FRIDAY EVENING, Dec" 31.
(Per Columbia.)
Extract flrom a letter to a gentleman in this city, r*
ccived per Columbia, at Boston, dated
“LONDON, Doc. 8.—The demand for American Col
ton still continues modernte,and is freely met by holders
in prices, however, there is no porceptlble change. Th
Trade have been extensive buyers of Surat* at about SJi
^er lb, which are now held with more firmness. Fron
Manchester, the accounts arc very unsatisfactory : price
Twist arc lower, and transactions limited, while good
c/mthiue much neglected.
* Of American slock* we have nothing favorable to re
port, and can quote no price* Ht which there would In
buyers. Holders are anxiously wailing the January I)iv

and any further defaulters be declnrcd, confidence in nl
American state securities, would, we fear, be completely
destroyed. U. S. Bank share* find buyers at j£ 1.
LIVERPOOL, Dec. 3, 1841.- -The sales of cotton for
the week ending the JDlh ult., the day the last steamer
•ailed were 19,840 kales; for (he week ending the 26th ult,
they were 24,810 bale*; (hr the week ending this evening,
they were 28,450 bales. At the close of the last, and the
early part of the present week, the market appeared
more steady for the middling and fair qualities,but though
aale* were effected with more facility, no advance in pri
ce* could be realized rvirn In those above desertpiion*—
while good qualities barely sustained their former value,
and ordinary continued rather to decline. Since the Inst
American steamer arrived on the 1st in?>t. there has been
more cotton pressing on the market, particularly of ordi
nary andgood, which must both be considered f to| low
er than on the Ifetli ult, the dale of our last rircrtlar, hut
the quotation for fair Upland h still 5|, and fair Mobile
6d, while for fair Orleans it i* reduced to 6|tl, which nre
all fully ns high ns arc warranted. Of this week's busi
ness 4000 are Uplund at 4J to 6J; #,800 Orleans ut 4* to
71, with some prime purcels at to 3680 Alubaina
and Mobile Ht 4* to 7*, and 40Sea Island at 13 to 18d.—
The grenter depression in die ordinary qualities is to be
ascribed to the increased supply and reduced vulue of Sn"
rat Cotton; f*lr of that class being dow n to 84 to 3J,
which is forcing it much more into consumption us a sub
stitute for the most inferior American; and as regnrds
good and fine qualities, they are unfavorably influenced
by appronching supplies of the new crop, of which, some
lias now arrived; hence, middling qualities nre most sale- ,
able, but the week's business has closed with a heavy
market, generally, and trade in the manufacturing dis
trict* is represented on ad hands to be iu a most unsatis
factory and gloomy state, and the consumption more or
Jess curtailed by the spinners working short time.
The import of cotton into Liverpool since the 1st of
January is 1,096,000 bales against 1,377,000 to the same
period last year—the supply Irom tue United 8tatc* is
804,000, being a decrease of 340,000 bale*. The stock in
this port is about 450,000 bales against 432,000 at same pe
riod laat year—the stock of American is276,0C0 or 54,000
less than last year. The supply of Surat is now largo,
and the import into Great Britain for the present yeur is 1
likely (o prove about 300,000 bales, being an increase of ,
84,000 on the Import of last year.

Mary Rogers Case Again.—A inau by ih«
name of Edward C. Sandell, who was formerly en
gaged in the dry goods business in New York, liai
again been arrested on suspicion of being (lie murderer
li appeal s dial when lie was arrested before and fully
examined before the Mayor, and, although it wai
cdiowu that lie was at Hoboken on the Guy abov*
mentioned, in company with a girl resembling Mary
Rogers in every particular, both of dress and person;
and, although he admitted that lie was there on tha
day wi ill a young lady, yet lie gave no clear explana
lion as to who slie was, or why liu was w ith her! Hi
neither explained in a satisfactory manner the cuust
of his leaving the city, and settling himself in tin
secluded spot which lie selected in a retired coitagi
iu Bergen county, New Jersey, located in a neighbor
liood where suspicion would hardly dare to breath*
its taints, and where he, in ull probability, if guilty
presumed that the searching eyes of the police wouk
never prompt them to visit, 01 why his absence wai
called for at the particular period.
He proved by several persons, that he was in New
Y'ork from 5 to 11 o'clock, on Sunday evening, July
25tli, and that he was seen in coinpuny with Ins vvifc
on the same eveuiug, at 9 o'nlock. The evidence
ode red to prove un alibi was conclusive, so far us re
gards his presence in the city that evening, but uulcsi
an explanation is given as to who the young lady wai
that he was seen with at Hoboken on that memorubU
day, we fear that it will be difficult for liim to eradi
cate (lie suspicions that have already been created
against him. The examination is not yet concluded
and we trust that Mr. Sandell will be able to cxplaii:
every thing to the entire satisfaction of his Houor,
lhe Muyor, and the public.
There appears to be an apprehension that when
the intelligence of the success of the nnti-bond parly
in Mississippi reaches England, it will cause a gene
ral panic among the holders of American bonds, and
that large quantities of this species of security wil
consequently be sent for sale, for whatever they may
bring, in the United States. \V« think the appre
hension well founded. The result would be auothei
convulsion in the money market, for the proceeds o
tile sales would be remitted, for the most part, ii
specie. This would be attended by a severe, but
temporary pressure, and were it not that the losses
would fall heavily on parties, who have purchase!
our securities, iu full laith that the interest and prin
cipal would be punctually paid, we would not regie
the fact, that American instead of Foreign capital
ists, should possess those evidences of Slate and
Corporation debts due abroad, which, draining (lit
country of a largo annual sum for interest, opemtei
v ou tbe people of the United Slates in the same man
j uer as abseuteuism does in Ireland.—[Southern Pa
l Uiot.
) Another Defalcation.—The Common Coun
, cil of Albany, N. Y., have removed their Chamberlain
[ Sanford Cobb, for an ascertained deficit in bis nccotim
’ as the fiscal officer of that city. The sum in default
it is stated, as far as ascertained, will not fall mutl
short w. f50,000. The surety not having been re
newed, it is understood will not bo liable. The oc
currence has caused no little exeitaiuent.

‘ | The letter nriiI came through this morning. The
- i Boston, dates are of the 21st, New York, the 22.!,
Washington, t!u' 23 I, and others to correspond.
Tlie paper mail failed entirely.
The accounts l>y the Columbia, from Liverpool
' reached Boston on the 21st, the date* nre to the 4th
inst. The Boston letters did not come on, ami the
paper mail failed entirely. A London and a Liver
pool circular mailed at New York, were received b\
- merchants, in the city, by whose politeness we are
enabled to give them to our readers. They will be
' found under the commercial head.
’ We are also indcUrd to a friend for nn Extra of
’ the New York Herald, dated at eleven A. M. contain
ing the mi seek mi ions and political accounts. It came
also by the letter mail.
We can only copy a few items. There is little of
inueh interest.
The Immdon money market was tolerably oasy and
plenty of money could Ik? obtained on good securities.
The heavy importations of specie from the United
Etatcs and from South Ameren, would it was thought
he ample guarantee against any further panic in the
money market for some time, and capitalists were
looking about them for safe means of investments.
Private letters from Manchester, adverting to the
failure of Gisborne, Wilson & Co. the calico printers,
state the amount of liabilities at about £80,000. The
iramedia'e cause of the stoppage is referred to the
Bank of Manchester, which stands as a creditor for
A 6,000.
TU«ie was no mental alleviation of the di.-fres*
in the manufacturing districts-tlic cuntrubutions
j from othftft parts of the kingdom, though apparently
I liberal, being totally inadequate to meet the emer
gency of such a general want «f productive employ
' inent. A faint hope yet seemed to lingei with some
of the newspapers that the crisis had passed, that
the principal causes of depression had ceased toextst
and that business would soon resume its wonted energy
and lif.;.
The commercial depression which had prevailed sn
long in England, had spread over the whole of Europe.
In Russia it was felt very severely. Not less Ilian
two hundred and fifty failures had taken place in
Moscow alone, and nearly an equal number at St. 1
Petersburg. The Emperor is reported to have issued ■
a temporary ukase, to the effect that those insolvents ■
whose estates did not pay 40 percent on their debts,
should be compelled to join the army as common sol- 1
diers.
The British oPtli and 98th Regiments were to pro- 1
ceed immediately to China, having been fully recruit
ed. No difficulty appeared to exist in enlisting any
requisite number of troops as a great many of the vast
multitude out of employment chose to brave danger
and disease abroad, rather than starvation at home.
There was a great meeting of deputies from all
the Anti-Corn-Law Associations, at Manchester, on
the 27th November, at which speeches were made
and resolutions passed, verging very near to what
would have been considered “treason” some twenty
years ago.
A slight degree of uneasiness prevailed in the
French rupital on Tuesday, inconsequence of several
workmen having struck for wages, and patrolled in
large bodies the outlets of the city, The troops were
kept under arms in the barracks, but were not called
into action.
The French government is considering the subject
of a regency, in case anything should happen to the
Duke of Orleans.
The Paris papers of Wednesday, belonging to the
opposition, unanimously contend that the present
ministry is tottering, and that perhaps before the
meeting of the Chandlers, Count Mole and M. Thiers
would be in office.
Mobile Annuals.—This may appear rather a
singular announcement, but it is nevertheless true,
that" those < nterprisingpublishers,” Messrs. Double
! day & Scars, “have just issued from their press”
two Annuals for 1812, with illustrations by nrtists of
unquestionable merit.—Wc call them annuals .is that
| is the polite term, but in homely parlance they are
| old fashioned Almanacs, which all require. These,
1 however, answer a double i>«r|\n«p, for a man may
find nil about the moon, tides and things, ana at
the same lime enjoy a hearty laugh.
The Tariff Question is beginning to agitate
; Congress. On the first Legislative movement to
wards considering the subject of altering the duties
on imports, the principle of protection was brought in
to controversy. The ardent manner in which the
discussion has been carried on, at this preliminary j
I stage, sufficiently indicates that it is to be one of the !
1 most exciting topics of the session. The simple
question before the House, was whether so much of
the President’s Massage as relates to the Tariff,
should be referred loth# Committee on Wiijh and
Means, or the Committee on Manufactures. Mr. Fill
more, of New York, the Whig leader of the House,
moved the reference to the Committee on Manufac
tures. Mr. Atherton, of New Hampshire, moved to
substitute the Committee of Ways and Means, and as
the discussion spread, it has come to he considered a
test question, whether the New Tariff is lobe for
Revenue, or for Protection.
Nearly all the Southern speakers, maintained strong
ly the ancient free trade doctrines of the South, and
resisted at the outset, the recognition of the Protec
tive principle by Congress. Messrs. Illicit anil But
ler, of South Carolina, and Mr. Foster, of Georgia,
Mr. Rayner, of North Carolina, and Messrs. Wise
and Smith, of Virginia, unfurled the old States Rights
Free Trade banner, with the spirit and eloquence of
former da^s. They met the first effort of the high
Tariff party, to introduce its favorite scheme into
j Congress, at the outset, and announced uncompromis
ing opposition. Those of them who arc Whigs, and
haveacted with the Harrison party,exposed themselves
in debate to the keen reproaches of their Northern al
lies, for deserting the Whig party on this question.
They were told that a Protective Tariff' was one of
t^e Whig principles during the late canvas, that Har
rison was elected under a pledge to restore this par
of the American system, and that Southern Whigs
who are against the Tariff violate their faith as
Harrison men! Here is another chance for a
little domestic controversy among the Whigs, 'ibout
their principles, upon which, ns in most other public
questions a great deal may be said on both sides.
Harrison pledges, like lives of Harrison, were made
differently for different latitudes, and when they come
to b° compared together, they seldom read alike. Mr.
Proflit, of Indiana, went with the South and the
Northern Democrats on this question, as he has uni
formly done on the subject of Abolition petitions,
much to his credit. It is w orthy of note, too, that a
Northern member, Mr. lawn, of New York, boldly
stood up for the '1 ariff as an anti-slavery measure, a
discrimination in favor of the free labor of the North
over slavejlabor, to which lie applied sundry severe epi‘
tbets, and was rebuked therefor by several represen
tatives, from Southern states.

Tuscaloosa, Dec. 26
Messrs. Editors.—To day 1 find a lrisure mo
ment to drop you a few lines, although there is noth
ing of importance to communicate. Yesterday being
Christmas, the House adjourned after the morning’s
business. The Christmas has been a dull one here.
The House on Fiiday, passed by a large majority a
resolution to adjourn on Friday next sine die. From
what I now discover 1 think this Legislature will ad
journ on that day and leave undone much impor
tant matter. They are upon the Bank vet, and not
much prospect of doing any good. Upon (he subject
of our Banks I almost despair. Our city charter lias
parsed, it provides for an election on the 1st Monday
of February for five persons to lay off the city into
seven wards, the details of the whole Bill you will
soon have. I think the most of our business has re
ceived the action of the House, I allude te the busi
ness for our county.

tions.

We learn from the Boston Post, that Nathaniel
Greene, late Postmaster of Boston, has entered into

If the latter embraced all the powers of the sword
and purse, the Exchequer system embraces both,
with the additional' power over the exchanges—in
buying and selling them to any amount—not only
with the moneyj but with the credit of the Govern
ment. Iu this, :jt once carrying the political machi
nery of the natiui into the business—the exchange,
or, in other wor«, the transport trade of individuals
—which, with ifc ramifications, embraces the vast

pertains exclusively to the mercantile classes.
It not only tithes possession of the purse of the
nation, but thafof the private citizen, by taking it on
depnsiie, and/minding on it a new currency of certi
ficates. /
It renews fthe connection of the Government and
the banks, apd iu a way giving infinitely more power

as TrensurylTceipis, which, with the power of selec

Treasury, is deprecated in the speech of Mr. Clay,
shrinks inti nothing.
The pappr which accotup .uies Mr. Forward’s bill
is understood to be a Cabinet paper. It has marks
of Mr. Webster’s powerful and pluusible mode of
presenting things throughout. We do not doubt but
that Mr. Webster had a hand in its preparation. In
his letter through the National Intelligencer, to satis
fy his friends that he should not go out with his col
leagues of the first Cabinet, he promised them “AN
INSTITUTION UNDER THE AUTHORITY OK t’oN
GRESS, TO AID REVENUE AND FINANCIAL OPER
ATIONS, AND TO GIVE THE COUNTRY THE BLES
SINGS OF A GOOD CURRENCY AND CHEAP EX
CHANGES.” We lake the present project as inten
ded by Mr. Webster fur the fulfilment of his pledge.
There are one or two co'»cesnions iu it which ar
gue some change for the better iu Air. Webster’s
notions of Government Banks and fiscal agencies.
By admitting the right of repeal, as regards the new
fiscal machine, he admits the Democratic doctrine
that Government cannot irrevocably alienate its pow
ers in favor of what must be considered a sulrornate
ns~noyi in declaring that discounting corporations
are not tne proper aouicesot paper cuirency,another
evidence is given of a great reformation on the part
of Air. W ebster on the currency question. Wheth
er Mr. Webster has derived improvement touch
ing these vital matters, from the discussions of the
extra session, his own reflections, or the rapid pro
gress which public opinion lias made in regard to
them every where, we cannot say ; bat it is certainly,
considering his stations, a circumstance on which the
the country is to be congratulated.—Globe.
Slavery in India.—It was stated by Profes
sor Adnin, some time since, man able article on this
subject, that Slavery existed in British India, to a
very considerable extent. This statement created
quite an excitement on the other side of the water,
where it was more than intimated that the statement
was incorrect and that slavery was unkovvii iu the
Brisish Dominions. Professor Adam however suc
ceeded in establishing the o ulli of his remarks, to the
conviction of unprejudiced mind. But if there should
remain any doubt oil tins subject, it will be seen by
the following report copied from a late English paper,
of some remarks of Lord Brougham iu the House ol
Peers, shortly before the prorogation of Parliament,
that slavery exists in British India, and that in the
must revolting shape.
“Lord Brougham then called the attention of
the House to tilt* subject of slavery ami the aluve trade.
Alter stating the law on the subject of slavery, and
expressing his tears that British subjects bail unwit
tingly exposed themselves to its penalties, by engag
ing ill the slave trade, his lordship read extracts from
the report of the India law commissioners on the sub
ject of slavery in India. These extracts gave in
stances of horrid anil systematically planned murders
for the sake of obtaining children to be sold into
slavery. Lord Bioughain,after reading the extracts,
made an eloquent appeal to the Government to take
steps to accelerate the abolition of such atiocities.
The following extract, taken from a full report of
Lord Brougham’s statements, supplies the most
valuable of the facts adduced by his lord-hip in bear
ing out his position of the enormity of the .crime of
slave dealing iu India: and lie read an extract from
the report of the commissioners, which strikingly
pointed out one of the consequences of slavery in
India. The practice to which he alluded had only
recently been brought to light, and described in a
report to the commissioners by Alnjor Sleeman. '1 lie
description was under the head Mcgpunnaism, which
this gentleman describes us u part of a notorious
nract ice for the purpose of getting slaves. It is stated
in Ins repert:— 1 his system ol murdering indigent
parents fur their children has been flourishing since
the siege of Bhuripore, in 1826, and the cause of their
confining their depredations to this class of people
seems to have been the great demand they found for
these children in all parts of the country, and the
facility with which they iuveigled their parents inlu
their society. They were in the habit of disposing
of the female children thus obtained for every large
sums, to respectable natives, or to the prostitutes ol
the different citios they visited, and they found this
system more lucratite than that of murdering traveller!
in good circumstances, and less likely to be brutighi
to the notice of the local authorities, as enquir iei
were seldom made after the victims by their surviving
relations. These gangs, contiary to the customs o
those whose proceedings are now so well known It
us, iuvariably lake their families with them on theii
expeditions; and the female members of the gang art
employed as mveiglers to win the confidence ot fix
emigrant families they fall in with on the road. Thej
introduce these families to the gang, and they an
prevailed upon to accompany them to some plact
suitable for tfieir designs upon them, where the imrenti
are murdered by tho men, while the women take can
of the children.
“After throwing their bodies into the liver, r.i
otherwise disposing of them, the men return to theii
women iu the cump; and when the children inquirt
after their parents, they are told that they have soli
them to certain members of the gang, and departed
If they appear to doubt the truth of these assertions
they are deterred from fqrthor inquiries by a threa
of instant death. Th« v are allowed to associate freel;
with the famalica of the murderers, and in a few dayi
their grief subsides, and they become reconciled t<
their fate. The female children are either adoptci
by members of the gang, or sent in chaige to the wo
men, to bo disposed ot. They find a ready sale foi
them among the Brinjaralis, many of whom are con
nected with these gangs in their murderous trade, an<
all of them are well known in Upper India to traftii
in children. These Brinjaralis resell the children U
the prostitutes of the diflereutcilies, who soon becoim
acquainted with the fate of their parents, and an
much pleased to lenrn it, us it relieves them of nl
apprehension that they will ever come to recluiu
them.”
Ha then gives the examination of some of lh<
wretches couuected with these gangs of murderers
One of thesa outcasts says, “Ws call aur trade via
murdering travellers fur their children, mcgpunna.”
