WOODHEAD.—About one o'clock ;;Friciaynorning (yesterday) a small stream, carried by a culvert under the Manchester and Saltersbrojk turnpike•road at Woodticad, beceme so swollen from the excessive rains, that the Lulvert, unable to bear the pressure from within, burst, bringing down with it the turnpike road and part of the embankment, consisting of earth and rock, many hundred tons in weight, right across the line of the Sheffield and Manchester Railway. The railway of course was rendered impassable for some hours, and passengers had to be ta'cen over the hall by stage-coaches, which were immediately provided but the labour of 150 men wrs not long in making an impression, and by three o'clock in the after noon the mass of material was so far removed as to admit of the trains proceeding as usual No injury appears to have been occa sioned to the railway beyond the temporary stoppage from this un expected irruption of the turnpike-mai and is woi ks.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENIN'Gr, JULY 11, 1846. himself, in his speech at the repeal banquet at Dun dalk, bore the most honourable testimony to the cha racter and qualifications of Mr. REDINGTON. He said, " I should be untrue in fact, and unjust in detail, if I said one word derogatory to Mr. REDINGTON. I say he is a gentleman—a Christian gentleman— a gentleman of faith—a gentleman of vir tue. He is a gentleman of great value— one of the first gentlemen in the country." And in the course of his speech, he admitted, that "if any man could be accepted as their representative who had but one fault, it was Mr. REDINGTON ;" and, also, that " if his son was in the majority, and the last vote was polled, that he would use the influence which he possessed over his son, and withdraw him from the contest, ifMr. REDINGTON would declare him self a repealer." Here, then, we have the most entire approval of all Mr. REDINGTON'S political views, save on one question, which its warmest advocates must admit to be quite impracticable, at least during the continuance of the present Parliament. That the proceeding did not meet with the cordial concur rence of the repealers themselves, may be gathered from the fact, that not a single Roman Catho lic clergyman connected with the town of Dundalk was present at the entertainment; and also from the short but very expressive letter of the Rev. Mr. COYNE, the parish priest of the town, who expresed his strongest disapprobation of the time, the manner, and the object of bringing young Mr. O'Corittsw. to the town under existing circumstances. We admit the natural desire that must be felt by Mr. O'CONNELL to have his youngest and favourite son in Parliament, but we have ever believed and still believe him to be too sincere a pa triot to injure his country for any personal con sideration ; besides, he will doubtless ere long have many opportunities of gratifying that desire. The present Parliament cannot exist much longer ; it must speedily he dissolved by the efflux of time. Mr. D. O'CONNELL, jun., is still very young, and another year in private life cannot be disadvantageous to him. We will still hope for a wiser determination and that a contest for Dundalk will not present a con trast to the almost unanimous approbation with which the members of the new Ministry have been received by their constituents. Letters from Warsaw of the 28th ult. state:that several of the inhabitants of that city have had their property confiscated for taking part in the recent political movement, and that many have in addition been exiled to the mines of Siberia. From Cracow we learn that M. WENDA, a landed proprietor, who took part in the late insurrection, and was given up by Prussia to the Russian authorities, has been sen tenced at Randon to transportation to Siberia, with previous exposure to two hours in the pillory. The Grand Duke CONSTANTINE arrived at Elsineur on the 20th ult., on board the Ingermannland. The next day be landed at Copenhagen and paid his re spects to the King of DENMARK, and on the follow ing day he sailed for St. Petersburgh. The POPE has appointed the Abbe GRAZIOSI as his private secretary. The Abbe was formerly his tutor. His Holiness has conferred the order of St. Gregory on Professor BETTI, Secretary of the Academy of St. Luc, and author of Italia Illustre. His Holiness is exceedinOy popular. At Sinigaglia, his birth-place, in the midst of the demonstrations of joy which his elevation has called forth, a society has been formed to raise a statue to him, and to restore an ancient aqueduct for furnishing water to the town, to be called Acquapia, in allusion to his name of Pins. The subscription already amounts to 80,000 scudi. The Madrid mail, of the 4th had not reached Paris at the hour the post left on Thursday. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The circular of M. DUCHATEL, the Minister of the Interior, which we published yesterday, on the subject of the approaching elections, is commented on in all of them. The Ministerial journals, the Debats and the Epoque, extol it, of course, as the perfection of wisdom. The Presse, which is by no means an un deviating supporter of the Soult-Guizot Ministry speaks of it in the following terms :- ' " We can only give our entire approbation to the publica tion of this circular. Parties may discuss the principles upon which it is based, but they cannot contest the frank ness with which they are set forth. This, in our eyes, is what recommends it, and gives to it the importance of a truly praiseworthy act of the Government." The Constitutionnel, of course, finds fault with the acts of the Ministry in general, and of M. GUIZOT in particular, while M. TniEnsisrepresented as the beau ideal of a perfect constitutional statesman. The Na tional is furious, and the Courrier Francais denounces the circular as a useless falsehood and a gross insult to the good sense of the country. It was reported on the Bourse on Wednesday, that a portion of the Great Northern Railroad, which crosses a bog between Douay and Arras, had given way during the passage of a train over it, and that eleven persons had been killed and several wounded. Herßoyal Highness the Princess AUGUSTA of Saxe Coburg-Gotha (Princess CLEMENTINE of Orleans, daughter of King Louts PHILIPPE), was delivered of a Princess, at the Palace of Neuilly, on Wednesday. The Moniteur publishes the law opening an extra ordinary credit of 25,174,741 f. for the maintenance in Algeria of 34,000 men and 3,317 horses, in ad dition to the effective force fixed by the law of July 19, 1844.

There is a ship arrival, bringing papers cf June 5, from Pernambuco. The accounts from London per express reached there on the 3d. The Legislative Chambers appear to have fully concurred in the views of the Emperor's Government, as to the necessity of resisting our desires upon the slave trade question. The American advices are so fully given in another column, that we need only remark that they have afforded considera ble satisfaction. There had been some changes in the Government at Montreal, but not of prominent importance. We understand that another quick arrival of a cargo of Pine apples, by the Lady Coiling, from the West Indies in twenty-six days, has taken place, being a further proof of the superior build of vessels that are employed in bringing cargoes of a perishable nature to this country, which with any wind of a favourable character compete even with steam navigation.

The election of a Member for the borough of Hertford, to fill the seat vacated by the Hon. Mr. Cowper, he having ac cepted the office of one of the Lords of the Admiralty under the new Administration, took place this morning, in the Town-ball of Hertford, at the unusual hour of eight o'clock. There was no opposition, and the *me Hon. Gentleman passed through the ordeal of a re-election in the customary manner. The MAYOR (Joseph Lawrence, Esq.) presided on the occa sion, and stated that he had called the electors together earlier than usual, because he was anxious that there'should be no obstruction to the business of the assizes, which they were aware was carried on in the hall they were occupying He need not remind them that the Hon. Mr. Cow per, having accepted the office of one of the Lords of the Admiralty, had ceased to become their represen tative in the House of Commons, and they had met together to elect another Memher. He trusted their proceedings would be characterised ,with their former propriety and decorum, and having said thus much, it only remained for him to ask any elector if he had any candidate to nominate. Mr. MANGER then supped forward, and in a short address proposed the Hon. Mr. Cowper, who, he said, had always sup ported their interests and the interests of the borough, and had never betrayed the trust which his brother electors had on four successive occasions reposed in him.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. J. J. GRIPPER seconded the nomination, and in doing so said he concurred in what had fallen from the gentleman who preceded him. The MAYOR asked if there was any elector present who had any other candidate to propose ? No answer being given to this inquiry, the Mayor put the motion to the vote, and it was carried without a single hand being held up against it. The MAYOR then declared that the Right Hon. William Cowper had been duly elected to serve as the representative of the borough of Hertford in the House of Commons. The Right Hon. GENTLEMAN then stepped forward, but the slight applause which greeted him was restrained by the Mayor, who remarked that the judges were under the same roof, and it would therefore be better that they should refrain from cheering.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. COWPER said this was the fifth time the electors had done him the honour of returning him for their representative in Parliament, and he must con fess, that while he felt •deeply grateful for the con fidence they had so long reposed in his integrity and conduct, he was no 'less sensible of the magnitude and importance of the task he was again undertaking.—(Hear.) He would, never theless, assure them that they need be under no apprehension that his being in office under Lord J. Russell's Administration would make him the less watchful of their interests in the House of Commons, for he was convinced his character of servant to her Majesty was in no way incompatible with that of a representative of the people.—(Hear, hear.) He must now congratulate them upon the triumph of those liberal principles for which they and the constituencies of England had been so long struggling.— (Hear, hear.) It was a great victory on the part of the people over monopoly, and he for one looked upon it as the commencement of a liberal and enlightened policy, which would result in still greater triumphs, and tend still further to advance the happiness, prosperity, and welfare, not only of this nation, but of the whole world.—(Hear, hear.) He was sensible of the fact that his vote upon the May nooth question had given offence to some few of his consti tuents, but he was convinced if those who were dissatisfied with his vote would examine, calmly and dispassionately, the Christian spirit in which that measure of conces sion was dictated, they would find in the end that he had acted for the best in supporting the Maynooth Bill.—(Hear, hear.) Again thanking them for the honour they had done him, he had only to add that he hoped they would never have cause to regret the confidence they had reposed in him.—(Cheers.) A vote of thanks was carried to the Chairman, and the pro ceedings, which occupied little more than half an hour, ter minated. [We beg to return our sincere thanks to Mr. Rooney and the authorities of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, for the facilities which they afforded to our reporters in getting to and from Hertford ; and for their kindness in offering to send up the report, slip by slip, per electric telegraph, an offer of which we did not avail ourselves, as there was ample time to express up the report. Had there been a contest, however, or had the proceed ings been continued to a late hour, we should have gladly availed ourselves of this kind offer, for which we again tender them our sincere thanks.—En.

PHIVATEERING IN THE ATLANTIC.-Our Liverpool shipping intelligence contains the following :—" Jamaica, June 6—The Telegraph, Young, arrived here from New Orleans, reports that off Cape Antonio she fell in with a long, low, black schooner, of about 150 tons, heavily armed, Baltimore built, which came within speaking distance, hoist ing the Spanish merchant flag, with two vessels in company, apparently prizes, and lulling up to give chace to en Ame rican." DEATH OF WILLIAM TYRINGUAM PRAED, ESQ., M.P. ___ —We have to announce the demise of Mr. Praed, M.P. for St. Ives, Cornwall, who expired on Wednesday evening, at his residence in St. James's-place, aged 65. He was the son of the late William Praed, Esq., of Tyringham, Bucks, and was born in 1780. He was first returned for the borough in 1838. At the general election, in 1841, there was a severe contest for the representation, Mr. Praed succeeding only by a majority of four votes. The deceased was a partner in the banking firm of Praed and Co., and possessed considerable property in Cornwall, and we believe els) in Bucks. He was a Conservative in politics, and when elected, iu 1841, an nounced himself a Protectionist. THE TAUNTON ELECTION AND " THE SUN" NEWS PAPELL—The untiring energy which has placed the evening Sun at the head of all its immediate rivals for the public sopport was again evinced yesterday in the instance of the Taunton election, a report of which, to the extent of upwards of a column, appeared in the third edition of The Sun, pub. fished noon after seven o'clock last night. The proceedings, which resulted in the unopposed return of Mr. Labouchere, were not terminated before noon. The reporter had then to get to the station, travel a distance of 163 miles to Padding ton, proceed from thence to The Sun office, in the Strand, and hand the report to the compositors in slips as fast as he could transcribe it from his notes. It must then have been set up, corrected, and machined before the finished work could be placed in the hands of subscribers; and yet this gigantic task, which requires for its performance such a wonderful combination of means and intellect, is only a part of the or•• dinary business almost daily transacted by the conductors of The Sun. This may be called "living last ;" it is rolling hours into minutes, and familiarizing us with wonders.— Family Times. FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterdly afternoon, about half past two o'clock, as a man named James Mason, stable kteper, of No. 5, Red Lion-yard, Holborn, was proceeding along the foot-pavement opposite Day and .

Ile was imm e di ate l y picked up an d conve yed in a state of insensibility' to King's College Hospital, where life was found to be quite extinct The unfortunate deceased, who was 46 years of age, has left a wife and family to deplore his melancholy end. SALE of the FORD ABBEY ESTATE This property, which has had considerable publicity given to it by Mr. George Robins in consequence of its antiquity, and the fame that has now descended through very many generations, came off (to use a sporting term) yesterday at the Mart; and as the value of land has been a disputed point, and the agriculturists have been in a state approaching a panic, it is due to them to give the result of this certain mode of of ascertaining the worth of an opinion formed upon such an erronel..fs basis : and first as to this far-famed property. The abbey, which is decidedly the finest monastery throughout England, and its outward form and character quite un approachable, is in great need of a large outlay within ; but no man of good taste will deny this sacrifice with a view to restore it to its pristine state. The description of the abbey, with an historical account appended, is got up marvellously well in the printed particulars, by a talented lady—( it is whispered to be the handiwork of a Mrs. Allen, a relation of the late possessor, Mr. Gwvnne). This traces the origin of this splendid building (with a 300-feet frontage) to the time of William the Conqueror, and the perusal of it must delight all those who value, and are deeply read in, antiquity. The Goblin tapestry, which adorns the interior, and is estimated at 10,0001., or 20,0031., is not included, but is to be sold with the collection of Dutch and Flemish pictures, at the approach ing sale, next month. The tapestry can hardly be sufficiently appreciated : it is quite matchless. 7 .flte demesne of Ford Abbey extends to 1,150 acres, in farms, beautifully diversified by hill and dale, cascades and waterfalls. The farms are let, and those in perspective we will enumerate, in order to judge impartially of the result. Thus it is— The farms let at Tha abbey (unlet), gardens, and 80 acres of woodland, estimated at , . The reversion to lands out on lease, 80 acres 165 Supposed value per annum A total of 1,873/. a year is thus shown, although only 1,385/. is the present receipt. The result will be better shown and appreciated by the following calculation. The actual rental, taken at thirty• two years' purchase, is 44,320/., to which must be added for the prospective rent of 4901., in addition (say twenty years' purchase): this adds 9,0001. Thus it is— The farms let (say), 44,320/., at 32 years' purchase. lhe prospective rent, 9,800/., at 20 ditto. 54,1201. Now we will compare these high prices with the actual result. The first bidding was 40,000/., but Mr. Robins deals only in guineas, and the biddings proceeded thus until it reached 02,000 guineas, at which it was knocked down to a Mr. Gwynne, of Teignmouth (a curious coincidence this, although no relation, it should be sold to a namesake). Now after this matter-of• fact statement, what will the alarmists say to this—what apology have they in store for Sir Robert Nei, whom they have vilified for so many months past? Let them refer to the Warwickshire estate, sold by Mr. Robins a fortnight since for 50,000 guineas to Lord Craven for 3:2 1 ,6 years' purchase, on a rack-rent. Then look at the corrobora tion by the result of Ford Abbey, upwards of 102,000 gui neas, in two sales (and within fourteen days of one another), at these advanced prices. If they have the slightest proper feeling, let them 'tido their diminished heads, and crave Sir Robert to forgive them. No more, I pray you, let me bear f the ruin of the agricultural world. It would be perfec . ,ly silly now to argue this point again.—Sun. LYPIATT PARK, GLOUCESTER. This beautiful estate being announced for public sale in our columns, by Mr. George Robins, and possessing, as it does, unusual interest as connected with the history of our country, we think some notice of it may not be unacceptable to our readers. Lypiatt Park is situate at a short remove from Stroud, and is reached from London in three hours ; the country around is exceed ingly beautiful, indeed the Vale of Chalfont, which is close to the estate, has long been deemed the most lovely part of Gloucestershire. The residence is in the old castellated style, partaking of the gothic order of architecture. A portion of it bears evident signs of great antiquity, whilst the venerable chapel and dove cote are fine specimens of the olden time ; indeed, the former seems as it were to have outlived all the vicissi tudes to which the doctrine first promulgated within its walls has been subjected to, and to offer its holy and peaceful appearance as an attraction to some Catholic family to become the possessor of the estate. The chapel is said to have been erected in the time of Stephen, and that its walls have never been desecrated. Passing over the families to whom the property belonged during, the Tudor reigns, we find in the time of .James I. that Lypiatt Park was the seat of the celebrated Sir J. Throckmorton, the projector of the Gunpowder Plot, who at its outset held many of its private meetings in one of the chambers of the present mansion, which, strange to say, after a lapse of so many years, is still preserved. The estate passed through several hands, and in the time of Charles I. was occu pied by one of his adherents, and was consequently be sieged by the army of the Parliament, and seriously devastated. It remained a mass of ruins for a long period, a portion of it only being habitable until Sir Paul Baghott became the possessor and conceived its restoration and extension in the olden style, and with the assistance of Sir Jeffery Wyattville reared a most beautiful structure ; but it was left to the present pro prietor to alter, improve, and bring to perfection for its size the most elegant and complete chateau that can be found amongst England's boasted beauties. Of the ex terior it is impossible to speak too much in praise ; its ivy-wreathed towers and walls, its oriel windows, tur• retted embattlements and cloistered avenue, form a tout ensemble which cannot fail to please the mind's eye of the most fastidious in classical architecture; whilst in the interior the effect is ore of surpassing beauty and variety, combining taste with comfort, and nobility with simplicity. From the end windows the most lovely and diversifying scene is presented, and from those of the noble corridor, the Monk's Garden is seen in all the quietude and repose necessary for contemplation. The domain extends to 231 acres of rich land, and is diversi fied by hill and dale, with a singularly beautiful eminence, or terrace, on which the mansion is seated, and from whence an extensive panorama is presented ; the home grounds being ornamented by noble and thriving timber, with a stately avenue leading in one direction, a rookery in the distance, and, descending through a thorn grove to a mead of surpassing quietude and richness, bounded by a wood of noble beech trees, and of great extent, through which a path winds impervious to the summer's heat, catching ever and anon the most charming peeps of the varying scene. Much interest is excited by the in tended sale of this property, and if report be true, more than one Catholic family of consequence has already been to inspect it. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS.

By the arrival of the Great Western steam-ship at Liverpool, we have received the gratifying and important intelligence that the Oregon treaty, on the 18th of June, received the sanction of the Senate by a majority of forty-one to fourteen. All further conjectures as to the upshot of this eccentric squabble between Great Britain and the United States are consequently prevented from this moment. With the tocsin of Mexican warfare still ringing in their ears, the Legislative Council of the Presidency, to whom the settlement of this delicate question had been trans ferred, has breathed towards the mother country no thing but sentiments the most pacific, and has altogether conducted itself in a manner the most conciliatory. Nor, be it remembered, are these concessions to the demands of our Government the fruits of diplomatic chicanery—they are not the con sequences of any adroit or specious proposition. The sophistries which are usually summoned to the as sistance of the plenipotentiary have in this instance been neglected, and a strange candour (which in many respects is without a precedent) has been adopted by the representatives of both empires. Much as certain individuals across the Atlantic had become infected with a belligerent spirit, wordy as were their invectives upon their British progenitors, extor tionate as were their demands in reference to the colonisation of the Oregon and the navigation of the Columbia—every sentiment is merged into meekness, and all obstacles have given way to acquiescence upon the first sounding of the artillery in Mexico. It is impossible, indeed, to remark the coincident informa tion contained in our last packet from America, namely, that the total amount of funds estimated by the Secretary of War as necessary for the prosecution of the contest with Mexico, from May, 1846, to June, 1847, is somewhere about 19,971,472 dollars—and (here is the coincidence !) that simultaneously with the receipt of this intelligence, we are informed of the arrival in England of the Oregon treaty, as ratified by the Senate of the United States, that document having been conveyed hither under the safeguard of General ARMSTRONG, American . Consul at Liverpool. Any comment upon this casualty of occurrence would be wholly super fluous ; but it may not be considered so entirely superfluous to utter one incidental observa tion upon the behaviour of the English Government when the American outbreak with Mexico was first announced. Instead of seizing that remarkable op portunity for the precipitation of extortionate demands upon the territories of the Oregon—instead of availing herself of the movement when the rival claimant of those colonies was just precipitated into all the embarrassments of a war with adjacent states, and of insisting upon an instant compliance with an immode rate requisition at the juncture when the Presidency was but ill prepared to engage in a double struggle,--the most reasonable propositions are, on the contrary, submitted to the consideration of the National Magistrate, Mr. POLK. This moderation on the part of Great Britain—and especially when there were absolute lures to aggran disement—will not be forgotten very speedily by the nations of the globe. In that ungrasping offer of bringing matters to an amicable settlement, and in the dignity and resolution with which that offer was tendered, the other empires and principalities of the earth will recognise the probity, the power, and the peacefulness of the national spirit in England. They will perceive that the old feudal crusades, for the mere extension of dominion, are regarded by us with abhorrent contempt, and that authority and political vigour cannot, now-a-days, excite any ad ministration of these islands to encroach upon the rights or to avail itself of the dilemmas of another nation. Despite the hostile temperament of Mr. President POLK himself, and the pugnacious oratory of Mr. QUINCY ADAMS and his compatriots, a more humanising spirit has prevailed. By the wisdom and moderation of her MAJESTY'S Councils, by the pa tient, but at the same time unflinching posture of the late Secretary for Foreign Affairs, the Earl of ABERDEEN, and through the good temper by which Mr. PAREN !JAM'S movements have been regulated throughout this protracted correspondence, the difficult problem of the Oregon question has been conducted to the present satisfactory issue. The sword of our empire has still re mained in its scabbard, and England has thereby conquered the prejudices of the American Legisla ture. British moderation will prove more salutary, as an example to other empires, than any warlike conquest. It is with the deepest regret we find that it is the intention of Mr. O'Coertem. to oppose the re-election of Mr. REDINGTON, for Dundalk, and that he has started his son Mr. DANIEL O'CONNELL, j uu., as a candidate for the suffrages of that constituency. We had hoped that greater attentio.n would have been paid to the temperate and prudent recommenda tion contained in the admirable letter of the Earl of MILLTOWN, and that a fair trial would have been afforded to a Ministry who have made the fairest promises as to their intentions with respect to Ireland, and who have even, to the fullest extent, acted up to their liberal professions. The Irish people should recollect that the occasion which has caused the formation of the new Government was the defeat of a :measure of coercion and severity to- I wards their country. They have ever been supposed Ito be a generous and a grateful people; and should they succeed in excluding from the House of Com mons a gentleman of respectability, character, and talent, who has proved himself on all occasions a most valuable and useful representative, and who has devoted his energies to questions of the gravest importance and the deepest interest to his coun trymen, and that, too, on a vacancy occasioned by the success of the opposition to a measure so dis tasteful to the Irish people as the Coercion Bill, they would expose themselves to a weighty charge of the deepest ingratitude. The selection of Mr. REDINGTON l as Under-Secretary for Ireland was highly complimentary to the people of that country, and afforded the strongest proof of the sincerity of the Ministry in their professions, and their anxious desire for the better governance of the country. Mr. REDINGTON hes acquired a profound knowledge on that most pressing of a ll Irish questions, the relationship of landlord and tenant. He was one of the Commissioners selected to inquire into the state of the law and practice in respect to the occupation of land, from which Commission emanated the most valuable recom mendations, measures founded on some of which have already been introduced to the Legislature, with the unanimous approbation of the House and the country ; and it may f a irly be presumed that the remainder of those recommenda tions, including a provision for the reclaiming of the waste lands in that country, will be speedily brought forward under the auspices of the man who joined therein, and who had, in the course of his inquiries, obtained information from persons of every class and condition of life. Mr. O'CONNELL has been loud in his complaints because Ireland is not governed by the Irish. Con he not see that such a line of conduct is eminently calculated to defeat such a result ? If, the moment an Irishman is selected for a responsible situation in the executive administration of the affairs of his native land, his re-election is to be opposed, and he is to be excluded from the Legislature because he happens to differ from Mr. O'CONNELL on one question, and one only, is it not practically compelling the Government to select persons representing Eng. lish constituencies for such offices ?

(FROM OUR LIVERPOOL CORRESPONDENT•) LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY MOBNINO' Shortly after twelve o'clock last night, the steer ship Great Western, Captain IL J 1 atthews, entered t he Mersey, bringing New York papers of the 25th and Washington of the day previous. This arrival f urn i s h es t h e grat if y i ng intelligence of the Oregon treaty having been ratified and passed t he Senate on the 18th of June, by .a majority of Al to 1; ' This document was brought over in the Great Western' under the care of General Armstrong, the United State s Consul at Liverpool, who was also honoured with the dispatch of the British Minister, Mr. Pakenham. The papers by thi s arr i va l f urn i sh a variety of int er esting details relative to the Mexican and United State, , armies; the latter remained up to the latest advices , New Orleans, inactive. Quebec, we regret to say, has again been visited another dreadful fire, with an awful amount of loss ° human life. The theatre took fire, and such was the consternation and alarm, that before the visitors COw' leave the house a large number were burned to dead Up to the time that our advices left that city, fifty d e bodies had been taken from the ruins. A New York paper says, " We are very hapPY learn that England is about to offer her mediations e . it will afford our Government another opportunity to peat the sound views of national policy which have ways guided this union in its dealings withother po'v ers ' If England wishes to come into those views and is p re ' pared to substitute pacific mediation for armed interve lY tion, denouncing all idea of founding the latter upon tye former, and will, at the same time, accept our proffer ed mediation for restoring peace in South America, Tie have no doubt she will find our Government prepared t ° meet her. It is true, indeed, that when General Jac k son received William the Fourth's mediation in 0 7 quarrel with France, and when we o ff ere d ou r !new' ation to sottle the dispute between the allied monarch ies and the South American re p u bli cs , war h a d not at - 4 01 ' ) commenced. Mediation in both cases was offered the hope of preventing war. But now that war has ac; tually commenced, England will probably find a 113°r available sphere of actio n among t h e m ili tary usur pers ° e Mexico, than at Washington ; and as all nations 13111 experienced mo re or l ess o f th e ten d er merc i es of he r interventions, the world wou ld re j o i ce to see us rejecb , i ins her offers unless they came with a full recognitio n f our principl es o f non -i ntervention.

SAGE. To the Senate of the ME Un S ited States,—ln answer to tho , e resolution of the Senate of the 3d inst., I communicate n t i, with estimates prepared by the War and Navy Departnle v " o f of the probable expenses of conducting the existing t o with Mexico, during th e rema i nder of the present ab_ a " oft whole of the next fiscal ye ar . I communicate, also, a Me, of the Secretary of the Treasury, b ased upon these estilLaaj. containing recommendations of measures for raising tb e , ditional means required. It is pr o b a bl e t h at the actual woo. penses incurred during the peri o d s p ec ifi e d may falicr siderably below the estimates submitted, which are ' t i l e larger number of troops than have yet been called to gOf field. As a precautionary measure, however, agains t possible deficiency, the esti ma t es h ave been inaueraOr the largest amount which any state of the service require. ib ° It will be perceived from the repor t o f the Secretary e„,,0 Treasury, that a considerable porti on o f t h e additiona l ara ti v;of required may be raised by a modifi cat i on of the rates of nre imposed by the existing tariff laws. The high duties at r i o• sent levied on atany articles totally exclude them froa i ,;;cff portation, -whilst the quantity and amount of others It', es e are imported are greatly diminished. By reducing t ir go duties to a revenue standard, it is not doubted that a r d Ds amount of the articles on which they are imposed we e ic es imported, and a correspondin g amount o f revenue b e reset at the Treasury from this source . By imposing revenue e d ties on many articles now permitted to be imported r e Ll duty, and by regulating th e rat es w i t hi n the revenue stando itr upon others, a large additional revenue will be collected. dependently of the high considerations which induced in my annual message, to recommend a rn ( ft; atf;,aird auction of the rates of duty imposed by the ° A e c t "; c8::1)0, being not only proper in reference to a state of = just to all the great interests of the country, the bo such modification and reduction as a war meas ure must fio y v % manifest. The country requi re s a ddi t i ona l rev enue letr th er prosecution of the war. It may b e o bt a i ne d t o a great de tent by reducing the prohibit or y an d hi g hl y pr otectts ties imposed by the existing l aws t o revenue ra tes; e.. ' t o necessity posing revenue duties on the f ree li s t ; an d b y mo difying, rates of duty on other articles. f The modifications recommended by the Secretary Treasury in his annual report in December last, were adapted to a state of peace; and the additional d u ti es now sugg'„of by him, are with a view strictly to raise revenue as a O/ 0 measure. At the conclusion of the war these duties may should be abolished, and reduced to lower rates. „, r , A ice It is not apprehended th at the existing war with nes! will materially aff ec t our trade and commerce with the of the world. On the contrary, the reductions Pr e l" , veti would increase that trade, and augment the revenue dell' from it. Ana When the count r y i s i n a state of war, no contillgrL t i , should be permitt e d to occur in which there would be aruips ciency in the t reasury, f or the vigorous prosecution ei deJ war; and to gua r d aga i nst suc h an event, it is recomm„elloteh that contingent auth or ity b e g i ven to issue Treasury "-Dsa or to contract a l oan f ur a li m i te d amount, reimb urs able ae, early day. Should n o occas i on ar i se to exercise the P°,64 still it may be importa n t th at t h e authority shoul d e should there be a necessity for it. It is not deemed necessary to resort to direct taxes e' i p e ai cises—the measures recomm en d e d b e i ng deemed pref erah'-or a means of increasing the revenue. It is hoped that the te ch with Mexico, if vig - orously prosecuted, as is conterflP ,l l,. to may be of short duration. I shall b e at all times reaao' conclude an honourable peace, whenever th e M ex ican tifi g vernment shall manifest a like disposition.

JAMES K. POL S. Washington, June 16, 1846. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASV S . Treasury Department, June 15, )84° 8 . 0f Sir,—l have duly considered th e reso l ut i on of the Sag e - the 3d of June, 1846, together with the estimates of the s ert tars' of the Navy of the 9th inst., a n d o f t h e S ecretary of host of the 13th inst., submitted by you to this department , respectfully report to you as follows : It appears that the aggregate estimated expenditure of tl, War and Nary Departments for the fiscal years termin lo o4 on the 30th of June, 1846 and 1317, amo unt to 23,952,9 0 dolls, over and above the estimates made by those departre in December last, and then submitted in my annual reportft, Congress. In that r e p or t i t was supposed by this &floe ment, that upon the expen di tures then estimated for a su es of of peace, there would rema i n on the Is: of July, 1847, a 1,3'3 in the Treasury of 4,332 , 4 41 dolls. 7c. Deducting 00 balance from the excess of expenditures above estimate d de the War and Navy Departments, there would result A ficiency of 19,620,463 dolls. It is believed, however, that this deficiency will, fr° o l lll ll eigmented receipts, accrued and accruing for the io li s s, Years 1846 and 1847, be diminish e d f our m illi ons of "1847, which would reduce the deficit on the Ist of JelY' 15,620,463 dolls. c ertain' It is ascertained, by experien ce , th a t f or t he at prompt, and convenient payment of the public creel , so d all times and places, throughout our ext en d e d t err itory, " must remain on hand in the Treasury, which Would agel 'a of th 4 esu m p i p l l l y ion o s f t o li f e dollars, mint d especially mints, during fora state of " noinage, a sa .. , raise the sum to be provided for bef ore t h e BOth of Juil,,". 1847, to 19,620,463 dolls. It isbelieved, however, that a sum equal to 5,534,057 de ,1140.„ of additional revenue may be produced by the mo dificsstr he of the tariff herein proposed— name l y, to adopt, as a basi!;,-.9 Bill reducing the ta r iff reported by the Committee of V 1 um-,•101 and Means to the H ouse o f Representatives on the 14th s,tt7 April last, togeth er w ith t h e augmented and additional o now proposed and enumerated in schedule A. This change the Bill reported by the committee, omitting the fourth sea tion, would make an addition to the revenue to be produc by that Bill, of 4,034,057 dolls. After a very careful examination of the additional li et s l which it has been in my power to obtain since the mont111; Februa r y l as t , i t i s my conviction that the Bill of the e,OllO. tnittee will p ro d uce a ne t revenue of at least 26,0 00,0000. ea If to this b e a dd e d t h e a ddi t i ona l duties proposed to be in schedule A, the Bill of the committee with the mod Lions embraced in that sched u l e wou ld produce a net of venue of 30,034,057 dolls. This would snake an additioi!ed 5,534,057 dolls. to the revenue that would be prodl c o t under the Act of 30th August, 1842. If , t h en, we de" . , it this 5,534,057 dolls, from the d e fi c it a b ove estimate d, would still leave a deficit of 14,086,406 dolls. ser If, in addition to the modifications of the tariff above so s gested, the warehousing system were adopted, as rec oil ° h i mended in my annual report of December last, it make an addition to the annual revenue from customs 01 . cir, million of dollars, which, deducted f rom t h e above den o „ 9. , would leave a deficiency still re ma i n i ng o f 13,086,40 6 d It is true that the introduction of the warehousing ar fio t might diminish the revenue during a portion of the o o o year succeeding its ad o p tion ; b ut that it would add 0, million of dollars per a nnum t o th e permanent annt',al reverse from customs is nut doubted.
