MORNING HERALD. Tl'EHOATi ADUbIT 91, 183S. Mr *U ,? answer to the many kind and to when we ahall publish seme mere of Mr. Bennett ? rn.ere.ung letter, .nd .. to when he will return, wo can answer simply ihu. r-to the first-" when we get them,' -to the second-" when he .nixes ? the at. ? Our reader, and frienda will remember that the last advice from Mr. Bennett left him in Liver pool on the 21?t of July, (the date of hi. laat letter,) about to dine with Marahal Soult, and then to pro ceed immediately with that diatinguished veteran to Pans, there to celebrate the anniversary of the trot* yours. New, without ? doubt, Mr. Bennett both wrete and forwarded by the sailing packets severe other letters and leases of his Journal before he left England for Paria, winch we shall of course rcceiv and publish in due season. T* visit Paris and Lyons, and Marseilles, and Havre, and intermediate places, and to examine into the financial, commercia, and mercantile matters of the country, an co lect his statistics, wa presume would occupy him about a month, and he then would return to London about the 25th of August, which was last Satur day Of course he wrote and forwarded us also se veral letters from France, via Havre, which are all ROW on the Atlantic Ocean, coming to this country M fast as winds and waves can bring / '.em, and which we shall also reeeive and publish i f ?u course of time. Mr. Bennett would probably spend two weeks (after his second landing in England,) in the marufactunng districts, thus leaving him at liberty to embark for this country about the 8th of Sep tember, the time he fixed on for leaving, soon after first reaching England from this country. If the British Queen leaves Englana at that time, an he embarks in her, he will land in Nework about the time of the great eclipse of the sun. Some peo ple may say thai this would be a remarkable coinci dence, and a very powerfnl verification ef the old pro verb that two suns can't shine at the same time in the same hemisphere; but for our own part, we say nothing. If, however, on the other hand, Mr. Bennet adheres to his last expressed intention, and embarks for New York in one of onr splendid sailing pockets, ho will not gladden as with his presence till the be ginning of October. However, of one thing we feel certain, that this enlightened community duly ap preciate his exertions in Europe, and that come when he will, "His werth i* wmrranl for Ui? weleome hiiLer.

On sat urdiy morning a Mr. Mumford, a clerk in the office of J," Courier & Enquirer," called at this office in the absence of the editor, and in a way and manner rot usually employed by gentlemen, attempted prrtuadc our reporter that hi. statement was not cor rect. In . loud and swaggering tone he sa.d that the only " Mr. Mumford recently from England was his brother-that there could be no other Mr. Mum ford-that it was a baae attempt to cast a stigma up on his brother-that hi. brother had not been to the watch house, and that by G-d au watchmen could Hot tak ehi* brother to the wateh houae-and that the man who first ?et the report afljat would ha e to take-a licking.

We underrated the ex ertions of the enterprising young men forming tbia Company. They had nineteen lengths of hose at work on the fire tn Cherry street on Sunday morning in less than five minutes. Excellent. We do not single out this company, or thie solitary instance of exertion on the part of our Fire Department, aa though it were the only instance ef extreordinary exertion by its members that we ever saw. We have witnessed hundreds? or thousands. But we do go the whole figure for tbe principle, that "'tie just to give applause where 'tis deserved." We go oar death en that mot to. And if any of our frienda will at any time send os fscts relative to the intrepidity of our firemen, with out disparaging any particular company, we will al ways publish them; for a braver, mere enterprising, and mora disinterested set of young men than the New York Firemen, we challenge tbe balanceof the globe to produce. CoMM'm CorwcTL.- Both Boerds met last evening for the special purpose of taking into consideration the fi*tit:on of 210 inhabitants, interested in the open ing sf Anthony street. The Boardi decided to sus prnd the proeecdmgs in relation to tbe matter, for the prseent. We perceive that Mr. Charles H. Delavan, ef 42 Maiden Law, baa addreeaed a very excellent letter to the Araeneaa Institute, ef which he ia a vary valuable and enterprising member, en the subject of American Mannfactaree. We are delighted to see thie immense ly important matter taken up by so uaefal and peree vering a member of this commanitjr, althoogh it haa beea long and shamefully neglected. It ia impeeaible for the mind to carry eut all the advantagea that weuld accrue to thia great country, and particalarly to the city of New Ys>rk, by the encouragement of domea tie manufactures. Let any one look at onr files for laat October and November, containing the statistics of foreign and domestic manufactures. Let our think ing and philanthropic men reflect on the enormous amount of money paid to England annually for hard ware goods, (of which Mr. D. treats particularly and ingenioualy in his letter,) and then say if we ought not by every means in ear power, at any and every sacrifice, to encourage domestic manufactures. It is a topic on which the most eloquent might grow yet mare eloquent? it is a theme worthy the serious at tention and support of the philanthropist, tbeChria tian, the lover of his country. Why cannot we com pete with England in this, as we have successfully in very many other matters ? We hold out all sorts of encouragement to emigrants to come to this country; we ought to encourage the most ingenious artisans to come'? we should instruct our rising generation to be skilful in these matters, and we then might rival, nay excel, the balance of the world. As it is, how ever, we arc sadly behind ; and we cannot be too thankful to Mr. Delavan for bringing this matter un der the notice of the enterprising managers of that excellent society, the American Institute. Mr. D. shows by his letter, ? hich we here annex, that not only can we manufacture as good an article as Eng' land, but that we can do it for less money. From the Journal of tkt Jmrriean Imtitu't.

We do not single out this as a solitary instance in which we can excel the maaufacturea of England, for we know of many timilar instances, and we pub lished some last fall in our notices of the fairs, both of the American and Mechanics' Institute, and we shall do so again at their annual exhibitions, shortly about to commence. In the mean time, we call the undivided attention of every member of the commu nity to this matter? the beneficial results that will accrue from it exceed conception. No paina should be spared to patron:xe American manufactures ; ne one should buy foreign gooJs when they can, at any sacrifice, make ahiit with American goods.

We have followed and "cot toned" to thie institute from the firat jump, for ita en deavors and objecta are aa laudable and philanthro pic as can wall be imagined. All itaoJBcers act gra tuitously, and very heavy are their duties; yet they bear one anotker'a burthena and murmur not. In ad dition to what they have already accomplished, they intend to topport a achool for children, with the funds obtained from the exhibitions of this and fctureyenra. Who :a there then in this city that will hesitate a mo ment to contribute their mite on the occaaion, when they can derive so much inatructien, amusement and aclid aatiaiaetion from so small an ou'lay, and have the inexpreaaible sauafaction of knowing further, that tbeir money will be appropriated to ao righteous and godlike a cause.

The student* of Oasensvia Col lege, N. IT., have sent a modest request for us to send tham the Herald free of charge. They allege aa a reason that they " have opened a reading room upon republican principles." Now we wish to tell these atudenta that the true charactsnstics of ? republican are modesty and independence? to ask for no thing as a favor that they cannot claim aa their right? and then to demand it as a right and not aa a favors and aecondly, that a true republican never bnrthena a stranger with the expense of preliminary measures taken to benefit only the applicant.

Not many weeks since, I was one of a large number i Pa??en$er8 ?"? board ths steamer Champlam. ploughing its rapid and majestic way Irom Albany iQ XNew T 01 k. After the cer? monies of the morning re past were concluded, Itauug the cabin, and oeat ng myself in a somewhat retired situation, 1 wss amused with looking at the human beings congregating the uecK of that commodious vessel. Presently my st tendon was arrested by a group near th* saloon, con sisting of a venerable looking gentlemsn sitting by the Hide of a lady whom I supposed to be his wife ? and just at hana two beautiful girls not yet out of their ttens, if I judged correctly, the daughters of the first mentioned paruea, to speak soinrwhut legally.? I hey were gaily entertaining each other and their pa rents with a conversation, which, from its apparent interest, coming as it did from pretty mouth*, wreath ed wilh smiles and bruathvd la the tones of woman's melody, made me long to be nearer, thst it might ; into wiy auricular organs, and stir up uie sensi bilities of n soul always moved by theuccentsof love lincss. They were from the male of Georgia, s-> journing at the north for health and pleasure. The younger of the girls particul rly attracted my gaze, and as she is the one of whom 1 write, allow me to speak pointedly of so interesting a creature. I sttove? wh ch is not usual with me? to read her mind and heart as soon as my eyes rested upon her. 1 know not why? but thus it was. Generally in look ing at a handsome woman, my thoughts lor a long while are only occupied by symmetry of featu.e ? the color, formation and expression of the eye? the soft ness, sweetness, and curvings of ths ruby lip ? the grace and beauty of ihc figure ? or some such corpo real thing or things. Bat ir. this ease, while 1 took a rapid glance of passing admiration at the counte nance, and person, anH dress? for, irind ye, dress ne ver escapes the notice of any of us, aye, the particular notice, too,? I pushed my inquiries instantly beyond these externals, far down into that girlish luart, and looked through that unroffled and stainless brow into those cells in whi'-U young feminine intellect was concealed and confined more closely than ever was poor Dodge, the handsome patriot yoii'h who lost an eye last winter in an engagement, and has lately ex pired of brain fever in a loathsome prison house of Low?r Canada. Sad and melancholy fan-! 1 think 1 read correctly, lor with such readings I am not unfamiliar; and my first impressions have been confirmed by subsequent events and knowledije. 1 read in that thoughtful brow and countenance? in that cast of head, a mind of ordinary natural powers, yet highly cultivated and refined by education. An intellect capable of fuliy appreciating the pure, the sol.d, the beautiful and the excellent in nature and her racc? rapid in its evolutions? quick in its perceptions fair in its opinions ? and somewhat haughty m its pretens ons. 1 reau in those lips of ambrosial sweetness ? I say ambrosial sweetness, lor although I never had the ex treme felicity of tasting their honied, peachy luscious ness, yet I saw how sweet they were, and imagined I was gently stealing a kiss from their delicious nectar, ? I read m those lips, which, with ail their sweetness, were very expressive, a promptitude and decision of character ? a proud and high toned spirit ? a quick and imperious temper, which the mildness of the rich b'ack eye told me was as suddenly quelled and silen ced by good sense and affection,, as it could be raised int? fury by neglect, insult, fancied or real injuries When those lips relaxed their tension, as her eyea with filial looks were fixed on that lather proudly ga zing on the daughier of his pride and love, 1 could not fail to read a delicacy and purity of feeling? a warmth and fervor of emotion? a true and tender heart to in dulge whose impulses she would readily fling aside all other considerations, and devote her days with wo man's worship, to thefortonate man who should wed this Georgian angel? this dark eyed girl of southern birth, and residence, snd dime. I will not tarry to portray her personal charms? still she waa beautiful to gaze upon. An near or two elapsed ? the fair sisters are seated near the side of the boat, engaged in observing the passengers, and indulging in remarks armng from j the objects and persons around ihem. Standing I ^?iite near them, i heard the yoangcr sister say ? "Mary, see thai fine looking young man walking alone between the wheel houses." My sitent on was directed to the youth by over hearing this remark, and I was instantly of opinion that his handsame countenance, noble port and gen ttemanly carnage, very naturally gained the notice of a young and susceptible girl, whose heart kad never yet given itself to another, but stood ready to bestow it upon some gallant fellow who might ehance to come up to her ideal of what her lover should be. There was marked on the lip of this young man an expression peculiar to its character, but which we of ten meet with in those whom the world calls well born? who have high and elevated notiona of man, and belong to families of proud and enviable standit^i. It was an expression indicative at manly and inuepeu dent thought? of aelf respect and disdain for every thing gruelling? at the same time not excluding, but rather favoring the idea that kindaess and amenity of feeling, coalesced with a nature most unyielding. I will not describe him further, for this it wsothat mast struck me, and will peihsps give the reader as correct an idea of him as could posaibl) be derived from any lengthy detail of his mind, heart and person. Some distinguishing manifestation of the lips or eyes oftentimes combines so much in itaslf as to af ford tbe best clue to a person's qualities snd charac ter. Seine one single expression? nay, even a pecu liar motion or turn of the head in a lady, has often excited more interest, and gone farther m gain admi ration, at leaat from me, titan all the other charms she may have possessed. In glancing among the passengers I perceived that his eve often turned in the direction of the sisters, snd J>resurmd that he waa attracted by the younger one, or I thought her by far the moat atnking and inter eating in appearance, and net him down for a man of taate. Shortly he walkce towards them, and with graceful air occupied a vacant chair near the sisters, turning hi* look towards the ?hare, aa if atruck with aeme beautiful piece of nature'a acenery. I waa de termined to watch the movement of thinga, for I had ? presentiment toat somtthiag would come out of hit proximity to thou* fair girls. In a lew momenta the I yonngest, Mum W , by accident aolely, dropped a amelling bottle? that uaeful and delightful portable appendage to the olfactory protuberance of levely woman. Mr. T , the gentleman in aueation? who, by the bye, waa from th" "far weat" -ae zing with alacrity so good an epportunity of dtaplaying hia gallantry, and perhapa of going anil farther, gently picked ap the naaal restorative, and gracioualyhand it ta Miaa W , received her atniling acknowledg ment. Still looking at her with a mixture of gtntlrmmnly brati and humility, I heard him aay, " Beingaatran ger fram the weal, and alone in thia multitude, may I be allowed, ladiea, to transgreaa the atrict rule of eti quette, and be so fortunate aa to enjoy your acquaint' ance, and the pleasure of your cnnversatian, br the aid of the little incident that haajuat occurred V Mtaa W? ? replied with a bluah, and yet with freedom and gaiety, "We, of the aoath, air, alwaya take pleaaure in atriving to make atrangera comforta ble and happy " After thia. they of caurae found out aach others' namea, df fcc Ac.

Soon alter the clock struck four yesterday morn , ing, 1 was, with a number of others, aroused from our sweet repose by the melodious sound of some fe male voices.

Now, friend Beiraett, can Ringo give >ou any j thing from N- H. that will beat this 1 if so, I would be happy to have him inform you of it. We ha*e come beautiful young ladies here, but most of titrnt are very superstitious, which you knew is generally the case in this land of steady habits; but thank for tune there are some who are not afraid to aerenade the gentlemen at a very early hour in the morning. If you are disposed, will you please give this a no tice in your paper early next week, and let the good people of Gotham knew what can be dona on the banks of the Connecticut.

A poor woman named Mary Caaaidy, of 119 Mulberry street, called en ua yester day to say that her husband, Charlea Cassidy, aged 40 years, left home sick with fever and ague on Wed nesday last, aad has net since boon heard of by her. He was on his way to th? Dispensary, and had on a straw hat, a white roundabout, blue pants, and dark velvet vest.

The reception of this ex cellent actor, last night, waa mosi enthusiastic. The applause lasted for five minutes. The house was crowded to excess in ever? part. Power played with great spirit. The reat of the performers played moat miserably. Miss Cuahman, (an excellent actress,) instead of playing her part, played with it. Mrs. Chapman was tame; Plac.de looked and played as stiffly as if he had a poker down his back ; Gann looked nnd spoke like an overgrown butcher. Isher* Wood was beneath criticism? and the reat unworthy of the ink required to noticc them. There were 1500 dollars in the house.
