This language comes somewhat strangely, with the signature of that arch-agitator, John of Tuam, and promises, doubtless, in case of a seccnd Young Ire land movement, the aid of the graduates to assist the police. It would look well for an LL.D of the Catholic university to rank as Detective Learned in the Law in the police force, and to aid in arresting another Daniel O'Connell, or another Thomas Francis Meagher.

"The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy_ in be- half or his heroes and heroines.

There are several chapters, in which links of t he story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha r icterise nature's nobility.

CINDI:RELLA and her gl , As slipper, wonderful as is the history of their adventures, dwindles into insig niflcanc.-3 when contrasted with Britannia and her palace. The imagination becomes irresistibly fascinated by the conjectures arising out of the pros pect of the latter spectacle. Any one in the slightest decree acquainted with the extraordinary influences or emulation, even when those influences are deve loped among mere individuals, will inevitably be dis posed to anticipate great things from such an indus trial emulation as that likely to be superinduced by next year's exposition, seeing that in this instance the whole of the nations of the world are to be the com petitors. Out of a rivalry of so gigs ntic and conspicucus a character it is impossible that strange consequences should not emerge, consequences calculated to effect in a surprising manner the interests of both hemi sphere, and to expedite, in a no less astonishing man nor, the onward march of civilisation. While we are counting, however, thus confidently on the beneficent .advantages likely to accrue to our selves and our world diffused contemporaries, we should bear particularly in mind the circumstance that the arena of this memorable competition will be our own metropolis. To the capital of the British empire, therefore, the representatives of all the principal powers of the earth will be attracted for the purpose of observing the relative value and excellence of their productions. Intelligent foreigners from the north and from the south, from the east and from the west, will haven to London with a pre. determination to exercise an unusual vigilance and a more than ordinary discrimination. Their endeavour to be present on the banks, of the Thames on an oc eaision so momentous to themselves, as well as to England, wiil be greenly facilitated by those increased powers of locomotion which man has acquired of lute 3 ears by the scientific employment of steam in is application to machinery. Added to the fact of :hese railways threading the continents of Europe and America, and of these steamers travers ing the Atl.intio and Pacific Oceans—the almost universal peace just now pervading the chief countries of the habitable glob-, will tend in a peculiar degree 0 multiply the number of our visitors. The enter- / THE SUN, prising Yankee, as well as the indolent Mexican, the active Frank, as well as the enervated Spaniard, the astute German, the wily Italian, . the Swede, the, Dane, and the Russian, the minions of the Shah and of the Caliph, the Gaiour and the Mussul man, the Buddhisland the Catholic—wanderers from the coffee-plantations of Ceylon and from the tea gardens of China, from the sugar fields of the western and spice groves of the eastern Archipelago—will congregate in more or less numbers within the Bills of Mortality, prepared to criticise as well as to be criticised, to submit the products of their own skill to examination, but at the same time to scruti nize the general aspect of ourselves and our institutions. It behoves us consequently, so to speak, to "set our house in order" before undergoing this somewhat perilous inspection. We should remember that while the foreigners will contribute their most precious and ingenious fabrications to the palace of the Exhibition, our whole system, social and moral, industrial and political, will be lai i bare to their ob servation. In the building itself they will see us as it were in our gala dress—that is true enough. But without its circumference they w ill he enabled to traverse the streets of our metropoli•i, and there to witness the English multitude, as it were, in its every-day attire, and en gaged in its ordinary avocations. Without arrogating to ourselves, as a nation, any unconscionable or un deserved superiority, we may be permitted to say that, in the majority of instances, we await this review of our general appearance with no very timo rous anticipations. As if to afford encouragement on this head to the least sanguine, we have witnessed the favourable impression produced upon a mind such as that of M. DE LAMARTINE, on his very recently SW veyi7g the aspect of our capital and the surrounding provinces. In point of industry, of enterprise, of sobriety, of decency, and even in some degree of cleanliness, England may look with confidence to the results of any reasonable comparison. Our healthy agriculturists, our thriving manufacturers, our shops crowded with purchasers and filled with the costliest materials of merchandize, our numerous schools and churches, and mechanics' institutes and charitable es tablishments, cannot fail to excite the wonder and admiration of our visitors, as they have already called forth the earnest panegyrics of M. DE LAMARTINE. Nevertheless, with all these reasons for satisfaction, on our part, at the prospective arrival of the fo reigners in this metropolis, there are several eyesores and blemishes which, either from their grossness or their magnitude, must glare upon the eye of every stranger immediately on his entrance to the capital, and the mere thought of which fills our minds at the same moment with shame and indignation. Nu merous as these eyesores and blemishes are, we shall only refer to one or two of the most conspicuous, in the hope that efforts may be made betimes, either for their removal or diminution. For instance, it were idle to expatiate further upon the disgraceful insufficiency of drainage throughout London, and upon the abomi nable practice penisted in of polluting the waters of the river Thames. F.qually fruitless would it be to demand just now the destruction of Middle-row, Holborn, that most ungainly and inconvenient ob struction in one of our principal thoroughfares. Neither would there be much utility in calling upon the Commissioners of Metropolitan Improvement to cart away the old rotten houses of Holy well street to some wa►te land, where dry rubbish can be shot at pleasure. Farringdon-street must still remain flawed by the empty space once occupied by the Fleet Prison, now a void as ugly as the socket of an eye long removed, or the hollow of a tooth long extracted. Parties mus t still continue to squabble about Smithfield ; and St. John's-gate, one of the most precious relics of metropolitan antiquity, must still continue a dilapidated tavern of the homeliest cha racter. Such useless pomps as the marble arch, again will of course remain huddled together in some out of-the-way corner, a mere heap of damaged bricks and splintered marble. What we would see, how ever, actually placed beyond the reach of derision before the arrival of the foreign visitors to the Exhi bition, may be wry easily enumerated. We would see— First—NELSON'S COLUMN COMPLETED! Secondly—THE CENTRAL PART OF LEICESTER SQUARE REDUCED TO SOME SORT OF ORDER AND DECENCY! Thirdly—THE IXTERIOR, AT LEAST, OF ALL OUR PUBLIC BOILDIPIG9 RELIEVED PROM ALL UN- NEC!. SSADY EOABDING AND CA FrOLDING Fourthly—THE DIECONYJISUANCR OF THE GRACEFUL SYSTEM OF TARING HALFPENCE AT TUE PORCITES OF OUR CATHEDRALS Before the opening of the Exhibition of 1i5 . 1 these four improvements at the very least should be effected, unless we are desirous of appearing in the eyes of our 'visitors in a very paltry and disgraceful predica ment. That the monument erected to commemorate the national homage for " the darling hero of Eeg• land " should remain at this moment unfinished is a circumstance reflecting shame upon an empire gifted with maritime supremccy. Let it not be said that this miserable token of our parsimony and ingratitude remained in 1851 to excite the ridiculed' ell let t ing e n t foreigners! That the other changes before-mentioned should be accomplished in like manner must be equally obvious—especially in regard to Leicester square, when it is remembered that among all the localities of London, that is the one most frequented by foreigners. Experience has shown, moreover, the ill effects of the long esta blished hoardings in front of such slowly improved structures as Buckingham Palace and the British Museum. As to the mercenary conduct visible in the guardianship of a great ecclesiastical edifice like St. Paul's Cathedral it were unnecessary to argue against an evil so glaringly and paief . ully conspicuous. Im provements such as these should be forced upon the acquiescence of the different authorities, and the me tropolis of England be thereby at length relieved from evils reflecting disgrace upon our economy and our For tcnii.lerhble time past e have emleavc ured cllrt.‘ct the public L'..tention t' the Carrenzy qutstit)n, We have done so from a thorough conviction cf it, imtmense, its vital importance to the industrious clas!_es. The commercial, the manufacturing, the agricultural interests, and the labouring population of the country are alike concerned in the proper solution of the great problem. It is eminently the people's ques tion, on which their condition—whether it be one of prosperity or distress, of happiness or misery—moinly depends. A circulating medium sufficient for the wants and exigencies of the country is indeed. the very life-blood of industry. With it, trade is brisk and active ; the products cf the loom, the anvil, and the farm are in full demand; the skilful artisan and the agricultural labourer are certain of remune rating employment, of obtaining a " fair day's wages for a fair day's work." It is unnecessary to dwell upcn the reverse of this picture—of the inevitable consequences of a scarcity of the representative and measure of value. It has been too recently and painfully illustrated to require further notice, and those who are disposed to remain indifferent or spa tbetic will be startled into activity by the remem brance of the commercial monetary panic of October, 1847. That untoward state of affairs was directly pro duced by a reckless and improvident tampering with the currency. It was the natural result of the mone tary code established by the injudicious and impo litic Act of 1819, and rendered more stringent and intolerable by the Act of 1844. We do not desire to accuse the parties by whom these enactments were carried through the Legislature of any dishonest in tentions, or of any wish to increase their own fortunes at the expense of the community ; but if such had been the object no snore efficient means could have been adopted for the purpose. By means thereof the drones were enabled to extract an in creased proportion of honey from the bees in the national hive ; the turden of every public and pri vate obligation was more than doubled—the chains of the debtors double-riveted, tnd themselves and families handed ov'cr to the tender mercies of their insatiable creditors. It was, in fact, the triuropli o f the moneyocracy, to whom the rest of the community were ruthlessly sacrificed. It was declared by a competent witness that the Act of 1819 was carried by the power and influence of the landed proprietors—that it was the result of a compact between them and the great capitalists. The corn-law was the equivalent for which they bartered the welfare end prosperity of the country. They vainly hoped that war prices could be main- FRE FRE 11 RE PUBLI C We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Patrie continues its marvellous revelations on the subject of the great Socialist conspiracy which has been smelt out by the susceptible nose of M. AMEDEE DE CESENA. These conspirators are terrible fellows, and according to M. AMLDEE DE CESENA are as clever as they are terrible, for says this Sir Oracle of La Patrie— " We have not yet declared with what art they conceal their designs of declaring war against all the monarchies of the earth, nor by what cunning joining an infernal hypocrisy to a profound perversity they endeavour to enroll in their ranks ambitious and credulons young men, by disguising themselves alter nately under a Legitimrtist and OrleaniA mask." The idea of the Legitimatists end Orleanists (simple•minded men as they are known to be, from MN/. BERRYER, Tniaus , end ODILON BARRCT down wards) being the dupes of the Socialists, led on by PIERRE LERI , UX at.d PROUDIION, is certainly exces sively rich. 'The above quoted passage, however, should act as a wan ing to the LegititnatMs and Orleanists. They have for the last eigh'een months brought the accusation of Socialism against every one who was not a Monarchist, and have ferociously hunted down men as Socialists who were even more strongly op posed to Socialist doctrines thaa were the Monar chists themselves; now, " Even• handed justics Commends the ingredient of the poisoned cbalico To their own lips;" and the organ of the Ely Fee denounces as Socialists all who are not Botapartists. Perchance before Christ mas we may see 111M.BERRYER and ODILON BARROT driven into exile upon precisely the same charges as those brought against M. LEDRU Itommt, and with quite as good foundation. The Llloniteur announces that the Attorney-Gene ral has commenced a prosecution against the director of La Mode, and against M. DE BESSELIEVRE, who 'igned an article containing an offence against the -PRESIDENT of the Republic. All the Legitimatist journals are now under pro secution or have been so since the commencement of the present month. This fact tends to show that the paragraph in the Patric to which we have alluded, was written "with aiu - rpose." It was in precisely this manner that, at the time the expedition was sent to Rome, the reactionary conspirators conducted the plot for the ruin of LEDRU ROLLIN and his party. They first of all endeavoured to confound him and the section of Republicans with which he was con nected with the Socialists and Communists, even as now they are endeavouring to do with regard to the Legitimatists; they then accumulated prosecutions on all the journals of that party, even as they are now doing on the Legitimatist journals; and if they do not " play the play out" it will not be for want of will. It was rumoured that General D'FIAUTPOUL had tendered hiA resignation to the PRESIDENT. The Toulonnais of the 17th says— " Strong detachments of the 36th and 53d Regiments of the Line, amounting in all to 1,000 men, were em barked yesterday and to-day on board the steam-frigate San(e and the steam-corvette Veloce, for Civita Vecchia. It appears that the reinforcements sent to the French army in the Roman States amount to nearly 5,000 men. A quantity of ammunition was also sent by the Sat 4.

They erroneously supposed that they could still obtain 10s. or 11s. per bushel for wheat, when a metallic cur rency had been substituted for a paper currency, a gold pound worth 20s. for a paper pound worth 13s, Their fatal mistake was speedily apparent. It was found that neither a fixed duty nor a sliding scale, neither an absolute monopoly nor heavy import duties could afford adequate protection to agriculture. From that time to the present they have maintained a hope less and ineffectual struggle for that which they themselves rendered impossible ; and the Acts of 1815, 1822, 1828, and 1842, successively failed to produce the intended effects, because, as Sir JAMES Gaauam truly declared, it was " absurd to talk of price without reference to money, and impossible to alter the quantity of money without affecting prices." The corn laws and the money laws were an tagonistic. The object of the former was to rase prices—of the latter to prevent prices rising. And the farmers too late discovered the potency of the spirit they had evoked, which eventually worked out their own destruction. The Act of 1844 consider ably increased the effect of that of 1819. The one restored cash pay:nents, and required that all liabilities should be liquidated in bullion, or in notes redeemable on demand—the other limited the quan tity of these notes, and created an artificial scarcity of bullion, by compelling the Bank of England to keep a large stock of specie lying idle and unproductive in its vaults, as useless for all practical purposes as if it still remained buried in the Ural mountains or min gled with the sands of California. But while the money interest thus increased their power, and obtained more than they had contracted for, the agriculturiste were deprived of the fruits of their improvident bargain. The corn-laws were abolished. Free trade in corn and in commo dities of every description was established, while the restrictions on money were rendered more stringent than ever. , The contest that had been maintained for thirty years between the manufacturers and agriculturists was brought to a conclusion. Their interests are no longer conflicting. The nation is not ROW divided against itself, and both parties may co operate together in order to obtain a sufficient supply for all, in place of struggling, like the children de scribed by Loess, to procure for themselves an undue proportion of " the scanty coverlet," which the im providence of the parent had alone provided. It is incumbent upon the agriculturists, therefore, to take a prominent and active part in obtaining the repeal of these Acts, us it was through their own culpable folly that the curse was inflicted on the country, through which they are themselves suffering so severely. Never was a legislative measure of such vast im portance so hastily or recklessly adopted. Parliament was distinctly and impressively warned in 1819 of the probable, the inevitable results, of the Bill then pend ing for the restoration of cash payments. The direc tors of the Bank of England, the merchants, bankeree and traders of the city of London—all who were best qualified to form an accurate judgment of its effects, uplifted their warning voices, but in vain. No atten tion was paid to their remonstrances ; greater weight was attached to the flippant assertions of the currency quacks than to the emphatic cautions of these expe rienced men. Never was a prophecy more fully and completely verified than that contained in the petition of the merchants, bankers, and traders of the metro polis, presented in the House of Commons by the first Sir ROBERT PEEL. They declared that the measure would " tend to a forced, precipitate, and highly in jurious contraction of the circulating medium of the country ;" and " tbat the consequences of that con traction would be to add to the burden of the public debt—greatly to increase the pressure of the lazes — to lower the value of all landed and commercial property—seriously to affect both public and private credit—to embarrass and reduce all the operations of agriculture, manufactures, and commerce—and to throw out of employment (as in the calamitous year 1816) a great proportion of the industrious and labouring population of the community." Alas! the truth of the prediction was but too speedily and too painfully established to leave any doubt as to the real calve of the distress and suffering, the riots and disturbance that prevailed throughout the entire country in 1819, 20, 21, and 22—the price of wheat in the latter year being 38s. ld. per quarter, notwith. standing the law which was to keep it up to 80s. What, then, do we now demand ? It will not be sufficient to repeal the Acts of 1819 and 1844, with out adopting a substitute; and it is essential that all monetary reformers should agree upon a measure establishing a suitable and well-secured circulating medium. Any differences in this respect would re tat'd, if not prove absolutely fatal, to the realization of their anxious hopes. For this purpose, we strongly recommend the plan proposed by Mr. JOHN TAYLOR, and advocated by the Rev. Mr. TweeLs, Mr. JONA THAN DUNCAN, and many other enthusiastic and de. voted currency refer:nem The " commercial money" suggested by ,dr. DU.NCAN would be found a valuable adjunct. As Ise are always desirous of rendering honour where honour is due, we wish to mention that in a very able pamplct,* published in 1847, Mr. Tnomas BANISTER, of the Inner Temple, proposed " that Government should issue paper, confined to the extent of our taxation, which should be taken for taxes, and in every transaction, and paid for salaries in common with the metal coin." This little brochure will be found well worthy of attention, re ferring, as it does, to our colonies, our trade, our cir culating medium, and our railways. It has, we believe, already passed through several edidons, and we trust that the talented author, will speedily give an enlarged edition to the public. Under the present circumstances of the country, we cannot dispense with the services of so efficient a collaborateur as Mr. BANISTER. * " Memoranda relating to the Present Crisis as re gards our Colonies, our Trade, our Circulating Medium, 14,1,1 Pailwsyl."

RAILWAY AND OMNIBUS REVENUES —lt will scarcely be credited that the threepenny fares of the Bays water omnibuses produce a larger mileage revenue than the London and North-Western Railway. Yet such is the fact. A few figures will explain it. There are 41 omnibuses on the Bayswater-road. Their average receipt is 2/. 10s. each per day. That amounts to about 717/. per week from the 41 omnibuses. As the length of the road which they traverse is about seven miles, this makes a mileage receipt of about 10!./. —a receipt which the London and North-Western Railway does not average.

THE HUNGARIAN HEROINE, THE BARONESS VON BECK.— This courageous lady, who was employed in some of the mast perilous secret missions between the commanders of the Hungarian army, during their late heroic struggle to preserve their independence, arrived a few month. ago in England, and has been ever since occupied, almost exclu sively, in writing a narrative of her adventures, and sketches of many of the distinguished characters with whom she came in contact. The Countess lost her husband at the bar ricades at Vienna, where he was slain by a cannon ball. As another instance of female heroism and fortitude, the Ba roness Yon Beck's vivid impressions of the strange and ro mantic scenes through which she passed cannot fail to be welcomed with deep interest. This work will be published immediately. Art rejoices in her own labours, because the ener-' getic mind requires exercise; and such works are the reflec tions of its thoughts, its capabilities, and its virtues.— Eliza Cock's Journal.

It was rumoured that the relations between Spain and the United States were not of such a cordial nature as the well-wishers to both countries could wish, and that Mr. WEBSTER, the American Foreign Minister, had taken umbrage at the haughty tone of the last note presented from the Spanish Cabinet on the affairs of Cuba. MADRID BOLSA, OCT. 16.—Three per Cents., 34 9 16 ; Five per Cents., 13i paper. Exchange on London, 40 30 money. GERMAN Y. The Minister of the ELECTOR of kiesse-Cassel made a formal report and application on the affairs of the Electorate to the Frankfort Diet on the 17th, which was referred to a Committee. Prussia con tinues firm in her purpose not to permit any inter vention by Austria or the Austrian Diet in the affairs of Hesse. At Cassel up to the 18th affairs con ' tinned in precisely the same state in which they had b?en for some time previously. It appears that the ELECTOR, on the one hand, has issued directions to G,neral HAYNAU to retrain for the present strictly on the defensive, that is, neither to advance nor recede. On the other hand, the Committee and its supporters have been urgently advised by the Prussian Govern ment to remain passive, and not adopt themselves, or allow to be adopted, any steps that may serve as a pretext for the employment of strong measures, and thence waken their own cause. The Cs'ogne Gazette has the following from Nil hehnsbad of the 18. h Oct.:— "It is a fact that the propositions of M. Elvers have not been accepted by the Elector, but the intervention of MM. Duysing and Lpstbrrg have given anoth , r turn to the question. • At present the :dinisterial candidates have a prospect of obtaining the adoption of their pro. gramme, aid if se are well informed one of the chief obstacles to the re-establishment. of the regular order of things has just been overcome."

The Copenhage.n Berlingske, in consequence of various reports circulated relative to the French Colonel DE LA Torn DU PIN, publishes a few words to say that M. DE LA Tons. had arrived at Schleswig on the day subsequent to the battle of Idstedt, and had no command—that he left Schleswig before the affair of Missunde. The Berlingske then adds that the Colonel no sooner heard of the first attack on Friefler;chstaflt, than he hxstened to return to the arms (////0/ , '"i'), ami rtacht,i the be+a,:uertii teR in time to v . : l !ness the repul , of the ei - ,:•oy.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. Tha sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken on speculation and 500 for export. The :ales comprised 5,000 American, 600 Pernam and Maranhum at 710. to 91d., 600 Bahia at 8*:1. to B&d., 300 Egyptian st Sid. to qd., and 600 Surat at sd. to 64d. per lb. The market was animated at very full prices for American sorts.—Euilway Shares were firm, tend at higher quo totions. The mercantile markets abroad are reported to have been tolerably brisk, and at the Leipzie fair trade was active at the latest date. The papers from the United States furnish a copy of a letter from the Secretary of the Treasury upon the ►ubject of the measures Wk. n to prevent francs upon the revenue since the passvge of the Act of 1846, which was expected to had to serious results, inasmuch as it effected a change from specific duties to duties levied ripen the foreign value of imported merchandise, and :owe c f the anticipated difficulties seem to have arisen, and fraudulent invoices continued to multiply, and the Customs authorities were compelled to issue very stringent regulations, dr daring, for example, among other things, that forced sales by auction, &c., could not be tnken as the true market of such goods. The following is one case in point:—Mr. Secretary Walker decided that the 16th section of the Act of 3Uth August, 1842, prescribed that the date, in refer( ace to which the value of foreign merchandise is to be esti mated, was the period of exportation to the United States, and very clearly exhibited the consequences of any other construction to the revenue and the importer. This matter was involved in a suit commenced. by The mpson and Forman, of London, extensive insnufae turers of railroad iron, against Philip Greely, jun., col- lector of the customs at Boston. Thompson ;and Forman shipped a cargo of railroad iron from Newport, in Wales, to Boston—the invoice and bills of lading for the same bear date the 24th of February, 1849, and tho price per invoice was Si. per ton. The United States appraisers appraised the value at 61. per ton. On an appeal to merchant appraisers, it was appraised at Si. 15s. per ton. The duty was paid, and a penalty for undervaluation imposed, and likewise paid. It was admitted that on the 24th of February, 1849, the date of the invoice and bill of lading, 5/. 15s. per ton was the true market value of such iron. Thompson and Forman, the mannfacturers, claimed that this iron was contracted for on the 24th of January, 1849, at which lime the market value thereof was only 51. per ton. On this point the charge of Judge Wood-' bury. of the Supreme Court, as reported, was "that the Acts of Congress expressly provide that the time to ba :elected for fixing the value is the time when the article is purchased or procured abroad, unless the article is one imported from a country where it was not grown or ma nufactured. There the provisions in the Acts of 1823 and 1842 provide that the value shall be fixed as at the time of exportation." " I am aware that, in practice at some custom-houses, the time of the purchase and procurement is usuully, as , a general rule, considered the date of the bill of sale. This would, in most cases, not differ from the value at the time of the purchase, as it varies often but a few days or weeks, and the price but a few farthings. But in cases where the difference in time and price is in truth considerable, and the importer requests the true time of purchase to be taken, the Custom-house, and courts and juries, would not comply with their oaths tc follow the law, unless all were governed by the value at the time of purchase or procurement." Upon a comparison of the opinions of Mr. Secre tary Walkes and those of Judge Woodbury upon this point, it will be seen that, if the judge be correct, the foreign manufacturer can make his selection of the date at which this merchandise was procured, and thereby be enabled to value his commodity to suit his interest, whether at the time of shipment or time of manufacture —whereas a purchaser is confined to the date of pur chase. If the law allows any distinction between the duties which shall be payable by manufacturers and pur chasers of iron, an immediate correction should be trade. Another example is that of three shipments of pi• mento, which were made from the island of Jamaica at about the same period—two of them to New York by the same vessel, the invoices of which bear the same date; the other to Baltimore, and all per account of the shippers. The New York invoices were both at 21d. per pound; but, before making entry, one of the parties added ed. per pound, to make the price conform to the fair market value. The other entered his without makingany addition to the value ; the appraisers eddsd id. to the value ; the parties demands d a re-appraisement by merchants, which was held, and the appraisers' valuation was sus taieed—the additional duty was accordingly assessed. At Baltimore entry was made without any addition to the value; the appraisers added id. to the value. A re-appraisement by merchants was demanded, and the appraisers' valuation was not sustained. Upon a report of all the facts to the Secretary of the Treasury, he de cided that "as these merchant appraisers had placed before them at the time evidence furnished on appraise ment at New York of importations of pimento from Jamaica, shipped about the same time, going to show that the market value of the article was higher than that - stated in the invoice under review, the depart ment is compelled to infer that their estimate of value refers solely to the price or cost paid by the owner or shipper, and not the actual market value or wholesale price at the time of shipment in the principal markets of the country. This being the case, their appraisement is not in conformity with law, and cannot be treated or taken as valid and effectual, and must, consequenely, be disregarded." The rest,lt at nhich the Secretary of the Treasury seems to arrive is, that so long as the present ad valorem system is continued, cases of the grossest fraud will prevail, and a home valuation is recsmineneled. This is a matter in which the English shipper is so highly in terested, that we may hope there will be no extreme legislation reverted to. The following is an a Vend of a letter received by the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders from (heir agents at Bogota, Merars. Follies, Wilson, and Co., dated 13 , h September, and relating to the " Treasury Bills" lately issued by the New Grenadian Government for the dividends in arrear:— " The Bends (1. e. the above Treasury Bills,') we calculate will be worth from 75 to 80 per cent. in this country. The sale will be, however, slow." This extract is sufficient to dissipate in part the ap prehereion expreseed that the bonds would not reatzo above 30 to 30 per cent. The Stock Market opcncd very firmly, but has gone back a little since, owing to a money sale. The tune of the market, in the absence of adverse political intelli gence, is exceedingly firm, and there is a probability of its being sustained by the force of money, if nothing untoward occurs abroad. In the judgment of reflecting men, however, a condition of perfect tranquillity is not to be expected while the reactionists and progressives are so strongly opposed to each other.
