GENERAL CAss.-The movement in this quarter
in favor of General Cas- is proceeding with much
enthusiasm The Clay and Van Buren, parties are
making additional demonstrations of alarm, on ac-
count OF the appearance of the new candidate,
though great efforts made by few of the most
sagacious among them TO keep quiet. Yesterday
the Courier and Enquirer came out with an arti'
Gle quite laudatory of General Cas-, but stating that
he could never be candidate with any chance Of
success until after Henry Clay had occupied the
presidential chair. From this is il evident that the
ulras of both parties determined TO crowd Gen.
eral Cas- out of the field; and is possible that they
may endeavor 10 prevent the masses from coming
up so rapidly to his support, as their enthusiasm
would mpel them. But there can, alter all, be but
little doubt that throughout the inter- or of the coun-
try, and among the great classes TO whose respect
and good will the popular conduct, talents and pa
triotism of General Cass, appeal so forcibly, his
name will be taken up, and that he will be pressed
forward with all that spirit and energy which his
cause naturally excites.
The following interesting correspondence has just
annaared

ANXIETY AMONG THE BANKRUrTs.-Ihe anxiety
among those who are contemplating taking the
benefit of the bankrupt law, is increasing TO dis
tressng degree, in consequence of their fears that
Congress will repeal the law before they will have
time to take the benefit of the act The action of
Congress quite uncertainit may be repealed sud-
denly and without public notice, although we doubt
tat any rate the safest course is to file petitions
without even days delay.

Mr.. BRAHAM.-The admirers of Braham will be
gratifed by the announcement that he intends CIV
ing another Concert at the Stuyvesant Institute on
Thursday evening next The crowds who have
been delighted on former occasions, will of course
seek the means of again obtaining the same rare en-
joyment, and those who have not yet had an oppor-
tunity Of hearing Mr.. Braham, will embrace the
now afforded them. Mr.. Brahim WILL we per-
ceive from the programme, sing several OF his most
celebrated songs, and his young and talented son,
will sing, amongst others, "My Boyhoods Home"
and "My Sister Dear IN the execution of which
he elected such deserved applause in the Concerts
recently given.

WEBB AND THE HERALD.-Sorry are we that we
have hurt the pious, moral, and modest feelings of
Col. Webb by publishing report of Anthony Dey's
case in bankruptcy Perhaps the gallant Colonel,
late escaped from the state prison, may have some
feelings of consanguinity, seeing that full report
of his schedule has not yet been given.
Really, really, nothing seems TO have any effect
on the sense, tact, or judgment OF Webb. He yet
ancies that his word is law, and his decree rule of
life in mercantile, fashionable, and moral society.
He talks of decency and propriety, and yet he brings
isto contact in his columns, such language as the
" ministers OF religion" organ of brothels"-
" Barholomew's Church," Doct. Wainwright
"Anthony Dey'-" pews and poudrette"-" bias
phemy and generalization in every sort and every
way This is shocking to see, when he acts the part
of the pous moralist-although it is very elegant
language for pardoned state prison bird.
OF the accuracy ofthe particular references to Rev
DR.. Wainwright we doubt very much We have
known Dr. Wainwright personally for several years
Not many weeks ago he called at our office, in
ference to the Ashburton dinner, and assured us
personally that he generally read the New York
Herald and very much admired its talent eloquence,
and comprehensiveness. We are not sure whether
he did not add moral usefulness, too, in such age
as the present We do not believe, therefore, that
Doct Wainwright ever preached against the Her
ad-nor will we believe it, till we the fact stated
under his own name. The state prison bird OF the
Courier, on that poni, states what is untrue and
unfounded.
AS TO the pathetic appeals, in the name OF heaven
and reDsion,to the ladies' and all others in New
York, not to buy or read the Herald it will be time
enough to crafty such appeals when Webb himself
can show spotless character and moral reputa-
ton. A state prison bird-a baukrupt-a getter I'D
of the tracas that ended in the murder of CiIlev-we
wonder how he has the assurance to appeal 10 bea.
ven-to talk of morality-to speak Of religion Can
he show so honest, so pure, benevolent. so ms,
past life, as can in N. York, in which we have
lived for over twenty years' When he can do this
then let him speak.

THE MAns.-According to the recent notice Of
the Postmaster General, it appears that the New
York mail leaves Washington at 9 o'clock at night,
and is due in New Yerk at IL o'clock at night,
bringing all the mail from the south. There is only
one mail day from the south, instead of two as
heretofore. The southern mail leaves New York
as usual at o'clock, A. M.
AS far we can understand it,, this seems to be a
bad arrangement

REDWOOD fishers SCHEDULE IN BANKRUPTCY
We give TODAY another rich plate of soup from the
United States District Court 1t is the schedule of
the debts and assets OF Redwood Fisher, United
States Postmaster, at the office in Wall street.
This is probably the most Flemish account of as
sets that we have seen, with the exception Of the
document of Watson Webb, who was recently par
doned from the state prison The wonder Is how
any man could get so deeply in debt-how so many
debts could be so contracted all over the world
from New York 10 Canton, and so little left to show
Tor it. 1t surpasses our philosophy. We never
could get in debt-not even for 5000, although we
would not give our establishment for less than
$l5OOO0
One thing isquite funny-it seems that Redwood
subscribed $50 to start Noah's Union newspaper ;
but he has not pada cent-and now the note is in
the schedule. 1t is said that the Hon. Caleb Cush-
ing subscribed $1,000 for the same purpese-and
others other sums. II they all paid as Redwood
does, poor Noah would come badly of. AS il is,
we suppose the Union is sick.

REFORM IN THE CITY GOVERNMENT CLEANING
THE SrRKErs.-Onc measure of reform, the market
laws, was taken up by the Common Council on
Monday evening; another equally important mea-
sure, the sweeping ofhe streets, made the special
order of the extra meeting this evening of the Board
of Aldermen. The futile results of the dongs of this
body on the marketlaws, give us no very favorable
anticpations of their dongs on this other measure
of reform this evening" The market law, however,
was not strict party question. The matter of
sweeping the streets by contract will be. If, there.
fore, some prompt and decided measure of reform
in this matter is not passed this evening, the fault
must lie with whig administration

The LATE SAMUEL WooDwoRTH.- we'll
known poet expired the other day at the green age
of ffty-eight years. Mr. Woodwork was native
of New England, and was born near Plymouth.
He lived latterly in this city, and by his genuine
worth, unaffected sincerity, and cordial friendship,
gained the esteem and affection of many attached
friends. Mr.. Woodwork was the author of several
volumes of songs, comedies, and miscellaneous
pieces, and was one of the orginators of the "New
York Mirror" in the year 1923. His poetry pos.
sesses fine tone of healthfu sentiment, and ex.
hbts keen perception Of the beautiful and the true
He is one of the most successful of our lyrical poets
and has had many imitators The celebrated
stanzas entitled "The Mess-Covered Bucket" are
characterized by the most touching pathos, and are
fair specimen of Woodworth's genus

CUBA AND HYr We gave in the Herald few
days since, intelligence that the authorities OF Cuba
had made hostile movement against the Island OF
St Domingo. A correspondent of the New Orleans
Bee, writing from Havana under date Of the 18th
ult. furnishes the following particulars -
A Spanish schooner, which arrived in our port on
the l4th instant, has brought us unexpected and
fortunate intelligence The Haitans have captured
two Spanish ships, from Santander, laden with
lour-wlthout, il is said, injuring the crew, who
were taken with the prize to St. Domingo. The
negroes declare that they driven to this act OF
piracy by famine and that they were perishing of
hunger as the late earthquake had destroyed every
thing they possessed. 1t appears that the blacks
were IN command of ship, and numbered from fifty
10 sixty men. AS soon the government become
officially informed Of these events, the armed steam
ship Congress was despatched TO ST. Domingo, fol-
lowed by the frlgate Isabel II. and several smaller
vessels We trust that these prompt measures will
prove decisive result. The journals as usual, say
nothing on the subject. Every thing in this country
is enveoped in mystery, and can be learned through
the on dts of the day.

AMERICA AND CHINA 1t appears by letters from
Canton that the Celestials desire no trouble with
America. Commodore Kearney of the U. States
ship Constellation, has obtained indemnity for the
losses sustained by the Americans in the attack on
Canton The amount claimed was 81 800, but the
Chinese have paid $4,000, besides present of
$4,000 in teas, &c.-al Of which has been placed in
the hands of the u. s. Consul at Macoa.
