ysss Foreign News.
We give an "a. days paper an ample resume OF
the foreign news as late the 18th ult, brought
10 this port Yesterday morning, by the extraordl-
nary fast.sailing packet ship Roscius, Capt Col
Inns.
This news is indeed very important 1t gives us
the great fact that cotton in Liverpool had again
advanced nearly one cent per pound, and the sales
had been immense, making an addition to the
value Of American produce, full ~, 800 900 on both
sides ofthe Atlantic
This cheering intelligence we received yesler-
day, at IL o'clock noon, by one of our fast-sailng
clippers, which had boarded the Roscus yesterday
morning early, many miles outside OF the Hook.
Our whole extensive establishment, from top TO
bottom, was Immediately in motion. We sent
Exclusively immense quantities of our evening edi-
ton to all our agents, exchange correspondents
and subscribers, by the afternoon mails up to 8
o'clock-and, after that time, we issued an EXTRA
HERALD for the city, which went of to the news
boys in extraordinary quantities.
The whole mercantile interest was in state Of
deep excitement, on account of the highly favorable
character of the news, and the great effects il was
calculated to produce American commerce.
AT the lowest calculation, issued at least thirty
thousand copies of the morning, evening, and extra
editions of the New York Herald yesterday; thus far
exceeding the aggregate circulation of the whole
New York press combined. Yesterday was indeed
a field Of Austertz or battle of Waterloo in the
newspaper line. We beat the combined newspaper
press of NeW York t,oice in day. In the morn
ing we published exclusively the news brought TO
Boston by the ship Republic. This was done by
many an overland Express from Boston. In the
evening we again beat them In publishing the news
brought by the Roscius, which was effected by an
ocean express that reached many miles out to sea,
Drawing the snow, rain, winds and tides in all d.
rections. The whole country, south and west, is
indebted TO our modest and calm enterprise, for
putting them in possession of important commercial
information, and thus enabling the planters, mer-
chants and farmers to escape the and traps
laid for them by the mere spectators of New York
and Boston.
In the whole of these Eextcnsive and ample ar
engagements, only one link was broken--and that
was to Philadelphia. The conductor of the New
York and Philadelphia Railroad refused to take
extras containing the latest news, yesterday after
noon at 5 o'clock, addressed to the whole newspa-
per press Of Philadelphia. The impertnence of
this conduct could not in ure us, but IL has prevent
ed the commercial interests of Philadelphia from
getting the benefit Of important ne,cs, for nearly a
srhOle business day-a most important delay in the
present commercial crisis For this extraordinary
and insolent conduct, trust that the merchants
of Philadelphia, and the newspaper press there,
will make searching representation to the Rail-
road Company, and demand what reparation is ne.
cessary to prevent the preparation of similar out
rage in future.
In all other respects with that single exception,
our efforts to benefit the whole mercantile interest
of the United States, succeeded to charm. Thus
we go ahead-who can go faster or surer!
The Recent Reflections by the United states
Senate.
The development of the causes and motives |
which produced the recent reflections in the secret
session of the United States Senate, is beginning |
now to make its appearance piece by piece, bit by
Bit and little taperlgh by little taper-ight Hitherto
those secret movements have been mystery, but
whether mystery of bliss and heaven, or a mys-
terry Of sin and abomination the public have fire. |
quently been at loss 10 ascertain. We, who pos
scss as long nose most persons to pry into Sc
cret chambers, and look forward into fuurity, smell
ling way in every direction, we sometimes
have been in great difficulty, and in somewhat of
quandary to ascertain what all this MIST haze sleet
shower ana numDuS meant
We now begin to see the light and we have
every reason to believe, from what we see, that
Captain John Tyler the plain, straightforward, sin
cere minded President of the u. States by the act
God, has been made the sport ofprofound intellec-
lual giants, and great expounders of the Constitu
ton, all for their own purposes. So far as we see
at thismoment, but We expect to see furherto-mor-
row, we have the strongest reason for believing |
that the rejection of Mr.. Porter, Mr.. Hcnshaw and
Mr.. Spencer, has been mainly produced by the in
fuence of the friends of Mr.. Webster, set in mo
ton by Mr. Webster and all for the purpose Of dri-
wing the President from his supposed democratic |
direction, into the hands of the wings during the |
next contest for the Presidency. About year ago
Mr.. Spencer, the master spirit fromN York, and the
man who was going to give democratic d.
rection to the administration, had the influence to
help in assisting the election of Mr.. Webster from
the State Department. Mr.. Webster, by his ope
rations has returned the compliment three fold,
and his friends and interest, in and out Of the Sen
ate have accomplished these very deeds ofthe gull
lotine which have recently seen perpetratcd at
Washington.
This much for to-day. We shall proceed at our
leisure tomorrow, and the next day, and the day
after, to unfold the perplexties, and intrcacies,
and abyrlnths of those nrigues during the last two
years, by which the reputation of the President
oil the United States has been trifcd with by the
great men Of the nation, merely to subservc their
own ends, and for their own purposes and for their
own special interests. In the meantime, we think
that crisis has now come which places Mr.. Tyler,
rs far regards the public opinions and public sen.
ments of this country, precisely in the course
which he was when he first went to Washington
after the death Of Harrison. If he now comes for
ward with the moral courage which he then ought
10 have shown, he can drive some of those prcpos
erous politicians from before him like chaf before
he wind Knowing the motives and causes which
produced these reflections, let him plant his foot
