A.MERICAN NEWS

(EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.)
The Southerner, Captain Palmer, which sailed from
New York on the 10th ult., arrived at Liverpool last
night. The packet-ship, Stephen Whitney, was to
sail next day.
In the Senate, on the 10th ult., Mr. Calhoun of-
fered a resolution, calling for information in regard
to the case of the murder and mutiny on board
of the Creole, and asking what steps the Exe-
cutive had taken in reference to the transaction,
having for its object the punishment of the guilty,
the redress of the wrong done to American
citizens, and the insult offered to the American
flag. On the 11th the resolution was taken up
for consideration. Some debate having arisen on
the proosal of an amendment to substitute
" persons" for " slaves," Mr. Calhoun condemned
publications which had applauded and justified
the mutiny and murder, the tendency and ob-
ject of which were to fortify the pretensions of
Great Britain in hostility to the rights of the
from their lethargy, and to guard against combi-
United States. He warned the south to awaken
nations ever menacing their institutions. Se-
veral gentlemen having delivered their sentiments
on the subject, Mr. Clay rose to deliver his. lie
had, he said, witnessed the occurrence on board the
Creole with deep regret, because it added infinitely
to existing difficulties with Great Britain. A case
had occurred, in which by mutiny and murder a ves-
sel was thrown in the power of Great Britain ;
were they to give up the murderers, or to indemnify
the United States or not ? If not, then Americans
were denied the freedom of their own coasting trade,
and no vessels could sail from one port to another in
the southern Atlantic border without incurring the
risk of seizure. He hoped that Great Britain would
see the necessity of doing America justice in this case.
Mr. Calhoun's resolution was adopted rem con.
The latest advices from Washington stated, that the
Bankrupt Act would not be repealed "at present."
A draught, drawn by Mr. Everett, the American
Minister at the Court of St. James's, for 12,000 dol.,
negotiated in London, has been protested at Wash-.
ington for non-payment, the department having
nothing to offer but Treasury notes, and not feeling
at liberty to pay them except at par.
Resolutions were before the Legislature of the
State of New York strongly condemning_ the
doctrine of repudiation of debts, as sanctioned
by and acted upon by several States. "We
now," says the Journal of Commerce, " breathe
more freely that we discover an honest purpose on
the part of our fellow-countrymen not to turn
swindlers and knaves." The Legislature of Penn-
sylvania had agreed to resolutions also strongly
condemnatory of the infamous repudiation doctrine.
The packet ship, George Washington, from Liver-
pool, arrived at New York on the 12th ult.
The stock, money, and produce markets, had not
undergone any material change. The rate of ex•
change on London continued the same.

STOPPAGE OF THE ISLE OF
WIG HT BANKING ESTABLISHMENT.
(FROM a CORRESPONDENT.)
NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT, rex• S.—This highly respectable
and old established firm stopped payment at one o'clock this day,
and filled this town with consternation, there being no run upon it.
There is no doubt but the malicious reports circulated to the dis.
credit of Sir R. Bassett and Co.'s bank, and the consequent run
upon it, also injured the Messrs. Kirkpatrick's circulation, and
caused many of the deposits to be withdrawn ; still their credit
stood very high, and their stoppage must ruin many and injnre
hundreds. Their principal circulation was in Newport and Ryde.
(FURTHER PARTICULARS.)
EWPORT, ISLE W WIGHT, JULY 6.--This town V 715 thrown
into the greatest consternation, yesterday, by the stoppage of the
old established bank of Messrs. Kirkpatrick and Co. It uppears
to have taken place in consequence of Messrs. Rogers and Co., their
London agents, not honouring their orders to pay the acceptances
&c., due in London on the 4th, of which they say they had not
if so, tradesmen are in nice hands.
t
r;s as to the ultimate loss ; some say they
tNh'aeri osulisglai trees theint i
will be able to pay in full, others that there will not be fire shil-
lings in the pound. It looks bad their stopping in the absence of
any rnn upon them : a good man may be run to a stand still, and
stop, but when a man falls NI about any visible cause
it looks :as if there was something weak about his constitution.
The Messrs. Kirkpatrick have been always close men of business,
living at no expense, with a high character for honourable deal-
ings, but they have met with many losses, not by speculations, but
by over.confldence in parties doing business wish them. Their
principal circulation was in Newport and Ryde, at which latter
place they had a branch bank, but the number of failures
lately has very much contracted their issues of paper.
Quite a panic prevails, to stop the consequences of
which a notice has been posted, signed by Sir It. Simeon, Bart.,
G. H. Ward, Esq., Mr. John Cooke, Mr. E. Way, and fitly other
landowners, merchants, and tradesmen, expressing their confidence
in the banking establishment of Sir R. Bassett, and Co., and their
willingness to take their notes as cash. This ought to restore
confidence, the above four names only standing like as many
hundred thousand pounds, but people are so frightened that no-
thing but gold or Bank of England notes will do for them now.
Their liabilities in Cowes do not exceed six thousand pounds,
but they are very heavy in other parts of the island,

OPENINGS OF AILWA YS The present
month is cot only of importance ,!in account of the numerous
half-yearly meetings of Railway u°
a3panies, but also as three
in portant openings take place. On the 7th the Gosport
Junction is opened for passenger traffic, or. the 10th the His-
mingham and Derby new entrance to Birmingham, and on
the 17th the Edinburgh and Glasgow line. All these are
events which will be looked forward to with interest.—Rail-
way Magazine of this day.
THE LATE DUKE OF CLEVELAND.—The
demise of this nobleman, so many years ardently attached to the
sports of the turf, occasions nut only a vacancy in the office of
Steward of Doncaster races this year, but renders null and void
all the nominations which appear in the name of the late Noble
Duke. The Hon. Col. Anson is named as likely to be the new
steward of the great meeting in the north.
THE STEAM-SHIP CALEDONIA.--LIVER-
row., SATURDAY.—The Royal mail steam-ship Caledonia,
Captain Lott, sailed from this port yesterday, for Halifax and
Boston. She carries out seventy passengers, and the largest
mails yet shipped by this line of steamers.
On Saturday an inquest was held by Mr.Carttar,
at the Spanish Galleon, public-house, Church-street, Green-
wich, on the body of a handsome young female, named Miss
Emma Couldery, aged twenty, who committed self-destruction.
The Jury returned a uerdict of Insanity.
THE SHEFFIELD AND GRINIBSBY RAIL-
WAY.—A correspondent informs us that it is in contemplation
to make a railway from Grimsby to Sheffield, to communicate
with the Manchester and Sheffield Railway ; this will shorten
the route from Liverpool to Grimsby upwards of 30 miles.—
