MORNING HERALD. itt? Trip Yesterday I engaged the berth Ne. 7, in Ike the British Queen Steamer, wkiah sail on the 1st of Octaber, and paid the is advance, as an example to Olanel Webb and others to imitate, when they intend to visit Europe 1 have done this apecly and in broad day? for I have no secret or special reasons to ash the agents of any vessel to smuggle me aboard -under another name, or no name at all. As far as I recollect, 1 never had a sight of the inside of a British jail, nor am a sub treasurer seeking to ran away to Errope with the property of the good people of this happy and glorious land. By the generosity and hiadncss of the free and liberal people of this great city, and this great continent, I hare ample and abundant means to travel abroad in any style aad for the proposed excursion, if necessary, I can devote $6,000, as easily as 1 can one dallar.

L. Boitwick. are particularly fo he on board two hoars Uefo re the tiinv appoiut'U for sailing, aud to skip their heavy luggage two daj? previously. aoooooooo In revisiting Europe in October next, I mean to next winter in Paris? to tahe a trip to Italy, and back through Germany, in the latter part of the spring and summer, so as to be able to reach this truly happy land again before the next season closes at Saratoga Springs. When I reach London, 1 will examine the state of the monetary, political, social, literary and fashionable affairs in that great metropolis.

and give a full account of my explorations in my correspondence for the Heruld, which will be fuller and better than on any former occasion, because I shall have made better preparations. I shall proceed to Liverpool and the manufacturing districts, and then make a flying visit ta Scotland and Ireland, with the same views. In December I shall be in Paris, and in that centra of European civilization I shall spend the winter, hourly engaged in collecting species of intelligence calculated to improve the age, and to advance the true civilization of our species, as far as regards our social, political, religious and commercial institutions. During my reaidence in that gay capital, ray readers well know, from former experience, that I cannot be idle? I cannot be negligent? hardly any event can take place that 1 cannot fathom the whale will ba dressed up in a pleasant, readable costume, and given through the columns of the Herald. Other American travellers in Europe may spend their time in eating and drinking; in every species of refined demoralisation the manmilliner talk of small insignificant coteries vide letters.

These light and superficial views what is passing before me, belong not to James Gordon Bennett, or to his destiny There is a deep and quiet but radical revolution going on in all tha great elements of thought, feeling and action. This country is the source, the spring, the fountain bead of the new civilization. I am one of the observers; I but, I trust, a deep, close, thinking, philosophic observer, although, like toy predecessors in other ages, Socrates, I erdeavor to dress up the events and thoughts, and principles, in the most pleasant, airy, and engaging raiment. In taking my second voyage to burope, such ia my intention in the brief? 1 shall enlarge and extend the programme of my at occasional intervals, up to the day of sailing. To facilitate my poses in am promised letters of introduc tian to some of the highest quarters in London, Paris and elsewhere.

This is, however, a mere matter of courtesy. On my Ust visit to Europe, without a tingle letter of introduction, except oar, 1 found no difficulty, but rather facility, in getting acquainted with highly respectable and intelligent people of all classes and ranks. To my surprise I found that among the most influential persons, my was not altogether unknown and I had invitations from various parts of Europe to visit their wonders of art or nature. But notwithstanding position in which I may find myself placed, 1 should be pleased to receive letters of introduction from sons in this country to acquaintances in Europe, whether in England, France, Italy or Germany. Huch letters may be of some advantage in enabling me the better, and more quickly to collect, and to communicate that species of mutual information that may be useful to both nations, and both continents.

If a European can give me valuable information, 1 can re ay it by giving him information, equally valuable, on the resources, institutions, and character this new and growing land. With these views, I shall feel obliged to every person, in any respectable rank of life, who will five me special letters of introduction to their friends and relations in any part of Europe. 1 shall use them discreetly and honorably. In leaving this country for a while, I leave my newspaper establishment in able and competent hands in the hands of a corpn of editors and other whom I have trained for the special purpose, and who are imbued with the same spirit of enthusiasm for the elevation of the press which liaa, for the last few years, grown with my growth and strengthened with my strength. In my office, every braneb is conducted with as muck system as Napoleon managed his corcerns.

For the next year, no particular movement in political affairs here requires my personal attention or care. From every appearance, Mr. Van Buren will be re-elected to the presidency, and General Scott will moat unquestionably aucce -d him. As one of the earliest friends of Gen. Scott, and an ardent admirer of his public character.

1 deem it the policy for his friends, throughout the I nion, to keep aloof from all political contests for the next two yeara. Mr. Clay will be run and defeated. The contest about Ike sub-treasury, or any other qaastioa that parties quarrel about, ia not worth a The of financial disasters that have distracted the country, are the offspring of the action of both parties. Both are alike guilty.

Time only can cure the malady? and five years are wanted to effect tlie purpose by eleeting General Scatt and changing radically the ilvnanty power. In this respect, therefore, there is nothing special that requires my presence here; and while mv ate competent for all ther tasks, I shall be in Europe for the or eight month endeavoring to former travellers in the frequency, fts? rariness, and originalitv of n.y collecti hi- and eorrcspondence. In announcing thus my intention to revisit Ketone I cannot Ip fe? a alight twinge of melancholy vi bi a' i trrwi my frame, ting aside mv vuthfill, si 'Mi I have no where felt the ele Med, ijmnlt tons, yrf flraH hnj-pineas which I have so loaf ia Ntw York ui arouad ud abMt thii fmk ni blooaing inutrj. If hcrnfttr ticNdi this filieitj, it en only be produced by ud widening the intellectual capacities to enjoy it. I bare, too, been auceeaafal and fortunate beyond all my bepea.

My estabiiahmeBt ia yielding a net annual income of $15, OM te $20,000, with a prospect ef indefinite iacreaae, cemmenaurate with the talent, rigor, independence and originality of its maaagement. Money, like the measles upon children, cornea upon me in floods, unasked, unsought for. Ambition, not avarice, is my passion but not the ambition of the present day not to fight duels not to be high in office net te be an Aster, a Biddle, a Clay, or a Van Huren. My ambition is to make the newspaper press the great organ and pirot of gorerniuent, society, commerce, finance, religion, and all human civilization. I want to leave behind me no castles, uo granite hotels, no monuments of marble, no statues of bronze, no pyramids of brick? simply a name the name of James Gordon Bennett as one of the benefactors of the human race, will satisfy every desire and every hope.

All Europe must be revolationized by the electric impulse from this land the press is one of principal intellectual instruments to accomplish that revolution, and the conductors of that fress are i the embodied spirits of the age that set the machinery in motion, and conduct the movements to its glorioas termination. That is money, fame, ambition, leve, happiness, honour, every thing. A few more last words te-morrow. N. B.

I hape Col. Webb wont be hurrying to Europe after me, for, 1 in my naxt trip, I shall have little time te keep him out of scrapes, jails, er any other difficulty. Ouk Bankrupt Corpouatiok We are a pretty predicament about money matters. We are bankrupt deeply in debt no money no credit cant borrow cant pay our debts we mean the corporation, not the Herald," because the latter never was more prosperous. But our locofoce Common Council have got the city into a snarl; they sent for the old comptroller to help them out of it, but he refused to assist them.

YYhat they intend to do is more than we can imagine Without money or credit, all the city works must stop, the great Croton aqueduct must stop; the loss theteon will be immense, the frost will get hold of and injure the works; and it will take thousands upon thousands to rcpairthera. We are in a dreadful state; in short, the preseat deranged conditien never was equalled before, and never will be again, until the great casting up of corporation accounts at the day of judgment. Tiie Fkkkcii Legation. There hat been a little squabbling in certuin quarters about the appointment of the Secretary of Legation to Mrs O'Sulli van. a very handsome woman, paid very great attentions and deference to Mr.

Van Buren, and obtained the appointment of her son as Secretary of Legation under Gen. Cass, to hia approvalGen. Cass, hawever, did not approve of it, but selected young Mr. Ledyard, who is about tomarry hia beautiful daughter. This, Gen.

Cass thought, was the strictly democratic principle. The Post" thinks otherwise; and Mr. O'Sullivan through the Post" kicks up a row, and saya this is not following the democratic principle. We think he is right; Ltdyard's grandfather was killed in the revolutionary war, and Mr. Ledyard kimself is a very amiable younz man.

Mr. O'Sullivati is a brawling partizan whom nobody heard of till recently, and therefore he ought, upon the democratic principle, to have the appointment. Po lice Reporiixg. The Star is in a terrible pucker with the Police Reporters, and denounces them all in a lump lor presuming to inform the public of complaints, by individuals against others, for real or supposed grievances. Now the Star knows very well that all these complaints are made in th? private chambers of the Magistrates, and that the press cannot, and does not, get at the facts in any case without the sanction of these Magistrates.

The whole of the mischief arises from this very source. It is in the ot the Police Office to suppress or lo publish, at their will and pleasure, and the reporter is a mere tool, in many cases, thnugh possibly an unconscious one. Were the reporters admitted to these private chambers, and were there no star chamber (here would be none of the the Star complains of. Even in the case of Levy, the reports in the papers were none of them so mischievous to the accused as the affidavit up under the sanction of the Police Justice, tttd by hin given out to the reporters. Does the Star ever hear any complaints made of reports that come before the United Mates authorities! Certainly not.

Yet in that department of criminal justice, directly a person is brought up (or examination, the doors are thrown open, and the press and the public are freely admitted. It should be so at all the public offices, and then, if innocent persons were accused, the bane aad the antidote would both go forth together. The Ferst. This concern changed masters on Wednesday, and is now amalgamated and incorporated with the South Ferry. Whether the public will be gainers or not by the change remains to be seen, but the new corporation have commenced I by putting three larg? and commodioiik boats on the station, which tbey intend to tan froiu 7 o'clock, A.

till 9 clock, either one or two boats after that hour, in proportion to the necessities of the public. The old boats are for the present laid up, but it is supposed that the new company will take thi at a fair valuation. The rates of ferriage have not yet been lowered, but we must not expect too sweeping a reform at oner. We intend to agitate that matter again befnre long, for there is much virtue in that word when abuses have grown too rank and try aloud for reformation. Miss Ma wood's first appearance in the character of Hianca on Wednesday evening, was very creditably sustained.

Throughout, she was frequently cheered with warmth, and at the close received much applause. Her youth and timidity require only a little time to bring forth her powers and gratify her friends. In person, she is elegant, thnugh petite- her face quite expressive and her general movements free and easy. Altogether, it was a promising debut. Miss One of the most splendid looking women which the late arrivals have brought us in theatricals, is the well known Inverarity, formerly the fair rival in vocal musie of Miss ShirrefT on the London boards.

Yesterday morning we -aw her promenading Broadway, and a more magnificent looking woman is seldom seen on that delightful promenade. A good deal of curiosity is beginning to be expressed for her appearance on the Park hoards after reposmgupon the laurels ofher Southern campaign, again entered the field on Mon day night at thu Chesnut street Theatre, Philadelphia, to a fashionable and crowded bouse; she remains there two weeks, and then once more "fit Child of New York" returns to Iser home. This will be the last opportunity her friends will have of witnessing her surpassing talents, at she sails for Europe in the Urili'h fir Hicks, who recently murdered Weston in Providence, hi tntelf up, and fits been com ii it led to prison. la ikt tfcmrtial wtrM-Tka mm Mrs. Hkaw-TlM MaMMau mf partUa.

Oa Monday we gave some eurioua developmeata connected with the atate of morality in the olerical world; yesterday we gave other earioua aad rich develepeiueata, connected with the of the faahioaahle bearding the world ofwjtacation; and today we give aeme interesting atatementa connected with the progress of morality in the faahionable theatrical world. These are the richest and most curioua of any. Every one haa heard ef the beautiful Mra. Shaw, the prraiding genius of the Bowery; her exquiaite form, finely moulded bust, luxurious ringlets, dazzling eyca, fascinating mouth, aad bewitching smile, are ao well knows aa to become almost matters of historical record. Of her husband little has been known, until recently, and lie has had to be the herald of his own story, and the trumpeter of his own fame.

At any rate they are man and wife; one is good actress on the stage, the other is an indifferent acter off the stage; they have had a quarrel, or rather a scries of quarrels; a sort of five act melo-dramatic quarreling spectacle, upon which the curtain is about to fall, and of which this appears to be the true history. The beautiful and fasciuatiug Eliza Mary Anne Tomlincon, or Trewar, was born in London, in the year of our Lord 1808, and is consequently now exactly 31 years of age. She was the daughter of an indifferent actress, and a respectable woman named Touulinson, who used to act at different country theatres, (ia vulgar parlance, a strolling player), and who also playe at various private theatres in London for pay; it being easy to get young men, and difficult to get young women to play atthoae places. At the early age of 13 years, just 18 years ago, ahe made her first appearance on the stage of the Tottenham-street theatre (now the Queen's and then a private theatre) as Emily Wortkington, in the play of the Poor Gentleman." At this and other private theatres, she played some four or five years, until having shown considerable signs of talent, she was transferred to the boards of one of the regular theatres. She then married au actor named Hooper, by whom she had a very lovely boy, new at the Blue Coat School in London, where, we understaad, he has been placed by Mr.

Shaw. Before she was twenty of age, the lovely Mrs. Hooper wa. left a widow with this ene child. She continued to act, at various places, with various success, until Mr.

Shaw, her present husband, fell in lore with, and married her, in 1S33, contrary to the wishes of his mother, who keeps a respectable hotel in Bedford street, Corent Garden. In about a year after this marriage, she gave birth to another beautiful boy, new livingat the Golden Swan, Philadelphia. In two years after this she writ to play at Liverpool, where nhe established her theatrical reputation. This induced Mr. Price to engage her for the Park, and she came to this country about the year lS3i, and played, it will Mi? Te? 'ere-' Witfa 1 1 Mr.

Shaw, her husband, was educated for a surgeon, and just befoie leaving England he hlled the office house surgeon at the Blue Coat School London. He, however, relinquished his profession in to travel with his wife, and therefore had to depend upon her profes s.o al exertions for hi. support.

Shaw will return to England, Hiss Verity will return to theBowsry; Mra. Shaw will be turned out, and then what is to become of herl We will tell her. By that time her name, her beautiful person, and hcroic achievements will have made her famous; and she can start a theatre on her own hook, like Madame Veatris, and all the fashionable politicians, and parsons, and surgeom, and rich loafers in the country will patronise her liberally. In the meantime, all thia tumult and commotion wili help Hamblin and fill hia theatre; and we therefore call upon all who love to see a beautiful, paalionate, voluptuous looking lady, to patronize tho Bowery Theatre. After this grand ecluircisiemtnt, a sight ol the lovely Mrs Shaw is alone worth $1.

Her beautiful buit, snail feet, delicate white handa, finely moulded form, exquiaitely chiselled limbs, (especially when she puts on the breeches,) dazzling dark ayes, luxurious raven ringlets, and above all, her ripe, ruby, pouting, tempting lips, are enough to delight the heart, eyes, soul and tenses of a saint, especially when she brightena up as Hamblin makes his magnificent appearance before the foot-lights. Hamblin, alone, of all the knowa how to get up a delicious excitement, and make money out of the aame. Simpson ia too lethargic to get into the lightest scrape, and consequently has poor houses. Wallack does not know haw to get in or out of a handsomely, and therefore makes but little money after all his exertions; and it ii only those actors and actresses and roanagera, who get into theae matrimonial and crim. con and aeduetion and bigamy acrapea, that make any money, or obtain any fashionable patronage.

Look at the state of morals in other departments ef the faxhicnable world. The Rev. CalpritFay will undoubtedly get a new church, and a larger and more fashionable congregation than ever. Hook at all the fashionable and prosperous politicians, and lawyera, and doctors, and parsons; the mare delinquencies they are guilty of and the more beautiful women they cheat and seduce, the more they are sought after, admired and applauded, and the more prosperous they become in every thing that relates to their concerns in this life, at least, without interfering with the concerns of that which is to come, "where there is neither marrying nar giving in marriage." The tone of morals in the theatrical world is fast assimilating with that in the fashionable religious and political world. The majority of actors who come out from England, make the same grand mistake that Madame Vestria did.

They take ton much paina to convince the public that they are excessivly moral; when they ought to take precisely the same trouble to convince their fashionable patrons that they are decidedly immoral. Look at Burton, after the row that was made about his marrying two wives; why there wis uo other actor in the country that drew such full houses, or was so liberally patronised by the beautiful and fashionable and pious women ef this city; he beats Clay and Van Buren.and even the lian all hollow. And if he were to be bold enough ta marry a third wife, and commit trigonometry he would undoubtedly go ahead of ail the actors now in this country. And il it were possible to find an actor who has had the moral and physical courage capacity to marry six he could make afortune ofa million of dollars intwo orthree veara at the furthest. Instead -therefore of actors and actresses large Wall street loafers to puff them and praise their morality, let them hire some of the penny papers to abuse them; and if there are any errors or delinquencies in their past lives, be sure and have them published as speedily as possible.

For our own part we intend -w serve the and managers in this way as much as we possibly can, and tuat is not a little. There are a great many rich and carious scenes that might be developed in relation to the fashionable managers and actresses of the present day, that would if published make the fortune of the whole. These favorable points of their character, with that innate modesty inseparable from the profession, they take every possible pains to conceal; and thus the public are kept in shameful ignorance of their numerous merits and the really valuable points of their character. We must goto work and collect all theae racy tcatimonials to their merits, and by giving them publicity insure them the patronage of the entire world of fashion.

After boxing about for fuur days in the Bahama Channel the vessel was steered for the Island of 8t Andrews, near New Providi uce from thence she went to Green Key. where the laid in a supply of water. After leaving this place the vessr 1 was steered by Pedro Monies for New Providence, the uegroes being under the impression that she was steering for the coast of Africa? they would not, however, permit her to enter the port but anchored every night off the The situation of the two whites was all time tnuly deplorable, being treated with the greatest severity, and Pedro Monies, whe had charge of the navigation, was frons two severe wounds, one in the head aud one iu the arui, their lives threatened every instant. He was ordered to change lhe coursc again for the coast of Africa, the t.egroes themselves steering by the sun in the day time, while at night he would alter their course so as to bring them hick t'. their original place ef destination They remained three off Long Island, to the Kasiwurd of Providence, after which time they were two months en the ccean, sometimes fleering te the Eastward, whenever an oecasson would the whites would alter the course lo the Northward nd estwnrd, always in hopws of falling in with some vessel of war, or beinij enabled to run into some port, wheu they would be relieved from their horrid situation.
