The following correopondenes will throw some light en the
subject of Father Mathew's obligation to the British govern-

"BOSTON, AUGUST 21, 1849.—b1y Dear Friends,—l am
deeply grateful for this kind and complimentary addreao,
presented on behalf of the Bt. Mary's Society. With the
fidelity and x al of its members in the seared cause of tem-
perance I Cave been long acquainted, and I feeljustly proud
of the proof they have given of their appreciation of my
exertions in this great movement. Whilst I beg to pretest
say heartfelt thank, te the members, collectively and indi-
yid:tally, for their generous eoetribution to extri-
cate re from pecuniary difficulties, I would be
oppressed by seek kindness, did I not feel that the
debt for which I am reeponaible is not, properly speaking,
mite ; es I have never iseurred any on my own se-
emu:. It is the debt of the temperance sociedes generally,
for whites in my anxiety to establish and sustain them, I
made muesli liable. TO Mere the creditors from los, I
eared an insurance on may life, and the pension generously
granted by the British government is appropriated to the
ptymeat of the anneal premium. My temptress: of this
pension has been a sauteed dissatisfaction to my friends,who
oestider that it has weakened my inflames with the Irish
papa. It is solely mil a view to remove this rose of
offence that I consent to become lourikerome to you, rather
than continue to Magill, the pension kindly granted by the
British goverment. I again thank you and the other
members of ISt Mary's Society, the remembrance of whose
kindlier shall be ever gratefully cherished by their obliged
sad devoted friend, " TIBOBALD MATIIRW.

TWO Max BUTFOCATZD 111 • CO•L-PIT.—An acci-
dent of a melancholy nature accurred at the Gannon coal-
works, perish of Cammack, on Tuesday, by which John
Miller and William Hastings lost their lives. They were
engaged, eloc,g with esversl others, in drawing the pumps
out of • erwl-pit. Miller was toweled down the pit on a
eciffold scispended by a reps, for the purpose of strewing off
a joint. He was heard to give • heavy groan, sad one of the
men asked if anything was the matter. He received no
*ever, and Hastings, on the impulse of the moment, slid
himself down W the sere to see if anything was wrong. He
teethed the .wield in 'slaty, bet did not returnany answer
to the *finking of those on the pit-head regarding M. ikr,
end immediately after listings was observed to fall power-
less from clam scaffold Into the water below. It was then
°beamed, hr the Amt time, that the pit was charged heavily
with euronnis asti gas,—or, as colliers term it, " choke-
dampi"--and this feet at ea* soeounted for the accident.
They *ea nammenoed to pull the scaffold (with Killer ea
it) cautiously up the pit, sad dispatched a messenger to
Cannock for medical semblance. Mr. Sharpe was in attend-
ance at the tit mouth before Miller was got out, but human
skill was of no avail. There befog at that time about 60

The published returns of the imports and exports of
Belgium for the first eight mouths of the present year
present a considerable falling off in some of the lead-
ing articles of import, u compared with the same
period of 1848. It is especially marked in the follow-
ing : Coffee, 14,023,756 kilogrammes; raw cotton,
11,338,941 lake.; wheat, 25,600,316 kilos.; rye,
8,360,156 kilos.; wool, 3,558,288 kilos.; flax,
1,965,369 kilos.; rice, 2,895,336 kilos.; salt,
18,780,818 kilos.; sow, 12,279,556 kilos.; tobacco,
3,064,535 kilos. In the following articles exported
during the same period there lea oonsiderab'e increase
as compared with the first eight months of 1848 :
Arms, 3,957,8.54 francs; coal, 938,322 tons; out iron
in pigs, 27,594 tons; 8,248,633 kilos. of refined

Letters from Patna of the 15th state that several
English 'morels had sidled for England laden with
currants, and others were loading for the same desti-
nation. In Cephalonia the recent disturbances had
greatly interrupted business, and the coasting boats
were not allowed to pars from port to port. The
' planters nevertheless encouraged the expectation of
b'gh rates ruling. At brute, however, the price had
opened fl. 9. Exchange 43 xr, which under the circum-
stances was considered rather low. At Tchesme two-
thirds of the raisin crop had been collected in good
condition, though not very larie. The price had been
fixed at 10t to 11 ff., exchange 471 xr., at which
there were more buyers than sellers, and it was
doubtful if at these prices any quantity could be ob-
tained. The prices of currants and raisins most de-
pend upon the rate of exchange, which fluctuates so
much, and the quotations in Gulden (florins) must
rise or fall accendingly. Olive oil was dull at 25 IL
The commercial advice s received by the steamer
Ca'edonia from the United States, have been read
with satisfaction, and afford evidence of a steady im-
provemeut in the fall trade in all the porta. The
cholera had so far abated, that the issue of daily bul-
letins was considered unnecessary at New York,
Philadelphia, and other cities, and nothing now re-
mained to deter arrivals from the interior of the
country. By the energetic measures of the United
States government, the projected invasion of the
island of Cuba had been effectually suppressed, and
several of the leaders of the intended expedition had
been taken and held to bail. The blockade of Round
Island, which, with a view to cut off the supply of
provisions for the force collecting there, had been
rigidly enforced for some time, bad been raised.
Owing to the int reamed receipts of bread stuffs and
provisions at all the shipping ports, the prices gene-
rally had given way, to which the decreased demand
fur export had in a measure contributed.
At New York, on the 11th, the price of cotton lad
declined, and was quoted a trifle lower, not-
withstanding the general estimate that the growing
would- not yield within 20 per cent. of the
last crop, and the confirmation of the intelligence of
the damage done to the growing cotton by the over-
flowing of the Red River. Tnis decline was more
especially ascribed to the discovery of the fact that
the actual stock of cotton in Now York exceeded by
15,000 bales the amcunt at which it was estimated

the previous week. This circumstance induced
kidders to effer more freely, but deterred speculators
from operating, and consequently the sales of the
wee( were only 6,330 bales, principally for export.
Commercial advice' from New Orleans extend to
the 2nd inst. They state that the city continued per-
fectly healthy. The receipts of produce bad been
light, and business was on a limited sale. The
favourable accounts received by the Canada from
Liverpool, and the late accounts with regard to the
maturing crop, bad imputed more firmness to the
°Atom market ; but, owing to the previous high range
of prices' no further advance bad been 'relief d. The
sales of the week embraced 3,200 bale,. Previous
quotations are repeated ; they apply to the old crop
Inferior was worth 61c. to 71c. per lb.; ordinary to
good ordinary, 71c. to 8:c ; low middling to middling,
81c. to 9;c.; good middling, 91c. to 91e. ; middling
fair, 10c. to 101 c.
The arrivals of cotton during the week were 2,037
bales, and the exports 245 bales, having a total stock
on hand on the Ist inst. of 16,480 bales against
37,401 bales at the same period last year. Tne to-
bacco market continued firm at previous rates, with
rather an upward tendency. The week's !sales con-
sisted of 300 bhda., the arrivals were 332 bhda., and
the exports 1,594 hhds., leaving a stock on hand on
the let inst. of 3,293 hhde. ; the stock on hand at the
same period last year was 14,834 hhds. Tne quota-
tions were as follow : Lugs, factory, 2c. to 3c.
per lb. ; planters' ditto, 21e. to 4c. ; leaf, infe-
rior to common, 41c. to 4/c. ; fair to fine, 61c. to
61 ; cho•ce and selections, 61 to 71 c. The receipts
of flour in the early part of the week being very
moderate, prices improved, and the bulk of the sales
were at 4 dole. 75c. for good Illinois' 4 dole. 800.
to 5 dole. for good St Louis, and 6 dole 26c. to
5 dole. 75c. for extra and choice Illinois and St.
Louis. On the Friday, howe-er, the stock on the
Levee being increased by the rather large arrivals of
the previous day, and the demand being limited, the
market clued less firmly. The stock was estimated
at 12,000 barrels. In the freight market there was
sanely &tithing offering. A British ship was laid
on for Liverpool at 40a. for heavy freight,
and 7-16 d. for cotton. Tee few disengaged ships
demanded 7-16 d. There were no Teasels loading with
tobacco either for Liverpool or London ' • the rate
nominally was 325. 6d. to London, and 30s. to Liver-
pool, but it was thought that the new engagements
would probably be at em advance. The demand for
exchange was limited and irregular, and the market
cootimued to be very poorly supplied. The rates were
quite nominal, and fluctuating aocordirg to the wants
of the moment. Sterling was quoted 9to 101 per
cent. prem., fear cs 5.20 to 6.30.
Tel. graphic despatches had reached New York
from New Orleans to the Bth. The news brought by
the Niagara bad been received. The sales of cotton
on the 6th amounted to 200 bales at full prime, in-
cluding the rew crop, from 101 to 12c. On the 7th
300 bales exchanged hands at extreme price., making
the total sales of the week 2,000 bales.
Letters from Mobile report the market without
change for cotton, of which article the stock on hand
was only 5,046. The totalexporis of cotton from Mobile
he the year ending September 1, 1849, was 539,642
bales ; receipts during the same period. 617,846 bales.
Exchange on London ranged from 1081 to 109.
From Calcutm commercial advices extend to the
7th August. The expert trade had been unusually
brisk, and the export ofn sugar during the
ounted month of
July was the largest
o record, and am to
10,000 tons. The prices bad declined from 2 to 4
sense winos the previous mail. In saltpetre some
business had been done at 2 to 4 annas decline in
price. The exports in July amounted to 41,166
maunds to England. Raw silk had given way in
price, and basin'ss in this staple appeared to be sus-
pended until the arrival of the July band. Jute could
be had on lower terms. The exports to Great B. itain
during July amounted to 45,185 maunds. In shellac
and lacdye the limited stocks had in-
vented transactions to any extent. For
cash' the demand had been active, at extreme
