New York, Monday, October 16, 1843 = ee = —— GG We shall receive by the Hibernis, and have for sale at (his office, all the foreign papers, together with London illustrated papers, ull of the latest dates, Cuear Livexatuns.—The following have just been published, and are for sale at this ofhce, together with all the latest publications of the day, at the wholesale snd retail prices—The Irish Melodies, by Thomes Moore ; The Wrongs of Women, by Charlotte Elizabeth The Monikins, by Cooper; Mrs, Ellis’s Housekeeping Made Easy, for Complete Instructor in all branches of Cookery and Domestic Economy. Nominations for Sheriff—Great Excitement among Politicians—Doubtful Results, The excitement among that portion of our popula- tion attached to the democratic party, since the nomination of Henry C. Attwood, for sheriff, by the County Convention, has rarely, if ever, been equal- ed in an electioneering campaign. As has been pre- viously noticed, his nomination was announced as haviog been made by the Convention at Tammany Hall, ow Friday evening, on the fifteenth ballot, he having received forty-five votes,and Westervelt for- ty. This was accoinplished by the friends ot Alder- man Emmang, in the delegation, who gave their full strength on the last ballot for Attwood. On the eleventh ballot the vete stood for Westervelt 42; Attwood 40; Emmans2; Osgood 1. This vote for Osgood was given by one of the friends of Wester- velit, who having some tickets in his pocket for O- good, as county clerk, in the hurry of the ballot placed one of them in the box, instead of one for Westervelt, which would have given him forty- three votes and secured his nomination. This will form ground work for the friends of Westervelt to object to the nomination of Attwood, and ask fora reconsideration of the vote on Tuesday evening.— The fact that the delegate who made this mis- take, will confirm the position by affidavit, wil! strengthen the claim, and we, therefore, should not be surprised to see a reconsideration of the contest- ed question. While this question is in agitation, it is our duty, as faithful public chroniclers, to call attention to an important secret movement that has been slowly but surely progressing in this city and Philadelphia for the past seven months, which is caleulated te excite the anxiety of every man who is a candidate for public favor, and every party who depends more upon the selection of men than the accom- plishment of principles. In the city of Philadelphia, at the contest last week, James J. Hutchinson, the democratic candidate forsherifl, received nearly two thousand less votes than the canal commissioners of the same party. This astonishing decrease of popu- larity on his part was mainly caused from the fact tha, he was reported to be the ostensible owner of « public porter house at the corner of Locust and Twelfth streets, and consequently nearly the whele temperance force, who were active in politics, was brought to bear against him, without any regerd to party feeling. The'*Father Matthew” portion of the temperance members voted almost en masse against him, believing it to be their conscientious daty not to cast their ballots for one who was a dealer in rum. Mr. Attwood, the present nominee, is the proprietor of a porter house inthe Seventeenth ward, known as ‘‘ The Hermitage,” and we understand, from numbers of the prominent leaders of the tem- perance cause in this city, that there will be, to use an electioneering phrase, ‘‘ a dead set” made to de- feathim. It therefore becomes him, if the nomi- nation is confirmed, to make immediate peace with the cold water boys,by closing hisporter house doors and knocking in the heads of his rum casks, or the ** dead set” may avail much. Alderman Emmaas has authorized us to state that he is not 4 candidate for County Clerk before the present Convention, but that he withdrew in favor of Attwood to suit his own inclination. The Convention meets to-morrow evening to no- minate a County Clerk and Coroner. The whig® meet to-night at the Broadway House for the same purpose. The Democratic Convention to nominate candi- dates for Assembly meet this evening, a second time, at Tammany Hall, to perform that duty. Eighty four names have been presented to the Con- vention, among which are good, bad and indiffer- ent, and some without either of these qualifications to recommend them. Cox. Jounson.—Old Tecumseh was at the Wor cester Cattle Show, in Massachusetts, on the 11th inst. { He visite theatres, ladies’ faira, lectures, balls, fetes, levees, and takes every other opportunity that presents itself to mingle with the people. On Satur- day night last, he attended the Irish lecture and con- cert of the humbug Mooney, at the Marlboro’ cha- pel in Boston, and, therefore, itis not at all probable that he will be at the ploughing match to-day at Pa- terson,N.J. Bythe way, we regret to see the man- agers of the fair of the;American Institute resorting to such questionable means to procure attendance on their exhibitions, as the aanouncements that the Hon. Danie] Webster, the Hon. R.M. Johnson, &c , will be present, when, perhaps, those gentlemen were innocent of any intention to be there. There is #0 much [merit in the Institute, that it cannot possibly require the aid of a ** pious fraud.” To ovr Home Corresponpents.—We publish in our columns this morning a letter from our corres- poncent in Concord, Mass. We earnestly ask all our correspondents in the inland towns throughout the country to readit, for the purpose of seeing how interesting their letters would be if they contained among other descriptions, a statistical, topographi- cal, or historical account of the place whence they write. Canavian Matrers.—In the Canadian parliament the last few days have been productive of many pro- posed new measures. A new militia bill is one of the proposed measures; likewise an amended bank- rupt law. The seat of government question is pro- ductive of great difficulties, and on all sides it is regretted that her majesty’s"goverament at home did not make the choice, instead of giving the legis- lature the election between Montreal and Kingston. The privilege question raised some days ago has been decided, and the |Hon. J. B. Tache has been permitted to take his seat in the legislative council. A new tariff on agricultural products imported from the United States into Canada is under discus- sion, being one of the measures heretofore referred to as promised fer the pretection of the agricultur- ists. We make the following extract from the par- liamentary reports on this subject, as it affects the interests of manv of our readers :— . Mr. Hincks moved a resolution to the effect that it was expedient to impose certain duties upon agri- cultural products brought inte tke Province, advo- cating the) measure tor the benefit of the farming population Mr. Harrison, Mr. Child, Capt. Moore, and Mr. Williams, strongly supported the resolution ; Mr. D. B. Viger and Mr. Simpson opposing it. It was car. nied, however, together with resoiutions fixing the duties to be imposed, in sterling money, as fol- lows :— ‘ On every horse,mare, or iding imported into the pro under Cwo years old do 168 On every bull ditto, 158 ditto, 1 On every steer, Yours old, ditto, 108.

Arnivats.—General Valdez, late Governor of the Island of Cuba, with several of his staff, arrived at the Globe Hotel in this city on Saturday. The Russian minister, Count Zabielo, also arrived at the Globe yesterday trom Washington Anornen Eprror Deab.—Thomas D. Rice, com- mereial editor of the Savannah Georgian. Outo Exxerioy.—The Cincinnati Daily Enquirer of Wednesday, has the following information in re- lation to the election which has just token place in that city :— 4 We heartily congratulate our friends at home and abroad, upon the result of the election of yesterday. Dunean, the indomitable—the defrauded ot 1840— the proudly vindicated of "43, is triumphantly elec- ted, and with him the entire democratic ticket, From the Wheeling Times, we have this addi- tional information of the result in the State :— The returns from Ohio this morning are of the most cheering character, and far beyond our most sanguine expectations. We give the counties re- cvived by the way-bill this morning, and from all other sources. N Muskingum, whig majority 1100. Guernsey, loco majority 50. _ These two counties make up the Mth Congres- sional distr Harper, (whig) 1s elected by over 1000 majority Licking, 225 bie majority for Congress; whole whig ticket electes hig gain.

Ki The returns from Steubenville district are not de- cisive, but we believe McCauslin, loco, is elected. A slip from the Zanesville Republican, dated Oct. 11,4 P. M., says:— + “‘Later and better. Licking county elects two whigs to the Legislature by 300 majority !” Dr. Larpygr’s Lyceum.—The experiment of the first lecture at the Tabernacle, on Friday evening, proved that building not to be adapted to the advan- tageous display of the planetarium. The audience, necessarily occupying the gallery, were too distant, and notwithsianding the great number of gas lights, the instrument was very imperfectly seen. In con- sequence of these circumstances, the exhibition and the lectures will this evening and every succeeding evening be given in the Society Library room, near the Tabernacle. It will be seen by the nouncement that in a few days an aftervoon exhi- bition of the planetarium, physical experiments, dioramas, &e. will be given. The matters in con- troversy between Prof. Gouraua and the proprietors ofthe Planetarium have at last been amicably ar- ranged, the former having accepted, for relinquish- ing all his claims to the instrument, a stipulated sum, besides a benefit in each of the three cities of New York, Boston and Philadelphia. In conse- quence of this agreement Prof. G.’s farewell lecture in connection with the Planetarium is intended to take place on Friday evening next—the particu- lars of the evening to be given in special advertise- ments one or two days previously. DacuerrEoTyre.—This wonderful discovery of the preeent age is advancing rapidly towards perfec- tion. When we reflect on the rapid strides it has made since the first imperfect production of M. Daguerre, we may not be called too eanguine to look forward to the time when the picture may be fixed upon the plate as perfectly as it 18 now cast upon it. The number of those who practice is ra- paidly increasing, from the cheapness and facility with which accurate miniatures can be procured. There is a great difference however in the results, arising from imperfection of the glasses of the in, struments employed, which distort tne countenance in different ways. The most perfect are those of Van Loan, corner of Broadway and Park Place. His pictures are not so distinct as some others, but the likeness is by far the best. City Intelligence, Locat News, like the weather yesterday, was dull enough. Nothing before the police, but the attendance of some dozen grocers who had been bitten by the forger Symes, a notice of whose arrest was published yesterday: for the purpose of recognition. The Coroner’sjury inthe case of Catherine Fitzpatrick, whe threw her new born child from the top of the house, returned a verdict, “That the said mele infant came to her death by criminal neg. lect and exposure by the mother or some other person or persons, with the eonnivance of the alledged mother, Ca. therine Fitzpatrick.” An unknown man was found dead in a stable corner of 8th avenue and 125th street. Nisto’s—Last Week of THe Ravets.—This popular and talented family, have made arrange- ments to start for Mexico early next week. Previ ous to their departure, they will repeat a few of their choicest pieces. To-night they play, for the last time, the very amusing ballet pantomime of The Milliners, or the Hungarian Rendezvous, in which there is a great variety of dancing—the mirror dance is particularly worthy of notice, is cunningiy de- vised, and executed with extraordinary exactness, as also the military Pas de Tyois, by Antoine, Fran- cois and Gabriel. Tight Rope by the infant prodi- sy, La Petite Amour, Charles Winther and Leon Javelli, and the last comic pantomime, which, for the splendor of its scenery, and the originality of ite metamorphoses, of its tricks, is unapproached by preceding efforts. Antoine is still the prince of pan, tomimic drollery; he thinksfit ishis best character, and he is right—for, although acceptable in every thing he appears, yet in the Conjuror’s Gift he is unapproachable. Mapame Crvt1 Damovrgav —The last is invari- ably the best, isan old maxim, well applied to this distinguished artist. Report says she is equal to any artist that ever appeared in this country. She gives her first concert on Thursday the 19th inst., at the Washington Hall, Broadway. Our French c.tizens are much pleased with the arrival of the lady, and we anticipate a glorious debut. Mons. Artot, the greatest violinist, after De Beriot, in the world, makes his debut with Madame D. Cuatuam Tagatre.—Mr. Burton has returned, and commences a new engegement at this esta- blishment to-night, and appears in two of his best characters. Paul Pry and the Wandering Minstrel are the pieces to be performed. Secure good places early in the day. Lake Supgrior Native Copper.—An article in the Navona! Intelligencer say+thatata stated meet- ing of the Nationa! [nstitute, held on Monday even- ing last, the Hon. Mr. Porrer, Secretary ot War, and ene of the Directors of the Institute, being in the chair, reported verbally to the meeting that he was pleased to be able to eay that the celebrated mass of native copper of the Ontanagon, heretofore noticed in this paper, was probably now on its way to Warhington for the National Institute. A letter from General Cunnincnam, agent for the minetal lands in Wisconsin and on Lake Superior, of the 28:h of August, had intormed the Department that it had been removed from its location on the Ontan- agon river, and was then on the shore of Lake Su- perior. Ithad been removed trom its bed by means of a temporary rail-way to the Ontanagon, below the forks, and thence transported on a scow to the Lake. This removal had been effected by Mr. Ex- DRED, who claimed the copper,under an eileged pur- chase of the Indians, with the aid of a large num- ber of men, who had either cngeged or volunteered for the purpose of aiding in its transportation, The Department did not recognise the purchase from the Indians, if any such had been made, and had directed the agent to take possession of it on behalt ot the Government, and transport it to Fort Brady, at the Sault de St Marie, whence the Secretary of the Treasury had directed a revenue cutter to trang- port it to Buffalo, at which place the Quartermaster's Department would take charge and transport it to thisplace. The weight of the mass, Mr. Porter stated, was probably from 6,000 to 7,000 pounds. ‘The agent had been directed to make to those who had transported it (o the Lake an ample compensa- tion for their Jabor and expense in so doing,although their right to the maes of copper itselt was alto- gether denied, as it belonged to the Government of the United States. Any cluim to the ownership must be established to the satisfaction of Congress before it would be recognized by the Department. Court For THE Correcrion or Errors— EO 5 E.

This village is one of four ef the same name in New England, end, although not so large as Con- cord, N. H., is yet the most important,'as occupying a niche in the history of the world. It seems to me that, in conssderation of the quan- tity of blood that has been shed here since 1635, the place is not sufficiently thought and talked of, and is not ranked high enough in the scale of vil- lages inthis country. In my opinion, it ought to be kept firmly balanced in the niche where it was placed in 1775; and if one or two hundred men were able, at that time, to liftit into notice, one or two thousand ought to be able, at this time, to “ keep it before the people.” With this opinion I write. I intend to give you a statistical view of Concord, and bring out its colors, if there be any to bring out. 1 do this for the rea- son already stated, and forthe purpose of showing to your correspondents in the inland towns through- out the Union, the kind of matter most of your readers would like to see in their numerous letters. Concord isa small town, with a great deal of sand,about 800 acres of water, one lidrary,eight face tories and grist mills, one bank, one poor house, one insurance company, three churches—the sign posts of New England—one river, five ponds, nine bridges, half a dozen brooks, one jail, three bury- ing grounds, an Atheneum, five doctors, a Lyceum, five lawyers, a court house, two military companies, two hotels, one newspaper, ten school houses, one academy, two or three private schools, one monu- ment, five hills, seven merchants, one railroad, the usual number of common roads, three selectmen, besides toot paths. _ Of all these there is much to say to-day, and at some other time. The village was called Musketaquid by the In- dians, and is situated in a valley, and upon the banks of a river called the Concord. This stream is made up near the Red Bridge, from the Tudbury and Assabet, flows on and falls intothe Merrimack, furnishing most ot the water for the Middlesex canal. This makes it of some importance, and also makes the towna beautiful one; for vil ages are not worth a copper without a r.ver. i We were incorporated in 1635—fought a terrible battle with the Indians under a ea in 1675— began the revolutionary war by killing two “red coats,” in 1775, and time will teil what extraordi- nary affsir or revulsion in nature will happen in 1875. We were the first inland settled town, and as such we feel our importance, notwithstanding we have been ‘‘backward in going torward.” I have obtained from the gentlemanly Town Clerk the following statement, which gives a pretty clear view of the progress of the village in the last twenty yeare:— Articles Population Polls. Spindles, « Looms, Pasturing, by Woodlan 5 Oxen, Steers and Sheep, = This shows some curious results. It is seen that the population has fallen off since 1880, that the dwellings have increased but ten; that the numbers of spindles is less; that no cider is made; that the farmers have turned their attention more particular- ly to the production of hay; that the swine have de- creased in number; that wood is rapidly disappear- ing, and that the unimproved land is increasing in quantity. All these speak unfavorably for the vil- lage, yet it has the elements of riches in much great- er abundaace than is exhibited in this table. (tis expected, and certainly to be hoped, that the aa Railroad, now building, will give an im- pulse to the enterprize and energy of the place. That road must give great facilities to the manu- facturing portion of the community, but it is rather questionable whether the farmers will receive any benefit from it. Indeed they may be injured. The above valuation table, when compared with the table to be given five or ten years hence wiil show the effect the road will have on the agricultural classes more clearly than we can) see at this mo- ment. All we can now do is to look at the sinall increase in the quantity of tillage land in the Jast twenty years,then take into consideration the nun- ber of farms farther inland to be brought into com- petition with us, end wait till ten years have rolled by in the course of time. — In a day or two! will write again on the statistics of this town.

James Gorpon Bgnnetr, Esq.— Dear Sir:— Ithas been a matter of much surprise to me, that among your numerous correspondents here, not one until nowjhas communicated to you an instance of flagrant imposition in the ‘Patent Asbestos Iron Proot Chests,” which are manufactured in this city. In passing by the Exchange to-day, my attention was arrested byfone of these sham articles, which was lined entirely with oak wood, and consequent- ly has been exposed to public attention, with “‘all its imperfections upon its head.” -The purchaser of it appears to have been a rival manufacturer of a sim- ilar kind of article, who has been at the pains of “hacking it down,” and hence the discovery of its being made of wood instead of “Asbestos.” Our merchants should look into this business, as it ma- terially concerns their intereet, in the preservation of books and papers which might be entrusted to the safe keeping of these wooden salamanders. To say the least, it is a fraud upon the public, and should be at once publicly exposed. There is occular de- monstration for this raseally imposition. That you may not deem me too captious, I am pleased to have an opportunity of noticing, in a ta- vorable manner, the productions of a very worthy artist of this city, Mr. Alfred Hoffy, who ia certain- ly entitled to some consideration tor the productions of his pencilin lithography. Ihave looked through his port fewille with pee and regard the apeci- meus which were shown me as highly creditable, particularly the “Penny Wedding,” atter Wilkes, that has all the appearance of a tind 4 He 18 now engaged upon a drawing entitled the Resur- rection, from a design by syoung artist of this city, and dedicated to Archbishop Eccleston, of Balti- more. One of our most eminent lithographers is Albert Newsam, a mute, whose talents are of the highest order. The productions of this gentleman are as well known in Europe as this country. He is now engoged in Daval’s ‘aphic establish- ment, and is constantly employed in the finest and most elaborate drawings. He is an éleve of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum of this city, and was tor merly a protége of the late Bishop White. As I have touched upon the subject of artists, permit me also to mention J. Sully, Jr., who is rising rapidly in his profession. I noticed in his studio an admi- rable portrait of young Wheatley, of your city, a member ot the histrionic profession, and also a very clever depiction of Shakspere, which has elicited much admiration. Barrett, the miniature painter, has improved considerably, and presents eome very tasty productions. Among his miniatures I noticed some excellent likenesses of various public charac- ters about town, which are instantly recognized from their fidelity to the individuals from whom they have been taken. Russell’. concert, the other evening, was numer- ously and fashionably attended, and the macs'ro himeelfin most capital voice. He is the only one whom I ever could listen to without ennwi for the epace of a whole evening. The manner in which he interests an audience is truly felicitous, and the style of his singing is replete with alternate humor and the deepest pathos. I noticed many a lovely eye steeped in tears while he sang the “Old Arm Chair” andthe “Gambler’s Wife.” His farewell concert takes place this evening, which will no doubt attract @ large audience. e theatres, for several evenings past, have oc enpied inuch of my attention, being seated at no less than four in one night. Paradoxical asit ma) appear, it is nevertheless true. Imprimis, the Wal- nut, where the superior performance of young Van- denheff and Charlotte Custman, in “Catharine and Petruchio,” was a treat of no ordinary description. Then the Arch, where Booth and Graham, in “Town and Country,” were astonishing the na- tives. Anon, the National, with its melo-drama of the “Ruby Ring;” axd, finally, the Chestnut, with the opera of ‘Anna Bolena.” The attendance at all these places was pretty fair, much to my sur prize. It occurred to me, while seated at the opera, that Messrs. Purdy and Welch might supply their menagerie, without any difficulty, from the variety of bipeds there assembled—some of them, outraging humanity, by instinctive approaches to the brute creation; in fact, there are # great many better be- haved baboons than these same mongrel creatures, who are so often to be found at public places Our election passed off very peaceably, and, re- sulted pretty much as [ predicted, in a victory for the whigs. That racy little sheet, the “Spirit of the Times,” had its cannon reversed yesterday, and a very pleasant editorial from the witty Du Solle, who spoke of their defeat in the most good natured man- ner imaginable. [ like such a course ot conduct— it is candid and manly, and worthy of commenda- tion. On the evening of the election I visited the Com- missioners’ Hall, in the district of Moyamensirg, and soon atter witnessed the revolting spectacle of aman shot, by some miscreant, who thus far has eluded detection, but whom it isdesired may speed ily be discovered and brought to merited justice.— The tace of the injured individual was very much swolen, and peppered completely with the shot, some of them entering the eyes and destroying the sight. He was bleeding protusely from the wounds. On the arrival of a physician, he was ordered to the hospital, where he now lies in a very precarious sit- uation. Ihave understood that he isa member of the Moyamensing Hose Company, and the foul act is supposed to have been perpetrated by one be- longing to the Marion Hose Company, with whom there is considerable bickering. Our fire compa- nies are great nuisances in many instances, and de- mand loudly the interference of the legislature, in the prevention of the disgraceful riots which so.fre- quently occur in ‘‘the city ot brotherly love.” Yours, truly, Pamapevruia, Oct. 14, 1843. Brother Maffigt’s Assault upon the New York Herald, and its Correspondent—His Reply. Dear Bennett :— Thad not intended to have enlightened your rea- ders with any further sketches of the protracted meeting now being held at the Wharton street church, Southwark. I have, however, been com- pelled to aiter this determination, and to appear once more before your readers in vindication of myself from an asaault made upon me, as likewise upon the New York Herald and its Editor, by the pious, learned and eloquent conductor of the aforesaid mecting, Brother Maffitt. I was not present on the occasion referred to, but have been told that Mr. M., having indulged for more than an hour in the indiseriminate abuse of the congregation of the Wharton street church particu- larly, and of the people of Southwark generally, whom he described as resisting the messengers of Heaven, and rejecting, with hearts harder than a nether millstone, the offers of gospel mercy, went on to denounce, in the most vulgar, disgusting and impious language, the correspondent and editor of the New York Herald, in something like the follow- ing style :— s **Wo! wo!” said the amiable pastor, “and the everlasting curse of indignant Heaven shall crush with every degree and kind of calamity the miserable sinners who have heard unmoved the words I have uttered the last two weeks, and treat- ed with disregard the overtures of mercy I have made; but more especially, wo and mistortune and anguish and utter desolation shall fall on the mise- rable loafer, who having assumed the venerated name of our sainted founder, Wesley—has filled with the filth of calumny the columns of the New York Herald, the vile channel of every slander that the corrupt Tin aoe of ungodly men can in- vent. Oh! brethren, pray for the unholy man who conducts that work of iniquity, James Gordon Ben- nett, a poor Scotch adventurer and renegade papist; pray,pray for him, brethren; for the Scriptures tell us that by praying for our enemies, we shall heap coals of fire on their heads—(‘* Lord, bless him—amen. Lord, burn him to a cinder,” was here screamed out by a hundred voices.)—pray for him that the Lord may shower upon him the hail-stones of afflic- tion—that He may grind bim down with the mill- stones of calamity, and break him up with the tor- tures of a writhing conscience, that so he may snatch him from the fangs of the devil, which now clutch him with the security of everlasting posses- sion. And for the lying loafer, who has scorned our efforts for his conversion, who has laughed at our exhortations for his repentance, who has thrown contrast ys lixe mud, upon the messenger ot the gospel}; and, as it were, spit in the very eye of the ambassador of Heaven, who has vilified and slandered an angel of the Lord; (Cries of “Ha! oh! the wretch !”) for the Hebrew word for angel means messenger ; and are not we messengers ? and has not this pitiful loafer raised his sacrilegous hand to strike at ns, the angels of the Lord? Oh, may the thunderbolts of Heaven's vengeance strike the heart ofthat man, if he be in this house to- night, till it torce him to ery out with terror, and to come forth to this railing, as did the young man the other night, and sending for me from the other end of the church, supplicate my pardon, saying “‘ Brother Maffit, can youforgive me, tor I have re- viled you, not knowing your godliness and sanc- tity 7” And I did forgive him; and ! do forgive this lying, slandering, calumniating, backbiting wretch, who has profaned the venerable name of Wesley, and persecuted and reviled the servants ot the Lord Let him go on, infatuated sinner; let him go on and persecute us, for we love to be persecuted and made little of ; let him go on until he be over- taken by the hour of retribution, and be made to scream, and wail, and cry out with anguish and remorse for having retarded the good work here going on. Brethren, pray for this hour to come now—pray, pray, pray now.

But the work continued to be issued, with an increase number appeared; the characters neither killed the author, nor he them ; and its popularity and triumph were so well insured, after the is- sue of the tenth number, that Sux had the pleasure of re- fusing ONE HUNDRED THOUSANC FRANCS for the copy right.

There is ro much trash foisted on the public by imitators, under different names, that people should be on their guard, particularly ladies, how they tamper with their complexions, otherwise the nos- trums advertised by unprincipled venders will engender the very diseases the French Medicated Soap is intended tocure. 67 Walker street, one door from the corner of Broadway, is the depot for its sale in New York. 50 cents per cake. “CONSUMPTION MAKES ITS ADVANCE’ witha stealthy step,and before the snfferer is aware, has gained such sure po: mn of his victim that remed: proveof no avoil.

MONEY MARKET, Sunday, Oct. 15-6 P. M. ‘The mails for the Boston boat closed on Saturday. She will take her departure to morrow, carrying with her as leading items of news, that money continues plenty, stocks firm and generally »dvencing, a falling off in the demand for imported goods, a decline in exchanges conse- qeent upon diminished demand and increasing supply, threatening to renew the imports of coin from England, and great improvement in the appearance of the cotton crop, caused by the extraordinary fine weather, a deficit in the government revenues, consequent upon the opera tionsof thetariff, and a project to supply that deficit by the issve of government notes, to circulate a8 money, in the manner of English exchequer bills. The erack packet ship Roscius, of 1000 tons, arrived yesterday with a freight list of £600! ! An immense decline in trade. These arethe leading items in our present state of sffairs, and when we consider the length of time during which trade has been depressed, causing a great consumption of goods and sup- plies in the interior, without as yet producing any impor. tant demand for goods, either domestic or foreign, for home consumption, the fact becomes evident, that the means of the people have not yet arrive! ata position where they can renew their purchases to any considera- ble extent—that the farmers are “ protecting” them- selves by spinning, weaving and making their own flax and wool into garments. In the census returns of the U. States for 1840, the amount of * family made goods’’in the States was valued at $29,088,280. The production of these goods is entirely from the industry of each farmer’s fami- ly, and are of flax and wool. The flax is grown, cut, rotted, swingled, hacheled, spun, wove and made up into garments, by the females in each family for the consump- tion of each family. The long wool of the sheep is also spun, Weve and made up into garments, carpets, and in some cases blankets. This process is extensively carried on in each State, asseen in the following table fromthe census :— Vatue ar eeene Mave IN Invi Famivies oF THE A NiteD STATES. PER ov 1840.

Therearon is thatthry can do it themselves cheaper than eithor the “ protected” corporate companies, with stone palaces, or the import- ers, can furnish them and pay the duties. The only man- ner in which manufactures, with the exception of cotton, asa business, hasincreased of late years, has been in a peculiar and primitive way. We have alluded tothe man- ner in which goods are made in families. It has come to be true of late years, that some individual will buy at se- cond hand, ascheap as possible, suitable machinery, andjlocate in some populons district. He manufactures {on shares;” that is, he sends round st shearing time, among the farmers, and bargains to make up their wool into cloth, allowing a certain price for the wool in cloth, or if he has cloth on hand, he exchanges at once. Every farmer knows what quantity of cloth his wool will pro- duce. If he bargains to have his wool wove for him, in the early cold weather he calls for it, and has it made up at home. The advantage in this arrangement is, that it is ready in time at the season “that itisywanted. Thes> little share manufacturers grow by din tof economy and industry, precisely as the community around them ad, vances in wealth and prosperity. Neither the tariff, nor English, nor New England manufactures, have any thing to do with the matter. For instance, if a girl takes ser- vice in the western part of NewYork she for the most part Invests her earnings in sheep. These sheep some farmer keeps for her “ on shares;” every thing is “on shares.” 1f she owns say twelve sheep, a farmer will keep them “ for theincrease,” so that the flock remains good to her,and with the wool” she makes her own winter garments. Tae production of clothing by these methods of industry and ingenuity in the United States is immense, and its im- portance very little estimated at home or abaoad. It is tae legitimate and only me:hod by which a new country and an agricultural people progress in the arts. The facts here stated, are familiar to every farmer in the country. In the midst of scenes like these, a few individual capi talist will subscribe a capital, procure an incorporation” Diild @ stone palace, import and buy expensive ma’ chinery, and ge to msking cloths. The result is, what every body of common sensejwould anticipate, they can- not make them so cheap or so durable, as to induce the farmers to buy. The only market is in the cities,and there cheaper and better can be procured from abroad. These individuals being then in a scrape, having forestalled the advance of the country, request Congress to pass 4 law, taxing foreign cloths for their benefit. All this is wrong. It originates in error, and progresses in folly. Some of these corporate Nabobs in their marble palaces,attempt to make linens in competition with the foreign. We have ourself frequentlyin Europe, in the vicinity oflarge cities, entered the humble cot of a small farmer, where invariar bly in one room, is a small loom for the weaving of linen cloth. Every leisure moment is here employed. The flax is grown and prepared on the place, and an excellent quality of linen produced in amazing quantities consider. ing the means. These little collections of linen find their way to city merchants, and are exported. Tho only competition that can be sustained against this, is by a similar economical industry. To build expensive buildings and machinery, managed by corporate officers in the usual manner, and expect the consumers to pay the expenses of the corporation in the shape of duties, is preposterous and ruinous. ‘The whole consumption of cotton goods in the United States is now supplied by home manufactures, and it takes about 11 per,centfof the crop. That is, the manu facturers of the United States took last year 825,000 bales out of a cropof 2,378,000 bales; all the remainder is used up by the capital of Great Britain end the industry of 2,000,000 of ite people.
