The FALL TRADE.-The panic, as it is facetieus-
ly called, has been declining since the arrival of
merchants, who crowding the numerous ho-
tells of the city daily. and in general in pursuit
of their fall assortments of goods. The large
sales of domestic goods, on Wednesday, by
Messrs. Wilmerdings, Priest & Mount; and of
French goods by Messrs. Austens IL Spcer, of
nearly seven hundred lots OF goods, both of
which went oil with great spirit, to the large
companies attending the sales, is proof that
it will be impossible to keep up the cry Of
ruin, which has been INDUCED in by the tariff
press for months past The enterprise, intelli-
gence and liberalityofthese houses are well known,
and no combination or croaking can influence
them, or the mercantile community of this city
be affected by such futile means Of depressing its
commercial spirit, when the great resources of
our country are kept in view, with the increased
facility which the financial measures of the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury will give to the exchanges,
north, south and west
In a very short time the money market will,
without doubt, be very easy everywhere; and the
fall trade, although perhaps not quite so early as
usual, will be quite as large and prosperous in
past years

To THE EDITOR OF THE New York HERALD = :
SIR,-I notice in your paper of this morning
Gosh AugusD, in the items headed "Police In
tell,gence," a report connected with my arrest,
on a charge of an aggravated assault upon the
person OF Mr.. Major. 1 forbear to comment
upon the report in your paper, as also to take ac-
ton against you for its publication, but trust that
nasmuch as you made one statement, you will
give a place in ySnr columns 10 another.
About fortnight since, Mr.. Major, some others,
and myself, hired a conveyance, and together
were driven out of town, and returned at late
hour in the evening TO a place of entertainment
on the corner of 23d street and Broadway, and,
whilst there, some dispute arose between Mr..
Major and myself respecting cab, during which
that person called me "damed scoundrer' and
a liars" and upon my asking him if 1t were his
intention to insult me, he replied YES" and re-
iterated his gross abuse-indignant at which upon
the impulse of the moment, and without redec-
tion hurled at him the tumbler and its contents,
out of which had been drinking, and inflicted a
severe injury.
These are the simple facts of the case. Com
ment is unnecessary; and although have no de-
sire to drag myself into public notorety, still, as
have perforce been dragged there, feel it but due
to myself, at the earliest moment, to state the
whole case, and thereby rescue myself from the
odum which would necessarily attach to my
name, after a perusal OF the item in your Po-
lice Intelligence" Yours, &c.,

lowing order OF time

In Pennsylvania, no doubt, there will be
strongly contested struggle The wings will rely
principally on the unpopularity of the new tariff,
and that will be made the main issue. But the
democrats OF Pennsylvania may urge, that they,
too, opposed the tariff, and that they are just
as strong protectionists as the wings; and moro
over, they may state with perfect confidence, that
the duties coal and lion will be so modified at
the next session ofCongress, las to leavePennsylva-
MIA nothing to complain of. This modification is
already determined upon, it having received the
assent of the Southern members. 1t would have
been proposed and carredou at the last session of
Congress, but that the passage of the bill occur
red at such late day of the session that any mo-
difcanon would have defeated the entire mea-
sure. All the prominent Pennsylvania democrats
made vigorous efforts, until they procured the pro-
mise of the South to assent to the proposed modi-
fcation. Mr.. Buchanan exerted himself person
ally, and with success in behalf of Pennsylvania
interests, and the result will be an amendment of
the tariff law, fostering the coal and iron interests
We have reason to believe that this modification
will be in the form of compromise beginning
at an ad valorem duty of 80 per cent, and de-
scending gradually, say IS or even 80 per cent.
The rate of the new tariff law could be reached
Al io"i years ny hlloWliiS OH u per cent year.
This declenson would be gradual and the nju-
rious effects to be apprehended, from the sudden
transition from heavy to light duties, would be
avoided But there is no doubt, Notwithstanding
the intended modification, that the tariff will be
made party question in Pennsylvania
An issue will be made up too, ON the whole
course of the administration, and we have reason
to believe that there will be a regular canvass
against 1t throughout the country, and that tie
wings will arraign the democratic party for their
course, and the course of the administration, in
regard to the various matters which have occu-
pied the attention of the late session OF Congress-
Wemay, therefore, expect to see some stirring
Dimes in the political world, from this time until
December next.

different nominees for the Office of Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, and members to Congress
