We have received by her our regular

no We copy the following review Of the
commercial appearance of the country from
Charles Winners Express, Liverpool,
Angus, 49, .+ -
dlt''Since our last publication there has
been slow but gradual improvement in
commercial affairs, which is generally
ascribed to the ine auiumnal weather with
which we have been favored, and which set
in most fortunate moment. For the past
ten days the weather has bee1tnost lavora-
3sie for the harvest, and in some of the
southern counties of England large quan,i-
lies of wheat have already been reaped,
which coupled with the prospect OF con
tlnuance offavorable weather, has produced
an place of feelings OF gloomy dependency,
general feeling of hope. OF course as
40 the general result Of the harvest, us yet
a very imperfect idea can be formed, yet
dhe feeling IS that the great crisis has pass
ed, and this is strongly illustrated by the
decline in the value both Of English and
bonded wheat. which took place in Mark
Lane OH Monday last, and which has been
ifollowedby nearly all the markets through
out the country.
Since our last publication there has been
a steady and improving demand for cotton.
and The accounts from the United States
received by the Caledonia have given an
additional stimulus 10 speculation, and
degree of frmntss to prices which was
previously wanting. The sales, average
now from 5000 to 5000 b1les per CAV, the
largest portion being taken by the trade

free or servile state Of the accused could
not be allowed to enter into the question of
the right to reclaim him for his alleged Of
fence. Mr.. Macaulay said the laws of the
Country where the offence was committed
become an important question. If n wo
man in England stabbed a man attempting
10 ravish her, she would not be guilty of
murder; but such an act would be murder
ifl committed in Georgia by quadroon
girl against her master.
!, If freemen kidnapped should seize the
vessel in which they were carried off, that
act would not be piracy; but it would be
committed by slaves. He would ask, too,
what was TO happen where the supposed
criminal, being a slave, should, when sent
back, be acquitted The Attorney General
was OF opinion that, il the offence took It's
character only from tho slavery Of the ac
cused, rs in the supposed cases of murder
aud piracy, he would not, under The pro-
posed enactment, be delivered up. In re-
ply TO Lord PaImerstcn Lord Stanley said
that the governors of English colonies had
orders 10 extend protection 10 slaves in
vessels driven to English ports by stress Of
weather. After some further discussion,
in which Mr.. Thomas Dunconbe question
cd the bona .fdcS of the American govern
ment in respect 10 the treaty, and Sir
Robert Peel said that he saw no reason for
suspicion, the house resolved itself into a
committee; and Mr.. Halves proposed an
alteration Of the bill 10 offenders being
heemen. This proposal was negatived,
by SO TO %, and the bill passed through
committee, as did similar bill founded on
n like convention with France.
Lori Brougham made q furious onslaught
upon President Tyler and his son in the
House Of Lords few evenings back, when
the affairs ofIreland we're being incidental
ly discussed "a person named Tyler,
said TO be son Of the President, has taken
part in the repeal agitation" exclaimed
the noble lord, who proceeded to say that
s.no one was answerable for the fooleres,
the excessive fooleries-or his family."-'
Lord Rrougham, while thus severe upon
the son, styled the sire the "accidental
President Of the United States;" but he
could not believe, unless he saw the docu-
mient with his own eyes, that functonary
had written the letter attributed to him in
favor of repeal. This eccentric peer is a
good hater-he never ATTACKS any one
without throwing heart and soul into the
conflict, and his assault upon the chief
magistrate Of the Union and his first born
ischaracteristic OF the man.
A meeting, convened by the Chamber
OF Commerce, is to be held ut birmingham
