FLIGHT OF CABIZERA.

ZARAGOZA, AUG. 3l.—A letter has been received from
Aieorisa, said to be from a person worthy ni belief, stating
that Cabrera passed through Santa Lucia de Molinos—or
Molinos—on the 26th instant, mounted on a mule, fol-
lowed by two others laden. He had no horse nor other
attendants but the three muleteers. He remained at Mo-
linos about an hour and a half, and then went to Las
Cuevas, where he took fresh mules, and took the road to
Las Parras, by Santolia. His route beyond that point was
unknown to the writer.

Two hours after he left Las Cuevas, eight Carlist cavalry,
who described themselves as being Cabrera's orderlies, ar-
rived, and after inquiring as to the road he had taken,
they followed in that direction. Shortly afterwards twelve
more horsemen arrived in search of the eight, stating that
they were pursuing Cabrera with peremptory order to take
him and bring him dead or alive to the Pretender in person.
If this be true, another important result has arisen from
the action of the 9.4 th.

Cabrera was fleeing direct towards Valencia ; no doubt
his mules were well laden with booty. Should he get off,
Carlos will have lost three of his best generals. Cabrera
was his main support in Arragou. If he should have
escaped, or have been killed or imprisoned, the Preten-
der will be left with only the debris of his Basque army,
who are not likely to stand by him long. Cabrera's men
will drop off, and return to their old haunts, to act us
freebooters, in separate bands, the moment that they find
themselves bereft of their Chief, who alone could hold them
together.

I give you the report, without vouching for its cor-
rectness. It is very probable, however, that, basing suf-
fered much in the last action, and being embariassed as
to the next step to be taken, the Pretender and his chiefs
quarrelled, and that.the abandonment of Cabrera was the
consequence.

JOSEPH HUME, ESQ., M.P.—Last evening, a
preliminary meeting was held in the Merchaoes Hall, at-
tended by several of the Magistrates and Town Council,
and the principal leading Reformers, Bailie Crooks in the
Chair. The object for which they were convened was to
deliberate on the propriety of a public demonstration in
behalf of the Liberal cause, by a festive entertainment
to Mr. Hume, as a proof of the high esteem in which
he is held among the citizens of Edinburgh and the Re-
formers of Scotland. The proposal was most cordially
received, anda Provisional Committee appointed to secure
the necessary arrangements. We understand it is pro-
posed to proceed by requisition, and we are convinced
that hundreds will promptly come forward, whenever it
shall be • known where signatures will bo received. It will
surprise us if the Provisional Committee will find can-
vassing necessary on this occasion. Our only apprehension
that no place of assembly will be found large enough
to receive all who will attend. Those who first enrol their
names will of course be first served according to the accom-
modation.—Scottish Pilot of Wednesday.

COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE AND

portrait of the Queen, which introduces the graces and the
n d the gaieties of the present number, is one of the prettiest
and best executed that we have seen ; and the graceful cap
and elegant little bonnet seem, like Mercy, to become the
throned monarch better than a crown. This portrait tends
to confirm our impression that Miss Costello is peculiarly
fortunate in her likenesses, conveying an air of elegance corn 7
bined with simplicity, whi_ih is too frequently neglected.
The literary contents, too, have an ample share of attraction.

knowledges—or rather proclaims with exultation—that
Lord iNiuLGRAVE has wrought miracles in the way of
social improvcment. The Orangemen are comparatively
quiet in the North ; and the Whitehoys extinguished
in the South. The black array in the criminal calen-
dars are diminished almost to blanks, and the gaols
are nearly empty. There arc no more turnings---no
more cardings—no more factious outrages. This
happy state of things must necessarily be augmented,
while the Whigs retain, and employ as they are now
cluing, the Administrative Government of Ireland.
We now come to what appears to us to be by far the
most important part cf Mr. O'CONNELL'S Adirss
—we mean the portion of it addressed directly, and in
•ms of preat respect, to the British people. Reformers
England and Scotland, attend to it t We pledge our-
Ives it well merits your attention. The Union

ter
of
se'

—the perfect union of the Reform body is n.:cessacy
to the speedy regeneration of the country. Let clubs
and societies be formed, and Reform demanded, and
the Lords must yield to the voice of the nation. At
all events, lct us keep out the Tories by our unani-
mity, our perseverance, and our determination.

Our readers will find in another part of our paper
an interesting, report of the proceedings at a dinner
',yen by the Reformers of Lauder to Mr. STEUART,
'M.P., for the Haddington District of Boroughs.
There was no want of enthusiasm in the good cause dis-
played at this ntegtiug, and we are sure that no one
who even glances at the speeches delivered by Mr.
STEUART, will gay that that gentleman shewed any
symptoms of a desire to flinch from that bold and
straightforward course which the country expects from her
jesty's Ministers, Theis; Ministers have been accused
by the Tories and their allies the impraoticables, of an
intention to give the go-by to the principles of reform
which they have hitherto professed, and to pare down
their measures' to such a standard as may suit the
taste and temper of the Opposition. They have even,
according to certain veracious authorities, actually en-
tered into a coalition with the leaders of the Tory
party, in order—mark the conclusion—to keep them-
selves in place ! The absurdity of these charges is
their best refutation. That Ministers will abate one
jot of those demands upon the Legislature which the
interests of the country require, of which they them•
selves have declared the necessity, and which the
House of Commons has sanctioned with its authLiritY,
we do not believe. We have neither seen nor heard
any thing that could lead us to adopt such an opinion ;
and when we find men like Mr. STEUART responsibly
connected with the Government,—participating in its
credit or discredit, and acquainted with its prospective
views,—speaking in the decided tone in which he ad-
dressed his constituents on Wednesday last, we cannot
allow a doubt upon the subject to cross our minds.
Mr. STEUART'S position naturally led him to
touch upon a considerable variety of political topics.
These are all made to bear with excellent effect upon
the main point, which every liberal-minded tnan and
every sincere well-wisher of his country must keep
constantly in view. To lay bare the hypocritical pre-
tensions of Toryism—to show the hideousness of its
character: from its past deeds, and to put the country
on its guard against the disasters which must follow
in its train should it again mount into the seat of
power—is the duty of all good wen in their several
spheres, and especially of those who, like Mr.
STEUART, are possessed of the talent of moving a po-
pular assembly.
In alluding to the result of the late election, Mr.
STEUART very justly remarks that the successes of
the Tories in the English counties are easily accounted
for, and are to be imputed to causes which add no
honour—though they may adoi a small number of par-
tisans—to Tory ism—namely, undue influence over the
electors, and the prejudice against the New Poor Law
excited among the ignorant by that party who had a
principal hand in passing the measure—a " measure,"
he truly says, " of which, if the Tories were in power
to-morrow, they would be the uncompromising advo-
cates." Mr. STEUART, proceeding to the Scottish
elections makes the following observations, the good
sense of which must strike every reader :

LONDON.
FRIDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 8. 11137.

The attention of our readers is earnestly directed to
one of the most comprehensive and spirit-stirring ap-
peals ever made by Mr. O'CONNELL to the patriotism
of the Irish and good sense of the British people.
From the mountains of Darrynane a voice has gone
forth that will find a corresponding echo in the bosom
of every honest and practicable reformer in the United
Kingdom. Never did Mr. O'CONNELL occupy a posi-
tion with more dignity than he does that of leader and
organizer of the Reform phalanx at the present mo-
ment—never wan his voice heard in tones more likely
to rally round him the honest, intelligent, and tolerant
portion of the inhabitants of the British Isles in a de-
termination to support her Majesty's Ministers against
the truculent Tories. Mr. O'CoreNELL's statesman-
like summary of the difficulties against which the pre-
sent Cabinet has to contend—of the important consi-
derations that should induce the Reformers of every
shade of opinion, and at every sacrifice short of a de-
relieion of principle, to continue to support it, will
make as- deep, salutary, and lasting impression upon
the mind of the Reform body. He glories—as every
right-minded Irishman should do—in the cry of the
Tories, that an Irish majority carried every Reform
measure passed by the British Parliament since 1828.
He does not parody the Times' description of a cer-
tain notorious Court intrigue during the lifetime of the
late Sovereign—he does not assert that the " Irish did it
all ;" but he maintains " that it was the Irish who
turned the scale of victory, decided the triumphant re.
suit, and brought the cause of Reform to its present
prominent and promising position." No stronger
claim could be urged in favour of the speedy conces-
sion of justice to Ireland, and none could be advanced
which would more certainly strike a chill to the heart
of the Tory faction.
Mr. O'CONNELL marshals the forces " for" and
" against" justice to Ireland—an expression perfectly
synoeivmous with the general good Government of the
United Kingdom—in the following order :
We have for " Justice to Ireland,"
The Court.
The Ministers.
The Irish nation.
The majority of the Scotch constituency.
The majority of the English town constituency.
A sumerous portion of the county constituency; being,
however, a minority of the whole in the counties.
There aro ranged against doing " Justice to Ireland,"
The Lords.
A large number—being yet a minority—of the House of
Commons.
The majority of the Established Clergy—" Presbyterian"
—in Scotland.
The overwhelming majority of the Established Clergy—
" Episcopaliiin"—in England.
The majority of the county constituency in England.
The odds arc clearly in favour of the Reformers, if
they will only unite together, forget their trivial diffe-
*saxes of opinion, and fight manfully against the com-
mon enemy. As regards Ireland, we hold it impossi-
ble to deny her justice if she persevere in her claims—
as she assuredly will do under the efficient guidance of
the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin. The
House of Lords is the great sturnblinabloek ; but if
Ministers can be brought to adopt the advice of Mr.
O'CONNELL, the evil will be considerably mitigated.
" The Lords," he well observes, " are not despots
without rational motives ; they desire to continue to
quarter their younger sons and connections on the pub-
lic, and to share as largely as possible on the public
purse. Would it not then he quite simple to ex-
ercise the prerogative in a straightforward way, by
stopping all these resources in the ease of every Lord
who sets the QUEEN'S Government and the peoples
demands at defiance ?" Most assuredly it would ;
and, moreover, had Ministers so acted two years ago,
Ireland would not now be without a Municipal Reform
Bill. Mr. O'CONNELL, however, excuses the past
inaction of Ministers on the plea that the Crown was
opposed to such a police—a plea which we readily
admit, as we understand a contrary course will be
adopted after the opening of the. new Parliament.
Nothing can be more certain than that a bold, deter-
mined line of conduct will save the country from
the tyranny of the Lords. Opposed to the power
and the will of the Crown and people, the
House of Lords stands prominently forth, a last
remnant of feudal despotism—a legacy bequeathed us
by the tyranny that recognised the jurisdiction of the
Star Chnraber—and first abolished by the Reformers,
who erased the name of that inquisitorial institution
from dee statute-book of England.
We will not dwell here upon the many and im-
portant advantages which a Reform Cabinet has con-
ferred, and is capable of conferring, upon Ireland,
though thwarted by the Lords with respect to the
measures introduced for the amelioration of the insti-
tutions of the sister kingdom. Mr. O'CONNELL ac-

In Scotland we have reason to congratulate ourselves on
our triumph, and not only that we stand better than after any
previous dissolution ; but in despite of the fictitious voters
and the nominal returns which have taken place, I have.no
hesitation in saying, and it requires no spirit of prophecy to
tell, that several of those members who have obtained a co-
lourable majority, will, when the day of trial comes, be un-
seated, and freely chosen representatives • substituted in their
places. And what a change has been brought about by the
power conferred on the people by the Reform Bill in this
country t Thirty years ago, England returned a majority of
Liheral Members, but the Minister of the day, and the House
of Peers together, returned a sufficient number of Members
to swamp the misgoverned people of England ; and now the
people are told by the Conservatives that they have not acted
up to their former spirit. Scotland, once degraded and op-
litically dead, has come forth to their rescue to.iadvocate Li-
beral measures, and I trust will long be enabled to do so.
\\Atm the organs of the Hanoverian faction bray so
loud about the swamping—as they call it—of their
English majority by the Irish and Scotch Members,
the) never remind their readers of the facts here stated
by Mr. STEUART. As long as the Tories were in
power, the English majorities might be swamped by
the nominees of CASTLEREAGH, or the hired ser-
vants of DUNDAS—that was all as it should be. But
now that the. people of Ireland and Scotland are con-
sulted as to the choice of their Representatives, the
case is quite altered.
From Scotland the Speaker passes on to Ireland.
" Ireland," he no less justly than eloquently obset yes—
" Long trampled on, and long submissive and patient un-
der all the insults and sufferings she has endured, has
now risen up against her bitter foes, and has proved that there
is still public spirit and patriotism sufficient to arouse her to
gird on the sword. The intelligent, but uneducated sons of
Ireland have indeed been trampled on by the Tories in a
ina:mer they will not soon forget, and which requires a
great portion of the Christian spirit to enable them to for-
gitT.—(Cheers.) Ireland felt at the late election that she
was struggling not only for her birthright, but for her very
existence. When Earl Grey assumed the reins of office,
rebellion and bloodshed stalksd through the breadth and
length of the land ; but at the late Assizes the Judges them-
selves declared the calendars to be unusually light, and
heinous crimes, we know, are now of rare occurrence, while
the whole wealth of the country is now falling into its proper
channels, and in fifty years the prosperity of Ireland will, I
trust, have increased in a greater ratio than Scotland had ever
gone in more than a century."
The opinion expressed by Mr. STEUART in the
following passage is that which we have always main
twined on the result of the elections, as regards the
position of the Government :
" It has been said by the Times Newspaper, that the majo-
rity which the Whigs will have in the new Parliament, will
not enable them to carry on the Government, and that. the
Tories must eventually succeed them ; but notwithstanding
the foul inventions and fabrications of that Journal, I know
that the majority in the House of Commons is sufficiently
strong, backed as it is by the support of the Queen, to carry
out all those measures which you look for as the offspring of
Reform."—( Loud cheers.)

We have only room for one other extract. It is
gratifying to see public men like Mr. STEUART, who
formerly entertained stroiig objections to the Ballot,
brought round to a conviction of the necessity of that
measure :
" Humble as my efforts may be, still as your representative I
and bound to state how I now stand with regard to the ballot.—
(Cheers ) I confess to you, when this question was first pro-
posed and mooted at the commencement of our new political
era, which wu date in 1330, I thought that there was that
spirit of independence among my countrymen, which should
have rendered that protection unnecessary. But having re-
corded my opinion against the ballot at the passing of the Re-
form Bill, and also on a subsequent occasion, the election in
1834 made me waver in my sentiments, and I found that I bad
estimated men's political opinions at a higher rate than I was war-
rants(' to do. It is impossible. however, for mortals to see and
undergo those trials which have been imposed oil rianYr and to
stand
proof against thnir influence. Although the steel may
be well tempered, yet the fire may be too strong, and such has
been the result f- the late election in too many instances. I
confess that that opii • which prompted me to WI for the
ballot was, tlilatmutilttil:Qcsoereorsotine means less objectionable can

LIVERPOOL (YESTERDAY.)

THE UNITED STATES.
LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPT. 7.—The packet
ship Oxford, which sailed from New York on the 17th
inst., arrived here to-day, bringing advices from that city
to the 17th ; from Canada to the 13th, and from New
Orleans to the 3d. The adviecs which had reached New
York were from London to the 7th, Liverpool to the Bth
of July. The following are extracts :
Naw ORLEANS, AUG. 2, 1837.—The steam ship Cuba
arrived yesterday from Havana ; the only news of import-
ance she brings, is that the city is verk sickly, yellow fe-
ver prevailing:, principally confined to strangers.
Our City Bank commenced yesterday paying specie for
all her notes ; it was not generally known until about one
o'clock, when the Bank was quite filled unt:l closing time,
the run even then was not heavy, and it is generally be-
lieved that she had to pay out but a few thousands; it is
thought that she will not cor.tinue to redeem this d 4, as
yesterday's transaction was with the object of saving its
charter. _

The Reform Association of Salford, on Wednes-
day last, gave a grand dinner to Mr. BROTHERTON,
the Member for the Borough. The attendance was
numerous, amounting to upwards of twelve hundred
persons, principally electors. We regret that we are
compelled, by want of room, to postpone the account
of the proceedings on this highly important occasion
till to,rnorrow.

Madrid Journals to the 30th ult, have reached us
this morning. They bring the details of a duel between
General SEOANE and M. MANZANO, which took
place on the 28th, of which the particulars will be
found in another column. Three battalions of the
Portuguese Auxiliary Legion were reported to have
mutinied at Toro, near the Portuguese frontier, de-
claring that they would not serve in Spain when there
was occasion for their services in their own country.
No excitement prevailed in the capital. The Minis-
ters were moving as noiselessly and as steadily as they
could in the footsteps of their predecessors ; and the
Cortes were engaged with the Church Reform Bill,
anti the petitions of the good folks of Barcelona and
Cadiz, who, in imitation of the Tory corn-growers, are
for enriching Spain by restricting British Commerce
urn CARLOS continued at Cantavieja, nerd CABRER A
had set out on a nex expedition, but whether on his
own account or that of CARLOS was a subject of
controversy. By some it was reported that he had
quarrelled with the Pretender, and fled for his life,
laden with booty ; but others mentioned that he had
only departed to execute some new plan for the an-
noyance and discomfiture of the QUEEN'S Generals.
We incline ourselves to the latter opinion.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday have been re-
ceiv( d, but they contain no news, domestic or foreign,
of any interest. One Journal publishes an extract of
a letter from Perpignan, to the effect that the British
Admiral at Barcelona had endeavoured to gain pos-
s.ssion of the citadel and the forts of Atazanas and
Montjou', but that his efforts were unavailing in con-
sequence of the spirit displayed by the Authorities.
The Captain-General had subsequently acceded to the
petition of the National Guards to have the said forts
placed under their protection. Tha National Guards
are as brave as lions while danger is at a distance ; but
should the Carlists approach Barcelona we rather sus-
pect the British will experience no difficulty in obtain-
iog honour of manning every fortress in the city.

Specie has kept up beyond all our expectations for the
last ten days, it has been selling from 13 to 15 per cent.
premium. A good deal has been purchased for the Mobile
market and account, as that city is compelled to be sup-
plied from us. This demand is caused from her late le-
gislative enactments (a suspension of specie payments
throvighout the state for three years), and to carry on her
business abroad. For some time to come she will be
compelled to send the stuff itself.
Feom Memco.—By the schooner Sarah Ann, Captain
Bontemps, advices from Tampico have been received one
day later. There was nothing new ; all was tranquil and
quiet.—The Sarah Ann sailed on the 22d, and reports that
a conducta was expected to arrive on the Bth of August
with 200,000 dollars, 118,000 of which was for the house
of M. de Lizardi and Co., of this city.
The Sarah Ann brings 343,000 dollars, consigned to
Messrs. Denegre, F. Tio, A. M. Miranda, Godfrey, Bloss-
man and Co. ; A. Chategnier ; Herman and Co. ; F. W.
Schmidt ; E. W. Taman ; J. A. Merle and Co.; J. Ro-

Yesterday, schooner Lone arrived from Vera Cruz,
bringing 8,538 dollars in specie. She reports there is a
large quantity of specie in that place destined for this port
and Europe. Everything remained quiet. The United
States sloop of war Vandalia was lying in the harbour at
the time of her departure.
Also arrived yesterday schooner Ranzoncilo, from Tam-
pico. She brings no news, but something much better at
this moment, viz., 35,000 dollars in speeie.—New Orleans
paper,
IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.—We have been favoured
by a respectable • house of this city with the following ex-
tract of a letter received per Sarah Anna, dated Tampico,
July 22 :--" General Bustamente has demanded a loan
from the clergy of five million of dollars, which it would
appear has given little satisfaction to the hitter, and they
found it advisable to enter again into negociations with
Santa Anna. The Government, aware of this, ordered
Santa Anna to appear before a court-martial to answer to
the charges against him on account of his late Texas cam-
pa!gae—Santa Anna 9,!plied to the call in the following laco.
n'c manner :—‘ No puedo, no dobo y no quierom—(l can.
not, I should not, and I will not.) In consequence of
which a strong detachment of cavalry was despatehed for
Mango del Clavo, with orders to take the hero and bring
him a prisoner to the capital. On their arrival, however,
he was nowhere to be found. Some say he is gone to
Jalapa, others to Vera Cruz. Victoria and Bravo, it is
said, have also turned Santa Anna men.—N. 0. Bee.
DESTRUCTIVE GALE AT NASSAU (N. P.)—Captain
Clements, of the British sloop Humming Bird, arrived here
yesterday in five days from Nassau (N. P.), informs us that
a violent and severe gale of wind from E. to S.E. visited
that place on Saturday night, July 29, and continued with
unusual severity until 2 r. M. on Monday following, which
did much damage to the town and harbour. Three vessels,
one of which was the schooner Anna, just arrived from
New Orleans, were driven out to sea, and were not heard
from when Captain Clements left.
Two vessels were wrecked in the vicinity of the har-
bour, and it was ascertained that some of the crews had
perished.
Four houses were blown down in the town.
It was apprehended that the corn crops would be nearly
all destroyed.
Corn was scarce and high—it was selling at 2 dollars
50 cents. per bushel.—Norfah. Beacon.

NEW YORK MARKETS, Atm. 16.
FLOUR.—The same excessive dullness noticed in our last
still continues ; and although holders have submitted to a
reduction of fully 75 cents per barrel, our quotations may
be considered as nominal. Rye Flour has declined and is
dull. Indian Meal continues in demand, and the receipts
are very light. The stock of Flour is considered to be
light, but such is the entire absence of demand, that we
can give but a poor idea of the dullness that has prevailed
for the list two weeks. There is a large quantity of infe-
rior New York and 'Troy from poor foreign wheat offering,
which being made in the State, can be consumed, but not
shipped without inspection, at the comparative low price
of 61 to 7 dollars, which does not pass inspection as
superfine, and is commonly taken for mixing with a small
proportion of first quality flour.
Puovistoss.—Our provision market remains without
change, no transactions having taken place during the week
worth noticing. We quote Mess Pork 22 a 221 ; Prime
17-1 to 18, nominal. Beef remains firm, without any ma-
terial change in price, and very moderate demand. We
quote Mess 13{ to 144, prime from 8/ to 94. Lard firm
at our quotations, and some considerable sales have been
effected during the week, on speculation. Holders, how-
ever, do not anticipate much advance. In other descrip-
tions but little is doing, and our quotations in many cases
ure nominal.
LEATHER.—We notice the sale of about 6,000 sides, on
Thursday, by auction, on four months credit. The sale
went off with spirit, and though prices generally were under
our quotations, owing perhaps to the short credit, we con-
sider a gradual improvement in the market may be looked
for. 3,000 sides Hemlock will be offered at auction, at tl:e
store of Wm. P. Miller, in Gold, opposite Ferry-street, on
Thursday, 17th instant.
SALT. —Little coarse salt remains in first hands. Two
cargoes of Bonaire, embracing 8,000 bushels, have been
sold on terms not transpired. The last cargo of 'Turks Is-
land had been sold to arrive. A cargo of Liverpool ground
remains unsold in first hands.
COPPER.—SaIes of sheathing continue at our quotations,
as it may be required. Old sells at 161 a 17c. cas'n, at
which prices we observe sales of B,ooo'bs.
laosr.—There has been a pretty fair demand for iron the
past week, particularly for- sheet and pig iron, and an ad-
vance on the former has been obtained, owing to the light
stock in first hands. Scotch pig has been sold at 40 dollars,
cash, to some extent.
COTTON.—SaIes to a fair extent have been made sinoc
our last report, principally for shipment. Two hundred
and fifty bales of Liverpool good fair, to good Charleston
Cottons, have been taken for Havre at 13 and 181 c. ; with
this exception, very little has been sold over 124 c., and
very little now on sale would command more. The lower
descriptions, or all tinder " fair," hate been offered very
freely, and considerable sales have been made at 71 to So.
for ordinary, and 81 91 and 10c. for ordinary to middling.

rope since the sailing of the last packets. In specie there
there is little or no variation. Sovereigns sd. 34c. 5d.35c.

DUELLING BY THE WHOLESALE.—Mr. Gibson, editor
of the New Orleans Ante, lean, a gentleman, we believe,
well versed in duelling matters, proposes, in the present
rage for that species of combat at New Orleans, to settle
the accumulated contentions and difficulties of every kind
by the wholesale, thus :
.‘ We invite all and several of those would-be heroes to
register their names, immediately, at the office of the True
American, as we purpose, as soon as the list is sufficiently
full, to charter a couple of handsome clipper-built schooners,
very capable of running away in case of need. These
schooners we propose to man with these gentlemen at arms,
so that they may have an opportunity, as they are bent
on a fight, of having it out, not with poor, paltry pis.
tols, but with respectable, full-sized swivels. In some of
these we propose to ship the bullies, the loafers, and
loungers, and shall her the Mosquito, as these insects arc
well known as the pests of our southern clime. In the other
we intend to embark all those intended victims who are ge-
nerally challenged because it is thought they will got fight,
but mostly proving the best men ; we shall call their schooner
the Fireaway. The principals aro to be kept down be-
low, and the seconds are to man the gun-deck, for being
the parties generally most to blame, they ought to stand
the breast of the shot. Gentlemen who are anxious to
fight on horseback, will be allowed to bring their cattle
along with them, provided their broadsords are no longer
than the gun deck. 'When a sufficient number shall he
enrolled, we purpose ourselves to take the command of
Fireatvay, and offer the other to any Loco Foco Editor
who will leave off abusing the city and the laws, and take
a quiet fight upon the lake in a genteel wholesale way. By
this plan every gentleman will be enabled to pick out his
particular friend, and settle all disputes about borrowed
money, games of billiards, &c., by a round of grape—
though perhaps he had better do the same over a social
bottle."

THE WEALTH OF ENGLAND.—It is a common error,
in this country to imagine that the riches of England are
derived from, and dependent upon, her commerce ; and the
influence of this great mistake is shown in the many wild
suppositions that have been hazarded, touching the effect of
our commercial and financial difficulties upon the financial
and political condition of the wonderful little island. The
truth is that the merchants of England, with all their great
capital and vast extent of operations, hold but a very small
portion of the riches existing in the country ; and this
truth can be made apparent by a few simple considerations.
Look at the squirearchy, for instance ; the thousands
and thousands of country gentleman, with their com-
fortable incomes of three or five or ten thousand pounds
per annum, derived exclusively from the soil ; and the en-
ormous fortunes of the nobility. Estimate, if it can be es-
timated, the immense amount of treasure in the country,
existing in the form of plate and jewels. Why at a single
dinner given in London on the 18th of June, gold and silver
plate to the value of a million and a half of dollars was
exhibited at once ; all the property of one individual—the
Duke of Wellington. That celebrated personage could
have relieved from their difficulties all three of the great
American houses which have been compelled to stop, simply
by turning over to them his dshes and tureens, and vases
and candelabra, without diminishing his income by a
farthing ; and there are fifty noble ladies in London, any
one of whom might have put the Messrs. Brown and Co.
in ample funds for all emergencies, merely by making them
a present of her diamonds.
Without taking the Crown
jewels into the account, it is no doubt susceptible of
proof that in London there are gold and silver plate
and jewels to the amount of two hundred millions
of dollars ; and it must be remembered that mighty
as is London, the wealth of the kingdom in wrought
gold and silver is very far from being central there. An
immense quantity of it is scattered among the castles and
country seats of the nobility, such as Alnwick Castle,
Blenheim, Chatsworth, Belvoir, Woburn Abbey, Bowood,
and a hundred others which we could name, and among
the lovely mansions of the country gentlemen, with which
the whole surface of the island is dotted iri thousands.
Then think of the libraries and galleries—the immense and
almost priceless collections of pictures, and statues, and
other costly works of art, in which no country in the
world is richer. Why the whole mercantile wealth of
England is but an item in her riches—a mere item, of corn-
peratively trifling magnitude. The non-payment of our
debt, if it were not paid, which thank Heaven it soon will
be, so far from inflicting a mortal blow upon the prosperity
of the kingdom, would never be felt or thought of, except
as a handy theme for a sarcasm, now and then directed
against republican honesty and honour. The fortune of the
Duke of Bedford, or Northumberland, or Devonshire,
would clear off the whole of it, and nobody but his Grace
be a farthing the poorer.—Commercial Advertiser.
