MORNING HERALD. THURSDAY, UCTOBKK 11. 1831. At Horn*. 1 am again at home. After having travelled 10 000 miles over land and water, seen the leading capitals of Europe, and freighted myBelf with fresh ideas, like ttoe bse with honey from the wilderness, 1 am again at home, ready far a new campaign and a fresh ex istence. The sensations- the feelings? the impulses ?with which i landed, I cannot describe today. I must sleep eight heurs, without dreams, before I can begin my new task. 1 am again at home. I wns the first to land yesterday, at the Buttery, from the Royal IVilliam, amid the cheers of the passengers, than fchom a finer set never stepped on board a steamer. ? The first thing 1 shall do, is to give a full description At that voyage, interesting alike to tlieiu and to the Transatlantic Company. For the t..\aet form and pressure of ihe news from Knscland, read tho annexed resume, and then prepare for the future. J. G. B. Twelve Buys Later from Bnropc. By the arrival of the Royal William, steamer, in 26 days from Liverpool, w? hare received dates from Pans to the 17th, London to the 19th , and Liverpool 1? the 20th af September. The news by tins arrival is of great importance, particularly in a commercial and fiaancial point of view. The passage of the Royal William has been very boisterous, not having experienced, throughout the whole distance, a single fair bretze, except one day, on the coast of Nova Scotia, when it blew a gale from the north east, and another on the Long Island ?ho re. In spite of the contrary winds nnd equinoctial pales, the Royal William proved herself a capital sea boat. The only drawback during the voyage, was the great crowd of passengers, who were too numerous for her s>e and accommodation, as te destroy all comfort, and almost endanger healtk, but more espe cially the shortness of the fuel. The culpable con duct of the directors of the trans Atlantic Company ai Liverpool, cannot be passed over in silence. Of this, and of the internal management of tho Knglish steamers, we shall speak at full length in a day or two. Mexico. ? The most important news fy mis arri val are the latest accounts given of the dispositions and movements of the governments of France and England, relative to the blockade of AJexico. We have private intelligence from Pans, lrom our corres pondent there, which is particularly interesting at j this moment. In the early part of September, Pun e dc Joinville had sailed for Vera Cruz w,th a fleet of three ships of the line, and two bomb vessel*, for the purpose of rem forcing the French fleet before that city. It is sup poseo m Paris, and m London, that the French gov ernment have the intention of possess Hg themselves ?f some point d ' appui on the southern comment of America. At all events the Princc is expected to strike a blow, if the Mexicans do not yield, sufficient to per mit the Kirk to refer to it with eclat at the next open ing of the Chambeis. The French blockade of Msxioois creating a great sensation in Ksg and and Kuropc. In London, the press has taken a most active part in the discussions arising out of the question whether the blockade is le gal ornot. The Parisian prena, particularly the re pubhean portion, de end the conduct of their govern ment in the most energetic terms. It is re-narkable, too. that this defence should be se! up by that portion of the Pans an press, who are most opposed to the government of the King. A* yet the British govern ment has taken n? active part in relation to the block ode, but, it is believed, that the outcry raised by the mercantile interest in London, and other Coinmerc.al towns, will prevail on the British government to in terfere in some formal method. The diplomatic agents of Mexico and Buenos Ayres in London, were very urgent for tne action of the government? and this, in conjunction with the re sionstrance* of the merchants, it is supposed, will be able to work a check to the French policy. We have received some important facts of the views at the French, and the policy of the Mex cans. It seems that Mr. Henderson, thediplomatic agent from Texas, was in France in the month of August or September. In Pans, we learned that he had ef fected a commercial treaty with England. As soon as this important point had been etlected in London, Mr. Henderson proceeded to Paris to aegwciate a simi lar treaty there. While in Paris, tb? n*w? of the blockade of Mexico gave a new view ro the position ot affairs. It was supposed that if Mex.co did not settle her diflerenoee with Frauce, that, by some se cret arrangement, the Texians would attack Mexico by land, simultaneously w.th the attack by the French fleet by sea. All that the government of Texas wanted to raise 10,060 men in the western states wa? a sufficiency of money. Th s advance might be made by France on a secret treaty, giving great advantages to the Texians. On the other hand, the diplomatic agents of the Mexican and Baeoe? Ayrean governments were not idle in England. It was currently stated m the best inform ed eircli s in London, that prep rations were made to attack French commerce by sea, as soon as the first intimation that a gun had been fired on San Juan de Ulloa, or whenever Mexico had declared war sgamat France. Swift sailing vessels were rapidly prepar ing on the Tharar*. on ihe Mersey, and at Bristol, ready ta issue ?t any moment, and to act under let ters of marqne from Mexico or Beenon Ayrea. The diplomatic agents of hath ih< se governments were very bosy in perfecting these means of retalia tion? and it was believed in Fsgland, that in the ev nt of an open rupture, the French commerce on the Atlantic would aaHcr very * v*rely. In every point of view, theaflars .,f the blockade ??xico and Buenos Ayres were beginning to cre ate a great imbropho among the gov'rnmeats and people af FranA and England. Already it kan cret. tad more passian and virulence between the preaw of London and Paris, than any other question has done for the last few years. This depth of intcri st is aug. mented from the interference the blockade occasions to very important commercial interests. In England, the present ministry it not very strong, and the action and inflwenreof a larc< commercial body ifl toon felt by 'he government. These are the grnr-ril view* developed concerning the question at the very latest dates from Kurope. In Paris sed London we received a variety of domments this important B?bj<ct ?om? of th?>m from th? highest authorities. They touch th? legality ?f the bl?'haris, and are eonne< ted with vrry important wif-ws rrlativi to th* fade and commune of the Smith Amer f an *tate?, as well as international law, a? spplirable to the American continent In Rngland | the st otiment runs very adversely to the conduct and policy af the French government. M.imst Maikiti . 4r.- The next important psint of interest te our readers, is the peculiar condition of the Bioncjr, corn, and cotton markets in London and Liverpool. We have annexed aeveral important ex tracts fram the circulars of leading houses, the Barings among the number, including also the views of our private correspondents. From these and other means of information, it will be seen that a most ex traordinary contest has taken place in London and Liverpool, respecting the value of American products and American securities. First, of cotton. Hum phreys & Biddle, especially, with a few other houses, held large stacks of cotton? and, if possible, were de termined to hold for the present prices. On the con trary, the Manchester spinner* were very anxious for a redicUon of the price ? and to these efforts in re ducing the price of cotton, were added the influence of all those houses who had disposed of their stocks. Of this latter class, were the Borings, the Browns. Holford & Co., and many others of less import* I anc?. In this position stood the cotton market in Liver pool at the last liates. For details, we refer our read ers to the circulars. In intimate connection -with this subject, was the money and corn markets of London, but particularly American stocks. American securities of certain kinds had become exceedingly heavy. It is rematka able, however, that during the last six months, pro bably more American state stocks had been nego ciated in Londan, than in the same period in any former year. It is estimated that during the present year, at least $10,000 000 of American state securi- | ties hud been negociated in London. The latest ne- { gociation of this kind, was the loan of 82 500,000 of ! the South Carolina Rail Road, and that of one half of I tne Florida loan by the banking house of Holford & | Co. The latter portion amounted to 81 000 060. For the other half, the agent, Colonel Gamble, had pro ceeded to Amsterdam, hut it was doubted in London whether he could effect a negociation, in consequence of the great opposition which hud sot in upon Ameri can stocks in London, and (he movement which capi tal had taken in the corn trade. General McDuffi?, of S >wh Carolina, wa* at Liv erpool, on the 20th tilt., on his way to London, for the purpose of negociat.ng a loan created by the city of Charleston, to rebuild that portion of the G.ty which was destroyed by the fire. This loan amount ed to 92 003,000 or over. It was alsta doubted, how ever, whether, in the present state of feeling preva lent in London, it could be effected. We ourself arc i of opinion that it will be difficult? if not impossible. | Among the London capitalists a strong feeling has i been oorpuiatjun biucRI I ro i ii tne ' United Stales. Several ittenipts were made in Sep tember ?r August, to raise loans on the bonds of the , new banks in New York, now organizing under the : recent bank law. We saw several applications for j such loans, coming from New York, but little confi- j dencewas repo9?.d in th m. This want of confidence arises from various causes ? the influx of American j securities eausing a glut ? the peculiar state of the cotton market in Liverpool? and, though last, not least, the position of the corn trade in Mark Lane and throughout England. A great effort is making in London to tirow obsta cles in the way of Mr. Jaudon, and to impede the j operations of the United States Bank, for the purpose of compelling Humf?hreys & Diddle to throw their 1 cotton into the market in Liverpool, and thus cause ; a fall in the price of cotton. The spinners in Man chester are loud in the c-'amor that it is the hill bro kers and mt>ney dealers of London, who, by their facilties to American parties, and on American securi ties, enable the American holders of cotton in Liver pool to keep up the present prices. In addition to this pressure upon the holders of cotton, the corn trade has a tendency to withdraw capital frwm that direction, and thus aid the Munches tcrpjlicy. Kor the present position of the English corn trade, we refer our readers to our commercial extracts. This branch of trade, for the first time in many years, has started into the hi. best importance ' to the United States. The high prices of grain in England wi'l undoubtedly draw supplies from this ! oountry. Nor is this new position a transient one. Wc are fully persuad.H that it is permanent ? that the population of Great Btitam, under the stimulus of trade has begun to outrun the means of production. If the present rise in the corn trade springs from this eause and not a deficiency in the harvest then it will ?pen a prospect for a new commercial treaty and fresh commercial relations with the United States. Wc are of opinion, from liata personally colleetcd in England, and from frequent interviews with hiah- I ly intelligent dealers in Mark Line, that such is the true solution ef the rise of the prices of corn in Eng land. In a day or two we shall give our full views on this subject. Rah Roads, ? The extraordinary impulse caused by rail roads and steam navigation, farther strengthens these views of a highly important sub ject. On this matter we have numerous valuable facts. A few days before the sailing of the Rojra' William, the rail road from London to Liverpool was opened throughout the whole distance. Weourstlf travelled on it on the second day after .'penmsr. We took breakfast in London, and had dinner in Liver pool. The efleet of this, and other lines <>f communi cation, will be prodigious on trade, both internal and foretfa. Steam Navigation.? In conjunction with this, we may also refer t? the state of Atlantic strsm naviga Hun. In a Tew months, we shall have thrtt large stenmsrs running betwsen New York and the three leading porta in Kngland? London, Liverpool, and Bristol. On the 20th mst. the Liverpool, steamer, of nearly 1200 tons, will be r<ady for sea. In a few weeks after, the British Quern will he alsor<*ady. Nearly six large ateam vessels are building and pre paring t? be built? two ,n London -two in Brstol? and two in Liverpool. In one ysar or eighteen months, we shall thus have eig'tl English steamers traversing 'he Atlantic. Bat thts is not all. Three or four companies indif ferent parts of Ko Jand arc busily engaged in making experisaenta on the best and eheapest mode of apply ing steam power t a ocean navigation. In London a vessel is building, burden about '240 tons, which is to be propelled by screw paddles, with newly invented fuel, capablc of a speed of 12 knots per hour, with less cost than the present mode. In Liverpool, a c-impsny is still < ngaged in making experiments on the application of ateam through the medium of rpnok oilver? and when wr Kft Liverpool, the moat Ban game hnpea wwe indulged of its lucoeaa. mother part* of Oreat Brita n, other partita were buay in the ?amc line. It waa even auppowd that iron ateamete, on tke aeirw paddle ays'.rm, would in time supercede ?llothera for Atlantic navigation. In ahort, the fer mentation on tKeae anhjecta in Knglnnd, both among theoretical and practical men, wm in a moat extraor dinary a late of dtvel?pf>mant. We ahull ft*e ? full account of the pngrHia and preaant atate of Brltiah ataam navigation in a few daya. far aa roapecta the navigation of the ocean they are at preaent far in advanca of tha U. Statea? but thair internal man?grm?>nt in pmkata ia moat odWMf. The cauaea weahall investigate, and endei* ?t>r to aet before the public at full length, Commercial Emi?ration.? 1b the R*yal William b number of fresh commercial adventurers, some of them with large capitals, havs come out 10 this coun try, for the purpose of establishing new er extending houses. Among the most important is Mr. Holford, the founder of the huuse of Holford A Co., of Lon don. Their house has most extensive connections in Europe, having been long engaged in the continental yarn trade, with houses at Manchester, Liverpool, Amsterdam, Hamburgh, and St. Petersburgh. Mr. Holford, the head of the house, is a London merchant of great experience, high respectability, and immense capital. Last year, when the American houses fell to pieces, ami the cotton trade of Liverpool was al most going to wreck, Mr. Holford stepped forward and became a purchaser to a large amount. In this respect he look the same view, and pursued the same | policy, wh ch actuated Mr. Bnidle on this side of the . water. This was the origin of the branch of the hou*e in W ill stieet. Mr. Holford's appcarance the United States is, however, to look about and ex- ' fend his branches as far south as Mobile and New ' Orleans-, and as far north as Boston. It is also pes- j sible ihat he may visit Texis with the same view, as j tint new country is ju?t coming into the cotton mar* ! ket of the world, psri passu with his Hignness the i Pacha of Egypt. In fact the change in the coinmer- ! cial relations between England and the United States is only beginning. Barings, Rothschilds, and many j 1 of the old houses, will in turn be entirely superseded : by the new, and perhaps na house will hereafter oc- ; cupy ahmher position than that of Holford, Branck- J er & Co., with therchicf house in London. Their j operations in the cotton trade for the next year are | expected to be very laree. Theatkicals are in a very low ebb in England. Van Amburgh and the lions are carrying everything before them in London. At Astley's, the house is crowded every night? and many of the fashionable people are ravenous to see the singular power Van possess* s over his wild animals. Van is also engaged to resuscitate Drtiry Line Theatre, and also to go to j Paris during the winter. By next summer, such is the wish to sec Van Ambnrgh and his lions, it is sup posed that Ti:us & Co. will make ?50,000, or nearly $200,000. A very convenient item in these times. The political condition of England is curious. Th^ Qtieeo is very popular, but the ministry is ex tremely hard pressed by the conservatives. The ra dicals have also begun an agitation in the manufac turing districts, and O'Cennell in Ireland. In Lon don, the meeting of the radicals was a complete fai i >>P?. ?nc |>rc?eiir, and could not count over | 5000 rascals out of a population of 2 000,000. The conservatives h?v> the areatest influence in London ??he radicals' head quarters are Manchester and the i manufacturing towns. The princinal topics of agiia- ; tion are the ballot, universal suffrage, and the corn 1 laws. The latter point, the corn laws, will become ! tiie principal topic of debate in the next parliament? that aad the French blockade of Mexico, if it should not be raised, will annoy the ministry very much. Other radical meetings are called in the manufa tnr ing towns. These, particularly as corn is rising in price, and the sutj.-ct of the corn laws again opening, may cause crowds to attend ; but in London tl?e ra dicals liave completely burst their boiler; indeed, they had more boiler generally than they had brains ? but this cn passant.

O'Connell has addressed a very peppery and cur.- I oas letter to Mr. Stevenson, on the subjeet of slavery. The former correspondence grew ont of a speech of J O'Conm ll'a, at Birmingham, on the report of which Mr. Stevenson was represented as a slave trader. O'Connell states, that " if Mr. Stevenson doea so and so, he is so and so." It is very curious, but we have no room for it today. The history of the rise and progress of the abolition humbug in England, has ne ver been unravelled in the United States. We shall i take an early opportunity to do it, and suggest some remedies for the impertinence of the English abolitionists on this point. The Royal William had more than 60 passengers. She was short of fuel before she got 10, and sparks, tasks, planks, benches, <Vc. were burnt up.

From (At Bunker t' Circular. We find that we last week estimated the quantity of coi-h imported from Ireland into Great Britain, above the actual ameuut as shown by the Entries : 1832 appears to have been one of the years of largest import ; and in that year Ireland sapplied us with 552 740 quarters of wheat, 1,662 097 quarters of oats, 123 097 quarters of barley, 14,529 quarter# of beuns, 1,915 quarters of peas, 293 quarters el' rye, 8.228 quartets of uialt, 2,875 quar ters of Indian corn, till, 412 quarters of oatmeal, making together 2.977,875 quarters ef all kinds of grain Hurl oat meal ; nnd over and above these, with 831,434 cwt. oi wheat flour. Now the value of the whole of these im ports could not reach so high as Ave millions sterling. 1 he total amount of the import from Ireland of all kinds of corn, in 1837, was 2,938.51!) quarters, which does not include wheaten flwur. Reckoning the same amount ol this as took pla^e in 1832. and a correspond ing proportion of wheat i? grain, the value of the im ports Irom Ireland in 1837 would probnbly exceed x'5, 000, 000. The average y?arlv imports af corn from that country into Great Britain, during the ten years, 1828 to 1837, amounted to 2.672,620 quarters, while the average ol the three years, 1815 to 1817, was no more than ,98,288 quartets, or less that, one-third, only ten years prior to the seties of the higher imports. The imports from Ireland, m the two years, 180G and 1801 collectively, were only 1273 quarters. These facts ex hibit an increase ef corn produce in n sn.all country which we believe to be unexampled. Our impression however, was that Ireland supplied us with more than a twentieth part of the amount of our own annual pro duce of corn, and that its value could not be less than" ?6,000,000, which, from the above figures, doc, nct appear to be the case. It would consequently seem that we have allowed quite enough, probably mure than we ought, for the bearing which the imports from that country would have on the corn trade. We shall re joi e if the issue should be better than we have antici pated; but at present we have discovered no grounds to warrant us in fostering such an expectation. The varying prices of markets ought to have but little in fluence on one's judgment in this matter; the test must be applied about six months hence. We are glad to be able to report that, as far as we can estimate, nearly one half ot all the white corn produced in England, south ol Doncaster, has been gathered ? most of it m good condition. It is important that we should bring under particular notice a significant change which has taken place in ll e views of some of the great capitalists #f London, to whom the Bill-brokers sre in the practice of resorting lor supplies of cash. It is caused by a clear manifes tation that the system of dt awing bills at three, four, or six months date, or sight, by Arms in the United States, or their buyers and agents in this country, upon opulent merchant bankers in the American connexion residing la London or Liverpool, is again be; inning to increase in its operations. And these capitalists say that it was this system of business, viz. that of drawing bills for the sole purpose of raising money by discounting them in the markets at law rates of intetest, which pioduced all the dis?s;ers of 183ti 7, and that therefore no prudent man should encourage its revival, growth, and exten sion. We know that hills of this description, of a large amount, accepted by four e- five several houses, each of unquestioned wealth, have been refused by parties who, at the tune of such refusal, were burdened witti money which they were anxious to employ at a frac tion under the rate of three percent per annum for the interest. Now this we call a significant change in the views of 8 very important class of men. The three and four months' acceptances of the opulent merchant bankers ?agents of the American importers of British produc tion*? are the sale, convenient, faiuil'ar instruments with which, principally, our manufacturers have long carried oh their trade with their customers beyond the Atlantic. Economy could not devise a scheme better adapted for their mutual support ami accommodation provided the firms accepting the bills have sufficient property to justify them in expecting thatihe public will take and circulate them, confidently and Ireely. If, for example, to select a high public case for illus tration, Mr. Biddle should Wave formed his plans on a calculation of the facilities afforded to the bill credit system in England and should find those facilities sud denly taken away by the will, the caprice, or the saga cious judgment of the powerful regulators of the credit circulation, would the change cause him ami his col leagues no embarrassment and peiplexity? Would it not immediately cause them to restrict their accommo dation to their customers in the United States, and throw all business carried on by the people at large into difficulty T Again, if the influence of thia gentleman nnd his coarijutera should be so i:reat with the bill brokers and great money agenta of England as to induce them to uphold the credit of the United States Bank at all events and under all imaginable circumstances, would net they, when pressed themselves nnd being tie barred from their heretofore customary relief at the Bank of Ei gland, at once turn adrift connexions of less value than me aforei-aid Bank and its agents ? They may become as deeply implicated with this new credit circulating in England as they formerly were with the credit ef the American merchant bankers ? almost all of whom, whether suspended or not. w ere equally deserv ing of credit, quite ss responsible intrinsically while customary facilities were afforded them, as Mr. Biddle or any banking institution if? and if they should become so. who shall say that accident will never throw them upon their own resources as it has done ethers when their loads were the heaviest ? On these grounds, we repeat, thia subject is one of in describable importance, and the attitude assun ed by some of the powerful London Bankers concerning the system of raising money by bill credit adds interest to the statement. We could name those who have taken this posture of rejecting bills when they were in urgent want of them, purely because they believed them to have been drawn aud accepted by persona engaged in the American trade for the aole purpose of raising money by d iscnunting them, who possess far more cur lent general power in the discount market that the Bank of England ; men who have, we will vrnture to say, during the last twelve years, discounted in the ag gregate, a larger amount than all the discounts of the Hank of England in London during the same perio?U When men of this character and power, whe exercise a daily influence en the floating mercantile credit of the country, take upon themselves to pronounce any system of business dangeroua, and meriting proscription and condemnation, it becomes all who are entering upon speculations, making arrangements in business, or un dertaking extensive operations of any kind, on their faith in the strength and durability of that system, to ex amine well the chances of its rupture and dissolution. The circumstsnces we have brought into view, are powerfully illustrative of the deg-ee of danger that may, under not an improbable atate of affe;rs. attend the ex tensive operation of this system. There is. however, no risk at present thrt it will be materially checked aid impeded by the obstructive influence which we have described, for the bill-brokers could of themselves, by mesne of their own resources and those of their eeteb lished regular connexions, carry more ihari twice the weight which the operetore in the revived bill-credit system are likely to ask them to sustain. The con tingency of the day of severe trial appears dis tant ; but it is incumbent, nevertheless, fot all Bankere and Merebenta to keep it in view, that they may eot be suddenly stepped in their course by the sudden sad un toward exercise of ihf same pnwer as threw down is many responeible and worthy merchants in the year 1*37. The probable remoteness of the issue would have restrained us from introducing the subject just now, if we hsil not known thst the Teje< tion of the hills described, manifested en inflexible purpose. They consisted of the scceptances ef firms who. In speak mo derately, ate now universally believed to be severally possessed of property exceeding half a million sterling.
