By the arrival of the Great Western steam-ship on Saturday at Bristol, in fourteen days and a few hours from New York, we have received files of American Papers of the 16th ult. inclusive. Their contents are of great commercial, but of very little political interest ; except in so far as commerce and politics are regarded as convertible terms. Ru mours of the resumption of specie payments by the suspended Banks were circulated, but they proved unfounded upon inquiry ; and in fact it appeared the settled conviction of the ablest financiers that they would be compelled to continue the suspension for two years : Congress, as is well-known to our readers, assembles in December, and much excite ment prevails in the United States as to the course which the Supreme Legislature may adopt with regard to the financial and commercial state of the country. Most likely the corn mercial intelligence brought by the Great West ern, would have been considerably modified had the British Queen arrived at New York before she sailed for England ; but though two days be hind her time, and hourly expected, she did not make her appearance before the Great Western cleared out. Most likely she was the vessel the Great Western passed o❑ the night of the 22d, two miles to the northward, which did not answer, her signals. Before presenting our readers with the latest account of the state of commerce in New York and Philadelphia, we shall present them with the following general statement of the aspect of affairs in the United States, published in the co lumns of the New York Morning Herald of the 16th ult.---the date of the sailing of the Great Western. When carefully examined it will be found to present a tolerably correct picture of the actual condition of things on the other side of the Atlantic. (From the New York Morning Herald of Saturday, Nov. 16, 1839. STATE OF THE COUNTRY, COMMER CIAL, POLITICAL, &c.&c. This country is in a strange and anomolous condition. Politics, trade, commerce, currency, rum, and religion ar• all mixed and blended together like human life itself. Not only are the various sections of the Union mixed up in this way—but our affairs, particularly th e commercial, are as deeply intertwined with those England and France. Every fresh steamer is looke for with deep anxiety to know if the Bank of England has suspended—if tho rate of interest is reduced—if the price of cotton has begin raised—if Victoria is in good health and got married—if Louis Philippe is still on his throne. Steam navigation has made western Europe and eastern America, one single, undivided, civilised country, influenced by the like causes and the same feelings. This , being the general view, the next question is, what is our political position at this moment in reference to all these Interests, so far as they are connected with English and French affairs. In the Weekly Herald, issued this day, our Euro pean readers will find all the important facts and views in full length, on every leading point of trade, currency, and commerce. The conclusions are these : First—That the United States Bank will not resume specie payments in two years—and that the other banks in the southern and western states, managed on her policy, may be included in the same category. Second—That the crops of the United States, both in corn and cotton, have been for 1839 at a fair esti mate, full twenty to twenty-five per cent. greater than in 1838, or in any former year. Third—That the prices of the leading staples, such as cotton, corn, &c., have been falling in price, in con sequence of the combined agency of abundant crops, and the restrictions on bank issues by the New York and New England specie paying banks—and that the reduction in these prices have not yet reached their lowest paints, nor will they, till some time early next year. Fourth—That the city of New York, in consequence of the sound restrictive policy of her banks, which will not suspend specie payments at any hazard, will become, still greater than ever, the great central mart for the transactions in all surplus produce, in foreign and do mestic exchanges, and in the foreign trade ; and that Philadelphia and her institutions will take a very subor dinate rank in all future commercial operations, of sound character and solidity. Fifth—That the exports of this country to Europe, during the next year, will be greater in quantity, though not, perhaps, greater in value than on any antecedent year. Sixth—That the value of all Corporation and State securities have depreciated in price from 20 to 40 per cent. under their par value—that the stocks issued by States, whose banks are in a state of suspension, are sold in this city at 50 to 70 per cent. for par value of 100 per cent.—and that the State securities of New York and New England, in consequence of their sound banki ' n r , policy, are depressed only from 2 to 6 per cent. under th e par value, a nd w ill soon b e a t par, and " no mistake." S eventh —That the future movements of this country in commerce, currency, and State and Corpora tion securities, will depend greatly on the result of the 1 Presidential election, which takes place in November, 1840—that if the administration of Mr. Van Buren ' succeeds, a restrictive policy will prevail to a certain extent—but that if the Opposition, or Whig party, carry the elections, a vast expansion of credits of all kinds will be the probable course of things, even to the creation of a national debt of 3 00,000,000 dollars, a national kink of 50,000,000 dollars, and the assumption of the State debts equal to 200,000,000 dollars, one half of the latter being own e d i n Europe —the latter mea sure having been suggested by Barin gs an d C o., of London, an d brought forward by t h eir agents in this city. These are the general views and conclusions to which we come on surveying, with a broad grasp, the present field of action. Up to November, 1840, the struggle in the systems of currency will continue. It is prolonged by the political struggle. These fluctuations have been produced by the r evu l. sions in the currency. In 1837, the revolution against Mr. Van Buren began with the general suspension of the banks, and i n 1838 it wa s at its greatest height. In 1839, the present year, a counter revolution began in the West, which is still in progress. In a few days, Mr. Clay will most likely be the candidate put in no mination in opposition to the present incumbent—and then will begin the great popular contest for the Presi dency of 1841-2. Thus far, the chances are in favour of Mr. Van Buren although it is possible that the state of financial matters—the disorders in the currency, and other local and contingent events, may create a change. The n ext e l ection that can give us an element :,o calculate from, takes place in April next year in this 6 city. If the Van Buren party is then defeated, there is a chance to elect his opponent—if not, I not. It is true, if the Convention to meet at Harrisburgh, on the 4th of December, should have sense, tact, and sagacity enough to nominate General Scott, the whole face of affairs would be changed against Van Buren, but we have no idea that those who make politics a trade, will do so sensible an act, and we doubt whether Providence will take the trouble to soften the breasts and enlighten the heads of such rascals, vagabonds, and unholy sinners as politicians are. At all events, throughout the next year, the fluctua tions in trade, currency, and commerce, will increase in the non-specie paying States—while in New York, and in every State that will return to a sound currency, we may have difficulties to surmount, but those difficulties will be surmounted and we must flourish. From Canada the intelligence brought by these Journals is very favourable ; but apprehensions of an outbreak during the winter were entertained on both sides of the frontier. The United States Se cretary of War had ordered General SCOTT to make a tour of the frontier, to arrange measures for preventing attacks upon the Canadians by tha ‘ sympathizers." Sir GEORGE ARTHUR was' loafing fing organizing a police for ce on th e Ni a gara fron tier to prevent incendiarism in that part of the country, and his Excellency had ordered the Pro vincial Parliament to assemble on the 3d of Decem ber, when it was expected that he would either dissolve it, or propose to the Members the passing of a Bill for the union of the two provinces. This would be the signal for the commencement of fierce commotions in the Upper Province. But the question at present of the first import ance is the state of the Money Market. The fol lowing article, containing the latest intelligence, is from the New York Commercial Intelligencer of the 16th of November : NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, &c.—FRIDAY Nov. 15. There was a considerably less extensive business done at the Stock Exchange, this morning, than for some days before ; and although the prices of several descrip tions of Stock sold declined on previous rates, some advanced on yesterday's prices, North American Trust and Banking Co., advanced 1 per cent. ; Merchants' Exchange Co., 2 ; Delaware and Hudson Canal and Mohawk Railroad, each per cent. ; while Bank of Ken tucky shares declined 1 per cent. ; Mechanics' Banking Association, and Paterson Railroad, each ; and Ohio Trust Co., 1 per cent. on previous rates. At the second Board the sales of shares were small and the closing prices as follows. Delaware and Hudson Canal 60 per cent.: Mohawk railroad, 50 ; Harlem, ditto, 391 ; and North American Trust Co., 39 j ., showing rather a batter feeling than at the morning Board. There was a slight error in our report of the sales of State Stocks yesterday. It should have been as fol lows : " Illinois State Bonds—Seventy 6 per cent Illinois State Bonds, of 1,000 dollars each, redeemable in 1830. " The Maryland Bonds sold at 58, 59, 60 a 72. " Of the Illinois, 1,000 dollars were sold at 66, and the sale then stopped." The Money Market has not been so easy to-dAy. The upward tendency in the rates of Exchange on Europe, and particularly on England, has caused a greater dis position on the pare of the Banks and monied men to contract their loans than for some days before. The demand for bills, for transmission by the Great Western to-morrow, has been r , ther extensive—the rates on England 4.68 dol. to 4.70 dol. (7i- a 81 per cent.) the pound sterling, and on France 51.4 3fc. a sf. 35c. the dollar. The rates of Domestic Exchange range about the same as yesterday, except for bills on Philadelphi3, which were sold at the Board this morning at 13k a 131- per cent. discount. The Philadelphia North Anzericao of this morning says : The rates of money in the street are gradually declining. Post notes are sold at 1 per cent, a month, and a large amount of first-rate business paper was taken to-day at 11 per cent. 1% e quote it at l i f a as the fair market rate. This reduction of rates is gra dual, anu is caused by the contraction of business, which is now becoming more sensibly felt, and not by any increase of Bank facilities. We may look for this contraction as certain to be very decidedly felt in a short time. .‘ We find the rumour of a speedy resumption on the part of our Banks to be as we feared, a mere rumour, at any rate for the present. The cause which was al leg-ed to have led immediately to their suspension, viz. the demand for specie to pay the Eastern debt, still con tinues ; and were the Banks now to resume before they are more fortified by the arrival of remittances or pro duce from the West, it would of necessity be merely nominal, as the deposites in them have increased since their suspension I,Boo,ooo—nearly all of which are for eastern account, and are waiting some favourable turn in the exchanges before being drawn for." GIRARD BANK.—The report of the Committee ap pointed by the Stockholders of this institution to which we have before alluded,:among other statements has the following : " That the losses cannot in any human probability exceed 400,000 dollars, while the contingent fund alone is 550,000 dollars, over and above . a sum of 218,273 standing to the credit of profit:and loss." The following Table is compiled from the Report ; Dollars. Original capital I 500,000 Added in March, 1836 3,500,000 Specie on hand.... Post notes issued 2,500,000 Now outstanding 807,000 Dividends declared, from May 1833 to May 1836, both included, 254 per cent. On the increased capital of 5,000,000 dollars, in November, 1836, 4 per cent. ; in May, 1837, 4 ; in November, 3 ; in May, 1838, 3 ; in November, pi ; and in May, 1839, 3i. Of the issue of post notes the Report says nothing more than that it has been a source of large profit to the bank. We learn from the Providence Journal of yesterday, "that the banks of that city have entered into an ar rangement to receive their own and each others' bills, in payment of all dues, at the places where payable." The following are the batiks—Exchange, Union, Manu facturers', Globe, Weybosset, Phoenix, Mechanics' and Manufacturers', High -street, Mechanics' and National ; the two latter on condition that the arrangement is ac ceded to by a majority of the banks. There are twenty-one banks in the city, one more therefore is re quired to make a majority. There is no doubt that several other banks will come into the arrangement. The Blackstone Canal Bank has passed a resolution similar to that passed by the American Bank—to receive its own bills at its ova n counter for all dues wherever payable. The rate of discount on Providence bills hasldeclined considerably on New York, and if z. 1 .1 our banks enter into this arrangement, they will soon be nearly or quite a: par. The rate of discount on Providence bills is also lower in Boston tb an it has been. The Alexandria (D.C.) Gazette of the 14th inst. says : Heretofore bills at 30 to 60 days on New York, could without difficulty, be. cashed by deductinc , the in terest. Now, a draft at sight will command ten per cent. premium, while one at 30 days not more than one per cent., if any, premium. This has effectually put a stop to coastwise shipments for the present. The Bank of Pensacola has suspended specie pay ments. SALES AT THE STOCK EXCHANGE, Nov. 13.

A tremendous gale was experienced on the 24th and 25th of July, during which the Chilian ship of war Monteagudo drifted from her anchors, and subsequently became a total wreck. The crew were rescued by the heroic efforts of Lieutenant Craven of the United States navy, Lieutenant Collinson, of the British frigate Pre sident, and a number of British sailors who put off to the wreck at the eminent peril of their lives. Several Chilian vessels with which the Monteagudo came in collision, sustained considerable damage. (From the Courier and Enquirer.) Extracts of letters received from Officers of the Exploring Expedition, received by H.M. Ship Imogene, arrived at Rio Janeiro, the 19th September. " Valparaiso, 7th April, 1839.

The unanimity with which Churchmen of every clime and every religious creed inveigh against po pular education, proves most conclusively that igno rance is supposed by divines the best bulwark of a• modern Church Establishment. Besides Bishop PHILPOTTS in England, and Bishop M‘HALE in Ireland, we have Bishop TEGNER in Sweden, shouting against the diffusion of all knowledge not impregnated with the spirit of prelatical sectarianism. For some time past the necessity of a general sys tem of popular education began to be felt in every part of Sweden. Enlightened and far-seeing poli ticians discovered that ignorance was no protection against treason nor the spread of popular disaffec tion to the Government, and that, although it riveted the chains of the priest, it retarded the pro gress of national improvement, and abso!utely pre scribed the bounds of civilization. They like wise became aware that men might be good subjects and good citizens without believing in the Apostolical succession of Bishops, or re garding tithes as other than an iniquitous impost perpetuated by Priests for purposes totally uncon nected with the diffusion of the knowledge of Christ's kingdom. The question was at length regularly brought before the last Swedish Diet, when that Assembly recommended to the Government the establishment of regular schools as one of the first steps towards the complete amelioration of the condition of the Swedish people. Of course the men who had, from generation to generation, fleeced the people for the alleged purpose of teaching them all knowledge necessary for their temporal and eternal happiness, were the first consulted about the proposal of the Diet. The Bishops and their Consistories were appealed to by the Government, as if the wretched ignorance of their flocks, did not render such an appeal not only preposterous, but an insult to the common sense of man kind. Well, the German papers, received on Friday night, brought us a specimen of the Episco pal views upon the subject, which we published in The Sun of Saturday. But as it is possible that the paragraph containing the deliberate opinion of Bishop TEGNER and the Consistory of his diocese may have been overlooked by the bulk of our readers, we have no doubt that we shall gratify them by quoting it again. Bishop TEGNER is not a scribbler of virulent political pamphlets and charges, like Bishop PIIILPOTTS ; nor of dull, prosy, rig marole letters to Ministers of State, like Bishop M'HALE. Bishop TEGNER is a poet, and a man of genius, and therefore well selected to prove the crooked, contracting, and pernicious influence of the clerical spirit upon the most lofty minds. Hear, not the world-enlightening poet, but the light-fearing Bishops', address to the Swedish Go , vernment " The Consistory is of opinion that the education of the working classes should be essentially religious. Oth e r knowledge may not only be dispensed with, but often be considered as injurious. Half knowledge converts the peasant into a reader of newspapers, a country politician, which is the worst that a peasant can become in the Diet. That half knowledge tends to make the peasant a grum bler and a malcontent. It is melancholy to see in the Diet how the Swedish peasant is altered, who in the days of his glory looked upon it as his destination to love and to honour God and the King. The Abendblatt is his Bible, and talking- politics his favourite occupation. I - k has hardly any reg ar d f or hi s own b u siness, and if he returns to it it is only to complain of his burdens. He can talk all kind of rigmarole about the rights of man, constitutional liberty, and the due balance of the powers of the State, which he has picked up from the newspapers and the jour nalists, who are hi s pa id patron s. No epidemic is so contagious as th e d emocrat i c ; an d those who remain at home listen w i t h pleasure to t h e lib e ral declamations of the enlightened. Th us t h e c l ass w hich ought to form th e soundest part of the nation is gradually demo ralised. To educate and f orm t h e w h o l e o f the working classes for such constit ut i ona l di scuss i ons i n the Diet by new a n d enlarged p opu l ar sc h ools, seems t o be designed by th e strange claim s on the Young S we d en now everyw here make. The C on . popular schools which the fo unders of sistory pities any society the members of which are edu • cated from their youth in such a spirit, and have means to maintain it." The good Prelate's dread of half-knowledg e i s amusing. He takes it for granted that no peasant, knowing how to read, would touch a Bible, while he could find a newspaper. But why stop at the half-knowled ge point in the education of the pea sant ? Why not teach him those lessons of mo rality, which so i n fl uence t h e pious lives of t h e priesthood ? But the Bishop's meaning is not so well disguised, that we cannot discover it at a glance. By half-knowledge, he means learning without pelf—a sense of evils which neither the clergy nor the aristocracy are prepared to remedy, and which an enlightened peopie Cull4tl imeitwer be persuaded nor compelled to tolerate. The Bishop's objections are substantially as follow :—lf you want to maintain the present order of things, keep the people as they are. The sum of their duties must ever consist in toiling, pay ing taxes, and saying their prayers, if you wish to maintain an army of priests for explaining a book which every man is bound to study and explain for himself ; and for acknowledging in you powers and prerogatives whieh, did they comprehend them, they would derive from themselves, instead of al lowing you to claim them immediately from heaven. Educate the people, and you open their eyes to the oppressions under which they groan ; you expose before them the countless evils of tyranny, and you supply them with strength to shake off their fet ters. As our respective orders can only exist by the oppression of the multitude, and as the multi tude will only endure oppression when ignorant of their power and their rights, leave the education of the people to those who have so adroitly conducted it in all ages and nations for your benefit and their own—the Established Clergy I This is without disguise the doctrine of Bishop TEGNER, and the doctrine of the whole of the Ecclesi astical faction, Protestant and Popish, throughout the world. To a certain extent they judge cor rectly. But as we neither apprehend popular de moralization, the decrease of Gospel knowledge, nor the weakening of well organized systems of Re presentative Governments, from a decrease in the number of Lordly Prelates consequent upon the general enlightenment of the people, we share not in the terrors of the Episcopal Bench. The communication inserted in another part of the paper was not required to convince the unpre judiced of the wickedness and folly of certain par ties in stigmatising the meeting at Exeter Hall, as composed of " indirect enemies of Poland." The names of Colonel STANHOPE, of the brave and distinguished patriot DwERNICKI, and of many others present, are a sufficient guarantee that they would not betray such a sacred cause. It is to be feared, however, that the great enemy of Poland has agents at work to sow dissen sions among the exiles, and to make them fight with each other, as their ancestors did when the Three Powers dismembered the king dom, in order to prove to France and Eng land that they are still the same quarrelsome and divided people. It therefore becomes every Pole to guard against the snare, and to prove, as is well and kindly expressed in the resolutions, that " there is in reality and substance no difference among the Poles as regards their attachment to their cause, and their views of the rights and prospects of the Polish people." That cer tainly is not to be accomplished by allying them selves to any political party in this country. They are alike cherished and protected by Whigs, Tories, and Radicals ; and every real friend of Poland must regard it as an act of madness or something worse, to diminish the sympathy of the public by mixing themselves up with English politics. We cannot imagine any of them so base and so treacherous as to sell themselves to the man who slaughtered their brave companions in arms—destroyed their na tionality—and treated their wives and daughters worse than slaves, yet it cannot be denied that by taking a violent part, either with Chartists or any other political sect, they injure the sacred cause ns effectually as by the basest treachery. We have received a letter on the subject from a Polish refugee, who gives his name, but we must de cline publishing it or any of a similar character. It would only add fuel to the flame. Madrid Journals of the 23d ult. were received this morning. The Cabinet were carrying all before them. They had removed the Captains-General of New Castile, Andalusia, and Granada, and re placed them by creatures of their own, prepared to support the retrogade and anti-constitutional system of the Government. Bribery, threats, promises— every engine of corrupt despotism was put in mo tion to secure a majority in the Cortes at the ensuing election. In the mean time, while fear and apprehension reigned in the capital, the state of the army was truly deplorable. ESPARTERO'S troops were without food, and the General himself was compelled to retire from Las Parras to Las Matas to obtain some supply of provisions. Th,, troops commanded by Generals O'DONNELL anti LEON were in a similar state of wretched destitu tion. But what care the miserable drivellers at the head of the Spanish Government about the fate of the army or of Spain ? Absolutely nothing, provided they can maintain themselves in office, and enjoy the fat emoluments of place. By the arrival of the Braganza steamer at Fal mouth on Saturday, we have received Lisbon papers of the 25th of November, but their contents are unimportant. Arrived on the 24th, at Lisbon, the Braganza, steam packet, from Gibraltar and Ca diz, at 7, P.m. ; the Liverpool steam packet from London and Falmouth with the mail of the 16th inst.. having during her passage experienced ex ceedingly boisterous weather, and lost two of her crew, who fell from the yard and were killed. Bri tish ships of war in the Tagus—Donegal, Espoir, and Blenheim, the latter at anchor in Paco de Arcos Bay, for general exercise. Exchange upon London at 30 days' sight, 56 to 56 : 1 pence per milrei--discount on ex-paper money, 60 per cent. The French Journals of Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, have all been received this morning. The Journals of Thursday and Friday, which ought to have reached us early or. Saturday, were delayed in consequence of the fog. The ex plosion of another infernal machine in Paris on Thursday evening, fortunately without injury to hnman life, has excited a great stir in the previ ously dull capital of the fashionable and excitement loving world. We copy the details of this affair from the Journals before us ANOTHER INFERNAL MACHINE. (From the Moniteur of Saturday.) On Thursday evening, about eight o'clock, a loud explosion was heard in the Palais Royal ; it was found to be occasioned by a huge cartridge, containing a large number of bullets, which had just exploded in the Rue Montpensier, before the Passage Potier. Several win dows of the neighbouring houses were broken, and a wall was thrown down. — Upwards of 50 bullets were picked up in the street, and a large sheet of paper, which probably contained the powder. By a most fortunate chance, no person happened to be passing at the moment through thi s usually frequented s p o t, and this new infernal machine did not attain the murderous object of its diabolical constructor. The author of this abominable attempt still remains undiscovered. (From the Gazette des Tribunaux.) The cartridges are thus constructed : I lb. of powder is strongly wrapped up and bound round with string and thick paper. Round this packed is then wound a coat of tarred hemp, in which is placed a large number of bullets ; this is again tarred all over and placed in a canvass bag. A match communicating with the powder, which is in the middle of the cartridge, protrudes through the orifice of the sack, which is strongly fastened. Experiments which have been made on these cartridges have been, as we said before, attended with results simi . ar to those experienced in the Rue Mont pensier. M. Zangiacomi, Juge d'lnstruction, and one of the substitutes of the Procureur du Roi, has minutely in spected the premises, but at present no discovery has been made. (From the Conzmerce.) The diabolical petard, whose explosion has made . so much noise in Paris, has l e ft no traces o f i ts manufac turers. A woman declares that she saw a man of about thirty years of age, decently dressed, walking up and down before the place, as if watching for a favourable oppor tunity to carry his dangerous design into execution. At length she saw him go through the p as sage leading to the Cafe des Mille Colonne, and the explosion took place almost instantly. • _ lu audition to this ailair ul the ififetnai THE FUNDS. The Great Western steamer which has been an xiously looked for, has arrived from New York, sailed on the 16th ult. The mercantile accounts she brings are of a more favourable nature than was a nticipated. Th e United States Bank Shares have improved to 70, they had previously reached 73. The New York Bank, and that of Boston continued specie payments ; it Was also expected that several other banks in th e United States would resume specie payments. The Exchange on England was from 8 to Bi. The only disappointment to the merchants is that she has not brought any specie, but plenty of bills, some of which are on France and Holland, which will have an effect on the Foreign Exchanges to-morrow, when, no doubt, they will be n egotiated.

The LORD CHANCELLOR was occupied the whole morning with an appeal motion in this ease. 4hich re f lated to accounts of certain mortgages . The facts o the case did not possess the slightest interest. VICE-CHANCERY.--(THIS DA Y.) . _ -e. This being the first teal alter Michaelmas Teri% the Court took motions to-day. NEWLAND 2/. HOLMES. Mr. JACOB (with whom was)lr. Bethel') applied in this case to dissolve an injunction which his Honour granted the other day ex parte, upon the application of Mr. James Russell. The injunction granted ret drained the defndant from taking out execution upon certain household furniture and other property belonring to the wife of the plaintiff. The lady, under her fa ther's will, previous to marrying the plainr tiff, became possessed of certain leasehold ,houses in West-square, together with the furnitut e in one of them, and also to a sum of 6,0001. in the fonds. On her marriage with the plaintiff, in 1833, they took up their residence in one of the houses belonging to the lady, and the defendant, Mr. Holmes, also resided 10 West-square. Sometime since the plaintiff, conceiving" that a stable in the occupation of the defendant was port of the property devised to his wife by the father's will, proceeded to take possession of it, b y taking off the roof. The defendant for this brough t an action of trespass against him, an d ob tained 2eo/. damages ; to recover which the defendant. threatened to take out execution against the g the wife, andoods ot object of the to restrain him from duing which was t?e solved.

SUICIDE.—This morning, between one and two o'clock, Henry Herbert, a young man of re spectab le connections, and who was assis tant to Mr. Marsh et a ll, the proprietor of the Rising S un Tavern, Somers-plec New-road, St. Pancras , exp ired at University College Hospital, from the effects of having discharged a pocket pistol loaded wiLli ball into his mouth, which he did with the intention of terminating his existence. It ap pears that the decease d had been in a low and despond: ins state of mind for some time past, in consequence ot his being rejected as a suitor by a female in a better station of life than himself. DETENTION OF THE MAILS.—This morning, the principal part of the western and northern mails did not arrive at the General Post Office, for nearly four hours beyond their usual time; the detention was occa sioned by the immense floods, and dangerous travelling. FIRE. --Early on Saturday morning, the pre.. mises of Mr. Child, a tallow chandler, at Earl's-court, T` rnr fof the dr: iog - room ig K destroyed.Teilnygte THIS WINTER. From present appearances, everything bids fair for a general rumpus this winter. The states of Missouri and lowa arc just on the eve of a general fight about a small portion of territory in dispute between them. The loafers along the Canada border are making great preparation for a descent on some part of her Majesty's colonial territory ; and they will require alt the exertions of the Great Pacificator, General Scott, to keep them in subjection. In the state of Maine they have begun to depredate upon the timber ; and the Blue Noses and Red Noses are glaring and blowing fiercely at each other. Maine and Georgia have quarrelled about giving up some slave stealers ; and the Governor of the latter state has told the legislature to pass a law authorising the seizure and imprisonment of every man from the state of Maine, upon the presumption that if he is not a thief or a rogue, he soon will be. In the state of Massachusetts, there is an awful internal ex citement and commotion, about the question of " Rum or no Rum," and we should not wonder if blood be shed before rum drinking be abolished. In the State of New York, the legislature is so nearly matched that ' there will be most awful scenes of contention, the whole of the session ; which will not be allayed in the least by the introduction of the contemplated temperance law by the Whigs. In New Jersey there will be a great domestic fight about the disputed Congressional seats. At the city of Washington the session is expected to open in a manner almost as riotous as the last session at Harrisburgh, on account of the disputed seats. In Florida there will be fighting, and murders, and massacres, all through the winter. And to crown the whole, and wind up the scene of commotion, the whole of obr frontier, west of the Mississippi, is threatened with a bloody, destructive, and protracted Indian war, on account of the demand on the Chero kees for the murderers of Ridge and his friends. There are 20,000 Indian warriors upon the frontiers, and it is impossible to foretell what will be the effects of the first blow which may be struck. In the event of union among the different tribes, the forces of the Government upon the frontier would be totally inadequate to the protection of our citizens. These are our prospects for the ensuing winter in the various parts of the country ; and if any one under takes to say that matters and things do not wear very much the aspect of a row all round the compass, to say nothing of local fights and domestic hubbubs, we beg leave to say that we differ from them entirely. e w York Morning Herald. FIRES. The cotton and woollen factory of Col. Wm. Gar rett, a few miles from Elktown, Md., was accidentally destroyed by fire on the Ist inst. The loss is esti. mated at 10,000 dollars, of which only 3,000 dollars is co%ered by insurance. A farm house belonging to J. M. French, Esq., about four miles from Albany, was fired on Saturday night and burnt to the ground. A black man, who calls himself Joe Jackson, has been arrested and put in jail on suspicion. Loss, 800 dollars ; no insurance. FIRE AT AUGUSTA.—A fire broke out in Augusta, Me., on Monday night of last week, in the tannery of Mr. W. Stackpole. Two buildings and the entire stock, valued at 3,000 dollars were destroyed. No in surance. FIRE AT VASSALBOROUGH (ME.) AND LOSS OF LIFE.—The Maine Temperance Gazelle states, that on Tuesday morning last, the house of James Sturges of Vassallborough, which has been for many years past occupied as a tavern, was consumed by fire—and that Mr. Sturgis lost his life. It is also stated that James Sturgis, jun., was seriously injured by some article o furniture thrown from the house, but it is hoped not dangerously. THEATRICALS. At this present writing, theatricals are at a low ebb in this country. Every principal theatre is losing money. The Park and National here, the Chestnut at Philadelphia, and the Tremont at Boston. The Bowery and Wallnut-street are making money, but no others. Miss Shirreff and Mr. Wilson are making im mense sums by their concerts in this city ; Forrest is playing to 250 dollar houses at the National ; the ope ratic corps at the Park are a losing concern. Stephen Price is in a great rage, and has made a great fool of himself ever since he has been here. Charles Kean drew poor houses in Philadelphia and the south ; his last engagement at the National was more successful ; and his present one i❑ Boston is a brilliant one. He returns to England early in the spring. Vandenhoff and his lovely daughter have created a tremendous sensation in Baltimore and this city, and will wherever they may play. Celeste will not play here again ; she is residing with her husband at Philadelphia ; as soon as he recovers she sails for Europe, and goes to Baden Baden. Booth is rustieating on his farm. Abbott and La tham are at Charleston. Brough has succeeded well at the south, with Bishop and Madame Otto. Madame Lecomte and her troupe are greatly applauded, but do not draw full houses. Klishnig, the great ape, is much admired by the New York ladies, who think him almost equal to the apes of Broadway. Chapman is well liked at the Park. Miss Poole and Mrs. Mar tyn, Signor Guibelei, and Mr. Manvers, are gain ing ground nightly in the estimation of their audience ; but still the houses are not well attended any where. The new theatre for Mr. Wallack in this city, it is believed, will be commenced shortly ; and there is a talk of building a new opera house at Philadelphia o❑ a plan superior to every other theatre in this country. No bad women, nor spirits, are to be seen there, the building will front 240 feet on Ches nut, and 147 on Ninth-street. It is proposed that the basement shall be of marble, 15 feet high, divided into stores of 20 feet front by 50 feet deep, and that the upper walls shall be ornamented with Grecian win dows richly dressed ; the whole crowned with a chaste cornice. The stores will be fire-proof, and the row will be the most elegant in the city. At the National Theatre, in this city, where the girls of the town are excluded, the audiences are thin ; at the Bowery, where they are numerous, the audiences are numerous. So rum and licentiousness are likely to carry the day. We long for the arrival of Macready and Fanny Elsler to stir us up. SicKNEss IN THE SOUTH.—Not for many years has the South suffered so much from sickness as during the past year. Hundreds upon hundreds of its best and oldest citizens have been swept off by fever. In Frank lin, Louisiana, peopled by English, French, and New England men, only twelve escaped out of the entire po pulation who remained there. We notice at Mobile the death of the wife of W. C. Watkins, of Finsbury-square, London. The fever has left Mobile and New Orleans, and is raging at Pensacola. TEXAS. IMPORTANT TO THE LADIES.—The prospects of this young republic are improving daily. The foundation of the Government is beyond doubt secure ; and it cannot be very long before the national revenue of the country will call in every dollar of its outstanding debts. She is now in a flourishing condition. Her crops of cot ton are already beginning to be of much importance to the Southern portion of the United States. Fo reign capitalists are gaining confidence in the inte grity and capability of her rulers to meet all demands, and it would not be at all surprising, if, before a twelvemonth expires, the treasury notes of the young republic should stand at par with those of our Government. We stated yesterday that the Texian Congress have passed a law granting 2,982 acres of land to every good woman, who will marry, during the present year, a citize n of that Republic, who was such at the time of the declaration of their inde pendence. This may induc e many young English girls to leave their own green isle of the ocean for Texas. But they must be told one fact , if they reside on the sea board, they will either die of fever, or be tormented to death by mosquitos ; if they go far into the interior, the Indians will kill their husbands and run off with them. If they like an Indian husband, come on. A party of religious people have left Baltimore for Texas. The brig Edwin carried out, among other passengers, the Rev. Mr. Bayless, a Minister of the Presbyterian Church, who designs to settle in that country, so that they'll become pious there in time. SOUTH AMERICA. All the republics of this continent arc in a distracted state. At Buenos Ayres, at the last accounts, the con tending factions were on the eve of a decisive battle. The Bolivian Congress was installed, June 16th, at Chuquisaca. President Velasco, in his message, says— " It has been one of the first acts of my administra tion to set at liberty all Peruvians, Chilians, and Ar gentines, who were exiles or prisoners in Bolivia, assist ing them to retur n to their countries, if they desired so to do, by aid from the national treasury ,‘ The Government, desirous to re-establish peace and a good understanding with the neighbouring republics, ? n p rinei which had been disturbed b y t h e am b it i on o f G enera l Santa Cruz, has given the m a proo f of the pac ifi c dis positionsc relations of BBolivia by sendingprincipl es of th e most per f ec t a nd s envoys to re-establish our rec ip r ocal justice.' Congress passed a l aw , June 1 0th, conti nu i ng G enera l Velasco in office as Provincial P res id ent, until a Presi dent shall be elected or appointed in a constitutional manner. On the 17th they passed a decree defining and restricting the Executive power. FROM CHILL—TiIe Editors of the Journal of Com- the Government directed the office of the Capito the new Russian and Bonapartist organ, to be searched, with a view to the seizure of a treason able correspondence between Prince Louts NA POLEON and the Editor ; and also the Marquis and Count CROUZCHAVREL to be arrested for conspiring against the ORLEANS dynasty. With reference to these events the Paris correspondent of the Times makes the following statement, the importance of which cannot be overrated:— " You require not to be informed that the Republi cans and the Bonapartists have been reconciled, and now form one body. You are also aware that the members of this new community are neither speculators nor cox combs, nor visionaries, but practical men—real fighting men, in fact. Aware of their comparatively insignificant numbers, they resolved on bringing themselves up to an equality with the adherents of Government by other means. Hence the construction of infernal machines, which render one determined man equal to a score. Being disarmed, as respects the legitimate manly musket and sabre, they have resorted to the weapon of the as sassin and the destroyer. This is the more lamentable, as in the use of them it will not be possible to limit or direct the amount of mischief they must occasion. " While searching for other matters, Government seized the threads of another correspondence with London. Why should I disguise it ! They found at the Marquis de Crouy Chavel's on Wednesday last a dozen letters which indicated that he was the medium of communication between the Bonapartists at Rome and abroad and the Republicans. The Marquis (who had been a Chamberlain of the Emperor Napoleon), and who is a man of sixty years of age, was immediately taken into custody, and has been since repeatedly exa mined. His brother, the Count de Crouy Chavel (his junior by twenty years) was also arrested. " Among the documents seized was a proclamation, the heading of which indicated the double (query—ir reconcileable ?) principle of the new party—namely, the imperii eagle, holding in his talons a scroll, on which appears Universal Suffrage !' The text f shall give you in my next. " I shall conclude by assuring you that this affair is regarded as very serious indeed. No proces of the many hitherto ordered by King Louis Philippe embraced so much and such curious documentary evidence ; fourteen persons have been arrested within the last month, and the police are said to be on the traces of many others." If the above statement be correct, we may anti cipate another reign of terror and proscription in France. But we have not space to-day for any comment upon a subject of so much moment not only to France, but to Europe. According to the Constztutionnel the following diplomatic changes are to take place immediately : M. de BACOURT, the resident Minister at Carlsruhe, will be appointed Minister Plenipoten tiary to the United States, in the place of M. DE PONTOIS ; and the Marquis D'EYRAGUES, the Chef du Cabinet of Marshal SouLT, will go to Carlsruhe. M. CASIMIR PERIER, now First Secretary to the Embassy at Naples, is to hold the same post at St. Petersburgh and Count DE BEARN, who for some time past has had no diplo matic appointment, is to be Min;,ster Plenipoten tiary at Cassel, in place of M. DE CABRE. The subjoined extracts include all the other news in the Paris Journals : M. Samson Davilliers was elected on Thursday Member of the Council-General of the department of the Seine, in the place of M, Lafitte. The Moniteur announces an almost universal diminu tion in the price of wheat throughout France. In many of the markets the fall had amounted to two and even three francs per hectolitre. The only two plaesls in which a rise had occurred were Evreux, in the depa;t ment of the Eure, and St. Pourcain, in that of the Allies. BRUSSELS, Nov. 20.—Several journals have thought fit to publish alarming accounts of the King's health. They have spoken of numerous consultations of physi cians, and have stated that a celebrated physician of Paris had been sent for to Wiesbaden by his Majesty. We are able to contradict all these reports. The King's health has been manifestly improved by the use of the waters at Weisbaden. No foreign physician has been called in. The King's ordinary physician, Dr. Riken, is the only one who has attended his Majesty.—lnde pendent. The following is a letter from Frankfort of N0v.20 : —" Germany never was so inundated with gold coin as it is at this moment, and it is almost incredible that, while the United States and England are labouring under financial embarrassments our commercial cities are overflowing with money, and nobody cares to take it. The followinc , is the solution of this enigma, which many persons find so difficult to comprehend. England has never drawn a larger quantity of corn from Ger many than for some time past, for which it has to pay in ready money, because since the existence of the Com mercial League the importation of English goods into our country has so much diminished that it is almost reduced to nothing ; but as English bank notes are not current in Germany, the payments for pur :;bases made here have necessarily been made in cash ; and thus several millions of pounds sterling have been drawn from the Bank of England to circulate among us ; this superabundance of gold has necessarily caused a decline in the value of that metal. Another circumstance, which has created in this country a cer tain prejudice against gold is, that about a year ago, the house of Rothschild and other bankers of Frankfort, caused a quantity of gold to be coined at Hanover. It was soon discovered that this financial speculation had been made at the expense ofpublic credit ; for it was ascertained that the Louis du port in circulation by this means were Plot only of inferior standard value, but likewise of less weight. Hence a prejudice arose against this coin with which we are accommodated, and which cannot be put in circulation but at is lower rate than its nominal value. The house of Rothschild buys up this coin at a price higher than the current: value of the market, giving in return bills at a long date. That it has, in the first place, its advantage by the interest of the pay ment at a distant date, then after having withdrawn the gold from circulation and sent it to England, in coin, a nd first to London, where specie is wanted, and then to Germany, where the current value will necessarily rise as the superabundant quantity is withdrawn from the market."—Le Commerce.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SATURDAY. —We have had a moderate demand for cotton to-day, without material change from yesterday's prices. The sales, 2,500 bags. The letters and Foreign papers have been delivered very late from the Post-office this morning, no doubt owing to the bad state of the roads occasioned by the late heavy rains, as well as numerous letters being re ceived. We have received the Journal of Antwerp of yester day's date from Brussels. It is stated that the King was expected on the Ist of December at Laeken, from his journey to Wisbaden. We have an India mail this morning ; it only brings letters left behind by the last overland dispatch, and of the same dates ; they are not as yet delivered from the Post-office, as well as great number of other letters.
