We are told that nearly as many seats have been secured as on Monday evening. We are exceedingly desirous of hearing the Signor. Shippers' Manifests.

The Secretary of the Treasury has written to the Collector of this port modifying the instructions he had previously given him, prohibiting the manifests of ships being copied in the Customhouse for purposes of publication. The instructions are henceforth to apply but to the manifests of merchants who forbid their publication. 2 Half the pape we open have races aclvcrlised in them, We shall soon be flooded ith the returns from all parts of the country.

We yesterday received an exceedingly well written and witty communication, being No. 1 of a series; of numbers entitled "The Humbug." Although tho writer let off a 68 pound Paixan shot into the and handles the fraternity editori al ruther roughly, we would still give it a place in our columns were it not for two good and substantial reasons: first, it is entirely too long and secondly, the plan we have long cilice adopted of not publishing communica tions, prevents us. We know that our rule lowed us many excellent articles but then we are not pestered with hundreds of nonsensical communications, which in the other case would be pouring in upon us, and the mere reading of which, in order to gather the wheat fromthe clialf, would impose too much of tax upon our time. The author of the urticle in ques- Board. A letter was read from the Surveyor, relative to the proposed embankment from the river to the lake, to guard against the consequences of an overflow.

He estimates the expense at $58,200, and recommends that means be adopted to impreve the present levee, in preference to making such embankment. Mr. Lockett offered a resolution, providing that the Surveyor take up that part of the Car-rollton railroad which runs within Tivoli Circle, and that he inclose the same. This gave rise to a tedious discussion. A dispensation of the rules, with a view to its im mediate passage, was; moved.

Immediate action was opposed by Messrs. Caldwell and Mc-Farlane, principally on the ground that it might conflict with an act passed by the late Legislature. Mr. Peters and Mr. Gaiennie arguedat great length that so far as the resolution went, the Council in carrying it out would be but doing that in which the Legislature could not control them in which they had a power alone and independent of it.

The resolution was adopted yeas 10, nays 2. tion is informed that his manuscript will be sent to any address he may name in case he may want it it is entirely too good to be thrown into the barrel, and with not a little reluctance do we deny it a place in our columns. We are indebted for late river papers to the officers of the steamboats Somerville, Ohio Belle and Eclipsa. Firemen. The Firemen of our city have resolved to test, by suit in a competent court of law, the question of their exemption from jury duty.

They are now compelled to serve as jurors, contrary, in their opinion, to the letter nnd spirit of an act of the Legislature. Professor Grant's Lectures. Professor Grant will give the fifth 6Y his series of scientific Lectures this evening. The advertisement in another column tells the subjects on which he treats. These lectures, it is admitted by our most intelligent citizens, are among the most instructive and interesting that have ever Leen delivered in this citv.

Our readers who would like something in the way of literature wherewith to amuse themselves these hot afternoons, can gratify themselves by calling on -Morgan, of the Literary Depot. He sent us yesterday specimens of what he has lately received for sale among them we find as follows -the New World of the 16th Arnold's Lectures on History the Man of the People, by C. G. Rosenberg the London Lancet," aud Blackwood's Magazine for April. Out of all these, we presume that every reader can contrive to suit himself.

From Mexico. By fecent arrivals we have received Tampico papers to the 1st inst. They contain no other news than the departure from that place of a battalion of infantry for Yucatan, and a "high-pressure" address of the colo. nel, Enciso, to his soldiers previous to sailing. He told his men that the eyes of the world and of Santa Anna were on them, in addition to his own.

He said nothing about Com. Moore and the Yucatan generals, but we presume that they, too, will have an eye on his men. The false report of the taking of Merida by Gen. Barragan had been received at Tampico, via the city of Mexico and had caused the most uproarious rejoicings. The conquest of.

Yucatan is now considered a sure thing by the editor of El Tiempo, who says that the dignity and name of the great Mexican nation has now been fully sustained in the eyes of the univer sal world- He 6ays that the news was received at ampico con satvat, ainna reptque general" with shouts, tiring of cannons, beating of drums and ringing of bells generally We are anxious to Eee El Tiempo when the editor has ascertained the tiuth of the matter when he gets the latest information from Yucatan. the run up at the livery stable. Accordingly, he went to the man who kept the stable, and tola mm when the gentleman took the horse he would pay the bill. I "Very good," said die Btable keeper; "I understand you." Accordingly, in a short time the cpuntry gentleman went to the stable and ordered his horse to bo got ready. The bill was of course presented.

"Oh," said the gentleman, "Mr. my relation, will pay this." Very good, sir." said the stable keeper please to get an order from Mr. it will be the same as money." The horse was put up again, and down went the country gentleman to the Long Wharf, where the merchant kept. 1 Well," said he, I am going now." "Are' you?" said the merchant.

But the London editors, being somewhat incredulous on the subject, one of them wrote as follows, when he heard that a shock had been fell at Liverpool. We learn on good authority that the Liverpool earthquake is expected up to London this evening by the railway Cabinet Appointments. Th following looks fficial enough for all of us to believe; it is from the National Intelligencer of the 9th inst. We shall begin to sleep sound now that it is determined that Mr. Webster retires from the Cabinet We le-arn that Daniel Webster yesterday resigned the office of Secretary of State and that Huerh S.

Legare. Attorney uenerai oi me United States, is appointed to be Acting Secretary of State for the present. Caleb Cushing, of Massachusetts, is appointed Minister and Commissioner to China, in the place of Edward Everett, who declines the appointment. Ep" Mr. Legare, United States Attorney General, has returned to Washington, from his late visit to South Carolina.

General Council. At the meeting of the General Council last evening, the Bee was elected, by a vote of 11 to 1, printers. The committee on retrenchment reported a resolution reducing the salaries of all the officers employed under the General Council, from the Mayor inclusive down, 20 per cent on the rates of last year, but payable in specie. Several new ordinances relative to the shipping, wharves, carts, drays, winter merchants, were introduced, ordered to be printed, and made the order of the day for the meeting on Tuesday next. Messrs Lewis, Taney and Rogers were appointed a committee to visit inspect the pawder magazine.

I Donation. The managers of the Clay ball Jia've made a donation of $135 to the Orphan Boys' Asylum, Lafayette. A like proportion of the proceeds of the ball is for the Catholic Orphan Boys' Asylum. Sale or Law The attention of the public is called to the extensive sale, at auction, of law books, at Mr. B.

Levy's bookstore. We learn that the assortment is extensive, and that the sale will be continued from day 'to day until all are disposed of. Those desirous of purchasing should drop in at 10 o'clock to-day, at which time the sale commences. EST Norman, Steel Co. have received, price only 25 cents, Daniel O'Connell's work entitled A Memoir on Ireland, Native and i 'Criminal Court.

James Adams was yesterday put upon his trial in this court for feloniously passing a forged check. The testimony showed the cae to be clearly one of swindling. H. Hobdy, a Western man, was, on the 11th of April, introduced to Adams by a third party, who represented him (Adams) as an exchange broker, and one who traded oh the most liberal terms. Hobdy gave him $50 in current Georgia money, and $75 in current Alabama money, for which he received a very well printed, valueless check on the Union Bank.

Traders. By a letter from Independence, dated the 2d published in the St. Louis Republican of the 11th, we see that the company of Santa Fe traders who left the Mexican settlements about the 1st April, had crossed the main Arkansas in safety. The party was a strong One, numbering over 100 men, and by many it was thought that War-field had not followers enough to attack them. One or two arrests have been made, in addition to those already mentioned, of persons charged with having been concerned in the killing of Chavis.

Ijf We received more Florida papers yes terday, but for the life of us we couldn't make out from them who has been elected delegate to the next Congress Mr. Levy or Maj. Ward. We advise our sporting friends to bet on the former. Mission to China.

It is announced in the Madisonian of the 8th that the President, immediately upon learning that Mr. Everett declined the Mission to China, appointed Mr. Cushing, of Massachusetts, to that important Btation. We have not a particle of feeling in the matter, but we cannot but think that Mr. Cushing is more likely to do signal service to his country in that position, than even Mr.

Everett. Ab we estimate the two distinguished gentlemen, the brilliant reputation of Mr. Everett as a scholar, and his personal characteristics as a gentleman, are more likely to be appreciated in England, than in the dominions of his Celestial Majesty. On the other hand, Mr. Cushing has extraordinary energy of character, is himself a scholar of the highest order, and is probably as intimately acquainted with the commercial interests of this countrv as anv CiF The brig Luncct, of Charleston, bound for New York, was lost on Absecom Beach, about forty miles South of Sandy Hook, on the 5th inst.

It is certainly a crying and a burning shame We also learn that several thousand country merchants, strangers, and others, who have arrived in the city the present spring, for the purpose of seeing their friends and transacting their business, have been forced into the same unnatural and unreasonable expense to the eternal disgrace of our citizens. Surely, New York is the most inhospitable place in the whole world. Aurora. I 13 The Baltimore Patriot is informed that Mr.

ICPThe Secretary of War has returned to Washington from his residence in Pennsylvania. IST It appears by a recent letter from Gen. Van Rensselaer, late Post Master of Albany, that he was himself the individual who procured the nomination of Mr. Tyler as Vice Presi dent.

They declined to do so, and de sired hiin to name the man, and he proposed John Tyler A Sltpng Insinuation, rather.

Wonder how the postmaster at Claremont, N. feels now.

CS Mr. Greeley, of the New York Tribune, one of the best papers in the country, has been lecturing at Albany on the Fourier By6tcin. When a man like Mr. Greeley enpouses any cause, we are bound to believe that there is some reason in it, but we frankly confess that we have looked upon all the schemes of social improvement advocated by this sect as arrant humbugs. When we have a leisure afternoon, the idea of an editor's having any leisure! we intend looking into the subject.

Loss of Life.

We yesterday received an extra from the office of the Pittsburg Morning Chronicle, dated the 6th which gives the particulars of a recent steamboat accident on the Allegheny river. It seems that as the steamer Forrest was lying to for the purpose of landing a paaaenger from a with her bows down stream, the Pulaski, bound up at the time with 150 passengers on board, ran into the F. the bow of the latter striking the idrt of the Pulaski opposite her boilers. The boilers were immediately throw down by the concussion the steam pipes separating and the hot steam rushing among the passengers and scalding them in a most terrible manner. The Pulaxki, whose side was broken in by the lxw of the Forest, immediately sunk to her boiler deck.

From two to five passengers it was thought were certainly drowned, and five or six badly scalded. Some of the freight of the Pulaski would probably be saved, but the hull of the boat was totally lost.

The following characteristics of the prras of London nnd Paris are from the pen of the witty Dalrac: 44 1 lie press ol Ixindon has not upou the world the same nrtioii as that of Paris it is in some degree confined to nglaud. which car ries its egotism into every thing. But eotwm merits being called patriotism, for what is pat riotism, but the egotism of the whole country Thus ought to be observed the wide difference which cxifts between English journalists and French journalists. An English journalist is an Englishman first, a journalist after.

The French journalist is above all things a journal -Ut. Thus the Englixh journalist would never commit the fault of publishing cabinet secrets, if such were calculated to mar a public advantage while for ihc sake of a few subecriber, a French journal would blab any thing.

Two Days Later from Canton. The ship Mary Helen, Capt. Henry, arrived at New York on the 7th in 106 days from Canton.

Our advices, via Europe, are to the 20th Janu ary, two days previous to the sailing of the Mary Helen. There was no news of importance, and every tiling was quiet, although a great many idle rumors were afloat in regard to anticipated risings amongst the Chinese. Sir Henrv Pot- tinger was hourly expected at Canton, and the Mary Helen met a steamboat on her way down the river, on which it was supposed he had arrived. Nothing new in trade and business. tj Dr.

The U. S. sloop of war Saratoga. Com mander Tatnall, arrived ait New York on the 7th inst. scribed as the 44 U.

S. ship Alert," which was reported to have taken possession of a fort on the Western coast of Mexico, (about the time of Commodore Jones's acting in the same manner upon the rumor of war with Mexico,) was a merchant ship of that name from the port of Boston, commanded. by Capt. Phelps. The Post gives the following account of the proceedings of this vessel The Alert was at anchor in the harbor of San Diego last October, and had nearly all her stores and part of her ballast on shore, ready lor taking in carco, wiien intelligence was received of a declaration of war between thn United States and Mexico, and of the capture of Monterey by Commodore Jones, and that the soldiers from San Pedro (a place about three miles from San Diego) had received orders to proceed forthwith and capture the Alert.

On the 28th of October the intelligence was confirmed by a party of hunters (Americans) who came on board the Alert with all their projierty, seeking protection from the anticipated movements of the hostile troops. Capt. Phelps immediately took poention of tbe fort ashore, spiked the guns, and then got his stores on board and every thing ready for slipping his cable, if necessary. 'The Alert had four six pounders on board, which were brought to bear on the shore and, as tbe vessel lay within pistol shot of the land, her guns fully commanded the beach. With a crew of sixteen men and boys, half a dozen hunters, (excellent riflemen,) and plenty of arms and ammunition, Capt.

Phelps determined not to slip his cables or abandon his cargo on shore without burning a little gunpowder. But on the 1st of November the official intelligence of ne evacuation oi monierey was received, and as a matter of course Capt. Phelps ceased war-lik operations, and commenced putting bis ship in order for taking in cargo. The Alert arrived at this port on Thursday afternoon.
