Nt&éw YORK HERALD. NETT'S LETTERS FROM EU: ROPE, NO. IIT Eoinzoron, Mth Auru Tere we are, after ten days of repid, cv sng, droll and instructive trayelling—over part of Fuelaad, Ireland and Scotland. We left Lon- dou after the sailing of the last steamer, aud have visit ¢ Dublin and the most beautiful part of Ire- land, Glasgow and part of Scotland, and we are now restiag in this ancient and picturesque city for a day or two T havo collected a variety of curious incidents and tketches, which will take some time to arrange and record. One of the most curious is a singular scene which took place at the Corn Exchange, Dublin, in which Daniel O’Connell cut a conspicuous figure.— You will see some account of it in the newspapers —but it is so leughable and droll that I will have to devote a full letter to its causes and consequen- ees 1 paid a shilling at the door of the Corn Ex- change, out of cunosity to see the inside of that Cuiiding, and Imust sey it was well worth the mo- ney. The cause of Daniel's ebullition was, I under- stand, because his ann slavery speeches were pub- lished in the United States—eepecially by the Her- a'd—and thus stopped the flow of rent from that quarter. This is, however, a different question from Repeal, on which I have collected some authentic info mation. There may bea rebellion or insurrec tion in Ireland, but never a legal repeal. Both par- ties in Parliament are beginning to talk of con- ceding to Ireland, and it is supposed that it will be done. Bat I have no time to treat of this question at lergth to-day. Ireland is one of the inost lovely counines I ever travelled over—rich, gree 0, popu- lous and apparently comlortable—at leaet, I saw plenty of beggars but no distress. Lublin is a most hospitable city, for I was nearly knocked up by dining and parties. I have been so unweil 1 have hardly been able to write for several weeks, ever, [ shall make all up by the next steamer. Aw revoir.

We are pleased to notice talsmovement. tis one of much importance to the city, and shows a determmation | on the part of his Honor to check inthe bud the spirit of physical opposition, whieh, if permitied to gether ctreneth, must enlist company after company unul the fire department becomes divided into two great parties, in hostile opposition and eager to assert their superiority at ali hazards on every oceasion. The Recorder, in his charge to the Grand Inquest of the county at the cpening of the General Ses- sions on Monday, alluded in flattering terms to the high character the cityenjoyed for quiet and freeness from riot and mob law. And certainly it must be a matter of great gratifiction to our citizens to learn this from an authority so capable of forming a cor- rect opinion ; for all offences, alike against the pub- lie as against the peace of individuais, come under his cognizance in hi judicial capacity. But yet we have some bad characters, among the most uselul class of cit zens, who, if allowed,would soou overturn this state of things. We speak of the volunteers who attach themselves to the several fire companies, and who deem it an incumbent duty to mantlest their respect for the honor of their com- pany, and zeal for the security of their property, by committing the most wanton assaults upon the per- sons and property of their opponents. The compa- nies especially complained of, are Nos. 15, 44, and 33, al-o 41 and 8 may be included, as we gather that they are leagued with Nos. 15 and 44 agains: No. 83 The latier company cannot, when an alarm of fire calls them on duty, venture into the Manhattan districts without a certainty of being embroiled in a pitehed batile with 44 and its back- ers—nor on the other haud, can Nos. 44 or 15, dare to bring theiz engines within the limits of the East river, adjacent te the house of deposite of No.33, without paying the like penalty. Nor is this ani- mositygonly displeyed when assembled as firemen— it -hows itself almost daily in assassin-like attacks, made on individuals when beyond the reach of help from theirownparty. Several instances have been mentioned to vs. On Sunday night last, a volunteer of Ne: 15, while walking down Grand street, ac- companied by two ladies, was pounced upen by three rowdies belonging to No. 83, and was so se- verely beaten that he was obliged to be taken home in a cab, and stall lies in a very dangerous situation, the presence of woman preventing not the wretches trom so inhumanly revenging their hatred! One of the party had armed himself with a pocket pistol, alarm recently very natural'y felt, have had the good effect of thoroughly exciting the public to the propriety and necessity of adopiing every possible mieaus of securing the erty from contagion, and of increasing and preserving its cleanliness. With ou admirable location, aud superabundant supply of pure water, it will be lutterly disgraeetul if we do not keep clean. Individual precaution is also ne cessary. Aveid unripe fruit—shun undue exposure to the damp night air—patroniz~ our numerous ex- erlient baths—be temperate—feer God and honor the Republic, and you will do ali that is necessary to have @ peaceful mind and a healthy body. The rumers and reports relative to yellow fever cases in thiscity are all humbug. Nota case hes been reported by any physiciai, althongh several cases of billions fever, causing very sudden deaths, have taken plece. When it is knowa thet any physiciaa who etteads a case of yellow tever, and negiects to report it 1 the City Inspector, is liabie to # fine of $500. the ebsence of sucit report must be taken as coaclusive evidence that no case has occurred. Our cily was never more healthy, and the doctors are growling for lack of business. Dr. Vache hasshown us @ letter from Dr. Samuel Forrey, of this city, who is, we believe, a professor ot the medical co! lege, and the editor ef a medical journal. deted from Rondout, on Monday evening last, etseven o'clock, in whieh he states that the two resident physicians of that place being unwell, he has consented to re- main until their recovery, at the express request of the inhabitants. We make the following extracts, by permission :— “Having seen all cases of disease now existing here, partaking of the reigning disorder, Iam enabied to state that there is no case in which a Jate! issue, judging from present symptoms, is immediately threatened a “The physicians here agree with me in the opinion, Dased upon the history of the disease thus far, that it is abighly bilicus remittent orm of fever, with a typhoid complication.” Fuicats o¥ Financigns.—A short time since, Horsley Palmer, Exo, S. Ricardo, Morrisous, Hopes, Wiillinks, and other eminent men, visited our shores. Oo their return they were followed by General Hamilton, General Green, J. A. Parker, S Jaudon, Exq, ‘ Morigage” Murray, the Hlinoi Commissioners, David Leavitt, Esq, accorm- panied by a myriad of letters from financiers, little and big, some of whom ta/ked in favor of American credit and wrote against it; others reversed the operation: some honestly supported the national! faith, and others took hone tiy desponding views. The missions of all ‘hese gentlemen, with the ex- ception of the Illinois Commissioners, has been un- successful, because there was no unanimity of pur- pose. A portion vainly supposed ‘hat abusing their rivals would favor their own suite; but they have discovered that in European eyes the standing of all the States is identical The current is now changed, and each packet brings back some of these gentiemen, who seem to foilow each other like eagles to the gathering. Ove of the gentlemen, who recently visited Ergland on the subject of Siate and after leaving the unfortunate 15th for dead, he espied inother, to whom he gave chace—but finding him too nimble, he drew the pistol and fired Most fortunately for the us- sailed, the weapow burst, Imcerating the hand of the assailant ina most dreadful manner. Again, these fellows resort to every meaus possible to entice their opponents into their districts, with their en- gine. They raise false alarms, and an instance oc- curred within the past week when a large fire was kindled in the vicinity of the shipyards, with the hope of drawing No. 33 into that quarter, when it was resolved to give them a regular drubbing ; but most fortunately the scheme did not work as it was intended. We couit go on giving instances of si- milar outrages commitied on unoffending citizens, wholly unconnected with the fire department, et the hands of these “ Self-Protectiouists,” as they term themselves, who parade the streets efter night- teil im their shirt sleeves. daring their opponents to combat ; but eaough has been shown to cail for ac- tion in our authorities. Such conduct is destruc- tive of the best principles of good government, har- mony, and order, and must be put down in its in- favey. Unless this hostile spirit can be removed by making exemplee of a few of the prominent offend. ers, it would be better instantly to disband the companies most in fault, and suspend the others. Should such action be necessary, we know the chief engineer will not fail to recommend it. His Honor thought it better to effect the arrests, should it become necessary, by euch a force as will prevent anything like opposition or resort to arms, and has accordingly ordered the bands of the above-men- tioned captains to be doubled. Could we havea patrol watch, such conduct could not be repeated. We must have it—the citizens demand it. Cieansg THE City —We learn that the health wardens are busily employed under the direction ot the Board of Health, in causing the filthy and unwholesome parts of our city to be cleansed and purified. Warning has been given to all household- ers, not to throw their garbage or ashes into the streets, under a penalty; and we trust the carts will be sent into their respective districts, as notified, for we have observed the most utter contempt for the corporation ordinance, in the streets on the East River side of Broadway in this respect. If the Superintendent of Streets and his subordinates will but pertorm their duty, we shall have no cause to dread contagion or disease, from fiithy streets.— Send round the ashes and garbage carts, Mr. Super- tendent. Tue SrrREets AGaIn.— Why is it that the filth taken out of the sewers and drains, by those Peni tentiary Blackbirds, under their white driver, i+ InrsRestiNG To THE Boarv or Heaurn —At particu'ar period, wnen the yellow {ever haunts the itizens in iheir sieen, and is ever or their tongues throvghout their waking hours, it may possibly be desirable to dispense with the kiln dryiag of dead hogs by the sun, or experi- menting on deeayed pork by the rays of old Sol We, therefore, call the especial atiention of the Board of Health to & communication appended hereto, with the sage advice, that before they repty to the last inquiry, they studiously consult the re corded opinions ot Hamlet's grave digger, reepeet- ing the durability of the bodies of the human species, particularly commanding to their noticethe singular fact that a tanner is more durable than any other class, From this the digression will naturally turn te the habits of the pig, whose case may be under consideration, for as tanning has a_preserva- tive power over the tanner’s mortal remains, so there may possibly be something in our gutters in which the hogs wallow, that has a like effect on their cold pork. Here, then, will be opened to the erudite and industrious Board of Health, or to some member who has ambition to immortalize his name by his research, a curious inquiry, in the develope- ment of which, the capacities of the most gigantic mind of which that dignified board can boast, will find ‘ample room and verge enough” for their exercise. To tux Hoxorante THE Boarp or Heauru:— GENTLEMEN :— I have the honor of addressing your honorable body, in order to request, on behalf of the citizens reeling in the neighborhood of Catharine Lane, your attention to that vicinity. Perhaps your hon- orable body is not apprised cf the fact, that Catha- rine Laue is the most notovious spot in New York for the rearing of hogs; and that this is the favored vicinage that is immortalized by Dickens, in his celebrated hog chapters in the “American Notes.” Any morning that your honorable body chooses to station itself at the window of the Carlton House, you may enjoy the same remarkable exhibition which so much interested the famous author of “Pickwick.” Here are to be seen sallying forth for allowed to remain for several days exhaling its woxious gas, and impurity at the corners cf the streetet? Why cannot carts be at hand to carryi off as it is raised from the sewer? Iteurely would be much better than the present mode, and vastly debts, on being introduced to Lord Brougham, was politely entertained, but when he broached the ob- ject of his mission, his Lordship dryly asked— “Wheat has become of my friend Monroe Ed- wards?” It will be remembered he wes one of that © financier’s” attempted victims. The man- ner, a8 well as matier of the question, were not ca)- culated to promote discussion upon that subject. Prejodices, however, seem to be wearing away, end good siocks considered to be worth something. Tak Dissension THE 3 Cuvurce —An enormous amount ef money hes been collected to support the freedom oj the church in Seotland Many an aged sinner has had his heart softened, and his pocket opened at the recital of distress in the church. Among the contributors, we have been rejoiced to see shat our old triend Johnston, ot the fim of Boorman, Johnston & Co, hes con- tribured $500, previous to retirement from business. This is hghly gratilying, and we have no doubt the Messrs. Little, are perfectly satisfied with such a IN 1CH disposition of a porion of the $16,000 due them, for difference on Kentucky Bank stock We have not, however, made vp our mind ae to its legality These kind of subscriptions partake of the nature of p @ time contract, which are said notto be valid. How say you, gentlemen 7 How ro oer a Gorp Mepat.—We have been fur- niched with an exposure of a rather bold and eue- ceeful piece of literary larceny by a young lady, whose name we suppress. It seems, that at the last commencement of Rutger’s Female Institute inthis city, ahe was awarded the gold medai for a tale entitied “The Maid of Orleans.” A copy ot “ The Teken” for 1833 lies before us,'and in it we fad this dentice! story, under the title of “ Joan of Are.” But our correspondent appears to be igno rant of the interesting ond tolerably well known fact, that very few indeed of these “ prize composi. tions,” written by our young masters and misses, have any claims to or ginality—and why quarrel with our fair young friend in this case, when sc many “ children of a larger growth” and of our sex obrein “gold medals” in the shape of good (a off . and public gratitude, and the crown of Jeu. having etill smaller claims to them—deserving ndeed, instead, the whip and the pillory! more agreeable to the inhabitants, who hive in the immediate neighborhood. Will this be remedied ? Immigration or Catnese Lasorers.—Lord Stan- ley said recently, in the House of Commons, that the British Gove roment had received a proposition trom persons interested in the West Indies with re- gard tothe importatien of Chinere laborers, and it was also said they could be obtained in considera- ble numbers. This is an important intuma ion.— ‘The throwing open of the Chinese empire, amongst ite other effects, may bring the labor of its hordes of inbabitants into competition with the labor ot other countries. It is very possible that it may su- persede th» labor of the free blacks in the West In- dia Islands, and they therefore would find it neces- sary to export the mselves tothe free States of Ame- rica, where there are already too many of that class, who would be further reduced by this in- creased competition for labor—cr to England, where the poor white inhabitant can now scarcely obtain a bare subsistence by his utmost exertions—or back to the country in which they had their origin. This additional commingling and intermixture of the various races by wh ch this broad earth is populated, has some strange consequences io the womb of time. The softening of the ruggedness and asperi- ies which now exist will be one natural effect ; forms of barbarous and tyrannic governments will receive the influence of enlightened civilization; modes and forms of worship, creeds and ceremo- nies, will be amended by the cantactef the Christian with the Heathen aud the Barbarian, and the pre | seutand the fulure are therefore both to be affected by this movement. African civilization, and the development of African resources, may be a more immediate consequence of the return of negroes who have uvbibed impressions of religion and civil government in this land of light and free- doms but of this we are now certain, the whole ci- vilized and uncivilized world is in a ferment, heav- ing quietly or convulsively, and old systems, whetber of government or of superstition, must give way to neiter and wiser, which the brightening intellect of man, and the benign spirit of true religion, will evolve from the darkness of error. {kg The thermometer stood at 95 in Philadelphia at 8 o'clock, P.

It was Mr. Ruseell’s intention and arrangement to have returned to England during the present month; and in fact, he is announced to sing at the Birmiogham Musical Festival ; but the very flatter- ing inducements made to him to visit New Orleans during the winter months, will delay his departure for Europe until early in the ensuing epring.

Yes, these men are all highly respectable; but avery good authority has it, that “the Prince of Darkness is a gentleman,” and, consequently, his progeny musi, necessarily, be men of ‘high stand- ing.” Even the very justice, before whom this man was teken, admits his character to be still “* none the worse for wear,” for he holds him to bail in the sum of $5000, on charges of forging paper to the amount of forty-one thousand dollars—balance in Goddard’s favor $36,000. We entreat our read- ers notto burst their waistbands as they laugh over this funny affair. The following is the story :— Our community has been thrown into a state of unpro cedented excitement and astonishment by the develope ment of forgeries committed by one hitherio of high star.d- ing, and to an extent almost ursurpissed in the history ot crimes of the sort. The forger is William Goddard ot Petersham, postmaster at that place, and member ot seve- ral trading and manufacturing ficms. The amount of forged paper exceeds forty one thousand dollars. The following is an account of the developement of the cir: cumstances. On Wednesday last, an acceptance drawn by Williem Goddard & Co. on C. & W. Miles of New York, for $1500, duted August 12. payable in six months, was presented at atbank in New York for discount, by a young man from Boston. The cashier, not knowing that Mr. Charles Miles, one of the drawers, had a partner, requested that the paper might be left till one o’clock, to be presented to Mr. Miles. On seeing it Mr. M. pronounced {t a forgery. One ofthe company of drawers, Captain D. J. Foster, be. ing then in the city, he was called on by Mr. Miles. Mr. Foster was thunderstruck by the forgery, and all were igno 1 itsorigin. The young gentlemen from Boston who was found to have come rightiully by the paper,was persuaded to retain the paper a short time, on the plea of rea overdraught on Miles. Mr. Foster then started for ome. On reaching Petersham he called on Mr. Goddard for explanation, not yet believing him the forger. On being pre e soon confessed that he had been guilty ot it, an dthat more paper of the kind was in circulat on, but in his then agitated state he could give no account of it. Mr. Foster immediately returned to Worcester,where he met one of the directors of the Ware Bank, who by a singular accident had also become acquainted with the forgery. Iteacian that an acceptance drawn by William God- dard & Co, on Wightman & Wilcox of Philadelphia, for $2000, and endorsed by Aaron Brooks, Jr. Esq , payable atone of the banks in Boston, had been discounted at the Ware Bank. lt came due on Commencement day, when the banks were shut, and of course was payable theday before. Not being paid it was protested, and no- tice sent to each of the endorsers, while the draft was returned to Ware. Wightman & Wilcox immediately answered thatthey had accepted no such paper. led to an examination at Ware Bank, when th’ much other paper in the bank w: Measures were immediate! ier of Ware Bank proceeded to Pete!

All the above names, save Goddard's, were forgeries. ‘The abuye aper now lays as follows ; in Ware Bank, $19,000; with W. li. & J, B. Foster, Boston, about $10,000; with Chase & Grew,o” Boston, about $10,000. Thus within tour months anda half heve $41,700 of paper been terged and discounted, The forgeries were well executed, and but for the two singulur accidents above mentioned, would not at present, at least, have beep discovered. The money to take up the $2000 dra't was cent to Boston, end bnt jor the closing of the bank on commencement day, it would have been token up. Had the other draft been presented at any ether bank in York than that at which C, Miles did business, it would have passed. By what unforeseen events does crime transpire 7 Mr. Goddard is 4 man of about thirty five years of age, anative of Petershom, where his father and friends stand highly respectable. He has sustained a character mere than usually high for integrity and sctive business ta: lent for many years, and no man could have been picked who would have been deemed more unlikely, by the commission of such a crime, to entail infamy upon him- self and shame upon his friends. No other motive is con- ceived than a reliet from pecuniary embarrassment. He confesses fully the perpetration of the crime and entirely absolves his partners, who are gentlemen of high standing, from all knowledge of its commission. Of the proceeds of the forgeries, $15,009 was used for William Goddard & Co.; $17,000 for Guddard’s private debts ; $5,200 for Hildreth & Goddard. The intention undoubdt edly was toteke up the paper as it become due—as he al- ready had the $400. ~ Mr. Goddard was arrested on too morning and ta ken before Jared Weed, Esq. He pleaded guilty and was ordered to recognize in $5 000 fer his apprarance before the Criminal Court on the k jonday of this month — The bail was furnished b; father, father-in-law aod brother.in-law, and he is now at Jiberty.

Mexico and Texas to enter into peaceful negotiations, and of the disposition ot Eng- land to act the part of mediator. With respect to the armistice between Texas and Mexico, the fol- lowing is given as the precise terms of the commu- nication of Santa Anna to the British Minister:— “Santa Anna, ina verbal conversation with the British Charge at Mexico, You may inform General Hou! ton, that if he will suspen ‘ hostilities on the part of Texsi I will suspend them on the part of Mexi id that I will ree commissioners from him to negotiate as to the terms of the armistice ; and that I wall also receive prepo- sitions from him for a permanent peace, but will not en- tertain any proposition baving tur its object the separation of the department of Texas trom Mexico.’ ” The cfficial paper, the National Vindicator, an, nounces that— Dispatches have just been received at the State De~ partment, from Captain Charles Eiliott. Her Britannic Majesty ’s Charge d’ Affaires, communicating off of the fact, that Gea. Adrian Wel), Commande! of the Army of the North hal been authorized by the Supreme Government of Mexico, te arrange, with Com- missioners to be appointed by Texas, more definitely, the terms of the armustic already established between the two countries, and that hostilities would immediately cease on the port of Mexico. We also understand that Commis sioners will be appointed to meet at Loredo in Sep tember next, and that upon « satisfactory adjustment of the points there to be discussed and the ratification of the same by the respective parties, that Commissioners are then to be appointed tor the purpose of settling all exist ing difficulties between the two countries, under the neu- tral and friendly mediution of Great Britain, France and the United States. . The Houston Telegraph, of the 16th, states that in pursuance of ip resitcatisn, Colonels S. Wii. liams and Georg . Hockley have been appointed Commissioners on the part of Texas. A correspondence is published in the Galveston News, between Miguel Barbachano, acting on behalf of the Yu catan Government, and ex-Commodore Moore, late of the Texan Navy, in regard to the subsidy to be allowed to that otticer for his services in the jate hostilities with Mexico. As a matter of right, according to the literol terms of the contract mode by Colonel Pedraza, commis: sioner on the part of Yacatan, at New Ocleons, with Com, Moore, Signor Barbachano considers that the Commodore has no claim whatever, but as on appreciation of his eer vices in the cuuss, he is disposed to allow him twenty- nine hundred dollars. ‘This he Commodere acceyts,in o tette rhich he promi is assistance, should Yacu- in forced into a war in defence ef her “just” anding the acts of the Executive of ‘Texas, Signor Barhachano may rost assured that the people of that country are with Yueaten, anc folly apprecinte their nob ¢ stand. Signor Parbachano replies to the offer in the following manner: I no doubt out it will terminate in your favor, for you on your sido the sympathy of tho Texians, and justice will at last prevail. Trepeat to you my sincere offers of services, and be pleased to recept from me my thanks for the prompt nid you have given, and for yout co-operation in the case ot Yueaten. Thaveno doubt but if your services were again required you would, a8 soon as possible, render the some, accord fog to your promise, and Yucatan would gladly acc: m. The amount, it ears, was faithfully paid over to Com. Moore. ig The British Charge d’Aftaires, Con. Eliott, has made a formal requisition in the name of his government upon that of Texas, for 3,000,900 acres ofiand in the section of country, designated cn the old maps as Cameron's and Beale’s grant. ‘This claim is preiervel for Mr. John Woodward and others, subjects, i: would appear, of Great Britain. Mr. Woodward 1s the same individual who beld, the appoiutment of Consul General ofthe Repubtic of Tecns in the United States, from which office he was dis- sniseed for improper conduct in the discharge of his offi- cial duties. ‘the Congress of ‘vexas had refused to ace knowledge this claim. It is stated thet Mr. Beale and the other parties interesied have paid at one time $40,000, at enothey $20,000, and smaller aums at different times, to secure their cisim ; and they contend they hive « just right to demand the land in question, or to require Texas torepay them the nee they have expended to colonize it. a'he plea of Texas for resisting the claim, is, that it was made with the Mexicen goverument before the revo- lution, and that that government is aloue responsible for itsintriugement. The Houston Star deni tight of the British Charge to make the demand, and that if this claim be allowed, it will open the door to many oth- ers not less extensive, such as the Powers grant, Wvod: bery’s, McMuilen and McGlone’s, and{indeea every other empresario grant may be enforced by similar means, un- der the direction of the respective goveroments, to which these empresarios belonged ; and hereafter Great Britain and Belgium may inter) and require Texas to fulfil the contract with Mr. ‘0, Mr. Fisher, and Messrs. Convers, Carrol and others, . There appears to be no other news of particular importance, and we congratulate Texas on such as we have, for an assurance of peace will promote the arts of peace, and the price of land, and the in terests of commerce will raise with the confidence that may be established. Later From Sr. Dominco.—By the arrival of the brig Mohegan, we have received advices up to the 15th ult. When the M. left reports had been re- ceived that a revolt had broken out in Aux Cayes. The rebels were headed by one calling himself “King Solomon the First,” and their numbers were said to be two thousand. The National Guards and all the citizens of Port- au-Prince, capable of bearing arms, were ordered to prepare for immediate march, to assist in subdu- ing the rebels, and were waiting for the return of General Revere, who was at the north of the island quelling an insurrection caused by the Spaniards. The patriots at Aux Cayes were under the command of General Lazara. On the ninth of August a battle was fought near Aux Cayes, which resulted in the defeat of the re- bels, having one hundred and five killed and a large number wounded. The patriotism of General La- zara was questioned by the mulattoes, he being black, but if he should prove true to the cause of the patriots, the rebels would undoubtedly be obliged to capitulate. We are informed that the cause of the insurrec- tion wasa jealousy existing on the part of the blacks, cecasioned by the fact that the mulattoes filled all the most conspicuous offices of governement, while the blacke were obliged to be content with the in- ferior grades. Up to the hour of the brig’s sailing no farther ad- vices had been received from Aux Cayee, and Ge- neral Revere had not arrived at Port-au-Prince, but was hourly expected. All was quiet there at the time of sailing. {g- By the brig New England, Capt. McCurdy, arrived last night from Aux Cayes, we received the following letter from our correepondent :— Aux Caves, August 12, 1843, On our arrival at this place’we learned that a second revolution hud broken out, and of a more dangerous character than the former one, inasnuch as that was for a change of government, but the present is one of color—mulattoes and negroes fight- ing for the supremacy. The war miey Stay ite hor- rors fora time, when either party shall have defeat- ed the other; but peace and tranquility will never again be restored so long as there are two grades of color. The major part of those now in power are mulattoes. Of this the blacks have a well-grounded jealousy ,and demand equal representation, which the mulattoes refuse, considering them an inferior race. As they number four-fifths of the whole population of the island, mulatto policy hasinvested some of the most ambitions blacks, with @ few unimportant tmsts. ‘The insurgents are headed by a judge So- lomen and hiotre cous. They occupy the top of a hill near this place, and are said to be surrounded by a large body of the government troops, who are awaiting the atrival of Gen. Lazar irom Jeremie, with a reinforce toftrocps. He is commander- in-chiet of this division, and is said to be a man of energy and talent. His appearence is anxiously ex- pected, as all will be uncertainty until he shail have determined the crisis. The people of Aux Cayes speak; of the blacks, ef their numbers, resources, &c. with contempt, but fear betrays itself through all their actions. The cityfis now under martial law ; every man is under arms ; the fire engines are filled with water, and are manned night and day. Every avenue leading into the city is guarded. For a iew days business was almost wholly suspended. The inhabitants remo- ved their most valuable effects cn board the vessels in the harbor; many women and children for a short time took refuge on board the shipping until the scene of war was removed a little farther from thetowa. | Several skirmishes were fought a few days since, and a number of rebel prisoners taken, among which are afew of the ringleaders ot the rebels, who are i sent to Port au Prince. Notwithstanding this seeming success, the gov- ernment sues for peace, and every day sends foriha new proclamation offering a free pardon to all except the principals. As the prisons are crowded it is thought necessary to order executions, that the new eonldaca 4 be accommudated ; and this sanguinary measure I believe will be put intoexecution without the tedious formalities ot a trial. i as The coffee crop, which is nearly ripe, will avail little, as most of the cultivaters are conscripted into the army. This applies only to the southwestern district of the island. So much for their affairs. Yours, &c. From Vera Cruz.—The barque Anahuac, Capt. Wilson, arrived last night from Vera Croz, whence she eeiled on the 10th ult. We are indebted to Capt. W. fora file of “El Siglo Diez y Nuevo,” published at Mexico. Later dates, however, have been received via New Orleans. 0G- DAY PERFORMANCES TA!

The tfews from abroad is excevding'y gratifying in re. lation to American affairs. The abundance of money in England is at last producing its natural effects, and Ame- rican stocks are reviving in animatien, The circular of the Barings, hereto annexed, states the feeling of the mar- ket generally, as well as the prices :— Amenican Stocxs, Loxpox, Avo 19. “ There has been a revival of prosperity in American stocks within the last few days, fuunded on the ices of continued improvement in the United Stat moted by the present abundance of idle purchsses ha terthan fo pect t extent for the lutter purpose, until Pennsylvania, Maryiand, 6nd Louisiana have adopted a sound and honorable system of Jegisia- tion with regard to their public debts. A resumption, oa the part of these great States,of the regular payment of the interest on their loans, would go very far te produce a change of public opinion, and a restoration of general confidence in American securities. A large amount of Pennsylvania 6 per cevt, say about $100,000, has been sold at 47 percent—since which, this stock is held at 60, with buyers at 48 and perhaps 49 per cent. A considera: bie business has been done in Louisiana sterling 6 per cent bonds of the Union Bank, in tour series, at 57, beg an advance, in a few days, of 7 per cent; the series of 1844 is held at 75—buyers at'70 per cent. Buyers of the bonds of the Bank of Louisiana at &0 percent. The bonds of the Consolidated Association are held at $3 tor 1-43, and 60 per cent for 1848 Some trifles of Obio 6's have been done at 80. We quote New York State 6's at 80—buyers; City 6's at 87 to 8. Mussachusetts 5 per cent sterling, 97—buyers. South Carolina sterling bonds, 6 per cent, 91 to 92.

The newsirom abroad has had a good effect generally, and prices have improved—Ohio 6's, 4; Illinois, 3; Long Island, }; Harlem, }. At the new Board there was also a good business done. It will be remembered that some time since aperson Was arrested in London for passing United States ‘Tree- sury notes, with a torged endorsement, and suspicions were excited that it was the same who uttered forged paper to Jacob Little & Co. Mesvrs. Lowndes and Hoye went out, and the latter gentleman instantly recognised him among filty others, a8 the notorious Jack Reed, and he was remanded. About $12,000 of the money obtained from the Messrs. Little was in the hands of the Union BS5k of London, and will be recovered. Webb, the ac- complice of Rood, it is stated is in France, thotwo ha ing quarrelled. Webb on a sudden return to their house, found Reed in illicit intercourse with his wale, ond im- mediately seized what he could and made for Frence. It Is highly gratifying thet a portion of the plunder is re. covered, We stated some time since that orders had been sent to England for the purchase of the iron for the extension of the Harlem Railroad to White Ploins, and for the Mo- hawk Road. Those purchases have been compieted on favorable terms. The iron is obtained for £4 178. per ton. Whenthe Harlem was built. iron paid £11 perton, and $25 duty, making 80 It now costs only $22, the duty being remitted.
