YORK HERALD. NEW New York, Monday, September 13, 1847, a Se ‘The Expected News from Me: We may expect to receive some late and deei- sive news from the seat of war in a day or two. Indeed, it is now due. The English courier, that was to have lett the city of Mexico on the 29h of August, was expected to reach Vela Cruz on the 3ist of that month. That courier will bring all the news. be due on the Sth inst.; reach that eity or Pensacola, at the earliest pos- sible moment. We may, therefore, expect to receive some important and authentic intelli- gence in a very short time. ¢ Important News from Europe. While the public are awaiting, with intense interest, the later advices from the city of Mex- ico, the commercial cammunity are looking with considerable anxiety for the errival of a packet ship or st-amship, with later intelligeuce from Europe. The next news from the other side of the Atlantic, will be of no ordinary in- terest. ‘The South American Republics..The Char- acter of thelr Leaders, We have lately alluded to the expedition of Genera! Flores, of Equador, and more recently to the movements of Rosas in Buenos Ayres. We have also published the proclamation issued in Central America, relutive to the Mexican war,and of the movements of some the Central Americans against the United States. We speak of all these, not only because they are interesting to the mass of our readers, but because the affairs on this continent must hereafter be influenced by the spirit of enterprize and progress that now pervades this Union. It is necessary to speak ofthe eflurts to establish monarchies in any of these republics, They never can be established so long as we possess the power and resources we now do, to nip in the. bud every attempt of the kind. To speak of it, therefore, is an idle waste of time and ink. But to Equador again— In La Union, « newspaper published at Carrac- cas, the capital of the Republic of Venezuela, we find an editorial article on the subject of Gene- ral Flores’ expedition, which concludes with the following words :— The muny excellent projects for the happiness and prosperity of Equador, which General Flores contem- plated carrying into effect by means of his expedition, fully reveal to us what is wanting in our own governments, Certainly it is not power they lack, for they clearly might have done, and may do all that General Flores intended to do in favor of the material interests of their respective countries, and if the well-being of those couutries be #0 essential to their tranquility, they would thus attain their principal object, viz ; peaoe and progress, What else the American Republics re- quire? ‘This is the secret ofthe power of government— Tae only proof which trenquilizes the people with regard to the inteations of thei but unfortunutely what ‘we who are not in power 6e@ go Clearly, seems to be hid- den from the viltw,of thove who govern by the elevation of their position. It is rumored. General Flores is coming ww Venezuela. We havi additional reason to rejoice at the failure of his late euterprise. Katertaining the most extensive views of national pro- gress, which he well knows is indispensable to the per- manent establishment of and order, he will bring with nim to the land of bis brith, which in this respect stands so much in need of the talents of her en- lightened sous, the abilities and influence which he gave tO a ceuniry where. if he can count mauy devoted friends and grateful bearts. he has also hud sucn deep cause to jameut both ingratitude and perfidy. The Venezuelian peuple will hail bis arrival with feelings of brotherly affection, and with un eager desire to embrace a fellow- cOuutryman, who returns to his fatner-land through a reverse of fortuns, but loaded with triumphs snd covered with glory, celebrated ulike for his talents and his Bravery in the field.” There can be very little doubt but that the Venezuelians do justice to the character and views of one of their worthiest citizens, and that they await his urrival amongst them with fraternal expectation. We applaud such gen- erous sentiments, and comprehend, at the same time, that the peopl» of Venezuela, differing widely from the retrograde party in Equador, know well their own interest—know how to render the meed of praise where it is due, and are imbued with sentiments of sincere patrio- tism. Still, asthe writer to whom we allude, objects to the intended expedition of General Flores, although he recognizes the justice of his cause, we Cannot refrain from saying that the said expedition, according to our view of the matter, curried onits side both justice and equity, because it was founded upon right, and con- tained within it the germ of civilzation. The right is, to our mind, indisputable, so long as the principles of public, as well as constitu- tional right, are respected. When, between two contracting parties, the one openly refuses to comply with what has been stipulated, the other is, by that faet, authorised to act as if no such contract existed ; for it would be absurd to suppose that when the one party officially and in toto violates atreaty, the other should be bound to acquiesce with aud patiently submit to such breach of public faith. Moreover, General Flores is the legitimate authority of Equador until the year 1861; and if, through sentiments of humanity, that is to say, rather than involve his country in a civil war—he consented to re- sign that authority, it is not the less certain that, when the other party annulled the treaty in all its stipulations, he reassumed, thereby, the double right of a contracting party, free to act, and of constitutional President of the State, with all the duties pre-existing, within the period for which he was elected. In fine, the, inhuman persecutions which followed the nullification of the treaty of Elvira, furnished of themselves a fresh right to amy one having a shadow of authority to repress a barbarous faction, who, not content with trampling under foot a solemn treaty, imprisoned, banished, and steeped themselves in the blood of unoffending men, without pity or remorse ; and our opinions upon this point are so liberal and philanthropic, that even setting aside the clear and indefeasible righ s of General Flores, the powerful conside- ration that he was going to eerve the cause of suffering humanity, and to establish principles of order and true civilization where both are so much wanting, would be sufficient to engage our sympathies and good wishes in his behalt. Tt is difficult to say when Equador will be raised from her tallen and disereditable condi- tion, while the efforts made by Flores, and the immense sums he embarked in his enterprise of regeneration, are facts, realities, which pro- mised that infant republic a happy future. An industrious emigratio., good roads of commu- nication, commercial enterprize, such were the benefits he had prepared for Equador, and which she has lost, at least until a reaction of that pa- triotism which never dies in a free country, en- ables him to carry out his enlightened and x triotic views So much for Equador. Itis our intention, in the present aspect of af- fairs in South America, to increase our means of acquiring intelligence from that interesting portion of this continent. We shall statien in- telligent correspondents where we now have none. Muwivtcent Lisgratity.—As soon as the suf- ferings of the emigrants in the California moun- tains became known to the officers and crew of the United States ship Savannah, then on the coast, a subscription was entered into for their relief, and the handsome sum of five hundred dollars contributed cheerfully. Our tare are no- ble fellows, and deverve well of their country. More was solscribed, but the sailors could raise | no more cash in that world.

They may, indeed, be some- times wrong, but they are more frequently cor- rect in their decision. Maine Exxcrion.—-The election in Maine takes place to-day.

H. and E. Suffert, of Cape Town, have issued a progpectus to establish an association for the cultivation of cotton at Natal. Ata pub- lig meeting, where the object of the company was shortly exposed, the 1,500 shares allotted for Cape Town were all taken within two hours. It is proposed to import immediately 120 Ger- man families, which will take three or four ves- sels, and double at once the present number of white inhabitants, without the least trouble or expense to Government. In consequence of the cheering prospect pre- sented by the adaptation of Natal tor the culti- vat.on of cotton and indigo, land in that colony has risen considerably in price. The half of a farm near d’Urban wes very recently sold for £900, and one of the Umgenie allotments, sold by government a few months ago for £20, was purchased for a party in Cape Town for £200. The Graham’s Town Journal contains a very long general order from the Governor and Com- mander-in-Chief, disbanding many of the burgher levies, and remodelling the others. It is intimated that there is a prospect of peace being restored with the Kafirs. It is proposed to form a Joint Stock Company for supplying Rondebosch and its vicinity—the line of main road to Cape Town—Cape Town water, from some of the springs on the eastern slope of Table mountain. ‘The imports for the last, year, which amounted to £159,869, hi + £1,061,692 15 10 998,201 15 1 + £53.491 0 9 ?

This muy be attributed princi- pally to guano vessels, which have ceased to visit the ports, and partly, perhaps to .he fines which were levied in 1845, under one of the provisions of the Merchant Seamen's Act, but which fines, it is understood, have ceased to be levied in consequence of an order to that effect from the home government. Mr. Isaac Chase, United States consul, under date of May 29th, gives notice that during his temporary absence, he has appointed Mr. Thomas Hall, vice consul of the United States of Ame- rica in that Colony.

After gazing at It for a few minutes, we were lost in a reverie of admira- tion—we saw, we thought, the chest heave with the exer. cise ef the lungs—we saw the bosom rise and fall. and could not reatise that it was cola, we can hardly say in- ‘animate, marble that was before us. ‘The company pre- sent—ladies and gentlemen, felt as we did.

The Buildings and Ground where the Agricultural Fair will be Held. ‘The attention of a great people could not be fixed upon anything more important and ennobling than agri- culture; nothing is more ennobling, because that which ennobles man most, is that which best secttres his hap- piness; no employment can be more honorable or judi- cious, than those efforts which are being made by men of energy and genius, to diffuse agricultural knowledge among the people; agriculture is the science of peace; it is @ means, (around which « halo of light is being thrown, and with which we are constantly becoming more familiar) to promote human interests, and to sub serve human happiness. ‘The intense interest which the citizens of this State have evinced in the welfare of their agricultural society, is regarded a8 a most fortu- nate circumstance, and 4s indicating a continued im- provement in the prosperity of the peop!

In the centre of the grounds is an ian tent, cupa- ble of receiving three chousand persons; it is called the Floral Pavilion, and it is dedicated to Flora, the Godders of Flowers, and to Pomona, the Goddess of Agriculture. ‘This pavilion is under the exclusive charge of Dr. Alex- ander Th mpson, of Aurora, Cayuga county. Under his direction and supervision, # temple of fluwers and fruits is now being erected in the pavilion, He is said to be a gentleman of exquisite taste, and if 1 may judge by the accounts of his succers in this deparcment at che pre vious State Fairs which | have reovived, [ ub I may say, that the Florat Pavilion will be something extreme. ly beautitul. Immediaicly in the rear of the Floral Fa- vilion is another large tent, called “The Soviety’s Lent.” Under this tent tne address of the lamented and venerated Silas Wright will be toad by General Joho A. Dix, or some other geatleman whom the society may select. ‘The arrangements are such, that all will haye a good opportunity to hear. On’ Wed- nesday evening, the 10th instant, if the weather is fine, this tent will be brilliantly lighted, and there will be some speaking by Gov. Hammond, of South Carolina, and probably by Daniel Webster, who has promised to be present if bis health will adiit of 11; other gentlemen will also have an opportunity to speak. Imumeiately after the delivery ot these speeches, the grand ball wiil be given at the United States Hotel. Behind “the So- ciety’s tent” isa neat building called the “Dairy Hall,” where butter, cheese, aud the other products of the dairy wiil be exhibited; upon the top of tuis pretty and sub- stantial building, a cheese press will be placed to denote ite character. Upon the left hand of the floral pavilion isa plain and beautiful structure, called the “Ladies’ Hall?—here will be a display of needle work, counter- panes, carpets, shawls, stockings, and all the other use- fal articles which the fair daughters of our excellent far- mers are accustomed to these daughters will be present, and they will enhance the beauty of their work- manship by displaying it with their own hands.‘ fine building is about one hundred feet in length, and upon the top of it will be placed an old fashioned spin- ning wheel, which was @ household implament in general use in the good old days. Upon the right band of the floral pavilion is a commo- dious building, called the “ Mechanics’ Hall;’’ here all mechanical and agricultural implements will be placed tor exhibition; the building will be surmounted by a plough. Upon the right hand of the Mechanics’ Hall and near the grove, to which I will allude hereatter, two large tents will, be erected by the Onondaga and Monroe County Agricultural Societies—they will bring their tents and their food with them, and their diet, &o., will, thus be regulated according to their taste. Near the main entrance to the grounds are two business of- tices; one of there is for the able secretary of the nocie- ty, (Colonel B. P, Johnson, of Oneida.) where he will receive and record the entries of ali stock and imple- ments as fast as they are made; the other business office is appropriated to the press, exclusively. In the tiful grove of pines and oaks, which is on the side of the grounds nearest the town, will be erect- ed several tents for the officers of the society and for questa; these tents will be under the charge of Cap- tain Strain, of the arsenal at Albany. ‘here it also be a soda fountain in this grove.

We receive it as regularly as Mr Cave Johnson’s present mail arrangements per- mit. Its columns presont @ faithfal picture of the pre- sent condition of the Cherokee people, among whom earnest movements in behalf of temperance, religion and moral reform, gure side by sid» with outrages of the most violent and ferocious character. We copy a few paragraphs from the Advocate of the 19th ult., in illus- tration :— On the 16th of September the annual celebration of the Cherokee Temperance Society will be held at this y py, camp meeting was held last week in Flint District, which was very numerously attended, and at which there were from thirty to forty conversions, A similar meet- ing it is thought will take place in this vicinity sometime in September. Itis stated that a Cherokee has arrived in Canadian District, who reports that the Cherokee settlement on Boggy, in the Uhoctaw nation, has been recently de- stroyed by fire by the United’ States tropps and the Chickasaws. It ig quite likely that the report is cor- rect. The settlement was composed principally of fugi- tives from the nation. It has been reported to us that Jack Spaniard was recently abot and badly wounded by George Spaniard, in the Croek Nation.

Heavy DAMAGES—CAUTION ro oTHERS.—The jury in the case of Eliza Miller va. the Newark Gar Light Co., which has occupied the Circuit Court in thir city some days, brought in @ verdict yesterday of $1500 damages. ‘The case is brietly this.

Miss M. was immediately taken out of the trench, her head being under, and carried to the office of Drs. Darcy and Nich- ols, in'a senseless condition. It was found on examina- tion that the part of the forehead immediately over the right eyo was laid open to the bone. Tne wound being dressed, she was taken to her lodgings, where she eontin- wed under medical treatment some days, being a portion of the time {n @ perilous state. It was further held that her eye is still not perfectly restored. Such is briefly the case made on the part of the plaintiff.

Stock speculators have hada very active, exciting time, and financial circles generally have been much agitated. Tho failure of one of the leading houses in Wall street, created, for the time, considera- ble sensation; but events in that vieinity follow each other in such rapid succession, that no one remains im- pressed upon the mind for any length of time The stock market, during the past weok has been subject to several serious revulsions, out of which the beara, as is usually the case, have come unscathed, Our anticipa- tions, relative to the result of the inflation 4o rapidly go- ing on at the time, in the leading fancies, have been real- ized. It invariably happens that the decline is more rapid than the rise, and prices generally reach a lower depth than that they started from. We are pleased to learn that very few outsiders have been drawn in- to any of these fancies at the high ‘prices current, but op the contrary, many of thie class of operators have taken advantage of the inflation, and thrown upon the market all they had. Thousands of shares have thas been added to the amount previously in the hands of speculators in the street, which must press heavily upon the market, particularly in the event of money becoming scarce and the rate of interest ad- vanclng The brokers cannot carry the immense amount of stock, for any length of time, and in the absence of arfy rpeculative movement, prices caunot be maintained. As regards the complexion of tne money market and the effect upon the stock market of any reduotion in the supply of floating capital, it is impossible at present to form any opinion, Everything depends upon the nature of our intelligence from the seat of war and from Europe, and until we get definite and decided advices from those svotions, financial operations generally must bo based upon uncertainties, We, however, anticipate the most favorable reports, relative to the prospect of peace with Mexico and as regards the position of commercial af- fairs in Europe. The greatest anxiety exists for farther accounts, and many branches of business have been partially suspended until later advices come to hand. It is our impression that we have heard the worst rrom the other side, that as the season advances, more favorable reports as regards prices, avd more unfavorable reports as regards the harvests, willreach us, The potato crop is likely to be more deficient than that of last year, while the inorease in the product of breadstuffs is by no means likely to be sufficient to make up the deficiency in the aggregate. At the date of our last advices, prices for flour and breadstuffs generally ruled so low that ship- ments from the United States, made at the lowest quo- tations ruling here, could not be made profitably, not- withstanding which the weekly exports of flour, wheat, corn, &e., have been large, not comparatively large, but unusually large under the circumstances. These ship- ments have been made, without doubt, in anticipation of favorable change in the English markets. It must be borne in mind, that the tremendous decline in prices for breadstuffs in Liverpool and London, was the result of three important and influential causes, which coming together, could not be resisted. We allude first to the advance in the rate of interest by the Bank of England, and consequently an increased tightness in the London money market; second to the immense quantity of breadstuffs received at the principal ports of Great Bri- tain, throughout the month of July, from the United States and-from the continent; third, the favorable prospect relative to the harvests of the United Kingdom; all these things combined could not but have hed an un- favorable influence upon prices, and the decline in the face of these facts is not in the least surprising. It now remains to be seen to what extent these thingg still exist. We see no immediate probability of avy improvement ia the Lendon money market; there are 60 Many local causes for its stringency that there is no way to alleviate it The railway movement must have its course; and when that subsides, capital wih, find its way again into the channels of commerce feom which it has been withdrawn. Every thing must for the present give way for that mania, which in its progress, will ruin thousands of individuals, but add immensely to the aggregate wealth of the coun- try, increase very much the facilities of trade, and tend to a more rapid development of the resources of the na- tion, than would have been realized in ages under other circumstances. The tendency of all movements, similar to this, is to partial evil for universal good. So far as the influence of large receipts of foreign flour and grain upon prices in England was concerned, there is no longer any cause for apprehension ; the shipments from thia coqn- try and importation into England having fallen off most materially, This cause is, therefore, partially removed. The last, and perhaps the most important cause of the three, may, for aught we at present know to the con- trary, still exist, that is the favorable prospects relative to the harvests. Much depends upon this, we might aay everything depends upon this, for without an average domestic supply of breadstuffs, prices must advance, no matter what the state of tho mency market muy be, or what may be the effect upon the movement of the Bank of England, or upon the currency. ‘We shall know all abgut these things when the Bri- tannia arrives, She bus been at sen nearly nine duysand will be due about Saturday next, wiin sixteen days later intelligence from all parts of Europe. We cannot resist the impression that our next advices from. the other side will be much more favorable than the last, both aa regards the financial embarrasswents ef thore en- gaged in the corn trade, and as regards orices for our prin- cipal exporting staples, partieularly breadstuffa A few days will settle all these questions, we trust, to the satis- faction of all those interested. ‘The annexed table exhibits the quotations inthis mar- ket for stocks for each day of the past week, and at the close of the week previous.
