Wepublish to-day, by proclamation of the President, ike declaration cf accession of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg Schwerin to the treaty concluded on the 10th of June, 1846, between the United States and the Kingdom of Hanover. By the terms of the acces: ton, it will be seen that the administration, under the dmmediate superintendence of the head of the State Department, has a most vigilant eye to the advance- ment of the great commercial and agiicultural inter- ests of the country. The navigation employed by New England in the South Sea fisheries embraces, as as we recollect, upwards of 650 fine large shipi ‘Not more than about one-half of the whale oil pro- duced by them finds 2 market in the United States. | Nearly all the other half is exported to the Baltic and North Seas, and is principally consumed in the States | of ny. Prussia has long manifested a desire to | monopolize this trade, and even now she advance: bonus of 20 thalers per last to every vessel that wili | engage in it, and gives a premium of 1 thaler for each | ‘Darrel of oil that may be produced and brought home by them. This is fearful odds against our fisherme! and they cannot fail to be highly gratified that Mec! lenburg-Schwerin—which, we learn, consumes more of | theartiole, in proportion to her population, than any European State—bas obligated herself to lay no higher | ou ee it, for the next ten years, than the mere | one of 18 cents, or thereabouts, on the 100 Ibs., less by twenty- r cont than that exacted in | Hanover, and only 0 if of the amount exacted in Prussia and the Zoll-Verein. So much for the watch- | fulness of the President and his cabinet over northern | interests. Now; letus turn to the south and the west, | Im Mecklenburg-Schwerin, cotton isto enter free as in Hanover; tobacco and tobacco stems imported in | ‘hhegsheads or casks are to pay the same duty that is | levied upon them in Hanover—only 70 cents per 100 Ibs; rice in tierces, or half tierces, 40 cents per 100 Ibs. | lnBanover, the duty is To cents per 100 tbs.; and in | y in whatever way im jd. Paddy | (rice in the husk) is to be admitted 7 ig ata mere nominal rate of one cent and a half per 100 Ibs. ‘This is an important concession for the rice grower. {Paaay, | notwithstanding the extravagant and unjustifiable Danish Sound tolls levied on most of our staples. is asimest the only one which is permitted to pass at a | nominal charge; andas this article cannot be carri from Batavia upon as favorable terms agit can from | Charleston, it isevident that we have secured great advantages for our product over that of Java. Mecklenburg-Schwerin levies one cent more—a mere nominal or control tax—on the 100 pounds of our four | staples transiting through her territory on the Ham- | burg and Berlin railroad, than is levied in Hanover and Oldenbui ut, in consideration of this differ- ence, she obligates herself to lay no duty whatever on the same articles transiting in other directions. The | system of transit-duties, from the blow which it re- ceived in theHanover treaty, it is believed will be aban- | doned at no distant day by the German confedera- | tion, as it has been for some timein France. To two | or thiee cents transit duty, asa tax of control, no | reuscnable objections can be made; but beyond this | itis our duty, to rersevere inabolishing them on all | articles in which we are interested. e grand duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin has en- fede. of the President, pursuant to the act of | ‘ongress of May 24, 1828, that it will enjoy by acces- sion to the Hanover treaty. leged to purchase its vessels wherever they could be | had eb ; but, by the terms of this treaty, it is | now restricted in its intercourse with us, to the veasela of its build, or thore of the build of the United States, by which our ma builders will be benefitted. Still, it appreciated the liberal spirit manifested by our govern- mnent, and consented to reciprocate it, by bestowing upon usevery thing commercially at its disporal. ‘The work of negotiating the proper kind of commer- cial treaties, under the auspices of Mr. Buchanan, is now fishy commenced. and wo trast (as we believe) that it will be prosecuted, until every nation is forced toact in that true spirit of generosity displayed by Hanover, Oldenburg, and Mecklenburg-Swhwerin. We desire to see entire freedom in navigation extended to all foreign States; but where there is inequality in size, and in commercial eperations, we should exact relaxa- tion in import duties upon our products. Itis not easy to see upon what principle any German State can justify itself in persisting to collect $3 33 duty on the 100 pounds of our tobacco, when adjoining Statesonly levy 70 cents. If the habits of the people of each were rent with respect to its use, there would be a sort of excuse, though hardly a justifica tion for continuing this exorbitant tax. But the peo- le throughout Germany derive as much enjoyment m ths pipe as do the subjects of Meckienburg- Schwerin, and,in fact, consider it indispensable in a great degree to their very existence. The grand duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin contains two sea-ports, Rostock and Wismar. It is a fertile country, containing 229 geographical square miles, and akout 550,000 inhabitants, who are in a better condi- tion than any in Europe. Its annual export of corn, when the crop is an average one, amounts to 2,000,000 bushels. The a, Grand Duke isa nephew of the Em- of ia, of the King of Prussia, and of the uchess d’Orleans. He is about twenty-four years of age, has been a great trayeller, is genezous in his senti- ‘ments. and uncommonly intelligent for his years. His views of political economy are the more creditable to him on account of the relation he bears tothe sove- veigns of Russia and Prue-ta, and his near location ti thelr capitals, earoe oe BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

[From the New Orleans Delta, July 28.} The intelligence from Guanajuato is of no particular importan: On the 12th, the trocps of Bustamente entered and occupied the village of Valenciana, after a painful march by a route which presented many dif- ficulties to the transportation of artillery. The insur- gents made some show of resistance to the march of the government forces; but it does not appear that any harm was done on either side to “ man or beast.” A private letter states that Jarauta and Negrete fied pre- citately from Valenciana on the approach of Busta- mente. A party of dragoons were sent in pursuit of the fugitives, but, of course, did not succeed in over- taking them. On the 14th, the government forces were entrenched at Valenciana and Mellado, and the two hostile bodies were quietly watching each other Pro- visions were every day becoming scarcer and dearer, which, according to the Monitor, rendered more despe- rate the situation of the besieged in Guanajuato.

Much alarm existed in the State of Queretaro on account of the rumored suc- cusres of the insurgents. The State of Guatemala has declared an amnesty for the past, and security for the future, to all who have endeavored to overturn the government. A large number of the citizens of Vera Cruz had petitioned Congress to enact a statute de- claring Paredes at outlaw. Robberies between Vera Cruz and the city of Mexico were becoming so frequent and audacious, that the Monitor insists that the per- petrators should be shot as fast as detected. The trial of the notorious robber, Roque Miranda, began on the 18th, before Gabriel Gomez dela Pena. The govern- ment still complains of the remissness of Bustamente in Leder penehats advices of his movements. The citi- zens of the capital are subscribing for the relief of the Yucatecos, ore than $1600 had been raised for that purpose on the 16th. The Monitor states that of the three millions of dollars received from the United States, only one million remains in the treasury, and calls ee, the Treasury Department to account for the disbursement of the two millions. The elections in the department of Vera Cruz resulted as follews : For President, Herrera; for Senators, Pedro José Eche- verria, Juan F, Barcena; for Deputies, Ramcn Munoz y Munoz, Zarate, José Miguel Bringas, Ramon Nunez Jauregni and Francisco Uarbajal.

[From the New Orleans Picayune, 28th July.) ‘We see no mention in the papers of the resignation of General Arista, as Secretary of War, fee cyte here some days since.

A platform was erected in the Garden, about which not less than six thousand people assembled. At half- past 8 o'clock, Mr. Michael T.

As soon Chairman an which rupt government, and the fellow countrymen to put England down. to talk as to act. I can also tell you that every man who came here is determined to act as one man. ‘There are no longer any divisions amongst us.

Well,we have como here to serve Ire- land, and to sympathise with her martyrs; and she needs all our sympathy and assistance. She no longer looks for repeal. She is determined to establish a glorious republic, such as we now live under. Let us, then, make one grand rally to-night, and the God of’ battles will lend them on to victory, Mr. O'Connor then reviewed the system | | oflandlordism in Ireland, and attributed a great deal triends of the cause of Ireland, made their appear- | ance, when a general shout went up, and the place provided for the press was besieged. As soon as order could be restored, John McKeon, [sq., pro- posed Robert Emmett as chairman, which was re- ceived and responded to with the greatest enthusi- asm. By this time there were thirty or forty thou- sand persons present, thousands of whom were obliged to remain in the street, the garden being too small to contain all who were present. was made for a meeting in the garden, as it would be impossible for the spacious hall to hold one- tenth part of the people who had assembled, among whom were quite a number of the daughters of Ireland, and whose presence excited the greatest possible applause. An attempt was made to restore order, that the chairman EnIERE state the object of the meeting; but the press from prea that it. was impossible to proceed until they ad fully satisfied themselves with cheering. Mr. Emmet rore, and after considerable effort to restore order, said:—Fellow citizens, we have assembled for two purposes; the first of which, the ratification of the union of the friends of Ireland in New York, is a minor consideration; but, agreeably to promis have to tell you that there is now a perfect fraterni zation of the friends of Ireland. We desire your ap- probation, We hope you are satisfied we shall go on prosperously in the cause of Ireland. Are. you satis- fied? (Cries of “ Yes,’ “ Yes,’ from every part of the crowd.) The other object is to obtain aid for Ireland. without was so | of the miseries of the Irish people to that iniquitous system ; but if the st :aggle of the Irish people was successful, that system would be swept away, and the people of Ireland would be like those of Switzerland— roprietors of the soil. Great as the iniquity of the english rulo in Ireland was, the system of landlordism was the original sin of that vile government : it was the curse of both England and Ireland. The landlord class were the murderers of the people in both coun- tries ; but we shall now meet them in the battle-field, and sweep them from the face of the earth.

A call | You are aware that a Provisional Committee existed, | in whose hands all the money received was placsd, and who have acted most nobly, without regard to nation or party, that Irishmon might have aw opportunity to contribute to the necessities of their country. That committee was not saps enough. It was necessary that a meeting should be called and the proper at- Yangements agreed upon, and that thing has been done. A body has been formed for the purpose of facilitating the work, and that body has been termed the directory, who will most fully carry out the wishes of Irishmen. The name is the same as that held by the committee in the struggle of “98, He here read the names of the directory, ded by his own.— He continued:—The emergency¥s one which demands that I should announce my own name first, because it is the wish of my countrymen, though there are others whore names would be better than my own. But the post has been assigned to me, and I would it were a post of danger, (Great cheering.) In that directory there are three O’Conners.a name which was conspicuous in the rebellion of '98, and it is necessary that that num- ber of O'Connors should be on the list, We are in di- reet communication with the leading men in the move- ments of Ireland, and will be governed by their desire in the fund already raised, and that which will be raised The crisis is approaching fast and all the aid that can possibly be rendered, is now wanted. Are you satisfied? (Yes, yes.) Then, let us go on and see who can be of the greatest iservice to his forlorn country in this, her hour of need. Are you favorable to the gentlemen of the directory? if s0, say aye, (Aye, aye.) Then it is the unanimous choice oft Irich of the city. I have related to you the ob- jects of the meeting, and hope you will sanction them. "The time for speaking has gone by ; action is nece sary. We want your money to-night. Money is need- ed now. The 8th of August was the day when the rising of the people was anticipated ; and this is the 7th, the very eve of the crisis—a crisis which will either anni- hilate the Irish race, or restore them to their position among the nations of the earth. War is the cry, and war may it be, tothe knife. We want your money, and I trust you will give all you can, and give every one an opportunity to come up and give over their sub- scriptions. Here he was interrupted by the tramp of men and the sound of music. The Young Friends of Ireland appeared, and forcing foes way into the room, a shout rent th an eagle, pretes upon a branch of shamrock. As soon as that appeared, the shouts were deafening, and the crowd rushed upon the itand, throwing reporters, ta- bles, and every! ing that came in their way, in every direction. band continued playing the “ Bould Soldier Boy.”’ which filled the crowd with such enthusiasm, that all speaking for the time had to be suspended. Order having been again partially restored, the chairman presented to the people, Martin O'FLAnen - ty, @ young Irish patriot, who had just arrived in the country. Heeaid: My friends, without the charge of affectation, I may say, that my position towards my country, af this time, isan important one.

My friend, Thomas Meagher, (at the men- tion ot that name, another shout more terrific than al iven,) intended to visit this country, but is now lying in prison—but for that, he would have been here to speak to you to-night. The English government had to resort to his arrest to prevent his coming among you, that the sweet eloquence of his voice might not swell the spirit which is; already abroad among you. (Here the Smith O’Brien Club, of the 4th ward, ent , which caused another scene of confusion and cheering.) He continued—Ireland will maintain her independence. There was one glorious epoch in the of the recent movements of Ire- land—that moment when she determined to strike for liberty or diein the struggle. Here the enthusiasm became so great that it was ey for Mr. O'Flaherty to proceed, and he sat lown. Micuast O'Connor, president of the Young Friends of Ireland, rose and stated that there was a mutual agreementemong all the Irishmen, and there would now be unity. Horace Greecev rose and said: In risin; citizens, to move the resolutions whic! agreed upon by the directory of the fri I shall not oecupy your time in 6 re that to-morrow is the da; ‘homas Meagher, Devin, Rile; others; and if a jury is to be packed against them, the people of Ire- land will rise and protest against such a proceeding. ‘Those jurors are to be the mere instruments in the hands of t! to convict these men.

Let them think upon. this, and then say whether it is Mooney and O'Connor that is brutal. Mr. O'Connor continued to speak at some length, and concluded by stating that thore were three thousand men now well armed and equipped, ready to march into Canada, where they would be joined by fifty thousand of ‘the patriots of that country, the yery moment the struggle was commenced in Irolond. Jonn McKeon next addressed the meeting. He said: —Fellow citizens—We have met here to-night under the most gratifying circumstances, Whatever ditfer- ence of opinion may have heretofore existed between us, there ix no longer any differonce of opinion. Union never was more necessary, It {s particularly necessary that we should be united in presenting ourselves to the people of this country, in order to give countenanee, and to strengthen the people of Ireland, inthe coming crisis; fori have it from the best authority, that the mest desperate strzggle will be made, and that before long; and in that struggle you will have a duty to per- form, and ¢o will every man who pretends to be the friend of Ireland Let us, therefore, in the face of the nation, pledge ourselves to stand by her in this impend- ing struggle, and to do all in our power. to bring it to a glorious termination. The British govern- ment dread us, and are watehing every move- ment we make here. But I tell that government we defy them, because we will keep within the limit of the laws. How then are we to serve Ireland? I will tell you. It is by sending them the sinews of war. And now, | ask, is there a man here that would not give a day’s work for the liberation of Ireland? (A thousand voices: “Yes, six days’ work.”) But this is not the time fortalk. 1 told you the iast time I addresred you, that the talking part was done, and that the time for action had arrived. Come forward, then, and give all you can ; and fervently hope that the time is not far-off, when you will receive a glorious return in the news of the freedom of your long op- ressed country, and the downfall of ber oppressors. ir. MeKeon, upon sitting down, was loudly cheered. Some other speeches were made, after which $10, $5, $3and $2 bills came in in hatfuis, Police Inte! nce, Before Justice Timpson.—The police office, yester- day morning, resented quite a lively appearance, ex- hibiting @ motley group, whites and blacks, arranged along on benches, anxiously awaiting the decision of the learned Justice on the charges made against them. In one corner of the court was seated Josiah. Stanton, Catherine Jeffrey, and Caatherine Anderson, who stood en with robbing Alexander Miller of $35, while in the premises No. 274 Water street, the night previous. Next to them sat seven other female prostitutes, inmates of the same house, who were all arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the lar- ceny. These women were certainly some of the belles of Water, and somewhat the worse for rum and hard treatment, bearing marks of violence—some with black eyes, broken noses, patched lips, and bruised arms. All these miserable leo ing creatures were locked up by the Justice in order te come at the real thief. Amongst this interesting group of Water street nymphs, was a genteelly dressed young man, who gave his name as John C. Johnson, who was brought in by one of the Third Ward policemen, on a chi of being drunk and disorderly in Broadway, bearing the marks of a spree on the forehead, where he evidently had run against the policeman’s olub, or got foul of a lamp- st. On being brought before the Justice, he begged ard to be let off, pleading his first offence, and the effects of bad company, in visiting the Broadway oyster cellars, &c , which, as the magistrate observed, are making bonds of one-half of the young men in the city. Justice, on hearing his story, remarked that as it was the first time he had been before him, he would allow him to (3 this time, but if he ever was brought in again, he should certainly put the whole amount of punishment on him, e next pri- soners were three boys, porsessing anything but honest ooks, Cg themselves Lewis Hubble, Edward M’Grath, and Timothy M’Carty, who were caught by officers Cory and Riley, of the 2d ward police, on Sunday afternoon, stealing bocts and shoes, trom the store No. 225 Pearl street, corncr of Platt street, occupied by Mr. Andrew D. Gale. Tha cfficers stated to the magistrates that they watched these boys, together with several others, very busily on- gaged at the basement window of the store, which was secured in front with iron bars; but the young scamps had armed themselves with a long stick, at the end of which was an iron hook. They broke a pane of glass, and with this stick wi hooking out through the broken gla+s the boots and shoes that laid in their reach on the counter. They had already hooked out six pair, when the officers de- teoted them in the act, catching three of the boys, and recovering two pair ofthe boots. Tho others were car- tied off by the boys who escaped. The magistrate lock- ed all three up in the Tombs for tri Goward on the Tapis again —Officer Paterson, of the lower police, arrested yesterday Isaac It. Goward, the reputed writing master, on a warrant issued by Justice Timpeon, wherein he stands charged with defrauding a young man, green from Ireland,by the name of James Dardis, residin, present at No. 40 Second street, out of $20, under the same old representations. It appears that the young man saw in one of the daily papers the following advertisement 9a ESO —A clerk in a grocery, and two in oods stores; M tovctant teachers.

Then, said Mr. Goward. I will charge you $60, as you must be wel prepared before | can recommend you to a goed situa- tion. Finding, however, that the young man had not he was to p him, and procure him a good situa- tion in two weeks. ‘This promise, like many others, Mr. Goward omitted to fuldl, but merely obtained the $20, as the ang man alleges, by false representations, thereby defrauding him out of his money. Upon the officer bringing Mr. Goward before the magistrate, he became alarmed, and refunded the $20, which was handed to Mr. Stewart, the property clerk, for safe keeping; and the magistrate held him to bail in the sum of $300, to answer the charge. Robbed While Napping.—We noticed under this head, in yesterday's Herald, the arrest of « young woman called ‘Traeey, on a charge of robbing a sailor, called Joseph Campbell of $32, while in a house at No. 274 Water street. The complainant in this case, is not Joseph Campbell belonging to the New York Volunteers, but a sailor of the same name.

ERS ec NN WNenceerenaettins® TWO CENTS. Symrroms or a Riot.—At Philadelphia, on Sa- | turday afternoon, a scene of excitement occu on the whart, growing out of the following cir- cumstances. A French family, recently arrived at New York from the island of Guadaloy whence they had fled from the disturbances tha | threatened to overwhelm the population, and with them came four colored females and one male in the capacity of domestics. They "were all bora free with the exception of one female, and she had been manumitted by her master, in whose family she was raised, previous to, the decree of the French republic, declaring all the slaves in their colonies to be free, Some difficulty occurred while the party were in New York with the abo- litionists there, and one of the colored women was carried offand confined, as she says, ina cave or some secret place underground, from which she managed to escape, ost took refuge at the boarding house from which she had been enticed. On Saturday morning the French family and their attendants came on to this city, with the intention of proceeding to Emmetsburg, Maryland, where they intend settling. The abolitionists here, it is sa.d, were informed of the movement through the telegraph, and a crowd of colored persons had as- sembled by the time the party had removed them- | selves and baggage on board the Ericsson steam- | boat bound for Baltimore. The caytain of the boat, becoming alarmed at the threatening appear- | ance of the crowd, advised some of the police to | remove them to the Baltimore steamboat, which would start in a short time; and accordingly the whole party were transterred to Dock street | wharf. The crowd, nothing daunted, followed | them, and their boldness increasing in conse- | quence of their accession of numbers, they would have seized upon the objects of their mistaken be- | nevolence, had they not been resisted by the | officers in attendance. The confusion and noise | occasioned by the mob in their interference with the movements of these strangers greatly fright- ened the colored women, and piel them to cling to the French gentlemen of the party for protection. The latter asserted that their servants were not slaves, that they were at liberty to go at once if they chose; but on their part the servants declared they would rather die than desert their friends One or two of the women had infants at their breasts, children belonging to the family in which they were raised, and to whom iat had been much attached. The efforts of the philanthropists were, however, unavailing, and the boat pushed off from the wharf with the party on board, a few minutes after the regular time. A writ of habeas corpus had been obtained, directed to the captain of the Eriesson boat, but by the time the officer reached Chesnut street wharf the whole party were safely lodged on board the other boat, so that the document was useless... One of the colored’ men composing the crowd wasarrested for inciting to riot, and held to bail by the Mayor.--Phia. Ledger. x Factory Rrors.—Yesterday our sister city, Allegheny, was the scene of another of those factory riots which rendered her some- what notorious two years ago. Eyer since the first of July, when the “Ten Hour Law,” as it is called, went into operation, the cotton factories in that city have been standing idle, the operatives, as they have a right to do, standing out for the ten hours, and the factory proprietors, asserting their inability, on the ten hour system, to compete with eastern mills which work tweive hours. A portion of the hands are willing to go to work, at the old time, and had entered into a contract so to do, as the law provides, and yesterday (Monday) morn- ing, the Penn factory was started with a respecta- ble number of hands, though not full. Those of the operatives favorable to Standing out, together with a crowd of men and boys not connected with the factories, gathered around the mill, and throughout the forenoon contented themselves with no further demonstrations than the throwing of a stone through the windows occasionally, anc shouting and hooting at those within. They were waiting for the dinner hour to arrive, when they expected the hands working would go home to dine, as usual. But in this they were mistaken They had brougnt their dinners wtth them, and when the factory stopped, the doors were not opened, and no one came out. The fury of the rioters then broke loose, and an attack was made on the fence, both inthe rear of tae building on Isabella street, and on the river front. The fence soon gave way, when the crowd rushed into the yard, and commenced an attack upon the doors with axes and poles. One of the doors soon yield- ed to the blows of the infuriated Amazons, and the rioters carned the factory by storm. All the otherdoors were immediately thrown open, and the building was soon filled with the rioters, who commenced throwing out of the windows the dinners of the work hands, together with bobbins, &c. Through the exeriions of some men who had influence with the attacking party, a line was formed, and the hands who had been at work were permitted to pass out, amidst the shouts, and jeers, and scofis of the rioters. Having thus ‘succeeded in their object, by putting a stop to wen in the mull, the rioters retired to the streets again, where they hung around the mill the most of the after- noon, regaled with an occasional harrangue by their leaders, and one or more fights. ThedMayor of the city and police, and the Sheriff of the coun- ty, with his posse, were present, but were wholly unable to protect the property, or to prevent the rioters from obtaining entrance. We regret to hear that Mr. Logan, one of the proprietors of the mill, was badly injured by a cut or blow in the face; and that Mr. Weigley, one of the mayor's police, was quite seriously injured by blows, and cuts with knives. The windows in the east end of the building are pretty badly shattered, and we understand, some warps, c., were cut. The machinery, we believe is not Ep pb except bi the stones, rotten eggs, &c., which came through the windows.—Ptttsburg Gazette. Amone THE Missing .-Since the sudden departure from this city of Messrs. Wright, Hegeman, Xc., absquatulations have become quite fashionable in Brooklyn, especially among some of the mercan- tile fraternity in the vicinity of the South Ferry, An intense sensation has been created in that neigh- borhood during the present week, in consequence of its being discovered that the firm of Lewis and Stewart, extensively engaged in the arocery and ship chandlery business, and generally believed to be possessed of considerable capital, had hastily left their establishment and gone to parts unknown. Isarah Lewis, jr., the principal partner in the con- cern, was formerly in business in New York, and some time ago retired, as was supposed, with a competency. At all events he secured the confi- dence of several large wholesale houses, and was thereby enabled to obtain an almost unlimited credit. It is rumored that he has availed himself of these advantages of procuring frgm various sources goods to the amount of several thousand dollars, and that to evade payment of obligations thus centracted he and his _co-partner had fled the. city. Another individual, in a different branch of business, in the same vicinity, has, it is said, also, suddenly made himself scarce within few days past, considerably involved in debt.
