Were we to adopt this classification, the Courter would naturally fa-ander the latter bead. It is not so spicy as the Mercury or the Des- paich, nor can it vie with the ilas for gross | blackguardism, or with the Times for stolid obtuseness. It is simply a quiet shect, to leyuns, Moravians, Quakers, Shakers, Swedenbor gians, ‘ New-lights,” with about fifty other sects which we have not time to enumerate, all flourishing like the green bay tree. Churcles spr Dg up on all sides, and are only exceeded in sum- ber by hotels and groggeries. The amount of clergy, occupied and unecsupied, in saving the souls of the public, far exceeds that of the shoemakers, and is fully equal to the enormous list of lawyers. These facts establish vouclusively that we are @ religious people. When we ialk, therefore, of the Sumlay press, a stranger will naturally expect to hear of pi- ous newspapers, edited by godly men, and farnishing sppropriate spiritual good for their readers between Question Settled ut last. | We publish in another part of this day’s paper, @ very important correspondence, that gives ivs qui- etus, now and forever, to the infumous ealumay gregationalists, Universaliste, Catholics, Woe | Bill was before Parliament, “the beastly “ maniacs,” “ stupid and ungrateful rabble.” The Courier, on the contrary, thinks it cofelusive evi- dence of the “fiunkeyism of the Hnglish people,” that Wellington should have been so honored, and prediote that not single tear will be shed for him. The insane gentleman who does these things for the Ailas bas got it into his head that ‘all the ener- gies of the Duke were devoted to the enslavement of his race,” and firmly believes, we doubt not, that Wellington voted against Catholic emancipa- tion. “Derty ‘(dem was wustained in hie font. a| ne Sunday Press in their Shirt Tails. truly great and world-renowned man,” ‘the levgtby acd somewhat amorous debate tok - ‘This is undoubtedly @ religious community.

The Captain General had received jnformation from one of his spies that a Creole, named Guzman, hed taken his passage for New York ia the Cornelia, and that letters for certain parties there had eon given him to deliver, It appears that Guzman applied for bie passport, which was given to him; but at tne moment of his departure, when the Oaptain General made sure the ktters would be on board, he ordered the ‘yessel to be stopped and searched.

These disgraceful insults to vessels sail- img under the American flag, should be promptly amquired into by the government at Washington; and if it finds that the reports relative to both the Crescent City and the Cornelia are correct, an in- stent aed unshrinking demand for redress should be made upon the Cuban government. There should be no wavering, no dilitoriness, about this matter, whatever. ‘We to-day publish the full report ef the special Sommittee of the House of Representatives, charged with the investigation of Secretary Corwin’s con- mestion with the Gardiner case. We have else- where spoken with regard to this subject. The real difficulty does not appear to have been touched, vis.: the impropriety of members of Congress prose- eating claims against the government. However, it could not be expected that a committee of the House would censure proceedings so frequently indulged in by some of their brethren According to our latest despatch relative to the Floride. election, the whigs are supposed to have been defeated. Gen. Soott, it will be seen, is still quite busily en- grged in making stump speeches in Ohio. He has mde some four or five since last Thursday morning, on his departure from Cincinnati. See the tele- grephic reports. Au immense meeting of the.democrats took place at Greensburg, Pa., last Thursday. Fifteen thou- Mand persone are suppored to have been present. Hon.

The controversy with regard to the extending of missionary aid to eburches in slave- holding States was compromised, by resolving that aid should be extended in cases where ministers | preach and inculcate the principles ef anti-slavery. This being the case, it is not likely that many | Bouthern churches will receive aid and comfort. | On Thursday evening, Lewis Tappan offered a reso- | Yution denouncing the Fugitive Slave law; but meet- 7°8 With a great deal of opposition from the more sen sible members of the convention, he yesterday with- drew it. The telegraphic despatch from Concord teems | atrocious fraud was hatched by Sliovegamnon & Co., of the New York Tribune, and industriously circulated ail over the country by the majority of | the whig newspapers, with a zeal and perseveraace worthy of a*better cause thau personal defamation for party purposes. The documents we publish do not remove-any doubt from our own mind on the gubdjest, for we never had adoubt. We know that, were part of the some foal brood, it was coneoctod for the vilo purpose of misrepresenting an honest man before the country, in the hope of damaging him in the contest for the Presidency. But there are many dupos of party intrigue who may have been led astray by the false lights hung out by des- peradoes, for whose conduct a counterpart can only be found in the dark deeds of the Barnegat wreckers. To all such simpletona, this oorrespoudence must | bring conviction like the lightuing’s flash; and we en- vy'not the man—hopelessly blind must he be—who needs any further evidence to convince him of the cruel wrong done to Gencral Pierce by these politi- cal pirates. To accuse an innocent man of @ crime, has been always regarded, inevery country and in every age, as an act of baseness, stamping its perpetrators as cold blooded villains. But to charge a crime upon @ man not only innocent, but known to the arcusor to abhor the crime, aud to have done his utmost to prevent it, is an acme of villany for which language fails to supply a name; and all men, even criminals, shun contact with the moral Jeper. Doos this species of infamy loge ita treble-dyed criminality when it is perpetrated to defeat one cendidate in a Presidential eleetion, and to secure the success of another? Does ‘‘the end sanctify the means?” or are the authors of the accusation against General Pierce not to be placed in the same moral category with the wretches who take ‘‘bloed-money” to Swear away the lives of innocent men in a court of justice 7 As in the case of the charges of cowardice and drunkenness, we knew that this chargo also would one day or other fall upon the heads of its coneoctors with a terrible retribution ; and here it j®, like a thunderbolt that must crush them to the earth. It is one of those sudden, uoforeseen ciroum- stances that generally turns up in the end to vindi- cate the character of the defamed, and to put to confusion those w|o have borne false witnes: against their neighbor. A gentleman named Flood, in Arkansas, nearly a year ago, makes a bet with another, as to “whether Roman Catholics were excluded from office in the State of New Hampshire, or prohibited from taking office by the constitution or laws of that State;” and as agreed to write to Mr. Charles O’Conor, of this city, in order to have the bet decided—tha: gentleman, from his great legal knowledge, aud the fact of his being a Catholic, being regarded as good authority on the subject. It appears, however, that Mr. O’Conor was not informed on the question; and he naturally wrote to General Pierce, with whom he had a slight acquaintance, and who was the beet source of information. Bo deeply humiliat- ed was General Pierce by the fact of this odious stain still resting upon the constitution of his native State, that he was ashamed to reply at the time, and deferred his answer till he had reason to believe that the stigma was wiped away; but, as Mr. O’Conor remarks, “the wieh was father to the thought,” and he was soon doomed to bitter dis- appointment by the election returns. Mr. O°Co nor sende on General Pierce’s letter to Mr. Flood, of Jacksonport, Ark., together with a note of his own, subjoined on the same sheet of puper, dated 24th March, 1952. This original correrpondence, bearing the post | Office mark, lies at our office for the inspection | of any gentleman who doubts its genuineness, | together with the letter of Mr. Flood, dated September 10, 1852, returning the correspondence, at the request of Mr. O’Conor.

The A. had just arrived from St. John, B, and had about two hundred passengers on board, none of whom, very fortunately, received any injury Cape Breton is reported to have been visited by a very severe gale on the 29th ult., during the preva- lence of which four English barks, one brig, and one schooner, were wrecked, and some lives were Jost Of late several telegraphic despatches have been | received, generally by way of Charleston, stating | that there were cases of yellow fever at Savannah and as often have we recrived assurances from the Aatter place, poritively denying that there had been mere than three cases of sporadic disease, and assert- mg ‘hat the city was remarkably healthy. By way of setting the matter at rest, we to. day give two or | Uhre denpatebes, setting forth that searching in- | quiry bas been made, and that no case of yellow | fever exists in the place, although fifteen persons | @ied from the disease in Charleston during the three | days ending on Thursday Bix hundred dolore worth of silk and other goods | were taken from a dry goods store, which was broken open, at Norwalk, Coun., on Thursday night. Chambers Melntire, who was stabbed in the riot among the firemen at Philadelphia, last Sunday, @ied yerterday. It is very strange that the author. Mice of our neighboring vity cannot devise some weibod of checking the diegraceful and sanguinary yews among their firemen, Proper management would undoubtedly remedy the evil. Tho rot ie suid to have done great damage to the Potatoe crop iv some of the Britieh provinces in the Board of Aldermen inst evening, the Nine- teunth ward onse was concluded, and Alderman Do- myrmidons to New Hamepbire, to rake up musty re cords, which he perverted, misquoted and misrepro- sented in order to brazen out the original caarge. But here is a record that defies contradiction—here, Jeng before there was the slig htest idea of General Pierce being brought forward as a candidate for the democratic nomination for the Presideacy, we have under his own hand his genuine sentiments with regard to the religious test in the consti- tution of New Hampehire. Aud this is the man who was accused by the party press of being friendly to that intolerance of which in @ private letter he declares himself to be “ ashamed,” and expresses ‘a hope that the State will no longer be disgraced by it.” This unpremeditated letter, written Jong before General Pierce could have cherished a hope or entertained an idea of his nomination, is perfestly conclusive, and is like that kind of proof whish that great roa | Boner, Paley, adducee for the genuineness of tho writings of the New Testament—the undesigned coincidences and circumstances, which are stroaget than any direct testimony. If the authenticity of this correspondence rested merely on the word of Mr Jharles O’Conor, it would, to most minds, be per fectly satisfactory. and to every mind preferable to the statement of Robinson alias Slievegammon, and other men of that ilk. Bat, fortunately, we have the original correspondence itse f, with the irrefra- gible evidence of the postmark on the bavk of the seme sheet on whica the correspondence is written and which, therefore, bears its trath on its own face, and needs no buman testimony to confirm it The question now is, will the calumniators in whose journal the falee charge originally appeared, insert this corrcepondencet Will they make the | only reparation now in their power to the man they | have ro foully and wilfally misrepresented? And | will the other journals which have copied the | calumny into their columns, now make atonement | fer their misdeeds by also copying Mr. O'Conor's | letter? We shall wait and see; and if they refase to do this simple act « f jostice, the whole country will | know how to estimate the depth of the villany that | first concocted and ret on foot the vile imputation. | And now, when they are convicted of it, will not oon | fese and repent their crime, and “do the best their ci cumstanee allows’ to make amends for the cruel wicrg they have commithd. votes to tales and literary sketches, only one and a quarter are original, if rather prosy account of a journey to California deserves the title; the rest is filled with borrowed tales, many of them hacknied, and nearly all familiar to novel and magazine readers. By way of a solace under this meagre fore, the proprietors of the Courier promize ua anew novel, by the author of Elmira Bancker, (whe or what was Elmira Bancker?) ‘‘which,” they, “will be found to'bo moro richly worth reading than any romance whieh has been published during the present century,” ineluding, of course, the works of Dickens, Scott," Cooper, Bulwer, Irving, &o. It will be as ‘‘instructive as it is amusing;” and thus, combining utie'dulci, will ‘refresh the old, while it delights the-young.” This beats the quack doo- tors hollow. The only thing the Cowrzer people waut, is certi€cates from old and young, that, hav- ing seen the proof sheets, it ‘refreshed and delight. ed” them respectively, and that they will trouble the editor for another bottle—we mean, another chapter. Turning to tho inside page, we find leaders on a day’s frolicking at Newport, old clothes, the character of the day, the last murder, and e fow scraps of political items and town talk. It contains an article on the Duke of Wellington, which wo shall notice shortly—item, a pleasing weekly sum- mary of outrages (far leas piquent, by the way, than the collection furnished by the Despatch)— item, some theatrical notices, in which we-ere told that Mr. Placide is ‘‘unequalied, if not umapproach- able”—that Mephistopheles is ‘‘indifferent, and ex- tremely stupid”’—that Laura Keone “has yet much to learn” —but that “the public,” 7. e , the man ofthe Courter, will be indulgent and enceurage her,” (save the mark!)— item, an artiele headed‘*Musieal,”’ which contains nothing whatever about music, except the names of afew singers, with the stereotype epi- thets, savoring, on the whole, like tho last, of a judicious system of oyster house feoding: and this is what the Courier calls Sunday reading. We must do the Atlas the justice to sey, that it isnot utterly forgetful of the day on which it is read. Jo a late number it thus alludes to religion:— “ Until the Church of Rome was assaulted and violated by Henry the Eighth—the prodigal, the libertine the general debauchee, the murderer of haif-a dozen wives— and by Wickliffe and Lutner—the one a sodomist. and the other @ ‘canonized reke’'—it was the foster-mother of all that is glorious and great.” The editor has the coolness to add that he isa Protestant; we bad fancied he was a Turk, and a decidedly disreputable one. The last Atlas is adorned with four such woodcuts 28 one usually finds in the barrooms of country taverns, with a short biography of four of the candidates for State offices, published, of course, from quite disinte- rested motives, and without the knowledge of the individuals thus immortalized. ‘The cuts,” says the editor, ‘are admirable specimens of wood en- graving;” and he has the unparalleled crucKy to publish the name of the artist.” It contains, also, the last chapter of a harrowing tale, reprinted from the English edition, written partly in bad English, and partly in worse Irish, called ** Fardorougha, the Miser,” of which the editor, who is classically inclined, speaks in this wise:— “ In giving it to the reader. we have realized great sa’is- Saction: and. the more of it in consequence of the as- surauce we have had. that it has entertnined and de- ligkted our readers We hope that we may soon offer to them a banquet equally rich and refined.” Besides three or four leng political articles, and a biography of Wellington, in which Mrs. Coutts is called “Cutts” throughout, there are editorials on the quality of the “ puro Holland gin ” cold by a friend of the editor, on the bargains to be obtained ata certain store in tho Bowery, and on the matchless excellonce of certain dry goods for sale at a place mentioned, jumbled to- getber with the Reindeer accident, emigration, and | the Pierce rally, and written in a style fully eqnal | to the extracts we have already given. But it is, | perhaps, xs a linguist that the editor of the Atlus shines the most brightly. We trust our printer wil! reproduce the following extract hiceratim:— “Abrolving ourselves from the hesteria, which #0 often marks the career of the virtuso and the dillitante, w» listened to the five band of minstrels Mr. Wood fac nithes; and, with @ thousand others conceded. what was | not necessary, that they were the emprerisorioe of the age. We think it would be superfius and derogatororary to add any further examples of the Atlas’ style of Sunday reading. The Despatch has one merit. It doce not meanly filch frem other papers, as the Courter and Times do, but is entirely composed of original matter, for which it pays. This is creditable and praiseworthy. We are far from thinking, however, that the origioul mattor is always as good as it might be; the articles entitled “Canadian History,” end “Ths Tron Duke,” have, in fuct, but few claims to the epithet; and we are totally at a loss to see ths point of the column of mis-spelling and bad gram- mar headed ‘*A Dutchman's Notings.”” This, and other tales we might mention, woald be cheap at any price. The theatrical criticism, too, is occasion- ally rich; for instance, Mr. Ulman, Madame Sontag’s manager, quarrelled with the musical man of the Despatch, and charged him with black mailing; aod the critic aforesaid, as in duty bound, rasps”’ Mme. 8., without, however, utterly destroying her pros- pects. He goes about it queerly enough—says “her voice is at once flexible and inflexible”— “there ia no light or shadow, or, rather. there is nothing but light and shadow;” and adds that her “ Rosina,” and “ Wie Nabte nur der Schlummer,” “were almost an insult to her audience.” May we often be #0 ineulted. The Despatch contains a vaet den] of reading; but were the piecos we have noted suppressed, and some good original matter, descrip- tive of the habite, manners, every-day life, virtues, vices, crimes, and frailties of the denizens of Gotham, eubstituted in their place, is would be more populer, without, however, exsctly eu standard of Sunday reading The Sunday Mercury is the most tpicy of the batch. We cannot in ewador say of it, whesit says of a book the editor hos heen rea: og, nemely:— that it is “only mildly euggonive of sunt” The editor has a philosophical way of alluding to these matters :— iting our For his part ho oonsiters Nature without apparcles and bas constantly before him the adage that Charta nom erubescit. The nature of the subject | volved in the public obloquy their report would | and fair dealing, requ're that this evil, engrafted on body for bim made ure of an observation once about children that the proclivity of the age soon coaverted into ap adage relative to the false economy of sparing the ‘rod’ amd ling the little individuals for whom rods teem en) to grow and for whose tiny jackets they seem charac! ically intemded. We, too, have faint recollection of Selomon and the rod; he says, if we mistake not, that it was peculiarly intended for the back of such people as the editor of the Times. The theatrical matter is as-amusing in its blunders and solecisms as the most racy of Lover’s Irish tales. There is, however, some- thing to be learnt from the Z¥mces. We know no more able advocate of quack medicines, and are vendering a public service, by drawing attention to what it says of the virtues of the Lucina Cordial, or Elixir of Love Such is the Sunday reading it offers its subsoribe: Ga.rHinisM IN CongREss.—The Special Commit- tee of the House of Representatives, charged with the investigation of the Gardiner claim, and of Secretary Corwin’s connection therewith, have at length com- pleted the business committed to them, and rendered their report, which we present to our readers, in ano- ther portion of our columns, this morning. In thi, they exonerate Mr Corwin from all culpability in the matter, though they stigmatize the claim itself as a fraud. This is rather a queer decision to arrive at, | and sufficiently paradoxical in its way, If Mr. | Corwin is entirely free from blame, and was not | cognizant of any evil intentions on the part of his client—all whose secrets he must be supposed to have known—then it follows that no fraud what_ ever bas been committed or attempted upon the | government. But when the investigating commit- tee explicitly charge the Gardiner claim as a fraud, then the rational consequence is inevitable that Secretary Corwin, who prosecuted that claim, must, in his capacity as counsel, have been aware of its fraudulency, and therefore a particeps criminis. Either Mr. Corwin is a culprit, or the Gardioer claim is.a legitimate and well founded one. There is no other alternative, and the decision which the Special Committee has arrived at is, thereforo, simply absurd. It is quite possible, however, that when they ex- press their conviction of the Gardiner claim being a fraud, they do not mean to intimate that there was originally no legal cause of action in, or no bonajide Joss sustained by the claimant, but rather that the super: positions tacked on since the commencement of the suit, for interest and imaginary damages, were in themselves fraudulent. None of these (al- phin claims, which have from time to time extracted large sums from the treasury, have been entirely devoid of foundation, however slight and flimsy that foundation might chance to be, and we cannot | suppose that the Gardiner claim has had its only basis in the brains of its soncocters. There must | be some substratum for itto rest upon, which would | protect it from the charge of being, in its origin and beginning, a fraud. But the committce, in their report, have shirked the real issue, and left it completely untouched. The one point which over all others interested the conn- try, was as to the propriety or impropriety of the | public representatives disposing of their influence in Cornelia was one fromthe (ount to a friend in New York, requesting bim to express the thanks of the Count’s family tor the ceremony which the Cubans io New York bad bad performed, commemorating the auni yerrary of the death of their relative, the late General Lopes, General &. married a sister of the Count ; and for this simple letter of thanks one brother ig im. mured im the More. while the other is confined in the dupgtess ef Cabana "Another result of this movement was the information obtained by the Captain-General that the bark Coilde Herold, which arrived from New York the same day that the Corvelia had departed for that port, had brought dogen+ of pistol- stowed in cider boxes, cannons hidden in cases of machinery. and, in fact, that she bad brought the long expected ammunition of the Creoles. The C. H, was immediat+ly discharged, and the sbip an1 wharf were crowded with carabineros. all ready to seize the coptraband «ms, which never appeared. [t turned out » bosx like that at Mariel, which resulted in the loss of the steam frigate Pizairo, ‘The pareengers evized on board the Cornelia and taken ashore, were dixpored of in the following manner :—The epgineer, Samuel Hearkness, is confined in jail for at- tempting to leave Havana without a paraport; the other, Sener Guzman who had a passport, is confined in a dun. & oat incommunicado, for carzying letters to parties in lew York. Musical. MADAME SONTAG’S SIXTH CONCERT. ‘The fair cantatrice, whose fume and transcendant abili- ties have produeed such an extraordinary sensation throughout the musical portion of this community, re- ceived last night the greatest triumph that ever crowned the efforts of any artiste here. Metropolitan Hall was not only erowded, but literally crammed. All the seats in the house, to the number of 3,300, were engaged at an early hour yesterday, and nearly a thousand steudie tickets were disposed of in the evening. We learn that £0 great was the anxiety to be present at her last concert, prices wer paid for reserved seats to the amount of eight dollars a ticket. But, after all. we are pleased to leara that this was not her last concert, as still another ie an- nounced to come off on Monday evening next, after which Madame Sontag goes to Philadelphia, where great prepa tions are being made to give her a most magnificent re ception. The jooncert last evening was well worthy °f the furore which it excited. It opened with the overture to “William Tell,’ which was executed ina atyle that drew down the rapturous applause of the house. me Boning repeated those gems which in ber previ- ous concerts. appenred to be more peculiarly pleasing to ber audiences—the delicious Swiss rong. the polka aria from le tre Nozze, the English ballad. * Home, Savet Home,’ ’ apd a duet with Badiali, from the “Barber of Se- ville’? Her audiance appeared even more than usually exraptared and aisposed to encore, in which they were on two or three occasions gratified. Bellinicame in. also, for his bare of the general enthusisem, and, as usual, Paul Julien, the youcg violinist, was superb. Sonteg must bave felt the public manifestation of tast evening to be the most flattering tribute that could pos- sibly have been paid to her merits as an artiste and her fame as a Woman. TELEGRAPHIC. THE PHILADELPHIA MUSICAL SOCIETIES AND MADAME BONTAG. Puravenemia, Oct. 8, 1852, It is understood thet our various musical socicties under the lead of the Musical Fund and Philharmonic Societies, including the Germanians, and other German societies, are getting up a grand reception for Madame Sontag, on Wednerday next. Steamboats have boon | chartered to go to meet her at Burlington, and escort her to the city, with music, all the way. MISS A. PATTI AT BALTIMORE. Batrimons, Oct. 8, 1852, Adeline Patti is creating considerable excitement in Beltimore—the tickets for her concert to morrow night have been all sold. the House and in the Senate, under the mask of being retained as private counsel to prosecute claims on the treaeury. This Ga)phinism is the real evil to be exposed and put an end to, and the special committee have only very lamely and ineffectually acquitted themeclves of their trust, when they avoid all reference to this delicate point. Of course, the reason of this shirking will be quite ebvi- ous and apparent to the public, who will very naturally and properly attribute it to the dread en tertained by the committee, lest, in denouncing this practice, themeelves or their friends might be in- entail. The interests and honor of the country, and the character of the administration for integrity the body politic, should be probed to the quick, cauterized, and utterly eradicated ; and since the | committee on the Gardiner claim have dodged this most important of the points submitted to them, the public has a right to place the seal of their dis- epprobation, derision and contempt on the un- meaning and contradictory report which has just emanated from that body. Such report is # mock- ery and delusion, a shisking of the point of real importance, and an insult to the good sense of the community. ’ TREATMENT OF PASSENGERS ON BoaRD THE Onto. —We have had sent to us ® communication from Dr. William Rabi, of Delaware county, Pennsylvania, @ passenger on board this vessel, enclosing a card relative to the treatment which the passengers received on their voyage from Aspinwall, on the Tethmus of Panama, to Norfolk in Virginia, with a request thet we will insert the same in our journal Wo comply with the request. We fully concur in the remark of Mr. Duleny, which is attachod to the card, that no blame is to be attributed to the cap tain or officers of the ship. They may have every wish and desire to promote the comfort and happi- ness of the passengers under their charge; but it does not reet with them. The company or owners of the veerel are alone in fault, for they have the power of regulating the amount of provisions, coals, and other eseentials for the voyage; and if, as is | etated in this instance, they exercise an unwise economy by not supplying their vessels with euffi- cient materials for the trip, it necessarily follows that all on board must suffer privation and hardship | gancy | 307, 849, 401 | ke Kings County Politics.
