The News by the Acadfa--Extraortiinar arg
Conduct OF Hsrndea q Co. towards the
Commercial Community.

Commercial Community.
gross and atrocous outrage was YES
terday practised upon the commercial community
of this city, and all SOUTH in relation to the news
which was brought by the Acadia steamer to Bos-
ton, at O'Clock on Wednesday afternoon.
II appears that this steamer arrived few mi
nntes after the departure of the mail train from Bos
ton. In all such contingencies, we had, In con-
junction with other papers here, made an arrange
ment with Harnden Il Co. by which they were TO
run a special express by the way Of New Haven or
Hudson, the case might be, IN order TO reach
this city on the subsequent afternoon evening" in
anticipation of the regular mail. Dpring the last
two arrivals, at which such contingencies took
place. Harnden & Co. ran the express, and he was
paid his own demands at this office. Instead, how
ever of receiving the news by the Acadia yeser-
day afternoon, according 10 agreement, and as we
expected, II appears that by some secret manage
ment, an exclusive express came to Moses Y
Beach, who is well known TO be unprncipled
specuator in all sorts of things, bank Stocks lot
terry tickets, cotton, oil, carrier pigeons, and wo-
men. Accordingly, an Extra was issued by Beach,
eruding hoceuer, all the relative to the cotton
and other staple markets. This was sent south
by the afternoon mails, and we have no doubt but
II was accompanied with the fitting instruments and
arrangements TO take advantage of the markets. as
they went along, and to speculate the merchants
and traders here and elsewhere SOUTH on the news
which they possessed.
Now, according TO all appearances we are al
most persuaded that Harnden & Co. had something |
to do, either In running this express, or in aban
donlng the field contrary agreement, 10 let
1t be occupied by this desperate gambler in all
of articles, either of live of dead stock. If we
had known that Harnden IL Co. would have vio- |
lated the agreement with us, we would have made |
other arrangements, (for declined such arrange
ments week ago, believing in the faith of Harm
den Il Coz so az to have procured the full inte-
gsnce, markets and all, and thus have published the
whole, fairly and honoraby to the world at once,
without any attempt at private speculation on the
commercial community
Such is the nature Of this most extraordinary
transaction so far as ascertain the facts to-
day. The commercial community in New York |
and every city south Of US, will demand from Harm
den II Co. an explanation of their conduct in this
affair, which these gentlemen cannot refuse Why
did they violate their contract with us' Can they
explain their conduct to the public satisfactorily?
If they had minated such thing as the abandon
ment of the enterprise, would have made ar
rangements elsewhere to meet the wishes and de- |
slres Of the commercial community, and thus |
would have saved them from the rapacity of man |
utterly destitute of every public and private princi
pie OF morahty-who, by some mysterious influence
with the Court of Sessions has not yet received
the punishment due to his crimes az poor Mike
Walsh has done before him.
ARRIVAL OF THE AcADA-CoNpucT OF THE Posr

entire south were obliged therefore, to remain thir
ty-sx hours longer than necessary for correct &C
counts from Europe.
This great delay in the transmission of this TO- |
reign mail throughout the country is wholly the |
fault of the Postmaster General. In consequence |
of his not learning, by past experience, that the
foreign mails likely to arrive at Boston Just
the mail train leaves that city, and making proper
arrangements with the railroad company to wait /
suitable time for the mails after is actually known
that the steam ship is within stones throw of the
wharf, the important commercial operations of the
whole country compelled TO stop and be in
state OF suspense and anxiety for thrty-six hours
This is the second or third time that this country
has suffered within the past year on the arrival of
the steamers at Boston, by the ignorance negli-
gence, and perhaps both of the post office agents,
and we hope that we shall not suffer the like in
future
AS ii is all must be content ill early this NOR
ming, when shall receive the most correct &C
counts of the markets, &c.
FoURnRIsM AND PUsEYIsM-GREKLEY AND WEBB.
very curious and original controversy has just |
broken out between the Courier e. Enquirer and
daily Tribune. 1t seems that Webb is very much |
opposed TO Fourier doctrines, and breads the infu-
ence they may have upon the progress Of whig prin-
cipes and the success of Henry Clay On the other
hand, Dir. Philosopher Greeley, while endeavoring
TO put forth, in the most amiabe manner his wild
and singular actions about Fourierism talks very
fatherly to Webb in relation to the dangers that
may effect the wing party from the violent manner
In which the Courier has taken up the manage |
ment of the affairs of the Protestant Episcopal |
Church.
Is there no way of uniting these now discordant
elements! Can we not unite Ant-Puseysm and |
Fourierism in solid phalanx, so that they |
can go shoulder to shoulder and elect Mr.. Clay |
in spite of all opposition! We think there is
for we perceive from the 7ribune-the organ |
of the sect-that the Fourieri,es have gradu-
ally come to the broad ground of Owen and |
the community people-and that the principle
s about to be put into practical operation in set
Element near Lake Skeneatales. Well, then, if the |
new community can, out of the divided plumber, |
furnish S52 900 to Col. Webb, we have no doubt |
that there will be no difficulty in the way Of the
union of Fourierism and the distinguished philoso-
pher, politician and DIVINE who presides over the
columns of the Courier. Indeed, this worthy has
already evinced his friendly feelings towards the |
new doctrines Of the Fourierites-the community |
ofgoods doctnne-n relation to the United States
Bank, and the principle Of association in the case
Of the Baltimore Life and Trust Company in the |
one case TO the extent OF $4,000, wrung from wi |
dows and orphans, and in the other to the tune Of
100000, according to the report made by Mr.. John
Duer. The way, then Of converting the animosity |
