ARIIIVAL ftp STEAMER BRXTRHNIA.
15 DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND.
Tho steamer Britannia arrived at Beston on
Friday morniirig, aP.er a passage of 16 M-ff days,!
having left Liverpool on llie sth inst. We are :
indebted to the express of Messrs. Adorns & Co. j
for W timer and 'Smith's European Times and ■
the N. Y. Herald extra, from which we make;
up tiio following summary:
The Caledonia arrived out on the 29th, in I t
days from Boston.
The Cotton market remains in a quiet state,
with a fair demand from the trade, and specu
lators nibbling occasionally. Tito sales of the ;
weekending witli Friday last amounted to 36,-
900 bales—upwards of 6,000 daily. During the j
same period 1,500 American and I,2oo,Sunt
were taken'on speculation, and 200 American
for export. Some descriptions barely support
their former quotations—long-stapled Cotton, 1
Brazil and Egyptian, for instance, have given
way a little. Prices gcncrally-support the pre- j
vious currency. Some purchases of Surat have !
been made at 2 1 -2d. to 3d., the buyers not in- I
tending to hold. The accounts which came to
hand by the Caledonia respecting the new crop
tiavc been varied and contradictory. They have '
not influenced the market.
The-Liverpool market for American provi-j
, sions is active. This trade ie only in its infau- }
cy, and every month will add to its importance '
Last month no less than 2,700 tierces of Aine- j
ricau- Beef were sold here—the greatest sales 1
effected since the opening of the trade—and
yet insufficient for the demand. The supply of j
Cheese falls short of the inquiiies, and tiie re
sult-ic, that improved prices have been realiz
ed. Irish Butter has advanced, and Cana-j
diar. has been asked for, but there is none to
be had.
Canadian flour lias attained an advance cf€d I
per barrel; it is in fair requect. The corn trade :
.generally exhibits a firm aspect, although the
businoss done in broad stuffs has not been to a
largo amount. Oats being-scarce, have advanc
ed Id per 45 lbs., and Oatmeal lias improved j
to the extent of 6d per 240 lbs.
The Iron trade is firm; buyers hold off in the ■
expectation of lower prices, and consumers arc I
| only purchasing tor immediate want; but every 1
tiling indicates that an active trade will con- j
tinue during the winter.
Money continues abundant. The Govern-j
ment securities, iu the teeth of this superabuH- 1
dar.co, do not improve; but this is attributed to i
the high rate of English funds—higher by 18 '
per cent, than those of' France. A large French j
loan is on the point of beicg brought out, and i
Messrs. Rothschilds have already contracted i
one for Belgium, which stands at one per cent.!
.premium. English throo per cent, consols eland
at 99 7-8 to 100.
Business in the manufacturing districts is as I
r good as it lias everbeen knewn. Spinners and
manufacturers are as busy .as bees. The ma
kers of heavy cloths, the power-loom printers,
and the manufacturers of. domestics, have all
more orders than they can execute. This slate ■
of activity, applicable to tlio neighborhood of|
Manchester, hardly holds good in the adjoining 1
county of York. The markets at Leeds and'
Bradford are flat, and the sales of good for win- i
tcr clothing was uot proceeding satisfactorily.— !
It would seem that the activity which prevail-!
Ed in Lancanshirc is not the result of orders for
the American market. Freights at Liverpool
are extromoly dull, aud few of the packets and j'
transient ships go out full. Tbo Yorkshire is
taking out a strange cargo—l2o tons of Guano,'
at 12s. 6d. per ton freight.
An attempt was made at .Liverpool to mur
der Capt. Woodliouse, of the New York pack- ;
et ship Queen of the West. lie was assailed '
as he was about leaving the ship, and knocked
down senseless, but not fatally wounded. One
of hiu crew is suspected, and has made his es
cape.
By the monthly official returns just publish
ed, we perceive that the Bank of England has
commenced diminishing its issues as ne.uly as;
possible to the amount of drain upon its gold
' bullion; and what is still moro worthy of at-;
tention, ils deposits are increasing, while its
paper currency is also decreasing

* N There is a lull iu tiie agitation of Repeal in i
Ireland, the Liberator since his declaration in I
favor of Federalism remaining quiet at his (
mountain home of Derryano.
Mr. O'Connell says in a late letter—"For
my part. 1 feel that my first duty is to combine
the people of Ireland—all tlio people of Ireland, I i
in our peaceable, legal, and constitutional' 1
struggle lo restore Ireland to her domestic Le- j
gislature, without which there is no prospect',
before us but of increasing misery and accumu-; 1
lating discontent. Protestants of Ireland! noil-, j
Repealers! w.e hold out to you the hand of per- 1 j
feet conciliation, and there is a heart in that'
hand." '
Some time ago we mentioned that steps were :
being taken by tlio London clubs to stamp "re- i
pudiation"asacrimc against society. Wo stated
that Americans belonging to tlio insolvent •
stales would be shut out of the social and other
advantages which the clubs afford to strangers |
visiting London. The war of aggression lias 1
commenced, but it is much more stringent in J
its application than we intimated at the tune, or ,
./vad any conception of. It will embrace ALL i
Americans, without reference lo what part of
I the Union they come from. The innocent will !
I suffer disgrace equally with tho guilty states.
Tho late crop of potatoes in Ireland is found 1

! that France is taking stops to abolish negro
slavery in its colonies. The-G'overnor of the

CHINA.— FURTHER DISTURBANCES AT CAN-
I TON. Ditsurbances had again taken place at
| Canton. The English last year repaired the
j walls of the company's garden, which had
! been broken down at the fire in 1842. They
| put on a gate, and were in the habit of walk-
I ing, playing at quoits, and otherwise amusing
themselves. On the loth of July, the Chinese
j endeavored totorce themselves into the garden,
i but were opposed. Upon this they thiew
brickbats, and broke down the gate, coinpel
] ling the Englishmen to take refuge in a boat,
: in which they made their escape lo the Con
sulate
On the following evening a party of Chi
| nese went armed with brickbats, and attempt
ed to take possession of the other garden. Itc
i sislanco being offered, they commenced an in
discriminate attack upon all the foreigners who
i came within their reach. Several American
, gentlemen immediately armad themselves and
I drove them from tho fiont of the factories.—

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.
Nov. 3. Tne Cotton sate, at Liverpool, on Satur
day, amounted to SIJUO bales, and the doings for the
week in this market are as follows: - A lair extent of
business, but without spirit', long staple sold freely,
and at rather easier rates, from a disposition to press
sales of Brazil and Egyptian, which are now guile as
low us at any time during the past year; prices of
American and Surat are, if any tiling, more in favor
of the buyers ilian otherwise.Plough apparently more
steady during the last two days; speculators have
taken IfillO bales of American and 1100 Sural; and ex
porters 200 hales of American.
Nov. 4. The sales of Cotton to-day amount to 4500
bales, and consist of 0500 American, 5Jd; 300 t'crnams
and Maranhams, Od to 9d; and 100 Sural, 2J to 3d.—
The prices are the same as those quoted on Friday,
hut the market closes tamely.
CORN. The duties on Foreign produce at present
are, on Wheat 2s, Barley 4s, Rye, Oats 6s, 0.; Gd,
Beans 6s 6d, Peas 9s 6d per quarter, and on Flour
Its OJd per barrel. The Wheat trade, since our last
publication, has had a firm feeling, and, though only
a moderate amount of business has been done, prices
of 0) cizii descriptions have improved 2d to 3d pi r 70
lbs.; and we have likewise to notice an amendment
of Is per Panel iw tho value of Uni'ed States ami
Canadian Flour, in both of which a fair number of
transactions have taken place; sour and stale parcels
have met with much notice, and are dearer. Feeding
articles have hi en purchased freely.
PROVISIONS-AMERICAN. The sales of Href
during the past month amount to about 2700 tierces,
being considerably dealer than during any similar
period since ihe irade commenced. Of this qti mtity
a large portion was inferior, taken for the Isle of

.Messrs. Editors: —Our attention lias been di
rected to the fact of tlie annual exhibition ol
the scholars of the Infant School, and the sc-
I lection of a person to address thorn. Dr. Dur
bill's high character as a moralist, and his fin
i ished scholarship, arc sufficient inducements tc
| he present on this interesting occasion; hut
[ these arc not alone. This institution has gone
on, by the untiring assiduity of the Itulv mana
■ gers, from year to year, diffusing the blessings
of mental and moral culture over the pupils
whom tliey have themselves collected and main
tained in their places. This they have done
by the contributions of many who, I am griev
ed to say, take not the trouble to seo the gooil
tliey are instrumental in effecting; and who
would doubtless extend their benevolence were
they to he eye-witnesses of its effect*. To
these the ladies are grateful, and they rest
their gratitude upon the evidence which tliev
propose to bring to the public mind, on Mini
day evening, in the Methodist Church, Charles
street: the evidences are the children them
selves and their acquirements The school is
under the superintendence of a judicious ma
tron, and the ladies ask the public to he pre
sent, and to recollect that "the child is father
to the man;" that "as tho twig is bent, so is
the tree inclined "
SUNRVEV AVN REMARKABI.R. DESTRUCTION or
FISII. The Mew London (Conn.) News of .Mon
day, relates, on the authority of a fisherman
just arrived in port, the following singular oc
currences:
"Tho smack in which lie was had been un
successful, hut very few fish having been ta
ken, and on many of the old fishing grounds
not one could he found! In returning along
the south shore of Long Island, their attention
was attracted to the beach, which was literally
strewed with tho bodies of dead tisli just wash
ed up by the sea.
Black fish, curiners, lobsters, and crabs, and
many other species which inhabit our shores at
this season, lay promiscuously on the sand. On
examining the well of the smack, it was disco
vered that the fish which tliey had taken were
also dead. As far as - the shore was examined
eastward, toward Montack Point, it was found
I to ho covered alike with dead fish.
We are also informed that the smack Caro-
I line, on Friday last, while about 16 miles from
j land, passed through a "rip" of the sea, (form
, cd by adverse tides, we suppose,) as far as could
j be seen in either direction, the "rip" was filled
I with dead fish. Soon after this the well of the
I smack was examined and every fish in it found
| to be dead.
These remarkable facts require scientific in
vestigation- Similar phenomena have been ob
served in the Mediterranean after a volcanic
eruption on some of the neighboring moun
tains; and it is quite probable that the destruc
tion to the finny tribe noticed above, was caus
ed by a like eruption at sea, near our coast.
THE WAV TIIEY MARRY OUT WEST. A wes
tern paper says that the arrival of 41 ladies all
at one time, in lowa, has caused a sensation.—
We think it should. But of their manner ol
'paying addresses' and getting 'hitched,' is what
we want to come at. It is said to be done in
a business-like way, something in this wise:
when a boat load of ladies is coming in "at the
landing," the gentlemen on shore make propo
! sals to the ladies through speaking trumpets,
something like the following: "Miss, with blue
ribbon on your bonnet, will ynu take me?"—
Hallo there, gal, with a cinnamon colored
shawl? If agreeable, wc will jine." The ladies,
in the meantime, get ashore, and are married
at the hotel, the parties arranging themselves,
as the Squire sings out, "Soit yourselves,
sort yourselves." A great country that "Far
West."

CHANGE OF FORTUNE. The King of France
is considered at this day tho richest man in the
world. lie was once the poorest, so let no one
despair of a change in his condition. Louis
l'iiillippe when a young man in exile, was rul
ing on an extremely cold night from Boston to
Salem along side of the driver. Ho was en
tirely without money to pay for a lodging that
night, and he began to make friends with the
driver to get part of his bed. After a while
the driver's compassion was aroused. 'You are
not a very clean looking chap,'said he to the
poor Frenchman, "hut my bed is in the har
ness room where there's a stove, and if you'll
keep your trowsors on and sleep outside, I
don't inind!"
CARROTS. This is a capital vegetable, full
ofriutricious substance, good for man and horse.
A livery stable keeper says that ho considers a
peck of carrots and a peck of oats worth more
for a horse than half a bushel of oats alone, and
for horses that are not constantly employed,
the carrots alone are far preferable to oats. Ho
would purchase carrots for his horses in prefer
ence to oats, evon if they cost the same by the
bushel; tho price of carrots, however, is gene
rally about lialflhal of oats. His liorsos cat the
carrots with a far better relish than oats—so
much so, that if a peck of each are poured into
the rnangor, tliey will cat all the carrots before
they taste the oats. When fed constantly on
carrots a horse will drink scarcely a pail full of
water in a wook,

A CASK FROM REAI. I.IKE.
We heard of a case of pecuniary rnin a few
days since, which the narrator attributed to a
disposition on the part of the husband, to con
ceal the real state of his financial affairs from
his "better half." The fair one was young,
lovely and fascinating—the ornament of a giy j
circle, fond of display, of society, aud of rnak-j
ing a figure in the world. Iler husband doated |
upon her, aud at the time of her marriage, be
lieved himself, and was generally regarded as
rich. He purchased a fine house, furnished it
in splendid style, and started forward in a dash
ing manner. Ilis wife dressed, not only with
elegance, but in the most expensive style. She
was ambitious to move in the best circles, and
believing that her husband could afford it, she
lived at tin rale of several thousand dollars a
year. Shortly after they were married the
husband met with several serious losses; but
they wore in tile way of business, an I although
they alarmed liiin for the moment, they pro
duced no serious effect upon his mind. llu was
naturally cheerful and sanguine, and he could
not muster courage enough e.vcn to inform his
wife of his pecuniary disaster. His views were
that slii- could not mend the matter—that it
was a pity to annoy and disturb her by the dis
closure, and that in the end he would recover.
But. his a flairs continued to grow worse; and
seeing this, lie often determined in his thought
ful moments, to tell the whole story to his wife,
and thus to induce her to be more economical
as well as to make less display in the eye of the
world. But he still lacked the nerve. His wife j
had formed many ttew associates in the fash
ionable circles, was regarded as quite a leader '
in the gay sphere in which she moved, was
everywhere admire.il, and her mistaken hus
band could not or would not wound her pride 1
and pain her heart, by disclosing the condition
of his falling fortunes. The worse his affairs
grew tho|more studied were his efforts to con-!
coal tliein at home. With this object, he re- 1
sorted to many new expedients to obtain funds, j
borrowed money at high rates of interest, dis
posed of his goods and his property at a saeri- *
ficc, and finally found himself in the hands ofj
the Sheriff. The blow then fell upon his young i
wife, with fearful effect. She had never ima- j
oined such a result. True, at times, when she !
telt that she was rather extravagant, she had i
ventured to apologise to her husband, and to I
ask, rather indirectly than otherwise, as to the !
condition of his business. But the subject was
a painful one to liim, and he avoided it with a i
singular delusion. lie had married her as a
rich man, he had commenced life in a liberal
style—he had in a measure induced his wife to }
become gay and extravagant: and thus lie per-;
sisted in the weakness of deceiving her, and
concealing his gradually depreciating fortunes, I
until too late. Then she was all agony and re- |
mores. Then the true woman, and her fidelity 1
in his hours of gloom, were exhibited in ail i
their beauty and truth. She reproached him, I
it is true, for his concealment; but was in any j
but an unkind spirit. She bad been misled, the j
gaieties of the world had tempted her on, and ;
thus, while mingling in the fashions and frivo-j
lities of life, she had overlooked the real state
of her husband's finances, and disregarded a
thousand indications of change, which now '
Hashed upon her with vivid truth and warning.'
The young merchant, in telling the story of his
reverses to a friend, admitted his folly, confess- '
ed the madness that induced him to conceal the
real state of Ins fortunes, but acquitted his wife !
of all censure, at tho same time remarking that >
she had in their adversity, exhibited qualities
which had endeared him to her far more than
those which she had displayed in the gay, the \
dashing aud the extravagant portion of her life, j
"The lesson," he added, "has boon a hitter one,
in a monetary paint of view, hut it lias had its i
uses. It has taught ins to appreciate the true j
enjoyment of a domestic life, the blessing of the
in door world, and to contrast thorn favorably,
even in changed circumstances, with the gid- j
dy trifling and the wild excitement oftlie mere
ly fashionable, empty and cold."
Are there no cases of concealment, such as
we have described, among our readers? Is it
not too frequently the way of the world, to as
sume a condition of prosperity that does not
exist, or at least to hold from those who should [
know them, truths of importance to the well- j
being of the parties concerned? Is there not a
stubborn pride in our nature, which would ra- |
tlier suffer than confess? Are there notliuu-:
dreds of couples in this community, who are j
comparatively strangers in thought? Aro there
not many husbands who are pursuing the same !
course that we have described above, and who,
while they deplore and regret the extravagance '
and expensive mode of living pursued by their
wives, permit those wives to remain in ignor- ■
ance as to their income, resources, expenditures
and prospects? Be assured, gentle reader, that
frankness and confidence are essential to the
married life, and that those who commence the
wedded condition by a system of concealment,
will sooner or later repent, and with the utmost
bittnerness, the folly of such a course.
REMOVAL. Tho Annapolis Republican thus
notices the removal of a gentleman from that
city to Baltimore—a removal by which the!
ancient city loses and the monumental city
gains:
We understand that Thomas S. Alexander,
esq. our distinguished townsman, takes leave;
of Annapolis to-day, for the purpose of making j
Baltimore his future residence. This formal se- !
paration from tho place of his nativity, and i
from the midst of a community in which iiu has j
thus far passed his useful life, fills the hearts of j
our people with the siucerest regrets. We lose ■
at once, a good friend, a kind neighbor, an en
terprising citizen, a christian gentleman, arid an
eminent jurist. Such a loss in such a commu
nity must he long and deeply felt. But it is \
our privilege to mingle a proud confidence with ,
those natural regrets. Baltimore, with her busy 1 j
and growing population, opens a field cmn-ji
mensurable to .Mr. Alexander's professional at-'
tainments. His career must ho successful in a j
community capable of appreciating intellectual
strength of the highest order, profound legal

INTERESTING NEWS FROM AFRICA. The
: Newark Advertiser contains some interesting
, intelligence from Monrovia, taken from Afri
j ca's Luminary of the 4th September. The
J Episcopal Mission Company, comprising ltev.
| Dr. Savage, Rev. Mr. Ilenniiigand lady, Mrs.
! Patch, and Miss Rutherford, arrived there 011
j the 7th August in the brig Frances Lord, and
I proceeded next day to their appointed station.
| The ship Virginia, with 58 emigrants from
I Norfolk, had also arrived safely. The Atalan
] ta, of New York, was also announced.
I Civilization is evidently spreading its blcs
| sings around the several colonies of Liberia.—
I In a series of articles in the Luminary, the Rev
Mr. Keys, presiding Elder of the M. E. Mis
-1 skins, gives highly interesting sketches of arc
-1 cent visit to Cape Talmas (30 hours sail from
1 Monrovia) and to the surroundingnnlive towns,
i The mission schools of the Episcopal Church
under Rev. John Payne and wife, and Rev.
1 Mr. Smith, he represents as models. Some 50
ofthu pupils have made extraordinary advances
j in reading, Bible history, geography, the ele
ments of natural philosophy, arithmetic arid
writing. Those missionaries speak the native
tongue and have free intercourse with a tribe
i of .i,600. The station is beautifully situated
in a grove of lame trees. Mr. Soys speaks of
rich savannas on which lie saw grazing nume
rous huids of beautiful cattle belonging to the
native towns. The Maryland Colony, em
bracing a population of 700, is said to be better
, provided for than any other—better houses,
gardens, fie. The people are contented, hap
j py and prosperous.
