Were we guilty of “lying” when we pre- dicted that the State of Pennsylvania would not pay Were any of these great financial which we have repeatedly inculeated upon the ld during the last six years, found to be false in any one particular? Alas! they were heir melancholy reality is aniversally felt and admitted. We sounded the alarm We pro- claimed the truth. We exposed and laid bare scenes ‘ruption unparalleled in the history of commer- cial nations We tore aside the veil trom the hid den mystery of iniquity. Nor was our work with- out its efleet. The rotten scoundrels of Wall street have been goaded to madness, because their well- concerted robberies und plundering propensities have been revealed to the world.

Are we more “alien” or more “ foreign,” than th ted men who first sang the ‘anthem of the tree, nid the solemn old woods of this western world? Are we more “ alien” thon the colonists of Jamestown ! Are we more “ alien” than they who sought an asylum here from European eppression, and first planted the Christian religion on spots be- fore defiled by heathen sacrifice? Are we more “alien” than the hardy settlers who first reclaimed our forests, and bid the untrodden wild resound with the hum of industry ? Out upon the miserable |i bellers of the land, known to all nations as the home of outlawed liberty, and sanctuary of persecuted re- ' ligion Strange as it may seem, we have good reasons for believing that the very communication in yester- day’s Courier relative to medical matters, and in which we are accused of being “foreigners,” was itself written by a ‘‘ foreigner”—a native of Scot land—a man who has been driven with ignomy trom every city in which he has attempted to settle ! Dr. Pattison has, it is well known, failed in every place on both sides of the Atlantic, where he has sought to obtain a footing, and failed too under cir- cumstances most painfully distressing As to Dr. Mott, we have uniformly admitted and praised his talents as an operating surgeon. But the profession both home and in Europe, know per- fectly well, that he is illiterate, and very deficient in cience. Dr. Pattison himself, has, we un- derstand, repeatedly spoken to Dr. Houston in the I YORK HERALD | finances of the country. most contemptuous manner respecting the scientific itainments of Dr. Mott. But the most amusing hing of all, isthe manner in which it is attempted | to shield poor Dr. Bedtord, the “ Phenomenon,” as he is called in aerision. Nota word is offered in | explanation of the manner in which he gets up his lectures by stealing from others. It is stated that the students intend to hiss the poor man when he stlempts to lecture again. {vis quite true that we have exposed the quackery of impudent financial corporations, and in no ove ‘astance have the public been deceived in our pre- dictions or statements We have also exposed the shallow pretensions and quackery of a medical insti- tution, and the Navy Medical Department of the country have sanctioned our opinion, by the igno- minious rejection of all its pupils who appeared as candidates for admission into naval medical s¢ rvice. {tis very true that last year we were led to ape: favorably of these men and their undertaking. We were imposedupon. We took these men at their word. We gave unlimited confidence to their own statements. They said they would introduce a new system of medical educatien. ‘They held out high hopes of usefulness. We believed them. So did the poor unfortunates who were rejected at the Naval Board! We have had, as well as these young men, cause to lament having given credence to the well-varnished statements of Drs. Mott, Pattison, Sands, and Bedford, But it would be a still greater error were we toneglect giving a faithful warning respecting the character of this institution as it has been exhibited during the last session. We wish to save medical students from rejection at the Naval Board. We cannot allow deception or chicanery or incompetency in the scientific and medical world te pass unexposed and unreproved, any more than we can permit the gamblers and murderers inWall street and Ann street to escape with impunity. CHANGES IN THE CaBinet—THe PrestEnt’s NEW Po.icy.— Whatever changes may take place inthe Cabinet, the master-spirit of the administration is centred in John Tylerhimself. He will devise, ar- range, and prepare his own measures, and give them to the nation on his own responsibility. The ultras of the two great parties—the discontented and gree- dy politicians—the mere office beggars—may fret and fume as much as they please; the President will not turn to the right or to the left—he will go straight ahead, and give usa new and magnificent plan for arranging the tariff, the currency, public lands, and every other element of disorder in the Wait until it be complete. Printing or rue Post Orrice.—We understand that the printing of the blanks of the post office is now given to one Applegate, who formerly printed the Flash, Arena, and such like obscene newsp pers. We would advise the Post Office Depart- ment to enquire of the manager of the Chatham Thextre, and ascertain the sort of man that now does their work. The letters are also given to the Standard and Union—papers of no circulation, and of no use—besides being contrary to law. Really it would appear that some ot the friends of the administration are determined to do all the mis- chief that they can to its popularity and success. Important FRom Canapa.—We received by last evening’s mail, Montreal papersof Monday. They contain some important information affecting the political welfare of that Province. It appears that Sir Charles Bagot has astonished the Canadians by throwing a complete somerset in his appointments. His Excellency now seems desirous of obtaining the confidence of the French Canadian population. We take the following relating thereto from the Montreal Commercial Messenger :— I told you in my letter of yesterday that I would not be surprised if Lafontaine should “go over” to the Ministerial benches. I scarcely thought my prophecy would be veri- fied so soon. But verified ithas been, and the Ministerial benches have changed their tenants. I i e you the list of changes, bt nning with Draper, who has been translated to the Legislative Council, where he isto preside as Speaker—Mr. Jamieson being ’ other- wise provided for. Mr Baldwin is to take hiz place as Attorney General for Western Canada, with a seat at the Council Board. Mr. Lafontaine is to succeed Mr. Ogden as Attorney General for your section, and _he has appoint- ed Aylwin to the Solicitor Generalship. Mr. Girouard is to be the Commission: Crown Lands, in place ef Mr. Davidson, who will also be provided for from the purses of the people. Ps ent, it is said, is to be prorogued or dissolved immediately. | have but a moment to write to you this most important and stariling news. Troveie in Canapa. ir Charles Bagot is get- ting into trouble in Canada. It seems that the old Tory party, headed by Draper, Ogden, Harrison, and Sullivan, have been leading Sir Charles into a very ridiculous position with respect to the liberal party there, headed by Baldwin La Fontaine. The Governor has been induced, in attempting to carry on the government on the old Tory system, to pro- pose terms of reconciliation with the liberals, which the latter have contemptuously rejected. A general ** flare-up” has been the result ; and we should not be.surprised if the recall of Sir Charles and the dis- solution of the Canadian Parliament should follow, with a general effervescence of the political ele- ments throughout the two provinces. FasnionaBué Movements.—Some person, who has little business of his own to keep him out of mis- chief, put an advertisement in the Herald of Tyes- day, headed ‘Fashionable Movements.” Its ob- ject was to injure Mr. E, K. Collins in the estima- tion of those passengers, who go in his fine packets. It stated that Lieut. Jenkinson, nephew of Lord Liverpool, and several of the ton, had taken passage in the packet ship Sheridan to sail on the 25th inst. Iris true, that Lieut. J. has taken passage, and that the ship will go full, but the announcement of the fact did not come from Mr. Collins, or from any one connected with his house. His ships and indeed all our famous packet ships speak for themselves.— They need no public notice to fill them with pas- sengers. The following distinghished stran- arrived in town, and taken lodgings at th» Globe Hotel:—Lord Wm. Paulet, Mr. Wynne, 68th Regiment, Hon. MH. Noel, Mr. Stewart, J. Horsley Palmer, Captain Cooper, of the British Ariny. We have now three or four live lords here—but we can’t get up more pablic dinn: No appetite. Mormonism.—Cook Bennett is kicking up a row in Boston, aad getting into hot water about his very apocraphal disclosures of the doctrines of Joe Smith. In Nauvoo, things look quiet and peacea- ble—no trouble—no fuss—no revolution. Yester- day we received a variety of documents, letters, and papers, disclosing much news of importance, which we shall give in a day or two. Commerciat Desratcu.—The Akbar, Captain Damaresq, of Boston, arrived at Singapore 10th June, bringing China dates to 27th May, and by her the intelligence brought by the overland mail was received from China. This passage of twelve days, or even thirteen days, from China to Singapore, againat the monsoon, is the shertest on record, and even with the fair monsoon would be a very fair run. Corman’s Lirerary Satoon, No. 203 Broapway. —We recommend once more, that every lady and gentleman visiting the city of New York do call, without fail, and see Colman’s Gallery of beautiful paintings, and examine his immense stock of fine books and engravings. We repeat, that we were truly astonished at the quantity and quality of his collection which we saw there. Although his rooms are up stairs, they are easy of access. He intorms us that he is about to open one of his lower stores, in the same building, to sell occasionally by auction, and upon the cheap cash plan, all the com- mon books of the day. We wish him success. EXPORTING OLams to Coney Istanp.—The Wash- ington papers are yery piously engaged in publishing the long, dull speeches of members of Congress, spoken at the last session. Oht ye Gods and little fishe: ig Noah calls Weed a “cheat,” and Weed calls Noah an old “ rogue.” Both right. Democratic Warp Meerines.—The meetings of the Democrats of the eity, te select delegates to choose candidates for Congress, State Senator, Members of Assembly, and Register of the city in place of Sherman Brownell, whose time expires this fall, took place last evening. Our reporters at- tended the several places designated, but owing to the confusion, riot, rowdyism, and utier cou- fusion, and the lateness of the hour at which the balloting terminated, it was impossible to ascertain which set of delegates were elect- ed. Full particulars to-morrow, with the result of who are to be nominated for Congress. If such meetings are to be considered as an expression of publie opinion, good Lord deliver the country from the horrors of political combat. No wonder that we have asset of intriguing, mousing, and corrupt representatives, after such movements are set down as the acts of the people. New Mayor.—We understand that the demo- cratsare already beginning to canvass the merits of candidates for the office of Mayor at the ensuing election. The enthusiastic “ young democracy” have put up the venerable name of Preserved Fish, the patriotic man who had the spirit to leave the Ashburton dinner table when the memorable insult was offered to the President and constitution of the United States. This noble act has placed him a peg higher than other candidates. The “old de- mocracy,” a great many of whom are old rogues, and practised intriguers, are, in order to sustain themselves, looking after Stephen Allen, a very ex- cellent and worthy man. But he has been Mayor already, and don’t want the honor again. ‘The fuet is, the “* young democracy” will succeed with their Fish—who will not any longer be a fish out of wa- ter, but a live fish swimming glonously up the stream. Great AauicuturaL Fair.—There is to be a grand agricultural and horticultural fair held in Al- bany on the 27th, 28th, 29th, and 30th of this month. It is to be given by the New York State Agricultu- ral Society. It will be more extensive than any fair of the kind ever held in any part of the world. One of the principal features of the exhibition will be the Aloe, which blooms but once a century. The owners of the steamers Swallow and Columbus have kindly offered to take from this city to the exhibition all vegetables, fruits, and flowers, {ree of charge. This Fair will place our farmers on a better foot- ing than they have yet enjoyed. It will bring the business of the agriculturalist and horticulturalist directly before the people,and cause a deeper interest to be taken in their affairs. Heretofore the life of a farmer has been looked upon as one unfit for any but the strong and ignorant, and as a last resort when all other occupations failed. That time has passed by. More attention is now paid to the tillers of the soil ; vast improvements are making in ma- nure, and in all the implements of husbandry ; and in a few short years, agriculture will be conducted inthe United States on the same scientific princi- ples and on the same'grand scale that it isin Great Britain. This Fair is but a beginning. Let all go who can. Give the business a good start, and it will go ahead finely. Larest rrom MonTevipgo AND FALKLAND IsLANDs —We have received advices to the 15th of July. There has been no alteration in business for the better—every thing 1s paralyzed by the war. There are no freights in the United States, and sales can be made here for but few articles. There has been a general arming of all the citi- zens of Montevideo, and seven thousand fine look- BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL. 6g Our package ot southern letters was lost from the cars last night, on the route from Phila- delphia. ‘The President of the United States and his family, having performed the mourntul task of sepulture to the remains of Mrs. b Kent, were received on board the steamboat Patrick Henry, at the Grove, (a few miles above James- town) and landed at 4 o’clock at Old Point, yester- day. We presume the Committee of the Court and Common Council of the Borough will call on the President this morning; in pursuance of the resolu- tions of those bodies.—Norfolk Herald Sept. 20 —The Water Witch from Vera , 12th Inst, brought some news News rrom Mexico. Cruz, at New Orleans from Mexico: — The Mexican manufacturers are clamoring loudly for protection duties on coarse cotton and woollen cloths. Col J. Almonte, on the dth ult., received from Presi- dent tentiary and Envoy Extraordinary from Mexico to the United S:ates. Almonte, it will be recollected, was aid to Gen. Santa Anna in the battle of San Jacinto. After the defeat of the “ Napoleon,” he attached himself to the Bus- tamente party, and when Santa Anna came into power again, he was banished from the city of Mexico to a small village in the interior. At the assembling of the dele- ge to form a mew constitution he was restored to favor hy his eld patron, and will adhere to his interests while his star is in the ascendant—no longer. fine talents, but destitute of principle. The new Mexican tariff goes into operation on the Ist of November. The duties are reduced about one-half. We understand it will be published in pamphlet form in afew ‘The plan of a new constitution has not yet been re- ported to the Mexican Congress, by the committee ap- pointed to frame it A conducta of ‘ie was to have left Mexico for Vera Cruz on the 26th of August. Nothing positive was known to the Mexican public, three weeks ago,as to the state of the negotiations between General Thompson and Pres.dent Santa Anna. Some rsons looked for a rupture, but others were of opini inta Anna would temporise, if not agree to arrange mat- ters with the United States. The first livision of the Mexican troops (1,300) destined for the subjugation of Yucatan, sailed for Vera Cruz about the 10th of August. The fleet, it was ht, would effect a landing at Lagura. The objects of the invasion of Yucatan is to punish the natives and get possession of their fleet—a ten gun brig and two six gun schooners— for the purpose of operating against Texas. The yellow fever is fierce at Tampico. One passenger died on board the Apalachicola on the voyage, and Capt. Cormier, although long in the trade, died in this port yes. terday morning, soon after hie arrival. ‘There are others still on board, confined with sickness. Surroven Pinacy.—J. Wheeler, mate, and John E. Smith, George Smith, and B. Kean, seamen of the brig Apalachicola, were yesterday arrested by the police of the First Municipolity, on the affidavit of two gent!emen who came passengers tn the vessel, charging them w the embezzlement of several of specie. “They wi remanded for further examination on account of the ill- ness of the mate. ‘The last trip of the Apalachicola was very unfortunate. Cormier, her commander, was attacked with the yellow fever when two days out from Tampico, the mate taking chargeof the vessel. One of the passengers, whose name we could not learn, was also taken sick, and died. On the 7th inst., as we learn from passenger, the vessel was near the Balize, when a diffi- culty arose. The passengers charged th. intention to run the brig into Barratari specieout. ‘The cause of this charge was t did not understand navigation, and being tothe lighthouse, as they found by a vessel they fell in with, took an entirely different course. ‘They then com- pelled him to tack about and stand for the light-house. There are various other rumors afloat, but as the matter will undergo judicial investigation, we willsay no more at present.—New Orleans Crescent City, Sept. 13. He isa man of City Intelligence. Case oF Genenat Stonms.—The Court of Inquiry, in the case of General Storms, convened at Albany en Mon- day last, and reported to His Excellency, the Sorernor, the result of their investigation, as follows :— Ist. That General Storms did not vacate his commission as Brigadier General of the First Brigade,HorseArtillery, by accepting the appointment of Commissary General. 2nd. That the two offices are not incompatible with each other, and that it is not contrary to the laws und usages of the State that the duties of the two offices should be discharged by the same individual. This decision is in accordance with the opinion and argument of Col. Hart, the counsel of General Storms, and it has been sustained by the Executive, as Comman- der in Chief ; and thus ends this question, somewhat here- tofore “ vexed,” but especially agitated in the case of Ge- ing troops are now prepared to repel any invasion from Buenos Ayres. The British Minister, is now here, and has a treaty with the goverament concluded, which will produce British interference, to end the war between Montevideo and Buenos Ayres. There had been an arrival from the Falkland Islands, and it was stated that Captain Ross, with his two discovery ships, Erebus and Terror, is at Port Louis. They are refitting at the Falklands, and are the next summer again to attempt the voyage South in the track of Capt. Waddell, who passed to the lati- tude of 74, where he left an open sea. It is said Capt. Ross has made important discoveries in the variation of the compass and the situation of the south pole. The United States ship Delaware, Com. Morris, arrived at Montevideo on the Ith of July, from Rio Janeiro, with the United States ship Decatur, all well. * The French Minister to Paraguay has not been allowed by the government of Buenos Ayres to pro- ceed up the river, that government holding the forts of Martin Garcia, which command the entrance of the river ; butit is said that a competent naval force will soon arrive from France, to force the pas- sage and convey the minister to Assumption, the capital of Paraguay Travian OrgrRa—ANOTHER BURST UP.—Read Sig- nor De Begnis’ card, in another column. The Ita- lian notes won’t circulate—they are as immdvable as Jacksonville—hence the whole plan has explo- ded. Well, we are sorry. Signor, try a concert— try a concert—do try. Vourear Lirgrarure.—Marryatt’s new novel called ** Percival Keene” is about equal to “ Tom Jones” in morals and manners. Marryatt must have consumed two barrels of the best gin, while he was writing its sad pages. To James Gornon Bennett, Esq :— Sr:— | i You do me injustice in a paragraph, in your paper of yesterday morning, relative to the supposed pro- ject of a new paper. _ I have no connection with Mr. Willis or Mr. Par- malee, or have I ever exchanged one word with themon the subject, and have not the honor of a personal acquaintance with Mr Willis. And more- over, I have neither the requisite capital, or the dis position, to start a T'yler paper, or any other politi- cal paper whatever. Yours, very respectfully, ALEXANDER JONES. Remarxs.—This is very sensible in Dr. Jones. He is too shrewd a man to engage in a hopeless busi- ness. Good—go ahead. Nisto’s.—The proprietor had great gardens last night,of course; we knew it would be so. This even ing “ La Féte Champetré, and the ‘* Night Owl;” the latter pantomime, though by no means exhaust- ed, is about to be put aside; Niblo being determined to render the season one of the most brilliant on re- cord Miss Wells also appears ina pas. The Rae vels are in full force to-night. Cuarnam Trratre.—Mr. Booth again appeared to the satisfaction of a well attended house last night. In fact there is such a winniug peculiarity in the representations of this distinguished trage- dian, that many individuals have already engaged seats for every night of his engagement. To-night, the never dying tragedy of Richard Third will be enacted, with a cast such as this theatre only can present. Mr. Beoth as Richard, Thorne as Rich- mond, and Mrs. Thorne as Queen Elizabeth. Six- teen String Jack closes the entertainments. Og Two thirds of the visitors at the American Museum, to witness the afternoon performances, are Jadies and children unattended by gentlemen. As from time immemorial it has been regarded per- fectly proper for ladies to visit the museum without gentlemen, the plan of giving day performances every afternoon is a matter of particular accommo- dation to the female portion of many families. The mechanical human figures, lately arrived from Eu- rope, and now performing at the American Mu- seum, form the most amusing and wonderful exhi- bition we ever saw, and the performances of Win- chell, Miss Hood and Celeste, are superb. It is worth a quarter to see the crowds of ladies and gen- tlemen which throng this favorite establishment.— The seats in the lectare room have been newly cushioned, and the whole is neat as a new pin. neral Storms, We forbear to express now our opinion in ragard to what some of the friends of General 8. believe to be private persecution, But take care, gentlemen, how you touch this subject again— There’s a chiel amang ye takin’ notes, And faith he'll prent ’em.” A Comet in New Fenn.

Diep ow FaLuine ovr oF Bev.—A female infant aged ten days, the daughter of Lorinda Barber, of 173 Chatham st., fell out of bed on frie pi night, and was killed almost instantly. ‘The coroner held an inquest on her body. AvnornerR Duev.—Duels are a pastime in New Or- leans. Times are dull, and the Creoles have no- thing else to do but to practice fencing, and to run each other through the body. Two did s0 on the 12th instant. Creek Invians.—The Creek Indians, according to recent accounts, are making great progress in Christian faith and morality. Court or Errors.—It met on Monday, but ad- journed to the next day, a quorum not being pre- went. Mexican War Sreamers.—One of these vessels, the Guadaloupe, made of iron, was spoken on the 22d ultimo, off the coast of Yucatan. She appeared to be fully manned, and had her guns »;ounted. Yettow Fever in New Onveans.—There were only eight deaths on the 10th and 1th inst. Jack Frost will soon drive the fever from that city. Movement or THE Canwwetr.—The Hon. J. C. Spencer, Secretary of War, arrived at Fort Monroe on the 17th instant, and was received with the usual honors. EE (G- ITALIAN OPERA.—Stavor px Brows has much regret in announcing to the punlic the failure of his endea- vors, in connection with those of Messrs. Antognini and Seguin, to procure, within the brief timo Proposed, asutli- cientnumber of subscribers to sustain an Italian opera in N. York. Ashe cannot attribute the very limited he has met with, to a deficiency of talent in the artistes he had proposed to associate with him, he feels he must, like others, bear his portion of the evils of “hard times,” as he ill never believe that the City of New York, the most distinguished for refinement in this hemisphere, is defi- cient in that musical taste, requisite to support an Italian Opera ; he therefore expresses the hope, that under better auspices, an undertaking so calculated to disseminate the taste for music, will experience better encouragement than he has been at present enabled to meet with. To those ladies and hor hrerene who 80 liberally prof- fered their support, by their prompt subscriptions to this projection, which’ was to have been the foundation of a permanent opera house, embracing in its future arrange- ments, the engagement of the most distinguished talent on either side of the Atlantic, Signor De is to ex- press his most grateful acknowledgements, with the re- spectful hope, that should ata future period this project be revived, they will not be discouray by the abandon- of this, frou a renewal of this support to the estah- Italian Opera in New York. , 113 Hudson street, 21st Sept., 1842. ‘TO THE MILITARY—FALL PARADES.—This is the season when the annual parades of the military lace, and it is the season when quick changes in the Tyler, in the county of New | Anna, the appointment of Minister Plenipo- | GREAT REVIVAL OF BUSINESS. The Pu xr Makers—Readers— Advertisers, Business of all kinds continues to revive to such an extent, particularly in the circles of cash trade and fre | quent sales, that we feel it very sensibly in our particular | line. ‘The agregate circulation of the Hxnato is now considerably over 30,000 copies, throughout all the most intelligent and business classes of society in this country ~and particularly in New Nork and the large Atlantic cities. It is also increasing at the rate of 200 per week. | Our advertisements hay also, during the last few weeks, | increased 40 much, that we shall be compelled in a short | Ume to increase our size—without, however, increasiog | the prices, either of subscription or of advertising. In consequence thereof of these events, notice is hereby given to paper-makers that we now invite their offers for | acontract of paper, of the same good quality on which the Herald is now published, but of # larger size. ‘The pro sent size is equal to 32 inches by 23. The proposed size we intend to be 37 inches by 24, of the same quality and | weight we now use—deliverable ut our office weekly, | payable in cash down on delivery. Our consumption of paper is equal to nearly $60,000 per annum—all paid for weekly in cash as received—being the largest quantity and value of paper consumed by any newspaper establishment in this country. Paper manufacturers will please to hand in their terms on which they will enter upon such a contract, any time between this date and the 20th of October. ‘We would also respectfully invitethe public, who now very justly consider the New Youx Hrnaup, the princi- pal organ of business advertising in the country, to give usa little time, and they will have no eause to complain that we leave their advertisements frequently out of our paper.

Extract of The Genuine Sarsaparilia, Prepared by THE COLLEGE OF MEDICINE AND PHARMACY Or ‘rae Crry or New York. ._ This article has been prepared at great expense, accord- ing to the new process of the Parisian pharmaccutists, and onfidently denominate. the onty really valuable prepa- ration of Sarsaparilla now offered for sale in this country. Together with the active principle of the Smilax offici- valis—the best species of the root—the College have incor- | Simp that uliar modification of sugar, which has termed glycyrrhizin. In the “Extracts” of the nos trum-venders and certain druggists, the common extract ot bey the chief ingredient, and oan readily be de tected. But it is proper to state that in most cases this extract of liquorice is adulterated, and contains copper de rived from th = in which the decoction of the root is evaporated. The College wish thus particularly to guard the public against the pernicious tendency of ‘mixtures, containing large quantities of this poisoned liquorice. The “ Extract,” pre] by the College, contains also an ap- propriate quantity of the peculiar crystallizable principle, obtained from that valuable vegetable bitter, Gentian, (so called from Gentius, King of Illyria, who first diseovered its great virtues.) A small portion of the active constitu- ents ot the Laurus Sassafras, another vegetable, whose efficacy as ap alterativeand purifier of the blood is well known, has Tikewise been added. These several articles have been incorporated, and their peculiar principles compounded in a highly concentrated form, and the re- sult has been the production of a vegetable alterative and tonic, unequalled for power and efficacy. ‘The College merely add the following extract from the edition just published of Brande’s “ Practical Dictionary of the Materia Medica :”— “ This article has been prescribed in chronic rheuma- tism—in obstinate cutaneous eruptions—in indolent ulcers—in glandular affections—in diseases of the bones, attended by dull aching pins, tumors and nodes—wasting of the flesh—and it has proved a valuable remedy, and har sometimes effected a cure where other alteratives have been long administered in vain, and when the diseased state of the system has Seen of many years duration. In the after treatment of eyphilis, and in cases where mercury has inju- riously uz'ected the system, it possesses powers not hitherto observed in any other article of the Materia Medica.” Sold in sinoux Borries, at... . 75 eents each.

In New Orleans on the 12th, $129,629 in specie arrived from Tampico. A great question that’ concerns the farmers of the west is, how is the surplus crop of grain in this country to be disposed of now that the harvest of England is ascertained tobe such as not to admit foreign corn? The market for American produce since 1887 has been extending itself in all direcffons, So soon as the paper system gave way and allowed prices to fall to their natural level, which we take to be, the money value of flour, at compared with the money value of the results of an equal amount of labor in those commercial countries with which we hold inter- course, the import ceased and the export rapidly increased and was accelerated by the accumulating stock resulting ‘rom the increasing industry of the people. When wheat was held here in 1837 at the paper rate of $2 per bushel, near 4,000,000 bushels were imported; 1,500,000 bushels came from Germany, and near 1,000,000 bushels from Eng- Jand and English colonies. To what ahorribie result did the paper system bring the United States, which, contain ing 9,000,000 active people of whom 3,700,000 are agricul- turalists, was obliged to import bread to eat. ‘This was “developing the resources of the country through the banking system” ina most remarkable manner. In 1349 England and her colonies were our chief customers, but the other markets, particularly Brazil, increased. In or- der to understand the movement of the trade,we annex the following, compiled from official returns :— Exront or Froun rrom ty Unita States, ror a Saniss ‘dikes ov Yrans. ere to. 1941.

Since then the English harvests being bad, and the granaries of Europe being exhausted, great recourse has been had to those ofthe United States. The South American markets hed also drawn their supplies from Europe to a great extent; but the same causes,which opened the English markets to American grain, also left that grain without a competition in the other markets of the world. France was a source of supply for grain here- tofore, either of French growth of other countries, who export across France; occasionally, however, the crop of France falls short, and she is obliged to import for con- sumption. The exports of grain, of French growth, and the import for French consumption is in the official returns put down as specialcommerce. That which is imported or exported across France from other countries, is with the special commerce called the general commerce of France. We will here annex a table in francs of the export and import of grain from and to France for a se- ries of years :— Imvonts ayo Exronss or Grain FROM anv 10 France. Imports. ‘Exports, Gen.

The table does not include flour, which is distinct and additional to this. The litre of wheat is valued at £.0,- 20c. in the official tables. This year the imports of France will exceed those of 1840,because of the failure of the har- vest. The prospect for a market them for the coming year is good, because the erp is very short. On this sub- ject the London Bankers’ Circular of August 26th has the following :— “On authorities, which, collectively, are as good as that of the Earl of Leiscester would have been om anything re- lating to the sgrioultors in Noriolk, we state that all grains except wheat, will, in Franee, prove not much nore than a half crop, and that wheat itaelf will not ex- ceed two thirds ofan evacege SapTy, The Mediterranean coast of Spain will not, we believe, be found in a much better plight than France.” We have information from other quarters tending to corroborate this statement. The fact, then, ls apparent that, although England hasa plentiful supply, the grana- ries of Europe are not only exhausted, but the countries of the greatest consumption have short crops. In this case, independently of the markets which those countries will afford directly for the sale of flour, the markets which France has been wont to supply, will be left entirely open to American enterprise, and assisted by the low prices, a most favorable opportunity for extended sales would pre- sent itself. But precisely those countries with which the market for American flour was extending itself, have met witha rebuff by the operation of the late tariff. In the above table it will be observed that next to England, the Brazils, the Spanish, French and Danish West Indies,took the largest quantities of four. Let us now see the propor tion of sugar taken from them:— Se aronrs oF BRows Buca " Indies, 19,988, Danish West, a. tg AHS 3,708,463 206 + (60,103,742 9,88, pinces, 18,670/109 ‘Total tbe. 182,540,327 $8,951,371 (On this artiele,almost the sole produce of those countri aduty of 2} cents per Ib. or 80 per cent advalorem, accord- ing to the official cost, has been laid. This directly cuts off the ability of those countries to buy fleur. The object of that hgh duty was to benefit the growers of sugar in Louisiana, by compelling the consumers to buy less fo- reign sugar, to pey more for Louisiana sugar. But by cutting offthe means of those large markets for flour, to pay for it, the ability of the farmer to buy any sugar is reduced. ‘The Brazils are an important market, not only for pro- dueejbut for manufactured goods, and a chief reasen for reducing the duty on sugar and coffee in England, was to increase the ability[of the Brazils to buy English goods. Our manufacturers by procuring the enactment of the late tariff have been playing directly inte the hands of their English rivals, They have in their greediness fora high tariff on their own manufactures thrown one of their best markets entirely into the hands ofthe English. ‘The whole aspect of the foreign markets, with the excep tion of England, is highly fayorable to the sale of agricul- tural produce, were it not for the restrictions imposed upon goods to be received in return. Great as is theatock of bullion in the Bank of England, it pagers cy nor the safety of that institution to opene! iodigt prudosrrs do American produce will be liable to be paid forjin English gold, If the Brazils,;for instance, wants United States flour, and sellsther sugarfin England, the American shipper would receive bill drawn against that sugar, I{ there is no demand for that billin New York to pay for imports, specie will be drawn for it, This the Bank will not permit. the Stock Exchange, Mp he 150 shas Harlem TUR, 20 16 ™, ; ST aaa is. 100 do serip, 98 tino Ti" "30 do Farmer's Loan, 183% 5000 Minot 6, 870) 9 % a Contes ces wt eo ee we ie to Pied 30 ge ‘ica shaw Maio RK, De i"
