The entire cost_of the steam-ship Great Western was statedto be £61,671, while the estimate cost of the Great Britain would be £100,000. Loud complaints were made of the extravagant management of the company’s affairs; Captain Hos- ken being paid, as it was said, at a very much high- er rate than any of the captains of the Royal Mail Company, and it being suggested that the salaries of Mr. Guppy, one of the directors and manager of the works, for which he received £500 per annum, and of Captain Claxton, managing director, for which he was paid £300 per annum,might be saved. It was also = dthat the yard and implements had cost about £60,000, while the company had on'y been of- fered a very reduced sum forit, and that the highest bona fide bidding for the Great Western, at the late sale, had been £17,500. It was, however, stated in ustifieation for the expenditure at the yard, that no person would undertake the building of the Great Britain, and that it was therefore necessary to erect nachivery of their own, and it was stated that Mr. Guppy acted asengineer. It was also stated that the Great Western herself had paid 6} per cent. \ counter resolution was proposed on the part of the directorate, and very ably advocated by the an, and ultimately adopted in a modified form neeting. ‘The resolution was to the efle the directors should be empowered to r: 00 on the seeurity of the company’s property; te Great Britain should be sold at a sacrifice; and that the Great Western should continue her voyeges to New York as usual, unless soldin the vantime to advantage. The meeting then separa- Pa m0 CatrLé AND Provistons.—The importa- tion of foreign cattle and salted provisions is in- creasing, and there very reason to expect that this will become a very great trade. Hall, which i situate with regard to Hamburg, place for the importation of the former, nd Liverpool for the latter. The number of catile imported into Hull alone has now increased to 20) head a week, and it will increase steadily, ultimately become very large The countries which live cattle h Rotten received up to the nttime are Holstein, Hanover, Holland, Bel- , France and Spain. The places from which ed provisions have been received are the United s, Canada, Hamburg, and Archangel; in Rus- sin j reparations are also making to send large quan- Utiestrom Buenos Ayres. This trade also promises to e one of great extent, although the quality ot the greater part of the salt meat yet imported is indifferent, and the mode of preparing itis bad. If, however, the Americans and others can improve the quality of their meat as much as they have im- proved the quality of their cheese, some of which is now equal to excellent Cheshire, the demand fer it will be immense. Even now itis bought up eagerly, cause it is very good, but because it is much rthan none at ali. Owing to this competition, 1 perhaps to other causes, the price ef meat has vat least a penny a pound in Liverpool, and is low as it has been tor many years —Liverpool Times. A correspondent of the London Chronicle gives an analysis of the Reports of the Poor Law Com- missioners, from which it appears that there has been a frightful increase of poverty. The letter is addressed to Sir Robert Peel. The Chronicle says: It will beseen that the increase in 1840 and 1841, as compared with 1837 and 1858, both in amount of rate and in number of paupers, has been principally n the agricultural districts. High prices are still more ruinous to the agricultural laborer than to. the manufacturer and artizan, because, in his best times he isalways on the verge of starvation. But the most alarming part of the exhibition is the extraor- linary additien to the able adult population in our houses. What will 1842 exhibit ? France. Tn addition to the previous troubles of the present Ministry, a new opposition appears to be progressing, of whieh M, de Salvandy is to be the leader in the Chamber of Deputies, assisted by M. de Lamartine, sander the direction of Gount Mole. ‘it is said,” adds the National, “that this party will command 30 votes in the Chamber of Deputies, and are determin- ed to give a strong opposition to the Government in conjunction with M. Thiers’ friends and the other fractions of the ancient opposition.” It is added that the Cabinet is much shaken by the appearance of this new enemy, which would present itself with the pretensions to arrange all questions of internal and external poliey upon which the present Ministers are said to sleep. pal The Constitutional of Barcelona states that a uienant of the rebel Cabecilla Grau had presented himse'f to the authorities of Vich, and claimed the benefit of the amnesty. He likewise tendered his services tothe Government, which were accepted, and he was actually sent outwith a detachment of troops to scour the district of Taradel!, which was infested by histormer companions. Another of the rebels narued Pedro Mur Vizcarre, was executed at Cervera, on the Queen’s birthday, to the annoyance of the wiberal population of the town. According to a letter from Girona of the Mth inst., it was the intention of General Zurbano to grant an amnesty to all the individuals detained in the prigons of the province for having given shelter or assistance to the rebel. A Paris letter repeats that M. Salamanca had from the ex-Queen Regent nearly unlimited power to negotiate with the house of Rothschild a loan of 40,000,000 reals. The matter will not, however, be decided until the meeting of the Cortes The Madrid journals of the 7th are alive on the ‘ tof a commercial treaty with England. The Madrid Beo of the 8th expreases considerable tears of an impending dissolution of the Cortes, and de- precates such a measure. Turkey. Letters from Constantinople of the 27th ult. con- firm the Previous accounts of the recognition of the new Prince of Servia, and announce that the firman for the oa of the reigning Prince of Wallachia, had been forwarded to Bucharest. Advices from Alexandria to the 24th ultimo, reiterate the fact of the Syrian revolt. This news ap ears to have convinced the British commander-in- chief inthe Mediterranean of the necessity of send ing a naval force once more to the East. The Howe with the flag of Sir F. Mason, was to bend sails for Salarms on the 7th, and the Incenstant and Van- guard were to follow immediately, The ships com- posing the force are provided with five months pro- vision). The Turkish Government have displaced Joseuf Pacha, Governor of Tipole, for not restraining the conduct of the Albanians, to whose repeated outrages the insurrection is meinly attributable Australia, We have received advices trom Sydney, New »ctors, with a request’that it ean South Wa 0 vorably of the pro} oral in those colonies. The importation of goods was fall- ing offto an extent that had never been anticipated Very large salesof manufactured goods had been etlected, and the market had an improved tendency The Corn Market, however, was rather flat Advices have been received trom the Cape of Good Hope on the 9th mber, by which we learn that successes achieved by Lieut. Col. Cloete, in the pacification of the Boers, had called ferth the warmest commendation of Sir George Napier.— The public had also testified their anxiety to ac knowledge the service rendered to their country, by presenting Mr. Cleote with a piece of plate. The pro- ceedings on the frontier, however, are scareely viewed in so satisfactory a light. The Lieut. Go- vernor was on a visit to the chiefs in Caffreland, to bring them to terms respecting the loss of 2150 head of cattle and 240 horses, stolen from the frontier farmers since April last. Itis hinted that he will not be successful, and trom the statements quoted of the manner in which the chiets waived their respon- sibility in the business, it appears doubtful whether they will not be inclined to resist any attempt which may be made to enforce compliance. An open out- break is not expected ; the Natal expedition is held to be a lesson too recent to have escaped the ob:er- vation of the Caffres, Chinge In China since the arrival of reimforcements, Sir Henry Pottinger appears to go on with considera- ble viver; and although the war is in some respects called a “ be neering expedition” by the bucca- neers them: it begins to assume rather a for- midable aspe After the utter destruction of the Cha with all its batteri magazines, public | buildipgsjarme, and ammunitions, was effected, the expedition entered the great river Yang-tse-Keang, and at daylight in the morning of the 16th of June anchored before formidable fortifications on the shore In two hours the batteries of the enem: were silenced, when our seamen and marines land- ed, and before the troops could be disembarked, drove the Chinese out of them and captured the On the 19th the city of Shanghal submiued ¢ British after a gallant resistance, when its public buildings were immediately de-troyed, and granaries given upto the pillage of the nutives. Such is the state of affairs in China, and much dis- satisfaction is now expressed in this country with the entire proceedings in the East. All parties heartily wish for a settlement of affairs both in In- China. dia_an and result of the conflict is published ular, by her Majesty’s Plenipoten- tiary in China, from which we condense as follows: After destroying the batteries, magazines, and barracks, and other publie buildings, as well as or- dinances, arms and ammunition; the troops were re- embarked, and the expedition quitted their post. The Chinese authorities had erected immense lines of works to defend the entrances of both rivers and seem to have been so confident of their ability to repel us, that they permitted a very close recon- noisance to be made in two of the small steamers by their Excellencies the Naval and Military Com- manders-in-Chief on the Mth inst. ; and even cheer- ed and encouraged the boats which were sent inthe same night to lay down buoys to guide the ships of war to their allotted positions of attack. It appears almost miraculous that the casualties should not have been much greater, considering how well the Chinese served their guns. The Blonde frigate had fourteen shot in her hull; the Sesostris steamer eleven; and all the shsps engaged more or less. The loss on the part of the enemy is supposed to have been about eighty killed, and a proportionate number wounded. * On the 19th two mere batteries close to the city of Shaugh-hai, opened their guns on the advanced division of the light squadron, but, on receiving a couple of broadsides, the Chinese fled, and the bat- teries, which contained 48 guns, 17 of them brass, were instantly occupied, and the troops took posses- sion of the city, where the public buildings were destroyed, and the extensive government granaries given to the people, “The Chinese high officers and troops are sup- posed to have fled in the direction of the cities of Soochow, Wangchoofoo, and Nankin. The results of this victory have been remarkable. The Mandarins in the two most fertile provinces of China, were ac, alarmed lest: Wang chow- Foe and Nankin should be taken and sacked, and the mouth of the great canal seized. They senta flying express for a son or some other relation of the Howgqua, the old Hong merchant of Canton, in or- der to interpret between them and the English.— They exhibited a wish to make terms, but whether with the object of merely gaining time, does not appear certain. The approach of the expedition to the mouth of the great canal, and the dangers that threaten Nan- kin, would, it was thought, induce the Emperor to make an equitable arrangement, but doubts were still entertained of his being exa: tly informed of the truth. The efforts of the Chinese authorities to make resistance have hitherto been very great. A. proclamation issued by the Emperor in the begin- ning of June, breathes most decided hostility to the barians,” but does net brag of the valor of his generals and soldie This proclamation, it ought to be remarked, 1s dated prior to the attack on Shang-hai. ‘The first event worthy of notice that occurred af- ter the departure of the Acadia, on the 4th ins‘ant, was the arrival of the Overland Mail from India and China, the news by which was received in Lon- don on banat 4 week, and which is not unimpor- tant, inasmuch as we are informed of two impor- tant movements made by the British troops, and the clearing up of the doubts that previously extsted as to the line of policy intended to be pursued by Lord Ellenborough. Candabas was finally evacuated by General Nott on the 8th of August, after all the spare Commissariat and arsenal stores were de- stroyed, and the powder magazine blown up. The force consisted of about 17,000 men, with twenty- one guns of various calibre. ‘ These took the way to Guznee, accompanied by about the same number of camp followers. The supplies were sufficient for forty days, and trans- ported by about 8,000 camels, besides bullocks and asses, the whole train covering a space of twelve miles Thisdivision was destined to take the place of the unfortunate garrison of Cabul The distance to Cabul was 318 miles, and of this it was said they Had) epomiionattes 150 miles, and arrived at Moo- kool. General England also left Caudahar on the Sth, and proceeded towards Quettah with 4,000 Ep and campfollowers, including the sick and wounded of the army, and nearly 10,000 beasts of burthen. At Quettah they were to remain till the 10th of September, and then gradually move down the Bolan Pass in separate divisions. At Jeilabad, General Pollock had begun his moves towards Cabul, and reached Gundamunk on the 23d of August. Mahomed Akbar is said to have been so much enraged by the report of General Pollock’s advance while treaties were Pending, as to murder Captain ‘Troup with his own hand, but this obtains no credit. Another rumor worthy of mention is, that Abkar Khan had fled with all his Pi yte tes from Cabul to Bameean, where he intended to confine them in an accessible fort nearly seventy miles distant. The cholera had made its appearance among the British troops, and many had died The Darcantilo news bronght by the Overland Mail is disheartening in every respect. European goods were selling at various prices, and the trade of the country was not sufficient to employ the nu- merous ships that had arrived out seeking employ- ment, many of which would not earn enough to pay the wagesof the sailors. At the same time the de- struction of the Indige erop, and the failure of the extensive mercantile house of Briggs, Thurturn & Co., of London, must affect credit injuriously, and entail serious embarrassments on many other firms in India.

In the yarn market a considerable amount of business hes been done for Germany. Previous rates have consequent- ly been readily given,but no advance can be quoted. Gen- erally speaking, the market, without being at all anima. rm and; healthy; and, from the general absence of stock, seems likely to continue so. Rocu) A fair demand for goods, at low prices. In the wool market, the dealers complained. of having little to do; the manufacturer purchasesas if he expected low prices, and indeed this article is better to buy than it was a short time ago. Huppersrtecp—There has been an exceedingly dull market to-day for all descriptions of goods. Last week certain kinds of fancy woollens were in eager request,and it was dithoult to supply the demand; to-day they are mostadrug. The wool market is very quiet, the atten- tion of the trade being directed to the approaching sales in Liverpool and London. Hatirax—There is no decided change in the market, either as to demand er prices, and Dut little doing on fo- reign account. Braprorv—In merinos little doing. The fancy trale continues extremely low, and many manufacturers are abandoning the profitless business. Astwear, Nov. 7.—Coffee continues to be in little or no qreuest, and during the last eight days no sales worth re- porting occurred.

Rourx, Nov. 4.—Since the last fortnight business with us went from bad to worse, in which, however, there is nothing to wonder at, as at the present season of the year there is a stagnation felt in all mercantile affairs. Most of our Print manufacturers have ceased to work. Cotton Twist, it is true, remains dear, but meets with little de- mand.’ Calicoes, as long as printed goods find no buyers, most aecessarily continue in the same neglected state— Alsatia Calico, however, which had declined to 4Ic, has got up again to 42,at which price some important sales were effected. Hamavna, Nov. 4—Brazil Coffee this week was in active request, and 7000 bags Rio found buyers, ordinary at 2} to 3}sch, good ordinary colored at 3 13-17ths to 4}, fine ordinary at 4}d to 444, and fine, fine ord. at 4fd to 5jd; 400 bags old Laguayra 4} obtained; and new fine fine ord. 6to6lsch. Of unrefined Sugar at fully as high prices as paid the previous week, the following sales were effect- ed : 1500 boxes brown and yellow Havana, the former at 3} to 44, and the latter at 4} to 5} grot ; 160 chests fine middling white Bahia at 5{ to6grot ; 120 do inferior do at Sto 6} grot ; 120 brown do at $f to 4}; 90 chests coarse brown Pernambueo at 3] ; and 400 baskets grey Java at 4 7.26ths grot. The transactions in Cotton were confined to trifles, and the total salesof the month amounte! to 80 bales New Orleans at 5} sch , 60 Georgia at the same price ; 40 St. Domingo at 6}; 214 Surat at 3§a3); and 100 bales Madras at 4} sch; against which from the Ist Jan, upto ultime October were imported 56,833 bales of all de- scriptions. Whale Oil and Tallow quite the same as be- fore. Disposable Zinc 18 marks, and on Spring delivery 17m Bto 12. Exchange on London 13m 8, short 13m 9}. Carourra, Sept.9.—British Co'ton Piece Goods.—The sales in many of our leading staples have been very hea- vy ; the pressure for money, however, and the want of rain in the upper provinces, have caused a further depres sion, and, with unusual): re a pa the way, still lower prices may be fairly anticipated. White Longcloth and Shirtings aredown 2to4 annas, with a certainty, asthe up country season draws nearer to aclose, of declining still further. Gray Shirtings have again been sold largely at a further reduction of 4 to 6 annes ; 40 inch 60 to 64 reeds cannot now be quoted at more than 4-10 to 4-14 Compamy’s rupees Piha ite and Gray Jaconets remain steady, and the medi- um qualities, we believe, are remunerating. Lappets, scarfs, book muslins, mulls, and other Scotch fabrics con- tinue in limited request, and prices are generally discou- raging. Trinted and Colored Goods—Prints of all kinds could scarcely bein a worse position than at present. Prices are rable, and as the season is well advanced, no move- ment can be looked for. Turkey red plain clothe, 72 reeds, are still saleable at very fair prices. ‘Twills, on the other hand are down 2 to 3 pixces per yard. Imports of all kinds, last month, were 502 pkgs. Woollens—A limited business has been done, and a re-, duction must be noticed of 2 to 3 annas per yard upon the current qualities of striped and saved lists. The imports last month were 86 packages. White Mule Twist—The sales have again been to acon- siderable extent; but a large portion must be attributed, we believe, to the circumstance of holders generally being anxious to realize. A decline of fully two pieces per mo Jath ult. Copper—in this metal, transactions have been limited, in consequence of holders being unwilling to accept of the low prices offered. Tron—The market for this metal has been very dull du. ring the past month, and we have no alteration to notice in prices; the imports last month were: fat, square and pes 27,871 maunds ; sheet, 5191 maunds ; hoop, 830 maunds. eaicciere nantes nies Court vor tar Correctioy or Ernors.—Mon- day, December 5.—No. 12.

In 1929, Crasson was induced to purchase 300 shares of Harlem railroad stock, on four months time, and for it as security that he would pay the balance, he gave 60 shares, of which he was actually possessed, valued in market at 50 percent. When the time came, he ‘vas unableto pay the money, and McGimpsey sold the shares which had been given him ¥as security, being then only worth 40 cent.

This at- tempt to gain the dominion of the seas has failed, as every attempt will, I trust, hereafter fail. An American repre- sentative encounters little hazard in asserting the just of his country. He will find a response, as | have done, in the hearts of his countrymen, anda reward in their approbation, which Governments can neither give nor take away. We, who have put the ocean between ourselves and our native land, can, in my opinion, best appreciate the blessings which Providence has conferred ‘ upon our beloved country. Without seeking to decry the institutions of the old world, or to describe its condi tion as worse than it is, ao American can fail to be struck by the immense superiority, in all the elements of human happiness which our confederated Republic presents over the eastern hemisphere. He who leaves our shores fora residence abroad, and does not return a wiser and a better citizen, will have looked upon life with as little wis- dom as profit. The questions social and political, which agitate these long and densely populated regions, are questions of lite and death. Antagonist principles are in contact, liable at any moment to break into fierce ac- tion, and which in their operation may, and probably will affect the whole frame of society.

We have received by the Columbia steamer, from our correspondent in Paris, a full report of the splen- did dinner, given by the Americans in Paris, to Gen. J.ewis Cass, on the termination of his displomatic mission at the Court of §t. Cloud, and on the eve of his return to the United;States. Is there to be no public dinner got up to the General in New York? The following is the report :— DinneR To GENERAL Cass.

Tha roads at the west, particularly the other side of Columbus, Ohio, are in sucha state that the travel has become very dangerous, and portions of the route have even been travelled by some of the mem- bers on foot. This will account for the absence of several, as most of the members from Kentucky, Tennessee, &c. come by this. route, owing to the navigation of the Ohio being wholly obstructed. The House had a rich treat this morning, and for a short time there was a glorious prospect of fun. — In my letter of yesterday, I mentioned thet Mr. Everett, of Vermont, had given notice of a resolu- tion which he intended to offer, rescinding the 21st rule, 80 as to admit abolition petitions. This was a mistake, as Mr. Adams was the author of the whole, and entitled to all the credit. morning, after the jourual was read Mr. Adams rose, and offered his resolution, which brought Mr. Wise to his feet, and for a moment every one expected to see some magnificent demon- strations which would throw into the shade every- thing that has yet been heard on the snbject of southern nigeery, whiggery and chivalry. Mr. Wise, however, was discreet, and did nothing except pro- test against the reception of the resolution, owing, probably, to his having a bad esld, but looked dag- gers at the old boy from Massachusetts, He conten- ded thatthe resolution was not in order, inasmuch as the object of it was to luce disorder, but the Speaker thought differently, and Mr. Wise gave way, whereupon little Mr. Weller, from Obio, mo- ved itbe laid upon the table, which was determined in the negative, 85 voting in favor of it, and 98 againstit. Mr. Botts, of Va., recording his name among the noes—a singular movement—indicating that Mr, B. is read: fot any sort of a law that promi- ses to yield political capital. ‘ The previous question on the resolution was then moved by Mr. Everett of Vermont, and the House sustained it, by a vote of 84 in the affirmative and 7Ain the negative. The question on the final “adop- tion of the resolution then came up, when the vote stood 84 in favor of its adoption and 94 against it. So the resolution was lost. While it was pending, you have no idea of the seneation that prevailed in the House, which was heightened by the course that a portion of the de- mocratic delegation from New York took upon the subject, all of them, with the exception of your friend Fernando Wood, who goes for the death for Ca'houn and chivalry, voting against laying it on the table. There is something in all this. Nous verrons. | There will be a singular intermingling of political partieshere during thesession. ‘The Captain begins to fear that little Van of Kinderhook is getting too strong, and will get some of the whig votes. He is busy, therefore, making out a candidate for the whigs, as it will never do to let them go for Van Buren.

Mr. Fisher is the United States Postmaster for the Wail street Pott office—is « confidential ad. viser of the Postmaster General—is the leader of the “ third party” in this city, and a member of the Military Hall Committee. We suppose that, in these latter days, no man is qualified to take care of the revenues of the government, but he who cannot manage his own—and in this respect Mr. Fisher is most admirably suited for the responsible post he fille. Can any body tell us on whose recommendation Captain Tyler was induced to appoint such men, on such principles? Fifty dollars reward will be given for the information, and a knife and plate in the Kitchen Cabinet for six months, three days, five hours and twenty-five minutes, exactly.

We assure them that it is strictly correct. On one occasion the ‘ Courier concern” made the like objections to advertise with the usual notice for Mr. Charles Braham, because his bills and adver- tisements were printed.at the Tribume office.
