THIS DAY, Four o'C7ock. By an arrival at Liverpool we have accounts from the River Plate to the 23rd July. It appears that the United States minister at Buenos Ayres has pro tested against the continuance of the French blockade, as illegal, unjust, and prejudicial to the very objects for the attainment of which it was instituted. The papers now brought throw some light upon the motives of Lord Howden in raising the blockade as far as England was concerned. It would seem that, up to the 15th July, affairs progressed rather favourably, and that, pending a reference to Europe of matters to negotiation, General Oribe was induced by the foreign envoys to grant • suspension of hos tilities. Lord Howden was satisfied with the con duct of Oribe ; but, finding the government at Monte Video would not agree to suspend the war, he at once withdrew the intervention of England, and ordered the commodore to raise the blockade of Buenos Ayres and the neighbouring coasts. This step appears to have been taken without the concurrence of Count Walewski, and to have exasperated a section of the' Monte Videans against his lordship ; so much so, that on the 16th July, as Lord Howden was leaving H.M.S. Raleigh, to proceed to the town, in order to take official leave of the provisional government, a signal was made by Mr. Consul Hood, from the barracks to the ship in these words The French minister and the Monte Videan ministers earnestly entreat the English envoy not to conic on shore, as his life is threatened by the foreigners." Yet, notwithstanding all this, his lordship before he left for the Brazils obtained a guarantee from General Oribe for the persons and property of all Orientals, with the excep tion of General Rivera, who will be permitted to leave the country, with a pension for life ; and that no Buenos Ayres troops will be allowed to enter the town of Monte Video. The latest news from Monte Video is contained in the following ; but it may be observed that the antici pations of an arrangement which it expresses were not fulfilled, as, by last advices, Count It aleweki had reached Rio Janeiro, on his way to Toulon, leaving the French blockade in full force at Buenos Ayres: rinh . 23.—An opinion generally prevails in town this morn ing that we are on the eve of an arrangement one way or the otter. A deputation from the town are going to the Cerrito to-day: we also hear the officers of the French and Italian 1 legionaries are cited to Count Walewski, but for what !nu ,„ft pose did not transpire. We are daily more convinced of the incapacity of the French to carry on this question single-handed; they are taking no steps to make the blockade effectual, on the con trary, two of their vessels of war are expected to leave shortly far France. In the years 1838 and 1840 they had 40 vessels blockading Buenos Ayres alone ; they will require double that number to make it effective on both sides of the river. Neither is there any disposition on the part of the belligerents to commence hostilities, and each say they will not be the first to recommence them. We cannot remain much longer in our present state of in activity and uncertainty ; some decision must be arrived at, and that very soon. Business of all kinds is suspended, the trade hitherto carried on up the river isstopped, and no one is anxious to operate until they see their way more clearly than at present." SECOND EDITION.

MONEY MARKET & CITY Half-past One.—The Conseil market opened this morning at yesterday's closing rate of 85; to 6 for time, since when it has gone lower. The failure of a large West India house, which stopped payment for an immense amount some years ago; and that of a Russian house of equal, or even greater importance and high character, would appear to have ope rated as a fresh shock to the market. Other cases of difficulty are spoken of, and, for the moment, there is little disposition for specu lative movements, unless it be on the part of the " bears." We have no account of the steamer now fast approaching our shores from the United States and Halifax. she will bring much later ad vice, from New York, and they are expected to be of such unusual interest, that the utmost importance is attached to them by anticipation. The Caledonia doubtless be heard of to-morrow, though not made due by the Peet-office till Thursday. Zeo o'Clock.—The fall of the Russian establish ment above noted is ascribed to the ineffective cha racter of the remittances just received by it from India, with which also it was connected, the bulk of them consisting of bills on Messrs. Reid, Irving, & Co, and other of the recently-suspended London firms. Its failure was unlooked for,even by parties most familiar with its circumstances and position. It is is no de gree to be identified with the corn operations, which have led to so much involvement in other quarters. Consols have been done at 854 to but they have since rallied to 85; to for the account, and 851 to 1 for mosey. Nothing is passing in the foreign market. Prices there remain nominal. Three per Cent.

At our country markets during the week, supplies of all kinds of grain continued mall. Old Wheat sold at fully more ZiOuer criers was taken lest week. N ew Barley in very great demand, at is. to 24. per qr. advance ; new Oats were much inquired for, but farmers do not seem inclined to supply the demand at present rites.

At , the end of last week a good deal was done in red and white Cloverseed on speculation at full prices; since then the de mind has fallen off. In Oilcan there is little doing, partly, from want of offers. KONIGSBERG, Sept. IG.—The crop of Potatoes in the neighbourhood is said to have suffered gmatly, and in con sequence Peas have risen in value, and equal to 355. per qr. has lately been paid for good boilers. Wheat has been neg lected, but holders have shown no anxiety to realise, and good high mixed has been held at 471. per qr.

Supplies come to hand vary slowly, our farmers being mostly busy in the fields.

CATTLE, &C.—BASINGSTOKEFAIR—The supply of Sheep and Lambs was rather under that of last year, the number penned being about 4,000. There were several pens of a superior description, but the generality were rather inferior. Sellers insisted on high rates, but the attendance of dealers being limited and feed scarce, the trade ruled dull, many remaining unsold. A pen of Prussian Lambs, recently imported, attracted great attention from their novelty ; the price demanded, 295., could not be reat;zed, and th.y were not sold. The show of Horses and Cows was small, with little business doing. The following prices may be quoted . Ewes, 28s. to 42e. ; wether, 28s. to 38. Lambs, 14s. to 255. per head. COLCHESTER, Sept. 25.—There was rather a limited sup- ply of stock at market, and prices were quite as high as last week, and considerable business wee transacted in the Sheep and Lamb line. The Beast trade was languid, and prices dull. Pigs keep up in value, and ages were brisk. NORWICH, Sept. W.—Our market exhibited a good show of store Cattle, there being a fair attendance of buyers. Trade for fresh Scots and Oxen was a little better, but the middling Beasts remain in the same dull state. Fat Beasts a dull trade, at 86. 6d. to 9s. per stone of 141 b. The pens were well filled. Keeping Sheep a dull sale. Lambs of all kinds from Is. to 2.. per bead lower, without a clearance. In fact the numbers were greater than the demand. Fat Sheep, per atone, Bs. 6d. to 9s. Ewes, of all ages, from Is. to ls.6d. per head lower ; and many lots unsold. SHRorox FAIR (second day), Sept. 27.—A large number of lean stock were for sale, for which trade was very heavy. The large Devon, Hereford, and other Oxen could scarcely sell at any price ' though offered at a considerably lower figure. Some of the moderate-aired, with the best Runts, Welsh, and short-borne, made better prices ; yet they were lower by full 20s. per head than at Barnet (that being the dealers' report). The best Cows, in milk or down calving, sold pretty well at from 141. to 161. each ; in-Calved Heifers at from 121. to 141. each. Some two-year-old Bulls fetched from 101. to 141. each. Ball Calves and yearlings from 51. up to 81. each. Largo Calves, for fattening, from 21. to 41. each; fat, I Is. to 12.1. per score. Of prime riding and driving Nags and Horses a short num ber, but of all inferior animals more than usual ; beg ani mals of this class sold well, while poor and aged hung on hand. Of the heavy and cart kind there were plenty; the best two and three-year-old Colts, fit for heavy work, either in London or among the contractors or agriculturists in the country, found a good sale, at great prices, some going as high as 401. each ; while very moderate animals fetched 201. to 251. Swim:Pox, Sept. 27.—The supply of lean Bouts rather above the avenge number, for which trade was very de pressed, at lower prices. Oood-shaped Alderney and other Cows and Heifers, sold better. Calves went of rather freely. Of lean Hogs and Pigs a great number; trade dull; prices down 21. per head. Fat bacon Hog also lower, by at least 6d. per some, the large not making more than lls. ; very primers, small, lls. 6d. per score. Euotx Sarrixamtbfartiar.—Theshow of cattle, though not large, was, on the whole, tolerable, and among which there was a considerable number of good quality. As was anticipated from the unfavourable report from Falkirk Tryst, the demand was very dull. From no Elgin market for a long time have so many Cattle gone home unsold, There were scarcely any south dealers on the stance, and Meets, out fee winterir2g% were unwilling to give the prices allied, while sellers were equal:3 unwilling toy ield. There were some good Sheep in the market, which met a brisk Bale at good prices. - - - - HARICIL TV! AND Lame FAlL—Though there was a large show of both Cheviot and Leicester Rams, the number on sale was not so great u last year, but there were far more Lambs exposed than on any previous occasion, from 3,000 to 4,000 small or pally Lambs being shown on the first day, in first-class. The best description of both Cheviot and Leicester Rams were in demand, but the middling and inferior Sheep were dull, and a considerable number stood over for the fol lowing day. A. good many were sold; still, owing to the want of rasa, and the overstock in the market, several lots were removed without being sold. On the se cond day there was only a limited show of both Sheep and Lambs, but more than equal to the demand, though Lambs were selling fully better than the previous day. The following may be the general run of prices ; Cheviot Tups of the best description from 61. to 81 ; some particular Sheep a sovereign or two more ; while the ordi nary run brought from 3!. to 41. 101. ; and Inferior Sheep from 30s. to 60s. Leicester Rams, for superior Sheep. 31. to 41. 45., and even some 41. 10a. to 51. ; inferior, from 40s. to 66e. Half. bred small or pally Lambs, best sorts, fetched from 12e. to 141.; inferior from 9s. to lls. ; Cheviot., 71. to 10s. ; inferior, 61. 6d. to 6s. &I. TIER Mum or Quo MARILET.—Fat and hardy quays and stirksjor wintering, were in request, at nearly about last market prices. Lean cattle sold at about 10 per cent. below what they brought then. Many of the Sheep shown were of inferior quality, and the sale was everything but brisk; but the prices were on the advance. Wedders sold from 13s. to 184. There was a good show of white-faced. Owing to the prices asked by the sellers there was compara tively little business transacted. Fo► Yesterdaltio Ma►kets ON last pogo. SHIPPING.

IT used to be generally believed, at least in Eng land, that people understood their own affairs best; and that a commercial community, above all others, was better able than any professional politician or theorist to appreciate its own wants, judge of its own sufferings, and demand or apply the proper remedies. It now, however, seems to have become a rule at state that people know nothing whatever of their own affair,, and that for men in business to make con. plaints, demand relief, or even entertain an opinion as to how grievances and obstructions can best be re moved, is a monstrous instance of arrogance and ab surdity. Some ~.ess has been made in the centralising of ~native functions and power ; but this is farm sertirlibllnfillrfftil centralisation, which is as awned to have taken place, of political wisdom. As to assemblages of bankers knowing anything of bank ing, or a meeting of townspeople being able to throw any light on the distress's or obstructions which affect the peculiar industry of that town, the idea is quite preposterous. Ministers scout the pretension ; and the Voles, which has made itself the government organ in cuffing down every interest or body, not allied with, or dependent on, the administration, makes as merry with it, as one of ASTLEY'S clowns with a new found hoop, through which he leaps, round which he gambols, and which serves as a mere plaything for the display of his agility. Last week some Newcastle merchants and capital ists, alarmed at the probable results to the industry of their town, of the high rate of interest, and the diffi culties in finding the usual amount of credit, betook themselves to the CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER to impress upon him their fears. It was not for them to declare and blazon forth to the world the actual distresses of themselves and of the district. Few men could safely undertake such a public task who were not themselves secure. It would have been es idle for them to come to the minister for an abrogation next session of PEEL'S Banking Bill. 'They evidently pointed to some more immediate and temporary measure, as called for by the distresses of commerce, and especially incumbent on the govern mat. when recent legislation aggravated those dis til/IPM They spoke of the trade of their locality as regular, not speculative, and therefore peculiarly eatitled to a centinuance of the credit on which it existed. They declined making any complaint of the eireduct of the Bank, but hinted how fatal any further curtailment of credit on its part might prove to them. They did not press any particular measure on the Chancellor, but, communicating to him their fears and hopes, they left him. The writers of all grades and classes of theory, currency doctors, paper worshippers, as well as those who seek to find a resting-place between, fell foul of the Newcastle deputation for having varnished over their own distresses, and but delicately pointed out the remedies. They were declared ignorant of the state of their own counters and ledgers, and utterly incomprehensible to the Treasury minister. This is but one of the many instances in which the writers of the press profess themselves unwilling to understand common sense. We will be bound to say, the Chancellor of the Exchequer perfectly understood the Newcastle deputation, and that every man of business in the United Kingdom perfectly understands the motives of their journey and the nature of their demand. Former administrations and quondam chan -• cellors, quite as wise as Sir CHARLES WOOD, fully understood the nature of such communications in the midst of commercial distress. And the names of many of our prime ministers are blessed in the secret gratitude of their hearts by men, now amongst the opulent of the land, who in times such as these bent to the ground and quivered to the breeze, but were upheld by the considerate aid of the govern ment. In 1837, deputations, very similar to that of New castle, waited on the prime minister • and to Lord MELBOURNE'S honour it is recorded, that his replies were not the inexorable ones of fate. His lordship did not philosophically assure complainants that there was no hope for them, and that the ill was of their own causing. The government came forward, and aiding distress through the Bank by placing Ex chequer Bills to a certain amount at its disposal, saved mazy a name to prosper and be grateful, which would otherwise have disappeared in the storm. All is not yet over. Yesterday brought its serious announcements. We cannot comprehend government or its organ looking on such ruin with sang-froid We have heard partisans of Sir ROBEBT PEEL'S banking laws utter congratulations, that, amidst the great houses and names which crumbled, there were no bankers. They were all genClal merchants. We must own that this deepens our regret. :! not so difficult to find the wealth, probity, and intelli- I genie, though all are requisite, and in no small quantity, to found a bank. But a great mercantile firm, such as may trade with the world, is not built up by one man, or in one generation. The founder never finishes that colossal edifice, but must bequeath the task to his children or grandchil dren—so much time, experience, constancy, with such a mass of traditional knowledge, connexion, wealth, character, and credit, as can be only earned and gathered by the good conduct and good fortune of years and of lives, are required to build it up. Par liament has heaped laws, and penalties, and restric tions, and hardships upon the whole community, merely to render secure the credit of the National Bank. To what purpose—if the great body of mer chants and capitalists, whom alone the Bank can re present, are decimated, shaken, and discredited ? Are not government and parliament spending all their in genuity on the preservation of a mere symbol, while they are allowing the very wealth which this symbol is intended to represent, to shrivel up and volatilise into empty vapour ? THE Irilh name under which the Young 'rainier. carry on their politics—has had only partial success in the important city of Cork, where they have established a Desmond Club, called either after the Earls of DESMOND, who made some figure in the history of Ireland, or after the ancient name of South Munster. Last week the con federates held an open meeting, to which, however, a great number of the Old Irelanders thronged, and succeeded in making the greater part of the proceed ings " confusion worse confounded." In fact, the disgraceful scenes of the Irish elections were re newed, and we are sorry to see by the report in the Cork journals that the democracy of that city is very ignorant and ill-behaved. In England, there are few public privileges which we value more than the right to hold public meetings. The press itself would lose half ita ret t i cl, if the people were not permitted to assemble er, and put for ward their sentiments. Our ers may remember what indignation was felt against the chartists when they hired persons for the purpose of disturbing the proceedings of the Anti-Corn-law League, when women and children rattled half-pence in tan canisters for the purpose of drowning the voices of the eloquent assailants of monopoly. By such tyrannical and un social conduct the thartists did their own cause much harm, and turned opinion against them on the suffrage question. Ins similar way, such proceedings as those recorded in the Southern .Reporter of last Tuesday demonstrate the utter Daftness of Ireland for exclu sive political power. The meeting of the Young Inlanders appears to have been very numerously attended, but there were no important accessions to their strength. We may observe that no . protestants took any part in it, and "the beautiful city " is estimated to contain no less than ten thousand of that persuasion, Peasnaling • grmt share of its wealth. It is true that Mr. Barra C'Etaiss attended, bat he cannot be reckoned amongst the Cork Young Inlanders, and Mr. Ymues, the secretary, is a protestant dissenter, without any con siderable influence. Neither were there any of the leading catholic merchants amongst the confederates, with the respectable exception of the chairman, Mr. DENNY LANE. Thus we are safe in co:icluding that in the present state of matters the Young Irelenders have no powerful hold on the active political conunu nity at large. The reception of Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN was very significant. The honourable member would not be listened to by the obstreperous Corkonians, and, after vain attempts to get a fair hearing, was obliged to give up in dudgeon. Had this occurred in England, what a torrent of unworthy charges would be hurled at the Saxon: he would be told that he was not die pwd to listen to Irish grievances, hecausa Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN was voted tiresome. The great O'BRIEN, lineal descendant of the hero of Clontarf, and himself the recent hero of the cellar—the great O'BRIEN not heard in England! But it now appears that the great O'BRIEN is not heard in Ireland. _ This is a matter of taste, and of good taste. Mr. S. O'BRIEN is dull without being profound ; fanati cal, without being impassioned; extravagant, with out eloquence ; and fantastic, without imagination. In his speeches there is nothing to charm or delight. Ito has been now twenty years in public life, and we do believe that such another instance fan unim proving speaker is not to be found. The oratorical success of Mr. MEAGHER was how ever some consolation to the Cork confederates. Ile rose to address the noisy and irritated crowd which had impatiently put aside Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, and vociferously shouted down the secretary. Gifted with considerable nerve, and having the true artistic feeling of a strong desire to succeed, he told his audience that he would stand on the platform for three days, before he would succumb to their clamour ; and his calm and resolute demeanour obtained ready credence for his words. However widely we dieter from Mr. MirAewesds views, we *mild be sorry to disparage the talents of so vigorous a declaimer. He is undoubt edly a man of great oratorical abilities, and his suc cess in brunting the noisy crowd at Cork, and finally rousing both Old and Young Irelanders by his elo quence, was the greatest triumph he has yet obtained. It is with his style as with his politics ; there is some thing to admire, and not a little to condemn. More earnest and serious than Mr. SEIEIL, he resembles that accomplished orator in the force of his language and the vivacity of his active and impassioned fancy. Preaching the politics of the late 'FROMAS DAVIS with enthusiasm, he is considered to imitate the style of GRATTAN with considerable skill. Mr. NIEAGIIER is an academical tribune of cultivated talents, well fitted to be the month-piece of a party, if not to become its master. But he is not a man suited for the masses. He may fence admirably with the polished rapier of a gentleman, but he has scarcely the strength, even if he possessed the inclination, to wield the massive club of a great Irish tribune. His political genius is not of the brawny muscular kind required for the masterdom of such an anomalous and coarse democracy as that of Ireland. It is cer tain, however, that Mr. NIEAGRER will make a very prominent figure in the coming politics of Ireland. The confederates expect, by copying the system of the Anti-Corn-law League, to obtain repeal. They intend to hold meetings, deliver lectures, circulate statistics, and diffuse industrial information. But where are the large reading and thinking classes amongst the Irish catholics ? The middle class in Ireland has no resemblance to the same body in this country. The pamphlets of the Young Irelanders will not be read. If, however, is their efforts to dis seminate their views they succeed in educating tho people, they will have accomplished a great work. Every political party has its direct and indi rect influence. When it often fails in its professed mission, it suceeds in effecting last ing good by its secondary results. Thus in Ire land, O'CoNNELL, in his struggles to gain emancipa tion, did something else beside. He laid a broad basis for public opinion, and taught the Irish to rely on legal combinations. Ile showed them how to use their strength. So with ourselves : in strugiling for parliamentary reform, " the conditioar grEngland question" was started. The Young Irrs, whose fairest side is their respect for literature and the urta, might accomplish a good deal of educational work in Ireland. But those mighty men would, no doubt, scorn any aim so non-political and useful. WE have abstained from all comment on the explo sion of the Cricket during the progress of the inquest, although we have given from day to day full reports of the evidence. Now that it is finished, we have taken time coolly to review the evidence, with the view of extracting from so much calamity the greatest amount of public good. It is easy to express the indignation universally felt against the agents, direct and collateral, through whom, in various de grees of culpability, the calamity has befallen—it is easy to kick the offending member of society, and so side for the time with the feelings of the majority it may be less pleasant, but is more wise, to use the misfortune of the past as the schoolmistress of the future. We have looked over the proceedings of this inquest with the view, mainly, of ascertaining how the recurrence of such danger is to be averted, and how the system of cheap steamers, furnishing as they do an excellent accommodation to the public, and a most valuable boon to the poor, may be extended as widely as possible without the fearful danger to which we have been exposed. First of all, we would ask our readers to soften their indignation by considering that the change of the law for obtaining damages in such cases enables all the sufferers. or their surviving r el, 4 iii re , l / 2 t o re cover Zlch e . etnpelisauon from the propetetxr Is will inflict most heavy penities on them, un. 'happily, it cannot repair the losses of life and health that have been incurred. This is one of the first instances since the change of law that has como prominently before the public. The amendment is a most wise piece of legislation. The due execit tion of this law will inflict heavier penalties on those who peril public safety for hire than any contrivance of inspection that can possibly be devised. Let pro prietors of steam-boats, and omnibuses, and railways be compelled to pay for all the limbs they break and all the lives that are taken by their means, directly or indirectly, and we shall have powerful precautions against danger; for we shall impose the greatest re sponsibility where there is the greatest power of pre vention. It is only the proprietors and managers of boats, who inspect them daily, that can effectually take the means of securing safety ; and they are now to be sufferers pecuniarily in case of accident, as far as practicable, in the proportion to the damage done by their conveyances to the public. . . So much for the state of legislation on the question, which appears to be quite satisfactory up to a certain point. Instead of the old folly of a deodand on the machine, we have provision for the fullest reparation men can give. The coroner and the jury have done their work patiently and well. HENRY HEASMAN, as it appears, did the deed which exploded the Cricket. He, it is believed, tied down the safety-valves, by which the superfluous steam and heat should have passed up the chimney ; and the jury have found a verdict of manslaughter against him, in consequence of which he will have to take his trial like a common felon. CLARK, the superintendent engineer, is declared to be highly culpable, and unfit to hold the situation of engineer, a verdict which will deprive him of employment for the future, and so inflict the severe punishment which always follows loss of charac ter ; such punishment for him is not too severe. Mr. SMITH, as one of the proprietors of the boats, and the chief manager, and the patentee, if not the inventor, of the engine, will have to answer with his property in such suits at law u the verdict of tke Coroner will necessarily bring after it, for damages to sufferers and their survivors. The indignation of the public against the most culpable parties in the catastrophe requires, we should think, no further expiation. That which mainly concerns us and the public is WM this question—Are cheap steam-boats necessarily =as, or likely to be so? Are these boats, the 07, the Ant, and the Bee, on a good principle or en a bad one ? Are the other boats more dangerous or less dangerous? In the first place, then, these boats were high pres sers boats —avowedly SIM • osareo of only in the absence . intelligent insnagentent than with boilers made by Mr. Sl. l and other orient:oo for the locomotive pressure, and if t would probably do But why do they realm except that the highest science redly.
