Ebt liort4tiftim MONDAY, MAY 19, 1856 THE CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER iS the focus of the nation's eyes at the present moment. Tc day he Lbrings forward, in addition to the usual financial statement, the terms on which the 5,000,0001. loan has been taken, and his view of both themes will be equally instructive. The first will show us the of exact amount taxation the restoration of peace has rendered unnecessary, and the latter will give us the key note to existing state and future condition of the money market. If we had not an extraordinary amount of floating deb to fund, no large issues of Exchequer Bills to apprehend, and no re-imposition of duties on the necessaries of life—superadded to the serious depreciation which the continuance of high politi cal rates of discount must inevitably produce the interest with —to alarm the country which Sir CORNEWALL LEWIS'S disclosures looked for, would not be so intense and Made and to the has already universal large additions to the pension list ordinary cost of maintaining our army and navy by the general promotions which has taken place in both services. The civil list has also been augmented in due portion, and to all this gigantic land transport and hospital services have to be appended. Should we not hear, therefore, that the military and a naval establishment are to be reduced to a peace footing, we should not be justified in anticipating any visible remission of taxes The net revenue for the last fiscal year was 65,567,0001., and if it were possible for the CHAN- CELLOR of the EXCFII to reduce the ex ture for the current year to the extent of 25,000,0001., the income of 1855 6 would scarcely be sufficient to meet the charges which must be maintained. Our receipts for the last year were derived from a much depressed trade, as repre aen,ted by the decrease in the tonnage entered inwards and outwards. The value of our imports and expOrts was enhanced, though slightly, by war, and when prices recede to a peace level, and then to the gold and banking point, our trade returns may show far lower totals of money's worth, wherewith to support taxation, although our imports and exports will be larger in bulk It is not the fashion, however, With modern Finance Ministers to consider the influence the operations of the Exchequer have on trade and commerce. Sir CORNEWALL LE.wrs has spoken repeatedly on banking and financial subjects during the present session, but has never once made the slightest allusion to the effect his theories or plans would be likely to eral interests of the on the mercantile and ge He could not openly advocate a monetary condition, in which our Indian and most valuable Colonial and foreign bills are shut out from the commercial discount market, and left to be negotiated at compound usury. He has not community shown us, by any species of calculation, what our exporters have lust on four, six, and nine months bills drawn against the products of our industry, in order that we might see what profits we havo on our foreign trade to pay heavy State demands. For the last two years the importer has been a shade better off than the exporter—but only a shade. One has been paying from six to ten per cent. for advances on produce in bond, the other any thing his banker, or bill-broker, thought proper to demand ; and because the bankrupt Gazette has not actually assumed the dimensions of a commercial directory, the official assumption is, that trade is in a " healthly and flourishing " condition." 'Whether the CHANCELLOR o f th e w ill venture to allude to the state of trade in his speech of to-day remains to be seen. Nothing has occurred this year in the customs or excise departments to lead the public to infer that any additions will be made to the duties on tea, sugar coffee, or spirits ; yet, as revenue arise.. solely frorn consumption, Sir CORNEWALL LinVIS must feel convinced that money will be come cheaper, and -- -- -- , without loss of time, or has made tip his mind to re_ impose duties whit lz no other living mortal knows anything about. Without lowering the rates of discount, to give increased life to trade, or levying fre'3h imposts, it will be quite impossible for the right honourable baronet to show a " surplus" of - income, and without leaving a fair margin for eontingeneies with our immense establishments, ly he tho ght expedient or saA will scam, this lies the great Ministerial difficult j —not with the House of Common —for the majority of the Opposition will vo th the Cabinet on their budget and monetary policy—but with the country. Trade cannot be e4tended to anything like the limits required for revenue, while the money market continues in its present anomalous state, and discounts will not be lowered, in the face of con tetnplated deficencies in the public receipts, which the wily money-lenders, of Threadneedle street, know full well must be made up by Treasury Bonus, and Exchequer Bills, and which they will use as their excuse for continuing their excessive rates of discount These are matters which7would not be felt by the House of Commons half so much as the disso lution of Parliament. But they will fall on the public with ten-fold greater force, because they are not looked for in time of peace. Every merchant and manufacturer is calculating on a favourable change in the price of money, and they will scarcely submit to war rates of discount, added to exhorbitant taxation, when we have no enemy in the field to fight, nor a foe on earth to fear. The 7,000,0001. the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposes to raise, on Loan and Treasury Bonds, may carry us over the year ; but what will the defi ciency, for which we shall have to provide, in the first quarter of 1857 amount to ? When we hear a statement of the reductions proposed in the expenditure, we shall be better able to judge of the reliance to be placed on the figures which are about to be employed. Getting the loan con tracted for before they were subjected to public criticism was, no doubt, thought advisable, as it was foreseen that the Budget would have a depress. ing effect on the Stock Market. Should this prove to be a correct surmise, the discontent of the sub scribers to the loan will know no bounds ; and taking the actual commercial and financial con dition of the country into account, we believe the revelations the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER will make this day will startle the uninitiated, and surpass in importance any financial statement recorded since the ever memorable 1825, when a heavy State expenditure was first added, with its full force, to a deranged and restricted money market MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL, LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING The Liverpool Cotton Market has been quiet, and the sales do not exceed 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 have been taken for speculation and export. The Share Market has presented no new feature, and prices are without material change. During the past week the importations of the precious metal have been large; they comprise 1,567/, from the Peninsula, per the Sultan ; 200,000 from Melbourne, by the Ocean Chief ; 208,911/. from New York, by the Africa; and 40,0001. by the Arago, 6,5001. from the Brazils, by the Avon, and 225,0001. from the West Indies and the Pacific, by the Parana, making a total of about 681,478/. The exports have amounted to about 144 5001, namely, 64.500/. in gold and silver coin to Ham burg and Belgium, through the London Custom house, and about 60,000/. to France, through private hands. - The following is the official return of the exports of the precious metals from the port of London for the week ending 9th May :—Gold coin to Ham burg, 1,837 OZ3. ; do. Belgium, 1,200 ozs • total gold, 3,037 ozs. Silver coin to Rotterdam, 400 ozs. ; do. Hamburg, 1,100 ozs.; silver bars to Ham burg, 73,309 ; total silver, 74,809 ozs. The royal mail steamer Avon, from South a, arrived yesterday with dates from Buenos Ayres to the 3rd April, and 0,5001 specie, besides 40,0001 value of diamonds on freight. The com mercial and' financial review of the previous month was more satisfactory than in January and February. The markets generally presented a more animated and healthy aspect ; payments were more punctual, and confidence was once more in the ascendant. Imported articles were still abundant, and the supplies having diminished a better state of trade was anticipated. In the wholesale department a large trade had been done, princi pally for local consumption. The business of the previous months having been postponed, there was an unusual degree of activity in the trade with the interior, which was, however, not regarded as a symptom of decided improve ment. In export produce, stocks on hand were generally insufficient to meet pending contracts, with the exception of wool. The news of the probable re-establishment of peace had deranged both financial and commercial operations with Europe. The money market was in a very uncer tain state. merle An adjourned meeting of the creditors of Messr Leers, Walker, and Co.:took place yesterday7L offer was made by the firm of 4s in the pound, but the committee thought the estate would not realise more than 3s. After some discussion it was stated by one party, that with judicious management, Os or 7s in the pound could be realised from the Accordingly, it was agreed that three inspectors should be appointed to examine the books, to superintend the realisation of the effects, and report thereon within four calendar assets months In the Mincing-lane market this week a mode rate business has been done, and at steady prices. For sugar there has been a good general demand at an advance of fully Gd. per cwt. The stock of this article in London at the end of last week was 49,776 tons against 42 373. Coffee has been in fair demand at rather firmer quotations. Cocoa has been taken freely at an improvement of 3s. to 4s. per cwt. Tea has been dull, rum heavy, and salt- petre rather flatter. Spices have been generally lower, but African- ginger may be given as an exception, having been rather dearer. 'Callow was in request early in the week, but the market has since become quieter. In indigo sales, for which 9,262 chests are declared, have proceeded heavily, fine shipping Bengal being 61 to 8d , and middling to good 4d. to Gd, per lb. lower than at the last sales. The wool auctions have progressed with animation, and the advanced quotations realised at the commencement of the series have been slightly exceeded. The following are the Gazette average prices of Muscovado sugar, for the week ending May 13, 1856, exclusive of customs' duties payable thereon, on the importation thereof into Great Britain : From the West Indies, 28s Oid per cwt ; from the Mauritius, 29s 84(1; from the East Indies, 29s 8d per cwt ; average price of the three foregoing descriptions, 28s 53 ; d _per cwt. Of the London Stock Market,, v, o quote the following report for the week from the circular of Mr. W. Avens : The Money Market has on the whole been somewhat easier, so far as regards the mercantile demand, cases having occurred of discounts having been obtained slightly under the bank minimum. But in the general market owing to the requirement of a deposit of £lO per cent upon all applications for allotments in the new loan, and to the demand upon the Stock Exchange in connection with the Railway and Foreign Settlements, there has been great tightness. In fact, the demand in these respects has been very heavy. At the same time there is something like a general anticipa tion that the continued arrivals of specie, both from Australia and the United States, the expected cessation of exports to the East, and the return of the surplus deposits upon the loan applications, will lead to an easy market for the next two or three weeks. The explanations at the Treasury by the Chancellor of the Exchequer respecting the financial position of the government in relation to the loan on Tuesday, proved highly satisfactory. No more Consols beyond £5,000,000 are to be created, whilst with an issue of Exchequer bonds or bills to the amount of £2,000,000, either at the end of this year or in the first quarter of the next, the receipts and (xpenditure of the country will he balanced. These assurances, made officially, have streogtbened all descriptions of public securities. The subscriptions to the new loan closed yesterday. They far exceeded the amount required. The biddings are to be made on Monday morning. Consols which closed on Saturday at 53k to : 1-, advanced immediately after the state- ment on the part of the government; and the market has sinceleen buoyant, with an improving tendency. Last night they closed at 948 to for the account, having opened at g3l-to ; and the tone genera ll y h as b een favourable to the operations of those who hare had transactions in anticipa- Pailway shares have also improved, some to and the market remains firm at the —.ek. ,Joint stock banks and to some extent, but the scarc3y been maintained in all cases. e eaten niiseell have advance improver T o -d a y Consols 4.ave lic.Tn steady, and the advance which took place yesterday has been toler ably well maintained, notwithstanding several fluctuations. They opened at 9-1 to 1, but upon 1E flOl course, servant, some considerable sales they drooped to 931 to 94. Afterwards they recovered to the opening price, partly in consequence of purchases, and partly in consequence of the arrival of a considerable amount of specie by the Arest India steamer. Subse quently an influential dealer sold largely, and quotations again declined; but before the close the market rallied, and they finally left off at 9-1 to 4-. It is considered that the prices of this day will regulate the biddings for the loan on Monday. The scrip of the new loan is 1-1 to Z- prem. Ex chequer bills have again declined; The June descriptions are lOs to 5s discount. The Railway Market is weaker than yesterday, in consequence of a pressure of sales. The principal decline has been in Midland, Great Western, South Eastern, and Sambre and Meuse. The market for all other descriptions of securities is generally weaker, and business has been very languid, owing probably to the thin attendance of members. The West - India mail steamer has brought 180,0001. in specie. This raises the im ports since yesterday week to an aggregate of 827,0001. The noon quotations of the French Three per Cents upon the Paris Bourse to day was 75f 45e; the market exhibited great steadiness. THE ACCUMULATION OF SMALL COMPASS ERRORS IN WOODEN SHIPS. Liverpool Compass Committee, 40, Tower-buildings East, • May 15, 1856. THO3IAS COURT, Esq., Secretary to the Liverpool Underwriters'Association. Dear Sir,—Some months since I ventured to call your attention to the fact, that while the " variation " in the Irish Channel between Wales and Ireland was slightly less than two and a quarter points of the compass, the general practice with shipmasters and pilots was to allow two and a half points. I find, by inquiry, that in many cases this allowance is still made, and, in some instances, even as much as two points and three-quarters. It will be easy to show that though on some courses such an allowance for compass error may be quite correct, it is most unsafe to attribute so much to " variation," and allow it on every That the remarks I am about to make in elucidation of this and some associated topics may be generally intelligible, allow me to explain that though some per sons use the terms variation of the compass and deviation of the compass as if they were of the same meaning, the well-informed seaman makes a great distinction between the two, and for the following reasons : The error from variation arises from the magnetic north not coinciding with the true north ; and, as this affects every point of the compass to the same extent, the allowance for it, whatever be the direction of the ship's bead, is always the same at the same place and time. It is quite independent of the position of the ship. Not so with deviation, which is caused by iron on board the ship, and which varies in amount with her position, but in so regular and simple a manner that its changes may easily he understood. On whichever side of the compass the disturbing cause is situated, it will be seen that, as the ship turns round, the compass and it alter their relative bearings. Let it be supposed that the disturbing piece or pieces of iron are towards the stern, aft of the compass, then when the ship's head is north the disturbing cause will be south, when her head is east the iron will be west, and so on throughout the whole circuit—taking in succession every possible horizontal direction. Now, though we may conceive the disturbing cause to exercise the same energy in each of these directions, it does not act with the same leverage, with the same mechanical advan tage in each, and therefore does not produce the same effect on the compass needle. When its attraction is in the same direction as the needle, or when it is north or south of the compass card, no deflection of the needle is pr s duced. When it acts at right angles to the observed direction of the needle, it causes the greatet deviation. The general effect of iron, aft and below the compass, (the case we are contemplating,) is this :—When the ship's head bears north, there is no error; as it turns easterly, the iron efts turns westerly, and, in north lati tudes, attracting the north end of the needle, causes westerly deviation, producing its greatest effect when the ship's head bears east. The deviation then decreases, slowly at first, afterwards more and more rapidly, till her head is south, when again there is no error. The ship still turning round to the westward, the disturbing iron is carried eastward, and draws the north end of the needle :0 the east, now producing easterly deviation ; arriving at its greatest, when the ship's head shows west, and again decreasing, until she regains her original position. In few words, we see that iron aft and below the level of the compa s produces westerly deviation, that is, takes a vessel to the left of her course when her head is easterly ; and produces easterly deviation, causing a vessel to trend to the right of her course when her head is westerly. To state the result yet snore briefly, its effect is always to take the ship to the north of her course and to the greatest extent when her head hears due east or west. A walk round our docks will show that many ships have a considerable amount of iron in the position we have supposed. Without venturing at present to estimate the amount of its action, I merely ask you to remember that with the ship's head westerly, its tendency, like too large an allowance for variation, is to take a vessel to the right of her course. • But it will also be seen by any one who visits our shipping, that nine out of ten ships have long and more or less massive horizontal iron spindles connected with the steering apparatus : in some cases at a higher and some at a lower level than the compass card ; and I pro ceed to draw your attention to the action of such bars upon the compass. Now these bars, and in fact the fore and aft horizontal portion of all the iron in the ship, produces an effect which has been aptly termed " quadrantal" (for the reason that it changes its char acter in each quadrant of the compass), and produces easterly deviation when the ship's head is between N. and E. ; westerly deviation when between E. and S. ; easterly diviation again when the ships head is between S. and W. ; and again westerly in the remaining quad rant. It is worthy of remark that this deviation is independent of locality, and has the same effect at the equator as at the pole. As before, I will not attempt t o es ti ma t e th e amount of this kind of error, but only direct your attention to the fact, that in two quadrants of the compass it will tend to decrease, and in the other two to aggravate, those deviations which arise from iron situated aft and below the compass. There is another cause of error which must be men tioned here, though it does not affect so large a number of ships as the preceding. I allude to the double binnacle. In many cases where these are used the compasses are placed so close as to disturb each other, and the result is a quadrantal error of precisely the opposite kind to that arising fr,m fore and aft i-on ; but, like it, alternately increasing and decreasing the errors due to that cause of deviation which was first discussed. These remarks convey but a very imperfeet idea of the " compass question," they should be taken in the re stricted sense in which they are given, and as illustrating the possible accumulation of small errors ; but I would protest against their being received as merely theoretical, for they are the result of ample and practical experience. My desire is to briefly state as much as may enable any one, who will give the subject a little attention, to un derstand the nature of the deviations likely to arise from the iron fittings about the rudder and steering apparatus on board wooden ships. When deviations occur in our merchant ships, which do not arise from iro cargo. the cause is almost invariably found in this direction, and the errors are consequently of the opposite kind to those observed in men-of-war. [ This should be borne in mind by persons reading different works which have been published on compass deviations, in which the observations have been mostly derived from officers of the royal navy.] The recent loss of a noble vessel, happily without the horrors which usually attend the wreck of an emigrant ship, will, no doubt, give some interest to the discussion of those compass errors which are usual on board woolen ships. I hope the few remarks I have made may be sufficient to enable most persons to rightly estimate any facts bearing on this subject, which may be ascer tained in relation to the ship in question, and that they may induce those seamen who have not yet fully con sidered the matter, to give it the attention its importance demands. I am aware of the contempt the seaman has for small compass errors, and the general belief that no course can be depended upon within " a quarter of a point or so." This belief is a good reason why the greatest accuracy should, at the least, be attempted. True, small errors frequently compensate each other ; but when this is not the case—when they all fall in the same direc tion (as must unfortunately be the case sometimes, and nowhere with worse results than in the Irish Channel) —when to a" quarter point " easterly deviation, arising from wrong allowance for variation, and another "quar ter point" or more of easterly deviation, from iron aft'and below the compass, is added a trifle of easterly devi a ti on, from the spindle of the steering wheel being within eighteen inches or so of the compass card, these small deviations may not be safely neglected. In fact, a full acquaintance with those compass errors which are pro bable or even possible, cannot be too soon or perfectly acquired by those whose business is upon the sea. Cer tain it is that casualties often occur to ships while steering courses on which these small errors accumulate ; and we not unfreauently hear of cases in which a fatal catastrophe was imminent, and only averted by the merest accident—a timely look-out, the appearance of a light in an unusuat direction, a change of wind, or the opportune break of day. My letter has extended to greater length than I anticipated, but I trust the subject and its occasion will be sufficient excuse. —Believe me, dear sir, your obedient W. W. RUNDELL, Secretary Liverpool Compass Committe. FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT) T Ft N TIMES.-..LIVISRPOOL, MONDAY, MAY 19, 1883 PARIS FRIDAY EVENING A decree in the Moniteur re-establishes pensions for the performers of the Grand Opera who, it is known, are in the pay of the Civil List, that is of the Emperor. These pensions are on a very liberal scale, aril the Emperor is to contribute £BOO a year to the fund for them, besides granting that fund other advantages. I am told that M. Uzuelli, the well known banker of London, proposed very recently to grant a prize of £5O for the best essay on the advantages of peace, and asked the French ecademy (Academie Francaise) in this city to undertake to judge the essays sent in ; but, if I am correctly informed, the Academy has, through M. Villemain, politely declined to comply with his request, on the ground that the late peace is not of such a nature as is likely to be of long duration, and that, consequently, it would be rather ludicrous to preach up the advan tages of peace. This reply is meant as a covert attack on the government In consequence of the representations made to it, the government, I am assured, seriously con templates closing all the private telegraphic offices, and also those which supply lithographic correspondence to the provincial papers. This would be another blow at the press, and would deprive more French journalists of their means of livelihood. M. Thiers, I am told, is as bitterly opposed as ever to the fusion of the two branches of the Bourbon family. The Constitutionnel announces to-day the retire ment of its prine,ipal editor, M. Cucheval Clarigny. 111-health is the pretext put forward, but the real reason is that he failed to satisfy the government, and so the proprietors were obliged to pay him 1,200 to get him to resign. His successor is M. Renee, a gentleman not heretofore connected with the press, but a writer in reviews, and author of a continuation of Sismonde. He has held for some time the post of Secretary to ono of the great Court dignataries, and is said to have extensive political relations. I have heard tho - t:te correspondent of one of the London morning papers, sent off yester day, in hot haste, an account of a sort of attack having been made on the Emperor on the Boulevards, a man having thrown his hat at him, and been, of course, immediately hauled off to prison by the police. Your cotemporary's corres pondent has fallen into a terrible mistake--the Emperor was, I believe, not on the Boulevards at all yesterday, and, therefore, the personage he took for the Emperor was the Archduke Maximillian of Austria, who descended the Boulevards, in one of the Emperor's carriages, accompanied by the Prince Napoleon, and escorted by guides, between six and seven o'clock. I, myself, saw him just after sending my letter to the post-office. The presence of the Archduke affords great pleasure in courtly circles. Courtiers, of course, admire him immenseley; but from what I hear he belongs to the class vulgarly called " spoony." He has a long lank face,:and wears a flaunting uniform with tremendous epaulettes. The young man is, it soems, in his own country, nothing less than Lord High Admiral. The German papers confirm what was said a few days ago as to Lord Clarendon having issued a circular to English diplomatic agents, explaining the views the English Govern , ment takes of the treaty of peace, and insisting earnestly on something being done for the relief of Italy. These papers add that the Austrian government is about to issue a diplomatic circular, declaring that it is in perfect accord with France as to all that is / to be done for that unfortunate country. WEST INDIA MAILS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 17. The Royal Mail Company's steamship, Parana, Captain A. Wilson, arrive(' this morning, at eight o'clock a.m., with the usual West India mails. The latest dates brought by the Parana are Grey Town, April 20; Nassau and Colon, April 23; earthagena, April 25; Demerara, April 26 ; Jamaica, Trinidad, and Grenada, April 27; Bar badoes, April 28; Jacaiel, April 29; Antigua and St. Kitts, April 30; Porto Rico and St. Thomas, May 1. The Parana brings one hundred and thirty-seven passengers, among whom are the following : Hon. H. Edwards and Mr. Liggins, from Antigua • Lieu tenant-Colonel Deverell, 67th Regi men t, f rom Barbadoes ; Commander Coryton, R.N., and Dr. Macintosh. from Jamaica ; Contess de Richeborg, from St. Thomas ; General Herrera and Colonel Guido, from Valparaiso ; and Dr. Baylie, late mayor of Geelong, Australia. On freight the Parana brings 411,264 dollars in silver, 412,395 dollars in gold and gold dust; 77,565 dollars in specie; 17,940 dollars in Plata pina, and 5,550 dollars pearls. Her cargo also comprises 505 serons cochineal, 21 bales jalapa, 198 serons bark, 49 serons sarsaparilla, 76 serons cascarilla, 7 boxes tortoise-shell, 7 boxes succades, 16 boxes copper ore, and 55 packages sardines. The Jamaica papers give the most deplorable accounts of the res Ills of recent heavy rains. From the p trish of St. Thomas in the East, we learn that the roads are in some parts frightfully cut up—blocks of stone being washed away, and large ruts being formed in many places. Many of the pens on the road have been entirely flooded, and the rivers in the interior have overflowed their banks, carrying away in their violence, cattle, waggonQ, ploughs, carts, pegs, and goats. 4 There was a severe shock of earthquake felt in Kingston at about half-past ten on Sunday night the 20,h April, immediately preceded by low mutt er i ng th un d er an d f ast flashing lightning, with a deep and hollow moaning. A great part of the centre aisle of the old and venerable parish church has sunken to an enormous depth, including the magistrates' pew, and the pews adjacent. Many of the ancient tombs of the mouldering dead have also fallen ir, and in several places the walls of the sacred building have been cracked. A widely propagated rumour, which was generally believed, prevailed, that Sir flenry Barkley, the governor, was about to leave the seat of his government to return to his native country. Intelligence from Nicaragua, by telegraph, via Panama, states that Greytown was blockaded by the British ship Eurydice on the 20th ultimo. The steamers Isabel and Charles Morgan had reached Greytown from New Orleans, and landed 500 men f)r Walker. A brig from New Orleans was expected at Greytown for Walker, and would be stopped :on her arrival by the Eurydice. The 'United States steamers Fulton and Merrimac, with her Britannic Majesty's steamer Termagant, were daily expected, with two French ships to join the blockade. In the Santa Rosa fight Walker lost twenty-six men, and Costa Rica fifteen men and four officers. President Mora invaded Nicaragua with 2 500 men, and was to attack Walker in Rivas about the 19th ultimo. Two thousand men left Cogutipeque, Salvador, on the 14th to help Costa Rica. We learn from Islay (Peru) that Mr. Gibson's (the American consul) residence was attacked and fired into by the soldiers. It appears that some persons, wishing to overthrow Castilliou's government, entered Islay, and bribed the soldiers, who, however, informed the authori ties. The rioters were ordered to be apprehended, and one of them rushed into Mr. Gibson's house for protection. The soldiers, without asking Mr. Gibson to deliver him up, fired volley after volley into the premises, which were rid dled with balls in every direction. They rushed into the house, firing as they proceeded, and never desisted until Mr. Gibson threw down a French flag amongst them. The Trelaway Journal gives the following appalling account of another horrible spectacle at an execution : The extreme penalty of the law was carried into affect on the persons of Charles Sinclair, and Jane Sinclair his wife. These unfortunate creatures were convicted far the murder of one Ann Burton, an aged person—and their neighbour, chiefly on the evidence given at the trial by their own children one a boy of about seven or eight years of age, and the other a girl of tender years. 'I he former testified that whilst his mother held the murdered women's hands behind her back, her father stuck her with a knife, and also used a bayonet. The girl stated that the bayonet was buried by her father, and it wee subsequently found after she had given the information. The evidence appeared to every one so conclusive that there was not even the shadow of a doubt upon the minds of any of those persons who were present at the trial. Yet in the face of such evidence, Charles Sinclair, and Jane Sinclair, have both declared their innocence even up to the last moment of their existence .As those who delight in poring over a recital of the sufferings it is not our intention to indulge the morbid tasteof of those who die by the hands of the legalize murderer we shall close this narrative by merely adverting to an accident that happened to the male prisoner—the rope broke, and when all was aga in prepared to destroy life, the tin ro t t un ate man, with the rope round his eec's a second time (the wife they hanged bef , re him), his palsied fram e rest i ng on the scaffold, declared t 3 all present that he was suffering unjustly, aed wee innocent—that he had never stolen any thing, far less to hr .e committed a murder. Charles Sinclair and Jane Sinelar have Loth gone 'to that bourne from whence vo traveller returns—but who is there living shall declare them murderers—or the murdered AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA. The British and North American royal mail steamer Arabia, Captain Stone, - arrived in the Mersey early yesterday morning from Boston and Halifax, bringing 142 passengers, and 190,5721. sterling in specie. The steamer America, from Liverpool, had arrived out at Halifax, and the Edinburgh, from Glasgow, had arrived out at New York. By the Arabia we have received our files of papers from New York to the Gth ; Boston, the 7th ; and Halifax to the Bth instant, all inclusive. The accounts from New York are only three days later than those published on Friday, and do not embrace much news of importance. The papers were chiefly filled with details of Walker's defeat, and the recent riot at Panama, the facts connected with whieh are already known. With reference to the Central American question, there was a good .deal of anxiety to learn whether the American government would acknowledge the government of General Walker. Some portion of the press advocated its so doing, whilst the more respectable portion as strongly denounced the proposition. It appears that General Walker had sent a minister to Washington, and his arrival there is announced, and it was thought that some outside pressure would be brought to bear upon the President, to induce him to recognise him. The Washington correspondent of the Herald telegraphs :—" A distinguished functionary of the government informed me today that our govern ment would recognize Gen. Walker, and that the new Nicaragua Minister, who is supposed to be in New York, or en route for Washington, would be recognised. The president's private secretary, Webster, left here this evening for your city, on business, as I am informed, in connection with our Central American Affairs." Another cor respondent says :—" The President and mem bers of the Cabinet held a consultation yes terday on Nicaraguan affairs. It is thought the outside pressure will compel the administration to receive the new Minister, who arrived in Wash ington last evening. Mr. Soule, in his speech at the New Orleans meeting, on•the 28th nit., announced with much positiveness that our government would recognise that of General Walker." With reference to the British Minister we find the following in the New York Tribune : " Mr. Crampton has said to a foreign minister here, that the reply of the British Government to Secretary Marcy's demand will not be as satis factory as the United States expect. If this opinion be well founded, it is not improbable that he may have his passports at an early-day, the answer is expected by the next arrival." The growing crops throughout the entire of the United States, are represented as most flourishing, and from present appearances, the forthcoming yield of breadstuffs will be the largest ever known in the United States. The prospect of a good sugar crop in Louisiana is very poor. The severity of the winter killed both seed and plant-cane to a great extent, and though an attempt has been made to get cane from Cuba for planting, only three ship loads have been obtained—the Spanish government (from selfish motives purely,) inter dicting further shipment. The sugar planters upon the highlands between Bayou Sara and Baton Rouge, being utterly unable to get cane, have planted their fields with cotton. In the House of Representives, on the sth, the following resolution was submitted by Mr. Cling man : I 'That for the better protection of the persons and property of American citizens under the law of nations, and as secured by existing treaty stipulations, with reference to the thoroughfares or lines of travel between the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the President be, and is hereby authorised to employ any part of the land or naval forces of the country, and call for and use any number of volunteers that may be necessary to provide for the safety of passengers and others of our citizens in those localities, and such forces may be used by him in aid of the local authorities or other wise to insure the observance of such rights as the govern ment of the United States and citizens may be entitled to enjoy- The steamer Illinois had arrived at New York, with 2,000,000 dollars in gold dust, from California The News is unimportant. Business prospects look gloomy in San Francisco, and the unprece dented dry weather had left the majority of the miners without water, and necessarily without work. The gold product must, consequently, be small for a few months to come. In Oregon and Washington Territories, the difficulties with the Indians seem to be rather on the increase, and the red men were becoming more daring. A party of about eight hundred had attacked the Cascades, in Northern Oregon, and burnt down the place, together with the steamer Mary. Two or three engagements had taken place, in which the Indians were compelled to retreat to the mountains, with considerable loss. We have Newfoundland accounts to the 25th ult from Fortune Bay, and from St. Pierre to the 27th. They report that the mail packet at St. Pierre was so much injured by the ice on her last passage, that the governor had ordered one of the men of war to take her mails to Halifax. The vessel was to sail on the 28th. There were two hundred sail of French fishermen at St. Pierre, waiting for bait, as herring could not be obtained, there being so much ice in the harbour. Captain Rich reports that there has not been so small a catch of herring on the coast of Newfoundland for many years, the bays and harbours having been so full of ice. Herring were selling at St. Pierre, at 35 francs per barrel. There is now but little ice in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The commercial accounts continue favourable. On the sth in New York the demand for money was less active, and loans were more readily obtained on good business paper. Notwithstand ing the heavy export of specie, the reserve held by the New York banks was nearly 13,000,000 dollars. The transactions in the stock market were on a moderate scale, and prices were generally well sustained. The rates of Exchange on London continued high and restricted business. The quotations ranged from 100 k to 110. The cotton market had become suddenly quiet, and prices had receded half a .cent per pound. In breadstuffs there was a moderate business doing at full prices. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. MONEY AND STOCKS : There has been much agitation in our Stock Market since our advices of the 29th April. The large shipments during the week, and the withdrawal of some of the country balances, have caused our banks to reduco their lines of discount and loans, at a moment when speculation had awakened to more activity. .This measure on the part of the banks has caused some operators a want of money which com pelled forced sales, resulting in a heavy fall on most of the railway stocks, and especially on those which had been the object of speculation. This depression was followed by a reaction, but a decline on last week's prices. State stocks have been but little affected by the above movement. Securities for permanent investment remain generally very quiet, principally railroad bonds. CO WON. The cotton market in this city has suddenly become quiet, the demand has slackened, the buoyant feeling which has pre vailed so long is checked, and prices lower, It is difficult to account satisfactorily for this entire change of feeling. The crop views remain unchanged, and 3,00,000 bales will be realized. The planting season so fir, though not bad, is not particularly favourable. The foreign accounts per Persia were encouraging tor the continuance of a large consumption. Breadstuffs were comparatively cheap, and money, though at a high rate, could easily he obtained. The only solution I can conceive, therefore, for the change, is that throughout the past season the movement in cotton has been entirely governed by opinion, which being favourable, was encouraged by the falling off in the receipts in the ports in January, and again by the acceptance on the part of Russ , a of tie propositions for peace which reached us at the time the receipts at the ports were the heaviest, aided as it was by the aithance in the Liverpool market, Again, upon the conclusion of peace, a further mill , petus was given to speculation. These combined circumstances have kept the markets in this country consideral4 in,advance of Liverpool, and it was with feelings of certainty that the generality of operators looked farward to the Persia bringing a large advance, it being thought that prices in Liverpool must of necessity be rapidly forced up to 7d per lb for middling Orleans, We are in possession of the accounts per Persia; the sales wets as largo as could have been expected, the isdvance is less than hoped for—hence the disappointmeat, the more particu larly since the excitement in Liverpool has already partially ' subsided. This feeliafi, of disappointment is not confined to New Yorl; ; it appears to have been simultaneous in almost c.very market in the country. The further movement on this side will, for the remainder of the season, he governed entirely by the course of the L'verpool market.
