The supplies that h ave come to hand..— have met a dull sale, in consequence of their abuorisrats d' dance dance and the immense supplies of vegetables on offer, while the prices realised have been very unremune rative. s This has proved a most abundant hop season, both as regards quantity and quality. This abundance has had a serious effect upon prices, both in the Borough and at the provincial fairs and markets. The growth being pretty well ascertained, the duty is freely backed at 160,0001., which sum will, we think, be re alised. The official announcement is expected to be made in a few days. Our advices from Scotland are satisfactory. Must of the autumn wheat has been already sown, while the fine frosty weather has greatly improved the con dition of the new grain. Increased supplies of corn have been on sale in the. principal markets, while the general demand has ruled heavy, at drooping cur rencies. In Ireland, even in its most northern part, harvest has been brought to a close. The abundance of the crops this year leads us to suppose that that will be an exporting, instead of an importing country, during the next season. In the different markets the demand has ruled dull at lower figures. x4 ,y rat NOVEMBER 4, 1842. u N , LONDO N, FRIDAY PRICE sd.

THE AFFAIRS OF GERMANY. GREAT WESTERN SIEAM-SHIP. (From the Bristol Mirror.) The Great Western Steam-ship Company, fromythe best information we can collect, lost a sum conside rably above 3,0001., through the statements of the press in September last. An article in the Liverpool Albion on that occasion informed the 'public, that "there was every probability of the Great Western's being obliged to discontinue running between this country and America." The London Times adopted this paragraph, and the newspapers of the United States, in a variety of forms, with all dispatch, re peated the statement after the Boston boat arrived. In October, just previously to the steamer's starting from Liverpool, on the 19th instant, the Liverpool Albion. has another paragraph, which no unprejudiced person can read without admitting that its inferences are, that the Boston boat, which followed the Great Western in eighteen hours from Liverpool, in Sep tember, and in forty-eight hours from Boston, in October, made shorter passages than the Great West ern. Capt. Claxton having, as is most likely, the fear of the further consequences in the United States be fore his eyes, and being aware, as most people are, that our," go a-head " friends-. there prefer the fastest vessels, very properly comes out with a statement to show that injustice was done to the Great Western.

SINGULAR OCCURRENCE AT HOUNSLOW, AND rRO VIDENTiAt, ESCAPES.—For some days past consider able excitement has-existed throughout the neigh bourhood of Hounslow, in consequence of the circu lation of a report that at the recent assembling of the Bth Royal HussarE (now quartered at Hounslow barracks), for manoeuvring on the Review-ground, on Hounslow-heath, one of the privates of that regiment had fired ball cartridge instead of blank cartridge, and that several persons had, in consequence, while pur suing their daily occupations in the neighbouring fields, &c., most miraculously escaped being shot. From inquiries made by our reporter at Hounslow, we have ascertained that the report is substantially correct. On the day in question, while the troops were skirmishing, Mr. Brainbridge, an extensive miller, whose mill and premises stand on the right side of the high road, was engaged within his pre mises near the gate, with two of his men, superintend ' ing the carting of dung, and was standing at the horse's head, when he was alarmed by the whiz of a ball, which fortunately passed between his own and the horse's head, and lodged in the wall of: a cottage behind, where it still remains, The horse instantly reared its head and became almost unmanageable, but was quickly se cured, and within the room of the cottage, the wall of which was struck, were two females and seven chil • dren, who were greatly alarmed by the circumstance, the ball - being forced full three inches into the wall. The ball in question had, in its progress crossed the high road; and, it is believed, from the inquiries that have been made, that fifb balls, in the whole, are known to have passed over the road. The miller represented to the Colonel in command the providen tial escape he and other persons had had, when that officer summoned the whole of the officers to his pre sence, and acquainted them with the circumstance, when, from the inquiry made, and the position from which the balls came, it was considered that they must have been fired by one of the privates of the E troop, doing duty at Hampton Court Palace, whi ther the troop had returned. Two orderlies were in stantly dispatched 'to Hampton Court, with orders to search the men, and they returned to the barracks with the suspected private in custody, but nothing was found upon him to prove the truth of the suspi cion, and after a searching interrogatory he was libe rated, and sent back to his troop. It is said that during the firing one of the sergeant-majors was heard to say, " There goes a shot," and by some per sons it is considered that the shots were intended for one of the officers, but upon what grounds such a sus picion is entertained has not transpired. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The bursting of the British . Ameri can Emigration and Colonization Bubble, and especially the circumstances which led to the ex • plosion, continue to excite no inconsiderable sue . prise, even among those whose position has en abled them to watch .the concoction and working of similar schemes, and their temporary success in drawing the credulous and unsuspectingwithin their snares. The source of this surprise is dis covered in .the prominent place assigned to his .Grace the Duke of Argyll in the formation of the Association, and the confidence with which the agents of the- schem e have referred to his Grace as the parent of the undertaking— a statement which received a considerable mea sure of- confirmation from the fact, that in the programmeof the scheme, the Duke of Argyll was held up as the illustrious " President" ot the Association.. A long list 'of' Scotch Baronets .were included in the list of Directors—we beg pardon, " Commissioners"--in whom the honour and responsibility of managing the afiltirs of the Association were invested. Picot such an Asso ciation—the Duke of Argyll at its head, and a long line of titled names following, with due re gard to heraldic precedency, as honoured asso ciates,with him in the , cause of E nigration and Colonization —that such a confederacy of titles and philanthropy should turn out no better than it should be—a scheme to entrap the unwary— another of those bubble-companies, by which so many of our fellow-countrymen have been de ceived to their ruin—was indeed a finale to so high-sounding an overture for which few, if any, were prepared. Yet such it has proved! We alluded yesterday to the history of this additional instance of the ingenuity and impudence which characterise the proceedings of adventurers who prey on public credulity, for the purpose of cau tioning persons of rank against being duped into giving eclat to such schemes by permitting the use of their names as Patrons, Presidents, Chair men, or in any other way, until they have, by close personal inquiry and investigation, obtained assurance that they are rendering a service to the public by giving this certificate of good cha racter to the projects, instead of being, as they often have been, the mere tools with which knaves have worked upon the unsuspecting, whom they have fleeced by their means. To this extent only we were at the first inclined to re gard the Duke of Argyll as blame-worthy. We treated him as the dupe of clever knaves; who had Cajoled him into lending his high-sounding name to their scheme, well-knowing that their own would be ineffectual for deceiving even the most simple. A closer acquaintance with, and fuller inforniation upon, the subject, supplied by his Grace's own letter to the Lord Mayor, place the Noble Duke in a position from which we cannot see how he can escape without paying the penalty of the responsibility he has chosen to incur, by indemnifying every one who has been induced to embark his property, or to intrust his person to-the supposed integrity of the scheme, on the faith of his Grace's name. From this re sponsibility there is no loop hole of retre a t. STANDARD.—A reverend gentleman lately charged the Conservative press with apost ac y, because of the less attention which we have lately devoted to the proceedings of i‘lr O'Con nell and the political Roman Catholic party in Ireland. We have an unfeigned respect for our accuser—hard as is the measure of his reproof— and can easily enough understand why lie, who • properly confines his consideration to the strictly religious question, should look at the progress of affairs i n a li g ht diff eren t front that in which it must present itself to us, who transgress the limits of our province, if w e go beyond conside rations merely potitical. - Not that our care for the interests of true religion ought to he less than that of others, -but that we art' inemnPe tent to garrison any save its political defences. Now, it scents to us, that the political defences of the Protestant faith arc secure ia the custody of her Majesty's present Ministers, or, if not ab solutely free from all danger, at least so much more secure than they were under the ascen dancy of Mr. O'Connell's tools—men prepared with heavy blows and great discouragement for the religion of truth —as to authorise, if not en- • join, a di&rent line of action on our part. Now is the time for the imm e di ate m i n i s ters of reli gion to exert themselv es zea l ously as such; we have done our part in l a b our i ng to proc ure them an opportunity, free from the malign influence of a corrupt and hostile Administration—let them use that opportunity, as we believe the im mense majority are using it. Although, how ever, the Mr. O'Connell of 1842 is a very diffe rent person from the Mr. O'Connell of 1840, this " Wallenstein of the gutter," while he is still able to keep round him his rabble of adventurers and desperadoes, and to persist in his career of outrage, delusion, and robbery, must not be altogether neglected, merely because he can no longer display a recognised banner. Treason from the lips of any one, however con temptible, may lead to mischief; and from the lips of a chief of faction it will probably infect of . his faction as many as are not already thoroughly . • tainted, and even reach others. The O'Connel lite faction, too, though _hourly diminishing by the secession of conscientious and prudent men, • must be expected to receive in exchange re-. crui.s from the wounded selfslove or disappointed ambition of many deserters f rom ot h er part i es , if men are not fully warned of th e roa d u p on w hi c h they enter when they proc ee d to j o i n him. MONEY MARKET and - CIT Y NEWS. FROM TILE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE —lt is stated in the accounts lately received from the United States, that men of all par tiesseriously and c i l n as t s h e e s e a o r n e s beginnin gidera t n ot., plans for the restora tion of State credit, as the best means of restoring the general prosperity. We hail this movement as the dawning of better days, both for America and for England, and we rejoice that it should come from the people generally, the source of all power in the States. It will render the measures adopted more certain in their effects, and more honourable to the Federal Re public. The • credit of A merica being restored, and placed on a p roper f oo ti ng , th e m ay begin togeth er a l ong career o f twou r e C o o u r n n t - r l i l e i: s prosperity. We understand that the State of Illi nois, which has been so much embarrassed by vast undertakings of canals and railroads, is making an effort with the view of paying a part of the interest on her debt due in January. This is beginning the right way, and will, we hope, be met by proper en couragement on the part of the European capitalists interested in her stock. A curious and interesting tribute has lately been rendered to Illinois. An As sociation has been formed in Ireland under the auspi ces of that excellent person, Father Mathew, (who has, perhaps, done more for his countrymen than any man living), for promoting the comfort and well be ing of Irishmen, wishing to emigrate to foreign coun tries. In the prospectus of the Association the State of Illinois is recommended, not only on account of its fertile prairies and fine climate,;but for the efforts she is making to fulfil the obligatio ns of whose name god faith. The good priest would not have reco mme nded Irishmen to a most respecta bl e ladoptngiht become abye-word a Stat e, as their future n n d ttcountry,r reproach 0a c h children's children. Illinois m a y yet take thetotheir start of her elder sister, Pennsylvani a, w ho has immense r r eusroatli population,rce s , with speculative f inanc i e rs, the authors of her an d, butwe understand, a nidn, the first instance, misfor tunes, and now with manceuvring politicians, who think more of their own little objects than the most important interests of the State. lIERALD.--Among the Custom-house frauds which are now the ' subject of conversation, and of which instances can now be produced in ; almost every trade by those familiar with the current workings of their own special vocation, ma y be noticed the extent to which tobacco, in the shape of Bengal and Manila clieroots, has been regularly, not smuggled, but openly though fraudulently introduced through the Custom-house. It is well known how insignificant is the quantity of these cheroots regularly entered and passed for duty through the Customs, not more it is stated than a few cases yearly, though not having the import tables at hand for the moment the exact quan • tity cannot he verified. And yet there can be no question, cr at least there is none in the trade, that from 40 to 50 tons enter into the annual consumption of the kingdom. The duty stands at the rate of 9s. 6d. per lb., whilst the sale price of the article without duty rules only generally about is. 6d. per lb Instances are, however, quoted of purchases at a much lower rate of price than what the duty alone would arrount to, where the parcel purchased was : ctually cleared through the Custom-house to . the purchaser by the vendor. Of course it was well understood both on one si le and the other how the business was adjusted and the discrepancy of values letter of Captain Claxton's, and there the - matter would possibly have rested, Captain Claxton's object having probably been to disseminate, as quickly as possible through the United States, an antidote to the poison taken out by the mail-boat, through that widely-cir culating and far-spreading journal. .The Liverpool Albion, whose editor is the agent of the Times, has since come forward to eulogise that journal, and somewhat coarsely to attack Captain Claxton, and hence it is that we are induced to say a few words if only for our local readers, and particularly such as are in the habit of reading the Times. That paper tells us that " a Shareholder," believing the whole concern to be going to the dogs, furnished his agent with the article. A wise measure, truly, of advancing his interest, unless the said "Share holder" were paid more for the article than his stake in the Company was worth, from the small amount of that interest.... The Times is greatly praised by the Liverpool Albion, and its remarks called " complete." We wonder whether that "completeness" applies to the following,passage, which we extract under the hope that some one may help us to its meaning—" If the Great 'Western lost passengers by the inference of the Shareholders, that she would not probably sail again to New York, there was not and could not be the slightest wish to injure the Great Western !! !" We do not understand it, notwithstanding it is so clear to our Contemporary of Liverpool. We wrote (says the Albion) as historians, not as partisans. We tell him the simple comparison of a place off Liverpool " equal to the run to Bristol" proves the case to have been otherwise, or lets out the secret. Captain Claxton, if he takes our 'advice, will not attempt to argue the matter further. He can have no chance against a principal . in London and a Contemporary at Liverpool, the one commanding a daily (and such a daily!) and the other a weekly journal. The Great Western's performances speak for themselves, and we sincerely hope a good round sum may be obtained for her through her excellen cies, which this very attack has rendered more appa rent. We 'cannot conclude our remarks without stating that this is the third time that inferences favourable to competing vessels, and at the expense of the Great - Western, have been drawn through the London journals, and that it is, in our opinion, the duty of Captain Claxton to be watchful. It is cer- tainly extremely hard that the only Atlantic steamer and that, too, the one whose success led the way to the establishment of the several lines now steaming), which up to t:►is moment is ploughing the Atlantic unsupplied by public money in the form of Govern ment grants, should not meet with fair support from the p:►blic Press. DEA TII OF Mn. SERG CANT SPANKIE.—Mr. Spankie has long been known as one of the leading barristers in the Court of Common Pleas. He commenced his career on the Morning Chronicle (then the property of Mr. Perry) nearly half a century since, and was consideiad one of the best Parliamentary reporters of his day. He was for some years the editor of the Morninz Chronicle, and in that capacity wrote some of the most masterly articles which ever appeared in the columns of a newspaper. He resigned that situa tion on his being called to the bar in 1808. Having strong interest at the India House (through his mar riage) he was appointed Attorney-General of Bengal, and repaired to India, where he Practised with the greatest success, and was rapidly making a fortune, when he was seized with an affection of the liver, and compelled to return to England to save his life. Having recovered his health at home he was appointed standing-counsel to the East India Company, a situa tion of a very lucrative nature. lie was a powerful and clever speaker, but though his elocution was clear and distinct, his Scotch accent was disagreeably harsh. As a lawyer he was not considered of the first order. On the passing of the Reform Bill, Mr. Spankie con tested the representation of Finsbury, on which occa sion he was returned with the Right Hon. R. Grant, the unsuccessful, candidates being Messrs. Babbage, IVakley, and Temple. Mr. Spankie wrote one of the very best pamphlets in favour of ParliaMentary Re form, and entered the House of Commons as a Re former, but occasionally voted with the Opposition. On the dissolution, in 1835, he was ejected by the present Member, T. S. Duncombe, Esq. The deceased married a daughter of Mr. Manning, a London mer chant, by whom he has left a large family. Mr. Spankie possessed strong natural abilities, and in every situation of life must have distinguished him self. IVhen a Parliamentary reporter he possessed the greatest influence with his associates, and displayed a strong leaning towards Conservatism.—Morning Chronicle. THE AMERICAN TARIFF.—The Government of the United States is beginning to feel the effects of the anti-commercial tariff which the friends of " protec tion to domestic industry" have forced upon it. That measure, introduced and passed under the pretence of providing for an alarming deficiency in the revenue, seems likely enough to cut up the customs' revenue by the roots. At the date of the recent advices, im ports of all those articles on which heavy duties had been laid, were entirely at a stand ; and it seemed highly probable that the deficiency in the revenue, instead of being made up by the. new duties, would be greatly increased. How, under these circum stances, and in the present state of, its credit, at home and abroad, the American Government is to provide for the payment of its annual expenses, is a ques tion not easily answered ; and, unless we are very greatly mistaken, the proceedings of the next ses sion of Congress will evince a considerable change of opinion in reference to this subject. Even those American writers who had most warmly advocated the tariff, seem to admit its failure as a measure of revenue ; and they now suggest that the deficiency in the public income shall be made up by additional taxes op the import of tea, coffee, sugar, and other necessaries of life; and, if necessary, by internal taxation. We have reason to know that preparations have already been made for carrying on a considerable smuggling trade through Canada; and nothing but the great probability of an early modi fication of the tariff prevents those preparations from being very greatly extended. Men will not readily embark in a business which may be very soon broken up by a change of circumstances. But once let it be generally believed that the tariff is likely to be permanent, and smugglers 'will beset the country on all sides, and in every possible way. To protect such a frontier and such a coast against their opera tions, is utterly beyond the power of the American Government; indeed, we may say, would be alto gether impossible for any Government. —Manchester Paper. Mu. CRONIN'S TREATMENT OF ASTHMA AND CONSUMPTION BY TRACTION.—A Correspondent, who on several occasions witnessed Mr. Cronin's new method of treating the above disease; informs us, that some of the most distressing forms of these diseases have been successfully treated at No. 9, Craven-street, Strand, within the last fortnight. We are gratified to hear that many members of the medical profession who have doubted the-efficacy of traction in relieving consumption and asthma, have become so far converts, that they . are adopting the treatment recommended by Mr. Cronin, with deci ded success, in their own practice THE ...... ivtONUMENT. —The workmen employed in con structing the iron protection on the top of the Monu ment, completed their labours yesterday. The gallery is now covered in with strong bars of iron, rising from the old railing, sufficiently high to allow persons to stand upright, and of a width apart so as not to ob struct the view, and has the, appearance of a large iron cage. The bars are painted white, so that the addition is scarcely perceptible in the distance. FRANKFORT, OCT. 23.—The meeting of the Stand ing Com:nittees of the Prussian Provincial Estates at Berlin could not but excite the serious attention of neighbouring lands, more especially if it assumed the form, for which the nation has long been clamorous, of a virtual representation of the people. Such a step taken on the part Of the King of Prussia would rais e the power of the nation, by the necessary infus ion o f public spirit which it Would cause, to a height formi dable for all rivals, but especially for those who retain despotic forms. indeed, as a consequence of the ne cessity Austria would be under to follow,if not to an ticipate, such a measure, it is worthy of remark that this year, for the fi rst time, the fact of the assembling of the Austrian provincial diets (which meet for one day to hear the list of taxes decreed by the Crown read to them, and then dissolve without making com ment) was pompously announced in the newspapers. It would seem from this, that if the great Chancellor did not think it necessary to take any more decided step to counteract the innovations at Berlin, he yet thought it advisable to be prepared for consequences which those innovations, however, unexpectedly, might bring with them or lead to. The Committees have been Assembled since the 18th inst. Their meeting was not opened by the King in person, and although the rescript ordering them to be summoned is couched in terms of con siderable latitude, yet it neither fixes a right nor pro mises a periodical term for their assembling in future. The King declares his wish to consult them when the opinions of the provincial Diets differ on points of ge neral interest; when in the drawing up of laws new points of difficulty occur that were not submitted to the provincial Diets in the original discussions ; further, when new laws are projected, the opinion of the Com mittees will be taken on their necessity and tendency; and, lastly, measures of general interest, which were hitherto not submitted to the provincial Diets, will be laid before them. This declaration atibrds a wide scope for the operations of a body of Representatives, if the whole were not neutralized by the condition that they are only to be consulted on these points when the King shall thi n k it necessary, which, of course, means that they will only be assembled as long as they behave well, and give the Crown no trouble. The introduction of such a clause, and the strict pre scription of the subjeets to which they are to confine their discussions, or rather deliberations, were naturally sufficient guarantees both to Russia and Austria, that little or no .moral influence would be gained by this mode of developing the representative institutions of Prussia. It is notorious that although the late King bound himself by the most sacred promises not to break his compact with the Provincial Estates re specting the enlargement of the national debt, as guardians to which men in high office were sworn in 1820, no scruple was felt at adopting the subterfuge of the " sea company," in whose name a loan was con tracted of a large amount. It has recently been shown that the :mount of crown lands sold s annually far exceeded the sum which it was then agreed should be appropriated to the yearly redemption of the na tional debt; while the budgets published by the Mi nistry of the Finances have been shown to be falsified for the purpose of concea li ng th ese an d ot h er prac tices from the nation. Lastly, the want of an effi cient control has been glaringly• evinced by the detection of most extensive frauds committed on the State by the public servants in certain depart ments, which were carried on through a series of years without detection, and in which men of rank and of high standing in the service are said to be im plicated. That under these circumstances a mere promise to consult such a boiy as is now assembled at the convenience of the Crown should be considered as an empty show of liberality, of as little advantage to the King as to the nation, is na t ura l, an d I am sorry to say that this is here the general opinion.

The new law of ceniorship, the law of divorce, which I mentioned in former letters, arc on the eve of promulgation, but the representatives of the . national diet are not expected to express an opinion on matters of• such moment. Even the fact of whether the re venue can . bear the redu c ti on i n t axat i on w hi ch the King proposes to make next year, and the distribution of whi c h thi s Assembly is called upon to 0 - prove of, is not submitted to their ap proval, nor will a single member leave Berlin Informed of the real amount of the revenue of the country, unless a very different spirit should happen to animate the majority from that which the Crown evidently expects to meet. The sore feeling of the Germans at thus being held up to their neighbours to be scoffed at cannot be described, but of course will have its due influence in encouraging the French to pursue their intriguing aggressive commercial policy towards Belgium, which, although the violent advo cates of commercial policy in the German press first chalked out the proceeding, is felt now to be virtually a move upon the Rhine. Russia, too, will of course use littleceremony with a rival so circumstanced ; and a report is already abroad that orders have been given on the Polish frOntier to act as if no cartel Convention had been concluded, and to refuse re-ad mission into the empire to all deserters or criminals who might be seized and sent back by the Prussian police. Prussia has long been in the position of being obliged to go forward if it, would stand. The crisis has been hastened by the acts of the present King. He must throw himself into the arms of his people, or await a direful alternative. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR OCTOBER. (From the Farmer's Magazine.) This has proved one of the finest months for farm labours recollected at any corresponding period of the year. In its early part, and up to th e 20th, scarce l y any rain fell in England, which gave the farmers b excellent e sown with m opportunityforautunwheat, while, ploughing th in some the land to instan ces,an thep i rocess of seeding was muc h retarded in high situations, in consequence of the soil becoming too dry for that purpose. However, the fine rains which have fallen since the above day, have enabled our whea growers niayNve to th i p n r k o proceed fairlyeedrapid_lpreyNsvuitmhetdh, that at and it at least three fourths of th e winter wheats have been already sown under the most favourable auspices, and no doubt ap pears to be entertained that a general conclusion will be arrived at in the course of the next fortnight. The plants which have appeared above ground exhibit a very strong and healthy appearance, and we hail the present position of things—i.e. in relation to culture — the harbinger of good crops for the ensuing season. So much time having been occupied in the fields, the flail and thrashing-machine have not been in quite so much requisition as on some previous occasions, yet the quantity of wheat, barley, and oats thrashed out has been sufficiently large to enable us to form something like an adequate opinion of the actual produce of this years' crops. We have all along given our statement to the effect that those of wheat have amounted to nearly a fair average ; and that those of other kinds of grain have proved great, and now we see no reason whatever to alter that which we have before ad vanced. Of course, it will be understood that we are speaking in reference to the whole of England, since, otherwise, two or three counties might be pointed out in which a considerable defficiency of supply is found to exist. Eor instance, in Essex, the yield of wheat is much less than usual; but take England as a whole we think it will be found about equal to what we have stated. As to the quality of the grain, this is fine in the extreme, which circumstance cannot fail to be of vast importance to our growers.: The early time at w hich harvest commenced this year having prevented the total exhaustion of the stocks of old grain, , samples of it are still to be met with not only at Mark-lane, but also in most of our large country markets, the quality of which is repre sented as fine, yet we do not consider there is we any abundance of it, and that it will be wortkimedeso,ffin thepretty ensuingof certain. the u h di u appears the pressure esNw tat un derstanduointgimttlhosenbreadth of land under wheat culture thatthis_ season, is much larger, on- a comparison, than of last year ; and the fortunate circumstance , was of get ting it finished early, and in the best possible condi tion, renders future pros*ts, in this particular, cheering. gh the turnip cr o p thi s season is large, we Althoa find the quality to be un usually'inferior, caused, in a of great measure, by the dryness the summer months.
