The Oregon Qnotlon In a Vtw Shape.
We publish on the out.-adr of thin days' paper ;i
very interesting and amusing article, illustrative ct
the present position of the Oregon question, and
exhibiting in very felicitous language mime of lie
difficulties in the way of its settlement. Thechi't
obstacles appear to arise from the obstinate and ras
cally conduct of a certain notorious print, culled the
A" tw York Herald. This question hat> now assumed
a. more paramount importance than ever, in cjnsf
qusnccof the rapid approach recently made to a con
summation of Texas annexation, out of which the
only contingency now likely to present itself, i^ the
comparatively trivial one of the probability of h
colli ion with M^xic >. It appears uL-so that Mr
McLme, who li.isju*! tjone ti> Kngluud, a* the rcsi
dent American minister, near the government of
that c mntry, h :* not b -en charged with any special
instructions rel itiveto the settlement of the Oregon
question, which isthua kept at Washington to be
u-ed ue circumstances may warrant.
The rumor that Mr. Polk and Mr. Buchanan art
meditating a settlement ui accordance with the En
glish clam of th? forty-ninth degree, isuow rife
every v. !i?re, and acquire? im|>ortanceand credibility
from the fact th t the Union, which Ins uniformly di*
covered buch remarkable sensitiveness in correcting
any misapprehensions < f the policy of the adminis
tration, says not one syllable about it, and in truth, ta
citly udniits its accuracy. It is, therefore, quite evi
dent that the business now occupies the at! ntion ol
government, and the rumors, conjectures, sur
mises, and speculations relative to the character and
proj?rre-s ?f the governmental policy and action, are
thick rind conflicting. The course of the Conner.
and other whig journals, in endeavoring to coix
the administration into a settlement of the question
ii accordance with the claims of England, is very
easily understood. Th<?y want to get rid of thi?
element before the next Presidential question. They
wmt to prevent the possibility of any difficulty with
England which could effect the commercial and
stock jobhini interests. But the most influential
motive is the desire to remove out of the fifld of ac
tion before the next great struggle fairly begins, this
most potent i tl element which stirs up all the popu
lar masses of the west, mid must undoubtedly ope
rate ns the IVxhs question, only with increased
power and influence in swelling and strengthening
the democratic impulses of the country. Nothing
can, however, be more certain, than that no candi
date for popular favor, b<> lie locofoco or whig, can
dare to lend his aid to a settlement of this question
on the terms now rumored to be recognized by Mr
Polk and the present Secretary of State. Such a
compromise would create u feeling throughout the
wen? now grown up into such an overi>owenii?
importance ? a-* would sweep everything before it,
utterly annihilating the present dynasty, and any one
that would attempt to succeed it on the same prin
ciples of foreign policy.
It is generally objected by those who wish to pre
serve the peaceful relations of the two countries
that the United States should make some compro
mise for the sake of continued commercial prospe
rity. It is also supposed, or affected to be supposed.
by these parties, that from the declarations of Sir
Robert Pee!, the British government would readily
go to war with the United States and interrupt the
present peaceful relations of the country, even on the
m?re point of honor. We doubt this very much.
We believe it is quite possible for the United States
to take possession of the whole disputed territory.
? ind yet maintain their present peaceful and prosper
ous condition entirely unbroken. This country has
now grown up to the possession of a dictatorial pow
er in the affairs of the European world. By the
adoption timyly of? certain line of commercial poli.
cy, the United States may not only settle, without a
single ounce of powder, the Oregon question,and not
only lay the foundation of the annexation of Cali
fornia and Canada, but create a revolution on the
other side of the Atlantic which would shake to their
very basis the despotic dynasties of Euro]>? Every
one who is familiar with the history of the country,
recollects the famous embargo system projected by
Mr. Jefi'-rson. The system itself was an original
one ? worthy of that great and original mind
But it was then premature. The United States did
not then constitute that powerful lever on the affairs
of the European world which they have since com>j
t > b ?. T'iu time is now rife for the adoption ol
tli :t scheme <1 intelligent and sagacious statesman,
ship If an embargo were laid upon the cotton ex
ports of this country, a controlling influence would
bs exerted upon France and England, which they
could not possibly regis' ^ Just let us imagine, for a
mament, the operation of such a course of policy
on the part of this country. The effect on the man
ufacturing districts of England would be tremen
dous and inevitable. A civil revolution would be
the necessary result. The same would be the effect
in France, in a parti. ?1 degree. In this country, on
the other hand, the effect would be salutary aud
prosperous in the extreme. A slight reduction in
the pricc of cotton, would give a greatly increased
impetus to our manufactories, which would soon
monopolize the eupply of Europe and Asia, with
twists, yarns, and cotton cloth. Thus our distribu
tion of the comm-rcial elements would influence
and aggravate, still more, the adverse situation of
things in England, occasioned by the abrupt termi
nation of the cotton exports from our shores.
In this aspect of the case? a view which will be
sustained by the common sense and leelings of the
great masses of the people ? it will be at once per.
ceived that the controversy with England relative to
Oiegon is in a position highly advantageous to the
interests of this country, one which will command
the impulses and sympathies of the great western
masses, and in fact the whole American people, ex
cept the mere stock-jobbers and shippers of the At
lantic border, which can have little influence indeed,
when opposed to the other great national interests of
the country. And now that the Texas question has
ho nearly approached its final settlement, the Oregon
question will at once become the great absorbing
question of the day. With it in their hands the
musses of the West will come over the Alleghany
mountains at the next session of Congress, and as
tonish the World and all timid and narrow-minded
politicians, who may falter in the course ot policy
wo open and so just.
The insane, interested, selfish and silly lavings
nf such journal* as the Couritr and Tribunt on this
subject, will pass for naught with the people, livery
inch ot Oregon is ours and must be preserved. Not
a gun need be fir'-d ? not a grnin of gunpowder ex
pended ? no need of steamers and fleets and armies
and munitions of war. The cotton bales will fight
the buttles of the country that produces them.

lected that a few weeks ago there wu a notice in
some of the news|>apert, stating that on* Parmelee,
who was formerly a corre?]>ondent of this paper at
Washington during the extra session of Congress,
had procured an indictment against the proprietor ot
the Herald before n Grand Jury in Buffalo. We be
. lieve this is so, and we rather think it will turn out
1 one of the most extraordinary indictments ever pro
cured before any Grand Jury; and when the trial
comes on it will afford us an opportunity of making
some nios-t extraordinary developements in relation
to the manner in which |>oor Mr. Tyler, in certain
I respect*, wad deceived and duped by persons who
j had his confidence lor the time.
This Parmelee was for several years in our em
1 ployment, and was specially engaged as a corres
pondent at Washington during the first years of Mr.
i Tyler's administration, and at the Extra Session
His conduct was not satisfactory to us, and we dis
charged him from our employment. Soon after
wards he obtained an appointment from Mr. Tyler
I 1 1 an Inspectorship on the frontier, which he has
; since that period enjoyed, unless he has been renio
| ved by the present administration, as we have
j heard stated, and is very likely. Scon after his
! discharge by us, some most violent and per
j sonallv abusive articles appeared in a paper
! published 111 this city, called the Aurora,
i long since defunct. These articles brought up the
, ease of Parmelee, and made some direct charges
: againtt the proprietor of this paper, which wo at the
1 time rebutted, and certainly disproved, by extracts
! from the letters of Parmelee himself. Out of this
defence of our character and reputation, Parmelee j
I undertook, two years afterwards, to found a civil
action for a libel suit, which he coon afterwards
I abandoned ; and now, after a lapse of tVree years, ?
has obtained an indictment against us before a grand j
j jury who could know nothing of the merits of the '
cage, and wore out ot the venue, and who ought ^
: not, in justice aud equity, to have for a moment en- ,
| tcrtained the complaint.
The indictment has, however, been obtained, und ;
; on the trial, we will present a defence, which will'
certainly l>c not a little interesting to the public at 1

Mexican Diplomats ? Mr. Grkk.n and Sig.nor
Atocha ? A corresi>ondence is now going on be
tween these two distinguished personages, of both
lengthy and lively nature. It is altogether ainusine
to read their letters, although the apparent object ot
both writers is no less than to prove that they are
respectively persons of very questionable character,
and by no means worthy of credence or admission
to the society of "honorable men." Signor Amelia's
last epistle, addressed to the editors of the V. S
Journal, is rich in gems of ingenious satire, und
the " gravida?" with which he turns over his oppo.
nent, poking him " teevndttn arttm" in the sore
spot-, is decided proof of his dexterity at fence.
And yet, though the Signor, like u man of true
?Spanish blood, an "old Castilhan," never forgets n
dignified reserve, there is a humor in his method
of st rving out Mr. Green that is irresistibly amusing
As a specimen of his style, the following episode of
the little French milliner will serve: ?
Vet I must ilo liim justice : there arc diplomatic ex
ploits of which be showed himself capable, and which
won him a renown there even more permanent than the
fame of hit State papers. Ol one of them, let me, though
unworthy, be the historian Just opposite to the Gran
Sociedad, in the street ilrl Rifuiin, No. 22, there dwelt,
in a lodging, humble and ill-furnished, (such as distressed
beauty and virtue usually inhabits in a novel,) what Sir
Peter Teade iu the play calls " a little French milliner."
The goods w hich she so! 1 ? ete brought irom New Or
leans ; and I. being the banker with w hom she deposited
her money, always settled for her at the custom-house,
the duties on them. 1 pon one occasion, slip showed me
certain fashionable articles as just received, of the nr
rival of which I had not been apprized. I asked her.
therefore, bow she was able to sell them before she had
paid the duties ? She answered thattl>ev were a part of
several trunks of similar articles, whic^i Senor Green
the American charge, (whoce company she enjoyed
some two or three time* a week) had done her the kind
ness to have brought from New Orleans for her, and
passed " free" through the custom house, by virtua ol
having them directed to !' The t 'nited States ' Legation,
.Mexico."
Voting Mr. Green, she assured me, was a very able
diplomat t, and highly useful to her.
The above is a promising extract, and a great
many more good things may be exacted. But, is it
not possible this pleasant discusrion inay assume
another form : that words, however compact and
well aimed, will not prove hard enough to satisly
their growing wrath ? It does seem like time to
try the virtue of powder and ball, and it may be
fancy, Uut the smell of saltpetre comes on the breeze
! already. Loook out for an affair of honor.
Bern wick's Medical and Surgical I.tstitltk ?
! We have received a note from Dr. Gunning $- Bed
i lord, contradicting in some d'-grce the statement
made in the HtraJd of yesterday, relative to his profes
sional services having been secured by Dr.Bostwick.
of the " Institute" in Chamber street. We believe
that an error was committed by ue in the mode o(
[ expression employed to convey a fact of which there
s not any doubt. The simple fact is this : I)r. Bost
wiek is in the habit, when any case of rem.irkabl"
interest occurs in his " Institute," to consult some
of the most eminent physicians or surgeons, us the
case may be, in the city, llicir opinion is very
cheerfully and readily given, and for their aid Dr.
Bostwick pays handsomely, dividing with them the
amount ot tecs paid by the patient. This is an equi
table and very common sense arrangement, and the
professional gentlemen who*e services are thus
sought and paid for, are not at all inclined, as the
public may readily conceive, to find fault with it.?
I Dr. Mott has in this way been consulted? so has Dr
| Cheeseinan ? so has Dr. Nelson, the distinguished
surgeon from Canada ? so has Dr. Bedford, and in
! tact, almost all the leading men in the profession in
i the city. Dr. Bedford tin. :s fault wuh the expression
that he has been called on to " operate and prescribe
in the Institute," because he does not wish it to be
supposed that he is a business |>artner in the strict
I sense of the term We theretore very readily niak>
the correction he desires, adding at the same time
that our llrst statement was"mtended, and virtually
was, complimentary rather than otherwise, to the
Professor of Obstetrics and the Diseases of Women
and Children in the " Stuyvesant Institute," in its
connection of his name with the "t'hambers street
Institute."
Our attention has been directed, by this note of
lir. Bedford, still more keenly to Dr. Bostwick'^
: " In?titute." We have heard a good deal about it
, from sever.il of the medical gentlemen of this city
; They like the excellent and satisfactory business ar
rangements of the doctor, and consider the system
j as well calculated to promote the mutual advantages
i of the resident physician, and those whom he calls
in as consulting physicians and oi>erating surgeons.
! We understand that some most remarkable eases,
I which had baffled the skill of all previous treatment,
have yielded to that adopted by Dr. Bostwick, and
we may, probably, one of these days, give a history
of the establishment, and refer to the details of some
j of these ense*.
Galvanic Rings. ? The attention of the public is
directed to an advertisement in another column,
relative to that important remedial agent ? the gal
vanic ring. Although the study of galvanic action

'<> the core of disease is a very recent discovery;
I however, from all accounts, if has been fully recog

W? have received in a round about way the fol
lowi >g interesting intelligence from Central Amen

prob- bly came via the City of Mexico and Ver.<
Cruz. Its content* are ol some importance, aa ex
hibiting the interference of England in the internal
affairs of that beautiful country.
It is to be seen that we are promised a full history
of th ? overthrow of th? Federal Government of Cen
tral America ; it will lead to developments of consi
derable interest to this whole continent.
[Correspondence of New York Herald j
OuiTtMiu, May 16, 1845.
I am determined to give \ ou a complete insight into
the affairs of thin section of the werld. The Ymericati
people from one end of the continent to the other will be
surprised when they read my account. It is called for,
and I therefore, give it.
To ward* the end of the year 1-*3m. Mr. Kroderick Chat
field, the British Consnl lor Central America, went to
Costa Rica under the pretence ol claiming the deht that
was due from that province to British subjects, and also
uclai:n which was due from that government to British
merchant" on account of the deht ol that Republic, be
cause the five State* of Central America were then on
the point of separation. At Costa Rica, he met the Chief
of thrt State, " Branlio Carillo," who offered to pay the
deht i i tobacco ; and as Chatfield eutertained a secret
hatred against General Morazon. the President of all
Central America, and was desirous ot hi* downfall, he
(Chatdeld) agreed to receive the tobacco on the express
conditions that tlio said " Branlio Carillo*' would at oncc
declare war onanist the confederate government, which,
having ticon agreed to. Chattield started for Nicaragua
and six davs a'teiwaids the State of Costa Rica declared
war against the confederate government of Central
Amoiica
Chatfield wont to Nicaragua under the pretence of
celling the tobacco which lie delivered over to Mr. Fos
ter, the then acting Vice Consul at the port ol Rea'ejo
(This tobacco was not sold In March, 1844.) Chattield
then ina'le the acquaintance of" Bruitrago." Chief of the
state of Nicaragua, and arranged with him that no claim
should be made on the part of the British government foi
the claims of British subjects for some time, providing;
he would send an army to join the arniv sent by the
State of Honduras against the federal government.
This otter was quickly accepted by the government of
Nicaragua, and twelve hundred mon were accordingly
marched under the commau.i of "Colonel Quijano,'
and formed a junction with tho army of the rebels ot
Honduras under the command of " General Kerrera."
(fhief of that State and Commander-in-Chief of Hon
duras mid " (ioneral Kspinosa" as second in command)
at " Choluteca," as had been screed upon by Chatfield.
who, accordingly, made no claim against "the State of
Nicaragua for a long time after.
Thus the combined armies of Nicaragua and Honduras
wore commanded by the rebel chicls Kerrera, Espinosa.
and Quijano. Chatfield then returned to the city ot San
Salvador, where he at that time resided, and roused that
State to join with the others already alluded to.
After sundry small skirmishes with the troops of the
confederation tlib combined rebels of Nicaragua am!
Honduras arrived at " Espirito Santo,'' in tho month of
April, 133!>. an estate a short distance from the city of
San Miguel, where a battle took place between those re
bels and the army of the federal government, command
ed by Gen. Moraion in person, when tho rebels were en
tirely destroyed and Oen. Mora/on received a desperate
wound in the arm, from which Dr. Drivon, in the course
of four months, extracted fifty -two splinter* of the bone,
during the whole of which time Oen. Morazou was una
ble to lie removed, as the doctor was fearful he should
be obliged to amputate tho limb by the shoulder-joint ?
In the mean time, while this was going on, Chatfield was
constantly circulating a report that Oen. Moraion was
dead and "had been privately nuried by tho doctor and his
friends, thinking by this to intimidate the soldier* and
supporters of the federal government. As soon as the
armv of Nicaragua had been put In motion, Chatfield. as
has beenbe'ore stated, returned to San Salvador, and fo
mented a revolution in that city during the absence of
the President, who was absent from the city, having been
oblige ! to march against tho rebels, whom' he destroyed
at Espirito Santo, as above mentioned. This business ha
ving ended no contrary to Chatfield's hopes, the said in
dividual was obliged to remain quiet fur about live
months, not having an opportunity to follow up his re
bellious motives. By this time the chiefs, Kerrera. Espi
nosa and Quijano, who had escaped from the slaughter of
Espirito santo, had again assembled an army Irom the
States of Nicaragua and Honduras, and were once
more in the field, when the President was again
compelled to leave San Salvador with his army.
Chattield availing himself of this opportunity, again
stirred up the people ol that city and pro>ailed on them
to take possession of the town ? Chatfield at the tame
time, and whilst the city was in the greatest uproar and
confusion, owing t<> this insurrection, and the lives and
property of the most respectable of the communitv in
the utmost danger, refused the protection of the British
flap to several of the subjects of France, under the pre
tence that there was a Consul ol France in Central Amo
ricu who resided in the city of Guatemala He also re
fused British protection to the wife and two daughters of
General Morazon. the President of the Republic, who
were now exposed to every insult and danger from an
infuriated and brutal mob, who were threatening to mur
derthem. General Morazon having heard of this out
break whilst he whs in the village of "Tonacatepec"' has
tened back with all expedition to the city of San Salva
dor and immediately took possession of it, and afterwards
marched against the rebels of Nicaragua and Hondu
ras, who, in the meantime had been joined by great num
bers of the rebels of San Salvador, and had taken up a
very strong position at "San PedroJPerulapan," which
could be entered only through a narrow and difficult
pass. Here they wore stormed by the troops led on by
General Mora/.on and completely exterminated, a num
ber of the chiefs and soldiers being taken prisoners aloue
escaped death at this place; those chiefs and soldiers, as
also the chiefs of the locsl insurrection of the city of
Snn Salvador taken prisoner* at the recapture of that
| city stated that they had been excited to rebellion by
Chit field, the British Consul, notwithstanding which
Morazon set them nil at liberty and sent a message of
forgirenes* to Chatfield. ? hat held now losing all hopes
of further disturbance in those parts, went to the city of
Guatemala, where he usually quarters himself in the
house of Will iam Hail. Fsq., the Knglith Vice Consul,
at the rate of one dollar a day for board and lodging.
A few months after this, the President of Central Ame
rica. General Mora/.nn. was compelled to undertake an
expedition ngninst the State of Guatemala, which was
now in lehciliou against the federal government through
?he secret influence and persuasion of ChatHeld, who
was acting as chief adviser and director of tho move
ments of the rebels. In 18-11, General Morazan drove the
rebel forces out of the city of Guatemala; but as his
troops had been much thinned by the various skirmishes
which had taken place, he was obliged, being attacked
by superior numbers, to again retreat, when nis follow
ers were almost entirely cut olt'by the troops of Carrara,
chief of the rebels. It was on this occasion that a young
officer, in the service of the federal government, of the
name of " Viera." a Peruvian by birth, with eighteen of
his men, who had been left in the city of Guatemala
?titer the retreat and overthrow of General Mora/on,
sought refuge in the house off hatfield, tho British Con
ul. who admitted them under the protection ot the
British flag; and, to the disgrace of the British nation,
'his Chatfield immediately sat down and wrote a list of
the names of those bra?e, but unfortunate men, which
he tent to < arrera, the rebel chief, (an uncivilized In
dian.) informing him that those men were in his house,
and requested that he would send the executioners-,
? hen. in a few minutes, an officer and soldier*, (all In
dians, ) arrived, and murdered this young officer." Viera."
and his eighteen men, in cold blood, in the most brutal
manner, under the British flag, and in the immediate
presence of ( hatfield, the British Consul, who was at the
same time reading his favorite chapter of Kzekicl, in r>
large Bible, a yard square, which belonged to his
mother'* father, a preacher. Chatfield is a half pay
lieutenant in the Coldstream Guards.

Tiik Post Office Advertising. ? It is amusing to
observe the spasmodic wrigglings of some of our
contemporaries, relative to (he apportionment of the
Post Office advertising of this city The Evening
Journal, amongst others, is quttc cxcited on the sub
icct. The creatures may spare their gratulaiions
We shall very soon expose the miserable evasion ot
the law, perjietrated by the Postmaster of this city.
The evidence of the superiority of our circulation
over that of one of the papers selected by him,
i? now in his possession, sworn to in an affidavit, as
prescribed by the Department. As for the circula
tion of a mere penny paper, that was to be given
away or sent to the trunkmakers by thousands when
occasion requires, it is altogether different from a
journal like the Herald, thai addresses itself to at
(he educated, intelligent and influential minds in
the country. But as to the quibbling evasions of the
Postmaster ol tins city, iu this instance, the remedy
is open to us, and we will at once seek it. We mean
to memorialize the Poatrnaster General; if that be
ineffectual, we will apjieal to the President and Con
gress. We have not, by any means, done with fhit
business, and that the public will see.
The Collector and Custom House. ? The lea
ders of the ultra democratic- ptrty are beginning to
grumble vry much at the conduct of Mr. Collector
Lawrence. It seems that he is very costive in his
conversation, and in spite of all applications and in
direct methods to find out what is going on, or what
he intends, it is impossible to aseertain what move
ments are contemplated by him. Me i. thus de
nounced already almost ns violently as Governor
Van Ne'i Collector Lawrence thus wisely keeps
lus own counsel ? says not u word? attends to the
details of his duties at Ins desk daily? and appears

F**ncr Opera.? Robert-leviable has now reach
ed iu third ni ;ht, and the enthusiasm of the public
still remains unabated; but this doe* not surprise us
The fain? of this wonderful Opera ? unquestionably
the greatest and grandest work of the age, with re
gard to the production of novel and entirely original
musical effects ? has spread ad ultimum ThuU, and
the Bensation it has every where made is without a
parallel. How, therefore, could New York have re
mained behind 1 Judging from the frequent and ju
dicious applauses bestowed upon it throughout the
evening, we confidently can say that it has made a
lasting impression. No Opera has been so fre
quently performed in the same space as Robert. In
Paris! alone the ever to be regretted Nourrit sung it
nearly two hundred times; after hin melancholy
death, lie was followed by Mario, who made Ins dcbul
in it on the occasion of which Meyerbeer expres-ly
coin;nn?ed a premier a ? by the by, a piece inferior
to th<- rest of the music. Mario, au Italian to the
bone, was not equnl to the task, and to the regret ot
all, rfie Opera was Lid over for pome time, till it was
again brought out for the benefit of Duprey, and, al
though played over three hundred times, it never
fails to fill the grand Operu from the pit to the ceil
ing. A* a proof of the immense difficulty of the mu
sic, we can here mention that it was a long time be.
lore Duprey could be prevailed U|>on to enact the
|Mit of Kobert, and although he gave the recitatives
?which form part and'parcel of the mnrceaux from
which they are not detached as in ltuliau Operus ?
,n a style for which lie will always remain unequal -
ed, he was less effective in it, than m other
Operts, for "instance, in the Huguenots, which, al
though of a more scientific and still more
coin; lie.' ted nature, is not so difficult to sing. Here
the c uitposer granted the singers some revise be

ring: us first, Isabella during the second, and Bertram
durii g the third act. The more praise is due to the
Frer ch company, that they acquit themselves in such
a creditable way. Arnaud is one of the best Robert',
but there certainly are some defects in his perform
ance ? the falutto is not always well and judiciously
used, as, in the " oh fortune d ton eaprit ?, and ill the
invitation to the knights to piny with him ; but there
arc 5 < many excellent points in it, on the whole,
that it would be hypercritical io dwell on the weaker
one*. Douvry's sinking in the resurrection scene,
-aid tiie valse inftmale was capital, and was rewarded
with much applause ; yet, we would advise him not
10 dwell with so much force on the last note of the
latter air, and not employ so many rttaodardos. The
Cuuiriots most efficiently contribute to the symme
try of th? whole. Madame Cassini sung less timidly
than on the previous night, but she is still too weak
for this most difficult part. Prevost's leading is the
theme of universal admiration, but we found the
movement of the resurrection a little too fast. The
orchestra, although more than sufficient for any
other opera, is a little too limited for Robert, princi
pally the violins ; two additional tympani are sadly
missed. The same can be said of the male chorus
in the first act, an 1 the trebles in the second. The
house was comfortably full, and the fashionables
mustered in strong numbers.
Castle Gakdkv.? 1 This delightful place of amuse
ment was attended last night by a numerous and
highly fashionable audience. Miss Cohen, who
pei formed the Sinolenska, was very much applaud
ed, as she deserved, for her gracefulness, and Herr
Cline, as ever, received by repeated applauses, the
positive prooj that the epectators appreciated the ac
complished manner with which he went through
his astonishing feats of surprising agility. We must
not forget to mention the tableaux moucants which
afforded also a very great entertainment to those
who had resorted to this place in order to forget, by
a few hours of enjoyment, the heat and fatigues of
the day. Castle Garden, by his situation, and the
inducements it offers to those who love to enjoy
themselves in these days of melting heat, in u de.
lightfully cool atmosphere, will be always frequent
ed by h11 whose business prevents their enjoying the
fresh air of the country during the summer months.
The band also deserve great credit for the mas
terly manner with w^iich they performed during the
whole evening.
Niiilo's Garden. ? The Seven Castle* still con
tinues its prosperous career ? the saloon presents
a beautiful appearance, filled by the fashionab e
belief arui beaux of our city, and a goodly number
of strangers. The Acrobat family are really won
derful ? so much grace joined to such vast strength,
is rarely witnessed. Their performances are re
peated this evening with the Seven CaAtlea. Mrs.
Mowutt's engagement here in quite the topic of
conversation among the upper ten thousand, who
will crowd the garden to welcome her.
Morality in Wall Street ? New Mode of
Financiering ? The report which was bo freely
circulated in Wall 6treet a few days since, implica
ting a certain Hank in a transaction of the most ne
farious character, proves to be trae in every particu
lar. The transaction to which we allude is con
nected with the recent forgery, involving the ruin of
an individual who was made the victim for the pur
pose of protecting the interests of the Dank, who,
to secure this end, did not hesitate in compounding a
felony. This singular affair will be thoroughly in
vestigated, and our readers may look out for some
curious, funny, interesting and extraordinary dis
closures.
Urbanization ok the New Police? Scenk at
the Mayor's Office. ? The Mayor is still busily
engaged, examining into the character and capacity
of applicants for office. Wc hope he will get
through before long, and appoint the requisite num
ber of nble and qualified men, who will rid the
city of the thieves, pickpockets, and burglars now
infesting it. it is to be hoped that these men will
be immediately placed on duty, without waiting fo>
| the station houses being prepared. The night
I watch mav be retained for the present, and ine
newly appointed officers perform day duty only, un
! til such time as the stations can be cot ready.
Some of the rarest, richest, ana most ludicron
1 scenes imaginable are daily occurring at theMayor'i
i office while he is conducting the examination?
The candidates are often of the most shabby charae
u>r ? men who are neither uble to read or write, and
their answers to his honor's questions arc some
times exceedingly funny.
The following scene is said to have taken pine
on Monday, between the Mayor and an applicant:?
Mayor? Cu" you write your name?
Applicant? Mo; but I can make my mark.
Mayor? Can you read ?
' Applicant? Faith y'er honor, I never went h

Hoboken Ferry Boats ?On" of the finest ferry
boats on the river has recently !?een placed on
lie Barclay ptreet terry intended to run to and

enterprising proprietors of the Hoboken ferries.

Tii* ft* eat Ten Milk Race, See., Over thi
Beacon Course, Yesterday.? The weather was at
hot ever, upwards of ninety degrees in the shade,
but notwithstanding the littendance was greater thar. i
ever. From twelve o'clock parties began to arnvi ,
in hundreds, and from two o'clock there was one !
continuous flock of persons towards the course. :
Every description of vehicle was in requisition to :
carry those who could aiford an odd quarter for such I
?1 purjiose, to suv? their logs. Vehicles are in much '
more requisition this year than ever they were be- '
fore, in consequence of the removal of the old rot
ten stair case at the foot of the hill. In consequence
of this removal, however, many prefer going round
by the New Jersey Ferry, asthe distance is now ren
dered about equ if, and the steep ascent from Hobo
ken avoided. The sport in this neighborhood must
afford a fine harvest to the different ferry proprie
tors, hotel keepers, and others, who, no doubt, aid
materially the liberal purses that are given. There
was a pretty good muster of sweat-cloths and other
gambling apparatus along thejond, particularly near
the Mergen Cottage, at the foot of the hill, and about
the entrance to the course. At the latter point "the
little joker" whs particularly, in active operation,
and appeared to have us many admirers and sup
Kjrti rs as ever, notwithstanding all the udvice tliut
us been given gratuitously for u great length ot
time past.
A short time before three o'clock, a big black
whi: kered fellow was observed to break into the
track, a little below the field-stand He was imme
diately pursued by the proprietor of the course, who
called upon him to tutn hack : but he heeded not the
call, and went on his way. Mr. Browning followed
and o ime up with him, when the other seized a
piece of deal plank and struck him over the side of
the ! ead, about the lower jaw, cutting him severely
\lr. Browning then drew his revolving pistol and
fired at what appeared to be his l"irs, but did not h t
him They closed together, and ihe fellow got hold
of Mr. Browning's heavily-loaded whip, with which
he wruck him a very heavy blow over the head,
which staggered him. He* .soon recovered, nnd
drew his pistol and fired airain. At this moment
others interposed, among whom was the Sheriff of
the county, who saw all that passed, and the aggres
sor was taken into custody and shortly after convey
ed to the Hackensack prison. Some persons, pretend
ing to respectability, defended the trespasser in his
actions, and contended that lie had a perfect right
to act as he had done, though all that knew ihe put ty
said that if they had been situated as Mr Browning
was, they would not have been so prudent or cool
as he was. We may next hear of parties advoca
ting the right of persons to commit burglary, and
not to be resisted.
It was near four o'clock ere the sports of the day
commenced with a walking match of two miles,
for a purse of #50 ? jjflO to the second, for which
the following pedestrians were entered :
Nnrfh Star, nt'Canaih, I John 8. Vandynp.
William Vertnelyet, I
The three tlr>t Pin the lust walking match; but on
ly the two first came to the scratch. There was a
vague rumor of a combination on the part of the
North Star, but no proof being forthcoming he was
allowed to start
The betting previous was the North Star against
the second and third ; 7 to 4 against Wm. Vermil
yea ; 6 to 4 against J. S. Vandyne.
Both the men came up and appeared quite san
guine The North Star was quite indignant at the
aspersion that was made upon him. The word hi
ving been given, they went forth well together, the
Star, it anything, having the lead, but at the bottom
opened the gapl>etween them apparently about ten
yards. He reached the quarter pole in lm. 53s. in
this position. On approaching the half mile the
Star was still further ahead, and th" other ap
peared to fall off most wonderfully. The half was
reached in 4m. They kept thus round the top past
the three-quarter poll, and at the draw-gate coming
home the Mar apjieared to lead full the eighth of a
mile, and he completed his first mile thus in 8m 7s.
When Vandine reached the Judge's chair he pull?-d
up, but was pressed by his friends to continue the
match as there was a considerable amount depend
ing upon time. After some reluctance und delay he
did ;-o, and in the meanwhile the Star^nt a quarter
in advance of him, which position he maintained
home, completing the two miles in 17m. Is. ; and
Vandine in 18m. 308.
Some delay again look place. The American
Deer wished the fen mile race In take place after the
hurdle race, in consequence of the excessive heat of
the weather. This was refused on the part of Gil
dersleve, who insisted un the printed programme
of the sport being adhered to. This was eventually
agreed to.
It was about 5 o'clock when the men for the
great feature of the day were in readiness. The
match was a Ten Mile R ice, for a purse of $300?
$150 to the second, and 50 to the third. The fol
lowing iwdestrians were entered: ?
1. Jolin Oilderaleere, 16. American Deer, late from i
2. Irnace Kat.nichiate, the K 'gluid,
Iroquois Indian. I 7. WYUh Bantam, late from
N. M. Hall. Wale.,
C. Desmond, 8. K. C'henny,
Jantei Wheelaa, I 9. M. Pickney.
Out of the above list the following only made their
appearance, and were placed in the following or
der : ?
John Gildersleve.
Wm. Jackson, the American Deer.
Wm. Roberts, the Welch Bantam.
(itldersleve was dressed in white net cap and !
white short drawers; Jackson in flesh-colored silk i
drawers with a blue birds-eye fogle on his head;
Williams in blue drawers and blue striped handker
chief on his head. The latter appeared a great de.il
loo fleshy to m ike a good race. He is a native of
Glamorganshire, in South Wales, about 22 years of
age.
Previous to the race, there was some rumor of
Gildersleve not being in condition for the race in j
consequence of being run asruinst by a horse on the i
track on Monday last. We saw the accident at the i
time, and Gildersleve afterwards, who did not j
complain or appear to be hurt to any material ex- [
tent. Hut notwithstanding this report Gildersleve i
h id many very sanguine -upparters, who took the
slightest odds that were offered against him. The |
American Deer, on the whole, was the decided ta- j
vorite ; and a con-iderablc sum was iaid out upon |
In ru at to ?! ; but after vardsti to t wan wanted. Il
wan thought the Welch liuntarn would have a better !
chance in a race after the- goats on his native lulls '
than on the present occasion Even that it was done '
in 55m ; to 4 th it it was done in 57m.
The word h.ivmgbeen given the Bantam took the |
lead at a slap-up pace : there was a slight p.inse be- ;
tween Jackson and Gildersleve who should follow, t
when Jackson took it nbout two yards after th ' .
Bantam, closely followed by Gildersleve, as if wait- '
ing. The first quarter was clone in 1m l(i< : lue bait
in 2m 32i. Round the top n!' eared well toge
ther, Jackson apparently takii r easy, the Bantam
working like a ste-mi engine. ickaon cune home
in 5m. 23s. ; Gi'de -'eve second, about a yard be
iiind, with the Ba it mi two yard-* Jbehiud him ?
Ju>t as Jackson approached the judge's chair, at the
??iid of this mile, a boy crowed his path, at whom he
made a blow which stretched him full length on his
mother earth.
For the second mile, at the ouarter, Gildersleeve
went in front, which shortly after was taken from
lirn by Jackson, who came home in 5.37, and
Tildersleeve not a yard behind him The Bantam
was near the eighth of a mile behind, and as bl
eached the Judge's chair, made a bee line from the
track and eave up the contest.
The third mile was much as before ; the only two
remaining comi>etitors were not h yard apart on
eaching the Judge's chair, in 6 33, both taking it
ipparently rather easy
The fourth mile, ps before, (lilderslreve atepping
into JacksonV footmark, in 5 35
The fifth mile, at the end, there was some slight
?liatige : Jackson led home near U|>on three yard* in
iront. He was now evidently opening the gap be
tween them. Time J 35.
Sixth mile; at the quarter-poll the space was still
'reater between them ; still more so at the half
fiiey apjieared to be alternately increasing and de
creasing the space between them, as they proeeed
"d, but Jacksan came in front, in 5 37, Gilaeltleeve
upwards of half a quaiter behind
Seventh mile lliey went thus round the bottom,
ami increasing the spice between them as the)
reached the quarter, and to the half, where Gilder
sleeve appealed to he near a quarter behind, when
h" gave op the contest in conaequence of a violent
pain in the side : and Jackson came in at the end ol
this inile quite fresh : 5 45.
The eighth mile Jackson went at a great rate, and
came home in 5:1!?
Ninth mile was done in 6:7, although fools would
crowd on the track.
In the tenth nnle Jackson made a most beautiful
^rush?could not have done bi tter if he had been
most severely pushed for it? just as a specimen ol
what he could do, and came home in 5 .jfj
Thus ended the long looked for ten mile contest
between ilie pride pedeatri ins of England and Ame
rica ; but doubtless the affair will not end here
There are others, and ihe same party, that will nol
be content with this. Greater tents are yet to be
performed in this respect. At the end, there was
some slight demur among the judges as to time,
but was eventually settled as above. The following

The following is the time of the principal matches
that came off over this Course last year: ?
Oct 16 ? Oildarsleve performed ten miioi,
beating Oreenlulgh und Barlow, the Eng
lish pedestrians, in A7^m. ui^v.
Nor. la? Darlow performed ten miles, beat
ing Gildersleve and Oreenhalgh, in .V4 m. 31*.
Dec. 16? Ureenhalgh performed 12 milei,
beating Oildersleve, in G8 m. 48?.
Immediately after the ten mile race, a foot hurdle
race for h nurse of $50 ? $10 to the second ; quarter
of u nule heats; tilteen hurdles three feet three in
ches high, to go over as they please ? for which tli<?
following f*rsoiis were entered : ?
1. George Howard, I 6. Oillxrt Arrry,
2. Junes R. L<-wis, T. llir<m H.nton,
3. I'etrr KuowUnd, I 8. Edward (ones,
4. R. William*, the Welch I 9. Robert Murphy,
Bvntam, 10- William Bell,
5. Ilicliaid Williams, I II. John Emily.
This was a very cxciting und amusing affair ; its
novdty prevented anything like betting previous to
its commencement.
The hurdles were placed most awkwardly for th?
spectators. They were situated at the quarter poll
on the straight side coming in. to that the d li
ferent competitors hud to run home towards th?
judges' stand, und those who stood in that vicinity
could not see the start or progress until they
reached the end. Had they been placed round the
bottom to the first quurter, the whole proceedings
might have been seen. But there may be belter ar
rangements another time.
J. R. Lewis, P. Know laud, R. Williams and G.
Avery, did not show.
For reasons before stited, the progress could not
be known, but they came along ut a slapping pace
toward' the judge's cli-iir, led on by Reward some
five or six yards in front 1-1, followed by Horton
some five or six yards behind ; the Bantam third
close to him. The others tailed oil.
The second heat was much the same ; Seward
led home in 1-11, followed by Horton much as be
fore, the Bantam third, Emily iourth, Bell fifth,
Hawkey sixth: the rest anywhere. Hoi ton *as
quite fresh ut the end. The hurdles, generally
speaking, was taken in good nyle, only one big
fellow had a summerset at tke beginning of the first
heat.
Thus ended the sports ot the day; although u was
much more one-sided than was anticipates, no one
could say but that they had fun enougli for their m> ?
ney, particularly those who forced their entrance
without |>ayinu anything ? some three or four
thousand.

then we have been waited upon by a gentleman of this

adapted, but the only one by which the end proposed
can be attained. It has already received tho approval ol'
.tany gentlemen well acquainted with the subject, and
will be made known to the public 8* soon as the neces
