NEW YORK HERALD. Hew York, Nplembw tt9. 1HT. Tk? H.r?M ft>r *?ro|>?. The steamship Union will leave this port tor Prance to-morrow, and the Britannia will leave Boston tor Liverpool the day after. The mails for both will close intbiacity to-morrow. We ahall issue aa usual an edition of the Herald for Europt for each eteamer? that for the French steamship containing a synopsis of American newa since the sailing of the last steamship, in French, for the use of the Continent, and both containing the latest newa from the seat of war, and from everv part of the country, including the markets, and perhaps the terms of a treaty of peace between the United States and Mexico. They will comprise a dish of American news that will be read with interest in every part of, Europe. The engraving will be a representation of the steamship Britannia receiving repairs on the sectional dock. _ Newa from Europe. The steamship Philadelphia, from Cherbourg, will be due on Friday next. She will bring two week* later intelligence from the Continent of Europe. Our arrangements are now so far completed, that we shall probably receive regularly by each French steamer, letters from our special correspondents situated in continental Europe, south of the line running east and west through Paris, and containing a simmary of the news for each current fortnight. These special despatches will, in the present posture of affairs in Europe, be of the most absorbing interest. Our Relations with Brazil. We learn from an authentic source that an order has just been issued troin the Treasury Department at Washington, requiring the collectors at the different ports of entry to levy a duty of twenty per cent upon coffee imported from Brazil, in the vessels of that nation. If there is authority for this, we have some curiosity to know why it has not been put in force before this, and why it is enforoed at thib particular juncture. If it is merely for revenue, it will not amount to much, as very little coffee is imported into this country from Brazil in Brazilian bottoms. There is a Brazilian vessel now in Boston with coffee, and another in Philadelphia, but this is an unusual occurrence, and is attributed to the scarcity of American shipping at Rio Janeiro, and other Brazilian ports. We have no commercial treaty with Brazil, and the commercial intercourse of the two nations is regulated by the tariffs of each. We have not heretofore been aware that there existed authority for such restrictions upon the commerce of Brazil with the United States, and in the absence ef anything definite as to the object of enforcing the law, we are induced to believe that the recent acts of the Brazilian government, relative to our whaling vessels visiting their ports, have been the principal cause of this movement on the part of ours. Ttw Question of Compromise?Its Importance to the Union. TUom or? nKoorinor indiriitinnn nf A more moderate tone of feeling at the South aB well as at the North, on the slavery question, as connected with the acquisition of the California?. The Wilmot proviso, so violently thrown in the teeth of Southern men, last session, drove them, in the height of exasperation, to an equally impracticable extreme. Many, and among them Mr. Calhoun, declared against the Missouri compromise. But if a serious resistance to the extension of the compromise line to California was ever contemplated by Mr. Calhoun, and those who acted with him, there is reason to believe that the recent frank declaration of Mr. Buchanan against the proviso, followed by the very general approval of his sentiments by the press of the North, has softened the asperities of feeling which have existed at the South aver since this ill-advised doctrine was first promulgated. Many of the more influential journals of the South, among them the reputed organ of Mr. Calhoun, have recently declared their approval of the extension of the Missouri compromise line, as a means of adjusting the difficulty raised in regard to the further acquisition of territory. Why, then, open up this question anew, if the South be willing that it be decided on the basis of the Missouri compromise 1 The position has been assumed that the constitution itself was a result of compromise, and that with its establishment all compromise was at an end. Wherefore T It is true the constitution was the result of compromise; but why should compromise cease with its formation 1 If the wise men who framed it had been averse to the perpetuation of the system of compromise, they would not have built upon that system an instrument, which they intended to transmit to posterity, as ine urn 01 ine covenant maue urtween the several members of the confederacy. In that instrument they set a lasting example of compromise ; and it is fair to assume that they would not have done so had they regarded such an example as dangerous. To argue that, because the constitution was the result of compromise therefore all compromise should cease from its establishment, would involve as great an absurdity as that, because this fair world was created by a harmonious combination and arrangement of the various elements of its organization, therefore harmony should thenceforth ceaae on earth, and the example set by the Creator, in the formation of the universe, should not be followed by his creatures in their daily intercourse with each other. The whole machinery of this government of oura ia regulated and works on a system of compromise. The very revenues that maintain it are derived from a tariff", which is a practical exemplification of this spirit. The laws of the General Government are framed with an impartial regard to the interests of every portion of the country; but the interests of different sections of the country are adverse, each to the other ?therefore impartial laws must involve mutual accommodation and compromise. It will not be contended that what suits Massachusetts is for the interest of South Carolina, or what is pleasing to Maine is equally so to Louisiana. The habits of the people, their feelings, their mteresta, their occupatioaa are different, and must i ever remain so. Lawa framed specifically to suit each must consequently be diametrically opposite in their aim and character. Therefore, in order to do equal juatice to both sectiooa, mutual concession must enter aa a primary element into all laws of the General Government. This mutual concession in what is commonly known by the name of " compromise." If, then, into the formation of laws regulating commerce and other domestic concerns, this thing, called compromise, of necessity enters primarily, it should also enter into the formation of laws relating to slavery, for the reason that the North and the South differ as much on that question as on any other. Hut difference of opinion on questions of commerce and other cognate questions, does not involve danger of a dissolution of the I nion. difference of opinion on the slavery question does therefore, a mnlort, should compromise enter into the adjudication of all questions relating to slavery. Accordingly, prudent statesmen o^the North and of the South, as well in the formation of thr. constituton as on two subsequent occasions, in the case of Louisiana and of Texas, impressed 'I ???? . "1 1 with the conviction that the maintenance of the Uaion was incompatible with a at net adherence to the principles of either section of the country, adjusted the difficulty by mutual conception. The nation has three timea compromised the slavery question, with its eyea open. If, sb is said, to compromise the slavery question is to compromise the constitution, a most wicked and dangerous examp e was set us by those who framed thai constitution, and that instrument has been twice compromised and violated by Bome of the wisest and best men this country has ever produced. Are we so pure, so wise, so patriotic, as to be justified in constituting ourselves censors of the purity, the wisdom, the patriotism of those who framed the constitution, and of those who have since followed their example? The Dkmocsatic Stats Convention.?The democratic State convention, for the nomination of State officers to be elected by the people in November next, will be holden this day at Syracuse. The following are the names of the principal aspirants, but we must inform oar readers that there are, in addition, a large batch of others, whose chances may b? considered very slight, although their desire to be elecied is very great ros comftiollii.

Total Loss ok thk Packet Ship Auburn and her Crew.?A letter from the wreck-master at Long Beach, was received yesterday, by the se ^f.L? i i _r i -.-la I L. ?L urcmry ui uie uuaru ui unucrwriicru, ui wuiuu 111c following is a copy :? Lono Bkach, Sept. 25, 1847. The ship Orbit, of New York, Capt. White, from New Orlennn, came uhore on the Long Beach, Bamegkt Inlet, on Saturnay night last. She hu gone to piece*, and the oaptaln, first mate and sixteen other* are lost Your* reapeotfully, EDWARD GENNINOS, Wreck-master. It is here distinctly stated that it is the ship Orbit, but as there is not a ship belonging to this port of that name, it is believed beyond a doubt to be the Auburn, Capt. Hoyt, which sailed from New Orleans on the 24th of August for this port, and was on Saturday fairly due. The Auburn was a regular packet between this city and New Orleans, belonging to the late firm of Stanton & Frost. She was to have been sold on her arrival, for the purpose of settling the affairs of the firm. Her cargo was valuable, consisting 362 bales of cotton, 15 bales of moss, 34 sacks of wheat, 4 bales of buffalo robes, 5075 pigs of lead, a quantity of indigo, castor oil, starch, 569 bales hemp, and about 68 packages of merchandise, which, with the vessel, was valued at about Beventy-five to one hundred thousand dollars, and insured in "Wall street. The amount is pretty well divided among the offices. She was a good ship of five hundred and fifty tons burthen, built in this city about ten years since, and was valued at $20,000. Omnibussks is Broadway.?Unless the corporation ordinance, requiring the drivers of omnibusses to " keep to the right," be more strictly enforced than it has been, Broadway will be unsafe ior private vehicles, or even for pedestrians. It not unfrequently occurs that the drivers of these ..large vehicles upset private carriages, thereby endangering the lives of their occupants, for the purpose of securing a sixpence, before the passenger be taken up by the omnibus a little way behind. This should not be allowed, and if the nuisance continue to exist, private carriages will be forced to abandon the use of Broadway, and leave it in the exclusive control of the omnibusses. By the way, we are happy to see that the Common Council have directed Mr. liuss to pave another good portion of this beautiful avenue with square blocks of granite, in the same way &9 he is now doing the upper part. This is a good move, and we hope to see it all paved in tuc oauic iiiaiiuct utiuib uiau j jto id, ttiicii i i ut 9 and the omnibusses kept within proper regulations, Broadway will compare favorably with any street in the worl Launch of the Hermann.?The large and elegant steamship Hermann, the second in the line between this port, Southampton, and Bremen, will be launched tomorrow afternoon, at half-past one o'clock, from the yard of Messrs. Westervelt and McKay, foot of Seventh street. It is the intention of the company to have her ready to make her first trip sometime in December, under command of Capt. Crabtree. Militia Parades on Monday next.?The notice published in this paper is the only notice required bylaw. The service may be avoided by paying to the Receiver of Taxes seventy-five cents before the parade. Steamship Britannia left at anearly hour yesterday morning for Boston. Steam was "got up" while she was on the dock, and the moment she touched water, she headed for sea and sailed for her destination. From Venezuela.?We are in receipt of filet* of El Republicano, published in Cumana, up to the 2d of August. They contain nothing of interest.

We should think that nor* paopl* rtsiUd th* theatre* ud other places of nilnl?at last evening and on Mo?day evening, than w* iwr hare known to do do befar*. Ths Tark last evening was brilliantly attended by the faahionable portion of the public, to see Mr*. Mowatt in her new play. The Bowery waa filled from pit to dome. The (ihatham waa aa full aa It oould well be. Tha naw theatre In Broadway waa filled to overflowing; so was the Tabernacle to hear Hart and Sirori; so waa Mitchell's; so waa the Museum, so waa Palmo's Opera Houaa; and the Bowery Clrous oould not oontaln many mora than were there. An immense sum of money must hare been expanded in theatrioals that evening; a greater sum we can safely ay than has aver been expended in this city on one e Ten log for amusements. We think this affords conclusive evidence that our oity is in a prosperous condition. Pabb Theatre ?Mrs. Mowatt's playof'Armand" was repeated last evening at the Park, and was reclved, as on tha occasion of it* first presentation, with unaffeeted demonstration* of applaus*. The piece i* well written and well constructed for the stag*. Th* interest whioh is ?xoit*d at th* opening, but not raised too high, gradually Increase* after th* first act, and finally augments to a climax, whioh is developed in the last seme. There ll no lagging, no lauing on, iruui unt w un. ? ? tar* v? well sustained Riohclleu, the unscrupulous oourtler and politiolan, Louis XIV.. the licentious king, Armand, the ohlld of the people, the oonstant lover, the brave soldier, and true man, with the other characters, wbloh All up the pieoe, are all done in a manner which reflect* oredit on the gentlemen and ladle* to whom the various part* are assigned, and among them we mnst not forget Mr* Vernon a* Babette, the peasant dame. High hope* were raised in fkvor of the piece, when it was known that the writer of the play waa not only to oversee the rehearcal of it, but waa to perform the principal part herself The** hopes have not been disappointed. The aotlng show* that the author I* duly apprecla- i ted, her coneeption* perfectly comprehended by the whole oaat. and all the minor point*, whlob often make or mar a drama, are well brought out, and tell with admirable effeot. There are, perhaps, a few lncldenta j whioh might be improved or excluded from the play. . We have in our mind at preaent the scene of the ruatlc danoe in whioh Blanohe and Armand come upon the tag* together; almoat aa soon a* they appear she par- i tlaily faints, but Immediately recover*, when the dance , oommeno* * in whioh she Join*, and finally yields to the Influenoe of the drug which Richelieu has previously ad- J ministered to her, when she has danced through the < fl,ure The effeot would be better preserved if the first ] fainting soene were excluded The audience are already j ' advised, by having seen her take the draught, of what 1 they may expect and are. therefore, prepared to see the effect which follow* This may be a small matter; but ' the soene would be more perfect if the first faintneas were excluded But of the whole piece, w* cannot, in ' juatice, speak otherwise but In praise At the oonolu- < aion of the play, Mr* Mowatt was called out, and again < reoelved the proud reward which a gratified audience 1 awarded with great enthusiasm " Armand" will be 1 repeated to-night. It i* destined to be popular. ' Bowkkt Theatre.? As might hav* been expected the n*w drama entitled the " Siege of Monterey, or the , Triumph* of Rough and Ready," whioh we referred to , particularly yesterday, attracted last evening at the , Bowery, as large an audience a* the establishment _ could contain. The enthusiasm with which each part i was received, waa fully aa great a* that whioh charac- 1 terlsed it* first produotlon. It 1* acknowledged by all J who have seen it aa the most attractive and splendid piece that Mr. Jackson ever produced. We devoted more time to the examination of the soenery and the general 1 getting up of this pieoe, last evening, than we had an opportunity of doing the evening before, and wo are de- | cidedly of that opinion. Mr. Jaokson 1* determined 1 that th* Bowery will reoeive its share of patronage.? The "Siege of Monterey" will be repeated to-night with the same oast, and the comedy of the " Spectre ' Bridegroom, or a Ohost in Spite of Himself," will be added to the evening's amusements. Chatham Theatre.?The new pieoe whioh we referred to in yesterday'* paper, vis., " The Lonely Man of the Ooean, or the Night Before the Bridal," was repeated last evening, and was enthusiastically received by a very large audienoe. Every act, every soene, and the personation of every part, drew forth repeated bursts of applause, and many were the encomiums passed on the manager for his enterprise in providing what he thought would be aooeptable to his patrons. We have never seen Mr. Neafle to better advantage than we saw him in this piece, and it is no more than just towards the gentlemen and ladles who took the remaining oharaoters, to *ay that they all acquitted themselves very handsomely. It will be repeated to-night, and a new comedy will likewise oe perourmru. Circus?Bowery Amphitheatre.?The oddities of Slgnor Felix Carlo, and the extraordinary feats of the Holland Aorobat Family seem to please the patron* of this establishment highly. The Olympian games of Luoian and Albert Holland performed on a barrel, are truly wonderful, and the extra vagansa of the Chinese Fair, with all its fun and trloks, tickle* the fancy of the youngsters hngely. The performances in the oirole are varied and exeelUnt, comprising comic singing, horsemanship, still vaulting, tight rope dancing, Ethiopian Minstrel*, Cole tho India Rubber man, lie , bo. Nothing. In fact, Is omitted by Mr. Tryon to deserve the patronage he obtains. Palmo'i Opera House.?The Ravel family had another excellent house last evening, and the entertainment went off as usual, amid burst ot laughter. M. Henry Wells, the elegant danoer, takes his benefit to-night; and produces a very exoellent bill to display the natural and artlstioal graces which he possesses. The perfoamanoeR will begin with the one act pleoe called ''The Secret," performed by Mr. Waloott, Miss Clarke and John Sefton; after whioh will be pantomimed the first act of " La Sylphide,"during which a "Pas de Deux" will be danced bv Mme. Leon Javelli and M. Henry Wells, with solo on violin by Mr. Lamanna. Then will come the tunny pantomime of the "Wood Cutters," in which (Jabriel Ravel takes the charaoterof Jobard. The whole will conclude with the celebrated exercise of the "Bedouin Arabs," by the whole Ravel family, consisting of the ''Pas de Dervis an tambour," "tourbillous," and numerous othsr extraordinary leaps and feats, worthy to be seen by all the admirers of gymnastics. Ne doubt the house will be well attended. Tabernacle.?At the ooncert of Messrs. Hers and Slvori, last evening, there were assembled nearly four thousand persons, of the fashionable Inhabitants of the city, strangers, officers of the steamship Union In grand costume, lio. They bad visited the Tabernacle to hear those two wonderful artists, the greatest musiolans now in the United States. The association of Hers and Slvori is the best idea they have ever had, and every where they go they will attraot crowded houses. The oonsert was the greatest affair of the season, and it will mark the musloal annals of our olty, for they were reoeived with an enthusiasm difficult to be described, notwithstanding the disappointment at the non-appearance of Madame Fleury Jolly, who had been afflicted with hoarseness Every one was satisfied with the announcement, that her place would be filled by the sweet little singer. Miss Julia Northall, and the celebrated Frenoh baritone of New Orleans. Mons Dubreull, who displayed great talent. Miss Northall sang with justness and elegance an English ballad entitled '* Home, dear home," and the fine cavatina from Donizttti'x opera of" Betly," In t/neilo limylict " Monsibur Dubreuil, whose rich voice resounded beautifully in the large hall of the Tabernacle, rendered with grace and expression the oavatlna irom " Maria Padllla," a charming Krenob sopg " L' chant det Mateloti," In which the words ami the melody are of the best style Now for MM tier* and Blvorf. who were reoelved with unbounded applauae.

In three quarters at an hour tbe horn sounded and the competitors came forth, tbe saddles were thrown on, the riders mpunted, und the judges at their post prepaired to give the word. Doswell was the favorite by odds, On starting, all went off well Doswell and Green had it rough, roll and tumble, all the way round, Johnson fol lowing at a respectful distanoe, to avoid, if possible, the mud. Doswell having the heels of Green, held the lead, and won the heat, through mud and water, in 1:57 J?. On the second heat, five to one was freely offered on Doswell against the field, and some few were smart enough to bite at the bait, while the ' knowing ones" r V-. - ....I. tk. ?k... irali, .nt nff luugut my Ml mil J ??v? >u>r. ?u.oo -I}?" 8"" ?> Doswell leading, with Green close up, while Johnson again lagged, for the tint half mile.

Ker the third heat, Doswell and Oreen seemed much wonted, but the young Boston was leady to repeat a dozen times if necessary. After a short cooling, and another false start, all went clear. Johnson in the lead, which he kept to the end o! the mile?making the fourth round in 1:6?.

The National Bank has declared a semi-annual dividend of four per cent. The Boston Courier says that money Is unusually abundant in that elty, it also says, that " the weekly re- I turns of the railway lines continue to exhibit Immense I reoeipU, outstripping, in some instances, the predictions I of tha mnat unviilna frUnila of internal lmnrovoments.

The gain on the Western in the last week was $10,400, and the three past week shows $30,000 increase over the corresponding period of 1846.

As the net Inoome last year was within a fraction of seven per cent, that of the present cannot be far from twelve. The July dividend was four, and if five be paid in January, three per cent, or one hnndred and twenty thousand dollars can be added to the reserved fund, for contingencies But even if the January dividend should be but 4 percent, the premium on the new stook to be created, to whioh the stockholders are entitled, will be equal to an extra dividend, probably of two per oent. A vast amount of capital has been expended on the railroads of Massachusetts, but like seed sown in a fertile soil, it is yielding an abundant reward, not only by the revenue derived from the transportation of merchandise, mails, and passengers, but also by the increase of all kinds of productive business, the enhanoed value of real estate in the city, and the oommon good of the commonwealth."

The position of Austria as a commercial country has not been sufficiently understood, and a very erroneous impression exists relative to the extent of the foreign imports and exports of that nation With an exceedingly limited sea coast, its full extent being only sixty geographical miles, It has an extent of mercantile marine proportlonably greater than that of Oreat Britain.
