New York, News from Ir is possible that we may receive news from Eng- Th rope Caledonia is now duc Srare Liapuery.—Since the failure of several of the States of the Union to meet the interest on their stock: d lor borrowed mouey, various schemes have been proposed to compel them to do so. One was by assumption, which was promptly, by all parties, declared unconstitational. The next was by indirect assumption, viz: to alienate part of the goverament revenues, and make them the basis of a new stock, to be issued in the name of the Union, ior the redemption of the State debts. This was a nondescript mode. The funds of the United States federal treasury could not be used to pay the debts, that would be unconstitutional; but the tuads were to be set apart, and called the property of the State d then applied to the yment of a debt issued ia the name of the United This e clearly anew confederation of the States, ose other than any of those laid down in the Constitution, Mr. Jobn A. Parker has now roposed another plan.

The constitution of the U. States has debarred a citizen of one State from suing the government of another State, yet Mr. Parker contends that his own government owes him a protection, and is bound to seek it for him, not by foree of arms, as between two foreign govern- wt in the Supreme Court of the United This reasoning is clearly just, when ap- plied to aets of spoliation, such as the property of ubjected to in time of war; but we do sto monied transac- Mr. Parker states ments, States, citizens are not conceive that this appli y entered into. ons, vol as follows :— “Thirdly. The y confirm the opinion that the nold taxable property of every individual in the ate is liabl and that their property may be levied upon under judgment against the State. Tue grounds of the liability are, that they are parties to the contract—the government ef the State being inherent in them, and the Legislature being only heir authorised servants, hoiding a delegated power that the whole property of the State is pledged for its debts, in the power ceded by the people to the Legislature to lay taxes; and such power being the basis of credit, becomes an obligation on the part of the people who gave it; and the legislature ng or vefusing to exercise its power in the tul- ment of its contracts, by a plain and obvious prin- siple of common law, the obligation falls back upon the people who gave, or authorised the power, and on whom it was to be exercised ” Now, admitting this position to be true, the col- lective people of one State are bound to pay an obli- gation to an individual of another State,in the same manner that the individual of one State is suable int Tnited States Court for his obligations to the citizen of another St This latter the constitu- tion provides for, and not the former, and the rea- on is obvious. It the collective stock debts of a people may, by sovereign authority, be enforced in tavor ot an individual, then the individual mercan- le debts may be enforced in the same manner.— tence, if a merchant failed in New York, in debt person in London, and the United States ab- olved its citizens from the liability by a bankrupt law, and that citizen afterward acquire property, then Great Britain, to protect its citizen, would be obliged to compel payment from the government of the U The carrying out of th 1el ple at the present moment would involve this coun- in a war with all the world mublie fe1s.—In passing along our nic thoroughfares, » the most of ctory organs of our ar their burdens pa- orporation Officers are permitted to nsive their datie ear alter year Without one word Occasionally, the press takes up the subject, but itis dropped again, nd the same evils still exist.

In the Bortou Municipal Court on Friday a “practiews lawyer” irom New York was tried for conspiracy to cheat publishers and other traders. He appears to have been a precious operator, but he was but one of a class stilleatant in this city. ‘The Bosten Port gives the following repert ot his trial, with some ot his edifying and instructive correspondence :— Trrat ov Tuxovorr J. Martin, Esq , For a GEN- erat. Consprracy to Cukar.—The operations of Daniel L. Patterson, last winter, are doubtless par- tienlarly fresh in the recollections of several pub- lishing house i merchants in this city. From Messrs. Blake & Trombull and others he obtained goods to the amount of $17,000, for which he paid some $3,000, and our dealers became minus the diflerence. Four mdictments resulted from these speculations: Ist, against Patterson for cheating Crocker & Bre 3 2d, ditto ditto, tor cheating Little & Brown; 3d, ditto ditto, for cheating James Munroe & Co.; and 4th, against Martin and Patterson joint- ly, for conspiring, on the Ist of December, 1812, to cheat Charles C. Little, James Brown, James Mun- coe, Wm. H. Dennett, Uriel Crocker, and Oanyn Breweter, To these four indictments Patterson, last May, teaded that he would not contend with the com- monwealth, and since then he hasbeen kept in jail, to be used as a witness against Martin, who was ar- rested in New York in June. Yesterday afternoon Martin was put on trial; and the fact that he was, at the time of the transactions last winter, connected with Patterson, was tully es- tablished by Mr. Biake and other witnesses. Patterson’s testimony was long, but clear, and amounted precisely to thiy:—He entered into an ar- rangement with Martin to cheat as many people in Boston as he could. The first step was to establish acredit, by making purchases, and promptly paying up; aud at the same time representing himselt to be connected with Martin, a man of capital in New York. His first drafts on Martin were daly honor- nd in this way Patterson, in a month orso, es: ablished a credit, through which he obtained $14,000 worth of books and merchandize n drafts ou Martin, whieh have never been ef ta Some of the property has been traced to New York auction rooms. Patterson was to push on his pur- chases till he obtained $50,000 worth of goods. Mosrs Cranx—constable—testified that yester- day, when he took Patterson and Martin out of jail, Martin said to Patterson—‘*Dan, if it hadn’t been for you, these damned Yankees would not have hadime ” He further said—*I don’t know but these damned Yankees will make me work a few years forthem ; butif they do, I shall still make a good thing out of it. I shall make a thousand dojlars a year out of it, and I don’tcare a damn. Another pertion of the evidence consisted of the lneee choice business-like letters from Martin to atterson :— New York, Jan.15, 1843. Dear Dan—I believe itis all O. K. T think I have ar- ranged the matter; when B, returns just set about it and fix matters straight. Ihave fixed C. and Biake, and 1 guese between the two you will beable to fix matters so as to give youa breathing spell. So, push on, and I hope that you aid L will be uble te do something so as to get me out of thisfix. We have got topay B.& T. 850--and all the rest we can get we must get to pay our other debts. Tam agreat loser by this business and I hope you will yet be able to make me whole; at all events you must try; and, therefore, get up and go out and face the whole dam squad as 1 do; and ifthey wont renew at 60 days, every dam dreft falling due this month, let them ell goto hell—and now reeollect, you must get all the draits renewed. Blake will aasist you and so WillC. So push on my boy,and we will yet be conquerors. Dont be dis- couraged, and dont say anything about what takes place here—yon must he ignorant and leave it all to me to say; know exactly what to say; ask Blake if 1dont. Now, Dan, recollect—B. & T. 959—T. J. M. 2362—D. L. P. 1000, and then we will get along better. TU. Second letter, without date :— « Dan—Dont you make any statement of your affairs to any person; tell them you cant tell till 1 furnish my ac- count current. Let them go to Hell. Blake willtry this, and dont you do a dam thing till you write me first, and 1 will tell you whether it will do or not, Now recollect, Dan—dont do a dam th Dont say a dam thing till you first Jet me know. I have taken. the helm and therelore you have nothing to do but coil down the rigging and stand by the braces, 1 will sail the ship hereafter myself. All | wint you for is a foremast hand, and to obey your cuptain’s orders. T. J. MARTIN. My respects to L—.” For the defence, Charles Hutchinson, clerk for Martin, in New York, testified that Martin, by the sale of lands in Tennessee, did raise between $2000 3000 for Patterson, and that it was empioyed eet the Boston drafts of the latter. [This wasa fact, however, not in any way incom- patible with the conspiracy, as the very money thus raised might have been used in carrying the conspi- racy into effect] WAtter charging the jury, Judge Cummings ad- journed the court. In about 45 minutes the jury agreed and sealed up their verdict, which will be rendered this morning. Martin has been a practising lawyer in New York. The Boston Evening Transcript of Saturday con- tains the result as iollows _ Theodore J. Martin, a gentleman from the New York bar, for conspiring to cheat James Munroe and other booksellers, was this morning sentence: to two days and five years in the House of Corree- tion. He would have been sent to the State prison had the court possessed the power to do so. ‘Tue Exxor 0’ ruz Moon.—The clear, refulgent meon on Saturday night, at the peaceful hour when half the world is in repose, shone brightly on the dying agonies of an omnibus horse, as he lay in Broadway, where he had fallen ‘ with harness on his back.” ‘The melancholy scene suggested many painful reflections of the vicissitude of all ter- restrial beings. No more the gentle creature would stop to add an anxious matron to his burthen, to bear her to her brood of anxious children; no more would he cast a wistful glance at either side walk as his driver, with stentorian lungs, cried “ Broad- way, Broadway;” no more would he convey anxious pleasure seckers to witness the grotesque laughter provoking performances of the inimitable Gabriel Ravel; no more—‘ Watch! watch!” cried a lusty nigger, and thus disturbed these moving reflections; and from the struggles and death agonies of the poor animal, the scene was changed to one of a dif- ferent character; In Florence’s splendid saloon, some beings, supposed to possess intelligence above the brutes, were disfiguring each other like sa- vages, while in the melee tumblers, decanters, wine glasses, gorgeous ornaments, tubes and trays, were flying in most admired confusion. Damage to the amount of $100 in glasses was sustained, but in feature and limb no estimate could be made. The affray arose out of the impertinence of a presuming lawyer, who got beaten to his heart’s content for his insolence, and was then conveyed to the Tombs, where he was arraigned before the captain of the watch, who deemed the punishment he had re- ceived sufficient for the offence. A Caitica. Moment.—Dr. , the physician in charge of the Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell’s Island, has been in the habit of amusing himself daily in fishing for bass and porgies in the Hurlgate, his crew beiag generally composed of inmates of the Asylum, who were so far recovered as to be allowed the recreation of such trips. A few days since he took with him “Admiral Bill,” an old aman, who has been confined there many years, and from the peculiar feature of his insanity has been generally styled *‘Admiral,” until he now an- swers to no other appellation. Bill had the stroke oar, and being of stalwart frame he urged the boat along, making his crew work with a will. The dec- tor, who isof rather diminutive stature, was seated quietly in the stern sheets, with the tiller ropes in his hands, w ing with much delight the motions of Admiral Bill—when suddenly he observed him throw up his oar in a most navy-lile style, and lay itaboard. The next moment Bill stood before him and seized him in his powerfal grasp, lifting him from the seat as if he had been an infant. Holding hun out over the side, Bill demauded “grog, or Vil throw you to the fishes.” ‘The men had rested on desu their oars watching th , and the current was carrying the boat towards the “back.” Recovering his presence of mind in an instant, the doctor éxed his eye upon the maniac and saw the neceseity for ». Bill said he, “it was a great oversight notto have brought the bottle along, but lay hold and we'll pull back andgetit. Iteertainly was a very great oversight.” Bill laid him back in the sheets, took up bis oar and ina few minutes the boat lay alongside the Asylum dock. Admiral Bill was returned to the cell, and the doctor has taken care that he has never since pulled the stroke oar. immediate acti he splendid packet ship Sheri- dan, Captain Depeyster, sails for Liverpool on the 5h instant.

The St. Joha papers give accounts of further outbreaks at Miramichi, and of the military beiag engaged in suppressing riots, but they were treated as a joke. There is no doubt, however, that three companies of troops have been sent there to preserve the peace. The Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick was at St. John, with his family, Lady Colebrook and her daughters. The HalifasjHerald gives the following account of an incident of which the commencement was men- tioned in some of the last papers from that quar- ter: Two fast sailing American schooners were ob- served last week, by pt Darby, off Sable Island, and within the ish fishing ground. We leara the schooners were wreckers, aud went to the island for the purpose of plundering the wrecks as well as stealing cattle. Cap’. D., finding that he could not come within gunshot of them, came immediately to Halifax, and reported the circumstance to the Ad- miral, who next morning despatched the man-of-war steamer Hermes to the Island. The steamer return- ed on Saturday last to this port, after being satisfied that the two vessels were there, and that they were acting contrary to the treaty. Nothing it appears was done © them, for, from their position aud the breeze that was blowing, a steamer ought to have taken them after a chase of three hours at farthest. One blank shot was fired at one of the schooners, whichdoubtless had the effect of making the Yanke:s laugh. er Mexico axp Yucaran.—By an arrival last night from South America we have a confirmation of the contemplated renewal of hostilities between Mex'co and Yucatan, which we published some days ago. The bark Smyrna brings the intelligence that the Secretary of the Yucatan Commissioners had re- turned with the assurance that no treaty bad been concluded and that the Commission was dissolved. The Commissioners themselve had returned to Vera Cruz, and hostilities were expected to be renewed in the fall. Og Mr. W. F. Gates, a well known comedian in this city, died yesterday morning, after a short ill- ness. Itis said that he has left his family well pro- vided for, being possessed of some $20,000, the savings of several years. He was in the prime of life, being but in the 37th year of his age; buthe was carned off by an attack of bilious intermittent fever, against which no age is proof. Mr. Gates was a man much respected, and doubtless his large circle of friends will show their regard for him by attending his funeral this afternoon. His profes- sional brethren will also be present in great num- bers. The company engaged at the Chatham The- atre were convened tegether by Mr. Deverna, the manager, on receipt of the intelligence ef Mr. Gates’ death, and they passed a series of resolutions asa testimonial of their veneration and respect for the memory of the deceased. They agreed to at- tend his funeral in a body, and wear the usual badges of mourning for thirty days: also to dispatch a letter of condolence with a copy of their proceed- ings to the widow. It is but a very brief period since Mr, Gates, in perfect health, took part in pay- ing the same sad testimonials of respect to the memory of the late Mr. Abbott, of the Park Thea- tre. Peace to his ashes. He will not, however, be soon forgotten, either as an actor or as a man. A Bout at Cupaets —The pure balmy air of yes- terday morning, with the quiet repose of the Sab- bathin our streets, was calculated to sooth even a ruffled temper, and make a crabbed creature feel benevolent. Two genteelly dressed men, how- ever, met in Chatham Square, and fought like ti- gers. And there was apeculiarity in the manner of the combat, and the mode of its commencement, which may require a passing notice. This meeting was evidently an accidental one. They were dressed each in his Sunday habiliments, and with & stout walking cane, were about to walk forth to inhale the revivifying breath of heaven, to gaze upon the beauties of nature, and to listen to the hymn of praise of the choristers of the skies. But inChatham Square they saw each other approach, and their eyes became sparkling with furious hate; yet self control and sell possession characterized them both. They met and deliberately took off their hats, which were placed on the ground, and then they cudgelled each others’ heads until their hair was clotted with gore, and the “ human face divine” presented a most hideous spectacle. Nothing was said by the one to the other, nor by the specta- torsto either; nor did they parry each others’ blows; it was apparently an experiment to test the relative strength of theirskulls, but we did not learn which of the two established his claim to the possession of the hardest. Who Lrr Tuomrson Loose?- The District At- torney says he did not. His journeyman,J. W. Strang says he did not. Then who did let Thompson loose? Where is Tom Lloyd? Who did marry Captain Schindley ? Can the Judges of the Court of General Sessions tell ? Axorner Fountain —A rival to the Bowling Green Fountain is to be immediately laid in St. John’s Park. The earnest solicitation of the own ers of property in that neighborhood, backed by the powerful aid of the Corporation of Trinity Church, having overcome the opposition in the Common Council. We are pleased to find itso, as we say by all means—beautify the city. ‘Tur WeatuEr.—The month of September thus far, with the exception of a few cold, blustering days, has been most delightful. Some parts of the country have been visited with a slight frost, but not of sufficient strength to impede the ripening of regetation cg Highway robberies are now being resorted to in this country. We have had all other sorts of rascalities,and new,for variety sake, we have “foot padding.” On Friday night, between nine and ten, as Mr. Philip Morris, of Boston, was proceeding from his work towards his residence in South Bos- ton, he was accosted near the corner of East street, by two Irishmen, who inquired of him the time of night. As Mr. Morris was turning ro answer them, he received asevere blow on the head,which felled him to the earth. He was stunned by the blow, but not sufficient to prevent him from making anoutcry, which alarmed the robbers, and they fled. The blow was very severe, and it may be some time be- fore Mr. M. recovers from its efleets. He is now so unwell as to be unable to leave his room. Thus we go, andto what degree of perfection we shall arrive ere long, puzzle the wisest. fg- Watch stuffing, dropping the pigeon, and many frauds of like character, are common in this city, and flats are found ready to be guiled, not- withstanding our frequent warnings. A gentleman from the northern part of this State was defrauded of thirty dollars, some few days since, by the “drop game,” although he evinced some caution. Let all strangers button up their pockets, and have nostreet transactions when they come here. fg Burglaries are becoming common in Buffalo. ‘The Buflalo Advertiser of Friday has the following paragraph he boot and shoe store of W. G, Ransdell, on the wharf, was broke open last night and robbed of $150 worth of goods. The scoun- drels eflected an entrance by prying off the fasten- ings of a board window in the rear. The clothing shop of Wm. Dodsworth near the same place was broken open on Sunday night last and $75 worth of clothing taken. Would it not be well for our Com- mon Council te strengthen the force of the night watch, or else station a part of the present number other than on Main street and its immediate vi- cinity ?

Musica anv Tuxatricau.— The week on which we are now entering preseats a ; Weat variety of mu- sical and theatrical amusements. Sigmora Castellan Giampietro stands first in the list ar\d in i mportance; her concert willbe given this evening ,at the Wash. ington Hotel, and, with her powerfui attraction, it will be a brilliant one. Mr. Rusrsell,on Tuesday, will also have a fashionable concert, as has ever are. Mr. Wallace too, will give a concert on Thurs- day night, aided by Mrs. Sutton, of whom we have spoken elsewhere. Niblo will alter- nate the Ravels with the Italian opera, both of which are exceedingly attractive and as he has enclosed his theatre, there will be no danger to the ladies trom the night air, The Park retains Wallack, whose acting combines purity of diction, gentlemanly ease and gracefulness, and a true conception and embodiment of the character which he assumes. The Chatham has Yankee Hill as its chief star, but an Indian chief adopts the sock and buskin, and pleysin a piece adapted for him. This is indeed a novelty, and much curiosity will be felt to see an Indian player, But there is besides a little musical prodigy, who plays a la Paganini The Amphitheatre also presents a range of perform: ances of some novelty and great merit, and the Mu- seums enter the contest with much that is rare and curious. Thus all tastes can be gratified. Mr. Wa.tace.—This great artist, unsurpassed by any on the violin or piano forte, has arrived in the city, afler a tour of the most astonishing success. ‘The fame of his brilliant reception in New York had already preceded him, and the result has been that overflowing houses have greeted him every where. ‘The public will be glad to perceive, by his announcement, that he gives a concert on Thursday evening next, at the Apollo Saloon, and that he has engaged that unrivalled artist, Madame Sutton, whose rich and briiliant tones, equal throughout, joined to her fine style, has ever been the theme of admiration with all. Mr. Wallace has engaged a full and efficient. orchestra, which will make the present concert more attractive thaa the former ones, irom the fact, than an orchestral accompani- ment, whether ia singing or solo playing, not only gives some support, but conveys to the ear the ful- lest harmony of the composition, and which a piano forte alone 1s unequal to. The concerts of Mr. Wal- lace possess three great attractions, the first vocal and instrumental talent in the country, Mr. Wallace excelling onthe violin and piano forte. We shall refer to this agaizi when the programme appears. Nisto’s.—The Pantomime of Pantomimes, ‘The 55 Misfortunes of Fortunatus,” which is played to- night is having such a very successful run that Ga- briel seems likely to have ‘*55” opportunities of ap- pearing as the urfortunate Fortunatus. Madam Leon, as the Fairy, is truly graceful, and seems to improve nightly in her dancing. We perceive by the announcements that the “* Bedouin Arabs’? is to be giver to-night with the Pantomime ; the Ravels do not perform any entertainment that creates so much surprise or delight as the “ Bedouin Arabs,” the trampoline somersets of Leon are truly astonish- ing;the ever-pleasing tight rope;a dance by Madame Leon and the ‘55 Misfortunes” constitute a very pleasing and diversified entertainment. ‘The Italian Company is busily empleyed preparing Bellini’s Opera of Norma for Wednesday next. Maine Exxctrion.—The returns from 248 towns give Anderson for Governor, 23,236; Robinson, 16,900 ; Abolition and scattering, 7,989. Anderson falls short of a majority in these towns 1653. There is slight hope of hiselection by the people. It is be- tween Anderson and havannagh. Nothing more definite has yet been received from the Congres- sional Districts.

The Johan Adams sailed for Montevideo on the 2d. The Brandywine and St. Louis sailed on the 6th for the East Indies. Stream Suir Brrransia left Boston for Liver- pool on Saturday afternoon, with 32 passengers, and the mails, containing 15,000 letters, and 75 bushels of newspapers. Enxenisn Sreamers.—The Acadia, ftom Halitax for England, was spoken in lat. 46 08, lon. 4450, on the 22d of August, four daysfrom Halifax ; and the Hibernia, in lat. 46 20, lon. 59, on the 4th Sept., 25 hours from Halifax. Exce..ent Ruies.—For the salety of passengers, the following regulations ought to be strictly adhered to:— 1. No person must stand on the platforms. 2. No person must get out of the carsexcept at such statio he conductors will designate. 3. All directions given by the conductors must be s'rictly observed. Follow these and no lives will be endangered.— Word in time, &c. Extensive Rorsery.—We learn from Adams & Co., that a drover named Tuckerman, had his pocket picked on Saturday evening, in one of the cars on the Worcester Railroad, of $1665. He missed his money at Framingham, and immediate- ly gave notice to the conductors. They suspected a Frenchman, who returned to Boston in an accom- modation train. New Yor Poutce.—Its essential qualities are knavery and impudence. Sunpay.—How different is a New York Sunday from the quiet, unbroken Sabbath of the country.— The one is the constant scene of gay panorama— the other is the hallowed stillness of nature’s wor- ship. inthe former, pleasure is supreme—in the latter, God isthe universal theme.

Kituep sy «CART wHeEL.—On Saturday evening a eo- Jored man named Charles Duaton, a laborer, of 164 Green street, while riding through Canal street, between Centre and Elm street on the cart of Jamea Weeks, accidentally fell off by the sudden starting of the horse, and one of the wheels passed over his breast. — There were four other men on the cart, thus making a pretty heavy Joad, but Danton jumped up, saying he was not much hurt, and resumed his place on the vehicle. On nearinghis home, hejcomp!ained of feeling unwell,and get- ting worse it became necessary to. carry him ‘into the house, where he lingered for afew hours, and died. Se- veral of his ribs were found to be broken,and other inter- nal injuries recerved caused his death. The Coroner held an inquest on the bedy yesterday morning, and the jury found a verdict of accidental death from the above named causes, Literary Notices.

Tue Far West—Tne Rocky Mountatns.—We. aye: iva late number of the Herald, ina notice of Lieut. Fremont’s Report of his expedition to the Rocky Mountains, an extract or two from his jour- nal, Considering the universal interest which has been awakened through the discussion of the Ore- gon question in Congress, through the number of missionaries and emigrants to the borders of the Co- lumbia, and the general desire for all authentic in- formation relating tothe Far West, we are induced to give some further selections trom the narrative of our enterprising officer. Independent of these con- siderations, the romance, the freshness, the chi- valric pastimes of life in the wilderness, will abundantly reward the reader’s perusal. The following is a description of a deserted In- dian village:— We left our camp at seven, journeying along the foot of the hills which border the Kansas valley, generally about three miles wide, and extremely rich. We halted tor dinner,after a march of about thirteen miles, on the banks ofone of the many little tributaries to the Kansas, which look like trenches in the prairie, and are usually well timbered. After crossing this stream, I rode off some miles to the left,attracted by the appearance of a cluster of huts near the mouth ofthe Vermillion. It was a large but deserted Kansas villege, scattered m an open w along the margin of the stream, on a spot chosen with the customary Indian fondness for beauty of scenery. The Pawnees had attacked it in the early spring. Some of the houses were burnt, and ot! blackened with smoke, and weeds were already getting possession of the cleared places. : On the subject of game, he says, p. 13, they met with frequent groves of oak, tenanted by wild tur- keys, the elk were often seen on the hills, and that “now and then an antelope bounded across our path, or a‘deer broke from the groves.” Another item will go toprove that a herd of buffaloes as fre- quently encountered in the great American desert, ee Geren spectacle from an agricultural eattle show. As we were riding slowly this afternoon, clouds of dust in the ravines, among the hills to the right, suddenly attracted our attention, and in few minutes column after column of buffalo came galloping down, making directly tothe river. By the time the leading herds had reached the water, the prairie was darkened with the dense masses. Immediately before us, when the bands first came down into the valley, stretched an unbroken line, the head of which was lost among the river hills on the opposite side, and still they poured down from the ridge onour right. From hill to hill the prairie bottom was certainly not less than two miles wide, and allowing the animals to be ten feet apart, and only ten in a line, there were already -11,000 in view. Some idea may thus be formed of their number when they had occupied the whole plain. Ina short time they surrounded us on ever; side, extending for several m:les in the rear, and forward, as the eye could reach, leaving around us, as we in open space of only two or three hundred . movement of the buffalo indicated tous the nce of Indians on the North fork. . And while we, of New York, were celebrating “ the glorious fourth,” in parading the cweky streets, rejuvinating in the oyster shops, or in drinking root beer (that abominable compound) in the Parl, Lieut Fremont gives this account of his observance of the day: Thalted earlier then usual, about forty miles from the junction, and all hands were soon busily engaged in pre- paring a feast to celebrate the day. The kindness of our iriends at St. Louis had provided us with a large supply ef excellent preserves and rich fruit cake; and when these were edded to a macaroni soup and variously pre- pared dishes of the choicest buflalo meat, crowned with a cup of coffee, and enjoyed with prairie appetite, we felt, os we wat in barbaric luxury around our «moking supper on the grass, a greater sensation of enjoyment than the Roman epicure at his perfumed feast, But most of all it to please onr Indian friends, who, in the untr- strained joyment of the moment, demanded to kaow il our “ Medicine days came olten.” The Lieutenant thus tells of one of those virgin landscapes in the fastneeses of the Rocky Moun- taint:— Here again a eyes. It seem resting prairie we jow of the most romantic beauty met our if, from the vast expanse of uninte- parsed over,nature had collectedjall her beauties together in one chosen place.

The desire to present such a wonderful contrast has induced the manager to re engage them for this week, in addition to which the Fud-ge Mermaid and six performers are all tobe seen for one shilling. Such attractions were never before presented for twice the money. The liberality the manager evinces appears to be well eppreciated by the public, for on Saturday over one thousand persons visited the Museum. 0G- BOWERY AMPHITHEATRE.—The great va- riety of attractions presented in rapid suc leave the pubsic scarce an opportunity of deciding whi is most attractive.

Every man, woman and child should this evening visit the Bowery Amphitheatre. CASTLE GARDEN.—The Exhibition of Fire Works, which hasbeen postponed on two occasions, will come off this evening. If fair weather, it certainly is a more extensive exhibition than has been offered this sea- son, and deserves a good audience. Og. CHALLENGE BOAT RACE.—WONT GIVE IT UP.—Mr. 8.

L Ingersoll, and the latter by William Crolius, und is anew boat. Each of the builders have had the boats at their establishments for more than a week to put them in order. No doubt this will be the most interest- ing boat race that has been got up this season. They have had three races already—Dorlon has won once, and Robertstwice. Derlon intends to make asure thing of it i is the third challenge, and he has given himself great practice for the present contest.

Sunday, Sept. 17-6 P. M. ‘The Havre packet ship Silvie de Grasse, which on Saturday, carried out $191,240 in specie only. ‘Chere is no disposition to send specieto England. In the fall of 1841, up to the 24th of September, near $1,000,000 in spocie had been shipped. Yet thr rate of bills for that packet was as follows, compare’ with present prices :— Sept. 21th, 1941.

The Mexican dollars sent to Havre are not in the regu- lar course of trade. The cause of this difference in the medium of remittance, was owing to the state of the mar kets. From March to Oct., 1841, Cotton fell in Liverpool 2} cts. per Ib. involving large failures in Liverpool, and in most of the Atlantic ports in September, to the extent of $8,000,000; and bills to a large mount came back-— This caused a want of confidence ia bills which the ure of 8. V. 8. Wilder, in this city, converted into a kind of panic. Specie was therefore preferred to the risk of bills, added to which was a great contraction of the ban! This year the case is the reverse. Cotton is ris- ing in Liverpool, and most bills command confidence.— The banks are pusbing out their money at 3 to4 pr. ct, as much as practicable, and a great number of good city endorsed bills may be picked up at &} a9 pret ; although “tip top” bills command the above rates. These are cir cumstances which influence the market in addition to the mere price of bills, in causing the movement of specie: In September, 1841, the U. States loan of $2,500,000, was taken by the Bank of Commerce, and others. Since then with the exception of the other government loans, and of the State of New York, no considerable State loans have been taken. Ohio came into the market last April with a7 pr ct. loan for $1,600,000; at that time the 6 pr ct was at 64, The abundance of money at that time began to affect stock, which soon rapidly rose so as to allow of a portion of the Ohio 7 pr ct. to be taken at par, in antici- pation that the increasing abundance of money would afford a profit to the takers, who also stipulated for the privilege of taking the balance by Oct. prox. at the same rate. Since that period stocks have continued to ad” vance; and the7 pret, hts sold at 4 premium ; conse- quently the remainder has been taken, ‘This is an evi dence, not only of the abundance of money, but of the conviction that the standing of all the States is rising. — Oaio last winter was undoubtedly in a position,which had money continued scarce, would have brought her to the condition of Pennsylvania, This was sufficiently apparent in the price of its stock, as compared with that of New York. ‘The crisis has now passed, and the prosperity of the whole country ig on the rise ; wealth is flowing into the hands of the farmers, and, with the accumulation of that wealth, andthe riso in prices, the burden ofdebt ia daily becoming lighter; confidence in Ohio will become as stable as that of New York. ‘The6 pr ct. of the latter sell at 109}, and the former at 954.
