SEYTEXIBER 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! What a modest and feasible basis for a pacifica tion! 'Whit 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 be 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 ledgiaent of the original boundary line between Texas and New Leon would be simple honesty—the reparation of the wanton bloodshed 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 transfor m i ng i ts l azzaroni into guerillas, and accustoming th ose fi ngers 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 ZAcix," as he calls himself, in the true spirit of Major BAGSTOCK—went sauntering through the Ri o 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—their spleen is as plentiful as ever, and their imaginations are as fruitful. It cannot be forgotten that when SANTA ANNA escaped from Hasannah, and advanced to evade the vigilance of the American vessels blockading the coasts of Yucatan and Vera Cruz—there was a positi ve d ec l arat i on t h at the re turning soldier was forsaking his seclusion in Cuba to deliver hi s nat i ve land into the possession of its assailants. So prevalent was this report that the Cabinet of Washi ngton was deluded into a most ex travagant credulity —the blockade was wilfully re laxed to per nit the entrance of the ex-Preside n t, and w hat was the consequen ce ? Why, so f ar 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, alter many months of marching, and sweating, an d butchering, and strategy, and persistance, is as far, if not farther, from a termination than it was before the overthrow of the authority of HERRERA. Then it was declared that SANTA ANNA would from religious scruples jeopardise the safety of his native land, and how was that insidious report fulfilled? Heavy sub sidies were raised upon the property of the church For the prosecution of the military defences ! Then again SANTA ANNA was actuated solely by an ignoble greed of power and a latent thirst for peculation ! The denial of that calumny has been found in the fact that the Dictator of Mexico has pawned his personal and patrimonial estates t o o b ta i n supplies for his army, and in his repeated endeavours to release himself from the responsibilities of directing the A.dministra tion, so that his energies might be concentrated upon his duties as Commander-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 Ds SANTA ANNA 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 bay 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 put pose (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 aad 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 repayment of such advances, and that it is necessary that the guardians should include them in the rate ; and they further announce that in the event 1 of the guardians preying contumacious, and refusing to comply with the demand made on them, that the power granted by the lath section of the Poor-law Act, 14th Vic., c. 31, will be resorted to, the pre sent board dissolved, and paii guardians appointed 1 in their place. This, we presume, may be looked upon as the :da -1 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. &c.), were it not for the promises held out in the Legisla ture by the most influential 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 for the use of the nominal proprietors, should grievously complain of the amount being insisted on so much sooner than they bad 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 gi v i ng d ue encouragemen t t o th e i r tenantry, and employment to the hardy labourers on 1 their estates; yet, if it were occasioned by the operation of the new law, it would expose it to great odium, and r.....ibi r ]ca,l to an or ganized opposition thereto. The breach of pro mise is more apparent than real, for the Commissioners are prepared to grant donations, as in the Rathgormac case, to the extent of one moiety, when a certificate has been obtained that the residue has been actually paid into the hands of th e di str i ct t reas urer. What reason 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, whether legal or illegal. within which the payment of the moiety was o . As to the t tim be e l rn a t a u d r e e , , tenit c 3 e ,e r a t r a s i certainly only beingwas nomt mentioned dd as in t b the e x L t r e e g r a l s e - . period that could be granted even to th e most destitut , e but it was nowhere said that it would be demanded without any interval being afforded to enable the parties liable, to recover from the serious difficulties in which they were placed during the past year, and although there is no doubt that the Commissioners are legally entitled to insist on immediate satisfac tion, we fear that, if enforced, it will eventually prove to be a very injudicious exercise of that autho rity. We tru s t th at they may recons i der t h e i r 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 appears that an outbreak has taken place in Si c ily. The flying sheet of the Corriere Livornese, of 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 first-snentioned place." The Leghorn correspondent of the Presse Gaye that " people of Messina had risen en masse, and oh tainod at first some advantages, but that the troops, having received reinforcements, regained possession of the posts they had ?ost, and compelled the people to re lire." A grani manifestation took place at Leghorn on the • sth, in commemoration of the institution of the Civi c Guard by the Grand Duke of TUSCANY. Upm yards of 10,000 men, preceded by the busts of Pies IX. and LEOPOLD IL, decked out with the national colours, traversed the streets by the light of" torches, and singing patriotic hymns. All the v indows were illuminated and decorated with flags. O'n the Bth, the festivity of the Holy Virgin, an other popular demonstration was to take place, in v rhich the whole female population, dressed in white taxi adorned with the national colours—green, white, :Ind red—were to participate. On the 4th the Grand Duke of TUSCANY So lemnly received M. CORBOLI BCSSI, the extraordi maxy 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- - Letters from Berne, of the 9th, state that the Fcderal Diet resolved by a majority of 12 cantons and two half cantons to adjourn to the 18th of Octo• lam The seven-and-a-half cantons of the Sonder bu nd 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• (len, Friburg, and Valais, acknowledging the receipt 'of the decrees of the Diet of the 20th of July and the 11th of August, relative to the Sonderbund ; and in which they give their entire adhesion to the protest 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 had 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 Lavisr, of Ticino (a Deputy), were elected members of the Federal Council of War, by a majority of 12 votes, and declared duly returned. 31. FREI-HEROSE was, moreover, appointed Vice• President of the Council, the Presidency belonging by right to M. OCHSENBEIN, 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 3eizcd a convoy of gunpowder intended fur Lucerne. According to the latest accounts the cholera was rapidly approaching Odessa. Letters from that city, of the 22d ult., state that it had manifested itself at Rostoff, Marianopolis, and other towns of Sou'ihern Ru-sia. At itostoff, 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 MANUAL 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 bad taken place at Targa, in Catalonia, between a detach ment of the QUEEN'S troops and a band of Cariists, in which the former had been routed, and put to the sword. MADRID BOLSA, SEPT. 7.—The Three per Cents, were done at 26} for paper, and the Five per Cents, at 171 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 DUCHATEL 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 MONTPENSIER 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 GUISE. 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 BD-EL-K AD ER. The Journal des Debuts 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 cLmmon accord between the Government and the people. To tramfer to the public streets the initiative which ought to be re served for the Government—to reduce the 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 th'b " 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. w ere legal), but he actually repudiate% the nat;nn.l - " Q.. of th. Tinlro," mays the Debats," all the population (men, women, children, soldiers, students, ecclesiastics) wearing the national colours, assembled in the Great Square to salute the SOVEREIGN, and in passing before the residence of the Commandant of the place, where the Italian flag was hoisted, the multitude uttered frenzied cries. Afraid, probably, that this fact, so significant in itself, should not be sufficiently remarked, the official journal of Lucca takes pains to print in capital let 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 may judge from this passage of the respect in which the national tricolour is held by M. Gulzoz and his friends. The Duke DE BEOGLIE paid a visit to Lord Ng MAND Y on Friday. The Duke had, on th e same doay a long audience from Queen CHRISTINA at Mal: m aison, and on Sunday he was received by the KING at St. Cloud. The visits of Count APPONT, the Austrian Ambassador, to M. GUIZOT and the Yixo 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," says the National, " that proofs of this malversation are in the hands of the Administration, but that powerful influences have intervened to put a stop to investigation." The Emancipation • , a)s that *.bo curate of Muissac, who was exau,itied at a trial at the assizes of Tarn and Garonne, declared in his evidence that he had been threatened , 4 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 300 f. I gave 220 f. 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.—Marseille• and Avignon, 580 f. ; Penis and Lyons, 450 f.

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.)

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, but, after paying and getting his cheque, he twice fell on the steps. 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 r e f use d t o l eave th e 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'clock in the afternoon, and at eleven o'clock at night (when he was bailed), but that he was subject to fits of "excitability." Great complaints were made that the inspectors on duty would not suffer him to be bailed earlier, though re peated applications were made. In answer to this evidence, Inspectors Dodd and Black both declared on oath that the prisoner was r kwhen at the s t a ti on . Th at t h ey cou l d not to be bailed ear li er and that even at theeeling l suffer him ast dr m anent the prop r i e t y 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 interrupting the proceedings by demanding their names. When the opportunity of cross-examining the constable was offered him, he exclaimed, with much gesticulation, "Fellow ! but that I was unwilling to wrong the laws of my coun try, I would have killed thee with this stick !" Mr. JARDIN E--It is very well for you you did not. Prisoner—l don't know that ; such a fellow ought to be killed. For my part, I never was in custody before, exce pt with Napoleon.—(A laugh.) Mr. JARDINE said he had no doubt whatever that the prisoner was drunk. He would fine him 11. Prisoner—Very well, I'll pay it ; but I must have that fellow's name (pointing at Mr. Black); I'll bring an action against him. Nobody, however, seemed willing to inform 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 old woman, nearly seventy years of age, The poor creature, who has been bebt.aut ‘44+ the hospital under 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 sha was going out, she was stopped by the prisoner, who accused her of having told lies, and made 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 defence, the prisoner contented himself with saying that " ' he never touched her—he had too much respect for her. Mr. YARDLEY said he was almost at a loss for terms sufficiently strong to express his indignation at the prisoner's conduct. He should give him the very highest punishment the law allowed him to inflict, and sente nce d hi m t o pay a fine of 51 . , or tw o months ' imprisonment with hard labour. The fellow was locked up in default. ----‘------_ ACCIDENT ON THE LIMERICK AND WATERFORD RAILwAY--Last evk-ning (Friday) a n accident occurred on the Li mer i c k an d W ater ford Railway, by which the patent nietal b r id ge a t Bally inion sustained much damage, but we are h a ppy to state no life was l o st. As the Glengall engine twelve unladen wagg ons, the axle of ine was returning t o this cit y from the ballast pits, with the second l ast on t h e rail broke, between Peafield bridge and Ballysitoon, when it got off the train.

The damag e susta i ne d i s being made good, and the engine will again travel the line on Monday.—Limerich Chronicle. . . MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. 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 not e claim at tention in precedence of that from •erica. It is natural to advert, in the first e ce, to the effect produced by the intelligeno received out of the failures here which commenced early in the month of August. The consequence 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 dune. For a considerable time pest 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 former is rapidly progressing in every braucn 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 characters of the people and the geographical location of each. " Domestic exchanges are quiet. Bills on Baltimore and New 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 offering for redemption is large, showing an activity in business, and large payments 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, long jointed, and sappy ; the forms and squares are falling from the stalks, and it is not in a productive condition. Thus far 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 boll 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 Entitle, Georgia. Although not leaving such marks of devastation in the leafless 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 causes which tavourab y 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 planted at the oruinary sew.on, and on such sufficent bolls have matured to en able planters to hasten forward a few bales to port, for the credit they gain in their nei, 4 hbourhood of having made the first bale of the season. In tact, the plant on rich soils is toll three weeks behind its appearance last season, and we are dependent on the late planting ann undergrowth for the crop, as what is termed the top crop does not yirid enough now tor an ordinary pick ing force." From Canada we regret to hear still of a great deal of sickness, and it was apprehended that next winter will bring severe privations to many. In Mexico the prospect of peace was still doubtful.

THE LATE STEAid BOAT EXPLOSION. ------ets—___ ADJOURNED INQUEST.—(THIS D. 4-1) The inquest on the bodies of the unfortunate P sons who lost their lives in the recent explosion of one of the boilers of the Cricket, was resumed this morn ing, at 11 o'clock, before Mr. Bedford, the COPOnert in the board-room of St. Martin's Workhouse. a, s it It will be recollected that t he in q uiry Wa journed from Monday week u ntil to -day, in order Gov erralle a that the engineers appointed b y the ! might be enabled to make a survey of the vessel, An frame a report of the result of their investigatiota for the information of the jury. the The proceedings having been opene d with usual formalities, The CoaoNEa said that he b ad nothing t o state 11. tion nti the jury except to request their continued atte._e to the evidence which would be adduced to-day. cora hich believed the examination of the boat had been pleted, with the exception of t esting the iron of w it was constructed. He proposed to take evidence prior to that which had refe rence to the state of the boat. He wished first of all to know whether there would be any obstacle to th e names of the proprietors slightest sAtlo.b objection — ers a , of the boat being put in evidence• half an hour who would be able to depose to h gentleman names of the proprietors on oath. f orm 3 msaaind wthneurr r e not iler e the e Mr. James, the counsel, said, in point of f would perhaps be right for him to state that he ap.: Peered on behalf of Messrs.

He had been accustomed to e,,, e gine-driving in boats ; he drove the engine of the Ant boat, and acted as a stoker at the same WT. During the time that he was employed on board the Cricket, the engine was worked upon the high pres!' sure principle. Mr. Kent, the engineer of the boat; told him it was a high pressure engine, and cautioned him against meddling in any way with the niachiner, in his absence. While he was employed he did not see anything which led him to believe that the en pines an d boilers were not of the best construction; the machinery worked well, and the boat always k i ;I: 0 a u s p e her . speed. Mr. Kent was superseded in his 0 be e as by Mr. Thomas Clarke, beenhe 107._ ginningafe of last April. After Clarke had the; He w days, the boat began to lose speed yell:1111;3 could not account for that loss of speed, excel Wei At " from the very great escape of steam fret ° * t . trunnion." This escape of steam arose from Wars tention to the packing round the joints. T b . e b is were frequent complaints by the captain 0 ;di change in the speed of the boat. In order to rem • d this, Clarke, about the middle of April, ° e l , / both the levers of the safety valves down. ll. es :re him tie them down by a piece of apuni d o wn attached to the ends of the weights, brought jo the front of the boiler, and made fast to two nrl be a the beam on the larboard side of the vessel. T o re e t so tied it was impossible for the valves to act. i .'l„ o valves were in that co ndition for upwards of a '1; 0 id night continually. Occasionally, when alongs of pier, the valves were allowed to be lifted, but OA when under weigh. When Clarke's back WS$ rae'r, he had himself frequently, when alongside rue set the valves at liberty. So soon as Clarke t he would, owns aring the rush of the steam, tie ;a, valves dn ain, and reprove him for letting tbe_wo loose. Witness had frequently ca ution e ed fthe eta °y ntY glf driver of t he danger that would arisrom l down the valve. Upon such occasion he (witae'bo had been told " to mind his own business, for _ b , knew nothing at all about it."
