It is, in fact, a great spontaneous move- ment, agitating nearly the whofe of Spanish America simultaneously, but without previous coneert. It springs from natural causes, and is controlled by natural laws, far above any rescript or allocution of hie Holiness, and may be curtly summed up as a rising of the peoples against the viee and degradation of the monastic and celibate system of the Roman Catholic clergy. It is only in this country that that chureh is not open to the strongest accusations of vice and immorality ; and on the only occasion where any portion of the Roman church here has ac- quired rule over members of the same ehurch ordained elsewhere, nearly every priest was sus- pended from the exercise of his functions. This occurred in Texas on its annexation to the United States. Years ago we have heard a pure and learned American clergyman of that church, who had travelled through some of the Spanish American countries, declare that he had hardly seen a parish priest who should not be suspended either for ignorance or immorality. In order to give the readers of the Heranp a general view of this movement which has so alarmed the Pope and awakened an impotent echo of the ancient thunders from the Vatican, we give a rapid sketch of its present position in the Spanish American republics, Mexico, under the lead of Gen. Comonfort and Senor Lerdo, has issued a law for the registra- tion of all the property of the church, and where ecclesiastics refuse to conform to its decree, hold- ers or occupants are allowed to denounce it to the State, and purchase it in fee at a moderate estimate of the value based on the rental. In op- poring this law the church has already lost much of its property, and more of its ancient hold upon the people; and, embarking in armed resistance to the government, has thus far experienced nothing but defeat, The people do not respond to their cry of “Religion and Rights.” A large portion of the present Mexican Congress, lately engaged upon the formation of a new constitution, was in favor of a complete separation of Church and State, and religious toleration; but the govern- ment at a critical moment threw its weight against the proposed article, and it was lost bya majority of two or three votes, Later advices from Mexico state that Senor Lerdo, the author of the new law in relation to church property, cited above has resigned his seat in the Cabinet of President Comonfort. This would seem to indicate a retrograde disposition on the part of the govern- ment, as Senor Lerdo is the great leader of the anti-Rome movement in Mexico. New Granada accomplished this revolution in & peaceful manner some years since. By the con- stitution of 1853 freedom of worship was guaran- teed, and the Church and State completely severed. The clergy have labored assiduously to obtain power there again, and have lately elected their candidate, Senor Ospina, who is half In- dian and whole Jesuit, to the Presidency. It i very doubtful, however, if they can regain their former privileges. A Presbyterian missionary Mr. Pratt, from this city, is now preaching in Bogota with some success. Presbyterianism i , however, ill calculated to take a strong hold of a people born and bred in the Church of Rome, and whose wish is not to change their religious dog- mas, but to get rid of a corrupt priesthood. If our Episcopal church would translate the Com- mon Prayer into Spanish, and send missionaries to South America, to read the service, and preach in the language of the people, they might per- form # great work. One or two eloquent men preaching in Spanish, might, under present favor- able circumstances, cause a religious revolution in at least one-half of South America. In Peru a new constitution has just been framed, by which the civil is made superior to the ecclesiastical power in all cases. The clergy have refused to take the oath to the new consti- tution, unless they are excepted from the new clauses bearing upon this point, and the question now stands in this position—the priesta having asked for delay until they can refer the matter to Rome. The revolution that has just broken out in that country may supersede for a time the agitation of this question. Chile is convulsed with the same phase of the dies have for rushing into a new sensation, by appearing at amateur concerts and private theat- ricals, It is a splendid thing for the music teachers and costumers, and does nobody any great harm. It keeps the minds of the young women employed, and isa good thing to fill up the spaces between disjointed flirtations. Cover. ed up with the mantle of charity, it passes cur- rent with good natured people, and we have no doubt that the fair performers often flatter them- selves into the belief that they are the most self- denying of philanthropists. Well, let it go. It is a harmless delusion. Ovr Poxice System.—Certain parties inte- rested against our present police establishment, are pushing their communications isto the daily journals, attempting to show that the noctur- nal garrote assaults and robberies, so numerous in the city of late, are chargeable to the negii- gence, inefficiency or cupidity of the police. On the contrary, we undertake to say that there never has been in New York a more active or ef- ficient police force than that which we have just now; but the difficulty lies in the limited number of the force. We have, all told, some eleven hundred policemen, or about the same number as in 1846, when the population of the city was not more than half that which now exists within the corporation. An addition of two thousand policemen to this disproportionate force of eleven hundred, would not be too muck, From the evidence adduced at the trials before the Court of Sessions, it is very clear that the police have been doing their duty to the extent of their means. What is more, we have secured a Judge for this court who is proving himself a Perfect model in his peculiar line of business. He hag already become the terror of rogues and rascals; and with a few additional decisive sentences like those which he has lately given, he will have done more to purge the city of Thugs and roffianiaem than all the policemen from New York to Buffalo could accomplish in a year. time which the Continental despots wou' a be likely to choose for the consummation ‘sf their schemes of jealoucy against England, Meanwhile, the March Conferenca w4ll be quite likely to reflect the sentiment, and ‘pyssibly some- thing more, ‘The News from Nicaragua-.What the Eng Msh Di¢,, By the steamehip James Adger, which arrived yesterday from Sen Juan de) Norte, we have re- ceived the details of the news brought to New Orleans by the Texas, and tranamitted by tele- graph to this city, and also two days’ later ad- vices from San Juan del Norte. The full particu- Jars will be found in another column, and they constitute, in some respects, the most interesting Bews received from any of the countries south ‘of us since the Mexican war. The exploits of Gen. Henningsen, with his small command, in the retreat from Granada, as detailed in his graphic report, give us a re- membrance of the exploits of the volunteer forces under Gens. Taylor and Scott, in Mexico; and the report does him honor. It is modest, concise, and has an air of truth. It is difficult to form any clear idea of the rela- tive position of the contending forces in Nicara- gua, but Walker’s position has evidently im- proved upon what it was in the beginning of December. The loss of the steamboats on the. Lake, and on San Juan river, is what militates most against our forming an ad- vantageous idea of his true situation. We cannot see how he lost both of the lake steamers, unless the forces employed against him on the part of Costa Rico are much larger than are re- ported. Weare inclined to believe this to be the case, from ihe extent of their operations and from the territory they occupy, and also because in the Costa Rican accounts which we published @ few days since, the force under Gencral Canas was stated to be the vanguard of the army. It is probable that President Mora is again in the field. Of the positions of General Balloso and Paredes we have no trustworthy advices, It is stated that the allies are quarzelling among them- selves, and that the cholera prevailed among them, which is probable, as they were encamped im the vicinity of Granada, where that disease prevailed among Henningsen’s men. The state- ment that the Leonese bad made @ movement in favor of Walker is reitersted. These were the former democrats of Nicaragua, which party in- vited Walker there. The fact that Henningsen was relieved on the 11th of December, and that at our latest dates—the 29th—the allies had made no movement against Walker at Rivas, indicates @ want of that activity that marked their early operations on Managua and Massaya. General Canas had fallen back into Costa Rica, instead of uniting bis forces with those of the allies, We infer that Walker is a; Rivas, that his men are in good spirits, and all sre confident of suc- cess, It bas been stated to 1s by a passenger that it was his intention to invade Costa Rica at once. If this is co he probably feels safe from any at- tack by the allies north of him. A critical reading ef the protestsand accounts from San Juan del Norte does not seem to us to warrant the accusation made against the British commander of interfering in favor of the Costa Ricans, It is stated that the agents at Punta Arenas of the Transit Company slept under the as- surance of the Eoglish commander that no fofces would be allowed to land on either side of the harbor; that is, at Greytown or at Punta Arenas, From the accounts we do not see that the Costa Ricans were allowed to land on either side, and certainly not at Punta Arenas, which otherwise they might have done, and taken possession ef or burnt the buildings there. Their operations at San Juan were confined to the taking of ‘our steamers lying at their usual anchorage in the river. Now, this place of anchorage is nealy a mile from the landing place, and they took :hem up the river. We are, therefore, inclined to be- lieve that it was the stand taken by the British commander with the Costa Ricans, in the same spirit that he exhibited in his interviews with Mr. Hutchinson, that preserved Punta Arenas to the Transit Company. On this point, however, it will be well to wait for full advices. On the whole, the news from Nicaragua is decided y fa- vorable to the filibusters, and we presume they will have a great blow out on the strength of it. Canixer Maxine Oxce Morr.—The politvians and spoils cliques at Washington, upon recver- ing from the first shock inflicted by the Lobhy Investigating Committee, have returned aguin vo “their muttons” of the Cabinet of Mr. Buchanan.

It would be an interesting subject of inquiry whether the Present conflict between the American and the Trish bishops of the Roman Catholie church in this country does not spring from similar causes. But our space is already exhausted. Tueatres anp Crrrios.— David,” said Mrs. Garrick to the elder Kean, “always wrote his own criticiems;” and from the days of Garrick down to the present writing, we shall find that a great many artista labor under the absurd idea that a bought notice, prepared for them and printed in some obscure sheet, is preferable to the freely expressed opinion of a sound and reliable critic in a journal of admitted influence and ele- vated standing. So far has this impression pre- vailed that certain actors have been stupid enough to employ persons to manage the press, and these agents have operated with more or less success in the rural districts. In the metropolis, however, the business has been confined to the obscure papers, and has been so far overdone that it is dying out altogether. It will only require a very short time to convince all parties that the money expended in preliminary puffs might better be thrown into the street. We will cite a case in point: An actress of marked ability—Miss Matilda Heron—is now playing at Wallack’s theatre. She has created a great sen- sation among the metropolitan play-goers. Her advent was preceded by the publication of a stupid “biography,” written in the vilest Eaglisb, and fuleome puffs purporting to emanate from Southern and Western journals. The public, which had been humbugged in this manner too often, looked suspiciously on this flourish pre- liminary—they suspected imposture—and only a moderate attendance greeted Miss Heron’s début. She achieved a veritable success. The leading morning journals reviewed her performance, all arriving at conclusions eminently favorable to her. She was talked of at every breakfast table in the metropolis; she was famous; a much larger audience witnessed her second appearance, and her ability was sufficiently great to overcome the unfavorable impression produced by the paid puffs which preceded her débul, Had Miss Heron simply relied upon the usual announcements, she would’have stood in a much better position with the public. The leading journals of New-York are ever ready to acknow- ledge talent, without regard to personal consi- derations, and they are often carried too far in their anxiety to render the full meed of praise where it is justly due. A new actress, or a new play, needs no advance notices, Curiosity will draw an audience for the first night. Upon the merit of the article depends its success after- ward. There is nothing so insulting as to at- tempt te manufacture public opinion in advance upon matters ef art. You have simply to say, here is something we have for sale—come and see it ; judge it dispassionately, for upon your ver- dict depends its life or death. Barnum initiated the advance puff system. And where is he now? His successors only totter in his footsteps—his magnificent impudence they cannot hope to imitate. We are glad to know that their oecupation is nearly gone, and that a healthier tone of criticism begins to prevail. Thecontrast between the Heronian articles and those upon the Academy délutante, Mrs. McMahon, is amusing—the extreme point of praise is reach- ed on the one hand, and the lowest depth of abuse is touched upon the other. Mrs. McMahon, how- ever, faints not. The critical lash has now no terrors for her. She continues her representations, and intends shortly to go to England and appeal to a London audience. The system of advertising adopted by Stra- kosch, cutting off all the papers of small circulation, has drawn down upon him some puffs over the left hand, but the animus that prompts them being apparent, they will do him good, so far as they have any effect at all. On the whole, we are at a loes to decide which affords the most amusement, the theatres or the critics. We incline to the latter; they are always odd and amusing, while the theatres are often stupid and dull. —_ Tue Nicorr Worsurrers Arrer tire Sports. —Some of the chiefs of the Seward nigger wor- shippers for a month past have been holding oc- casional pow-wows in the Astor House, concern- ing the rich resources of this great city for spoils and plunder operations at Albany.

Eccentricrtms oF Fasmroxantn Socrery,— The fashionable world has lately amused iteclf with another musical svirée, ostensibly for the poor, but really for the purpose of getting an insight into a patent medicine palace—drinking the champagne and eating the oysters of the proprictor thereof. On this occasion the cod- fish aristocracy fraternised with the sarsaparilla aristocracy, and the happiest results may be ex- pected from this fusion. It is as important as a ® union of the Bourbons and the Napoleon dy- nasty would be, Codfish has till now looked down with a sort of Faubourg Saint Germain dignity upon rarsapasiila, but sarsaparilla has the ca:h—oodfish generowaly relenta—rushes into sartaparilla's arms—eings to sarsaparilla, eats and drinks with sareaparilla, and in the handsomest manner takes sarsaparilia to the bosom of so- ciety. Sarasparilla ought to be proud of the honor. It costs good deal of money, but Iuxuries are alway expensive. Tt wasa Inxury.

The following is @ classification of the diseases, for many years, since the couclasion of peace, the press of England has, siucerely and honestly, done justice to thie couatry, and striven to win the good will of the people of the United Ftates. That there can be no sincere or abiding al- liance between the democratic clement in Great Britain and the pure despotisms of the Continent, euch as Russia, France, Spain, Austria, Turkey, and Naples, is too self-evident to require demon- stration. That the latter must some day find it imporsible mot only to love Enyland, but to tolerate her, seems also very probable.

This tnformation I have from Mr. ), & confidential friend of the President elest. it must be understond, however, that neither his name or mine shall be pod’ \ other conflicts to permit the church question to show itself yet. Venezuela, under the despotic tule of Monagas, and Central America, fighting with Walker, are the only free 3panish American countries where this question has not been agita- ted and the anti-Rame party come into power. In Cuba the Spanish government has initiated & counter policy. The Jesuits have been brought back, and are now being fostered and intrusted with the education of the Cuban youth; but in the hearta of the present generation there exists a strong latent feeling in sympathy with the ad- vancing movement in the rest of Spanish America. A plan for a similar movement in Mexico is en- tertained by Santa Anna and other ambitious calles from that country, but it is very doubtful if it can succeed. From this eketch it will be seen thata revola- tion is going on in the bovom of the Church of Reme in America, as yet not very striking in ite resulte, but which contains the seeds of « vast religions developement. The movement is not against the doctrinal dogmas of the church, but against the vice, the ambition and the corruption of the clergy.
