On this subject I ``. l talt s or to say, that while it is our tO spread alarm, to belisTo and trust THE SUN, LONDOS, MONDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 1, 1845 • that the Government, that the country, will act soberly and wisely and justly, it is a less difficult thing than some people imagine to begin a dispute whose result no man in the end can control. Let the Government only be sure that it is right; in the words of one of the late Presidents of the United States, let us claim all that is right, and ask for no thing that is wrong, freely and magnanimously, and without any particular array of patriotic declaration.—(Laughter.) Among the other great questions upon which the election of next Monday must have some bearing, is that system of laws which we call the tariff, which has received the genetal support of the people of the state. Every • man expects a ferocious attack upon the whole, system. Every man expects that, since the Government now in power was established by the general voice of the anti tariff states, an attempt will be made to destroy that whole policy. How far they will succeed I know not. There are circumstances of encouragement—circumstances of an opposite character. But my question is with the people - of Massachusetts. What have the people of Massachusetts to expect from any change? Taking the Act of 1842 as a general law, of general operation, what have the good people of Massachusetts for good to expect from any change? The question is, whether the tariff is condu cive to the prosperity of Massachusetts? What is the criterion? 'I put it upon one ground only; I put it upon this one ground. Ido not inquire what profits are made by the rich capitalist, or whether or not a few individuals grow rich under its influence; but I put the question—Are the labouring classes well off? Are their wages high ? Is labour in demand? (and these questions comprise the prosperity of five•sixths of the community). Are they in good condition ? I ask these questions, and if you give me a country where labour is in demand and the labour ing classes well off, I call that a happy country— tariff or no tariff.—(Cheers.) Does any man suppose that if the tariff of 1842 were repealed it would raise the price of wages in Massachusetts? There are parts of it which had we opportunity, we might doubtless alter to advantage ; it has its imperfections; but take it as a whole, does any man suppose that if it were destroyed to-day, and the grand favourite system of a horizontal duty, as they call it, of twenty per cent., should be levied in its stead, that the labour of Massachusetts would be recompensed as it is now? I observe that the Government organ quotes the ex- ample of England to support this theory ,. 4 ad valorem duties and a revenue standardl K and the rate Of twenty per cent. is fixed upon as just right. :Now, I have reason to know that, from the beginning of this Government down from General Washington's Administration to this time, the average of all the duties, reducing specific duties to advalorem, would amount to an average ad valorem duty of more than thirty-four per cent. Another fact is, that while we are constantly told of the example of England in this matter, and of her liberal policy, and are advised, as all those whoread our Government Peel, must remember, to follow in the footsteps of Sir R. Peel, and adopt his liberal policy—l have seen it demon strated, by competent writers of. England, that the average rate of duty in that country this day, even under Sir R. Peel's new system, is no less than forty-nine per cent. Forty-nine per cent. and yet we are to follow the example of Eng land and bring down our duties to twenty per cent. ! (Laughter and cheers.) One thing more, gentlemen.' There has always been an attempt—for the last twenty years or more—to show that this protective policy helps the rich only —building up such establishments only as Lowell and Springfield, and other places where large operations are carried on. This is not the foundation of the system, and never was. If you go back to the adoption of the constitu tion, or if you look at the state of things amongst us as it is now, the fact is, that it is in the manufactures of a more indi vidual character, the shop manufactures, those of the workers in iron, in brass, of the artisans working in their own shops, with the assistance of their wives and children, these are the interests for the benefit of which the system was founded in Washington's .time, and is now. And let every man think of this, and when he is told of the aggrandizement of the great capitalists at Lowell, and Dover, and Providence and elsewhere, let him look at the many hundreds of thou sands of small capitalists—hammering: over their own anvils —making hats in their own shops—obtaining by those processes of manufacture support and education for their families; and then let him remember that without the duties at the customs there is not one of those:manufacturers that could survive twelve months. Gentlemen, the election is before us. We should be here to-night with no possible doubt of the result of next Monday's balloting, were it not that in the course of years of prosperity there have grown up—l will hardly say, divisions among the Whig party — but that some of them have separated from us, drawing off from us friends, many good men, who think with us upon those great questions, pail icularly in regard to the peace of the country, the protective policy, and the maintenance of the constitution of the United States and of Massachusetts. These have withdrawn effectually all their aid from us, in the sup port of these great objects, for the sake of what thay call a " separate organization." I allude to the party called the Liberal party, and to the Native American party. I cannot speak of either of these parties in terms of reproach or unkindness. I think 'of them " more in sorrow than in anger."—(Applause.) I must look upon some of them as upon our brethren who were with us but lately, listening and speaking in our councils in this very hall. I mean, Gentle men, the Native Republican party, of whom it is the farthest thing from my mind to speak of them or think of them with any unkindness. They are " bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh."—(Cheers : ) I lament—deeply, fervently lament • —the course they think it their duty to pursue. What can they do? What can they do? If there is anything in this country which is a chcrished object of the Whigs, it is a reformation of the naturalisation laws. Who of all the na- tive American party will go further for this purpose than I have gone, and am willing to go still under the constitution, for the protection-of American, native American, rights, and the purity of the ballot box —(Applause, in the midst of which a loud voice cried, " You're a good native, Daniel ;" to which Mr. Webster answered, as the cheers subsided, " I rather think I am." Renewed laughter and applause.) Within the limits of the constitution I am willing to go as far as he who goes farthest. I am older than many of the native Americans themselves.—(Laughter.) -I have seen the pernicious influence of these foreign votes for the last thirty years, and have raised my voice when there was some chance to mate it heard ; and I have been met by that party, that political party that always counts upon every foreigner as certainly as any monarch of Europe counts upon his serfs. I have seen that there was no remedy for the evil but a re vision of the naturalisation laws. For this I have done all in my power—l will do all in my power. And what I la ment is, that those who have united for this very purpose themselves, take away a great part of the strength necessary to accomplish what they desire, and which, let me tell, them, we desire as much as they do. And I put this to them as a matter of conscience, for I hold that every man who holds the elective franchise holds it as a trust. We may say that he may vote as he has a mind to do, unless he takes care not to injure others. He is as much bound to give a correet decision as if he were acting upon a jury under oath. Every man's vote affects the interests of every other man, and when we say that he has a right to vote as he has a mind to, we must reduce it to this, that he ties a right to vote right.— (Applause.) Now, I put it to every man—and there shall be neither taunt nor reproach in friy language—what he can pro pose to himself favourable to the amelioration of the natural isation laws by a 'separate organisation ? On the contrary, I do firmly believe that every vote withheld for this reason from the Whig candidate is like an express resolution to diminish the power, the 'chance, and the prospect of a revision of the naturalisation laws. These gentlemen will send no Members to CongreSs, but, if they go on; they will prevent the sending by the Whip of those who would probably ad vance their objects, and they thus promote the electing of those who-are opposed to their objects. Who are they who are responsible, on this principle of general morals, for the annexation of Texas and the spread of negro slavery over another great portion of the globe? Men to whom the evil was pointed out, and who, in the exercise of a common intelligence, could not but have foreseen it. It will be ad mitted to be a general principle of 'morals that every man who foresees an evil and can prevent it, and does not choose to prevent it, is himself responsible for that evil ; and I would apply that remark not only to the native American party, but, bp, an awful application, to another party that exists among us. There could not have been a man in the United States who did not see that in withholding his vote from the •Whig candidate, he aided directly in the election of the Loco loco candidates for President and Vice-President, and' that the choice of those Locofcco candidates must inevitably result in the annexation of Texas. Was it not proclaimed from every hill-top? It was told to 'Mr. Birney and his followers again arid again. "If the Whig candidate is chosen, Texes is out, and you know it ; if he is not chosen, Texas is in, and you know it." But they said, "We do not vote for Mr. Polk." Very well. But you had the means of preventing the an nexation of Texas; you knew your own power. By joining those as anxious as you are, or as you profess to be, to pre vent it, you could prevent it. If you did not join them, it would take place. You did not join them, and it did take place. Gen tlemen, this is a subject on which I have deep feeling —very deep feeling; and I think it must stand on the pages of history as the recorded judgment of mankind that those among us who asserted themselves to be in a peculiar and marked degree friends to universal liberty, have by their own deliberate act fastened the chains of slavery on a great portion of the black race over a vast extent of this continent. It is to me the most mournful and most awful reflection. I know that thousands of gentlemen who took such a course say that they meant well. They meant well. lam not to scrutinise their motives;, they must answer for those elsewhere; but I beseech them now not to fall into another such mistake. _ It is thought—it is an idea Ido not say how well founded — that there may be yet a hepe for resistance to the consum mation of the annexation of Texas.—(Enthusiastic ap plause.) I can only say, for one, that if it should fall to my lot to have a vote on such a question, and I vote for the ad mission into this union of any state with a constitution which prohibits even the Legislature from ever setting the bondsman free, I shall never show my head again, depend upon it, in Faneuil Hall.—(Tremendous cheering.) But, Gentlemen, suppose the case,.that in the ensuing session of Congress your members fairly and freely protest against the consummation of this annexation, why how are we to stand in Massachusetts ? How are we to stand in Massachu setts? Are wo to have the gentleman who is nominated by the Locofocos the governor of the state, and to fight the battle under his auspices? By dissensions among our selves, and lists of several other candidates, are we so to prostrate ourselves? While we are to sustain these great principles in Congress, are we to be unsustained at home? No, Gentlemen; but, I say again, that every man who gives a vote . for any other man than George N. Briggs, does, in that respect, all in his power to weaken the authority with which his representatives in Congress can stand up and pro test any longer against Consummating this annexation. I may not flatter myself, perhaps, that any person belonging to that party hears me; but if there be such, I beseech him, in brotherly love and kindness, and as a partaker in the general sentiments which they entertain, to consider whether he is not defeating their best objects by pursuing the course which they have adopted. I would beseech brethren to come back upon that old platform, broad enough to sustain us all, on which we set out together as Whigs; on which, as Whigs, we achieved something for the good of the country; on which, and not otherwise, letting by-gones be by-gones, rallying under the great name which our ancestors bore; confident that as Whigs we can accomplish a good for the Constitution and the coun try which no other name among us is able to accomplish here or hereafter. But, gentlemen, there are among us those who are willing to do old duty under the old name—Whigs with out variation or change.—(Cheers.) What is the duty de volving upon us ? What are we to do under some circum stances of discouragement ? What are we to do ? The answer is plain. We are to do our duty, our whole duty with all the affections of our hearts and all the powers of our minds, and then to trust to Providence. If anything should happen to tarnish the fame of Massachusetts, anything which should cause deep regret for her or for the country, let us so conduct ourselves that the poignancy of personal self-reproach shall not be added to these sources of regret and mortification.—(Loud cheers.) Gentle men, let us lay aside every other call of ordinary duty until we have done o ur utmost to establish our principles in the election of our candidates. lam here necessarily engaged in professional affairs. Th e t own i n w hi ch I reside is so far distant that I must devote two days to go thither and vote there. But I should go if it c. , st ten days.—(Cheers.) Let us all do our duty, unfalteringly, laboriously, soberly, and when, after Monday, the question is asked, which cer tainly will be asked, beginning at Rhode Island, and spread ing as far as Georgie and westward to Wisconsin, "How stands old Massachusetts?" let you and .I be able to hold up our heads and say, "Look at her and see how she stands I"- _ LATEST COMMERCIAL. NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—Since the sailing of the last steamer our market has been in a very excited state. Bread stuffs of all descriptions have been in active demand. The re ceipts of the last intelligence from Europe, together with that previously received, have impressed dealers with a conviction that a large amount of flour and grain will be wanted for the English and Continental markets; more, indeed, than will take all our surplus ' stock. The orders have been so large that a great quantity has already been purchased, which is now going forward. The principal shipments are of flour and wheat to England, corn to Ireland, and rye to Hol land. The prices of all these descriptions have advanced very much—to 6 dolls. 50c. for flour, and 75 to 78 cents. for both corn and rye. The receipts of flour, particularly in .the market from the west, within a few weeks have been very great. In consequence of the demand for vessels, freights have advanced more than 50 per cent. ; all vessels, whether Ame rican or foreign, are taken up with great avidity.. There is also a large amount of goods going south, an& vessels in the coasting trade are fully employed. At southern ports, freights to Europe are dull ; this is owing to the small ship ' ments of cotton, and the continued low prices. The trade of our city with the interior is fast drawing to a close, and most of the northern and western merchants have returned with their goods. The sales, this fall, have been larger than was at first anticipated. It is believed that the orders now making out for goods, for the spring trade, are larger than usual, and the high prices of produce will enable our citizens to purchase more exten sively next season. Exchanges on England and France are more abundant, and the rate has declined. From present appearances, bills will be abundant.in the market during the ensuing winter. Money is as plentiful as it has been. The rate of interest is from five to six per cent. Stocks of all descriptions are maintained, and but for the agitation of the Oregon question, would go much higher. There is no doubt that Pennsylvania will meet her coming interest with promptitude. Our relations with Mexico are assuming a more friendly position,—and, from present appearances, it is not im probable that relations of peace and friendship may soon be restored. A decline of one-half to five-eighths of a cent, per lb. has taken place in the price of Cotton since previous accounts, but the market is firm at this. Exchange on England is 108 i to 109. THE BRAZILS. FALMOUTH, Nov. 27.—The Penguin . packet, Lieutenant Leslie, arrived this afternoon with the Brazil mails, , having left Rio Janeiro on the 12th, Bahia on the 22d, and Per nambuco on the 2d ult. She brings 20,0001. on freight in gold and diamonds. This packet brings no news of importance. The exchange ruled for this conveyance at 26 1 h, leaving off rather flat, in consequence of the Government being large takers. Money was plentiful, comparatively speaking, at 9 per cent., which high rate has been done for the best paper. The arrival of diamonds from Bahia still continued, and, although they do not meet with a ready sale, they must eventually be ex ported, and thus support the exchange, which had no ap pearance of falling. It is announced that Senor Galvao is appointed by the Brazilian Government to confer with Mr. Hamilton for the purpose of arranging a convention between the Brazils and Great Britain, for the effectual suppression of the slave-trade, without annoyance to the lawful trade of the empire. The Penguin brings no late intelligence from Buenos Ayres. The sales of coffee had been fair. the prices being-•-for superior, 3,150 to 3,200 reis; good Ist, 2,950 to 3,050 reis; good 2d, 2,500 to 2,600 reis, per arroba. Stock about 40,000 bags. The crop now arriving is of very fair quality. Sugars are bought up as: fast as they arrive, at 3,000 reis whites; and 2,000 to 2,100 reis per arroba browns. Freights—to England, 50s. to 525. 6d. • Hamburgh, 455. to 475. 6 d.; Hol land, 455. to 475. 6d.; Antwerp, 455. to 475. 6d. ; Mediterra nean, 505.; France, 50f. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT, (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Married, at St. Mary's Church, West Cowes, on Thursday, the 27th inst., by the Rev. J. B. Atkinson, Henry Oglander, Esq., only son of Sir William Oglander, Bart., of Nunwell, Isle of Wight, to Miss Louisa Leeds, daughter of the late Sir George Leeds, Bart. The principal of our resident families attended, and the (at this season of the year) un usual appearance of five carriages drew together half the town. We noticed Sir William and Lady Montagu, Lady Harriet Paget, G. H. Ward, Esq., Miss Blachford, Sir Joseph Leeds, the Misses Ward, Miss Parker ' Lady Isabella Blaeh - ford, and Mr. Oglander, of Fairlie. In the afternoon the wedding couple left her brother-in-law's, Sir W. Montagu's, in a carriage and four for Nunwell. ACCIDENT AT OSBORNE PALACE.—As Mr. Blandford, clerk of the works, was leaving the buildings on Tuesday evening, he slipped off a plank, and-broke his left leg. AFFRAYS WITH POACHERS ON THE GROUNDS OF NORTH WOOD.—As Bullock, Bennett, and Stone, Mr. Ward's keepers, were on the look-out on Monday evening, they fell in with two men : on coming up to them a whistle was given, and, three others joined them. The keepers had attempted at the moment to secure the first ; a rescue was effected, the keepers getting the worst of it, Bennett's head being dreadfully cut with a stone. About four o'clock on Thursday morning Benjamin Bullock and four assistants fell in with, as they supposed, the same men: in attempting to secure them a gun was discharged, from which Bullock had a narrow escape. Eventually two of the men were captured, on whom were found five pheasants, and several large stones similar to the one which struck Bennett. They will be taken before the magistrates at Newport to-morrow (Saturday). The men that escaped left behind three caps and one shoe—the struggle was a desperate one. To draw off the attention of the keepers, the poachers had during the night discharged their guns at considerable distances from where they were met. COURT CIRCULAR.

The following additional particulars of this melancholy affair, are taken from the Sydney Star of the Ist of August. After publishing the dispatches from Colonel Despard, which appeared in our Saturday's impression, the Star con tinues : The names of the killed and wounded of the non-commis sinned officers as vet known are as follows : The 58th Regiment.—Killed—Sergeants Halliday, Morrow, and A. Wilson ; Corporal William Stewart ; Privates Davis, Claxton, . Punchett, Goodrum ' Fisher, Norton, Reynolds, Payne, SUtton, Doherty, Leech, Molloy, and Anderson. Two sergeants and 33 rank and file wounded. • The 99th Regiment.—Killed—Grenadiers Todd, Martin, Moran, J. Hill, Watson, Pope, Macgrath, Maher, Noble, Hughes, Eaton, Hicken, Mcsely, Stocks, and Heath. Wounded—Crane, • Dowse, Edmonds, Farrel], R. Hughes, Spencer, Swan, M`Cormack, Thomas Marten, Bridge: , Crawley, MarkComiers, Duncan, Flynn, and Murray. Ensign O'Reilly's wound is of a very severe nature, being in the elbow, and if amputation is avoided, the power of bending it is destroyed. Lieutenant Johnson had an exces sively narrow escape ; a ball struck the peak of his cap, the edge of which caused it to glance off ; Major M'Pherson's wound is in a fleshy part of the thigh, and it is rather singular that Captain Grant had only a moment before he was shot struck off with his sword the head of a New Zea lander. His death occurred just as he was entering the second palisade, and it is singular that before the action he had a presentiment that he would be shot. Now let us come to the dreadful commentaries that are to be added to the Colonel's dispatch, which we take from an Auckland paper. The gallant leader of the brave grenadiers of the 58th Re giment, Captain Grant, was killed, and afterwards roasted and eaten by the natives. Another of the wounded, one of the 99th Regiment, who fell into the natives' hands, was actually roasted alive, his cries being distinctly heard in the camp. [This horrible story is not confirmed in the original ac count, and is entirely at variance with the humane character Held has hitherto manifested.] Lieutenant Phil potts, of the Hazard, was killed in endeavouring to force the inner works of the pah, and scalped by the natives ; his body was, however, obtained afterwards by Archdeacon Williams, an eye-glass, and a small portion of his hair were the only relics that could be found of him. Lieutenint Beattie, who led the forlorn hope, had died - of the wounds he had received. The chief Nopera, or Noble, of the Rarauwa tribe, who had joined the stanch ally of the British, Waka, had his wife surprised and taken prisoner by some of Heki's party, and then most barbarously murdered by them, and her body cut in pieces. By the 10th of the month, some guns and ammunition having been got from her Majesty's ship Hazard, then, and then only, it seems a hill was discovered which overlooked the fortress; and then, after so much blood had been spilt, so many barbarities and atrocities at which the life-blood curdles within us, was the cannon got to where it ought to have been before a shot was fired and the pah taken. This we gain from a private letter, dated the 10th, which states— "On Wednesday (the day before yesterday) we found a way of getting our large guns to the top of the hill, not far distant from the pah, and firing down upon them into the deep holes they had made in the ground to shelter themselves, a num ber of them were destrpyed, and in the night, which was dark, thay evacuated the place, and had gone away two hours before we knew of it, and they were then too far off to follow them in a country where there is nothing but continued wood, and no roads." The account further adds, that four pieces of cannon had been taken, the with some potatoes, of the pah, and that Heki's colours have been secured; and a postscript, dated the 14th, three day's before the Velocity's sailing, an nounces the troops having returned to Waimate, the mis sionary'station, where they were tolerably housed and coin fortable. The accounts given of Heki were, that his forces had been divided by a part proceeding to a pah twenty miles to the southward, and which being situate on a mountain was almost inaccessible, and was being fortified with every possible' strength. This was to be his place of retreat, and rallying point for the disaffected natives, as well as the traitorous Europeans who were supposed to have joined his standard. Since the foregoing was in type, the Herald, and other sources, have put us in possession of other documents, and al though it appears that Colonel Despard did subsequently give a description of the pah, his account was not written until private communication had been dispatched ; and we do not therefore see any reason to cancel the observations we have already made respecting his remissness in commu nicating the particulars of this extraordinary fortification. This tardy and late letter of the 12th is equivalent to no communication at all, particularly when it is considered that a full description of the pah had been g i ven in a private letter d two days previous to the Colonel's spatch, and suspicion will arise that if somebody had not b sied himself in the matter what little account the Colonel commanding has given would never have appeared in the Despard dispatches, documents which will be remembered when Wellington has been forgotten, "but not till then. We give the letters in theorder they occur : " Camp before Heki's Pab, July 11. " Sir,—ln my letter of this morning, four o'clock A. 31., I had the honour to acquaint you that the pah was in our pos session, and that the enemy had retreated to fastnesses amongst the hills, about ten miles distant, where it is, I be lieve, impossible to attempt to follow them. " The enemy was unable to carry off his guns, and we have taken three iron ones on ship carriages, and one more was found disabled in the fortress. " There is no doubt that it was the fear of another assault being made after the renewal of offensive operations yester day that caused this retreat. " In consequence of the alteration in the state of the affairs here since my letter by the Velocity, I have taken upon my self to suspend the sailing of that vessel until your further instructions are received. " The quantity of provisions stored in the captured fortress (potatoes) exceeds anything I could have formed an idea of. " One report in camp is, that the principal part of the enemy have dispersed in different directions; but I have so little opportunity of gaining correct information, that I scarcely give credit to any. " I shall proceed as rapidly as possible to pull down and barn every part of the pah.—l have, &c., " H. DESPARD. " To his Excellency Governor Fitzroy, Auckland." " Camp at Home, Heki's Pah, July 12. " haVe the honour to acquaint you that the total destruction of Heki's fortress was commenced yesterday, and will be completed this evening, fire having been applied in every part of the stockading, and all the woodwork burnt down., " The strength of this place has stkruc me with astonish ment, and I feel convinced that some European must have had the direction of it.' "Independent of the double stockade, many of the timbers of which were, twelve inches broad, by four and BiX tblek, and sunk three feet' in the ground, there was a ditch within the inner; stockade about five feet deep, and the same broad, which was crossed by traversers at every five or six feet, with a narrow communication between each that would admit of only one man passing at a time. Deep' holes Were sunk in various parts of the interior of the -place, and thick embankments of earth were thrown 'up around them, and some of them were strongly stockaded besides With heaVy tithber, which enabled the garrison to remain in them, without 'being endangered from our shot ; and it was only after the guns were raised to a considerable elevation, on a hill about 350 yards distant, that we were enabled seri ously to molest them by a plunging fire, which entered those underground habitations. " I cannot venture to attempt following the enemy into the interior, as the season of the year is so very unfavourable, and there would 'scarcely be a possibility of my obtaining supplies.` I shall, therefore, break up from this camp on Monday next, the 14th instant, and return to Waimate. " The guns - taken consisted of two iron 9-pounders, one iron 4-pounder, and one iron 2-pounder swivel.—l have, &c. " H. DESPARD. ," To his Excellency Governor Fitzroy. " P.S. 'As I had no means of carrying the captured guns with me, r I gave orders that they should be blown up." Subsequently it appears a pah belonging to one of Reki's adherents, situate at about six miles distance from the British camp, had been evacuated on the approach of the troops. The concluding portion of the letter shows the enemy we have to contend with. " Waimate, July 16. " Sir,—l have the honour to acquaint your Excellency that the pah belonging to Haratooe, about six miles from this place, was totally destroyed by the troops under my com mand this morning. " I marched hence before daylight with 200 rank and file, two guns, and a proportion of the volunteer pioneers and ar tillery - men; and on our arriving near the pah the enemy evacuated it and retired through a very thick wood, where pursuit was out of the question. The enemy had set fire to a bridge over a difficult river within half a mile of the place, which we found burning.—l have, &c., "H. DESPARD. " To his Excellency Governor Fitzroy, Lc." To this may be added, a private communication, giving an account of two pahs---' - • " Waimate, July 16. " We had the opportunity afforded us of observing how well-skilled these savages are in the science of defence ; their stronghold was a perfect warren—houses under round, a triple row of stout fencing, strong enough to resist six-pound shots, two of which were found sticking in one of them; the space between the fences deeply trenched, affording shelter to the defenders, and also the means of firing low and with correct aim. "Another pals near this place was destroyed by the light companies of both regiments, accompanied by forty of the 96th and the friendly natives. No lives were lost on either side ; a house fell into our hands, and an old woman, and abundance of potatoes." The late accounts also give an account of the manner in which Heki received the wound that prevented his being present at the late battle. It seems that a few days previous to the arrival of the troops at Koororarika, Heki made a sudden attack on the tribe of the friendly chief Waka, in which he was completely vanquished ; his general and some of the troops being killed, and he narrowly escaped being ' taken prisoner himself. It is gratifying to add, that the pre vious account given of the remains of Captain Grant being burnt, is totally incorrect, as they were subsequently found, and unmutilated. We may expect further intelligence of the state of the war by an early arrival, and we earnestly hope that the Execu tive will by this time be convinced that the day for half measures has passed; and that a force commensurate with the claims and exigencies of the service must be forthwith raised' and draughted into the unfortunate colony. Until an adequate number of troops, well equipped and duly appointed with the ministers of war, shall be brought in contact with the insurgents, there can be no hope of effectually quelling them. Our country can never endure the disgrace of being foiled by rebellious barbarians ; the islanders must be re duced into submission, and with as little delay as the neces sary arrangements will admit of. In this colony a force com petent to assure to us a successful termination of the cam paign might be raised in an exceedingly short time by a pro clamation of indulgences; if all military convicts were forth with pardoned and draughted into the regiments, and all prisoners enlisting be assured of a ticket of leave, all tickets of leave of a conditional pardon, and all others promised the Governor's intercession for a frees pardon. a numerous and effective battalion might be raised almost immediately, with out the expense of one shilling of bounty-money; and there are now many young gentlemen of good family who would gladly volunteer their services on receiving subordinate com missions in the colonial service. The only hope we have at present is in the operations of the seizure the two friendly native chiefs Waka and No of the evacuated pah tells nothing a Pe r ra' of the com mander of the forces, but rather evinciesn far tary skill of the islanders, who show a disposition t profit by experience, which it is most desirable that the Bri n t tis p . n n commander would imitate ; but from him we expect no hi which would be creditable to a veteran soldier ; his measures g have shown him to be ignorant of the common.tactics of the field, deficient in every advantage which experience bestows, and wholly de stitute of the military genius which might tend to supply the want of these qualifications. It is said that Colonel Despard does not intend any imme diate attack against Heki. The measures that have been taken in the colony are, that 280 of the 58th Regiment are to proceed:to New Zealand, for which purpose the detach ments at Moreton Bay and Bathurst are called into head- - ,r quarters at Parramatta, whence, wills a number of the military stationed there, ;hey will be forwarded at the earliest opportunity, and a strong report prevails that his Excellency Sir Maurice O'Connell will accompany them for the purpose of taking.coremand of the forces there. Lieut,- Colonel Jackson, in commend of the 99th Regiment, at Sydney, issued an order on Monday for the officers to wear mourning from the 25th to the 16th of August, for their brave and gallant brother officer, Lieutenant Beattie. THE BORNEO PIRATES. The pirates, who have for so long found shelter on the coast of Borneo, have for a long time done great damage to the trade, not only of this country, but of Europe generally. Although repeatedly attacked, they have never been thoroughly exterminated, and it is now the wish of the Government of this country to have posses sion of an island which will be a point from whence these marauders can be kept at bay, and form at the same time a haven for our ships frequenting that coast. In order to secure the possession of the island ceded by the- Sultan, an attack was rendered necessary, and accomplished in the following gallant manner : " During his stay on the coast of Borneo the Admi ral has been very active. After visiting Sarawak, on his arrival at Borneo, his Excellency and fleet proceeded to Borneo Proper, where he anchored, and went up the town with the steamers Pluto, Vixen, and Nemesis, and a body of marines. The surrender of the Pan geran Usof was demanded from the Sultan on account of his having detained a . British subject in slavery. The Sultan said he had no power to c ompel' his sur render, though he was ready to give every assistance. Usof refused to give laimself,up, and commenced making defensive preparations. The steamers took up positions, and the Vixen fired a shot over his dwelling house, to which he replied by firing at her. The steamers then opened their fire, and in ten minutes his house was completely riddled, on which he and his followers made a precipitate retreat into the jungle, and the house was taken possession of. About twenty brass guns were seized, two of which were retained by the Admiral, to be sold for the benefit of two men who had been kept in slavery by Usof, and the rest were presented to the Sultan. The populace then plundered the house in a very effectual manner. After the Admiral's departure, Usof, assisted by the Ka dayans, or country people, made an attempt to re-es blish himself in the capital, and seized upon a com manding position near the town ; he was, however, met by the Pangeran Badreddeen, who defeated him in an action, and a second time compelled him to flight. The victors followed up their advantage by pursuing him up the river, where they captured his whole establishment, wives, children, slaves, and treasure, Usof himself only escaping down the river with five or six followers. Orders were, however, sent by the Sultan along the coast, warning the rajas and people from giving him shelter, and when the fleet visited Borneo on its return, an expedition was being fitted out by the Sultan to pursue him, so that his evil influence may be looked upon as at an end, and his days numbered. " The fleet fromßorneo proceeded toLabuan, where the steamers wooded, and the Admiral with all his force then went to Melluda Bay, where the large men-of-war an chored, and the brigs, steamers, and gun-boats, with the marines, ran up the bay. On the 18th the force anchored off Sheriff Osman's river; on the same afternoon twenty four boats, containing in all 550 men, seamen, and ma rines inclusive, under the command of Captain Talbot, proceeded to the mouth of the river, where they an. chored for the night. The next morning they pro ceeded up the river, and came on the pirate's position about nine o'clock. It wes found to consist of three forts, of which two mounted eleven heavy ship's guns, and was, moreover, protected by a most for midable boom, bound round with ships' cables, so that, altogether, the preparations and means of defence were of a most complete and deadly nature. After a short parley, which produced no. result, the at tack was commenced; but so perfect were the defences, and determined the' opposition of the enemy, that it was fully fifty-three minutes before a passage could be forced through the boom. As soon as the pirates saw the British boats coming through the opening, they fled in all directions, but with heavy punishment. Tho forts and town were destroyed and the guns brought away, and an immense quantity of property of all sorts was burn I. The loss on the side of the. B:itish force was six killed and fifteen wounded, two mortally. Mr. Gibbard, mate of the Wolverine, a young officer of great promise, was the only officer killed. The loss of the enemy was very severe, many leading men being killed. It was reported, from a source worthy of credit, that Sheriff Osman had received a severe wound, which may, perhaps, rid the coast of a daring and too successful chief. Several Sheriffs and Pangerans from Saluk and Llanoon were found among the slain. These latter pirates are said to have foUght, with great -courage. " Amongst the spoil which was taken possession of was the bell of the Bremen vessel, Wilhelm Ludwig, wrecked some years ago on the coast of Borneo, with the cables, boats, and furniture of more than one Euro pean vessel. " Too much credit cannot be awarded to the Admiral for the vigour of his proceedings on the coast of Borneo, which have struck terror into the hearts of the boldest pirates ; and if the course be only persevered in of an expedition paying a visit to Borneo every now and then, inflicting chastisement where merited, we may hope to see piracy effectually crushed on that coast, and that fine island—brought into fre quent communion with the rest of the world by means of the British settlements upon it, and the steamers which will ere long pay periodical visits to her shores— become as well known for peaceful qualities and her thousand now almost neglected sources of commerce, as she has heretofore been for her piratical and lawless deni zens, the terror and scourge of the peaceful navigator."— Singapore Free Press. FATAL OCCURRENCE AT GLOUCESTER.—On Tues day morning the master• of the Sion, coalman of Newport, from Quebec, with timber for Messrs. Price and Co., was found in his cabin witt. his wife suffocated from .the per fumes of a coke fire, which bad been lighted the previous night. The wife was lying on the cabin floor partly dressed, quite dead, and the master was insensible. He was taken to the dispensary, where he was attended by the house-surgeon, and is going okwell,l)ut 14 not yet out of danger. HAYMARKET TREATRE. An admirable piece de circonstance, from the pen of Mr. Stirling Coyne, was produced here on Saturday evening, under the title of Railway Bubbles. The hero is a certain Mr. German Hudson (Hudson), a genuine Milesian, the - beau ideal of a "rattling, rollicking, jig of an Irishman," who has managed to captivate the heart of Miss Seyton (Miss Telbin), the niece and heiress of General Bungalow (Tilbury), a rich old East Indian. He follows her to London, and finding some paviours at work opposite the general's door, assumes the disguise of a " mender of ways," and watches an opportunity of entering the house and obtaining an interview with the heiress. The general approaches, and Hudson makes his escape up the chimney of the house and descends the chimney of the general's next door neighbour, Mr.' Braggs (Brindal), whom he finds engaged with his clerk, Nobbleton Noakes (Mr. Clark), in the concoction of railway lines to all parts of the globe. To the pro jector this sudden appearance is the cevater of a Deus ex Machin4. He wishes for the patronage of the Railway King, and lo ! G. Hudson, Esq., has dropped down his chimney. In every provisional committee does the name of G. Hudson, Esq., prominently appear. Shares rise to an enormous premium, to the great satisfaction of the members of all the provisional committees, who are, anxious to be introduced to the groat man. Among these committee men is General Bungalow, who, of course, is but too happy to bestow his niece upon the great man who, by a nod, can regulate premiums. Hud son makes a good railway speech, which told exceed ingly, and is hailed as the Railway King, when the honest Irishman, who has been as much hoaxed as the rest, repudiate the title and exposes Braggs. Bungalow, however, having made a good spec. through the intervention of Hudson, bestows on him the hand of the lady, and all ends happily. There is an amusing underplot, of the loves of Kitty Crisp and Nobbleton Noakes, which gives rise ' to some amusing contretemps. The farce is full of bustle and incident, and the dialogue sparkles with wit. It is the best &ITO Stirling Coyne has yet written, and it is the best thing that Hudson has yet done. He was fitted, completely, and kept the audience in a constant roar. May Coyne write many more such farces for Hudson, and may we be there to see him act in them. It is need less to say its success was complete. The house was crowded. DRURY-LANE TREATRE. — This splendid house is now nightly thronged to see Flora Fabbri in the Devil to Pay, and Wallace's opera of llfaritana. Amongst others, on Saturday, we noticed these distinguished persons :—Prince George of Cambridge, Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, Count Kielmansegge, Baron Rehausen, Count de Noailles, Earl and Countess of Harrington, Marchioness of Convngham, Coun tess of Cardigan; Earls Fitzhardinge, Bruce, Munster; Lords Gardiner, Canterbury, Foley, Ernest Bruce, Thomas Clinton, Sussex Lennox, Cantalupe, Mandeville, Alexander Lennox, W.

FIRE AT LORD WATERrARE'S SBAT.—On Wed nesday afternoon a fire broke out at Doveridge-hall, the seat of Lord Waterpark, which was occasioned by the careless ness of some workmen employed on the premises. On the 'germ being given, the inhabitants of the surrounding dis trict hastened to the spot and rendered every assistance in allaying the fire, which we are happy to say was extin guished before any very considerable damage was done. — Derby Reporter. LANCASTER AND CARLISLE.—This Company has an object of very great importance, that of uniting New castle and Lancaster. The towns which the railway will connect are of the larger class, and will be instrumental in feeding the line with passengers and merchandise tra ffi c. The counties of Durham and Westmoreland would benefit to a very great extent by the line, while the uniting of the eastern and western coast by a direct road will insure benefits which are obvious to any one who has examined the position of the towns. The course of this railway will be from Lan caster through the Valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergh, and Kirkby Stephen, and thence in a right line to Newcastle. The mineral wealth of the district is very great, and we anticipate that the project will be successful, as there is an extensive local feeling in its favour.—Railway Tele- urap_n. VISCOUNTESS VILLIERS.—It is gratifying to learn that her Ladyship, since Wednesday last, has been progres sing so satisfactorily that further daily accounts from her medical attendants were deemed unnecessary. Dr. Seymour has not been to Upton-house since his return on Monday night last, when he conveyed to Sir Robert and Lady Peel the welcome news that Lady Villiers might be considered as past all danger. Since Monday morning her Ladyship has continued to recover, and there is not the slightest doubt but that in about a month her Ladyship will have regained her streirtli, 4tiss Villiers is nearly recovered. . . . . STATE. OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, or. 28.—This market remains in the same quiescent state as during the last few weeks, and without any material variation, either as regards sales or prices. ENGLISII WOOL. MARKET, LEEDS, Nov. 28.—We have not any alteration to notice in this branch of trade during the present week. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, Nov. 28.—There is no dif ferent feature in this department of trade this week from last, and no relief to the dulness then noted; the remarks made then will equally apply now. LEEDS.—Business has been very dull at the cloth-halls this week. There continues to be nothing doing in the way of purchases except to express orders. Prices continue steady, and from the cautious proceedings of the manufacturers there is no great accumulation of stock. Business in the ware houses has been almost as dull as usual at this season. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—The dulness that has now so long pervaded the wool market is not in the slightest degree dispelled. The demand for all kinds of combing wools is narrowed down to the lowest possible point, yet notwith standing this extreme falling off in the consumption, there is no disposition to press wools on the market. The country dealers are not generally large holders, and as the farmers who hold their clips are disinclined to give way in price, the quantity coming to market is not considerable, which gives the staplers confidence to hold forward, rather than sacrifice without being able to replace. The business in yarns, now that the export houses are nearly out of the market, is limited, for the manufacturers are generally acting with great caution, and buy only for present wants; yet the great diminution in the production must tell ere long, for every day adds further additions to the already nnemployed. The position of the spinners is truly harassing, for evidently no material relief is likely to be had for the raw material, and until a considerable improvement in the present price of yarns can be obtained, it is quite clear this branch of the trade will not be extended, or the sufferings of the operatives in any way alleviated. The determination to prevent any increase of stock in pieces is closely practised by the manufacturers, in confirmation of which, immense numbers of both male and female weavers may be found without any work whatever, and those who are employed only partially so. Still the position of the manufacturer has for some time past been infinitely better than that of the spinner, for the sacrifices that have been made on yarns by many needy spinners has enabled them to offer goods at prices far below what the price of wool will warrant. With the precautionary measures now adopted, it will tend to bring about a more natural state of things, and place the trade on a more healthy basis. The business done to-day has only been limited, as the home trade houses only buy to assort their stocks, and the shippers doing a little for the German fairs in January. In prices there is no change worthy of notice. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We have had an other dull and declining week ira our cloth market, and prices are now rapidly approaching the lowest point known in 1841-42, particularly for shirtings. When the advance paid to the operatives in every department of manufacture is con sidered, the position of the manufacturer is not better, if so good, as in the most distressing period referred to. The printers are alarmingly dull—so are the dyers. Short hours are now again generally spoken of, thus showing that dear food and higher wages have no necessary affinity with each other. The silk trade was never known to be in seidepressed a state. The fustian cutters are now working for 30 or 40 per cent. less wages than they did six months ago; at that time certainly their wages were very high. Spinners submit to a slight reduction from the highest point some four months ago. Twist may be said to have receded in value some 15 per cent. POSSESSION OF BORNEO . - - - We believe, on good authority, that the British Go vernment has determined to establish a military and naval station on the island of Borneo. This, of course, is a prelude to the sovereignty being claimed ; and, in deed, the only wonder is that Britain should have so long been indifferent to a possession which of all others connected with its trade to the East is the most im portant. The latest Singapore journals state that her Majesty's steamer Driver had departed for Borneo, having on board as passengers Captain Bethune and Mr. Henry Wise, charged by the English Government with a special mission, the object of which was unknown. The steamer was to touch successively at three points of the coast ; first, at Sarawak ; then at Borneo Proper, where the commander had orders to confer with the Sultan of the country ; lastly, at Pulo Subuwan, where there is an intention to establish a depot of coal for the steamboats which work between Ceylon and China ; and we find in a late number of the Mauricien some further remarks, which we consider of sufficient interest to translate and publish:—" The island of Borneo can not much longer resist the power of civilization. The rapid development of the commerce of the straits since the events of China, and, still more, the insecurity of the navigation in sight of the coasts of Borneo, where, from time immemoral, the population had exercised no other employment than piracy, have directed the atten tion of the English and Dutch Governments towards this island, which, from its vast extent, may almost be called a continent. Its riches, its resources, and the fer tility of its soil, were already vaguely known, and are becoming daily more so by the expeditions in pursuit of the pirates, with whom for the last three years a severe struggle has been maintained, though as yet with very uncertain advantage. However, the coasts and rivers, of which there was but an imperfect knowledge, are thus explored and developed ; and thence to the occupation and colonization of part of the island of Borneo the distance is not far. The most insignificant occurrence may furnish the pretext and the opportunity. Great Britain will doubtless be the first to profit by it, not withstanding the pretensions of Holland to the sove reignty of a part of Borneo. She has enforced respect to her flag, carrying fire and sword into the retreats of the Malay pirates, or taking vengeance for the murder of the Hon. Erskine Murray, committed by the people of the Sultan of Poti. Two of our ships, the frigate Samarang and the steam-vessel Phlegethon, are cruising continually on the coast of Borneo, less for hydrographic purposes than to open a relation with the Rajas, who, divided - among themselves, are ready to sell themselves to the strongest. The first. steps towards the establish ment of a foreign. colony , are generally founded on the divisions of the natives. From the last Singapore journals we see that the commanders of the Samarang and Phlegethcin are already making the first advances, having succeeded if communicating with the Raja of Borneo; they have supported him in his opposition to the Sultan, ,his sovereign, who, obliged to yield to inti midation, has been under the necessity of dismissing one of his Ministers, who, contrary to the intervention of the foreigners, would not hear speak of concession. Thence, after being provisioned, the two vessels in com pany proceeded successively towards the Bay of Victoria and that of Ambooa, where, while occupied in their hydrographical labours, they are inquiring into the des tiny of the numerous captives who have fallen into the hands of the Malays, who keep them in the interior. Among the number is said to be an English lady, who is supposed to be kept prisoner in the country around the river Tampasook; but the information acquired by Sir Edward Boucher and Captain Scott from one of the chiefs of this country is of too vague a nature to deserve much faith. The village commanded by this chief was also reported to be one of the worst haunts of piracy, and the 200 pieces of cannon which garnished the ram parts were not calculated to inspire a very flattering opinion of the conscientiousness of its inhabitants; the innocent are not used to be so cautious. The expedition of the Samarang and Phlegethon terminated at Sara wak, where they left Mr. Brook, who possesses there an establishment important as the germ of the future co lony. They then departed for Singapore."—South Aus tralian Register.

It is desirable, says the trade secretary, that arrangements should be immediately made for the meet ing of delegates from each locality.—Nottinghain Review. BEEsTort.—Public opinion has vascillated respect ing the origin of the late disastrous conflagration at Mr. Joseph Walker's. However willing to believe that it might be the result of accident, and unaccompanied by any hostile feeling, yet it is impossible to reconcile some facts with such a conclusion, and the association has offered a reward of twenty pounds, in conjunction with an additional thirty pounds from Mr. Walker, for the discovery of the offender or offenders. A letter of a very remarkable character has been received by Mr. Walker, which is now in the hands of the police, but it is feared that nothing will emanate from it tending to a disclosure. —Nottingham Review. BRISTOL SIJOAR•MARKET, NOY. 28.—About 150 hogsheads of West India have been disposed of since our last report, at about former rates.

On Friday forenoon last, Mr. Comrie, of the Royal Hotel, Glasgow, came to the Police-office there, and pro duced a letter which had been addressed to him, of a rather alarming nature. The communication, which was anonymous, was dated and had been posted on Thurs day, and the writer demanded that the sum of five pounds should be inclosed to the address of Johu Thomp son, by one o'clock on the following day. He then called attention to the conflagration of the City Theatre, and stated that, if the request was not complied with, the Royal Hotel would unquestionably share the same fate. The writer continued by taking Gad to witness that, if Mr. Comrie breathed the circumstance, or should take any steps to discover the person who might call for the answering letter, the same fate would still await him as if he had refused to send the money. Mr. Comrie had no sooner retired, after tabling this furious epistle, than his place was taken by Mrs. Cotton, of the Wellington Hotel, who, in no very contented frame of mind, produced " another of the same." Thirdly came Mr. Alexander, to complain of the threat to raze his beautiful theatre to the ground, and his private dwelling-house into the bargain—that is, unless the cash was forthcoming. Mr. Miller, of the Adelphi, made ap , - pearance the fourth, and (as his own popular place of entertainment had had rather a narrow escape when the City Theatre was so unfortunately consumed) he had, undoubtedly, much cause for anxiety and alarm. The fifth claimant for the law's help was Mr. Mac- Naughtan, of the George, whose hotel and stabling were Placed under the seine fiat of annihilation. This was- pretty good for one forenoon's work ; and' di*, police had scarcely time to consider what should best be done, when Mr. M'Donald, of the Star, made his bow, followed at a short interval by Mrs. Nelson, commercial lodging-house keeper in Glassford-street. These latter epistles were of tfre same tenor, with the exception that, instead of one 9'cia - cir;their bills were. payable at Mr. Hicks' post recAving-house, in Queen-street, at half-past eight precisck7., This; we may remark, showed much inexperience on the part of the writer, as letters are not delivered at any of those receiving-shops. The superintendent ; of po lice ,promptly acted on the complaint first made to him, and put a letter in the post-office to the re quired address of John Thompson, at the same time setting an 'intelligent man to watch for the person who should call for it. An individual accordingly did call for the letter between one and two o'clock, and he was immediately apprehended. This perse n was able satisfactorily to clear himself of the chars e of writing the letters, but such information was ob tained from him as gave a clue to the real Sim on Pure ; and after the exercise of much industry and - ingenuity, Captain Wilson apprehended him in Queen street, about nine o'clock, immediately after leaving Mr_ Hicks' shop, where he had called to inquire for his let ters. The prisoner is a genteel young Englishman, named George Smith. He was at one time a waiter in a hotel in this city, and has latterly been a clerk in the office of the Scottish Central Railway in Edinburgh; but he had either left or been dismissed from that situation. He admits, we believe, having written and sent the letters with the view of raising funds, of which he was much in need ; but although these letters were calculated to ex cite much alarm, especially with the females to whom they were addressed, no one accuses him of any serious intention of carrying his threats into execution. The prisoner was brought before the police magistrate on Saturday, and the case was remitted to the Sheriff.— Glasgow Herald. SINGULAR CASE OF 'POACHING. At the last meeting of the Kingston Bench of Magi-4- trates, a person of respectable appearance, named William Stacey, attended to answer an information, charging him with having unlawfully trespassed upon the estate of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, at Coombe, near Kingston. in pursuit of game. Arthur Dunford, gamekeeper in the service of his Royal High ness, deposed that about nine o'clock in the evening of the 18th November, he was on duty the game preserve at Coombe-wood, where he observed a greyi,":"Mtl, which in his presence turned up a hare, Which it piZeued, overtook, and killed, and was about to walk off witb it in its mouth, when he struck it with a stick, and it then dropped 'the hare and ran away. He fol lowed the dog to one of the entrances of the wood,called the Gravel-pit-gate, where it joined two personal; Who walked away, accompanied by-the dog. He gave in formation to one of the , horse-patrol, who followed the parties, and he himself, . shortly afterwards, went in the same direction, and came up with the defendant and another person, and, upon his asking who the dog be longed to, the defend ant said it was his, and he at the same time gave his name and addrt as In answer to a as still in his pos w et bu s iness pe r f T e c h t e l defendant, em and had and d t in ne answerconsidered to .thei t w istqtheusweessew.dtnoinotg.n to of f ro m ,i r w o oo m ra dtkh t de i etehd(Bia,eetftnehicnathd, h was a regular p ac h er, an d tit , t hne t, e ha andd keeperno it d wo come that from when ou t ;t h e e y fo took the z r o a t nearwaik'way charge,deorsrtt°°d itsn ht y g ui neas. sa id that the fact was y i brought wood they thedog w missed the dog, and he and his friend went to the gate, where th e y w ere se en by th e k ee p er to look for him, and sh o rtly a ft erw ards the dog came up th a e nd w to them, and they walked away, not at all imagining that the dog had been doing anything wrong, until they were followed by the keeper, and on his stating what had happened he readily gave his name and address.
