Sunday Morning, June 27, 1847,
Our New Head. —Having some weeks since
determined to enlarge the Dispatch, by the addi
tion of a column to each page, and a length
ening of the pages equal to nearly a column
more on each; and having effected other ar
rangements to improve our paper, according
to our motto “ excelsiorj” we determined, to
have a new pictorial head, which our readers
have doubtless properly admired. Preserving the
arms of the Empire State in the centre, our artist
has embellished them by the emblems of war and ,
peace; of arts, science, agriculture and commerce. <
On the right is a railroad train under full headway ,
—on the left a view of the open sea, with the Amer- <s
ican steamship Washington, a New York packet j
ship, with studding sails and royals, and other (
vessels in the distance. T
This head was drawn on the wood by Wade, i
engraved by J. W. Orr, and very neatly stereo
typed by Wm. Hobbs. We think it a credit to all
concerned— ourselves included.
To Readers and Correspondents.—We have been r
compelled, this week, to vary the features of our out
side pages. “The First False Step” is working up to a
point of exciting Interest, which makes it necessary to 1
hasten its completion. “ Old Hicks, the Guide,” a s
truthful narrative, will be found more interesting than '
any romance. We are sure that our readers will be both c
amused and instructed by the sketch of Life in Mexico.
“Religions of the World,” “Evenings with Tom X
Thumb,” an amusing sketch by “ Gerald,” and a variety e
of scientific, curious and humorous matter, will appear j
m our next number. j

The President’s Visit.—Amid the heartiest a
hurras, the roaring of cannon, the waving of hand- y
kerchiefs, and every other demonstration of en- t
thusiasm, which an enthusiastic people could (
—♦. jnake, dames K. Polk, President ot the United A
States, was welcomed to the great city ol New ,
York, on Friday afternoon last. i
The papers of yesterday teemed with descrip- 4
tions of the reception, which was in all respects
worthy of the city and its distinguished guest- 0
At half-past nine o’clock in the morning, the e
Common Council and their invited guests, about e:
five hundred in number —went on board the ele
gant steamer, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and pro- t i
needed to South Amboy, to receive Mr. Polk. b
About all the notabilities of thecity were onboard, y
besides many lions from otherpartsof the country, j,
such as Senator Yulee of Florida, and Senator g
Lewis, of Alabama—the army, navy, judiciary, n
press, etc., had large delegations, and the City t
Fathers, with their big rosettes, never appeared to
better advantage on an occasion of ceremony.
The Eureka steamboat, chartered by the Demo- v
ratic General Committee, and filled with the (
‘rank and file” of old Tammany, preceded the
Cornelius Vanderbilt, and the spokesman of the
Committee had the honor of slipping the first com
plimentary word into the President's ear. The 1
second address was made to him on the pier at
Amboy, by the chairman ot the Common Council '
committee; the third address was delivered in the '
saloon of the Vanderbilt, by Moms Franklin, Pre- ‘
sidentot the Board of Aidermen, and to all of these P
Mr. Polk made happy responses, although it was
plain enough to see that he was dreadfully worn a
down by the excitement attendant on his pro- 1
gress. j
The speeches over, the ceremony of introduction
commenced and was continued until the arrival of
the boat opposite Perth Amboy, when the Presi
dent presented himself on the upper deck, and t
was loudly cheered by a large number of persons <
assembled on the pier. There was also a emigre- (
gation of beautiful little girls, who manifested their t
pleasure on seeing the head of the Republic, bj T <
waving their white handkerchiefs, as the boat ■
passed. . 1
The President now began to shake hands again, 1
and the business was kept up with great spirit,
until from absolute exhaustion, he was obliged to
retire to the ladies’ cabin, where he remained until
dinner time. All this while the Vanderbilt was
making rapid progress towards the city, returning
by the route she came—outside of Staten Island.
The President did not remain at the dinner
table more than ten minutes, but laid down, and
had just fallen into a tranquil sleep, when the guns
of Fort Hamilton aroused him, and brought him
again on deck. 1
The scene now became animated in the extreme.
Several New York and New Jersey pilot boats,
, with the national flag flying from their peaks, hov
ered round the Vanderbilt, occasionally firing
guns, while steamboats loaded down with passen
gers came from the city, and with loud huzzas ex
pressed a joyous welcome.
Arrived off Governor’s Island, the fort opened
its batteries and fired twenty one guns in beautiful
style; the guns of the revenue cutters, Spanish
brig of war, and a British yacht—all anchored in
the bay, also saluted Mr. Polk—and, to add to the
thunder and increase the clouds of smoke, the can
non on the Battery opened their mouths. Then,
as the President presented himself, with his head
uncovered, in the front of the boat, there went up
from the fifty thousand persons assembled on the
Battery and in the Garden, one long, loud shout
one right down, honest, hearty yell of hospitable
welcome. It sounded pleasantly to all on board
the boat, and without doubt added to the gratifi
cation of the distinguished man whose presence
I had called it forth.
Mr. Polk was speedily passed into the. Garden,
I and there listened to a speech from the Mayor,
(speech No. 4,) to which he briefly replied, and
then the procession formed and moved up Broad
way amid the continued and enthusiastic cheer
ing of the immense throng, who lined each side of
I the street, filled every window, and covered every
point from which a view was to be obtained.—
The salutations of the ladies were gracefully and
I happily expressed in the fluttering of white hand
kerchiefs and showers of bouquets which fell from
j their fair hands and dropped into the barouche at
the feet of the President. Before the barouche
reached Union Park, it was half full of flowers.
When the route had been traversed, the Presi
dent, surrounded by the Common Council, review
ed the troops, who paid the customary salute and
were dismissed. The whole party then went over
I to the Astor House to dine, and the President was
■ soon afterwards left to the repose which the excite-
I ment and fatigue of the day rendered so necessary.
Yesterday morning the President, was up and
dressed by six o’clock, and immediately set out in
I company with the Mayor and Aiderman Purdy on
a visit to the markets. The marketmen soon re
cognised the chief magistrate and crowded around
I him with their congratulations. An old woman,
I who keeps a stand in the market, was the first to
recognise him. Stepping upto Aid. Purdy, she whis-
I pered in his ear, “Isn’t that Young Hickory 1”
The worthy Surveyor of the port gave an affirms
| tive nod, upon which she stepped in front of the
President, exclaiming “ Young Hickory—l was a
Jackson woman—wan’t I, Aiderman I Give me
your hand.” The President shook her hand
heartily, and the party passed on.
; After breakfasting with the Mayor, the Presi-
I dent received the. Boston, Charlestown and Rox-
I bury delegations, and made with them the neces-
■ sary arrangements for visiting those cities.
i From 10 o’clock until 12, he received and ex
changed salutations with a large number of citizens
H who waited upon him in the Governor’s R oom at
■ the City Hall.
At 12 o’clock the President went over to Brook
lyn, where he was received by a large concourse
of citizens with cheers, and by Mayor Stryker,
who in brief and graceful terms welcomed the
chief magistrate to the civilities arid hospitalities
■ .. of that city. At the Navy Yard, the President was
i received with all the honors due to.his rank.
Returning from Brooklyn, the President, Mayor,
Common Council, and anumber of invited guests,
H set out to visit the High Bridgf, reservoirs and
! public buildings on the Island, dining at Notvland’s,
Harlem.
j In the evening, the President, on his return from
■ this excursion, was received by the sachems of
Tammany, to whom he was introduced by the
Grand Sachem, Elijah F. Purdy, Esq., after which
the doors of the wigwam were thrown open, and a
large number of our citizens exchanged salutations
with the Chief Magistrate of the Republic.
I This morning, the President will worship at the
■ church which the Mayor attends—what church
that is we do not know. This afternoon he will
attend the Hon. B. F. Butler’s regular place of
I worship, in company with that gentleman.
To-morrow morning the President will leave for
Boston, taking New Haven and Hartford in his
way.
HCffiiGBESS of Nations.—The Sim advocates a
I Congress, in which all the great nations of the
• world shall be represented, and in which all their
! quarrels and difficulties shall be amicably adjusted.
After the Mexican war is over, we shall be ready
’ for such a Congress. The difficulties in Portugal,
I the Spanish succession, the French Dynasty, the
I wrongs of Poland and Ireland, can there be jproper-
■ ly attended to. The Emperor of Russia will doubt-
I less submit to the judgment of a candid world, his
j claimsin Poland and Circassia, as well as iris de-
signs on Turkey. England will cheerfully refer
I her relations with Ireland, India and China.
I Frahce, if the rest of us insist, will withdraw from
Algiers. We will certainly provide the Queen of
Spain with a new husband : and read i sound
moral lecture to the King of Bavaria.
| Yes—we go in for the Congress of nation"
When shall.we have it 1
Affairs of Spain.—The determination of the
king of the French to maintain the rights of his
daughter-in-law, the Duchess of Montpensier, to
the Spanish throne, is now evident and avowed. —
Their is no hope of an heir to the throne in the
line of direct succession. The young Queen, dis
gusted with her husband, now threatens to sue for
a divorce—now to make him a cardinal. She is
/ scandalized for havingfor a lover, a blufi'old gene
ral, old enough to be her grandfather. French in
fluence will be exerted to prevent a divorce—
French intrigue will endeavor to carry out in Eu
rope, the American system of annexation; and
Mr. Guizot, has had the boldness—audacity, the.
English call it—to make the following declaration:
“Be not deceived. If any great interests or any
great question arose anew in Spain and called for,
or rather recalled, our activity in that country it
would not fail to be exerted. We have noir on on
side the fact and the right. both alike. II "e shall not
fail to defend them at the proper time ; and we are
convinced that the Spanish people will be daily
more led to understand that intimacy with France
is a sound and national policy for both countries.”
Reinforcements for General Scott.—The
New Orleans Delta, of a recent date, gives us the
gratifying intelligence, that a force of five thousand
men is on its way to join General Scott. This
force consists of two thousand troops, which have
been drilling in General Cadwallader’s camp of in
struction on the Rio Grande; two thousand, very
lately at New Orleans, and about one thousand re
cruits for the old regiments of the regular army.
This will enable General Scott to push on
with a column .of ten thousand of the gallantry,
andchivalry ofathe country—as fine an army
as ever trod the earth. A large portion of this
force will be of cavalry and voltigeurs,which corps
lias within itself the three elements of cavalry, in
fantry and. artillery.
Gen. Ta.ylor, reinforced at the same time, will
push on hi.s column, by the route of Potosi, and
the two an.nies will soon plant the American flag
in the city of Mexico, to the great jod of the better’
portion of its inhabitants.
Tyree and Omoo. —Blackwood’s for June has a
review of the last of these extraordinary books,
< extending to fourteen pages, in the best style of
tb.a t world renowned magazine, in which Herman
Me Iville is called “ the pheenix of modern voy
age rs, sprung, it would seem, from the mingled
ashes of Captain Cook and Robinson Crusoe.”
Yen, while Blackwood’s admits the full extent of
the merit of these works, and of the general truth-
■ fulness of theirnarratives, itdoubts that the author
was a sailor before the mast, doubts that, his real
name is Herman Melville, or that he really has an
uncle Gansevoort, of Saratoga County, to whom
Omoo is dedicated.
To us this is amubing. Mr. Melville, the author >
ofTypeeand Omoo, is one of four brothers. The
eldest, the late Gansevoort Melville, Esq., died
Secretary of the American Legation near the
Court' .of St. James. Herman Melville is appa
rently twenty eight years old, and has been a sailor
before the mast in the Pacific; another brother,
younger, if we mistake not, Allan Melville, Esq.,
is a lawyer and examiner in chancery, in Wall
street; am I the younger brother ot the four, is
now, if we mistake not, on a whaling voyage in
rhe Indian Ocean ; and may live to write books of
voyages which willt rival Omoo.
We state these fticts thus particularly, because,
when there is so rr inch misapprehension abroad,
there is likely to be some at home.
Speculation ani> Repudiation.—lt appears that
for once the New Y ork flour speculators have done
the Bostonians. On the arrival of the Cambria,
the telegraphic line, west to Buffalo, was crammed
with messages, s taring that flour had gone up in
stead of down When this news had been sent
in a dozen messages, which going upon the princi
ple of first come I irst served, kept out all others,un
til the New Yorkers gave word and time to their
agents to sell, afr.er which truth set out on the old
race after falsehood; but we doubt if she has yet
caught up with her. The last news is, that the
Bostonians are very angry, and threaten to repu
diate.
The Police.—The excellent regulations and
thorough efficiency of the star police, man ifested
on Friday, excited universal admiration. The
Chief of Police, Mr. Matsell, attended personally
to tlhe most important arrangements of the recep
eep'tion; and his aids and subordinates, along the
whole route of the procession, performed their ar
duous duties in such a maimer as to entitle them
to the thanks of the whole community.
A Treasure for Travellers.—The new Pic
torial Guide Book, of the United States, just pub
lished by Messrs. Sherman & Smith, is the most
concise, compact, and perfect guide book, we
have ever seen. Every city and State is illustrated
—many of the drawings by Wade, and engraved
bv J. W. Orr, which is all that is necessary to say
of their excellence. The routes and distances are
correctly marked, and the map of the whole coun
try, with al! the routes of travel, is at once elabor
ate and beautiful. No traveller could have or wish
for a more valuable pocket companion.
“ Roush and Ready.”—The Washington cor
renpondent of the Pennsylvanian says, that a gen
tleman, now in Washington, “was sitting in the
tent of ‘ Old Rough and Ready’ in conversation,
when they were interrupted by the appearance of
ayoung officer,who handedtheold Generalabun
dle of newspapers.' ‘Here is one, General, that
has your name upforthePresidency.’ ‘Let mesee
it, sir.’ The old General looked at it for some
minutes, scanning it with seeming interest. ‘Take
it away, sir,’ said the old hero, gruffly, ‘ I don’t
believe in it—no one can support me who opposes
the war —he’s worse than a Mexican!”
There is reason to suposethat this paper was the
New York Evening Mirror, as it very precisely
answers .that description.
The Excise Law.—The Legislature of Dela
ware lately passed an excise law, like that tried,
found wanting, and repealed in this State. This
law provided, like ours, that the people should de
cide, in each county, for or against license. This
law has been decided by the Court of Errors and
Appeals, in that State, to be unconstitutional; and
upon the same grounds, as those upon which our
legislature repealed the law of 1845.
The Philadelphia Saturday Post, says “The
Chancslloi and all the Judges of the State, two of
■ whom are members of Temperance Societies, were
unanimous in the opinion. The ground taken by
■ the Court was that the power of making laws was
1 vested by the Constitution in the delegates of the
■ people, and by that instrument they have no right
■ to transfer this power.”
Economy.—lt seems that those who went for
Mayor Brady from motives of economy, made no
mistake after all. Mayor Brady knows how to
. provide permanent and suitable buildings, for nine
( hundred children, with their nurses, attendants,
teachers, &c., for §'25,000. As he is probably the
only man in the city who could do such a thing,
[ we move that he have the contract. An asylum
( for the apple women will be the next thing in
( order.
A Book Worth Having.—Upon a further exa
l mination of the edition of the “Treasury of Know
, ledge,” just published by James Conner & Son, we
> feel satisfied that it is at once, the most valuable
■ and cheapest book m the world. It is in three
’ volumesofabout 700 pages each, and is sold for
■ four dollars. Every public, private, and common
; school library in the state should be supplied with
1 it. Were every other.book of human knowledge
: destroyed, this single work would go far to supply
I the loss of them.
Sudden Death.—Last week we noticed at some
. length the excellent little treatise on “Magnetism
. and Clairvoyance,” by James Victor Wilson. On
Tuesday we received a courteous note from that
. gentlemen, thanking ns. for the commendation we
5 had thought proper to bestow upon his work, and
t proposing in a short time to invite us to witness
some developements of clairvoyance. On Wed
nesday morning Mr. Wilson was found dead in his
, bed, having expired of apoplexy. We can scarce
ly realize that the hand which wrote the bold,ha nd
’ some autograph before us, is in the coflin, while
3 we are penning this paragraph.
5 Intemperance.—That amiable temperance pa-
per, the Albany Reformer, says, that “ Ira Harris,
> who was elected one of the District Judges by giv
’ ing money to loafers, rowdies, etc., to get drunk
1 and vote for him, is now stopping at the Astor
’ House Groggery in New York city.”
Judge Harris is a member of the Executive Com
-1 mittee of the State Temperance Society, and the
f Reformer thinks that he has committed an awful
3 offence in stopping at the Astor House. Ifdrink
-1 ing cold water makes such an ass of a man, the
I editor of the Reformer had better return to his
s cock-tails. _____
Coincidence.—Just as the frigate Macedonian
. was leaving our shores for Ireland, with her relief
II cargo, we received the news, that the officers and
crew of the United States, the frigate that cap
tured her, had taken up a subscription on the coast
of Africa, for the same cause, amounting to $653;
1 and Commodore Reed states that it would have
s been still larger, but for the necessity of limiting
the generosity ofhis noble tars.
a Thus these ships, once engaged in a desperate
e conflict with each other, have now joined in the
r same work of mercy.
Jefferson College.—One of our subscribers
I has sent us the catalogue of this flourishing insti
? tution, at Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, and we are
r happy to notice its prosperous condition. Canons
t burg is a village, in Washington county, seventeen
njiles from Pittsburgh, and the catalogue gives us
~ a list of two hundred and forty-one students. We
' r observe that seven of the ten professors are clergy
men.
tn Short Hand.—Just as we were contemplating
of the efforts of the phonographers, a young gentleman
id by the name of Hardinge, called to show us a
chart of phonetic stenography, containing the prin
s ciples of a system, which, he declares, can be
learned in two hours, and is the best that ever was
Loss of Tire Chesapeake steamer. —On. mid
night of the ninth of June, the Lake Erie steam
boat Chesapeake, off Conneaut, ran into and sunk
the schooner Porter, and shortly afterwards sunk
herself, with the loss of several passengers. Mr.
Bradbury, of .the Cincinnati Sunday News, one of
her passengers, makes the following statement re
specting this disaster. He says:
I can prove by the best evidence, and have al
ready taken die necessary steps to prove it before
the proper tribunal:
Ist. That the collision between the steamer
Chesapeake and the schooner John Porter was tine
result of the most criminal carelessness and tho
rough contempt for human life on the part of the
officers of the former vessel. The night wasbrif'ht
—the Porter had lights both at the bow and stern,
and the Chesapeake ran into her, as a simple mat
ter of lake etiquette, just because she did not
choose to change her course, no. matter what
might come in the way.
2d. That, after the collision, the officers and
crew of die boat, withone or two hionorable ex
ceptions, exhibited neither sense, en ergy, or man
hood—proved themselves to be dastards by cow
ardly deserting the women and children confided
to their charge; and that, a sound -and safe canal
boat, in a “calm summer’s mornino,” would be in
very poor hands, if committed to thi: responsibility
of a large majority of them.
3d. That the boat was an old, ratten, worn-out,
and used up concern; that she was badly appoint
ed, worse managed, an d, in all respiects, a burning
disgrace to her owners, for all time to come.
While it wasknown, al most by eveiylbody acquaint
ed with her, that a chi'ld could have thrown a stone
through her hull, she Ixad but a single boat, without
oars, and that was ba rely sufficient to save officers !
aiul crew.
And, finally, that, taking all things into consi
deration, from beginning to end, a more wanton
and infamous disregard of human life—a more ab
solute violation of the commonest laws of human
ity—lias never been manifested by crew, officers
and owners, of any vessel th at ever floated.
So much of the statement of Col. Bradbury.
We do not know that we a re attended with any
fatality; though it would seem so in regard to wo
men and steamboats. We never g>ot particularly
well acquainted with a pretty girl th .at she did not
get married to somebody in a Iwelv e-month; and
we never enjoyed ourselves remarkably well on
board any steamboat, that some teririble disaster,
accompanied with loss of life, did 11 ot soon befall
her.
For example, some of the happiest days of our
existence were passed on board the steamboat
Erie; and she was burnt on the lake, with the loss
of nearly a hundred passengers. The Swallow was
the first boat we ever made a trip otn, up the Hud
son, and one on which we made more passages
than any other; indeed, we came down on her,
and took a champaign supper, just o»ie week before
she was broken in two, upon the fatal rock. And
now the Chesapeake, which, nine years ago, was
a staunch, fast, and handsome boat, and one on
which we have enjoyed many a happy hour, has
gone to the bottom, with a broken hull and a
blighted reputation.
We did think of writing some reminiscences of
the Chesapeake ; but there are two things we ne- ]
ver can do. It is quite impossible forus to be either
?., r 1
romantic or egotistical.
We tender to the Colonel, our sympathies and .
congratulations.
The News from Mexico.—Santa Anna, hav- I
ingbeen mobbed and stoned at the capital, has re- |
signed the Presidency. '
Gen. Minon has published his account of the 1
battle of Buena Vista, in which he charges Santa ;
Anna with'cowardice and falsehood. J
The guerillas, to the number of 1700, attacked 1
the grand train, which was canying supplies, am- 1
munition, and $350,000 in specie, from Vera Cruz
to Gen. Scott. The Mexicans were repulsed with
the loss of some men and wagons, but no money, (
and reinforcements sent for.
The fever has reduced the number of effective
men in the castle of Vera Cruz to forty. The gar- (
rison at Tampico was also reduced to one hundred
and thirty men.
Gen. Urrea, with a large force of lancers, is re
ported to be near Victoria.
Of course, with the communications interrupted, ,
there is nothing very late from the city of Mexico. '
What we have favors the opinion that Herrera is
elected President, and that the peace party is gain
ing ground.
Ungenerous Tedesco.—We have a crow to
pick with you, presuming prima donna. Either
the simple Bostonians have turned your handsome
head; or you never had any magnanimity about
you. Last Tuesday, for example, in the scene
with Rainieii, you know that she sang the best;
and in spite of your being younger and prettier,
she got the most applause. In executing the same
roulades, She showed herself the better artiste.— ‘
How shockingly you slurred over that chromatic 1
run, of which Rainier! struck every semitone so 1
truly! And yet, at the end, when twenty bouquets 1
were thrown upon the stage, you,‘with the inso- 1
lence of a prima donna assoluta, took them all to
yourself; leaving not so much as a single rose bud 1
for Rainier!! Oh ! oil! oh! ungenerous Tedesco! 1
The French Steamers.—The Christophe Co- 1
lamb, the first of the French line of steamers to this I
port, may now be looked for daily. She was to
have left on her return voyage on the Ist of July,
but will probably not sail until near the 10th. A !
large number of passengers are already booked— 1
among them, Mr. William Dibblee, the celebrated
ladies’ hair dresser and wig maker, of No. 2G3 1
Broadway. His visit is one of pleasure, we sup- '
pose, since we are quite sure the Parisian hair .
dressers and wig makers cannot add to the tho- j
rough knowledge he already possesses of his nice
and difficult art.
Annexation of Cuba.—Of this inevitable des- ,
tiny we are having some delicious foretastes, in j
the supplies of luscious tropical fruits, received by ,
every arrival, and sold at the elegant fruit stores of
Broas & Co., in Park Place, and at the corner of
Broadway and Leonard streets, where rich and ;
ripe bananas, fragrant and juicy pine-apples, and ]
every description of summer fruits may be. had in (
great perfection. ,
The Crops.—The groans of the speculators can- !
not keep from the earth, either rain or sunshine. 1
The electric telegraph may answer for a rapid ope- '
ration, like that on the arrival of the Cambria; but <
it will not prevent the growth of wheat or corn, I
With the exception of a few[isolated districts of 1
small extent, the crops have a very promising ap- t
pearance, and the surplus will be immense. Flour, 1
now down to $7,25 a barrel, will fall still lower
should there be a medium crop in Europe—a fact
we hope to impress upon the bakers, as well as the 1
flour dealers. - 1
Speedy Justice —An American soldier was mur- (
ered in Puebla,soon after the arrival of Gen. Worth.
The assassins were arrested and taken before the j
Alcalde,but on his telling the American command
er, that according to their laws a year and a half
would elapse before the case of the assassins could
be settled in the courts of Puebla, lie was inform
ed that the American tribunal would render them
full justice in a day and a half, which w’as done ac- ,
cordingly. (
Jbu d’esprit.—The prize address for the open- '
ing of the floating theatre at Coney Island, in the ‘
Spirit of the Tinies, a correspondent informs ns, 1
is “ from the pen of a distinguished and classical ‘
Senator from this district, the only fault of whose 1
writings is the smallness of their number.”
We don’t see the necessity of hinting round in t
this way. Our correspondent can mean no one f
but Senator Sandford, a rare humorist, who, be- j
cause humorists are so rare, should give his ad- ;
mirable wit a freer exercise. (
Tire Real Reason.—The Philadelphia Post, 1
speaking of the brief term of existence which com
monly belongs to our funny papers, says that they .
generally tickle themselves to death in a few I
weeks. This accounts for the longevity of Yankee I
Doodle; as it never tickled itself, nor any body <
else that we ever heard of. 1
Independence.—Next Sunday will be the ever- 1
glorious anniversary of our nation’s Independence 1
—and we shall take some special pains to prepare 1
a paper appropriate to the occasion. The usual ce
lebration will, of course, take place on Monday.
Off- Our music-loving people will be delighted 1
to learn that Madame Fleury-Joly and M. Debre
uil, the prima donna and baritone of the French '
Opera, of New Orleans, will give a grand concert, 1
with all the proper accessories, at the Apollo Sa- 1
loon, next Thursday evening. Nowhere, on this
continent, is there so good music as at New Or
leans, and we have now an opportunity of hearing 1
two of their best artistes.
— ■ —— t
(jc>. Mr. Janies Callahan, the pilot who took out
the Macedonian, refused any remuneration for his ,
services, which at the usual rate of compensation,
would have amounted to from $l5O to S2OO.

Brooklyn Patriotism.—The Common Council
of Brooklyn has refused to make any appropriation
for celebrating the 4th of July; whereupon a com

purpose from the city of New York, which, we
trust, may be granted. As we said last week, the
best thing Brooklyn can do, is to be annexed to
New York at once.

JtJ- Count D’Orsay’s Etiquette of which au
thoritative and popular work, Messrs. Wilson &
Co., must, have sold some fifty thousand copies, is
very well in its way; but it makes no provision
for teaching us the proprieties to be observed and
the vulgarities to be avoided, at the Italian Opera.
Fortunately for society,a correspondent of the He
rald lias filled up this hiatus, and we shall know in
future how to behave ourselves. We condense
the maxims of “An old Opera Goer,” for the ben
efit of whom they may concern.
Ladies and gentlemen must not rise between
the acts, and turn their backs upon the audience.
This is “ rude, insulting, and unladylike.”
Ladies must not hang their shawls, however
magnificent, over the front, of the boxes It des
troys the unity of coup d'ceil, and may affect rever
beration.
Gentlemen must not thump with canes nor
stamp with their feet. “ Clapping of the hands,”
says, our authority, “brava! bravisssmo! and a
viva lis comme il faut." It ain’t anything else.
Bouquets, to be thrown upon the stage should
have a small piece of lead attached to them.
Wouldn’t a penny answer lor a bit of brass I If
so, our dandies would never be unprovided.
Our readers may now go to the opera with en
tire confidence of knowing how to behave them
selves. By the way, on the first night of Saflb,we
found ourselves seated beside a couple of enthu
siasts who were engaged in eating pea nuts. Is
peanuts comme il faut ?
Qtj* The papers, of the city of Mexico, pub
lish letters giving very minute accounts of the
entrance of the advance of the American army,
under General Worth, into Puebla. One let
ter says that, on arriving at the Plaza, they
stacked their arms, and many of them laid dovn
on the ground and went to sleep soundly; confident,
that they would not be disturbed, though mere
than 5000 Mexican citizens surrounded the Plaza.
They remained so until three o’clock, p. m., when
they occupied the barracks and convents of St.
Domingo and St. Louis.
The same letter states that many of the troops
attended mass, as the Mexicans themselves would.
Not a few of them deposited alms in the alms
boxes,' placed in the churches. General Worth
visited the Bishop on the 17th, and as the Bishop
returned the visit on the same day, the guards
—Americans—posted at the doors of the Palace,
did him the same honors as are done to the Amer
ican generals on similar occasions. This has had
great influence upon the class ofpeople who seemed
most enraged against the he.etics — “ the old wo
men.”
gij- “ The meeting of the Democracy” to nomi
nate General Zachary Taylor for the Presidency,
was not held in the Park last night, according to
the announcement which appeared in some of the
morning papers, signed by a Mr. Wood, a gentle
man whom nobody knows, but whom eveiybody
was inquiring for. Will Mr. Wood be good
enough to step forward I There were, as usual, a
few persons loitering in the Park at the hour ap
pointed for the meeting—but when asked if they
were there for the purpose mentioned, each one
answered with delightful simplicity—“ God bless
you, no, sir.” We thought it was a hoax, forMr.
Fuller informed us yesterday that the call for the
meeting was made without his knowledge or con
sent.
{JtJ-- The City Hall bell, like some of the official
tenants of that elegant public establishment, is
cracked,and the noise it makes distressing to weak
nerves. Breaking upon the stillness of the night,
its voice is like a discordant howl from the abodes
of the damned. Were we all Dantes or Bun
yans, or Quevedos, we might enjoy it ; but being
respectable citizens and tolerable Christians, dis
posed to quiet and not relishing a foretaste of the
horrors of that place, which is so often and so ela
borately described on Sunday afternoons to aroused
congregations—we suggest the-purchase of a better
alarmer. There is no good reason why children
should be frightened out of their wits by such dia
bolical sounds.
{Kjt- We greatly fear that we shall be obliged to
find more fault with the amiable Austrio-Spanish
irnpressario, Don Jose Villarino. All the past sea
son, at Palmo’s, we have observed that a private
box was at the disposal of the ladies of a particular
newspaper and their attendants. On the first night
of Norma, these ladies were fobbed off with a
fourth bench in the second tier. This slight, not
to say insult, has been perpetrated in the absence
of the son-in-law of one of the ladies, and the bro
ther-in-law of the other, the talented editor of the
paper referred to—the Herald. What makes the
matter worse, is the rank and position of these la
dies, who besides their connection with the press,
are near relatives of a former Governor of one of
the British West indies, and have therefore almost
the same title to respect as the doubtless worthy
Mrs. O’Donnell, wife of the Governor of Cuba.
glj- Mr. Greeley, it appears, has gone upto Lake
Superior, to see to his stock in the copper mines;
in which he is said to have invested rather deeply.
He sends us the following account of a sad disas
ter, which occurred on the 10th instant, at Sault
St. Marie ; the upsetting of a row boat descending
the rapids, drowning three of her passengers. “It
is said that she took a wrong channel—too near
the British shore. She was careering on at a fear
ful speed—not less than thirty miles per hour—
when she struck a rock just under the water and
was hurled some feet above the surface, and in an
instant after she was capsized and her crew strug
gling tor their lives.”
W e think that the Common Council will be
agreeably surprised when they come to pass the
bill for the dinner served on board the steamer
Cornelius Vanderbilt, for the Council and its
guests, on Friday. This splendid boat was placed
at the service of the city, without charge, the com
pany running her to Amboy and back, and furnish
ing servants at their own expense. All that the
city pay for is the first cost of the dinner, wines,
fruits, etc., all the rest of the expense being borne
by the steamboat company. This is doing the
thing handsomely, and the proprietors of the Cor
nelius Vanderbilt deserve creditfor their liberality.
Follow nature” is amaxim of the philoso
phers ; and there is nothing else that can be fol
lowed to any good. Nature teaches us all we
we know, and will teach us much more, if we at
tend her lessons. Ireland, just now, should study
a bee-hive. The bees kill off the drones of the hive,
that the tvorkers may not want. Tn Ireland they
are doing just the opposite of this. The workers
starve to maintain the drones. The English are
doing much the same.
Signor Marti, the Havana fishmonger, is
negociating for a new opera house, to be erected
on Broadway, opposite Bond street. To that we
have no particular objection, but he must either
dismiss Don Jose Villarino, orteach him his man
ners—we don’t' care which; but if he intends to
have an opera house in New York, he must do one
of them.

the first of October.
(IO One of the papers stated, last week, that the

among the number, were done out of their half

80 Desertions from the British army in Canada,

T-he GainsvtlLe (Ala.,) ease
is very similar to that of Myers and Hoyt in Rich
mond, Va., and was attended with the same re
sult, the death of the seducer at the hands of the
outraged husband.
Col. Winston, a planter of immense wealth, was
the friend of Dr. S. S. Perry, secured him a large
practice in his profession, advanced his political
: fortunes—in short made him what he was. In
■ return for a friendship like this, Dr. Perry robbed
Col. Winston of the affections of his wife, and
corrupted her.
Col. Winston pitiently investigated the rumors
which had reached his ears, became satisfied of
the guilt of the parties, and deliberately proceeded
■ to his revenge. A letter from the scene ol the
■ tragedy says:—
“He (Col. W.) came into town on horseback
• with his double barrelled shot gun, loaded with
buck-shot, and inquired of a gentleman whom he
met, where Dr. . Perry was. lie was told
1 that he was at-office; he walked around
. to the post office vuh his gun in hand, both bar
[ rels cocked, and on finding Dr. Perry in the post
office, called on the gentleman with whom Dr.
; Perry was in conversation, to stand out of the
way, that he might shoot that damned rascal. The
gentleman moved one side, and he fired the whole
load into the lower part of the abdomen, severing
one of the main arteries, from which Dr. Perry
■ died in one hour. Col. Winston exclaimed, thank
• 1 have avenged the wrong done my wife ; I
. have shot the seducer of my wife—the destroyer
of my peace forever; that man has robbed me of
s my wife and of my peace forever. Col. Winston
immediately gave himself up to the authorities,
and was tried yesterday before an examining court
. of magistrates, and upon the testimony was dis
charged, amidst the deafening plaudits of an im-
' mense crowd, assembled to hear the sad tale of
, treachery and seduction, that caused thd fatal
deed.”
The same writer says:—
“Col. Winston went yesterday to see his un
fortunate wife, in company with his brother and
another friend. He was calm and cool, and did
! great credit to himself in the interview. He told
her that her conduct required their final separa
-1 ion; on the announcement of which she fainted.
On reviving, and being composed, she asked him
if he was clearly convinced that he had acted right,
in killing Dr. Perry. He answered he was fully
j so. She then told him she did not blame him.
Col. W. gave her a lecture filled with good advice,
1 and told her his carriage would be ready this
• morning to convey her to her friends in Tennes
t see, where she would be furnished with all things
} necessary for her support and comfort. A mar
ried gentleman, cousin to Col. Winston,goes with
} her.”
> Mrs. Winston appears to have shamelessly aban-
• doned herself to her guilty love. She knew that
I Dr. Perry was a married man, and was even im
l prudent enough to say that "Mrs. Perry could easily
■ be got rid of. It is further said that Dr. Perry in
tended to provoke a quarrel with Col. Wiiiston,
. get the first fire, and kill him. Thus with Mrs.
Perry put out of the way by Mrs. Winston, and
> Col. Winston mnrdered by Dr. Perry, there would
. be no obstacle in the way of the union of the
. guilty lovers. It is a strange story.
All of these horrible designs are garnished with
I a romance not. unlike that exhibited by Mrs.
, Myers in her intrigue with Hoyt. Dr. Perry
. marked appropriate passages in the poetical works
-of Joanna Baillie and Mrs. Hernans, and sent the
> books, with very warm letters, to Mrs. Winston.
! It seems to be now the settled opinion of the
, whole country, that the man who seduces a mar
. ried woman, places his life in the hands of her
, husband, to be taker, on the first occasion, the
avenger not only escaping the penally of murder,
I but being sustained by the public voice.
1 Domestic Infelicity.—On the docket, of the
Cincinnati Common Pleas, there are one hundred
l and fifty-four divorce cases, thirty-four of which
; are set down for immediate hearing. To a sens.i
. tive mind here is an aggregate of domestic infeli
r city, which must be keenly distressing. Here are
. one hundred and fifty-four couples, three hundred
; and eight men and women, who, five, ten, fifteen
. or twenty years ago, voluntarily entered into the
I matrimonial compact, with the brightest dreams
• of bliss which the human imagination can know.
It was an elysium to their hearts, a perpetual and
. perennial paradise, a world of sunlight, flowers and
music, into which no distrust, no inquietude, no
sorrow, would ever intrude. How terrible the
' awakening from such a dream—how distressing
to apply to a judge for relief, especially if he be a
cross-grained old bachelor, whose puckered up
mouth’plainly indicates the thought within—l knew
it would be so.
“A fiend, in the shape of a man,” we see
by the papers, has induced a young lady of Brook
lyn to leave her home and take up her residence in
a house of “rather questionable character.” “It
is time,” says our authority, “ high time that Jus
tice was on the track of the thousand villains, who
are now roaming at large in our city, and contami
nating the moral atmosphere with their pestilential
. breath.”
We trust that the excited writer of what we have
thus quoted is laboring under a misapprehension.
Doubtless, there are fiends in human shape in
Brooklyn. There may be a considerable number;
but we cannot believe that so truly moral and pious
a city contains a thousand such: nor that the
moiM atmosphere of that delightful uhd salubrious
place is so much contaminated, as this indignantly
virtuous writer imagines.
“The Toronto Globe says that the mayor of
that city has for two years rented a house as ‘ a
den of licentiousness,’ and as associate justice of
the court, fined his tenants ten pounds for keeping
it.”
We doubt the fact and dispute the inference.
We venture to say that the mayor of Toronto never
rented a house “ as ” a “ den of licentiousness,”
if we rightly understand what is meant by that ex
pression; and if a house, which he leased, has
been converted to an improper purpose, he was
perfectly right, in punishing the tenants to the full
. extent of his magisterial powers.

THE CASE OF MR. O'CONNELL.
To the Editors of the Dispatch:
An attentive reader of the report of the physi
cians in this case, will not fail to perceive from its
semi-apologetic deprecatory tone that their minds
are ill at ease in regard to the treatment of their
distinguished patient. To take away the life
blood of a feeble, sinking man isbeginping to
be pretty generally considered a very dangerous
way of imparting strength to him. But say some
“Mr. O’C. refused to rake medicine,” Granted.
Still it is not a sufficient reason for cutting his
throat. They should have let him alone. His
chance would have been far better that way. The !
state ofhis.brain, as shown by dissection, proves ,
nothing—Dr. Dickson, of London, having proved |
that any healthy animal may have its brain brought
to that state by depletion,by means of those curses,
the lancet and the leech, now rapidly expiring un
der the vigorous blows of Young Physic.

We. witnessed on Tuesday night, the first repre
sentation, by the Havana Company in this city, of
Bellini’s “Norma.” The company, as we have
already taken the trouble to inform onr readers, is
under the direction of the obsequious lacquey of
Mrs. O’Donnell, Don Jose Villarino, as he calls
himself, though where he acquired the prefix of
Don, we are at loss to tell.
It was a very unequal performance. Some pas
sages were rendered with their full effect, but as a
whole, the opera was most wretchedly botched.
Tedesco, the prima. donna assolvta received less
applause than Rainieri, who sung the second part
of Adalgiza. In the scena near the end of the first
act the precision, firmness, and power of Rain
ieri, over Tedesco, were clearly perceptible,as was
manifested by the spontaneous applause of the
large audience. Tedesco, with all the advantages
of careful training, lacks nerve. She approaches her
high notes with timidity,and just where she should
impress, she shies, like an awkward horse in a
steeple chase. Instead of taking to the seven bar
led musical gate, or the eleven feet ditch, with a
dashing bound, and a heigh ho, she looks at the
wall, or the ditch, calculates the chances of a safe
passage and wriggles over as best she can. Musi
cians call this slurring—we call it slovenly, and
this word expresses our meaning of Tedesco’s ex
ecution.
Rainieri on the contrary is smooth mid even.—
She may be wanting in genius, but that which she
attempts she does well. One feels at ease while
listening to her. She lakes to her notes as a ready
boy takes to his alphabet, the only effort being to
pronounce distinctly and correctly. Her’s was the
only satisfactory part of the performance, and
though Tedesco was eager to gather up the bou
quets, which were not thrown at her feet, the au
dience felt the superiority of Rainieri.
Of Severi, the much eracked up tenor, we have
but a word to say. His friends declared that he
was laboring under an affection of the throat and
lungs, which affection, with all our disposition to
do him justice, we are bound to think, after three
hours’ endurance of him, chronic. He certainly
cannot hope to rival Beneditti whose voice is not
only purer,but better sustained in a higher compass,
Our musical world have lost something by so sud
denly abandoning the Chambers’ street company,
and this fact they are just beginning to find out.
In the chorus, and orchestra, there is little per
ceptible change. The prompter bawls as usual to
the heavy shouldered choristers, and the leader
beats his tin pan with an energy not at all relaxed by
the pathetic appeals of the press. The English
version of Norma, as given in this city in 1841, at
the National, was an act ot justice to Bellini’s
fame, which the Havana Company, try they ever
so hard, cannot depreciate orbring into contempt.
The entire press of the city unites m condemning
the performances of this company,and we know of n
readier way to be swindled out of a dollar, than by
paying it to Mrs. O’Donnel’s man.
The Courier of Monday, the 21st, published a
card signed by Jose Villarino, and dated on Fri
day, the 18th inst, but evidently written on Sun
day. If it had been written on Friday it would
have appeared in the Courier on Saturday. This
card relates to the trouble with Mr. Maison
of Le Franco Americain, and was called out
by the article m our last issue. It is only ne
cessary to say that it gives further indication of the
servility of its writer Jose Villarino has not
effrontery enough to deny that he struck off the
name of an editor, merely-because that editor
thought lit to criticise the operatic performances at
the Park ; nor is he fool enough to deny that he il
luminated the front of a public building in New
York, in honor of the wife of a subordinate of a fo
reign monarch. This Jose Villarino is a most con
temptible fellow, and with this expression of our
opinion, we dismiss him.

Miss Cruise and a large number of beautiful women
and The town wants just such
a place of amusement in precisely that locality,and
Mr. Dunn is the very man to make the enterprise
succeed. He is not only a fine actor, but possesses
managerial capacities of the most valuable char
acter. We predict for the company under his di

of dances.
The sacred concert at Castle Garden, this even

New Military Company—Our French fellow
citizens, who on all occasions exhibit their attach
ment to the country of their adoption, and who are
conspicuous for an ardent love and an unwavering
support of our republican institutions, are already
contributing from their number to swell the ranks
of our noble volunteer military. We have to notice
the organization of “ The Lafayette Guards,” a
fine body of Frenchmen, commanded by Captain
Lonati, with Messrs. Bernard and Picard© for
Lieutenants. This company will make its first
public parade on the 4th of July.
French Boot Emporium.— The opening of this estab

has already created a revolution in the boot and shoe
trade of this city. If a pair of light, beautiful gaiters are
wanted, you go to the French emporium : if an elegant
pair of boots—the French emporium. These gaiters and
boots are not only distinguished for their beauty, but for
their durability, and, more important than all, for their
cheapness. The proprietors of ilia French boot empor
iumsell quickly at a very small profit, and here is the
secret of their success. Their business increases with
every day.

KT’ TO CANDID INQUIRERS-Let alfsuch as wish
to know the difference between a medicine which is
worthy, and a medicine which is not worthy, inquire as
to the benefits to be obtained from Brandreth’s Pills. In
the United States, there are over Two Millions who
have used them, so you need not go far to ascertain as
to their character. Inquire.
In Cholic, and in inflammation of the bowels, these
Pills will at once relieve, and perseverance in their use,
according to the directions, will surely do all that me
dicine can do, to restore the health of the patient.
In diseases arising from the use of mercury, or from
any cause or vitiation, from bad bioodor otherwise,their
use will produce the most happy results! In all attacks
of rheumatism, erysipelas; salt rheum, and in cases of
chronic or recent Costiveness, the use of the Brandreth
Pills will be productive of infinite service—sometimes
occasioning so great a change for the better as to cause
great thankfulness.
In all cases of Indigestion, Worms, Asthma, Diseases
of the Heart, and in all affections of the Stomach and
bowels, the Brandreth Pills will be found a never fail
ing remedy.
To insure the full benefit of these celebrated Pills,
they should be kept in the house, so that upon the first
commencement of sickness they may be at once resort
ed to. One dose then is better than a dozen after the di.
sease has become established in the system.
The Brandreth Pills are purely vegetable, and so inno
cent that the infant of a month old may use them, if me
dicine is required, not only with safety but with acer
. tainty of receiving all the benefit medicine is capable of
imparting, Females may use them during all the criti
caTperiods of tlxeirlivres, The Brandreth Pills will in 1
sure their health, and produce regularity in all the (
functions of life.
Be careful of counterfeit Pills. All persons should be ’
careful to purchase at Dr. Brandreth’s office, or of the re <
gular appointed agents. They would thus ensure them- '
selves the genuine article, otherwise they may get a
counterfeit, as a new one has recently been offered in
this city.

GOURAUD’S LECTURES ON CHEMISTRY.—No. IV. ;
Of what value would the iron mines of Pennsylvania <
and Missouri be withoutthe chemical knowledge neces
sary to smelt the 01 e, and subsequently give it mallea
bility? By means of chemistry, too, the cast iron may
be easily converted into cast steel; and this process j
consists merely in imparting to the metal a portion of
carbon, by means of fusing it in crucibles with carbo
nate of lime. The process, called “ case hardening,”
[for gunlocks, &c.,] was formerly very laborious and
expensive; but now that chemistry has been brought
to bear upon it, it is found that an application of Prus- 1
siate of Potash will effect in a few minutes what former- ]
ly could not be done in as many hours! <
But the greatest triumph of chemistry was the pro- j
duction of Gouraud’s celebrated Italian Medicated ■
Soap, for removing Tan, Pimples, Freckles, Sunburn, •
Sallowness, Redness, Roughness, or any discoloration <
of the skin. It also allays the bites of musquitoes, and 1
is exquisite for Shaving. Gouraud’s Poudres Subtiles j
will positily eradicate superfluous hair! Gouraud’s ;
Grecian Hair Dye has the remarkable chemical pro- j
perty of changing red, light or gray hair to a beautiful
brown or black. ;
ST* Remember! the genuine preparations of Dr. 1
Felix Gouraud cannot be obtained anywhere in the <

all disagreeable pressure is obviated. They are strong
without, weight elastic without being loose, cool and
thin as gossamer, fitting the head with the same ease and
tenacity as a silk stocking does the limb, and withal—
the natural appearance of a veritable Head of Hair.

A DESCRIPTIVE POEM.
An ample room where pictures bright,
On roof and wall the eye invite,
A long Arcade, where left and right
Gleam baths of Marble pure and white,
Adorn that palace of delight—
Stoppani’s Bath.
If health’s rich glow has left your cheek,
There the lost roses you should seek,
Soon will return each ruddy streak,
Soon strength invigorate the weak;
And one and all with praise bespeak
Stoppani’s Bath.
The ladies, too, delighted say
That their department’s au fait,
For good attendance night or day,
And baths as pure as flowers in May,
They seek three ninety-eight Broadway.

its walks and scenery, than any other place of the kind
in the United States. The recent improvements which
have taken place there in the laying out and grading of
convenient streets and’ walks, and the erection of neat
and handsome summer residences, have much enhanced
the value of its real estate. While the additional facili
