CLARK'S PATENT SPERM OIL, only ss. per imperial gallon, is bright as crystal in the coldest weather, and lasts longer than real Sperm. It burns in all descriptions of Argand Lamps. The great expense of Sperm Oil, and the trouble of common oils, can now be dispensed with at plesoure. It is admirably suited for Solar Lamps, as they will not want cleaning for years, and being so pure, four gallons go as far as five gallons of any common oils ; so, in reality, Clark's Patent Sperm Oil is cheapest. Families laying in their stock of Spermaceti or Wax Candles, Soaps, &c. &c., will positively save 30 per cent. In their outlay. This is no fiction, and this system of equitable charges the public will support.

To be had at the Patentees, 60, St. Martin's-lane, Charing-cross. The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts, 'The advantages resulting from the invention are various and striking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 80 per cent„ the com bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light hitherto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns steadily for any period ; and such is its purity, that it neither affects or soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have made to the introduction of gas in dwellin:-houses, to the expense of fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, &c. ; these ar e entirely obviated by the "PATENT UNIV ERSAL G AS se AS the cost of laying on gas is muck lower th an i s com monly SUpposed, it is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for club-houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum Immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of waste or trouble.

The inauguration banquet of the new Sheriffs, Thomas Challis, Esq., Alderman, and Robert W. Kennard, Esq., took place yesterday at the London Tavern, when up wards of 220 guests partook of a most magnificent enter tainment provided by Messrs. Bathe and Breach, the liberal proprietors of the London Tavern. The dinner was on a more than usual scale of splendour. The services of a rather questionable brass band had been secured, and Messrs. Hawkins, Hobbs, Lockey, Machin, Hatton, and Gear, enlivened the proceedings of the evening with some admirable singing. Mr. Harker, as toast-master, officiated in a most becoming manner. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor occupied the chair ; and amongst the guests we noticed Lord J. Russell, M.P., Mr. Masterman, Mr. Lyall, M.P., Mr. Hudson, M.P., Mr. Bankes, M.P., (the Cursitor Baron), the Lord Chief Baron, Alderman Sir C. Hunter, Alderman Sir James Duke, Alderman Kelly, Alder man Humphery, Alderman Gibbs, Alderman Thomas Wood, Alderman Carroll, Alderman Farneombe, Alder man Sir W. Magnay, Alderman Moon, Alderman Musgrove, Alderman Hughes Hughes, Alderman Sid ney, the Under-Sheriffs Bayliss and Tilleard, his Excel lency the Belgian Ambassador, M.

Wire, Mr. Bircham, the Master and Wardens of the Butchers' Company, the Master and Wardens of the Carpenters' Company, the Master of the Haberdashers' Company, and many other gentleinen well known and highly respected in the city of London. The cloth having been removed, and the usual loyal and national toasts having been duly proposed and most heartily received, The Loan MAYOR gave " Prosperity to the Trade and Commerce of the city of London.' Drunk with three times three. Mr. J. D.H.Low briefly responded to the toast. He trusted that with the citizens of London commerce might not be employed solely with the view of enriching indi viduals, but that it might be made an instrument in the hands of Heaven for civilising mankind, for ameliorating the institutions, and for improving the laws of the ;country to which belonged-r(Choor:s.) Regarding this as the great aim of cotnmerce; he could not but congratulate the citizens of London upon having elected as their representative in Parliament Vale Lord near him whose talents and acquirements, ose honesty and integrity, had raised him to the proud position of Prime Minister of this country.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. Alderman CHALLIS (Sheriff) said, thii.next toast upon the list was that of the " Right Efoli:•Lord John Russell, and her Majesty's Ministers."—(Chei;ra.), That was a toast which had always been received by 'the citizens of London without respect of political parties, and however desirous they might be- upon the present occasion, and however proper and _suitable might appear to the gentlemen by whom 'hi was surrounded to do honour to their illustrious ,guest, he was sure he .should do no justice to that Noble Lord's feelings if he were to introduce, 'upon the occasion of proposing his health, any sentiment which might be likely to produce 'the slightest discord.—(Cheers.) There were features, however, connected with the circumstances in which they were placed, and which came more immediately under the superintendence of the Sheriffs, to which he might allude without introducing any difference of opinion, and which he thought he might advert to, because he believed that the wise discretion and wisdom which belonged to her Majesty's present Ministers were likely to conduct such questions as conduced to the social advancement and civilisation of the people to a happy and successful issue. —(Cheers.) They were too apt to associate the word "civilisation" only with the notions of such light and liberty as they themselves enjoyed; but if they could be conducted to the cells of our prisons, and thence to the habitations of the poor, they would behold a very different picture from that which they were in the habit of witnessing, and they would see that their own country and their own neighbourhoods required civilisation and improvement.—(Loud cheers.) The question to which he would first allude was the amelioration of the poor law, if not in principle, at least in its ad ministration, so that the witty aphorism of a late witty member of the Church of England may not continue to be true—that if they made the gaols too comfortable the poor would be more ready to break in than the guilty to break out.— (Hear - hear.) It was often his lot to see, as an administrator of the law, that the underlings of the e c a o t m ed ui t it he m p i o m o e r s in in s o u r c d h er a t m o a b n e n s e e r n t t h t a o t would te rather m poor-law gaol, than enter the workhouse.—(Hear, hear.) Then with regard to the amelioration of the criminal law, ho should be glad to carry out every reasonable principle of improvement which could be effected, everything which could tend to make the law what it ought to be—a praise and encouragement to them that do well, and a terror to evil doers. Upon the question of education, he believed he might safely say that the integrity, the honesty, and the firmness of purpose of her Majesty's Ministers would bear down all the petty jealousies and prejudices which might disturb the community upon that subject, and he trusted that they would all unite heart and hand in carrying out some great general measure, having for its object the education of the people: It *as' not desirable that he should say more upon that subject in the presence of their noble guest. The efforts of his noble friend to ameliorate the condition of the country —his endeavours to preserve all that was sound and admirable in the constitution, and to obliterate all that was worthless and inimical to the liberty of the subject, were matters of history, and would be remembered by a grateful posterity when the feuds and animosities which had connected themselves with those endeavours should have been forgotten.—(Loud cheers.) The toast was drunk with three times three and the most unbounded applause. Lord J. RUSSELL immediately rose, and silence having been restored, he spoke as follows:—In returning you my grateful thanks for the honour you have done me I shall not attempt to enter into any of those difficult debateable questions to which the worthy proposer of the toast has alluded. No doubt those topics are of the utmost importance. All I will venture to assure you is, that to those subjects on which he has touched, and to many others relating to the welfare and prosperity of this country, her Majesty's Ministers will give their un ceasing and conscientious attention, and will endeavour, whether in administering, or in proposing measures for legislation, to submit and to carry out such measures as they believe to be best calculated to promote the benefit of the great country to which they have the honour to belong.—(Loud cheers.) In so stating, I should say that it is part of the duty of her Majesty's Ministers, in con sidering this vast empire, to convey from those parts which are strong succour to those parts which, however distant, are weak; and again, to carry relief from those parts which are in a state of prosperity to those which are unfortunately in a state of suffering and privation. — (Cheers.) Of this I am convinced, that if you in this city of London, partaking and sharing in the feelins , of the whole country, and indeed speaking the feeling of the whole country, have a sympathy with all parts of this great empire, then all our fellow-subjects who live in the Queen's dominions may rely upon our assistance in their hour of their need—may rely that we consider them as brethren, living under the same crown, and as having the happiness to live under the same con stitution. And I trust that we may see extended to other parts of the world those blessings of freedom which we have had so long established amongst us, and which, with the light of the Gospel, I trust, will pervade all parts of the globe.—(Cheers.) I will only now add, that in proposing to you the health of the Sheriffs, lam sure, from the earnest you have already had, you will be convinced that those gentlemen will pay the utmost attention to the important duties which devolve upon them.—(Cheers.) I am sure that any plans of reform and amelioration which may come before them will re ceive from them the fairest consideration—the result of an anxious desire to promote the welfare of all—of the lowest, of the most guilty even of their species; and I am sure that in so doing they will earn the approbation of the citizens of London.—(Cheers.) Let us hope that those great problems, many of which have hitherto been hid in obscurity, but which, nevertheless, are matters well worthy of the attention of statesmee— matters relating to the social condition of the com munity—will receive such attention, that both here and elsewhere the condition of the great mass of mankind may be improved; that not only may our gaols be made places of less suffering, and greater hope of reformation, but that by more attention to the means of instruction many may be preserved from the guilty course on which they now enter, in utter igno rance of their duty both to God and man.—(Cheers.) That ignorance you must all see does not, ought not, to belong to this enlightened, free, and Christian country ; but it is quite true, as your worthy sheriff has observed, that in times of the greatest civilization, and, in a metro polis like this, where the greatest civilization is supposed to prevail, yet while that very civilization is progressing, it does, somehow or other, leave behind it in its progress persons among the poorer classes of society, who, as I believe, receive less instruction, have less information, and oftentimes live in a more miserable and degraded state of existence, than was the case with any portion of the community centuries ago, when civilization was not so forward.—(Cheers.) ,'his is now known to us all. Let us pursue these indpaths of improvement—let us pursue them with the hope that we shall not only do good to such of that description as may be amongst us, but that other nations will strive with us in that honour. able emulation, and that we shall seek to surpass one another more in our endeavours to raise the community to which we belong, than in those disastrous acts to which, by a false notion, glory and renown have been attached. By so doing we may hope to have an era before us, not only of future prosperity, but an era in which we may reflect that we have done our duty to all our fellow men—in which we have endeavoured to im prove their condition not only in point of wealth, but have striven to raise them in that moral relation which shall constitute our highest pride as men and Christians. —(Cheers.) I beg leave to give you the healths of the Sheriffs.—(Loud cheers,) Mr. Sheriff and Alderman CHALLIS responded to the toast. lie could assure them that they entered upon their office with a full appreciation of the responsibilities which attached to it. Whatever influence the office could command should be devoted to purposes of general utility and practical beneficence.—(Cheers.) Mr. Sheriff KENNARD reiterated the sentiments of his colleague, and added that it would be his greatest plea sure, as it would be his highest reward, to merit that good opinion which the kind reception of their health I had led him to believe they entertained.—(Cheers.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL then gave the health of the Lord Mayor. His Right honourable Friend had now served through so great a part of the year, his merits were so well known to them, the way in which he had performed the duties of his office, and his munificent hospitality, of which so many of them had partaken, were so noto rious in the City, that he was sure he need not say one word more in proposing to them the health of the Lord Mayor.—(Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR' eXpreSSed his extreme gratifica tion at the manner in which his health was received. He had only six weeks to remain in office, and he trusted during that period he should continue to give that satis faction to his fellow-citizens which up to the present time his conduct had elicited.—(Cheers.) Mr. Sheriff KENNAiID then proposed as a toast," The Lord Chief Baron and the Judges." The LORD CHIEF BARON, in responding to the toast, remarked that he had always felt, and never more fully than since he had hada seat on the bench, that the pure administration of justice was mainly indebted in this country to the large share in its administration which belonged to the people themselves, and they might rely upon it that it was mainly to the institution of trial by jury that the administration of justice, both civil and criminal, had obtained, as he believed that it had, such general acceptation throughout the civilised world. —(Cheers.) As long, as there was a competent appeal by trial by jury there would not only be an enlightened, but there must be an incorruptible administration. — (Hear, hear.) He could not help making one remark with respect to criminal administration. They might rely upon it that the question of the suppression of crime did not depend upon the manner in which they were to deal with criminals in gaol. It depended upon the mode in which they treated the oppressed, the poor, and the ignorant who were not in gaol. By taking care of those classes, and instructing them, they would repress crime, and would prevent the gaols being filled. Let them, then, as far as possible, raise the humbler classes, give knowledge where they found ignorance, and ever relieve where they met real distress.—(Loud cheers.) After a number of other toasts, including the health of the Cursitor Baron, .5f the Members for the City, ; responded to by Mr Mistermarrof thvg,44l London, and of the late Sheriffs, the company at a late hour. -: ~.. - - ... :'S :~,=: 4.. . NAV AL INTELLIGENCE.. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—TI Retribution steam-,. frigate, Captain Lushington, rema es at SpitheaCfer,:, orders. She requires so much altesition and iinproire' ment before she can become a serviceable sliip,lthdt itite considered probable she will be gryen i over p Abe engineers and dockyard hands, and her 'officerd'anir ship's company, than whom there is rid a f tntwe' efficient body of men in the service, if we may believe the testi rnony of Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker,,Cgramanders in-Chief o f the Sq u adron of Evolution, turned over to the • Amphion, 36, screw propeller, at Weorvvich. There suit of the official inquiry into the state of- the Retriliuz tion's engines yesterday has not transpired. The , res port of the court was transmitted tosthe Lords. of the Admiralty last night, and she awaits thclir LOrdships' de cision, which has not yet been receired3 ' When she left the squadron, the Prinpe de 'Joinville's force was up the Mediterranean, but tlaikr expected down to cruise off Cadiz and the other southern ports, to pre vent any arms, &c., being landed for the peasantry or the people to use against the authorities favourable to the Montpensier In our mention of the operations of the squadron on Tuesday, we omitted to state that the Cyclops steam frigate, Captain Lapidge, had proved herself so efficient a vessel in all the trials under Sir William Parker, that that officer had pronounced her a most useful and su perior war steamer, and inferior to no ship under his command under sail. We omitted to mention also that when Sir William l'arker discovered the imposition practised by the Ter rible, in exhibiting crossjack and mizentopsail yards, for which she had no sails, the Admiral ordered those yards to be immediately struck. The return home of the St. Vincent, 120, and the Queen, 110, would, we are informed, make Vice-Amiral Parker's squadron vastly inferior to that under the Prince de Joinville. Much dissension and discomfort prevailed on board the St. Vincent by the last advices from the squadron. Major G. E. Balchild, R.M. (1827), of the Queen, 110; died at Cadiz on the 15th, and was , buried on the 16th inst., ashore, with full military honours. The gallant deceased, we are info*ted, was upwards of 60 years of age. Ms services aro thus recorded in Allen's - New Nary List :—" G. E. lialchild was '.Second Lieutenant serving in the Edgar, Discovery;and Meteor, in various actions against flotillas and batteries between Dunkirk and Boulogne, 1805.6 and in the latter was severely wounded at the passage of the Dardanelles, in 1807.

She would repair damages (having sprung her bowsprit) and proceed to New Zealand. The Snake, 16, Commander Brown, was to sail from Simon's-bay on the evening of the 17th, or the morning of the 18th of July, to join Rear-Admiral Dacres in the President, at Madagascar. The Falmouth navy lighter arrived to-day from the eastern yards with stores. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 30.—Her Royal Highness the Princess William of Prussia will embark in the Black Eagle steam-vessel, Master Commander S. B. Cook, at 12 o'clock to-morrow, Oct. 1, at Woolwich Dockyard for a passage to Rotterdam. The Lightning steam-vessel, Master Commander Petley, returned to Woolwich to-day from Grimsby, having towed the Kestrel yacht, with the remains of the late Earl of Yarborough, to that port. The Plover surveying vessel, Captain Collinson, C. 8., is to be paid off at Woolwich on Monday next. CANADIAN AFFAIRS. The following extract from the Montreal Herald pre sents an accurate outline of the condition of affairs in Canada:— (From the Montreal Herald, Sept. 12.) Since our last mail the public mind has been more occupied with Imperial than provincial politics, especi ally since the arrival of the last intelligence from Eng land, with the news of the passage of the British Pos sessions Bill through the House of Commons. We believe all parties must unite in according the praise of consistency to the British Government for this prompt and equitable measure. There appears, how ever, to be some doubts as to the extent to which we should avail ourselves of it. Indeed, the transition from the old colonial system to the new theory of free trade has been so sudden, that the mass of the people here have yet hardly had time to form a decided and intelli gent judgment upon the course to be pursued. We imagine that their final decision will be to sweep away the whole of these burdens. The navigation laws and the free navigation of the St. Lawrence are still being discussed; but the remarks we have made as to the different duties apply with still greater force to them. We have already alluded to the present dullness of Canadian politics. This arises partly from the topics brought upon the carpet during the session of Parlia ment having been already pretty nearly exhausted— from men's attention, at this season, being turned to their business pursuits, and, perhaps, still more from the change in the head of the Government, which naturally induces the " wire pullers" to put off their operations until they can be resumed with a prospect of permanent results. This is the time rather for preparation than for action. The arrival of Lord Elgin will, no doubt, be the signal for a general move. People know so little of this nobleman, that there has been no room for the expression of strong opinion on his appointment. In general, he is understood to be a dis tant relation of some marbles in the British Museum— and that is nearly all. It is of more consequence that he Il+Jlo'ntrea'i,'oa itceonnt of the Ls:chind 'Canal having been elosid4:-This*cork wilt open on , the 20th instant - , anti !,.emo_veshe inconvenience. ~T .r,ora the half-yearly statement of the Banli. of• Mon ttleal, published in the Herald of thellOth 'instant; it 6ppetirs•tliat 'on the 31st of August the assets of this in- . stittitiokweie 1',554;753/.•135., and its liabilities 719;230/, 6d. •Qf the •asspts, 117,504 3d . ., consisted. of :coin and There is to be a meeting of shareholders in the Port land RailwaY Company to-day,• to determine upon the 'course.to.be adopted with such of the English subscribers as desire to withdraw. We have a few arrivals from among• the,autumn fleet : for Montreal, but it is feared many will.be late. '2OO sail have recently readied Quebec. • Her Majesty's ship Vindictive, bearing the flag of Ad miral Austen, is also at Quebec. Her Majesty's schooner Gulnare, Captain Bayfield, is now at Montreal, Captain Bayfield having been applied to to survey the Lake of St. Peter, upon which the Provincial Government has undertaken some very extensive works. The lake is formed by the junction of several rivers with the St. Lawrence, and it is rendered much shallower than the stream by the deposits brought down by them. The object is to deepen a channel for larger vessels than those which now come here; but after a great many , thousand pounds have been laid out, it seems to be gene rally believed that the Acme is impracticable, or that the plan adopted was not the best calculated to car ry it out. Captain Bayfield's advice has, therefore, been sought. The weather has been extremely hot for several weeks, and the St. Lawrence is lower than it has been for many years. PRICE SD. Our wheat crop, there is no doubt, is very large, and it must, for the coming season, depend upon your market to fix the price. If you do not require our surplus, wheat and flour will be lower than they now are in this country. The present price of flour may be put at 4 62-100 dollars per barrel. This may be considered a fair average price, rather stationary, with an upward tendency. That tendency, however, is produced by looking to your market, in the expectation of new orders to purchase at advanced prices. The home market of the United States, in my opinion, will not sustain flour through the season at four and a half dollars per barrel. Our potato crop is suffering considerably with the sari'e disease that is proving such a scourge to Ireland, a species of rot for which no preventive has as yet been discovered Indeed, so far as I can learn, we are now as ignorant of the cause of the disease as we were the first day of its appearance among us. But the loss of the potato crop in this country is not such a disaster as a similar loss would be in Great Britain. Here no families, except a few foreign families of labourers in cities, pre tend to live, even chiefly, upon potatoes. Families of eight to twelve persons rarely consume more than 15 or 20 bushels in a year. The Mexican war progresses slowly. The season and the roads, in part, have prevented General Taylor's army from moving ; in addition to which great difficulty has attended all efforts to procure the necessary means of transportation. These difficulties, however, have in a great measure been removed. The prospects now are, that he will advance with a strong military force, and that he will meet little or no opposition at Montero, and almost without interruption march to the city of Mexico. Such are the opinions of the friends of the Administra tion. Your correspondent entertains very different views. Santa Anna, as you will observe, has arrived at Vera Cruz; whether he " slipt" in, or was permitted to pass the American blockading squadron, is not known, nor is it important. The question is, what will be its effect upon the United States? Will it terminate or procras tinate the war? The impression is universal, that Santa Anna had an American passport, in some way, to enter Vera Cruz.

The public generally are greatly dissatisfied with what appears to be the inactivity of the officer com manding the blockading squadron. —Times.

THE GREAT BRITAIN. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.—We have nothing fresh from the Great Britain this morning, with the exception of the subjoined letter from Captain Hosken, by which it will be perceived he is acquitted of all blame by Cap tain Claxton, secretary to the company. It is stated that one of the coast lights was not marked in Captain Hosken's chart, although it is one of 1846 : " MESSRS. GIBBS, BRIGHT, AND CO._ " Great Britain Steam-ship, Sept. 29. " Dear Sirs,—By the tug I send Mr. Smith with all the cargo she can take ; a few packages may be touched with the fresh water, but I trust not damaged ; all the parcels, &c., are sent ; about 16 packages of cargo are still here. Mr. Smith has account of them. I also send all the useless and troublesome men to get rid of them, and reduce expenses as much as possible. Will you please to send by tug again as soon as possible the largest hemp cable to be got in Liverpool, and a corresponding sized anchor ; indeed, an anchor one-third heavier than the right weight will do better, and two cables ; also two sets of good purchase-blocks, and two 4i falls of white rope (Manilla), and a coil of 3-yarn spun-yarn ? I hope they may be here by Thursday morning. We should have two tugs here on Saturday, as the tide on that day will be higher than the day we came ashore. Send also the large Scotch blocks, if you please. " The weather is now moderate, but rainy ; the ship makes very little water. I hope to commence discharg ing coals to• day. Please to send copies of this, and of all my letters, to my directors at Bristol. Captain Claxton camp yesterday. " Many thanks for all your expressions of sympathy and good feeling. I want them all, I assure you ; but my conscience acquits me of blame, and so does Captain Claxton, who publicly told me so yesterday. " I am, yours very truly, " JAMES lIOSKEN." The Great Britain now lies broadside on to the bay— a worse position than formerly. Most part of her cargo arrived this morning by the Dreadnought steam-tug. DEATII FROM INTOXICATION.—Yesterday an in quest was held before Mr. W. Baker, at the Gr:ffin, Leonard street, Shoreditch, on the body of Mrs. Ann 'Metcalf, aged forty-seven, the wife of a hairdresser, re siding in the Curtain-road. It appeared from the evi dence that the deceased was of very intemperate habits, and for the last three weeks she had been in a dreadful state of intoxication. On Monday morning last she complained of violent pains in her head. She resorted to her favourite beverage, and drank an immoderate quantity of gin. She continued to get worse, and in the evening she threw henelf on the bed in a very ex hausted condition. A surgeon was sent for, but she ex pired almost immediately afterwards. Ile attributed death to excessive drinking. A verdict was returned accordingly. LATE FROM HAVANNAH.

(From the New York Herald.) The following letter from Lord Aberdeen explains the nature of the mission with which Mr. [food comes charged:— (Translated from the Gaceta.) "TO MS EXCELLENCY SENOR ARANA, &C. " Sir,—The Queen my Sovereign being sincerely de sirous of removing every cause of misunderstanding be tween her Government and the Government of the Argentine Confederation, and of restoring the relations of the two countries to their customary footing of friendship and cordiality, has been pleased to direct Mr. T. S. Hood, who for several years discharged the office of her Majesty's Consul-General at Monte Video, to set out immediately for Buenos Ayres, for the purpose of communicating with your Excellency and the Argentine Government. " Mr. Hood is charged to transmit confidentially to your Excellency certain propositions on the part of Great Britain and France, founded in a great measure on those communicated to the two powers on the 26th of October, 1845, by the Government of Buenos Ayres, with a view to the arrangement of the difficulties exist ing in the Rio de la Plata. I trust that the propositions which Mr. Hood will make known to your Excellency, and which are dictated by the most anxious desire of putting an end to a state of things highly injurious to the interests of an parties, will appear acceptable to the Government of Buenos Ayres. " Mr. Hood is likewise bearer of similar propositions from the French Government, which he will deliver to your Excellency. " From the thorough knowledge Mr. Hood possesses of everything relating to the interests of the two coun tries, I trust that the choice that has been made of him for this service will be agreeable to the Government of Buenos Ayres. I request that your Excellency will re ceive him in a favourable manner, and give entire credit to whatever he may eommunicate to you on the part of the British Government. " I flatter myself that the Government of the Argen tine Confederation will recognise in the step thus taken by the Governments of Great Britain and France the strongest evidence of their anxiety to cultivate a good and friendly understanding with the Confederation. I have the honour to be, with the highest consideration, Sir, your Excellency's most obedient and humble ser vant, " ABERDEEN." AMERICAN AFFAIRS. NEW YORK, SEPT. 15.—Since the date of my last letter, very little change in the affairs of the United States has taken place. The Government have, it is thought, discovered that the war with Mexico was as unnecessary as it is extravagant and unprofitable ; butif the Government have not made this discovery, the Ame rican people have. Everything in relation to business is in a state of un certainty; all present importations are made on a falling market, while the season for commercial operations is rapidly gliding away. Among the importers of dry goods, the month of September is presumed to decide, in some measure, the character of the season for business. It is in this month that our jobbers generally make their largest purchases. This is a class of dealers between the importer and the country merchant. If any opinion is to be formed of the business of the season by the pur chases they have made, that opinion will be unfavour able. Their purchases have been cautious and limited, principally at auction. The auction sales of domestic manufactures, when compared with foreign fabrics, have been large. Under the influence of the new tariff, the manufacturers, in most cases, appear to be panic-stricken, and arc empty ing their warehouses, and sending the contents to public auction. In most cases sales are effected at a very peat loss compared to the selling prices previous to the pas sage of the new tariff. Whether, by reducing the price of the raw material and the wages of the labourer, &c., they can obtain enough by these auctions to replace their old stock is the great question. If they can they will be satisfied to run their manufactories for a year or two without the expectation or hope of obtaining one cent of profit, but in the full belief that the next Congress will repeal the present tariff law. On the subject of repeal, everything depends on the political character of the next congressional House of Representatives. The present House have to serve another short session, from December, 1846, to March 1847. If the manufacturing party should have a firm and decided majority in the next House, favourable to a repeal of the present tariff law, I do not think that the Senate would defeat the Repeal Bill, and I am sure that the President has had puite as much to do with vetoes as he wishes. Such are my views in relation to a con tinuance of the tariff. But whether we shall or shall not have a Tariff-Flou3e, is matter of great doubt. THE BRAZILS. FALMOUTH, SEPT. 29.—Her Majesty's packet Peterel, Lieut. Creser, arrived to-day from the Brazils with the mails and several passengers. A direct arrival from the River Plate, however, put us in possession, some days ago, of much later advices from the seat of war ; and a vessel arrived on Thursday last from Pernambuco reported later intelligence from the northern parts of the Brazils. Tho Peterel sailed from Rio de Janeiro, Aug. 5 ; Bahia, Aug. 19 ; and from Pernambuco, Aug. 26. She had on freight about 20,0004 more or less ; and the following passengers :--Coitnt • St. Martin, Messrs. Shepherd, Rick, Cottrell; .Sregman, Downes, Burton and child; Tucker, lady, and ,children ; Dr. M'Cormack and son ; and Mr.-Tully and servant. Her' Majesty's ships Grecian, Seagull (following packet), and Spider remained at Rio. Also the American ships Bainbridge, Columbia, and Constitution, with the French sloop of war Proserpine. It was intended that the Brazilian frigate, Constitution, should leave for England about the •10th inst., bearing the pendant of Admiral Grenfell, on board of which it was rumoured that Mr. Hamilton would be a passenger. The Spider announced, on' her arrival at Rio from Monte Video, that a cessation of war had taken place between the bel ligerents, but which rumour must relate to the tem porary notification of a cessation, of the character of which later accounts thence have already informed the British public. The Peterel spoke yesterday, in ion. BW., the George town, from Colombia for London, and reports to have seen at Rio on the 31st of July the Rozannah Crown, Tynemouth _Castle, Light of the Harem, Emilia, Indus, Gipsy, Agenoria, John Cock, George, J. T. Carr, Sa muel Spyvel, Equator, Medora, Harmony, and Levenside. The Empress was safely delivered of a Princess on the 27th of July, on which auspicious event being announced a succession of grand gala days ensued. Of mercantile news there is little of importance. The Price Current of July 31 states— " The further detention of the Peterel packet induces us to publish the present number, which, from the limited amount of business since our last, could otherwise be de layed until the report of the month could be presented. " Coffee—Prices have been unaltered during the week, in which about 30,000 bags have been sold, but the mar ket is rather flat as regards the lower qualities. Shipped during July, 137,974 bags, of which for the Cape of Good Hope 4,680 bags ; for Cowes, 4,630; for Hamburgh, 3,630 ; for London, 594 ; for United States, 5,200 ; for New York, 3 , 000 ; for River Plate, 42." _ Sugar—None at market, 160 cakes arrived July 31. Hides—Not a sale reported. Market Sat. MONEY MARKET. —Discounts continued to be freely obtained. Exchange.—ln expectation of the sailing of the packet on July 26, transactions were brought to a close on July 24, when 15,0001. were passed upon London at 26/ pence ; nor had the subsequ ent detention of the packet materially increased the amount of business, which, since our last, may be estimated at 45,0001., at 26f pence and 27 pence for interest bills. Exchange upon Paris, 348. The amount taken by the Treasury for this packet is 20,0001. upon London ; upon France, 260,000 francs. In stock but a few transactions at 78 to 78g. Freights for the Channel, 325. 6d. to 355. ALARMING COLLISION ON THE NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. Yesterday morning, between the hours of two and three, a collision of a most serious nature occurred upon the London and North-Western Railway, near the Wat ford station, between two goods trains, by which two men, a stoker and engine -driver, were very seriously injured. At the time stated, a train, consisting entirely of goods carriages, approached near to the Watford sta tion, at what is stated to have been the regular speed. Another train, likewise a goods one, was proceeding in the same direction. The morning being extremely foggy and dark, the engine-driver of the latter train, it is supposed, could not see the one in front, for his en gine ran against the rear of the other train with great violence. The train in advance, and also the driver and stoker, escaped without any injury. The second train, however, was not so fortunate, for it was forced off the line, and the stoker, a young man named Thomas Cole, together with Henry Gibbs, the engine -driver, were precipitated one under the engine, and the other between the tender and engine. The latter had both his legs broken, and Cole received a compound fracture of the rig ht ancle. As soots ; as possible the line was cleared, a work of no little diffi culty, but it was accomplished in time to allow the mail train to pass along the next hour after the accident. Both men were taken to the University College Hos pital, where it was then found necessary, in order to save the life of Gibbs, to resort to amputation, and at seven o'clock last evening we ascertained that he and his companion Cole were both going on as favourably as could be expected. The following is the official report : " An unfortunate accident occurred on the London and North-Western Railway, at the Watford station, between two and three this (Wednesday) morning, to the engine-driver and fireman of a goods train, arising from the heedlessness of the former. The first goods train had been delayed on the road, between Wolverton and Leighton, by the failure of power in the engine which drew it. From the station it was assisted to Tring by the second goods train, and thence to London ; the road being on an incline nearly the whole way, it was allowed to proceed without further assistance, and stopped at Watford according to regulation. There the usual signals were exhibited to prohibit any other train from entering the station. The signals for caution were also exhibited by the policeman at each end of the tunnel, and the night being foggy there was additional reason for the enginemen of the second train, who were per fectly aware that the other could not be far ahead, to advance with the greatest care. Unhappily this I% AS not observed, and coming into collision with the train in front, the engineman and fireman of No. 72 engine had both fractures of the legs. The poor men were, as early as possible, removed to the North London Hospital, and in one case at least amputation of the limb will be ne cessary." TFIE SUSPECTED POISONING IN ESSEX.—Yesterday morning an inquest was commenced before Mr. C. 6. Lewis, at' the Cock Inn, Mamden, a village near (la yering, on the body of the child P. Taylor, whose death from the effects of poison, administered, as it-is alleged, by Sarah Chesham, has been already recorded. A mass of evidence was taken, which repeated and confirmed in great measure the facts elicited before the magis trates at the time the woman Chesham was committed for trial, and the proceedings were adjourned for a fort tight, to allow of full proof from a post mortem exami nation and analysis whether death was the result of tl:e poison administered.

THE APPREHENDED FAMINE. ' FORM OF PUBLIC PRAYER. Ilis Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, agreeably to the order of the Privy Council, has issued the follow ing form of prayer to Almighty God for relief from the dearth and scarcity now existing in parts of the United Kingdom, owing to the failure of some of the crops of the present year. To be read in all churches and chapels of England and \Vales, on Sunday, the 11th of October, and the two following Sundays:-- " A FORM OF PRAYER TO 'ALMIGHTY GOD. " 0 God, at whose bidding the earth, which sustaineth the life of man, hath withholden in parts of these islands the wonted provision of food, and turned abundance into scarcity, withdraw, we beseech Thee, the judgment of which we are justly afraid, that the poor perish not by famine. " We acknowledge, 0 Lord, that by our strifes and divisions, misuse of Thy gifts, and forgetfulness of Thy manifold mercies, we have justly deserved punishment. We have sinned; we have grievously sinned against Thee. Yet knowing that Thou art full of compassion, we beseech Thee to pardon the offences of Thy people, to relieve the peor and the needy.in their present neces sities, and to give and preserve to our use the fruits'fa the earth in mall its seasons. .•-.. •• • " But Whatsoever may be Thy pleasure concerning he, give us geaCe to receive Thy disOnsatiousevibethei of judgment .

Amen." The prayer is ordered to be read immediately before the Litany; and when the Litany shall not be read, be fore the prayer for all conditions of men. THE REGISTRATIONS. CITY OF LONDON. At half-past ten o'clock yesterday. morning the nevi's mg Barrister resumed the revision of the lists of house holders of the city of London. The list for the day consisted of the names of persons resident in the parish of St. Botolph Without, Bishopsgate. Shortly after the sitting of the court, Mr. Browne wished to make an observation with re spect to Mr. Meyrick's case, which had been decided by the Revising Barrister on Saturday. Mr. Meyrick had no intention of appealing to the Court of Common Pleas, but he wished to say that in the judgment given by the Court there was a remark made which was not sustained by the evidence read to Mr. Meyrick, and that was, that he held this place to have a vote for the City, and that I was not the fact. The BARRISTER said, he had this note in his book of the statement made by Mrs. Sarah Baker, one of the witnesses. She stated that Mr. Meyrick once said that he kept the room for the purpose of protecting his vote. Mr. Brown said, that Mr. Meyriek wished him to state that that was not the case; that he did not occupy the place for the purpose of protecting his vote, but that he occupied it for use. That appeared to be the main ground for disallowing the vote, and he called the atten tion of the Court to it for this purpose, that if the case should be opened next year it should not have an in jurious effect. Mr. Meyrick said that he did not recollect having ever made the statement imputed to him by Sarah Baker. The BARRISTER observed that he certainly thought the point referred to by Mr. Browne was a strong fac t the case, but he did not think it would alter the decision, for he had made a similar decision in Mr. Smith's esee, in which there was not that fact. The real ground for the decision was, that the place was not used or in tended to be used for the purpose of residence, but merely for a temporary occupation when the party was in town. Mr. Browne said that if that point had not been so severely commented upon by the Court he would take a case to the Common Pleas at his own expense, for he thought that without that there would be a qualification. The list of the parish of St. Botolph was revised, thereby finishing the ward of Bishopsgate. No case requiring particular notice came before the Court. The following is the result : Failed or Sustained. Withdrawn. 7 26 154 72 67 .•• 4 1 .. 6 0 ... 1 Liberal objections Tory ditto Double ditto Liberal claims Tory claims FALL OF A MANUFACTORY AND Loss OF LIFE. —Between eleven and twelve o'clock yesterday morning the inhabitants of Burfield were alarmed by a loud crash followed by cries for aid, occasioned by the falling in of a building used as a rope mat manufactory. The build ing consisted of one large room on the basement, and another immediately over it. From ten to fifteen per sons were usually employed in the upper room. In the rear of the factory is a plot of ground which has been excavated to a considerable depth for building purposes, and the wall of the manuf ac tory next to the excavated ground having given way, nearly the entire building fell into the hollow. he scene that presented itself to the lookers-on was heartrending in the extreme. Many of the workpeople were lying around, partially buried amongst the falling rubbish. A number of persons were quickly engaged in extricating the suflbrers, several of whom were conveyed to the infirmary seriously injured. The bodies of a man and a girl, both quite dead, were afterwards dug out of the ruins. It has been ascertained that there were eleven persons at work in the manufac tory when the accident occurred—namely, four men, three women, and four children. Nine out of the num ber are more or less injured. One man has a broken leg and bead severely injured, and another of the men several ribs fractured and both arms dislocated. Two of the women and one of the children have sustained some severe injuries, but the remainder of the persons who were within the building have escaped with compa ratively but slight injury. EXECUTION AT PARIS.—On Friday morning, Jean Petry, the waiter at a coffee-house at St. Ouen, who, it will be remembered, was last month tried and found guilty of the murder of his mistress, after having at ' tempted to violate her person, and afterwards robbing the house, was executed at the Barriere St. Jacques. Ile retained to the last moment the same revolting indiffer ence which he has evinced ever since the committal of his threefold crime, and when ascending the steps of the scaffold he stopped for a moment, and coolly called out in German to an acquaintance in the crowd, and asked him whether his (Petry's) uncle was present. Almost the entire commune of St. Ouen was present at the exe cution. 2 i
