FIFTEEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. ‘Total tion of the Steam Frigate Missouri---Continued Disturbance in South Wales---Visit of the Queen to the Conti- nent---Hepeal in Ireland---French Atlantic Steam-Ships---Another Advance In Cotton ---Improvement in Trade---Civil War in Spain---Trouble in Europe----Happiness Everywhere. The Acadia arrived at Beston on Tuesday mor- ning. She brought papers from Liverpool and London to the 19th ult. inclusive. We are enabled by the assistance of Harnden & Co., te lay the intelligence before the public at aa early hour. Wheat continues to arrive freely from the Baltic, at London, being no doubt the effect ef orders given when the bad weather prevailed. The Spanish Government are said to have given their patronage to a new line of steamers, about to be established between Havana and Porto Rico. Puseyism is said to have acquired a strong and alarming footing among the professors and other authorities at Eton College. Mr. Cushing, after the destruction of the Missou- ri, embarked on board the Oriental, steam packet, for Alexandria, on the 6th of September, under a salute from the garrison of Gibraltar. The first engineer of the Missouri remains at Gi- braltar for the purpose of saving the engines, or whatever part of her machinery can be recovered. The rest of the officers and crew have taken pas- sage for the United States in the ship Rajah, Capt. Bangs, of Boston, and sailed from Gibraltar on the 3d of September. The Paris Globe states, upon the authority of letters from Marseilles, that the article published as a decree of the Inquisition of Ancona against the Jews, isa fabrication. Political incarcerations have taken place in seve- ral provinces of Austria, Italian as well as German. The persons imprisoned are belonging, or suspected of belonging, to the sect of the communists. The members of this utopian and most anarchial sect are daily increasing throughout Germany, Switzer- land, Tyrol, and the different States of Italy. The French government mail steam packet Dari- an, of 1100 tohs and 600 horse power, was launched a/ Cherbourg on Sunday. This vessel is to form one of the line of French, West India and North American packets. One of the most pleasing as well as remarkable events of the age, is the visit which the young and lovely Queen of England, accompanied by her con- tort, has just been paying to the King of the French, followed by a round of graceful and elegant hospi- talities, in which the royal families of both coun- trieg, their courtiers, and their ministers have join- ed, Those great drawbacks from the personal com- forts of sovereigns, the ostentation, the acting,which their hich social position would seem to demand,did not find. their way to the Chateau d’Eu,where all the parties arse mbled were seen in their natural charac- ters,and where the Crowned Heads more especially appeared divested of all the formality appertaining to royaity. A more happy or a more convivial party, from all the accounts which have transpired re- specting it, could not exist. The high moral charac- ter of both sovereigns, so far from clogging the live- liness of the scene, imparted to it additional ex- uberance and gaiety. As a mere personal inter- change of civilities, and drawing closer in the bonds of amity the representatives of the most powerful and civilized monarchies in the world, the visit 1s an excellent guarantee fer the continuance of friend- ly relations between their respective subjects. Upon the people themselves, especially the French, it can hardly fail to have a beneficial influence. The anti- English feeling has been on the increase in France, but nothing could be devised for arresting it so effectually as this royal visit. The Pa annoyed that the Queen did not go to the metropo- lis, and, all things considered, it isto be regretted that she did not,as her receptionwould have been flat- tering, and the visit then would have become more national. Our little Queen, in the exuberance of her spirits, seems bent upon enjoyment this season. In the beginning of the week she sought again the ele- ment of which she is said to be the mistress, in or- der to pay a visit toher uncle, the King of the Bel- | q, gians. Off Dover, the conquerer of Napoleon,leav- ing his retreat at Walmer Castle, paid a visit to the royal yacht, and was asked to dinner. While in Beigium, the Queen will visit Waterloo, the field on which the destinies of Europe quivered in the balance jittle more than a quarter of a century back; and, as a metropolitan contemporary has remarked, “she will remember that Wellington is her sub- ject.” : The etate of trade in every part of the country is most encouraging. Confidence has revived, foreign orderscome pouring in, money is abundant, the home trade has received an impetus, and what is perha;s better, than all, the harvest, thanks to the lovely weather of the last few weeks, has been got in with safety, and is described as an average one. The non-arrival of the overland mail, which is now more than a fortnight beyond its time, has ex- cited some uneasiness. The delay has occurred on the other side of Suez. The belief at present is, that the steamer has been beaten back by the mon- soon, although there are croakers that contend that worse than this has happened—that she has gone to the bottom. Don Miguel, whose contest for the throne of Por- tugal a few years back, will be in the recollection of many of our readers, appears not te have relin- qiished, the prize for which he so long contended. Almost forgotten in his retirement, he has 1s- sued a proclamation, which shows that the ob- ject which eluded his grasp through the deter- miaed opposition of his brother, Don Pedro, is still near hisheart. In addition to its other misior tunes, it is not improbable that the beggarly coun- try of which Don Miguel isa prince, may be in- volved, ere long, in another contest for the throne. The packet ships and steamers have arrived on the following dates:—Sheffield, Popham, 10th; Li- verpool, Eldridge, 12th; Hibernia, Judkins, 13th ; Great Western, Hosken, 14th; New York, Cropper, 14th and Siddons, Cobb, 18:h September. The U. S. frigate Congrees arrived at Alexandria on the 28th August, from Trieste. Reepecting the supposed incapacity of the Queen to leave her British dominions without the consent of en act of Parliament, we may state that the clause enacting the prohibition was repealed in the first year of George the First. According to the ceneus just completed the popu- lation of Prussia is 15,300,000, The railroad from Venice to Padua is opened to the public for a distancezof eight French leagues. ‘The importation of foreign fruit and vegetables is Tapidly inereesing. No place is left for Oliver Cromwell among the sculptured representatives of the sovereigns of En lan’, who are to adorn the new houses of Parlia- ment. Captain Sir John Ross has just returned from his voyage of exploration to the South Seas. He trans acted business at the Admiralty on the 12th instant, haviog run up to town, leaving his ship at Ports- mouth. The gallant sailor was in excellent health and spirits,and expressed the greatest satisfaction at the result of his voyage. Loss or Tue Sream Frigate Muissourt.—We regret to have to announce the total destruc tion, by fire, of the splerdid American steam-frigate the Missouri, while at anchor ix this bay, on Saturda' week. She had the Hon. Mr. Cushing on board, prncse diBg to Alexandria, en route fer China, as Inister, The alarm was first given at, eight o’clock pre- cisely, and was immediately followed by such a burst of flame from the engineer’s store-room as to lead to the belief that it originated among the oil and spirits. Every exertion was made to subdue and the large pumps were instantly put in operation; but the pregress of the flames was to rapid, that it became necessary to flood the two magazines. which was done so effectually, that it was not until twenty minutes ufter 3 A. M., that any explosion took place, and then not to an extent to endanger the hig ingiin the han the nearest of which had already been removed by the exertions of the act- ing captain of the port, Assistance was premptly sent from.the Malabar, under the personal superin- tendence ot Sir George Sartorius; and the Locust got up her “steam andiran alongside the Missouri, with the view of towing her into deeper water, or rendering any other aid; but, unfortunately, she had already grourded, which rendered it impos- sible to scuttle her. As soon as the fire broke out, the gevernor order- ed the Waterport gate to be opened, and proceeded himself to the wharf, from whence he despatched two engines under charge of the artillery and sap- pers; but in spite of the united efforts of the crew of the Missouri and her friendly auxil‘aries, the pro- gress of the flames, which at one time appeared to be got under, was such, that at length Captain Newton was forced to abandon his ship, after summoning a council of his own officers and those British officers about him, who unanimously decided there was no hope of saving the ship. i The order was then given by Captain Newton for all to quit the ship, which was done immediately by the crew taking the water, and receiving the ready assistance of boats sent, in anticipation of the ex- igency, from_the Malabar and from the vessels in the harbor. Such was the state of the ship, when the officers and crew Jefther, that they saved nothing but what they had on. Captain Newton did net quit the ship until all had left her, about a quarter past 11 o'clock. We are happy to add, that the officers and crew are believed tobe allsaved. His Excellency the American Minister, after se- curing his papers of importance, retured to the ship, and zealously united his exertions to those of her of- ficers. The line wall was crowded until a very late hour with spectators, anxiously watching the fate of the noble ship. The sight was awfully grand; uatil tne masts at length feil overboard, the tracery of her ars and shrouds standing out in bright relict ageiasi ihe dark sky, was beautitul. The who.e rock was as light as day; and probably such a sight has not been witnessed in the bay since the conflagration vt the floating batteries in the memorable siege. We trust it will not be considered presumptuous to refer to the dicipline on board this ill-fated vessel; but, as persons, employed alongside during the pro- gress of the calamity, and on whose veraci'y we can lace the utmost reliance, have been desirous of beating undeniable testimony on this most importunt subject, we beg to inform our readers that they de- scribe the discipline and order on board as most ad mirable; the several orders were given and obeyed as if the} vessel had gbeen in perfect ealety, and nothing had occurred to excite alarm or contusion. — Gibralter Chronicle. [Correspondence London Times.} . _ Caniz, Sept. 1. The splendid new steam-ship Beutinck arrived here from Gibraltar yesterday, contirming the inte!- ligence which had previously reached the consulate, of the total destruction by fire of one of the fine st vessels of which the United States navy could beast The following is the official notification forwarded to her Majesty’s Consul at Cadiz:— “Port of Gibrultar, Aug 27, 1843, _ “The American steam-frigate of war Missouri unfortunately caught fire in the course of the past night, and burnt down to the water’s edge, between the Orange and Montague batteries, in four fathoms ot water; and as it is impossible to remove her now, she having gone to the bottom, and being anchoréd there, all captains of vessels who may enter the bay at night are thus advised, lest it should happen that through bad weather or any other incident the light should be extinguished, which will be fixed over the place where she is sunk. é **W.'1 Hompson, Acting Captain of the Port.” The opportune arrival of the Bentinck enables me to forward full additional particulars. The Nissouri curried twenty-eight guns, and was pierced for forty- sour. She was admirably equipped, and in all re- spectsone of the most perfectly appointed ships in the American navy. The crew was entirely saved turough the active intervention of her Majesty’s teamer Locust, which immediately repaired to the pot, attracted by a spe.tacle of such exiraordinary «nd disastrous brillisacy The burning veseel threw a glare over the entire rock, illuminatingin the midst of the might the various points and batteries, and throwing its reflection over the bay as far as Algesi- ras. The black hull and dark spar€ aod rigging stood out in the midst of the intense giare of hight with a fine but portentous effect, and the roar of the fire was intermingled with the discharge of guns of distress, which soon, however, ceased 1 the despair created by the awful beh f with which the flames increased their ravages, and made al! huinan efforts unavailing. The Locust got up her steam imme- iately, and arrived just in time to rescue the crew from the fate which awaited them. So rapid was the progress of the flime from the moment it burst forth, that by the time the Locust reached her side she had burnt down nearly to the water's edge. The Missouri had on board a very large quantity of gunpowder, und to prevent the dangerous eflects of an explosion, it was judged advisable to scutile her, whien was successfully accomplished without delay, when she immediately disappeared The Missouri was bound for Canton, with the new Ambassador sent from the United States to the Emperor of China, tegether with the gentlemen of his embassy and suite. The Ambassador will thus be compelled either to return to the United States, or to proceed as he best can by an indirect course to his destination. The fire was occasioned by combustion of the large cargo of coal whieh the Missouri was obliged to carry. This combustion had been going on for a considerable time, and upon its discovery a quantity of water was thrown upon the coal, which had the effect of appa- rently extinguishing the flame. But it was, in tact, merely smothered; and upon its breaking out a se- cond time, it was tound to have gained such head that no efforts could arrest its progress. How the fire was first communicated to the mass of coal ha not been ascertained. The fire engines were work ed with great vigor, and other means resoried w to throw a quantity of water oa the flames, but in yain. It commanicated itself rapidly to the remain ing parts of the magnificeot vessel. “By dint of con- eiderable exertions many valuable eff-cts were saved and put on board the Locust, includiag 50,000 dol- laraof specie. The vessel was of immense cap @i ty, her register being of nearly 2000 tons, and her crew was very numerous.

The morning was very fine, and the scene of a very imposing description. Arrived off Dover about three in the afternoon, the Duke o! \ eilington lett his seat at Waimel Castle, embark- edin @ boat, and visited the royal yacht in the offing. The Queen shook hands very cordially with him, and his grace was asked to stay to dinner The Dake left about six o’¢lock, but in landing got a complete drenching trom the heavy sea that was running. On landing ie mounted his horse on the beach, and rode to Waliner Castle, about a mile distant. The royal yacht, and the vessels which accompanied the Queen, remained at anchor all night, and got under way the next morning early. Al three o’clock the same afteraeon, the royal party reached Ostend, where the King of the Belgians was in waiting to receive his roya! guests. iis wucer- tain how long the visit may continue. The Queen’s movements in Belgium have been very rapid, andj the reporters of the London papers who accompany her,record all her movements with tedious minuteness. After visiting Oztend, she pro- ceeded to Bruges, and from thence to Ghent, where she visited every thing worth seeing. She was most enthusiastically received by the people of the Netherlands. She wil return to England in the course of the present week. The new royal yacht is what is termed a “clipper,” and Mr. President Tyler must not feel surprised :i, some fine morning, betore his term ot office expires, he receives u Sistas visit from England’s syirited and sight-see- ing little Queen, Ciinton THE Forgrr.—At Guildhall, London onthe 4th inst, Mr. Doaue, the barrister, aoplied for the liberation on bail of Joha Clinton, the Ame- rican, charged with uttering ‘Treasury aotes of the United States, the endorsement on which had been unlawfully altered. Mr. Doane stated that the noies were like Bank of England notes, payable to bona fide holders. It was first picesd against hie clieat that the name of the payee had been altered from Beeby to Muhlen- berg, and the alteration was pire ts be appa- rent on the face of the notes. ‘This, however, was afterwards admitted to be totaily talxe; no such al- teration had been made; but 1t was said that the third name, in a columa of endorsers on the back of the notes had been extracted, and another name written in. To see this new charge, Mr. Lowndes, a solicitor of New York, was sworn, but all he knew was from hearsay, and did not amount tolegal evidence. The other witness was a merchant from Edinbarah, who swore that he saw the prison- er lodging at New Orleans at a certain date, that he was in the habit of sitting up late, and that his nig- ger boy said he had several kinds of ink, neither of which facts amounted to criminality, either taken together or separately. The evidence being so very slight it was for the Alderman to say whether the prisoner ought to_be kept in close custody from June till Oct., or admitted to bail in such reasonable sums asa foreigner in a foreign country might be expected to obtain. Mr. Mullins (of the firm of Bush & Mullins) op- posed the application. He said Mr Doane had kept out of view the matetial parts of the case. He pro- poret to strengthen it by some new evidence, and y stalling what evide nee he nitimately expected to give. He could show chat Clinton had been con- victed of forgerv, and had suffered eight years im- prixonment in Massachusetts This could not be made evidence on ine present charge, but it showed that the prisoner ought not to ve liberated en light bail as a probably innocent person. He could pro- duce documeuiacy evidence, being depositions made in the United States az to ihe present charge. He proposed to extend the charge from the three notes produced to Mr. Peabody to include the five uttered at the Unioa Bank, so tiat the sum involved was $1600. 1 he prisoner hod been twice convicted of feluny in America. He thought it a material tact that Roe, the ¢ flicer, found at_his lodging two pieces of paper beai ing imitations of the handwriting of diflerent signatures Mr. Oliver Lowades, the American barrister (who has recovered from higsevere illeess), suid some of the imitated siguatures were so good, that he snould have been deceived by them. Mr. Mullins urged that the distance of the United States was a sufficient reason for the delay in pro- curing the attendance of the witnesses. The evi- dence would ultimately show that the prisoner was cognigant of the alterationo! the endorsement when he uttered the eight Treasury notes in London. Mr. Alderman Musgrove, after consulting with Mr Alderman J. Johnson, eaid they thought they should not be justified in admitiing the prisoner to bail, but he mignt apply to a judge to bail him. American State Dests.—The following para- graph is from the City letter of this Morning’s Chronicle. The holders of the stocks of those States of the Union which have committed fraudu- lent bankruptcy, ought to petition our Govern- ment to adopt the plan recommended by Mr. Biddle :— * Weare in daily receipt of communicationsfrom holders of American State Stocks, whose interest isinarreer. It mppears that these parties are de- prived thereby of all income, and they allege tha’ with the grossest bad faith the Arnericans evince the absence of all feeling for the sufleriugs of their creditors, and for theirown houor, These parties express surprise, too, that they do aot experience more sympatiry on the part of the public press, aud that the leading houses who introduced these stocks into the London market, de noi exert themcelvee to obtain justice fromthe delinquent Siates We are certainly not indifferent, for our owu part, w the sufferings of these unfortunate claimants; and we trust that the posing, acetalints are not wanting in their dutyto them. Their principal reliance is on the influence which the opinion of the civilized world must exercise on a most sensitive and aspi- ring people. The Americans will not brook the scorn and rejection ot that world.” Tue Disruasancrs in Sourn Wats —The dis- turbances in South Wales coatinue. On the 5th inst., a body of Rebeccaites, some on horseback and others on foot, went to the town of Lianeily, aud attacked the house of the harbor-master, who, it appears, has rendered himeelf obavxious to some pernecs by rigidly enforcing the rules of the port hey destroyed 8 portion of the house, ,and having made the harbor-master come ont, they ordered him to quit the country in a fortnight. or take the consequences ; after which they fied guns and de- mare At eleven o’clock the same night, the po- ice and military marched to Loughor Common, joined by Capt. Napier, Mr. Dillwyn Llewllin, aud ‘Mr. Moggridge. They saw @ rocket in the air, and heard the firing of guns. and the noise of nearly 100 horses were heard. When the Rebeccaites came opposite the Pontardulais Jin they fired a volley, and then commenced blowing ‘their horns and went to Pontardulais gate, in the very centre of the village. They immediately attacked and broke open the blacksmith’s shop, and tore down the turnpike-gate, a very strong one. Having fiaished, the police commanded them to de- eist. The Rebeccaites fired a volley, and the po- lice fired twice, wounding several ot the Rebecca- ites, and shooting the horse of the leader. A regu lar battle took place, the police capturing six priso- ners, three ol whom are wounded, two severe Japt. Napier’s conduct was deserving the highest praise. While seenring the prisoners the rioters returned with the view of rescuing them, but two magistrates having ridden off for the troops, a party of dragoons from Swansea, who were out on the road, and some of the 76th Foot, arrived, and the Rebeccaites fled. Three of the prisoners have been sent to Carmarthen, and three were brought io here. They were taken in their disguises, with ta- ces blackened; and bonnets and nightgowns on. Since the burning of some corn mows in Llandlo, the farmers have become alarmed, and are endea- vouring to iusure theircorn.

Srram to rae Last a —The Oriental Steam Company hive, it 18 understood, proposed to the East India, Company to undertake the conveyance ot the mails o2 the other side of the Isthraus of Suez as well as on this side, offering to effect im- provements, by which not only considerable public expense would be saved, but a month would be gained in the communications from the United Kingdom to Bombay, and two months in the com mantcation to and from Caleutta. At present, it iv well known, notwithstanding the occasionai post ponements that are made here, the mail from India seldom arrives until alter the outward mail has been despatched, so that a month’s delay usually occur: before the merchants in England can answer their indian correspondents. With respect: tot Caleutte, and other places similarly distant from Bombay, « further inconvenience is felt, for when the mail: arrive there the dawk has almost always departed So generally is this the case, that in fitteen cousec tive months, from January, 1842, there have been only two exceptions. By the improvements pro posed by the Oriental Company, itis said the trans- mission of the mails will be accelerated to that de gree, that thove which leave Bombay on the Ist of « given month will be in London on or before the Is of the month following, while the outward mail will not depart tll the 6h or Sth; and thus ample time will be afforded for the mereuants, not only of London, but of Lancashire and Scotiand, iw an- Swer their letters. At the same time the company lertakes to convey the muils to Bombay in time to insure their arrival at Caleutta before the depar- ture of the dawk with the homeward mails for Eu- rope. Both these projects, it is said, they will bind themselves to execute under heavy penalties. Whether these proposals will be accepted by the East India Company 1sas yet uncertain, but the mer- chants are regarding them with great interest, and a meeting, it is expected, will speedily be convened for the purpose of recommending the plan to the at- tention of the government. . Description or Esrartero.—As Expartero isthe lion of London just now, we may as well tell the reader he is fifty years old, of middle stature, stout- ish build, swarthy complexion, and oval theughtful face. Moreover, he wears a large moustache, and dresses usually in a plain frock coat and military cap. He has all the languor of an invalid, and, in- deed, his healt has been, and is, indifferent.’ He ee @ very few words in English, but converses nently in Freach. He has been strangely moved up and down in the world. The son of a carpenter, or wheelwright, ia La Mancha, he was brought up for the priesthood. “Che invasion of Spain by the French drove him to arms, at the age ot filteen, and he continued a private soldier for some years — Eventuaily, he was placed in one of the military schools, from which, atthe age of twenty-three, he cmerged, with the rank of ensign, Shortly alter this the South American provinces revolted, and King Ferdinand sent an army to reduce them to sub- mission. Expartero obtained a captain’s commis- sion in one of the regiments, and may be said to have learned the art of war iu South America. The revolted provinces established their independence, and Espartero returned to Spain with the reputation of a excellent soldier, the rank of brigadier-general, and a sum of money usually estimated at from £80,000 to £100,000, the fruits of his remarkable success at ihe gaming table. ‘This was in 1824, and soon after he marricc a rich merchaat’s daughter, who retains a covsiderab'e share of personal beauty, and is here now with her husband. In 1883, the Carlist rebellion broke ont, and Espartero declared for Christina and the pr 1 Queen of Spam, then amereciild. He was placed in command of the northern army of Spain. tle so eminently cistin- guished himself, thatin 1836 he was a ted Gen- eralissimo.

He had to fly his couatry and fiad this asylum in England which has always been ailorded to the unfortunate. It is said that Eepartero. resolv ed to be prepared for the worst, put £200,000 in coe English funds two years before, but douvtless there is exaggeration in this.

Alter numerous legal inquiries, Mrs. Gilmour was at length seenred, and she arrived at this port on Monday evening last, in the New York packet ship Liverpoul, in custody of George M'Key, a Scotch officer She was confined in our Bridewell during the night, and at twelve o’clock, on Tuesday, took her departure for Glasgow. She is represented as a fine young woman, not more than twenty-five years of age. . The next bishopric to be erected forthe colonies is that of New Brunswick, and the committee have determined on recommending a clergyman to her Majesty's government, to be consecrated to the gee, as soon as £30,000, the sum required for the endow- ment, shall have been raised. The income of the bishop will be £1200 per annum, but the appoint- ment will be mad# when a clear revenue of £1000 a year shall have been secured. Marriage in High Lire.—Count Esterhazy, son of the Austrian Ambassador in London, and Mdile Mary D’Appony, daughter of the Austrian Ambas sador in Paris, were mariied on Menday, by the Apostolic Nuncio, M. Fornari, Archbishop of Nicea in the chapel attached to his Excellency’s residence Sept. 14, at St. George’s, Hanover square, by the Rev.

Esq. and the late Lady Amelea Sophia Boyce, to Louisa, only daughter of the Right Hon. General Sir George Murray, G C. B. Master General of Ordnance, and the late Lady Louisa Murray. Some sensation has been caused in the beau monde by the report of an alleged criminal intimacy between Lord Cardigan and Lady W. Paget, whose husband hes publisued a letter—the newspapers stating his intention of instituting an investigation into the affair before a court of law. Lord Cardigan has also, ina published letter, denied the truth of the charge. The Limerick Chronicle says:—‘* We understand that Lord Cardigan denies most empha. ueally the charge of dishonor towards Lady P., and says he will show on the trial that there is a fou. censpiracy against him and Lord W. P.

Since that date intelligence will have reached Alexandria anu Trieste ot the improvement in the cotton market in this country, so that the Pasha’s stock will be ihe more readily turned into money, and some portion may robahty find its way into this country, or, if oubtless will into France, and so far tend to eh the weight of the consumption there of American cotton. What with heavy stocks in Egypt, a fair yield in the United States, or perhaps beyond a fair yield,as the mor? aceredited accounts imply, and the crop of 15,000 bales in Texas, that is 50,000 more than last year, there can be no cause to tear a deficient supply of cotton, The late ad- vance of price, moreover, will, as heretotore, bring considerable quantities of the uncleaned cotton, which is always to be found in greater or less abun donce on the coasts of the South American states, where it is oiten left to rot as not worth the expense of the shipinent, except when prices have so ad- vanced in Europe as to make it worth cost of tran- sport and cleaning. Tosacco Trang.—The circulars of Grant and Hodgson, of the Ist of August last and Ist of Sep tember, contain some interesting statistics relative to the condition of the tobacco trade. They state in their first named circular that the very low pri- ces at which two or three houses in the north were selling manufactured goods, samples ef which they had seen, and which thie say, withour hesitation, could not be produced by legitimate trade, had seen the means of inducing ‘a large portion of the Lon don manufacturers to endeavor to fiad a rnied ts Agreat reduction in duty appears to be the chief point contended for, as itis now almost universally admitted that the customs and excise are who'ly in- competent to protect the fair wader. Representa tions and memorials have been presented to the Treasury and excise relative to a modified system of survey. In their last dated cireular, Grant and Hodgson say that they are in the receipt of letters from different parts of the country, representing the very great extent of illicit trade at present car- ried on, and reflecting in very strong terms on the overnment, for not having passed a bill for a modi ied system of survey; the present unprotected state of the tair trader, and the temptation held out to smuggling, by the high rate of duty, appearto be altraciing increasing attention among the manuiac- turers in ‘own and country. From our London Correspondent. Lonvon, Sept. 13, 1843 Dear Sin— Although the news by this steamer is not very im portant, there are yet many litle items worthy of being brought under the especial notice of your rea- ders. The internai state of Ireland and Wales is still most unsettied. Rebecea aud her daughters in Wales, and O'Connell leading on his host of “* gal- tant repealers,” have yet shown no sign of retiring peaceably into private lite. Tris evident, however, that the present state of atlairs cannot !ong continue, and that the measures of conciliativa hitherto wise ly adopted by government, will at no dictant day end ia the bringing to justice a set of disaffected in cendiaries, whose doings, without menacing to any extent the peace of the empire, have now combined long enough to exeite the indignation of her Ma- jesty’s loyal subjects. Last week the Welsh insur gents had a rencoutre with the police at Pontardu lais, when several of the former were wounded and taken prisoners, the leader of the party himself be ing among the number, In Ireland the Agitator is proceeding to organise the great ‘Repeal! Parlia- ment,” and already his deluded followers are ma- king a scramble with each other for the high honor of a seat in that august assembly. It is reported that he expects to pocket £30,000 by this echeme— the depositing of £100 inthe funds being the quali- fication of membership, ad the association being intended to consist of 300 members Applications are daily received from persons ambitious ut becom- ing memersof this council of 300, but there seems no disposition on the part of applicants to down with the dust—the £100 fee from each is a sticker (on Sunday last week, a repeal meeting was ieid al Longhrea, in the county of Galway. About 12,000 were present—though the repeal papers as usual quadruple the number—and those generally consist ing of the very ‘lowest classes of the people. In- deed the scarcity of attendance of persona of tie higher and middie ranks at these wretched displays, is remarkabie and instructive. Such is the state of things within the limits of our empire at home Her Majesty is still gadding about on plese bent, and, like a liberated caged bird, seeme! joy her freedom amazingly. No sooner had sh re turned from her short and pleasant trip to N.r- mandy, than away she hies again in her new s'eat yatch to Ostend, on a visit to the King and Queer of the Belgians. There she still remains, although she talks of leaving Brussels to-morrow or next day to settle down once more in quiet aad seclusion at Walmer castle. The Times of this morning has « witty leading article upon the subject of her Majes- ty’s peregrinations. The London correspondents of some of the first journals, in dearth oi other matter, have drawn a very startling picture of Sir Robert Peel’s present state of health, and have significantly tatimated that he is laboring wider some chronic disease which threatens fatal results. There is not the slightest foundation for these gloomy anne unce ments. The Right Hon. Baronet certainly appear ed, when I saw him last, much harrassed by the great physical and mental labor which he must have endured during the late parliamentary session ; but beyond that, from whieh a little relaxation will soon restore him, his health is in no degree aflected The recent very disastrous accounts which have been received from Australia, which would almost lead to the supposition of all the colonies being in « state of bankruptcy, has given quite a check to emi gration in that quarter. Those parties, therefore, who are desirous of settling themselves in other lands are now turning their eyes westward. There has been for sometime past a considerable emigra ton to America going on from this pert. The emi- grants are chiefly of the better class, very few steerage passengers being amongst the number. 1: appears from a parliamentary return just issued, thet since 1825. 532,993 emigrants have lett the kingdom Since 1853, the average has been three times the rate of the seven years previous to that year. Accounts of several melancholy shipwrecks have been received in London during the past week The Regular Indiaman was wrecked in July, on her outward passege to Bombay—passengers and crew saved. She sprung a leak, and just before she wentdown the long boats were resorted to, and providentialiy fell in with the French frigats Cleopatra The Queen Victoria Indiaman struck ona reef of rocks, at Rodriguez, on her homeward vassage, onthe 7th April, and became a total wreck leven lives were lost in the attempt to reach the shore.

Mrs. Gilmour, the woman charged with murder- ing her husband in Scotland by poison, and about whom so much has appeared jin ihe United States papers, has arrived in this country, havig been given up by the American goverament for trial. The Advocate of Scotland has been return- posed, for Argylshire. The King of Hano- returned to his own kingdom, where he wow better received by his subjects than he was while in England. The Emperor ot Russia, on the proposition of the Senate, has issued an ukase estab- lishing an uniform postage throughout Russia and the Grand Duchy of Finland, no matter what the distance may be, so that henceforward the tax on letters will vary in charge only according to weight, Other continental nations besides France and Rus- sia, also resolved toreduce their postage rates, The celebrated Duke of Normandy has been pas- sing throug the insoiven’ debtors’ court. His debts were stated to be £5,000,and on the credit side, a! ter putting down large estates of immense value in France, “inherited in virtue of his mother, Marie Antoinette,” there is this item—* All vy right and interest to the throne of France as the lawtul son and heir of Louis XVI, late King of France.” It is believed thatthe Duke intends shortly to make an appeal to the benevolence of the British public. Doncaster races, which occupied the past week, seem to have taken in some of the knowing ones, who backed the favorites freely for the great St. egersiakes, which was won by Mr. Wrathers?

This is the third contract for 100,000 gallons since the commencement of the present year, The market for American provisions may be cal- led generally very dull, with the exception of hams and lard. Considerable sales of potashes were made at Glasgow last week at rather lower rates, but latterly the value has been recovered: pot 243 6u to 25s., and pearl 253. 6d to 26s. i ‘The quick voyage out and home made by the Hibernia, beating the Great Western both ways, has addea much o her celebrity. She is one of the fastest of the mail boaw. The Great Western, however, labored under disadvantage in having bad coai, from which little or no steam could be got. We are still without the Indian mail, overdue nearly three weeks, Some casualty, it 19 feared, has Occurred to the steamer between Suez and Bombay, as she had to face the monsoon. Ar- jfangements are making for a more certain snd speedy conveyance of the overland mail. The news trow Spain is of the most melancholy character, A new era of crime and disorder ap: eats io be openiog in that country. The savage xecute rderea by Narvaez have excited the deepest indignatron among the inhabitants of Ma- rid, and a counter revolution has broken out at Barcelona and Seville, with every appearance of being joined in by the cities of Cadiz and Garrago- ua. Frem what is passing, there is no knowin how matiers wiii toraunate,probably in the recall o! Espartero. O} oa result, however, there can be no doubt, and that is that the rule of the existing sovernment Will Cenee 80 8000 a3 the Cortes meet. Ir is said that in codasequerce of the fi vorable recep. ton givea to Espartere in this country, the Provie sional Government at Madrid intend to transmit a diplomatic note on the subject to the Brith Cabi~ net Mr. Pakenham,the Engiish Minister in Mexico, Lord Mahon, Mr Herry Bulwer and Mr H. Ellis, are all spoken of as likely to succeed Mr. Aston at Madrid. Ireland, Mr. O’Connell keeps the ball of agitation moving with ondiminished vigor, notwiths:aocing the pro- rogation ot Parhament. He hed another monster meeting at Loughrea on Sunday the 10th, which, as regards numbers, was hardly interior, if the great agiator himsclf 1s to be eredited, to any that have zone before According to nis testimony, there were no less than 10 000 horsemen present at this repeal gathering Te p.ceredings were a good deal damped by the heavy rains which fell during he greater part of the day. Mr. O'Connell was obliged to address his drenched hearers with an umbrella over his head, but he comforted them by the assurance thatthe “rain fell alike onthe just and on the unjust.” After the meeting a dinner cook place,at which Dr. M’Hale and other dignita- ries of the Roman Catholic Church were present. The speeches were of uo ordinary kind; those of Mr. “Connell, for he made two,related chiefly to denun- ciations of the Queen’s speech, which he still treat- das the speech of the Ministry--it has had a ten- denev, he said, to deaden the feeling of attachment vorch the Irish people entertained tor the person of he Queen. The proceedings at the Corn Exchange ‘ave not possessed more than the average interest. Money continues to roll in from America. Last week £500, which had been collected in Pennsyl- vauia, was paid in, and a letter from Mr.John Tyler, on of the President, expressed sympathy with the Repeal movement, was ordered to be entered on ‘he journals of the association, and a cttul an- <wer returned. Mr. O'Connell has been busily em- ployed in blackguarding Mr. Bennett, of the New York Herald, whom he has follewed up with a male- volence almost fiendish. The Kepeal agitation has crossed the channel this week with very indifferent success. Having accepted an invitation from the Repealers of Liver- pool, Mr. Daniel O’Conaell, jun., and a bevy ot the Gorn Exchange hangers on, arrived here on Tues- day, andin the evening proceeded to the Amphi- ‘heatre, where the meeting was announced to take place. Mr. O’Connell’s son having addressed the as- emblage, a general row took place. A party ot Or- angemen, armed with bludgeons, gained access to the meeting, and acting simultaneously,they rushed at agiven signal upon the Repealera,whom they bela- bored lustily with their weapons. The party assailed, stunned tora moment, turned upon their opponents, and for nearly half an hour the lower part of the circus presente . a scene ot the most brutalizing cha- racter. Broken heads and limbs, and faces, in which searcely a lineament of the human counte- nance was visible, attested the fury of eo and the punishment with which it was visited. The assailed and assailers were Mr. O'Conneii’s coun- irymen—a strking proot of the unanimity which prevails amongst Irishmen on the subject ot the Re- peal of the Union! In the Dublin Town Council, the other day, an extraordinary jetter was read trom Mr_ Ross Cox, giving an account of his pursuit of Finn, the ab- -conding treasurer. It appears that he followed him from Liverpool to America, and was then in- duced, by the representations ot the police there, to set off after him some thousands of miles up the Mississippi, the Ohio, over Lake Champlain, and up the Ontario, narrowly escaping being hed over he falls and blown up by steamboat explosions,and irriving at every place just as Mr. Finn had lett. He attributes tie failure of his mission to the publi- sation of it in the papers, which arrived out there as soon as himself. Lt was a wild geose chase. France.
