SPLENDID LAUNcH-THE MONSTER SrEAMER.-The
monster river steamer, four hundred feet in length
and the stocks at the ship yard of Mr. William
H Brown foot Of Twelfth street, East River to be
launched at seven O'Clock Tomorrow afternoon She
is the largest river steamer built and probably
will be the swftest and most magnificent She is to be
propelled by fortysx feet wheels, and engine of if
teen feet stroke She is sixteen hundred tons burthen
and will carry, day boat full twenty-five hundred
passengers The first steamer compared to her, is
like cock boat to one Of our packet ships. This
steamer is to be fitted up in novel style with series
of splendid cabins parors that parties of ladies
and gentlemen can travel and have their dinners
served up d Ia Frdneaise. There is to be no table
dhoie 1t is the intention to place this boat the
Hudson River, to ply between this city and Albany
1t is expected that she will make the trip in six hours
This will enable her to go to Albany, and return
the day. We advise ALL fond Of such sights, to
witness the launch of this monster. They at the
same time see, on the stocks, the noble steamer
building for Mr.. =. X Collins Liverpool line. She is
three hundred feet long deck and three thousand
tons burthen.

IRISH ArrAIRs.-We understand that the SUBJ
scrptions are pouring into the Golfers Of the Irish
Provisional Committee of this city at rate which
Is hardly credible. Fifty thousand dollars will, 1t
is confidently asserted be transmitted by the steam
ship which will sail from this city on Wednesday
next. The real friends of Ireland are coming out
and they seem to vie with each other in the NUM-
ficence of their contributions.
We learn from authentic sources that the guam
tty of ammunition and arms IN Ireland ,secreted in
places known only to the leaders of the people, is
lmmense-suficient to last for prolonged warfare,
in case the matter be moi decided at once when
the blow shall have been struck
Mr.. O'Flaherty, the friend of Meagher, arrived
here by the last steamer, as the accredited agent
of the Irish leaders On his return he will take
with him all the money that may have been sub
scribed up to the hour of his departure.
There can be no doubt that the people OF Ireland
will receive great assistance from the United
States, towards accomplishing their independence
and freeing their native isle from foreign tyranny
and misrule.

Col. Dominguez, of Gen. Scott's Mexican Spy

Gen. Butler is also at the United States.
Capt. Dan Drake Henne, distinguished for that

General Taylor's reply to the wing nomination

Maryland says, that he did not authorize General
Saunders to speak for him in the wing conven-

We understand that letter is also in town from
General Cass, pedging himself, if elected, to veto
the Wllmot proviso.
There is yet an effort to be made in both Houses,
for the territories.

BRANCH MINT IN New York, AND THE Posr Or
rIcE ABusEs.-The necessity for the establishment
of branch mint IN New York, has been long and
forclby felt by our trading and commercial CON-
munty, and the refusal Of Congress to pass the
necessary law upon the subject, has created feel
ing of general Indignation. "IA l...
The gross tyranny of Congress, and the Post
master, in compelling the citizens of New York
to payn at the post office, on business transac-
tons, all sums in American coin, while they re-
fuse us the proper facilities for putting it IN crcu
latlon, is pa pabe, that few acts of greater IN
justice have ever been perpetrated. Most of our
business population are necessarily compelled to
take the Spanish and other coins and these men
transact the great bulk of the post office BUSINESS
affording an immense revenue to the government
The manifest injustice on the part of the post Of
flee, in refusing to take foreign com, while Con-
gress, at the same tlme obstinatey refuses us the
means of putting it out of circulation, should ar
rest the attention of some of our active members
of Congress, before the close OF the session.
The people of New York are bound, for their
own convenience, to make every effort IN this
matter, and should pay the government in SITS
own coin;" and the refusal to take foreign silver,
on business connected with the post Office IN this
city, makes out a prin,a facae case against Con-
gress and the government. Those who live
for half the year in Washington, and are CONVEX
SAINT with the ordinary mode of trade and business
transactions, will at once perceive the fact, that
large sums are made by shaving operations there,
in consequence of the circulation of foreign
CONS; and this affords a strong argument in
favor of the general circulation of American
com. But the glazing injustice which we have
pointed out, regards this city, should be prompt
ly and efficiently remedied.
The recent conduct of Congress on the subject
of New York mint, is an insult to the great COM
merclal emporium of the Union, and the perpetual
ton of this post Office abuse, taken in connection
with its many crying sins, is an aggravatlon suffi-
cient to rouse up whirlwind ofpublic indignation
against Congress in this community. We would
urge this whole subject upon the attention of Con-
gress even In the midst of its electioneerng spe-
culations and rowdyism. The wrong, the injus-
tee and imposition must be promptly remedied; and
we hold that the current coin of the Union is suf-
fciently legal tender at the post office, any law of
Congress- rule, rigid restrictions to the contrary
notwithstanding. Give us branch mint, or abo-
lish this post Office abuse. "Cook 1t any way,''
as Sir Giles Overreach says, even "wIthout orders
for the dumplin, and we maintain that the present
mpositions by the post office in this regard, are
palpable violation of sound law and equity
