Murder of Charvis—Arrest and Confession of Mur. derers, §¢. Jaares Gornon Brrnetr, Esq.— Dear Sin— As there has been a number of rumors afloat re- § ing the murder and robbery of our friend the Mexican, Mr Charvis, by a band of desperadoes from this neighborhood, and as all things of this kiad grow by repetition, I have thought proper to give yon a plain unvarnished xccount of the particu- lars as they transpired, as accurately as they canbe given by an eye-witness. Mr. Charvis was met by fifteen men; about one hundred miles this side of Little Arkansas, on the Great Plains, and in the territory and under the ju- sisdiction of the United States. They took him from the wagon, and intended, they say, to let hira go; but from his having set down to write, they were fearful he might get word to his friends of what had taken place. So they came to the conclu- sion tomurder him To accomplish which, MeDa- nicl, the captain, shot at him, and after four shots had been fired, he fell rede His company consisted of six men, himself, and five servants, They released the servants, provided they would return to Santa Fe, which they agreed 10 do, knowing they would meet with a second par- ty comingin. They have met them, and are now within five days march of this place. 1 will now give you, as far as possible, the names of those concerned in taking Mr. Charvis, viz:— two McDaniels, senior and junior; two Sarsirs, senior and junior; two Browns, senier and junior; Dr. Pretontaine, of Westport, Wm. Mason, of Clay co., and a number of otners whose names | cannot now remember Seven have already been taken, most of whom have confessed, and the two McDaniels have been removed to St. Louis. The restare now in tee Independence prison, Mason was taken ona boat at this point, and at once confessed, as he was feartul he might come under Lynch law, which they are quite handy atin these lime stones. We are all in good spirits, and expect to be able to fight our way through to Santa Fe, and from thence to Chihuabu. = Yours, reepectfully. i P.

Harrisburga Political Focus—Politics in Pennsylva- nia—Governor Porter and State Improvemenis— Sheriff Porter— Captain} Tyler, Buchanan and Van Buren. ‘Next to your city, this town 1s the most fruitful source of intrigues and political movements of any spot perhaps in the Union. Though quiet just now upon the surface, there is a rapid current at the bottom of the stream of politics here. The Gover- nor, always intent upon the accumulation of the almighty dollars, is driving a splendid speculation, it is thought, in State stocks. A bill was passed at the late session of our legislature, authorizing the sale of portions of our public works, and the receip, of certificates of State stocks in payment. Thatre- lating to themain line, has not yet been signed by him; and his repeated visits lately to Philadelphia, are supposed to have some reference to the matter. A part of the plan, as I have heard it developed, is to have his son, the present Sheriff of Philadelphia, appointed on the expiration of the latter’s term of office, the coming October, President of the Com- pany which shall purchase the Delaware aivision of the Pennsylvania Canal. After a large amount of the State stocks is bought up by the Governor and his friends, itis thought the public will be further ap- P ed of his is intentions. The effect of is signing the bill will, of course, be to increase the valu» of the stock. This Porter family is perhaps more extraordinar: in one respect, than any other in the Union, an that isin the love of money, and the cost at which they are willing to obtain it. Not satisfied with the opportunities afforded them in Pennsylvania, they many months ago turned their attention to the federal government, and have driven a_ brisk trade with Ceptain Tyler, whom, as the sequel will show, they will play a most heartless trick upon. ‘They are regardless of reputation, and all they care for is mey. Never was any man so completely pros- ed, as is Governor Porter with the democratic purty whieh elecied him. Conscious of this, aod aware of the intention of his former friends to im- peach him at the coming session of :he legislature, he is now casting about for an alliance with the whigs, many of whom he is appointing to office. | perceive that conjeciures of a probable support of Mr. Van Buren by Peansylvania inthe National Convention are indulged by some of the democratic editors of your Stete. Let them not lay this flat- tering unction to their souls. Mr. Buchanan will receive the united support of the Pennsylvania dele- wates, and if Le cannot be nominated, either Co}. Johnson or Mr Calhoun will be the rcsiduary jegatee. Van Buren literally has no friends in this State. I prepose now and then sending you a brief letter explanatory of political affairs here. It is pleasant to write for the Herald, because one is stimulated by the reflection that he willbe read in all quarters of the Union. Philadelphia, {Correspondence of the Herald.} Pmuapetraia, May 20, 4 P. M. Dear Bennett:— There was great excitement in this city last even- ng and to-day in the neighborhood of the State House, owing to the progress of the trial in the Criminal Court of the case of the Commonwealth against Wiliam M. Swaim and Azariah H. Sim- mons, for publishing in the ‘Public Ledger,’ a wan- ton and malicious libel on your old friend Col. Charles Alexander, of the Daily Chronicle. The case occupied the attention of the Court nearly the whole of yesterday’s sitting. The pleading of coun- se] closed at 8 o’clock last evening. Judge Jones then adjourned the court until ten o’clock thig morn- ing, and afew mioutes after, the large court room wascrowded to excess by persons anxious to hear the charge, andto learn the result of the case. Judge Parsons charged the ry occupying about three quarters of an hour. It was extempore and was regarded as wn admirable legal charge. I do not know that he favored either side, but this I kaow he was quite severe upon licentious publica- tons. The jury were out about twenty minutes,and returned a verdict of guilty against Swaim and Sim- me and it seems to be universally approved. — How comes on your case with Beach, of the Sun 7 THorax.

The Foreign News—Another Important De- bate on American Affairs—\ ight of search and Visit given up—New Negociations. We gave in our postscript of Saturday, and inour regular edition of yesterday, the most important items of general news which was brought by the last steamer from England. To-day we give some further extracts of great commercial and national interest, developing the policy and views of the leading minds in England. We also notice that another debate has taken place in the House of Commons, in which the most friendly feelings were displayed by both parties to- wards the United States, and which was marked by one of the most important concessions that ever came from the British government. Sir Robert Peel bas openly given up the right of search or visit, and fully admitted the interpretation to this principle given by President Tyler. The following are extracts from a speech of Sir j Robert’s, delivered on Mr. Hume’s motion in the House of Commons on the 2d of May: SirRorrrt Pee. said, ° # ® The noble and learned lord says, “Look at the proceedings of the American S. nate, which had rejected, by a majority of 72, a bill for the settlementjof the Oregon territory.” 1 say that at first the American Government—I mean the executive Government—had acceded to our proposition, that an arrangement of the question relating to Columbia should be made by this country The noble lord saysthis was opposed and rejected by the American Senate ; but I may look at the House of Representatives, by farthe most popular assembly. The House of Representatives wasin possession of Lord Ashburton’s cor lence, and yet with the example of the Senate before them, they refused to proceed withthe bill. It we went on we would find that these gentlemen held out no prospect of an amicable settlement of the question, and relinquished all hope of such aresult. Itis to this et the noble ae fers for the purpose of obtaining a paltry triumph. feat the right of search of visit. What Thaveon mer occasion stated to the House on this subject is fully borne ont by subsequent events. I said, and I say agein, that ne anthority was given to make concessions on this poi We claim no right of visit if we know the vessels fo be American. If we do not visit the vessels knowing them to be American, we doit on our own responsibility, af our own risk and peril ; and we are liable to be compelied to make compensation should wetake sucha step. If the noble lord hadlimited himself to the search of oly suspected vessels no fault would have been found. be bd * But you say that we have effected nothing; that we have left the Oregon treaty all unsettled. Now all this is said for the purpose of possessing the people of this country with the idea that Lord Ashburten has failed as a negotiator. (Hear, hear.) However, with respect to this, my firm persuasion is that the two countries will shortly enter upon an amicable settlement of the Colum- bia question. (Hear.) Then with respect to the boun- dary question, all the accounts that Her Majesty’s Govern- ment have received from America concur in representing that the boundary states are animated equally with our- selves by asincere desire that the line of demarkation should be drawn as soon as possible. They have appoint- ed engineers, they wish that the line of demark: should be drawn in one year, they are actuated to r- pearance by precisely the same feelings as we are. That is what we heer from the United States. respect to the right of search, the American Government has com municated to us their instructions to their officers, but as it is impossible for me to speak of the nature of them at this stage of the proceedings, with respect to them I can only state that itis my firm belief thatthey can be car- ried into effect. On the whole, then, my persuasion is, that it willbe most desirableto leave the two countries to settle these questions amicably between themselveszand with the knowledge that they Possess of their great recip- rocal interests, with the knowledge that any bad feelings which might mutually arcuse wenid only recoil on them- selves, and Altace the indications of adverse feelings which may be displayed for a trme by small bodies, my firm belief is, that it will be found by thistreaty con- cluded by Lord Ashburton we have not only secured the foundations of peace, but that we have donethat which is most desirable for our common interests, and thats far as negotiations can effect that object, these negotiati willissue in establishing permanently amicable {relatidus between the United States and ourselves. How different are the sentiments of the leading British statesmen towards this country, than what we find among the Itterary periodicals, journals, and writers ! Cartarn TyLer versus Jonn Botrs.—We per- ceive that Mr. Tyler has thought it proper, in the Richmood Enquirer, to reply to John Botts’s recent letter and affidavit. But as the reply is confined to @ mere private matter, an attack in reference to some land ina law suit, which we did not publish, it is unnecessary to waste time upon irrelevant mat- ters. In reference to public affairs, the following is the close of Mr Tyler’s rezly :— . . . . . * As to other statements made by Mr. Botts in the publi- cation in the Whig, and in which he arraigns the correct- ness of my political course, I sball bend over, most prob- ably, to the editor of the Madisonian for publication, cer- tain papers which may be calculated to throw some light upon the extraordinary statements founded upon the still more extraordinary, memory of Mr. John Minor Botts, and should I do so, | hope, Messrs. Editors, you will give them a place in your columns. Be pleased to accept assurances of my great respect. JOHN TYLER. Craaces Crry County, May 15, 1843. Even this is giving John Botts more attention than he deserves. A man who descends to the level of retailing the conversation that takes place under the same blanket, only deserves to be noticed with the big toe of the right foot, on a certain un- inentionable part of the human body, and tumbled out of the window, to find a cengenial bed-fellow among the Joaters in the gutters below—hic, hwc, hoe.

It is nevertheless a fact that Mr. Welch is now in this city and about to sail for the iveranean. He declined, like Mr. Eyerett, accepting the embassy to China. Process or Fez Trapg Docrrinzs—Pouicy or Sim Rosert Pest—Mr. Wenster’s Vigws.—The speech of Mr. Webster at Baltimore has, as may reasonably be supposed, created a great deal of dis- cussion in our political, commercial and financial circles, during the last two days. The new ground assumed—the magnitude of the subject embraced— the comprehensive manner in which they are han- died—the peculiar crisis in the affairs of the coua- try at which they are presented, all render this speech of far more than ordinary interest and im- portance. The remarks elicited here by the speech have been very variousin character—philosophical, political, quizzical, some one thing, and some anoth- er. One man sayson reading it, ‘‘ Richard’s him- selfagain.” Another, after laying it down, wonders thatMr. Webster said nothing about Mr. Tyler, und his neighbor observes, ‘‘ What could he say about that ——d fool? of course he done right in leaving him out altogether.” Others speculate on the pro- bable effects on the prospects of Messrs. Clay and Van Buren. But amongst practical men in gene- ralthe speech has excited much sober reflection, which will work out appropriate and no unimpor- tant fruits Jt is very evident that the present crisis 1s one pe- culiarly favorable for the development of a sound, rational and comprehensive policy, which would ai- ford reasonable promise of permanent advantage to the country. The country has been converted into one battle-field of faction, and the national prosperi- ty, the national honor, and the national hope, have well nigh perished in the storms thus excited. The people are anxiously looking for deliverance from that accursed spirit of partizanship and political in- trigue, which has been desolating the land. The country wants quiet and repose. All wut the trading. unprincipled politicians, are sick and weary of the controversy, and agitations and violence of the last fifteen years. The comprehensive policy of Mr. Webster, which affords most reasonable grounds ef settling the disputed questions of the day, and secur- ing to the country the needed blessings of peace and quiet, is therefore unfolded at the most auspicious period possible, for its calm, sober and favorable ex- amination. It is a singular coincidence that in England, at the present moment, Sir Robert Peel is approaching the same ground occupied by Mr. Webster. We per- ceive from recent debates in the two Houses of Parliament, that the administration are throwing out intimations of an intended modification ef the Eng- lish corn laws, and are giving evidences of a recog- nition of the doctrines of free-trade, to an extent which has seriously alarmed the ultra tories. We have on former occasions referred to this gradual growth of free trade doctrinesin England, and point- ed out the encouragement thus afforded, for making an attempt to arrange on friendly and equitable prin- ciples the commercial relations of England and the United States. The policy of Mr. Webster will of course excite great clamor and violent outcries from the ultras o both parties. Indeed the yell has already been be- gun. The Tribune of Saturday last denounces Mr. Webster’s views as impracticable, ruinous, and what not, and the Evening Post, on the other hand, has also taken up the cudgels, and attacks Mr.Web- ster’s policy with equal violence. This is not won- derful. The policy of Mr. Webster upsets com- pletely the selfish schemes of mere politicians. It is an appeal made to the common eense of the nation in favor of the great interests of the country against the paltry interests of trading politicians. It is an appeal made in favor of the original purposes of government, and against the fleeting and evan- escent purposes of the party men of the day. It is a comprehensive, rational scheme for freeing the country from the incubus of partizanship—restoring peace and repose to the country, and giving security and confidence to commerce, enterprise and in- dustry. We have no doubt that the adherents of Van Buren onthe one side, and of Clay on the other, will give it every opposition. But theques* tion of its adoption will be determined by the inde- pendent intelligence of the country—by the great masses whe seek sustenance and wealth by more honorable paths than political intrigue. One great characteristic of Mr. Webster's policy and that which at once commends it to public re- gard, is the fact that it seeks the union, on just and enduring principles, of the agricultural, the manu- facturing, and the commercial interests. Hereto- fore the efforts cf the hack politicians have been to elevate one or other of these interests at the ex- penee of the rest. But the movement advocated by Mr. Webster would harmonize the whole in connexion with our foreign relations, and give unity and permanence to every department of industry and enterprise. It is indeed a§movement similar to that which terminated in the establishment of our Con- stitution. That was originally a commercial move- ment, and ina union of the interests of the North and South. During the entire administration of Washington, this union of interests between North and South prevailed inthe action of Congress and of parties. On the accession of the elder Adams— an Eastern man—a preponderance was given to the Eastern and Northern interests, and then for the first time parties began to develope themselves, no- minally as democratic and federal, but really sec- tional—Northern and Southern. Then — ers on rose on the Southern party, which has been — ed the democratic party, and has prevailede r since. This movement of Mr. Webster will have the ten- dency to efface all the tracés of the contests and agi- tation of the various interests that this arrangement of parties has produced, and will renew that old union of interests between the North and South, which brought about the revolution of °76—held in unbroken harmony the patriots of the revolution in all their struggles—was at the foundation of the moyement which ended in the establishment of the present Constitution—and operated on the public policy throughout the administration of General Washington. Movements, &c.—Among the multitude of arri- vals at this present time in the city, we netice, at Howard’s, the arrival of Captain Zachariah Sher- man, from Vergennes, Vermont, now quite advanc- ed in years. He was associated with Captain Bunker, it will be recollected, in 1810 or 1812, in breaking up the original monopoly granted to Chancellor Livingston and others to run steamboats up on the North river. Col. Cox and lady, of the British army, and also Mrs. Harvey, leave Howard’s to day in the Gladia- tor for England. The Hon. Ph. Dickenson of New Jersey, is also stopping at Howard’s. Mr. Butler, and Fanny Kemble Butler, his fair lady, with their family, are stopping at the Astor House. TueateicaL —Mr. Harry P. Grattan, the dis- tinguished tragedian, who was so favorably received at the Park in the character of Hamlet, makes his second appearance this night as Master Walter, in the Hunchback. No man has more satisfactorily succeeded in gaining “troops of friends” in this city, than Mr Grattan, and the Park must be crowded to-night. His Master Walter is one of his best characters, and there must be a good house. Cuatuam Tneatre.—The new play which has been in preparation at this establishment for some months, called “Isaac Ahasuerus, or the Wander- ing Jew,” will be produced this evening. We an- ticipate, from the elaborate details of the show bills, avery crowded house. New Yorx Mv: —This delightful establish- ment, presenting at all times a feast for the admir- cers of both art and novelty, seems destined daily to advance in public approval. This, of course, is not to be wondered at, asthe enterprizing Mana- ger is continaally adding something new. Apart from the distinguished performers, the paintings alone are well worth the very small sum charged for admission. City Intelige Suppen Increase oF Picxroceets.—The apparent calm in the annals of roguery, at the several police offices lest week, was more than accounted for yesterday by the pre- sence of several gentlemen, who entered information as to the Joss of various sums of money within the past few days, taken from their possession by pickpockets.

Pitcn Ficnt.—Notice was given to the lower police magistrates, on Saturday evening, that a pitch fight was tocome offat the foot of Hubert street, yesterday morn- ing, at the early hour of 4 o’clock, between two boys, named James Timony and Michael Dondican, the dispute having arisen trom matters appertaining to the fire com- nies which they followed, as assistants, but not mem. ers. The consequence was, that several hundred beings had assembled, of all siz , des criptions and sexes, yet the brutal scene was prevented in our city, although we understand the parties went over to the Hoboken shore, afterwards, and fought the battle out, amid the attendance of all who could succeed in obtaining a passage across the river. Common Councu..—Both Boards of Aldermen meet this afternoon, at 5 o’clock, and afterwards assemble in joint meeting, to make numereus appointr entsto fill va- cancies, and also make vacancies tor LE lipgsogeey' by clipping off the heads of those who have fed at the public crib for the past year.

He appeared to be about thirt: years of age. The bodies of both will be exhibited this morning at the Dead House in the Park for recognition. Court of Common Pleas. May 20.—In the matter of Matthew Hale a non resident debtor.—An attachment was issued against the real and personel property of Hale, as anon-resident debtor, by a creditor, to the amount of $2000, and goods were seized by the Sheriff. A motion for a supersedeas of the attach- ment was made on behalf of the debtor, on the ground that he was not a non-resident within the meaning of th statute. The facts proved were, that the debtor w sea-captain and had no family. ‘He had lived in the city of New York asa boarder until within about 15 months since,when he went to Boston to go on a voyage. AtBoston he declared himself at the Custom House to be an inhabi tant of Boston at the time of his sailing on his last voyage. On his return he came to New York aa a passenger, and took lodgings in the city, and stated to hislandlerd that he had come home, and that he considered this his home, but immediately left for Boston; soon sfter which he re- turned to New York. It did not appear that he was entitled to vote in the city of NewYork, or that he was born with- inthis State. At the time of issuing the attachment he was proved to have stated that he resided no where in particular, but that he belonged in New York as much a3 ony where; and that he was in the city at the time the at- tachment was issued, and that this fact was known tothe attaching creditor. The Court held that the proof of his residence not be- ing conclusive on other grounds, his declarations must be. taken to be expressive of his intention to remain, and that a pon resident debtor being in this State for pleasure, siness, or temporarily, would not exempt him from an at- tachment, although the attaching creditor knew himto be here; and that the party must ",ave an intention to make this State his fixed and janent residence or place of abode, otherwise he w non-resident within the meaning of the statute. The motion for a supersedeas was therefore denied and the attachment held goed. George Gifford, , for the debtor—E. Terry for the creditor. Nisto’s French Orrra.—The musical spec. tacle of “Les Memoires du Diable’” is to be produced this evening. with all ‘the appliances of new scenery, costumes, music, and a Bal Masqué No expense has been spared in its production. Messrs. Mathieu and Oternoa + Madame Robillon make their first appearance, ¢nd those charming artists, Le Court and his wife. - The greatest point of this company is, that being exactly the same as at New Orleans, we shall have all the Parisian novelties in rapid succession, so that we shall have to go every night to prevent missing them. Develle, the French decoratewr, and Grain and Hielge have painted some beautiful scenery. Al- though the overtures are played in a superior man- ner, we hope for the sake of precedent that Mr. Prevost will resist their being encored, as was evi- dently the public wish of Friday and Saturday nights. We counted no_less than six violinists in the band, that have been leaders, certainly a proot of the de- termination of Niblo not to be approached in music. Kroor anp De _Gont.—These artistes are giviog concerts at Savannah. The Seaurns are at Baltimore. Hacgerr has been playingfan engagement at Buf- lo with a company chiefly from New York. Concert or Miss Lewis—Arotto Satoon —It the musical amateurs of this city desire to be raised to the seventh heaven of ecstacy, we would advise them to attend the concert, to be given by Miss Lewis at the Apello Saloon, on Tuesday evening next, where they will hear one of the most charming singers in this country. _We have had an opportuni- ty of hearing her in private, and for flexibility of voice and quality of tone, being a beautiful full so- prano, she stands unrivalled. She has been induced to give this concert through the solicitation of her friends, (whose name is legion,) and this will be the only opportunity of hearing her in public. If our dilletanti desire to have remembrance awakened ot Malibran, Caradori &c. they will not let the occa- sion pass of enjoying the greatest treat of the sea- son. Apart from her attractions, f ical and mu- sical, she wiil be assisted by Mr. Julius Metz, who will preside at the piano, Mr. Rapetti, the great violinist, Signor Ribas, the celebrated Shoe pla er, Mr. Heidelberg and daughter, his pupil, a child of ten years of age, who will play a duett with her father, and by Mr. Dempster, who will give some of his celeratod Scotch ballads Altogether, we think this the best bill of the seasen.

We are a frequent visiter of this beautiful and hallowed retreat, and on almost every visit we have been surprised to observe the heedless manner in which parties on horseback gallop over the grounds; more in the manner that might be looked tor at a race course, apparently utterly forgetful of the nature of the place.

We shall have to wait another week before anything definite transpires. The weather yesterday afternoon was delightful ; and one of those interesting juvenile excursions, for which the Sunday-school preceptors of this city are so deservedly commended, was made to the banks of the romantic and beautiful Schuylkill. ‘The pieasant looking little fellows and the charm- ing little girls, with faces beaming with health and joy, infused a feeling almost juvenile in every be- holder, and made us wish we were ‘a boy again,” revelling in the sunshine of that loved canine n- ship we never meet with after the days of childhood ind innocence have vanished The remains of Commodore Hull, one of our distinguished revolutionary heroes, were yesterday exhumed from the vault at Christ Church, and con- veyed in a eplendid hearse to their final resting place in the Cemetery at Laurel Hill, where a eplendid monumet will be erected to perpetuate the memory of one of Columbia’s bravest sons. Some of our merchants have projected a dinner to Diniel Webster, with the usual demonstrations on ssh occasions, but nothing positive has trans- pired.

Burton and Silsbee have both volunteered, with the whole of the establishment, and we doubt not but the old fellow will have a bumper.

Sunday, May 21-6 P.M. ‘The following is a comparative statement of the affairs ofthe bank of the Valley in Virginia. Bank or THE Vatcey, Va, Arar. 1812 anv 1843. 3 1642.

The effect of the reduced tariff has been not to cause very large imports of foreign produee, but it has been to fix a point beyond which prices cannot advance without inducing imports, about 20 per cent lower than the same effect was produced under the old law. If the Produce of all nations is admitted into Great Britain on the same footing, that of the United States would un- doubtedly sustain a severe competition from the increased stimulus which a steady market would give to the indus- try of thecontinent. The regulations in relation to Ca- nada undoubtedly give a decided advantage now to the United States. ‘The future policy of England under her present rulers is, however, decided to be te make conces sionsin the duties, by special commercial treaties, on the produce of such nations only as reciprocate by re- ductions on British goods. The present policy of Europe asevinced by all the tariffs of last year, is restrictive. That policy has been gradually formed by the long con tinued illiberal policy of Great Britain. In the United States the high tariff of last year did not grow eutof any referenceto the policy of any foreign government, but wasthe result of the ascendancy of a political party which always avowed a protective policy. Great Britain has new been forced by overwrought protection towards free trade. She finds herself trammelled on all sides by opposing tariffs and means to make her own necc ssary re- ductions an instrument in reducing those tarifis by nego- tiation, Three attempts have been made with for ign Powers to negotiate commercial treaties on this basis, and have failed, because the course ef those governments was taken, and could not b¢ suddenly altered. In the United States, on the other hand, the high tariff partyare already onthe wane. The greatest and ablest statesment that supportedit, have avowed the importance to this country of a treaty which will allow Great Britain to take the surplus products of our vast and increasing ag- ricultural districts and pay fer them in the procceds of their industry at reciprocal rates of duty. A treaty of such a nature first concluded with Great Britain, would give tothis country an ascendaney over Europe in all future time in supplying the British Islands with provis- ions. During the wars of Napoleon, the New England States grew rich by monopelizing the carrying trade of Europe. During the commercial wars of the present day the United States by first concluding peace and entering into amicable treaties, will secure to herself incalculable advantages, while they will form the bulwark of the English paper system. A reciprocal trade created be- tween the twocountries by which Englend will com- mandthe illimitable productions of the fertile West to feed her citizens who will earn them bytheir manufactur: ing industry will forever prevent those disastrous and sud_ den demands for gold to buy corn, which, during the last ten years, hayethree times brought England to the verge ofbankruptey, The reduction in the prices of food in England consequent upon a steady and large supply from this country, will ensure the supremacy of British man- ufactures ia those markets, where now they disadvanta- geously encounter European fabrics. The landed and banking interests of England are se- riously alarmed at the progress of Sir Robert Peel’s measures. The grounds fer these fears are embedied in the following extract from the London Banker’s circu- ler: allude to the fact os illustrative of the views we have teken respetting the effects of pushing out money, a8 well as for its own interest, that at the foreign wool sles which have this week taken place in London, wool has gone off at from 1}d to2d per pound advance, which isa rise ef something more then 10 per cent in price. Weare very much concerned to have this week to re- ae the moppe of two Country Banks, viz, M larke, Mitchell » Philips & Co. of Leicester, and Mi Inkersole, Goddard & Co. of Market Harboreugh, one district, aud the stoppage in part results same cause. There seems to be litt! ter of the debts of the first being paid in full. We should hope there Would be a considerable surplus. We have heard no statement te ee the affairs or prospects of the other. Messrs. Clarke, Mitchell & Co. issued on Saturday last the following notice :—“ In consequence of a sudden pressure, caused by the malicious rumors which have been so industriously circulated, it has become ne- cessary that a temporary suspension ef the business of tLis bauk should take place. The public may rest satis- fied that no individual can sustain any loss, and that ar- rangements will be made for rendering the inconve- nience resulting from the present step of as short duration as possible. Saturday, April 22d, 1842.” The reports of the stoppage of other Banks are not true. We have said that these sroppeges are in part to be ascribed to the same cause, and that cause is the pressure on the farmers and graziers, and the apprehension en- endered by itin the minds of capital: This will be t understood if we describe one portion of the ceurse of business of such ks. Im the autumn when the graziers sell of belle ~ iaieage some bogs have re money, a portien of which they, aéa inthe Bankt'on interest. Then the ‘Banks are full of money, and the most cautious usually amo it in Lon- don in unting guaranteed bills ; others leave it with their agents here for what interest they can get Messrs. Inkersole and Goddard had, we believe, about £65,000 in the hands of Messrs. Eadaile & Co. when they stopped in January, 1887. The spring comes, and then the graziers draw out their lodgements from the Banks to buy lean stock ; and many of them require loans m addition to ena- ble them toemploy their land most advantageously, then weak bankers aleo want assistance to furnish them with the means of working their trade vigorously and pros- perously. The London Banker, as the agent, is appited to for this assistance, and so long as matters go well and no cloud is in the horizon, it is frer’y rendered. Of courée the London Bankers know that Sir R Peel’s Tariff and Corn-law and the fall of prices have rendered the graziers and agricultural connexions of banks more yt customers. They consequently shrink from letting their money go into the ordinary channel, and when Coiba! arrives and the graziers want accom- modation, they cannot get it ; the weakeror more liberal and extended banks stop. These ingidents are very pain- ful on account of the suffering they bring te those imme- diately affected by them, and their customers and neigh- bors; but asa symptom of coming times and events in the pursuits of agriculture, they ought te be ded as a matter of serious import by statesmen. They are among the numerous manifestations of evil whic! know must be produced by Sir R. Peel’s policy, ‘When an old and vicious government policy is from necessity abandoned, it cannot be otherwise than thet those who have been benefitted by the system at the ex- pense of the masses, must suffer as affairs return toa more sound state. That banks and their dependents fail under a fall of prices, by which the mass of the people arc benefitted, is no matter of regret. It is an evidence that those institutions have lived in corruption, and flourished upon oppression. It is for that very reason that com mercial reform is the more loudly called fur. How very depraved must be the public mind, when a leading jour nal, with the full knowledge that a large portion of thc citiz ng of England are in a starving condition, oppose, the measures of a minister, calculated to relieve their suf ferings, on the ground that it causes bankers to fail! Ir the United States $60,000,000 of bank capital has faile during the past year, prices have been reduced, and real wealth increased prodigiously at money prices #0 low that Boston sends cotton goods to Liverpool. The price: of England must be reduced in « corresponding Hegree and will beso reduced by the effect of the increasin; supply fromthe United States. That failures to a grea extent will take place under the operation, must inevi tably be the case ; but with every explosion, a part of th: pressure upon the masses will be removed. It is true that with every fallin the money prices of industry, th: burden of the English debt will be increased ; but it i also true, that it will be counteracted to the same exten’ by the improved condition of the people. For instance |) ‘aman earns 108 per week, and pays 4s. taxes, their r: mains 6s., for which he can now buy 43 Ibs. of bread ; the price of bread falls 50 per cent, he can buy 49 Ibs. ¢ bread, and have 3s. remaining fer other purposes. 11 Ib of bread can now be bought in New York for 1s. sterlin; The general reduction in prices will remove a large po tion of the taxes. By the commercial treaty propore the condition of the English people will be assimilate to that of the United States, and both nations will advanc predigiously in wealth and prosperity. in from the doubt in any quar. we Foreign Markets.
