BRUSSELS, SEPT. 14.—The average price of wheat last week was 22f. 50e., and that of Rye, 13f. 57c. per hectolitre, wheat is therefore still exempt from import-duty, while Rye is liable to import duty of 21f. 50c. for 1,000 kilogramme's. The export duty on both is only 25 centimes per 1,000 kilogrammes, (2,0001b5.) The Senate, which: was to meet yesterday for the dispatch of business, was not able to do anything, only twenty Members being present. It appears to be finally settled that the inauguration of the bridge of Val Benoit, and of the iron railway to the Prussian frontiers, will take place during the September fetes, and that to give more eclat to the ceremony, the contractors of the railway from Liege to Perpignan, will exert themselves to complete th e portions of the works from, the bridge of Val Benoit to that of Chenee. This portion .will have to be opened at the same time. It is a pity that the inau guration cannot take place as far as to Chardfontaine ; but it seems that some new works have been ordered which will delay the completion of this part.

Taylor and Richards, situate in James-street,, Kennington. The fire broke out in the wadding-room, and, from the light and inflammable nature of ifs contents, the whole was speedily in a blaze. An alarm was immediately given, and messengers were dispatched to the different fire stations for the engines. Unfortunately, however, it was found impossible to subdue the fire until the whole of the building, with the valuable machinery and other con tents, were iestroyed. It is not at present correctly known how the fire originated, and, to add to the Ca lamity, Messrs. Taylor and Richards are not insured. This is the third time within the last two years that Messrs. Taylor and Company have been sufferers from dikmotcre, THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1842 INTELLIG ENt ,LIE. BANKRUPTCY.-(THS DAY). IN THE INIATTBR OF ROBERT ROLLO.

Mr. Scarborough lent the bank rupt va-ions sums of money, for which be gave him several mining shares as security. These loans were handed into Court this day, but it was contended that Mr. Atolierts' proof should not be admitted until the claini of • Mr. Scarborough was proved to be bona fide.

SlR,—The quiet and right-thinking occupiers of houses in the vicinity of Kennington-common have been for a long period subjected to a prominent grievance, arising from the indecorous proceedings which take place there on Sundays, and a check to which, it would appear, is not within the reach of local magisterial influence, or police regulations. Under such circumstances the Press is the only channel through which such objectionable proceed ingsican be conta•olled, by indignantly putting before the public the obvious tendency of such unseemly exhibitions. It has been, and still is, the practice of a set of ignorant, illiterate, and haggard individuals, to assume the character of being fitted to explain Scriptural matters, for which purpose they take up positions in different parts of the Common, and there hold forth, showing by their ignorance, vulgarity, and presumption, how entirely unfitted they ar e f or such vocation. These feeble attempts being ended, discussions follow as if unpremeditated, but which, in truth, are commenced, and carried on, by persons congregated for that express purpose. Offensively disgusting opinions are promulgated in a strain of mischievous ribaldry, which young persons especially, who might perchance be on the, spot, ought not to be exposed to hear. The characters of the persons who take an active part may reasonably be inferred from the exhibition made by one of,them.in the proceedings at the Surrey Sessions on Tuesday last. This wretched animal, Thomas Cain, a retired master mason, by his own unblushing admissions, regularly on Sundays attends and speaks in a tent designated as belonging to the Christian Instruction Society, upon " theological and philosophical" (as he modestly expressed himself) subjects. His appearance at the police-office was for the purpose, of charging two young girls with having robbed him of a watch, &c. Fray, Sir, expose this execrable Mockery of sacred considerations by drawing the indignant notice of the public. to the hypocrisy of the actors in such. scenes. A HOUSEKEEPER. Kennington-common, Sept : 15, 1842. DISCOVERY ON SABLE ISLAND. The Halifax papers of last week publish the fol lowing singular discovery :—The following facts have beon made known to us by a gentleman. of this city, who has had his information from the best authority —viz., Capt. Darby, sen., Governor (as he is called) of Sable Island. For the last 25 or 30 years tVere has been a large mound or pyramid of sand about l 00 feet high, on the island, and not very far from the residence of Captain Darby. The winds for some years have been gradually diminishing its height, and after a severe blow some weeks since it was completely blown away; and, singular to say,.a number of small houses, built of the timbers and planks of a vessel, were quite visible. On examination they were found to contain a number of articles of furniture and stores, put up in boxes, which were marked " 43d Regiment;" the boxes or eases were perfectly rotten, and would not admit of their being removed. A brass dog-collar was, however, discovered by Captain Darby, with the name of " Major Elliot, 43d Regiment," on it, and which Captain Darby brought to the city, and presented to Major Tryon, who belongs to the 43d Regiment.—Halifax Herald:. Captain Darby has endorsed this extraordinary announcement. Ad dressing the editor of the Herald, on Wednesday, he says :—" The houses are appearing at the base of a hill about two miles long, and 60 or 70 feet high, lying parallel with the south coast of the island ; the eastern end of which hill is about 55 feet high, covered with grass and other vegetation, about 35 feet below the surface, and 23 above the level of the sea ; these houses appear as the sands. wear-away with the action of the winds. There appeared at times numerous bullets of lead, a great number of military shoes, parts of bales of blankets, and cloths, brass points of sword scabbards, bees-wax, a small convex glass on both sides, a copper halfpenny of George 11., dated 1749, some military brass buckles, a, great number of brass paper pins, a very small dog's brass collar, with 'Major Elliot, 43d regiment,' engraved on it; numerous bones, some whole and. some broken, with the scalp of hair and head-dress of a young female, a piece of gold band. There are three build ings, which seem to have been constructed of the fragments of some ship ;. they are situated about 10 feet apart, in a triangular form,' and are 10 or 12 feet square." TIIE QUEEN AT BANNOCKBURN.--At a little dis tance from Stirling, close by the village of St. Ninian's, the road taken by the Royal cortege skirts the field of Bannockburn ; and her Majesty saw th , 3 spot so fatal to the invaders of a free country by the defeat of the whole power of England. A standard (the union jack) floated proudly from a staff fixed close by the " bored stane," the stone on which tradition still asserts that " the Bruce" planted his banner on the morning of the eventful day which gave his country freedom and him self the undisputed sovereignty of 'his people. Further on her road the place was pointed out to her Majesty where Randolph, Earl of Murray, and Sir Robert Clif ford fought that deadly fight, which gives the spot to this day the name of " Randall's Field." The " Gillies' Hill," whereon the camp-followers of the Bruce's army appeared, to the great dismay of the English forces, during the battle of Bannockburn, changing confusion to total discomfiture and rot*; tead " Beaton's Mill," the scene of the murder of Jame.%.. 111., after the battle of Saughieburn, also attracted her Majesty's at tention, as the Royal procession passed rapidly along the road to Falkirk. At a little distance from the burgh is the " Torwood," where Wallace concealed him self in the bottom of an old oak tree, in his hour of ex tremity and distress ; and it was no doubt present in her Majesty's mind, is she looked on this celebrated spot,• that it was there Donald Cargill, of dissenting memory, had excommunicated Charles the Second and his brother, James Duke of York, in the midst of the Covenanters. RISING GENIUSES IN AMERICA.—SCENE IN A SCHOOL ROOM.—Master—" Fuss class 'n jegrafee !" Scholars—" Yeth'er." Master—" Tummas, what's the biggest river in Ameriky ?" " The Tombigbee, zar ; Ike keeps a pinchin' on me." • " Ile pincht me first, zar, and I pincht him back again." " Take yer seats ; fuss class in parsin' !" " Yeth'er." " Moses, parse Ar kansas'—sixth line from top." "A-r-k ark, a-n-s arkans, a-s ass, Arkansas." " Pronounce it Arkan saw ; but Moses, you aint spellin'—yer parsin child." " o,' yeth'er, Harkandshaw,' is a noun, objectiv case, indicativ mood, comparativ degree, third and in nomi nativ case to scizzars." "You bav'nt said what gender, Moses."—" Feminine gender." " Why ?"—" Corzitz —" " Next !" " Denno." " Next !" " Corzitz a fe male." "Next !" "Forgotten, zar." " Come, David, you know ?" " Yeth'er.' "Nell, why is Arkansas of the feminine gender, David?" "Corzitz, why corzitz got Miss Soury on the north, Louisa Anna on the souf, Mrs. Sippy on the east, and ever so many more she-females on the west." " Very well, David, you may go to the head; you're a rising genius, and 'll make a man before yer mother." " Yeth 'er." COACH AccIDENT.—An accident occurred on Mon day evening to the Hendon and Mill-hill coach, on its return from town. When descending Golders-hill, on the north side of Hampstead-heath, the coach, drawn by three horses, came in contact with a fly, which the driver had drawn across the road on the wrong side, and which he neglected to draw aside, notwithstanding the repeated calls to him by the driver of the coach to do so. The consequence was the immediate upset of the coach, for the shock, which was not sufficient to overthrow the fly (a common one horse Heath fly) ; broke the pole short asunder at its junction with the bed of the carriage. Most providentially the first plunge of the horses forced the traces over the roller bolts, and they were clear of the coach. The passengers thus escaped the certain destruction which would other wise have overtaken them, lying, as they were (those who had been outside, seven in number, four young women and three gentlemen), immediately in the way of the coach, which fell across the road. There were fire inside passengers, but all escaped with contusions, with the exception of the housekeeper of Mr. Kerr, of Mill-hill, whose collar bone was broken. The most serious injury was Suffered by one of a party of young women who were riding on donkeys at the foot of the hill ; her arm was.broken and her head terribly cut by the run-away horses, who, with the pole at their heels, galloped furiously about the road. Lord Denman has appointed Alfred Austin, Esq., of Sergeant's Inn, to revise the list of voters in the Borough of Marylebone. In Marylebone the lists will be unusually heavy, there being nearly 1,500 claims and objections. It is understood, that Mr. Austin, like his predecessors, Messrs. Coventry and Falconer, will also revise the lists for the Tower Hamlets and Borough of Finsbury. At the dinner table every p"vening, at Drummond Castle, her Majesty always sat on the right of Lord Willoughby, with his Royal Highness Prince Albert on the other side, Lady Willoughby sitting next to the Prince. The following rather extraordinary account appears in several of the Paris journals :—" Some fifteen years ago, a young woman was 'married at Pi er i n , i n th e Cotes du Nord, to a seafaring man, who soon after wards went to sea in a ship which was lost, and every soul on board, as it was believed, perished. After the legal lape of time, the supposed widow married again, and her Eeconil husband, having committed a felony, was in a short time condemned to hard labour at the hulks. He being thus civilly dead, she tot*. unto herself a third, and he haS recently died. Soon after her death, the first husband returned, having saved himself from the wreck, and lived for several years the life of Robinson Crusoe, upon a desert island. Thus, had he made his appearance a little earlier, the good Woman would have found herself with three husbands alive upon the earth, without having been guilty of bigamy, or, wh a t per h aps we might call, double bigamy,' DREADFtL ACCIDENT TO COLONEL 'ATHERTON.— Yesterday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, a dreadful accident occurred to Lieutenant-Colonel Lither ton, residing in Gloucester-place, Portman-square.

He said he recollect e d th e d ay o f th e a tt ac k on Mr. Shep- • ley's rpill. Witness bad been from hom e that morn ing; and returned about one o'clock.

Witness—l have told, as near as I can, what I heard you say. A Magistrate—Do you believe he said" that he went with the people ?—l'll not be certain he mentioned the people, but I understood him to mean that he went with the crowd of people to Mr. Shepley's mill. Mr. Rhodes, a gentleman residing at Entwistle, about two miles from Mr. Shepley s mill, deposed that when within a quarter of a mile Of the' spot he heard the noise of the attack on Mr. Shepley s mill. About two minutes after the breaking the windows witness heard the guns fire. There were reports of three guns, and between the second and third firing about two minutes elapsed, and between the first and second about one minute. Witness then went to the Gun Inn, and there saw a person who had been shot in the thigh. He did not think it was any of the pri soners. Witness then went towards Brookfield, and on 'his way passed thrOugh a crowd who were carry ing a wou n d e d person, w h om he believed to be the prsoner Winterbottom. He a ppeared faint and much exhausted, and blood was running through the ban dages on his hand. When he arrived at Mr. Shepley's witness found the military there, and the family of Mr. Sh e pl ey i n a state of great alarm. Witness should think the mob was composed of between 4,000 and 5,000 people. Their conduct and language were very out rageous , so as to occas i o n much alarm. 1t was said Mr. Shepley ought to be hanged, and they would have his life. The women were particularly violent. Mr. R. Beswick, chief superintendent of the M.an ehester police, deposed to taking the prisoners into custody under warrants. He removed "Wmterbottom and Iry from the infirmary on the sth inst. On their way to the New Bailey, Winterhottom said, in the presence of Fry, that he had joined the people st Staleybridge, ,and had g one to Sh e pley's mill at Glossop. He also said, we told Mr. Shepley to turn out his hands;, we did not wish to harni him; he came to the door, and pulled the trigger of a pistol twice ; it was old Mr. Shepley. 'w e aid not think he was going to shoot us. He then brought a double barrelled gun, and shot me and Fry: We were standing together. W e wanted to take t h e gun from him. I had nothing to do with the mills. have done as the m as t ers at Staleybridge not allowed , He should the hands to go to wor k w h en all were o ut. On the 7th, witness apprehended Smith in Salford. He at first said his name was James Wright, but after wards admitted it was Smith, and that he had been shot at Shepley's mill, and had had the ball extracted from his shoulder at the Salford Dispensary, which witness found was the case. He stated that he had come into the street that • being taken. mornin g for the purpos e of Mr. Shepley was next examined. He deposed as follows :—I recollect th e attack on my m ill on th e 30th of August. About five o'clock that morning, as some men passed the mill, they said they should have plenty of company that day from Hyde and Staley bridge, and that they would level the mill. I then sent oft' my son to Glossop for the military. Between 10 and 11 o'clock a crowd stopped opposite the door. One,of them said I would be attacked, on which I showed them that I was armed with pistols, and told them I was prepared to defend my se lf. They then went away a short distance, and on turning round, I saw a large mob about halt' a mile off, on the road, coming towards the factory. Xstopped the engine of the factory, collected about fifteen of my hands who were sworn in as special constableq, and stood in the road in front of the mill. Th e mob had then crossed over Woolley-bridge, and they commenced running, and shouting and making the most terrifying noise. I fetched a double-barrelled gun out of the house, and met them in the road, I told them several times, if they came I should most assuredly fire on them. Some stones were then thrown from the back part of the mob. I then retreated until I got int o the warehouse, pre vious to which I was struck with stones three or four times on the head and both', and some of the special constables were also struck. Immediately the windows on each side of the warehouse door were broken, and the door was beaten against by some heavy instrument. Before the attack, I had repeatedly heard the persons passing the m ill say it would be pulled down. lam satisfied that the mill would have been destroyed if we had not resisted, and I believe our lives were at that time in great danger. 1 then struck two locks of a double-barrelled (run, but both missed lire. I had repeatedly warned the rioters that I would fire on them. Another gun was then given to me, and I pointed that twice before I pulled the trigger. After I had fired the first barrel two or three hands seized the gun, and tried to pull it out of my hands. I then took a pistol from Inv pocket and fired it. I fired also the other barrel of the gun. In a short time afterwards I opened the doOr, and found the mob was retreating towards 3lottram. Several of the rioters had attempted to gain admittance into the warehouse, but were beaten ba e k oy the hands. One of the co ns t a bl es had twoof his teeth knocked out. James Jackson, constable of Si naondal e corrobo rated the principal part of the evidence of Mr. Shepley. This was the person whose teeth wer e knocked out whilst attempting to prevent the moh from entering the mill. The prisoners were then fully committed for trial at the next Chester assizes, for rioting and beginning to demolish the premises.

The inquisition commenced at two o'clock, when Mr. BA nLow briefly addressed the Jury, Mr. Baker, who conducted the case, immediately called Charles James Beverley, who stated that he is a surgeon residing at Hackney, and is in the habit of seeing insane persons. Knows Major. Campbell. First saw him on the 23d of Dec., 1841, when he was brought by his brother, Dr. Campbell, to Whitmore house, Hoxton, as an insane person. Witness has since conversed with him as to the state of his mind, and has found him to be labouring und:r extraordinary delu sions. He is generally quiet in his demeanour, hut he is sometimes very violent. Ile is tinder the impres sif n that there are wire figures which tw:teh his face into various contortions, and compel him to swear against his will. He says these figures are in the room above him, and also concealed in the walls and chimney. , lle says that they are galvanic wires Ik believes that invisible beings converse with him from the chimney. Ile said that these beings had told him that witness had the power to set him at liberty. Witness said that he had not, and he then said that the spirits told him that witness's affirmation was a d—d lie. Mr. Jennings attended on behalf of the Major, to see what was going forward, without interfering. In consequence of this the Major was brought into the room and asked whether he wished any Counsel or legal assistance in the case. He replied that he did not, but wished to watch the proceedings himself. Ile was accordingly seated beside the Commissioner. In the meantime the. Major's brother having whis pered to Mr. Jennings, he undertook to attend to the case. Examination resumed—While the Major was at the Lunatic Asylum at Hoxton his brother came to see him, and he (the Major) said that it was not his brother, but an automaton with wire legs. He be. lieves that he is under sentence of death for an abo minable offence, which he said he committed in India, and that he is to be burnt alive. He has repeatedly asked witness to bleed him to death, in Order that he might escape burning alive. When he was informed of the fact that a commission was to be held to in quire as to his sanity, and asked if he would have Counsel, he requested to have paper to write his answer down. Witness gave him paper, and he wrote some rambling and unintelligible lines. The three notes now produced were written by the Major to the witness.—(They were read, and were full of incoherent expressions.) • The Major requested that he should be allowed to see these notes, and he read them aloud very collect edly and, distinctly. hr. Sutherland sworn—ls senior physician at St. Luke's Hospital. First saw the Major on the 9th of August, 1842. He was under the delusion that there was a wire figure at Hackney which communicated with wires connected with Whitmore-house. He said these acted on his face, and made him swear, and that there was a spirit at Hackney which worked the machine, and could compel him to answer any ques tion, and to sign his name to any paper it pleased. He said that the figure was a clerk at the India-house, and could deprive him of his pension, and that it had offered to set him free if he would give it a check for 500/. He said that he wrote checks for the figure, and laid them on the table, and they used to dis appear. Witness saw him again on the 9th of Sep tember, when he told witness that all he had said to him on the former occasion was nonsense, and that all their conversation had been written, word for word, in a book entitled "The Delusions of a Deluded Mouse." He said, that there was a great deal about Euphemia Darlington in the book, and that what they were say ing at the moment, and what would in future be said, was ;written in the' book 'Witness then asked him - if he knew by the hook what would be the decision of the Jury in his own case ; and he replied, that he had not yet come to that part. Witness saw him a third time, on the 14th instant., and asked him why he asked the attendant to cut his throat, and he re plied, that he wanted to get out of the house. He said, the residents at Whitmore-house never died, but that the place was made to wring delusions from per sons of feeble nerves, and that the place made people mad from the nature of its construction, and from a sort of freemasonry that was carried on. On being asked why he had offered to marry the niece of a Mrs. Austin, he said that Mrs. Austin had been in • strumental in getting him out of madhouses before, and would get him out of Whitmore-house if he bribed her. It was the opinion of witness that he had no lucid intervals, and that he would never recover the use of his senses. By the. Major—Do you consider that I am a lunatic ? Witness—l do. The Major—And not likely to recover, so as to be able to control myself or my property? Witness—Yes. The Major—Do you think I am speaking like a lunatic at this moment ? Witness—No; but you are still under the same delusions. Were I to probe them I should bring them forth. The Major—Whitmore-house is very old, and from its construction, calculated to deprive people of their reason, and make them mad. I was never under any delusions before I went to Whitmore-house. Mr. BARLOW—Did you notice any peculiarity in time formation of Whitmore-house ? The Major—No; but from its general nature it maddens people. Mr. BARLOW—Are the rooms large and light ? The Major—Yes, they are large and roomy ; but I have an uneasy sensation while I am in the house. Mr. BARLOW—Is there a garden to the house ? The Major—There is. Mr. BARLow—And do you feel the same sensation in the gard en ? Th e Major—l feel just the same. Mr. BARLOW then asked him about the wires which he was said to speak of, and he said, that he was not aware that there were any such wires, but from its form and construction the house made its in mates mad. Dr. Sutherland said, that he was of opinion that it would be dangerous to leave the Major at large, for he thought he would destroy himself. He had made several attempts at Whitmore-house. Charles Meddings examined—Resides at Whitmore house, where he is an attendant on the insane persons. Major Campbell is under all the delusions mentioned by the last witness, and also says his brother is Lord Courtenay. While witness was ~having him, he asked him to cut his throat, and had endeavoured to get the razor from witness to open a vein in his arm. 1)r. Campbell, the Major's brother by a different mother, was examined. He stated that the Major's mother was at present in Scotland, and his father had been dead some time. The Major is about 50 years of age. Witness conveyed him to Whitmore-house on the 23d of December. About three days before witness did so he (the Major) had' been suddenly seized with violent delirium, which increased daily. Witness was at the Oriental Club with him, when he said that a murder had been committed in the house where he lodged. This was the commencement of his delirium. The next day witness was out and re mained out until midnight. When witness came again next morning, the Major had gone into Oxford street with only his pantaloons on, and there was a crowd about him. Witness does not consider him fit to manage his property. This was the whole of the evidence. The room having been cleared, the Jury, after about five minutes deliberation, intimated to Mr. Barlow that they had agreed. The doors of the room were then opened, and the foreman of the Jury (Sir J. Hansler) said, "We fi n d that Andrew Mitchell Campbell is of unsound mind his own affairs; and h as and d n inscoapasiilicte o thef managing 2Zld (i December, 1841. W are of opinion that had Major Campbell not been placed in Whitmore-house, his intellect would have been im proved since ; and we strongly recommend that he be placed under the surveillance of two keepers, as pro posed by his brother ; and we think that, by proper care, he may yet become a useful member of society, and be competent to attend to his own affairs:" These recommendations will be carried into force. After some necessary forms had been gone through, the Commission then broke up. The income of Major Campbell is about 7001. per annum. He has been about 26 years in India, in the East India Company's service as a cavalry officer. Yesterday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, as a youth was fishing near the bridge, on the Peckham branch of the Surrey canal, he saw the body of a female floating. He instantly gave an alarm, and assistance being procured, the body was got out and conveyed to Camberwell workhouse. She is a remarkably fine young woman about 25 years of age. On examination a severe bruise was found on the bridge of the nose, a second on the left shoulder, and third near the right ear. It is supposed she is far advanced in pregnancy. She had on a black bonnet and gown ; but the only thing which is likely to lead to her indentity is a piece of paper (in which is enclosed a small smelling-bottle and a lock of hair), on which is written, " No. 60, Banner.square, St. Luke's." She had on white stockings, on the top of which were.the letters " S.H." The body awaits a Co roner's inquest. She appears to have been five or six day in the water. Between nine and ten o'clock, in the night of Friday last, a tire burst out in the village of llocrett, near Caen, in Normandy, which in a very short time raged with such fury that, although the fire-engines of Caen were sent down without delay, and the.river Odon sup plied abundance of water, the entire village was reduced to ashes. Little doubt is entertained that the fire was wilful, es it is known to have commenced in an uninha bited house. CIDER AND PERRY.—These delightful beverages (says a .correspondent of the Glouccsicr .

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING • : FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TlMlLS.—Nothin g has more surprised or amused the City capitalists of late than the announcement, in • the , Madrid papers, •of a project for the formation of a bank in Spain with British capital. On inquiry, how ever, the whole thing appears to rest on a very slender foundation,. and to be on the point of abandonment even by those who first started it. The history, of it may be described in a very few words. A certain concoctor, by profession' of banking and other joint stc,ck projects, contri ve d to impress about a dozen gentlemen in the City with the notion, that Spain was a good field for the transfer of a certain amount of British capital, to be employed in the trade of bank ing; and they consented consequently to subcribe 301. each, to cover the expense of an agent's •joUrney to Madrid, for the purpose of reconnoitring, the ground, and making a report to them OH the subject. They were so little satisfied, however, with the course taken, that several of them had withdrawn their sub scriptions before the appearance in the Spanish papers of the project which has attracted so much attention and so much ridicule, but which all the parties deny having given the least authority for. The gentleman employed as agent, who is a military officer, was never considered as adapted by his profession and by, his habits to the task of discussing and settling the details of suck an arrangement. So far as we can I learn, there are no men of influence or capital in the City who have lent themselves to, or been cognizant of this scheme; and as it could not have, under these circumstances, any chance of being carried into cpe ration, it is fortunate perhaps for all parties that it is to be allowed thus quietly to drop and he forgotten. CIIRONICLE.—The new American Tariff Bill is calculated to be an average of nearly 35 per cent. on the whole imports, and to yield a nett revenue of 28,000,004) dollars, supposing the imports to be the same as in 1840. The duties received in 1840 were 15,103,790 dollars; so that the new tariff is esti mated to raise an additional revenue of 12,896,210 dollars, about equal to the loan lately authorised; but great doubts are expressed by portions of the American Press, whether the increase of duties will be attended with an y , commensurable addition to the Custom Tevenues. The scale of duties is highly pro tective, much more so than appears by a mere refer- ellee to the nominal rates, for h must be kept in view that there is an absolute increase of the specific rates per cent. under a restricted currency, and on prices which are seriously depreciated. The duties are nearly the same as in 1828, while the prices of the articles have fallen in some cases more than 50 per cent. The duty in 1828 on pig iron was the same as it is under the new tariff, namely, 41 per cent., the price at that time being 104 a ton. The price being now only 21. ss. a ton, the same duty is equal to nearly 100 per cent. Its operation on cottons is of a shni- lar restrictive character, owing to the minimum of value. The duty on prints is 9 cents. per yard, and on white cottons 6 cents. per yard. In 1835 the duty was 40 per cent., but now, owing to the re duced foreign cost, it will be equal to 100 per cent. On white goods the duty in 1835 was 42 per cent., and will now be 60 per cent. On other articles, such as wines, spirits, &c., the duties, which are higher than ev er , w ill operate severely in check ing trade. " The increased duty," says the. New York Herald, " in a restricted currency, will check intercourse with foreign nations, and deprive the Government of the expected income. By checking the demand for American produce from abroad, a surplus will be retained in the country, which will further depress prices and deprive the agricultural classes of their ability to extend their purchases of manufactures." There can be no doubt that the protective character of the new American tariff is mainly owing to the erroneous notion that the prosperity of their trade depends in giving pro tection to the infant manufactures of the Northern States, which are totally incapable of competing with the superior low-priced English goods ; while capital is at the same time tempted to seek investment in the artificial channel thus created, instead of being applied in the cultivation of the soil,. which is the naoaral,and certain source of American wealth, as a medium of exchange for our cottons, woollens, and hardware. The liabilities of th e T reasury of the United States may be stated, in round numbers, at 5,000,000 dollars. The available funds in hand are quite in adequate to meet the above, but it is estimated that the Custom revenues, with the aid of the new tariff up to January, including some miscellaneous sources will be fully equal to the amount required. • POST.—Although the .news brought by the Bri tannia steamer of the settlement of the boundary question is by commercial men felt to be acceptable, inasmuch as the measure secures in all probability. a continuance of peace between England and the United States for many years, it is a fact which they 'cannot conceal from themselves, that, in the arrangement of the treaty for the purpose, the concessions made by Lord Ashburton, on the part of this country, are im portant. All seem to admit, however, that peace was most desirable, if not indispensable in the 'circum stances of the two Powers, whatever might be the price paid for the guarantee of it. The Tariff Bill is not regarded as favourable to our manufactures, but very much the reverse, as, upon the principle en which it is intended to levy duties on British cotton goods, there would appear to be a most. mate rial increase in the rates. The minimum of valuations is much too high ; it bears no sort of proportion to the altered cost of goods since the tariff was last arranged, and the evil seems to pervade the provisions of the present Act, so that the interests of commerce will be by no means promoted by the change, nor is it to he doubted that the American revenue will suffer. in 1828 cottons cost, on an average, 15 to 20 cents per yard ; they now cost sto 6 cents. Pig iron cost 51. to 61. per tf.n ;it is now 21. ss. per ton. The duty in 1828 iwas the same as that proposed, viz., 10 dollars per ton, which was nearly 41 per cent. The same duty on the same article will now amount to 100 per cent. Under the operation of such a tariff, it is pretty clear that the importation of iron—a leading article— must be greatly checked. The duty on prints is 9 cents per yard, and on 11 bite cotton it is 6 cents per yard. In 1835, therefore, the rate was 40 per cent, and, owing to the reduced cost, it will be, under the new tariff, 100 per cent. On white goods the duty, in 1835, was 42 per cent., and it will now he 60 per cent., while, on other articles, such as wines, spirits, &c., the duties, which are higher than ever, will operate seriously to the prejudice of trade. Cloths and kerseymeres pay 40 per cent. ; silks pay according to weight, and will run from 20 to 40 per cent. on the cost. Pins are 50 to 60 per cent., and all duties must hereafter be paid in cash at the time of entry, there being no warehousing system in the United States. BERALD. However differently the I)oun dary treaty may be viewed there is but one opinion in regard to the Tariff Bill, passed at last, after being stripped of the clauSe for the distribution of the pro ceeds from public land sales. It is sufficiently evi dent that by the exaggeration of the rates of duty, imposed under the new tariff, the export trade to the United States will be seriously affected, whether' as regards British produce or British manufactures. The duties to be leviable now on manufactured cot tons generally are nominally established at 30 per cent. ad ralorem, but excessive as this rate may appear of itself it by no means represents the real • rate of the exa c ti on . For whatever the real value of the article may be, in respect of dyed and printed cottons, and however much below the rate fixed, the tariff adjudges that where such value does not exceed " twenty cents per square yard" it "shall be valued at 20 cents the square yard ; " that is, if the article be, of:the real and acknoWled4ed value of 15, 10 or 5 cents only, it shall still be valued and taxed as of the value of 20 cents, and nothing under. It follows, therefore, that no printed cottons can be imported into the Union, at a 30 per cent duty even, the value of which shall be below MI the square yard. This heavy impost will be conclusive in re spect of the great bulk ofprinted cottons which have hitherto constituted so large a proportion of the cot ton manufactures exported from hence to the Union. The same rule is observed in the tariff upon cotton piece goods of ascending rates of value; if above 20 cents per square yard value and .not exceeding. 30 they are to be valued and taxed at the highest of the two rates, without reference to intermediate values, and so on from 30 to 35 cents the square yard. Cloths and kerseymeres are to,pay 40 per cent.; and iron is taxed at ,an average ,nominally of 60. per :cent., both to a considerable extent prohibitory rates. In fact, however, all the rates of the new tariff will be greatly aggravated by the now' so much depressed prices and 'real value, of the articles on which - levied, as compared with former years, or the years when other tariffs prevailed or were enacted. SUN.—The intelligence from A merica has formed the more prominent subject of discussion to-day, and ' continues to be viewed favourably. Not so much. however, as far as the political treaty is concerned, as the measures which relate to commercial affairs in connexion with placing the fiscal regulations up on a certain footing. These facts have Induced speculat ors to operate in the Money Market , and Cons o l s l e f t off , at 923 for Money, and 93. for the Accomf,t ; Indi a I Mock, 249 2 51 ; Exchequer Bills, Old 51 sb; New, I 49 51 prem.

If parties thus engaged made' but for a moment view the position of the countrY, and disposition of the Executive, with the condition .of", its opponents,- it would appear that but little apprel: en sion of hostlities need exist.

To gain' them. over, and, at the same time, to blind poll ' ticians, these several expeditions against Yuca tan and Texas are nominally undertaken, but without serious intentions of carrying the thrept% into execution. If any proof of this were wanting, to be !blind in the manifestoes fulminated against the, United States. The President might just as well. declare war with England. No conclusion can be. arrived at, but that a deep game is being played, and: that amusing the adversaries is the plan pursued by the chief actor. The last quotation for the - bonds • was .35f 351. The other speculative Bonds were thus quoted— Colombian, 20i 21 ; Peruvian, 15 16 ; Portuguee: Five per Cents., 35i 351 ; the Three pe r Cents.., 2PI 21f ; Spa n i s h Fi ve per Cents., 16 1 1 16f ; and the Three per Cents., 201 s 21. • The proceedings of the officials connected with Me working of the Income-tax has created muelv'clis men of busi ness i n the• ritY. satisfaction amon g would appear that scarcely two assessors take a simi lar view of the regulations, and what transpired at the meeting of the Bank Proprietors forms an .apt il histration. It was then stated that the greatest doilbt existed as to the amount at which the Bank was to*lio assessed, and a. gentleman, .who allowed he was a Cominissioner, declared he could give no i n f ormat i on on the subject. Three Acts, intimately connected .with commercial affairs, passed the British Parliament this last session, which are looked upon as being likely to effect a complete alteration in the mode of conductin g busi ness. These are the Merchant and Factors Bill, th e Insolvent, and the Bankrupts Laws; these, tak en i n connection with the tenth article of the American treaty, bid fair to work quite a revolution in the, law of debtor and creditor. It has never - hap pened of late that, among nations professing themselves to be free, such power. has been been mutually allowed. If a debtor ...flee to any •of the continental countries, it is owing only to an informality of the passport or a technicality of the law, that any redress could be obtained .by the foreign creditor ; and if a fraudulent swindler could but but get a footing in the United States, the creditors might be set at defiance.- • Henceforth thel situation of the• parties will be wholly reversed; an individual guilty of a crime which is punishable in the one coun try will be given up to the other. Complaints have been made of the fiwilities which, by our new Acts, have been given to debtors, but if they be thoroughly examined it will be seen that creditors have not lost one atom of the power which they formerly possessed, and by the treaty now about to be ratified With America, much inducement, which has hitherto been held out, for fraud will be at an end. CORONER'S INQUEST. SFSPICIOIIS DEATH" OF A WOclAN.—Last evening an inquest was held before Mr. Payne, at Guy's Hos pital, on the body of Anne Wheeler, aged forty. Morris Bayne, shoemaker, of East-street, Wal worth, said that he first became acquainted with the deceased on Thursday week last, at the house of Mr. Middleton, in Walworth, where she was lodging. On Monday evening last a younr , man called upon witness by appointment to go ou t and spend the evening with a woman, and the deceased, who was with them, said she should much like to go. They agreed to take her, and at about seven o clock went to a con cert-room in Union-street, Borough, where they re galed themselves until twelve o'clock. At that hour they left, and walked as far as the Surrey Theatre, where they stopped, and had between them a pot of ale and a quartcrn of rum. They then took a cab, and all four rode in it to Wandsworth. It was then about two o'clock, and the young wo man, Ann Wood, tried to induce the deceased;o sleep with her instead of going home at such all Flour. Deceased said she could not remain, and they then made an arrangement with the cab•driver to kake the deceased to her residence for 25., Is. 6d. of which they gave him there, and proposed to meet him the next evening at the Surrey 'Theatre with the remain der. They charged him to take her carefully to East-street, Walworth, an d th en b a d e her good bye. Witness was 3nuch astonished at hearing afterwards that she had rot been home, but had been run over in the Kennington-road. The deceased was not quite sober when they parted. Witness had not -been able to find the cab or the driver since. The driver was a short man, of rather a florid complexion, and wore a sort of sailor's hat and a box coat. The cab was of a dark colour, and bad four wheels. John Hundergeach, police constable 29 L, said that on Tuesday morning last he was on duty in the Ken nington-road, when he heard the deceased scream. lie ran to the spot, and found her lying in the road. She said that she had just been run over. Witness saw two market carts pass a short time before, and Fmt constables in the direction they took, but they could not overtake them. Deceased was taken. - to a surgeon, and then to the hospital, where she died on Wednesday evening. . The persons who accompanied the decease to the concert-room said they forgot the number of the.cab. The CORONER gave directions for inquiries to be made of the turnpike roan, and all persons in the-road through which the cab passed, who could give any information.—The inquest was then adjourned. REPARATION OF A NATIONAL INSULT. The Tonlonnais of the 11th inst. publishes a letter from Tangiers of the 12th ult., announcing the ter mination of the difference which had ariscn-between France and Morocco. Our readers are already aware that on the 11th of July last shots were fired by Some Arabs on the boats of the French frigate Africaine, in the roads of Tangiers. The Governor Ski Bous selam being then absent, immediate satisfaction Could not be obtained. Several notes, however, wer.e.ex changed between him and M. de N ion, the Charge d'Affaires of France, who on the 6th of August dispatched the steamer Grondeur to - Cadiz, to. invite M. Turpin, the Commander of the French naval station in that quarter, to repair in stantly to .Tangiers. The latter lost no time in complying with the request, and on the tith he arrived there, and hoisted his flag on board the Africaine frigate. The Governor, in the meantime, had return e d t o hi s post. M. e Nion and Com mander Turpin having concerted measures together, notified to him their wish that the affair be settled in tweiity-four hours. The reply of the Paclia was satisfactory, mid he promised that on the next day full satisfaction should be granted. In the morning of the 10th, accordingly, three native Chiefs waited on Commander Turpin, to apprise him of the decision of the Conneil. As the offence had been offered at the landing-place, it was determined that the sen tence should be executed on that spot. Eleven prisoners were shortly afterwards brought chained .together and with ropes tied round . their necks.

Ile lmd already decided that it should not be produced, and " expostulations and entreaties" were, to use his own words, " equally unaviling." THE IRON TRADE.—We are happy to learn that orders have been given at the Penydarran works to blew in one furnace immediately, and that the forgemen are allowed to work six turns (or days) instead of four. At Cyfarthii works, we understand that orders have been given to take on extra hands ; and it is also understood that the two new furnaces at Ynisfaelt, belonging to the same firm, will be put in blast in the course of a month or five weeks.—Cardiff Advertiser.
