Reception of Mr. Webster's Speech in Eu- rope—Corn Law Agitation—the Future. Mr. Webster's great Baltimore speech has exci- ted, a8 was very reasonably to be anticipated, the greatest interest in England. It reached the other side of the Atlantic’ at the very time when it was likely to command universal attention. The long- protracted struggle between the interested advo- cates of op ressiveprohibitory duties, and the friends of free trade, is in England rapidly approaching a decisive cr At such an epoch, the enlightened views of Mr. Webster, carrying with them all that added influence which his present position confers upon them, are eminently calculated to command, respectful and attentive examination. The disposition to enter into amicable and advan- tageous trading arrangements with this country is rapidiy inereasing in Great Britain. Although from the opposition to the Canada corn bill, and the great recent soreness of the members of the British legis- latures opposed to the modification of the corn law duties, itis not likely that commissioners will be sent out here until after the adjournment of Parlia- ment ; yet we do not believe that the ministry can resist the proposition for a commercial tyaly, com- ing as it now does under the sanction of Mr. Web- ster, whose opinions and influence are deservedly heid in high esteem in «ngland. That portion of the rress, and intelligent men of all parties, in Great Britain, whose acquaintance with the political movements here enable them to form an accurate judgment on this matter, very just- ly entertain the opinion that the rew movement of Mr. Webster will materially aflect the “fortunes of Clay end Van Buren.” We shallsee. There have been more unreasonable predictions than that, at all events. The London Globe has the following very sensible article on the speech—it may serve as a specimen of the manner in which Mr. Webster’s movemeat is spoken of by the liberal press in Eng- land :— The speech ef Mr. Webster contains tuatter which de serves attention at the present time, It must be taken to express the duliberate views, divested of otlicial bias, of oue of the ablest men in the United States, and views ap. parently popular in the audiences accustomed to be ad- dressed by him. Itis worth considering, what foundation jor extended commerce with America 1s offered by those views, and what likelihood there is of our statesmen being ready to build on that foundation. As regards the latter pomt, a government at the mercy of the collective wisdom of landed blockheads, a govern. ment whose Canadian relaxation caused such an outcry amongst those blockheads, (an outcry not accasioned by whatit lacked, but what it had of more extended commer- cial principles,) a government holding power by the tenure on which it is held by the present government, affords no hope et all. ‘There is no hope at ail that the present government will adopt a sound policy, as regards commercial relations with America, unless the public voice makes itdo so. Wedo not know what the “ Gene- vese Traveller,” who writes in the Times, means by say- ing that, betore a commercial treaty can be negotiated with America, “long established policy, strong und en- during prejudices, great, and by some deemed vital inter- ests, must be uprooted” This we call sheer, inflated nonsense. The “long established policy” of England dates farther baek than the new corn law and taritt, which have “ unsettled every thing and settled nothing.” The" long established policy of America” dates no farther back than ber new tariff, of which we may say ditto ditto, h Mr. Webster criticises. We know i in this country, that some o1 the strongest exciu pious of the “ great, by some deemea vital inter begining to say that Peel suspense is worse thi repeal certainty. And in America we find Mr saying, ‘All of us know thet the principal inter Ubicd States are all under a considerable degree of de pression. The commercial interest is depressed, the man- utacturing interest is depressed, and so faras 1 am able to perceive, the agricultural interest of both north and south is equally depressed. 11] look at the price-current in the grain growing States of the west. or the plantation States of the south, I perceive again a great depression, and no reat encouragement to activity and emulation.” itis perfectiy clear that, in both countries, bad commer- cial iegisiation is now felt by its fruits. Each nation has false steps to retrace, false policy to rectify. Our errors are of the lo: standing ; those of America the most raw and recent. Thet “great and vitai interests” are concerned in adhering to either, is great nonsense. The gtcat ond vital isterests of both countries are now suffer- ing by that adherence—by adherence to modes of legisla- tion which, It is felt in both, cannot be final. Mr. Webster's language on this point comes home directly to our own business and bosoms :— “But this [ do mean to say, because it is a settled conviction of my own judgment—f by any great opera- tion that should waite the interests and opinions of all parts of the country, we can place American industry and American labor on @ permanent foundation, that is a more important consideration than the degree to which protection should extend. (Applause.) Depend upon it, gentlumen, it is change, and the apprehension of change thet unuerves every working man’s arm in this country. (Loud applause.) Changes feit, or changes feared, are the bane of our industry, and the prostration of our action. Renewed applause)’ | live in apart of the country full of industry, with some capital, with great activity ; and when I go amongst my neighbors they uniformly ask me —‘For God’s sake, tell us what we are to expect—lay down your law—prescribe your rule—let us see what is to be the course of the government, and we can then apply our industry, invest our capital, and adapt our circumstances to this state of things, be it what it warm us, scorch us, burn us—do what you please, but let us know what you propose to do—and stick to it! (Thunders ef applause.) Now 1 am of opinion that if, under any comprehensive system of policy, we could bring about a resa tin which the north and the seuth, the east and the west,should cencur, it would be one emi- neatly favorable to agriculture—to the grain growing and plantation States—reasonably favorable al-o to the yoanufacturing and commercial interests—and besides all this, we could stamp oa that result a feature of perma- nence. If we could make an impression on it that should for twenty years, we would soon have a much (etter of things than we have seen for years and years (Applause )”” past Mr. Webster makes some excellent remarks on the ex- yerienced impolicy of those vague generalities which are isually introduced in the terms of treaties, and which, as he truly says, are productive of nothing but discord and combarrassment, “We have dealt too much,” he says and tue lesson is geod for this ceuntry) “ in generalities 10 the terms of our treaties, as when we speak of* placing nation on terms of the most favored nation.’ ” In my opinion, whatever treaty stipulation we should enter into, it is always best that it should be specific, in- Jisputable, precise. In making @ treaty with another ua- lion, we say that we — her upon the same footing with the most favored nations. What does that mean ? It has no practical meaning to it, because it becom cessary to deal with all sorts of generaiity—there is no commonstandard. We make a treaty with Ru: for example, and stipulate that the duty on a toa of iron shall be so much and no more; that the duty on a huadred of hemp shali be so much. Weil, we go to make a treaty with the Celestial Empire, that deals only in silks and teas. We tell her she shall be ‘placed on the footing of the most favored naious’ How shali we give a tariff for Russia which shall have any application to the cate of China ?” ‘The comparative view given by Mr. Webster of the American aad English trade with Brazil—of tue unequal terms on which each is conducted at present, and of the opening which the expiration of our treaty with that country will afford for a fairer reciprocity towards Ame. struction and warning. Well may Mr. er say—" We havea great advantage over Eng: lat we have no colonial interest to protect.” Pro- g @ colonial interest means abandoning a profitable with every country which can seli colonial cheapness and abundance. What ne- trade products in grea . vos deration we receive in return for protecting inte- rests in this fashion—for stinting ourselves of sugar, and stopping up vents for oar cotton or hardware—the pre- seut ministry will heve to give an account of—before, ¢ hope, the mischief is consummated | We need mot foliow Mr. Webster into his views on the policy ofour old navigation law, or into the question, whether the United States nave substituted the recipre- city principle in too unrestricted a manner We end as we began, by directing public attention to the dispositions indicated by this speech tor extended commerce with this country. If,in one izstance alter another, every symp- tom of willingness in other countries to meet us on fair terms of commercial interchange is to be thrown away— our “great and vital ioterest’’ in this country, and in the colonies, li to ride our necks, like Sinbad’s Olt Man of the Sea—what will, at last, be lett us but to wish him the like drunkenness, and ourselves the like jeliverance ? © connection with the reception of Mr. Web- ster’s speech, we may with propriety allude to the progress of the Anti-Corn law agitation. It ia ad- ag ata pace which affords the most consola- ry evidence of its approaching triumph, On te 18th of last month, Lord Jonn Russell brought on his motiou in the House of Commons tora committee of the whole House, to consider the law respecting the import duties on corn. He congratulated Sir E,. Knatchbull that the state of the weather on a late occasion had prevented the Kentishmen from assembling in any very great num, bers on Penenden heath to petition Parliament on he subject of these duties, inasmuch asa very nu- merous asserablage might have endangered his po- m inthe magistracy. He then proposed to con- vac sider his subject in three Tespects—first, with regard to the case set up by the agriculturalists; secondly, with regard to the arguments which might be anu- cipated from the Government; and, thirdly, with Tegard to the question whether the principle of free trade required a total exemption from duty. The agriculturists insisted upon the necessity of protect ing native industry, which was a total fallacy—anc upon the injury sustained by the farmers from the diminution in price occasioned by the late tariff which he positively denied to have been the cause of that diminution. They compiained also of fle. tuations in the prices of corn; and he thought it could not be too distinctly made known to them tha! the Legislature could not secure, and would not at- temp’ to secure, any certain price for their corn Other articles might be kept at high duties; but that was impracticable as to corn; the people must have it, and if prices were high, duties must come down. The law of 1815, and the law of 1828, had been imposed in oider to keep up the price of wheat by high duties; but under these very laws there had been various periods at which the agriculturists had come te Parliament with complaints of low prices. He then adverted to the corn law of the present mi- nisters. The operation of the sliding scale, which it established, was, he contended, to le! in a deluge ef com in one or two months of each year; while the effect of a fixed duty was to bring in a steady and equable supply. What his Lordship chiefly complained of was the present uncertainty, so injurious to the agricultural classes ; he quoted Mr. Webster, and urged the go- vernment to do one thing or the other, to be either warm or cool, which transatlantic doctrine, he said, would find many sympathisers here. Hethen arrived at his third poiut—the principle on which a duty should be imposed. If a duty was imposed on any article for ‘revenue, he contended that it was not only not unreasonable, but it was simply just, that the foreign as well as the home producer of that article should pay that duty; otherwise there would be a violation of the principle of free trade, in fa- vor of the foreigner against the home trader. So, too, if the agriculturists could make out their alle- gation of burdens peculiar to the land, a counter- vailing protection to them would then be pursuant, not repugnant, to the principle of free trade. He was, therefore, disinclined to lay down the broad principle of total abolition; he would prefer a mo- derate fixed duty,’ He had seen and read enough of the history of great questions to be satistied that it was often wisest to avoid, by some fair compromise, the enforcement of extreme ovinions—witness the cases of the slave trade and of the Roman Catholic disabilities. He admitted that when prices should rise to 803. or eveu 70s. you must remit our duty; but such a case would be very rare; for the importers would H pogporwed bring in their grain at an earlier period, and 90 as to prevent that extreme rise.— He was not solicitous to claim reputation for his party as the founders of the free trade principle; the legislation of the country showed that they already had titles enougly tothe people’s confidence, fiom the days of the Habeas Corpus and the Bill of Rights to those of the Reform Act, and the act ferthe abolition ef slavery. He was quite content, therefore, to see the principles of {ree trade carried to their fit extent by a Ministry in which he and hia friends had no share. The motion of Lord John Russell was defeated, but by a considerably smaller majority than those which have heretofore met the efforts of the advo- cates of a modification of the existing system of du- tieson corn. It is very evident that the cry of the starving masses in Great Britain cannot much longer fail to extort from their oppressive ‘legislators those concessions which justice demand. And what will be the necessary result of those concessions? Nothing short of the prostraton of the aristocracy, and the elevation of the people to their rightful position.— In a thousand forms the struggle|between the masses and the privileged orders is going on. We cannot have any hesitation bout the issue. England must very speedily give her starving multitudes cheap bread, by reducing the present obnoxious imposts, and by entering into commercial regulations with this country; such as those advocated by Mr. Webster, with that ability and truth which have commanded in so unequivocal a manner the respect and attention of the press and government of Bri- tain. OrrictaL ANNOUNCEMENT.—It is announced offi- cially in Saturday’s Madisonian, that John Nelson of Maryland, has accepted the appointment ten der- ed him by the President, of Attorney General of the United States, in the place of the Hon. Hugh S. Legare. That paperalso says there is a rumor in circula- tion in the city, in which we are inclined to repose some confidence, that the Navy Department has been offered to the Hon. David R. Henshaw, of Massachusetts. CommeENncemeNts.—The annual period of the com- mencement of our colleges and great literary insti- tutions has again come about, and the names of th orators who usually eppear onthese festive anniver- saries are duly chronicled. Among others, we see that at the University of Vermont, on the 2d day of August next, the annua! address will be delivered by Rev. O. A. Brownson, of Boston. Rev. George B. Cheever, of this city, has consented to deliver the address before the As- sociated Alumni on the life and characcer of Dr. Marsh, late Professor of Moral and Intellectual Phi- losophy in the University. {aThe commencement of Middlebury College will be held on Wednesday the 16th of Auguet. The Philomathean Society will be addressed on the day preceding by George P. Marsh, Esq., of Burlington, and the other literary association, by the Rev. Ly- man Beecher, D. D., of Cincinnati. Professor A. D. Bache, of Philadelphia, will de- liver an oration before the literary societies of Union College, Schenectady, on the day before commence- ment at the end of July. At the college of New Brunswick, in New Jer- sey, the address before the Societies to be given by Mr. Bigelow, an able and acomplished young law- yer of this city. The fifth anniversary of Williams College will be celebrated on the 16th of August. President Hop- kins delivers the oration. The Commencement of the College of New Jer- sey, at Princeton, occurs in September. The Hon. Wm. L. Dayton, of the U. S. Senate, will deliver, the anoual oration. Tue Last Ecoreurnt.—We have received full particulars of the most recent elopement, which,from the respectability and standing of the parties, has created avery respectable degree of excitement. Here is the intelligence from an authentic source: Axwanr, July 1, 1943, Dear 8: ‘The propriety and decorum which usually prevail in- and around the vicinity of the excellent hotel of Mr. Fos ter, known as the City Hotel, situated in Broad: South Market street, were very much discom thrown ito confusion, by the rumor that the an elopement extraordinary, the the goodly city of Gotham, had a boat, the South America, {rom the cit; resaid You are that under any circumstances, the aanouncement han event would produce something of an excite- in any hotel, filled with aoxious and ardent young arties to parties being from ed in the morning's ° ment men. We took @ survey of the register of arrivals. The eloping pair were thus written down. “J cot Jr. and lady, New York.” We then hed an opportunity, st an early breskiast te- ble, to examine into the merits of the case. We learned from autherity Dotto be disputed, that the bridegroom is & youngster of some twenty-three years of good looking, of a {distingue appearance, and the possessor of much wealth, in expectancy, remainder and reversion, being the junior partuer of the old established firm of J. A. M.& Co. and owner of avery handsome estate in New Jersey. The bride, Miss Emily J-—, just sweet sixteen, 4n orphan, who feeling herself in want of ¢ protector, and finding no reasonable impediments injher way,resoly- ed in @ very sensible mood to bestow her heart, hand, and some one hundred thousand dollsrs upon a young gentle man “suited to her mind.” These are the facts, of which 1 believe you bave the earliest intelligence—for as yet, | the triends of the parties are entirely ignorant of the af. | fair. The happy pair left for Niagara in the cars at ar A. M. this morning. Tn haste, your C@LEBA. Movements.—Lieut. Governor G. Hull, of Mas- sachusetis, has arrived at Howard’s. Captain Hosken, of the Great Western, is at his old quarters, the Astor House. The Hon. Harmann Bleecker of Albany, just returned from Europe, is also at the Astor House.

Captain McLean, of the Swallow, says the ther- mometer at Albany, on Saturday, wasfup to 101— and that at Poughkeepsie it was so high it made the people dizzy to look at it. Gentlemen generally have had the nap ull singed off from thelr hats, and in some instances, indivi- duals were known to pass into a state of total liqui- faction. In other cases, nothing but the smell of burnt woollens and a small grease spot, were per- ceived remaining. There were seen tvo or three remarkable cases of a pair of boots still pursuing the even tenor of their way, pari passu, down towards the Battery, totally unconscious that the individuals above them had imperceptibly melted into thin grease, and run away. As water is the best element to extinguish fire, so we know of nothing equal toa bath to relieve one who is in the “melting mood.” For a salt water bath, by all means try Mr. Thomas’ down at the Battery; or if you like a bath, either warm or cold, as you please, then try Palmy’s Arcade Bath,-39 Chambers street; Rabineau, at the foot of Desbrosses street; or last, not least refreshing, Mrs. Carroll’s, in Cortlandt street. Nor True.—As we have already stated, there is not a syllable of truth in the stories circulated some time since respecting Mr. Wyckoff’s misappropria- tion of a portion of Fanny Ellsler’s funds. Even if the gentleman were at all disposed to adopt the fashionable notions of financiering in the manage- ment of other people’s property, he hadn’t a chance to put them ipto practical operation in this caze. He never had a farthing of Fanny’s money in his hatds. SquaLt.—About five o'clock yesterday after- noon, the almost expiring mass of inhabitants of this great city, who, by the extreme heat of the morniag were brought to their last gasp, saw with trembling hopes the southwestern horizon darken- ing, and promise given of genial showers. Instead, however, of a thunder storm, a squall, amounting to a hurricane, came careering on, shutting Staten Island from the view,and darkening the heavens over New Jersey, with clouds of dust. The Bay of New York was tossed into a tempest, and surge rolled on surge with fearful violence, dragging vessels from their anchorage, and greatly endangering such small craft as were exposed to their fury. On the Battery, trees were scattered to the earth like reeds. In the thoroughfares, awnings were torn into shreds, and on every hand masses of earth and dust were thrown to the skies, which presented a singularly murky appearance. The squall thusraged until near six o’clock, and it then subsided, the western horizon beeame clear, giving promise of fiue weather on the morrow, but at a later hour gentle rains descended, and we breathed more freely. Rarely has so violent a squall been witness- ed, and many parties of pleasure, who had been breathing the purer air of Staten Island and Hobo- ken, will not soon forget the terror they felt when overtaken on the river by a visitation which threat- ened instant destruction to the vessels in which they were returning to their homes. Tue Cotumpia, Capt. Shannon, left Boston at half past 2 o’clock Saturday afternoon, for Halifax and Liverpool. She has sixty-nine passengers for Liverpool, and tweive for Hulifax. Her mail bag has upwards of fourteen thousand letters, and the usual quantity of newspapers and magazines. Tue Otp Sotpier Gong.—Captain Josiah Cleve- land, who travelled from Oswego, Tioga county, N. Y. to attend the Monument celebration, is no more! He has literally fallen a victim to his vene- ration forthe cause of liberty, and died upon the very spot of ground, where, sixty-eight years ago, | Pré.aux-Clerca (The Clerk’s he exposed his life in his country’s cause. He died at the house of Samuel C. Hunt, Charlestown,where he was an honored guest. He was in the ninetieth year of his age. As an incident connected with the decease of this old soldier, the Bay State Democrat mentions that a number of gentlemen of this city, who were highly interested in the appearance and conversa- tion of Capt. Cleveland, and penetrated with a deep feeling of reverence for his age and patriotic ser- vices, had caused to be prepared a walking stick made from an undoubted piece of ‘Old Iron- sides,” with an appropriate inscription on a silver plate, which, with a handsome dressing gown, were te have been presented tohim last evening had not death unexpectedly closed his career.

Price 1s. language is the ‘“ Brothers,” Hawkers anp Peptars.—Some few days since we gave insertion to a communication from‘A Me- chanic of the Fourth Ward,” on the subject of hawking and peddling, and since that day we have received a variety of communications on the same subject. The whole matter is now in the hands of the proper authorities, and therefere we have less hesitation in terminating the discussion, through our columns, though fairness would perhaps require that we give both parties a hearing, and therefore we subjoin the following in advocacy of the cause of the hawkers :— Mr. Epitor :—Persuaded as I am of your readi- ness to give a just and candid hearing to all parties, I have presumed to write you on the subject of Hawkers and Pedlars, in reply to a mechanic of the Fourth ward, who writes inveterately against that honest class of our population who diligently earn their subsistence by the sweat of their brow. Itis industry, and a contentedness with a emall profit, which realises a competence that serves to keep his wife and small family comfortable in the situation in which Providence has placed them. Some are born to affluence and need no exertion fur their living ; whilst others, whose star has not been so favorable, are obliged trom their earliest youth to creep along aes ate honestly, step by step, contented with litle. No matter what their calling may be, provided it is honestly followed, and in ac- cordance with the laws of the country. From whence, Mr. Editor, are these pedlars supplied whit the goods they expose for sale? Surely the goods they expose can never be all stolen, as asserted by the Fourth ward mechanic,else I at once would con- demn the m,and strenuously advise the use of every energy te put a stop to the practice. Nay, I am more charitable than_to draw such a picture; I can guess the matter different. The poor, but ho- nest pedlar, is obliged to search out the busy me- ehanic who manufactures the article for which he finds a readysale. He is obliged to attend the mart of the importer, else the busy auction scene to sup- ply his scanty store, and after all for the want of affluent means, is necessitated to seek a market for the sale of such goods as his limited purse has pro- cured. Why, tell me why should the pedlar be trammeled from his honest exertion in thus <xponing his goods for sale under the wide canopy of heaven’ It is far different with the storekeeper, or Fourth ward mechanic. 1 guess the Fourth ward mechanic is an aristocrat or monopoliser, and if he succeeds in preventing sales by hawkers, he would not hesi« tate to shut the thousand doors of advantages to the citizen. He would stop the newsboys and paper deliverers; hinder the iadustrious husbandman from bringing forth his fruits in plenty; shut out the gar- dener from the mart with his early produce; in short, take away the equal privilege of the poor with the rich, whose cents are alike. Mr. Editor, it is not controversy that induced me to write, bu: the warm feeling of regard for my fellow citizen, and I trust the Common Council will duly weigh the mat- ter on his behalf. A Darcy Reaper. New York, June 29th, 1843. Nisto’s—tue New Specracie Orgra.—To-night, after two weeks hard drilling and rehearsing, Le Meadow) is to be pro- duced with all the attractive adjuncts of appropriate costume, scenery, &c. The subject is historical, having occurred in Paris in the reign of Henry lI., in 1582. The Clerk’s Meadow was opposite the old Louvre on the Seine, and was a great place of ren- dezvous for fighting duels. There is not a young lady who plays the piano, but must have seen por- tions of the music, by Herold, ot Le Pré-aux-Clercs. The music is of a very superiorkind, and which that sweetest of songetresses M’selle Calvé will no doubt sing with her usual success. We expect to see every Amateur de la Musique at the Garden this evening. Nothing secures a crowded audience so much as good music, sung by talented singers, and when produced in a dramatic form, we think they give greater satisfaction than by any other medium. M’selle Calvé caused a great sensation in this piece atthe South, and assisted by Madam Le Court, M’selle Lagier, Le Court, Bernard, Mathieu, Des- sonville, and Oternot, the effect of the whole Ope- ra to-night must be a triumphant one. Cuatnam Taratee—Kirny acatn.—Yes, Kirby has returned—Kirby, the ©hatham theatre favorite —Kurby of the “hi! hi!” boys—even Joseph H. Kirby has returned to the Chatham theatre, and wil! play Damon there to-night. Now, that’s enough in our opinion ; but Thorne thinks otherwise, and so has secured the celebrated Monstre Paul, and if he can’t draw a full house, and all creation besides, then the Chatham had better close for the season, and take a julep. es City Intelligence, Tux Court or Gewenat Seesions commences the July term this morning at 11 o’clock. The Grand and Petit Jurors will be sworn in, and the Court will then adjourn until Wednesday morning, Tuesday being the Fourth of July. Common Covxcit—Both Boards of Aldermen meet this afternoon at five e’clock, and in joint meeting on Wedncs’ day next. wert Money.—A man, who calls him- on, entered a Jew’s clothing store in y day morning, and pur- ¢ a five dollar note in payment, and inchange. On leaving the store, the note qassentto a neighboring porter house to as- certain whether it genuine or not, when it was pro- nounced a counterteit. The Jew immediately ga suit, and on finding Barney, stated the case ‘with irnestness of his rat that he asked { of the statement, the ', losis caution, surrendered it, and Barney pocket the note, telling the old clo’ dealer to go to the devil,as he could do nothing with him. Not to be duped, the clothes man se- cured the person of Barney, and took him to the police officeto answer the charge. The counterfeit note was amusement of our citizens on the annual jubilee of the Fourth, but none we apprehend will be more agreeable than those to be presented in a capacions and admirably-arranged tent, of immense dimen- sions, which Mr. Delavan, of the firm of Welsh, Minn & Co, has erected in the upper part of the @ity for the exhibition of the performances of their far-famed company of Kquestrians, &c. The tent is said to be onc of singular elegance, and to be wrique in its arrangements ; and how sultry soever tae weather may be, here comfort will be combined with agreeable amusement. Sream-snip ror THE Brazitian Governmet.—A fine steam ship, built for the Brazilian'government. was launched a few weeks since frem a dock-yard near the West India Docks, London. She is to have two 78 horse-power engines. There are no less than siq steam-ships fitting out in these docks for foreign governments, nzmely, two for the Rus§ sian service, one Neapolitan, oae Turkish. one Bra zilian, and one Belgium. not recovered, but the four dollars given to Barney by the Jew were found in his pockets. Fata Accipenr tx «A Mite Yaan.—On Sat evening, about seven o’clock, as the men engaged in Mr, Evan ’ milkyard,were drawing off the swill from the tillery into the cistern, a portion of the boiling liquid got through the flood gate or slide into the trough from whence the c drank out, and some of them were very badly wealded—the gate was immediately closed, and the cattle turned into the yard. Griffith Griflit man, alsoin the employ of Mr. Davis, was c one of the cows while the scalded parts were being drs sed she caught the cow py the nose and one born, when, by some turn, she drove the other horn into his left groin, rupturing the illia artery and entering the pelvis, The poor fellow died in about fifteen minutes alter the fata) thrust. De. James McDonall, who had been called in previons to death, pronounced, after a post mortem ex: amination, thatthe cause of death war hemmorege from the rupture of the illis artery. Verdict, that the deceased pe to his death by being gored by # cow in the left groin. Great Movement ron Orgcon.—Two hundred wagons and about 1,000 persona, left their rendez- yous at Elm Grove, afew days seo for Oregon. ‘They had no less than two thousand five hundred head of stock with them!— Western Missourian, ‘day Albany, [Correspondence ot the Herald.) Axpany, July Ist, 1843. The Weather—The Springs—Repeal—The Presiden- cy—The Fourth. Mr. Eprror:— The warm weather of the past two or three weeks has caused great numbers of people to pass through our city on their way to Niagara, Sharon, Saratoga, and other places of summer resort, so that those watering places already present a gay appearance, and will be more fashionabie than for years past. I expected to see among the arrivals James Gordon Bennett and lady, but learned a few days since that they had sailed for England. The visit of Mr. Ben- nett to Great Britain will, without doubt, be pro- ductive of great benefits to the mercantile commu- nity of this couatry, from the arrangements which it is his intention to make. I presume he will fur- nish to the thousands who read the Herald, letters similar to those which he wrete on his former visit to England and Scotland, and which were so ea- gerly sought for. The Repeal movement has reached Albany and Troy, and a large meeting was held here a few days since, at which Peter Gansevoort presided, assisted by some of the most prominent citizens, as officers and speakers; a collection was made for the parce ot advancing the cause, and about $250 realized. Although the whig common council refused to extend to the President of the United States the hospitalities of the city, the democrats had entered into the matter .with spirit, and the preparations were ina state of forwardness to receive him ina manner becoming the station he holds, when much to our regret, we learned, that in consequence of the death ot Mr. Legare, he had determined to return immediately to Washington. This has caus- ed great disappointment, as we were desirous to see Mr. sets as also his cabinet. _ I believe that Dixon H. Lewis is now at Saratoga; ashe is one of the most active supporters of Mr. Calhoun, his visit to the north is probably for the purpose of strengthening the “ cast iron man.” Ia this region, Mr, Calhoun has but few advocates. Mr. Van Buren is the strong man in thiscity, though from what I can gather, General Cass hasa great many friendsin the western part of the State, so that it is at least doubtful whether Van Buren gets his own State unanimously in the convention; in fact, the democrats ate beminalng, to consider whether he could be elected, if he should receive the nomina- tion, and I know pews who say that though they wish to have him re-elected, they are not willing to hazard another defeat by supporting him. If I may judge trom appearances, | do not believe that either Van Buren or Calhoun can succeed in the convention. The dissensions between the frienda of those gentlemen, will prevent each from sust:in- ing the other, and the probable consequence will be that both will be dropped, and General Lewis Cass selected. Atall events, Cass will go into the con- vention with a strong force, and among the States which will support him, may be named Ohio, Penn- sylvania, Michigan, Indiana, and Lilinois. Should he receive the nomination, be assured that a tri- umphant victory will be the result; for his splendid qualities and services asa soldier and statesman, will unite the whole party as one man,which neither Calhoun or Van Suren could do. Among the whigs, Clay is the only one seriously talked of here, and f presume he will receive the nomination of his party. Tnotice that the whigs in Georgia have elected their delegates, and instructed them to vote for Clay. Willis Hall, the late Attorney General, hasbeen invited to deliver an oration on the 4th of July; we expect a good one. CLINTON.

Y., engravers,) and wears every appearance of being genuine. The public are cautioned e on the watch against other forgeries of this descrip- ‘ion. We have recently remarked on the great change for the better which has taken place in the management of Corporate companies. This is peculiarly manifest in the affairs of the Harlem Railroad Company. Instead of hay- ing a set of directors to borrow money from, andto waste the means of the read, the present management came into power when the concern was in a most delapidated condition. They immediately reformed its conduct, and have, in afew months, not only earned over current ex. penses $20,000, and spent itin improving the road, inclu- ding $8,000 for 8 new care; but have’ prosecuted its exten- sion to White Plains, with great vigor. The inhabitants of Westchester contributed most of the means for that purpose, and five of the directors subscribed $5,000 cash each. This will open a rich and populous section of country to the trade of New York, and be highly bencfi cial as woll to the citizens of this city as to thoseof ‘Westchester county. The highly favorable accounts received on Saturday from Europe, produced a singular effect upon the stock market. We remarked, on a previous occasion, that the dealers were divided on the question as to whether stocks would return from Europe for sale or not, at the high prices current here. The ‘‘bears” operated largely in expectation that stocks would be sent over, and when the ve-eel arrived without bringing any,they endeavored to get in their contracts as best they might. The chief feature of the stock news was the movement of the 1Ili- neis commissioners, who left here in the Caledonia on the IstJuly. Oa that day the stock speculation here was at its heighth; sales werejas follows:—TIllinoys41; Ohio 6’s, 93; Kentucky , par; New York 511858, par; Iadiena 6's, 40.— There was thev every prospect that prices would go higher. That vessel arrived out on the 13th, and the Great Western sailed on the 17th, consequently the com- missioners could have been in London but one day. The London Morning Chronicle, however, remarked as fol lows:— The news from America receive to-day is calculated to revive the spirits of our merchants and manuiacturers, as weilas ofthe untortunate holders of American State Stocks. The effect of the news has beeo good, and is likely to promote activity in trade, whenit has had time to operate in the manutacturing districts. It appears that the desire for cultivatiog more extended commercial in- tercourse with this country is gaining ground in the Uni- ted States, and that some of the northern manufacturing States had shown an inclination to abandon the restric. tive doctrines, and to support the principles ofa liberal ta- riff. The advance in the price of State Stocks ertain- Jy encouraging, and the news altogether from the United Stotes of a cheering chart re In relation to Hiinois, a paper remarked as follows:— It is stated in the American papers, of the latest dates, that the commissioners ol the State of Lilinois, charged with procuring subscriptions to the new loan for the completion of the Illinois aod Michigan Canal, have suc. ceeded in obtaining the assent of more than two-thirds in interest of the holders of canal bonds on that side of the water, to the new project; and that they had left for Bos- ton, to embark for England. If they should succeed ia inducing the English bondholders to subscribe, and the new canal-lr into effect, the following will be the condition of the State debt of Illinois :— By settlement with the banks, the debt was By salvoti 1 i t propert, #3000 sale of internal improvement pro; . 1,720, By settlement with MaAlister and Stubbens, 600,000 By the provisions of this canal-law 5,000,600 $10,420,000 This, deducted from $14,497,471 94c., the original amount ofthe State Debt, leaves but $4,077,471 94c., the interest of which, and ultimately the principal, can be paid, with suitable effort, by a State possessing she vast na. tural resources of Illinois. This was the tone of papers heretofore loud in their denunciations of American credits. The practical cffort ofthe feeling uponthe stock market is seen in the fol- lowing comparative prices from Barings’ circulars of April 4, 1848, and June 17:— Amenican Stocks in Lonpon.

Notwith- standing the rabid tone of the tory prints, every vessel, which has since left this side has carried better accounts of the general improvement in affairs here, aad the boag which left yesterday carried accounts of the taking of the government five per cent loan, ond its ad vance to five per cent premium. Tho object of the mission of the Illinois commissioners had been announced before their arrival,and from those most interested, the proposition was favorably entertained — The project is so well calculated to procure ultimate pay. ment of the debt, and the disposition of capitalists ao prone to settle, that there is very] little doubt of success in that quarter. This feel.ng is well described in the following extract from the London Times, a paper famous for its at. tacks upon American credit. A correspondent of the “Times” closes a8 follows in relation to the Pennsylvania proposition :— There is but one course for us to pt be unanimousin itto be successful, viz.: to button up our ockets, listen te no pro 8, however plausil pat, but to scout from our | houses, our society, and all inter- course, every American, and any emissaries they here, until the: A hi up all arrears of di Convinced that all we @ with these ends upon our doing so, forgive me by your Valuable columns to impress: all thore who have already for imploring t! that conviction u ‘i suff-red, and to prevent iny more victims to American dishonesty. On this the “ Times” remarks as follow: wholly absurb, that, except as a curiosity in istress there would be no excuse for placing it before the public eye. When a man is absolutely bankrupt, wheg ther from knavery or imprudence—and the seme reason- ing will apply to State governments—the effort naturally is, not to irritate and annoy him for what is past and irre- trievable, but to get out of him as good a dividend as cir- cumstances may permit. It is on this ground alone that Illinois makes the com: promise, She does not ask them to give up their bonds, but totekethe canal, finish it and pay themselves. Astho parties interested have expressed themselves in favor of this move—success is nearly certain. One of the most diegraceful proceedings on the part of the federal government transpired yesterday, in the payment of the interest on the governmentstock. The tix months interest due last January,} aceraing from [July, was peil in fall, ‘The interest due yesterday was not paid in fli, in consequence of orders from the Secretary of the Trea- sury, to the effect that, there is butone hundred and eigh-
