Last night we received Hamburgh Papers to the 12th inst. from which we have given extracts in another column. It appears that the contract for the purchase of the Swe dish vessels of war has been annulled at the instance of Messra. BARCI AY, lizaaisro, and Co., on account of the delays that have taken place, reserving to themselves the right of repurchasing the vessels next spring, on the same terms. The Swedish Government accordingly or dered the money to be repaid, and the convectors to be reimbursed all their expenses. The Editor of the Stockholm Paper, the Argus, has been acquitted of the c h arge ar i s i ng f r om hi s c omments on the interference of the Spanish Charge d'.lfraires relative to this transaction. We have received Papers from New York to the 25th ult., and from Boston to the 24th. They add nothing to our intelligence from any part of America.. The citizens of New York were busy with the preparations for the cere mony of opening the canal from Lake Erie. The pro gramme of the procession occupies a whole column of the Daily AdvetViscr. The following paragraph, descriptive of one of the intended solemnities, will make our readers smile : Dr. Mitchell having obtained the pore waters of the Elbe, the sacred waters of the Ganges, the overilowings of the Nile, the waters of the Amazon, the Orinoco. the La Plata, of Colombia River, of the Thames, the Seine, the Neva, the Tag.ta, and Irom every quarter of the globe, will Unite those waives with the ocean, as an emblem of our commercial intercourse with all parts of the world. The PrESIDENT was on his return to the seat of Go vernment. On passing through New York the Corpora tion waited upon him, and in the evening be visited the theatre. The account of his reception partakes more of regal form than we had expected from the calculating Re publicans of North America : The building was brilliantly illuminated, and it having been previously announced that he intended being present, a fashionable and crowded audience was collected to greet him. On his entrance . into the box, which was decorated with American flags, the whole audience arose, and with unanimous acclamations expressed'their happiness at beholding him, the band at the same lime strikisg up the inspiring air of " Bail, Coloesbitt." _ _ . Notice was publicly given at Washington on the 14th of October, by the Secretary of the Treasury, that sealed pro posal: would be received, until the 21st of November in clusive, " for lending to the United States the sum of 10,400,000 dollars." Each proposal will state the sum which the party making it is willing to give for 100 dollars of the 4i per cent. stock, one half being repayable at any time after the close of the year 18211, and the other half after the close of the year following. NEW YOEI, Oct. 24. COTTON—The Petersburg Intelligences of the 18th instant' remarks, " Cotton is now brought in at the rate of about 150 bales per day. Our streets are crowded with almost every description of vehicle, full loaded. This great influx, the northern demand be ing in a measure . satisfied, added to the recent discouraging advice, from Europe, have combined to depress prices, and yesterday sales were making at 11 to 14j cents."

There is perhaps no science that has of late made greater advances, or that has been pursued with a more disinter ested wish to promote the permanent interests ,s4,•the country, than the science of political economy. au unanswerable proof of the enlightened disposition of those Ministers who take a lead in all which relates to the great concerns of commerce, that they seem most anxiously in clined to give effect to those principles which the most ap proved writers on this important science have recently in troduced. We are very far from undervaluing the labours of thii Political Economists ; the faults and absurdities of the old system were, many of them, great and manifest, and immense advantages have been gained to truth and rcasou by exploding them. The names of Bream)°, Minis., To oa e, MAL - rues, and others engaged in the same laudable line of research, have opened a new mine of infor mation on this subject, by which our statesmen may profit to the end of time. But with all our respect—and it is most sincere—for these distinguished writers; and estimating— as we do most highly—the sound mind and solid information which they display, we cannot help thinking that Great Bri tain is not exactly in a condition to profit by their labours. The principles which they lay down may be true beyond all refutation ; but they may, nevertheless, not be applica ble to the commerce of Great Britain, relatively to that of her continental neighbours, and burdened as her manu factures are with duties growing out of an immense iv !tional debt, and subjected to revenue regulations in every part of their progress. Nothing, for example, can be more true in theory than that a people ought not to be obliged to eat, drink, or wear any article produced at home, pro vided such article can be obtained cheaper from abroad ; but if our statesmen were to make laws upon this principle, they would be found utterly at war with every rule of sound policy, and with every principle of substantial jus tice. It will not do to legislate from books. Systems which sound well upon paper may make sad havock if acted upon without reference to the actual state of things to which— and to which alone—they apply. It is positively danger ous for a philosopher to intermeddle with the Wealth of Nations. It grows out of causes so complex—it is so in terwoven with the interests of the revenue—of the agri culturist—of the manufacturer—of the merchant--of the trdsan—of the stockholder—it is so bound up with na tional and individual industry—that a legislator —even the wisest—is in the cohdition of a blind man, mid feels that to be safe must try every step of his way. We shall illustrate our opinions on this subject more fully when we come to dis cuss the silk question, and thatmost important of all sub jects, the Corn Laws. In the mean time, we freely confess that in our opinion to touch either is to tamper with the springs of our national prosperity. They must have shut their eyes .to the lessons of political history, who have not learned that the real causes of a nation's decline may be often traced to the measures intended most for her benefit, and that this again proceeds from a fact to which Political Economists do not sufficientljf advert, that when the rela tive situation of a country is changed, Me same causes do not always produce the same ripe*. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The British Funds gave way materially in price this morning, and • general gloom pervaded the Stock Ex changes—a gloom that was excessive even in these times of panic. The market for Consols opened for this account at 654 6, but it soon retrograded to 851, and d was afterwards the quotation, Cie market having a very heavy appearance. Bargains for the January account commenced at 86/1, hat , they were subsequently done at 8.5i1e l'he transactions were very large, and the opinion generally was, that some extensive sales had been effected by the Bulls, in order to save some part of their losses, for certain it is that there are no political circumstances to explain or acelannt for the de pression. Exchequer Bills were Is. Ys. premiums We have only to observe regarding the Foreign Market, that the panic in it hitherto has been comparatively trifling I "ftwori m ," o ._ Velibashitisi r THE BRITISH PRESS. to what it was this morning, and the list of prices will bear us out in this assertion much better than any disserta tion we catrwrite. The business was exceedingly heavy, particularly in South American Securities, and the rciult was a moat extraordinary decline, unlooked for even by the most desponding. Colombian Bonds were at 631, sellers. Mexican Scrip 16 134 dib. Guatemala ditto 76i dis. Brazilian ditto 14 13 ills. Old Spanish Bonds 13 13 4 1. Greek ditto 22 ; and Danish ditto 63 4. These quotations need no comment. It was natural to expect that the over excitement of last winter would occasion a great fall in prices; but we confess, though we viewed the mania for speculation which then prevailed with alarm, and did all in our power to check and control it, we were by no means prepared to witness the present ruinous coun teraction. Notwithstanding this deplorable state of things, money is by no means scarce, and can be candy borrowed on the Stock Exchanges, and amongst bankers, for short periods, at 3 percent. The Sugar market was extremely flat, and the prices rather gave way. Coffee and Rum were steady. The prices and the supply of Oats and Wheat in Mark lane to-day were about the same as on the last market day. Barley was brought in rather freely, in consequence of the certainty of the ports opening for that grain. A letter from Dover notices the sudden departvre of three boats, with expresses for Paris, annourreing the fall in our funds. A quantity of silver, to the amount of 1,000 bars, consigned to Mr. Rothschild, had been lauded and sent off for London. We understand that the Austrian Ambassador called on Mr. Hurtado on Sunday last, to congratulate him on his presentation as Colombian Ministet.—Evening Paper. The National Intelligencer some time since declared that Commodore Porter had been invited by the Mexican Go vernment to accept a command in its navy, and also by the Colombian Government. So far as the statement concerned the Colombian Government, we were authorised to contra dict it. The assertion that the Mexican Government is willing to have his services is reiterated, and is, in all pro bability, correct.—Philadelphia Gatelte. The accounts of a large vessel, supposed to he an East Indianian, having been wrecked in Table Bay, are believed to be incorrect, as a letter has been received from a mercan tile house in Simon's Bay, dated Sept. 5, which dues not advert to any such event. It is understood that Government intend removing the Bellerophon hulk from Sheerness to Chatham. This ship is appropriated exclusively to the reception of boys under sen tence of transportation, who do not work in the dock-yard, but are taught various trades, under proper masters, on board the ship.—Kentish Cazelle. The brig Harmony left the port of Greenock on the 9th inst. with about luo passengers on board, f.ir the British settlement formed on the lands of Cie Rio de la Plata Agri cultural Association. A meeting of farmers WAS held last week at Norwich, for the purpose of re-establishing an Agricultural Association in that county, to protect the landed interest against the threatened repeal of the Corn Laws. The London mail, we understand, will in a short time arrive here about seven o'clock ; and that the letters will be delivered the same evening. Some alterations in the other mails are also in contemplation, but of them we cannot at present speak with certainty.—Liverpool Ad vertiser. FINLAVSON'S SELF-CLEANING lIARROW.—" We have already seen potatoe, turnip, and bean lands preparatory the sowing of wheat, manured, limed, composted, and com pletely pulverised and freed of root-weeds without the use of the plough. For this latter purpose the country is in debted to Finlayson's harrow, winch is in possession of some of the most eminent agriculturists. East Lothian had the merit of being the first county that adopted the thrashing machine, and it promises to be the first in adopt ing the harrow. This batter implement is truly invaluable, and it must, like the thrashing machine, he in possession of all thoae who thoroughly understand and successfully practise agriculture.—Erlinhurch Star, Nov. 11. ATTEMPT ♦T ASSASSINATION.—The commune of Pasty, near Paris, was last Friday the scene of a most shocking attempt. M. Emanuel de las Casas, son of the Count de Las Casas, received two stabs there in the night from same double-edged weapon. One was aimed at the beast, and he only escaped by a particular protection of Pro vidence; the weapon pierced a pocket-book, and was only stopped by a bundle of visiting cards, several of which were also pierced through. The second blow occasion ed a serious wound in the right thigh, but which is not, however, apprehended to be dangerous. M. Ema nuel de Las Cams was going from his father's honse at half•past eight o'clock. He had that day dined with his father, and was returning to Paris. He had hardly advanced two hundred paces, when, at the corner of a detached street that communicated with the fields, he was suddenly assailed by two villains. He knocked one down, and was overtaking the other, who had taken flight, when the bad condition of the road caused him to fall down, which gave the murderers an opportunity of escsp ing. The police have been made acquainted with the af fair, and are in pursuit of the offenders. M. de las Casas, not having any enemies, thinks that he was attacked through a mistake.—Journal des Dehols. Gross FADRICATION.—The following story, which we extract from a Dutch Paper received yesterday, rivals the best of its kind that ever travelled across the Atlantic, and would, as the Americans say, be wonderful indeed " it' true." l're recognise it, however, at once as a new version of a very old tale, which owes its origin to the veracious Baron Munchausen, who in nearly the same terms relates his own eac4e from the jaws of death. The Dutch Editor, however, gravely asserts, that he can "answer for the authenticity" of the story, and states, that the scene of the " extraordinary contest" was Bantam, in the East Indies :—" Aeman fishing on the banks of the river Tyeli man heard something splash in the water, and perceived a tiger at no great distance, swimming from the other side of the river. The fisherman thought he should best provide for his safety by climbing a high tree, and bad scarcely ef fected this when the tiger reaching a tree that hung over, at tempted to get upon it. At that moment an alligator of the largest Cap darted out of the water, seized the tiger, and dragged him back. This gave the fisherman courage to look at this strange sight, and be witness of a combat be tween the two most, rapacious animals of 'these countries. Six times the two combatants appeared above the surface of the water, exerting their utmost efforts. The water was dyed with blood, and the tiger, which was seized by the alligator across the back, became at length the prey of the latter." GAMS LAWS.—One of those desperate and bloody con flicts, so inevitable under the existing state of our game laws, took place on Saturday morning week, in the phea sant preserves of H. Hoghton, b:sq. in Walton-le-Dale. A party of six gamekeepers, who had been joined by another person in their, midnight watch, fell in with a company, consisting, according to the keepers' account, of not leas than eleven poachers. The parties having mutually re cognized each other for a moment, one of the poachers said, " D—n 'em, let us fire," upon which several pieces were in'stintly let off, and the volley was, answered by a discharge from the gamekeepers. The guns of the poach ers were ineffective ; but an exclamation, when the game keepers tired, indicated a different result on their part, and a day or two afterwards a hat was picked op near the spot, wish several shot-holes in the crown. The tire was not repeated, and the gamekeepers did not feel themselves in sufficient strength to attempt a. capture of the pinchers. A report has prevailed that the man who was hit is in danger of losing his eve-sight, being badly wounded in the upper part of his fare, but the name of the individual is kept a semi—Preston Chronic(e. At one o'clock yesterday morning twenty-five felons, ordered for transportation, viz. two 14 life, three for four tent years, and twenty for seven years, were piaeed in a caravan, and proceeded for Sheerness, pursuant to their sentence of leaving this country. They were most of them young men ; several were not more than Li or 15 years of age. 'Mete were but few persons in attendance; but there was still a degree of levity evinced on the part of several of them. The usual escort attended them over Bleckfriare bridge, &c. GERMAN PAPERS. STOCKHOLM, Now. I. The English house of Barclay, Herring, Richardson. and Co., which purchased, through the agency of Michaelson and Benedicks, the old ship of the line Forsigtiglietea, and the Camilla and Eu rydice frigates, has written to Michaelson and Co. that, on account of the advanced season and other circumstances, the commercial expedition for which these three ships were de. signed could not be undertaken this year, and it therefore desires them to request the government to annul the contract, and to take back the ships, repaying the purchase-money ; adding, that the English house hopes that his Majesty, graciously consi dering the delay which the expedition has experienced by some of ficers and sailors having been claimed for the Swedish navy, after they had obtained his Majesty's permission to engage in the service of foreign merchants, and that they were consequently obliged to leave those ships, will think it just to relieve then) from the obli. 'rations which the contract Imposed on them. At the same time they desire to be allowed to repurchase next spring all the three ships, or at least the two frigates, on the conditions stipulated in the old contract. On the .29th of last month the house presented this petititio, with the request for legal annulment of the contract, and referred for other particulars to the petition itself. His hlajesty has approved this petition, has ordered the money to be immediately repaid, dispensed the purchasers from paying the penalty tived in the contract, and ordered, besides, that they shall be reimbilraed for all the expenses to which they hare been put in repairing the vessels, as it is not just that the State should profit by the improved condition of the ships. And his Majesty has bees further pleased to promise that the house shall be allowed to repurchase one of the frigates at least, if the royal navy shall not want it. The Editor of the Arras has been acquitted of the charges brought against him.by the Chancellor, of having violated the laws relative to the Liberty of the Presa, by publishing an article relit. tire to the notes exchanged between the Minister of Foreign Affairs arid the Spanish Charge d'Affaires relative to the above ships.

We have received the Caraccas paper, the Colombians, of the 21st September. It contains, among other things, a circular letter, dated from the Palace of Government, in Bogota, July 28, 1825, to the Intendants of the Depart ments, respecting the encyche letter of the Pope, charging the Catholic Bishops to recommend the union of the States in which they reside, with the Mother Country. It sup poses this may only be intended to apply to countries which have never declared themselves independent of Spain ; but, at the same time, strictly enjoins,• that any of the Clergy who, by word, writing, or other means, shall act on this recommendation in the Republic of Colombia, shall be fok iliwith handed over to the proper tribunal, to be tried according to the " Ley de Patronato." The greatest acti vity and vigilance are recommended on this subject. This Paper refers to the second letter received by Joseph Lancaster from Bolivar, enclosing bills of exchange for twenty thousand dollars, and letters of advice from the Pe ruvian Agents in London. The Lancasterian eelool, under the patronage of Bolivar, was expected to be in a state for public examination in the course of a month from the above date. 'We perceive, however, by an advertisement from Lancaster himself, in this Paper, that, "being much in disposed, he was reluctantly compelled to discontinue his school till the 27th instant " (September), when " he would be again happy to see all his highly -esteemed pu pils, and would then have a fresh supply of honours and rewards for the most meritorious." Fifteen years age, when this man was actively occupied in establishing his schools in England, who would have been sanguine enough to predict that he would be called upon to put forth such an advertisement in the English language, in one of th e principal cities of The Republic of Colombia We extract the following Decree, by Bolivar, relative to Upper Pau PERU.—DEC RE C. Simon Bolivar, Liberator, President of Cr.lombia, Liberator of Peru, and charged with the supreme command of it. Considering 1. That the -aivereign Congress of Peru has manifested, in its sittings, the greatest disinterestedness ih every thing relating to its own policy, and that of its neighbours; 2. That Its resolution of February 9.3, in the present year, clearly manifests the respect which it feels for the rights of the Republic of Rio de la Plata, and those of the Provinces of Upper Peru ; 3. That the Grand Marshal of Ayacucho, Commander-in-Chief of the I,iberating Army, convoked on his entrance into the ter ritory of the Provinces of Upper Peru, an assembly of its Repre sentatives ; 4. That' the Grand Marshal, Don Juan Antonio Alvarez de Arenales, has communicated to me that the executive power of the United States of the Rio de la Plata has prepared to place those Provinces in a state freely to deliberate on its Interests and Govern ment 5.

For some weeks past the public here have been on the tiptoe of expectation to witness the ascent of Mn. Graham in an elegant large balloon. After two di n? . pointments, controlled by ungovernable circumstance', this day the ascent was accomplished, and assuredly as imposing and gratifying aptctacle it was. The balloon vas inflated in the market-place, Stonehonse, the gas beingsup plied from Mill-hay gasometer. With their accustorord urbanity, the Earl and Countess of Morley patronised the festive seetoe; and a committee of gentlemen superintended the ascent, which took place about three o'clock this tfte noon, in the presence of at least 18,000 spectators. 11 wind blew fresh off the land from N.N.W., but !.ht Graham bad resolved not again to disappoint the public all things, therefore, being prepared, she took her ply the car, accompanied by Mr. Graham and Mr. Grills, our Dock-yard, who had paid handsomely fora trip tr upper regions, It was soon discovered that the was not sufficiently filled to carry more than two and to administer more gas was considered dan the occupants of the car, from the impossibility, in sac: case, of managing the progress of the balloon, and beans it away from the ocean ; Mr. Grills was, consequently,' behind. After being in the air about 15 minutes, main altitude of nearly. a mile, the balloon rapidly dews.
