New York, , Jane 15, 1847. THE HERALD FOR EUROPE. ‘The steamship Hibernia will sail from Boston to-morrow, and her mails will close in this city this afternoon, at half past five o'clock. The Herald for Europe to go by her, will be ready at the office at half past one o’clock this afternoon. It will contain every thing of import- ance that has transpired from the sailing of the last steamship, and a complete and perfect map of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, showing the sur. veys for a canal, a macadamised road, and a railroad. We have received several letters from different parts of the country recently, enquiring of us how people who resided at a distance from our agentscan obtain this paper. In reply, we would inform the writers that we are disposed to oblige them by all means in our power, and that if they will send a dime in a prepaid letter to our office, we shall take the trouble of mailing the paper to the address of any person in the old world which | they may name. os fiends in the city by leaving the address | of the person to whom they wish to send a eopy, | will be accommodated in the same way by pay- | ing six cents for the paper, and the postage there- on, at the office. pbc ee lewspaper Postage. Our construction of the new postage law has been sustained by the Postmaster General, and by the proper punctuation of the law, as will be seen on reference to another column of this day’s paper. All who wish to send the New York Herald to their friends in the country, at the old tates of postage, can do so. ‘The Condition of the Crops. We have given in another column, a sum- mary of the accounts of the crops through- out the country. We have been attentive to this department since the first opening of he season, and have from day to day published accounts, in brief, of the state of the growing grain and other vegetables; and we have now, at considerable pains, made up a comprehensive view of the whole, so that readers may see at one glance how the face of the country appears in reference to this important interest. Our Foreign Relation s—Seizure of American Vessels.The Governments of Spain and Brazil. There has been for some time past an unplea- fant feeling existing on the part of the govern- ment of Brazil towards that of the Uniled States, and recent events have shown that the Brazilian government have determined to place all the re- strictions possible upon our commétce, for the purpose of gratifying any prejudice the acts of our Minister, near that government, may have created in the discharge of his official duty. An American whale ship has been seized, and was at the last accounts in the possession of the authorities in Rio Janeiro, for being engaged, as was represented, in taking in wood, water, and provisions, ata port having no custom house, where American vessels had been forbid touch- ing. It is said that the government of Brazil purposely prohibited American vessels from touching at those ports, in consequence of the slight rupture with the United States, and re- moved tacilities which our vessels have for so many years enjoyed, upon the most shallow pre- text. We are, however, not so sure of this. We are waiting anxiously to see how far this thing will be carried, or what will be the result of what has already been done. It would be well for our government to wait patiently and watch closely the policy of the Brazils, and if possible cement stronger than ever the bonds which here- tofore bound us together. Our new envoy, who will leave in a few days for Rio Janeiro, may be more agreeable to the government of that em- pire, and he may be able to renew the amicable relations which have existed, and place both countries in a position of much importanee to each other. Our commerce with Brazil is ra- pidly increasing, we are the largest consumers of her principal products, and we place leas re- strictions upon the admission of her staples into our ports, than any other nation under heavens. On the other hand, we have for years been ecom- pelled to submit to grenter restrictions upon our export trade with Brazil than any other country, and have gone on, year after year, with the hope that some of them would be removed ; but thus far we have looked in vain. Under all the dis- advantages, we have steadily pushed our trade with that country; and it now appears that our vessels are confiscated while in the pursuit of a custom which our commercial marine has for a quarter of century enjoyed, without the slightest obstruction. We know not how far the government of Bra- zil intends pushing this business, but it would be well to calmly consider its course before the re- sponsibility is assumed. There is no nation in existence we have more anxiety to be at peace with than Brazil, but there never was a more dangerous time to wrong us. It has, heretofore, been done with impunity, it can never be done so again. The war fever runs high in this coun- try, and it would be well not to give cause for any increase. Since the arrival of the Hibernia, and the re- ceipt of intelligence relative to the capture of the bark Carmelite, there has been considerable ex- eitement in commercial circles, and the legality of the capture, under the law of nations, has been much questioned. The opinion of indi- viduals upon the subject isa matter of secon- dary importance ; we look to the government, and the construction it puts upon the affair. It appears to us as clear a case of piracy as ever came under our notice, and there is no other name togive it. The government have no doubt taken such measures as will ensure a speedy set- tlement ofthe matter. The government of Spain cannot recognise [this transaction in any other light, and it must appear so plain as to bring about an immediate release of the vessel seized. ‘To prevent any more captures, our naval force is to be inereased on foreign stations; the steam frigate Princeton will sail ina few days for the Mediterrane: to cruise for privateers and pirates. There isa decision about the present govern- ment, whieh is gratifying to see. Since the time of General Jackson, there has been an apathy on the part of the government relative to our foreign relations, and the rights of our citi- zens in foreign countries, which has done a vast deal of injury abroad, and we are pleased to see a change. We make ourselves feared and respect- ed abroad by such a course, and we trust it will not be abandoned.f We know our rights, and can NEW YORK HERALD. | Aw To Inztanp.—In this day's paper our rea- ders will find a circular addressed to the benevo- lent people of the United States, by the Indus- trial Society of Galway, Ireland, soliciting as- sistance to aid it in carrying out its benevolent purposes. The objects of this excellent and hu- mane society are plainly put forth in the circular. Its aim is not only to afford relief to the hungry, and stay as far as they can the ravages of famine, but also te provide work for the industrious, by which they can support themselves and their fa- milies. 5 What an anomaly in the history of nations dees Ireland present at the present time! Possessing the finest harbors in the world, she is without commerce. Mines of untold wealth slumber in her bosom, while her children can’t find a day’s work; a soil unequalled for fertility, and the | people famishing ; und, finally, her coasts “alive | with fish,” as we are informed by this circular, | while the people are too poor to purchase nets to take them. We would at once suppose that such | parts of the country as border on those coasts ; which are ‘“‘alive with fish,” could not possibly be afflicted to any very great degree with famine; yet we are informed that, because the people are #0 poor as not to be able to purchase nets, these fish gambol around them, in mockery of their condition. There is no lack of industry among the people of Galway, as the same circular proves. They received adonation of one hundred pounds sterling, and with that sum, small as it is, they fitted out a large num- ber of fishing smacks, which cleared two hun- dred per cent. per week on the capital. Inthe name of all that is pure and holy, we ask you to read the oircular, which we give in another column, and then let something be done for this people. The people of the United States have already covered themselves with glory, but much remains yet to be done, and it is their duty to do it. The time may come when we may need assist- ance ourselves, and if it should, there is no place on earth from which it would reach us sooner or more willingly than from Ireland. While on this subject it may be well to men- tion that vessels laden with provisions have been sent to Limerick, Sligo, Westport, Dublin, Cork, and other places, but nota grain of corn has been sentto Galway, which, besides its own inhabi- tants has to take careof the whole of Conemara —one of the most destitute places in Ireland. We are informed that Dudley Persse, Esq., 65 and 67 Nassau street ; Joseph Fowler, Esq., 27 Wall street; Robert E. Kelley, Esq., No. 111 Front street; and A. Barclay, Esq., the British Consul, No. 68 Barclay street, gentlemen well known in this country, are a committee appoint- ed by the Industrial Society to receive subscrip- tions in the United States. We hope these gen- tlemen will receive as much business in this way as they can attend to. Hearn oF Rio pg Janzino.—We are indebted to a gentleman of this city for the following state. Numpen or Deatus 1x tHE City or Rio pg Janemo Duaino tHe Year 1846, + +2,096 Under 70 years., a “1019 «goo | thousand, and the deaths reach five thousand per annum, It is probable that no fact can speak stronger in favor of the health of a city, apart from the number, than the age of those who die. It will be seen that there were quite a number of the deceased of last year, whose ages ranged from eighty to one hundred and twenty-eight ! According to this statement Rio de Janeiro is a healthier city than New York. Our city, after Rio, is the healthiest in the world. Mirtary Contrinvutions.—It will be per- ceived that the President has somewhat modi- fied the tariff recently adopted for the Mexican ports. We publish the changes in this day’s paper. ARRIVAL PROM THE WuiTE Hovsx.—Several members of the President’s family arrived in town lastevening, and are at the Astor House. Tho Fine Arts. We have had the gratification to examine some splen- did copies by Mr. Doughty, from a few of the old mas- ters in the Louvre, such as Claude, Ruysdall, Berghem, Adrien Vanderwerf, Guido, Karel du Jardin, ko. &o.; and those gentlemen who are desireus to possess copies of the very highest order of those celebrated masters, will do well to lose no time, as Mr. Doughty brought with him only a very small number. We are authorized to say that these pictures will be ready for inspection by Friday or Saturday next, at his /aleu, in the New York Dispensary. on the corner of Centre and White streets, and adjoining Mr. Muntington. The reputation of Mr. Doughty as an artist stands deservedly high. ‘Theatrical. Bowsny Turatar.—Another benefit will be had at the Bowery Theatre this evening, and one that we are sure will bea handsome compliment to the recipient, Mr. Alexander Tyte, conductor of the musieal department, whose indefatigable industry and artistical sccomplish- ments have contributed in a great degree to make this theatre as popular as it is. On this occasion Miss C. ier pd will take the part of Jane Shore, which by the wi is one that she performs in an admirable manner, rping and fault oe of those inimical to her, to the contrary notwithstanding. Mrs. Timm, Mr. John Dunn, ( rascal Jack) and Mr. Chanfrau, as well as Mies Wemyss have all volunteered their services im the handsomest mani and will a in “Jane Shore,” “That Rascal Jack,” “The Widow's Victim,” and tl “Dumb Girl of Genoa.” which four pieces comprise the entertainment for the evoning. Mixerva Rooms,—There is an interesting exhibition now open st the Minerva Rooms, 406 Broadway. It consists of ries of Dioramic Views, or as the proprie- terms them, “Graphaphanigomia,” together with tho Oxy-Hydrogen Microscope, magnifying millions of times: Other entertainments are to be introduced, which, aided by music, both vocal and instrumental, makes up a Dill of attractions really worthy a visit, Vannvecni’s Cosmonama.—Signor Vannucchi, who has already acquired a reputation for his great and beautiful cosmorama, has opened an exhibition at 315 Broadway, opposite Gothie Hall. In addition to his views, which number more than 150, he has a collection of new and original designs, painted expressly for this cosmorama by Big. A. Cayo, of this city. Among these are the Bombardment and Surrender of Vera Crus, the tle of Buena Viste, and several other battle pieces, in which correct liknesses of Gen. Taylor and several other of our heroes are given. The cosmorama also in- cludes a ificent view of Niagara Falls, an eruption of Mount Vesuvius, views of some of the principal cities, and interior of St. Peter’s,Rome. The name of the artist, and the interesting subjects he has chosen, Will, we have no doubt, draw to the exhibition crowds of siters.

Leoric Tenecrara.—One of our | Srinir or tH artists has given us his idea of the lightning line, and appointed a new messenger to bring intelli- | gence to the New York Herald office. We give it | to-day under the telegraphic head. The idea is | that the lightning line has superseded every | other means of conveying news from point to} point; and our artist has, therefore, strewn the road under the wires with broken locomotives, the bones of horses, &c., &c., &e. Steam and * horse cannot go ahead of lightning. Arrivat From Mexico.—The U. §. revenue | schooner Ewing, Gay Moore Esq, Commander, arrived yesterday from the Gulf of Mexico.

The house had beon observed closed for three days, which alarmed the neighbors,who were aware that the woman and her child were init. The woman was of intemperate habits, and they feared the child might be suffering. On approaching the house the and windows were found fastened. One of the men deter- mined to be satisfied forced openthe door, when he beheld the awful picture we have described. How long they bad been dead is im ible to say. Mra. Sutton had her husband arrested and pat in jail on the 2ist of last May for drunkenness and abusing her, and we are informed that he was only let out togo and see the corpse of his wite. The child was boy about 6 years old, A dloody razor was found in the bed.—Brooklyn Star, June rf Brracn in Tuk ScuvuviKitt Canar.—We learn that a serious break occurred in the embank- roent of the Schuylkill Na tion Company on Satur- ay, four miles this side of Douglassville. The breach ‘d at Roading to be sixty yards long and twenty Musical. Pang Tueatar.—The first performance of the opera of Maestro Giovanni Paccini’s “Saffo,” was quite an event among the dilettanti of New York. Tho Signorina ‘Tedesco was to re-appear before the public. Thememory of her bewitching voice had remained in all hearts, and ‘as soon as she appeared on the stage, she was received with applause and shouts. such as have not been heard before, since the time of the celebrated Malibran or Caradori Allan. We must say that she sang with a taste, a pathos, a charm. impossible for our pen to de- scribe. The contralto of the company, although not pretty, possesses. nevertheless, good features, and her voice is as rich, if not more #0, than Pico’s contralto. To sum _up all, she is a talented singer. Let us not forget our old acquaintance Perozzi, who has greatly improved since ho left New York. His voice is more oultivated; his acting better; and he plays with more feeling than we thought he would ever dis- play. Signor Bataglint sang the part of Aloandro very well, and deserves. as well as do the other singers, our raise and approbation. The chorusses sre always equal b their task; good, very good. Now, let us return to Saffo, or rather to its music; we must sa; place, that we not exactly like this opera; t! good the Italian poetry of Cammarano ia the poems upon which composers write their parti- tions; but Maestro Paccini never possorsed, even in his country, that musical jus which ani- mated Bellini, Bottini, Donizetti, &c.. in their best time. The overture of Saffo colored, pale. The first scene is must wait till the aria of Aleandro (Bataglini) to discover any thing conspicuous. This melody, in thing but the time, is like the celebrated duo of “Lucia,” which terminates the first act of that opera. The aria of Suffo (Tedesco) no animation, and if {it was not sung by Te 0, it would be a failure. The finale of this first act is better ; it consists of a duo with chorus accoimpa- niment, which is quite original. The first four verses of the stroph are slow, and then comes a rinforzando. which gives n pecular gest to the music. The second act opens with a chorus, which is nearly note by note the Tyrolesn chorus of William Tell.” Signora Marini displayed her real talent in a grand aria, in which the rich notes of her voico were fully brought out.— We remarked, however, that she did not execute the eadenzasand roulades written by the composer. The Cabatetta of this grand aria, is very like the drinking chorus of Gustave the Third of Auber. The most appre- ciated part in the whole o was a duo sang @ lunis- aon, between Marini and Tedesco. which is a gem ect in silver. There is a sortenuto whieh makes a beautiful effect. The orchestra accompanies piano and the violins in pizsicatto, which style is hig well adapted to the voloes ofthe ‘twosingers, This duo ia written in the style of the beautiful duo of Semiramide.”” sige cary and a very elegant one. The sudience had it § ‘and at each time, shouts of applause were universal. ‘The scene in the temple of Aj is good enough, but the most remarkabl is. where Saffo overthrows the statue of the god from tl tar; this is an admirable x of actin, Tedesco. The finale which fol- Tows ts very well ican and contains some effects of eontre point and instrumental harmony which Maestro Paccini does not employ often. The third act contains a prayer, which is rung by Tedesco and Ba- taglini, and produces a great effect. Faon (Perossi) had, after this, a seene alone, in which he showed himself the best; his voice was elegant, and he said the words ‘cutto perd “I have lost ever: Lees with an admirable in- tovation. The last part of this act, which takes place in sight of the rock of Leucade, is certainly the most effective. The opening chorus is far better than the others. But when Saffo entered, took a lute from the hands of a priest, and sang her improvisée poetry, the poet, the composer, and the singer, were °4 ly worth: ofthe other. Tedesco had an air of inspiration whic! was admirably effective. Her raven locks on her shoui- ders—her long eye-brows half covering their sparkling orbs; how beautiful she was!

Vavawart Ganpen—Campbell’s celebrated Ethiopean Opera Serenaders perform every evening at this popular theatre of amusement. They represent the peculiarities ofthe northern and southern negroes, and their cho- russesare much admired. They will also give a concert on Saturday afternoon, at three o'clock, to enable chi dren, accompanied by their parenta, to hear them, and enjoy # walk in the splendid garden attached to the saloon. Cuautr’s Mixstrets—The Albany Jrgus of the 12th, speaking of this much-admized band, says, “The: have crowded and delighted atidientes every night. They ate now performing at Troy.’ De Meren anp mus New Fant. .—A solo on the lo- comotive, with a grand accompaniment by De Meyer, the Lion Pianist, was performed the other day at Tren- ton, to an admiring audience, convulsed with laughter. It seems that De Meyer had started for New York by the Pilot Line, and stopped, like hundreds of hungry but imprudent passengers, at Trenton, to swallow a dozen raw and aglass of—--water. Tho bell of course rong. a it always rings, before the last bivalve had done kicking its astonishment at the road down which it was travel ing, andoff went the locomotive with a mort and a scream, breathing fire and smoke through its nostrils. At this moment it occured to our friend the Piano King that the bell might mean something interesting to him, personally; and, starting out in haste, he beheld the train gliding along like an anaconda—its huge tail every now and then fir 8 sardonic twist, as much as to say, “ Beat that with your double octaves and yourkrard, Mr. Leopold de Meyer.” Musicians—although their or- gans of locality are very atrong—generally know nothing of relative distances; and the great pianist, accustomed as he is to leap. immense intervals, imagined that it would require but an effort to come up with his slippery friend the locomotive. He accordingly gave chase wit! double Do Meyer specd—commeneing an allegro vivace movement, with a tenpo accclerando, until he, found himself in full galope, a la Marche Marocaine. The peo- pleshouted, De Meyer puffed and panted—the locomotive put its finger to its nose and yelled with delight—and so continued the chase at our latest advices, with bets run- ning high that the Lion King would fag the locomotive, and come out ahead. We shall watch the result with the keenest interest— Philadelp!

Tae Weatnen.—Sxevere Rain anv Har Bronm.— At half-past eleven o'clock yesterday morning, our city was visited with one of tho most violent hail and rain storms we ever saw. For about half an hour the rain fell in sheets, and {t appeared as if we were about to bo de- luged. The hail was not of a large size, but what it lacked in that respect it made up in quantity. The streets were beautifully washed, and presented s clean and healthy appearance. It cleared off tewards evening. and the sun shone out brilliantly under s bright blue sky. The atmosphere was agreeably cool. Mary Fox Not Yet Discovenen.—We noticed in last Suturday’s Herald, the receipt of a telegraphic de- spatch from Baltimore, directed to the Chief of Police, setting forth that Mary Fox, the young girl who was supposed to havo been abducted from the home of her arents, bya man called Michael or Martin Hare, some few weeks ago, was arrested in that city, and detained, to await the arrival of her father; who, upon the re- oeipt of this information, immediately left this city, in order, if ible, to recover his unfortunate and deluded child. jut alas, upon Mr. Fox arriving in Balti- more, he then ascertained that the young girl alluded to was not his daughter, but one who somewhat resembled her general appearance. Yesterday morning. however, another telegraphic communication arrived from Pittaburgh, directed to the Chief of Police, ips | that Mary Fox and Martin Hare were in that rT requesting some of her friends to come on immediately. This despatch was at once answered, ands corrospon- dence is now being carried on between the two cities, jn order to ascertain more particulars, But how the m ter will terminate, time will only tell. Police Inte! OC. June 14.—Keeping Ditorderly Heusee.—OfMcer A, M C.

"Mr. Shopard, clerk ¢f the Chesa- peake, ran up the beach, and reached the pier just as the steamer Harrivon entered the port. Capt. Parker romptly went to the rescue of the sufferers with the arrison, took off the survivors on the wreck, and picked up all that could be found afloat in the lake on hatches. planks, cabin doors, &e. A small boat from the shore rescued some who were nearly exhausted from long buf. feting of the waves, upborne on these forlorn hopes of drowning men. After the Chesapeake was btought to anchor, she con- tioued to sink gradually, notwithstanding every possi ble effort by pumping and baling to keep her afloat, and at half past three o'clock the bull went down bow fore. most in forty feet water. The upper cabin parted from the bull,and the upper deck remained out of water.— On this, such of the persons ax had not previously left the boat were gathered and saved. None were lost who followed the advice of Capt, W., and continued with the wreck. But as the boat sank deep in the water. and it became certain that she must go down, a number pre- pal floats and took their chance for escape on them. Of these, eight are known to bave been drowned. and it is feared that others met with u like melancholy fate. ‘The passengers numbered between forty and fifty, an unuatal proportion ladies, and several children. | No ladies or children were lost, The presence of mind. energy and fortitude of the ladies through the trying scene {i described asremarkable, Feriloas as was thelr situation they heeded the advice of the officers, at their request urged their protectors to go nelow and assist in keeping the vessel afloat, and made no outery until it was apparent that the Harrison in pa sing bad not discover- ed the wteck—when one of them asked permissi nof the Captain to also hail their beet hope of rescue, with the remark, that woman's shrill voice ould be heard farther than man’s.

As the books of the boat were lost, it is impossible to obtain a full list of passengers at present. The following are known to have been los ngers—George Van Doren, of Lower Sandusky, . Houck, of Watertown. N. Y.; EB. Cone, of Bell: 0.; 8. York, of Tiffin. O. Crew—R. Sutherland, ngineer; O. Wait, second porter; R. MeMann, deck It is greatly feared that Mr. D. A. Folsom, of Roches- ter, N. Y., formerly of this city, is also among the lost. When the small boat was leaving the wreck, he urged his wife to enter it with their child. She was unwilling to do so. without he accompanied her. With tr od noble disinterestedness he refused to embrace the oppor- tunity to save himself 20 long as ladies and children were left on board the sinking craft. but knowing the mother’s yearning heart toward her tender offspring, he | placed the child in the boat. The mother clung to it, and he bade her farewell from the gangway. Soon after Mr. Folsom in company with « young man, a hand on board, entrusted himself to the waves on a hatchway and plank fastened together. fis companion was rescued af ter day light, so nearly exhausted that life was restored with difficulty. He stated that after floating some time Mr. F said he thought they could sooner reach the shore if their floats were separated, aud when last seen Mr. F. and his hatchway were in advance of the plank and its lone voyager. It is hoped that he eith.r reached land, or ‘was picked up by a parsing vessel Mr. Van Doren was a merchant st Lower Sandusky, and leaves a family to mourn thelr unexpected beroave- ment. He committed himself to a raft with four othors, who stood the buffetings of the waves for some time, but at last sank to sleep in their cold embrace. We knew George well, for we were boys together. A good heart wus eutombed with our early friend. The officers of the Chesapeake did everything men could do to inspire confidence and exertion. and to save life in the terrible exigency, Mr. Andrew Lytle, stew- art of the boat. was particularly active in ring floats for the use of any wh them, and barely es- caped. When the boat sunk he struck out on a state room door, but soon after saw the safer place was on that portion of the wreck still above water. The wind and waves drifted him so rapidly thet he could not re- tura, and lying flat on his buoy he continued to strug- gleand float, the waves frequently dashing over hi, until picked up after daylight nuarly exhausted. Passengers lost all their baggage, not a single trunk being saved.

It is a sin- gular circumstance that three vessels should be run down the same night in the same vicinity, the Rough and Ready, the Chesapeake. and the Porter.

Iinois and Indiana have within the past year or two impioved more than fifty per cent in creait, and the edium of delinqueney is rapidly disappearing. The bonds of these two States are the best investments in the country, and in # very few years (much sooner than many suticipate,) the full interest will be paid promptly and regularly. The recent demand for breadstuffs, and the high pricee ruling for every species of agricultural products,have given an impetus to the progress and pros- perity of Illinois and Indiana, more important than ever before experienced within the history of these States.— Every thing now eonneeted with their finances is ins healthy state, aud their population is rapidly increasing, and the lands owned by each State are commanding high prices in the market. Wo congratulate the bond- holders upon the change {n their prospects, and we con- gratulate the people and the government of these States, both individually and oollectively, upon the improved prospects of their public affairs. Repudiation and delinquency are rapidly going out of sight, and they will soon be among the things that were, never to be beard of again. Delinquency has been one of the greatest blessings we have ever enjoyed in the financial world; and coming at the momentit did, we were saved from being piunged deeper into the depths of bankruptcy, and placed beyond all hopes of redemp- tien. Had the Western States avoided delinquency much longer; had they increased their debt much be- yond where it was arrested; had they made greater sac- rifices to meet the annual interest on their debts, Fepu- iation would have been the result, instead ef delim quency, and the bondholders of Illinois and Indiana would have been in a position similar to those of Missis- sippi and Michigan. Delinquency is rank enough, in all conscienee, but it has purified the financial condition of these States, which were running riot in every kind of extravagance connected with public works. Repudia- tion smells to heaven, and its corrupting influence is so powerful, that a very desperate effort will be required to remove its stain from every State which has adopted it. We have, however, hopes that the time is not far distant when even thie will be obliterated, when all recollection of oither repudiation or delinquency will be lost. There is a vast difference between delinquency and repudiation, ‘The first is merely a suspension of pay- ment, while the other is a refusal of payment, ora refa- al to acknowledge the claim. Illinois and Indiana have always acknowledged their indebtedness, but they have heen compelled to admit their inability to meet the pay- ment of interest. The interest on every dollar of the : principal, and on the scrip tor arrears of interest, after it is funded, will be promptly paid; and the credit of those States will ultimately stand as high as that of any other State in the confederacy. The riches of these States are beyond all calculation. As yet we have but touched the surface of the soil—when we dive into ite depths, we shall, without doubt, discover sources of wealth equal to those of any other State in the Union. Tho European holders of IMlinois bonds will have such representations made to thom relative.to-the policy pur- sued by their agents in this country, known as the “Fo. relgn Trustees,” a# will, we trust, bring about an imme- Alate change in the board, These trustees have recent- ly published # letter, in answer to one addressed to them by a committee appointed at meeting of the resident bondholders, and we must admit that it is the weakest at- tempt of the kind to refate the charges made we have seon for along time. The principal point touched upon is that relative to the completion of the canal. When the work was recommenced under tho arrangement made by Col. Oakley, it was estimated that the canal could be completed in three years, aud to this estimate the foreign or non resident trustees refor, with the as- sertion, that so long as the work is completed within that period, they have fulfilled the letter of their bond. It ts very well known that the canal could have been completed by the 4th of July 1647. and been in navigable order, and in active operation frem that time to the close of navie gation, by which the grain growers of Iinois and the grain consumers ull cver the world, would have been vastly benefited Aa it is the canal will not be comple. ted until November, and not open for the transportation of merchandise until the spring of 1848, nearly one year Inter than would have been, had .all of the trustees been | on the line of the work when their presence was required, yet its oj | those who ever try.
