Thanksgiving day was passed agreeably yester- day, by millions, if we may judge by the enjoy- | mest of the day by our own citizens. Twenty- | sight of the thirty-one States, with a population of | ever twenty millions, had set apart the same day to return thanks to God for the blessings heaped upon this happy country. No wonder the English, at | and frem Webb, of the Cowrter—the particu- | ¢te. To-morrow evening, the annual concert im aid of | the Kossuth banquets, toasted the United States and Turkey. | Our special telegraphic correspondence from | ‘Washington gives a few additional details of the | important movement of democratic members of Congrees. The principal caucus will prebably be | beld to-morrow night, when the plan of operations will be agreed upon. We are pleased to learn from Texas, that Col. Rogers has succeeded in making a treaty with the Camanche Indians, from whom he obtained the | release of twonty-seven white captives. | The latest advices from the Rio Grande inform | ws that four hundred Americans had joined the revolutionary forces under Caravajal, who was pre- paring to renew the war against Mexico with great gular trial is to take place next week in Canandaigua, in which a rich farmer, tamed Weodin, is indicted on euspicion of having | eaued the death of his wife, some fifteen years ago. ‘The defer dant, it is said, is s member of the Me- thodist Church, sud had borne the character of a most exemplary man prior to this charge. A large mumber of witnesses are to be examined, and the trial will probably occupy a long time. In the case of Otto Grunzig, tried for causing the death of his wife by poison, the jury, after delibe- rating for about thirty hours, came iato the court | this morning with a verdict of guilty of murder. Mr. Muler, the French artist, whom we mention- ed yesterday, as having been committed to prison | to await the investigation of the Coroner’s jury relative to the death of his wife, was discharged. The jury revurned a verdict that the deceased died from the effects of poison, administered by some | person to them unknown Another fatal case of stabbing occurred in Balti- | more yesterday.

By the last accounts from England, Kossuth, the most extraordinazy man of the age, was pursuing bis brilliant career in the manufacturing districts of that country. Inevery town which he visited, he was received with the greatest enthusiasm, and he continued making speeches which not only charmed, but electrified the people. The stoical gravity of the English character gives way before the inspir- ing eloquence of the great Magyar. It is no proof against the charm which he possesses, of reaching men’s bearts, and effecting a permanent lodge nent there for the principles which be advocates. Koseuth is truly a master spirit. The Austrian and lazsian governments appreciated him tho- roughly, and hoew what a formidable enemy he is The cause with which he is identified may not tri- umph in his day, although we hope it will; bat should it not, as long as he lives he will be a terror to ail despots. Their crowns will not be secure while an opponent assails them. At the present time, he is more to be dreaded by them than an army of two hundred and fifty thousand men nepired exponent, of the principle waich will revolutionize the whole of Europe, aad trample all tiem in the dust.

PaesipentiaL Simmerinos.—The Presidential cauldron is beginning to bubble, and many curious things are rising to the surface. Candidates for that high office are turning up in every direction; and like frogs after the first spring thaw, they are beginning to croak. Old fogies that have lain dormant since the last Presidential election, are popping their heads out of the mud, and croaking observe their movements as they creep out into the light of day—they are so very modest and shy For example, Secretary Marey, who has been frezen stiff since 1848, has, since the late election, been partially thawed out, and the Wash- ington Union is attempting to bring him inte ac- tive life again, by folding him up between the warm blankets of the Compromise. He has done so much for the compromise measures in New York, that he ought to be remembered. Oh, yes! And forthwith his friends set to patching up his old breeches again. But what has he done? Joho Tyler himself has not lived in closer retirement for the last fifteen months than Governor Maroy. He was dormant and torpid till, on the eve of the late election, he recommended the democrats to rally on his old platform of the Union, it is certainly a very comfortable employment | when you come to divide the plunder. This, how- ever, is but one example ofadozen. But weappre- | hend that all the advosates of the compromises, who _ are chiming the blessed song of the adjustment for Presidential capital, will find that stock at a dis- | count, next spring, at Baltimore and Philadelphia. | It will no more satisfy the South than the trash of | the broken banks and of the Plainfield Snanciers of Wall street and New Jersey. On the other hand, we observe that the candidate nominated three times by Kossuth, the great Han- garian, is pounced upon and worried by the whig journals, in various quarters, without mercy or discretion. They foresee that Mr. Walker will probably become a formidable | candidate, from his imposing platform of free trade, annexation, and Russian non-intervention; | lar champion of Haynau and Schwarzenburg —down | tothe feeble pipers of the provincial organs, they | have commenced an onslaught upon the great de- mocratic leader of free trade. The Bangor Mer- cury, however, gives hima regular broadside of grape and canister; ard it only needs the conti- nuation of the war in this style for a month or two longer, to place Mr. Walker in the front rank for the democratic nommnation. We give a sharp and | amusing extract from the Mercury, as mple of bis metal: — Mr. Walker was in Mr. Polk’s cabinet some time. He bas had considerable experience elsewhere, and mast have noticed the profit of side shows to a travelling cara- van. The fat woman who travels with Raymond, Dries- bech & Co., feels a profitable thrill in ali her flakes of fat | | ae she hears the roar of the lion when Driesbach stirs up the epimais. Bhe kuows that she has an interest in that | thunder. So Mr. Walker looks upon the applause which greets the eloquence of Kossuth, and counts when the big show lets out, on his twelve and a half cencs per head for his own exhibition Mr. Walker has visited the mother country to borrow siateen millions for Illinois. Itis fresh ia the memory of | many of cur readers that some fifteen years ao U evernor ynolds, another agent for Illinois, bound abroad on the same ys oy ata New York hotel. Inno- cent of the uses ofthe bell in bis room he courteously of- fered the waiter who anzwered it « chair, and bid him sit down In the morning be went down to the office in stock- ing feet, to inquire after his boots, which had disappearad from his room di the night. “What number!” (mean- ing the number of his room) inquired the attentive porter “ Number nite, pegged heels” said the financier. The boots were fo size and pegged as indicated. The Governor put them cn, took the paeket, went te Eng- land, got his loan. Within a few years, since Sydney Bmith has died, the borrcwing State began to pay the interest om the loan, and gladdened the hearts of the credulous Britens whom the Lilincis Moses had led so long through the wilderness of repudiation. But the nt agent of Illinois is a very different sort of a man. Tie boote are made in Paris; there are no in their heels. The man who has owed « million in his vate capacity will not be found in homespun apparel. Your borrower is the well dressed man. And, of all borrowers, set us down the ex-Becretary as the most stupendc us. So much for whig thunder. But we find that the democratic organs and leaders have also been seized with » panic, from apprehensions of this | same Mr. Walker. The alarm is spreading. Free trade, annexation on alarge scale, andacontingent | war with Russia on the ocean, make up a formida- | ble platform. It must be popular. Progress is the order of the day. It will be curious, but not sur- prising, if Kossuth’s nomination should result in the election of Mr. Walker for the Presidency. Let Tammany Hall, after the arrival of Kossuth, second his movement and his poliey, and the work isdone. Keep cool. InFIpgLity aNp Surerstrtion Becomina Ram- rant.—The extremes of infiielity and superstition, both of which are #0 opposite to true religion, and morals of all kinds, are beginning to exhibit very amusing, but rather rampant, symptoms, in certain portions of this free repablic. In no other country in the world—under no other social system—could euch extreme opinions exhibit themselves alongside of each other, and excite any other sentiment than | into requisition—Madame Anne Thillon, Madame Biscac- | cianti, (who has had great success down east,) Mrs. Bost. | strumental performers, Jaell, the brilliant pianist, and | found 2} drachms of opium, which makes about 150 | | there | the buebend as ha mornin, that of derision and laughter.

These two journals are curious affairs, each in its line, more #0 than the organs of the late Joe Smith and the Mormon superstition, or | ying those now issued in Deseret. The Boston Lilerator has somewhat tired of ab: merced an open and audacious career of infidelity ; the New York Freeman's Journal, under the sace- tion of @ distinguished archbishop, and a reapecta- bie church, promulgates the most atrocious doc- trinos that ever disgraced the ignorant and fanatical menka of the middie ages ‘ Heretofore we have always had a high respect for Archbishop Hughes, although we have openly differ- ¢d from him in certain matters connected with the y of the Cathelie Church in the United States. re we have always had the deepest regard for the Rev. Dr. Ryder, (resident of Georgetown Cellege, and also for Dr. Pise, now delivering a course of lectures at Brooklyn. But wo beg of these distinguished gentlemen, and prelates, and pastors of Catholic churches in this free land, to reflect # little on the course they are pursuing in | their public lectures and public conduct, as repre- tented by their special organs. The schools and institutiors under their control will diminish down to nothing if such principles and such views as aro | sometimes given in the Freemen’s Journal, and sometimes in their lectures, become the prominent characteristics of the ( Church in this ia- dependent, free, and seas: nd of intellect Bat we are erpecially shed at the supine neet of Archbishop Lug’ in the matter.

Wenerer anp Tus Paw stpency.—The friends of ‘Webster are exult- ing over his Faneuil ‘They seem to think the work is substantially done. The Bos ton whigs remind us of a certain lunatic, who imagined that the universe depended upon his winding up the sun every morning like # clock. If he failed, he koew that the solar system would run down, and that s genersl crash would burry up the world to the day of judgment. But he was punctual as the sun, and standing in the main hall of the asylum, every morning, with his right hand for some time in motion, as if turning a large wheel, he wound up the clook-work of creation, and felt scoure for another twenty-four hours. The whigs at Faneuil Hall seem to be as well satisfied with their nomination. But they have done nothing. Everything is yet to be done. Money is the first object where Mr. Webster is concerned; and if it took fifty thousand dollars to get him into the State Department, it will require at least a hundred thousand or two to start him for the White House. Next, we want the organization of a Webster party, and the promulgation of a platform—not of what he bas done, but of what he will do. What is to be his foreign policy of non-intervention? What will he do in reference to Mexico, and Cen- tral America, and Cuba, and the Monroe dootrine? If the policy of Webb, of the Courier, is not the policy of Mr. Webster towards Kossuth, another organ will be wanted in New York. We concur in the report of the services of Mr. Webster to the country. But we want something more. We want something for the future—the past is done for. There may be time enough yet for the buiding of platforms ; but the day approaches when all parties and all candidates will be required to show their hands. The coming contest will be upon great principles. What are the principles of Mr. Webster for the next administration? His friends must wake up, or Kossuth and Robert J. Walker get the inside track. Forward is the word. Musical Matters. ‘The Italian Opera Company bas been materially strengthened by the accession of Bosio, » favorite, re- markable for the sweetness and purity of her voice and her correct musical taste. She appeared on Wednesday evening for the first time his season, and performed her réle with great éclat. Marini has also been added to the operatic cerps. This evening, Steffanone appears in “Maria di Rohan,” an opera which has had all the suc- cess we predicted for it on the first time of its production the funds of the Bt.

City Intelligence. POISONING CASE IN MOWARD STREET—HUS- BAND ACQUITTED BY THE JURY. In yesterday's Henarn we published the circumstances of another supposed murder by poison, in the death of Mrs. Eliza Jane Muler, who was supposed to have been poisoned by her husband. The parties resided at No. 22 Howard etreet; and, from the conduct of the husband on the occasion of the death of his wife, the persons occu- | ying spartments in the same house believed that suspi- | clous circumstances existed which rendered it necessary Or ® coroner's investigation. As we stated yesterday, the evidence in the cage was to be further gone into on the following morning, and yesterday Alderman Ball, the acting coroner, concluded the evidence by the testimony of Professor Reid, of the New York Hospital, whe had made an analysis of the contents ofthe stomach. The jury met at the Fourteenth ward station house, and the Profeseor testified that he made an analysis of about 17 eunces of mucus taken from the stomach, and THE drope of laudanum ; which quanti'y was sufficient to cause death. This witness concluded the testimony, as nothing new bad occurred since the facts we gave yesterday. ‘The Alderman addressed the jury, and said, that as BO new facts had been elicited. it was very evident, by the Professor's testimony, and aiso that of Dr. Cox, that | the deceased had come to her death by an overdose of | laudanum, gentiemen of the jury; and, further, I am free | that om the evidence exhibited on the papers, ‘Rot sufficient shown to warrant the detention of administered the poison.

THE ANNUAL THANKSGIVING FEAST TO THE i POOR CHILDREN OF THE FIVE POINTS. At about four o’clock yesterday afternoon, the chil- dren of the Sunday School of the Five Points Mission, those of the Temperance Home, and the poor in the neighborhood, assembled to partake ef a dinner, at the Mission House, No. 1 Little Water street, under the di- rection of the Rev. Messrs. Luckey and Pease, At five o'clock the ehildrem belonging to the Sunday School connected with the Mission were admitted to a room in which the dinner was laid. The tables were spread with en abundance of beef, turkeys, &c., contributions from seventeen of the hotels of the city, Before partaking of the dinner, the children sung as grace before meat, “ Great God, from whom all blessings flow,” &c., and then “fell to,” and ate with good appetite the things set be- fore them. The children were most assiduously waited upon by the teachers, gentlemen, and others interested in the Mission. These children certainly behaved them selves remarkably well. After they had been satisfied, their places were soon filled by the children of the Day Bcheol ; who, in their turn, were succeeded by a number of childrem called “out-siders,” who were not regular attendants at scheol. Altogether, there were some two hundred azd twenty-five feasted at this dinner; and yet #0 bcuntiful had been the supplies sent in, that they had enough and te spare. When all had dined and the tables were removed, the children were all collected into the one room, and them sung “the Happy Land,” concluding with the Doxology that was sung at the commencement.

DOCTOR HAWKS’ SERMON ON “THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES.” Doctor Hawks’ celebrity as a pulpit orater, and the interesting mature cf the subject of his discourse an- | nounced for yesterday, attracted a very large and fashion. able congregation to his church, corner of Twenty-first street and Fourth avenue. The expectation of all who heard it must have been fully realized. It was at once eloquent, figurative, and impressive; and withal, marked by @ matter-of-fact and truthful portraiture of the moral ‘and political position of this country, and the city of New York in particular. Wearecnly enabled to present our readers with an outline. The text upon which the Rev. gentleman based his discourse was from the 16th chapter of Matthew, and part of the 2d verse,“ Can ye not discera the signs of the times?» When, upon a former and si- milar occasion, he had addressed that congregation, he bad remarked that God is the maker of history; since then avother year of bis scroll had been enrolled, and all com. bined to prove the truth of this assertion. The preseat was a period fraught with momentous events; and though it was impossible to read with certainty the hidden roll of the future, we might, by that portion which had been opened, be enabled to see with some decree of prescience the future shadowed forth not very faintly. We were upon the eve ofa fearful struggle throughout the civi- lized world. A volcano was about to burst, and the quick ear already caught the premonitory rumblings.
