FIVE DAYS LATER
FROM ENGLAND.
ARRIVAL OF THE
PACKET SHIP INDEPENDENCE,

BY the packet ship Independence, Capt Nye,
which arrived yesterday afternoon, we have
ceived five days later.
The papers do not contain very important news
but the most exciting subject seems to be violent
discussion going on about the Ashburton Treaty
Nearly all the papers come out and denounce il
the Ashburton captulation and the London Times
is the principal one that supports him.
There seems to be very little change in the mar
kets, but they rather seem to be looking up.
| The Queen was in fine health and spirits, and g-
wing grand parties at Windsor Castle.
| The failure of the West India steamers excites
great attention ameng the mercantile classes. The
grant of E2OOOO is to be continued, and the service
| Of 634 900 miles per year is reduced one half.
| Lord Ashburton is to be made an Earl as soon as
possible; and the London papers say his title ought
to be "ESrl Surrender"
The Paris papers continue to discuss the Ashbur-
treaty, land are violent against the United States
| and England also.
Some of the London papers are paying great at
ention to the internal policy OF the State of New
York. They seem to think it is in many respects as
important the policy Of many independent States,
| and in a commercial point of view, a great deal
| more so. They republish the last Governors mes
| sage.
| Four hundred and four spinners have turned out
The following is from the London Morning
Chronicle
| STEP IN THE PEERAaE.-We understand that to
| mark their sense of Lord Ashburon's services in
having betrayed and sacrificed the interests OF his
| country by ais treaty at Washington, and having
insuIted, by his speech at Boston, the Crown by
| which he was employed, her Majestys Ministers in
l tend Immediately upon the noble negotiators re-
turn, to recommend that he be made an Earl.

| supporters an American tox rampant on one side,

emblazonng will, OF course, be chiefly in gulls.
There have been two or three more failures in
Manchester within the last few days. and one of
them, OF some importance, that OF Mr.. Morris ia

Her Majesty and Prince Albert, with their illus
trious family, intend to honor Brighton with visit
about the end of October and TO remain at the Roy
al Pavilion about month or SIX weeks.
Lord Hill is improving in he ath, and it is thought
the retirement of his lordship at Hardwicke Grange
will prove highly beneficial to the noble lords gene
/ raj health.
MARQUIS OF WELLEsLEY.-We regret to learn
| that this distinguished nobleman is suffering from
| severe indisposltiOn at kingston-hOuse.
| Five men have been committed to Kirkdale Jail,
from the Liverpool workhouse, for refusing TO eat
the poridge furnished them for breakfast, plea
| that il is not thick enough.
| Mehemit Ali has presented to his Majesty Louis
| Philippe,a male giraffe The Chameleon steamer is
about to proceed to Alexandria to receive this curl
GUS present.
| TIE AsHBURToN CONFERENCE.-The Morning
Chronicle says, as the Times is the only journal that
attempts to set up any defence tor the Ashburton
surrender II may be useful to direct attention the
| course which that journal has adopted upon the
boundary question when the wings were in office.
We would earnestly ask those who may be disposed
to adopt the Times as guide upon this subject, TO
/ its wit former We
do sincerely say that ask this net in any spirit of
newspaper recrimnation, but because we think it
really important that the public should be able to
estimate, at their just value, the opinions OF Lord
AshburtOns advocate.
| GRxAr FIRE in LIVERPOOL There was a great
fire at Liverpool the 2Sd ult. All the buildings
on Great Howard street, from Compton to Neptune
streets, on Compton, from Waterloo Road TO Great
| Howard street; on Neptune, from the same to the
same and both sides OF Formby street. from
same 10 same, and along Waterloo Road, embracing
amounted to S27O,OOO: Twenty bodies were buried
beneath the ruins. Forty-eght thousand bales of
cotton were burnt, valued at f3S4,O
| STXrz OF TIKI MANUFACTURING DIsrRIcrs.-The
turn out may now be considered as entirely at an
end-the resumption OF labor at Ashton under-Lyne,
Stacybridge, Hyde, and Stockport being complete;
| and the wcavers in Manchester, who have shown
great obstinacy in their adherence to the strike,
| having on Tuesday returned to their work. in such
numbers as showed that the general combination
| amongst them entirely broken up. Some few
establishments, both in the town and in the coun-
try districts, are still at a stand but we believe
that, in all such cases, the absence of the workmen
from their employment arises from accidental
causes unconneced either with the original ground
OF the turnout, or the demands which subsequently,
| sprung out oil it, There is, however, new turn
out at Bolton, which ought not to be COMPOUNDED
| with the movement which has just subsidized The
Bolton spnners after having been partially turned
out by a body OF strangers, resumed their work
but, thinking that they entitled to an advance
OF wages gave regular notice to their employers that
such advance was required and the demand not
being complied with, the greater part of them left
| their work last Friday night.
| TxE WEATHER AND THE CRoPs.-The weather has
been fine throughout the week, and rapid progress
has been made with harvest work in the more
| backward districts. Indeed, so anxious have
farmers become to get in thk remainder of
their crops, that in some Instances scarcely
| sufficient time has been allowed for THE mois-
ture which was impaired to the sheaves by the
rains OF the preceding week to evaporate, and we
fear that some of the grain lately carted has been
carried in too damp and hurried manner. With
this slight drawback, the operations OF harvest have
proceeded tavorably, and believe that very little
corn now remains abroad il. arr par. ci Easlsnd
The rise which prices of wheat have lately under
gone, has tempted the growers to thrash rather
more freely; still the deliveries have been far more
, moe.-!, and further rise has taken place in the
vaiu~ - the article al mos, & he leading provincial
markets. The continued Improvement has, ho~e,-
er, had the effect Of checking the demand, and pur
chasers have exhibited greater degree of caution
in their operations. The recent rise in prices has
been nearly rapid the depression which prcce
ded it these sudden fluctuations usually work their
own cure. When the panic was ut its height, we
predicted that reaction would occur, and we are
disposed to think that the latter has reached its
maximum point. Without feeling at all disposed to
alter the opinion have at various tunes given with
regard to the yield OF wheat we do not anticipate
any further enhancement in its value and should not
feel surprised ii, for some weeks to come, business
remained in quiet state; AT mos of the markets
held in the early part OF the week, before the wea-
Their had again assumed a settled appearance the |
reported rise OF 3s per quarter at Mark Lane was

PRESENTS TO THE QUEEN FROM THE QUEEN OF |
SPAIN.-Four beautiful Spanish entire horses arrived |
at Windsor on Wednesday morning, as presents |

horses reached this country shorty after her Ma.
