By Miss Pennefuther. 3 Vols. (olburn. The authoress of this tale has endeavoured to pour trey in the life of its heroine a continual struggle between duty and inclination, but unfortunately the circumstances in which she is placed deprive her, in a great measure, of the reader's sympathy. The mo tives which prompt her self-sacrifice are not suffi ciently strong to authorise her rejection of happiness for herself and others, and in some points she is so mistaken i❑ her ideas, that the interest inspired by her sorrows ceases. It is to be regretted that the authoress did not select some more obvious duty as the chief event, which would have made the efforts of the unfortunate Helen appear worthy of admiration and respect, instead of worse than useless. There is a variety of scenes and characters introduced of a more cheerful nature than those of the principal persons, though the incident of Miss Louisa St. Leger would have been much better omitted, as it is very impro bable. It is, however, evident that she is actuated by the best motives, which it is to be hoped that her next work will better exemplify. The following extract is a sample of the style : " Madeline asked her father's permission to invite Miss Clevedon to be one of their party, to which he made no objection. She was a young lady in whom Madeline was much interested, though there was little that attracted people i❑ general to her. She was not pretty, and she was very silent. Her manners were dis tant and reserved, it was thought. Still, she had gained upon Madeline's affections. " She answered Madeline's note of invitation in the affirmative, and in due time she arrived, looking perhaps more as if a day's pleasure would do her good than even Madeline had thought. She looked pale and thoughtful, and as though the smile of joy had been long absent from her Lace. " The plans being all arranged, and the day lovely, a merry party set off, nor did they return till very late in the evening. " During the drive to the holy well, Madeline took the opportunity of asking Caroline Clevedou if she should like to go to London with them next week. She told her that she was very anxious she should be one of her bridemaids. Her two sisters and Emily Seymour were to be the other three. " You won't refuse me, will you?' said she. " Caroline hesitated—she certainly thought she should very much like to go—but she was not sure that she ought to leave her mother. " Madeline saw her hesitation, and half guessing at the reason, said: " Pray do come, your sister is to come to morrow to stay for some time; and though I know how much you always enjoy her visits, I am selfish enough to wish that for this time you should please me by leaving home whilst you can. Remember I did not ask you until I was sure that you could come.' " ' Yes,' said Caroline, Mary will be with us to morrow, and I should have a week with her before you want me; but then I must (if you will kindly allow me to leave it so long iu uncertainty) wait to see first how my mother is, and whether she quite likes me to go. She has been very unwell and nervous since I saw you last; and unless Mary feels quite satisfied about her, I should not think it right to leave them, much as I should like it.' " Whilst she spoke, Madeline was watching her face. She saw but too plainly that Caroline had been undergoing more fatigue and anxiety than was good for her; and though she did not press the point further then, she re solved to go the following day to call upon Mrs. Cleve don. She knew that Mrs. Stopford (Caroline's married sister) would, if possible, wish to arrange matters so as to allow Caroline to accompany them to London. " By this time the carriage had stopped, so the whole party alighted to walk across the fields, as it was voted a pleasanter way than the road. This way soon led down a steep and narrow lane, overshadowed by trees, by the side of which ran a clear rapid stream over pebbles and mossy stones, bubbling and sparkling where here and there its waters caught the sun as it shone through the dancing leaves, bidden again by the tufts of large fern that grew on either side of the banks. At the end of the lane the view opened, and a valley lay before them; a broad, still river wound its way through the plain, and a wooded bill rose on the opposite side. " Is this a fair specimen of the scenery of this country ?' asked one of the company. " No, far from it,' said Sir Reginald; the greater part of it is very bleak and wild, without a hedge-row or tree. There are in parts large districts of bog, and to wards the north the whole country is a succession of hills or undulations which are covered by a net-work of l i ditches, or stone walls piled up without mortar. It is nowhere a very flat country, nor is the form of the ground ugly in itself, but one wearies of the unvaried monotony of its half-cultivated appearance, stripped as it is of every vestige of a tree. In former times it was a well- wooded country, and old records as well as tra dition tell one of extensive forests, which were then pro tected by laws. Another proof of the former existence of these forests is, that in some places a natural growth of oak constantly springs up, covering the sides of glens in a few favoured spots. I believe, indeed, that the wood we have just been walking through, as well as that op posite to us, are natural. We are on our way now to an old cross, which is one of the most perfect, as well as being one of the most sacred; it is very ancient, as its peculiar form denotes. I sm not learned, however, in the antiquities of this country; but as you are interested in it, I can show you everything about it when we re turn borne.' TALES AND LEGENDS OF THE ENGLISH LAKES AND MOUNTAINS. By Lorenzo .7uvar. This is a very pleasing little book ; it presents us with many interesting reminiscences of the most beautiful scenery of our own country. Perhaps the sketch most worth mentioning is the one immortalised by Sir Walter Scott in the following lines : " I climbed the dark brow of the mighty Helvellyn, Lakes and mountains beneath me gleamed misty and wide, All was still—save by fits, when the eagle was yelling And starting around me, the echoes replied, On the right Striding edge round the Red Tarn was bending, And Catchedecam its left verge was defending One huge nameless rock in front was impending, When I marked the sad spot where the wanderer died. Dark green was that spot 'mid the brow mountain heather Where the pilgrim of nature lay stretched in decay, Like the corpse of an outcast abandoned t o weathcr, Till the mountain winds wasted the tenantless clay. Nor, yet quite deserted, though lonely extended, For faithful in death, his mute favourite attended, The much-loved remains of his master defended, And chased the bill fox and the raven away." HISTORICAL SKETCH OF LOGIC. By H. Blakey. This work presents us with a very able account of logical science from the earliest times to the present day. Its researches go back as far as the time of Zeno, five hundred years before the Christian era, and carry us through the succeeding generations till we reach our own epoch. It must be of essential service to all students and literati to have thus presented in a concise form what must other wise be searched for in many places and from various authors. It is certainly desirable for all to possess a correct idea of that important subject, which has ever attracted the attention of the wise, and which has ever occupied the thoughts of the learned. SPOItTiNG NOTES. No. CCCV. THE FIELDS FOR THE CHAMPAGNE STAKES AND GREAT YORKSHIRE HANDICAP, &c. &c. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The field for the Champagne Stakes, it is gene rally understood, will be c omposed of the following:— THE REIVER, 1; VINDEX, 2; ORINOCO, 3; Honeydew, colt by Bay Middleton, out of Barba. The Friar, Nerve or Atbol Brose, and perhaps Vanderdecken and Comfit. The Great Yorkshire Handicap list of starters, as far as I can ascertain, will be composed of Miss Ann, Alonzo, Hungerford, Alp, Storyteller (d), Scarecrow, Knight of the Garter, Jack Leeming, Lerrywhent, Imagination, and The Twin. I see nothing here to beat my original selection—The Knight of the Garter, Alp, and The Twin, the first named for choice—without it is Scare crow, about whose starting there seems some doubts. To stand upon one, however, I should take THE KNIGHT OF THE GARTER. The betting on Saturday was only remarkable for the decline of the Twin and Scarecrow for the Great Yorkshire Handicap, and subsequent reaction in favour of the former in the City in the evening. The Knight of the Garter maintained his position firmly, and Alonzo had plenty of backers. For the St. Leger Stockwell was uncommonly steady in the market, and was backed re peatedly against Songstress. Daniel O'Rourke and Trousseau were backed occasionally, but not to any great extent. The only moves of yesterday worth recording were a disposition to lay against the Reiver for the Champagne, and to support Orinoco.

The frequenters of this celebrated establishment, and the music-loving public generally, will learn with lively feelings of satisfaction that a new era "looms in the future," or, more properly speaking, dawns brightly in its fortunes. A novel speculation has been organized. The prospectus of the new company, entitled " Her Majesty's Theatre Association," has been issued, with the names of the Duke of Leinster, the Marquis of Clanricarde, Frederic Mildred, Esq., and B. Oliveira, Esq., M.P., as trustees, and the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Earl of Harrington, Major-General the Hon. H. F. C. Cavendisb, Sir John Bayley, Bart., and C. Barry Baldwin, Esq., as committeemen. A large proportion of the shares have already been subscribed. The prospectus says : " A contract has been entered into for the purchase of the lease of her Majesty's Theatre from the present proprietor, and the association will have the benefit of this agreement, the purchase money being represented by 20,000 paid-up shares. In this purchase is included the lessee's interest in the sum of 12,526/. 12s. 9d. Three per Cent. Reduced Annui- ties, invested as an accumulating guarantee fund. This fund will be increased from time to time, so as to form a sinking fund, and place the association on the firmest basis. The properties are to be taken at a valuation, which in no case is to exceed 25,0001. The association to have the benefit of any surplus be yond that sum. The property of the association will consist of the lease of the theatre and concert-room, which has nearly forty years to run, estimated at 100,000/. ; the properties greatly exceed in value 30,0001., but amount to be paid by the association is not to exceed 25,000/. ; the effective capital, 75,0001.; total, 200,0001. The affairs of the association will be conducted by a managing director appointed by the committee,aud previously to the commencement of each season the personal privileges to be reserved to the shareholders will be defined by the committee." Let the appointment of managing director be con ferred on Mr. Lumley, and the assurance of the suc cess we cordially wish to the undertaking will be rendered doubly sure. Experience, energy, tact, and judgment are the qualifications that combine to render Mr. Lumley the fit and proper person for this delicate and arduous post. (From the Morning Chronicle.) Towards the close of the last season of her Majesty's Theatre, it was reported that steps were being taken to remove, for the future, certain disadvantages un d er w hich the establishment had laboured, and to introduce and inaugurate a new administrative energy and ability. These rumours have now, we rejoice to learn, taken form and consistey. It will be seen, from an announcement which we p b nc lish elsewhere, that the programme of the proposed scheme has been matured and decided upon; and everything now bids fair for its immediate prao .. n which is in the course of being orga tniiczTaeldhrece aottsiMszopacrtiiiasetnis;, as its leading members, not a few of the most distinguished patrons of operatic art of the day. The trustees will be the Duke of Leinster, the Marquis of Clanricarde, Mr. Frederick Mildred. and Mr. Benja min Oliveira, M.P. The Marquis of Clanricarde is also to be the president of the committee, which at present includes the Earl of Harrington, Major-General Caven dish, Sir John Bayley, and Mr. Barry Baldwin. The prospectus published gives a brief, but clear and most encouraging outline of the proposed arrangements. It dilates upon the peculiar advantages of the situation of Her Majesty's Theatre, as near the Palaces of the Sove reign, the Houses of Parliament, and the clubs; a n d i t justly adverts to the beauty of the interior of the theatre, the harmony of its proportions, and its unrivalled acoustic construction, as admirably fit ting it for the production of the master-pieces of the greatest musicians—not forgetting to hint at its old established habits and associations, and at its having been the scene of the triumphs of all the leading artists of Europe. It is next announced that the present lease is being purchased ,for a sum of money represented by 20,000 paid-up shares—each share amounting to 5/, which sum is to form the only liability of each share holder. There will be 40,000 shareholders, represent ing a total capital of 200,0001. This sum will be in vested as follows:—.in the lease of the theatre and concert room, which has nearly forty years to run, 100,000 L; in the purchase of the properties, &c, 25,0001.; leaving an available ready capital to the amount of 75,0001. With this handsome sum to start:upon,almanaging director will be appointed, who will act under the control of the com mittee—the latter undertaking the entire responsibility of the receipts and expenditure. No name has yet been officially announced tor the position in question; but it seems impossible to doubt that the committee will use every exertion to obtain the co-operation of the late ma nager, Mr. Lumley—whose unrivalled zeal, energy, and tact, have done so much to carry the theatre through stupendous difficulties, while his admirable judgment and taste have most powerfully contributed to promote the interests of the lyric drama in this country, The appointment of that gentleman would, on every ground, afford the most lively :satisfaction both to the Labitues of the house, and to the public at large. Such, then, is the general outline of the projected scheme. The personal privileges to be reserved to the share holders are to be defined and settled by the committee— a delicate and important matter, in which the committee will do well to come to no hasty conclusion; and t h e prospectus closes by expressing a hope that, with the theatre freed from many old trammels, and greatly im proved in administration, an establishment will be realised which will prove the most distinguished re union of science, art, and fashion hitherto known in Europe.

POWDER MAGAZINE AT STONEIIOUSE. — Some con siderable anxiety has been occasioned among the inhabitants of Stonehouse of late on finding that a building, the erection of which has just been completed on land adjoining the Marine Barracks, is to be used as, and is built for, a powder magazine. A memorial is in course of signature on the subject, and it will be presented in the proper quarter in a few days. THE KEYHAM Docas.—These works are proceed ing towards completion very steadily. The Loch basin has been completed since August, 1851, and is capable of re ceiving vessels at any time. It has been announced that the docks were to be formally opened during the present autumn by his Royal Highness prince Albert, but no day has yet been fixed upon for the ceremonial. A field of corn of seven acres was last week cut at Daisy Knoll Farm, near Mithilesburgh, belonging to Mr. Isaac Sharp, which yielded the large crop of 100 stooks an acre.--Newccua4 Journal. AMERICAN NEWS. - - LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING. By the Royal Mail steam-ship Canada, Lang, com mander, which arrived in the Mersey at 6.30 this evening, we have advices from New York to the 31st ult., and from Boston to the Ist inst.

The steam-ship Prometheus arrived at New York OD the 30th, with the Californian mails of the 31st of July. The Ohio arrived at the same port on the 31st with 2,200,000 dolls. in specie on freight. The Ohio, when two hours out from Kingston, Jamaica, which port she left on the 24th, was boarded by a boat from the West India mail steamer Parana, which had broken one of her cylinders. The steam-ship Oregon sailed from San Francisco on the 31st of July, with 2,275,829 dolls. in gold dust on freight. The Senate on the 30th adopted a resolution pro viding for the purchase and fitting up of vessels in tended for the exploration of Bebring's Straits, the China seas, Straits of Gasper, and Java sea. A motion for the increase of the marine corps by the enlistment of 600 men was withdrawn. Mr. Mason, from the Committee on Foreign Relations, made a report on the subject of the Tehuantepec grant, to which the following resolutions were appended : " L Resolved, as the judgment of the Senate, that in the present posture of the question on the grant of a right of way through th e t err i tory of Mexico at theisth mus of Tehuantepec, conceded to that Republic by one of its citizens, and now the property of citizens of the United States, as the same i s presented by the corre spondence and document s accompanying the message of the President, it is not comp at ib le with the d i gn i ty o f this Government to prose cu t e the subject f ur ther by ne gotiation. 2, Should the Government of Mexico propose a renewal of sach negotiations, it should be acceded to only upon distinct propositions from Mexico, not incon sistent with the demands made by this Government in reference to said grant. " 3. That the Government of the United States stands committed to all its citizens to protect them in their rights abroad as well as at home, within the sphere of its jurisdiction; and should Mexico, within a reasonable time fail to reconsider her position c oncerning th i s gran t, it will then become the duty of this Government to re view all existing relations with that Republic, and to adopt such measures as will preserve the honour of the country and the rights of its citizens," These resolutions were laid on the table and ordered to be printed. The following resolution w as then p resented by M r. Brooks and ordered to be printed :---- " That the Executive be requested to inform the Go vernment of Mexico that unless the American holders of the right of way across the isthmus of Tehuantepec shall, on or beforo the Ist day of March next, be put in full possession of their property and fiinchises this Govern ment will proceed to protect them in the occupation and and enjoyment thereof; and that if this determination should occasion a rupture between the t wo R epu bli cs , this Government will rely for justification in the eyes of mankind upon the obligation of every Government to protect the rights of its own ci tizens, and upon the flagrant and the ind e f ens ibl e violation by Mexico of pri vate right and national law."

He spoke particularly of the importance of Fort Delaware, the fort at Sollar's Flats, and the fort at Gar den Key._ " Mr. Brown (Democrat), of Mississippi, said fortifi cations were great humbugs, and in corroboration of this fact mentioned that Vera Cruz, with a fort supposed to be one of the strongest in the world, was taken by Gene ral Scott with inferior troops in less than 24 hours. " Mr. Walsh (Whig), of Maryland, briefly spoke in favour of fortifications, and of the importance of com pleting Sonar's Flats, for the protection of Baltimore. " Mr. Gorman (Democrat), of P ennsylvania, thought no further appropriations should be made for fortifica tions. It was a known fact that the House had hereto fore refused to make them. " Mr. Bayly—They have only twice refused. " Mr. Gorman conceived that no enemy, w ith fi ve ideas above an oyster, wou ld again dream of attacking a fort on that coast. Fortifications were of no earthly use. " Mr. Stanton, of Tonessee, said they had not time to mature a system now, and moved that the committee rise for the purpose of acting on other business ; • which was agreed to." — Oa the 28th a message from the President was laid before the Senate which contained the following letter relative to the Lobos Islands : " United States' Navy Department, June 16. " Sir,—The department transmits herewith a copy of a communication from the Department of State, with accompanying papers, relative to the rights of citizens of the United States to take guano from the Lobos Islands, and instructs you to send one of the vessels of your squadron to the Lobos Islands for the protection of our citizens and commerce. " Wm. A. GRAHAM." This letter was addressed to Commodore M.Auley. Mr. Webster, under date A t : August 27,1852, writes to he President as follows " A postscript to the letter or Mr. J. C.

It is certain, however, that it did not originate i n a ny desire to give Mr. Jewett or any one else exclus i ve information as to the views of the G overnment in rega rd to these islands. The Secretary of S tate had no personal ac quaintance with Mr. Jewett, or previous correspondence with him."

The pioneer among us selected by of an order whose glorious object is to extend the area states in this of freedom, you have won our respect and affection as eignifications.

The emblem of the Lone Star is a proud one in its association, and appropriate in all its our gentlemanly conduct and genial disposition when they revolted against Spanis ofyranny it never set people of Louisiana, until that rich province became onethe most flourishing Plains of Texas, and waved triumphantly on her banners above the well-fought field of San Jacinto, win cingdespotism for that young republic the same glorious destiny, great Republic.

To we nave received the token of membership in this faithful friends, as well as its honoured President, we take this opportunity before you depart from among us of testifying our confidence and warmest regard. Accept, Sir, this emblem of the order of the Lone Star, end with it tho kindest w ishes and warmest feelings of the , members of this division fo r y our future wel fare and happiness. "To this address Dr. Wren replied as follows: " Officers and members of Empire Division No. 1, Order of the Lone Star, —In accepting the flattering testimonial to my humble efforts, with which it has pleased the members of this division to present me, a l. low me to assure you that I will ever treasure it as a memento of the kindness and enthusiasm with which I have been hailed as a fellow-labourer in the great work we have undertaken—an enterprise of vital importanc e to the future of our native republic and to the advance ment of liberty throughout the world. Gentlemen, you appreciate the ennobling sentiments of our order, and I am truly rejoiced to find in this metropolis congenial souls to unite with us in the noble task of keep ing ever lighted the fire of patriotism upon the altar of liberty. Rome—emblem of republicanism in the old world—maintained her vestal virgins, consecrated to the preservation of the ever burning light; and when they neglected this sacred duty the ray of repub licanism faded into a long night of barbarian dark ness, May we patriots of the new Rome add oil to the utmost of our power, that a similar catastrophe may be arrested from the palladium of our nationality. Gentlemen of the committee, I greatly admire the taste and judgment evinced by you in the selection and corn- position of this truly beautiful testimonial. The ser pent, born in obscurity, is the emblem of eternity, and, figuratively, never dies. The eagle, exponent of power, and chosen by our ancestors to denote the lofty aspira• tions of our confederated Union, will soar higher and higher, until the vision of unenlightened beings will fail to ',cognise the guardian spirit under whose wings an entire continent may seep in securi t y. A n d now t h e glorious star—the tff u l ftent type of a mysterious future —the lust pleiad of t h e repu b lican sphere, whose dis covery is the sacred d u t y o f our order, is repreEetesd aptly in the magnificent ornament w i th which you have chosen to adorn my breast—a jewel of p r i ce w h ose dia monds raket the sincerity of our hearts, and struggle to cast a gleam of concentrated light upon the destinies of enslaved peoples. Members of Empire Division, I carry this gift to exhibit to our brethren of the South— whence I came to you a stranger, and have been re ceived as a friend—as en evidence of my labours, leaving you to reap a fair harvest. And, in conclusion, let me recal to your memory the secret workings of a small insect toiling in the obscure depths of the sea—the coral reef has caused the wreck of many a noble frigate." At St. Thomas on the 20th ult., business was ex ceedingly dull. Exchange on London was 4923-. We have very brief advices from Panama to the 17th ult., but they are devoid of interest. Kingston (Jamaica) advices of the 23d ult. report the occurrence of an earthquake at Spanish Town on the 22d. The shock was of very long duration, and the clocks of the churches were stopped. " The sugar crop in Helawny," says the Falmouth Post 6, Will be considerably less than was expected in con sequence of the long drought, and the next crop will not be any better. On some properties the cane fields are completely burnt up, and much difficulty is experienced in procuring food and water for the stock. On the 20th there was a heavy rain in Falmouth, and we believe that it was general throughout the parish. It is supposed that the whole crop in the island for 1852 will not ex ceed 28,000 hogsheads, which will be little more than one-half of that which the small island of Barbadoes has produced." From the Sandwich Islands we have advices to the 2d of July. On the 15th of the preceding month a royal salute of twenty-one guns was fired, in honour of the King's signature to the new Constitution granted by his Majesty. An Englishman named Charles Wallace, of London, died at the British hos pital, Honolulu, on the 13th of June, of paralysis. Advices from Tahiti to the middle of May state that the English Protestant ministers had been for bidden to preach until they had formally acknow ledged the French Protectorate Government as their head, and promised to submit themselves to its con trol. The Rev. Mr. Chisholm, employed by the London Missionary Society, had been prohibited from preaching out of a certain district, under pain of arrest and banishment. No native was allowed to preach without first obtaining the sanction of the Government. From San Francisco we have advices to the 31st July. The news is not very important. The sheriff of Contra Costa county had been shot at and mortally wounded, while in the discharge of his duty, by a man named Hardy, who had leased a piece of land and refused to give up possession to the owner when the lease had expired.

Business generally was dull at San Francisco, and a brisk trade was not expected for some weeks to come. There was a good demand for money, without alteration in prices. The stock market remained firm for all leading securities, with fair prospects for a still further advance. The inquiries for Californian stocks by foreign capitalists had been very numerous.

The Royal party was received on the ground by the Farquharson, Duff, Airlie, and Forbes' Highlanders, fully equipped. Mr. Farquharson, of Invercauld, and Mr. James Duff, of Carriemulzie, conducted her Majesty to the terrace of Braemar Castle, beneath which the usual Highland games were carried on with great spirit.

ERUPTION OF MOUNT ETNA. We have received the following further details of the eruption which commenced on the 20th ult.:— " Catania Aug. 30. " On the 20th and 21 st of this month Etna began to give signs of unusual activity, which was followed by the opening of two new craters, below the original cup and towards the east, near a spot known by the name of Pietra Mussora. The mountain commenced its labours on this occasion by throwing up clouds of small stones and ashes, which curled about in the air and assumed a variety of forms, owing to eccentric currents of wind, which appeared to proceed from the chasms of the mountain. Molten lava followed this eruption of ashes and stones, and from the newly•opened fiery mouths of the mountain a burning stream of liquid stone lit up the masses of smoke, which now extend more than a thou sand feet upwards, while the country around is frequently veiled. " The lava flows in two distinct streams; one in the direction of Milo, and the other towards Zwradrsanonn, burning up every tr ee an d s h ru b w ithin s ix either side. The few dwellings scattered n e t a y r e the streams are deserted, and the destructive 15eliehnert of e anxiously watched, as one stream threa tens a valley rich with the vegetation and the vine.

SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY. The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Teviot, 1 Captain Onslow, arrived with the South American mails this afternoon, in charge of Lieutenant Veitcb, R.N., Admiralty agent. The Teviot experienced fine weather throughout, and has made an exceedingly good passage home. She brings mails from the following places, to which the latest dates are affixed :—Buenos Ayres, August 3 ; Monte Video, 5 ; Rio Janeiro, 14 ; Bahia, 18 ; _Pernambuco, 21; St. Vincent, 28 ; Te neriffe, Sept. 3; Madeira, 4; Lisbon, 7. The Teviot landed 40 passengers at Lisbon, and brought 116 to Southampton, amongst whom were Mr. Macdonell, late governor of Gambia ; Mr. Thompson and family, Mr. and Mrs. Gregor and family, Mr. and Mrs. Paton, Mr. Austin, and Mr. Pine. The freight comprised 21,9001. in specie, 16 parcels . of diamonds, 188 s e r ons of coch i nea l , 300 b arre l s o f tapioca, 24 serons of ipecacuanba, 10 cases of wine,. 06 boxes of oranges, and a b out 100 pac k ages o f sundries. The Arnidn., of Liverpool, Captain Morgan, laden with patent fuel, bound for Coquimbo, was burnt at sea in lat. 38 30 S, long. 54 20 W, from spontaneous ignition of her cargo. The crew, about twenty in number, escaped in the boats, and were picked up by the Amelia from the Falkland Islands and landed at Monte Video. MON DAY EVENING, SEPTEM BER 13. 1852. BUENOS AYRES. By this arrival we have but little political news. The resignation of Dr. Vicente Lopez, as provi sional governor of the province of Buenos Ayres (says the British Packet), is considered to be a seri ous 1085 " His venerable age, his unblemished reputation. the unquestionable patriotism of the author of the National Anthem, and, we must add, in justice to the fallen, his mild, paternal, and conciliatory qualities, are qualifica tions rarely to be found combined, in so eminent a de gree, in the same individual. His selection by General Uri;pia!' on the 4th of February, to preside over the des tinies of the province, uniformly and the ontenance and support dispensed to him, daring his short and chequered administration, are facts that deserve to be recorded as honourable in the highest degree to both parties. "In assuming provisional! the sup reme authority q given General Uruiza has an y other eifi proof and efficient guarantee of his disinterested views and of the pa triotic conduct, in hi s choice which individuals who compose the Council of S tate, was formally in. stalled on the 28th, in terms of the decr ee ; . Don Nicholas Anchorena being appoi n t e d president ; Don Salvador Maria Carri,i vice-president ; an d Dr . Ed u a rdo Lahitte, secretary. The council met on Thursday evening, but we are not aware th a t anyt hi ng has transpired as to the subjects or results of its deliberations. financial "It is generally ex p ecte d, however, that matters must claim a n ear ly an d preferent atte ntio n _ a subject on which there is much public anxiety, and a considerable divergence of opinion. According to th e Nacional, the late Provisional Government was prepared with a sovereign specific in a bank project. strongly re sembling in its general features the outlines of a mea sure we republished in this journal some two months ago; which expedient the Cronica as sweepingly con demns, and suggests another direct appeal to our ap parently inexhaustible California, the National Bank; whilst the Progresso, with diplomatic caution and exem plary forbearance, has hitherto blinked the question. We are, perhaps, too far committed to be an impartial umpire; but, in advocating a new emission of paper money, we must remind the Cronica of the necessity of ascertaining the ' vital energies' of the institution be fore hazarding an experiment, in which our present and future are so deeply concerned. The National Bank has oftener than once achieved wonders; and so had Tam O'Shanter; and yet it is reported that in some lane of the suburbs an unknown ' Jorobado' has shorn him of all his dearly-earned laurels. On one point, however, we fully coincide with the Cronica, that the present anxiety and suspense are incalculably prejudicial to com mercial and industrial enterprise." The Hon. Robert C. Schenck had arrived from the United States as Envoy Exraordinary and Mi nister Plenipotentiary on a special mission to the Argentine Government. The Oriental Republic had awarded a medal to General Urquiza as a public acknowledgment of his services. Some disturbances had taken place in the provinces of Santa Fe and Corrientes. Two divisions of the liberating army had embarked to endeavour to put them down. It appears that General Juan Pablo Lopez had headed a movement, the avowed object of which was to upset the Government of Senor Crespo, but, after some partial successes in the district of Rosario, he had been a b an d one d by his partisans, and, according to the latest accounts, had retired to the interior with some fifty followers. A change of Government had taken place in the province of Tucuman. The Chamber of Representa tives had expressed an unqualified vote of thanks to General Urquiza for the invaluable services he has rendered the Republic. Relative to the excitement and distrust arising from occurrences that had taken place in several provinces of the Confederation, the British Packet adds : " We do not consider them of magnitude to endanger or frustrate the objects of the National Congress; but they certainly have paralysed, and we fear, may con tinue for a time to paralyse, the national career of com mercial enterprise." COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From the British Packet.) BUENOS Aviins, JULY 31.—1 n commercial matters July presents a sorry retrospect. The considerable de• mand for the interior provinces that characterised some of the preceding months has received a deplorable check from the unhappy political excitement manifested in se veral of the provinces, and the consequent indecision of those engaged in that important department of our na tional trade. 11l provided as we know the interior markets in general to be, the very limited remittances of the past month are doubly annoying, in view of the con siderable supplies actually arrived, and the formidable announcements, that we must now expect to be pouring in apace. As some months must necessarily elapse ere tranquillity and confidence are restored, we are not with out serious apprehensions of another glutted market, an evil too recent to be forgotten or lost sight of by import ers, and eventually prejudicial to all parties concerned. Withal, it is proper to note that during the last few days purchasers have come forward more freely, and that very considerable transactions have been effected, chiefly in the recent importations, both for the interior and for the local consumption. Present prices, especially for the great leading articles, can hardly be termed re• munerative; and whether they are destined to advance a little, or recede still farther fr om that im p ortant p oint, must depend on the course of importation. If heavy and promiscuous supplies are forced in, holders have no choice but to continue clearing off, especially the descrip tions adapted to the interior demand. This necessity is enhanced by the stringent limitation of time for the payment of our heavy import duties, very injudiciously adhered to by the Custom-house. As things now stand we cannot compete with Monte Video; and if the pre sent policy of high duties and no accommodation as to time be persisted in, our customers from the interior provinces must repair to the rival emporium; a blunder that may be consummated in a few months, although it may require years to rectify it.

Three out of the four were drowned; the names of two of them Were William Hutt and Henry llutt. The names of the others are unknown. It appears that they had been drinking freely and were unable to manage the boat. Their bodies have not been picked up. The Viscount Melbourne has lately improved in health.

F. Deacon), which has not only the attraction of proceeding from the pen of Sir T. N. Talfourd, but possesses the further recommendation of including two of the most admirable letters ever written by Sir Walter Scott. NEW PALACE AT BALMORAL —lt has just been determined to build a new palace for the Queen at Balmoral. It Is to be built on a site between the river and the present castle, fronting the south, and is estimated to cost from 80,0001. to 100,000/. The architecture is modern, and will combine the ornamental with the useful. A new bridge is to be thrown across the Dee ; and the public road which now leads through the forest of I3allochbine is to be shut up, and a better road provided along the south bank of the river. The old palace is to be entirely removed. The new palace is already staked Out.
