Tlao Tory journals have puffed and praised very much—what they calla" Great Protestant Meeting," held at Manchestor on Thursday. The Standard of last night, not content with , the version of the proceedings supplied by the reporters, published a second version of the great O'SuLLt VAN'S " mag nit:kept speech," as reported by the great 0 himself, which has the small fault of not resembling what the fervid and eloquent gentleman is reported by others to have said. It remained, however, for him, after all the labours of the Standard, extended through several years,—after the elaborate diatribes of the apostate, lying Times, to supply, according to the Stardard, the best and most complete view of the means which have been resorted to to de press and discourage the Protestant party. The great 0 is undoubtedly a great man, and might be a valuable acquisition to the Standard, as a rival to the great ENEAS, and we recommend our Con temporary to hire his invaluable services to supply a weekly quantity of abuse of Mr. O'CONNELL and the Government, as the Times hires the ser vices of the great ENEAs. _ _ We have some reason, however, to think, that this Great Protestant Meeting was not so magnifi cent a thing as the great O's speech. The Manchester Guardian of Saturday, gives a lion , ~ report of the proceedings, including an account of the number present, as follows : " We'were informed by a gentleman connected with the establishment, that the following was the extent of accom modation afforded to seat spectators in the several parts of t x ehouse:_Pit, 400 persons; lower boxes , 400 ; upper wi fe ! ! 400 ; gallery, 800 ; and the side slips in the gal tier, 2 00 ; d so far total,',: 2,0;). The pit was tolerably well additional asthe seat accommodation went, and some oroiaest m I,ats were placed in the corners near the but neither here lower boxe s were a l so fairly occupied ; • or e nor in th e p i t was th er e any crowd mgclosely seated. ilia squeezing alt seemed com f or t a bly a nd not very held a hundred more upper boxes would certainly have wa% abut half fill persons. very extensive,The gallery, which is part,hecvlidthout a single occupant. long seats, at the upper half. filled ; there being many The slips, too, would hav e 160 or till persons. On the stage there were probably to be full to persons. Taking all the parts of the theatre acctacommodation, except the gallerof give a total thisto the extent of their ,970 persons ; but with the y rnode ing the seats, and the full room which most of the ec a u u p cjitory ap_ pealed to occupy , we should say that there we no t more than 1,6 00 persons present. If from thisre probably number were deducted the clergymen acd committee s from Liver- pool, Warrington , and Wi g an, an d their neighbourhoods (we did not hear one word ab out th e Cheshire ministers or c ommittees) it would leave someth i ng like a rau't e r of be tween Sfty and sixty individuals , m en , women, and c h it. dree, from each of the churches and methodist chapel s in Manchester and Salford. Or, deducting the female part o f the auditory, at least 1,000, there would reinain only ahout $OO men and boys at this `Great Protestant Meeting' of ' South Lancashire and Cheshire.' " The "Great Protestant Meeting," then, of South Lancashire and Cheshire, was a collection of two thousand persons, including women and children ; in a neighbourhood where the population are ac customed to congregate by hundreds of thousands, Why, are Radicals of one township, would on any interesti ng occasion, muster ten tunes the number of stalwart mien. There is another singularity of this Great Protestant o f Meeting two populous coun- L ties. Of the four orators, who occupied seven hours in speaking, three were Irishmen ; and only one of those three, Mr. INI‘NEILE, of Liverpool, has any local connection with either of the coun ties. Dr. O'SULLIVAN and Dr. COOKE, came express from Ireland, and they, with the Rev. Mr. STOWELL, of Salford, were the orators of the Great South Lancashire and Cheshire Protestant Meeting. The respectable clergy kept aloof from the mountebanks. The respectable people despised them. Manchester is too shrewd and worldly . a place to tolerate a revival by the instrumentality of one or two wild Irish ranters ; and the Rev. Mr. STOWELL could justly complain that the merchants and manufacturers would not " spare a little time from their sordid counting-houses and mercenary gains," to swell the gaping congregation that lis tened to the turgid bombast of O'SuLuvAN, and the malignant sputter of Mr. ST'OWELL. This Reverend Gentlemen, so called from pre tending to teach the merciful and kind and saving doctrine of Christianity, so totally forgot the charity recommended by the Master he acknow ledges in word, and scorns b y hi s act i ons, as to u t te r the following denunciation, more worthy of a P o pe of the fourteenth than of a Protestant Mi nister of the nineteenth century : Surely it was high time for Manchester to stand up for the high principle, that he cannot be a fit Legislator for this country that is not a sound Christian man, when Manchester was di sgrace d b y Lending two Socinian Mem bers to Parliament.—(kplause.) Now our veritable and gentlemen opposition papers would assuredly represent him as agitateg for Sir G. Murray ; but he neither spoke a word for him, nor would he, if he could, have influenced a vote. He did not find fault with Mr. Phillips and Mr. Greg for their political views; they hai as much right to hold them as he had to hold his own ; but, without doubt, the man that held the doctrines they held, in their fulness an i knowingly, should perish everlastingly. He ( Mr. Stowell) was not afraid or ashamed of the Athanasian Creed. But he had to do with their principles as religious men, when they came to be public men; and he would say, that a Socinian was not a proper Representative qf a Christian community, because h e d en i e d' the very funda mental principle of the Christian system, tho deity of the Lord Jesus Christ; and he could not but mcurn and marvel, that there should have been found so many ortho dox men, that could so blind their judgment, and hoodwink their conscience as to vote for a Socinian, when they them selves believed that be held fatal error. 'Who gave it to him to set bounds to the mercies of the ALMIGHTY? What authority has he or any priest for asserting that unless a man believe just as he believes that man shall perish everlast ingly ? "In my father's house there are many mansions," is the language of his Master; " Judge not, lest ye be judged," is the admonition of his teacher ; but he dogmatically pronounces a con; demnation on his fellow-men, and limits the bene volence of the ever-living Goy. Not content, too, with damning men everlastingly, the Reverend Mr. STOWELL would punish them in this life. He would exclude them from the highest of all earthly honours—the approbation of their fellow-men. Mr. GREG and Mr. PHILLIPS, though they are inti mately acquainted with the trade of Manchester, know all the legislative wants of their townsmen, are stored with political knowledge, and are blessed with fortune—the approving gift of that merciful GoD, whose goodness this politico-religious fanatic limits—are not fit, according to him, to represent the Christian community of Manchester. It is a happiness for England that the half-savages from the sister island, and the kindred savages whom superstition nurses into all uncharitableness, have not sufficient influence to lure the men of Manchester from their counting-howses:to hearken unto such denunciations as those which Mr. STOWELL hurled forth against some of the most estimable and valuable of our citizens. It must not be forgotten that to this class of fa natics the Tories are looking to be restored to office. The meetings of the so-called Protestants have all a political object. Mr. O'SULLIVAN'S speech was one continued attack on Lord MELBOURNE'S Go vernment. The great aim of all the proceedings of file great Protestant Associations is to calum niate the ‘Vhigs, , and influence public opinion against them. Happily, as the number of persons present at their meetings proves, their will far sur. passes their power. They make more noise and foam than Messrs. O'CONNOR, HA RNEy, and Co., and are more impotent. We do not know, how ever, that Sir ROBERT PEEL and his friends should not rejoice in their powerlessness. Mr. STowELL gave a list of the persons fit to form a Protestant Ministry, and to he placed around the QUEEN, and LYNnuunsT, and WELLINGTON are ex ' eluded. They are not pure enough for the Court. The saintly RODEN, the meek Lord STANLEY, the temperate Lord ASHLEY, the brilliant Lord SANDON, are Mr. STO WELL ' S political heroes. If PEEL and WELLINGTON come in, it must be by forsaking their Liberal heresy. Thus spake the Rev. Mr. STOWELL of the great Tory leaders, and of that great Liberal act of theirs, which, coming in time, saved this country from revolution, and con firmed to the Rev. Mr. STOWELL the privilege of virtuperating the religion of other men, without run ning the risk of getting knocked on the head. Thus spake Mr. STOWELL If the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel came to place to-morrow, if they did not tack round, and instead of sacrificing Protestantism, instead of mutilating it more and more (for they bad made a sad rent in it), show that they had learned wisdom from their disastrous, betrayal he would not call it ; they did it in ignorance. In the unsus pecting honesty of their hearts, they could not believe there was such roguery and rascality on earth, under the mask of religion, to be found on the fair face of this fallen world, as they bad found under the mask of Popery. They had been scattered at that time, and they were only just now beginning to gather again ; and he hoped they would rally round the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Pc el, and he was sure those leaders had repented, though he was no father-confessor ; and he hoped that, if they were again brought into power and place, they would not only repent, but " bring forth fruits meet for repentance." He trusted that Wellington and Peel would make it one of tl:e first measures of their .iVministration to come forward and say,." Protestants of England, either you must repeal the Roman Catholic Relief Bill, or it will destroy the Pro testant Constitution and Protestantism with it. However it might to some seem madness to do so, he believed that either we must get rid of the Roman Catliclics from a power they never ought to have had, or they will get rid of us from power, and place, and Church, and liberty. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Protestant friends, whose contemptible crusade against their Catholic coun trymen he has silently encouraged, will not sup port him, therefore, unless he again eat dirt—more dirt. That such politico-religious fanatics as this Mr. STOWELL have not much power in sober England, whatever they may have in Ireland, or in Scotland, should gratify even the Tories. No• thing would they tolerate but their own narrow, selfish creed, and partial views ; and a Government, founded on a comprcmise of the conflicting interests and opinions of men of different creeds, occupations, and pursuits, would be on their principles an utter impossibility. The Saxon stability of the national character will now be of great service, for if Englishmen could be wrought on as the Irish orators of difFerent classes and creeds work on their countrymen—if the bulk of the people were not already , wiser than their pretended teachers, the whole nation would be driven into stark staring madness. Just think, reader, for one moment, what a people we should be were we all what the O ' CoNNoRs, the IVI‘NEILEs, the O'SULLI VANS, the PHILLPOTTS, the STowEr,Ls, and the BURNES would make us, and bless your stars that the influence of such raving fanatics is very small. The arrivals from New York yesterday are not likely to give increased confidence to the holders of .A.iterican securities. They bring news of some iner drams so entangled with their business or other edgagements as to find it necessary to suspend pay ments. One day brought kith five occurrences of thi3 kind. Such shakiness lvill not facilitate the exportation of bullion to meet the enga gernent „f the United States Bank. It is not merely the cur rency, however, which is at present threatened, though we are assured that the Bank of England has its one pound notes prepared, and i look s for ward without apprehension , bec ause it s sure the Government will, at the first appearance of danger, issue an Order in Council to prohibit the payment of its, notes in gold—it is not merely the currency whlgh i s en d ang ered, but the general credit of so ciety' bringing in its train a series of social calami ties.-.

For nearly half a century the currency has formed a topic of anxious consideration to our most enlight ened philosophers, statesmen, and merchants. Dur ing that period society has been exposed to immense disasters through the currency, and here we are now again watching, in almost breathless anxiety, the arrival of every ship from the United States, and the return of every wet day, to decide the fate of two great money corporations, and the whole system of commercial credit of the old and the new world. Surely there must be something wrong in a system which perplexes calculation, imposes great present difficulties on trade, and fills men with alarm and anxiety for the future ? If there be nothing wrong in a system full of such consequences, then are the hopes and the fears, the sufferings and the pleasures of man, no index to right and wrong, and not proper motives for action. But what is the system ? A great corporation is equally chartered in both hemispheres. In both it is a sort of pri vileged monopolist. A great body of the most wealthy combine, without exerting any industry or enterprize of their own, to get more wealth. Not content with the immense advantages such a combina tion bestows on them, they procure privileges from the State, which at once enhance their power and exclude individuals from all chance of success in competing with them. They can do nothing, therefore, but come to terms with the cor porations, and both here and the United States, all monied men are drawn into their vortices,:and on their revolutions depends all commercial credit. Such a system is morally wrong in its origin and politically disastrous at every period of its ex istence. What happens now ? The body to which we have granted these privileges in England, and given this monopoly, is straitened by the expor tation of gold to buy food for the people. Another great corporation—that of the landlords, equally anxious, like the monied capitalists, to have a large income without toiling for it,will not allow the manu facturers of England to buy food abroad with cloth and hardware. They insist on the whole people buying their food of them, and of them only. They insist on the manufacturers giving them their own price for corn, and giving them the manufac tured articles at a less price than they would fetch in the free markets of the world. The ways of Providence, however, are not their ways ; and a wet season, a deficient harvest, renders their produce wholly insufficient.„ for feeding the people. As they have cut ofttiQlpurchase of foreign corn by cloth and hardwaro,it'must be bought by-gold ; and the gold is necessarily - taken out of the' coffers of that body to which= great combination and a pe culiar privilege haife„'‘ , lven . a monopoly of it. To save its gold, insteiir of demanding that an end be put to the cause of,tfie exportation by a repeal of the Corn-laws, e one great monopolist dare not raise its voic?pgainst the other, it raises the rate of interest, it cip.rnps all commercial enterprize, it harrasses all those who trade on borrowed money, it grievously injures, or ruins, all who have calculated their business in the expectation of getting money at three or five per cent., and it spreads a blight over society. BetwiXt the two monopoliesboth morally unjust, both politically injurious— the people are harrassed with anxiety, ground down to poverty, and filled with suffering and despair. Yet is there hope for us—the two monopolies can not longer co-exist ; and if they do not destroy each other, one or both will be annihil a t e d by t he public voice. By the arrival of the packet ship Montreal yes> terdav at Portsmouth, in nineteen days from New York, we have received American P - apers to the 11th ult. inclusive, being four days later than the arrivals yesterday from Liverpool. They con tain no political news of importance. Money con tinued extremely scarce in New York. Some of the best merchants' notes were selling at from 11- to 14 per cent. a month discount, and the United States Bank post notes at a still greater rate. Some were sold at 2 per cent. a month, being at the rate of 24 per cent. per annum. This is not the result of any want of confidence in the Bank, but is solely attributable to the scarcity of specie. In Philadelphia the want of money was not so severely felt, as several of the City Banks were doing all in their power to accommodate their customers. The Great Western arrived at New York at nine o'clock on the morning of the 10th, having made the outward passage from Bristol in seven teen days. The Montreal sailed before the effect of the advices brought by her from commercial houses in this country could be ascertained upon the money market. (From the New York Commercial Intelligencer.) SHIPWRECK AND Loss OF LlME.—Several seamen ar rived yesterday afternoon, N'Y h o stated that they hcl , inr , ' cd to the ship Milledgeville, Porter, which left New York on the 21st ult., with a cargo of dry goods, &c., and s evera l passengers bcund to Savannah, and was totally lost on Thursday morning at 2 A. m. following, on Chiekarnaeo mieo, about 20 miles to the northward of Cape Hatteras. Eight paiSengers, among whom was a female, and one of the crew, woi c drowned. _ . _ Captain Porter remained on the beach, to attend to that part of the cargo which washed ashore. We also learn from the crew of the ship Milledge, that a number of cattle were driven ashore on the beach, sup. posed to be from some vessel bound to the West Indies.-- Norioa Beacon, Sept. 7. INniaNA.—lt is noticed in several papers that the State of Indiana has recently lost a large sum of money by her Fund Commissioners. The Cincinnati Republican states as the current report that the Commissioners placed bonds of the State to the amount of 1,000,000 of dollars in the hands of a broker, signed and executed, and the b ro k er was to obtain the funds. It seems he did so and failed, and left the Fund Commissioners an empty hag to hold. UNFORTUNATE OCCURRENCE.—We learn from theilays cille Eagle that, en Thursday last, while the Rev. P. L. McAboy and several other persons were standing on the first floor of the steam mill of Messrs. How and Co., at Murpheysvide, the third floor, which contained a large quantity of wheat, gave way, and the whole burst through the second floor and buried Mr. MeAbay and two others to a considerable depth. In a few minutes the victims were rescued, but Mr. McAboy was found dead. The other two were injured, but nut dangerously. The Maysville Eagle speaks in the most exalted terms of the deceased, as a young Presbyterian clergyman of superior talents, great intelligence, ardent piety, a meek and humble spirit, and extensive usefulness. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, &c., SEPT. 9. The Stock transactions were quite moderate to day, but at no reduction on Saturday's prices, except''on Merchant's Exchange Company's Shares, whichAell off per cent ; Delaware and Hudson Canal - lid. vanced per cent. ; and American Exchange Bank 1 per cent. The Money Market continues in much the same condition as on Friday and Saturday, and the small trans actions that were made in Exchange on England, were at 4,80 to 4,8-1 dollars (8 to 9 per cent), the pound sterling. It is stated that Messrs. Prime, Ward, and King hav e withdrawn from the market of sellers of English Bills for the present. COTTON.--The market continues dull—but there exists but little disposition to operate until later intelligence is received from Europe. Flom —The receipts are quite light of both Western and other kinds, and we do not perceive any material change in prices. CORN.—There have been some additional supplies, and the sates making are at previous rates.

LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM BUENOS AYRES.— We have been favoured by a c mmercial house in this city with the following important intelligence, contained in a letter datcd " Monte Video, July 6, 1539. " Our last advices from I3uenos Ayres give the follow ing information, and the report seems to be generally be lieved. On the 27th ultimo, supposed at the instiffaton of Rosas, a mob entered the Senate Chamber, whilst the House was in Session, and put to death the President in his chair; shot his son, a Colonel in the army, and se veral others; and about 200 p ersons b a d b een ar rested and thrown into prison. The cause of these proceedings is said to have been an attempt prematurely discovered to upset the present Administration." SOUTH AMERICA.

The Chilians were about to evacuate Lima. At Payton from eighteen to twenty persons were dying daily of the small-pox. It was said that Gamarra, the new President of Peru, had declared war against Bolivia. The Congress of New Grenada have exempted, for four years, the excise, road, and import duty on the products of Bolivia, Peru, Ylexico and Central America ; and also the following manufactured goods, viz.:—straw hats, baizes, tocuyos, sergas, (coarse freizes) and pellones, (robes of skin and fur ; ) exempting from export duty gold hi dust, bullion, or, manufactured articles, and silver, (in bars the form of pine apples,) or manufactured articles, provided said metals are the product of the provinces of the isthmus, or countries' other than New Grenada. Corre spondence passing the isthmus to the friendly governments, and their diplomatic and consular agents, is henceforward to be exempt from postage. Vessels, foreign or national, coming to Panama are also exempted from tonnage, and entrance and anchorage duties. There is no news of any political interest in the Paris Journals of Sunday. The Journal des De bats states that since the return of M. ANSELME to Constantinople, great efforts have been made to fix upon an answer to MEHEMET ALI in the name of the Five Powers, but the Envoys cot having received precise instructions from their respective Governments, were by no means agreed. " The Russian Minister," continues the Debats, " de clared that he would ask for his passports, if a French or English vessel of war entered the Dar danelles. Admiral Stopford endeavoured on the 17th to obtain permission to enter the Dardanelles, but on the 21st he received frow KHOSREW a po sitive refusal. The situation of Constantinople is menacing ; the guards are doubled, patroles conti nually moving about. Crowds in coffeehouses are forbidden. Three times have incendiaries endea voured to set fire to d fferent quarters. HALIL PACHA is on very bad terms with Kilos REW ; the wife of the former, daughter of the late Sultan, incites him, and the Sultana Mother joins her in hating KHOSREW. Eight days ago there was a lively discussion between KHOSREW and the Sul tana Mother, the Kislar Aga taking the latter's part. She insisted on being made immediately ac quainted with the resolutions of the Divan. The Cheik-el-Islam is also opposed to KHOSREW. The Divan has determined on changing all the Pachas and Governors in Asia." The Coltrrier Francais blames the French Go vernment for not co-operating more cordially with England in settling the affairs of the East, add ing, that were England to identify her interests with Russia, who seeks, and would be proud of her alliance, France would have only herself to blame for the defection of her best ally. " The French Ministry," truly observes our Parisian Contemporary, " has never clearly said what it wished—what it meant, and has constantly refused to fix a precise basis on which negociation might be undertaken. Is one to be surprised if the Eng lish Cabinet has taken this tergiversation for a re fusal ?" Although there is little fear of our seek ing or accepting a closer alliance with . Russia, yet there is much truth, and a great deal of sound sense in these observations. The Moniteur of Sunday thus officially an nounces the conclusion of the treaty with Texas : A treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation between France and the Republic of Texas was signed, on the 25Lla inst., by the President of the Council, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and General Henderson, Plenipotentiary Minister of that Republic. 0:1 the same day General Henderson wai received by his Majesty. There is no news of the slightest interest from the Spanish frontier. The following official notice has been posted at Bayonne, and the other towns on the frontier :-.._. TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. BAruNNE, SEPT. 25.—The Minister or the Interior writes me as tllows " The prohibition against the transmit of goody by the frontier of the Lower Pyrenees being at present unavail able, orders have been communicated to me by telegraph that matters should be re-established on the same footing as they were before the ordinance of 3d .111) , . 1835. " The Sous-Prefet HENA ULT." (From the Papers.) According to the Gazette de France, Don Carlos does not intend making a long stay at Bourges. The corps diplomatique at Paris, it appears, strongly remonstrated against the sort of captivity in which the Prince was kept by the French police, and the Government, after some hesitation, sent passports to Don Carlos, who, it was be lieved, would shortly proceed to Germany. La Mode says that this application on the part of the Foreign Minis ters had given rise to a stormy drbate in the Council ; and that Marshal Soult insisted on Don Carlos being detained . until the termination of the war, b u t th a t th e ma j or i ty o f his colleagues had decided that he should be instantly liberated. Letters received in Trieste positively mention that Hafiz Paella had entered into an arrangement with the Curds, and joined the Egyptians. Captain Caille, Marshal Soult's Aide-de-Camp, was_to have embarked for France on the 7th. We find by the Gazzetta Pienzontese of the 24th ult., that the Queen of Naples gave birth on the 17th to a Prince, who was named Albert Maria Francis. CIELGIAN I. UNDS—BaussELs, S/iPT. 27.

ASTLEY'S THEATRE.—The Tournament here loses nothing of interest by repetition, for crowded houses continue to give the best unequivocal proof of the fact by their attendance, The piece is not simply a silent show of the machinery of a Tournament, but there is dialogue to supply a story, including the laws, the chances, the losses, and the general objects of such ex• hibitions, agreeably to the estimation in which they were held by the people of those times. In the main intent of the piece, Mr. Ducrow appears to have drawn most profusely upon his vein for spectacle. He has summoned to his aid apparently all he knew of stage effect and scenic iilusion. The groupings in detached morsels were great, and the tableaux, in fact, were great ; they were magnificent. IMPORTANCE OF THE CHINA TRADE.—It was stated in the course of the interview which the Liverpool deputation had with Lord Palmerston, on Friday last, that one of the deputation had exported more manufactured goods to Canton in one year than the East India Company had exported, in the same period, during their monopoly of the trade. GLASGOW SAVINGS' BARK.—We have very great pleasure in stating this most gratifying fact, so creditable to the working classes of Glasgow, namely, that on the 20th of November last, the accumulation of savings amounted to 90,0001. sterling, and now they amount to the sum of 120,0001., being an increase of 30,000/. in ten short months.—Glasgow Paper. FIRE.—The Morning Chronicle briefly alludes to a fire that broke out yesterday afternoon, and which for a while threatened destruction, not only to its own, hut to the houses in the immediate neighbourho o d : " Yesterday afternoon a fire occurred in one of the apartments contaiaing our printing machines, but a speedy supply of water enabled the firemen who arrived with th e diff ere nt engines to over come i t before much damage had been done." The Ad vertiser furni s h es t h e f o llowing particulars : The fire was first observed issuing from the machine-room. An alarm was immediately given, when the engineer rushed down stairs, and was appalled at beholding the engine room in one entire blaze. I\lessengers were immediately sent in all directions for fire-engines. A good supply of water was immediately obtained, and the flames were in a short time got under. The desk in the counting-house, which contained money and important documents, was torn from its position and conveyed to the Morning Post office for security. When the extent of the cala mity was ascertained, it was found that one of the pr nt ingmachines was nearly altogether destroyed. Ano ther machine in the same room was nearly sharing the same fate, but, owing to the exertions of the firemen, was fortunately rescued. Of course the preservation of the latter o ne w ill prevent any interference with the publication of our Contemporary. Not more than a quar ter of an hour could have elapsed from the discovery of the conflagration until it was entirely subdued. PUBLIC DINNER TO THE DUKE OF BUC cLEucH BY HIS TENANT R y.—Thc dinner to the Duke of Buccleuch, given to him by his tenantry in ' the counties of Roxburgh and Dumfries, and which was at first fixed to take place on the 12th instant, bat was obliged to be postponed in consequence of the illness of one of the member s of his Grace's family, took pl ace on Th urs d a y evening, in a pavili on erected for the occasion within the demesne of the an cient seat of his family at Branxholm. The Kelso Chronicle states a f ac t pro b a bly applicable to many dis tricts, namely, that in order to get up an imposing de monstration, the Tories industriously beat up for re cruits, who were presented with tickets gratuitously for the dinner.

We have received New York Papers to Sept. 11, 11 the packet ship Montreal. COMMERCIAL.—The transactions in Stocks yesterday were to a limited extent, and prices remain about the same, except a slight change in the following :—Dela ware and Hudson improved 31, and Harlem Railroad 4 per cent. Merchants' Exchange declined 14 per cent. since Saturday. United States Bank closed at 1041, same as on Saturday. Exchange on London 9,1- 1. The Great Western is reported being below on the 10th. The Mobile Mercantile Advertiser of August 30th says, " Our market remains in the same dull condition we noticed in our last. Sickness still prevails to about the same extent. The citizens who are not detained on business have lett this city : our business streets are de serted. Nothing has been done in cotton, not a bale has either been received or sold since our last review." THE PHILADELPHIA MARKET, ending the week, Saturday, Sept. 9.--American cotton and woollen goods —Pricey continue without material change, and the demand has only been moderate, but is rather on the increase. Exchange—But little doing in Foreign Bills. NEW ORLEANS.—The same degree of (fullness and inactivity so frequently adverted to, and accounted for, continues to prevail in all departments of trade. The epidemic is moving in its course, and is making rapid progress, considering the early period of the season. We have received Montreal papers to the Bth of September. Exchange—We have not heard of any operations in the Exchange this week. City Bank draws on London at 10:1- per cent. ; Private may be quoted at from 81 to 9i per cent. ; Drafts on New York, 101 - per cent. The steamer Patriot arrived from Quebec about noon yesterday. Our Correspondent writes that the weather was beautiful, and that the farmers were getting in their crops in fine order. We received the fllowing on Thursday from our Correspondent at Moore, Western district, dated 24ti, August :—" Sir—On the morning of the 19th instant a party of American brigands crossed the river and com menced their work of plunder within a few miles of the station. Sutherland, the commander on the frontier, immediately on learning the invasion, got equipped and proceeded as far as Nugents with what men he could collect ; but the cowardly rascals had decamped, taking considerable property with them. They threatened the lives of several of the inhabitants." The following has been posted at the North and South American Coffee-house : " Falmouth, Sept. 29. •" D,ar Sir—l beg to inform you that the Hop, packet arrived this evening from Mexico, with a freight of 1,100,000 dollars, principally on merchants' account, sailed from Vera Cruz August 3, and Havant)lll the 24th. No news of any consequence. Two passengers, I am sorry to say, the commander L. Rees, the mastei carpenter, and boatswain, are all dead from the yellow fev,r." The accounts received by the Lisbon mail this morn-' ing state that considerable sensation has been produced among the thinking part of the people, by the publica tion of Ribiera de Sabroza's note o; the II th instant to Lord Howard de Walden. together with the private notes of his Lordship to Viscount Sada Bandeira, writ ten previous to his departure for England. All was quiet at Lisbon, and there was no news of consequence when the packet left. THE FUNDS. The most important arrival is the Mexican packet, which brings a freight of eleven hundred thousand dol lars, merchants' account. There was no news of any importance when the above packet left Vera Cruz. By the Lisbon mail all was quiet in the above ca pital, and no news of consequence communicating. The settling of the Foreign Account yesterday went off better than was generally anticipated ; very. - large amounts of Spanish and Portuguese Stocks have been carried over for the next account, and for which enor mous interests have been paid.

BAGS OF WIND.—We witnessed an interest ing experiment, this forenoon, on board the revenue cutter Hamilton, Capt. Sturgis, which was intended to illustrate the practicability of raising a vessel by means of cylindrical bags, placed under her bottom and filled with atmospheric air. The bags were each of large size, capable of containing 2,500 cubic feet of air. They were confined by means of ropes passing un der the keel, and afterwards filled by two forcing-pumps propelling the air through tubes into the cylindrical floats. The bags were made of three parts of stout cotton canvas, made air and water tight by means of India rubber, and were prepared by Mr. Howard, of Rox bury, under the direction of the inventor, Mr. M'Kean. The cutter was raised considerably by this process, but the floats were made for a larger vessel, and when in flated, a large portion of them rose above the water. The utility of this apparatus, thus adopting a well known principle in pneumatics to a practical use, must be obvious to every one. It will enable vessels with large draughts of water to pass over barred harbours, as New Orleans, Mobile, Ocracoke inlet, Szc., without ,ightening. It may be used, also, with advantage sunk ntag; to in various other purpos es , as raisin g . sev eral fathoms of wat e r, B:c_ Boastolvtess Mercantile Journal. Journal. MAGAZINE DAY. BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE. Maga contains much useful and agreeable reading this month ; and among other novelties, introduces us to an Austrian dramatist, the Baron Von Zed litz, who, it seems, " was originally in the army, and served in the war of 1809, under the Prince of Hohtnzollern ; was present at the battles of Ratis bon, Aspern, and Wagram ; and was afterwards appointed Imperial Chamberlain ; but, nvrrving in 1810, withdrew from the army, and devoted himself to literw ure." The Baron is the author of many successful poems and plays; and we learn, for the first time, that it is to his pen we are indebted for the ballad entitled " Napoleon's Midnight Review," which we well remember reading in translation, and which struck us asbeing fully equal, in the wild, dar ing vigour of its conception, and the ghastly and high-wrou ,, :it character of its descrptions, to Bur oe's tar-famed " Leon Ore." In the article hetore us, e have a clever critical no ice, accompanied by a translation of several of the best pa,ages, of the :lrarna, " Torquato Tasso, or the Prison and the Crown," in w Inch Von Zediiiz displays much more of the fancy of the poet, than the skill of the dramatist. Of the accuracy of the version we cannot presume to spea!r —not having the slight est acquaintance with tha original—hut the style is spirited and graceful ; and we are will iig to believe that it is correct. "On the feigned madness of Hamiet"—that ferta9 theme which has given rise to so iiikh discussion—the writer evinces considerable 111.ditness and inge nuity. as theory may be discovered in the fol lowing passage : _ _ . " For ' this feigned madness," writes Dr. Johnson, " there appears no adequate cause, for he does nothing which he might not have done with the reputation of sanity." The feint is not quite so unconnected with the plot as the worthy doctor would here represent it. One very manifest putpoae of adopting such a disguise, was to obtain access to the King in some moment of unguarded privacy, when Hamlet could with certainty accomplish his revenge, or task of retribution. The rambling of a maniac over all parts of the palace, and at all hours, would ex cite no suspiciorF; and thus an opportunity might be afforded him of striking the fatal blow. And this end is in some measure answered; for we may attribute to this counterfeit of insanity, that be actually lights upon the King in his chamber while he is kneeling alone and at his prayers ; and thus an opportunity is given of exe cuting his revenge, which may not the less advance the piece because it is not taken advantage of. But, though not altogether unconnected with the plot, this pretended insanity effects so little, and is so carelessly sustained, that it might be censured as a bungling contrivance, if it had not a still more intimate connexion with the character and temper of Hamlet himself. It is in him rather than in the plot that the sufficient reason of this disguise is to be de tected. A very slight prospect of ad iantage, or show of palicy, was enough to lead him to adopt a stratagem which Accorded well with the over-excited and turbulent con dition of his thoughts. FA' these some disguise was, at all events, to be found—Some concealment from the ob servation of men ; and to wear the wild mask of insanity was not more toils: ma to his spirit, more burdensome and 'oppressive, than to support that other counterfeit of a smooth, unruffled, and contented aspect. We do not hold with this theory, dexterously as it is argued, but agree with Goethe, who has com mented on Hamlet's peculiar idiosyncrasy with the keenness and subtlety of the metaphysician and the line fancy of the poet, that the Royal Dane's in sanity is not assumed, but, on the contrary, is the natural result of a burden laid upon a mind too weak to bear it. The character of Hamlet's task it will be remembered, was such as required vast energy and decision of mind ; but to these qualities ne had no pretension, being wholly of a contemp lative and vacillating tutu ; hence he is constantly i )utting off the evil day, reasoning and musing when he should be acting ; ever convinced that he must perpetrate the solemn act of retribution which engrosses all his thoughts, yet ever shrinking from it ; till at last the a(!itation of his mind fairly breaks !fowl) his reason, and he becomes a decided lunatic. As the simplest and most obvious solution of a difficult'; that has puzzled so inaily wise heads, we accept this interpretation of Goethe's as the genuine one. Others have beat about the bush, but he conies strait to the point. We should like to hear Christopher North on this subject. The introduc• tory portion of this Essay on Hamlet, speaks of the character of Julius C2esar as being " pompous and starched"—a " rhomontade figure." Surely this is not the case ! Has the writer no recollec tion of the famous passage, which shows a marked individuality of character, beginning with "cowards die many times before their death ;'' of the equally striking " thrice is he armed that bath his quarrel just ;"and of the reflections 6. Let me have men about me that are fat ; Sleek- headed fools, and such as sleep o' nights. You Cassius bath a lean and hungry look," . . . which are so exquisitely appropriate in the mouth of a tyrant who is aiming at unlimited despotism, and does not choose to have those keen-sighted politicians about him, who may penetrate his ulte rior views ? We quote these passages, imperfectly we fear, from memory ; but had we a Shakspeare lying by us to refer to, we doubt not we could find many additional proofs that Julius Caesar, though he fills but a small space in the play that goes by his name, was anything but a mouthing, pompous, common-place character. " Picture Exhibitions" shows an intimate acquaintance with the fine arts. Some of the remarks are, however, too dogmatical, and thrown off in too hasty a spirit. " Ten Thou sand a Year" exhibits promise, but it is crude and ill-digested. If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well, even for a Monthly Magazine. The author, who is, we suspect, a novice, and therefore should be treated gently, fatally overdoes his theme. He shows more foliage than'fruit. But there is good stuff in him nevertheless. " State Trials" is a delightful article ; but our limits will not allow us to enlarge on it as it deserves. NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. For once in a way, we have received this periodi cal in due time, which we merely mention, because it is an agreeable surprise. The first article " Emily, or the Unexpected Meeting," is a tale from the pen of the Editor, Theodore Hook. It is made up of the slenderest possible materials, and comes to a very abrupt and awkward close. Speech-making after Dinner," is smartly and epigrammatically written, with an arch vein of satire running through it. It is not a mere sketch of the fancy, but is evidently dashed off at a heat from the life. One, at least, of the " eloquent" post prandial orators, to whom the author alludes, we think we can recognize. But it is not so much England, as Ireland, that is the country of after dinner speechifyers. There, attendance at a public ovation, is quite a serious matter, because if you attempt to listen, you are sure to fall asleep—lrish imagery being of a peculiarly narcotic character ; and if you happen to snore during your slumber, you are sure to he knocked on the head. The " Hypochondriac" is a lively paper, in the good old essay style of the 'Spectator—that is to say, con sisting of truthful reflections illustrated and enforced by brief and apposite sketches of character. We subjoin the introductory passage : N 0 bore is so truly insupportable as the bore hypochon• driacal, whether the unfortunate victim who is laid under the most serious of all contributions. namely, that of lis tening to complaints of diseased feelings, be an ordinary acquaintance!, or the medical adviser of the wretched in• valid. It is in vain even for the doctor to plead other engagements, in order to escape from thousand times told tale of sufferings. If his patient be of the masculine gen .der, he is held by a button, which he must either lose, or consent to listen; if of the tender sex, the thin and I , llnclied hand is laid upon his forearm ; and when we re flect that the fair complainant is labouring under the dread of death, with an unconquerable passion for life, robbed, as it apparently is to her, of all that can prove the least pro ductive of enjoyment, who can find heart enough to cut short the thread of her details. If we refuse to listen, how much pleasure do we mar; for in analyzing the feelings of the hypochondriac, we cannot avoid concluding, that if sympathy be a balm to suffering, his complainings, to a certain degree, must be productive of pleasure. They south his morbid feelings; and, in finding a gratification from detailing his griefs, he seeks every opportunity of doing so it is evident also, that in spite of all his repinings, the hypochondriac has an insupportable aversion to be re lieved of the burden which oppresses him. He loves to sit under the cloud which overshadows his mind, and to court that morbid excess of apprehension, which embitters his existence. He turns his eyes from the numerous com. forts which balance the evils of mortality, and dashes from his lip the cordial which Providence has bestowed to re fresh man in his weary pilgrimage. It is a curious fact, that although the hypochondriac is miserable if he is not under medical management, yet he rarely follows any ad vice which is giv, , n him. He is, in fact, in a worse pre. dicament than Tantalus—he longs for that which is set before him, but nevertheless, refuses it when ho has the power of possession. How to Get On" tells some plain ungracious truths. The following is true to the letter literary adventurer thrusts himself into all compa nies, and becomes a member of all societies. He talks loud and long at Institutes and Associations, and dogrsati zes at tea-ta b les, becomes a pro fessional dine r ou t, an d i s perhaps m i sta k en f or a wit, merely because he thinks well enough of hitn self to be impertinent to his betters. If such a man is placed by circumstance in the line of pro- EVENIN EDITIONr motion, he will stand a fair chance of obtaining it to the exclusion of the man of merit, who posses ses every fitness fur office, save the capac ity of making that fitness known to nhose who wil l no ! ' - take the trouble of discovering it for linn• Empty self-sufficiency like this, however, will nqt stand the " literary adventurer " in the long run. He may chatter or pun -himself into notoriety for a while, but to succeed permanently he must produce sterling vouchers—give um quivocal certificates of sound ability—in a word, as Burke says, speaking of "he must exhibit his ticket at every turn pike." A flashy flippancy of speech and writing will ch much—but only for a season. " The Widow Married" contains some broad humorous scenes, drawn in Mts. Trollope's most effective manner, We cannot say, however, that we have any sympa thy with that tall, starinc , , dignified specimen Of aristocratic assumption, who answers to the name of General Hubert. He stalks through the scene with all the solemnity of a ghost in tragedy, and is just about as silent and superfluous. ‘• The life and Times of Peter Pri , rgins" display humour , and m.casionall ) , nice observance of the more sa lient points of character, but it always leaves off at the moment when we are most interested in it. We have a great honor of the words " to be continued" at the end of a Magazine article. They deter many readers from perusing the sketch or story thus disfi gurcd. A " Charade" by f is a pleasant puzzle , of which we have not time to attempt the solution. BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY. The present chapters of "Jack Sheppard" shows more tact and nature, in the way of dialogue, than Mr. Ainsworth is usually in the habit of mani festing. Tir:4 supper at Kneebone's, the Jacobiti cal linen-draper, is, in particular, described with much spirit ; and no: less animated is the acco unt. of the gaoler Shotbolt's mishap. We have nothing of Jonathan Wilde in this chapter,. which is a re lief, for the thief-taker is a most repelling charac ter, in whose actions it is utterly I,:npossible take the slightest interest. We should just as soon think of sympathising with the fortunes of a Me phistopheles. The author should beware of as signing a prominent station.' in his fictions tt.' per sonages such as these, who possess nothing of • act minty but the form, f o r h e ma y re ly on it they . like scarecrows to frighten awa y hi s r e a ders. " 11.1Tt. cent Eden " resumes his diverting Oxford adven tures this month. There is a lightness and droller) . about these confessions and recollections that rely' tiers them excessively diverting. Odd as is the character of John "Raffletoi), the non -reading Oxonian, it is scarcely an exaggeration, but it wi ll be at once recognised by those wh o remember wh at the Oxford or Cambridge roue was, ,nine twenty or thirty years ago. We subjoin a letter written by this worthy to one of his brother students,- a fter hi s expulsion from the University. It is full whin ? sical absurdities : "MY DEAR LANE—I sit down, according to prow ise,otof ' gibe a slight sketch of my proceedings since I left yokl• , i d my journey to t own , I con f ess t h at I h ave b ut a fait"' a- d indistinct recollection.

The impromptu answer which I gave him lam afraid I have also forgotten ; but you may judge of it so r '; and pith be the dustman' s r• j o i n d er , w hi c h was expr ess iv of a decided willingness to submit to the somewhat 1110'1 tural operation of " being blowed if that ere cove frnO s l a have taken lodgings wi t h a ca b man t h e l as t time he Wl'' ro town, and kept him up at nigh t s on purpose for to I s his language." A quarter of an h our mo re saw me core P' ing from the vehicle of one of the identical class of ie d with whom the imaginative d us t man had thus assoatte me, and making furious efforts to effect an en trance - tat. o my old quarters, the C o l onna d e Hotel, Charles-.street,2ll itie H ,yrnark,t ; in which, in spite of the suggestion I , t passing policeman, " that the hotel bad gone to bed, an " hadn't got up eg.fin yet," I at last succeeded; and the bed-rootas being full, was ushered into a bath• rocm ed peeled—fell asleep in the water--and dreamt I was titu into a bathing- mac hine, for two hours _after which, the household b lug on the stir, I proceeded to the eofre,!!' room, and ordered breakfast.

One thing, however, rather puzzled me; ai-d that: was, what I was to do in town now I was there; and this' being a question, the answer to which was—like my breakfast—not quite read)—l began to cast my eye,: listlessly over the columns—first of the Arcade, as then of - the Morning Paper, which th e wa i ter had .iu„.", brought in.

My first faro was an actor wh° been jumping Jim Crow,' before a crowded audience 1 _ the Haymarket, and had to repeat the part the instant be had finished there, at the Surrey. In I put him, and a way I dashed ; the immoveable blinds preventing his reds( where where I was going, till I pulled him out full-dress ed in the Regent's-park, and drove off, leaving him a prey to to bitter reflections, and a cool starlight night. Th e neat morning[l had the satisfaction of; reading in the same paPe j r that a person supposed to be the notorious Spring heele d Jack, had been fired at without effectlin the Regent's-park , and that the manager of the Surrey Theatre had escaped with difficulty from the fury of a disappointed pit and gal lery who rose in arms against him. My next employes was a most respectable old lady, just come up (with two— grand-daughters I suppose they were), to town, of which she evidently knew nothing. She wanted to be driven to a quiet family hotel. I drove her to the Penitentiary; thundered at the door; pulled her out, girls, boxes, and all , and drove off."
