NEW YORK HERALD. = cuanmcnauaapten- a aaeeeY New York, Thursday, October 6, 1842. The English News—Foreign Opinions on the Treaty with England. The news from Europe, brought to Bostoa on the day before yesterday, by the Columbia steamer, very curious, very amusing, very interesting, ve!) droll, and very important, at least in one respect We do not allude to the sea-sicknces of Victoria 10 ging to, or coming from, Scotland—aer to the qualins of the stomach felt by Prince Albert—nor to the quantity of pap eat by the Prince of Wales— nor to the teething of the Princess of Wales— nor to Charles Dickens’ “Notes for circulation on Ame~ rica”—~—nor to Sir Robert Peel’s as assination by Benjamin—nor to the cora laws with the sliding ls, including Fanny Elssler.— scale—nor to theat To none of these co weallude. Whatthen? It is to the opinions of the London and Paris newspaper press ou the recent treaty negotiated by Lord Ash- burton and Black Dan Webster. The London press, of both parties, find great fault with this treaty, and are particularly lavish of very uncomplimentary remarks oa Lord Ashburton for effecting its negotiation. There are a few sen- sible exceptions to this tone, particularly in the commercial prints—but the regular John Bull news- papers seem to say—‘* How could we expect any- thing else?” “ Sending over an old woman in the shape of a lord to contend in diplomacy with a live Yankee, was folly in the extreme”—Brother Jona- than had already wheedled John Bull out of $100,009,000 in loans—and now long legs has got out of our old chap as many acres in Maine.” In Paris, a large portivn of the press, the war party portion, are equally angry that a treaty has been made at all—but especially on the clause pro- viding for a mutual right of search in suppressing the slave trade. All General Cass’s efforts have been upset like fat in the fire. These opinions, however, in both England and France, donot pervade the sensible, practical, or commercial classes. They seem to be very well satisfied with the treaty, and anticipate much good from the permanent setiement of difficulties. It is curious, however, to observe, that the ultras on both sides of the Atlantic, have looked upon the treaty with the same hostility, although from ex- actly opposite points of view. In the United States, the enemies of the present administration abuse the treaty because the English, as they allege, have all the advantages—in England, the opposition at- tack it because, as they allege, the Yankees have all the upper hand. Attacks on a treaty from such quarters, would seem to indicate that the treaty is pretty near the mark—and so do the sensible portion of people on both sides of the Atlantic think too. In short, John ‘Tyler and Daniel Webster, have eflected the negotiation of a pretty fair treaty, that Adams, Jackson, Monroe, Clay, and a score of great men, never heretofore could accomplish That’s the truth. Mr. Wensrenr’s kECH IN Wasuineto.—The three newspapers in Washington treat Webster's speech veryamusingly. The National Intelligencer is quite savage, and attacks Mr. Webster with all the fierceness of a poodle dog who fears losing his bow! of sweet milk. We never thought there was such a quantity of brimstone in Silky, Milky & Co.; but the softest cream will sour in a hot sun, The Madisonian, including John Jones and the ‘Cor- poral’s guard,” seem to be in a perfect quandary— think Webster's speech great—afraid to say much of it—praises the President’s vetoes--deems Mr. Webster's defence only his own case—wonders what all this means—appears to be in a perfect mist—do a’t know what to do—and then copies the speech as incorrectly reported by the Tribune. The Globe is in perfect ecstacies with the speech and Mr. Webster—considers it the greatest speech he ever made—talks of his great intellect and wonder- ful moral courage—believes that he has set up for himself—and that he is quite hostile to Clay, &c. Mr. Webster's speech is certainly producing a most wonderful sensation among politicians, news~ papers, whigs and locofocos. The whole country and both parties appear to be electrified—magne- tized—mesmerized—but whether for good or for evil,they hardly yet know. Mr. Webster, Mr. Web- ster, come to New York—deliver another speech, and give us all another delicious, cold, refreshing shower-bath of eloquence. Do come. Sri Mepicat InrEtuicence.—The two medical schools in this city, are making great preparations for the approaching session. The old College of Physi- cians and Surgeons, emboldened by the remarka- ble success with which they met last year, will open the campaign with great vigor. In the Stuyvesant school under the management of Dr. Mott and Dr. Pattison, the din of preparation is also heard, and these gentlemen are bringing into active operation all the sagacity and sound sense which they possess. The Crosby street school have now, we have heard, about fifty students entered,—the Stuyvesant school according to their own account have sixty, but making the proper allowance for the gasconading faculty of Dr. Pattison and his colleague, both schools may be fairly stated to be on a par as to the number of students already matriculated. Both thus start equally matched in this particular. It was unlucky, however, that rejection of the stu- dents atthe Navy Board! «By the by, the Stuyvesant p-ople have made a very novel and extraordinary movement for the ad- vancement of medicine. We allude to their calling in the aid of anothe; profession, and seeking to promote surgery and physic by a law suit. It would appear that the Stuyvesant gentlemen, are thus determined to make the world believe that they are far superior to the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and that all who allude to the fact of the rejection of their students at the Naval Board, must do itat the peril of twenty-five thousand dol- lars damages. Assuredly, to use their own words, “ this is a thing without precedent among colleges.” We will see how it works. In a few weeks, the lectures will commence in both schools ; we will send reporters to both, and keep the public fully informed ef their progress. Latest Bank Losion.—The failure of the Phesix Bank, at Charlestown, within sight of Bunker Hill and Boston, isthe latest piece of bank roguery during this month By this explosion, a great many por people, ef- ficers in the navy, mechanics, and others have been plundered of their property. A small clique of the directors had taken the capital by way of loan, and lived on it for years. This is only the old story. Not a bank has exploded in the land, that ithas not been produced by the rascality of directors and their friends. In fact, the financial classes for years, with some few exceptions, have been plundering the banks—eating up the property of the widow and ore phan—living in the most luxurious style—and yet escape the State prison which their crimes so justly merit. A petty thief, who steals twenty-five dollars is caught, indicted and punished in a month—a mag- nificent thief who steals $50,000 or $500,000 is con- sidered a gentleman, a respectable man, and so es- capes punishment. How long will such things cry to heaven for vengeance ? Tae Watt Srreer ConeressronaL Disrrict.— There will be a great fight among the whigs for the nomination in theirdistrict. We understand tha; John C. Hamilton has the best chance. It is said he has secured a majority of the committee—and that the thing was cut and dried before the ward meetings took place. That's all right. Ominous.—At the recent whig primary meetings, some very ugly quarrels and splits took place. Jt seems also that the merchants as a body, very gene. rally approve the views and sentiments of Mr. Web. eter, and, in consequence thereof, will go to the very sparingly at the coming election. We'll (> New Orleans is now free from yellow fever. Tur Races—Union Course, L, 1—For the three mile heats yesterday morning, William Jones enter- ed his bay horse Treasurer, and Samuel Laird, brown horse Mariner. The purse was $500—$100 to the second best horse. r Mariner was the favorite previous to the start by odds, First heat.—Mariner took the lead, and kept it, | from one to two lengths ahead, for the first mile, | which was run slowin 2m. 09s. On the second | mile he widened the gap to four lengths before reaching the halt mile post, and held it to the Judges’ stand, still going slow—the second mile in 1m. 56s, On the third and last mile there was con- siderable excitement, as the running in the other two had been too slow to last. Marinerkept the lead about a length until they passed the first quarter post, when Treasurer’s rider began to move him, and on making a brush at the half mile post, passed his opponent about a neck, both going at a killing pace. He held his advantage, adding a little to it as they came near the last quarter, when Mariner made a desperate struggle to get the lead, but could not come it, and Treasurer won the heat by about a length only. Time of last mile 1 m. 50s. Whole \ heat 5m. 554 s. The horses cooled off well, Treasurer being a little too soft, but otherwise in excellent condition, and at the sound of the bugle all were ready for the Second Heat.—The betting had now changea, and ran about even on the result. Mariner took the lead from the start, and kept about a length ahead, both going at a moderate pace, and passing over the first miuesn4m. 57s. On the first quarter of the se- cord mile they began to increase their speed, Mari- ner going nearly his best, and kept in about the same position, doing itin Im. 55s. Un the third and last mile, Mariner was on the lead full two lengths as they came near the half mile post, whea Trea- surer made a brush to win the heat, but did not suc- ceed in passing him at the first effort. As they came down the last quarter bets were made both ways on the winner of the heat, and it was difficult to see which was the foremost. Both were whip- ping to the top, and not until their noses were at the scratch was it ascertained that Treasurer had won the heat and the purse by only about halt his length. Time of last mile Im. 54s. Whole heat 5m. 46s. Mariner won the three mile purse at Trenton last week, beating Truxton and Diana Syntax, and dis tancing Charlotte Cushman. Time 5.53, 5.47, 5.52. This is the first purse won by Treasurer since his race with Andrewetta, on thiscourse, in 1840, when he wen the three mile purse in one heat—time 5m 42s.—the best ever made in this country, we be lieve. The star of Major Jones is in the ascendant after a long reverse. Szconp Race.—The second race was for mile heats, purse of $50, with $10 entrance to be added. Charles S. Lloyd, entered chesnat horse Red- gauntlet; H. A. Conover, serrel horse Miracle, and 'l. Porter, brown mare Prima Donna. The latter was the favorite, and won the heat in Im. 514s.; Miracle coming in second and lapping her, while Red Gauntlet was half a distance in the rear. Second Heat.—Red Gauntlet was withdrawn, and Prima Donna and Miracle started for the heat, which was well contested, and won by the latter by a length, in Im. 54s. The only entry for the four mile heats to-day, is that of Fashion, who will take the purse by gallop- ing around the course at one o’clock. There wil theretore, be no race. For the mile heats, purse $50, with $10 entrance to be added, Charles S. Lloyd entered brown colt ‘full brother to Horn- blower, three years old, but as there was no other entries, no race will come off. It is contemplated to have a second fall meeting over the course, if either Fashion and Bosten, or Blue Dick, can be induced to enter for a four mile purse. Court of Oyer and Terminer. Before Judge Kent ond Aldermen Underwood and Kelly. Wepnrspay, Oct. 5, 1842.—Trial of Richard Knobbs, Sor the murder of James Price.—'l ‘usoner whe is about 25 or 30 years of age, was brought into court about hulf past ten, in custody ‘of officers Lyon, Barber and F. F Smith. ‘He appeared to be exceedingly feeble, the effects of long confinement and illness, produced by his attempt at suicide immediately subsequent tothe murder. Messrs. Craft, Bradley and Hickett, appeared as bis counsel, and the District Attorney on the part of the prosecution. The names of the jurors were called, but a sufficient number not being in attendance, the Sheriff was directed to summon four taliemen from the body of the county. Some little delay occurred, when the prisoner was placed at the bar, a jury empannelled, and the trial proceeded in, The Clerk read the indictment, and the District Attor- ney, after stating the charge to the jury, said he believed a plea of insanity would be set up in extenuation. If the jury found, from the evidence, that the prisoner really was insane at the time of committing the murder, they would acquit him, as the laws neither of God or man punished an individual for an act committed when reason had deserted its throne. Epwaup Monrcan sworn—Am 8 blacksmith, now resid: ing in Mulberry street—resided on the 13th May last, with my mother, who kept a boarding house, at 71 Cherry st. Knew the deceased child. He was named James Price, be- tween 2 and 3 years of age. His father put up at the house, having this little boy with him—the mother of the child was not there, being sick in the hospital at Staten Island. They had been at the house about ninedays. On the even- ing previous to the murder the prisoner came to the house with two other persons, slept and took breakfast there. About nine in the worning, | accompanied the others to the ship in which they came (she was from Bristol, and not the same that Price had come in;) prisoner did wot go, he being sick in bed. We returned abouttwo, and found prisoner still in bed. We went to his room and told him ‘is watch was notin his box. He said it could not be for he had given it away the day before. The men and my- self then went down ‘a, leaving him alone and in bed. ‘There were no children in the room, About five minutes afterwards T went up stairs again to see my nephew, who was sick in the room adjoining to that of Knobbs. As I passed along] asked Knobbs how he was, and he replied that he was getting better. After being in my nephew's room about five minutes, talking to my sister, I heard my mother halloing from below to my little niece to tell me to fe into prisoner’s room, that something was there. The tle girl came up and Iran into the room; I saw the little boy lying alongside the bedstead on the floor, the child’s head towards the head of the bed. I cacght the child up —saw it was cut across the throat, and still struggling, though it could not speak. The blood was thick where itlay. Put it down again. Saw the prisoner lying on the bed, his face down and his hands extended over his head. There was blood on the pillow. Went to the door, and cried murder, as lcud as 1 could, then ran down stairs The child and its father slept in the same room with pri- soner, in another bed. Had not seen the child when I went up, nor did I hear any scream from it. I ran into the street and called the bg esi pepe fifty ran up stairs, and I followed them. My mother was going towards prisoner's door, but Isaw him standing up with a knife in his hand, and dragged her away. None of us dared to go into the risoner’s room,as he hada knife. He came with it to the joor, and we ali ran down stairs, but soon rushed up again when he had gone back. People were afraid to go [a filla seaman nai William Brown took a piece of Loard in his hend and went into the room, when others followed. The be still lay as I left it. It was taken up dead, and put on a cot. Axx Moncax sworn—Kept the house 71 Cherry street. On Friday evening the prisoner and two of his soqueint- ances, came to board. He took his supper and soon went to bed, complaining that he did not feel very well. Hedid not say what was the matter with him, but appeared sensi- ble enough The next morning he went out with his friends and took a walk, returning to breakfast. asked him how he was, and he replied “a little better.” He rose from the breaktast table and went into the yard—something came over him and he fell down. His two friends and Mr. Price (/ather of the child) took him up and carried him up stairs to bed. I went up soon afterwards and asked him how he was. He replied that he was very sick. One of his friends went for a doctor, who returned with him. The doctor, after seeing prisoner, came down and told me to ES him some lemonade after the stuff he had been giving im Went up and asked the prisoner how he ee ie re- plied that he felt poorly. I saw no more of him till my lit- tlegrand-daughter, who is about twelve years of age, came running down and said that the man was killing little Jem, and that he was full of blood. Itold her to poke the next room andtell my son. My son went in andsoon came run- ning down stairs likesome person out of his mind, crying “murder, murder, murder.” ‘They told me not to venture up. I went in sight of the door, and saw the man standin with the knife in and, flourishing it from one side to the other, and looking very wild. He did not say any- thing. Ihe prisoner came from Monmouth, in South Whales—I know the place. Wiiuan Brown sworn—Am 27 years of age,and follow th sea. Saw some persons in front of 71 Cherry street on dayjin question, and asked what was the matter. They saida man had killed a child. I askedif they had se- cured the man.?They said “‘ no, they did not like to go up, he hada large knife.” I said « well, I will up.” Pndy said “ you better not.” 1 went up, looked into the room, and saw the child on the floor on its back, but could not see any thing of the man. Twent in cautiously, lest he should surprise me, and saw him lying on the bed, which was at the side of the room, behind the door. He was ly- ing. about thwart hawser. He hada knife in his hand, which Jay down besidehim. There was a window in the back partof his room, which he appeared to be lookin Muck excitement exists relative io the meeting at Camden on Saturday the 29th inst. It is supposed that Fashion and Blue Dick, or Boston, will cer- tainly meet there, and as the second named horse has recently made some splendid performances over the mountains inVirginia,calculations are inaking by those who go the odds, to fill their wallets on’ the result. There is no doubt that he is a better match for the ‘top of the turf” than old “ White Nose,” and if they meet, this opinion will be confessed by the result. There is no break down in Blue Dick —he is a perfect pealer in speed and bottom, and will drive Fashion to her work whenever they come together. The notion, for such we must call it, that Boston and Blue Dick will both be entered against Fashion is without foundation, as it is understood the two former are both in Col. Johnson’s stable. Tue Duet Ixpicrment.—T ie Courier & Enquirer has some very amusing remarks on the recent indict- ment forthe duel in which Tom Marshall figured so largely. The Courier gives a variety of reasons that did not cause the indictment, and then winds up with the intimation that it wasmade from the circum- stance that certain locofocos and abolitionists were on the Grand Jury. We can give a better reason for the finding. We always supposed that indictment was found in consequence of two men going out and firing at each other with loaded pistols—and trying to mur- der each other with bullets, but came of with a ball in the leg of one of the parties. If that event had not taken place, all the locofocos and abolition- ists in the world could not have found the indict- ment. As well might the Courier attribute such a finding to the cut of the breeches worn by the Grand Jury. We should think “Col. Webb of the regular army” would indicate more policy to submit to his fate, instead of insulting the Grand Jury or the feelings of the public by such articles. The day to settle accounts with the pugilist and duellist has come—and they must meet it. ‘Tue Sream Sup Barrrisu Qusen will sail to-mor- row for Southampton and Antwerp. She hasa fine number of passengers engaged. Packer Suir Westcnester.—By the energy of Capt. Ferris, this ship, which has been thirty-five days ashore, was assisted off yesterday morning, and towed to the city by the powerful tug boat Mutual Safety, Capt. Davis. She was +o long on the beach that we do not believe she is worth much now— scarcely worth repairing. Seldom, if ever, however, hasa vessel been saved under the same circumstances that this one has been, Game Laws.—The Board of Aldermen last eve- ning passed an ordinance prohibiting the sale of par tridge or quail until after the 25th of October. Hucksters will therefore look out. Tue News rrom Texas.—The news we published yesterday is confirmed. Mexico has actually com menced hostilities upon Texas.

Ruope Istaxn.—Another outbreak is expected here shortly. Groreta Exections.—We have no returns yet from this State. Ninto’s.—This charming resort still continues its successful career. Mons. Ferin had a great saloon last evening. To-night two comic pantomimes! M. Dechalumeau, and the last representation but | one of the Green Monster! Mise Wells also gives \ one of her popular dances. This young lady is destined to a high place in her brilliant art. The rest Oboe in the country, Signor de Ribas, has a ‘nefit on Saturday ; let all the musical world look | i on the occasion. out of. When he saw me he dropped the knife, which immediately secured, and took hold of him, but he seem- ed to take very little'notice. Tasked him what made him do this. He saiahe did not know. If asked him what animosity he bore towards the child’s father. He none. ere was asmall line inthe chair, with which we tied his hands, and an officer was sent for and he given into custody. Before his being taken away some one said that they would hang him. He replied it was all they could do, and he deserved it. His own throat was cut at the time.’ His shirt was bloody, andthe blood ran down upon the bed. It must have been cut sometime, as the blood was running down. His throat was cut very badly. The knife wasa table knife, and was taken care of. 1 seemed to have been sharpened on a very coarse stone, as the edge was rough and ragged. A lady (a relative of Mrs. M.) testified to the prisoner having fainted in the yard that morning. She frequently shut his bed-room door after he had been carried up stars, bittit would be opened by some one again. Saw the child ten minutes before it was killed. A little girl, five years old, that was with him, said that Kuobbs took hold of him by the arm, and pulled him into the room. Joux Price sworn.—Saw the prisoner at the breakfast table. ‘He eat very litte, He complained of being unwell, and went into the yard, where he fell, apparently in a fainting fit—his eyes were open, but he was insensible. We took him to bed. I asked him afterwards how he was, and he said very bad, he thought he would soon be adead man. He complained ofhaving chills and pains all over him. When I went out my little child was in the bar room. Do not know that the prisoner had any animosity towards me. I did not know him previous to hig coming tothehouse. Do not know how the child got into his Toom,as I was out at the time. Dr. Unpeauitt sworn.—Was called on the Saturday morning to see Knobbs. Found that he had considerable fever on him of the typhoid character; gave him a few jins of calomel, and recommended that he be sent to the Ronit ‘The fever is ofthat kind that might produce au insanity, which a loss of blood (as in the present case) might as suddenly allay. “He complained of Revin been sick on board the vessel, and that the Captaip ad- ministered to him. The Coroner testified to the prisoner having much fever and being very low on the holding of the inquest. The cut on his throat was much extended, but not deep or dangerous. His sickness was of that kind that could have created sudden insanity. The District Attorney here rested. An appeal fwas Ir.

Ocr. 5.—Trial for Burglary.—John Jackson, a negro, was tried on an indictment for burglary in the first degree, in breaking into the dwelling and store of Charles F. Bell, 94 Bowery, on the night of the 3d of September last. The prisoner had bored five holes in the rear window shutters,{but had not effected anentrance, when he was discovered by some of the inmates of the house, who su « ceeded in arresting him after a sharp chase. The jury found him guilty of an attempt to commit burglary in the first degree, and he was sentenced to the State Prison for five years by the court. Trial for Stabbing —A black Amazon named Jane Cheeseborough was tried for an assault and battery on a rs ie woman named Elizabeth Lewis, on the 26th of July last. The parties had a dispute in Church street, when the prisoner drew a knife, and inflicted a wound on the forehead of the complainant. : ‘The Jury found the prisoner guilty, and ake was sen- tenced to the Island for two months. __ Trial for Burglary.—James Lennox,a Five Point ranger, impleaded with James Mehan, Adolphus W.

Avoirnus W. Stewanr,a lad of 12 years of age, swore that he went to the sto Green & Conklin abont two o'clock on the morning of the 10th, with the prisoner and Mehan, but Brogan was not with them. They shoved him through the small window over the door, which was par'ly open, and he passed out the coats, which were tke byt em to Grace's. e Jury found the prisoner guilty of burglary in the third degree, the proof of the an peng cecupied on dwelling not being deemed sufficient, and the Court sen- tenced him to the State Prison for two years, the Jury having recommended him to mercy. ‘A noile prosequi was then entered in the case of Brogan, there being no testimony against him, and the witness, eo was discharged with an admonition from the ‘ourt.

BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL, = ee ae [Correspondence of the Herald.} Pau.apetrnia, Oct. 5, 1842. James Gorvon Bennett, Esq. Dear Sin :— Another delightfully clear, cool day, to-day. One of our financiers—Thomas S. Nicholson— about whom you have heard so much during the last two or three years, is to go to the penitentiary. Yes, he is positively to be sentenced next Saturday. Reason—his money has given out, This rascal Nicholson, you will recollect, was clerk to Hewitt, the sugar refiner. By a series of forged entries in his master’s books, he contrived to swindle him out of $30,000. This money—or at least the greater part of it he invested in a splendid mansion at the cornerof Tenth and Shippen streets—a residence built after some rather ideas as to architecture, and preposterous notions as to tuaegerdingys &c. The property, in consequence, now could scarcely be sold for a sous. Aight ay ainst Nicholson was commenced in the winter of 1839. Since then he has constantly kept in his employ the big guns of the Philadelphia bar, and has paid them liberally. They kept his case out of court for about two years or upwards. It finally came to trial in the General Sessions, and the rogue was convict- ed, and locked up in Moyamensing. . Motion in ar- rest of judgment, and for a new trial was made. Judge Barton, who was originally the prosecuting counsel in the case, refused to take any part in it. Judge Conrad and Doran heard the motion for new trial, and dismissed it. The motion in arrest of judgment was dismissed by Conrad, but sustained by Doran, who overruled some twenty or thirty de- cisions of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. The defendant could not be eentenced. Prior to Judge Doran’s decision, he had been admitted to bail, it having been the opinion of his physicians that if he staid another day in prison, he would die of an en- largement of the heart. Justice was thus com- pletely bafiled. nee Barton—to_ the everlast- ing credit of his honor, be it oken—be- tween a feeling of delicacy and a regard for the su- premacy of the outraged faws of this community, after listening for days tolan argument of counse! against the proceeding came into the case and thus prevented the escape of the criminal. The Judge’s decision was announced, verbally from the bench, this morning, when the defendant was immediate- ly ordered into the custody of the Sheriff. _ A large mass meeting of the whigs of the city and county 1s to be held in front of the State House this evening, at which the Hon. John Sergeant is to preside. This is for the purpose of stirring up the dormant energies of the party and screwing their courage to the sticking place for the election on ‘Luesday next. Great preparations are making by the office-holders, to make it equal in numbers to the one held by the Democrats last week. Ata mass meeting of the Democrats, in South- wark, on Monday evening, a large body of Harrison and ‘Tyler whigs—and some Clay whigs—headed by James Gregory, the late coroner, one of the strong- est fighters under the Harrison flag, here, in 1810— came forward aud joined the Democratic ranks. Mr. Gregory said, that he had for twenty years been battling forthe whig party—that he had at lastseen the error of his ways—that he had heartily repented, and that he was now determined to join and stick to the true faith.

Now the picture is woree than reversed. A really respectable citizen can hardly be brought to acknowledge any connection with the department, which at this time is largely- composed of a set of the veriest cut-throat ruffians that ever went un- hung. These precious villians have, within the last few months committed outrages of the most dis- graceful, de; raping brutal, infamous—and even 1n- cendiary and murderous character. _The peace of the city has been almost nightly disturbed—quiet and good order laughed at—the police disregarded (the election being near at hand, the police from the sheriff down, have lately cautiously kept them- selves out of the way—the torch has constant- ly been applied to buildings; hardly a day passes without the burning of a stable, carpenter shop, or some similar building—property wantonly destroy- ed in the melees between the different companies— the Sabbath has been profaned—and indeed, man. the Almighty, and verily Satan himself, defied.

We have again ten days later intelligence from England. Nothing of consequence had occurred in the commercial world during that period. The strong position of the Bank and the low rate of money was very gradually pro- ducing a little improvement intrade. The returns of the Bank to the 10th Sept. as compared with the previous re- turns were as follows :— Bank or ENGianp. 10. Aug. 13. Ine. s s. 18,952,000 9,330, 503,000, 21,525,000 000 et 681,000 ‘The quarterly comparison is as follow: cf July 16. 18,279,000 8,565,000 21,713'000 1,446.00 7,818,000 1,399,000 The increase in the securities shown by the above may be accounted for by the recent reduction in the rates of interest for loans, which will also account for the almost identical increase in the circulation exhibited by the quarterly comparison. The increase in the deposits is oc- casioned by the abundance of floating capital and the ab- sence of demand for commercial purposes, even at the very low rates of interest which money at present can command, The yearly comparison is as follows :— Sentember. September. 1842 1841. , Inc. Dee. Circulation, 19,714,000 17,481,000 2,233,000 = Deposit 9,833,000 8,052,000 1,781,000 — Srensities, 23,159,000 23,567,000 — 408,000 Bulliva 9,177,000 4,975,000 4,202,000 _ This gives an increase of nearly 16 per cent in the vol- ume of the Bank currency at this period over that of last year. Thishas produced the very low rates of inter.st, being 2} to 2} per cent, for the best commercial paper. A further increase of thecirculating medium may be brought about by the payment of the approaching dividends. At the same time there was an evident increase in the demand for money for accommodation, but the money market pre- sents the anomaly that the glut of money and low rate of interest has for the first time failed in giving rise to specu- lations,or having any visible effect on the value of commo- dities, It can scarcely be doubted that the existing state of the circulation, and the position of the Bank, furnish irrefragable evidence that the profits on production have so declined, that there is not sufficient inducement for the investment of capital, even at the low rate to which the value of money has declined. ‘The abundance of money is not confined to London only ; we perceive that in Paris the rate of discount on Bonds de Tresor has fallen to3 per cent, which has seldom or never been so low before. At Hamburg and Amsterdam the rate of interest is very low. Many failures continue to occur, growing mostly out of the great fall in bread stuffs. We notice the stoppage of R. Reberts of Manchester. He wi indebted to the Bank of Manchester £64,000. Also Lu- bienski & Co. of Dentzio, one of the largest corn dealers ofthe Baltic. Their liabilities amount to £100,000. The papers are mostly taken up with the late United States tariff law, and are unanimous in its condemnation. A London paper announces as follows :— “There is thus every temptation offered to speculation, if not to induce a revival of trade; but the nature of the American tariff, which is almost prohibitory ofour coarse woven goods, must tend to check any general spirit of re- turning confidence in our producers, and makes the ap- pearance of the autumn trade very cheerless.” Another takes the following view :— “But as things stand at present, it will only have the ef- fect ofpreventing avy revival of tho direct trade with New York; as the Western States will undoubtedly find it more profitable to take their future supplies of fig: from u the contrabandists via Canada, who will have a large mar- gin to pay insurance against risk of capture by the fron- ier Custom officers. Instead of doubling the revenue, as they calculate, we doubt whether they will obtain any increase over the last year’s returns in consequence of this il judged augmentation of duties.” Notwithstending the abundance of money, there was actually no improvement in the state of American credit. The London Globe, however, states as follows :— “We may now expect that the commercial prosperit of America will revive and exercise a favoral Fj tnence in this coun'ry. Although no very important improve- ment has yet shown itself, yet there is a better feeling in some of the American stocks, which is a feature of con- siderable importance to a large portion of our country. meu.’ Itas very probable, that after Lord Ashburton shall have arrived out, and from personal knowledge have put the matter of State and Government credit ina proper point of view before the large capitalists seeking for in- vestment, that much of the discredit will be removed. A great deal ofthe opposition heretofore manifested against the stock ofthe Federal Government has arisen from ade- sire, by making it a participant in discredit attending State defalcations, to compel it todo something to assist them. Lord Ashburton can, however, explain the utter impossi- bility of such an event. No matter into what form the present debt may be converted, it is after all & debt due by the same people, and must be paid by taxation in some form. The shortest and cheapest way to do it is for each State to tax its own citizens for its own debts. If the fede- ral government was in high credit, with a revenue equal to its expenditures, and could borrow money in the mar- kets of the world, it might with some effect extend a help- ing hand to some of the most delinquent States. Hence the foreign capitalists in their blind clamor against ail American credits, defeat the very object they endeavor to gain, Money is undoubtedly very abundant in the Lon- don market; so much so, that large sums are lying idle which cannot find employment even at the low rate of 24 per cent. It is therefore reasonable to suppose that the present small sums wanted by the United States will be privately and speedily taken up by the wealthy connec- tions of the special minister. An undoubted security at 6 per cent. when money is worth but two, is a tempta- tion that might overeome pretty strong prejudices. The taking of the loan would extend temporary relief to our government and have a great influence in starting mer- cantile affairs from the sluggish condition into which they have fallen, but we do not look upon a renewal of Joans to this country as a thing by any means desirable. It might assist in bringing Congress to a more common sense view of the commercial intercourse between the two countries, and induce an amelioration of the present destructive tariff. ‘The news from abroad was looked upon in a favorable light, but produced no immediate effects upon the stock ex. change. The eales were, if possible, smaller than usual, without any definite change in prices. The State of Michigan, when it became a State, created. a loan for $100,000. Of this $66,000 was held by the Uni- ted States, and $34,000 by an individual—the interest on this sum has been paid by the State recently in State scrip worth 80 cents on the dollar, so that an individual claim- ing $100 of interest would get but $90. This is the bona fide debt ofthe State for which it got a full equivalent. ‘The Boston board of brokers have acted upon the case of Boorman, Johnston & Co. and the report of that board we hereto annex. First, however we would remark on the statement put forth by Boorman & Co. and by some considered as a valid excuse for their conduct, viz : that the Board of Brokers had no jurisdiction in the matter. It is weil known that the stock was purchased for Boorman of Little & Co., and the transaction recorded on the books ofthe board, In such cases it is not customary with the brokers to make any written contract—the record on the books is considered sufficient Messrs.
