Of Mackenzie's book has been postponed till Mon
day next In the meantime, the publishers and ven
ders are restrained from appropriating the receipts
now on hand, probably amounting to several thou
sands of dollars until the question is settled The
book is now less the subject OF conversation than IT
was after its appearance but accurate opinions
are entertained Of the motives Of its publication, and
the history of the whole affair About eight months
ago, We understand from the best authority
Mackenzie had an interview with Henry Ogden, Esq
formerly an officer in the custom. house. Mackenzie
told Mr.. Ogden that there were number of very
curious private papers of Mr.. Hoyt lying in
posed condition in the Custom House, and request
ed Mr.. Ogden TO inform Mr.. Hoyt of the crcum-
stance, which that gentleman did accordingly. Mr..
Hoyt, however, remarked that the papers could not
be OF any value, and neglected to examine into the
matter. Again Mackenzie saw Mr.. Ogden, asked
him il he had communicated the fact to Mr. Hoyt,
and on ascertaining that Mr.. Hoyt did not think II
necessary to pay any attention 10 the matter, ne re-
quested that Mr.. Hoyt should be again informed OF
the fact that his private papers were exposed to all
the employees in that part OF the Custom House.
Mr.. Ogden again mentioned IT to Mr. Hoyt, but the
latter was still incredulous and indifferent Ii would
appear from this that there has been great careless
ness on the part ofMr Hoyt, and also that Macken-
zie, eight or nine months ago. had no intention, ap-
parently of publishing the private letters belonging
to Mr.. Hoyt, and was probably persuaded to that
dscredtable step by other parties, after that time.
II s singular affair." and all the facts are not yet
out.
VERY LATE FROM HAyTI-The schr. Bridgewa-
ter, Capt, Alden, arrived yesterday morning from
Port au Platt, whence she sailed on the 2Sth ult.
We learn from Capt. Alden, that the inhabitants
of Port au Patt and Santiago, had purchased the
American barque Albert, and gave her to the Domi-
nican government. She was TO be Immediately armed
with fourteen cannonades and two thirty-two's, on
pvots She was to proceed TO ST. Domingo City.
The Bridgewater left at Port au Platt five Dominl-
can schooners of war.
Before the B. sailed battle had been fought be-
tween the Haytiens and Dominicans, in which the
former were entirely defeated with the loss of ar
tilery, provisions, &c.
Produce was scarce; commercial transactions
were without interruption.
ANOTHER PHILOSOPHICAL CONVENTION IN THE
FIELD.-Philosopher Greeley, OF the Fourierites,
announces the important fact that the grand indus-
trial Convention" is to meet next week-on the six
teenth instant. This convention will be composed
much originality in philosophy religion, morals
decency, and common sense, made up the recent
"World's Convention" The only difference will
be that Mr.. Owen, the father of English socialism,
will not be member. Greeley will be the great
apostle Of the assemblage-as lively, miscellaneous
and useful the of the big sheet that Peter
beheld let down from Heaven
ANTtRENTERs IN THE CrTY.-The National Re-
formers, Anti-Renters, in this city, have nomi-
mated ticket for the ensuing election. This party
originated In this metropolis few years ago, but
| have never been able to create much influence.
Their. agiators and lecturers have, however, sue
ceeded so well In the country, that many of them
are now on their way to the gallows and State
prison. TO seal the truth of their doctrines We
will see how many votes the anti-renters can mus
ter in the city of New York
| The "NATrvE" PARTY.-This party is, it appears.
sinking and waning, as the day of election ap-
| proaches. On former occasions, the Express and
Courier, the organs of the wings, favored and fiat
tered the natives; but the tables are now turned and
both these prints are down upon their anclen,
friends. The Courier is particularly severe il
denounces the "native" movement as wicked >
and foolish '-brands the leaders IN it as "selfsh
demagogues "-and characterizes their efforts as
ridiculous attempts at "impossibilities. The
Courier may spare its powder. Nativsm is dead
as a herring.
MISS DELcY.-This distinguished artist has left
the hospitable mansion on Long Island where she
has been ruscatlng for the last few days. for Phila-
| delphia, where she commences an engagement on
| Monday next The most intense anxiety to hear
her exists amongst all the musical and fashionable
circles of Philadelphia. Her health, we are happy
to learn, has been completely established. On her
return to this city, the splendid operas of Don Pas
qsai aud the Bride Of Lammermoor will be produced
/ IN fine style.
POLITICAL lDoL.-The democratic papers seem
to make great deal Of fuss about Colonel Young,
who has received the nomination of some one of the
Senatorial districts OF this state. Colonel Young is
a very respectable country genteman-very obsli-
nate in his notions-very old fashioned-very queer
very eccenric-but possesses nothing to cons,i.
tute him the god of any mans dolatry. In fact, he
is very ordinary mortal, and the fuss made about
him reminds us very much of the kitten with the
long tail.
RELIGIOUS INrELLIGENcE.-The first of series
OF lectures on the distinctive tenets of the Catholic
Church, and the leading doctrines of Christianity,
will be delivered on the evening Of Sunday next, at
ST. Peters Church, by the very Rev. Dr. Power
the eloquent and popular vicar of this diocese The
subject is to be the "Bible." Dr. Power is a coun.
tryman and townsman of the late Bishop England,
and like that eminent man, is universally esteemed
In this community.
