Committee OF THE CITY OB 11ROOKLYN. Tho Itlcasajrci A document this, every way worthy of our chief magistrate and one whoso style, spirit, and intention, are creditable not only to Mr. Polk, but to tho Cabinet who, doubtless, united in its approval. We consider the present position of things such as to make it imperative on the government in all its branches to adopt precisely the course recommended, by the President, and wc believe the sentiment of Tammany Powwow last niffUtInter estlug rcmiuisccucc. By a polite invitation from the Tammany committee wo attended tho performances commemorative of the 58lh Anniversary of that ancient and fnr famod institution, last evening, held in the Old alias Tammany Hull, whoso whereabout every body knows.

The long talk on the occasion was delivered by M. M. Noah, an old veteran among politicians, and a better hearted man than you ordinarily find in that profession. The good old Major made one of the most interesting speeches we ever heard full of good advice to us young warriors in the camp, full of reminiscences of the past full oT instructive premises and inferences and clear, concise, and perfectly graceful 111 its literary style. Indeed, we have rarely heard a more pleasant spoken address, or one of a political nature which contained seeds of more salutary and edifying truth.

The good Major opened by alluding to the original objects of the Tammany Society, and of the 1 Sons of Liberty," the germ from which they sprang. Even at that time, the prime article of condemnatory of tho idea of returning to Romanism wliieh ho stigmatised as a scientific, historical and inspirilual religion. In the evening a trial took place of tho largo and splendid organ, which, wo understand, was constructed in Boston. Several eminent performers upon the instrument woro present, among whom was Mr. Grcatorcx.

It is a remarkably fine and powerful organ Tho church itself is one of (if not) the largest in this city. Its appointments arc perfectly plain and unpretending; and though exceedingly neat, is devoid of the gaudy ornament usually bestowed upon modern places of worship. Wo see it slated that Rev. Dr. Adams has declined tho call which was received by him lo take the pastoral charge of this congregation.

Rockwell's and Stone's splendid Circus is to perform in Brooklyn on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings and Saturday afternoon, on the lot adjoining the Brooklyn Garden. Tho establishment unites (he very best collection of equestrian and athletic performers in the United States; having among its members these pre eminent artists Levi North, McFarland, Hiram Franklin and John Gos sin North is universally conceded to be tho first horseman in the world, and his professional triumphs in Paris and London are probably remembered by all Americans, and especially by the people of Brooklyn, his native city. Gossin's name is the watchword of humor and inimitable wit and Franklin and McFarland have long been unapproachable as vaullcrs, tumblers, dec. A most magnificent spectacle, illustrative of a Bull Fight, and styled the Holiday Sports of Spain," is to be performed in the course of a long and charming variety of scenes. It attracted great applause in New York last winter Yesterday's Washington News by Magnetic Tel.

Congress. TUESUAY, 12lll. The Senate took up the House Bill, making the war appropriations. On motion of tho Hon. Mr Allen, the rules wero suspended.

Mr. Calhoun opposed all hasty action. He said it would be observed that the first portion of the bill amounted to a declaration of war, and that we should be sureof being right before making such a declaration The Hon. Mr. Allen said, that as war actually existed, no time was lo be lost in voting the requisite supplies to protect our troops and our citizens.

The Hon. Mr. Mangum was ready to vote any amount of men or money, and without any delay, declaring that there was as much patriotism on one side of the chamber as on tho other. Mr. Calhoun rejoined He said ho would not delay a moment he was ready to act now but why, he asked, vote for a bill which made a false declaration that war actually existed by the acts of tho Mexican government? Ho said there was more meant than actually met the eye, and than was demanded by the care and safety of tho army.

He added, that his mind was made up, and that he would neither vote for nor against the bill in its present shape. He might, he said be alone. Bo it so. He carod but Utile for popularity. He would not, for tho sake of making war on Mexico, make war on the Constitution.

Mr. Benton remarked that if tha Finance Com. mittee leported the bill as it now stood, the Military Committee would do the same; if the former modified it, so would the latter. Hon. J.

M. Claylon said he would volo any amount of men and money if the bill was truly and faithfully reported; and with a view that it might be so reported, he moved to refer tho bill lo the Committee on Military Affairs. Mr. Benton then stated the amendments which the Committee on Military Affairs had agreed upon in the morniiijr. One of them struck out the preamble and declared that war existed.

Mr. Allen said that the Cuniinitlee on Finance had also agreed to report the first part of the bill from the House. The question referring the bill to the Military Cominiltco was then rejected by a vote of 20 to 26. Mr. Al'en then said that the Committee on Foreign Affairs would havo made a report, if an opportunity had presented itself, that the Committee could not shut their eyes against palpable and glaring facts, viz: that actual war existed.

Mr. J. M. Clayton questioned Mr. Allen as to the other fact, that war canio from Mexico.

Mr. Allen made no reply. As the Telegraph dispatch closes, the Hon Mr. BY MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH. 'JTHE HOUSE HILL HAS PASSED THE SENATE INSOLENCE OF THE MEXICAN GENERAL.

Protest of Senators, tc. At about noon to day the Telegraph announces that tho U. S. Senate, last evening PASSED tho House Bill for Prosecuting the Mexican War, by a vole of 50 to 2 I There were one or two very slight amendments. A motion to strike out tho preamblsr was rejected by a vote of ayes 18, nays 28.

Thr House immediately met to take up the Senate bill. It doubtless passed the House again last evening. The Senate's principal amendment was to transfer the appointment of officers of the Volunteer Troops from tho President lo the Governors of the respective Stales. There were some other slight amendments, relating lo equipments, On the final passage Mr. Crittenden moved to vote srparatcly on tho Preamble and Bill, so as to allow his friends to vote the supplies who were opposed to the spirit of tho Preambe.

Tho Vice President decided that not in order, excrpt by unanimous consent. Objections were made. Mr. Margum then Jose, and said he was in favor of the bill and would vots for it, but entered his solemn protest against tho allegations in the Preamble. Mr.

Clayton and oilier WhigB followed in a siinilai strain when the vole was taken. Senators Davis, T. Clayton, Berrien and Calhoun refused to record their names. Ampudia has distributed a proclamation through; the American camp at the Rio Grande. Ho pronounces (he American Government unworthy ihe Clnistian name.

His Proclamation is directed to the English and Irish under Taylor's command. Gen Taylor is represented to have been born in Great Britain, and the Proclamation refers to the American antipathies to llicir birth place and the efforts to take Oregon, and calls on them with confidence to come lo the Mexican ranks. They are promised good treatment and expenses paid until their arrival at tho beautiful Capitol of Mexico. The Proclamation says "Germansl Poles! French! and individuals of other nations Separate yourselves from the Yankees and do not contribute lo robbery and usurpation which civilized Europe will look upon with the utmnst indignation. Come and array yourselves under the tii colored flag, in confidence that we, equally with the English, have armies to protect you and the flag." Dted April 6th, Head quarters or.

B. 11. BOOTH, Chairmen. Georce S. Conover, Secretary, my 1 1 ft "Will the Senate bar the appropriation? The telegraph misinformed llic public yesterday, in saying that tho bill appropriating ten millions of dollars, and authorising the raising of fifty thousand men, had passed both houses 01 Congress.

The Representatives passed it forthwith but the Senate up lo the last advices, taken no definite uction it We must confess that we see nothing manly or becoming in the labored argument of a mere tcch nicality, an whether war has actually been declared a Declaration of War requiring to come in tho same way as a law, by the consent of Congress as well aa the President or whether we are merely in a state of weir, with Mexico. The common sense of the country will revolt at theso refined and supcrfinicul distinctions. How can senators reconcile it to their consciences to elaborate prosy speeches on such a point, when every hour holds tho lives of our people, and the safety of our territory in its limits? God knows nobody can bo more desirous of a peaoo which does not involve disgrace, tlnn we. But occasions arise when a line must be drawn to the perpetuity of peace. Our soil is now invaded, and our army surrounded with a force far superior in numbers.

Our citizens ha ro been killed by the Mex icans in arms and the Mexican commander him Belf took the initiative step in the war when he declared that ho should consider such war as begun unless Gen. Taylor retired fiom a certain position on our own soil. Nothing remains but to swoop upon Mexico to show her infatuated leaders how widely they have mistaken both their power and ours. Wo would not upon her like tho hawk on its prey because there is no noed of a cruel and barbarous war. But there is need of stern rebuke, of a severe uiuuislakc able lesson.

We should march into Mexico in a man! nor to dictate peace for we havo persuaded, coaxed, and begged long enough. It is therefore true, now, that the ryesof all directed lo the Senate. Will they bar the appropriations asked by he President and ordered by an overwhelming vote of tho House? A few hours will answer the question, and settle the doubt. Later. It will be seen by our Postscript that the.

Senate have passed the Mouse Bill, 50 to 2 Good news, this and all that was necessary lo satisfy the sentiment of the Northern democracy. Wreck, and lavs of lives over a liutitlred One of the most deplorable marine accidents, we ever had to publish, happened on the 3d of the present month, at sea, a few miles South of Malanzas. At that place, on Sunday afternoon, 3d inst. at 4 o'clock P. the Swedish corvette Carlscrona, commanded by C.

J. Klmt, and just out fiom Havana, was struck by a squall and suddenly capsized, with 131 men on board When the squall struck the vessel, sho was thrown upun her beam ends, and the guns breaking away from their fastenings, crossed the deck upon their carriages, and in this manner caused her to turn bottom upwards, and in a few awful moments, she sunk below the surface, leaving nothing for hor crew lo cling to for safety but a few floating spars and tho long boat, which was also thrown bottom upwards. Tho scene at this moment was one of indescribable horror, but siiort duration, as the most of tho crew, including the cap tain, were carried down in the vortex created by the sinking of the vessel, without the power to mako an effoit for self preservation. Seventeen only were able to clutch hold of the long boat, and with but this support to sustain themselves in the water, they remained for abuut thirty hourst exposed to the buffeting of the waves and scorching sun, without a morsel to cat or a drop of water to allay their thirst. While in this situation the bark Swan, from New Orleans bound for Philadelphia, hove in sight, and being attracted to the spot by seeing some object in the distance, which was at first thought to be a piratical craft, the unfoitunates were speedily taken on board, and every attention which humanity could dictate, was cheerfully afforded by Captain Sncll of that vessel.

On the arrival of the Swan at Philadelphia, whioh place she reached day before yesterday, the unfortunates were taken charge of by K. D. Seldncr, the Swedish Consul at that port, and furnished with clothing and other necessaries, of which ihey were entirely destitute when picked up. Some of them have not yet recovered fiom the effects of their posure. The corvette Curlscrona had left Havana but two days previous on her return home from a cruise on which she started in August last.

A'. IT. City Uovi rnmeul. The new Mayor of New York, Mr. and the Common Council, were sworn ioto office yesterday.

David S. Jackson was subsequently chosen Pres. of tho Aldermen and D. T. Valentine, clerk In the assistants, Niel Gray was elected Pres.

and O. S. Bartles clerk. Tho usual standing commit, tees were appointed. Capt.

Thornton hack again. According to the Washington Union of Monday night, this spirited offioer (who was reported to havo been cither killed or taken prisoner, having charged into a largo force of the Mexican arms,) is back again to the Amcri oan camp. Discovering the ambuscade too late to retreat, he plunged gallantly through the cnemv'e ranks, and cut his way with a boldness and intrepidity that is almost incrediblo. It seems he is not to be killed by accidents of flood or field. He is the same gentleman who so narrowly escaped when the Pulaski was blown up.

Ho had tho yellow fever several times in Florida, and has passed through many other hair breadth 'scapes. When Gen. Worth left the camp, (says the Union) Capt. Thornton asked him for his sword. The gcntral buckled it upon him, and when he heard yesterday of Capt.

TVs gallantry, he exclaimed, 1. TM. 1 iuui wua my swuru. i Knew it never be disgraced in his hands. He is a noble and gallant a fellow as over held sword in Ihb Massachusetts this large and beautiful steamer passed down the bay Ihis morning, bound for the Potomac She fired bior tuns us she went along and overy Hy i bought of war oil.

The U. S. Steamship of War Princeton left Eos yesterday for Vcru with a gallant cr. and heavy armament I I all truo hearted Americans will support them. Wo gave a synopsis yesterday of this message but its importance, particularly in its concluding part, makes no excuse necessary for our transferring that part to our columns, as we do.

The first portions of the message relate, in a clear and succinct manner, all the endeavors that have been made to propitiate the Mexican government and their re jection. They describe the nature of the rightof the U. S. to the territory down to the Rio Grande and, indeed, if we have no right to the land between that river and the Neucos, we havo no right to Texas at all. Not only has the territory between thoso two rivers been represented up to the time of annexation," in tho Texian Congress but our government have included it in our revenue system, and a revenue officer was some time since appointed for it.

by and with the advico and consent of the Senate. In 183G the Grande River was solemnly declared by the Texian Congress lo be its southern boundary, and hns been so recognised ever since. The reasons of the President are strong and ample why Gen. Taylor was ordered to move to the banks of the Grande. Texas was threatened with invasion, and large preparations were made in Mexico avowedly for that purpose.

Besides what right has any foreign power to lake offence at our own movements, on our own soil? The inessago concludes as fol lows The grievous wrongs perpetrated bv Mexico unon our citizens throughout a long period of remain unreuresseu ana soicmu treaties, pledging her public faith for this redress, havo been disregarded. A government cither unable or unwillincr to enforce the execution of such treaties, fails to porfonn one of its plainest duties Our commerce wi'h Mexico has been almost an nihilated. It was formerly highly beneficial to both nations; but our merchants have boon deterred from prosecuting it by the system of outrage and extortion which the Mexican authorities have pursued against them, whilst their appeals through their own Governme nt for indemnity havo been made in vain. Our forbearance has gone to such extreme as to bo mistaken its character. Had wc acted with vigor in repelling the insults and rcdrcsssine the in juries inflicted by Mexico at the commencement, we stiouui uouutfess Have escaped all the difficulties which we are now involved.

instead of (his, however, wc havo been exerting our beat efforts to propitiate licr good will. Upon the pretext that Texas, a nation as independent us herself, thought proper to unite its destinies with our own, she has affected to believe that wc have severed her rightful territory, and, in official proclamations and manifestos, has repeatedly threatened to make war upon us for the purpose of reconquering Texas. In the mean time, we have tried every effort at reconciliation. The cup of furbcarancc had been exhausted, even before the recent infoimation from the fionticr of the Rio Del Norte. But now.

after reiter ated menaces, Mexico has passed the boundary of the United Slates, has invaded our territory, and shed American blood upon the American soil. She lias proclaimed that hostilities havo commenced, and thai the two nations are now at war As wur exists, and, notwitnstunding all our efforts to avoid it, exists by the act of Mexico herself, we arc called upon, by every consideration of duty and patriotism, to vindicate, with decision, the honor, the rights, and tho interests of our country. Anticipating liic possiuuity or a tiioia mat which has arrived, instructions were given in August last, as a precautionary measure," against invasion, or threatened invasion, authorizing Gen eial Taylor, if the emergency required, lo accept volunteers, not from Texas only, but from tho Stales of Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and ivuiiiuoivy anu corresponaing letters were addressed to the respective Governors of those States, These instructions were repeated; and in Jan uary last, soon after the incorporation of Texas into our union of states. General Taylor was farther authorized by the President to make a reoui sition upon the Executive of the State for such of its militia force as may be needed to repel invasion or to secure Ihe country against apprehended invasion. On tbc2d day of March he was again reminded, in the event of the approach of any considerable Mexican force, promptly and effectuallv lo use me auuiorny Willi wnicn lie was clothed to call to him such auxiliary force as he misrht need.

War actually existing, and our territory having Deen invaaca, Lcnerai i ayior, pursuant to authority vested in him by my direction has called on the Governor of Texas for four regiments of Stale troops two to be mounted, and two to serve on Toot; and on the Governor of Louisiana for four regiments of infantry, to bo sent to him as soon as practicable In farther vindication of our rights and defencoof our territory, invoke Ihe prompt action of Congress to recognise the existence of the war, and to nlace at the disposition of the Executive the moans of prosecuting the war with vigor, and thus hastening the restoration of peace. To this end 1 recommend that authority should be given to call into the public service a large body of volunteers, to 6ervo for not less than six or twelve months, unless sooner discharged. A volunteer forco is, beyond question, more efficient than any other description of citizen soldiers and it is not to be doubted that a number far beyond that required would readily rush to the field upon the call of their country. I "further recommend that a liberal provision bo made for sustaining our enlire military force, and furnishing it with supplies and munitions of war. The most engetic and prompt measures, and the immediate appearance in arms of a large and overpowering force, are recommended lo Congress aB the most certain and efficient means of bringing the existing collision with Mexico to a spoedy and successful termination.

In making these recommendations. I deem it nro per to declare that it is my anxious desire not only to terminate hostilities speedily, but to bring all matters in dispute between this government and Mexico to an early and amicable adjustment; and, in this view, I shall be prepared lo renew negotiations, whenever Mexico shall be ready to receive propositions, or to make propositions of her own. Frf.suet on the Susu.ueiian.naii. Another terrible flood on the Susquehanna, occurred on Sunday lust, resulting from tremendous falls of rain such as were experienced hereabout. In ihe vicinity of Pottsville, the consequences were melancholy.

The public works between Pottsville and Port Clinton have suffered very extensive damage. Queens co. Circuit Court. This court is now in Session "at the Court House, North Hompstead.

Suicides are increasing in frequency. Bv tho Norway Advertiser, wo learn that Mr Daniel Chute, of Otisfield, in Maine, committed suicide, early on Tuesday morning last, by hanging himself in his barn, where his body was found by lad who had gone lo call him to breakfast. He was a memb of the Congregational church, and no cause iis assigned for tho rash act. their creed was, the Sovereignty of tho States, in op position to the hobby of Centralization ridden by the federalists. The good Major also spoke of the second object of the institution of Tammany to preserve as far as practicable the perpetuity of the resident Indian tribes in our territory, to have them treated with kindness, and to act as a shield between the ambitious grasping disposition of our citizens, and the Indians' rights.

For this purpose, Tammany organized itself in the Indian manner, with Indian names, dress, customs, The gossip ping world aecused it of some secret purpose but tho good Major assured his hearers that it hud no other purpose than the benevolent one of aiding a down trodden but noble race Tammany was instrumental in forming most of the Indian treaties lor many years after tho close of the Revolutionary war it received from time to time deputations of the tribes, provided entertainment for them, listened to their grievanecs, treated them as brethren, and acted as mediators between them and tho government. The good Major mentioned, in particular, the reception, in 1796, of a delegation of over thirty chiefs and braves from the powerful Creek tribes then in a warlike attitude toward the U. S. govern ment. They were received in the Hall of the Old Exchange in Broad street and when they came into the room, and beheld a largo number of what appeared to be their own countrymen, dressed and ornamented in true savage slyle, they set up of a howl of joy and astonishment, that produced tho greatest consternation in tho crowd outsido, and spread divers terrible rumors through the city.

The conferences of this delegation with Tammany resulted in a peaceful setlleuicn'. of the dispute, and a treaty honorable to both parties. The good Major went on to say that though the Society had properly no political object, it had at last coino to be identified with Demosracy and indeed had always been so identified, haw and Liberty had ever been its motto, and the starting point from which its political principles radiated. A charm was supposed to reside in it by which it achieved great victories That charm, however, was nothing more than what was contained it its motto, and in its adherence te that motto. But what seemed especially opportune, were the remarks offered by the good Major on tho present division in the ranks ef tho Democracy.

Ho was plain and open about them. He denounced the spirit which caused, and tho effects which resulted from, such needless and unprofitable disputes. He denounced the unmanly and tyrannical disposition to proscribe any democrat for opinions' sake. Why should we be broken up in warring cliques? Why should we stigmatiso each other with the names of 'Old and Burnburners If the spirit of the good Major's remarks were mare prevalent, there would soon be an era of better feeling. When tho good Major alluded to Mr.

Van Buren and lo the present Gov. of our state, as he did in a favorable manner, there was one of those tempests of enthusiasm such as only Old Tammany ever gets up In tho course of the speech, the Calumet, or pipo of peace, (a long Indian pipe, the buwl shaped as the head of a hatchet,) was passed round, and a whiff taken by all who chose. It was passed to us, but, though our democracy is as staunch as any man's, we have no predilection for the and respectfully After the address, the company was entertainod with a handsome cold collation. Mr. Delevan, the presiding officer, read off a number of toasts among which were somo that evinced pretty plainly the willingness of the Democracy of New York to support the government in its present altitude toward Mexico.

Upon the whole, we consider the entertain, ment of last night, plain, sociable, and unprctensive as it was intended to be one of the most truly gratifying and delightful that we were ever present at. A fair sprinkling of those present, wo noticed, were our Brooklyn democrats, young and old. Some friend of the Advertiser should hold or peradventuro it may incontinently beat out its innocent brains. The leading article in yesterday's number, exhibits a state of mind compared to which an African hurricane is a mere whiff. Now what evil have we loco focos' done? As to a scrape," we submit that if any body is in a scrape, just now, ice are not the ones.

Nor have the people of this city declared against us at the last election, our democratic candidates received a thou sand majority in Brooklyn I Nor have the old ruins on the site of the City Hall remained undisturbed a great portion has been removed. Nor do we behold imy fraud in the case tho new law, which requires a majority of all tho members of the C.

Worth rktuned to the seat of war. One of our N. Y. contemporaries stales that immediately on the recept of tho disastrous news from the Rio Grande, at Washington, Gen. Worth called on the Secrelary of War, and inquired whether any action had been taken on his resignation.

He was teplied to in the negative, when he instantly withdrew it, and volunteered to return to tho camp. Ho was expected to leave Washington yesterday for tho scat of war. War meeting in Phildelpuia.

Sawyer spoke against it, and in continuation of his remarks of yesterday. Anetlier messago was received from the President, covering farther correspondence between the Government and the army in Texas. This the Clerk is reading as the dispatch closes. lutellig cnce. Naval.

There is some slight evidence of preparation at our Navy Yard this morning but we could not learn whether Capt. Stringham, tho commandant is preparing for war, or to receive orders. Thirty oaulkcrs wero this morning ordered on board the eloop of. war Dale, from the North Carolina, and at the time we were there they wero engaged in making considerable noise in the way of hammering the deck seams of the sloop. The Dale, which, by the way, is one of the finest of our national vessels in every respect, is in readiness for sea, with the exception of hor officers and provisions.

The former are probably appointed by this time, and sho can be put in complete sailing trim, and her crow shipped in one week's time. The vessels at the navy yard are, the sloops of war Dale, Preble and Boston frigate Macedonia and store ships relief and Lexington besides the receiving ship North Carolina and the tub Fulton. The frigate Sabine and sloop Albany are on the stocks the latler can be launched in two weeks, having been completely prepared for that ovent in 1842. The Sabine has been found unsound in her keel and some of hertimbers, and the foundation upon which she rests is in a very decayed condition. A number of workmen last week commenced removing the latter, and its place will bo gradually supplied wilh more healthy materials.

This vessel was commenced in 1824, and requires a great deal of work lo finish her. There is somo talk at the Navy Yard of the work upon the Dry Dock being suspended in case of an open war with Mexico, which will preclude the anticipated appropriation for this gigantic The number of men now engaged upon it has been lessened lo one hundred and fifty, in consequence of the last appropriation having been nearly consumed. Wo should not bo surprised to see at least one thousand artisans engaged in active employment at the yard, in the course of the coming month, purposo of building now, and completing unfinished vessels, to cope with the agents which Mexico may employ to harrass our commerce. Somo war steamers will hare to be built, and it is not unlikely that Brooklyn may have her share of them. The Anniversary of the Brooklyn Sunday Schools is to be held on the 19th inst.

Dedication. A very large audience consisting of at least two thousand persons assembled in the church of the Pilgrims, yesterday afternoon, for tha purpose of attending the services dedicatory of the now build ing. Several divines participated in the services on thin occasion, among whom wero Rev. Drs. Cheever, Adams, and Rev.

Mr. Sprague of this city. The exercises consisted of singing, prayer, reading of Ihe scriptures, and sermon. The latter was delivered by Mr. Cheever, and though very lung was a most able discourse.
