A New and Curious Invention con nected with Dental Surgery has been introduced by Mr. How ard; it is the introduction of an ENTIRELY NEW DE SCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH; fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer. They will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and pre serve the teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. The invention is of importance to many persons, and those who are interested in it, should avail themselves of this New discovery. MR.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT t A CRIPPLE SET ASIDE HIS CRUTCHES AFTER TEN YEARS' SUFFERINO.—Copy of a Letter from Mr. Thompson, Chemist, Liverpool, dated Aug. 20, 1832.—T0 Professor HoLLowAy,— Dear Sir,—l am enabled to furnish you with a most extraor dinary cure effected by your invaluable Ointment and Pills, which has astonished every person acquainted with the suf ferer. About ten years ago, Mr. W. Cnmmins, of Saltney street, in this town, was thrown from his horse, whereby he received very serious injuries; be had the best medical ad vice at the time, and was afterwards an inmate of different infirmaries, yet he grew worse, and at length a malignant running ulcer settled in his hip, which so completely crip pled him, that he could not move without crutches for nearly ten years; recently he began to use your Ointment and Pills, which have now healed the wound, strengthened his limb, and enabled him to dispense with his crutches, so that he can walk with the greatest ease, and with renewed health and vigour.—J. THOMPSON. A MOST EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF A DREADFUL SKIN DISEASE WHEN ALL MEDICAL AID HAD FAILED.—Copy of a Letter from Mr. Ilird, Draper, of Keardy, near Gainsbro', dated Marchl, 1832.—T0 Professor HOLLowAY,—Sir,—Some time since, one of my children was afflicted with dreadful erup tions over the body and limbs. I obtained the advice of several eminent surgeons and physicians, by all of whom the case was considered hopeless. At length I tried your Oint ment and Pills, and without exaggeration, the effect was mi raculous, for by persevering in their use, all the eruptions quickly disappeared, and the child was restored to perfect health. I previously lost a child from a similar complaint, and I believe, had I in I V r case adopted your medicines, she would have been saved also. I shall be happy to testify the truth of this to any inquirer.—J.

She had ulcerated wounds in her leg for many years, and latterly they increased to such an alarming extent as to defy all the usual remedies ; her health rapidly g iving way under the suffering she endured. In this dis tressing condition she had recourse to your Ointment and pills, and by the assistance of her friends, was enabled to persevere in their use, until she received a perfect cure. We have ourselves been greatly astonished at the effect upon so old a person, she being above 70 years of age. We shall be happy to satisfy any inquries as to the authenticity of this really wonderful case, either personally or by letter.—A pri vate in the Bath Police Force, also, has been perfectly cured of an old scorbutic affection in the face, after all other means , had failed. He states that it is entirely by the use of your Ointment, and speaks loudly in its praise. —We remain, dear sir, yours faithfully, (Sig ned) WALKER and Co.

SUBSCRIBERS THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER MORNING, OC WEEK WE published last week some details of the" destructive and since then affairs in general appear to have been as klmost every day, were of a gloomy character with-refer- ence to the fluctuations in the funds, which had a corres- ponding effect upon attain nere ; while business generally was almost at a stand-still, the operatives in the manufac- turing districts turning out at the very time when they should have stuck to their work, and been content with their wages. The news from Australia, on Thursday, tended to increase the disinclination to speculation, and Liverpool may be said to have had a week more of words There are naturally fears existing as to a visitation of the cholera, which has made such awful ravages in New castle and other places on the north-east coast of England. tifying to be able to report that the state of the public health in Liverpool is more than ordinarily favourable. This ought to have the effect of preventing any unneces sary fears, which are often as dangerous as the reality; but it should not prevent a due attention to those precau tions which, proper at all times, are of vital importance at a time when the epidemic is already in England, and has made its presence felt, though but slightly, even in our own locality. We have previously called attention to the most obvious methods of mitigating, if not altogether averting, the evils of the threatened scourge, and we trust that those upon whom the responsibility devolves will not be remiss in their exertions. The approach of the Ist of November, albeit it is nearly a month distant, has already produced rumours of changes in the Town Council. Some retirements are talked of, but in the majority of the wards it is expected that the re-elections will be without opposition. Our fellow-towns men, who acted so nobly at the last Parliamentary elec tion, should not forget that it is almost of equal importance to return such men to the local Parliament as will main tain the dignity of the first port in the world. Mere mob orators are out of place in such an assembly, while those who have the largest stake in the prosperity of the port are by far the fittest representatives of its interests in the Town Council. On Thursday, Mr. Alderman SIDNEY was elected Lord Mayor of London for the year to commence on the 9th of November. In his younger days he was a clerk in this town, and his brother for many years kept a boot and shoe shop in Paradise-street, at the corner of Cable-street, where his name may still be seen. On his election, Al- derman SIDNEY very properly avowed his determination not to do away with the celebrated Lord Mayor's show, an innovation which had been gravely advocated by some utilitarian Radicals, who have no regard for anything that does not bring in money. There is more of industry, integrity, and perseverance in London apprentices pro moted through the hopes raised by seeing the Lord Mayor's show, than all the proSy advice ever given by matter-of-fact Radicals• The REVISING BARRISTER has been pursuing his labours through the week on the list of voters for the borough of Liverpool. We believe that no great differ ence has been made in the reltive strength of parties but we shall publish the result when the inquiry has been brought to a conclusion. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE -..-...--.,11110.--_ FRANCE.—The Emperor and Empress arrived at St. Omer on Sunday morning, having paid a short visit to Hazebruck on their journey from Lille. Prince Jerome and Prince Napoleon were at the station to receive their Majesties, a little after 12. o'clock ; and at the half hour exactly, the train arrived. The Emperor and Empress• were conducted from the Royal saloon into the hall of the station, the rear of the Imperial cortege being brought up by a company of artil lery.. After receiving the homage of the Prefect, the Mayor, and other members of the municipality, their Majesties entered the first of the three close carriages provided for the Imperial suite, and, escorted by officers of the National Guard, proceeded to visit the camp at lid- faut. On the plain were about thirty officers of the British. army, in the full uniform of their various ranks. Among them were the Earl of Lucan, the Marquis of Worcester, Lord Bingham, Colonel Depuis, Colonel Strangways and Captain Hook. The review lasted some three hours, and there was a succession of charges with the bayonet, marching, counter marching, platoon firing, and wild and dazzling charges of cavalry, the artillery playing during the major portion of the time.. On Monday morning at eight o'clock their Majesties held a reception, and departed for Dunkirk at a quarter past eleven. Their Majesties reached Calais at half-past four on Monday afternoon. After dinner, held a reception, which occupied some three-quarters of an hour. On returning to the Imperial residence the Empress was presented with a beautiful lace robe, the joint manu facture of English and French workpeople. Their Majesties set out on Tuesday for Boulogne in a plain travelling carriage, a strong guard of cavalry heading the Imperial party, and the rear being brought up by hussars and a troop of horse artillery. At half-past three they arrived at the Calais gate, out side the town of Boulogne, and werereeeived by the mayor and corporation in an elegant tent, where the keys of the town were offered his Majesty, and several addresses pre sented. On entering Boulogne, the Emperor and Empress made a complete circuit of the town, and arrived at the sous prefecture, to dinner, at half-past six. In the evening a ball was given at the theatre by the municipal authorities. About 1500 persons were present when their Majesties entered the theatre, and their reception was enthusiastic. On Wednesday morning the Emperor inspected the docks and the new sluice bridge, and a little before one o'clock their Majesties left Boulogne by the North Rail way, for Amiens, where they arrived in the evening, and on Thursday night they reached P ar i s . A rumour had gained ground in Paris on Wednesday, that the Russian ambassador had demanded, or was about to demand, his passports. SPAIN.—The Liberalism of the new Cabinet gives its first sign in the seizure of three newspapers, the Espanol, the Diario, and the Tribune. The police had arrested the author of a number of incendiary and seditious publications which had circulated for some time in Madrid. The Madrid Gazette of the 24th announces that the question of Marshal Narvakz has been solved ; the Marshal may return to Spain when he thinks proper. The new military organization will comprise, it is said, the nomina tion of several Generals which had formed part of the Moderate Opposition. Among other appointments the Gazette contains those of General Pezuela, as Governor of Havana, and of General Pavia, as Governor of Manilla. Several civil appointments are also given. HOLLAND.—The recent storms have done tremendous damage in almost all the ports. In the vicinity of Rotter dam several dykes gave way, inundating the country to such an extent that the inhabitants had to seek refuge in their boats. The accounts from the towns and villages on the Scheldt are saddening ; the floods have in many places carried all before them—houses, cattle, the produce of the harvest, furniture, and it is too probable, many human be ings. The timber wharves along the river have greatly suffered. At Werthendam several persons are missing, and it is feared they have been carried off by the flood. Large quantities of hay have been seen floating down the Scheldt. Part of the town of Brill is under water. Fifty three trees have been thrown down in Amsterdam, and two houses in Haarlem. The inmates were buried in the ruins, but they were released in time to recover. Con siderable damage has been done in Breda. AIISTRIA. — The Emperor of Russia arrived at Olnnitz at six o'clock in the evening of the 23th ult., the Emperor of Austria having driven as far as Prerau to meet his im perial guest. The 2d infantry corps was drawn out, in parade order to receive the Emperor ; the Prince of Prussia, wearing the uniform of his Austrian regiment, together with his son, Prince Friedrich Wilhelm, being present. The conference at Olmiitz was to begin on the 26th ult. M. Titoff, the ex-Ambassador of Russia at Con stantinople, having attended in the suite of the Czar, will take part in the deliberations. Besides the Oriental diffi culty, the Kossta affair is to be discussed. It is believed that Lord Westmoreland will propose at the Olmiitz Conference the sending of another collective note to Constantinople. After his arrival at Olmiitz his lordship had an interview with Count Nesselrode and Baron Meyendorff, and was afterwards admitted to a spe cial andience by the Czar. The Czar was to leave on the 29th ult. for Odessa. Prussia, it is said, will support the views of the Britisd Cahinet respecting the modifications of the Vienna Note. M. de Goyon and other French officers at Olmiitz have met with a flattering reception from the Czar. O RllSSlA.—lntelligence from Odessa, of the 13th ult., represents the forces to be in a very active condition. Very many regiments are cantoned on the Dniester, and Bessarabia swarms with troops. The corps of General Luders has been considerably reinforced. Prince Menschikoff held a grand naval review a few days previous to the above date. The fleet numbers fifty vessels, reckoning those above the size of a gun-boat. A number of Greek sailors have been enrolled. Owing to the incessant arrivals of wheat in immense quantities from the interior, prices have gone down very considerably at Odessa. The magazines do not suffice to contain the supplies. The news that the Czar had rejected the Turkish modifications had some share in bringing about a fall of prices. The cholera is fatally prevalent at Odessa. _ TllRKEY.—Complalids of certain losses of property which Austrian subjects have suffered on Turkish soil are still pouring in upon the Austrian embassy. The indem nities demanded by Austrian subjects represent a very large sum. M. de Bruck has the most energetic instruc tions on this subject, and the Divan may expect peremp tory demands on his part, which will be even more exor bitant than the demands preferred by Count Leiningen. The Turks are concentrating an army of 100,000 men on the frontiers of Persia. The Persian and Ottoman soldiers fraternise, and large numbers of refugees, Hun garians and Italians, have joined the army. The latest accounts from Constantinople are to the 19th ult. The rejection of the amended note by Russia was known. The expected critds has not occurred, and the cabinet remains without modification. No announcement respecting the course to be next adopted by the govern ment had been made ; but fresh concessions, by the Porte, ments are continuin Tobability without intermission The =ma On the 16th, the Sultan presided over a cabinet council attended exclusively by the. Grand Vizier Mehemet Ali Pacha, and the Sheikh-ul-Is] A . Viihiegard to the calling in of the allied fleet, some mystery still exists. The general statement is that two or three ships of each squadron were thought neces- break. Whatever the caus will no doubt be to draw matte' for this step, its effect to aconclusion It is, in fact, a warlike attitude of the Porte, notwith, standing any alleged necessity, on account of the popular effervescence. By the treaty of 1841, defining the position powers, the Dardanelles Were to be closed against foreign ships of war so long as the Ottoman Porte should be at peace. The inference to be drawn from the fact that English and French frigates have passed the Dardanelles is but a "foregone conclusion." The Porte is and has been at war for some time past, by the act of Russia. The condition of the Danube at Sulina remains as bad as ever. The quantities of corn accumulating at Ibraila and Galatz are so large that the want of warehouse room is severely felt. and the labouring classes suffer acc,ordin CANADA.—TI 4 screw steam-ship Lady Eglinton, Capt Paton, which sailed from Quebec on the 17th instant reache says, the arrest of Colonel Hogarth and Captain Cameron of the 26th regiment was " upon the affidavits of thirteen soldiers, for murder committed by giving the order to fire to the two divisions of troops drawn up on the Haymarket on the 9th of June last. They put in bail, each in £3,000, and two securities (Lieutenant-Colonel Pritchard and H. Judah, Esq.) in £5OO each." _ _ 7 1 1 CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.—Our intelligence is to the 27th of August. Nothing has occurred to interrupt the peace on the frontier ; the whole of the native tribes along or within the border are stated to be quiet and submissive. The Gaikas have paid in the last of their tribute of arms. The Chief Commissioner states, "that with the exception of occasional messages and interviews with the chiefs, no coercive measures, or even threats, have been held out to enforce the surrender of the arms demanded." The governor has issued a notice (the result of the Kat River Commission) containing the names of those Kat River Hottentots who have remained loyal during the re bellion, and to whom he has restored their property ; also a list of those against whom there had been clear and sufficient evidence of rebellion, whose lands are declared to be forfeited, and commissioners have been appointed for the allotment of these and the forfeited Tambookie lands. Queenstown and other new settlements founded by Sir George Cathcart in the newly acquired territory are progressing most favourably. Considerable uneasiness has, however, been caused by a rumour that an immediate reduction of the force on the frontier is to take place, as it is generally believed that such a step would be followed by an attempt on the part of the Kaffirs to regain their position in the Amatolas. The all-engrossing topic in the colony is the coming election of members - for the Council. Of the 15 required for the Upper House not less than 28 qualified candidates have accepted requisitions to stand, and it is expected that when the elections for the Assembly commence there will be no want of candidates. . Commercial affairs have greatly improved, owing to the large demand for the Australian market, and not with standing an abundant harvest, the prices of all articles of Cape produce have increased nearly 50 per cent., and cargo after cargo is leaving this for the colonies. Sir George Clerk has reached the sovereignty. The greatest alarm is still felt there at the prospect of the abandonment of that fine territory, and the inhabitants are getting up strong representations against such a measure. A great desire has been manifested at the Cape for the pure breed of Merino sheep. Several cargoes have arrived from Europe and realised large prices, in some instances as high as £l5O for a single ram. A company has also been formed for the introduction of Angora goats. The clip of wool at Natal is said to exceed 4,000 bales. INDIA.—We have intelligence from Bombay to the 30th August. From Burmah we learn that a great scarcity of food was severely felt, even in our own possessions, and dacoity had increased in consequence ; from the latest accounts we learn that government had purchased a large quantity of rice for Rangoon, not, it would appear, before it was necessary, for in a letter from Prome of the 11th of July, it is stated some hundreds of families came in from the jungles a week or two ago in a state of starvation indescribable ;40 of them died in one night. General Godwin had left Burmah and arrived at Calcutta on the Bth inst., so that we may conclude the war is virtually at an end. General Godwin was "entertained" just before his departure by the officers of the force at Rangoon, and spoke his thanks in a few well-chosen sentences, which da honour equally to his judgment and his heart. The general is now on his way from Calcutta to Umballa, with the view of resuming command of his division—it was at first thought he would go home. The Governor-General is at Calcutta, and it is said is about to take a trip to Pegu. A rumour having got abroad that his lordship had tendered his resignation and requested to be relieved, the Hurkaru states that the " report is not correct. Lord Dalhousie has not signified to the Court of Directors any wish to be relieved from his duties. On the contrary, at the request of the court, his lordship has consented to retain office until the close of 1854 certain ; and as matters stand at present, the earliest date that could be named for the Governor-General's return to England would be January, 1855." Affairs are progressing satisfactorily in the Nizain2s dominions. Mr. Bushby, of the Bengal Civil Service, it is confidently stated, has been nominated resident at Hydera, bad in succession to Colonel Low. Viscount Falkland and his Excellency the Commander , in -Chief, it is expected, will leave Poona, where they now are,. for the hills about November next. Lord Frederick Fitzclarence had again been slightly ailing. CHINA. — We have intelligence to the 6th of Aug. At Amoy no progress seems to have been made either by the rebels or the imperialists._ It is supposed, however, that the former are receiving reinforcements, both in men and money, from their brethren in the Straits, nearly all of whom, like the rebels themselves, are members of the Thad Society. It is estimated that within a few weeks not less than 500 Chinese have returned from Singapore, summoned, it is said, by virtue of the laws of their society. We are further assured that the pirates have been assist ing the insurgents. The imperialists have likewise been recruiting, and have already despatched a large number of junks for Nanking, filled with soldiers. Admiral Pellew arrived in Hong-Kong, in H.M.SI Win chester, on the let inst. ; in his wake following the steam sloop Styx and brig Lily. Never, at any time before, has there been such an immense squadron of steam war-vessels on the coast of China as at the present time. The Amoy Triads, elated with their recent sueeesses, have sent, we learn, an expedition to Quemoy, and there is little doubt but they will succeed in driving out the Mandarins at present in charge of that island. CHYLON.—Letters from Colombo of the 25th August state that the ordinance for the establishment of mnncipal institutions in Colombo has not yet been published, but the important despatch of the Duke of Newcastle, directing that the whole establishments and expenditure of the colony be immediately brought under the supervision of the Legislative Council. The weather at Colombo is hot and dry, with a strong wind blowing. In the interior, rain is falling plentifully. We hear of no sickness of con sequence, with the exception of cholera, which lingers in the southern provinces, and of which a few cases have occurred at Matelle. The table of exports shows a defi ciency of 77;000 cwts. of coffee, as compared with last year. In cinnamon there is an excess of no less than 331,0001b5. ; and in cocoa nut oil of 129,000 gallons. The list of subscriptions to the Wellington Fund reaches a total of nearly £340. The contribution from Ceylon will probably be £5OO. The mail of the 25th July reached us on the 22d, showing that native coffee felt the effects of the prevailing uncertainty as to the preservation of peace ; that the last cinnamon sale had been unsatisfactory, and that efforts were continued to prevent the injurious effects of chicory adulteration. EGTPT. — We have intelligence from Alexandria to the 20th ult. On the 16th the Minister of Foreign Affairs came down from Alexandria to Cairo, and unexpectedly announced that the Viceroy had instructed him to com municate to the several European Consuls that from and after the 28th inst., his Highness would prohibit the expor tation of wheat, beans, maize, and barley from the port of Alexandria. The reason assigned is, that the crops are found to be short, and that the grain will be required for the consumption of the country. The general belief is that the Viceroy's object is to make a speculation by ob taining most of the grain himself; and then disposing of it at his own price. The principal European Consuls have taken energetic steps in protesting against this measure, and Mr. J. Green, acting Consul-General, convened a meeting of the British merchants, to advise as to the best steps to be taken ; and at a meeting of the consuls on the 17th it was determined to address the Minister of Foreign Affairs, with a request to defer the prohibition until the 30th of November at least, in order that they may have some time to prepare to meet their engagements ; and the minister gave them to understand that they might consider this request as granted, although the Viceroy had left Cairo, and he could not just now communicate with him. AUSTRALIA We have intelligence by the Marlborough to the 4th of July, being nearly a month later than previous advices. The import market for goods was already overstocked, and a vast proportion of those which con sisted of unsuitable articles were apparently being sacri ficed at auction at little more than nominal prices. With respect to provisions, a similar state of affairs seems to have approached.. Sales that had been made of malt liquors to arrive had been disowned by the purchasers on various pretexts, while, as regards flour, it is said there were 50,000 barrels in the port, a great portion of which, according to some accounts, would be shipped to England. The Eagle, which was to sail about the beginning of July, is said to be bringing over 6,000 barrels at a freight of about Ss. per barrel. Three hundred ships, with cargoes on board, were lying in the harbour, and meanwhile the charge for lighterage was becoming more exorbitant, 355. per ton being demanded for free, and 40s. to 455. for bonded goods. An impression seems to have prevailed in the colony that after the present arrivals, future supplies might probably be only moderate, and that hence some recovery in prices might be looked for when the roads to the mines, which had for some time been impassable, should again be opened, more especially as the accounts of the gold production were very favourable, and it was un derstood that goods were wanted there. These hopes of a more satisfactory state of affairs cannot, however, be trusted to the same extent on this side, where the con signments sent out are known to have increased week by week uninterruptedly for more than six months since the sailing of the latest vessels that had yet reached the colony. The revenue of Victoria for the quarter just ended again showed an extraordinary augmentation, and the amount of gold shipped from Port Philip alone from the Ist of January to the'27th of June, valued at £4 per oz, was £4,400,000. The price of gold was 775. 6d.. per oz, and the rate of exchange in London was 2 premium, with an expectation that it might advance to 4 premium. In the latter case it would be more profitable to send sovereigns than bills. At the same time lar g e quantities of gold dust were in course of transmission. Just before the departure of the Marlborough the Union Bank of Australia had given notice of a robbery, which had wAsed £ s. d. Arnaud, E. .... '25 0 0' Kelly, Thomas, Cook- Anderson, T.

By the UnitedSZs';uail;ieamship Atlantic, Captain West, which arrived on Wednesday, we have advices from New York to the 17th. The steam-ships Franklin, Niagara, and Artie had arrived out at New York. The Atlantic, on the 26th, passed the Arabia from Liverpool to New York, 146 miles west of Cape Clear. The yellow fever was still on the increase at Mobile, and on the decrease at New Orleans. The latest accounts from Washington state that the missions to France and China still remain open. At St. John's, New Brunswick, on the 14th, the first sod of the European and North American Railroad was turned by Lady Head, assisted by the lieutenant-governor , in the presence of about 25,000 persons. The grand pro cession of the trades, fire companies, masons, &e., accom panied by bands of music, was two miles long. Commodore Shubrick and. suite were present. The railroad company gave a lunch to the distinguished guests, &c., at which about 500 were present. A splendid display of fireworks took place in the evening, and a magnificent ball was given by the citizens, under the auspices of the company A vessel had; arrived at New Orleans with intelligence from Belize, Honduras. On the 12th of July, a party of Spaniards attacked Limas, killed a policeman, and attempted the lives of the magistrates, the collector, and the British consul. Guatemala had purchased an English schooner, with which it had captured the Honduras towns of Onira and Truxillo. Intelligence from the city of Mexico to the 4th, and Vera Cruz to the Bth inst., states that Santa Anna, assisted by Spanish agents, had raised a very fine army of 60,00 0 men. The government was making vigorous efforts to stop robberies, and several executions had taken place. More troops were being sent to the frontiers, ostensibly to repel the Indians. Santa Anna continued his high-hande d, measures, executing all persons against whom suspicio n was entertained, without warning. It was believe(' another revolution must soon follow this arbitrary, tylo° . nical course. MISCELLANY.

MONEY.—The stock market is generally firm, and in some instances an upward tendency is apparent. In in vestment securities the transactions continue light. Money is in good demand, but the supply is easy at the rates last quoted. The receipt of gold from California for the fort night amounts to $2,250,000. Export of coin, $426,956. Foreign exchanges are rather higher. The demand for bills is more active, and the supply less extensive, the lower quotations for breadstuffs from Europe having checked shipments The closing , rates are :—London 108 k to 1091; Paris, 515 to 5.- 401; Hamburg; 36# to 364; and Bremen, 794 to 79 COTTON.—(From the New York Shipping List of Sept. 21,) —The market continues very dull, but we have no change to make in our quotations.

Th—C saps daily are to a very limited extent, and DEFICIENCY OF COIN IN SYDNEY.—The inconveniellee arising from the scarcity of copper coin and of small silver money has given rise among tradespeople to a somewhat novel system of currency. Pieces of paper, called I 0 U's, are substituted by a great many shopkeepers for pennies and fourpenny pieces, and, instead of lawful money, are given to their customers as change. The facility of coun terfeiting those pieces of paper has led to a great deal of forgery.—Australian and New Zealand Gazette. PRINTING "BY EXERESS."—In the New York Exhi bition there is a new printing press which prints from uncut paper, rolling from a cylinder, and cuts and fo lds with perfect regularity 30,000 copies in an hour. There is no counteraction in the process, and consequently n° time lost in returning motion. Both sides are printed at the same time, and 30,000 per hour is a low estimate , since by increasing the speed they can be printed as fast as paper or cloth can be unrolled from a cylinder. The inventor declares that he can print one mile of newspapers as fast as a locomotive can run on a railway ! FEIGIITYIIL ACCIDENT AT GIBRALTAIL — On the 17th ult., a frightful and melancholy accident occurred, by the explosion of a powder magazine, used by the 30th Re giment, situated at the furthermost or south end of the rock at Windmill-hill. A tobacco-pipe was found neat the spot, thus indicating that the accident may have arisen, as is often the case, from the incautiousness of persons in smoking. The loss of life was very lamentable; five ant of the six men, all belonging to the 30th, who were at work in the magazine, were killed, and the sixth , the corporal (in charge), was dangerously wounded, and was not able to utter a word. He was not expected to survive. ATTEMPBD SUICIDE AT NIAGARA.—We have received a singular narration of a narrow escape of life at the Falls of Niagara. Mr. E. V. Wilson, of this city, of—lightning' rod notoriety, went to the Falls with a pariy, and among the number was Mrs. N. L. Piper (of the / firm of H. Piper and Brother). The lady at the time was labouring slightlY under a species of insanity. It was thought by her ham' band that travelling and change of air and scenery would do her good, but, unfortunately, such was not the case. Immediately upon her arrival, she was very desirous rc, see the Falls ; and, while standing on the Canada side, 1 1 ; about 20 feet from the falling sheet of water, she slipped her arm from Mr. Wilson and made a rush towards the precipice. He rushed after her, and just as she was going over, he caught hold of her dress, and by it held her clang' ling in the air. The dress gaVe way,' and she fell upon a ledge of rocks at a distance of 20 feet. As she thus 1 0' 9 Wilson, our narrative says, " with great presence of mind, looked for a soft place," and, discovering that a quantitY of loose earth was lying on the rocks, be immediately' jumped down on it. He was just in time to save her froi n : going over the main precipice. By the aid of a pair : long lines, belonging to a team close by, they were bothe drawn up together. Both suffered from some contusions, but neither were seriously hurt.— Canadian paper.

THE CEOP.—The accounts from the south are Wahl unsatisfactory, and we are receiving particulars of injuries by rain and worm from a greater portion of the cotton growing districts than at any previous time this season. It is generally conceded that the position of the crop is now two weeks later than at the corresponding period last year, owing to the recent rains having caused the plant to run too much to weed, instead of making fruit,- and thereby rendering a late fall the more necessary to ripen the lately formed bolls, At Baltimore, on Monday night, there were two days' later accounts from the south, to the following effect :—General complaint is made at the south of damage to the cotton crop from excessive rains, which tend to confirm the reports already to hand during the last few days BREA.DSTUFFS, r the influence of the European - 1 - 'Awe in flour, amountinF - Igle. per barra when a further decline of 25c. to 31c. per barrel was immediately submitted to, bringing down the price of Western Canal to $6 per barrel.

CHARLESTON, Sept 15.—The demand this week slightly improved, but no new feature to notice. The transactions amounted to 1,100 bales.

MOBILE, Sept. 9.—There is a complete stagnation, and almost an entire suspension of business in the market, owing mainly to the prevalence of fever. A few bales of the new crop were sold at prices equivalent to 91c. for middling, but the number was altogether too limited to form a basis for quotations. No freight up for Liverpool. must engage them they £lO per day demurra in the town of Lge after the first 10 days.

In addition to all this, their goods, if it ton per carefully looked after, are most unceremoniously precipi tated into a sea of mud, which is almost the chief con stituent part of `the Queen's wharf.' New houses are springing up every day, and the Americans are establish ing themselves here in considerable force. Adams and Co.. the great American carriers, have opened a branch operations in this quarter are likely to be very large. The wool season is, strictly speaking, over' here, but a few lots which have been delayed by the difficulty (still existing, of obtaining `carriage' keep dribbling in from distant statiogs, where it is probable parts of some few ' clips' will be detained till after the winter; But, even after all has been brought down and shipped, it is the almost universal opinion that the export of last ' clip' will show an actual decrease as compared with that of the previous one, instead of what the English manufacturers require—a positive increase. A very large proportion, too, of the wool this year is sent home in the grease. Prices are higher here than those which ruled at the last February sales in London ; but, considering the decrease in this year's export, the almost universal prevalence of the ' scab,' which continues to spread, and which must materially affect the quality and pretty certainly also the quantity of the coming ' clip' (the foot-rot, too, is becoming prevalent), and considering also the large orders for manu factured goods which have been sent home from those colonies, it is felt that an advance in price must still take place in the English market. _ " there is little doing in tallow. Gold is very firm at 775. per ounce, and is only to be obtained in small quan tities even at that price. The various ' diggings' continue to yield largely, but apparently not more than the colony requires for remittance in return for imports of goods and specie. The banks are charging two per cent. premium for bills on London. They purcliam- draughts against hypothecated gold or produce at par. Rents are very high. A moderate-sized store lets readily at £2,000 per annum, a respectable family house at £7OO, a four-roomed cottage at £l5O to £2OO. The cry is still for emigrants, but only for such as will work. Carpenters earn easily 20s to 25s per day, and bricklayers nearly as much ; and any man may make lOs per day on the AMERICA.. ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA By the British and North American royal mail steam ship Asia, Captain Lott, which arrived on Sunday, we have advices from New York to the 21st ult. The Asia sailed from New York at 040, p.m., on the 21st, and on the 28th, in lat. 60 46, lon. 28 26, passed the steamer Arabia, hence for New York ; and at 1, a.m., on Sunday, the Canada, hence for Boston. The Asia sighted Holyhead at 6 20 a.m., on Sunday, and arrived in the river at 9 56, a.m. The steamer Arctic, which sailed from Liverpool on the 7th, arrived at New York at 8 10, a.m.,. on the 18th ult. The Asia has brought 64 pa,ssengers, amongst whom is Mr. R. Stephenson, M.P. ; and $236,000 in specie. The steamer Hansa, from Bremen, arrived at New York on the 20th ult., with machinery damaged. She had a tedious passage of 21 days. Reports had been received of the breaking out of yel low fever at Philadelphia, but in a very mild form. The advance in the price of shipbuilding materials in the United States shows that it now costs twenty-five per cent. or more to build and equip a ship than it did a few years back. _ _ _ Orders had been received at Portsmouth for the United States squadron to proceed from the fishing coast to Phila delphia and Norfolk. The Russian, Prussian, and Austrian Ministers had filed in the state department a protest against the conduct of Captain Ingraham, the commander of the frigate which was at Smyrna at the time of Kossta's arrest. The steam-ship Golden Age, which may shortly be ex pected here, had been out on a trial trip. She is fitted up in a sumptuous style, and her breadth of beam gives ample room for between-deck accommodations, and con duces very greatly to the comfort of her passengers. She is 285 feet in length, 4.3 i feet- breadth of beam, has 32 feet depth of hold, and is 2,864 tons burthen. She has a beam-engine of somewhat peculiar construction, the dia meter of whose cylinder is 85, inches, with twelve feet length of stroke. The boilers are each forty feet in length, and are fitted up with furnaces at each end, the smoke-funnel ascending from the centre. By this arrange ment, it is claimed that economy in both space and fuel is gained. During the experimental trip, the furnace-doors stood open, while the shaft made fourteen-and-a-half turns per minute, the vessel going at the rate of thirteen knots. The hull of the ship is from the yard of Mr. William H. Brown. The lower frames are of live oak, and the top frames are of locust and cedar. The entire vessel is double diagonally braced with iron-bars, five inches: wide by three-quarters of an inch thick, and four feet apart. She is celled with eight-inch plank ; the bilge kelsons are fourteen inches square, and planked outside with six-inch plank. The steerage is fitted up with ac commodation for 600 passengers. The saloons are paneled in rose, satin, and zebra woods, with crimson and gold plush and rich hangings. In the upper saloon the sides are finished in white and gold. In this saloon are the two " family-rooms," labelled " Esperance" and "El Dorado." One is finished in gold, the other in blue. Accommodations are offered for one thousand passengers, and, at an emergency, twelve hundred persons may find reasonable quarters on board. There is a large safe on board which is intended for the storage of gold-dust during a voyage. In the purser's room is a smaller safe, for the temporary security of smaller articles belonging to the passengers. The crew numbers, when complete, one hundred and twenty men. After the Age had passed the light-ship she tacked and ran back to the Hook, when the steam-ship Atlantic, which left port at noon, showed her self at about half-past one o'clock. Captain West sent his vessel down to meet his new rival, and presently the Age fell astern, for the purpose, as it afterwards appeared, of giving the Atlantic a fair start and having a race. The Atlantic having passed nearly a length ahead, the order was given for the Age to put on steam, which she did effectually, passing the Atlantic after a race of five or ten minutes. The cutwater cast up but little spray, and the ship's wake was quiet. She will leave New York for Liverpool, whence she will sail for Australia, in connec tion with:the j' Golden Line," despatched by Messrs. Millers and Thompson, and will form the pioneer of the new line between the latter and the Pacific coast. For the present her port will be Panama ; eventually, Aca pulco or San Francisco. Advices from Mexico city to the 3d ult. state, that Santa Anna had enjoined all who have suffered from Indian depredations to present their claims to the city of Mexico. He intended to demand restitution, under the treaty of Guadaloupe Hidalgo. Men employed in digging the Tezcuco canal had found a stone case, about half a yard long and twelve inches wide, with a lid inlaid by means of well executed grooves, and which contained a variety. of Aztec antiquities. These had been sent to the National Museum.
