On Wednesday, the 4th ult., the Lord Chancel- lor proceeded to deliver his opinion in the case oi ‘the Queen vs. O’Connell and others.” Lord Campbell, after stating his opinion that the indverment contalned some good counts, agreeing th Mr. Justice Coltman and Mr. Baron Parke in their opinion on the point of the judgment having given generally upon the indictment, notwithstand- ing the defective counts, he thought that the judg- ment could not be sustained. The noble and learned Lord coneluded by moving that the judg- meat be reversed. The amendment of Lord Campbell was then put and carried by the affirmative. The judgment of the Court below, therefore, stands reversed Of the eleven counts whi eter indictment, they prone either informal or bad, Four of the counts they id to be informal by ine finding of the jury, and two to be radically bad The bad counts are the eixth and seventh, which charge the monster meet- ings and form the kernel of the oflence. On these pointe the judges were unanimons.

Russia, ft The Bremen Gazette has an article from the Polish frontiers, of 3d of September, which states that the Emperor Nicholas has approved of the plan of the Minister of War for very vigorous offensive operations in the Caucasus, and that he isresolved, if not to make the campaign in person, at least to be in the vicinity of the threatre of war. Count Nesselrode is shortly expected to return to St. Petersburgh ; itis affirmed that he has commu- nicated to the English Cabinet the decided inten- tions of the Emperor respecting the war in the Cau- casus, and has obtained the assurance that the as- sistance sent to the rebels by English agents from Constantinople shall cease.

Pe We are assured thata treaty, the origin of which may be referred to 1840, is on the eve of being con cluded, by which England will obtain possession of the port of Snez, free passage trom Alexandria to that port, and other advantages of importance in Egypt and Syrin. This treaty, to which France is said to be no party, is guaranteed by Russia, Aus- tris, and Prussia.

During the day the Consulate General has been re-esta- blished, and its flag saluted by the town. Orders to cease all hostility, and to leave the island of Mogador, will be despatched this afternoon.” This intelligence, which has been most favor- ably received in France, has been also gratefully received in England, as it will prevent any possible chance ot a colusion between the two countries. The Emperor has acquiesced in all the demands of Spain. The concessions made are :— 1. The severe punishment of the Arab who caused the consular agent to be assassinated. ia 2. The government will receive indemnities for all the acts of piracy which have been committed on the Spanish vessels. i 3 Two leagues of territory to be granted to Spain beyond the lines of Ceuta. 4 The Spanish flag shall be saluted by the Mo- rocco cannon. India. The Indian Mail of the 31st July from Marseilles, brings letters aud papers from Bombay to that date. The 64h Regiment of Bengal Native Infaniry, which was notorious for insubordination when ordered to march for Scinde some months back, has again signalized itself by an open mutiny on the 20th and 2Ist of June, at Shikarpore, where it was stationed. Another mishap has befallen the troops, near Shirkapore, where a party of grags-cutters, with their escort, were surrounded by Belachees, and 80 of them cut to pieces. A lesser escort, conveying bullocks to Sukkur,was attacked and escaped,with four men severely wounded Scinde was tranquil.

Tae American Minteren at Catna.—We give the tollowivg items trom the Hong Kong Gazette of various dates received by the Overland Mail They will doubtless interest most of our readers:— “The authorities at Canton are far from being satisfied by the arrival of the United States frigate Brandywine, at Whampoa. The Imperial Com- missioner is abyen', bur the Mandarins have inti mated to Commodofe Parker, that it would be de- sirable he should leave the river. We do not sup- ose he will comply with this request until it suits is, own convenience ; but as the frigate is shottly expected here to refit, his present Whampoa will be # short one. Nothing has yet transpired officially of the probable success demanded | of Mr. Cushing’s mission. If his Excellency in- sists upon going north, with the “Brandywine,” and the other vessels, on their way fromthe United States, he will be stoutly opposed, so far as mere passive hostility goes, aud every obstacle short of actual warfate thrown in his way. The report of Keeying’s having been appointed to negotiate with the American and French missions is a very proba- ble one. During the Brandywine’s short visit, there was a dramatic pertormance on boerd. The dramatis person® were ali chosen. from among the crew, dresses, scenery, &c. being their own production. The piece chosen was Rob Roy; the affair passed off with great eclat—our conatryman Bailie Nicol Jarvie, was admirably pourtrayed, the performer having acquired the true Saltmarket doric. [From the Gazette of a later gules The Imperial Commissioner Keying, has arrived from the North, empowered to treat with the American and Freach Ministers. Mr. Davis, and Sir Henry Pottinger, have both had interviews with Keying at the Bogue, where they proceeded w.th the Castor frigate, and the Spiteful and Dri- ver steamships. Keying visited Mr. Davis on board the Caster, when he was received with a salute and manned yards. : The French Plenipotentiary has not yet reached China, but he is almost daily expected. The pre- cise objects of these missions, and whether they will proceed to the north is quite unknown. The commercial interests of the United States in’ Chi- ha, ure very great, and the appointment of a spe- cial mission at the prea juneture hae nothi.g in it extraordinary. French commerce here is a mere trifle. Their large fleet, Ambassador, and numerous suite may be looked upon more as a de- monstration of national power and grandeur than ietended for any practical purposes [tis surmised that the French Plenipotenuary will insist upon a peronet audience with the Emperor at Peking; acked with the argument of a strong fleet it nay be granted, though it is evident the Chinese are anxious to keep foreigners as far from the seat of government as possible. “* Keying has arrived at Canton.

Lonpon Monxy Marxer, Sept 18.—The pacific termina- tion of the differences between France and the Moors has led, as was reasonably anticipated, to an improvement in the value of the public securities.

[mas far as a judgment can yet be formed of the yield of Wheat, our previously expressed opinions ars Tully borne out, viz, that the quantity exceeds an average. Respecting the quality the reportaare not so favorable, and there can be no ques- tion that the greater proportion of that carried previous to the middie of August was put together in too hurried @ manner; still we feel satisfied, trom the generally heavy weight of the Wheat, that there exists no great cause of cemplaint : and another proof is afforded, by the produce of 1344—if any proof ba necessary—that a dry season may be regarded as favorable to Wheat in this country. Ta many parts of the kingdom no rain fell during a period of from nine to eleven weeks, the drought having extend- ed through April, May, and part of June; but the result of the harvest indicates tuat little or no hurm was done,thereby to Wheat, For sprig sown corn, on the other hand; the want of an adequate supply of moisture was most destructive, and ex on good soils, where the seed was early got in, the yie of all Lenten crops will, we feel Son vipOms BATS de- cidedly deficient Another unfortunate result of the long protracted drought has been the extreme shortness of the produce of Hay, and the partial failure of some of the root crops. All articles used for fodder are likely, under theve circumstances, to be scarce, and, compared with the value of Wheat, dear, Great efforts are being made to in- crease the quantity of green food for cattle, and with this view winter Vetches and Rye will be extensively sown : the latter article in particular has recently met with con- siderable attention in furtherance of this object, and prices have risen materially. Samples of new, suitable for sow- ing, have of late brought very full prices in someofthe western and northwestern counties ; and until the expit tion of seed time, this articie will probably meet with buy- ers ut Relatively high terms. These facts are worthy of notice, inasmueh as they afford a direct confirmation of what we have above stated, viz that the same combina- tion of circumstances, wdereby the quantity of the wheat crop was increased, were productive of a directly oppo- site result in reapect to spring corn, Believing, then, as we unquestionably do, that albagricultural products, ex- cepting wheat (including potatoes and turnips) are more or less deficient, it may be matter of doubt whether that article has uot been depressed somewhat below the point warranted by cireumstances,and though we see no reason to anticipate any important rise, we are certainly inclined to believe that farmers need not bein any great hurry to force off their wheat, at the extremely iow terms upon which alone they can at present sell. This conviction has led growers to bring forward wheat more sparingly, and the trade has at length assumed a firmer stone. ‘Antar a continued fali im prices from week to week, quotations have at last reac! @ point deemed safe by buyers Hitherto no great degree of activity has characterized the demand, but some improvement has decidedly taken place in the inquiry, and at several of the markets in the agricultural districts an aduance of 1s to 9s per qr. hi been established during the week.—Mark Lane Expres Sept. 16. Havae, Sept. 15.—Cotton—Salen 9,400, inst arrivals during the same period of 4.300 bags. The general in- clination of prices seems rather downward, and in many instances a slight reduction has taken place. The prc- ock is 95,000 bales. Coffee—Sales are made at a reduction on the last prices of 1 a 2 ceptimes. ‘Sugar—The market is at present completely inactive, holders refusing to offer at the present reduction, in the hope that, from the smallness of the stocks on hand, en advance may take pla Hides—Amongst the sales are 487 paquets New Orleans at 40 fr., and 219doat 44 fr. There are arrived 901 pa- quets New Orleans, and 23 do New York. Rice—Sales of 140 tcs, and 21 halt do Carolina have been made. 22,600 Lol Mey have been sold at 36 fr.

Hameune, Sept. 6.—Cotton—The transactions during the last eight days have been unimportant, and prices on the whole, are rather easier, Rice—A tolerably fair bu- siness has been done, 60 casks cleaned Carolina changed hands at 13 marks. Oil—Whale supports its value Hides remain firm. Wool was rather less inquired for, Util slight abatement in prices would induce further sales. Cra, June 21.—The stocks of cotton in Canton were very heavy. The following is a copy of the report of stocks and deliveries from the lst tothe 3lst of Miay:— American delivered, 465 bales—stocks 79; Bombay do, 10,983 do—stocks 76 997; Bengal do, 499 do—stocks 8 590; Madras do, 3 679 do—stocks 17,232—tot ‘livered, 15,526; total stocks, 193,898. In June the deliveries would ex ceed 25,000 bales. Malwa opium had advanced at Hong Kong. The quotations were—Molwa, old, $715 to $720; new. $700; Patna, $715; Benares, 695° Prices were also improving on the coast. There appears to have been « good deal of excitement in the opium market, owing Chiefly to gambling speculations among some foreign re- sidents, wlio had heen selling more drog than they had i their possession at the time; in the hope of a fall in price; to meet their engagements they were thus compelled to buy on the best terms possible “Complaints of the quality of the Malwa are still very great.

Opium—The speculative demand for time purchases which prevailed in the early part of the month has com- pletely subsided, and owing tothe recent heavy importa- tions ‘of Malwa Opium, from Bombay, prices sre ncw again on the decline. may be quoted at 650 dollars to 640 do; Benares 610 dols. to 60 do ; and Malwa 640 dole dols, for passable, and 220 dols. to 300 for a very interior quality, of which there isa large stock here Manitva.— Thence we have received advices te the lst ult. The market is very favorably reported on There ‘was no new importations of cotton goods, and the market was bare of grey and white shirting, American domestics and drills, all of which were much wanted. Colored goods were also in great demand. Woollens were also plentiful, and not in great demand. Pig and sheot lead were inno demand, and tho stocks large. Cigars were very scarce: and we are advised that there will beno more exportations of cheroots from Manilla until the new crops come in, and thet cannot be sooner than eight months. There was little doing in exchange, inconse- quence of the scarcity of bills. Tonnage scarce, at £3 10s to £4 per 20 cwt.

With the enormous drain upon her in the shape of compensation money, and the heavy annual bur- then of some twenty millions of dollars for opium, all paid in specie, unless there are mines in the interior of which Europeans are in ignorance, a few years will drain the greater part of the silver out of the country, and raise what remains to @ fictitious value.

Cotton Manufactures—Transaotions in these are all but suspended, and the few sales we have to report are such only as are required for local consumption. In prices there Lind change to notice.

Five Elegant Engravin; gs!!! THE GREAT HURDLE RACE. Millard Fillmore Teaching School. ILLUSTRATIONS OF AMERICAN HISTORY. The Illustrated Weekly Herald, to be issued this morning at nine o’clock, is one of the most attrac- tive we have yet published. It eontains a full account of the great Hurdle Race over the Beacon Course with a graphic en- graving. Also, a very interesting engraving, representing the Hon. M. Fillmore, the present popular whig candidate for Governor of this State, in the act of instructing the young and rising generation, when he taught a village school in his early manhood. This isan extremely interesting scene, and presents ahighly valuable lesson to youth, who may thus see that honorable and patient industry, perseve- mance and talent are always certain, in this great land of emancipated human energy and effort, of gaining a rich reward. This Weekly Herald also contains three admira- ble engravings, illustrative of interesting scenes in the revolutionary annals of the country. Price only 6} cents. The English News—Liberation of O'Connell. ‘The news received by the ‘ Caledonia,” which we issued in an extra yesterday, and of which we give avery ample and interesting digest in this day’s paper, is more important, in a general and pe- litical point of view, than any which we have re- ceived, for a considerable time past. It gave us the astounding and unlooked fer intelligence of the liberation of Daniel O’Connell, and the com- mencement by him of a new system of agitation, of which it is difficult to foresee the issue. The unexpected judgment of the House of Lords, is generally and correctly regarded as the result of aparty vote. The question was made aparty one, and the opportunity which it afforded te the whigs of forming a coalition against the ministry, and involving them in new embarrassments, was eagerly seized. It is, indeed, a serious blow to the administration, and will light up with added fury, the flame of popular disturbance in Ireland. A new and more comprehensive system of agitation will be now adopted by O’Vonnell. Of the animus with which that indi- vidual renews his old game, our readers will be able to form an accurate judgment from the peru- sal of his speeches, which we give in another co- lumn. These speeches are, indeed, quite peculiar and significant, and are remarkably characteristic of the man. Whilst the whig judges who voted for his liberation, are bespattered with fulsom praise; the others, and the legal functionaries who took part in his trial, are loaded with opprobrious epi- thets, which no one can so well invent and apply as O’Connell. Lerd Lyndhurst is a “ liar,” or the same thing, seeking to found his decision upon what he knew to be a lie—Lord Brougham “an in- describable wretch,” Sir Edward Sugden, ‘a cursed, contumelious little English dog—a currish contumelious little gentleman”—Sir Robert Peel “a liar,” Sir James Graham “a liar,” Lord de Grey ‘the shin-of-beet Lord,” the Attorney Gene- ral for Ireland ‘‘a malignant vinegar cruet on two legs”—and s0 on. This liberation of O’Connell will, in all proba- bility, be quickly followed by a coalition of the whigs—the O’Connell clique—the radicals—the © Leagues,” and all the floating elements of popu- lar discontent and agitation. The ‘free kirk” even of Scotland, will also unite in this alliance, and in a short time it is quite possible that the ad- ministration may be driven to resign. As to the probability of a repeal of the Union—that is utter- ly out of the question. But the project will be stili kept before the people, with all sorts of splendid schemes, such as that of a “Federal Umon”— and the “ Preservative Assembly” of contributors of £100 to the O’Connell fund, in order to amuse the people. Thus has the brief period of Irish tranquility terminated, and we may look on the arrival of every steamer for new movements and manifestations ef that spirit of discontent, un- rest, and violence, which seems to have eternally fastened itself on unhappy Ireland, setting at deti- ance‘all attempts at its exorcism. Political Movements. Democratic Nominattons.—The delegates of the several Congressional Districts in the city met last evening. 1n the third district, comprising the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth wards, there was no choice. The delegates made two ballot- ings, which reeulted as follows:— Charles A Secor, 15 16 E. H. Nicoll,.... 2 10 Oliver Chartick,. . 8 9 Daniel Pentz,... . There being nolchoice, 18 votes being necessary, the convention adjourned to meet this evening. J. Phillips Phenix is the whig and native American candidate of this district. In the fourth district, comprising the sixth, seventh, tenth, and thirteenth wards, the balloting was as follows:— William B. Maclay. Bernard Messerole Charles W. Smith. On the second ballot the whole vote was given for Wm. B. Maclay, who was declared unanimous- ly nominated. The Whigs have nominated Jon H. Williams, and the Natives Dr. S. S$. Lawrence, in this district. In the fifth district Alderman Leo- nard was or will be selected. The Whigs have nominated Alderman Scoles and the Natives Thos. M. Woodruff. In the sixth district Eli Moore was selected by the democrats by unanimous acclama- tioa. The Whigs have re-nominated Mr. Fish in this district, and the Natives Wm. W. Campbell.— The Democratic Legislative Delegates met last night, received about 138 names as candidates for nomination, and adjourned to meet on Monday night. Tue Lasorers Union AssocraTion made an ex- tensive turn out last evening in procession, attend. ed by D. B. Taylor, the president and founder of the Society, which now numbers over four thousand strong. They were loudly cheered as they passed Tammany Hall, and returned the compliment with cheers for Polk, Dallas, and the “ liberation of O’Connell.” SrxciaL Sessrons.—The summary justice exten- ded to petty offenders against the laws in this Court compared with that imposed upon the defaulting switdlersand bank robbers of Wall street, will be found strongly contrasted by reference to the pro- ceedings yesterday. The decisions of the Mayor and Aldermen were no doubt fair and just, but it the stealing of a pair of pants worth two dollars, should send 4 man to the penitentiary for six months, how long should one be sent who defrauds the widow, the orphan, and the community, of thousands upon thousands % Musica Amrivat rom Iraty.—We learn that Signora Pico, the new prima donna tor Palmo' opera, arrived yesterday in town, and took lodg: ings at the Globe. She-came by the last steamer. She will make her first appearance in “Clara di Rosemberg,’” by Rieci, on next Monday fortnight She is represented to be a fine looking woman, and her forte is u semi-seriotts opera. ‘Tue Fortran News.--Atan early hour yesterday morning, we received the foreign news by the Go- vernment Agentand Adams& Co. We received the first parcel from the Agent, and the second by Adams, who came in a-head of all other express lines. aoe Sure Barrise Queen.—This steamer was to have been sold on the Ist inst, 1a ®Anornex Panic amonest raz Waics—Tne Ma- RYLAND ELgcrion.—Tbe. announcement of a few returns from the State of Maryland yesterday, of the election for Governor and other State officers, held om Wedaesday, produced a great excitement throughout the city, and created almost a fresh panic amongst the whigs,with a correspon- ding rise of spirits amongst the locofocos. Full returns were received only trom the city and coun- ty of Baltimore, with partial retarns from ether parts of the State; but egough to show that thy re- sult, as compared with the great election of 1840, when the whigs carried the State by nearly five thousand majority, will exhibit a most extraordi- nary change in the minds of the people of Mary- land, on the issues before them at the present time. If we take the full returns of tae city of Balti- more as data on which to base a ealculation in an- ticipation of what we may receive in a day or two, we will find that. the whig majority of five thou- sand has fallen down to a few hundreds, if it should be even as much as that. %n 1840, the aggregate vote taken at the general election was 62,230— basing our calculation on the full returns from Baltimore, the aggregate. will now be 73,200. It will be reeollected that the estimate, based on the actual returns of 1840, recently given in the Na- tional Intelligencer, ef the probable vote to be taken in Maryland this year, was given at 73,200— within ninety of the actual result. We are per- suaded from these returns, and we have no doubt when the full resuit in this State is known, it will be seen by all, that notwithstanding the great in- crease in the vote in Baltimore, it is only a na- tural increase, apd that the cry already raised in certain quarters of “fraud”—* fraud”—is utterly falze and absurd. On any ordinary election an immense mass of the voters stay away from the polls, We have already shown that during the lust three years nearly eight hundred thousand legal voters have not visited the polls at all. Nor do we believe that in this recent electionin Maryland, the full number of legal votes have been taken. But ® few days will determine the whole matier. It is very evident from the returns we have re- ceived, that the Whigs have lost ground immense- ty in Maryland, and that it they carry their Gov- ‘ernor by five or six hundred,they may congratulate themselves on their success, although it shows them a decrease in their strength of nearly two thousand votes in the majority which they had in 1840, and almest making the State atie. Nodoubt Mr. Clay will get the State of Maryland, but it will be by avery diminished vote ; aud the influence of that very diminuation, with that of other facts, such as the loss of Maine and Delaware, must ob- viously exercise a very disastrous effect throughout the country. When Whig States, which have heretofore given large majorities for the Whig par- ty, are run down to miserable majorities, there seems to be little chance for the election ef Mr. Clay in all the doubtful and contested States yet to be heard from—such as New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, New Jersey, and others. The result in Maryland, which has created so much excitement and panic is easily accounted for from the operation of a variety of causes. Itis supposed, with great justness, that the Catholics, who are very numerous in Maryland, and many «f whom heretofore supported the whigs, have taken fright at the recent events and doings in NewYork and Philadelphia, have abandened tliat party, and come out for thedemocrats. This alone is a pain- ful element in this remarkable change. It is also believed thata great many of the tobacco planters of that State,who were favorable to the famous Zoll- Verein Treaty, have abandoned the whig party, because the Senate rejected that treaty at the late seasicn of Congress. It 1s likewise believed that all the friends of Mr. Calhoun and of the Southern institutions, have come out in full force to a great- er extent than in the previous Congressional elec- tion, which the whigs carried by about 4000 ma- jority. It is, indeed, evident that the popular tide is run- ning strongly against Mr. Clay and the wh that the power of this tide is felt not in Maryland alone, but from Maine to Georgia. Even Mr.Clay himself, as appears clearly enowgh from his fidential” letter to Cassius M. Clay, “has already given expression to his feelings ef despondency, and begins to be seriously alarmed at the folly, im- practicability, absurdity, and the vain endeavors of a great many of his silly friends. The election in Maryland is another practical evidence of the truth of Mr. Clay’s “confidential” letter, and also ot the soundness of the opinions which we have heretofore given relative to the injudicious conduct of the whig leaders, the whig editers, the whig orators and the whig conventions throughout the Northern States. Unless the great army of neutrals—eight hundred thousand strong—be not operated on successfully by the whigs before the day of election, the chances of Mr. Clay are, we fear, gone. And that were, indeed, a somewhat melancholy catastrophe. That a man like Henry Clay—so distinguished as a statesman and an orator —so honorably identified for a long series of years with the history of the United States—so favor- ably known abroad—so gifted,so noble—possessed of so many fine quali ili too-—who that is human has not failisgs?—that such a man shall be sacrificed by feols and Marplots like those who have managed his case in the North, and, “indeed, throughout the Union, does, indeed, appear a sad fate. Can it yet be averted? A few weeks will tell. Ore Buty.—This great genius arrived in Boston on Thursday, from Newport, R.1., where he has been sojourning for sometime past completing some musical compositions, he is about te intro- duce to the public. He is expected in this city to- day, where he is about to give a series of Concerts forthwith. No sooner was it known that thisgreat artiste would require the Tabernacle for his con- certs, than the Rev. David Hale required $100 a night for the building, which is generally let for some $50 or $60 a night. Accivent To a Pinot Boat.—We learn that the U.S steamer Colonel Harney, Lieut. Bartol, ar: tived at Philadelphia on Thursday morning from New York, having in tow the pilot boat Washing- ton, of this city, which she run into off Barnegatt, cutting her down to the water’s edge. The Wash- ington was prevented from sinking immediately by careering hir on her side, and nailing canvass over the breacl. After which the steamer took her in tow, andtook her to the Navy Yard at Phi- ladelphia city, vhere she will be repaired in the best manner at |he expense of the Goverament.
