By the Washington steam-ship which arrived this morning we have received tiles of papers to the 21st ult., from New York, after fifteen days' run. She has brought seventeen passengers and a small quantity of specie. The Washington brings dates from Mexico to the 19th:of January. A great deal of skirmishing had taken place there, as well as in California. GILBERT A. a BECKETT , DOUGLAS JERROLI). W. M. TrIACKERAY. On the 18th November San Jose, then in possession of a body of 100 Americans, was attacked by 200 Mexicans, having with them two 6-pounders. After three uniilM cessful attacks, the Mexicans drew off with a loss of Majores, their chief, and twenty or thirty men, the Americans having lost none. COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From the .Ncw York Sun, Feb. 19.) The market still grows easier, and rates are almost down to the legal standard. General confidence is fast being restored, and business working into its old channels. The rumour that the Rothchilds had proposed to take the United States loan is contradicted officially at Washington. In foreign exchanges for the Washington, there is no:, very much doing, though there is no dulness or langr‘or in the market. Sales have generally been made at 1104 to 1101. Some British Government bills have been offered in market at 1114, but refused at anything over 111. Exchange on London we therefore quote at 110 i to I I I, and on Paris the same as yesterday. The news from Europe has had a very favourable influence upon the money market. Exchange on England is drooping, and at the close of to-day's ope rations only 110 was offered for the best city bills. We quote sterling at 109 to 110, and francs at sf. 25c. to sf. 27ic. (From the New Yorh Inquirer of Monday, Feb. 21.) SaTuanar.—Government and State Stocks were firm to-day, with moderate sales, whilst the fancy stocks were rather heavy. FOrpign Exchange was in limited reqtr.est at 1091 to 110 k on England, and 5.26 k on France.

Flour, &c.—Sales of Genesee, Michigan, and Obio, were made (for home use) at 6,064 to 6,121 dolls., with some at 6,181 dolls. The market for Western is firm ; sales of New Orleans were made (part to arrive) at 5,87} to 6 dolls. Corn Meal is dull-2,50 dolls, is offered for Jersey and 2,624 asked. 9,000 bushels Corn sold at 55 to 58 cents—the latter price for old yellow. Northern Oats 48 cents. Rye held steady at 90 cents.

IALE OF LAMPS-FIFTY PER CENT. ittllUCTlON.—This is a fact—the cause is an enormous stock having been purchased from a Lamp koifse retiring from busi ness, at fifty-seven per cent. under the cost prices. The whole will ha cleared out at this enormous deviation from the actual prices, from the establishment of the METROPOLITAN LIGHT COM PANY, 447, West Strand. The stock consists of a chaste and extremely beautiful selection if Table Lamps, for oil and candles ; 011 and Candle Chandeliers, a few Sideboard and Bracket Lamps. Candelabra, and Candieeticks for Table aid Pianoforte. Tke Oil Lamps areAtted up with the Diamond turners, and Candle Lamps of the very latest improvement. An early call, to make the first choice, is recommended, for the sale eannot last long—the low price will induce all to buy. At one half the price every article will be sold.

Sir John l'irie, Bart., Deputy-Chairman of the Penin sular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. Henry Wise, Esq. BaNkras—Messrs, Glyn, Hallifax, Mills, and Co., London. The objects of this Company are to carry o• mining, agricultural, and trading operations in the Eastern Archipelago, and the acquiring and disposing of lands in the Island of Labuan and the parts adjacent —a region abounding in mineral wealth, most fertile in all the valu able tropical prodUctiOne, and very happily situate for the purposes of commerce. the Island of Labuan has been formally taken possession of by the Crown of Great Britain; and, by a treaty with the Sultan of Borneo, many highly important advantages are permanently secured to this country. Piracy iu the eastern seas will now be effectually suppreSsed; and, under the protection of the British flag at Labuan, a new era as regards those regions, has commenced, which affords the most fa vourable opportunity for successfully accomplishing the objects of this Company. To those who are at all acquainted with the Indian Archipelago, it is wholly unnecessary to expatiate on the advantages to be derived from this undertaking. The important discovery of an abundant sup ply of excellent coal on the mainland of Borneo, in the immediate vi cinity of Labuan, is a circumstance which of itself would render this enterprise pregnant with the most beneficial results. A formalgrant of this coal, extending through a district of about 150 miles, has been obtained from the Sultan of Borneo, and is, with the approval of her Majesty's Government, now held by Mr. Wise, with whom arrange ments for its working will be made. The working of the coal mines will form an important feature in the operations of the Company, The geographical position of the Borneo coal districts in relation to our Eastern possessions, and to the steam communications which are now carried on, and others which are about to be carried on in con nexion therewith, is a matter of peculiar interest, and even of na tional importance. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, for instance, disburse more than 110,0001. annually for coal for their steam-vessels, of which sum abont 90,0001. are ex pended in coal used to the eastward of the Cape of Good Hope. This coal. its well as the requisite supplies for the steam•vessels of her Majesty's irivy, and for these of the Honourable East India Com pany on the India and China stations, is at present chiefly furnished from England, at an average cost exceeding 335. per ton ; so that the eirperiditure by her Majesty's Government, the Honourable East In dia Company. and the Peninsular and Oriental Company for the sin gle item of coal, will be considerably reduced as soon as the opera tions of She Eastern Archipelago Company are sufficiently matured to admit of their supplying the several depots which have been esta blished at llong-Kong, Singapore, and other places, with coal for the use of the many British and Foreign ste. m-vessels re - orting to those J.

The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those employing them are subjected by the Bd and 4th 'Victoria, cap. Pb, are continually resorted too. This breach of the law is acqaiesced in by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter im possibility In innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge nious and effective Ramenear machine has been invented. This invention consist' of four brushes forming a square head, which by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to the small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby treating an even pressure on all four sides if a chimney. The reds attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angle and the whole is surmeunted with a doable revolving ball, having also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its mate meet perfectly. The capabilities of this mealtime are best demenstrated by tke fact, that it is exclusively used ter tke Govornment and numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry in continuing their annual con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as of the philanthropic views of the projectors.

Rumours were afloat that Mr. Trist had been in con ference with the Mexican Commissioners again, and that certain terms were agreed upon, but nothing authentic is known of what they were. Colonel Hays, with 100 Rangers and a few volunteers, reached Teotihuacan on the 12th January, in pursuit of Padre Jarauta, and while reposing at a hacienda, with hcases unsaddled and unbridled, Padre Jarauta came suddenly upon them with a body of guerillas, and a severe contest ensued. Eight Mexicans were killed and left on the field, and the whole body successfully re pulsed, the Americans sustaining no injury. Padre Jarauta was last seen on his horse, severely wounded. and the animal was afterwards found loose, the blood running down his sides. On the 20th to 25th January, Captain Burton was attacked frequently by an increased Mexican force of 300 men under Penando. Each time they were re pulsed with considerable loss, and when the express left for Mazatlan the fighting was still going on. The Ame ricans were invested by three times their number in the midst of the enemies' country, and with no assistance to fall back upon. There had been some skirmishing in the ♦icinity of Mazatlan. On the 20th January, 160 Americans en. countered and put a body of over 300 Mexicans to flight, with a loss of one killed and thirteen wounded. A letter, dated Vera Cruz, January 24, says:— " We are in receipt of news from the city of Mexico to the 19th inst. All was quite at the capital. Peace! peace! is the cry. It is generally believed that General Scott and Mr. Trist have succeeded i❑ making a treaty of peace; nothing is known, for of course all the move ments of those high in authority are kept secret. Many persons of respectability, and some high in authority, positively state there is no doubt there will be peace in three months. " The courier dispatched by the English legation ar rived here on Saturday (the 22d), having left Mexico on the 19th. Almost everybody regards peace as con cluded. I have seen a private letter from a high source entitled to credit, which states that this general impres sion is entitled to no credit, and that he cannot see that PHILADELPHIA, FEB. 20, P.M.—The market for flour yesterday was very inactive, but holders continue firm with only a home demand, at prices within the range of dolls. 5,75 for common, dolls. 5,871 to dolls. 6 for se lected, and dolls. 6,50 for fancy brands. Corn meal is still without demand for export, and Pennsylvania brands can be had at dolls. 2,371. Rye flour is wanted at dolls. 3,62 k to dolls. 3,75. Wheat is not plenty, and mostly held above the views of buyers, who offer dolls. 1,20 to dolls. 1,26 for good reds. Corn is unsettled and dull—the only sale was about 1,500 bushels good yellow at 531-c. weight. Groceries remain steady, with reduced stocks and a fair demand. Further sales of New Orleans sugars were made at sc. to sic. Cotton is inactive and dull at previous quotations. Provisions in limited de mand. Seed—Further sales of fair and prime clover at dolls. 3,75 to dolls. 4 per bushels. Whiskey is steady at 25c. for barrels. ports. The certain increase in the consumption of coal in the eastern seas, from the causes already mentioned, and the opening of other channels of demand, cannot fail eventually to augment the use of Borneo coal. The projected steam communication between Singapore and our Australian colonies—the probable communication by the same means at no distant period, between the various British settle ments to the eastward of the Cape of Good Hope and the west coast of America—as well as the system of railways slow about to be esta blished in India—are events eminently calculated to occasion an immense consumption of Borneo coal, the more so as it can be sup plied at comparatively moderate rates. Samples of the Labuan and Borneo coal have been brought over to this country by Mr. Wise, and submitted by her Majesty's Government to a careful examination and analysis by competent parties, with a most satisfactory result. The Borneo coal has aloe been pronounced by the Calcutta t sal Committee, appointed by the Bengal Gevernraent, to be equal to the best English coal ; and Captain Wallage, in his report on the supplies of coal obtained front the seam at Labuan, for the use of the Honourable East India Company's steam-ship Nemesis, dated Sarawak, 10th June, 1847, observes—" I have no hesitation in stating that the coal received at Labuan is equal to any English coal I have seen on board steamers in India, and decidedly better than any coal worked in India for steam purposes." The portion of territory contemplated for the first operations of the Eastern Archipelago Company possesses a climate and soil admir ably adapted for the culture of cotton, tobacco, sugar, coffee, rice, nutmegs, pepper, and other valuable productions, and is most favourably situate, having the advantage of I abuan, now subject to British dominion, as a point d'appui ; nor can there be a doubt of the excellent position of the proposed field of enterprise for an ex tensive and lucrative commerce. The proximity of Java, Sumatra, Siam, Cochin-China, Hainan, Manilla, Celebes, &c., is not only of great importance in this respect, but also as afording the means of intreducing with facility from those places Chinese and other cold • Mats, and labourers to any extent required for the service of the Company. Labuan itself will form an essential link in the chain of our eastern settlements, from Penang, .Malacca, and Singapore to Hong Kong ; and in the district of Sarawak every protection and encouragement will be granted by Mr. Brooke in furtherance of the Company's objects. In short, every circumstance justifies the anti ci eation that the late proceedings of the British Government relating to Borneo, if followed up with vigour by the operations of the pre sent Company, will change that which has been heretofore a region of piracy, lawless violence, danger and desolation, into a scene of busy, peaceful, and beneficial commerce; bringing the advantages of progressive civilisation to a large and fertile tract of the globe, and conferring extensive benefits on the commerce and manufactures of Great Britain. The philanthropist and the statesman, as well as the merchant, will thus feel interested in this design, which, through the medium of British enterprise, sanctioned and protected by the wis dom and decision of the Government, promises the amelioration of rho condition of the natives of the Indian Archipelago, among whorl there exists a disposition most favourable to the development of the resources of those countries. The view here taken of the promising character of the undertak ing is not hypothetical, but is the result of the arduous personal re searches of various individuals, who, in times past, hate been de sirous of widening the circle of commerce and civilization, and, among others more recently, of Mr. Wise, who has for several years devoted hie time to the closest investigation of the subject. To his patient and indefatigable perseverance for a long period in calling the attention of her Majesty's Government to the importance of Laboan as the site of a British settlement, may be ascribed the fact, that the protection of our flag is now extended to countries so important both in a political and commercial point of view. The Queen has appointed Mr. Brooke Governor and C: mmander in-Chlef in and over the Island of Labuan and its dependencies, as well as her Majesty's Commissioner and Consul-General to the Sultan and independent chiefs of Borneo. These measures, and the course of poli-y which they indicate, will materially facilitate and advance the objects and interests of the Company throughout the Eastern Ar chipelago. The Company being incorporated by Royal Charter, the responsi bility of each shareholder is limited to the amount of his subscrip tion. The charter provides for the execution by the shareholders of a Deed of Settlement, to be approved by the Preeideut of the Board of Trade.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT ISLINGTON.--Last night a fire, attended with considerable destruction of property, broke out in the extensive range of premises belonging to Mr. John Allen, a laundress, carrying on business in Dorset-place, Liverpool-road, Islington. It commenced in one of the drying-rooms, and was occasioned by a quantity of clothes falling upon a drying-stove, which set the place in a blaze. Owing to the easily ignitable nature of the stock iu trade the flames spread most fear fully. The engines of the parish, London Brigade, and West of England Company were remarkably quick in arriving—and,towing to the exertions of all parties, the flames were extinguished, not, however, until that portion of the premises in which the fire began was burned out, the ,whole of the goods therein consumed, and the remainder of the property severely damaged. Unfortu nately, a considerable quantity of goods in trust have been burned, and Mr. Allen is not insured for a single penny. Tnn WEATHER.—For nearly the last fortnight we have experienced most boisterous weather. The rain has fallen in heavy showers, and the wind at times has raged very high. We hope, however, the storm has now passed off. Yesterday (Friday) the weather appeared to have changed and there is now some prospect of fine weather, which seemed almost to have deserted us. The country, in some districts, has been completely soaked; and in the neighbourhood of Exeter, several places have remained covered with water, in others the effect of the powerful showers, the land being quite saturated before, was to wash away large quantities of the soil. The storm of Saturday last proved very injurious to the Plymouth Breakwater. The sea made a heavy breach in the Breakwater towards the eastern end, near:the beacon, hundreds of tons of stone having been washed from the southern, or outer side, to the northern, or inner aide of the works. Eight cranes were broken down and des troyed.—Devonport Independent. Morter-Mattarr.—The premium on gold at Paris is about 80 per mille, which, at thelEnglish Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25.91 ; and the exchange at Paris of London at short being 25.65, it follows that gold is 1.01 per sent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Harnburgh the price of gold is 437 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce far standard gold, gives an exchange of 12.11 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London a t short being 13.11 t, it follows that gold is 0.34 per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburgh. KINSALE ELECTION. KINSALE, MONDAY.—Mr. Hawes arrived in Kinsale this morning, and proceeded to wait on the electors of the borough, His canvass has been most successful. Lord Robert Clinton (a son of the Duke of Newcastle), who has been introduced, in a public address, to the constituency, by the late candidate, Mr. Guinness, is his antagonist. If there be no bribery there is little doubt of the success of Mr. Hawes, as a large majority of the electors are liberal, and it is most cheering to witness the indignation ma nifested by a vast number at the conduct of these wise voted for money at the last election. An:opportanity now presents itself to the electors to redeem their character, and save their privilege of sending a representative to Parliament, for, should there be a repetition of that disgraceful venality which characterised some of the electors at the last election, there is little doubt that a Reformed House of Commons will take from the borough a privilege which has been so much abused. BAGGED SCHOOLS.—Last evening the supporters of the Ragged School in George-street, Lisson-grove, held their annual general meeting in the Theatre of the Literary and Scientific Institution, Edward-street, Portman-square. Lord Ashley, M.P., was in the chair, supported by the Earl of Harrowby, and most of the neighbouring clergy. The report stated that the dis trict in which the school was situated was inhabited by a dense and increasing population, living in a state of destitution. During the short period of ten months twenty-eight young persons from that district were con victed, of whom fourteen were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment, and the remainder were trans ported for seven years. Out of fifty persons only five attended Divine worship. Since the establishment of the school there had been a marked improvement in the behaviour of the children in the vicinity. The average attendance during the year had been, to the day school, boys 80, girls 60 ; to the infant school 281, and to Sun day evening school 216. The annual subscriptions for the support of the school amounted to only 90/., and there was a debt upon the Institution of 100/. On the motion of the Rev. J. Walpole, seconded by the Earl of Harrowby, the report was adopted. Several resolutions were then passed, and thanks having been voted to the Noble Lord in the chair, the meeting separated. ALDERMAN GIBBS AND ST. STIIVIIEN, WAL' BROOK.--A numerously attended meeting of the parishioners of St. Stephen, Walbrook, was held yes terday in the vestry-room, for the purpose, if possible, of securing a final adjustment of the differences whic h have so long existed between the c hurchwardens Gbb (and other officers) of this parish and Mr. Alderman _ s. The Rev. Dr. Croly, the rector, was ca lled to the chair, and Mr. Tyrell, the solicitor, of Guild hall, was present to watch the proceedings on behalf of Mr. Alderman Gibbs. After a long discussion, Mr. Harrison at length moved, " That the suggestion of Mr. Justice Erle be acceded to, inasfar as the parish agree to pay 5501. to Flight and Rock, and the like auto 'to Mr. Alderman Gibb s , towards his costs, upon his assi gn i ng t h e par i s h trust property to fourteen new trustees, to be appointed by the parish. Mr. Wilson having secon d e d t h e propo sition the rev. chairman put it to the sense of the meet ing, and it was carried. A committee was then formed to carry out the spirit of the resolution, the result to be reported to a future vestry. The meeting was then a djourned. ACCIDENT.—WhiIe a shopkeeper in Richmond street was pumping whisky out of a cask at his door, with the aid of a light, he incautiously placed it so near the aperture as to set fire to the liquid. On observing the flame he hastily closed the bug in the hole to ex tinguish it, upon which both ends burst out with a loud report knocking down and seriously injuring a boy who `was sta.nding• by, and spilling a considerable quantity of spirits.—Caluknian Mercury. 1. I N D BU N N versus The trial is *Yet' Of " 15111111 TIMMS Lind. And by means of the papers, the filets have got wind. Mr. Bann tad his lawyers, and so r are poor Jenny, Who now, it appears, has to pay a rare penny. Two Thousand Five Plundred, besides all expence,S, Is enough to make Jenny bereft • f her senses. This minstrel, whose masts has made IS so fond, Has to pay this amount, having broken her bond ; Tee, in spite of the Speeches of coansel vehement, Jenny Lind is declared to have broken agreement. AKA certainly that is a serious charge. Which should give a broad hint to the public at large. I have thought since I keard of this action of BKna, Of the publ:e agreement of 14CSES and SON. B MOSES and SON, as 3es all must respond, Have never been known to dishonour their bond. In the whole of their promises, no matter what, They've stuck to their contract, if Jenny has not. Their Dress coats are proofs that they stick to their terms, And the whole of their stock this agreement confirms. Their elegant fashion, and quality, too, Aro proofs that they keep their agreement in view ; And an action should 'icier been entered by Bunn, Had the " Nightingale" acted like MOSEid and SON.

" General Bustamente, ex-President of the Mexican Republic, has issued an address to his fellow citizens, dated at Guanajuato on the 24th ult. He says that, though willing to shed the last drop of bleod in defence of his country, he has not had the satisfaction of sharin , in the honourable battles in which his countrymen have been engaged. " General Bustamente concluds by saying there are 30,000 valiant men left, who will not remain passive during the occupation of the Republic, &c.

THE PRONUNCIA.MENTO OP SAN LUIS POTOSI. " 1. The state of San Luis Potosi, free, sovereign, and independent, one of those which compose the Mexican Confederation, resumes the full use of its sovereignty. "2. In consequence the State repudiates the so-called Government of the union, residing at the city of Quere taro, and severs the ties by which it was bound, as it does not consider it legitimate, and as it has not obeyed the voice of the people in the war with the United States of North America. "3. The Congress of the State, faithf u l to the will of its constituents, renews its protest of the Ist of June last, and will maintain the war with all its force until it suc ceeds in having the justice of the republic of Mexico in the present war recognised and respected. "4. To this effect, and that tho war may be carried on with the utmost vigour, all the other States which com posed the old confederation are invited to join the national standard, and to contribute with all their re sources according to their wealth and population, "5. In order that the operations of the war and the progress of public affairs may not be retarded by this union, and to give more vigour to the enterprise, there will be held in this capital, or wherever the majority of the States should determine, and with the least possible delay, a convention composed of the Deputies of the States which may adopt the principles of the State of San Luis. "6. This convention, the depository of the power of the people, will proceed immediately after its installation to appoint a chief executive, who will serve for the time and under the conditions which may be prescribed for him. " 7. The convention will give its principal attention to the war, it will provide means either by levying now contributions or contracting loans in the republic or abroad, apportioning to every st ate which may join the confederation the sacrifice which will have to be made for the common cause. "8. The State is expressly authorised to call on the other States to join it in order Jo create resources to prosecute the war, to raise troops and to dispose of them but in no case shall as the circumstances may require; it have the power to impose p e nalties on any person residing in the State except those s anctioned byithe law. " 9. This decree will be published with the solemnity of a national edict, and all the functionaries of th e State will yield it due obedience under an oath,,.thp f ormula of . which will be prescribed by the Gove %., t , St, and with out subscribing to which they cannot lirr• R` 'w eir employ ment.

The American detachment, on their way to Chiahunhua, were encamped at El Passo on the 15th of December with a fair prospect of another field of Sacramento before them. The Mexicans were reported as 12,000 strong, while the American force is stated at less than 2,000. The American troops were in high spirits, and ready to meet any number of Mexicans which could be produced. SANTA FE AND NEC 31511C0. By express Irons Santa Fe news bave been reeeived from Colonel Gilpin's camp, at Fort Bent. It seems that a force of Mexicans and Comanche In dians, distant 250 miles south of this station, were pre paring to attack him. Colonel Gilpin and his command were making every preparation to receive the enemy, or to be the aggressors. He made his calculations to be ready for operations on the 12th or 15th of February.

Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the TTniversity of Filo burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, Lendes, honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical gociety, &e. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several eentitions. is order that It may bo really the cause of mutual hapeiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestie wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many ceald itbe traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when Used in moderatioa is frausti with advantage, becomes, when abased, the praline source er mischief and of greater or less injury t• the constitutional and vital powers. Tke particular excesses. on .he nature and conseonence of which this Treatise protheses to dilate, are productive of greater severity if misery to the human frame, Stan any ether to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate aid complete acerant if the Aea.temy and Physiology of the Repredletive Organs, aid of their relative conditions ii health aid disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention end study, for what subject cau be of more importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical eaeabilities of which every man 'shield be possessed. It untertunately impetus that the unhappy victim of excessive ine.ingence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or frog: the follies of advanced age, while safferieg from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread se frequently, at erroneously entertained that those complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where alone It oan be procured. In acting thus, ke forgets that accurate discrimination la ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, aid, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical mai who can show by kis possecnion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled. to esteem and respect is his profes sional pursuits, the utmost ceatidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honenrs, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.
