V\e At The Missouri is now in her twelfth day. She is said to be aa excellent steamer, and may be expected on Saturday The Relations of Kngland and Spain.The Island of Cuba. The recent debate in the British Parlia- ment on the Spanish bond question, in which our amiable but excitable friend, Lord Pal- merston, went out of the way to ‘‘ warn” the mon-payimg States of the world, may be of | great importance to the Tnited States, as will be seen hereafter. It originated in a motion of Lord George Bentinck, that a petition be present- ed to her Majesty, praying that she would take such steps as might be deemed advisable, to se- cure payment to British subjects of moneys loaned the Spanish government, amounting to the no small surg of forty-six millions of pounds sterling, or about $250,000,000. y pot course a debate, Lord Bentinck, who is a sort of Santa Anna in England, in more ways than one, called upon the govern- ment, to insist on making Spain pay what she owed, and laid it down as according to the law of nations, that one government is entitled to demand of another redress for wrongs done against the subjects of the complain- ing State, and if it be denied, that it may be en- forced in way of reprisal, or in any other way of which the complaining power may be capable.— So much {for the principle laid down in the de- bate. Now let us take a glance across the Atlantic. The largest and most valuable island of the West Indies is Cuba—the length of which is se- ven hundred and sixty miles, and the breadth ninety. The soil is extremely fertile; it abounds with mines and produces excellent sugar, coffee, honey, wax, tobacco, &e. And what is of more importance, it is actually the key to the Gulf of Mexico. This fair island is owned by Spain, who derives a great revenue from it, and Spain 18 indebted to England to the amount of $250,- 000,000. On the same side of the Atlantic, there is an immense republic known as the United States; a nation which, in the short space of seventy years, has grown to be one of the most powerful countries in the world. Its present grandeur is brilliant beyond all example, and it is daily ex- tending its territory. It is at present at war with a neighboring republic, the result of which will be that it will get another accession of ter- ritory from its hostile neighbor. This en pas- sant. It happens that the contest for the commerce and wealth of the world is between this great republic of the West and ita great rival, England; and it happens, moreover, that certain indica- tions point towards Cuba one day, not very dis- tant, becoming, not, perhaps, a part and parcel of the Western republic, but under her guardian- ship, by which it would become much more powerful than it is, and by which it would obtain exclusive control over the American seas. Now, England cannot but see this; and seeing it, she would like to prevent it; and as she never was at a loss for finding ex- pedients, she is not in this case, and has in our to the Senate Congress. The following in| the outline of the proposed plan :— tics ; 7th, External Pathology; 8th, Internal ditto; 9th, M Medica, ial ruties; 10th, fdwifery, and the Diseases ‘Women and } yer tntiate: iene, History of Medictae aud Ai ser 13th, Legal Medicime; 14th, Clinical Medi- 8; 5 Ou ‘Surgery; 16th, Obstetric Clinique, Dineanee af al ‘Wouen and New-born Infants. We should think these were professorships enough to gratify the most ardent seekers after medivul knowledge. The course of study is to be six years, and there are many other provisos which we have no room to mention here. | The papers are very bare of interest, being | filled up with long reports of the doings of the | Senate on local affairs. | Newsrarers From Stncarore.—We have re- ceived the Singapore Free Press to the 15th of Aptil, inclusive. Our previous advices were to the 4th of May ; but we find the following items in the Press :— “ By private advices from China we learn that Spanish eetals from Manila had been at Amoy for the purpose of pases Chinese laborers to proceed to Cuba to be Sapa ‘as Coolies on estates. Their contracts are, we believe, for terms of seven to ten years, at dra 3 per men- sem, and rice and fish found then. The Spanish agents are said to have found no eicaly in uring as man: men as they required. We are doubt fal whether this mode of paying the Coolfes will be found as advant ous to their employers as giving them a small direct in- terest in the produce of their labor, but perhaps there may be difficulties attending the adoption of such s plan, especially at first. If it is considered desirable to send Coolies from Amoy to Cuba, where there is such a com- mand of slave labor, we should think they would be found very desirable auxiliaries to the planter in the British West Indies, and much superior to the Indian borg who are being at present sent there from india.” The following is translated from the Java Courant ot March 16th:— In consequence of very heavy rains during the month of February, in the residency of Samarang. the rivers were very much swollen, and overflowed their banks in many . by whieh he arrival of rice at the capital from the interior was much impeded. The scarcity of this tirst n of life at Samarang is very great; the gautang of rice of 5 catties was not to be had in the market on the 23d for less than 80 or 90 doits. It is to be hoped that the deficiency will be supplivd by private imports from elsewhere, Government not intending to send rice or paddy to Samarang, so long as any chance "News from Timor of the 200) Aug: angounges the fal jews from r of the ug. announ - ure of the rice crop there, the produce being only 200 pleuls, instead of 3000, as i The Press takes the annexed extract from the China Mail pf the 4th of March :— Hoo-a-kee, commanly called Whampoa, the well- known Siagapore merchant, arrived by the Lady Mary Wood, and after staying here a few days, prooveded to Canton on a visit. a remarkable man, combining the features and costume of a Chinese with — English teelings, and a command of the English lan- guage to express them. His deportment and conversa- tion are those of a shrewd but good-natured man of the world, with a portly figure, but remarkably uaostenta- tious style of address. Although still a young man of only 32 years of age, he has already acquired a large for- tune bya course of upright dealing, which has seoured for him the esteem of those amongst whom he lives. INTELLIGENCE From Turks Isuanp.—Our ad- vices from Grand Cay are to the 27th ult. inclu- sive. We have received the Gazette to that date. The Gazeete of the 20th says:— Our market is quite destitute of all kinds of supplies. There is not a barrel of flour nor a bushel of cern te be purchased. Three of our Island craft have proceeded to Porto Plata, for fruit, the only succedaneum to the more substantial articles of food. We are tantalized to see merchantmen jing by our roadetead laden with every commodity for markets south of us, But we are consoled with the idea that positive famine can hard! overtake us, whilst some one of these ing vessel might be induced to relieve us, at least from the worst extreme. it might naturally be asked by any one un- acquainted with facts, “ ‘Wh do not these vessels opinion already found one very applicable to the case, which is the assertion of the principle laid down by Lord Bentinck, and coincided in by our amiable peace loving friend Lord Palmerston, in the recent debate on the Spanish bonds. Spain cannot pay the forty six millions of pounds she owes British subjects. Lord Balmerston gives “warning” that he will force her to pay it, by reprisal, if necessary; or, in other words, by seizure of territory, What part of her territory would he seize? Certainly the most valu- able part, and that is the island of Cu- ba---a distant colony from the mother country. By seizing it England would accomplish two purposes, viz: payment of the money due her subjects, and perhaps obtain a check on her ri- val, the great American republie—and the com- mand overapart of the American seas. If she is determined to apply the principle in one case, she probably is in another, and the next country to which she will apply it is Mexico—then the South American States—in each gaining territo- ry and aggrandizement ¥ The matter then resolves itself into this—that England is desirous of securing territory on the American continent for the purpose of check- ing the growth of the United States; that she has her eye on Cuba at the present hour, and that we may soon expect to hear of herattempting a /a, “the man with the white hat,” to put the prin- ciple she asserted in force, and getting posses- sion of the Island of Cubaif possible. Now, we have a principle, which we as- serted as far back as the presidency of Mr. Mon- roe---which is peculiarly applicable to the case in hand, and that is, that no European in- tervention with the American continent will be tolerated by the United States. If we maintain that, and England maintain hers, the two coun- tries must, of necessity, come in conflict. Well, what then? Tur Mxprcat Corteaes.—The time is now drawing near for the opening of the fall cam- paign by the two medical schools in this city, viz:—the University, and the College of Physi- ciane and Surgeons, in Crosby street. Inthe first institution theirexistsa vacancy inthe chair of the professor of medicine, in consequence of the death of the late incumbent, Professor John Revere, who died last spring. This is very important professorship, and it has been thrown open to the profession at large, and we believe that Monday was the last on which propo- sals of candidates for the vacancy were received. Rumor states that upwards of two hundred ap- plications, from all parts of the world, have been made. Time, however, will show who it is the trustees and governing faculty of the institution have settled on. Doubtless he willbe some emi- nent man, whose talents entitle him to the posi- tion. At the College of Physicians and Surgeons, a new professorship has been created by the trus- tees: it is that of physiology and pathology, branches which have hitherto been divided among the other chairs. Now, however, they will be specially lectured upon by Dr. Alonzo Clark, who, in accordance with a rule of the College, which applies to every new professor, must lecture, either one or two seasons, in order to prove his competency, before he is perma- nently elected to the professorship. Ftom the well known capabilities of Dr. Clark, there is no doubt but he will succeed in his ordeal. The building occupied by this college has also been enlarged and improved. The term for lecturing is lengthened at both Colleges, avd they will both give five months bona fide lectures. Thus, everything betokens a winter of more than usual activity at our medi- cal schools. Irems rrom Brazit.—We are in receipt of files of the Rio Janeiro papers to the 22d June. This is not so late a date as we previously re- ceived by the Guilford; we, however, subjoin some items. A horrid murder was comm tted at Rio on the 21st June, on the person of a singer, Madame Mege, by her husband, who shot her, and caused her instantaneous death. He is a Frenchman, and committed the act through jealousy. A long investigation was made of the facts, and he. committed for trial. It appears that medical reform is not confined to this country alone, asa plan for the reforma- tion of the medical schools had been presented touch at your port without solicitation, if your wants are so great?’ The answer is simply this—our market is a limited one, too lit 1d for & vessel of moderate size to break bulk for, when er with all other charges, adouble tonnage is incurred by the landing of a single article for consumptiom ‘“ But why do you submit,” it is rejoined, “ to such a grievous suicidal revenue im- tt?” Because we have, comparatively speaking, no tive control, neither in providing nor in appro- ig Our revenue; nor shall we ever have, so long as this extreme eastern portion of the colony is subject to the legislative authority of the Nassau government. That is done for us by others of different interests from ours, and who are too remotely situated— granting them the disposition—properly to legislate for us; by others who luxuriate not far from the gulf of Mexico, whilst we are hero soarcely vegetating and nearly opposite the eastern half of the Caribbean sea, feeding on the fruits and succulent products of St. Domingo, which are ne- vertheless imported ucder the usual restrictions of our commerce. In the foregoing statement and explanation are found the prominent causes of our m aud discontent; when shall we have to announce a change in our pol'tical condition’ The Gazette of the 27th has the following :— It is @ mistake that the export duty on Turks Island salt has been taken off, and equally so if it 1s eupposed that these islands are “steadily advancing in prosperi- ty, im consequence of any legislative measures.” The duty on eals bes certainly been reduced from 1 cent per el to 5 per centum ad valorem. The true state of the case fs, that we have been ogee ef the change in the American tariff, which has redu tie import duty in the United States from 103g or 11 cents per bushel, the ad valorem average at the moment of the alteration, to about 2 cents, the present rate. We speak the united sentiment of the Turks Islanders,when we say that the advantages of the new Bubama amend- ed revenue act has becn more than counterbalanced by its disadvantages; or, to spenk more to the point, that the benefit of the reduction of the export duty on salt has not been equal to the injury our commerce has sus tuined, by the imposition of an extra tonnage, payable by vessels bringing any article for consumption; the last @ most ex provision, when it is consider- ed that our very existence depends on the importation of every article we eat,drink and wear,with an exception #0 trifling as to be unworthy of mention. On Tuesday evening last the brig New Englander ar- rived from New York with a few articles of provisions — The flour brought by this vessel sold by auction at $1634 per barrel. The next day the Porsenna entered from Porto Plata with flour; since which the brig Arve, 13 days from New York, has come to our relief with ow visions, bringing intelligence of the sailing of the brig Cleopatra for these islands with supplies. Sait had been sold in New York, deliverable in August, at 35 centa.— The price of provisions was receding in the Wnited States to former rates. ‘We never had a better salt season. Many persons are unable to gather the salt fast enough for the season, which ts in adi of them for the want of labor. The price of our staple is likely to fall as the summer ad- vances—its present rate is 9 cents. Our market 1s nearly destitute of all kinds of supplies: flour of inferior quality is relling at $14: in a few days, if none arrive, no provisions of any description will be bad on th Cnys. Mats ror Evrorr.—The French steamship Philadelphia, Capt. Beeson, will leave this port on Sunday, for Cherbourg, France, The Hiber nia, Capt. Ryrie, will leave Boston on Monday, for Liverpool. The Fine Arts. Mr. Atwoon’s Portrait or Generar Tavton.—This beautiful painting is admired by all who visit Mr. At- ‘wood’s rooms—and it is not to be wondered at. A true Mkeness of the man who has, within the last year and a half,so permanently fixed himself in the affections of the American people, is likely to be sought after. Mr. Atwood, with great good taste, has depicted only the general upon his canvass ; at least, his is the only form that claims the eye. The gun by which Captain Bragg’s men sent their compliments to the enemy five times per minute during the engagement at Buena Vista, helps as & relief, as does also the smoke-enveloped battle scene at the left of the piece ; but standing out boldly to the view is the truthful likenoss of “Old Rough and Ready,’ though nothing in the painting would induce one to so mame the hero of Florida and Mexico. In fact a view of this picture induces 4 more exalted idea of the man and his character than isto be drawn from the rough anecdotes that are promulgated so generally. At the first glavce the pene. trating eye attracts attention, then the look of earnest active contenplation, as if he were calculating what would be the most advantageous manner Noche Mays his band- vy ful of brave fellows, #0 a8 most effecti to avail him- self of their services. Gen. cere is short, that is he has short legs;.but what of that? He never had occasion to call upon his legs to do duty to save his body. No, he always stands firm, and nature could not have given him & botter form to endure the shocks and commotions of the battle field, than he possesses. But Mr. Atwood has the life-like. fe there, upon his canvass, and all who desire it may call and see for themselves how the repub- ican General really looks, The artist who encountered the toil and dangers of «journey to Monterey, for the purpose of getting the true likeness of tho old hero. Ought to be well repaid for his outlay of money and la- bor. No one can regret a visit to Mr. A.’s rooms, Ife is not only an artist, but an exceedingly polite gentlem: and makes those who visit him perteotly at home. He loves the General and can give good reasons for his ad- miration of his character. Ho has seen bim, seen him in his camp, and knows his unaffected patriotiem. Hw has seen his care for his soldiers, and their devotion to him. au who know Goneral Taylor say this painting depicts e man. Yetrow Fever in New Onteans.—The re- port of the Board of Health is, we regret to say, much moro unfavorabte to the health of the city than we bad hoped. The board apprise the public that we are on the eve of an epidemic. We can only call upon the unacciimated who remain with us to heed the coun- tel of the board, and “ avoid such exposure and impru- ‘Theagricals. Panx Tueatae.—To-night Madame Bishop plays for the first time Amina, in “Ls Sonnambuls,” which breathes out as many sweet and plaintive strains as ever fell on the ear or found their way totheheart. The music is full of the most exquisite tenderness, simplicity and feeling, and a deep interest pervades the piece. We love Bellini’s music; the melodies are original, and ever characterised by delicacy and sweetness. mostly a spirit of sadness, a pensive tone, that on the memory and stamps ite im, onthe soul. They are strains that haunt us with their’ associations, as we ote ont eres creoee Se Ser eaeenen Batatos, over and extensive wastes, her majestic jj; and Madame Bishop Gn askesaice amet juisite melodies, with ive acl exquisite those tones of voice of hers, the intonations of which are so faultless, and which possess, in their bold and varied range, such a silver bell-like clearness—which, «lao, are ao touching in expression, and so fraught with grace, delicacy, and feeling. We look with delightful anticipstions to this opera, inits English dress, and hail the re oy of this mighty mistress of song in a role 80 suited to her powers. Bowery Tueatre.—For the benefit of all who have not yet seen the splendid spectacle, the “ Naiad Queen,” we would say that it is about to be withdrawn, to make room for other things, and that this will be the last eve- ning that it will be perfurmed in full, because Miss Julia Turnbull's engagement is about expiring. Therefore, all who have not yet seen that piece must do so to-night, if they wish to see one of the best things ever brought out at the Bowery. The comedy of “ Bamboosling,” and the nautical drama, “ Black-eyed Susan,” will form, with the “Naiad Queen,” the bill of perfor- mances for this evening. To-morrow will be the last eve- ning of Miss Turnbull’s engagement. CxatHam Turatne.—The success of the travestie of “ Hamlet’? has been so great, and it has been received with such unmistakable demonstrations of pleasure and delight by crowded audiences, that the manager thinks he is warranted in putting it in the bill for this evening, for the fourth time, we believe. Weare not surprise at this, forit is decidedly one of the best pieces ever put on the stage, and would attract large audiences for » month or nore, The laughable farce of the ‘ Omnibus,’ too, which has given Mr. Brougham such excellent op- portunities to display his talents as comic actor, will, with the petite comedy of“ Naval Engagements,” be re- peated this evening ith “ Hamlet.” For the benefit of our up town citizens, we would inform them that the Chatham theatre is as well conducted as any place of amusement in the city. Paumo’s Orera Hovsx.—Mile. Adelaide’s benefit at tracted, last evening, s very crowded house, sparkling with numerous charming ladies. We must confess that danced better durin; pen coasemnest at Pal- ce in fact, she developed, last night, all the cho- rographio sclenoe which she has been taught. by Mr. Masiliex, at the Royal Academy of Paris. We shall be glad to see her next week at Castle Garden, and we are sure that no other attraction will prevent her friends and admirers from going there and bestowing their applause. Mr. Christian Lehman, the inimita- ble merry Andrew, will be there also, together with his smart girls, Mathilde, Caroline, Julia and Flora, and M. Charles Winther will escort M. Schmidt whose fine dancing and assistance are indispensible to M’'lle. Adelaide. * Le Diable Rouge,” and “ M. Décha- meau,” were performed last evening, with the greatest merriment. Roquinet was capital indeed. Palmo’s thea- tre has closed, and the excellent artists will re-appear on Monday ni t Castle Garden. No doubt but suc- cess and fortune will visit them in their new abode. Castix Garven.—This evening Mr. Walcot’s benefit takes place, when the comic operas of “ John of Paris,’ and “No Song no Supper,” will be performed. The Misses Wells appear in a grand Pas de Trois. Mr. Wal cot is long and favorably known by the folks of the Olympic, as an excellent fier ep ear use- less to urge his claims as an artiste, as whenever he takes a benefit, the house is alwaysfull. We understand he is about taking a tour through the States ; if so, wish him the success his protessional character serves. Monday evening next, the Lehman family ap- pear at Castle Garden, where, the stage being enlarged, we learn, they eae Ret! “Giselle,” and other beautiful ballets. With Holland, Waloot, Miss Clarke, Mise Phillips, and the other members of the Vaudevill company, the Garden, next week will, doubtless become 8 fashionable resort, because of this great attraction. Vauxnatt.—The Sable Sisters and Ethiopian Min- strels give concerts every evening this week, at the above popular resort. Yankee Hill and Dr. Valentine. have been giving en- tertainments at the Masonic temple, Boston, where they have drawn exeellent houses. Signore Ciocca is at Cincinnati, dancing at the Athe- neum, where she is very popular.

The fire was put outwby the police. Annivat oF Emronant Passznorns The arrival of emi it passengers from fere! 8 at this port dur- ing ‘Tuoaday last, amounted to rt al Cuixese Junx.—If we were asked what is the most interesting Shing that has been offered to the inspection of our citizens, for a number of years past, we should say without hesitation, the Chinese Junk. She is truly an object of interest, for she conveys to us a better idea of the natives of China than all we could gather by reading a score of books on the subject. She will go to Philadel- phia or Boston very soon, so that no time is to be lost by our citizens in seeing her. Daownep.—Coroner Walters was called yesterday, to hold an inquest on the body of a German, named Luhrs Berend, aged about 25 years, who hus for a short time been employed as a sail maker on board the bark Ocean, lying at pier No. 4.N. R.,and was yesterday morning found floating im the slip near the vessel. Verdict— Death by drowning. The deceased is supposed to have fallen overboard while in a state of intoxication.

Cononen’s Ixquest.—An inquest was held yesterday, on the body of Patrick Scanlin, aged sixty years, who was found at the Wallabout,on the Williamaburgh road, on Tuesday morning. From the evidence, it appoured that tbe 4 had been afflicted with an ulcer upon his arm, and was on his way for the purpose of procuring some medicine, when the bandage became loosened, and the artery in the vicinity of the sore burst, causing » rapid loss of blood. A verdict was rendered in accor- dance with the above\facts. We understand that the deceased has left a family, residing on Flushing avenue, near Williamsburg road. Police Intelligence. Indicted for Manslaughter.—The grand jury of the Court of Sessions indicted, yesterday, H. 1.” Kellogg, captain of the steamboat Niagara, and’ Hosea Birdsell, the engineer of the said boat, both of whom are indicted for manslaughter im the third degree, in causing the death of two firemen of the abeve boat, and scalding several of the passengers, by carrying too ‘much team, which blew up the steam chest, thereby causing the lors of life and limb.

To men of business, whose presence is necessary in the city at certain hours, it is # serious inconvenience, if not lons. The steamboats I allude to, are those that run from the foot of Canal street to Fort — which are seldom if ever punctual ; being one hour, half awrhour,and so on, after the time. On the 29d of Jaly the bout advertised to leave the dock at 6, did not leave until 26 minutes pest 7, and did no h Fort Lee until near o'clock.

The plaintiff is one of the company of the French steamer Philadel; now in this port, and the defendant is the ( David P. Hall appeared as counsel for the Mr. Tillou appeared on bebulf of the Consul of France. Mr. Tillou handed in a written protest from the Consul General, by which he, the Consul General, rotested against the jurisdiction of the Court. First— Because the parties were foreigners and subjects of the King of the ich; and secondly—the offence, ifany,was committed on the seas, on boarda ich vessel, sailing under the French flag, and not within the juris- diction of the American Courts; thirdly—that by the French law, the plaintiff was one of the crew of the ves- sel, and his name entered in the inne aia the defendant being Captain of the v had power to &e, &e, is considered as punish the plaintiff in case he was guilty of disob oforders or of any other misconduct on board.

And lastly, that the plaintiff was a deserter from the vessel, and there was then in the hands of an officer of justice, a warrant issued by one of the Police magistrates for his apprehension; for all which reasons the Consul General protested against this suit being entertained? The shi pt articles were then pro- duced, together with a o cr from the Censul Ge- neral, certifying that by the laws of France, the persons whose names wore mentioned therein, formed the ship's company, and were under the command of the master, and subject to the discipline on board French vessels. Mr. Davin P. Hatt said that he would prove that plaintiff was not asubject of the king of the Frénch; that he was a citizen of one of the Swiss cantons; se- condly, that he had never signed the shipping articles; thirdly, that he was not one of the crew; tl t by the P ig articles he was designated a domestic servant, to wit, a waiter, and as such not amenable to the disci- line of the vessel; and bhi that the relationship tween himself and the cay was broken up after the arrival of the vessel at » Mr. Hi irther insisted that under the case in 14 Wendell, it was decid- ed by the Supreme Court that the Marine Court and all other courts of this State had jurisdiction, and could entertain suits between the captains and crews of for- eign vessels. He also objected to receiving the consul general's certificate as evidence. Judge SuitH said he would receive it as the certifi- cate of the consul general, but not as evidence of what was the law of France. ar that question hould have higher evidence, and if such evidence was offered, he would receive it,and perhaps feel himself bound by it.

Plea of Guilty—At the opening of the court, this morning, Casper Gerhart, indicted for grand larceny, in having, on the 25th day of November last, stolen a gun, of the value of $30, from George Kretzer, pleaded guilty of petit larceny, and the court sentenced him to the Penitentiary for the term ot three months. Another Plea of Guilty.—Daniel Jones was then ar- raigned on an indictment for an assault with intent to rob Porter Adams. He pleaded guilty of an assault and battery, and the court sentenced him to the Penitentiary for the term of three months. Trial for Grand Larceny.—Alexander Myers, (boy, ‘was then placed at the bar for trial, on an indictment for grand larceny, in having on the 30th day of July, stolen four silver table spoons, five silver tea spoons, two salt spoons, two dinner forks, six dessert forks, one butter Knife, and a willow basket, valued at $52 75, from Dr. Charles Dickinson, of No. 101 West 13th street.

Tares on Lard and Butter. To tHe Evitor or tHe Henan, ‘As your valuable paper is intended as @ medium through which to convey the’ public voice of the mer- cantile community, the writer desires to invoke its aid in correcting what is generally admitted to be a wrong no longer to be tolerated in a city whose citizens are dis- tinguished for fairness and plain dealing. allude to tares on lard and butter. The custom with the packers at the West te put up their lard, &c. with the design of having it tared, by # certain per centage, and when a change in the per centage was insisted on, then the weight of the package became heavier. The history of this matter is as follows:—When the cent was allowed, the packages were made much Ii than they are now, and when the rate of per centage was altered, the packages grew heavier, with a view, un- doubtedly, of being reimbursed for the value of the pack- age, for which no charge was made, by means of which fraud was intended, as palpable as it was gross. An ordinary sized lard keg weighs, when filled with lard, some sixty pound: the 20 per cent generally allowed for tares in the ‘principal cities south and west of New York, will be @ fraction over eleven pounds, while the true weight of an empty keg is from 15 to 1734 pounds. If the editor desires the proof, it will be furnished. Last season this matter was acted upon here, and a cus- tom of allowing “aetual”’ tares was partially adopted, but it is not adhered to, and will only be corrected when purchasers insist on actual tares in all cases, The prevailing practice here must operate to the great disadvantage of business, and will become, if it has not already, a terror to the distant merchant desirous to do business here, and if perpetuated by its citizens, knowing itto be fraudulent, their reputation must be seriously affeoted by it. In vain the commission merchant may say, “ it does not belong to me to correct the evil; my interest does not suffer by it; on the centrary,when | sell my owner's goods well. (even in this way,) he will entrust more to me, and if I clamor about this shave, | shalblose my com- miasion.”” Do merchants come here to do business in this way ’ For the honor of the American merchant, let it not be #0. There can be no doubt that a large majority of the business men in this city would unite to stamp with in- famy this destructive practice, The writer of this is miliar with late transactions in which the loss on th tares in lard in barrels was 18 to 20 pounds each, and on butter in firkins 6 to 9 pounds. 5 & This cannot much longer be tolerated, and the sooner some public action is upon this question, the better it will be for all interested.

The decision of the High Court was made in one of the cases of the Bank—the Commercial Bank, Natchez. 1 sent you, or General Barclay, agent, I forget which, as soonas they were printed, the decisions of the three judges, Clayton and Sharkey agreeing, Thatcher dis- senting. This decision does not appear to be fully uao- derstood, out ofthe State, at least: it was good, as far as it went, but does not cover the whole ground. I will attempt a brief explanation of its substance. The Bris- ove law of 1843, provided that upon judgment of forfei- ture, the assets of the bank should be surrendered to a trustee, who should go in and make collections, and af- ter paying the debts of the bank, distribute the residue among the stockholders. The Briscoe law of 1846 di- rects the assets upon judgment of forfeiture, to be deli- vered to three trustees, who are to sell for cash at pub- lic auction, all the real and personal estate of the banks, the bills, notes, and debts, and the debtor to have the privilege of redeeming from the purchaser at any time within two years, by tendering the purchase money and twelve per cent interest. ‘he Commercial Bank of Natchez was condemned under the law of 1443, and be- fore the passage of the act of '46, and the court decided that she should be liquidated under the former law, and that the trustee under that law should retain posses- sion of her assets, and collect them by suit or other- wise, and was not compelled to sell them at auction, as prescribed by the act of 1846. This, therefore, seems to settle the case of the Commercial Bank of Natchez—but should adverse opinions hereafter govern the high court I am not lawyer enough to decide whether the opinion of the court of last resort in the State, can be reversed The court did not decide the law of '46 to be void, and there is no telling how they would decide that point. The Union Bunk is condemned under it, and the trustees have advertised the sale of all her property. at auction, in accordance with its provisions. So you will perceive this decision has no bearing on the question of the Railroad Bank—for if he be condemned, it will be under the last law, and the assignment ts ,the only chance of preserving her assets from sacrifice. Inre- gard to the assignment, no decision can well be given until after the election—for I believe there is no regular session of the court before the Ist December next, aud Judge Sharkey would not probably decide it out of its regular order. If the decision should be unfavorable to the assignment, then the law of 1846 will take effect on the bank, and all her assets go at public auction, ‘Thu railroad will possibly be held for the sole benefit of stock- holders—for the creditors can have nothing but what the law specially reserves, and the railroad was made an exception to the general features of the law. - In regard to Judge 8) ’8 election, I scarcely know what to say, the majority of the democrats in the counties com) district, in the congressional election of 1845, was between 1500 and 1600 ; hence the & party question, and thus secure this So far, it has nov succeeded, but there y whigs largely indebted to banks, whose joterest will prompt them to vote against Sharkey, though they will probably work under-hand, and charge the democrats with their vices. In the convention ut Jackson, three or four counties refused to make a nomi- nation, and, at last, only a recommendation was made ; but the party organ keeps Wilkinson’s name under the list of democratic nominations, and this will influence many. Still, there are a great many democ: who will vote for Sharkey, in spite of the efforts of the few party and interested leaders. I met, yesterday morning, on his way to Vicksburg, a friend of Judge Sharkey. He was returning from some of the counties in the district, where he has Large cling about for three weeks, and he seemed confident of the Judge's success. He says that in many of the counties where the people never enjoyed bank facilities, they are decidedly favorabl making bank debtors pay back at least a moiety of the sums they have borrowed. Tam glad to see the Lie card in the compromise, = 4 though one thing rather surprised me, viz.: in the copy Colonel Robins showed me of Gen. Barclay’s document the general was-to receive $—, for getting rid of the assignees, when I supposed that halt that amount was to have been paid to the general for his services in se- curing the acquiescence of the stockholders and credi- tors, and for his trouble and expenses therein. But the most untoward occurrence J have seen is an article in the New York Herald, of 4th July, which holds up the assignees in # most unenviable 1ight—aslittle better than robbers—when, in fact, the whole plan of compromise comes from the assignees, and cannet be acted upon without their concurrence. The article | allude to does rank injustice to Colonel Robins, and is calculated to have any thing but a favorable effect on his associates It would appear, from the publication, that it was a new thing, started, a8 a last resort, to get clear of trustews. who were about to squander the property under their charge, and not a plan which one of them, four years t efore, had used best efforts to have carried into ef. Lect, and whose derire to see a favorable result induccd sim, two years afterwards, to visit New York and Phila- delphia to press it upon all parties interested, aa the only feasible plan to realize all that the concern could ever yield, Colonel Robins, you know, is a man of great pride of character, and his most sincere wish wasto effect ach @ compromise as should wind up the concern with credit to himeelf and associates, and with profit to the credi- tors and stockholders,and without injury to the debtors. For this purpose, | know he would consider no sacrifio Lng = and the exertions he has made to accompli it, iow ardently he desired it No man, either stookholdor or creditor, will so heartily rejoiow as he will to see his plan adopted ; and all he desires is any c-edit that he may be properly entitled to, for succerstully winding up @ trust of five or six millions of dollars [t must be any thing but »greeable to him to read sueh au artiole as that in the Heratd, whore columns, four years ago in 1845, announced his offorts to carry it out.” Mr. alker, too, must feel that his ready acquiescence in Colonel Robins’ men towards them. You certainly know that Colonel Robbins first sug- Dogg such # plan, and besought your influence in its favor in 1843. You know how deeply mor- tifled he felt at the little favor it received. Since that time innumerable obstacles have been thrown in | ite — Briscoe laws, quo warrantos and suits, and the whole question would now seem to depend on the pre- carious resalt of a popular election, while Col. Robins’ best efforts to overcome sil difficulties, may be thwarted by ill-timed publications.

There being at this time considerable discussion as to who shall be the next governor of oursmall but patriotic State, it may not be uninteresting to the community in general, and to the readers of the Herald in particular to be correetly informed in regard to the hopes, plans, ‘aud prospects of one of the aspirants to that office. ‘The first,and,in fact,the only candidate, who at this early day has openly presented himself, is the Hon. Wm. . Wright, thelate M. C. from the Sth district. Thisgentle- man has 4 party of his own—they constitute a large part of the whig party proper, together with a portion of the democratic party, some of the most influential democrats being his personal friends, and giving him secret political assistance; as, forinstance, pl ing mselves not to run against him, ke. ko. ‘The Wright party was first estab- lished in 1843 ; its object, “ rotation in office,” and the overthrow of the Pennington clique, both of which objects it has accomplished. Mr. Wright has passed silently through two congressional terms, always voting with the whig party; his successor, Stratton, our present Governor, and office-holders nominated by him, belong to the Wright clique. ‘The Wright party is at it divided isto two fac- tions, viz.: those who are holding or expecting office, ‘and those who only vote for William Lng ene! the fun of the and for the emoluments attending his election. former constitute a very amall section of the party, and they differ from the others in opinion only as to the time when Mr. Wright should run for Governor. The office-holders oppose his running for next Governor, on the ground that for the coming three years there will be no impor- tant offices in his gift, should he be elected. The plausi- ble arguments advanced by these itlemen had well nigh entrap; the sens cullottes into @ coalescence ; pew bys it hearing of what was going on, com- 1 conspiracy. The ball has been ‘opened for Bids oy! by sending a brother of one of our | tors into Morris county, where he, in connection with another , 1s conduct- img a paper, which ia to advocate the cl of Wright against any other candidate. The prospects of Mr. W, would be better, if it were not that he is cursed by some indiscreet friends, who have done him much injury. Last winter, an honorable member of our legislature, took him under his especial protection, and undertook to elect him into the U. 8. Se- nate, in the of Senator Miller, whose term was about expiring. The attempt failed, and the means used to attain the end proposed, will ere long, probably be made public. The chances of election are decidedly in favor of Mr. W. The religious part of the community ‘are also strong- ly in favor of his election. He was born and brought up in the land of steady habits, and migrated from the State of Connecticut about twenty years ago. The peo- ple of his district, charmed with the puritan simplicity of hischaracter, his zeal in the cause nf temperance and true religion,his brilliant talents, and high moral worth, twice sent him to Congress, and now + oy ople of this State, without distinction of party, for same reasons, intend to make him their Governor.
