AMERICAN PAPERS

(From the Journal of Commerce.)
WASHINGTON, SATURDAY, SEPT. 30.—The House last night
adjourned at about 11 o'clock, after passing the Bill to post-
pone the payment of the fourth instalment to the States. The
motion to reconsider was carried, and Mr. Pickens moved to
amend the Bill by striking out the words " until further pro-
vision be made by law," and to insert " until the Ist day of
January, 1839," and the motion prevailed. The Bill, as thus
amended, was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading by a
vote of 118 to 106. The Bill was finally read a third time and
passed.

The amendment wholly alters the character of the Bill,
and removes many of the strongest objections to it. It is now
a Bill to postpone the payment of the instalment for a limited
time, instead of virtually repealing the Act, so far as the 4th
instalment is concerned. It will now require no further legis.
lation to carry the Deposit Act into effect, at the time pro-
posed. It is now clear that the Bill would not have passed,
without this amendment.

The Treasurj, Note Bill is to meet with some opposition.
The main point of discussion is likely to be on the question
whether the notes shall bear interest or not. The time is
short for action on that and the Bill postponing the payment
of the bonds.

SPECIE, SEPT. 30.
American gold, 5 to 5-1 per cent, premium
Sovereigns, 5 dol. 10c. to 5 dol. 124 c. each
Spanish doubloons, 16 dol. 50e. to 16 dol. 90c. each
Patriot ditto, 16 dol. 35c. to 16 dol. 40c. each
Spanish dollars, 61 to 7 per cent. premium
Mexican ditto, 6 to 6i per cent. premium
American Halves, 5 to 54 per cent. premium
Five Franc-piece, 1 dol.
The transactions in specie at the Board to-day included
1,600 Mexican dollars at 6, and 4,000 dollars in halves at 5
per cent, premium ; the latter deliverable at the seller's option
within ten days. The market presents no change of any im-
portance ; the business in specie for the last few days has been
limited.

Treasury draughts are held at 4-41- per cent. premium. We
hear of no sales, however, having been made at this rate ; it is
supposed the amount of drafts now in market is very light.
The appearance of the Stock has not varied in any way
since yesterday ; the transactions to-day were more limited,
but prices have been fully supported. United States Bank
1171 to 118. _ _

Purchasers of Sterling Exchange having appeared more
freely in the market to-day, and the amount of prime bills
offering being more moderate than had been anticipated, im-
parted considerable firmness to holders, and an advance of
about one per cent. was ultimately realized on the rates de-
manded during the week.
The transactions commenced at 14 per cent. premium,
and closed at 15 per cent. British Government bills at 30
days'sight were held at 16 per cent., at which rate a few sales
were made. A considerable amount was taken on France at
`2 c. Bills on Hamburgh were sold at 37 to 371 cents. ;
on Bremen at 821 to 844 cents. ; and on Holland at 42 cents.
Specie—sovereigns, 5 dol. 10 cents. to 5 del. 121 e. ; Mexican
dollars, 6 to 6,1 per cc-mt. prem. ; five-franc pieces, idol. to
100,1 c.; American gold and half-dollars, 5 to 5-1 per cent.
prem. The amount of specie shipped by the packets to sail
this day is estimated at 150,000 dollars.
Bills of five dollars on the Bank of Lancaster, Pennsyl-
vania, altered to fifty are in circulation in this city. The
figure 5 has been erased by some chymical process, and 50
substituted. The fifty in the body of the bil is written.

Some curious commercial movements are taking place in
the south. 'I he sub-treasury scheme meets with ready sup-
portersin South Carolina. The following statement is published
by Henry Schultz, of that state, as containing the amount of
specie actually 'sent from New York, since the suspension of
specie payments :-

It will be observA that this curious statement is taken
from the reported specie exports, as published in the New
York papers. Now by the Treasury tables, it appears that
the official export fur the same period is only about 4,500,000
dollars. Setting aside the " moonlight" export as a bit of
southern poetry, it is highly probable that the remaining
0 daylight" export is nearer the truth. In fact the " Treasury
statements," so far as specie is concerned, may be deemed
and taken to be " Treasury lies."
The Baltimore Patriot of the 30th states that the Bill to
postpone the October instalment of the deposits to the States,
finally passed the House last night by a vote of 118 ayes and
106 noes—the whole of the New York " Conservatives," and
all the Members from South Carolina, except the Hon. Waddy
Thompson, voting with the spoilsmen and experimenters
This, however, cannot be called an administration triumph, for
the amendment of Mr. Pickens, of South Carolina, was car-
ried, which postpones the instalment to a limited period, Ja-
nuary 1, 1839, instead of indefinitely, as was the intention of
the friends and:patrons of the measure. The Bill, as it origi-
nated in the Treasury department, and passed the Senate,
could not have passed the House. Mr. Adams's amendment,
requiring a pledge from the Government for the payment of
the money, was voted down. A number of other amendments
were rejected. The House adjourned about eleven o'clock.
Isaac M' Kim moved the previous question on the final passage
of the Bill.

It is stated that the yellow fever is at Natchez, and ten cases
had occurred there on the 19th ; the deaths have subse-
quently been from 10 to 14 daily.
Six hundred and eighty-nine bales of this year's cotton
crop had arrived at New Orleans, having come down by the
steam-boat Bayou Sara. It is calculated that this year's
crop will extricate the south from its embarrassment.
The commercial accounts at New York arc favourable, and
state that there is a gradual improvement in all parts of the
country, and that the coasting trade was recovering from the
torpor under which it was placed during the spring and sum-
mer, which was considered a never-failing criterion of a re-
turn to a sound and wholesome state of things.
The sales in specie on the 30th were limited to 1,600 Mexi-
can, at 6 per cent, premium ; and 4,000 in half dollars, at 5
per cent. ten days. The rate now asked on Treasury drafts
is 41 to 4 per cent. premium ; shares of the United States
Bank were quoted at 118. Exchange on England 14 to 15 ;
British Government bills, at 30 days, were held at 16, and few
sold at that rate.
At Charleston there has been a firm market in upland cot-
ton, but without any improvement in prices. The stock on
sale continues very limited.
In the Montreal markets the business done at auction dur-
ing the past week has been extensive, and thew has also been
more activity by private sale. Some of the fall ships have
arrived, and bought generally few goods, and the same is
reported likely to be the case with those which are still to
come. This appears to have inspired buyers with more con-
fidence, and trade wears an improving aspect:
ASHRS.—The price is better for both sorts; Pots have sold
readily at 275., and in a few instances, for very good lots,
275. 3d., and even 275. 6d., have been paid. Sales of Pearls
at 28s. 6d. a 28s. 9d., but 29:,. is now generally asked.
Paovisioss.—Pork is steady, but there is little doing. New
Beef is offered on contract for early October delivery at
dols for prime.
WHEAT AND FLOUR.—There is nothing new in the Wheat
market. For a cargo white Dantzig at Quebec, something
over 7s. for 60 lbs., was offered and refused, deliverable
here. The market continues bare of Flour; U. C. fine is
still retailing at 40s.
Wese INDIA PRODUCE.—For both Sugar and Rum there
is a good demand, and prices are steady ; bright Muscovadocs
are looking up. Sales of Leeward Rum, weak, 1 a 5, has
been made at 3s. Bd. per gallon, and of Molasses at 2s. 4d.
EXCHANGE.—The decline in New York has affected the
rate here for bills on England, and merchants' bills cannot be
quoted above 18 a 19 ; sovereigns have declined to 265. 3d.
The Matilda, for Genoa, has put bac k with loss of bowsprit
and starboard bow stove, having been in contact with the Earl
Grey, for Calcutta, off Holyhead. The latter proceeded.
The Harriet and the Jessie, and the John Troughton, from
Liverpool, has arrived at Charleston ; the Virginia, from ditto,

at Alexandria; the Cyclops, from ditto, at Plymouth; the
Macedonia, from ditto ; the Portland and Ellen, from ditto, at
St. Andrew's; the China and Superb, from ditto, at Charles-
ton ; the Jefferson, from ditto, at Matanzas.

A brig was seen on shore on Carysfort Reef 27th August,
with sails furled and top-gallant yards across, supposed to have
gone on the night previous.
( From tho New York Morning Courier, Oct. 2.)
We learn from the New Orleans papers of the 24th, that
the fever was declining rapidly. The new cases have decreased
in number, and the disease does not assume the malignant type
which is usual as the season advances. The change in the
weather had produced the most beneficial results. The in-
terments on the 31st were 16 ; on the 22d, 49 ; and on the
23d, 32. Ton easels had been reported at Natchez.
Business was beginning to revive and produce coming in by
the steam-boats from up the river. Between the 17th and
23d, 8,757 barrels of flour had been received, besides other
articles. On the 21st and 23d, 208 passengers had arrived
there.

The yellow fever had entirely ceased at Havanna.
FIRE AT NATCHEZ —On the morning of the 14th inst.,
Natchez was again visited with a destructive fire. It com-
menced in a wooden tenement and spread rapidly to other
buildings, destroying three built of brick, two stores high.
The loss, estimated at the lowest computation, is sixty thou-
sand dollars.

The Mobile Mercantile Advertiser states that the health of
city continued good, and that no epidemic of any kind existed
there.

The exchange on England was 14 to 15. British Govern.
meet bills, at. 30 days, were upheld at 16, and very few sold al
that rate. The price of specie was still depressed. Bank o 1
the United States shares were quoted at 118.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL' S-YESTERDA r.

The winners of the Clearwell and Prendergast Stakes are
neck and neck. lon having a slight call both for Criterion
and Derby. For the latter race the Cobweb colt has passed
them both, and is now at about the price at which Lord Jer-
sey's favourite usually stands at this part of the year. Cob-
ham is a point or two in advalce of our last quotation, and an
offer was made to take 20 to 1 about Grey Momus. A dullish

THE LATE SIR MARK WOOD'S STUD.
The sale of this unrivalled racing and breeding stud took
place at Hare Park, four miles from Newmarket, a little after
twelve o'clock on Saturday, and attracted a very large at-
tendance of sporting characters of the highest class. There
were also several foreigners present, all anxious to get the
brood mares, and nearly all, we are happy to state, disap-
pointed. The stud, altogether, was unique of its kind, but
the most interesting lots were the brood mares Camarine and
Lucetta. Camarillo was purchased of Lord Berners, at three
years old, for 1,400 guineas, and proved herself to be the best
mare seen on the turf since Violante. She is out of the same
dam as Recovery, Mayday, and Phosphorus, and is now nine
years oil. Lucetta was bought of Mr. Batson, at the same
age, fur a large sum (2,000 guineas, we believe), was beaten
in two or three of her early races, but trained on, and proved
a valuable purchase. Sho is eleven years old. The yearlings
out of these mares are their second produce, their first foals
hating died. They are remarkably active and promising; in-
deed, it was observed of the yearlings generally that they were
unusually large and racing-like. The fancy lot of the young
stock, however, was the Lucetta foal, which is, beyond doubt,
the most perfect ever seen—the great price for it and most of
the other lots serve to prove that when blood and appearance
are combined the foreign purchasers will never have a chance
wi:li the English admirers of thorough bred stock. There
were several commissions from Denmark, Sweden, Austria,
Germany, America, and France, for Camarine and Lucetta_.
all of them were liberal, but fell infinitely short of the prices
realised ; the Bustard mare and two or three of the horses in
training are all that arc likely to quit the country. From the
f thawing return it will be seen that the six brood mares
fetched 3,521 guineas, the seven horses in training 1,198
guineas, the three two years old 766 guineas, the five year-
lings 2,235 guineas, and the four foals 1,181 guineas; total,
8,905 gnineas. A shooting pony brought 100 guineas.

THEAT RES.

ADELPIIL

A new piece wl,-; produced last night after the curtain
dropped on Rori3O'llfore, with the title of The Death Token.
It is evidently takon from the French, and seems calculated
to command the admiration of the Porte St. Martin, but
we doubt its ultimate triumph here, though Mrs. Yates ex-
erts herself in the most effective manner, and Mr. O'Smith
enacts the ruffian with due propriety of language and costume.
A country girl, engaged to be married, sits up waiting for her
lover, and hears three taps at her window given by an invisible
hand, which, according to the tradition of the province, de-
notes that sonic very dear friend is that hour to die. She seizes
a light, calls up her family, and determines to explore the forest,
through which her lover's route lay. Her fears are confirmed.
He has met his death from the hand of the Lord of the Manor
who is in love, and has been rejected by the maiden, and she finds
die corpse, with all the evidence that violence has been used.
She solemnly swears to avenge his death, and at the very mo-
ment when she is about to espouse the Baron, to whom her
father has delivered her up, she discovers the marks of his
guilt and that of his accomplices, and she charn,es him with
the crime, and convicts him even at the altar. The Baron is
seized, but the accomplice determines not to die without an•
other victim. He stabs the poop girl before yielding up his
own life, and thus ends the piece, in a surfeit of love and mur-
der. To relieve the weight of so much horror, Mr. Wilkin-
son is introduced in the character of a maker of fireworks, and
some ono else, unknown to fame, as a disconsolate lover. The
author intended, by this episode, that the house should laugh,
and certainly every body did laugh, but not with pleasure.
Occasionally a hiss was heard in the tumult ; but that made
the merriment only the more active. The house was very full.
