Eve rnivates 41ler 9 threatenin7 and infuriated mobs, or their 'persons 1 attacked and their lives endangered. A threatening iotiee was thrust under the door of the Earl of Ilou3sTeAsuELL, and Liter in the day a numerous ,ody of rioters attempted to bre7.k in the demesne ~ ..tte at Moor Park, his Lordship's residence, and were only deterred from the attempt by the timely approach of a body of police who appeared inside the ;rounds. At Castlemartyr, the seat of the Earl of - lIANNON, the mob obtaiaed admission into the ,temesne, and threathened to pull down the castle ever his Lordship's bead and to return the following lay in increased force for that purpose, but these )ccurrences are far surpassed in atrocity by the Ferocious attack made on Lord STUART DE DECIES, he Lord-Lieutenant of the county of Waterford, on ,is return from the Extraordinary Presentment Sei ions for the barony of Decies-within-Drum, held at ,filas'mnore (within three miles of Youghal), over vhieh his Lordship had presided. Nearly every vote :shed for had been granted, and sums, amounting to •everal thousand pounds, had been voted at the meet ing, in order at once to afford the required relief; tut the people had unfortunately witnessed the fruits ,f turbulence at Youghal, that the riots there had ob -ained instant work for 500 labourers, and they forth -vith proceeded to still greater extremities. lame !lately on his Lordship leaving the Sessions-house he was greeted with menaces and threats, and the most pprobrious epithets were applied to him. With diffi culty he reached his carriage, and only effected 'tis escape, through the aid afforded by a party of aussars, on whom they made a violent attack, assail ing them with sticks, stones, and all other available missiles. Many of the soldiers, who behaved most Ida - drably, were severely hurt, and they had finally to take refuge in the Earl of HUNTINGDON'S farm yard. Mr. T. J. FITZGERALD, J.P., a Roman Catholic gentleman of considerable property and in fluence, was also assaulted, and it is said had a narrow escape of his life. We have ever been the advocates of the Irish peasantry; we have pointed out their grievances, have sympathised with their distresses, have justified them when unduly assailed, and have denounced the evils and the injustice that have led to many of their errors ; we have anxiously sought out the means by which their condition may be ameliorated, and the capa bilities of their country fully developed, and have urged the adoption of such measures on the Government and Legislature; but it is impos ,iMe to palliate or defend conduct such as we have just described. If such returns are made for the exertions used on their behalf, if the noblemen and gentlemen who reside on and improve their estates, who afford employment and give their re spective neighbourhoods the benefits resulting from large establishments and ample expenditure, are to be thus insulted and outraged with impunity, what can the misguided people hope for or expect, but that they will be deprived of advantages which they do not duly appreciate ? For their own sakes it is neces sary that the most vigorous measures should be adopted for the repression of such outrages, and the bringing the ringleaders to condign punishment. The safety of the country is at this moment trem bling in the balance—on the gentry depends the issue. If they desire that the peace and tranquillity of their country should be preserved, we should, per haps, say restored, they must afford relief with no stinted or niggard hand ; every well authenticated case of destitution, must be promptly dealt with, the wants of the several districts must be anti cipated with discretion and foresight, but the majesty of the law must also be vindicated, and riot and outrage must be visited with its due reward. It is cheering to turn from the contemplation of this dark picture to the steps that have been, and are likely to be, taken for the public relief. The Lord Chancellor of Ireland has justified the high expectations that were entertained on his Lordship's accession to the seals. He has just issued the most useful and salutary instructions to the guardians, committees, and receivers of the estates of minors and lunatics, calling their attention to the provisions of the Drainage Act of last session, with a view to their having inquiries made as to the conditions of the respective estates in reference to the objects of the Act, and whether it can be beneficially applied to their imppovement. And he states, that when it is ascertained that the Act can be so applied, it will be their duty to lay a statement of facts before the Master, who is to decide whether applications for an advance should he made, and to give instructions ac cordingly. His Lordship also directs that if they shall find that any other works of improvement may be beneficially undertaken, they are to make similar statements, that the Master may judge whether he will direct any proceedings to be had for obtaining an order of the Court on the subject. This conduct is worthy of the exalted position and amiable and benevolent character of his Lord ship, and affords a brilliant example to the several landowners throughout the country. It points out the duties incidental to their property. It is also said, that Parliament will assemble early in No vember, and that the Lord-Lieutenant has, in the strongest terms, urged the necessity of such a step on the Government, and that his Excellency has pressed for authority to carry into immediate opera tion the plans for relief by reproductive works, lead ing to the permanent improvement of the soil by drainage or otherwise, and to trust to a Parliamen tary indemnity in case it should be thought con trary to the letter of the Relief Act. There is no doubt that such an indemnity would be unhesi tatingly and unanimously accorded. We sincerely hope that our information may be well founded, and that, ere many days have elapsed, we may see the labouring population of Ireland employed on useful works, which luny be productive of lasting benefit to the coil atry. Madrid papers of the 23d - September have arrived. The Eco del Comercio, the Clamor Publico, the Espectador, and the Nuevo Espectador were all seized on the 22d. The editors of these journals published a joint protest on the 23d. "Despite," say they, "of the fines and other miseries daily inflicted on us by the Ministry, and of their dread of the press's disclo sures, which such desperate rigours sufficiently prove, e shall continue to write, not as circumstances re quire, but as the caprice of our governors may permit —not as in countries where the constitutional system prevails, but as we may in Spain under an arbitrary domination Let, therefore, the saga- city of our readers supply what we are obliged to dissemble. The silence of the press will hereafter be the most elcque:lt imputation that will be levelled at the present Government." The Espanol of the 23d was seized for re-publish ing an article from the Times. The Heraldo publishes the following on the subject of Mr. BULWER'S protest : " Fresh rumours have spread this day as to the active steps the English Ambassador is adopting, in order to create obstacles to the union between the Infanta and the Duke de Montpensier. We wish not to affirm that the information we have on the subject is quite official, but ill not take pla ce . We the marriage of we are still persuaded that it is far more positive than the information of certain other prints, which behold the ot sister protests of and oourczo threats Queen whereby n w believe that her Britannic Majesty's Envoy has written no other note on the affair in question ; and the Imparcial of last night confirms our belief of ft. According to our information, all that exists on the subject is but a communication of the English Minis, ter fur Foreign Affairs to our Minister for the same department, in which the serious complications that m ay hereafter arise from the crowns of France and Spain being united on the same head, are dwelt upon. As our readers see, the weak argument adduced by our oppo nents—an argument founded on such remote proba bilities that it is beyond human calculation—clearly proves that the remonstrances of the English Cabinet are of mdre form s and that it does nut even attempt to oppose any serious resistance to the projected marriage, because it finds no plausible pretence for acting in such way. The conduct of the English Cabinet on this occasion may be aptly compared with that which it held when the French conquered Algeria. It protested against, without in any way touching on a fait accompli. Never theless, we must again say that on the present occasion no protest has taken place. Moreover, if we be well in formed, the English Cabinet complains that a foreign influence has prevailed in this question. It appears that some communications on the subject have been ex changed between the English and French Governments; hut it is not the less true that the principal fact exists, and that nobody thinks of opposing the Infanta's marriage, for to deprive foreign diplomacy of all pre tences, the Duke de Montpensier's renunciation of all eventual rights to the throne of France would suffice." If this renunciation would suffice, why, it may naturally be asked, is not this renunciation made, and foreign diplomacy thus deprived of all pretences for interference ? We believe there can be very little doubt of the fact, that on the 22k Mr. BuLwza presented to Senhor ISTURITZ a formal protest againet the marriage. M. SAnAmANcx, who was ab.“ - .nt from the Chamber of Dquties wir, , n the vote was taken on the subject of granting to thf Mini.3ter.i the authori:lition to levy taxes, a:.licd tin: his name might be added to that of the opponents c; the Bill. The revised tariff will be presented to tbf Cortes early in the ensuing session. MADRID BOLSA, SEPT. 23.—The Three per Cents. were dune at 358 for cash; the Four per Cents. at 22; the Five per Cents. at 22 5-16; the Debt without interest. at 6 . 1 ; and the Couptens, at 20i, We have received the Paris papers of Monday. The Duke DE AIONTPENSIER and the Duke D'AUMALE left Paris for Madrid on Monday morning, by railroad for Tours, from whence they would pro ceed without delay to Bordeaux, which they would reach on Tuesday morning, and proceed to Bayonne the same day. On the Ist October they are to leave Bayonne, enter Spain at Irun, and proceed, by way of Tolosa, Vittoria, Burgos, and Segovia, to Madrid, where they will arrive on the sth. The Journal des Debats of Monday still main tains that no protest had been presented to M. GUIZOT by Lord NORMANDY Against the Pdontpensier marriage. " The British Minister of Foreign Affairs," it says, " has sent to the British AmbassAdor at Paris a dispatch, with instructions for its being read and a copy left with the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, and that dispatch manifested the dissent of the English Government in the most amicable terms. " We think it right to repeat, that in spite of all the rumours to the contrary, the two marriages will be celebrated at the period which has been desig nated, and we persist in thinking and saying that the differences to which this resolution may have given rise, however much they may be to be re gretted, are not of a nature to compromise the pacific relations between the three Governments." The same paper states up to the 22d no protest had been presented at Madrid. This is so far correct, because it was on the 22d thatMr.BULNVER sent a protest, in the name of his Government, against the Montpensier marriage. "Finding that neither the counsels, the interests, the wishes, nor the friendly feelings of England were in the slightest degree regarded or taken into consideration, Mr. BULWER was compelled to present, as a last measure, a formal protest." At a Cabinet Council held on Sunday, the reply to the memorandum of Lord PaLmErtsTos was agreed upon. M. GUIZOT was charged with drawing it up in conciliatory and measured terms, and with transmit ting it to the Count DE JARNAC, to be by.him delivered to Lord PALMERSTON. The French Carlists declare that the Count DE MONTEMOLIN is in Navarre, having entered Spain disguised as a priest by the bridge of Behobia. The strictest surveillance is maintained over all the Spanish refugees, Carlist as well as Progressista. General PRIM has been honoured by a domi ciliary visit. General RoDu. and Senhor DE SANTA Cuz, the latter a former aide-de-camp of ESPARTERO, are watched constantly at Bor deaux, from which place, however, notwithstand ing the vigilance of the police General SEOANE has succeeded in effecting his escape,' and has entered Spain. The price of wheat was rising in all the towns of Prance, and all that was brought into the market was immediately bought up.

The earthly career of Thomas CLARKSON closer . ; on Saturday last. 'We ought not to repine at the loss, and yet it is difficult to avoid yielding to the natural sentiments of sorrow that seem spontaneously tt fellow the historical and social reflections to whicl the intelligence of his death inevitably gives rise Philosophy would teach us that gratitude, and not regret, should reign predominant in our minds, it that PROVIDENCE permitted the late apostle of hu• Inanity to attain unto the lengthened age of eighty-six, and that he was suffered to dwell among us for nearly forty years after he haf spread a halo around his name which ma.. well be envied by the greatest potentates of the world. We should be grateful to think, that ir THOMAS CLARKSON we had an instance of the inten sity with which the noblest aspirations may animate and absorb our frail nature, such, that no difficulties, however apparently insuperable, cannot be overcome, where dauntless courage, indomitable zeal, and purit3 of soul are found in felicitous combination ; and yet, bowing to the rectitude of these philosophical dictates we are unable to repress an instinctive grief, that one of philanthrophy's brightest ornaments is reckoned among the dead. Regard being had to the con tracted span of human existence, CLARKSON may be likened to a brilliant star that has shot across the firmament, and attracted admiration from every quarter of the globe ; and, though the meteor itself is now lost to our view, a vast train of light still mellows the sphere of its glorious path. We could well have wished that the ruthless hand of time had spared the venerable subject of our lament till he should have witnessed, by surviving a few more years, that the effects of establishing free trade in sugar, which has just been sanctioned by Parliament, were at variance with the honourable and benevolent fears which CLARKSON entertained and emphatically embodied in the lengthened petition he recently laid before the Legislature. It was perhaps but too natural, that at his advanced period of life, he should have been tenaciously apprehensive, from the specious arguments put forward, that his glorious handiwork of human emancipation might be defaced, by opening our ports to sugar the produce of slave as well as of free labour, and we should therefore have rejoiced had he not sunk into the grave till he had gained a conviction of the fallacy of his con clusions. In a short time we shall perceive that the notion of a prejudicial impulse having been imparted to slave labour by the late Sugar Duties Act, is utterly groundless. It seems to be almost an itnpugnment of the good ness of the CREATOR to allege that competition be tween free and slave labour will end in the annihila tion of the former—to hold, that the lashed and manacled victim of the avaricious and unfeeling tyrant of the soil, will, in the end, surpass, in pro ductive powers, the unshackled and well-conditioned labourer of the sons of regeneration. With the spread of civilisation will the concomitant arts be invariably found in her train ; and, through the introduction into other climes of the vast im provements in machinery, by which manual labour is so successfully, and, in so large a measure, super seded in this country, it will be seen, that freedom, whenever established, will bear away the palm from slavery. But, though it has been decreed that CLARKSON should not live to become sensible of the truth of this proposition, yet by few men, if ever by any one, could there have been enjoyed a more sub lime retrospect than that which his own life must have afforded to himself. After passing through college with much distinction, he penned a Latin essay upon a ques tion propounded by the Vice-Chancellor of the Uni versity, of whether men should make slaves of others against their will ? The success of this essay is noto rious. It was owing to this singular circumstance that his mind became aw.lened to the frightful horrors perpetrated in the middle passage, and that he resolved to devote his entire life towards arousing England to use her majestic influence with other countries to put down the atrocious slave trade. This resolution was taken about the year 1785. By the enthusiasm with which he followed up: the noble mission he had undertaken, and the unclouded intellect of which he was the fortunate possessor, he gained over at different times, as fellow-labourers in the same vineyard, such 'men as WILBERFORCE, PITT, and other illustrious statesmen. He spared no exertion, and he encoun tered every danger to forward the great scheme of his ambition. lle braved the dangers of the French revolution—he pleaded for millions of miserable beings before the Autocrat of the Russris, and not in vain. Anti slavery associations every where started up at his bidding. lle inoculated the minds of nations, and our own in particular, with the genius of his philAn throphy. Ills single mind originated the pulsation that heat at length from one end of the country to the other, till, in 1807, and by a favourable conjuncture of public affairs, his great ob ject was accomplished, and the Imperial Legislature enacted that the slave trade should no longer be tolerated. In 1833 another measure—the natural fruit of the first—was carried, and the enormous sum of 20,000,0001. was paid, by which slavery was abolished for ever in our West Indian possessions. To review such mighty deeds, such unequalled civil triumphs ; and to feel that, under the blessing of PROVIDENCE, he had been constituted the chief in strument for bringing them to a happy issue, must indeed have been a retrospect delightful beyond all description. No higher eminence could be reached by man, no goodlier prospect enjoyed by mortal vision. All peace to his ashes I We on Monday directed the public attention to the recent food riots at Youghal and Kilkenny. The first we considered in a great degree owing to the negligence and apathy of the local authorities in not taking earlier steps for the relief of the destitution that unhappily prevailed in the vicinity, in not having paid sufficient attention to the represen tations put forward at the peaceab!e meeting that had been held. Nearly awe before the disturbance we pointed out the formidable results that might be occasioned by any exhibition of fear and timidity. In suffering the people to suppose that clamour and violence would be successful in obtaining that which would not be accorded from motives of charity and philanthrophy, every consideration that could influence the human mind urged that there should no longer be any delay or postponement of the necessary employment, that im - mediate steps should be taken in every district throughout the kingdom in setting to work the starr ing multitude, and in ascertaining that there was a sufficiency of food at reasonable prices, easily ac cessible. Already the ill effects of this procrastination, and of the superior efficacy of violent demonstrations in procuring for the people the wished-for relief, is pain• - fully apparent. Our Irish intelligence communicates accounts of outrages and disturbances of a most seri ous character. Cloyne, Fermoy, Castlemartyr, Kilworth, have all been the scenes of similar exhibi tions; the flour and provision shops have been rifled, the bakers have, generally speaking, made a merit of necessity, and quietly surrendered the bread in their possession, in order to avoid the damage and loss that would probably take place in its forcible seizure. The pastors and religious instructors of the people, n len whose influence is unbounded, and whose exhortations are generally listened to with respect and implicit obedience, have in vain interposed, their advice has been disregarded, and in some instances they have been personally insulted. Resident magistrates and landlords, whose unwearied exertions and active be nevolence should have made them in the hi?hest de gree popular, have had their residences visited by AMERICAN NEWS. (EXPRESS FRO NI LIVERPOOL.) LATER FROM THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, Six O'CLOCK, A.M. Shortly after four o'clock this morning the boom ing noise of cannon announced the approach of the royal mail steam-ship Britannia, Captain Hewitt ; she sailed from Boston on the Ist, and Halifax on the 3], and has therefore made a fair average pas sage, bringing 50 passengers, and the semi-monthly mails from Canada and the United States. The steam-ship Cambria, which sailed front Liverpool on the 4th instant, had not reached Boston when the Britannia sailed. The news by this arrival is ten days later than that previously received. The Courier and Enquirer of the 15th instant says : In political matters there is little variation sin ce our last paper. The rumour which has reached us by the way of Jamaica of the capture of Monterey, in Cali fornia, by the American squadron, and which was hardly credited, has since been confirmed. The proclamation of Commodore Sloat, commanding the American naval forces in the Pacific, dated 6th of July, has been re ceived. On that day he entered the harbour of Mon terey, and in his proclamation cal:ed on the Califor nians to remain tranquil, assuring them that he came as a friend to the people, and that California was destined to form part and parcel of the great Federal Union. Several weeks ago, the Lexington store ship wiled from this port for California with stores, ammunition, and cannon, and having on board a company of United States Artillery—in order to aid in the permanent esta blishment of the authority and jurisdiction of the United States in that region. A regiment, 800 strong, will embark here to-morrow with the same destination, in three large transports, now lying off Governor's Island, in this harbour, where the California regiment is encamped. This corps is abundantly supplied with all the materiel for constructing and arming fortifications, and is alto gether a very efficient force, so that it is obvious that the permanent possession of Upper California has been one of the objects aimed at from the commencement of hos tilities, and which is not, under any circumstances, likely to be relinquished. The operations on the coast of the gulf of Mexico have been inactive. The return of Santa Anna to Mexico may or may not promote a pacific arrangement with the United States. Overtures to such an end have been transmitted to him from the President of the United States through Commodore Connor ' command ing the gulf squadron. Santa Anna reached Vera Cruz on the 16th of August, and was received with open arms. We have no account yet of his having reached the city of Mexico, but everything there was ready for Isis cordial reception. The l.ttest dates from Vera Crt:z are of the 29 h ult. At that time the dispatches of the President for Commodore Connor had been received, and communication was immediately had with Vera Cruz by means of a flag. What the nature of the pro positions of this Governo3eet is, or what the reception they are likely to meet with from Santa Anna, is, as yet, mere conjecture. The United States brig of war Truxton was lost on a shoal off Tuppan, about 120 miles north Vera Cruz, on 14th ul*. Her commander, Captain Carpender, with the majority of his officers and crew, surrendered themselves prisoners to the Mexicans. Lieutenant Hunter, one other licutenant, and 14 men, escaped to the squadron in a small Mexican schoonei, which they captured with one of the boats of the Truxton. Meantime the war on the Rio Grande languishes— the season and the want of sufficient waggon trains alike forbidding active operations. The next accounts, how ever, from Camargo will probably communicate news of the first forward movements of the invading columns that are to penetrate the interior. General Kearney was at the last dates, 3d ultimo, ad vancing rapidly from Bent's Fort upon Santa F.'. Ilis force of 1,500 men was almost too large for his supplies and for the rapidity of his movements—and more than enough to overcome any resistance he was likely to meet with on the march or on reaching Santa Fe. He was husbanding his resources, and had put his men on half rations. One of the marking events of the last fortnight is the return of Mr. .Ik.l.Lane, late Minister to London, and the reply which he made to a congratulatory ad dress of the Chamber of Commerce of this city. The address and reply will be found in this paper, and therefore we abstain from comment other than to say, that the kind things uttered in the British Parliament about Mr. M`Lane and his good agency in bringing the Oregon negotiation to a fortunate and satisfactory ter mination have not, as both the address of the President of the New York Chamber of Commerce and the reply of Mr. M‘Lane will testify—fallen upon barren ground. Mr. M'Lane is to be entertained by the merchants and citizens of New York, at a public dinner, as soon RS the G, SEPTEMBE 1tr,09 oelting state of tl.e atmesph(Te shall give place to ~ttt tl tonal freshness. The state of our money market if not easy, tt least tranquil. There is a large amount of capital waiting 1 c!lance of crmtinucd war or speedy peace. At pre -e::t S;afts Six per Cant. Stocks can bc sold at rom 104 to 105 ptr cunt., yet eont7nets fur th,: delivery •f this stark at a future period, or from six to twelv( , nonths, at 102, at the option of the seller are making Ibis indicates the general persuasion, that if the war continued, the Government would come into the market for a considerable loan, which would of course hive a tendency to depress the present price of United States Stocks. On the other band, should the prospect ,)t - speedy peace be increased, stocks would rise. Bat in illy event it seems the general opinion that the Govern :nent will need more money than it yet has raised. ['here can be no new loan, however, without authority of Congress, unless indeed—which does not seem pro -s:able—the Secretary of the Treasury, instead of issuirg n Treasury notes, the whole amount authorised to b: , 'lorrowed by the Act of July last, shall resort to a loan •or a part thereof. The convenience of the 'Treasury notes, however, is so great and within a reasonable itnumt, their currency at par is so certain, that it is nut probable any loan will be att. mpted. A considerable amount of these notes have made chi it ,ppearance here, within a few days from New Orleans, A here, owing to some demur on-the part of the collector :o receive them in payment for duties to the United States—as upon the face of the notes themselves they are made receivable—they fail to a discount of from 2 to 4 per cent. ; they were eagerly bought at that for a remittance to the north ; and as they are received here, is indeed they are now at New Orleans, by the Custom house, they are at par. The Cotton crop of this year, it is quite safe to say, is of less promise than that of the last, which fell short ,if that of the preceding year about 352,000 bales. ft is, however, too early in the season to speak posi tively, or even approximatively, of the yield of the growing crop ; hut there are some facts that are cer tain—first, that the season is unusually backward, so that, according to the New Or:euns Price Current of the sth instant, only 140 bales of the growth of the pre sent year had been received there at that date, against 6,846 btles last year, and 5,720 of the year previous, IA the same period ; secondly, the caterpillar and army worm had made their appearance in extensive districts ; and although the ravages of the for mer had in part been checked by heavy rains, which beat them to the ground and washed them off in the floods, considerable mischief was done. Yet, with all these drawbacks, if the picking season shall be favour able and killing frosts late, an average crop may be ga thered. As to prices, there can hardly be said to be any regular market at the present time.. The accounts by the Britannia were depressing, and their influence is still felt. We have already spoken of the abundance of the present harvests. The estimates, made with some care by the Bureau at Washington charged with collecting such statistics, present these results for the crops of 1845—which those of the present year will, it is on all hands admitted, exceed:— Wheat, 1061 mil. bushels ; Oats, 1631 mil.; Rye, 27 mil.; Barley, 5 1-6 mil.; Buck Wheat, 10/ mil.; Indian Corn, 4171 mil. The estimated population at present of these United States is about 20,000,000, and they cannot consume by many tens of millions the bread stuffs they produce. There is a large surplus, and it will be annually larger, for other lands ; and now that the permanent policy of Great Britain is declared to be the free importation of corn, there will be an increased quantity raised for the chance of that market, on our inexhaustible soil, and at diminished prices. Exchanges on Europe are well sustained. The prices on London are from 91 to 9 ; on Paris, 5,271 lo 30f. ; Amsterdam, 391 to 39} ; Ilanaburgh, C. 51 to 3G- ; 13re men, 784 to 79. The Stock Market was rather heavy this morning, and prices had a downward tendency. Exchange steady at our quotations. Cotton—There has been a little more activity in the market, and prices are a little firmer. Flour—Western Canal is in good demand at 4 dol. 681- a 4 dol. 75; Common Southern 4 dol. 50 a 4 dol. 75. Ashes firm and in good demand. Mr. Bancroft, who has been compelled to retire from the navy in consequence of ill health, has been appointed Minister to England, in the room of Mr. M'Lane, returned from the United States. The New York Sun contains an account of a seri ous riot among the Irish volunteers. The following is the news alluded to : WASHINGTON, MONDAY NIGHT.—The steamship M`Kini, Capt. Page, arrived on the sth instant at New Orleans, from Brazos Santiago, which place she lett on the 2d instant. She brought several sick volunteers arid some discharge d soldiers. Colonel Hays, with his rangers, had been heard from. They had scoured the country and returned to Camargo, without doing anything of note. Most of the army remained at Camargo. A great riot among a company of Irish volunteers, and some others, took place on the night of the 31st, at an encampment opposite I3urita. Guns were fired, and fifteen or twenty men are reporttd to have been killed or wounded. Besides the killed or wounded seen or shown, eight or ten art said to have been pushed from a steam-boat (lying by the shore) overboard, and were drowned. The Colonel of the Georgia regiment gallantly attempted, with sword and pistols in hand, to quell the riot. He shot down one man and wounded several others. Colonel Baker, of the: 4th Regiment Illinois Volun teers, repaired to the scene, and ordered two of his com panies, A and C, to assist in quelling the fight, and went in person with twenty chosen men to the steam-boat. He commanded peace as soon as he got on board, bqt was attacked by the rioters and had a desperate con• filet, in which he defended himself bravely for some time against swords, bayonets, and shot, but was final!) shot in the neck ; the ball entered behind, passing cut through his cheek or mouth. Of the twenty men who accompanied Colonel Baker eight were wounded, six with bayonets and two with balls. On the arrival of companies A and G, Captain Roberts, of the former, ordered his men to charge oh board, and led them to the steps, where he recei%ed severe wound from a bayonet, which entered near the shoulder blade and passed through his back. The boat was so well defendnd by the rioters, that the Illinoisians had to retreat, not having cartridges with them. Am munition was soon furnished them, however, and on again approaching the boat everything was quiet. No one of the Illinois volunteers was killed, and it was thought next morning that Baker and Roberts would recover of their wounds. It was feared two privates in, company C were mortally wounded. The rioters were finally subdued, forced to surrender their arms, and placed under a strong guard, preparatory to trial by court martial. Alexander J. Seahorn, Illinois Troops, Company A, died on board the M'Kim. Several others on the same vessel were nearly dead. Forty miles above Reynosa, on the 21st August, the steamboat Enterprise burst her boiler and blew up; five persons were killed instantly and several wounded. Killed—Enoch Tucker; A. BoAnell, of Tennessee; Mr. Scups, of Texas; 1 homes Ganfrey, of New York; a cook and a stranger, names unknown. Badly wounded—Lieutenant Dearing, of Louisville Legion; Wm. A. Crook, and C. B. Crook, Tennessee; Captain Woods, William Grey, Jacob Bouridge, and Thomas E tgle, of Texas; J. C. Howard, Sutler, of Bal. timore; Joseph Gregsby and Mr. ileekery, Sutlers, of Louisville Legions; Talor, the Pilot; Thomas IL-toper, Samuel Martin, Pt:trick Kelley, Frank and Pallacot, deck hands, and J. E. Crank, the mate. Thirteen sli ; .;htl) wounded. On the 28th ult., Lieut. Dearing was out of danger. Pattiek Kelly was out of his senses, and would probably die. The First Brigade from Camargo left on the 19th, in the direction of Monterey, under Gen. Worth. Three steamboats arrived at Camargo 21st ult., with M. M. 0. Butler, Gen. Shields, and several Colonels and Majors. Col. Harney marched from San Antonio (Texas) 23d, with 120 United States Dragoons, 500 mounted Texians, and 18 Delawares, for Monclavo, Mexico. This two. nished Gen. Taylor. who does not like Harney's moving in advance of Wool. Gen. Twiggs, with 2d Dragoons, Light Artillery, and the batteries of Captains Taylor and Rid filet', arrived at Camargo, Aug. 22. The Ist and 2d Regiments of the Ohio Volunte( rs, 6 companies of Louisville Legion and the Baltimore. battalion arrived at Camargo on the 22d. They suf fered much for the want of water, but stood the fatigues of the march pretty well. One of them died on the way np from Matamoros. General Worth established his first rig pit at Seralvo. lle will then go on and establish acother half-way between that place and Monterey. The steemer Rough and Ready arrived at Camargo with Colonel Croghan, Inspector-General, and other officers on board. The news of the revo!ution in Santa Anna's favour reached General Taylor's camp on the 27th, and created a great sensation. No one knew what to think of it. A letter dated Camargo, 20th ult., says General Taylor would leave Sept. 5, for Monterey. NEW 'YORK MONEY MARKET, SZPT. 2.

(Bef;)re Mr. Sf.rgeant AnAms,) Africk licod, aged 50, was indicted for sOaling i pine. of L'ad and a quantity of gas-fil - iings, the pro ,-„ p. of Charles Haoher. Tile prisoner was employed .As, plumber in a house in Marylehone-lane, and sold the properry in question at a marine ,to:e slip. On its ile'rig exposed for sale the proecator recognised it, and the marine store dealer identified the prisoner as the man of whom he made the purchase. Several witnesses were called, all of whom gave him an excellent charac ter, having known him for many years. .He was found Guilty, and on account of his former good character sentenced to only one month's imprisonment. Martha Howard, for stealing Subs. weight of mutton from a butcher's shop, was sentenced to six weeks' im prisonment. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Two soldiers, cif the Ist battalion, 3:1 company Grena dier Guards, named Mac Killaghan ar.d Easter, were ehar.:ed before Mr. Henry with the following assault : Mr. Weeks, the landlord of the King's Head public. house, Oxford street, stated that, at about half-past one o'clock this morning, he was walking with a friend, Mr Brett, in the Strand, when the prisoners, who were going in the same direction, a little before tht m, stopped, and pushed against them. Witness asked what they did that 'or, and passed on. The prisoners followed them, abusing them, and calling them " snobs ;" and at the corner of Trafalgar-square they met a policeman, to whom Mr. Brett appealed for protection. The police man engaged the prisoners in conversation while witness and his friend went on. As they were passing by the Horse Guards the prisoners overtook them, and Mae Killaghan swaggered against them, so as to separate them. Witness asked him what he meant? and Easter ran towards him (witness) and struck him in the face so violently as to knock him down. While he was down Mac Killaghan kicked hiM. A policeman came up shortly afterwards, and took the prisoners in charge. Air. HENRY examined the witness at great length as to 11;s state at the time.—He said that he was perfectly fiber. Mr. Brett, who said he was landlord of the Rose and Crown, Dartmouth-street, Westminster, corroborated the evidence of the complainant. He was quite sober. • Policeman F 51 took the prisoners into custody. They were both the worse for liquor—Easter worse than the other. The complainant and his friend were sober. Sergeant Fletcher, of the first battalion, third com• pan} Grenadier Guards, said that the prisoners had been in his company for near four years. They were both very irregular, being constantly absent without leave, and had been several times punished for absence. They were absent without leave last night, and ought to have been in barracks at ten o'clock. The prisoners said they did not meddle with the com plainant until he and his friend had both insulted them, by calling them " lobsters." They admitted that they were not sober. Mr. HENRY was convinced that a very brutal and un provoked assault had been committed on the com plainant, and he would either dispose of the case sum marily, or commit the prisoners for trial, as the complainant wished. He could inflict no higher penalty than 54 Mr. Weeks entertained no vindictive feeling, and was not anxious to have a high penalty, or indeed any penalty at all, inflicted. Mr. HENRY said he would not commit them for trial as Che complainant did not wish it, but the public must be protected from such men as the prisoners, who, bear ing a bad character in the company, and being habitual drunkards, rambled about the streets at night, annoying, insultiqg, and assaulting quiet and respectable pas sengers. They must each pay a fine of 5/., or be impri soned for two months. ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR. (Tills DAY.) STATE OF THE POLL. TEN O'CLOCK. Wood .. Carroll Hooper 185 90 39 ELEVEN O'CLOCK.

We observed Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Lord Strangford, Colonel Angelo, Sir Frederick Trench, Colonel Montague, and several other persons of dis tinction, who appeared to take the greatest interest in the description vihich was given by Mr. Wyatt of the mode in which the figure was to he elevated. The Queen Dowager and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester intimated to Mr. Wyatt, through Lord Strangford, their intention to be present at Apsley House during the time that the figure is elevating. It is not yet known at what time the elevation will take place, but every exertion is making to forward the preparations as quickly as possible. RELATING TO TIIE SOUTIIESK. A. dispatch was received at Lloyd's this morning from the Foreign Office, enclosing a copy of a dispatch from her Ma jesty's Consul at Stockholm, reporting the wreck of the schooner Southesk, particulars of which were give some time since. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY Fair average supplies of English Wheat have been re ceived up to our market this week ; yet the number of sam ples of that article on offer to-day was small. The attend ance of buyers was scanty, yet the demand ruled active, at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, Monday's enhanced currencies. With Foreign Wheat we were fairly supplied. All kinds were in good request, and quite as dear. A few thousand quarters of bonded Wheat were sold for export. Fine Barley supported late rates ; but the middling and interkr kinds commanded very littl attention. In Malt a fair average amount of business was transacted, at full prices. The show of Oats was again small, while the sale was firm, at the extreme value quoted on Monday. All other kinds of Grain, as well as Flour, were quite as dear. Wheat. 2,650 qrs. ARRIVALS.

" HAPPY LAND," AFTER ALL.—Upwards cf one hundred steerage passengers, consisting almost entirely of experienced artisans, who went over to America, dis appointed in the hope of improving their fortunes, are on their voyage home by the packet-ship Shenandoah, under the firm conviction that during the ensuing year at least they can get higher wages in their own country Liverpool Times. CHILD DROPPlNG.—Yesterday, the police received information that a female child, apparently six weeks old, had been deserted by its unnatural parents on the door step No. 27, York-street West, St. George's-in the-East. The infant was decently dressed, and was wrapped in a flannel bedgown. It was conveyed by the police to Wapping workhouse. COLONEL ANSLEY, FORMERLY OF THE FUSILIER GUARDS.—This distinguished officer, whose death is announced in the papers of the 19th instant as having taken place at Naples, was the younger brother of the late John Ansley, the well-known Lord Mayor and ex cellent London magistrate. After having completed his education, and taken the degree of Master of Arts at Oxford, Colonel Ansley obtained his first commission in the Fusilier Guards, to which he was gazetted in March, 1798. To Colonel Ansley's surviving brothers in arms, or to those who had the pleasure of his acquaintance in private life, it is unnecessary to say that he was not enly the gallant officer, but that he was something more and better. lie was a man possessing great general know ledge and information in every branch of science and of art ; but, above all, he la as blessed with a most kind and amiable disposition, and a temper which, in sick ness and in pain, bore him unruffled through all the ills of this life, nor quitted him even on the approach of death itself. ----- DARING ROBBERIES IN LAMBETlL—Yesterday in formation was ree,ived at the police-stations, Lambeth, of the following robberies:—On the 26th instant about fifty yards of hemp carpeting was stolen from Mr. H. Hall, furnishing warehouseman, 79,Westminster-bridge road. On the same day a Brussels carpet was stolen from the shop of Mr. Adamson, Clapham Old Town ; and ninety-four yards of cotton tick, from outside the shop of Mr. Watson, 7, Upper Dorset-place, Clapham road ; also from the shop-window of Mr. Ellis, 66, Lon don-rOad, cards containing - forty-five wedding-rings, about fifty gold keepers of various patterns, and five or six gold finger rings, with a cluster of pearls and a ruby iu the centre.

We trust that this anti cipation may prove to be entirely unfounded, but, looking to the change in the weather, the extreme length of the vessel, and the quantity of water She draws, the chances are certainly against her being got off, unless with very considerable damage. The wool sales have just been terminated, and we are much pleased to report that they have gone off satis factorily. For wool of good quality an advance has been obtained. But upon all hands it is admitted that the wools are sent home too full of burrs and prickle. The colonial flock masters ought seriously to consider these complaints, and attend more to the condition of the staple they send to this country. The Cape wools come over very well, and, as a matter of course, better prices are realised for them. The Public Securities are very dull to-day in conse quence of the thin agendance, this being a strict holiday with the Jews. Consols for present Transfer hare been marked 95,1 -I, and for Time 95 -a.
