A few months ago it was purchased by Mr. Philip Salo mons, High Sheriff of Sussex, who has since been preparing it for his family residence. Carpenters, paper-hangers, and painters had possession of the premises; and only on one Friday last a consignment of glass mirrors, the largest ever brought into Brighton, arrived from London per Pickford and Co., but were sent back in consequence of a mistake in the execution of the order. The workmen left as usual on Friday evening; and nothing amiss was ob served till four o'clock on Saturday morning, when a market gardener from Sompting, on his way to market, observed smoke issuing from the top of the house, and gave an alarm. The Brunswick-square water-hose and the Brighton fire engines were on the spot as quickly as possible; but no water was obtainable, as the water company's turncock had to be aroused from his sleep nearly two miles off. It was soon seen that the house of Mr. Salomons, No. 26, was doomed ; and the efforts of the firemen were then directed to the ad joining houses. One of them, No. 25, the property of Mr. Maxse, had just been thoroughly repaired, papered, and painted, and a portion of the furniture was expected to ar rive on Saturday. The fire broke through into an upper room of this house and destroyed it, and the water used in extinguishing the flames has considerably damaged the ceilings below, besides destroying the paper and paint. No. 27, the house on the other side, was inhabited by Mrs. Nichols and family, who escaped in their night clothes, and were kindly received by Lady Rosse, a neighbour. Of 25, nothing remains but the outer walls; 26 and 27 are consi derably injured. No. 26 is insured in the Alliance Fire office ; No. 25, in the Sun. The centre house is said to be damaged to the extent of 3,0001. DEATH FROM JUMPING OFF SHARSPEARE'S CLIFF. —A coroner's inquest was held before G. T. Thompson, Esq., at the military hospital at the castle, on Monday last, on the body of a private of the 30th depot, named Edward Dunn, who had met his death by jumping off the summit of Shakspere's Cliff on the previous evening. The body pre. sented a revolting spectacle, the skull and several of the lfmbs being much disfigured, doubtless occasioned by the unfortunate man coming in contact with the jagged portions of the cliff in the course of his descent. Henry Hampstin, a private 30th depots said—l knew deceased perfectly well. Yesterday, about a quarter to twelve, I saw him in the cook ing-room at the barracks, when in the course of our conver sation he said, " I am deranged in my mind, Hampstin; it is more than I can bear." I asked him what was the mat ter, but be did not tell me; he only said, " Some innocent blood will be shed to-night, and God help the poor soul who has to saffer for it." I was then called to go upon guard, when he wished me " good bye." This was an unusual thing. I did not speak to him afterwards. His manner se emed very wild when talking to me. I have written let ters for the deceased to his wife at Bristol, and read those written by her to himself. Neither of the last letters (re scaoniviteyd.,,a_ndpo7ierttcenhrloa,sut.clwe.eek) contained anything of an un plesant kind.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY MORNING.—The steam-ship Africa, Captain Harrison, which left New York on the 25th ult. arrived here at half-past 12 A.M., this day, bringing four days' later news, 45 passengers, and 635,000 dollars in specie. The Collins steam ship Atlantic arrived at New York on the 22d ult., in 11 days from this port. There was nothing of any importance going for ward in regard to the fisheries question. A document had been published in Washington, giving an official return of vessels which had been captured since 1817, one year befure the ratification of the treaty between Great Britain and the United States, in relation to the fisheries. By this we find that 25 vessels were seized between the years 1817 and 1821, '22 of which were restored, and but three condemned. Between 1821 and 1851, 35 vessels were seized, four of which only were restored, and 31 condemned. ''Mr. John Livingston, bearer of dispatches from Mr. Lawrence, United States Minister at London, to the Government at Washington, in a speech at a din ner given by Captain West, on board the Atlantic, on the 21st ult., said that he felt sure that if no collision had taken place before the delivery of his dispatches, there was scarcely the probability of any occurring upon this question. From Washington we learn that Mr. 'Webster was to leave 'Washington in a few days for Marshfield, with the intention of returning in a month or six weeks. It seems to be understood, says a Washing ton letter, that he has relinquished his purpose of retiring from the Department of State . .and will con tinue a member of the Administration until the close of Mr. Fillmore's term, unless some unforeseen exigency should occur. The fact that Mr. Webster obtains his own consent to be absent, gives some assurance of itself that those questions' of foreign relations which have engaged attention for some time past, and occasioned some anxiety in the public mind, have lost their seriousness, and are not likely to dis turb the tranquillity of the country in any way. Indeed, there is much better reason than this mere inference to believe that these affairs are in such a position as to preclude all apprehension whatever. The false alarms which are daily issued from this point in the shape of telegraphic bulletins, are but so many weak inven tions—small bubbles that burst almost as soon as they are filled. A panic is not as easily manufactured now days as newsmongers suppose, and it requires some thing more than flaming capitals to make people believe the nation can be hurried into war, because diplomatists require time to straighten their crooked paths. The Hon. J. R. Ingersoll, of Philadelphia, has been confirmed by the Senate as Minister to England, vice Lawrence resigned. Congress was mainly engrossed with the appropriation Bills and works of internal im provement. The President had transmitted to the Senate a message on the Lobos Islands guano ques tion. He argues the right of the United States to go there for guano, but nuclei action in the premises, be says, is suspended. The message was accompanied by a communication from the Peruvian Minister as to the claims of his Government. The President has given instructions to the American Minister at Lima that orders be given to the naval force there to pre vent any collision until a further examination into the state of the case. No countenance is to be given to the authors of enterprises undertaking to defend themselves. Another disgraceful personal dispute has occurred in the Lower House, out of which it was expected aduel would ensue. The following is re ported as the scene : "Mr. Polk—For fear of misapprehension, I tell the gentleman he is a liar. " A dozen gentlemen jumped to their feet, while others called to order, and there was the greatest con fusion, amid which Mr. Chandler said the scene was disgraceful, and moved, in a loud tone, that the commit tee rise, and there were cries of Agreed, agreed,' Order, order.' The chairman banged with his gavil, and by this time everybody was on tiptoe. (Cries of `Down in front,' Order.') Bang, bang went the hammer. " Mr. Polk refused to give way to Chandler, saying, '1 I have the floor.' - - - " Mr.,Bailey, of Va., said the motion of Mr. Chandler would not affect the object desired. " The Chairman said the motion cf the gentleman could not be entertained, Mr. Polk not yielding the floor for that purpose. " Mr. Chandler—The language used in this house is irritating—leading to quarrels and perhaps to bloodshed. I appeal to the house to sustain its dignity—such pro ceedings are disgraceful. " The excitement soon subsided. " Mr. Polk continued his speech in praise of Pierce, and in detraction of Scott—representing the latter in anything but a becoming light. " Mr. Cullom asked leave to make a personal expla nation. " Mr. Stuart objected, only on the ground that the general discussion had terminated by previous order of the House. To accommodate Mr. Cullom, the Cora rnittee rose, when that gentleman expressed his regret that h e should occupy one moment of the time of the House; at a pe riod, too, when they were about to shake hands and return to their homes. Ho had been respectful and kind to all Whigs and Democrats, and had given no occasion to his colleague for an attack. " Mr. Polk here explained, saying he alluded to what Cullom said at the City-Hall, when he charged Pierce with cowardice. " Mr. Cullom replied, that he blushed to-day at the conduct of his colleague. " The Speaker —The g entleman is out of order. " Mr. Cullom —M y remarks shall be kind. My col league has sought a kind of notoriety I do not envy. He has been ringing himself into every speech delivered here, and his hand is against every man. Ho assails on the right and on the left, and I am astonished at the forbearance of gentlemen. " Mr. Polk (in his seat) —I said you are a liar, and I say so again. " Mr. Cullom—l will not assail the gentleman outside of the record ; but whe n he tramples on my sacre d honour, I will let him k now that I hold hi m and his braggadocio bullying in utter contem p t ; and as to G hi o ni ve i r s no a r li J be o l n , e a s n , d l thewillmerely repeat the charg e aga i nst statement is a vile and infamous slander. I cannot suppose the democracy has put the gentleman forward to denounce General Scott a s a vain, foolish man, and void of al l p atriotism, and ho nour. lam not afraid this will ruin Scott's fame. Hi g h as my colleague's reputation is, he cannot damage General Scott. " Mr. Polk—l do not say Scott was a coward, but that there is evidence to show that Pierce was a coward; for if Pierce was a coward, Scott was a liar, and others who say so are liars. " Mr. Cullom said the gentleman has qualified his expression. I heard no man denounce Pierce as a coward at the meeting alluded to. I merely referred to a historical fact, namely, that Pierce's horse stumbled, and Pierce fainted. I advise my colleague to get some glue and stick himself to his seat, and maintain his dignity. I think it unfortunate that my colleague alluded to the Mexican war, and that his reference to Santa Anna was wrong, considering the gentleman's relations to the Administration under which it was con ducted." Mr. Bowne, of New York, has prepared a substi tute for the pending Steam-boat bill, which condenses the whole subject into a very comprehensible and easily understood form. Instead of underti,king to enter into the details of machinery, prescribing tests for iron plates, aad regulating other matters, which none but practical and scientific men really under stand, he purposes to fix penalties for explosions, fires, and the like, which will protect the public against these occurrences. It provides that, in every case where life is destroyed from these causes, the pro prietors and owners of steam-boats shall be liable to a fine of 1,000 dolls. for each life, and imprisonme n t , ranging from one to ten. years. The U. S. district attorney being required to prosecute, on the finding of the coroner's jury. The captains, pilots, and engi. neers, are also made liable to fine and imprisonment. One great difficulty in all laws imposing pains and penalties has consisted in the fact, that some loop hole of escape.was allowed—the general requisition relieving all individual responsibility. In the pre sent case, however, the accountability is positive a n d fixed. The law officer of the Government must pro secute, or he must answer for the neglect. The Webster men were working with unwonted vigour in Massachussetts. Two thousand nam es i n favour of a Webster ticket were said to be enrolled in Boston per day. . Senator Wade, of Ohio, has written a letter, i n which he denies that General Scott informed him that he would " sooner cut off his right hand than lend it to the support of slavery." Still more dreadful acci dents are recorded—a steamer burst her boiler near St. Louis on the 22d-30 persons were scalded, ni ne killed and six missing. A skiff was upset on the Hudson, at Albany, the same day, and two lives were lost. The announcement, that Captain Maray and his command of 80 men, had been murdered by Indians, is at last contradicted on the most undoubted au thority. OPENING OF THE CANADIAN PtMLIA., MENT. The Canadian Parliament was opened at Quebec on the 19'h inst., with the uQual ceremonies , Our Quebec correspondence furnishes the following particulars of this important affair :—The Governor•Creneral went down in state to the Legislative Council Chamber, • SEPTEMBER 6 1 1852. 7 where he summoned the nenabersi t of the lower house. The lion. Mr. Caron said it was fnot the pleasure of his Excellency to announce to theme the object of their being called together unti they hstil elected a Speaker. The gentlemen returned to theit own house, when Mr. Mocks propoled that Mr.„ J. S. Macdonald should be elected Speaker. Mr. Morin seconded the motion, which was carded on a d i v i s i on b y 55 a vote of to 23. Mr. Hincks spoke generally of Macdonald's fitness for the office. The debate was not remarkable. Mr. H. Smith was the only member who spoke against the Government motion. : The House then adjourned. The following day, his Excellency proceeded, at three o'clock, to the Legislative Council Chambers, and having taken his sett upon , the throne, com manded the attendance of the Legislative Assembly. The members of that body, preceded by their Speaker, the Hon. J. S. Macdonald, speedily appeared at the bar. The Hon. J. S. Macdonald informed his Ex cellency that the choice of the Assembly had fallen upon him to be their Speaker, and he craved for the members the customary privileges, after which his Excellency was pleased to deliver the following speech : _ _ "Hon. Gentlemen or the Legislative Council, and Gen- " se tlemen of the house of Assembly— I httva much pleasure in meeting you, in order that we may unite our endeavours for the promotion of the interests of the province. " Notwithstanding the deep interest occasioned by a Ai nie4 th t ro tr u an o tt u di t i g e has, I am happy province during to gen iti e f r o a r i m ele x c o t u io , election ; the piliJA iihich has e tt‘e close of the laiit session of Parliathent. " I am enabled, under these favourable circumstances, again to congratulate Parliament on the prosperity of the province. Provincial securities continue to rise steadily in value, and the returns of the census recently com pleted, furnish most satisfactory evidence of the advance ment of the colony in wealth and population. " estimated deficiency in the postal revenue has not been exceeded, although greatly extended communi cation has been afforded to the public by the establish ment of additional post offices and increased postal ser vices. There is reason to believe that before long the receipts of the department will balance the expenditure. " Another heavy calamity has, however, I am greatly concerned to state, befallen the province in the destruc tion by fire of a large portion of the important city of Montreal. lam confident that you will bestow your best consideration ou any measures that may be proposed to you for the purpose of mitigating its effects. "The importance of placing the currency of British North America on a uniform basis, and of introducing the decimal system, has been frequently recognised by Parliament. A measure will be submitted for your con sideration which will, I have reason to believe, promote the accomplishment of these objects. " I shall cause such accounts to be placed b e f ore yon as will put you fully in possession of the s te p s which I have take i n et d e u n r t i i n o g ns of th the e recees.l with the view o f g i ving effect to the Legislature, embodied in the acts passed lest session for promoting the construction of railways. I have endeavoured, in those proceedings, to act in so far as circumstances have permitted, in concert with the Lieutenant-Governors of the lower provinces. In connexion with these works, and with the subject of public improvements generally, the position of bonds issued on the credit of the muni cipalities of Upper Canada merits attention. The secu rity offered to holders of such bonds under the Munici pal Acts now in force in that part of the province, is of a very ample and satisfactory description. It is not improbable, however, that your wisdom may devise measures which, without materially altering their cha racter, may tend to enhance their value in the market. "The importance of establishing direct steam commu nication between Groat Britain and the ports of Quebec and Montreal has been repeatedly pressed on the Go vernment by persons interested in the commerce of the province. The subject, which has a material bearing on the prospects of emigration, and the reduction of freights in the St. Lawrence, has engaged my attention during the recess. A plan for the attainment of the object in view, which will, I trust, meet your approbation, will be submitted for your consideration. " I shall lay - before you a dispatch which I have re ceived from the principal Secretary of State for the Co lonies, communicating the views of the Imperial Govern ment in reference to the clergy reserves, and stating the grounds on which her Majesty's Ministers refrained from introducing a measure into the Imperial Parliament during its last session for the repeal of the Imperial sta tute on this subject. " Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly,— "The condition of the revenue is satisfactory, and indicates general prosperity among the consuming po pulation of the province. " I shall direct the accounts for the past, and the estimates for the current year to he laid betore you; and I rely on your readiness to grant such supplies as may be necessary for the maintenance of the province, and the efficiency of the public service. " Honourable Gentlemen and Gentlemen,-- " Various subjects of much importance to the interests of the province will, no doubt, engage your attention during the session which is now commencing.

In the first place, the undersigned will remark to Mr. Osma, that the Government of the United States has cot now, nor ever has had, any intention to facilitate the particular purpose of any persons such as Mr. Osma ca lls speculators, further than those purposes are con formable to public law, as well as to the laws of the United States. This Government knows of no com panies, no associations, and no individuals in whose be half it undertakes any special protection. The question is a general one, in which all the citizens of the United States engaged in commerce have an interest, and that interest Is equally respected by the United States, re gardless of individuals. In the next place, the undersigned expresses the hope that it was not Mr. Osma's purpose, by any expression iu his note of the 9th instant, to convey any intimation that the proceeding,s:of this Government, in regard to the subject, have been influenced in the slightest degree by any c onviction of the relative strength or weakness of the parties. Such an intimation, if intended to be made, would require no refutation, since all the world knows the mune; in, which the republics of South America, formed out of the ancient possessions of Spain, here been treated by this Government, from their earliest origin to the present day. The undersigned will make a further remark, to pre vent mistake and misunderstanding, upon Mr. Osma's observation upon the conversation between him and the undersigned, in the department of state, on the 2nd of July; and that is, that the supposed discovery of Cap tain Morrell, mentioned in that conversation, was not relied upon by the undersigned as founding an exclu sive right to the Lobos Islands on the part of the United States. It was only mentioned as a fact fit to he con sidered in common with other facts and occurrences. The truth appears to be that Captain Morrell was on a voyage of discovery, and did, in fact , discover , or was supposed to have discovered, guano on these islands. In is certain that no book generally known and circu lated in this country mentioned the fact of the existence of guano on these islands until Captain Morrell'e nar rative was published in 1832. After these preliminary remarks, the undersigned now proceeds to the consideration of the main subject. In his several c ommunications Mr. Osma asserts the right of Peru to all the Lobos islands, on the ground that she has always exercised authority over them; that they be long to Peru, as they formerly belonged to Spain; and that from time immemorial the Peruvian Indians have been in the habit of visiting them for the purpose of catching se als, killing birds, and gathering eggs, and that this exclusive right to the islands by Peru has never been doubted or disputed. The question are these unqualified declarations of Mr. Osmo, strictly accurate? The Lobos, or Seal Islands, as their name imports, lie in the open Pacific Ocean, the nearest of them twenty or thirty miles from the coast and Peru. They are, as Mr. Osma admits, mere barren rocks in the sea, uninhabited and uninha bitable. Fisheries and the pursuit of amphibious animals, especially the seal, have long been carried on around their shores, and even on those shores them telves; since it is well known that seals are usually taken and killed upon the land. In these pursuits, and in this use of the islands, citizens of the United States were engaged for half a century before any actual ! interruption took place by the Peruvian Government, or any body else; their visits to them having commenced at least as early as 1793. All this is welt known to the commercial world. Now, it is quite certain that if Peru held and possessed full sovereignty over these islands, this fishing near the shore, and this pursuit and killing of amphibious animals upon the land, was as much an invasion of that sovereignty as is the taking of guano from them now. Nor was the case so unimportant as that Peru might have regarded this use of the islands by citizens of the United States as an indulgence merely, supposing her to possess the exclusive right, since the pursuit and destruction of seals, which have at last ter minated in their almost entire disappearance, must have been a matter of much importance to her Government. Nevertheless, no complaint was made of this course of things, nor any interruption attempted or threatened until September, 1833, in which month, as it would now appear, a decree was issued by the Peruvian Govern ment, prohibiting foreigners from fishing for seals and amphibious animals on the shores and islands of Peru, and declaring that the captains of foreign vessels who evaded the order should be considered as smugglers. It is important to observe that this decree was issued after the publication of Captain Morrell's narrative. This decree was sudden and unexpected, and, there fore, the Charge d'Affaires of the United States at Lima was under the necessity of acting upon it without orders from his own Government. He immediately addressed a note on the subject to the Minister of Foreign Rela tions of Peru, in which, without formally denying the original right of Peru, ho requested a reconsideration of the decree, or that it might be so far modified as to per mit to the citizens of the United States the pursuit of an occupation which they had been allowed quietly to fol low for a number of years, and adding that the decree could not but be regarded as unfriendly to the Govern ment of the United States. So far as is known to the undersi g ned, no answer or reply was ever made to this remonstrance, and it is certainthat • the citizens of the United States continued to pursue their usual avocations without interruption, notwithstanding this decree. If such an interruption had been made by the Peruvian authorities, it would at once have brought the question of the sovereignty of Peru over the Lobos Islands to the attention of this Government, as happened a fete years before in the case of the right of the Government of the Argentine Confeder ation Falkland to claim sovereignty over the Islands. It is true that the decree of 1833 makes no particular mention of the Lobos Islands, but it is directed generally against fishing on thecannot be r coasts and islands of P eru . N evertheless this as affecting th e genera l r i g ht of citizens the United e States, ' founded on l ong a n d un di s p u t e d usaee Sere, then, is a formal remonstr ance on the part of the United St a t es aga i ns t th e asser t e d sovereignty of Peru over the Lobos Islands, which to no answer, so far as it appears, was given, nor an intimation made that notwithstanding this remonstrance the decree would be enforced. It is quite evident that, although the decree is general in its terms, it was intended to be levelled especially against citizens of the United States, as the r subjects of other countries did not partake to any consi• derable extent in the fisheries which were prohibited. Can Mr. Osma's averment, therefore, be maintained, in which he asserts the universal and absolute sovereignty of Peru never to have been denied or questioned by any Government. And if Peru has suffered these barren rocks to be visited and used by citizens of the United States for a long course of time, and for all the purposes for which they were known to be valuable, is the case aliered when they are found capable of a new use? Is not the natural inference either that Peru never claimed any exclusive right over the islands, or that, if such claim had been made by any formal or official act of the Government, such claim had been abandoned, at least so far as citizens of the United States were concerned. Mr. Osma refers to a decision of the English Govern ment, and observes that as both the mercantile and egri cultral classes in the British empire have a strong in terest adverse to the claim of Peru, if the British Go vernnient has decided in favour of that claim, that deci sion must be ascribed to considerations sufficient to outweigh a regard for the interests of British farmers and shipowners. But the two cases may justly be considered as essentially different. When the decree of 1833 ap peared, Mr. Wilson, the British Consul-General at Lima, in a communication to his Government, said:—" For many years no British vessel has been engaged in this fishery, but great abuses have been committed by Ame rican vessels ;" and the year afterwards, writing upon the subject of the British schponer Campeadora for kill ing seals at the Lobos Islands, he admitted the right of Peru to those islands. At the same time he adds:— " Lord James Townahend, the commander of his Ma jesty's naval forces in the Pacific, takes a different view of the question; and he himself told me that he coma_ dered that his Majesty's subjects had a positive right of fishery on all these islands, unless they should be ac tually occupied by some Peruvian authority, or protected by the constant presence of some Peruvian man-of-war to warn off vessels." It will be borne in mind that when the ease of the Campeadora occurred, the use and, perhaps, even the value of guano as a manure was unknown in England. Before that case was decided, however, the British Go vernment may be said to have been irrevocably committed to the acknowledgment of the right of Peru to the Lobos Islands by their acquiescence in the opinions expressed by Mr. Wilson, their diplomatic agent, and the answer to that communication from the Foreign-office, for in that answer, under date 30th August, 1834, Lord Pal merston said—" It would, therefore, appear that the Peruvian Government have a right to prohibit foreign vessels from fishing upo n th e coast i mme di a t e ly adjoin ing to those islands, as we ll as upon the coastsch Peru itself, you itself, there being no e v id ence i n the papers . w hich by long have transmitted of any r i g ht o f fi s hi n g " g un and uninterrupted usage," such ground It is clear, therefore, that the British Government yielded the point precisely because it had no su to stand on in behalf of its own subjectsss, and may well malt of the United States does P - ("se And it may be as the Govern stand on, in behalf of its own citizens. land down to regarded as a question still open in of t h a t year, Lord last year; for, on the 10th of_x tat s e Y for Foreign Affairs, Stanley, Under-Secretary of b— in answer to a letter from M vv entworth Butler, says e r p . iy whether the islands of state to you Tierra belong of right to Lobos Afuera and Lobos in d r e Pere, or are claimed Peru as dependencies. His Lordship does not find ! n b - the Peruvian constitution, published a fter Peru had separated itself Spain, from any mention of those is l a nds, as being dependencies of [PRICE SD. Peru; but it appears to Lord Palmerston that their proximity to Peru would give to that state a prima facie clam.► to them." Now, it is certain that the fact does rot, under the rule of public law, bear out this last observation of Lord Palmerston, because the distance from the shore of all these islands is five or six times greater than the three marine miles extend. It may be hero added that it is well understood that a powerful class of British subjects, distinct from those of merchants and farmers, has a vital interest in maintaining the regulations for the export of guano from Peru upon their present foot ing. It may not be entirely satisfactory, therefore, to take the case of the Campeadora, or that of the Hi bernia, which afterwards occurred, alone into consider ation, in endeavouring to account for the policy which the British Government has thought proper to adopt in regard to the subject. However this may be, it is quite clear that the English case and the American ease are are quite different for the reasons already stated. As has been shown, the representatives of the American Government in Peru remonstrated against the issuing of the decree of 1833. And it is a consideration of very great weight in this case that the main objsct of that decree, as it fully appears, was to drive off from the hoasts and islands of Peru, including of course those of Lobos, the fishing vessels of the United States. Now n-aim:l were the sole or principal object of the decree— am the agent of the United States formally renson• strated against that decree—how is the subsequent con duct of Peru and her entire silence to be reconciled with the idea that she re all y supposed herself possessed of absolute soverei gnty over those :islands ? She cer tainly made no attempt to enforce that decree against vessels or citizens of the United States, but suffered on as they had gone on through a long course of years: Tne undersigned has thus far spoken of the actual facts tin h si continued usage which enpposes to belong to the jlts t consideration of his case. Mr. 03ma, in his recent communication, refers to the that authority of Alcedo Co prove those islands are within the sovereignty of Peru, and have always been so considered. In the decision of a questi on p ure l y re lating to any part of the American h geographical, eruis es pecially to that formerly und e r the domiapllere, and ' dominion eonftiSpain, the undersigned acknowledges th a t Alcedo is almost implicit confidence; but in th e passage to Which geographi cally. rl Mr. Osma refers, he was speaking mere l y He was not discussing any question founded eitherlon discovery or usage; or an y other o g l h-t l p tical consideration; and if, as Mr. Osma, says, that great geographer, in speaking of the Lobos Islands, uesd words plainly, or by implication, assigning to Spain the sove reignty over those islands, this may be ascribed to his loyalty as a Spanish subject and an officer in the king's service—a sentiment which would not allow him to en tertain a doubt of the right of his sovereign to any re gions which he might claim, by whatever title. Alcedo therefore describes the Lobos Islands as belonging to the , coast and to a particular province of Peru. The fact that they are islands, however, leaves the question open as to the distance between them and the coast of Peru, and he seams to have taken it for granted that because they happened to be the nearest to the province of Sane, they were necessarily included ;,within,, the limits of that province; a proposition which cannot be ' supported. In this case, therefore, the authority of Alcedo cannot be regarded as decisive. In order that it should be so considered, the undersigned must be informed what acts of jurisdiction his Catholic Majesty exercised over those islands. The occasional visits of Indians from the neigh bouring continent, to which Mr. Osme refers, cannot be said to have imparted to the sovereign of Spain, or the government of Peru, even as good a title to those is lands as the habitual resort thither of the vessels of the United States, so long and uninterruptedly continued, for the purpose of capturing seals on their shores, and whales in the adjacent ocean, would give to the United States. The use of these islands by the Peruvian In dians for the last half century has no doubt been vastly less than by the citizens of the United States; and, upon the ground of Mr. Osma's argument, a better title could be asserted by possession on the part of the United States than could bo maintained by Peru. The undersigned freely admits that acts of the Peru vian Government, founded on supposed rights, when not objected to, are fit to be regarded as having more or less weight on the question of right, so far as that right de pends upon possession. If, therefore, it be asked why this Government did not also protest against the Peru vian decrees of the 21st of March and 10th of May, 1842, by the'lsth article of the former and the 3d of the latter, of which the penalty of confiscation is denounced against any national or foreign vessel which shall an chor at or approach the islands or places in which there may be guano, without the usual licence from the au thorities empowered to issue the same, it may be an swered that the very existence of those decrees was not known to this Government until they appeased in the British Parliamentary documents on the subject of the Lobos Islends, presented to the House of Commons on the 14th of May last. There is nothing which the un dersigned can find in the dispatches of the Charge d'Af faires of the United States at Lima to show that the de crees were communicated to or known to him. If these decrees had been known here at an earlier date, they would have received the attention of this Government. As to the claim of Peru to those islands, fouiaded on the law of proximity, the question will appear to be free of doubt., The,twell-settled rule of mo dern pu blic law on this point is, that the right of jurisdiction of any nation, whose territories may border on the sea, extends to the distance of a cannon shot, or three marine miles, from the shore, this beins , the s upposed limit to which a defence of the coast, f7om the land itself, can be ex tended. The whole discussion, therefore, must turn upon this, viz , the Lobos Islands lying in the, r, open oceant, to a e r . from any continental possessions of P o pe . as no t adjacent ll long to that country by the law of proxinnty or j position, has the Government of that co u ntry exercised d • sovereignty an owner such unequivocal acts of absolute to their exclusive ship over them as give to her rightedbt and their citi possession, as against the United ossession? And the zens, by the law of indisputable p undersigned repeats that this not a question between have more or less Peru and other Governments, who may distincly admitted her right, whot is a uestion btween ave s q o long exe e rcised Peru and the United States, h er . that right, and remonstrated a gainst its interruption. The Government of the United Stat es,however, to is prepared to give due consideration to all facts tending show possession or occupancy of the Lobos Islands by de discussion until and is not inclined to stop or Preclude investigated. until the whole matter shall be thoroughly If there are any facts of arguments which have not been brought to its consideration, they shall receive the most respectful and friendly attention. If it shall turn out that. as has been intimated above, those islands are un inhabited and uninhabitable, and therefore incapable of being legally possessed or held by any one nation, they and their contents must be considered as the common property of all. Or, if unprotected by the presence of Peruvian authorities, and without actual possession, their use has been by Peru abandoned or conceded, without limitation of time, to citizens of the United States for a long period, or yielded in consequence of the remon strance of this Government or its agents, then no exclu sive ownership can be pretended as against the United States at least. Under all the circumstances, the President thinks it most advisable that full instructions on this subject should be dispatched to the Charge d'Affaires of the United States at Lima, and that proper orders sho u ld b e given to the naval forces of the United States in that quarter to prevent collision until further examination of the case. No countenance will be given to the authors of such enterprises, claiming to be citizens of the United States, who may undertake to defend themselves or their vessels by force in the prosecution of any commercial enterprises to these islands. Such acts would be acts of private war, and their authors would thereby justly for feit the protection of their own Government. The undersigned avails himself of this occasion to offer to Mr. Osma a renewed assurance of his very high consideration. DANIEL WBBSTEI6 To Senor Don Juan Y de Osma, &c.

Captain The Royal Weller, Mailv mails, arrived this morning et eight o'clock. She left St. Thomas on the 17th ult , and conse quently has been about eighteen days on the 'outage. Her dates are :—Vera Cruz, August 4; Havannah, t h Company'sthe SOUTHAMPTON, West l e n a m di -as andip SUNDAY..SIe Mexican dw a y, 9; St, Martha, 9; Grey Tovvn, 1; Carthagena, 10 ; Chagres, 9 ; Yucamel, 12 ; Georgetown, 9 ; Tobago, 8 ; Port of Spain, 9 ; Barbadoes, 11 ; Grenada, 10 ; St. Vincent, 11; Marti n i que, 12 ; Antigua, 12 ; Ja maks, 11 ; St. Kitt's, 13; St. Thomas, 17. The freight of the Medway comprised 1,163,736 dollars, of which, it was believed, 74 000 were on account of the Mexican dividends, 218 bales of to bacco, 611 Barons of cochineal, 62 cases of cigars, 10 half barrels of arrow -root, 174 bales of sarsaparilla, 10 barrels of copper ore, 45 bales of indigo, 89 barrels of pork, and a number of packages of general mer chandise. She brought 126 passengers. DOMINICA. A public dinner was given to Major Blacksll, the Lieutenant-Governor of the colony, on the 30th July, it being the anniversary of his arrival in Dominica. From the names of the gentlemen who took an active part in getting up this manifestation of regard for his Excellency, there can be no mistake as to the estima tion in which his administration is held by the intel ligent and respectable porticn of the community. H e has given great satisfaction by the trouble he hes taken to make himself acquainted with the wants ef the colony, and the care he has manifested 'to improve the internal condition of affairs. Such a demonstra tion of respect for a Governor had not been known, according to the statement of the Hon. Thomas Bell, senior member of council, during his residence in the island, a period of 39 years. The new House of Assembly is going on in the same reckless manner as the former House. They declare that they have but one article of prcduce-- one means of ma ki ng money, an d t h a t it cos t s more to produce it th an i t w i ll b ring i n t h e mar k e t y e t they go on impo s i ng taxes with as much industry as if they were in th e most flourish i ng c i rcumstances , and as if taxation w as a matter o f mere moons hi ne . A Bill has passed through several of its stages to give a salary to the Speaker, who has only been in office two or three weeks. It passed some of its stages in a house of nine members, of which the Speaker and three of his brothers made four out of seven who voted fur the measure. It was strongly opposed by the Attorney-General and one other member, but with out success ; the Speaker and his three brothers were too much interested in the Bill to be influenced by argument.

We are indeed living in fearful times, when acts like these are per petrated on those in authority, or whose duty it is to prevent the laws from being infringed. The cows of Sir Joshua Rowe, the mule of Mr. Nethersole, an d the sheep of Mr. Lewis, are painful forebodings of what may be the state of morals in Jamaica. JAMAICA MARKETS. The business done in import, since our issue of the 26th ult. has been of the usual restricted character; even the advent of another anniversary of freedom has failed to impart the increased, though temporary, activity usual at this season. Supplies of dry and pickled f4h are ample, with a very limited demand, in consequence of the continuance of disease in the city and neighbouring parishes. Flour has been in good inquiry; but meal, owing principally to the rather free receipts, has de • clined in value. Sugar and rum are in demand at higher rates, and prices are likely to be firmly maintained. We regret to add in addition to the fact noticed in a previous number with reference to the loss of the pi mento crop of St. Ann's, that a corresponding decrease is anticipated in that of St. Elizabeth's. The provinces, generally, are being visited with fertilizing showers, and in some districts the native vegetables are being rapidly matured in consequence. In Manchester and Westmore land, especially, the yield of yams, &c., promises to be very plentiful. Alewives are unsaleable, with a very ample stock. Butter—The market has been very quiet. Some small sales of Cork seconds are reported at 11d. American may be quoted at 9d. to Sid. There is not any Halifax at market. Beef—The last sale was that of a parcel of 80 half barrels. Halstead's at 545. Smith's was sold at the same rate, but 535. was accepted for a lot of 40 half barrels partly dry. Brandy—Only retail operations are effected. We may quote Martell's dark at ss. 9d., and pale at Cs. per gallon, short price. Bread—No wholesale operations either in imported or domestic have transpired. Cornmeal—The stock has been rather largely in creased, and prices have fallen fully is. per barrel since our last. The most recent transactions were at 225. Coffee is not obtainable. Corn—The inquiry for American has slackened under the rather free receipt of native grown. We quote the former at Bs. to Ss. 3d. per bag. Codfish—A large cargo of old catch from Arichat haa been parcelled out at 12s. 6d. per 100 lb. for ord., in casks; 149. to 14s. 9d. for large fish, also in casks; and 16s. per box. Boxes of new fish are being placed at 17s. The supply is ample, and principally in importers' hands. Candles—There have not been any receipts since our last, and importers' hands are bare. Cheese is very much wanted. There is not any at market. Flour—Holders were firm, and, as the inquiry was good, they succeeded in obtaining 325. 63. t o 33i. for Baltimore, at which rates several largebands. parcels changed Gold—Doubloons ore in small demand. American gold is worth i- to 1 per cent. premium. Lettings,—'fhe market is dull, w ish heavy supp lies. Nothing over 16 s . p er b arrel can be got, ma for very moderate parcels, Hams —All descriptions are inactive. at sd. to '4l, American at 7id., and Lanca shire at 9d. per lb. L Igwood—There have boen sales at 3 68 . to 38s. We quote Irish per ton. Lard is very inactive—w(?. nominally, at bid . to 7d. per lb pine o f good quality is very Lumber, &c.—White — 5 sm ell cargoes would meet three 5 f13111' cargoes would meet with ready sale. hi ng les, both .quote American, almost with ready sale.

Bottled is still more hhds. h ave sa lei n wholesale quantities, and only retail gonad holders are anxious to sell. Of Lane's, 100 difficult of operations are occurring.Oil—The last s al es of cod were at 2s. 4id. per gallon, but is now held for 2s. 6d. There is very little at market. Pork—A lot of 90 barrels New Orleans mess hEs been placed at 112 s. per barrel. Pimento—There is not any offering. Rice—The stock is declining, but large lots are looked for at a very early period. At present we quote Bengal at 208. and Patna at 21s. 6d. per 1001bs. awe is a small parcel of Carolina at market, but no operations therein have reached us. Rum—We report the continuance of an improved feeling for this article. Several parcels changed hands since our last, at Is. 3d, in bond, wholesale, with smaller operations at ls. 41d. and Is. 6d. Holders are now film at the last-named rate. Salmon—There is not any at market. ' Soap—There is nothing doing, except by retail. The market is overstocked, especially with Steele's 481 b. Feather, large quantities of which were imported for . the Chagres trade, b u t w hi ch, for the reason stated for 1n our remarks o n ma l t, have been found unsa laabie that purpose. d ur ing last week .
