We had hoped that prior to issuing this sheet, something definite would have been received con- eerning the intentions of the Cuban authorities in sending out two veesels of war from Havana to head off the steamship Crescent City. This affair was the chief topic of conversation in the city yesterday. People naturally inquire, ‘if the object of the Captain-General was of a pacific nature, why did hhe cend out a steam frigate and a sloop-of- war to intercept the American mail steamer?” Had his Excellency been amicably disposed towards the Crescent City, it is hardly probable that he would have taken the trouble to have even ordered out one vessel, much less two, to make known the fact to | her officers. Oar advices from New Orleans are up to half past nine o’clock last evening, at which time nothing later had been received from Havana. The Crescent City is now over due at this port, and should she wot arrive, or be heard from before night, the apprehensions of the community will be aroused to the highest pitch. Later aecounts from Mexico declare that General Uraga bas openly pronounced against President Arista, and in favor of the return of Santa Anna to power. The storm cloud which has so long been pending, now scems ready to explode and hurl into ebaos the discordant elements composing that mi- werable republic. The democrats of Utiea had quite a jollification last night. After parading the principal streets in terchlight procession, they halted in front of the residence of Hon. Horatio Seymour, the Governor elect, by whom they were addressed. Ax election was yesterday held in the Louisville district, Kentucky, for a member of Congress, in place of Hon. Humphrey Marshall, who resigned for the purpose of accepting the mission to China. The $ndications arc that Mr. Preston, whig, is elected. ‘The official majority of General Pierce in Ohio is 16,634, being 219 votes more than the majority of General Case over General Taylor in 1848. The whigs of Boston in convention have, by the @asting vote of the Chairman, re-nominated their recently defeated twelve candidates for Representa- tives in the State Legislature. An opposition ticket | is looked for. Genvral Pierce has been invited by tho New Hamptire Legislature to accompany its members in theirattendance at the obsequies of Mr. Webster in Bosta, on the 30th inst. Two nen were awfuliy mutilated by the prema- | ture exphsion of a cannon during the preparations | fera torb-light procession of the democrats, at Bethleben, Pa., last evening. One of the vistims Jost both ams, and the other one arm. One passnger was severely, and several others were slighty injured by a cellieion between the ex- press ani mil trains on the Cincinnati and Spring- | field raikoad on Friday. Both lesomotives and two bagisgecars were completely smashed.

Two canal boston, named Charles Towner and Charles Bossheim: were arrested at New Hope, on the Delaware, on Iday night, on a charge of pass- ing counterfeit haljollars.

From the first hold- ing of the primary elections of the two great parties | whish divide the nation till the holding of the na- tional conventions of each, and from the nomins- tions then made of candidates to run in the great contest, till the final day of trial, and the victory is won by onesarty orthe other, the whole country is ina state of continually increasing agitation, like a troubled eea, and then suddenly the ferment subsides, and tranquillity reigns again. Tho election recently held is no exception to the rule. It istrue that some former contests for the chief magistracy have been marked with more ex- eitement on the part of the people at large, buat none with more bitterness on the part of the politi- cisne—thore etruggling to retain the loaves and fiehes, and those doing battle to get possession of the rpoils. No former Presidential election has been characterized by such malignant viruleace of the party press, or s0 much unseemly personal de- famation. Bat, though the battle has raged most fiercely between the office holders and the office- seekers, and the whig and demooratic partizan journals, still the people, more or less, entered into the spirit of the conflict, especially as the eventful day approached that decided the occupation of the White House, and the secure enjoyment of offives to the amount of $50,000,000 per annum for the next four years. There were, at least, one hundred expestants for every place to be filled, and theee ali worked like | beavers to contribute to the grand result, and ops- rated by evory ingenious devive to elect the man in whom were centered all their hopes. Every city and village and hamlet in the Union contained one or more of these aspirants, each of whom labored as if the whole election depended upon himself; and these men bad relatives aud friends and neighbors over whom they exercised influence directly or indirectly; while, on the other hand, those enjoying the‘‘feast of fat things,”’ er those whigs who expected to displace some of their own party brethren, inthe event of the, success of Scott, laid pipe in all directions, and moved keaven and earth and pandemonium, among their connections aud ramifications, to turn the scale of victory to their own side. The belligerents on both sides declared that the country would be ia immi- nent danger, and th&t the integrity of the Union itself would be imperilled, if their opponents were carried {riumphastly into place and power. The con- eequence was that nearly the whole population teok an interest in the result, and in many instances the strongest passions were aroused. The excitement was wrought up tothe highest pitch, and scarcely anything else was talked of for several days before the 2d of November but the great event that was to come off on that day. Bote were offered and aczept- ed in every circle. Men drank in bar-rooms who never drank before, and those who used to drink drank the more. Disputesran high. Hard words and sometimes harder blows were exchanged. At last the deeisive day came—the fight was fought—the race was run—the ballots were counted, and being transmitted by the telegraph from nearly ali points of the compass, next morning Pierce was proclaimed the winner by an overwhelming majority. Tho exact amount of that majority was not ascertained, but enough was known to make it certain on all hands that the democrats had it all their own way. Like magic the excitement calined down, leaving searcely a ripple on the surface. The beaten party cheerfully acquiesced in their defeat, and shook hands with the victors. The strife was forgotten, the events and incidents of the battle laughed over, and all becatne as good friends as if there had been no fight at all Even the politicians of the conquered party now admit that the country is safs, and, strange t) say, the whig office- holders asrert that in all the wide extent of the Union there is not another man who is better fitted to preside over the destinies of the nation than General Pierce, who is no longer a coward, or a drunkard, but a gallant soldier, a temperate, discreet, and gonerous man, and astates- man, well deserving of the high position to which he bas been chosen. Tho whig party press ackaow- ledge his talents and high qualifications for the office, and come of the journals make merry at the defeat of their own candidate. Good humor prevails on every side, except among a few sullen, snarling bigots, like the New York Tribune, who are desti- tute of that whole-hearted, buoyant spirit, so cha- racteristic of the American people. General Scott himeelf, who has most reason to be dissatisfied— having been made the innocent victim of the Seward, Weed, and Greeley clique—shows no sourness of temper, but bears his defoat witha magnanimity and a resignation worthy ofa brave soldier and a great general. We are informed that ever since he has been constant in his attention to the business of his office, civil, cheerful, and quiet, and appearing as if he had no more interest in the recent event than the plainest citizen. By sunrise eash morning | he takes his accustomed walk, and is seen exchang- ing salutions with the friends whom he encounters. | Weare further assured, by thore who appear to speak from authority, that when General Pierce comes to Washington he will receive from the old hero a grecting in the same spirit that he complimented him on the night of his nomination, and that he will cordially co-operate with the administration wherever his counsels or his active services may be required in carrying out the executive duties of the administration. And as for the great bedy of the whigs, they cherish no angry feeling whatever at the result, and are as ready te eustain a democratic gov- ernment in the maintenance of the national honor, in the preservation of law and order, and in the up: holding of the constitution, (‘the higher law” fao- tion alone excepted,) as if that government consist- ed of men of their own choice, and their own party had triumphed in the late election. Whence this extraordinary political phenomenon, never witnessed in the governments of the old world? Itarises partly from the nature of our free institutions—the general happiness and the equality enjoyed under their protection, and the consequent willingness of the sovereign people to support the laws, no matter by whom adminisetered—and partly from the superior intelligence of Americans, and the universal diffusion of education among all classes and conditions of the community. It is not the mere fact of the government being a republio— and that republic the best ever yet devised by hu- man wisdom—that generates these eonservatire qualitiesin the people; but it is the natural instinct of eelf preservation directed by intelligencothe practical judgment transmitted from thelr ancestors, and preserved by the common schools and the eheap newspapers, the great insteucters of the age. The Mexicans have adopted our federal eonstita- tion ag their medel, and copied it with a gross de- gree of ascuracy; but, though they borrowod the let- ter, they have never yet been able to croate the spirit and the sense which gavo it life, and Mexico is still weak and embarrassed, alternatoly the vio- tim of anareby and the slave of military dospotien. The constitution of tho United States, as has been well observed by an able writer, is like those ex quisite productions of human industry, which ensure wealth and wemown to their {nvontors ‘ut which are profitiess in any other hands ie French, from their impracticability, and the want of education among the masses, aro unit xt republican institutions, and it is question- ablewhvber any nation in Earope is as yet ripo for the vaplex form of government which has Proved 80 suoiveaful in the United States. From its very Dature it presupposes # high degree of intelli- gence in the Governed, for there is no physical Power in the possession of the executive to enforce an unwilling obedience. It is a system of compro- wiees—h Voluntary union, whose giief proud poasigys | buy the horee, and afterwards transfer his bargain ‘tn the mutual advantege of all parties to sustain it. This is the keystone of the arch, and the p2ople have the good sense to perceive it. What is i: to them whether there is » whig or a democrat ix tho chief magistrate’s chair! Unlike the struggics in the Old World, between the masses and tho privi- leged few, which are struggles for life and desth, they have no liberty to achieve or forfeit, no pros: perity to ecquire or lege, by the result of a Presidea- tisleleetion. All this hag been sottled long eince in the foundations of the republic, and hevce, no matter how great has been the heat of the contest, all speedily cool down when it is over, and unite heartand hand in the eupport of the Union, the con- stitution, and the laws. Thus, every four years, a bloodless revolution is accomplished in the United States, which is harn lees in its results, but attended with as much ex- citement 8 would produce in Earope ali the cala mities of anarchy, despotism and civil war. Tbe causes of the differonce arc—first, the high intelli- gence and uniform civilization of ths American peo ple; and, secondly, the sovereigaty being veated in themselves. The power of a President is tem- | porary, limited, ard subordinate The power of the people is permanent, absolu‘e and supreme. They have but little, therefore, to fear from the restricted influence ond circumscribed authority of one man, whose office is to do their will, not his own. Whatever may be the soaring aspirations of his guilty ambition, it is checked by barriers as insurmountable as thore which are presented by the rocky eoast to the ocvan. The constitution warns him, and tho people, upon the first attempt at en- croachment, would echo the warning in a voice of | thunder—'*So far shalt thou come but no further, and here shall thy proud waves be stayed.” Thas it is, that after the storm of a Presidential election ecmes a calm, and all is peaco and harmony, from | Maine to Texas, and frem sea to sea | The Cus fosities of City Crimes. Some people are fond of exclaiming against the depravity of the age. Weare frequntly reminded that the march of intellect which enlarges the mind of the philosopher sharpens the wits of the rogue also ; that while geology and chemistry are advan- cing with rapid strides, the noble art of picking pockets and plucking greenhorns is not at a atand still. Nomentanus, we are told, whose depredatioas among the clients of his patrons at the forum used to create such alarm, would have been actually de spised by our detective police; and the adroit Furio could not have succeeded in swindling the most ver- dant of our country burepkins. In short, if these philosophers are to be believed, science and learning advance towards perfectibility pari passu with thieving and duplicity—the gaol will be reached by both at the came time. Without offering an opinion on this ingonious theory, we cannot help thinking that it applies with | of mankind enlightened age was the most fruitful of credulous | intellects; that the marvellous discoveries which each day is bringing to light engenders a gereral proneness to believe all we hear. Ata period when | space and time are being annihilated, and servant maids call spirits fiom the vasty deep, he only, it would seem, is a fitting object of censure who affects incredulity at anything. e Some euch reflections must have been aroused by | the perusal of the swindling cases which have been | reported in the columns of this paper during the last An elderly gentleman, “‘ of high respecta bility” and moderate means, is engaged in admiring the front of some houses, when a man whom he never | \t would appear as though the most | saw before, but whose white cravat seems to have | been in the eyes of the elderly gentleman a sufficient | guarantee of his moral worth, steps up and volun- teers the announcement that one of the houses ix | question is about to become his. While the elderly gentleman is congratulating himself on his good | fortune in having made the acquaintance of #0 wealtby a man, the latter, somehow or other, en- geges in an altercation with a new comer about a horee, and the elderly gentleman, who sees nothing unnatural in the fact that a clergyman, (for such he takes the wearer of the white cravat to be,) should quarrel about a horse in the street, is immediately seized with a violent friendship for the two strangers, and sets to work in a most philanthropic mannar to endeavor to reconsile them. But the seller of the horee “has an aged father,” who will not consent | to part with the animal under such’ circumstances. and the soi-disant preacher at St. Paul’s is in despair. The elderly gentleman is much affected by the allu- | sion to the ‘aged father,” and his sympathies are deeply interested when he discovers that an oppor- tunity is offered him of obliging the benevolent pastor of St. Paul’s. An idea strikes him—he will to the parson. This will at once remove the scruples of the ‘aged father,” at least so says the proprietor | of the horse, for reasons best known to himself, and so devoutly and implicitly believes our elderly gen- tleman. Tho offer ia accepted, a check drawn, the parties shake hands, and—hey, presto!—parson and horse dealer both disappear. The horse is loft— a fine animal, after the manner of Cruikshank’s last | stage of the racer’s progress, worth to a business man some $50 or $60. The elderly gentleman had | paid $255. Now we put it to our readers whether a gentle- man, who voluntarily mcddles in the disputes of two men whom he never met before, and consents to act as a go-between, in order to effect the sale of a horse under such obviously suspicious circumstances, has any claim to our sympathy when he is cheated. Did it ever strike the elderly gentleman that the pastor of St Paul’s is not exactiy the style of man one meots | quarrellirg about a horse inthe stroet? Did he never ask himself how it came to pass that men of | the standing which these parties chose to astume, should confide thoir purse and their disputes to the keeping of a stranger like himself? Did he never inquire how the mere substitution of his name as | purchaser for that of him of the white cravat could | reeoncile ‘‘the aged father” to part with his favor- eongruities should have escaped the notice of any | one, much less ‘an elderly gentleman.” In another case, a shrewd trader from the country, as hard as a flint at a bargain, purchased some fifty or sixty dollars worth of goods at a mock austion. He chuckled whea they were knocked down to him, as he knew that the silk handkerchiefs for which he | S276 fifty conte wore worth at loset one dollar and | fifty cents, and the linen for which he paid ten | conts he could resell at forty cents. It never oo | curred to him that there was anything singular dry goods being sold in Broadway ut one third thoir | cost, or perbaps his native closeness led him to | fancy that he had ‘“‘dono” the auctioneer. While | ho was standing by, the auctioneer ‘‘troubled him” for the loan of fifteen dollars to give change tos custemer—it would bo “all right” in is bill. Our | sharp country storekeeper keeps bis eye on his purebase and forks out the dollars. No sooner was the money pecketed than his bill made its appear- ance; but alas! it was some $900 instead ef $60. Angry explanations load to tho discovery that he had altogether “‘misunderstood” the auctioneer, and aa new at liberty to to take the silk handkershiofs atone dollar and fifty-five cents or leave them. The fifteon dollars were obviously forfeited. This ence is clearly one of “the biter bit” Thero is another case, whish has made much noise, and fe not very dissimilar. ‘ho viotim, though obviously unconssious of the natural history ofthe Peter Funk tribe, did not eonfine himself to trying to make good bargains—his aim seoms to have been to realizo a handsome commission for buying and selling for others. On vbis principle, he buys a wateh at a mock auction shop fera man who was an utter stranger to him, on the strength of ® promise that the latter would give him ton dol- lars for his trouble. Ho is offered fifteen dollars for his own wateh, which he knovs is only w: or eight dollars, and jumps at the offer.

When ke had been cheated three or four times, in the most glaring manner, “be began to think he was impored upon,” and the impression was con- firmed by bis companion offering ‘to bet with him on the Ssbbath.” His apprehensions, however, did notetand in the way of hie enterprise.

It seems that the accused had in hi- possession @ bay horse in a gig, at the public house of George Noakes, situated at @ixiy-ninth | street and Third avenue. which he offered to sell. and wade a bet to drive his horse against the horse of Mr. Noakes to Harlem bridge and back, and if he (Mr. Noakes) won. he was to have the horse for $10; but if he (Noakes) lost. he was to pay $70 for the horse. The match was made and Mr Noakes made the best time and of courre won Mr. Noakes then paid the $10 and took the hore, and rhortly after gave the accused $5 for the gig, making in all $15 for the two, Irom the conduct of the accused, and the easy manner in which he parted with the property, Mr Noakes suspected that the hors2 and gig had been sto'en, and accordingly informed the police of the Nineteen:h ward. and officers McCarty and Fagin took the aceured into custody, and conveyed him to the station house, where. on searching his person, a number of pawn tickets of clothing pawned in this city and Bbiladelpbia were found Dvring yesterday, Mr. James W.
