ARRIVAL OF THE i GREAT WESTERN. | FOUR DAYS LATHER FROM EUROPE. State of the Cotton Market, ‘AFFAIRS IN INDIA. TERRIBLE RIOTS IN GERMANY. The Crops in England. PROGRESS OF QUEEN VICTORIA, &e. Se. Fe. The favorite of old Neptune and the Americans, | of animation prevailed in the Corn market of this | Spain and Portugal reckon a good number ot Dukes, the Great Western, Captain Matthews, has ar- rived, and relieved us of the little anxiety that we began to feel for her reputation for speed. She sailed from Liverpool cn the 23d ult. and ex- perienced constant and heavy westerly gales. This satisfactorily accounts for the length of her passage. One hundred and forty-five passengers have come out in her—a larger number than ever before came in an ocean steamer. Among the passengers in the Western, are the Hon. D. Jenifer, late U.S Minister to Austria; | Hon. W. Boulware, late U. 8. Minister to Naples ; | and the Elon, C. Hughes, late U. S. Minister to the | Hague. There appears to be no particular change in the Cotton Market. There is no news of importance from Ireland. Affairs in France are apparently quiet. There has beena very serious religious riot in Leipsic. The Jesuits cause their share of trouble in Eu- Tope. Advices from Switzerland state affairs in that un- happy country are now near acrisis. It will be has- tened by the dispersion of the Diet. The toastof the King of Prussia was but little re- lished. There is nothing of importance from Spain.— There are, however, plenty of rumors of changes | in the Cabinet, &c. We find one tact in the Spanish news worth a | thought. The Spanish government has commenced the restitution to the clergy of the unalienated pro- | perty of the church, and has even included in this head property which had been really sold, but on | which the payments have not been made. This is | done with e view to conciliate the Pope. Railway accidents in England have become what | steamboat explosions in the United States have long been—too general. ‘The weather continued unfavorable in England. The Roscius, Hottinguer, and Siddons had ar- rived out.. Queen Victoria’s rambles on the continent con- tinue. | The demand for Canadian Corn was active, in | consequence of the unsettled state of the weather. | The Overland Mail arrived on the 2Ist ult., the commercial accounts by which possess no striking feature, and may, upon the whole, be considered fa- vorable. Exchange was brisk, and freights for England had improved. The cholera was sweep- ing over Western India, and hurrying its victims to their last account. At Lahore the mortality was dreadful—bordering on 30,000! From China there is nothing new. Some dissatisfaction has been expressed by the ~ holders of Pennsylvania ‘stock, that faitn has not been quite kept with them in the matter of their bonds. ‘The payment of the interest, they gratifying- ly acknowledge, has been resumed, and provi- sion has been made tor the payment of the arrears, but the certificates of the new stock bear interest at | the rate of 44, whereas the former were at the rate of Sand 6 per cent. It appears certain, says the National, that Louis Philippe has several times advised Mde. Munoz (Queen Maria Christina) to return to France. It is also very positively stated, that steps have been very actively and persevering taken to ensure 3 marriage between the Duke de Montpensier and the Infanta Donna Louisa Fernanda. Queen Vicroria’s Visit, to Germany.—We gave in our paper of the 19th inst., an account of her Majesty’s embarkation, arrival at Antwerp, and pro- gress up the Rhine, as far as Aix-la-Chapelle. It was remarked that the royal travellers looked re- | mons :— | yet a fair crop will be obtained this season, certainly | end of July than they were almost ever known to be | est abundance in that description of farmi | quantity of sugar received from the West Indies, the | Commenctat..—The weather has a material eflect on the Produce Markets previous, for instance, when the atmosphere ap- peared to be at all tolerable, there was a good deal family, was only a Major in the French army, when | of business transacted in Cotton, but on the days | he married Josephine, the daughter of a tobacco when the rain deluged the plains, not only was dealer, and a creole of Martinico ; Franklin, was a there less doing, but prices became depressed, and the article almost unsaleable. The influence which external nature has on the animal spirits has long been proverbial, and it would seem that the busy sons of trade, to many of whom the prices current is the great book of nature, are as keenly suscepti- ble of it as more poetical temperaments. The Share, like the Cotton market, has been brisk on the fine, and heavy on the wet days. ‘Ihe sules of Cotton yesterday and to-day have improved both as | regards quantity and prices, bui the rates of last | week are barely realized, and some descriptions are | dull of sale cad a point lower. Yest the sales. were between 5,000 and 6,000 bags. The sales of | the week are 32,000 bags. On Tuesday and ednesday, in consequence of the unfavorable state of the weather, a great deal port, and on the last-named day the price of wheat | rose 2d. per 70 lbs. ‘The demand for Canadian | Wheat and Flour was also considerable, but was checked by the exorbitant terms of the holders. The excitement has now disappeared, and the mar- ket yesterday was as languid as it had previous! been excited: The sickle is now actively at wor! in this neighborhood and it will probably be general in the early part of next week over the country. A few days—a week ora fortnight—of fine weather would go farto repair much of the injury whi h has been done. The duty on Foreign Wheat is 1s. lower since the sailing of the “Caledonia” It rules now—Flour 10s. 10d. per barrel; Rye, 93. 6d. per quarter; and Wheat 18s, per quarter. | Ih ence to the all-important subject of a bad | harvest, we annex the tollowing return of the quan- | tity of Wheat and Wheat Flour in bond in England | on the Ist of July, trom 1833 to 1845, which has just been published by order of the House of Com- Years, su Hanvest.—Whatever may be the result of the present harvest, it is, we believe, un- questionable, that so far as human exertions can go, much more has been done in the last year to obtain agood produce from the land than was ever done before. Weare not without strong hope that even inferior in quality to that of last year, but probably considerably more in quantity. This we say, though we suspect that most of the accounts from the coun- try which tell us that yet no damage has been done, ure more flattering than true. Some districts have indeed been wondertully fortunate compared with others, but we rather think it must be admitted that in all more or less damage has been done to the grain crops. On the other hand, it should be observ- | ed that the crops were heavier on the ground at the | before, and if four-fifths of the corn should come to maturity, and be sately harvested, the crop will still be anaverage one. It is also to be observed, that while last year was almost a failure in respect to green crops and roots, this year promises the reat . Last year the difficulty was to find food for cattle ; this year itis to find stock to eat the food. Upon the whole, notwithstanding the scarcity of sunshine this year, and the abundance of wet, we may hope that, taking all things together, there will be a fair aver- age of general produce; and though the. toil and anxiety of the farmer will be great, the ultimate re- sults will be better than they sometimes are ia seasons Which lead to very low prices.—London pa- per, Aug. 22. Ruse is tHe Price or Sucar —Although the Mauritius, and the East Indies, is greater this year than it has been for many years previeusly, yet the rices of all kinds of sugar still continue to This is partly owing to the failure of last year’s crop in the island of Cuba, and partly to the great increase of the coasumption in this country since the reduction fof the duty. Owing to the former cause the British refiners have got the supplying ef the Russian market as wellas their own, and if re- port speaks true they are making fortanes rapidly; and, owing to the latter cause, the increased supply in the English market is barely equal to the demand. Since the beginning of the year the average price of Muscovado sugar in this country has risen from less | than 285. the ewt. to 34s. dd., and itstill shows | every appearance of a continued rise.—Liverpool | Times. Tas Iron Trape.—In 1749, the quantity of pig- iron produced in England was only 17,000 tons, from furnaces; in 1750, it had increased to 22,000 tons; in 1788, the amount was 68,000 tons, and 121 furnaces; in 1806, the number of {furnaces had in- | creased to 169, producing 250,000 tons, and in 1820 | the amount of pig-iron in England was 400,000 tons, while, last year, the total produce of pig-iron could not have been less than 800,000 tons, which has con- markably well, notwithstanding their tempestuous voyage, and were everywhere received with de- monstrations of profound respect. : On Saturday morning her Majesty, accompanied only by Prince Albert and her suite, left Stolzen- fels, and embarked on board tke steamer Fairy. The King of Prussia, accompanied them to the vessel. He then took farewell of them, and returned on shore, while the yacht, gMid the cheering of the multitude and the firing of artillery, was set in mo- tion, and proceeded up the Rhine. As long as she remained in sight trom the bank below the castle, the ing wood upon the beach waving his handker- chief, eC etl party reached Mayence at six o’clock, having been rather more than six hours on the As usual, cannon thundered, and mu- je. sic playe i when the Queen landed; besides the guns on the fortifications, a troop of Light Horse Artillery banged away, and nota little steamer on the river but had her crack out of her couple or so of rusty pop-guns. The disembarkation was the work of # moment. Her Majesty quickly disappeared from vulgar eyes beieath the portals of the Government house, and the crowd which ad collected, tollow: ed the march of the military as they filed off to their various barracks. Her Majesty and the Prince were received by Prince William of Prussia, the Governor of Mayence. The royal party did not, nowever, stay long at the offictal residence, but proceeded to the Hotel de l'Europe, where sleeping apartments had been prepared for them. After sighiall the (Queen was treated to a military serenade by torch light. The appearance of the troops, as they marched to the hotel, the torches flashing and flaring upon the blue and white uni- forms, and the glancing arms of the Austrian and P.ussian troops, had a. really striking effect. The bands took up their station round the hotel, the space occupied by them being kept by a party of soldiers, and the music, heard emid the rattle’ and clash of arns, the murmuring and rushing of the crowd, and the military orchestra seen by the flashing glare of torchlight, all together made up a rare treat for eyes andears. The serenade lasted for about three quar ters of an hour, and the troops then returned to their quarters, the hands playing up a merry polka. Her Majesty remajned at Mayence, on a A 3 and on Monday proceeded, via Darmstadt, to Wurtzburgh, where the Royal party would spend the mght. On Tuesday they would set outfor Coburg, where a long day’s journey would bring them in the evening. Peritovs Ascent or Mr. Greex.—One of the most perilous ascents ever attempted by any aero- naut was accomplished by Mr. Green during the storm on Monday night, and happily without any serious result, in the Albion balloon, from the rounds of Cremorne House, Chelsea. At the time r. Green entered the car, the rain poured in tor. rents, and he was advised by many gentlemen nor to ascend, but he replied thai he was determined in spite of wind and weather to make an ascent rather than disappoint the expectant public. To take up the fireworks which had been prepared by the ar- tist of Cremorne House, Mr. Green found was im- possible, as they were completely saturated with rain. The balloon, which took at first a direction almost due north, was visible for some time, from the sant emitted by the lamps which Mr. Green had rovided to assist him in his descent, After travel- ing through the storm for an hour, in the most un- | doubt. Several hundred people have already tested pleasant predicament, he eflected a safe descent, at i o'clock, in a field at Harrow, aided by four young ladies, who had followed the balloon for ‘some miles. Mr Green calculates that at least a ton of water must have fallen during his voyage trom the balloon, By ascending during rain he carries with this balloon an additional weight of about 350 pounds by the netting and silk becoming saturated, consequently he did not take up above 200 weight of ballast. ‘The balloon having been packed up, and a conveyance procured, Mr. Green returned to town at about three o’clock yesterday morning. He will ascend to-night from the Waterloo ground at about ten o'clock, with fireworks of a splendid and extra- ordinary, character, moskingeniouslycontrived by Harby, the celebrated pyrotechnist and artist to the rdens. ‘The balloon will likewise § “the bude” and a variety of colored lights. be illuminated J co, a second-hand de siderably increased in proportion in the first six mouths of the present year. Tue Kine or Pruseta’s Toasr ar Brunt --The } Moniteur Belge contains the following, uader date, | Cologne, 13th August: The following are the exact words of the toast which the King of Prussia gave yesterday at the dinner at Bruhl, and which was received with the hyeliest enthusiasm by the august guests:—‘Sirs,—Fill your glasses to the brim! The burthen of the toast is a word (wn cri) which resounds with an inexpressible charm in all British and German hearts. One day it sounded as the sign of a fraternity of arms, triumphant upon a field of battle with difficulty gained. This day, alter a peace of thirty years’ duration, the fruit of | those arduous days, it resounds in the lands of Ger- many, on the banks of the noble stream of the Rhine. ‘That word is— Victoria! Sirs, empty your slasses to the bottom. The toast is her Majesty, the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. Long live che Queen Victoria and her illustrious Consort.’” Caprure oF A Siaver.—We read in the ‘“Jour- nal dw Havre,” ot August 14th, the following ac- count of the capture of a well known slaver:—We learn by a letter, dated Mozambique, the 16th of May, that on the 26th of April, the British brig ot war Mutine, of 12 guns, having perceived a suspi- cious looking vessel, prowling in this passage, gave her chase; during the pursutt the Mutine ran unfor- tunately ashore on the bar of Quillimane, The crew tnmediately set to work to draw the brig from her dangerous position, but during the two hours of work and fatigue, which were required to get her ifloat, the suspicious vessel had set all sails and nearly disappeared. ‘The chase, however, was re- sumed,and every moment brought the Mutine closer to the siaver. Finally,atter seven hours,she succeed- ed in intercepting her, and perceived that she had to deal with the celebrated Brazilian slaver ‘Princeza Imperial,” but the latter, in order to deceive her pursuers, and see ng no other means of escape, hoisted the Star Spangled Banner. This stratagem dia not succeed, however, she waa too well known to escape the British cruiser; she was boarded and captured without much resistance. Shé is a vessel of 400 tons, had already made three consecutive voyages to Santos, Brazil, having imported there 2400 slaves. At the time of her capture, she was yreparing to receive from & to 900 blacks. The Princere was entrusted to the care of Lieut. Packen- ham, to be taken to Sierra Leone; she had already been chased by several cruisers, but her superior speed had, heretofore, always saved her. Tits Pranororre Tavout 1x One Minvre.—When the discovery of teaching music by colors was first made known by its author, D. D. Jameson, through the medium of a book entitled Colour Muste, i seemed most incredible, by reason of the short space of time therein stated a8 necessary to acquire the faculity of playing from sight, and as such it was treated as & mere theory, or at the best, an ‘amusing notien of the moment. It is now nearly a year ago since such work appeared ; and at the present mo- ment this startling fact is every day receiving cor? roboration at the Adelaide Gallery. This may smack of the marvellous, but when the simple na- | ture of the means used are understood, the matter becomes one of admiration, but no longer one of the principle, and amongst these many children who never betore touched the keys of a pianoforte ; and it is to a degree startling to hear the correctness and harmony elicited by a first attempt. It should be understood that the keys of the pianoforte are colored, to various lengths, to correspond with sim- ilar colors in’ the pouks color being note, height | being octave, and length being time.—Globe. | Onicins or Distinauisnen Persons.—Under this title, says the Journal du Havre, the Morning Post | publishes an historical account of the social condi- | tion of the notabilities of all times, with this epi- graph, “ truth is stranger than fiction.” Moses was a shen ; Noah, a farmer ; Confucins, a carpen- ter; Mohamet the Prophet, a donkey driver ; Me- hemet Ali, a barber ; the actual Emperor of Moroc- aler ; Bernadotte, the late King of Sweden, was a surgeon inthe garrison of a Martineau, at the time of the invasion of the Bri Yesterday und the day tis ; Mrs. Bernadotte, a washerwoman in Paris ; NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEP leon, who came from an obscure Corsican printer ; President Boyer, a mulatto barber ; Presi- dent Tyler, @ Captain of Militia ; Oliver Cromwell, a er; President Polk, an inn-keeper ; the | father-in-law to. Isabelle. Queen of Spain, husband to Christina, and fathe .a-law to the King of Na- pes, was formerly a cuflee-house waiter; General Espurtero, was a sexton; King Christophe of Hayt. a slave inthe Island of St Kitts; the actual Pre dent of Hayti, was equally a slave ; Bolivar, a drug- gist; General Paez, a herdsma Vi de Gama, acommon sailor; Christophe Colomb, a sailor also; Louis Philippe, a school-master in’ Switzerland, Boston and Havanna ; Catherine, the ipress of Russia, was a sutler in a regiment; the actual Gov- ernor of the Island of Madeira, was a tailor ; and the actual Minister of Finances in Vortugal, was only a wine merchant in Madeira. Atthis ti me, Marqueses, Counts, Viscounts, and Barons, former- ly cooks, tailors, barbers, cobblers, street-sweepers, and mulattoes. This goes to show that individuals who left the lowest ranks of society, have arrived to the highest degrees of honor, power and fortune, and have monopolized thrones, crowns and ultars. Was Brutus, before he became Brutus, anything else but a Brute? Huarrs, Hanns ann Surrtinas.—Daniel O’Con- nell, the other day, addressing a mob which he had convened at Galway, is reported to have expressed himself as follows “T want every man’s shilling, and [will tell you why; because there is a heartand hand behind eve- ry shilling. I want the hearts and hands of every ian,” We have no doubt that Mr. O'Connell wants eve- ry man’s shilling; and we wish we could say as much of every other assertion that has been made by that geatleman. In particular, we should be ve- ry glad if we could believe the sequel to this very statement How difficult it seems to be to the Agi- tator to utter an entirely credible sentence. He says that he wants every man’s shilling, because there 13 a heart and a hand behind the coin in ques- tion O'Connell isnota simpleton, whatever he 1s; and we are sure that it is no nonsensical reason for which he wants every man’s shilling. Every man’s shilling would come to more milion of pounds sterling than we are ina positiontoreckon. A great many people besides Mr. O'Connell would be very glad’ot every, not to say any, man’s shilling. How- ever, when iis Unacknowledged Majesty tells us thathe wants the hearts and hands of every man, this, dguin, is a declaration which we can receive with some little allowance | to reappear in a * breeches part”—the “little devil, | a character which she formerly played with great We take it that he wants the hearts and hands as represented by the shilling. Shillings we presume are, according to Mr. O’Connell, counters that stand for hands and hearts. But isit absolutely necessary that those counters should be silver? “Would not bone be less expensive to the poor Irish? But why stop ata shilling? At that rate it 1s only sixpence for the hand, and sixpence for the heart; and there’s nothing left for the head. But Mr. O'Connell knows too well it is only by keepmg an Trishman’s head in ignorance of what his hand and heart are led to do, that, when he_ sends round the hat, he canmake sure of his shilling. —Puneh. American Affairs. [From London Post, Ang. 21.) The absorption of Texes into the great North Ameri can Republic has now become a meusure so probable, that without any violence to those decencies that should regulate all discussions ae reference to foreign states, we may intimate our belief that whatever may have been the feebleness, the faults, or the follies, of the Mexican Government, this accession to the territory of the United States cannot be viewed with any thing like approval by Europe genorally. Without doubt at all, it is freeto any independent state—and Texas, after her recognition as such by us, isas far as we arecon- cerned, an independent state—without doubt, we say, it is free to any independent state to surrender her inde- pendence and to merge herself in another,anyother state to whom she feels a disposition of “annexation.” No pur- pose is it of ours to blame, or for one moment to chide the Texans that they have adopted this course. It would be idle to withhold the admission that, being a separate State, it was within the legitimate rights of Texas to unite herself with the United States, if in the view of ‘Texas that union promised benefit to herself. * * * * It wasafree act whether wise or no. Whatever in- terests of ours may be compromised by such an ar- rangement, we take it that we have no right either to interfere or to complain. {t may be that those who have sought to rival us inso many markets—who even dared to dispute with us the supremacy of the seas—it might be, und possibly enough it is, that these American States will by the addition of Texas multiply their resources and increase their power. Possibly all these gloomy ap- prehensions will be realized. But even then,we arefor- ced in references to Texasato confess that no’ reasonable ground of quarrel exists between us and America. An | evil is incurred which, if our diplomacy sought to avert, our diplomacy has failed in averting; and we must needs regard the annexation of Texas in a truly philosophic ligitt, as a thing which, seeing it cannot be cured, must for that reason be endured. We argue this because we have noted a strong desire prevalent for war with Ameri- ca; and we argue this, not because we dread a war with America,or because we fear its issue if it should indeed occur, but becanse we do strongly desire that whenever it should be the fate of this country to be involved in a war, it should be in a war having an inttel.igible object and a laudable purpose. ‘The notion of going to war to protect a revolted province of Mexiso against itself ix a notion which is proper to men to whom war is a source of gain, War, like other games in such a case, would not be worth its candle, to say nothing of its gunpowder. It has been said, and it is most likely with truth, that Lord Aberdeen has declined interfering iu this affair of Texas If Lord Palmerston had exhibited an equal degree of for- bearance, his character as a diplomatist would not have greatly suffered. But this forbearance did not c with his busy, meddling, impertinent, and in| policy. Seeking to create what his Frenzh fri so dearly, “a sensation,” he has complicated beyond ception questionsjin themselves sufficiently complicated Let Texas be an evidence. When Mr. Canning recog- nized the independence of the revolted provinces 0 Spai —soeking in the New World the balance for the ,0¥ ot the Old, certainly no view of hisat | was it to sui the empire that once had owned the » y of Montezuma to forfeit one of its choicest members. It was Mr. Can- ning’s intention, in «/yising his Sovereign to acknow- ledge as Independent States these rebel colonies of Spain that these colonies should acquire such an importance and dignity as that they should be enabled to assume the place due to their wealth, to their population. and to their geographical position. Wisely done or unwisely done, Mr. Canning’s policy was clearly expounded and reso- Iutely carried out, and, without offering any o to its wisdom, we cannot help recognising in Mr. Can- ning’s course evidence that he had well considered the position of affairs with which he had undertaken to deal How does all this affect, it may be asked, the present ‘Texan question? Just so far, is the reply, as this, that in desiring that the Spanish Gclonies should take their places amongst the free ites of the world, it was no wish of Mr. Canning that a new power should be given to the Umted States—no wish of his that that most over: grown and not most respectable of democracies should draw to itselfa territory that should enable it with in: creased means ty contest with our own country of thes Still, again, as the point is somewhat too importa’ that in its consideration we should altogether take as our guide the views even of ever the most distinguished statesmen, let us inquire with what purpose, in what way, Texas became detach- ed from Mexico? Abruptly to speak, what is Texas? A band of adventurers from the United States— men of the rifle and the knife—willing to risk their lives in the most precarious pursuits, poured down Upon this unhappy but ill-populated’ country, and ultimately made it to all intents and purposes their own. Amongst them were such as those who dwelt wiih the prince of Israel~ “every one that was in dis- tress and every one that was in debt and every one that was Se eet these and such as these was ‘Texas mainly peopled. These constitute the Texas of our times ; and seeing that these Texans, for so now we must call them, are themselves by birth or adoption citi- wens of the United States, no wonder at all that they manifest such an ardor in favor of annexation to that great republic. Really, the acquisition of Texas, if it ‘was not concocted in Wall street, must have made Wall street abundantly jealous. Somethin scheme that flings into the shade the sharpest of all our, to say nothing of New York, money brokers, pure “Caucasians” thongh they be. To traftic in railway shares is, no doubt, a grand thing ; but to swindle n re- public how much grander! The summit of Judaical am- ition would be, we take it, to cheat a people out of a large territory—and something like this has been done in Texas. Theatricals. Miss Cushman made her debut at our theatre on Monday evening in Milman’s extravagant and ill- constructed tragedy of “Fazio.” The reception given to the transatlantic aciress was hearty in the extreme. ‘The part of Bianca, in which Miss Cush- man appeared, is well adapted to the display of her peculiar style of acting ; her exertions, which were great, were frequently rewarded with enthusiastic applause, and at the close of the tragedy she was called for and cheered to her heart’s content. It is difficult, as the reader will at once perceive, to give an opinion on the merits of a tragic actress upon a single representation ; and therefore, in ven- turing what we think of Miss Cushman, we B. belongs to the has y to aay | do so qualifiedly, and subject to the liberty of amend- ing our opinion on a more intimate’ acquaintance with her powers. Onur present impression is, that she succeeds better in delineating the boisterous passions than those of a tender nature, and that her action is rather remarkable for power than for race, We must unequivocally pronounce Sushman to be superior to any of the actresses who a power which sends the blood thrilling through the veins. Her voice, too, is clear and powerful, her elocution rises at times to an impassioned and com- manding tone, and though her action is hurried and redundant, her attitudes are marked and beautiful, and show off a fine figure to much advanta; Charles Matthews and his wife are now playing at the Surrey, where they receive £100 per week— | paid nightly. ‘Their salary at the Haymarket was only £70 per week, The cause of difference with Webster, is said to have been the retusal of the lady success.

The move- | ment commenced at the Rossplatz, and a crowd | was soon collected there; such grave excesses were committed that, the police not having been able to arrest the perturbators, the intervention of the com- | munal guard and of the troops of the garrison be- came necessary. The windows of the Hotel of Prussia were partly broken with stones, and the ohasseurs having arrived, the perturbators were cs led upon in vain several times to retire; the order was then given to fire. Some persons were killed. The battalions of the communal guard, who jwere convoked by the General, contributed powerfully to the re-establishment of order. After midnight the groups dispersed, and towards three in the morning tranquillity was restored. An inquiry into this atfair has commenced.” ENeuisu Actors in America.—‘‘All the best Eng- lish actors have been here within the last forty years, and we fear there are no more great ones to come.” The above is by an American writer. It is not said in an ill spirit, nor do we reply to it in any such mood ; but it is not true. America had Cooke (when half ruined by drink); Holman (when gettin, old); Cooper, who was, when be went to the Unite States, a promising actor—no more. But the new country never saw John Kemble, Mrs. Jordan, Ed- win, Suett, Parsons, Quick, Storace. Mi s} rs. Siddons, Lewis, Elliston, Emery, Faweett, Wrench, Terry, Yates, W. Farren, Munden, Liston, Jones, Jack Johnstone, Jack Bannister, Lovegrove, or Oxberr’ (the elder), Mrs. Edwin, Mrs. Davison, Miss O'Neil, Miss Foote, Mrs. Mardyn, Mrs. W. West, Mrs. Bunn, Miss Kelly, Mrs. Gibbs, Mrs. Yates, Mrs. Warner. America saw Madame Vestris when from circumstances she was not able to be herself.— Itsaw Dowton and Blanchard wrecks of themselves: heard Incledon and Braham in thew decline. The United States never heard Miss Stephens or Mana Tree, Mrs. Bland or Mrs. Waylett; they never heard the ringing jollity of Mrs. Nisbett, nevergazed on the lovely eyes of Mrs. Honey, or the faultless form of Miss Murray;'they never saw the best of old women, Mrs. Davenport, and that matchless ever- green, Mrs. Glover. In his zenith they had Kean and we are told he never acted continuously so wel as he did daring his first visit to our transatlantic neighbors. They have had Macready twice—once, before he had learnt his tricks, when he did not draw ; and again, after the great tragedian was gone, in the present day attempt to take the lead in trage- dy. 6 BAYS ror the heart, she is a creature of impulee, ani when he did.

Mathews acted but little in the States—mumicry paid him better. Taking a range of only 35 years,we can enumerate upwards of 40 of our greatest actors and actresses that never visited New York. What becomes, then, of the assertion that we have quoted above? Mrs. Bartley (who never was a great actress) went abroad in the de- cline of life ; and Mrs. Whitlock, though a Kemble, was a water-color copy of her sister. A truly rich comic actress in old England’s genuine comedies America has yet to see. Some of the cleverest ac- tors amongst us, not the greatest, have crossed the water ; Booth, Wallack, Brown, Vandenhoti, Buckstone, Mrs. Fitzwilliam, are all good names, but there is no leviathan amongst them. Moreover, Jonathan is determinedly a star gazer ; and has ne. cer had, since the first theatre was built, a good stock company. He has had the greatest Othello, (Kean) the greatest Murabel, (C. Kemble) the best William Tell, (Macready); but who have represented Jago and Cassio to the first, Duretette and Bizarri to the nd, Michael and Gesler to the third? If the casts were Weak in these comparatively easy plays, what must they be in Julius Czsar, Henry the Fourth, Merchant of Venice, School for Scandal, Henry the Eighth, &c.? Power (a name we have omitted) was only a farceur; he failed utterly in Sir Lucius, Dennis Bulgruddery, and Major O*Fla- herty; in fact, he ouly succeeded in one and two act monologues. The singers patronised in the new country have been Madame Caradori, Mrs. Austin, Mrs. A. Gibbs, Mrs Seguin, Miss Povey, Miss Shir- retf and Mrs. Wood; the two latter alone were in the first rank here. America has sentus a tragedi- an, about whom opinions are balanced. [t has sent us as yet no comedian, at least no one_who has ta- ken a stand in the legitimate drama. It has sent us no singer, male or female, no pantomimist, no musi- cian, po machinist and no scene painter. en in the article of actresses, whose faults are forgotten when you look upon their faces, we find a sad defi- ciency. In fact, Jonathan does not export his beau- ties. America has not seen our best actors, nor (with a few exceptions, Kean, Macready, Mathews and Ellen Tree, particularly,) not even our second best. Cowell, Burton, Wilkinson, W. H. Williams, Chippendale, Mitchell, Thorne, (he was a singer here, he’s a Keeley there,) Holland, are funny fel- lows, but were not reckoned even good second rates with us. America has rejoiced in such useful ac- | tors as Held, Archer, Fredericks, Mathews, Abbott | (sometimes a trifle above the standard we have | named) De Campt, Howard ; clever, but not great singers, such as Horn, Pearman, Segnin, Frazer, Thorne, Edwin, and H. Horncastle. We confess that America has fostered English histrionic talent. Actors, musicians, and scene-painters have been welcomed ; but she has not had our greatest acto: or actresses. She has not had Loder, sen., T. Cooke, Mountain, Balfe, or Hughes, as leaders ; nor Stanfield, Roberts, or Grieve, as artists.—London Sunday Temes, Aug. 17.

Sexiovs Reticiovs Riors at Lerrsic.—Aeccounts from Germany give a deplorable account of the state of Saxony and other parts of Germany in conse- quence of the religious excitement whieh prevails in | that country, and which is every day increasing. On the 12th August a very serious riot broke out at Leip- | and sic,and,aecording to the latest accounts, that city was | still in a state of the gi Prinee John of Suxony,the general in command of the Communial Guards arrived at Leipsig to review the guards. An immense crowd of the inhabitants assembled on the occasion, who received the Prince on his arrival on the grouad with shouts, hooting. and cries of “Viva Ronge,” “Viva Robert Blum,” | and “Down with the Jesuits.” The German Unvversal Gazette has the following from Leipsic, dated the 1th :—** Yesterday, at five | o'clock, another meeting of burgesses and students | tuok place. The reports of the events of the 12th and it was resolved to protest against the tissue of falsehoods; but the definitive resolution was adjourn- | ed to Saturday. M. Bluin directed the attention of the meeting to what he regarded as the most essen- tial point, viz: the interment of the victims. Depu- tatious were sent to the municipal authorities, to ask for the town colors; to the staff of the communal guards, inviting it toattend the ceremony; to the mili- tary staff, to remonstrate on the conduct of the troops during the day, and to ask them to confine them to their barracks the next day; and to the railroad ter- minus, to receive the deputation returning from | res- den with the King’s answer The meeting next made a collection to defray the necessary expenses. | The sitting was suspended for on hour. The mea- { sures of the committee received the general approba tion, The fannulies ot the victims determiued to have but one funeral ceremony for all, with the ex- ceplion of M. Mortmann, of whore body an autopsy was to be made, in consequence of hits family havin lodged an action for tis death. The depntatton | from Uresden entered the ball at half past mine. It | was supposed that the cortege would muster 20,000 | men. The committee fulfilled their mission admi rably Every thing passed over this morning at seven o’clock in the utmost order, At five o’clock this morning the Fletcher Platz was crowded with persons assembled to take partin the tuseral ceremony. The procession began to move at seven It consisted of the communal horse guards ; a bat talion of the communal foot guards; the students, in sections; the band of the ‘ith battalion; the flag of the University; the commuttee ; the armorer’s | company; another band; the various deputations of the trades ; an immense train of burgesses and students, with flags, and a detachment of the com- munal guards. ‘The cortege proceeded along in the greatest silence, except in passing the chateau, where cries and threats were uttered. Some dis: | turbance had been feared here, but nothing took place. In the cemetery, the coffins were placed side hy side in the same grave, and speeches were de- livered over them. The crowd withdrew in the ut- most order ” Another letter of the same date says—The depu- tation of the Municipal Council and the delegates of the city have returned from Dresden. The King, who received them at noon, was affected to tears. His Majesty said that this event was one of the most cruel trials of his life, and that he was the more grieved that such an event. should have occurred in Saxony, and particularly in Leipsic, as he and his family had always put up the most ardent prayers for the good of the country, without violating their duty. His Majesty added, that he was the more hurt as the address of the Municipal Council con- tained passages which seemed to indicate distrust. Tur Beernoven Monument.—The inauguration | of the Beethoven monument at Bonn, commenced on Monday. The musical performances were under the direction of Sphor. There were fireworks on the Rhine in the iia i On Monday evening the crowning glory of the musical commemoration, viz., the solemn inaugura tion of the statue of Beethoven, inthe Munster Platz, took place. The whole place was crowded, and the brilliant hues of countless flags and banners which were displayed on every side, and glittering arms and accoutrements of the military flashing through the trees in the sunlight, mingled ‘with the fantastic and grovesque dresses of the students, and the showy liveries of the Royal attendants, formed an extreme- ly gorgeous and novel scene. ‘The King of Prussia, (Queen Victoria, and Prince Albert, with their usual suites, arrived by the railroad from Bruhl, at twelve o’clock, and proceeded thence in the Royal carriages to the house of M. Von Ferstenberg, situated at the bottom of the Platz, where a light and elegant bal- cony, fastefully draped with crimson cloth and gold lace, was prepared for their accommodation. ‘he inaugural address was pronounced by Dr. Breiden- for the occasion by the same professor, which was beautifully executed. ‘The statue was then suddenly uncovered, and this was the signal tor a loud burst of enthusiasm, which was increased, but not over- powered, by a salute of artillery, the band perform- ing one of Beethoven’s favorite melodies. _ On Tuesday morning there wasa musical per- formance in the King’s Gardens, in the university, and the steamboat “Ludwig Von Beethoven” was christened in the presence of the authorities of the town and the leading musical artistes, and at two o'clock an excursion took place to Nonn2werth, as been previously arranged. A ‘The second grand concert took place on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the third and last grand concert took place. It commenced with Liszt's festal canta- ta, composed in honor of the Beethoven festival, which was very eflectively performed. Just at the close of the cantata their Majesties the King and Queen of Prussia, Queen Victoria, and Prince Al- bert arrived. The Royal party advanced up to the centre aisle to the seats reserved for them at the top of the hall, next to the orchestra. ‘There was no cheering, the immense auditory standing quedy and respecttully in their places till their Majesties were seated. The orchestra then played the English na- tional anthem, the leading singers of both sexes tak- ing partinit. At the request of her Majesty, Liszt again played the festal cantata, and the result of the previous rehearsal, as it may be termed, enabled them to accomplish it with much better effect. The Queen paid marked attention to the performances daring her stay, and prince Albert recognized several ot the musical professors near him, and courteously addressed them, The rest of the day was comme- morated by public dinners, at which many of the leading singers and musicians, trom ail parts of Europe were present, and the might closed with mu- sic and dancing. Poland. The Constitutionnel contains the following article relative to the state of Poland—‘‘Every day ukases more and more rigorous press upon unfortunate Po- land. The following is the most recent. against de- sertion ; ‘Any family concealing a deserter, a mem- ber of such family, or the parish to which he be- longs, shall furnish two recruits for the one conceal- ed; the deserter shall suffer the punishment prescri- bed by military law, and afterwards be reinstated in the army. _ In case the family cannot furnish two members of it fit for service, the parish shall be sub- jected to the expense, for having sf Soha to deliv- er up the deserter. Should it ever happen that the parish cannot furnish two persons fit for service,the heads of the culpable families shall receive a certain number of lashes, and be sent into Siberia. This ukase can but have for its end the depopulating of the kingdom of Poland.’ ” Greece, Accounts from Greece, via Trieste, state that the disorders on the frontiers still continued. At Athens it was considered probable that 4 coalition would take place between Metaxa and Mavrocor- dato, betore which Colletti would be forced to give way. India. ‘The Overland Mail arrived in London on the 20th instant. ‘The cholera had re-appeared at almost every s tion in Western India, and had committed most frightful ravages on the native inhabitants, although the number of its European victims had been com- paratively small.

The rebellion of Peshara Singh was beco- ming every day more formidable. The great body of the Royal troops has, it is said, refused to take up arms against him.

The news from Scinde is altogether of a pa- cific character, although the fact that the reinforce- ments had been demanded at Shalipoor had given rise to warlike romors.
