The Lion cutter arrived yesterday from Carthagens,
having made, perhaps, the quickest voyage to Colombx
and back that has ever been p_rformcd. She left the River
Thames the Ist of August, arrived at Carthagena the bch
September, and left again the ltith. The following is as
extract of a private letter by her. No positive intelligenez
from Bolivar has reached Bogota down to the 29th of
August.

CAMTIIAGSCA, SCPT.I4.

iVe have letters from Bogota to the 211th August. Arurno-r
was very general that lkilivu had totally defeated the Royalist. is
a genctal action, but our cnrrespor.dent adds. that he could not
trace it to any authentic source. Other letters Fire the same ac-
counts, but with no great certainty. The Venezuela fi igate. Com.
mo.lore Chitty, has returned from l'orto hello, after contoyiri
down the reinforcements sent there fur the Colombian army in Pe-.u.
They go from l'orto BAlo acrass to l'enains, and thence by sea to
Peru, ry which means they reach Bolivar very sp,ctlily. 'l'hre :s
nu g ea: dfliculty in foreseeing what must be the termiratien of a
war u hers the one party has supplies continually at hatd, and the
other las to receive them from Europe. Whatever Bolivar se, dr
fur is detitatehed to him ; for the Culotibians, having r.o enemy to
contend with iii their own country, arc at Itherty to Inc -t Bolivar's
demands. The lloYalists, on the other hand, Pure no frice.d nearer
than Cadiz. The value of that assistance you can appreciate better
than we can. _ _ . .

Colonel Campbell left this last month for Jatraien, wish the Ye.
port of the British Commission at Bogota. It must be a favourable
one, because it will be a true one, and it will mate, that !hire is trot
alt enemy lett in the Republic—that the authority of the Borers.
mem, is everywhere obeyed—that every subject of the State is pro-
tected—the Constitution universally enforced—the trib.stals of jos-
tire evetywhere open.—These things it must anti will state—not
that I would be understood to say, that nothing remains to Deduct
to complete the work of organiestion throughout this extensive Re.
public; on the contrary, the Spaniards hare taken care to Imes.
quite to do in the way of amendment and improvement;
but I do say, and without fear of contradiction, that any (sid.:Jl
repot of the situation of this country, will declare it to have:llth:
essentials et an independent State, perfectly competent to the aunt-
tenance of its power and authority, and quill to the conductioE at
its own concerns.

Colombian Papers to the 16.11 of July have been received. is
noticing the departure of (:uloaa Cam Mull from Bogota on the
lith of July, they pass high encomiwas on that officer's conciliatory
behaviour and lice, rality M saintimeta ; arid express a confident hope
that ilk arrival in England will prothice a resolution on the part of
the British Caliinet distinctly favourable to Columbian independ-
ence. The Colombian faiitislature and Usectitive are both occupied
in measures, which, while they evinces great desire for public jai-
provvnient. sties at the Linn: time that its pursuit is beset with nu.
melons didlculties. These Jouraals speak of " the embarrassed
state of the finances," and of " the scandalous frauds committed
on the Ptah,: Revenue." The Senate complains of the sant of
funds for the establishuiert of a public newspaper; and the Sane-
tary of State, recommending an amendment of the law of ttinestion,
complains that many of tile ncw schools have !Ken abandoned in
censcquence of the practi.-.1 tea which that law presents.—
la an rarlier number of the Bogota Paper we find an snide too burg
to einem, but written with cons derable ability, to rectanniend s
law for restraining comics front taking the veil till they have at-
tained the years of discretioa, and even then limiting the duration
of their vows to a certain tleiiite tiuce.

Although yesterday was a holiday un the Stock Excharge,
an immense acal of businesa was done in the Foreign, and
chiefly south American market. In fact, the transactions
in these Securities so completely occupied the speculators,
that our own funds seemed to be entirely neglected. Mexi-
can Bonds, which seem to be the specmating stock of the
South American mallet, rose at an early part of the day
upwards of g per cent., having at one time touches! 67.
After that a slight re-action took place, and at the close
they were about 65;f. The cause of this rise was the ar-
rival of a cutter from Carthagcna, belonging to an eaten-
sivedealer in the funds. The news which she brought wu
not well understood upon 'Change, but it was generally be-
lieved to be favourable to the Patriot cause. One r,pert
stated that Bolivar had defeated Cantarac, and that two of
the principal Royalist Generals had fallen in the hank ;
another, that Mille; with the advanced guard of the Pa-
triot army, had entered Lima ; and a third, that the gatri-
son of Callao werein a state of mutiny, alai had entered into
a conspiracy to deliver up that fortress to the Royalism
which conspiracy had been discovered, and nearly fifty of
the delinquents executed. Part of these statements were
confirmed by an express from Liverpool, at which a ship
hail arrived, with facts, from New York, tr,!on the eo:

NEW YORK.

We have been favoured with the following extract from
.a
err sedum by a gentleman (for many year, a resident In
Leeel), who is at present trevelling en America : —,
Net. York, Sept.te 10, Plt.
•• I got to this place the twiddle of last month, after a
anewhat tedious passage of 44 days. The weather for a
.trt time after my arrival proved inconveniently hot, which
..asiened a return of my bilious complaints. The tem-
retire being now mild, my health begins to improve.
•• The late fall in the rates of interest en money through-
t: Europe, has induced me to inquire into the most ad-
ytaecous mode of employing part of my property in this
entry, where the interest has not vet fallen to the Ett-
•,ean !evil ; and from the best information I can collect,
;:ors appear that 5 per cent. per annum may be obtained
t sufficient and unexceptionable security. This. con-
per cent. in Ett-
sted with the difficulty of obtaining S
ete is of some importance, and has determintd me to
msfer a part oftny funds either front England or India to
. s country. Before coming here I was led to believe
,it 1 might sell bills en Bengal at a favourable exchange
I the United States. In this I ant mistaken. The Ante-
ot men-hams trading to India no tenger, as formerly,
port specie for the purchase of return cargoes. Instead
'that they establish a credit in London, enabling them to
1 their hills in Bengal, on England, and thus turn
: bee rte of exchange to good account. Bills 0111 k-weal
ty, it is true, be sold here at a premium of from Si to
wee c.ett. in exchange for prompt CAA) payment; that is,
,- every 100 dollars, the drawer receives in hand, say
0:e! dollars; hut as the late quotations give the Bengal
ate of exchange at Sicca rupees, 210 to 212 per 100 del-
we this would be no very favourable operation to the seller
It the bill. I have had a few Sicea rupees assayed at the
;et-ailment :dint, Philadelphia. The report states the
met as equal to 46 cents. If we rate the dollar at 4s. 6t1..
r,hts would give nearly 2a, Id. perrupee ; but deduct inter-
-Ist, fttight, &c. anti the return for the nip c, if imported
ere as bullion, will be somewhat less than 2s. ; and if it
e• desired to remit the proceeds to Europe, that cannot be
!Ices.] but at a Itea.of from 8 to 10 percent. From this
new, therefore, instead of selling hills on Bengal, or re-
sitting from thence to America, the better plan vems to
le to bring foods direct from England. more particularly
1 can sell bills on London at a premium of from 9 to 10
•• cent.
" 1 have detained von thus long on the subject of renit-
ence and exchange between this country and India, lest,
Other from interest or curiosity, you may desire information
:1 that sulti: ct.
•• So much has issued, and continues daily to issue, from ,
'he 'loss, respecting the state and progress of this country, !
hat it would be a waste of time were I to attempt to enter
• retelly on the field in any communication like the present. I
Vet it tea:. perlistis be excusable to MKT a few cursory oh-
te:eeioes, that have pressed themselvew more particularly
one try attention. These States appear to be rapidly ad-1
lacing in the scale of national importance, from their'
ae:l progress in science, arts, and manufsetures. 'I heir
erivetueuts in the latter, particularly in the various
:Niches of the cotton manufacture, are incredible. The
Sete of New York, though it dots not take the lead in point
vt menVacture, is the first in rising commercial import-
• ne • : and probably no other part of the world, in proportion
to its population, can produce such numerous instances of
:1,11.1'1y-equine' wealth—of men who began the world
weletut a shilling, and who, by industry and good rna-
rtgeinent, have acquirtil large fortunes. This city contains
a long list of individuals possessing capital of from three
.2ruird theusand to 3 or 4 millions of dollars and upwards,
acquired within the last twenty-fire or thirty years.—
:ewe.: celleetively, the general mass of the better classes
ocietv seem to part with their meney more easily and
. aeglidessly than any other coinmunity that I have had
~ppertunity to observe. Owing, perhaps, to their for-
,e s having ken so hastily acquired ; and there is no
ler quarter of the glob?, perhaps, where an intelligent
s n of 1 red: rice and management may more certainly
'are wealth. The scale of profits in general is very
eh, u'terly disproportioned to the prices of the necessa-
.4,f lir, and of all kinds of provisions art agricultural
- dom. Take a familiar example : some thousands of
~Itelable pcop'e, chiefly those of the higher classes, male
.e emelt., families and single gentkmea, live constantly
'le. hotels tied numerous boarding-houst s of New York.
i':c.: charge fir beard and lodging, exclusive of wine and
Cr, is a dollar and a half per them. Wine, either port,
terry, or inferior claret, is charged at 12s. currency, nearly
.t.sterling p.r bottle. For hock, madeira, eke. the charge
double the above. Yet all these, especially the French
it:e.e, are purchaseabie wholesale or by the cask at less
,
eau oucehall the English cost. Agein, for a horse at a
i Ney-stable yeti pay fourteen, generally, fifteen dollars per'
:•utelt ; a carriage and pair, five dollars per day at the
tarot ; the street hacks 75 cents. an hour ; and all this
'n
a reentry where oats are six or eight-and-twenty mitts.,
y foureen or fifteen pence a bushel, and the finest wheaten
tier at & penny farthing a pound; provisiens of all sorts
reeenicually low. Ilouse-rent is high, though not quite
s high as in the weetern- parts of London. The want of
Feed ntvants is t riotously felt here and, as I understand,
:hroutthout the United States. This is the natural effixt

dieliat bus been just mentioned. Any fellow of corrnion
knst sees that a little good management must secure his
tlraneement. 'Wages are high, and as soon u he can
✓de up a small purse, he is enabled to quit service, to
titr a small farm, to engage in trade, or to embark in
su•ne other way on his os. n account. Hence the very
reuse enly of the lower order remain on hand, from whom
the housekeeper has to select the least drunken or the least
enthless. Indulgence in liquor, 1 should say in spirits.
it the great vice of the common people, and even of a part
Vat; lietter order. The effect is visible in the complexions
▪ a large proportion of the min, which arc sallow and
nevus, from their stomach:, being incessantly sur-
Los t 1 with animal food and ardent spirals."

FIELD SPO R7'S.

(From the Annals of Sorting

Crouse and partridge shooting may be considered as
gone by ; a few may be killed after the month of October,
under particular circumstances, but, generally speaking,
these buds become so wild, and are so much inclined to
take long flights, having renewed their new feathers, that,
after this period the pursuit of them, if not altogether
hopeless, cannot be abundantly successful. Even before
the middle of October, partridges had become very shy ;
while grouse might be regarded as unapproachable.
The pheasant is a bird which always lives well, and is,
therefore, easily approachable ; and, perhaps, had the sea-
son for shooting these birds been delayed till November,
it might have been an improvement in legal regulation ;
the young birds are seldom full, or even well grown, on
the Ist of October, and in the present season many were
not larger than partridges. From very considerable ob-
servation, it appears evident, that pheasants hatched later
than usual ; but they have bred better, or more abundantly,
titan the partridge.
November may he justly considered as the woodcock
shooting season : these birds are generally to be found in
more abundance about the middle of this month, than at
any other period. When these long-billed visitors make
their appearance very early, it is generally regarded as a
sign of approaching plenty. In the middle of September
a woodcock was shut in Aughton, Lancashire ; and an-
other was seen a fortnight afterwards, iu Lathom, in the
same county. If we calculate, therefore, according to
the received opinion, we may confidently anticipate good
sport.
Hares seem to have bred well ; and as this is the season
for coursing and hunting them, good diversion may he ob-
tained. There is no legal period appointed for pursuing
this era little animal ; but it may justly be considered an
outrage upon common law, as well as upon common sena.;
to pursue the bare with either greyhound or harrier, till the
crops have been housed.
Fox hunting, which has already begun, will now be
eagerly followed. Melton-Mowbray will become the very
focus of attraction ; and, as far es an opinion can be
formed, from no very ambiguous indications, there is likely
to be a greater ass: nblage at this place in the ensuing sea-
son, than has ever before been witnessed.
ANGLING.—Much good bottom-fishing and sport may
be bad in rivers, bat not so in ponds or any other still
waters, except trolling and live-bait fishing for jack and
pike, which may be practised in such places all through
the winter. In rivers, chub and roach will feed freely,
both of which are now fat, firm in flesh, and strong m
body, and will take a bait in favourable weather, during
the whole of the day. This month, the lover of trolling
should lose no time in the pursuit of his favourite diversion,
as the weather in December is generally subject to heavy
rains and falls of snow, which either produce floods, or
such thick and foul water. as to leavelittle chance of killing
a fish with the angle, and as jack and pike arc now in the
best possible state for the table, every advantage should be
taken when a fine day occurs in November, as, after this
month. the angler will probably have to wait till the latter
end of February, before he can again wet a line. Barbel,
dace, perch, carp, eels, and flounders, are now retiring to
their winter haunts ; the tackle, therefore, used for these
fish, way be laid aside till the winter has passed away.
