TilthJ LOND' )N, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1847. A majority of Whigs in the newly•elected Con gress of the United States affords the more sanguine friends of peace a prospect of witnessing the speedy termination of the hostilities which have so long desolated the plains, and raged among the mountains of Mexico. Whether these expectations will be realised remains to us a problem as inexplicable as the oneness of sentiment which is said to animate the political parties of Washington, but which has never yet manifested itself in their legislative discussions. Ac cording to the phraseology of those who enunciate this pacific aspiration, the Whigs are prepared to bring the war between Mexico and the United States, if possible, to a rapid and amicable conclusion—upon conditions honourable to the American Government I What a modest and feasible basis for a pacifica tion ! What paths of roseleaves for the plenipo tentiaries to traverse ! What fragile and sur mountable barriers to be overcome by the nego tiators of a treaty ! Conditions honourable to the American Government, forsooth ! We should like to know uncommonly what conditions would be regarded by the citizens of the United States as honourable, saving such as would imply the spoliation of Guate mala, the annexation of California, and the indirect subsidization of different provinces of the invaded territories, from Valladolid and Guanaxata to Costa Rica and the northern banks of the Dorados. What would he simple honesty to all impartial speculators in Europe would savour of disgrace and pusillani mity to the " good men and true" of Tennessee and Massachussetts. To every right-thinking observer in England the unconditional evacuation of La Puebla and Vera Cruz would be simple honesty— the compensation, in a monetary as well in a moral and territorial way, of the Mexican Government would be- simple honesty—the acknow ledgment of the original bound iry line between Texas and New Leon would be simple h.,nesty—the reparation of the wanton blood.hed perpetrated in the occupation of Vera Cruz would be simple honesty. The insertion, however, of such clauses in a treaty, signed by the plenipotentiaries of the belligerent republics, would, in the estimation of every United States' man possessed of the most ordinary amount Of national 'cuteness, appear nothing better than the everlasting ignominy of the Govern ment of Washington -- tantamount, in fact, to a national tar-and-feathering. The significa tion therefor of the preliminary conditions honourable to the United States is the postponement of the expected pacification sine die. It is precisely for the prevention of just such conditions as those which would be demanded by the Whig peace makers that Mexico is roused from its habitual torpor, is throwing all its resources into the military chest, is transforming its lazzaroni into guerillas, and accustoming those fingers to the rifle and the sword hilt which have hitherto only handled the dice-box and the cigarette. Ever since ZACHARY TAYLOR —" rough and tough old Zacu," as he calls himself, in the true spirit of Major BAGSTOCK—went sauntering through the Rio Grande, and culling garlands of laurel from heaven knows what but a few straggling regiments, until he seized Monterey, and made himself comfortable for several protracted months of inactivity scandals and misrepresentations have been promulgated respecting the proceedings of the most patriotic defender of Mexico. It is scarcely worthy the consideration of the authors of these erro neous rumours that' one after another they have been glaringly disproved by occurrences—theif spleen is as plentiful as ever, and their im a gi n ation s are as - fruitful. - It cannot be forgotten that when Satays. ,ANNA. escaped from and advanced i)a h sdvanced to 'evade, the vigilance of the: . American vessels block a di ng the coasts of Yucatan and ..Vera a Cruz—there was a positive declaration ustihoat its re turning soldier wa s forsaking h to deliver his native land int o t h e poSsess n ion of its assailants. So prevalent was this report that the Cabinet of Washington was deluded into a most ex travagant credulity—the blockade was wilfully re laze 1 to permit the entrance of the ex-President, and what was the consequence ? Why, so far from the difficulties in the way of the United States being removed by the revival of the traitorous spirit of the Duke of ALBEMARLE, Mexico leapt up in arms, and the war, atter many months of marching, and sweating, and butchering, and strategy, and persistance, is as far, it not farther, from a termination than it was before the overthrow of the authority of HERRERA-. ' Then it was declared that SANTA AN$O. would from religious scruples jeopardi se t h e safety of his native land, and how was that insidious report fulfilled? Heavy sub sidies were raised upon the property of church for the prosecution of the military defences I -'Then again SANTA ANN A wa s ietuatia an-ignoblesolelyty greed of power and a late n t thi rst for peculation The denial of that calumny has b een f ound in the fact that the Dictator of Mexico has pawned his personal and patrimonial estates to obtain supplies for his =on and in his repeated endeavours to relea,a him from the re4onernilitizi of directing the Alnainigra tion, so that his energies might be concentrated . up )n his duties as Comina),der-in-Chief. One by one these imputations have been cast against his character—one by one they have proved most mon strously unfounded. And now a similar insinuation is noised abroad, that the Mexican Dictator is ready to sign a treaty of peace upon almost any conditions, so long as his own individual in. terests are guaranteed. We do not wish, by any means, to paint Don ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANN.& as a man of infallible wisdom, of unstainable reputation, of sublime and preternatural valour, of a supreme and unconquerable genius. Such pic tures we leave to the fantastic eloquence of THOMAS CARLYLE, and the rest of the race of Hero Worship pers. We have no disposition to imbue a single mind with the notion that the man who is at present at the head of affairs in Mexico is a paragon or monster of perfections—civil, warlike, and ministerial. But there is a generous old principle still enforced in the administration of the criminal laws of Great Britain, to the effect that every one should be regarded as in nocent until proved to be guilty. Acting upon this principle, we have raised our solitary voice against the traducers of SANTA ANNA since the moment of his escape from Havannah, or, rather, since the moment when, stepping upon the shores of Mexico, he drew his sword from its scabbard to fight the good fight in the defence of his fatherland. Hitherto our hopes as to his integrity of purpose have - been sig nally fulfilled. Again he is taxed with a guilty con nivance with his antagonists, and, in the absence of testimony to his guilt, we still. continue to regard him as innocent. It is impossible - not to recognise •the origin of all these imputations against the Mexican captain ; namely, that the friends of the invading power are solicitous to abstract in some measure from the European sympathies already aroused in behalf of the aggrieved Republic. If SANTA ANNA prove faithless, then say we, be he covered with per petual infamy, be his name a byeword among the nations. Until then we should remember, with a sanguine enthusiasm, that the Dictator is at this time at the head of thirty-five thousand men on the forti fications of El Pinon—that he is, as it were, at hay under the walls of the capital, under the banners of a Republic, fighting for its independence. - We fear that the example so nobly set by the Mar quis of WATERFORD, and so promptly responded to by the rate-payers of all classes—landlords and tenants—of the electoral division of Rathgormac, is not likely to be extensively followed throughout Ireland. The repudiators and the grumblers are more generally sympathised with by those who find it easier to utter complaints and remonstrances, and to pass long resolutions declaring their inability to repay the Government advances in aid of the rates, than to liquidate it in the manner demanded by the Commissioners. Some are not satisfied with obtaining the extension of time, they have de manded, and the consent of the authorities, that they should for the present, at least, refrain from striking a rate for that purpose (a concession which has been made to the Kilkenny Board of Guardians), but they desire a final settlement of the ques tion. It would appear from the answer sent by the Commissioners to the Enniscorthy board, that the demand has been modified to a certain extent, the Commissioners being satisfied not to insist on a rate being made on any electoral division exceeding 3s. in the pound. The sum to be raised by the collection of such a rate is to be applicable, in the first instance, to the ordinary purposes of the union, so that the re payment is to be made only out of the surplus which may remain after providing for the support and maintenance of the destitute poor within the district, and for all the expenses connected with the work house, &c., incidental to the administration of the law. In every case, however, in which the amount estimated for the repayment of the advances mad the ordinary expenditure do not to gether carry the entire poundage beyond 35., the Commissioners declare that they are not authorised to forego the making of immediate rates for the repay:nent of such advances, and that it is necessary that the guardians should include them in the rate ; and Alley further announce that in the event of the guardians proving contumacious, and refusing to comply with the demand made on them, that the power granted by the 18th section of the Poor-law Act, 10th Vic., c. 31, Kill be resorted to, the pre sent board dissolved, and pail guardians appointed in their place. This, we presume, may be looked upon as the ulti matum of the Commissioners, and the amount of the repayment will be proportioned to the means of the rate-payers. Nothing will be demanded from the poorer districts, where the whole amount of the 3s. rate will be absorbed in the re lief of the poor ; while in those divisions where there is less poverty and distress, where full employment is provided, and improvements taking place, so that a small sum only will be required, the whole amount of the debt due to the national ex chequer will be immediately required. There could be no possible complaint against the justice and equity of this course (which completely gets rid of every allegation that has been made with respect to spoliation, confiscation, inability to pay, &c. were it not for the promises held out in the Legisla• ture by the most itiflu , ntial members of the Govern ment to the effect that of the whole amount ex pended for the relief of the people under the Labour rate Act, and the temporary relief operations by which it was succeeded, one moiety would be borne by the State while thepayment of the remainder would be accepted by easy instalments, spread over a term of years—ten years being the longest period allowed for the full liquidation. The demand now made, that a rate should be struck sufficient to satisfy the full amount, apparently violates these promises, and it is hardly surprising that a people, many of whom are unable to meet their responsibilities even in the most propitious seasons, whose properties are heavily encumbered, so that a small portion. only remains fur the use of the nominal proprietors, should grievously complain of the amount being insisted on so much sooner than they had any reason to anticipate, and that, too, at a time when they have been subjected to a new responsibility, the amount of which it is impossible to calculate with any degree of certainty ; those only who possess unencumbered estates will be able to sustain the ' burden ; the others—and we fear the great majority must sink under the weight; and although such a result might ultimately prove most beneficial for Ireland, her greatest evils being occasioned by the em barrassments of her gentry and landed proprietors, who are thus disabled from effecting valuable im provements and giving due ,encouragement to their tenantry, and employment to the hardy labourers on their estates; yet; if it were occasioned by the operation of the new law, it would, exp ose it to great odium , , 21 . 11 4 . , 2 0 5§ibly lead to an or ganized- opposition thereto. :The breach of pro mise is more- apparent than real, for the C'ommisAoners are prepared to grant dunatiOns, as 10 the Itathgormao case, to the • extent of one moiety, when a certificate has. been obtained that the residue .has been actually paid into the hands of the district treasurer. What rea• , on then is there for insisting on a rate being- struck of double the necessary amount, which may terrify the rate-payers, and per haps induce them to oppose the collection by every means, v.hether legal or illegal. As to the tune within which the payment of the moiety was to be made, it certainly was net specified in the Legis lature, ten years only being mentioned as the extreme Period that could be granted even to the most destitute ; but it was nowhere said that it would be •demanded without any interval being afforded to enable the t p t:awl:l a bote r iin t l l e bue s l ,Aggtabe i le b ytyf l he e eea , wnrr t et , ei , trt r lihe e ,sa c dpt c n , l, v a e c r e d f r oi n during e s t e h r e i o u p s a s d t i ffl y c e t a i i anti o toi f d i o en u ns b ifso t tre t ot h .dn a , t i t it h nt e rnwedililateev Commissioners esanttiusfatille may yxerrecciosen reconsider attbaeui their autho rity. r p i r ty ov . e to be truss be a v ei -Ythinajtadthiceiy"tnB de cision, and that a more conciliatory course may be adopted, so that every reasonable and well-grounded cause of complaint may be removed. • It •Eippears that an outbreak has taken-place in Sicily. The flying sheet of the Corriere. liromese, ,if the sth, says :—" The Ercolano steamer brings word this morning that Messina and Pizzo are in the hands of the people ; and that they have taken pos session of the Bank of the &A- mentioned place." Tna Let'aza covesvadta 'of the ?reg.: say3fDat • • ' " the people of Messina had risen en masse, and oh taMed at first some advantages, but that the troops, having received reinforcements, regained possession of the posts they had lost, and compelled the people to retire." A grand manifestation took place at Leghorn on the sth, in commemoration of the institution of the Civic Guard by the Grand Duke of TUSCANY. Upwards of 10,000 men, preceded by the busts of Pius IX. and LEoroLD 11., decked out with the national colours, traversed the streets by the light of torches, and singing patriotic hymns. All the windows were illuminated and decorated with flags. On the Bth, the festivity of the Holy Virgin, an other popular demonstration was to take place, in which the whole female population, dressed in white and adorned with the national colours—green, white, and red—were to participate. On the 4th the Grand Duke of TUSCANY so lemnly received M. Coanou Bussr, the extraordi nary legate sent by the POPE. Their first interview lasted two hours, after which the Grand Duke im mediately convoked a Cabinet Council, to which he repaired with his Prime Minister, Councillor CEM PINI. Letters from Berne, of the 9th, state that the Federal Diet resolved by a majority of 12 cantons and two half cantons to adjourn to the 18th of Octo ber. The seven-and-a-half cantons of the Sonder bund had moved its dissolution, and Neufchatel and Basle City an adjournment for an indefinite period. The President next communicated to the assembly dispatches from the Governments of •Zug, Unterwal den, Friburg, and Valais, acknowledging the receipt of the decrees of the Diet of fhe 20th of July and the 11th of August, relative to the Sonderbund ; and in which they give their entire adhesion to the prote,t entered into by their Deputies, and reserved all the rights of their respective states. The Diet, subsequently proceeded to replace the three members of the Federal Council of War, Messrs. RUTTIMANN, MAILLARDOZ, and ZEIGLER, who bad been dismissed in consequence of their relations with the Catholic league. The federal colonels, FREI-HEROSE, of Ar gau (a Deputy), RILLIET CONSTANT. of Geneva (a Deputy), and LAVINI, of Ticino (a Deputy), were elected members of the Federal Council of War, by a majority of 12 votes, and declared duly returned. M. FREI-HEROSE was, moreover, appointed Vice- President of the Council, the Presidency belonging by right to M. OCLISENBEIN, as chief of the Di rectory. The accounts from St. Gall were most re-assuring. The ultramontane party was still actively labouring to prevent the deputation from voting coercive mea sures for the dissolution of the Catholic league. But M. WEDER, the only Catholic Councillor of State, who at first appeared opposed to those measures, had ultimately concurred in them, so that a majority in the Grand Council on the Liberal side was then certain. The inhabitants of Basle Country had seized a convoy of gunpowder intended for Lucerne. According to the latest accounts the cholera was rapidly approaching Odessa. Letters from that city, of the 221 ult., state that it had manifested itself at Rostoff, Marianopolis, and other toss is of Southern Ru,sia. At Rostoff, in less than three weeks, it had swept off 2,000 persons out of a population of about 8,000. The invasion of the malady had caused so great a terror, that all communication between Rostoff and Odessa was interrupted, the postmasters along the road having abandoned their establishments. Letters from Oporto of the 7th complain of the vio lence of the military, and the rigour of the conscrip tion, and the attempts made by the Government to overawe the people at the elections. Madrid papers of the 7th have arrived. Previous to the departure of General MANUEL DE LA CONCHA for Catalonia, the assurance which had been previously given to the Catalonian Deputies was reiterated to him, that it was not the intention of the Government to propose any alteration in the tariff on cotton goods. The Duke DE FRIAS was expected to arrive in Madrid on the Bth. Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA and his daughter are about to remove from St. Sebastian to Burgos. It was reported that a sanguinary conflict had taken place at Targa, in Cltalonia, between a detach ment of the QUEEN'S troops and a band of Carli6ts, in which the former had been routed, and put to the sword. MADRID BOLSA, SEPT. 7.—The Three per Cents, were done at 26f for paper, and the Five per Cents. at 17f for cash. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. On Saturday a Cabinet Council was held at St. Cloud, over which the KING presided, and at which MM.. GuizoT and DuctiATEL were present. Queen CHRISTINA, the Duke of RIANZARES (MUNOZ), her husband, and the Marquis of SANTA CRUZ, were at St. Cloud, and remained closeted with the KING and the Duke of MoNTrENSIER up to the moment of the assembling of the Council. During the time the Council remained in delibera tion the Duchesse D'AUMALE was safely delivered of a Prince, on whom the KING immediately conferred the title of Duke of It is said that at this Council the affairs of Spain and of Morocco were considered, and that it was determined to march an army into Morocco, to oppose A 13D-EL- K ADER. The Journal des Debats rails in good set terms at the Lucchese for the manner in which they have accomplished their revolution. The organ of the dynasty of the Barricades gives itself all the airs of the purest " right divine" legitimacy. M. GUIZOT must surely imagine that all the world are as oblivi ous as himself of July, 1830, or he surely would never indulge in such reflections as the following:— " We had hoped that, abandoning for the future their former habits, the Italians would turn their efforts towards legal and peaceable improvements, and that they would never more attempt to extort violently from their Sovereigns concessions which can be dur able only when made with ccmmon accord between the Government and the people. To transfer to the public streets the initiative H hich ought to be re served for the Government—to reduce th e power of the Sovereign to the mere ratification of the proposi tions of a revolted people—would be to open the path of revolution, and to recommence those melan choly attempts the recollection of which ought never to be lost beyond the Alps." Can it be that M. GUIZOT, disgusted with the " sham" of "the best of republics," is about to turn Legitimatist, and set off on another journey, to Ghent. it would really almost seem as if such were the case, for, not only does he protest against " transferring to the public streets the initiative which ought to be reserved for the Government (and according to which doctrine the ordonnances of CHARLES X. were legal), but he actually repudiates the national colour, the tricolor. " On the return of the Duke," says the. Debuts, " all the population (men, women, children, soldiers, students, ecclesiastics) wearing the national colours, assembled in the Great Square to salute the the Commandant in of passing the p lae , b thee w ft e th e residenceltalltalian fl flag :3-thinatulthtitisn- f d a e ct :i s t o tered frenzied cries.Awafrsaihdo,ispterotabltyb significant th in itself, pains to print in capital let should not he sufficiently remarked, th e official journal of Lucca takes ters that this flag so saluted was the Italian flag. Every one knows that this flag bearing the national colours is a tricolour, white, red, and green." We ma y judge from this passage of the respect in which the national tricolour is held by AL GUIZOT and his friends. The Duke DE BROGLIE , paid a visit to Lord N OR . MANDY on Friday. The Duke had, on the same day, a long audience from Queen CHRI S TINA at M a i. !liaison, and on Sunday he was received by the KING at St. Cloud. The visits; of Count APPONY, the Austrian Ambassador, to M. GUIZOT and the KING were frequent. • The National says that every day brings to light fresh instances of corruption on the part - of the Go vernment and its officers. It appears that for some time past the nation has been defrauded to a consider able amount in the supply of coals to the administra tion of the marine at Havre. " We are assured," t 6 National, "-that proofs of this malversation_ are in the hands of the Administratian, but that powerful influences have intervened to put a stop to investigation." The Emancipation says that the curate of Muissac, who was examined at a trial at the assizes - - af- Tarn and Garonne, decl6o4 la his Cideun that ha hal hten threstansd ith a prosecution if he bore hard on the accused, and when asked with what prosecution he was threatened, the curate replied, " One of my neigh bours asked me if I could get his son withdrawn from the conscription. As I had powerful friends, I undertook to do so. The peasant gave me 3001. I gave 2201. to a friend, and returned 80f. to the young man's father. The son was exempted from the conscription, and for this they threatened to pro secute me." If, adds the Emancipation, the Attor ney General had asked this obliging curate the name of the person who received the money, he would have told him without hesitation. The Bank of France is to commence issuing notes of 200 f. on the Ist of October. MARSEILLES, SEPT. B . —Marseilles and Avignon, 580 f. ; Paris and Lyons. 4501.

COSTS.—In this case, in which the bankrupt had carried on business as a hotel keeper at Cromer, Norfolk, Mr. LUCAS applied for the costs of the cre ditors opposing the bankrupt's passing his last examination awl certificate, on the ground of fraudu lent concealment of property. On the last occasion it was stated that the expense had been very great, in consequence of the necessity of having to bring witnesses to town to prove every trifling circum stance, and his Honour then observed that it would be a great saving of expense if evidence could be taken in the country by some competent person. He thought_ it was a case in which the costs ought to be allowed, and he now signed the order. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) A well dressed elderly man, with an enormous pair of whiskers, and a fierce expression of countenance, who gave his name as Captain Allen, and described himself as "an old soldier and a magistrate," was placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine on a charge of drunkenness and disorderly conduct. It appeared that the prisoner arrived at the entrance of the Adelphi Theatre in a cab last night, at about half past eight o'clock. He was very drunk. On getting out of the cab, he tossed with the cabman for sixpence, and lost it. He then went into the theatre, hut, after paying and getting his cheque, he twice fell on the stepi. The policeman on duty, A 162, told him he could not be allowed to go into the boxes in that state, and he insisted on being admitted, de claring that he was an old soldier and a magistrate, and warned the constable to " meddle with him on his peril." The door-keeper having returned his money, he was removed. He refused to leave the door, and became so riotous, that it was necessary to take him in charge. The prisoner vehemently denied the charge, and he called several witnesses who averred that he was perfectly sober at five o : .übject to fits o f " exc i ta b il i ty. " Great 'clock i n t h e a f ternoon, and at eleven o'clock at night (when he was bail e d), b u t w as wer e made th a t th e i nspectors on duty c t h o a m t p h i a e would not suffer him to be bailed earlier, th oug h re in:. peated applications were made. In answer to this evidence, Inspectors Dodd and Black both declared on oath that the prisoner was reeling drunk when at the station. Th a t th ey cou ld not suffer him to be bailed earlier, and that even at the last moment the propriety of liberating him was doubtful, but they considered they were giving him into good hands as his bail were respectable men, and were perfectly sober. The witnesses were severally recalled, and minutely questioned, and all insisted that he was very drunk. Nearly the whole time the prisoner was in the dock he was pointing at the constable and at Mr. Inspector Black, and interruptin g the proceedings by demanding their names When the opportunity of cross-examining the constable was offered him, he exclaimed, with much gesticulation, " Fellow I but that I was unwilling to wrong the laws of my coun try, I would have killed thee with this stick !" Mr. JARDINE—It is very well for you you did nwt. Prisoner—l don't know that ; such a fellow ()tight to he killed. For my part, I never 'was in custody before, except with Napoleon.—(A laugh.) Mr. JARDINE said he had no doubt whatever that the prisoner was drunk. He would fine him 1/. Prisoner—Very well, I'll pay it i • but I must have that f e ll ow 's name (pointing at Mr. Black); I'll bring an action against him. • Nobody, however, seemed willing to infirm him on this point, and he left the court still calling upon some one to "get that fellow's name," as he passed along the passage to the street. THAMES.--(THIS'DAY.) Harvey Boram was charged with ferociously as saultinz an old woman, nearly seventy years - of age, named Ann Evans. . The poor creature, who has been several days in the hospital tinder medical treatment for the injuries she had received, was obliged to be carried into.court. She stated she had known the prisoner for five years, both of them residing in Zion-sqUare,- Rosemary lane. On Friday night last, _as she was going out, she was stopped by the prisoner, who accused her of having told lies, and trade mischief between him and his wife. She denied the charge, and he knocked her down. He then beat her about the head and kicked her dreadfully, until she became insensible. Mary Evans, daughter of the prosecutrix, and a young Woman, named Mary Locke, who witnessed part of the occurrence, corroborated this evidence. For the defenc e , the prisoner contented himself with saying that "he never touched her —he had too much respect for her." Mr. Y ARDLEY said he was a lmost at a loss for terms sufficiently stn g to express his in d ig nation at It.hieL.prisoner's cOndu r c o t. - He should give him the ver y punishment the law allowed him to inflict, and sentenc e d him t o p a y a fine of .51., or two months' imprisonment with hard labour. The fellow was locked up in default. ACCIDENT ON TilE LIMERICK AND WATERFORD LAILWAY.—Last evenin(> (Friday) an accident occurred -c" 1 the Dint-ri c k and W aterfor d R a ilway, by which the patent metal bridge at Ballysimon sustained much damage, but We are happy to state no life was lost. As .the Gleng a ll engine was returning to t hi s c ity fr o m the ballast pits, with twelve unladen waggons ,- the axle of the seco n d l ast on the rail broke, b etween Peafield . bridge and Baliysimon, when it got off the train.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was flat at previous rates. Sales 3,000 bales. In Railway Shares very little was done. We have various arrivals to-day, bu t no: e :Wm at tention in precedence of that from %erica. It is natural to advert, in the first e, to the effect produced by the intelligeno received out of the failures here which commenced early in the month of August. The consegni rice appears to have been an immediate stringency in the money market, a fall in the prices of grain and flour, and an advance in the rates of exchange, all movements antici pated, but yet more to be developed when the further disasters which occurred here become known. We have a hope, notwithstanding, that the mercantile community on the other side of the Atlantic will stand the shock much better than the English houses have done. For a considerable time past the Americans have had the balance of trade in their favour, not only as respects England, but Europe, South America, and other parts, and are therefore the better enabled to endure present losses. As to the value of stocks we are told that there had been a falling off of several per cent, within a fortnight. One writer ob serves that— " There is a vast difference in the position of the United States and England. The prosperity of the former never was greater or healthier, while the latter is almost upon the verge of national bankruptcy. The termer is rapidly progressing in every branch of in dustry, while the latter appears to have reached its culminating point, and is shaking in the wind. The resources of the two nations differ as widely as the eharacters of the people and the geographical location of each. Domestic exchanges are quiet. Bills on Baltimore and Ntw Orleans are at a small premium ; on all other prices at a discount. There is no movement of conse quence in specie, and the supply of current money tiering for redemption is large, showing an activity in business, and large pa 3 ments from the interior." Although we do not attach importance to all the accounts received, of damage to the Cotton crops, we think the subject deserving attention. It is stated:— The . accounts that • now reach us respecting the appearance of the growing crop, are conflicting. From a careful analysis of them, we are persuaded that it is in a very precarious condition, and that its appearance now, is decidedly adverse to a good yield. From some sections we hear that it promises well, whilst in others, they have totally abandoned all hope of making even half a crop. The plant generally looks well. It was pushed forward to an unhealthy degree by the rains in July, but it is large, lung jointed, and sappy ; the forms and squares are telling from the stalks, and it is not in a ptuductive condition. Thus tar we have ,no positive evidence of the appearance of the caterpillar or army worm (the noctua gosypii), whose ravages usually commence the latter part of this month, and continue through the early part of .September, but we have undoubted intelligence of the pre sence of the bore or bull worm—a worm that perfo rates the boll, destroying it entirely. These worms are now at work in the richest cotton lands, in South Alabama, in the Canebrake on Red River, La., and on the bottom lands of South Mississippi, and have also appeared Lear Columbus and Eufala, Georgia. Although not leaving such marks of devastation in the b afless stalks and stripped branches, as manifests the advent of the army-worm, this enemy does its work quite as effectually, and frequently proves more dis astrous. The one takes the cotton by a bold assault, the other adopts mining and other appliances of the siege. Such is the shortness of the time now for the maturity of the crop, that all the cau ses which favourably affect it must co-operate in an eminent degree, in order to ensure an average yield. The early planting on light sandy soil this year looks better than that panted at the ordinary season. and on such sufficent bolls have matured tu cit able planters to hasten forward a few bales to port, fur the credit they gain in their neighbourhood of having made the first bale of the season. In tact, the plant on rich soils is full three weeks behind its appearance last season, and we are dependent on the late planting and undergrowth for the crop, as what is termed the top crop does nut yield enough now for an ordinary pick ing force." From Canada we regret to hear still of a great deal of sickness, and apprehended that next winter will bring severe privations to many. In Mexico the prospect of peace was still doubtful. There has been some speculative business in the Fund 4, and parties began to operate for a rise upon the American news, but sellers have again appeared. and Consols fur October have reached from 874 4 to 864 and 87.

Mr. Kent was superseded i n his 1:11'ee as engine-driver by Mr. Thomas Clarke , in the be' ginning of last April. After Clarke had been the r h e a few days, the boat began to lose speed very He could not account for that loss of spee d, except' arose from the very great escape of stea m from tee " trunnion." This escape of steam arose from ina t " tention to the packing round the joints. were frequent complaints by the captain e e thie change in the speed of the boat. In order to rem this, Clarke, about the middle of April, ti both the levers of the safety valves down. Be 13 , 11 , him tie them down by a piece of span' 3 41-- attached to the ends of the weights, brought down the front of the boiler, and made fast to two nails i n the beam on the larboard side of the vessel. W,h e u ri e so tied it was impossible for the valves to act. - 1 ": valves were in that condition for upwards of a for'' night continually. Occasionally, when alongside the pier, the valves were allowed to be lifted, but never when under weigh. When Clarke's back was turned he had himself frequently, when alongside the piety set the valves at liberty. So soon as Clarke cause would, upon hearing the rush of the steam, tie the valves down again, and reprove him for letting them loose. Witness had frequently cautioned the engin e driver of the danger that would arise from tylo down the valve. Upon such occasion he (wi tness had been told t o mind his own business, for h e knew nothing at all about it." He frequently nib.; served a noise in the boiler, and very frequently in engine would get so but that she could not tekehea her water to condense the steam. The engine, w t he under weigh, never became hot, except whe n aa valves were made fast. He accounted for the eng l oo becoming so hot by the valves being closed' one spoke to the captain on the subject, and u p on daY occasion he told him that there would be ()n e ed in some serious accident if the course was pereev er ,„ tie by Clarke. He never saw any one but ChirTed. down the valves in the manner he ha d descr One Sunday in the month of April lest', ,Vier, the boat was lying alongside the Adel Phi d r t he with about 400 persons on board, he observe noise valves to be fastened as before, and hear d somtine n o o f in the boiler, to which he called the atten sa he Clarke, and begged of him to let the valves got do so, feared there would be danger. He refused t"..,eyer, and witness let them go himself. Clarke, hn"stesta tied them up again immediately. There was % f oe e gauge connected with the machinery , for the FeliZere of showing the pr e ssure of the steam.
