The Sun. — London, England, 1841-10-02 00:00:00

MORNING SUN his high moral integrity and the efficiency of his con duct of the department, notwithstanding his avowed preference for General Jackson in opposition to Mr Adams, But Mr. M`Lean would not allow party politics to intrude into the administration of his department, and neither removals nor appointments were allowed by him from political considerations. Mr. Adams approved of this course ; and, although the principle cost him his place, yet he would not displace John M`Lean. On the accession of General Jackson, the unhallowed resolution was taken to transform the Post Office Department into a grand political machine. To this course John NPLean would not consent, and the consequence was, that he was transferred to the bench of the Supreme Court, to make room for a convenient Postmaster-General. Such an instrument was found in William T. Barry, who filled the department with corruption to saturation. Judge M`Lean is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He is a man of activity and energy. He has preserved the ermine of justice spotless ; and if he leaves the bench for the camp, he will make an able Secretary of War. Hugh S. Legare, of South Carolina, the successor of Mr. Crittenden, as Attorney-General, as a scholar and statesman, is one of the ablest and most accomplished men of the republic. The soundness and elegance of his scholarship were eminently displayed, some twelve to fifteen years ago, in the pages of the Southern Cituirterly Review—a work which was published, mainly, to advo cate the peculiar doctrines of the South upon the science —falsely so called—of polil ical economy He has since written occasionally for other periodicals, and the depth of his learning has recently been displayed in the New York Review, by an article upon the charac ter and age of 'Demosthenes. Mr. Legare is reputed also as an able lawyer, as we know he is an eloquent speaker. He is descended from an ancient Hugue not family, which emigrated to South Carolina dur ing the age of Protestant persecutions in France. Be ing a supporter of General Jackson, he was sent as the first American Charge to Belgium. On his return, in 1836, he was elected to Congress from Charleston, in op position to H. C. Pinckney, the candidate of the Nulli fiers. lie separated from the administration of Mr. Van Buren on the Sub-treasury question, and went out of Congress. During the late political campaign he was one of the ablest and most efficient orators before the public in this and other States ; and inasmuch as we are obliged to lose Mr. Crittenden, we rejoice that the President has found Hugh S. Legare. Charles A. Wickliffe, of Kentucky. succeeds Mr. Granger at the head of the Post Office Department, We know less of this gentleman than of either of his associates in the Cabinet. He came into Con gress in the early part of General Jackson's administra tion, as his political friend and supporter. Disgusted, however, with the usurpations and horrible corruptions of that administration, Mr. Wickliffe soon left the Jack son ranks, and has since been acting with the Whigs in the local politics of Kentucky. He is a man of energy and ability, and is understood to be rather opposed to Mr. Clay. He cannot ma'ie a better Post-master than Frank Granger ; but we trust he will make a; good. Such, with Daniel Webster at its head, is the new Ca binet of President Tyler. It is strong in character and talent, and thoroughly Whig in its principles. The Op position, therefore, who have been laying " the flattering unction to their souls" that. they were to gain by the change they have been labouring, with certain conspira tors in our own ranks, to produce, are doomed to bitter disappointment. And in regard to such a Cabinet, with characters and capacities such as has been briefly sketched, what is our duty ? Deeply as we lament the course which the President has pursued on the Bank question, we can nevertheless perceive no good reason fir giving countenance to opposition to his administra tion, with such a Cabinet. A. ROW IN CONGWESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Thursday, Sept. 9. The House went again into Committee of the whole. Mr. Cushing hoped the amendment of the Senate would not be agreed to. Mr. McKeon hoped the amendment would be adopted. _ _ _ _ Mr. Cushing relined, and was followed by Messrs. Wise, Adams, Ingersoll and Stanly ; the latter making some remarks which reflected on Mr. Wise, that gentle man moved to the seat of Mr. Stanly, when they were soon engaged in a personal encounter, Mr. Wise striking the first blow. The Speaker having resumed the Chair, and order being restored, Mr. Wise gut up and said that he rose; perfectly cool, to make a cknowledgments to the House for baving vio lated its dignity, and asking its pardon, submitted him self to tile infliction of any punishment which its judg ment might dictate. He had suffered his feelings to overcome him, on the utterance of a - •s•ord from the gentleman of North Carolina, which he could not brook, either in this House or elsewhere, and had struck him. He had gone to his seat to remonstrate with him. Mr. Stanly said the gentleman had not attempted to remonstrate with him, - but had attempted to browbeat him, as he does every one who dares to differ with the high-souled Virginian.' He began to warn me. I told him I wanted none of his warning. - He asked me to go out with him. I told him to go himself, I wanted no thing to do with him. He said that what I had said placed me beneath his contempt. I told him he was a liar—with that he attempted to strike me, but he failed ; and if the House had notinterfered, I would have given him that punishment which his insolence deserved. He (Mr. Stanly) would 'tsk no pardon of the House, and if he was in the position of the gentleman from Virginia he would resign, or submit to the punishment of the House in silence. Mr. Ingersoll was not acquainted with the mole of proceeding in such cases, but offered a resolution that a Committee be appointed to inquire into the circumstances attending the affair, and to recommend such punish ment as they might think proper. Mr. Andrews hoped the resolution would not be adopted, as it was found at the last session, when such an affray had occurred, that they could not agree on a salutary and proper punishment. He would therefore move to lay the resolution on the table, and move farther that Henry A. Wise be 'immediately expelled from the floor of the House. Mr. Hopkins moved the previous question on Mr, Ingersoll's motion, which was seconded, and his resolu tion was agreed to. The Committee was ordered to consist of seven members. A more minute account of the " scene," is given by the reporter of the Intelligencer, as follows While Mr. Fillmore was in the midst of a sen tence, the reporter (who had noticed Mr. Wise cross over to the seat of Mr. Stanly, and had observed those two gentlemen in conversation, apparently of a very excited character) saw Mr. Wise raise his hand violently, and aim a blow at the face of Mr. Stanly, who as instantaneously met or returned it. A violent fight followed, and in less time than it can be described in this report, a scene of mingled upruar and fight, such as the reporter in many years' experience has never witnessed on the floor of the House, ensued. Messrs. Wise and Stanly were lost to the sight of the reporter in the general rush, while Mr. Arnold, of Tennessee, and Mr. Butler, of Ken tucky, were noticed in a violent personal struggle, striking at and grappling with each other. Mr. Dixon 11. Lewis and Mr. Gilmer, and others, were seen in the midst., endeavouring to quell the disturbance, which had now reached a point at whieh it seemed impossible to arrest its progress. The members had rushed from all parts of the hall. sonic rushing over and others standing upon the tables, literally piling themselves one en the other, and several canes were seen by the reporter raised up as if in the act of strikin g . The Speaker during this tim e h a d resume d t h e chair t ' in formally, but no one paid the least regard to his voice, and he called in vain on the officers, none of whom were observed by the reporter, with the exception of the door keeper, who was endeavouring to close the doors and windows against the crowd from without, who attempted to rush within the hall. The general melee (of which the reporter was taking notes) continued from two and a half to three minutes. It then subsided, as it appeared, though by what direct process the reporter could not understand ; but he heard t h e voice of Mr. Wis e , who had returned to his seat, ad dressing the chair. - MR.

I hardly know when such a mass of business has I , een despatched in a single session of Congress. Tbo annual wi n t er S ess i on i s now near at hand . ; the same Congress is again soon to assemble, and feeling as deeply as I ever did the indis-iensable necessity of some suitable prevision for the keeping oF the public money, fur aid to the operation of the Treasury, and to the high public interests of currency and exchange, I am nut in haste to believe that the party which has now the pre dominance will not, in all these respects, yet fulfil the expectations of the country. If it shall not, then our condition is forlorn indeed. But for one, I will not give up the hope. My particular connexion with the Administration, however, is with another department. I think very humbly—none can think more humbly—of the value of the services which I am able to render to the inibre, in that post. But as there is, so far as I know, on all subjects affecting Our foreign relations, a concurrence in opinion between the President and myself ; and as there is nothing to disturb the harmony of our in tercourse, I have not felt it •consistent with the duty which I owe to the country, to run the risk, by any sudden or abrupt proceeding, of embarrassing the Exe cutive, in regard to subjects and questions now imme diately pending, and which intimately affect the 'reser vation of the peace of the country. I am, dear Sir, with constant regard, yours, &c., &c., (Signed) DANIEL WESTER. H. Ketchum, Esq. New York. ANOTHER LETTER FROM MIL WEBSTER. The Secretary of State has addreksed the following Jotter to the Editors of the NVionyl Intelli!encer Washington, Sept. 13,1841. Gentlemen—Lest any misapprehension should exist as to the reasons which have led me to differ from the course pursued by my late colleagues, I wish to say that I remain in my place, first, because I have seen no suf ficient reasons for the dissolution of the late Cabinet, by the voluntary act of its own members. I am perfectly persuaded of the absolute necessity of an institution, under the authority of Congress, to aid revenue and financial operations, and to give the country the blessings of a good currency and cheap exchanges. Notwithstanding what has passed, I have confidence that the President will co-operate with the Legisla ture in overcoming all difficulties in the attainment of these objects ; and it is to the union of the Whig party—by which I mean the whole party, the Whig Pre sident, the Whig Congress, and the Whig people--that I look for a realisation of our wishes. I can look nu where else. In the second place, if I had seen reasons to resign my office, I should not have done so without giving the President reasonable notice, and affording him time to select the hands to which he should confide the delicate and important affairs now pending in this department. I am, Gen,!eman, respectfully, your obedient servant, DANIEL WEBSTER. It will thus be seen that, notwithstanding all that has passed, Mr. 'Webster has strong confidence that the diffi culties that have arisen upon the Bank question will yet be surmounted, and that at no distant day. Most anxiously do we hope that this confidence may not prove fallacious. The country needs a fiscal agent., (or rather a national bank, for we hate the substantial name), and its wonted prosperity cannot return, its business cannot be transacted with the same facility and profit' as before, until such an institution, in some form, shall be organised. Mean time, we trust that the exhortations of Mr. Webster for the union and harmony of the Whig party—" the entire Whig party"—may not have been uttered in vain. We regret deeply the entire break ing up of the Cabinet, for we must again repeat that we have seen no good reason why, upon this bank ques tion, the Secretaries of War and the Navy, and the At torney and Postmaster-General, were required to resign. The resignation of Mr. Granger, we are told, was not expected by the President ; and the act was beyond doubt forced upon him by his Whig friends in the New York delegation—most unwisely, in our opinion. RIOT IN CINCINNATI—SEVEN LIVES LOST. BALTIMORE, AUc. 9.—The Western mail this morn ing brings accounts of a riot which took place in that city on Tuesday night. It had its origin in a fight which took place on Thursday night, in Columbia-street, between a few negroes and some whites, in which one of the whites was stabbed so severely as to make his life long pre- carious. On Friday night from two to three thousand persons collected around the negro houses on Sixth, east of Broadway, and the negroes having armed themselves, fired upon the crowd. The riot now commenced in earnes'. A cannon was brought to the scene, loaded with slugs, and several times fired down Sixth street, rak ing the whole street, and it is supposed with effect. The Mayor went on the ground, and succeeded at length, with the aid of the military, which he called out, in restoring order. The Mayor supposes there were two whites and two negroes killed, and from. 15 to 20 persons wound ed, principally whites. On Saturday morning the ex citement still contit.ued, an extra meeting of the City Councils was called for ten o'clock, and a town meet ing of the citizens was about to be held. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT THE BAY OF CHALEUR.— The Pictou Mechanic end Farmer of the 'Bth instant mentions on the authority of a passenger in the Uni corn, who came on board the Unicorn steamer at Gaspe, that the whole, extent of the forest along the Bay of Chaleur was on fire, that a great portion of the new town of Bathurst was burnt down, and that four or five of Mr. Cunard's vessels were burnt on the stocks. PUBLIC DEBT OF TEXAS.—The Austin Gazette gives the following as the amount of the National liabilities of Texas, exclusive of the bonds sold by the Loan Com mis inners : Audited Drafts Funded $795,351 68 . Promis , arf Notes funded, previous to the Ist of July.lB4o,in Ten per Cent. Fund 781,379 00 Land Scrip Funded 80,348 32 Eight per cent.

The stock of the Bank was sold at New York on Saturday, to a large amount, at 9 to 10 dollars per share. T REA st, RY NOTES.—The amount of Treasury notes outstanding on the Ist inst. was 7,264,640 dols. The New York Commercial Advertiser stales, on the authority of a private letter, that the sum paid by the Belgian Government for the steamer British Queen was 70,00C1. It does not appear to what use this vessel is to be applied. FROM YucATAN.—Our dates from this new Republic are to the 3d ult. A Congress was soon to assemble under the new Constitution, who would have power to make a treaty with Mexico, and to decide whether the province should maintain her independence,_ or unite her self again with the mother-country. The election of Senators had just taken place. CASE OF MR. M'LEOD AND THE BOUNDARY LINE. (Further Particulars received by the Britannia.) M•Leod's trial will come on at the session which begins at Utica on the 27th of September. Chief Jus tice Nelson will preside at the trial. The prosecution will be conducted by the Attorney-General, and the de fence of the prisoner by Mr. Spencer. The United States Government have taken measures to prevent his maltreatment by private violence. Mr. Webster has ad dressed letters to the Sheriff and First Judge of the county in which the prisoner is confined, informing them that he had received intimation from parties entitled to belief, that an attempt would be made to execute upon McLeod the summary process of Lynch-law, and direct ing them to be on their guard to defeat any enterprise of the kind. The authorities, upon receipt of this in formation, immediately organised a patrol, which is con tinually on the watch. The Governor of the State also appears to have taken the affair into his hands. He or dered out the military companies of Utica, who consti tute the night guard, and a body of one hundred men are furnished with arms and ammunition, and are ready to turn out at a moment's notice in case of alarm. The subject has been again debated in Congress, and certainly in, a better spirit than on former occasions. Mr. Floyd's resolution, submitted some time since, has been brought forward for discussion. Mr. Barnard, of New York, took occasion to express his views on the merits of the case. He commented with great severity upon the weakness indicated by visiting on a subject the consequences of the acts performed in obedience to the command of his Sovereign, and cited from Mr. Stevenson's despatch to Lord Pal merston, on the 22d of May, 1838, as evidence of the nationality of the transaction. It was then and there charged by the AmCrican Minister as "an invasion of the territory and sovereignty of an independent nation, by the armed forces of tifriendly power.' Mr. Barnard gave Mr. Justice Cowan a severe reprimand, for having taken occlsion to deliver from the Bench an extra judi cial opinion, which he justly considered as a most grievous fault, and as forestalling public opinion in the very neighbourhood in which the prisoner was to be tried by an attempt to controvert the very positions on which his defence rests. _ _ _ Mr. Ex-President Adams stated that he was opposed to multiplying issues with Great Britain. We had one issue with that country (he was understood to refer to the boundary question) where we were clearly in the right and she was clearly in the wrong ; and, if we must fight, we had better fight about such a question than about one where we were in the wrong ; for he desired to declare, in the face of the country and the world, his opinion, that, in regard to the affair of the Caroline, a due consideration of all the circumstances might lead to the conclusion that we were in the wrong. The question was, and always would be, who struck the first blow ? The British, it is true, burnt the boat and killed a man. But the ques tion is, what was the boat about, and what was the man doing in the boat ? The boat was engaged in hostile acts against Great Britain, it was employed in transport ing men and arms to Navy Island, in aid of an insurrec tion against the British authorities in Upper Canada. We might go to war on this matter ; and, after the blood and treasure of the nation had been expended in support of it, we should have a peace. And what then ? The question would still be, who struck the first blow ? And were we sure we could find among all the Chris tian nations an umpire who would not say that we had been all the while in the wrong Mr. AdaLns then spoke of another issue which had been attempted to be made—viz., in relation to the casepar vtiecrueldarbyJudge e oflliL m e v o a d n . , He spoke of the opinion deli of the New York Court, in this case, and de c l are d hi s dissent from that opinion in strong terms,lis and i he e rt a y friends ullde from d to theom Nev sentiments NYorkon that expre a s t sedby some of floor, t'.) the same purport and effect as that opinion, with em phatic disappr o b at i on. New York had been called the •'Empire" Stat e , b ut h e said Delaware is as much an " empire State as New York ; and he regarded it as both wrong and dan gerous , when personswere heard to declare on that floor, and i n t h e other end of the capitol, that New York would try M'Leod, and, if found guilty, would hang him ; and all because New York was the "Etnpire " State ! Nobody had pro posed to interfere with New York, or the Courts of New York ; but, by some process, l'..‘Leod ought to be re leased, and the President had done no more than his duty in sending the Attorney-General into New York on this subject. There was not an enlightened nation on earth that would not decide against this idea of holding indi• viduals responsible in a case like this. And the manage ment of the whole case belonged to this Government ; for it was a national matter, anal, if a war grew out of it, it was not New York that was to maintain war, but the blood and treasure of the whole nation Must maintain it. There is no confirmation of the reports relative to any collision between the parties engaged in the boundary surveys. Mr. Adams's speech seems to show the opinion generally entertained on the subject of the north-eastern boundary question. The matter has not been made the subject of Congres sional action. The Bangor Whig of a late date states that the United States troops have started to occupy the posts at the Aroostook and Fish River. The first detach ment are said to be provided with all the necessary im plements for clearing the roads and erecting suitable mi litary quarters and barracks. The same paper expresses a hope that as the 'United States will soon be upon the territory, there will be no " backing out" until the mat ter is settled. Accounts of the Maine election render it almost certain that the democratic candidate THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1:441. for Governor would be elected. This same Fairfi:ld was Governor when the last serious difficulties occurred. His return to power does not augur well for popular measures, but we must hope that the actions of the • single State will be controlled by the Government at Washington. M'Leod is, at this time, forty-two years of age—a Scotchman by birth ; a thick set, broad-shouldered, full•chested man, about five feet eight or nine inches high, withrather light hair, blue eyes, full face, and low forehead. He is, what may be of more interest to some of your readers, likewise a bachelor. If this outline of the gentleman should convey to you no favourable im pression, you would be mistaken. His address is un usually prepossessing ; he is extremely frank and social in his manners, and withal uncommonly intelligent. In early life he received quite a good education, learn ing Latin and Greek; and subsequently travelled as an amanuensis to Major Russell of the Engineers, a near relative, if not a son of the nobleman of that name, who was murdered by his valet in London, a year or so since. More reccnoy, he travelled in France, and in 1830, first touched his foot on our free soil. During most of the time he has spent in this country, he has acted as Deputy Sheriff in the Niagara district of Upper Canada. You will remember that he was first arraigned for his agency in the burning of the Caroline, under the name of " Angus 11 1 Leod," a younger brother of his. He was released on account of this informality, but was subsequently indicted and arrested under his own proper name, Alexander M'Leod. The examination upon his arrest, took place at Lewiston, and continued five days, upon which he was committed to gaol at Lockport, with a guard around his gaol during the entire period of his confinement there, six months. The last spring he was taken : to New York on a habeas corpus, where application for his discharge was made by his coun sel, Joshua A. Spencer ; and at the late July term was brought to Utica to hear the decision on this ap plication. It being denied, he was placed in the cus tody of the Sheriff of this county, and confined in the gaol in this place. Here he has since remained, so lacing himself with books, conversation, and his own thoughts, the latter of which you may well imagine, under the circumstances, are not the most agreeable. He has excited no small curiosity among the farmers in our neighbourhood, a large number of whom have visited him, and have generally t left him with the most favour able impressions of his disposition. INl‘Leod is free in his communications on the matter in which he is in volved, answering all questions, and supplying the minutest details as to his conduct during the patriot . war, and steadfastly denying any connection with the memor able outrage on the rights and honour of our country, with which, he stands charged. As to the probability of an attack, you can judge, with your knowledge of the feeling at the West, as correctly as myself. There is, at least, foundation enough to warrant all the precau tions that have been adopted. Whether M'Leod has more to dread from open assault than private assassina ion, is a question. He is more apprehensive of the latter than the former. DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—Between four and five o'clock this morning a fire broke out in the large five-story brick double store, at the south-east corner of Cedar- street and Broadway. The whole interior of the build ing, down to the second story, was destroyed, the bare walls only standing. The occupants of the premises were Henry S. Tanner, circulating library and map store, stock damaged by water ; Jas. H. Cooke, furni ture warehouse, stock saved in a damaged state ; D. Tucker, tailor, stock saved with the exception of about 100 dollars' worth of cloths, which were stolen ; Sher man and Smith, engravers and printers ; W. E. Peck ham, wood engraver ; Miller, Dill, and Davidson, attor nies ; Allen M. Sherman, ditto ; and C. C. Marsh, ditto. —New York Paper, &pt. 17. LATE AND INTERESTING FROM FLORIDA. Advices of a highly interesting cloracter were re ceived at the Department of War on Saturday last, from. Colonel Worth, commanding the Florida army, to the 31st ultimo, inclusive. The Colonel announces the surrender of the remnant of Coacoochie's people, the seizure of the Chief Hospitaka, with fifteen of his chiefs and warriors, and the promised surrender of all his people, amounting to 320 more, on the 11th of this month, the day of the arrival of the despatch at gene ral head-quarters. Reports are also transmitted of the recent expedition in the Everglades, conducted by Cap tain Burke, 3d Artillery, and Lieutenant Rogers, of the Navy, and of a successful operation, under Lieu tenant Anderson, 2d Infantry, in which he captured several Indians ; an abstract of which reports will be given hereafter. The Colonel gives assurances that there are not more than ten Indians on the east side of the St. John's river; that the Everglades are abandoned by them as no longer a safe retreat ; that the Creeks and Tallahassees in the northern part of the territory were to meet him on the 7th inst.; and that the scattered families on the Wacassa had been so much disturbed by Captains Hoffman and Alexander as to induce earnest promises of speedy sub mission ; and, generally, he reports that the Indians, on all hands, exhibit unequivocal evidences of a desire to end the struggle. It is most gratifying to learn that, with all their privations, exposure, and unusual activity, the troops are generally healthy. It would appear that our gallant little army, having in the gallant Worth a leader of the right spirit, have been able to show their entire efficiency.—American Paper. WEST INDIES.

By the arrival of the Jane, at Kingston, Jamaica, from Carthagena, .we are informed that the rebel General Cormona still besieged that place. The Jane reports, that on reaching her destination she made for a small harbour in the vicinity, named San Domingo, where she landed her cargo without any obstruction ; but that the Little William, which followed her from this port. made direct for Boca Chica, where she was laid hold of by Carmona's gun-boats. Fortunately, however, her Majesty's schooner Pickle was in sight, and went up to her relief. Carmona made zome how of resistance, but did not venture an attaek, and the Pickle bore her off in safety. On Sunday night, when the Jane left, the Su san, another venture from this port, was also going in to San Domingo, all well. Desertions were still taking place at Carthagena, and no faith or dependence was to be placed in either party. The Government squadron had returned, as was ex pected, with another vessel—the Santander, which they fell in with at Zapote, taking in cocoa nuts on account of a Mr. Gregg ; and being under Colombian colours, they had pressed her into the service. A French vessel of war had arrived from Santa Mar tha on the 12th. Hormichea had retired in disgust, and gone to Rio le Hacha; Collaros still remained in (keno; Hernandez in the Savannahs, and Obando in Papayan with 600 men, hemmed in by Flores on one side, and Mosquera on the other. The sloop Jane Ann, Capt. Durant, sailed from Ja • malice on Aug. 24, for Carthagena, conveying important despatches (received by the schooner Veloz) from the Constitutional Governor of Rio Hacha, to him of Car thagena, and also a small cargo of tobacco, rice, and corn' for the use of the garrison. Another larger vessel will, we believe, sail within a few days, with an additional supply of provisions fur the troops in Carthagena. The brigantine Jane, Capt. Robinson, likewise sailed on the next day for Rio Hacha, having on board the few hun dred stands of arms required by the Governor for the accoutrement of his forces. The accounts from Texas, by these papers, state that three Commissioners had arrived in San Antonio, from Mexico, for the purpose of proposing a sus . peuaion of hostilities between the two countries, and opening a direct trade between the Texan and Mexican provinces. This, it is considered, is all that is wanting to impel the young Republic to the utmost state of prosperity with unparal leled rapidity. President Lamar hal arrived at Galveston. It was generally understood that the object of his visit was to despatch Coin. Moore, with two armed vessels, to the coast of Mexico, to co-operate with the Yucatanese and Federalists against Vera Cruz, in consequence of the indignity lately offered Judge Vebb, as minister. A large portion of the citizens of Vera Cruz, it is said, are friendly to the cause of the Federalists, and it is be lieved the province.. could be revolutionised with little difficulty. TURKEY. (From the Augsburg Gazette.) Tahir Pacha menaces considerable changes when he gets back to Constantinople. He is to be Grand Vizier himself, Halil Seraskier, whilst Reschid is to be restored to the post of Reis Effendi; Rizi to remain Mushir of the Palace. This is unlik e ly ; but still Reschid regains lost ground. He endeavours to win the priests and the popu lar voice to him. The circumcision of his sons was cele brated with unusual splendour. and the richest presents made to the Imaums. His salons at the feast thronged with white -turbaned ulemas. Reschid's carriage is now fre quently seen at the gate of the Syhiek-el-Islam ar.d the Kairaskere. But all these caresses may not succeed to bend the High-priest's party. The old system is likely to triumph. For example, Hiffi Mustapha Pacha was named military and civil governor of the island of Mi tylene, thus uniting military and financial authority against the provisions of Gulhane. The pilgrim caravan. for Mecca has set off; the Porte having given five mil lions of piastres for the expenses. "The Emperor Minh Menh, of Cochin China, is dead. (Bradley) I HEARNE V. STOWELL.—This case of libel, which has attracted so much attention in the Roman Catholic world, has been postponed, for further considera tion, till next November.

The cabman was thrown headlong to a consi derable distance, and was conveyed in a senseless state to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. The near horse of the omnibus was killed upon tile spot, while the cab-horse was so injured as to be for ever rendered unserviceable. It is impossible to say with whom the blame rests. ( From the London New Price Current of October 1.) SUGAR.—There has been an increased desire evinced on the part of both grocers and refiners to purchase British Plantation Sugar this week ; for bright yellow and strong grey qua lities the demand has been brisk, and nearly all the parcels on show have found ready purchasers at prices Is., and in some cases Is. 6d., above those of last Friday; indeed the supply is not ample for the wants of the trade. Low and brown kinds have met with more attention ; a good demand has prevailed, and the rates paid are generally equal to those of this day week To-day there was less life in the West India market, still purchases to a fair extent were made for both grocery and re fining purposes ; holders were firm, and former rates were fully supported ; good and fine yellow sorts are, however, still wanted, but of such few samples were on show.

The highest quotation of white wheat at Paris on Saturday last was 35f. for the 11 hectolitre, which . equals 535. sd. per quarter. The highest quotation at Mark-lane on Monday was 80s. per quarter : wheat, therefore, is 49 2-3ds per cent. dearer in London than in Paris; or a man can buy in London only one bushel of wheat for ten shillings, while in Paris he can buy a bushel and a half for the same money, The highest quotation at Hamburgh, on the 23d instant, for the best Polish wheat, was 158 rix-dollars the last, which corresponds with 48s. 6d. the quarter; wheat, therefore, is 64 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh, and a man in London can buy for 1/. only two bushels of wheat, whereas, in Hamburgh, he can buy about 3 1-3 d bushels for the same money. Cured India beef of the first quality may be bought at Hamburgh for 5.1. 15s. the tierce of 3361b5; for the same quality 8/. is charged in London. The best cured beef is, therefore, 39 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh, and a merchant victualling a ship in Ham burgh may buy 5,8431b5. of the finest cured beef for 1061. whereas in London he can only buy 4,2001b5. for the same money. Mess beef, a secondary quality, hnt much more generally used for victualling ships, costs 41. 7s. 6d. the tierce in Hamburgh, and 61. 7s. 6d. in London. India pork costs 51. Gs. the tierce in Hamburgh, and 71. 17s. 6d. in London. Mess pork costs 21. Bs. the barrel in Hamburgh, and 41. ss. in London. The fixed importation duty on cured meat is 12s. per cwt. The best fresh beef is retailed in Hamburgh at 41d. per pound. in London at 9d. The best fresh mutton is retailed in Hamburgh at 4d., and in London at Bd., but it must not be forgotten that the mutton is of an in ferior quality in Hamburgh, which is not the case with beef. The best fresh pork is retailed in Hamburgh at 41d. a pound, and in London at 9d. The importation of fresh meat into England is totally prohibited. In New York the prices of fresh meat, though in ge neral somewhat higher than in Hamburgh. are consider ably lower than in London. The best beef at New York costs 12 cents. or 6d. per pound, and the best mutton sd. Perk is retailel in New York at 6 cents. or 3d. per pound, which is less than is charged for it either in Lon don or in Hamburgh. An ox in London, fit for making into Ind ia beef, and weighing about 7001bs. without the offal: will cost about 251.; the same description of ox, fatteil.,d in Holstein, and about 14 in spring. The people of England, would cost in Hamburgh about 121. in :::ltu.mn' I. 2wever, can derive no advantage from the comparative cheapness _ nf cattle in Hamburgh ; for let the price in England be ever so high, the importation of live stock is, at all times and under all circumstances, positively prohibited. t lio: ,o s ul o a f aff p o o r u d nds l , o a o n r d e s r o c ld en a t t l o i n d. c p a e p r it p a o l un in d, ve Salt meat from ruenos Ayres might be imported in millions a ste p d ric in e such trade. FRENCH DYNASTIES AND SIN GULAIt COINCIDENCE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin—There are sometimes strange connexions be tween the political revolutions and the results of a ma thematical operation ; so strange, indeed, that because twice has the result given something like a sanction to them, one dreads again these awful times which convulse and desolate mankind. Ido not at all believe that our Constitution, or our Government, are subject to any mathematical influence, but when I see the inces sant revolutionary troubles in France adduce a third in stance of their connexion, when a powerful fatality seems to proclaim as a truth the nothingness of a chi mera, I beg to communicate to you the prophetic cal culations of a friend of mine, who, in 1829, foresaw the fall of the late Charles the Tenth. The point de depart is in 1791—fall of Robespierre. I 1794 put the figures of this num -4 ber 1794 vertically under 9 the figure 4 of the horizon -7 tal number. I make the ad -1 dition and the obtained result is 1815—fall of Na poleon 1815 If I proceed in the same 8 manner with the figures in 1 1815, the next result is 1830—fall of Charles the 1830 Tenth. 0' Once more, the last pro bality is 1842. 1842 1842 ! and France is in a convulsive state of disturb ance ! a murderer fired at the son of the King; towns and villages protest against the Census with a mighty energy ; groups of people sing under the bayonets their revolutionary hymn of 1723 and 1829. 1842 and France is in the desperate agony of a dying man ' • large and dark clouds cover its political sky ; a shocking storm is to take place. May it please God to preserve France, Ad prova that the calculations of my friend are erroneous. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, A LITERARY MAN.

The man was so squalid anal wretched in appearance, that it could not be believed he had so much money to lose. On inquiring into the circumstances, however, it was found that the weaver had received the gum of 31. from a Funeral Society in Calton to inter his deceased wife ; but in stead of appropriating the fund to its proper purpose, the mis gui(:ed man had gone to an indifferent house, where ha had lost it all.— Glasgow Herald.
