H!UH W ATER AT LONDON BRIDGE THIS DAY. ---- , riling 0 minutes after 4 1 Evening 19 minutes after 4 LONDON: SATURDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 24, 1842. The mutual cut-throat system proceeds rapidly. To meet the American tariff, which is the result of our Corn-laws, it is proposed, we see, to close the ports of our West India islands against Ame• Tican s hipping, and to levy a duty of ld. or 2d. l'er lb. on American cotton. The first mersure -would subject the West Indians, already corn 3""ing of decay, - to a great additional charge. They must have the supplies of food and lumber, - which -they Their vessels be t:rathe United States; and if prohibited from importing them, The West Indians Must p ay The and a higher freight, and charge of shippi ng re-shipping, and pro -I)ably the expense o f an additional voyage. So These schemes to bri ng the Americans to their venses will inflict a serious injury on the West Indians, to whom we must already pay some -three or four millions a y ear for the injury we iiave, as they say, under the advice of some such :ii)eddling madmen, already inflicted on them. Of the same kind of wisdom is the proposition, t sanctioned by the Tories, to levy an additional ,hity un American cotton. We should like to Inow whether the merchant who makes the :suggestion has any interest in East India 'shipping or East India cotton ? One un proposed tax is to pro 9,:isguised o bj ec t o f the 3:lote the cultivation of cotton in India, so that 'Our shipping may be employed in bringing the - .necessary supply just as in the case of timber— :l'l.oin a distance five times as great as the place 'whence it could be obtained. This proposal finds :favour with the hardware interest, because it suf :,..ers from the Amerjcan tariff. Already our cot loti manufacture is struggli ng under many disad vantages: add to them this proposed increase of Tile duty on the raw material it works up of ld. -or 2d. per lb., and the lord of the manor of Man , ester may soon send his ploughs into Moseley btreet. Both these suicidal proposals are sucr zs -crested by men out of Parliament. F oolish and -wicked,.therefore, as is our legisl a ti on, it would -Tem that the folly of Parliament men is more - than matched by the folly of some of the public. 'Two plans intended to injure another State, and more certain than these to injure our own people, we never by any chance heard of. Let them be acted on, and the enemies of England will not have any occasion to wish for her decay and de struction. Though the West India Mail Packet Company has our cordial good wishes, we are by no means of opinion that it should be stimulated, by Go vernment support, to continue a ruinous specu lation. At the meeting on Wednesday, Captain SWEENY, of the Royal Navy, plainly stated that it was impossible that the Company could suc ceed; and it is rather too much for the public to throw away 240,000/. a year, in order to enable the Company effectually to ruin itself. We are quite aware of the ungraciousness of making objections to employing the public money, when such a grand project is on foot as maintaining a steam communication with the West Indies ; but we are of opinion, that steam commercial navigation can be as little profited as agriculture by Government bounties, and, therefore, it be comes our duty to advert to the consequence of so employing nearly a quarter of a million of the public money per year. If the decision on this question be left to the Company itself, or to City Correspondents, it will be settled only in one way. The money will be supplied till the Company be insolvent, and the Proprietors lose their property; and ulti mately the public, through its organ the Govern ment, will have to pay the whole expenses of continuing the project. It is not right, however, to leave the decision of such questions to the parties interested. The public has suffered al ready very much from believing that corn growers and land-owners were the best judges of the legislation which would most promote the success of agriculture ; that ship-masters and ship-owners could make the best laws fur navi gation ; that iron-founders and silk-weavers were the only reasonable judges of legislation for ma nufactures; and that merchants alone could know any thing of the laws which ought to be made for trade. The public has confided in these se parate classes, and each of them has made, or recommended, laws, which begin by fleecing or injuring the consumer, and end by injuring the producer whom they were intended to benefit. The public, which pays the money, is deeply in terested in the question, and has a right to insist that the Government shall not expend its pro. perty except most economically and mostusefully. Government has a duty to perform, and is no more warranted, because a project looks showy, to devote the public money to it than a woman is warranted in wasting her husband's substance in purchasing handsome but unnecessary dresses. The Government must have no caprice. It must act exclusively for the public good. Extrava gance brings families to ruin, and though nations are not so easily ruined as families, they can but be injured by a course which is fatal to indivi duals. In this particular case, the Government has not only to consider the merchants and West India proprietors, who will be benefited by the rapid transmission of letters, but it has also to consider the other classes who contribute to pay the money. Altogether, probably, nearly half a million a year is expended in keeping up com munication with foreign countries, all the advantages of which are reaped almost exclu sively by the mercantile classes. Some of them, like Mr. IRVING, the Chairman of the Company, may be so extensively connected with our colo nies that it is for their advantage even to lose something as proprietors of such a Company, provided they obtain by the loss the means of rapidly conveying passengers, parcels, and letters to the West Indies at the public expense. Such considerations should make the Government and the public extremely cautious how they apply the public money to encourage or promote this private speculation. The duty of the Government is to provide the means of communication with the West Indian colonies in the cheapest and most effectual man ner. Now it has been proved that the plan pro posed and adopted by the Company and the Go vernment is not the cheapest nor most efficacious. It has been proposed to send all the commu nication to the West Indies by the Halifax steamers, instead of sending two lines of steamers across the Atlantic ; and it has been proposed that the mails shall be carried from Halifitx to St Thomas's by another steamer. By this means a voyage of '2,500 miles might be saved, and little or no delay be caused. Supposing the sugges tion thrown out in this journal of transmitting the mails through the United States be rejected as impracticable, the plan of sending a steamer between Halifax and St. Thomas's will be a much less costly mode of distributing the let ters than by sending two great steamers instead of one across the Atlantic. Our impression, in deed, continues to be, that it would be in all re spects wise—notwithstanding the American ta riff—as promoting commercial intercourse be tween England and the United States, and be tween our colonies and the United States—to use the means already in existence in the United States to convey our mails the whole distance between Boston and some extreme southern point of the Republic. We believe that a steamer passing from Halifax to St. Thomas, even calling, as is proposed in the Liverpool Times, at some ports of the United States, would not pay its expenses ; while the United States offer us the means to send mails a large part of the distance at a small expense. England is already weighed down by public charges. Her Government costs a great deal more than it is worth, and he is the best friend to its continuance in safety, who urges economy upon it in every possible way. To keep up com munication with the whole Western world is un questionably a good thing; but it will be best kept up by employing only one line of steamers betwixt Halifax and England, and sending all the mails on from Halifax. By adopting such a means of communication the public money might lie saved, and the West India Mail Packet Company be kept from ruining itself. The people of Birmingham like thou% of Leeds and Glasgow, are beginning to complain bitt er l y At first, lik e of the tariff of the United States. ourselves, when they saw the tariff in conjunc_ tion with Lord Asneunrox'samicable settlement of the many disputed questions between Great Britain and America, the Birmingham houses were inclined to augur most favourably of our future prospects, but a rigid examination of the tariff has led them to a very different and a much more melancholy conclusion. They have found out that at present prices the new tariff will raise the duty on bar iron from 4.21 to 95 per cent. Our exports of iron and steel, exclu sive of cutlery, constitute 1-15th of our trade with the United States, and as we know that a similar effect will be produced on our cotton and all other trade, the prospect in the manufacturing districts must become more dreary every day. At Birmingham, we are told, several establish ments have already intimated their intention to reduce their present complement of clerks and servants, and from 150 to 200 additional hands will cease to find employment in the course of the week. The events from which we had anticipated an increase of our traffic, will un fortunately operate the other way, and the peace and security we have, as it were, bestowed On the United States, will enable them to extend their domestic industry without giving a corre sponding extension to our own. These unfortu nate circumstances are plainly the consequences, not of our diplomacy, but of our own domestic arrangements, and the community would be much more benefited by our Contemporaries turning their attention from abusing the late treaty, to rectify our own faulty legislation. We have laid befor eour readers proofs from and inflicted the iron the woollen, th e cotton,lo dis tricts, of a great i n j ury three branches of ou r trade bya on foolish th lair enacted in a foreign country in retaliation of a foolish or wicked law enacted at home. Where inflictingmode of maki ng war, and this new m utual injury by legislation, is to end we cannot foresee, but we can inform the people of both hemispheres that they must strangle the restric tive system, or it will suon strangle prosperity, and put peace to flight. We cannot imagine what object certain writers have in view by denouncing, day after day, the treaty concluded between this country and America, and heaping abuse on Lord ASH BURTON, as if he had betrayed his country. These articles are of no ordinary length, for they extend occasionally to two or three columns, and the authors, like great talkers, seem to for get at the end what they said at the beginning. Is it their object to induce the Government to reject the treaty, or have they recourse to all this "sound and fury " with a view to excite hostility to the Government, and keep up a bad feeling between the two countries? We fear the latter are the real causes. They cannot imagine that a treaty in_ volving so many points, to which there cannot be any reasonable objection, is to be annulled, because Canada has obtained a smaller portion of the disputed territory than was originally claimed; or that the British Government could with a good grace refuse the line which the %Vhigs were willing to accept ten years ago. Since that period the difficulties of settling the dispute have been daily on the increase, the American settlers in the neighbourhood have become more numerous, and the value of the districts to which they consider thenuelyes entitled has consequently increased to a great extent. If the American Government, therefore, were not disposed to accept the offer made by Lord GREY'S Government, it could not reason ably be expected to accept less favourable con ditions now, and the result would be, that this dangerous question would remain open, England would he forced to keep a large army in Canada, and in a few years, probably, the two countries would be involved in a destructive war. England can afford to be generous. No nation can accuse her of truckling to other Powers, or of any want of courage when her rights or character are concerned ; and if by this treaty peace can be preserved, the people of England and of America will alike regard it as a blessing. While on this subject we may refer to the correspondence published in another part of the paper, in relation to the American prisoners banished to Van Diemen's Land. Mr. WEBSTER, in his reply to a letter on the subject, signed by certain citizens, states that he will communicate it to Lord ASHBURTON, and that he has the strongest hope that it will be effectual in obtaining the pardon of these misguided men. We trust it will be successful, and that the amnesty will also be extended to the Canadian convicts. The Madrid journals of the 14th instant state that the prospects of the Ministry are brighten ing. The Junta of the Centralized Debt of Madrid have offered to advance the Finance Minister three millions of reals; the Bank Di rectors are to supply six millions more, so that the clamorous officials will now receive their arrears of salary.

A pamphlet published by General BUGEAUD, Governor-General of Algeria, on the coloniza- tion of French Africa, is the subject of much comment in the French journals of Wednesday. According to the General's account, the war is nut yet half over, for France cannot retain the coast without taking possession of the interior of the country, and covering it with military colo nies. To retain the country France must keep in Africa a force of 80,000 men. Since 1831 the army in Africa has been increased from 17,000 to 70,000 men. The General describes the interior of the country as very fine, and ex ceedingly fertile. He considers that if his plan of conquest be properly carried out, the colony will inaintaie itself without any assistance from France. We doubt this. The Regency, as it is called, cannot be made to defray its own ex penses during the lifetime of the present genera tion. The revenue raised in Algeria, in 1837, fell short of three millions of francs, and, notwi th. standing the dreadful razzias of 1841, when whole villages were nightly plundered and burned by the French, and all the cattle carried off, the produce from every source did not amount to nine millions of francs. Where is the prospect here of defraying the expenses of an army of 80,000 men, independently of the charges of the civil service ? The following are the remarks of the National upon the subject : M. Bugsaud's plan appears to us to want a good foundation, and we are of opinion, that in order that Africa may produce us something, it is necessary, above all, to raise contributions from the Arabs. The Governor-General, in fact, touches on this question, and explains what men and means ought to be em ployed in the operations known by the name of razzias. We are sorry, we confess, to• find such an expression proceeding from the pen of a man who has the honour of commanding a French army. The razzias, which most frequently supplied a ground work for the pompous bulletins of our staff in Africa, are, in fact, most deplorable things, of which, for the honour of France, we ought to hasten to destroy all traces, if we do not wish to resemble the English pilferers„ levying contributions on the coasts of China. There is not, besides, a single officer of sense and feeling who d oes n ot acknowledge that the razzias are a cause of demoralisation for the army and of weakness in its discipline, without being a source of revenue worth speaking of for the Government. In order that the colony should be sufficient for its own wants, and give some compensation for the enor mous sacrifices which we are forced to make, other means must be sought than those proposed by M. Bugeaud. And will they be found? or, if found, will they be put in execution? Will Africa cease to be regarded as a camp, where favourite officers go to seek a means of advancement? We do not think these things will be witnessed, but at least we ought to be obliged to M. Bugeaud for having endeavoured to find them. The allusion to the conduct of England in China is coarse and ill-natured, but not happy. It should have been intimated that before ac cepting the Canton ransom, our merchants were illegally plundered of millions of pounds worth of property. What did the Arabs take from the French which could only be repaid by razzias? Nor is the acceptance of the ransom of a city to be placed in the category of crimes with the midnight massacre of the inhabitants of sleeping villages. The Coninzerce, in adverting to the pamphlet of General BUGEAUD, says : The Government and the public ought to hold themselves c are f u ll y on t h e i r guar d aga i ns t th e ima gination of the Governor-General; he is subject to error, and unfortunately the experience of this fact does not tend to diminish hi s excess i ve con fid ence , or the impetuosity of his affirmation. General Bu geaud s pamphlet has on l y strengthened a conviction which we have long entertained-Lthat by the severity and rude energy o f hi s command, he might be serviceable in keeping down the Arabs —no very difficult work, by the way, with the immense means he has at his disposal— but that he is not endowed with any of the qualities of the organizer, the statesman, the political econo mist, and the cool observer, which are so necessary for compassing the colonization, the civil, agricultural, and manufacturing constitution of Africa. M. Bugeaud, in fact, only sees a possibility of prosperity for the colony in military rule. It is in the army that he places the elements of government and coloniza tion; the colonists are but mere accessories. His system may be found in the following extract from his work—' An army of sufficient strength will govern the country, receive the taxes, and favour commercial speculation.'" Letters from Algiers of the 10th inst. state that the French in Africa are likely to have a trouble some winter of it. Many of the tribes who were submissive while their crops were on the ground, having now secured their harvest, are rising in arms against the French. General BUGEAUD will find plenty of employment during the winter besides pamphleteering. But the General fitneies himself a statesman as well as a warrior, and that he wields the pen as potently as he does the sword. We subjoin what other items of news we find in the French journals : AI. Dupuch, Bishop of Algiers, is expected very shortly in France. The Prelate is then to return to Pavia, to fetch the celebrated relic of St. Augustin, granted by the civil and ecclesiastical authorities of the country. His Holiness Gregory XVI. has ad. dressed a most encouraging and flattering brief on the subject to M. Dupuch. The French Government grants a man-of-war to convey this treasure to Algiers with all military honours. The keeping of the pre cious relic will be entrusted to the Trappists.—Ga zette de France.

Spain say that General Zurhano, after visitil!g all the fortresses in Upper Catalonia, had returned to Gerona, where a brilliant serenade was given him on occasion of his receiving the Grand Cross of Isabella the Catholic. The Municipality of Bilboa, in consequence of a dispute with the military authorities, has offered its resignation in a body. - The Journal du Havre, after giving a detailed ac count of the unhappy shipwreck of the Leopoldina Rosina, on the east coast of Uruguay, adds : " Two hundred and thirty-one passengers, chiefly women and children, were victims of this disaster. Only 72 escaped, as it were, by a miracle, and were taken on hoard the French schooner L'Eclair. The latter speaks in great praise of the firm and generous conduct of Don Vicento Acosta, and Don Natalor Molino, whose presence at the spot where the ship wreck was, checked the violence of the Gauchos, and protected them in their distress from further mo lestation."

SEPT. 8.--The richest man in Dantzic, John Christopher Grass, has just died, in his 72d year, and the first house in Dantzic (Lubienski and Co.), has been obliged to call its creditors together. Before taking this resolution, an express was sent to Warsaw to the noble relations and to the Polish Bank, with which the house has been closely connected ever since its establishment ; and it was not till a refusal to assist was received that this decisive step was taken. It is said that the house purckased in the course of last winter five or six thousand lasts of wheat in the interior of Poland, at high prices, part of which is still there, because the river Bieg is too shallow for the corn vessels to come down, and that the recent losses may amount to 600,000 dollars. But few houses here are losers, and those to only a moderate amount ; foreign houses in Hamburgh, London, Odessa, and Warsaw, are said to be great sufferers. GOTHENBURG, SEP. 12.—An express from Lille Edet (on the Gota-Elf, or Trolhatta Canal) brought yesterday the melancholy i n t e lli g ence that all the water-works at that place wer e destroyed by fire on Saturday night. The fire broke out in the mill, which was burnt in three hours, as well as some large saw mills, and the whole stock of deals already sawed. Ile damage exceeds 100,000 dollars banco (not in cluding the stock of timber) which is mostly insured in England. Happily th e wind blew towards the town, otherwise all th e d we lling houses would have been burnt. ______—. ACCIDENT TO THE MAIL TRAIN ON THE NORT H UNION RAILWAY.—A s t h e u p London mail train, which passes through P reston a t three o'clock in the morning' was proceeding on tts journey via Wigan, it came, when about three or four miles from the l a tter place, in Contact with some c ows which had strayed on the line up to C o ppall. On examination it was found that t wo o f t h em were killed, one of the carriages being thrown off the line, and drawn in that state for more than 100 something wrong, stopped the train as soon as pos sible. It was im me di ately asce rtained that no ma terial injury was yards. The engineer, finding done to the passeng ers, altho ugh some of them wer e muc h a l arme d, particularly those in the latter carri age, which was the one thrown off the line. Althou g h there and a luggage t ra i n coming IIP many cows, and also were a horse, stra gg li ng on the ra i lwa y, yet they all escaped uninjured exc e pt t h e two before - m entioned, which were quite dead. Th e morning was an extremely dark one, in the opposite direc tion at the ti rna of the accident, made it almost a miracle that n o f urt h er damag e was sustained. The carriage throw n off the line was u nhooked from the others, and left behind, and the pas sen g ers occu py in g it requested to t a k e t h e i r sea t s in the other carriages ; but, although they were then only about five miles from Wigan—th e p l ace o f their destination — it was with the greate s t diffi cu l ty that any of them could obtain accommodation amongst the other passengers in the train. To such a pitch was this incivility car ried, that one gentleman o n soliciting admittance into a carriage which t h e passen gers objected to his were from en tering, found a seat tota ll y unoccupied. Two or three others w ere allowed, comptehe Guild,l compelled oraidteproensttohne. , as a favour, to sit amongst so me ladies, and five engine -tender th e rema i n d er of the distance.

It seems that, with a thousand horse and proportionate number of infantry, he surprised General Lamoriciere near Mascara, and fought an action, in which the French were, of course, vic torious. But the circumstances were serious enough to induce General Bugeaud to embark for Oran, from whence he will send a new exped.thn. The Constitutionnel has discovered that the right of search and the suppressibn of the slave-trade have been rendered lucrative by us, the negroes seized being distributed amongst our colonies. The French cruisers, it says, never once within the last two years intercepted or captured a slave vessel. This is cer tainly a proof of the vigilance of the French cruisers. The 'Commerce gives the following intelligence from Toulon It appears by letters from Africa, received by the last courier, that a certain number of tribes had pretended to place themselv , s under our protection merely to save their harvest. Now that the corn is safely placed in their silos, they throw off the mask. They will have occasion to repent their treachery, for the Governor-General is preparing to punish them severely. The Messager says—" For some time past a dis cussion has been going on in some of the Journals, relative to the gum-trade at Senegal, and the mea sures taken by the local authorities to regulate this commerce. The question is well worthy of the im portance attached to it, and is likely to be speedily decided, as the committee, just appointed by the Minister of Marine, is to meet on Friday, and will in all probability terminate its deliberations in the be ginning of October." Since the conclusion of the linen convention be tween France and Belgium (writes a Hanover corre spondent of the Franconian Mercury), our kingdom has been inundated with all sorts of articles of British hempen and flaxen manufactures. It would seem as if it was intended systematically to annihilate our linen manufactures generally. Hanover now appears to be the entrepot chosen by the English manufac turers. Our country is overrun with travellers and agents of that nation, who not only sell these articles but take orders for more. The principal object of these emissaries is to indispose the people against the German Customs' Union, and hitherto their exertions have been crowned with success. Most of the sea-bathing places in France and other countries appear to have had an excellent season this year, in consequence of the long-continued fine weather. This has been the case at Boulogne, Havre, and Dieppe, particularly the latter ; and, according to the Feuile d' Ostende, that town has been favoured with an immense number of visitors. The journal alluded to declares that not less than 40,000 persons have so journed for different periods during the summer at Ostend. The Swiss journals state that a deputation of the merchants df Basle intend to wait on the King of Prussia. on his passage through their city, in order to ask his Maj es ty h ow th e accession of the Helvetic Confederacy to the German Customs' Union could be effected. In a Madrid letter of the 14th we read :—" The Minister of Finances has regained some favour from two reasons. In the first place he has succeeded in raising a little money, and secondly, he has dismissed two persons holding high offices, who, without pity for the treasury, committed the most disgraceful mal versations. The amount raised by the Minister, however, is too small to satisfy the claimants. The troops murmur, and it is reported that the Colonel of one of the regiment- in garrison here has threatened to resign, if at least a small portion of the arrears due to his officers and men be notpaid." A fatal duel, fought in Cadiz, was the all engross ing subject of conversation in the Spanish capital. Senor Reisch, the political chief of Cadiz, having taken offence at some articles in the Globo journal, sent a hostile message to the editor, Senor Llorente. Senor Reisch, after several shots had been fired with out effect, proposed that they should fire at "clothes burning proximity," which was agreed to. The toss to see who should fire first having been won by the journalist, he made a movement to discharge his pistol in the air, when his opponent declared that if he did so he should still insist on his shot at him and kill him if he could. Senor Llorente, to save his own life, wa s obliged to fire, and shot Senor Reisch through the heart. A report having been current that, notwithstanding the amnesty of 1838, several hundred Italians, con demned for political offences, were still in prison in the fortress of Szegedin, in Hungary, the Augsburg Gazette publishes a letter from Milan, stating that not one political prisoner remains in that fortress. iVZONEY-TRADE-COMMERCE. The alteration in the duty on stage-coaches comes into operation on the 3d of October next, when it is reduced from 3d. to 11d. per mile. At anchester the weavers are gradually returning to work, and the turn-out may be said to have ended. In Bolton, however, 1,400 hands are still out. AGRICULTUZELL. Hop-picking is now very generally closing ; the produce in Maidstone is much better than was ex pected, and the quality first-rate. NAVAL AND I%IXLITATIY. The ship Leopoldina Rosina, containing 303 emi grants bound for the plains of Uruguay, was wrecked last May when within a few leagues of Monte Video ; 231 passengers perished, and only 72 escaped as if by miracle. . A very handsome silver medal has been ordered to be struck by the Admiralty, to be presented as re • wards to engineers of the first class, serving in her Majesty's navy, who by reason of ability or good con duct deserve such a mark of esteem. All the barrack-masters in Ireland have received notification that 7d. in the pound (Income-tax) would be deducted out of their last half-year's salary. LAW AND POLICE, The adjourned inquest at Salford on the body of Joshua Lyons was resumed on Thursday, and a ver dict of " Justifiable homicide" returned. On Thursday Alexander Levy, and Maria his wife, together with Easter Pasque, were charged at Guild hall with conspiring to defraud Mr. John Gallouin of Dods to a large amount. They were remanded till onday. Michael Rowan and Thomas Allen, were onThursday .brought up at Lambeth-street for final examination, charged with a daring highway robbery, accompanied with violence, on the person of Mr. John Allan, in Whitechapel. They were fully committed. _ WINE Al TS. The Glasgow Society for the Blind, on the occasion of her Majesty's visit to Scotland, knitted a hassock, in silk and worsted, for a sofa pillow, lined with satin and fringed, as also a playball for the Prince of Wales. They were presented at Tay mouth Castle, when her Majesty commissioned four similar ones to be made, besides making a pecuniary present to the institution. LITEStAI?Y • IVO -. SCZE =PIC. M.

Lord Dinorben's new mansion at Kinmel Park is being rapidly rebuilt on the plan of the old hall before the conflagration. On Friday last, Elizabeth Brook, of Wooldale, was robbed of 3101. in notes and gold by a party of gipsies. And at Edinburgh, also, on Thursday, a gentleman was robbed of a pocket-book, containing 4241. in notes and other securities. At the late Falkirk Tryst, West Highland cattle, to the value of 8001., were purchased by an agent for her Majesty, for pasturing in the Royal Parks. THE MARQUIS 'WELLESLEY.

The annexed is the bulletin issued on Thursday : " The Marquis Wellesley has passed a good night, and is improved, in strength to-day, and is better in every respect. " Kingston House, Sept. 22, 1842." HANOVER, SEPT. 17.—His Majesty the King, re turned this morning, at a quarter before twelve, to this city, from Dusseldorf. His Majesty has per fectly recovered from his late illness. jj a n uL ;L: iV ~'i CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. If there were any alteration to be noticed in the market at the close of business, it would be that prices were not quite so firm. As if to confirm the. opinion held this morning, a few sales of a very trifling extent caused Consols to leave off at 924 92i for Money, and 93 sellers for the Account. India Stock, 249 251 ; Exchequer Bills Old, 51 53 ; New, 49 51 premium. The chief feature in Foreign Securities was a fur the depression in Dutch Bonds, upon the supposition that a further loan is about to be contracted for. The highest amount of it which has yet been named is half a million sterling, and as there can be no cliubt but that if it be actually required it would be easily raised in the country itself, it is somewhat difficult to ascertain the precise cause for the prices declining here. Two-and-a-Half per Cents., closed at 52/1 52i ; the Five per Cents., 102 1021; Bel gian, 102 103; Danish, 83 84; and Brazilian, 66 67. The quotation for Mexican was 344 354.

An Evening Contemporary in referring to the navy contract mentioned in the second edition of The Sun of this evening, concludes 'that the decline in prices between the present and former contracts is to be solely attributed to the effect of the tariff upon the home market. Such, however, is incorrect. It may be safely considered that a large proportion of the beef and pork thus about to be supplied will really be of foreign and not of British curing From all that has been ascertained of the quality of the one and of the other, but little difference exists, and when the duty is once paid, and the contents of the casks repacked into sditable tierces and barrels, it will not be an easy task to discriminate between American snd English pork. From the period when America was a Go vernment monopoly to the present time, many thou sands of simulated packages and marks have been annually imported and shipped to and from this country, and the practice cannot now be easily stopped. But this contract has been more especially noticed, from the fact, that it demonstrates that the poorer classes will for the future be enabled to purchase pro visions at a much lower rate than formerly, in con sequence of the importation of foreign produce. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The Funds remain in the same quiet state as to the amount of business as they have done for several days past. In the expectation of a further advance in price, the jobbers, at th e last account, took in large parcels of stock, the greater part of which they still hold, and until the remainder shall have been absorbed by a demand for. investment, which will not occur to any extent until after the payment of the October dividends, but little speculation can be ex pected. The present easy rate at which money can be procured, offers another inducement to them to hold in preference to selling, it being far below the interest derivable from the Funds, and the decline which must necessarily take place, were any large amount to be pressed upon the market. Consols are 924 92* for Money, and 93 sellers for the Account; New Three and-a-Half per Cents., 100 k 101; India Stock, 249 251 ; India Bonds, 36 37 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 51 53; New, 49 51 prem.

The quotation for Mexican Bonds is 35*. In the Share Market purchases have been more ex tensive.

The bonds quoted to. day, are Sp an i s h Five per Cents, 164, and the Three per Cents, 211. The operation of that part of the tariff relative to provisions, has been seen practically, for the first time, in the contract, made vesterday by the Navy Board. It presents two remarkable features, one in the reduc tion in price, which is equal to about 14d. per lb. in pork, and rather more than Id. on the beef, a saving of nearly 42,0001. upon 260,0001., which would have been the amount at the old prices. The other, is the circum - stance of the parties who have contracted for the greater part being foreigners, thereby leading to the supposition that it will be imported from America or the Continent, with both of which the firm in ques tion is connected.

The programme of the fetes which will take place at Brussels on the 12th Anniversary of the Days of September is published. The Princess Sophia Matilda of Gloucester is now staying at Piermont House, Broadstairs. SHARP PRACTICE.—A few days ago at the horse fair of Machecoul, a gendarme, named Montagne, having had his attention directed . to a deserter, who had long evaded arrest, and who had committed a number of robberies in the country, and was also sus pected of murder, went up to him and ordered hi m , t o surrender. The deserter resisted, and a struggle en , sued, in which both parties came to the ground, The gendarme called on the crowd to assist him, but not a man stirred. After a desperate contest Montag ne contrived to draw his sword, and placing it on the breast of the deserter, declared he would pierce him through the body if he stirred. The deserter, con tinuing to struggle, and having struck the gendarme with great violence, the latter plunged his sword into his body, and killed him on the spot. On rising up, he again called on the bystanders to aid him in taking the body to the station of the gendarmerie, b u t thi s was refused. He then went to his office, and having made his report, gave himself into custody. He hy, since been removed to the prison of Nantes.
