Waller. rwas.—Our readers will please bear in id-can be obtained daily, on the arrival Tue Exrraprtion Case.—The case of Christina Gilmour, as will be seen by our report, now only awaits the decision of the Commissioner, and the action of the Executive thereon, and then it will be seen whether the Ashburton treaty in that respect is of any worth. No act ef Congress has incorpora- ted that treaty amongst the statutes of these United States, and until some such enactment be passed, the treaty is of questionable efficien- ey. The officer sent in pursuit of this un- fortunate woman, intelligent though he un- doubtedly is and possessed of much information which can be legitimately given in evidence to strengthen other legal testimony, is clearly unable to establish such a prima facia case as the law of the State of New York would require to justify a commitment for trial if the offence had been com- mitted within her jurisdiction. How then shall cases of this description be sustained? Must, in all instances, witnesses sufficient be sent across the ‘Atlantic to esiablish the guilt of fugitives from justice, or will the written evidence taken by the investigating magis- trate suffice? The admissability of the latter is more than questionable; and the inconvenience and burdensome expense attending the former, are such as to defeat the ends of justice in the great ma- jority of cases that may arise. A writ of habeas cor- pus has been issued in the case of this “ daftScotch lassie,” as she is styled by her counsel, and it is an- ticipated that it will be carried up to the Su- preme Court of the United States, where the binding force of the treaty itself will be contested. Here, then, this poor unfortunate—for that she is a mental imbecile we reiterate—must remain until the lawyers and the politicians have decided whether the treaty shall be enforced in good faith. If the law courts deem the treaty consti- tutional, there is yet much machinery ne- cessary to render it more than a dead let- ter, and this alone can the politicians supply” But will such a Congress be elected as will be willing to leave untarnished the laurels which Mr, Webster gained by his negotiation of the treaty of Washington? The case becomes invested witha new interest when viewed in this aspect, and it is not unlikely that a combinatien of circumstances may oostruct the operation of the tenth article of the treaty under which the surrender of this priso- ner is demanded. Tue Drama.—On this subject an article appeared in the editorial columns of the Herald on Sunday, which should have appeared amongst the miscella- neous matter of the paper, with an acknowledg- ment of the source whence it was extracted—an article in Blackwood’s Magazine. The error is susceptible of easy explanation. Any person pos- sessing but a limited knowledge of newspaper business, knows full well thatcommunications on all conceivable subjects are pouring in upon the luck- jess wight whose bad fortune has made him an edi- tor, and that passages from publications which have created an interest in the mind of some enthusiast, are transcribed and transmitted to newspaper estab- lishments for more extensive publication. The ar- ticle in question was thus written out, and brought into this office by a gentleman whose character has placed him above suspicion of fraud, and by some inexplicable accident, it found itself gracing our first column. We, however, have no hesitation in saying that the article was worthy of the place which it occupied, and that it had an especial appro- priateness to the present circumstances in which the drama is placed. Tue Governor’s Movements.—The Governor yesterday, in company with Gen. Storms and Al- dermun Browne, visited the Establishments for the Inspection of Beef and Pork, and examined them very minutely. After that, he accompanied Col. Bankhead on a visit to Governor’s Island, where he was received with the usual salute. From thence, he went to Staten Island and visited the Quaran- tine Hospitals, &c., under Dr. Van Hoovenburgh. After dining there, the Governor returned to the city, and visited the Board of Assistant Alderment; then took teawith both Boards—visited the Board of Aldermen—and returned to Howards’ Hotel for the night. To-day he visits Brooklyn and Greenwood Ceme- tery, and from thence down to the Hamilton House and Fort Hamilton. He will be accompanied by Mayor Sprague, of Brooklyn, Gen. Storms, Col. Hamilton and others. To-morrow he is expected to visit the Farms on Long Island, and Blackwell’s Island. Unrrep States Sup FauMoutu.—As an instance of the power of the commanding officer of our naval vessels in active service, to contribute to the comfort of the officers and crew under bis command, we will state that this beautiful ship, the pet of the Navy, having been in commission twenty months, on arduous duty, requiring the vigilance of the officers to the utmost extent, returns to port under the most favorable auspices, every officer and man on board in love with the ship aud her commander. There are no charges preterred, for a court martial— there are no unkind feelings—there is nothing but the most perfect harmony, which, with the mania that exists for court martials, is a most astounding fact. Capt. Melntosh is the finest example of a gen- Ueman it has been our good fortune to meet, and to the fatherly care of the young officers under his command, and his regard for the more experienced, must be attributed the good feeling that exists be- tween every individual that sailed in his ship. “Commonore Daias.”—The Philadelphia Ga- zette speaking of the late articles going the rounde of the papers headed ‘* Death of Commodore Dal- las,” says they have given unnecessary pain to many friends of the gallant commodore. The offi- cer recently deceased was named “ Alexander J. Dallas Brown” wutil within a few years past, when he had it chenged to ‘“‘ Alexander J. Dallas.” He bore the rank of Commander in the Navy, a very different one from that of Commodore. He was, we helieve, a cousin of the Commodere, and of the Hon. George M. Dallas. The statement respecting his death which we published in the Herald was correct. {x} A salute of thirteen guns was fired yester- day on board the U. S. Revenue Cutter Ewing,and the colors displayed at half mast during the day, as a tribute of respect to the memory of Captain Nicho- las Bicker, late Commander of the Ewing, who died on Saturday evening. 0g The old Ironsides and Flerida veteran, Gen. Henderson, commandant of marines, arrived here ia good health on Saturday morning, from Middle- townand took up his quarters at the American. He eft at 10 e’clock yesterday morning for his head quarters, Washington City. Storm in Paapetraia.—Philadelphia was visit- ed on Saturday by a very severe shower of rain ac- companied by wind, thunder and lightning, about 3 o'clock, P.M. The Times says it has wrought a delight{ol change in the atmosphere.

Cire Court, and toe question of tho prisoner’s sanity having deen already settled, Mr. Lonn,who appeared for the Brite | ish authorities, proceeded to establish ase; whereon, | te justify her surrender, he called the constable, George McKay, who had pursued the prisoner {rom Scotland to this age? a examined him to prove the murder, the identity of the prisoner, kc. | He deposed that he knew John Gilmour, the deceased husband of the prisoner; he saw him at bis house in 1n- chi 1n on or about the 6th of January last, and he heard | Of his death at the time it occurred. 5 Mr. Wanwen desired the witness to confine himself to facts within his own knowledge. Mr. Lorp continued his examination, and the witness said he ceased to see the deceased about after the 11th January; he never saw the deceased after that time, until he saw the body exhumed for medical examination on the 22d April; he wes an officer of justice, ans as sueh he attended the disinterment ; he was Superintendent of Police of the County of Renfrew; the body having been disinterred, a portion of the stomach was given to him, he secul in a box and ror brs to Dr. Wildy, ucceeding exhibited to him a quantity of arsenic which bad been discovered in the stomach by three physicians, who had applied the usual tests; inqui- ry was instituted as to the cause of death in consequence of certain reports which were in cireulation. Mr. Waxnen objected to the production of reports as evidence in this case, and said if reports were to be re- ceived, he should feel it to be his duty to give other reports in evidence. The Commissionen, after hearing a few observations from Mr.Warner and Mr. Lord, decided that he must con: fine the examination to legal evidence. Mr. Lorp continued the examination, ond the witness said, after the death of John Gilmour the prisoner return- ed to the house of her fathe of foul death? again objected to reports being given in ing, the able evi- prisoner fled from justice, and that it w w the conduct dence in a preliminary examination to of the prisoner. Mr. Wanwer said a foul death was assumed, of which there w yet no proot. Mr Lonrp replied that he had proved a death, and adis- interment ; then there was a report and an’ immediate flight, and he contended that it was admissible. The Commissioner said he thought it was admissible testimony. Mr. Wanner intimated then that he should have to ap- peal from the Commissioner’s decisi Mr. Lonp desired the witness to state the circumstan- ces attending the flight, and he said that after the reports got into circulation he went down to the house of the de- ceased and made enquiries from the servants, and a war- rant was thereupon issued against the prisoner, which he and another officer proceeded to her fathers house in Ayr- shire to execute, and then he found she had fled. No erson about her father’s house could give him any in- formation about her, and after making some enquiries in the neighborhood he returned home. Hesent officers to difterent points to make enquiries but without the desired result. He next made enquiries ubout the purchase of the arsenic, and he founda shop in Renfrew kept by one Hugh Wiley where it had been sold. Mr. Wanner objected to this evidence as it wasa mat- ter that was not within the witness's personal know- ge. Some discussion ensued on this point, in the course of which it wos ascertained thatthe witness had seen an en- try in the Druggist’s book which was the amount of in- formation which he possessed. Mr. Lorp contended that he could give particular acts in correspondent tisfy the commissioner for the pur. poses of this enqu Mr. Wanven denied his right to introduce reports and hearsay evidence, tor the purpose of bolstering upabad case under a bad treaty—a treaty which was so bad that it was not worth the paper on which it was written. Be- cause the British government had entered into a treaty with the government of the United States, all the rules of evidence were not to be broken down, and his client gi- ven up, right or wrong. ‘The Commissioner said that circumstances which the witness had heard from others were inadmissible. Mr. Lorn saidthe correspondence of facts made them evidence. ‘The witness then went on to say that he satisfied him- self of the prisoner’s absence on the 13th of May. He was instructed by the Sheriff of Renfrew to make a fur- ther investigation of the matter, and he accordingly pro- ceeded to Cumberland in Ayrshire, and at the coach of- fice he ascertained that aman named Jamison and his wife had taken the coach that morning. He did not know Ja- mison. He learnt that Jamison’s wife had left for Carlisle on the 24th of April, being the morning on which he went to apprehend the prisoner. He proceeded by the coach: to Carlisle, and enquired on the night of his arrival of the coachman for persons answering the description of Jami. son and his wile, and he learned that they had arrived in and left Carlisle. Mr. Warner again objected to this course of examina- tion. How, he asked, did the witness know of his own knowledge that it was the same coach and coachman that breught the Jamisons. Thecoachman’s having told him so did not constitute it admissible evidence. Mr Lorp contended that he hada right to show that the witness was led from place to place by discovering the route of persons calling themselves Jamison, and why he was led to a certain result. Alter argument, the point was abandoned, and the exa- mination contiaued. He hada warrant forthe arrest of this woman, and he found her on beard the brig Excel, on the 2ist June in this oy He ascertained thatshe had assumed the name of irs. Spiers. She denied on board that her name was Christina Gilmour. He was led fromCarlisleto Liver- pool by the de criptions of certain persons, and from a peraon named Mo- books, and from the description given to him— Mr. Wanner objected to this information being given. i 2 description which had it it was deemed inadmissible, and the witness proceeded He found two persons of the name of Spiers. He after- wards found two persons calling themselves Spiers on board the brig Exel, of which the prisoner was one. Mr. Warner cross.examined the witness at great length. He said he was a police officer for the county of Renfrew, also a sheriff’s officer for that cor ' His jurisdiction was confined to thatcounty. He was in no other respect an officer, minister, or authority ef the General Government (those being the words of the trea- ty.) Of his own knowledge he knew nothing of the prisoner’s criminality. He was examined closely on the subject of the prisoner's identity. He said he recollected seeing her at the house of Gilmour the deceased, at the time he had previously mentioned. He was next exam ined es to his knowledge of arsenic, and be seid he had seen it at least fitty times, but he had never been engaged in any business or profession which would bring him in connection with that poison. The body of Mr. Gilmour had been interred some three or four months when the disinterment took place, and he afterwards saw & small quantity of arsenic which had been taken from the sto- mach. He had before seen arsenic which had been taken from deceased persons, and he had no doubt that the sub- stance which he saw was arsenic. He was examined as to his knowledge that the disinterred body waa the body of the priconer’s husband, and he replied that the grave ‘was pomted out by the friends of the deceased, whose name wes on the coffin plat ‘The crost examination was continued at great length on these and a variety of other points. Mr. Lorp said he should there rest his case. Mr. Wanner said he should onject to the gentleman’s calling additional testimony at a subsequent stage of the proceedings if he rested now. Mr. Loup said he should rest then, and moved for a warrant for the surrender of the prisoner. Mr. Waanen that he moved that she be discharged. Mr. Lorp—Have you any evidence to call? Mr. Wanwer—I do not deem any necessary, as you have made out no case against her. Mr. Lonv—I will sum u) you have apy evidence call it. Mr. Warnen—if you will agree to sum up asthe cose now stands, 1 willsay that I have no evidence. He then proceeded to address the Commissioner on the case asit stood, and he contended that there was no legel evidence giventhatamuder had been committed, or|if a murder had been committed, that the prisoner was th2 guilty per- son. The body from which the arsnic was taken was not identified, but if it were, there was no evidence toshow that the arsnic had not been administered by his own hand. He also raised objections to the warrant, and very ably discussed the various points in the case, and urged thatthe Commissioner was bound to set the prisoner at the case now stands, but if Mr. Lory addressed the Commissioner, and contended that there was sufficient evidence to warrantthe surren- der of the prisoner to the British authority. waThe Commussionen intimated that he should take seve- ral days to consider the conclusion to which he should peo | and the prisoner was remanded to goal to await the result. (cj One of the Equestrian Companies of Messrs. Welsh & Delavan, so extensively known as eques- trian directors, will leave this city to-morrow by the steamer Massachusetts for the city of Boston, where they open on Monday next in a pavilion which is caleulated has capacity to contain five thousand persons. Perhaps no equestrian company in the United States contains so much talent as that which is about to visit our sister city.

Weighers, Guagers, $e—Alderman Scouxs called up document No. 10, being anordinance to repeal an ordi- nance appointing weighers, guagers, &¢. and throwing the business open to all who are capable. Lost by a vote of 11 to 6. The Street Contract again—Alderman Waterman call- ed up document No, 2, being an ordinance to divide the city into sixteen districts, and making sixteen contracts to sweep the streets of the city. Adopted. Alderman Watrxman moved a re-consideration of the yote on the first section of the ordinazce, which was lost at the last meeting by atie vote. He stated that although he voted in favor of the passage of the section, yet it be- ing a tie vote he thought the courtesy of the Board would grant him the privilegeof moving a re-consideration. Alderman Puxpy decided that the gentleman could not move & reconsideration, he having voted in the affirma- tive which wes lost. Alderman Watrnman moved an appeal from the deci- sion of thechair, which was sustained by a vote of 10 to 6. Hethen introduced a new section, dividing the city into eight sections and granting eight contracts. Alderman Lee opposed any plan except that ofthe old system. Alderman Emptans also advocated the old plan in pre- ference, and said he was ‘Spposed to all contracts. Alderman Titov said thet he had seen or heard of no evidence that the people were opposed to contracts for sweepmg the streets properly made with an eye to econo- my, for the city’s welfare. Alderman Emmans said that he believed that the gen- tlemen fromthe 5th and 9th wards had acted in bad faith when they voted for the appointment of superintendent of streets and street inspectors—that he considered the contract system in any and every shape as a Federal dec- trine, as it placed power and might in the hands of the few, and notthe many. He believed that the people were Opposed to any contract for sweeping the streets, and had so decided at the last election—and he also believed that the people expected that the present contract would be repealed before the month of May had expired, instead of its being talked of in the month of July. Alderman Warexman replied, and contended that econ. omy called for the sweeping by contract—and figures and numbers shewed that that plan was far preferable. Alderman Hartrieco said that the reason why the ex- penses in 1835 and 1836 for sweeping streets were s0 hea- vy, was because wages then were $2 and $2 50 per day, and also that the great fire and heavy saow of tl added tens of thousauds of dollars to the current The debate was continued by Aldermen Tillou, man, Emmans, and Lee, and the battle so often fought was refought until half pest 9 o’clock, when a vote wes called on the first section. Aiderman Scotes moved to amend by making 16 dis- tricts. Alderman Briaas said he had yet to learn that the con. tract system wi st economical. He had seen no evidence ofthat fact, and he therefore could not see how ® contractor could perform the service any cheaper than the corporation. ne \d he was opposed to any contract system not that he was decidedly in favor of the eld sys. tem, but he thought thatesch ward could sweep their own Streets, under the direction of the street Inspector. The motion to amend was loss by a vote of 7to 10. The ayes and na: re then called on the first section as offered py Alderman Waterman, which was lost by Aves—Aldermen Clayton, Tillou, Nash, Waterman, Brevoort, Scoles, and Rawson—7.

The resolution adopted by this Board,as passed in May, refusing to pay the street contractors for any furtcer ser- vices was then ordered te be sent to the Board of Assistant Alsermen. The City Watch.—Alderman Briccs offered a resolu- tion calling for a committee to inquire into certain char; made against a Captain of the watch in a paper called “The Subterranean.” Alderman Uxperwoop opposed the reading of the arti- cle. Alderman Scoves advocated it. Alderman Tiiuov said he thought such allegations should receive notice; if nottrue they should be contra- dicted, and if correct should be enquired into. The resolution and article were finally referred toa special committee consisting of Alderman Briggs, Tillou and Woodhull.

This petition was advocated by Assistant Alderman Smith,and opposed by Messrs. Bogge, Williams and Pettigrew. | Al- dermaa Boggs wanted the matter referred to the Commit- tee on Police, Watch and Prisons, with power.

On examination of the body she was found to be enciente, and other appearances combined lead to a belief that like Mary Rogers and the German girl found in the well atthe Mansion on Murray Hill, she has been the victim of her seducer. Her dress represented her as in humble life, she being clad in a figured calico frock, muslin petticoat and chemise, white cotton stockings and black leather shoes. Her hair is dark, nearly black, and her teeth are all complete. From the decomposed state of the body it was impossible to recognise any features, but her person conveyed the impression that she was about 17 yearsof age. The finding of the body of aman in any of the waters adjacent to our populous city never creates much surprise, but that of a woman is so strange and peculiar that suspicion always follows the discovery. A post mortem examination will take place to day by Dr. Wm. 8. Tompkins at the dead house in the Park, where the body can be seen by those desirous to recognise it. A Pri.apetrnian in Antuony Sra evening a Mr. Joshua Hall,of Second street, pt was attracted by the luring smiles of Catharine Carnes, to the house of No. 131 Anthony street, and while there was robbed of his pocket book contait tag upwards of $63, with which Catharine made herself suddenly absent. He followed her closely up and discovered her whereabouts in a grocery kept by one Terrence O’Rouke, No. 163 An- thony street, to whose safe keeping she had consigned a portion of the money, which Mr. Hall recognized, one of the bills being athree dollar bill of the broken bank of the North River Banking Company ; also a ten dollar bill onthe Mechanics’ Bank of Philadelphia. Ovficer McGrath arrested the frail one and found in the room a $60 bill of the Phiadelphia Bank, which with some small bills made upthe amount lost. Catharine was full committed, and Mr. Hall taught a lesson to walk Bro: way in New York with more caution and propriety. Suppen Deatn at tae Tower Tasie.—@n Sunday afternoon as Mrs. Margaret Flick, residing at No. 111 Goerck street, was combing her hair and finishing her toilet, shesuddenly fell down andexpired. Her health for years past had been very good, but she occasionally suffered a slight indisposition,caused by palpitation of the heart, but not of sufficient seriousness to cause her friends rm for her life. The medical gentlemen called in to aid the Coroner ia determining the cause ef death, were of opinion that it resulted from “disease of the heart” and such was the verdict of the Jury. Board of Supervisors, This body met yesterday in the room of the Board of lermen, and various uccornts were pre- sented for settle which were referred to committees. One bill came up from Judge Ingraham, for extra services performed, but it was laid on the table, as it was not deemed proper to pay a judge extra compensa- tion for attending the drawing of Grand Juries. A bill, amounting to $208, came from Mr. Strang, for services rendered asthe locum tenens of Mr. JK. Whiting, Dis. trict Atterney, which Mr. Whiting certit correct. It was referred to a committee. Judge Lynch also p sented a Claim for $95, as the balance of his salary for the term for which he was appointed one of the judges of the Court of Sessions, he hav! ng been paid only to the tim when his judgship wasterminated by act of the Legisla- ture, which repealed the criminal court bill. This bill was likewise referred. Another bill ie from Mr. Smith, one of the locum tenens of the District Attorney, for the sum of $112, which was referred to a committee. Some debate occurred on the adoption of a resolution, re- commending the Board of Eduaation to hire, and not to purchase school houses, and to resort to the most rigid economy. The resolution was adopted by a vote of 12 to 8, and then the Board adjourned to the first Mondsy in September. Chreult Court Before Judge Kent. Jury 17—Parnel vs. Wm. Lamberson.—This was an ac- tion for breach of promise of marriage. The defendant is the Commander of a fast sailing clipper, built for trad- ing voyages from New York to various ports in North and South Carolina, and the plaintiff is a milliner and dress maker, residing in Madison street in thiscity. John Jones, who is ascribed as “‘a silver beater by trade, and a lamp lighter by profession,” and his wife, who appeared to bethe bosom friend of the plaintiff, proved that the gal- Jant Captain and the fair milliner hailed from the same village in the land of steady habits. Inthe jyear 1839,the defendant come to visit the plaintitt at the house of John Jones, where she resided, and on every visit to this port he repeated his visit; they set together in herroom; they walked outtogether, end a very close intimacy wi shown to exist for the 5] oféyears. Atlength, hew- ever, the blighting intelligence was brought to the plain. tifi that thedefendant had disregarded ail his plighted faith, and vowsof love and eternal devotion, and had linked his fate for life with another—in short he was mar. ried at some other port, which inthe courseof his busi. ness, he wes called to visit. No reeson was given for his cruel neglect ofthe plaintiff, but various letters were read in evidence which the gay Lothario had written to the plaintiff, in one ot which he lamented the necessity which existed for young men to lay up some capital, before they undertook the responsibilities ofthe married life, and he expressed the hope that he should soon be able talk the matter over with “his dearest girl” on his arrival in Nev York, when he promised they would have a “regular built promenade,” In another letter he complained af Selina’s (plaintiff) not having written tohim, and he intimated that if she was not sincere, they would “dissolve eltoge. ther.” In another letter still, he used the following cu rious language which we give verbatim et literatim:—"Il’m glad to hear that all my old grass widows are well es I am. If] wasthereI would try and alieviate their tress.” Inthesame letter he says “tell Patty te behave herself and keepher mouth clean, and 1 will kiss her when I come back.” The evidenci s deemed sufficient to satisfy the minds ofthe jury, and they accordingly found for the plaintif—damages Court of Common Pleas, Jury 17-—At the opening of the Court this morning, no Causes were ready for trial,and the court immediately adjourned.

Mercury and white lead form the basisof many artificial pigments and cosmetics, but either will, from ita ponderosity, fall to the bottom, if made up in aliquid form, which cen be easily detected— but if made up in the form of bo bs bear it must be ena- lysed before it can be discovered—consequently, cosmet- ic Rowders are dangerous to use. Not so with t ‘alm of Eden.” Itis not poisoned with any of these but is so salubrious in its nature and beautify ing in it feots, that, alter a short time using, it improves the skin to perfection, rendering it white, smooth and healthy. It is a sovereign remedy for freckles, tan, sun burn, red blotches, pimples, and other defects of the skin. ’The names ef some of the first class of physicians in this city, who are personal acquaintances of the lady who is the discoverer of the “Balm of Eden,” and who, Bevin been made acquainted with ita ingredients, pronounce it per- fectly harmless, and yet efficacious, may be seen at the store 357 Broadway, where the Balm is for sale at 50 cts. and $1 per bottle. ‘We caunot refrain from giving an extract from a letter just received from a female friend in Philadelphia:— “Dear Madam—Many presents have been sent by you, butnone have been more thankfully received than the halt dozen bottles of your delightiul Balm. You are truly fortunate in producing such acombination of pure and harmless ingredients. It is of the purest milky whiteness, and its effects are wonderful. Three bottles have proved amply sufficient to remove every defect you remember to have seen on the face of Maria Louisa.” The above extract, written by one of the first ladies in Philadelphia, will prove how highly this Balm is appre. ciated by those who use it—and if further proof be need. a ed, it can be had at 357 B: CONSUMPTION AND LIVER COMPLAINT CAN BE CURED.—Tée genuine Dr. Taylor’s Balsam of Liverwort, prepared only at the original 3 Bowery, has shown conclusively that liver compleint, consumption, coughs, colds, asthma, spitting of blood, and all other diseases of the chest and lungs, can alone be cured by this vegetable medicine, During the last ten years it has been taken by over thirty thousand persons, who, with hardly an exception, have been relieved, an: cured of affections of the lungs and liver ; and some of the severest cases of ane psia of years me have been entirely cured.

Thereare now many unpleasant rumors in re gard tothe Farmers’ Loan. A large holder has sold out; and the price has fallen. There 1 but little wonder at this, when we consider the state of the farming interests. A “black tariff” hanging over them, prices solow as to bring scarcely the cost of production, what remains for them to pay mortgages? Money is worth in the market but four per cent, yet the cultivators ofthe soil are trying to pay these companies 7 per vent ! and cannot do it. The following isthe coinage at the Branch Mint in N.

China and the Brazils offer an immense opening for the con- sumption of those lower qualities of cotton fabrics in which the United States cen successfully compete with all other countries ; a fact sufficiently evident in the late export of goods tothe English market. The ability of the United States to do thishas been the result of the low grade of the compromise act. Ithas taught and compel. led manufacturers to work at rates which put their wares on a level with those of England in neutral mai kets. The approximation to free trade has built up the manufacturers; yet now, with a mole like blindness, they are destroying themselves by returning to a system of protection which is no less destructive to their interests thantothe cemmercial and manufactur‘ng interests.— Under the compromise act they have attained a position in which they can compete with England in the Brazil and China markets. These two markets are the most in- portant outlets of British goods, With the Brazils a trea. ty of commerce has existed on the part of Great Britain, which expires in 1844. All Europe has combined during the past year to exclude British goods {rom the continent, by a system far more efficacious than that of Napoleon. It is to underwork her. France has prohibited many articles of English production, and new on the eve of a new treaty between England end the Brezils, the in- fluence of France at the latter court has become para- mount by the intermarriage of the reigning families.— ‘The bearing which this will have upon the new treaty may easily be divined. Where is the United States at this juncture? Is she looking after her interest in that quarter? Is she endeavoring to make good use of the ability of her manufacturers to sell cheap, in order to supplant England altogether in that market, and open an outlet for $25,000,000 of cotton goods for the eastern manufacturers? Far from it. A miserable race of poli- ticians are leading the manufacturers by the nose, and endeavoring to persuade them that, by raising the tariff, keeping out Brazilian produce, end irritating its govern- ment at the very moment when conciliation is most re- quisite, their welfare is promoted. The mevitable result of such conduct will be, that England and the United States will be put in the same category, and the new regulations of Brazil will discriminate in favor of France, depriving the manufacturers of a market worth at least $20,000,000 per annum. The farsical assemblage - of lawyers at Washington, called a Government, have appointed no Minister to look after this vital interest.— The hesitation is to discover how much strength the can- didate can bring to “the party.” ‘The Chiua trade is equally urgent. England is on the spot with her cut-throats and robbers. They have counted and sent home the ready money that they have atolen,and are now making arrangements to monopolize the future trade, while our agent yet lingers here.

The moment the du- ties began to fall under the compromise act, the import nearly ceased, while on the other hand the exports of cotton goods rose from $70,000 in 1836, to over $600,000 in 1838. One reason for this was the necessity for sending ga0ds instead of London credits, previously furnished by the United States Bank. At this time, domestic goods, lead and raw cotton are largely shipped to China for the purchase of teas. This can now be done not only means cf remittance, but as a profitable adventure. A jndicious handling of our present relations with that government on a free trade basis—that is, low revenue duties—would be of vast importance to this country.
