ARREST OF MAIL SMUsaLER.-For some time
suspicion has existed that young man named Or
landa Ware, who has travelled through the country
from Canada West, was engaged in carrying malable
matter from Canada to the steamers. On Saturday
last, P. Mundy, tho postmaster at this village went
and took passage in the steamer for Oswcgo on which
boat Ware was also passenger While on his way his
baggage examined by Of the custom house of
packages which were taken possession Of by the depu

their arrival at Oswego, Ware proposed giving bail on
Monday and remain la custody Of MIR l.. during sun

The TREATY AND TRIsr CoRREsPoyDENcE-Mr
Richie, of Washington city, has taken no notice
of the question which we put to him in relation to
the manner in which the Trist correspondence was
first published in one of the New York journals
We showed from the Developments made by Mr..
Richie himself, that the natural inference SPRING
ing out of his disclosures, led the mind to the be
lief that the correspondence referred to was divulg-
ed by the occupant of the White House himself If
this be the fact the recent fuss made about the pub
LEGATION of the treaty in journal, must have been
made intentionally, on pretended motives, and in
Machiavelian policy. Will Mr.. Richie have
the goodness TO answer the enquiry we put to him,
Ifhc will not, but remains determined to answer
nothing, let him not expect to be let off so easily

THE DRAMATIC QUESTION AT THE BowERY.-
The great question connected with the drama
whether the new tragedy of" Jacob Leisler," with
Mr.. Murdoch, is equal in merit to ''Metamora" and
Mr.. Forrest, is still the subject of nightly discus
sion at the Bowery Theatre.
These are now the two exciting points in drama
tic literature in New York, and the pc ople of the
eastern region of the city seem to take great nte-
rest in their decision, by the manner in which they
nightly crowd the Bowery establishment. For
ourselves, we intend to ascertain the facts on both
sides of the question, before make up our minds
upon it. The warm friends of Mr.. Forrest insist
upon it that Metamora'' is greater tragedy than
" Jacob Leiser" and Mr.. Forrest mightier TRACE
dian than Mr. Murdoch. In some respects this
opinion is certainly well founded. There is more
theatrical blood and thunder in 'Metamora" and
Forrest, than in "Jacob Leisler' and Mr.. Murdoch
But although blood and thunder in sufficient guam
titles, are capital ingredients for the melo-drama
they not the best materials for the higher order
of the legitimate drama The question, however,
remains still undecided, and il seems the audience
at the Bowery Theatre mean to take few nights
more before they decide upon the question, and
vote who is who, and what is what When they
are ready, we think there ought to be vote taken
at Murdochs benefit, in order to decide this matter,
so important to the interests of the drama.

THE ANNrvERsARIEs.-We continue our reports
of the moral and religious anniversaries, and their
various features, as they were represented yeser-
day. According to the scriptures, the old serpent
better known the devil, Satan, went about the
world, in ancient times, like roaring lion, seeking
whom he might devour and make prize of, to carry
to his pit in the quarter below. In these modern
days, the same distinguished gentleman pursues
his career, in a somewhat different shape and
form, and is clothed in different habiliments and
assumes a different character. The devil now
wanders about the world as a philosopher, as an
orator, and sometimes even as a clergyman and a
lecturer, preaching all kinds of humanity and to-
lerance towards the wicked sinner-the inmates of
State prisons and warehouses;; whilst the indus
trious, the quiet, the temperate, and the honest are
treated aristocrats and the destroyers of social
happiness among the people. The devil now as
sumes the shape of a reformer, clothed in a white
hat and scanty pantaloons, preaching regeneration
and reform of all kinds.
These anniversaries are anomalous assemblaqes.
originally started by Christians for the purpose of
spreading the principles of Christianity, of all
kinds, at home and abroad, and for other bene-
VIOLENT purposes. We now see principles of the
widest socialism and the most fanatcal ANAL
gamation becoming the most prominent objects of
the day. Yet it is happy thing for society that
these opinions-so ultra and so fanatical-are con-
fined to few little clubs of individuals, and do
not pervade the great working and industrious
classes of society in this metropolis, or elsewhere
in the United States. Public opinion is sound,
and we hope and trust that it will long continue so.
If the practical and steady republicans of France,
and all Europe, would only take lesson from the
good sense and discretion of the republicans of this
land, they would succeed better, either against the
efforts Of monarchists take away their liberties,
the intrigues of anarchists, under the guise of
philosophers, to involve society in confusion and
horror.

Mexican AMalrs-The Treaty or Annexation.
The opinion Is beginning to gain additional
strength that the treaty which was sent from Wash
mgton to Mexico, under the care oftwo commission
ers will not receive the sanction of the Mexican 60
vernment, or that If it do, the confirmation will
amount practically to nothing. Appearances all
sides certainly justify such expectations. Even
should the treaty be confirmed by the shadow of the
government at Queretaro is not possible that peace
between the two countries could long remain. The
condition of society in Mexico is woful in the ex-
IRENE. Every thing is in state of disorganzation
and misrule. The revolutionary condition of Eu-
rope does away with all the expectations which the
Mexican chieftains formed of getting assistance
from that quarter order to repel the troops of the
United States. Mexico now lies at the feet of the
government of the United States, fit for nothing
but to be moulded and shaped in such form as we
choose to give it.
In such new position of things, it may be we'll to
ascertain whether it would not be more advisable
to make arrangements for the absorption of all
Mexico, including Yucatan, under the government
of the United States, in some shape or form calcu-
lated to preserve the integrity of our institutions, as
well as to give Mexico chance to redeem her
character and pretensions to a civilized people.
Mexico is rich and wealthy country, in the hands
of Industrious people. She is full of every thing
that Is valuable; but the present race which pos
sessss the control over its destinies seems to be
utterly incapable Of developing her resources
to any imaginable extent. Annexed to the United
States as a territory, and possessing such stable
government as we could give her, previous to her
ultimate admission, the influence from this coun-
try would be great and important, in giving an en-
trcly new character and new development to her
resources and her population. The mineral and
agricultural resources of Mexico would then have
fair chance of being deveopedb by capital and indus
try from the United States-order and regularity
would be given to her government and social insti-
tutions On every hand, the final absorption and
annexation of Mexico could be gradually brought
about without any danger to the integrity of this
Union, or any bad influence on our foreign rea-
tons. Europe will never interfere, and there is
no power on earth capable of putting straw in
the way of any such liberal policy as the United
States might choose to adopt.
This really seems to be the question that soon
will be placed before the Executive and Congress
for solution. We have little hope of any treaty be-
ing confirmed. The Yucatan question will be
merged in the greater question of annexation, and
save the necessity of any nice distinctions being
taken in the discussion of that matter hereafter in
Congress We may as well prepare for our desti-
N.Y. and that destiny really seems to be- the annex
alton and final absorption Of all Mexico. Possibly
may follow; but one is enough at time.

The ELECTRIC TErEsRAPH-We publish in an
other column, letter from Professor Morse to a
ootemporary, giving his views upon the recent pub
LEGATION made by Mr.. Balm, giving an account of
new discovery, or new application, as regards the
electric telegraph. From the statement of this let
ter it appears that the superiority claimed by Mr.
Balm for his invention, is not so overwhelmingly
great as the public have been led to imagine. Ii
appears there are three great plans for telc-
graphic operation, now before the public, namely,
those of Morse, House and Balm. The general
principle of these three appears to be the same
that of Morse, however, still seems to be both the
simplest and cheapest, though that of House pos
sesses some greater advantages in other respects
The difference between these two, we understand,
is this that what Houses plan gains in rapldity,
it loses in accuracy-which, compared with Morses
plan, gives the superiority to the latter What
Bain's plan gains at all, we have yet to learn dis
tinctly, as we have not seen it in practical opera
ton. We hope they may all succeed to the perfect
satisfaction Of the inventors but Morse is certain
ly entitled to the credit Of the first invention and
application of this wonderful medium of ntcrcom-
municaton-a medium by which nations at distant
points of the earth, and people distributed over
areas thousands Of miles in extent, are brought
together into one compact society, animated by
one impulse, connected by one intelligence, at the
same instant of time.
