In England, the greatest manufacturing*and com- mercial distress continues to exist, but most well disposed parties seem inclined to trace this to the over creative power of machinery, than to any oth- ercause. There has been extreme depression of late, owing to all parties having withheld from busi- ness operations until the passing of the tariff bill en- abes them to see clearly what steps to take in their matters of regnlar business and speculation. The tariff being now settled, of course such causes are removed.

There does exist a doubt that the pistol was loaded with a destructive substance. He still asserts that he had not intended to injure her Ma- jesty, but did it with a view to get provided with a home for life similar to that of Oxford. He will be transported for life to a penal settlement. ‘The announcement of his reprieve had scarcely been made known when the public were alarmed by a report that another and exactly similar attempt had been make upon her Majesty’s life. The de- tails are almost too fareieal for notice. It appears rat as the royal cort returning on Sunday from the Chapel Royal, in St. James’s, to Bucking ham Palace, a deformed youth presented and snap- ped an old rusty pistol at the carriage in which her y ted. He was seized by another youth, who wrested the weapon from his hand, but the policeman in attendance refused to take him in charge, believinfi it to be a hoax, on whieh he was permitted to escape. He was tpprehended in the course of the day, whenit was discovered that h had recently and repeatedly been heard to say that he admired the conduct of Francis, and regretted that he had not succeeded in the attempt; that Francis was a brave fellow, and that he wished he had been iu Francis’s place, for he would do for the Queen; thet he had a prime air-gun and pistol, and he would use them in the same cause. ‘The pistol had an old flint, lock with serew and rifle barrel.— Upon detaching the barrel, which was done wit some difficulty, from the serew having become ex- ceedingly rusty, owing to its long disuse, there were found in it a portion of very coarse powder, a piec: of tobacco pipe, and some paper wadding. His motive is supposed to be thd same as that of Fran- was st cis.

Great Britain and Texas, The ratifications of the long-pending treaties be tween Great Britain and Texas were exchanged at two o’clock on Tuesday the 38th inst., by the Ear ot Aberdeen, plenipotentiary of Great Britain, anc the Hon. Ashbel Smith, plenipotentiary of the Re- public of Texas. These treaties are three in number:—a treaty o/ amity, navigajion, and commerce—a treaty under- taking mediation by Great Britain between the Re. publics of Mexico and Texa’—and a treaty granting reciprocal right of search for the suppres-ion of the Airican slave trade. They were negotiated in 1840, and concluded “i1 November of that year by Viscount Palmerston and Gene- ral James Hamilton. The powers. to, ratify the two first have been a considerable. time in En- gland, but their completion has been delayed unti ‘atifications of the treaty granting the right o earch could be simultaneously exchanged. ‘The Republic of Texas agrees that if, by imeans of the mediation of her Britannic Majesty,an unlimited trace shall be established between Mexi co and Texas within thirty days after this present convention shall have been communicated to thi Mexican government b« her Britannic Majesty's mission at Mexico, and if within six months from the day on which that communication shall have been so made, Mexico shall have concluded a treaty of peace with’Texas, then and in such case the Re- public of Texas will take upon itself a portion, amounting to one million pounds sterling, of the ea- pital of the foreign debt contracted by the Republic of Mexico before the Ist of February, 1835. Art. 2.—The manner in which the capital of one million pounds sterling of foreign debt, mentioned in the praceding article, shall be transferred from the republic of Mexico to the republic of ‘Texas, shall be settled hereafter by special agreement be tween the republic of Texas and the republic of Mexico, under the mediation of her Britannic Ma- esty.

Livewroot Corton Manker, Jnly 2.—To-day’s demand for Cotton has been moderate, and the sales amount to 3500 bags, including 600 American for export. Prices are without alteration, but there is great difficulty in effecting July 4.—The demand for Cotton to- has been far from being brisk, and yet there has been a numerous at- tendance of thetrade, who are evieently underthe neces- tity of purchasing for immediate consumption ; about 4000 bags nave been disposed of entirely to the trade, with the exception of 100 American and 200 Surat taken for export. The market is well supplied, and prices have no tendency to advance. Livenroot Cons Market, July 4.—Having very few buyers at our Corn Exchange toda and no impulse from other markets to enliven the trade, the transactions in wheat, being confined chiefly to serve the wants of our lo- cal millers, Were very moderate in amount; prime quali- i r, which are much less plentiful than other were held at prices little short of our last ‘lst the general runs of free foreign, whieh pply, were decidedly 2d cheaper. Tur Tea Trupe.—The China news has not had any particular effeet on the London tea market, though it serves to confirm the steadiness that has characterised it for some time past. The business done lately solely by rivate contract has been to a very fair extent, and the de- iveries last month were highly satisfactory. ‘The letters from China will not reach till next week. On the 30th ult, the stock of teain London wrs 32,167,785 Ibs. and at the corresponding date of last year 27,046, 221 Yb ‘The deliveries this year have been 17,515,837 Ibs, or an incren or those to the corresponding period in 1841, of nearly 600,000 Ibs, The imports have greatly increase’. The Operations of the French Government in Steam Navigation, The arrival of the French steamer of war, Gomer, in our harbor, looking at the results that will ema- nate therefrom, may be considered one of the most important movements that has taken place for many years, so far as the trade and commerce of this city is concerned; as it is also one of the most im- portant measures connected with maritime and commercial affairs, ever set on foot by the French government. Some few months since, it will be remembered, that we gave first intimation of this movement, to- gether with all its leading features and details. We have it from authentic sources, that ever since the establishment by Great Britain of their various lines of steamers to this continent, and its adjacent islands, the French government, jealous of the as- cendancy and advantages which such a movement gives to Great Britain in this part of the world, and watchful of the true interests of her own commer- cial and maritime interests, turned their earnest at- tention to a careful investigation of the whole sub- ject, and after a great deal of deliberation in the cabinet, this steam ship of war has been sent out by the French government as the pioneer in the great and valuable enterprise they intend to carry out. The several lines of British steamers to and from the southern parts of this continent and the West India islands, are in the greatest possible confusion ; and this result is utterly unavoida- ble, owing to the complicated nature of their arrangements made by the British government in relation to their lines of steam vessels of war. And the best way for France to act in this undertaking is to avoid the errors of their great ri val, establish a few lines of steamers direct from some principal port athome to some principal port here, and run them with regularity, certainty and all necessary dispatch. Thus they may avoid the confusion and great loss sustained by the British lines of steamers to this country; as the more com plicated the parts of a machine are, the more liable it isto work wrong, or get out of repair; and vier versa the more simple its construction,the more like- ly it is to work with regularity, ease and cer tainty. : Let the French Government, then, simplify their arrangements for navigating the Atlantic by war or other steamers. And asa matter of course, let then: make New York one of the principal ports of desti- nation for those vessels on this side the Atlantic.— We have in this city the greatest facilities for for tering and perfecting such an enterprise; and if any of the officers connected with this expedition want any information oa commercial affairs, we shall, ourselves, be very happy to furnish them with it, in asmuch as we have more valuable information, sta tistics, and details connected with this subject, a« well as every branch of commercial affairs, thar any other establishment in the country. Tur ApMINIstRATION or Justicr.—We are sti! daily hearing numerous and heavy complaints i: relation to the administration of justice in this city, which complaints we have good reason to know are but too well founded. How long this state of thing- is to continue, or whether we are ever to have i radical change therein, or otherwise, becomes a matter of great moment to every good citizen and lover of order, justice, and a perfectly pure admin- istration of the laws. We know that great efforts have been made in certain quarters of late to improve the morale of th idministration of justice in New York, and to giv: to ita proper degree of dignity, integrity and intelli- sence in all its departments. And so far, the efforts of those thus acting, are highly commendable and wraiseworthy. But all concerned must pull togethe: 1 this matter, or nothing permanent or beneficia! san be accomplished. It will not do for one branch of the administration of justice in this city to pul! one way and oneanother; for one to be taken u; with this or that speculation or folly, and another tc be intensely occupied with this or that business, bubble, palitieal mancwuvre or juggle. The effortsof an honest Grand Jury—may do much to improve the administration of justice. The well-regulated exertions of our Common Council may do more. And ifthere was nothing to check or counterbalance their exertions, we should have hopes of a thorough and wholesome reformation in this matter. But when we see judges of high courts —senselessly forgetting or ruthlessly regardless oj he respect due to the station they may occupy for he time being, and of a decent regard to public »pinion—coming down from their seat on the bench, sntering the dirty arenafof polities,and mixing them. selves up in the small business of peddling out penny newspapers, we certainly fbegin to despair of ever seeing any improvement in relation to this most im- vortant matter—the administration of justice in this Such a movement as this is certainly one of the strangest and most pitiable spectacles that can pos sibly be conceived. Here we have, for the last sia years, seen the most miserable and impotent crea- ures imaginable engaged in this same business— starting paper after payer—sometimes a dozen ina year—the average life of each not being three nonths—rising to-day and setting to-morrow, full of agipid, obscene, disgusting trash—eondneted by sreatures without mind, without talent, tact, intelli- rence or judgment of any kind, saving only to in- srease crime, ereate confusion in the community, ind setting alldecency, order, and law at utter de- fiance. All this is too notorious tobe questioned ; and too lisgraceful not to be deplored. And when, in addi- y, a high and responsible judge, forgetting all elf vespect, all the respect due to those laws he is sworn ind entrusted to administer—throwing off the er- nine—rushing into this polluted arena, rollin lis sleeves,as it were,and going to work with al rnsto of an old hp fighter, publishing the eame de- cription of garbage, the same nonsense—the same niserable twaddle—full of egotism, bad grammar nd worse morality—talking of his early fights—his lisgraceful broils—his ‘first duels” disgusting solitical squabbles, tricks and juggles—it makes us crieve fax the weakness of poor humanity—for the antastic tricks of old dotards in their second child- sood, and gives us but sorry, sorry hopes of any Rectual reformation in our administration of jus ice. This subject is so important to the morals and vell-being of the community, and we possess so iany facts throwing light on the subject, that we hall continue it at a future day, respectable, wealthy, and numerous class of our fe! low citizens, called Baptists, has arrived in thiscii from Stonington, where he has been doing a ver extensive business in the way of salvation, f which in due time he will doubtless reap his rewar” “ifhe faint not.” Last Sunday, from a beautiful green ban! which formed the edge pf a picturesque grave yarc which was itself on the edge of the ever soundin sea, Mr. Swan baptized over 30 souls and bodie: some of whom were over 50 years of age in hu manity, and 100 years old in iniquity. The seen was in itself truly sublime, and it was equally healthy and refreshing for the body as well as the soul. 1* was a pleasant, cool day, the sun was shining se renely, and wending kis majestic way through th heavens, smiling on, and cheering all beneath it influence; vast numbers had assembled to witnes this wholesale immersion of humanity, and as eacl: soul, or rather body, was dipped in the wave, and came out again, the whole multitude simultaneous ly burst forth in one loud choral hymn of praise to the Supreme, to Him who had washed them, anc made them white through the blood of the Lamb— all sung to one of those magnificent old church tune: that sounded sweetly upon the sea shore. On that day thirty had their sins and their panta loons washed, making in all about 150 that had bee: washed inside and outside during the stay of the Rev. Mr Swan, in the briny waves at Stonington harbor. This Mr. Swan belongs to that peculiar class of clerical orators that have sprung up of late years, and who are so clearly personified by Elder Knapp | and his school. At the same time, however, the Rev. Mr. Swan has more strength, more fire, more elegance, more coarseness, more wit, more drollery, more inches, more bone and muscle, and less fat, than Elder Knapp. Satan could bury Elder Knappin his own fat on the great gridiron, in five minutes; but this man he couldn’t touch, for his grissle is too hard. We hope sincerely that the Rev. Mr. Swan may do agreat deal of good here, and convert many souls ‘from the error of their ways to the wisdom of the just.” He is much wanted here in Wall street and other places.. For since the departure cf Elder Knapp, that old sinner, Satan, hasbeen in- creasing his energies, his exertions, and the number of his converts, to a most alarming extent,notwith- standing the eflorts of the Temperance Society; and we want some good muscular raw-bone specimen of | piety, like the Rev. Mr. Swan, to take hold of the | old scoundrel, shake him heartily over one of his | own fires, and then send him to some fashionable watering place to mend his manners. We therefore trust that the Rey. Mr. Swan may be announced ina day or two to preach at soine of our most fashionable and celebrated places of wor- | ship. His sermons will be full of flowers and fury, | beauty and brimstone, saltpetre and sound sense, nitric acid and nonsense. Mr. Swan, we are happy to say, shaves at Jin: Grant’s; and since this important event has taken place, it is a most singular fact in the march of ani- mal magnetism, that the mere circumstance of his shaving in that shop has had a most wonderful effict on Jim Grant himself; it has made him a more quiet, more finished, polished specimen of a shaver, and more pious and pleasant than ever he was, with out his ever knowing the reason why or caring wherefore. And as he has made this shaving sho; his head quarters, we advise all to call and patroniz the same place ; for Jim Grant excels as much i: shaving as Mr. Swan does in.preaching—he shave. | 80 quick, so smooth, so easy, and with so littte talk | ing or egotism, that even Satan himself mht b weil lathered and shaved here, and get his whisker. orhis tail cut to great advantage, and ina mucl more fashionable style than he could in any portio: ot his own dominions ‘ down below.” Rerern or Mr. Van Burex—His Prosrects.— We learn from Albany that Mr. Van Buren has re turned to Kinderhook, with a perfect convictio that he will receive the nomination of the demoer: tic party for the next Presidency. He and his friends believe that neither Genera! Cass, nor Mr. Calhoun, nor Mr. Buchanan, whate ver may be done at Washington or Paris, can hav the slightest chance against Van Buren. 1: Tennessee it was arranged to run Mr. Polk as Vic: with Van, and Mr. P. wasin this city a few week ago, to complete the arrangements. The democra tic leaders here laugh at the idea of taking up “Ca; tain Tyler,” and we must confess, after what ha been seen, there is little chance of such an event. The recent result of the elections in Louisiana. has given great force and strength to these views.— That was considered a pioneer election for the fall. and the sweeping*majority gained by the locofoco: has given them great spirits. The revolution ir that State may be justly attributed to the folly an: absurdity of the whigs in Washington, who canno! keep power, or manage public affairs. The next Presidential race will, therefore, be probably nar rowed down to Clay and Van Buren. The first ix a capital fellow, but represents some bad principle: and measures—the latter is a very small pattern of a man, but represents some good measures. In such adilemma, we think it as wise to forget both, and smoke a good cigar. Dr. Mert anv Dr. Hovsroy.—The following card containing Dr. Houston’s reproof of the assaults made upon him by Dr. Mott and his colleagues. has appeared in several of the city papers:— To Tue Mepicat. Pustic. The daty of repelling unjustifiable assaults on my professional character, is one from which J would fain shrink. But as there have recently been exhi- bited evidences of a concerted movement on the part of the Faculty of the Stuyvesant Institute School in this city, to crush the humble writer of this notice, I am led to appear thus prominently be- fore my brethren. Among the accusations preferred against me by the body to whom I have just refer- red, isthe charge that I have not been regularly ed ucated as a medical man, and that I am an impos. ter. Inorder to refute this charge, I submit the fol lowing :— “Thereby state that I have inspected the credent James Alexander Houston, and certify that he gularly studied medicine and surgery atthe University o/ Glasgow.

Itake the liberty to add that I have lodged my credentialsin the hands of the Censors of the State Medical Society, and await their examination.— Dr. Bulkley’s certificate merely shows that the statements of the Stuyvesant Faculty are incor- rect, and in due time I hope to be recognised asa legal practitioner of the State Medical Society. James A. Houston. 7 Tenth st., July 19, 1842. A Sicx.—The ultra whigs have been defeated in arecent Congressional election in Massachusetts, Goodrich, ultra whig, had 1881 ; Jackson, abolition whig, 673; Wilkerson, locofoco, 1553. The ultra whigs are very savage against the abolitionists, but this will only tend to widen the breach—to give power to the abolition party—and to make the ultre tion to all this, and in pretty much the same catego- | whigsadopt their creed in the end, Curions results may be expected. Important Negociation.—We hear it rumorec up ae . . fine that a negociation is about opening between th: Nassau street College of Pharmacy and the eminen Dr. Mott of the Stuyvesant Institute, for his service as a consulting physician. Tt will be recollected that this Nassau street e¢ tablishment was recently organized to put dow: qwackery and ignorance, and to prepare useful me dicines for the sick of the land. If this negociatior should terminate favorably- negociation as in) portant as Lord Ashburton’s—it will be anothe highly important step in the revolation going on iv the healing art. If you want to make aman use. tul, don’t hang him, A Nest or Coustearertens Baoxen vr.—During Wei neaday our city was flooded with counterfeit notes of th denomination of $5, purporting to be of the Tolland County Bank of Connecticut.

This wa lisher forthe otticers, and during the night the houseo ‘Julia MeKewan, No. 63 Ridge street, known as the hea quarters of the Shephard family, was entered by officer P.B, Walker, Frame, Joseph, and Sweet, who secure: Henora Shepherd, whose husband is now in the State | Prison at Trenton, for altering 5's to 50’s, Peter O'Brien | | the brother ofthe first named person, and Julia McKewan, | tke housekeeper. The house was then searched, and | every variety of dry goods and groceries in small parcels | were found on the premises, which had been purchased | while changing the counterfeit notes already passed off. | Among other articles were 236 knives, of all descriptions, 16 combs with high backs, 12 spools of three cord thread, | with Farquason’s mark upon them, &c. Persons, there- | fore, who have been imposed upon by these knaves, will | materially aid the police in procuriag conviction, by call: | | ingat the Tombs and identifying the goods sold in ex- | change for the spurious notes, and also the persons who passed them. A quantity of $5 counterfeit notes of the ‘Tolland County Bank, $3’s of the Greenwich, and $3°s of the Grafton were found on the premises when they were arrested. This woman, Beamer, or Kit Moore, is the wife of Oakley Beamer, now in the State Prison, and is one of the'most expert in her business. She has been arrested several times on similar charges, but always managed to escape that justice due her long eontinued course of crime. It is, therefore, to be hoped that she may receive her de- . | serts when she comes up for trial. During the time that the above named officers were co- ing,up their business, officers Bowyer and Stevens (the latter of whom by the by, should be attached to the lower police office by the Mayor,) secured Mary Waterman, a notorious passer of bad money, who had shoved one of the counterfeit fives of the Tolland county Bank upon John 8. Adams, 68 Church street, in payment for some groce- ries, and obtained the change. They then entered the premises where she has resided, in Greenwich street, cor- ner of Chambers, up stairs, and found Ben. Waterman, her husband,‘and Charles Adams, both known as “always ready” in the business. The three gangs were then lock- ed up, and if those who have been cheated will only eome forward and identify the rogues, the whole batch may be sent where they will dothe State some service, and rid our city of their presence. The counterfeitson the Tolland county Bank of Con- necticut, are al! ofthe denomination of $5, and are so well execute: as to deceive the best judges, AM wehave seen areof jeter D.and tho ouly prominent distinction be- dween them ana the ge otvs is in the guality of the paper.

Apply to Robert Griffith & Co. No. 106 West street, and 55 Pearl. He went to Mr. Griflith’s forthwith, immediately struck a bargain, and emptied the contents of his own pockets into that of his new employer. He was short of the something like $160, ond went to Trot- ter (who was the late Mayorof Brooklyn, and a friend of Mr. C.’s father,) and him to lend his check for $142, which he gave to Griffith, the bargain being “‘ dirt cheap? atthat.

The check had been passed over to tp who was connected with the “ forwarding estab- ishment.” Cornell testified that after they had got every cent of money away from him, they told him that it was no use to go to the office, as there was no business to do, &c.
