A correspondent at St. Helena, ina letter dated suné 16, informs us that Captain Birch, of the Waterwich, of 10 gaas, had just captured a fine brigantine, with 610 slaves on board; she was apparently an Amerioan-built vessel, but had, whe ured, neither papers nor colors on board. ‘The session of the Dutch Chambers was closed on the ith. ‘Thecommission appointed bythe Swiss Diet to con- cert mensures required by the hostile attitude assumed by the Sonderbund, assembled on the Slst ult , and it was decided unanimously that coercion is necessary to repress the attempts of the League. Aonrious story has lately been circulated respecting the King of Bavaria, who is said to have dreamed that he saw three rats. one of which was very fat, another very lean, and the last stone blind. The King sought an ex- plination of his dream, and was informed by a gipsey that the fat rat represented his favourite Lola Montes, the lean one his people, and the blind one himself. ‘The pope bas adopted the heimet, instead cf the shako for the National Guard, because it was worn by the old Romans.

Jenny Lindmade her last appearance last nigtit in “‘Son- nambula,” an opera in which she is said to excel. I must say decidedly, that she has not sufficient force for the character, in which my favorite Grisi issupreme. 1 have heard Grisi in the pri- vate salon, and there she is‘as'fine as in the’ public theatre. Jenny Lind is now going rouwd the provinces to give concerts. In the concert room she pleases, from the extreme*purity and beauty of her voice, but in the higher range of the musi- cal drama, she wants the sublime force of Grisi, and also, Mr. B. says, of Malibran—still she isa wonder, and a peculiar wonder. After going the round of England, she returns to Germany. If ever she appears in Paria, there will be a prodigious controversy about the supre- macy of her talents. The extreme purity and amiability of her private character, so different from Grisi, who is both atermagant and agenius, hus taken very much with the English nobility. A singular occurrence took place at a concert given at the palace, by the Queen, where Grisi and Jenny Lind were to sing. It seems, Jenny, overflowing with good nature, was very desirous of &n introduction to Grisi. It was given. Jeany was all smiles and amiability. Grisi received the advances with coldness, NESW YORK HERALD |= ™——axce—— ‘Theatrical and Musical. Panx Tusaras.—Mr. Collins is a happy actor; no lees According to the monthly report of the ‘Trea- | ¢¢¢llent in the Irish Ambassador than in Paudeen sury Department for August, it appears that the amount of money in the hands of the Assistant Treasurera and in the different mints, was $3,727,051. This comprises the whole available capital of the government. The other resources are not so tangible, but are, however, available at short notice. It appears by the report of the register of the Treasury, that the whole amount of treasury notes outstanding on the Ist instant, was $15,- 808,439 31, of this more than fourteen millions were of the issue authorized under the act of January 28, 1847, leaving but about nine millions of the amount authorized yet to be issued. The resources of the Government to carry on the war, from this to the time Congress convenes, are pretty well reduced, and unless something is done to lessen the expenditures, there will be a deficiency before ways aud means can be pro- vided for raising more money. The expenditures of the government during the past year have been about one million of dol- lars per week, and there is every probability of the expenses continuing’ at this rate so long as the same policy is pursued in carrying on the war, which has marked its progress thus far. It is full twelve weeks from this to the meeting of Congress, which, with the two weeks elapsed singe the financial reports alluded to were made, make a period of fourteen weeks, equal to an expenditure of at least fourteen mil- lions of dollaxs. It is impossible to make an es- timate, with any degree of correctness, as to the amount of revenue likely to be received from customs from the Ist of September to the Ist of December, but we do not anticipate an income of more than five millions from that source. The aggregate resources of the government from all sourees, upto the Ist of December, with the amount of funds now on hand, will not vary much from eigshteen millions of dollars, and the expenditures, for the same period, we estimate at fourteen millions. This will leave a surplus of four millions; every cent of which will, without doubt, be expended before Congress gets ready to provide ways and means to carry,on the war. We are rapidly running upa respectable sized debt. On the Ist of December, 1847, the aggregate amount of the debt of the general government will not vary much from sixty millions of dol- lars, the annual interest of which will amount toa pretty handsome sum. If our indebtedness was arrested at that point, there would be no cause for apprehension, but we see no immedi- haughtinesg, and compulsion. As soon as the introduction was over, the beautiful Italian turned her back to the fair Norwegian. The Queen, who was near by, witnessed this droll circumstance, and from that moment never entered Covent Garden, where Grisi performs. Leopold de Meyer, who arrived here some weeks ago from Philadelphia, left afew days since for Hamburg and Vienna,where he intends remaining for/some time, to repose from his hard work in the United States, and re-establish his health. De Meyer is full of his reminiscences of the United States. He had a considerable search in London before he found us. We went with him to visit the greatest piano establishment in the world—Erard’s. Here we had a long inter- the Queen’s piano, which was there for some repairs; and also one for Prince Albert, which pleased me the most. I allude to the out~ side—it was much more simple than hers, and We understand that Mr. William Winthrop, U. 8. Con- sul. at Malta,and Mr Walter Lock, ofthe Royal Artil- lery, have been engaged during the past month in exca- vatiug a Temple at Citta Veochia, which, doubtless owes its origin to the earliest inhabitants of this island, and may be considered a most remarkable relic, This cu- rioas Pheenician relic, or “Church of the Saracens,” as the country people have already begun to cull it, is sit- uated in a pretty valley, not far from the small church ot Virtul, and oan easily be found by those who, as anti- Gusrians in search of tombs, have made themselves ac- quainted with that part of the island.

The Queen’s I saw four years ago, in Buck- ate prospect of any suspension of our extraordi- nary expenditures. Millions must be piled upon millions to almost an unlimited extent; and it becomes amatter for serious congideration, whe- ther we shall not soon be compelled to submit to a material alteration in our commercial system, for the purpose of providing for the payment of the interest on the immense debt we are rapidly creating. Free Trade in the United States and Great Britain. The past year has been a very important one | in the commercial world, and in the commercial history of the two greatest commercial nations in existence. It has been an interesting era in view with Mr. Erard, who intends establishing their progress, and will, hereafter, be referred to | a branch of his factory in New York. His pia-| asheing the starting time of the most important nos are certainly the finest specimens of Work-| commercial movement of the age. The devel- manship I have ever witnessed.

Notwithstanding the many powerful preju- dices which existed, and the tremendous opposi- tion arrayed against them to the last moment, the ingham palace. De Meyer played on each ot adoption of these measures, calculated to practi them for us, which was, I assure you, arich treat. He expresses himself pleased with his success in America, and speaks warmly of the kindness he received from the Americans. He has probably made eighty thousand dollars. In the only great artists from the continent who have made large fortunes in the United States. cally demonstrate the theory, could no longer be deterred.

The Jowrnai de la Haye formally contradicts the report that the King of the Netherlands intended to abdicate.

Ihave been trying to persuade Cerito to come to America, but she dreads the sea. She is a lovely creature, and has made the greatest sen tion of any danseuse,wherever she has appeared. js unusual in adanseuse. Monsieur Perrot is her husband, also a fine dancer—indeed the first mule dancer of the day. I think the bounding leap of Cerito, when she first appears on the stage, is the most wonderful and most graceful in the air, hke some etherial being. The ap- plause, after the first movement, is deafening, and indeed all through, as long as she appears on the stage. I do not yet despair of inducing hey to come to America; indeed I should like it much, because I know what a treat it would be to a great many who cannot come here. She does not look over eighteen, nor I believe is she more than two-and-twenty. A lovely form, and fine face. Ihave seen her and Taglioni repeat- edly in the same dance together, and really 1 preter Cerito. In the first place, she is younger— much more beautiful, and equally graceful, and her bounding leap, when she first makes her ap- ing unrepressed, or crimes being unpunished, Austria would consider the Pope incapable of maintaining order in his states, and feel it her duty to interfere.

So great were the fears entertained by the French go- vernment lost tumults should ocour at Paris, during the Fetes in commemoration of the revolution of Jnly, that policemen visited all the gunsmiths’ shops, and removed tho locks of the firearms exposed for sale, in order that the weapons might be unserviceable if seized by insur- gent republicans, Inrerestina Case.—Yesterday the schooner Thomas H. Thompson, arrived at this port from Richmond, Va, bringing sixty-six colored people—men, women and children. ‘These people, it is said, were once slaves of a Mr. Edlow, (if the name is rightly tinder- stood,) near Richmond. This gentleman died about four yoars since, and by his will provided that his slaves should be set free, to go where they pleased But not to turn them off utterly penniless working for him all their lives, he further provided that if they chose they might remain on the estate as laborers until they had earned 2 sum equal to $50 apiece, over and above the coat of their maintainance. This they decided to do. ‘Afver working four years on the estate they learn from its managers that their earnings, for that time, averaged about $1480 each! The rest has been swallowed up in charges of maintainance and commissions on sales farm produce! A lawyer whom they employed to act for them, charged $150 for services, which we learn from disinterested authority, were not worth more than five. ‘Those people, finding it would be very long, at this rate, before they earned $50 apiece, determined to stay no longer. The managers tried every means to dissuade them from coming; telling them they would be immedi- ately eold for slaves at the North. But they determined to risk this, and engaged their parsage to Boston, as above The captain, who is a fine specimen of an honest, row!

Taglioni also makes some singular movements, one of which is as an imitation of a proud horse prancing, and then gaily gallops round the stage—then such a shower of bouquets, which she really merits Adieu. Tur Yettow Fever in New Orveans.—The New Orleans Delta has anticipated our sugges- tion, that the papers of that city should publish a daily list of interments during the prevalence of the epidemic there. In another column we publish alist, copied from that paper, of the in terments tor the 24 hours, ending at 6 o’clock, P.M., on the 7th inst. We shall continue, this list from day to day. More Derai.s or THe Battirs.—We give on the outside of this day’s paper some highly in- teresting details of the two splendid achieve- ments at Contreras and Churubusco. We also give a map of the approac.ies to the city of Mex- ico, which our artist has copied trom one pub- lished in the New Orleans Picayune. Laren rnom Cupa.—By the bark Childe Harold, we are in recipt of Havana papers to the 6th inst. The railroad between Puerto Principe and Neuvitas is progressing, some six miles having been levelled. A bridge is about being built over the river Saramaguacan, near Neuvitas. The plan accepted is one proposed by Mr. John Eaton, a gentleman from this country. A fifty gun Spanish man-of-war, (name not given,) ar- rived at St. Jogo de Cubs on the 19th of August, from Spain. From the Havana papers, we learn that an extra ses- sion of Congress had been summoned by the President of New Granada, to despatch some special business. We return our thanks to Capt. Rich, of the Childe Harold for his attention in always giving full shipping re- ports,and we should feel thankful if other Captains would always follow his example. InteLticeNce FRoM Banpavors.—We have received afew numbers of the Barbadoes Mercury and Globe by 8 late arrival, to the 12th ult., from which we learn that the anniversary of the destructive hurricane which yi- sited the island in 1831, was generally observed es a day of humiliation. | system in Great Britain, have had a very favora- ble influence in establishing it permanently in the United States. We have been large export- ers, while England has imported much more ex- tensively than usual. Although the causes which produced this state of things, have no connection whatever with the principles of free trade, they She has also a very fine private character, which have had a most important bearing upon them, and have strengthened the opposition in Great Britain and weakened it in this country. The experiment, if such this movement can be called, is no longer a matter of farther doubt.— It has become one of the established principles movement imaginable. You see her as if flying | of our commercial system, and henceforth will enter more largely in their formation, than ever anticipated by many of its original supporte Eventually the most liberal construction of this doctrine will be adopted, and the literal meaning of the term be carried into practice. As extraordinary as it may appear, it is never-.| theless true, that the government of Great Bri- tain was forced into the adoption of a more liberal free trade system, than it would under other circumstances have established. The de- ficiency in the harvests of the United Kingdom, hastened the movement, and gave its advocates an opportunity to bring the question to a crisis at once, which they were not slow in availing themselves of. The deficiency in the harvests of Great Britain aided this country very much in increasing its exports,and in establishing markets abroad for our breadstuffs. The importations have increased in a corresponding proportion, giving a favorable opportunity for the operation of our revenue tariff, and the consolidation of our new financial and commercial systems. The Mexican war has been the only drawback we have experienced; and had it not been for the immense drain of capital from the channels of trade, for the purpose of providing the sinews of war, we should have reached ere this, under our new commercial organization, a state of prospe- rity unprecedented in the history of the country. The present position of all the great manufac- turing interests of the United States, is highly encouraging. The necessity for protecting these branches of industry has disappeared, and if it ever existed to an iota of the extent argued by the protectionists, they have outgrown such sup- port, and now stand firmly upon their own found- ation, independentof all aid. They have become 8o strongly established, that they can sustain themselves under any commercial system that will support the Government. We are asable to remove at once every remaining restriction upon commerce, as any nation in the world; and so rapid is our progress in every species of indus- try, such is the economy of our Government, when its expenditures are confined to their ordi- nary channel, so great the domestic resources of the country, that we are compelled to adhere to no system which does not give us the most unre- stricted commerce the most sanguine free trade advocate ever dreamed of. We progress as much in ten years as any other country does in a century, and it is therefore dif- ficult to tell what changes a few years will bring about. Care Town, Care or Goon Hore.—We have re ceived the Cape of Good Hope and Port Natal Gazette of the 23d July last, from which we learn that in response to the Lieut. Governor's circular, meetings have been, O’Rafferty, or Teddy the Tiler. In the one, full of quiet, sly humor, and of natural surprises, in the other, of un- | exaggerated, arch, wild, and irresistable comic displays of low Irish life. In the Irishman on his last legs, it strike us that he is unequalls His acting is spirited and con_ sistant ; bis perplexities, his ingenious devices and re- sorts, his easy assurance, his drollery of expressson, are | inGnitely amusing ; a8 are, in the other, his vulgarity of manners, his happy turns of coarse wit, and his uproari- ous fun. In parts like these the house is kept in contin- ual good homor, and often bursts out into the most loud and unrestrained laughter, His native tongue is here heard to great advantage, and gives such piquancy to every flash of wit and merriment, as to be in itself irre- sistable. He identifies himself perfebtly with the charac- ter, itis athing of real life, full of natural spirit and impulses, and of natural energetic action; the very Irishman we have among us in low life—warm hearted, impulsive, brave, generous, shrewd, rich in humor and full of fun, and with a love of fight paramount to all> taking fire at the least affront, and recklessly periling life and limb in a trivial quarrel, Such is Collins, the representative to the very life. Bowery Tuxatax.—It will no doubt be a glad an- nouncement to the frequenmters of the Bowery, that that favorite establishment will open to-morrow evening, remoddelled and redecorated throughout, in such a man- ner as cannot fail to please. The amuvements will com- mence with the tragedy of Brutus, or the Fall of Tarquin, and conclude with the drama of Hofer, the Tell of the ‘Tyrol. Cuatuam Tueatre.—Mr. Fletcher has effected an engagement with the celebrated Jim Crow Rice, so well known to the American public, and that favorite actor ‘as well a Mrs. Nichols, who is also engaged, will appear to-morrow night. The first piece performed will be the Stranger,to be followed by Jumbo Jum, and the evening's amusements will conclude with the Virginia Mummy. Bowery Cincus.—The manager of this establishment is determined to succeed, for we perceive that he is leay- ing no stone unturned to provide every species of amuse- ment. For Monday evening he has furnished a bill that will draw a large attendance, if anything can do it. Broapway Casino.—The entertainments at this place are excellent. They are given every night in the week, Austin Phillips presides at the piano. Society Lisnany.—The necromancy and ventriloquism of Signor Blitz are attracting numbers every evening. It is truly amusing to witness his astonishing feats of legerdemain, Mecuanic’s’ Hatu.—Yankee Hill and Doctor Valen- tine are amusing the uptown folks with their comic de- lineations and yankee stories. They are odd geniuses, and are exceeding clever. Me.opron.—Negro minstrelsy, together with the dancing of Master Juba are inducing crowds to visit this saloon every evening. We percieve by the list of passengers of the Cambridge, from Liverpool, the names of Mr. H. Lynne and Mr. J. M. Dawson. Mr. Lynne’s reputation as a tragedian is well estabiished, both in London and the provinces, and Mr. Dawson’s talents, as an eccentric ght comedian and Frenchman, have placed him high in the public es- timation. Both these gentlemen are engaged by the spirited management of the new Broadway 2: po Herz and Sivori were to give a concert at Bleecker Hall, Albany, on Friday evening. Mr. Dempster was announced for another of his ballad soiries, at Masonic Temple, Boston, last evening. ‘Weare soon to have Dumbleton’s Ethiopian Serenaders in our city. Madame Ciocon and Signor Morra with a corps de ballet, have arrived at Boston, and will appear at the Howard on Monday. Mr. Wallack was to play “Don Cezar de Bezan” and “ Dick Dashall,” at the Boston Theatre on Friday night. Rockwell & Co.’s circus is in Halifax, and the press of that city speak in loud praise of the performances of the compeny. Madame Ablamowicz was to give a concert at Colum- bus, Ohio, on the 16th inst. The St. Louis Theatre has been leased for five years to Messrs. Ludlow & Smith, for $3,400 year. The rent has heretofore been $2,500 In the winter, it is said, it will ‘be leased to Rookwell, for a circus. City Intelligence.

These compleinte are not of recent orizia, We had cherished the hope that all foundgtion for them would soon be removed —henoe, our silence on the subject, We hud hoped that those to whom the management of the caval had been confid- ed, would soon begin to do theer duty; but if half that is told of them may be believed, there is now but little rea- son to hope for better things at their hands. It is desirable to the state, to the people, and to the bond:olders, to bave the canal completed at as early « day as practicable, and the great interests involved in the enterprise should stimulate to the utmost exer- tion those who ha’ upervision of It. ‘The state wants the rev ticipated from it, the peo- je want an outlet to market, and the bondholders want he prooeeds of their investment, of which they have had the promise, and which they trnsted would not be with- held from ‘them through official mismanagement, or something more criminal. ‘To secure the objects named, the loan of sixteen hundred thousand dollars was agreed to, and good taith and common honesty require that the just and reasonable expectations of all the parties to the negotiation should berealized,without unnecessary delay. ‘The immediate parties to the arrangement have their duty. The bond-holders have paid their instal- ments, as the funds were required, and the last instal- ment, which falls due this month, will be promptly met. vo then, does the work progress so slowly ? ‘The board of trustees consists of three, one appointed on the part ofthe State, and two on the part ofthe bond- Stat receives $2,500 per annum; te trustee ¥ the other two receive $5,000 each. The State trustee is and devotes to it his located on the line of the canal, whole time and abilities, The other two live miles away from the line—one in Washingto! in New York, and seldom or never visit the line, though their presence there is indispensable to an efficient pro- secution of the work. They have to be consulted by the State trustee in all cases of doubt or difficulty, and this can be done only by letters. Hence, mischievous delays result from the epistolary consultations, which are constantly going on between the president and fo- reign trustees. There seems to be something wrong, not only inthis mode of consultation, carried on to so it 8 detriment to the canal interest, but in the disparity of ries between the officer who performs nearly all the labor, and those who do comparatively nothing. The workee gets $2,500, whilst those in the enjoymentiof the sinocures receive $5,000 each. ‘The people of Illinoia may possibly consent to pay this sum to public servants who have neglected the work assigned to them, but we opine that no smalt opposition toit will be raised, before such ‘an outrage will be committed. Our Governor will, un- der the new constitution, get but $1,500 per annum, though his duties and labors are as arduous as those of any Governor in the Union. Our representatives in the General Assembly will get but two dollars per day for a limited period, after which they are to get but one dollar per day. The spirit of retrench- ment and economy, that seems to have pervaded the constitutional convention, may have spread among the people, though we are frank to confess that we hope that it will not carry them so far as it has the convention. We are as willl ing 48 any one can be, that public officers should be well paid, but $5,000 per aunum, for doing no- thing, seems to be rather a high salary for debt-ridden Illinois. Such @ salary never will be paid. Not long since, the Governor mildly but firmly remonstrated with the trustees against the course of things onthe canal, and they pledged themselves that no further cause of complaint should occur; but these pledges have not been regarded. They continue to claim the same sala- ries, and to neglect the work, A large corps of engineers and agents are kept in em- ploy upon the canal, at high salaries; as large a number in fact ag was required when the whole lice was being worked. As the canal verges towards eompletion, the number of superintendents, offloers and supernumeraries may be diminished. We have been informed that the business associations of the chief engineer are of such a character as to make it to his interest to delay the work as long as possib! He stated last winter, that the de- lay was occasioned by a want of hands, and when these were procured in New York, by Gol. Oakley, the chief engineer refased them employment, alleging that there were hands enough. The work ona part of the line in Cook county wes, for some time, suspended in conse- quence of a strike among the hands for an advance of only twelve and a-half cents per day, which had better have been paid until cheaper hands could have been pro- gured, than to have let the work stop entirely. ‘The State trustee seems to be powerless. The secre- tary of the board assumes all the authority vested in the board, and controls everything, despite the remonstrances and pretensions of the State trustee. Thus w the whole work is thrown into the hands of bordi- nates, whose interest it isto prolong and protract the work, if possible, forever. Another important fact is worthy of mention. It is known that a large portion of land on the line of canal is held ‘by speculators. By some strange oversight in framing the canal law, the State was prohibited from selling her lands along the line, until three month: the completion of the canal, thus giving others—the speculators—an entire monopoly of market, to the exclusion of the State A law was passed last’ winter mitigating this obnoxious provision, by allowing the State to sell her lands before the completion of the can: thereby opening a chance to benefit the bondholders, and consequently the State. ‘Three gentlemen, well known in the State, were appointed by the judges of the circuit courts, to appraise these lands: Mesars. Matte- son, of Wiil county; Reddick, of La Salle, and F.C. Sher- man, of Cook. The law, however, was rejected by the trustees of the bondholders Why was this? Were they under the influence of the speculators, the engi- neers, the secretaries, the hangers-on generally of the canal establishment ? We will not pursue this subject further at the present time. We have forborne, for a long time, te touch it, because we hoped for reformation in the premises. We shall take it up again. In conclusion, we will add that the canal might have been finished by at least, November next, if the cau officers bad done their duty. Now, it will not be ready for boats before next September. A whole season of profitable business will thus be lost. ‘The public revenue will be diminished, the bondholders will lie out of their dividends, and the people will be deprived of an outlet to market. “New Publications. ‘Tue American Axcnttect, comprising original de- signs of country residences, C.
