We ought not to repine at the loss, and yet it is difficult to avoid yielding to the natural sentiments of sorrow that seem spontaneously to follow the historical and social reflections to which the intelligence of his death inevitably gives rise. Philosophy would teach us that gratitude, and not regret, should reign predominant in our minds, in that PROVIDENCE permitted the late apostle of hu manity to attain unto the lengthened age of eighty-six, and that he was suffered to dwell among us for nearly forty years after he had spread a halo around his name which may well be envied by the greatest potentates of the world. We should be grateful to think, that in THOMAS CLARKSON we had an instance of the inten sity with which the noblest aspirations may animate and absorb our frail nature, such, that no difficulties, however apparently insuperable, cannot be overcome, where dauntless courage, indomitable zeal, and purity of soul are found in felicitous combination; and yet, bowing to the rectitude of these philosophical dictates, we are unable to repress an instinctive grief, that one of philanthrophy's brightest ornaments is reckoned among the dead. Regard being had to the con tracted span of human existence, CLARKSON may be likened to a brilliant star that has shot across the firmament, and attracted admiration from every quarter of the globe ; and, though the meteor itself is now lost to our view, a vast train of light still mellows the sphere of its glorious path. We could well have wished that the ruthless hand of time had spared the venerable subject of our lament till he should have witnessed, by surviving a few more years, that the effects of establishing free trade in sugar, which has just been sanctioned by Parliament, were at variance with the honourable and benevolent fears which CLARKSON entertained and emphatically embodied in the lengthened petition he recently laid before the Legislature. It was perhaps but too natural, that at his advanced period of life, he should have been tenaciously apprehensive, from the specious arguments put forward, that his glorious handiwork of human emancipation might be defaced, by opening our ports to sugar the produce of slave as well as of free labour, and we should therefore have rejoiced had he not sunk into the grave till he had gained a conviction of the fallacy of his con clusions. In a short time we shall perceive that the notion of a prejudicial impulse having been imparted to slave labour by the late Sugar Duties Act, is utterly groundless. it seems to be almost an impugnment of the good ness of the CREATOR to allege that competition be• tween free and slave labour will end in the annihila tion of the former—to hold, that the lashed and manacled victim of the avaricious and unfeeling tyrant of the soil, will, in the end, surpass, in pro ductive powers, the unshackled and well-conditioned labourer of the sons of regeneration. With the spread of civilisation will the concomitant arts be invariably found in her train ; and, through the introduction into other climes of the vast im provements in machinery, by which manual labour is so successfully, and, in so large a measure, super seded in this country, it will be seen, that freedom, whenever established, will bear away the palm from ,livery. But, though it has been decreed that CLARKSON should not live to become sensible of the truth of this proposition, yet by few men, if ever by any one, could there have been enjoyed a more sub lime retrospect than that which his own life must have afforded tohimself. After passing through college with much distinction, he penned a Latin essay upon ague,- - n propounded by the Vice-Chancellor of the Uni versity, of whether men should make slaves of others against their will ? The success of this essay is noto rious. It was owing to this singular circumstance that his mind became awakened to the frightful horrors perpetrated in the middle passage, and that he resolved to devote his entire life towards arousing England to use her majestic influence with other countries to put down the atrocious slave tras h ['his resolution was taken about the year 178.5. By the enthusiasm with which he followed up: the noble mission he had undertaken, and the unclouded intellect of which he was the fortunate possessor, he gained over at different times, as fellow-labourers in the same vineyard, such men as WILBERFORCE, PITT, and other illustrious statesmen. lie spared no exertion, and he encoun tered every danger to forward the great scheme of his ambition. He braved the langers of the French revolution—he pleaded for millions of miserable beings before the Autocrat of the RUSSIAS, and not in vain. Anti slavery associations every where started up at his bidding. lie inoculated the minds of nations, and our own in particular, with the genius of his philan throphy. His single mind originated the pulsation that beat at length from one end of the country to the other, till, in 1807, and by a favourable conjuncture of public affairs, his great ob ject was accomplished, and the Imperial Legislature enacted that the slave trade should no longer tolerated. In 1833 another measure—the natural fruit of the first —was carried, and the enormous sum of 20,000,0001. was paid, by which slavery was abolihed for ever in our West Indian possessions. To review such mighty deeds, such unequalled civil triumphs ; and to feel that, under the blessing of PROVIDENCE, he had been constituted the chief in strument for bringing them to a happy issue, must indeed have been a retrospect delightful beyond all description. No higher eminence could be reached by man, no goodlier prospect enjoyed by mortal vision. All peace to his ashes I We on Monday directed the public attention to the recent food riots at Youghal and Kilkenny. The first we considered in a great degree owing to the negligence and apathy of the local authorities in not taking earlier steps for the relief of the destitution that unhappily prevailed in the vicinity, in not having paid sufficient attention to the represen- tations put forward at the peaceable meeting that had been held. Nearly a week before the disturbance we pointed out the formidable results that might be occasioned by any exhibition of fear and timidity. In suffering the people to suppose that clamour and violence would be successful in obtaining that which would not be accorded from motives of charity and philanthrophy, every consideration that could influence the human mind urged that there should no longer be any delay or postponement of the necessary employment, that im• mediate steps should be taken in every district throughout the kingdom in setting to work the starv ing multitude, and in ascertaining that there was a sufficiency of food at reasonable prices, easily ac cessible. Already the ill effects of this procrastination, and of the superior efficacy of violent demonstrations in procuring for the people the wished-for relief, is pain fully apparent. Our Irish intelligence communicates accounts of outrages and disturbances of a most seri ous character. Cloyne, Fermoy, Castlemartyr, Kilworth, have all been the scenes of similar exhibi tions ; the flour and provision shops have been rifled, the bakers have, generally speaking, made a merit of necessity, and quietly surrendered the bread in their possession, in order to avoid the damage and loss that would probably take place in its forcible seizure. The pastors and religious instructors of the people, men whose influence is unbounded, and whose exhortations are generally listened to with respect and implicit obedience, have in vain interposed, their advice has been disregarded, and in some instances they have been personally insulted. Resident magistrates and landlords, whose unwearied exertions and activ®be nevolence should have made them in the hi?hest de gree popular, have had their reaidences visited by threatening and infuriated mobs, or their persons attacked and their lives endangered. A threatening notice was thrust under the door of the Earl of MouNecasueLL, and later in the day a numerous body of rioters attempted to break in the demesne gate at Moor Park, his Lordship's residence, and were only deterred from the attempt by the timely approach of a body of police who appeared inside the grounds. At Castlemartyr, the seat of the Earl of SHANNON, the mob obtained admission into the demesne, and threathened to pull down the castle I over his Lordship's head and to return the following day in increased force fur that purpose, but these occurrences are far surpassed in atrocity by the ferocious attack made on Lord STUART DE DECIES, the Lord-Lieutenant of the county of Waterford, on his return from the Extraordinary Presentment Ses sions for the barony of Decies-within-Drum, held at Clashmore (within three miles of Youghal), over which his Lordship had presided. Nearly every vote asked for had been granted, and sums, amounting to several thousand pounds, had been voted at the meet ing, in order at once to afford the required relief; but the people had unfortunately witnessed the fruits of turbulence at Youghal, that the riots there bad ob tained instant work for 500 labourers, and they forth with proceeded to still greater extremities. Imme diately on his Lordship leaving the Sessions-house he was greeted with menaces and threats, and the most opprobrious epithets were applied to him. With diffi culty he reached his carriage, and only effected his escape, through the aid afforded by a party of hussars, on whom they made a violent attack, assail ing them with sticks, stones, and all other available missiles. Many of the soldiers, who behaved most admirably, were severely hurt, and they had finally to take refuge in the Earl of HUNTINGDON'S farm yard. Mr. T. J. FITZGERALD, J.P., a Roman Catholic gentleman of considerable property and in fluence, was also assaulted, and it is said had a narrow escape of his life. We have ever been the advocates of the Irish peasantry ; we have pointed out their grievances, have sympathised with their distresses, have justified them when unduly assailed, and have denounced the evils and the injustice that have led to many of their errors ; we have anxiously sought out the means by which their condition may be ameliorated, and the capa bilities of their country fully developed, and have urged the adoption of such measures on the Government and Legislature ; but it is impos sible to palliate or defend conduct such as we have just described. If such returns are made for the exertions used on their behalf, if the noblemen and gentlemen who reside on and improve their estates, who afford employment and give their re spective neighbourhoods the benefits resulting from large establishments and ample expenditure, are to be thus insulted and outraged with impunity, what can the misguided people hope for or expect, but that they will be deprived of advantages which they do not duly appreciate ? For their own sakes it is neces sary that the most vigorous measures should be adopted for the repression of such outrages, and the bringing the ringleaders to condign punishment. The safety of the country is at this moment trem bling in the balance—on the gentry depends the issue. If they desire that the peace and tranquillity of their country should be preserved, we should, per haps, say restored, they must afford relief with no stinted or niggard hand ; every well authenticated ease of destitution, must be promptly dealt with, the wants of the several districts must be anti cipated with discretion and foresight, but the majesty of the law must also be vindicated, and riot and outrage must be visited with its due reward. It is cheering to turn from the contemplation of this dark picture to the steps that have been, and are likely to be, taken for the public relief. The Lord Chancellor of Ireland has justified the high expectations that were entertained on his Lordship's accession to the seals. Ile has just issued the most useful and salutary instructions to the guardians, committees, and receivers of the estates of minors and lunatics, calling their attention to the previsions of the Drainage Act of last session, with a view to their having inquiries made as to the conditions of the respective estates in reference to the objects of the Acf, and whether it can be beneficially applied to their imppovement. And he states, that when it is ascertained that the Act can be so applied, it will be their duty to lay a statement of facts before the Master, who is to decide whether applications for an advance should he made, and to give instructions ac cordingly. his Lordship also directs that if they shall find that any other works of improvement may be beneficially undertaken, they are to make similar statements, that the Master may judge whether he will direct any proceedings to be had for obtaining an order of the Court on the subject. This conduct is worthy of the exalted position and amiable and benevolent character of his Lord ship, and affords a brilliant example to the several landowners throughout the country. It points out the duties incidental to their property. It is also said, that Parliament will assemble early in No vember, and that the Lord-Lieutenant has, in the strongest terms, urged the necessity of such a step on the Government, and that his Excellency has pressed for authority to carry into immediate opera tion the plans for relief by reproductive works, lead ing to the permanent improvement of the soil by drainage or otherwise, and to trust to a Parliamen tary indemnity in case it should be thought con trary to the letter of the Relief Act. There is ne doubt that such an indemnity would be unhesi tatingly and unanimously accorded. We sincerely hope that our information may be well founded, and that, ere many days have claimed, we may see the , labouring population of Ireland employed on useful works, which may be productive of lasting benefit to ;he country. Madrid papers of the 23d September have arrived The Leo del Comercio, the Clamor Public°, the Espcctador, and the Nuevo Especlador were all seized on the 22d. The editors of these journals published a joint protest on the '23d. "Despite," say they, "o. the fines and other miseries daily inflicted on us by the Ministry, and of their dread of the press's disclo sures, which such desperate rigours sufficiently prove, we shall continue to write, not as circumstances re. quire, but as the caprice of our governors may permit —not as in countries where the constitutional system prevails, but as we may in Spain under an arbitrar3 domination Let, therefore, the saga city of our readers supply what we are obliged to dissemble. The silence of the press will hereafter be the most eloquent imputation that will be levelled at the present Government." The Espanol of the 23d was seized for re-publiih ing an article from the Times. The Herald() publishes the following on the subject of Mr. BuLwEst's protest : " Fresh rumours have spread this day as to the active steps the English Ambassador is adopting, in order to create obstacles to the union between the Infanta and the Duke de Montpensier. We wish not to affirm that the information we have on the subject is quite official, but we are still persuaded that it is far more positive than the information of certain ether prints, which behold but protests and threats whereby the marriage of the sister of our Queen will not take place. We believe that her Britannic Majesty's Envoy has written no other note on the affair in question ; and the Imparcial of last night confirms our belief of it. According to our information, all that exists on the subject is but a communication of the English Minis ter for Foreign Affairs to our Minister for tho same department, in which the serious complications that may hereafter arise from th e crowns of France and Spain being united on the same head, aro dwelt upon. As our readers see, tho weak argument adduced by our oppo nents—an argument founded on such remote proba bilities that it is beyond human calculation—clearly proves that the remonstrances of the English Cabinet are of intro form, and that it does not even attempt to oppose any serious resistance to the projected marriage, because it finds no plausible pretence for acting in such way. The conduct of the English Cabinet on this occasion may be aptly compared with that which it held when the Frencii conquered Algeria. It protested against, without in any way touching on a fait accompli.. Never theless, we must again say that on the present occasion no protest has taken place. Moreover, if we be well in formed, the English Cabinet complains that a foreign influence has prevailed in this question. It appears that some communications on the subject have been ex changed between the English and French Governments; but it is not tho less true that the principal fact exists, and that nobody thinks of opposing the Infanta's marriage, for to deprive foreign diplomacy of all pre tences, the Duke de Muntpensier's renunciation of all eventual rights to the throne of France would suffice." If this renunciation would suffice, why, it may naturally be asked, is not this renunciation made, and foreign diplomacy thus deprived of all pretences for interference ? We believe there can be very little doubt of the fact, that OA the 22d Mr. 13uLwEn presented to Senhor ISTURITZ a formal protest 1 against the marriage. M. SALAMANCA, who was absent from the Chamber of Deputies when the vote was taken on the subject of granting to the Ministers the authorisation to levy taxes, asked that his name might be added to that of the opponents of the Bill. The revised tariff will be presented to the Cortes early in the ensuing session. MADRID 110iSA, SEPT. 23.—The Three per Cents. were done at 35-, 1 , for cash; the Four per Cents. at 22; the Five per Cents. at 22 5-16; the Debt without interest, at 64 ; and the Coupuns, at 201. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. The Duke DE MONTPENSIER and the Duke D'A um sLE left Paris for Madrid on Monday morning, by railroad for Tours, from whence they would pro ceed without delay to Bordeaux, which they would reach on Tuesday morning, and proceed to Bayonne the same day. On the Ist October they are to leave Bayonne, enter Spain at Irun, and proceed, by way of Tolosa, Vittoria, Burgos, and Segovia, to Madrid, where they will arrive on the sth. The Journal des Debats of Monday still main tains that no protest had been presented to M. GUIZOT by Lord NORMANDY against the Montpensier marriage. "The British Minister of Foreign Affairs," it says, has sent to the British Ambassador at Paris a dispatch, with instructions for its being read and a copy left with the French Minister - for Foreign Affairs, and that dispatch manifested the dissent of the English Government in the most amicable terms. "We think it right to repeat, that in spite of all he rumours to the contrary, the two marriages will be celebrated at the period which has been desig nated, and we persist in thinking and saying that the differences to which this resolution may have given rise, however much they may be to be re- gretted, are not of a nature to compromise the pacific relations between the three Governments." The same paper states up to the 22d no protest had been presented at Madrid. This is so far correct, because it was on the 22d that Mr. BULWER sent a protest, in the name of his Government, against the Montpensier marriage. " Finding that neither the counsels, the interests, the wishes, nor the friendly feelings of England were in the slightest degree regarded or taken into consideration, Mr. BULWER was compelled to present, as a last measure, a formal prGtest." At a Cabinet Council held on Sunday, the reply to the memorandum of Lord PALMERSTON was agreed upon. M. GUIZOT was charged with drawing it up in conciliatory and measured terms, and with transmit ting it to the Count DE JARNAC,to be by.him delivered to Lord PALMERSTON. The French Carlists declare that the Count DE MONTEMOLIN is in Navarre, having entered Spain disguised as a priest by the bridge of Behobia. The strictest surveillance is maintained over all the Spanish refugees, Carlist as well as Progressista. General PRIM has been honoured by a domi ciliary visit. General RODIL and Senhor DE SANTA CUZ, the latter a former aide-de-camp of ESPARTERO, are watched constantly at Bor deaux, from which place, however, notwithstand ing the vigilance of the police General SEOANE has succeeded in effecting his escape, and has entered Spain. The price of wheat was rising in all the towns of France, and all that was brought into the market was immediately bought up. Marshal BUGEAUD has been ordered to proceed immediately to Algiers, to watch the movements of ARD-EL-KADER in Morocco. The Presse announces that the French squadron was not to quit the Mediterranean. It was to be formed into two divisions, one of which, commanded by the Prince DE JOINVILLE, was to sail for the coast of Spain.

LATER FROM THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, Six O'CLOCK, A.M. Shortly after four o'clock this morning the boom ing noise of cannon announced the approach of the royal mail steam-ship Britannia, Captain Hewitt ; she sailed from Boston on the Ist, and Halifax on the 3d, and has therefore made a fair average pas sage, bringing 50 passengers, and the semi-monthly mails from Canada and the United States. The steam- ship Cambria, which sailed from Liverpool on the 4th instant, had not reached Boston when the Britannia sailed. The news by this arrival is ten days later than that previously received. The Courier and Enquirer of the 15th instant says : In political matters there is little variation since our last paper. The rumour which has reached us by the way of Jamaica of the capture of Monterey, in Cali fornia, by the American squadron, and which was hardly credited, has since been confirmed. The proclamation. of Commodore Stoat, commanding the American naval forces in the Pacific, dated 6th of July, has been re ceived. On that day he entered the harbour of Mon terey, and in his proclamation called on the Califor nians to remain tranquil, assuring them that he came as a friend to the people, and that California was destined to form part and parcel of the great Federal Union. Several weeks ago, the Lexington store ship sailed from this port for California with stores, ammunition, and cannon, and having on board a company of United States Artillery—in order to aid in the permanent esta blishment of the authority and jurisdiction of the United States in that region. A regiment, 800 strong, will embark hero to-morrow with the same destination, in three large transports, now lying off Governor's Island, in this harbour, where the California regiment is encamped. This corps is abundantly supplied with all the materiel for constructing and arming fortifications, and is alto gether a very efficient force, so that it is obvious that the of permanent objects anep aimed ossession at o f f ro U m pp ti e le r C co a m lif m or e n n i c a em ha e s a be o r f none hos tilities, and which is not, under any circumstances, likely to be relinquished. The operations on the coast of tho gulf of Mexico have been inactive. The return of Santa Anna to Mexico may or may not promote a pacific arrangement with the United States. Overtures to such an end have been transmitted to him from the President of the United States through Commodore Connor, command ing the gulf squadron. Santa Anna reached Vera Cruz on the 16th of August, and was received with open arms. We have no account yet of his having reached the city of Mexico, but everything there was ready for his cordial reception. The latest dates from Vera Cruz are of the 29th ult. At that time the dispatches of the President for Commodore Connor had been received, and communication was immediately had with Vera Cruz by means of a flag. What the nature of the pro positions of this Governmeet is, or what the reception they are likely to meet with from Santa Anna, is, as yet, mere conjecture. The United States brig of war Truxton was lost on a shoal off Tuppan, about 120 miles north Vera Cruz, on 14th ult. Her commander, Captain Carpender, with the majority of his officers and crew, surrendered themselves prisoners to the Mexicans. Lieutenant Hunter, one other lieutenant, and 14 men, escaped to the squadron in a small Mexican schooner, which they captured with ono of the boats of the Truxton. Meantime the war on the Rio Grande languishes— the season and the want of sufficient waggon trains alike forbidding active operations. The next accounts, how ever, from Camargo will probably communicate news of the first forward movements of the invading columns that are to penetrate the interior. General Kearney was at the last dates, 3d ultimo, ad vancing rapidly from Bent's Fort upon Santa Fe. His force of 1,500 men was almost too large for his supplies and for the rapidity of his movements—and more thigh enough to overcome any resistance he was likely to meet with on the march or on reaching Santa Fe. He was husbanding his resources, and had put his men on half rations. One of the marking events of the last fortnight is the return of Mr. M'Lane, late Minister to London, and the reply which he made to a congratulatory ad dress of the Chamber of Commerce of this city. The address and reply will be found in this paper, and therefore we abstain from comment other than to say, that the kind things uttered in the British Parliament about Mr. M'Lane and his good agency in bringing the Oregon negotiation to a fortunate and satisfactory ter mination have not, as both the address of the President of the New York Chamber of Commerce and the reply of Mr. M'Lane will testify—fallen upon barren ground. Mr. M'Lane is to be entertained by the merchants and citizens of New York, at a public dinner, as soon as the melting state of the atmosphere shall give place to autumnal freshness. The state of our money market is, if not easy, at least tranquil. There is a large amount of capital waiting the chance of continued war or speedy peace. At pre sent United States Six per Cent. Stocks can be sold at from 104 to 105 per cent., yet contracts for the delivery of this stock at a future period, of from six to twelve months, at 102, at the option of the seller are making. This indicates the general persuasion, that if the war be continued, the Government would come into the market for a considerable loan, which would of course hove a tendency to depress the present price of United States Stocks. On the other hand, should the prospect of speedy peace be increased, stocks would rise. But in any event it seems the general opinion that the Govern ment will need more money than it yet has raised. There can be no new loan, however, without authority of Congress, unless indeed—which does not seem pro bable—the Secretary of the Treasury, instead of issuing in Treasury notes, the whole amount authorised to be borrowed by the Act of July last, shall resort to a loan for a part thereof. The convenience of the Treasury notes, however, is so great and within a reasonable amount, their currency at par is so certain, that it is not probable any loan will be attempted. A considerable amount of these notes have made their appearance here, within a few days from New Orleans, e here, owing to some demur on the part of the collector to receive them in payment for duties to the United States—as upon the face of the notes themselves they are made receivable—they fell to a discount of from 2 to 4 per cent. ; they were eagerly bought at that for a remittance to the north ; and as they are received here, as indeed they are now at New Orleans, by the Custom house, they are at par. The Cotton crop of this year, it is quite safe to say, is of less promise than that of the last, which fell short of that of the preceding year about 352,000 bales. It is, ho . wever, too early in the season to speak posi tively, or even approximatively, of the yield of the growing crop ; but there are some facts that are cer tain—first, that the season is unusually backward, so that, according to the New Orleans Prise Current of tho sth instant, only 140 bales of the growth of the pre sent year had been received there at that date, against 6,846 bales last year, and 5,720 of the year previous, at the same period ; secondly, the caterpillar and army worm had made their appearance in extensive districts ; and although the ravages of the for mer had in part been checked by heavy rains, which beat them to the ground and washed them off in the floods, considerable mischief was done. Yet, with all these drawbacks, if the picking season shall be favour able and killing frosts late, an average crop may be ga thered. As to prices, there can hardly be said to be any regular market at the present time. The accounts by the Britannia were depressing, and their influence is still felt. We have already spoken of the abundance of the present harvests. The estimates, made with some care by the Bureau at Washington charged with collecting such statistics, present these results for the crops of 1845—which those of the present year will, it is on all hands admitted, exceed:— Wheat, 1061 mil. bushels ; Oats, 163 k mil.; Rye, 27 n mfTG ii hari l .en . e i aryteth, Barley, 5 1-6 mil.; Buck Wheat, 101 mil.; Indian Corn, 4171 mil. The estimated population at present of these United States is about 20,000,000, and they cannot consume by Britainiet s e r n a s l landsa orfgi de eclared aue l n 1 cr i al n urd n s esoi t ha to od thatbb i r ett e h a w edi thel permanent ebf stuff's rremeeaanni nmtehunpeatoyl importation annually produce. itinicoryng eoor fr s corn, there will be an increased quantity raised for the chance of that market, on our inexhaustible soil, and at diminished prices. Exchanges on Europe are well sustained. The prices on London are from 91 to 95 ; on Paris, 5,275 to 30f. ; Amsterdam, 391 to 39 ; Elamburgh, 35/ to 365 ; Bre men, 781 to 79. The Stock Market was rather heavy this morning, and prices had a downward tendency. Exchange steady at our quotations. Cotton—There has been a little more activity in the market, and prices are a little firmer. Flour—Western Canal is in good demand at 4 del. 681 a 4 dol. 75; Common Southern 4 dol. 50 a 4 dol. 75. Ashes firm and in good demand. Mr. Bancroft, who has been compelled to retire from the navy in consequence of ill health, has been appointed Minister to England, in the room of Mr. M'Lane, returned from the United States. 'The New York Sun contains an account of a seri ous riot among the Irish volunteers. The following is the news alluded to : WASHINGTON, MONDAY NIGHT.—The steamship M`Kitn, Capt. Page, arrived on the sth instant at New Orleans, from Brazos Santiago, which place she lett on the 2d instant. She brought several sick volunteers and some discharged soldiers. Colonel Hays, with his rangers, had been heard from. They had scoured the country and returned to Camargo, without doing anything of note. Most of the army remained at Camargo. A great riot among a company of Irish volunteers, and some others, took place on the night of the 31st, at an encampment opposite Burita. Guns were fired, and fifteen or twenty men are reported to have been killed or wounded. Besides the killed or wounded seen or shown, eight or ten are said to have been pushed from a steam-boat (lying by the shore) overboard, and were drowned. The Colonel of the Georgia regiment gallantly attempted, with sword and pistols in hand, to quell the riot, lie shot down one man and wounded several others. Colonel Baker, of the: 4th Regiment Illinois Volun teers, repaired to the scene, and ordered two of his com panies, A and C, to assist in quelling the fight, and went rn person with twenty chosen men to the steam-boat. lie commanded peace as soon as he got on board, but was attacked by the rioters and had a desperate con flict, in which he defended himself bravely for some time against swords, bayonets, and shot, but was finally shot in the neck ; the ball entered behind, passing out through his cheek or mouth. Of the twenty men who accompanied Colonel Baker eight were wounded, six with Layonets and two with balls. On the arrival of Mmpanies A and G, Captain Roberts, of the former, ordered his men to charge on board, and led them to the steps, where he received a severs wound from a bayonet, which entered near the shoulder blade and passed through his back. The boat was so well defendnd by the rioters, that the Illinoisians had to retreat, not having cartridges with them. Am munition was soon furnished them, however, and on again approaching the boat everything was quiet. No one of the Illinois volunteers was killed, and it was thought next morning that Baker and Roberts would recover of their wounds. It was feared two privates in company C were mortally wounded. The rioters were finally subdued, forced to surrender their arms, and placed under a strong guard, preparatory to trial by court martial. Alexander J. Seahorn, Illinois Troops, Company A, died on board the M‘Kirn. Several others on the same vessel were nearly dead. Forty miles above Reynosa, on the 21st August, the steamboat Enterprise burst her boiler and blew up; five persons were killed instantly and several wounded. Killed—Enoch Tucker; A. Bc'snell, of Tennessee; Mr. Seeps, of Texas; Thomas Ganfrey, of New York; a coo and a stranger, names unknown. Badly wounded—Lieutenant Dearing, of Louisville Legion; Wm. A. Crook, and C. B. Crook, T(nriessee; Captain Woods, William Grey, Jacob Bouridge, and Thomas Eagle, of Texas; J. C. Howard, Sutler, of Bal timore; Joseph Gregsby and Mr. Heckery, Sutlers, of Louisville Legions; Talor; the Pilot; Thomas limper, Samuel Martin, Patrick Kelley, Fr an k an d Pallacot, deck hands, and J. E. Crank, the mate. Thirteen slightly wounded. On the '2Bth ult., Lieut. Dearing was out of danger. Patrick Kelly was out of his senses, and would probably die. The First Brigade from Camargo left on the 19th, in the direction of Monterey, under Gen. Worth. Three steamboats arrived at Camargo 21st ult., with M. M. 0. Butler, Gen. Shields, and several C o l one l s a nd M a j ors . Col. Harney marched from San Antonio (Texas) 23d, with 120 United States Dragoons, 500 mounted Texians, and 18 Delawares, for Monclavo, Mexico. This asto nished Gen. Taylor. who does not like Harney's moving in advance of Wool. Gen. Twiggs, with 2(1 Dragoons, Light Artillery, and the batteries of Captains Taylor and Ridgley, arrived at Camargo, Aug. 21. The Ist and 2d Regiments of the Ohio Volunteers, 6 companies of Louisville Legion and the Baltimore battalion arrived at Camargo on the 22d. They suf fered much for the want of water, but stood the fatigues of the march pretty well. One of them died on the way np from Matamoras. General Worth established his first depot at Seralvo. He will then go on and establish another half-way between that place and Monterey. The steamer Rough and Ready arrived at Camargo with Colonel Croghan, Inspector-General, and other officers on board. The news of the revolution in Santa Anna's favour reached General Taylor's camp on the 27th, and created a great sensation. No one knew what to think of it. A letter dated Camargo, 20th ult., says General Taylor would leave Sept. 5, for Monterey. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, S. 2.

SWEARING IN OF THE NEW SHERIFFS AT WEST MINSTER.—Yesterday being the day appointed for the swearing in of the new sheriffs (Mr. Alderman Challis and Mr. Kennard), at the Court of Exchequer, at West minster, the two Sheriffs, with their respective com panies, andl the various civic authorities, proceeded in state from Guildhall to Blackfriars-bridge, embarked on board the City barges, and were conveyed to West minster. They then proceeded to the Exchequer Court, and, after the usual formalities, were sworn into office. In the evening the wholo of the company partook Of a sumptuous entertainment, given by the Sheriffs. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS, (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 7,000 to 8,000 bales, one•half of which was on speculation. The market was not so active, but there was no change of prices. Shares were not brisk. It is stated in accounts received this morning that the probabilities are against the Great Britain steam ship being gut out of the difficult position in which she is placed, and that this fine ship must become a wreck. We trust that this anti cipation may prove to be entirely unfounded, but, looking to the change in the weather, the extreme length of the vessel, and the quantity of water she draws, the chances are certainly against her being got off, unless with very considerable damage. The wool sales have just been terminated, and we are much pleased to report that they have gone off satis factorily. For wool of good quality an advance has been obtained. But upon all hands it is admitted that the wools are sent home too full of burrs and prickle. The colonial flock masters ought seriously to consider these complaints, and attend more to the condition of the staple they send to this country. The Cape wools come over very well, and, as a matter of course, better prices are realised for them. The Public Securities are very dull to-day in conse quence of the thin 4tendance, this being a strict holiday with the Jews. Consols for present Transfer have been marked 951 , and for Time 951 -a.

Spanish Five per Cents. have been 26k, and the Three per Cents. 37 to Mexican Bonds have been quoted 25k.
