I'' es ,to transact s . m(' Int‘i e tee e artiviime e of two witnesses, who a. -~..~;~ subsequent to - the Navy - Island affair,- enlisted in the United States Second Artillery.- ' Mr.. Wells informs us that he purchased the steam . boat darolite a few weeks before she was destroyed. Though — POSesged . of considerable property, he had never owned a steam -boat before, and was very proud of the Careiline. The Navy Island expedition had proved a failure ; there were not more than 300 men on the island ; pro. visions had stopped coming in ; they were in a state of starvation and anxious to get of from the island.- For that purpose they made overtures to charter the Caro line. These Mr. Wells wholly refused. He got out the hint upon the sole condition that he should run her. upon his own hook, charging what he pleaSed for ferryage, andgoing when and where he pleased. Per this purpose he took out regular papers from the United States col lector at Buffalo. Subsequently he submitted the whole case to Mr. Garrow, United States Marshal, who decided that he had violated no law in - the whole transactism. Mr. Wells was in the Caroline when she was boarded. The only weapon on board was a pocket pistol, in the pocket of Captain Haggarty, commander of the brig on Lake Erie, which he did not probably know he had, which was not loaded, and which there was not powder enough on board to load. . Mr. Wells stood under the deck when the party from Canada boarded her. At first he supposed that the pur pose of the party was simply to take possession cf the boat. He had no idea of any other violence than being turned ashore, until he heard a cry. of " No quarto- !" and the commencement Of the work of death. He saw I)urfee taken from the fire• room, and supposed when the man approached for that purpose that he was coming for himself. The darkness concealed him, and Durfee was taken instead.. There was a scuffle of a few moments, and he saw Durfee no more until,he was lying dead upon the deck. It is the belief of Mr. Wells that this was the man that killed Durfee, and that it was done with a pistol. On the part of the prosecution, the fact of the Caro line being unarmed and unchartered will be fully proved. No man will swear that he saw M'Leod shoot I)urfee. The one who offered such evidence proved to be a miser able wretch, who could not tell in what year the Caro line was destroyed, and he was advised by the States' Attorney to take the first boat west. The evidence of. those upon the boat in relation to the .dentity of I%l‘Leod is much less conclusive than that of those .IVho swear. lhey. saw him go and return with the expedition, from the Canada shore. We judge, that though a strong ,case will be made opt against • .I.lfLeod, the Jury will not agree upon a reidict. However thii may - be, the trial is of the highest importance in a -national point of view, for, it will be shoWn beyond all further question, that • the de struction of the Caroline and the murder of her crew were an outrage not warranted by the character of the boat and the businessin which she was engaged, and wholly indefensible—one for which England should make the most ample reparation. No less clearly will it be shown, that this act was regretted by the officers of the provin cial Government at that time, and the responsibility taken by the Governnient shbsequently only for the pur pose of retaining the loyal services of those who would otherivise be given up to the authorities of this State to be punished by our laws. • THE M'LEOD CASE, UTICA, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 29.—Late last night, and during the whole of this morning, witnesses arrived here in greitt numbers, both for the prosecution and the pri ioner. ,The survivors of the Patriot army which was in posses ion of Navy Island when the Caroline was de stroyed have come, with all the officers of that short-lived provisional Government of which Mackenzie was Presi dent pro. tern. FrOin Buffalo, Canada, and for a great extent along the frontier, the cry is " Still they come." Mr. Bradley and Mr. Gardner, Mr. Spencer's asso ciate counsel for the prisoner,' have - arrived from Canada with voluminous-testimony, taken under commission, and many witnesses to sustain his defence, and all parties are now ready to go to trial. It i now, however, well understood that the trial will not commence until Monday next, and in the meantime Judge Gridley Will clear the calendars, both civil and criminal. It is not at all improbable that the case will occupy twelve or fourteen days. The Prosecuting counsel will merely open and en deavour to sustain an ordinary case of murder, but the defence wilt be broad, and lead to many collateral issues'. An aLlii, by oral testimony, will be-one branch of the defence ; the next will be the examinations recently taken in Canada' to negative the positive evi dence that M'Leod took part in the affair of the Caro . line. This consists of the examinations of those Who admit their own participancy, in the transaction, and a question will arise as to the admissibility of such evi dence. It was originally arranged that these examina tions should be taken at specified places on fixed days, by interrogatories which the counsel for the people and for the prisoner have determined upon, and a legal gen tleinan was commissioned to be present to act on the part of the State authorities. For some days examinations were thus taken, but the Commissioners then resolved to separate themselves, And hold courts at different points at the same time, doubtless with a desire to facilitate the accomplishment of their mission ; but the legal gentle man for the State, unlike the Irishman's bird (according to a celebrated ornithologist), had not the power of übi quity, and, therefore, could not be in two places at once; consequently some of the examinations will be considered . ex parte only, and their reception will be objected to. Another, branch of the defence will be the general character of the transaction, the circumstances of those times—in short, impunity will be claimed on the ground that the Catioliee was engaged in an open war oa the' British province, and that she was cut off by the orders of the proper authorities. This part of the de , fence will open the ° case broadly, if the Judge deems it legitimate, and the termination of the trial may not be looked for until a distant day. Both parties are prepared with hosts of witnesses _in, anticipation that this part of the subject may he gone into. Judge Gridley takes his seat daily before eight o'clock, and with a recess for dinner and another for tea, of thirty minutes each, sits until near midnight ; but in the, 3;l'Leod case he will not press the trial on for more than nine hours each day, that the counsel may have some time for preparation and consultation each night ; it must, nevertheless, necessarily consume many days, un less the Judge confines the parties in their defence, and prohibits the re-opening of the case on which udge Cowan's decision was made some time ago. • Great preparations are made to give the trial to the public through the press, and the best reporters in the country are here. A very liberal proposition has just been made by the Directors of the Utica and Schenectady Railroad to run a special express gratuitously for the use of the Press of New York, to start at noon each day. This, however, cannot be accomplished, unless one news paper proprietor will relinquish an exclusive contract which he has already made. (From the Courier and Inquirer.) CIRCUIT COURT AND COURT OF OYER AND . . TER MINER. (Before Jthiges Gridley,' White, Jones, Roberts, and Kinney.) UTICA, SEPT. 27.—The Court met yesterday for the Term, and the Grand Jury having been empanelled, were charged at some length, and with great perspicuity, by Judge Gridley, the presiding Judge. The Petit . Jury were then sworn, end - among the first cases was that of Alexander M'Leod. In this case Mr. Willis Hall, Attorney-Graneral of the State, on the part of the prosecution, rose and said,—lf the Court please, I desire to call the witnesses in the case of " People v. Alexander i‘l'Leod," and those called will please to answer their names. (25 names were hero, called, and but one answered.) Mr. Hall then said,— The'proper evidence of the service of subpoenas upon the witnesses will be filed, and I shall then ask for attach merts to be issued against those who do .not appear. I would remark, that a large number of witnesses are in attendance on the part of the people, and though it seems that many of them are not in Court at present, I presume that they will shortly arrive, and I therefore propose to set down the trial for an'early day,' as early as the con venience of the Court and prisoner will admit. I am, not disposed to call on the case to the prejudice of the . party, bat I am anxious to call it on as noon as possible. Judge Gridley—l understand that you are now ready ? am now ready, it' the prisoner is ready to go to trial. Spencer—l inform the Counsel that we are not now ready, and that we will not be until next week. The Court—This is very unfortunate; I would wish to have it brought on as early as circumstances will permit. Spencer—l will inform the Attorney-General that the last thing we desire is any unnecessary delay. do not wish to be misunderstood. Ido not wish the trial to be called on until he is prepared, but if he has thought proper to let the season pass without executing his commissions, though he 'understood that the trial was set down last May for this term and this place ; if he now wishes to put it off without giving good reason, all the circumst a n ces au th or i ze m e in enforcing it on you with more rigour than I would do under ordi nary circumstances. I will therefore not make any sti pulations further than leaving it until the middle of this week before I make any call upon the Court to allow the trial to proceed. The Court then addressed the Jurors as follows : "Gentlemen, It was my attention, had not the Coun sel suggested it, to charge the Jurors, t th e m will have to try a most important indictment, some of e and one which has created great excitement through the en tire State, it is possible that the Jurors may lfav e heard and spoken much on the subject. It is nevertheless de sirable that they sh ould hear or know p ,as little as possible ible in relation to it before t he y are em p annelle d to try the cause, in order that they should then know it from the mouths of the witnesses, and, enter upon the case with out having formed any . previous opinion or predilection, and hence - the necessity of their not conversing with any person whatsoever in relation to the - facts of the case. They should enter into no conversations, and hear no sug gestion from one side:Or the other. It is true that if any person approaches a Juror with the view or intention of in fluencing his mind, his doing so is highly criminal, and the man who so acts is subject to indictment ; and if any person attempts to suggest to - a Juror tacts or cir cumstances, or in any _ way tamper with him, it is the duty of such Juror to inform the Court or District Attor ney of it, an d commun icate the nature of s uch sugges tions or attempts to bias or influence him in the dis cchaonrvgeersoatfihonisduties. It is proper for m an y reasons, some of whi c h mus t b e ev ident to the Jury , to avoid an some on the _ hfea);i3s,tahni on h w SU yeet •in order unit , in the beau tiful language.of the mind e the law, they may stand ind ifferent as they nd s trust, to orn ; and any attempt to creat e influence District t o r t i c a t A .Ji t t t r o o r r ne s y ho h i i i i i .o d ra h w e d Ii of it. diately noticed and th that no such attempt will be made." The Court n : ert then r in civil calendar. proceeded with the causes on the THE GROGAN AFFAIR. DARING OUTRAGE I—OUR _TERRITORY IN VADED, AND AN AMERICAN CITIZEN , KIDNAPPED BY BRITISH ARMED SOLDIERS. ST. ALBAN'S (VERMONT), SEPT. 94, IS4l.—Sinve the alltlCKllleV43Vilt in our last paper of thy gross outrage wits, notwithstan - ding the high crimes for liich true bills have beeefound against him in our Criminal Courts, no obstacle, we presume, will be - offered to his surrender to such American authorities as may take the proper steps fur his release. " There remains now only one other step—that Sir R. Jackson should immediately order his restoration to: our limits, and the punishment of the violators of our' territory. Thus would this new speck of war in the ho rizon be dissikated.' " Since the above was in type, we have seen a letter from an officer of the United States army,' who bad re paired to Alburgh, and there ascertained that the out rage was committed by volunteers, and not regulars ; and without the presence, or, So far as could be ascertained, the sanction of any commissioned officer. " Of course, therefore; restitution and redreSs will be promptly tendered by the Canadian Government." (From the Boston Daily Mail, Oct. 2.) FURTHER FROM THE FRONTIER EMISSA RIES IN CANADA, &c. The Niagara Chronicle states that emissaries from the " Patriots," who are leagued together in the adjoining republic for the purpose of robbing and murdering the inhabitants of Canada, have recently visited that district. The Chronicle further states, that their errand was to get persons to enrol their names as ready to embark in any movement which Might be undertaken against the provinee, and they solicited such as they thought might be depended upon to attend a " patriotic" Convention about to be held at Manchester, New York. These emissaries stated.that they had in the Republic upwards of 10,000 men, well armed, and ready for opera tion at a moment's notice ; that, although they could not quite depend upon open support from the Federal Go vernment, they could calculate upon its covert assistance: that the " patriot" cause was now headed by Colonel Johnson (late Vice-President of the United States), and a Mr. Scott (nephew of the present CoMmander-in-Chief of the United States army, who, it will be remembered, used to hob-nob with his brother, General Van Rensse hair, at Buffalo); and furthermore, that this force, well organised, furnished with a vast number of pieces of ordnance, anti continually increasing, a demonstration would shortly be made which would astonish the world. WAR MOVEMENTS IN THE EAST.—It appears from a privatp letter, that our Chinese squadron expected and prepared for a desperate fight, having heard that war had been declared between the United States and Great Bri tamp. It was merely a flash in the pan, however ; but it shoWs' the energy and determination of our naval officers. ' HALIFAX, OCT. 8. ' The Caledonia has at last arrived. The anxiety felt byfthe community at large for the arrival of this long anticipated steamer, now due nearly five days, has been allayed.by, her arrival. The Caledonia sailed on Satur day, ,the .2d of October, and about midnight the storm commenced, which lasted during the whole passage. She lost her. life-boat, and nine of. the crew are seriously in : - jured ; the carpenter has his leg broken in two places, and thd third officer is in a very doubtful situation. The passengerS never expected to see Halifax,: or any other port. It proves, however, the superiority of the Cunard line Over the New York or any other line, for no other vessel could have stood what this boat has experienced. The Caledonia leaves here this morning at ten o'clock for Liverpool, carrying 33 passengers from Boston, and 25 from this city., There are symptoms of another invasion of Canada; we give the following particulars:— PREPARATIONS FOR TROUBLE.—The Springfiell (Illi nois) Journal of a late date sayi—" The Secretary of War has written to Governor Cass, inforMing him that the United States Government were about to forward to some point on Rock River arms and ammunition, 10 be subject to the order of the Governor in case hostilities should commence between this country and the British Indians." (From the Morning HeraLl, Oct. 4.) The Acadia arrived at Cunard' s Wh ar f at half-past 11, o'clock On Saturday night, after a passage of 13+ clays, bringing 94 passengers, 15 of • whona took passage for Halifax. • She-sailed from Liverp oo l at noon on the 19th of September,. and on the second day out experienced very boisterous Weather, - which continued more or less during the whole pas Sage.. ARRIVAL OF SIR CHARLES ADAM, VICE-.ADMIRAL OF THE BLUE.-- - --Her Majesty's frigate Pique, bearing the flag of `'ice Admiral Sir Charles Adam, arrived at this port yesterday afternoon. The 'Admiral was re ceived with a suitable salute frinn the Winchester, Com modore Douglas ; and the Pique" came to anchor off the dockyard.

Without protection, not one in twenty of these ships could reach home; and beside the loss of the wealth in them, the Government would, lose the services of these 10,000 seamen—a very important consideration before our war would be over.

WHOLESALE LYNCHING Ir TEX4s,.—K week or two ago, says the Nachitocheß Herald, - we gave an account of the trial-of one Jackson, in Harrison county, Texas, for murder ; of the manner in which he was tried ; how he was acquitted, - and how he and some of his friends then seised the county Judge, WHenry, and brought him into lituthitoelica, where he is now in gaol, awaiting his trial,' under an indictMent for carrying off negroes from that parish. It now appears that when - Jackson returned to Texas, he was attacked and killed by four or five friends of Milienry, and they, in their turn, hare been captured and hung without any ceremony by the friends ofJackson. MunDEn.—lt becomes our melancholy duty to record a murder which took place in an adjoining town, Fair field, on Thursday, 23d inst. It appears that some al tercation arose between two Irishmen—one by the name of Quin, and the other Murphy, when the latter threat ened to kill the former, and ,begun to strike him with his fists. At the time Qain received the first blow, h€'was cutting tobacco with his pocket knife, and as the blows were repeated, he struck Murphy-in the breast with hif knife, which proved fatal in about an hour. Quilt has been arrested and lodged in the county gaol, and an in quest is to be holden over the body of Murphy to-day. We have only too - add' at 'present, - that RCM has acted its part in this case, as usual in all such eases.-L-St. Albans ilessenyer. _ L. MELANCHOLY DisAsTEß.—Foutt Livas LosT.—A inost fatal and distressing accident occurred at the marble quarry of Julius Bebee, Esq., of Arlington, on the Bth inst., at aoout-four o'cloA, P.M. The workmen in the quarry were engaged in, tampering a hole which they had drilled near eight - feet deep, when it exploded, kill ing- Mr. .Calvin Andrew and Jonathan Hawkins, stantly, and fatally wounding Mr. John Perquay, and Mr. Allen:Demon.. Mr. Perquay had one arm blown off; and both eyes put oat ; he died at nine o'clock, and Mr. Bebee, at ten o'clock, that evening. Mr, Bebee's.Sen and another gen tlothau had just left the quarry, and proceeded only some thirty or forty feet when the explosion oc curred.- They - were not injured. A Mr. Corey was sitting pith n pis feet at the time, and two of the bodies were thrown over his head, and precipitated down upon the rocks. He also escaped without injury. Three arms, one leg, and 'two heads were severed from the bodies, which were other Wise sadly mutilated. Edward De Wolff, Esq., Consul fOr the kingdom of the Netherlands at Mobile, died at Pensacola on the I 7th inst. M. De Wolff had been at Pensacola for .a few dayS on a visit, and died after a short illness of malig nant fever. We are_ informed that he received every attention calculeed to mitigate his sufferings and that he had the benefit of the best professional aid. During his residence at Mobile, M. De Wolff acquired a most desirable reputation for - abilities in his business, and the esteem of an extensive circle of friends. Too SHOCKING FOR BELIEF.—The Lafayette Chro nick says there is an old toper in that place who actu ally sold his wife's " bustle" to buy rum ! ANOTHER MURDER BY A NEGRO.—The Natchez Whig of the 15th, says—We are credibly informed that Mr. S. S. Fox, a planter, who resides at Tuscumbia land ing, a few miles below the mouth of Yazoo, was shot a few days ago by a negro, whom he attempted to arrest as a runaway. There are squads out in search of the black murderer, but at last accounts he was not found. -ANOTHER SElZURE.—Letters were received in this city on Friday, from the American Consul at St. Helena, which stated that the brig Cipher, late of this port, had been seized by the British on the coast of Africa. The Cipher left Saleni in command of Capt. Dayley. She Was sold at Cabenda, Africa, to the Portuguese, for the sum of $7,500, and on the 11th of July was taken pos session of by the British brig Persia, on charges of being intended and fitting up for the slave trade. Suits were instituted and the brig was condemned in a Court of Ad miralty.—Salem Register. AFFRAY AT FORT short time ago, says the Natchitoches Herald of the 4th, a party of U. S. troops from this fort, had an affray with some Cherokee' Indians in the little villacre of Maysville, during which one Indian was. kill e d, an d another sadly wounded. Both parties were under influence of liquor. The troops were taken to the fort and placed in irons. On examining them, it was found impossible to fix upon the murderer, and their trial has been set aside until additional evi dence is obtained. Some five or six hundred Indians have assembled near the fort, and they say that they must have redress. A MURDER IN lOWA.—The Cleveland Herald states that on a recent occasion a man named Henry Hultz beaker, Sheriff of Clayton county, lowa, and a Mr, McClelland of the same county, got into a family quar rel. A challenge passed between them, but the Sheriff swore he would not fight, but would shoot McClelland at all events. lie drove the latter into his own house with pistol:in hand, but before he could fire, McClelland - seized his rifle and shot him dead. McClelland was exa mined and acquitted. NEW PAcKrr SHlP.—Ship Switzerland, formerly of Boston, has been bought by Messrs. Grinnell, Minturn, and Co., of New York to take the place of the Samson in their line of London packets. The Switzerland is a fine new and fast-sailing ship, and is to be commanded by Captain Frank Smith, formerly of the Samson. FROM MALAGA.—Captain Hartshorn, of the bark Em press, arrived last evening in 20 days from Malaga, in forms that place was visited on the 24th of August by a severe gale from S.E., which did• great injury to the crops, and drove a number of Spanish vessels on shore, THE NEW GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF CANADA. We are very well pleased to find that Sir Charles I3agot, and not Sir Howard Douglas, is to be the new Governor 7 General of British North America. Not that we had any particular objection to Sir Howard, who was sufficiently popular during his New Brunswick Ad ministration, but because we think it better. that a man should come out who is in no degree trammelled by the prejudices and predilections of the past. So much has been done and learned in British North America within the last ten years, that any man who should attempt to govern these Colonies upon views formed, and informa tion acquired, previous to tkat period, would make a monstrous mistake, and do a vast deal of mischief. Sir Howard Douglas might have attempted this, because, though to unlearn is often as necessary as to learn, it is always the more difficult task of the two. A valued Correspondent, who, from the opportunities he enjoys for acquiring accurate information on such subjects, can scarcely be mistaken, thus writes front Lon don, under date of the 18th September :—" My opinion is unchanged, though Sir C. Ilago"s name indicates no thing, because he is unknown in English politics, I continue to believe that the colonial policy of. the new Government will be just and wise. Indeed, so far as these intentions go,I feel sure of italready. Those who know Sir C. Bagot, and whom lean thoroughly trust, assure me that he is a clear-sighed, able man, without a grain of Colonial Tory prejudice, and that he would deem it madness and wickedness to upset what has been done to wards real responsible Government in British America. I fully believe them. I am sure you may, without risk, speak confidently of the just and 'wise intentions of the new government, and of the good sense and liberality of the new Governor-General." With such an assurance as this, we feel that we may very confidently bespeak for the new Governor-General the sympathy and assistance of all classes of the British Colonial population, without distinction of politics or origin His task will be an. arduous one, and- if he comes to it in a right spirit, he ought to be met by those who have the deepest interest in. the success of his Ad ministration, with a reasonable measure of confidence and hopeful expectation.—Nm;a FUNERAL OF LORD SYDENHAM.

The lightness of the breeze then stirring kept us stationary until nine Oclock, when we set sail in order to gain a better position to windward. But this having proved impossible, at one o'clock I gave battle, in the disadvantageous position in which our squadron remained, keeping .up a lively cannonade until about nightfall. At this time the enemy abandoned their pol , sitton, ea ilipg- towards PO* Indio, whither ire pursued them, until the darkness was so much increased as to completely hide his vessels. I ought also to inform your Excellency that. in spite of the ene►getic courage of the commander opposed to us, he was not well supported by his other vessels—all of which, I think, have sustained considerable damage, especially one of the smaller ones, which lowered her ttag and sent her people on board his ship. Our loss of men has been small, and the same may he said with regard to our vessels, with the exception of the galley General Rivera, which received - a serious injury in her hull. _ . . I recommend to the, distinguished consideration of his Excellency and the Republic, the valour, Stibordination, and activity of the officers; sailor*, - and Marines of our fleet, all of whom have fulfilled their duty as valiant de fenders of a good Cause. God save your Excellency ! (Signed) • J. 11. COE. - To Don Enrique Martinez, Secretary, &c. The Monte Vitlean fleet anchored at Monte Video on the 4 th, when one of the schooners belonging to it sunk, in consequence of the damage she had sustained during the action.

New Orleans, Sept. 15, 1541. lam directed by his Excellency the President of the Mexican Republic to make known that all persons tra velling in the departments of Upper or Lower Califor nia, without giving notice to. the Government, or his diplomatic or consular agents, for the purpose of obtain ing passports ' will be subject to be driven from the terri tories of said departments, without rendering the Go• vernment liable for any indemnity, inasmuch as they will have failed to comply with the formalities required by the laws of the Republic. F. 1). ARRANGOIZ. COMMERCIAL NEWS. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, OCT. I. . This is a day Uf unusual excitement in the eonftner cial world, inasmuch as it is the last day upon which Many articles come in fret of duty, that were taxed by the- late tariff. The weather is far from being favour able for arrivals, but steam-boats are kept crnising9ff, to bring within three leagues of the coast, whatever there is in sight. Thousands and thousands of dollars in prOfitS depend upon what arrives before twelve o'clock, P.M. " The articles upon which the new duties have been laid, ing already risen in the market in advance of the Ist of October, the consumer does not feel the progress of the rise, but what comes in free now is, therefore a pro fit to the importer. Nor will the revenue derive any im mediate benefit from the new levy it of duties, s the hn-, porters have anticipated the time i n their importation.— This fact accounts, in a great degree, for the great impor tations we have been having since movements were first made in Congress for a new Revenue Bill. The amount of Bonds taken this year at the New York Custom House is nearly $6,500,000, while during the lastyear, it was only about $4,500,000. This fact also accounts for the some what large shipments of specie that have been made to Europe, it being to pay for these very goods, imported in advance of what would have been oiherwise the proper time. A cool day like this, announcing a change in the season, stimulates forwarders and shippers to renewed exertions. There is now great activity among them, all along the lines of our wharves, and no doubt all along the 'Hudson, and the canals. . _ The Flour Market continues excessively dull. The sales making are small, but prices are quite uniform, at ,Ift; 50c. for common brands and good Southern. Wheat bears a higher price in proportion than Flour. This is owing to the constant demand there is for this descrip tion of Grain, which is wanted for the British provinces, where it is _received free of duty, and is from thence shipped to England. It is this steady demand that has kept up the price of wheat so high that our millers have found it difficult to supply themselves for manufac turing purposes.. Such a fact as this, with many of the like in other branches of trade, is calculated to draw renewed attention to the state of American trade as connected with Britain and the British provinces. • - Coarse grains, particularly corn, have declined. This is owing in part to a falling off in the demand for distillers. The distillers and rectifiers have received quite a check in their business. The receipts of whiskey from the country have been unusually great, and being constantly pressed on the market, have kept down prices much un- . der what it can be manufactured for. This, with the belief by many, that there is a diminished consumption, has left on hand a surplus supply. Some of our large dis tillers have been pursuing a losing business, and are about • closing operations, at least for a limited period. If the manufacturers here should adopt the plan of the manu. facturers of dry goods in England—that:of working short time, so as to make no more than is consumed, they would diminish their business, but raise the price to a point to make it profitable. Trade in Pearl-street appears to be quite brisk. The boxes that line the sidewalks, directed to distant sections of the country, denote that it is a season of very consi derable activity. Trade, however, is pursued with ex treme caution ; and no small difficulty arises to fix the rates of Exchange. Generally, credits are given with the stipulation, that - when the time of payment arrives, thesame.shall be made in New York Bank funds. • Thi'steamer sails from Boston to-morrow, and there has consequently been. a good deal done in Exchange. The rate of Sterling Bilis has been very firm at 1091-, and even 110 has been obtained which is a higher rate than any liave sold at - fora - long time. The shipment of specie is new more profitable than to remit bills. The circtila• Lion; of the Commercial Bank, it is now stated, is greater than Was at, first .given out. It will amount to a little over two'btinfired thousand dollars. This is the prin cipal cause why the banks &Cline receiving their bills. They are selling at l a per cent. discount. It is well known they are abundantly secure. - Domestic Exchange continues without thy slightest change. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, Sam 30. SALE OF STocx.-4,000 Indiana Bonds, 48k; 1,000, $4B GO c.

Harlon R HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM YUCATAN AND MEXICO.--ANOTHER REVOLUTION IN THE LATTER COUNTRY. - Late last evening we received some highly important intelligence from Yucatan and Mexico. That from Mexico is down to the 27th ult., and from Yucatan to the Ist inst. Another revolution has broken out in Mexico, and Santa Anna is again in the ascendant. On the 18th ult., Guadalaxara, in Mexico, under the command of General Paredes, proclaimed for the aboli tion of the 15 per cent. duty, 'which had been recently levied by Government, and in favour of a Congress to be elected by the people. This created a great deal of excitement. Mexico is destined to become a republic, like Yucatan. The news of this outbreak reached Vera Cruz on the 24th ult., and Santa Anna immediately proclaimed in fa vour of the same measures. He -despatched troops on the 25th to occupy the principal castles and forts be tween Vera Cruz and the city of Mexico. On the 26th Vera Cruz also declared for the revolu tion, and then the train was. almost' complete for the overthrow of the Central Government. On the same afternoon Santa Anna, a ho hadabout 2,000 troops under his command, sent off a sufliCient• number to take pos . session of Peyote, w castle which commands the commu nication between the city of Mexico, and. "era Cr , . They reached there on the 27th, just as the Eng, is i mail was leaving, and it is by this means that ire have Puebla heard the news. As . soon as the General of heard of what had happened Le despatched three hun dred horse to the assistance of Perote, but Santa Anna had possession thereof before these troops arrived within six leagues of the place. . Thus much for the new revolution in Mexico. It ap. pears that that country has now its hands full of war. On the Ist inst. the Congress of Yucatan met, and no .doubt, declared that province entirely free, .inde pendent, and a distinct country from Mexico, as all the members of the Congress, elected belong to the party of separation.

Six or seven shots passed in a few seconds-- the young men pursued, but without overtaking the mots nor have the persons concerned since been discovered.
