NEW YORK HERALdT Mew York, Monday, July 7, 1845. T,XU Annexation? What I. the Prospect now f The popular feeling in Texas, in favor of annexa tion, has, at last, swept reaistlessly over every ob stacle. Every opposing influence has yielded be fore it. The subtle and crafty diplomacy of Eng land and France, so zealously and unweariedly ear ned out by their faithful agents, has thus far failed of its object. On the assembling of the Texan Congress, the treaty with Mexico was presented to both houses, and rejected by an unanimous vote. Immediately afterwards, the resolutions in favor of immediate annexation to the United States, in accordance wah the terms of the resolutions adopted by the rftional Legislature of this country, were in'ro uce , and acceded to with the same unanimity. The proclamation of President Jones, and the election of Deputies to the National Convention for the adop tion of a Constitution for the State of Texas, re- / ceived at the same time the authoritative sanction ! o ongress, and thus the whole measure has been settled definitely and forever by the will ofihe jieo- j p e, as expiessed through their representatives. At I th> sinie time resolutions were introduced relative lo the introduction of the l/nited States troops into i Texas, in further :nce of the annexatioifcesolutions, ! ami thus nothing now remains for the completion j of thls great measure, so vitally important to the progress and perpetuity of free go- I vernment on this great continent,' but the action i of the Convention, to whose hands has been com- ! muted tha work of preparing the State Constitu- ! t loo. Thus far, then, the pros|iect is bright and uncloud- ! ed But the difficulties which surround the final ' settlement of the great question, are bv no means al together removed. It still remains to be seen in what shape the opposing elements may present themselves. With the facts before us, we cannot elieve that the European powers, which have been employing with such persevering energy, agen cies to prevent annexation, will now desist from ali opposition. Again, is it to be suppos ed that Mexico will quietly submit to annexa tion, and at once succumb to the successful |>o licy of the United States with regard to this Texas question 7 By no means. The slightest glance at Present political condition of the Mexican republic, shows us that the bitter opposition made to the union of Texas with this confederacy, is be coming more intense every day. In August the Presidential election in Mexico takes place. There lire now three candidates in the field. Each is ap pealing to the sympathies and feelincs of the popu lar masses, and he undoubtedly will be successful who moi?t powerfully attracts, to his standard, the belligerent impulses of the |>eople, now so intensely awakened against the United States. Under whatever uuspicies, then, the administration ot Mexican aflairs may be conducted, whichever candidate may succeed, the warlike policy must ine vitably be adopted, and if immediate and direct hos tility to annexation be not resolved upon and at tempted, there is not any doubt that serious and de termined opposition will be made to the recognition Of the boundary line proposed by Texas and the Uni ted States. In that case, the intervention of England will m all probability present itself, and the result may be easily imagined. The question it will thus be seen, has lost none of its warlike character ? on the contrary, the pros pect of collision between the two countries is only rendered more probable and near. We have no fear however, for the issue. The destiny of this republic is apparent to every eye. Texas annexation must be consummated, and the immediate results of hat event may only precipitate the subjugation of t he whole continent, despite of all the opposing ef forts of the despotic dynasties of Europe. Well he people ofthis country are ready for anv thing that may turn up. If a R00d stand-up fight with -pl* al n I.- bruuuht about, so much the better The chances ?( .|.k. have by no means disappeared . tut wait a little. These are times in which mate rials for the hiMoriun of a century may be made in one day. Symptoms ok a Moral War . pon the Admin istrati on. ?During the period of Mr. Van Buren's recent visit to this city, an important meeting or as semblage of his leading friends and adherents took place at the house of a gentleman, who ranks amongst the disap|)ointed candidates for a great office here Mr. Van Buren attended in person. Silas Wright was also present, with -other men of note. It is impossible to exaggerate the extreme bitterness of feeling which begins to show itself amongst the Van Buren section of the democracy o this city, as contra-distinguished from the Marcy di?u* just getting into existence. They charge the I President with having falsified three-fourths of the promises lie made-with having played the hvpo crite-pretend in* friendship to the leaders, onlv for the purpose of worming out of their confiding and unsophisticated bosoms all their plans and designs, and then quietly nipping their projects in the bud ? and with discarding and cutting them off, for the purpose of forming a national cliqnt of his own, under the name of the Polk democracy, to control future events. In consequence of this meeting, we ?hall not be surprised to see some serious attempts, on the organization of Congress, to form a strong faction within the democratic party, opposed to Mr. Polk's administration, and to giving the printing of Congress to Ins organ. State Convention in Virginia. ? In the Stale Con vention of Virginia we mayexjiect to nee the intr? duction of many of those original ideHs anticipated an this region, in the meeting of the i>opular elements of reform and change. One of these will be some system for the gradual abolition of slavery. At the State Convention which created the present Consti tution of Virginia, there was a purpose to introduce the question of the abolition ot slavery, and it would nave been proposed by Western Virginia; but owing to an excitement occasioned by a negro massacre in Southampton, and the agitation of the subject by the abolitionists oi the North, who then began their movement, it ?u put down by a large vote. The present state of things in Virginia is very d liferent, and we should not be surprised to see such a thing attempted. Madame Castellan seems to occupy, in London, rhe place left varan' by the death of the lamented Malibran This is another instance of that not a 1 lttle singular (act, that the United States have ?u|> plied England with the higlust order of theatrical , and vocal talent. Malibran's powers were first de- , veloped b?>re Anderson, Miss Cushman, Castellan, ? re all examples ol the same thing. It would thus appear that x visit to the United States is the first ?tep, and most essential one, to the future success of all young artists. From the state of society here, ts freedom from old conventionalisms, genius at once obtains a just and true verdict from public opinion. Naval Intelligenc e ? We are informed by good authority that there must be some mistake in the .statements relative to the improper discipline on board the frigate Raritan, now at Rio. We are told by those who ought to know, that no ship on that station is in better condition, or whose crew *re more perfect in their condition and conduct. I'he Raritan is commanded by Captain ' Ireyory, well known in this city as a gentleman and an offi ce!. All letters per contra to this, which we have received from Rio must, therefore, have originated with |<ersonsat enmity in some way with Capt. (i. j-M'EAM Ships fkom Kngland. ? The Britannia and lireat Western are now on their passage from Li ver|*>ol The former sailed on the 4th, and the Western on the "ith instant. As they are about , in their speed, their new* will likely reach ihi? city ou tiie same day? the 17tb or Ukh instant >11 I I II I The Tariff axd the Currency? Important Movement.? From various ind cations, derived from members of the administration, and the organ of the government at Washington, it is now very clear that the whole influences that Mr. Polk can bring to bear upon next Congress, will be exerted .n favor of a modification of the present tariff, to what is called the revenue standard, and the esta blishment of the specie system in the financial action of the government, otherwise called the " Sub-Treasury." The great difficulty, in any attempt to modify the tariff, is to get three, four, five, or any other num ber of sensible men, to agree as to what is a just standard amongst such a multiplicity of details, af fecting so many articles of commerce, fetill, it is 1 possible that some general plan, founded on a com prehensive principle, may be presented by Mr. Se cretary Walker, and be submitted to Congress. ? But it is very doubtful whether Congress will adopt the plan proposed by him, without some remarkable modifications. There is less difficulty about the in troduction of the specie system, and serration en tire and complete of the government, in its financial action, from all the banks in the country. We con ceive these two measures as only parts of the same system, operating in a double capacity upon manutactures and manufacturing establish ments, commerce and agriculture, und the finunc'a' action of the government, so far as the currency is concerned. Vet these measures, in this combined system, will create probably as great an excitement in various quarters of the country, and among the various sections and cliques of the great parties, as any other question that has ngitated the country during the last five years. A certain portion of the whig party in the North are ultra in their tariff notions, and they will oppose every thing in the shape of modification. A certain portion of the same party in the South are equally ultra and reso lute in their free-trade views, and will be just as much the other way. In New EIngland, Western New York, and Pennsylvania, where numerous manufacturing establishments are in existence, con ducted by practical men, there will be less difficulty than with the rabid, ultra, President-making politi cians. Ii it were jiossible to get twenty or thirty planters of the various Southern States, possessed of common ,-<ense and discretion, with a similar number of the manufacturers and merchants of the Northern com mercial and manufacturing States, to meet together and agree upon some plan on the principles of reason and common sense, the question would be settled in a much more expeditious and satisfactory manner than we hope to see effected by Congress. But this legislation of practical intelligence and saga c.ty we cannot get. As soon, therefore, as this important question is thrown into Congress by the Executive, as it will be soon after the opening of the session, the various parties and cliquis and various aspirants for the succession with their friends in Congress, will immediately go to work and cut and carve and dig and shelve and mine and intrigue, and destroy all ho|>es of any pro per or judicious arrangement of a tariff", or financial system, which are among parts of the same general system. The strife on this subject will begin in a very few weeks We shall watch and pray ? analyze and discuss ? point out the merit or the folly of the views of all sections and parties. The subject is one that has been our constant study for nearly a quarter of a century. We possess more fact, data and information on these matters than any other newspaper establishment in the country, or than even the government itself, and we shall avail our self of all our resources, end endeavor to enlighten the country at the present important crisis of its in ternal policy. Highly Interesting prom South America. ? The fine barque Mary Chilton, Capt. Corning, arri ved yesterday from Rio.Janeiro, with papers of that city to the 2lith of May. Among the passengers on board the M. C. are Brigadier General G. H. De S. N. Plantagenet Har rison, of the Argentine Republic, at present second in command of the army of the Libertador Corrien tes against Rosas, and Brig. Gen. in the republics of Peru and Uruquay; and J. L. McNamee, Esq., of Rio de Janeiro. The frigate Raritan sailed from Rio on the 22d for Montevideo; the sloop of war Boston was a1 Montevideo; and tbe Cambridge was cruizing. The Army of Corrientes, consisting of tiOOO men, under the command of General Paz (who has been appointed director of the war against Rosas, and commander-in-chief) are encamped at Villcnuve, 33 leagues from Uruguay. Another division of the ar my, consisting of S00 Christians and 1000 Indians (Pampas) under the command of General Lopez, Governor of Santa Fe, arc encamped on the banks of the Parana. The campaign against Buenos Ayrcs is intended to be opened early in October, with an army of 10, 000, which is to be joined by a large force from Pa raguay. The dispute between the government of Paraguay and Corrientes, respecting the forty-eight vessels under the flag of Rosas, which were bound for Paraguay, and were seized by Mandaraiga, Gover nor of Corrientes, about eight months ago, has been settled in a friendly manner. The army of Corrientes possess 70, 000 horses, and about 5,000,000 of oxen. The army of Rosas is now in possession of the whole Republic of Uruguay, with the exception of Montevideo ? the entire force nnderthe command of General Riviera having been completely destroyed at the battle of Aroza de India Muerte, by the army under the command of General Orkezc. General Riviera escaped into the Brazils almost naked, hav ing been surprised while sleeping near the frontiers, three or four days after the battle. He is at present in Rio de Janeiro. Common Council ? Dog Law. ? Both Hoards will meet this evening. The streets arj in as bad a con dition as ever. The omnibus racing is still carried on with impunity, and nuisance upon nuisance is staring the Corporation in the face in all quarters of the city. Th> new dog law will doubt* less be taken up and acted upon this evening. The following proclamation, however, has been is sued, and we trust will have the desired effect:? (Panned May 14th, 1*39) The Mayor, Aldermen and Commonalty of the i ,'ity of New York, in Common Council convened, do ordain an follow! : Sec. I. No dog shall herealter be permitted to go abroad, in any ofthe streets. squares, lanes, alley*, or public placei of this city, without being properly muz /.led, or being led by a chain or string, under the penalty of ten dollar* for each offence, to be recovered against the owner, possessor, or person who harbored such dog, within three day* previous to the time ol mch dog being found *o going abroad ; and it shall be lawful for any per son whatsoever, to seize and kill any dog so running at large, without being muzzled, or ed by a chain or string. The above ought to be a sufficient warning to the owners of dogs to compel iheni to keep their animals tied up, In every quarter of the city, however, these animals are allowed to prowl about, to the manifest danger of the inhabitants. Return of Encke's Comet ? High School Ob servatory, Philadelphia, July 5th, 1845 ?We have ?ucceeded in obierring Kncke'i Comet this morning. It* place corresponds very well with Encke's Ephemeris published in No. ft34 of Schumacher's Astronomical No tices. It ii an extremely faint nebula, without tail. Its light is nearly that of a star of the eleventh magnitude. It could not be seen in the feet Uollonri Telescope, mounted as a finder of the Equatorial, and in theft feet Equatorial the wires in the field would only admit of the slightest illumination possible. Its present place among the stars is twenty-one seconds north, nnd thirty seconds of space east of that of Encke's Ephem?ris. Tins remarkable agreement between its predicted and observed places, is anothor triumph of the Berlin Astron omer and shows beyond reasonable doubt, the necessity of admitting, that the comet has this time experienced thn effect of the reflating medium, so ax to he hastened in it* return by the (isual quantity ol an hour and twenty minutes. E OTIS KENDALL. I'- H.

' This evening "Robert Le Dia blo" will be repeated, in which Miaa Julia Turnbull, who lias been especially engaged for the purpose, will t ike the part of "Helen." No doubt but that she will be greeted by a numerous and respectable audience. Castle Garden.? This establishment continues to draw numerous and respectable audiences. This ! evening the performances will be quite of a novel and varied character, and abounding in some beau tiful music and dancing. The whole to conclude with the "Carnival of Venice," in which Herr Cline will introduce his wonderful performances. There is no place in the city that can surpass this establish ment for coolness, pleasure, and umuseinent. Niblo's Garden.? To night the very popular and admirably produced magical spectacle of the " Seven Castles of the Passions" is to be again brought for ward for the especial benefit of the lovers of gor geous display, magical transformations, and beauti ful scenery. The music and dances are all so well designed and executed, and the cast embracing the strength of the company, that we anticipate for it another successful run. The Acrobat Family repeat their new performance, given on Saturday, (on the oc casion of their benefit,) with so much effect. The at tractions at Niblo's are always varying, and conse quently successful. Hannington's Diorama is exhibiting in Charleston with great success. The North American Circus Company are in Detroit. Harrington's Conflagration of Moscow, is exhi biting in Boston. i?tiekney's Equestrian Company o|>ened on the '26th nit. in St. Louis. HerrOtto Motty has been for sometime past la boring under s<;ve re indisposition. As soon as suffi ciently recovered, he will proceed to Havana. The iV O. Picayune says that Borghese. the cele brated Italian vocalist, with Tomasi, Caro/./.i, Candi, and others of the Italian troupr, aie going to Mexico, whore they have an engagement with the National theatre for four months, commencing in August. The " Campanologian Brothers," or band of Bell ringers, huvc returned to their native city, Albany, from their Western and Northern tour, where they have been successfully giving concerts that have been most fash ionably attended, w here they intend giving a concert in tho course of the coming week. The unrivnlled Taulioni is in London. She ar rived on the 4th ult. from Ostend, but had not made her appearance at the Italian Opera House. Miss Cusliinan had her benefit 16tli ult , at the Princess's theatre. She intended to go on a provincial engagement immediately after. Forrest, the tragedian, had returned from Ireland, and had been amusing himself in thegreat metropolis. He was about to take a tour of pleasure to the Highlands of Scotland, and afterwards commence a short engagement at the Theatre Royal, from whence he expects to goto Paris. ?Sporting Intelligence. Oris at Sport over the Beacon Colrsk, Hobo ken, To-Day. ? The Foot and Hurdle Race an nounced to come off over this Course on the 3d and 5th ina , but was postponed in consequence of the unfavorable state of the weather, will jiositively come off to-day, if the weather will at all permit when, no doubt, the attendance will be greater than ever, seeing that the proprietor has judiciously re duced his terms of admission to the second stand, it being now only fifty cents, instead of seventy five cents. The first piece of sport announced to come off 18 ? A Foot Race of five miles, for ft Purse of $400 ? $75 to I the second best, and $25 to the third best. To come oft"' at 3} o'clock. For ttfls race the following entries have been made : 1. Maj. Henry Stannard. 3. American Deer, or Wil liam Jackson, who has just arrived from F.ng gland for this race. 3. Long Mike. 4. F.dwardChenny. 5. Wm. Fowl. 8. Ambrose Jackson. 7. R, M. Hall. 8. Peter Hutcherson. 9. Igrace Katanchiate, the Iroquois Indian. 10. Welcn Bantam. 11. C. Dermond. 13. Wm. Barlow. Some doubt has been expressed that the "Ameri can Deer" would not go in this race, and that of the ten mile race on Wednesday, but we are authorized to say he will ? provided no untoward event takes j place ? go for both, and will take them if possible. ? ] Indeed, we do not know why it should be otherwise, J seeing that it can only be a little training for the ten mile race. The most recent betting was 100 to 40 on the Ame rican I >cer and Harlow against the field; 100 to GO on Barlow against any other, taken pretty freely ; | even between Barlow and the American Deer ; to -l against the Indian ; 2 and 3 to 1 against any | other. This will be succeeded by ? A Hurdle Race for a Purse of $40(1? $100 to the second horse ? third horse to receive back his entrance. The race to f>e 1] mile heats, four hurdles of four feet each to ] the mile. For this race the following entries have been made : Mr. C. Ducheany, of Montreal, enters b. gd. Hops. Barry Clark, from Santa Fe, enters d. g. gd. Snip. Oscar Sweatlmnd, late from Fort Gibson, enters ch. gd Niagara. (This horse is half-brother to Fashion.) A. Conover enters his horse. In this, some good fun, as well as sport, is antici pated. From the novelty of the sport little is doing xs respects betting. Hops is the favorite against the field; but as there are one or two others of whom re l>ort speaks favorably, it is freely taken. The would be knowing ones think that Mr. A. Conover's horse will take the hop out of his opponents; and others again think that the half-brother of Fashion will give a good account of himself and not disgrace his | blood. It may be seen by the advertisement, that accord ing to a recent law of the State of New Jersey, all persons breaking fences, tec., are guilty of felony, and may be treated accordingly. It is understood that the proprietors of the Beacon Course intend to enforce this law in every instance where attempts are made to break in upon the track : so that it may be well for a certain class of visiters to be on their guard. We are authorized to state that Major Champlin, of Rhode Island, who, it is stated, on Friday last performed a mile in Stonington, Conn., in the aston ishing time of four minutes nineteen seconds, can be accommodated with a customer lor $1,000 to ?10.000, by application in this city, and further par- 1 ticnlars known and money posted, at Mr. R. Smith's Park Row. The entries for the quarter of a mile foot hurdle race, and the two mile walking match, to come ofl on Wednesday next, after the great ten mile race, close this evening at Mr. R. Smith's, Park Row ; therefore, those who are desirous of so doing, had better take the opportunity at once. Diamond Coirse? Tuesday, June 21th. ? Jockey Club Purse, #200 ? Three mile heats?

In consequence of the immense amount of rain that had fallen lately, the track was very heavy, and few persons present. Mr Van Lef.k, the trainer of Peytona, is in Mo bile. He informs us that he left the "big mare," with the rest of Kirkman's stud, at Petersburg, Va , and that she was in fine order. He confirms the statement that Peytona was in " bad order " when she ran her last race atCamden, N .1 . and expresses his conviction that she will be found "not wanting" when called u|>on again.

This institution has now closed its exhibition for the season, and one or two remarks in review may be made with propriety. One of these applies to the character of the works, and on this topic we have to say, that little improvement has been ob servable in the pictures over those of former sea sons. This stationary state of the exhibition is a matter of regret, and totally at variance with the specific end and object of the association, which are by introducing to public notice, and awards of pre miums to excellence, to develop latent talent, en courage genius, and foster a true taste. To ac complish this, no person who reads the discourses of Sir Joshua Reynolds, and other standard writ ings on the Fine Arts, can overlook the essential importance of high models to the education of the artist. This admitted, the inference is obvious, that for the improvement of students at least, a few works of a high order of excellence would be of in finitely more service than the most extensive ac cumulations of mediocre or worthless pictures, such as compose the major part of those displayed every season by the Academy of Design. Another fault attributable to it is the mode of its management, which we are sorry to say does not betray liberality, or solicitude for the character of the body. Cliques are bad enough, and detestable under nny circumstances, but to allow their influ ence over an institution avowedly dedicated to one or more of the Fine Arts, smells of sacrilege. Whit do the "Council" then say to the charge against the composition of the body ? that it is made up of a co terie nl painters, to the exclusion of those who are not ? that they practice a system of favoritism, giv ing prominence often to wretched daubs, because the authors have influence with them, ana consign ing to neglect works of merit or of promise, for rea sons left known to themselves, and the sutlerers I irom their partiality. Ont e more, we reproach the Council of the Aca demy of Design with giving a sordid and grovelling character to their policy. They do not seem to be i aware that money making is not the object of the institution, or are ignorant of the truth that the gain of pence and the acquisition of taste and artistical skill, have no connection with ? no affinity for each other. Making money is not the end to be sought in these exhibitions, and yet there is goodgroundior blaming the managers for a departure Trom this truth. Instead of concocting narrow plans for gain, j it is the office of the managers to disburse all the funds they are able in patronising and encouraging merit without favor or partiality ; and one mode of doing -o would be the establishment of a Drawing School, which has been too long neglected. We want to see this Academy of Design with an " odor of nationality about it," and to have that it must not be narrow, sordid, or illiberal, but comprehensive in j its objects, simple in its operations, and elevated iu ' its motives ? then it will be what it professes to be, j an American Academy of Design. Western Political Literature. ? One ol the most amusing specimens of the political literature of the West we have ever seen, is furnished by Par son Brown low's letter to the voters of his district. Its naiveti and originality are remarkably striking. He comes to the |>oint at once, and tells us exactly what he feels and thinks. The letter is in fact equal to anything ever written by Shakespeare, Gtuthe, or nny of the great originals of the past. Here it is : To the Voters op the First Congressional District ok East Tennessee. hKLiow-CmzKNi Having been nominated for Con gress in this district, by a meeting of the Whigs at Oreen ville, during the late term of tho Circuit Court; and hav ing received various calls, by letter and from esteemed friends in person, in every portion ot this large district, to permit my name to be run for that important trust, I take this method of responding to all concerned. I have repeatedly said, both on the stump, and through the columns of my widely circulated paper, that I never would declare myself a candidate for any office within the gift of the people, as office was not my aim, but the good of my country. But the sovereign people, having met in their primary assemblies, without my knowledge or consent, and having declared me to be their candidate, and avowed their determination to vote for me at all ha/ uids, 1 am too much of,? patriot? to., warmly attached to (he interest of my country, to dccline serving them, to the best of my abilities, if elected, as I in all probability will he ! You may, then, one and all, consider me your candidate, ready and willing to serve you in the next Congress of the United States. K0ll0w.Citi7.ens, 1 have thought for several years, that public opinion would have to fix upon me, as the only man to revolutionize this distiict, and again restdro it to ihat honor and dignity it has forfeited, by permitting the black flag of locofocoism to wave in triumph over it; and although I have never complained, yet, I will not disguise the fact, that I considered public opinion alittle slow in its movements towards mi-. But better late than never. hi consenting to serve the people of this patriotic and enlightened district, in the next Congress of the United States, I wish to impress the minds of the free and inde pendent voters 'thereof, with the important fact that they are, one and all, brought under the strongest possible ob ligations to be at the polls, and vote for me. For you know, fellow citi/.ens, that my election cannot add any thing to my character and standing ? while I, will great ly adorn the office of a Representative in the American Congress ! The truth is, (think me not cgotistic) I am well and fajrjprably known, from the Lakes of Canada, to the (xuifof Mexico, and to Upper Missouri. And it may be, that the grsat Whig party in 1848, may find it necessary to run me for the 1'residency. Then, and in that case, provided I am forced out by public opinion, as at present, I am at their service ! Fellow Citizens? Being poor, and having to attend to my private concerns daily, 1 am proud to learn that you neit ex|iect or require mo to take the stump, or leave home, as this would greatly embarrass and de range my business. There is really no call for speeches or personal electioneering on mv part, as I am kaown to all who are entitled to vote. My abilities will not be disputed ; my personal appeirance is fair ; and my man ners are hard to beat ! In a word, if elected, as I certain ly ought to be, I promise to introduce a new state of things entirely into the American House of Representa tives. I will not remain "little and unknown" there, like my "illustrious predecessors" have done, but 1 will create a storm there, long to be remembered ! Again : 1 wish to reform this District, in reference to electioneering. There is 110 sense in calling people out from their, harvesting, and their work, to hear so many long and uninteresting speeches. Let candidates write out their opinions, in circular form, and send them among the people, who can read them at their loisureof mornings and evenings. But this is expensive to the candidate, and this is the reason why they prefer riding about and sponging , eating the best, and teeding their horses 011 other people's grain. I shall be out again in a few weeks more, witn another circular, setting forth my principles. Meanwhile, 1 will remain at home, at work, eating my own bread and meat, as all genuine Republicans should do ! If elected, as I am told I will be, there will be peace, and a final cessation of all hostilities here, because I will then abandon my Kditorial pursuits forever, and de vote my time and talents to the interests of the jieople. In that event, too, "a consummation most devoutly to be wished for"1 ? I request all aged men, cripples and idiots, widows and orphans, who are entitled to Pensions, or whose Fathers and Husbands were entitled to receive thorn, to meet me at the Courts in each County in this District, before I go on to Washington, and 1 will arrange their papers, and procure them Tensions, and even bark pay, where they are entitled to it, as many are. 1 will l>a at the same trouble to serve Democrats that I wouid Whigs? and all without fee or reward, as I consider the eight dollars per day paid me by the Government, suf ficient to compensate me for thus serving my constit onts ! The Locofoco candidate, Mr. Johnson, hopes to suc ceed, because he is a Tailor, by trade, and of humble pretensions'.

True, he can urge that I am a man of more conscqtience in the world than he is, and that I am more extensively known and spoken of. by all parties, but it is because I am a more meritorious tnan, and more worthy ol public considera tion. And as a proof of what it is feared the People think, Johnson and his particular friends are now weary, ?nd evidently fear the result.' 1 will have them in greater trouble before the first of August.

The Missouri river ih at a stand below Wehton, and falling above fhat point. Tho Upper Mississippi is falling at (talena, and the river here has attained its height ; it was about at a stand yesterday, and will probably commence receding to-day. The river rose some two or three inches during the twenty-four hours up to last evening, and was nearly at a stand. It is over the c.ui bstone in front of Battle Row, and covers tho greater part of the Levee, tho full extent of Front street. The hosts from the Illinois river, report about an inch rise above Peoria, and the river very low. It is in good stage, however, below the mouth of the Sangamon. -St. f. out* Rep , June 27.

Some one gave him a caatigation, to tally uncalled for, and injured Tiiin in iuch a severe man ner that the blood flowed from hii head so profusely, as to stain the stairs and pavement.

She was re spcctalil v attired with black bonnet, black silk or merino dress, black silk gloves, half boots, and stockings to match. Verdict accordingly. Jin Unexpected Visitor. ? The inmates of the house, No. .59 East Broadway, were somewhat surprised this morn ing, with finding a little blue-eyed stranger, about five weeks old, on the front steps. It hud been left there during the night, with a recommendation to mercy ; but unfortunately the gentleman had several little responsi bilities of his own, and the new comer was, thorefore, sent to the Alms House.

The ferry boat Brooklyn, Cant Cole, when within about three hundred yards of tho dock, last ovoning, at about half past 7, run into a small boat containing fourboys, one of whom was instantly drowned. The captain was arrest ed, and was undergoing an examination when wc left the ottii'e. We presume it is all right, however, and the verdict will be, as is customary in similar cuses? "no blame attached to anybody." There seems to be a wan ton and reckless spirit afloat in this country in reference to life. From the Mississippi to tho Atlantic the commu nity arc victims to the carelessnes and inattention of steamboat captains, pilots, and engineers. Probable Manslaughter. ? Carman Nicholls was arrest ed, charged with kicking and brutally treating a servant S'rl in the family of Mr. Stimpson, 16 Markot street, by e name of Catharine Riley last December. The girl has been unwell ever since, and a coroner's inquest has been held, which decided that she would probably die from her wounds. Office ok the Chief ok Police, July H. ? The Five Points ? Gamblers in a Fix. ? The mysteries of the " Five Points" are as yet unwrittan, although the immortal Boz attempteil tho delineation of some of the principal fea tures. Very few of the well fed contented citizens of Uothain have the slightest idea ol the scenes of villainy, vice and fraud, which are hero hourly enacted. The ap pearance of the wretched hovels and filthy cellars, and their disgusting, ferocious, and degraded inmates, are things which have no place in the memory of the care less, fashionable, and wealthy inhabitant!! of this metro polis. They may easily learn, however, that? " There are more thiols in heaven and earth, Than are dream'tof in your philosophy." And it would be well for them and all humanity, if they would but learn and seek to remove this mountain of mi sery and crime, which, like an incubus, weighs down the prosperity and glory of this city. Laughable an-1 funny, too, are many of the scenes transpiring in this <iuartier. This morning a party of some twenty black fellows as sembled in the back room of a porter house at tho corner of Cross and Orange streets, when the leader, a dandy " gemman ob color," named Reuben Moore, produced a mysterious looking tin box and agreasy pack of cards, wnich he knowingly shuffled. "Now, gemman, 1 is ready to receive your bets," he exclaimed, and accord ingly the table was soon covered with piles of bills, sil ver and gold, and Mr. Moore proceeded to deal the game of Faro. Eager and anxious were the faces of the bet ters ? cunning and complacent that of tho dealer, as he hauled in the specio. A new deal was called for, and again was the table glittering with " rhino"? when a noise was heard? the door broken open, and Captain Mc GrathTwith his posse sprang into the room. Dismay and confusion were depicted on the faces of tho crowd. One brawny fellow jumped through a window, carry ing sash, glass and all with him, and upsetting nn old black woman with a newly made tumbler of whiskey punch. One little fat wooley head, iu following tuc example of his il lustrious friend, at another window, stuck fust? his capa cious paunch would neither allow his exit or entrance so there lie stuck, kicking for tho amusement of the crowd. The tables were overturned, money strewn about the floor, and six of the unfortunates were captur ed and conveyed to the Tombs. Ji Lady of Sentiment ? The sexton of St. Paul's Church upon opening the door this morning for the purpose of cleaning the premises, discovered a young lady en sconcod in one of the velvet cushioned pews, busily en gaged in reading Bulwer's moral and interesting novel of Ernost Maltravers. She was well dressed, and very beautiful, though a certain wildness in the expression of her large dark eye, betrayed her fondness for the senti mental and romantic ; and what could possibly bo more so than reading novels in a church by moonlight. She would give no account of herself, except that her name was Anu Grey, and was accordingly sent up for exami nation How at the Chatham Theatre. ? A flare up occurcd in the Chatham Theatre last night, which extended to the neighboring porter houses and grog shops. The Assis tant (.'apt , tith Distrct, in attempting to quell the row, was badly hurt by a blow from one of the rowdies. Movements of Traveller*.

Weleainby aLien tleman from New Castle, (Del.) that the people of that place are in a state of groat excitement. it appears that un the '20th ult , W. CI ase Barney, who has for some time been paying his addresses to the daughter of Chief Jus tice Booth, went to the house o( her father, and after some conversation with him? the old gentleman forbid liim again visiting the house. Barney then asked to see the young lady, and under pretence of carrying her lather's wishes into effect? induced her to go with him to Wilmington. Mr Barney, (who is a Roman Catholic) took her to tho Priest, for the purpose, as ho snid, of re moving some imputation on his character. The Priest went through some of his mummery, when a brother ol Barney told Miss Booth that she was married. The lady soon realized her situation. Barney wished to take ho r to his residence, hut she refused to accompany him, and cmanded of him to take her back to her father's house, .vhir.h was dene Thus matters remained until yester day week, when Barney went to Justice Booth, and de manded his daughter ? saying that she was his wife. This intelligence, as may well be supposed, greatly surprised Justice Booth, and on questioning Barney, he found out the name of the Priest who married them, and immedi ately summoned him to answer for violating the laws of the State in performing a marriage ceremony without a license. The Priest maintained h dogged silence, refu sing to answer any question put to him. As soon as the matter became bruited about, the citizens in and aho it New Castle, were highly incensed at the reprehensible conduct of the Priest, and yesterday matters assumed such a serious aspect, that the troops were ordered out to prevent an outbreak. The marriage, of course, is not a legal one. Miss Booth is a member of the Episcopal church, and heiress to considerable property.? / hiladel phi a Sun, Junr A. A New Firk LaddkIL ?

Sho* Business in Natick.? A correspondent of tic LounU Courier, writing from Natick, gives the following account it the snoe manufacturing in that own " From the Ut of April, 1844, to the lit of April, i *46, there were manufactured in this town #14, '100 pairs >f shoe* and 19, ISO pair* of boots, valued in all at anout >410,000. The number of male* employed, 677 ; number ?>f females, 416 ; making in all 1001 perioua? all of them, uowever, do not reside here. The amount paid for labor, 'hough not ascertained by the a**e?*ori, cannot be lean ihan $139,000; so distributed a* to make about $108,000 <-> the male*, and about $11,000 to the female*; being $139 average to all engaged, orabout $187 to each male and $49 to each female. Thi* braa.li of bu*ine*s,*econd to none in the State in importance or amount, ha* increa sed with great rapidity during the lait few year* in thi* place. In 1833, only four person*|were engaged as man ufacturer*; now nearly fifty are so engaged; then less than 70,000 pairs of boot* and shoe* were manufactured; now more than 610,000 pairs are manufactured. In 1830 and 1837, when the statistics were collected, about 160, 000 pail* of boot* and ihoes were manufactured, valued at ab.ut $100,000, and about 400 persons were engaged in the manufacture of them. The business was intro duced here about 1830; and so you see what has been done in the short space of fifteen years In 1830, our population was less than nine hundred, and in 1840, about thirteen hundred, and i* now supposed to be more than seventeen hundred." Morman Characteristics. ? The two Hodges have been found guilty of murder in Iowa, after a hard trial, aud were sentenced to be hung on the 16th of duly.

The influx of visitors Iroin the United States to Quebec and Montreal is thi* season very large. The lowering of tho ratos of travelling on Lake (Hiamplain, has occasioned the town of St. John* to overflow with itrangers. Under the di rection of the Commissioner of Customs, J. W. Duns combe, Esq., an improvement highly favoi able to com fort and expedition has been effected. A Custom House Officer i* put on board the steamer at Isle-aux-Noix, a:ul the examination of the passengers' luggage takes place on the route without any detention. This plan saves something like seventeen hours in time to the passenger;. ? Montreal Herald. Another Miiuder in phe Nauvoo Region.? The Warsaw (Ills.) Signal of the 25th inst. contains si letter from the editor, dated at Carthage, on tho 24th, from which it appears that Dr. Marshall of the latter place has been killed by M. D. Deming, the Sherilfof the county, in a scuttle. The difficulty grew out of a pur chase of a tract of laud at a tax sale Deming is in oustody. Two murders were committed in Hancock county on the 13d inst. Amusements. Park Theatre. ? This evening will be repeate I by the French company the magnificent op-nt of " Robert It Diable.'' Tho first night has been so success ful, tho play and the actors have been received with so much applause, that wo can foretell, without any diffi culty, an immense run to that admirable musical chef d'auvre of the great Meytrbeer. Tho beautiful sceneries of Mr. Devell, the , fine .singing of the artists and cho ruses, the seducing dancing of Miss Turnbull, all, are able to attract a numerous audience to the Park this evening ; and without any doubt the theatre will be crowded from the pit to the top. New York ami Krle Rail Road Company.? The address in the Herald of this morning, of K. Lord, F.sq. , President of the New York and Erie Rail Road Company, to the stockholders and creditors, requires from me some explana tion, which I shall give by a plain statement of certain facts, <o fnr as 1 am concerned as Treasurer. As to item 1st, "That there has been no action whatever of the Board of Directors on the subject of the payment of inter est," I can only say it was not my fau't. I have repeatedly and on all proper occasions stated my doubts to the Directors and others, as to our ability to pay the interest; but my hope and trust w at, to the last moment, that something would turn up to ena ble it to be done. It seems that it w as "justly expected from the Treasurer on the 1st iust." I know not why, except tint i Ind previously made large advances, and these 1 wiu not bound to continue when I saw great danger in doing it. 2d. "That the Treasurer has ample means in his hands be longing to the Company." Instead of this being the case, i was in advance $3,400 in Cash, and $1,6M Ofi in acceptances, ? the last not as Tre isurer, but individually, which, of course. I am bound to pay. ? md ill addition, I have negotiated a draft for $932 75, due 30th of August, for the payment of which I am individually liable. True, I am in possession ,of a large quan tity of Rail Road iron, in the coarse of transmission from Dun kirk and Corning to this city, none of which has arrived except what h is been sold, and the avails collected : a large propor tion is unsold, and it must take months before it can be con verted into cash or available funds to nay debts with; and when so converted, it will, according to the oA estimate I can make, fill short $2,836 37 of the amount of intereat now due anil the debts of the Company falling due within the next 60 days. I inay add, that the legal title to this iron is in ?myse'f, individn llly, it having been sold by the Sheriff, and bought by me. ? My sole object being, as I have always stated, t<> sell it on the best possible terms, convert it into cash, and after satisfying the judgments on which it was sold, and reimbursing the ex penses of freight. Sic., the w hole nett proceeds are to he appro priated by me, under the advice ef the Board of Directors, as may be judged most for the interest of the Road. 3rd. " That he gave me no notice of his intention to m.'et the payment." The fact is, I had formed no intention not to pay, until the morning of the 1st Jul,; ; on the contrary, I continued to iudulge the hope that something would turn up toeuable inn t.) pay. Strenuous exertions were m iking by three or four of Mr Lord's particular friends, or certainly by two of them, to induce him to resign, and had they been successful, the interest would certainly have been i?id. Mr. Lord admits that he knew previous to 4 o'clock, 1. M., on the 30th June, that the interest would probably not be paid, aril how much earlier lih knew it 1 cannot say. but it is certain he sent a gentleman to ine to enquire as to the fact, w ith whom 1 parted, after a free conversation on the subject, at about three o'clock, and he then went directly to the office, and must have made his report. There was still ample time to make tlie necessary provision; but the truth is, I was left entirely alone to raise the money and to pay, or to let the 1st July go by without paying ; and I chose 'he latter course, ns any man of ordinary prudence would have done. "Had be given me a few days, or even ona day's notice, I should have bad no difficulty in providing for the accruing liability." " One dny,"? the very time that he admits above that lie had ; ad if he could provide the necessary means with <i> little " difficulty," why did he not do it / " Knowing that_ lie lutd valuable assets under his control," See, The nature of tic assets is fully explained above, anil 1 admit that I could have raised the money ; but Wis it wise .' was it safe I was it prudent for me to do so J I thought not, and acted accor dingly. 4th. At a meeting of a portion of the Directors, " I under stood him to say that he assumed die eutire responsibility of the conrse lie had taken." What 1 stated was, that 1 acted on my own responsibility, and that there was no conspiracy, no understanding among the Directors, as stated in a morning riper, to bring " the affairs of the company to a crisis," in order to compel the President to resign. It is true I stated as my opinion that "the Company could not go oil [and meet its engagements] for any great length of time, with the preseut organization, and that is the very reason why I did not feel disposed to make advances. Mil and 6th. As these items of the card do not relate. to the financial matters of the Company, I shall leave the other direc tors to reply to tbetn or not, as they may deem proper. I will add, that every new engagement of the Company, since I have acted as Treasurer, hat been promptly met. This very day, by the advice of all the Directors I could tee, 1 have piiil a draft, accepted by the Secretary, which fell due at hank lor $JOO. Wc are not. and cannot be for many weeks, (I trust never,) under protest. All interest due np to January last, which has not yet been called for, w ill be paid on demand. \ ill tint we cannot now pay the interest due the l?t July, (Sin, 10(1) is owing to the unfortunate fact that the nett proceeds of the eastern division, of the road, which are pledged for that, i m pose, have sadly disappointed our expectations? the whole onount that has come into my hands in cash from that source, for the seven mouths ending th ? ? 30th June, being only $3,820 14. Then' haw, it is true, been lane outlays for repairs and im , roveinents on the road, new freight cars and other items, a portion of which is or may be, entered on my books, but tue ' ict of cath received is as I have stated" f I may fuither add, that I do not despair of the final success o i iie road. The efforts of Mr. I.ord or myself may not be able m build it ; but that it will be built by somebody 1 cannot ? I, >ii lit ; nor can I doubt that it will pay a splendid dividend to the stockholders whenever it shall be completed to Lake Erie. SILAS BROWN, Treasurer. New Yoak, 3rd July, 1015.
