RRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN The Great Western arrived at - Bristol on the morning of the 15th, in thirteen and a half days from New York, vvirh 152 passengers, and might have had 50 more had there Been room for them. She has brought news eleven days later than the packet ship England, which arrived on the 10th. No material change, either in commercial or poli tical affairs, had taken place in the mean time. Subjoined will be found a communication made to Congress by the President Van Buren, which shows good feeling both on the part of the British and American Governments. It will be seen that a new survey is to lee made by American Commis sioners, and that arty points on which the two Governments cannot agree will be referred to arbitration. Trade remained nearly the same. The crops of grain and cotton were extremely abundant, and the prices consequemtly low. United States Bank Sharos at Philadelphia were at 17n, and rather looking up. The accounts from Canada state that the country was free from disturbances, and that the popularity of the. Governor-General was still increasing. (From the New York Morning Herald.) WEDNESDAY, JULY 1, 1') O'CLOCK, M. NORTH EASTERN BOUNDARY. The following Message was received from the Presi dent of the United States, by Mr. A. Van Buren, his Se cretary : To the Senate— The importaaice of the subject to the tranquility of our country, makes it proper that I should communicate to the Senate, in addition to the infor:ration heretofore trans mitted in reply to their resolution of the 17th of January last, the copy of a letter just received from Mr. Fox, an nouncing the determination of the British Government to consent to the principles of our last propositiou for the settlement of the question of the North-eastern Boundary, with a copy of the answer made to it by the Secretary of State. I cannot doubt that, wi:h the sincere disposition which actuates both Governments to prevent any other than an amicable termination of the controversy, it will be fouud practicable so to arrange the details of a conven tional agreement on the principles alluded to as to affect that ohjoet. The British Commissioners, in their report communi cated by Mr. For, express as opinion that the true line of the treaty of I 783 is materially different from that so long ,contondiod for by Great Britain. The report is altogether rx pa; to in its character, and has not yet, as far as we are informed, been ad,pted by the British Government. It has, however, assumed a form sutlieicatly authentic and important to justify the belief that it is to be used here after by tke Brithh Government in the question of boun dary, and es it differs essentially from the line claimed by the United States, call, for an immediate preparatory exploration and survsy on our part. Washington, June 27. M. VAN BUREN. MIS. FOX TO MR. FORSYTH. Washington, June 22, 1840. The undersigned, her Britannic Majesty's Envoy Ex trat-,rditiary encl . -Minister Plenipotentiary, has the honour to transmit to the Secretary of State of the United States, by order of his Government, the accompanying printed copies of a report and map which have been presented to Majesty's Government by Colon-el Mudge and Mr. Fcatherstonhaugh, the Commissioners employed during five last season to survey the disputed territory. The undersigned is instructed to say, that it will of course have become the duty of her Majesty's Government to lay the said report and map before Parliament, but her Majesty's Government have been desirous, as a mark of courtesy and consideaation towards the Government of the United States, that documents bearing upon a question of so much interest and importance to the two countries, sitoold, in the first instance, be communicated to the Pre .sirtmt. The dooaments had been officially placed in the bands of her Msjesty's Government only a few days pfe aiously the date of the instructions addressed to the un dersigned. tier Msjesty's Government feel an unabated desire to bring the long pending questions connected with the boun sittry between the United States and the British possessions in North America to a final and satisfactory settlement ; being well aware that questions of this nature, as long as they remain open between the two countries, must be the source of frequent irritation on both aides, and are liable nt any moment to lead to events that may endanger the existence of friendly relations. It is obvious that the questions at issue between Great Britain and the United States must be beset with various and really existing difficulties, or else those q ues ti ons wou ld not have remained open ever since the year 17e$3, notwithstanding the frequent and earnest endeavours made by each GovernmentTh bring them to an adjustm en t. B u t her Majesty's Government do not relinquish te poise that the sincere des ire which is felt b y both parties to arrive at ata amicable settlement will at length be attended with Klee egg. best clue to guide the two Governments in their fu- Thetura proceedings may perhaps be obtained by an examina• tion of the cane s past failure, and the most prominent of amongst these causes has certainly been a want of cocrect information as to the topographical and physical character of the district in dispute. This want of adequate information may be traced as one of the difficulties which em barrassed the Netherlands Go vernment in its endeavour s to decide the points submitted to its arbitration in 1830. The same has been felt by the Government in England ; it has been felt and admitted by the Government of the United States, and even by the local Government of the contin uo us state of Maine. The British G overnm ent and c the Government of the United Stas agreed, therefore, two yea rs a g o, that a sur vey, o f the disputed territory, by a joint commission, would be the meas . o best calculated to elucidate a nd solve the .trestion at ise. The P res ident proposed such a com mission, and her Majesty's Government consented to it ; ,and it . was by her Majesty's G overn m e nt that the gener al principles upon which the commission ass to be gui ded, in its loca l . operations, had be e n se t t l e d by mutual agree ment, avnyed at by moans of a mutual correspondence , ithich took place between the two Governments in 1837 and 1838. rctr Majesty's Government accordingly transmitted, in A r i l o f last year, for the consideratiou of the PresidLt , -------. ____ the draft of a convention to regulate the proceedings of 1 the proposed commission . The p reamble of that draft re cited texually the agr.ement that had been come to by means of notes which had been exchanged between the two Governments ; and the articles of the draft were framed, as her Majesty's Government considered, in arid conformity with that agreement. But the Government of the United States did not think proper to assent to the convention so proposed. The United States Government did not indeed allege that the proposed convention was at variance with the re sult of the previous correspondence between the two (3o vernruents ; but it thought that the convention would es tablish a commission of " mere exploration and survey ;" and the President was of opinion that the step next to be taken by the two Governments should be to contract stipu lations bearing upon the face of them the promise of a final settlement, under some form or other, and within a reason- able time. The United States Government accordingly transmitted to the undersigned, for communication to her Majesty's Government, in the month of July last, a counter draft of convention, varying considerably in some parts, as the Sc. cretary of State of the United States admitted in his letter to the undersigned of the •tl9th of July last, from the draft proposed by Great Britain. But the Secretary of State added, that the United States Government did not deem it necessary to comment upon the alterations so made, as the text itself of the counter draft would be found suffi ciently perspicuous. Her Miesty's Government might certainly well have expected that some reasons would have been given to ex plain why the United States Government declined to con firm an arrangement which was founded upon propositions made by that Government itself, and upon mod►fications to which that Government had agreed; or that if the Ame rican Government thought the draft of convection thus proposed was not in conformity with the previons agree ment, it would have pointed out in what respect the two were considered to differ. Her Majesty's Government, considering the present state of the boundary question, concur with the Govern ment of the United States in thinking that it is on every account expedient that the next measure to be adopted by the two Governments should contain arrangements which will necessarily lead to a final settlement; and they think that the convention which they proposed last year to the President, instead of being framed so as to constitute a mere commission of exploration and survey, did, on the contrary, contain certain stipulations calculated to lead to the final ascertainment of the boundary between the two countries. There was, however, undoubtedly one essential diffe rence between the British draft and the American counter draft. The British draft contained no provision embody ing the principle of arbitration ; the American counter draft did contain such a provision. The British draft contained no provision for arbitration, because the principle of arbitration had not been pi oposed on either side during the negotiations upon which that draft was founded ; and because, moreover, it was under stood at that time that the principle of arbitration would be decidedly objected to by the United States. But as the United States Government have now ex pressed a wish to embody the principle of arbitration in the proposed convention, her Majesty's Government are perfectly willingly to accede to that wish. • • • • • • The undersigned is, however, instructed to add that there are matters of detail in the American counter draft, which her Majesty's Government cannot adopt. The un dersigned will be furnished from his Government, by an early opportunity with an amended draft, in conformity with the principles above stated, to be submitted - to the consideration of the President. And the undersigned ex pects to be at the same time furnished with instructions to propose to the Government of the United States a fresh local and temporary convention, for the better prevention of incidental border collisions within the disputed territory, during the time that may be occupied in carrying through the operations of survey or arbitration. The undersigned avails himself of this occasion to renew to the Secretary of State the assurance of his distinguished consideration. H. S. FOX. . _ Te the Hon. John Forsyth, &c. ,IR. FORSYTH TO MR. FOX. Department of State, Washington, 26th June, 1840. The undersigned, Secretary of State of the United States, has had the honour to receive a note, addressed to him on the 22d instant, by Mr. Fox, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of Great Britain, enclosing printed copies of the Report and Map laid before the Bri tish Government by the Commissioners employed during the last season to survey the territory in dispute between the two countries, and commanding her Britannic Majes ty's Government to adhere to the two principles which are the main foundation, &c. Mr. Fox states that his Government might have ex. pected that, when the American counter draft was com municated to him, some reasons would have been given to explain why the United States Government declined ac cepting the British draft of Convention, or that, if it thought the draft was not in conformity with previous agreement, it would have pointed out in what respect the two were considered to differ. In the note which the the undersigned addressed to Mr. Foz on the 29th of July of last year, transmitting the American counter draft. I stated that, in consequence of the then recent events, &c. JOHN FORSYTH H. S. Fox, Esq., &c. &c. The Great Western sails to-day at 1 o'clock, and carries 1 out to England and to Europe, a vast quantity of inter esting news on American affairs—some good—some bad —and some neither the one thing nor the other. Our double sheet to-day contains the best account of all the movements that have taken place in politics, finance, morals, or society, since the sailing of the British Queen. Since the :ailing of the latter vessel, Congress has been making considerable progress in legislation. According to all appearances, that body will pass the Sub-Treasury Bill, and adjourn sometime next month. A very import ant Bill has been passed by the Senate, and is now in the House, on the subject of Bankruptcy--but it is very doubt• ful whether it will pass at the present Session. If it should pass it is calculated to produce as great a revolu- 1 tion in values as the famous Distribution Law and Specie Circular. By throwing $200,000, the assets of voluntary bankrupts, upon the markets, it would cause a fresh fall in all values, and thus increase the number of failures. But it is doubtful whether it will pass or not. Oa the subject of politics, nothing certain is known. Both parties are very ardent, and very confident —but cool, calculating men look upon the result of the contest between Van Buren and Harrison as doubtful. The friends of General Harrison have been getting up splendid con ventions and celebrations. The crops bid fair to be 15 or 20 per cent, more abun dant than last year—but the money affairs of the south are as bad, and es much depressed as ever. Good crops and economy, however, in progress of t;rne, will carry us over our difficulties. CANADA.—The administration of Governor Thomson, so far as we can judge by the tone of the Press, is gaining steadily upon the confidence of the people. lie seems to appreciate the capabilities of the country, as well as the wants of the inhabitants, and the vari• ous enterprises for intern nal improvement arc fsstcrcd and encouraged. The permanent works on the Wel land Canal are in a state of forwardness, and the project of a railroad from the head of Lake Ontario across too the St. Clair River, is under consideration. The adoption of a liberal and enlightened policy GII this a❑d other subjects, will greatly swell the busness of the Upper Province, and enable the St. Lawrence to compete with the Hudson River in the commerce of Lake Erie. The number of emigrants who have arrived in the Pro vinces this year, has been very great, a large portion of them are calculated to make useful citizens. All appre hansions of a rupture on account of the boundary question appear to have subsided, and no fears are entertained at present of any movement on the part of the patriots. The release of M'Kenzie and the escape of Bill Johnson were severely commented upon in some of the papers ; but on the whole, the tone cf public feeling has softened down, and the relations of the inhabitants on both sides of the t!order are generally of an amicable nature. The villanous attempt of Lett and his accomplice to burn the steamer Great Britain at Oswego, produced some terrporary ex asperation of feeling, but it was soon quieted. A regiment of 11 , ghlanders was reviewed at Niagara Falls, a short time since, at which a number of distin guished citizens from the United States, Great Britain, and both Provinces were present. The appearance of the troops was splendid, and the ' festivities of the occasion were enlivened by a magnificent ball given by Lord Mul • grave. The arrival of the steamer Unicorn at Halifax gave oc casion for great manifestations of joy. By the establish of Cunard's line of steamers, the time required fur com munication between Liverpool and Halifax has been diminished at least one-third, and the growth and pro. .perity of Nova Scotia, and the other Provinces must be greatly pror oted thereby. The Western, as we said on Monday, goes crowded with passengers, and there arc about fifty who have been disappointed in securing berths in her. We understand that there are now thirty-two names down on the pas senger list of the British Queen, to sail hence on the Ist of August, and the probability is she will also sail full to the me " brim." She can accommodate 160. MENaco.—This unfortunate country is still torn to pieces with internal convulsions. The struggle between the rival factions of Centralists and Federalists, seems drawing to a close in the eastern section of the country. Campeachy has no doubt sur re n n c d e e o re f d th b e eff u e ca thi ta s n t i i s m i e n , r i t 3 r ( i ) c s l,. in that event, the whole pros' , session of the Federalists. This is a very important de monstration, and may lead to an entire revolution in Mexico. The country is unfitted to a [:publican for m cf Geaernment, and no political movement can promise the degraded and debased inhabitants security to life or pro perty. TEXAS.—The inhabitants of this young Republic are as restless and mercurial as ever. They aro now determined to compel a recognition of their independence by Mexico, or to force that et:wintry into a war. At the last adviecs the whole navy was a Galveston, ready for a hostile cruise along the Me:tican coast, under Commodore Moore. It is, of course, impossible to predict the result with any degree of certainty, but Mexico has no efficient naval force, and it is not impossible that she may acknowledge the independ ence of Texas, and thus get rid of an ugly customev. The Indiana along the south-west border of Texas still continue to be troublesome, aud their depredations about Sea An tonio are quite frequent. President Lamar has lately visiteci several of the most important points in the country, and he was uniformly re ceived with suitable respect. Texas is a country of ineaanstible physical resources, and great capability every way, and nothing hut intestine divisions can stop her onward progress. NEW YORK., INcnEasit CP EgICRATION.—There has been a great in. crease in the living riches of this country this year com pared with last. Since the first day of April, no less than `ICE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1840. 25,000 emigrants have land xl in this city from tho follotr- ! ing ports in Europe : Whence. Cabin. Steerage. Total. 1 Liverpool, 249 15,462 15,711 London, 243 1,080 1,326 Bristol, 192 47 239 Havre, 103 5,171 5,274 Bremen, 21 944 965 Cork, 2 286 288 Glasgow, 2 374 376 Hull, 44 44 Falmouth, 1 194 195 Londonderry, 210 210 Wexford, 53 58 Hamburg, 86 86 Belfast, 2 164 16 Aggregate, 818 24,120 24,938 Each of these has brought something into the country, and the annexed is probably a fair approximation to the total increase of wealth by their arrival. Few of the Irishmen have brought any money in their pockets, and scarcely any clothes on their backs; but otherwise they are a valuable acquisition, and worth $7OO a-piece. With the Germans it is different : they are generally well dressed and clean, and have a small sum of money—and also the Swiss. Of the 25,000, there are— Each worth. Total value.

This has been bill day for the steamship Great Wes tern, which sails to-morrow. The demand has not been sufficient to cause any improvement in the rate of bills on London, Sales have bee►► made at 61 to 71 per cent. premium. The best bills only command the latter rates. The principal transactions have been made at 7 a 71 per cent., or $4 75 a $4 76 the £ sterling. There is very little demand for bills on mercantile account. The prin cipal remittances are for the payment of interests on State and Corporation debts. A convention of ceuntry banks, consisting of both the free banks of the safety fund, is now in Session in Albany on the subject of the new law for the redemption of bills in the city. This law was passed by the influence of the Bank of Commerce clique, backed by the strong safety fund banks, with the design of driving the bills of the weaker free banks from circulation. There is now a great deal of difficulty on the subject of the law. The file banking interest, feeling aggrieved at the law, will use their political influence against the present Administration with whom the law originated. The general sales of stocks that are now made, are not of the slightest importance in themselves ; but are the cause, by their violent fluctuation, of much uneasiness, and have contributed greatly in the past few months, to pro mote a want of confidence. The Board of Brokers have recently prohibited, by a fine, the sales of stocks in the street. 'I hey would be benefited in the end, if they would pass a resolution excluding all gambling stocks from the Board, even although they might at present lose some few commissions.. They should then admit only solid stocks, and State stacks, which will represent actual values, and be beyond the influence of monopolising cliques and cor nercrs. At present the actual sale of State stocks arc rarely repOrted, and ever) diSpOsition is maniTested to Con ceal the trueitate Orthe mitiket, lest it Should effect indi vidual interests in Europe. The fact is, that the demand for the stocks by no means equals the supply, and the rate at which they are sold evinces rather the condition of the money market than the value of the stocks.

The most remarkable cotton year in the history of the country is now dray.ing to its close, after the delivery of a crop 20 per cent. larger than was ever before produced. The following is a table of the receipts, stock, exports, and home consumption, for the last three years : Receipts. Expor a Consumption. Stock. 1840... 2,039,654 ... 1,550,803 ... 151,743 ... 337,108 1839... 1,318,158 ... 909,3±1 ... 197,834 ... 210,988 1838... 1,682.038 .. 1,342,797 ... 130,825 ... 208,316 The system of monopoly on which' the cotton trade was conducted for the last two years Gab been entirely broken up, and the prices of cotton must henceforth depend en tirely upon the demand. The present supply of Cotton is so large that, in the probable course of things, it must exceed the demand for the coming year, even should the crop prove short. Had the crop of last year been let' to its natural action, it would, in a great measure have cor rected the evils which then existed in the market. There was, however, a class of mad speculators, at the head of which was Vincent Nolte, who, led away by the single idea of a short crop, wilfully blinded themselves to the threatening aspect of the money market of the world, the over supply of the previous ye,r, and the glut of manufac tured goods in all the markets of the world, boldly dashed into the minket without capital, inflated prices, drove out prudent dealers, and ultimately failed, amidst the most dis. astrous losses, and involved many of the banks in their ruin. The eff.:ct of the artificial high prices, caused by their operAtions is apparent in the present enormous crops on the one hand and the diminished consumption on the other. The market is nlw in the midst of a reaction. Prices have reached most extraordinary low points. demolition of Brook's monument, and, more recently, by the attempt to blow up the Great Britain, at Oswego, was permitted to make his escape last night, while on his way to the state prison here. For his villaneus attempt upon the steamer he had been tried and sentenced at Oswego to seven years' im prisonment in the state prison, and was on his way thither, in custody of the Sheriff, in one of the railroad cars. When within four miles of the village, and while the train was proceeding at the rate of twenty miles an hour, he sprung from the car, and was suddenly out of sight—it being about ten o'clock. After the lapse of a few minutes, the train was backed, lights were procured, and the passengers made a simultaneous search, but the culpirt could nowhere be found It is supposed that he must have been injured by the fall, as some blood was discovered near the spot where he alighted ; his shoes and cap were also found a short dis tance apart, so that he went off bare-headed, and en his stocking soles. (From the .New York Commercial Inquirer.) The state of our Foreign Exchanges is highly satisfac tory. They are now at about that pitch th a t will neither lead to the exportation or importatio n of specie. The steamer and packets to-morrow , as far as we can learn, will not take out $30,000 in specie. Thera was •.ri abundant supply of bills to-day, and the demand has fallen short of general expectation. The closing rates are—London, 1063 a 107; Paris, 5 30 a 5 281 ; Amsterdam, 393 a 39i ; Hamburgh, 353 a 353 ; Bremen, 77 a 773. These all opened higher yesterday, but purchasers not appearing to the extent anticipated, drawers became anxious to realize, and submitted to a reduction. The amount of business done at the Stock Exchange to-day was moderate. US. Bank closed at 733 —no change. North American Trust advanced materially, say five per cent. from the lowest rate of yesterday. A large amount of their bonds fall due tomorrow, and some appre hensions have been entertained that they would not be promptly met. We are happy to learn, however, that no difficulty will exist and no disappointment be experienced. The stock at the Second Board sold at 313. The following are the rates of Inland Exchange. It l 3 proper we should add that there are plenty of bills and certificates of deposits offering and but few purchasers : Philadelphia, 3 a 33 ; Baltimore, 33 a 33 ; Richmond, 43 a 43; Charleston, 33 a 33 ; Savannah, 73 a 73 ; Augusta, 9 a 91 ; Mobile, 103 a 11 ; New Orleans, 73 a 8; Louisville, 8; Cincinnatti, 7 a 73; St. Louis, 10 ; Floride, 50 a 55.

RUSSELL gave notice that the CHANCELLOR, of the ExcuEQuErt would submit, to-day, a motion on the subject of the Bank of Ireland. Papers relative to national education were ordered to be laid before the Ilouse. Mr. HEATHCOTE has found out the Corn-laws are evaded, by the commercial marme being victualled by bonded corn. As long as those laws are kept up, they will be evaded in a hundred ways ; and we see by a New York paper, which arrived last night, that great quantities of flour and wheat arc going from the United States to Canada and New Bruns wick, to be imported into England as the pro duce of our North American Colonies. No doubt the law will be so evaded, and so it ought to be. We are glad to hear that it is. The landed gentry have no right to expect that a law which goes to starve the people for their benefit, will be obeyed. Mr. LABOUCHERE, in reply to Mr. HEATIICOTE, stated that he did not know what alteration would be made in the French duties on wool till the treaty was concluded. The Lo r d s ' amendments to the_Canada Government Bill were agreed to, an d it was explained that the amendment made by the Duke of WELLINGTON postponing the commencement of the Bill for fifteen months' was only by permission. It does not prevent - the Bill coming into operation before the end of that period as was stated, it only permits th e Mi n i sters to postpone it for so long if they see fit. Tn „ men d men t was made in such a way in the Lo r d s ' t h at th i s po i n t was not before understood. The Affirm a ti ons Bill was read a second time, after a divisio n b y 49 to 43. Plr.

On th e mot i on tolBcommit the Punishment of Death Abolition Bill, the ATTORNEY -GENERAL expressed a hope that the Bill would not be pressed this Session. It would place him in an embarrassing position, as he was zealous in the cause, but the Act of 1837 only came into operation last year, and its effect could not known. He recommended c aution as well as zeal, and as no Bill had been introduced to extend the altera tions to Ireland and Scotland, he thought the measure ought not to be introduced. Mr. KELLY persevered with the Bill, and the House went into Committee. In Committee a proposition to exclude from the operation of the Bill the crime of setting fire to her Majesty's ships was lost by 40 to 30. eo to be taken, w hi c h relating a loan that The cr i me o f rape was a l s o retained in the Bill, afte r a divisi on o f 50 to 4)5. F inally, the Bill passed through Committee unal tered, and t h e R eport is to b e brought up on Wednes day next. Prom what was stated i n the House it Bill t pasper this cen t S . interestssin. Some routi ne b us i ness w as done, though one Bill , seems probableto losocieties, allowing was passed through a Committee, seems not to deserve the name, and at Half-past Twelve the House adjourned. It was to be expected that the mercy extended to [kin ROBERTS by her MAJE . sTY s Ministers would excite the anger of these . who love cruelty and bloodshed. \`'e have already made our readers acquainted with his offence and his punishment. For expressing an opinion hostile, perhaps, to the interests, certainly grating to the arrogance, of the ruling classes, in somewhat strong language, he was sentenced to two years' ignominious imprisonment. His health was seriously injured, and his•life en dangered. His case was brought, by his wife, and by his own petition, before the public and before Parliament, and the result was that Lord NOR MANBY remitted his sentence. For this act of common consideration it is quite natural that the Noble Marquis should be attacked by the party who were offended by the truth spoken by Mr. ROBERTS. It is also quite natural, at least we think so, that amongst the foremost of the Noble Marquis's assailants, and amongst the foremost to condemn this act of mercy, should be a priest of the Church of England. He kelongs to a body of men who having, by a continued prostitution of reli gion to the vilest purposes of self-interest,--making themselves chiefly conspicuous in the land by their exertions to plague, torture, and fleece their fellow citizens,particularly the lower classes—who having by continually neglecting theirduties towards the people, preferring, very generally, to exercise the magis terial to the pastoral office, forfeited the respect and attachment of the people, now seek to preserve their power by coercive, partial, and unwholesome laws. It is quite suitable to the general character of this body, that one of them, falsely called a minister of a religion of peace and charity, should condemn the exercise of mercy in the name of the QUEEN, and should be the advocate of the punish ment which was slowly killing Mr. ROBERTS. We therefore are not at all surprised to find, what ever the public may be, that the Rev. DAVID DANIEL, A. 8., Minister of Bradford, Wilts, has addressed the' ollowing letter to the Marquis of NORMANBY, which, somehow or other, as if the Rev. Gentleman was not inclined to allow his good works to be overlooked by his Tory friends, has found its way into the Tory papers : My Lord Marquis,—lt grieves me Sou should so injudi ciously have exercised the power placed in your hands to liberate criminals incarcerated for some of the deepest crimes of which a subject could be guilty, as to set at liberty the late prisoner Roberts from Fishertou Gaol, to which he had been committed for two years, having been convicted, with others, at the last assizes for Wiltshire, of conspiracy and sedition. Such gaol delivery will not, my Lord, do, I think, in England. I say, nay Lord, I lament your ill judged clemency in the case of Roberts, who was most justly sentenced to but a very slight punishment when com pared. with his effeacp,. An,d pray, observe, .ths man's conduct..o - ri the 7th inst. when your discharge of himiwas sent down by your Secretary., My. 'S:111:"Fliillips; he left 'the - gaol, travelled to Warminster, and instead of proceeding to see his dear disconsolate wife, he must needs come out of his way very considerably into Troubridge, there congregate a mass of Chartists, and thence come to this place, which was beginning to get pacified from the ill effects of last year's Chartism (about three miles distant from Troubridge), with be tween 600 and 700 men, about eleven o'clock at night, to the great and just alarm of many of her Majesty's most loyal subjects in this town ; and, by way of bravado, he and his respectable attendants must needs stop and give three triumphant cheers opposite the house of one of the most respectable Magistrates in this county, who had created their displeasure by his successful and manly oppo sition to their inroads. The mob likewise halted before the house of the chief constab'e, who had been a princi pal witness against Roberts on his trial. These remarks are made, my Lord, by one who laments deeply your ill-advised and ill judged clemency, and de precates the evils likely to arise in this part of the country from its effects. That there may be no chance of subterfuge, mistake, or humbug, I give you, my Lord, my name, address, and profession ; and have the honour to be, my Lord, your very obedient servant, DAVID DANIEL, A. 8., Minister of Bradford,Wilts. The public will admire the good taste as well as the discrimination and loving-kindness of this Mr. DANIEL. To avoid humbug, as he says, he gives his name and address. To show his discrimination he styles Mr. ROBERTS'S offence some of the deepest crimes of which a subject can be guilty, as if being a rich Bishop he had robbed the poor. To illustrate his discrimination it is sufficient to add that the man who was executed on Monday week was a subject, and guilty of a deep crime, and this mercy-hating minister places Mr. ROBERTS and COURVOISIER in the same category. It is, how ever, with clemency that Mr. DANIEL is most wrath, and by denouncing it he shows his loving kindness to a frail brother. He is offended too, at Mr. ROBERTS, on account of his subsequent proceedings. He did not slink away as if he were a thief. The people have neither forgotten nor learned to despise him. The Chartists met him and showed their respect for him They, are not daunted by those ill-judged prosecu tions which have given leaders to the people, have added to their power, and embittered their temper. The people cheered, too, opposite the house cf a respectable Magistrate; and Mr. DANIEL and his friends, who have lost all hold of the people's affections, are naturally alarmed, because the peo ple are not terrified. We are not disposed to plead in favour of any kind of crimes, but we must make our readers aware that it is no more criminal to be a democrat, and a friend to the voluntary system of religion, than to admire a law Church and a Corn-law making Aristocracy. What constitutes Mt. Ro- BERTS'S language criminal in the eyes of those who admire our present form of Government is its influence over multitude. As we have fre quently said, that arises from the peculiar state of their minds ; and if the people are in a condition of deplorable poverty, and filled with discontent, Mr. ROBERTS is far less criminal than the ruling classes. His offence consisted wholly in some, perhaps, ill-timed and strong language, which did, at worst, but apply the match to the train which the Rev. Mr. DANIEL and his like have long and carefully laid. Sir ROBERT PEEL, in his speech on Mr. DUN CONIBE'S late motion, lent some countenance to the notion that an orator is criminal who speaks words which please the multitude and may not please the Tories. In that debate lie made a distinction be tween those who committed overt acts of mischief and those who merely used the press or their tongues to make what the Right Hon. Baronet called exaggerated statements to the people, and he held the latter to be more guilty than the former. But who is to judge of the exaggeration ? The language to which the Tories may apply that epithet the suffering people may think falls short of the truth. We should like to have some criterion, other than party feeling and personal interests, by which to decide, what is proper or improper political lan guage, before we assent to the doctrine that to in form, instruct, or excite the people is more guilty than to commit an outrage. We apprehend that reason and philosophy will require a somewhat deeper investigation into the subject than has been vouchsafed to it by Sir It. PEEL, before they adopt his conclusion, that those who inform the multitude of their wrongs are more guilty than those who wildly and stupidly endeavour by violence to gratify their vengeance. In conclusion, we must say that since the Mar quis of NORMANBY has filled his present situation he has not often given us reason to praise his cle mency. We beg, therefore, to express our gratitude t o him for the present act of mercy. We have no personal interest in it ; we know nothing whatever of Mr. ROBERTS ; but we are convinced that in the pre ' sent state of men's minds, when prescription has been laid aside, and reason has not yet supplied its place, when the whole of political science may be said to have been cast adrift, while the affections of the people are unfortunately, but not without good cause, severed from the institutions of the • country—cruel punishments for political opinions must produce great exasperation, anti will be preg nant with the most frightful evils to society. What can those who punish the lower classes for their Chartism expect, should the multitude, by union, get the upper hand ? be 4. We find in the Morning Advertiser of yester day, a complaint that that paper had been greatly taken to task by The Sun for the course which it has pursued on the Non-Intrusion question. Our Contemporary, who is so ready to charge others with misrepresentation, should be especially care ful to avoid that fault himself. When did we ever take him to task for the course which he has pur sued on the Non-Intrusion question ? Let him point out, if he can, a single allusion to his course, or to a line that he had written on the above question, up to the moment when this charge proceeded from his pen. He cannotamt know that there is not a shadow of truth in his statement, and that it was he who assailed us, not we him, on that question—witness his abusive and unprovoked attacks of Friday and Saturday last. Let him re tract his assertion, and be more guarded in future. Our Contemporary proceeds to justify a charge of inconsistency which he !las brought against the Scottish Dissenters, because, forsooth, they have - . stood aloof from the .Non-Intrusion party in their squabbles about the Veto. Anything more lame in argument, or more mawkish in sentiment, than this justification, it has not been our fortune to meet with for a long , time. The Scottish Dis senters could not, with any consistency, have acted otherwise than they have done. They would have been traitors to religious liberty—they would have betrayed the great cause of pure, unendowed, un protected Christianity, had they tendered assistance to the Non-Intrusionists. In the first place, the advocates of the voluntary system in Scotlar:d, as every one is aware who knows anything about the matter, hpe no bitterer nor more determined opponents than Dr. CHALMERS and his Non•lntrusion clique. What, in fact, was the object of the clamour for public money to build churches, raised by this party some time ago, but to crush Dissent ? That there might be no doubt of their good in tentions towards their Dissenting brethren, they took especial care to plant the Churches built with the funds raised by public contribution directly op posite, or as near as possible, to Dissenting Chapels. The Dissenters,therefore, have good reason to look with suspicion upon the projects of these men, in stead of recklessly embarking in the same bottom with them. Secondly, it is notorious that one of the main and avowed objects of this party is to strengthen the Law-Established Church by their Non-Intru sion schemes. Why, then, should the Dissenters be blamed for not aiding them in upholding•that corrupt system of religion which they consider it a duty to do all in their power to pull down and abolish ? It is surely a little unreasonable to find fault with a man either for not committing suicide, or for not undoing with one hand what he is doing with the other. It is nothing to the purpose to say, as our Con temporary does, that he cannot see how the union between Church and State would be strengthened by the success of the Non-Intrusion project, which he says is almost the same thing as the abolition of patronage. The Scottish Dissenters see it, or think they see it ; and it is peculiarly unfortunate for his argument, that his friends the projectors, who muit..be supposed to know the object and effect of their ossn measures as well as he can do, see it too- r -at least so they say. Both par ties being thus agreed on this important point, what more is :Wanted to vindicate the course pur sued by the, Dissenters ? The' Veto 'Au,- arguels' . our Contemp_orary, al. most thoArprie, thing t ,as. wptitfeirfa g e, and, consequently, the Dissenter's, who profess to regard patronage as a great evil, are, in consistency, bound to help the Church to get rid of it by sup porting the Veto Act. This is the sum and sub stance of his arguments. A more inane piece of sophistry can hardly be conceived. The Veto Act, so far from being synonymous with the abo lition of patronage, is neither more nor less, as we have repeatedly shown, than a cunningly devised scheme for transferring patronage from the laity to the clergy ; but if it were not only almost but altogether synonymous with the abolition of patronage, it, would be the duty of the Dissenters to give it the most strenuous opposition ; and after the admissions which our Contemporary has made, it would he his duty to support them in their op position. He says that were the question at issue, " esta blishments, or no establishments," he " would be found, as heretofore, among the foremost of those who contend for the latter principle." Now that, and that alone, is the question at issue. Dis sent is now a very different thing from what it was a hundred years ago, when the ARESKINES and their followers, those conscientious and noble minded men, seceded from the Church. Then patronage was the great and only question between the Church and the Dissenters. Now it holds a very subordinate rank. The Establishment itself is now the master-grievance. The connection of the Church with the State is regarded, and justly regarded, as the great source of all the corruption and all the evils which contaminate and lay waste the Church of CHRIST. Against it, therefore, all the efforts of the advocates of the voluntary princi ple should be directed, for while the source is pol luted the stream cannot be pure. To abolish patronage, the Dissenters contend, would be to retard the downfall of the Establish ment, for patronage is a canker eating into its heart ; and although it be an evil, it would be poor morality, and still poorer policy, to get rid of a minor evil, if by so doing you strengthen and per petuate an enormously greater evil. No sensible man sets about to patch up an old house if he wishes it to tumble down. The very argument which our Contemporary urges upon the Dissenters as a reason for their assisting in the abolition of patronage—namely, regard for the souls of men— is that which should most strongly induce them to resist it. When our Contemporary asserts that the Dissenters ought to aid in doing away with patron age without looking to the consequences, he ad vances a monstrous absurdity. All men are bound to look to the consequences of their actions, and that man is no Christian, but a fool, who does not weigh well the probable results of any line of action before he determines on its adoption. The habit of constantly iying is said by moral ists to beget an inability to speak the truth. The moral sense becomes so perverted that falsehood is tittered without a motive, as complacently and as gravely as with one. This habit is more the distinguishing characteristic of the Times than of any other journal in the British Empire. It is the misleading journal of Europe. When con victed in the Queen's Bench for a libel the cruel lest punishment the Judge could inflict would be to oblige it, even for one day, to tell the truth. In the shamelessness of its effrontery it happily has no competitor. Of Tory journals it only is dead to all sense of shame. In the dissemination of a falsehood it resorts to no subterfuge. When the 7'imes wants to calumniate a Minis ter, it puts a speech into his mouth which lie never uttered, and astonishes even those whom the falsehood is meant to serve by insisting, in the gravest tone in the world, that they all heard it, and are so many incontioveitible witnesses of its accuracy. To no purpose does the accused expose the falsehood, and appeal to oppo nents incapable of telling a lie in confirmation of his statement. The Times is incredulous, and parades the mistaken generosity of gentlemen at tempting to screen their political adversaries from merited obloquy. An article in the Times of yesterday, on the labours of the late Session of the French Chambers, in which the question of Cra covian independence is introduced in connection with the policy of M. THIERS and Lord PALMER STON, must have suggested the foregoing remarks to every reader to whom the merits of that question and the language of the two Ministers are familiar. One unacquainted with the disgraceful habit of the Times would suppose that no Journal would have the effrontery to misrepresent the language of Ca binet Ministers delivered so recently as on Friday last in the Chamber of Peers in Paris, arid on Monday evening in the British House of Com mons, and, therefore, of easy re f erence t o every person within reach of a newspaper. Mark, how ever, the lying assurance with which the Times pretends to contrast the language of the two Mi nisters, and to give M. THIERS credit for an ho nesty of purpose denied to Lord PALMEItSTON : At the very time w h en th e concurrcnce o f F rance may fairly be presumed to be most frank and secure, our Fo reign Secretary has 'no eyes or ears for aught but Russian lures and' Russian lies ; and when it is most important for us to seek all fitting opportunities of combining with those statesmen who have struggled through good and evil re port to have England on th e i r s id e , those very opportu nities are deliberately sacrificed t o th e baneful influence of Russia herself. Such an opportunity presented itself in relation to Cracow. Within the last week M. Thiers has de clared in the Ch am b er o f P eers hi s d eterm i nat i on to avail himself of every suitable oceasion to renew, in conjunction with England, the protestations and the measures which are so much needed to tight the the caus , eof that opp res _ e d c ity. Lord Palmerston, on not content with having tolerated the enor mous jai - actions of all the provisions of the treaty of Vienna, which made Cracow independent—not content with having retracted his official declaration that a British Consul should the should be sent out four years ago, now actually palliates alaarnip4ble interference of the three Powers, 4 1 1 d, without once adverting to the recent declaration of the French Minister, literally concludes his speech with a sar.. casm on the reiterated protests of the French Chamber is favour of Poland. It is difficult to say whether that speech of Monday night was most remarkable fir its insolent in difference to the ready co•operation 91 France, or for it s disgraceful subserviencyto the suligostionsof that Rwskuuu CORN CROPS AND TRADE. -.- This market is now inactive. rfnere is only a small de mand from the eastward, which is easily supplied from the immense stock in hand. Prices of Gennessee, range front $5 50 to $4 62, but the large quantity of bread stuff in the country must soon reduce them to $4. The demand throughout the country is quite small. Immense shipments abroad have been made, and from Ame rican Ports, on the Lakes into Canada. To Eur:.pe they have nearly cea , ed, in consequence of the favourable ap pearance of the crops there, and the demand therefrom being supplied for the present. To the Canadas, how ever, and to New Brunswick, flour is still going. It is -s -timated that upwards of five hundred thousandbarrels will be our shipments this y car to British North America. Some go higher, even to one million, but the former esti mate is within bounds. Port of this is in ready made flour, and part in grain. From Cleveland alone, about sixty thousand barrels of flour, and six hundred thousand bushels of wheat, equal to one hundred and ten thousand barrels of flour, will go into Canada. A portion of this great supply will find its way to England, at a less duty than if it went hence direct. Another portion will go to the West Indies, and the balance be consumed by the Canadians and the fifteen thousand English troops now stationed north of us. In this State the crops promise well. No complaints have been made at any section. The crops are two weeks earlier than they were last year, and many farmers have already commenced cutting their closer. The crops of wheat, rye, and oats, in New Jersey, look fine, and potatoes are doing well. The growth this year will be large. From Delaware we hear that the crops do not promise abundantly. In Pennsylvania the crops of wheat, rye, and oats will be large. The state of this country generally is at this moment very singular. In all sections of the country there is a perfect stagnation of buainess, while the producing sec tions are groaning beneath enormous crops. The South has delivered a crop of cotton 20 per cent, greater than ever before. The Western country is filled with grain to over flowing, so prodigally has the earth yielded, that to Eu ropeans it must seem incredible. In many parts of Ohio the eye of the traveller will perceive last year's crop of corn remaining stacked upon the fields where it grew, while wheat has been sown around it, and promises a most abundant yield. It is the intention of many of the farmers so situated, to reap the wheat and turn the hogs and e,ittle in upon the corn, there being no prospect for any market for it. Flour has fallen so low, and the markets so dull, united with the imposibility of procuring money, that the flour mills have ceased to work. We mention this to give some idea of the state of things at the West. In the N. England States, which are chiefly manufacturing, the wollen and cotton mills are nearly idle. More than one half of the woollen mills are idle ; both the woollen and co tton trades are so depressed that manufacturers buy very sparingly of the raw materials, and at low prices. While t n treport o commerce, the is ag ricultural, cotton, and manufacturing districts are t centre re o ce f equally Secretary of the Treasur y , showing a falling off of L ea thus situated, dull, Y as New is o vi Y de o n r t k, fro the m t the the market for a me into $5,000,0 00 i n the customs.

E iv AUBURN, N. —scai•E OF LETT, • • THE INCENDIARY, WHO ATTEMPTED TO BLOW UP TILE GREAT BRITAIN.The notorious Lett, who has gained himself an infamous notoriety—first, by the cold-blooded assassination of Captain Fisher ; next, by the wanton EVENING EDITION. e&Tent, M. de Brunow, whose arrival in this country we have more than once denounced as a public calamity. We had thought that the publication of the celebrated Herat and Affghanistan correspondence would have put an end to tl►e repetition of the falsehood that Lord PA LMERSTON has no " eyes or ears for aright but Russian lures." If we re member rightly, we likewise read in the Times since then something about the ignominious dis missal of a certain Greek patriarch at Constanti nople, and the discovery of a Russian conspiracy in Greece and the lonian Islands, which satisfied the bulk of sober Englishmen at least that Lord PALMERSTON does occasionally employ his eyes and ears in a way never suggested by M. DE BRUNOw or Count NESSELRODE, and far from agreeable to the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, the assertion of the Times to the contrary notwithstand ing. But this is. a trifle. Proceed we then to the graver charge. The Times accuses Lord PALMERSTON with concluding his speech " with a sarcasm on the reiterated protests of the French Chamber in favour of Poland." If the expressions of Lord PALMER sTON that deeds, and not vain words, are only worthy of a great nation, and that he would not recommend the barren example of the French • Chamber, be sarcastic, they lack originality, being a mere translation of the rebuke administered by M. - TRIERS, on Friday, to an official predecessor, whom exclusion from office seemed to fire with a sudden zeal for Polish independence. In reality, except. the paragraphs about commerce, and the alarm created among the protecting powers by the revolutions in Belgium, France, Portugal, and Spain; the speech of Lord PALMERSTON, so far a 3 regarded the violation of the independence of Cra cow, and the determination of the Government to lose no opportunit‘ of seeking redress for the Cracovians, was little else than a literal translation of the speech of the French Minister. Where his Lord ship differed with M. TITTERS, it was in holding out to the Poles and Cracovians more definite hopes of strong exertions on behalf of their liber ties. M. THIERS promised nothing but reMon strances; indicating at the same time that they might prove unavailing. Lord PALMERSTON, ou the contrary, refused to entertain a doubt of his re monstrances proving efficacious—thus leaving the way open for the adoption of any course that might promise to be more effectual in the eveut of his present hopes being disappointed. Both Ministers promised to profit all they could by the chapter of accidents, the meaning of which we take to be that, were the Poles to attempt once more to throw off the Russian yoke, they would not be deserted as they were by England and France in 1772 and 1830. `Whatever merit them is due-teeM.

Upon this question there is not an atom of difference in the opinions of the two Minis ters. They hold the same language, and are pre pared to go equal lengths to give it effect. 1 0 fact, never were two Cabinets more entirely agreed upon any question than are the Cabinets of London and Paris respecting the Cracow, or, in a larger and co rrecter sense, the Polish question. We cannot conclude these remarks without ob' serving that there was a time when the lying Oracle of Printing House-square would have remembered that there was no House of Peers in England 0 compel Ministers to give such an explanation re' specting Cracow as the French Chamber of Peen ; exacted from M. TRIERS. The fall of Poland , and the violation of the independence of Cracow , affect not the indolent composure of a British House of Lords. The prostration of free States, under the cloven hoof of despotism is less important in di& eyes than the punishment of some miserable Chartist , who calls in question the divine right of the aristo' cracy to starve and transport the poor at their pleasure. While, therefore, we claim for Lord, PALNIERSTON an equal devotion to the cause 0 L Poland with M. TRIERS, we cannot for a morneol assume for our House of Lords the merit of par' ticipating with the Peers of France, in the detests' Lion with which all honest statesmen and patriots must regard the cruelties which Russian tyran°l has inflicted on all the inhabitan:s of that once great and chivalrous nation. Letters from Constantinople of the 24th ult. nounce the arrival of the Egyptian steamer liadji Bpt at that port on the 22d, in four days from Alexandr' lh having on board SAMI BEY, Private Secretary of g s : lIEMET ALI, ostensibly with congratulat or y l e tters Iv the SULTAN on the birth of his daughter, but rea lly charged with authority to offer the surrender of t h e Turkish fleet to his Highness on condition of recogl ing the sovereignty of the VICEROY over Egypt 1111 ,„ Syria. The SULTAN, however, had b een previoun made acquainted with the r e vo lt i n Sy r i a , an d appearr, in no hurry to grant the VICEROY'S Secr e t ar y an nu ' o f ence. The authorities enforced tho observance quarantine, and as SAMI BEY refused to pl ace his lette • i r in any hand but that of the SULTAN, they were not u e "; livered on the 24th of June. The following paraeT°P uti from the Courrier Francais of Tuesday would lead _ k g to suppose that MEHEMET ALI, becoming serious'', alarmed, made a communication to the French Goer; ment similar to that which he has sinc e d e t er mined o f communicate directly t o th e S ULTAN , i n th e haP° securing the friendly mediation of M. 1 1 HrEes We are assured that the Pacha of Egypt has infr,tni e t M.

These propositions ! cc said to have induced M. Thiers to send M. Eugene Pe rt to Alexandria with rather extensive powers. The revolt in Syria has, in fact, completely disci certed all the plans of MEHEMET ALL The whole the Druses have risen, and with th em t h e b u lk of t h e inhabitants in the cities and pl a i ns , as we ll as in i mountains. This rising was not unprovoked, as, ° , A . dition to the most rigorous exactions, IBRAHIM PAc k had ordered them to pay four years' taxes in a dvaa e. 00 and to send him, besides the r egu l ar m ili t i a , 1 4,13 3 0 conscripts. When the extent of the danger was 11° , 1 , 0 known to the VICEROY he s en t i ns t ant or d er s to . to authorities to suspend the exaction of the impos t ' j. stop the conscription, and to promise a free pardon,a,n4 the abandonment of the measures p7oposed, previ(' the people laid down their arms , an d peacea bl y returned. to their homes.
