Germany, The letters from Stuttgardt announce the attend- ance of the diplomatic representatives of England, France, and America, with the other subordin ve ambassadors of neighboring states, who are all id- ed toas watching, with great vigilance, the consi- deration of the subject of duties in the Diet. The presence of the Eaglish ambassador is stated to be particularly directed to the question of manufactures while the American minister promises matual ad- vantages, should the duty on tobacco and rice be lowered ‘The French ambassador has made no proposition respecting a treaty of commerce, and it was supposed he had received orders to wait the r:- sul’ of the elections. sr trom Frankfort-on-the Odor, dated the utes that the fair of St. Maguint, which A let oneluded, was well supplied with goo. usively trom the States forming German Union, which met with a ready sale, but at rather reduced prices.

Mr. Crawford, the newly appointed British consul, had arrived. Mr. Aston, the British minister, was about to leave Madrid for La Granja. Espartero and M. Argulies appear determined to get rid of the presence of Don Francisco de Pavla and his family, and that prince is forthwith to set out for St. Sebastian The Regent is desirous of taking advantage of the death of the Duke of Orleans to procure the return of the diplomatic intercourse which, until M. Sal- vandy’s unfortunate mission, subsisted between the courts of Paris and Madrid. For this purpose | has made all the advance possible, but it does » appear likely that the court of France will easi cede to the desires of Espartero. It is said that a formal request to exchange ambassadors has be -n refused at Paris, and it is certain that no Spanich ambassador is at present in the French capital M. Marliani, in consequence of some observations made by M. Gonzales during the debate on the commercial treaty with England, sent a hostile m sage, which was accepted by M. Gonzales, who ap- pointed General Seoane to be his second. It was r- ranged to the satisfaction of both parties by the good offices of General Seoane. The discussion on the proposed treaty of cem- merce between Great Britain and Spain had given rise to an angry correspondence between Mr. Aston, the British envoy, and the late President of the Council, M Gonzales. The heat was intense at Madrid—84 degrees of Reaumur The Heraldo states that some difficulties had arisen between the courts of Spain and Portugal, in consequence of the arrest of M. Saenez, a senator of the province of Orense. A note couched in strong terms on the subject had been presented to Count Almadovar by the Portuguese minister. This is the cause assigned for the movement of Spanish troops towards the Portnguese frontier. The Barcelona journals of the 17th ult. announce the arrival of General Zurbano on the 13th at Giro- na.

The Viceroy had sufiered a serious loss by the death of Selim me of ‘he most distinguished officers inthe Egyptian arniy, and general-in-chief of the artillery, who died ot a coup de soliel, in the 33d year of his age. The plague continued to rage at Alexandria. Athens letters of the 10th state that the Greek ministers, finding the treasury nearly empty, were about to apply to the French government for a new loan. They hed: moreover, adopted extreme mea sures of severity against such persons as were in ar- rear of their government taxes. It was said that in Messina alone 3,000 individuals had been arrest-d. The ministry, who were entirely devoted to French interests, were becoming every day more unpepular. According to the Augsburg Gazette of the 15th, the Porte has sent 5,000 men to garrison Adrianople,«nd is considerably ecding to the fortifications of Salo- nica. It adds, “ are these measures connected with any thing relative to the negociations now pending between Greece and Turkey? The Grand \i- zier is not to be trusted.” The Augsburg Gazette states, from Constanti- nople, June 29, that the British Ambassador had had a conference with the Reis Effendi on the af- fairs of Greece and Syria.

The Porte has dressed a circular letter to the diplomatic corps, 1 mating that in future no journal,eitherinthe Frerch or Greek languages,shall be allowed to appear with- out a special license, even though such journ ls should be under the protection of a sovereign power. We learn, by the Augsburg Gazette of the 1€:h, that the Ottoman Commissary at Bucharest, w'o had insisted on opening the the hatti-scheriff in the General Assembly of the States, had at last con :e- ded to remi: the document into the hands of Price Ghika, with the usual ceremonies. Shekib Effendi had afterwards a conference with Colonel Duhamel, from which he returned in high displeasure. He has sentto Constantinople for new instructions. Private letters from Constantinople of the 18th ult. announce that the Schah of Persia is making pre;a- rat ons for a war against Turkey, and that a Persian army is to march against England, and another against Erzerum. Troops had already marched from Teheran to Amedanon their way to Bagdad. It appears that the cause of quarrel is a disputed boundary line, and that the Schah had forwarded an ulumatumfjto the Porte, signifying his imention to take possession of the territory in dispute, if it were not ceded to him by tbe 5th of October. In the meantime the Turkish Pasha of Erzerum (the con- tiguous frontier) was preparing for defence. A body of 300 regular troops were collected, and the militia were being armed.

Livenroot. ManketTs, Avcust 3.—The promising pros- pects for the harvests, already commenced, together with the very heavy arrivalsin the kingdom of wheat, from the Continent, has caused quite a panic in the Cora Market, and prices have undergone a decline of fully 2s to 6d per 70 1s., during the last four weeks, and at this reduct- tion now remains almost nominal. ‘The decline in Flour during the same period being 4s to 5s per bbl, on free, and 2sto 28 6d per brl.on bonted and to effect sales to any extent a further reduction would have to be submitted to. ‘The duties, in consequence, remain at 86 per quarter. on Wheat, and 4s 9}d per brion Flour, and are not now likely to go lower yet awhile. Canada Flour brings 29% to 30s per bri, duty paid. The transactions in Tobacco have been extremely limit- ed, the trade being unwilling to operate until the details of the new Tobacco ‘Rognfations Bill, at present under discussion in Parliament, are better known.

The market for Turpentine has been unsteady, and holders have not been eble to support prices in the face of the heavy stock on hand. Upon Rheraduced duty coming into operation the price fell in proportion, and good quali- ty brought 7s 4d to7s 6d per cwt: latterly, however, 78 to 7s 4d is the highest that has been obtained for old, and and 7s 10d for fine new, which was realizing 85 per cwt. the week previous. ‘The import into the kingdom is about 10,000 barrels less than at the corresponding period last year, but the stoppage of the distilleries, awaiting the reduction in the duty on the raw mater aused such accumulation of stock that and tends to keep the market du! can Tar have been sold at 10s 6d per bbl. Quercitron Bark may be quoted 6s up to 7s per cwt., which is a slight improvement, as there is a reduction in the duty under the New ‘Tariff, from Sd to 3d per cwt. Ashes continue very difficult of sale, and buyers have obtained an advantage in almost each succeding sale, until 268 6d to 26s per cwt. is the highest quotation that we can give for Canada Pots, and 26 61 to 97s for Pearls, with atendency further to decline; 900 bbls. of New ‘York Pot Ashes were taken in bond at 26s 6d to Nothing of moment has been done as yet the recent import of American Salted’ Pro prices offered by the ‘Trade being much below price of Lard is declining ; at a public sale to-da; per cwt in bond being the highest bid, the parcel was taken as the season advances it will come more in favor with the Chandlers.

Hitherto, however, very little new grain has made its appearance st any of the country markets, farmers hay- ing been too busy in the fields to afford much time for thrashing. The accounts we receive from those districts where the reaping of wheat has been pretty generally commenced, bear out our previous opinion as regards the probable result of the harvest—viz., that, notwithstand- ing the extraordinary fine weather experienced for many weeks past, and the immense benefit accruing therefrom, the original cause—a deficiency of plant universally com- plained of carly in the year—will prevent the yield be- ing lurge ; and we have no hesitation in repeating a re mark made a fortniy that we still doubted whe- ther, under the me icious circumstances, the pro- duce of wheat, taking the entire kingdom, would amount to an usual average.—Mark lane Express. r Trape.—Mancuester, Tuesday.—Business is improving at Manchester. The market, on Tuesday, exhibited every appearance of steady and ‘continued im: provement. Yarn, of all descriptions, and more especially of the numbers and qualities suitable for Russia and the East Indies was in good demand; and for the sorts most in re- quest an advance of } to Jd was pretty generally obtained. ‘There was also a very fair inquiry for goods of all de- scriptions; and an advance of about [}d per piece was ob- tained on’ printing cloths. On the whole, perhaps, the improvement, both in demand and prices, was more striking than on either of the two preceding Tuesday's markets; and it was attended by a decided increase of firm- ee and confidence amongst the spinners and manufac- urers. Rocupate, Monday.—We have had another dull mar- ketto-day, somewhat similar to those of the three pre- vious weeks. ‘The demand for flannels has been very lim- ited; and the buyers, who have gttended the market, have purchased very sparingly, atxtremely low prices. The wool market has been very heavy, and the manu- facturers seem to purchase for immediate use only.— Though there is no change in the price of wool, yet the dealers are very eager to sell at the old priees. Lrxps, Saturday.—After the most severe and prolonged distress which this country has known in modern times, it gives us heartfelt satisfaction to see a few rays of light break in upon the gloom. The exhaustion of the resour- ces of all classes will make any revival of trade both slow and precarious; and we see noreasonable ground for ex- peeting durable prosperity, until our manufacturers are Pst upon an equal footing as to the chief necessaries of fe with their foreign rivals, whose goods are now com- peting with tbem in the principal markets of the world.— But it iscertain that the fearfu. mation of the last three or four months has been in some degree owing to the sus- pense about the tariff, and to the consequent looking-up of some considerable classes of foreign commodities in bond till the reduced duties came into operation. That event having taken place, seles of goods are resumed, and the seaports begin to display greater activity. The very favourable weather also not oily cheers the spirits, but aifords substantial ground for hoping that food may be- come cheaper and mere abundent, in which case manufac- tures and trade cannot fail to receive a stimulus. Havae, July 31.—Cottoe—Immodtiately after our circular had gone to press, there was a good attendance of dealers from the interior, and during the first two days ot this week the demand was very animated, upwards of 4,000 bales having changed hands, as well for consumption as though but a trifling portion was taken for (he Since then, however, much less activity yed. and the market has become quite lan- ; ly transactions not having exceeded 700 bales, with’ a slight decline in some instances on ordinary inferior United States descriptions, which are those most in request ; but upon the whole, the variation has not been sufficiently apparent to establish any real change in pri- ces, #0 hat we make no alteration at present in our quota: tions. The state of the weather continues most favorable, and the accounts from all parts as to the prospects for the approaching harvest, in every respect encouraging, which, coupied with the generally improved tone of the intelligence from our manufacturing districts, and the rather less gloom y character of the news from the other side of the channel, where it isto be hoped the distress has reached its acme, induce the belief that an amendment in business will at no very remote period begin to mani- feat itself.

The Foreign News. Again, for more than the hundredth time, within the last five years, we had the satisfaction, yesterday morning, of beating all our cotemporaries in regard to the highly important foreign news, received first by the packet ship Mediator, direct to this port, and secondly by the Britannia, at Boston. We received the news by the former, through the activity of our newsboat squadron, in time to publish it in the whole of our daily edition. The news by the Britannia reached us by special express about half past three o’clock yesterday morning and therefore appeared in only a part of our edition, on accountof our immense circulation compelling us to go to press soon after midnight. Nevertheless, we issued many thousands extra containing the pith of the news by the Britannia. ‘The news is highly important in many respects. We find, from all the statements m the various pa- pers that trade is reviving all over England; and that notwithstanding the various drawbacks the manufacturers have to contend with, that the mills are beginning to move with astonishing velocity. The quantity of cotton sold in Liverpool, for the days preceding the departure of the Britannia is one proof of this; and the quantity of manufactured goods and of yarns bought in Manchester, and other places, during the same period appears to be an additional proof. The news from France is highly interesting ; and gives promise of a quiet and satisfactory settlement of the Regency Question in the person of the Duke de Nemours. Of the matters that transpired in British Parlia- ment, the debate in relation to Texas will be re- garded with great interest. The China and India news is also of great impor- tance ; and we should not be surprised if, by this time, all the difficulties in those quarters are satisfac- torily adjusted. Take it all in all, the news is the mostwatisfactory that has reached us for many months; and if, as we expect, the ratification of the treaty with Great Britain reaches us to-day or to-morrow, there will be every prospect of a return to peace, plenty and prosperity. Truly, Providence watches over hischildren, and deals out to them mercy and goodness, even when they least deserve it. [Correspondence of the Herald.) fh " Lonpon, Aug. 3, 1842. Parliament is getting rapidly through the business of the session, prior to the recess. e royal assent has been Aven within the last few days to a vast number of bills, public and private. There have not been many bearing upon Colonial matters. The cis jowever, are the New South Wales and Van Dieman’s Land bill, the South Australia bill, the suppression of the slave trade bill, and the Fish- eries, British Islands bill, the customs act amend ment bill. ‘The Colonial Lepieed bill was also read a third time and passed on the 26th ult. The Newfoundland Government bill was introduced on the 23d July, but postponed to the 30th, when a long discussion ensued upon the metion of Mr. O’Con- nell to postpone the bill for three months, to enable communication to be had with the parties. I refer you to the debate, which you will find fully reported in the Times, particularly to the able speech of the Secretary to the Colonies. The bribery at elec- tions bill 18 proceeding slowly throzgh the house in consequence of the opposition made to many of the stringent clauses. The committee appointed to inquire into the compromise at elections to ayoid the pains and penalties of bribery, have issued their report, which contains some astounding facts tend- ing to prove the lavish expenditure of money for bribery at the last election by both parties. “Mr. Roebuck, the chairman of this committee, brought forward on the 28th ult. some resolutions calling for legislative proceedings to punish the offenders, and moving that the writs of the guiity boroughs be sus- pended until legislative proceedings to protect the purity of electionshad taken place. The resolutions were ,however,all negatived, and the long suspended writs have since been granted. Goodwood Races, which is one of our most cele- brated sporting meetings, were held last week, and went off with their usual eclat. The value of the stakes ran for amounted to about £16,000. The Drawing-room stakes were won by the Duke of Bedford’s Envoy ; the Goodwood Cup by Mr. John stone's Charles SIL. ; i ‘The operation of the Income Tax, as its provisions come into force, is becoming more and more ob- noxious. It is not at all improbable that the Weet India Mail Steam Company will be given up, as the directors and shareholders are unable to continue it longer at the serious loss they are incurring. The Company have, it is said, solicited Government to be allowed to run only one packet per month for the same sum as they now receive, or else to have an additional sum of £160,000 per annum, making, in all, ),000 for running two vessels per month. It is not likely that she Government will agree to either of these propositions, and the most reasonable conjecture is, that they will make use of the Halifax line, and from thence lay on branch steamers for the collection and distribution of the inter-colonial mails. The North American line has been most speedy and punctual, while the West India line has been tried and found wan4ng. Appointments, &c.—The Vice-President of thie Board of Trade has appointed Mr, Stafford North- esk, of Balliol College, Oxford, his Private Secre- tary. Gn Thursday last, the Rey. Archibald C. Tait, Fellew and Tutor of Balliol Rew Oxford, was appointed head master of Rugby School, in the place of the late Dr. Arnold. The appointment is under- stood to be worth £4000 per annum. There were twelve candidates from Oxford and seven from Cambridge. 2 : ‘There is a vacancy in the lucrative office of High Bailiff of Southwark, the emoluments of which ex- ceed £2000 per annum, by the death of J. Holmes, Esq. Among the candidates for the office are Al- derman Brown, Alderman Sir W. Heygate, Mr. Dan. W. Harvey, Mr. Pritchard, Mr. Payne, coroner, and four or five others. ‘ Itis rumored that Archdeacon Pakenham is to be the Bishop of Meath. He is brother-in-law to the Duke of Wellington. 4 Mr. Sergeant Adams has been re-elected Chair- man of the Middlesex Magistrates for the ensuing ear. New writs have been issued for Nottingham, Southampton, and Belfast. Mr. Sturge, the Quaker, opposes Mr. Walter at Nottingham. At Southamp- ton, the Conservative candidates are Mr. Hope and Mr. Mildmay. The Liberals bring forward Mr. George Thompson and Hon. Mr. St. John, son of Lord Bolingbroke. x x A petition has been presented from. the inhabi- tants of Sudbury, praying to be heard in the Lords against the Dicffanchisement Bill. Mr. Roebuck has obtained leave to plead as counsel for the bill+ The Queen has been pleased to approve of Mr. Joshua Gonsed, as Consul at Hull for U. S. of America, and Mr. Wilham Wetter, as American Consul at Cowes. . 3 Tue Court anp Fasion.—The Princess Sophia continues to labor under the affliction of almost the blindness, at her apartments at Kensington Pa- ace, ir Charles Metcalf, the Ex-Governor of Jamaica, last week underwent the operation of having a tu- mor removed from his cheek, from which he had suffered for many, years past. Sir B. Brodie, Dr. Chambers, and Mr. Martin, attended, when the tumor was skilfully removed ‘by Sir Benjamin. Sir Charles is going on quite favorably. The Queen Dowager intends "ie shortly on a tour of visits of several weeks to the nobility in the Provinces, f The Court goes out of mourning to-morrow, for the Duke of Orleans. The Queen and Prince Al- bert intend, however, to wear mourning for a full month. was: Her Majesty, itis said, means to honor, in an es- pecial manner, the next birthday of Prince Albert, which takes place on the 26th inst., when the Prince enters his 24th year. A large party will be enter- tained to dinner at the Castle; and her Majesty,will, it is understood, afterwards have an evening party, for which cards of invitation will be issued tot he ptincipal nobility and gentry in the neighborhood of Windsor Castle. The Duchess of Kent and suite proceed in a few oe to Westbaben Baths, via Brusseils. The Queen and Prince Albert left town for Windsor, by the Great Western Railway, on the 23d ult. Her Majesty is expected to arrive at Buckingham Palace this day week, for the purpose of proroguing Parliament, and will return to ind- sor immediately after the ceremony. Tueararcats,--Covent Garden Theatre,under the management of Mr. Charles Kemble, will open on the 4th of September. ‘There will be only three performances a week. It is expected that Miss Adelaide Kemble will retire from the stage at Christmas, in consequence of her recent marriage Mr. Jules Benedict is to be the musical director of Covent Garden Theatre for the ensuing seuson, with Hughes as leader, and Eames assecond leader of the orchestra, ‘ + Macready will re-commence his theatrical cam- ign at Drury Lane, positively on the Ist of Octo- ber Vaushal Gardens were re-opened last week, after a somewhat lengthened close, with the usual programme of entertainments—Ducro' res, concert both vocal and instrumental, the burning of Hamburg, fireworks, &c. i ; ‘The following Musical Festivals will take place in September :— Norwich, under the direction of Professor Taylor ; Neweastle, under the direction of Sir George Smart ; and Worcester, under the direction of Mr. Sarum. The Reading Festival will take place in October. The Newcastle election committee have umeated Mr. Harris, the liberal member, and declared that Mr. Colquhoun ought to have been returned. ‘This decision sustains the objection to Mr. Harris, as having been disqualified by bribery committed by his agents, at a previous election. The Ipswich elvc- tion committee have also unseated the Earl of | )e- sart, and John Giadstone,the conservative members Ipswich, for bribery committed by their agenis. for Oxnerat News.—The trial of Bean, for the last at- tack on her Majesty’s life, is to take place at the criminal court, on the 25th inst. he typhus fever is at present making fearful ra- vages at Paris. Troors ror Inp1a anp Curna.—The East India Company haye not yet concluded the despatch of troops to India, as several large ships are being tak- enup for the conveyance of troops to Bombay, Cal- cutta, and Hong Kong. Enlisting, especially for the artillery, 1s still actively going on in the metro- polis. The recruits, after being attested, are sent off to the company’s depot, at Chatham, commanded by Colonel Henry. There are no fewer, at present, than four hundred and fifty-four officers of infantry, in Her Majesty’s service, and one cavalry officer, in London, em; loved in the recruiting service in the United Tingaars. i x The civilians of India are about presenting Sir Robert Sale with a sword worth two hundred gui- neas, with the word ‘ Jellalabad,” engraved on it. ir Charles Napier, now commanding the Poona division of the Indian army, is to proceed to Ati- ghanistan in October. There is a desire to permit General Pollock to reap the harvest for which he has so well toiled ; but Lord Ellenborough has de- termined, I understand, to place in that part of our dominions, a large European force, and a tried ge- neral in the rougher sort of warfare, than that to which Indian Generals are exposed. . Large meetings on the subject of the distress of the country, have been held at DAvaroe Leeds, Coventry. ‘Manchester, Paisley, and other places The Caledonia, Capt. Scott, arrived home on the 29th, in ten days, and by her full files of Canadian and Lower Province papers were received, and New York journals to the 16th June. 4 The West India mail steamer Tweed arrived at Falmouth the day previous—as usual, a tortnizht over due. The Jamaica papers announce the ac- couchement of the Countess of Elgin of a daughter. Another of the W. I. Steamers was due on the 3)th ult., but will hardly arrive before another week, so uncertain and irregular are their movements. The whole kingdom was visited with a very se- vere thunder storm on the 26th, which did consider. able damage, by the lightning striking several churches, and other elevated public buildings. The heavy rain which also accompanied, laid and dem- aged much of the standing corn. ‘The annual meeting of the members of the We: leyan Methodist denomination, termed the Confe ence, was held in London, on the 27th. Preachers from all parts of the country attended, and a very. favorable statement of the progress and prospects of the Society was presented. Its institutions are in a very flourishing condition, and there has been a very large accession to the numbers of this body during the past year. a eather epee P Among the deaths in high life, which have receat- ly occurred, are Sir Thos. D. Hesseth, Bart.; Sir \W. Woods, Knight Garter, Principal King at Arms; Dr. Brown, Dean of Ferns; James Holmes, Esy., Hizh Bailiff of Southwark ; the Prince Dolgrouxi, (son of the Russian general of that name,) who was killed in a duel. Forsien Inrevuicence.—France.—The King of the French opened the Chambers with a shortspeech, confined principally to the loss they had sustained, and to the necessity for appointing a regent. Ilis Majesty was accompanied by his sons, the Duke de Nemours, the Prince de Juinville, the Duke de Au- male and the Duke de Monthensieur. It is said that the Duc de Nemourswill be constituted Regent, and that the widowed Duchess of Orleans will have the guardianship of her children. Such an arrange- ment, it is supposed, will be satisfactory to all par- ties, and be the most effectual means of providing for the safety of the Government. The Duc de Ne- mours is generally spoken of as a strong minded man, rather taciturn than otherwise—not very popu- lar with the army, but honest and upright, and trust- ed by those who know him. It was not anticipated that the dynastic opposition would allow the session to terminate, without an attempt to upset the Min- ister. The funeral procession of the Duke of Orleans from Neuilly to Paris, took place on the 30th ulc., and the funeral itself on the Ist inst. PorrucaL.—The ‘gta ech army, itis said in a letter from Liston, is to be immediately increased by 4,295 men. A decree had appeared for the i:n- mediate and effectual enforcement of a tax of ten per cent on every description of Ly ae The treaties of commerce with E nae, ir the sup- pression of the slave trade, had been agreed upon and ratified. “Tur Firsr-Gun.”—Mr. Rizhard Coe, one of the Appraisers of the Custom House in Philadelphia, it is reported, received yesterday morning an official notice from the Treasury department that* his vices were no longer required as an appraiser. ‘Thi notice is given ‘by order of the President of the United States,” and is signed by McClintock Young for the Secretary of the Treasury. The reason for this dismissal, if any is required to be given, we have not heard reported—probably the usual one of incompatability of opinions upon public matters. Tur Foreten News.—Harnden & Co. beat others in getting the foreign news into this city y«: terday morning. They did the business handsome- ly. Through them we received our foreign files to to the 4th inst., at half-past three o’clock, which enabled us to publish the news ina large portion of our edition. It came by the way of Hudson,down the river, inthe fine and fast steamer Columbia, Captain Newbury. ‘We must not here forget to mention, however, that Adams & Co. and the officers of the Cleopatra, were very kind, They sent to us foreign papers re- ceived by their usual routes, the former at 6 o’clock, and the latter about seven. And it ought to be stated also that Charles Will- mer, and Willmer & Smith, enterprising newspayer agents in Liverpool, forwarded us London papers of the 4th inst. which they received by express in time for the steamer which left Liverpool on that day. Navat.—Commodore Lavallette has assumed the command of the Navy Yard at Pensacola. Com- modore Barron is in very ill health. United States brig Apprentice, Lieut. Moores, ar- rived at Boston, Thursday, from a cruise to New York and infermediate ports. A Preasure Trir.—Take the steamboat Rock- land, Capt. Schenck, at the foot of Robinson street, at half past eight in the morning and three in the afternoon, and and in a few hours you are safely landed at Keyport, about 30 miles from the city, where the Mansion House, kept by Mr. Jacques, will supply you with all the luxuries of the sea shore, and all the comforts of our most fashiona- ble watering places. The bathing, fishing and fowl- ing in the vicinity is excellent, and a more com- fortable place of resort for a few days can scarcely be found in the precincts of our city. City Intelligence, Aut Hanps Paerane.—Henry A. Herott, who is now in the Tombs on a charge of swindling, and who advertised for clerks, agents, &c., at 176 William street, and also pre- tended to keep a passage office in South st.,will be brought before Recorder Tallmadge on a writ of habeas corpus on Monday morning at 10 o'clock, in order to escape that justice his acts deserve, if possible. Let every man who has been fleeced by him assemble there at that hour and present his grievances to the Recorder, who will never permit him to run at large without good security.

BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL. i all ea ho Washington. ‘3 of the Herald.} ASHINGTON, Friday—3 P. M. «+ Confusion worse Confounded”—No Tariff The Treaty—Mr. Van Buren—Gen. Scott. Language cannot describe the confusion and con- sternation that still pervade the ranks of both par- ties here. Propositions of every sort to adjust the Tariff question have been made ; but so far, nothing has been done, and it is doubtful whether anything can be done. The Democrats North and South are prepared to vote for a bill fixing the duties at a mean between the laws existing in 1882 and 1812— thatis,the compromise act,with five-tenths of the re. duction. This, the Tariff men conceive, will not afford adequate protection, and will not go for it. ‘The House is now in debate in committee of the whole on Mr. Barnard’s Bills to legalise the existing revenue laws. Substitutes have been offered but nothing has yet been done even on this. Mr. Cushing has made a most able and conclu- sive speech in reply to an inflammatory one by Mr. Adams, but the House is in such a state that no ap- peal can be of any avail. The Senate went into executive session on the treaty at half-past eleven. The morning business was of no public importance. _ Mr. Presroy moved to take up the resolution fixing upon Monday as the day of adjournment, but after some conversation,he withdrew the motion. It the House came to any decision to-day, the Senate will act upon the resolution to morrow. The rumour was last evening that Mr. Calhoun had taken ground against the treaty, but a Senator whose personal and political relations with Mr. C. are not of a friendly nature, came into the House while the Senate was in secret session, and stated that Mr. C. had just delivered the most able, patrio- tic and majestic speech in defence of the treaty that was ever uttered on the floor of Congress. The re- buke which he administered to the opponents of the treaty is said to have been most withering. The yote isexpected to be taken this afternoon. No doubt is entertained of its ratification. It was proposed in the House to publish at the public expense, a large number of the seyeral re- ports made by members of the veto committee, but the proposition was. rejected by a large majority. ‘The Whigs did not like the idea of circulating the reports of Mr. Gilmer, and Messrs. Ingersoll and Roosevelt, however anxious to get that of Mr. Adams_| before the people ; so they ordered, on their own private account, a large number of Mr. Adams’ alone. This was sensible, certainly. The whole object would have been defeated by the adoption of the course proposed in the House. _ It has been rumored that the wise and modest General Scott has been about the capitol, making himself very busy against the ratification of the treaty. We certainly feel no inclination to prevent the General from ee opportunities for displaying himself in the field, if the only sphere in which he is calculated to shine could be secured for him, without too large a sacrifice of blood and treasure ; but really we cannot see the propriety of getting ourselves and our friends killed off for the sake, of pampering this illustrious gentleman’s vanity, which seems almost well enough fattened already to feed fora tolerable time yet upon itself, Letthe General amuse his leisure rather, in finishing the transla- tion of the French book on tactics, for part of which in the shape of an original work he has been so well paid already ; and by the time he has completed it, perl.aps some just occasion for a fright may arise, to divert him from meddling with affairs out of his ne. A lady, who shall be nameless, [but of very gene- ral intelligence, and acquaintance with the most distinguished public men in the country, through an extensive correspondence, was lately ‘in this city— and ina free conversation with several politicians as to the chances of the nextPresidency,remarked-"that the strength of Mr. Van Buren was greatly over- rated—his only strength was that of position, in hav- be Gabe been the Democratic Candidate,” and then she ed the company, ‘Do any of you know a young man, of twenty-five years ne age or younger, who is ardently and’decply devoted to his Pereion va The reply from the company was, that “they did not know a single case.” She then said “that it is such men who carry elections.” The remarks were fullfof phitosophy and good sense, and the truth of it will be fully developed whenever the contest comes on. Baltimore. [Correspondence of the Herald.] Barrons, August 20, 1542. Mr. Eviton— Thave nothing peculiarly strange to note this morning. ‘True, there have been some pithy incidents, but to narrate them at home is bad enough without troubling you with them.

Philadelphia, {Correspondence of the Herald.] Privapenrata, Aug. 20. The “ Corporal’s Guard,” or, rather, the friends of Pre sident Tyler, have now reached such numbers as to com- mand respect from both the other contending partes in the city. The whigs are beginning to appreciate the faet that they must lose the patronage of the city govern: ment if these men leave them in a body and go over to the democratic candidates, and success, it is thought, will be rendered very doubtful if even the Tyler men run their own candidates without an alliance with either. ‘The consequences of losing the city are seen to be most disas- trous to {Mr. Clay, for this is his head quarters. He has more and warmer friends in Philadelphia than in any other city that I know of. Take from him the patronage of the Custom House, and that derived from the spoils of office in the city, and his force will be bereft of the great main- spring of action. The city is in greater danger of being loatto the whigs the ensuing Fall than ior many years. aged ‘We have two distin arrivals in town, Lord Ash- burton. the dij and G.

The’ steambout John Jay, with gers for Baltimore, being in sight at the time of the accident, undertook to convey as many of the Rain- vow's igers as were willing to go to their place of destination, and about two-thirds accordingly went on board. This is the fourth time this senson that the ma- chinery of the Rainbow has been broken, in precisely the same place. The fire yesterday afternoon at the time of writing my letter, was caused by the burning of a stable, with ail its contents of hay and grain, on Wood, near Broad streets, believed to have been the work of an incendiary. During the alarm, a fireman fell from heat and exhaustion, near the corner of Broad and Arch streets, and was not resus- citated for a considerable time, and then only through the intervention of a physician.

State of Society in Troy—Gossiping, Slander and Det, Frrexp Bennett :— Ihave been alooker onin this place for several days, and I will give you a rude sketch of the city and its inhabitants. 1 do not know of any city where there is more to admire and yet so much to condemn, as can be found in Troy. A stranger upon entering Troy can- not but admire the general appearance of the place. The buildings are generally good, and the streets are clean. The enterprise of its citizens is seen upon all sides, They have several railroads, and a fine bridge ; and last, though not least, they have the best boat on the river. The steamboat Troy I would recommend to all, who wish to spend a comfortable day upon the Hudson. There are no amusements
