AMERICAN AFFAIRS. (From the Correspondence of the Morning Chronicle.) PHILADELPHIA, JULY 24.—The present season of the year in this Republic, as in the West Indies, is generally marked by an almost total suspension of business. When the extreme heat of summer commences, the merchants of the southern and middle Atlantic cities repair from the " hum of busy life" either to the watering-places on the sea shore, to Niagara, the Lakes, Saratoga, or some other place or region of fashionable and healthful resort and travel. Politics and trade languish in a kind of summer lethargy, or rather they enjoy an annual siesta. I mention this fact by way of accounting for the present remarkable dullness of all public matters in the Union ; and also to show that much of the apathy of commerce is due to the reason, as well as to the panic. Without descending into details of the changing state of public opinion recently observable in every part of the Union, I will content myself with noticing only the tone of the Globe, the official organ of Government. The Globe of Thursday last says, that " banks cannot be dispensed with, except at the sacrifice of all justice in regard to the contracts made under a mixed currency ; nor without a violation of the faith pledged in the legislation (where honestly obtained) by which they were established." This is not all. On the following day the Globe came out with this language on the subject of the currency :—" The chi merical scheme of an exclusive metallic currency has never been entertained by the friends of the past or present Ad ministration ; nor has there been the slightest attempt to interfere with the credit system." I admit that the above paragraphs do not propose any particular plan or remedy— that they do not commit the editors to the entire doc trines of pro-bankism ; but their tendency and meaning are not to be mistaken. They are thrown out as feelers of the public pulse—a mere paving of the way to a change of politics. By way of proving to you that the change is considerable, I just quote the following sen tence from an editorial article in the Globe in 1835, the palmy period of General Jackson's policy, when it proceeded, almost unchecked, in its headlong career :—" In seven months from this time bank-rags will be abolished, and the whole country will be overspread with gold. Every farmer and merchant of the West will have a long silk purse of open net-work, through the interstices of which the yellow gold will shine and glitter." Alas ! the then policy and doctrines of the General and the Globe continued up to within the last few days, jointly with the over-trading of the merchants, has produced the very reverse of this golden vision. The news which arrived yesterday from England, in forming us that the American suspension of specie pay ments bad become known in Liverpool and London, did nct excite the sensation that might have been anticipated on the other side of the water. All that was written in the columns of the British Press was expected, and the abuse heaped upon the misfortunes of the merchants of this republic by the Tories was foreseen. Overtrading they have certainly been guilty of ; but the Manufacturers of Great Britain and their agents in this country are blame worthy for a considerable share of the wild speculations that have distinguished American commerce—both for joining in its excesses and pushing a sale of their goods in this country to an unprecedented extent. The truth is, overtrading is equally the fault of both countries ; and generally, indeed of all commercial nations. My belief is that the merchants of America, as a body, did all that men could possibly effect to sustain their credit and make their foreign remit tances ; and that so many of them having been compelled to bow to the storm is by no means a proof of the sacrifice of their integrity. That the country is slowly rising from its late prostrate condition is everywhere apparent, but in the abundant promise of the crops, and the improving condition of the Money Market. One banking institution, the Louisiana State Bank at New Orleans, resumed specie pay ments on the 13th inst. A great national event, as it is everywhere called in Americ.4, took place in Philadelphia on Tuesday last. I refer to the launch of the Pennsylvania line-of-battle ship. She is the largest vessel of the line in the world. AMERICAN MARKETS. The news from England has produced as yet no sensible effect either on the Money Market or the prices of mer ch indise. It is the dull season of the year, and trade feels no more than its usual annual depression in the months of July and August. That late remittances to Europe were small is proved by the returns of specie exported from New York during the six days from the 14th to the 20th inst., being only 117,910 doffs. Specie, however, is a shade lower. The markets remain precisely as in my last. Freights very dull, and foreign exchange as high as ever. United States Bank Stock, 113-112. A few shares have been sold at 1131 ; sovereigns, 5 dollars 33 cents to 5 dollars 40 cents. ; American 14 to 16 prem. (old coinage), 8 to 9 new ; doubloons, 17 dollars 60 cents. to 17 dollars 75 cents. ; Pat: lot, 16 dollars 75 cents. to 16 dollars 85 cents. ( From the Correspondence of the Times.) NEW YORK, JULY 23.—There is no pressure in the money-market, but apprehensions are entertained as to the amount of bills that will probably be returned, in conse quence of the failure of several London houses concerned in the American trade. The embarrassments of the Government, from the want of a circulating medium, continue to increase. The actual collections of the revenue from day to day are not a tithe of the amount failing due ; and there are strong reasons to believe that the strong surplus which was anticipated will not only be exhausted by the non-payment of revenue bonds, but that there will be a deficiency at the close of the year, 1837. Specie continues to arrive from almost every quarter of tl:e world, but in gold as a merchantable commodity, and not used as a currency. The purchases, however, are ail made for remittance, and as the demand for that object is diminishing, the marketable value of specie is falling daily in a like ratio. It is now rather heavy at Bto 8,1 1 per cent. abov e Cit y B an k Bill s . A t no t i me h as it been purchased by the Banks, or to hoard. In some instances it was bought to pay res enue bonds ; hut even that is now at an end, unless bought in very small sums. A substi tute for it is found in Government Bank checks, the opera tion of which I will explain. Any person having a demand upon the Government for services or supplies may receive payment in a check or checks upon a deposit bank. These checks are drawn in sum, to suit the convenience of the creditor, and they are received by the Treasury offi..ers in payment of public lands, or for revenue bonds. They are then thrown into the market by the holder, and purchased in lieu of specie, by such person or persons as may be in a condition to, or under the necessity of, making payments to the Government. As the expenditure under old contracts arid appropriations is much greater by several departments than the receipts, these checks have fallen in their market value from about 10 per cent. above par to 41 or 5 per cent, above par, which is their present price. I have critically examined into the fact, and am much surprised at the quantity of gold which has been brought from England into the United States within the last three months. There has been a much greater number than usual of passengers having money. The Napoleon, from London, brought about 180,000 dollars in sovereigns ; and several other vessels have arrived within a few weeks, hav ing on board from 30,000 to 50,000 dollars. None of it, however, goes into the banks, or finds its way into circula tion. From this source, therefore, but little evil is to be apprehended. There is, however, a point of view in which your manufacturing interest may be sensibly affected. Some months ago I referred to the probable effect which the disjointed state of the times would produce upon your export of manufactured articles, and remarked that the importations into the United States during the coming autumn would be very limited, compared with the last year. It is now evident that these predictions will be realized. The imports continue to decrease, but this is not all ; I have ascertained that there is at this moment deposited, in the public stores of this city, merchandise subject to duty to more than seven millions of dollars ; and there is no doubt, in the ratio of their imports, similar amounts are in deposit (under the key of the Collector of the Customs) in all the principal cities of the Union. Now, it must be re collected, that there is not in this country, as in Great Britain, a regular warehouse system. The consequence will be, that a large amount of these goods will be re-shipped, to save the consignees from the payment of the duties ; and this operation, on a small scale, is going on daily. No ar gument or explanation is necessary to show the effect upon your home industry. This statement is not a speculative opinion, but based upon facts as they exist. Thus early in the admistration of Mr. Van Buren, it seems folly to hazard opinions as to the effect upon the country which his policy will produce. But this much I will say—his political party is agitated, convulsed, dis tracted. His counsellors and advisers are at fault, while he stands astounded at the revolution which is proceeding ra pidly, and which threatens to leave him powerless before one half his term of service expires. He will have a ma jority in the next Congress, because 18 out of 26 States elected their members some months ago. If the question were now submitted to the whole American people, he would be beaten. DECLARATION OF WAR BY BUENOS AYRES AGAINST PERU.--By the ship Brutus Captain Adams, we have Buenos Ayres papers to the 27th of May. The British Packet of that date contains a declaration of war by the Republic of Buenos Ayres against Peru, now under the protection of General Santa Cruz, who is also President of Bolivia. Chili declared war against Peru some time ago. So there are two against two—Chili and Buenos Ayres against Bolivia and Peru. All the republics of South Ame rica are thus mingled in the strife, except the Banda Oriental and the old republic of Colombia, now divided into the three republics of Ecuador, New Granada, and Venezuela. It be difficult for these to avoid being drawn into the vortex, particularly E cua d or , w hi c h f rom it s local position is most exposed. The declaration of war is ac companied in the Buenos Ayres Papers with a very long manifesto, setting forth the causes which in the opinion of the Government render the step necessary. The Banda Oriental (capital Montevideo) is also in arms—not against Peru, but against itself. General Fructuoso Riveira, former President of the Republic, and who only a few months since was defeated in an insurrectionary attempt against the Government, is again in motion, having collected a force on the frontiers of Brazil, with which he intends to march to Montevideo, if he can. Preparations are making to give him a warm reception. The Brazilian brig Eloisa has been seized at Buenos Ayres and confiscated, in con sequence of being about to depart from that port ostensibly for the Cape of Good Hope, but really for the west coast of Africa, to engage in the slave trade.—New Yolk Journal of Commerce. We are gratified to learn that our fellow•eitizen, Benja min Rush, Esq., has been appointed by the President to the vacant post of Secretary of Legation to the Court of St. James's.—Pennsylvanian. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was held, in consequence of a most numerously-signed requisition received by the Lord Mayor, " to consider the propriety of instructing the Committee for conducting the entertainment to be given to her Most Gracious Majesty, to erect galleries in the Hall for the ac commodation of visitors, and that the said Committee do further consider and report to the Court a plan for the dis tribution of the tickets for the admission of parties to such galleries." Considering the time of the year there was a very large attendance of members. The hour appointed for assembling was two hours later than the usual time of meeting. SYSTEM OF PERSONATING VOTERS AT ELECTIONS. Sir PETER LAURIE gave notice of a motion upon a very important subject—to petition Parliament to adopt speedy and effectual measures for the better identification of elec tors at the poll for Members of Parliament, in order to check and suppress the system of personating voters in the register. He had, he said, a great deal of extraordinary information to give to the Court in proof of the necessity of agreeing to his proposition, which he should bring for ward as speedily as possible.

The LORD MAYOR stated to the Court that her Majesty had been graciously pleased to accept the invitation of the Corporation to dine in their hall, and had appointed the 9th of November for her visit. Her Majesty had also been graciously pleased to assent to the invitation of the Queen Dowager, and the rest of the Royal Family, to the enter tainment.—(Cheers.) Mr. CORNET had seen in a newspaper a statement to the effect that the present Lord Mayor was the most proper person to preside on the day on which it was the intention of her Majesty to honour the citizens of London with her presence at dinner, although the new Lord Mayor com menced his mayoralty, according to long established custom, on that day. He was surprised to see a paragraph of the kind in a public journal, and was anxious to know whether his Lordship knew anything about it ?—(Cries of " Order, order.") The Lord Mayor took no notice of the question, but proceeded to the business of the day at once—the consider ation of the matter of the requisition. Mr. R. L. JONES said that the requisition implied a want of confidence in the Committee to whom the subject had been referred. Mr. TYARS had no idea of the proceedings of the Com mittee, but he was informed that they had stultified them selves by negativir.g the proposition to accommodate strangers. Mr. FLETCHER (the Chairman of the Committee) rose to state the course adopted by the Committee. They had immediately, upon hearing that the Queen had accepted the invitation, proceeded to the performance of their duties, and ordered that the hall should undergo a complete clean sing, seven or eight years having elapsed since an operation of that kind had been performed, and they directed that the Remeinbranccr should ascertain the number of the suite of her Majesty and the rest of the Royal Family. They then determined, after due examination, to make the pre parations which had been undertaken at the time of the ex pected visit of William IV. and Queen Adelaide as closely as possible imitated. Mr. Undersheriff WIRE moved, " That it should be an instruction to the Committee to erect galleries according to the terms of the requisition." Mr. KING seconded the proposition. Nothing, in his op:nicn, could equal in elegance the appearance of a gallery filled with fine women.—(Cheers.) Mr. A NDERTON was convinced that a great deal of in convenience would arise from the erection of galleries. Although most desirous to accommodate the ladies, he could not litslp taking into consideration the cost of money as well as of comfort at which that accommodation must be pur chased, and he was the more inclined to look at the ques tion in that way when he looked to the 24,0001. which the feast they were called to look upon as a model had inflicted upon the city.—(No, no.) Mr. MARRIOTT—It was only 22,0001. Sir PETER LAUME trusted that no patronage would spring from the erection. The Corporation were to enter tain the Queen, and not to collect together a body of spec tators, who might, as the Queen had taken a box at the theatre, go thither to see her, without having their vision obstructed, or the hall converted into a booth like Richard son's for their accommodation.—(Hear.) He regretted that her Majesty had been induced to appoint the 9th of November—that the 18th of next May, her own birth-day, had not been chose.i.—(Loud cheers.) Amongst other objections, was in his opinion one of no small importance— that no persons could sit in the galleries when the hall was lighted up with gas, without danger to their lives. Mr. TYARS wished the Court to be consistently extrava gant for the dignity of the city. Mr. PEWTRESS declared that an extraordinary case ought to be made out before they could consent to interfere with the labours of the Committee, upon whom the Court ought not to accumulate difficulties with which they would be un able to contend.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. ANDERTON—I wish to ask the Chairman whether the Committee intend to appropriate any tickets to them selves, and whether they meant that the ladies of the Foreign A mbassadors shall be invited. Mr. FLETCHER replied that all the members of the Committee expected to be entitled to was, to have those places occupied by their friends which they now occupied in their duties.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. R. L. JONES strongly urged the propriety of acting upon the plan proposed when the visit of William the Fourth was expected. Mr. WILLIAMS said it would be a compliment to the Queen to surround her with elegant women—an object in comparison with which the expense would be quite insigni• ficant. Mr. WIRE replied with great spirit, but his motion was lost by a majority of four—the numbers being, for the gal leries, 62—against the galleries, 66.—Adjourned. The Nouvelliste Vaudois says that, according to accounts from Arenenberg, the physicians of the Duchess de Saint LQu have lost all hope of saving her. She has become so feeble that, to take the air, she is obliged to be carried in an arm-chair to a balcony. The spirit of animosity evinced by the late Duchess of St. Alban's towards his Grace's brother, Lord Frederick Beauclerk, R.N., arose out of his refusal to meet her wishes in an alliance with her intended heiress, Miss Angela Burdett. It is very currently reported that one of the Members for the western division of Cumberland will probably be in duced to resign his seat soon after the meeting of Parlia ment, to make way for the brother-in-law of my Lord Low ther. We trust the rumour will dictate to the Liberals the policy of attending to the registration, as we are confidently assured that a candidate on the Reform interest will offer himself whenever a vacancy may occur in the representation of this division of our county.—Whitehaveil Herald. John Reeve is in a fair way of recovery, and friends have by no means abandoned the hope of seeing him early in the season at the Adelphi, as glorious as ever. We understand that it is the intention of the inha bitants of Smithfield and its vicinity to petition Parliament to abolish or remove that intolerable nuisance, Barele'my fair, and the annual celebration of which revels is now so nerr at band. The following tempting invitation appears upon a window at a gin palace in the Elysian neighbourhood of Seven-dials :—" Stop ! stop ! stop ! Here you may get the regular knock-me-down, sow-me-up, do-me-brown, ask me-how, c ome-it-strong, out-and-out, genuine never-split, cream of the valley, price twopence the glass, including a rusk and a dash of carraways. The celebrated French orientalist, M. Garcin de Tassy, is at present in London consulting the Hindostanee manuscripts at the India-house. M. Garcin, whose oriental researches are well known, has on previous occasions visited this country.

SCULLERS' WAGER AT WATERLOO BRIDGE.—The watermen plying on the Surrey aide of Waterloo Bridge yesterday rowed their fourth annual contest for a wherry and minor prizes given by the inhabitants of St. John's Lambeth, with six pair of sculls, in three heats. In starting for the grand and final struggle yellow took the lead, in consequence of blue and white having fouled. The leading man was, however, too old to keep anything like the start, and the moment that tke two young men got clear they rowed past the leading man and fought hard for the first place. The boats came in thus R. T. Barrow, blue, I—H. Creed, stripe, 2—G. Franks, yellow, 3—R. Barrow, pink, 4. It was won by a few lengths. ST. JOHN'S AND ST. MARGARET'S REGATTA.—The eleventh contest amongst the watermen of Westminster Bridge stairs was also rowed yesterday, but was not so well contested as the other. It was with fourteen pairs in two heats. It is unne cessary to go into any detail. The men finished the grand heat in the following order : H. Campbell, J. Jones, jun., yellow, I—H. Spratt, G. Campbell, pink, 2—H. May, E. Howell, red, 3—H. Heriser, J. Jones, sen., blue, 4. It was won easily. DEPTFORD REGATTA.—The Ladies and Gentlemen of Dept ford subscribed for a boat which was rowed for yesterday by six young watermen of this town. The first heat was contested most admirably by Charles Twin, sky-blue ; John Howlett, orange ; and Richard Smith, pink. They started at eleven o'clock from the Upper Water-gate ; the whole front of the town, from the Creek's mouth to the Queen's-yard, was the distance, going three times round at each heat. The first heat, after a most determined struggle was won by Howlett. The second heat was also well contested by George Ogden, dark blue ;H. Gilbert, green ; and Joseph Doyle, red. The third heat was contested by the second and third men from the foregoing divisions, and won by Ogden and Doyle. Then the fourth heat afforded a sharp contest between the first com petitors for the first and second heats, and those who were first and second in the third, which after great exertion was won by green and pink, Gilbert and Smith. This affair was now to be decided by the latter two men, and great interest conse quently excited; but it was soon discovered that Gilbert had the advantage, who ultimately won by three boats' lengths. Although the contest throughout was most arduously fought the palm of victory was settled on the brow of Gilbert.

His Royal Hightus Prince Peter of Oldenburg , who is spoken of in the political circles as the future Vice roy of the ill-fated Kingdom of Poland, is step-son of the King of Wirtemberg, whose first wife was the Grand:Duchess of Oldenburg, sister to the present Emperor Nicholas of Russia. His Imperial Highness was in England last year. The Grand Duke and Duchess of Oldenburg en tertained his Serene Highness the Prince Ernest of Hesse Phillipsthal and a select party at dinner, on Sunday evening, at Mivart's Hotel.

A contemporary critic, in his notice of the Italian Opera on Saturday evening, after lamenting that her Majesty did not show herself during the performance, gives vent in the following Oriental simile to his loyal and passionate imagination :—" During the whole night she kept quite retired behind the red curtain, like a fairy hid den by a rose leaf !" THE NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF "STORIES OF WATERLOO"—" THE BlvouAc."—This work unques tionably embraces far greater variety of detail and incident than the author's former production—the " Stories of Wa terloo," extensively popular as those volumes were. In turning to account the striking events which arose in the Peninsula during Wellington's glorious campaign, the ma terials placed at the service of the historical novelist involve a rapid change of scene and contrast of circumstance, from the habits of Spanish life, as seen in the different cities, to the wild doings of the Guerillas in their mountain fastnesses. All this has been open to the personal observation of the present writer, and it furnishes the most favourable oppor tunities for the display of his peculiarly vivid and picturesque style. Mr. Maxwell's picture of the fall of Badajoz is one the most appalling and graphic of all the military recitals we ever read ; while nothing can surpass, in absorbing interest, his account of the siege of St. Sebastian, the battles of Vit toria and Talavera, and of the obstinately contested entrance of the English army into Franco. The success of the book is certain, if only as a companion to the author's famous " Sto ries of Waterloo."—Naval and Military Gazette. A gallon of unrefined hartshorn mixed with two bushels of mould or ashes, and sown broadcast over one acre of turnip land after the seed is sown, will protect tie plant from fly, as well as the insect which occasionally at tacks the bull.

The Council was attended by the first Lord of the Trea sury, the Secretaries of State for the Foreign and Colo nial Departments, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, the Lord Chamber lain, and the Master of the Horse. Colonel Powell was re-sworn Lord Lieutenant of C ganshire. Mr. C. Greville was the Clerk of the Council in Waiting.

Lady Barham was the Lady in Waiting ; Viscount Torrington and Mr. Rich, the Lord and Groom in Waiting; and Colonel Buckley, the Equerry in Waiting. The Queen had a dinner party last evening at the New Palace. Among the company were—their Royal High nesses the Duchess of Kent, the Duke of Sussex, and the Princess Sophia ; Viscount Melbourne, Viscount Palmer ston, Lord Glenelg, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Hussey Vivian, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Sir J. Macdonald, Lady Charlotte Copley, Viscount Torrington, Baroness Lehzen, Lord John Churchill, Hon. Colonel Cavendish, Mr. Rich, and Colonel Buckley. OPENING OF THE NEW GATES IN HYDE PARK BY HER MAJESTY. It having become known that the Queen would yester day attend the opening of the new gates recently erected in Hyde-park, close to the gate leading into Kensington-gar dens, on the Bayswater side, called Buckhill-gate, and opening nearly opposite to the Junction-road leading to Paddington, a large concourse of well-dressed persons as sembled near the spot long before five o'clock, the hour appointed for the ceremony, and lined the side of the road by which her Majesty was expected. At five o'clock the band of the Royal Artillery Company, of which his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex is captain general, arrived from the Artillery-ground, Finsbury, and took up a position within the gates on the right-hand side. About ten minutes afterwards the Duke of Sussex, accom panied by Lord John Churchill and Mr. Stephenson, es rived in a private carriage, and entered the splendid lodge which closely adjoins the gates, where they awaite3 the Queen's arrival. A shower of rain, which commenced descending about that time, caused fears to be entertained that the ceremony would be post poned ; but about twenty minutes to six o'clock infor mation was brought that her Majesty was on the point of entering her carriage at Buckingham Palace. Precisely at ten minutes to six o'clock the Queen entered Hyde Park in an open landau drawn by four horses, and preceded by two outriders. In the carriage beside the Queen were the Duchess of Kent and Lady Jenkinson. The royal car riage proceeded round the ring drive, until it arrived oppo site the gates, which are to be called " The Victoria Gates," w here it halted amidst the cheers of the assembled persons. The Duke of Sussex, accompanied by Mr. Stephenson, then advanced to the side of the carriage, where he had conversation with her Majesty for several minutes, the band playing during the time the national anthem. His Royal Highness then advanced towards the gate on the western side, calling out, " Open the Victoria Gates ;" on which the gates were thrown open, and the royal carriages passed through, followed by the whole of the other carriages, among which we noticed those of the Earls of Westmore land and Harrington, Lords Burghesh and Dinorben, Lady Gardner, &c. After the cavalcade had passed through, the Duke of Sussex, standing in the centre of the avenue to the gates, requested the company to join him in giving three cheers in honour of her Majesty, a request which was immediately responded to by three times three as enthusias tic cheers as we ever remember having heard, his Royal Highness acting as fugleman. Her Majesty, after passing through, passed down the Bayswater-road, and again entering Hyde-park, by Cum berland-gate, proceeded along Rotten-row, and passing round the figure of Achilles, again drove round the ring drive, and passed the Victoria-gates, when she was again received with every demonstration of loyalty and attach ment, the band again playing " God save the Queen. Her Majesty, we rejoice to say, looked remarkably well and in high spirits, and seemed much amused by the proceedings. The Duke of Sussex also looked extremely well. While returning round Rotten-row the rain descended so fast that her Majesty ordered th e carr i age t o b e c l ose d, a ft e r which the Royal party returned to the New Palace.
