Ia this vessel have arrived, as passengers, elebrated Col. Almoute, who was in the battle ot San Jacinto—and also his brother, accompanied y a stite of aids and officers. A large amount of specie belonging to Mexicans, part probably to the government, has also come, consigned to the com- mereial house of Hargous & Co By this vessel we have private intelligence, and private correspondence, from Vera Cruz and Mexi- », of the highest importance to Texas, and the of that country.; We have now ertain and positive information, on which we can vely, that the Mexican government, or rather Santa Anna, will soon invade Texas, if she is not already ivaded, by a large army and navy, both by sea and land—the army to be led on by British officers—and he navy bythe same. The Mexican fleet already numbers three iron steamers, two gun brigs, and three schooners. The following is a letter:— (Correspondence of the Herald.) Vera Cava, Sept. 16, 1842. Co rag Evrron or THe New Yorx Heratp [have just received the annexed statement from one of the crew of the Guadaloupe, the war steamer wtrived from England. “I shipped on board the steam frigate Guada- the future destiny loupe, Capt, E. Charlewood, at ‘Liverpool, at the close of June last, as I thought for China. The number of crew was then eighty-six, including abtapors,. Seethed Wee.” The etay: betoresthe teamer left Liverpool, we were all called aft, when Capt Charlewood read a written agreement, without a stamp, and drawn up by himself. It stated that he wished all hands to go with him—that he was ignorant of the destination of the ship—and that we must ask no questions. We were to re- ceive £3 per month as wages—warrant and pet- ty o} rs rated according to rank. We saiied trom Liverpool on the 4th of July. Two days vfter, I noticed in the Liverpool Mail, of the 2nd, that the Guadaloupe had cleared tor Coruuna. On the 7th, we called at Cork. Or ders were then sent on board for the captain to go ashore and report the ship immediately. He there- :pon piled on sail and put on steam, and we soon lett old Ireland in the rear. On the 15th we touched at Fanchal, took in coals, and left on the 18th.— Shortly after, the Captain ordered the boatswain to pipe all hands to quarters. We were arranged on both sides of the deck. Captain C., then said— * Well, men, itis my intention to inform you what my busin . I was ordered not to tell you be- fore » bound to Vera Cruzin Mexico. That place is blockaded by a set of half-bred Yankees, who call themselves Texians. I am determined to break myselt through. I am well convinced that you are alla set of picked men. We have a good ship—with 2-68 pivots, and we shall no doubt take plenty of prizes.’ “Two days after we saw the Mexican colors on ard, much to our surprise. From that day we were constantly drilied at the big guns and small arms. It was Taugheble to see the firemen, all so very green, handling the muskets. We were piped to quarters whenever a vessel hove in sight. On the 25th of August we reached Vera Cruz. On the 2th all hands manned the yards and saluted the Governor. We were then piped to quar- ters, and Captain C, again spoke :—‘* Well, men, I wish to inform you that this ship is going to ex- change flags, that of Mexico will be hoisted to- morrow inorning. if any,of you have anything to say, now is your time. Hereafter you must hold your tongues.’ Several declined serving under the Mexican flag, and wished to leave. Four were permitted to'go. ‘Che others were told that they must rem@in, as the Mexican Government were anxious for English sailors—so much so, indeed, that the wages of the warrant officers were raised. We were then informed that Captain C. would re- ceive $450 per month, the first lieutenant,G. Wright 150, Doctor Clemenson $150, under purser and clerk each $150; and, after the capture of Texas, they are te receive three hundred dollars, to pay their passage home—and poor Jack but $25. A‘l those who should lose an arm, an eye, or a leg, were to receive £60, and £30 for a finger, a tor, or forany scar. This is a list of prices adopted by Santa Anna. He lost a leg, which was probably | worth no more than £60. Hence the list. Three men refused to comply with these regulations and serve in the steamer. They were consequently thrown into prison and confined three days with- out any food. ‘The British Consul refused to offer them any aid.” It these men should fall what will become of their Will they get any mo- poor wives nnd families ? ney? No thoughts of this enter the minds of the lexicans. All they care for is the taking of Texas 4 Six months, with a fleet of three steamers, one 18 gun brig, one 10 gun brig, and three schooners. This expedition, it will be perceived, was orga- nised in London, under the patronage of the Mex- ican merchants and landholders in that quarter. The force already in motion will be sufficient to overwhe'm Texas, and to drive every Texian out of that smiling land. The Texian navy, at the last accounts, was laid up and useless, for want of fonds. The Mexican navy is in full force—with toree iron steamers and plenty of men and am nunition to co-operate with their army. We ex- pect that a decisive blow will soon be leyelied at the independence of Texas. The arrival of Col Almonte, as Mexican minister in this country, is probably intended to preserve the peace of the United States of the north and Mexico. Almonte is a man of superior talents, great address, perfectly acquainted with our language and institutions. The British aseendancy in Mexico is now com- plete. Unless the French and American govern- ments interfere, the existence of Texas asa nation is gone for ever. Nothing can save the new repub- lic, but such an intervention. Will it be extended Anglo Saxon race in Texas? We'll see. On the whole, we begin to see some mighty results gtowing,out of this new invasion of Texas. Will not lead to a union between France and the Vaited States to prevent England and Mexice from roying an independent republic on this continent? May not the attempt to annihilate Texas lead the Sreat maritime powers into a war on fhe occan? Are we in the beginning of a new crisis in hu- man affairs?

Baskuvers.—Trs Agwy or Martyns.—It is esti mated that about 25,000 persons, throughout the \'nion, have already applied for the benefit of the bankrupt law, of which nearly one-fourth are in Carrais Sonn TYLER ax mis Orcans.—Wee eal] upon the Presideat of the United States to look at ind mark the character and tone of his principal rgans in“ these diggins”—the Sun-Union penny paper, now under the superintendance of M. M Noah, a candidate for any fat office—the chairman of the Military Hall club of office beggars—and a Canadian Jew of the most curiouskind We cannot descend to any altercation with such beastly, brutal, degraded, polluted vagabonds— whose conduct and tastes are even looser than the “‘Rakes” and “Flashes” of the stews. We only call upon Captain Tyler to mark these things—and to enquire why the Postmaster General and his de- puties here encourage, pay for, and feed such be- ings, co utterly beneath the dignity of man The ‘‘Sun-Union” seems now to be under the management of Judas Iscariot, just after he had been cut down from the tree on which he hung him- self, and now galvenised for the first time by potent doses of treasury pap, poured down his throat by the post office and other government officials of New York, Savae@.inc on THE Fronrrer.—Great prepara- tions are making in Montreal by persons who intend to do a very large business in smug- gling upon our northern frontier during the en- suing winter season. Several houses have been established in Montreal with this object, having American and Canadian partners, and in this way they intend to work “ double tides” in smuggling The Americans will smuggle over flour, from this side, and bring back their pay in British goods, and as soon as winter sets in, hundreds and thou- sands of Canadian ponies will be put on the route, and travel with the goods thus smuggled on towards Boston and elsewhere to be disposed of. Mr, Parmlee, the government agent, has been as far as St. John’s to see about this. He discovered that a good many horses had been smuggled over, and also found out that a large number of asses had passed that way during the summer, and both state- ments are probably true. Universal Cugmency oF Goverxor Sewarp.— This is the “era of good feelings’; caused by the Croton water. Governor Seward promises to be the most bevevolent man of the age. We hear that petitions, praying for a general pardon to all of- fenders, will be got up—and hopes are entertained that he will grant a general and universal amnesty. There are now in prison, several persons convicted of various offences—one for murder, one for forge- ry—many to be tried—besides several hundred thieves in the State prisons. Let the amiable Gov- ernor, before he gees out of office, grant a general amnesty for all offences, as a fit accompaniment to the bankrupt law and the introduction of the Cro- ton water. Let Auburn, Sing Sing, and Black- well’s Island be emptied—swept clean—whitewash- ed—and let out to new tenants. Nisco’s anp THE Frexca Benkvorent Sociery Bengvit—This place was crammed on Saturday night at the benefit of the French Benevolent Soci- ety. The Society sold tickets equal to $2000—ex- penses $200—net proceeds $1800—a capital nest egg to begin cold winter with. The acting, panto- mime, and rope dancing of the Ravels were magni- ficent. Miss Wells, the pretty youthful danseusc, appeared in one of Elssler’s picturesque dances, and gained extraordinary eclat. She is now, beyond compare, the most graceful and sweetest dancer on this continent—young, beautiful, modest, elegant, well formed—a small foot—good bust—gentle face —bright eye—and a tout ensemble of exquisite pro- portions. There, now, young lady, don’t faint. ‘Tue Bowery anv Cgvests.—Celeste’s engage- ment closed at the Bowery on Saturday night. Her engagement has been tolerable, but not what it ought to have been. It presented a struggle, from the jump, between the popularity and great talent of the actress, and the bad reputation and worse ma- nagement of the theatre. None but Celeste could have maintained the struggle and brought any houses. The Bowery has been so unpopular, so badly managed, so characterles: of late years, that it would swamp{Garrick himself. if he were to rise from the dead and play Richard there. The pro- ceeds last week were small. The Bowery will now return to old prices and oblivion. Peace to its manes. Wuo wants To TuRN Farmer ?—Read the adver- tisements in the Herald, under the name of John Tyler, President of the United States, offering vast tracts of the best lands forsale in the Western States. Nicholas Biddle, the “ great financier,” has aban- doned the management of banks of circulation, and taken to cultivating banks of earth. He has just delivered a most admirable speech on agriculture— which is a bijow in style and thought. Every man is turning farmer now-a-days. Who wants to baya section in Michigan ? Ohio Election.

We also |r arn that Ashtabula is reported 1000 less majority than 1840 forthe whigs. Some allowance must be made for the above, and also for the following, which we take from the Co- lumbus Statesman, democratic, of the 11th inst., the day of the election :— A few townships in Clark county show a gain of about 200 for Shannon over Two townships in Licking county are reported to have done as well on Governor as in 1888—these, too, from the sup- peed infected district! Eight townships in Mus- ingum county, says a note on the way-bill, gives Corwin 750 majority—about asin 1840. There is a report also that in Dayton the whigs have gained 25 or 30 over last year This will hardly save Barnet and Schenck, if other parts of the county does as ‘was expected. Sream Sure Cotumata, Capt. Miller, left Boston yesterday for Halifax and Liverpool, with twenty- five passengers and a large mail. Fant Fasntons —The first public ball of the sea- son comes offto-night, at the Shakapeare Hall, given by the Chatham V olunteers—Nosher’sband—tickets 50 cents. A number of very beautiful ladies will be there—several dashingwidows with money—besides bachelors without number—rich. The dollar balls are stiff and formal—but the fifty cent balls are ex- quisite, rich and delicious. Preparations are mak- ing for eight hundred and seventy-six fifty cent balls during the ensuing season. Dollars are scarce. Sreamen Lost.—The steam ship Merchant, from New Orleans to Galveston, was lost at the mouth of the Atchafalaya, on the 2d inst. Six persons were drowned, and several left on the wreck whose situation was perilous. .'The vessel belonged to Com. Moore and Col. Washington—valae $10,000. No insurance.

Liprary vor Saie.—Riell & Arcularius continue the sale of Langtree’s splendid library to-night. ‘This is the richest and most singular library that has been sold for years—old and rare works, choice ma- nuseripts, and curious collections, seldom or never moet likely equal to 200,000,000, This amount of rivate repudiation, already in process, is equal to gregate debts of all the States, and twice as has the amount of State repudiation. The dis adividualsis therefore double the disgrace he States seen before. wos ssi?! | Mrarean Trear.—it will be seen by the adver- tisement that the Messrs. Rainer have combined with Mr. Dempster to sing to-night at the Society ary, and also to-morrow, at the Rutgers Insti- a si As yosterday was a dies now with the Fair at Nib- lo’s, we, of course have nothing to report this morn- ing. We, therefore, take this Opportunity to say, that the great absorbing topic of all minds now is the Nautical exhibitions to-morrow, for which the Institute are going toa very heavy expense. For full particulars see the advertisement in another co- lumn. Professor Morse will perform a highly in- teresting and scientific experiment with his Electro Magnetic Telegraph, by which a correspondence will be carried on between Castle Garden and Go- vernor’s Island. The great feature of the day will be the blowing up by Mr. Colt of a vessel of nearly 300 tons, which 1s five times larger than either of those blown up before. This part of the exhibition is made at the request, and at the expense of the American Institute; although Messrs. French and Heiser will share with them the proceeds of the garden on that day. The Institute applied to Mr. Secretary Upshur to bear the expense of the ex- hibition, out of the $15,000 which it will be recol- lected, has been appropriated by act of Congress to teat by experiments the ability of Colt’s submarine battery for coast and harbor defence. To this the Secretary replied, that he had no authority to make such an appropriation in behalf of any private so- ciety. The Institute, therefore, proceed on their) own account. The vessel will be located between the North Ca- rolina and the Garden, where the best view can be had. Mr. Colt, himself, will be on board the North Carelina with his apparatu: nd the explosion will take place precisely at twelve o’clock, M., toa se cond. The experiment to-morrow is the only one that will be performed in New York harbor, as we are informed by Mr. Golt. The public can there- fore visit the Garden and see for themselves. As there are a great many conflicting epinions re- mates Se originality and merits ot Colt’s sub- marine battery, we have taken considerable pains to ascertain from private conversation with Mr. Colt— and will now state for the information of the public —what are his claims for his sub-marine battery. He claims, then, to be able to destroy any vessel within sight of hisown position, even at the distance of forty miles, wherever she may be, and whatever may be her size. That he can destroy any number of ships in the most rapid succession, or all at once, even be they the combined fleets of all Europe, pro- vided they be any where within the above stated That he can pick out one vessel, and nother ; destroy this and save that, at plea- sure; if he can see the difference between them, he can produce the difference in his results. That he can destroy the largest ciass ships of war with ease and safety to himself, when in motion passing in or out of harbor, without the necessity of approach within reach of shot from the largest guns of the largest calibre. He intimates, therefore, that the idea of raking a channel—of powder being deposited under the vessel—of wires to be torn up, &c., &c., are all chimeras of other people. The moment the vessel is within his sight, he claims her as his own, to save or to deat) We have thus fairly and correctly stated Mr. Colt’s claims; of their validity or futility the public can judge as well as we. Security acaryst Exrrosions.—Our attention has been called several times to a new invention now exhibiting in the machine room at the fair, called Raub’s double self-acting safety valves, to prevent explosion in steam boilers. Not being a judge of this machine ourselves, we will give one or two extracts from letters to Mr. Samuel Raub, Jr., the patentee. Those interested will give it a care- ful examination:— New Yort, Sept. 7, 1842. Your “Double Selfacting ' Safety Valves,” I consider the most important discovery that has been made e the application of steam to purposes of trade and navigation, as you have, in your own simple but strong lang rendered “ the use of steam as harmless as the bed of down.” * * * * * Your “Double Self- Acting Safety Valves” cre the only certain remedy that 1 have yet seen for the detection and prevention ofthis great evil. * * 1 consider your “ Valves” the long sought desideratum, and having thoroughly tested them, since they have bows suliee to the boilers of the South America, of the People’s line, I cannot hesitate to recom- mend their general adoption. * * * Having be- come satisfied of the above facts, from fy od observa. tion and practical experiment on boar) the South Ame- rica, 1 close by fiving my opinion thet the safety of life and ‘security of property demands that they should be brought into general use, as without them we are not safe in either, while with them I conceive it almost im- possible that explosions should occur, except through in- tention oF gross neglect, which could not, without great- ly outraging the feelings of humanity, be attributed to any indivinual, whose life was also at stake. GEORGE HAWES, Chief Engineer of the steamer South America. 1 fully concur in the above opinions expressed by Mr. Hawes. THOMAS ROCKEFELLER, Second Engineer of the Steamer South America. New Youx, Sept. 10, 1842. Dean Sin,—I am highly gratified in being able to give tny unqualified approbation to your ‘ Double Self-Acting Safety es.” Phey are, in my opinion, the one thing needful to put steam under the complete control of man. * * * Thave no hesitation in declari it my firm convic- tion that no boilor is really secure without your safety valves, and that public safety demands that all boilers should be equipped with them, especially those used in propelling vessels. You have my best wishes for your entire success, and the general adoption of your Valves. i TLLIAM Spl 7 sags crimon! Chief the steamer Troy. To Samuel Raub, Jr, Present. Tue Carrie SHow.—Our readers understand that the American Institute are this week to open their annual cattle show at the corner of 13th street and Broadway. The exhibition will open on Wednes- day nextat9o’clock. The Committee of the Agri- cultural department have taken great pains in pre- paring the yard, and been at heavy expense, and we run no risk in saying, that on no occasion has this city ever been called to look at such a collec- tion of fine improved blood animals. The herds of Messrs, Gibbons, Poole, Prentiss, Tonkin, Whit- ney, Watson, Vail, Hilhouse, Corning, Sotham Clark, Hall, Townsend, Rust’and Sherwood, will be represented, and several others of equal celeb- rity. old Connecticut has sent down noble on mens of working oxen, and Hambden, Guild- ‘ord, and New Haven are all onthe ground. We were delighted with their appearance at New Ha- ven a few days ago. The horses, sheep, and pigs, are to be here rong force, and we hope that the beautiful and amiable swine may have their merits fully recognised by their patron saint at Worcester, who we hope will be her Maks. Surrox’s Concer (to-morrow evening).— The return of this charming vocalist, after so long an absence, will, we feel assured, be hailed by a crowded auditory. Mrs. Sutton’s musical career, since she left us, has been unusually triumphant, and her reception from the Havana, throughout her tour, has been enthusiastic. Mrs. Sutton rank- ed, prior to her departure, as superior to any vocal- ist now among us. The programme is rich in mu- sical gems. By Mrs. S. the beautiful “Tair de niobe,” and the grand aria from |Ippermestra, by Mercadante, and two Duetto’s Buflo, with Signor De Begnis, one, of which, ‘‘nella casa,” was receiv- ed with such immense applause at their concert last fall, and the other a novelty which will eclipse even the former. Mrs. S. sings, as well, a splendid aria from the “ Schiave Bagdad,” with violin obligato, by Mr. Chatel, who has not appeared since his suc- cessful debut at the Park, last winter. Mr. Kos- sowki plays two of his fine pieces, and Monsieur Chatel a solo, and last, though not least, the first appearance in New York, of Miss Emilina Sutton, not yet seven years old, whose performances are spoken of by the press, where she has sung, as being truly astonishing. She will sing the ‘ Cracovian Maid,” and a Seotch ballad in costume. Where, however, Mrs. Sutton and the Signor preside, there will be the feast Tue Turr.—Col. Johnson’s grey horse, Blue Dick, won the national Jockey Club Purse at Wash- ington, on Friday, beating F. Thompson’s Prior, in two four mile heats,‘in 7 m. 54 s.—7m. 57}. Boston broke down in his recent race at Alexan- dria, and will be withdrawn from the turf. Blue Dick will meet Fashion at Camden on the 29th, when great sport is anticipated. The races, over the Kendall Course at Baltimore, commence on Tuesday, and continue four days. Miss Foote, the recently celebrated Western racer, took a four mile purse at the late races at Lexington, in two heats, at7 m. 42 s.—7 m. 408. Og Miss CLarEnpon gives readings and recita- tions in the Society Library to-morrow night. She is a graceful, pretty, and accomplished young artist, and deserves generous encouragement.

He was placed in the Tombs for reflection. Pickrockets Sueina ror Damaces.—The day of the Croton celebration and the night previous, officers A. M.C. Smith, Bowyer and others ‘ pulled” several of the celebrated pickpockets that were prowling about our city on partial charges alleged against them, and locked them up till inv n was made, when they were discharg- |. From the advice of some of their legal counsel these rogues obtained writs for damages which were about to be served on the officers, when sober second thoughts prompt ed a different course, and they sloped yesterday afternoon, to Baltimore, where the police will find them on Tuesday morning at ‘the K course, all alive and ready to ee foe canine renee When shall Aa alaw in this State king pockets a special offence, as itis in Feuaeyivanio'?

The watch and promisso: ry, notes were recovered, by officer Heustis, who arrested Johnson, but the money wes among the mis: sing. Biowina ur an Inon Cuest with Powon.—On Saturda} Ug was perceived in the store of Jeremii Skidmore, 287 East Broadway, and it being after the hour ofclosiag, suspicions were created that burglars were at work inside. Assistant Alderman Nash was sent for; and upon opening the store two boys were fcund secreted on the premises, who had made their entrance through a rear window. Upon examination of the premises it was found that failing to break opeu the iron chest,they had attempt- ed to force off the leck by pouring gun powder into it and exploding it. The young rngues gave their names as James Hughes and John Clark, and upon searching them a box of locofoco matches was found, a number of keys, a candle and a small packageof powder. They were ful ly committed and have been a: once before on similar charge, but were released for want of proof. —Some fine trotting will See ed- evening a Nrsio’s.—This elegant establishment was never better graced than on Saturday evening, for the be- nefit of the French Benevolent Society. The saloon was crowded in every part, by the very elite of our city~the flower of our beauty and fashion. How calm must have been their slumbers, knowing they had been clothing the naked and feeding the hun- gry! The committee deserve all praise for carry- ing the praiseworthy measure through so effectually. To-night Madame Javelli makes her first appear- ance in America. She is said to be the first rope dancer in the world. The whole Ravel family also appear in the first act of Jocko, and the never-fail- ing Night Owl. The attraction is great.

He assumes the garb of a female and represents the character so faithfully, and withal makes such a good looking lady, thet were the men unacquainted with his sex they would be likely to fallin love with him. Mr. Delarue, Miss Rosalie, Master Young, the wire volante dancer, appear, Museum, curiosities, picture gallery and all for one shilling. 0G Let no lover of the curious, the useful and the amusing, forget the American Museum this week. In addition to the vast collection of curiosities, which is more extensive than those of any five Museums in America, the inimitable and eccentric Dr. Valentine is engaged and will give his comic delineations, including his celebra- ted and unequalled burlesque Phrenological Lecture, the most comic affair we ever listenedto.

T0 ALL THE WORLD WHO USE LEA- THER IN ANY FORM.—Oil of Tannin, or Leather Restorer, anew Chemical Discovery. Most people know that skins and hides are converted into leather by the use of Tannin extracted from certain barks, &e. When the force and strength of the Tannin is worn out, leather becomes dead, hard, dry, brittle, cracked, cov: with acrust, &c. This all know. ‘To restore then life, softness, moistness, strength, smoothness, and remove crust, fly, or blister—restore ‘the tannin. ' This substance the leather never can receive the second time—but the whole virtues of it are in this article, the Oil of Tannin— which penetrates the stiffest and hardest leather, if ic has been twenty years in use; and it it tears easily with the fingers, it imparts at once a strength that is utterly incre- dible until seen. It becomes like new leather, in all re- spects, with a delightful softness and polish, and makes ail leather completely and perfeetly impervious to water cularly ts, shoes, carriage tops, harness, hose, trunks, and in fact all things made of leather, giving a «plendid polish, even higher than new leather has, and at least doubling its wear and durability, in whatever man- ner the leather is used. These are facts. ‘To convince of their truth, any man trying the article and not finding it so, shall have his money agam. Re- member that this is serious and true. We have to say it, for we would never have believed the wonderful effects of ¢his oil leather without see- it, and we ask not for the credulity of the community till they have seen, andthen, we know that they mast know these to be facts. Directions for use, with each bottle. Patent leatherand its polish restored by this oil. Corns cannot long exist where this is used for boots and shoes, it keeps the leather so soft. Leather cannot decay, or crack, mould, or blister, du- ring the common age of man, so far as we can judge by experience, if this oil is proper.y used. ‘adies’ shoes, of the finest kinds, are beautified and rendered water:proof by it; and soare the shoes or boots of ail others who use it. Banish then, all India rubber, or other over shoes, and use this oil. The proprietors will warrant, that if leather is first soaked in this oil, and then made into a boot, and that boot sunk three months in water, not one drop of wet or moisture can ever enter the boot, unless it runs over and such a boot shall wear double the time of its mate that is not so prepared. Now, if these things are true, the discovery is of infi- nite value to the world. If it is not true, it is the easiest thing inthe world to prove it, without cost. Who then will refuse a trial ? ‘Those who will may wear old shoes, groan with corns, ride with old carriage-to, ave old harness, and throw them away half used—look filthy themselves, and all about them—expend double what is rag for articles of leather, to their hearts’ content, for what we care, if their prejudices are so strong, they will not try anew dis- covery.

(Signed) DAVID MORRISON, New York, Oct. 16, 1842. 76 Roosevelt st. EEE EEE MONEY MARKET, Sunday, Oct, 16—6 P.M. We mentioned on a recent occasion that the city of St. Louis, had outstanding a large amount, say $250,000 of city shinplasters, which they forced upon their creditors to circulateas money. This fraudulent paper has depre- ciated in the hands of the public 30 per cent ; yet the city authorities have refused to part with any of its property in order to redeem these promises, An ordinance hes, how- ever, been enacte! which provides for the funding of the scrip in sums of $100, in bonds bearing 10 per cent. inter est, to be issued in three classes of $40,000 each, payable in three, four and five years—the interest payable semi- avnually in St. Louis and New York, in specie. This is all very well. The next question is, has the city the. means of paying 10 per cent. interest? The same law which authorizes this funding scheme restricts the annual expenses of the city to $89,000. The income of the city is Jess than $50,000, Where the funds are to come from to pay the interest and principal is not to readily explained, but is very necessary to the credit of the bonds. In relation to the affairs of Illinois, Governor Carlin, in a late Executive Circular, says :—“‘ The reduction of some salaries, the curtailment of expenses, together with the large amount of additional lands which have become tax- able this year, will justify a large reduction of taxes, and have ample means to carry on the government on e sya- tem of strict economy ; and until we get through the pre- sent crisis it will hardly be in our power to collect reve- nue to pay any portion ofour public debt.” The following is a statement of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, as compared with the returns of 1840 :— Tar Bacrtimore anv Onto Rau Roap Company, Ovto- BER |, 1842, i 3 1942, 1640.

James Hunnewell, the vice president of the Bank, charging Wy. man and Brown with having embezzled and feloniously stolen the sum of $300,000 from the bank. Secondly, he charges Skinner with having received the $900.000 from W.&B., knowing the same to have been embezzled and stolen. Thirdly, he charges all three with a conspiracy to defraud and cheat the stockholders of the bank, as afore- said. And to these several complaints, the defendents pleaded “not guilty.” ‘This is the proper method of dealing with paper money rogues. Inthe course of the examination the fact was de- veloped, that these parties were concerned with Blanchard and Odiorne, the two Boston Bank tellers, who were pro- secuted last year, for frauds connected with’a broker's house in Wall street. It appeared that from these people Wyman obtained the funds to pay a dividend of the Pho nix Bank, in order to keep up appearances, in the seme manner that the late National Bank deceptively psid two dividends on the stock of the State of Mississippi, in Lon- don, representing that the State had paid in order “to su- stain confidence,” and chest innocent people into buying a worthless stock. The details of the late tariff continue to occupy the at- tention of the mercantile classes, and generally speaking the conclusion come to respecting its practical working, is not at all favorable. We cannot see any very cogent reason, however, for taking a desponding view of the sub- ject. It has been laid down as an axiom in finance that nothing can prevent the smuggler stepping in as the cor- rector of extravagantly high duties, even under the most despotic governments, and that Congress have committed an egregious error in this respect with'many articles of the tariff, does not admit of a question. The result is, how ever, palpable and obvious at once to all persons conver- sant with the trade of the United States with Great Bri- tain. The moment it is found that it will be more profita. ble to take the risk of entering by the Canadian frontier than by the Custom House of New. York, goods will be shipped for Quebec, New Brunswick, &c. nearly as openly for the merchants in the eastern towns of the States, as if the trade were direct. It is utterly impossible to guard a frontier extending 1200 or 1600 miles with a population on both sides of the line intefested in aftording every facility tothe contraband trade. Every person acquainted with the practical effect of the'former high tariff on the Cana. dian line, is aware thatthe bulk of the article was no se- curity whatever against smuggling, and there is no rea- son to believe ttiat the pepulace Lave become more vir- tuous and patriotic than they were ten or twelve years ago. The best judges are, therefore, decidedly of opinion that supposing the southern and western States were to submit to the present tariff remaining permanent, a case by the way altogether improbable, the object for which it is imposed would most certainly be defeated. It will nel- ‘ther answer the purpose as a question of revenue, nor as # protection to manufactures in competition with the old settled countries of Europe. The payment of the import duties in hard cash, when the goods are entered at the Custom House, it is concladed very rationally will have considerable influence in preventing consignments on speculation. ‘The immediate offect in England, isa temporary check upon exports to this country, until the business has found its new channels, The whole quantit; this port to eOnit of manufactured goods sent from States, by all the shipping houses riod this year, does equal the together, in a given quantity sent by a single first rate shipping. house in a similar period, but one of prosperity. eats state of things, what are called transient ships no freight, while even the packet ships get little or none.

It appears that acrack packet ship, in the busy season of the year, getsa $600 freight. In order to understand the'great falling off in this business, we will give the fol- lowing items of three packet ships in 1690, which were lost in a gale :— Freight. sage Vales. of a 3 3,250 “520, _30,000 iv 000 $223,000 ww” Sito Shoes eee $74,333, Against an average freight of near $10,000 in 1889, one of the finest ships of our merchant marine, now comes here;with $400 or five per cent of the former freights For whose interest is this destruction of one of the most vital interests of the country wrought out?
