The accounts present few features of importance. Tin
commercial advices we give'below in detail ; and the poli,
tical consist merely ofthe publicatinu of an announcemert
by Mr. Clay, that • hecannot accept his nomination fel
the dignity of Presideut_if it be tendered to him."

The Boston Atlas,.of :the 20th.states that the money
market continued stringent; the banks being unable to
supply the usual demand for business purposes owing to
the continued requirements forAtrifitrished railways. The
merchants were in a saund.conditioa, and determined to
act with cautious prudence.
From Canada we learn that.the,Trlen. William Hamil-
ton Merritt had received,the appointment of President of
the Council.

Buenos Ayres accounts to 'the 'Nth July quote doub-

state that the Island of Apipe, belonging to the Argen-
tine Republic, and lately possesseti by the Corrientes
troops, had been taken brforces from Paraguay, and the

captors forced all the inhabitants ,to leave within three
days. The Corrientes government had informed Rosas
of this fact, and were awaiting his answer to know how to
act.

Accounts from Venezuela to the 20th August are
entirely uninteresting. No event of moment had occur-
red.

Stewart's Circular says:—ln regard to future supply, it is
all sufficient at present to say that the weather, this month,
has not been so propitious for the crop as we would wish, and
it must be borne in mind, that it is absolutely necessary for a
yield equal to the last, that we should have hot and dry wea-
ther at the Southwest for the next two months. So far, the
weather has been changeable in Texas. So, Alabama, and
Louisana. From Mississippi and Ten'-essee, there are less
complaints, and from the Atlantic States, none. From this
last section there is every indication of a yield larger than last
year. For a crop of 2,600,00 u bales, it will be requisite that
the picking season should at least be good until the Ist Jan.
next ; and whether there is negro force enough in the country
to do it by that time, is extremely problematical. In the last
crop many fields were advantageously picked as late as Febru-
ary; but such a season, so continuously dry, and with a total
absence from wind-storms, has never heretofore been experi-
enced, and ought not to be calculated on. About 3,506 bales of
the new crop bave been received at the ports." The closing
rates in this market were as annexed :

The French Government received on Wednesday a dis-
patch from Bayonne, announcing that the Duchess de
Montpensier had been safely delivered of a daughter.
In consequence of very serious disturbances at Cologne,
martial law has been proclaimed, and the radical papers
have been suppressed.
It is calculated that there must have been, throughout
Egypt, upwards of 16,000 victims to the cholera ; but the
exact number of cases is not known, as a register was kept
of the deaths only.

SUTTEE ABOLISHED.—A Calcutta paper mentions, as
a sign of the decline of the Hindoo superstition, that a
Hindoo widow of the Brahmin caste was lately married to
a respectable man of the same caste.

According to accounts received from Canada by the last
mail, the health of the Countess of Elgin was in a fair
way of permanent. improvement. It is now understood
that the noble earl has abandoned all idea of retiring from
his high office for the present.

The National Assetiibly received, on Wednesday even-
ing, the proposition that two legislative chambers shall
exist under the new constitution. The funds rose in
Paris on Wednesday, because of the proposition to raise a
loan for the French Government in London, it is said, of
300,000,000 f. (X 12,000,000.) The conciliatory character
of Prince Louis Napoleon's speech to the Assembly also
contributed to the return of confidence and a rise of one
per cent. in Stock.
Louts NAPOLEON AND THE FRENCH ARTISTS.—A
great many engravings and lithographs respecting Louis
Napoleon have just been published in Paris. A litho-
graph was seen on Monday representing France wearing a
crown, and Napoleon rising from the tomb presenting to
her his four nephews—Napoleon, son of Jerome; Lucien
Murat, son Murat ; Louis, son of the ex-King of Hol-
land ; and Pierre, son of Lucien. The inscription was,
" Napoleon presenting his four nephews to France." The
Prefect of Police is said to have caused the lithograph to
be seized.

INSURRECTION IN BADEN.—Some skirmishing took
place at Bockenheim, on the night of the 24th, between
the military and the insurgents. The rails between
Darmstadt and Wernheim were torn up during the night,
and a train (luckily empty) precipitated over an embank-
ment into a canal. Troops were ordered to the disturbed
districts, and the insurrection was suppressed. The
leader, Gustavus Struve, was taken and shot pursuant to
martial law.

ARRIVAL OF Loris NAPOLEON IN PARIS.—The new-
ly-elected representative arrived in Paris early on Tues-
day, in the most unostentatious manner. Few were ac-
quainted with the fact, except his own immediate rela-
tions, until after he had made his appearance in flails-
sembly, which, being at the moment altogether unex-
pected, created great sensation within its walls. His
election having been declared valid, he immediately
ascended the tribune, and delivered a written speech,
remarkable for its brevity, modesty, and good sense.
He begged the Republic to receive his oath of gratitude,
after so many years of exile, and pledged himself to unite
most cordially with his fellow representatives for the
maintenance of tranquillity, and to devote all his faculties
to the defence of the Republic. At the close of his address,
which was received without any particular manifestation
of feeling, Louis Napoleon returned to his seat on the
left. Little or no excitement was exhibited out of the
Assembly.

A SAD; REVERSE.—A very touching case of misfortune
came to the notice of the public a few days since. The
captain of the ship Ocean Monarch, from Havre to this
port, noticed among his passengers a lady in middle life,
and her daughter, a young woman who seemed to have
known better circumstances, and gave evidence in their de-
portment of a quiet refinement of manner very different
from those with whom they were placed in such a com-
panionship. He bestowed many little attentions upon
them during the voyage, and tried to make them as com-
fortable as their situation would admit. What was his
astonishment, when a gentleman came on board to pay
their passage, to find that they were the widow and
daughter of Lavitte, the celebrated banker and Minister
of Finance ; also the daughter-in-law of Marshal Be-
trend ! Here were ladies who, but a short time ago, re-
ceived in their saloons the greatest men in Europe, and
even Royalty itself, enduring that worst of all miserable
situations—the steerage of a ship during a long voyage.—
