by a distinguished poet, in his sweeping charge against the American | press, (and which, by the way, is one of the few | papers of this city which has little or no circalation,) shows what a profound observer he is. We would honestly recommend M. Marmier to stop his tra- vels, and never again attempt to write a book. Ie shows himself incapable of the work he has under- taken, and proves most conclusively that the more some men travel, the more ignorant they become. Irortant Lega Proceepines—Tue Wess anp Witiis Case —Tue Forrest Case.—Reports of important legal proceedings will be found in an- other part of our columns to-day. The first relate to the Willis and Webb case, which show that an order w ued in the suitcommenced by Mr. and Mrs. Coddington, against Mr. Webb, for the reco- very of certain letters retained by him contrary to right and to law. Mr. Webb did not attend the investigation yesterday before Judge Sandford, and the :esult was, that after a few remarks from coun- sel, the Judge issued an order directing the delivery over of the letters to the parties entitled to them, and requiring Mr. Webb’s attendance on a day de- signated. By a continued refusal to the sum- | points, amounting, in the aggregate, to more than | mons of the Court, the delinquent will subject him- , self to imprisonment for contempt. The result will be known in a few days, when, perhaps, further and more important proceedings will be taken by the injured parties. Appended to the legal report will also be found a very interesting communication on the subject from Mr. Webb himself, which has been inserted at his request, on our usual principle of jus- tice and impartiality. It will speak for itself. The other case referred to, is that unfortunate one which has agitated the courts and the public, fora length of time, between Mr. Forrest and his wife. It appears by the proceedings that Mr. For- rest hag entered into an engagement to suspend all proceedings begun on his account in the courts of Pennsylvania, for the purpose of allowing Mrs. For. rest to procure evidence necessary to sustain her side of the case onthe trial which may take place here next October. The affidavits submitted to the Court on both sides, make some singular addi. | tional revelations, which will be noticed as they go | along. From some cause or other, the counsel em- ployed by Mr. Forrest seem not to be near so effi- cient as those of Mrs. Forrest, on the other side. ‘The present position of this extraordinary case is decidedly in favor of Mrs. Forrest's policy and views—a result achieved principally by the dex terity and skill of her counsel. Really, we begin to think it would be better for both parties—Mr. For- rest on the one side, and Mrs. Forrest on the other— to settle all the difficulties between them, if practi- cable, on some sensible plan of compromise, and to dispense hereafter with lawyers and their enormous fees. It is utterly impossible that the parties can again livetogether—there must be a final separation between them. The only question is, whether the wife shall receive a stated annuity or alimony, com. mensurate with the means of the husband. That might be determined by moderation and good sense on both sides,without lawyers, and without incurring Why not try it? enormous costs. Tueratenep Revouvtion 1x Mexico.—Tele- graphic reports have intimated that evidences of a project for revolutionizing Mexico are now on foot. That something unusual is going on in Mexico, we Our Paris correspondent announces Tue New Parry or Pustic Rompers in At- nany.—The Industrial Convention as it is called, ofthe new party who want to rob the public lands for the benefit of @ particular class, is now being held in Albany, {t is a sort of second edition of an assemblage which the same parties attempted to hold in Temmany Hall, the other evening. They put forth the same burglarious doctrines in rela tion to the public lands, and also nominated as can- didate for the Presidency, Isaae P, Walker, of Wisconsin. While they were perfectly agreed as to the robbery of the public lands, there was quite a rumpus among them in consequence of the admis- sion of a black man, as a delegate from Pennsylva- nia. Some of them would not associate with a black man, and others thought a colored delegate | was good enough for them. Now, our opinion is, that if the colored man was respectable and honest, he was too good for the whole batch of them. Their proper associates ought to be eminent prac- titioners of the doctrines they profess, now in the State prisons of Auburn or Sing Sing. Their con- vention should have been held at either of these classic castles, and it is from them their candidates should bechosen. Bristol Bill, the great burglar, would be a good candidate for president of the con- vention, and One-eyed Thompson, if he had not taken poison, would have been a capital secretary. Always call a spade a spade and a diamond a dia- mond. Women’s Conventions AND THE TuRKISH Dress. —The old women’s conventions, according to the one recently held in Ohio, appear to be settling down into the discussion of the dress most suitable for the women of the present day. The amiable fanatics, including the venerable Mrs. Oakes Smith, will not wear petiicoats any longer, and are deter- mined to jump into the breeches. We think it would be well te enlarge the lunatic asylums of the of them, for, judging by these old women’s conven- tions and their attempts to put on the breeches, and | other lunatic acts, perpetrated by the old women generally and by some young women, there will be a vast accession to the female departments of the | lunatic asylums within the next two or three years. Tue Commissioners or Emigration.—We pub- lish in another part of this day’s paper a copy of the act of amendments to the emigrant laws, which we have succeeded in obtaining from Albany. We do this with the view of affording the public an opportunity of judging of the merits ofa bill which was passed through the Assembly at its last session, and was only stopped in the Senate by the energetic action of some of the city repre- sentatives, before whom the whole matter had been laid, by some of the commissioners and their friends. As we understand an attempt is likely to be made during the approaching extra session to procure the passage of this law through the Senate, we deem it just and right to publish it entire, especially as it never has been printed in its present form, * Tue Gas Comrantes ann Titein Prices.—The gas companies of this city have engaged several chemists to make long and labored reports, to show that their gas is cheaper, because it is better, than the gas in Philadelphia, or that of any other place | jn the world. These chemists have certainly ut- | tered a considerable quantity of gas on the subject, but we think we could procure a report, from che- mists entitled to equal credit, of an entirely different character, showing conclusively that the gas of New York is dearer than that of any other part of the world. Ifthe people would only call a meeting and offer a premium, they could get a dozen ehemists to | prove the truth of what we say. This mode of bolstering up high prices will not take. From Banacoa.—The schooner Golota, arrived yester- day from Baracoa, Cuba, brings information that fruit was very scarce there, owing tothe dry season, There were several fruit vessels, bound for this city, detained | there on the 25th ult, waiting for cargoes. the purchase, by Mexican officers, of a large num- | ber of muskets in one of the towns of France, and we know of sereral movements by Mexican citizens in this city, which confirm our suspicions that an enterprise of one kind or another is on foot. Within the last three months, an unusually large number of Mexican gentlemen have visited the North, and The official returns have Leen recelved from the follow- ing districts :— eIGHTH pisTRICT. ig.

Some of these have been represented as connected merely with peaceful measures, but it is impossible to say to what uses such merely com. mercial enterprises eventually may be directed. Every breeze from Mexico brings rumor of vari- ous kinds, which may end in something more than smoke. It eannot be concealed that the acquisition of the mining region of Mexico is now a favorite theme with many persons in the Southern and Western | States—that many Mexicans are in favor of coming within the jurisdiction of the United States, and that our population in California desire to extend their golden pursuits into those regions which have been so superficially explored, and which may yet yield large metallic treasures. On the whole, view- ing the state of Mexico, and all the interests which are concentrating together to bring it under the regimen of reason, enterprise, and industry, we are quite prepared to anticipate a revolution of some kind. It may be a bloody one, or it may be a moral and commercial and political one, in which the people will form a tremendous majority for an- nexation to the United States; or it may be a re- volution rolling both ways at once, bloody one way and bloodless the other. The tree is in the seed at present. By and by, it may be seen without a microscope. Meanwhile, we must keep a sharp look-out on the march of events, and see how the Mexieans will bear their third year of drought and famine. Should the crops thi+ year fail, nothing can stay the great revolution which is now in em- bryo Astor Place Opera House, ‘The season, thus far, has been marked by extraordi- Marini, Beneventano, Bettini, Lorini, ( and several others, while other enga pending, which will make an exces The new tenor, Bettini, bas made an impression upon és of the Opera, which will probably be a last- 4 when he has been heard to the best advan- tage, even higher estimates may be formed of his abili- ties than as yet have been formed—for he has not been in goed voice, a cold interfering with his perfect euccens, and with that sweetness of voice which those who are ac- quainted with it describe as truly delicious and refresh- ing. ‘The Opera has been well a:tended thus far; and on Monday evening, when “Don Giovanni’ will be perform- ed, there will probably be ® great throng to hear the grand combination of talent on this production, which convertionslity—with what reason we cannot now die cuss—pronounces to be the we plus ul’ra of operatic com. position. “Li mio tesero,” and “Neon midic even though they interrupt the action of the drams, are the ray Italian port f the composition. aul the gems of the ente rtwin let the lovers of the German remaiwler enjey itus they cam.
