nominally fixed by the new tariff at ‘al, Will, at is supposed, amount (with the various chi ges formerly included in the duty) to about 4 tael mace, or nearly 31 per Ib. This is about $1 per Jb more than the amount of duty levied during the last six or eight hs The duty on the exportation ot raw silk is fixed dotlars $0 cents per pecul, or about 34 per cent on erage value. ; These reductions, coupled with the extension of the trade to the poris situated in the most productive provinces, instead of being confined to a corner of the empire, will greatly increase the commercial in tercourse with China, and lead to a |; that coun'ry of the principal fabrics ot is necessary to keep in mind, that (his increase must necessarily be gradual. Some increase willno doubt take place immediately; but, when it is recollected that the shipmeats of shirtiags to Ching Bury the resent year amount to aboul & Million of pl Birect from this country, and about 159,000 pieces forwerded trom Singapore and Manilta, egainst a- bout 400,000 pieces at the corresponding period o! last veer; whilst the shipments of yarn amount to 5,60) 000 [b., being also a very large increase upon the previous year’s business; 1t must be obvious that the probable increase has been tully anticipated,and that great caution will be necessary to prevent the market trom being greatly overloaded. This arrival briags accounts of the result of some of those Americau shipments to China, which caused 80 much sensatiun in this countrya few moaths ago. Although bat a moderate portion of the “domestics” which were shipped had arrived in China, they were solling at very low prices.— Stoth which had cost 9+ 91 to 103 sterling in the Uaited States, had beea sold at two doilars fitty Ceats.; aud just before the departure of the steamer, two doliars thir y cents, at which latter price there would be an eniire Juss ot the interest and charges. One cargo of American cotton, consisting of 2,800 bales, hud also arrived, and had been off-red tor sale »t Canton, bat did not appear to suit the mark- etatall; the Chinese muinutacturers not approving ofthe staple, aad part of it had been sold at about 8d per pound, a price certaimly not calculated to en- courage turther shipments. The price of cotton was, however, altogether much depressed at Can- toa, and the uafavorable accounts trom thence are likely to cause considerable shipments trom Bombay to this couairy. We understand that a letter received from the eastern coast of China, fully confirms previous state- ments asiothe extent of the trade carried on in woollen cloths from Russia, by which the export of woo lens from this couatry has been almost anni- hilated. The Russian cloths, which are sent by land through Tartary to Pekin, are found in large quantities in ali the towns near the great rivers of Chioa, and probably throughout the central and northern provinces. The recent reduction of the duties, and tne extension of the British trade into the provinces where woollens are required, will most probably cause a great change in tue trade. Businees at Canton had been quite paralyzed by the promulgation of the tariff, but there was every probability ot a good demand for British manufac- tures, as soon as it came tairly into operation. The exportot tea to Engiand tor the year amounted to 474 millioas of pounds, of which about 2} millions had been lost at sea; and with the usual allowance for reduction of weight, the supply for this country will be about 44 millions of ponnds, which very slightly exc-eds tne annual demand for consump- tion and export.

With reference to a preceding prociamation, &:,, it ii hereby notitiew, that the new system of trade will com. mence at Canton on the Ist day of tne 17h month of the present Cnivese year (‘he 27¢b July, 1843;) ead that from taat day tae Hong merchants’ monopoly and Cousoo charges wiil cease aad terminate. ‘The other tour ports ot Amoy, Fuchow-foo, Ningpo, and Shanghai, which, agreeably to the treaty of Nauk- ing, are to be resorted to by British merchant vessels, cannot be declared to be open for thut parpese, until au imperial edict to that effect shail be received from the cabine of Pking.

Brezil and Egyptian are 4d per Ib dearer than on this day se’nvight. October 18 —Extensive as were the sales of last week, those ofthe present one have been considerably larger; for the same number of days, the business has surpassed any done in our market during the lest nineteen years. The unusually great animation is attributed to the ratifi cation of the treaty with China, together with the back: wardness of the American crop and the henlthy state of commercial affairs in our manutacturing districts. There is a further improvement in prices of 44 to $1 per 1b. on the common en middle qualities of American, 44 por 1b. on Brazil, Egyptians, and Surats, and of fully 4d per lb. on Sea Islands. The arrival ofthe next stesmer from Boston and Halifax, is looked forward to with some aoxiety, as any further confirmation of the previous ac. counts regarding the crops will probably push prices still high nassisted by any export demand, the sales this week have amounted to 91,590 bales, of which specu- lators have taken 62,400 bales. The transactions have comprised 67,820 American; 5770 Brazil; 2030 Egyptian; 2630 West India, and 13,330 East India, &c.

A large business has tas ken place in palm oil, within the past week, at an advance of £1 perton upon previousrates, Provisions—American —Since the 31 inst, the transactions in beet have been to a fair extent tothe trade, the stock now leit being small, all of Rood quality, is likely to be taken before new comes forward, Pork 18 in limited supply, and is firmly held at the quotions.

Braproap.—The advance in the value of wool and cotton has thrown a degree of damp upon our market, and as the cost of production is materially increased, at a period when the autamn trade is drawing to a close, ma nufacturers are not enabled to obtain remunerating prices. There is not much business doing in any branch 01 trade at present. Bottox.—The trade of Bolton continues in a satisfac- tory state.

In goods, the transactions, though not extensive. bave been likewise on higher terms. Plain and printed velvets are in excellent re- quest for America, and this branch is:bealthy beyond all former example. Althgether,the prospects of trade appear cheering. Hanirax.—There was a very brisk demand for allde scriptions of mixture cloths at our last market; but we had | inquiry for lastings. Yarns were in request at Jate rates, and prices generally were firm. We are well supplied with wool. There has been little animetion 1 the demand for the raw article of late; still, ae regardsits value, there isno change whatever to notice. Houppensriziy —Our last market was by no means brisk, which may be attributed to buyers having sup- plied themselves very freely of Inte with heavy winter gooda for shipment. The supply of wool is tolerably extensive, and enables the manufacturer to sell on rea- sonably low terms The demand for strictly fancy goods, is not so good as it has been for some time part. Lrevs.—We hare much pleasnre in reporting @ contin- uance ofthe briskness noticed in our Jast ; indeed, the market has shown a further degree of improvement.

ManseiLues, Oct. 7.—Notwithstanding the favorable advices from Havre, our Cotten market has remained juiet, but as the stocks are extremely low,prices continue im. AmstervaM, Oct. 10.—No sales of any importance were effected in Cotton during the past eight days, yet prices were firmly supported.

We have, how to notice a slight decline in prices Considerable prices generally have improved. There isa better in- quiry for Turkey red. Orange yarn is scarce, and there is nogreen in the market. In metals we had more brisk. ness, and some amendment is apparent in the value of r, steel, and lead; iron is much noticed at firm rates. Indigo—the prospects of produce, both in Bengal and the upper provinces are stated to bv very satisfactory, and the crop is estimated at about fy. md. 125,000 to 130,000. Raw silk inthe early part of this month was in request, but the market has subsequently bedome dull, without any decided change in prices. Saltpetre,though in good demand, is rather lower. Rice—Accounts from the tricts in lower Bengal, complain of the pre dronght, and apprehensions are entertained for the rice crops; about one-fourth of the cultivation is reported already lost, and ifthe rains hold back a fortnight longer, itis probable thet failure will be general. Freights— Therates of homeward freightage have auvanced consi derably within the past month, demand for tonnage for the Manritius, orders being on the market for about 10,000 free labore: Amor, July 25.—Our market for goods is but dull Cotton twist Nos. 18 to 26, is selling at thirty dollars per picul.

Among the bills past was one to incorporate the “‘New York and Champlain Steam- boat Company.” The Burlington Free Press, jourament, says: One unpleasant affair has marred the peace and harmony of the session. One day last week the , Hon. Horace Evereit, in advocating the passage of the bill to incorporate the Ascutney Bank at Wiodsor, made some animadversions on the course of the Woodstock Bank, which were re- garded as offensive by the Hon. Andrew Tracy, the Speaker, who is the member irom Woodstock. Thereupon Mr. Speaker Tracy came down upon the floor and replied to Mr. Everett in severe lan- guage. We do not know in what precise shape the matter was brought before the House, but cer- tain itis that Mr. Tracy was almost unauimously susteined, and Mr E. regarding their vote at implied censure upon himself, resigned his eat, aud returned to Windsor.

New York, Tuesday, November 7, 1843. The Foreign News—Arrest of O’Connell— Suppression of the Repeal Agitation— O'Connell's Gross Attack on the United States, The news which we give to-day, received by the steamer at Bos‘on, is of the very highest and most exciting importance. The particulars will be found at length elaewhere. The arrest of O’Connell and his coadjutors, and the tame manner in which] he has received it, may be said to have terminated the Repeal agitation. No doubt Mr. O’Connell is asglad of such an arrest as the government is—and many surmise that it is a concerted movement to humbug the people of Ire- land. He and his associates have in their hands nearly $600,000, collected from both hemispheres by means of this agitation—so that will console them tor the closing of the drama, and the stopping of the supplies. But while O’Connell’s agitation in Ireland has thus suddenly closed, he has commenced a new game ; he has issued a violent denunciation against the institutions of the Southern States, which looks hke the begianing ofan agitation to divide this Union. He hasat last converted the Repeal Asco- ciation in Dablin into a violent, fanatical Abolition club, and the first leading points of their procla- mation are given iv this day’s paper, signed by his own name. He says, moreover, that his Holiness the Pope has joined the crusade against the United States, thuspresenting the singular combination of the Irish Repeal Association, Daniel O’Conneil, the Pope of Rome, and Lewis Tappan & Co., all united in an excitement against slavery that may lead todisunion in this land. ‘What now dothe repeal associations of the Uni- ted States, south and west, think of this last daring and insolent movement of O’Connell? What do the Catholic clergy think of their Holy Father ? The Election. The election which takes place to-day, is one of greatand signal importance in the consequences which must flow from it, both for this year and the next, when the presidential question shall be de- termined. Indeed, this election may .be properly regarded as the commencement of the great strug- gle which is to terminate in the victery of one or other of the two great parties in 1844, and which will exercise a most important influence on all the material interests of the country for many years to come. In these remarks, we have of course re- ference to the struggle betweem the whigs and the democrats—the other three,(parties being merely factions or fragments, whose existence is owing to the superabundance of liberty which we enjoy, and the exuberance of free epirits in the community. These offshoots seldom live longer than a twelve month, dying off to make room for others whoe vitality is of equally brief endurance. We now perceive that after a period of many years, in which both parties nave endeavored with tolerable success to concea! their views, princip'es and objects from the country and each other, they come into the field at last, undisy;uised—avowing their creeds and objects openly, fairly and avove- board. Bach party now frankly declares the pur- posesand measures whivh it means to pursue acd adopt, provided it be successful. What then are the principles involved inthe contest, which now commences and will continue till the fall elections of 1844 decide it? They are, first, the constitutionality and expediency cf a National Bank. Second, a high protective tariff, with the view of giving an exclusive advantage to all American manutactures at the expense of foreign powers and importers Third, distribution ot the land revenues to the several States, in order to furnish them with the means of completing works of internal imprave- ment, and recevering their lost credit by the pwy- ment of the State debts. These are the principal questions involved in ‘the present contest, so far s8 national policy is concerned. In this ticular State, there are some questions of local, interest. The chief of them relate to State :xpenditure and increase of the State tax. But these questions, however they may effect individuals and simall sec- tions of the community, do not interest the country at large. These are, we believe, the prominent issues now made by this contest. A variety of collateral and ridiculous matter will be pressed forward by all par- ties, and many invidious charges be proferred against one and all of the various candidates. But it will be well for all rational and intelligent men to keep their minds fixed intently on the great impor- tant principles invo ved in the contest, disregarding all the factitious matter which partizanship may in troduce. It will be seen that the whig party, under the oanner of Clay and Webster, who are now per- fectly united in all their views and purposes, are de- cidedly in favor of the creation of a new national bank, of the present tariff, or any high protective ta- riff, and to a distribution of the lane revenues.— There isno necesmty for our entering on any ce scription of the propriety and expediency of these measures. We believe that the greater part of the country have made up their mi‘aas on the subjects and that all that 1s wanted now is a fair and {ull ex- hibition of the popular will avd feeling, by all vo- ting at the polls for that party which represents their views and principles. If the whig party eucceed, a very powerful, and perheps a partially suc- cessful attempt will be made to revive the credit and speculation which so distinguished this country during the period between the years 1830 and 1836. Prices and paper money willthen rise—specutation be again indulged in— all tobe succeeded by another era of revulsion.— On the other hand, ifthe democratic party prevail in the coming election, we shall be limited to a strictly specie currer.cy -the banks will gradually Go out of existence, or collapse into very harmless establishments—tra de will gradually recover itself, make its own laws, regulate its own concerns, inde- pendent of legislat ive enactment—and the country slowly but surely attain general prosperity. Per hapsunderthe de mocratic system the country would Not increase 80 ‘rapidly as under the whig rule, but it will be amore certain and stable prosperity.— Indeed it is perhaps safe to say, that no matter which syster be adopted, the country will bea hundred yvars hence equally prosperous, great and powerful. Its resources are unbounded— its population rapidly increasing—it is not easy to gn any limits to its coming greatness. Bit some definite, settled, uniform line of national policy—be it whig or locofoco—should be imme- diately adopted. A good government like a good eoat is that which fits best. This country wants repose and quiet. The great interests of the coun- try want deliverance from the evils of continual change and continued uncertainty. And that re- pose and qviet will, we think, now soon come. Por the jivly wien euceeeds now, will tay browd anideep its foundations for permanent rule for years to come. Me. J.

They proceed from the landing down Green- wich street to Battery Place ; thence up Broadway as far as Fulton; thence to Nassau, along through Chatham street, East Broadway, Grand street, Bowery, round the fountain in Union Square; thence returning along down Broadway to Cham- bers street, where the Pretector keeps open house.

Ina the evening, the boys will show them the theatres, and next day Brooklyn and the navy yard will be visit- ed. A splendid band has been engaged by No. 22, whose members, enterprising, spirited, and always ready to grapple with the foe, or feast their friends, will not fail in discharging their welcome duty with credit to themselves and honor to the noble depait- ment to which they belong.

They asked him if he hed any money and he said yes, and drew a $10 note from his pocket, saying that if they would go with him to get it changed, be would pay them. The rogue who had picked up. the pocket bo k. stepped towards him, dropped the wallet agein to attract his attention, and as he raised up snatch: ed the $10 bill and both the rogues escaped. The pocket book was stuffed with broken bank notes of the Globe and other banks, Yesterday the fe!low who snetoned the money, was arrested and fally committed on a cherge of petit larceny only.
