But the fine weather which has. jailed during the last two or three weeks, | has in @ great measure saved the crops; weather | more propitious for harvest operations cannot be | imagined, and in all directions the farmers have | been taking advantage of it. A great:deal of the outstanding wheat and oats have been secured, and if the unfavorable change should continue, it cannot be productive of much Serious injury. But the long continued wet,and the absence of warmth, have operated injuriously upon the quality as well as the quantity of the new crops.

Judkins, trom Liverpool, with advices to the 19th ult., arrived on Thursday at Boston at half past five o’clock afternoon. Our advices are from Liverpool of the 19th, Lon- don of the 18th, and Paris of the 16th ult. The cotton market was in a healthy state. The news is not of the highest :mportance. One of the most interesting pieces of intelligence by this arrival is that relative to the Mexican let- ters of marque. ‘The impression in Europe, and par- ticularly in Great Britain, was strong that Mexico had declared war against the United States, thay many merchants had despatched fast sailing vessels to the Gulf to obtain authority to pirate upon Ame- rican commerce. [From Dublin Mercantile Advertiser, The last accounts from Mexico show, that how- ever much the Mexican Government may be dis- sed for war against the United States, they sorely lack the means. It is by the issue of letters of marque to privateers, that any serious annoyance can be given to the trade of the United States. We have learned that a number of vessels have proceed- ed to Mexico, to be employed as privateers. The Shamrock, which has been for some years a reve- nue cruiser on the Irish station, and had been known at Kingstown as one of the fastest boats in the squad- ron, was sold by the government some. months sincé. She subsequently proceeded to Liverpool, whence, two or three weeks since, she sailed for Mexico, the owners intending to take out letters of marque for the privateer service. ‘The present excited state of affairs, says the Eu- ropean Times, in the United States, arising out of Mexiean dispute, and the feeling which has been evoked there to prevent a speedy and satisfactory adjustment of the Oregon question—these combined causes are said to have determined the government to increase materially our force in Canada and the North American colonies. Such is the current ru- mor of the day. American securities were inactive—flat as a pan- cake. On the 9th ultimo, a pugilistic contest for the championship of England took place be- tween Caunt and Bendigo, for £200. The men fought ninety-three rounds in two hours and ten minutes, when Bendigo was declared the win- ner by the referee; but the decision is disputed by Caunt, and the battle money is at present withheld, This sport, once so popular in England, has been for a number ot years on the decline. The Queen has returned from her German tour ; and, to cement still stronger the intimate personal friendship which has sprung up between her and Lonis Philippe, she called, on her way home, at the Chateau d’Eu, and passed a night or two under the hospitable roof ot the Citizen King.

A bathing maehine was the only avail- able conveyance at hand for landing Queen Victoria onthe dominions of her powerful neighbor, and in this frail thing of planks the ‘ anointed” monarchs embraced, with a becoming sense of the ludicrous. The newspaper reporters, wlio followed the Queen’s route in Germany, were furnished by the Duke of Saxe Coburg with a house, carriages, ope- ra boxes, servants, a splendid table, and all other requisites!!!

Skiddy, New York, Liverpool, and Sid- dons, from New York, were all anticipated by the Royal Mail steamer Hibernia, which arrived on the 18th at7A.A. The passengers by this magni- ficent ship were forwarded to London by our: ress, which place they reached the same evening. ‘he Great Britain arrived on the 15th, at 7A M. Her passengers, in a lengthy address, which we regret we have not room for, express their ratifi- cation with the ease and accommodation of the ves- sel, and their opinion that the greatest speed of which the veseel is capable has not been attained during this vayage, owing toa want of sufficient steam to work the engines tu the power for which they are calculated. \ . This detect, we understand, is now being reme- died under Capt. Hosken’s direction. To the Com- manders of all the vessels we are under great obli- gations for the early and punctual forwarding of our papers.—European Times. Lavina pown or THE New York Liver.—lf there is a subject of importance to the commercial community of Liverpool, as well as to the world at large, it must be that of advancing the universal mercantile interest of our port, and it gives us great gratification to record &n epoch unparallelled in our (ee is that of transferring trom New York to iverpool the willl of the line of packets—it is that of transferring their material from timber to iron—it is that of adding to them the power availa- ble in all weather, the screw propeller. These are also many apparent advantages in the vessel now laid down that will open to the Steam Navigation of the world a course hitherto unprecedented, and. that will, we trust, as water is fhe superabundant body, surpass the present progress of locomotion on land. The Americans have long been enabled to keep the field against us in this and other important branches of navigation, owing to the cheapness of building materials in that country, and to the supe- rior sailing qualities of their vessels. Should, how- ever, the projects at present in progress succeed, the tide must be turned in favour of our own vessels. Yet their importance does not rest here; we see in them the seeds of a total change in the mercantile aavy of this country, which must add much to its maritime strength. , The dimensions of the new Liner are as follows:—Length of keel, 188 feet, Beam, 32 feet, Depth to main deck, 20 feet; Ditto to spar deck, 7 feet 3 inches; Tonnage, 0. m., 984 tons; n. m. 1317 tons; power 180 horses, Mr Grantham’s patent direct action principle. The screw to be employed as patented by Mr. Wood- croft. Models and plans of the vessel were laid out in the mould room, and excited muchattention. The torm of the vessel 1s very weil adapted for the object intended, and is expected to steam 7 or 8 knots with- out sails, and though lightly sparred she will, no doubt, be a very fast sailer. The average state ol sailing, will not, therefore, be far short (if at all) of the regular steamers, besides having the advantage of carrying large cargoes ata light expense. Afte* providing the Bale space for the engines, about 21 day’s coals, and ample state cabins for six- ty passengers, she will still have room for upwards of 1000 tons measurement. f Captain Thompson, of the Stephen Whitney, (who is to command the vessel,) and Messrs. M’Tear and Hadfield are the principal owners. The vessel was designed by Mr. Grantham, and is building under his superintendance. Messrs. Bury, Curtis and iKen- nedy are to supply the engines. Another large vessel for the Brazil trade almost ready for launching, is also building by Messrs Jas Hodgson and Co., from Mr. Granthain's plans, and has been much admired; she is also to be worked wis to the New York vessel—Liverpool Tele- graph. Fast Inpta anp American Corron.—Some influ- ential parties in London, connected with the Anu- Slavery Association, are urging Sir Robert Peel to stimulate and give extra encouragement to the growth of cotton and sugar in our Indian posses- sions ; with this view they have presented a long and well written memorial to the Minister, who fas promised, through-his secretary, Mr. Arbuthnot, to give it his consideration and careful attention. The present movement appears to be dictated by a nar- row policy, that would encourage the old systems of protection and bounties, to which the sentiments of the present age have shown a growing disinclina- tion. Importation oF JorgiGN Grain.—It is stated that orders have been sent out tromthis country within the last two months, to the amount of three mil- lions sterling, for the importation of foreign grain, under the expectation that it will be required before the harvest of 1846, either to be mixed with Eng- lish geain, or to be used separately. Exatisu Crops —With the exception of a few partial showers in different parts of the country, the weather has continued uninterruptediy fine; har- Vest operations have consequently been rapidly pro- ceeded with, and in most ot the southern counties the bulk of the corn has been carried. In the north of England there is still a considerable quantity of grain abroad; but the lately experienced sunny days have brought the crops forward amazingly, and in situations where a month back it was feared the corn would never arrive at maturity, the sickle has lately been actively employed. On the whole, our prospects as to the future have undergone an im- mense improvement since the 20th of August, but to suppose that the evil effects of a decidedly wet sum- mer have been entirely remedied would be altogeth- er unreasonable. ‘That a great proportion of the wheat of this year’s growth will be ot inferior quali- ty and light weight is unquestionable, nor 18 it pos- sible that the deficiency trom the defective set of the lly complained of, can have been made good; we must, therefore, adhere to the opinion al- ready expressed on former occasions, viz, that be- sides the talling off in meal in conseqnence of the want of weight and otherwise inferior mealing pro- fares of the berry, the acreable produce will be ound short of an average. It is yet too early to form any thing like an accurate estimate as to the extent ot the deficieacy.—Marklane Exp., Sept. Wb. Te Harvest on rae Coxtinent.—The harvest was proceeding favorably in Germany ; the yield of wheat is generally moderate, some important dis+ triets being bad, Particalariy in Eust Prussia and Po- sen Galicia and Cracovia; in Pommerania and Mecklenburgh the quality is goed. ‘The mine erops have failed extensively in the North of turope, and the potato disease is now general; we have not heard of any country north of the forty-fifth eegree of latitude which has escaped the vailing disease, which appears not to be confined to particular soils | or particular sorts of potatoes, terruptedly until Tuesday last. Since then the ele- | algo, for $2,000, In consequence of the great interest excited in this country relative to the particulars and result of this affair, we have been induced to give a much fuller account, than we otherwise would have done. In addition to the amount of money pending, the championship of England, or “the belt,” as re- spects pugilism, is tue reward of the victor. There is every reason to believe, that the successful man on this occasion, will have several other powerful opponents to contend against, ere he be allowed to retain the victor’s garland in peace. [From the Sunday Times, Sept. 14.) The match which, ever since the 17th of April last, on which day it was made, has excited an ex- traordinary degree of interest, increasing in intensi- ty as the period for its decision approached, was brought to a conclusion on Tuesday last, in a field close to Sutfield Green, beyond Lillingston Level,in the county of Oxford, we regret to record under cir- cumstances whieh are far from calculated to sustain the pion of British boxers, still less to dignify the office of pampion of England.” There was considerable difficulty in selecting ground for the af- fair, owing to the interference of the authorities,and ebjections of the parties, but at length the above named spot was selected. When the ring wasformed considerable violence took place by a gangof or- ganized rowdies, who appeared determined to rule the roast for the day. Indeed, long before the fight was over, all those who were ut first content to seat themselves on the grass, as peaceable spectators, were obliged to assume the ferro cua and those who could nouresist the fearful crushes from with- out, were glad to retire to the rear, and to be content with a casual squint at the combatants, while the umpires and referee were at times so completely overwhelmed as to be obliged to fly within the ropes and stakes for protection. | Caunt was the first to make his appearance on the ground, attended by Molyneux (the black) and Jem Turner as his seconds, Ben Butler (Caunt’s uncle) having charge of the bottles. He was loudly cheer- ed, and was in high spirits. Bendigo attended by Nick Ward and Jack Hannan, Jem Ward and Jem Burn next arrived, and the most deafening shouts proved the extent of his popularity, while the Not- tingham “ roughs” flourishing their sticks, and surrounding the ropes andstakes, evinced a. spirit of partisanship. After the first ebullition had sub- sided, Caunt and Bendigo shook hands, and the toss tor choice of corners took place. This was won b Caunt, who took the higher ground with his hte to the sun, while Bendigo, having ‘“ Hobson’s choice,” was constrained to take the opposite cor- ger, the sun shining fullin his face. On stripping, the contrast between the men was extraordinary.— Caunt, as compared with Bendigo, presented a gi- gantic aspect, while his huge limbs,divested of their customary covering of flesh, had amost singular ap- pearance. Hisribs were as palpable as those ofagrey- found, and his long arms, thighs, and legs, covered only with well proportioned muscles and sinews,gave him the appearance of perfect condition. His face, too, hada most Jextraordinary expression, as he said himself, offering plenty of bony substance on whieh Bendigo might crack his knuckles. His hair was cut remarkably short, and his ancient scars standing forth undisguised, gave a character to his mug far removed from the poet’s description of Ado- nis. Still his eyes were bright, and there was an ex- pression of good humor in his lank and pale phiz, that showed perfect self-possession and internal con- fidence. His weight but little exceeded 14st, and his height, rendered more striking from the dimi- nution in his bulk, was exactly six feet two inches anda half. Bendigo offered an aspect much more agreeable; his complexion was clear and, tresh-co- tored, while his frame generatly‘showed perfect health; his weight, we were informed, was 11 stones 10 pounds. His grey eyes were bright and sparkling, and his manner eccentric, but’ confi- dent. There is a natural restlessness about him, which was by no means diminished on this ocea- sion, and he had evidently made up his mind, by every dodg» of which he was master, to steal upon his opponent, and to escape from the effects of his tearful physical superiority. He saw that he was lh supported by his friends, and it was clear that he was by no means dismayed at the fear- full odds in height and length to which he was about io be opposed. On his side were ranged Jem Ward and Jem Burn, while Tom Spring stood alone the counsel of Caunt, a duty which he performed with modest firmness, although his objections were over- ruled, and his head more than once in danger o1 collision with the Nottingham twigs, of which, un- luckily, he gota taste. The odds, for there had been a good deal of betting, may be quoted at 6 to 4 on Caunt. Tue Four. Rowxp 1, Caunt very eager, his adversary cautious ; Caunt tried his left, but did not reach his man.

Bendi met him as he came, with a severe blow beneath the eight eye, which cut the cheek to the bone. The blood came, but not in a stream, the stunning effect of the hit preventing it. Caunt append more surprised than pleased, but rushed in. Bendigo hung upou his man in the struggle at the ropes, and at length got down. (Shouts tur the hero of Nottingham, who won the event of first blood, and cries of “ He'll win it in a canter” from his friends, but no betting.) Caunt seemed cooler and less anxious.

Caunt, who seemed much aggrieved, strode about the ring like a chafed lion, The fight lasted, we think, two hours and twelve minutes; but as ume was taken by different watches, it might be a minute or two more or less. The ropes, &c., were down in a moment, and the men taken to their respective carriages. Turner doing all in his power to console Caunt; Bendigo, of course, had a host of congratuiators; he remained very culiected, and though a good deal exhausted, appeared able to continue the contest much longer. lt was now a quarter past six, and a second fight, especially between such lasting bits of stuff as Muley and Merriman, was out of the question. ‘The newspapers and principal supporters of pu-, gilists, with a majority of the most respectable of them, are most indignant at the whole aftair. They | say it was anything but a fair fight, and that it was | one of the most disgracetul occurrences that have | taken place in that country for many years. The | Sunday Tumes, one of the leading sporting journals ot Europe, thus speaks of the affair:—“There were many foreigners on the ground. What must be their impression of the British character—of the men who are styled the brave, the bold, the eman- cipators of the slave, the terror of most nations, and the envy of the world?

Gorna, Saturday, 30th August. —'To-day the royal party were entertained with a spectacle which must have been a novelty to many of them. It was a spe- cimen, on a very grand scale, of what in this coun- try appears to be considered as sporting, but which is in fact the wholesale destruction of deer driven into a confined space for the purpose, and deprived of all chance of escape. Theycall it here a deer- hunt’ We in England would call it butchery, for it has none of the characteristics of that noble sport. It 18, however, the mode of sporting adopted in the country, and which has in some shape or other ex- | sted for centuries ; and, however repugnant it may | be to English tastes and feelings, those who resort | to it do not seem to assoeiate with it any idea of un- | necessary cruelty, or to be aware that in thus depri- | ving the object of apart of the power of indulging its | instinet of flight, they are losing one at least of the » | great charms of sporting—the excitement of pursuit |” Easy chairs were placed in a pavilion for the | Queen and the royal party, to witness the work of | destruction—how truly sportsman-like—and, as soon | as the party were comtortably arranged, the process | of driving in the deer commenced. This was per- | formed bya set of tame-looking persons, in long- skirted coats and white wands. A very little, how- ever, will alarm the timid deer, and alter the drivers had applied themselves a short time to their task. small herds of panting, frightened creatures might be seen pouring into the enclosure, where ihe vain- ly sought a hiding place. There they were allowed to stay for the present, for the work of slaughter had not yet commenced ; and the hand played a variety of polkas. a Sunpay, August 31—This was, comparativel speaking, a dies non, as far as regards the proceed- ings of the Court party. Her Majesty, the Prince, and the whole Court attended divine service at the | Church of St. Augustina, at Gotha. There was nothing remarkable in the service, which wascon- ducted according to the Lutheran mode. The building itself is not one of the ornaments of the | city—it isan ugly mass outside, and the interior is | greatly disfigured with white paint, whitewash and gilding. The three galleries which run round the interior give this sacred edifice somewhat the ap- pearance of a playhouse. The heat was intense, | and the disinclination to open windows, which per- vades the whole of Germany, reduced the atmos phere to astate of salubrity only to be equalled by that of the Black-hole at Calcutta. After church the Queen and Prince Albert, together with the Duchess of Saxe Coburg, and the Queen of the Belgians, drove out to see two ruined cases in the neighbor-. hood, Tentershausen and Molsdorfl. The rest of the day was past in quiet and retirement as tar as the inmates of the Palace were concerned, bat_not so | with the inhabitants of Gotha. Here, as at Coburg, the Sunday is kept in a manner which, seceuly as this is a Protestant State, must shock English feel- ings. It wa day not of gloom, but of rejoicing. If the fatigues of the people during the week are far less than those of the same class in England, their relaxation is much greater. After divine service is over inthe morning, the people give themselves up forthe rest of the day to enjoyment. Music is to be heard in almost every house. Crowds of gaily dressed people parade the streets, and the hotels and gasthause are all filled with merry groups, among whom the peasant women, with their singular head dresses, are eonspicuous. Yet, with all this, there isthe most pertect good order, not the slightest symptoin of drunkenness, or its usual attendants— ill-temper and disturbance. c . Monpay, Sept. Ist-—To the great interest excited by the visit of Her Majesty among them, the in- habitants now superadded that attaching to the an- nual festival of the Thuringian Musical Society. This festival is called the * Liederteste des Thurin- ger Sangerbunaes,” and this is its third anniversa- ry. It wasto have been held this year in Arnstadt, but in consequence of Her Majesty’s visit the inten- tion wasaltered, and it was appointng to be held in Gotha. ‘The singers from the several States, each preceded by its banner, arrived in Gotha early in the morning. ‘Twenty-one towns and cities sent forth their singers yesterday to greet our Queen. Atabout 4 o’clock, the concert commenced. It opened with a sort ot congratulatory ode to the Queen of England, sufficiently common-place in its diction, but sprightly enough in the musi The composer is Jacobs, of Berlin, Following this com- plimentary ode, came a speech from Pretessor Denn- ardt, of Erfurt, delivered with great energy and expression. It was spoken from the rostrum of the director of the music, and every word was audible The purport ot it was, of course, in the first instance to acknowledge the presence of the Queen of Eng- land at the festival. ‘They could not, he said, enter- tain Her Majesty with the Female splendor which had greeted her at Stolzenfels. There her recep- tion had been kingly—here it wasbut homely. They had nothing to offer her but a simple welcome in the midst of the Thuringian mountains, and their na- tional song. But they desired to congratulate Her Majesty on being inthe country of her ancestors, the birth-place ot her husband ‘and of her mother, the cradle of her family. And here, concluded the speaker, we, this Thuringian Sangerbund, greet thee, Queen Victoria ! A loud cry of “ Hoch !” (the German hurrah) followed, which was instantly ta- ken up by the whole of the spectators and repeated At the close of the performance a German “ Volksgesang,” to the air of * God save the Queen” was sung. It was composed by Professor Welcker, ot Gotua, and sung with all possible Ger- man enthusiasm. As soon as it was over, Her Ma- jesty rose and bowed. At nine in the evening the testival ground was thrown open to the public, anc music Was periormed there up to a lats hour. Her Majesty arrived at Antwerp, on Saturday thr 6th instant, and Was entertained vy his Majesty the King of the Belgians. inthe evening of tnat day uer Majesty emoarked on board the Victoria ano albert yacht, where she passed the night, and sailea on the following morning for Treport, to visit his Majesty the King of the French at the Chateau wk Trerort, Monday, Sept. 8—At the early hou: of tour o’clock this morning, the distant reports oi cannon were heard here, which caused considerable exettementin this tranquil little town. At seven o’clock two steamers were distinguished far off in the east, the most advanced of which appeared to be the Piaton, she was firing to announce the approact: of the Queen of England. All was bustle imme- diately afterwards. I'he toot soluiery, the Cuiras- siers, the Chasseurs, and all the military who hac remaiued here during the night were placed en bat- taile, although it was evident that two hours must elapse ere the Queen could land. By eight o’clock, als Majesty the King ot the French, the Queen, the Princess Adelaide, and indeed all the Members ot the royal Family, arrived inthe grand char-a-banc, tollowed by eight or ten other carriages filled with those distinguished guests and other high persona- ges. The King was in delight, and looked beter | nan he has done for six months. He raised his hat | vigorously, in return to the salutations with which he was received. Half an houratterwards, the Bri- tish steamer, with the Royal standard ot England | displayed, was within a mile of the shore. King | Louis Philippe immediately entered a barge, with a tew attendants, and proceeded to the Courrier | steamer, in which he approached the Victoria and Albert. Irom the Courrier his Majesty descended | into a boat fully manned, and pulled to the Victoria andAlbert. (Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were distinctly visible on the deck, and immediatety after King Louis Philippe was seen toascend. Some lit- tle bustle took place, and then the Royal party were seen to descend into the barge, 1n which they, were rowed tothe shore. Ata quarter past nine o'clock our Queen landed, and was received by her Majesty the Queen of the French, the Prince de Salerno,dc and warmly embraced each other. Never did her Majesty Queen Victoria Sy me in mere muagnifi- cent health. Prinee Albert looked a little pale, but was evidently in high spirits. At half past_nine o'clock, the char-a-bane cont taining Her Majesty Queen Victoria, his Roya Highness Princess Albert, the King and Queen of the French, e.,entered the Grand Court of the Chateau of Eu.’ The Queen looked ia excellent spirits, and most ammatedly acknowledged the cheers of the privileged few who were admitted within its precincts, and the salute of the troops. whose cries of Vive /e Rot were heard above th musica! band, which, immediately on Her Majesty appearance, commenced playing ‘God save, the Queen.” M. Guizot and some other persons of dis tunction were at the great entrance of the chateau, | and were first to hail the Queen’s arrival at Eu. Al- ter a moment or two Her Majesty, accompanied by | | her illustrious hosts, appeared un the balcony ever the entrance, and again, with much spp warmth, expressed her sense of the hearty youd Me | with which all around had cheered her.

The parting between the Queen of the French and | our loved Sovereign was touching and mournful to a degree, and left a sad impression on my mind. The | Queen of the French embraced our Sovereign ma- | ternally and as @ mother; she kissed her frequently, | and grasped her hand with an emotien honorab! and creditable to her heart, yet painful to behold. The scene would have been insupportable had it | been more than momentary, but fortunately the King interposed, and, offering his arm, conducted our Sevensign, to the ladder descending to the Var. The King of the French descended first, with a firm | and quick step, then followed the Cuptain of the Var, to do the honors of his shin to her Britannic Majesty. The worthy seaman offered his hand to a | British Queen in a trank, sailor-like fashion; but | Queen Victoria showed she had the pied marin as wellas any French seaman of them all, und de- scended like a true Queen of the W: ves as she is. Traversing the deck of the Var, jreceded by the Captain bowing her to the ganyway, she followed the King of the French to the royal canot, and again descended the compan’on to the barge with- our aid ‘ On Wednesday morni ig early the Porcupine steam-sloop Captain Bullc ck, arrived at Portsmouth with the Royal bagga © from Treport, and brought intelligence for the ommander-in-Chief that Her Majesty might b+ expected to arrive about 11 raleeks she afterwards proceeded wita the Royal baggage to Osborne. J b recisely at the time mentioned in the despatches brought by the Porcupine the Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, with the royal standard flying from her main, accompanied by the Fairy and the Admiralty yacht Black Eagle, hove in sight through the ot! the Nab Light, upon which the | Royal standard was instantly mounted on the King’s Bastion; the Victory, Hag-ship, hoisted flags at her masthead, and, together with the platform battery, fired a Royal salute as the Royal squadron slowly passed through Spithead towards Osborne, where Her Majesty arrived at 20 minutes to one o’clock. The passage from Treport to Smthead was made with extraordinary rapidity, under eight hours. The weather was favourable in the extreme, and the wa- ter as smooth as liquid glass. Immediately after Her Majesty had landed, the Fairy was despatched to Southampton to convey Lord Aberdeen there, en routeto London. It was the object of his Lordship to save the three o’clock exprees train, which the speed of the Fairy enabled him to accomplish. Sir James Clarke, Colonel Wylde, and others of Her Majesty’s suite also left for Southampton, but at a later period of the afternoon. Soon after the debar- kation of the Queen, Her Majesty, Prince Albert and the Royal suite proceeded to Osborne House in pony carriages, Col. Arbuthnot Equerry in Waiting, attending the Queen on horse back. The Dowager Lady Lyttleton, in false with the Royal chil- dren, and the Master of the Household, received Her Majesty and the Prince. The Queen and the Prince looked extremely well, and were most affec- tionately pleased with the healthy appearance of the Royal children, who have not had one day’s illness since they have been at Osborne. Ireland. Mr. O’Connell is still rusticating at Darrynane, from whence he issues his wicks missives to the Repeaters in Conciliation Hall. He is about emer- ‘ing from his mountain home, to attend “monster” demonstrations in Kerry, Mayo, and Tipperary. In the meantime, he is exerting his_powertul influence —a god-like work—in obliterating the wretched distinctions of caste and creed, by which his coun- try is torn. He wishes the Repealers to become enamoured of the “ Boyne water,” and the other party tunes, which, from time immemorial, have marked the triumph of the dommant party. Atthe very moment that the leader of the Irish people is Le forth his power to heal old sores, the Orange leaders are doing their utmost to make them bleed atresh. Under the Tory Government of aformer day, the Orange party were always screen- ed in the performance of any atrocities they chose to inflict on the people. But the present Govern- ment, with a dignified impartiality that reflects on them the highest credit, have given a new reading to the old version of ascendancy, and have super- seded—disgraced, by taking from them the commi: sion of the peace—two or three magistrates who figured conspicuously in the late Orange _demonstra- uons, of which the North of Ireland has been the scene. An English nobleman, the Earl of Winchel- sea, whose blood is a libel on his brains, scanda- lized at the independence of the Government in this matter, has requested them toplace him in the same category—and they have dome so. Mr. John O'Connell, who is striving hard to se- cure his father’s mantle when it falls, is the foremost man amongst the Itepealers in the absence of the master spirit. In acknowledging some money this week, from America, he alluded to the flattering panegyrics which the Irish press had pa:d to the memory of Andrew Jackson, andto the favorable tmpression which they had made on the ciuzens of the United States. These panegyrics ow the great departed were the sincere ebullitions of Irish teel- ing toward the hero of New Orleans; but. the fuet of Jackson having been aslave-holder has “damned im to everlasting fame,” in Mr. John O? Connell’s judgment. The potatoe crop had suffered severely by disease and the yield was one-third short. A flying report has got wird at the Cove of Cork, or rather tn the fleet at presentassembled there, to the effect that Her Majesty “might”—a very sufe “xpression—pay a short visit to the South of Ire- ‘and, entering by Cove Harbor, and thus have ano- ther opportunity of inspecting the experimental -quadron. France. Paris, Sept. 16—Mexico and the United States have again occupied much of the attention of the Parisian Journals; but all that has been said may betore the hour of departure. A body of cavalry were stationed opposite the Chateau. bas Majesty | Louis Philippe and the members of the Royal Fam- be summed up in one line—either that there will be wo war at all, or that, if a war, the United States will completely crush their puay adversary. ‘Lhe recent arrivals from Mexico have caused some little surprise, for they show that England is aesirous that peace "be maintained, whereas it was thought that she would not only incite Mexico to hostilities, out supply the means for carrying them oa. The Siécle publishes a recent article of the Lon- don Times, relative to the affairs of Mexico, and cemarks that—‘* The Times thinks that the quarrel between Meaico and the United States will receive 4 pacific solution. The Times, in that article, ex- presses sentiments upon the subject which, notwith- standing that they are dictated by a spirit ot jealou- sy and hatred, are not without justice to a certain extent.” The Commerce observes, that the recent presence at Paris of two agents of the Belgian government, Messrs. Kindt fr) Hoceden, had given rise to a re- port that a customs union between France and Bel- ginm. was again on the tapis. It is curious to notice the various surmises and speculations which Victoria’s visit to Eu have given rise to, not that there is any thing new in what is ad- vanced by our contemporaries, for the Morning Ad- vertiser adverted a fortnight ago to the alliances in contemplation for Spain; but simply because our net hbors seem to be so divided in their views on that subject. We are decidedly of opinion that a marriage be- tween the Duke de Montpensier and the Intanta Lu- isa of Spain, is a project tatal to the interests of Eng- land, and to which our cabinet can never assent, for it has been more than once announced that the me~ dical men have declared that Queen Isabella would aever have any offspring, and this fact was oilicially commanicated to Louis Phillippe, by Senor Donoso Cortes and the Duke de Rianzures during their stay inthe French capital. {t is since that period that every means have been exerted to procure the con- summation of so desirable an alliance for France, and if accounts are to be relied upon, even the Jesu- its are to be employed in aiding in carrying into et- fect such a project. We find in a letter from Rome the following significant passage “Tt is well known that the same influence which was instramental in obtaining the expulsion of the Jesuits from Franee, has co-operated as to their es- tablishing themselves in Spain, in the hope and with the sole view that they may assist in furthering the plan of marrying the Duke de Montpensier to the In- fanta Luisa of Spain.”’—London Chronicle, Sept. 18. Comments have been made by the leading jour nals on the documents relative to the external com- meree of the United states, lately published by or- der of the American government. The general feeling appears to be surprise ai the gigantic growth of the commerce of the country of the “youag de- mocracy ;” and one or two of te journals iraw the conelusion that in course of time, \merica will suc- | ceed in completely beating down and usurping the vast trade carried on by Great Britain with every country in the world. On every other question, as well as this, the French press affects to think tl the decadence of Great Britain draws nigh, and that the United States will be the most active con- tributors towards, if not the eole authors of, her hu- muliation and rain. n The young Prince de Montfort, nephew of Napo-
