Irrp.rAL IxpRovEMESTs.-The miserable, rot
ten rickety press OF Wall streeti very busy endea-
orre to proyc the wholesomeness OF pubiic debt OF
6ftv milons to be expended in all sorts OF schemes
for the advantage Of the spectators Some OF these
prints such the spectators sf the "Courier, 90
:. far As hundred nilions--others, like the 'Ame-
rican are modest enough to be satisfied with the
Erie Rail Road and forty-fve millisns-but all cry
out for more debt-more credit-more expenditures-
more profusion.
Hsv this question may ultimately eventuate, is
Sia;cult to tell at presen-but that such doctrines
will prevail fer a while, seems very evident during
the last eight or tea years, the moral tone oil the
country has been debauched aad degraded The or
xanization Of society has been demorazed. In pup
lie and private all kinds of extravaganza prevail
The politicians OF both parties, in order to outsrP
each other IN popularity bring forward the most ex-
travagant schemes, which only lead TO demoraliza-
ton in all ranks and classes Both parties are alike.
How is all this to be remedied!
Only by returning to the principles OF former
lietlo han
mans hand s rising above the horizon, that gives
us hopes of general reform. That speck has IN
ecribed upon it, in letters of light the name OF
ssWinfeld Scott" We do not expect that at the
next gene election he be elected to the Pres-
dency but if the moral of the country is not
buried in the corruptions of the politicians, nothing
saa prevent his ultimate advancement. Let us watch,
therefore, the signs Of the times
The LIBEL CASE OF DR.. HAwKs.-By our report
in another column it will be perceived that Dixon
has entered the plea of 'guilty" of the in
dictments against him in the of Dr. Hawks. On
Monday next, he will be tried the remaining in
dictments.
The long Imprisonment of Dixon for want Of bail,
and the following up of the present prosecution,
with the prospect of an additional Imprisonment,
seem an unexpected procedure on the part OF pro-
Tossing Christians We presume this vigorous call for
justice-to the last pound Of lesh-is intended as an
illustration Of those Christian feelings OF benevolenee
and forgiveness Of injuries with which the members
of St. Thomas Church have been imbued since the
ministry Of DIR. Hawks commenced. They who
would prosecute such poor creature as Dixon, for
libel mast have peculiar sensitiveness on the score
of character and perfectly original view Of Chris:
tian forbearance. Dixon has libeed but, instead
OF prosecuting him, we think the best punishment
would be- to throw him sixpence to buy his break
fast-sthere, posr wretch, take that, and begone.
MEAxSxss-Major Noah Of the Star" of last
evening in enumeratns the sculptcrs Of this coun-
try purposely fsrsets young Stout, who has, IN his
single and sublime effort of the statue OF Victoria,
equalled not surpassed, all his cotemporaries IN
originality genius, and unquestionabe talent Stout
is a native Of New York Is that the reason! Ma
Tor Noah has the reputation Of being generous to
young genius-but he is not the first parsonage that
has worn q reputation a coat not made for him -
Shame on such .eannsss. Gs, Major, and see Stouts
statue and say il you its equul by any Ame-
riean artist
ht-DR WILLIAMS, the celebrated Oculist, who
gives sight the blind still pitches his tent at Pre-
yidense House, corner of Broadway and Canal street.
III he could in addition to his great physical rene-
dies give the ssul Of msn-but particularly the heart
and soul OF woman an infusion Of that visual ray,
n
ed something more than mere physician The Doc
tor we hear has had fire esh revival Of religion lately
and the electric shock of grace not lost upon his
heart-for there are few physicians in New York
who entertaiH more sincere sympathes than he does
with the sublime and the moral in the great religious
msvemen, Of the present day.
We must call and the Doctors establish nent
and thus redeem long unfalilled promise.
The HsroRIcAL AeEST.--Every body may re
member the extreme ferocity with which Mr. Ste
phens the oriental traveller, was assailed by th'
"Courier & Enquirer" when the Senate inserted
his name in the bill creating historical agent
20 TO Holland TO bob for Dutch documents. The
secret cause OF all this is out John o. Sargent
the writing editor Of the Courier" (Col Webb il
still the fighting editor,) was candidate. He was
subseq equently nominated but rejected by the Senate
soon after Stones resignation.
These writers Of mere political drivel would like
well to visit Europe at the expense OF the state-le'
them go as we dc, at their own expense.
n,- The Rev Dir. Schroeder intends to give .
conrse Of lectures on Oriental Literature. They
will be very interesting to many. IL would be well
however. to know something Of English Literature
before they climb the Himalaya mountains.
