THURSDAY EVENING, September 7, 1843. (Jj Sometime since it was suggested that Bullfighting had never been practiced by the Saxon race. What a whole race has repudiated it would be unreasonable to press upon individuals. The only question then, which can be raised when the animal enters the arena, must relate to the species. On that point no proof is necessary ; testimony in abundance is voluntarily furnished in the late Statesman. As well might one be required to kennel with dogs, as a proof of Domocracy, as to be compelled to re-apond to beastly phrases, any notice of which would be an equal sacrifice. There can be but two inducements for any one exhibiting himself as a Blackguard: one that it is an instinct of his nature, which permits him to appear in no other character, and the other a consciousness that he can in no other way render himself formidable. Men of pure motives can have no sympathy for the one, nor fears for the other. Conscious integrity can laugh at the impoteucy of the wretch who can, as it were, present himself to public gaze in all his native nudity, to offend the eyes of passing delicacy, while we doeply regret the vitiated taste, which can gloat on such depravity with approbation, as a means of promoting on unrighteous cause, or of arrogance to those they causelossly hate. To the public it is perhaps proper to say, that the several amounts stated in the Journal as paid to the State Printer for the years 1835 to 1839 inclusive, are copied from tho official published reports of the Auditor of State, as made to the Legislature from year to year. If they aro not correct it is not the fault of the Journal : a family affair in which it can have no part. Stale Sinnnee. Under this head, the True Democrat, published at Chillicothc, has those remarks : By an official statement of the Auditor of State, it appoars we now have a little short of two millions of Ohio circulating bank paper. It is also supposod that we havo in circulation in this State about 1,000,000 of Indiana bank paper, besides the paper of other States, making in all, about four millions of dollars of circulating money. Tho largest amotintoftaxany government can collect off a people, it is said, cannot exceed one-fourth of the circulating money of that government. Now, if this bo so, the most that can be collected, at the present time, in tax, cannot exceed one million of dollars. But our whole tax, in this State, including county and corporation tax, exceeds two and a half millions of dollars, besides large delinquencies of last year. Hence, with a circulation of four millions, we will bo required to pay two and a half of tax, which will only leave one and a half million for all other purposos. Can this be done? It is a question of gravo consideration. The prospect of an increase of circulation by sale of our wheat crop is less favorablo than in former years, and tho corn being light, too, much must not be expected from the sale of pork the coming winter. Can the taxes bo paid ? anil will the Treasury be ablo to meet all its engagements ? It is said there has been an increase in the amount of canal tolls ; but this increase cannot bo very largo. Many of our friends scum to think that the sky is brightening up; wo wish wo could tliink ao too. A largo class of tho laboring farmers wero never so destitute as at tho present time. The winter was one of uncommon aovority, and when spring came, out of an abundant cop tho farmer had nothing left. Tho season, thus far, has not been favorable ; but still we could rub along but fur this everlasting two and a half millions of tax. Farmers, Laborers, Men or Business, thoso of you who pay taxes, how long shall theso things bo ( lloukln la Ohl.. On this subject, the Zancsville Gazette hns the following remarks There aro now in tho Stato of Ohio ten Banks doing business, besides tho Bank of St. Clair, nominally located in Michigan, but which is controlled by the Smiths at Newark. At its last session tho Legislature passed "an act regulating Banking in Ohio," which provides that fivo of theso ten shall conform to Hie provisions of the said act.after tho 1st of March, 1814 namely! Bank of Xenia, Bank of Wooster, Bank of Norwalk, flank of Sandusky, and Lafayotte Bank of Cincinnati. The charters of two of Iho Banks now doing business, expire on tho 1st of January ncxtj and should the live a-bovo named not continue in operation under the law to which they aro required to conform, we shall, after tho 1st of March, havo but three BanRs of our own in tho whole State, unless there should bo some new ones established at tho ensuing session, or Iho regulations of tho present law be materially modified. JBB Inilrpradral Newsonper. Tho Detroit Free l'ress insinuates that the Advertiser of tho samo city, is going over to Captain Ty-lor becauao it contains a column of Governmout advertising. To this tho Advertiser replies : "We hold John Tyler and the corrupt horde that he liu a-bout him, in as utter contempt as we did before our columns were graced with tho aforesaid long advertisement. Wo ask no favor of Captain Tyler or any of his gang ; and if they choose to sond us advertisements in preference to tho Free Press, they will got no soft soap in return."

"Tho Commonwealth" is the namo of a now paper established atllarrisburgh, Pennsylvania, to sup-port Van Buren and Porter. Its assaults upon tho other "sogmonts" of tho "Democratic" party of that State, are fierce and bold. Alluding to the immense urns paid for Public Printing it says that tho Pennsylvania Reporter newspapor obtained its first printing during tho session of I H J7-8. Up to the winter of 1831 it had drawn ."il,0l Cxi 1 for legislative printing alone.

Mr. Campbell has changed tho publica tion of tins Magazine from Monthly to Semi-monthly. Tho No. for Sept has been on our table fur several days, and in noticing it wo can fully adopt the language of a New York paper, which says Wo havo taken more than one occasion to suy that we consider this one of the very best Magazines that haa ever ap peared in the United States, and the beptemhor number just received, affords us tho opportunity of repeating the opinion. Its selections are made with greater taste, judgment and discrimination from all the standard periodical literature of Great Britain and Ire land, embracing the best articles of tho publications, from which they are repeatedly chosen. In addition to its literary merits, the present number has one of Sartain's most magnificant mezzotints, from Murtin's great painting, "The Return of the Waters." This picture is worth the year's subscription of fivo dollars. Jama M. Campbell, 08 Chesnut street, Philadelphia, is the publisher. Terms $5 per annum. m The Mob til Cleveland. The Horald of Saturday copies the Card of the passengers of the Btcamboat Champion, in reference to tho mobbing of that boat on the 2filh inst, and says One of our resectable citizens has taken pains to inquire into the above disgraceful transaction, and he states that the fuels are theso : On Saturday, the 2dth ult., tho steamer Champion. Capt Ward, came into this port Whilo here, the Muto was arrested tor an assault and battery upon one of tho dray-men of this city. After an examination before a magistrate, the Muto asked leave to plead guilty ; the Magistrate consented, and fined him five dollars, the lowest fine he could assess under the law. Capt Ward then requested tho Magistrate to let a Constable go with him to the Buat and ho would pay the fine and costs to the Constable without further costs ; this also the Magistrate granted.Upon arriving at the Boat, Captain Ward directed the bell to be rung, and tho Bunt to bo cast off. The Constable asked Cupt. Ward if ho did nut intend paying him tho money as he promised ? Ho said " No 1" and then either tho Captain or mate struck the Constablo and jumcd on tho Boat Another Constable came up at this moment, and attempted to get on board, but was beaten oft' by the hands, at tho direction of Captain Ward. Tho crowd on tho dock soeing Captain Ward refuso to pay tho money ho had promised the Magistrato to pay, and seeing ono of the Constables struck, and another beat off in the lawful discharge of his duty by tho orders of Cnp-tain Ward, became excited, and discharged a volley of stones, coals, anil other missiles at the Boat But this was stopped by tho Constables as soon as possi- Die. Tho Boat was not mobbed because sho mns in opposition to tho combination, nnr is tho man who complained of the Mate of the Champion, a runner tor too combination. There is but ono runner tor tho combination in this city, and he was not near tho Champion at the tune, at all. There was no excitement at all against the Champion, for being an independent boat while in port. The excitement was wholly caused by Capt. Word's violuting his word and honor to pay the fine assessed against the Mate, and for beating and maltreating the civil officers of this city, in the discharge of their official duties. We regret the outrage upon tho Boat as much as any one, and agrco with our citizens universally in condemning It; but ju.ti.t. u iltv tnmuii,., r u, city requires us to bIiow to tho public tho truth in regard to mo matter, especially sinco ono or our prints, supported liberally by our citizens, has given an unjust and unfair representation of the case. We repeat to the public, that no such thing as any feeling or any excitement existed in tho minds of the rabblo even against tho steamer Champion, because she was an independent boat, but simply on account of tho abuse of tho civil authorities here by Captain Ward. This, however, hy no means justifies tho mobbing of tho Boat "two wrongs do not mako one right" From the Cincinnati Gazette. The Coming t'ainpnlitn. The notes of preparation aro being heard on both sides in the variuus counties of our State, and it is evident that the contest between the parties, in many of them, will be warm. It is gratifying to witness among our friends a stcatly, indexible purpose, to maintain their ground, and to do what they can to arrest the progress of further destructive legislation. There is no difference of opinion amongst them, as a general rule, as to the courao which ought to bo pursued. They will noi- tlicr quarrel about men, or oilier about measures; but will stand together as brethren, contending for principles upon thu establishment of which depend aliko tho success of tho individual, and the real permanent prosperity of tho country. w hatever could bo iimio ry mo w nigs tney navo done, to rescue our pconlo from tho oppressiveness of an anti-American lir.y. By passing the Tariff, they havo, in part, ro-animated the industry of tho country, secured to it some degreoof steadiness and lilo in all its business relations, and re-established the credit of the nation. It was tins measure, as we believe, which checked the downward tendency of everything. And what do our opponents promise ? While yet tho whole land feels the reverses, which, with all its resources and all its strength, oamo so near prostrating it, what measures of relief do they proposo? A Sub-Treasury and Free Trade ! This is their policy. They would throw the country back upon these exploded notions, and leavoit, with all its industrial pursuits, without the shadow of protection, or of sympathy, from tho very power which was created to uphold and guard its interests I Thii is the sum and substnnco of what they propose. Assured of this, assured, loo, that the Whig policy is the only policy which can restore the steady and vigorous prosperity of the past our friends here, and everywhere, will tight tho good fight with deeper earnestness than they have over ot manifested. What they did in '40, they will do again in '44. True, they have been disappointed. True, they saw, and for a time, wavered as they saw, incisure after measure fail, which they deemed essential to the establishment of a well settled American policy. But the rauspa of this they understand now ; consequently tho feeling la growing, and gathering strength ifuily amour; them, that they must unite again; and when the occasion arrives, hko our brethren of Tennessee, they will enncontruto all their energies to win anuthor triumph tor themselves, anil tur tho coun ty- Tho Prosperl, We are daily enquired of with reference to our prospect of success in this Legislative District at the coming olection.

This done, we need havo no misgivings oa lo tho result C'leitiioril Courier. ItlrUlons. That pretty serioua division exists in tho ranks of our opponents, is notorious divisions, too, not merely as to men and names, but as to important public measures and principles. This, perhaps, augurs well for tho Whig cause; but we should not placo our reliance on those family feuds. They havo deccivod us heretofore. Last year, the war against tbe West Union Resolutions raged with violmce meetings in Clennont denounced Uiem the separation of the hards and softs apoared final and complete Tho II ink Democrats 111 Brown county were open in their declarations thai they would vote for no hard money candidate; and yet they swallowed Sargent and Emery wilAoul prating. Loudon anil W lute, Hit candidates in Brown, were understood to be as thor ough going Bank men, as Hamer himself. Nevertheless, these gentlemen received a hearty support irom tho vory Uemocrata oi uiermooi wno aro now kicking against General McDowell.. The discinline of tho Democratic party U so rigid and exact, that they allow no discontents to mar their elections. However they may quarrel in their meetings, and during the canvass, on the second Tuesduy of October, they come up to the scratch like one man. Malcontents have no permanent standing in the Democratic party they art either whipt in or kicked out. Tho Whigs, therefore, should not depend on these divisions for success they should rely on their own strength, their own activity, and their own vigilance They should prepare for the contest, as if they expected to meet the whole force of the enemy in solid phalanx, and then if divisions should exist they will be ready to take advantage of them ; and if the en- omy is united, they will be prepared to give them the Dest licks in the shop. " ihems our principles." Itiplcy Telegraph, The Whig, of the Union. The National Intelligencer says: Wo are glad to havo the opinion of the Now York Courier and Enquirer in corrobaration of our confidence in the pres ent strength and prospectivo success of the Whig party. Is it not possible thct the candidate ol tne Whig party for the Presidency should not succeed at the ensuing Presidential Election against any candidate whom tho Locofoco party may set up. Our confidence in this result docs not rest upon any supposition of dissention among our opponents, nor upon any calculation of a division of their strength among different candidates. We take it for granted that they will find means to concentrate all their forces upon one candidate. It is only the Whigs that lose elections by throwing away their votes. Fortunately for the chance ot their success, there is no probability of their committing such n blunder in the great contest which is to "come oil'" on the National Course next year, than thore is of their opponents doing bo. Both parties will bring out all their strength; and man to man, and hand to hand, the Whig parly, united and in earnest, cannot but win tho day. Noticing our remark that we do not now doubt, and we never have doubted of this result, the Courier and Enquirer expresses itself as follows: "Neither havo toe doubted us to the strength of the Whig party, nor do wo doubt now any more than our respectable contemporary at Washington that it is at this moment 'stronger than it was four years ago,' and wo havo tho same reasons for our faith that are urged by the lutelligencor. Wo are as strong as when wo proved our strength overwhelming in tho election of Gen. Hurrisou, and if there has been an apparent falling off in our force since the disastrous dispensation of God's providence in permitting Mr. John Tyler to take tho place of the good man selected by tho People for the first pluce u the uovcrnmcnt, it has 011(1 been apparent Whig opinion has by no means changed, nor has the number of those who entertain it diminished. The faith is still in the vigor of its first formution, and Is followers inst ns steadfast in their ndlinrenen to it There has been nothing to be gained hy going to the polls for the purpose of showing our strength, for a great national calamity had neutralized our power of ucting with any effect a traitor had trammelled us at every point, and rendered all exertion useless. We nave been otjiiireil to submit to the tatc that has awaited ns,and to forego all prospect of relieving the country from its calamities, till time should release us of the incubus which is temporarily prostrating all our energies. Tho time, however, is fast ap proaching when wo snail be relieved Irom the politi cal nightmare, and all we have to do in the interim is to keep our ranks closed, and preserve our organ ization. As soon as tho period arrives tor us to act there need be no tear ot the result" "ltrok.ru Ilniih.." A Locofoco hard money paper at Kulida, in Put nam county, got up a list of all the Banks,Turnpikc, Kail Koad, and Insurance Companies, Urplians In stitutes, Mormon anti Bunking, and every other do- scnplion of Association which ever issued paper in Ohio, as well as somo which belong lo other States, and paraded it as a strong reason why no Bank of any sort should ever be chartered in this Estate. This list is trnnsterrcd with duo pomp to U10 hard money cmotro 01 mm nmee. , , . ,, , , it is amusing tu sco how hard theso anti-liankites strive to mako demonstration against tho establish ment of Banks upon any practicable system. 1 hot are not satisfied with inserting in them Banks whici ntrrr failed, but they absolutely travel to Nashville in lenuessec, 10 pica up a sninjiio 01 irrcapuiismiu trash and locate in Ohio! A "Branch of the Bank of tho United States" is set down as ono of the fail ing Banks. It's a pity that these diggers among the drv bones of defunct banks dul'nl know, that no branch of tho Bank of the United States ever failed in Ohio, or any other Stato and that "Otis, Arnold St Co." who issno the "checks" belonged to and trail ed from Nashville, Tennessee Who ever hoard ol an insurance company or a ttirnpiko company issuing pacr while the U.

But they may "tell their yarns to tho Marines saltan won't believe them." It must bo quite refreshing for the Locos to notice, in tho list of broken banks, that sweet scented concern at Gallipolis, for which Gov. Shannon issued his proclamation. And that fragrant little individual responsibility machine at Manhattan, which was adopted by the Locofoco legislature of 1838!

Dayton Jour. The Nral ConsreM Wo notice that some of the Journals are auguring ill of the nexl Congress, because tho two Houses will stand npased in politics the Senate being Whig and iho House Loco-Foco; whilo the Pren dont onjoys tho confidence or respect of neither. Hut from tho admitted premises, wededuco a direct ly opposito conclusion. Neither House will be greatly inclined 10 parly legislation, unless for Polit-ical effect, from the foreseen iinnossibiliiy of effecting any thing of the sort Tho Tariff, tho Currency, tho Ijand Distribution, must remain substantially as they now are. This being obvious, we trust that more benefit lent legislation of a non-partisan character will bo cunsiiiiunalcd than could be under different auspices. Wo look for a thorough revision of our Post-Ollko system, securing to the citizen greater freedom of transmission out 01 tne 1 osi umco ami greater secu rity against tho capricious exactions and restrictions of tho Postmaster General and his subordinates. Tho power claimed by the Department to comrW the transmission of all Pamphlets and Periodicals through tho Post-Ollice, and to rhargo many of them a pneo which is utterly prohibitory of their circulation, ought to bo annulled for ever. So far as the Department is a public benefit it needs 110 uioliopoliling and penal enactments in its favur. Tho Rates of Postage on Letters ought to be revised, adapted to our Federal Currency, and greatly reduced. A reduction to fivo cents under two hundred miles, ten cents from two hundred to 0110 thousand, and twenty fivo for any greater distanco, with a rigorous limitation of the 1 ranking Privilege, would in two yean produco a greater revenue than the present oppressive, unequal and un-Aincrican rates. A careful Retrenchment of all tho salaries, perquisites, tic of Ilia functionaries of tho Federal Government ought now to bo effected. There is now opportunity, and there is great need of such a Reform. The pay of Membere of Congress is too high, and causes t waste of tuno which should bo devoted to the puhlio interest; their Mileage, ortnv eling allowance, is outragonusly exorbitant There is no sense or jttstico in a Republic paying IMHKI outfit and $!l,0(K) per annum each to her Ministers to Prussia, Austria, Spain, Bnzil, 6V c. Tho whole of our service is full of such unjust salaries; tho pay of many if not most grades in tho Navy, for instance. All these we shall hope and labor to have retrenched at the approaching Session. There will be an effort to overthrow the Tariff and probably a bill passed for that purpose, which will pretty certainly be stopped in the Senate. If we were not vory sure of a Whig triumph in '44 at any rate, we could almost wish the Loco-Focos had power to pass a bill at this Session, as they would be certain to destroy themselves and enable us to restore the present Tariff' after a few months. We want to see exposed by their own acts the villainous deceptions they havo been attempting upon the Wool-growers and other classes through the last year. There is no interest more wisely and well cared for in the present bill than thatofWool-growing; and yet sucn journals, as the Albany Argus and other Loco-Foco organs have endeavored to convince the farmers, with the Price Current convicting them of imposture, that Woo) was left unprotected and only the Woolen Manufacture regarded! If thoso who have played this game to divide and destroy, had only the Tariff entirely in their hands this winter, they could not fuil to demolish Uicmselves effectually. A-. Y. Tribune. The Protective SJMtrm. It needs no argument to show that the interests of tho mechanic and of the manufacturer aro sustained by a judicious system of domestic protection. The following passage from an article in tho Martinsburg (Va.) Gazette, will give some idea uf the views en- tortatned by the agricultural interest on this eutiject : "We glory that the Whig party are singled out a the exclusive friends of the Protective System. We are nroud to advocate the cause snd interests of our own country against England and Europo. We are rejoiced that the question is to be submitted to the people at the next Presidential election, fairly and fully. and still more rejoiced that he who has so lung battled in the cause is to be the standard bearer of our principles. Give us Henry Clay and protection to our Home Industry in all its branches, Agricultural, Commercial, Manufacturing and Mechanical, and our opponents are welcome to call themselves democrats, and to advocate their Free Trado systems, which people now understand lull well to mean lo al low England and all Europe tho lull and uncontrol led use ot our market anil tho products 01 our coun try free, while we are to bo taxed by them without stint or mercy. Our agriculturists surely will not fall much in love with the democracy if such be their doctrines, and they certainly arc." We do not doubt but the Imzette is hero express ing truly tho strong convictions of the farmers in that fertile portion of Virginia. In extending our homo market for agricultural productions, by giving extension to the pursuits of manufacturing and mcchan-ical industry, the true and only course is pursued by which the restrictive arrangements 01 other coun tries can be provided against the only course by which the agricultural interest can bo benehtcd by legislation. Pho annually increasing production of tho Wes tern country, hy which heavy masses of wheat, dour and pork will be poured in largo and still larger iiuanlities into our Atlantic markets, should warn tho tanners of the Middle States that unless the means of increased consumption are found to keep pace with this growing production, their interests must sutler. Let manufactures be multiplied; and new cities and towns will arise with large and increasing populations lo consumo tho surplus ot agricultural products ; and we shall have an ample homo market Dattimort American. Mtnle Couatltultona. There is a movement in the Stato of N. York, approved by John C. Sjienccr, and other distinguished civilians and citizens, to re-model the Constitution of N. York for tho purpose of introducing many interesting new principles of political philosophy, which have been developed by the history of tho times and the new lights of Democracy, and transcendental Loco-Fociiism. Constitutions aro the fundamental, organic laws of Society. It is of great moment that they should, in this country be liberal, and truly Republican in all their features; but it is likewise of some importance, that they should have some stability. They check in some good degree the ultraism of party movements, they set bounds to the fanaticism and violence of party spirit and Iho infatuation and protligacy of successful and popular leaden has often been stayed by tho barricn of the s,;j,!;:te,riPielwii'in No ay, ,mn. Supreme law, deferring tho rights 01 SI Kiel)',' 'as f Ell as tho rights of tho individual. Whilo respected it is an impenetrable Algis protecting the Slate, and each Citizen of it, from the worst ctl'ecls of the madness that often rules the hour. It is not remarkable that Demagogues and ambitious politicans, should fret and clml'c against these restraints, and that they should be eager to tlourish a trowel, orcar-ry a hod in the work of Constitution-building themselves. We aro not to be uudentood as asserting Iho absolute or even approximate perlection ol the six and twenty State Constitutions uf the Republic, or as being hostile to all changes, merely because thev arc changes. But the evils of a Constitution should be obvious, serious, well ascertained by so ber experience, to justify any attcmrt to relorin It. The assimilation and hahilsofcasy movement which a community forma by long familiarity with any sot of laws, is a strong appeal to common souse against changes from or for ephemeral causes, We percievo that one of tho important modifications proposed by the movement in N. York, is to chango tho modo of electing their Judicial officers, and 10 change also the tenure ol all judicial stations. It is suggested that the Judges should be chosen by the Pcoplo directly, and that they should hold their offices for a short term of years. To this, or rather to the principlo of it wo are unequivocally opposed. We think the judiciary of this Cuuntry has been humbled low enough at tno tooiatool or party leaden, and dictaton. In somo States the sacred ermine has been steeped in tho very dregs of tho political vat; and tho idea of an Independent Judiciary has been stigmatized as an old Federal 1 ilea w Inch no man having the proper fear of Federalism before his eyes, would undcrtako longer to vindicate For ourselves, snd we think wo may safely say, for the great body of the friends of Constitutional Liberty, wo must still maintain, that to prcservo the tribunal that interprets and administere tho Iaw, pure and incorrupt it must be intlependrnt of the Sttw, snd the pnMtoiu of those who direct and ridu the storm of Politics.

Now York papen of Monday evening, agree in tho statement that thore is no Yellow Fever at Kingston or Rondout, nor any disease of a malignant or inl'eciious character. In New York itself, there is no appearance of such adiaeaso, but on tho contrary, tho health of the city is stated lo bo remarkably good for the season. ' w Health or New York.

The House of Commons was still busy upon the Irish poor relief bill and the new bill for the regulation of theatres. Nothing of prominent interest came out in the debates. The House of Lords did little but routine business until the 8th of August, when Lord Monteagle gave notice that on the 14th he should bring forward a motion on the state of the finances, and the Earl of Roden called attention to the condition of Ireland prefacing his remarks by presenting a petition from fivo thousand Irish Protestants, complaining of the repeal agitation and of tho repeal meetings, and declaring their readiness to support the authorities in suppressing treason and rebellion. The prayer of the petition was for the protection of their lives and properties, Tho Duke of Wellington made the chief reply to Lord Roden. He did not attempt to deny the critical situation of Ireland, and the extreme injury caused by thoso "criminal agitations;" but contented himself with assuring the House that every thing had been done which could be done, to preserve the peace of the country and to meet all misfortunes.

This is the only item of news, if news it may called, for we have had so much rain here that it is an old story. At Brooklyn, New York, and Newark, it was rather a water spout than an ordinary rain, for itcameduwn in torrents, and the streets were said to be navigable. The direction of the rain seems to havo boen in t streak from north to south. The South Carolina and North Carolina papen speak much of the immense rains last week tho Virginia and Washington pa-pers likewise; and from the North, we learn that it rained at Pittsburgh. We have no Quebec or Montreal papen to-day, so of the Canadas we know mt, JF lh9 ' no nia rilrtn!r tlmn Hartford and New-Haven, and on the West, as far as Utica, Syracuse, and Oswego, and also in Delaware county. The Buffalo and Rochester papen by the late mails, do not allude to any heavy rains. The strip of country that has been so thoroughly drenched during the last ten days, is about 200 miles wide, and 1200 miles long, extending from the Canadas to Georgia. How much farther tho storm has spread, we cannot yet say. Though the heavy rains in this vicinity havo unquestionably done considerable injury to barley and oats which had been cut and left in the fields, yet in its train, it has brought good. The navigation of our noble river was seriously retarded last week, and until Monday night fleets of vessels were aground on the overslaugh.

Those who arc acquainted with the immense commerce of the Hudson river cun appreciate the loss that must have ensued had the low water of the last week been continued through another week. It is worthy of remark that whore the drought has been the most severe tho rains- have been by far the heaviest It is well known that the country around New York haa been parched most of the summer, and there, instead of rain, tho residents speak of a deluge.

The distance agreed upon was forty yards, and the weapons selected double-barrelled shot guns, Iho frdrds' one a'nd' five. 'They fought four rounds, the result of which was the second and third fire of Labrancho grazed Hueston, the fourth took effect in his left side on the last rib, passing out at the back.

Fivo Roman Catholic Missionsries (Frenchmen) have been rescued from a horrid death in Cochin China through the interposition of Mr. Ballestier, the American Consul at Singapore. Having heard that tliey had been arrested by the king of Cochin China for preaching, and were to be executed by awful mutilation, Mr. II. sent a special message to the king by the Mandarins of some of his ships at Singapore, that tho French government would visit such cruelly with exemplary punishment; that the Christian nations would not permit such barbarity, Tho king was constrained to defer his purpose. Meantime the French corvette Heroine, Captain 80-vegne, was sent to demand their release; having succeeded, they returned to Singapore, where tho missionaries went in a body to tender their thanks to the American Consul.

Tho British Dlaaoaaa. Mr. Weed, Editor of the Albany Evening Journal, in one of his Letten from England, gives the following entertaining sketch of a visit to the British Museum and NaUonal Gallery, I had heard so much of the British Museum, from those who had seen it, and read so much about it from tourists and travellers, Uiat I come to regard it ss a Now York or Albany Museum, upon a large scale; and went there to-day because it was one of Uie many London Lions, not expecUng to be particularly interested. Those, therefore, who have been through this Institution, can judge of my amazement when its wonden were revealed to me. Earth and Ocean " have been literally " plundered " to make up this endless collection of all that walks, or swims, or flies, or creeps, or crawls. You have here an epitome of all, and more than all Uiat Noah received into the Ark. I alie.ll not of course, be absurd enough to attempt to describe what I saw ; but I do want to give you some inkling some faint notion of what this Empire has, by extraordinary munificence, gathered together for the gratuitous instruction and gratification of visiton. But tho attempt will be lame and impotent for I could not even pro cure the various catalogues short of an expense of torty-three pounds sterling, or $215. i he catalogue of printed Books alone, in the Library, published by Longman & Co., costs 4 pounds 6 shillings. There are 31 cases of " Rapacious Beasts," containing from ono to fifty different animals of this species. There are 30 cases containing "Hoofed Boasta," each with from twenty to fifty specimens, while thoso of the species too large for caBes, aro arranged upon Uio floor in front There are 30 cases of " Birds of Prey," each containing from an hundred to an hundred and fifty specimens, Of this number there are over forty different species of the Eagle. Of "Nocturnal Birds," mostly of Uio Owl and Bat species, there are five large cases, and over four hundred specimens. Of other Birds, embracing, 1 should inter, every known variety, there are ld4 cbbcs, each containing from one hundred to three hundred epecimens. Of " Shells " there aro forty one cases upon the tables, with specimens too various and too numerous to be even estimated. Upon tho walls, over the cases, hang the Portraits of 1 16 Mon-archs, Noblemen, Artists, or persons distinguished for their learning or virtue, all by eminent artists, among which are two fine Pictures of Cromwell, two of Mary Queen of Scots, Queen Elizabeth, Sir Hans Sloane, Sir Isaac Newton, Martin Luther, &c. In another Gallery are 19 cases containing more than a thousand specimens of " Reptiles." There are also 22 cases filled with " Handed Beasts," embracing every species of Ape, Monkey, and Baboon, of which there are between two and three hundred. 1 here is such an approximation between the highest order of this tribe, and the lowest species of Uie human race, that Uie organ of speech is alone wanting to form a connecting link. The Finny tribe, in all their varieties, aro arranged in cases which fill a gallery an hundred feet long. England, you know, abounds in minerals, minute and beautiful specimens of which are displayed here. Sixty cases are de voted to Mineralogical collections, arranged in the samo manner as in our State Geological Museum. 1 inn luiietuuii, uuwever, in several respects, is nut as complete as that obtained by our indefatigable Geologists. There are 1105 different specimens of minerals, with labels describing Uieir properties. But the Gallery of Antiquities attracts most attention, and excites the highest admiration. I had only an hour where days would not suffice. Two largo Galleries are filled with ancient Greek and Roman statuary. Among these is a bust of Trojan, a head of Appullo, a statue of Thalia, a head of Marcus Auronus, heads ol Paris and Helen, a group ot Uac-canalians, a bust of Severus, with sn inscription, Priam supplicating Achilles tu deliver to him Uie body of Hector, Hercules, with a club sitting upon a rock, 4c, etc. There are four more spacious galleries devoted to Greek and Roman sculptures, and two others to British Antiquities. These galleries contain many thousand curious specimens of tho Arts, when the World, many centuries past, waa peopled by a now buried nee ot aemi-barbarians. I have, in this hasty, imperfect glance, passed without notice half a dozen galleries, each containing innumerable objects of exceeding interest Tho galleries vary in length from one lo Uirce hundred feet And now, when enouirh to amaze and bewilder has Klanneoe Was operrea to tnf. 1 ueiJiuiBiy ui uie!

I know not how to give you an idea of the extent of this Library bettor Uian to say that there are shelves filled with books, on both sides of Uie room, Uiirty feet between the floor and the ceiling, extending at least a quartor of a milo. One of Uiese, from 80 to 100 feet long, containa the Library of Sir Joseph Banks, which he bequeathed to the Museum. Another, atill larger, containa the Library of George Uie Third, many of Uie works in which costs from one to threo hundred pounds a volume. There is one Gallery Uiree hundred feet in length.

The Books in uus ijiurary, 11 piacea as mey siana upon uie grouiiu, would, I should think, cover an area of more than two acres.

From tho Museum we repaired to tho National Gallery, where the eye and the imagination wander and wonder, with constantly increasing admiration and oniolion at the excellence and power of art and genius, Here are Uie efforts of the great masters, ancient and modern. Here are the productions of Claude, Titian, Corregio, Michaol Angelo, Gitido, Murillo, Raphael, Rubens, Rembrandt, Vandyck Salvator Rosa; and of Sir Joshua Reynolds, Ho" garth, Copley, Wilkic, Sir Thomas Lawrence, Benjamin West, Beaumont, and a host of other artists, less known but of great merit The pictures upon which J dwelt with most interest were West's truly divine representation of "Christ healing tfc:-ick, Mnaii.i.o's "Holy Family," and "The Infiint St. John, with iho Lamb," than which it seems impossible for brush and canvass to accomplish more. Connected with the National Gallery, is the Exhibition of the Royal Academy, Uirough which we were forced to pass in a aingle hour. Hero no paintings are admitted Uiat havo been before publicly exhibited, and originals only are received. The Academy now contains I.'I83 paintings, by more than 400 different artists. There are, also, over two hundred works in sculpture, by some seventy different srtista, Among the pictures is a splendid ono by C, R.
