They will create more before we get through them. Col. Beekman has just made a new liseovery among these remains—letters and docu- ments of the age of Charles II, and of George Li. State and Prospects of the Republic, We are ina very interesting crisis, in reference to polities, government, finance, trade, religion, mo rals and philosophy. ‘The elections now going on, are very pregnant.— According to those already passed, Mr. Clay, the whig candidate, was rather losing ground—but re- cently a little light looms up in his favor. New Jersey has gone forhim. Ohio begins to indicate a close contest—but if the whigs carry New York next month, Mr. Van Buren will be much damaged and Clay assisted asmuch. The great Croton cele- bration has lighted up an excitement in the public mind in favor of internal improvements—which joined to the sentiment ,along the Ene Rail Road region, and the Erie Canal district may give the whigs this State. If so, Mr. Clay’s chances will brighten, and there is then a chance that he may be elected in 1844 tothe Presidency. We shall then have an ‘old fashioned bank”—the proceeds of the public lands distributed to the States—a permanent protective tariff—and all similar measures. Finance is improving in its morals, and financiers are getting their deserts—some going to the States prison—others going to the devil. Trade is get- ting better, and daily assuming a more solid basis. Agriculture is also rising higher in public estimation —and morals generally seem te be advancing. Oxo Evecrions.—First Returns.—We have re- ceived a few returns from Ohio. Pomeroy & Co. gave them tous. This express line brought them from Cleveland ia the shortest time on record They are as follows :-— Maj. 1842. Maj. 1941 Mat. 1510. Counties. Dem. Whig. Dem. Whig. Dem.

Asit was so small last year, and as the democrats have gained 154 votes it three out of the seventy-nine counties in the State, it is fair to suppose that the election this year has been very closely contested. We shall, there- fore, look for more returns with some interest. Taearnicats in THE Unitep Stares.—The com? pany has been engaged at the Park to bring out ““Moses in Egypt,” very shortly, and consists of the following persons :—Mr. and Mrs. Seguin, Mrs. Bai- ley, Mrs. Knight, Mr. Pearson, Mr. Chewille, and Mr. Archer. Now, althongh some of these singers are very well in their own peculiar line, yet taken as acompany to play the best operas of the great masters, they are probably the most inefficient that we have hadfor a long time. They seem made up ot imbecilities—passé characte:s. And the only one of really superior taleat is Mr. Seguin himseif ; who has a fine voice, and is agood musician.— Therefore we do not think that the opera will suc- ceed at the Park, though our wishes are to the con- trary. Celeste’ssecond engagement at the Bowery has closed, and on the whole has been a pretty good one, although since the departure of Fanny Els sler it seems difficult to get up an excitement about dancing; and we shall probably have none until Cerito or Taglioni comes amongst us. Celeste’s great pantomimic powers, however, and superior acting will always draw crowds to see her. She opens at the Chesnut street on Monday, after which she plays a short engagement at Boston, then re- turns to this city, and leaves for England about the middle of November Mr. and Mrs. Brougham are nightly winning their way to fame and favor with the New York public. They have given a tone to threatricals at the Park that is of great value to that house; and in their line they are very superior actors—far before all other comeay actors in the country. Niblo, we presume, will soon close a brilliant and profitable season. ‘The Chatham has been doing a most capital busi- ness; and with the present enterprise, tact, and skill must continue to delight the audiences, and fill the treasury of the manager. In Boston, theatricals have taken quite a prospe- rous tara. Jones opened the season with Hill, fol- lowed by Rice, each of whom filled the theatre nightly. ‘These were followed by Forrest and Miss jlifton, who played quite'a long engagement, just closed, and who also filled the theatre. Celeste is engaged at this house, and she will attract full and fashionable houses every night of her performance. At the National, in Boston, Pelby and Blake have also done « first rate business since the opening. In short, theatricals are in a better state in Boston than they are here at present In Philadelphia, both Maywood and Miss Cush- man, at the Chesnut and Walnut, have been doing a very good businesssince the opening. Vandenhoff is now on there. Mr. and Mrs. Brougham will go there shortly. In other parts of the country, there is little or noth- ing doing in theatricals. Braham and his son are stillgiving their concerts in Canada with immense eclat, and great profit to themselves Mrs. Sutton gives a grand concert next week, in which her talented daughter makes a debut Nagel, Nourritt, and Mrs. Gibbs, are giving con- certs in Canada Antognini has left, or is about to leave, for Ha- vana Dempster is still giving his poplar ballad concerts nightly Browne has gone to England. still remains at the Park.

The fair still continues to be increasing in interest, and in the catalogue of articles exhibited. Even | on Friday, the day of the great celebration, the In- | stitute took in over $700 In the morning of the day the fair was visited in body by the pupils of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum We did not arrive at the garden in season to see them, but Mr. Holmes, one of the clerks of the Ln- slitute, says he conversed with one of them in writing as follows:— “* Where do you come from?” I came from the Institution ”* “* How many scholars came down?” ‘* 64 females and 82 maies.” " It was said they appeared to be highly delighted | with every thing excepting the music. . We shall now proceed to speak of some few ar- ticles specially interesting and deserving the atten- on of visitors. Youne Leecues.—Near the clerk’s desk in the loon, the visitur will see a vase of young attended by some of larger growth, whom we smppose to be their fathers and mothers, or they may be friends and acquaintances ; certainly they are grown up people. They look very curious and funny, we mean the little babies, some of them not more than half an inch long. They purport to be a vase of young leeches, with the capsules in which they are enclosed. It is said to be a first and suc- cessful experiment to breed, and acclimate the to- pt leech from the reservoir, which has been es- tablished on an extensive scale in the vicinity of New York, for two years last past, by John All ay ola & Co., No. 106 Bowery. ‘They are undoubtedly domestic manufactures, as we are assured they cannot be imported in their present state.

One of the pieces is made of goats hair and Saxony wool, and the other of wool alone. The Ashland beaver piece is the identical piece from which the Hon. Henry Clay had a piece cut off where- withal to make himself an overcoat. It looks as if it would protect a man from every thing but political Opposition. No. 169, is an American black figured shawl, ma- nutactured by Messrs. Duncans and Cunningha b of Bellville, N. J.; itis much admired as an elegant specimen of workmanship. ; .

Case and West—one in particular, a large centre piece for a window—very beautiful. — Macuine Room.—We intend at the earliest mo- ment, to give a full and accurate report of this room, or at least of such articles as are worthy of it. We saw to-day inthis room what we have not seen before, a new dynamometer, invented by C.F. James. As this is a machine newly introduced into the arts, and not yet perfected, we may say that it an instrument to measure the power necessary to move, draw, or drive any other machine, including ploughs, harrows, &c. This particular dynamome- ter, of which we are now speaking, has recently be- come the property of the American Institute, at an expense of about $500. And it isso constructed and arranged in the room, that by it, the force or power necessary te drive any one or more collectively, of the machines now exhibiting at the Fair, can be in- stantaneously ascertained. In the Horticuitural Room Mr. Thorburn’s dahlias have come out in an entire new dress, at the head of the room. It isa splendid frame-work of fresh dahlias, tastefully arranged in the form of a large diamond of aplasia atas on the top of which is a horizontal cross with stars at the extremities, sur- mounted with an inverted balloon of solid flowers. In the whole frame work there are about five hui dred dahlias. Thorburn and dahlias, dahlias and Thorburn. .

Latest from Canada, We have received the following important letter | from our Canada correspondent. It appears that there has been a prodigious excite ment produced in Canada by the measures of Sir Charles Bagot, who is accused of sacrificing the ‘ interests of the colony, in order to conciliate the Radical party. The Canada papers allege that the celebrated Edward Gibbon Wakefield is the Me- phistopheles of the new Cabinet, and they conse- | quently assail the Governor with a violence that is | perfectly unparalleled. Nothing can equal the fury | and bitterness with which the Canada editors have | come out against Sir Charles and his cabinet. They | have placed themselves at the very head of that de- partment of the profession ; and if they want any very superior newspaper blackguards in England, the Government will have to send to Canada to procure them; and when our stock in this country is ran out, we shall have Tto draw on that province fora supply. As it is, they beat us in blackguard- ism all hollow. We thought that we were pretty good hands at that in the United States, but the Canada knights of the quill throw us completely into the shade. [Correspondence of the Herald.} Parliament in Session—The Beauharnois Canal— Edward Gibbon Wakefield—The Loan Bil'— Wheat Bill, §. Kinaston, Oct. 10, 1842. James Gorvon Bennett, bsQ.— Deak Siz,— q The House of Parliament is yet in session, con- trary to the general expectation that it it would have been prorogued early Jast week. The delay was oc- casioned by the absence of the ‘one man power,” Hamilton H. Killaly, Ea President of the Board ot Works, or rather the Board of Works itself, whe was required by the committee appointed to inves- tigate the operations on the Beauharnois or St. Law- rence Canal, on which immense expenditures have been, and are in course of being made. As this transaction will give you a slight idea of the work. ing of our new responsible Government, I will en- deavor to furnisl you an account of it. An act was passed authorizing the construction of a canal to connect certain waters, without specification as 10 which side of the riverit was to be made; no ap- propriation was made for expenditures during the year 1842; the first was for 1848, it not being in- tended to commence operations before that time. The impatient energies of the Board of Works, however, ill brooked nets 9 The canal was commenced on the south side of the St. Lawrence, a loan of £20,000 having been effected through those interested on that side, and the work hgs since pro- gressed, all wondering where the funds were pro- cured, and many indignant at the selection of an in- ferior position for the canal. Many reasons were urged against it; the principal was, that the upper entrance afforded neither channel nor anchorage. The soundings were taken in the winter, through holes in the ice cut by the adjacent inhabitants, who were farniliar with the ‘*bass holes,” and who thought that if the canal were completed to that point, the Government would not leave it useless, Ba make an outlay (equal to the cost of the canal) for the formation of a harbor amd entrance. The engineer who surveyed the channel, now alleges that the water has fallen seven feet! the entrance is a complete shoal filled with rocks. Another objec- tion to the Jitu gers of canal, is its proximity to the United States, ina very accessible position in case of invasion; a third is, that the other side of the river would be the cheaper and most practica- ble; itis for the purpose of testing the validity of these objections the present committee has been appointed; and if found as stated, the work (involy- ing an expenditure of half a millien) will be staid, and some change will probably take place in the ministry, who imagined doubtless, when they made the unauthorized loan of £20,000, that the work would go quietly on until 1843, when they would be able to pay up the money and continue. It is said that Edward Gibbon Wakefield was the prime mover cf this mal-appropriation by the Board of Works; he being interested in property on the Beauharnois side ot the river How any man, or body of men, could suffer themselves to be led away by such a creature as he is, seems most unaccoun- table, and now, forsooth, we. are told that he isto ‘be appointed to the Executive Council. He is better fitted for the superintendence ofa penitentiary, having resided in Newgate during a term of years. Mr. Dunscombe, to whom I have already alluded, has resigned his seat in Parliament, to make room for “the great unhung,” The press throughout the John Barney of Baltimore, have arrived at the Astor House, from the Tremont House, Boston. Lord Spencer is a lineal descendant of the illustrious Duke of Marlborough, the present Duke being his first cousin. His younger brother is Bishop of Madras. It ishighly probable, that the beautiful frigate Spartan, commanded by the Hon. Captain Elliott, son of Lord Minto, (first Lord of the Admiralty) will come to New York to take the Bishop on to Bermuda, where he spends the winter. His Diocese embraces Newfoundland and Bermuda, and Queen Victoria places one of her crack frigates at his disposal. He purposes remaining in this country to assist in the consecration of the Bishop of Boston. In the mean time, the Hon John Barney and Dr. Wain. wright, are showing his Lordship the lions of the city. He seems greatly gratified with his visit here, and has expended a large sum in furnishing drawing rooms in each of his establishments at Bermuda and St. John’s with American made furniture ; in. the selection of which, he has displayed great taste He must by all means send for the frigate to come to New York. Mexico anv Texas —We have had no further in- telligence from Texas since the confirmation of the news thatthe Mexicans had taken possession of San Antonio; but the probability is, that by this time there has been a severe engagement between the armies of the two countries. The condition of things in Texas at present is very gloomy, and without doubt Mexico will have @ severe contest with that country, and probably gain many important advantages, and cause a sa- crifice of much blood and treasure on the part of Texas as well as himself, although we have no idea that he will permanently keep possession of any part of the country. It is true that San Antonio is a sort of mere out- post, which it was agreed should not be deiended after the terrible slaughter of the brave Travis and his men. But still the advantages at present seem all on the side of Mexico. There is not the same degree of sympathy felt in the United States that there was a year or two back. It seems to have been frittered away by their own foolish conduct. Add to this, Texas seems in a very disorganised state. Her army has been disbanded and scattered, and her navy is lying useless at New Orleans, un- able to move for want of funds. And at present Province express themselves very freely as to his character, and denounce his appointment to office as unparalleled and disgraceful. He has been de- scribed by Sir Robert Peel as follows:—‘* Nature has never sent such a monster before into the abodes of guilt.” And this is the man who leads the Go- vernor by the nose !—the man who effected the late changes inthe government, and now stands a can- didate for the high and responsible post of Execu- tive Counsellor! But I have devoted sufficient space to the discussion of his character, and will re- vert to one of his works. The committee on the Canal question have prepared their report, which will be presented to-day, and a tedious and lengthy discussion will doubtless take place as to the expe- diene} ibe onthe work. Both Houses have passed the bill authorizing the loan trom England of £1,500,000, to be applied to public works alone. The supplies for the present year, amounting to £100,000, have also been passed. Since I last addressed oo the east leader of the opposition, Mr. ldwin, has lost his election in favor of Mr. Murray, the Conserva- tive candidate. Much rioting took place at the election, and several persons were severely wounded—troops were sent up from Kingston to the place where it was held, the county of Hastings. Messrs. Lafontaine and Small, the newly appointed Attorney and Solicitor General, are far from sure of their return to Parliament tor the Ridings which have latterly sentthem. Under the new system of responsible government, it is necessary they should be returned to Parliament, or lose their situations. There will be little Core a however, in their obtaining seats, as some of the Lower Canadian members will resign in their favor. It will, how- ever, be adiminution of their numerical strength, of vast importance to the Conservatives. ‘The Wheat Bill has gone through both Houses, with a reservation for the approval of the Imperial Government. Some discussion took place as to the future seat of government of the Province. A vote of 40 to 20 was passed, praying its removal from Kingston—it will probably go to Mentreal. The same scene of confusion is witnessed in the Lower House ; and one who has seen it cannot for the future respect the laws enacted by that legislative corps. Yours, &c. H. Since receiving the above, we have received Kingston papers of the 12th instant, from which we learn that the session closed that day . In the Fourth Riding of York Mr. Lafontaine has been elected. On the first day’s poll for the Fourth Riding the vote stood—Small 89, Macauley, 39. ‘The following is the speech of Sir Charles Bagot on closing the session :— Honorable Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, and Gentlemen of the Legislatwwe Assembly : Although I anticipated, when I called you together, that your consideration might have been given at the pre- sent session t» such public business of importauce as seemed to require your early attention, yet I am induced by reasons of public convenience, and with a view to an early resumption of our joint labours, to put a close to the Texas seems almost utterly without the propermeans of defence. On the other hand, Mexico has a large army in the field, part in Texas as conquerors, and a large part just ready to enter it. Santa Anna has invaded Yucatan, taken Laguna and the the Yuca- tan navy, and intends to employ that in conjunction with his own recently augmented navy against the coast of Texas, and destroy all its shipping and com- merce This precarious state of things will render the next next news from Texas interesting. Since writing the above, we have received New Oaleans papers of Oct. 7th. They give the follow- ing additional news, received by the schooner Do- rice, inten days from Tampico. News had reached Tampico that the Mexicans had captured all crafis belonging to the Yucatanos, thereby destroying all their commerce. It was also announced that Santa Anna had proclaimed Vera Cruz the seat of govern- ment under the new constitution. The Dictator, for such he is, had left the capitol, and it was not known where he had gone. f Intelligence had also been received that the ‘“* Na- poleon” was Foing to throw dice again for an em- ire. He will command the expedition against Texas in person—that is, he will be a calm specta- tor of events from his cabin im, the iron steamer Guadaloupe, which is_to batter down all the towns and foris of Texas. The attack by land and sea, it is said, will be made simultaneously, Gen. Reis commanding the land forces, and the Dictator the storming regiments. As seon as the sent to Yucatan arrive at Vera Croz, the ‘ water power’ will be dispatched to Galveston. Fnn in the offing!

A youug gentleman of opulent parentage took it into his head it was proper he should drive a business corresponding with his credit, fame of character and other dignified qualifications. Accordingly, without consultation, he rented an additional store and made purchase tor cash, with an indulgence of thirty days, to fill it. The substantial name and standing of his papa, was enough to endorse his credit, even on a presumptive anticipation of pro- mising it at any time. Se on the strength of it our hero was countenanced. He ob. tained the goods to a considerable amount, on the proposed terms, and had them placed in his store. The discovery, however, was eventually made that papa had never been made acquainted with the grand cash speculation. When bills were rendered, no money was forthcoming. ‘The old geutleman would not take the responsibilities, and our young ambitious aspirant was under the necessity of re- turning the merchandise to those from whom he had obtained them. Constable Clapp of Boston, came on here yester- day, with a requisition fromthe Governor of Mas- sachusetts, for the persons of Richard L. Evans and Thomas Woodward, who were accused of misde- meanors in that State. They both had wives, who were sent home by some benevolent persons, who raised a subscription for that purpose. About 950 head ef beef cattle were offered tor sale during the past week, and over 300 head sold at pri- ces ranging from $3 to $4nett. There is a good supply on hand. The inspections of flour during the week are 12,981 barrels, and 467 half barrels, besides 73 rye, and 50 barrels corn meal. Howard street flour is now selling at $4 183, and city mills $4 25. Wheat ranges from 75 to 85 cents, with a large quan- tity coming in. Corn is worth 53 to 54 cents, and rye 45 to 50 cents; oats 22.

A very large quantity was manufactured then in order to meet the anticipated de- mand, and already has this really immense stock been disposed of, being more than some venders of this article sell in a whole year. A fresh suppl is now ready of the same superior quality, andthe lege have made ar- rangements for the manufacture of the article on a still more stupendous scale.

A recent arrival at New Or- feans brought $60,000 in specie from Liverpool for that purpose. From Mexico, West Indies, and the Northern States, specie is rapidly seeking that paint; probably up- wards of $1,000,000 have reached there since the repudia- tion ofthe depreciated paper 9s a currency. ‘That move- ment has also benefited the banks themselves, and it is supposed that three or four of the strongest will be able again to resume during the coming month. At Mobile it had been pretty generally determined among dealers to force a similar state of things, by refusing to take the de- preciated paper in the course of business. That move- ment alarmed the banks, who took steps to better their currency, which has accordingly rapidly improved, thereby restoring confidence so far as again to tempt deal- ers to taku, in payment. If this is dene, it will be a most fatal error. The same abundance of money continues to character- ize the market, and also the same want of confidence in the offered means of investment. This feeling will pro- bably be removed when the election shall have termina- ted in New York, should it result in favor of the’ present party in power, whose policy is to confine the State debt within its present limits, and to maintain the mill tax and all other legitimate sources of revenue, until all the obli- gations of the State are discharged to the uttermost far- thing. ‘The opposing party desire to repeal the tax, and to increase the debt of the State, by lending its credit to companies already insolvent—in the prosecution of en- terprises so desperate that no private individual will sub- scribe to it. On this election, therefore, hangs the value of the property of an immense number of individuals, banks, and their adherents ; consequently, no one choo- sesto incur the risk until the event is decided. The po- licy of repealing the tax is also a species of repudiation, in- asmu*n as it is pledged to the redemption of those seven per cent stocks that have since been negotiated, and which were subscribed for on the faith of that tax law.— This feature enabled the Comptroller to obtain $250,000 at par for anew seven per cent stock recently, while the federal government has been unable to obtain money on its loan, all the rumors recently put in motion by the bro- kers and even by the department, have, as we predicted, turned out to be false and mere stock-jobbing tricks. The working of the new tariff and disastrous condition of the Treasury, growing out of its utter mismanagement, form an insuperable bar to the renovation of its credit. The want of confidence in New York and the federal govern- ment, affects allother stecks, and prices areheavy.

The government itself has no means, ‘and is without credit. The public lands, asa resource, are utterly insufficient. For the last two years they have yielded but $1,500,000 per annum, and will not probably yield more for years to come, on account of the State and private lands in the market in competition. The States ‘owe about $240,000,000, bearing an interest of $14,000,000. It is very plain to the most limited capacity, that $1,500,- 000 per annum will not pay $14,000,000 per annum ; nor can it be made to, by any paper juggling. The holding this up as a means of relief, is in the last degree dishonora- ble and disgraceful ; because it deceives the masses of the people who cannot go into the details of the matter. And as long as they think that relief can be obtained frem other quarters, they will not submit to taxation, which, after all, is the only means of paying their debte. ‘The sooner they are taught to know this truth, the sooner will they be willing to submit to it. Amusing the people with fan- tastical schemes of relief for base politienl purposes is the true cause of our national disgrace, With the coming sessions of the Western Legislatures, strong hopes are en- tertaine1 that proper measures will be taken in the delin- quent States to pay seme part of their liabilities.

Cotton Trade. ‘The Cotton Market in this city has been dull, witha downward tendency, The stock is not large but falling rates of exchange with increasing prices of freights, give but little encouragement to operate. This has operated at the Seuth to depress the markets in a marked degree.— At New Orleanssterling bills sell at nominal at 2 per cent. prem. which is 7 to 9 per cent in favor of the Jmsport of the precious metals for the purchase of cotton, ead of drawing against. In fact it is almost impossible to sell bills. There is little or no demand in New York for bills, aud will be still less under the operation of the new tariff. ‘At Mobile the rapid depreciation of the currency has also been a bar to operations, as the sellers were reluctant to submit to the corresponding reduction in prices. At Charleston and Savannah the state of the New York market,?asq well es the accounts by the!British Queen, have caused a similar effect, viz, a fall in prices.— ‘The following table will show the amount of sales at each port, with the stocks on hand, and the variation in the mar- ket for the week preceding the latest dates. ‘Transactions at THE Leapine Points. “Greaker’ Sales.

We will show them that ia England early 1 th the average price of wh ngland early last month the average priee of wheat was $1 65 a bushel. By the corn law of that country, when the average falls to that point,the duty to be paid on whest from Canada is 16 cents, and on that from America 54cents. But bythe law in contemplation, all duty on wheat from Canada is to be abolished and aduty of 9 cents only to be imposed by the Provincial Parliament on wheat going from this country into the British Province. This will make a graet difference in favor of the American pro- hence direct to England a ducer. When wheat is sent It is clear, then, that this movement on the part of the British government will increase our shipments to Eng. land very rapidly. ‘The difference of 45 cents a bushel is alarge margin for the Canadian dealer to operate upon, and will of course have its effect upon es in our western markets.
