The Nureaurgh Correspondent, in an article from the Lower li .ine, speaks of the manufacturing interests in that quarter as still suffering from the shock which it sustained during the late fatal epoch, and assigns, as a principal source of the distress under which many toss ns in that district are at present suffering, as origi nating in the failure of demand from South America, on which the manufacturers had calculated so much, but which calculations had been all overturned by the tiealing out of hostilities between Buenos Ayres and Brazil, which had caused the failure of several specela tions to the former country. One branch of manufac ture, however, that of leather, is described as being extremely brisk, the dealers anticipating a more than instal demand at the approaching Frankfort and Leipsic fairs, calculating on the increased consumption which the continuation of extremely hot weather during the summer must have produced, it being an established fact, that great drought and beat are even snore destruc tive to leather than wet. The Supplement to the Presbura e Genetic gives an account of the discovery of a stream of natural gas, which has been discovered in a salt mine in Hungary, which, issuing from the rock, has been collected into pipes, and conveyed to various parts of the mine, which has been lighted for several months sy it, and the supply from this natural gasometer still continues undiminished. These Papers also contain an article from Frienwalde, in Pomerania, detailing the particulars of a shocking crime committed there by the wife of a shoemaker named Gontlieb, who on the 26th of June last, deliberately murdered her four children, the eldest a boy of seven years old. The reason assigned by the wretched woman for the commission of this horrid crime is, that during her pregnancies, she had committed several' petty thefts, and being persuaded that the wicked propensities indulged in by the parents would be inherited by their children, she had destroyed her innocent infants to prevent their growing up thieves. FUNERAL OF JEFFERSON. NEW YORK, Jinx 19. YltOM THE fIICHUOWD ItNQUIRSR, JULY 14. The proceedings of Tuesday last furnished the strongest tribute which could have been offered to the memory of illustrious Jefferson. The soldiers of the Revolution, the Ministers of Religion, the Officers of the Federal and State Governments, citizens, military, and soldiers, the teachers and their pupils; all descrip tions of people, united in 4 , doing honour to the man who had filled up the measure of his country's honour." The exhibition was the spontaneous offering of a free people to their distinguished benefactor. fotwithstanding the shortness of the period which hail been allotted for the exhibition, all the arrange ments were complete. The Orator, and the Ministers of Religion were prepared for their various exercises; and the awnings which had been commenced on the Capitol Square on Monday morning only, was com pleted by ten o'clock on Tuesday. A canvass covering had been spread over the large Lafayette arch to the east of the Capitol, and wings thrown off to the right and left, and in front, sufficient to accommodate an im mense multitude. In the tear of the arch a light plat form was erected, canopied with crape, for the recep tion of the Orator, and the Ministers of religion. The day was uncommonly pleasant. At half after ten o'clock, the procession began to move from the Henrico Court House, according to the order which bad been published by the Committee of Arrangements. A detachment of the Light Infantry Blues with music; then the Members of the Emotive Council; Ministers of Religion; the (oldie V of the Revolution • the Officers of Government ; Judges and been of the Federal and State Judiciaries; Committee of Arrangement; Municipal Authorities of the City; Justices of Hen rico County ; Debating Societies • Teachers with their Schools; Otisens, Strangers, and Uniform Companies. The lengthened procession, lour deep, extended from the Union Hotel to the United States Bank. The whole march through the different streets which had been de signated was conducted with the utmost pcssible order. A few minutes before 12 o'clock, the precession entered at the Eestein Gate of the Capitol Square. At this point of time the scene was exquisitely beautiful and impressive. It pleated the eye of taste, whilst it delighted the soul of the patriot. The whole area under the awning was filled by a numerous assemblage of Ladies and Gentlemen. The military, and many citizens who were unable to obtain seats, were stationed around. All was order, and a solemn silence reigned through an assembly estimated to contain at least 5,000 persons. The exercises were commenced with music : Bishop Moore, of the Episcopal Church, then put up prayer. Alter another strain of solemn music, Mr. Tyler, the Governor of the Commons' ealth, arose and delivered un eloquent address. As soon as the orator had concluded, the band struck to? a fine dirge, after which the Rev. Mr. Kerr, of the baptist Church, closed the exercises with prayer. The whole scene was of too impressive a character es er to be forgotten. It was worthy of the great and good man whose loss it was intended to commemorate. Iklinutc guns were fired for one honr in the morning, and one hour in the evening; and the State-house and Penitentiary bells were tolled through the whole day. The whole of the body of Ktlnsea Church fell down the cliff on Tuesday, the Ist inst.lsaving nothing but a part of the sterpie standing. Srrvice bad been perforated in it on the preceding Sun da I'sckct. THE IVENiNG STA LONDON. -....- FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 1526. STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Consols opened this morning at the same price they have been for several days past, 781 if for the Account, and 781 buyers for October, .and continue at the above prices, without the least speculation. In the Foreign market, Mexican Bonds keep improving, but Colombian remain stationary. The rise in Mexican Securities is attributed to there being great bars in that Stock.

The Commissioners bought in Reduced at 793. The Foreign market has been in a great state of bustle, caused by a letter having been received from Mexico, stating that twelve hundred thousand dollars were shipping on the coast,supposed to be for the Mexican dividends.

Accounts from the Brazils to the 15th of June state, that on the Ist of that month, the French frigate Seine arrived at Rio, having on board Baton de CHAIROL, beater of the treaty concluded with his CATHOLIC MAJzsre and the EMPEROR, which wa# expected would be ratified in a few days. A German Mail, with accounts from St. Petersborgh to the Bth, and Brussels to the £2d instant, reached us this morning. The following are extracts: BRUSSELS, Amuse 19. A recent letter from Smyrna announces that the Ottoman Porte refuses to pay the sum due to Euro peans by the Greek merchants who have fled from that city, and whose property it has caused to be sequestrated and sold, though it has produced a sum much exceed ing the amount of the debts. The Porte bad at first recognized the justice of those claims, in which houses in France, and many countries of Europe, are more or less interested ; bit after having for years eluded the I I just claims of the creditors, it now, in spite of the re- Imonstrances ef the Ambassadors, raises vain objections, which are equivalent to a formal refusal. 20th.—Letters of 19th of June have been received from Curacoa. Many persons who have come from • ent parts of the Terra Firma, assert that profound tranquillity everywhere prevails. All the southern dis tricts, as Varennes, the Valley of Apure, !cc. had ac' knowledged General Paez, as civil and military chief of the Republic of Venezuela, and had sent deputies to Valencia to compliment him. The municipalities of several towns had received orders from him to send deputies to the Congress, to be opened at Valencia, the 10th June. The general opinion was, that if the Con gress of Santa Fe should send troops against Venezuela, they would be sacrificed gratuitously, on account of the superiority of the troops of Paez, and their attach ment to him. No news had been received from the eastern district, Cumana, &c. but Burmudez, who commands, was sup posed t• be averse to this new revolution—his force is too weak to support his opposition; nor had any news been received frdm Maracaibo, but as that town belonged to the old province (Capitanit), no doubt was entertained of its joining Venezuela. 22d.—In the course of April last, was published at Paramaibo, the Royal Decree of 4411 January, con taining further regulations for keeping the register of slaves in that province, and tending to check the slave trade. Besides the registry of the slavei, nctice is to be taken in the registers of every change that takes place among them, whether by death, or by the change of the proprietors. It was generally believed in the colony, that these measures will not only attain the end which his Majesty had in view, but will also put an end to a number of evil practices in use among the poorer classes, by means of simulated sales cr pretended alienation of slaves. We have not only hors that a concordat between his MAje,sty and the Pope will be concluded this year, butt ' also that we shall soon hare an Apostolic Nuncio, Who will reside al Brusseli. ST. PETERSBURG% Amid,. The following is the translation of a rescript, dated June 5, to Privy Counsellor Toutobmine, which his just been ptiblished in the Gazette of the Senate:— " The late Empress Elizabeth, our beloved sister-in-law; ibtended to employ 300,000 rubles of her revenues for the relief of the widows and orphans of civil Officers, who, according to the etisting laws; are not entitled by the services of their husbands or fathers to pen sions, or other relief from the Government, and whom their pttivrty might render worthy of compassion. Desiring to fulfil this intention of her Majesty, we have ordered the Department of Appanages to pay you the sum of 300,000 rubles. which shall form a capital, the interest of which shall be employed conformably to the desire of the late Empress. You will therefore draw up a plan on this subject. which you will lay before us for our approbation. (Signed) NICHOLAS." On the 13th April, at half-past three in the afternoon, a smart shock of an earthquake was felt at Eliabeth- Pol, which continued twenty minutes, and was accom• panied by a subterraneous detonation. Happily no accident occurred. Their Imperial Highnesses the young Grand Duke ALEXANDER and the Grand Duchesses MARIA and OLGA, with the Empress MOTHER, who went to meet them, arrived at Moscow on the 50th July, amidst the acclamations of the people. We have received Lima Gazettes to the 15th of May, and the first number of a Newspaper, entitled Li Peruano. In our preceding columns we have given extracts. The Meeting of Congress was attended with some confusion. A considerable number of the new Members refesed to take Oath to the Constitution under its present form. A large proportion, about fifty,' signed a Memorial to the Liberator BOLIVAR, request ing that he would continue to retain his present autho rity in Peru for another year. BOLIVAR has acceded to their wishes ; observing, that the welfare of all the South American States was connected so closely, that he would remain the period they requested, for the pur pose of fixing the form of Government on a firm basis ; although he expressed his desire and anxiety to return to Colombia, his native country. His wishes on this subject will be much increased, when he hears of the events which have taken place in Valencia, and the de fection of General Pautz. He has behaved with kind ness to the Royalists. The messengers from Pees and MONTILLA would probably reach him about the end of May. We have received Washington and Boston Papers to the 21st ult. and Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York to the 22d. Mr. VAUGHAN, the English Minister, had left Washington on a tour to the falls of Niagara. The National Intelligencer contains some further ac counts of the stoppages of various Banks in the United States. It is stated that Commodore PORTIR has posi tively determined to accept a high command in the Mexican Navy. Hr is to receive the appointment of Commissioner of the Navy, in which office he will have the sole and exclusive power in governing the Naval establishment. The Baltimore Patriot of July 21, however, discredits this information, and expresses its opinion that Commodore PORTER will return to his native country. The Baltimore Chronicle, of July 22d, contains a decree of the Mexican Government, speci fying the conditions upon which foreigners may be allowed to reside within the territories of the Republic. The following are extracts : FROM TIM BALTIMORE PATRIOT OP JULY 21. In addition to the opinion expressed in the extract of a letter from Vez a Cruz, which we published yesterday, we observed it stated, in the Baltimore Patriot, that Commodore Porter had been appointed Commander in Chief of the Mexican Navy. We have now the best grounds for believing, having seen letters from the Commodore himself as late as the 21st of June, that this information is premature ; the most splendid offers have been made to the Commodore, not only by the Mexican but by the Colombian Government, but he has thus far given no decisive reply, and we think it not at all improbable that the Commodore will return to his native country. FROM THE NATIONAL JOURNAL. The General Congress of the United Provinces of Rio de la Plata have lately declared the city of Buenos Ayres, together with a small district immediately round it, the capital of the nation. This measure caused great uneasi ness, and gave rise to strong opposition in that city, as it was imprudently adopted without the previous sanc tion of the Provincial Legislature, the dissolution of whieh body was involved therein. The newly-elected Resident of the Republic, Rivadavia, and his Minibter, Aguero, were sufficiently popular in the House to carry the plan through with a considerable majority. EROS! THE MONTREAL PAPERS, JULY 20. ST. JOHN'S, Juxr 2S. By the arrival of the steamboat from Frederictown, great fears were entertained that another alarming fire would take place in that town, the woods in that ♦i cinity being all on fire, and the wind blowing directly on that town. We refer our Readers to an affecting recital in another column. There is so much real English feeling in its composition—honest and unadorned—se much of good intention, and such a desire to if be honest in the worst of times," that it will find an echo in the hearts of all who read it. Ere this, the writer is in possession of dm information which he sought, by the publication of the Report on Emigration—a measure which, if fairly acted upon, is calculated to raise the drooping spirits, and brighten the prospects of thousands of our deserving fellow -creatures, who would gladly prefer even expatriation to pauperism. Despatches were recited yesterday at the Foreign O&cc from Lo:d GRAvyntz, our ntr.busatior at Vans. DUBLIN, T;r:csr 22. Donnybrook Fair commenced yesterday, an! will, in consequence of a judicious regulation of the Lord Mayor to prevent the Sabbath being piotaned, terminate ou Saturday, which is the fair day. The attendance yes. terday was very thin, all the tair•guing dam els, and larking youths, being taken by surpti.e, at the sudden intimation of the Lord Mayor's orders. There are not above a score of tents erected, and Dame-street is bald) , existing, ssith its honours faded, and its regularity on the wane. Of shows and amusements the number is also considerably curtailed, and in fact all the jinglemen are expressing their doleful lamentations on their empty potkets, and the fallen gloi ies of Donny brook Fair. Palmer:town Fair likewise commenced yesterday, it being the regular fair day, which has also tended to diminish the •isits of the vttaries of fun and frolic re. sorting to Donnybrook. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. PARTY. Arthur StanhOpe, Esq. entertained a dittiaguished party to Cc ear yesterday, at ha *ilia at Erempten. MOYEM E!JTS.

THE ROTHSCHILD& —. PARIS, Ahem 11: About eighteen months ago Baron James Rothschild married ha own niece, the daughter of his brother, Solomon Rothschild; the latter generally resides at Vienna, but at present is in Paris. All the brothers will set out in a few days for London. These opulent ban kers appear determined to manage matters in such a way that their immense riches , shall nut go out of the. family. Another marriage between the children of two of the brothers will be celebrated in the course of a fortnight in London. The future bridegroom is the young Baran A. S. Rothschild, the son of Solomon Roths. child • the bride is the eldest daughter of N. M. Rothschild, of L ondon. The Lady is nineteen years of age, extremely beautiful, and highly accomplished; she speaks French, Ger ,man, and Italian, with the fluency of a native. After the nuptial ceremony is performed, the ruing couple will proceed to Paris, where a magnificent hotel in the Rue d'Artois is already prepared for their reception. Several splendid fetes are to be given by the family on the happy occasion. Mr. Rothschild still continues to interest himself in favour of the unfortunate family of Reymond, the clerk who robbed him of 60,0001. and who was sentenced at the last Assizes to eight years' confinement, and to be put in the pillory. The great influence Mr. Rothschild possesses with the Ministers will enable him, most probably, to obtain a commutation of the punishment. Bills to the amount of SOO!. were found in Reymond's desk after he absconded ; they have been given up to his wife, and she Will be able to recover the amount. DUELS. Early on the morning of Thursday last, a meeting took place at Rath, near Tralee t between Robert Conway Hickson, of Fcrtuoyle, Esq. and Biennethassett Thompson, of that town, when, after an exchange of one shot each, their friends interfered, (viz. Edward Collis, Esq. on the part of Mr. Hickson, and Augustus Warren, Esq. on the part of Mr. Thompson), an d affair terminated to the satisfaction of all parties. Monday morning, John Heley and John English, Esqrs. both c,f Cappequin, fought a duel at Curriglass, in the county of Waterford. the former attended by Lowry Denny, Esq. R.N. and the latter by Waters, Esq. of Dungarean. Mr. English fired first, and missed; after which Mr. Heley discharged his pistol in the air.-- The seconds then Interfered, when the panics left the ground. A respectable mercantile house in the City has re turned a bill protected of 4,0001. drawn ,by the Mexican Govern ment, which was not honoured. The refractory hatters of Dublin, who turned out for English currency, have turned it again, finding the change one (loth " bad to worse. A clerk to Mr.Gaffney, of Dublin, named ClDonolioe. has been committed for trial; charged with forgery on the Royal Irish Insurance Company. The fashionable world are now amused with the ac count of a fresh excursion to-Gretna, where the parties were a long time delayed for want of the means to satisfy the demands of the rapacious blacksmith, which are said to have amounted to 1001. A house in West-street, Chiclietter, was hired for the purpose of establishing a gaming -table; but the populace learning the intention, soon besieged the place, shattered the doors and windows, threatening with vengeance the unfuttunate black-legs, who escaped over a wall which separates the prentkes from the cathedral yard. The body of a Gentleman was washed on shore on Sunday at Dalkey, immediately under the mine. The body has since been ascertained to be that of Mr. Brennan, who was lest some weeks ago in company with Air. Long, off Bray-head. The new building now erecting for the residence of his Royal llighness the Duke of CLARINCI, in the King's Palace. St. James's, is in a forward state. The front is to be covered with cement—it has already been commenced. There are three tiers of nine windows each extending along the front side. A balcony wilt be erected along the windows of the first floor. The entrance will be exactly in the centre of the building under a portico, sustained by sit columns of the Doric order, to the height of the first flour, and sic lonic columns above. It will be surmounted by a balustrade, tend that part of the attic story which will be above the portico will be ornamented by pilasters. The portico will extend over the pave ment, but will leave a free passage to the public under it. The lower part of the building will be rusticated in the French style.
