Shipments of specie to England have recently been made to some extest, the exportation last week amounting to about two hundred and ten thou- sand dollars. The rates for bills on London are now higher than they were last year at this time, and the banks are compelled to discount very cautiously, to pre vent, if possible, any exportation of the precious metals to any greatextent. This is one of the principal causes of the tightness in the money market, and until ex chunge talls further below a specie point, we cannot expectany relief to the existing embarrassments. The stuck market has been seriously affected by this state of things, the fancies have fluctuated in prices very much, and many have already reached a lower level than realized during the past twelve monthe.

United State 6’s and 6’s have fallen from one to three per cent. State Stocks have not been affected so much by the rumors of war, but aslight decline in some of the soundest of these securities has been experienced. Pennsylvania 6’s have, since the payment of the August interest, fluc- tuated very much in value in this market and in Phila” delphia. Sales have been made of this stock within a month, as high as 78, but for the past ten or fifteen days prices have been steadily declin ‘This depression in prices for this security has been produced principally by the efforts of those speculators bearing the market. ‘The prospects of a war with Mexico have, of course, had some influence upon prices, but nothing near the effect afew heavy operators in this city and Philadelphia have produced. We do not see at present the slightest proba- bility of Pennsylvania again becoming a delinquent State. The immense increase in the wealth, and the ra pid development of the resources of that State, places the thing almost beyond a possibility. It is very true that her debt is many millions larger than that of any other in the Union, but when we take into consideration the resources from which her revenue is derived, she is as well able to pay the interest punctually on her public debt as any other State in the Union. The resources of the State of New York are, without doubt, at this mo- ment much greater than those of Pennsylvania, but at the rate Pennsylvania has been progressing within the past three years, it will only require another thee years to place her in advance of any other State in the Union. It is estimated that the industry of Pittsburgh alone adds to its wealth annually a million of dollars. The mines of Pennsylvania constitute its immense resources, and from this source the people of that State are rapidly growing rich. As an agricultural State she is hardly second to any in the Union. So long as there is the slightest doubt in relation to the prompt and punctual payment of the semi-annual interest on the State debt at maturity, and until payment is resumed upon the whole debt, scrip as well as funded, the market value of the stock must fluctuate in the hands of speculators, and its price will range below the same per cent stocks of other States, which have never ranked among the delinquents The finances of Mississippi, so far as its internal ex, penses and domestic debt are concerned, appear to be in a very prosperous condition. The total domestic debt of the State amounts to $502,253 44. ‘This amount 1s com- posed of funded and unfunded warrants or scrip, bearing five per cent interest, and the seminary fund bearing in terest at the rate of eight per cent. ‘The expenses of the Government for 1846, it is estimated, will amount to $197,714, and the revenue for the same year at $374,997. making an excess of receipts over expenditures for 1846, of $177,283, which will be applicable to the public in: debtedness. From these estimates it will be seen tha; at the present rate of taxation, it will require about three years to extinguish the domestic debt of the State. It is the general impression among capitalists here that more successful eflurts will be made in the legislatures of the delinquent States the coming sessions, to bring about a resumption of payment, than heretofore, or at least that laws providing revenue will be passed, the sys- tem of taxation perfected, and the financial condition o! the States generally improved. Michigan next January will, without doubt, rank among the solvent States, and the legislature of Illinois will make another effort to resume payment atan early day.

THREE O'CLOCK, NEWS FOR E OCEAN STEAMER HIBERNITIA, PROM BOSTON. AF@AIRS ON THE AMERICAN CONTINENT, Markets, d&e., &e. Our Foreign Relatio: The foreign relations of the United States, parti- cularly with Mexico, are in a most interesting and critical position. Itis utterly impossible from the character of our latest intelligence to aseertain with precision whether the two countries are at war or net, or whether they may not be in a belligirent po- sfion in a very few days. Our last accounts from Mexico are brought down to the 5th of August. We have seen letters from Vera Crnz and from the city of Mexico of the latest dates. These letters talk with confidence ofa war between the two countries—that it }s inevitabl®, and that the Mexican troops are ordered to proceed to the frontier of Texas in order to take up a position on the Rio Grande at once. Some state that the projet of a loan of fifteen millions has already been passed by Congress, and that if the money is not found in Mexico they will be able to negotiate successtully in England. This, however, wants con- firmation. One letter which we have seen from Mexico states that Bustamente is to be the Comman- der-in-chief—Filesola to be Major-General— Arista to have command of the cavalry—Paredes to be the chief of the infantry—and that an army of 25 or 30,000 men is now in a state of” organi- zation, and ready to march upon Texas and the Uni- ted States. These are the accounts which we have received direct from Vera Cruz and Mexico. Yet there is not a great deal of confidence placed in their accuracy, and doubts are still entertained, amongst many persons, whether Mexico is able to carry ona war. Our government at Washington, then, have no farther information than that which the public already possess. Sometimes they think that Mexico will be foolish enough to declare war— at other times, the contrary ; yet inthe midst of this difliculty, the President and his Ministers are putting the army and navy of the United States in the strong. est position imaginable ; and at this moment there are probably four thousand men in Texas, under the command of General Taylor. In addition to this, movements are in progress in New Orleans. Troops have been called out by Gen. Gaines, and it is stated that directions have been sent to the Governors of all the South Western States, to hold themselves in readiness for a requisition, if necessary. There has been a great deal of specnlation in the pro babilities of war being made by Mexico through theis sue ofletters of marque and reprisal. We have no cer- tainty on this point more than on the other. It is sta- ted with the greatest confidence that letters of marque and reprisal —blank ones—were issued by Almonte before he left this country, several months ago, and that numbers of these letters are already in Havana in readiness .o be used the moment that actual hos- tilitiescommence. Our government have despatch- ed agents to every port and position in which they can possibly collect any information on this very point, for we understand that it has been determin- ed by the President, that the very first attempt to carry out a Mexican letter of marque, will be very severely treated, as much £o as in the case of piracy. Another very important | oint is also involved in doubt, and that is, whether Mexico will make ac- tual war without a declaration at all. It was the opinion of Almonte before he left this country that the annexation of Texas was actual war levied by the United States or Mexico, and that Mexico is therefore justifiable under the law of nations to make war both by land and water, without any formal declaration. If this be the view entertained by the Mexican government we shall have no actual dec- laration of war, but the first intimation of the dispo- sition of that power will be actual hostilities either on the frontiers of Mexico or the capture of Ameri can property on the ocean. Such is the extraordinary, mysterious and critical position of affairs between the United States and Mexico. This county is not afraid of Mexico either alone, or backed by the secret friendship of France or England or any other power. Our gov- ernment is making the most active preparations te repel any attempt upon the territory of Texas, and the President is firm in the belief that the frontier of that teri itory extnnds as far as the Rio Grande, Rio del Norte or Rio Bravo, by all of which desig: nations that long river is known. The first gun that is fired upon United States troops—the firs capture that 13 made of an American ship by a priva teer under a Mexican flag, will only be the sig tor one of the most destructive campaigns against Mexico that has ever been known. Thousands and thousands of men are offering themselves to the government in all directions, and from all the great cities of the country, in the event of the actual breaking forth of that war. On the publication of a mere rumor in Philadelphia, Ge Patterson, of that city, instantly offered his ser with six thousand armed volunteers, to go to Texas. New Orleans, and every other y of note in the South and West, are fired by the sume patriotic and warlike spirit, and an army of fifty thousand men can be instantly collected. Besides all this, the Treasury of the United States 1s full to overflowing. There are ten millions of dollars surplus in the hands of the public depositories, and on the assem- bling of Congress, there can be no doubt that a loan of twenty, thirty or fifty millions could be easily negotiated, in the present flourishing condition of the nation. It is said that Mexico is instigated in the course of action which she has chosen, by the agents of the British government. Others again contradict this intimation—for the present the matter must remain enshrowded in mystery till events decide. If, how. ever, it be disclosed that Mexico is acting under the instigation of England, or is assisted by British in- fluence or British gold, a feeling of hostility to Great Britain will be enkindled here which may operate in away and witha degree that is little expected. P.M. UROPE We are ina condition not only to bridle Mexico | she can | also with powerful letters of introduction to leading and to punish her for any attempts make upon our territory or property, but we have it also in our power, without firing a gun, through that great element of our commerce the cotton, to produce a crisis m the commercial affairs of England, that would finally bring forth a dissolution of the social fabric of that empire, and a complete revolution in her government. This could be effected in Jess thon six months; and where would British power, and British influence then be, either to retain possession of Canada, or to make any movement towardsthe acquisition of Oregon, or, indeed, to maintain, in any point of view, her ascendancy in urope or Asia? ‘Lhus stand matters on this continent, at the pre- sent time—in the most critical position that they ever have been during the present century. If this war between Mexico and the United States breaks forth in the shape and manner in which it is now threat- ened, i will be the commencement of a military movement involving the whole of Western Europe, and ending ina complete change in the destiny of the old despotic and monarchical governments o the ancient world. This country—this republie— the “model republie,” as English writers choose to call it, holds in its hands the destinies of Britain If the next news brings in a declaration of war, no doubt the President will call an extra session of | Congress immediately. This has already been inti- mated by the organ. In that case, the excitement throughout the eountry would be tremendons Canada.—The pers at present, is the projeet for making a vast rail- road between the lower provinces and Canada, which, it is said, government is to take up. Per- haps the thing is not impracticable, and may yet be effected ; but it seems trom the extent of the line, === | the nature of the country, the rigor of the climate through which it must pass, to bea project too vast for the country, and too difficult to be soon accom- plished. English gold, however, is nearly omnipo- tent. The people of Quebec are well pleased with the | parhamentary grant of £20,000 for their relief, and | are sauguine enough to look for more in the shape | of collections from England. The buildings on the | site of the old ones, are commencing under the di- | rection of the committee, and according to the fire proof plans. We observe that shipments of iate- | rials useful in this province, have been made at | Liverpool for Quebec, and are duly appreciated. | ‘The theatre is closed, attera season which has | proved more successful than is usual in Montreal; forthe people there are far from liberal patrons ofthe drama. Mr. Skerritt, however, has been | well pleased, and is devermined to try it again. | A large sale of building lots has taken place on the outskirts of Montreal, and have realized excellent prices, which is rathera sign ofthe rapid growth of that city, than the abundance of money. The grounds were known as the Priest’s farm. | A serious row took place on the race course, where sports began on the 19th instant. Isaacson, an old Cockney, who is in the beefsteak and chop line, got his crown cracked, and a Mr. Scott was severely beaten. Rumor lays it atthe door of the Canalers; but, notwithstanding the pains taken by the papers to make this apparent, the person beaten declares that there were none such engaged in the attack on his tent and person. The military had to be sent for, but arrived too late to have a shot at the rioters. The Quebec papers mention the arrival of the bark Rory O’Moore, with a general cargo, in 29) days from Liverpool. This they call a remarkably short passage. The Anti-Rent Troubles. We have received the following additienal intel- ligence from the Anti-Rent region :— Deus, Wednesday evening, Aug. 27. Ap of about 50 men, under command of Frederick steele f the U.S. A., brother of our late Under-Sheriff, left this place for Dry Brook, a region hitherto unexplor- ed, where it had been rumored several Indians had been seen in disguise within afew days. We have just received Serpaiches from Steele, who writes ‘‘that after having explored the country for some distance, and finding none at home, in house or barn, be- tween two and three o’clock this morning, we left with the posse, leaving ten picked men, concealing them- selves in the woods until morning, to watch the opera- of the Indians.

The number of delegates from each town is mited to twenty. Theatrical Since the opening of the present season, theatrical busi- ness shows strong symptoms of prosperity, far beyond that observed for many years past. The Park, Bowery, blos—every place in the shape of a Theatre dedicated to the delineation of human character, are more flourish. ing than there was any reason to hope, or ground for ex- pecting at the opening of the season. Mrs. Mowatt and Mr. Hackett, both natives, have finished engagements at the Park, with the most extraordinary success. Next week the Kean family, consisting of Mr. Charles Kean, and his lady Mrs. Kean, formerly Mrs. Ellen Tree—make their appearance in the tragedy of the Gamester, A great deal of interest is felt for these artists, they both having been here on former occasions, but in less prosperous times, and we have no doubt from the anxiety manifeste! to see them, that their engagement will be one of the most profitable and distinguished that has been made at the obvious revival which has taken place. Both Mr. and Mrs. Kean have numerous admirers, and many personal friends in New York and throughout the country. The Bowery Theatre since its re-construction and change of management, has met with a very extensive patronage ; it is nightly crowded. The French Troupe, now at Niblo’s, have also been liberally encouraged, and are likely to be supported well as the evenings begin to get cool. Throughout the whole country, theatricals are decidedly prosperous, and indeed the growing pros: perity of the republic in commercial matters, appears to have communicated a vitality and increased activity, to all kinds of amusements and public recreations. In the midst of this theatrical prosperity in the legiti- mate drama and the light kinds, the Italian Opera is falling away. No effort is making to bring a troupe from Italy here, and the artists already in this country are so scattered, and possess so little adhesion of character, that thei combined operations are fairly at an end, Madame Pico and Signor De Begnis, are the only two of note here now, and even they are perhaps by this en route to Montreal, to do the best they can in that regioa. Ole Bull, when last heard of, was at Portland, (Mle.) he was about to take a tour through the West. He is ex- pected in this neighborhood about the end of next month. ‘The Seguins and Mr. Fraser have also drawn good houses in various parts of Canada, They are daily ex- pected in the States. Mrs Shea, formerly Miss Blanche Kemble, made her last ional Theatre, N.O., on the 16th Signora Pico and Signor De Begnies, after a successful tour te the Hast, started for Canada, and are to appear at the Olympic Theatre, Montreal, in the early part of Sep- tember. Signor Blitz, after an absence of nearly two years, du- ring hhe had been professionally engaged in’ the | West Indies, and on the continent of South America, | reaping laurels and lucre wherever he went, has return: ed to this country. He is at present engaged at the Bos- ton Museum, Mr. Burton, of the Chesnut street Theatre, Philadel- phia, bas engaged, for the ensuing season, the following artists: Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean, formerly Miss Ellen Tree, the new opera troupe, consisting of Miss Delcy, ignor Rophino Lacy, Mr. Reeve, Mr. Brough, Mr. An- derson, Mrs, Mowatt, and another actress of celebrity, but new to Philadelphia; all of whom are now drawing crowded houses at the Park Theatre, New York.

Oxvers.—This Regiment will assemble at its Armory, on Sunday morning next, the 24th inst., at 8 o'clock pre- cisely, after which it will parade on Lafayette Square, to be reviewed by Major General Gaines and Staff, and Chief Officers of the First Division. 2d. The companies and recruits which have lately been admitted into the Regiment, and not yet uni- formed and equipded, will assemble and parade in citizen's dress. 3d. The utmost exertions will be made by every officer, whether his men may be uni- formed or not, to have them present without fail; and every manwho may enroll himself in the corps be- tween this time and the 24th instant, will not fail to parade under any circumstances which it may be possible to avoid. th. The first Regiment ready for being mustered into the service of the United Stat will be the first to embark for Texas. Sth. Th gentlemen having rolls, for raising new companies and recruiting those previously orgunized, will at the earliest moment report themselves, for the “ first come first served” principle will be established, and there is every prebability that more companies and recruits will apply tor admission into the regiment than can be re- ceived ; there are, those who are anxious to march to Texas in this corps must not delay longer than the 24th instant to enrol themselves. tth.

The movement of produce on the Western canals and | lakes this season has not in the aggregate been much larger than for the corresponding season last year, but on certain works the transportation of produce, mer chandise, &c., has been much larger than usual.

It will be observed that there has been in the aggre. gate, and almost in every item, a large increase in the Dusit ess of the Canal in July 1845, over the correspon, ding month in 1844, notwithstanding the competition which it must necessarily have experienced from the Miami Canal. ‘The imports and exports of the British possessions in the East Indies, in 1841 ’42, compared with 1834 °35, have increased about seventy-five per cent.

The pacific influence of steam—-it makes all nations neighbors—and neighbors should never qu competitors in commercial enterprise. Captain Hosken made a reply to the compliments paid to him and his ship, alluded to the reception he met with on his first arrival in the Great Western ; stated his belief that the Great Britain was as strong and substantial a ship as ever was built, and that al- though some improvements might be made in the form of the propelling power, he considered the Great Britain as a successful experiment, and one destined to command public confidence. As speech making was not his vocation, he begged to assure the gentlemen present, in the words of his lamented friend, Captain Roberts, that his thanks came frem the heart. Steam and its uses, its advantages and its bless- ings, and the prospects of its still increasing bene. fits, now enlarged upon in the volunteer toasts and speeches that followed, and the evening was spent in great hilarity. Letters were received from Commodore Jones, Captains Stringham and Cooper, and Colonel Bank- head, regretting their inability to be present on the occasion. All these dinners, however, are well enough in their way; they are capital to the lovers of good eating; but will they create the confidence in the public mind that time and experience will? The Great Britain is a splendid steamer, but chickens and champagne will not increase the number of her passengers. Boston, Ang. 29, 1845, n the Custom House.
