DEAR Shin compliance with your re-

tween MIR. Stofer and yourself. do so with
reluctance, and had once determined to de-
cline, as the facts which must detail NAV
seem to bear more harshly than / would de-
sire on Mr.. Stofer, but as you think Justice
to you demands all that know should be
told, giveup my scruples. For greater dis
THICKNESS, speak of you in the third person.
About the last Of September, or first of
October last, Mr.. Baldwin called, on his way
from the Southwest, at the Journal Office, and
In the course of conversation mentioned to
him that the publication of the Lexington
Gazette had been for some time suspended.
He expressed extreme surprise, and as much
indignation at the intelligence, declaring it
was without his authority or knowledge, and
contrary toh his express instructions. He then
proceeded to state that he had written to Mr..
Stoter to send off the old type that was not
used, and to publish the paper with the rest
until his (Mr. BIS return, or until he got
new type, but by no means to suspend the
publication Of the paper.
worked in the Gazette office for about two
months and d half, from the last of April of
the present year, and know that there was at
least from 400 to 500 pounds of old type that
was neuer used in it.. Mr.. Stofer, indeed, and
myself estimated the quantity at from 600 to
700 pounds, and Mr.. S. repeatedly expressed
to me his belief that there was a sufficient
quantity to procure, by exchange, nearly e.
nough new type to supply the office, so far as
the publication of the paper went His plan
was to exchange this old, and never-used type
for new, and when he got the new, to pro-
coed with that, and send off the rest which he
had before been using, and exchange it also,
and thus get complete new set oftype, with
out lntenupting the publication of the paper.
About the Goth of last month (November)
received letter from Mr.. Stofer, REQUESTING
me to state ''that there was not more Mon
type enough fnMe o1ice 10 set up one side ofhe
poper ata time" As knew that this was
not true, wrote to Mr.. Stofer telling him so,
and stating that there was type enough TO
set up one side, besides about six columns of
advertisements. This was over and above the
400 or 500 pounds of old type spoken of a.
bove, and was enough to carry on the paper
Mr.. Stoter also requested me to procure for
him Mr.. George Boyd's certificate, s'to the
effect, that he never did read or have in his
possession, a letter to me (Stofer) from Mr..
Baldwin, IN which he (Mr. b. wished me

checked by very low prices of the latter, SO
as to render the production of Home grown

Arrival Of the Liverpool.

THlRTEEN DAYS LATER ERoM EUROPE.
The Steamship Liverpool brings Liverpool
dates to the 10th, London of the 18th, and
Havre of the 18th November.
The news is decidedly favorable. The
money market in England, and financial af-
I1irs in general are, at any rate no worse, and
fanny thing, rather better. The Bank of Eng
land had not suspended cash payments, and
is not Immediately likely to dose. The news
of the suspension of specie payments by the
Bank ofthe United States, produced of course
very great prejudice against ADMINISTRATION,
and its stock fell to ZIG los a share, but we
learn by letters that it rallied fall per cent
upon that rate.
Mr.. Jaudon had met all the bills drawn up
on him by the bank, and none Of them hare
been returned. A letter from that gentleman
60 the editor of the London Times, puts this
matter at entire rest.
Mr.. Jaudon's management in the delicate
and most difficult and embarrassing circum-
stances under which he has been placed, has
been admirable; and fully entities him to the
encomiums which have been passed upon it in
England.
The negotiation Of his Dutch loan does not
appear to have been completed before the un-
toward intelligence of the suspension of the
bank arrived. OF course it has fallen through,
but it does not seem to have been essential TO
the sustaining Of fair credit for the bank.
The cotton market, next in interest, is real
ly upon better foundation than we had a
right to expect. fit is not better than at the
last advices, It's certainly no worse. Indeed,
it may, on the whole, be considered a shade
better. The sales had been large, and bust
ness in the article brisk. We believe it is
fair to say, that the cotton market, at The sail
ing of the Liverpool, was better. The market
nor breadstuffs may be stated as better for
Englishmen, and less favorable tous than was
expected. Flour has fallen in price, and the
duty risen in proportion. There is no induce
ment to send brcadstuls to England.
General Bernard, formerly in the engineer
service ofthe United States, and more recent
ly French Minister of War, died at Paris on
the 9th of November. Mr.. Hagerman, the
eminent Paris banker had also died.

NEW JERSEY ELECTION.

With respect to the merits of the contested
election in New Jersey, we at this distance
can give no decided opinion. Whether or
not the Clerks in two of the Counties improp-
erly withheld returns, as charged by the Adj
ministration press, is point which can only
be determined by the House of Representa-
tivcs. The commission by the Governor. to
the Wing members, is prima facie evidence
In favor of those members-and the result of
the late election, which turned entirely upon
rhe conduct of the clerks, and which showed
"a majority ofthe people in favor of the Wings,
goes far to show that the clerks acted correct
ly, and in accordance with the wishes of ma
jority of the people Immediately interested.
On this subject, we subjoin some pertinent
remarks from the New York American:
Wig.
''The allegation of the Administration press
and partisans, is, that the Clerks of Middle
sex and Cumberland violated the rights of the
majority by unlawfuily refusing to return votes
given in their favor. Whatever be the mat
ter of fact about this alleged illegality-a
point which the House of Representatives a.
lone can determine-thism much is certain, that
at the election last October, both parties, in
those two counties of Middlesex and Cum
berland, distinctly took issue before the peo-
pie upon this point, AND THE PEOPLE SUSTAIN
ED, IN BOTH COUNTIES, THE CONDUCT OF THEIR
CLERKS. Such. result may fairly be claim
ed as proof that the majority of the people
III each of those counties do not believe there
Das illegality in the conduct of their clerks
and ltwould seem therefore, great presumption
that other parties elsewhere should undertake
tomake this Illegally, which is quoadho dis
proved, the ground of an outrage so enormous,
as that of nullifying-by the mere ipse dirit Of
the clerk of former House of Representatives
orof any number of members ola House not
legally organized-the commission of Sove-
reign State to its Representatives.
Remark, we do not say that this verdict of
the people-the 'ssober second Thoughts
conclusive in favor of the acts Of the clerks,
but we claim that it is entitled to at least as
much weight and respect, as the &c pa,tc
representations of these who impugn and de-
nounce the conduct of those clerks, and then
the case would be simplified into the not ufni-
common one ofan ordinary contested election,
where the members having the commission,
take and occupy their seats as a matter of
course, and of immemorial usage, until the
House shall, after due inquiry, decide either to
vacate or confirm them''

The house of Messrs. Rothschild has re-
celved remittance from the Continent of75,-
oooo soyereIgns, and more specie is expected
from the United States and South America.
these remittances will find their way to the
5ank OF England, and help in filling up the
drain; but we hear they have drawn to the
extent OF ~ 100000 on their credit account
with the Bank of Paris. The Continental
.nerchan1s are watching narrowly the opera
lions OF the Bank, and have suspended orders
ior British manufactures to large extent, in
the expectation that their contraction of the
circulation must force down prices.
