Perllom Condition or Knglancl_Wlll tliare
b? a Revolution or ClvLl War!
The condition of England, or rather that of
the whole British Empire, has, according to the
last accounts, reached a perilous crisis?one
from which there would seem to be no escape,
without either a revolution or a bloody civil
war.
The determined movements and demonstrations
made by the chartists, in England and
Scotland, as well as those of the repealers in
Ireland, present on?* of the most menacing attitudes
that the British Empire has assumed
lor the last two centuries. There is nothing in
the history of that kingdom which affords a parallel
to it, till we go back to the scenes which
preceded the old revolution of 1640. For years,
it is true, the Irish repealers have been endeavoring,
isolated and alone, to effect a legislative
separation, or rather a dismemberment of the
legislative union with England. These movements,
which were hitherto under the guidance
of O'Connell, were always nipped at that particulnr
point of devrlopement, which, once passed,
woald lead to a bloodv revolution. O'Connell
and his faction merely used the popular passions
and impulses to intimidate the British gevernment,
and induce them to comply with their hungry
desire for office and emolument. In some
respects, the popular movements hitherto attempted
in Ireland and Scotland present similar features;
but recent events have changed the character
of the scenes, and it is, as we say, an even
chance, according to the last accounts, whether
England is at this moment declared a republic
or is in the midst of a civil and bloody war that
may last for years to come.
The recent chartistdemonstrations in England,
as well as the repeal movements in Ireland, have
no doubt been precipitated by the extraordinary
revolution in France, and the subiidiary movements
and reforms torn from the monarchs of
Germany and Italy, by the determined will of
the determined people. The events on the Continent
could not take place without producing
corresponding sentiments in the hearts of
the British people?hearts which have been
for centuries accustomed to regard the
rights and principles of the race with more discrimination
and judgment than ever existed on
the Continent. There are, however, many obstacles
opposed to the chartist movement in
England. In the British empire, the feudal
aristocracy, though divided in appearance, still
exist in commanding strength and influence.
During the last two centuries, and while they
have been in wars throughout the civilised
and uncivilised world, a new race of aristocracy
has risen up, ieunded on paper money, national
debts, banks, and other devices to cheat labor of
its reward. The greater portion of the landed
aristocracy of England is united with the moneyed
aristocracy, topreserve the preaent government,
and all the shocking and atrocious results
growing out of the immense debt, a corrupt
church, and tremendous establishments ?f every
kind, which feed on the labor of the working
classes. We do not anticipate that the
higher .classes of England will give up their
privileges, or their power, without Bome
bloody effort to retain them for a longer
period of time. W? do not hope, therefore,
that the attempt to revolutionise England
can be as suddenly successful as the recent
revolution in France, or] even those which have
taken place in Germany and Italy. Yet there is
hope, after a frightful contest. The elements of
republicanism or democracy exist among the
masses, and even in the intelligent quarters in
hogiand, to a mucn nigner ana greater extent
than loyal Englishmen or recreant Americans
believe. We know it to be a fact that the greater
portion of those connected with the London
press, as writers or contributors, as well as those
connected with ths provincial presn throughout
the empire, are thoroughly imbued with republican
principles, and are utterly hostile to the
continaance of the power which has so long
been monopolised in the monarchy, aristocracy
and church. Free trade in commerce was the
first movement of the intelligent classes, who
have been preparing for several years past to
carry out the same principles in land, in the
church, and in the privileges granted to a certain
portion of the aristocracy. ee trade In
every department of human existence, or, in
other words, democratic institutions, have been
the purpose of Cobdea and all the chartists for
many years past.
From the knowledge which we acquired of
those elements during our visit to England, we
are not prepared to belitve that so sweeping and
succrsstnl a revolution can take place in England
as that which has recently passed over
France. The chartists of London have an even
chance with the governmen tand their supporters
in the metropolis. ]n Birmingham, Manchester
ndthe central couaties, the success of similar
movements is more probable. owards the ,
North, in Scotland, the prospects of a popular
triumph increase. In Ireland, tit is difficult to
predict the result of the movements of an excited
populace, raised to the highest pitch of expec
tation by the successes on the Continent. In
London, we understand there are only ten thousand
troopa to pV down the strong chartist demoBBtration.
If %e chart.sts were Frenchmen,
Parisians, ten thouaand troopa would hardly be
a breakfast for them, and we are not aure but
they may overpower them; but the higher order
of the trading classes, conceded with the
moneyed and landed aristocracy, will probably
take a.dea against the people, and prolong the
contest. Thia makes us more inclined to believe
that a civil war has broken out in England,
rather than that a successful revolution has been
effected. The next steamer will solve this important
queation.
At ail events, the situation of England, at the
last dates, was more important to the affairs of
the world than any thing that has taken place
for the last two centuries in the history of that
empire. A revolution or a civil war would produce
the same results in commercial affairs. (
We can't perceive, therefore, any ground foi ,
hoi** that the present crisis in the British empire
can pass away without involving a com- ,
pletr and terrible revulsion in all their limine a!? ,
tradmr, and manufacturing concerns. If they ,

The Tkaty with Mexico?Its Pxobahlx
JDKFKAT, AMD CONTINUATION OF TUB WAI.-WB
have intelligence from Washington,** well a*
from Mexico, on this subject, which ia of auch a
character as to lead us to the belief that the
treaty now in Mexico will.be defeated as to its :
ratification, or will be delayed for such a length
of time ad to render the re-commencement and
continuation of the war with Una republic matters
of necessity and of indefinite duration.
The accounts from Mexico, for some time past,
are somewhat contradictory in relation to the
affair of the ratification; but generally the balance
of evidence goessgainst the probability of
any ratification being made. These apprehensions
are strongly confirmed by recent advices from
Washington, and from the secret efforts and intrigues
which have, it ia believed, been discovered,
having for their object the defeat of the
treaty, the re-opening of the Mexican question,
and the probable re-annexation of the whole of
that republic to the United Slate*.
It is well ascertained that the treaty recently *ent
into the Senate by Mr. Polk,and confirmed by that
bodv. was distasteful to Mr. Polk himself, and a
majority of the Senate. Nothing but the iear ofthe
popular vote going against the continuation of the
war, induced Mr. Polk to send, and the Senate
to pats, that treaty. Mr. Trist, by whom it had
been negotiated, acted against the express directions
of the government at Washington. His authority
to originate the document waB repudiated;
and his conduct caused a serious quarrel between
him and the special friends of the President.
If Mr. Polk could have smuggled the
treaty thus produced out of existence, instead
of sending it iuto the Senate, there can hardly
be a doubt but he would have done it. The motive
would have been, to leava the question ot
the annexation of all Mexico open for the approaching
Presidential election.
It is now, therefore, known, since the recent
promulgation of the treaty and the accompanying
documents, in the public press, that the administration
at Washington, and a portion of the
Senate, have been undisguisedly hostile to this
treaty, hoping, by ail means, to have it defeated,
while they were all the while speaking in its favor
before the American people. The recent
mysterious developments, giving glimpses of
the mode in which the treaty end documents
came out before the American people, must
lead every unprejudiced mind to this conclusion,
and to the belief that these publications
were winked at by a certain portion of the
Senate, for the express purpose of defeating
the possible ratification of the treaty, ai^n this
manner of leaving the whole question 0^>en for
another Presidential contest. Mr. Webster, and
those who voted with him against the confirmation,
denounced it in no measured language, publicly,
before the country, in every possible way in
which they could give utterance to their feelings.
There can be ao doubt but that Mr. Polk
himself, ia spite of his public exhibition to the
contrary, was equally hostile to it while acting
in favor of it. Every body may remember how
in the same manner he held a double position
upon the Oregon qijestion?to one man on one
day professing to be for 69 40, and to another
man the next day declaring himself to be in favor
of 49.
We have a great deal to say in relation to this
subject. But the public may rest assured that
the chances now are?from the direct intrigues
of the administration in Mexico, and those of
ccrtain Senators at home?that there is every
probability the treaty will be defeated, and that
the annexation of all Mexico to the United
States, or a continuation of the possession of
that country, will be made the prominent question
in the next Presidential contest.
Improvement of William Streit.?Amongst
the numerous improvements that are to be made
in the lower part of the city, daring the ensuing
summer, the most important one may be considered
that of widening William street from
Fultoc street to Frankfort, and opening it from
that point in a direct line to Chatham street,
entering the latter between No*. 37 and 47, a
short distance below the junction of Chatham
and Chambers streets. In carrying out this work
of reform, it is intended also to amend th? grade
of William street in the vicinity of Frankfort,
by raising it two feet six inches, so as to remove,
in a great measure,the disagreeable hollow which
at present exists there.l
The first demonstration of improvement made
in this stieet, was that of tearing down a number
of low and dilapidated frame buildings, situated
on the west side, between Fulton and
John streets, and occupied principally as thread
and needle stores, toy shops, itc., which gave
place to that magnificent block of stores known
as the Washington buildings. These were set
considerably back of the old line, so as to increase
the width ot the street to about forty
or forty-five ieet. Before the erection of these
stores had been completed, an application was
made to the Common Council to have the street
made of corresponding width from Maiden lane
to Frankfort street, and thence cut through to
Chatham s reet, as before stated, which was
carried, and the assessment list confirmed by the
Supreme Court. In contemplation of the vast
benefits to be derived from this improvement,
owners of property in William street, as low as
Beaver, also in Liberty street, Maiden lane,
Piatt street, John street, Fulton, Ann, and other
cross streets to a considerable distance
east and west, consented to be heavily assessed
The next step in the progress of this
work, viz., that of widening the street between
Maiden lane and John street, so as to bring
the front in a line with the Washington
buildings, and those below Maiden lane,
was commenced in August last, when several
buildings of shabby appearance were taken down
and elegant stores erected in their stead, while
new fronts were built to those of more modern
construction. And in accordance with the action
of the Common Council, the work of widening
the street between Fulton and Frankfort
Btreets, also opening the street in a direct line to
Chatham street, is to commence on the 1st of May
next.
When the improvements shall have been completed,
William street will become'one ot the
greatest public thoroughfares in the city, and
will have a tendency to relieve Nassau street and
the lower part of Broadway?nor will that street
l>e confined as a thoroughfare to pedestrians; a
line of omnibuses will soon run along this
route to the Exchange, fcc. Under these cir
euimtances, is it not advisable, and eventually
an a matter of economy, to put down the
Rush or similar pivement, along the new section
of William street, inasmuch as new materials
of some kind would necessarily have to be
procured for paving it 1 This must be more evident
when it is considered that the owners of
the property through which the new street is to
pass,on Monday last applied to the Common Council
to have a sewer constructed therein, so that
further disturbance of the street would not be required,
perhaps for years to come,should the pavement
on the Russ plan be adopted. Nor should
the owners of property in Frankfort street neglec'
so favorable an opportunity of widening that
>treet from Chatham to William.
The buildings on the north side, for half the
listance, are to be taken down next month, and
i spacious hotel built on the ground; while ths
remaining distance is covered with a lew old
irame buildings that are ready to tumble over;
10 that the widening of the street could be carried
into tfl-jct without unv sacrifice beyond the
valuo of the ground itself, which, of course,
would be nearly covered by assessing other jarties
benefitted by the proposea improvement.
TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE
ummarjr.
The proceedings in Congress, yesterday, were
somewhat interesting. In the Senate, an animated
discussion arose on a motion to amend
the California claim bill, so bb to relieve Co).
Fremont of certain responsibilities. No final
action, however, wan taken on the subject. In
the House, the correspondence between the
Secretary of War and Gen. Scott, was received
and ordered to be printed. A bill to repeal the
act giving the Pres dent discretionary power to
retain old or new generals, at the termination of
the war, was introduced, and excited a spirited
discursive debate. A motion to lay the bill on
the table waB promptly negatived, and it will
accordingly come up in order to-day.

that name, written by Victor Huso, we beliera. It is
on* of the most exciting:, and indeed palclully interesting
atorles, that we have ever read, and ons which, from
the nature ofthe story, is well oaloulatad for stage effect.

the reformed bell ringer, (Quasimodo) aoted with much
feeling, and Til ton, the prieat, was equally effective. The

great exertions Mr. Hamblln Is making to sustain the
legitimate drama In first-rate style, will bo doubt prove
successful, at least they have uone so thue far, in an
eminent degree. To night, the very favorite opera of
the ' Bohemian Girl" will be performed; and " Esmeralda"
will also be repeated.
Chatham Theatre.?The crowded state of this

oess attendant on the exertions of Cbanfrau, the manager

great, is not the only one at the Chatham, as the stook
company there Is a most capital one. Little Miss Dnnin
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Boeth, Messrs, Hield, Winans, Tardey,

full Justice to any thing they undertake. Last night,
for instance, " The Brigand" was performed in floe style,

Philadelphia. She aohleTed a new ti iumph, and surpiascd
her former aelf. Her voice waa full of passionate
energy, and prodaoed great effect, by the truthful style
in whioh she proceeded during the whole eonoert
The oavatin* of " Beatrioo di Tends," which she first
?ung, was rendered by her with a skill, a grace, and a
brio whieh were generally appreciated by the whole assembly.
We like to aee the people of New York give
due oredit to Signora Biscacoiantl, for she deserves it;
and either a " native " or not, the ranks now among the
oest artist) we have beard in Nevr York. Really, in that
piece of " Beatrice," Btsoaecianti's inimitable ceiandi,
?nd the silver, exquisite olearneas of her upper notes, oarried
the whole house, and gTeat applause was lavishly bestowed
upon her, witb acoompaminent of fragrant nosegays
and sweet bouquets. The " List Rose of Summer"
was also one of the great features of the ooncert
There is in that melody a certain sadness of expression,
whioh demands great ability to be rendered, and a peculiar
taste to have it well understood. Madame Damoreau
Cinti was the first singer in whom we acknowledged
the grace of Moore's compositioi : but, last evening,
we find a rival to Cinti ; this was Signora Biscacoiantl.
There were the same tune, the same faeility in the
vocalisation, and the same feeling given to each word
The cavatina of " Linda di Chamouni" waa another excellent
pieoe. It is written by the oomposer to make
the singer display the flexibility of her voice, in leaving
space for the rouladei and ptrteii de voix. It was
also oharmingly understood and rendered by the
bineficiairt, as well as the two first melodies
Sgoor rerelll comes next under our pea, and oritlcism
would be superfluous. We were highly pleased with the
progress he had made in health, voice and atyle aince
wa last beard him,whilst engaged with the Havana oompany.
The aria from " Roberto d'Evereux," allowed
Signor r ta express the sentiment of bis musloal genius
under all its shapes Signor P. is not only an exoellent
singer, bnt ia also an accomplished mnslolan, a oompos*r,
a masstro, and it Is said, tmre amis, that hia compositions
ars as good as his method, which, in our view,
belongs to the b'st sohool of Italy. The eulogy we
bestow upon upon this gentleman will partially
apply to Signor Novelli, whose batso voice is deep as an
abyss, sounding as a gong, and onltivated with taate
and real knowledge of the art of aiaglng- The aria
from the ' Bravo," and that of " Somnambnla," were
reoeived with great oheering by all the dilettanti ?
The two terzettt, which terminated each part, that of
" Anna Bolena" and that of " Attila," were rendered
with a perfect entemble and justness of intonation
Among the performera of this concert waa a young lad,
a pupil of tbe talented meaatro, Signor Rapettl. This
youth plays on the violin with a remarkable dexterity,
und gives great hope for his future in the musloal world
He is now a living eulogy of hia able instructor Maater

Laiy Sutton and bl. h. Black Hawk, mile hsnts, best
three in five, to 360 lb wagons, took place at the Union
Course, L.'I, and was won by the black horse after (our
closely contested heats.
The number of spectators was greater than was ever
before seen at a trotting mateh on Long Island, and
was variously estimated at from fifteen hundred to two
thousand persons, all of whom appeared, at the olose,
well satisfied with the entertainment thay had witnessed.
In faet, everything that could in any way tend to their
comfort, had been provided by the proprietor of the
course. Lothian's celebrated band, too, was In attendance,
and their spirit-stirring musio conduced not a
little towards enlivening the gay soene.
This mateh was ma4e many months since, and large
amounts have been wagered from time to time on the

Aid Miiiekole said that they all knew he was not
in favor of paying large salaries; but he knew tha duties
of thij offloa would be very ardu us. and he was desirous
of giving this officer a fair compensation; he would,
therefore, move to amend the resolution by tubstitutlng

Aid. Lawhickci said it was an office of great importanoe,
and the offloer performing the dutiea of it ought
to be liberally paid. He thought $1000 waa a email salary
tor so responsible an offlse.

$1500 ahould be substituted for $750, which waa pat and

The following preamble and resolution were then offered
: ?
" Whereas, the time has come when it is'actually necessary
that more room for the oourta and offices should
be provided; and whereas the judges of the courts have
from time to time called on the Common Council and
the Board of Supervisors for suoh oourt rooms, aud the
Board of Aldermen have unanimously resolved that the
building called the Old Alma House should be altered to
make such offloes and court rooms ; and it being a
doubtful polloy. at the present time, to make an addition
to the present City Hall; and It it ahould bo concluded
to make such addition, it would yet be necessary that
said oourta should be accommodated immediately; therefere,
" Resolved, That the Board of Assistant Aldermen be
t> quested to conour in the resolutions passed by the
Board of Aldermen, August 2d, 1847, and should the
same be conourred in, that the oommittee ou publio
otlioea and repairs carry the same into effeot without delay
"
Aldermen Matisaei.k and Mavnard opposed the resolution.
and the latier moved to lay it on the table
Aid Kkllt said the time was not yet oome to expend
$400,000 on rebuilding or making an addition to the
City Hall; that question must be decided at the ballotbox.
The people have something to say on this suhjeet.
He was not sure, if that question waa brought up, that
the people would not require to have the City Hall built
farther uptown. Additiaual courts were certainly required,
and they should be provided. The Board of
Aldermen passed a resolution unanimously on the 2 ad of
A.ugust last to appropriate $10 O(J0 for this purpose, and
be did not see why this Board should now throw cold
water on itThe
motion to lay on the table waa then put and carried,
after which the Board adjourned.
