She did not arrive at Boston until after the mail train left that city yesterday afternoon. The English News, We received last night, and publish in this day’s paper, the substance of the English news received yesterday at Boston by the steamer. It is highly and deeply important. The rise in corn and cotton is most significant and extra- ordinary. It is true that after the accounts were received at Liverpool from this city, giving a ststement of a large crop, the article receded slightly ; but still the broad and general fact exists, of arise in these two important staple: of the United States, and this, too, in the midst . of a revulsion in the money market in England. It must be admitted that there seems to be a lull in money affairs there, for the present; failures still take place but they are few; and far betweens and there is greater ease in*the money market A large French loan of 250,000,900 of francs’ equal to £10,000,000, has been taken by the Rothschilds, without producing any effect in London, and from this circumstance, it is highly probable that a great deal of the stringency in London, ard elsewhere, was produced. We have said the rise in cotton and corn, in the face of such a revulsion in England, is extra- ordinary. Iti England and its dependen- cies were blessed with bountiful crops last sea- son. In the face of this, we see a rise in corn, proving conclusively that they must import tities for consumption. If the rise large. ous: gins arly in the day as it has, the increase in the ce must be greater as the season ad- vances. This demand undoubtedly springs from the large pepulation of England and Ire- land, and the natural deficiency of the crops froia the nature of the limited quantily of territory. They have the population, and they must be fed; andif they have not the food, of course they must import it, at any price at which they ean get it. It is much the same with cot- ton; the manufacturers must have a supply, and although a revulsion in,the money market may temporarily reduce the price, still, inthe end, it will recover itself. These views of the cotton and corn markets account for the recent intelli- gence, and the same views also point to the pro- bability of a similar revulsion taking place in the money market on a future day, to those we have seen take place. The exchanges, by the imports of cotton and corn, will be turned against England; the specie that has been flowing from the United States for a short time past will soon ceme back. Another panic will be created in the course of a few months. We will, however, have a lull, a quietude, but it is very doubtful if it will ever be permanent, although many on this and the other side will indulge the belief that it will be, and that all danger is over. ‘Thus far in relation to money affairs. On the continent, extraordinary things are taking place —suicides, and murders, and fatalities a la Praslin. The Count Bresson, who Was the agent of Louis Philippe in negotiating the Spanish marriages, could not stand his conscience any longer—so he cut his throat, and went to the other world as fast as he could. Otuer distin- guished persons have followed him. The war has begun in Switzerland, and where it will end, no one can tell. Conspiracies are hatching in Paris. In short, the whole continent is in a state of doubt, difficulty and danger, together with England. A full account of the present state of England and the old world, and many things beside, will be found in to-morrow’s piper. RT: | os Tue Post Orrice.—Mr. Polk, in his mes- sage, seems quite delighted with the idea that Cave Johnson, by his management, has made the Department pay its own expenses. But look at the sacrifices ! Look at the hundreds and hun- dreds of failures, and the derangement of all the foreign mails! The American people don’t care about a few hundred thousand dollars, nor even a few millions, provided they can have their basiness done with promptitude, fidelity, deci- sion and accuracy. Our domestic mails could not have been worse managed than they have been during the last year. The number of failures has been enormous; and as to the fo- reign mails, we all know what they are. It may be alleged, however, that the arrange- ment of the foreign mails lies with foreign go- vernments, and that the derangements are ow- ing to the obstinacy of these governments. But when Cave Johnson turned his attention to the organization of ocean steamers and foreign mails, he ought to have preceded his arrangements with the necessary and proper negotiations, in order to secure success and regularity, as soon as these steamers began to run. Instead, how- ever, of doing this, he paid no attention to these foreign negotiations in relation to postages; but alter his blunderings were made apparent, then for the first time he sent out Major Hobby to mend and repair his errors, with, however, little ut any prospect of success. We adhere to our opinion, that he is the most illiberal—the most narrow-minded and the most blundering Postmaster General, that has ever been inflieted upon the Department. We cannot eo lorse bis character as a Postmaster, as Mr. olk has done ; but we think he would make a capital Shylock in Wall street.

The steamship Lome is ph) telegraphed. She is 35 miles dis'ant, E N E will be up about 6 o’clook She will be up at 6 o’clook oe evening. The steamer reached Boston about six o’clock, and the following intelligence was immediately transmitted to this city over the wires. THE NEWS. The advices from Liverpool are to the 19th ult., inclusive. 18th No business was transacted beyond the mere ceremony of opening, which wis done by royal commission. The corn market, in Liverpool, on the 19th, to2 o'clock, was steady atthe quotations. The attendance was very fair. The French loan of two hundred and fifty mil- lion of franca, has beenadjudged to M. de Roths- child, at 754, which was the minimum reserved; the adjudication had little or no effect upon the English market. An announcement reached London on Mon- day, that a formidable conspiracy had been discovered in Paris, which had the effect of seriously depressing the English funds for a short time. The committee of the stock ex- change had commenced an investigation into the circumstances connected with the report, but it could only be traced to Folkestone, from which it was received by the electric telegraph. Hostilities haveat length commenced in Swit- zerland, at the fortified city of Friberg. Some skirmishing had taken place, in which the troops of the Sonderbund were worsted. Count Bresson, French Ambassador at the Court of the Two Sicilies, committed suicide en the 2nd ult.; anda short time previous, Count Mortier, French Ambassador to the Court of Turin, attempted to murder both his children, and to cut hia own throat, while laboring under a fit of insanity. Dr. Felix Mendelesohn Bartholdy, the eminent composer of “Elijah,” died suddenly at Leipsie, on the 4th ult., in the 39th year of his age. A convention has been entered into between the Pope, the Grand Duke of Tuscany and Lucca and the King of Sardinia, for the formation of a tariff, based upon the principie of the German Commercial League. The measure has been hailed throughout Europe with the greatest pos- sible satisfaction. The state of Ireland i system of agrarian res manifested; landlords vengeance of the people. The French mail steamer Union was to leave Havre on the 24th ult., her departure having been delayed in consequence of the injuries which her machinery suffered upon the last voyage from New York. The Sarah Sands will resume her place upon the line on the 22d January. The British and North American steamers will continue to run fortoightly during the win- ter, until the new vessels shall be ready, when the spring will commence with a weekly mail ; the new arrangement will take effect on the Ist of January, on which day the Cambria will sail from Liverpool for New York. The packet ship Stephen Whitney, was totally lost at 10 o’clock, P. M., of the 10th ult., on her voyage from New York to Liverpool, under cir- cumstances the most perfectly appalling, that the imagination can possibly conceive. Mis- taking the light upon Rock Island, near Cape Clear, on the south coast of Ireland, for the Old Head of Kinsale, she continued her course, intending to inake Cork arbor, but in less than a quarter of an hour, with a suddenness which defied all human effort to avert her fate, she came broadside ona rock called the West Calf, four miles inside the Cape, and in less than ten minutes after striking, she dashed to atoms, overwhelming-no less than ninety-two of her helpless crew and passengers. Eighteen only, of one hundred and ten, succeeded in clam- berifig up the face of the rock which forms a wretched island, containing three fishermen’s truly frightful. A ince is every where jaily falling before the 8. mhe following isa list ot the officers and crew that perished:— Charles W. Popham, master, Irishman; Robert Gill. 2d mate, Englishman; Thomas Bills, George Reymond and Wm. Browne, N. Haven; Chas. Browne, James The British Parliament was convened on the | ‘The ‘Baring ana Brother's Ciretslar. Lowpon, 18th Nov., 1847. We have had few failures of importance since our last advices of 3d instant, and t.is cireumstance alonn has given more tone to commercial sffsirs. The minimum rate of interest charged by the Bank of England will Probably remain at 8 per cent. uatil after themecting of Parliament; but discount in other quarters is already to be bad on cheaper terms, and as the general liabill- ties have now become so mach reduced, there js a grow- tug impression that money, in the natural course of things, must soon become easier. The tunds have ad- vanced considerably : consols closing this afternoon at 84 fr money, and exchequer bills at 2s discount to par. The French three per cent, loan for two hundred and fifty millions francs, has been taken at fos. 76.25, equiva- lent, with discounts, to » cash price of fos 7330. In foreign and colonial produce there has been rather, more disposition shown to operate, but we regret to ray that in the manufacing districts trade still continues ins | very depressed state, The overland mail, which leit Bombsy on 1st Oct., arrived on the 4th inst. It brought dstes from Madras to 20th, and from Calcutta to 18th Sept , but the commercial intelligence was unimportant: Ashes—Prices of Cavada remiain nomoslty the same :| We have no United States here. Brandy continues quiet. Cozoa—Sales of Trinidad hasbeen made to some extent, from 398 6d to 48s, belog moderate pricesy Nothiig done in Brazil or Guayaquil. Cochinea!— ‘The sales, since our last, comprise about 600 bags, chiefly Honduras, Silver, from 3s 11d to 68 4d. being about 3d per 1b. dearer. the demand ruaniog more on the ordi- nary sorts. Copper Shea'hing remains firm at 11d per Ib, We quote “tough cake” £98. and tile £97 per ton, but there isnot much doing. Coffee—The home trade | have taken, since our last, about 300 casks, 12,000 bags, | gomsisting principally of Ceylon and Costa Rica, at | rather better prices. Native Ceylon now brings 33s to 32s 64, while Coste Rica ranges from 30¢ to 633, for oxport. There is little doing, though a slightly im- proved demand has manifested itself in some of the Con- tinentai markets The Corn Market has been better supplied with farmer’s wheat since our last, and prices have deelined, in consequence, about 34 per qr. United States wheat is also rather cheaper, while barrel flour continues difficult of sale, as the quality here is generally indifferent. Indian Corn has advanced in Ireland, and holders are firmer here in consequence. The follow- ing are the nearest quotations of the day, vis:— United States red wheat 393.8 45s. perimp. qr.; white 47s @ 61s. per imp. qr. Flour, 268 to 28s per bbl. Inferior and sour Indian corn, 20s to 34s per 490 lbs, Barley 20s to 228 per imp. qr. Oats 18s to 20s per imp. qr. Indian corn meal, 15s to 16s per bbl. Co/ton—The advices steamer Cambria bave not improved the Liverpool market, which yesterday was dull. Drugs Without material change, in the'abseno# of public sales. Hemp continues neglected. St. Petersburg, clean, is held at £37, without fiading buyers. Hides as las} quoted. There is little doing, but present, rates «1 scarcely likely to experience any depression. Iniigo is firmer, and purchases are no loner to be made at the October currency, though hitherto no marked advance has been realized. As before noticad. the article has declined to prices lower than ever before known. While the next crop in Bengal promises to be moderate, and as difficulties may be expected from the recent failures among the large owners of factories, fature prises would seem to be susceptible of some improvement. The Iron Trade is much depressed, and prices have deciiced a good deal, with still a downward tendency, and the masters have already determined to resort to reduction of wages. Common bar, in Wales, can be bought at £8 5s, with one per cent discount ; and rails at £8 per ton, cash. Scotch pig cannot be quoted over 50s on the Clyde, Swedish nominally £11, and Archangel £13 108 perton. Lrad—English pig is at present fiat, but no sellers under £18. There are several parcels of Spanish in the market, which might be had at £17 6s. Winseed Cakes continue in great demand, and American realize £9 to £11 per ton according to quality. Little doing in Fish Out. Sperm £80 to £81. South Sea £24 to £26: Pale Seal £28. Cod £26 perton. Linseed Oil is dull at present, at 238 9d. per owt, but at this low price s de- mand has already sprung up from the Continent. Rice is mere enquired for, and prices of East India have im. proved about ls. perowt. Bengal is worth from 10s to 15s., and Madras 8s. 6d. to 128. per cwt. Saltpetre at- tracts more attention, and prices have an upward ten- dincy. A small parcel landed has been sold at 30s. per 8 lbs. refraction, and 300 tons to arrive have been taken at 20s, 6d., warranted, and under that refraction. Raw Silk.—The public sales ocompris- ing, in all, 6100 bales commenced yesterday; 3400 bales have passed, of which 1,000 have been sold, vis: 700 China’s, and 300 Bengal’s. Taysaame have gone off rather better, ruling from 9¢ 8d to 10s. Tsatlees reoged from 10s 6d 14a to 16s0n previous rates, at which, also the few Bengals have been realized. Spelter cen still be bought for £17 10s, though the large holders will not sell under £18. Shert Zinc £27. No material change in Spices, In Sugar, f.r home use a large busi- ness has been doing, and prices have recovered about ls 6d from the lowest point; the trade havetaken about 7000 bhds, and 2600 bags, while the other sales molude 650 cases Brazil, 1000 boxes Havana, 161 barrels and bas- kets Java, and 1200 hhds P. Rico, at prices mot previ- ously obtainable. At the company’s sale of 22,159 Daskets held at Amsterdam on the llth instant, the whole found buyers rather above valuations, vi: from 26f © 36%f, being in average about 4f. under the high rates of 6th September; in other sorts there bas been little doing, and at St. Petersburg they remain flat. Tullow remains as last quoted. In tea we have little to remark, as the trade continue to supply their requirements at former rates. At public sale last week, 16000 packages were put up and 3600 sold at a reduc- tion of 1q to 2d per lb on gunpowder, and 134d per lb on medium Conguus. 7in—In English not much doit Bave discounted bills of good reputation, at 7, cotena| 6% per cent. In the money market yesterday, @ better feeling prevailed, and no new failures were reported. Conscis closed at 88% for money, with extensive trans- actions, and for account, at from 81} to 83K A con- siderable sale of stock, however, damped the market. Foreign bonds commanded very trifling attention, The friends of the Royal Bank and North end South ‘Wales Bank, both of which roently suspended pay- ment, entertain strong hopee that thy will bein « posi- tion toxesume business early next month. Very great contempt is felt in this country for the alarmists, who part of the New York prees M.

Se complete was the destruction of the doomed ship, that the only vestiges of her to be found, are smell pieces of timber, not more than four feet long. [The Stephen Whitney belonged to Robert Kermit’s line ot New York and Liverpool pack- ets. She was about eight years old, measured 850 tons burthen, and was valued, together with her cargo, at $60,000, on which ammount, we un- derstand, an insurance had been effected in Wall street. She sailed from this port on the 17th of October, under the command of Capt. Pop- ham.J—New York Heraup. The royal mail steamer Cambria arrived at Liverpool on the 15th ult. The steamer Missouri reached Havre, on the 11th. The ship Sea, at Liverpool on the 10th; the Cambridge on the Mth; the Kalamazoo on the 13th; the Constitu- tion on the 18th ; the Wyoming, from Philadel- phia, on the 13th.

Nevertheless, this reaction, so well begun under the combined influence of returning con- fidence snd a gradual relaxation of ‘the money pressure, has, within the last few days, been @reatly affected by some additional failures, the most serious of which bas been the stoppage of Tru man & Cook, of Londop, an eminent brokerage house, whose liabilities are estimated at £350, Although | the price of money is still high and insolvencies are rife, the fury of the panic has been stayed, and the prestige of brighter and happier days ean be distinguished amidst the darkuess of the past and the gloom of the present. Trade is evidently making Vigorous strugzies to rise. Money is yet most dificult to be had.— Commercial distress has not been materially arsuaged; but hope is high, and the future is promising. Towards the latter end of last week there was a deoi- dedly more cheerful feeling exhibited in the manufao- turing distriets, and an increased business was done, particularly by private treaty. The failure of Truman & Cook, before alluded to, cast a serious gloom upon the market, and although the casualty does not affect Man- ohester or its neighborhood to any considerable extent, yet it must produce results unfavorable to general {ore- dit, and retard, for while, that gradual approach to well revived confidence so essential to the commerce of the country. The English funda, for the past fort- night, have suffered less fluctuation than for a con- siderable time previously. Though they have suffer. ed many changes, they have displayed greater firmness with aa unequivocal tendency to ascend. Their steadt- ness ‘thas been considerably promoted by the importa- tion of foreign gold, amounting to nearly one million five hundred thousand pounds.

Indian corn, particularly, has been extraordinarily active, and is steady at present quotations, whilst the best white is re- tailing at 40s. Indian meal for Irish supply is also very brisk. In London the market ie by no means so active as in Liverpool and throughout the provinces generally. On Wednesday the attendance of buyers at Mark Lane was very small, and the transactions exceedingly limi- ted; quotations, however, had not receded. _Tevecaaraic Prices or bo ag et iN Peg oi Nev. 19.

The materials are brilliant, we admit; but the production itvelf is extremely lame, uogramma- tical, badly worded, full of repetition, loosely puttogether, and presents no condensed views, statements, or ideas. It is the worst written message that evercame from Mr. Polk’s hands. Why itis so, is beyond all comprehension, unless itarises from the opp,ession occasioned to his mind by the magnitude and sublimity of the ma- terials before him. In our estimation, it is com- mon place and common rate, although it contains useful information,but no thing that has not been discussed in the independent newspapers for monthsbefore. Oaly on one peint does it show any brightness or decision of character, and that is in the recommendation to form a civil govern- ment in New Mexico and California. The Proposition to Congress to create a civil government in those tegritories is decisive and particular, and will at once bring up all the im- material and subsidiary issues which have here- tofore created eo much talk throughout the coun- try. It will present to Congress at once, the Wil- mot proviso. The proposition, in itself, is just avd proper. There iano use in delaying any lon- ger, out of delicacy towards M xico. Let us take the matter into our own hands—let us take indemnity for the past at once, by taking posses- sion of California and New Mexico, and security for the future by holding on to the rest of Mexi- co, till the people of that country come to their senses, and organise a permanent government.— If they cannot organise a permanent govern- ment, why, then, the whole of that republic will fall on our hands, like a waif on the ocean, for better or for worse. In the meantime, we approve of the proposi- tion of organising a civil governrgent in New Mexico and California; and it is fall time, too, that something should be done in Oregon, of the same kind. While we approve of a great many recommendati chsi in the message, we must still withhold any admiration for its com- position, its construction, wording, or ite general arrangsment of topics. In fact, the tele- graphic condensation, imperfect as it was, seem- ed to be a better written production than the real documentiteelf. Cuniovs Facrs.—In, looking over the esti- mates for the appropriations necessary for carry- ing on the operations of government, laid before Congress by the Secretary of the Treasury, we find the following curious factse The total num- ber of lamps in the light house establishment of the United States, is 2976. The cost of bringing to the seat of government the votes for President and Vice President, is the round sum of $18,000. It might be done for $500. . Our intercourse with foreign nations, costs $313,000, which is made up as follows :— Salaries of ministers........ Salaries of seoretaries of legation: Salary of minister resident to Tur! print Aah pened mo gation to Tur! Contingent expenses of all ofall the abroad Contingent expenses of foreign intercourse. . .. Intercourse with the Barbary ree . Salary of consul at London ve Salary of consul at Beyroot. The proposed amount for meking medals for Indian Chiefs, is $431 95. The following 1s a curious estimate of the pro- bable amount that will be required to subsist the regular army and voluntcers in the service of the United States, from July 1, 1843, to June 80, 1849 :— Rey army. $2,999 377 60 Volunteers 2.492 000 00 Employéxs 866 875 00 Total. .

Tue Orera.—The Astor Place Opera present- ed a greater scene of magnificence, last evening, than it has done on any previous occasion. Signora Biscaccianti made her début, and was most enthusiastically received throughout the whole of the opera of ‘La Sonnambula.” She has, evidently, many friends and admirers, who testified their friendly feeling frequently in the course of the performance of the arduous chur- acter of Amina, that which the fair débutante personated. ‘The lady has great powers of voice —is well cultivated, and, withal, possesses a brilliant black eye, that speaks with intelligence and feeling. Vietti, the tenor, was in fine voice, and sang with a great deal of skill aod deep feel- ing. He looks very much like Gardoni. As we have already stated, the audience was the most brilliant and magnificent, in every rea- pect, that have graced this temple of fashion this season—even more so than the first night The whole house Shas full; the corridors were well sprinkled, and the amphitheatre aloft was quite well filled. The ladies were never better dressed, or looked more magnificent, as they shone inthe tull effu'gence of the chand-lier. The costume generally were fresh snd tasteful, presevting. ia a good deal, the sappearauce of the Académie Royale ona Grent night. By @ Repo.

For| some time past certain speculative interests in Wall street, or those which are in favor of an inflation of the currency, have been dissatisfied with the policy pursued by some of the banks. There is a certain class of our business men, otherwise very intelligent and useful mem- bers of society, whe possess some question- able notions on the subject of the currency, and who are anxious, in every possible way, to get up a spirit favorable to an infla- tion of the currency, an inflation of prices, end that same redund:ncy of paper money, which caused the revulsion in this country im 1887. On the other hand, there is a few of the banks conducted by monied men, on sound principles of finance, which are in oppo- sition to this policy of inflation or speculation. Taese banks are geacrally known to be the Na- tional Bank, the Bank of America, and the Mer- chants’ Bank. The policy pursued by these banks is founded on correct principles; princi- ples which are identical with those of the sub- treasury, practised upon by the general govern- ment. A banking system, however, conducted on these principles, is very hostile to an inflation of priées, und to that ready mode of getting rich by speculation, which too maay men among our commercial classes are apt to indulge in. We see the tendency of this principle in the present condition of Eogland. A very strong interest is organising in London, and throughout Eng- land, in tavor of creating apaper currency not convertible into specie, and merely nominal and illusory. Such a system of currency, if adopt- ed, will sogn lead to a terrible revolution in that country, and overthrow its commercial and other departments ofsociety. In other countries, a revulsion similar to that which we had in 1887, would have created a bloody revolution, and changed the form of government. With us, it created merely a civil revolution, and ousted the party in power at that day. In the present state of things in this country, in connection'with the currency, the policy of the three banks in Wall street, which have been denounced, is the only correct'policy to pursue;and ifthere are any banks conducted on similar prin- ciples in Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, or elee- where, they ought to form acombination to man- age their affairs, and control the currency of the country on similarly sound principles, which ap- pear to have heen adopted by those banks in Wall street. Unless something of this kind is done, the commercial! affuirs of this country will un- dergo some unfortunate disturbance before a year has passed away. By a combination of certain banks on these principles—by a concen- tration of their efforts, and a deposit of their moneys in this city or im London, they would very soon not oaly regulate the currency of this country, but also the foreiga exchanges, which fire now regulated by the Rothschilds und others, for their individual interest. Heretofore the exchanges have been under the control of the Barings, the Rothsehilds, and other large houses; it is time the system was changed, end that American, and not toreign, interests managed the exchanges, as well as the currency, of this country. ABOLITIONISTS AND ANTI-ABOLITIONISTS.—For along time past, that school of philosophers call- ed abolitionists, in the North, have every year held their conventions in this city, and every | year passed resolutions for the immediate disso- lution of the Union. Those resolutions have been passed in public halla, regularly and unani- mously; but unfurtuuately for their movers, the Union will not dissolve. We remember when a boy.to have seen a mad-' maa teke his stand under a great tree, and look up atthe sun at noon-day. When interrogated as to his object, he said he went there to wind up the sun, and thus prevent the world from coming to anend. He believed that the sua would stand still unless he wound it up. One day, however, the world treated him so badly th was determin-d to bring it to an end,out of spite, by neglecting to wind up the sun. He accordingly went to his post as usual, but with a determination not to wind it up,which he kept; but notwithstanding his neglecting to wind up the orb of light, it went on its course and sunk behind the hills of the west as usual, and rose the next morning as usual. These movements, resolutions, conventions, and solemn declarations, by the enthusias's of the north, or any where else, are very much like the determination of the madman to bring the world to an end by refusing to wind up the sun. Of late, the enthusiasts of the North have kept quiet; but we must have always the same quan- tum of madm-n aod madness in the world; and accordingly we find Mr. Middleton, of South Oa- rolina, introducing into the legislature of that State,a series of resolutions, declaring that if the Wilmot Proviso should pass Congress, South Carolina will be at liberty to form @ new go- vernment of its own. Well, if South Caroline should do so, what of it? She is at liberty todo it whenever she chooses. Why don’t she do it? Any man can pass resolutions to form a separate government for himself—any number of men can do the same thing—the abolitionists and anti abolitionists can do the same, and put them- selves in the position of the man who would not wind up the sun, in order to bring the world to an end. The institutiins of the Southern States are their destiny, their misfortune, and their advan- tage. There are few intelligent people in the United States, with the exception of the aboli- tiouiste and the scoundrelly politicigns—who use such questions to humbug the people—who do not pelieve that the siave institutions of the South be long to themselves, and never should be touch- ed, ia any way, by any other part of the country. The colored race of the South are happier in their preseat condition, better provided for, and more comfortable in every respect, than the same race at the North, or the white race of laborers in Europe. All the nonsense, philosophy and affected sympathy uttered by politicians on the subj ct, are the merest fanfaronade in the world We ure sorry to see such men as Mr. Middle- ton giving encouragement to such notions, or attaching consequence to them, in such a way as he has done. Mais ror Evrore —Tar Pxxsipent’s Mes saae —The new elipper ship Memnon, Captain Benjamin, built a few months since tor the East India,trade, will sail for Liverpool this morning, at half-past ten o’clock. She is a magnificent veusel, designed expressly to sail, and as she has seven days start of the steamer, with the favora- ble winds prevailing, her passage will undoubt- edly be a short one, thereby offering a fine oppor- tunity to merchants and others, for the convey- ance of letters and parcels. She will be the first, in all probability, to take the President’s messege to England. Persons wishing to send, can have them in wrappers at an early hour. ‘The ship lies at the foot of Rutgers street, where letters and papers will be received up to the mowent of her departure.
