The Reporters Of the New York Press.

We shall issue on Saturday next very beauti-
ful and interesting ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY HERALD.
II will contain large and very graphic engraving
of the sceue presented at the Wing Convention in
Albany, on Tuesday last. This illustration will
convey a correct idea of the picturesqued appear
ance of the multitudes assembled on that occasion,
the platform beneath the old trees, and Mr. Web
ster in the act of delivering his great speech.
Another engraving will represent the steamboats,
proceeding up the Hudson, with the New York de-
legations on board
The third engraving will present portraits of
the reporters of the Herald and the whig papers OF
this city, as they appeared when engaged in the
work of reporting Mr.. Webster's speech, for a
wager of one thousand dollars. This engraving
will be highly interesting. This Weekly Herald
will contain report of the speech, and altogether
will be the most attractive and accurate record of
this mighty exhibition of whig strengthening
beauty-and whig eloquence, which could be pro-
duced

THE Music OF IRELAND Who that has ever
heard it, has been insensbe to the power of Irish
song? Every passion of the heart has its utterance
there, and the chords most frequently touched are
those which the most ennobng emotions Of the
soul have numbered as their own. Just 20 and
hear Mr.. McMichael-the Irish Minstrel-this
evening, at the Society Library. He is, indeed, a
true Irish Minstrel, and sings the melodies OF his
native land, as they ought to be sung; we believe
no other man living can sing them, except perhaps,
Tom Moore, the poet Of Ireland, himself.

DEATH OF A PILoT.-We yesterday mentioned
the sudden death Of George Brotherton, formerly q
Sandy Hook Pilot Of considerable experience. He
was a very respectable man, and died Of apoplexy.
Notwithstanding this, the Journal of Commerce of
yesterday, paper notorious for its pretensions to
truth and piety, gratuitousy asserted that Mr. Bro
therton's death was caused by intemperance and
exposure. 1t Is, perhaps, almost unnecessary to
mention that this statement is utterly false.
We understand that the funeral of Mr.. Brother
ton will take place at 8 o'clock this morning from
the Park.

THE Aims HOUSE ExPEND1ruRE.-In an article
on this subject, published in Wednesday mornings
Herald, an'ausion was made to the increase Of ex-
penditure for out door poor by the Commissioners
Of the Aims House for the past month. Our state
ment was made on authority Of declarations Of
certain members of the Common Council, at a late
meeting of the Board. We have since learned
that the amount for relief Of out door poor, for
July, was, $3.50 10, and that the account stands
hus:-For nursing children, donations, &c !, $2OOl
80; coal and wood purchased for winter use, in
yards foot Of Rivington and Perry streets, $38l7
S0-making the actual cost for the month of July,
$2,O0l 80, instead of the sum then stated The
same account varies in June, as part Of the coal
and wood was purchased in that month for the
same account. The rate the present Commission
ers have proceeded for the last two and half
months, compared with the rate of the former
Commissioners for the same time, shows balance
in favor of the present Commissioners OF over
thirty per cent. Let this economy be continued
and all will be right.
The New York herald., 1844-08-30

THK MKrHoDIsTs AND THE ODD-FRILows.-A
portion of tho Methodist denomination Of chris
tians, somewhere down east, have recently been
passing resolutions condemnatory Of the Odd-Fei-
10 VS. association, and denunciatory Of few of
their clergy who have joined that body. This is
very ridiculous. The Odd-F Felows' association Is a
highly meritorious one Its great objects are pure
ly benevolent, and its organization and manage
ment are altogether free from any Objectionable
features. In consequence of the rigid rules with
respect to the admission of membership, 1t has
grown upto be one Of the most respectable bodies
In the country, embracing vast numbers OF the
most virtuous and honorable men in the COM
munity Clergymen, who have only small In
come on which to maintain themselves and their
families, and who, on their death-bed can, in but
few instances, leave any provision for their widows
and children, belong most especially to that class
which is most benefited by those mutual assis-
tance associations. If any denomination of pro-
Tossing christians object totheir clergy taking such
step for the purpose of securing their families
from want, let them found widows and orphans
fund.- for the benefit ofthe families of their deceas-
ed pastors, ana let them also pay their ministers
something more than mechanics wages.
The New REVENUE CUrrERs.-We are in hopes
that trial OF speed between the two new cutters
Legare and Spencer, will shortly take place in our
waters. All those interested are anxious for it, in
order to satisfy themselves of the power and eff
cheney to two new principles in the propulsion Of
steam vessels.
1t appears that the Treasury Department ordered,
some time ago, the construction Of six steam reve-
nue. cutters at the following places, namely, Bos-
ton, Cold Spring, New York, Pittsburgh, Oswegc,
and Buffalo. Four Of them having Hunters sub.
merged wheel, and the remainder Ericsson's pro-
peller.
Two Of these vessels, the Spencer and the
Legare, we have already mentioned. The Legare,
with the propeller, which was finished in July last
went to the south. On her return to this port she
broke the rim Of her propeller, and reached here
under canvass.
The Spencer was finished about the same time
and is about going on the screw dock for the pur
pose Of being cleaned, and undergoing an exami
nation Of the steps of her shafts.
When these vessels ready for sea, they are te
be tried in company, both under canvass and
steam, by officers appointed for this service, and
who will make full report to the department.
