We would call attemtieon te the tosiimony before the Jury in Ulster county, exparte and unsatix factory as it is. It weuld eeem at least that the Dbeat was built for the purpose of racing,,and they had made a private trial to see what she would stand, she being intended to bear a pressure of fifty pounds to ‘the square inch. We are promised te-day, the evidence of an experi- enced and impartial boiler maker: but we do not anticipate the enquiry will result in anythiog satisfactory. The Jury were strongly of opinion that any further testimony was uncalled for, and wished yesterday to draw up their verdict and con- elude the investigation. It will, however, be seen that the Coroner of New York, under edvice of the District Attorney, claims a concurrent jurisdiction ‘ander the circumstances, and that a second inquest ia te be held to-day in this city on certain of the vietims. By way of New» Orleans we have advices from Havana to the 3d inst., which state that Americans had been prohibitee from landing on the island of Guba, and that the police had made some addi- tional arrests of persons supposed to have been con- eerned in the printing of the Voice of the People. It 4s reported that upwards of four hundred persons have already been imprisoned on the charge of hay- img been connected with this incendiary sheet The government had likewise issued an edict proscribing this and another jecrnal published in this city from coming on the islend. All this goes to show that the authorities ere most terribly frightened, and are exerting themselves to the utmost to prevent another eutbreak. But the extreme measures they have adopted, especially that of not pormitting our citi- zens to land, will only tend to hasten the disaster. which they are endeavoring to avoid. From Albany we have an account ef another at- tempted outrage: by a party of anti renters, which resulted in the death of one of the gang, and the wounding of one or two others.. It appears that on Saturday vight they went, disguised es Indians, to, the house of Mr. Shaw, whom they tarred and fea- thered a few weeks ago, in addition to burning his outbuildings, and upon his refusing to come out they threatened to eet fire to his house. As a means of self-defence, Mr Shaw discharged the contents of a revolver among the party, which had the effect of killing one of them, named Whitbeck, and making his compenions fly with all apoed. Itis #ingular that, in ene of the oldest, mect enlight- ened, and by far the wealthiest States in the Union, these anti-rent desperadoes should have been so long permitted to commit deeds of violence with | impunity, and that, while the law slumbere, werthy citizens are compelled to take the lives of these rioters in order to protect their persons and pro- perty from devastation. We ere sorry to learn that the cholera still hangs on at lxth Rochester, N. Y., and Chambersburg, Pa. In the latter place several new cases have oc- curred within a few day: In the way of political despatches we have the announcement that Col. Thos.

This wili be a valuable acquisition to ‘the press of this eity, as, by doing its sharo of the work, this line will enable them to get through Jong Congressional reports, and other matter, much than they now can.

Want of room obliges us to omit the reports of ‘the proceedings of the New Yerk Horticaltural So ciety, the Board of Supervisors, and the Court of Sessions, together with a great amount of other le- cal and miscellaneous matter, a great pertion of which we shall endeavor to lay betore our readers to-morrow. The Presidency—Gen. Scott's Avatlability— Mere Documents. We publish elsewhere in our columns, to-day, an official letter of the year 1836, from Hon. Joseph M. White, then the delegate from the territory of Florida to Congress, addressed to General Jackson, President of the United States, asking for the recall of General Scott from the command of the army in Florida. This letter would be of comparatively little importance, asa bit ofhistory, but for the endorsement of Old Hickory, to wit:—‘‘A copy of this letter to be sent to General Scott, with an order to withdraw from the command in Florida. A id This endorsement, however, amounts to an official verdict against Gen. Seott, and the proving of the specications against him. Is seems that he had represented the white popué lation of Florida as unnecessarily frightened about the Indians, when there were only ‘* five Indians” in the territory, and that the people of Tallahassee had become so indignant at ‘his degrading epithets and insults,” that they had burat him in effigy This was an outrageous and discreditable procced- ing; but we shall proceed, presently, to show that notwithstanding the prodigious military availability of Gen. Scott, his recall from Florida was the result of a peculiar weakness or susceptibility for gotting into hot water, which might lead to the most serious and disastrous explosions in his elevation to the White House. The leading Seward-Seott organ in this city, in this connection, has just given us a chapter upon the military availability of Gen. Seott, from which it appears that that journal advocates his claims as the ‘great pacificator.” This is all well enough for the philosophers who looked upon Gen Taylor as a butcher; who are advocates of tho peace party, the red republicans, and socialists, and the fomen- ters of negro insurrections at the same time. It is, nevertheless, extremely ridiculous for the organs and satellites of Seward to dodge the fact that they seized hold of General Seott with the expectation of running him into the Presidency, Seward and all, upon bis extraordinary capital of gunpowder popu- larity. And, as far as mere gunpowder could be expected to accomplish anything and everything, they have mort unquestionably picked out the pro- perman. General Scott is the first military hero anc disci- plinarian now alive on this continent. All parties concede, too, that he is an-honorable and up- right man, scrupulously exact in all his official and private relations, though a little too hasty in many things, and in those very things in which he ought to exercise the principles of common sense andsound discretion. He is great in groat things, but small in small things. He can fight us out of a war with Great Britainor Mexico ; but he inevitably gets into some ugly little quarrel with his brother officers or the War Department, before it is over, or after it is over—some petty squabble fora court mar- tial upon a paltry point of etiquette, or some nows- paper publications, or some idle rumor, or corres- nondence, or conversation, or some ‘hasty plate of soup.” The worst of it is, too, that from being so ‘hasty’ in these little weaknesses, hehas almost invariably come off second best. Let us cite a few examples. During the administration of John Quiney Adams, General Scott was suspended from the command of the army in the Northwest, solely on account of his wrangling with his fellow-officers. The challenge from General Jackson, which Scott, like a Chris- tian and a patriot, refused to accept, originated from a similar want of prudence upor a trifliog pec- cadillo: so with the challenge tendered to De Witt Clinton, which he could not accept; so with the misunderstanding and belligerent ccrrerpondence between General Scott and the corporetion of New York, in relation to certain soldiers’ barracks which he did not erect upon the Battery; so with his recall from Flerida; so with his ‘hasty’ correspon- dence with Secretary Marcy—his personal griev- ances and pagplexities, and bis courts-martial in Mexico, regiliting in hie recall from the army in that country. All these things—the natural consequences of a little too much vanity, and of a peculiar and remarkably weak point in the head og the General-in-Chief, of distrust of @ ‘fire in the sear” —go very strongly to prove that he lacks theso conservative qualities of prudence, forbearance, conciliation, discretion, and deliberation, to say no- thing of common sense, so necessary, in those days, tothe man who has the appointment of cabinets and foreign ministers, and the control of forty thou- sand office holders. The same vagaries, fancies, suspicions, and distrust of conspiracies, and of malicious enemies, where none exist, would be apt to follow General Scott into the Presidency; and thus, neither cabinet officers, nor diplomats, nor collectors, nor postmesters, worth looking after, would be safe from one week's end to another.

This party, which consists of malesas we] | by Mr. A. Braham ; » Pas seul, by Mle. Lola Montes ; as females, has been rapidly increasing during the last few years. The learning, eloquence, courage, wis- dom, views of tho orators at their conventions, have at tracted the attention ofthe community North, South, East and West. Their words have been carried on the wings of the prees—particularly the New York HeraLp—to the remotest bounds of civilization, and their arguments have doubtless made a deep impression upon the stony hearts of the sterner sex. The continual dropping of water will wear acavity even in astone, and the constant preaching of woman for her rights will havo its effect at last. These women have proved thom- selves vastly superior to a large proportion of our Congressmen, and might fill their places, not only without loss to their constituents, but with great gain to the whole country. They have now at- safely venture upon making a nomination for tho Presidency. They have as good a right to do it as the men—as good a right as the free soilersor the liberty party. " By taking this step they will gain a higher po- world, nothing less than a hecatomb of a million of souls was required to make a first-rate military chief tain. It will also be seen that Genghis Khan stands ahead even of Napoleon. It will be observed, too, that the maximum of human destruction re- quired to make a military chieftain eligible to the highest civil offices in America, is exceedingly mode- rate, compared with the lists of blood and carnage of Europe and Asia. But compare the sum-total of General Scott’s military career with Jackson, Har- rison and Taylor’s summing up, and see how far his claims transcend either of those three, orall of them together. We, therefore, insist upon it that Gene- tal Scott ought to stand, and must stand, upon his gunpowder popularity. Let us bide the result upon this issue. We are fearful that General Scott, if elected, will keep his cabinets, the country and himself in constant oxci- ments, with his frequent changes and explosions ; but that would be good for the newspapers. Every morning we should have important news from Wash- ington, and a cabinet explosion at least once a week. What glorious times for the newsboys!

If the laws do not give pretection to the travelling community against this awful state of things, what other conclusion can anybody arrive at than that, in this, the greatest, the freest, and most civilized country in the world, there is not as much security for human life as under the most despotic and bar, barous of human governments. The great mistake made by the steamboat owners ig in relying upon speed instead of safety. As long as there was no railroad, speed was a very im- portant consideration; but the steamboats are now so far beaten in point of time by the railroad, that their true policy is to establish their reputation for security—otherwise the railroad will utterly ruin them. Formerly it was supposed that railroads were more hazardous than steamboats—the man- lieved at the time, to be evasive and deceitful, and | 9 gement of the boats on the North river proves the we are now satisfied that it was so, from the fact | reverse.

On the application of Robinson for the publication of his letter in the columns of the HERALD, we dis- tinctly stated to him that we had no objections to publish it, but that it was but fair and just, between the two parties, that the letter of our New Hamp- shire correspondent, in reply to his abusive speech, should appear in the columns of the Tribune and Times.

But this, we be- Rowpyism IN THE City AND 1Ts Causes. —Tho newspapers continue to utter a great deal of morale ity and fustian, on the progress of rowdyism in this city, and the causes through which it has attained to such @ malignant growth. Many of the Alder- men have been very justly blamed for interfering with the duties of the police, and letting loose the rowdies who had been arrested, in flagrante delictu. The Mayor has issued a proclamation on the sub- ject, and the District Attorney has promulgated an important legal opinion, deciding that the Aldermen have no right to interfere with the police in the dis- charge of their duties for the protection of peace and good order in socicty. All this, in relation to the contested question for authority between the Aldermen and tho police, may be perfectly right ; but there is one functionary, who is ro ready to give us logal ad- a military man, gentloman, as a member of so- vico, blaxning the conduct of the Aldermen for rose ciety, a¢ a Christian, and as a good man, than we | @ting the vowdies after having been arrosted, whe- have.

Their influence will thushe felt inthe country —it will be felt most palpably by saving Goncral Scott, whom all the men of the whig party, and all the old soldiers that fought under him, cannot re- deem from inevitable defeat and disaster, without the aid of the women. Like a chosen band of Amazons—a corps de reserve, brought up at the crisis of the battle when all scems'lost—they will act the part for Scott that the Guards did for Wel- lington at Waterloo, when the scale of victory seemed to incline against him. Let old Chippewa do the right thing with the women, and, in the hour of need, he has only to say, ‘‘ Up, women, at them!” Our word forit, they will make short work of Pierce and the democrats. Doubtless, this was the corps de reserve roferred to in a recent 2 article in the Tribune, upon which the writer so confidently relied for success. We repeat, nothing can rescue the cause of Scott from utter destruction, but the Woman’s Rights Convention. It behooves the General, therefore, to close at once with any offer of a coalition that may be made by the com- mittee, and pledge himself to the fortunes of ‘the better half of creation ” We know, by experience, that, both in despotisms and constitutional monarchies, women have been just as good rulers as men, and that kingdoms and empires have flourished under their sway in a most upprecedented manner. The three most prosperous periods of English history have been under the reigns of Elizabeth, Anne, and Victoria. Un- der Catharine of Russia, though she was a terrible Bloomer in her day, the empire prospered as it never did before. In Spain the queens have been about as successful as the kings. In France, woman is excluded from rule by the Salique law, but it is very questionable whether the liberty of that country would not be in a more advanced condition at the present moment if this re- striction had not prevailed; especially when we find her give birth to such women as Madame de Stael, who actually ruled France, though not sitting upon a throne, as other women have ruled courts and kings and prime ministers, and thereby the most civilized nations of the world. Tho history of | gg’ France has also proved that a woman can be a great general, and lead armies to victory. The name of Joan of Arc will never be forgotten. Petticoat government, therefore, isnot so despicable a thing as some people think. On the whole, in monarchical and absolute governments, it has been as vigorous and prudent as the régime of the breeches. What petticoat (or rather, we sup- pose, pantelette) government would be in a ro- public is a problem as yet unsolved, an experi- ment to betried. There has been no example of it in history ; but in these days of progress, and espe- cially in a country where woman is honored moro highly than in any other country in the world, wo would not be surprised if, in 1856, or, at all events, in 1860, 2 woman should be nominated for the Pre- sideney of the United States. More unlikely things have happened before now. Much will depend on the course pursued by the Woman’s Rights Conven- tion to morrow, and we look forward to the result with deep interest. ALL ON ACCOUNT OF THE WEATHER.--The weather during tho present season has been committing ter- rible ravages,not only on the pears and peaches, but in the field of politics and presidential candidates. For some time past, every whig meeting has beon almost ruined by the horrible weather, such as “prodigious showers of rain,” and ‘awful bursts of thunder and lightning,” keeping thousands on thousands away from the mass meetings and interminable gather- irgs. In fact we rather suspect that tho bad weathor was the cause of the dofeat of the whigs at the recent election in North Carolina, and we have no doubt that the weather must have been droadful- ly bad, very recently, inthe State of Iowa, when these confounded democrats gave the whigs such terrible thrashing. We really hope the clerk of the weather will stop in his career, and have some pity on the State of Vermont, during the election of this week. Lot the poor whigs have at least ono cloar day, and one chance for earrying a State before the eternal flood of November comes upon them in a fu- rious avalanche.
