A FRIEND. DEDICATED, WITH EVERY SENTIMENT OP THE SINCEREST AND WARMEST AFFECTION, TO W- G-, JUN. (For the Liverpool Standard) Oh ! there is a cordial that sweetens our life, A cordial that blessings unnuinber'd attend, That eases our sorrows in trouble and strife, That first came from Heaven—that cordial's " A Friend !" If fortune should smile on the path you pursue, If wealth, peace, and pleasure should on you descend, If no gloomy cloudlet should darken your view, One treasure's the richest—that treasure's " A Friend!" If fame, with her laurel, your brow should entwine, If all, in your praises, their voices should blend, If, blazon'd by glory, your name brightly shine, What cheers are the sweetest ?—the cheers of " A Friend !" If shrouded you be in adversity's gloom. If dark be your pathway, as onward you bend ; Tho' blighted your prospects, tho' bitter your doom, There may be some comfort—it is in " A Friend !" If you should be wounded by sorrow's keen dart, If anguish the peace from your bosom should rend. If hope should no longer illumine your heart, Oh ! where would you fly ?—to the love of " A Friend !" When low on the couch of affliction you lie, And Heav'nward your lingering breath must ascend, When nature no longer its foe can defy, Oh ! where would you die ?—in the arms of " A Friend !" A solace in trouble, a refuge from care, A jewel whose value no price can transcend, The final resource of distrustful despair, Affliction's sure anchor—all this is " A Friend !" Liverpool, September 10th, 1840. J. M. L. Vottrp. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE AGITATOR IN DESPAIR. (From the Dublin Evening Packet) " Those who are not Repeaters are Stanleyites. We'll write villanous perjurers on the brow of every man who will not join us now, and I must say I think such an one well deserving it." Were anything wanted to demonstrate to the world the frantic desperation to which O'Connell has been driven by the aversion evinced by all honourable minds to his recent scheme of fraud and plunder, it would be fully supplied by the foregoing extract, taken from his harangue of Sunday last, delivered in the presence of an excited rabble, congregated, after mass, in front of Booterstown chapel. But the extract in question proves something more than the ruthless ferocity of despair. It plainly indicates the kind of respect in which this mercenary old impostor holds the judgment of his infatuated audience, when he could bring him self to venture on a declaration such as that we have just quoted, before any body of rational beings, in the slightest degree acquainted with the history of this mountebank's immediate family for the last five years, nay, even with the fellow's own proceedings within the pres"nt month. Those who are not repealers, we are now told, are " Stanleyites," and deserve to he branded as " villanous perjurers." Are they so ? Very well. Let us see how this test will tell when applied to O'Connells' own chil dren, and his numerous relatives and dependents now supported by the public money, and of whom every man of them has sold himself to the " base, bloody, and brutal" whigs, for the emoluments of office. There is, in the first place, Mr. Morgan O'Connell, late repesentative for the county of Meath, but at pre sent deputy clerk in the Registry-office, at a salary of £5OO per annum. Is this person, let us take leave to ask—is he a repealer ? No such thing ; although like the rest of his tribe, he entered Parliament eight years since as a pledged advocate for a repeal of the legisla tive union. Here, then, is a Stanleyite—a mean, sel fish, and treacherous Stanleyite, (in the agitator's ap plication of the term,) if ever there has been one. Here is villanous perjurer the first. Again, there is Mr. Maurice O'Connell, M.P. for Kerry, another member of the same breed of patriots— well, is he a repealer ? Most certainly not. On the repeal question, as now broached by his consistent sire, he is as mute as a fish. He, too, having, no doubt, some equally creditable negotiation on the anvil, is just as silent on the subject as his worthy brother. So, here we have to our hand a second Stanleyite and villanous perjurer, in the person of Daniel's first be ,,);ten and favourite child. Nor does the catalogue cud here. There is besides, a third member of the O'Connell family, yclept Daniel junior; and is that gentleman a repealer ?- Most assuredly not. He is a hard strug gling and money making brewer, who has sense enough to prefer the custom of the Viceregal kitchen to the interests of old Ireland, and the profits on the consump tion of a few casks of porter to the welfare of the " eight millions" of " hereditary bondsmen." Behold, then, a third " Stanleyite" and villanous perjurer, -standing forward in the ranks of the Liberator's most disinterested children ! Turn we now to old Hackball's nearest and dearest relatives. Mr. Morgan John O'Connell and his father in the respective relations of nephew and brother to immaculate Daniel. Are they, or any one of them, let us ask, repealers ? Again the answer must be " No." They are at this moment, if the newspapers speak the truth, engaged in getting up an address laudatory of Lord Morpeth and the Ebrington administration, and turning their backs with well affected horror on the repeal imposture. Here therefore we have more of the "Stanleyites" and villanous perjurers, and no mistake. There are, moreover, connected with Mr. Daniel O'Connell's family by marriage, two gentlemen, named Christopher Fitzsimon and Arthur French, both being his sons-in-law. Now, we should like to know whether these individuals have had the courage to enlist under the repeal banner, or make a single move towards the attainment of " justice to Ireland ?" The answer must be, " no, no, they have not." And why ? For this all-sufficient and cogent reason, that the former, though returned to Parliament on anti-union principles, in 1832, found it more prudent to become clerk of the Hanaper than to continue legislator, and, accordingly, is now in the comfortable enjoyment of—" say a thou sand" per annum ; while the latter holds the rank and receives the pay of a stipendiary magistrate, for which he has been indebted to the successful solicitations of his "no patronage" father-in-law. These men, too, must therefore be classed among the " Stanleyites," upon O'Connell's principle. They are villanous per jurers both. We might, if so disposed, add to the foregoing list of patriots upwards of a dozen other names, in every way qualified to be placed in the same category ; but enough, we apprehend, has been brought forward to demonstrate the reckless inconsistency manifested by the Kerry Demagogue, whilst hurling his denuncia tions at the heads of the anti-repeaters. Will he de nounce any one of the gentlemen above referred to ? We may feel quite assured that he will do nothing of the kind. On the contrary, he will chuckle with delight at the certainty of having secured so liberal a provision for his children and kindred, and will laugh in his sleeve at the gullibility of the creatures whom he is now plundering of their hard earned money. But why his towering rage at the present moment ? We can easily account for it. Rent-day is approach ing, and a more than usual demonstration of earnest ness must be exhibited in the cause of his afflicted " father-land"—alias, the cause of his begging-box. Hence the " sound and fury, signifying"—down with the tribute, with which the public ear has been assailed for the last month on the subject of repeal. It is but one of the ordinary devices invariably -resorted to by this practised mendicant when contemplating a fresh haul from the pockets of his wretched countrymen. Add . to this that the present repeal recruits are, with few exceptions, supplied from the humbler and poorer classes, and cannot therefore afford to come up to the full measure of. Daniel's cupidity. Shilling subscrip tions will never do to swell old Hackball's capacious wallet; and hence the ferocious outcry against the " Stanleyites" and villanous perjurers, including the fellow's own children and relations. Really this is un bearable, and must disgust every sound-thinking and high-minded man in the nation. But cares O'Connell for that ? Let his rapacity be once gratified and all is well. EUROPEAN RE LATiON S. (From the Times.) While the fate of the world seems to be depending upon the formation of a pacific ministry in France, which may restrain the perilous impetuosity of the people in that country, and restore more conciliatory relations with the ministers of England, our attention has not unreasonably been directed to the position of sevei.al of the other States of Europe. Th ey are f or .!;ost part unprovided with the conspicuous machi nt,•!v which sets public opinion in motion amongst larger and f r e er coin ; unities. Whilst every rumour which ills al.ong the Boulevards or up Whitehall is re-echoed to the ends of the earth, the most serious interests and opinions of the humbler members of the Europea n f , n Iv attract no attention beyond their own narrow They , await in anxious suspense the turn ,y lie ; given to events ; hut they are ignorant of Lie Nl:lute causes, powerless as to the most imme itat- consequences of a policy which may threaten with disasters or ruin. The independance , and i ;omit) , of those States which are too weak to raise heir voice in the councils of Europe, or to stir a finger in her great political combinations, are no unworthy objects of the attention of just and prudent politicians. l'he peace which was preserved in 1831, through so many dangers and difficulties, by the resolution of Louis Philippe, by the diplomatic skill of M. de Tal leyrand, and by the foundation of the Anglo-French alliance, was materially aided by physical obstacles to war. France and Russia, the two most warlike and hostile nations, found themselves separated by the whole extent of central Europe ; and the propaganda of the July revolution produced no lasting effects be yond the Rhine, when the moderate reforms of some of the Lesser German governments had been conceded to the people. In "like manner, the lesser States con tiguous to the eastern frontier of France, from B e l g i um to Piedmont, interpose a neu tral, pacific, and inoffen sive boundary between that country and the great German Powers, which is only broken by the tete de poet of the Rhenish provinces of Prussia. There is no doubt that the treaties of 1815, which the war -party in France declare to be such an excellent ground for beginning hostilities in 184 0 , were in tended, and wisely intended, not to give the Allied Powers facilities for fresh aggression against - France, but to deprive France of facilities of aggression against Europe. Accordingly, at the present moment, Europe is deriving some bene fit from those precautionary measures, although their effect has been greatly weakened by the dismember ment of the kingdom of the Netherlands, and by the state of public feeling in some of the Rhenish provinces. Nevertheless, the common interest of all these mi nor states is that of neutrality. In . Belgium a strong national feeling has sprung up, very different from that spirit of strife which repudiated the union with Hol land in 1839, and flung the insurgents of Brussels into the arms of France; and the practical results of Bel gian independence have left that people little cause to envy the loftier, but more perilous and unsettled, des tinies of their neighbours. For Belgium as well as for Holland, the maintenance of the neutrality of their frontiers and the neutrality of their flag is the first condition of their territorial and commercial exist ence. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. THE UNITED STATES. By the Caledonia steam ship, Captain Cleland, which arrived on Friday, we have received New York and Boston papers to the 16th ult, both dates inclusive. The news by this arrival is extremely meagre. The election excitement in the States still continued. The returns appear to be generally in favour of General Harrison. Business continued to improve at New York. The exchange on England stood at 108* to 109. Specie was abundant. The shares in the Bank of the United States were quoted at 63.1. The Phila delphia banks were preparing for the resumption of cash payments on the 15th of January next. The following are the. most interesting extracts from the papers before us : THE STATE OF THE COUNTRY. (From the New York Morning Herald of Oct. 16. The violent political contest which is now raging in every part of the United States, and which will continue to rage for the next three weeks, will have a N cry important bearing upon the interests of all those large capitalists in Europe, who are interested in American securities. The results of the recent State elections in Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Delaware, Georgia, New Jersey, Pennsyl vania, &c. although to all appearance having but one general aspect, yet upon careful analysis, will be found to possess a great variety of shades and complexions. The state elections have many of them, beyond all doubt, been influenced by a variety of local and other causes, that may not be brought to bear on the great presidential question in November. But yet, perhaps, on a careful review of the whole of these re sults, it is fair to pronounce their inevitable tendency to be a complete revolution in the men and measures connected with the general government. In Georgia, although the state elections have resulted in favour of what is termed the Harrison or whig party, yet the great question there has been the anti-bank question, and the men who are elected to Congress on the whig side are pledged to oppose a National Bank under any circumstances. In Pennsylvania, the great struggle has been for and a gainst the United States Bank ; and the elections appear to have resulted in favour of the party opposed to that bank. The course of that bank has defeated and paralyzed the pros pects of General Harrison in Pennsylvania, and the proba bility at present is that Mr. Van Buren will get the vote of that state. The prospect at present is that General Harrison will be the next president of the United States. His election will involve an entire change of policy in the financial measures of the general government, bringing in their train a national bank. There is some doubt, however, whether in the first session of Congress, General Harrison's administration will have strength sufficient to carry it through, but that is the ultimo thule of all their plans and movements. in this revolution that is at hand, the probability is that state stocks will be but little affected thereby; their stability depending upon the conduct of the states themselves, and the measures taken to preserve their individual credit, and pay the interest of their bonds punctually. Fancy stocks, and bank stocks, however, will all be considerably affected by the change, and will all rise more or less, and induce a new train of speculations. The Pennsylvania election may affect the stocks of that state to a considerable extent ; but under no circumstances is it possible that the condition of United States Bank stock can be permanently improved. That ap pears to be " Past hope, sunk in its fortunes." For the rest—commercial matters will improve—confidence, either real or assumed, will prevail—and the year 1841 will bring new hopes, new men, new measures, new joys, new speculations, new mouvements, and pretty much new every thing on the tapis. THE COTTON TRADE. The past year has been remarkable in many respects: the season last year commenced late, in consequence of the low state of the rivers ; subsequently, when the rivers rose and the influx of cotton became larger, prices began to recede, and continued to do so up to April, when a fall in freights, an improvement in exchanges, and favourable news from abroad, caused the markets to rally. Since that period they have gradually been rising. The following is a table of the average monthly price, at the four principal ports throughout the year : PRICES OF COTTON AT FOUR PRINCIPAL PORTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR 1839-40. N. Orleans. Mobile. Charleston. N. York. Oct. 104 to 13 .... 121 to 13 10/ to 13 ... 101 to 141 Nov. 91 to 11 .... 114 to 9 to 11 ....10-3 to 13/ Dec. 81 to 91.... 91 to 93 to 94.... 9 to 12 Jan. 8* to 91.... 81 to 81.... 94 to 91.... 91 to 11 Feb. 71 to 84.... 74 to 71.... 84 to 81.... 74 to 10 March 64 to 81.... 7 to ... 74 to 8 .... 64 to 9/ April 7to 74.... 74 to 71.... 74 to 84.... to 9 May 7 to 61 71 to 71.... 8 to 81.... 71 to 94 June 7/ to 74 to 74.... 74 to 8 .... 74 to 91 July 84 to 9-1.... 81 to 81.... 84 to 9 .... 81 to 101 Aug. 81 to 91.... 8 to 84.... 84 to 84.... 9 to 10/ Sept. 94 to 9t. ... 81 to 84 ... 91 to 94.... 91 to 11 The cotton-growers have, indeed, received low prices for their produce, but the quantity has been increased, in some cases, near 90 Fer cent. The prices of the articles of con sumption have been very low ; and the purchases of foreign and manufactured goods have been exceedingly limited. Under all these circumstances, the season has not been an unprofitable one to the planter. The growing crop will, in all probability, not fall much short of that just closed, while the abundance of all other agricultural productions promises a continuance of reasonable prices. The state of Europe also promises, in the event of a continuance of peace, such an increased consumption that will advance prices beyond their average of the past year. The receipts of cotton, thus far, have been large. The average quality of the receipts has been " middling fair " to " fair." It is supposed that the proportion of fine cottons will be less than last year. CANADA. The act lately passed by the Imperial Parliament for the union of the Canadas, seems to meet with greater opposition in certain quarters than was at first anticipated. The oppo nents of the union state that the measure will lead to a sepa ration between Canada and the mother country. They see that Canada has now the power to separate if she pleases ; but why take for granted that she will use that power for that purpose ? They do so because they assume that the United Provinces will be governed as each of the two has been, upon the mixed system of representation without executive re sponsibility, and that the verging -on-revolution state thus produced will render the colony discontented. A large meeting was to be held at Quebec, on the 13th in stant, of those opposed to the union. It is thought, however, that the opposition will graduully diminish, and that the mea sure will eventually become popular. The evils apprehended strike us as entirely imaginary, and when the subject is un derstood, the measure must meet with general acceptance. Horse racing has become quite the rage in the Canadas during the two past years, and we hope it will be a source of improving the breed of horses, besides affording sport to the public. The Niagara meeting was to take place on the 14th and 15th instant. TEXAS. From Texas, as well as from Mexico, we have no authentic intelligence since the Great Western sailed. A rumour has reached us of a movement in New Mexico, in favour of Texas, but from the circuitous route by which it comes, and from other circumstances, it seems hardly credible. The Cen tralists, the party most hostile to Texas, had the ascendancy at all the important points of New Mexico, at our previous dates, and the story is most probably a fabrication. FRANCE. We present this as an official list of the new French cabi net : _ _ _ Marshal Soult President of the Council and Minister of War. M. Guizot . Minister of Foreign Affairs. M. Hurnann Minister of Finance. M. Ducbatel. Minister of Interior. Admiral Duperre Minister of Marine. M. Villemain Minister of Public Instruction. M.Martin (duNord) Minister of Justice. M. Cunin Gridaine.. Minister of Commerce. M. Thiers went on Thursday to the King, to countersign the ordinance appointing his successor, to appear in Friday's Moniteur. EASTERN AFFAIRS. TAKING OF CAIFFA AND SAIDA.—The following are the particulars of the taking of Caiffa and Saida : " Sunday, September 27th, 1840.—At six a.m. Captain `Walker came on board our vessel. He had been down to inspect Tyre, to see if it could be made quarters for the army in winter, and on his arrival there, on board the Hydra, he found the Kaywam and the two English frigates had already taken possession of the place, and had found in it four months provisions of corn, &c. These three vessels had also at tacked Caiffa, and, although within sight of the whole garrison of Acre, and of the garrison of Caiffa, consisting of 1500 troops, which had evacuated the place on the approach of the squadron, they took all the brass guns and mortars, and about 1000 stand of arms, and cartouches, accoutrements, &c.; blew up the citadel, and then leaving the place had gone to Tyre, which had also been evacuated on their approach. " Captain Walker , fin din g matters in this condition, and having ascertained that Tyre was too small for winter quar ters, immediately returned toward Jooni Bay to report, and to send some merchant vessels down to carry off the corn and other provisions. On her wa y b a ck the Hy dra f ell in with the squadron sent to attack Saida, and immediately joined it ; another steam-vessel, the Stromboli, on her pas sage direct from England, with 350 marines on board to join the fleet, happening to fall in with this squadron, received orders to join it ; so that instead of two, four large steamers attacked the place. Capt. Walker headed the Turks in the assault that was given after a breach was made, Napier and Aldridge led the English, and the Archduke the Austrians ; the assault was made in three places under the fire of the ships, and to prevent the garrison from running away , the steamers kept se n di ng bombs away beyond the town, and so kept them in. The Egyptian troops fought well from the houses, but were turned out and driven back to the barracks, where, at last, they were obliged to lay down their arms at sunset; the number was e s ti mate d at about 2000, of which ZOO were im mediately embarked o n b oar d th e Hyd ra , and Capt. Walker and Aldridge returned with th em t o J oon i Bay." BERLIN, Oct. 21. NearIyPRUSSIA. 5000 persons of all ranks were at the ball and supper which his majesty d gave yesterday even homage, and to the city first the splendidly illumi nated rittersaal, perhaps the most was the throne, that ever was built, in which on one m gi t e h s e il: i er plate. The i canopy th neo sooty' displaypurple velvet, l dand and other side was c u ole e r r e d a w silver shield, which the citizens presented to memo rial of the late imposing ceremony, was , by rc i l i as a command, fixed immediately over the throne. Never,majesty's per haps, did so simple a symbolic arrangement make so d eep an impression on an assembly. This effect will be receivedby the whole nation with the same enthusiasm; we ay "Y that it is an event of impo rtance in the history of them w that the king has fixed to h is throne the shield presented ()id, to him by the citizens. Who will then dare to touch his throne and their shield? BRAZILS. By the brig Racehorse, Captain Punchard, arrived o ff Falmouth,, from Rio Janeiro, we have received the followin g rn inte intelligence :—" The Chamber of Deputies have come to an important decision to-day (29th August), a vote having passed authorising the government to supply the treasury deficit to the - extent of 21,200,000 sterling by loan, in the manner-which the government may deem most advantageous to the state. This measure will, no doubt, be effected by the sale of a small amount of stock in the Brazils, and the remainder offered for negociations in London. To supply immediate wants, it is supposed the treasury will issue bins bearing interest as before. The legislature seemed to depre cate the issue of more paper money. The exchange is tints is 30 dols. to 30-1 dols. Some sales of stock were effected previously to the passing of the%ote above mentioned at 72- k to 72 4 . The diplomatic agents have had formal notice that the emperor will be crowned on the Ist of May next year. A general amnesty having been published, it remains to be seen whether it will not effect the immediate pacification of the province of Rio Grande." COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE. THE WEST INDIES.-JAMAICA. The date of advices from Jamaica is the 17th of Septem ber, prior to which, for some days, such copious showers of rain had fallen, that the whole face of nature had been altered. By the grateful refreshment the change produced, and the prospect of a continuance, the spirits of the planters had been elevated to such an extent, that they calculated nothing less will be realised by them, in the coming crop, than one-third mare than last year, although several estates, particularly in the Thy Mountain Harbour district, has been pronounced irreparably injured. The home accounts of the state of the sugar market afforded much satisfaction. It was expected, that as it had been determined that all accounts should be kept in the sterling coin of the colony, a fixed rate of payment in exchange would be the result ; that the Spanish dollar, for instance, should be valued at four shillings, with out variation. Bills were effected by this packet at 18s. The colonial bank, as well as the local banks, had issued paper money and specie payments on the above principle. His Excellency the Governor remained exceedingly popu lar. On the anniversary of his landing on the island, clothed with regal dignity, it was intended that a public illumination and rejoicing should take place, but which Sir Charles very judiciously overruled. The members of the House of Assembly of Jamaica were not to commence di gesting the " divers weighty causes and cosiderations," until October 6th. We are told that the virulent clique among the Baptists are "put down." The island enjoyed great quitude. Mr. Barclay, the agent of the colonial legis lature, engaged to obtain emigrants, had addressed to a party in Jamaica a communication from New York, to the effect that he had been unsuccessful there, as far as the emigration of free blacks was concerned. Certain allegations having been laid against the Hon. Mr. Grant, of which the Attor ney-General would take no cognisance, instructions were subsequently received from the Colonial-office, in London, to institute proceedings, forthwith, on ten several counts. By the interference of the government, and the extreme and peremptory manner marked out, the greatest sensation had been created ' • but the result proves to be a victorious one for the accused, by the grand jury ignoring nine, and the petit jury declaring him " not guilty" of the tenth count of the bill of indictment. The packet brought passengers—Hon. Mr. M`Dougall, Advocate-General of Jamaica : Mr. Moncrief, Mr. Ellis, Mr. Semper, and Mr. and Mrs. Foster. The former gen tleman purposes returning to the West Indies again, on the 17th proximo. Her Majesty's ships at Jamaica were the Snake, Serpent, Comus, and the packet steamers. The Linnet packet, which followed the Pandora, is now hourly expected. THE MAURITIUS. Mauritins papers to the 18th of July have come to hand. They notice the arrival out there of Sir Lionel Smith the new governor, who it may be hoped will be more successful and conciliatory in his present position than as Governor of Ja maica he was found to be. The best feelings are well known not to prevail in the Isle of France towards British connec tion, arising mainly from subjects of irritation and colonial misrule which have been thereas everywhere else the prevail ing feature and result of Colonial-office management since the accession of the present Government. Some sensation was caused in the island by the arrival of the sloop of war Lily, with 260 negroes on board, which were taken from the Josii, a Portuguese slaver, which was run on shore on the coast of Mozambique, on being chased by the Lily. The slaver had originally on board more than 500 of these wretched beings it is said, of whom one half were drowned or made their escape on shore, as well as the crew, except one sick sailor. In consequence of the prevalence of small-pox among these poor creatures, 30 of whom were laid up with that di sease, the Lily was placed in quarantine. It was not known how these negroes would be disposed of, as this was the first instance of captured blacks having been brought into the co lony ; but the feeling seemed to be that it would be prefera ble for the Government to take charge of and employ them in the public works, for which there was a great want of hands, rather than allot them among the planters, who seemed no way desirous to have them as apprentices. The plan of an association for the promotion of free labour is published in these papers, as approved by the authorities. Agents were to be appointed under their control and sub ject to their approbation to reside at Calcutta, Madras, or other English ports, and in Madagascar, Muscat and such other places as may be judged necessary. The regulations provide generally that every information is to be furnished by the agents to labourers previous to engagement for immi gration, and although service and a minimum of rations are guaranteed to them beforehand, yet they are invariably to be left free to choose their own employers, and make their own arrangements on arrival. The minimum of wages, be sides food, house, clothing and medical attendance, is for Men Women Bs. Children of both sexes from ten to eighteen years of age The daily ration of food for Indians of both sexes above ten years of age per head is to be — Rice Salt fish . Butter Salt . _ _ _ _ _ After this follows the enumeration of the kinds and quantity of raiment to be given per annum. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL MISCELLANY. The Right Hon. R. C. Fergusson's landed property in Cal cutta has been sold for 123,900rs.—East India Telegraph. The Gazette de France says, that the London embassy would devolve on M. de Barante, in the event of M. Guizot's resigning it for a seat in the Cabinet. Advices from Rio de Janeiro of August 23 state, that the Emperor of Brazil had published an amnesty, and had ap pointed new governors to the provinces of the empire. A steam fire-engine has been invented at New York by Captain Erickson. It weighs only 2 tons, and will throw 3,0001 b of water per minute, to a height of 105 feet, through a nozzle of 1-1 inch diameter. The King of Holland has retired from public affairs with a private fortune of 168 millions of francs. William was 25 years King, so that he appears to have saved about seven millions of francs per annum during that period. It is not said what amount her Majesty Christina has saved, but the amount is reported to be considerable.—Paris National. Charleston contains 13,029 white inhabitants, being an in crease over the last ten years of 201. The free coloured population is 1,561, being a loss in the same time of 546. The slaves amount. to 14,663, being 681 less than in 1830. Total loss of population since 1830-1,026. Oliver Amen, of West Bridgewater, Massachusets, com menced life by making a dozen shovels, which he took to market in a waggon. He now owns three extensive factories at Easton, Braintree, and West Bridgewater; employs 60 workmen, and has four teams to carry his shovels to market. His profits are 20,000 dollars annually. BLACK LIST.—We have a list of well-dressed and respect able-looking young rascals—some with moustaches, some without, who are in the habit of following respectable ladies through the streets, and of insulting them frequently in Broadway. One scoundrel, who is a lawyer, not far from the City Hall, followed a lady into the very parlour of the hotel where she was residing. We mean to put a stop to this business. It is high time.—New York Herald. A letter from Marseilles of the 23d inst. announces the ar rival of her Majesty the ex-Queen Regent of Spain in that city, where she was received with the utmost distinction. She would remain only a few days, and would, it was expected, proceed to Nice. Her Majesty was escorted into Marseilles by two squadrons of gendarmerie ; and a guard of honour of 100 men was to wait upon her during her residence in that city. Paris letters state that Queen Christina had brought with her out of Spain the father, mother, and brother of Munoz, her husband. SOMEWHAT ANCIENT--A ship is now on the Screw Dock, East River, that is more than 75 years of age. So it is said, and there can scarcely be a doubt of its truth. Her history, if it were known, would be curious and very interesting. Her present name is General Jackson. She has had, since first launched, no less than five names, and sailed under no less than five different flags. She has been taken by cruisers of four or five different nations, and peppered with shot more or less at each capture: She has been a whaler, a trader, and, no doubt, a packet. She is now owned in Bristol, R. 1., and has recently undergone complete repairs, coppered and what not. Take her all in all, she is a curiosity and well worth seeing. —New York Herald. THE REMAINS OF NAPOLEON.—The expense of tran sporting the Emperor's remains from Courbevoia to the Hotel des Invalides is estimated at several millions of francs. Immense preparations are on foot. The vessel carrying the coffin will arrive at Courbevoie. A triumphal arch will be there erected to receive the imperial remains, and this cere mony will take place with the utmost pomp. The cortege will enter Paris by the Barriere de I'Etoile and the Champs Elysees. Benches will be erected on the line of gassa g e, right and left, and covered with magnificent draperies. In front of the Invalides, a new road will be opened to receive the procession, and for this purpose a number of trees will come down. To aid the perspective, a flying bridge will be constructed, and will afterwards be taken down. The im mense Court of the Invalides will be entirely covered, and hung with velvet of a violet colour, (the characteristic hue of royal mourning, and will likewise be transformed by the aid of a vast number of waxlights into an enormous chapelle ardente. Twenty-four white horses of an excellent breed have been imported from Germany, and by these the hearse will be drawn. A statement in the 31agdebury and Leipsic Gazettes, that the Emperor of Austria was about to abdicate in favour of his brother, the Archduke Ferdinand, caused some surprise in Paris on Wednesday. It is hardly necessary to say, that it is totally destitute of truth. A Captain Hilliard and a Mr. Hamilton, with a brave crew, composed of English, Americans, and French Cana dians, have perf orm ed the daring feat of passing down all the dangerous and terrific rapids from Prescot, U. C., to Mon treal, L. C., in a st eam b oa t !—ce r tainly the greatest exploit ever performed on the St. Lawrence. THE KINGDOM OF LILLIPUT.—MS Majesty the King of all the Belgians has come to the desperate resolution of for tifying his kingdom, on the one side against the modern Gauls, and on the other hand against the modern Huns. All the fortresses of the kingdom are to be put into a state of defence, and it has also been decided that two camps shall be formed ; the one at Beverloo, and the other at Cantian—the one towards France, and the oth er t owar d s B russ i a ; a ll which preparations, when completed, will render les braves Beiges about as secure from invasion as if they were en trenched within the fortifications of mine Uncle Toby's far-famed paddock. -AIONTPFILIER, Oct. 21.—Queen Christina arrived here at two this afternoon. She alighted at the Hotel de Midi, and thus was within a few paces of the house occupied by Cabrera, who could see her pass along the Boulevard from the balcony in which he so much delights. She took her departure from Nismes at five. On passing the front of the Hotel de Londres, she placed herself at the window of her carriage in order to get a look at Cabrera, who was at his window, and she smiled on seeing him. Although her majesty had declared her intention of travelling incognito, the authorities waited upon her, and a picquet-guard was placed at the door of the hotel—the drums beating a salute on her arrival, and all the honours due to her rank being paid. When she departed, she was escorted by a picquet of cavalry. TIIE LUDLOW CASE.—Some a hve l apeared in one of the London papers, from letters which it muy ately beinf p erred that Mr. Mackreth has suffered as regard s his situation. We have the very best authority for stating that such Co. surmise is wholly g roundless. Messrs. C. George and C having appointed their late traveller to a situation in the house far better than that which he before occupied.—Bristol paper, .Mun.DEn.—We regret to state, that intelligence has been received here to-day (Wednesday) of a barbarous murder, perpetrated on Saturday last, in the parish of Knockando, on the banks of the Spey. The unfortunate victim was a far , - mer, Alexander Tulloch, of Crofthead of Ballintomb. His body bore evident marks of violence, and the murder is sup posed to have been committed by means of strangulation. The deceased was a widower, but his son-in-law and daugh ter lived in the same h ouse. S usp i c ion having attached to hi s son-in-law : Peter Cameron, he was apprehended ; but the constables in whose custody he was placed, having (ac cording to a report here) suffered him to retire to a different apartment than that whi c h th ey oc cupied at the time. he o pened a window, and escaped. The procurator-fiscal has offered a reward of £2O for the apprehension of the accused. It is said that the unfortunate deceased intended shortly to be married again,. in which case it i s probable Cameron would have had to quit the premises. His wife who stands in the painful relation of daughter to the murdered person, and wife to the suspected murderer, was absent on a visit to some friends at the time of the catastrophe. We trust no exer tions will be spared t o secure th e author of this atroci ous crime.—lnverness Courier. A GIGANTIC TRIO. --A few days ago, Mr. Garn, who has for some time been in the command of the Gem, Gravesend steam-packet, and who is known to be the tallest man on the r i v er Thames, was requested to measure lengths with two of his passengers, one a surgeon from the west of England, and the other a farmer of Kent, who had attracted the attention of the people on deck from their remarkable height. The passengers good-humouredlycomplied, and the united height of the three amounted to nineteen feet ; Captain Garn mea suring six feet four inches without his shoes, the surgeon six feet five inches, and the farmer six feet three inches, although he protested he was one inch higher.

THURSDAY EVENING. — The improvement in prices at Paris, and the prospect of a peace administration there, na turally re-acts upon this market. But it may be observed that, as in the fall, so in the reaction, the funds here are by no means so susceptible one way or the other as those of Paris. For the 1 per cent. fall or rise in Paris, the corre sponding movement here is scarcely above one fourth. This results naturally from the fact that the crisis touches France more nearly than this country. Consols to-day cautiously reached 87/ buyers for money, and 871 to - for account. Bank Stock 160 to 1. India Stock 242 to 4. Exchequer Bills 4s to 2s discount. FRIDAY EVENING. — ConsoIs for money advanced to 871 to 4, and for account to 88 to 4.. Bank Stock 160 to 2. Ex chequer Bills 3s. to Is. discount. The half monthly settle ment of the account was opened to-day in the Foreign Mar ket. There was no feature of importance about it. The favourable intelligence referred to yesterday had a corres ponding effect on the securities of those Spanish American states to which it related. Chile Bonds rose to 50 buyers. Colombian, after reaching 24 settled down at 234 to 4. Mexican 27 to Brazilian were 73 to 5. Dutch two-and a-half per cents 50 to 4, the five per cents 954 to Belgian 37 to 9. Spanish active with the coupons 214 to -4. Portu guese five per cents 321 to -4, the three per cents IjB4 to SATURDAY EVENING. — By the accounts from Liverpool it appears that the restriction of discounts by the branch of the Bank of England in that place, acting on the orders from home, has become extremely rigid ; so much so, that one of the richest private bankers was refused discount for bills having only a few days to run. The joint-stock banks in Manchester have raised their rate at 6 per cent., and are cur tailing accommodation as much as possible. The private bankers are more free in their loans, but demand a still higher rate, 7 per cent. having been given on the best bills, having three and four months to run, of the merchants and manufac turers, and endorsed by the joint-stock banks. This has proved, however, a great relief, and the terms have been readily submitted to, so essential is a supply at this time for the autumnal trade. Among parties of a lower class of credit the pressure has, of course, being very severe, and as high as 10 or 12 per cent. has been given on bills that would be termed good at any other time, but not bearing a banker's endorsement. A great number of short bills have been sent up by the joint-stock banks to the London bill-brokers for discount. Long bills they refuse to discount on account of the late Bank notice. Some bills were refused by a broker at a dis count of 6 per cent. and 4 per cent. commission. In the English funds a good deal of business was transacted to-day, and among the bargains closed in consols were seve ral purchases, ranging from £25,000 to £60,000 for invest ment. Business like this could not fail to support the market, which ultimately closed very firm at about yesterday's prices—namely, consols for money 871 to 4, and for the account 88 to 4. Bank stock closed 160 to 162 ; India stock 243 to 245 ; and Exchequer bills 3s. to ls. discount. The foreign stocks have been in a comparatively passive state, and prices have not materially varied. Russian is firm at 110 to 111 ; Spanish, 211 to 1' • Portuguese 5 per cents, 324 to 33; Dutch 21 per cents, 50 to 4; Colombian, 231 to ; and Mexican, 27 to / ; Chilian is quoted at the advanced price of 524. Shares of all descriptions remain much the same. Great Western are 13 to 15 premium ; Birmingham, 66 to 68 pre mium ; North Midland, 24 to 22 discount : Brighton, 134 to 134 discount; and Blackwell, 54 to 4 discount. TRIAL OF HENTY. The court-martial at Sheerness was brought to a termina tion on Saturday. Evidence to character of a very superior kind was given in favour of Henty, whose defence in writing was then submitted to the court, and read by the Judge Advocate. The verdict was to the following effect : " The court is of opinion that the first charge—namely, that of a breach of duty, is not proved. That the second charge, that of disobedience of orders, is not proved ; and that the third charge—namely, that of having on the said 2d day of October made a false report to his superior officer, Capt. Sir J. Hill, of the extent of a fire which in the after noon of that day had taken place on board the said ship Camperdown, and of the circumstances, is fully proved against the prisoner. But from the circumstances of his extraordinary good character for skill, zeal, carefulness, hu manity, and general good conduct as !It carpenter of her Majesty's navy, the court doth adjudge the said John Henty to be only severely reprimanded and admonished ; and the said John Henty is hereby severely reprimanded and admo nished accordingly." The verdibt seemed to lcause consi derable satisfaction amongst the spectators ; and the pri soner, on leaving the state-room, was warmly congratulated by all his brother officers, and many respectable inhabitants of the town. STATE OF TRADE. LANCASHIRE. — The trade in the cotton factories at Burn ley is in a moderate healthy state ; there are sixteen cotton mills in this neighbourhood, in fifteen of which the hands are working full time. The trade in the cotton mills at Padiham and Colne is much in the same state as the above; but hand. loom weavers are certainlylbetter employed than they are in the neighbourhood of Burnley. Calico block printing has not been so dull for a long time past. The silk trade at Manchester, Middleton, Failsworth, Leigh, and other towns ten miles round Manchester, is extremely brisk ; the de mand is chiefly for fine printed Satins and other printed fan cy goods. The printing upon silk wares has increased more than double during the last month.—Preston Chronicle. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS. MIDLAND COUNTIES RAILWAY. For the week ending Oct. 24 : Passengers. ....

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, OCT. 30. Sugar.—There has only been a very moderate demand, and the sales of B. P. barely reach 350 hhds. ; but in prices there is no alteration, as holders are very firm. 200 bags low Brown Bengal hold at 728 per cwt., and 330 bags of Mauritius at former prices. Foreign.—ln the early part of the week the demand was active, and the sales amounted to 140 cakes Brazil, on the spot, at 243 6d for white, and 215 6d per cwt. for brown, and a cargo of white, to arrive, at 24s 6d per cwt. deliverable here ; within the last day or two the the market has been quiet. Bonded Refined.—No sales reported. No sales reported in Molasses. Coffee.—The sales of Plantation comprise 200 cask of Jamaica; for the ordinary qualities the de mand is exceedingly limited. and prices of these sorts suffered a decline of fully is per cwt. ; the fine descriptions, however, brought previous rates. 330 bags Java were sold at the quotations, and 120 bags St. Domingo, via Cape, 445. Of Foreign, 120 bags Brazil brought 428 per cwt. No transactions are reported in Cocoa, Ginger, Pepper or Pimento. The sales in Rice consist of 26 tees.

Tea.—The market has been quiet during the week, but no altera tion► has taken place in prices ; holders are very firm, and anxiously waiting for the next accounts from China. Indigo.—Some public sales were brought forward yesterday. but the Trade showing no disposition to buy, in the face of considerable sales advertised for the 19th proximo, the bulk was withdrawn ; a few chests, however, on which there appeared no limits, sold moderately ; altogether, 22 chests Bengal sold at 48 4d to 5s 6d, and 20 chests Bombay Fig at 2s per lb.

There is a good inquiry for Montreal Pot Ashes, and the market has rather improved; 300 to 400 brls. have been sold, principally of old Ashes, but for the new import 27s 6d to 27s 9d has been obtained, with a few at 28s. Pearl Ashes are so much neglected that the quotations are almost nominal. Hides.—The market continues steady, and the only sales to report are 2000 salted Monte Video Ox at 5d to Sid per lb. Tobacco.—ln the state of our market no altera tion can be noticed; a fair business has been during the week, at steady rates, and the sales, as made up for the month, reach 1500 hhds. ; of which 600 were Virginia leaf and 300 stemmed, 120 Kentucky leaf and 430 stemmed, with a few Marylands ; of these, 330 hhds. were taken for Ireland, 250 for export, 130 for re-sale, and the remainder by the Trade, leaving our present stock 7350 hhds. against 8550 same time last year. This market for Brimstone continues in a languid state, and the sales made from time to time for consumption, only in small parcels. In Sumac no transactions worthy of notice have taken place. There has appeared rather more disposition to sell Cream of Tartar, in consequence of better supplies than of late ; small lots have brought 82s, and for 11 casks sos has been accepted. Argols dull of sale. Of flag Annatto the sales of the week are about 25 casks, at Is to Is id per lb. Nothing has been done this week in Valonia.

In Palm Oil, the sales this week ale rather under 100 tons, at £37 to £37 5s per ton ; but all from second hands ; no sales have been made for arrival. The ,itransactions in Hemp and Flax are very limtted, and for Baltic Hemp prices have tendency to decline a little. Petersburg yellow Candle Tallow has been in rather better demand this week, at a trilling reduction in price, 53s 6d having in some instances been accepted from the ship-side ; a few sales of Odessa have also been effected at 53s 6d per cwt. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, OCTOBER 31. During the last seven days we have had moderate arrivals f British Grain, Flour and Oatmeal. The foreign imports comprise 10,630 qrs. of Mediterranean and American Wheat, with 1,220 qrs. Oats, and 3,960 barrels of Flour from the United States . of these, however, only 2,285 qrs. Wheat, 87 qrs. Oats, and 99 barrels of Flour have been duty paid : the respective rates of impost are now 23s 8d per qr., los9d per qr.,and 14s 3d per brl. Of Colonial pro duce we hays received, from Canada, 19,500 barrels. Flour ad missible for home consumptson, at a duty of 3s per brl. In the early part of the week there was rather more firmness in the Wheat trade, and an advance of Id to 2d per bushel was quoted on prices generally this has since been sustained; but, at yesterday's market, which was thinly attended by buyers, the transactions were again very limited. A small lot of Irish new, very choice Clonmel, brought 9s per 701 b. Throughout the week Flour has met a languid demand at 33s to 345 per brl. for United States the latter price obtainable only for small lots of the hest brands. Canadian has been sold at 32s to 32s 6d per barrel. Though we cannot report anything like an active inquiry for new Oats and Oatmeal, the recent supplies of both have been pretty well cleared off, at 3s for choice, 2s 10d to 2s lld per 451bs for the general run of Irish Kiln-dried Oats; 25s 3d to 26s per load for Oatmeal, A little English new Barley, fine Chevalier, has brought 40s to 42s per qr., a small parcel or two of Irish kiln-dried at the same time selling at 4s 6d to 4s 8d per 601bs ; umiried 35 6d to 3s 10d per 601bs.

Beasts, 1218; Sheep 7305. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, Nov. 2. Our Butter market is in the most depressed state, and to effect sales a reduction in price, we should say of full 4s per cwt. must be submitted to. Belfast Butter of the most superior quality may be had at 100 s. (The Muffins, in au obscure Saturday print, quote the price 106,) and in all probability less money will be taken during the week. Supplies are abundant, and likely to continue so. Beef of the first respectability, as to brand may be had at 115 s to 1208. and Pork at 68s to 72s 6d. LONDON GAZ.E7T.E.-FRIDAY, OCT. 30.
