TO BE SETTLED.

We have now direct and important intelligence from
Washington, that this long dispn'ted, difficult, and dis-
agreeable question, is now very nearly, if not itne.lly
settled.

The result of the negotiations is -this :—The United
States commence the line at the head lake of the St.
Croix river, run it directly north-t 6 Mars fill, thence due
north, till it strikes the St. John's river, at a point a few
miles above the Great Falls. We then run the line along
the course of the St. John's river. until it meets the St.
Francis river.. The line then runs up the St. Francis until
it reaches the southern outlet of the upper lake on the
St. Traneis. This is the most northerly point of the
line. The line then runs south-west and by south for
100. miles in a straight line, at a distance of 25 feet from
the base of the mountains skirting the St. Lawrence
river, until it strikes the N. W.-branch of the riser St.
John. It then runs due south for about 30 miles,Until
it strikes the S. W. branch of the St. John's river ; after
his. it follows the course of that branch up to its sourac.
in the mountains, close to the 'source of the PenobScot
and Metgarmettc riiers, and terminates at the precise
point Where the south-westerly termination of the three
lines previously drawn by the United States, Great Bri-
tain, and the King of the Netherlands, were made to
tzrininate.

The line, in short, varies scarcely a mile either way
froM that laid clown on our, mai) as the line defined by
the King •of the Netherlands. . The tract which we have
given on, the north-eastern border•ot Maine is valuable
to Great Britain, as strengthening her militarrpo-4tion,
hut is not of much importance to.us. . The extent of the
territory can be easily seen from the map.
The General Government are to reimburse Maine for
her expenses in defending .the. disputed territory, and
Massachusetts is to receive nO,OOO dollars from the
United States for her portion of the land which is to he
given up. •
We get Rouse's Point on Lake Champlain, and the
navigation of St. john's River above the Falls ; but, as we
have no access to them below the Falls, the free naviga,
tion of that river under these circumstances, is worth
but little.

Lord Ashburton, Mr. Webster, and the Massachusetts
Commissioners have ail agreed to this arranget444
The Maine Commissioners liave only partially yielded ;
they wish to avoid responsibility, and'are willing to let
this treaty be decided by the U. Senate.
The locofocos are opposed to this treaty, whether from
part, or patriotic motives, we shall see in a few days.
Business is much the same as at the last departure,
and the rate of exchange without alteration.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.
The Money Market has exhibited an unpleasant feel-
ing during the whole day, consequent upon the accounts
from the manufacturing districts. Merchants at Man-
chester represent themselves to have been unable to reach
the Exchange, during the ordinary hours of business,
to transact their usual inattersein consequence of the ob-
. stnictions ; hut by the second delivery, the lettees sip--
pear to convey the impression that the disturbance is,
more to be considered in the light of a dispute between
masters and men, than arising- from any more serious
erase. It would appear, from the general tenour
•of these communications, that' it was probable that
the differences would be shortly arranged ; but it is not
attempted to be concealed, that much matter remains
behind for serious consideration.
Some excitement, more than Ordinary, was exhibited
to have a copy of the Royal Speech. Within a very few
minutes after it was spoken, the Second Edition of 7he
Sun was delivered in the City, which created much
attention, not only from the • extraordinary dispatch --• .- - -

Shares, the market, however, to an extent, participates in
the condition of the Funds. '
Mercantile letters received this morning from Man-
chester, contain very gloomy accounts. Business is said
to be almost wholly suspendede and that scarcely a mill
was at work, and such as were, were obliged to be strongly
,guarded. . Fears were entertained that the move-
ment, which at first was supposed •to be but a dis-
pute ;between the workmen and their . employers,
is of a more serious nature, and connected in some way
with the outbreaks in other parts of the country.
Meanwhile it is stated that • although a large mili-
tary force prevents much open violence, no
remedy has been, or apparently can be, de-
vised for effectually suppressing it. These proceed-
ings are the more to be regretted, from the circumstance
of having occurred just at a period - when an improt ed
state of trade wail apparent. The letters state that
several orders had bean received' from the Continent, as
well as by the last mail from India, the execution of
which must now be stopped, to the serious loss both of
masters and men, neither of Whom, from the late de-
pression, can afford to suffer it.

HERCULES OUTDONE.
The most stupendous effort of human strength and
endurance ever exhibited, or that ever may be again,
was witnessed by a large auditory on Monday even•
log, at the Bowery Theatre. It was announced in
the bills that Mons. Paul was to resist the power
of two of the strongest horses to be found in.
New .-"lrork,- on a wager of one thoune'r
The animals selected to pull al..fainst him were
a pair' of large sized Pennsylvania bred horses,
that are in the daily habit of drawing from- two to
three tons of granite at a load, suspended from an
enormous truck used for that purpose. Paul, after I
firing the cannon, weighing 40011 n, from his shoulders,
and ascending the fireman's rope feet uppermost to the
flies, by means of his hands alone, and other Herein
lean fiats, proceed to place himself horizontally upen-
a strong ladder, made for the purpose, In order to
make the grand effort. The horses were led on 'II
their regular driver, and harnessed to a rope fastsd
to Paul's feet. To this rope was attached thret,
broad rihands or girths, one of which was (lea"
tightly over his loins, and the others. over each
sLoulder. The brace, afforded by his feet against the
step of the ladder, the divided power; of the girths;
his hold with both hands upon the upper part
of • the ladder, constituted his only resistance to
the immense power • he had to contend against.
Paul's body, when thus disposed, resembled that. of a
Tinirgaeter '-upon" the. iniplisitoilaT rack, preparatOry
to being torn to pieces. When the colos.sal horses
were brought upon the stage and attached to the
feet of the intrepid performer, A sensation of horror
seeine+to pervade every part of the • house. It
was. - deemed certain by those having charge of the
horses that he would be drawl) off the ladder.
The word. was given—the harness straightened_
the ladder creaked and strained—the two ropes by
which gne end of it was secured to the stage stretched
and threatened to break; the horses, aided by a plat-
form upon the stage with cleats to brace their feet,
strained every muscle and vein--the well-known
voice of the driver—the lash repeated .again and
again, all failed to force the enduring champion from
his hold. The shouts of the audience—the waving
of handkerehiotl; and the withdrawal of the horses,
proclaimed his triumph. Paul offered to repeat the
perforMance and to resist with one hand and one
foot, but the manager very properly would not
permit it. The audience were satisfied with what
they lia4 Wu, that Paul is beyond all question the
most Powerful man in existence. In order to con-
" 4" the Pubite that there was no trick or deception
in this extraordinary exhibition, Mr. Hamblin invited
a portion of the audience behind the scenes to wit- i
nest the preparations, and examine everything con-
nected 'with liorfbrnianee. Mr. Paul takes his.
beneAt th4.eVening, and pulls against foor horses, be-
sides introducing a variety of other new feats. Moe-
glen- r Paul attained his eighteenth year in March last.
