The Spanish sloop of war Achilles has been ciirried into \'al. parstsu by her crew, and given up to the Chilton Government. She is the vessel which separaysit from the Asia, 74, with ton intention of returning to Spain ; but it appears that the officers met with c better 4tICCaS than those of the Asia. By the ship Eagle, Captain Morrell, arrived at Baltimore, in 82 days from Valparaiso, we have adders to the 2341 June. The United States schooner Dolphin had sailed a few days before that date for Coquimbo. The trigate United States left Coquimbo for Arica about the middle of June. Flour at Valparaiso on the 23d June wasjat 5 dols. per barrel, on board. Slarkets overstocked with every kind of produce. A number of vessels had arrived during the month of June with flour, but could not sell, and proreeded to leeward. Thrm were no vesaels at Coplapo i.n the 12th July, when the liagie sailed. The Achilles, Spanish sloop of war, had been risen nom, by her crew, and brought into Valparaiso. I'he British 74, Carnt,.;dge sloop of war, L'Ecoli, and a French sloop of war. were at Valparaiso. In addition to the foregoing, says the Baltimore Atom icon, we learn that a passenger in the Eagle reports that the northern sec. lion of Chili, including Coquimbo, had seceded from the Chinon repablic, iif consequence of dissatisfaction at the proceedings of the cougres4.

We there • fore recommend them to the attention of our rea lers:— " There exists in the country at present. particularly in the com mercial world, a great disposition to panic. The ruinous cotton speculations, and the returned bills, British and American, conse quent thereon, have produced a considerable share of embarrass ment amongst mercantile men. The failure of some houses in London, Manchester, and Liverpool, has contributed to increase the public apprehension, and exaggerated statements have been put forth, calculated to aggravate the evil. But, when we take a steady view of the subject, we find that all this mischief is to be traced to one source, and that it is, in ninny cases, a sort of just retribution, inculcating a salutary lesson upon the originators of an unprinciplel speculation, which sought to enhance, to a ruinous price, one of the principal raw materials of the great staple menu. factures of the kingdom. The mischief, we believe. is not deeper than this; and it will soon pails away tLe mercantile and manu facturing interests take a sober and discreet view of the subject, and show that patience and forbearance, when the occasion presents Itself, which they have the opportunity to display towards each other. It is perhaps not generally known, that the number of bankruptcies in this kingdom has been fewer during the present year than in any similar period fur the last twenty years. This fact indicates a bound stamiaa,and should guard the country against giving way to those apprehensions which are apt to produce the evils over which they brood. In the commercial as in the ' natural world there is a self-adjusting prin:iple, which frequently occasions (not without mischiet ) a wholesome state of things. ape culation is apt to advance wool, cotton, and other raw materials, to au endue elevation, anti checks such as we are now witnessino are sometimes required to bring than back to a rational and equitable state."—Lards Atertur y. CITY. MONDAY EVENING. Consols for the November Atx.aunt were all day 87f b ; but it was nearly a nominal price, for there was scarcely a bargain done. The settlement in the Foreign and Share ►erkets super seded all other business; but the balancing of accounts this morning was comparatively a simple transaction, for the differences were but trifling, so little has been done in these markets 'during the last fortnight. The prices were nearly the same as those of Saturday, with the exception of Greek Bonds, which were quoted at qti 5, and Mexican Scrip, which was reported higher, at bi discount. Ex zlecquer Bills were Is. 21. premium. We cannot give a stronger proof of the little importance that has attached to the present settlement than by stating, that the members. of the Stock Exchange keep All Saints Day, to-morrow, as a holyday. This would certainly not have been the case had there been any thing to excite alarm or even suspicion with regard to differences, particularly at this period of shaken confidence. In c6nsequence of the many false rumours, industriously circulated to do injury to the Mexican Mining Associations, the Directors hare deemed it expedient to publish the fol lowing statements in defence of the interests under their care : " The Directors of the Anglo Mexican Company state, that the Valencians Mine, in place of lacing full bf water, is in full work, and paying considerable more than all the expenses incurred. " The Directors of the Real del Monte Company de clare, that the shares have never been sold under 80/. pre mium, and active measures are taken against some indi viduals who have lately propagated alarming rumours on the subject of these mines. "The generalareounts of the United Mexican Com-1 pany's affairs arc said to be extremely promising; and particularly one mine, in which the Company has seven-' eighths interest in perpetuity purchased for 140,000 dollars or 517.000/..

There was a fitir demand and supply of every kind of grain at Mark-lane. Barley has come above the averages for the last three weeks, and there is a strong probability that .the ports will open for that species of agricultural produce on the 15th November. indeed the prises must come under the averages in the interim, at a rate that can scarcely he anticipated, to prevent that circurmtance from taking place, as regards Barley. Letters were yesterday received from Bogota, dated August 20, which state that a division of the Colombian fleet is ordered to the coast of Mexico to assist in an attack on the castle of St. Juan d'Ulloa. It was also rumoured there would be an extensive armament sent against the Havannah.

A dress of soft white satin, ornamented next the shoe with a very full trimming of tulle bouilfon6, confined by straps of white satin ; the bouillon or puckering headed by an ornament of rouleaux in diamonds, finished at the hap with a bias roulcau. The corsage is of satin, trimmed with stripes downwards, formed of very narrow rouleaux; a falling tucker of blond surrounds the bust; the sleeves are short, and not wide, and are simply trimmed next the elbow with blond. The head-dream consists of a regal toque of blue satin, the points of which are relieved by a king white bead io the centre of each ; a bandeau of straw-coloured satin anti pearls encircles the hair next the forehead.

This beautiful piece of plate, made by Lewis and Alston is to be presented to the Bishop of Salisbnry. The de sign is of the ancient druidical order, emblematic of the principality; its decorations are allusive throughout, and are introduced with great taste and effect ; the rich scroll water-lily handles terminate majestically with Druids' heads, and the light spiral outline contrasts admirably well with the central shape, and the chaste and appropriate engravings which embellish it. The body is chased in relief, representing the palm and olive encircling the in scription on one side, and on the other the arms, above which rises a chased oak border. The cover is surmounted with a mitre and cushion, the whole supported by a superb foot of a triangular form, representing three oak trees, beneath which are three herds in a sitting posture, reclining on their harps. The design is at once expressive and national, and is in per fect keeping throughout. The following is the Inscription : " To the Right Reverend TUOMAS BURGESS, D.D. F.R.S.

The last night was one of novelty and experiment at this house. Nothing less thin a new ballet faction, and a new French monkey - ! The ballet is a comic one, and entitled, The Shipwreck a comic piece, a " shipwreck," one would think. The new of Policinelln,—ratber an odd subject for Punch (not rnehe, but simply Po/id/he/1e) is one Monaicur Ilazurier, of Parisian celebrity, who has now Leen brought over, f r the first time, for the purpose of delighting the audience (we beg pardon—the spectators) of an English Theatre Royal. And a very ex , traordinary creature he is, as we shall presently show. Shortly after the commencement of the ballet Policinello is `perceived huffetting the canvass waves in the scene painter's Day of Naples. His ship has been shattered and sunk by a storm, but he escapes from the wreck, and for a time gets on swimmingly enough. Ile lauds in the middle of a gay wedding party, and here commence his tricks and feats of agility, which art. truly surprising, and leave his wooden prototre a thousand miles behind him. Conceive a paste-board Harlequin, such as we make for children, only five feet eight inches in height, endued with vitality, and instead of being bung together, a thing of threads, shreads, and patches, possessing the thews, sinews, and proportions of a man of flesh and blood ! Do this, and you have a faint idea of Monsieur Mazurier. He has the - activity of the paste-board figure in the person of a man of mortal mould, and flings about his legs and arms as if they did not belong to him. lie thrusts himself into all sorts of impossible attitudes ; each step that he takes is in the teeth of the whole system of gravitation, and every move inentlia Mira& ! Talk of the laws which govern mulcu lar action—he laughs them toscorn! and one can only etc cow i t for his motions and positions by supposing his spine an elephant's trunk, his marrow to minis' of mercury, and his knee-pans formed of two ivisible hinges! It is as though an Egyptian mummy could grow immortal in motion, or a skeleton, freed from the gross incurnbrances of flesh and blood, retained animation and activity, and out of very lightness had leaped out of its skin. * Monsieur Mazuricr is a physical problem, and a puzzle to the anatomists. Galvanism itself can produce no such motions as he ap pears spontanconsly to exercise. He possesses suppleness enough for a courtier or a weathercock ; a magnetic pivot, or a Minister of State ! With him all is by contraries : do other people walk on their feet? he can do so too, for his amusement—but he thanks you, and prefers standing on his bead, for ordinary use. He throws his eyebrows into the pit of his stomach, and when he wants a pinch of snuff, thrusts his foot in his breeches pocket. He falls down, as if never to rise again, and appears broken to pieces, but lie quickly revives. He beats le diahle lindens. at (lancing on two sticks ; and if he has not acquired the secret of perpetual motion, seems to have realized the primula mobile in his own poison. But it were fruitless to attempt a description of what must be seen to be appreciated, and which cannot be un derstood after all. Let our readers think what they will (and we can hardly expect them to believe us), but we do not attempt to deceive them. Indeed we fail to convey ' any thing like an adequate idea of the impression which the strange performance of this extraordinary creature is calculated to produce. No words can do it. Let people go to have " the ocular proof." Monsieur Mazurier would make an excellent Clown— the best on our boards—perhaps in the world—and we arc sorry he did not reserve himself for the Christmas panto mime. Then and there he would be ha his propel sphere, and the objections could not be taken to his appearance which a portion of the audience seemed last night to feel. We are enthusiestic lovers of the regular Arama, and s% not wish to see the stage trod by Ketnble and enobled by Shakspeare debased in any way, or directed to the further, ance of objects alien from and unworthy of ita high and ori ginal destination.

But if they will not encourage the legitimate drama, what ars the managers of places of public entertainment to do ? and - with what face can those who follow the devilries of Faust us and the Freischutz cry out against a poor French • Ape of unparalleled ingenuity in his way ? We shall not moot the point as to the fitness of a - winter theatre for exhibitions such as that of last night. It is enough to say it was curious; and will, in our opinion, be, to a limited extent, successful. The house was the fullest of the season ; and notwithstanding a good deal of disapprobation in tile course of and at the close of the ballet, the applause greatly predominated. The poor Frenchman appeared to feel the partial unkind ness of his reception.

The paragraph which appeared lately in some of the Morning Papers respecting the worthy Muter of Saint Peter's, Cambridge, having undertaken to ride eight or ten miles upon the backs of two, three, or more men, we have ascertained is wholly without foundation; the gentle man whose name is so unwarrantably used, having derived his first knowledge of the infamous libel in the perusal of the London Journal. _ _ _ IVe understand that the action for damages brought by Government, respecting the building of the Custom-house, has been commenced only against Mr. Peto, the builder.

Mr. Williams's engagements lie, we have not been able to learn ; but when the extent of his connexion with America, and t he amount to which this town is interested in the American trade, are considered, it is truly astonishing tkat so little of his paper should be held by Manchester houses ; and we believe the case is nearly the same at Liverpool.

MR. lIUME AND THE GLASGOW OPERATIrES On Thursday last, a deputation from the Associat,d Trsdesmen of Glasgow waited on Mr. Hume, in the Wa terloo Hotel, Edinburgh, in ender to present the piece of plate which had been prepared for him.

He is then requested to accept the piece of plate, as " the humble testimonial of the unqualified respect, affection, and gratitude of thousands of virtuous and indus trious workmen." Mr. Hunt: then read a reply, in which, after thanlin the operatives for their good opinion and offer of a piere of plate, he declines accepting it, or any such tokens of esteem, under existing circumstances. "It would indeed," sass he, " have been most pleasing to me to base Received them ; but I feel that I ought not to do so at this time.

The public-spirited proprietors hare this week thwarted, in the most effectual manner, an at tempt or the Combination to injure them at Govan. A de cree was issued, enjoining the colliers there to week enly three full days in a fortnight. When the mandate was carried into effect, the proprietors made a complaint to the Justices against two of the delinquents. The colliers, it appeared, were bound to work ten full days in the fortnight, and, in case of leaving the wet k, to give a fot Might's none.. The colliers, without any notice, gave up putting out, ex c.•pt for three days' work in the fortnight. The prisoners contended that they were at perfect liberty to work or DO!, ,jet in they inclined.

One of the colliers had absented himself for ten days consecutively from hie work ; and the other for repeated absence, and not working the usual hours since the last pay. 't he firs: collier admitted the ten days'. absence, but stated that he had returned to his work three days before the case came on for trial.
