SUNDA.Y, JULY 13, 1846.
A New Name for an Old State. —It is
a fact, New York has a provincial sound to it,
which is offensive. The Empire State of this
great confederacy should have a designation
other than it bore when it was a province.
New York —named after a duke of the then
reigning house of England, called new to dis
tinguish it from old York, which, in territorial
extent, population, intelligence, and enterprize
is to our State what a minnow is to a whale!
New York, which is a trifle larger than the
whole island of England; whose one great
river is longer, and deeper, and broader than
any five rivers in the United Kingdom com
bined ; whose canals freight from the inland
seas to the Atlantic, the wealth of a region of
country, unexplored when our serf-like ap
pellation was given ; whose railroads mark the
line of flourishing cities, towns, and villages,
built almost within our own remembrance, in
the wilderness ; whose lightning telegraph
springs from the centre to either border! New
York, which is an empire in everything else, to
be provincial in name ! And this, too, when
old Niagara —our own Niagara—everyway em
blematic of the energy and resistless force of
our people, is ready to baptize us anew at his
awful font, give us his own name, and with his
thunder voice proclaim it to the world !
French Interference in the Mexican
Business.—lf the French Government should
insist, on taking a part in this little Mexican
affair which we have on our hands, as the tone
of the official journals indicate she will, and
England, well-pleased with the quiet settlemenl
of the Oregon question, and the prospect of a
. reduced Tariff, which will be so greatly to the
advantage of her trade and manufactures, should
decline to interfere, the results might be of a
character little anticipated either in Europe or
America.
Jean Crappau may be too cunning to com
mit himself in this business unless assured of
the support of England, but if, unfortunately
he should get fairly into it, and a war should be
the consequence, how old John Bull would
shake his ponderous sides to see the work of
destroying the French Navy transferred from
him to Brother Jonathan. The Piince d’Join
ville’s war steamers, and the Prince d’Joinville’s
celebrated pamphlet, which have caused the
British Government so much alarm, and induced
such an increase of its naval power, all quietly
passed over to the United States for examina
tion and settlement. It would be a tough fight,
but we would get the best of it, and in less than
two years there would be but little left of the
fresh water sailors of France; England would
put half her vessels in ordinaty, and her Gallic
neighbor commence again a naval establishment,
only to see it again destroyed by this country or
Great Britain, whenever a conflict with either
ensued. The French have improved a good
deal in gunnery, but their natural and uncontrol
able propensity to hop about like cats or mon
kies, is fatally destructive of discipline, and of
course, of efficiency on ship-board.
The Fireworks and those who saw
■Them. —In the way of description, especially
where the subject is susceptible of a little pol
ish, sentimental exaggeration, or as the artists
say, high coloring, we know of no newspaper
writer who can approach within “ several
streaks ” of City Items, Esquire, of the Tri;
bune. We made one of the hundred thousand
mortals who thronged the Park on Tuesday
night, to see the 4th of July fireworks ■ and we
did intend to essay, in our feeble, imperfect
manner, a description of the magnificent exhi
bition. But the article leading the local news
in Wednesday’s Tribune brought us to our
senses. We threw down our pen in disgust,
seized the scissors, and amputated the fol
lowing :
“ Sometimes a single rocket would spring up
like a fiery snake, hissing and twining in the
air, and then suddenly change into a flock of
builerflies with gold and azure, crimson and
- purpitr vrm o u, ......... . -
earth—anon would rush- up a straight arrow,
leaving its thin track pencilled upon the air,
and all at once blossom into a magnificent bou
quet of star-flowers, bright blue and emerald,
green and the divinest pink, such as eye of
beauty never before gazed upon. Then, before
you could say ‘ how beautiful !’ would soar
away before you a swarm of golden bees, as if a
constellation were astray, and seeking some
brighter home.
“ But all these were only the preludes to the
glorious and lavish wealth of fiery beauty that
now leaped like gigantic living flowers from the
dry trunks and pasteboard branches of those
skeleton-looking trees, planted a few hours ago
in the marble soil of the piazza. The skyward
faces of the vast crowd changed under the bright
Ig'at as if the spirit of color were abroad, and
some mad Puck had stolen his wand, to scatter
unwonted rainbows wherever he listed. The
gorgeous and many-tinted flames now whirling
rapidly as a poet’s dreams, and anon bursting
out into a grand crash of light, drowned the voice
of the music, which seemed to have caught fire
with its own wild energy, and gone up to hea
ven on its rainbow colored clouds of burning
sound. The old trees behind whose interwovt n
branches these brilliant beings were bore, seen, J
ed the priests of the mystic rite, and stood
bathed in a sea of radiance, which, like Words
worth’s moon behind the elm (no man e’er had
so beautiful a moon as Wordsworth.) wow lire
which burned yet consumed not.”— City Items,
Esq., Tribune of Wednesday.
It is not possible to add anything to the
above; the passage extracted is perfectly intel
ligible, we hope ; if it is not, the reader will be
kind enough to seek satisfaction in the proper
quarter.
And now one word with reference to the
great mass of humanity which filled the Park.
There is an impression abroad that New York
is a very wicked place, full of the worst kind
of sinners, drunkards, and ruffians. Up in the
country the good people are in the habit of hav
ing an anxious meeting of prayer, whenever one
of the rustics resolves upon seeking his fortune
.in New York. Affectionate friends gather
around, and ply the young adventurer with
scraps of morality, old precepts, and shrewd
cautions—all kindly designed for his protection
when he is among the Ishmaelites of the great
city. We don’t object to the custom, and only
.allude to it to show what a bad character the .
city has in the country. ' In the Park, on Tues
day night, there were at least one hundred
thousand persons of all classes, from the hign
est to the lowest, (we use this last word in a |
neutral sense,) and yet there was the most care- ,
ful observance of all the rules of decorum.
When we stood in the very midst of the crowd, !
no coarse epithet, no vulgar oath was heard. 1
We did not see a single drunkard, nor was there J
the slightest disposition to create confusion or
tumult. The good nature and patience mani
fested by all, in the unavoidable delay at the 1
gates, were very unlike the indecent haste and
disregard of the comfort of others, which we
have more than once witnessed in fashionable
hotels on the giving of the signal for dinner.
In short, this immense assemblage dispersed
without the occurrence of a single unpleasant
event, and we regard the fact as strong proof of
what we have always maintained, that there is
not in the wide world a city whose population
is more directly under the control of the laws
of good breeding and courtesy than the popu
lation of the city of New York.
On the 4th of July, the Commander of the
British forces in Canada, being in this city, was
invited to partake of tho hospitalities of one of
our militia generals and heroes. The distin
guished guest, it is whispered, was treated to
several patriotic speeches, in which the military
superiority of Jonathan over John was distinct
ly asserted 1 Marryatt complained in his book
of similar treatment, in this city. On the 4th '
of July, 1537, he was invited to the Corporation '
punch drink, where poor, dear Dickey Riker •
“Yankee Doodled” for over one hour. The '
propriety of such vaunting, is rather question- 1
able. I
F Mrs, Judsou ( Fanny Forrester) who sailed
yesterday from Boston for Burmah, left behind
a collection of village tales and sketches which :
are to be published with a portrait of the author. ]
We are desirous of seeing the portrait. Some
say that Fanny is young and beautiful; others,
that she is—ahem and not so beautiful.

The Candidates for the Papal Chair.
The death of Gregory XVI., noticed in the let
ter of our London correspondent, which the
reader will find in another column, and the
anxiety and speculation which exist even in
3 this country, as to the successor, induce us to
’ sketch briefly the history of the most promi
nent candidates for the chair of St. Peter.
1 The Cardinal who is said to have the Aus
trian interest in his favor, is Giustiniani, the
1 Cardinal Bishop of. Albano. He is about 68
years of age, of the purest character and highest
moral worth, and possessed of great liberality
of sentiment. His influence has been used to
rescue the- unfortunate men who have been
drawn into the revolutionary movements of the
day, from the extreme severities of the law.
He is much respected but has not the interest
of the Cardinal Secretary of State.
Cardinal' Franzoni, a Genoese, of noble birth
and once, the rarest scholar of his age, has the
influence of the Cardinal Secretary of State in
his favor. Franzoni, has long held the office of
Prefect of the Propaganda in Rome, where he
has been much beloved, and his lately apparent
mental failure, has excited deep sympathy in
the breasts of his many admirers. He is now
74 years of age, bodily vigorous for that advanc
ed period of life, and occassionally giving out
scintilations of the high intellectual faculties
he once possessed. France, is strongly opposed
to his election to the chair of St. Peter.
Cardinal Acton, was born at Naples, in the
year 1802, the third son of Sir John Acton Baro
net, and brother to the late, and uncle to the
present Bart, of Alderham. Sir Frederick
Acton, was a Knight Grand Cross of the Bath,
and General in the British army, in which he
served during the peninsula war under the
Duke of Wellington. Cardinal Acton, was so
celebrated for learning, that at the age of twenty
three, he was appointed judge of the Camera
ri a,'the high~crvrl com I of Ruuie. —Some y goxs
after his judicial appointment, he was raised to
the rank of Monsignori, and a few years since
was appointed to the Cardinal’s hat. In favor
of Acton’s appointment to the papal chair, may
be reckoned the influence of France, Ireland,
Naples, Tuscany, Bavaria, and such portion of
the Prussian Catholic States, as have a voice in
th6 sacred college.
Election of Pope.—The number of Cardi
nals in whom the election of the Pope is now
vested, is 57. Twenty days being given after
the death of the late Pope, for the assembling
of the whole body of the sacred college, and
to appoint the civil and military authorities for j
the government of the Papal Slates. The Cardi
nals, each having a servant with him, are
locked up in a suite of apartments in the Vati
can, until they can agree upon the requisite
majority for the election of a Pope. The time
has often gone over three? weeks before the in
ducements could prevail for withdrawing the
strongest candidates. The manner of taking
the vote is this, the Cardinal writing his own
name on a slip of parchment, under that of the
candidate he proposes, the respective votes are
counted and tlurTesidt»-d«clired. until a suffi
cient number be given to elect one of the body;
when the successor to the chair of St. Peter, I
is publicly’proclaimed and the magnificent
ceremonies of inauguration and homage, are
performed.
One of the papers has been telling a story of
Miss Moncrief, the beautiful daughter of Major
Moncrief, of the British army, who served in
this country during the war of the Revolution.
Miss M. was, undoubtedly a fair spy, and pre
pared plans of the fortifications ■ in the High
lands, which plans were discovered by Col.
Burr, who took advantage of the knowledge he
obtained, to rob the young girl of her honor.
So far the writer of alluded to, is
correct, but he omits to state a fact, vouched
for, we believe, by Sparks and Dr. Thatcher,
that General Putnam unwittingly aided the
lady to a knowledge of his defences. Mis-;
Moncrief was taken prisoner near West Point,
under circumstances which indicated that cap
tivity was what she sought for, but no suspi
cions of treachery were aroused. Her beautj,
grace, and intelligence made her an object of
great HUCI auu nvrnnrnuvii
and even the rough old Put. was not insensible
to her fascinations. She resided in his family,
rambled through the lines, escorted by him,
and actually sketched the works before his own
eyes. For some time after Burr’s discovery,
Putnam refused to credit the truth of that
which was too palpable, unwilling to believe
that one so fair and gentle could stoop to so ig
noble a scheme of treachery.
Park Benjamin is coming back to New York
to commence the publication of another paper.
Of course it will have a ponderous name. Sup
pose he calls it “The Hemisphere?” He
should carry nothing less, now. When Park
passes away, we will put over his grave—
Here lies Park Benjamin,
Take warning from his fate,
A poor, weak man was he,
Who carried too much weight.
Park may object to the rhyme, as Sylvester
objected to Jonson’s, but the truth of the epi
taph he can’t gainsay.
The City Convention which met nnd orga.
nized on Monday, has done little more than de
cide on the number of the standing committees
to be appointed. To morrow, these committees
will probably be filled up. Mr. David Graham
takes a conspicuous part in the proceeding of the
body.
Our neighbor, Fanshaw, laid in, on Monday
last, forty or fifty tons of coal; the real anthra
cite, capable of producing an intense heat. He
has also had his furnaces put in first rate order,
and is now ready to accommodate his customers
with as much hot air, as they stand in need of.
Ladies and gentlemen are requested not to stand
over the gratings an unreasonable length of
time. Give everybody a chance to enjoy the
refreshing draughts of hot air which rush
through the three holes.
Unfortunate in Business.—While Ho
moeopathy here at home has been running its
head against the City Inspector's Office, and the
ugly heap of certificates of homoeopathic deaths
there, it appears, by the following item of news
by the last steamer, that hydropathy has en
countered a still greater misfortune in England,
by running its noddle against the grand jury
room. It is a bad business for both, we agree ; ;
but it is infinitely worse for the poor victimised ■
patients:—
“ Dr. Ellis, a professor ’of hydropathy*, in |
London, has been held to bail on a charge of
manslaughter, for causing the death of a patient,
named Dresser, by what is called the ‘cold
water system.’ ”
Hoboken.—Romantic Hoboken, with what
delight do we seek thy cool shades, thy quiet
forest aisles, thy river walks, where the rippleS
break in music. Now, when old Sol is pouring
his fiercest aays on the already overheated city
go we to thee, escaping from this seething fur
nace, as it were, to a new and brighter existence.
He who seeks not thee, wantonly avoids a bless
ing which he who appreciates, would not for
rich treasure forego.
We are requested to st.ite that Col. Steven
son’s command is fully made up, the men en
rolled being entirely from this city and the in
terior of the State. The President, we also
learn, has given Col. S. a commission, so that
the California expedition is duly authorized to
“go ahead.” The readers will notice the
statement of our 'Washington correspondent,
that no commission has yet been given to Col.
Stevenson. •
A celebrated actress of this city, distinguished
equally for her personal charms and profession
al talents, has, it is rumored, recently found
Place. In other words, she has married Mr.
Place, the actor, and manager of New Orleans
It will not be difficult for our readers to gue.-
the lady’s name, when when we inform them
that she is known, the country over, as a “mag
nificent woman.”
The government pays thirty dollars for the
apprehension and delivery, at any military
post, of every deserter from the army.
The Weekly Chronicle and Sporting
Register.—This fine sporting publication has,
since its enlargement, added greatly to its sub
scription list. It merits a very large circu
lation..
Bishop Doane and Dr. Tyng.— Anunplesant
■ scene.— The pulpit and the press, seem in these
■ degener de days, to be rapidly falling into public
• contempt. The nasty private quarrels of editois
1 dragged indecently before the world, which cares
> not nng about them,and the jealousies and heait,
burnings among the clergy, are not calculated to
add to the character of either press or pulpit.
The latest exhibition of the bitter, and we
fear irreconcilable feud existing in the Protestant
Episcopal church, came oft’, as the irreverent
would say, in St. George’s Church, a few days
since. The Board of Trustees of the General
1 Theological Seminary of the Church, were in
session, and the subject under consideration was
the Constantinopolitan mission, to which there
appears to be a strong opposition, of which Dr.
Tyng, the rector of St. George’s, is the leader
The reverend doctor, (we quote from the Church
man) opened his battery, not only upon the mis
sion itself, but upon the Right Reverend'the Bis
hops of South Carolina, New Jersey, and Mary
land, whom he charged with having given assu
rances of personal support to this mission if it
should be established, and not fulfilling the same!
In reply to this the Bishop of New Jersey, the
only Bishop alluded to present, subjected in re
turn, the Rev. Dr. Tyng to a most severe and
withering rebuke. He spoke of the personalities
to which Dr. Tyng had descended, and avowed
that in his statement he had omitted the part of
truth, —he showed that no such p r'F nal as
surances had been given—ho denied the fact that
such pledges had been made, &c., &c.
The Boar soon after this personal scene
adjourned to the next day, when everybody ex
pected that the two doctors would make expla
nations, after the manner of quarrelsome mem
bers of Congress—but no. Dr. Tyng the mo.
ment Bishop Doane had concluded the reading
of prayers, renewed the fight. We quote again
from the Churchman:
A Ttcrreit crating' all-he had ad ven lured-to ut
ter on the preceding day, Dr. Tyng brought for.
ward a new ch irge, evidently against the Bishop
although he did not mention the name of Bishop
Doane. He said that a Right Rev. Prelate who
resided not a hundred miles off, had, at the last
General Convention been guilty of a private in
trigue to secure a certain result, inasmuch
as that bishop had come into the House of Cleri
cal and lay Deputies, as if by the authority of the
House of Bishops,to prevail upon them to recon
sider their vote in reference to the appointment
of a bishop to the mission in Constantinople and
that no such authority could be found, from any
resolution entered upon the Journals of the House
I of Bishops, referring to page 179 in confirmation
' of the fact—all which he called “a gross imposi
tion upon the House.”
' Bishop Doane, in reply, simply referred the
Chair to page 182, where the authority was found
and then retired from the House, not resuming
his seat until nearly the close of the session, nor
deigning a reply to anything that was uttered by
the last speaker.
Dr. Tyng, however, continued his invective,
and though made to take back what he had said
did so with a very bad grace indeed. Heobserv
ed, further, that he wished to have a blister plas
ter placed upon the backs of lethargic members
of the Board, in reference to the Constantinopo
litan mission, and that he thought his plan would
draw from them more monies than had yet been
given. He here introduced a stanza from one
of the classic nielwdirtrtif IjC-
gave in a sort of Recitative, not unlike a Grc-
I gorian intonation.
“ There was a piper that had a cow,
And he had no hay to give her,
And he took his pipe and played a tune,
Consider, cow, consider
The reader will bear in mind that this elegant
language was used in a consecrated church, and.
before a large body of holy men, of tho regular
apostolic order, not one of whom uttered a re
buke. Dr. Tyng is chief among the faction of
the church, called “low’’; The Rev. Bishop of
New Jersey is one of the “ high church party.”
Dr, Tyng wanted to be Bishop of Pennsylvania ;
D. Doane objected, and, Dr Tyng believes, in
trigued againt him and in favor of the success
ful candidate, Dr. Potter. Sec ye not, oh men
of Israel how these strange things have come to
pass. Is it not plain to your eyes, and clear to
your understanding, whence cometh the milk in
the cocoa nut!
New Yorkers have the reputation of being
always civil to strangers —especially in directing
nnfl nnmhp.rs. but. the business
men, whose great thoroughfare is Nassau-street,
not unfrequently have their patience tasked by
the question, asked and answered daily—“ Will
you direct me to No. 85 Nassau-street ?”
Welsh—young Welsh—the son of Sandy, keeps
that house —a cheap eating-house, and the fame
of it has gone abroad over the whole country.
Edgar A. Poe has replied, in one of the Phi
ladelphia papers, to the attack of Thomas Dunn
English. The reply would <lq credit to the
most accomplished fish-woman of Billingsgate.
Poe announces his intention of prosecuting En
glish, and the publisher of the Mirror, for li
bel. This is really a very distressing case. If
Poe and English would settle the matter by
, personal combat, and both were to fall, the loss
to society would not be great.
A pan has been arrested in Boston charged
with taking and exposing for sale daguereotypes
of women, ala Eve. The same offence against
decency is practiced here to a considerable ex
tent. The statute directs that all offensive pic
tures seized by the police, shall be destroyed,
and the usual course is to burn them ; but with
any daguereotypes of this character, it will be
only necessary to remove the glass, and rub off
the picture, leaving the plate, like the human
heart, when a bad influence has been removed,
susceptible of purer and more beautiful impres
sions.
In the British army, instead of floggingthemen
for drunkenness, as was formerly the practice,
blisters are applied between the shoulders, the
offenders sent to the hospital and kept for a
week, on bread and water, and then allowed to
take their place in the ranks. The treament
works wonderfully well; the .blisters are found
more effectual .in drawing men back to a life of
temperance than even Father Matthew’s pledge.
Horrible. —A carman in Philadelphia bit off
the nose and a part of the right cheek of a man
with whom he was quarrelling, and on the 3d in
stant in New Orleans, William Curran being of
a ravenous disposition and thirsting for human
blood, gratified his unnatural appetite by biting
off a large portion of the nasal organ that orna
mented the human face divine of Mr. R. Par
ker.
There is a rumor, unauthenticated however,
that the government has directed an attack to
be made on the Castle of St. Juan d’Ulloa.
The naval preparations now making, have un
doubtedly reference to an attack on the Castle,
but it will not be made until late in the autumn.
A very heavy force will be required to reduce
this stronghold, and such a force cannot be
collected in the Gulf, for three months at least.
Young ladies are said to be like thieves,
inasmuch as they hook each others frocks and
each others beaux.
Field of the Reveille does not agree with the
critics who have with such rare unanimity
damned his comedy. We are not surprised a 1
his dissent from the verdict. It is a well known
fact that deformed children are the most dearh
beloved by their mothers —the more horrible
the deformity, the stronger the maternal attach
ment. Why should’nt it be so with authors ?
’The gentlemen of the long robe are likely
soon to be employed in a case of crim. con. of

this monster.

Local News.----Saturday,
A man shot.— Henry C. Marks was yesterday
morning arrested by Assistant Captain Case of
the 15th District Police under the following
circumstances. It appeared that a girl named
Ann Crusack had been hired about two months
ago as a servant by the mother of Mr. Marks—
last week according to the girls story she was
discharged without being paid her wages
Yesterday morning she went with her brother,
who is a milkman, and serves some people in
the neighborhood of Mr. Mirk’s house, with
milk; when they came to the house the girl
got out of the wagon and went up to the door
white her brother drove on to the next house to
deliver Ilirrmili..- £k. putu-r .i— r-.ii
answered by Mrs. Marks, who slammed the
door in her face, in doing so the girl’s dress was
caught between the door and casing, and she
was held fast; her brother seeing what had
happened left ais wagon and came on the stoop,
upon which the door was again opened, and
Marks came to the stoop and ordered Crusack
and his sister off, an angry altercation then en
sued between the parties, and finally Marks
pulled out a pistol and shot the man in the
back of the right shoulder—he fell and was
picked up by the passers by and conveyed to
the City Hospital where he lies in a dangerous
state. Marks was immediately arrested, sent to
Essex Market Station House and locked up.
JI man drowned for fun. — Two black scoun
drels, named Edward Gilbert and John Wilson,
threw another colored man into the dock at the
foot of Barclay street yesterday about 12 o’clock,
in the presence of a number of people, the un
fortunate man not knowing how to swim was
drowned, and although such a number of per
sons were looking.onjmt_nne_n£ them interfered
to save him, either before he was thrown in, or
whilst he was drowning. Gilbert and Wilson
were shortly after arrested, brought to the
Tombs, and locked up. The only excuse offer
ed by the fellows was that they threw him in
out of a lark, thinking that there was no danger,
and that he would get out again.

Suspicion of Stealing.—A young man named
Charles Durjei, was arrested at a Pawnbroker’s
office in Chatham street, on Friday, by Police
man Golding, who found a large quantity of

To the editor of the Sunday Dispatch:
New York, July llth, 1546.
There i* little to be said concerning theatricals
the present week. The Park closed on the night
of the 4th ; the house was crowded from the pit
to the dome, by an audience, which, but for the
fierce storm, would have been scattered through
out the city. It was the first large audience we
ever saw in the Park theatre, on a 4th of July
night. All the theatres and other places of
amusement werecrowded on that night. Twelve
thousand persons visited the American Museum
during the day and evening.
A most successful season was brought to a
close at the Bowery, on Thursday evening. A
new season will commence in a few weeks, and
we hear of contemplated additions to the already
strong and effective company at that establish
ment.
The Chatham Theatre, despite the heat of the
weather has beeu crowded every night. Miss
Anna Cruise has already become a great favorite
with the patrons of this theatre. The Chatham
is rendered delightfully cool and comfortable by
the navy ventilators which have been let in from
the roof.
The Greenwich is now doing an excellent bu
siness ; a complimentary benefit which resulted
in something more tangible than mere compli.
merit was given to Mr. Freer, the enterprising
manager of this theatre, a few evenings since ;
and on Tuesday evening,Mr. Draper who has de
voted a great portion of his life to the interests of
of the theatrical profession, and contributed not
a little to the prosperity of the drama in this coun
try, is to similarly complimented. Both the pub
lic and the profession owe him something for his
services,and we hope they will improve this occa
sion to discharge the debt.
The audiences at the Vauxhall saloon have
been large throughout the week. On Tuesday
evening,a benefit night, Mitchell and Mary Tay
lor performed in John of Paris, and hundreds
went away from the doors, unable to obtain ad
mittance. The season at Vauxhall will be a very
succesful one.
The great event of the week, at Niblo’s, was
the the first appearance of Mdlle. Blangy. The
lady is young, has a neat foot and a pretty an
kle, end dances well, but she does not approach
Auguste either in grace, precision or agility.—
The French papers are enthasiastic in their
praise of her, but French enthusiasm, as we all
know, is easily excited, especially when the mer
cury is running up. M. Placide’s benefit was well
attended. He is re-ingaged-and last night per
formed with Burton, also engaged to a very large
audience.
This evening, at Castle Garden there will be
another of the series of concerts of sacred music.
These delightful entertainments draw large au
diences on every Sunday evening.
The Slomans are giving concerts in Nash
ville.
Madame Pico gave a concert in Hartford on
Tuesday evening. The Ethiopians are singing
in the same city to crowded audiences.
De Meyer is frightening the people of Pitta

The Hutchinson Family are on their way
home. They left Liverpool in the steamer of
the 4th.
Chatham Theatre.—-Notwithstanding the
heat of the weather and other causes, this
beautiful theatre is nightly crowded with
enthusiastic auditors. The performances are
now equal to any in the country, and to
give new strength the managers have secured
Mr; A. W. Fenno, who at this moment stands
as high in public estimation as any actor
in New York—with a finished education—a
thorough knowledge of his profession, no man
is more calculated to maintain his position as
a universel favorite. He makes his first appear

in “Ben the Boatswain,” and “Capt. Absolute,”
in “The Rivals,” Miss Cohen, the favorite
danseuse, having returned from her eastern tour,
also appears as “ Palmyra,” in “ Ben the Boat
swain,” and in a favorite dance. Mr. Johnston,
also enacts “ Mark Red riff,” in the last named
drama. Miss Anna Cruise, the distinguished
vocalist, sustains the part of Lydia, in the

Four Germans, two females a man and a boy,

positions. We charge nothing for this notice.
Mr. Murdoch. —The Cincinnati News says :
“ Murdoch closed a tolerably successful engage
ment at the National last Friday night, and is
now on his way East. He is a fair actor, with
mucKmore cultivation than genius; and in these
times of histrionic degeneracy, does very well
to fill up a vacuum. We shrewdly suspected
that this actor, who has very suddenly jumped
into a reputation quite too large for his intellec
tual breeches, is more indebted to the indis
criminate praise of a good natured Press, for his
success, than to any remarkable ability with
which he has been gifted. He has gone up like
a rocket—He bad better be careful, that he
does not come like a stick.”
Imitate our example, and you may shake your
fist at the fiery ball overhead, and defy it with
impunity. Rise early—at 5 o’clock at the latest
—cross the East river at Fulton ferry, and
swim for ten or fifteen minutes in Gray’s new

same place; it is most refreshing and will give
you new strength to resist the heat of the day
Avoid drinking too much cold water, don’t al

down of the sun.
Anecditzs of the Army.—One of the
clever correspondents <f the Spirit of Times
relates the following anecdotes, which will
amuse our ret de .-s :
“The veteran R. was ensign of a Rifle Regi
ment, during the war of 1812. On one occa
sion he was on an outpost in Canada, with a
party of his men; he dressed in something like
uniform, but his men in nondescript citizens’
dress. The men having laid down their arms
in a house by the roadside, were lounging at
leisure, when along came a British official of
high rank, and a few attendants, with the bit
of white rag denoting a flag of truce. R ap
proached to salute him, when he of the red
coat asked his name, ‘ Ensign R. of the U. S.
Rifles,’ upon which red coat hauled down his
flag, and said, * Sir, you are my prisoner’’ and
ordered his escort to capture him. ‘Oh, by
* if that’s your game, Mr. John Bull, I’m
up to your flag of truce ! Hallo, boys, to arms,
turn out here!’ Scarce hud the stentorian
voice resounded from the road, when out sal
lied some twenty American riflemen, and the
British officer and his suite were conducted into
camp as prisoners of war.
“ The veteran L. went with a flag of truce to
the British lines, in Canada, in the war of 1812,
and having arrived at head-quarrers, was invited
to dine at the officers’ mess. After the cloth
was removed, there were sundry toasts drank ;
finally, a British officer proposed to L. a bum
per, (to which L. filled, of course,) and gave
‘ The President of the United States, dead or
alive.' To which L. drank, after a moment’s
pause, and then in turn proposed another bum
per; he gave ‘ The Prince Regent, (subse?
quently Geo. IV.) drunk or sober.’ This the
British officer refused to drink to, but on the
president of the mess signifying that the retort
was a fair one, he swallowed it off.
“ Gen. 8., who afterwards commanded the
army, was a brigadier of militia in the war of
1812, and when the British landed at Sackett’s
Harbor, the militia forces fled. B. seeing that
all hopes of further stand was gone, mounted a
fence, and roared out to his men, ‘ If you x will
run, take the right-hand road!’ This road
forked a little back of the town —one went to
the right, along the lake shore, near the British
boats, the other led to the back country. The
flying troops obeyed the prompting—and the
enemy seeing them rushing to the lake shore,
thought they must be attempting to cut oft’their
access to the boats, whereupon they took to
their boats, and relieved the place.
“This event first called the attention of go
vernment to 8., who subsequently received a
major-general’s command in the army.”
In Mississippi, they indict loafers and idlers.

“ 0 for a draught of cooling northern air to

The land graduation bill, from the Senate,
was debated to-day in Ihe House by Messrs.
McDowell, Vinton, Rathburn, Adams, of Mass.,
and others. The vote on engrossing the bill
was—yeas 84 ; nays 98—and the bill was reject
ed. A motion to re-'consider was immediately
made, and prevailed by the casting vote of the
Speaker. The House then adjourned. I think
the bill will become a law.
The Senate was this morning in Executive
Session. Next week the tariff bill will be taken
up.
The gossips are at fault about Mr. Buchanan.
Some say that he is “right loth to go” out of

Stevenson has not as yet received a commis

enterprize, which the Union officially repudi
ates, is on its own hook. I learn that Dixon
has written a very severe letter to Mr. Ritchie,
for “ attempting to defeat the noblest enterprize
of the 19th century.” Dixon is expected here
in a few days, to call the official editor to
account.

Saratoga Springs, July 9, 1846.
The weather for the last few days has beer,
truly delightful. Rockwell & Stone’s Circtis
was here on the 3ji and fourth—quite a little in
cident occurred during the performance on the
evening of the fourth—Levi North during his
performances chose to display a little more vul
garity while in woman’s apparel, than was
deemed allowable by the highly respectable
audience present; the result was he was hissed
out of the ring instanter. During the evenings
of the 3d and 4th there were full 4000 persons
in attendance, and the proprietors of the con
cern, no doubt, reaped a golden harvest. Two
of the most popular hotels, the United States
and Union Hall, are filling up fast, at the fortnet
dancing has been introduced, and those fond ol
sporting the “ light fantastic toe” have been
busily employed for the past two nights in get
ting up hops in its spacious parlors. Among
the beautiful figurantes here I notice the lovely
Miss S. of Boston, and the charming Miss L. ol
our good city; indeed our city is well repre
sented here. On the 7th and Bth there were
upwards of sixty arrivals from New York city,
who entered their names at the United States
Hotel, besides fifteen or twenty more who pul
up at the i arixs hotels.
I had a hearty laugh in the Bowling Saloon
attached to the United States , otel on Tuesday
afternoon. There was a large party of gentle
men present, two of whom, strangers to each
other, on completing their games, fell into a
quarrel about the possession of a beautiful black
dress eoat. “It is mine,” cried one. “ His
mine,” maintained the other. “ I can tell that
coat among a thousand,” urged the first; “ and
so can I,” shouted the second. At this stage of
proceedings several of the bystanders interfered
to prevent what threatened to be rather an
unpleasant scene The disputants were called
upon to explain, and the first gentleman de
clared that though his name was not on the
coat, he knew it because only cne man could
make a garment like it.” “ And for that veiy
reason I know it, interposed the second party.
“Who made your coat ?” “Mr. Wheeler ol
No. 96 Broadway, New York.” “ Why, he
made mine too!” was the rejoinder. At this
junctuie, the missing twin garment was found,
and on examining both, the names of their re
spective owners were found written underneath
the collars on the inside, though neither of the
gentlemen knew it before. So the dispute was
happily settled, and everybody laughed at the
ludicrous incident. It certainly is remarkable
that distinctive marks of artistic grace and
skill, can be so palpably impressed on a gar
ment, as to lead to an occurrence of this kind.
Mr. Dempster previous to his departure for
Europe will honor the “ Springs” with a visit —
at least so says one of our little dailys. From
the style of the notice I fear Dempster has
fallen into the same error, which that renowned
humbug Templeton committed when he at
tempted to diddle the yankees out of their cash,
“a la Ole Bull,” but there is one thing in
Dempster’s favor, there is no Tribune City
Editor here to administer or compound the
nauseating doses of egotism which proved so
fatal to the cracked voice of the one, and soft
head of the other.
The 4th passed off gloriously—there never
was a more beautiful day for such an occasion.
First, we have had the Circus —then there
was the Troy Citizens Corps, as fine a body of
men as you would wish to see, who pitched
their tents near the “ big cloth house” (as some
of the country boys called the Circus tent), and
who were employed marching and counter
marching during the day, nor was the band that
accompanied them idle—the brazen throats ol
their instruments “ discoursed most excellent
music.” Last, but not least, was the beautilul
flowers, cultivated and nourished by the sup
porters of the Presbyterian Sabbath School; the
children from the upper village formed in pro
cession and came down to the Presbyterian
Church, where they were joined by those in the
lower village, and after listening to an.eloquent
address they all formed and marched off to a
grove about a mile distance, where an elegant
repast was furnished for them. To me it was
the most beautiful and interesting occurrence ol
the day. The children by their quiet and
cheerful deportment certainly deserved aU
praise. ‘No accident occured during the day to
mar the happiness of any, and the glorious
Fourth passed away leaving all here in peace
and happiness.
On the 3rd one of the Circus riders was
slightly hurt by a horse.

London, June 18th, 1346.
To the Editor of the Sunday Dispatch:
The aspect pf political affairs in England is
looked ifpon by the Liberals as highly encoura
ging. The all absorbing question of the “Corn
laws” has been discussed with great animation in
the IJouse of Lords—the Dukes of Buckingham,
and Richmond, and Lord Stanley taking the lead
in opposition to the measure. Two amendments
have been lost on divis.on, and the firmest hopes
arc entertained that the bill, will be speedily made
the law of the land. The receipt of the news of
the engagements before Melamoras has created a
strong sympathy in England in favor of the brave
little American army ; the dispatches of General
Taylor, have met with the just admiration and
praise thei r manly simplicity and. modesty have
so fully merited. The war itself, is here univer
sally considered as aggressive, and quite unneces
sary ; and is much decried by the English journal
Many of them assert, that Great Briiain in con
junction with France, and some other countries—
will interfere to terminate it as soon as possible .
whether the United States will admit this interpo
sition in her affairs remains to proved. The
papers are taken up in discussing the conduct of
Sir Robert Peel, who seems to fill the most ano
molous situation that man ever held as a Prime
Minister, —he is supported by a portion of his for
mer friends, from their fear of a more radical lea
der supplying his place : whilst those who come
to his aid, in carrying his measures of ‘free trade’
would be the first to delight in the overthrow of
his political power. France seems quiet, the mi
nisterial journals have come out against the Mex
ican war, and declare that she must preserve the
integrity of that republic. Paris is quite dull, all
the fashionable families having left for the Rhine,
and the sea coast. Some serious “recon Ires have
taken place between‘the French troops and the
natives of Otaheite ; the refractory natives have
been supplied with ammunition by the English and
American missionaiies ; several cases of which
having labels upon the top. Ibrahim Pasha after
being magnificently entertained and feted in Paris,
has arrived here, where he and his suite of forty
persons, have taken up their residence at one of
the principal hotels. His highness has been re
ceived by the Ministers, and the principal nobility
and Prince Albert, has accompanied him to a re
view of the “ Household Brigade” &c. Ibrahim
and the Prince Louis Napoleon,have been sharing
the curiosity of the Londoners.
In Spain, fears and doubts fill every mind, and
these combined with the disputes on the right to
the young Queen’s hand engage all the attentions
of the public. The festivities of “Corpus Christi’’
were partly interrupted by the news of the death
of the Pope, which created a great sensation in
Madrid, prayers were ordered in all the churches
for the election of a worthy successor to the papal
chair and all the Theatres were ordered to be shut
for nine days. No news of importance has tran
spired connected with Germany, Prince Metenichs
incressing {age and infirmities have caused ’the
Austrian government great anxiety for the appoint
ment of a successor of this extraordinary man.—
The present Emperor is all but au idiot, and fears
seems to be great that the minister’s death will be
the signal fora revolutionary movement.
The correspondent of the Post in a letter pub
lished this morning, states that the Empress of
Russia has earnestly interceded with Nicholas,her
husband for a general amnesty for Russian Poland.
IfXrue, and I am inclined to credit it, I very much
fear that the intercession of the amiable consort
of the Autocrat, will be of little avail. Nicholas,
although in his home circle a most kind and indul
gent man, is very little under the domestic in
fluence in the government of his empire.
In Italy, all the small states are in a most un
settled condition, with the exception of Tuscany,
which is tranquil. The King of Sardinia, who
headed the revolutionary movement when Prince
Carignan, against his uncle, in the year 1824 ;
and who has since that time been the most unmi
tigated tyrant, now sees the probability of a gen
eral movement, and has put forward emissa.ies
who name him as candidate for the kingdom of
Italy. His competitors are, however, too strong
for him, and Austria will fight lustily for the re
tention of Lombardy. In the midst of a most tur
bulent epoch in the Roman States, P. pe Gregory
the Sixteenth has breathed his last. Cardinal Ca
pellari was chosen Sovereign Pontiff in Janua y,
1831—and, however his political sentiment in fa
vor of the pretenders to the Spanish and Portu
gese thrones may have met with disapproval, yet
his pure and simple life had endeared him to all
who knew him. lie was prior of a Franciscan
monastery, and preserved to the day ®f his death
the habit and simple regimen of his order. The
Cardinal Secretary of State, Lambruschini, a m?n
of vigorous mind and austere manners, is said to
have the election of the new Pope in his own
hands. He is too politic to take the Chair of Sr.
Peter himself when he can possess the whole
powers without the responsibility. Cardinal
Franzoni, vho is more than seventy years of age,
is talked of as the probable successor of the late
Pope. This worthy and most learned man has
been for some years intellectually failing ; and
France, feeling the danger of his accession to the
Papal throne, is using all her endeavors to avert
it. The next candidate named, is an Englishman
by birth—Cardinal Acton, a man of high educa
tion, scarcely fifty years of age. The cardinal is
a member of a very old English fam ly, the ne
phew—it is said—of Sir Frederick Acton, one of
the Peninsula generals. The reasons for nominat
ing Act. n, to the papacy, arc said to bo the hopes
of bringing England again within the pale of the
Church, and the number of conversions of the most
influential persons to the Catholic faith. Lam
bruschini does not like this nomination and will
use his influence against it. Should the Cardinal
Acton’s election take place, its effects upcui Eug
Tail'd and Ireland, in the great Catholic movement
now going on, will be full of deep interest to the
“ religious world.”
The weather in London has been extremely hot
for here, although we should think nothing of it-
The thermometer has reached 87 in the shade on
two occasions, and has for a few weeks varied
from 77 to 85 degrees. Parties, notwithstanding
the heat, go on as briskly as ever. The gayest of
the season have been those of the Marquis of
Lansdowne, at which many Americans Were pre
sent to meet the Pasha; the Duke of Devonshire,
and the Duke of Sutherland, &c. It is pleasing to
hear from all those Englishmen of rank who
have come in contact with our minister, Mr. Mc-
Lean, the deep feeling of regret at his departure
from this court, and the praises of his courtesy
and urbanity.
At the Opera House, Don Pasquale, La Sonnam
bula, La Gazza Ladra, and I Puritani have been
played with the two Lablaches, Grisi, Fornasari,
Mario, Correlli and Castellan. The house has
been filled every night notwithstanding the
Queen’s absence. Drury Lane theatre has been
playing Stadella and a ballet, with the Viennese
children in their beautiful dances. The Adelphi,
under the management of Celeste, the English
Opera House with the “laughter-provoking”
Keeley’s, and the Haymarket with the Cushmans
still in “ Romeo and Juliet” draw bumper-houses
every night. Yours, etc. B. B.

COS n VEN ESS—II S CURE.
30“ MANY WELL INFORMED PER SONS SUP
POSE costiveness cannot be cured except by diet, exer
else, &c. Now, the fact is, Cosdvenesa is not capable
of being permanently removed by the greatest attention
to diet and excercise. No question but diet and exer
cise are important, as well us cold bathing, upon getting
out of bed in the morning, to aid in the cure; but they
will be all. all of no avail to cure without medicine, as
thousands know very well.
Again, it is said medidines whose action is upon the
bowels, only tend to make the case worse and worse.
L admit that all purgative medicines, save the Pills
known as Brandreth’s Pills, have that tendency. But
L i$ riot so with Brandreth’s Pills—the longer they
are used, the less, ordinarily, will be required to pro
duce effect. Long standing cases are not cured in a day
or wilhone dose. Tne Brandi eta Pilis do not cure us
‘•by magic ” —they cure bee.use they cleanse the
blood ofall impurities, and this being done, the bowels
and the secretions become hea thy and adapted fully to
perform the office nature has assigned. A entleman
cm be referred to who now lesidosin the feity of New
York, who took them every day for the years for Con
stitutional Cosliveness. lie had not for fifteen J ears
previously ever had any thingpass his bowels without
using medicine or an injection, and every year he was
confined to his bed three or four months. For five years
he took Brandreth’s Pills. And why ? Because he
found Lis bowels become stronger and stronger from
thei.- use ; and from all other purgatives he had taken,
they became weaker and weaker. In fact he found
that at first he required six, eight and ten pills to pro
duce an operation, but in a year four pills were a doze,
and before a good cure was effected, two pills were suf
ficient to produce a good evacuation. Finally, he be
came as healthy as any man; and for five years he
took the Brandreth’s Pills, and was never confined to
his bed a single day during.lhat five years.
Dr. Brandreth has v a $es every day sent to him—he
inserts one of very recent date. He can refer to rela
tions of Mr Stors, of New York, if further particulars
are required.
The cure of Dyspepsia, Palpitation of the Heart,
Consumption, Cuughs of all kinds ; Colds. Asthma,
Rheuma'ism and Small Pox, depend for their cure al
together upon the cure of Cosliveness, which invaria
bly attend'these diseases. Cure Costiveness, and you
will have health. There sno doubt of it.
CURE OF CHROMIC COSTIFEJfESS OF TWEN
TY YEARS STANDING.
Sir—This will certify that about twenty years I was
afflicted with Costiveness to such a degree that nothing
would pass my bowels for weeks at a time, and which
ultimately caused p irtial insanity. I was sorely distres
sed both bv night a.d by day, I had no quiet sleep
sometimes for weeks together, my nervous condition
was in >o ba<| a slate. The doctors cQiiid. dp nothing
for me ; ail thpir remedies inede me worse and \Y°r se -
When all hope had fled, I chanced to read an al ver
isementof Dr. Biandreth’s, arid I thcu.h from its style
tuat whoever wro.c it. bel.eved that he wrote and if
>o, he was no impostoi. I had to suffer the ridicule of
my iriends andneiglzqors Aly doctor told me, after I
had used them somotime, that he could make Pills just
like Brandreth’s : be gave me a prescription ; I took it
io the druggist, and got the pills ; they had no m< re ef
fect as physic than a piece ofchip. Not so with Bran
dreth’s Pills, they always act easily and freely. I hzve
now taken them over two years, and they seem to have
renewed the lite within me ; my intellect is c ear and
serene, and I know enjoy life equal to what 1 did twen
ty five years ago —I am now nearly fifty. Thu action of
my bowelsis now nearly restored to the healthy state
of my youth. I bless God for what he has done for me.
I pray he may bless Dr. Brandreth, the maker of Brand •
reih’s Pills.
