every obstacle in the way of the American line
The spirit evnced in the extract from the circular
we. give above, is so plain to be seen, that it will
ultimately react upon them, and do our steamers
more good than HARM. At all events, the American
steamers can successfully compete with the Eng

ORGANIZATION OF THE BARNpURNERs-A PUBLIC
MOVE FOR GENERAL TAyLoR.-That portion of the
democratic party which has been called barn
burners by some, and more recently "cut-throats"
by others, has had several meetings during the
last few days, and has appointed committee to
make arrangements for holding large mass meet
ing in the Park on Tuesday afternoon, the 9th
instant, when, as we are gwen to understand,
they intend to nominate General Taylor for Presi-
dent, Thomas II. Benton for Vice-President, and
Senator Dix for Governor of this State. This is
to be in anticipation of the wing nominations in
Philadelphia on Wednesday next, the 7th instant,
and at the same time to take the wind out of the
sails of all other parties now floating before the
breeze. This will be truly curious meeting, and
must have an influence upon the Presidential ques-
ton.
The first meeting upon this subject was held at
Tammany Hall, on Tuesday, the 3lst ut The
chairman of that meeting was Stephen Allen,
gentleman we'll known among the democracy of
New York. A committee of arrangements, con-
ssting of three from each ward, was then appoint
ed from among the old democrats. They met at
Stoneall's, in Fulton street, again last evening,
and according to the most accurate Interpretation
of the sentiments of this section of the democracy,
there seems to be no doubt but that they will nomi
nate General Taylor for next President, Thomas
Hart Benton for Vice President, and probably Sc
nator Dix for Governor of this State, on the en-
suing election. These nominations will have
powerful bearing upon the movements in Philadel-
phia next week; and if the wings do not at once
take up Gen. Taylor-if they insist upon putting
Mr.. Clay forward-there will be three candidates
before the country, and the chances of Gen. Taylor
will be perhaps the best of the three, and at all
events, as good as any of the Others
The late Thomas II. Smith, we'll known as an
eminent China merchant of this city, was an ex-
tremely liberal and open-hearted man, and parti-
cularly SO to the sailors on board his ships, of

back with establishment, and gazing intently upon
the merchant, edo you really say you are the

Smith. "Then give us your hand, my hearty"
said the sailor, "you have soul to be saved, and

ARRIVAL OF THE News STEAMRR.-The news
steamer Naushon, recently purchased by the
Herald, and four of our contemporaries, arrived
here yesterday aftertoon from New Bedford, ria
Edgarton. The following is the report of her cap
tain:
NEW YoRK, June H. S4S
Steamer News Boat Naushon, from New BEDFORD
nesday night last The whole distance she encoun-
tered strong wind from n w to w. with very heavy
cross sea- and has proved herself first rate boat
Her speed is fifteen miles per hour; but
the heavy she could not be drove her passage
from New Bedford to Edgarton. When off the east
end of the Island Of Naushon, on Wednesday noon,
she passed several rugged vessels bound west
among them, the barks Ida, of Boston, and Empress,
and brig Eshcol; passed Holmes Hole, her way to
forty sail and many more most of them fishermen,
coming in for harbor, account Of the high winds
from the westward For tho last sixty miles in the
Sound not vessel bound west on account
Of the heavy blow.
Yours, &C., ABRAHAM BANCKER
The name of the steamer is to be changed from
Naushon to The NEwsBoY. She is to be emmedi-
ately overhauled, and put in complete order and
will probably be ready for service on Monday. It
is expected that her speed will fully meet the ex-
pectaton of those who have entered into this piece
OF newspaper enterprise but if she is not fast
enough, all we have to do is to obtain one that will
ensure the purpose for which The NEwsBoY was
purchased.
FASHIONABLE STORES AND SHoPPING.-Of late
years, splendid stores in Broadway have multiplied
to most extraordinary extent. 1t is only necessa-
ryt 60 into Beck'sor Stewards, or any other splen-
did establishment of the same kind, to be convlnc-
ed that great revolution in matters Of taste and
refinement has taken place in the shopping line
We can now rival Berlin, Paris, London and Vi
emma, themselves, in splendid establishments, de-
voted to the service OF fashionable ladies' These
magnificent stores are filled with valuable and cost
ly goods of the newest fashion,; and are, besides
interesting places for the assembling of fashlona-
bic ladies, and ofdoing much business in gossipng,
chit-chat, sentiment, love, and fol dc rot. While
the brokers arc busy in Wall street, putting each
other into corners-and endeayorinp IN shave with
