'I3IIATEMALA, OR CENTRAL AMERICA. The following are extracts from the latest let ters ►eceive4l from Guatemala : GUATEM ALA, Art.ii. 14. The internal state of this country wears a favourable aspect. The dissensions in the province of Leon have been, as I stated in a former letter they were likely to be, satisfactorily tertni istited. The anarchists were but few in number; and after maintaining themselves with some obstinacy in the city of Leon, were ultimately forced to submit to the Supreme Autho , x ities ;, there were a few occasional s kirmishes, in which some. lives were lost, but no serious Mischief has been done beyond that of peeping the whole province in a state of alarm, and im peding the progress of industiy. As there was occasionally some firing in the city, a few houses have been destroyed, others da maged, and part of the church plate and valuables r here disap peared ; but these are injur ies which may easily be epaired. The insurrection never could have assumed a serious aspect had prompt measures been adopted in its co mmencement.. 'The Deputies of the province of Nicaragua to the Federal Congiesa have been elected, the municipal authorities formed, and regu larity and order appear to have succeeded to confusion and dis orranization. The province of Nicaragua is undoubtedly the richest in commercial wealth, as well as the most fertile, of all this highly favoured country : its productions are numerous, va luable; and abundant, as you will see from an accompanying document ; and should the canal be made, will unquesuonably be the richest and most thriving part of America, either North or South. Don Manuel Jose de Arce is distinguished for his upright ness of conduct and integrity ; of a mild and unassuming cha racter, he is affable, easy of access, and disposed to act upon as well as accept the counsel of others, if he believes they . tend towards the benefit of his country. He is a firm friend to Inde pendence, and, whenever he has taken a part in public affairs, his efforts have been directed towards its consolidation. After the election of the President, the form of Government will' undergo a change will then consist of a President, Vice-President, a Senate composed of 11 members, and the Federal Congress. The salary assigned to the President is 10,000 dollars per annum ; the Vice-President, 4,000 ; the Se nators, 2,000 each ; and the Deputies of the Congress, 1,200. The estimate of charges for the current year, as laid before the Congress, stands as follows, viz.: —The Ministry of State, 34,950 ; of Justice and Ecclesiastical Affairs, 17,600 ; of Fi nance. 178,208 ; of War and Marine, 627,828 ; making a total of 3713,e63 dollars. Some of those items have since undergone a reduction, and as the war department inch e des the charge for militia, which is defrayed by each pro vince se p arately from its particular funds, the whole expence of the Federal Government is estimated at something less than 600,000. With respect to the state of political parties, it is not easy to make formal ob servations : it May be said that since the affair of Leon no opposing political interests exist. The former Government of Spain has neither supporters nor friends in the country; To preserve and consolidate their independence is the general wish, and the only object which excites a party feeling is the ap proaching election. The general chaeacter of the population is mild, peaceful,.and obedient ; long suffering and oppression have made it patient and humble, quiet submission is peculiar to it, and want of in struction prevents it as yet from forming any notion of its new rights and liberties; and therefore, so long as it is treated with mildness, and, properly secured, it may gradually lead on to industrious employment, and there will be but little feat of po. pitlar commotion or resistance to the established Government. Agriculture is already beginning to have attractions for the more Wealthy ; and large plantations of impel, or the cochi meal plant, are now under cultivation : land begins to be con sidered as of some value, and there is scarcely a doubt to be entertained bunin a few years this science will become an im portant branch of the-.public wealth. The spirit' f commerce is strong in all ranks, but having been so long fettered, and the products of industry being debarred from any other mar kets than those of Spain, its effbrts have hitherto been re. pressed, and the formation of extensive foreign connexions prevented. When this latter point can be achieved, there will remain no question of Guatemala being the most favoured part of • America. lam not yet able to present you with any thing like a correct idea of the imports and exports, as no general ietimate has yet been made by the Government. Orders crease both in the import and export trade though any thing like numbers to draw an inference from Icannot procure. I shall keep this subject in mind, and will endeavour as early as -possible to supply you' with such authentic data as I can lay of.on this and other matters connected with the finances of -the country. The news that England has acknowledged the independence of Mexico and Colombia was received here on the 27th of - March with the utmost enthusiasm; it was immediately Cele brated by discharges of artillery, and circulated to the different provinces by an extraordinary Gazette. It certainly had a great erect on the members of the. Govern ment and the Congress, and inspired them with sanguine hopes of having the same benefit extended to Guatelmala in a short time. They are exceedingly desirous of standing well in the opi ..nion of Great Britain, to which they look forward for protec tion, and seeing commercial relations formed with the English. It would be, 1 know, peculiarly gratifying to them were an' Bglish Consul appointed, or a Commissioner sent to them, as was the case in Mexico and other parts. A Consul-General has already arrived from the United - States, by which they were much flattered, and they would be ten times mere so by receiving one fiern England. I had the satisfaction to be the -first to receive this intelligence of the acknowledgment of the independence of Colombia and Mexico, which came to me from Belize in a Jamaica newspaper. immediately solicited an audience of the Supreme Power to communicate it. There was a full sitting, and Senor del Valle, the President, after teceivine the news, and expressing their satisfaction, this gen tleman was pleased to address many flattering observations to me personally, expressive of thanks, &c. for the assistance I had been the means of affording to the country, and hopes that taroueh the same channel it would continue to derive further beoehts, &c. Al AY 3. 'Don Manuel Jose de Arce his been -chosen President by a majority over Senor del Valle, of 17 votes to 6, in the Con gress. The Vice-Presidency was unanimously offered to the latter, and after his refusing it four times, lion Marino Bel trenenn was elected to that office. These two have been inau. gurated with all due solemnity and ceremony : the Senate has been formed, the high court of justice hag been installed in its functions, and, in tact, the new form government established to the satisfaction of all parties, except, perhaps, of one indi v,idnal, in a manner that.l trust will be durable; and indeed -there appears to be no reason for doubting of-its permanency. By this act Guatemala may be considered more favoured than any any other country which has undergone revolution : it le now nearly as firmly fixed in its independence as any other new republic of America, and its system of government is as dearly defined ; it enjoys internal tranquillity. and is at peace with all the world, unless Spain be deemed an ex , eeption. Senor Del Valle, as he could not become the chief, steadily refused every other office, and is consequently now only a private individual, being neither of the Senate aor the 4joirgress. Mar 18: Mr, Thompson, the commissioner froM the British Govern: Aunt., arrived here last night from Mexico, and it is with him khave b - cen engaged the whole of the morning, in presenting him to the President, &c. I rejoice much at his arrival, as he will be the means of communicating to his Majesty's Go vernment a faithful account of the state of this country, svhich you day be confident is such as I have already represented to you. NEW TARIFF OP liAvyiNax.—{Extracted fr,irn the Ilauaanah Prices Current of the 2d of 'july.)-411 gods, except perishable provisions and liquors, may remain in entrepet for 12 months, paying 2 per cent. on their valuation: If not exported within that time, they then pay, besides the 2 per cent-, the customary duties fOr consumption. If 'sold for exportation, the charge of 2 per cent. is divided, between the importer and purchaser. To the above duty on sugar and coffee must be added 25 cents per box on sugar and 25 cents per barrel on coffee. In addition to the above duties on im portations, 2 per cent. is charged, called " Naval auxiliary and corsario duties." Goods imported for consumption or placed in depot, have the same valuation. Articles calculated for the agriculture of the island, pay only 13. per cent. Mer chandiz3 of every description imported into Iravannah from ' Key Westin 'Spanish, pays the same duty as when imported in foreign bottoms. The produce and manufactures of Spain imported directly from die Peninsula, in national vessels,•will be subject to an indiscriminate duty of 3 per cent. on the value fixed in tile tariff. Merchandise having been'entered for con sumption, and paid duty, pays nothing on exportation. . An additional duty of 1 per cent. on the amount of duties, and not on the value of imports, called " Balanza duty," has been lately imposed. Foreign vessels discharging at the public pay 10 rials, and Spanish vessels 6 rials per day, for each 100 , tower their register measurement. PERU AND SPAIN.

ADULTERATED SUGAR,.-Mr. CLARICE of Apo thecaries hall , in the course of some couversa. which he had yesterday with- the Loan MAYOR upon the subject of the adulteration of teas, stated what,-he said, he thought it important the publiC should be acquainted with . . A lady, who' resided, he believed, in Berwick-street, Soho, applied to Dr. Brookes to analyze some sugar,. which she had purchased in the neighbourhood, and the doctor referred her to him. She stated that shewas in the habit of sweetening piesand puddings with the sugar tif which she produced a sample, and that the children always fell sick immediately after their meals. She had remarked, that it was. necessary to use a great quantity of this sugar before it had any effect upon that with which it was mixed, and that when the pies or puddings tasted sweet, they also tasted salt or brackish The twang which this commodity gave to tea was also very extraordinary, and she felt a sickness in her stomach after taking 'it. The sugar, never.. theless.was.extrennely bright. Upon :uitizing it, he found that it contained about one-half of com mon salt, which was about a halfpenny a pound. This.ingredient when applied in greater quantities must excite excessive thirst and fever in children, and cotild not be very serviceable to grown people, putting out of the question the immense ,per tentage gained upon the adulteration. The, Lord Mayor said; the Public were certainly in debted to Mr. Clarke for his intelligence, and would doubt consider the obligation increased by the information as to the means of discovering the adulteration. Mr. Clarke said, a person had to do no more, to detect the adulteration, than to put a little of the suspected article into a cup, and pour a little spirits,.of wine upon it, When the sugar would immediately melt,and the salt would remain at the bottom. Richard Baker, of this town (Plymouth), capitally convicted at our late assizes of an assault upon a child, and whose execution was appointed 'to haVe taken place on Friday last, has been respited until his Majesty's further plea sure shall be known. On Thursday evening, a messenger, sent off express in a chaise and four from Bridgewater, by Mr. Justice °MELEE, arrived at the gaol in four hours with the respite; and a communication was also. sent by his- - Lofdshin„ through the medium of the post-office. lest tiny accident shotild detain the messenger. When the intelligence was made known to the wretched prisoner,: he became so greatly agitated* that he fainted, and it was several hour's before his recollection returned ; he then observed, that the shock to his feelings by the unex pected lenity was far greater than what be experienced when he was informed that the day of hi 4 execution was fixed, and no mercy would be shown him..—(Plymouth Journal.)

The circumstances which induce the suspicion are as follow i—'t man named James Shaw, a Siotchman, has been for the last three years- in the practice of hawking tea in the villages in the loWer part of the county of Bucks, and, having conducted liimself with steadiness and propriety, had succeeded not only in establishing a little connexion 'with persons to whom he sold his goods, but had gained the good-will of the publicans at whose houses he was in the habit of stopping.- On Tuesday fortnight he did busi ness at Little Norwood, and left that place in company with another hawker (whose name we have not been able to learn) to proceed to Swanbourne, about three miles distant; they were seen to enter Whaddon Chase together by some men who were relying, but from that time all trace of (it is to be feared, the unfortunate) Y•liaw has been lost. His companion reached alone the house _of a publican, named Doe, at Swanbourrfe, and he is reported to have there made use of an exclamation indicating the greatestuneasiness and agony of mind. This man after wards went to Winslow, and on the following Saturday at tempted to terminate his existence by drawing a knife across his throat ; in this he so nearly succeeded, that he is still in a state which renders it doubtful whether he will recover. In the mean time poor Shaw has been missed at. all his usual haunts ; 'he Was eitpected at the Angel public-house in this town on the evening of the day he was seen with the other hawker; bUt became not; and on last Tuesday, the time again came round for his coming, but Shaw was still away. The idea'otfoul play is strengthened by the previous habits of the man, which, as has been before observed, were steady; in. deed, so much so, that he seldom failed in arriving at his usual resting-places not only at an appointid day, but also at an ap pointed hour. Inquiries have been made for him at every place where there was a probability of his being found, by a person named Hutchinson, with whom Shaw was very inti mate, and it has been ascertained that on Monday, the slay be fore lie was missed, he was at Northampton, and left money with the person at whose house he lodged, to pay for goods.he expected by the canal. Ponds in the Chase; near which he must have passed in ping to Swanbourne, have also been drag gejl:ro ascertain if he had been thrown in, but nothing was tbund • his disappearance is Still-enveloped in mystery. The man Who attempted self-destruction at the Windmill is not suf ficiently recovered to be questioned.—(B uck: chronicle.) FAILURE OF SIR HUMPHREY DAVY'S 'PLAN FOR THE PROTECTION OF SHIPS' BOTTOMS.—The plan some time since recommended by Sir H. Davy, to prevent the exidation of copper on ships' bottoms, and which was adopted by Govern:in:a, with a laudable zeal for the interestsofsciences, has not been fbund to produce the expected benefits. In the instance of one of his Majesty's ships which was four years ago fitted on Sir H. Davy's pian o ,- and which is now undergoing repair in Plymouth dock-yard, it appears that the galvanic in fluence of the , iron has indeed prevented the 'exidation of the copper.; but the bottom of the ship is found as in the case of wood sheathing, to be foul with weeds and barnacles, to pro vide against which copper bottoms were originally adopted. — We understand that orders have been received to discontinue ,the fitting of his Majesty's ships on Sir Humyphry Davys' principle.—(Plymouth Journal;) filo& persons were found d(!ad in the streets of Stockholm, on the 23d ult. It is supposed that their death was owing to the sudden change from cold and .rainy weather to great heat. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. • , •. LANCASTER, , AtioisT 20. CHARGE OF MURDER. George &fetham, aged 42, was indicted for the wilful murder of William Hudson at Kirkdale, on the 7th of June. Mr. STAngtE stated the case, and called several witnesses in support pf it. It appeared that the prisoner had been gen meet' to two years' confinement in Kirkdale House of Cor rection, and while undergoing his punishments he had occa sional quarrels with his fellow prisoners. He had, contrary to the regulations of the prison, retained some money, and a knife about his person, and he appeared to be under continual apprehensions that the other prisoners meant to take this money from him. On_the day - in question, the prisoners began to kick shins and " play," as they called it, and several of them pushed the prisoner amongst others. He said that they under stood they were going to - " ramp" (rifle) him of hi s mone y , and be was determined not to stand it, but would defend him self to the last. He then placed himself against. the wall with an open knife in his hand; and the decease d having approached him, a scuffle eneued; . in the course of which the prisoner stab bed him below the stomach .1 of this wound the deceased lin gered and died. It appeared. that the prisoner was an old of fender, having been twice before in custody, and once sentenc ed to transportation. He cross-examined - some of the wit nesses with much vehemence - of manner, and without giving them time to answer any one question, accused them of malice and perjury. The Jury found him Guilty of Alanslaughter, at the same time stating through their foreman, that it was a most aggravated case. Mr. Justice BAYLEY sentenced him to be transported for life. • CHARGE OF )lATItICIDE. • . Charles Hayward Green was indicted for the wilful murder of his mother, at Manchester, in the month of July. The pri soner was rather a respectable looking young man ; he was gen teelly dressed, and when arraigned , appeared so - deeply affected as to be scarcely able to plead ; he at length 'was brought to utter " Not Guilty." Mr. ASHWORTH stated, that the prisoner stood charged with the crime of murder—a charge which was aggrayated by the circumstance of the deceased having been his own' mother. He hoped that circumstances would appear in the course of the trial, to relieve the prisoner -from the dish ace and infamy of the crime with which he stood charged ; in which case he felt convinced that the Jury would join with him in satisfaction, at being able to pronounce him guiltless of the eliarge : it was not his intention, much less was ithis wish, to aggravate the case against the unhappy man at the bar ; 'it was but too me. lancholy as it was. He felt satisfied, however, that - the Jury would discharge the trust reposed in them with the utmost fairness and impartiality; and that, whenever a doubt presented itself; they would lean to the side of mercy. Under this im pression, he felt the less difficulty in proceeding with the case, abstaining however from, stating any one as he con ceived the , Jury wou ' ld best learn them from themouths of the witnesses. Martha Read said she was at the house of Mr. Green, on Sa turday the 25th of. June ; lie lives in Mangles-street; she went in about eleven ; Mr. Green was in the house at the time; in a short time she was sent for, and went in again ; she saw the prisoner enter the door at a quarter before twelve ; his mother opened the door him ; he went up to his father and said , " Curse you, I'll_have your life ;" his father got out of the house • the prisoner appeared to be much in li q uor ; after his father ' hail gone, his mother said, " Charles, tray love, sit down and compose yourself;" he then turned to his mother, and said, " Curse you, I have not done with you ;" and he raised his hand and knocked her down ; witnesi could not see whether his hand' was open or shut; she fell upon the flagged floor, and he kicked her, witness believed, on. the left side; the deceased said, Charles, you have done enough ;" and he said, " If I have not I will do more; nothing more was done to deceased in witness's presence; she was leaving the house, when prisoner said he had not done with her (witness), and he kicked her into the street ; she was thrown upon her back into the channel • the door was left open ; her son , J ohn Read, came home ;bout one o'clock ; she and Mrs. Green, were then sitting on her steps; the deceased was very weak, and could not walk by herself ; witness and her son helped the deceased up stairs; and placed her on a bed ; she remained in wit ness's house until the Sunday evening, when she went to her. own house, assisted by her husband ; she was in great pain , while at witness's house ; witness saw her on the Monday morning after as she was coming down stairs to have a bed made up for her; she then also appeared to be in great pain ; she saw her six times that day.;' the last time she saw her som e person was aplilying leeches to her. Cross-examined by Mr. D. F. JOYES.—When the prisoner kicked his mother, witness was the only person present; witness's and ingenious cross-ex - animation, with a view lo shewlhat she was a woman of loose character and intemperate habits, and it appeared that she had 'at different times gone by various names, and was not, upon the whole, one of the most sdber, virtuous, or temperate characters. She denied that she exhibited the marks on . her arms on the day of the funeral of the deceased, or that she said She would do for the prisoner. Several witnesses were called, who deposed that, the prisoner wan a most affectionate son, and was the favourite child of his mother, whom he almost entirely supported by his earning, as a writer to an attorney, ,and his working over hours, and fres quently on Sundays. Mr. Oilier, surgeon, of Manchester, deposed, that the death was caused by external violence. n opening the body, he found the ribs broken, and the spleen ruptured; about three pounds of blood had flowed from the spleen; two of .the false -ribs were snapped across rather than broken ; a blow or WI would have caused the appearances which he noticed upon the deceased. He knew nothing of the state of the head, as he did not'open it. .The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, appeared again much affected. He at length said that he never harboured 'the slightest intention of injuring his dear mother, and that the accident which happened to her arose out of a scuffle which lie had with the woman Read.. Several persons gave him an excel lent character,amongstwhom watis late employer, Mr.Thomp sOn, an attorney, with whom he had lived for seven years.— Mr. Justice BAYLEY summed up the evidence at great length, and the Jury found the prisoner Guilty of Manslaugh ter, but_recommended him to mercy on account of his previous good character. THE SUNDERLAND SEAMEN.-T hese misguided men, we are happy to state, have at length returned to their duty. They had within these few days made several Overtures to the ship-owners to accommodate the existing differences, but without effect, and on Wednesday last they prudently resolved to return to their employment at the former rate of wages. In consequence of this gratifying resolution, the ships in the har bour were soon manned, and several have since proceeded to sea. After the submission of the sailors, the ship-owners humanely agreed amongst themselves, to take a man extra in each ship during the time the wages continue at 41. a voyage, in order to provide employment for the hundreds who have by their " stick," as they termed it, deprived their families of the means of procuring bread. This is praiseworthy, and will, we hope, meet its reward through the future good conduct of the men.—. To the firmness of the ship-owners, -the prompt measures adopted by Government and the condemnation of the unlaw ful proceedings of the sailors by the Public Press of the country, may be attributed the dissolution of one of the most daring and tyrannical combinations that ever disgraced this or any other kingdom.—(Durham Advertiser, Aug. 19) The following is an extract from a letter received by the Ma gistrates of Sunderland from Mr. Hobhouse, the Under Secre tary of State for the Home DepartMent, dated Whitehall, Aug. 10:-- " Gentlemen—l am directed by Mr. Secretary Peel to ac knowledge the receipt of your letters of the sth, 6th, and 7th' insant, and to acquaint you that he has received from me a statement of the conversation which I had on Monday with Mr. Davison and the two ship-owners alluded to in your first letter, respecting the riotous and unlawful acts committed at and near Sunderland on Wednesday last, when you deemed it necessary, for restoration of the peace, to call in the aid of the military, and four lives were unfortunately lost.—Although Mr. Peel has heard with deep regret that your measures for the maintenance of good order were not effectual until the • military had been compelled to tire, yet, after the fullest consideration of the in formation submitted to him, and of the proceedings on the Coroners' Inquests, it appears to him that Mr. Davison was fully justified by the consideration of his own personal safety, and of that of the peace-officers and troops who accompanied. him, in resisting as he did the violence offered to them, and that under the trying circumstances under which Mr. Davison was placed, he acted with coolness and resolution, and with as much forbearanCe as was consistent with the security of himself and of those who were acting under his elders." We learn from the frontier of the eastern Py renees, that, about four o'clock on the afternoon of the 2d in stant, the curate of Notre. Dame del Mont, near Besalu, his servant, and the clerk of the parish, were all found dead at the house belonging to the curacy. The bodies were discovered se creted in the cellar.
