AMERICAN PAPERS. By the arrival of the packet-ship George Washing ton at Liverpool on Tuesday, we have received New York Papers from the Ist to the 9 th ult. inclusive. Their contents are of 'very little importance. The financial affairs of the States were gradually improving. From the South the accounts received respecting the cotton crops were very favourable, and in Wall-street the merchants had begun to boast of having got out of their worst difficulties. Trade had greatly increased both in the Northern and Southern States. The fol lowing abstract of the sayings and doings in Congress from the 2d to the Bth ult. is abridged from the Wash ington Correspondence of the New York Gazette. We have so condensed it as to render an analysis of the business to which it refers altogether superfluous WASHINGTON, OCT. 9.—M r . Wm. Cost Johnson at tempted to introduce a resolution directing that the Bill authorising the issue of Treasury notes, sent from the Se nate to this House, be returned to that body on the ground that it was an infringement on the rights of the House for the Senate to originate a Revenue Bill ; but leave was refused. " OCT. 2.—Since the express closed, the House agreed, by a vote of 115 to 103, to the amendment of Mr. Haynes, fixing the 16th of October, instead of the 9th, as the day fur the termination of the present Session ; and the resolu tion, as amended; was agreed to ; yeas, 152 ; nays, 65. The Senate concurred in the amendment, without much hesitation. So Congress has but a short fortnight more. " The Treasury Note Bill is important, and I trust it will pass, provided the notes shall be so issued as to an swer as a currency. " The Bill to postpone duty bonds, the Bill to remit the duties on goods destroyed by fire in New York, and the Bill to adjust the claims on the late deposit banks, all ought to be passed before the adjournment. " The inquiry into the conduct of the Florida war is un fortunately laid aside. " OCTOBER 3.—Mr. Calhoun made his principal argu ment to-day in support of his sub-treasury plan. It was his closing speech in reply to the objections offered to his proposition. Though purporting to be a reply to the ob jections made to his scheme, it yet avoided and evaded all tilos, arguments. Mr. Webster expressed his astonishment at fi j Miling the Senator, after his long experience in matters of finance—an experience extending through more than twenty years—where lie now was, an advocate for old con tinewtal money, of Government bills of credit, not bearing interest, as currency ; for Mr. Calhoun, in his remarks, supported this as the only species of paper currency that the Government had a right to legalise. " OCTOBER 4.—ln the Senate to-day the Bill relating to the fees on the renewal of Custom-house bonds was dis cussed. " The Sub-Treasury Bill is under consideration—the question being on its passage. In the form in which it will pass the Senate, it is Mr. Calhoun's Bill, and dissolves the connection with the State Banks gradually. In the first year, three-fourths of the public dues may be paid in notes of specie paying banks ; in the next, year one half, then one-fourth ; after the fourth year the separation is to be complete. This mode of effecting the divorce is held up as a decided benefit to the banks—enabling them to get on their legs again before they are to be discredited by the Government ; and Mr. Calhoun says, that by this time some new and improved plan of currency and ex changes will have been established by the local banks. THURSDAY, OcrozEc the pause of Representa tives to-day the resolution declaring that it is inexpedient to charter a national bank passed the House, by a vote of 122 to 91. The principal argument was that the abominable bank of the United States in Pennsylvania had ton much credit already, and would ruin the Arne lean Commerce and Government also, by establishing agencies in England. " The Treasury Note Bill was reported to the House last night, and will pass to-day. " The Senate, at a very early hour, having nothing to do, adjourned t'll Monday. " OCT. 6.—The Senate has a holiday to-day. The House will have a long and arduous; sitting. The Treasury Note Bill has not been dispoled of, though it was under consideration till eight o'clock last night. The division may be reache I to-night. There i.m no doubt of its passage without essential amendment. The rate is to be at not more than six per cent. Some say that the Secretary will fix upon five per cent. as the rate. He may have been advised to take that rate by those banks with whom he ha. corresponded—but it is questiened here whether they will comman3 specie et that rate. fame Florida war reso'ution was taken up again to-day, aal though a long debate took plaice, in which Messrs. Wise, Loomis, Howard, Gli.e.cock, and Adams t ok part, no division was Lad upon it, and I doubt whether there w:11 be any. Every attempt to get any inquiry into abuses connected with our Indian relations, has signally failed. " The House has taken up the Treasury Nute Bill, and Mr. Bond is speaking against it. " OCT. 7.—My letter of yesterday left the House deeply eagaged in the discussion of the Treasury N.,te Bill. The amendment of Mr. Underwood, substituting for an issue of Treasury notes a sale of the bonds due to the Government by the Bank of the United States, amounting to six and a half millions for the use of the Treasury, was negatived by the close vote of 104 to 11.3. "In the House to-day, a resoluticn was adopted calling for information from the President in relation to the occu pation of Colombia river by a foreign power. " The Treasury Note Bill having been taken up, Mr. Bell moved to strike out the enacting clause of the Bill, and is making a strong speech in support of the motion. His opinion is that this Bill is the first step towards the establishment of a Treasury Bank, which will to all intents and objects be the same thing with a bank founded on the credit and revenues of the Government. Every friend to a pure republican and an economical government would, he said, go against this measure. If this Treasury Bank was established, and the President set up supplying the emergencies of time Treasury, in time of peace, by the issue of bills of credit of Government paper of any kind, it would be carried to as extent that would soon lead to a prostration of our Government in the present form. " THE JOSEPHS' ESTATE. " By request of Messrs. Josephs, a meeting of creditors took place at the counting-room on the 28th ult., when re solutions were passed, recommending that those gentlemen be legally empowered, under inspectors, to settle the busi ness of the concern. " The following is a copy of the statement exhibited, which shows, it will be seen a balance in their favou - r of 539,983 dollars 17c. " Messrs. J. L. and S.

(From the Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle.) PHILADELPHIA, OCT. B.—There are at the present time in Washington not less than 150 Indian chiefs, warriors, and prophets, whose grotesque attire, and warlike and savage a ppearance, excite much attention, as well as the i mpor t an t mission on which they had been sent by their tribes. will devote a large portion of my letter to Indian affairs, especially as they are, I believe, but little under , stood in Great Britain. Within the territory of the United States the aboriginal or Indian population is estimated at 400,000 or 410,000 ; all of whom are, in their general character, wild and war like. They live by hunting and fishing, worship the Great Spirit, and many of the tribes are constantly at feud with each other. They have no idea of individual property in land ; but each tribe or nation possesses a right, derived from the most remote antiquity, to certain regions, over which they hunt in common, and remove their tents and wigwams from one location to another, according as the animals upon which they feed, and with whose skins they are clothed, happen to be abundant or scarce. To sell some of these hunting-grounds is the object of their visit to Washington, and it is the true policy of America to buy them, in order that their savage neighbours might either be reduced to live within narrow limits, or be compelled to emigrate beyond the Mississippi, and out of the jurisdiction of the Republic. The latter alternative is always preferred by the whites, while the Indians, tired of the constant encroachments of the pale faces, are fast becoming of the same opinion. Apart from the treachery, cunning, and cruelty with which they carry on their wars, there is something dignified and noble in the Indian character. They are natural philoso phers ; and so would any one say who had seen the depu tations pass, a few days since, through this city. Neither curiosity nor wonder were depicted in their countenances, or betrayed in their deportment, as they surveyed the noble marble and classic edifices that in so many quarters met their view ; but, on the contrary, their looks betokened a proud indifference to all around them—a consciousness of superior freedom, and partly, too, of sovereign scorn. They folded their crimson blankets or buffalo robes around their tall and majestic forms with the grace of Romans. They marched along the streets—eagles' feathers decorating their coal-black hair, and disdainful glances beaming from their eyes—to the admiration and almost awe of a great multi tude, who followed them in every part of the city. But to their proceedings at Washington. Arrived at the capital, they soon held " a_ grand talk" with Martin Van Buren, (their great father) the President. Before the proceedings were opened some of the oldest chiefs exclaimed, after gazing intently for a few minutes upon the President, and holding up their hands—" Our great father is a little fox—a little fox !" " A little fox—a little fox"--repeated the other chiefs in the rear. This they did in accordance with the Indian custom of naming their chiefs, after some animal he most resembles in appearance and expression of feature, or some attribute of Nature that may be typical of his mind or courage. When the interpreter had explained the matter the Pre. sident laughed at the joke, and no small merriment was ex cited amongst the bystanders. It is, however, just one of those jokes, though intended as a compliment by the chil dren of Nature, that will probably last during the worthy President's life. The Indians required about 1,600,000 dollars for lands worth thousands of millions—for a domain rich and pro ductis e, and large as an European kingdom. The Govern ment wished to give no more than 1,000,000 dollars. Such at least had been the decision in the capitol, which noble budding the Indians call " their Great Father's Talking llouse." Calumets were smoked, presents given, and all the usual ceremonials of the wild men strictly and solemnly observed during the Council. The superior sagacity of the pale faces, however, prevailed ; and at length the broad lands, the limiting grounds of the poor savages, rendered sacred to them by the bones of their fathers, and endeared by ten thousend legends and traditions of love and war,were parted with for 1,000, 000 of dollars ! This sum is to be paid pai tly in money, partly in stocks bearing inte rest, partly in goods, partly in interest and annual instal ments, and not finally before the expiration of 9.0 years. Other tribes etc coming from the far west on a similar mission, ami the bargains made with them will no doubt be quite - as profitable and paternal.. Except a few Seneca Indians in the state of New York, the Creeks of Georgia, and the ever-savage Seminoles of Florida, there are now no Indians east of the Ohio. All are banished to distant regions. They have disappeared from before civilized men, as weeds disappear by the culti vation of a garden. Yet they are an interesting race, most of their vices arising from the (to them) contaminating proximity of the whites. These latter, by selling their ar dent spirits, have introduced amongst the tribes, to a degree of violence unknown amongst Christians, all the evil pro geny of that mother of iniquity—Drunkenness. Having been personally amongst,them, slept in their wig ' warns, and smoked the " calumet of peace" in their coun cils under the great trees of the western forests; I feel an interest in their fate ; for, alas ! they are fast fading away from the face of the earth. Permit me, then, to indulge in a few characteristic anecdotes of their present visit to Washington, and transactions on the border. I feel con vinced they will prove interesting to the British reader. A friend at Washington writes thus, under date of Oc tober the Ist :—" Among the distinguished guests' who arrived to-day was a deputation of Sac and Fox Indians ; and I do not hesitate to say that a more savage body of of savages' never came among a civilised people. They comprised some fifty in number, composed of both sexes, and whilst his Royal Highness, in a state of almost nudity, paced up the avenue, her Majesty the Queen trudged along, carrying her papose in a case on her illustrious back, snugly eseonced in a blanket. His Majesty, to show the might and dignity of his distinguished person, wore in his quoif a pair of horns quite large enough to answer all the ambitious wishes of the old gentleman who resides down, down below.' His Majesty in the fullness of his Royal pleasure, suffered his blanket to hang about his loins so as to display the full length in print of an enormous pair of human hands, painted white, on his sinewy back. The heads of all were shaven, with the exception of a small tuft on the crown, which was ornamented with snake skins and feathers. Each man bore the implements of savage warfare, and, taken for all in all, they were the most fierce-looking fellows man ever beheld. When the band of savages reached the neighbourhood of Gadsby's Hotel they came in contact with a body of Sioux, who had placed themselves in elevated situations to receive them. The Sioux were clad in second-hand military coats and mocassins, which Mr. Poin sett, the Secretary of War, yesterday gave them. As the Sacs and Foxes approached the Sioux would have saluted them ; but the new comers eyed their strange costume with scorn, and passed them with contempt. The Sioux evi dently felt the keenness of the rebuke, and held down their heads in silence." They visited the theatre. The piece was -The deep, deep Sea. When Miss Nelson sprang upon the stage, the Indians seemed struck with wonder at her beauty. An lowa Indian arose, and, with a joyous shout, threw his head-dress of feathers upon the stage, which the inter preter explained was in compliment to her beauty. The play went on, and Miss Nelson gracefully received the present. A bewitching song brought another present from another lowa upon the stage. But in the succeeding scene, when the (to them) radiant creature appeared again with their feathery presents arranged as wings, their enthusiasni knew no bounds, notwithstanding that the Sioux (their rivals) looked .on with cold contempt. A third lowa chief stepped on the stage and laid his splendid buffalo robe at her feet, with a brief remark, which the interpreter translated thus :—" I give this to slim my pleasure at seeing the beautiful of Washington." The other Indians . began to take o ff th e i r ro b es an d h ea d-d resses , when Miss Nelson, in the most graceful manner, waved her hand and spoke to the following effect :—" I regret my want of ability to speak in your native tongue. But I esteem you as much as I do the sons of my own King." She then handed t o eac h o f h er I nd i an admirers a white ostrich plume, with which they crowned their warlike brows. . As soon as the i n t er p reter h a d ren d ere d h er speech into Indian, all the Indian tribes, together with all the ladies and gentlemen in the boxes, arose and gave a shout of applause that shook the very wa ll s o f t h e thea tre ; while high and shrill above the rest arose the wild war-cry of one tribe of noble-looking savages, that gave an almost unearthly character to the whole scene, which will never, never he forgotten by those who were present. Forthwith began a shower of buffalo robes, snake and opossum skins, snake rattles, head costume, war clubs, mo cassins, scalping knives, and wampum, that threatened to leave the Indians in a few seconds as naked as thei r f a th er Adam, out of pure gallantry and politeness to a beautiful girl. Fortunately for the ladies, Miss Nelson was supposed at that moment (in the play) to ascend into Heaven ; and she rose, " upborne on clouds," accordingly, and was lost in " sky th ea tri c ," amidst the wildest, most unique, gro tesque, enthusiastic, and exciting scene and circumstances ever yet witnessed on the dramatic stage. Every day these wild guests have danced their svar dances, sung t h e i r war songs, an d ma d e t h e f ore sts ring with their dreadful and thrilling " whoop," in the presence of thousands of the fair and gentle citizens and sojourners of Washington. Judge how terrible these savages must be in war by the fact that the Seminoles in Florida are nut yet con slovadri,ffitchualtt d t o lie t y he ba s v l e m e a r ! c t u a n a y find applied the con quered prosecution In o ( f le t e b d i's (in defiance of the Earl of Chatham's memorable speech) to the Indian tribes of Missouri for 500 warriors. One of these border nations they asked for the loan of 160 braves." The chief of that nation replied to the agent, "My people are at war with the Ozages. Will our Great E SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1837. Father lend me 100 pale faces ?" The answer was in the negative. " Then," said the Chief, " our Great Father can not expect that my warriors will leave their squaws, and their paposes, to fight with their brother, the red man, with whom they never quarrelled —to leave their tribe and bro ther warriors to the tomahawk, the scalping-knife, and the fires of the Osages. Manitoulin, the Great Spirit, forbids such wickedness. I thought our Great Father was strong and unconquerable in war. Farewell !" The Government has, however, obtained the aid of other savages. Thus, Indian set against Indian, will rapidly and inhumanly acce lerate their race's doom. IRELAND. MEETING OF LIBERAL MEMBERS.—We present our readers to-day with Lord Cloncurry's reply to the letter of Mr. O'Connell, which appeared in our columns yesterday. TO 'O'CONNELL. • Maritimo, November 2. My dear O'Connell—l entirely agree with you. MY sole object was to procure for the friends of Ireland, in Parliament, accurate information on the spot, to diminish their Legislative labours, and to secure unanimity on mea sures likely to be brought forward for her benefit. The recorded acts and sentiments of the Government render any marked demonstration on our part unnecessary, and the dissolution of the National Association proves this to be the opinion of the people of Ireland—a mark of de voted confidence not likely to be misunderstood by the ge nerous nation on which it is conferred. Most truly your's, CLONCURRY. COMBINATION ergo RIBBONISM ! I As one of the Tory hirelings has already given tongue—and that too after a most ferocious fashion—and since the other war-hounds of the ill-conditioned pack will, no doubt, follow in the wake, bawling and babbling in different dark coverts, we will show the public the sort of red-herring which these cur-Conservatives, in their prodigious eagerness to " find," pursue a trail:: in default of a better subject, they have e'en fixed upon the following report of a trial for combination : COMMISSION COURT-TUESDAY. CONfBINATION.—John Kennedy and William Hudson were arraigned for having assembled, on the 12th Sept. last, and inflicting several dreadful blows on the person of Win. Dalton. William Dalton examined by the Hon. Mr. Plunkett—l live near Coolock, in this county, and recollect coming into Dubiiii on the P2th of September. As I crossed the ca nal bridge, a person, who I believe is William Hudson, came over to me and said something which I did not hear ; he was followed by Kennedy, the other prisoner, who said, to the best of my opinion, " Hurra for the North." Baron Foster—The best of your opinion wont do, Sir ; you must swear positively. Witness : I can't, my Lord. Mr. Plunkett—Will you swear positively Kennedy was one of the men ? Witness—To the best of my opinion. Baron Foster—When did you swear informations against the prisoners? Witness—The next day. Baron Foster— And did you recollect it better then than you do now ? Witness—l did, my Lord. Baron Foster—You're afraid of another beating, I suppose. Mr. Plunkett—Will you swear yes or no ? Witness— To the best of my opinion. Mr. Plunket—l have directed this man's words to be taken down, my Lord, in order to have him prosecuted for perjury. Judge Crampton—l think a public example ought to be made of him. Mr. Plunkett—He is the principal witness, my Lord, and of course we must now give up the case. Baron Foster—Gentlemen of the Jury, you must acquit the men ; and, I must say, it is very hard, indeed, that not only is intimidation used and violence offered, but where the parties are brought to justice, the prosecutor is intimi dated from proceeding. This, if possible, must be put an end to. The Learned Judge then directed the Jury to ac quit the prisoners, and the Court directed Dalton to be put in the Dock, that informations for perjury might be sworn against him. Well, does not this report afford conclusive evidence of the existence of Ribbonisni ! ()tie of the prisoners, it will be seen, is said, actually to have used the words (horribile dicta ! ) " Hurrah for the north." Now, quoth the dog alluded to that gave tongue yesterday, had Mr. Dalton been knowing enough to have shouted out " All Ireland is good," the aforesaid William Dalton would not have been beaten at all, much less received the several dreadful blows, for the infliction of which the criers of " Hurrah for the north" were arraigned. Hence it is quite plain that the Dalton affair is no ordinary case of combination, but a spark of that popish 'co►:flagration and Ribbon con spiracy which has for its object the extermination of Pro testants, the destruction of the Protestant religion, the overthrow of the Church, the usurpation of the Govern ment, and a catalogue of errors which it were as tedious to enumerate as dreadful to dwell upon ! ! ! We must really be pardoned for not treating this matter seriously, for the whole superstructure raised upon the re port is so fanciful and absurd , that we have been unable to repress the consequences of our perception of the ludicrous as exhibited by the nocturnal caterer for the Conservatives. GENERAL ASSOCIATION OF IRELAND. This body was called into existence by the return of the Orange regime in Lord Haddington's interregnum. Dur ing that interregnum it evinced the most decided energy ; and—considering the temper of the Liberal party, and the very decided difference which prevailed amongst them on one great question—with a moderation truly exemplary. Not only were minor differences sunk, but all matters likely to lead to division placed in abeyance. The consequence was, almost immediately, that the Association gathered within its circle the Liberal men of all parties. The effect of this thorough union was rendered palpable in the results of the General Election in 1835. But the majority was so narrow, during the first Session of that Parliament—the state of parties were so nearly ba lanced in the House of Commons—the well-known re pugnance of the Court, and the probability of another change were so imminent, that it would have been a dere liction of the duty they owed to themselves and the Re form Ministry, if the Association separated in a condition of affairs so very precarious as that we have indicated. Ac cordingly, the Association, though apparently inactive, con tinued on the qui vice. In 1836 the same necessity existed, for during that year the disfavour of the Court became still more manifest ; people could not, for an hour, calculate upon the endurance of the Administration—and the Association accordingly continued. In the early part of the present year, in consequence of the repeated defeats which the Ministry suffered in the House of Lords, and the absatite impossibility, with the court against them, of forcing the Second Estate to listen to reason—almost every one expected that an abrupt dis solution would take place. The only question at issue seemed to be this—whether the advice to the Crown for this purpose would be tendered by Sir R. Peel or Lord Melbourne. In the meantime, William IV. contracted his last illness. The nature of his Majesty's complaint was speedily ascer tained ; and it was known, of course, that a dissolution was inevitable. The Association saw that much business was to be done —business of the most important, of the most vital neces sity—and without much speeching, aided by the Trades' Union, they set to work accordingly. The success was complete. We have given to the Re form Minister, and to our beloved and youthful Sovereign, an Irish majority.—Dublin Evening Post. A very important point has been recently established in favour of the Clergy, respecting the execution of Civil Bill Decrees. This decision arose out of a correspondence be tween Government and the Sheriff of the County of Ar magh, and the result is, " that the Sheriff is bound in person, or by his sub-Sheriff. or by his own Bailiff, to execute Civil Bill Decrees, and that it is discretionary with the party having the decree to take a special warrant or not, and that the Sheriff cannot compel the parties to take out a special warrant, if they do not think proper themselves to do so.' —Dublin Mail. (From the Dublin Freeman's Journal.) DISSOLUTION OF THE GENERAL ASSOCIA TION. The General Association of Ireland has ceased to exist. It was organised, j and set in m o ti on , f or t h e express pur pose of extorting justice, through the moral influence of le gal and constitutional agitation. The necessity for such a body no longer exists. Our present rulers are not only in clined, but anxious to place us on a perfect equality—social and political with England and Scotland. The Queen is in favour of justice to Ireland. The Ministry have already proved themselves our friends. We now rely implicitly in the good intentions of both. But if we should be again disappointed--if the cup should be once more dashed from our lips, either through the treachery of false friends, or the continued hostility of unrelenting enemies—w e have a remedy in our hands. England must act justly by Ireland. She must legislate for us in the same spirit as for the other portions of the empire, or she must prepare to concede to us the privilege of legislating for ourselves. Once more has the representative organ of the Irish people confided_of per sonal im plicitly in the g oa d i n t en ti ons o f th e Ministry. He has sacrificed much of p ersona l f ee li ng , an d—it may be —of popularity, in recommending the abandonment of agi tation for a season. But few who read his admirable ad dress at yesterday's meeting will say that he h as not for tified his advice by a chain cogent—if not unanswerable —reasoning. The General Association of Ireland—a body possessed of moral influence and power only inferior to ifs predecessor and model, the Catholic Association —has been dissolved. Whether it shall ever be revived depends not on us, but those whose blind and bigotted hostility to Ireland first called it into existence. It isi.just possible, but scarcely probable now that the sun of royal favour sheds such a be nignant light on our hitherto ill-treated country—that the enemies of Ireland may compel us to depend once more on ourselves and our own exertions ; and in that case Mr. O'Connell (who is fond of quoting Byron's opinion as to the necessity of personal exertions on the part of " hereditary . bondsmen") may adopt another stanza of the noble bard's in which he tells an oppressed people to " Trust not for freedom to the Franks, • • In native arms, and native ranks, The only hope of freedom dwells." TO LORD CLONCURRY. MY LORD,—I beg leave, with the highest respect, to in form your Lordship that I, as Member for the county of Kerry, purpose to avail myself of your Lordship's invitation to the Representatives of Ireland, to meet you in Dublin between the Ist and Bth of November, to consult on the present state of affairs as regards our country. I deem it of special importance that we should do so, at a time when the free representation of the Irish people is assailed by a conspiracy unexampled in the annals of political turpitude. I have the honour to be, my Lord, Your Lordship's obedient humble servant, M. J. O'CONNELL. Grena, Killarney, Oct. 29, 1837. ACCIDENT AT THE THAMES TUNNEL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Thames Tunnel-office, Walbrook-buildings, 3d Nov., 1837, one o'clock, p.m. Sin,—Having this moment returned from the Thames Tunnel, I beg to enclose you an account of the accident which took place at these works this morning, as collected from the chief engineer, Mr. Brunel, and no doubt by to morrow shall be enabled to furnish you with further parti. culars.—l am, Sir, your most obedient servant, J. CHARLIER, Clerk to the Company. " At a few minutes before four o'clock this morning (it being then nearly high water) a sudden irruption of the river took place and filled the tunnel. Every necessary pre caution had been taken to secure the retreat of the work men in case of any accident taking place ; but, unfortu nately, on calling over their names, one of the miners was found missing ; and upon inquiry being made of his fellow workmen, it was ascertained that he was last seen returning to the shield instead of attending to the orders which had been given for all the men to ascend the shaft, and which was safely effected by about seventy other individuals." Thames Tunnel-office, Walbrook-buildings, Friday Evening. SIR-With reference to my communication of this morn ing, I beg to enclose herewith, for the information of the public, a further account of last night's occurrences which preceded the irruption of the river Thames into the Tun nel, as they are recorded by the engineer then on duty, and which I have extracted from the daily journal which is kept at the Company's works.—l am, Sir, Your very obedient servant, .1. CHAR LIER, Clerk to the Company. " Relieved Mr. Crawford at eleven o'clock last night. I went below and examined all the faces. At 12 o'clock found No. 1 rather uneasy, yet not more so than Nos. 10, 11, and 12, had been. 1 therefore reported to Mr. Bru nel at one o'clock that every thing was well, and the works below in fair progress. " Mr Page, the acting engineer, having been taken sud denly ill, and ordered by his medical attendant to go to bed, I did not think it necessary to disturb him. At about three o'clock I came up from the Tunnel, and found Mr. Brunel at the Office in the yard of the works, and repor ted to him that things were then much the same as they had been in many instances, and that every precaution had been taken to have proper materials at hand for securing every thing. I returned dow❑ to the shield approach ing four o'clock, (it being then near high water,) and discovered an increased quantity of sand and shells mixed with a portion of black gravel running from a hole cut in the second poling-board from the top-floor plate in No. 1 frame ; I then gave directions to have planks, straw, &c., in readiness in case of any sudden increase, and that a careful watch be kept, and to inform me if any change took place. A little before four o'clock I was sitting in the cross gangway, and had just finished writing a note to Mr. Brunel, to inform him (as is customary during the night) of the state of things in general, when Williams, the foreman of the shaft, came to me and stated that the run of sand, &c., had very much increased, and wished to know if he had not better continue to block up the faces of Nos. 1, 2, and 3, which he had commenced a few minutes pre viously._ I went with him into the box, and found the sand, &c., running with considerable force from all parts of that face. 1 then ordered the blocking up to be continued with the greatest expedition possible. Williams went to the lower stage fur the purpose of ascertaining the state of the middle and bottom faces, when he discovered that part of the poling boards from Nos. 1,2, 3, and 4, of the middle boxes had been driven out ; and the water rushing in, he immediately gave the alarm for all hands to run, and from that time to the filling of the tunnel it did not occupy more than about five minutes. "We all ran with the greatest speed to the shaft. I then lulled for a time, and I again, in company with Wil liams, Collier, and Cook, went down the archway nearly 200 feet, and saw the water rolling up the roadway in ter rific appearance. We then ran to the staircase, and watched it there for a short time, and finally ascended to the top of the shaft, where the water arrived a very few seconds after us. " When at the top I met Mr. Brunel : I then had all the names called over, and found only one missing—' Gar land,' an old man, a miner. It was a most providential thing that the gangway* at the crown of the west arch bad been extended and finished, for had that not been there many of us must inevitably have perished. (Signed) " J. FRANCIS, Engineer on duty. " Thames Tunnel Works, Nov. 3, 1837." * This gangway had been orginally constructed and subsequently extended by Mr. Brunel's order, to give greater facilities for the retreat of the men in case of acci dent occurring, and thereby also enable them to stand longer at their post on occasions of either alarm or danger. J. CHARLIER. DISTILLERIES IN SCOTLAND. We copy from our excellent Contemporary, the Edin burgh Scotsman, the following remarks, from which this trade seems in a most deplorable situation indeed. Why do the Distillers not get the Members of both Houses of Parliament and the landed interest, (who will soon feel the want of these distilleries for the inferior barley that is not fit for making), immediately to go forward to Government, and have their complaints redressed? They have a consi derable share of Liberal Members that would certainly be ready to do it—Sandy did not use to be so far behind. We recollect their exertions in 1830, about additional duties on their spirits without any on rum ; and again, in 1831, about foreign molasses, in both of which, with the assistance of the landed interest, they succeeded in defeating the mea sures proposed ; so that Sandy must just try his exertions again—he is not usually beaten out of the field : (From the Scotsman of Wednesday.) INEQUALITY OF THE EXCISE LAWS AS THEY AFFECT THE SCOTCH AND ENGLISH DIS. TILLERS. We are sorry to learn that a large distillery in this vi cinity engaged in the English trade, perhaps the oldest established and most extensive in the three kingdoms, has been lately laid idle, and that several other distillers, who manufactured spirits for that market on an extensive scale, are also taking steps to close their operations. This has been attributed to the superior advantages which the Eng lish distillers enjoy in the process of manufacture, and af terwards in reference to the Excise laws, and which have enabled them to undersell the Scotch distillers. By the distillery law, a discretionary power is vested in the Board of Excise ; and while the law is applied with the utmost rigour to the Scotch trader, considerable latitude is allowed the English. Thus, first, while the Scotch distillers must pay down the duties on spirits exported by them before it leaves the distillery, the English are allowed three weeks' credit. 2dly, While the Scotch distillers are charged with the duty on the quantity exported, as it measures when the spirits leave the distillery, the English are charged with the quantity which they place in the recti fier's stock, in consequence of which the Scotch are com pelled to pay duties on the deficiency arising from waste and evaporation on the passage of the article to its destination, while the English suffer no such loss. And idly, While all spirits sent from Scotland to England are measured at the distillery before they are despatched, and the quantity marked upon the cask, and again examined and re-measured before delivery to the purchaser, no such regulation is en forced with respect to the English distiller. The Scotch distillers complain that the latitude thus afforded to their neighbours, has opened a door for so many brea c h es o f t h e reven ue laws, that it is in vain for them to compete with their more favoured brethren. Besides this, the English distillers have many advantages ove r the S co t c h i n t h e i r mode of working under the revenue laws, which it would be tedious to point out. The Scotch distillers have repeatedly represented the hardship of their case to the Lords of the Treasury ; but as yet they have got no redress. With a uniform system of laws, and equally strict survey, it is im possible that the English distill ers can un d erse ll t h e S cotc h, who have in their favour long experience, and a perfect knowledge of the business, besides cheap labour and com paratively cheap materials. Such a state of things has not occurred for the last forty years, and demands the attention of our landed proprietors. The late severe gales have made sad havoc : a mong . other places, the stately groves belonging to the Countess of Dysart, at Ham House, Petersham, have suffered severely. MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS SUDBURY, Nov. 3.—The election of four Town Coun cillors of this Borough has been very severely contested, and the result, as annexed, is a grand triumph to the Reformers, they having returned three staunch and inflexible Reformers to the Council : CANDIDATES. Mr. Andrew Peacock, silk-manufacturer (Reformer) 405 tri Mr. Thomas Ginn, sen., builder (Tory) Mr. William Spooner, draper (Reformer) Mr. H. B. Smith, Surgeon (Reformer) 11r. J. C. Gooday, surveyor of taxes (Reformer) 332 * Mr. H. R. Rolfe, draper (Tory) 292 Mr. John King, Sadler (Tory) W. B. Jones, Esq., gentleman (Tory) All the above gentlemen are of the Church of England. As Mr. Smith and Mr. Gooday were equal in number the Mayor, George Andrews, Esq., with his two assessors, se lected Mr. Smith. Those marked thus * went out of office on the Ist inst. (FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) The election of four Councillors for this borough was very strongly contested on Wednesday last ; each party proposed four candidates. The Tories, finding they had no chance of success, united all their efforts to elect two of their party, in which they were unsuccessful. The elec tion terminated in the return of three staunch Reformers and one Tory. Mr. J. C. Gooday and Mr. W. B. Smith, the two Reform candidates, lowest in the list, being equal, the selection of one of them fell to the Tory Mayor, who chose Mr. Smith. The following numbers were polled by each candidate : (R) Andrew Peacock 405 (T) Thomas Ginn (R) William Spooner 335 (R) William B. Smith 332 HULL. (R) J. C. Gooday ... 332 (T) Wm. R. Rolfe... 292 (T) John King ....... 155 (T) Wm. B. Jones... 16 The election of two Councillors for each of the seven wards of this borough took place on Wednesday, and passed off very quietly ; indeed, several of the booths were closed about noon, in consequence of no votes having been tendered for upwards of an hour. Not a Tory received one vote in the whole borough. The entire Council will, consequently, still consist of such persons only as received the suffrages of the Reformers—a pretty clear indication that the town is not yet " too hot fur them."—Hall Ob server. _ _ BEVERLEY. Notwithstanding, for the last ten days, an active canvass having been carried on for the Tories, by all the squire archy and priesthood in Beverley and its vicinity—notwith standing the placarding of the walls with most scurrilous hand-bills, impugning the character and the motives of se veral respectable individuals in Beverley, more than one of which placards or bills will find employment for the gentle men of the long robe before many (lays hence—notwith standing the threats, falsehoods, and drunkenness, and every base means, the Tories have been beaten in their boasted attempt to return their party in the Council. The friends of Liberal principles have triumphed ; five Tories and one Reformer go out of office this year ; and by Wednesday's election, four Reformers have been elected.—lbid. DEVONSHIRE. The result of our Municipal elections is a most admirable comment upon the Tory cry of " re-action." The Refor mers have elected eight of the twelve; and one Reformer lost his seat by a majority of two only, and another by thirteen ; thus seventeen voice; would have given the Re formers ten out of twelve ; so much for re-action, and the success of the Tory objections to the Municipal registra tion ! Thus every year adds another nail to the coffin of Toryism. The Aldermen will be elected 1888, next No vember, and as the Reformers will then be able to put in six Aldermen, we shall be able to say in the words of Richard : " The Tory Hopes may bid the world good night." —Devonshire NORTHAMPTON. The result of this contest is most gratifying ; the zealous endeavours of our friends have secured for their cause that ascendancy in the Council, which we confidently believe they will long retain. The Corporation is now composed of sixteen Reformers and eight Tories.—Northanyton Chronicle. NOTTINGHAM. The cause of liberality and freedom is triumphant, and the fear of the dominancy of- the Tories in the Town Council of Nottingham is destroyed. We hailed with joy the overthrow of the old close Cor poration system ; for although the Corporation of Notting ham had acted liberally—had voted, petitioned, and re monstrated on the side of freedom, in those dark days for England, Ireland, and Scotland, when Pitt, - Castlereagh, and Co. immured some of the best patriots in dungeons, or transported them to distant climes ; in those memorable periods when the Habeas Corpus Act was suspended, and Gagging Bills passed, the Corporation of Nottingham lifted up its voice against such monstrous injustice; and whe Toryism was rampant in the land, dared to be honest i the worst of times. They were men and Britons.—No4 lingliain Review. NORWICH. " The choice of 16 Councillors, under the Act, took place on Wednesday last. Of the sixteen places to be supplied, ten had been held by Liberals and six by Conser vatives. The result of the elections has been to give eight for the Conservatives and eight to the Whig-Radicals, thus increasing the Conservative party in the Council Chamber two." This is the account furnished by the Norfolk Chro nide, a Tory paper, whose matter of fact statements although, of course, somewhat spiced by party, are always substan tially accurate, and such as may be implicitly relied upon. There were, we learn, contests in four wards only, viz.— the third, fourth, sixth, and eighth. In two out of the four the Tories were successful. PONTEFRACT. The four retiring members are Liberals ; two of those returned are Liberals and two Conservatives. EAST RETFORD. On Wednesday last, the election of four councillors for this borough took place in the Town-Hall. The struggle was between Mr. Flower and Mr. Hudson, the former hav ing the advantage until about three o'clock, when Mr. H.'s friends poured in, and won by a majority of 12. THE JOKE CAPITAL !—lt appears that in the Registra tion Court, at Mansfield, out of thirteen objections made by the Tories for the town of Mansfield, five of them were their own friends ! On discovering their mistake, they wished to to withdraw their opposition, but the Liberals ar gued, that as the case was brought before the Court, and service of notice of objection had been proved, they would take up the objections themselves, and the five names were accordingly expunged. In that division of the county (North Nottinghamshire), the Liberals have cut off 186 more than the Tories.—Doncaster Gazette. STOCKPORT.—The Reformers have maintained their ground here. BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS BaussEts, Nov. I.—The average prices of wheat and rye in the week ending the 28th Oct., were as follows : Whe at, 171. 07c. ; Rye, 1 lf. 05c. per hectolitre. Import duties, 37f. 50c. and 21f. 50c. per 1,000 kilogrammes. The Chamber of Representatives, in the sittings of 28th, 30th, and 31st Oct., continued the debate on the pro ject of law for making some alterations in the Tariff of Customs. AUGSBURG, OCT. 27.—Sir Robert Peel and his family arrived here yesterday afternoon. In the evening there was a concert at the hotel at which he put up ; the com pany were disappointed in their hopes of seeing the Right Hon. Baronet, who is on his return to London, to be pre sent at the opening of the Session of Parliament. AUGSBURG, OCT. 28.—His Royal Highness Prince William, eldest son of the Prince of Orange, arrived here yesterday from Innspruck, on his return from Italy. BERLIN, OCT. 23.—We find, by the last letters from Odessa, that the Emperor Nicholas has changed the first plan of his journey ; and instead of taking the road by land, along the Kuban to lekaterinodar, has sailed direct to Gelindschik, the port of the Caucasus, between Anapa and Sudjouk-Kale. It is conjectured that he will there meet General Weliaminoff, who, with a division of 10,000 or 12,000 men, lately made a diversion from the Govern ment of Astrachan to Gelindschik, where there is now a fortified camp. No particulars are known here of the rea sons for this change in the course first proposed. VIENNA, OCT. 25.—Court and public are here highly gratified by the reception which Archduke John met with from the Sultan. The audience took place on the Bth. The Sultan made three steps to meet the Archduke, em braced him, presented to him his son and heir-apparent, and declared, " that this heir would, after his (the Sultan's) death, continue the close alliance of Turkey w►th the House of Austria." The letters written by the Archduke's suite teem with accounts of the Sultan's courteousness and mag nificence. On the 10th there was a superb fete given at Beglerbey, when the Sultan made the Archduke sit by his side. The Archduke is expected here by the 20th of next month. An unusual inundation has taken place at the quick silver mines of Idria. The works are completely put a stop to. BELGIAN I. UNDS—Ba.ussus, OCT. 31. Actual Debt, .`N per Cent.

The t a bl es were laid ou t 10 the large room, which was tastef u lly fitt e d u p with flag", and artificial flowers. Each end of the room was lig hts up by a brilliant star in gas. Th e n um b er o f guests vvh ° sat down to dinner did not exce e d 200, w hi c h - may be se r i counted for partly by the high pri ce o f the tickets , o partly by the dinner party having b een go t u p s o long af t e r . the Queen's arrival, and when, the re f ore , muc h of the e% citement to do honour to her Majesty had settled down into respectful attachment. Mr. T. H. Wright, the High Ce ti : stable, took the Chair—this honour being usually conferrea upon him—and was supported on his right by Colonel Sir A. J. Dalrymple, Bart., M.P. ; Si r D.
