I,s necunary benefit to the land cannot be seal

hundreds of thousands Of selfish people very petu-

hard to suit, that's sure case.
Tia venerable densuse Celeste is to make her
FIRST appearance to night. Some of our city pa
ners are engaged already in publishing puffs pre-
F;mnary for Lola Monies, that fair but foul cast
ng mistress of half dozen notabes, from the
Arch. Duke down to Capt. Head They are
sss.king 10 sublimate her vices, and making her
sort of Irish "Consuelo." Doubtless she has been
an enthusiastic reader of "George Sands" Mad
anne Duvenanl has probably produced many of
her stamp But | am inclined to be sorry that
have alluded to the Irish origin of this woman,
for she is d foul disgrace TO the beautiful isle
whose women are famous for their chastity. But
che will have the admirers, when she comes to

not entirely undeserved indgnty. Can we Won
der that Jenny Lind refuses to appear upon the
sage since it is dsgraced by such person.
Ii is refreshing to turn from this bad woman to
that true devoted daughter OF the Emerald Isle,
Catherine Hayes, ''the swan of Erin. This
eminent singer and vrtuons lady is to proceed to-
dav TO Boston on professional tour. She is ac-
companied by her mother and sisters. On her
r,urn hither she will give her second concert for
the benefit Of Father Matthew, and shortly after
wards visit Philadelphia.
The daily crowds of Roman Catholics to St.
Piers Church. SO remarkable for two weeks past,
had not ceased last evening, and as passed up
Barclay street l astonished to see what
multitude that filled not only the extensive build
aO but the broad and spacious vestIbule and steps
aIso and the street iG front The church is a
buoe granite edifice, surmounted by massive
Stone cross, and under it, in niche in the facade,
, colossal figure of a monk, bearing large key
an efigy, presume, of st. Peter. In the portal,
q, a little table in charge of old man was a
hoy. with the words 'For the Redemption OF st.
Peters" Another person, by whom all entering
must pass gave each Of those who did not look
inclined to contribute voluntarily, monitIou to
pu, in something.
The interior of the church was luminous with
Eubs. This was especially the case at the altar,
where, raised conspicuously, stood white fall
length image of the Virgin Mary, in a niche or
frame prousely ornamented with flowers, and
rendered almost bright enough to destroy the eye-
sight with lighted candies
The same embems were exhibited on the pre-
yous night, and prehaps for several evenings
prior, as to my knowledge there were multtudinous
meetings there every evening last week.
After the service of high mass on Sunday,
Father Matthew had his hands full in the ad-
mnisterng the total abstenence pledge to several
hundreds whom, in an eloquent address, he per-
suaded to come forward thus publicly and abJure
the use OF intoxicating drinks.
The receipts Of the sub-treasury on Saturday,
S99795 6l Indicate large demand for imported
goods. Indeed, trade, which received shock
like blow OIL the "crazy honey week before
last, has pretty well recovered from the be-
numbing effect of the financial explosions, and
resumed its wonted healthy action.

PREsIrENT's PaoCLAMA rios-Presiden Fillmore
having received reliable information from the U. S.
Consul at Matamoras, that company of Texans
had been organized and had marched to Join the
Iae rel outionarv movement in Northern Mexico,
and that new enlstments were making for the
same purpose, has issued the following
Observation-Disclosures, there is reason to be-
leve that military expedition is about to be fitted
out in the United States for the purpose Of nvad
ing the Mexican Republic, with which this coun- I
Try is at peace; and whereas, there is reason to
aPprehend that part of the people of this cOnn-
Try, regardless of their duties good citzens are
connected with or may be induced to take part in
the said military expedition; and whereas, such
enterprises tend to degrade the character Of the
United States in the opinion of the civilized world
and are expressly prohibited by law:
Now, therefore, | have issued this my procla-
nation, warning all such persons who shall con-
meet themselves with any such enterprise in viola
ton of tbs laws and national obligations of the
United States, that they will thereby subject
themselves to the heavy penalties denounced
against such offenders; that if they shall be cap
'ured within the jurisdiction of the Mexican au
horitles, they must expect to be punished accord
ing to the laws of Mexico and will have no right
10 claim the interposition of this Government.
therefore exhort all well disposed citizens, who
nave at heart the reputation of their country, and
are animated with a just regard for its peace and
us welfare, to dlscountenance, and by all lawful
means prevent. any such enterprise; and call
upon every officer of this Government, civil and
military, to be vigilant in arrestng for trial and
punishment every such offender.
G'yen nndel my hand, this 22d day of October,
u Tile year of our Lord one thousand eight hum
GTed and fiftyone and seventy-sixth year of the
dependence of the United States.
