NEW YORK HEIIALD.' \?w lurk, Nouit*)', HfiHriabrr 14, 1M4. To tlir Uuiliieaa anil Trailing l'ubllc. The decay of p jliticM excitement, and the revival ol a lou 11 baiiu n in every cir.-.le bl the community, are warite I, that it bjgini to reader tome new arrangement* ou our part n*ce?4ary, in order to meet the nitural in crene of ?lvoi ttser? an l readers Kirm ol Rc.ii>:rs aul Subacri&ers?Ail persons. lamilies, i*m, o.-supj tint are supplied with 'ho IIk*?lu by Nvs'ijvs, r jii ie in >r? rerularly served by our city cariters.

But as we have now got a tariff, and tiie manufacturer* generally seem very well satisfied with it* details, it is not probable that they will trouble themselves, or spend much money in order to defeat what may be, after all, a mere chimera of tiie whig leader*. Then, again, the separation of the whigs from Mr. Tyler'* administration, will do them no good but th? extent of that movement, for good or evil, we cannot now stop to calculate. From all present appearances, and from all we can a tlier in the various quarter* of the political horizon, the result seems exceedingly doubtful. It .-terns to be a sort of new experiment, the working of which no one can safely calculate upon. The candidal"- are all good and highly unexceptionable men So that no vantage can be gained on the score ol personal popularity. The true issue of the fight t-. ems to be, "Shall Mr. Clay be the next President!" It Brndiah is elected, Mr. Clay will go into the Presidential chair; if not, he is gone for ever. I: is possible tint the whig* may carry the State !n- a small majority, but it is one of the most doubtl i! contests we ever saw. They will fight hard, and strain every nerve for if defeated now, not only is Mr. Clay gone, hut all their chance* at the next Preidential election will be sent spinning adown the stream of time." All the friends of (.ten. Scott, of course, will vote against the whig*, because they w i ii f fn \T r r.lav dialiPit nrwl Hnn?? tin All V,-J U"",VM "vuv "I" A'11' Tyler's friends will vote against them. All the capitalists will vote against them, for the reasons we have already assigned. And, in short, there will be a combination of all the elements that can possibly be brought to bear against them. To oppose this, there will also be a combination of all thp elements that can b? brought to bear in favor of Mr. Clay, and they are many and powerful. We ar*' told that they are going to send funds on h-re from all parts ot the country, to carry this election, because this is the citadel. If this is taken, the city will be sacked, and the troops put to ihe rout. This is all rery well. We can do nothing without money. Kentucky has two and a half millions of specie in her banks. Tennessee, Indiana, and Illinois have some nlso, say three millions, in their banks. They must all contribute. Let the banks of these States send on about #1,000,000 in specie, consigned to certain persons in this city, and we'll sec what can be done for the cause. Every Tiling is ai mhkeachment" we interpose our flat denial. We make no pretensions to be Executive organ"?" court journal"?or the official of Captain Tyler. It is true, it has served the purpose of a variety ofnewspaieak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth," on all occasions. But while we approve of the general policy of John Tyler, we have disapproved of the conduct of many of his office-holders, and particularly the last act of theirs in this city, in purchasing such a lump of old absurdity as M. M. Noah, and in making such a miserable weathercock the organ in New-York. 1 never would or could consent to pull in the traces witfi such a rotten fellow as Noah?a man who has no principles, nor much talent?and who, besides, has been the cowardly instigator of all the attacks on my character for the last six years in New York, ft Cantain John Tvlpr him infn fnmmiininn and gives him an office, of any kind, he is welcome to him but he will find out his mistake before long. Hereafter, we trust that all newspapers, editors, politicians, and other knaves, will do us justice, and not defame our character by saying that we can play in the same band of music with Noah. We are free and independent, and have some character.? We believe that John Tyler ha3 many more merits, and a higher order of talent than his bitter foes will admit but we also believe that many of his office holders are some of the greatest rascals fed by any administration, and we advise him to look out for defaulters by-and-bye. Our ambition is to publish a high-toned, energetic newspaper, with the most correct intelligence of all kinds. We are the organ of the present age, but not bound to any President, any politician, any man, any party, any sect, or any clique. Moke Apologies?Mu. James Lee on the Stand. ?We understand that Mr. James Lee, one of the Committee of Arrangements at the Ashburton dinner, has been explaining round town the reason of the late indignity to the President; and the way it is said to have occurred, is a caution to all the rules

U1 CU^UCIIC. It appears that the question was calmly discussed in the committee, with much philosophy and good diction, under the presiding care of James G. King, as to whether the President should be cheered or not, and how they could contrive gracefully to give him the go-by. At last, after a good deal of deliberation, it was decided that no cheers should be given, either to the toast of the President or the Queen, but that they should crowd on all sail, and give cheers, the whole nine cheers, for Lord Ashburton, at representative of the tyiuen of England at that dinner. This plan would have been curried out, had it not been for some blundering blockheads of Englishmen, who did not know any thing of the secret deliberations and private arrangements, but who only knew what was customary, and what was etiquette on such occasions, and they proposed to cheer the Queen, which the committee then seemed to agree in. The most remarkable feature in this explanation, or apology, is the deliberation with which those solemn simpletons, the committee, set themselves to work in order to find some excuse for committing a most gross breach of goo J manners, and a most ungentlemanly act, for the purpose of gratifying a private feeling against the President. Here were a set of men, claiming to know all about the nicest points of etiquette and gentility, and to carry them out in uinr miily uuiug, uiwiciiiuiiiig lo^eiiier, nna enacting h melancholy farce, by making rules to violate all etiquette, good manners, and common decency and (his too, prompted by the most paltry feelings imaginable. This is the most miserable apology that has been given yet, and the most ludicrous. It is even worse than that given by Mr. Gales, who says that the Queen was toasted because she wore petticoats.? However, let it go for what it is worth, and float down the stream of time with other dead fishes Who is the next to give an apology 1 We shall have as many apologies before we have done, as there were members of the blundering Committee. Dinner to Mr. Wkbster.?There are a few gentlemen in Boston who yet possess propriety and decency. If Mr. Webster was allowed to pass through New York without a nod of recognition, Boston is Boston still. We find the following correspondence in a Boston paper:? ScrT.e, 1843. To the How. Daniel Wemtkb:? 8m.?The undesigned, desirous of evincing their gratitude for your eminent and patriotic public services, dur. ing a long term of yean, and especially for the part sustained by you in the late negotiations which have been so skilftillv conducted and happily terminated in a treaty with Great Britain, invite vou to meet them at a public dinner, at such time as shall be convenient to yourself and others. Boston, Sept. 9, 1842. Okhtlsmfm,?I havu received your letter of the 8th inst., inviting me to a public dinner, and am duly sensible ofthe value of this pioofofyour regard. It will flire me great pleasure to meet all my fellowcitizens, who may desire to see me: and the mode of such meeting! should leave to them, with a preference, however, on my part, if equally agreeably to other*, that the /tinner r.Kmil.1 I... ,1 I ?.,tk *n.? >ko> it... should V hail in inch a manner n? ?hali impose the leant restricUoni, and bent ?uit tho convenience of all who may hp diipoiod to attend it.

Lnainn, Chahlii P. Cwatii, William arplrion, Abbott Lawrkncf., and othera. Let ua see now whether the gentlemen of Boston know how to treat the representative of the Republic. Theatrical.?The Fark is really doing a good business since it reduced its prices. The only drawback was in throwing away three nights on Field's Such As It Is," a mass of the greatest trash that ever was penned. Since that was wound up, the Park has resumed the old sterling plays, and has had capital houses. The Chatham is going ahead as usual. Nothing can tame the energies, or mould the novelties of Thorne. The Bowery has turned info a pistareen theatre to prolong its existence?but pistareens are scarce currency in these days. The next step of the big Bowery bubble will be to bring down the prices to a [icayune?a picayune playhouse?and I then shut up. I he Olympic enters ui>on one of the moat doubt ful season* it ever had. Its hintory will be comical. rEh Th'8 will be a regular holiday at the American Museum. This building, with its hundred windows, extensive Balcony, and fine Garden, will af(ord a fine opportunity for visitors to view the processions, all of which will paw here. Hainum will have his tlags and streamers flying, and his military band of music in fall blast. Ten Balloons will ascend from the Garden in the course ol the day, and two splendid performances will h?? given by the inimitable Yankee Winchell, Harrington the Ventriloquist and Magician, i?Irn. Hood, the popular Vocalmt, Celeste, the Gipscy Girl,\'c., which, with 500,(**> curiosities, present a rare treat for twenty-five cents The Procession to-day.?We feel almost certain, and yet we deeply regret the conviction, that the procession will end tn something resembling a farce. The design was conceived in bad taste, and we fear cannot be carried out without ridicule, j Those who started it, no doubt, meant well, but loo mauy hack politicians have since thrust themselves into it, as a stepping stone to get office, and of course they will take all the credit, if there be any, from the original movers. The independent men of all parties, who had a proper feeling with regard to the indignity offered to the President, can never be brought lo unite in a movement thai is far cical or selfiih. The press of all parties, throughout the country,(has reverberated the feelings of the nation on this subject, and that will be a sufficient rebuke. That is amoral retribution far more sublime than can possibly be met with in a procession of white horses and 26 carriaeea. each full of ladies. and a little boy with a banner. We hoi>e, for the sake of all things connected with the event, that it may go off well, but we confess it does seem to border on the ridiculous at present. We shall see. Business?Skoars ?Among the numerous advertisers in this day's paper, we refer to Henriques, 51 William street, who hasjust opened a segar store in that honest, cheap, money-making, money-saving, decent street. Henriques was formerly a broker in Wall street, and has operated for years to the amount of millions in that avenue of Satan. Like many other sensible men he has had a real revivalhas abandoned the devil and fancy stocks, and has now opened a store on cash principles?with good artiales?and is determined to make money in the good old fashioned way, as taught by Moses and the Prophets. This is one of the best symptoms of the returning sanity of the age in matters ofbusiness.that we have seen. Wall street, thank Heaven, will soon be deserted. By-and-bye, the devil will be left there, with the Ashburton committee alene. Out at Last.?Col. Webb walked down Wall street on Saturday last, and appeared to be getting better fast. The day was beautiful?but the sight was melancholy. Alas poor Webb! how much more comfortable and respectable you would have been this day, if you had followed the sound advice and good lessons I gave you in 1829, '30, '31, and '32! Advice.?Mrs AnnS. Stephens, presiding divinity of the Sunday Morning News, will have to keep her boys in order. She promised to us in person, in our office, that she would make them behave decently, and she must keep her promise, otherwise we shall have to apply the birch to their bottoms, and no mistake. Manifold Letter Writer.?In the following from the Tribune we fully concur:? Important Invention?Orkati.t Improved Manifold Writer.?We respectfully invite the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Mr. Lewis Francis of No. 83 William street, corner of Maiden Lane, in this city, in relation to his highly improved Manifold Writer, which has given such universal satisfaction to all who have used it. The utility and extraordinary value of this im provement may b? inferred from the fact that the American Institute, after a full and impartial investigation into its capacities and merits, promptly awarded Mr. Francis a medal for his highly improved Manifold Writer. Having for a long time used this writer of Mr. Francis ourselves, we can with confidence speak of it as one of the greatest improvements of the age. We have repeatedly made five and even six copies of various proceedings, all plain and legible, by means of this writer, within the same time required in making one and the impression of each was as durable as if written with the best ink upon ordinary paper; thus saving much time and labor, and consequently expe ise in copying. All members of the bar, merchants, editors, reporters, clerks in public offices, of courts or stores, collectors of ship or other news, banks, insurance offices, post masters, kc.., &c., should not fail to bo possessed of this inestimable improvement for the facilitation and despatch of business, as it enables them to multiply copies of letters, qptices, documents or any other paniTR tn ftiiv pvtpnt thpv nh>QB?> ami thn rnlnrincr mrittpr imparted to each sheet is so indelible that time does not diminish its brightness. It is the ne plus ultra of despatch and correctness in writing, as six copies arc made as quickly as one, and all equally correct. To all men of business, this writer is of incalculable value. We would not be without it for $500 a year and to many it will render a saving of even more than that. Its cheapness commends it to the attention of all, ai the cost is not more than writing on ordinary paper. We advise all to try it as long as we have, and we are confident they would never aftar be without it, were it four times thu price it is. Economy in Fujitr.?Buy a barrel of flour?it costs $5 to $6?bake your own bread?and you will save half the expense of bread, and have the article lar more healthy and nutritious. Bakers' bread is most exorbitpnt in price, just what it was in 1836, when flour was $12 per barrel. New Hats.?About one dozen differently shaped new fashionable hats have just come out this season Among such a multitude, who can tell which is the neatest and bestl Which is the hat 1 City Intelligence. Pickpockets Caught.?On Saturday evening, officers W. H. Stephens and McGratn observed two celebrated pickpockets on board the Jersey City ferry boat, dodging about among the passengers from Philadelphia, and finally arrested them in the act of picking a gentleman's pocket, and brought them to the watcnhouae, where they gave the names of Joseph Anthwaite andWm. Parmeton. On the person of Parmeton was found a gold detached lever watch, thirteen hole jewel, with a gold curb and small fob chain and key, which are 1 1 1 ...u? i a??|?|?uoru iu IlliVt* urcu muiru. xiiubc wiiu imvr lost articles of this description, will do well to call on the above officers. The Alms House Rowdies.?Jem Dunn, on? oi the trio who created the row at the Alms Housa, a* mentioned in yesterday's Herald, was held on ivro additional warrants for assault and battery, ami .1 he should manage to escape on these, there is still a warrant from King's county in the hands of one oj our officers, on which he will be arrested. Rill Nelson, aiiat Country, the cove who nourished the dirk, was recognised by officer W. H Stephens, as the person who rotibed the store ?f Sheldon, Phelps Co., 27 South William street, of $180 worth of bowie knives and other fine cutlery, on the 27th of Aug. last. The go?4a were delivered by Country to one of his female acquaintances named Eliza Foster, for safe keeping, from whom they were recovered by Stephens and Sparks, who arrested and brought her to the Tombs. Hotei. Robhery.?Yesterday afternoon officer Sweet arrested a fellow named Freedom G. Newton, on the charge of being concerned in robbing the bearding-house of Beniamin Graffain, at Boston, of money, silver plate xc.t to a large amount.? When he wus arrestee^ he had on his back a coal belonging to Ebenezer S. Cooper, a boarder at the Exchange Hotel,Courtlandt street, wlfich was stolen from his room on Thursday last. Cooper said the cost was given him by a Mrs. Lawson, who accompanied him from Boston, and who was arrested by v-nivin and sweet on Saturday, and sent Dack to that city on the charge of being engaged in robbing several boarding-houses. Since then, it has been ascertained she robbed three boarding-nouses in this city during her brief sojourn. A portion of the property stolen from Mr. l?raffain, was found by Sweet in Newton's trunk. He was accordingly locked up in the Tombs to answer the several charges against him. Boakpino-Hotjse Thief ?A loafer named Bob Hughes, entered the boarding-house of Timothy Sullivan, 430 Water srreet, on Saturday night, anil helped himself to a pair of pants, a nair of boots, and various other articles of old clothes belonging to several of the boarders. Rob was caught as ne was leaving the premises, and conveyed to the watchhouse, and yesterday was committed to the Tombs, to await the disposition of Judge Lynch to-inorrow morning. Dock Rats.?One ol this genus named Rill Simpson, was caught by Martin Salisbury, on Saturday night, in the cabin of the sloop Levant, Captain Astrander. Ivinir at the foot of North \Tonrp.strpi?t having effected an entrance by forcing open the cabin door. This being considered a suspicious and unlawful act by Mr. Salisbury, he lugged Simpson to the watchhouse, and yesterday morning he was sent to the Tombs, although he said he was drunk, and did not enter the cabin with felonious intent. WATcimorsK Crr.pRtTs.?Among the rowdies, blackguards, drunkards, Arc., brought to the watchhouse on Saturday night, were Catherine Williams and Mary Webster, the former brought in by officer Cocke fair, and the latter by some citizens, charged with stealing money, but from whom or wnere, did not ap|>ear, as no one appeared against either of them during yesterday. They were, however, locked up for further examination. A Hoprfi'l Convkrt.?Bill Neale was yesterday found drunk in the street, by a Washingtonian, who took him to No. H2 llooscvelt-street, to sign the pledge and get his dinner, as a bounty tor the act. When Bill arrived at the house, he was ushered into a room, while his friend went into the next to get a pWdge for his signature. Bill, however, did not await his return, but helped himself to a c?ar and decamped. Hp was pursued, however, captured, and locked up in the Tombs by order of i Justice Merritt. Weehawken. [Correipoodcuce of the Herald.] wkeiiawkem, sept. 8, 1842. Pic Nic Party?Conovti Bont Club. I)ear Bennett A rtcherchi and delightful Pic Nic came ofl' 011 Wednesday last, on the grounds of J. G. King, Esq. at this place. The spot selected was the most romantic in all this fairy region, commanding a view of your city, of the harbor, the bay, islands and neighboring villages, and at the same time fully sheltered by the luxuriant foliage, and abundantly supplied by a bountiful Providence with grotesque divans and solas, of solid rock, and a carpet of the green sward, forming a tout entemb/e at once magnificent and unsurpassed. At about ten o'clock the party began to assemble, mil rnniiniieii to arrive, in miiull and interestins groups, until after eleven, at which time there had congregated some sixty of fair women and brave men." The day was lovely, and Nature cast her sunny smiles around, imparting pleasure to the eye and gladness to the heart. For more than two hours, the woods that crown the summit of the Devil's Pulpit,"and the rockspiled around in wild confusion, re-echoed the sweet toned voices of Nature's fairest. While some, with their attendant beaux, strolled through the w oody vistas in pursuit of Flora's beauty, wherewith to decorate and be decorated; others were seen Heated in some shady nook, engrossed in the wild and thrilling tales of Schiller, or conning o'er the mysterious oages of Zanoni; and here and there a recreant gallant, graceftilly arrayed in flowing blouse and Panama, might be seen perched on some projecting cliff, cigar in mouth, puffing away with lordly indifference. At times the ear was startled and the soul entranced by the soft notes of the Italian, flowing from rich and cultivated voices; and anon broke in the swelling bass of the Huntsman's Chorus," or the Boatman's Song." At two o'clock, a kettle was beaten, a la gong, by the indefatigable Dr. C e, of H a primitive summons to dinner, which quickly gathered from all directions the scattered groups. I he aining nail was Nature's own?the table her verdant green?and the sumptuous viands thereon arrayed, combined her choicest products with every delicacy that the most fastidious could desire?the dinner?the dessert?the punch?the champagne?the hock and the old liquors, there set forth in fair array, would have tempted the palate of Epicurus himself; and it was the opinion of those au fait in those matters, that they were not to be surpassed. The afternoon was but a repetition of the morning's pleasures, with now and then a new arrival. As tne declining sun gave timely warning to depart, the board again teemed with an evening repast, which was enlivened by the presence of the gentlemanly members of the Conover" Boat Club, whose colors were gracefully arranged at either end of the table. The party now brolie up, highly gratified by the pleasures of the day. Some were seen to return in boats, many in vehicles, whilst others, preferring an evening stroll with an attentive lover, wendea their way on foot. Among so many fair ones, it were invidious to say who were the fairest. Suffice it, that the Misses C. and their cousin. Miss S., of Chelsea, graced the occasion?that tne l?vely Miss B.. of Philadelphia, was the brjght star of a circle of admirers, and that the romantic Miss A. R., of II., added increased attraction to the party?Mise S r, (sister-in-law to your distinguished tragedian,) with her sweet voice and quiet grace, left an impression i i_ i i u: Tvyf TV/ A*: long 10 oe rciiiciiiucrcu?iyiips m r, ui jjri.v i*ne?

J?s and M s, the Orestes and Pylades ot the Law Buildings, who distinguished themselves by attention to the ladies in general, and themselves in particular. There were, also, Mr S-^?s,of Hoboken, Mr. M.,Mr. P., Mr. B., Mr. W., and several distinguished foreigners. It was, decidedly, the pic nic of the season?admirable in design, happy in execution, and delightful in retrospect. Jersey Ariel. The Royal Medals for the Packet Captains.

Monday evening is set apart for the entertainment, when he promises not only an interesting musical melange, but alt-o some exciting experiments in animal magnetism, clairvoyance.Jcc.

Tomorrow night, Scott is announced as "Virginius." The companies of the Walnut and Chesnut-streets Theatres are said to number more superior actors than were ever before engaged at them. Go ahead all. An accident occurred on the Columbia railroad yesterday, by the cars running off the track, about five miles from the inclined plane, by which one man was seriously injured in the head, and one car broken to pieces.

Let'* describe him?He was young, dark eyed, lofty forehead, of perfect symmetry, well formed mouth, nose and but we stop here?his face, that was horrible?it looked yellow, unhealthy, blotched and covered with pimples?he was a handsome man in all respects, save hi* skin. At the end of this month, this young gentlemaa had a face, neck and hands of feminine clearness, red mixed with white, a manly, heal&y clearness. Reader, he has used a cake of the famous Italian Chemical Soan, that cures eveiy eruption, freckle, &.C., and changes dark or yellow skin. It is sold by Jones, 81 Chatham street, N.

The Genuine Kxtraet of Sarsaparllla, Prepared by THE COLLEGE OF MEDICINE AND PHARMACY Of the City of New York. {ft?- THERE IS NO ARTICLE IN THE MATERIA Medica, of which so many spurious and inert preparations, have been offered, as Sarsaparilla. Indeed, many members of the medical profession go the length of denying in toto, the efficacy of this invaluable drug, and they nave been led to this disbelief of its virtues, by the wretehed mixtures which have been and are at present palmed on the public, as genuine extracts 01 tne article. The College desire no stronger and more intelligible ptoof of the worthlessneiR of these mixtures, than that evidence which is afforded by the very advertisements of their manufacturers. The frequent extravagant puff's which arethrnst before the public, bear on their front the impress of the most impudent quackery. I'owers are ascribed to Sarsaparilla which it does not really possess, and certificates of alleged cures, represented to have been effected by its use, are paraded at length, whilst every educated physician, well knows that no such results cr.uld by any possibility have followed from the use even of the most carefully prepared extracts of Sarsaparilla. It is underthese circumstances, and in accordance with their extended plan of suppressing all descriptions of medical imposture, that the "College of Medicine and Tharmacy" otter to the notice of the public, The of.*riwit Extract of Sariaparilla. This article has been prepared at great expense, according to the new process of the Tarisian pharmaceutists, and confidently denominated the only really valuable preparation of Sarsaparilla now offered for sale in this country.

A National Ode, al?' 21.425,115 Thi* table presents the fact that no more bank capital lms actually required to conduct the'rotton businetf in 1841 than in 18.TA, and yet the capital no employed was $14,000,000 in excess of t'.iat year. This is not all, however. In IMS, 1836, and 1^33, the prices at New Orleans were nearer to the Liverpool rates than they have been since. In 1841, instead of n value of $'J9,4.V7,504, according to the prices in New Orleans, the 819,264 bales did no' realize more than $31,000,000, and should not have been valued in New Orleans, at the highest, at more than $'20,000,000. The fictitious valuation arises from the unhealthy action of the redundant capital created in 1836, nnil which the market, from the increased "xcess of production, in comparison with consumption, will no longer mpport. his evident, therefore, that a sound Mate of the market cannot be restored until the weak banks, which
