Nine whiga and three democrats were elect d on the aldermanie ticket From tbe fishing regions we learn that only one veesel—the Caroline Kiight—has of late been seized by the British, and she, at the time, was ten wiles north of Prinse Edvard Island, and there were several others fishing between her and the ahore. Her captain is of opinion thut ber large car- go of mackerel had something to do with promptiog the seizure. It is thowght that the mackerel re- tarne this year will fall ehort one-half of the usual average. By the last arrival from Buenos Ayres, we are formed that Gen Urquize bas been officially ro- etgnieed se Provisional Dictator, and that delegates goom the different provinces were about to assemble forthe purpose of forming a general constituent eorgrees. The independence of Paraguay had been acknowledged, and 2 treaty of friendship and com- meree enter: d into, by which the free navigation of rivers was -tecured to La Plata and Brazil. We beer nothing further of the negotiations of Mr. Beohevek for fice navigation to American vessels Drquiza bad revoked the decree admitting flour imto Buenos Ayres, which isa matter of some im- portence to those engaged in that trade. Another earthquake is reported to bave been ex- Perienced at St Jago de Cuba, onthe 28th ult, and the frightened inhabitants had again sought refuge in mud hute along the sea store. Hon. Thomas Baring is now in Washington city. He was introduced to President Fillmore yesterday. The pernicious and deplorable working of the Maine Liquor law is every day becoming more apps- tert. Outrages are of frequent occurrence in those Bcates where it has been enacted, aud, as a matter of course, are imputed by its advocates to the oppo- Bente of the said odious measure. Two barns have Iately been burned, one at Exeter and the other at Richmond, in Rhode Island, and their destruction, asurusl, is laid atthe door of those who heve openly expressed their hoe:ility to the anti-liquor system, altbough there is no proof whatever against them, further than that the owners of the property destroyed bad previously decided, as magistrates, im favor of enforcing the law. Now, whether any orall of the mischief, of which we hear so muoh—for there is no telling who are the actual miscreants—has been caused by those who are @barged with it or not, it is quite certain that the very plan the Maineacs themselves have adopted, of accusing their opponents of the perpetra- tion of every misdemeanor, sbows the utter abomin- stion with which tbe ultra measure is viewed by & large portion of the people. Is will not work amoothly—and, notwithstanding all their exertions, they cannot compe! thore who have the independence to think fur themselves, silently to acquiesce in it. No ruch illiberal and unwholesome law—one that atrempts to deprive a man from exercising hie own judgment in a matter appertaining to himself alone —wiil ever be sanctioned by any great portion o the American people. Where it is now in force, it bas created the mort bitter feeling of animosity smong those who were tormerly friendly neighbors; therefore, the sooner it is repeulod the better it will be for the general peace and happiness of s0- aisty. The difficulty which war created among the fire men at Fuffelo, in consequence of taking from them the right to elect their chief engineer, has not been settled yet. It wil! be reccllected that all but one or two of the engine companies resigned some weeks ago, and that the Common Council were compelled te ea!) upon the citizens to eome forward and act as firemen Bimce that time the old firemen have ured s good deal of annoyance to the newly or- S221red companies, snd, on Baturday evening, neve- wa) of them were arrested for their riotous conduct.

In addition to many columns of advertisements, moch very interesting reading matter will be found on the inside pages of this sheet. We will merely mention the following:-—Conclusion of the extra- ordinary memoir of General Scott; Wm. H. Seward and the coming anniversary celebration of the rescue of Jerry; report of tha meetiog of liberals ia Chat- hom Hall; paper from Dr. Hare on the whirlwind theory; letter (rom Montrea!, literary reviews, &c. to China—Hon. Marshall, Perhaps in no reepeot is the importance of our acquisition on the Pacifie—the great State of Cali- fornia—more felt than in the illunitable field which it has thrown open to commerce between China and the United States. Isis not only to the auriferous seil of California that we !ook for wealth—ber har- bors are the entrepots of s eommerce which will son make us the almost undisputed carriers of the wealth of the Indian ocean The majestic clipper ships—some of them over 2.000 tons—which are almost daily leaving this port, bring home to us the realization of a trade the extent of which can only be measured by the capacity of our ship builders to furnish the necessary vessels It is a new era—a peaceful revolution which will shake Europe to its centre, with a power irresistible in itself--over- whelming in its consequences. The direct trade of the United States with China has till of late years been of comparatively little importance. The restrictions of he old navigation laws of England, which prevented a foreign vessel from taking to that country a cargo not the growth, product er manufacture of the nation to which the etip belonged, acted ae a check upon the enterprise of American vessels, by giving to English bottoms the advantoge of the ‘indirec: trade,” as it was termed. The abrogation of the British navigation laws, and the consequent removal of this restiiction, was the first step in opening the trade to our merchants. The golden discoveries in California, by opening a The Misston Humphrey very important crisis » gentleman po distinguished for bis position and ability asthe Hon.

It i# to be hoped that the President will place a national vessel at Mr. Marshall's dispoeal, to convey him to bis destination, | for there can be no doubt that the prestige which it would give bis arrival would be of the greatest ad- vantage in securing for bim that respect which the representative of this country demands. The Chi- | nese, in common with ail Eastern nations, lay great | weight upon ceremonials, and we therefore regard | it.as of the last consequence that our goveromeny should do everything in its power to add digaity aod importanee to Mr. Marsball’s mission. Tue SLANDER ON GENERAL Scort’s CHARACTER AS a GENTLEMAN.—The disreputable gang of 59 cialists who congregate around the Tyibune, repeat the calumny againet the character of General Soot! as a gentlemen and polished man in the souinsy of ledies. They have the temerity to vouch for the assertion, but without the slightest foundation fr the story which they have invented and cireulawd at the Bouth. We again reiterate the full aod per- ect denial of its trath, and boldly aseert that it is falee in all its parts, challenging them to produce the slightest tittle of evidence of any kind. lo corroboration of this statement, we received, yes terday, the following note from a former reporter and writer of this journal, which goes very far to show the utter falsity of tho Zvibune’s vhurge- egainst General Seott, in relation to his opinion of he New York Herarp :— New Your, Sept 27. 1852 TO THE EDITOR OF THY HERALD The story repented by the Tvibune this moraing, in wbich the design appears to be to wound # lady's ferl nz* by attacking the Hearn over the shoulders of Gener Scott. invites me to refer to the Suet, that in an interees with General Svott, at West Point, on the Fourth of July 1850. he not only inquired kindly of me with respect | Mr Bennett and bis family, but expressed im very warw erms, bis admiration of the ability disptuyed oy th Hexat, adding thet he read it every day with great in terest. “At that ‘ime I was engaged as a writer for you journal and, I thing, stated the substanee of Gev, Saut: remarks, in a letter dated ut West Polat, A reference to the files of your journal will determine this fact Resosot- fully, ISAAO ©, PRAY. To thie, we could furnish abundant evidence if other parties were nearer at hang, but some of thom are in Europe, and even we should not hesitate to call General Scott himself to the stand, it it were necestary, to determine the character of the caluany visa pure invention, eilly and ridiculous enougd concocted by the crew of the Tibune offive, bur been in private circulation for several months, and was cept by them to some of the Southern whig jour- nals, for the purpore of making its first appearance in that region, in order to check the influence an’ popularity of the HERALD in the present election The invention, however, has recoiled upon the ii- ventors. Wherever it has appeared, the democrati joarnels bave taunted the whig newspapers, on th: strength of that calumny, with the rude, ungentle monly behavior of their candidate towards a lad) who was polite enough to offer him a newspaper. General Scott has always been a reader of the trade to that region, was, however, the great incen- tive to the enterprise which has filled the Pacific with our ebips. A vessel loads now for Galifornia; there the ditcharges, and takes a freight for China; ar riving there, she receives her cargo of tea, and, coming home by the way of Kurope, takes udvan- toge of the markets of Great Britain, and, if it is desirable, sells her tea there, and is enabled to take a still different freight for the United S'ates. Under theee circumstances, the importance of our having a minicter in China, clothed with diplomatic powers, plenipotentiary, at once suggests iteelf. The President, in hs last annual message, recom mended to Congress that the commissioner to China should be placed on the same footing with other ministers. Congress responded to that recommen- dation, by making Mr. Marehall’s outfit and salary eighteen thousand dollars. The office of commissioner is not exclusively of a diplomatic character, though the person holding it is charged with diplomatic functions. Our ministers abroud are appointed by and with the advice and consent of the Serate, and dircharge such diplomatic duzica only as may be devolved upon them by instruction fiom the State Department. The commissioaor to China baz duties prescribed by law, in addition to instructions he may receive from the State Depart- ment—duties which bring him into correspondence direetly with Congress, and require him to exercise powers appertaining to every department of go- vernment. Thus, he is a judge in cases of contract sounding in damages over $500, when either party may appeal from the decision of the consul and jury who try sush case in the first instance, or when imprisonment may be imposed upon an American citizen extending over ninety. days, or a fine ex- ceeding $100 may be imposed upon a delinquent party. He isa legislator, having the right to alter the laws of the United States as operative in China, in certain contingencies, by the simple publication of his own.decree to that effect. He is required to frame the style and form of process for consular ju dicial proceedings—the manner of appointment aad compensation of those who execute it—the manner of conducting trials before our consuls in China— the costs of proceeding—the fees which may be charged for service—the forms of trials and jadg mente, and the means of enforcing the execution of such judgments, as well as the grounds for granting new trials where error has been committed ; in fac, to erecta system anda judicial establishment, and to evperintend ite operation. Cases of murder are tried before the onsale, by juries summoned to try the offender, and the result is submitted to the com missioner, who may confirm or set aside the fading Uj he approves it, he may order the exesutioa of the culprit; may reprieve him, or may remand him aud his cere to the President for pardon. The cos‘s collected in the consular courts are directed by law to be remitted to the commissioner, who is to re port to Congress, annually, the difference of re ceipts and expenditures. It will et once bescen that these powers are more extensive by fur than the usual powers conferred oa foreign mivieters; but owing to the distance of China from Washington, they seem to be novessary to aa energetic administration of American affairs under the treaty. These powers can only operate on American citizens in the dominions of China, the contro] and regulation of whom is reserved by our government, and entrueted to tho commissioner. I.dependent of these powers, which are conferred by law, the commissioner may be charged with such functions as a diplomatist az the necessities or the policy of the country may suggest to the President to be proper; and the importance which Congress has conferred on the office, by raising its emolu- ments to thatof the highest mission known to our government, evidently suggested to the Executive tbe expectation of that body that Mr. Marshall should be given ample powers to negotiate for the interests of our commerce. The growing trade be- tween China and the United States makes thie dis- tant mission one of great concern to the commercial interests of this country. Mr. Cusbing’s treaty wee made in 1843, at the verge of the empire, and with no farther knowledge on our part than bed been acquired by w trade at Canton, under the old system of the hong. Itspro- visions are well enough, for it secures for us ail that ether nations may acquire. Yet we apprehend that China has not executed the troaty according to its spirit, for we understand that the gates of Canton have net been opened to our people, though the five he of { auton, Amoy, Fooshowfeo, Ningpo, and eh. , wore to sae, be free, by express treaty etipa- In 18/1 1866 the treaty is to be reviewed amended.

For the other personal and untrue assaul*: f our cotemporary, we shall make an answer in ac other tribunal than that of the columns of a news poper. Dee ernlllees el Tue Irvine House Cuangine Prorrirtors — t isnot generally known that the late gentlemani proprietor of the Irving House has retired frou the management of that hotel and disposed of ai bis interest initto Mr W H Burroughs, lato «¢ the Franklin House. Mr. Howard his been at th head of this establishment for a period of only ture- years, ard from his polite, urbane, and business nke manners, he has given to it a prestige and name unrurpassed, if equalled, by any other ho e in this metropolis. We are gratified to learn that he hae reaped the just rewards of his talent and energy, in the accumulation of a magnificent for tune, which enables him now to retire from business, and live in splendor and affluence wheresoever he lists. He has received the sum of one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars for his interest in th bueinees and premises, and we learn that, adding tbis to his profits for the three years of his manage ment, he is now master of the prizcely fortune o! three hundred thousand dollars. If his ambitior prompted him, he might, with this sum. buy ou: some of the dukedoms or principalities of the Oli World; but Mr. Howard is a thorough going republican, and despises all aristocratic aud feudal customs. He proposes merely to pro ceed to Europe, make a complete tour of tha: continent, travel through Greece, Turkey, Syria. Arabia, and the Holy Land, dive desp into the fount of classical lore, study the ancient Chaldaic and then return to this great modern republic, and for aught we know to the contrary, become the next den ocratic candidate for its Presidency. This would be a glorious climax for a life well spent in the ways of industry and utility, and we doubt not that Mr Howard would evince as much good tact in administering the affairs of this mighty pation ashe did in governing his great establish, ment. His finale as host was celebrated yesterday evening, by speeches and sentiments delivored at the close of dinner. Among the oratore on that occa sion were ex-President Tyler, General Ward; General Walbridge, Mr. Joseph Hoxie, Mr Holmes, SC .and Metsrs Howard and Burroughs, the old apd new proprietors. We havea full report of the proceedings, which we will give in tomorrow's HERALD, and which we promise will be found extremely interesting. Fun FoR THE ABOLITIONISTS —The great and notable event of the rescue of Jerry, the fugitive slave, which took place in Syracuse on the first of October last, 18 to be celebrated with great éclut, on ite anniversary, next Friday. Bee the card pub lished in another part of our paper this morning, convening all the congenial spirits, to meet in Syra- cure, to commemorate that event. Fred Douglass and Gerrit Smith, and other dissinguished woolley beads, are to be there, and #0 is John P. Halo, the Presidential candidate of the party, who will then and there deliveran oration apropos to the oveasion, and to his own present position as aspirant to the Presiden- cy of the United States. As this is the Jerry whom Mr. W. B. Seward took to his house and hearth, aod in whose condition he so much interested himselfs’ to become bis advocate and defender, wm with his presence, and participate in the celebratien. He certainly ought to, particularly as it will afford him the opportunity of neutralizing any effects which Mr Hale might produce detiimental to the cause of bis protegé—Goneral Scott. The Jerry celebration will be a grand affuir, aad exercise a powerful inflaenoe over the great question of the day. Lage raom Pont av Pratt, Sr. Domino —By the fcboomer Ieabella, Captain Boyd, we have advices from Port om Platt to the 6th instant. Business of ail kinds was very dull, and the market for American produce was overstocked, The price for white pine was $22; pitch pine, $26; ritingles, $7 per foot; tobacco 12\0.

The saotenve has been universally accepted by modern philosophers. The state of society in foreign ooantrivs, generally, is inferred from the style aud language of the news papers in the leading cities Let us suppose such a test applied to America, Let us faney » Frenchman, or a German, or Ras- sian, or an Englishman, now, among us, sollesting materials for @ rocial avatomy of the Yankevs, and esrefully filing the leadiog journals as vouchers for his assertions. He arrives ix the country on the eve of @ great political movement—a time when every man reads the papers, and feels a persona interest in their coutents. Toe appointment of a cbief ruler is the event in an American's life; be ho democrat or be be whig, he ssecot look on the con- teat with indifferenee, or refuse to participate in the polemic in which his daily paper is exgaged. At this pericd, above all others, is the press identified with society. The foreiga pbilo wopber will confidently expect to find sober discussion and deep thought in the journals be receives He will, on this oecssion, be pro pared for 2 calm review of the late whig poli. y, and an ingniry into the exp-diensy of a change He will look forward to a searobing analysis of the benefite promised by free traders, and @ full asser- tion of the rights of the manufacturing aad agricul- tuzal interests. He will feel certain that even the east influential journals will coutain a dispassionate argument in favor of, or against, the extension of be powers of the federal goveroment. He willex- peet e+eay6 from all sides on the free soil policy, the canal law, and the oth r momentous political que+ tions of the day. Above al), remembering that the Americans are an enlightened and highly intellec- tual people, he will neverdieam of the newspaper war being waged in any but the mort gentlemanly tone and the most courteous language To what conclusion must he come, when he finds that, with one or two exceptions, the oaly weapons of debate used by the press are gross personulilies and low vitugeration? What estimate will he form of the American character, when, instead of a paral- ‘el between whigism and democracy, he sees the leading jourvals bent on outstripping each other in foul libels on the private character of the rival can didates? What opinion of American polities mast be his, when he discovers the coutroversy reduced to scands’wus or tilly anecdotes revpecting the do. mestiy habits of General Scott aud Pierce, and the merits of the rival policies entirely forgotten? And at what standard will he rate the refinement of the American people, when be reads the lamentable ox amples of vulgar scurrility with which our cotempo- raries abound 7 God forbid, for the honor of our country, that the task we have suggested should be seriously uo dertaken while the state ofthe press remains ag it is Warm though our indignation aod keen our ridicule at the faults and follies of our neighbors, we could never hold up our heads if Germaay, France, or Britain were familiar with our newspaper literature. The disgrace would overwhelm us. Let us clorely hide the blemish on our fair fame, and concentrate all our energies on the means of re- moving it. We have collected during the past three or four menutbs, and purpose publisbing, a few scraps fom the leading journals of both parties a calm perusal of which will probably call he biush to the cheek of every American. We hardly know how to classify or arrange them, their nature and character differ so widely. Coin- cioirg all in one common vulgarity, each editor ha, his peculiar mode of showing to the world how small his pretensions arc to the rank of a gentleman; each loves to charge bis antagonists with some peculiar vice. One accusation seems familiar to the pen, and we presume to the lips, of many of these editors; they fulminate it on all occasions where they differ in opinion from a cotemporary, regardless of age, s°X, or decorum ; it comes naturally to them, and seems—£o perverted has our taste become —a matter of course in their columns; in fact, they could not eatiafactorily deny a given assertion without a bold Yon told # lie; an odious. damnable lie ; Upon my oul 8 lie ; ® wicked he. They repudiate all milder forms of contradiction— the “quip modest,” the ‘retort eburlis! ” the ‘reproof valiant,” the ‘‘counterebeck quarrel- some,” and even the “lie with circumstance,” a3 tome and weak—notbing but the ‘lie direct,” burled in the teeth of an adversary, repeated and aggravated with opprobrious epithets, is to their mind We basten to add that no more unpleasant consequences follow the charge than a retort of the lie; like honest Touchstone, they ‘avoid it, with an If.” In other countries, the open imputation of the most disgracefal vice which depravity has invented—the epithet of ‘* liar’’—would lead toa hostile meeting, and doubtless the calumniator would dearly expiate the outrage. We see plainly, that ‘lying is the crime of cowards;” for the reply to the epithet is seldom more than Sosie’s candid confession :— Pour des scttires, dis m'en tant que tu voudras Ce vont Kcaeres blersures, Et je'ne m’en fiche pas, To boncat truth, our public men bave become 0 ac- customed to be told they are ‘‘liars”—addicted to the ‘accursed vice” which Plato considered the greatest of crimes, and Montaigne wouid have punished with the stake—the vieo which, if prova- lent, would rot society to its core—that their pulse does not beat one stroke the faster when they hear the atrocious epithet. Thus, the whigs laugh whon the Southern Demo- crat eays “‘he has been trying to count the whig lies uttered during the canvass.” Nobody feeleaggrieved when the Morning Express (July 24th) charges the National Democrat with ‘‘foul faleehood.” The latter paper, not to be ou:done in strong language, pours forth @ volley of coarse abuse on a whig writer, commencing (Aug 9th and 19th) with the mild announcement, that ‘‘he is a fit tool for dirty work,” and rising, by a gently graduated soale, from ‘villanous calumny,” and ‘base, miserable falsifi- cation,” to “infamous villany, for which he has been kicked and cuffed;” the Democrat caps tho climax with a pious shudder at ‘‘tho atrocity of his falsehood.” We are not aware that any blood has been epilt in consequence, and commend the philo- sopby and moderation of all parties concerned. The New Hampshire Patrim, inan argamentative article “ to show the baseaces, the downright scan- daliem of certain fellows” therein aliuded to, mildly reproves ite adversaries fur using “‘ all the arts of fread, forgery, and falsehood,” which latter, accord- ing tothe gentlemanly editor of that paper, has been “ base, palpable, deliberate and persevering ” Referring to the Washington Republic, ( Aug. 23,) 8 fair antagonist in this style of reasoning, it sub- mits that the Republic ** either lied wilfully or lied recklessly; and, fearfal lest this rtion should not be sufficiently explicit, the Patriot adda that it is merely anxious to ‘show ap the reeklessnosa, mendacity, and meanness of the leading Washing- ton organ. It stops at no lie, no mean aot, no pore version of testimony or records, which it thinks will aid its derpicable cause ” The Albuny Evening Journal and the Tribune are more pithy in their attacks. ‘He lives,” is the usual formula, without extraneous ornament or floorish. The former, indeed, oocasionaily embel- lisbes the obarge with a fow aggravating ciream- stances ; a4, for iostance, in the passage (Aug. 24) wherein he quistly remarks that phe editus of the dood.” But this is » devistion from ite usual classic lacovism. Perhaps the palm of excellence ought to be awarded to the sourrility whiva purports to illustrate a moral truth. His Satanic Majesty is never more proutianly himself than when be ascends the pulpit to deliver @ moral lecture. There is something de- lightfolly unctious in the following reprimand, ad- mipietered by the Washington Union to the Re- public (Avg. 10):— Here we bave we illustrs’/om of the crooked polloy which men must pursue sien they depart from the Muth— ria GienOt perver’) Ds LO prop Up Lae mendacious pt which bore falsehood ov its fase, and bad no- iLeurreney bur the credibility of anot of cop: piracors. #be deem wothing too sacred for assault, botbirg too vile for ure sua who have never hesitated wo trample un the bwh, or lo outtage common decency ta cerry ing out their iniawous purpores, The Mowmg Express, Now York, is famous ia al) the different styles of giving the liv. We have already reen bow it demoliehed the Nuteonal Dem> cat with asivgle shot. In the same terse way, it knocks down the London correspoudent of the ‘1\mes with the single remark that bis comuauaiwa tions are “letters from a liar.”. As au example of the ornate “lie direct,” we may quote the follow. ing, which may terve a8 @ model for fature imita- tion. Iv is from the Bapress of Iss Juce:— It would be degrading the pre# to-appiy to this Mr, Pike pow. che epiibets bis columuies sgainst. and false hoods upon, tueb men as We may in brief. every garwent he bes ou is earmed: by b His bread is won by untiring lying Buy for lying, be Would starve, and reese, or go naked as | he beasts go. In days of yore, whea one bot beaded geatleman assailed another with Through tke false parsage of thy throat, thou liest! he wos no true man if he did not instantly add:— And icterebangeably throw down my gage, ‘To prove my# ifa loyal gvotleman. Even in the best biovd chau bered In his bosom, And even in these peaceful imes, we are inclined to think that there are few in decent soviety, Who would “swallow down the lis” without some at- tem pt to avenge the insult. Amoog our cotempo- yaries, it seems the rule is different. They give and take the lie in the ordinary course of business; and are none the worse friends afterwards. Like othec filth, it wipes off. And who caves for the stain it leaves? Not those, at all events, whom no good breeding or sense of propriety cau restrain from such weapons. So potent is the bad example—o familiar have the partizan journals rendered tbe lie in the mouths of our politicans—that even General Scott, himself, the whig candidate for the Presidency —a hero in the field, and @ polished gentlewan in private life—oan not address a public meeting withoat resorting to this pot-Rouse argument. *Geatlemen,” snid he, the other day, to tho Columbus deputation, “the statement referred to is false—it is a /ce—an inven- tion, gentlemen—a lve. * * Jt is u ite—a false and groundless lie.” Propose Dinner To MR. Baring —The com- plimentary banqueting in honor of this distiaguish ed capitalist, which bad its iuiciative ia Boston a week or two ago, is about to be imitated in this city, though we have pot yet heard that the day has been definitely arranged. The merchants, bankers, and fioanciers of Wail street, are deter mined not to be outdone in hoxpitality or magni- fieence, by the gentry im the same line of business in State street; but we think that the pleasure of par- ticipating in the affair sbould not be entirely mo- nopolised by the capitalists and finaaciers of the aetropolis. Mr Baring is a gentlemsn universally known aud reepected, andj the pleasure of fitiag bim should not be confined to a certain class, but should rather be open to all ranks, professions, con- ditions and degrees of our fellow citizens senoommamerenerenraraarane Madame Sontag.—The Portrait of this Jistinguinhed artiste taken in th wary. is now on exini- Vition at BRADY'S National ondway, corner of Fulton street.
