You are aware that the Pope protested against thy late occupation of Ferrera by the Austrian troops. The following official address has been sent to the Pope by M. Weesenberg, our Minister of Foreign | Affairs :-— “ "The undersigned, Minister ef Foreign Affairs of | H. I.

Far, however, from employing against them rigorous Jaws of war, and influenced only by the voice of ‘humanity, and observant of the respect he has always entertained for the Holy Father, the Aus- trian government bas treated these armed lead- ers on an equal focting with the regular troops of the enemy. Not only bas this been the case, Dut Piedmontese troops bave mixed with the Papal garrison in Ferrara, promising Piedmontese re-inforoe- ‘ments. This, added tothe fact, that the Austrian gi rison at Ferrara, weake1ed by sickness, bad to engage ‘in contentions to procure subsistence, offered a very critical situation, Consequently, the General-in-Chi ‘found it necessary to tuke mrasures to secure the Astence of the garrison. With this view, orders were given to the troops to go to Ferrara to re-establish the ‘communication with this gurrison, which had been in- terrupted; to provision the garrison and make a re- ceonnoisance of the real state of affairs, The short stay of this force at Feri which this general execute: expedition had nothing hostile ¢ undersigned, ‘therefore, hopes H.

Wartacuia, Aug. 22, 1848, The Divan has decidedly recognised our new govern- ment; and the Turkish commissioner, Suleiman Pacha, entered Bucharest on the 20th, when he put himself in communication with the new authorities. On the other hand, Rus hi declared to the Porte, that she must not recognise the new order of things, and that within eight days the old course of affairs must be re-ertabliehed in Wallachia, In of refusal, Russia is herseif disposed to interv: protective power. ‘This injunction, coming at such moment, is not without importance, not only as it may lead to ap armed intervention by Russia, but also as it may destroy the Jittle influence Turkey now has in the Danubian provinors, It is probably a commence- ment by Russia to carry out the views she has long entertained as to these province: The Effect of the ly Ih Meeth n America on the London Editors. [From the Lendon Chronicie, September 7.] Has it ever occurred to Mr. John. O'Connell and “my dear Ray,” to try an American tour? We think it would poy. Now that business is slack in Dublin, and the Burgh. quay shop closed for want of customers, they would surely do well to have something to be ing on with; and, from all that we seein the New York journals, of the temper of the Transatlantic Celts, We are convinced they might make a really good thing of it. We assure these gentlemen, the opening is worth being looked after. The patriots over the water seem in the finest mood for voluntary contribu- tions, The meetings of the ‘devoted sons of Erin’? are described as “tremendous;” the cheers are ‘“voci- ferous and deafening; ‘he excitement is “terrific,” and the gullibility unbounded. According to the most prosaic of the accounts we have seen, the money is coming in “by bandfulx;”” and a poetically-minded editor, writing on the 22d ult., under the immediate inspiration of a triad of monster meetings held simule taneously on the previous evening, can only compare the influx of cash to a “shower of hail.’ Seven thou- sand dollars, we are informed, were raised in the course of that one night, for no earthly purpose cx- cept that of “promoting the cause of Ireland ” Really, thle is too good a thing to mi Why should the Em- metts, the Sheas, the O’Connors, the Ryans, and the M’Graths, of the New York St. Giles’s, have a monopo- ly of sosplendid a connection, especially in the pre- sent depressed state of the repeal trade at home? It is possible, indeed, that Liberator II and‘ my doar Ray” may hesitate as to the commercial prudence of the venture, tempting though it is. They may ap- rehend that, as the thing is undoubtedly too good to fast, the harvest may be over before they can reach the scene of operations. - We beg to say that such is not our impression. Certainly, we should advise prompti- tude; but we think there ie no immediate cause for skeptical uneasiness. Judging from the intelligence contained in the New York Herald of the above-men- tioned date, we should say the excitement will last quite long enough to repay a timely expedition. The mere fact of the rebellion having ended betore it began, and of there being, consequently, at this moment, no “ eause of Ireland” to be *‘promoted,’’ wili not create the smallest difficulty; for, luckily, this fact has been distinctly stated in al the English journals,and the New York Milesians make @ peint of resolutely disbe- lieving everything that comes to them from that tainted source. Up to the date of the last accounts, they were all as full as they could hold of the mythus of “the Battle of Slievenamon’’ (the “Lexington or Bunker Hillof the trish Revolution”) at which “ six thousand Saxons had bitten the dust? Of course, & “mercenary and corrupt British * press” had weighty reasons for * distorting the real facts of the case,” and placing the story of the Bailingarry affray “in the best possible light for the ritish government;” but all that, * to use the words of an eminent English jurist,”’ (Lord Denman must feel himself flattered) “ might be called a mockery, a delusion, and a snare.” ‘The fol- lowing little morceau. from the speech of the chairman at one of the mestings of the 2lst ult , will explain ex- actly how the matter stands :— “ Every man capable of forming an opinion on the matter, must be perfectly well aware that there had been no crushing, and no defeat. (Cheers.) Let them take it at the worst, there was no one but must admit, tha it showed the people were up and ready to fight for their own, or to die fn the attempt. (Cheers): Yer it showed they were ready to die for their own; (renewed cheering) and this information it was im- possible to distort or deny. The directory, however, had received additional injormation, and from the au- thority of the quarter whence it had been communi- cated to them, he had every reason to believe in its authenticity. He referred to the letter which had appeared that morning in the Tribune. (Tremendous cheers, which were aguin and again renewed) This letter showed, that while every means of obtaining ccrrect information had been cut off by the stifling of the popular prers, and the suppression of the organs of the people—that notwithstanding all the vigilance | that had been exercited by the government—owing to the cunning proceedings that bad been taken—this | letter, theugh evidently bearing the marks of having | been opened in the post office, had escaped their vigi- lance, and commupicated information which it was their wish and their interest to bave entirely with. held, (Cheers,) Ou tbat statement they might place the most implicit reliance, (Renewed cheering. From that statement it would appear that there had been a battle. (Tremendous cheers.) Yes, a battle had been fought by the Irish people—(tremendous ebeers)—a battle had been fought between the Irish people and the Pritish forces, and in that battle the irish people bad been vietorious, [For several minutes the most tremendous cheering, waving of hats and handkercbiefs, followed this announcement. It is im- | possible to describe the terrific excitement.”’] Now here, we say, is a mine that cannot fail of handsomely paying the costs of working.

There are many rumors afloat stating that Jenny Lind, the Swedish Nightingale, will not return to this country next year ; but we have it trom very good au- thority that she will sing one more season. and then retire from public life altogether ; that, at least. is her present intention.

The renovation of the Adelphi is proceedingrapidly ; no important alterations will take place in the audience part of the house. except the reservation of a row of stalls in the front of the pit, and the re-construction, vpon an improved principle. of the stairs leading to the private boxes, which will also communicate with the stalls, by which accees to them will be rendered much more convenient than it has hitherto been. ‘The stage will be improved by the removal of two pro- jecting walls which interfered with the management of the scenery.

Mr, and Mrs. Kecley’s engagement at Marylebone continued to prove highly advantageous to the esta- blishment, not only from the celebrity of these artistes, but from the circumstance of having it in their power to play inal! the pieces that were most popular during their management of the Lyceum.

Several years ago dramatic performances at the minor theatres in London, were restricted by the monopoly of the licensed houres to dancing and singing ; melo- dramas were, however, represented ; but instead of spoken dialogue, scrolls of white calico were displayed, upon which the important movements of the drama were legibly inscribed for the information of the au- dience. Now, it so happened that the property man at Astley’s, who has the care of these scrolls. took a fancy to increase his stock of linen by having them manu- factured into shirta. The embezzlement, however, was not dissovered until one night when there was an alarm of fire in the theatre; the property man, who slept on the premises, leaped out of bed, and rushed into the street in his shirt, upon which the assembled crowd read with amazement inscribed on the back. “ Defend the citadel | and in frent, ** No surrender !”’ A new drama. entitled “ Time Tries All,’ was pro- duced at the Olympic Theatre, London, on the 4th net , with complete success, the principal characters being enacted by Mrs. Stirling and Mr. Leigh Murray. ‘The drame is from the pen of a Mr. Courtney.

That which is sure to please. admired by all, and can be used upow all articles of a lady's toilette,—is lace, Indeed, there is scarcely any pretty costume but is indebted to this elegant trimming nor does a ludy feel perfectly distengue without the aid of this light and graceful ornament. Full dress, promenade, and even morning costumes are trimmed with it; ani the marriage corbeil/es dieplay a profusion of this u ful as well as recherché artic! ‘We must not omit to mention the beautiful manfilles sévellenn: are suitable for all seasons and all modes, adapted to every taste. and should form @ part of every lady's toilette. The marriage corbville is not complete with- out this mantille, which unites the size of the shawl with the grace of the scarf and the coquetry of the veil, and is equally suitable for either of these grace- ful appendages to the toilette ‘There are come very charming and new patterns in silks, for redingotes and déjeuner dresses. Dinner dresses of muslin, and embroidered organdies, with flounces,some embroidered in colors, others in white, with lace intermixed, are much sought for. For morn- ivg promenade, robes of coutil. foulard, toile de Nor- wee, or poil de chevre, embroidered in crochet or soutaches in different shades, are worn. ‘To give the dresses of barége a richer and heavier appearance, they are lined with a bright pink or cerise gave or muslin, We bave seen some of this descrip- tion, the bardges being a white ground in Turkish de- signs, pompadour, or in stripes. This lining, inde- pendent of the consistency it gives to the dress, pro- duces a soft and warming effect, which is very pretty. Among the dresses preparing to be worn at Baden we raw some charming redingotes in lilac taffetas, bleu de France, and English green, trimmed with black lace, placed en revers upon the front of tho skirt and either side of the body, which is open, allowing a piece of the silk to be seen instead of chemisette, and trimmed with Jase jn rose across the front.

The shoes of the fame spade as the dress are a mark of good tagte in the wearer, We have noticed at a fete given lately. two young ladies dressed in white linon dresses, trimmed with bouillonnés of the same, ascending to the knee, and covering a berthe and short sleeves.

Tux City Yestepay.—Yesterday was indeed a wel- come day, though it brought with it rain and storm. The clouds which had so long lowered gave out a plen- tiful ra; and the parched earth again satiated its thirst. About seven o'clock in the morning therain poured in torrente, whieh, however, did not long con- tinue, but during the day there were many showers, and not once was the sun visible. The city was re- markably quiet, and but few persons were in the streets. The liquor stores were, as usual, half open, and filled with the devotees of Bacchus. Atthe corner of Houston and Mulberry streets, in the afternoon, was a young woman who had been indulging rather freely in the sparkling draught. Her whole contour was rather respectably looking, with auburn hair, and large blue eyes, and a mouth, as it then looked, adini- rably adapted to taking grog. She descanted freely on the subject of religion, and standing immediately in front of the convent, doubtless thought she was in- spired by the spirit; as she was becoming rather up. roarious, one of the city guardians approached her, and demanded her immediate withdrawal, under penalty of a lock up. To this she demurred, and lavished ao roiusion of hard names upon him who disturbed the appy stute of her mind She was then moved off, and. it is probable, found lodging in an apartment where she could look through the gratings ather leisure. In Canal street, near OTe of Laight street, a huge pile of earth reared its summit about eight feet above the cowmon level, and which would have lookedas wellin some more private place. Broadway was quiet. The noise of the rattling wheels was hushed, except when an occasional hackney coach would pass, the driver of which kepta good look out for whatever, in the shape of patronage, he might catch. The lower section of the city was unusually still, and the Battery was deso- late. Around the Custom House, where daily may be seen the hungry seekers for office,in the present dis- turbed state of political organization, not a person was to be seen, But the inclemency of the weather did not deter the myriads of news venders from their usual work. and in the heaviest of the rain prosecuted their labor with unabated zeal, While the shades of night were gathering the rain began again to fall heavily, and the day clored as gloomily as it begun. The night was dark and unpleasant, and gave but little hope for an unclouded and pleasant morrow. Maneuixe, Dyixe any Wasitenc.—In no city in the country, are these professions, blended together as they are so extensively carried onas in New York, Nota street scarcely in the whole city where dying is not fancitully dene, and they do not profess to keep ertablicbmenis for dyeing, but the real dying. Many of the signs of th® businers, say it is done expedi- tiourly, and mangling always precedes this kind of change. Should any become tired of lifw, it is only ne- cestary to call upon one of these sagacious individuals, and if they do am their signs beapeak, one may dye in the fancy way, and there are plenty convenient who are glad to undertake the finishing job. In Centre street there is an establishment which does away with the dying.and substitutes living in its stead. It is kept im @ basement, and the sign over the dooi reads thus Bourdin an Waishin,an goin out tu du das wurk dun her.’ This is certainly one of the most con- venient establishments in the city, They not only provide the sustenance necessary for the healthy con- dition of the alimentary functions, but wash the outer | covering of the body, and go out to work in the cellar at the same time. They seem to be a kind of sub- | terranean, ubiquitous sut of beings, adapted te the wants and demands of all But the first description of individuals speak rather piainly of their busine: It ie a considerable eacrifice to die in the natural way after having lived to a good old age. but the idea of being mangled before that period arrives, is something the thought of which alone is revolting. Those who wish to iake w trip to the other country, need only step into one of there establichments, and they can die in plain or fancy style, which ever best suits them, but the old fashioned, plain way. seems best. Distressine Occurnence,—The steward of the ship Rajah, lying at the foot of Dover street, ast River, bound to New Orleans and ready for sea, while walk- ing the deck, about 7 o'clock last evening, heard the cries of * man overboard.’? He went immediately to the side of the versel, and could discover. though mot netly, three persons, two men and one child, struggling im the water close alongside, With the aid of others, he succecded in resouing the child. owing to the darkness which prevailed, their eflorta to rave the men were fruitless, The body of one was picked up shortly after. the other was not found The child, it is said cannot give any account of the affair, nor can any one else; but it is quite certain they were steerage parsengers who had taken passage in the Rajah for New Orleans.

News. Although you may lave heard of the fights | which we had with the Mexicans since December last, I think it as well to mention them, leaving it discretionary with you to publish them or net. The first occurred at San Antonio, in rescuing | two midshipmen, Messrs. Dancan, aon of the | Hon. M. Duncan, late M. C. of Ohio, and Willey, Sergeant Scallan, three marines, one sailor, | and some others, in the whole about twenty, com- prised our force, and we beat the greasers hand- somely; killing three, wounding others, and put- ting the remainder to flight. The nuinber of Mexicans engaged was forty, or more: I must mention an incident that occurred. One of our officers, Captain Steele, when re- connoitering, was very near being killed; a shot was fired at him from a cuartel close by, and the ball penetrated his saddle, and lodged inthe shoulder of it, doing no other damage. Thisan- noyed him exceedingly, and he directed his men to dismount and rally under cover of a church close by. White rallying, Lieutenant Halleck, of the Marine Corps, came up, and he was requested to stepgout and aseertain the best plan of assault- ing and,taking the cuartel. The balls flew so thick around him that he_ was unable to do so. “Come boys, then,” said Capt. S., “come on!” be we went straightinto the cuartel. We routed them. In an ambuscade on our return, our force dis- mounted and put a party of Mexicans to flight, and captured their captain, who was severely wounded. We then returned to our quarters,— leaving behind us but one man, Sergeant Thomas M. Hipwood, of Company B, who was instantly | killed in charging the cuartel—having ridden 120 to 140 miles, in twenty-eight hours. We have received very exciting news from Up- per California—gold has been discovered there in great quantities, and it?s said that one man got $1,500 worth inten days. The place in which it was found 1s three hundred miles east of San Francisco, and 1s thirty miles square. Every one is going there—even Uncle Sam’s troops. Some forty men of Company C, stationed at Sonoma, went in, and laying down. their arms, saying they had no further “use for them, marched off to the gold region. Twenty-five deserted from San Francisco barracks, and the Southampton was obliged to sail, as the crew would have deserted likewise. There are twenty-five hundred persons there now, and the number will be increased one thousand more when this regiment is disbanded. The Mormons have the police establishment of the place, and dety Col. Mason and his whole force, to drive them off Crime is very prevalent; and murders are allowed, if they are not very atrocious or cruel. .

They are addi- tional to those received from eur correspondent and published in yesterday’s Herald :— Mr, Aubsey thinks that the first detachment of Gen, Price’s comv-and will reach Independence about the first of October, and the whole military force may be expected to arrive by the 15th.

But, taken in connection. it is a substitution fa all cases of ship- ments of goods from a place other than the country of production cr manufacture, of the current market Value of the place of importation. This inthe legal of the proviso, in connection with the enasting ol The general rule given for the appraisal, is thy market value or wholesale price at time of the purchase, in the principal markets of the place where the goods are im- ported. The exception in, where the goods are the Production of some other country, then the current market value of that country is taken, and in each case add cost and charges, as prescribed in the enacting clause. The cost and charges in both cases are those which have been incurred at the port of shipment. The current market value at the prinaipal markets of the country of production, was doubt- lers regarded by Congress a4 nffording, upon the whole, # fairer sad more uniform moasvre of value than the market value at the place of shipment, and therefore that measure was substituted in-lieu of It, leaving the ocats and charges the same in b>th cases. The principle of this proviso was first incorporated into the provisions of the act of 18: the 5th section (3 U. 8. Laws, p. 739) provided, that to the actual cost of the goods, if purchased, or actual value, if other- wire procured, at the time and place when and where purchased or procured, and to the appraijed vatue, if appraised, shall be added ali chargos exoept insurance, provided, that in all cases where the goods shall have been imported from a country other than t of duction, the apprairers shall value the same where produced or manufactured This ia a simple substitu. tion of one measure of valuation for another; in case the goods were shipped from « country different from that ef production, the costs and charges rematned therame So in respect of the act of 1828 and 1832, (4 U. 8. Laws, p. 273, sec, 8; ib. p. 501, secs 7 and 16.) We find, therefore, no authority for adding the freight of the goods in question, from Canton to London, as part of the charges in fixing the dutiable value. We are also of opinion, that if otherwise, and the freight properly added, the penalty of 20 per cent was not chargeable under the act. The 8th section of the act of 1842 imposes this duty in cases where the appraised value of theigoods imported eball exceed by 10 per ceat, or more, the value as declared in the entry as used in this act of 1846, and of that of 1842; and, indood, in all the revenue acts, meana the value of the goods to be estimated and atcertained by the appraisers, either according to the “actual cost,”’ “ actual value,” or “market value,” ag the case may be, exclusive of obarges. To this value thus ascertained, ch are to be added in making up the dutiuble value—charges are not appraised, but are a-certained and added to the apprairal; this is especially so provided in the 16th section of the act of 1842. It directs the goods to be appraised, and to the value thus ascertained, to add costs and charges. The 8th tection of 1846, the one in question, isto be read in connection with the 16th section of 1842. Inde- pendently of the charge fer freight in thts case, the appraised value of the Canton mattings not only did not exceed the value by ten per cent, as entered at the Custom Houee, but, on the contrary, it was admitted to be correct. The case, therefore, has not arisen which justified the imposition of the twenty per eent witbin the 8th section of the act, 1846 But, upon the other view taken of the case, we think the plaintiffs are entitled to recover back, not only the amount of this penalty, but also the duties charged on the freight from Canton to London, and that judgment should be rendered for the amount of those two sums, with interest from the time of payment.

The duty of thirty per cent was charged under the second sub-division of the second section of the act of 1842 (5 U.S. L., 549), whieh im- poses the rate on all mauufactures of cotton, or of which cotton shall be a component part, not oth wire specified. The plaintiffs insist tho article chargeable under the eighth sub-division of the first rection of that act, which imposes a duty of twenty per cent on “camlets, blankets, coatings, and all other manufactures of goats’ hair or mo- hair.” The goods were entered at the Custom House under the denomination “plush,” and in the invoice, as exhibited at the time of the entry, as “crimson, blue and violet.” They were valued by the go praisers as composed of cotton. linen and mohair, the hair of the goat being known in commerce 8 mohair. It was proved on the trial, by witnesses ac. quainted with the article as importers and venders, or ag eabinet makers who have occasion to use the article im their business, that goods of the same description in all respects, had been imported extensively into the Uni- ted States, prior to the passage of the tariff act of 1842; and that before and since that time, the goods were known in trade and commerce under the name of ‘goats? hair plush,” or “mohair plush,” though they were always composed in part of linen. cotton, or worst- ed.

The entry was made at the custom houre from the origiaal i voice price at wanton accompanying the goods when shipped from that place to London, August 10th, 1846. Thie inveice accompanied the goods on the re-ship- ment from London to the port of New York. On the entry of the goods here, the collector directed the ap- praisers to report charges upon each roll of the mat- ting, and they reported accordingly, to be charged on each $1 50 for freight from Canton to London, making the additional sum of $1,675 upon which duties were chargeable, which at 25 per cent, amounted to $403 50; and it being ola med that the appraised value (includ- ing the addition of charges for freight from Canton to London) exceeded by 10 per cent the valu as, entered at the custom house; a duty of 20 per cent on such amended value was also imposed and charged, by way of penalty under the Sth section of the act of Congress, which amounted to $1,118 20. The aggregate amount of duties, including the | penalty 20 per ‘ent thus charged upon the Santon matting was $2515 95, deducting $133 20 on account of damaged goods; the aggregate amount then | stood at $2,382 75.

The jury found & verdict for the plaintiffs, and also found speci under th vice of the Court, Ist, That the article im question was known in trade, prior to the act of 1842, as “ goats’ hair plush.’ or “ mohair plush,’ composod sometimes of goats’ hair and linen, and sometimes, as in this case, of goats’ hair and cotton; 2d, That there was an article known in trade, prior to the above date, as “‘camlet ang mohair coatings.” composed of goata’ hair and worsted, extensively imported and used in this country; and, 3d, That there was no manufac- tured article of commerce, or fabrig, composed entirely of goats’ bair or mohair, imported¥nto thie country or re, prior to the above date, or since Newson, Justice,—The jury having found that the article in question was Known in commerce prior to the act of 1842. and since under the denomination of ‘ goats’ hair plush,” or ‘mohair plush,” although com- pored partly of cotton, we think a duty of 30 per cent ad valorem, was not properly chargeable under the.act. That provides for this rate of duty ‘on all manufactures of cotton. or of which cotton shall bee component part, not otherwise epecified.”’ The arti- cle under the Gndings of the jury, falis within the ex- ception, It isspecifed in the vighth sub division of the first rection of the act, (5 U.S L., p. 549,) aad the rate of duty fixed at 20 instead of 30 per cent, as fol- lows—-On camlets, blankets, coatings, and all other iy» | manufactures of goats’ hair or mohair,” twenty per cent ad valorem.
