INDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOV. 13, 1846. [3d.

'o. 6 4.]

rending sight around us, the soldiers are in high spirits
this morning, on account of our brilliant victory ; and
well we may be, for when wo commenced we never ex-
pected to gain it. The bristling fortifications looked al-
most impregnable. But I am called on by the sergeant
to go to work and to bury the dead, so I must close far the I
present."
(From the Richmond Whig, Oct. 20.)
" Lieutenant-Colonel M'Clung, of Mississippi, who was
severely wounded in the attack of Monterey, it will be seen,
has died of his wounds, We take him to be Alexander IL
M'Clung, of Jackson, bli,sissippi, who was marshal of the
Eastern district, having received his appointment from
General Harrison. If so, he was a nephew of the late Chief
Justice Marshall, and fell heir to a large portion of the
talent whieh has rendered that family one of the most re-
markable we ever knew. He was a lawyer of full practice,
and was widely known for his undaunted courage and open
disposition. We learn from an officer in the army, that
those officers wbo fell at Monterey were among the very
flower of the service."
(From the Richmond Inquirer, Oct. 20.)
" We had the pleasure, yesterday, of meeting that gallant
officer, Captain Thornton, of the United States Dragoons,
and native of Virginia, who goes on to Washington this
morning to obtain permission to be sent to the army in
Mexico. in whose frorious achievements he ardently desires
to participate. He came over from the Rio Grande with
Captain Eaton, the bearer of dispatches from General
Taylor, and gave us some interesting details of the battles
of Monterey. It seems that the Mexicans expected General
Taylor by the road from China, but he changed his route,
and approached Monterey by the road from Ceeralvo.
They had fortified the town in the former direction. This
deceived General Taylor, and produced the great havoc among
our troops in the streets of that portion of the town. We
understand that the streets were barricaded with strong
stone and mortar fortifications, forming almost a perfect
defence, and giving the Mexicans an opportunity to assail
our troops with murderous effect. Captain Thornton thinks
that there will he yet considerable fighting, but that it will
be principally of the guerilla character. The Mexicans with
their tough, shaggy ponies, and their havresaes, containing
corn and salt, as their only provisions, can bear great hard-
ships, and annoy us a good deal. Captain Thornton
was a prisoner in the house of Ampudia, at Matamoras.
He says that Ampudia was the first man he saw after the
battle of the oth of May. Ampudia pointed out to Captain
Thornton his saddle, perforated with two bullet holes; hut
they were in the rear of the saddle, and it was very plain
that they were fired when Ampudia was with his back and
not his' face to the foe." When Ampudia reached Meta-
mores, he publicly proclaimed that Arista had betrayed the
Mexican army in the two engagements on the Rio Grande.
We have only time to wish Captain Thornton success in his
laudable mission to Washington city. Such men ought not
to be allowed to remain idle, when their country needs their
services so much."

WOOLLEN MANIIFACTUREB.—A decision of some
importance to the importers of this description of mer-
chandise has recently been come to by the revenue authori-
ties, the. same having arisen on an application of certain
parties who had entered a parcel of blanketing, or blankets
an the entire piece, as " woollen manufactures," or " manu-
factures of wool," free of duty, under the head of, accord-
ing to the terms of the Customs Act of the past session of
Parliament, " woollens, or manufactures of wool, not being
goat's wool, or of wool mixed with cotton, not particularly
enumerated or described, or otherwise charged with duty,
and not being articles wholly or in part made up ;'. but
which was detained by the officers of the revenue for
an ad valorem duty of 10 per cent., under the same act
(9 and 10 Vic., cap. 23), under the head of "woollens,
articles of manufactures of wool, not being goat's wool, &c.,
wholly or in part made up, and not otherwise charged
with duty." It appears that the blanketing contained
a number of blankets, or pieces of blanketing in sepa-
rate and in one entire piece, for the purpose of hemp;
made into or rather appropriated as blankets, each
particular portion of the manufacture being marked with
a border, as is usually seen around the rims or edges of
this universal and indispensable article of domestic use, a de-
finitve size being allotted to each, and, moreover, having a
coloured cord introduced between the said borders as a guide
in cutting or separating them for actual and individual use,
the whole being exclusively adapted to the purpose for which
the article is applied, and having that distinctive character-
istic feature, and being therefore deemed that it could not
be considered a simple manufacture of wool and entitled to
be admitted free, but an article, or a quantity of separate
articles together forming one entire article of woollen
manufacture in a complete state, and therefore clearly charg-
able with the ad valorem duty directed by the act to be
levied thereon. Orders have been issued for the same to be
charged with the duty accordingly in this and future importa-
tions of a similar nature. It is considered to have been the
intention of the legislature in respect of this matter to admit
manufactures of wool, or of woollen mixed with cotton, for
the purpose of the same being worked or manufactured in
this country into articles of woollen manufacture, free of
duty; but to exclude from that privilege the actually com-
plete article, which is, in the words of the act. wholly or in
part made up, and requiring no further degree of manufac-
ture previously to being actually appropriated to its intended
purpose, as a protection to the manufacturers of this country,
and it is on this principle that, although the entire manufac-
ture, or manufactured article now under notice, was probably
the simultaneous work of the loom, the black border of the
same material, although differing in colour, being introduced
during the operation, it was considered to be liable to duty,
being a tangible and acknowledged article of general use,
and requiring no further process of manufacture previously
to actual use.

MARK-LANE.—The little English Wheat fresh up
for this morning's market was disposed of on about the same
terms as on Monday last. In free foreign but few transac-
tions took place. Previous rates were maintained. Two
or three cargos of Lincoln and Cambridgeshire Wheats were
reported to have been sold for export to France; the actual
prices did not, however, transpire, but were about 60s. per
qr. free on board on the coast.
Barley in good request, and its value was fully supported.
There was rather a better sale for Oats to-day, but no im-
provement in price can be noted.
Beans and Peas unaltered.
