THE SPORTSMAN'S THREE WISHES The sportsman has wishes—we name them—they're three, With the truth of this version you all will agree: Now September's set in, most nobly we'll strive, To keep the old custom of shooting alive. The game is abundant, the weather is clear, Bright Phoebus commands all her guests to appear; But sportsman, before you depart for the fan, Obtain your three wishes—your Coat, Dog, and Gtui, The first in the field L. HYAM now stands, For his " Paletot Shooting-coat," known in all lands ; Enveloped in these, it soon will be found, That the wind and the rain fall powerless around. For warmth, style, and freedom, none such can be got, Just wear one—you soon wil be reckoned a " shot." Then sportsmen of England, appreciate well, One who pleases so much, and who strives to excel Fer that is the cause why the journals express Such very great faith in his prime shooting dress. Fulfil then your wishes—your pleasures complete, By a call at the Mart, 36, Graceckurch-street. The stock is unvaried, you can't lack success, In equipping yourself in a " good Shooting Dress."

The stock o.n hand is reduced very low for the season---viz., 1,329 pots, and 549 pearls, and it is too late for large supplies to be received. There is every appearame that the season will close with a less stock than ever has been known. Coal—Foreign is in demand, and is selling 1 dollar advance; sales of Pictou sit 7 do ll ars - 3i / cents. ; Liverpool, 10 dollars. Cotton—Operators are all waiting for the arriv al of the stea mer . A decline of a full cent. has taken place, and the market is at A stand.

The shipment from uthern to northern ports are 2,828 bales less this season than last; but there is an excess in stock of 54,454 bales. Dry Goods—The fall trade is drawing to a close, and there is less business doing this week than last. The stock at market is, however, getting small. There is also but little doing in domestics, either for home or foreign markets. Nearly all descriptions are lower; sheetings and shirtings 2 to 3 per cent. lower. Bleached are firm; prints are very lew. The manu factories of cotton at the present high price of the raw materials are doing a losing business, Woollens are doing better, and all low qualities are wanted. Flour—Without any demand for shipment, or any accounts from Europe, the article has gone up half a dollar on a barrel. The demand has been active for domestic purposes, and the supply small for the season.

Corn has advanced full sc. ; sales of 100,000 bushels west ern and northern yellow at 70c. to 73c. ; rye has ad vanced to 86c. ' - no sales of barley ; oats ar e d own t o 46c. to 48c. The receipts down the Hudson since the opening of river navigation to yesterday are, of wheat 1,471,004 bushels; corn 3,148,782 bushels ; rye 232,935 bushels. Export from Ist to 12th of October, corn 849 bushels ; wheat 7,420 bushels. Provisions—Pork is decidedly dull; prime, 10 dolls. 50c. ; and mess, 14 dolls. 50c.; Dutchess County, 16 dolls.; sales of new beef at Bto 12. The stock of old is small ; Ohio lard, 9 to 111 cents. Both butter and cheese are wanted, the latter for shipment at 6fc to 73-c. Rice—The market is dull and declining ; sales at 3 dolls. 871-c. to 4 dolls. 75c. Tobacco—The demand continues fair. We notice sales of from 200 to 300 hhds. of Kentucky and Virginia, at from 3c. to Tic. ; with some selections at higher rates ; 350 bales Cuba, part for export, were disposed of on private terms. Wool—The market this week has not been so animated as noticed heretofore ; notwithstanding sales are light, prices remain ;,without change; about 20,0001 b. fleece and pulled have been sold at 28c. to 45c., according to quality ; also 14 bales Mexican on terms not transpired. Money—lt is truly surprising how little effect has been produced here by the failures, scarcity of money, and embarrassments in England. The largest bankers have gone down there, and yet only two or three firms have been seriously touched in this country. Formerly the indebtedness and connexion on this side were so intimate and close, that whenever a revulsion took place in England it was most severely felt here. Our position is changed. We are rich and indepen dent, and the power and strength is in this country. The last year's distress in England has thrown this country over 50,000,000 of additional money, which has gone principally into the hands of our farmers. This large sum, so widely and generally spread, has given great individual strength. There is a demand for money for stock operators, and for persons who are large borrowers, to keep up the price ofTrreaall sury notes and G overnmen t S ecur iti es; butfo the legitimate b us i ness o f th e c ity money most are i s small ; abundant. The o ff er i ngs at the banks and good paper is taken freely cent. l The last in and out of bank at 6, and at the highest 7 p year's businessthas been not only regular, but profit able;ry other class, have gone into wild speculations. neither merchants, nor_ Things have taken a regular and natural channe l , if it will be singular under this state of things "fthere should be any conv u l s i on in trade. The Governm ent will be the great bor rowers—there is no hope for them ; th e y are so deep i the war, that even if closed in any reasonable time vast sums must be wanted. There is nothing to blight or mar the prospects of the future but the Mexican war, and that it must be admitted is and will be the cause of great embarrassment. EXCHANGES.—Foreign The bill-market is de cidedly lower than it was by the last packet. Buyers are so particular that they seek for those bills drawn by banks ; consequently the few drawers have a mo nopoly, and are enabled to get 109 to 1091. Good bills ,of private drawers are abundant at 108 to 109. There begins to be some appearance that there will be an export of grain to a considerable extent; en gagements are made for corn. SPECIE.—There is some demand for silver to go to Havre, but more for a feeling of security than for profit. FRElGHTS.—Foreign—Freights are slack both to France and England. Shippers of cotton are wait ing for the arrival of the steamer, now momentarily expected. No. 17,192.] LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING S Ny OCTOBER 29, 347.

LISBON, OCT. 22.—The Howe, 120, Captain Sir James Stirling, has just anchored off Belem Castle. The whole of Sir Charles Napier's squadron was under way to receive the Queen Dowagor, who was on board. The ships were formed into tw , , lines off Belem, when the Howe passed througla them, the ships and castles saluting the Royal standard, which was flying from her main. The - 11 - owe will proceed with the lQueen Dowager to Madeira on the 26th. Mr. Biddlecombe, Master of thes flag-ship St. Vin cent, was selected to pilot the Howe into the Tagus, and will take her out again whe n she leaves for Ma deira. This officer has been o, Lieutenant Commander l 4tside the la s t wee k i n the Jackal iron stea m - vesse l, Western, surveying the entrance to the Tagus. The Vixen arrived three days since from England, with. the Duke of Palmella and suite and Mr. Percy Doyle, the new Minister to Mexico. PORTSMOUTII,THURSDAT.—Arrangements were this day made in this dockyard, following out the plans of Colonel Jebb, the Surveyor-Gerierallof Pri sons, for the separation of the convicts from the free labourers in the establishment in future. Conse quently their working sheds, and, other matters con nected with their work, have been removed to situa tions where no communion can 'take place. In future they will labour entirely separate from the respect able artisans of the yard. A quantity of stores was put on board the Amphion this morning by the Echo steamer, and at eleven o'clock A.M. that ship weighed anchor, and proceeded round the Knab light, under steam only. As this was the first time the Portsmouth people had seen her under steam, considerable interest was manifested, and her progress narrowly watched. On her first starting she appeared to make very slow progress, but she soon gathered way, and appeared to round the light vessel in a comparatively short time. But on turning to proceed westward her speed apparently slackened, and as long as she was in view she progressed at a slow pace. The cause of this seemingly anomalous move ment was the tide, which was strong flood, and ac celerated her speed as far as the Knab, whil e i t equally retarded it afterwards. The weath er was eminently favourable for her, the wind being exceed ingly light, and the water, in consequence, as smooth as a mill-pond. The Hecate steam-sloop, Commander Moorman, anchored at Spithead this afternoon. She will remain here but a very short time after receiving " advance," which will most likely be paidher crew to-morrow. We drop this hint for the benefit of all who may have letters, &c., to send out to Sir Charles Napier's fleet, for she goes direct to the Tagus with supernumeraries and dispatches. The Myrmidon iron steam- vessel, Lieutenant- Commander Roberts, was removed from the basin to. day and the Lightning taken in. Wind S.W. by W., light breezes; weather cloudy with drizzling fine rain, 5 P.M. WOOLWICH, OCT. 28.—The African steam- vessel arrived at Woolwich to-day with boys from the flag ship at Sheerness, to serve in the Blazer steam-vessel, commissioned here by Commander Smith. The Speedwell, formerly tender to the Blazer, has been commissioned to serve independent of the latter vessel, and left Woolwich yesterday for Harwich, under the command of Edward K. Calver, formerly master to the Blazer. The Fisgard, 42 guns, Commodore Sir Gordon Bremer, K.C.B. and K.O H., has been taken out of dock and into the basin, and her bulwarks have been taken down that the vessel may be thoroughly cleansed after returning from a foreign station. The Justitia convict ship is to be moored about 100 yards further up the river than her present station, opposite the Royal Arsenal, to place her in a safer position than she is at present, owing to her proximity to the butt in the Royal Arsenal, where the testing of guns takes place. A channel is to be cut on the river side to allow of her removal without her being taken into the middle of the river. SUICIDE OF A CITY MERCHANT.—Yesterday Mr. Payne, the coroner for the city of London, received in formation of the death of John Henry Deffell, Esq., who committed suicide under the following extraordi nary circumstances : The deceased gentleman, who was in the 70th year of his age, was a merchant, and had offices in Billiter court, City, whilst his residence was in Upper Harley-street. He had recently, from some unaccountable cause, been exceedingly despondent, and between ten and eleven o'clock ho left home yesterday morning to go to his chambers, and when he arrived in Whitecross-street he entered a chemist's shop, and asked in Latin for some prussic acid, giving his name as Dr. Bendel]. Tho shopman, not having the slightest sus picion, from the rational and plausible manner of the question, immediately got down from the shelf the prussic acid bottle, which the deceased seized directly and drank off a quantity. An alarm was raised, and the parties in the shop tried to secure him, but he managed to run out as far as 108, Fore-street (a baker's shop), where a surgeon was called in, and the unfortu nate gentleman removed to the Cripplegate Dispensary. Every effort was made to expel the poison, but the de ceased expir e d i n a few minutes. The Journal du Havrc publishes a report from Captain Brisson, commanding the French trader the Sultan, complaining that his vessel was illegally de famed for twenty-five d a y s b e f ore V era C ruz b y American cruisers, and his crew ill-treated. MEETING OF PARLIAMENT. From e T.) Parliament h as ( bee the n summoned to meet for the dispatch of business on the 18th of November, when, it is understood, after the formalities which usher in a new House, Ministers will immediately ask a legislative sanction for their late measure. The public press does not usually show much anxiety for the commencement of a session, or much concern at its close. In this instance, however, we should think there will be a tolerable unanimity as to the wisdom and even the necessity of convening the Legislature at the earliest possible date. Three weeks are quite long enough for so considerable a burden to remain on the shoulders of the Executive; but te wait three whole months for the results an experiment which hangs the solvency of the who strenuously, and, as we th.lnk, very nation on a thread would argui or an ignorance almost incredible, argued against the proposal tr The statesmen courage wisely, legally competent to su c r!.ets, evidently felt their grave responsibility. ,a permitted a formal part from the coolness of make Government going at large for e. quarter of a year, after having another settii cgouapl al most ludicrous the of the, Legislatlrre to be committed, there would be 'act of treason against majesty mpeated, or rather s e t t a and tb e n i n another, n t o h t e h e rcontingency panic f returned, and perhaps another still, constituting a a tprolonged, Christmas in theellnc t of rebellion against Parli amentary law. There are th ose who would have no objection to find Mi n i s t ers passing amuse ment of bre a ki ng up a law. The enthusiasm with which th e ex hibi tion has been received might be reb considered to justify a repetition of the performance. In fact, in thp riptpu„,e,x)4itsttiqp,,pe.-th.r. applauders we reCognite - ilie ligeculiar tone of those savages who crucify unfortunate singers with their greedy and senseless encores. These divinities of the gallery will hardly cease so long as there is any hope of having the same song twice over for their money. It is, we therefore, with th e utmost satisfaction ex our belief that in thi s i ns t ance there exists the press greatest possible disinclination in the performers to indulge this propensity. Lord John Russell and Sir Charles Wood have no taste for cumulative offences. What they have done they have done to meet an emergency of the most extraordinary, and, we must add, of the most terrible character. They saw as it were the gradual rise of a hurricane which was driving into the breakers first one, then another, of a goodly merchant fleet ;—they saw the coast strewn with wrecks, and insatiable ocean swallowing its prey ; at every fresh aggravation of the storm another cable, that had so far stood the strain, snapt asunder, and in one instant one more victim was entombed. There they stood, not altogether power less spectators. They were able, at a future and indefinite cost, to create a present lull, and give at least a breathing time to the efforts of those who were labouring on the sea, and the grief of those who be held from the shore. At such a moment they acted as necessity, as humanity, in the judgment of most men, would require. They acted for the best, and time alone can prove that they have acted wrong. The principle of suspending or modifying the operation of a law when a great necessity seems to require it, is one so thoroughly recognised by our constitution, and so abundantly justified by prece dent, that it is a waste of words to say that our ob jections do not refer to this point. In a most delicate and debatable question, or rather calculation of con sequences, we have come to a different result from that implied in the late Ministerial act. Our difference relates to the nature of the pressure--that is, of the aggregate demands on the common stock of mercan tile credit. It is our painful conviction, formed on what seems to us very solid data, and expressed in these columns till they have passed into a byword with our more hopeful contemporaries, that the credit of this country is now fearfully low, and the demands on it unusually great. By credit, we do not mean confidence or opinion, we do not mean an aggregate of mutual confidences, or a general presentiment of wealth, but a very substantial and definite mercantile quantity ;—the nation's creditor account in the great bank of the world ;—the sum total of our legal claims on the universal stock : we mean something as material and definite as the credit of a London firm in its London bank. On the other hand, by , " demands" we un d ers t an d someth i ng equally tan gible. We understand the debtor account of the nation; the aggregate of its undertakings and other obligations. Of course, too, we are forced to look on the national credit and the national demands as living and growing things. Were it possible for the nation to stop payment at once, and submit its affairs to a meeting of creditors, a value could be put upon the items severally constituting the two sides of the account. National insolvency, however, takes a different form. We can only look on it in progress, in aggravation, in abatement, in flux and reflux, in rise and fall. But still the calculation concerns real and definite quanti ties; not fancies, not feelings, not anything in the head or heart of man, but produce in fields, in stacks and in stores, goods in warehouses, ships and their cargoes, money in coffers, written securities, accounts in ledgers, things visible, tangible, and negotiable. With regard to these solid and assignable antecedents, we believe that the old and respectable firm, England, Ireland, Scotland, East and West Indies, and Co., having suffered great losses, and having been put to unusual expenses—having also launched into most extravagant speculations—is now very low both in money and in credit. It is clear to us that many re spectable authorities, including the Ministers them selves, look on the question as one much more of feeling than of fact. To use an ugly word, we are more materialists than they are on the subject. That is the nature of our difference. We will not for one instant suppose that Sir Charles Wood, or any other member of the Govern ment, doubts the reality of the pressure, and puts it all upon panic. Nor could we imagine men of their calibre thinking it possible to build credit with paper, like a castle of cards. For the present, we will shut our eyes to the Limbo of Inconvertibles. In point of fact, they have no such reason to glorify themselves at the expense of the Bank Charter Act. As we ob served on Tuesday, the Ministerial measure is about as guarded and cautious as such a measure could be; and, though the Inconvertibles profess to like the meat, it is evident their palates revolt against the sauce. We only fear that, under the circumstances, a well intentioned and most allowable present relief will prove an eventual evil. We fear, that while a fresh impulse is given to the mental confidence of the na tion, still greater demands will be made on its actual and material credit. Whether we look to Ireland, to our factories, or even to our railroads, we see the causes that have brought us to our present pass still in full operation. Ireland, it is evident, will again make great demands upon the common stock of food. We shall again have to pay a good price to America for a less than average quantity of cotton. Though many new railway works are suspended, and many postponed, and though Ministers will, doubt less, propose in the November session some very effi cacious checks and exits for these disastrous specula tions, yet it is too likely that the expenditure will continue for some time at its present rate. All this augurs a continuance and aggravation of the present pressure, and renders it very conceivable that the "relief" afforded by Government may be used to the extent of three millions, resulting in a drain to that amount on the gold in the Bank. Should mat ters come to that pass, there would [then be more panic, more difficulty of discounts, more demands for relief, and perhaps a run for gold, which Government would have to meet at a great expense of character and money. Our apprehensions of such a result in cline us to the opinion that it would have been better to let things now take their course. We are charged with cruelty or indifference, because we prefer a less evil now to a great and accumulated evil hereafter. A glance at the last six months will suffic e to answer this accusation. Is it not manifest that all the houses that have failed would have shown better accounts and done less mischief, if they had wound up their affairs six months since instead of floundering on with discounts at 10 per cent. ? We do not predict ; we only reason from the past. Had the Ministerial measure been adopted six months since, when some thing of the ki n d was loudly clamoured for, the re sults show that it would have caused a fearful aggra vation of our present calamities. At the end of another six months we fear it will be found to have done so now. TRADE IN B IRMING IIAM.—We are happy to state that, notwithstanding the mischievous and scandalous rumours which have been circulated durin g th e past week, nothi ng h as occu rred to injure credit or excite apprehension. The foreign merchants are fall of orders, but exhibit a judicious reserve in the extent of their operations. We cannot too strongly deprecate the in famous propensity evinced by vain and idle persons to whisper away the characters of respectable men, for no other purpose than to exhibit their wretched self-im portance. On Saturday, if rumour had been credited, a house of as un d ou b te d so l venc y as any in existence would have been seriously injured, if not totally ruined.—Bir mingbam Advertiser. Mr. Gay, the surgeon, tied the carotid artery of i James G erman, a c hild on ly seven months old, whilst rendered completely insensible by the inhalation of etherial vapour. The child had a large swelling of a highly dangerous nature on the right side of the face, which required so formidable an operation, and it is likely to be cured. The operation was performed at the Xtoyal Free Hospital, Gray's Imi-road. THE UNITED STATESI AND MEXICO. I By the R o y a l M a il steam-s'''ip LIVERPOOL, THURSDP M oRNINC. Hibernia, Cuptain Ryrie, we ha ve a d v i ce!, from New York to the 15th, Boston to the NO' , and Halifax to the 18th instant respectively. 12,000/. i- She brings ninety p assengers , an d 'specie. Ttie Hibernia spoke the Cambria on the morning the 18th between Halifax and Boston, where she would arrive on the evening of the 18th. Our accounts from Mexico, though mere rumours, are interesting. Santa Anna was stated to be at Guadaloupe, whence it was expected he would retreat to Oaxaca. This, however, is contradicted by ru mours which report that the American troops, after taking the city of Mexico, had numerous severe con flicts with the almost innumerable swarm of Leperos who inhabited and surrounded the capital, and that the latter finally became so annoying and destructive, that they obtained the advantage over the American troops, who were finally under the necessity of retir ing from from the eity. It is further said that Santa Anna had left his quarters at Guadeloupe, and re turned to the capital at the head of an army of 10,000 regular troops, and that fighting had been resumed and was still going on desperately at the last accounts. it was fut4hcr stated that in consequence of the above report the Mexicans had become inspirited, and were flying to arms throughout the country. Three thousand were reported to have gathered at Victoria. In consequence of these reports, great anxiety was felt for the troops under General Scott. A rumour, which is confirmed, states that Santa Anna had resigned the Presidency, and that the in strument of resignation was dated from Guadaloupe the 16th of September; but that the Mexican people were not disposed to receive it, and had again placed him at the head of the al'my. There is no confirmation of the report that Santa Anna had been wounded. Among other improbable rumours, it is stated that General Herrera is now in command of the army, and will proceed with 14,000 men to station himself at Queretaro, where it is intended that the Mexican Congress shall re-assemble. It is also said that Santa Anna has moved towards Puebla with 2,000 horse, and that Paredes is raising troops with some success in the state of Jalisco. The New York Express says— " There was a report by the last arrival from Vera Cruz, that General Quitman, with 4,000 men, had left the Mexican capital for the purpose of opening communications with thecoast. But we hardly think General Scott would deem it advisable to weaken his force in the capital so much as would be necessary to carry out this movement. Obviously the communi cations ought to be opened from below." General Rea is said to have gained full possession of Puebla, but the Americans were pouring a deadly fire upon his troops from the surrounding heights com manding the town. Large reinforcements of American troops were on their way from Vera Cruz to the Mexican capital. By the last accounts from Vera Cruz, September 25, there was an American force of 2,500 men at the National-bridge, under General Lane; another of about 1,000 men at Jalapa, under Major Lally; a garrison of a few hundred men at the fortress of Perote; and another of about 1,000 men at Puebla, under Colonel Childs. The greater part of the force at the National-bridge was imme diately to march for Jalapa, where it would be joined by Major Lally's command, or a part of it, and proceed to Perote, and thence to Puebla and Mexico, to reinforce the main army under General Scott. General Cushing's division of about 2,000 men was daily expected at Vera Cruz from the ' Brazos, and would forthwith advance to the sup port of General Lane. As Lane's division will en counter opposition from the guerillas, particularly at Cerro Gordo, where considerable fortifications are said to have been erected, it is probable that by the time he reaches Perote, General Cushing will come up, which will swell the advancing column to 5,000 men. Previous to the storming of the capital Santa Anna issued the following address : " The President Provisional of the Republic and Commander-in-Chief of the Army to the Nation. " Countrymen, --The enemy, availing himself of idle pretext, has determined to commence hostilities upon your beautiful city. Presuming us to be dis heartened and humiliated by the reverses of fortune, he expected that I should subscribe a treaty by which the territory of the republic would have been essen tially reduced, and the republic covered with shame and ignominy. Mexicans do not deserve a fate so ignominious, and, having been called upon spontane ously to direct their destinies, I have felt it my duty to respond with all loyalty to their signal mark of confidence, preserving those precious rights which cannot be alienated, and thus affording an example of energy and firmness which are the glory of nations. " The enemy had proclaimed that they would pro pose to us a peace honourable for both nations, and it became our duty t o li sten to them, that their treachery might be made known. Their propositions, and all the sequel of the negotiations, are to be published, so that the civilized world may see that we were ready to sacrifice all that our honour would permit us to sacrifice; and that on the other band our enemies set up measureless pretensions, which would have destroyed the republic and converted it into a miserable colony of the United States. To such audacity we could oppose nothing but our firmness and our valour. " Mexicans ! You will find me, as ever, leading in your defence, striving to free you from a heavy yoke, and to preserve your altars from infamous vio lation, and your daughters and your wives from the extremity of insult. The enemy raises the sword to wound your noble fronts ; do you draw it likewise to chastise the rancorous pride of the invader. " Mexicans ! For ever live the independence of the_country! " ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA. " Mexico, Sept. 7, 1847." The following is the official Mexican account of the capture of the city : " To the Generals of the Several Departments. " Most Excellent Sir,—After the important and great events that have yesterday taken place, there remains no other alternative to the Government of the Union than that of abandoning the capital, in order that other means be adopted and pursued for the harassing of the enemy. Accordingly, his Ex cellency orders me to inform you, in order that through you the Honourable Congress of the State over which you preside may know it, that his Ex cellency is firmly resolved to prosecute military operations against the invaders ; and that, whatever be the consequences resulting from the war, his Excellency is determined to wage it in every possible manner and by every attainable means. " A heroic resistance WAS made in the capital for the space of six days, but at length the enemy estab lished himself in places and positions from which his missiles and projectiles could reach the peaceful thousands of the lefty ; then the Supreme Govern ment, seeing the state of affairs to be such as war ranted their departure, changed their abode ; and very soon I shall have the pleasure of announcing to your Excellency the site upon which it will fix, `which at present is impossible for me to do, as it ac companies the army, and as yet is not agreed upon the residence of the supreme power of the natio*. But as soon as the latter is known I will give your Excellency a detailed account of everything that has occurred, but now I shall confine myself to the single following statement The American army charged yesterday at day light with all its force upon Chapultepec, which, after a spirited defence of six hours, yielded at last to the attack of the enemy, who immediately marched to take possession of a fortification situated between the sentry-box of Belen and St. Thomas, St. Como and the Citadel. The first advance was checked by the troops his Excellency the President led up, disputing the ground inch by inch, till finally the invader was routed from the citadel, after nine hours' hard fight ing. The capital being in this situation, his Excel lency was anxious to a vo id a bombardment and to sisare the tumult and confusion attendant upon an assault, which would have given room for a thousand calamities, and a rep e titi on o f t h ose acts in which the army of the foe has manifested so instinctive a spirit of extermination. " His Excellency the President of the Republic 1. ..11111111,..___ -.mu. , morr hc_rpeE i that yOttr Excellency will endeavour to pre serve and reanimate the public spirit, in order that the w r may be carried on with tS,It vigour and energ2 r which the national honour and the rights of the rep 4 4 'the so imperiously demand. 4.LCORTA, Minister of War anti Marine. " Gu. tc4 ;loupe Hidalgo, Sept. 14, 1847." The e Xe ( .ution, b y order of General Scott, ,of the Irishmen ire the Mexican service, had called forth the following a ddress, published in a supplemental v n umber of t he Diaro d e l G o bi erno, the official organ, of the Mexic an Government " Mexican s !—Among the European volunteers whom the A merican army has hired to kill us, there are many us 'fortunate men who are convinced of the injustice of this war, wh o pro f ess the same Roman Catholic relil ;ion we prof ess, b ut who, being harassed by the mise/ y which prevails in Europe, from the want of eMS doyment, and the failure of crops, have consented t o enlist. Some of these men, abjuring their errors, and following the noble impulses of their hearts, have passed over to our army to defend our just cause. From thes e hi s E xcellency the President formed the I foreig n L eg i on, known under the name of the Ca St. Patri c k. A t La Angostura w ?any of and at Chi , rubusco th ey b ore themselves with the highest ir itrk yidity, and after the enemy had gained possessio a o 5 . this last point, which was only after its defenders iv id exhaust e d th e i r last cartridge, they were my ,dc visoners. " The ge..lerals of the American army, who ca not count ul A in their soldiers in a war so iniquitous, save through LI 'te influence of acts of ferocity, were deter mined to shoot these Irishrn e en. Scarcely was this known to t he city before every breast was filled with horror at tl le thought. Hi s E xce ll ency, the Minister of Relatioo;f 3, in a couching leiter to the English Con sul, the eat imable lady o f h er B r i tannic Majesty's Minister, various pri va t e i n di v id uals, both Mexicans and foreigt. ters, we ourselves, and even the ladies of families res. iding at Tacubaya, interceded for these brave mesa; and we expected that if they could not be pardmed, they would at least be spared capital punishmf ant. "It w ould have been deemed base and repugnant to the la ,ws of civilization as practised in modern wars to offer the bloody spectacle of the execution of these men ; at id yet it could have been palliated to a certain extent 7by the part which those men took in the de fence of Cherubusco, but they had no share whatever in the sl aftghter which was made the day before yes terday upon the heights of the King's Mill. Well, then, will you believe it, my countrymen ? this day, in cold blood, these Caribs, from an impulse of super stition, and after the manner of savages, and as prac tised in the days of Homer, have hung up these men as a holocaust—they have themselves said it--to the manes of the general or generals who there fell ! And in what manner did they hang them ? Noosing them by the neck as they stood upon the ground, and so suspending them that they died by 'inches,' strangled by their own weight, the mode adopted being such that their horrible agony lasted more than one hour —a spectacle worthy of such men, or rather of demons escaped from hell. This they did with eighteen of these unhappy men, and among them the brave Cap tain Reilli, whose head they stuck upon a pike, and planted at Cherubusco. To six others, who proved that they had not volunteered but been impressed, they gave 200 lashes each, and compelled them to dig the graves of their companions. " Mexicans ! These are the men who call us bar barians, and say they come to civilize us. These are the men who have plundered the houses of the sur rounding villages—who have stolen children from their families—who have slept in the niches devoted to the sacred dead—who have, with blasphemous re velry, clothed themselves with the ornaments of the altars—who have thrown upon the ground the body of Jesus Christ, and have made themselves drunk in, drinking out of the sacred vessels ! Accursed may they be of all Christians as they are of God! " Countrymen! The Supreme Government com manded its commissioners, as you have seen it already published, that they should inquire of their commis sioners, first of all, why they had brought war upon our republic, with blood and fire ? what injuries we have done to them, that they should thus seek to re venge themselves ? Their mode of concealing their confusion at not being able to reply to these inquiries, and of satisfying their displeasure because we would not consent to an ignominious peace, has been to light up anew the flames of war, to send us from the King's Mill,r,the day before yesterday our assassinated coun trymen who had in no manner offended them, and to glut their diabolical rage upon the defenceless men whom they had in their power. " Mexicans ! The Supreme Government conjures us in the name of the honour of our race—in the name of our dignity as men, and of God himself, that we should all unite, by one unanimous and continued effort, to revenge these great outrages, to yield never to dismay, and to wage this war without truce and without relenting. May remorse seize upon every selfish or cowardly Mexican who cannot say to him self that he has fulfilled every duty as a public officer and a good citizen; who has not contributed by every means in his power towards this war—with his per son, with the influenc e o f hi s pos iti on, w i t h a part of his fortune, with his labour, by maintaining a number of soldiers—by aiding every way those who fight, and who has not so employed the means which God has given him for his service and that of the country in which God has placed him, that his images shall not be cut down, nor his holy name blasphemed. " Mexico, Sept. 10, 18472' The loss suffered by the United States' troops, from the Bth to the 13th September, is stated to be 25 officers killed and 47 wounded, and 490 men killed and wounded in the last battle.

Bank of England notes, to a con siderable amount, were sold at rates varying from 9 to 9f and 9i. On Paris, bills command 5.23. The next sailing packet for Havre will carry out from 150,000 to 200,000 dollars in silver, some Mexican, mostly French. The re i s l ess doing in exchange for this packet than usual, by reason in part of the near ness of the next steamer from England, now eleven days out, and the apprehension that she may bring tidings of additional failures. This apprehension prevents, it is probable, the offering of many bills in the market, which the parties here are not willing to negotiate until they have the assurance, by the next packet, that their constituents on the other side stand.

A vast portion of the embarrassment that has over taken many of the large flour and grain houses in England and different parts of the continent has been occasioned by the injudicious manner in which ship ments of grain have been made. The demand for breadstuffs was so great that corn, wheat, and rye were sent forward in the utmost hurry ; everything in the shape of a vessel was loaded; and most of them without any judgment. The consequence been that many h ave f oundered at sea, others have never been heard of, and a large number have been com pelled to return, or put into some foreign port with cargoes shifted and damaged. These have occasioned some losses and disappointments. But yet a greater evil has been experienced from a want of care in hav ing the grain properly dried and prepared previous to being shipped. A very large portion of the grain sent out has been found, on arrival, to be so heated 1 and damaged as to be worth less than the mere Price FORTY SHILLINGS.

Reader, remember, this letter was put into thee paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weckley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor , trinity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, if the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than lever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weelc.ley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenstor, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 11 s, bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and produotion of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume itis far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any !ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre- I vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and Irevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the kair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the Rost aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing adour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops n the crown of the hea.l; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces air ou children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' cads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials. All letters addressed to William Grimatone Herbary. Highgate. BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, New road, London.—The principles of the Hygeian theory are con tained in the following propositions :-1. The vital principle s con tained in the blood. 2. Everything in the body is derived from the blood. 3. All constitutions are radically the same. 4. All diseases arise frosn.the impurity of the blood, 01, in frnrn sr.vt monious humours lodged in the body. 5. This humour, which de generates the blood, has three sources—the maternine, the conta gious, and the personal. 6. Disease and pain have the same origin, and may therefore be considered synonymous terms. 7. Purgation by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effcctuual mode of eradi cating disease. 8. Experience of upwards of twenty years has amply proved MORISON'S VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINE to be such proper vegetable purgative. 9. FrOiti-the intimate connexion subsisting between the mind and the body, the health of theone must conduce to the serenity of the other. Hygeism--The science of health. Hygeist—A promoter of health. Hygeian—Pertaining to the science of health. These terms have not been adopted through an affecta tion of singularity, but merely for the sake of drawing a sufficiently broad line of demarcation between the old and new schools. -. ... .. :4. • • '.., ' 4 r' - t, - i . „ •-_ ....a , = A 4 . it 1111 1 , 1,11, „ A alfp • °Au • Att. .
