Tne Crefjent City is safe in New York harbor. These ttiec facts are perhaps as farcical as they are impor¬ tant. Tbey are farcical, because of the repeated threats of the Cuban authorities not to allow the Crescent City to land her mails; and important, be¬ cause the same authorities did not fire into and sick that Eteamer, which many thought they would do. We are to have another scene, however, and then we suppose the alTair will be settled. The Crescent City is to return to Havana, and if Mr. Smith is on board she is not to be allowed to enter that port. After that, nil. But, in connection with the news from Cuba by the Crescent City, there is an interesting piece of intelligence that may be worth mentioning, and which may turn out to be important. It is stated that there were three English war steamers at Havana, "awaiting the result of the Crescent City affair;" but we are informed that thsy were there for an entirely different purpose. We learn that orders hsve lately been received in this country for Admiral Seymour, commanding the British North American fleet, dirsc.ing him to encircle Cuba with mon-cf war. to put a stop to the slave trale; and the three war steamer" were at Havana on that mis¬ sion We give a clue to this movement in another art of this morning's paper, where the report of a meeting, held in Glasgow, relative to tho slave trade treaties, will be found, together with am ar¬ ticle from an English paper intimating the deter¬ mination of that government to insist upon the ful¬ filment of those treaties with Spain. The meeting was held two months ego, but we did not then con¬ fide: the proceedings of so much importance as they have since atsumed by these movements. The slave trade, so far as Brazil is concerned, is rsr-icily dying out, by the exertions of thit govern¬ ment; but with Cuba it is as rapidly increasing. We should not therefore be surprised to have the above statement fully confirmed.

The Beard of Aldermen, last evening, after a funny debate, awarded the contract for the Ninth avenue railroad to Mt-ssrs K'pp & Brown; they also adopted tha ordinance agreeing to pay Buss & Read, for the Russ pavement, one-third on the cost of laying it down, providing the third to be paid by the city does not exceed two dollara and seventeen «ents par square yard. Well, we shall have good pavement and plenty of railroads by aad bye. There are laid deirn in our streets, undor contract, and partially acted upon in the Common Council, the Ifarkni Railroad, to Twenty- s»vtnih street. Sixth Avenue Railroad, to forty-fourth street.

In the Board of Assistant Aldermen, the Broad¬ way railroad question is suspended until the first session of next month. Assistant Alderman Barker, in that Board, last evening, whda and whore the reports were expected to be taken up, male an ob- ject'on to the legality of the meeting, as they had, on the previous occasion, adjourned for a longer period thsn they were legally authorized to do. Consequently, after the reference of a fow petitions, they rose for the term.

The general policy of the new administration may be eonsid«,rt,| ea pretty distinctly foreshadowed in tbe resol j'ions of the Baltimore platform The tnultitix'jtouB details, however, both in regard to our doH3t .dc and foreign affairs, for tho next four years, affo/d a wide and interesting feld for ^culatlon >-B'l here, in several-of its more prominent aspects, We propofe briefly to consider the probable home policy which will be pursued by Gen. Pierce The dutiis of the home administration of the go¬ vernment consist of two great divisions : first, the distribution of " the loaves and fishes and, se¬ condly, tbe system of legislative measures pursued in Congress. In both branches, but especially in regard to the division of the spoils, there is much anxiety and soace alarm ; and thero will be a vast amount of rivalry, contention, wrangling, vexation, and disappointment. There are from twenty to twenty five thousand ofhees, cf all kinds, under the control of the Presi¬ dent, ranging from two and three hundred dollars a year to eight or ten thousand, that are considered worth having Applications will doubtless be made as soon as wanted for every one of these; and for those which range from a thousand a-year and up¬ wards, the prcsturg may be estimated with corta'nty in the exact ratio of tho hungriness of the ur.tcr- rifled democracy. After an absolute fast, or an almost total exclusion even from the droppings of the treasury table, nothing bat a terrific rush can be expected when the table is replenished and he half-famished outsiders are invited to walk in and take their seats according to their tickets. Some bitter enemy of John Randolph, on one occasion, summed up his personal appearance in tho following pointed and graphic couplet:. " The fluid is lean and long, an 1 lank, And mores upon a spindle slwak". which is pretty much at this time, from their hard fast, the physical condition of the invinoiblo demo¬ cracy, never i . completely invinoiblo as with empty stomachs and an abundance of provisions in tho enemy's camp. And this stato of thiDgs justifies no other presumption than this: that when tho camp is captured, the proveuier will be appropriate 1 with¬ out remorse, and as fast as possible There will be a change among the office holders, a prompt beginning, and a steady continuance, until tbe whifcs, particularly those appotn ed under tho no-party administration of Gen. Taylor, and by his successor, Mr Fillmore, are weeded out, as clean as cockle from a field of barley. Coining in as Got). Taylor tiid, under tbe most solemn and religious pledges agtinst proscription, ho stillfouad it utterly impossible to resist the sturdy old maxim of rota¬ tion. He stood against the door in vain; the prer- sure of the outsiders waa too strong for him, they ovtrwhelmod Lim, they cerriod him along; and the doomed 4:Icco focos" then in office, were scented out, and turned adrift, 10 the extent of whole bat¬ talions at a single haul Such having bcoa the practice of an administration elected to " proscribe proscription," what else than a " clean Bwoep" is to be expected of General Pierce, eleotod with special reference to a new division of che puolic plunder, from Alpha to Omega.from tho Collector of the port of New York to the Deputy Postmaster at Kalamazoo. In fact, nothing but a very exten¬ sive change is expeoted by either tho ins or the outs, and were Gen. Pierce never so well disposed to be lenient and merciful, he would be inevitably over¬ ruled by tbe outside pressure of his expectant parti- zans. There must bo a very extensive change among the office holders.there is no help for it. none in tho world. From various reliable sources of information, it also appears that the office seekers are taking time by the forelock, and that, day after day, in letters and personal pilgrimages to Concord, they are lay¬ ing their claims, their services, andtheirnecessbiei, before the President elect in number and varioty almost incredible But we also understand that fcheie unseasonable applications are at least too early by three months, in view of any favorable attention which they may be expected to receive. There is, in act, such a thing as ovenoing the old proverb, "th it he early bird oatcbes the worm and a mi 'siou or a missive in search of an office to Concord now, is less likely to be answered at all, than an application at Washington on the first of April next, or any fine day thereafter We presume, in a word, that Gen Pierce will have nothing to say, and nothing to do, with his minor appointments, until at least he and his cabinet are each and al formally estab¬ lished in their official quarters at the seat of govern¬ ment, and that then tbe claims of every applioant will be canvassed with scrutiny, eo as to guard, as far as possible, in the outset, against the appoint merit of unworthy men. lhe appointment poiicy of Gen. Pierce will un questionably, we should suppose.bc directed.first, to the selection of competent and honest men ; secondly, to the strengthening of the democratic party, and the restoration 01 harmony an >ng the various sections and faciioLS of the party tnrough- out the Union; and, thirdly, to the Selection of in¬ dividuals accoroing to their political claims aul capabilities. But, whatever may be the system of appointment, the democrats are hungry, and the whigs, who have been filling themselves upon the lat things of the treasury for four years, more or less, must walk the plank, and the fatter and sleeker they are the sooner they will be compelled to abdicate Thus much for the office-holders, and ofiire seekers, and the division of the spoils They must be iivided, and all that the public can ask is tbat they shall be d.tbursed with at least ono eye to the sc.'uri'y of the treasury, while the other is kept wido a rake for the good of the party. In regard to the democratic legislative measures ot the new administration, the democratic platform is far more explicit than in respect to the highly important matter of the spoils of fifty millions a year. We hive every reason to believo that Gen Pierce, from every consideration of inclination, prin¬ ciple and duty, will adht.ro to tho party platform. Wo may then very safely predict that the tariff of 1846, which has worked so well, will be per¬ mitted to remain substantially as it is. un¬ less the progres.-ivo doctrines of fro trade should iirpeiioufly demand some mitigation of these duties which operate more to the protection of a few monopolies than the replenishment of the t easury We may tako it for granted that there will be no extravagint appropriations made for rivers and harbors, as the antecedents of Gon. Pierce all have a dtcised leading to a rigid oon- s.ruction of the constitution upon those things. The sub treasury will of oourse remain un¬ touched, the living law of tho laud. The Coapro- uiise measures will be enforced, including particu¬ larly the Fugitive .Slave law. This was the mot prominent issue, and the most important, of the late election. We may expeet, too, the adoption of some general system of reduction and graduation of the prices of the public lands, unless the Senate this winter sheu'.d pass the bills already passed by the House, one for the grant of some 65,000,000 of acres, and tbeir distribution among tho several States, and ono lor the grant of tho entire public domain to actual settlers in small farms. In the event of the jitiesge of this last bill Gen Pieroe will be saved all further trouble in regard to the public lands ; and they will also cease to bo an ob¬ ject for railroad, csnal, plank roa 1, and other stock¬ jobbing operations in the valley of the Mississippi We must wait, upon the land question, the action of the Hecate upon the aforesaid important bills, and especially the Free Farm bill, before anything ¦an be even oorjentured in relation to the poiicy of the new administration upon the land question. To sum u,..we apprehoud that tho appointment po'icy cf Gen. Pierce will be the policy of providing for bis own party house-hold bo the exclusion of the ah gs. " The man that does not provide for his own he net hold is worse than an infidel" But wo con¬ clude that, the work will not begin, bcyood the oabl- net and the diplomatic Oorps, till after the fourth of March next. We suppois, tbat in reference to tb< measurer of the domestic policy of Gen Pierce, My »ii) be ] la-u and s inpie as the Bsl'.imvro plat- form, which limply oovert tho greet principle! of re- trenchment, redaction and free trad*. W« alio ven¬ ture tho prediction, that a paramount objeot ot (Ton. Pierce, in all the meaaurei of his administration, in all the mcaei, and in all the meu, he will provide, or faithfully endeavor to provide, against Gtilphinism or Gardinetifm. The foreign policy of the nev administration covere a broader, more complex and comprehensive field of inquiry, and is of tho very highest import¬ ance, in relation not only.to the progress anl pros¬ perity of our own country, hut to the pea re of the whole civilised world In this view, on an early oc¬ casion we shall take it up for a brief but deliberate examination. Mb Thackeray aio Dkaw SwtFr.Mr. Thack¬ eray, of London Punrh, and author of " A Book on Scobs," and some other works, in hia first leo turn in this country has proved himself as groat a literary snob as any described ia his book. This writer has been vastly overrated on bo:h sides of the Atlantic. Here, since his advent., ho has been outrageously puffed by the press, and like Diokens he will probably be courtei and fawnod upon by all the snobs of every circle. In return, when he ar¬ rives 'n his own country, ho will, we suppose, as the author of "American Netos" did before him, lam¬ poon the character and institutions of the American people, who afforded him their hospitality. He is now " a chiel aiming them takin' notes, an' faith he 11 prent cm " That hi3 descriptions of ths men and manners and politics of our country are not likely to be of a friendly or kindly naturo, seems evident enough from the fact of his virulent whole¬ sale attack en the character of the illustrious Dean Swift, which rcmiuds one of a living donkey kicking at a dead lion, or a dwarf making an onslaught upon a sleeping giant. Wo are not of those who hold that tho dead aro exempt from criticism. Swift himself ripuJiated the Latin maxim : dt mortuu nil nisi bonum." of the dead let nothing be suiu but what !b good". which the witty Dean rendered, " When scoundrels dio let all bemoan 'cm " But we hold that "the departed spin's of the mighty dead," who cannot defend themselves, are entitled to fair play, if net to the most charitable conrtruotion that oan bo put upon their acts. If the dark side of the picture is ireseDted, the bright side ought also to bo put for¬ ward as prominently. If cc#suro is dealt out with an unsparing bao.d, credit ought to be given for what is good, and noble, and bravo. Mr. ThaoLeray seems to possess the faculty of discovering and < 3-yggcrating faults and small vices only, and to bo blind to the grca'virtues of humanity. In Dean Swift's life and character he can discern nothing good. Il this bo Engluh prejudice, beoause Doan Swif*. was born and educated in Ireland, and rooom- mended the Irish people to burn everything that came from England except the coal, it is unworthy of the enlightened liberality of the present day, and far from creditable in a man who comes forward to administer instruction to the publio in a oourso of lectures in this great and free country. Ho would have acted a wiser part if he had altered a lecture originally composed for English audioncos, and adapted it to ths large and comprehensive spirit of the people of the United States, who entertain no prejudice against a man in consequence of the place of his birth, and who cherish a more friendly feeling to the Irish than to any other peoplo in the world To guard against the imputation of national preju¬ dice, Mr. Thackeray pretends that Dean Swift was net an Irishman, but an Englishman all through that hia character was too bad for an Irishman. The inference involved in this blunder is certainly not ve¬ ry complimentary to Mr. Thackeray's own country, the argument being that Dean Swift was a great scoundrel, and therefore could not be a Celt, bat must be a Saxon. It is true that Dean Swift was the eon of English parents; but thin he was burn and brought up in Ireland, and, like the Geraldines, he became "more Irish than the Irish themselves." As well might Mr. Thackeray say that Andrew Jackson was not an American. The lecturer has assailed the public, private, and literary cha-actcr of Swift, and he has taken all his materials from the enemies of the Dean of St Patrick's, whoso overshadowing genius created envy in contemporary writers, and whose stinging satire and fearless exposure of political corruption stirred up swarms #f hornets on every side. Mr. Thackerny has shown himself to be either ex¬ ceedingly superficial or very uucaodid, in this leo- ture. He describes outrageous acts of Dean Swift, but ho forgets to tell the audience tuat thoy are the result of insanity.the mighty intellect of that master-spirit having given way in con¬ sequence of the loss of his Stella. In relation to Swift's connection with that lady, Mr. Thaokeray is equally at fault. Ho says that the Doan treated her and Vanoeta as no women in the same relation had been ever treated before. Either Mr Thacke¬ ray did not take the necessary pains to inform him- self, or being informed he suppressed the fact, that Swift, after bisprivato marriage with Steila, (Miss JobnsoD.) had discovered that she was his half lis ter, both beiDg the natural children of Sir William Temple. Ho was careful that in all his intsr- views with Stella a third party should be pre¬ sent. Ho was deeply devoted to her, but he would not cohabit with her on account of their con- sarguinity, and the discovery of this relationship and her subsequent death drove him mad. As for Vanessa, (Miss Van Homrigh,) he never sustained any other relation to her than that of a wxrm and attached friend, though she had cherished a passion of the strongest kind for him, which, because not gratifiod, resulted in her premifure death, which was lets his fault than his misfortune- Mr. Thackeray hardly ooncedes that Swift was a wit or a humorist at all. The reason probably is, that the gentleman himself wants to build up his own fame for wit upon theruinsof the reputation of the author of the Drapier's Letters But Swift's re¬ nown will endure, and his writings will be read, both in Great Britain and in this country, while such ephemeral writers as this critic shall bo consigned to eternal oblivion. It is rather too late in the day, and especially for such a ahallow littcralrur as Thackeray, to disturb the ashes of Jonathan Swift, or to throw filth upon the monument of his fame. Mr. Thackeray will not admit that Swift was a patriot; and he says tho propositions in the Drapier's Letters were absurd. Since the days of Demosthenes, never was any man so successful as a polkioal writer, and never did any political writings produce such effects as his Hia "Conduct of the Allies," publirhed in 1712, ten days before tho Parliament assembled, is a rcmnrkablo example. "Tho pur¬ pose," says Dr. Johnson, "was to persuade the nation to peace, and never had any writer more success. The people who had been amused with bonfires and triumphal processions, and looked with idolatry on tho General and his friends, who, as they thought, had made Eogland the arbiter of nations, were confounded between shame anl rage, when they lound thai mines had been oxhaustod,' and millions destroyed to scoure tho Dutch, or ag¬ grandize the ompcror, without any advantago to our¬ selves; that we had been bribing our neighbors to fight their own quarrel; and that amongst our enemies we might number our allies. That is now no longer doubted, of which the nation was then first informed that tho war was unnecessarily pro¬ tracted to fill the pockets of Marlborough." Eleven thousand copiesof this "wonder working pamphlet" were sold from November to January, at a time when the English were not a nation of readers. The effect was decisiv e and complete. E pially potent were his Drapier's Letters. Ono Wood, of Wolver¬ hampton, had, by a bribe to the Dutchess of Kendal, obtained a patent authorizing him to coin £180,000, in halfpence and farthings, in the kingdom of Ireland, in which there was at the time an ein- barassitg scarcity of oopp-r ooin, which Wood male still scarcer by purchasing up all he could got hold of The new coin was debased to an enormous de¬ gree, and Swift wrote letters agirins, it, under the signature of " Drupiir " Tho nation was alarmed, and the coin was universally refused. Th) govern¬ ment prose cited the printer, and the L rd Lieu e- B*»t iMued a proclamation offering £300 fjr the disooverj of the author of the fourth letter. hie secret was known only to hie own butler, who faithfully kept it But the piV.lo well knew who tfctir benefactor w»* "Ho was honored," says hie Lirpraj ber, Dr Johnson, " he was hono-ed by tin p0. ui,ce as the champion, patron, and Instructor of Ireland, end gained mob power as, considered both in its extent and duration, asarcely any man hai ever ci.joytd without g'oater wealth or higher bU- tion The llrapier wss a sign, the Drapier was a htahb, and which way soever the eye or the ear was turned, so ne tokens were founl of the na'iob'e gratitude to tho Drapior.

Mr Pit Forhfst prefaced the report, by expressing hi« pleasure and regret.pleasure It eeeirg how mach had been done and regret that to muoh yet remained to be- dene, and that the society could not proceed In a mora rapid ratio than it had hitherto dona. The society was emulating the spirit of th* good Samaritan, in pouring the balsam of truth into ignorance. The benefit* that bad accrued displayed it a strong light bow much might be done by a more general distribution of the Scripture*. The society had been unremitting in its exertions, for many, many ward* ot this cicy had been tended by the agents; and Mr Wat-on extend) d his successful work marl; up to the Haarlem river, and circulated the book ofbotki 5 715 ODl.t applied for the boi.ks half refused to receive it. and many have not been left a Bible. for th* very excellent rea-on that they could not read; 10 414 bibles al'ogether have been olstributtd. at a coat of $2 349. Of families vid'ed in the Sixteenth ward, there were 10 t*2. and 603 in the First ward, and two-thirds of ttave have been supplied the most miserable have not b«tn overlooked and the most loathsome tenement* have been visited, in order tbai the bleated volume might Im¬ part consolation and Knowledge, lb* ptadous book has even teen distributed In bur rooms, gambling- led see. and the volume fcas been presented to the mo t . bondtnid Mr Watsons report contained many char¬ acteristic and pleating sketches of tb* maimer in which the lit ly Hi ok hue deen received by (Jiff-rent people. 8 - hies, circulated years ago are preserved religiously by the i r pot seesois and bear mark* of having been carefully perused. In April last, a nible. which was printed an long ago as 1763. was found in a Herman family. Amongst many Roman Catholics there is still a strong indisposi¬ tion to receive the Bible; but prejudice has in many in¬ stances yielded to the exhortation* of the distributors. IgnciaDce and miseonci-pt.-on are the principal obstacles to tbe circulation ot the Hook. Th* hotel* have been well supplied, and the volume* have remained in good condition 1 205 Bibles have been thu* distributed. Va¬ rious engine, hrse. and Udder companies hare also beet supplied, ana few have rejected the offers of the distri¬ butors The school* hnve reoeived 3 644 volumes, and the tenobers. in many instances, have zealously co ope¬ rated. M. Goddn, too, arv.org the French residents, has bem active in the w rk of dissemination. Among emi¬ grants also, the work of distribution has been compara¬ tively successful In order to show the benefits that am rendered to fore'gnrrs by the society.be might state that every foreign fernily. and Koman Catholic In particular, has been visited and numbers of Bibles have been distri¬ buted, among crews ol ves-tls even as well as smigrants, thus duectly reaching a most needy class, and sending the holy work to all parte of the world, which it might n t O'terwrse reach The marine agent declared that instead of meeting with rilleule. as formerly, there la qul'o an opposite ti t ling manifested amongst sailors. Kv«a in roituguese vest els, the sailors have eagerly purchased Bibles by the di ten. in order to carry th»m to their friends. Amongst the emigiants that have decarted hence fcr Australia, 400 volume- have been distributed, and of the vessels going to San Juan, the captains have mani¬ fested an eagtiniss to purclia-e volumes for distribution there Thus numbers of tbe bible have found ttaeiwwray to the ri mot est parts; and In South American vessels, many to! time* have hi en iMao by the passengers, thus n anmstlng the anxiety of nmnyto posse-u tbe work of God The Japan sx;edition, about to sail ou a mi-sion of peace, has not been neglected; nor has the Swedish brig of war thu*. lately Visited our port. In tbe various hospitals and a ylutns. the pvor invalids Lave received the volume a« a source of consolation. The whole number ot volume* through tut the past year that have passtd through tbe society's hands has lit en 182.339. The gratuitous circulation of the pa*t yterexee-d* any previous one by 10 000 volumes, the ' finances of the society, thirefore, demand attentive and rernest consideration and espfciolly when it is considered tbat the Bibles are sold at 26 cents a copy, and 0 '4 cents for the Te.-tament. The fnmcce* must be increased, in order that the operations may be inoreased. Bet the finances correspond with the efforts proposed, and then those ef¬ forts cun be successfully carried on. In concluilon. this ccmmtttec invoked the blessing of Jod on all belonging to the society After the choir hod sung another anthem, the chair¬ man called on The Kev. Dr. Trwo. who said he felt exceedingly pleessd at the opportunity afforded him of taking part la the proceeding- of the evening and he then went on to show the nscessity that the 1'iotestant community lay under of dlsst initiating by every means, the Word of Hod. and, like Isaac, dig the wells or a brant which the Philistines bad filled up. After giving a very lucid description of the benighted condition of tbe European peoples. ho wound up a fine peroration by giving practical illustra¬ tions of tbe benefits that would accrue U> mankind by tbe circulation of the Bib e lie then concluded by ex- p.essirg his regret at being obliged to depart, and peldA handsome compliment to the Ilev. Dr. Murray, whom ho was sorry ho could not heir that evening. The Chairmen next iDlrosuoed the Rev. Mr. Uavr.iv, who went into the whole ijuest ion of Science r». Scripture, and argned at great length to prove that science wa# daily corroborating instead of contradicting Holy writ, lie contended, then, that with the knowledge of the Bible being tbe book of God every Christian was beholden to spread it as far as possible, and be hoped the meeting wctilrt ptactlcelly display the Interest they took In reli¬ gion by subscribing lib- rally to tho funds of the preeent society , The Ciiairma-i then Intimated that the collection would be made and enter- d into details to show the amount ne¬ cessary for esch Individual to subscribe in order to be¬ come Ufe nu mbers of the New York and the* American Bibb- Bocletles While the collection was being made, the ehoir aung another anthem. The CnaiHM*ft then introduced The Rev.
