The advantages offered to the publie by the above Offices are such as result from a course of uninterrupted prosperity, the fruits of a prudent and economical management for a pe riod of thirty-five years. At the present time so many establishments exist, Tieing with each other in the profession of benefits to the public, which numerous failures, and con.equent ruin to many in dustrious families have proved to be fallacious, that the Di rectors think they will best discharge their duty to the Proprie tors and to the Public by a simple statement of the advantages which have been realised by these Offices. The COUNTY FIRE OFFICE has not only settled all claims with promptitude and liberality, but has, from its first establishment, made large Returns to the Insured.—These amount at the present time to 125.0001. The PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE has at each septen nial period divided the whole of the profits, subject to a deduc tion of about a twentieth part only, among the insured.

P. has, at great trouble and expense, constructed a PENHOLDER pos sessing four great requisites, viz., cheapness, durability, neat and elegant appearance. and flexibility. To quote here the many scientific opinions that have been given on the uses of Steel Pens, and of the great necessity of having Elastic Holders, would far exceed the limits of an advertisement. The Proprietor humbly, but with great confidence, ays before the public this little, I,ut no less effectual, promoter of comfort, to all grades of society using a Pen, knowing that his Flexible Penholder has only to be tried to be approved of. Manufactured solely by WILLIAM PENDRELL, Silver smith, 17, Regent's-place, Birmingham. lIUMAN LIFE.—At present the popular opinion is, that the natural duration of life is 70 years, but this is contrary to both sacred and profane history. This opinion is, no doubt, founded on a misunderstand'ng of a passage of the 90th Psalm, where it is indeed stated, " That the days of our years are threescore years and ten, and if, by reason of strength, they be fourscore }ears, yet is their strength labour and sorrow." Now, it must be remembered, that this Psalm is ascribed to Moses, and that he is not speaking of the lives of men in general, but of what was occurring among the Israelites in the wilderness. They died not a natural death, but were cut off for their sin and unbelief by judicial dispensations. The clever Dr. Farre maintains, that 120 is the last grant of God to man, and quotes the sixth chapter of Genesis, and the 3d verse, where it is written, " My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh ; yet his days shall be anhun dred and twenty years." Now, we find this expressed inten tion on the part of Godgradually carried into effect—the princi ple of vitality appearing to become weaker until the close of the era in which the postdiluvian patriarchs flourished ; when although several centuries had elapsed since the Deluge, we End that one hundred and twenty years was about the average of human existence. Supposing, then, that the theory of long life is well sustained, the question naturally is suggested how are we to attain what is so desirable ? A wise general, on the eve of battle, makes a proper disposition of his forces be forehand, and does not wait till the enemy has made an attack, and thus, by forethought and due preparation, reasonably ex pects a victory ;—thus, he who has a desire to attain a healthy, and, consequently, happy old age, does not indolently wait for the attack of the enemy, which is sickness, but is constantly on his guard against his insidious approaches, by paying proper attention to the state of his health. Many would fain occasionally use medicine to assist nature in her operations; but, like a mariner at sea without his compass, knowing not where to steer, they first try this, and then that, and meet with nothing but disappointment; to those, how welcome must he the important fact, that PARR'S MEDI ' CINE is all that is required, the fine tonic properties it con tains invariably restores the stomach to a healthy longing for food ; or, in other words, it produces a good appetite, so much envied, but so seldom enjoyed, by the invalid ; the gentle stimulating powers it possesses assists the stomach to properly digest the food it receives; the balsamic powers it bestows on the system produces that delightful feeling of good spirits so very desirable, and disposes both mind and body to healthy exercise ; everything under its influence soon wears a joyous aspect, and the varied duties of life are performed with pleasur e. It, in addition, contains a fine sedative quality, and, instead of long and weary nights, gives sound and refreshing sleep. If the stomach and bowels require it, it acts as the mildest and most agreeable purgative, and, by its cleansing powers, totally eradicates a redundancy of bile, and completely removes all obstructions of the intestinal (canal. r T a o t ohave and effects, produced so effectual e s ff o e ct o benign in ea and mild rc hin in g olutst ope ration curing disease of however long standing, exhibiting, on the s part of Old Parr, deep research and a thorough knowledge of his subject.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases ; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, wherein affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonisheil to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tapes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility o f a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much 1 assisted in investigating and detecting th e too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be coin ; promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any o f his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

By the arrival of the Roscius, Captain Col lins, at this port to-day, after a quick passage of less then eighteen days, from New York, we have received papers from that city to the even ing of the 27th ult. inclusive. The Roscius has 27 passengers, and has besides brought home the crew and passengers of the Erin go Bragh, from Liverpool to Quebec, which vessel she fell in with lat. 47, lon. 40, when she was in a sinking state. The vessel was laden with grain and flour. Business at New York was dull. Stocks con tinued to decline in price, particularly Illinois and Indiana. The rate of exchange 1091 to 110, but not much business doing. The political news by this arrival is not im portant. The Prince de Joinville and suite had been entertained at a ball in Boston, one of the most sumptuous affairs ever known in that city. He was also entertained by the French residents of New York at the Astor House, and on the 27th by the Corporation of that city at the City Hotel. Lord Morpeth was at New York, and was at tended by the Mayor and civic authorities in an inspection of the public institutions of the city on the 26th, and dined at Bellevue. He was to dine with the British residents on the 29th, and the Prince de Joinville had also accepted an invitation to be present. There is news from Texas to the 13th Novem ber. The President of the new Republic had communicated an address to Congress on the 3d ; it is a well written and interesting document, and gives an encouraging view of the prospects of the country. We have further accounts of the great fire at St. John's. There appears to have been thirty nine buildings of various descriptions destroyed; but the fire happening at nearly tide time, the shipping was for the most part hauled away in safety. There is no news of moment from Canada. It was reported at New York that Mr. M'Leod had been arrested at Niagara, on a capeas for defalcations in Canada. The Roscoe was seen off New York, by the Roscius, on the 27th. (From the New York Herald.) IMPORTANT FROM MISSISSIPPI.—REPUDIA TION OF THE STATE BONDS. We have received intelligence from Mississippi, by the way of New Orleans, which rendered it almost certain that the anti-bond ticket had succeeded by a large ma jority. Our correspondent states that returns have been received from about one-third of Mississippi, and that the anti-bond ticket was upwards of 6,000 votes ahead. He adds that the majority was estimated at 15,000, and that in several counties the vote was unanimously against pay ing the State bonds. There may be some exaggeration in this, but we presume there can be no doubt of the complete success of the Radical party. This is the first election that has ever been decided exclusively on this ground. In Michigan it was made a question to some extent, and the large democratic majority was swelled immensely by the determi nation of the people to get rid of their burdens in this most summary manner ; but it was not made the paramount consideration, as in Mississippi. Looking at the result, as an example for the imitation of other States that are ground down by debts which they cannot pay, we regard this election as the most important one that has ever taken place since the foundation of the Government. Hereafter we may expect that Maryland, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and others of the most deeply in debted States, will pursue the course adopted by Mis sissippi, and refuse by a formal vote of the people, to ' pay their liabilities. What is to be the consequence ? It will bring up a remarkable state of things, and overthrow at once the entire system of State credit. The whole difficulty has grown out of the various abuses of the credit system by banks and other corporations, by States, and by indivi duals. The sufferers by the excesses and mismanage ment, and frauds of the banks are individuals. This evil is sufficiently wide-spread and deplorable, but the bankruptcy of the States involves more serious conse quences still. The aggregate debts of the States is two hundred millions of dollars. The money was borrowed prin cipally in Europe, on the faith of the several St a t es . If the example of Mississippi is followed to the extent which now seems probable, the loss to the creditors can not be less than one hundred millions, and may reach one hundred and fifty. Will the British Government permit the citizens to be swindled out of the immense sums loaned to the States without remonstrance, and perhaps interference ? If the States refuse, or are un able to pay, there is no way for John Bull to get his money, but it will bring great reproach upon this country on the other side of the Atlantic. It is probable that an effort will be made at the en suing session of Congress to get the general Govern ment to assume these debts, or at least, to adopt some measure that shall have the appearance of giving them its sanction, but there is no prospect of its being successful. Much was anticipated from the distri bution bill, but it has failed entirely. No effect what ever has been produced by the prospect of its operation, and the sentiment was becoming general, even before the Mississippi election, that a large number of the States were inextricably involved. The general Govern ment cannot relieve them without injustice to those States which have managed their affairs with prudence, and such of the States as follow the example of Mississippi, and determine to refuse payment, would even scruple to contribute their quota, in the event of the assumption. It is idle to close our eyes to the true state of the case. Many of the States will not and cannot pay their liabili ties, and we must make our mind up to bear the odium as a nation. It is not to be avoided. RECEPTION OF THE FRENCH PRINCE AT BOSTON. His Royal Highness the Prince de Joinville, was re ceived by the citizens of Boston in a style never before equalled by them. The Mayor of the city on being in troduced to his Highness, addressed him as follows: " I have the honour to present myself to you, in the name of the city of Boston, and in its behalf, to welcome you here. We welcome you, Sir, as the representative of your country. America delights, in the strength of her manhood, to remember and acknowledge her deep obligation to France, in the days of her infancy and weakness. And with the events which made the aid of our country so opportune, this city, as you know, had no mean connection; and nowhere will you find the feeling of gratitude stronger than here. We welcome you also, Sir, as the son of that great and good man, the present King of France. We recognize in him the blended virtues of the sovereign and the republican— the distinguished ruler of his own kingdom, and the friend always of America and Americans. And we are most happy, through you, to pay a tribute of respect to him. And we welcome you personally, Sir, and tender to you the freest and heartiest hospitalities of the city. And permit me to express my hope that your visit may be one of present enjoyment and pleasant recollection ; and that it may tend to cement, in even greater amity, our two nations." The Prince made the following neat and brief reply:— " I am highly gratified by the attention which has been paid to me by the city of Boston, and for the senti ments which have been expressed toward my country, my father and myself ; and shall take great pleasure in communicating to my father the kind feelings which have been evinced towards me in this country, and shall ever recollect my visit with high satisfaction." The ball which was given to him, was attended by fif teen hundred of the beauty and fashion of the city. DESTRUCTIVE FIRES. THE FIRE AT ST. JOIIIq.—The Observer of Tuesday last gives the details of the great fire at St. John, from which it appears, that in addition to the new market house, lately erected at an expense to the city of 40,000 dollars, the following buildings were destroyed, viz.— Seventeen in South Market-street, eight in Ward- street, eight in 'Water-street, three in Market-square, and three in Prince William-street—making a total of thirty-nine buildings, nearly all of which were large, and of three or four stories each. Many bonded warehouses were also much injured. No mention is made of vessels burnt ;it was high water at the time, and they may have hauled off into the stream. The aggregate loss is estimated at not less than 400,000 dolls. The Observer says that a large poi , . don of those persons now deprived of their places of busi ness were burnt out in former fires—Messrs. M'Avity, D. M`Millan, and C. M`Lauchlan, have been three times subjected to this trial. The whole of the present district was within the district laid waste in January, 1837. , Many of the sufferers lost their entire stock of goods. Several of them have been but a few months in business. 'The Insurance Companies have of late decidedly refused taking risks on wooden buildings in the district now de stroyed, except at very high premiums ; consequently nearly all the parties were without insurance. The offices of the New Brunswicher and British American, Mr. Shives, and the proposed new paper (the Mirror), were destroyed ; though they all saved the chief part'of their materials, except the British American, whichwhichwere wholly consumed. F IRE AT PROVIDENCE.—SVe have rarely recorded in one edition a greater number of fires than come upon us from all quarters this morning. On Sunday Hotel in Providence was nearly dest ro ed. Th the City e Journal says :—" The fire was discovered in the room of one of the boarders, and in a few .minutes the flames burst out with violence in several Too south part of the building barely esceapebodardwerthintheier clothes, &c. Amongst those who saved scarcely AU' PRICE 5d thing were several ladies. The furniture was mostly saved, but injured by removal. The south part of the building, which was of wood, was entirely destroyed ; the centre of brick, was badly injured, particularly at the south end ; the north part of the building on Broad street, received no injury. The fire is supposed to have originated from a defect of the chimney. The firemen were promptly on the spot, but there was at first a diffi culty in procuring water ; a supply was obtained from the steam factory. The fire was got under in about an hour, but was not extinguished until after 11 o'clock. It is difficult to estimate the loss, but it will not probably come up to the insurance, which was /10,000 on the building at the Mutual office—s3,ooo o n th e f urn i ture at the American, and $2OO on the furniture at the lEtna." On the day before (Saturday) the four storey brick building, owned by Joseph R. Angell, and occupied by B. Almy and G. W. Tyler, in Canal-street, Providence, took fire, and was much injured before the flames were got under. Mr. Almy's loss is four or five thousand dollars, and he was not insured. Tyler's loss was not more than $5OO, fully covered by insurance. The wool-carding and cloth-dressing establishment of Mr. Beech, near Clymer village, in Chautacqe county, was consumed on the night of the sth instant, with about 4,000 yards of cloth, and a considerable quantity of wool, belonging principally to the n e i g hb our i ng i n h a bi tants . Total about s4,ooo.—Albany Argus. FIRE IN CHARLESTOWN —A destructive fire broke out in Charlestown, about half-past three o'clock on Sa turday morning, in a large building situated in Franklin place, near the Methodist meeting-house, owned by Mr. George Emerson, of Malden, of the firm of Loyd, Packer and Co., of this city, by whom it was partially occupied as a morocco manufactory. The building was insured at Concord by the Middlesex Mutual Insurance Co., to the amount of 1,500 dols., but upon the stock, &c., owned by Messrs. Packer and Co., there was no in surance--loss probably not exceeding 1,000 dols. A portion of the building was occupied by Mr. Moses B. Sewall, in the manufacture of morocco, whose tools, stock, machinery, &c., were almost entirely destroyed— insured, 1,000 dols. The building arid contents were of a highly combus tible character, and the flames soon communicated to a black of four dwelling houses adjoining, fronting on Bartlett-street, owned by Phineas J. Stone, of Charles town, and occupied by a numb er o f I r i s h f am ili es. Th ree of these tenements were entirely destroyed, and the oc cupants have lost their all, and were turned out of their houses in the night, to encounter the pitiless storm. Mr. Stone was insured 1,500 dol. A block of two tenements, nearly adjoining the factory, owned by Mr. Emerson, were on fire several times, and were only saved from total destruction by the great exer tions of the firemen. The loss on these, it is supposed, will not exceed 200 or 300 dol., and is insured. Several of the Fire Companies of this city promptly repaired to the scene of destruction, and rendered very valuable assistance.—llierc. Journal. Some advices mention seventy-five buildings were de stroyed.--Boston Merc. Journal. ARREST OF MURDERERS.—The Charleston papers received here yesterday, mention that a man named Jones, a hand on board the ship Troy, had been found dead in the street near the Exchange, his death having been caused by a stab from a knife, and that a man named Barnett had been arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the murder. Finding the evidence before the Coroner's jury bearing very hard against him, he confessed his participation in the crime, and implicated three other men, named James Eldridge, Eugene Agar, and Thomas Richardson, but his information came too late to be used there, as it was ascertained that these men had left the city. On Sunday the Mayorof this city received a letter from the Coroner of Charleston, stating that he had reason to believe that Eldridge was on board the brig Ashley, then on her way to New York, and that the others, Agar and Richardson, were on board the ship H. Allen, also bound hither. This letter the Mayor sent to Justice Matsell, and that gentleman immediately set officers Sweet, Tappan, Lownsbury, Stokely, and others, on the look-out for the arrival of those vessels. On Monday evening the Ashley came up, when she was boarded, and Eldridge, who had shipped as one of the crew, was arrested and conveyed to the tombs. Yester day morning the H. Allen came up, and on boarding her, Agar and Richardson were found and also secured. The whole three are now in prison, awaiting the requisition of the Governor of South Carolina. PRICE OF PORK IN CHILLICOTHE.—The Chillicothe Advertiser of the 12th says, " A few engagements have been made by the packers of this place for heavy pork, at $2 per 100Ibs. net, and we understand they are un willing to make any large contracts at present, even at that price. It is most probable that the farmers will put up their own pork to a considerable extent during the present season." The greatest curiosity in the world is now exhibiting in this town, in the person of James Washburn, the wonderful Dwarf, decidedly the smallest man in creation! He is in his 17th year, weighs but 231bs. and is only 36 inches in height. He is in good health, has fine spark ling eyes, is active, intelligent, in short a perfect man in miniature. He is said to have been born in Vermont, and ceased growing at an early period without any assign able cause.—Mass. Spy. HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.-An awful accident happened at Munroe on the 11th instant. Our very worthy fellow citizen Mr. Cady, came to his death in the most shocking and sudden manner. After the cars had arrived at Adrian, in running the engine back over the west switch, she ran off; in consequence of a defect in the switch, made worse by the heavy rains. In getting the engine back on the track, Mr. Cady placed himself with a lever under the driving wheels, so as to force them on the track, when she started. Stand ing himself between the lever and the engine, so that the first motion of the engine brought the lever round with such force as to knock him directly under the driving wheels, one of which ran over his body, one leg and arm, crushing and mutilating him in the most shocking manner. Ile survived about two hours, with a full consciousness of his situation.—Detroit Advertiser. IMPORTANT FROM FLORIDA.—We learn from a pas senger in the Stephen and Francis, from St. Augustine, that information had been received at that place of a skirmish having taken place between a portion of the United States troops, under command of Captain Wade, and a party of Indians, during which 8 of the Indians were killed, and 55 captured, a portion of which were women and children.—Charleston Patriot, Nov. 20. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.—Orders have been received at the Navy-yard, Brooklyn, to prepare the sloop of war Falmouth for sea. She is to be one of the home squadron, and will be commanded by Captain M`lntosh. Nearly all her officers, we understand, have been ordered to her. The frigate United States, bearing the broad pennant of Commodore T. A. C. Jones, dropped down from Nor folk on the 19th, preparatory for sea. The frigate Po tomac, Captain Storer, sloop of war Marion, Captain Belt, and schooner Enterprise, Lieut.-Com. G oldburgh, were at Rio on the Bth ult. SMALL Pox AT THE SANDWICH IsLANDs.—Captain Brown, of the whaling ship Charles Frederick, arrived at this port yesterday, reports that the small-pox was raging violently at Otaheite on the last July, so much so that he could not obtain a reinforcement to the number of his crew. _ THE FIRE AT ST. JOHN'S, N.B.—The report that forty vessels, including five square rigged ones, had been burnt in the recent conflagration at St. John's, was incorrect. A few wood boats and other small craft were somewhat injured, but the tide being up, they were hauled out. IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS. We have letters from Houston and Galveston up to the 13th inst. Congress commenced its Session on the Ist, and the Message of President Lamar was communicated on the 3d. It is written with much force and elegance and contains a greal deal of importont matter for the Texans. He commences by congratulating the country upon its prosperity—the great influx of immigrants—the rapid spread of the settlements—the abundance which crowned the labours of agriculture, and the repose and peace en joyed from the apprehended molestations of enemies, whether Indians or Mexicans. The wisdom, modera tion, and sagacity evinced by the Texans in exercising the all-important and difficult functions of self-govern ment, entrusted to them by the interposition of a be nignant Providence, is also a subject not unworthy of special comment in a Presidential Message.

The commercial convention treaty with is not completed, b ecause of some difficulty about a clause in the instrument respecting the suppression of the slave-trade with the United States. No definite treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation has yet been concluded ; for what cause it is difficult to conjecture, unless it be the idea that an early annexation would dis pense with all such diplomatic arrang eme nts. A large space in th e M essage is occupied by suggestions and remarks relative to the expedition to Santa Fe, and the naval ar rangements with the republic of Yucatan. There are L various oth er t op i cs t ouc h e d upon in the documente 'm, but . - at 3 th are chiefly of a l o c a l interest.

An alarm which pre vailed at Austin is thus described by the correspondent of a Galveston paper:— t i ated that the Congress " It was confidently an ic p would commence its session tender the most favourable b • • b t l I d immediately to usiness , u o . auspices, and proceed become quietly immersed in sleep, hardly had the city rrived from the Brushy, bearing the when a messenfiere 1 g a nce that a large army of Caman alarming ii) r te so4s strong, had been discovered near that cbees, 400 and "as moving directly upon Austin.

MORNING SUN. street of the city, where most of the women and chil i dren had collected, in the strong houses lining that street. The artillery was placed under Colonel Ward, so as to sweep the streets completely. Things being thus arranged, a spy company, under the command of Colonel Jones, were despatched to Brushy, and in the meantime all waited in anxious suspense for the foe. Morning came, however, and found the citizens shiver ing in the cold air, and weary with fatigue, but no traces of an enemy. About eight o'clock, A.M., Colonel Jones and his party returned with the intelligence that he could find no trail of Indians ; the alarm was at once quieted, and the citizens returned to their homes again, contented and cheerful. In the afternoon, how ever, another messenger arrived with intelligence that the Indians were assembled on Little River, but it was not known whether they came with hostile intentions, or merely in pursuit of the buffalo. The alarm was renewed again, but to a less extent. The Members of Congress from the eastern sections were not a little annoyed by this event, and their dissatisfaction with the present loca tion of the seat of Government is expressed in no mea sured terms." Added to this is the fact of the official avowal of Santa Anna of his hostility to the young republic. In a mani festo addressed to the Mexicans, after speaking of the internal dissentions of Mexico, and commenting upon the authority to enforce the loans, he inquires, " what is to become of a country that cannot maintain a small squa dron to prevent the pitiful Texans from coming to hoist their banners in front of those of the republic—that can not render that succour which she ought to other de partments threatened by a few detestable adventurers, who, not content with the possession of the whote de partment of Texas, are now trying to extend their in famous conquest even to Mexico, Chihuahua, and Cali fornia—that has no revenue—that depends upon borrow ing, without credit at home or abroad ?" The inference to be drawn from this is, that Santa Anna will not regard his personal engagements with Houston, and that nothing but the want of power will prevent him from commencing hostilities against Texas. COMMERCIAL NEWS. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, Nov 26. . _ The sales at the Stock Board to-day were to a fair extent, and prices generally gave way. Stonington per cent. ; Delaware and Hudson ; Harlem rose ; Long Island Sales of the Bank of America 86, and more offered at 80, a fall of 12 per cent. This institution is feeling the effects of its former connection with the general government. The heavy amount of deposites made with it after the removal of the deposites, forced it in a measure to expand extravagantly, and when the deposites were withdrawn, it took the active means, lending vast loans, mostly to dry goods houses whose business was " extra hazardous." The progress of events is now eating out its vitals. The Bank of Commerce is also heavy at a discount of 10 per cent. The connection of this institution with the Federal and State Governments, foreign stock and cotton houses, and such bubbles as the Erie Railroad, are fully sufficient to swamp a capital of far- greater amount than has ever been possessed by this concern. It is lite rally stuffed with stocks, which description of property will be rudely handled by the tornado now passing over the financial world. The Erie Railroad, it is well known, was entitled to receive frem the State its credit to the extent of $2 for one expended by the Company, up to 3,000,000, providing that the stock so received from the 'tate should be sold at public auction at not under par. This amount has been nearly all procured, although the Company have not actually expended any money. A contract for it will be entered into, and when complete the contractors receive from the State orders on the office in New York, payable in 60 or 90 days. They then represent these orders to the State authorities as money paid out, and in consequence receive double the amount in State stock, which is then offered at auc tion, bought in by the parties, and hypothecated with the Bank of Commerce at 80 cents. on the dollar. The proceeds are then applied to the payment of the orders, which are sold in the market by the original holders at 3 to 4 per cent. per month discount ; and who of course charge a sufficiently high price for the work to cover the loss. In this expensive way is the State building the road for the benefit of private individuals, through the instrumentality of the Bank of Commerce. Sales of Illinois Stocks were made at a fall of ith per cent.; Indiana # per cent. The fall of these stocks has been hastened by the fact that over $250,000 were re ceived by the last packet from London, by-a certain well known house, with peremptory orders to sell them for what they will bring, and remit the amount in specie to London, which has been done. The late Mississippi news will no doubt produce disastrous results in Eng land, particularly among the large stockjobbing and cotton houses that have heretofore imagined that the well-being of the universe depended upon them alone. All the commercial letters received by the last packet alluded to the current rumours in London respecting the tottering condition of " Merchant Princes" connected with America. The three W.'s sank under a similar crisis, and their explosion was echoed from the vaults of the late National Bank, when 135,000,000 were blown to the winds. Already from London are heard the pre monitory rumblings that indicate an approaching ex plosion that will shake the paper system of Great Bri tain to its centre. The instinctive fore-knowledge of dealers is already seen in the fact that the bills of cer tain London agents here, drawn on their principals, are selling at per cent. less than other private bills, when one year since they commanded per cent. higher rates. The fact is, that the baseless fabric of paper property is about to " vanish into thin air," and yet the struggling houses have the absurdity to say that telling the truth is the cause of the disasters. All the representations that can ever be made, would never annihilate 100 acres of land, or take from a bushel of wheat its intrinsic value. At the same time, it will be very difficult to make the public believe that the United States Bank is worth par, although it may have cost that. The large London houses hold American stocks to the amount, at least, of $150,000,000: of this an average of 50 per cent will be lust. They have also bought $40,000,000 of cotton, on which they will sustain a loss of 25 per cent. One house is said to hold 130,000 bales, on which a loss of $l5 has been sustained, making near $2,000,000. These may be summed up as follows : Loss on $150,000,000 of stock 575,000,000 „ „ 40,000,000 in cotton 10,000,000 $85,000,000 This is an immense sum to be swept from the pockets of a few houses, and may well make even " Merchant Princes" stagger under the blow, and prompt their friends to refuse the endorsements applied for. The bills of the Bank of Buffalo, and the Commercial Bank of Buffalo, that have been selling at 5 per cent. discount, are to-day offered freely at 12 per cent. dis count, in consequence of the probability of their not being paid. The notice of the Comptroller on this sub ject will be found annexed to this article. The bills of the Commercial Bank of Oswego, and the Clinton County Bank, are not bought by the brokers to-day. The following extract of a letter notices a decision of a most favourable character for the Trustees under tho assignment for amounts due by the United States' Bank to the city Banks. The property held by these Trustees in Ohio is estimated at $1,000,000. Extract of a letter, dated Cincinnati, Nov. 19 : " Judge Este, of the Superior Cou rt of Cincinnati, h as decided in the case of the Bank o f the United States, for the use of J. Dundas et al vs. Bowler and Shoenberger, that the tender of the United States Bank Notes was not a legal payment of the debt unde r question is fully decided in fav our of the titl e o f t h e the law of Ohi o . Th e Trustees under the assignment. The case was on hand some time, and was fully and carefully examined by Counsel and by the Court." In domestic bills there has been but little change during the week. Although the Stock and Paper Money world presents such a disastrous state of affairs, yet the commerce and real trade of the country was never in a more prosperous condition than at this moment. The increased trade is thep e rse canalde the necess ity revenues filling the coffers of the State an d F ederal Governments with legitimate means ; if th ey are judiciously appl i e d theit will o seen in ffu s rt ta h t e e r vv lo h a ich loans. th T is h y is ea i r s reach the enormous sum of ,U,000,000, giving indica tions of those vast quantities of that find their produce way to the Atl ant i c ports, and thence to foreign markets. The returns of those goods, in the shape of imported goods, are thi s year much greater than in 1840, and as the amount of indebtednes s paid has greatly decreased, the imports show an excess over the exports. . .... _.....__ _. _ RATE OF SALES AT ..

Alderman Gibbs, charged with creating a disturbance in Chancery-lane, which was believed to be the immediate cause of this unfortunate event. The statement of George Yarnold, City policeman 362, was to the following effect :—About three o'clock, on Wednesday morning, his attention was attracted in Chancery-lane, by the cries and oaths of the prisoners, who were engaged in a desperate combat with each other. Such was their ungovernable fury that he found it im possible to separate them without assistance, and he ac cordingly sprung his rattle. The screams of the prisoners and the noise of the rattle disturbed many of the inha bitants in the vicinity from their &umber, who flew to their bed-room windows imagining that the uproar was an alarm of fire. Amongst others who were thus unsea sonably terrified from their repose was Mr. Sweet, the well-known law bookseller. Mr. Sweet occupied two adjoining houses in Chancery -lane, in one of which he slept himself and his son in the other. In the hurry and trepidation of the moment, he came down stairs to the front door, in his shirt, and called to a woman, who was passing by, to ring his son's bell,and instantly after fell down in a state of insensibility. Another po liceman, named Bailey, who had come up, aroused Mr. Sweet, jun., and that gentleman had his father imme diately conveyed to his bed, and sent for Mr. East, the surgeon. Witness then took the prisoner to the station house, and, on his return to Chancery-lane, at a quarter to four, he understood that Mr East had endeavoured to bleed Mr. Sw ee t, b ut i n vain. , and that Mr. Sweet was dead. Alderman Gibbs said that it was a distressing business, and asked the prisoners what they had to say for them selves. The prisoners said that they had been drinking together until they became intoxicated and quarrelled, but were now sorry for what they had done. Alderman Gibbs, after a severe admonition, committed Woodward, who received the worst character of the two from the police, to Bridewell for one month, and Silver ton for 14 days. MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR. Yesterday forenoon, at half -past eleven o'clock, an in quest was taken before Mr. Wakley. M.P., and a highly respectable Jury, in the board-room of St. Marylebone workhouse, on view of the body of Mr. Henry Geary, aged 65, a mealman, in an extensive way of business at Uxbridge, who was found lying dead, with his pockets rifled, in North-bank, Regent's -park. Thomas Day, painter, of -No. 30, North-street, Port man-market, stated that on Monday evening last, about half-past seven o'clock, he w as pass i ng a l on g North bank, when he saw a aker i n a cart su dd en ly s t o p op posite an avenue which led out of the main road, and who presently, after calling to witness, said " Come here, here's a man either dead or drunk." Witness ac • cordingly proceeded to the spot, and going a few steps down the turning alluded to, he saw deceased lying in the road ; he was quite dead, but his body was a little warm. Immediately afterwards some police men arrived, and deceased was conveyed by them to the station-house, where a surgeon was sent for, who pro nounced life to be extinct. The pockets of deceased were then searched, and all the property therein having been taken charge of by the Inspector, he was brought to that institution. "Witness did not observe any marks of violence on deceased. The place where deceased was found had no regular path, was about one hundred yards in length, and had no carriage -way. The back doors of some houses in Lodge-road opened into it. In answer to the question of a gentleman, who stated himself to be the eldest son of the deceased, the wit ness said that the baker, when he called to him, was not by the side of deceased, but was standing on the path in North- bank. CORONER, to the son—l guess the reason of your ask ing that question is, that you miss some property? Son— Yes, Sir ; a watch and a quantity of gold. Gaythorne Harrison, an intelligent lad, residing with his parents in Princes-street, Portman-market, deposed that on Monday evening he, with another youth, was proceeding along North- bank, when, on looking down the place above referred to, they saw something on the ground near the wall, which, on approaching, they dis covered to be the body of a man, lying on his side mo tionless. Witness and his companion were dreadfully alarmed, and seeing a baker come along in his cart, wit ness called to him to stop, when, directing his attention to deceased, he got out and undid deceased's neckerchief. There was a great deal of froth round deceased's mouth. Witness then hurried to the station-house, and having made known the circumstance, several policemen accom panied him back to the spot with a stretcher, and de ceased was taken away. Police Constable Draper, 122 S, said he assisted in carrying deceased to the station-house, where, on search ing him, he found in his breast coat-pocket a pocket book containing four 101. Bank of England notes, three 5/. ditto, a cheque for 10L, several blank cheques, and some receipts, signed Geary, with some memorandums. In his other pockets he found 2s. 6d. in silver,ra pair of silver spectacles, a penknife, and a pocket-comb, but no other property-of any description. The son of deceased here said, that his father left home on Monday morning in the full enjoyment of health, for the purpose of coming to London to re ceive some bills. Re had since ascertain e d t h at de gn'searAurpmosn five lnn o'clock w i t h th e to the Great W estern Railway de ceased, as he always (lid on his visitin,gtown, Oxford-street,llad contrary dire c ti on to where he intentiond( whichn h e i d c h hl a vo t aousfs the eci utee proceeding left a n t was found), and at that time he had his watch in his fob, and between 40 and 50 sovereigns in a canvas bag in his breeches pocket. Deceased was a remarkably sober man, and had never been attacked with a fit. CORONER—From the evidence which has been ad duced, I do not feel at all justified in closing this inquiry without having a post mortem examination of the body made, to discover whether death was the result of natu ral causes or otherwise, as well as to give time for every person to come forward who can at all state anything which will tend to elucidate the mystery in which the death of the deceased is at present involved. The inquest was then adjourned till two o'clock this day. PUBLICATIONS IMPORTANT NEW ITITCORICAL WORK. Now ready, in 2 vols.
