Thursday, September 17, (846, ¢ commercial relations have be- oven with those of the principal tries of Enrope, that the advent of each 1 is looked to with the greatest interest and anxiety in thiscountry. France and England, the two greatest nations of Eurepe, are so intimately connected with us in the bonds of commerce, that whatever affects them affects us. Even the po- litical changes that may from time to time occur in the domestic arrangements of the principal countries of Europe, are watched by us with no little interest; and consequently on the eve of a steamei’s arrival every one is on the tiptoe of ex- | pectation, and even business operations are af- fected by olor of the expected intelligence. A cursory glance a the aifairs of Europe, will give our readers an idea of the importance to be attached to the news by the next steamer. Engiand has latel ot a new ministry, unsta_ f, looking for aid and strength to the tion on the ruins of which it has got er, and courting success by sewing om its aera rag from the political garment of every party—protectionists, conservatives, ble into po radicals, re- pealers, and its own party proper, the whigs, A great princi, le has triumphed, and involved in that triumph is the defeat of the man who uchieved it—Sir Robert Peel.

Eng) at present enjoying the bless- ings o° free trad With, as itisas yet, an un- tried theory ; but “Coming events cast their shadows before.” And if we may judge of the state of affairs, that the new tariff will superinduce, by the actual prosperity that we now enjoy, the substance will far exceed the shadow in the plenitude ot its fruit. We therefore look forward with the most happy anticipations to the next commercial news from Europe. We also look forward with a great deal of interest to the political intelligence from the different countries we hove named. The steamship Cambria, from Liverpool, is | fully due. She has been at sea nearly thirteen days, and we may receive her advices by the lightning line any moment. We shall issue an extra at the earliest moment after the receipt of the news, price two cents, and cheap enough ot that. Faut Erxction.—The three political parties are preparing for the contest coming off early in No- vember. None ofthe nominations have been of- ficially announced, but the committees are hard at work upon them; and the dear people willy soon be presented with a list of individuals, | anxious to fill the numerous offices in the gift of the victorious party. Governor Wright has been shaking hands with the democracy at the City Hall, and all those pre- liminary movements made which are considered soimportantto personal popularity. There appears to be at present a very serious split in the demo- cratic party in relation to the candidate for Go- | The Mexican War=Its Object and its Effects, | Unvler ordinary circumstances, the citizens of | the United States are as much opposed to war, aud particularly a war of invasion, as the people | of any country, and this, too, for good and suffi- ‘ cient reasons. We are, as it were, an isolated people—we are distant from the nations of the old world, who, in times past, have been engaged in olmost incessant warfare, growing out of jealousies and sectional prejudices—we are, be- sides, en agricultural people, and our pursuits are utterly inconsistent with war—agnculture and war being, in all ages, antagonistic. We are, notwithstanding, at war, and that too with a neighboring republic—situated in the } same hemisphere with ourselves, but with a peo- ) ple diametrically opposed to usin every way in which mankind can differ—and the war, too, is popular, because it must result in our acquiring a large accession of valuable territory at present lying worthless. This makes the war popular with the masses of our people; but we would be sorry to charge that the country had no other mo- tive in prosecuting it than the acquisition of gain. We did not bring it on—on the contrary, | we kept it off as long as we could, and it | wes not until our blood had been spilt on | our own invaded territory, that we acknow- | ledged war to exist. Having acknowledged ; it, it became our duty to vurselves and to the world, to prosecute it with the utmost vigor, in order to force a speedy peace. There exists, however, a division of opinion about the results—formed on the assumption that because California, atall events, if not more of the Mexican territory, will eventually fall into our | hands by way of indemnity—that our country | would be then extended more to the southward than the anti-slavery portion of our people think would be consistent with the abrogation of slave- ry, to whichgthey are pledged; and that the States | and territories that would be formed of the terri- | tory thus acquired, would give the South a pre- | ponderance in our national councils, that would be fatal togthe interests of the North and West, and operate to perpetuate slavery. We confess we cannot perceive these difficul- ties in the acquisition of Southern territory. The interests of the whole country are identical, and | will be so as long as the confederacy exists; andin | regard to the extension of slavery, we are of opin- ion that they are groundless. On the contrary, we rather believe that it will tend to promote the gradual extinction of slavery, thathas been going on for many years. the system of slavery under which the Mexicans | have suffered since the destruction of the consti- | tution of 1824, and which has been more gahing | and insufferable, and infinitely more unbearable, than the system of slavery existing in the South- ern States, The extinction of this slavery would be imme- | diate and decisive, and would elevate the Mexi- ean people to a political level with ourselves. {[t would also tend to diminish slavery in the old slave States, by drawing off the surplus negro po- pulation to | territory, and scattering new inhabitants, the majority of whom would | consist of emigrants and adventurers, into whose minds abolitionism was instilled at the earliest age. These emigrants and adventurers would come from all parts of the United States, and the different countries of Eurcpe, in thousands, the moment the new territory was acquired—they would leave their homes and firesides in their na- tive lands, and rush to the land of promise. with the hope of bettering their fortunes, and enjoying the benefits ofour glorious institutions, in a region wiequalled for salubrity of climate and the fertili- ty of the soil. 1t would operate iff another way to promote the gradual extinguishment of slavery | in the present slave States, by increasing the emi- gration that has been going on for some years past to the State of Virginia from New York, New Je: sey and the New England States, of the old fash- ioned Dutch and thrifty farmers. Within a few years this emigration has become very extensive; and land which a short time ago was considered worn out and unprofitable for further cultivation, has, under the magic influence of Northem en- | terprise and industry been regenerated, and con- verted into a state of fertility equal to what it was two hundred years ago. Wherever these hardy emigrants have settied, it is remarked that the slave population has disappeared. Slave labor cannot compete with their’s—what will it be then | when a great part of the slave population will be | withdrawn to the newly acquired territory ? The emigration will of course increase from the New England States aad from Europe; and before many years some of the States which now rank | as slave States, will be free States, Virginia being | the first to declare its independence. What will | happen in Virginia ,will oceur in other slave States, and the same results will follow. On the whole, therefore, we are disposed to be- | lieve that none of the evils apprehended by the anti-slavery men, will follow the acquisition of Southern territory. On the contrary, we believe | | \ | | | | vernor, but we have goed faith in the cohesive na- | that it will accelerate the abolition of slavery in ture of the democracy, and are therefore satisfied that all the difficulties which may now and up to the time of the election exist between the various cliques, will be wiped out and settled on or be- | the p fore that am . It would not be safe for their oppo- her’ ae. jculate upon any division in the demo ks, for any increase in their own strength Tammany Hall has seen darker days than these. | Compniments oF THr Season.—Our city fathers will extend their hospitality this day to the officers of the Dutch men of war in our harbor, to Major | Gen. Gaines, and to Gov. Wright, in case he re- mains in the city. A dinner will be given at | Nowlan’s Hotel, on Harlem River, and if it be one prepared in tue manner for which the worthy host is so celebrated, we are sure that not only will the guests be gratified, but the epicurean taste of our turtle-eating aldermen be properly cared for. These attentions on the part of the representatives of the city, though, apparently, of little moment, yet tend to create a cordial under- standing between the inviters and invitees, which cannot but eventuate for the good of both nations The compliment to Gen. Gaines, too, is one as deserved on the one hand as it is creditable to the other. In addition to the above-named guests, we understand that diflerent officers of the army end navy, including all those now in our city who were engaged in the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma will be present. Packet Suir Sueaipan.—This fine vessel, unde command of the young and gentlemanly Captain Cornish, will leave this port for Liverpool, on the | pointed by a man calling himself the mana- | 26th inst., being her regular day. Mr. Collins, the proprietor of this line, in order to keep pace with his neighbors, has reduced the price of pas- sage in this ship to seventy five dollars. A large number of her state rooms are now engaged. It would be superfluous to speak now of her capa- cities, and the conveniences afforded for a quiet, comfortable and quick conveyance across the Atlantic. Although there are buttwo ships, to our knowledge, in the regular line that take passen- gers at this rate, we have reason to believe thai the above figure will be shortly adopted by the Proprietors of the lines generall Arrointment.—Our commercial friends will be rejoiced to know that Captain Charles Bartling, a war-worn veteran of high character and ability, as the underwriters of New York and Philadel- phia well know, has been appointed keeper of the light sbip off Sandy Hook, in place of Captain Moriarty, deceased. This appointment will give universal satisfaction ; for if the * ground tackle” of the ship beas tenacious as Captain Bart in the line of duty, the light-ship will be as fast anchored as the ‘rock of ages,” or as the worthy captain is in the hearts of his friends. ling is | both the old.States and the new. Tae Devawane Lorreriss anp THEIR Fraps aGain.—A few days since we called the attention of ublic, and the authorities, to the frauds which are practised in these abominable lotteries, and | pointed, out the course by which the people of | this State, and more particularly of this city, may effectually rid themselves of this nuisance, name- ly, by indicting those persons who are acting as the agents for these lotteries in this city. This done, our duty ceases. But we are informed, and from a reliable source, too, that the matter will not rest with those who have facts, and testimony strong as holy writ, of the fraudulent transactions | of those connected with two of the lotteries | drawn at the city of Wilmington, State of Dela- ware. Those two are known by the following names§and titles, viz., “The Delaware Lottery for improving the Navigation of the Pokomoke River,” and “‘ The Pokomoke River Lottery of Pokomoke River.” | &The frauds before and above referred to, consist n part of attempting to draw these lotteries pri vately, ina small room, and in a retired part of a public-house, with the only door and window of this reom fastened on the inside, preventing i gress and egress during the drawing. Another | great cause of complaint, which we think is im- proper and illegal, is the substituting a person not a legally appointed commissioner, to draw the | | | e! r | lotteries, in the place of one who was a legally | rudim appointed commissioner, and this person ap- ger’s agent in Wilmington. We have also | been credibly informed that this agent has | absolute control of these lotteries, and can, as he has attempted to do, exclude any and | every person from the room where the wheel of fortuno performs its revolutions twice on | each day, which were created for a more honest, and certainly a more laudable and praiseworthy | purpose. We have it also from undoubted au- | thority, that this agent has several times sent to this city by means of the magnetic telegraph, fraudulent numbers, purporting to have been drewn from this famous wheel of fortune. These are buta few of the numerous frauds which we | are informed can be sustained against this vile | loitery business. The whole of this business, from beginning to end,we understand, will be presented to the Legislatnre of Delaware at the preper time, as preparatory steps have already been taken to effect this most desirable reform. | On the $d inst, Rev.

If their path in a foreign territory is to be cut by the sword, strong minds guide and strong arms carry the weapons with which to overcome all obstacles ; if they are to settle down quietly in possession of the soil, there are hands used to toil, and implements of husbandry and mechanical art ready to be devo- | ted to the improvement of the ground they oc- cupy. Ineither case, whether their course iste be one of conquest and just retaliation, er of peaceful occupation, the expedition is composed of material well provided with men and means, and one that will do credit tothe State, which is honored in the selection of her sons, for the first body of troops sailing from the United States toa foreign land. Much has been said, and much unjustly, rela- tive to the organization of the regiment, and many have beeu the sneering remarks thrown out, predicting that a corporal’s guard would be all remaining, by the time thatthe day appointed for embarkation came round. The present actual position and force of the regiment, is the best an- swer to all such aspersions. Ten companies, the full complement of the force, show a muster roll of over 700 men, being as many as are allowed to enlist; a band of excellent musici is organ- ized ; the ships to convey the troops to their desti- nation are chartered, prepared and ready for sea ; a powerful armament of cannon, guns, mor- tars, and in fact, of every thing neces- sary for either a regiment of dragoons, artillery, or infantry has been furnished; clothes, provi- sions, and necessary equipments of every sort have been provided; the men themselves are contented, and anxious to start; the officers gene- rally are men of military knowledge. and expe- rience ; some ofthem, and indeed all of the field officers, with the exception of the Colonel, have heid situations as professors at West Point, which is the best evidence of their fitness for the duties assigned them ; and now that this whole body of American citizens, mechanics, and farmers, com- manded by able men, are abeut to go from among us, itis wrong that any of the press of the State, whieh calls them her own, should endeavor to mar the good results and good feeling to be de- rived from their efforts, on account of political or personal prejudice against one or more of the officers. Col nel Stevenson, who commands the expe- dition, has had a most admirable opportunity of displaying his perseverance and fitness of charac- ter to enter upon a bold enterprise, from the com- mencement ofthe organization of the regiment up tothe present time; probably there are but few men in the country who could design and carry | through a project so complicated, in as successful | amannerashe has done. Attacked on every side by poktical enemies, or disappointed seekers for an approach tothe rank which he holds; retard- | ed by the non-action of the governor of this State, | who seems, for some private reasons, to have | granted unwillingly, and but by degrees, the aid | which his station enabled him to afford ; “encum- | bered with the supervision and necessayy disci- pline of 7 or 800 men, unused to restraint of any | kind, he has displayed an energy and boldness | which qualify him in a supereminent degree for a commander of a bouy of troops, which departs | upon a business requiring the utmost acumen and | perseverance. To Colonel Stevenson, and to his Lieutenant-Colonel, Major and: Adjutant, the | whole credit is due for carrying to a prosperous | crisis, an expedition fraught with interest to eye: | American citizen. d | We say nothing ofthe ultimate results to be | expected from this expedition. Thi United tates | government is fully aware of the rtance, judging from the liberal manner ich all ne- | cessary outfits have been granted; and we can but wish them that success which seems almost certain to arise from the elements composing their power. We have perfeot confidence in the judgment and skill of the superior officers; and as for the men, they are, and all must have, too much at heart the honor of their country ever to disgrace her flag. The fifteen or twenty of them who took advantage of the baby act, and left the | regiment, could well be spared—their places were by better men; and, at a future day, we lope that the expedition which is soon to sail by their deeds of honor, acquire a name which no one would be unwilling to have bestow- edon himself.

The Parisian critics, who | are the most difficult to pasts, and who were illdi | ed to a the palm of greatness to any one after Paga- nini, were nevertheless enthusiastic in their praiso of Si- | vori's genius. Ho has travelled over the ontire continent of | Europe, as well and and Irelan every where | he met with di shed success. He will give his first concert a few ay ifter his arrival in this city, and the | only difficulty will be to procure a house sufficiently | large to contain the crowds that will throng to hear the first tones of his magical bow. His appearance here will | form a new epoch in the history of music in this coun- | try.

Serr. 16—Tyrial for Grand Larceny.—Barbara Hout was called to trial ona charge of grand larceny, in steal. ing two dresses, a silk shawl, anda small box contaning a gold chain, two pairs of ecar- and $7 50 in silver coin, the property of Nathaniel Lindenbourn, and aileged to be worth upwards of $50. On the part of the prosecution it was shown in evi- dence, that the accused acknowledged the theft, and | gave information where she had concealed the property There were, however, some doubts as to the value of the | property exceeding $29, ani the jury accordingly found he accused guilty of petit larceny only, and the court sent her to tho Penitentiary for the term of six months. Trial for Receiving Stolen Goods.—Robert Hudson was then plactd at the bar for trial, ona charge of having on the 5th of January last, received from colored man named Charles Moore, a cask of rice, knowing the same to have been stelen. From the evidence adduced on the part of the prosecution, it appeared that the celored man Charles Moore, who was then in the em As Mesars. Wheeler & Van Benschoten, called at the collar or juok shop kept by Hudson in Maiden Lave, for the Vd of | informing a person whom he had seen there and supposed to be Hudson, that he might send a cart for the cask of rice which he had d to let him have ; that witness then saw the accused, who employed a cart to convey the rice to ‘Peck Slip Ferry, whither he accompanied the | cartman with the property. §. Warner, £sq., counsel for | the accused, here raised a point of law, contending that idence and the indictment were at direct variance defendant being cherged in the indictment with re ceiving stolen goods, whereas the evidence went to prove that he was a principal in the larceny. ‘The case will be resumed to-morrow morning, until when the court adjourned.

Eastern Travet.—The steamer Atlantic, Capt. Dus- tan, left our cityon her last trip with se or eight | hundred passeagers. Tho evening before, she brought this way nearly a thousand. As the searon advances, and boisterous weather is Kg to be met with, the jour- | ey eastward by the Norwich and Worcester line seems to be the favorite one to the traveling public, not only on | account of the pleasantuess of the route. but from the | superiority of the boats for rough navigation employed on the line. Mititany.—A fine looking corps, the F. G’s, accom- ied by the Brooklyn ‘Brass ‘Band a re office rday morning, on a target excursion. Awnxixe Posts.—A resolution has been introduced be- fore the aldermen of our city for the removal! of all awn- ing posts in Broadway, and other partsof the city. it is to be hoped that the committee to whom the subject was referred will act promptly in the matier, and not make a peulo post futurum ot the business.

Puesevrenian Counc, Aston Puace.—Last Sunday evening, according to previous and public announce- ment, the Rev. Dr. Tyng continued vice in this sanctuary, and delivered a truly evangelical sermon from the 2d chapter of St. Luke, verses 34 and 36 : “This ebild is set for the fall and rising again of many | in Israel ; and for a sign to be spoken against : that the | thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” It will be remembered that this passage contains the prophetic de- claration of the venerable patriarch Simeon to the Vir- Saviour, foreshowing what would be the effects of the ministry of Christ upon the hearts and character of different classes of persons, and the violent opposition which the progress of the gospel would meet with ia the successive generations of man- kind. Having, by way of introduction discussed and il- Justrated at some length, the antagonism to which chris- tianity had been subjected, and the varied results conse- quent on the dissemiuation of her doctrines and precepts, which had been exhibited in the practical conduct and false professions of society in general, and the broad line of demarkation by which men were even now os really separated on the right or left hand of the Redeem- er, as they would be inthe solemn day of judgment.— ‘The preacher proceeded to consider and enforce as the prominent subject of discussion, the infallible test pre- sented in the text, in connection with the setting forth, | or the faithful preaching of Christ, under the following heads, viz :—As revealing the secret thoughts of men in reference to the reception of Christ in the pleasing and gratuitous offer of salvation, as the only way of ob- taining eternal lite to the total exclusion of all works, merit, claim or right on the heart of man, and which re- quisition had invariably aroused the latent enmity and bitter hatred of the pharasaical and self-righteous, as re- vealing the secret thoughts of men in reference to the holiness auc spirituality of mind required by the gospel. Toa more formal religion, men did not object ; but the spirituality of “ pure and undefiled religion” was offen- sive and ebhorrent to the pride and depravity of the au- man hegrt, and which not unfrequent manifested its malignant spirit ia the enclosure of social circle, causing the amenities of domestic life and the fondness of parental affection entirely to papeste. in rancorous hatred against the member of a family in whom the spi- rituality of religion was discovered, &c.—as revealing the secret thoughts of men, in reference to the renun- ciation of self: for the enmity of the carnal mind was istantly excited when the demand was made to exer- | cise faith and contrition of soul, implicit obedience to _ the laws of Christ, and a complete dependence for salva- | tion upon the meritorious sacrifice and propitiation of the Son of God. Jt was in vain for men to talk of the emptiness and dissatisfaction of this world, when all their energies were devoted, and their chief delight ta- ken, inthe pursuit of earthly objects, thereby proving the falsity of their professions and the unsoundness 4 practice, demonstrative of their aisrelish and ha- trad for the nal joys and everlasting employments of to have 4) before them the banquet ast, wi ‘ires and tastes which would refuso the gracious invitation of a gospel guest, ko. The preacher concluded with a brief but searching ap- plication to the consciences of his numerous auditory, urging them, without delay, to ascertain in what posi- tion they were placed by the testimony of the piou: pa- triarch, and whether tne “child” Jesus would be to them a Saviour of life unto life, or of death unto deeth, fer He was both the foundation stone on which alone rested the LG the} the true and humble believer, and the stumbling of those who rejected his met s and whose pressure, falling upon them with its punitive weight, would crush and grind into powder. The at- , tractive features which render the of the reverend Doctor so popular, consist in a very delivery and fervid juence, florid declami earnest and close appeals to the conscience.

MONEY MARKET. ‘Wednesday, Sept. 16—6 P. M. Things are a little better to-day in Wall street. Prices for several of the fancies improved a fraction. Norwich and Worcester advanced 34; Reading 34; Harlem 4g; Can ton }; Pennsylvania $’s '¢; Long Island and Vicksburg closed at yesterday’s pric Thero were no sales of Morris Canal. At the second board prices fell off a fraction, with sales to some extent of Harlem. The Boston money market is represented as being very easy, and the ruling rate of interest very much reduced. There was, however, no activity in stocks, although the really good investments were very few. Lowell Railroad was worth 143g a 15, Concord 29} a 2934, Fitch- burg 18% for fall stock, and 11 for scrip, Worcester 12%, Maine 9; Eastern 4%, and Providence 8 per cent ac~ vance. Western was firm at 99}g; Old Colony 99a 99}; Northern 99; Vermont Central 88 a 89; and Cheshire 89. Connecticut river and Portland, Saco and .Portsmouth, Doth dull at 91, asked. The movement for an interior line of railroad affects the latter sensibly, although its success is doubtful. Norwich and Worcester, Reading, Long Island, Wilmington, &e., are governed by New York and Philadelphia sales. Manufacturing and insu- rance corporation stocks remain without change in no- minal value, but no transactions of consequence have re- cently taken place. N.E. Worsted has doclined to 53 offered, and 62 asked. ‘The Boston Insurance Company makes a semi-annual dividend of five per cent, and the Lawrence Manufactu ring Company pays its stockholders a similar dividend. The Boston and Maine Railroad annual report states its presentcost at $2623,899, of which $991,197 was ex” pended on the new line between Boston and Wilming ton. The receipts for the year ending June Ist wero $334,693, incluting 33,928 of reserved profits. From passengers $190,516 were received; $94,956 from freight, and $15,297 from mails and miscellaneous. The expen- ditures were $172,916, including $20,000 put to acccunt of depreciation of engines, cars, &c., and the net profits $161,782. There were two dividends of 3}¢ per cent each, amounting to $138 810; leaving a balance on hand of $22,972. The earnings in June, July, and August of this year were $102,375, against $72,674 in those months last year. ‘The receipts of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company for the month of August in each of the past three years, have been as annexed :— 81 . $i 5 ‘on “Goods © 3,373 10 41436 10/088 43 do do Coal., 62,075 29 110,288 84 199,029 71 U.S. Mail, &e..5 "783 83 783 793 33 $76,997 60 $224,345 87 Cozl transported. . 95.412 137, It will be observed that there has been a very great in croase in the receipts from the transportation of coal, without a corresponding increaze in the quantity of coal transported. This bas been produced by the high tariff of charges.compared with previous years. The railroad hasenjoyed the monopoly of the business of the Schuyl- Ieill coal region the whole of this year, and the compa- ny have, therefore, made its own price for transporting coal. The enlargement of the Schuylkill Caral is now open od for navigation from Philadelphia to Reading. The whole line will not be navigable before the middle of Oc. tober at least, and it is possible there will be no business | of any account inthe way of transporting coal to tide water, done on the canal this year, but it will be put into complete order for the opening of the coal business in the spring. This canal will be a powerful competitor for the coal trade of the Schuylkill mines, and cannot but cut into the business of the railroad very materially. It is believed by many that the Reading Railroad will doa larger business this year than in any future ono. Its ca- pacity hus been pretty well tested, and its facilities been fully employed; and as extensive as they are, have at times proved insufficient for the amount of business of- fering. The Schuylkill coal business will hereafter be divided between the Reading Railroad and the Schuylkill Canal. It may in time be extensive enough to give full employment to bath companies, but we think a division now will have a very injurious and depressing influence upon the market value of each. Canals cannot success” fully compete with railroads, and it is, therefore, our im. | pression that the canal company will be the severest sufferers in the contest which is about commencing. The amount of business done for this year by the Reading Railroad Company, is at a rate which ensures an immense aggregate income for the whole season, and it would suffice for the payment of agood dividend upon the total cost of the road and appurtenances. It is, how- ever, hardly probable that the company will declare a dividend while the floating debt is of any magnitude, The amount of business on the Pennsylvania Canal for the month of August, and the total forthe season, ac” cording to returns made et Pittsburg, has been os an nexed :— Pernevuvanta Caxat—IMroats ayo Expomts at Prrrspura.
