Last evening, a very interesting meeting of sym- pathizers with the new movement in Ireland to found a Catholic University in that country, was held at the ball of the Stuyvesant Institute. It was crowd- the country, in order to injure the business engage | however, holds him to a fearful responsibility; and td almost to suffocation. The greatest enthusiasm | in the wind, could be made to appear more and good humor prevailed. Archbishop Hughes | ridiculous. But many a white-coated philosopher, after having, at home, abjured even the aristocratic | articles of soap and water, has, upon going abroad, éelivered a speech of great length, ability, and legical acumen. He did not demolish the socialists and red republicans, but he took a fling at Kossuth, and at the Tymes, the enemy of Kossuth. He dis posed very summarily of the claims of ‘the Anglo- Saxon race,” and contended atrenuoasly for his own particular views, as to the necessity of a religious education, and held that the State had nothing to o with the matter. For details, we refer to our report, which will amply repay perusal. fy the arrival of the steamer (icorgia, with ad- vices from Havane to the ith, we learn that Mr. Jenn S. Thrasher has been tried and convicted of high treason, and sentenced to the chain gang for eight years. [t is said that he will be sent to Spain. The accounts from the Isthmus are highly unfa- able so far as regards the present facilities for | ravel on the Nicaragua route. The Georgia brings many of the paseengers who crossed that way, but was obliged to leave some two hundred bebind. She also brings nearly two millions in geld dust. Frem Northern Mexico we learn that Caravajal, aitera terrible bombardment of Matamoras for | ecveral days, with one piece of artillery, raised the siege and Swartwouted. At the last acsounts, he was a considerable distance up the Rio Grande, eollecting his scattered forees for another experi- ment. But it makea precious little difference how this revolution goes, carried on under the auspices ef rach a fellow as Caravajal, and a solitary six- | pounder. He may succeed, or he may be run out «i the country—it will belp the cause of poor Mexico very little. Her time has nearly expired. An- nexation ie, perhaps, the only hope for her. What says Mr. Webster ! The Hungarians attended the lecture before the Philometheon Society of Brooklyn, last evening. Theusands attended the lecture to meet them, and hundreds went away unable to get near the reom. They were afterwards entertained in handsome style by General Duryea, the District Attorney of Kings county. The reception of the exiles by the bebitante of Brooklyn was marked by demonstra- tiens of enthusiasm unsurpassed in our own city. A meeting of the friends of cheap postage was beld at the Mercbants’ Exchange yesterday after- necn. Resolutions were adopted, and an address delivered by Barnabas Pates, |. A committee war appointed to memorialize Congress and urge the peesage of a law making the postage on newspapers te any part of the United ~tatee one cent, and pamphlets and periodicals half a cent per ounce. Squarza, the ltalian, charged with the murder of Reveili, in Spruce street, last summer, was tried im the Court of Oyer and Terminer, yesterday. ‘The investigation occupied all day upto six o'clock, but the evidence being purely circumstantial, and wanting an important link in the chain, the prison- @r was acquitted and discharged. We will pab- lish a full report of the trial to-morrow. Otto Grunzig will be tried for the murder of his wife, on Monday next. We understand that Sherif Carnley yesterday received a letter from Governor Hunt, in relation to the fate of Joseph Clark and James Sullivan, the murderers, who are eentenced to be executed next Friday. The Governor, as in the case of Conklin, who isto be bung on the same day for arson, at Utica, positively refuses to interfere with the sen- tence of the law. This being his Excellency’s de- cision, the culprits will suffer death on the day as- tigned for their execution In the Board of Aldermen, last evening, a propo tition to pave # portion of Broadway upon the fuss plan, at an expense of $75,000, was brought up, and, after discussion, laid on the table. Aldermen Shaw and Dodge made some appropriate and forci- ble remarks on the subject. The other proceedings of the Board were not of material importance.— ‘The report will be given to-morrow Kossuth, R. J. Walker, and the Presi- deney—Trouble Among the Small Fry. What was the motto of Davy Crocket? “ Be sure you are right, then go ahead.” Mr. Walker appears to have acted upon this maxim in his great speech on free trade and progressive democracy, at Soutbampton. And Kossuth seems to have follow- ed up the principle at the [-ondon banquet, in the pnomiration of the distinguished American finanzier for the Presidency. This combined midvement, seconded by Lord Dudley Stuart, will, no doubt, create greater sensation in Europe than the pro- pored cowp d'état of Louis Napoleon. It hasalready made a profound impression in this couctry, especially among the huckstering politicians. A panic in the stock market has seldom excited a greater fluttering among the lame ducks of Wall street. The floundering among the especial organs of William H. Seward, however, is a carious feature in this business. We don’t exactly comprehend it. The ination of Mr. Walker, by Kossuth, is an affuir which does not directly concern them. It be- Jongs to Tammany Hall. Still, as the oracles of Seward and the higher law have made some inte- resting discoveries respecting this movement, they are entitled to a hearing. They appear to be a lit- tle frightened, as if they had the faculty of second- sight, and foresaw the election of Mr. Walker, the annexation of Mexico and Cuba, the establishment combined of free trade, a onslaught upen despotism, and the completion of the [ili noise Railroad by means of an English loan One of these organs of the arch-agitator affecte to be exeeeding sharp and sarcastis upon the rubject. it calls the ex-Secretary of the Treasury “the confidence man abroad,’ “never more than two or three hundred millions out of the way ;” that he “‘aerures John Ball if the Kussian Czar should ever pounce upon him, he knows where to look for help,” and that thie declaration “delighted the cookles of bis paternal keart amazingly.” Tho ob- ject of Mr. Walker's soft-sawdering the old (sover- or is also accounted for [t is said that “ his spe- cial mission just now isto persuade come of John Bull's innocent and unsuspecting capitalists to oan bim a small sum of money.

If Mr. Walker can obtein the loan for the Illinois Central Railroad, his special mission will be accomplished. And if ney will do it, why should he deviate from tho g ralrule!

Under the caption of “‘The MecSycophant Family in Europe,” after dwelling to some extent upon the toadyism of Americans in general to European cficials and aristocrats, our philosopher devotes two mortal columns to the bemefit of Mr. Walker. jither Seward nor his organs can ever forgive him for his agency in the annexation of Texas, and the repeal of the tariff of 1812. And here, again, the degraded, prostrated, ruined, and shameful condition of Ireland, under British mismanagement, is thrust under the nose of the ex-Secretary,as if it were surprising and shameful that he had forgotten it. No such thing. He went to England to borrow money, not to deliver lectures on the condition of ireland, or of the manufacturing districts of Eng- land and Scotland. The chief priest of Sewardism, from his grand conceptions of free trade and Russian non-intervention, flies off at a tangent. Mr. Walker, as Sir Pertinax Macsycophant, truly cuts sorry figure.

Oo. | The telegraphic despatch in yesterday’s pa- pers, stated that (Governor Letcher had as- | | sured the Mexican authorities that the American cabinet would not sustain the provisions (proceed- ings, we suppose,) of the Tehuantepec Company; | Mexico to eurrender their claims on certain terms. | The facts, we understand, are that the charter given to Senor Don Jose Garay by the government of Santa Anza, was sold by Mr. Garay to the house of Hargous & Company, for three millions of dol- lars. The Mexican gevernment has offered this islands, as the proper starting point for the libertion | of Europe. Our socialist newspapers are aston. ished that, like Dogberry, he did not ask them ‘‘ to write him down anaes.” The misfortune is, that he was not upon their business but his own. | These savage attacks upon Mr. Walker were to be expected from the organs of Seward and his | party of abolitionists and mock philanthropists. They have an unsettled account against him, and | they will assail him at every opportunity. He has defeated their schemes heretofore, and they will watch him hereafter. We are surprised, however, | that the special democratic organ of this city should the broad and highly attractive platform upon which he put forward Mr. Walker az his champion for 1852. The Democrat supposes that England and the United States can never combine in a cru- | sade for the propagation of the republican faith on the continent of Europe— that England must first havearepublic. This is a clincher. But let us | wait the arrival of Kossuth. He may, perhaps, be | able to make the election of Mr. Walker on the | platform of Russian non-intervention perfectly con- | clusive. There must be something goed in this | morement, when it is so bitterly assailed by the special organs of Seward and the seditious dema- gogues that follow in his wake. Who comes next? Mn Weoster anp THE Sranisu DirFicutties.— Ame ican—prodably from the war correspondent of Mr. Clayton in his day—we may expect peace. Mr. Webster has written a long and satisfactory letter to Mr. Calderon, which will, doubtless, settle the hash. Some concessions are evidently made, not at first intended by our premier. It appears, also, that Prussia had a finger in the pie, with Great Britain and-France, in certain representations of what they intended to do for the future protection of Cuba. It is a great pity that Russia and Austria were not also inclujed in this league of enforcing upon the United States the doctrine of non-inter- vention in the affairsof Cuba. And weare sorry the Pope was overlooked. He migh: have had some influence with Mr. Webster. Bat let uz, like honest company one million to get back this charter, which, it is understood, they decline to take. | Mr. Letcher most likely disavowed, on behalf | of the government, certain proceedings of the Te- | huantepec surveying party last summer; but he will | be proud to see that justice is doneto the American | contractors. The charter is very clear and explicit. A report of the survey of the whole of this route between Coatzacoalcos and Tehuantepec will ap- pear in a few weeks, by which the superior advan- mat this route, over all others, either for a bg ad or canal, will be demonstrated. Mean- | time, the work of opening a road has been ar- rested by the Mexican government. It will be the | duty of Mr. Letcher to look into this business. | lbh iriecinlowiees | Marine Affairs.

Mr. Webster will settle the businers amicably, without the intervention of the allied powers. He has every thing cut and dried for it. All the correepondence will be laid before Congress, including the long letter to Mr. Calde- ron, which it is expected will be a smasher for the Presidency. And then it is understood that Mr. Webster will resign, and take a pilgrimage, by the inland route, to New Orleans, to see how the land lies with the Union party down in that direction, and likely to investigate the Florida claims. Hoe will most likely return by way of the Missie sippi to St. Louis, amd thence by the most popu- | lous route to New York. At the conclusion of this patriotic excursion, the whigs will probably meet in convention and nominate General Scott. Kosewrm axp TE Paesiprs 1.—The newspaper reporters for the telegraph have to learn a great deal of common sense before their statements wil! | be credited or relied upon. We refer partisularly to the telegraphic reporters in Washington. One of these brilliant gentle: ted yesterday, that “ President Fillmore is to give a grand diplomatic dinner to Louis Kossuth, to which Chevalier Hulse- ann, the Austrian Minister, will be invited.” A more ridiculous or absurd idea could not be found in the brain of any blockhead ; and the person who sent it to the newspapers is unfit for his position, and ought not to be allowed to hold it another day. We think the journals should hold meeting for the purpose of regulating their telegraphic corres pondence, and placing it on some foundation that would command the confidence of the public. The York newspapers have too many blockheads ong their telegraphic correspondents. The idea that the President could conceive such a thing as ie thus attributed to him, is utterly preposterous and absurd Tuk New Irauiay Orgra Hovse.—This pro- ect is gcing on well.

Reeclv: aed Mr. Bares, in advocating the adoption of the resolu- tions, said:—In offering these resolutions for the coside- ration of this meeting, I beg the liberty of accompanying them with a few of explanation. The constitution grante Congress the power to establish post offices and t roads, and by the authority of bora “igure they have, from time to time, established ce roads as post routes, and fixed the rates of portage on letters and Ya pers. The Postmacter General has power to ertablish port Cfiiees, where the letters are received and delivered, and he mails made up to be sent to other officer, In the early part of cur government, with # view ot diffus- sing imtelligence throughout the different states. news- papers were carried free of postage, aud crery tueility ‘was given by mail carriers and post riders, to publishers and editors to circulate their publications, Until the last Congress, it has been the wise policy of our legiela- tors to make the postage om newspapers es low as porsi- ble, so that the cost of ould offer no impedi- ment to their circulation, and tnat every family might erjoy the privilege of knowing what was doing among the nations ofthe earth, as well as by the government of their own count To the press, more than to any other means, are people of this country indebted for the knowledge, enterprise and shrewdness for which they are distinguished. Hence any attempt to abridge or re- tard the circulation of newspapers aud periodicals is felt | more immediately and sensibly than avy measure which could be adopted by Congress, The act passed in March lact. reduced the rates of postage on letters so low that a letter can now be sent three thousand miles for three cents, end to any part of the Union for six cents, and the | California postage bas been reduced from forty to six cents; yet 60 Sensitive ary the people upon the increased tax om newspapers end printed iatter. that they have almost lort sight of the great Lenedte decived from the reduction of postage on letters. I have been fre: ueatly asked “ How came you, who have taken such an active pert im the reduction of postage, to allow such @ bill to be seed!’ My reply to thie will be to give you a brief isiory of the proceedings of the committees and of Congrers in the parsage of this act. All here know ahttes that for several years after the reduction of age by the act of 1845, the Cheap Postage Com of this city urged upon Congrers not only the reduction of letter and x TF postage, but the free delivery of ail lotters and the abolitionot the franking privilege. lt wos found, however, by experience that the true courre of the aseoctation wae to confine their efforts to one sin- gle object, viz :—The reduction of postege on inland let- ters. Hence, nearly all the petitions sent to Congress aeked simply that the postage on letters should be re- duced to # uniform rate of two cents, pre paid. Nothing wes said of newspapers, periodicals. or pamphiets, sup- poring that there would remain the same. or, if any change was made. it would be @ reduction in the same ratio as letter postege. The reports of the committees never, at any time, contemplated the increase of mews- paper postege, nor would it bave been done at the last session had it not been ferced upon them by the Post Office Department. The following is « brief of toe proceedings of the committees of the last C and the of Congress on their reports :—Gen. Rusk, on the 3d of April. 1850, made a very able report in favor of the reduetion of post to two ym bp tion of the franking priv! . The third section of his bill recommended that the On newspapers and other ited matter should continue the same as at pre- *eat—bound books to be carried om the prepayment of one cen! perounce. Judge Potter, at the same session, reported @ bill from the House Committee, in which he recommended a reduction of letter postage to three cente, and ne’ rs. of one thousand nine hundred equate inches. to any of the United States, one cent. and, in the State where published, half a eent, and $2 séaitional rate for every our thousand nine hundced es; pamphiets and periodicals two cents a copy, ho greater weight than one ounce, and for every addi- tional ounce one cent ; books, not weighing over thirty-two ounces, were to be carried at thesame rate. Mr. Durkee. at the same seesion, made a very able minority re- port, and proposed a biil recommending a uniform rate of two cents, pre-paid, “and the postage on newspapers, for any distance in the United States, one cent ; and periodi- cals and pamphiets, half a cent foreach ouace, and the same for every additional half ounce, or fractional part thereof, Handbilis and circulars to be charged letter postage. pre-paid id all newspapers. not sent from the fice of publication, one cent. pre-paid.

No action was taken upon either of these reports at this | session. The aescciatio: ure -everal thousands of Dorkee's report te be printed and circulated throughout the country. in the bope that. at the next session, bis bill would beadopied January 17, 1851 the House of Represen- t ong debate, passed a bill Gximg the postage t muviform race of three ceuts throughout | » Bech ayer. pamphlet, period- other deseription of printed ‘watter, of no greater weight than two ounces, one cent, and fer each additional ounces, ome cent.” Newrpaperr. delivered in the State where printed. one- | half these rates; i country. and thirty miles from | the place where printed. they were to be delivered free | Of posta, Tt also allowed fifty percent deducted M on lett the United States eal meperine, book. and from the pcstage of magazines when the postage shall be prepaid: This bil passed the House by vote of 190 | to 75.

The circulation Of Dewepapers free of portage. and the discount allowed | upon magazines when prepaid, were atruck out. It ap- peors that the passage of the House bill, aad Its favors. bie reception by the Senate Curmittee, alarmed the Post Office Department. and every effort was made to prevent its passage through the Senate The sopenemeat propane | e from it was Considered better to let it pass.

And provided further, that all cases where newspapers ehall not centain over three bundred square inches, may be transmitted throush the mails by the publishers, te bona fide subsribers &t cne-fourth the rates fixed by this act.”” You will per- ceive that, under 2,000 miles, the rates of postage on Bewspapers not ¢: three ounces to regular, cr what is technically called bona subscribers, are consi- derably Jess than under the jaw of 1845; but over that ince they are increased from 25 to 50 per cent. News- papers of 300 square inches are charged one quarter of these rates. Hence a weekly paper ‘of this size is a cent and querter for three months, and semi monthly three- quarters of a cent, and a monthly is a little over a quar- ter ofacent. Burely this is cheap enough. There are two objections to there rates—firet, on newspapers sent over 2.000 miles—they ure much too high; and, seconily, they are so intricate that few postmasters can tell what postage should be charged. Besides, how can a perron pay ® quarters ‘on ® monthly paper wader 300 fquare inches, when the postage is but a quarter of a cent’ On a daily paper under three ounces, there are tix rates accerding to distence, and six on tri-weekly, femi-weekly, weekly, semi-monthly, mouthiy, making fo a ag different rates; and then there are the same number on papers under 300 square inches—making on papers to Pierias votuetibers 12 different rates. Surely the postmasters who were born before the schoolmaster wes abroa(l. must find it very difficult to determine what rates should be charged on newspapers. But this is not the worst of the case. The rates of postage on “tran- sient newspapers, and every other description of printed matter,’ are enormous, For example—a transient neas- paper, weighing under one ounce. when sent not over 600 one cent; 1,600 miles. two cents; 2500 miles, three cen’ ee miles. four, cents; and over 3.500 miles, five cents, eD for every additional ounce, or fraction ofan ounce anadditional rate of postege. The Sun, Star, or Moror, to California, will cost five cents; the double Henan, Tribune, and Evening Post, and Commercial. t cents; andthe Courier and Enquirer or Journal of Com- merce fifteen conte Then beer in mind, “if, through the inattention of the Postmasters or otherwise, the papers or pericdicals be seut without pre-payment, they shall be cherged with double the above rates.” These charges are made upon all printed matter, whether periodicals, megezines, pamphlets, cr Looks, and when examined, every one will be convinced that for long distances these rates emcunt to a probibition of the circulation of all rinted matter. Our mort valuable euch as Barper’s and the International zines, are taxed 0 heavily that but few can be sent by mail to long dis- tances. For example, the postage to California on these interesting magazines amounts to forty cents each; and if mot pre-paid, to eighty. Brathwait’s Retrospect, sixteen ounces, is charged eighty cents, pre-paid, but, “if through the insttertion of the Post- master, or otherwise.” the postage is not paid, then it will be charged $1 0 cents The Knickerbocker Maga- vine will be charged, if cent to San Francisco, thirty cents, and if the postage is not paid, sixty cents. It {s true, that by this lew. a book weighing thirty-two cunees ing Song rent to California or Oregon through the mail, but then it will be charged the enormous sam of $1 60, or $83 20 if the postage is not pre-paid. These are the rates imposed by this law, and they are such as every one murt pronounce unequal, bur- densome, unreasonable, avd obnoxious. The law is cer- tainly @ bed one, but the constructions putuponit by the Port Office Departmert are calculated to render it more uppalatable. For example if a regular subscriber toa newrpaper wishes it sent to him while he takre up atem- porary residence in anctber place, it has been decided that be must either pay a quarter's postage in advance or pay the postage of a trausient newspaper, sbou'd be stay but two weeks. Again. a periodical may be an- nounced as published in Boston and New York, or Phila- del atthe law has been ao interpreted that it can be ted only in the post office where printed, to bave the benefit cf regular subscriptions, although they are directed to bona side subscribers The effect of thir copetruction of the iaw is ‘hat huadreds of thoursnds are sent by expresses to short distances, but on the long distances they cannot be sent on account of the high tage, avd thus the public and the publishers are in- jured. and the Post Office is deprived of the revenue which it would etherwise receive Horace Greecey seconded che resolutions, though he raid he might desire sone modification of some parts of Corner of Bleecker and Carmine streets.
