disciplined force Tegulation, established every part ot the kingdom to prevent smuggling, a system of traffic which was carnied on to an enor mous extent under the corrupt administration of Hs- partero, and supported by the agents of Great iritai, whose merchants received immense pro- fits to themselves, while at the same time a large per centage from this trade fell into the vaults of the home treasury. As a curiosity, I give you here the amount of contraband 3, from the ¥arrigon of Gibraltar alone, whieh found their way into Spain during the year of Espartero’s gov- ernment, and which has been kindly furnished me ‘by an intelligent merchant (now officer) of this Reem English goods, cloths, cottons, in goods, the introduetion of which is prohibited in Spain by the laws of that country. This was but a part of the illicit trade carried on through the,coun- tenance and rt of the English government, whose vessels of war, daily left helt station at the garrison, to accompany and protect some wealthy smuggler in its violation of laws, which by solema treaty they had pledged themselves to faithfully observe! “In ponsersanee, of the new regulations, Gibraltar has lost all this interest in her trade with Spain, which creates a lively anxiety on the part of her mercantile population for a return of the old order, in the re-establishment of Espartero to power. This, however, is not the only check which England has received from th.s quarter ; she is now made sensible ot the loss of her influence in directing the foreign and internal aflairs of ee and of her place being ooqumed by Louis Phil ppe and his wily cabinet The recent visit of the Duke and Duchess D’Nemour to the ‘Infant Queen,” was less a visit of pleasure and compliment than of business. It here whispered, by those in confidence with the ad- ‘ministration at Madrid, that the Duke assured her Majesty of the intention of his august father to aid in preventing a return of Espartero, or a change of the present government ; and, in return, a most im- plicit attention to French interest in that quarter, was promised by the Spanish ministry. The present administration, as you will see from this, is govern- ing with energy, and thus far with success. They promise much for Spain, which they would be likely toaccomplish, if there were either stability or ho- snesty of character in her people. 5 Thad the pleasure a few days since, of meeting with a select company of American gentlemen on their way to Grenada, a | place of resort to most of foreigners visiting Malaga, but particularly to Americans, whose attention has been more im- mediately attracted to this spot cd the vivid picture which Irving has pies of it, in his history of the celebrated Alhambra. One of the gentlemen, late an officer on board of the ill-4ated steamer Mis- sourl, while speaking upon that subject, informed me that the wreck of that noble vessel 1s not yet removed from the bay where it was burnt; and from what he could learn, the fault of all this rested with the government at Washington. It will be recol- lected, that a contract was entered upon by an Eng- lish company of divers, and Capt. Newton, by which it was agreed that the wreck should be re- moved, the copper sold, and one half of the whole proceeds should fall to the company as its part of the profits, and this removal was to be effected in one year from the date of the contract. It is now almost two years since the company have been con- stantly engaged upon the wreck, but from unforseen circumstances at the time ot making the contract, they have been able thus fur to do but little, while their outlays have been very heavy. Their first effort was to raise the vessel bodily, by pumping out the water; and to effect this, the governor of Gibral- tar gave to the contractor 800 men ; and at the mo- ment when ee believed themselves successful, it was discovered that the bottom had been broken, which let in the water at amore rapid rate than they could force it out with their pumps. They then went to work to get out the boilers, and employed divers for the purpose ; but here again was another difficulty, the heat from the fire had rendered the screws immoveable, by covering them with fused metals, and the only alternative was to sever then with force, and this too at a distance of twenty feet under water. They have at length succeded in get- ting up the second boiler, there being in all four— but from the faiture of their funds are unable to go on farther, aud have appealed to the American Con- sul ut Gibealtar, Mr. Sprague, for means to com- plete the, work; but with all this gentleman’s de- sire te have the wreck removed, he does not feel himself authorized to make any advances, without fiest receiving the sanction of the government. It 4s said, that he has laid the whole subject before the Secretary of the Navy, but strange to say, that to his aed letters, he has not received in return a line upon the subject. The admirality are constant- 1y complaining of the delays in clearing the bay of the wreck, and appeal to our Consul to know the cause of it. Instead of answering that, the gov- ernmentat Washington have not noticed his letters in relation to the matter; he spares it the disgrace of its inattention, by taking the fault in part upon him- self. [have devoted much space to this subject, which I should not have done, if it had not been from the importence which it has assumed in this quarter of the world. Lowett, Oct. 18th, 1845. Flattering Prospects of the Natives—Their Victory at the next Election sure—Whig Mecting—Reli- gion and Repudiation— Weather, §c. ‘The natives of Lowell had a meeting at City Hall it, which, as far as regards numbers, was ctable. ‘The Chairman of the meeting in- troduced to the audience a man from Charlestown, wha was very ambitious to impress upon his hear- ers the facts that there was nothopes for the republic, but by the whigs and democrats deserting their own party and uniting with the natives, in driving the foreigners lrom our shores. ‘The speaker was quite eloquent in his remarks upon the success of the par- ty in the State so fur, and had no doubt that they would be able at the next election in November to ary their candidates for Governor and Lieut. Go- nor by a large majority. j se George Tyler, the editor of the native organ in Boston, next took the stand. He was for the twen- iy-one years system, and “ nothing else ;” his views were that it was unconstitutional for foreigners to hold offices, or vote as they now did, and concluded by giving Col Schoulor, of the Courier, his views of his course as one of the leaders of the whig party here, and insisted that the Colonel was not a natur- alised citizen. The Hon. George Ford, of Penn., followed. He succeeded in getting off some stale election jokes, which appeared amazingly to please the numerous boys. Upon the whole, native Americanism is con- sidered a dead failure here. There was very little enthusiasm, and probably not fifty out of the several hundred present will vete for the party. The whigs ot Lowell will hold a caucus this even- ing, at the same place. It is understood that several distinguished whigs will be present to andress the meeting. The whigs muster strong as a Lio sag so we shull be present to see how things work, and probably give an account of the preceedings. F The Herald has a very large circulation in this town, and is more extensively read than any other journal out of the city—the Weekly particularly, which is taken by some three hundred of the fami- ‘liga and operatives ; indeed, they say that it is the ouly New York paper that can be relied upon in re- gard to financial and other important news. ‘There has been much excitement for some time in regard to the swindling operations of certain in- slividuals connected with the new Freewill Baptists Chareh. You may recollect that it was built under the auspices of a certain Elder, who borrowed sums of money from the operatives and others, from $100 to a $1000, and gave what was called the Corpora- tion notes. Weil, this Corporation Association one day became a bursted-up.community, which, conse- quently, ruined many of the poor factory giris, who had invested their moneys on the assurance of the erested party that it was safer with them than in the banks. Finally, one of the victims had recourse to law, which has once, for a wonder, decided in favor of the wronged. But it is supposed they will not recover more than twenty-five percent on the dollar, which is certainly better than nothing. Some of the most eminent lawyers in the Statewere en- raged by the parties—among them, B. F.

Mivitany Parape— Tue Camraicn Commencen—New Farce or tHe “Rivau Carrains.”—One of the most unique, laughable and intensely exciting scenes came off yesterday at the corner of Church and Murray streets, that ever has been recorded in military annals. The 85th regiment of militia, consisting of about a dozen dif- ferent companies met there, ranging from the corner of Murray street to Park Place. First and toremost on the corner of Murray street, was the company. of Bushel, the immortal P Bushel, who by his det ed fidelity to the cause of the people, has re: self deservedly popular with them. Capt. B pony consisted of largest and best looking body of men on the ground. Among the twenty-one there were fifteen muskets, the six remaining eivalas carrying laths and pol to Capt. Bushel’s company was one on the corn Place, consisting of four individuals beside the captain, who was a dapper little fellow, swelled to almost twice his natural wize by the glory which filled him and shone through his eyes, hat and finger ends. One member of his company made himself decidedly conspicuous. He wasa tall gaunt man, who looked as though he feared nothing, but loved sport. He carried in his h old Queens arms, on his head he wore a Leghorn hat of a re- murkable altitudes, with a brim about a quarter of an inch wi and bound with red flannel. On the crown ‘was marked in large letters, “M. P. 85th Regiment,” and on his cartouch box was chalked “Rum.” The captain commenced calling the roll,on which were inscribed the names of about a hundred individuals, who were represented by the four who stood before him. The name of the unfortunate John Smith, who is always ting into all the scrapes that come off, was called no Ie: than four times. The spectators seemed to enjoy this highly, and at each call cries of He’s gone to Texas,” “He's drowned,” ‘ Stept out.” &c., were the answers re- ceived. Leaving this company,we passed up Park Place, where we found another, consisting of eight individuals. We took an inventory of the arms contained in this com- any, and the result was as follows :—One musket, two wening about six | | places | to prevent the circulation o | of the Eighth Ward, to corner of Common Council.

The gentleman who bore this seemed fully to sppreciate his be pod as banner-bearer of the company, ana marched with great skill and accuracy. His duty seemed to be when any of the ner eret went out of the ranks, tothrow his net over their heads, haul them in again. Loaving this company, we again returned to the corner of Church street and Park place, where Capt. Bushel’s company, which was the cynosure of all eyes, ‘was drawn up in boid array. ‘ gave a report of the meet ing at which Capt. Bushel was elected, and mentioned the determination of the field officers to use their best endeavours to prevent him from commanding his company. It was, therefore, anticipat- ed that a collision would take place, and the company, with the exception of one or two, expressed a determi- nation to support Capt. Bushel through thick and thin.

Then with orders from the rival captains of “carry arms,” “ reverse,” “ or- der,” and from the people of ‘Go it Bushel,” ‘ Stick to him old fellow,” and other popular phrases such a jer. on was createdas would have done honor to Babel. — When this cooled down, Lieut. Tyson took out his book and commenced calling the roll. Not a man answered, and before h3 was half through Capt. Bushel commenced with his. He only having the names of those present, every one was prompt answered. Before Lieut Tyson finished his roll, Capt. ever to him, marched of his company.

The crops had not all been gather are about to be delivered by the various Pro- 92, and until the harvests have been completed it will be impossible to arrive at any correct conclusion as to the yield, &c. It is estimated that the deficiency in weight of grain this year compared with last, will be and also equal to 1,400,000 quarters, and the deficiency in mes sure above 1,600,000—making a total deficiency of above 3,000,000 quarters, or about 24,000,000 bushels.

The condition of the harvests and the probable product, are compared with the same pe- riod in 1838, but the eonsumption of bread stuffs in Great Britain now is much larger than it was in 1888 and 1689, and the sources of supply are more limited than in pre- vious years of short harvests.

The advices in relation to the cotton markets are of an unfavorable nature, not only on account of the recent decline in prices and in demand, but on account of the Probability that as the season advances, and the supply and as his whole course of treatment is under the | of corn diminishes, quotations for cotton will experience immediate advice of the Professors, who are all of | a further decline, and the consumption of the staple de. them eminent men, the patient runs no risk of what | crease. A decline of a penny per pound on cotton would make a difference to this country in the total crop of more than twenty millions of dollars, an amount more flour and wheat we can export to Great Britain and all Two or three minor operations | other countries. In previous years of short harvests in | Great Britain, prices for our cotton have been reduceds | without giving us an opportunity to make good the | losses thus experienced by large shipments of bread- | stuff. The grain growing countries of the continent | being more favorably situated for supplying the wants of Great Britain, than this country, have heretofore had that trade nearly exclusively to themsel: A general deficiency in the potato crop of Europe, and a very great decrease in the preiuction of wheat in certain districts, have opened the markets of England, for the entry of breadstuffs direct from the States. We shall, therefore, be able to offset, to a moderate extent, by large ship- ments of flour the decline in the prices for cotton, so that the country at large will not be so much affected by the reduced value of our great staple as in former years. The agriculturists of the north and west will be benefit. ST Recorder Tall- | ed by the change, while the planters of the south must bear the brunt of the depression that the cotton markets must for sometime experience. There is no doubt but that with all the relief an extensive exportation of flour from this country and successful speculatiens in bread" stuffs will give, we shall be losers by the deficient her gain vests of England. The railway speculation continues to rapidlyincrease in- There appears also to be a very great difference of opi- nion among capitalists, as to the ultimate effect of this speculation. It 1s supposed that there will be no serious derangement of the money market by the transfer of the Tailway deposits into the hands of the accountant gene. ral. The resolution requiring a deposit of ten per cent on the estimated capital did not pass the lower house o Parliament, and the law remains the same as at last ses sion. It will, therefore, only be necessary to lodge five per cent of the capital until the bills are ready to pass to the upper house. This reduces the amount of depo sits one half, to go into the hands of the accountant ge- neral, The railway speculation differs from all others, in its being confined within the limits of each country in which the railways are to be built. The construction of these works, will give employment to thousands, in- crease the number of consumers for all the necessaries of life, draw capital from other investments, lessens nd a died, leaving children, and the question at istue before the probability of a speculative movement arising in any = Fe of the staple articles of trade, increases the business of before it, it each country by connecting extreme sections by modes of transportation cheap and expeditious, advances the interests and improves the condition of all classes. ‘There is not that danger of a sudden contraction in the value of the investment in railway speculations that ex? ists in every other; there is something solid, something tangible, something to show for the money expended, which is not always the case in the speculations that frequently make their appearance. Notwithstanding these things, it appears to us, impossible to escape many to of the evils an artificial inflation of credits to any great extent, invariably produce: ‘The London Money Market continues to be abundant ly supplied with capital, and the rate of interest ruled st two anda half percent.
