Al tiiii time wo have but a few irorchi to say in regard to tiic Fjilmort maeting ktM ia the court bcust on Monday evening, to appoint del* cgates t-> the OUf Lin* Whig Convention to bo held sooo.in the city of Richmond. We were not present at the meeting, bat understand the attendance was quite rt-spectable in number*, but composed principally cf Know Nothings and Dctyxi ata, drawn together perhaps by- cu riosity.- The number actively participating in the meeting, was amalL One of the officers, we believe, is ? member of the K. N. party, and several of the delegates belong to the same or ganization, while one of them at least, is not now nor never was a Whig, but always acted with tint Democrat*, in fact, was a prominent member of that party in Ohio, and has not affil iated with the Whigs during the short time he has residgd in Virginia. We are very much mistaken if any zilch gauze-like trap as this, will succ?sd,in catching the Old Line Whigs. We want no better ovijence of the design of the meeting, than is presented in the fact that the resolution disapproving of the Black Republican nominee nil declared adopted without taking the negative vote,' and"only four or five gentle men voting in t"iu affirmative, which was about the number of regular Old Line AYhigs partici pcting in the meeting. This same resolution, we arc told, appears in print very much modi fied from the languaga in which it was read at the meeting. Had that meeting been composed, ps it 4h?ald havo been, entirely of Old Line Whigs, the resolution would have been adopted by a tfrianiaiona ?fotc, and no necessity would have existed for modifying its language for pub lication. Sims of the most prominent of the Old Lino Whigs In the city, did not know qf the meeting until after it was too late to attend, while others who have heretofore taken an active part in everything relating to tliat party, was not infor med of, much less consulted as to the meeting. It won't pass for an Old Line Whig meeting in tills community. CHAXCiE OF SCHEDULE. As will be seen from their advertisement in another column, the running time on the Ciu cin-at!, HVilmington, and Zanesville Railroad has been changed to hour* better suited to the ac .wmmodntion of the traveling public. \Vc are pleased to learn that this road is in excellent running order, and is increasing the amount of its business, both rs regards freights and pas sengers, ?;<! the judicious activity now display ?*1 by the gentlemen at the hea"ls of the differ ent departments, must terminate in beneficial results. The appointment of Mr. Baglcy was the bent that could be made to the general *u pcrintendency, and will increase the contidunce in the ultimate success of the Road. The freight department, at the east end of the Road, receives the personal superintendence of H. K. Smith, Esq., A geutleman of grett experi ence in railroad business, and every way quali fied to manage th'j business to the satisfaction of shippers and the profit of the Company. This route is a pleasant one to pass over to Cincinnati. Running, as it does through the very heart of the great agricultural district of Ohio, with a solid track and comfortable car?, t;-avelers have presented to them an opportunity to see r.nd judge of thosp natural resources which have, in a few years, raised that State from a wilderness, to tho third in population and wealth in the Union, and at the same time feeling that they have enjoyed a comfortable ride, over a good road, with agreeable officers. At Zanosville, for the benefit of passengers en this Road and the Central Ohio, has been established an eating house, under the manage ment of Messrs. Wait d Eiiis. \N e have sever rJlv times refreshed oursclf at this house, and as we were an entire stranger to every one in and about it, and paid for our meals, we can take the liberty of assuring our way-faring friends, tlial thoy will always find a table well supplied with the best the country affords, and ?vill be allowed plenty of time to cat it in, and en joy a "weed" afterwards.

Tlie Herald has from time to time callcd the attention of its readers to thu gigantic schemes of plunder which aro now concocting at Wash ington. It bas exposed tho method by which laws aro pro-sod through Congress, giving away millions of acres of the public lands to pi ivato corporation#; how they originate, how they are managnd in committee, and smuggled through the IJoufi At last wo have a response from tho right quarter. Virginia is aroused. Mr. X^etcher, a member of Congress from that State, has come to tho rescue, and his speech is wor thy 6T the closest attention and the highest praise. The public lands are the property of the peo ple; they form a vast domain out of which, as the country progresses, was to bo carved the cheap and fertile possessions of the industrious poor'- the homes of the emigrant and the asylum of tlia exile. But speculative cupidity is at work to defeat this noble policy, ro worthy of the republic and so favorable to humanity. Corporations for the construction of railways are rising up in every quarter where these lands lie, and, by an adroit luaiupulation. the most nefarious projects are carried on under tho sanction of Congress. It appeal*!, from the speech of Mr. Letcher, that the system is so well contrived that it is hardly possible to resist it. Bills reported by commit tees, giving away mjllions of acres, rarely, if ev er, pi in ted, are read lustily from the Clerk's desk, and passed bj the forco of the previous question, almost without notice. It is urged that the lands thu= given away to railway companies benefit the alternate sections which are reserved, and that the treasury is a gainer by tho process. So far from this, it is found in practice that tho land offices, upon any rise taking place, aro frequently closed, or if not, the speculators, who have obtained the grants, iusIi in and socure wliat is loft. For this they immediately domand tho largest prices, and the emigrant flnds himself unable to purchaso. In some of these'Congressional grants, it is true, a price is fiiod for those government lands which remain; hut it is an advance of one hundred per cent at the existing valuation. Verv strangely, too, the Terr men who havo always been guard ing the pnbiio lands as a public treasure, are now nv-teriously in favor of parting with them to build up monopolies a thousand times worse tfisn tho United Statos Bank ever was, and who at the aims tirno approve overy veto which de utrjytf an appropriation for the removal of ob structions in rivers navigated with equal free dom br all the States. Mr. Letcher exposes the eTects of thos? grants -ri$r?yrcest truth, and points to the disastrous consequences which will rusult and are already rcsultjax ?rctn the cnriching of these unscrupu Lafana pveJ ful corporations. Already tie Illinois CectraJ.M, beginning to ^hc.rfft-hfnJr Js tt? carrying of tlw mails i( besin3 to consult the interests of the towns it is building op at the expense of all other?. It is complained that Dubuque is beginning seriously to feel its influence exercised in favor of a rival town?bunkidi; and .with its immense resour cesftts numerous dependents, and its political } power, it aYeaidj men ices tie i;.d pmdeace of i the State government itself. ; We have seen something here at hone, of the ; power of these companies. We, too, kr.ow ? what is the strength of a Central Railroad pow ' er. at Albany, and in the halls of legislation.? We have seen our jrreat S3'Stem of canals en ' dansered byrailr-^d interest*, and w system of spoliation favored through the medium of con : tracts and enlargements, whenever railroad in I rtucrjce chose to widen iu own track or benefit i its favorites. The speech of Mr. Letcher exposes the reck-1 less and corrupt schemes which are now sweep- i | ir.g away the public lands; and we hope he will find himself supported and sustained in bis op-! {position by a Spartan band, who, though not; numerous, will, in a good cause, be triumphant i us they deserve to be. i From the Lcuisrilto CoarJer. ! A KENTUCKIAN IX NEW YORK. The Swindling of the Cattle Agen'? and Mer chant*?Tmpuient Rascality?H^no Specula tor* Jfanage Things in Gotham, <Cr.t &c. Messrs. Editors :?A day am one the cattle merchants at Albertson's, Forty Fourth street is, to a Granger from the BluegraRs country, somewhat a novelty, not because of the great amount of business transacted, for Fayette and Bourbon can do "53 much any sale day, hut in consequence of the unequaled and unprecedented rajicality of those to whom the Western drovers entrust the management of their business and the selling of their stock. I mean the sales men or commission merchants one and all?the entire fraternity. Yesterday was a great day for - the drovers* agents; 3,850 head of cattle were offered for sale, at least 1,800 more than was necessary to supply the demands of the city butchers, an excess of beef, which afforded a first rate excuse for the salesmen to dod^e be hind and with such a shield to defend their ras cility. They made the drovers bleed profusely at every pore. Xo drover can dispose of his stock here, un less he wholesales to a speculator, alias sales man, commission agent, and if ho does not sell to them he must pay $3 ]>cr head, and they will retail his stock to the buyers ami give him their cheek on one of the city banks far the full amount of the sales. So all a drover has to do, is to pay the salesman from 4 to 5 per cent, for swindling him, take his check to the b.uik and get it cashed, leave for home, and, whilst on his way calculating his losses, the honorable agent collects from the buyers. But such extortion ; does not even stop here, for, when fnore cattle are in market than the consumptive demani t.f the city requires, the. drover's agents, or commis sion merchant*, have their agents, and the dro ver stands by whilst his salesman sells his own stock indirectly to himself at a price below what had to he paid in the West, to be taken to the country to be kept until another market day, or sold during the week between the established sale days. It U the custom hore for a drover to put his stock in tho hands of agents for sale: and until those who drive stock to this market will meet together in convention and resolve to do their own trading, and sell their stock without theai:l of swindling salesmen, they had as well, or bet ter stay at houie and work for a shilling a day. There are but two reasons that western drovers ?rive for engaging the services of cattle brokers. One is that a great many of the butchers buy on a credit of one week; the other that those who pay cash at the sale-yards handle the notes of so many different banks that they (the drovers) do not know what is bankable and what is not? In the latter case, every drover who has not got sense enough to know current funds from shin plasters, had better stay at home and study a counterfeit detector, and when he has learned something about the currency ol New York, he can then come here and do his own trading and financiering without the aid of a set of swindlers. In the former case drovers had better agree to sell every day in the week than pay salesmen $3 per head to crcdit the butchers sis days.? butcher.* could then buv their cattle even' day fre<h from the sale yards, and not be compelled to lay in a.supply for a whole week atone time, subjecting themselves thereby to the expense of feeding and keeping their stock for several days, or what is worse, penning them at the slaughter house for a whole week, until the poor brutes are so near dead with hunger that they will cat each others' tails off. The prices paid yesterday were certainly not more than cents for the best Kentucky beef. A considerable number was left over anil sold to-day at figures fir below tho rates of yesterday. Iirovers retired to-day with long faces, and your correspondent took astroll over the city in search of something fur the readers of the Courier, which they will have iu due time from BALLOON. THE LATE TROUBLE AT THE QUEEN'S'LljVEE. The London Morning btar, of June 27, gives j the following correct version of the incident of which the London Times gives such an exagge rated account: We will now present ft sober record of what really did occur at her Majesty's levee on Wed- '? ncsJay. Mr. Dallas departed from the Aineri-! can Legation Ilouse to present himself before j the Queen in the most orthodox and full dress: suit, including s.vord by his side, white nccker-. chief, and fanci'ul hat He had received au-i thority from bis government to conform, in such j matters, entirely to the usages of this country; and he believed, in his own conscience, that it was wise anil respectful to the highest lady in England that such established ceremony should be observed. Ho was accompanied in his car riage by a gentleman of high military education and standing in the United States, who coveted the honor of being presented to the Queen, and the antecedent arrangement had been made for t his presentation in the diplomatic circle. This gentleman, known to ourselves as of the kind-f est and most gentle manners, and to whom the public have been indebted for information that > lias appeared in the correspondence department i of our journal, was; dressed, not as the Times represents in yellow vest and frock coat, but in | dress coat, white vest and military stock?justas, ho would have brcn had he presented himself to his commander-in-chief in his own country.? It did not occur to him or to the American Min ister that there could be any possible objection to such a suit, and both were most anxious to conform to every state-court requirement as a matter of duty as well as of form. However, the Master of the Ceremonies, Sir Edward (Just, perceived that tile American gentleman hadcoine ?ithout a cocked hat and sword, and with a mil itary cravat that could not have been white; and in the most courteous and forebeai ing way, he j made Mr. Dallas acquainted with the character of his instructions. Mr. Dallas with equal good feeling, and free from nil excitement, ob served that he could scarcely pass on to the the presence of the Queen and le ave his friend behind hiin, and it was immediately arranged tliat both should retire. There was no ill feel- . ing on either side, and no appearance of such a tiling. The American gentleman felt he had made a mistake in not properly inquiring into ; tnc nature of Court arrangements, and the Mas ter of the Ceremonies appeared to lie very much; frieved that his duty required him to interfere, be matter then came, vie have been told, to the ears of the Queen, and if it had been thought ad visable to have carried out her wish thci-a is no doubt that a sjtecial messenger wuuld have been dispatched to the American Embassy desiring j Mr. Dallas and his friend at once to appear before ' her Majesty, no matter in what attire, and re- j ceive from her own lips an expression ot regret' that the arrangements of tha I'alace should have inade it necessary for Sir Edward Cust to inter fere with their approach. To say that Mr. Dal las was in a pet or to dcclare that the English monarch was insulted, is only a piece of that laving abEu xlity w .ich such'an o gan as tl.e Tuna newspaper alone can perpetrate, and we should not think it our duty to take notice of it were it not from a deep aiid sincere conviction that the Timet helps greatly to form public opiu Ijii in England, and is regarded by the Ameri cans as an expression of English sentiment After all, the affair thus magnified iuto such serious prop&rtlonK, was a mere incident of the day involving; nothing beyond * little idla gossip at the clubs, and entirely meaningless, cxcoptas iudk&tien oS tiu? tprco of habit and custom. IOWA .LANDS. Iowa has fallen a prey to land speculatiors, , and though they may. not be able to strangle her [lpsin^Jrosperity, vet there can be little doubt uiat the prospect there is but 4 poor one forthc ; emigrant inner of limited resources. For years these same speculators were a dead drag upon the prosperity of Illinois. They seized upon the very bcsfclands everywhere, they prevented the growth of the most promising towns, and arc the dread of all the settlers at the West? From the frequent appearance of letters in the newspapers puffing up roads in Iowa, we sur mise that hundreds of t t?iu hi.T_*g 1 tfcer fiuge s burnt by the indiscriminate rush they liave ail made in that direction. They have, liowevcr, engrossed all the available land, .and thus are forcing emigrants to buy of them at five clollars an aerc that for which lh"y jwiid but one dollar and a quarter. Thousands, who will not sub mit to this, go to Minnesota, Nebraska and Kan sas. The interests of the State would thus have suffered seriously, had not Congress most op portunely relieve! Iowa by the bill granting lands in "aid of railways, as it had prevously re lieved Illinois of a similar incubus by a like remedy. The"other letter, to which we alluded above, is from Muscatine, Iowa, addressed to the Chi cago Democratic Press. It is all in a hopeful tone, but the following paragraph, taken in con nection with what we have just said, will con vey to the reader an idea that this letter is from some speculator who has been ''stuck." The writer says: "For at least a year the most desirable govern ment lands in'the St*.te have been taken up, nnU" settlers have generally preferred buying from second hands at a moderate advance over the minimum Government price, thereby getting the choicest selections at but little more than it wonld cost them to go back into the State rnd be at the trouble and expenditure of both time and money in making selection?, and entering them at the Land Office. Now large amounts of the most valuable lands, which have been located from one to five years, are for sole at al most all the principal points in the State, at rea sonable? price*, and we do not see that the pas sage of the "railroad grants" has advanced the price. Lands that have been for sale by agents, , individuals andrompanies have been advanced no mure than is natural from the settlement and "development of the country, and they are bought at prices that 110 settler can object t*?." Here is a palpable confession tlxat the specu lators have engrossed all the desirable lands in the State, and that emigrants can only buy from them! We have already "iven an idea of what kind of a "moderate advance*' is demanded.? This land speculation is fast becoming such an intolerable evil in Western States, that Congress will lie obliged to pass a law restricting the sales to actual*settlers. It is clear that by per mitting the speculators to engross all the devira 1 ble lands in Iowa the national treasury has been cheated of a large amount of revenue.? [?The same land which they bought for $1.25 per > acre would have brought $0 or $4 in the regu lar process of sale to bonalide settlers, the only [ difference being that it would not have sold so i ftst a? under the indue.ice of speculation. : Pkifr.
