More or tHe Romance—Captain TYLER ON Joun Mrvon Berrs.--The publication of the cele- brated Letrer of John Botis, giving certain scenes e of Tylerism,” which took place and Brown’s Hotel, Washing- ton, in IS41, created a great sensation and a great sugh in this neighborhood. The mouth of every politician, whig or locotoco, is yet stretched from eartoear. Even the litte dogs about the Park Fovntain grinned with pure enjoyment at the nch descriptions, which put Dickens or Walter Scott to the blush. We are very sorry, however, to find in the “ Ma- disonian”several additional statements,which some- what impair the credibility of John Botts’ sketches notwithstanding his affidavit, price one shilling, which was affixed to the letter. John Jones puts forth the following articles on the other side:— [From the Medisonian.] Steering witn THe Vice Presipent.—We are told Mr. Botts makes oath that he slept in the same bed with Mr. Tyler the night before the inauguration of General Har. rison, and that they talked till after midnight. ‘This may be true. Every nook and corner in the city was cram- med at thattime. Every bed contained at least two sleep: ers. Strangers met from all quarters. Under these ci cumstances it may be true that Mr. Tyler permiited Mr. Botts to share his Mr. ts being a Virginian. But is it not more than probet le thut all the revelations said by Mr. Botts to have heen made to him by Mr. Tyler, were the mere phantasms of atroubled brain? Had net Mr. Botts been taking wine during the day? Did he not have the headache at night? \vavy aman will ponder over the things seen and heard in a dream, till at length he will swear they were realit We have seen men rise from their beds with eyes wide staring, who swore t were surrounded with devils, notwithstanding the Doctor's assertions to the contrary. He (Mr. Botts) is represented as having charged the President publicly in his late electioneering campaign, as heaving said to him on the third day of the extra session— ‘That he meant to be acandidete, not {only for four, but for vight years from the 4th ot Merch, °45, thus making the whole term of his service twelve years ; and then Phat the President had offered him any office in his ei provided he (Botts) would sustain him in his aspira- tions ; and then That be, John Minor Botts, from this time ceased to visit the President. So far as the first specification is concerned, we are au- thorized to say, thatat the time at which this invented conversation of Mr. John Minor Botts is said by him to have occurred, the President had no intention of Veing a candidate for the Presidency iw 1844. The President was only prevented from intredncing an annunciation te this etlect, in his Inaugural Address, by considerations of ic weight, and would have mode it in his se , ifhis then Cabinet had not urgently opposed it, upon the question being solemnly submitted to them So far as the second specification is concerned, we are authorized to sa t the President never made,to Mr. John Minor Botts any offer of any office, of any sort, or nf any character, st any time or at any place, for any pur- pose or object whatever. And, So for va thethird specification is concerned, we are authorized to say, that so far from Mr. John Minor Botts having ceased to ‘visit the President from and after the third day of theextra session, he repeatedly called at the White House, until be pursued a course which precluded the President from having any further communication with him. That transaction was this: During the pen- dency hefore the Senste of Mr. Clay’s Bank bill it was ascertainet tnat Messrs. Merrick, Preston, Rives, and Archer, world not sustain it without the insertion of euch @ mo 1 as would reconcile it with the consti- f the President, and with their opposi- sod in a minority. Atthis juncture of affairs Mr. © Botts called upou the President, with a paper to be such dment, which he said had p by himself, and thought would remove all yon the subject of a bank. John Minor Botts the positive if the amend i not meet his appro- 1d be destroye ver more heard of, stantapeously that he would lause. Where- promise to des- ou, Mr. John Mi (aud retired: a uatilatew days afterwerds, when the whig press is for having fallen The treachery in the con@uct of Mr. John Minor Botts became ren’, that the President ever afterwards refused to bim either hy word or in writing charge: of Mr. Botts remind us of one which he ainst the President at an early period of the con- vee) Mr. Tyler and the ultra whigs. The hon- man then stated that, while Mr. Tyler was ‘n’s Hotel, acting as President of the Senate, shor ly after the inauguration of General Harrison, he waited upon Mr. Tyler at his rooms in company with another lemon, aud Mr, Tyler did then and there to them de. nsel{ in favor of s Benk of the United States. We er, by authority, denied this charge before—but ow authorized to say that Mr. Botts, in making su jeclaration, attirmed what wes faise iu every par- i contradictions, 1t would ap- in spite of the affidavit, John Botts has t magination forthe facts. This is, however, very natural ina man of genius. foundation of the ‘ Romance” is fact—the s ornaments furnished by John Botts. This is say with all men of original genius, from Ho- ner down to John Botts. although Jehn Jones, who is now owned by n Tyler, hook and line, contradicts John Botts, who happens to be the property of Mr. Clay, n several particulars, such as those about the bank, he public lands, the three terms—yet most material admissions are made, which establish the “ democracie” of Captain Tyler beyond a rea sonable doubt. rst, itis admitted that Captain Tyler and John Botts talked, swore, and sleptin the same bed, uuder the very same blacket, in Brown’s Hotel, in Washington, on the 3d of March, 1841. John Jones d not deny this most important fact—a which establishes the equal rights principles and mocracie” of Captain Tyler beyond a question. Chis is precisely the same way in which the “young democracie” sleep together in certain places before an election—it is called “colonization in New York, bur it has not yet been christened in Washington.— We have also every reason to believe that this de- mocratie practice in Captain Tyler, sharing his very bed with John Botts, has given as terrible offence to the whigs asit will be approved by the locofocos. tain Tyler now stands high in the affections of alter. lhe next point of importance is the truth or false- hood of the ornaments and trimmings of the dia- ogue, otherwise called “ profane swearing,” which rlards the conversation. In relation to this point, hn Tones does not say a word, and therelore does deny it. The swearing is, therefore, virtually nd constitutes another feature in the tain Tyler, that assimilates him to cofocos about Tammany Hall or the Pewter y before an election. be observed, therefore, that these remarka- ble cisclosures establish on the very best whig au- 1" y, under the sanction of an oath, price one shilling, the identity in the principles, habits, man- ners, language, even down to tite doings in the very bed room, between Captain Tyler and the ‘young democracie.”” We say nothing about the taste, or motives of John making such disclosures. According to th : of things or the conventional rule among gentieme propriety, or Botts in t would really appear that Botts had been induced zive the Captain such a! certificate, in’ return for the promise of some office or mission, Certainly no nsible, man—no gentleman of any tact—not en John Miner Botts—would make, to use the clastic language of the White House and Browne's Hotel, such “a d—d fool” of himself as Botts has done, without receiving something for it. We, therefore, nominate John Miner Botts, minister lenipotentiary to the mighty Jsiand of Barataria, there to negotiate a treaty with the immortal Sancho nua. Confirmed—go Tur Somers Case.—The de id vpon Commo- re Read and Captain Gwinn, to testify touchiag tate of the vote inthe Court Martial upon Com. mander Mackenzie,-was argued yesterday in Phila- delphia before Judge King, who will, in afew di «ive his decision 8 O& Mre Charles F. Miller has a petition before the Legisature of Connecticut for divorce, A Question to James R. Warrine.—We would reepecttully ask the able and worthy District Attor- ney, James R. Whiting, what is the reason that he has delayed the trial of the indictment against Mo- ses Y. Beach, for nearly four terms of the Court of Sessions? Was not that libel sufficiently wicked to require the prompt administration of the laws? Was there ever a libel in any country equal to it in atro- city? Has James R. Whiting permitted it to escape his notice? Is it the expectation of Miller’s end of the world, that is the cause of the delay? Do, tell. Danret Wansrer in Bavtimors.—We understand that Mr. Webster will attend a public dinner, to be given to him to-morrow evening in Baltimore. It is now generally supposed that on this occasion Mr. Webster will come forth in his old style, and defend his position with a power and force of intellect that will startle the whole nation. The important ques- tion putin Faneuil Hall, “ where shall I go ?” will now receive a full and complete answer, anda va- riety of mysterious matters will be eleared up, and made to shine as the light of day. The speculations and rumors on the position and purposes of Mr. Webster in leaving the cabinet, have been numerousand contradictory. One was that Captain Robert Tyler thought his continuance in the cabinet was a bar between Captain Tyler and the embraces of the “ young democracie” of New York. This notion was generated by Noah and other fools. Another was, that Mr. Webster retired from the cabinet only to assume a higher position, in the negotiation of anew commercial treaty with England. This was plausible. But the most proba- ble of any is contained in one of the paragraphs of John M. Botts’ famous letter recently published, as fellows :— On the same day [third day of the Extra Session) and during the same conversation, I was further informed of Mr. Tyler’s views in reference to Mr. Clay as his suc- cessor, by an invitation to unite with him in making Mr. Webster the “strong man of the South” for the Presiden- cy. ‘He ts the man,” seid he, “for us; and if you will unite with me, we can make him the popular man with all the Southern people.” To which I replied, that “I should be glad to see many of the prejndices then existing in the Southern country against Mr. Webster, removed, and should like to see him President, hut all in good time, Mr.Tyler! his time has not yet come—there is one before him with far higher and stronger claims on the South and the whole country— and Mr. Webster must wait his time”—John M. Botts? iter. By this singular revelation it would appear that Daniel actually leaves the cabinet to become a candi- date for the Presidency—and that he is the candidate, and nominee of Captain Tyler himself. This puts an entire new face upon things, and gives the deepest interest to the movements of Mr. Webster. It would appear, therefore, that John Tyler, John C. Calhoun, John C. Spencer and Dan- iel Webster, are all starting from different points, in a’broad field of operations against Clay on the one side, and Van Buren on the other. JohnC. Spen- cer in this State, with the whole patronage of the General Government, will make a terrible inroad upon the affections of the ‘‘young demecracie” and the power of Mr. Van Buren. He isa mighty mind, and will be felt to the inmost recesses of Linden- wold. Already the whole democratic Corporation, including Alderman Purdy, the good old jovial “Tronsides” of the party, are beginning to raise their caps for Captain Tyler, and to prepare to give iim a great reception. This is Mr. Spencer's doings, In the South, Mr. Calhoun is operating hot and heavy and Mr. Webster goes back to New England, to begin a new game, and create a new organization of parties. We are on the eve of sudden revolutions among politicians and parties. Mr. Webster's speech in Baltimore will be the first gun in the general war— and as it will be very interesting, we shall send a corps of reporters to Baltimore, and expect to be able to receive it by express, and to publish it on Saturday morning. So look out. Joun Jones tur Sgconp, on Tue Donkey oF THE Wasaincton Giroze.—Mr. James E. Harvey, who was ¢o violently assailed by John Jones the second, of the Washington Globe, has published a correspondence he has ‘had with Secretary Spencer, by which it appearsthat the integrity, honesty, and respectability of Mr. Harvey are unimpeachable. Mr. Harvey intends to commence an action at Jaw against John Jones ot the Globe—alias ‘ Young Blair’—making two cases on hand co early in the season. Recerrion or THE PresipENt.—We understand that the ‘“‘democracie” of the Corporation, Tam- many Hall,Pewter Mug, &c. intend to give Capiain Tyler, in his progress next month, one of the most splendid receptions that ever was given te a Presi- dent in New York. There will be a perfect abandon on the subject. The whigs will stand aloof and laugh. We would advise Mr. Van Buren to look well to his house and his household troops. They are in danger. Mrs. Surron’s Fartweur Benerir.—This eve- ning Mrs. Sutton, one of the best vecalists and opera singers that ever visited this country, gives in the Tabernacle her farewell concert and benefit this eveving, previous to her departure for Italy. She will be assisted by Mr. Bley, a most superb violinist, from Paris, one of the best in the country —ulso by other artists, whose names will be found in the advertisements and bills. Her little daughter will also make her last appearance. Mr. Frank Brown, so well known in this city, also sings; and he may rest assured that his numerous friends will not fail him. Mrs. Sutton ought to have an overflowing concert. Besides talents of a very high order, she has given away her services rnost liberally to several benevo lent societies, who ought to exert on this occasion, and testify to her merits and benevolence. This will positively be her last appearance in this city tor many years to come ; and no one will let pass this only opportunity of hearing, for the last time, one whose name will, ere long, be again borne on the pinions of fame thronghout Europe. Hon. Joun M. Nives.—This gentleman is and has been, for some time past, in a very feeble state of mind and body, owing, it is said, to recent do- mestic afflictions and pecuniary reverses. We should not be surprised if his resignation as United States Senator should be tendered to the Legisla- ture before its adjournment. Clty Intelligence. Comine tur Dror Game.—Yesterday afternoon as officer Cockefair was passing through the Park, near the Fountain, he esped two boys endeavoring to come “the drop” with a pocket book, in order to catch a countryman, and when the thing was fairly set he stepped forward and arrested both and tin ed them to the police office. On searching the poc et book it was found to contain about $200 in coun- terfeit notes of the Globe and other banks The boys gave their names as James Willis and Jacob Graham, and not giving a full account of themselves were committed for examination. More Drownev Bopizs.—The body of a man whose name is unknown, was found yesterday at Pier No. 8, E. R., and that_of a colored woman at the foot of Fifth street. They will both remain at the dead house in the Park during the day for re- cognitio Cmp Kirtep by Laupanom.—A child aged about five years, belonging to Isaac Manning, of Charles street, was killed yesterday by drinking laudanum from a vial that had been left at the house. Pa- rents should be more careful, Sprctat. Seesions.—Iin the Special Sessions yes- terday morning,Louis Dimpfel, charged with draw- ing a dirk knife on officer Baker, while he was in the act of arresting him for assault and battery, com- mitted on a Marshall, was sent to the city prison for thirty days. Unknown Man.—The body of a man whose name could not be ascertained, was found yesterday morn- ing at the feot of Courtlandt street, in theslip. He was dressed intwo pairs of satinet ee striped ehirt and roundabout, and appeared to be about 30 years of age. Correcrion.—In the Herald bearing date 8th Oc- tober, 1842, we reported a trial before Recorder Tallmadge, against William McAlheny, for kee- ing a disorderly house, on which occasion we sta- ted that we understood O'Donnell, a witness in the case, would be indicted for keeping a disorder- 'y house and disturbing the neighborhood. We have since been fully sutistied the above statement was erroneous, and that'no such intention was ever en- bd either by the District Attorney or any one else, Erte Railroad. Dear Bennetr:— Your Herald of the I6th inst. notices the tenacity with which Bowen and others held on to the New York and Erie Railroad Company. This has long been a matter of surprise to many, but I think that if you were to put a few queries in relation to the true point at issue, between the officers of this com- pony, and the public, that the reason of this tenacious olding over would become quite plain. This company has received from the people $3,- 000,000 for seats purpose. This money has been expended. ‘ow the point at issue is, has it been ex- pended for the purpose for which it was appropriated, viz: the construction of the New York and Erie Railroad. | : 4 Doubts in relation to the expenditure of this money has existed in the public mind; hence the in- vestigating committe authorized by our State Legis- lature. The report of thiscommittee says that, ‘‘no specific charge of fraud or mismanagement on the part of this company has been aes any indivi- dual,” but that, “ vague insinuations and general allegations of something wrong” existed in the community ; the charge then was not in regard to the Co mIpeAY in its collective caperaiy mie thata sys- tem of financial pipe laving had been introduced by some one, the aim of which was to divert the public money trom its appropriate channel. An examina- tion of the report of this committee to the Assembly will show that the State loan was altogether lost aight of ; and that said committee on being told that 450 miles of railroad was nearly completed, they im- mediately concluded that, “* instead of being liable to censure,the company was entitled toapprobation ” But has this satisfied the public mind? Ne! and the sam? insinuations, though perhaps not quite so “vague” still exist ; and if the present company do not wish that what 1s alleged by these rumours, vi fraud and mismanagement, to rest with them; it is their duty to lay a complete statement before the public, one that will show the purposes for which the whole of the three millions have been expended. All the reports, including that to the Legislature, are deficient in this respect. 3 The only statement that we have which throws any light on this subject is that which appeared in the ‘Morning Express,” April 24, 1843, signed ‘‘One who Knows.” This, like all others, only tells half the stery; yet we are inclined to think it tells more than the writer intended ; and as we think it impor- tant, would direct the attention of the public to what it asserts. We consider this statement offi- cial, as it emanates from the office at Piermont, and was written by ‘one who knows” more than he dare make public. . A “One who Knows” informs the public that over $5,000,000 has been expended on the work, He then goes on to account for the manner in which it has been expended thus. The eastern division is now finished, the expen- diture being $1,805,358 88. eo. ‘The expenditure. on the third division, $226,- 949 7. : cs The expenditure on the fourth division, $799,- 581 02. Total amount expended in the construction of the New York and Erie Railroad, $2,831,889. 67: Deduct this from $5,000,000, and there is $2,368,- 110 33 to be accounted for. {n regard to the se- cond and fifth divisions, the expenditure is not giv- en. Now why is this? Why are these garbled statements given to the public? {tis well known thatjthere has not been $200,000 expended on the second and fifth divisions. Who received the pub- lic money ? “One who Knows” further informs the public that the eastern division now in operation earns at least $30,000 per annum. If this 1s the case, why are the mechanics and laborers deprived of their wages? It is well known in Piermont that there is now due the workmen for labor over $5,000. And this, be it understood, for work done since the road was put in operation. ie But I must conclude, promising thatshould Bow- en, Seymour & Co. still hold over, and the Compa- ny refuse to give the information now required b the public in relation to the three millions, we will oc to lay befere your readers a history of the New York and Erie Railroad, showing the position of Piermont, and the probable location of Dunkirx, as laid down by the consulting engineer,Miller,to be within five miles of Ramapo valley. Before closing we would allude to one or two im- portant facts : That one half million dollars has not been expended on this road west of Goshen—that the remaining two and a half millions has been ex- pented on the eastern division, or has otherwise to e accounted for—the money raised by the Com- pany we will notice at a future time—that all re- ports given by the engineers west of Goshen ere plain and easily understood, and we therefore sup- pose, correct—that all the reports made in relation to the east division are vague and obscure, and can- not be understood ; and further, it was the intention of their authors that they should not be understood. We here refer to all the statements and schedules in relation to the eastern division,given in the State re- port No. 284, May 1841. We will notice one glaring example. The Com- pany were charged with employing an unusual num- ber of officers whose salary exceeded $600 per an- num. The schedule C. on page 34, professes to give the number of officers on the eastern division, and among a numerous array of names and occupations we find one chief engineer, Miller, at $4,000 per annum; six resident engineers, including H. C. Seymour ; two assistant resident engineers ; four chief assistant engineers; nine assistant engineers. and eight sub-engineers ; six superintendents and twodraftsmen. Now we wish it understood, that these engineers were all employed on the eastern di- vision, 46 miles long ; noton a road 450 miles long, as reported by Wm _ B. M’Clay. The reports of the Susquehannah division we know to be correct; they bear the evidence of truth upon their face. Not so these statements of the eastern division. When the engineers of the compan amined upon oath, C. were ex- Stuart, Chief Engineer of the Susquehanneh division, answers promptly with a schedule, showing the number of persons em- ployed on the division, the time they were in the company’s employ,their salary per annum, and whole amount paid. : _H. C. Seymour, Chief Engineer of the eastern di- vision, answers in his deposition, that he does not know how many persons have been employed at the rate of $600 per annum. Here Wm. B. Maclay’s interrogatory was evaded by the have been. And it will be found on examination, that this evasion has been adopted inall that relates to the eastern division. Schedule C. was drawn up un- der the direction of Mr. Bowen ; but why he should intertere with the duty of the engineers of this di- vision, and not of the others, remains to be ex- plained. One word more. We are told that the company is now under a new direction ; yes, and what is the company? bankrupt without resources, without credit, and the whole direction of the eastern divi- sion yet rests with Bowen, Pierson, Blanch, and Seymour. Tn the fall of 1840, George E. Hoffman, Bea. was removed from the work as Superintendent, in order to accomplish which, the contract with Dr Double- day was cancelled, which,together with the destrue- tion of machinery, and the delay in opening the road, cost the company over $50,000. In the fall of 1841, If. C. Seymour was appointed Superintendent of the eastern division by James Bowen, contrary to the wishes of all the stock- holders in Rockland county. Since that time, all the sub-engineers of the eastern division have been maintained ia idleness on balf pay. About this time, Mr. M. Williamson, a, good sound dersocrat, was removed from the office of Collector at Piermont ; and Henry Ayers, an active whig, was sent from New York to fill the vacancy. In the spring of 1812, during the Glentworth ex- citement, a meeting was held at Piermont by the stockholders and contractors, to take measures to remove Mr. Bowen trom the Presidency. ‘The meeting was addressed by Judge Blawvelt of Pier- mont, who recommendeé a call for Mr. Bowen’s re- signation. This was resolved upon, and the meet- ing adjourned to meet the following week. In the mean time secret measures were taken to prevent & further discussion of the matter. Mr. Bowen pro- mised to resign, and the coatractors we believe were yut on half pay. So the affair was hushed up. More anon, Yours, From Rockanp. Court of Common Pleas, Before Judge Ulshoeftvr.

There isno mistaking this laughter-moving fellow’s qua- lity ; he is a perfect gem—one that the more we see the more we admire. We know not if his peculiar polish proceeds from the rubs of criticism, or from some other cause, in which his professional reputa- tion is more immediately concerned ; but this we do know, (taking the modern poetical licence to slide gracefully out of one simile into another,) that Mr. H. is a “bright particular star,” and shines nightly for the gratification oi all, but especially for the pleasure of those who desire to be known as “star gazers.” As he will be invisible in this latitude after this week—not being one of the “fixed” bodies— those who wish to bask in his mellow lustre will do well to improve the opportunity. He appears to- night, surrounded by a galaxy of minor orbs and Boardof visors.

In the course of his romarks, he proposed that the public officers, as the Comptroller for example, sheuld render their accounts monthly—so that no error, it it existed, could be kept con- cealed for alonger time than one month. The Mayor’s resolutions embraced some very important changes in the conduct of the Board, peg Oo pay Purdy wanted them printed, as he was not prepared to act upon them now. They were referred to a special committee. ‘The committee was composed of the Mayor, the Re- corder, and Alderman Purdy. The Mayor then introduced the subject of the form of a bond to be bes for the loan of the $20,000, recently voted for by this Board in relation to purchasing and leasing schoolhouses.

She is 300 feet long, elegantly fitted up, and if her speed should prove to be equal to her other qualities, she will be the greatest favorite on the river. As for her worthy Captain, he has long been known on the Hudson as one of the most gentle- manly fellows that ever walked a deck. The boat and her commander are well matched. Ick, Icke—Croron Cooter.—The Union Rock- land Lake lce Company turned out yesterday in splendid style, with twenty-one ice wagons. This new and extensive company hive erected on Rockland Lake the largest ice howse in the world, and it is capable of holding 15,000 tons of ice,which is full up to the very top of splendid ice ; and we ad- vise all who wish to be kept cool during the warm season, to make immediate application at their of- fice, 80 Wall street, corner of Front street, or at their Ice Ranges, at the foot of Duane street, jand also their depot at Brooklyn, between Fulton and South Ferries, Furman street.

Dear Bennett— Yesterday and to-day the weather has been ex- ceedingly “hot.” The hundreds of beautiful and elegantly dressed females, each armed with her parasol and fan, which may be seen from any of the upper stories in Chesnut street, far as the naked eye can reach, have a most dazzling and unique effect. Foreigners and strangers are arriving in shoals, and our hotels are filling fast. The ensuing summer promises to be a very fashionable one. Travel, of every description, has decidedly given indications of improvement. All kinds of bank stock have rapidly risen from depreciated rates, and we have less frequently, those thrilling com- pleints of distress among mechanics. A deal of interest is exhibited among “ money shavers,” “ absquatulators,” and others of that caste, arising out of the apprehension of Shipman, the probable result of his examination to-morrow, and the detection of the N. Orleans Custom House pil- ferers. They have been apprehended in Washington, and it is currently reported the disclosures which have been made relative to the passing of the can- celled notes, will involve several in this og who have heretofore been considered highly re- spectable.

Messrs. David Morgan and George C. Hatch, two of the San Antonio pri- soners, sho had escaped from the Castle ot Perote, have also arrived at New Orleans. : Mr. Southall, bearer of despatches to Mexico, had arrived at Vera Cruz when Mr. Crittenden left.— The Falmouth was in port awaiting the first pay- ment of the Mexican indemnity. The prevailing opinion in Mexico was that the payment would be effectuated. It ic confidently asserted that General Waddy Thompson was determined to demand_his passports and leave the country in the event of the non payment of the first instalment. Jt was also currently asserted that Santa Ana would be invested wlth the dictatorship of Mexico by the Junta. Sixty-two Texan prisoners were in Mexico, anong whom were Col. Fisher, Geo. Green, Geo. Van Ness, and Thomas Hatch, who were compelled ta work in the streets, and exposed to every kind of tyranical treatment. Very little hope of their release from captivity was entertained by their friends. f é Ee The accusation against President Houston, of sending a letter to Mexico, declaring the expedition of Colonels Green and Fisher unauthorized and not entitled to the benefits of the Mier capitulation, was fully borne out by evidence obtained in Mexico, and generally believed. & The Michigan City Gazette mentions the loss of tne sloop Erie and lives. The persons on board were all residents of Michigan City, except a Mr. Baird, from Washington County, New York, who, the Gazette understands, was travelling as agent for some of the iron works at Troy, The storm arose immediately after the Erie left port, but owing to her heavy freight and the bad harbor she was compelled to proceed.

The following ts from the Commercial of to-day :— “ Onto Loan.--We are requested and authorised to say, and from a source that cannot be mistaken, that the arti: cle in the Herald of this morning, in relation to the Ohio loan, is false in every particular.” The Commercial haa uttered a wilful falsehood at the dictation of some one as base as itself. We publishedsim- ply an extract from the law authorising the loan, and ad- vised the contractors to take advantage of ite provisions and sell their stock themselves, without trusting those who have made“ ducks and drakes” with the property of the State. If the law is false, it is not the only official falsehood that has issued from Ohio, by very many. A western paper, commenting on the estimate of the va- lue of the Canal lands offered in trust to the subscribers of the new Illinois Joan,states $10 per acre to be far too high. To our mind this displays a want of information on the subject. Over 100,000 acres of the same original lot of land have been sold, and in no instance at less than $8 per acre. Why the remainder, which is better situated, should not be worth $10 per acre on the completion of the canal, we are at a loss to know. ‘The following is a return of the corn-laden ships which entered Great Britain for the year ending Jinuary 5, 1943: Barrapsturrs IMrontED into F.NGLAND In 1842, Br. shij For. ships.

This, it will be remembered, was in April, after a year of such large imports as are represented in the above table. Wheat was, per quarter, 14} per cent dearer in London than at Paris, and 61 per cent dearer than in New York. Flour was 34} per cent dearer in London than in Paris, and 54 per cent dearer than in New York.— It will be taken into view thot this state of prices existed at the close of winter in New York, after the avenues o ¢ supply had been closed some months, and therefore usu- ally a period of high prices. Since then the rate has fallen, consequent upon the opening of the canals. The New York prices that we have quoted are at the rate of 95 cents per bushel for wheat, and $4.62} per barrel of 200 Ibs. The difference in price that the English poor have to pay for food above that of France and the United States, is about equivalent to the duty, amd appertans as well to provisions asto breadstufis. It is estimated that the value of bread and provisions consumed in England is $250,000,- 000 per annum ; 40 per cent on this is $100,000,000. This might be reduced one half by the proposed amelioration of the tariff in favor of American produce, which is to the effect that American wheat may be admitted into Canada, for grinding, at 38. per quarter, and the Flour made ad- mitted into Englend at 3s. per barrel. Thus, 5 quarters of wheat will pay 16s. duty, going into Canada, and will make 8 barrels of flour that will pay 248. going into Eng- Jand—iaking 39s. paid by 5 quarters, or 7s 9}4 per quor- ter at the highest rates of duty, or 4s. 7d. at the lowest rates, which is equivalent to 11 per cent on the cost of wheat here.

The result will not materially vary in going down the St. Lawrence. Now the great difficulty in this trade is the hazard incurred by the sliding scale of duty, which will be obviated in a great degree by the proposed change in the duties through Canada. ‘The result of the lato debate in the British Parliament wan, however, to the effect that the reductions in tariff would not be made, unless corresponding reductions are made on British goods in American ports. Sir Robert Peel, in his speech in favor of making the proposed re- duction a basis for commercial negotiation, referred to @ letter of Col. Torrens upon the subject. The letter was as follows :— “It infrequently asserted, not only at public meetings, but in the Houses of Parlioment, that in crder to inereseo he foreign demand for Brit we have mly to re~ mit our dutces upon foreign pri "This assertion might be correct, provided it were conformable to fact that the unconditional remission of duties,on our part, could present to foreign countries an inducement to miti- gate their tariffs, But an unconditional remission of im- port duties upon our part, could have no such effect.
