CAPTURE OF SANTA FE BY GEN. KEAR
NEY=RETREAT OF GOV. ARMUO TO
CHIHUAHUA. : :
Intelligence has been received at St. Louis,
from Sants Fe Augnst 15ih, confirming the cap
ture of Santa Fe by Gen Kearney, withoutbeing
obliged to fight for it. Gov. Armijo, with an ar
my said to have been 4000 strong, came out and
made a show of fight, but his soldiers refused to
commence an engagement, and the Governor in
continently fled to Cnihuahua,
Gen. Kearney immediately issned an address
to the Mexican soldiery and populace, proclaim
iug himsell Governor of New &"unco.wd raised
the American flag on the public ssations.
The pmoel‘nl officers of the government took
the oath of a k(f\lnce to the American govern
ment, and the administration of Gevernor Kear.
ney. commenced without molestation or further
delay.
A part of Gen. Kearney's forces were about to
leave for Califorma,
In addition 10 the foregoing, advices have been
received at Washington confirming the above
statement so far as the taking of Santa Fe by
Gen. Kearney is concurred ; but no official des-
Euche-.lnnounciu( the event,have been received
y the department at Washington.
The St. Louis Republican contains the diary
of an officer belonging to the expedition, in which
the occurrences of each day are noted. [lis ac
count of the capture is as follows :
Tuesday, Jug. 18.—Started as wsual, and at
six miles came to the Canon, where the Mexi
can army had been assembled. There had been
three thousand troops there, but it seems that
the nearer we approached them, the fewer they
became, and when we had passed through they
had all gone. The position they chose was
near the lower end, and it was one of great
strength.
The passage was not more than forty feet wide
—in front they had wade an obstruction with
timber, and beyond this, at 300 yards distance,
was an eminence in the road, on which their
cannon had been placed: and it was thought by
us that their position was equal to 5000 men.
We reached the hill which overlooks Santa
Feath P. N. Major Clark's artillery was put
into line,and the mounted troops anc infantry
were marched through the town to the Palace,
(as it is called) on the public square where the
general and his staff dismounted, and were re
cewved by the acting Governor and other digni
taries, and conducted to a large room.
The general stated, in a few words, the ob
ject of his visit,and gave assurances of safety
and protection to all unoffending citizens.
While this transpired the stars and etripes were
hoisted on the staff which is attached to the
Palace, by Major Swords, and, as soon as it waa
seen to wave above the buildings, it was hailed
by a national salute from the batteries of Cap
taine Fischer and Weightman, under the com
mand of Maj. Clark.
While the general was proclaiming the con
quest of New Mexico as a part of the United
States, the first gun was heard. “There,"” said
he, “my guns procluim that the flag of the U.
8. floats over this capital.” The people appeared
satisfied. The general slept in the palace, (we
Democrats must eall it the Governor's house.)
One company of dragoons was kept in the city
as o guard, and the business of the day was
ended.
Wednesday, Aug. 19.«-The general addressed
the whole people to-day more at length than he
had on other occasious, and took particular care
to give them the most positive assurances of
protection in their persons, property and reli
ion.
. Many families had fled on his approach, and
he told their friends to bring them back, and to
say to them that they would be more safe under
his administration than they had ever been. He
stated that, in taking possession of New Mexi
co, he claimed the whole of it for the United
States, without reterence to the Rio Grande.
He absolved them from their allegiance fo
Mexico and Gov. Armijo, and proclaimed him
self Governor of New Mexico,and claimed them
as citizens of the United States.
The acting Governor and alealdes then took
the oath of allegiance to the United States, and
the people, with a simultanecus shout, exclaimed
“Viva el General." 'l'he acting Governor then
addressed the people as follows :
“‘John Baptist Vigil, an alcalde, political and military
Governor pro. tem, of the department of New Mexico to
the inhabitants of Santa Fe, the capital thereof, greeting :
It having been vut of my power, by all the exertions that
I could put in practice, to calm the fears impressed on the
lutiabitanis by the desertion of Gen. Doa mnucl Armijo
and his soldiers, and what was most frightful, he having
made them conceive, on the approach of the military for
ces of the Government of the United States of &'urlh
America to the capital, the said forces were composed of
cruel and sanguinary savages, for which many families
have lefl their homes o hide themselves in the desert— be
lieving that no security, no protection of their livesor props
erty was 10 be expected from the commander of said
forces ; and in order to appease these fears I thought it
convewient and necessary to order to be set u.p in the most
public places the proclamation of the chief of said forces,
of which the following is the tenor.”
He then read the proclamation which Gen.
K. had sent among the Mexicans in advance.

PROBABILITY OF A BATTLE.
By the arrival of the steamer M'Kim from
Brazos Santiago, we have received accounts
from the Army to a late date. The Matamoros
Flag of the J2th contains the following impor
tant information received from Mr. Hicks, clerk
of the Big Hatchee which had just arrived from
Camargo : S
- Camarco, Sept. 8, 1846,
Mr. Editor :—1 hasten to inform you of the
arrival, post haste from Seralvo, of Capt. Mur
ray, with information that McCullough's Ran
gers had come into Gen. Worth's Camp at Se
ralvo, and reported that on the 4th inst., about
40 miles beyond Seralvo, they discovered a body
of Mexicans, forming the advance guard of a
large force. They retreated as the Rangers
came upon them, and were pursued until they
fell back on a larger force, which was discover
ed to be from 800 tv 1000 strong. It was the
geoeral iunpression that it was intended to at
tack Gen. Worth before reinforcements could
arrive, and Capt. Murray thinks that a battle is
being fought at Seralvo to-day, (the Sth). Capt.
Murray met Gen. Taylor, with a part of lis
force, some distance in advance of the main
body, and within 35 miles of Seralvo, on a
forced march to its reliet. It is positively as
serted that the Mexicans are determined to make
a strong resistance between Seralvo and Mon
terey. Ampudia and Arista are cooperating
with each other, and their forces are augment
ing fast—the Mexicans are rallying to their
standard from all quarters. The heat has retard
ed somewhat the progress of the troops which
left here with Gen 'l‘lylor, it being out of the
gue-tinn to march during the heat of the day.
‘he troops were in high spirits aad eager to
come up with the Mexicans. Two companies
of Rangers that were here, having their horses
shod, started off immediately after Capt. Mur
ray's arrival. All is quiet here. Proclamations
irom Santa Anna, Ampudia, and the Governor
of Tamaulipas, have been received in town, and
are haviug their effect upon the Mexicans. The
Proclamation of Ampudia makes the penalty
very severe upon !l who may furnish provi
#loDS, assiel in transporling provisions, or in
any wise aid the Americans. It prohibits them
frow boldivg any intercourse or carrying on
any trade with us. Death and a confiscation of
proper{ly, are the penalties for disobeying the or
der. These FProclamations have u{lo been re
ceived in Mier,and Heynoso. Nothing more of
importance.
The fdlowin(f order has Leen 'Publ'uhed n

Taylor. 1t is signed by E. R. Kane, 2d Dra
goons, commanding the post.
Cananco, Mexico, Sept. 10, 1846.
To all whom it may Concern
No Awmerican cilizen is allowed to locate in
Camargo, without a written permit from Gen.
Teaylor. No goods brought by steamboats or
mules will be allowed o remain—all such will
be seized and sent to the Quartermaster at the

my, will be suffered o stop at Camargo, without
a permit from Gen Taylor or the commandant

be brought ashore from steambosts, snd in as
cordance with the instructions, all persons not
connected with the Army, are required Lo Jeave

mweos, through the unwearied vigilance of Col.
Clarke, seconded by the active exertioas of able
oficers
FPreclamations from Ampudia, Arista and
others are being distributed throughout the de
partment of Tamaulipas. Those documents call
upon the Mexicans to rally around the standard
of their country, denouncing as traitors all who
have dealings with the Americans, threatening
them with tfle penalty of death, &e.
We take the following from the regular edi
tion of the Flag of the 12th instant :
In our last paper we stated the advance of
the Army onder General Worth, to be at Chi
na. It was at Seralvo, a small town about sixty
miles from Monterey. Further reports have
reached here as to the number of Mexican
troops in Monterey, which puts them at 2000,
with a heavy additional force on the march,
which it is said will be there before Gen. Taylor
can possmibly ariive. The whole foree with
which Gen. Taylor marches to Monterey will
not exceed 7000. The place is represented by
the Mexicans to be extremely well fortified, and
they are firmly of opinion that the Americans
will be whipped. We have had no intelligence
from General Taylor since he left Camargo.
He is no doubt, by this time, in Seralvo, and but
a few days can clapse before important news may
be looked for. Much the larger part of his force
has been left behind, which he will not move
forward unless the exigencies may demand it
The impossibility ot transporting provision, has,
no doubt, caused him to move forward a less
force than he otherwise would.
The M'Kim left Brazos on the 16th. She
brought up 250 sick volunteersand 5 or G wound
ed, of the U 8. regulars, at the battles of the
Sth and Oth May.
From Newfoundland —A dienstrons gale swept
the colony on the 19th, 20tk and 21st ult, caus.
ing immense destruction to hife and property.—
Among the buildings desiroved in the city of St
John's, was the Nutives Hall, which wasblown
down ut b o'clock in the afternoon, burving a
young woman and clild in the ruins; the former
is likely 1o recover. A brother and sister were
also iustantly killed by some fall timbers at the
sune place. Several others were more or less
hurt. Several bridges were carried away. One
boat with six or seven mcu on board, in trying
to make the harbor, was upeet andall in the boat
perished. Wrecks cover the waters and dead
bodies are continually being washed on shore.
It has been fouud impossible to form anyihing
like a correct estimate of the entire injury. ‘The
poor fishermen have sufiered severely in the loss
of boaws, fish and oil.
Mulitary Movements —Capt. Merchant’s eom
pany of United States Artillery, numbering about
90 men, arrived at New York on Thursday from
Newport, R. 1. "They are to proceed to Myexmo.
A Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald writes, under date of Thursday—

General Gaines) is to advance on Tampico with
all possible epeed, after the necessary provision
uhun have been made for that purpose. The na
val forces are, ata proper time, to unite their
strength, with those of lKe land, and thus insure
success. General Jesup, it is said, will leave the
city to-morrow morning for the South, to per

to be made for the new point of attack.

The U. 8. frigate Columbia, sloop of war Sara

S. M. left.
The Picayune of the 24th says—
“By every arrival from ihe Rio Grande we
anticipate mtelligence of a battle, and weé auv Dot
seck to conceal that onr heart beats quick at every
announcement which prowises luter news. We
do not wish to anticipate or to predicta defeat of
the America arms ; but we have a profound con
viction that Gen Tuaylor has deeply compromised
the results or those brilliant snccesses which fonr
months gince he schieved at Pabo A'to and Resa

Shocking Affair.~A child of two years of age,
belonging to Mr. Quinn of No. 12 Jay street,
was missed from home on Saturday, and notwith

ALGERINE EBULLITIONS —2
We alluded in our paper of the 30th ult. to the
outpourings of disappointed malice on the part
of the Rhode Island Algerines, whom the con-
firmation by the Senate of all the President's
“Dorrite” nominations has plunged into mortifi
cation. "The men whom they have seized, in
sulted, driven about, trampled upon in the law
less period of military despotisn, im prisoned, at
tempted 1o stigmatize as criminals and wroitors,
they have seen raised over their heads to the of
fices of the general government, and themselves
branded everywhere abroad as a mean, disorder
ly, vindictive party, unfit to associate with the
more respectable Whigs out of the State ; who
while they admire the principles of our Algerines,
are obliged to be silent, or to unite in consigning
them over to the universal deep-abiding scorn
and contempt of the patriotic portion of the com
munity. Hence these recent groans of the Al
gerines, ashamed of but not repenting of their
infamons course of conduct. Hence also (in
part) the rancorous effusions of their special or
gan, the Providence Journal,
The principal consolation of this corrnpt fac
tion, long since condemned and proscribed by
public opinion, is that a portion of the Suffrage
party have been inconsistent, and have, at a try.
ing period, fultered from their cauge ; though they
returned to it again, sincerely deplored their
short-comings, and have since adhered to it
through many vindictive persecutions. It is a
malicious fulsehood 1n the Journal, or any other
Algerine authority, to assert thit any person
nominated by the President for office in this
State, obtained his confirmation by repudiating
the principles of 1842, or any of them. If this
had been the case, or any pretence of it counld
have been set up, the Senator who assumed, Ly
the urgent solicitation of the Providence Alge
rines, the task of heading off and defeating these
nominations, would have been spared a some
what sorry (though fortunately private) exhibi
tion of himsell, und an outpouring of dry and
harmless maledictions agsinst the democrane
cause and wen of Rhode Island. If any wan
have been base enough to retract his opinions as
a Democrat, or to permit any such representa
tion to be made at Washington, for the sake of
being confirmed before the Scuate, let us have
his name and the proofs, in order that we may
assist in bestowing upon him the disgraceful no
toriety that attaches to a shameless recreant.
But in point of fact this pretence of the Jour.
nul that Suffrage men were placed on the stool
J of recantation in this manner is, as usnal, a false
and impudent counterfeit; for the facts are all
the other way. The Rhode Island cause of '42
“is fully understood, and generally sustained at
' Washington. The prineiples for which we con
tended are there taken for granted ; and the only
fault found is that the Suflrage men of Rhode
Island did not turn to, Tyler or no Tyler, and
drub the Algerines in '42, as they deserved. It
i no recommendation to a man at Washington
10 gainsay the'righifuluess of the People’s Con
;niunion, or 10 malign its supporters. Evena
portion of the Whigs, sniling with the cuirent,
are seen apparently coinciding with these doc
trines, and are heard deploring (Wit Muugum)
the littleness and meanness of the Rhode Island
section of the Algerine party. So that not even
a party division could be obtained of the Whigs
in the Senate against the Rhode Island nomina
tions ; and that of an unmistakable fighting-man
(Cowstock) who twice hud arms in his hands
against the Algerines, 18 very generally believed
to have been coufirmed by acelamation.
The Providence Transcript, in this instance,
does not suffer itself to be imposed upon by the
stupid falsehoods of the Journal, but asserts pre
cisely the opposite, the plain truth as itis, In a
recent article in the T'ranscript, which seems to
have drawn out the abilitics of Judge Pitman
himself, it is asserted that “'l'he Dorrites have
never admitted themselves to have been in error:
they have obstinately persisted in adhiering to
their destructive principles. The Herald is never
free from articies” &e. ‘I he Judge has, written
correctly, thongh under excitement. Our prin
ciples are destructive in the same sense that the
doctrines of righteousness are destructive when ‘
they kill the devil. The doctrines of '42 are de
structive of the false and atrocious Algerine here
sies of the same period, which this Judge assisted
to embody in the Algerine law; that willstone
about his neck, from which he would now sacri
fice so much to be disengaged.
~ The Providence Journal felt “particularly and
very counsiderably” nettled by these confirma
tions, having been deceitfully encouraged to be
lieve that the opposition was working well; and
‘that there was a fair prospect of the rejection of
the candidates. It accordingly ventured to lay
down a rule of action for the Senate, viz. that
none should be confirmed, who had not repented,
sworn allegiance, &c. Bat this slight hope was
blown away ; and the Journal, as has before hap
pened, became a laughing stock.
But it took a mounth for that organ to get up
any thing like a respectable rage on the subject;
and es its cflort at lust was apparently a paynelal
one, we iuler that the awds of the paper were
called upon, as usual in cases of emergency.
The ability ol a short paragraphist is one thing ;
and an attempt, under the editorial head of the
Journal.atcontinuousreascningisanother. This
prudent delay and conjoint preparation is there
fore quite commendable.
And yet, having so long noticed the ways of
the Journal, we conld not help smiling at “‘the
result of its parturient effort.”” There seems to
have heen a good deal of “vitriolic friction” about
the head and shoulders, to “erect the shaggy
pile, and to distend the saucer eyes,” in order to
produce a decided impression on the community !
But we have seen so often those long ears, and
#0 often heard that peculiar unmistakable tone of
voice, that we always feel tempted to take down
our old hickory, and to cudgel the pretender out
of the lion's skin.
The wholesone castigation applied by ue in
March last to the editor of the Journal, and some
of his assistants, with the inteution of reducing
them to something like decency, by a course of
discipline, was, we are happy to notice, attended
by a quite percepticle effect; though a sudden
reform of such hardened offenders is not to be
expected. Since March the editor of that paper
has repeated his old cuckoo catch about the “‘sov
erinnity” but once ! and then under the tempia
tion of a scarrilous article quoted from a New ‘
York paper. Quite a promise of amendwent !
Bat it onght to be borne in wind all the while,
by way of allowance, that the Journal is a sort of
machine of accommoadation, worked to order,
and that it attracts custom by not being over
scrupulons, This is an indifferent excuse; but
let it be taken for what it is worth.
We have already sufliciently noticed the gen
eral purport of the recent Algerine ebullitions in
the Journal ; bat we cannot help whispering into
the ear of the editor, how poor a scrvice ho is
rendering to his Algerine friends, when in at
tempting to vilify the Saffrage Democrats, he
provokes the recollection of the conrse pursned
by their enemies. T'he more these old Algerine
matters are stirred the more offensive they are.
Decency toward its (riends would dictate 1o the
organ entire silence, and a careflul omission of
every thing adapted to bring them out again to
public view. Butif the Algerines desire 1o have
their old iniquities reexamined, we are ready to
exhibit them,
Look, for instance, at the inconsistency of some
of the Algerine leaders. According to the Jour
nal logic, Sprague and others, who abandoned
us in 1842, and turned Algerines, were knaves;
and as they have ruled the Algerine party ever
since, what are we to think of the leaders and of
the party so led? What are we to think of an
Algerine party, which, afier having obtained by
the meanest and most cringing solicitations, the
aid of John Tyler to suppress our cause, and
having therehy divided und enfeebled the Suf
frage party, then turned round so valiantly and
threatened them with the sword !
Look at the backing and filling of these Alge
rines. Recur go the fuct that they stood ready to
surrender (notwithstanding Tyler's aid) if the
People's Legislature had shown a strong front!
Remember the torrents of low-lived abuse that
were showered upon the Sufirage party without
stint or scruple. Call np the outrages perpetrat
ed under martial law, when all law was set at de
fiance, and the ravages of an infuriated mob were
inflicted, at the dictation of private revenge, upon
the houses and families of democratic citizens,
Look at the officers of a literary institution, vio
lating the proprieties of their position, and out
raging the rights of their fellow citizens. Look
at the procession to Chepachet of the Algerine
forces; the prudent ha't on this side ; the well
timed movement and arrival 13 hours after the
Suffrage men were known to have departed ;
the threatened court martial upon a high officer
for bhanging back at Greenville; the assurance
doubly sure, that all was sufe, by the retarn of
the honest negro, who for 25 cents ventured up
the Hill to see whether there was any risk to the
white men in following ; at the subsequent scenes
of riot and inebriation, and the plunder of Che
pachet; at the mostcowardly act of brutality ever
perpetrated in this country in tying up citizens
with ropes and marching them to Providence to
grace an Algerine trinmph.
Look at the infamous treatment of Gov. Dorr.
Look at a long, black catalogue of enormities
practiced by the Algerine party in Rhode Island,
the particulars of which we cannot further pur
sue, and say whether this party so degraded, and
80 condemned, is in a condition 10 cast stones at
the Dewmoeracy. Ought it not rather to seek ob
scurity and oblivion, and to hide its head in the
dust!
We have not yet reached the Senatorial Ques
tion, but mean to soon.
‘ A mopest prorosition.—Messrs, Crittenden,
Clayton and other gentlemen, who set them
selves up as the principal directors of the Whig,
or Algerine, party of the Union, modestly re
quest the manufacturers 10 raise a panie, become
distressed, reduce the wages of the operatives,
knock down their own prices, desiwroy the mar
kets, make themselves insolvent and bankrupt,
and ruin their families—and for what? Why
werely to help the Whig party politics, and bring
the Whigs into power in the general govern.
ment. And then what? "These panic stricken,
self-ruined manufacturers to be put back again
where they were before? Notatall. T'he ta
rff of 1542 will then be reenacted ; and 4 new
set oF Mex will come forward and prosper un
derit! Truly a most modest request on the part
of the atuvesaid directors ! This ruining one self
grutis for a prospective benefit to some other
people, who have no better title to it than those
already concerned in manufactures, and to assist
two or three rotten trading politicians to mounnt
upon their heads, is rather too strong a draft up.
pon poor hmnan nature in its present falien con.
dition. It is worse than the importunity of the
Frenchman to run itin one leetel inch, to pay for
the trouble of heating the poker!
The Whigs at the last session, with the aid of
Jarnegan, might have had this tariff matter all in
their own way. DBut the leaders in the Senate

SiLas WrieHl —The democratic Convention
held at Syracuse on Thursday laat, with nearly
an unanimous voice nominated Siras WRIGHT
for re-election as Governor of New York, and
AvppisoNn GArDINER as Lieut. Governor. We an
ticipated this result in a late paper, when we
paid a small tribute to the character of Gov.
Wright, whose political career has given him a
strong hold in the affections of the democracy
throughout the land ; and we now take pleasure
in copying from the Pennsylvanian the following
paragraph from an extended, justly conceived
and ably written eulogium on this incorrnptible
staitesmian
With the loeal politics of our sister State we
have little 10 do—with the bickerings of her rival
oliticians less. The fame of SiLas Wrianr,
Kowevev. has long since ceused to be confined 1o
the marrow boundaries of a State, but has
become the rightful property of the whole
nation. To no man between l{;e Aroostook and
the Sabine does the Democracy owe a deeper
debt of gratitude. Not only is hie great name as
sociated with the pas history of New York, bat
itis imiumlcl{l blended with the brilliant trinmph
achieved by the Democracy of the Union in l!m
election of Pouk and Davias. Friends and foes
admit that his great popularity secured the victory
in New York, and the figures prove, that, without
victory there, defeat in the nation would have
been mevitable,

PAUPER EMIGRANTS FROM EUROPE.
An article in our last, from an exchange paper,
gives one instance and rather an extreme one,
out of many that might be adduced to show the
gross injustice of other nations in sending their
surplus panper population o this country for
support., This hus heen the case for many years,
and amongst the thousands of foreigners who
yearly arrive on our shores, ure hundreds who it
is believed are sent from poor houses, by thuse
who have the oversight of asyluws for paupers.
Provision is made by the anthorities of the pla.
ces from which they come to pay for their passa
ges, and then, on their arrival here, they are land.
ed at our wharves half starved, ragged, destitute
and rick, to be clothed, and received into onr
poor houses and hospitals, and supported for the
residue of their lives ont of the onerous taxes
levied for the snpport of our own poor.
This is an evil for which a remedy should be
devised. It is an abuse of that invitation, which
our nation, at its organization, extended to the
oppressed of all other nations, to domesticate
themselves in this asylum of freedom, and enjoy
with the native born the blessings of equal rights.
That invitation was not given to overseers of the
poor in every town in the kingdom of Great ‘
Britain and the European continent, 1o send 1o
onr hospitable shores the old and decrepid pau.
per, for whose comfort it was their duty to pro
vide, but it wus intended to lure the young, the
’emrrpri-ing. the active wechanie, agriculturist,
machinist and man of genius, who was oppres
sed with the burthen of unequal laws, to this
young and thriving land, where by the exertion
of his energies he might “grow with its growth,
and strengithen with its strength.” From the
date of that invitation the tide of emigration set
towards this country, and it has borue over its
thousands and tens of thousands of foreigners
who by theirskill, industry and prudence became ‘
valuable citizens, introducing much of that prac- |
tical application of science to the various useful !
arts here, which they had acquired in older nur- |
series of art in their own countries, giving an im- ’
pulse to enterprise, and exercising a healthlul |
influence over our infant manufacturing institu- ‘
Lons.
Such are the foreigners we wish to have come
amongst us, and such only can be benefitted by
changing their allegiance to become citizens of
this republie, for the pauper, whose wants are
provided for by law, can gain nothing by emi
gration, and may as well live in one country as
another. We presume that hittle blame can at
tach to the corps of paupers lately arrived, or to
those who have come in times past, for undoubt
edly their emigration was involuntary, and was.
accomplished mainly by the persusasion or com
pulsion of those who have their supervision, who
wished to remove the burthen of their support
and maintenance from their own community to
another one at such a distance that little danger
might be apprehended of their return. There
has been too much of such imposition practised
by foreign States on the prineipal cities of our
country, and it is time that measures were de
vised to correct the procedure. Until it shall
have become a subject for diplomacy and equita
bly arranged, the authorities here should if pos
sible compel the commander of the vessel bring
ing them here to return them to the place whence
he brought thew ; and if that be impracticable,
then for those aggrieved to fit ont a vessel and
send them howe as passengers, demanding a re
muneration for all expenses. We shall always
welcome such foreigners to our shores as come
to labor, to increase the wealth of our country,
to shed around the light of science, or with the
laudable ambition to acquire wealth or fame by
houorable employment, for they cannot fail 10
become valuable adopted eitizens; but we de
precate the meanness and assurance of those for
eign officers who have for years been in the dis
graceful practice of sending their sick paupers to
this country for support,
SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

The Caledonia arrived at Liverpool on the
13th Sept. 124 days from Boston ; and her arrival
produced an advance in the price of cotton, which
continued, with great activity in the market till
the day of the Hibernia’s departure. There was
an extraordinary demand on the 14th for 20,000
bales.
Accounts from all parts, and particalarly Ire.

T'he corn market had been less buoyant; but
there was an increased demand for corn, and the

Avans House.—A spacions hotel, of this name
has juat been opened in Boston by L. & W, T.

Lion taverns, well known hostelrive of olden
time, which performed their tour of duty 1o gen
erations that have past away, and where ** enter
tainment for mud and beast,” was for scores of
years provided for our departed progenitors and
their travelling companions. The Adams house
has just been completed at a cost of about seven
ty five thousand dollars, and furnished superbly
at the further cost of twenty five thousand. The
rooms are numerous, spacious und elegant, and
their furniture combines neatness, convenience
and richness ; and this (arnishing is not confined
to afew rooms for show, but is thorough, from
the basement to the lofty attic, which is finished
and furnished in a style that ** in every way suits
to the mansion below.” The spacious dining
hall in this palace of a hotel, will admit of tables
to accommodate about three hundred guests, and
“on Saturday week, an amateur company of visit
ors, by invitation, surrounded those tables, and
put their gastronomic powers in requisition to
test the charac'er of the culinary department,
and in so doing, without the fear of any panic
“before their eyes,” * removed the deposits” of
the rich and luscious articles that had been fur
nished by the conrteons and liberal proprietors
for the banquet, and declared that the Adams
house is, and of right ought to be, entitled 10 a
generous patronage. )
(57 The largest and richest diocese of the
’ episcopal church in thiscountry, that of New York
State, continues o present the spectacle of a
church withouta bishop. A diocesan convention
commenced in New York eity last week, when
amotion was made by the iriends of the suspend
ed bishop Onderdonk, for the payment of his
yearly salary of twenty five hundred dollars,
which was opposed, and a long discussion en
sued, which had not ended on the fourth day of
the session. There were many arguments ad
duced on both sides, but they were inuch stronger
on the opposition side than on the other. The
bishop, it will be recollected, was suspended for
immoral conduct, and if he cannot exercise th®
functions of a bishop, why should he be paid,
from the funds,that salary which was set apart ;or
onejwho could nnd would fuithfully do the duties of
the pastoral office, to all the churches in the dio
cese? It was held by some that the act of sus
pension was equivalent 1o deposition, and that he
hud virtually ceased to be a bishop, while others
maintained that he he!d the office by divine ap
pointment and could not be deposed by u conven
tion of men. The debate, from the rapid glance
which we gave to its report, was carried on with
calmness, the friends of the bishop, who are nu.
merous and sincere, indulging in no undue
warmth, while his opponents imade no ungener.
