Foreign News-Eight Days Later.
Beginning on the first page will be found full
synopsis of the foreign news, brought TO this port
Yesterday, by the fast packet ship Sheridan, Capt
De Peyster-being eight days later than our last In
teligence.
1t is singular how these ships of E. X Collins do
run over the Atlantic 1t is really singular how
his Captains do put in the "rch licks" Can any
body solve these mathematical questions =?
We received the news yesterday by half-past
two, by an express overland from Long Island,
beng about three hours ahead of every other paper
in Ne,v York. No wonder that we are called
Robesperre, Fra Diavolo, or Don Baslllo-we
do 80 pick up the news, at least Our establish
ment all prepared-having been apprised OF the ar
rival below through the Telegraph-we went to
work. got out extras for the South, North and
West, in time to go exclusively by the afternoon
expresses Of Adams and Co., Pomeroy, and Harm
den and Co., thus anticipating Mr.. Wickitfe's
uery fast mails one day all over the country. We
then issued capital EXTRA for sale and circulation
by the newsboys-an EXTRA Of practical utility to
all the business men of New York, in this great
year of the revival of trade-not hoax-a hum
bug about balloon excursion that would make an
old horse laugh and say-"I'm satished-come,
take my bride and skin of-not forgetting the old
iron shoes-Pm ready to die Farewell, oats! -
Movements and Views OF the New Reform
Corporation.
Every person is asking what are the views of the
Reform Corporation! How will they act on ap-
pointments to office ? Will they make general
sweep? On what principles will they appoint?
Who will have the greatest influence with them?
These are very natural questions now PROFOUND
ing every where around the city, by about or
10000 persons who have already started into exist
ence as applicants for Office. Petitions and sigma.
lures have already been preparing in any quantity
and the Reform Aldermen have been run down
like stays by packs of beages for the last few days
In order to stop this system of offce-begging per-
secuon of the new aldermen, who have as yet
committed no sin of omission or commission to
deserve such an infection, we will state for the
benefit of the oilce-beggars certain general views
and principles which we believe have been discus
sed and agreed upon by the new corporation.
First-no good moral and efficient man now in Of
fee under the present corporation will be removed
for his simple political position in former parties,
or his present opinion on the existing candidates
for the presidency now before the nation. Second
every lazy indolent, immoral, lnattentive, in
temperate, or violent partisan, in office, will be
ascertained on sufficient evidence, and will be forth
with made to give way for better men as soon as
the new boards come into power. Third-no
question or inquiry will be made of any candidate
for office whether he be friendly to Clay, Van
Buren,, Tyler, Cass, or any other man-but simply
whether he is honest, capable, economical, and
true to the constitution of his country-and espe-
cially to the cause of City Reform in New York
These principles ofaction, or general views. have
been talked and discussed at two or three con-
fidential interviews and meetings between the Re-
form Corporation in conjunction with the Execu-
tive Committee of the Reformers at Military Hall
All applications for Office will be made in the usual
way to the new Mayor and Corporation; but all
papers Of recommendation numerOusy signed, will
be repudiated, rejected and abolished When these
applications are received, they will be considered,
and those candidates only w,N be appointed ,co are
kno,on by the different IHard COMMITTEES Of the Re-
formers to haze been honest, moral, faithful, and en-
rgetic friends Of the general cause since the election
of last faH It is of no sort of consequence whether
they may be friends of Clay or of Van Buren, for
The next Presidency. The principal inquiry is,
care you in favor of city reform. economy, hard
work, temperance. the Bible in the public schools,
and the complete abolition and overthrow of all at
tempts by ecclesastics of all kinds, to interfere
with political or civil Affairs - s'and are you IN
favor of putting down forever all those associations
Of Irish, or other foreigners, as distinct race or
creed, got up by the little corrupt politicians to
trade away for office to the bigger politicians, and
to operate indirectly or directly the great mass
of American voters? ~
1t will be seen, therefore, from these movements
already taken by the Reform Corporation, that they
have begun honestly and vigorously to carry out
The great moral and political principles, which pro-
iuced the recent revolution, and which carried
them into power. No illegal or unconstitutiona'
prescription will be made of the lrish any other
foreigners, as SUCH Their civil, political, and re-
,ious rights will be protected and taken care of,
but they must become in fact, as well as in name,
American citizens, by mingling with the American
people, as the drops of rain from the mountains
mingle with the Hudson River; they must avoid all
distinct separate, or ridiculous associations here

confine their labors hereafter to their sacred call
ing-to the ceremonies and mysteries of religion
to the advancement of morals-to the cause OF
temperance, charity, and benevolence. In this
way these sacred men will indirectly aid and assist
the carrying out of the great moral revolution of
New York. and will help to reorganize society on
better principles, than all the dreams and visions
that'ever emanated from the muddy brains of
Horace Greeley 81 Co., and his whole tail of Fou-
rierites.
The recent revolution was the result of common
sense against political depravity and bribery-the
uprising of the Bible against those fanatics or fools
who are afraid Of its open rerusal in school, unless
