We were joined this morning by u large delega tion Irom our sister city ot Brooklyn, the Muyor of which was represented by Thos. G. Tallmadge, Esq. Assistant Aldermen C. J. Dodge and Westervelt, with Alderman Campbell, also arrived from New York, but not a whig alderman was to be seen as far as the eye could reach. We also found a large delegation from Dutchess) county here in the morning, who had come a distance of SO miles the day previous to b;? present at the opening. Among them was our old friend, Jackson Wing, now nearlv Ml) nnrl Anr vmin* frii-nH mid kiln! host, while mil der the brow of Quaker Ridge, Col. Tweedy. In our previous letters, by some mistake, we omitted to mention that of our Common Council, Assistant Aldermen Brown, Waterman, and Williams, and ex-assistants Murphy and Rawson were in company along the whole route. After breakfast at the Mansion House, now kept by the Messrs. Dorlons in excellent style, coaches were arranged ia front of the hotel to conv?y the delegations to various parts of the city, in order to show them the extensive manufactories within its limits. The first place at which we stopped was Eaton and Gilbert's celebrated Troy Coach and Rail-R oad Car establishment. The buildings cover an area of 235 by 120 feet; and through the polite attention of one of Troy's enterprising merchants, Charles Dauchy, Esq., who accompanied us, we made a full survey of the premises. These gentlemen have recently made an addition of a large building to their former extensive manufactory, for the puroose of constructing railroad cars, several of which were in process of completion, and intended for the Troy and Schenectady Rail Road, which is to be finished in a few days. One of'the cars competed was superior, in point of finish, to any thing of the kind that has ever met our notice. Eighty men are employed in this establishment, even during the present dull times; u.id in brisk seasons several hundred are kept in constant work^ A rotary plaining machine, improved and constructed by the proprietors, attracted much attention from the velocity of its movements and neatness of execution. These gentlenaen have obtained a reputation in the manufacture of post coaches that extends from Canada to the southermost termination of Mexico, where they are used exclusively for the conveyance of passengers. In fact, the ease and comiori, in contrast wiui many oilier venicies ot the same fashion, is such that passengers always give that stage line a preference that has been keen enough to select them for use. On leaving this establishment. and passing towards Burden's Hail, spike, and norse-shoe works, our attentive friend pointed out the manufacturing works of Mr. Benjamin Marshall, on a stream called the Poessen Kill, that passes down the southern point of the acclivity called Mount Ida, within the limits of the Corporation of Troy. This gentleman is one of the most extensive and wealthy manufacturers in the United States, and purchased the mill sites in this vicinity within a few years, from William P. Van Rensselaer, the patroon of this county. The supnly of water not being as extensive as was desiretf, Mr. Marshall resorted to artificial means to supply that which niture had made deficient, and by the consiruction of a thnncl, through solid rock, a distance of two hundred yards, and additional dams, he has succeeded in being able to use the whole sunply of water six different times in succeseiop. In addition to this, by purchasing about four thousand acres of land a few miles above the works, he lias secured a full supply of water, in reservoirs, at all seasons of the year. Besides his own manufactories, tiiat comprise an extensive woollen and plaster tlouring establishment, there are (bursites for water power not occupied, and for which he is desirous of obtaining purchasers. The pussage of the ouilet of the stream to the Hudson has been converted by his enterprise into a canal for the conveyance of produce and manufactured articles, thus bringing all his heavy material within 2lK) yards of the water power. _ We soon reached the stream called Winan's Kill, a short distance below Troy, 011 which are located Burdt/n's justly celebrated works, and the Albany nail factories, Arc. On approaching the former, the hum of machinery, combined with the peculiar sound of movement of his immense waterwheel, plaiuly indicated that we were in the vicinity of no small manufactory. This, wheel, which is fifty feet in diameter, with boxes of nine feet in depth bytwo in width, braced inside by innumerable round bars of iron, running transversely from the axis to various points on its circumference is without exception me king of water wheels in this country. The regularity of its movements is governed by "a man at the wheel," stationed on the ground floor of the main building, whose experienced eye regulates the supply of water bv reducing or increasing it at his pleasure. He looked like an old weather beaten pilot as lie stood changing his helm front starboard to larboard, thus producing a uniform regular motion ..c .l: i .v. r ui iiii? I'uuui'iuue incur ui iimciuiirrv, nit: power i?i which is capable of raiein* seventy-five tons at the rate of three and a hall' feet to the second. We then passed into the building devoted to the manufacture of Burden's patent horse shoe, and there saw one machine comprised in three separate parts, that was capable of turning out thousands in a day and hundreds in an hour. The bars of iron rolled to the exact size are tak"n from a furnace in a state of fiery heat, passed into a machine that stands nearly adjoining, which cuts the iron at a proper length for the shoe, and drops it on the ground. It is then pieked up with pincers by a boy and handed to a person tending another piece of machinery within reach, that gives the circular formation to it in leaB time than we have been writing these few lines. It then passes into the hands of another workman, whose apparatus bends the "carks," as they are commonly called, and forms the toe piece. Thus ends the o|**ration with the exception of punching the holes for the nails, which is performed after they become cold, at the rate of 121X1 |>er day, with a single machine. In the same building are eleven machines for the manufacture of spikes ol all sizes, several of which are in operation, turning off 1200 pound per day An extensive nail factory is also connected with the works, the whole of which are under the direction of Mr. Burden, and owned by a company of gentlemen of Troy. We were then invited to the residence of Mr. B., delightfully located on the rising ground above, commanding a view of the works and the surrounding scenery of tha Hudson in the distance below. His ladv appeared at the door of his splendid mansion, alio received the delegations in a manner that evinced she was the lady of the manor in all it? meaning. After visiting the beautiful and luxuriant garden nuacneu to me grounds, and despoiling th?gootieberry bushes of a portion ot their large and luscious fruit, at the invitation of Mr. B., the company returned to the city of Troy where a refreshing lunch had been prepared bv tne Trojans in the Common Council Chamber, of which all partook with readiness, as the morning had been warm and the roads dusty.

Ileartt and .John i^ason were in waitina:, the former to receive the delegations and the latter the citizens of Troy generally. These boats, under the direction of their attentive commanders, Captains Tupper and (tillespic, were elegantly decorated with llags, and as the band ol the corns struck up an elegant air, 'hey lelt the wharf with their Precious cargoes, amid th- r?m of artil| lery on botn sides of the Hudson, and the shout* of the numerous spectators that lined the wharves. We soon arrived o|>positc the point selected by the company to commence thiswork,at its northern extremity, and landed at Bath, about half a mile below. The procession again formed, as before, and pro W Yfl EW YORK. SUNDAY MO ceeded to the spot, which was located in a tine luxurious meadow on the river's side, belonging to Win. I' Vim Rensselaer, the Patroon of the east hide of the Hudson. By the aid ol the military an outer ring was formed, sufficiently large to allow the whole company to hare a view of the ground, and the delegations were thfn invited inside to witness the ceremonies, in company with those citizens of Troy who were present, and who have interested themselves in the construction of the work. Among the officers of the company on the ground we noticed the following gentlemen;? John Delalield, President. Joiiuh Rich, Vice-President. Jonas t llenrtt, Treasurer. F.rmitire Committer. George It Davi?, Troy. Charles Henry Hall, New York. Alon/oti. Hammond, Brooklyn. Directors. Alpheu* Sherman, N?w York, Peter Cooper, New York. J. A Taber, of Pawlingt, Dutchess County. John M.

Farwell, DonnT, Young and Carmichoel, the gentlemen whose names constitute the linn of the com,>aiiy of contractors, with about twenty others, who have taken ihe whole line of road, were also present, and the shantees of the workmen of tlie former aentlem in who commences on this s*ctionof the fine, were scattered about the vicinity, und a large number of workmen were on the ground ready to proceed to business. A piece ol snirit stirring music from the band, und Mr. Delafield, the President of the Company, stepped forward and addressed the large assemblage in a brief and |*rtineiU speech, in which he alluded to the origin of the system of railroad communication as being almost yet in its infancy, although they had been introduced into almost every civilized nation within th?? past few years. He animadverted strongly on the advantages resulting to the city of Hoston; the construction of their road across our State, ana contrasted the disadvantages that must naturally result to our city, unless the work that had been this day commenced, should be promptly completed. On concluding,he handed-the instruments of excavation, in the shape of four well finished shovels,to Alderman Leonard, representing the Mayor of our city; Thomas (r. Tallmadge, re presenting the Mayor of Brooklyn; Jonas C. lleartt, the Mayor of Troy, and Wni. 1*. Van Rensselaer, the patroon, on whose land we were making the commencement. The Mavor ol Albany was not present, nor the Common Council, although specially invited, and a steamboat sent to convey them to the ground. Neat and |ertinent replies were made by these public functionaries, and followed bv an I.l_ U_? -1 I r 1 ituic, 11 ui iiiuirr iiw long a s^?t;ec-n ior a not nay, 111 un open field, from Alonzott. Hammond, Eaq., of Brooklyn. He nlluded to the section of country t!iron, while the Roston road was carried over mountainous regions, by inclined planes, whitUi were subject to be covered with snow, and that the curves were in great abundance, and within short conmass. He then alluded to the spirit of rivalry and opposition that existed against this work, and in a single breath P )inted out the utter impracticability and |>erfect u?el-ssnessof the various proposed routes that had heen trumped up by those hostile, in order to defeat the construction of the road through the region contemplated. He alluded very pointedly, and effectively, t j the superiority of a line of railroad coinmunicn tion between Troy, Albany and New York, at all seasons of the year, and pointed, as a practical result, to the almost entire abandonment of the steamboat rout-' between Philadelphia and Baltimore since the construction of the line of railroad between those cities. lie concluded, by staling that the receipts of the Hoston road were already, at the rate of #600, UK),|K'r annum?that on an average 5(H) barrels of llour passed over it per day from the west, and that previous to its construction all the passengers that travelled on that route were sent in two post coaches and that nearly all the produce now forwarded in that direction then reached the City of New York. At this moment some boy bawled out in the crowd Who threw that *tuaT' when the monster of the Commercial, who bears that cognomen, supposing lie had been called out, immediately intruded himtelf with his hungry looking phiz, and said? Fellow Citizens: 1 hardly know what to say on this occasion, which in inv opinion, I con-ider one of solemnity, yes of much solemnity." (He here modulated his voice for effect, and all we could catch was "dinner?chaiiijon. We returned, gentlenn n, and here we are, and as such i* the|a?pect of the case, and as the day is warm, it is well enough to make a beginning or we shall never get to the end of this business. I understand, aim), that this is a champaigne country, and I think I hear the waiters now clattering the platen and drawing the corks, 00 let us Ret under way anrl fini-h up You Trojans will haw .'very thing your own way in this husincss, and when you get it all finished th Albanians will come rap in hand and ask your aid to tunnel ill!- Hudson. I know the-te people well, I was one ol tliem once myself, although not u native, and when I published the Albany Daily Advertiser, I was the first man, or the first editor, that battled fur the construction of the big ditch. Afterwards Governor Clinton came in and assisted me until it was finished. (Some boy cried out 'O what a whopjier.') Yes, gentlemen, nnd I was one among the first that came down in the first canal boat that parsed through this great work ('and so was Klkanah Watson's old horse,' some one whispeied in our ear,) and I therefore consider myself among the first in the prosecution of this noble enterprise (A laugh.) Gentlemen, 1 have great faith in the prosecution of this road, as the Troians have commenced it, and it n rare that they undertake any thing that does not succeed?so give us a sp ide and lets conmvnre." ;owcr? IRK t RNING, AUGUST 7, 1842 of gluttony,expressed their astonishment by remarks of, The devil! look at rttone'n plate 44 Does he i intend to eat all that 1" Well, I've heard lie was i a gormandizer, but my God, 1 didn't think he was i such a atuHer, Jcc..

During the absence of tin- waiter with the ham, he spoiled the np|>earunce and caused the ilisa|n> of a cucumber dish, a piece of i roast beef, ami ilr-n attempted to sacrifice some I boiled corn, which heme partially cold, he pom- i pously called another waiter, and ordered him to de- set n the kitchen and obtain MX ears, all nice i and hot, cover them with a napkin, and bring th? m I to him as soon as possible. As the waiter returned with the corn, some gentlemen ftoin Dutchess, w ho sat near u-i, and who had not been favored with the I article this seaaon, took poweMton of waiter, napkin and corn, and divided the latter item among them- 1 selves, while Stone looked on with all the wishful- -.1 ll... ..i ?u.. 1 1- .1? i- ni mc IKUUH, null iosi 11 is meat 111 endeavoring to clutch at his shadow. At tlun instant up came the waiter with tin* broiled ham, which immedi itely placed before Stone, who commenced I making prejwrations to devour it, when Judges In- 11 glis and Ingrahani who sut near him, from some philanthropic motive or other, passed their plates towards" htm, when lie was compelled to disgorge a small portion of his savory di?h. Fhe dinner proceed* ed with moderation. Stone, every now and then cattj^g his eyes towards the head of the table to as- c certain whether the chain|>agnet that ho had talked of and so warmly anticipated while breaking ground, had arrived in the vicinity of Mayor Heartt, who iweajded at the dinner. The .dessert was about 11 lieiriii served, and as plate after plate was laid upon the table, his eyes still continued to cast that enquir- a ins, longing glance that is so striking in one of the s canine species, when expecting to be thrown a bone, a 1 lis anticipations were not realized, however, as the a Trojans had wisely concluded that in these days of I temperance and hard times, such an unnecessary appendage as champagne, was uncalled for. Mr. t I leant, the brother ot the Mayor of Troy, having called for a bottle of Stone's longing beverage, in c compliment to some friend who was present, observ- i ed the anxious eyes of the valorous Colonel turned i towards his brother at the head of the table, and in t order to relieve either one or the other from the peculiarity of their situation, poured oil ihe wine from j the bottle, within about naif a gill of the dregs-, and t then sent it to Stone by a waiter, with his compli- t ments. The look ol satisfaction with which Stone grasped its neck, and the avidity with which he i attempted to appropriate its contents in rinsing his gullet, with the expression of disappointment that followed the last tip of the bottle, caused the whole tiililf*. iinlcpa niMVniM ??t. zens, to shake their sides with shouts of laughter. This was rather too much for Stone's nerves to bear, and as the company gradually rose from the table, lie at length 1 intruded himself into the society of a small party of gentlemen at the lower end of th'- op- 1 posit?j table, who were enjoying a little of the grape, and among whom your representative had been specially invited There being any given quan'ity in p the vicinity he immediately made himself more i than officious, until Mayor Heartt, who is an entire cold waterman, entered the room and took his seat j among the company. A partial organization then 1 took place,when the health of the absent Mayors ol I New York and r>rookl>n were given by the Mayor of Troy, (drunk by hint in cold water,) and respond- ed to bv Alderman Leonard in behalf of the former, t and Alderman Tallmadge lor the latter. Kx-Alder- I man Rich, the Vice President of the Kailroad 1 r.nmpany, raplied to a toast given complimentary to lite officers, in the course of which he pointed out the argumentative fact, that if the lioston railroad, which cost jjj>:l,()n0,l)l)0, would yield, as was fully evi- t dent, a handsome premium on that investment, s what was to prevent the stockholders of the New York and Albany route from receiving a liberal |x-r cent age when their road would not cost half that t amount, nor half the sum to keep it in constant re- t pair! lie alluded to the manner in which the press i tit New ork had heen hunilmuged by the various i railroad schemes of the day, and the course it had pursued in o|>j>osition to this project, evidently pointins hi the articles published m the Commercial Ad- vertiser on that subjecj. I Stone again rose,and desired an explanation from Vice President l! ic!i, as he wished him to particularise what portion of the press had pursued such a course, as he balieved that the whole of the press of New York, witii the exception of what he termed the mushroom part?the penny press?had always sustained this project. Vice President Kich replied, and reiterated what he hud previously said, when Mr. Ileartt, the wmi' gentleman who had quizzed Stone with the empty champagne hottle, remarked that the I Commercial had rarely if ever alluded to the interi'.-ts of Troy in any manner, and therefore there was not much reason to suspect that it would at this late day. [Laughter] DuringStone's blathering speech,which would have I been replied to by vour representative had lie not con- 1 sidered his remarks beneath notice, several gentle- t men intimated that Stone had changed positions ve- s ry sudden, as his p i per was one of the wannest advo- e cates for a bridge over the Hudson at Albany, and that he had earnestly recommended the contemplat ?d railroad route through Connecticut,in preference t to the present work. Another remarked, that when nearly all the credit press of Wall street was aiding r in inducing the Legislature to construct this bridge, to the detriment of Troy, anil also urging the State y to snuander their money in the New York and Krie Railroad humbug (of which Stone was among the loudest) the whole cash press of New York city were daily publishing the most able articles ever written in opposition to these very measures. Alio- ther hinted that Kirh certainly meant Stone, and Stone alone, when lie spoke of being humbugged, as no man connected witli the press in this country was so easily wheedled, and he cited Maria Monk, I animal magnetism,Arc., as evidencesof the strength of such opinion. Another remarked that Stone was t right in giving the cash or penny press" a mush- i room character, as like that rich and luxurious ve- getable, their contents were fresh, delicious, deli- t c ite and gratifying to the taste,and what was more. I always manufactured overnight for the extended i r ailing market, and served un fresh in the morning I for use. That they diflered materially from such sheeta as the Contmercial and others, that toadstool likf. were days in producing growth, and when matured, were useless, and in many instances proved rank prison to all who partook of them. Charles II Heed, I'.sq., the recently appointed postmaster of Troy, was called up, and inaae one of the neatest oil-hand speeches that it has been our lot to hear for hi iny days. He was happy, argumentative, and eloquent in every point, and in alluding to the feelings of the enterprising citizens of Troy, he likened her to the daughter at the eastern State of Massachusetts, whose heaving bosom yearned tnwardsthe home of her childhood,.but w?-? ready to link her fate with the proud son of iMew \ork.ai,rovided the band of matrimony was so (irmly fixed that she could add to the com forts of her noble lord, in dreary winter as well as genial summer, the lack ot which at the latter season of the year was not only detrimental to his health, wealth, and happiness, hut ruinous to the prosperity and enterprise o! both parties. That as much a:' the breaking off of' this mnteh was to be regretted on the tii rt of til** youthful bride, yet she would be compelled to give her hand and heart to Boston's wishes, if her intended southern lord did not come forward like a man, and bind her fast with a link not to be broken. Hie had done all that feminine delicacy r would prompt?had extended her hand and s proffered all the estate that she could n sjiare, and if the ce r-m on v could not be readily performed under all the--:? inducements on her part, she would accept of Boston's proposition and throw herself into the arms of herseliool-fellow and play-mate. That niairied she must be to somebody, somebody she would be married to, as dreary winter was fast on the approach, and her comfort, happiness and prosperity depended on a settlement in life before u change had rendered her not worth struggling tor. She was willing to wait another year for York,as she loved him best, but unless he gave some fi evidence of an intention to prepare for the union, at i i i MI i i.. i. mil t-ctiij |"-iiwu. ivm* imvc iiii iil.iii, iilt nr lianrl, and her fortune*. We have not attempted to follow the precise lan- r euageofMr. Herd in his brilliant little speech, set forth as it was with gems of which our rej>ort is only r* an imitation, but we have presented the main tenor j. of tin* principal i>oint in his remark* that arc so up- v plirable to tnc present state of this important union. 0 lie was followed by .T. Akin, Esq., of Dutchess, whose native lmpience would grace a hall of leeislation:?and in reply to a compliment to New York city,Mr. MeMurray,one of our representatives in the l? gislature, responded in t tninner that betokened his eloquence and geniua to he ever ready at a repartee or an argument. The dinner chased, nnd on the invitation of Mr. Postmaster Heed, we visited the rendingroom establish'" I bv the young men of Troy, in which are f nearly all the newspaiiera uiul periodicals of the day, [y as well as tandard works and useful publications of a; all descriptions.

The first regular toast proposed was the ollowing:? The President of the New York, .>11 hum/ ami Troy Railouil May his administration of the attain of the compaly put down all opposition to its enterprise. The President, John Det.afield, Esq., replied, nd concluded by remarking that nil that wasnecesary to accomplish the desire of ilie committee of .rrangements, who had proposed this toast, was for II hands "to pull together"?as the people ol old )utchess had always uone. Jonathan Aikin,u substantial farmer ot Dutchess, hen rose and in a short speech pointed out the ad'antage and benefits of the contemplated road, and 'included by remarking that the farmers ofDutchess, heir wives and children, were, one and all in favor >f internal improvement.

This called up Alderman Leonard, the then act* ng Mayor of our city, who responded to the comiliment from old Dutchess, and gave the followng The Citizent of Troy?May the success of their underaking equal their enterprise and hospitality. Gen. Sriit w.en, of Troy, was called for, and in a ertinent reply alluded to the credit, character, enerprize, public spirit and hospitality of the Trojans n 110 measured terms of praise.

The ninth regular toast:? The l.enislature of New York?Mav its actions In regard lu internal imiirovi mi nts, prove that it is indeed the con eentratcd wisdom of the state. Mr. McMi kray,being loudly railed for, responded on behalf of the member*, nnd pointedly expressed Ilia dissent from the doctrines as avowed by Mr. Scoles, relative to the use of the means of the state lor internal improvements. He alluded to the New Vork and Erie Railroad as a beacon of the dangers if such legislation,that had nearly swamped the ship >f state on the sand banks of destruction, lie said ic was happy to hear it distinctly avowed as it had >een by ex-aldermnn Kich, Vice President of the i ailroad company,that they duluot intend to apply to he state lor aid in this interprise, hut should rest its luccess on the efforts of a power far above and far mperior?that was the people themselves, and in heir hands they were willing to sink or swim.

Thin elegant boat arrived at New York at about 5 o'clock on Friday afternoon. Yesterday morning a large party of gentlemen attended the breaking of ground on this end ot the line in Westchester county, near New Castle Corners. As we have previously stated, a company of about M gentlemen, ot great experience and capability, have contracted lor the whole route of the road, which has been already commenced at the three |M>inls where ground has been broken, and an instalment ot five |>er cent called for from the stoc kholders on the 5th of September. It will also be remembered that the citizens ot Dutchess,Putnam und Columbia have agreed to construct the road through the former counties on their own hook, which leaves but 78 miles to be finished by other means. All obstacles in the right ofwav have been removed, and all that is now essentially n..?.on ajust knowledge of the past, and an enlightened faith in the future. The State, guided by the same wise policy, has subsequently, from time to time, granted indulgence to the creditors of the fire loan," and confident hope is entertained that she will not lose by th?* results of this measure. In the conducting and distributing of this "loan," Ex-Governor Bennett gave the aid of experience and much knowledge of individual character and of the millions thus allocated under hissuperintendence, we have reason to believe that all was done in that spirit of justice and sense of duty which lias made this gentleman to lie regarded as one of the most valued sons of South Carolina. That same exile thus supposed to be absent for seven years, and again in the city of his affections, would also notice a palpable change in the public taste.

We are without a tarili, without it currency without credit, and should be much belter oil, it for a tew months we were without a Congress The tanH bill has pn-vd both Houses; and as i till contains tlie distribution clause, the Fresiden will veto it. Still, the Attorney General think that the present law is sufficient to enable the C?c vernment to colleet the revenues under it. In th meantime all duties are paid under protest.

Th?cotton and corn crojw are abundant, an Heaven is smiling on the industrious and deservin: In the meantime Satan takes care of lun own Wull street, and is stirring up the elements of stril in Congress. The Treaty with Great Britain.?Tt gives i great pleasure to announce that every tiling coi nected with this important affair is now in a fa way to be speedily and amicably settled. The la of the British Commissioners from Maine, passe through t his city yesterday, on his way home froi Washington. He states that all the details ol tli treaty, as we have before given them, have all bee agreed to, and signed by all parties interested; an nothing remains hut the ratification of the treaty b the Senah, which is expected to take place now i a very few days. Indeed, so confident do all partie seem about this business, that even in Canada th price of wild lands has doubled within the last tw weeks and emigrants and settlers who before wet fearful to locate themselves, forfear of a war, at rushing to the land offices, and vieing with eac othf |he ]trlti*li(|urrn. This splendid steam packet, commanded by Ca| tain Kvckholt, a distinguished officer in the Belgia navy, will sail this morning at ten o'clock precisely tor Southampton and Antwerp. The letter bag will close at Gilpin's, in the Exchange, and a Harnden's at nine o'clock. We believe she will take out between thirty an forty first class'passengers, more|than the last Cunar steamer had from Boston to Liverpool. We ar glad to see this, because we want this new lint which connects this with the continent of Europe to succeed fully, amply, and satisfactorily. It is not to be expected that all Atlantic sleati lines will prosper from their start. Indeed experi enrt- has already taught us otherwise. Neither th Cunaril line nor the Great Western have paid, am the former has the neat sum of eighty thousani pounds sterling given to it annually by the Britisl government. It takes time to regulate affairs ii steam us well us in every thing else. There an many obstacles to overcome?elements to brinj under subjection, and experince to be gained,befor money can be 111 ide. We believe that in a fev short months all these will be conquered, and the the steamship lines will pay as handsome an incom as our famous packet ships. It was up-hill wor with them at first. We hope the Helgian government will find it fc their interest to increase their line. The Cot'RTEsiEs of Mot nt Vernon.?The peci liar style of courtesy with wluch Mr. Custis, iheco lateral descendant of the immortal Washington, rt ceives the pilgrims to the shrine of patriotism a Mount Vernon, has long been remarked as suigent vis; but we have never seen a more striking illus tration of its brilliant characteristics than was afford ed a few days since, on a visit of three officers o the steam frigate Gomer, in company with a gentle man of this city.

We perceive mat not ouly the proprietors oi the unurd lint of steamers between Boston and Liver* .>d1, hut even the public themselves arc beginning i) ce that it i.j ust'!c?e to expect that this beautiful nil excellent line will ever pay a profit to its pronators bo long as it continues to run between t 1 .iverjiool and Boston. From a very excellent article in Wilmer'sNews i. Letter" on this subject, with many of the conclut ions contained, in which we cordially agree, we t niuke u lew extracts, on winch we purt*ose slightly 8 to comment. The writer, in making a comparison f various steam companies, thus discourses in favor e of the Cunard Line We have closely observed the management and working of all the great Steam Companies in Europe, anil our desire of being at all time* correct in our observations, 1j is caused most rigid enquiry into every department of their constitution. Nothing could be more opposite to n our wishes or intentions than drawing Hiijust conclusions and invidious distinctions we disdain any such course, and although desirous of placing our friends iu a true potion w ith the great matter to which we draw attention, vet it is done with full assurance of fullilling a duty con -.ributing as much to our credit as it does to our pleasure "e American Line of Steamers, th?- public must discern a far greater amount of seller forethought and practical knowledge than hag ever been brought to bear on any other public concern, and it bus been reierved to the untiring id eneigy of the gentlemen presiding over its Liverpool management to overcome many difficulties which appearr I insurmountable. m With the whole of the above we most cordially agree, except that sufficient forethought and practical knowledge have not been displayed by the conductors, because they have insisted on running ,s from Halifax to Boston instead of to New-Yorkn" With the following remarks as to the efficiency of lr i lie vessels, and the talents and skill of the respective s' commanders, we coincide to the fullest extent:? l' From the day of their first steamer entering the klement ii in which the whole line hat been so marvellously distinguished each vessel has been handled with the utmost vill, and the w hole duties and performances have gone n on with undeviating regularity and correctness. But j when thus rendering a testimony of just merit, wc are compelled to ask whether the return made by the public y l>as been at all adequate to the requirement Have the n p issenger-going community availed themselves of the steamers to any thing like the extent which should follow '8 from the vast superiority they possess and the inducee meats they hold out The reply to this must certainly be in the negative and it is a subject of regret that At0 I mtic steaming should not be as profitable to the pro p moters as it bus been signally triumphant in every other department. How common it is to overlook the main, and only point deficient the means which alone arenecesh sary to ensure the fiual success of a great enterprise and vet in the case of the steamers between America and F.ng1 md, we see parties most deeply interested in their continuance actually taking a part the most diametrically opposed to their success Wc are the last persons who seek to deal unfairly with the fine-sailing ships trading b 'tween the United States and Englam I;they are deserving [P of every support i but at the same time that we freely render every meed of praise due to their peculiar charac" ter, it would bo ridiculously absurd to drnw comparisons between the extreme speed, regularity, and certainty of the steamers, and the necessarily tedious and lengthy voyages of sailing packets. Wc have heard no such statement as that the North American Steam Line does not i- make a return to its spirited proprietors, but we have n leason to believe such to be the tact; and we found the opinion ?n a knew ledge of the enormous cost of ocean 1 steaming, which is really unavoidable, and only to be 3 judged of by parties conversant with the money-devouring power it has to keep going. We cannot allow our beautiful sailing packets to t be thus run down without protesting against it. In j many instances our packets have made ns fine trips across the Atlantic as the steamers have. Hut the closing paragraph of the above speaks volumes. The line does not pay, and for the simple reason that the vessels do not trade to the right place. The followu ing is the concluding paragraph of the article It is well known that the name of Mr. Cunard was bound up with this concern at the period of its first oute set; however, it is now certain that the principal of the j property is in the hands of a few sober and earnest men, who have carried on the w hole details from the first com J mencement, perfectly free from nny thing like slap-dash, '.nit with the deepest sense of the responsibily they have incurred. Such is the concern so worthy of support: it I i; only for the public to see it in a proper light, and pasp nengers by the steamers will increase in u threefold proportion. The latter conclusion we deny; the Cunard .learners will not only never increase the number o^ iheir passengers so long asjthey continue to run beII t ween Liverpool and Boston, but they will continue to decrease in number, until it will be found impossible to continue the line. The fact is that New York possesses all the advantages of Liverpool and 'r London combined; whilst Boston resembles Glasgow in every point of view. And it would be just asabi *urd for us to start a line of steamers to run between \"ew York and Glasgow, and expect them to pay, as (or the proprietors of the Cunard line to run th?irsbeI iween Liverpool and Boston, and still expect a proi. lit. Let them therefore, if they are "sober and -arnest" men reform thiserrorimmediately andsend (heir shij>s to New York.

Mr. Pkeston from the committee on Military Affairs, reported back the bill for reorganising the army, recommending that the Senate refuse to concur in the amendments of the House, and ask a committee ol conference, in order that soma compromise might be agreed upon, while the armv aiv propriation was pending, and the Senate accepted the report. Some lew bills were read a third time and passed, when at half past twelve, the tariff bill was called up, and Mr. Calhoun took the door in opposition.? Mr. C. began his speech as follows:?"Mr. President, the tariff bill of 1823 lias by common consant, been called the 'bill of abominations'?now, sir, as bad us that bill was, this is far worse. This bill is worse from the objectionable manner of its passage. 1 pass over the fact that it supercedes the compromise act. 1 pass over the rei>eal of the restrictive provision of the Land Distribution Bill?not because iliey are not of great importance, but because there arc other considerations of greater importance still. Sir, 1 anticipate the deepest injury to the legislation of the ceuntry from thus setting aside the pledged faith of Congress." The speech was most philosophical, most ingenious, and most able throughout. lie said the tariff of 1828, that act wickedness and folly, had been returned back upon th? country with retributive justice. To this art he ascribed the inflation of the vast credid bubble?the destruction of the hanking system, anil all the multitude of evils attendant upon those events. He drew a contrast between the prosperous condition of the business of the eauntry under low duties, and its depression under the prohibitory system, and declared, as an historical fact, that under low duties, an impulse had been given to the grent interests of ilie country which they had never before received. Ann now," said he, under the light of nil this blaze ol experience, n is proposed to renew the protective system." "From what is protection sought!"'said Mr. C.; Is it from violence, or fraud, or oppression So sir. It is protection against low pricesnothing else. It is a scheme to empty the pockets of one portion of the peoiile into those of the other. Protection is not the woru. It should be called tribute, levy, plunder, or if that is too harsh, charity, aid, assistance." He spoke for an hour, in the most nervous and condensed style, and without wastinq a single word. Mr. Betton followed, and (here are two or three other speeches to be made, but the, will be short and the first vote is expected to be taken to-day. The House is engaged upon private hills." Mr. Vdams occupied the morning hour in a reply to Mr Cashing, on the report of tlie Indian Committee, ensuring the Secretary of War, and by implication the President. Chatham Thkathk.?An immense audience was present last evening at this|*>pular house. On Monday evening, the last of the season, and the benefit "I the manager, a bill is presented which eclipses the whole of the Reason post.

Have you any thing to oft'er why such should not be done 1 Dr?rr?-1 can only say, sir, that I am not guilty of the charge, and will read the few remarks I have to make. Deinyer then read a denial, from which we make an extract, and which contains the substance of the whole:? You are passing such sentence uj>oii me iu whieh I ran say fearlessly that I am not guilty of the charge. If such be pronounced upon me, I can only say that I would only call upon my (iod, and bay to him in your presence that 1 am not guilty.'" He hoped the one that really committed the deed would come forward, Stc. He concluded by hoping that he might be forgiven by God, who know s the hearts of all men." The paper did not contain more than a round denial, and exhibited little or nothing in extenuation. Judge Betts then addressed the prisoner as follows:? t 01 kt?June* as well as courtsare bound to go according lo the evidence that may be presented before them.? It it only from that they can judge. They cannot look intothe hearts of men, to know the guilt or innocence that may prevail there?and must be governed by the testimonyol the various w itnessess that are called. They are only expected to arrive at conclusions alter duly weighing the various and|ofteu times conflicting testimony that a case presents. From such sources not only are conclusions drawn in a court of jnstice, but they govern all the ramifications and ordinary transactions of life. You have been put upon your trial on a charge of a very high and grave offence, one which th?law* of your country consider among those of the deepest and most serious magnitude. You were placed by that country in an ottice of honor and high trust. You were interested in preserving the character of that ottice pure and unsullied, not only from the confidence that had been exhibited towards you but from every idea of social and mural duty. It not only reflected honor and credit upon yourself, but upon those around and connected with you, and should have been most sacredly and inviolably guarded. The Iramer* ol our laws, however, knowing that the mere sentiment of honor will not al\vays control the various individuals entrusted with the extensive and manifold duties ot the public business, have gone further, and said we will not only guard the public interest against unfaithful servants, but superadd in cases s?ch as yours as disgraceful and truly painful punishment. They say for a violation of trust such art which could be airected?110 passion or prejudice to promote or gratify. They heard the testimony with as much calmness and dispassionate enquiry as they could have done had you been a man born and brought up in a foreign country. They have carefully weighed tin- charges that liave been bi ought against you, and the various facts oonnected with the case. Upon these facts being submitted to the jury it was their province to decide whether in their opinion you were guilty of having taken $24j from a letter in the Post-office, which had been committed to your charge. They have pronounced against you, and it is my painful duty to say 1 am fully satisfied as to the justness of the verdict which they have rendered. I cannot say what was your motive in taking the guilty step which you did I only know that the verdict must be lookud upon as perfectly correct, and one fully hornu out by the evidence. I regret being enabled to say this, because you stand before this court with many circumstances around you which must necessarily enlist sympathy, first as regards your own person, you being yet in the vigour aud strength of early life you have an interesting wife and a family of five small children, who have looked up to and depended upon you for sup]>ort?you come presenting evidence of a hitherto good character. In early life you were placed in a station where it could be fully and" advantageously developed?you went into a store a? clerk?was advanced by your good conduct to the situation of a principal?and subsequently married into a highly respectable lamily. This was brought out in the testimony, and was shown with a view to placing your character and conduct in the most favorable light?still it lias failed to divert from you conviction as to that one guilty act, for which you are about to incur the suffering and the penalty of the law. I regret that this is the case. Communications such as these are of great pain to a magistrate whose du y it is fully to present them. The punishment will not fall upon you alone, but upon those who are near and dear to you, and whose destiny is involv??erty would not in itself deter man from the commission of crime, when oftentimes the fear of bringing disgrace upon their families and their friends, would prevent them from putting in force the base designs they may have formed against the welfare of society, and they have much relied upon it as a safe guard. This, however, judging from the evidence presented, has not been sutKcient to prevent you committing the serious crime which had been laid to your charge. The act w as not only committed by you, but was done fer the purpose of gain, heedless, perhaps as regarded the danger of discovery and the punishment.? Vou knew that you w as not only betraying a solemn trust, hut was committing a heinous offence against the laws of vonr country. These would be considerations in the minn of the Court to sentence you to the severest de- gree of punishment you are liable, as you are aware, to I Resentenced for -21 years, and Congress seems to have thought there arc cases in which the whole penalty should be inflicted. In the present instance you have takeu money which full into your hanris in the course of your trust, which did not belong to you, and it appears to be one of the strongest cases that the law had contemplated. If the Court were to exercise its poH cr luiiy as reinieu 10 me lacw, u wuiiki ue uiiucuii to pronounce a shorter period than the extreme term?the Jury, however, have aeen worn.-thing to make thein think your case worthy of recommendations as to mitigation of penalty, whether on account of your family, or what, the Court cannot say, hut they have unanimously asked that your punishment may not l>c placed to the full extent of the law. .The Court is bound to take it into consideration, and to hope that the guilty act on your part was that possibly you may have tommittcd it'without premeditation?that the money was suddenly thrown into your way, overcame your probity for a moment, and you concealed it, hut that il you had had time for reflection,?if the stage was not waiting and required the instant return of the mail, vour b?tter judgment and your honest feelings might have saved you from the guilty consummation of the act. In such a case the court and jury may sup|>ose that you would not have yielded, and that you aci#d rather through weakness than frem premeditated guilt, indulging the anxiety of being placed in immediate means of exti icating yourself from your difficulties rather than a pit-concerted design to betray our trust. It is on these grounds principally that the jury must have been desirous of speaking in your behalf, and the court will feel authorized in not awarding the highest degree of punishment. Still for all this 1 cannot hold out to you the slightest intimation that there is any doubt of your being a guilty man. What arc the actual facts in relation to the case, or w hnt inducements caused von to commit the aet 1 cannot sav?vou ran. If the judgment is in conformity with the facts, then the puniihmcnt will he hut a small reflection on your mind compared with that of another. You have to go to prison, to labour, and toil, and antler hut you go, too, with the conviction that you have not only done this deed, but you have also followed it by invoking your Ooil to bear witness to that which you believe not to be true. The impri?oument into which joii are about going must be of long duration. Although j on area young man now, the change in your situation will be so sudden anil of such a naturw, that you can hardly be able to say you will aurvive its rigor*." It is n rare thing that a man cornea out of State prison alter being sentenced to it for ten years. But if, more fortunate, you do aurvive?if you do come out, and return to your family?(till you come bark to that family no more as you once did, but as one from the dead?your children will have grown into manhood and womanhood, or their fate may have beem otherwise fixed?you hare left them by your conduct alone, and they have got to get on without your aid in life. These are coniiderations of deep and affecting import?and, as n father, a hu?band and a son, must excite the most lively feelings of sor~ow and regret in your bo-om. Your aged father, who has attended you in court, has created much sympathy?lie has been for several years in your h'"i*e.hn|d and appear! to lee) deeply the situation in which by your conduct the whole haa been placed. The old gentleman can hardly hope to see you again fn the world bearing your part in life. Thi* alone inuat have atr\ing effect on votir feeling*. Yet wherever you are,whether destined to survive and return to your family or not, show that by your conduct it' you have been led to do wrong once you are not depraved,but are determined to fulfil to th?* utmost of your ability, all the duties that may be enjoined upon yon. The court, under the influence of the recommendation of the jury, will sentence you to the shortest term. I therefore condemn you to imprisonment for the term of ten years from this day.

While the virtuous portion of the community are confounded nt theixposure of so mu."h vice and rottenne?a, in the exclusive fashionable circle in which the partiea have moved for the last two or three years, the member! of the same cov/rtrit stand agaat w ith apprehension and fear that this is only the key or entering wedge to the mysteries of their order, and that further discloaurex will follow, which will drag them down from the falae position in which thay now stand, show them in their true light, and exclude them from mingling with and contaminating the virtuous and respectable portion ol the community.? Ah-eady symptoms of distrust have been ?xhlbited in many fainilies that nguied in the tame cotcric with the partie* in this case, from the raking up of matter* that at the time appeared insignificant,that transpired at reveral fancy and eiety ball du/ing the last teasen Where this n>a'.ter w ill cud, time alone can determine, but c may eapect shortly to learn sever il curious, astounding, and rich development! in quarters little drea .ned?f by the sober citizen, uninitiated in the progress of vico, rascality, and liceuiiousnest in the preseut artificial fashiouaole coterie of check apronites. As we predicted, the Bowery Crim. Con. case has chalk* ed out some fine fat jobs for the lawyers, and much food for fun, jealousy and philosophy. The suits in the case stand thus at present. William Venables has been bonnd over to answer the charge of an assault and battery on Peter V. 1 lusted, aud obliged to give security for the maintenance ofhiswifrona charge of abandonment. In addition to this, his friend and partner in aitliction, William J. Morgan, and himself have been indicted by the grand jury for an assault and battery 011 their wives, and held to bail on a charge of trespass, at the suit of Frederick A. Bowne* ?f No. 1 Chatham Square, the door of whose chamber they broke open on Wednesday raorning, when in search of Hutted, whom they first frightened by the flourish cf a gun, dagger and club, and afterwards Hogged. On Ine other hand, ex-As?istant Alderman Howe, and his friend Peter V. Husted, are bonnd in the sum of $1*,000 each, to answer the charge of having assaulted and had criminal intercourse" with Mrs. Mary Ann Venables and Mrs. Mary Jane Morgan, by which their husbands have been damaged in the sum of $20,000 each, in peace of iimiu, iuhii oi conjugal pleasures, ana tne estrangement 01 the affections _ot two handsome fashionable wives and helpmeet*. Mrs. Morgan nnd her dear friund Mrs. Venables, have come to the conslusion that they have lost two jealouspated husbands, neither of whom are possesstd of a spark of generous confidence, and consequently are not worth caring for. They are now residing at 77 Cathariue street, aud intend shortly to open a thread and needle store in copaitnership, which will doubtless be patronised by all the beaux mid raktsof the city, and will consequently be a profitable concern. The ladies maintain that they are perfectly innocent of the charge alleged against them, and that alter they have passed through the fiery ordeal of a public trial, they will come out as chaste and pure as liockland Lake ice. llowe and Husted having given bail yesterday, are busily engaged in hunting up evidence to prove that they had no parlor parcel in the rural enjoyments at Gray s Kerry, and confidently expect to establish their inuocence by that all |>otcnt shield, that lawyers know so well how to place around a client, an alibi. There has already a strong party sprung up, who boldly assert their belief in the innocence of the ladies, and that the whole story of the Gray's Kerry frolic, is a fabrication set up by some frieml of the Bowery husbands, whose jealous temperaments eagerly caught at the bait; and from trifles light as air," they conjured up confirmation strong as holy writ." As an ovidence, they cite the sneaking manner in which Venables crawled under the counter to listen to the conversation between Howe and his wife, and his cowardly conduct in taking his revenge by inflicting personal'violence on her instead of 011 her suppose*! paramour. Morgan's manner has been still more singular in the transaction. He grasps at every thing tending to cast a taint 011 his wife's character, without examining the source from which it umanates, and appears to hanker after a notoriety not to be envied, lie has not only published the story of his own shame and liis wife's infamy, in some of thecommonest grog shops in itie city, but has even voluntarily culled on the publishers of newspapers to give them the lull particulars of the transaction, as lie understands it, for fear that the miuutest incident might lose some of iti coloring in laying it before the public. Surely the man must be deranged in his intellect, or a consummate fool. '1 hus we have given the full particulars of this case, as far as they have come to light, and dismiss it for the present. Amilgamitio* Susan Thompson, one ol the ugliest specimens of Africa's daughters extant, was brought up on (the charge of'robbing an Irishman, named,|Daniel Holly, of $7, while he was enjoying himself in a tele a le/e with her, in a miserable den in Orange street.

Auburn. [Correspondence of the Henhl.] Auburn, July 22,1842. The flite of Auburn. James Gordon Bennett, Esq.:? Dear Sir? Being a reader, as well as a subscriber, of your valuable paper (the New York Herald), and somewhat acquainted with Auburn and its inhabitants, allow tne to correct your correspondent in one or two ot his descriptions (in a letter from this place bearing date of the 16th inst., signed W. S.) of the tlitc residing in Auburn, the loveliest village ol the plain," and notwithstanding he caused no little excitement among that portion of our citizens known as the second class. You are aware, perhaiis, that any position held by the first, at all conspicuous, which happens to be noticed in any public journal, or more especially the "New York Daily Herald," causes a great many questions to be asked, such as Where can I get a Herald!" Who can this correspondent be"!" Is it this or that young lellow from the city, that notes all of our movements?" And a great many more equally as interesting. The first part of his letter is nearly correct in regard to the management of the State Prison? "cause vy!" its undar whig control. Mr. P. and C., agent and keeper, perform their duties, it is supposed, to the satisfaction of the inspectors, Messrs. Ivison, Ashbrv, and Fosdick (who are residents of this town). The last named gentleman was chosen chairman, which was considered a wise choice by the twogreat leading whig?," Messrs. Wm. Ivison and D. Britten. In regard to the theological seminary, he has given you a very correct description; the ability of its professors stands unquestioned. The outward appearance of its students denotes piety as well as poverty, and, on the whole, perhaps, this depository of young saintshas a moral influence over a great portion of this community. His opinion of the second church is very good. He speaks of Dr. S. as being an eloquent speaker, onty lacking energy. Hut we Auburn folks say, as a minister, he can be called with great propriety, Facile Prineeps. The f'itt, generally speaking, attend this church, from the fart that everything connected with it is of the first water." It would do your soul good to see some of them march with that firm and steady step up those long and spacious aisles, for instance, Miss P., although of foreign extraction, mows a wide swarth. Miss S., daughter of the Colonel, is no doubt an excellent girl, as far as her domestic duties are concerned, but Madame Rumor denies that she is engaged to any merchant. Although a stranger, he has given a good likeness of Mr. P., the only son. His dignified cousin. Mr. C., presents a very striking contrast. W. 9. nas confused the names ?f the J?s so much, that it can hardly b? understood by those who are most intimately acquainted with the family. Mr. E. J., is a very heavy dealer in dry goods, \*c., and an uncommon good looking youne man, a great favorite of the ladies, and to cap the climax, wears the handsomest pair of whiskers in town. lie (Madame K umor says} stands high in the affections of Mise r\, wnonas t>een nnsent tor some time, dui nns rrturned in all her loveliness. Miss 1)?s, the Hostonian lady, is an innocent appearing girl. beinjr?|uite young, anil very pretty. Miss U.t the lady alluded to by W.S., as being the best singer he hoard after leaving the city, is a pretty girl, fine form, and presenlaa noble appearance, but rather inferior to Miss Maria S. in point of singing. W. J. was ini^in ortned with regard to the organist. Mr. H the hank clerk, merely filled a vacancy, occasioned by the absence of Mr. C., the regular organist and chorister. The whigs are blustering and blowing at every motion made by the President. Rut go ii Tv, I' >s f"r '.hem to kick ngainst ihe pricks."

From gentlemen who arrived from Washington last evening, I learn that there ore rumors that Lord Ashburton has determined upon leaving the city in a very few days, preparatory lor his return to Europe, and that the boundary difficulties between the two nations had been Ierlormers, discourse most eloquent music." The difficulty of access, no doubt, deters many from visiting this place, that otherwise would, were the facilities of communication greater, for the attractions must be of no ordinary kind, to compensate for a ride of nine hours over^ thirty miles of staging?surmounting in mc w?y, 111*- mmou? neiderberg, a hill three miles long, notorious for the many deedsofvalor" there achieved during the late war." Notwithstanding this serious obiection, I have had the pleasure of meeting here with a number from our city, from Albany, nistagrawa, a mountain peak, some seven miles farther up the vale. It rises from the plain below, in a bold, towering clitt, to the height of several hundred feet the rocks at the summit "overhang and tutting their confounded base," so much as to inspire terror in the mind of the traveller, pursuing his way on the road that w inds beneath. We found the ascent not quite an easy n? promenading Broadway, yet such was the charm of the pleasant company we had collected, thai all the difficulties we encountered, the reverse of the ufunl order of thing1', were diminished from mountains into mole-hills A view from the top amply repaid us for all our labour. Standing there on a platform of roeks. bared by the storms of centuries, almost suspended in mid-air. we gazed with admiration upon the prospect that Iny opened at our feet, the which it were folly in me to attempt to describe.

The season is now drawing to a closc, and the transactions in the markets are consequently very small. The prices are, however, tending downwards, under the double influence of the appreciating currency at the leading points of purchase, and the prospect ol a large crop. The letters from those uoints of the large cotton districts, which centrally situated, are favorable for observa'ion, coming from intelligent and disinterested parties, represent the growing crop as the most abundant tcer yet produced. The full extent of this observation would carry the crop to, say '2,300,000 bales; but it has been calculated heretofore that the physical power available to" picking out," could not realise so large a quantity by 100,000 bales. It is very early as yet to lorm estimates of the crop, as so much depends upon casualties between naw and October.
