Exchanges on the South are a lit.:le improved to-day.

We are most happy to say that Brighton will
shortly again be honoured by the presence of her Ma-
jerty. It is expected that the Queen will leave Windsor
for London on the 2d of February, and, after visiting the
national theatres, will come to Brighton op the Bth of
Zobruary.-13riyhten

By the New York Packet Roscoe, which
arrived at Liverpool on Saturday in 19 days
from New York, we have received papers from
that city to the Bth inclusive, four days later
than the former arrivals. The principal intelli-
gence they bring is interesting to our mercantile
classes. On the 3d instant, that portion of the
PRESIDENT'S Message, which relates to the
Tariff was referred to the Committee of mann
factures in the House of Representatives, after a
tie division by the Speaker's casting vote. The
manufacturing interests are well represented in
in the Committee, of which Mr. SALTONSTALL of
Massachusets, is Chairman.
An important meeting of Iron manufacturers
of New Jersey had been held, at which instances
were brought forward of the treatment of the
United States, when they were English Colonies,
to show that England had always endeavoured
to prevent them from becoming a manufacturing
people. The conclusion, however, was, all we
ask, is a reciprocity—if England will close her
ports against our produce, let us retaliate by
levying duties on her manufactured articles.
NICHOLAS BIDDLE, Jos. COWPERTHWAIT, SA-
MUEL JAUDON, JOHN ANDREWS, and THOMAS
DUNLOP, had been charged with a conspiracy to
defraud the stockholders of the Bank of the
United States; and, except ANDREWS and Cow-
PERTHWAIT, who did not appear, were held to
bail in *lO,OOO each to appear before the Re-
corder. The Attorney-General of New York as-
sumes the direction of the prosecution.
A Treasury Note Bill had been introduced,
and proposes an issue, or re-issue of 5,000,009
dollars. The Bill, it is said, is certain to pass,
as the majority on the first stage was 133 to 33,
but the House of Representatives seemed in no
disposition to hurry it to a conclusion. The pe-
cuniary embarrassments of the treasury continued.
The Bill for establishing a Fiscal Agent, or, as
it is now called, the Board of Exchequer Bill,
bad been strongly opposed by Mr. WOODBURY,
the ex-Secretary of the Treasury, and seems by
no means popular.

Attempts which have been made to promote
repudiation in Pennsylvania have signally failed,
not one repudiator was to be found in the licluse
of Representatives.

In Maryland a Bill has been reported, which
provides for the resumption of payment of all
notes and liabilities of the banks in twenty days
after the passing of the Bill. A refusul to re-
deem, or the issue of post notes, forfeits the
Chartei of the Bank.

Governor SEWARD, of New York, had opened
the Legislature of that State by a long Message,
which is said to have agreeably surprised the
people by the statement that the indebtedness
of New York is only '17,000,000 dollars. It re-
commends some alterations in the banking sys-
tem. He disapproves of rechartering banks ;
when the term of the charter expires, if the
business of community requires the aid of another,
a new one ought to be established.

The whole amount of banking capital in the State of
New York is 23,559,374 dol., of which 18,409,374 dol.
is subject to tax on dividends, and banks holding
10,836,145 dol. of this did not accept the Revenue Act
of last May, authorising a loan of three millions. The
whole amount of the loan taken by the accepting banks
is 1,756,650 dol., leaving 1,343,349 dol. 32c., which has
not been received.

PASSENGERS TO NEW YORK.—The Health Commis-
sioner makes the following statement of the number of
passengers arrived at the Port of New York for these
two last years :-
1840.—Foreign—Cabin 4,324

3,769 Decrease.
Passengers from domestic ports, by sea :-1840, 7,490
1841, 8,920; increase, 1,438.
The following is a comparative statement of the num-
ber of arrivals and passengers for the last seven years:—
Ships. Passengers.
1835 2,094 35,303
1836 2,293 60541
1837 2,071 57,,975

1839 2,159 48,152
1840 1,953 62,797
1841 2,118 57,337
The diminution in the number of passengers from
foreign ports the past year was experienced in the early
portion of the season, and is attributable to the apprehen-
sions which then existed in Europe of a war between
Great Britain and the United States, in consequence of
the affair of M`Leod.
Fanny Elssler has taken the whole cabin of the barque
Louisa, which is to sail from Philadelphia for Havannah

In the United States District Court at Portland, it has
been decided that the tackle, apparel, and furniture of a
foreign vessel wrecked upon our shore, and landed and
sold separate from the hull, are not goods, wares, and
merchandise imported into the United States within the
meaning of the revenue laws. Also, that goods taken and
landed from a foreign vessel wrecked upon the coast,
are not subject to forfeiture under the 50th section of the
Act of March 2, 1799, ch. 122, by being landed without
a permit from the collector.
The news from Venezuela was to the 14th September.
The most profound tranquillity previdled throughout
the Republic. The question of defining the boundary
line between the territory of Guiana and Venezuela,
had alone occasioned some little excitement, but nothing
serious.
