FROM THE UNITED STATES. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY EVENING. By the arrival of the New York packet-ship Patrick Henry, Captain Delano, we are in possession of dates to the 9th from that City. The Patrick Henry has brought nine cabin passenger, and has made the passage in 18 days. The principal news by thistrrrival consists of another arrest similar to that of M`Leod, arising out of tho Caroline affair, and which it was feared would be productive of unpleasant feelings and, perhaps, trouble between the States and this country. Mr. Hogan, the individual arrested, is said to be a native of Ire land; he openly acknowledges his share in the burn ing of the Caroline, and confidently throws himself on the protection of the British Government. ANOTHER APLEOD. On Monday night, Feb. 28th, a young man by the name of Hogan, was arrested about eight miles from Lockport, and brought to that place, charged with being one of the party who attacked the steamer Caroline. The evidence against him is said to be that he disclosed to Dr. M`lienzie, of Lockport, in 1838, that he was one of the party, and that having occasion to come to Ro chester, he wrote to the Doct o r inquiring whether theie would be any danger in his doing so, and asking for a brace of pistols. Hogan is a resident of Hamilton, Upper Canada, and had been to Rochester to attend Court. He was lodged in gaol for one night, and the next day taken by writ of Habeas Corpus before Judge Ransom of the Common Pleas Court, upon the plea that there was sufficient evidence to warrant his detention. What the result of the hearing was we shall probably know to-morrow. (From the Rochester Post.) in addition, we have been permitted to peruse a pri vate letter to a Canadian exile in this city, of the same date, from which the following is an extract : " John Sheridan Hogan, one of the Caroline invaders, about whom there can be no mistake, has been arrested, and will doubtless be committed to take his trial for the part he took in the Schlosser murders. I am told he is clerk to the Sheriff of the Gore district, who was Mac- Nab's Lieutenant-colonel, opposite Navy Island, arid that he was formerly in M'Nab's law office, and acted as his secretary while at Chippewa, in 1838. lie is a good looking, bold, manly little fellow—Tory and g ame t o th e back-bone !" This will revive the whole question involved in the ce lebrated APLeod case. A more important movement has not taken place for some time. Hogan is one who, we are told, freely admits his connexion with the Caroline outrage, and throws himself on the protection of the Bri tish Government. We learn that Mr. Hogan is a native of Ireland—that he was recently in this city, and stopped several days at the National Hotel, where he expressed some fears lest he should be arrested and detainclti.-and that his com panion was Mr. John William Aikman, a son of Michael Aikman, a Tory member of the late U. C. Parliament. The Hon. Henry Clay has resigned his seat in the - Senate, and is spoken of by many parties as likely to become a candidate for President of the States. The following is his letter of resignation, which was read in the Kentucky House of Representatives on the 23d. ult. : " To the Honourable the General Assembly of Kentucky. " Washington, Senate Chamber, Feb. 16, 1142. " When I last had the honour of an appointment as one of the United States Senators from Kentucky, I in timated, in my letter of acceptance, the probability of my not serving out the whole term of six years. In con sequence of there having been two extra sessions of Congress I have already attended, since that appoint ment as many sessions of Congress as ordinarily happen during a senatorial term, without estimating my ser ices for the present, session. " I have for several years desired to retire into pri vate life, but have been hitherto prevented from execut ing my wish by considerations of public duty I should have resigned my seat in the Senate, at the commence ment of the present session, but for several reasons, one of which was that the General Assembly did not meet until near a month after Con•-ress, during which time the State would not have been fully represented, or my successor would have had only the uncertain title of an Executive appointment. " The time has now arrived when, I think, that, with out any just reproach, I may quit the public service, and bestow some attention on my private affairs, which have suffered much by the occupation of the largest part of my life in the public councils. If the Roman veteran lid title to a discharge after thirty years service, I, who have served a much longer period, may justly claim urine. " I beg leave, therefore, to tender to the General As sembly, and do now hereby tender, my resignation of the office which I hold of Senator, in the Senate of the United States, from the State of Kentucky, to take et fect on the 31st day of March, 1842 ; and I request that the General Assembly will appoint. my successor to take his seat on that day. I have fixed that day to allow me an opportunity of assisting in the completion of some meacures which have been originated by me. " I embrace this occasion to offer to the General As sembly my most profound and grateful acknowledgment fur the numerous and distinguished proofs, by which I have been honoured, of its warm attachments and ge nerous confidence during a long series of years.--I have the honour to be, &c- " H. CLAY." MEXICO AND TEXAS. The relations between these countries are still in a very unsettled state. A report by way of New Orleans, states that the Texians had had an engage ment with the Mexican forces in Rio Grande, and had slaughtered or captured about 500 men. But this resting on report only seems questionable. REPORTED SLAUGHTER OR CAPTURE OF 500 MEXl- CANS.—Captains Andrews, of the schooner C.C. Za briskie, from Matamoras, reports thus :—Having cleared and dropped down from the town, was detained, and some Mexican passengers returned to stay at home over night. On coming on board the next day, they reported that official ne Ns had been reported that ‘ there had been a fight somewhere up the Rio grande between the Texians and Mexicans, in which the latter lost 500 men, except two out of that number, who escaped and brought the news down. There may be something in this, and probably is ; but we had not been previously advised that there was any considerable number of troops, either Texian or Mexican, congregated near the Rio Grande of the plain.—N. C. Bulletin. MOBILE, FEB. 22, 1842.—The Texas Navy which is composed of one ship, two brigs, and a schooner, is commanded by Capt. Brown, who in fact is the owner of the whole, (the Texas Government not having paid for them.) Captain Brown sailed from Galveston about November, under the orders of President Houston, to Sisal ; Commissioners from Yucatan having invited the visit, ter concert a project in order to obtain from Mexico the recognition of the independence of both states. On the arrival of Captain Brown at Sisal, he found it necessary to proceed himself to Merida, in the interior, and prudence pcompted him to seize the Alcade ' of Sisal and four other distinguished persons, and send them on board his ship, as hostages for his personal safe return. He, however, found that ho had been duped, and that his hostages alone secured his personal safety and return to Sisal, where he filially sent on shore the prisoners, and took possession of four Spanish ves sels then in port, with two armed schooners, belonging to Yucatan, and departed. More recently he has, with his squadron, visited Tobasco, where he captured two more schooners, and was finally off Vera Cruz, and had there also taken two schooners, the four latter be longing to the Spaniards. Thus it appears that he is making war on Mexico, with questionable authority, if: not on his own hook. COMMERCIAL NEWS. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.—MARCH 7. The Treasury notes of the Federal Government were protested to-day to a large amount: Several thousand dollars were presented by different holders at the Bank of Commerce and also at the Bank of America, and the fact that no provision had been made to meet them, was the subject of much conversation and excitement. The Treasurer of the United States, Mr. Selden, is reported to be in the city attempting to make a provision against further protests, and to save the credit of the Govern ment, but in this we fear heis rather too late, as the pro test of these notes must lessen the credit of those already coming into market, and raise the rate of discount. Treasury notes already being below par, Custom House dues are paid altogether in such notes, and thus the Go vernment can collect here no means of redeeminF them. There is no other remedy for all this, but the raising of a sufficient revenue. There must be higher duties, and these laid on soon, or the Treasury must soon be utterly bankrupt. It is, therefore, hardly worth the while for Members of Congress to be debating about the princi ples of " protection," when the most pressing necessities of the country compel that amount of duties, which is generally adequate protection. " " Resumption " does not turn out to be so bad a busi ness for the Banks in Cincinnati as they expected. On the Ist inst. all the Banks there were paying specie. Previous to this they began to check upon New York at a low rate, and on the 26th ult. the rate was 7 for funds taken on deposit by the City Banks, and 5 to 4 for City Bank paper. Later, the City Banks were checking liberally at from 2 to 3 per cent. below their own paper. The resumption law does not oblige the Banks to pay specie on their deposit's, and the opinion prevailed that they would continue to do business on Kentucky and Indiana paper. The Banks that agreed at the Convention held at Co lumbus, to resume on the 4th March, were the Com mercial, Franklin, and Lafayette Banks or that city— the Ohio Life Insurance and Trust Company having never suspended—the Danko or Zenia, Dayton,. Clinton Bank of Columbus, Circleville, Commercial Bank of Scioto, Marietta, Muskingum, Zanesville, St. Clairsville, Mount Pleasant, Farmers' and Mechanics' Steubenville, Columbiana Bank of N. Lisbon, Western Reserve, Geauga, Massillon, Wooster, Norwalk, and Sandusky. The rate of Philadelphia is improving. Sales at only x i per cent. diec. On Baltimore also the rato is better.

We displace and omit several articles which we had prepared for to-day's paper, is order to give place to the following novel, interesting, important, amusing, serious, and singular document, w hi c h was y es terday presented! to the Court of Sessions by the Grand Jury. At the close of their arduous and valuable labours during the past term, the highly respectable mem bers• of the Grand Inquest of the City and County of New 'York, came into Court and presented to his Honour the Recorder the following singular but im portant document : - TO THE HONOURABLE THE COURT OF SESSIONS OP THE CITY AND COUNTY OF NEW YORK. The Grand Inquest for the City and County of New York, respectfully present ; That they have, as instructed by his Honour the Recorder, in his charge, proceeded to inquire into and -investigate the transactions of the Board of Brokers,•and upon such information as they have been able to obtain, make the following representations and suFgaetions relating thereto : That the reported sales of stocks, as published in the newspapers, are generally correct as made at the Board ; but that they do not always indicate the true value of the stocks. That the transactions of the Board are orderly, and that a correct record is kept of them by the Clerk of the Board. That heavy operations are frequently made at the Board for persons out of the city, and that a large por tion of these are of a mere speculative character. That most of the members of the Board buy and sell for their own account, both on time and for cash ; that some, however, do not, and are opposed to both time sales and transactions for their own account ; and that some even refuse orders from strangers, unless good reference be given —always orders from known speculators. That the most ready time operators are those of doubtful credit. That by a law of the State contracts are not bind ing unless the party making the sale has the stock in his possession at the time the contract is made. That it is a rare thing for the party making the time sales, to be in possession of the stock at the time. That a large portion of the stocks reported sold, are never transferred on the books of the respec tive institutions to which they are said to pertain. The difference in price being settled between the par ties by due bills. That time sales are made for citizens who are not members of the Board, and that brokers frequently suffer by the failure of their principals. Cases have been instanced where some have been ruined in their business and others have lost immense fortunes. The Grand Inquest have been informed that there are systematic operations among speculators in stocks termed " hammering," calculated to injure and de ceive innocent holders and purchasers. This busi ness is originated and consummated by a combina tion formed and associated to depreciate some par ticular stocks in market. To instance the process and its effect, we will suppose that the intrinsic value of the particular stock to be one hundred dollars per share. A real holder, necessitated to realise, directs his broker to offer it at the Board at this price. Then commences the " hammering" operation. Immediately the same stock is offered on, time at 98, and at six months at 91. This same pro cess is repeated day after day, and the quoted price appears on the stock list as low as 80 or less. Trans actions of this kind often commit members of the Board for Stocks to an immense amount, and thus their feelings become naturally enlisted with those who are technically termed BEARS. Efforts to pro duce this artificial depreciation are at times, it is said, continued with untiring industry for month after month, until stockholders are alarmed, and the com munity give credence to statements having no founda tion in facts. Thus the innocent and uninitiated are prompted to sacrifice their property at severe losses. Sales of this and similar character are confined to, and so much with the brokers, that fifty and sometimes twenty-five, suffice for a whole day's transaction, in which there are actually transferred some five or six hundred shares of stock ; and finally, at the end of the day, the stock is found in the name of the same broker by whom it was started on its circuitous jour ney in the morning. The Grand Inquest have also been informed that there is an operation technically termed "cornering," frequently practised among those who deal in stocks. This is elected by a combination, possessing itself of the entire stock of an institution, while the same combination, has heavy time contracts coming due ; thus having, in fact, due from others, that which is not in market, and which can only be supplied by the party making the purchase. This results in enhancing the price much above its real value, and at this en hanced price the stock reposes ordinarily in the hands of innocent purchasers who are duped by the strata gem. The directors of such transactions are termed BULLS. The Grand Inquest are fully aware of the inefficacy of additional legislation in restraining the speculative disposition of those concerned in the mere exchange of marketable commodities. So long as there are stocks to buy and sell, so long will abuses, to a greater or less extent, exist. The very nature of the article termed stocks has produced in all coun tries assemblages of persons, surprisingly shrewd and active, and stimulated by an ever rest less desire to gain by fluctuations, to which that species of property is always liable. And to the thing itself, rather than the Board of Brokers, must the community look for the cause of our demo ralisation, the chicanery, the artifices incident to the traffic in stock and other paper securities. The ef fectual remedy for the evils to which his Honour the Recorder so properly referred, is, in the opi nion of the Grand Inquest, the purification of the moral sentiment which has become diseased by the feverish and deceased nutrition incident to the u-n -due quantity of stocks of all descriptions which has of late years been created. In addition to this, the Grand Inquest with earnestness recommend, and in their recommendation they are sustained by the opinions of practical men, that the Board of Brokers, in obedience to the popular will, discourage the prac tice of the purchase and sale of stocks on time ; and that the Legislature repeal the law rendering time sales null and void, believing the repeal would have a most salutary tendency. The Grand Inquest would further state, that while the Board of Brokers are not a chartered body, so far as their transactions par take of the character of auction sales, they enjoy pri vileges and immunities incident to bodies corpo • rate alone. In their sales at the Board, so far as those sales partake of the auction character, they are subject to no State tax, while auctioneers pay 1 per cent. The withdrawal of this indirect protection, should the authorities deem it expedient, by reducing the tax on stocks sold at auction as low as one-tenth of one per cent. would, in the opinion of the Grand Inqueit, prove most beneficial. We feel bound to say that the Board of Brokers has freely offered us every SPORTING.ofhe month ere the To record the proceedings month terminates, may app ear a somewhat liibernian measure. So accustomed ar e my sporting rea d ers , however, to Newmarket Heath on this day, Easter Monday, that I fear many a murmur will escape over the breakfast table at the legal postponement for a fortnight of their hobby, the Craven Meeting being the legitimate commencement of the racing season. To fill up the vacuum, then, I, in some degree, an ticipate this day's Tattersall's (for on Thursday every one will be at Croxton Park), and will endeavour to command their attention about thirteen minutes and a half. Attila—On the first public day Attila fell from 7 to 9to 1, offered in every quarter of the room. On the 10th he was again in force. Very little was done about him on the three succeeding days, for he was neither backed or pounded (a phrase intelligible to all I wish to understand me) ; but on Thursday last symptoms of retirement were visible, and I calculate 8 to 1 might have been obtained to a very consider able sum. The wiseacres, Ido not mean horses, who 7 to 1 before Christmas, now see their folly ; the winter just over, and 8 to lis easier to be obtained now than 7 to 1 when I spoke of the audacity of the takers. The Lord of Holderness, brother to Hornsea, is second favourite. At the beginning of the month no person would take any odds you could offer. A sporting bootmaker, as we read, got on a large stake between the 7th an d 14th inst. On this latter day he was backed at Tattersall's to win 26,000 at 65 and 50 to 1. In my notes of the transactions at the corner since, I observe against the name of this horse " all the rage," " backed furiously," &c., the meaning of which I need not, I believe, explain. Auckland, the property of, and named by, the Marquis of Westminster, came (for, like the Lord of Holderness, he was for some period altogether absent) again on the 7th. Hi s ene mi e s appeared alarmed, but they were not absolutely astonished, until William de Fortibus won at Warwick. Ho has even now a strong party, but, in my humble opinion, he is much too good a horse to back at present. Of his reported trial I spoke in my last. Chatham seems to have been foaled solely that there might be one more instance of the misfortunes attend ing the Gallant Colonel's stable, as far as it is con nected with the Derby. Although backed heavily at 20 to 1 about the middle of the month, his position is far from enviable. That so good a horse should be sick at such a period is sincerely regretted by your correspondent, especially as he ventured to speak so highly of him at the close of the last season. Wiseacre was laid against very freely at 40 to 1 on the 3d, and backed quite as eagerly by the same party at 30 to 1 on the 7th ; in very great force on Monday last, when 5 to 1 was laid on him against Chatham. His friends are sanguine, his enemies nu merous and powerful. The former evidently specu late on his winning the 2,000 guineas stakes, and with good reason, the field being moderate, as far as they can tell. The Dirce colt, like the most of the horses trained by John Scott, has seen 25 to 1 taken freely : it was but for a day, and h e now occupies his old ✓ position. I have never seen him, but he is reported to be a se cond Red Cow, such being the nickname of Mundig. Dener was in force at 35 and 30 to 1 in the begin ning of the month, but Barrier has scarcely been named, even to be coupled with one of the favourites, as was his predilection throughout the month of Fe.. • bruary. Canadian, the horse that broke a small bone in his leg last October, has been much fancied and heavily backed by a gentleman considered by your excellent reporter as an influential. On the 10th he was booked to win 23,0001., at odds varying between 40 and 66 to 1 : on the next day such a price was not to be had, and 40, and even less odds, were taken. This horse is responsible for a very large stake of money, and, foi the sake of the noble owner, I hope the small bone in his leg will just forget to break again. Palinurus was much talked of, and more backed in October. Among the miscellaneous reports so indus triously circulated during the winter, one was that this horse had broken his back. It would break his back, and mine too, to carry all the money he has been backed to win. I hear we shall see him run for the column, and in the presumed absence of Chatham, he has, apparently, only to beat— The Acacia colt, the property of Mr. Batson, and a remarkably fine colt he was, when I saw him at Newmarket, in the Houghton meeting. lie is own brother to Potentia, the mare that beat John o'Gaunt in a canter across the flat. He has a select party, including some first-rate judges, and most for tunate speculators. Espartero ' the property of Mr. Thornhill, has been backed a good deal, quietly, during the winter. On Monday last the express had arrived, and 50, 40, and 35 to 1 were taken as long as layers could be found. A mare in the same stable, Equation, has also been backed in the course of the month to win some 30,0001. at 100 to 1. The public will not bare the latter evidently, as the same people who lay the latter odds against the mare are backers of the horse at the odds above, and last quoted. The Joanna colt---ye gods I low they back the horses in Scot's lot. On the 7th, I should say that this horse was backed to win at least 30,0001. at 50 to 1 ; and I do not forget the sums of money invested about Christmas. I cannot pay Lord Jersey, or his trainer, so ill a compliment as to accept this hors. upon any terms whatever. The public may have him if they will, I will not. • Meteor, of course, comes again. Having never been under 40 to 1, is quite sufficient reason why the public should back him again; but where are the Artful Dodger and William Le Gros ? horses backed to win no mortal knows what, within the last eight weeks. I have scarcely heard their names mentioned since my last Monthly Report. Ballinkeel, Robert de Gorham, and Moss Trooper, have been in slight request. Among the very out siders that have been named, are Gobbo, the horse that ran second at Warwick ; Sir Gibert's lot ; the Frederica c., one of John Day's ; Mr. Allen's Bel coeur, beaten off at Doncaster ; and Lord George Bentick's Tripoli, beaten off, carrying a feather, at Newmarket. Fresh horses appear to spring up like mushrooms, and not omitting to state that Forth's lot have been at different times heavily, backed, I will add that I am prepared to see great "and frightful changes. If I was compelled at this moment to select from the field the number of horses likely to see Ep som, rather to pass the judge's chair, I confess the list wouldstartle you. The Craven Meeting will en lighten us wonderfully. I believe I shall have occupied the time of the read er as long as I bargained for, if I add the ENGAGEMENTS OF TIIE FAVOURITES AND OTHERS BACKED TO WIN THIS BROBDIGNAG DERBY.
