This law will at once impart animation to the manu-
facturing and commercial interests, and of course to
all others, while it renders lawful the collection of the
revenue, made since June 30, on at least doubtful
authority. _ _

The state of the Treasury is such as to need all the
aid that can'be given by this Act, both in direct re-
venue and in raising the credit of the United States
securities.
According to an official communication of the act-
ing Secretary of the Tr usury, of the 23d inst., the
present liabilities of the I►epartment are--
On account of Civil, Diplomatic, and Mis•
cellaneous Services, estuaated at. 5200,000
Service of Military Departz.zent, estimated at 1,500,000
Service of Navy Department, estimated at 775,000
Treasury Notes due and payable, but, while
continuing to bear intevest under the pro-
visions of the Act of April 15, probably
will not be required to be paid beyond the
$lOO,OOO mentioned in my letter of yes-
terday

1,400,000

3,875,000
To this is to be added the amount retained to meet the
payment of trust funds, the sum estimated as payable to
the States under the Distribution Act, the interest pay-
able on the pubfic debt on Sept. 30, and the amount
which will probably be required for redemption of Trea-
sury notes and interest, being an aggregate of $1,180,000.
Against this aggregate of about five millions of

dollars, there are no "available funds" in the Trea-
sury, except the above sum held in trust and for dis-
tributiOn,.c

The Treasury estimate of funds to accrue from the
Customs up:: to January next, is four and a half
millions, and from miscellaneous sources 50,000
dollars. The estimate, however, was made under
existing laws,; the new tariff law must increase the
amount.

. The whole amount of Treasury notes. which in con-
formity with law, may yet be issued on 22d instant,
Was only 116,931 dollars—not. including Treasury
notes, .paid in for lands, and re-issuable.
The whole amount of stock of the twelve million
loan sold, is less than two millions ! - of which all but a
spill fraction issued at par in, payment of debts, was
sold at 2 1.2 per cent. discount for a 6 per cent. stock.
In this condition of the Treasury a Bill has. passed
the House of Representatives, and will doubtless be-
come a law, authorising the issue of Treasury notes
to the amount of six millions of dollars, in lieu of an
equal amount of the 6 per cent. stock still unsold, and
forbidding the sale of anymore stock under par, or the
issue of any certificates of stock for debts due by the
Government, or in any other way, than for a bona fide
loan. •

As this will only leave about four millions of dollars
to be borrowed on loan, wepresume, now that revenue
is provided and the amount of the stock to he 'issued
is ascertained, that this will readily be obtained at
par, while the six millions of Treasury notes will aid
to furnish a general circulating medium.
On the whole, therefore, unpromising as appear-
ancts have been and low as is the actual state of the
United States Treasury, we look forward with con-
fidence to better times and more assured credit.
Congress will adjourn this day, after a session as
eventful as any in our annals.
The occurrences and measures above referred to
are still so recent (indeed some not yet complete),
that their effect upon the market for United States
or State Stocks, and on the commercial or money
market generally, cannot he appreciated. That the
tendency, is upward all feel, but to what extent re-
mains yet to be seen.
The State of Pennsylvania has advertised all her
public works for sale, agreeing to receive in payment
State Stock at par—this stock ranges now, as it is a
5 or 6 per cent stock, from 40 to 44, so that the
temptation to buy is very great. No limitation or
reservation to price is made in the notice inviting
proposals, which are to be sealed and received up
to —. The works cost about thirty millions of
dollars. What the result of this effort may be, to
get rid of debt, and at the same time getting rid of
the sources of income, remains to he seen.
New York State Stock, and that of Ohio and Ken-
tucky, are firm, and our quotations show a small
advance over the rates of the 15th.

Illinois Bonds have been more in demand, and the
impression seems to prevail that the Legislature of this
State will, at the next session, take some decided
steps to resuscitate the credit of the State.
Exchange is in fair demand, and our best City
sellers ask and obtain 7 1-2 per cent. for moderate
amounts. The supply is not large, but is fully equal
to the demand.

The promise of the cotton crop continues favour-
able to a very large yield. The new is already
coming freely into market at New Orleans, and selling
at very low prices, ranging from 4 1-2 cts. to 8 ets.
Augusta (Ga.) dates of the 24th, quote the extreme
of that market for new cotton at from 4 to 8 cts.

The wheat crop has realised the utmost hopes. At
Rochester (the great flour manufactary of the State),
wheat sells, not freely, at from 81 to 85 cts., the sup-
ply outrunning the demand. At Cleve and Ohio, it
is quoted at 62 cts.

WASHINGTON, TUESDAY, AUG. 30.
Nothing of interest to-day. There is still a quorum
in attendance, and much more than a quorum in
town ; but the certainty of an adjournment to-morrow
compels many Members to leave the House fora por-
tion of the day, " to settle up," and arrange their af-
fairs here, preparatory to leaving to-morrow evening,
or Thursday morning.
Acontemptible and malignant
slander on Congress has been circulated in advance by
many papers,—to the effect that there would "be no
quorum in the House on the question of concurrence
in Tariff amendments on Monday."
A perfectly unfounded, unwarranted, gratuitous
falsehood ! The votes during the last ten days will
show that the attendance of Members has averaged
better than during the greater part of the session.
The vote on the Tariff yesterday exhibited 185 Mem-
bers present at that moment, and there were many
more in the Capitol in the course of the day. The
votes on various questions on Friday and Saturday
showed nearly 200 Members present.
The calumny should be retracted by those papers
that have given it currenoy.-
In the hurry of preparation for departure it is al-
most impossible to write to-day ; and no interest is
manifested in the very unimportant remaining pro-
ceedings before the two Houses.
The House is in Committee of the whole on Mr.
Wise's Bill for the re-organisation of the Navy de-
partment. Messrs. King and Wise have debated
the Bill.
The Committee of the whole reported the Bill to
the House with many amendments. The House con-
curred and passed the Bill ; but the multitude of
amendments requiring the concurrence of the Senate
will probably delay the Bill so much as to defeat it.
The Senate have passed the Fortification Bill and
some private Bills this morning. They have done
some glorious work in Executive session lately.
They rejected five Tyler nominees yesterday—among
them were Joseph Graham, of Cincinnati (the reci-
pient of Tyler's famous anti-Congressional letter),
and Col. Starke, of Mississippi (Wise's witness in the
race-course encounter with Stanly)—both nominated
as Commissaries under the Choctaw Treaty of Dane-
ing Rabbit Creek.
In place of Francis J. Grand, Mr. Mann, of Cin-
cinnati, a very competent and acceptable person, has
been nominated and confirmed as Consul at Bremen.
Mr. Sanchez, nominated as Marshal of East Florida.,
has also been rejected—an act of signal justice, al-
ready too long delayed. They have also refused to
reinstate Capt. Clack, of the Navy.
The President had this morning communicated to
the House the fact that he has approved and signed
the Tariff Bill !
At the same time he sent to. the house a very long,
bitter, abusive, and wordy Protest against Mr.
Adams's Veto Report, and against various other pro-
ceedings of Congress. It is a very laboured defence
of his peculiar course against the Whigs. -It was
taken up at half-past two o'clock (after a call of the
House, which exhibited more than 140 members in
attendance), and was read.
The reading is not yet finished. Mr. Adams is
watching like a tiger for the floor.
In their action on this
strange production, the
House will be strictly governed by the precedent
established by the votes of Senator John Tyler and his
Whig associates in the Senate, on the
question of the
disposal of Jackson's
protest in 1834, or thereabouts.
M.& 20.—We have,
o
Pia New Orleans, a few itemsf
intelligence from Mexico.
Santa Anna was ox-
eessively enraged at Mr. Webster's letters to the in-
solent Bocanegra, but whether his anger will assume
a substantial form we do not learn. The expedition
of 7,000 Mexican troops to .
the Texian frontier was
covertly going on..
The schooner Wateradi,
--hi and several other vessels
in the harbour of Vera Cruz, had been put in requi-
sition as transports.
Considerable sums in silver
from Tampico and Vera are about to be shipped
Cruz to New Orleans. The
steamer Dee brought 52,000
Lizardi and Co. dollars to the house of

of a perfect master. It will scarcely occupy a column
of the Union; Should the orders be removed in time
for the four o'clock train, I will forward You some
copies by the editor's mail.
The President has signed and returned to the House
the Tariff Bill. Where is the censure now ? The
Bill is bad enough in all conscience, but it is not
coupled with the land clause, and he put his name to
it this day.

The Election District Bill, and the Bill to repeal the
land clause, are both up, and will pass before Congress
adjourns. If in time to allow him to write his reasons,
they will both be vetoed ; if not, he must put them in
his pocket, and let them die a natural death.

THE "GREAT BRITAIN," or " MAM-
MOTH," IRON STEAM-SHIP.

The " Great Britain," or, as she is often called, the
"Mammoth" steam-ship, now in course of construc-
tion by the Great Western Company at Bristol, is fast
progressing tom,ards completion. During the recent
visit of the Duke of Cambridge, his Royal Highness
honoured the vessel with a minute examination, and
expressed himself in terms of warm admiration of
"the most gigantic specimen of naval architecture"
he had ever seen. His Royal Highness is reported to
have said, " She is justly named ' The Great Britain,'
and is a noble specimen of British skill and enter-
prise: I feel that no other nation on the earth could
produce such a ship, and that she will truly be one of
the wonders of the world." It is expected that she
will be ready to float out of dock about the middle of
October, and that she will be at once fitted out and
be ready for sea in the spring.
The following particulars respecting her cannot fail
to be of considerable interest :—Her length is 324
feet aloft, which is nearly 100 feet longer than the
longest line-of-battle ship in our service ; with the
exception of her deck and cabins, she is constructed
entirely of iron. Her extreme breadth is 51 feet ;
the depth of her hold 32 feet ; and her registered ton-
nage 3,200, which far exceeds the registered tonnage
of any two steam-ships in the world. She has four
decks, three of timber, and the fourth, which is the
lowest, of iron, this latter being appropriated to the
reception of cargo. The uppermost deck will be,
with the exception of a small break in -the fore-
castle, 'flush from end to end, and without ele-
vation or building of any kind, so that there
will be nothing above deck, with the' exception
of her masts and funnel, to offer resistance to a
head wind. Th-: two intermediate decks are ex-
clusively for the use of the passengers andthe officers
of the ship ; they will form four spacious saloons
(which, together, will make a length... of dining-
room of 350 feet), two commodious and elegant la-
dies' saloons, or cabins, and 180 state-rooms, each of
which will contain two sleeping-berths, of more than
the ordinary dimensions. From this it will be seen
that the Great Britain will afford ample accommoda-
tion to 360 passengers, providing a separate bed for
each, without making up a single sofa be in either
of the saloons, and this, too, without trenching on the
accommodations provided for her officers, crew, stew-
ards' department, &c. The principal . saloon will be
most extensive and magnificent ; its length from end
to end will measure 108 feet, its width will be 32 feet,
and its height 8 feet 3 inches. Scow slight idea of
the bulk of this gigantic vessel may be formed, when
it is stated that in addition to the,. vast space before
described as appropriated to passengers, &c., and that
required for the erection of her boilers, engines, &c.,
she will have room for 1,000 tons. of coal, and 1,200
tons of merchandise.

The Great Britain will be fitted, with four engines
of 250-horse power each, in all 1,000-horse power.
She will have three boilers, capable of containing 200
tons of water, and these will be heated by 24 different
fires. In her construction there. have been used no
less than 1,400 tons of iron, in addition to the large
quantity of timber required for her decks and cabins.
Thus far of the construction of the hull, &c. The
great experiment which this gigantic steamer is des-
tined to solve is one of vast importance in maritime
science. She will not be propelled by the ordinary
mode, with paddles, but by the newly invented screw
propeller, which has been patented by Mr. Smith, of
London, and the successful application of which to the
Archimedes steamer has created a feeling of confi-
dence that it is destined to effect a cOmplete revolution
in the practice of steam navigation.
With a view to a thorough and searching investiga-
tion of the powers of the screw, and its applicability
to the purposes for which their new vessel is designed,
the Great iVestern Steam-ship (lompany hired the
Archimedes for several months, and in the course of
the autumn of 1841, they made a series of experiments
with screws of various forms and sizes, the result of
which was, that it was found that equal velocity and
as great power could be obtained with the screw as
with the use of paddles, and that the screw conferred
a great advantage on vessels propelled by it under
adverse circumstances, more particularly in the case
of strong head winds. The machinery of the screw is
likewise far more simple than that of the paddles, and
it is by no means so great an incumbrance to the
vessel. Under these circumstances, it was resolved by
the Company not to use the paddle, but to adopt the
screw, with such improvements as had been suggested
in the course of the various experiments.
The screw with which the Great Britain will be
fitted is 16 feet in diameter, and it will be placed
under the stern between the stern-post and the run of
the ship, which situation is selected, as placing it out
of the reach of accidents, to which, in many others, it
would be liable. According to the calCulations of
men of nautical skill and experience, the substitution
of the screw propeller for paddle-wheels will relieve
the ship of fully 100 tons of top-weight, while it will,
at the same time, admit of the boilers and' engines
being adjusted in that part of the vessel best adapted
for their reception, and where they can best act as
permanent ballast.
The Great Britain will be fitted with six masts. Of
these the mainmast alone will be rigged with topmast
and yards. The other five will carry a single fore and
aft sail each. The height of the mainmast will be 95
feet, and the canvass composinc, the several sails be
sufficient to cover an area of three' quarters of an acre.
It is intended to fit up the saloons, &c., with a degree
of elegance becoming a ship of such an extraordinary
character, and the whc e of her fittings will be such,
as to ensure the comfort of the passengers, and adorn
and beautify the ship.

FRACAS
BETWEEN J. E. TENNENT, ESQ., M.P., AND
EX-SUB SHERIFF WM. CALDBECK, ESQ.

We have received the following letter from a cor-
respondent in Belfast :
" BELFAST, SATURDAY.—YOU must be aware that,
owing to the late election compromise, great discon-
tent exists among the Tories of this town. One party—
which maybe called the Tennent or Compromise party
—is exceedingly anxious to have all future elections
for the borough arranged like the last one. By this,
Emerson Tennent would be saved the cost of a contest
—he would retain his seat without expense to himself
or his party, and this is of paramount moment in the
present exhausted state of their finances. But there is
a very large party of Tories opposed to the Compro-
misers. This party is mostly composed of thorough;
paced Orangers and Ultras from various places in
the neighbourhood of Belfast, who can scarcely be
said to be connected with the town either by property
or residence. These intermeddlers are exceedingly
noisy and boisterous and take great state upon
them. They talk as if all constitutional principle was
confided to their custody, and the fate of the entire
party depended upon their exertions. Of this party
Mr. Wm. Caldbeck, for many years Sub-Sheriff, at
times both of Down and Antrim, is a very prominent
and noisy member. He opposed the late compromise,
and has made himself rather too conspicuous in de-
nouncing all concerned therin.

" Some days ago a meeting was held in this town,
for the ostensible purpose of adopting measures to
heal the dissensions which have sprung up among, the
Tories. Very few of the compromise party attended,
and the Ultras had it all their own way. Some very
strong language was used relative to the compromise;
and, among the rest, Mr. Caldbeck made some allu-
sions to Emerson Tennent, which were anything but
complimentary to that gentleman's conduct or cha-
racter. The consequence was, that, on last Satur-
day, Mr. Tennent chanced to meet Mr, Caldbeek in
the street,' When some altercation took place ; and, as
the town-talk runs, Emerson Tennent comported him-
self in such a manner that Mr. Caldbeck—though
rather obtuse, it is said, in such matters--could not
by any means get over considering it as personally
insulting. The meeting was abruptly terminated
by Emerson Tennent refusing, in the most con-
temptuous manner, to hold any further conversation
with Mr. Caldbeck. Finding no other alternative
available, Mr. Caldbeck sent a friend to Emerson Ten..
nent, not, as report says, to demand satisfaction, but
to effect a reconciliation, whereupon a correspondence ,
took place between the parties, which resulted in Mr.
Caldbeck expressing himself satisfied somewhat after
the fashion of Shakspeare's gallant hero of the leek !'
" Though this fracas has been the subject of town
gossip during the week, it has not found its way into
any of the local papers—wherefore I know not. L
need not trouble you with all the various rumours re-
lative to the purport of the correspondence. said to
have passed between the parties; the general impres-
slob, however, is, that Emerson Tennent, knowing
well his man, i3lurtpreq bravely, and maintained a gal-
lant bearing throughout ; while 11r, ggicNck, though
exceedingly valiant in executing her Majesty's writs
off/. fa., failed to evince the same physical daring when
unsupported by such authority."—Dublin Monitor.

At the Mansion-house, yesterday, a native of
Switzerland, named Gabriel Arnbita, was brought be•
fore the Lord Mayor, charged with having committed an
e.xteosive fompry. A lengthened inquiry took place ;
but the Lord Mayol:, considering that the evidence
against the prisoner was very defective, remanded him
tilj further evidence could be obtained.
