can rishtx see AT all eyenisi viii be great fun Cor
the wings and the friends of Clay.
We learn from private correspondents that the no.
minaton OF Governor Bouck as Vice President by
rhe Tyler guard OF this city has produced great
sensation in several quarters great divisions-and
great heart burnines In addition 10 this cause OF
quarrel, the distribution OF the Offices, land OF the
public printing, have all added fuel to the flame OF
division. The Governor and the Comptroller are
pulling in different directions-and the two proprie-
tors of the Argus are ready to eat each other up
The new plan of giving out the public printing, land
the debate on this SUBJECT have Increased and de-
vsloped the ieud. .-,.r.-. -so,-a
What direction all this confusion may take, 1t Is
difficult to see-but according to all accounts, par
takes somewhat OF the quarrel in this city between
the sold hunkers'' and the "young democracie"-
the former exhibiting tendency to Mr.. Van Buren,,
the latter DIR. Calhoun-for it is fact that Cap
tain Tyler is hardly thought of by either section,
less it may be by some who want an office in the
Custom House.
The progress of this quarrel will develope some
strange things-some curious events hereafter We
shall watch and pray Which side to take we hardly
know yet-but if Governor Bouck goes with the
Young democratic" we are very much inclined to
go in that direcon-for we like youth and spirit with
the old white horse to lead on. Yet it would cost
us pang to separate from Mr.. Comptroller Fagg,
who is capital man. including his aid, Mike Heff-
man, of Herkimer. Of course we are on the fence,
till we can see our way clear.
In the mean time we advise the wings to make
hay while the shines. Their prospects are
Frightening beyond doubt Mr.. Van Buren,, Mr..
Van Buren,, there is flaw in your crockery-mend
it-mend it.
The BANKRUPT LAw-ITs EvLs.--One of the
principal evils of the bankrupt law is the facility
which its provisions allow spectators and plumber
ers to repudate the small debts they TO the in
dustrious and mechanical classes of society.
In the reply made by Judge Belts to Mr. Web
ster, relative to the operation of the law 1t is stated
a remarkable fact, that few regular merchants
have taken the benefit of the law-that the create:
part have consisted of large operators, Spectators
or persons without any regular business The debts
of this class of persons have been of the moa as
founding amount, and their assets Of the most
meagre and baseless character.
In fact the bankrupt law has operated as an entire
abolition of debts, by which the rich and fashionable
spectators have been enabled to swindle the poor
and industrious.
The cases Of this kind, in the various Courts, are
of the most atrocious description. II would seem
that thousands of fashionable, respectable and pous
bankrupts, have been for years past living on the
earnings of the poor and industrious classes of 80
ciety The regular merchant q business man sell
dom takes the benefit of the act. When his case is
produced by misfortune he has only to open it to his
creditors, and they seldom refuse to agree to a set
Element 1t is the fashionable, The arrogant. the
pious OF the respectable bankrupt that pluaders and
cheats the poor and industrious of all the trades and

We trust that Congress their action on the SUBJ
iect will remember it.

1t will be recollccted that bill has Just been pass

Corporation from making the proposed contract for
three to five years. Some of the Senators sent

facts to guide them in their action upon the BILL Mr.
Morris sent back word TO them that the charter was
perfectly clear upon the subject as it now reads and
advising that action all was necessary upon the

LECTURE ON THE LAWS, CUSTOMS, &c. OF THE
MooRs.-Thomas N. Carr, Esq, late Consul from |
the United States to Morocco, delivered lecture
on the above subject last evening before the |
Berean Institute, in the church corner of Walker /
and Elizabeth street. There was a fashionable at.
tendance, and large number of ladies graced the
audience with their presence.
The lecture contained great variety of new and
interesting matter relative to the country of the
Moors; and as our reporter took full notes, it will
be given complete tomorrow.
THEATRIcAL-OpERA.-We understand that Mr..
Simpson is making preparations to reopen the Park
after the horses have finished their engagement-I
with a strong opera, English and Italian. 1t is said
he has some thoughts of engaging the Italian CON-
pany of Havana to come north next spring-but un-
less they can give us opera, alternately in Eng.
lish and Italian, il will hardly succeed Mr. Simp-
son lost money to large amount by the "Moses in
Egypt" and we suppose he wilsbe cautious how he
deals with Moses in that way again.
There is report that Henry Wallack is coming
cut to take the Park, but it is without foundation
The manager Of the Bowery is we learn, also me-
gotiatlng with the agent of fresh opera company,
to come principally from Europe The list of this
troupe, ii is said,w comprise strong and new
names. They will play opera three times week 1
and endeavor to bring back the halcyon days Off
