NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Wednesday, October 5, 1842. AT SPEECH, accurately an tully reported, for sale atthe Herald office—price two cents. ‘This is the only correct report of the speec! published. A Wensrer’s Speeca axn Posrriox —The news papers of both parties are stil] discussing, with gre at warmth, the views, position and purposes, of Mr Webster, as developed in his recent speech in Bos- ton A perfect fermentation seems to pervade the ultra whigs—and it seems probable that in the ensuing elections one-third will remain at home, without voting atall. In Massachusetts, New York, Penn- sylvania, New Jersey and Ohio, where the full elections are coming on, the whigs seem disorgan- ized and disheartened, by their false positions and hasty movements. It is evident that we are on the verge of a singular crisis in political affairs. It would seem that Van Buren, Calhoun, Tyler, Web- ster, Scott, and all the other political elements, are combining to deteatthe movement made for Henry Clay, and that in the next House of Representa- tives he will have hardly a corporal’s guard favor- able to him hereatter. The excitement is only begun. Another ‘speech onthe present state of public affairs, is to be made by Mr. Webster on his way through this city to Washington. Ifhis last speech was great, his com- ing one will be greater. Tue Conrempr.—It will be s: report, that onthe motion made by H. M. Wes- tern, citing us before the court for a contempt, that uhat very court have decided it to be no contempt atall. Why, then, did the court ever consent to issue an order atall, if it was not a contempt? Why did they drag away men from their business without sufficient cause? It is also very strange that two such profound lawyers as Henry M. Western, Esy., assisted by the Attorney General of the State oi New York, had not looked into the statute before they made a motion that was untenable, and ille- gal in every point of view. We wish them all—every one in the business— much luck of their wonderful legal lore. They certainly deserve “‘a first rate notice in the Boston Post”—e.nd must get it. Wise’s Appress to ‘“‘ My Constirvgnts.” This production is highly praised in many,quarters ; but it seems to us to be conceived and written in bad ‘taste, Wise sets up for an imitator of the late John Randolph, but he only gets as far as a caricature. Randolph had genius,poetry, learning,and fine taste, which gave a classical air to his egotisms and ec- centricities. Wise’s taste and genias are all of the lower order—of the Boz school of literature—a sort of loafer intellect. He is no John Randolph. Mr. Cray tn Conctnnati.—Mr. Clay reached Cin~ cinnati on} Tuesday, Sept. 27th. The “ Gazette” says, “a large crowd was there to greet him; they came together of theirown accord, and made the welkin ring. And sucha multitude! The old and the young, merchant and manufacturer, mechanic and day laborer, were mingled in the crowd.” The ‘Cincinnati Republican” gives this account of the arrival :— Tux Recerrion.— The Farmer of Ashland,” alias “the Mill Boy of the slashes,” arrived in our city yesterday at aboutten o’clock. He was rece! ed by a right smart crowd, but there was nothing very alarming in the whole matter. One steamboat went up to meet the Ashland—the two were lashed togeth* er, as they approached the landing, and there were several etlorts made by tose on board and those on the wharf, to get up a tremendous shout; but, al- though we were in the vicinity, we escaped with- out being entirely stunped ,by the notse. Mr. Cl was escorted to the Broadway Hotel by the crowd, and soon after he entered was called upon for an ad- dress. (rovernor Metcalf appeared as his substi- tute. After stating that Mr. Clay was fatigued and indisposed, he let off a small torrent of abuse against President Tyler, in the most approved style. After the Governor concluded, the crowd persisted in call- ing for Mr. Clay, and he appeared at the window, and made come remarks which we did not hear.— Mr. Crittenden 1s with Mr. Clay, but he took lodg- ings at the Henrie House. We understand that Mr. Clay is to start for Dayton this morning. Stcnor De Beonts aGain.—Signor De Begnis has sent us the following :— Ma.

The second race was a sweepstakes for three year olds, subscription $200, mile heats—$75 forfeit. The tollowing horses were entered :— Samuel Laird, ch. c. Cesar, by Mingo, dam Jane Maria. H. A. Conover, ch. f. Fanny Dawson, by Veto, dam by Sir Charles. T. Porter, s. f. Princess, by Imp. Priam, dam Sally Hope. Fanny Dawson paid forfeit, and Cesar and Prin- cess started for the purse. The former was the fa- | vorite, and bets were freely offered of $25 to $10, and about asfreely taken. Princess took the lead at the start, and kept it, winning the heat by about two lengths in 1m, 58)8. At the second heat those who had been caught napping hedged up with three to ten, but takers were scarce. Princess won the | second heat with ease, taking the lead from the start, and goming in twenty yards on the advance. from our Sessions | Time, 1m. 89s. | There will be fine sport at the course to-day, as will be seen by the entries in another cclumn.

Treasurer it will be remembered made the best three mile time in the race with Andrewetta in 1840 that was ever run in this country. He took the purse iaone heat—time 5m. 42s. Should he be successful to-day, in all probability he will be entered for the four mile purse against Fashion to-morrow. The filly, Emily Glentworth, that it was supposed would have been entered by Col. Jones tor to-day’s three mile race, is out of condition. The four mile race for a purse of $1000, comes off to-morrow. The entries will be known and re- gistered on the Herald bulletin this evening atter 6 o'clock. ° There will also be a race against time by a well known horse immediately after the Jast race to-day. The odds are against his performance. Immediately after the race there will be a sweep- stake trot over the Centreville Course. See adver- tisement. Joun C. Covr in tHe Lrrerary Fietp.—We find in an evening paper, the following curious letters, said to be written by Colt, who is now under sen- tence of death in the Tombs. The sentiments and opinions of these lettersare very like his late address to the Court. Colt thinks that the newspapers ate the cause of his sad fate—and that if he could have given them gold, he would have escaped Probably by the same kind of rea- soning the newspapers killed Adams, and ought to be alone punished. We have no doubt the poor man thinks courts, juries, the public and all news papers are equally wrong—all corrupt—all rotten= and that there is only one saint now living, and he is John C. Colt.

Depressed State of Trade,—Large Fallures, —Return of the Queen from Scotland.— The Treaty, Markets, &c. The Columbia steam packet reached Boston about four o’clock yesterday evening, bringing dates to the 20th of September, inclusive. Among the pas gers is Col. Hamilton. The Queen lefr Scotland on her return on Thurs- day, September 15th, and reached London next day. She was not sea sick, wore a tartan silk dress, blue cloak and plain white satin bonnet. There is no alteration in the position of the money market. A good deal of caution is still used in the discount market as to the character of the paper pre- sented for negociation, arising from the failures amongst the corn speculators, which have apparent- ly not yet run the whole course. There is a great demand in the cotton markets, but prices are without change. A rise has taken place in the corn market. The King of Hanover is getting better in health— not in behavior. The Spanish Ministers propose a reform in the Tarifi. ‘ Portugal is to raise a large sum of money on her revenues.

The news from America ot the ratifichtion of the treaty between that governmeut and Lord Ashbur- ton, on the part of England, has given considerable impetus to speculation in the public securities, and they advanced nearly one quarter per cent on the general currency of Wednesday.

The failures during the last fortnight, at home and abroad, have been not a few, chiefly arising from the non-success of the late extensive speculation in rain.

Senator Tatumapvce.—The Wall street ultra } Whig party are in full cry ayainst Senator Tall- madge. We are not sure but the Senator deserves it. He hada chance at the last session to take a high and honorable position in favor of the eoun- try and the adminstration. When Col. Graham was made postmaster, we understand he gave inti- mations to that effect. He abandoned his proper course—and here is the reward. Inramous.—It has become quite common for abandoned and depraved wretches to place obstruc- tions on rail roads, in order to cause loss of life. Two instances have already been mentioned on the Concord Railroad ; and a few days since the same thing was done on the Portland Railroad, in the Kennebunk woods. We hope this will be made a capital offence by the legislatures of the several States g-Our friend Mr Wm. H. Brandage, of this city, has left New York to spend the ensuing winter in Port Leon, West Florida, where we hope to see hii meet with success in every enterprise ; and as he is one of the patrons of our paper, we expect to hear from him frequently during the winter. Mosr Diseracerut.—Some scoundrels in Phila- | delphia, on Sunday evening, took the carriage of the Northern Liberties Hose Company, broke it all to pieces, and cut several hundred feet of new hose. These shametul outrages are alarmingly numerous. Swact Misstonarres Marry ?—At a meeting of the American Board of Foreign Missions, at Nor- wich, in Connecticut, a few dayssince, the question was agitated, ‘‘ Shall Missionaries marry ?” some discussion, it was concluded to lay it upon the table. We should like to know why they should not marry. Exrraonpinary Newsrarer Entererise.—The Wall street papers are just publishing the excellent charge of Judge Jay of West Chester county, given to the Grand Jury on prize-fighting. Jt was publish- ed exclusively wn the Herald last week. Latest From THE Gutr.—We have received late ‘Texas and Yucatan papers, the latter by the Forest, which arrived last night.

Dean Faienn":—I am aware from other sources than your kind letters, you feel great solicitude for my From my knowledgeof the past, I may rightly judge that your expressed kindness is but ‘the overflow of your natural and wonted goodness. I must assure you that it is a source of indescribable pleasure to take up one after looking over some of the morning prints, and seeing their mistaken zeal and error, or catch-penny abuse. Were it not for the feelings of my friends, I should care very little about those who are obliged to keep the public mind ina state of excitement in order to live. These men at heartare not so bad as you may suppose. Tho conducting of the press now-a-days is too generally re- duced toa system of extorting money from whom they may, and the advancement of private ends, without the least regard to public morals or welfare. One must have read certain prints in this city for the last few years to but little purpose, not to have plainly observed these facts. You will see new papers start up almost every month. They open fairly—intend to be honest, but the truth is that they cannot live mi their first marked out course, and consequently, they have to change their position, and on every opportunity that seems to present itself, turn to abusing private individuals, for the purpose of exterting black-mail to buy bread with, It is to be hoped, however, that the penny press, like good that is at first thick and mud ty, will ultimately work itself clear,to the great and lasting blessing of the country. There are at present a few leading individuals not of the best principles, that for the time being control the whole, direc\ly or indirectly. A few years will sweep them off the boards, and a_new set, more pure and just, will take their places. They have already com- menced exposing each others’ method of getting along, jore we have oftaem, the sooner the community will be disabused in supposing all that they read is true.

The hands proved too strong for rhe mob, and succeeded in eS eg In the affray, one of ths mob was reverely beaten that he had to be removed to the Manchester daieenaty where, in the eourse of yesterday, he expired. Large mobs assembled in the neighborhood of Oxford road, and attacked several factories, but after breaking the windows immediately ran off. However, informa- tion was given at the Town-hall, and in consequence Mr. Beswick, chief superintend- ent of police, left that place with a body of special constables and police, and followed the mob to Gaythorne, where he met them when about leaving Mr. Fearnley’s mill. On seeing him, a man, who appeared to be the leader, immediately rallied the mob, bat Beswick galloped back to bring up the police force. On seeu at body, the mob ran off in all directions. Mr. ick endea- vored to apprehend the leader, a man named Mc- Kenna, and after a gallant chase of about twenty minutes, through several courts and narrow streets, he succeeded in capturing him, and he was lodge in the New Bailey. In the course of the evening several other parties were taken into custody un- der warrants, and were yesterday brought up be- fore Mr. Maude, at the Borough Court) and re- mained until Monday. Frwav Nicut.—The town has been tolerabl: quiet to-day, bnt detachments of police and special have been constantly parading different districts.— A few more hands have gone to work, but itis a ported at least 5000 weavers are still out. At Stock- ee however, twenty-five mills out of thirty-two ave resumed work. Treaty.—The news from America, relative to the ratification of Lord Ashburton’s treaty with the 8, by the Senate, and the settlement of r tariff, has been much commented upon in mercantile circles and by the press. By some, important and Immediate benefits to trade in Enfiiand are predicted from the operation of the latter measure;whilst by others the conclusion come to respecting its practical workings is not at all favo- rable, and it is confidently asserted that it will neither answer as a question of revenue nor as a proteotion to American manufactures. The adjust- mentof the poiuts of difference upon which LordAsh- burton was empowered to negociate has been view- ed with satisfactin. The effect which will be pro- duced in France by the conclusion of the treaty with America has been a peint of interest and curiosity, in discussing the merits of the question; and more especially as it relates to the article in the treaty providing for the reciprocal right of search for the suppression of the slave trade on the coast of Africa.

On the contrary, while the increase of the duties on English pont. must djscourage their export, the necessity of pay- ing the duties in chash on import will, it is believed by the best informed merchants, deter parties from consigning goods to the American market. Goods will, however, if they are wanted, find their way, directly or indirectly, into the United States.

The insurgents surprized at night and cut to pieces a body of about 10,000 men, encamped under the walls of Marga, aad made thertiselves masters of that fortress, which they en- tered together with the fugitives. Nearly the whole of the troops in the camp were put to the sword, and a number of officers were made prisoners. Markets, Lonpon Money Manxer, Sept. 19.—A very moderate amount of business has been transacted in the public se- curities during the current werk, scarcely a ain having been effected either for money or time ex in amount £25,000. A more tranquil aspect was given to the market by the receipt of the important news that the President of the United States had signed the treaty en. tered into on benalf of this country, through the successful exertions of Lord Ashburton, for the ad. justment of the Diet igpen and other disputes that have too long existed, and which have proved serious barsto the full developement of commercial intercourse and enterprise between both countries. Still, : owever the rise in the prices of Consols cannot fairly be given at more than 4 per cent—a small fraction it must be admitted, when we call to mind the depression that took place when rumors of war were so rife between the Republic and Great Britain. The fact is, as we men- tioned last week, capital has become much more in demand, and will so continue, in all probability, until tha ayment of the next half yearly dividends, which will fall due on the 20th instant, and bein course of Payment. a week later, Bank Stock hes scarcely varied ite week, although the unpalatable announcement was made to the proprietors, in half yearly court assembled, on Thursday, that the Income Tax is to be deducted from the interest upon Bank Stock now nearly due, and that so unprofitable had been the business of the corporation on the whole, as to require an encroachment upon the rest, or surplus ba lance, to meet contingencies, to the amount of nearly £6,000. The range taken by the prices of Stock from Monday up to yesterday afternoon is thie:—Consuls for mney have fluctuated from 99} to 92}, and the New ‘Three and Half per cents from 100{ to 101}.

The mar- ket has been pretty well supplied with cotton, and in some instances a decline of }d. per Jb. has taken place for tye common and middling qualities of American since Friday last. Brazil, Egyptian, East India, &c. remain as before. ‘The imports of the week amount to 8860 bags. Sept. 16.—The cotton market has this week again been Neat lene uninteresting, and a very small amount of business has been done, the sales not exceeding 12,410 bags. Speculators have been very lukewarm, their pur- chases only omouuting to 500 American; and exporters have not taken more than 300 American and 200 Surat.— The continued disputes between the manufacturers and operatives is the cause of the trade having purchased Yy sparingly. |The cotton market has been very abun- dantly supplied, but prices of oll descriptions are pretty ‘same as last Friday much th ry. —To-day’s demand for cotton has been limited, andthe sales emount to only 2600 bags, but prices are without change. The trade have been the sole buyers, with the oe of 200 American for export. Sept. 19.—To-day’s demand for cotton has been mode rate, and the sales amount ‘o only 3000 bags, all of which ave been taken by the trade, with the exception of 160 American taken for export. Livenroor Conn Mavxer, Srrt. 17.—The duty has a- gain advanced on foreign’ Wheat to 16s, on Rye to 10s. 6d. pér quarter, on flour to 9s. 74d per barrel ; upon colo- nial wheat to 3s, on rye to 186d per quarter, and on flour tols9d per barrel, with the prospect of these articles shortly attaining the highest rates payable from British Possessi jona. OfEnglish, Irish and foreign Grain, the arrivals into this pert within the last three days have been unusually small, and of flour, searcely more than about 4000 barrels from Canada and the United States. The anticipations indulged in a month ago, that, with weather for a few weeks, nearly the whole of the Corn crops of the United Kingdom would be placed ina state of perfect safety, have been closely realised; since, although interruptions have frem time to time taken place by means of occasional rains, the delays to harvesting have been ouly temporary; and, except in extremely late, and in cold, mountainous situations, we believe we toe the bulk of the Grain, throughout the country to be effec- tually secured, and, with scarcely an exception, in the best condition, ot the finest quality,and of a greater weight thad has been known for a number of years past. It is, however, still difficult to judge of the general yield to the acre. Of the principal article; Wheat, we believe from the reports we have received there will be a slight defi- ciency from a full average ; and of all other articles, ex- juotes ness. Conso! cept Beans, that there will bea good, if not abundant, acreable produce. The Corn trade has of late experienced little change, but, upon the whole, more firmness has been manifested by the holders of granaried stocks,which have now got into hands less necessitated to sell than the original a) the quantity upon the market having also diminished, and the expected rapid rise of duty to a int considered prohibitory to Ca saeciel were calcu- Matea upon, not only as sufficient protect prices from further depression, but to cause a moderate advance. This has to some extent taken place; but improvement of any moment in prices is very tardy, and, as far as can be fore- seen, we have no anticipation of otherwise than rates for some time forward. The best States Flour have realised 298 to 6d to 28s—superfine, 298 per barrel, Oatmeal is again rather cheper, say 228 to Ihe; Peas, 288 to 30s per quarte. 226 ¢d per 240 SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE, , Sept Arr Adirondack, NYork: G Washing- sah Virion’ fork, Aighamas NOrtewnss ne herman ie: Gen Vensie,do; lath, New York, Cropper, NYork; 16th, Bel- videre, Chafleston: 17th, Ac Ones.

The ‘ Merchanj” was injured conside- rably. The beach was strewed with wrecks, and almost every vessel suffered more orless. Ido not hear that any lives were lost. The damage is esti- mated at near $100,000. ‘The Merchant also brings accounts of the capture of St. Antonio by 1300 Mexicans under General Wall. So sudden was the surprise and capture, that most of the principal citizens were taken pri- soners—among them the Judge of the District Court —which was in session—and many of the lawyers. President Houstun had ordered the militia of the neighboring counties to march on San Antonio ; if the Mexicans retreated to pursue them to the Rio Grande. Texas is in a poor situation for a campaign, and I fear for her. Nothing new here of a local nature.

In prices there was, however, no apparent vai tion. Manhattan Gas fell 1} per cent ; United States Bank notes were in demand at 50 cents. It was reported in the street to-day, by a gentleman of high authority direct from Washington, that a large por- tion of the United States loan had been taken. The amount and terms did not however transpire. The information was from the highest authority. ‘The bills of the Phonix Bank of Charlestown, Mass., have been thrown out by the Suffolk Bank. The Phenix made the following announcement :— “On examination, the directors find it necessary to close the bank until the Bank Commissioners have examined the state of affairs. Measures will be taken to secure bill- holders and depositors.” ‘The capital of this concern is $300,000, and at its Inst return had a circulation of $97,115, deposites 124,762, dis- counts $431,021, specie $14,386. It is stated in the Peoria (IMinois) Re ster that one half of the taxes of that county were paid in, during the three a nd a half previous to the 12th, in notes of the State Bank of Illinois. A great portion of the residue will be paid in Shawneetown paper. In Tze well county, about the same proportion was received. In Knox county, the collector, though his books were ready, refused to receive State Bank. Shawneetown money passes at the stores in Peoria at from 60 to 62h cents. State Bank is refused at any price. The particulars, as far as we ) the depth of two to four or five feet.

The canals are all completed, with the exception of Miami extension canal, which it is estimated will require about $1,300,000. The Ohio canal, which is the first and principal work of the state, cost $4,690,000, and now pays more than seven per cent interest on its cost of con- | struction,after deducting its annwal repairs and expenses. | The aggregate of interest due annually on the state | debt, is about $900,000, ‘The interest is paid annually in | the City of New York. Before the first loan was made by the State of Ohio in the year 1925, the Legislature made | the following provision for the payment of the interest | and the eventual payment ofthe debt of the state, viz :— | All the revenue of the public works, after paying the expenses ard repairs of the same, to be applied to the in- terest fund. A tax sufficient to supply the deficiency to be levied and paid in each year. The auditor of the state is directed to increase this tax from year to year as he may find it necessary for the purpose above named—He is further directed 'o levy an additional tax, to be applied to the sinking fund, created for the payment of the debt of the state, which now amounts to near $1,700,000. ‘Under this law the interest has always been provided for, and the debt of the state has never been increased by borrowing for the purpose of paying interest. ‘The revenue from the canals the present year will ex- ceed in amount that of previous years, and will (with the tolls of the Wabash and Erie Canals just finished,) next year greatly exceed that of the present year. : It will be perceived that the State of Ohio has made more ample provision for the regular payment of interest on its debt than any other state. Taxation for the pay- ment of the state debt 1s no new thing there—it has existed for years. The state has by law stopped the expenditure of any more money on the public works. The Miami Canal isto remain unfinished, unless it can be completed by the sale of the lands given by the United States towards its con- struction. These lands are very valuable, and will, even at the present low prices of property, pay for the comple- tion of the work. The payment for interest on the public debt of Ohio, is probably placed beyond all controversy or doubt. For the January interest, a considerable portion has already been received by the States’ agent in this city, who is also in the daily receipt of remittances. It is stated that in consequence of the other resources of the State, the funds for the dividend draw far less than in usual years upon the tax fund. ‘The new tariff has now been in operation several weeks, and in that time, according to a table which we recently compiled and published, the prices of dutiable articles in Boston and New York have considerably advanced, as was to have been expected. Considering the country,as it really is,agricultural in its interests, those are the articles which are to be taken in payment of the products of agri- culture, and it wes apparent in that table the prices had improved, or in other words, by the operation of the gw, farmers are to get less for their produce than before that law, enacted against the interests of a vast: of the people, was procured by persuading the Ghat they were to get more for their produce thar ly, To test this operation, we now compile a table of the actual prices of agricultural produce in three leading markets, for the first week im August, when it was sup- posed that the tariff would not pass, and at a period three weeks subsequent to the operation of that tariff, as fol- lows:— Prices or Leapine Acricuttura Provucts August 10, AND Serr. 24, 1842.

The ar- ticle of flour has fallen twenty per cent at all the points, and other articles in the same proportion, and this precise- ly at that season of the year when, if ever, prices should rise, from the fact that it is then thet the old crops are supposed to be nearly exhansted, and the new not made its appearance. At New Orleans, independently of cot- ton, there were last year received in value amounting to $21,316,045, of which the articles of four, pork and lard constituted $5,000,000. The same quantity of the same articles now would bring but $4,000,000. This fell, at this season, has not been brought about so much by the greatness of the immediate supply as by the prospect of a stoppage of all foreign vent. The operation then has been to put up itnports and put down exports; and its ope- rati»ns upon the farmer may be illustrated as follows :— Before the passage of the tariff, 100 tons old sable iron cost $8,900, which was equivalent to 1,450 bbls of flour, at the then rate, viz. $6. The same quantity of iron now costs $9,600, which is equivalent to 2,133 bbls of flour, at the presertt rate of $4,50. The farmer, then, in order that the iron master may be protected, is now obliged to give 683 bbls more of flour for the same quantity of iron than he did six weeks since. What benefit he is to derive from this operation it is difficult to understend, but perhaps by some of the “magic influences” of high duties, he may be getting rich by the operation.
