tor the sake of q few dolars-as disgrace
 to refined and enlightened England. We
 have heard, however, that the disgusting
 and brutal practice is now ceasing in that
 country, and, we trust that the efforts which
 are making to revive 1t in this, will be
 trowned down by the jaws, and by the opin-
 ions of eur countrymen. Ne are glad to perceive that the New York Editors are unanimous in their reproduction of the GUS tom, and that they denounce It as cruel and demoralizing. Major Noah, although he describes 'sset-to" between Phelan and
 V iliaaisor, two ssgan.e uas,'' te the very life, and with many of the cant phrases of tho craft, condemns t no measured terms. The following extract IS from the Journal of Commerce ;--.Nashrille Republ,eaa.
 BIsGRAcEFUL.-Y Yesterday morning a motley crowd of six or eight hundred men and boys, chiefly foreigners, assembled at one of the piers on the North River. At 10 o'clock they We're taken off by the steamboat Hercules, and conveyed to Eli zabothtown Point, W. J where, in open field. they formed a rlng, and the chalnp- ons James Reed and Andrew McCIane had boastly fight, which extended to AT rounds, and occupied an hour and three quarters. 4 Sheriff came upon the ground and proclaimed the law, but was only re- garded with hsses. Al five o'clock the boat returned and landed her miserable car go at Whitehall. Neither of the eombat- ants were able to stand, and both were sup ported on shore, and carrted off to their lodgings. They fought for five hundred dollars. We need moi say any tfdng to stimulate our authorities, and those of New Jersey 10 take measures to bring the act ofs m this outrage to punishment, and to prevent the recurrence of similar scenes i'll future. We understand an agreement has been made for another match, to take place i'll month hence. We should hope too, that the owners of sieamboats, now that the game is understood, would not suffer them to be used for purpose so much against the peace. the interest and the hon. or of our city.
 Wonder if the New Yorlkers have any thing to say about Arkansas in these latter days ED. ADv.

,IUDGE WHITE.

l his gentleman IS 9going aliead.''-- unanimous in his fayogr; so 1t IS said II, Georgia and North Carolina. Tennesses IS aeGtmine, as appears from the public prints of that State. fiis friends in Vir- ginia are already numerous, and increasing every hour. So also it IS said, in both Houses of Congress. His friends at Washington have, we believe, ffle destiny of the country very much in their hands.
 The above paragraph is from the kich- mond Whig. We have before us a letter from distinguished gentleman at Washing ton--well connusant of all that is passing therein which he says :----ssThe Hon. HuGH l.. WHITE may now be considered in the field, and will there remain until his pretensions shall be disposed of by the people of the United States. at the polls -the result of caucuses, or conventions, to the contrary notwithstanding. This letter is dated the 9th of February.
 .Mo. Rep.
 From Judge White, much might Do hoped. Elected, if elected at ell, by tho Whig party, he would naturally and neces.. i sarilv select his counseIlors from their ranks, and modify his measures to their views. Supposing iiiin to give fio pledge to :his ef- feet, and capable of forfeiting 1t If lie had, he could have no inducement to act in bad faith Interest would conspire with honor, tt, restrict him to the path of duty. We mav reasonably hope that he would drive tho Kitchen Cabinet from power, and call to thc, ministry the best talents of the country.
 Let the Whig party therefore, not .Iarden l its heart, and stiffen its neckv against a contingency which circumstances may ren% der eligible for the country, and indispeD- sible to prevent the perpetuation of the pre- sent horrible dynasty. Richmond Whig.
 There are. deep currents of eieciioneering running in all directions for the Presidency. i Massachusetts, 1t is supposed, will soon nominate Mir. Webster; the South and Nes. appear willing to support Judge White; and when the period arrives, the good sense and patriotism of the Wing party will lead 10 an abandonment of every question of a personal nature.
 Our country IS in critical situation corruption is fixing itself deeper and deep-. CT in all our public measures; the Presided- cy is a more absorbing and vital quehIon l than 1t ever was before. aising p< doubt from the increasing power of tlss General Government, and the pnrchass ot partIzan support. If fo the already snnense power Of the general government IS added me vast patronage and resources of the State of New York by the election of Mir. Van { Buren, the whole union will be tributary to that state, and the Presidency will become I fixiure--a succession--an hereditary ap- pontment from that state, which must re- suit in a limited monarchy The South aad West, be assured, will finally unite to ! prevent this calamity, and if the support of l the eastern states can be afforded in aid of such patriotic objects, the present corrupt organization of selfish politicians will be dissolved aad the republic saved"
