or by extraction now form no inconsiderable portion
of the citizens of " the United States." We speak
of our American brethren as an Anglo-Saxon race.
Perhaps " ethnologists " may discover that " a
Celtic race" would be a more correct descrip-
tion. The most hackneyed scribes cannot ac.
cuse the inhabitants cf the new world of wrAnt
of energy or determination, or speak of them as a
" doomed nation." They will reserve their revilings
for those who still linger on their native shores—who
have yet preserved their allegiance to our most Gra-
cious SOVEREIGN. They are still "the most degraded
of their :species," reproaches are still showered upon
them, as if the degrees of comparison could only be
discovered in Ireland,—the peasants being " bad," the
occupiers " worse," and the landowners the very
worst of human beings. These scurrilous calumnia.
tors forget the old adage—
. " Calunt non animam mutant, qui trans mare currant."

The Assemblie Nationale has the following brief
remarks on the Ministerial crisis :—" All the reports
in circulation relative to Ministerial combinations
should be received with great reserve. If we are well
informed, the PRESIDENT is more undecided than ever,
and the nearer the day approaches when he is to an-
nounce his final determination the more he desires to
postpone any decision on the law of May 31, and on
the change of Ministry. It must nevertheless be
admitted that a conviction is felt at the Elysee, that
the Cabinet is much shaken, and that, under any cir-
cumstances, the opening of the Parliament cannot
arrive without material modifications being made in
it." The Journal des Dikats, in a few words, confirms
the above account so far as to no decision having been
come to.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the Bth have arrived.

The Herald() states that a Ministerial crisis has
arisen owing to the Minister of Marine, General
ARINIERO, having offered his resignation ; but it adds
in a postscript that the General has, on the solicitation
of the Marquis DE MIRATLORES, Minister for Foreign
Affairs, consented to retain his portfolio for the pre-
sent. The cause of M. ARMERO'S wish to retire
is said to be his opposition to granting certain
recompenses demanded by the Captain-General
of Cuba to the persons who distinguished
themselves in resisting the invasion of the bands of
LOPEZ; the Minister of War and the majority of the
other Ministers being of opinion that the recompenses
ought to be accorded. There is no other news of
political importance in the Spanish journals. The
English fleet arrived in the port of itosas on the 30th
ult., and was to remain eight days. Admiral PARKER
and his family had frequently landed.

public at the Bank of England, and there is a fair at-
tendance of annuitants. It frequently occurs, however,
that immediately upon the re-opeuing oc the Transfer-
books, sales of stock are made, and there is a
change of investment or a determination to keep money
lying unemployed and await a favourable opportunity.
At present the very unsettled state of the French
Ministry militates against the influence of the favourable
revenue. A serious question begins also to be now
mooted by the speculators for a fall, viz., the probable
abolition of the income•tax, and a consequent excess of
national expenditure. There is, however, ample time
to consider all this, and judicious reduction of expendi-
ture would partly, if not wholly, meet the case, allowing
that Parliament abolished the tax instead of modifying
it, as many expect.

We regret to state that a large failure has occurred
this morning, that of Mr. Thomas Al'sop, esteemed, and
no doubt until lately, really a wealthy member of the
Stock Exchange. Mr. All-op is stated to be a Bear of
Consols and a Bull of shares. The event has caused
unfeigned regret. This is settling-day in the English
market, and Consols have been 964 to 97 for Transfer,
and 96i to 97 for November 12. The New Three-and-
a-Quarter per Cents. are 97i to 974. Bank Stock is

SUGAR.—There was an improved demand for British
Plantation; sales 1,170 hhds, at prices establishing an
occasional advance of 6d since this day week. A sal ill
parcel of Mauritius and Bengal, in public sale, also
went well, and a fair business has been done privately
at rather fuller prices.

spirited competition, and the whole sold at 33a Gcl to
40s 6d. The quantity of British Plantation landed last
week at the Emit and West India Docks was 4,207 hkds,
669 tierces, 772 barrels; there were taken for home
consumption 1,674 hhds, 163 tierces, 874 barrels. The

drawn, there being no buyers on previous terms.
CocoA.—At Auction 100 bags Bahia were held for
27s and 28s, the highest offer being 265.

A RAILWAY ENGINEER AND AN IRISH BOG.—At a
place called Knock-a-naugh, about 73 miles from Cork, the
engineer of the Great Southern and Western Railway of
Ireland met with a bog, which for a long time defied all his
ingenuity. His attempts to fill it up with firm earth totally
failed. It swallowed up every one of the numerous loads
cast into it, and gaped for more, making nothing of the
energetic measures thus taken to destroy it. A locomotive
engine fell a sacrifice to its insatiable nature, for having ven-
tured too far it was taken in by the bog, and has never been
seen since; it now lies in the bog at some unknown depth
below the railway. At length the engineer overcame the
difficulty of the bog by stratagem, not force. Finding the
bog was too much for all the loads of solid stuff he could put
upon it, and was not to be filled up, he compassed his object
by floating the rails across it, which was done by wooden
rafters. By this means the bog is made to bear the rails
as firmly as any other part of this extremely well-laid rail-
way, and the great trouble it once gave is now only matter
of recollection.

MEXICO.—NEW ORLEANS, THURSDAY, SEPT. 25.
—We have received news from Mexico to the 25th of
August. The country generally was quiet. The papers
notice the death of General Carrosas. General Morin had
been censured for surrendering the Almagre and Sarabia,
the two American vessels
i seized at Tehuantepec. An in-
surrection has broken out n the central American states of
San Salvador and Guatemala. General Carrera, with a force
of 1,500 men, had attacked the enemy in San Salvador, who
mustered 4,000 strong, and defeated them, with a loss of four
men killed. He then evacuated the country.
FUNERAL OF THE LATE EARL OF LIVERPOOL.—
The mortal remains of the late Right Hon. Charles Cecil
Cope, Earl of Liverpool, were interred on Friday last in Bux-
ted Church, Sussex, near to the splendid mansion of the de-
ceased nobleman. Colonel Harcourt, it. N. Jenkinson, Esq.,
and other relatives attended the obsequies.
THE RAILWAY DOCKS AT GRIMSBY.—This exten-
sive undertaking, the foundation stone of which, it will be
remembered, was laid by his Royal Highness Prince Albert,
with great ceremony, is now nearly completed.
THE TEA TRADE, OCT. 13.—The market has
been steady, and the deliveries in London increased last week,
being 623,450. lb., or about 58,0001 b. more than at the corre-
sponding period of last year.

EARLY WINTER.—Benny-gloe and the higher
range of the Grampians were covered with snow on Monday
morning, for the second time this autumn.—Edinburgh
