The political world is at present in a state of un- usual repose. The most rabid of the party “organs” have barked themselves asleep. Even the whinings of Johu Jones of the Madisonian have died away upon the ear, aad it seemsas if all had forgotten that John Tyler was to goto his farm at the end of two years, and that another President was to be elected, andthe mouths of half a million beggarmen filled. The “Pewter Mug” has lost iis froth—“‘told Tam- many” 1s as respectably quiet as the City Hospital— such things as whig meetings on the Canal street plan are unheard of—and there is not a single oyster cellar or grog shop, from the Battery to the Bull’s Head, that has netted a dollar from a “Tyler meet- ing” for the last three months. All this is certainly alarming. What are we coming to? Is Othello’s occupation gone? Are the miserable devils who support existence by some process unknown to the rest of the world, and follow the business of Presi- dent-making, to be annihilated? We believe not; Despite of the ominous quiet which now reigns, we are of the opinion that a political campaign of ex- traordinary tumult and excitement is approaching. The present serenity of the atmosphere will turn out as deceptive, as the supernaturally calm and sultry hour preceding the earthquake which lays cities and villages in ruins. There are more candidates in the field now, than ever entered, the lists on any previous presidential campaign. Here they are— Locofuco. Whig. Abolition. Fourierite. Nondeseript. ‘Van Buren, Clay, Birney. H. Greeley. John Tyler. Cathoun, Webster, Cass, Scott. Buchanan, Dick Johnson. Whatare their respective claims and chances we may discuss hereafier. Mr. Calhoun has many strong claims on his party. He is a man of distinguished talent—of much can- dor and honesty—possesses great personal popularity --and is warmly devoted to democratic principles. Many regard him asa more “ available” candidate than Van Buren, and he is unquestionably a power- ful competitor for the great cup to be run for in the year of our Lord 1844, ‘Harry of the West” is undoutedly at present the strongest candidate of his party. There is no know- ing, however, what turn matters may take in favor of Daniel Webster, who occupies at present a very important position, the advantages of which alittle time may develope more fully The claima and chances of Tyler, Birney and Greeley, are pretty much on a par. We have no in- clination, however, at present to enter on an exami- nation of the merits, capabilities, talents, patriot: ism, good sense, aud prooable future usefulness of either member of this respectable trinity. We leave that to “* Nigger Hamilton,” the Graham-bread men, and the immortal “ forty five.” Butis there not really a rapidly growing disposition amongst the great masses of the democracy to take up some “‘vew man”—to cast overboard altogether the old party hacks and trading politicians, and to entrust the reins of goverment to some patriotic, enlightened and experienced statesman, who hag never been corrupted by servitude toa “ party 7” ‘We think there is. The people are disgusted with the old nostrums of the political quack-dectors. They aie awaking to the conviction that the interests and prosperity of the country are rather more impor- tant than the advancement of a ‘‘party” and the ge- curity of the provender of the political ioafers who hang upon its skirts. And where is the man of clean hands and undoubted patriotism, possessing the requisite talents, knowledge and experience, which would qualify him for this responsible station? Gan we find amonget us any one, worthy to be Paced beside the men of pure hearts and patriotic purpose, who laid the deep foundations of our repub- lie?’ The search for such an one has, we are assur- ed, begun. Whether he is to come from the east orthe west we know not. Let us, at all events, pray and watch for his advent. Tue Purnix Bank Triats —'This trial has occu- pied four days, with no prospect of a speedy termi- nation. On Thursday, the fourth day, the proceed- ings were opened, says the correspondent of the Boston Post, by Mr. Huntington, who putin the re- turn of the commissioners, S. P_ P. Fay, M. Parker, and Thomas Martin, in Oct 1832, that the capital stock of the bank had been duly paid in. Also,a second return, that the increased capital, authorized by law in 1836, had been paid in. All this, how- ever, had no tendency to show the mysterious fact —what has become of the three hundred and odd thousand dollars which Stanley, Reed & Co. re- ceived of Mr. Wyman? Should this fact be dis- closed to-day, I shall dispatch to you a very ‘‘spe- cial express” by a carrier pigeon, whose arrival I have no doubt will create a tremendous fluttering among the plucked pigeons, whose stock and de- posits were scattered on the wings of secret specu- lation, and their place supplied by the utterly valae- less trash found in the pigeon holesot the bank after the ‘‘ blow up,” to use the homely but expressive language of Mr. Hunnewell. The whole of the evidence given this day sup- ported the extraordinary statement made by the counsel for the prosecution in his opening. This case will be of essential service to the community, inasmuch as it will shov how iniquitously some banks are managed. Axoruer Rai, Roap Accrpest.—The train of cars which left this city yesterday morning for Cum- berland, says the Baltimore American of Friday, ran against a couple of cows which were standing on the track, The accident occurred about three miles from the city in what is known as the “Deep Cat.” The cows were not seen in consequence of a eurve in the road. The engine and tender passed over the animals, but the bageage car was thrown off and the first passenger car upset. No further in- jury was sustained than a few slight scratches to some of the passengers who were in the first car.— The train was detained about two hours. The train trom Washington was delayed yesterday morn- ing more than hour beyond its regular time in con- sequence of the injury done to a portion of the track. A Counrerreiren Arrestep.—W. C. M’Leod has been arrested at the town of Ingersoll, in Cana- da, for passing counterfeit Mexican dollars. Bail wasrefused. It is said that M’Leod is a merchant, and has been doing a flourishing business in Wood- stock. He is reputed to be worth six or seven thou- (pounds, and has long been suspected, if not actu ay been known, to have practiced similar fraude upon divers persons in his neighborhood—none of whom had the courage to expose his rascality. It ie shrewdly aspected he had a mint of bogus at Woodstock, 10 draw upon es occasion required.

The following is a copy of the warrant sent on by the Secretary of State for that purpose :-— Derantment oF State, Wesbington, 9th August, 1843, To all to whom these presents shail come- Whereas : Henry 8 Fox, Esq. the Envoy Extraordinary ond Minister Pleny tiery of her Britannic Many. hath made requisition in conformity with the provissons of the 10th article of the Treaty concluded at the 9h day of August, 1949, for the delivering upto of Christina Cochran, alias Gilmour, cherged with the crime of murder, alleged to have been committed within the jurisdiction of Great Brite \d, whereas the said Christina Cockren, alias Gilmour, beth been found in the State of New York, within the Jurisdiction of the United Stutes, and hath, by Sffidavit, and in due form of law, been brought before Sylvanus Rapalje, United Siates Commissioner for the Southern District of New Yor the said charge of murder. And, whereas the said 8} Iva. nus Rapa'je heth deemed the evidence sufficient to thorize end require her commitment, and hath according- ly committed her to the jail of New York, all which ep- pears by a certified copy of the proceedings transmitted to this Department :— Now these presents are to require the Marshal et the United Ststes, for the Gonthern District of New York, the District Attorney of the United States for the said district, and any other public otticer, having the charge or custody of said Christina Cechran,alias Gilmour, to surrender and deliver her up to George McKay, anotficer of the govern- ment of her Britannic Majesty, or any other officer of said government duly authorized by her Britannic Majesty’s said Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, to receive her into custody. Given under my band and the seal of the office of the Secretary of the United States, on theday amd year here- in aforesaid. A. P. UPSHUR. The Counsel of Christina Gilmour has made ano- ther ineffectual attempt to save her, by an applica- tion to Judge Betts, of the U. 8. Circuit Court fora writ of habeas corpus. Judge Betts gave the fol- lowing opinion thereon :— In the matter of Christina Cochrane, otherwise Gil- mowr, on application for the allowance of a writ of ha- beas corpus :— 1 am of opinion that the 10th article of the Treaty of Washington, concluded Aug. 9th, 1842, is, under the 2d sub-division of the 6th article of the Constitution of the United States, in force as a subsisting law of the land, and is accordingly to be observed and executed by the judi- cial authorities of the country. Tam of opinion that a Commissioner appointed by a Circuit Court of the United States, pursuant to the actsof Congress in that behalf, is, by force of the Act of Con- gress of August 23, 1842, empowered to perform the eee, ited out by the tenth article of the said reaty. Tam of opinion that itis not competent for a Judge of the United States, in vacation, to revise, on habeas cor- pus, the adjudication of such Commissioner as to the effi ciency of the proef of criminality of a party charged before him. 1am of opinion that a writ of habeas corpus cannot be rightfully allowed for the purpose of enqu ring into tI legality of a warrant emanating from the Executive Branchof the Government, intended to surrender a per- son duly committed to a Marshal of the United States, to the authorities of Great tain, under the provisions of Je of the said treaty, before the party shall ‘tually transferred to and detained in such itish custody within the United States. I accordingly refuse to allow the habeas corpus prayed for in this cas SAMUEL R. BETTS, United States Judge, kc. New York, Aug. 12,1843. This case being now disposed of,we will limit our observatione to the mention cf a singular coinci- dence in connection therewith. It is this. The treaty of Washiagton under which this surrender is made, bears date the 9th day of August, 1842, and he warrant authorizing the first surrender under the Teaty bears date the 9h day of Auguat, 1813. We give this for as much as it is worth. American Contaipution To THE Repeat. Movs. MENT.—At a meeting of the Loyal National Repeal Association, held at the Corn Exchange, Dublin, on the 4th of July, a report was read, from which we learn that the followiag sums were acknowledged to have been received from America:—From{Bran- dywine £7; Wilmington, Delaware £23; —— £30; City of Breoklyn £49 88. 5d.; Boston £100; Pnila- delphia ; New York £500. Total, £1079 33. 5d. Halifax £29. Qcg-Amongst the arrivals at Howard’s Hotel, we find the name of the Adjutant General of this State, Mr. Neven, of Albany. Likewise Captain A. Ry- rie, ot the steam ship Acadia, a gentleman of po- lished manners, yet of that generous nature which isthe characteristic of his profession. We hope goon to have the steam ships, which he and some other noble fellows command, sailing to and from the port of New York, which presents many advan- tages and facilities not found in Boston. ARRAGANSETTS.—There is to be a meeting of this tribe at their meeting house in Charlestown, R.1., to-day (Sunday.) It is expected to be a larger meeting tham any that will ever take place hereafter, as eeveral very active members of the tribe contemplate removing to join their brethren at Green Bay, in Wisconsin Territory, where a great many of them are already settled, and one of them, Thomas Commock, is postmaster. Bewinp Tur Times.—The Northampton people must be behind the times, if we may judge by the following notice, which has just appeared in some of their papers :— Pustic Noricr.—in pursuance ef ‘instructions from the Post Office Department at Washington, the undersigaed hereby gives public notice to the citizens of Northampton, that there now exists a vacancy in the Post Office ; and “that they may have a voice in recommending a person for ap- pointment.” A. W. Tuayer, Acting P. M. Post Office, Northampton, Aug. 8, 1843. Great News rrom Fionipa.—Tue Fiona War Enpen.—The St. Augustine News of the 29th ult. says, that Gen. Worth has just paid a visit to the Tampa Bay Indians, who are at present all quiet. The News adds :— f We hesitate not to say, that “the Florida war” is not onlv ended, but that it will “stay ended.” Emi- grants may now seek a residence here with as much safety as in any part of the country. Concerts.—The British and American Musical Society was under the necessity of postponing its last Concert in consequence of the perfect deluge which the heavens poured down on that occasion. We find, however, from an advertisement in another column, that it will positively be given on Monday next, when the tickets issued for Thursday last will be admissable. Qg-Another demand under the treaty of Washing- ton has been made for a man accused of some theft in Canada, but Mr. Commissioner Rapeljea did not consider the case as one included in the catalogue of offences enumerated in the treaty, and therefore he did not conceive he had any jurisdiction in the matter. Matice on CriminaL Cangcessness.—Some un- known person fired a ball through the eastern cars, as they were y;assing through Andover a few eve- nings since, and very narrowly missed some persons within. Cuatuam Turatre.—The Eilsler Brothers are to have a benefit to-morrow evening. Their perform- ances are of a peculiar character, and have elicited much applause, and given great setisfaction during their short enwagement. They deserve, what as they will po doubt have, a crowded houee. On Tuesday evening we understand Mr. Lennox, the Stage Manager, will take a benefit. Tue Weitanpo CanaL.—This work 1 progres sing—labor 8s. 9d. per day. Another strike for 44 41. per day is expected. The contracts for letting are signed with great difficulty oa account of the wages dernanded by the workmen. Artack on Mr. Comeay, Career oF Porive.-A ferocious attempt was made last Sunday to aseusei- nate this officer in Montreal, by revere] ruffians. He wes newly killed inthe unequal conflict, but sé expected to recover. Foun Montus ix Apvanct.—The Governor of New Hampshire has appointed November Suth, oe adey of Thankegiving. Time enough yet to plant seed for pumpkin pies {or the occasion. Froop in Rateiau, N. C.—The accounts state that ne such flood was ever kaown in that region as took place on Thursday and Friday week. Great damage was done. Fayette Srawas.—Nearly 200 visiters are’ there. Norra Caroiina Exxction.—By late returns from North Carolina, we think we are auth to say that four Democrats and four Whigs have been elected. From the third district no returns have been received. It is considered a democratic dis- triet ; but the rain may have kept the people from the polls, as it did in every other district ia the State—as appears by the returns—except the “‘gal- lant” Stanly’a. The Whig papers attribute his de- teat to the rain, when the poll-books show the lar- gest vote ever polled in tae district. It rained there the greater part of the day; but the democrats, it appears, preferred getting wet to suffering Stanly to reign over them two years more, statecharts ee Raleigh Register, (Whig?)

Arrington are the tes—we have flying reports; but they are indefinite and vague. If te be on, they render it probable that this firm {riend of the people's rights has been sacrificed for his unflinching devotion to their dearest interests; and by such eftorts, too, as were never made to defeat any candidate. But it is neither certain these rumors are true ; nor, iftrue, that Stanly is defeated. Iftheday hal been propitious, weshould have no fear of overcoming even the hesvy reported majorities of Edgecombe and Nash, which are said to have cast two thousand mejority against Stanly. Our fear new is, that, owing to the tre! lous rains, the voters of the low counties—which are greatly intersected by water courses—were prevented trom getting to the polls.

The Demo>rats have made a noble fight, contending heroically against worse than the humbuggery of 1840. The coons, balls, cider. ke. of that campaign were harmless in comparison with the gross misrepresentations of democratic measures and men in the canvass just clored. Gov. Polk has battled against every oppoaition with an industry and energy that no mortal man could surpass. The thanks of the democracy of the whole Union are due to him for his untiring efforte in the great cause of equal rights and the principles of the republican fathers.

On this subject we find the following examination of James E. Harvey, clerk in the Treasury Department, who was a witness on this trial for the pro- seoution:— Mr. Brent crosr-examined the witness. Was there not, before Mr. Dowden’s arrest—some time before—an error discovered in your room of an over-issue of treasury notes or stock? and state whether Secretary Spencer did lative to that transaction? not have Dowden before him — ‘ we eee for that purpose. Fendail: Were you then with him? with him. the witness) Was Aigeadd of 4 to,or supposed to amount thousand ‘dellars mare than the law an over to, several hundred autnorized ; which error was supposed to Le detected or some person in connection with that business ; and was not Secretary 3pencer displeased? Did he not have Dowden up before him respecting an arti- cle which appeared in a paper in thejNorth, anneuncing the discovery of this error 7 ether by Mr. Dowden, ‘A—I know of that but from hearsay; partly from Mr™ Dowden, and the Secretary partly. Mr. Baswr—That is evidence. t it was not. Mr. the counsel for the accused nT remarked wanted to account for the object of the conspiracy against their client; and wished to show that there was un- friendly feeling excited egainst him, through this trans- action, asa motive for suc! conspiracy. Mr. Thomas L, Smith, Register of the Treasury, was recalled, and thus examined in relation to that matter :— Mr Fenvatt—Mr§Smith, you have heard of the case in relation to which Mr Harvey was just called upon to testi- fy. Do you know of the circumstances of that affair, sir? ‘A—So far as Mr. Dowden is affected by the question, 1 can say, that I wasin the Secretary’s room when he sent for Mr. Dowden to coine there in relotion to some com: munication made by a writer in a in the North, in reference to this over issue of stock Joan. Mr. Dowden came and the: Spcrotary interrogsted him as to whether he was the auther. He disclaimed all knowledge of the authorship ; and, a'ter questioning him in various forms immediatelyto this particular object,(Mr.D.disclaiming all knowledge,) the Leavpaig 9 expressed his entire satisfac- tion of his explanation. Mr. Dowden left the room, and then the Secretary and myself had a conversation, in which we both agreed that he had exculpated himeell as to the publicajion. Mr. Barnt cross-examined the witness—You do say, sir, Oey Mr. Dowden denied that there was an over- issue A—No, sir ; and,as to the errror part of the question, I would say that, so far as that was concerned, there was nothing apparent in the manner or conversation of theSec. retary that indicated an unfavorable impression in relation to Mr. Dowden in that matt well as I recollect. Mr. Baznt—You say, sir, the Secretary expressed no dissatisfaction with Mr. Dowden, as connected with the discovery of thisover issue. Washe dis atisied with the fact of over issue having been published? A—That he can best answer himself. Q-—Did the Secretary ask him if he was the author of the communication? asked him whether he communicated the in- formation. Q—Then what the Secretary was dissatisfied with, was the communication of the information? A—Nor do | know that, sir. Mr. Baert—That we can take os an Inference. Q—Well, sir, in asking Mr. Dowden the question, did heask him the question os if he didit to ascertain from what source the information came? or did he ask him in Or te as if he disapproved the fact being commu nicate: Pa’ asked himas if he wanted information on the sul Q—vid he show a dissatisfaction as to the manner if which it was eommunicated? A—The object of his inquiry was whether an officer of the Government had communicated this fact. Q-—I ask you whether Secretary Spencer did not say to you, or te Some other person in Aa presence, that the fact of an over issue should be kept secret, and not di- vulged? A-No, sir. Q—Was there not an over issue; and if so, what amount? A—Yes; I do not know what amount, but the sum was upwards of $200,000, 1 believe. Q—I understand you to say, then, that the iidipet Department issued upwards cf $200,000 more stock corti- ficates thaa the law allowed? A—Yes, sir, Q—If Mr. Dowden hai continued to issue as ordered, would not the issue have amounted to upwards of $500,- 000 more than the law authorized? A—I donot know. I did not know that he stopped is- suing. Q—Were you not told 80’ A—No, sir; the first information I had was by a commu- nication made to me by Mr. Nourse, the chief clerk. He came to me one morning, soon after my entry from break- fast, and stated tome that anover issue hed taken place, in consequence ef an error of his. He said tome, “It distreasee me more than any act of my official life. It was in conseqnence of an error of minein takinga copy of a comparative statement made by aclerk in the Secretary’s office, upon which the certificates of deposits are made, and in casting up the amount of deposits on which the certificates are issued, 1 mistook a figure, which caused the error.” (Mr. Smith here explained the mode in which the ac- counts are kegt concerning the issue of stock, the mode of ascertaining the quantity issued, and of detecting er- rors in the issue.) Q—How much was it ascertained was the over-issue? A—I do not recollect what wastheamount. That was the explanation, however, he gave to me in relation te that matter. Immediately upon bis communicating the fact, t went tothe Secretary, named the fact to him, and related all the particulars. Q—The fact was an over-issue of upwards of $200,000 of stock cet tes? A—Yes, sir. Q—The fact was published ina letter from some cor- respondent of a paper, and Secretary Spencer sent for Mr. Dowden to ascertain whether he ew how the writer got the information? A—It was notithe fact in relction to the over-issue. The letter purported to ssy that there had beem an overissue of Treasury notes. The error of the letter was, in pert, theffect of stating that the over-issue was of Treasury notes, instead of stock. Mr Barnt—So far as that goes, it amounts to the same aes whether it was an overissue in one case or the other. Mr. Frnpatu here raised a question as to the propriety of proceeding upon a paper Yhich was not tetore the court. Hedid not know whether in the publication Mr. Dowden’s nawe was mentioned.

Mr. Fervatt—The gentlemen wish to show reason yi? the Seeretary sent for Mr. Dowden. T, Homan—That is the evidence on the other side. We have nothing to do with it. Mr. Smrru remarked that he saw the letter as one of the eirculeting pepers. : Mr. Fenpaut—I must try and get it, and show the rea- son why the Secretary sent for Mr. Dowden. Messrs. Mowan and Brent saw no propriety in having it, as it could only be of collateral use. Mr. Verbahioth was directly pertinent to the question As entleman had interred a motive for the Secretary in sending for Mr. Dowden, I want to show the reason. Much other testimony was given, and from last accounts we understand the prosecution had closed its case. From Yucatan.—There were two arrivals from ‘tan yesterday—the schooners Denm id, the latter in seven days from Sisal. news is of some interest. Two English officers, the first lieutenant and surgeon of the Mexican steamer Montezuma, who were taken prisoners at Telchac and confined at Merida, have been libe- rated. They arrived at Sisal on their way to Mexico. One of the Yucatan gun borts captured an English brig from Balize Honduras, engaged in smuggling, 10 the windward of Sisal, and carried into Sisal. The fever had disappeared from Merida, and the country was tranquil. News of the out- break at Tobasco had been received, but it created nosensation. The schooner Freeland reports that news was received at Campeachy on the 19h, that the Mexican steamer Guadaloupe ‘had been da- | maged at Scovia by the batteries of Santamant.

Grand Larceny.—James Dunn, impleaded with Wil- liam Green, placed on his trial for robbing Peter Malloy, adischarged soldier of the United States service, of $99 and upwaros, in bank bills, on the 19th July. Dunn, on his examination, stated that he went into the cellar of a Mr. Donoughoe, No. 97 Cress street, and there met the prisoner and his co-prisoner, and had some liquor together, when Green endeavoured to thrust his hand in- to tue complainant’s pocket, but was prevented by Do- noughoe, and a man named Burns, who was in company with hua, Dunn, not — the conduct of Green, left the house, and was followed by the prisoners, who robbed him in the neighbourhood of Mulberry street. Dunn was somewhat in liquor. This story was corroborated by Donoughoe and Burns. Donoughoe, on his examination, stated that after the lapse of two hours, the p rs re- turned to his place, dressed in a bran new suit each, when eatery Sori they had secured the money, offered Donoughoe three dollars to keep silent, but he re- (used. They subsequently offered him six dollars, but this was aler refused. For the defence —A girl named Ellen Collins, of noto rious character, who was living with Green in a state of prostitution at the time, swore that she saw the wit- ness Burns put his hend into the pocket of Malloy, on the corner of Orange and Cross street, and take from it the wallet containing the money! This was the only evi- dence adduced. The Jury, without leaving their seats, found the prisoner guilty. Same ci .—W liam Green was next placed on his trial for me offence. The evidence wes the same for the prosecution as that given on Dunn’strial. The Jury, unbesitatingly found him guilty also. The Court sentenced the prisoners severally to be con- fined for the full term allowed by law. which is five years in the State prison. The conduct of the prisoner Dunn, whe is a most villain-looking scoundrel, after sentence, wes most disgraceful. He deserved an additional five years. Burglary in the Second Degree—Jobn Langhan, an un- fortunate cripple, whose right leg had been amputated close tothe body, was placed at the bar, charged with burglariously entering the room of Mrs, Ellen Elliott, in ahouse No.8 Avenue B,, and stealing wearing apparel of the value of $: .

At the new board, there were sales of government loan at 114 cash. Tae prospect of a deficit harvest in England will this year hi very different influence upon American in- terest from what it has hitherto exercised in former years. Almost all the commercial connexions between the twe countries were hase upon paper eredits, and a short har vest, causing adverse exchanges, sapped the whole foun dation, and cut off the American resources. Thisis now notthe case. The lato reduction ofthe English tari opened the door to those articles which will be improved in demand and prices by a deficit hervest, and the United States will bethe point 'o which the specie will flow in} stead of the North of Europe. American interes's, stead of being carried down by a collapse of the English paper system, will be strengthened by that event. Alste English publication contains the following in relstion to the influ of the present prospect Of the harvest upon money eftaire :— Liverpoo] now contains a larger weight of cotton than was ever before warehoused in that port, and we believe we are safe in stoting that this day, Friday, the 7th of Ju- Iy, the quantity is, within @ very few, one million bags. ‘hese, at about £5 15 the bag on the average, are worth above five millions and halt pounds sterling. Atthis point it would be desirable to ascertain as near - y as reece the increased consumption of cotton in reat Britain; various circumstances render this more difficult then informer years. The admirable precision id ed brokers usually calculate the ee is now, temporarily and in small t, use some ef the cotton purchased ia ‘itish manufacturers has been carted direct to the canal or railt Halifax, and their populous vicinities. W. yh greater thanthe men ef Liverpool have (until a atleast) imagined. We lave been promised more precise information on this subject, and in the mean time we must content ourselves with stating the general fact ofa largeincrease. Formerly the warps of such fe- brics were made from hog-wool, or long stapled wool of the afirst shearing; and in consequence, that particular Vind of wool generally commanded price from five to m per cent highcr than wool from the same sheep of the second or third sheering would obtain. Now, from the substitution of cotton thread for warps, hog-wool is lower in price than that last described. It can be no trifling weight of cotton that can have wrought su remarke- ble change as this in an extensive trade. from the best intormation we can obtain, we are ofopinien thatthe increased weekly consu:nption of cotton is above twenty per cent higher than it was a yearago, or a quantity equal to considerably abeve 200,000 bales jin the year.— ‘eare also of opinion that the opening of the China trade, and the snore favorable commercial intelligenee Just received from that quarter, will further stimulate trede, and cause an additional increase in the consump: tion ofthe raw material. {it in stated that very little more cotton of last year’s growth ean arrive from the United States—not more than seven or eight per cent of our an- nual consumption; and that the imports from India wil be less end less. If this view of the snbjoct be correct, we should not bo vstonished to fiud the stock: of cotton on the Ist of January 1844, reduced preity nearly to the it of stook he'd at thesame dute o! ..¥ he Dade: . a! rap cba safer investment for money than cuiton Muar We know how ditficult it wil e hieber price: t nel fair demund for their con's continues, willbave any apprehension in holding stock w about the present low pri Phe Directors of the Busk of Pnaland had certainly begun to feel sumewhet tensy about the effects of the harvest, whilstthe weather continued so unpromising; proof of this came tous from various and difiereat quar- Wedove know thet it wos thiv can which in. anager of (ae Birmingham auoh to limit the discounts to iron-mesters to one-Lalt the sam previously greed on, but this instrnetion was venjhod a6 We Kuow it was acted on inoue care, We ac lude its operation wes made general in the district. — Happily this cause of additional trouble has heen in great measure removed by the favoring weather, Wheat ndvancotin price at Mork-Lane ou Monday from Isto 26 the qr ithas done et Hull and ous other ploces daring the week.
