THE SUN, LONDON, SATUR-DAY EVE,NING, .ATTGUST 16, 1845. at ilt.rne, that is, at this moment while I am writing, the Committee of the Free Corps is sitting at Zoffingen, a small town of the Canton of Argau, on the froutiets of Lucerne, which vvai their head-quarters, whence the expedition started. Stirg”r and M. Buschenstein are at Z , ffingen. This is tie day al o on which the Canton of Vaud is called upon to vote lee the new constitution devised by the lucubrations of M. De ..ey and his colkagues. Thus one-halt of Switzerland is in movement at this sane moment." It appears certain that Marshal BUGEAUD has been recalled ; Generals DE RUMIGNY, CIIBIERES, and SE BASTIANI are each spoken of as likely to succeed him. The National has the following on the subject of the Great Northern Railroad:— " All the Companies that had been formed for the purpose of contracting for the Northern Railroad have capitulated in turn. " Yesterday the Company of Pepin Lehalleur surrendered, and to-day that of Admiral Rosamel struck its flag. In con sequence of the accession of those two Companies, it was ne cessary to make a new division of the shares. According to the information we have obtained, the division took place as follows : Francs . Rothschild was awarded Alessrs. Laffitte and Blount 41,500,000 M. Hottingeur M. Rosamel ....... M. Pepin Lehalleur ---- In all ... 170,000,000 " Thus the collusion is flagrant, and there will not even re main a shadow of competition. This being the case, the Government and the Attorney-General cannot avoid insti tuting proceedings against the combination." The same journal states " that Louis Philippe has several times advised Madame Munoz (Queen Maria Christina) to re turn to France. It is also very positively stated that steps have been very actively and perseveringly taken to ecsure a marriage between the Duke de Montpensier and the Infanta Donna Luisa Fernanda." The Funds of nearly all species gave way on the Paris Bourse on Thursday. Yesterday being " Ladyday in harvest," and one of the four great holidays of France, the Bourse was to remain closed.

It will also be the most direct route from London to Warwick, Le.annington, Worcester, Hereford, Kiddermin ster, Stourbridge, Bromsgrove, Droitwich, and Wales. Connecting a very pulous district entirely destitute of railway accommodation ; n, a direct communication between extensive manufactur iog, miller 1, and a?:,ricultural districts, and the best and largest coal fields in the kingdom, thereby considerably reducing the present high price of coals, particularly in the eastern counties. This line must not only be of greet public and local advantage, but also insure traffic .an•l passengers, and goods amply remunerative as aconstruction investment. The survey made pr oves the line to be easy of , and free from engineering difficulties. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow Interest at 41. per cent. per annum on the deposits, as well as on all future calls, front the date of the passing of the Act till the opening of the r •ilway.

We have inserted, to-day, a letter on the subject of claims made by engineers to lines which they profess to have surveyed, and therefore claim to engross, should the formation of any line through that country be after • wards determined upon. Such a claim is sufficiently absurd upon the face of it ; but as the later deals with it in a forcible way, and bears the name of the writer, we have given insertion to it in our columns. REPRESENTATION OF SOUTHWARK.—(THIS DAY.) — As ya electioneering matters in this borough have not taken any very tangible form, the only real business having been dune by the friends of Sir William Moles worth at the meeting last night. To-day Mr. Pilcher, the only other candidate yet declared, held a private meeting of his friends at his own residence, out of which the nucleus of a Committee was formed, and a room taken for their use at the Bridge Hotel. Up to a late period in the afternoon, however, no formal meeting had taken place. Rumours were afloat yesterday, that Arthur K. Barclay, Esq., of the celebrated firm of Barclay and Co., intended coming for ward in the Tory interest. In answer to this, we may say that at a private meeting of his friends, held yesterday afternoon, it was agreed that no gentle man connected with that family would contest the borough. The field is, therefore, at present between Sir William Molesworth and Mr. Pilcher ; and if the friends of the latter show no greater activity than they have already done in forwarding the interests of their candidate, they will stand but little chance in contending against such an active and organiz - 241 body as constitute the Committee on the other side. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner Fax E. ) An applicaation was made by Mr. Hilleary, a solicitor, of Fenchuich-street, to ascertain whether proof of a debt could be admitted under the following circumstances :—The applica tion was made on behalf of a lady whose husband had died in Scotland, and she was executrix and residuary legatee. She had taken the necessary steps to establish her right in Scot land, and the question now was, whether she could not, as executrix, prove against the estate of a London bankrupt. Mr. HILLEARY submitted that the claimant was entitled to prove under the Scottish documents, and quoted several cases wherein foreigners had been allowed to prove. The Learned CO3fMISSIONER said that he was not prepared to say that he should refuse to admit the proof of a foreigner, on proof that all the forms of the country in which he lived had been complied with, such fact being certified under notorial seal ; but in this case he entertained doubts whether the applicant was not bound to take out letters of administration in the Ecclesiastical Courts of this country. He should like to know the mode by which the widow became the representative in Scotland. Mr. HILLEARY said the will was registered in the Court of Session, and she obtained the power of disposition and settle ment of the estate. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that Mr. Hilleary had better take advice on the point. The fiat was before another Commissioner ; and he, therefore, should not give an opinion on such a nice point. SHERIFFS' COURT-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner Bu Ltocx.) VERTUE AND ANOTHER V. RUSSELL. This was an action to recover the sum of 171. 18s. for timber supplied to the defendant. 'I he plaintiffs are timber merchants, and the defendant is a builder at Blackheath. The defendant pleaded never in eebted and also payment. It appeared that the defendant had been solicited for orders by a person named Brembrook, and gave three orders to him and paid him the amount. The goods had been sent direct fr..m the plaintiffs' saw-mills, and the question was whether Brembrook was an agent for the plaintiffs, or was acting on his own account. In his examination he said that he had a run ning account with the plaintiffs, and timber had been supplied to several other persons, and the invoices were sent from the plaintiffs, but he (witness) always received the money. He paid them on account from time to time, but never received any commission from them. He had fallen into difficulties, and then the plaintiffs claimed on defendant ; but there was not, in fact, any difference between that and any other transaction. He never said he had no right to receive the money, or begged that proceedings might not be taken against defendant, or he ( witness) would be liable to be prosecuted. One of the part ners slid, " That it was an ugly job, as he had no right to get the money." On this point he was most positively contra dicted by a clerk to the plaintiffs. The Learned JUDGE said the question was, whether the goods were sold by plaintiff to defendant, or credit was given to Brembrook. It it was given to the defendant, then the pay ment was not good, for it was clear Brembrook was either act ing on his own account, or as agent for defendant, and not as agent for the plaintiffs. The jury retired for half an hour, and then gave a verdict for the defendant. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) James Smith, aged 68 years, who is in independent circum stances, and resides at No. 26, Green-street, Bayswater-road, was charged with indecently assaulting a child, named Lucy Lenghurst, aged eight years. The offence was clearly proved, and he was sentenced to pay a flue of hi., or two months' imprisonment. The prisoner not having the money in his possession was placed in the lock-up cell. An elegantly-dressed and remarkably good-looking young female, who gave the name of Mary Dillon, and who it ap pears resides at No. 26, Duke-street, St. James's, under the protection of a distinguished nobleman, was charged with having been found drunk and incapable of taking care of her self, at two o'clock this morning, under the Quadrant, Regent street. Police-constable No. 62 of the C division, stated that on passing through the Quadrant, he saw the defendant sitting on the step of a door apparently asleep. As he was approaching her she fell on the ground, and on raising her up he found that she was perfectly insensible. With the assistance of a gentleman who was passing by he conveyed her to the station. house, and there found in her possession a 10/, Bank of England note, and some gold and silver in a purse. She had also about her a gold watch, chain, and neck chain, superb gold bracelet, and several diamond and other valuable rings. Mr, HARDWICK (to the defendant) —Do you wish to say anything? The defendant made no answer. Inspector Plume, of the C division, said that she was dumb but not deaf. Mr. HA RDWICK—Has she been so from her birth? Inspector _I do not know, Sir. The defendant was ordered to be discharged. Ma • —AUNDERS'S RAZOR STROP. —We can speak from personal experience of the excellent qualities of ,Mr. George Saunders's metallic tablet strop, which is advertised in another column.

If Mr. Saunders's rules for h o ldi n g and manipulating the razor during shaving be observed, the operation itself is rendered a painless one, and such a thing as a notched chin is a n impossibility. ExEcurriox.—On Monday, at 12 o'clock , Benjamin Ellison, an old man upwards of 'sixty years of age, who was convicted at the last Cornwall Assizes of the wilful murder of Mrs. Ruth Seaman, at Penzance, was executed at Bodmin. The prisoner, who exhibited great firmn ess, confessed his guilt to the chaplain before ascending the drop. STOCKHOLM, AUG. s.—lt is reporte(l that an English mercantile house has offered 1,600,000 S sedish bank dollars for the iron works and estates of the King, in North Bothnia, with the share in the rich mineral tract of Gelliwara, and that the bargain is nearly concluded. to land the mails and passengers. The papers by this arrival are filled with particular details of another great fire which has devastated the city of New York, a fire approaching in area and amount of property lost the great fire in 1835. The scene of the present conflagration borders on that then involved, striking across the city almost to the Hudson river, and destroying many store-houses oc cupied by the first merchants in the city, some three or four hotels, together with several blocks of the finest dwelling houses skirting along the lower end of Broadway. The fire broke out on the morning of the 19th ult., at about three o'clock, in an oil-store occupied by a M. Van Doren, in New-street, a narrow avenue running from Wall street to Beaver-street, parallel to Broadway. The exer tions of the several fire companies on the spot had very nearly succeeded in overcoming the element, when it was found that the fire had communicated to a store-house at the rear of the burning premises, in which was stored a vast quantity of saltpetre or some other combustible material. A few smothered explosions took place, warning the by standers of the impending danger, and barely giving them time to widen the distance between themselves and the burning pile, when the most frightful explosion took place, prostrating some half-dozen warehouses in as many seconds, and throwing masses of burning material high into the air, which, falling through the roofs of the buildings in the neighbouring streets, set all in a blaze immediately. The firemen being prevented, by the fear of a second explosion, from approaching the conflagration for some considerable time, the fire obtained tremendous head-way, spreading in five directions, and defying the utmost endeavours to extinguish or arrest it. It con tinued to spread and rage with astonishing fury till near ten o'clock, A.m., when its further progress was stopped, in some directions by change of wind, in others by intervention of fire-proof roof buildings, in others by the " Croton." Some three hundred buildings have fallen a prey to the calamity, comprising the finest part of Broad-street, both sides, a great part of Exchange-place, New-street, Marketfieki street, and one-side of Broadway from the Waverley Hotel, corner of Exchange-place, as far as the Bowling-green ; also about three noble dwelling housos on the west side of Broad way. From the lower comer of Morris-street, Broadway, where the fire crossed, it is no less than 120 feet wide; yet, aided somewhat by the wind, the fire succeeded in baffling all attempts to arrest it there, and would have ,one clear down to the Hudson had not a change of wind taken place. The loss by this public calamity is estimated at from 5,000,000 to 6,000,000 dollars, most of which is covered by insurance, and as the loss is divided pretty equally amongst the numerous insurance companies, it is expected that nearly all will be paid, though several will have to wind up their concerns in consequence. It appears a little uncertain how much human life has fallen a sacrifice; but not fewer than ten or twelve persons are missing, and thought to have been lost. At the time the mail left this steam-ship the firemen were still employed in playing upon the smoking ruins, and in digging out the burnt merchandise. The Annexation Question was finally agreed upon in the Texan Convention on the 4th ult., and Texas now lies under the protection and government of the " Star and Stripes." Several companies of United States troops have left fur the frontiers of the " New State," partly to repel the encroach ments of the Indians, and partly to act as a stay against any operations the Mexicans might commence. It was considered very improbable that any demonstration would be made by Mexico, she seeing the utter hopelessness of such a proceeding, nevertheless the U. S. squadron still cruised in the " Gulf," and acted as a damper upon any war like spirit the Mexicans might think proper to display. In the meantime large numbers of emigrants are moving to wards Texas, and the country promises to become, under the new rule, a great cotton-growing country, the coming crop showing a tremendous increase over any former year. In deed the Texan cotton crop has been till now quite a dimi nutive matter; in future, however, she is to rival the old cotton-growing States of the Union, in the quantity and quality of the staple cultivated within her boundary. Oregon and California still continue to receive their share of emigration, notwithstanding the unfavourable accounts lately received of the infertility of those regions. It is now plainly asserted, however, that emigrants can do much better nearer home, that is, not further from the Atlantic than the banks of the Missouri or Mississippi, though, as the taste of the people lies in getting as far from every one else as pos sible, emigration to the " Oregon" will probably still con tinue. The girl Henrietta Blanchard, who made an attempt on the life of one Pettiway, at New Orleans, her seducer, has been liberated without trial, public opinion demanding her immediate release. Pettiway, it appears, had recovered somewhat, and had left the scene of the affair. Green, the man who was on trial at Troy, New York State, when the last packet left, for the deliberate poisoning of his wife, has been found guilty, and sentenced to be exe cuted on the 10th September. The sentence will, no doubt, be carried into effect, notwithstanding the growing objection among the public against capital punishment. The principals in the late anti-rent riots in New York State have been liberated on bale for one thousand dollars each. They were fancifully named " Big Thunder " and Little Thunder." The troubles in that quarter have en tirely subsided. A commission is being fitted out by the United States Government, for the purpose of rescuing several white chil dren, stolen by the Cumanche Indians, and now living in slavery among them. The Cumanches inhabit tracts of land lying beyond the interior boundary of Texas, and are proverbial for their thieving propensities. The Illinois State Government has commenced work again at the Illinois and Michigan Canal, assisted by capitalists in the state. The manufacturing companies of New England have declared their usual half•yearly dividends. From the various reports their affairs appear to be in the most satis factory state. Shares in several of the companies command 50, some 45, 50, 35, &c., per cent. premium. The Pennsylvania papers are rejoicing over the payment of the Pennsylvania dividend. They regard the credit 01 the State as fully re-established. Two-thirds of the interest, it appears, is to be paid in cash, and the other third in cheques to be cashed as soon as funds are received. Stock is quoted 75i and 75. The proprietors of the Fitchburgh Railroad have declared a dividend of 4 per cent. for the past six months, during five of which the railroad has been in full operation. - The electic telegraph en Professor Morse's plan will be in full operation between New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, in the course of two months. The wires are all ready, and will be immediately laid through the streets of New York, on posts twenty feet high. The deaths in New York, for the week ending 21st ult., amounted to no fewer than 474 ! more than 250 above the usual weekly average. Hot weather is stated to be the cause, there being no fewer than 30 cases of coup de soleil, or sun-stroke, besides numerous other cases indirectly proceed ing from the intense heat. The thermometer has stood higher this season in N. I'. than has been known for thirty years, it being up to 104 in the shade on several occasions. The corn crops throughout the length and breadth of the Union, except in Ohio and Michigan, were suffering severely 'rom the intense drought. Cotton is said to look generally pretty well for a more than average crop, though growers were hoping for more rain. Accounts from Matanzas confirm the previous rumour of the great fire at that place. Trade was rather dull. Dates from Port Republicain to the 13th ult. represent the success of the Haytian troops against the Dominicans in glowing colours. The island continued in the same state of anarchy which has convulsed it for the last few years. Great excitement prevailed at Quebec' among the lower orders on the 17th ult., in consequence of a prophecy made by some-insane person, that the remainder of the city would be totally destroyed by fire on that day. Of course no fire oc curred, but the city was in a turmoil for the day. In Montreal, at the latest date, business was rather dull. No transactions to any extent had taken place in flour, and holders seemed inclined to accept rather easier rates. Trade in New York, which experienced rather a shock owing to the great fire, had been resumed pretty briskly, and a large fall in trade is in prospect. The transactions in Cotton during the last fortnight had been rather limited. Rates re main the same. Exchange on London was at 110 to 110 1 %, and very firm at that.

WIND N.N.W., light breezes and fine. of his most Noble father," was called to the chair, on the motion of one of the many political parsons, who, to the disgrace of the cloth, were present, and actively busied on this occasion ; and—as if no cireinnstance of irrit lion and national offensiveness should be wanting to the effect of the clearly illegal processions which had marched to the rendezvous with Orange colours flying, Orange emblems displayed, Orange bands, and all the insignia of Orange Association—it " came off" on the 11th instant, the anniversary of the battle of Aughrim, so fatal to the Irish arms, under St. RUTH, in 1691, and still regarded by the Irish people of that district as a day of traditionary mourning. After an interval of less than ten years, so little is the regard paid to the solemnl y rc corded and often vaunted self-dissolution of the Orange faction and discontinuance of their processions, that at this very gathering it was publicly announced that the most vigorous measures are being taken for the re-estab lishment of the one, and the periodical renewals of the other. So that we have but " scotch'd the snake, not kill'd it." How deeply are such manifestations of unex tinguished party virulence to be deplored by all who have really at heart the welfare of Ireland. And how instructive, though fearful, a commentary do they subpply on the inevitable results of the " Monster Meetings" and reckless agitations of the ultra-advocates of Repeal. That result is—in a word—reaction ; and of that reac tion, the unhappy victim is—the noble country herself, the fiercest passions of whose excitable people are thus appealed to, with equal vehemence, by parties the most diametrically opposed, the one to the other, in their political opinions, objects, and declarations. We are tempted to despair, almost, of the pacification of Ireland when we see how readily these latent embers of com bustion, which we hoped the foot of legislation had some years since crushed into extinction, can be again kindled by the hot breath of reckless partizanship. At the same time we are compelled to acknowledge that it would have been, perhaps, to expect more of human nature—as it exists in ordinary temperaments at least—than human nature is gifted with, tc look fur a perfect abstinence from obtrusive display in one of the two gent sections into which the Irish community is divided, under the species of perpetual challenge and de fiance which are habitually addressed to it by the over boiling zeal and intemperate: enthusiasm of the other. Why cannot the Irish people seriously emulate the ex ample which has, from time to time, been set them by almost every established nation that exists, of merging party or factious objects in an efficient, not a lip-na tionality—in a genuine, not a declamatory, vindication of the equal rights, neither of particular families, nor creeds, nor alliances, nor associations, but of the whole Irish people ? On this side the Channel, no advocate of those rights has looked on at the progress of political agitation on the other with a more sincere desire than ourselves that such agitation might speedily determine in the establishment of that full, fair, and true equality for Ireland which is enjoyed by the other members of the Imperial Union ; nor has taken greater pains to en • force upon public attention and acquiescence the indefea sible character of her claim to that equality. But we must fairly own that we have seen much in the movement and the political manifestos of our Irish friends, little calcu lated to conciliate support or sympathy among their compatriots here; much that has been emphatically ex• pressed in a tone, if it was not conceived in a spirit, of insult to the feelings and the prepossessions of the people of England ; and still more that has been said and done with the worst possible air of intended menace and intimidation in addressing those upon whom the arts of intimidation, or menace were in every respect certain to fail. That which we have long been painfully , anticipating has now actually occurred. The evil spirit of politico-religious faction is abroad again ; and the responsibility of having invoked this display of it will prove far greater, we apprehend, than they imagine who have incurred it. We can find but one excuse for the part assumed by Lord GEORGE LOFTUS on taking the chair at this " demonstration;" and that occurs in the Let announced by himself from the chair—namely, " that he is a rely young Ten." As for the reverend exhibitors on the occasion, they ought to have known better, but we suppose they are incorrigible. If we are to have the High Protestant and the High Roman Catholic factions again throwing the firebrands of civil and religious discord at one another whenever they encounter in Ireland (as where do they not ?);—if we are to have processions with one set of colours and cog nizances marshalled against others with other distinctive emblems ; and arrays of physical force paraded with all the " pomp and circumstance" of organization, in po pulous districts of the country, on fair clays or saints' days, a.collision of parties must ensue, the horror or the event of which no man can foresee. All that has been done towards the holy work of conciliation will speedily be obscured, eradicated, and forgotten ; and the vessel of the Irish State will be fast drifting upon that lee share of political convulsion and social disorganization which she has hitherto so often approached but so often weathered. 'Were Ireland herself bodily launched by some tremendous effort of nature into the centre of the Atlantic Ocean, she would not be farther removed from her present geographical position than the revival of the fatal Orange faction in all its development, together with its inevitable coecemitant, the revival of the immense antagonistic forces opposed to it, would remove her poli tical and moral destiny from the track in which itscourse hould be steadily shaped, in order to arrive at the gcal of her true welfare and her permanent prosperity. We cannot close this article, without expressing our regret at the uncivil and ungenerous treatment to which Mr. THODIA S STEELE appears to have been exposed in the town of Enniskillen. The temper and moderation with which he behaved, under circumstances that would have been irritating to any gentleman, but might have been expected to be especially annoying to an individual in his position, exhibited a combination of becoming spirit and dignified forbearance which leading advocates of all opinions and parties in Ireland might imitate with advantage. Accounts have been received at St. Petersburgh which state that there had been a heavy fall of snow in the Caucasus between the 18th and 25th of June. It is added that the movements of the Russian troops had not been discontinued. The Wurzburgh Gazette states that Queen VICTORIA, on her return from Coburg, will pass a night at Bamberg t:nd Wurzburgh, and that it is probable the King of BAvant.t. will have an interview with her MAJESTY. Letters from Vienna declare that the States of Bunetnia have obtained an extension of their reprcsenta ti‘es of the burgess class, fuurteen towns having been granted the privilege of sending representatives to the l)iet. Madrid papers t 3 the 9th have been received. Ac cording to an official bulletin just received from St. Se babtian, the QUEEN was to quit that place on the 16th for Mondragon, where she was to take the Santa-Agueda waters, and remain till the 25th of August. Her MA JESTY was then to proceed to Bilbao, and thence to Pampeluna, whither the Duke and Duchess DE NEMOURS were expected to arrive on the 4th of September, or thereabouts. Troops had left Madrid on the 6th for the northern provinces. The decree for the convocation of the Cortes is to ap rear in the Gaccta towards the end of the month. The Carlists in the Basque provinces are in high spirits, as a general belief exists there that everything is arranged for the marriage of the Queen and the Count of MONTEMOLIN. Some of them even go so far as to asst rt that it will take place at Pampeluna during a visit of the Due DE NEMOURS. We are not, however, inclined to attach much credit to these rumours. The Basques are in great trepidation as to the fate of their fueros—the Political Chief having of his own proper authority installed the prefecture, an act which is a complete violation of the.fueros. A strung protest has been drawn up against this act and transmitted to the Government. General RONCALI is spoken of as the pro bable successor of General CONCHA in Catalonia. It would appear as if at length it was intended that something should be done for the unfortunate bond holders. The Hcruldo says— " The direction of the Treasury has been ordered to pay something to the active and passive classes of the State creditors. Such events take place so very seldom, that we loudly announce this one, to console and encourage the parties interested, or in order that the rest of the nation may celebrate such a phenomenon. To effect this payment the Minister of Finances has been compelled to apply to the San Fernando Bank, and to entreat it to advance 14,000,000 reels on the c, nsignation of September." The Funds were rather firmer to-day. Three per Cents. rose I for time ; they closed at 30i cash, and 31 at 60 days: 11,000,000 done. Fives, 22 5-16ths at 60 days : 1,000,000 done. Passives, 7 3- 16ths at 60 ' days: 1,000,000 done. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. M G utz,T's speech at Lisieux is the subject of comment in most of them, and La Press!: takes the occasion to draw a most ingenious parallel, after the manner of PLlYrAncif, between M. GUIZOT and M. TRIERS. They all also contain articles on the declaration of war by Mexico against the United States, which none of them seem to regard in a very serious light. From the following, which appears in the Journal des Debuts under the date of Zurich, 10th August, it would appear as if another collision in Switzerland was immi nent : yesterday, the Berne Deputies left Zurich precipitately.

We confess that we %ere hardly prepared for the intelligence we derive from the Dublin Evening Mail, of what is called the Great Protestant Demonstration at Enniskillen. From 12,000 to 14,000 Orangemen are stated to have assembled in the meadows adjacent to the mansion of one of her MAJESTY'S Justices of the Peace, near the town.

RAILWAY TRAFFIC.—The following are the Total Receipts O ( t be ways for the past week—that is to say, up to the date to wluel , _; t e respective returns are made, together with the receipts of the s* week in the previous year : MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 7,000 bales, at previous rates. Shares were heavy, and only a small business was done. The Britannia brings late accounts from the United States as well as from our colonies. There is nothing more said about " war with Mexico," although the Texans had adopted a formal manifesto as to the terms upon which they were willing to annex their country to the United States. It is remarkable that drought had prevailed for some time, and that rain was very much wanted in America, being the reverse of our wants. Nevertheless no positive harm seems to have been done to the crops. The Money market at New York was easy, and Stocks were tolerably firm, though dull. The payment of the interest on the Pennsylvanian Debt would have a good effect. We perceive that railroads were at tracting increased attention among the American capi talists, but we hope parties here will steer clear of any save those projected for our own colonies. The destructive fire at New York is the general theme of conversation among the American merchants. It is most gratifying to notice any private testimony to worth or misfortune, and we are pleased to learn therefore that Mr. Charles Mann, who suffered so severely as the partner of Alderman Johnson, has received from his creditors, in testimony of their esteem, a handsome silver snuff-box, with contents-100 guineas. This is as it should be. The weekly statement of the Bank of England leads us to conclude that among the public generally there is more em ployment for money, while the Bank Directors continue slightly to reduce the circulation. The notes issued were to the amount of 29,141,6051., a decrease of 55,1551. The bullion in both the issue and banking department was 15,669,6541., a diminution of 30,957/. While the public deposits increased 819,404/., the other deposits fell off by 772,434/. The Public Securities have been much the same to •day. Consols realise 99 1 1 i to 99 for present transfer, and 99% to 1 :i for Account. The premium on Exchequer-bills is 495. to 51s. Bank Stock has been 21014, and India Stock is quiet at 270. New Three-and-a Quarter per Cents. are 102 1 1 4 , and the Three per Cents. 99% 34. For the Foreign Bonds in general there is absolutely no inquiry. Mexican Stock has been better on the advices from New York, the Actives realising 35 to 35 1 / 8 , and the De ferred 19 1 4. Peruvian have realised 39 to 39 1 / $ ; Spanish and Portuguese are nominal. Dutch Four per Cents. have been 100 to 100%. For Railway Shares the market is much the same as yes terday, and in respect to some of the lines, as the list an nexed will show, rather weak, the state of affairs at Liver pool, where Bear speculations have "knocked up" several parties, being partially felt here. The French Scrip Shares continue in most request. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) Bank Stock 210 1 /s 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 99% 5/8 ' 3 per Cent.
