The new Pope was making numerous small reforms, but the great questions had all been submitted to a council of Cardinals, and ulterior measures were postponed until'the report of that bod was made. In the meantime the greatest tranquillity prevail- ed Loth in the eity and in the provinces and, as the new Pontif is deservedly popular, no fears were enterta ned of that sound state of things be- | ing disturbed. M. Rossi,the French Ambassador presented, om the 4th, his credentials, and was most handsomely received by the Pope. I presume you have learned before this, and perhaps announced to your readers, that the go- vernment of Naples has, by ordinance, reduced the duty on fabricated tobacco from 30 ducats to 18 ditewts the quintal, arid on leaf tobaceo from 15 to dueats. No exception is made against Virgi- nia tobaceo, and the United States will conse- quently profit by the reduction. Spain. Our accounts from Madrid are of the 10°h ult.

In Wales the principal ma- kers are still working at rail orders, and are not disposed to take further orders, unless at advanced prices. A much greater number of railway bills have received the royal assent than were expected ; and the demand for iron to supply all these works must be very great for se- veral years to come, providing no revulsion takes place to stay their progress.

The continued propitious state of the weather, and promising appearance of the wheat crops, added to the small stock of cotton held by the trade, may be considered as substantial grounds for anticipating a revival in demand at no distant period the dearth of news from the United States serv: a great measure to deter buyers from operating more ex. tensively, and until we are put in possession of the vices of the 26th ultimo and Ist instant, by the Great Western and Caledonia mers, things are not likely to undergo any materi: rrived in England, but as the accounts by her cannot come to hand in time for us to notice in the present report, the ‘effect that their con tents wil fer i ll the next o; when we shall also have ed our dis; by the latter conveyance.

New York, Tuesday, August 4, 1846, ‘The News from Europe—The Ratification of the Oregon Treaty. The lightning line announced, early yesterday raorning, the arrival of the Hibernia at Boston, with twelve days later intelligence from Europe, that isto say to the 19th ult. About dinner time we received our despatches, and in the evening the Long Island train came in with the mails. The news thus received is interesting and im- portant. The most interesting piece of news is that of the ratification of the Oregon treaty by the British government. We learn that General Armstrong. our popular and highly respected consul at Liver- | pool, arrivedin the Hibernia, and reached this city last evening en route to Washington, as bear- er of the ratified treaty, and of despatches from ices |~Mr. McLane to our government. It will be recol- |lected that General A. left here on the 26th of June in the Great Western, as bearer of | the treaty to England, and now he is here again. | This is quick work. The intelligence of the settlement of the Oregon question created the liveliest gratification through- | Out Great Britain.

It isto be hoped. that only bonfires will | be used to light the nations of the world to the | | According to our advices, there is not the slight- | est prospect of any interference on the part of | Great Britain in our war with Mexico, other than the friendly offer of mediation. The commercial accounts do not vary mate- tially from those received by the Great Britain.— announced his determination to carry out the free trade measures commenced by Sir Robert Peel. All the free trade members of parliament had been clected; and the new ministry must plainly see that the only way in which they can sustain themselves, is to adopt the principles of the old cabinet in relation to free trade. If they do this, and bend to circumstances in all great measures, they may remain in power longer than their opponents anticipate ; but on the contrary, if they -attempt to carry any measure in opposi- tion to those principles, their term of office will be limited. The position taken by the new ministry had re- stored public confidence, and business had be- come again settled. Parliament willbe dissolved by the middle of August, when the political ques- tions of the day will be at rest, and we may then look for considerable activity in commercial af- fairs. The American Congress and the British Parliament adjourn about the same time; when the people of both countries will be relieved from the continual excitement caused by the agitation or alteration of those laws regulating the com- mercial policy of each nation. Business will be allowed, for a time, to go on free from those restraints any contemplated change in commercial laws places upon it, and we see nothing to prevent a very prosperous pe- riod. In relation to trade there is nothing new. Money was plentier than it had been for some time previous, and quotations for funds show a slight advance, The cotton market was active, and prices firm, indicating a healthy state of that tiade. The corn markets were inactive, and prices very much depressed, in consequence of the immense quantity of grain and breadstuffs forced forward for sale under the new duty. We have received a very interesting letter from Mr. Bennett, which we intend te publish in to- morrow’s Herald. Congressional — Warehouse Bill in the Se- nate—Veto of the River and Harbor Bill. The Senate agreed to the amendment made by the House to the Warehouse bill, and it therefore only wants the signature of the President to be: come a law. There was a very interesting debate in the House upon the President’s veto message on the River and Harbor bill, and several members availed themselves of this opportunity to charge the President with inconsistency and duplicity, One of the objections to the bill was, that the money appropriated for this purpose was wanted tocarry on the ‘war with Mexico. There is no doubt but that there has been some log rolling in this business, as it would be otherwise difficult to account for the sudden change in the position o¢ the executive. It is highly probable that this bill will pass by a two-thirds vote and become a law, notwithstanding the veto, This River and Harbor bill has been a stum- bling block to several Presidents. President Ty- ler carried off one in his pocket, and the first veto of President Polk is on this bill. The Mexican War. The latest advices from the Rio Grande are to the effect that the United States forces had ta- ken Camargo, without meeting with any op- position; and that there were only some three hundred Mexican soldiers stationed at Monterey. If this be true, and we have no reason to doubt it, our army will be obliged to penetrate the inte- rior before they can have a fight, if they can get one atall outof the Mexicans. At the taking of ; Camargo, the Mexican General Carrabajal was { alteration.

We are confirmed in the opinion we formerly expressed, that this war will never be terminated | until the fortress of San Juan de Ulloa shall have been captured, and an American army shall be | on the road to the capital, or some really impor- tant revolution takes place in Mexico. The suc- cessful bombardment of San Juan d’Ulloa would produce an effect ; that is what is wanted, The New-York Pilots. We perceive that the organ of the clique of | under-writers is again at its work. Not satisfied with heaping abuse on the pilots of this port, for a series of years past, it has renewed the at- tack; and as formerly, omits ro accusation that can further its motives, or tend to injure these hardy and enterprising men. The organ of the cligve, as is its habit, when it endeavors to bolster up a weak case, premises its remarks with a little special pleading, and plaus- ible sophism, for the want of facts upon which to base an argument. After expending some breath in this way, it proceeds to say, that there are three sets of pilots in this port, each competing with the other—each having distinct interests, and all competent s These are mere assertions. There are not three law of 1387 destroyed all competition, as we can prove. Since that law was passed, the clique of underwriters and stock-jobbers brought into being a class of pilots from Jersey, and elsewhere, who received all the patronage it could influence. Cir- eulars were addressed by this eligue and such a- gents or consiguees who chose to make themselves their aiders and abettors, to the eaptains and offi- cers oF arriving in this port, directing them y uo pilots but the protegés of the clique f utring their displeasure. The t the New York pilots were ry competition; and a part loss of human life that occurred O11 OFF Const last winter, Was justly attributed to the state of U1 olage of (as port, was th of thy | between the pilots, a New York pilot was almost invariably the first to board their vessels and take thei into port—but contrary to. custom and pre- lu cases where | ‘he general elections in Kentucky commenced yes | the oflivers of vessels refused to make distinction cedent, they are not allowed by the clique to pilot the same vessels to’sea again. The great incentive to risk their lives in going hundreds of miles to sea in search of vessels,was, that by custom the pilot who took a vessel into harbor, invariablyypiloted the same vessel to sea on her return voyage. Some of those circulars spoken of are in the hands of the Committee of Congress which has the pilot matter in charge; and in proof of the latter assertion, we refer the pub- lic to the list of vessels that have been piloted in by the New York pilots, and taken out by the others, which we published a few months since inthe Herald. © We think this)is conclusive that there is no competition. AS regards the competency of the pet pilots, we know nothing and say nothing. The organ ofthe clique again brings up the | wrecks of the land Mexico. Surely it can- not suppose that public opinion has not yet ren- j.dered a verdict on that catastrophe, and acquitted ‘the old pilots ftom all censure or blame in | the premises. ither is it ignorant of the ‘fact, that petitions without number, issued by our most influential citizens, are now before Congress, praying repeal of the law, and , that resolutions of the same kind have been vo- ciferously carried at public meetings, in this city | andelsewhere. We apprehend all this is well | known to the éditor of the clique’s organ, but he | must act as if hie were ignorant of them to fur- | ther the motivés of the clique. The organ wildly asserts again, that no one is wronged by the existing law. This is equally untrue. y The New York "pilots were possessed of rights | that the law of 1887 deprived them of—and that in an unjust and inconsiderate manner. Before | the passage) of this law, the pilotage of this port | was under the care of the Legislature of this | State; and this body made it imperative on each pilot to serve an apprenticeship of five or seven years, and go through the ordeal of an examina- | tion, before he was allowed to follow the busi- | ness. Congress took the matter out of the hands | of the Legislature, and threw the pilotage open to the whole world, and thus swept away the | rights which they devoted at least five years of | labor and hardship to acquire. How then can | such an assertion be put forth,that the present law wrongs no one? On the contrary the basest in- justice is done by that law. We have now taken up and refuted the asser- tions which the organ put forth yesterday. We trust Congress is acquainted with the true state- ment of the case,and we hope that it will speedily re-instate the pilots of this port in the enjoyment of their rights, by repealing the unjust law of 1837, and placing the p.lotage of this port where it right- fully belongs—under the control of the Legislature. We will then have abundance of competition, and justice will have been rendered to a class of | men, the equalof whom cannot be found in the world, We shall again revert to this important sub- ject. Tu Cauirornia Exrgpirion.—The California iegiment is now fairly encamped on Governor’s Island, where they are drilling and making pre- parations for embarkation in about three weeks. | They will go out in three merchant ships, with a convoy of the sloop-of-war Preble. A company from Steuben county, a fine looking lot of men, arrived yesterday. The regiment will make on the voyage eleven stopping places. These will, probably, comprise most of the South American ports on both sides of the country. They will sail about the 20th. In addition to the above our readers will see by an advertisement in this paper that a company of mounted men in addition to Colonel Stevenson’s, is being raised for Cali- fornia. We are glad of this, because there are hundreds of our enterprising young men who were much disappointed in not being able to join Colonel Stevenson’s expedition. This company will be officered by men of talent and military experience, and will consist of the flower of our youth. | Theatrical and Musical.

Mos at Couumaia, Ark —We find the following in the Little Rock Gazetie of the 13th ult: More than a year ago, in Chicot county, where the slave population far exceeds that of the white, on the plantation of Col Welworth, a rich planter, the overseer was found murdered in the field—having received two stabs in the back, and a wound in the hinder part of the head. William, a slave, was charged with the crime, and tried at the ensuing Circuit Court, which came on inthe fall. The evidence left no doubt of aod a io the minds of reasonable men, ) et, strange to say, the jury at the spring term : it came on, and he was found gaily | | of murder in the first degree.
