, YORK HERALD. turday, July 18, 1846, “Lllustrated Weekly. The Weekly Herald will be ready for delivery at 8 e’olock this morning. It will be illustrated with a Plan of the Burnt District in Nantucket, with the particulars of the recent terrible conflagiation in that town; also with a splendid view of Port Brown, in Texas, opposite Matamoras, the fort that the brave Capt. Hawkins would not surrender to Arista. It is said that Hawkins did not understand Spanish, when Arista sent him a note in that language, to strike his colors for the ‘sake of Iwnanity.” Single copies sixpence each The Foreign News—Kesignauion of the Peel Ministry. By the arrival of the steam ship Cambria at Boston, from Liverpool, we have fifteen days later intelligence from all parts of Europe. In a political point of view the news is highly interesting, and of the greatest importance. The Corn and Customs bills had passed, but the Minis- | try split upon the Irish Coercion bill, having been in @ minority of seventy-three upon that question. The new council is composed of seve- ral members of the Melbourne Cabinet. Lord John Russell is the Prime Minister. Sir Robert Peel appeared well pleased with the new Minis- | try, but there were very great doubts of its per- | manency. The settlement of the Oregon question created great joy throughout the United Kingdom; anda large part of Sir Robart Peel’s speech, announo- | ing his resignation, was directed to the discussion of American and Mexican affairs, in which he congratulated himself and his country upon the removal of every difficulty heretofore existing be- | tween the United States and Great Britain, | andan amicable adjustment of the political and | commercial relations of the two countries. The commercial advices are rather favorable than | otherwise, under the circumstances. Money was | abundant, and quotations for stocks firm. Cot- | ton had slightly improved in prices, without any material improvement in the demand. The | ehanges in the cabinet had not depressed busi- | ness so much as have been expected. It was anticipated that an immediate dissolu- | tion of Parliament would take place, to enable the new ministry to form its plans, and to become established. The next news from England will | be looked for with the greatest anxiety, as the ra- | tification of the Oregon treaty will devolve upon the new Cabinet. The Great Britain has been at sea twelve days, and she will be due on Mon- | day or Tuesday next. ' Tae Maenetic TetscrarH.—We give in ano- ther part of this journal a synopsis of the foreign news by the steamer Cambria, which arrived at Boston yesterday evening. The news of the arri- val of the steamsip was transmitted to this office bythe Boston and New York telegraph, at the time when she was first observed sailing towards Boston. She was then forty miles distant, and her news was received at this office and set up in type by 11 o’clock the same evening. The country is beginning to experience the be- nefits resulting from this great invention; and no doubt, when the different lines throughout the eountry shall be perfected and in operation, they will entirely supercede the old fashioned method of transmitting news. Boston and Washington @re now within speaking distance ef each other, and both connected with this city. When the Southern line shall have been completed as far South as New Orleans, and West as far as Buffa- lo, those distant points, and all the intermediate cities, will be brought so nearly in contact with this city, that they will form, as it were, suburbs | or faubourgs of the great commercial metropolis of the United Sta’es. As it is, we received news from Washington at the same moment that we were receiving it from Boston; and the despatches that respectively came from those distant points, are, by the magic influence of this extraordinary agency, transferred to the columns of this day’s Heratd. The telegraph is only in its infancy as yet— when it bas reached the state of perfection which it is capable of reaching, results still more won- derful than these may be expected. Yacuts anv Yacuttne.—The subject of yacht- ing has of late begun to attract considerable at- ten‘ion in this country, so that in nearly every eity of the Union where opportunities for indul- ging in the sport are presented, a olub is formed, and in active operation. There are now probably in the whole country about fifty yaelts. In New York alone the squa- 4ron eonsists of about twenty, and in Boston the club is qnite large. These are owned usually by wealthy men, whose amusement it is to glide swiftly over the water in their neat crafts. These yachts vary in size from twenty to one hundred and sixty tons, and cost from a thousand to twenty thousand dollars. Once a year a regatta is held, and the remainder of the time is occupied in matches, pl -asure excursions, and the like The yacht clubs of this country are generally ‘very detaccratic, and not at all resembling the aristocratic clubs of Europe. We are sorry to aay, however, that some of the members ape the lordly airs and feelings of the titled members of the English clubs; but, like all imitators, they fail in their efforts. Generally, however, they are an honorable and whole-souled set of fellows as ever breathed. The sport is of the most manly na- ture, and gives employment to a large number of men, who, by constant practice, become quali- fied as expert seamen and pilots. One of the finest yachts is the Maria, sloop- rigged, and just built, bv John C. Stevens, Esq., Commodore of the New York Yacht Squadron. She is 154 tons burthen, ‘and sits on the water beautifully and gracefully. _ Very Late rrom Havana—Important Rumor. —We learn from Captain Brown, of the Spitfire, arrived yesterday from Key Weit, whence she sailed on the 8th instant, that a fishing smack had reached Key West from Havana, the eaptain of which reported that a British steamer had arny- ed at Havana frem Tampico, with the intelligenee ANOTHER LINE LIGHTNING LINE COMPLETS.

There wasa bright, brilliant flash of lightning over the telegraphic line from Boston yesterday afternoon. Indeed there was a sucéession of flashes, that beautifully lit up nearly every news- paper office in this city. The first flash announced that the steamship Cambria was off Boston ; the next informed us that she was safely moored at the wharf; and the next that she brought some highly important intelligence. It appears that the C. sailed from Liverpool on the 4th, while we were celebrating the day in the midst of a shower. Our advices are from Liver- pool of the 4th, from London of the 3d, from Pa- ris of the Ist, and so on. According to our report, two very important events have oceurred since the 19th ult.—one the passage of the Corn Bill, and the other the. resigna- tion of the Ministry. Other important events have occurred in Europe, but these stand fore- most, On the evening of the 25th ult., the House of Lords passed the third reading of the Corn Bill without a division. Attwo o’clock the next morning, the House of Commons left Sir Robert Peel anc the govern- mentin a minority of seventy-three on the Irish Coercion Bill. On tae 27th, Sir Robert Peel proceeded to the Isle of Wight, for the purpose of tendering hi, own and his colleagues’ resignation to the Queen ; and on Monday night the 29th, he made a length- ened exposition of his motives for resigning, in the House of Commens. We learn that a new ministry was then formed, and consists of the following members :— Privy Seal. . Marquis of Laasdowne. ome arl of Mar. Foreign, do. Sir George Gray. Colonial Secreta Viscount Palmerston. Earl Gray. Lord John Russell. Chas N. Wood. ‘arl of Clarendon. Laboucherre. Fox Maule. Treasury..... Sen for Ireland. Secretary of War Attorney General. Lord Lieut of | id Sir Thos. Wylde. Commander-in-Chief. . Duke of Wellington. We believe that most of the above belong to the Melbourne cabinet. The Duke of Wellington re- mains atthe head of the army, without a seat in the Cabinet. ‘ The London Times regards the new Ministry favorably. Sir Robert Peel views it without jealousy, and with a friendly eye. The general impression is that the new Pre- mier will hastily wind up the business of the ses- sion, and will dissolve Parliament in the coarse the autumn. The Cotton market wasin a healthy but not in | a very active state. Prices had improve:! a shade. The contemplated change in the Sugar dutie has had an injurions effect. The settlement of the Oregon question has pro- duced general joy in England. It arrived on the eve of the dissolution of the Ministry. It is rumored is England that the navigation of | the Columbia river is reserved in perpetuity, and not under the name of Pope Pius IX. His age is \ eight. As regards years, he is one of the youngest | of St. Peter’s successors ; and if all that is said of | him be correct, he cannot _fuail to make a shrewd | temperal ruler, in addition to the functions of his | spiritual office.

The annexed, from our attentive correspondent, gives all the news:— Purrto Capetro, Venezurca, June 97, 1846.

The packet ship Norma, Captain Ellis, arrived yesterday from Havana, whence she sailed on the 6th instant. She does not confirm the report of xhe Spitfire. We learn trom Oaptain Ellis, that on leaving | the port he passed the U. 8. brig Truxton, Com- snander Carpenter, from Norfolk, bound in, and received from her letters and despatches. We also learn that Captain E, while at Havana, made every effort to obtain imformation as to the ‘wuth of the repoit that privateers were fitting out im the different ports of Cuba. The result ef his efforts proved most satisfactorily to him, that there was no foundation for the report. ‘_ he Pre- sident of the Insurance Company offered to effect a policy at the usual rate 14 per cent, taking the war as well as the sea risk.

Two columns and a half of his speech are devo- ted to the settlement of the Oregon question, the relations of Mexico, and his resignation. He says :— “1 do rejoice that before surrendering power at the feet of a ministry of this House, I had the IsBoortuntty of giving them tho official assurance that every cause of quarrel with that great country of the Atlantic, is terminated. ame ool ad foe] that | have now executed the duty imposed upon me. | trust tow mid Jintne which can by possibility lead to the Tecurrence of those — which have been deprecated by all lovers Attention was fixed upon the American tariff, and hopes were entertained by commercial men of all parties in England, that the present session of the American Congress will not terminate with- out a redaction of the rates upon imported goods, The London Times and Chronicle speak favor- ably of the settlement of the Oregon question. Stocks were depressed, and dealers show a reluctance to go beyond their most Pressing wants. The coffee trade has been in a lethargic condi- tion. The money market, change, is firm.

Miss B. is, herself, a graduate of iustitution. In the afternoon, the exercises were the musical de: nt; though the proficiency of jose longest under instruction in astronomy, ancient ‘ory, geometry, and the theory of music, was subject to a most rigid test. We never have witnessed at the recitations of any school or college superior readiness ‘or understanding, than that displayed by those to whom all books are but as a dead letter. The instruction must have been imparted in a most attractive manner, and the attention of the learners strictly given, to have retained ‘such a mass of useful and statistical matter in the memory. The musical exerci alled forth the loud tained chiefly applause of all present. Messrs. Timm, Hill, and Schar, fenburg were present as committee. Amid the voluntaries on the o1 solos, duetts, and dif- 1 ferent pieces executed, all entitled to high praise, it were invidious, perhaps, to select; but we must notice a young lad of but thirteen years, blind almost from his ‘birth, who performed on ‘the piano, in a masterly style, the Storm Rondo. He wasalterwards critically questioned in all the rudiments of the science, and displayed the ty of a musical talent, which one day, we pre- dict, will create a sensation in the world. He is now the organist atthe Asylum. Mr. A. Reiff, to whom the ublic are indebted for his philanthropic interest and jabor in the musical departments, may well be gratified enj proud at the result of his efforts. Premiums were awarded to those of the pupils who had ranked the highest during the last year.

The stock market opened this morning very firm, with an upward tendency in prices, and an improvement Was realized at the first board. Harlem went up 1 per | cent; Norwich and Worcester %; Morris Canal }<; Long Island X; Pennsylvania 6s 3. Reading closed firm at yesterday’s prices. At the second board Harlem improved another quan ter; Norwich anu Worcester %; Reading 34. The sales at either board were not large, and were elmost entirely con’ to the three railroad fancies. The market, how- ever, c firm, with a tendency towards a further im- provement. Mapey is decidedly easier, and the proba bility of an immediate passage of the Treasury note bill, and an immediate issue of the notes, and the fact that a | day has been fixed upon for the final adjournment of Congress, have had a very favorable influence upon the stock market. The adjournment of Congress alone, will be sufficient to renew public confidence, and give an im- petus to business generally, which is very much want- ed, and which all are so anxiously looking for. The proceedings in Congress to-day, were not impor. tant. The tariff and the Treasury note bills are still un- der debate in the Senate. The Treasury note bill will | Probably pass in a day or two, nearly in the shape it passed the House; but the passage of the tariff bill be. comes more doubtful every day. We have made an es timate of the probable vete on the question, and the re- sult of our calculations is, that if either one of the three considered doubtful vote against the House bill, it will be lost. We consider Messrs. Benton, Hannegen and Semple doubtful. Mr. Benton is in favor of a duty upom tea and coffee, as will be sean by the proceedings of the | Senate to-day. This is some indication of the course he will pursue in the premises; and we think his vote will be numbered against the House bill. If the present te riff act is not preserved, the modifications or alterations proposed will not take its place. The Western Railroad Company have declared « divi- | dend of three dollars per share, payable the 16th inst. The Auburn and Syracuse Railroad Company have declared » dividend of four per cent, payable on the Ist of Adgust. The Portsmouth, Saco and Portland Railrosd Company have declared a dividend of three per cent, payable on demand. A dividend of two anda half per cent was, on the let inst. declared on the capital stock of the Bank of Mo- bile, payable on and after the 18th inst. The Alabama Life Insurance and Trust Company, on the 8th inst. declared a dividend of three per cent on thear capital steck for the last six months. ‘We annex the monthly statement ef the banks ef South Carolina, for the purpose of comparing the aggre- gate movements for several periods.

The banks ef South Carolina, amd those of Louisiana, are the only ones in the country which make monthly re- ports. Most of those making any returns at all, make them quarterly. We prefer the monthly reports, but would not object to those made quarterly, if they would give monthly averages; but as the quarterly returns are now made out, they convey a very vague idea of the ac tual condition of the institutions. The regularity of movement exhibited by the banks of South Carolina, during the pasttwo years, has not been equalled by the banks of any other Statein the Union, and is indicative of avery healthy state of trade in that section of the country. While this uniformity of movement is preserved—v-hile there isno evidence of e speculative disposition among those holding the dire tion of those institutions—there is very little danger of any serious derangement in mercantile matters, or of the seeds of a revulsion being sown brondcast throughout the Unien. The above returne show the aggregate movement of all the banks and branches, at four periods.
