LS We ae ES _———— NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Saturday, August 19,1843. ~ The Ward Electtons—Successes of the Van Burenites. We yesterday gave a report of (he Ward Elections of Delegates to the Tammany Hall Convention, which showed clearly that Mr. Van Burn has gain- eda majority, which will secure a Van Buren City Delegatioa to the Convention at Syracuse. The working of the same machinery will also give him the State, tor he has the wire-workers, and the ex- perienced in the arts by which elections are man- aged devotedly attached to him. That there were tymptoms of a formidable opposition is true ; but such symptoms are a part of the machinery by which the business is managed. In the First Ward twe Van Buren tickets were run. In the Second Ward the Calhoun ticket was made up of Van Buren men, and the same course was adepted elsewhere. In some cases large deputations from the Custom House were observed to be running what were styled Van Buren and single district tickets, but the bare men- tion of these facts will be their owa commentary. The name of Tyler was not once heard; but Cass and Calhoun had many friends and are evidently rising in popular favor. We repeat, however, that the management of these elections will give Mr. Van Buren the Sate nomivation, bu it should not be concealed that there ure serious de- fections from his party. Ivisseen in New York—ii has also been exhibited in Albany, his head quare ters—in short, threvghout the State there are many who desire a new man, and yetio what a position do they fiad themselves? By the machinery of a portion of the party, Vaa Buren delegates are chosen, aad Van Buren being nominated, must be supported, or the party 1s defeated. Moral influence the Ward elections have not—on the contrary, they bring our institutions into such contempt as will ere long lead to some radical change or universal corruption— but, nevertheless, they make the party nominations. Tne Ward elections of delegates are usually at- tended only by a few,whose qualifications for the du- ties which there devolve on them are mainly physi- cal. How frequent is the spectacle of men laying claim to reepectability—it they go at all to such as- semblages—going in fighting trim. Even the great, the disunguished and leading democrat, Ex-Assist- ant Alderman Shaler, of the Sixth Ward, has been it such meetings, in pantaloons, shirt and suspend- rsalone. The feeble, the peaceably disposed, the lovers of order, they who wish the intellect to have a greater influence in our system of government than brute force, go not at ull—and hence the nomi- nation of our prominent government officers is aban- doned to the corrupt and the physical force men. But with or without moral influence, Mr. Van Buren has carried the city, and the only alternative olf the members of the party will be to give him their support, or to throw the weight of their influ- ence, or even of their defection, into the scale of the great opponent of theirparty. At present we hazard no speculation of the probable result in the National Convention. Brutal Outrage. f Another of those disgraceful outrages which show how little the laws, as at present administered in this city, are to be depended on by peaceable citizens for the protection of their lives, took place at the close of the election in the Ninth Ward, on Thursday evening last. Dr. Houston went to Jefferson Hotel in order to obtain the results of the election, for publication inthe Herald. On reaching that place he found that the ballot boxes had been carried away, by the triends of Van Buren, and thata meeting of other voters was about to be organized. Immediately on entering the place of meeting, which was filled by a tumultuous mob, he was pointed out amid a torrent of blasphemy, by a drunken vagabond named ‘Walsh, who called on some dozen or so of his rag- ged associates to expel Dr. H. trom the room. This was instantly ‘done with great violence, no effort being made to save Dr. H. from the mob, by the chairman, Mr. Suydam. Dr. Houston, on reaching the street, ran a_ considerable distance, unable to find a single watchman. He then relaxed his pace, hoping to get into an omnibus and eseape unobserved. He was disappointed, how- ever, for a dozen or more of his brutal assailants came running up, and simultaneously assailed him. He struggled against them for a few moments, and warded off their blows with his cane, but was soon overpowered, dragged to the middle of the street, nearly opposite St. Luke’s Church, and there beaten most savagely. His calls fur aid brought two re- spectable citizens tothe spot, and to their timely assistance, Dr. Houston ascribes under Providence, the preservation of his life. As it is, he has been very seriously injured. The only known cause for this brutal attack, was Dr. Houston’s refusal some time since to de- erade himself by reporting the ribaldry and blas- phemy uttered by this fellow Walsh at some mob meeting. The ringleaders being known, an effort will be made to brivg them to punishment. Sich respecta- ble persons as who witnes-ed the attack, are re quested to contribute their aid by leaving their names at this office. The object of this murderous assault, however, will for the future rely more tor the protec ion of his person, on the means of defence which appro | priate weapons prorde, than on the means affurded | by the authorities. If respectcble citigens can be beaten within an inch of their Lives at any hour in our most public thoroughfares, without the slizhtest hope of assistance from means provided by law, it is certainly nothing less than suicidal folly which prevents them from constantly carrying on their persons the means of their detence. Our Navy—Secretary Hensuaw—Tue Term or Service—A Porutar Rerorm.—The new Sec- Tournaments—The White Sul- phur Springs. i We lately announced that extensive preparations were being made by the visitors at the Farquier White Sulphur Springs, Virginia, for a Tournament which should equal those co admirably described in ancient story of the days of chivalry, and now we | are enabled to supply a description of the momen- tous event,Jwhich/is scareely equalled by Sir Wal- ter Scott’s vivid picture of such ascene in his Ivan- hoe. In a beautiful valley, bounded by the Rappahan- nock river, and shaded by the primeval oaks under which in by-gone days the Indian lover wooed his forest maid, and he of the lion-heart and eagle eye reposed innative freedom by his counsel fires—in this valley, thus situated, the lists were opened, and at the sound of a bugle eight knights,fully caparison- ed and mounted on mettled steeds, with lances in rest and vizors down, appeared to contend for the prize, and emulate those days of chivalry in which “ Knighthood’s dauntless deed And beauty’s matchless eye,” were honored by the brave, and rewarded by the great. A ring was suspended froma cord, extended across the ground in circumference as large as a lady’s bracelet, to carry which on the point of the lance, with horse at (ull speed, was the object of rivalry — Among the combatants, Mr K. of an adjoining coun- ty, repre-ented the tall and grace(ul Knight ot “‘Chip- pews.” Filled with martial spirit, he came to con- quer—his_diess was rich, and his steed of noble blood Then tellowed Mr. C. the dark eyed and enilant knight of * Rappahannock;” a bright falchiou at his side, and his lance well balanced. Following him, on a blooded charger, rode Mr. B., of Fierida ; the brave and warm hearted knight of the * Ever- glades”—gracefal as his steed, and bright io his ap- varel and gaze as the tropic clime that claymed him. Chen entered the lists Mr. GC. of Exscern Virginia, the proud and thougbtfu: ka:ght ot the “Lowlands.” “ For valor ne, and contemplation made.” But who is he that now advances—his chestout steed champing the impotent bit, and pawing the earth, while bright eyes greet bis approach? It is Mr. C, ot St. Louis, the generous knight of the “Prairies;” trom the far West he comes, and sits like an Iudian warrior in his saddie Now, follow- ing him, appears Mr P. of Baltimore, the good knight of the *‘North”—he looked defiance, and victory seemed to have already welcomed him to the lists. Again, all eyes are turned, and lo ! in ra- ven dréss with a black plume in his hat, advanced Mr. H. of Philadelphia, the koight ot the ‘Lone Heart,” and most gracetully bowed to the ladies. Last came Mr. L. ot Maryland, our herald, mount- ed on his grey steed, an eagle’s feather waving from his cap, and a Tartan belt flowing at his side. —He played his part most admirably, and as if he felt the love of chivalry, and tried to herald well such gallant knights, betore such “fair ladies.” All things being ready the knights, in the order named, at the sound of the bugle, started for the prize. Terrific was the speed with which they rush- ed towards the rlag, with well aimed lance. Upon the first trial, the knight of Rappahannock bore it off in triumph, and was hailed by the waving of handkerchiefs and martial music, as the herald led him past the judges and ladies. The spirited knights ot the Evergiades and the Prairies, and he of the “Lone heart” and Chippewa, bore off also the ring After breathing their chargers and adjusting their vizurs, they are again in readiness, and again the bugle sounded, The dark-eyed knight ot Rappa- haanock fixed his eye on the prize of contention, his steed once more dashed wildly on, and he is again victorions. Among his rivals, however, the bold knight of the “‘ Everglades” now made an ef- fort, and with triumph was he crowned, having, equalled his rival in carrying the ring off t wice.— Following him, the others essayed to win, but in vain—they were applauded, notwithstanding, for their graceful bearing and fine horsemanship. The tral for victory, and the crown of laurel (which hung suspended in view, and which bvaut had weaved for valor,) was now to be deerninede All was breathless anxiety and suspense among the fair; heart beatto heart; and eyes looked brighter than ever, for the victor Knight would be soon call- ed to select from among them the Queen of Beauty and Love. For the last time the bugle sounds—the Knights have run their course, and the Knight of Rappahan- nock bears off with grace the ring, and is declared the conqueror. 4 With modest brow he is lead up by the herald, who applauds him in knightly and touching lan- guage, and presents him to the Judges and the fair, as the “bravest of the brave.” Warmly ishe greet- ed amid the bursts of muyic and enthusiasm—and foramoment it seemed as if the days of chivalry had returned. Receiving the crowntrom the Judges the herald placed it on his brow; but the moment of thrilling interest had arrived. His crown must be shared, and who will he select as the Queen? was the half-uttered question of the fair. The victor iscalled onto decide and choose some flower from the bright bouquet ot lovely women be- fore him. He paused but tor a moment, and then modestly selected Miss J. G , of St. Louis. Timid as a frightened fawn, and gentle as one of Diana’s doves, she is led forth with roses on her cheeks,and a beating heart—the music soundsand the valley rings with acclamations of pleasure—the Queen is crowned and the Tournament ended! At night a Ball followed, in which the Queen and Victor led the dance, and the merry hours gaily passed till midnight. : . On the 24th inst. there will be another Tourna- ment on a more enlarged scale. Some twenty Knights are expected to ride, and eflorts will be made to assimilate it closely in dresses and arrange- ments to those tournays that Ivanhoe witnessed and Sir Walter Scott has celebrated. We may here take occasion to add, that there are at present about two hundred visitors at the Fau- quier White Sulphur Springs, who are in search of health and pleasure, and add to the lite of this de- lightful retreat. The grounds are tastefully laid off upon a lawn of gentle declivity, with picturesque walks, fountains and harbors interspersed. At the summit of the lawn stands the large brick building and ifs wings, with an extensive portico running its whole length, supported by 12 doric pillars. Around the lawn, and terming an ublong spheroid, you be- hold fthe neat white cabins, pressing throagh the green trees, like good ac ions in a bad world, and presenting altogether a tout ensemble of much inte- rest and beauty The establishment is now under the superintend- ence ot Mr. Ward, a polite aud kind-heaned gen- t+m-n, aided by Mr. McNish—who leave nothing vadone to please the visiters. Besides whom, Jones Green, Exq , one of the proprietors, whose estate is near by, gives his personal supervision to the estab- lishmeut: a genteman whose fine manners and Revival of eo POSTSCRIPT. FIVE O'CLOCK A. M. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER HIBERNIA SIXTEEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. We are in receipt of news by ths Hibernia at Boston, of which we supply the following summa- ry. The Weekly Herald, to be published this mor- ning, will contain iurther details :— Trade continues in the same quiescent staje which has marked it for some time past. As com- pared with the feeling whiah existed twelve months ago, there is a decided improvement, byt the im- petus with which the year opened, produced by the cessation of hostilities in China an the East Indses, has not been maintained. The stock of cotton on hand is enormous, and exceeds by upwards of 300,- 000 bales the quentity which was held last year. The present stock is little, if any, short of a million of bales!—nearly a year’s consumption. The Li verpool merchants, in this state of things, are im- pressing upon Government the necessity of having a drawback of the duty paid upon imported cotton, accompanied by a more liberal and comprehensive system for facilitating export orders, with every prospect of success. The weather during the last fortnight has net been very propitious tor the crops—frequent rain, a low temperature, and the absence, except occasion- ally, of warmth and sunshine. During the last three days, the rains have been heavy and frequent. All this has the effect of retarding the ripening and fill- ing of the grain. The potato and turnip crops will be more than they have been for years: When the last steamer sailed, a kind of panic prevailed in the corn market ; prices were rising. speculators were busy, and great fears existed that the stock on hand would not last until the new crop was got in. At this season—always a critical one for the crops—speculation is rife, but in the present instance, it subsided sooner than might have been anticipated. The ill-timed and heavy rains of the last day or two will, in all probability, influence the London and Wakefie'd, as they have already done the Liverpool market. Wales has been giving additional uneasiness to the powers that be. Two or three weeks back, it was believed thatthe emeutes, of which the south- ern counties of the Principality had been thescene were exhausted, or at least subiued fora time.— Recent events have proved otherwise. The Welsh breakers of gates and midnight prawlers have shown a degree of tact and daring in their illegal peram- bulations which proves, not only that they are thoroughly banded together tor a common object, but that they have perfect reliance on each other’s fidelity. The disclosures of a drunken partizan led, it will be seen, tosome apprehensions, which were not made without desperate exertions and no lit- le danger. The parties have been committed. Treland, is still ina vortex of agitation. The rent flows in without any apparent diminution,the priests are as active, O'Connell as energettc as ever. He keeps the ball moving amazingly. With a volatile people like the Irish, the sameness of the subject, the monotony of the speeches, and the drain upon the pocket, eeem calculated to tire. But they do not. The agitation was never rifer,the organization never more perfect, the funds never so plethoric as at pre- sent. Government looks passively on,prepared for no ‘hing but to extinguish the flame when it breaks out. In this respect no change has taken place since the sailing of the last packet. O’Connell has pub- lished a statement of his finances, which, unlike liberal views go f*r to win and attach to him all who know hii; while his lady and tamily, by theirkind- ness and agreeable demeanor, give you, indeed, a | Virginia welcome, and make you feel at once at home. The visiters,we hear, sometimes get up the.‘ Tubleux Vivant,” in which the company take parts, representing to the eye scenes of alternate retary of the Navy has taken hold of the right side of the rope, and his first act shows a strong | lisposition to do away with the most important | abuse of his Department. The term of service | { our naval officers has, for along time past, ven three years, which has been a subject of great compl int, on many accounts. In the first place the time, three years, has not enabled many of our officers to see the necessary term of service to entitle them to promotion, in consequence of the few ships in commission. The complaint has been, that while the officers afloat were com pelled to be so, three years, the proportion ashore was too large for a fair prospect of promotion. & cretary Henshaw, on coming into office, saw the in- Justice a portion of the officers labored under, de- vised the plan of substituting two years for three, which bas become public, although from no official source. As a precedent, and to establish the intention of the Secretary, Captain Mc!ntosh of the sloop of war Falmouth, applied for leave of absence on the fact of having been nearly two years afloat; the result was his being detached from the Falmouth, and Captain Sands, now in command of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, ordered to the command of this beautiful ship. We have taken great in- terest in the Falmouth, and are pleased to see that she has fallen into the hands of a noble fellow We state this for the information of all officers, whose time, under the new arrangement has nearly expired, that they may be assured that our new Secretary has taken the true interests of the navy, andthe gallant officers favoring it at heart, and will not rest until every abuse is remedied Picxvockets —A gentleman had his pocket book, containing one hundred and fifty dollars, taken yes terday afternoon, on board the steamboat Worces- ter, just after he had walked upto the Captain’s of fice to settle hie passage. He missed it immedi- ately after the lose, but not a Police officer was to be found, to aid in its recovery. An officer should always attend to the departure of every steamboat, | as the rogues are always on board to take adyan- | tage of the bustle and confusion to practice their mirth or sorrow irom history or romance. Tue Yacut Emma.—This beautiful craft, under the command of Captain Robinson, of Newburgh, arrived last evening from a cruise ; on a trial of her sailing qualities, she proved herself to be the fastest sailing yacht that ever floated in our waters. On her Jate cruise she spoke off Fire Island, the packet ships Rhone, for Havre, and Liverpool, for Liver- pool, from New York. The Emma sails to-day for Newport, to take part in a great sailing match between several yachts that have congregated there for tnat purpose. As the Emma was going into port, she passed J. C. Steven’s new yacht, going out. The usual civilities passed between them. We shall give a full account of the approach- ing race. A Dovsie Ovrrace. —On the Ist inst. at Colum- bia, Penn., a black man, on a canal boat, attempt- ed a diabolieal outrage upon a white female passen ger. He was frustrated by the persons near, who, hearing her cries, rescued the girl, and had the fellow committed to prison. But, in the afternoon, the people assembled, broke open the jail, took the cul- prit down to the shores of the Su-quehanna, tied him to a tree, stripped him of his clothing, gave him thirty-seven severe lashes on the bare back, tarred and feathered kim, gave him thirty-nine lashes more, replaced the feathers removed by the lashing, and then left him tied to the door of a noted aboli tionist of Columbia, with his arms pinioned ! Brovewt to Justice.—-William Rushworth, charged with being an accessory to the robbery of the Porter of the Long Island Bank, the particulars of which were given exclusively in the Herald of last week, was brought to this city yesterday from Philadelphia, by officers Relyea and Kellinger, on a requititionfrom the Governor of the State, and afely lodged in the City Prison. Respent Puystctay.—Iin alluding yesterday to Dr. Vache’s taking hisseat as Resident Physician, we should have said that it wasin place of Profes. sor Francis, whose term had expired, and that Dr. Vache was appointed by the Governor and Senate profession of this State at the winter teasion. those of the national Exchequer, shows a great sur- plus over expenditure. And he talks of further movements, having for their object the superseding of legitimate authority, which will put the quies- cent policy of Sir Robert Peel to a still greater test. the want of adequate employment, the heavy tolls on the roadg, the high rents, the low price of pro- duce, and the poverty of the people—these, and other irritating causes which fit men’s minds for “‘treasons, stratagems and spoils,” are still force, and likely to remain. Thnt the higherto quiet and religiously inclined Welsh can only be kept in subordination by the presence of military constantly scouriug their country, while it shows a deep-seated social disease, is more easily tobe lamented than remedied. The news by the Overland Mail possesses no striking feature. In Scinde matters are approach- ing a pacific settlement, and Sir Charles Napier has shown that his talent asa general is only excelled by his tact as anegotiator. With the chiefs he is said to have made terms, which will supersede the necessity of further fighting—so that the speedy set- tlement of the country may be looked for. Death had ewept away some of the British officers by sever, and Sir Charles himself had experienced an attack, from which, however, he speedily recover- ed. From other parts of ladia, as will be seen, there is nothing of interest to communicate. The news fromChina is more than usually mea- gre. Noadvance appears to have been made with the commercial treaty Sir Henry Pottinger, ac- cording to some of the accounts, had left for the north, in order to press it on the Chinese authorities. The smuggling of opium, on a large scale, by Ame- ricans, is mentioned, to which the Biitish Plenipo- tentinry had endeavored, unsuccessfully, to put a stop. It is added that British goods are scarce in China, This announcement will give an impetus to the markets, and a considerable export trade to that part of the world will, in all probability, be the reeult. The British merchants have acted with very commendable caution, as regards the trans- mission of merchandise to China. They were anx- ious to test the success of speculation, on a small scale, before they embarked deeply, or glutted the market. Indeed, the business accounts from China may be said to be very favorable this month. The aflairs of Spain comprise all that is of in- terest in the foreign news of the last fortnight. Es- partero, overthrown, is completely out of the field, and his Regency gone for ever. The two parties which have breught about the revolution, wi!l now begin, in all probability, to cut each other’s throats, indeed, symptoms of this friendly teeling has alrea- dy developed itself at Barcelona. If Espartero could have paid his soldiers, he would have kept them faithful ; but their poverty, the absence of all legitimate discipline, and the abundance with which French gold was scattered to corrupt them, have brought matters to the present crisis. His army of late years has been much larger than was really ne- cessary. Half the number, properly provided with funds and rations, would have been miuch greater service in his hour of need However, » fearful re- tribution will not be long in overtaking ‘he victors. Ia the mean time, there is little doubt that Christina will again enter Spain, taking with her, 12 all pro- bability, a Bourbon son-in-law. Of course, all chance of a commercial treaty with England is at an end, seeing that that the parties who heve been most virulent agvinst Espertero are the persons who imagine they would suffer most by such a measure—the cotton manufacturers of Catalonia and their padtisans. Spain, with its bankrupt treasury, its disorganized, idle, and insolent army, flashed with succese, though not with victory.— with the whole frame work of soe ety out of joint, and! all the conflicting elements f discord at work—presents no solitary featnre on which the eye of the patriot or the philanthropist can rest with p.eagure. Turkey, ; Advices from Constantinople of the 12th instant state, that tho Sultan had invested Riza Pasha, the Grand Marshal of the Falace, with tve snpreme con- trol over the war and y departments, or, in other words, with the lientenancy-general of the empire Three camps were in progress of formation, and the vesaels of the imperial navy were constantly em- ploed in conveying troops to Andrianople and the other places selected for the establiechment ot those camps. Count de Sturmer, the Aus rian internuncio, returned to Constantinople on the 10th. The news from Syria, dowa to the Ist instant, was unimpor- Algiers. i Aletter Irom Tlemcen, July 12th, published by the Constitutionnel, informi us that the expedition- ary column was about to march for the frontiers of Morocco. Abd-el-Kader was gone to visit his fa mily, whom he had sent forward to Tugurth, neer the great Sahara, a town belonging to the Moors, who have hitherto been neutral in the war between the French and Abd-el-Kader. China and Russia, Sr. Pererssunea, July 11—by_ intelligence re- ceived through a direct channel from Krachta it appears that the quantity of tea brought there this year by the Chinese to be exchanged for Russian produce amounts to only 30,000 chas 8; whilst last year they brought 120,000 chests. The exchange trade at Kiachta, between the Chinese and the Russians has been sy unfavorable, and most of the merchants have been obliged to leave their merchandise in the depots until next year. The price of tea has already risen considerably and will rise stillmore. The greatest share of the trade is tea is carried on between Moscow and China. The Government has summoned the principal merchants of Moscow to St. Petersburgh to hear their report on the exchange trade carried on this yeal with Kiachta, and to give their opinion as tothe best means ot remedying this state of things. Daring the late hostilities between China and England, the Russian and Chinese exchange trade was more flourishing than ot any other period. Markets.

Ia anticipation of large importation of gram from abroad, the Foreign Exchanges have declin- ed; they will probably remain without improvement for some time, but, from the abundant supply of bul- Jion in the Bank of England, the fluctuations of the corn market will have little effect upon the prices of stocks.

Liverroon Conn Manxet, Aug. 4.—In consequence of heavy rains which have fallen this morning, our market has acquired more firmness, and the transactions in wheat to-day, though on a limited scale, have generally been at rather higher rates. Flour likewise on a very moderate demand, hes brought somewhat better terms. We have nothing of importance to notice in other articles. ‘Liverroon Cotton Manxer, August 4, three o'clock ~M.—The merchants of Liverpool are meking a move ment to induce Government to allow adrawback upon duty paid cotton expored. At present fereign buyers are limited to the q y in bond, but under the new sys- tem they will also have the free stocks to choose from. Itis a fortunate circumstance thnt the Commissioners of Inquiry into revenue affairs, and the President of the Board of Trade are favorable to this plan. The market to-day maintains a steady appearance, and there isno al- teration whatever in any description of American Cot- ton, a fair demand continues to be cxperienced. The sales ill reach about 5,000 bal Conn.—A good deal of rain appears to have fallen in different parts of the country on Sa'urday and Sunday, and the reports respecting the outstanding crops not by any means improve. Harvest operatio: ave, we believe, been partially commenced this marning, in the neighborhood ot London; but reaping cannot, under any circumstances, be general for many weeks to come. Having a large show of English Wheat, (principally from Essex) the trade opened languidiy; and before any pro- gress could be made in sales, factors had to submit toa reduction of 2s per qr. on the rates of this day se’nnight, and evin at that abatement a clearance was not effected. The enquiry for free Foreign was slow, holders, however, manifested no particular anxiety to realize,and purchases could not have been made much belaw the former terms. The transactions in bonded Wheat were on rather u retail scale, but previous prices were firmly insisted on. Flour moved off slowly, and ship samples were the turn chcaper. The receipts of Barley were trifling in the extreme, and though the demand for this grain was not important, the recent advance was well supported. The little business done in Malt waslikewise at full the currency on Mon- day last. ‘There were not many Oats fresh up this morn- ing—the quantity left over frem last week’s supply being, however, considerable, and the dealers acting with much , prices had a downward tendency. On Irish the reduction since this day week may he estimated at from 6d to ls. and on even the finer kinds of English and Scotch at least 64 per qr. Beans and Peas moved off in small quantities, at about previous prices. Navat. —The U.S. ship Fairfield arrived at Pa. lermo the 14th of June—officers and crew all well.

Finz.—The fire at ten o’clock yesterday was at the corner of King and Greenwich streets; it commenced in the stables attached to the coal yard of P. Clinton. The horses were got out, but the buildings were entirely destroyed. Loss, sup- posed from $3u0 to $500. “A Gatuant Acr.—On Sunday last, as the Phila- delphia train was proceeding to New Ycrk, the en- gineer, Jackson Vernon, saw a man walking on the track,and immediately reversed the engine,when he found the maa could not be saved but at the peril of his own life ; he jumped on te the cow-catcher, and eaught the man in his arms.

We do not intend to puff Comstock & Co. because they are sfivd to let it work itsown way, and have put the price low enough for all to use it; and they, therefore, now sell it for 60 cents per bottle, $1 per dozen. The real cost in making and putting it up is us great as any other, and the great secret of its beiug afforded so cheap is, that is is not advertised so extravagantly as others.

A hungry-looking Fourierite, in clamoring for a na- tional bank exclaims, “England will not buy our flour !” seeming to forg¢t, or rather not to know, that when under the speculations engendered by the late national bank, producers all turned speculators , that we not only were obliged to buy flour of England, but to borrow of her the money to pay for it; and the large loans made to this country, obliged the Bank of England to borrow £4,000,000 of the Bank of France. In 1937, the United States imported for consumption, wheat flour equal to 3,996,259 bushels of wheat, worth $4,276,000; of this amount 800,000 bushels, worth $1,000,000, came frem England. That we imagine wasa very sufficient reason why England did not buy wheat of the United States. In the long run, however, England buys of the United States agricultural products, the money value of which Sar exceeds the value of the merchandise purchased from England by the Uuited States. It is only in yearsof great paper expansion, when prices rise so as to induce fictitious imports, that is, imports not ordered for con- sumption, but sent here on foreign account to turn into money, that the imports exceed the exports. Under a steady specie currency this never could be done. But in order to understand the trade between this country and England, we have compiled the following table from Treasury document: Imronts into THE U vo Great Bair 2 4 ++ 44,093,717 rome Tari 36.911, 1 57,875,213 545838570 52)179%610 515,961,568 545,005,378 18,470,234 40,645,653 Export to England, 1832 to 1842+ ++ 545,005,378 - Import from“ a y 68 —_ excess impor 29,043,810 Export to Eng! = Imports from - Excess export 22,175,419 Total excess exp’t to England and N, Am. Col. 51,219,259 ‘We have added up and compared the results of the im- ports and exports since 1831, because at that period three events conspired to influence in a great degree the trade betweenfthe two countries. These were first, the passage of the compromise act, providing for a biennial reduction of duties, until in June, 1842,they should not be over 20 per cent. Second, the Proclamation of General Jackson, throwing open the coloniol trade, and lastly, the expan- sive movement of the late national bank had commenced, laying the foundation of that enormous bubble which burst in 1836. Under the action of these powerful in- flueaces, it will be seen, that down to 1943, the colonial trade grew with giant strides, and the purchases of the colonies from the United States exceed by 110 per cent the salesto the States. The exports to England exceed in every year the imports from her, with the exception of three years of bank speculation, 1835, 6, 9, and the og- gregate value of the exports to England exceeds by near 30,000,000 that of the good e sold the United States. In addition to that amount of exports, near $300,000,000 was borrowed in England on stocks, banks, and compa- nies. Now, to what purpose was this large amount of money, making together near $330,000,000, applied ? Although duc this country, it was not brought here. It was used as a credit, agsinst which bills were drawn on American account from all partsof the world, England acting as banker to the United States. For instence, since 1925, the im ports from China have exceeded the exports from $5,000,000 to $4,000,000 per annum. Formerly, whena vessel went to China for teas, she carried out specie to pay for it. When, however, the large credits were formed in England, China-bound ships, instead of specie, took United States Bank bills drawn at six months on London, on money previously borrowed there by the United States Bank. In 1934-5, for instance, the Bank of England jent the Bank of the United States£1,200,000, or $5,700,000 the money was not brought here, but the United States y Bank sold in Wall street the bills of exchange drawn on ~ it to Cargon merchants, who carried them to Canton, psid
