The manager of the Carlisle Bank has absconded, having overdrawn his own account with the con- cern £2,554, the whole of which sum is, however, covered by his securities In Britain, 1500 miles of railway have cost Forty millions, or £26,000 per mile ; while in Bel- gium, 350 mies have cost five millions, or £14,000 per mile ; and in America, 6000 miles have been laid down for twenty-seven millions, equal to an average of £4500. A deputation, consisting of all the Pre ant te- peatry on the estate, county of Longford, waited on Lord Lorton Jast week, for the purpose of surrender- ing up their arms.

Two English Quakers, Alexander and Wiflen, had arrived at Copenhagen, to convince the Danish government of the expediency to abolish slavery in the Danish West India Islands. The National German Gazette of the 9th inst., announces that a new conspiracy had been disco- vered at Warsaw, and that more than one hundred persons had been arrested. The Frankfort Journal states that the King of Prussia has written an autograph letter inviting Queen Victoria and her consort to extend their visit on the continent to Berlin. Whether the invitation has been accepted, or whether it has been really given, is not known. Brussexs, Sept. 18.—The German journals an- nounce that the Diet has decided not to enact any new measures against the press, in consequence of the engagement entered into by the States interest- ed, to check the licentiousness of the journals which abuse the little liberty which is still left them. Exgcurion oF 4 Curistian at ConstantinorLt.— Constantrnopie, Aug. 23.—A short distance from where I am now writing lies the headless trunk of a man who has just been decapitated for no other crime than that of professiag the faith of nearly the whole of Europe. He was an Armenian by birth, and after arriving at the age of manhood, in an evil hour, underthe influence of too much strong drink, as it issaid, he renounced his religion and became a Musselman. i He had no sooner recovered possession of his mind than he saw_ the madness of the step he had taken, and embracing the first opportunity he fled to Greece. How long he remained there I do not know ; but, assuming the European dress he return- ed to this city, where he was soon recognized, and thrown into prison. Every effort was made by threats and promises to induce him to return to the faith of the false prophet, but in vain. He was. on several different oceasions, led out in chains to dif- ferent parts of the city, for execution, and with the sword of the executioner drawn over his head, he was required to renounce the Christian! religion and believe in Mahommed ; but he resolutely persisted in declaring that he was ready to die rather than deny Christ. 4 On each eccasion he was remanded to prigon, and some say that torture was there used to effect what the threat of instant death could not. To-day however the victim of Mahommedan fanaticism re- eeived the crown of martyrdom, in the midst of one of the most frequented streets of the city. And, as if with the express intention of throwing all possi- ble indignity on the name of Christian, and on the Christian governments of the world, he was execu- ted in his European dress, and after decapitation the head, with a Frank cap upon it, was placed be- tween the legs. itis a public and most outrageous insult upon all Christian nations. Every European here feels the indignity, but yet no one seems to know what is the proper remedy. It is currently reported that previ- ous to this inhuman murder, Both the Russian and English ambassadors made strong remonstrances to the Government against the anticipated act of bar-+ barism,butwithout the slightest effect. The onlyreply was that this is a matter of religion, which it belongs to the Shekh Islam to manage, and that the Go- vernment could not interfere. 1 do not vouch for the truth of this story, although everybody here be- lieves it. France. The Moniteur publishes a report, addressed by Vice Admiral de Mackau to the King, giving to his Majesty an account of the situation of the Depart- ment of the Marine, and demanding an extraordi- nary credit,fintended to cover unforseen expenses. The Minister exposed that the budget of 1843 only provided for 164 vessels—namely, 140 armed, 22 laid up in ordinary, and 2 in commission, whilst the ef- fective force was still 207, 192 of which are armed, instead of 140. He then observes, that a mature examination had demonstrated to him, that if any reductions were possible,they should be very limited. “In that respect, I should not,” he says, “in any case propose to your Majesty to reduce the number of armed vessels. 1 consider their maintenance in actice service, and as much as possible their forma- tion into squadrons, as a condition necessary for placing the country in possession of a rea! naval orce. A long experience of the past, and my own oan observations during my recent residence at ‘oulon, induce me to set a very great importance ou preserving entire the armament collected in the Mediterranean.” He then proceeds to siate, that the construction and armament of the 18 transatlantic steam-pack- ets, which were to be completed in 1843, would ex- ceed the appropriations ef the budget (28,400,000 ) by 2,046,000 franes; that two iron steamers now in progress of construction for the navigation of the enegal River, and the protection of French inter- in that quarter, would cost 240,000f; and he re- capitulated a number of other iterns amounting to- gether to 13,163,000. which would be indispensable in order te balance the receipts and expenditure of the Marine Department; but, the Minister adds,that he would be satisfied for ihe present with a credit of 6,256,0001., which he proposes to the King to au- thorise him to open for 1843, during the recess of the Chambers. His Majesty acceded to the de- mand, by an ordinance dated St. Cloud, 16th inst. Among the items enumerated by Admiral de Mac- kau is one of 1,700,001, for the mission to China, which isto consist of two frigates and three cor- vettes. : Spain, The Constitutionne! of Barcelona of the 10th inst states, that in the evening of the Sth there was an alert, occasioned by a report that the garrison of the citadel intended to make a sortie. The drummers immediately beat to arms, and in an instant, the Miliuans were all at their posts. The enemy, how- ever, did not venture out of the citadel. Colonel Martell, accompanied by his Aide-de- Camp, Febres, a well knowa republican, andjan es- cortot mounted National Guards, entered Barce- Jona on the 9h, at 1 o'clock P.M. The people, from the gate of San Antonio to the Place of San Jaine, cheered him with loud vivas in favor of the Central Junta. Oa reaching the equare, Colonel Marteil, who commanded one of the divisions of Ametler’s expeditionary corps, addressed a warm allocutionto the 3d battalion of volunteers, who had taken arms to receive him. A banquet was then ofleredto him by the Junta at the Hotel of the Four Nations, and enthusiastic toastsin honor of the Central Junta were given. After dinner, Martell appeared at the balcony, which looks on the Rambla, and addressed the people as followe:— “* Barerlonege, union is impossible with the enemies of liberty. They wish to tyrannize over us, and we can enter into no compact with despots. Let honest men uniie, and liberty is secure. Viva the Central Junta, the constitutional Queen Isabella Il, and the sovereign people!” These tew words were received with unanimous applause Martell, who was ene of the newly appointed Members of the Junta, leit on the same evening with two of bis colleagues, to confer with Brigadier Narciso Ametier, who had arrived at Sans with seven batialions. received Col. The latter, it appears, had badl Prim, who had repaired to Martorell tect bint on his passage through that town. The roovs of Ametler consisted of free battalions raised Barcelona and Girona, and of mobilized national imlitia of the former, so that the insurgents had been considerably reinforced by their accession On the 10th, at 6 o'clock in the morning, Ametler arrived at Molins del Rey, and entered Burceiona in the atternoon ‘The Moderados circulated reports through the pro- vince that Barcelona had been delivered up to plun= der and anarchy, This was untrue. Some manu- factories were closed, but others were open, and that of M. Raman Nogues, one of the most impor- tant, was at full work.

A battalion of the militia of Mataro and a de- tsehment from San Marti had entered Barcelona. On the other hand, the militia of Igualada and other districts, who had responded to the appeal of Prim and repaired to Gracia, had returned to their homes Abdon Terrades, former alcalde of Figueras hay- ing escaped from Toulouse had succeeded in making his way into Catalonia he Junta of Girona in- tended to appoint him one of its members. ‘The proclamation of the 1 a of Figueras de- manding the convocation of a central Junta, was drawn up in a republican spirit, and all the delegates utio be returned tothe provincial junta be onged he democratte party ‘nvelligence from Madrid to the 12th instant,shows that the government are anticipating the capital.

No ones to retain any arms of any deseription without a license from the proper authorities, and thoze parties whe already have licenses for that purpose, are to get them rée- newed within eight days. The political chief, in apprehension of some disturbance on the 16th, the first day of the elections, had published another pro- clamation, ecalliog on the electors not to be led away by party feelings, or the persuasions of ill-dis- posed persons, but to give their votes only atter ma- ture deliberation to those candidates whom they believe will have no other object in view than the peace, tranquillity, and future welfare of the coun- try. by doing this, they will render themselves worthy of the title of the defenders of the holy cause of liberty, Later accounts, which come up to the 16th, state, that the electionsat Madrid began on that day. The opposition had gained seven ot the bureaus out of twelve, but the total of the suflrages on the first day were in favor of the Parliamentary party. Madrid was tranquil on the 16th. According to the latest intelligence received,the other provinces were tran- quil, with the exception of Catalorii The Gazette distinctly contradicts the report that the Government had demanded the assistance and intervention of Fra ice. The Three-per-Cents were done at 22} at 60 days, and the Five-per-Cents at 297-8 with the 13 coupons, and at 203 with the 5, at 60 days. Italy. ss Botoana, Sept. 8—We are here again in a state of agitation. Some time since the Government an- nounced that the ar wis were beaten and dis- persed ; but, on the 3rd, it was ascertained that they had re-assembled in the mountains of Calde- rind, Savigno, and Vergavo,§where they had shown themselves towards the beginning uf August, and from which they then returned, in order to throw themselves into the Romagna. {tis said the govern- ment have made propositions to the chiets of these. guerillas to give them passports to foreign countries > and to their followers, to allow them to return to their homes, only requiring that they should remain under the surveillance of the police. It appears that these proposals have not been accepted, and that the guerillas have returned to their former po- sition, where they have a great number of parti- sans. The letters received trom Rome are not of a more tranquilizing description. Revolutionary pro- clamations to a great extent have been distributed ameng the people. We are assured that the Cardi- nal Toffi, the treasurer, has tendered his resignation, but that it has not been accepted by the Pope. Narrks, Sept. 9.—Yesterday the fete of the Ma- donnafdi Piedigrotta was celebrated. There was no disturbances, but the goveriment arrrested sev- eral persons, in {ear of amovement. It was said at Naples that two guerillas had shown themselves in the Abruzzi, and that four battalions were about to be sent into the province. Markets, Lonpon Money Mauxet.—The transactions in British securities have not been to any great extent, since the sailing ofthe Boston steamer, but the market has gradu: ally assumed a firmer tone. and of late the purchases have proved rather larger, at higher prices than those last quoted. Consols for immediate transier are about 95 to 954, and for time the same. Exchequer Bills are 628. to 648 premium ; and East India Bonds, 60 premiuin. The new three anda half per cents bring 102 to 102}. Nomi- naliy Bank and India Stocks are held for fuller rates, The committee of Spanish and American bondholders applied for and obtained from Messrs. Lizardi & Co.,a state- meat showing the total amount of remittances forthe Mex- ican dividends, and the appropriation of the same, and re- solved on writing a letter to those gentlemen on the mat- ter. They met on Thursday to receive an answer, and determined on publishing the correspondence : it has not, however, nepeered as yet, nor have they thought proper tocalla public meeting of the bondholders. There are various rumors float as to the course intended to be adopt- ed with ‘ard to the ofler (now advertised) of 10s in the pound on the October dividend, and one-third in cash on on the last April dividend. No attempt to issue the New Bonds has been made, and the dealers have determined to resist their delivery; in which case, the matter will come before the committee of the Stock Exchange, who have not as yetjinterfered inthe matter. Inthe meantime, the market is rather better for this stock, which is quoted at 34—Deferred 9} a §; other South America stocks are also more noticed. Coiumbian has met a readier sale, and Peruvians have been sold at higher prices. Nothing of importance has teken place in Spanish.

Cony Exenancr, Friday, Sept. 22.—The duty on foreign wheat has ced to 17s on rye to 9s 6d per quarter, and on flour to 10824 per barrel; on Colonial wheat to 4s,rye ls, beans 2s per quarter, and on flour to 28 6d per barrel. Since our last report, several parcels of new wheat have appeared daily from Ireland, but of flour and oatmeal the receipts are small, whilst of other articles thence, or of any coastwige, the supplies are scarcely worth notice; end beyond 2,712 quarters of wheat from Danzig, the arrivals from ‘abroad trtvial. g generally in the ‘74 market until to- les, during that pe hibiting a tendency to im- which by ‘the proceedings on our Corn xchange this morning, has been in some degree confirmed. fris! and useful qualities of foreign rel wheats, meeting arather lively inquiry as invest- ments, resulted in transactions to ateir extent for that purpose at an advance of 1d to 2d per 70ip., and the latter description, in particular cases, rather exceeded this amendment ; trom the millers and dealers, however, the demand was rather limited, and the few samples ef far- mers’ wheat offering to-day were very little dearer’than on Tuesday. English and Irish Flour was in moderate request, and though not readily obtainable, was held at an improvement of 1s per sack ; in Foreign, little or no- thing doing to-day. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Peas con- tinue to be neglected, and were nominally somewhat de. pressed in value.

The weather here is still exceedingly fine, and our reports trom the late districts in the north are, on this point, equally fa- vorable. Livenroot Manxers, Sept. 23.—Asnes—The market is very firm for Montreal pearls, which have advanced to 27s 6d, and there is a regular demand for pots at 25s per owt. Corton, Sept. 22.—-For several weeks past we have had large spec ive enquiry for cotton,but it has consider- ly diminished within the past few days, without any apparent cause, except the absence of further stimulating advices from the United States. The non-arrival of the Overland Mail has tended to produce some inactivity in that portion of the Manchester trade connected more im- mediately with the East Indies and China, but the gene- ral aspect of that market 1s firm and healthy. ‘The sales of the past ten weeks exhibit an average of 97,400 bales taken each week for home consumption, from which it may be inferred that spinners are tolarably well stocked; they have, however, continued to purchase to a good ex- tent, and with much, confidence, since our previous re. port; the demand hig been fairly met by holders, at stea dy prices. In Sura® no change is apparent, but Brazil and Egyptian are jdper ib higher. Sea Islands are 4d to 1d per 1b dearer, aGeording to quality.

From several counties, however, and particularly on the east coast of England, the reports are, we regret, 80 far very unfavee rable as to the yield of wheat per acre, whilst in the cir- cle around us, the farmers in any respect seem to have little cause for complaint. The duty on foreign wheat has advanced to 174, on rye to 95 6d per quarter, and on flour to 10s 24d per terrel ; on colonial wheat to 1s, rye, 1a, beans, 2s per quarter, and on flour to 98 6d per barrel, From the Ist to the 14th there were taken from bond here 39,365 quarters wheat at 14s per quarter duty. The fo. “ign arrivals since this day week have consisted mostly 23 quarters wheat from the north of Europe, and 9 barrels of flour from the United States. At Tuesday's market there was a fairdemand for fo reign wheat, at an improvement of 2d to 3d per 70lbs on the rates of that day se’nnight : and yesterday a rather lively inquiry for Irish and useful qualities of forei resulted in transsctions to a fair advence of idt in particular from the millers ax ent for speculative Qd per 701. and the lat rath amendment the demand w ited, and the few samples of famers wheat offer © very little dearer.

Tallow—The continuance of fine weather has checked the demand for Tallow, but prices continue firm at 43s for Petersburgh Yellow Candle, and 42s for New York. South American is very scarce and much inquired for at pre- sent. Tar—No sales to report in American. 600 bbls of Stook- holm bave brought 128 8d. Tobacco--Our tobacco market has had a quiet as; this week; some Kentucky leaf has been taken for Africa but the sales have not altogether exceeded 100 bhds.— There is no sampling going forward except on Kentucky poi is rather lower; prices of other sorts remain steady. Turpentine—This article has advanced censiderab): this week, 7s has been obtained for 1,000 bbls, and a simi- lar quantity was sold previously at 68 9d. State oF Traps-—Bracxsurn.—The demand for fine and fancy cambrics has been good, and prices generally have improved somewhat within the past fertnight. Mouss)n de laines are also in request, at firm rates. Plain and figured jacconets meet with a good inquiry, andare 41 to 5d higher than they were on fis day month. The stocks of cotton goods are low, and the market is decidedly firm. Yarns, likewise remain steady, spinners refusing to contract, except at an advance of fd per lb. Operatives are fully employed, and hand loom weavers have obtained an amendment ef 4d to 6d per piece, and on low sorts 1d to 2d per piece. % Leicxster.—In wools there has been decidedly more doing during the past week, and prices are very firm.— For Yarns the demand has slightly sluckened, owing to the frames not having been fully occupied this week, in fholiday making ; but pric reasonoble prospect of a geod amount of business. Some American orders have been received, and the accounts from that country are favorable. The general trade is tolerably brisk, though there is no im- provement in prices. Mancraster —We have had more inquiries for cloth this woek, and the tendency shown last {week to lower rates has nearly, if not altogether disappeared. ‘There is rge business doing in the home tra ce the late harvest, so long doubtful, has been so satisfactorily re- alised. There has been more demand for 9Sths and 5.4ths, and if any thingthe manufacturer has the advan tage. This branch of the trade will no doubt be brisk when the India and China ms bid again appear, but which is not generally expected to be the case till the arrival of the mai Domestics are in fair demand, and are firmer in price, though{not actually dearer. Our calico printers are very busy both on Mexican and the United States ac- counts, to which must be added a good and brisk home trade. ‘Twist is fully as dear as on thisday week, and when it is considered that but little is shipping !for India, &c.. the trade must be unusually healthy. The chief exports are to Germany, Austria, and Russia, , Sept. 12.—Since our report ofthis day week perienced a good inquiry for Cotton, but prices,though quite firm, remain as previously quoted; re firm, and there appea 1,200 bales United ites, and 180 East India have met with buyers. In Rice nothing of the least importance has taken place, and Pot Ashes are quite neglected. No change i rent in our Coffee market; the sales of the ave consisted of 150 bags, amongst which 8 Brazil, viz :—350 bags ordinary to yellow. ish Java at 224, 23, 24} to 26} cents; 500 ordinary St. Do- mingo at 19} to 194, and Brazil of different qualities at 16} to 20}cents. The demand for unrefined Sugar was less animated than the jing week; prices, however, re- meined thesame. The business done amounted to only 500 boxes baad Havannah at 12} to 14flin bond, and 30 hhds of which the price did not transpire. Hamaune, Sept 15.—Our Cotton Market has a firm feel- ing, but in consequence of holders asking higher prices the transactions during the past week were on a limited seale. About 1200 bags New Orleans were sold at 4 to 4} per lb. Rice—Of 4000 bags Javaoffered by auction yes terday,only 900 were disposed of at 2.

Hayne, Sept. 21—The news received via Liverpool by the Hibernia and Great Western, though deemed favor- able to holders, had not influenced our Cotton market in any degree, but prices altogether remain firm. Several transactions have taken place in Pot Ashes, at 38f29c, and some soles have been effected in Pearls at 44f. Whale- bone is selling at 8{10. The American Tariff tends very much to limit the export trade, and freights are conse- quently scarce; indeed, business generally, wears a dull aspect. Manseiuies, Sept. 11—Our Market is quite bare of Cot- ton, but the improvement in the English markets has not extended toours. In Sugar, 445 boxes yellow Havannah have realized nd 300 ditto 28f killograms in bond. Coffee, on the whole, is dull; and the sales of the last week were confined to 445 bags Havannah at 50fper 60 killograms in bend, with discount, and 100 bags Rio at 40f with 18 percent discount. . —_—— Duty on Frour Importrap into New Grenapa.— From an official publication at the seat of our Gen- eral Government, dated “ Department of State, Washington, Oct..6, 1844,” we learn that information has been received at the Department from F.W.

Oxyecrs or Iris Rerzat —Amongst the sub- jects discussed at a recent meeting of the Repeal Association in Dublin, was a resolution to the effect that they would py no vent, county cess, rent charges tithe, poor rate, or any other charge, out efland, until, amongst other things, they obtained “a valu- ation and perpetuity of his farm to the tenant.” With these views in Ireland, and the dispossession of the Southerners of their slaves in America, the objects ofthe Repealers must be admitted to be tolerably extensive and radical. It does not appear, how- ever, that every county in Ireland partakes of the spirit which is exhibited in the Dublin Corn Ex- change. Mr. John O’Connell, son of the Libera- tor, said recently of the County of Carlow, tha, “that county was, with some few exceptions, a blank in the map of Ireland, there being only two or three localities in it from which they received contributions, and the cause of repeal generally having made scareely any progress in it.” The prompt payment of “the rent,” then, is the test of the existence of a county in Ireland, a proposition which is not more absurd than are some of the ob- jects which the Repealers propose to accomplish. But so log as moral evil exists in the world, there will ever be found men ready to propoand the most visionary correctives, and ignorance and political de- magoguism are alike promotive of visionary ag ita- tion. There is, notwithstanding, much of the prin- ciple of the freebooter in the proposition to extoft for the tenant a perpetuity of his farm; but such an extreme remedy will fail to correct the natural evils which exist. No state of seciety can be perfect, nor can fraud or palpable robbery improve that which is imperfect. The Destruction of the Missourl. Mr. Cushing, the American Minister to China, who went out in the ill-fated Missouri, has made a report to the Secretary of State of the destruction of that vessel, and has also transmitted copies of a correspondence. which passed between him and the Governor of Gibraltar, and Vice Admiral Sir George Sartorius, of H. B. M. ship Malabar, in re- lation to the exertions which they made to reader services to our countrymen in their emergency. Mr. Cushing’s letter to Mr. Upshur details the main facts, as they were reported by Captain Newton ; he also bears evidence of the energy, skill, and un- shaken courage of Captain Newton, his officers and crew, and then says :— I beg leave, also, to ask your attention to the fact of the zealous co-operation of the British authorities at Gibraltar in the attempt to subdue the flames, and in the cue of the ship’s company from the pee ship; as, ,to the fact of the promptitude and cordi hich ve displayed in proftering all possible a: the: to af ain Newton and to myselt. iE Sir Robert Wilson, the Governor of Gibraltar, on re- ceiving intelligence of the fire, immediately repaired to the Mole, and remained there, himself superintending in person the despatch of boats end fire engines from the shore tothe Missouri, and effording all assistance in his power, as occasion offered, until he had ascertained that the whole of the ship’s company had been taken oft. H. B. M. line of battle ship Malabar, commanded by Captain Sir George Sartorius, who is also a Vice Admiral in the Portuguese Navy, was the only man ol-war, except the Missouri, happening at the time to be in the bay of Gibraltar. Sir George Sartorius promptly repaired to the Missouri with a portion of his officers and men, in person, aided Captain Newton and his officers and crew in strug- gling against the fire and taking off the men, and hospi- tably received a large part of them on board the Malabar, until Captain Newton could make arrangements for their permanent accommodation elsewhere. Since which, Sir Geerge Sartorius has, also, freely offered Captain New- ton to furnish him slops, supplies, or any thing else of use to him, from the British government stores. In all these acts of hospitality and sympathy on the part of the officers ef the British Government here, I ought to add that the proffer was mude to me of providing for mea assage to Alexandria at once in a public ship, which of- Ker, of course 1 respectfully declined. i In view of so much hearty ana important assistance of- forded or tendered to Captain Newton and myself by the cflicers of H, B. M. here, it appeared to me to be proper, and an act of public duty on my part, to make to Sir Robert Wilson and to Sir George Sartorious, an official acknow- Iedgment for acts performed by them’of succor, not to in- dividuals merely as such, but.also, as officers and ser- vants of the Government of the United Stats subjoin copies of the correspondence w: tween myself and these gentlemen respectively. ‘While thus making known to you the friendly played on this occasion by the officers of H. B. M. here, I ought not to omit to speak of the zealous and incessant exertions of Mr. Sprague, the eminently respectable and excellent consulof the United States, at Gibralter, who not only exerted himself to the utmost, officially and indi vidually, onthe night of the 26th instant, but who has de- dicated’ whole time to the task of alleviating the per- sonal rtunes of his countrymen, and energetically co-operating with Captain Newtoz in the care of the pub- lic property remaining on the wreck of the Missouri, and inthe preperation of sseans for the relief of the officers and crew, and their restoration to the United States. I cannot commend too highly the deportment of Mr. Sprague on this occasion; and his general character and social stand- ing are such as to enable him to subserve in the most ef- fectual manner the interests of his government. Thave to add that I have taken for Alexandria in the steam packet ‘‘ Oriental,” which conveys the mail from England to Egypt, and by which means I shall reach my destination at the same time I should have done if the Missouri had continued her voyage up the Mediterranean. The Oriental will sail frem Gibraltaron the 7th of Sep. tember. Although | have sustained a heavy loss in the destruc- tion of a large quantity of personal ‘effects on board the Missouri, yet 1 esteem myself fortunate inasmuch as I have saved the papers and other objects essentially a pertaining to my mission. 1 was with Captain Newton, at the house of the American Consul, at the time the fire broke out, but I immediately followed him on board the ship, in a private boat, and, having secured the trunk ining my official papers, and delivered to Sir Robert Wilson @ message from the ship as to the succors needed, I returned, to aid, if Leyes in the only thing within my competence, that is to say, to take into my boat (as I did) some of the crew, in what! plainly saw was the ap proaching event, namely, the necessary abandonment of the Missouri. a most happy circumstance that I succeeded in g the papers ofthe Legation, as other- wise, it wou! e been indispensable for me to wait here two or three months, or perhaps return to the Uni- ted States for anew set of papers, thus delaying the pro- 6 misaien to a oho which long train of inconveniences, and the consequences Lich would have been deeply detri mental to the public interests. Captain Newton having been ofthe opinion, in which opinion I fully conow , that it was hisduty to lose no time in announcing to the Government the destruction of the Missouri, has conclude: to despatch Lieutenant Win- slow, oneofhis officers, to the United States by the wa: of England. My letters will be entrusted alse to his hands, and I would respectlully refer you to Lieut. Win- slow for personal information in regard to the destruction of the Missouri.

Metancnoty Accinent in Newark.—We learn from the Newark Daily Advertiser, that Mr. Aaron Price, an old and worthy citizen of Newark, fell from a large Elm tree, Friday afternoon, on the corner of Fulton and Proad streets, in that city, about 40 feet, and broke his neck, expiring instantly. Hannven & Co.—These enterprising gentlemen forward lettersto Europe by the Boston steamers, without the possibility of a mistake.

Tuer Cuatuam.—Jem Crow Rice, ever popular and ever amusing, makes his appearance at the Chatham on Monday night. This, we believe, will be his first appearance on the American stage since his return from England. City Intelligence, Distarssine Deatn.—On Friday afternoon Mr. Elliet Higgins, rigger, of 263 Henry street, left his residence about 4 o’clock in his barouche, to which were attached aspan of horses, to takea short ride. The horses took fright in Grand street and started off at the height of their speed. Before reaching Ridge street Mr. Higgins was thrown over the dasher of the barouche, and in that posi- tion, entangled in the lines, he was held between it and the heels of the horses who were running at the top of their speed. On reaching Pitt street his body fell to the ground, and the horses procceded on their way but were stopped soon after. Mr, John Wright of 79 Pitt street» raised him up, and finding that he was insensible took him into the office of Dr. Walters in the vicinity, where he died in a few minutes aftewards. His skull was badly fractured and one of his legs crushed and broked. Mr: Higgins was a native of Massachusetts, and aged sixty years. One of the horses in the span had runaway with him before. Rotten Overnoanp.—On Friday afternoon, a man named William Allan, while lying either asleep or intox- icated, on the string piece of the wharf, at the corner of Pier No. 9, rolled overboard and was drowned. His body ‘was soon recovered, and the persons surrounding it re- sorted to the ridiculous practice of relling him on a barrel torestore life. The Coronor in charging the jury, very properly observed, “ that the absurd practice of rolling persone just immersed in water over a barrel for the pur- pose,as is said, of causing them to eject the water from the stomach cannot be too strongly condemned—the cause of death in drowning is suffocation, and not the effect of wa ter upon the stomach. Very little, ifany, is ever found inthe stomach of drown: Bete on a post mortem examination, and the direct effect of the improper practice of rolling, is to preclude almost entirely the impossibility of the recovery ofthe patient. External stimulants and brisk triction should be used, together with artificial heat and wrapping the body in blankets, until medical aid is procured. Deatn or James Dovte.—This man, who was struck on the head with a stone by William Jones, on the di ofthe Democratic ward elections of we before died fergie § morning, from the injuries received. His skull was not fractured by the blows, but the Coroner's jury returned a verdict of died from injuries received by the handsof Jones. He has escaped to New Orleans, where it is hoped he will be arrested, More Buratanixs.—On Thursday evening, the dwel. ling house of C. W. Timpson, of 384 Broome street, was entered through the basement, and six silver spoons, marked ‘‘ C. W. E. T.,” and plated ware and dresses to a large value were carried away.

Hardy, 29 Greenwich street, was entered through the basement,and several damask table cloths and other linen and clothing were stolen, No other police business of interest. Hianway Roxsery.—In the Police Court this morning, John Fitzpatrick and John Kare, minors, were charged with robbery, in stealing from the person of Benjamin Larned, a gold ring, and money to the amount of three dollars and three cents. It appears that, between 12 and 1 o’clock this morning, as Larned was_standing at the toll houe, baa to pass over Cambridge Bridge, Fitzpa- trick and Kane came up and induced him to walk on with them in company. When near the draw, they threatened to throw him overboard, unless he gave up his money. They succeeded in obtaini i it. Larned returned to the toll house, said he ha: been robbed, and called the watch. The young men were arrested. On their persons were foun @ quantity of money, and, among it, a five franc iece, and a copper token, which were found to be In Larned’s possession.

We re- tain, ‘after renewed inquiry, the same impression regard- ing the probable yield of the forthcoming erop, as we sub- mitted in the Circular of the 7th of July, but as other per- sons who have recently ersed the cotton growing States have a different opinion, who say that it will prove equal to the crop of the preceding year, we are pertectly content to wait the issne of time for proof. We do so with full confidence that the information which we gave two months since will be borne out by the event.
