The Paris newspapers have long articles on the island of Chusan ; but they jo nol believe what the English newspapers assert, that France will take it after it shall have been given up by the English, pursuant to their treaty. Neither the Government nor the Government organs have thought fit to say whether there is or is not, as the London papers assert, a clause in the treaty con- cluded between France and China, for giving up this isle to France after England shall have aban- doned it. Ut Tmay venture a guess on the subject, I should say that no such clause exists, or was ever thought of ; for, if it had been in existence, [ think ¢ Ministerial newspapers would hardly have failed to vaunt loudly of it, for it would give intense satis- faction to the majority of the press and the people, partly because ghey are almost as fond of ** annexa- toa” as the people of the States, and partly because it would be a slap at perfide Albion. The treaty of umerce and friendship between the French and Chinese was ratified by the Chinese on the 25th August, in the palace of the commandant of the Chi- ise forces in the Canton river. The ratification by the Freneh will arrive in China in November. The attaché of the French embassy, who brought this reaty to Europe, and took it back in to China, complished a prodigy of swift locomotion : within one year he has twice visited China, India, and Europe. The Journal des Débats, the principal government ‘wan, reproduced the observations of the Washing- ton Union on the proceedings of France and Eng- land at Buenos Ayres; but it made no comment whatever. Generally speaking, American affairs en masse, and the United States’ affairs in particular, have not been honored with much attention, during the last fortnight, by our newspapers. Abstracts of the latest news have been given without remark, and ia cases where observations were made, the observations were so near akin to the dullest of dull twaddle that they may be safely lett to oblivion. _ Railway fever rages with as much virulence in this country as the same malady appears to do on your side of the Channel. igh and low, rich and voor, gentle and simple, young and old, male and ema li appear determined to become rich tout a coup, without any further trouble than buying rail- way properiy and selling it again. Unluckily, the {cen dream does not appear to be realised by all ; but sull the failures have not yet been sufficiently jumerous and suificiently disastrous to cause it to » treated as a delusion and a snare; au contraire, ores of persons have been enriched—therefore, it sasked, why not all? Heaven grant that the reply © the question be not rrin, and wretchedness, and nisery! Meanwhile, the speculation is carried to on extent that wouldastonish a negligent observer. From a petition drawn up by the merchants of Paris, appears that twenty millions of British money, or «ue hundred millions ot dollars, are now locked up 1 railway speculation ; and, front calculations that have had occasionally to make, lam in- clined to think that the amount is really not less than £15,000,000 sterling, even if itbe not more — The worst of it is that this enormous sum is not employed in making railways, but is deposited in bankers’ hands, and lies idle and unproductive in their strong boxes. The French Chambers have 4 ed the system of putting up great lines of rail- way to public competition, awarding them to com- that wilt take leases for the shortest period, a sree to give them up, entirely constructed, and with all their material, to the Government, at the end of the lease. This system calls into existence nimense number of companies ; each company z compelled to raise the amount of the capital ually required for the railways. Thus there are .eight, and in one case twenty companies for dif- ent railways; and, by consequence, six, eight, und twenty sets of capitals, or five, seven, and nine- een more than will really be required. From this you may judge of the folly of the system, which ssarily ses such an enormous amount of ca- pital to be unproductive for months and months; and you may imagine that the mercantile classes are suf- fering grievously for want of money. Prince Pierre Napoleon, son of Lucien Bonaparte, aud nephew of Napoleon, has published a letter 10 M. Thiers, in which, in very indignant terms, he protests against the calumnies which he asserts the historian heaped upon his father, who, he says, was all his life a consistant republican. The widow of Lucien, and mother of the prince, had previously - published a pamphlet, in which she resented the mis- cpresentations of M. Thiers of her husband’s char- cter and patriotistn. {t appears that Lucien has left »chind him memoirs of his lie, which will be given he world before long ; and which, it is expected, hea will contain mavy valuable relations on the men and eeveuts of that extraordinary period in which ved that extraordinary brother, who rose from the ranks of the people to the exercise of dominion, vaster far than man ever before exercised, and was hurled from his dazzling height to the barren rock of desert isle, there to languish and to die—a fall so great as man never made before. eNCH Revexve.—The Moniteur publishes the following table of the receipts of indirect taxes for he three first quarters of the present year :— 1845. 1844.

The only topics of discussion refer to the Queen’s marriage and the business of the ensuing Cortes.— Most ot the journals are opposed tothe marriage of the Queen with the Count of Trapani, and seem stil] ess dispcsed to favor the claims of the Prince of Asturias. A meeting of Deputies has taken place lative to the new system of taxation, and a pro- osition for its modification by the Cortes. Accord- gto one of the journals it is proposed to demand a reduction of at least one-third of the amount, in avour of persons engaged in trade and commerce— \n other words, to make it a property tax. A conspiracy has been dissovareel at Buzot, near Alicant, the object of which was the seizure of the fortress of St Barbers. ed to corrupt the persons in charge of the fortifica- jon, but the Government having got into! pe affair, ee were taken mete tin ode cution, and the conspirat . abandoned thete plan.

The King has given the Ger- man Catholics a place for worsulp, after it had been retused by the authorities. it was confidently expected that the King would have fulfilled his promise of a constitution, on the recent anniversary of his ascent to the throne.

It is now upwards of thirty years since a constitution was firet promised ; and notwithstanding all that, the newspapers say it seems just as far off now as it was twice thirty years ago.

From other parts of Germany there 1s no news of importance. ul consequences were anticipated. The news from China comes down to the 15th of July, but contains nothing remarkable fashions for November. [From the World of Fashion, | Bonnets of the Pamela form have been proclaimed as being by far the prettiest and most graceful style that canbe adopted. Still there is another form talked of as being more suitable for morning wear, and which is cal ed the Clarisse Harlowe, being so perfectly English in its cut, and so prettily ‘decorated, as to give it a most charming and distinguished effect, differing from the Pa- mela in this, that although it is equally shallow at tho ears, and raised in the front, it is not closed so much at the cheeks. They are gonerally made of black velvet, and in capotes of dark-colored satin. Those ofthe Pame la forin vary both as to the material and trimmings. We may, however, cite, as being the most general, those made in green velvet and decorated with a green ribbon, bordered with black velvet, a plein feather, shaded green | and black, and a ma§nificent fall of black Chantilly lace, put on round the edge of the front, and also the curtain, the top of the brides in the interior bemg ornamented with roses, shaded cerise and white, encircling the face. Morning caps are principally decorated with a pretty English lace, put on in the form of acolimacon, each row being separated by means of small coques of pink ribbon. Another pretty style of cap is one compored of tulle, trimmed upon the front with two rows of broad lace, which entirely conceals the foundation, and is or- namented upon the centre of the head with a demi- wreath of petite choux of red velvet, and terminated up- on each side over the ears with a bunch or chou rather larger than the rest, having long ends depending from iti Daeeses.—Those composed of poult de soie are mo: in vogue ; they are principally decorated round the low- er part of the skirt with six rows of narrow lilac fringe, the bodies formed half-high, and frilled into the waist, * having a demi-pelerine fastening at the back, and edged top and bottom with a similar fringe ; plain sleeves, de- corated with six rqws of fringe, put on at equal distances up the whole length of the sleeve ; guimpe of plaited muslin, edged with an embroidered inlet all round the neck , mantelet of black lace. Another very elegant pis os of dress is made im blue Italian silk, trimmed with a broad flounce dentele, and surmounted by a second one very narrow, similarly dentele, and forming a heading to the broad one ; plain body, made high up in the shoul ders, and forming two deep points upon the front, which are ulso decorated with facings denteles ; plain sleeves and round jockeys, likewise denteles. Redingotes for a neglige toilette, are made in the pe- lisse fashion. The corsage is fulled into the waist in folds, which forms a kind of fan upon the chest, and as- cends a little less high thansthe throat, so as to allow of a little of the under guimpe showing, which is decorated with a magnificent light looking lace fulling, so as to touch the top of the dress, the lower part of the skirt be- Such is the mortification of the high duty parti- | ing ornamented with four rows.of double folds of velvet, sans in the Zollverein, atthe termination of the de- bates, that they indignantly refused to dine with the English Ambassador, think over them.

At El- wangen, in Wirtemburg, the civie guards being called out for their annual rifle practice, it was pro- posed that the Abbe Ronge should be shot in efligy, and for that purpose a falflength portrait of the reve- rend gentleman was painted on the target. This ex- asperated the portion of the populous who are parti- alternate black and lilac,the lowest fold being considera- bly wider than the rest ; folds of the same description, ng that he would chuckle ee quite straight, are placed upon the sleeves as far as bend of the arm, where it terminates in a rounded form on each side, allowing the sleeve to be a little open towards the lower part; sleeves with broad facings, edged with fringe ; guimpe of muslin. Coirrunss.—An elegant small kind of scarf, in shaded open-work silk, ornamented with long tassels, has lately the Government should determine, at the @ppeared destined for the forming of a pretty style of winter head dress ; they are twisted round the head, and have a very light and graceful effect ; they are also ren- dered more magnificent by being intermixed with gold and trimmed with broad fringe, whieh floats grocefaily over each side by the ears, having somewhat the appear- ance of a small turban. Les Coiffures en Cheveux will still be worn low at the back of the head, and the fashion of ornamented combs being about to be revived, thoy will doubtless be very general this winter. The most elegant are decorated with diamonds, cameos, marcassite, &c. Furs.—Ermine and sable are still considered as by far the richest and most rechere/é looking furs; but there is also another which classes with these, and which last year was in great favor with our elegantes, Broad vo- lants of martre serves to ornament those comfortable and sans of Ronge, and they turned out for the purpose of elegant looking douillettes, We may also mention that vreventing 80 goss an insult to their pastor. A col- n was very near taking place on the occasion between the civic guard and the people, and it was only by the intervention of the puolic authorities and the police, who dispered both the civic guard and the populace, and at the same time carried away the obnoxious effigy, that it was prevented.

There is nothing the autocrat delights in 80 much as tak- ing people by surprise ; and, in particular, to pop in upon his wife and family when they believe him hundreds of miles away, affords him the highest siee. To obtain this gratification, he sometimes descends to the most childish tricke—assuming the dress of couriers, subordinate officers, and even common soldiers.

Occasionally a little investment on speculation has taken place, and given a momentary interest to our proceedings; but the demand | for the most part has been confined to small parcels for | immediate consumption. It was generally understood that the Manchester market also, on Tuesday last, es- ecially for manufactured goods, was dullvand heavy. ‘arnsand the Spinning trade-were much as before. ‘The effect of this continued dullness upon our. prices | has been to reduce long stapled descriptions such as Brazils and Egyptians, jd per pound, and the | market for American must likewise be considere: point lower; still, when we compare the actual busi- | ness now doing, with that which was done a fortnight ago, we find difficulty in reducing the scale of these | kinds, Possibly an increased demand might induce the | holders to throw their stocks upon the market for sale, | which at present they seem reluctant to do. 4,500 Ame- | | rican have been taken on speculation. ‘The trade continue still to purchase sparingly, and, in the absence of any further advices from the United States, speculation is limited; the market, therefore, re- | mains heavy, but with the exception of Brazil, which has declined per lb, no further reduction can be | | quoted in prices generally. There have been taken on | Speculation 4,500 American. Sales of the week, 17,340 | bales. | Ocr.31—Long stapled Cotton is rather lower thon | | last week. Egyptian of common quality is more deci | | dedly so, oH to}d per lb, and Brazils slightly; but | the great bulk of American qualities remain in price much as before, the turn of the market being in favor of the buyer. The limited demand, small amount of our | actual transactions, and the almost entire absence of | speculation, have, of course, produced their usual effects | | upon the market generally, and we close as we began | the week, that is, with every appearance of quietness, | | but with no great pressure to sell. ‘The accounts by tho | per 50 kil, dp. 60 bales imported last week from U. 8. are now on sale, so that we shall be able shortly to ascertain its value.

Boueiy: Oct. 1—The uninterupted clear weather we have had of late has not been without its anticipated s in bringing down the large dealers from the Mo- fussil. The market for cotton fabrics, and twists and yarns has boen active, with advancing prices on som numbers of the latter. Cottons of all d hay © Fy @ reference to our report of sale be by ats Holders con- metal market has been unusually ‘quiet. | tinue firm, and prices consequently have not receded. Imports this fortnight have been exceedingly limited, and the same may be said of exports. Raw cotton has undargone no alteration in prices, and the average price for good Surat, Jumboosere, or Broach, may'be taken at 80, which is somewhat too high a figure to warrant shipments at present advanced rate of tonnage. The apprehensions of a defective monsoon seem likely, we Fegret to say, to be realized, for the fall of rain during the past fortnight haa been slight and partial. The fal | Inst steamer give us no reason to expect any short com- | ing in the crop, but, on the contrary, their appears to be | | every fair ground for supposing that America will pro- | duce a fairand abundant quantity of Cotton. 5500 Ame- | | rican have been taken on speculation,and 150 for export. ‘Total amount of sales for the week, 18,070 bales. ' ‘Although the accounts received by the Cambria are enerally considered favorable for holders, yet as the | Jomand continues on a most limited scule, both from the | trade and speculators, the market wears a very heavy | appearance, and prices of most kinds are {« per Ib lower | within the past fortnight. Specolators have taken 5500 | American, and exporters 150 American. |” Nov. 3—The market still keeps dull; prices, however, are mamtained with considerable firmness. ‘The sales since Friday last are 8500 bales, the whole of which have been taken by the trade, as speculators may be said to have retired Jrom the market pro tem. Loxpox Conn Manz, Nov: 3.—The supply of wheat this morning from Essex, Kent and Suffolk, was pretty good; little business was, however, transacted, in conse- | {uence of the uncertainty as to what steps government | will take respecting the Corn laws. The sales effected were at a decline of 2s per quarter; bonded was held at | previous rates, but did not meet a brisk inquiry. Malting | Barley is 1s lower, while Grinding maintains its value. Beans and Peas find a ready sale,at firmly supported rates. | Flour meets e dull heavy sale. Canadian barrels are disposed of at 36s to 38s, and American, in bond, 31s to B88, Et Liverroo Corn Marxet, Oct 31—The duty on Foreign Wheat is reduced this week to 16s, that on Oats to 5s, on Pease to 1s 6 per quarter, and on Foreign Flour to 9s 74d per barrel. Since our report of Tuesday last we have received a fair supply of Wheat from Ireland, | but of other produce thence the arrivals are very unimportant, those coas:wise being extremely light; and the, imports from abroad, fresh in for to- ‘day, are chiefly confined to about 2,000 quarters Wheat, from the Baltic and Mediteranean, with 12,253 barrels of Flour from the United States and Canada, Un der the expectation of Ministerial interference by means of an early abolition or abatement of duties, the Corn | trade generally within this day or two has been in of uncertainty. the holders of free Wheat di fs though not manifesting undue auxiety, to sell; while those of bonded have been fully ative to the probability of afurther improvement in the value of their stocks.— Beyond a floating cargo or two, little has,however, been dote since Tuesday j!whether in free ur bonded produce generally no alteration in prices was observable Being still in suspence as to the exact measures which Cio vernment may decide upon relative to the future rate of duties, our market this morning wes extremely inani- mate, entirely precluding ony extensive operations, and depressing in some degree the value of nearly all free artieles of the trade. In the few limited sales of wheat which took. place, a decline of 2d per 70lb was conceded ; and sack flour receded 1s per 280 1b, whilst Canadian, though equally dull, continued to bo held at late prices. Bar! DA) malt and beans, moved off slowly, on barely the terms last noted. Peas and Indian corn being nearly without inquiry, were nominally cheaper. Oats and Oatmeal, participating in the general langour of the trade, the former was offered 2d per 451), and the latter 1s per 240 Ib. below the current rates of Tuesday, Not- withstanding the depression ia the free market, bonded Wheat and Flour were held with firmness, at somewhat higher prices, at which, however, no sales of moment transpired.

Oct. 31.—The advance in American cheese, also in Holland, induces dealers in English to expect higher — Irish mess pork is scarce, also fine American pee!

Market for English well supplied, but, notwith- standing the expectation of a large consumption, the last advices from America are deomed rather dangerous.

Brooklyn Intelligenee. How ro Raise tHe Wixp.—An association in Brook- lyn, calling themselves the “ Primitive Methodists,” have party,’ at one of their churches, some time next week, the tick ets to be sold at two shillings each for adults,’ and half price for children. ‘The object of such a gathering is not stated, but, of course, it isto make money—if they can. How preposterous—nay, even how impious and unholy-—would it have appeared to the original“ Primi- tives” of this much honored and esteemed religious sect, if any attempt had been made to collect funds by a spe- cies of semi-theatrical trickery, instead of appealing to the less selfish feelings of their friends and followers.— This is, however, an age of humbug—positively, easen- tially, and emphatically so—and in almost every dopart- ment of life, mercenary views and considerations will found to predominate over all that is really upright, hon- disinterested, and magninimous. There is, moreover, much hy pocrsy intermixed with this too eager desire for | aggrandizement and gain; no better proof of which can be furnished—so far as many of the people of Brooklyh are concerned—than their exceeding self-complacency, as manifested in their loud boasts that this is not a thea- trical city, and that no place of public amusement can here mest with patronage or support. And yet it is well known, in the face of all this mock modesty and morali- ty, that one or two of the lowest rabble establishments in New York are chiefly sustained by some of these mealy- mouthed Congregationalists, whe juggle their demure persons across the river nnder the cover of hoods and cloaks—innocently supposing all the while that their wily movements are unknown, and that they have man- aged effectually to conceal their despicable back-slidings and truly cowardly , contemptib) low false _pro- fessions. from the really worthy and deserving of those among whom they desire to appear as “most hallowed saints.” Fenny to Gowaxvs.—We hear of new arrangements which are in progress to establish a line of ferry boats to run from the vicinity of the Battery to Gowanus, for the purpose of shortening the distance between New York, Greenwood Cemetery and Fort Hamilion. Tue U. Stax Cricket CLus—This club, as will be perceived froma notice published in another column will hold a meeting on Tuesday next, for the annexed election of officers. Ax Excrttent Moveaent.—The Emerald Ai . tion of Brooklyn, which, hy the most praiseworthy ef- forts, has established.on a firm and permanent foundation a Female Orphan Asylum, is now about to raise a fund for the establishtmont ef a Male Orphan Asylum—-for the maintenance and education of destitute Catholic boys— and a ball will soon be given for the furtherance of th’ excellent and benevolent object, the full particulars of which will hereafter be announced in the adverti columns of this paper. On! lay evening, an annual meeting of the members of the association took place, at which the following officers for the ensuing year were unanimously elected :—Owen Colgan, President ; Ter rence Brady, Secretary ; William H. Peck, Treasurer; and for directors, John Rigley, Marthy Riordon, and James Galloway. Ronent Bach Q.—It will be melancholy tidings to the numerous ft of this highly esteemed, enterpri- sing and wealthy resident of Brooklyn, to learn that he has for some days past been’ seriously indisposed, an that there is now scarcely any prospect or probability of his recovery. Corerction.—Some friends of the gentleman whose name was mentioned in Yosteniay’s Herald as having been fleeced by some thimble-rig vagabonds at Babylon, L.1.,have called upon us to state that he not en- ticed by them into any Cael but that an escritoire was broken open by some of a gang who entered his house, and robbed him of a large sum of money.

Vice President of the ext ?—The spirit of gaming ix certainly, on fat all events, in the city of Brooklyn. acing, trotting, cards, dice, rafflos, and other de- vices do not appeal ry the greedy appetites of thore who goabout “seeking whom they may devour,” as some of the blackleg fraternity have now got up number of dominoe matches to be played for large suma of money ; and we learn that ono is to" come off” in this city on Thursday next, between two well known adepts in the scienco,for the sum of five hundred dollars. So wags the world. Loss or tHe Sreampoat Remnperr.—On Tues- day mornings the 11th instant, at 11 o’clock, as the steamboat Reindeer, Capt. Paxton, from Louisville to New Orleans, was rounding to at Sweeny’s wood yard, about twelve miles below the mouth of Red River, she struck a nag and in afew minutes afterwards sunk. — ‘The vessel hai a mixed freight of cotton, hemp, stock, ke. The stock wa: Lgckirad saved, werea fow jes of cotton stowed above decks. There wert some sixty or more cabin passengers abon: ot off safo. Itis believed that none of the deck pt rs were lost’ Atsundown the boat lay with her bow near ly on a level with the water; at the stern the water was several feet deep in the ladies’ cabin. She was 1 deeper every hour, and had careened so much that it was feared she would turn bottom upwaras during the night. The anag npen which she swung was below the surface, and was supposed to be a cypress knee project- ing at right angles trom the bank.

The European Neyws—Great Excitement. We give in this day’s paper a full resume of the deeply important news brought to Boston on Thurs- day night, by the Britannia steamer, from Liverpoo!. | We received these interesting despatches by special | and exclusive express, at half-past one o’clock yes- | terday afternoon, being nearly tenhours in advance of every other newspaper establishmentin New York. At three o’clock we issued an Exrra Heratp, which was sent, exclusively, by mail, to all our sub- scribers and correspondents, to the south and west of New York, as faras New Orleans and Texas, also one day in advance of our cotemporaries. At five o’clock we issued an Exrra for the city,which was sold in thousands and thousands, by the news- boys, in every street in New York. The crowd round our office, for haif the afternoon, was terrific, but good humored. Never since we published a paper have we issued so large an edition ; and never did the whole press get so clean a beatas they have received in this instance. Such are the invariable results of superior arrange- | ments and unflagging enterpris: | ‘The character of the news is of the most startli ng | importance—particularly in a financial and commer- cial point of view —nay even running into politics | institutions, and the progress of society in Europe, A financial panic has begun in England—no doubt in | France also—brought about by the strange concur rence, at the game time, of a short harvest—stock speculations—stringent corn laws, and general alarm. The panic begins to pervade all classes—the | cottage of the Irish peasant, as well as the cabinet of the British premier. Thousands are already ruined by the railway revulsion which began the | work of change and revolution—and millions are | threatened with starvation by the shortness of the | creps. A third of the potato crop is ruined—rotten —but it is not a small potato revulsion—it is the be- | ginning of a big potato revolution, that may lead to | terrible consequences to the institutions and pros- | perity of England and France. This exciting intelligence created a deep sensa- | tion yesterday afternoon, and the inquiry was gene~ | ral—how will it affect affairs in this couatry? Ma- | ny persons may express different opinions—but in | our view, the general panic in England will be an | advantage to the aflairs in this country, both com- | mercially and politically. ‘The United States is the | only country from which England or Ireland can ' procure a full supply of food. The crops on the con- | tinent are also short. It the ports should be opened, | as no doubt they will, vast quantities will be export- j ed to prevent famine in England and Ireland. This will bring a Jarge balance of cash to the American | agriculturists and corn merchants. The English + manufacturers, to prevent a political convulsion | »” | among the work people, must take a tolerably fuli supply of cotton—and this political and social neces- sity will keep up the price of cotton to a moderate ‘extent. Again, the general panic in railway stocks, | added to the dread of famine, will extend to all the | other elements of trade—confidence will evaporate —the bullion in the bank will be drawn out—and most probubly, for fear of a political convulsion, | many capitalists will transfer their persons and their property to the safe, peaceful and plenteousshores of | the United States. This will increase the elements of prosperity, now so active and substantial, in this country. The banke in New York have com- menced a movement looking upward-—and the banks | in the country, are rapidly following up the signal. Sooner or later, the great floating masses of bullion | now in Europe, must come to this country—and the | panic in stocks, in food, &c. which has broke out in England, is the beginning of the tide that will float the wealth of the world westward. Such seems to be the only rational view which can be taken of the effects to be produced on the United States by the present commercial panic in England. In a political point of view, it is equally novel. In the midst of a terrible struggle | for food—a panic in the stock market—and a politi- ' cal contest that may end in the downfall of the corn ‘laws and the prostration of the aristocracy, even leading to an internal revolution, what can England do in preventing the United States from taking the ' whole of Oregon? or from purchasing of Mexico _ all Califorma? Now isthe favorable mement for ' our government to push for both—for Oregon and | California. England cannot move a step—we have | her on the hip—and we can get both, by feeding in- | stead of fighting her. | The next news will be still more important—and ! we here give notice to the public, that, on the arri- val of the next steamer, we mean again to beat the | combined press of New York, if we can—mind, if | we can \ Maenetic Tececraru Orgrations.—In conjunc- | tion with our contemporaries of this city, connected | with the morning press, we have made arrangements | with the Telegraph Company to procure reports of | the proceedings of Congress and other matters | transpiring at Washington during the ensuing ses" sion, through this new mode of telegraphing | news. It will commence with the opening | of Congress, according to all accounts, al- incompleteness | of the line between Baltimore and Philadelphia, we will not receive the news till 2 or 3 o’clock in the morning, till the 15th of January, when the com- munication will be complete. This new system of communicating intelligence will completely revolu- tionize the press, and tend, we think, to the centra- | lization of intelligence in the great Atlantic cities.— Time and experience, however, alone will disclose the full results of this extraordinary agency. Tricks or Srecusators—The arrival of the Massachusetts at Holmes’ Hole, has created a great deal of remark in this city, and many are persuaded that other causes than those assigned produced that singular circumstance. That she put in there be- cause the onptain was sick, was ridiculous. The “Great Britain” went into that place strangely, and the “Massachusetts” has gone in still more strange - ly. There isa very general conviction here that the whole thing was a trick of Boston speculators, who wished to avail themselves of the news in ad- vance of the New York speculators, so as to operate on the western markets, by the great western rail- road. ARRIVAL OF THE MassacuvseTts —The steamship Massachusetts arrived at Holmes’s Hole, last Wed- nesday,for the purpose of landing Capt. White,who is dangerously 11. She left Liverpool on the evening of Oct. 22 Col. Perkinsand the other cabin pas- sengers landed and proceeded to New Bedford, and thence to Boston. The Massachusetts encountered strong head winds and gales. She was able to use her steam but four or five days, hercoal taken in in England not being good. Holmes’ Hole seems des tined to become a port of some consequence to steam ships. SinoviaR.—We learn that the St. Patrick, now on her way to this port from Liverpool, has one thousand bushels of potatoes among her cargo.— When we take into consideration the present starv- ing condition of Great Britain, the importation of these potatoes must appear to be a piece of most ex- | traordinary enterprise.
