Asto going ashore, we were allowed two days to go toLima.

At;o. 30..Charlet Henson vs Henry I). Iaxurns,Ja»t/>h E. Ayres and Samuel Foster..The firm ofNewman A Foster, livery stable keepers, cornerBroome and Mercer streets, was dissolved in June,1841. Newman took the stock and stand, bindinghimself In uav the ileitis of the establishment unit

giving Foster four notes of $80 each, secured by amortgage on the horses, cabs, &c., for his share ofthe concern. In March last, Foster and Ayres (twoot the defendants) on a balance due the former onthe mortgage, and a demand against the firm heldby the other, got out writs against Newman. whichwere served by Mr. Loonns, and three cabs, twohorses, and some harness, taken to the bazaar, andsold. The plaintitf (who was coachman to Mr.Hamilton Wilkes) claims to have bought the propertyof Newman, and exhibited a bill of sale to thateffect for 9300. He brings the present action oftrover to recover the value of the stock levied upon,and the question now is, was the sale to him honnfide, or merely a cover on the part of Newman todefraud his creditors. Henson claims, in addition,to have tendered tne amount due on the mortgage,but that it was refused. It appeared in evidence,that Newman requested several i>ersons during thesale not to hid, as the property belonged to him.The Court charged that the question of fraud mustbe decided by the jury on the testimony that hadbeen presented. In relation to a tender on a mortgage,it was not sufficient that a party representedhimself as having the money, he must reallv produceit in full, with interest, make 11 tender of it, and beable to present evidence that such had been refused,before he could render the mortgage invalid. Thecas- was conducted with much earnestness bycounsel, and a capital jury was on, who, alter a fewminutes absence, rendered avrdict lor defendants.For plaintiff, Messrs \V H. Hall and F. A. Coe.

Adjournment of Congress.The hard-cider, log -cabin, coon skin Congress

adjourns to-day. A more unprofitable, absurd, mischievousbody of men never before was sent uponany couutry as u punishment for its sins and folly.The celebrated Long Parliament in Lngland cannotcompete with the hard-cider Congress in folly,imbecility, and intrigue. They commenced a war

upon the President from the jump, and they haveclosed the past year and a half of their existence inuuer ueieat, anil disruption, nicy nave tuiiru in

all their leading measures, and abandoned everyprinciple of their fuith. In attempting to " head off"

lptain Tyler, they have only headed loff theinjthemselves. After solemnly pronouncing the Presidentun imbecile, a weak man, a traitor, a fool,they have swallowed their own words by wholesale,and have been routed, horse, foot, und dragoons.We have a permanent peace with England, placedon the basis of the new treaty.and a new tariff,without the distribution, in spite of nil their effortsby intrigue to defeat them.Such another Congress never before met in Washington,and such another we will not see in many a

d.iy to come.

Presidential Movemk.nts, Arc..We learn thatt'iptain Tyler will not visit the north this season.

He goes to Virginia on special business. But if theold Captain cannot be witli us, the young Captain,R obert Tyler, will be here in a couple of weeks, tolook after the odds and ends in these parts.We certainly want one of the Captains here, for

*e have six or seven " third parties" here, and we

want to know which is the true one.which has theright hand. First, there is the "Patriots," headedby Col. A. Hamilton und Peter Thompson; second,the "Old Democracy," or old clo' party,headed byNoah, Redwood Fisher and,'Beach; third, the"Young Democracy," headed by Mike Walsh;fourth, "the old Indian Contract party," headed byPanic! Jackson; fifth, the "Hickory DemocraticBepublican Tyler party," headed by Torn Teale andBill Brown. There are besides several others in thebud, rendy to burst in a few days. Which is which ?

Trochi.e in the Democracy.The "young democracy"is producing a prodigious fermentationin this city, in favor ofJohn C. Calhoun.We are told that Mr. Bouck, the candidate for

wtiyi-iuur, in in invur 01 uie i^uroiinian.also uiui

nine out of the thirteen delegate? to the SyracuseConvention are of the same way of thinking. The" old democracy, the friends of Mr Van Buren, areiri a terriole stew. At the fall elections, resolutionsin favor of Calhoun will be passed in every ward inthe city by the " young democracy".and probablya great agitation be knocked up in Tammany flail.The "young democracy" say."we do not wantthe Bourbons restored." "Down with all the oldhankers and old defaulters." " No restoration ofthe old rogues to office."We will have whirlwind limes pretty soon. If

things go as they seem, we shall have to turn to andsupport poor Van out of pure charity.The Legislature .Our legislators in this Stale

appear to be imitating Congress. They have donenothing yet, and we fear that they will not do anything but talk. The Senate meet from day to day,talk about the Brie Railroad, and adjourn. TheAssemblymen talk lor hours about apportioning theSlate, but do nothing. They now propose to uniteTioga with Broome and Chenango, in order to dofeat Mr. John C. Clarke. And Mr. Stetson hasmoved to amend the report of the Select Committeeso that the following districts should be thus composed:.

I t. Washington and Saratoga.18. Essex, Warren and Clinton.17. St. Lawrence and Franklin.

But ns yet nothing definite has been accomplished.Theatricals..The fall season in theatricals is

now begun. The Park - the Chatham . theBowery are all under way.and in a few days theOlympic will also be open.Things theatrical are in a very curious condition,

indeed. On Monday the Park opened, under thenew rttfimt, a reduction of prices equal to nn

average of:*) per cent from the rates of the last haltcentury. What a revolution ! In fact every thingis coming down, prices, pride, salaries, andsalads. The proprielore of the email daily press firstmade the movement, and all must submit to a bettersystem, more enterprise.low rates, and economicalhabits. On the first night the Park had $100 andcleared $150.the second night much the same. Ifthis holds out, the change will be successful. Thereis yet much more expenditure that might be retrenched.onlyprint your advertisements in two orthree papers of the largest circulation. The moneypaid to the Wall street prints is so much threwnaway. This saving would be eiptal to $500 a season.The success of the Park at reduced prices, and

great novelty, will knock tip the Olympic as theChatham has done the Bowery. On Monday nightthe Bowery had #24 124 precisely, while the Chathamwns crowded to suffocation. What a contrastthis presents ! The Park has a capital company.besides expecting several stars from Europe. Weare certain that, in the course of the season, severalsuperior artists will be out, besides a ilansnue ; butwhether it will be Cerito, Duvernav, or Taglioni,we are not authorized to say. There are #50,000ready, in the next ten years, for any fine r/arwruKthat may come. Fanny Klsslcr took $80,000.bu tthat was the cream.

Another resolution fromthe Assenibjy, for opening the business of the sessionto the introduction of a bill to correct a clericalerror in a law passed at the last session, relative toproceedings in Chancery, was concurred in.

The Dlaruaalon by General Bennett aboutJor Smith end the Mormon*.

Last night there was a large assembly at thechurch, corner of Chrishe and Dehtncy streets, to

hear tlcnerul Bennett and Origin Bachelor on theabove subject. The principal part ol the audiencewere ladies, most of them young and exceedinglybeautiful in face and figure. The debate commencedat a quarter past 7, and ended at a quarterpast 10. No one spoke but the above two.

Mr. Bachei.o* role and laid It is by the request ofGen. Bennett that 1 appear here, to take part in exposingthe imposturesof the Mormoui.that dangerous and miserableim|>oailion as dangerous as it possibly can be tothe country and the government. The general opiuiou uthat Mormonum is a humbug, but that it is so Irivilousthat no one will be deceived by it, except a few weakmindedpersons and that it will sojn pass away.If this were all it might be left to the clergy to dis|>oseof. But if we show that Mormomsm is bloody and treasonousagainst the United States Government.a speciesof American Mabomedanism.that seeks to overthrow the

Sovemment of the country and the destruction of all whoo not embrace it, dv the most diabolical means

in the world.if we ahow this, it is worthythe serious attention of all. It has no parallelin the annals of history for its diabolical nature.Whenevera member of their church leave* them they goon ajiu »i«uuci nun or urr in idi! mom awiui manner..They diil so with Uen. Bennett.before he left them he» a sort of God.he was one of tho Trinity pro itm. andso far be was a God.one of the three Gods.ol which JoeSmith was one. And ret they want to hare him assassinatedand exterminated, as they want to exterminate allthat do not embrace Mormonism; and now try to makehim a devil incarnate. Here is a Mormon Book calledthe "Doctrines ai.d Covenants of the Mormons," compiledby Joe Smith, Sydney RjgJon and others, professing tobe full of revelations direct from God. And the Mormonstielieve that hereafter they shall be equal to God andcreate worlds. This book contains an injunotion not tolet it go abroad to the world, or to tell its secrets. (Heread from page 132, paragraph 7.) Vou cant buy thisbook of tne Mormons.they won't let you have itfor love or money unless you become a Mormon..And they do keep it from the world. It is a bookof blood. (He read from page 139, paragraph 11.).This shows that Joe Smith aims to purchase the wholeUnited States as soon as possible, or when the Mormonsgot strong enough they were to shed blood and kill oft allthe people that did not embrace Mormonism. (He alsoread from page 14.'. paragraph ft, and page -J37, about gettingland in the West by blood, and about fortifying thecity of the Mormons, and raising soldiers even in thetime of the peace. He also showed Parley B. Pratt's" Voice of Warning," and read from page 18A and 198, relativeto the building up of a New Jerusalem in the Westernpart of this country, and the whole of the Indiansbecoming Mormons, and every body else to be destroyedby the Indians after they have turned Mormons. He alsoread the proceedings of the Mormons being expelled fromJackson county, in Missouri, in 1833, because they threatI<..11 *Ko .< .1-_ i.I ...

and take their lands and goods under the direction of God.He alto read from a United States document, No. 180, of theJt>th Congress, Id session, relative to the indictment andtrial of Joe Smith in Missouri, for treason, arson, burglary,&.c.-, and from Pratt's pamphlet, page 67, as to how JoeSmith got his guards drunk, aud escaped from Missouri toIllinois.) He went on:.Now they are about to be routedfrom Illinois, unless they give up Joe Smith, who sentRockwell up to assassinate Boggs; their Zion is not in Illinois,but their murderers are there, and UDless they givethem up, they will be cooped up in Nauvoo, and Ann* attogether.This U nited States document contains evidenceenough to suspend forty Joe Smiths between Heaven andKarth, like Mahomet's cottin, if the law was permitted totake its course. I now have the pleasure of introducingto you General Bennett, Major General of the NauvooLegion.On this Gen. Bennett rose, 6miling. and bowed to

the audience, particularly to the ladies, amongwhom there was a great sensation, and shuffling offeet, and changing of position, to get a Bight of oneof the Mormon lions.Or*. Beshktt said,.I discover, in the "Morning Herald"of this day, a military order issued from Nauvoo to

General James Arlington Bennett, and General JamesGordon Beunett, requiring them to appear forthwith atNauvoo, and take part in the coming straggle. (Applauseami arrant lftiiorhtftr \ fHara pftod Ihn wKisl. .«

published yesterday.) To this order General James GordonBennett says, in hit editorial remarks, with a gooddeal of threwdneti, and inimitable tact: "With regard togoing out to Nauvoo immediately, we thall state our viawtshort!)-. In the meantime, vrc shall see, and hear, and re-|iort what reasons General John C. Bennett can advanceto-night in his discourse, that may prevent us from stand,ing by Joe Smith, until, at he gays, blood shall flow." Thusit appears that the learned and talented aid de camp, even, ris prepared to stand by Joe Smith until blood shall flow, <

but no longer,and there he is right; because he has too 4

much sense to aid and abet treason followed up by mur- 1der. But General James Gordon Bennett says that he shall twait and see what we have to say on this subject. Wehave no advice to give that gentleman, and he has talent 1enough to guide him without our assistance. (Greatapplause.) But I woulJ advise General James Gordon .

Bennett and General James Arlington Bennett to lie most 'exceedingly cautious how they go out to Nauvoo and neglecttheir honorable calling to do battle for that arch im- :l>oster, the Mahomet of modem times ! for, although theymay have great talent and skill to lead troops (and thesame description of talent that enables a man successfullyti) conduct a newspaper, will, when properly applied, eii-able him to conduct an army to battle and victory, withthe same success,) I would tell them that I shall be theresay sell in a short time,with a different and much bottertbodvof troops than any that Hit Holiness the Prophet can bringinto the field, and the way that Joe Smith, his troops and jall hit officers would get whipped, would be a caution to 'sinners.(Great laughter.) His Holiness has issued a bull >against me. But before I left him the Mormon Pontiff had Ia special revelation from the Lord that Heaven was well tpleased with me. Whereas, if you were to believe Joe [now, he knew all along that I was the greatest rascal and (most consummate scoundrel on earth. The Mormen \creed it this ; it is a Trinity. Joe Smith represents God. ^

Hiram Smith it the 1st councillor and repraaenta Jesus cChrist ; and Sydney Rigdon, is the 3d councillor and representsthe Holy Ghost ; and when Sydney Rigdon wassick, I was the Holy »Jhost pro tern., anil yet Joe says I wassuch a great rascal. And after I became the Holy Ghost inNauvoo 1 passed into the secret chamber, and saw all thatwas done there, and how the wires were pulled, and tmany things too indelicate to be told to an assembly of la- tdies.

Here he went into a history of the Secret Society tof Danites. |Joe Smith wanted me to come on to New York and get *

a new set of plates for the Book of Mormon. 1 asked him >why. He said the Angel of the Lord had hid up all theold plates, and if we could get a new set made in NewYork, we could say that theAngel of the Lord had revealed Cthem to us, and we could make a good deal oi money out of ,them. (Roars of laughter.)

Here he read a long letter from Gen. Robinson to *General James Arlington Bennett, about Joe §Smith's trying to seduce Nanrv Riedon. Gen. Ho- r

They say now that the Mormoni never get drunk oriwear. Tney nuit have changed mightily. Forit i« notoriousthat Joe Smith used to get beastly drunk (laugh- .

With regard to the secret wife system, I shall make a few |<remarks to-night, and a few more to-morrow night ; buton Friday when there are to be no ladies present, I shallgive some most peculiar, extraordinary and startling state- finents about the secret wife system. You read his attempt ^on the chastity of Miss Brotherton, in the "Herald."Well, he said he only did that to see if things were so and lso. (Laughter.) He told me he was in lavor of ths secretwife system, and should go it strong, (laughter,) and 1.meant to .'carry it out in practice to the fullest extent, j(laughter.) I shall hereafter tell how these wires(alwaysthe best looking and meat pure ones,) were set apart bvthe imposition of hands, and the annointing o( bodies with noil, and the various manouvring and handling they nn- jderwent 011 these occasions. Why, Joe offered me $000 jor same town lots, if I would get him Nancy Rigdon fora secret wife. And when he was confronted with her, hedenied the whole, but when hi* love-letter to her wasshown him, he confessed all but he Mid he oaly wished cto ascertain the truth if she was virtuous or not. and he Dtook that way to prove it. (Roars of laughter, even from j,the ladies.) Now the Congregation of Saints at Nauvoo rhave pronounced Joe to he as pure as snow, but I'll showbv his own love-letter to Nancy Rigdon how pure he was.Here it is : *

[Correspondence of the Herald]Philadelphia, Aug. 30, 1842.

The City and County Conference yesterday, inopposition to the arrogant pretentions set up by themedical profession, nominated as the Democraticcandidate for Coroner, Mr. Francis Brelsford, a

plain but intelligent shoemnkcr. He will doubtlessbe elected, and will no doubt fulfil the duties of hisoffice more correctly, efficiently, and satisfactorily,than they would be if entrusted to nine out of tenof the gentlemen soliciting it on the simple groundthat they hold a "parchment privilege to kill." Aknowledge of the cause of the death of the manysubjects that come under the notice of the Coroner,,is a matter of small consideration in comparisonwith the other and multifarious duties of his office.For the last three years the office has been in thehands of a man of medical professions, and the experienceof those three years has not tended toconfirm the people of the propriety of sanctioningthe policy of proscribing every other class of societyfrom the office, and confining it entirely todoctore without practice.for those who have practicewill not accept of it.Augustus A. Tweeston and John If. Pollock,

were yesterdav afternoon committed by MayorScott, the former in default of $2000, and the latterin default of $30t)l)bail, to answer at the next termof the General Sessions, for uttering, publishing,and passing forged checks on the Farmers' and Mechanics'Bank, to the amount of $179 35 cents.The checks were drawn in the name of a inercantile house of this city, and two of them were paidby the Bank. When, however, a check for $79 35was presented on last Friday, by a young man inTweeston'semploy, the forgery was discovered, theyoung man arrested and brougnt before the Mavorrwhere he gave the name of his employer, a tobacconiston tne wharf. This man stated he had receivedthe check in |>aymentfor a lot of tobacco hehad sold, and he obtained a postponement in order,as he said, to find the individual from whom he hadreceived it. Subsequently, however, he confessedthat he knew of the forgery, in fact that he and Pollockhud joined in its commission.Pollock writingout the check and he passing it offas genuino. Pol-iock was arrested and brought before the Mayoryesterday, and the hearing of both of the culpritsresulted as above statedColonel Staunton, of the " regular army,"reached this city on Saturday, from Washington,and entered on the duties lately performed by CommissaryGeneral Tyson, yesterday. Col. S. is a

man some sixty years of age, belongs to the regularstaff, and we believe was with General Jessup in hisFlorida campaign. It is understood that the Colonelwill not interfere with the present arrangements ofthe office, nor with the subordinates who perform itsminor duties.The father and brother of young Alexander, the
