THE PA TENT STUCCO PAINT CEMENT, surpassing every article hitherto introduced, possesses the fol lowing extraordinary and valuable properties. Remarkable adhesiveness, fixing most tenaciously to th e smoo th es t sur f aces (even to gl , ss). It is perfectly impervious to wet or damp. The more it is exposed to the atmosphere, the harder and more durable it becomes. It is perfectly free from any of the caustic qualilies of lime, and it may therefore be painted upon as soon as dry, as it is impossible that it can vegetate or change colour, nor can it be affected by frost or heat, or crack chip, or peel off. To 'Merchants and Shippers, it must form a most important item of commerce, as It will keep for any. length of time, as fresh as delivered from the manufactory ; with regard to price, it is cheaper than any other Cement, and its lasting qualities, render it a fortune to build ers and others investing capital in building s peculations. appointed Messrs.

The steam-ship, Caledonia, Captain Lott, arrived here fr,ini Halifax, at noon to-day, having made the run from pilot to pilot, in ten days, bringing fifty-seven passengers. The news by this arrival, extends over a fortnight, but it is more than usually barren of interest. Mr. Webster had addressed a communication to the Go vernors of Maine and MasSachusetts, relative to the mission of Lord Ashburton, for the settlement of the boundary question. Ile urges the necessity of having that oft mooted question brought to a close durint the present sitting of Congress. The Governor of Maine had, accordingly, issued a proclamation, convening that state legislature for the 18th inst. It is gratifying to observe the altered and more friendly tone of the Ame rican papers on this and other subjects at issue with this country. The missipn of Lord Ashburton has evidently flattered the pride of the Americans, and may be regarded as having poured oil on the troubled waters. Nothing decisive has taken place between the Mexi cans and Texians, but both were preparing fir a furious encounter. Santa Anna, if the New fork papers are to be credited, had been raising the sinews of war with a vengeance, having obtained a loan of no less than three millions sterling in London, guaranteed by the British Government, the condition . being that British manufile tured goods should be admitted into the Mexican ports at a Merely nominal duty. If this heavy loan had ex isted any where but in the imagination of the American editors, Santa Anna's chance of successfully oppo s i ng the Texians would have been materially strengthened. Mr. Dickens (Bok) and his lady had taken their pas sage for Liverpool in the packet-ship, George Washing ton, which would sail on the 14th of June. • Nothing of consequence had occurred within the walls of Congress, but duels were on the tapis outside. Two reports had been presented relative to the tariffs—one from the Secretary of the Treasury, the other from. the minority of the Committee of manufacturers. The Exchange on England was 1.081 to 108: 4 1 . Money plenty, but from bills offering on England. NETTER FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE TO THE GOVERNORS OF MASSACHUSETTS AND MAINE. Department of State, Washington, April 11. TO OIS EXCELLENCYJOHN FAIRFIELD, GOVERNOR OF MAINE. Your Excellency is aware that previous to March, 1841, a negotiation had been going on for some time between the Secretary of State of the United States, under the direction of the President, and the British Minister accredited to this Go- vernment, having for its object the creation of a joint commis sin for settling the controversy respecting the north-eastern boundary of the United States, with a provision for an ultimate reference for arbitrators, to be appointed by some of the Sove reigns of Europe, in ease an arbitration should' become neces sary. On the leading features of a Convention for this purpose the two Governments were agreed, but on several matters of detail the parties differed, and appear to have been interchang ing their respective views and opinions, projects and counter. projects, without coming to a final a, rangement, down to Aug. 1840. Various causes, not now necessary to be explained, ar rested the progress of the negotiation at that time, and no con4derab:e advance has been since made in it. It seems to have been understood, on both sides, that one arbitration having failed, it was the duty of the two parties to prom e t to institute another, according to the spirit of the, treaty of Ghent, and other treaties; and the President has felt it to be his duty, unless some new course should be proposed, 'o cause the negotiation to be resumed, and pressed to is con • elusion. But I have now to inform your Excellency that Lora Ashburton, a Minister Plenipotentiary Special, has arrived at the seat of Government of the United States, charged with full powers from the Sovereign to negotiate and settle the different (natters to discussion between the two Governments. I have further to state to you, that he has officially announced to this department that in regard to the boundary question, he hes authority to treat for a conventional line, or line by agreement, on such terms and conditions, and with such mutual considera- Lions and equivalents, as may be thought just and equitable; and that he is ready to enter upon a negotiation for such con ventional line so soon as this Government shall say that is is authorised and ready, on its part, to commence such negotiation. Under these circumstances, the President has felt it to be his duty to call the serious attention of the Governments ot Maine and Massachusetts to the subject, and to submit to those Governments the propriety of their co-operation, to a certain extent and in a certain form, in an endeavour to ter minate a controversy already of so long duration, and which seems very likely to be still considerably further protracted before the desired end of a final adjustment shall be attained, unless a shorter course of arriving at that end be adopted, than such as has heretofore been pursued, and as the two Govern ments are still pursuing. Yet, without the concurrence of the two States whose rights are more immediately concerned, both having an interest in the sod, and one of them in the jurisdiction and government, the duty of this Government will be to adopt no new course, but, in ccmpliiince with treaty stipulations, and in furtherance of what has already been done, to hasten the pending negotia tions as fast. as possible. But the President thinks it a highly-desirable object to pre vent the delays necessarily incident to any settlement of the question •by these means. Such delays are great and unavoid able. It has been found that an exploration and examination of the several lines constitute a work of three years. The existing commission for making such exploration, under the authority of the United Stat es , has been occupying two sum mers, and a very considerable portion of the work still remains to be done. If a joint commission should - be appointed, and should go through the same work, and the Commissioners should disagree—as is very possible—and an arbitration on that account become indispensable, the arbitrators might find it necessary to make an exploration, and survey themselves, or cause the same to be done by others, of their own appoint ment. If to these causes, operating to postpone the final de cision, be added the time necessary to appoint arbitrators, and and for their preparation to leave Europe for the service, and the various retarding incidents always attending such opera tions, seven or eight years constitute, perhaps, the shortest pe riod within which vse can look for a final result. In the meantime, great expenFes have been incurred, and further ex penses cannot be avoided. It is well known that the contro versy has brought heavy charges upon Maine herself, to the remuneration or proper settlement of which she cannot be ex pected to be indifferent. The exploration by the Government of the United States has already cost 100,000 dollars, and the charge of another summer's work is in progress. These facts may be sufficient to form a probable estimate of the whole expense likely to be incurred before the controversy can be settled by arbitrat:on, and our experience admonishes us that even another arbitra tion might pOssibly fail. The opinion of this Government upon the justice and va lidity of the American claim has been expressed, at so many times, and in so many forms, that a repetition of that opinion is not necessary. But the subject is a subject in dispute. The Government has agreed to make it matter of reference and arbitration, and it must fulfil that agreement, unless another mode for settling the controversy should be resorted to with the hope of producing a speedier decision. The President pro posed, then, that the Governments of Maine and Massachusetts should severally appoint a Commissioner or Commissioners, empowered to confer with the authorities of this Government upon a conventional line, or line by agreement, with its terms, condition., considerations, and equivalents, with an under standing that no such line will be agreed upon, without the assent of such Commissioners. This mode of proceeding, or some other which shall express assent beforehand, seems in dispensable. if any negotiation for a conventional line is to be had, since, if happily a Treaty should be the result of the ne gotiation, it can only be submitted to the Senate of the United States for ratification. It is a subject of deep and sincere regret to the President flat the British Plenipotentiary did sot arrive in the country, and make known his pOwers in time to have made this communica tint, before the annual session of the Legislatures of the two States had ,been brought to a close. He perceives and laments the inconvenience which may be experienced from re-assemb ling those Legislature s ; but the •British mission is a special one ; it does not supersede the resident mission of the British Government at Washington, and its stay in the United States is not expected to by long. In addition to these considerations, it is to be suggested that more than four months of the session of Congress have already passed, and it is highly desirable, if any treaty for a conve n ti ona l t i ne s h ou ld b e agree d on, it should be concluded before the session shall terminate ; not only because of the necessity of the ratification of the Senate, but also be cause it is not impossible that measures may be thought ad visable, or become important, which can only be accomplished by the authority of both Houses. These considerations, in addition to the importance of the subject, and a firm conviction in the mind of the President that the interests of both countries, as well as the interests of the two states more immediately concerned, require a prompt effort to bring this dispute to an end, constrain him to express an earnest hope tl.at your Excellency will convene the Legislature f Maine, and submit the subject to its grave and candid de to,eration. I am, with great respect, your Excellency's ervant, _ (Signed) DANIEL WEBSTER. The following is the proclamation of Governor Fairfield, calling a special session of the Legislature of the State of Maine for the 181 h inst. : "STATE OF MAINE.

" Dooming the present posture of the question relating to the north-eastern boundary of this State and the matters connected therewith, to form one of those 'extraordinary occasions' con templated in the Constitution, for corvening the Legislature, I do, by there presents, appoint Wednesday, the 18th day of May next, for their me et i ng , at t h e State H ouse i n A ugusta, hereby tequiring the respective senators and representatives then and there to assemble in Legislature, in order to receive such communications as may then be made to them, and to consult and determine s on such measures as they may consider will best promote the welfare of this State and nation.

Johnson, Secretary of State." No. 15,528 LONDON, _ .„ i :% Al 31, 1842 -r_ ~ PRICE M NEW YORK MONEY_AND COMMERCIAL NEWS, MAY, 14th. The demand for money is more limited, and that which exists is readily supplied. The banks discount quite freely, and in the street, first class paper can be negotiated at legal interest. As the summer advances, we are of opinion that money will grow more abundant. In Philadelphia it is more difficult to be obtained, and several mercantile failures have been reported. Foreign exchanges are in fair demand, and the supply of bills is moderate. It is thought the inquiry will fall off after the steamer has left, as the spring business may be considered pretty much over. We quote on London IOSi, Paris sf. 30, Amsterdam 39,t a 39k, Hamburg 35c, Bremen 76c. Some improvement is manifest in our quotations of domestic excharwer. The business is, however, quite limited, if we ex cept the notes of this state and the eastern states, in both which quite a large amount is offering. The weak banks are gra dually disappearing, and we confess we shall be glad when the financial atmosphere is purified wholly from every banking institution not able and willing to pay specie for its obligations on presentation. So far as we can judge, the fallacious idea about " preparing to resume, but not resuming " are nearly dissipated, and all classes of the community are convinced that the only correct policy, the only one that will fully restore us to prosperity, is to preserve a sound currency, crediting only those institutions which pay in specie, and discrediting all others. The transactions in Stocks have been quite limited during the present week. Prices of solid Stocks generally have been maintained, and in some descriptions a small improvement has been realised. In fancy Stocks the Market has been somewhat depressed, and closes at prices lower than our last quotations. The impression which was quite prevalent a few days since on the subject of the negotiation of the Government loan, is now believed to have been unfounded, and it is stated that offers at par have been received for only a small portion. We still en tertain no doubt of its negotiation within a short time, and we think we cannot be mistaken in our estimate of the favourable effect it would produce upon business generally. Yet while the matter is at all uncertain, the community will prefer to re— main quiet.

(FURTHER EXTRACTS FROM TILE AMERICAN PAPERS.) THE RIOT UPON THE LONG ISLAND RAIL ROAD. —We have. obtained from the officers of the Com pany the following statement in relation to the diffi culty which occurred hi the transportation of persons from Brooklyn,' to witness the great race on Tuesday. The trains commenced running at daylight, at one shilling fare .until 8 o'clock, from which time until half-past 11, two trains continued to run about every 40 minutes i with two thousand persons in each train, drawn by. two locomotives each. At this hour the press became so great upon the cars, upwards of one hundred and fifty persons piling themselves upon cars. calculated only for forty, that it entirely pre vented the revolution of the wheels. The only alter native left was to detach a number of those over loaded, on doing which, those persons left, some finer or five hundred, became impatient, and pushed the cars to a descending grade beyond the Red fbrd depot. - Here they were remonstrated 'with, and told of the imminent danger in which their lives would be placed by running, without control, cars down the grade from this point, and the dread ful possibility, and even probability, of meeting the two down trains; but entreaty was vain and worse than useless. They started, but soon became affrighted at their own velocity, and many jumped off and were more or less injured. One poor fellow, named John Abney, a hatter of 141, West-street of this city, had his leg broken. On the approach of the trains, they compelled the engineers and conductor to re tnrn to the . course, and they were obliged to yield, leaving thousands of persons at Brooklyn, waiting anxiously the return of the trains. In the meantime no means were allowed the agents of the Company to communicate with the office at Brooklyn ; and the trains . being momentarily expected, they continued to sell tickets. • At about one o'clock the trains were. disengaged • and reached Brooklyn, and took off about . 4;ooo persons' still'leaving many to whom the Money' was returned. Returning, the same difficulty and otbers of a more serious. character occurred. The trains, after running twice to Brooklyn, became en tangled in the crowd, who filled the cars to overflow ing, leaving the track covered for more than a mile with 'persons ; and they w e re again compelled to pro ceed to Brooklyn, leaving several thousand persons at the race-course who had paid their money, with out any Means of getting through. This continued to be the case for several hours ; and to prevent the cars returning, stones and timbers were placed upon the track, and three passage cars were upset and de molished.. At ten o'clock the obstructions were so great, and the water station being demolished, it. was thought prudent to stop entirely the running of the trains: The Company had provided the most ample means for the transportation of every person who purchased a ticket, and could have done so without disappointment, could they have kept the control of their trains, and, the track clear. Those who wit nessed the departure and safe delivery of trains of 2,000 persons each, cannot doubt that it could have been done safely, and within a reasonable time. SINGULAR DECISIONS IN BANKRUPTCY.—SOTRe curious decisions in' bankruptcy have been made re cently by the United States Court, affecting the jewellery and necessary ornaments that the wife of a bankrupt is authorised to retain in her pos session. It appears that the wife of one of the applicants had in her possession diamonds worth 10,000 dollars, which she brought with her into the marriage contract, and which were considered once suitable for her station in life. This she is allowed to retain. We like this decision. It is a step in the march of civilization, when the women will possess rights equal to those of the men. Why should a wo man's property go to pay the debts of a speculative, thoughtless husband ? THE TEMPERANCE MANIA.—It is an old saying, but we doubt its truth, that " reformed rakes make the ,best husbands." We presume that the Hon. T. F. Marshall, of Kentucky, had heard of this adage when he introduced at a late meeting of the Wash ington Congressional Temperance Society, the following resolution :—Resolved, that the custom at public entertainments, or fashionable dining parties, among gentlemen and ladies of pledging each other, and drinking healths in wine, is a serious obstacle to the advance of the temperate cause among those classes where it prevails, and has no foundation in the natural principles of good taste, true hospitality, or refined manners. We are the friends of the temperance cause ; but we eschew fa-. naticism in every thing. Fanatics and hypocrites invariably injure every cause to which they at tach themselves ; and the cause of temperance cannot , be aided, and may be • seriously injured, when a crusade is attempted against the use of wine in moderation. At all events, modesty and a little self-respect—in occasional reflection upon the past—should teach the Honourable Mr. Marshall not to make himself too prominent in such a crusade.— New York Courier and Enrirer. THE SLAVER AND THE MAN OF WAR.—We men tioned yesterday, that a British brig of war had been beat off by an armed slaver. The New Orleans Crescent City says the engagement took place so near the port of • Havanna as to be wit nessed by nearly all the inhabitants. The Sol way, one of tlse West India mail steamers, fired up on perceiving the engagement, with the intention of going to the assistance of the brig. but relinquished her object on seeing the result of the engagement. The New York Herald says :—" We are acquainted with this formida ble slaver. We believe her to have been at one time the barque, Isaac Ellis, of this port. We know she, was sold for a slaver ; mounted with six twelve-pounders, and a long Tom. And it is our impression that she is owned by . the Captain and owner of the Clara, which was brought into this port by H. B. K brig Buzzard, in the summer of 1838. He escaped then, and vowed vengeance against the British." RHODE 'ISLAND CASE SETTLED. - The President has instituted a commission, to consist of two or more persons from each side (of the two parties) in Rhode island, to meet at New York on Friday next,. to settle all difficulties pending. Mr. Pearce and Governor Dorr, both have been here, and have ex pressed their willingness to compromise the whole matter amicably; and the President has consented in the desire of the Executive, to suppress all difficulties peaceably—to countenance officially such a represen tation of the two parties as have been agreed on to . 9aeet . at New York.

York Courier;and Enquirer gives the fol lowing sketch of the Rhode Island atl'aira, which have latterly assumed so extraordinary a complexion— " Rhode Island some one hundred and seventy years ago obtained; under the auspices of Roger Williams, the patriarch of its first settlers,. a Char ter of Civil Government from Charles the Second of England.. This Charter was penned by those who prayed for it, and. was of course made just as free and just as liberal as those who asked the Royal sanctinn desired it to be. It granted, and the peo ple of Rhode Island lived under it in the most perfect contentment (so far as the letter of the instrument was concerned) till the declaration of American Independ ence released the people from any obligations to obey it as a Royal Charter, and upon the adoption of the United States Constitution, so partial were the people of tha State to its provisions, and so well satisfied were they that they could not frame a better form of Government, that, instead of making a new Constitution, they adopted the old one, with such modifi ca ti ons as were consistent with, their new relations, and the new circumstances under which they were placed. Nor is it sur prising that such should have been the feel ings and opinions of the Rhode Islanders, for there is not a State i n th e ent i re Union whose Con stitution is so thoroughly democratic as this same Charter, in all its features. The most thorough free dom in all matters, civil and ecclesiastical, is secured. The broadest liberty in every thing that relates to man's volition, consistent with the requirements of civilized society, are guaranteed to the people, and thr nearly two centuries the citizens have enjoyed as large a share of happiness and prosperity, social, poli tical and personal, as ever MI to the lot of man. " The thirteen colonies, however, had adopted writ ten constitutions of their own penning, and a portion of the people of Rhode Island, have been f or some years desirous of doing the sa me thing a and they have from time to time made effort s t o th a t end. The real citi zens, however, the owners o f Rh o d e I sland, thought. they had the ‘ right of gover n i ng Rh o d e Island, and they have Yeaolutely resisted any inno vation upon the old Constitution—a Constitu tion with which they were well enough satisfied, and until within a year or two past they have resisted all attempts to " make very well, ' bet ter." There was, however, a very general de sire for a new form of Government, and, certain prominent individuals got together and deter mined to have one. They accordingly, of their own mere motion, called a Convention without the shadow, and without even the pretension of law, forthe ' purpose of framing it. Persons, calling therw elves dele gates, met in Convention, and adopted an instrument which they denominated a Constitution, and directed it to be submitted to the people of the State —permitting every white male inhabitant twenty-one years of age to vote' on it, and allowing those who could not be present at the polls to send their ballots.. Under these circumstances, a majority of votes were reported to be in favour of it, and orders were given to elect a Governor and Legislature under the new instru ment, which has been done, that is to say, nearly six thOusand votes were thrown, or purporting to have been thrown, in favour of certain candidates presented for their suffrages. • "In the meantime the lawful Legislature of the State had passed a law calling a Convention for the purpose of framing a Constitution. That body met and did frame one of the most liberal forms of Government to be found in the world, and submitted it to the people. This, thought it granted more than the real people of the State had ever thought of asking before ; was op pbsed by the demagogues who had made a Constitution of their own, and by a system of very outrageous de ception and unfairness of all sorts, it was rejected by about six hundred majority of the voters. This being the case, of course there was no new Consti tution, but Rhode Island remained precisely where she was before—under her old one. The people have met and elected their Governor and State Officers and Legislature according to legal and immemorialusage, by more than seven thousand vo t es . Th us c l ear l y showing a majority of upwards of a thousand over ail that. could be mustered for the unlawful ticket, allowing that ticket every possible latitude. " Now, forsooth; the revolutionists declare their de terminatioli to take possession of the Government, and to maintain it by force, against the regularly consti tuted Government of the State ! And with this view they are organizing military companies, training them. for war, and calling for ass i s t ance f rom ot h er States. Sympathy for such conduct is more misplaced than it would. have been for David Shays. The Rhode Island insurgents have not even the - semblance of a claim to any other feeling th an con t empt f or their . countrymen • THE LINEN TRADE. - --- ----- It is (Aident from a conversation which took place in the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday last, that the French Go vernment will raise the duties on linen-yarns and linen mann tactures by ordinance, within a few weeks from the present lime. We shall not pause to expose the folly of such a mea sure, or to contrast it with the policy of the British Govern ment at the very rams juncture ; but the following figures will prove, that in attaching the linen trade with Great Britain the • French Government is shutting up by far the most important channel of commercial intercourse betwee 1, the two countries. That trade is of a very recent creation, for the duties were raised to prohibition in 1826; they were, however, lowered in 1835 and 1836, and the iesult was at follows ! Linen-yet ns exported frem the United Kingdom to France lb. Value. In 1832 ...... ........... 76 312 £ 6,516 1833 867,288 68,229 1834 1.430,369 130,561 1835 1836 1837 , 1838 .... 11,465,680 600,806 • 1839 1840 Our whole export of linen-yarn to all countries (including France) were in 1840, 17,73:3,5751b, ; consequently the por tion sent to France is more than two-thirds dour whole foreign and colonial trade in that commodity. The total declared vaKeTiiir7tisi; exports to France in 1849 was 2,378,149/. ; consequently the value of the linen-yarns ex ported amounts to more than one quarter of the value of the whole export trade of this country with France. Such is the extent of the evil—such is the enormous blow about to be aimed at the commercial relations of the two greatest countries in the world, in order to gratify the claims of a few unruly constituencies in the north of i;.rance! [ADVERTISEMENT.] IMPORTANT TO ALL THOSE WHO EXPECT TO DE RIVE BENEFIT raoM DRINKING SODA WATER. — SCIIKeppe s S Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised world, that any encoeium on its merits might arpear super fluous; but as since its original introduction, upwards o half . a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or less claims to public patronage, J. S. and Co. take the lib ert y I of reminding th e i r f r i en d s an d the public that the above Cele, brated Water conti n u es t o b e manu f ac t ure d on the largest scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es tablishment, ()I, Berners-street, London; and also at their three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby ; and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at most of the respectable Chemists, Coafeetioners, and Italian Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom. 'I he just reputation of their matutfacture, and the eGnsequent de mand for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against which Schweeve and Co. are anxious to caution the public.. The deception referred to is that of paosiag off a spurt es article fur .‘ Szliweppe's," by selling it in Schweipe's marked bottles. The temptation to this is, the cheapness a the infe tior water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously palmed on the public for the genuine —the reputation of tbe latter is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its /egiti , E ate channel. To obviate these several evils, Sehweppe and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label over the cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, with out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer with pride to the fact that they constanly supply the Royal Palaces of London and Windsor, as well a 3 the principal Nobility in the three kingdoms ; our is the demand for their Soda Water less, constant on the continent and in other parts of the world. Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the Ea-t and West Indies and our numerous Colonies are continually transmitting orders received from .their respective agents and correspondents, and highly • gratifying is the testimony Schweppe and Co. are in the habit of receiving from gentle. men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them by their Soda Water when met with in tropical climates, and of the high condition in which it is generally found. The Water ordered for foreign countries is manufactured with an express reference to its destination, and it is well known that no other can equally well endure the variations of climate. Schweppe's Lemonade is an elegant preparation of mere recent intro duction, but from its refreshing and wholesome properties is rapidly g etting into extensiv e reputation. It is an effervescing draught of most agreeable flavou .? r , and made of the best mate rials, witho u t regar d to rest Physicians and medical men constantly recommend it in cases of fever, &c., nor is it less de sirable as an article of luxury. Retry genuine battle will have a yellow lable on its side, with the name and address of the firm. Schvreppe and Co. are the largest importers of the German Seltzer Water, which they receive direct from the springs, in quarts and pints, and which they offer to the public in the original packages. N.B.—Export orders for all climates executed on the shortest Retie*.
