FERDINAND, King of Naples, is trifling on the brink of a precipice. It is said that he has a heart of suffi cient susceptibility to overcome the prejudices of his dynastic education, and that the Sovereign of the Two SICILIES is ambitious of being beloved. The conver sation which is reported to have recently taken place between his Neapolitan MaaesTic and the Papal emissary, the Count FERRETTI, indicates that he has some inkling of his most perilous position, and that an insatiable and egotistical thirst for popularity may yet possibly diminish his disinclination to concede to the wish es o f hi s su bj ects —t o th e asp i ra ti ons o f t h ose Reformers who have been hitherto treated as political incendiaries, and as rebels only worthy of perishing by the bullet s of a fusillade, or the axe of the guil lotine. If Faabuiaesn would but open his eyes to the recognition of that sublime truth which is being taught upon the very frontiers of his dominions, namely, that the to a throne is in indestructible th founda tionliberated people ;if he affections of a would the who oy havecon the histories of those crowned personages t h b a e t e placed h in a precisely similar predicament tt, he is himself at this mome*t involved; if he n w w ould but discover the accuracy of the doctrine which maintains that loyalty and patriotism may be ren dered synonymous terms if the Legislature be only conducted with sagacity, th e c h aracter of his reign might even at the eleventh hour be redeemed, and his memory enrolled among those of the most memorable benefactors of humanity. No throne in Christendom tottered more frightfully than that of the Sovereign PONTIFF immediately before the dissolution of GRE.• GOEVICITI. ; and yet from the wise and provident clemency of his successor, that throne was, within a few weeks after his accession, rendered as strong, if not stronger, than any in the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Such has been the extent and sullenness of this alteration at Rome, that those who bearded the Pontificate during the stubb,rn rule of CAPELLARI have bowed the knee in homage before the puissant liberality of FERRETTI. The Marquis AZEGLIO, who spoke so terribly and threat ingly of the decrepitude of the Papal Government to GREGORY, has already become the panegyrist of the Policy introduced into the council•chambers of the Vatican by Pius. Those extraordinary changes should speak with a thrilling eloquence and an imperative logic to the heart and head of FERDINAND. But, in dreaming of the possibility of such a concession of prejudices from a Bourbon Prince, we should be exposing our selves to deserved ridicule ; we should be as ridicu lously sanguine of temperament as though we poured molten brass into a crucible, and expected it to har den into a cake of gold. Louis XVI. is said to have pondered in the clois ters of the Feuillants over the history of JAMES 11., and to have even meditated, as JAMES IL had done before him, over the destiny of CHARLES I. CHARLES X. may have mused in like manner over the narra tions of those . ill starred potentates, upon the eve of that revolution which in three days witnessed the discomfiture of MARMONT and the victory of LA FAYETTE, the accession of Louis PHILIPPE and the dethronement of himself. His last reveries in his cabinet at the Tuileries may have been in reference to the dismal flight in the fishing smack and the ignominious deaths upon the scaffold, inflicted by the block and the guillotine. FERDINAND may delude himself with the notion that his is not the age for the recurrence of any such catastrophe, but so also did CHARLES 1., JAMES 11., LOUIS XVI., and CHARLES X. In 1649, in 1688, in 1793, in 1830, the debasement of those several monarchs may have seemed to themselves equally improbable. The divinity which is supposed to hedge a King blinds him as to the perils reserved by futurity, and when the crisis has arrived he discovers, as a most eloquent historian has recently observed, that his fall is "long, deep, and appalling." FERDINAND of Naples and the Two Sicilies is be traying the same ignorance of the dangers with which he is every day surrounding himself by his obstinacy in retarding the liberation of his subjects. His conduct in reference to PIETRACATELLI, the late President of his Council of Ministers, has displayed in a significant manner the blindness of the SOVEREIGN and the futility of such hopes as would induce us to anticipate the voluntary abandonment of his re pressive policy. LONGOBUCCO must abandon the woods of Calabria, and march his fol lowers in triumph to the gates of the Neapolitan I Palace before FERDINAND will accede to the demands of the population. PIOTINO must emerge from Sila, and threaten the capital from the ruins of Hercula neum before a favourable response will be given to the demands of the insurgents. BoNnomo must annihilate the Royalist troops at Monteleone, before the iron sceptre will fall from the grasp of FERDI-. NAND, and the naked sword from that of STATELLA. And why are these anticipations inevitable ? Be cause the blood of the Bourbons beats in the pulses of the KlNG—the same blood which throbbed in the heart of the great Lours, when he uttered his famous blasphemy against the people retat c'est moil There is a constitutional and dynastic reason, in fact, why FERDINAND should emulate his imperial namesake of Vienna, and forego a glory such as that which has recently been acquired by Ms, by CHARLES ALBERT, and by LEOPOLD. Neapolitan and Calabrian patriots cannot obtain their liberties as readily as the Romans, as bloodlessly as the Tus cans, or as unexpectedly as the Piedmontese. The 8,000,000 of people in the dominions of FERDINAND r cannot so satisfactorily reach forth their hands and find the fetters of ages shattered with the mere wish for their destruction, as 5,000,000 have lately done in the territories of the House of Savoy, as 2,700,000 have done in the Papal States, and as upwards of 1,000,000 have done in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. The emancipation of the Neapolitans and Sicilians is, however, merely postponed; their aspirations must, like those of the 4,700,000 Lombardo-Venetians, be ultimately realised. We yesterday pointed out the general depreciation n the value of property of every description, and the njury to the national credit occasioned by the at tempt to get back a few millions of gold a little sooner than they would return in the ordinary course of trade. It is not the amount that is exported from the country alone that creates the mischief. The very fact that there is a limit beyond which the Bank cannot go, and that it must necessarily contract its issues, whenever the amount of gold lying idle in its coffers is materially reduced, considerably increases the evil. The moment it 'increases the rate of inte rest, or refuses the usual and ordinary accommodation to houses of established credit and reputation, the directors, as it is termed, " putting on the screw," there are numbers of persons ready to follow the I example thus set. 'When a certain degree of pre caution is exhibited in the Leviathan esta blishment whose especial duty it is to regu late the monetary affairs of the country , that precaution is i nvar i a bl y ascr ib ed to alarm, the ' alarm becomes contagious, every one begins to hoard for the coming storm, which the financial operations of the Bank indicate with almost as much certainty as the lowering of the mercury in the barometer forebodes the approaching tempest; the dangers of the crisis are magnified ; each man fears that if he should part with the funds then at his command, although he may not require them at the moment, nor for some time to come, he may not be enabled again to procure them when actually wanted. He prefers the loss he will sustain by locking up his money in his strong box, and relinquishing the certain profit that he would receive for its temporary use, either by lending it to parties of acknowledged solvency, investing it in the purchase of any descrip tion of securities, public or private, or applying it to mercantile or commercial speculations. He contracts all his operations to the very lowest, lest he should be deprived of the means of meeting his own obliga tions, and carrying on his business, on which his future welfare must mainly depend. It is thus that at a time when money becomes more than usually valuable that it is withdrawn from general use, and suffered to remain unproductive. We have already shown that it is only the money in actual circulation that affects the general prosperity of the country, and upholds or deteriorates the prices of every species of commodity, of.every article of merchandise. For all practical purpcses, the gold might as well be exported from our shores, as remain locked up in private hands. There may be abundance of hoarded money, while the money in actual circulation is insufficient for the general wants of the community. The panic, ridicu lous and unfounded as it may be, increases tenfold the difficulties of the period ; and every one who acts on the selfish principle is really doing his utmost to impair the national resources, and to injure the property of his fellow-subjects, acts that may, and frequently do, recoil upon himself with fatal effect The fear of some possible danger leads to a rea calamity. A shocking accident, which occurred on Sunday last, affords a fair illustration of the manner in which the: monetary derangements, the financial difficulties, have been precipitated. A large congregation had assembled at the Wesleyan Association Chapel, Bacnp,lo hear a lady preach ; suddenly a woman in the gallery was beard to scream, as if alarmed for • her personal safety. It was immediately supposed that that part of the chapel was giving way. Every one rushed to the door attempting to escape ; the instinct of self-pre servation rendered each indifferent to everything but his own personal safety. Men, women, and children were strewn upon the ground, trampling on and bruising each other in a frightful manner; the dresses of some were actually torn off, and of others hang ing in tatters from their persons. A man, a woman, and a boy lost their lives in the melancholy trans- action, while very many others were much hurt. On subsequent investigation it was found that there was no real danger, the alarm was perfectly without foundation ; a staple had fallen out knocking against a Pipe, and making a slight noise as of something broken ; a f emale cried out, and the exclamation of a timid woma n l ed to the death of three human beings, and the serious injury of a considerable number. S o it i s with our national resources. A deficient harvest led to beyond the ordinary quantity. The Americans and Russians, who supplied our wants, were not aware of the extraordinary demand that there would be for the produce of their soil, or the increased resources that would be at their disposal in consequence. They did . not, therefore, order a proportionate amount of our manufactures sufficient to liquidate their demands on us. The balance of trade was in their favour, and consequently the surplus was paid in gold. The additional prosperity th u s occasioned - - - would naturally have produ ce d a demand on LONDON, SATU RDA Y - EVENING, their part for extra comforts or luxuries. A greater quantity of our manufactures would be required, the balance of trade Ni uuld be altered. Thanks to our bountiful and abundant harvest, we would not require so much from them, while they would demand a larger quantity at our hands and the departed gold would speedily be re• turned, without any extraordinary exertion on our parts, and without any depreciation of property, if matters were permitted to find their own level. But at this stage of the proceedings our monetary laws interfere, and, like the timid female in the gallery, sound the note of alarm. So much gold has been drawn from the Bank cellars. Everything must be sacrificed to get it back at once ; prices must be forced down to tempt the foreigners to pur chase. True it is, that without any such interposition the foreigners would naturally, come, and readily pay the former, or even still higher rates, in consequence of the increased demand in their own countries, occasioned by the greater wealth of the people; but we cannot wait for that period, they must be stimulated to hasten their movements. True it is, the money will come probably before it is wanted, but we want it violently and immediately, like a spoiled child crying for a toy, and we encounter real evils to avoid imagi nary danger. Each person endeavours to secure himself; sauve qui peut becomes the universal rule of action, and the ruin of some, the serious injury of very many others, is the result of the undue haste to escape. In truth, our present monetary system—a fixed price for gold —an immediately convertible cur rency, is inconsistent with free trade. We are prevented from realising the full benefits of the late measures for the emancipation of our trade and commerce by the odious laws that fetter and restrain our enterprise, and which must be completely reformed ere the nation ca hope for permanent prosperity. A letter from Berne of the sth says : " I send you a short resume of the important news received to-day by the Vorort. Whilst the patriots of the Val de Travers were seizing the four waggons laden with ammunition from the Verrieres, another convoy of seventeen carts entered the Neufchatel territory, at a part in which the people are very much devoted to Prussia, and thus succeeded in arriving at Rochefort, a village situated at two leagues from Neufchatel, on the great road to France. The convoy was still in that locality yesterday morning. It had been . escorted from its arrival on the territory of Neufchatel by a detachment of men, commanded by Captain Houriet, which is a compromising circum stance for the authorities, who proved or tolerated this species of foreign intervention on the Swiss ter ritory. The Federal Directory has also received in formation that ten waggons containing ammu nition, equally destined to the canton of Friburg, had arrived at Pontarlieu in the night of the Bth, and that they were in depot at the Sub-Prefecture. There was one general cry of indignation against the conduct of the French Government in this affair, both in the Doubs and in Switzerland. Dispatches from M. Stockmar, the Federal Commissioner to Neufchatel, were received this evening by the Vorort, but nothing has yet transpired as to their contents. As the Prussian General de Pfuel, Governor of Neufchat e l, recen tl y arr i ve d i n t h e prin cipality, where his presence is always demanded in critical circumstances, it is probably with this foreign statesman that the Federal Commissioner will have to discuss the delicate points of his mission. We are assured in private letters that already very warm worth have been exchanged between them. The Federal Commissioner is a man of firmness as well as of capacity. The Industriel steamer is now perfectly armed, and is commanded by an inhabitant of Vaud, who was formerly an officer in the English navy. Day and night this 'vessel traverses the lake in all directions, and it is seconded by about twenty little vessels, occu pied by carabineers. As, however, the fog is very thick, it is possible that, if the Neufchatel government decides to send off the convoy which is at Rochefort, it may escape the suveillance organized by the popula tions of Vaud. To prevent the convoys of gunpow der from proceeding in the direction of Morat, the government of Vaud has caused artillery to be placed at Suage, a hamlet situated at the opening of the river La Broie, which unites the Lake of Morat to the Lake of Neufchatel. The grand Council of Glaris has, by a vote of 79 to 11 decided to give instruc• tions similar to those of Zurich for the execution of the decrees of the Diet, and it has besides set aside its deputy, M. Blumer, the landarnmann who was cons dered deficient in energy." The steamer Industriel, according to another ac count, has captured a large boat laden with arms for Friburg, and it is said that the authorities of Neuf chatel have promised to sequestrate all arms passing through the territory to the Sonderbund. A letter from Genoa of the ith says— " Th e Sardinian Government has refused the estab lishment of a civic guard, and to take measures for securing the freedom of the press, as required by the committee over which M. Doria preaided, in a peti tion which excited great expectations here. This refusal has caused much coolness in the public feeling towards the Government. For the 2d, the anniver sary of the birth of the King Charles Albert, it was announced that the Theatre of Charles Felix would be illuminated, and that a hymn in honour of the King would be sung. A public demonstration was immediately prepared, and would hare been executed with great enthusiasm ; but the police having doubled the posts, a feeling of dissatisfaction was shown by preserving a dead silence during and after the singing the hymn. The house was crowded, but not a single cheer was uttered. Our saloons are almost exclusively occupied in discussing what has happened to the heir of the Duke of Lucca on passing through Lerici on the 29th ult. The travellers entered the town, and after going to visit the furt and to walk by the sea-side, re-entered their carriage, and proceeded on the road to Massa. This direction at once made known that they were the Prince of Lucca with his wife and mother. A crowd imme diately surrounded the carriage, shouting—" Italy for ever ! ' Lung live Pius IX! ' Tuscany for ever!' The Prince was compelled to salute those who uttered these acclamations. It is said that an inquiry has been instituted as to this species of popular coercion." The Sardinian Government having resolved to fortify Suz,,, a village situated at the foot of Mont Cenis, which forms the head of the great road to Turin, and is considered the key of the mountain, plans have been drawn up by the military engineers, and the works are to commence next spring. A strong garrison is to be established in the place. The Felyineo of Bologna of the 7th states that the Austrians still occupy Ferrara. Madrid journals of the 9th hare arrived. The Gaceta publishes a royal decree, nominating Lieutenant• General Don FRANCISCO SERRANO to the Captain Generaley of Grenada. This may be looked upon as a banishment. It is said that SERRANO soli cited the Governor-Generalship of Cuba, but was refused. His uncle, General DOMINGUEZ, has also been removed from his post of second commandant of the Halberdiers. Another decree directs that Senor CARRAMOLINO, lately named Civil Governor-General of Cantabria, shall return to his functions as Fiscal of the Special Tribunal of the Military Orders. Another names DOR ANGEL GARCIA LOIGORRI, Count of Vista Her mosa, Political Chief of the province of Madrid, and, ad interim, Alcalde-Corregidor of the capital. LI GORRI was Under-Secretary at War during the period of NARVAEZ'S first Ministry, and was considered as his most confidential agent and partisan, Another names the Marquis of SOMORUELOS Royal Councillor in Ordinary; and Don JOSE SOLER Y ESPINOSA Po litical Chief of Valencia. General RONCALI has been nominated Captain- General of New Castile, in the room of General MENDEZ VIGO. PIDAL has returned to Madrid. The Popular makes a statement which will be received with surprise, and for which probably there is no foundation—it is, that it was asserted that General ESPARTERO was about to be nominated Spanish Ambassador in London ! The same journal states that it was considered certain that General PRIM was to be appointed Captain-General of Porto Rice. It is determined, it is sail, to remove General CONCHA from the Captain-Generalship of Catalonia. The Eco del Comercio declares that the Afran cesado party is engaged in conspiracies in the army, the provinces, Madrid, and even in the highest cir cles, to create disturbances, so as to disgust the QUEEN with the throne. The apptntment of the Countess DE MoNTrao as Camarera Mayor is said to have been made by General Nanvarz, in the hope that she will obtain an influence over the QUEEN sufficient to coun teract th a t o f two ladies of liberal opinions attached to her M AJESTY ' S person.

MADRID BOLSA, OCT. 9.---The Three per Cents. were done at 271, at fifty days; the Five per Cents. at 17i for paper ; the Debt without Interest, at 51 for.cash. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. Count APPONY, the Austrian Ambassador, com municated to M. GUIZOT on Tuesday the note of Prince METTERNICH on Italian affairs, and on the same day forwarded a copy to London for presenta tion to Lord PALRIERSTON. The ordinances opening large supplementary cre dits, to the Minister of Foreign Affairs are loudly condemned in these journals. The Presse says— " The Minister of Foreign Affairs could not be more prodigal of supplementary credits for expenses of travelling, of couriers, and extraordinary missions, if France were overgorged with money, and M. Dumon certain of obtaining his loan at a rate much higher than the last, contracted by M. Lacave La plagne (84f. 75c.) A royal ordonnance inserted in the Moniteur opens to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, for the service of 1846, a supplementary credit of 255,000 f. for expenses of travelling, cou riers, and extraordinary missions. From what we know of certain missions, the service of 1847 will not be less extended than that of 1846." The Union Monarchique has the follossing:— " The quarters of an hour of Rabelais become daily more and more frequent with the Administra tion of the 29th of October. Since France was pro claimed to be rich enough to pay for her glory, M. Guizot sets no bounds to his prodigality. Ile draws at sight upon the public treasury without the least consideration or advice, with all the thoughtlessness, all the magnificence of a son of a high and rich family emancipated from all control. Thus it is that the Moniteur publishes divers ordonnances opening to the Minister extraordinary credits for the moderate sum of 966,000 f., which may be called a million ab sorbed by M. Guizot. It is to be observed that the expenses of journeys, couriers, and extraordinary missions, form the greater part of these allotments. In other words, M. Guizot sends in his little account of miscellaneous expenses in his glorious diplomatic campaigns at Monte Video, Madrid, and elsewhere. This is rather dear, whatever may be thought of it. 'We shall wait the approaching session to learn whe ther the Chamber is as liberal as the Minister in the item of diplomatic expenses. Ile will have to submit these charges to the most strict examination and control ; and he will, above all, have to ask himself on the subject of Spain, and the delightful victory gained by M. de Glucksberg at Madrid, whether France is rich enough to pay fur his mystifications." It is said that Louis PHILIPPE himself personally managed the negotiation with SERRANO for the resto ration of NARVAEZ to power, through the intervention of, the :puke of GI.UCKSBERG, without the know ledge of either the Ministers or of Queen CHRISTINA Galignanis Messenger gives the following account of the trick that was played to induce it to contradict the reports of CHRISTINA'S departure, which were circulated on Saturday : " The National has an article on Spain which is exceedingly curious. We give it as we find it; but it is right to observe that the statement respecting General Serrano does not coincide with the account given in the Madrid Gazette of his appointment to the post of Captain-General of Grenada. Even that, however, is a sort of confirmation of the assertion of the National, that he has consented to withdraw from all direct connexion with the Palace. As to the statement respecting the departure of Queen Chris tina, we have been -informed, on inquiring at her house in the Rue de Courcelles, that she did leave on Saturday with her husband, and without suite. Only three days ago, when it was announced by one of our Contemporaries that the Queen had quitted Paris, we stated that it was untrue. We did this with the full conviction of the correctness of our statement, for it was the result of an inquiry merle at the house, where a positive assurance was given that she was still there, and we saw nothing to indicate that any deception was practised. It appears, how ever, that the reply made to our inquiry was inten tionally false, and that every means, even to leaving the guard at the door, which is supposed to be mounted only when the Queen is at Paris, was adopted to con-, ceal her departure." The National says— `. Our reader; who take an interest in the joys of the innocent Isabella, will be grieved with us at two pieces of intelligence which we have to an nounce. Maria Christina is at Madrid, and Ser rano has quitted it! The ex Regent left Paris (fl Saturday morning, taking with her only Munoz and a confidential servant. She travelled with extreme rapidity, and was at Bordeaux on Sunday evening, preserving the strictest incognito. All this mystery was intended to elude the surveillance of the English Embassy, and to prevent the news of her journey arriving at Madrid before her. She has thus avoided the' chances of a counter-order, and has prepared for her daughter a surprise which, no doubt, will be by no means an exceedingly agree able one. Narvaez alone was in the secret, for he had prepared the way: for this return, by obtaining from Serrano a promise to withdraw fr om p u bli c affairs. On what conditions has the latter given his consent ? And what compen sa ti ons did h e demand for the sacrifice of a position which he no longer considered exceedingly solid ? On this point, matters are related of a most wonderful generosity. The government of Cuba was pro posed to Serrano, but he preferred fortune, and a repose became necessary after so glorious a campaign, to that distant exile. He may hav e crosse d Ch r i st i na on her way, for it is in 'mice, the report goes, that our hero has decided to pass his holidays. Isabella's holidays are over, and the poor Queen is now about to behold around her the troubles and an noyances of those tiresome political matters which she had taken such a disgust to. Capital projects of sermonising are attributed to Christina. She reckons on the all-powerful influence which she formerly exercised over her daughter, to lead her back to the virt uous p a th o f the M o d era d o party. I t b le y gi l t i i e na r a c t o e u a n ff se e l o s ti a n n n d , a e n x d am o p f le is said that we are to behold a new edition, revised and amended, of the marriage of last year. Our Cabinet is about to do over again what has been so maliciously undone by Mr. Bulvver. Will it obtain this reconciliation of the royal couple ? For that, Engla n d w ithd raw . W e n P a a v q ,n u a o tr m on u g st d s n h n o successand will crown the at tempt on the one hand, an England th e o th er par t y w ill consent to it. Besides, if the p resence o f Q ueen Christina does not resolve a ll difficulties, another journey is in prepar ation her e f rom which marvels t are expected. The Duke de M on t pens i er, i t is said, doubts s forth,h at is to proceed to Madrid, and is to declare solemnly before the assembled Cortes that he renounces all claim to the throne—of Franc e . Af ter that, if Lord Palmerston be not satisfied, it must be because he is justly represented as a man without mercy, a faithless busy -body, and an enemy of the family !" The Presse says —" 11- DE BACOURT is appointed Ambassador from France to the Court of Spain. This nomination has been made under the same in fluence that, in 1842, decided the selection of Mr. BULWER. This similarity dispenses with our making any reflection upon this nomination." Lord BROUGHAM has arrived in Paris, and alighted at the ll6tel Meurice. The Union Monarchique says—•` We learn from good authority that an offer of the Peerage has been several times made to the Duke D'lsLy, who has somewhat rudely declined the honour, reserving his independence for the next session. M. TRIERS is greatly in favour of the opinion of the Duke D'lsLy, who highly disapprove s of the nomination of the Duke D'AUMALE to the post of Governor-General of Algeria." The editor of the Courrier Francais was sentenced on Wednesday, by the Court of Assizes of Paris, to six months' imprisonment, and 6,000 francs fine, for copying from the Independance, a Brussels journal, a libel on M.

CTOBER 16, 1847. A3l F! If CA , AKidVAL 131{1.1Ala (EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.) (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY, SIX O'CLOCK, A M. The royal mail steam-ship Britannia, Captain Han. rison, arrived in the Mersey this morning. She sailed from Boston on her regular day, October 1, and brings one week's later news from all parts of the United States, besides .accounts from Canada to the time when she left Halifax. The Hibernia had ar rived out at Boston, and the Cambria was met by the Britannia when about half-way across the Atlantic. There is not any news of importance. Nothing fur ther had been heard from Mexico. A New York paper of September 30, says— " Accounts from Tampico to the sth of September speak of letters from the capital, which had been re ceived there, with some of the articles of the treaty then under negotiation. Santa Ary a's government or commissioners had offered to recognise the boun daries of Texas as claimed by the United States, the latter to restore California and all the cities, towns, forts, and territories held by their forces, except the city of Matamoras (whence the Mexican army issued to begin the war), the latter to be separated from the Mexican territory by a canal for that purpose, Our latest dates are : From Mexico, August 29 ; Vera Cruz, Sept. 5 ; Tampico, Sept. 5 ; Matamoras, Sept. 10; Sante Fe, Aug. 11. Reinforcements are being thrown forward to General Scott by way of Vera Cruz, and a permanent arrangement is being completed for opening and keeping open the road from Vera Cruz to the capital. A force of Texan Rangers is to be employed in this service. General Paredes has put himself at the head of a respectable Mexican force, with which he was marching upon the capital, in violation of the armistice, to put down Santa Anna. An opinion gains ground in the United States that the movements of Santa Anna's domestic enemies may lead to an alliance between him and General Scott. Santa Anna has a native army of about thirty thousand men. Santa Fe is almost evacuated by the American forces, their term of service having expired. Rumours were current at Vera Cruz, on the sth, that Paredes had arrived at the City of Mexico and imprisoned Santa Anna. The Washington Union has advices from Vera Cruz, which speak confidently of an early peace with the Mexican Government. The Vera Cruz correspondent of the New York Sun states that the British Minister was making ar rangements to forward a semi-monthly mail from Mexico via New Orleans, New York, and Boston, by the Cunard steamers. An American steamer leaves Vera Cruz on the Ist and 15th of each month, ar riving at New Orleans in time for the mail to reach the next steamer leaving Boston for Liverpool. By this route the distance between the city of Mexico and London can be travelled in from twenty-five to thirty days. The papers now to hand contain numerous letters, &c., from the United States army in Mexico; but they mention nothing of importance, or what is worthy of notice. Respecting commercial intelligence one of the New York papers says : The two failures on the Stock Exchange, noticed in our last, have been followed by a rapid deprecia tion of the shares in which the parties had speculated. With this excq)tion there has been no interruption to our prosperity. Money is abundant, the foreign exchanges rule in favour of the United States, and everything indicates a sound condition of monetary affairs. Four and Grain Marke.ts—Since our review of his day week there has been a very slight decline in flour and grain, but the fall does not exceed six cents. per barrel on the former, and two cents. per bushel on the latter. Indian corn is in better demand, owing to the limited receipts, and our quotations show an advance during the week of three to four cents. per bushel. Cotton Market—This market is without change. Prices rule the sam3 as on this day week, but they are feebly supported. Subjoined is the latest state of the markets at New York The Foreign bill market is well supplied with good bills, which command the following rates . On England, 1084 ; Paris, sf. 25c. a 4f. 284 e. ; Am. sterdam, 39f a 391 ; Hamburgh, 353- a 351 ; Bre men, 781. a 79. The system of banking pursued by our city banks is found to press heavily upon local manufacturers, merchants, and mechanics. To obtain discounts it is necessary for the dealer to have a large balance constantly in the bank, so that the interest which he pays indirectly generally amounts to double the rates established by law. But there are few men in ordi nary business able to pay this heavy tax. Their pro fits do not warrant it. They find it more economi cal to club together and establish banks for themselves in different parts of the State, under the general law. They thus obtain greater facilities, are enabled to ex • tend their business and furnish employment to larger numbers of working people. The whole community thus reap the advantages of the Free Banking Law. The banks of this city and Albany, with the aid of Comptroller Flagg, would abolish this system — would compel the free banks to supply two capitals, and redeem their bills at two or three points, each some hundred miles from the other. We trust the Legislature will lend itself to no such scheme. If the banks of this city and Albany wish to do a legi timate business, instead of fostering stock and land speculators, they have only to grant facilities to honest men in active business, and thus remove that pressing necessity which is calling these free banks into existence. They having nothing to gain by in trigue with Comptroller Flagg, or any other state officer. No Government aid can free them from subjection to the laws of trade. If they cannot do a profitable business without exacting twelve or fourteen per cent. per annum from their dealers, their management is _ either too expensive or too corrupt to be safe for their stockholders. Another measure of Flagg's hostility toward the free banks is the tax law which he has submitted to the Legislature. In this, however, if we are not misinformed, he proves faithless to some of his bank friends in this city, whose interests he had pledged himself to sustain. His Albany banks may have forced him into this exhibition of "panic faith." We shall soon know how far the Legislature has been in fluenced by these banks. The Boston Transcript has the October dividends of the banks in that city ; the per tentage generally is much larger than on the previous year. The average dividends of all the banks is over 3 per ant., and the excess in amount, over last April, is over 35,000 dolls. The advantages of domestic manufactures are dis cussed in the southern newspapers. An appeal is made by the Macon Journal for the establishment of manufacturing companies in that part of Georgia. The south has the superiority over the north in proximity to the raw material ; and the southern states also possess more agricultural wealth than the northern, as appears by the following returns from the census of 1840 : New England States. Corn 11,943,000 bush. Wheat .. 2,898,000 " Potatoes 20,581,000 " Rye Oats 11,247,000 " Buckwheat 1,097,000 Tennessee and Georgia 83,585,000 bush, 9,911,000 " 3,792,000 " 448,000 " 9,548,000 " 50,343,000 bush. 107,194,000 bush. In addition to this, Georgia and Tennessee produce annually about fifteen millions pounds of rice, and probably three millions of sweet potatoes, none of which are raised in New England. They also have, according to the census of 1840, 1,906,851 neat cattle, and 4,484,362 swine ; whereas the six New England states have but 1,545,273 neat cattle, and only 748,698 swine. Thus showing that while these two southern states have a little over half the population of New England, they have more than double the capacity to feed them. In many parts of Georgia and Tennessee, opera tives can live for less than one-half of what it would cost them at Lowell, or any other of the great manu facturing cities of New England. The only obstacle to the advancement of the southern states is their want of enterprise and the degrading position in which the labourer, the operative, and the mechanic are placed in those states. In New England labour is honour able. In Tennessee and Georgia the labourer is dis franchised, and public opinion looks down upon him. Here is the secret of the difference between northern and southern manufacturers. NEW YORK, SEPT. 29, P.M. Ashes—There is a moderate business doing owing to the small receipts. The sales are some 120 barrels. Pots, at 5 dolls. 50c. to 5 dolls. 561 c., and a small lot reported at 5 dolls. 52kc. Limited sales of pearls at 7 dolls., at which the market is firm. Cotton—There is a disposition on the part of the holders to realize; the market is in favour of the buyers, with sales of 2,000 bales. Flour, &c.—The market opened firm, and at rather better prices, caused by the report of a bad break on the canal, near Little Falls, which, however, proved t o h i. , on ly ternn o r, r y, !'ilt 9 ' .

Grain-We notice a good demand for new Southern Wheat, of which there is but litte here; no sales of any kind transpired to- c l a y ; buyers hold off for lower prices. Rye is nominally the same as yes terday, but little demand and only limited receipts. Corn is in active demand ; the sales are limited, be • cause of the light supply; the report of a break in the canal rather stiffened the market in the early part of the day, and sales were made of some 8,000 bushels mixed at at 66c. to 67c. ; 7,000 do. flat yellow at 68c. to 69c., together with a lot of 2,500 bushels yellow at 70c , delivered ; also 3,500 bushels New Orleans, from store, slightly heated, at 65c. Oats continue saleable at 51e. to 53c. by the cargo, and 54c. to 55c., at retail; the receipts are to a fair extent. Buckwheat-We notice that new is becoming more plenty, and commands 2 dolls. 62c. to 2 dolls. 75c. for 1001bs ; in bbls. it brings 5 dolls. to 2 dolls. 25c.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY MORNING. Last night his Worship, the Mayor, entertained a select party at the Town-hall. The ht uests sat down at seven o'clock, and among them were :—Lord San don, Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Wm. Brown, M.P., Mr. Cardwell, M.P., Mr. Thornely, M.P., Mr. William Jackson, M.P., Colonel Falconer, Captain Evans Captain Bevis, Mr. Rushton, Mr. Bramley Moore: the Town-clerk, Mr. C. Lawrence, Mr. James Law rence, Mr. W. Earle, Mr. H. Earle, Mr. R. Earle, Mr. Gibson, Mr. Baines, Mr. Cortazzie, Mr. Sands, Mr. S. Holme, Mr. A. Lace, Mr. Langton, Mr. D. Campbell, Mr. H. Littledale, Mr. Neilson, Rev. W. Connybeare, Mr. Grant, Mr. T. B. Horsfall, and Mr. Nichol. On the cloth being withdrawn, the usual loyal toasts were given, and received with applause of more than wonted intensity.' The MAYOR then proposed the " Army and Navy," coupling with the toast the names of Colonel Faulkner, to whom his Worship paid a high compliment for in defatigable zeal in his military connexion with the district, and of Captain Bevis, R.N. Colonel FAULKNER briefly and happily responded, expressing the pleasure and satisfaction he had derived in his intercourse in the discharge of his duties with this municipality. Captain EVANS, R.N., as the senior post captain, returned thanks on the part of the navy, and de clared that, though peace at present happily pre vailed, should occasion require, the "wooden walls of Old England" would he found as serviceable and invulnerable as in the fighting days of Nelson and Collingwood.—(Applause.) " The Bishop arid Clergy of the Diocese" was then given, with which his Worship coupled the name of a respected relative then at the table, and of Mr. Cony beare, Principal of the Collegiate Institution. The Rev. CHARLES LAWRENCE acknowledged the compliment. Although, he observed, the peculiar duty which clergymen were called upon to discharge involved (necessarily attendant upon the spiritual office) dangers and difficulties, and annoyances of a trying nature, yet in hig opinion, an occasion like the present, with its concommitant gratifications, was full and ample compensation, inasmuch as it brought to the clergymen the conviction that they were sup ported by the opinions of good men, and the appro. bation of the society for which they laboured. The MAYOR then gave " The Lord Lieutenant of the county." He again rose in a few minutes, and proposed " The health of Lord Sandon, late M.P. for the Borough." They would all be -delighted, he said, more especially there, to drink the health of a nobleman long known to many of them, who, for sixteen years, in five successive Parliaments, had honourably and usefully (with honour to him self and advantage to his country) represented this borough. It certainly could not be asserted, even of Lord Sandon, that in that long period of time, in every vicissitude of the political world, he had invariably, and on all occasions, given satisfaction to the whole body of his constituents, yet no one had ever attempted to deny that to the majority he had given satisfaction, and that universally he had won many times admiration, and always respect. Every one admitted the Noble Lord's honesty, integrity, and earnest desire to promote, by every means in his power, the prosperity of all classes in the commu nity; and he therefore called upon them to drink his health with three times three.—(Loud applause.) The toast was drunk accordingly. Lord SANDON rose to respond, and was greeted heartily on presenting himself. The Noble Lord, after alluding in a very impressive manner to the origin of his connexion with Liverpool, and to the results which had ensued his career as representative of the town, spoke of the honour which he had always considered the representation of so important a town had conferred upon him, expressing an opinion that the pride with which he had always accepted the trust must be deemed justifiable when it was remembered who were the men who formerly, in more stirring times, had been returned to Parliament as Members for Liverpool. One of his predecessors in the office it would be sufficient to say had been the illustrious Huskisson, and he frankly confessed, expecting that the merit would be at least accorded to him of having adopted the best possible model, that it had always been his aim and ambition to tread in the footsteps of that very remarkable man. —(Applause). He responded entirely to all the ob servations which had been made by the Mayor. It was his conviction that England owed still a de. debt of gratitude to William Huskisson. He had en deavoured, wisely and cautiously, at the same time firmly and fairly, to free commerce from its fetters, to facilitate the trade of the world, and to render the interchange of nations as unrestricted as the best in terests of humanity demanded. Lord Sandon then en tered into a variety of statistics of a very interesting character, throwing some new light on the immensity of the progress of the port of Liverpool, since the date of his first connexion with it, with regard both to the population and the dock and corporate reve nues, demonstrating the flourishing condition of the commerce flowing into the estuary of the Mersey, and verifying some observations previously made by the mayor in respect to the enormous responsibility in evitably entailed upon those who accepted the repre sentation of the borough of Liverpool. In proportion to the increase of Liverpool in power and wealth, he said would there be expected from its representatives increased diligence and incessant care ; and it was to him a matter of the most profound satisfaction to be assured that, generally speaking, his late constituents had not found him wanting in the due discharge of the duties he had undertaken to perform.—(Ap plause). After some further remarks, the Noble Lord concluded by returning thanks for the hearty manner in which his health had been received, and sat down amid loud applause. The MAYOR then gave, what might be considered the toast of the evening, " The health of Sir Robert Peel," highly eulogising the public conduct of the Right Hors. Baronet, and acknowledging the services he had rendered to the British empire during the pe riods which he had held office. The toast, he said, had peculiar interest, not only because of the promi nent position of Sir Robert Peel, but because he had that day kindly consented to be present on raising the statue of one of the most distinguished of his col leagues in a former Administration, to the pedestal prepared for it in front of the Custom• house. It was, said the Mayor, exceedingly appropriate that Six E. Peel should have arrived in Liverpool on that partial- ing honour to one to vvionn it v:ch ; as the peculiar glory and pride of Sir It. Peel to have followed out, consummatt d, and completed the policy which Mr. Huskisson had so advantageously origi nated.—(Loud cheers.) Sir It. PEEL, in returning thanks, said that when, some weeks ago, the worshipful the mayor, trans mitted to him an invitation to be present at that dinner, he had gladly and gratefully accepted i*-- first, because the opportunity was thus afforded him of forming a personal intimacy with a family whom he had long respected, and of which the mayor was a member; secondly, because it would be in his power, in that way, to evince his high estimatio n of the town of Liverpool, in the person of its chief officer; and, thirdly, it was with him an object to make him self thoroughly acquainted with some of the secrets and details of this great commercial community—the greatest, probably, that the world knew—and of ad miring the energy and enterprise, the vigour and skill, by which the estuary of the Mersey had been fitted for the reception of the commerce of the world. The Right Honourable Baronet, at great length, dilated upon the solicitude with which he had always regarded the affairs of Liverpool, con vinced, as he had always been, that the success of this port must reflect the prosperity of the country. —(Cheers.) There were other reasons why he should always have examined with some interest the rise of the port to its present paramount importance. He was unconnected with Liverpool by any local ties, but with the county of Lancashire he claimed a long and close connexion—all the wealth and status of his family being attributable to that very fortunate cir cumstance.—(Cheers.) It was long since he had last visited Liverpool, and the occasion was memorable. That day, fixed for the opening of the railway to Manchester, commenced in joy and triumph, and, by a most melancholy event, closed in lamentation and woe. On that day a fatal accident befel the illustri ous statesman to whom the mayor had alluded— with whom it had been his (Sir Robert Peel's) happiness for many years of his life, to be in habits of constant and intimate friendship— with whom he had acted as a colleague in the service of the Crown—and for whose views, knowledge, and virtues he had always entertained a most profound regard.—(Applause.) It was to him a source of great gratification that he had been present on a monument being raised in Liver pool to the memory of Mr. Huskisson. Having complimented Mr. Gibson, the artist, on the admirable execution of the work, he said that he regretted that his pleasure in visiting Liverpool had been somewhat lessened by finding that at this moment there existed considerable embarrassment amongst commercial elasses.—(Hear, hear.) Into the causes, or supposed causes of those sufferings, it would not be expected he should then enter, nor was it indeed the time to speculate upon the remedies there could be found for the prevailing depression.—(Hear, hear.) This alone he might be permitted to remark, that no one enter tained a greater desire than he did to alleviate most effectually the present state of commercial affairs.-- (Applause.) After some observations of a similar character, claiming no specific notice, the Right Hon. Baronet concluded by thanking the company for the honour they had done him, and sat down amid loud applause. The MAYOR then gave " The health of the Mem bers for the county.' Mr. WILSON PATTEN, M.P., and Mr. W. BROWIc M.P., severally returned thanks, each gentleman de claring that it would always be his wish to act as if the prosperity of Liverpool, and of the county in which Liverpool was situated, were one and the same. Lord SANDON then proposed the health of the Mayor. It was to him a subject of congratulation that his connexion with Liverpool had secured for him the tried friendship of Mr. George Hall Law rence, a gentleman whom he had known in many relations of life, and who, as he could testify, had in all endeared himself to every one who had enjoyed the pleasure of hi s acqua i ntance. —(Applause) The MAYOR briefly responded, and then gave, " The Members for the Borough," explaining that Sir Thomas Birch had been prevented attending by the necessity of remaining on the Continent. Mr. CARDWELL, M.P., for himself and his Hon. Colleague, returned thanks. No exertion, he could assure his worship and the company, would be want ing, either on his part or on that of Sir Thomas Birch, to discharge the duties devolving upon them as repre sentatives of the great interests of this community. The MAYOR then, in a highly complimentary speech, called upon his guests to drink to the health of Mr. R. V. Yates. He spoke of that gentleman as a citizen to whom Liverpool would be permanently indebted for the munificent manner in which he had provided pleasure-grounds for the recreation of the inhabitants of this over-crowded town. Mr e lAroesLrievsepondedhumeoir earliest rously,r eco md convenience, recommending the peop Y e f rpool, at th to take advantage of th e p resen t h e h ad made them, by building houses in the neighbourhood. The health of Mr. Gibson was next proposed, as the sculptor of the statue of Huskisson. The name of that great man (Mr. Lawrence said) was as sociated with the highest triumphs in modern art, and in no work had he done himself greater credit than in that which had been liberally presented to the town as a lasting memorial by the esteemed relict of the great statesman. - Mr. GIBSON said, I hope my vanity will not be in creased by the encomiums which the Mayor has been pleased to pass upon my works, but I trust that his praises and your approbation will stimulate me to ac complish greater things. I return you my very best thanks for the honour you have done me. The health of Sir Howard Douglas, who was not present, having been drunk, The MAYOR gave the health of Mr. Thornely, M.P. for Wolverhampton, commenting upon the eagerness that gentleman always evinced to promote the inte rests of his native town. Mr. TRORNELY observed that it would always be his endeavour to second the efforts of Liverpool men and Liverpool representatives. He trusted that the trying circumstances under which the community was at present labouring would speedily disappear, and he hoped, if mistakes had been made by merchants who had over traded, or by the great monetary esta- - blishment which had not managed affairs with the very best discretion, that, when the present storm had subsided, both parties would learn a lesson from their errors, and be in a position to make their expe rience serviceable.—(Hear, hear.) The last toast proposed was " The Commerce of the Mersey—Liverpool and Birkenhead," with which was coupled the health of William Jackson, Esq., M.P., for Newcastle. Mr. JACKSON, in responding, very pointedly ob served that, although the river Mersey had two sides, there was but one interest concerned.—(Hea r , hear.) The success of th e one pDr t would enili sane the pros perity of the :other, and jealousy or fear of one dis tancing the other was altogether absurd and out of P• lace The same object w as h e ld i n v i ew by both, and he sincerely hoped that they would both pursue perhaps, conjointly, the same great ends. The company shortly afterwards broke up. BANKRUPTCY. —(T EIIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.) IN RE BEWLEY.

The official assignee reported that; of the debts, 6501. had been realised, and there was little doubt that almost all the rest would shortly be recovered by the assignees, and the property had fetched the amount stated, which would, after paying the ex penses of the fiat, and a dividend of 203. in the pound to his creditors, leave a balance to the bankrupt of about 6001. His HONOUR said this case was very different from those which generally came before the Court. The bankrupt deserved great commendation, for he had proved himself an honest man, and he (the Learned Commissioner) had no doubt his conduct was high], approved by the creditors. The solicitor to the assignees said they fully con curred in what had fallen from his Honour; it was to be regretted that the fiat should have issued in such a state of affairs.
