ANOTHER FAILURE OF THE MAIL. Arrival oJ'two Rrilish Steam Ships. Yesterday the regular Northern Mail was only from Welden, N. (J. What renders this failure of the arrival of the Mail especially annoying, is the fact that information was received by a pas senger, who came through, via Portsmouth, that the British Steamer Acadia, arrived at Boston on Saturday, from Liverpool via Halifax, whence she left or. the 3d inst., iad that on the follow ing day (Sunday,) the President, Steamer, also from Liverpool, arrived at New York The gentleman giving' this information, was the only passenger that came through, and was in possession of a slip, giving details of the news brought by these vessels, hut unfortunately for our merchants, he was taken on board the Steam er Southerner, outside the. Bar, and proceeded to Savannah, taking the si p with him. We learn from those who read the news, that there was little or no change in Colton. The sales for the last week w ere 30,000 bales; against about the same amount of imports. The article was in dull request, and prices looking down. The business in the manufacturing districts was also in rather i depressed condition. 'The question of Peace or War was still a sub ject of excited discussion, and preparations for the latter alternative were still going on with much briskness. The Trench and English funds had declined in consequence. Beyrout, it is staled had been destroyed by the Allies. 1 The King of Holland had formally abdicated his throne in favor of hid son. 'The Princess Augusta, was dead. The President was }|i days from Liverpool to New \ ork, while the licadia made her run to Boston in 12 days and 17 hours. A Sub-Treasurer going back to Paper Moxet.—The Boston A Idas states that the collec tor of that port has giver, notice that the govern ment dues will hereafter be received in bank notes, and not one quarter in specie, as hereto fore. It appears that much trouble has been ex perienced in counting the specie and ascertaining its value, and therefore Mr Bancroft determined to go back to the old convenient system. His right to abrogate the lawj may well be question ed, but what a commentary on the pretence about a specie currency ! The People under stand it. > i From Florida.

A young man of the name of Spohx, an inolTensive and worthy Creole, whom we thoroughly knew, siome six or eight years since, in the Argus ofti. e, (to which office ho was in some manner attached,) wa s killed in a duel on the Bayou roaij yesterday. His adver sary, we are informed, was a Frenchman—they fought with rifles, at sh;ty paces, and at the first fire, the ball entered Sp. . n’s oreast. He has left a widowed mother and yfoter to regret his untime ly demise. — Louisiana Advertiser of the 17 fh. i i’l c Corporal appears lu be terribly shocked 1 at the idea of the Whigs of Baltimore importing votes from Philadelphia to aid them in carrying their municipal election, ft was entirely unm cessary for him to have travelled so far to hunt up a dark affair, as it strikes us very forcibly he might have found a darker one in his own city, and that, too, by his own party, or at least c*ee of the leaders of it. However, for his especial edification, we copy the following ac count of the affair from the Philadelphia North American : "The administration papers of the city arc telling a story of a letter said to have been re- : reived by Mr. George Riston from Jeffers, depu ty high constable of Baltimore, desiring Mr. R. I to procure five hundred men to be sent to Haiti- j more, to vo'e at the corning election of Mayor.— ! It seems that a letter of ibis purport was put into { Mr. Riston's hands by some impudent fellow, a ; ■' few days since, and subsequently taken away j j from his house in a stealthy manner, and then j I brought out before the Van Buien party leaders i ! as a*• startling developcrnent.” A great noise i has been made, of course, respecting this letter, j for the sake of throwing upon the Whig party the imputation of a design to perpetrate an ex tensive fraud. This is like stea'ing. and then raising the cry of stop thief—a poor cloak for the foauds which have been perpetrated at the late election in favor of equal rights. We are in formed that Willis H. Blaney has been placed under bonds at the suit of Mr. Riston, to answer for his connection with this affair, and that mes sengers have been despatched to Baltimore to ascertain the truth in relation to the mysterious transaction.” Deviocract ix 1801 axd ix 1810. — Soon after Mr. Jefferson’s election, on discovering that the postmasters and other olficers were interfering in elections, that distinguished republican issued a. circular to all his office holders, of which the following is an extract: “ One thing I would say, that, as to the future interference in elections, whether of the Style or General Government, by officers of the latter, it should be deemed cause for removal; be cause the constitutional remedy by the elective principle becomes nothing, and it may be smothered by the enormous patronage of the General Government.” Now read the following letter, addressed to all the Postmasters in the United Slates, who now exceed the number of office holders under the General Government during Mr. Jefferson’s ad ministration, with the concurrence and approval of Martin Van Buren, and then let every free man ask himself if the whole power of the Gov ernment is not exerted through its 12,000 Post masters to destroy the “ constitutional remedy by the elective principle,” of which Mr. Jefferson spoke: Washixgtox, May 20, 1840. My dear Bir—Having embarked with con sciousness of right and hearty good will in the defence of the administration of which I have formed a part, I earnestly invoke your assistance in rendering my efforts effective, by dissemina ting the enclosed address, and obtaining subscri bers to tue Extra Globe throughout your region of country.

From the Albany Evening Journal. Electors ol the United Slates! Before any citizen of the United States ue posites his ballot fur electors of President, we liescech him to read the following enumeration ot the principal events in the public life of Mr. Van Buren. They arc faithfully and plainly stated, so that every man may judge for himself. There is not one of them which might not be substantiated in a court of justice before an im partial jury. Read, then, and consider before you finally entrust the destinies of your country again to such weak and wicked hands. If, after all that Mr. Van Buren has done, he should be replaced in power to carry into effect the plans he has avowed, it is very questionable whether you will iigain have the opportunity of expressing cither your approbation or censure of the acts of the Government. Memorable t c nts in the political life of Martin Van Buren. After James Madison had recommended a de claration of war against Great Britain, while en gaged in its prosecution, and needing the en couragement and support of the whole country for its successful termination, his re-election was openly and violently opposed by Martin Van Buren, who voted for and procured the appoint ment of electors in the State of N. York pledged to support another candidate, and who gave the vote of the State against Mr. Madison—thus betraying the confidence of the democrats who elected him to the Senate, deserting the party which had fostered and cherished him. and do ing all in his power to bring disgrace upon the Government for its efforts to maintain the char acter of the nation, and assert the rights of its citizens. When the honor of the country had been vin dicated and democracy was again triumphant, Mr. Van Buren advocated and caused the elec tion to the Senate of the United States ofßufus King, whom he and his parlizan presses had de nounced, and to this day continually represent as a Federalist of the Hamilton school. Martin Van Buren openly and violently re sisted the demands of the people of the State of New York to be restored to the right of choosing electors of President, which had been usurped by the Legislature, and his train band in the Senate, consisting of the men ever since denom inated “ the infamous seventeen,” acting under his personal instigation, defeated the measure.— One of these men, Edward P. Livingston, is now appropriately presented by the friends of Van Buren as a candidate for elector. His contempt of the rights and intelligence of the people was further evinced by his vote in the (Convention of New York against their electing their own justices, and his impudent declaration that “ the further the power was removed from the people the better.” And by his vole in the same body against the proposition for a broad and line-al extension of the elective franchise, so as to allow any male citizen of lawful age to vote who had resided in the State three years and in the town one year, whether he had or had not paid taxes, and supporting this vote by the most violent denunciations against universal suf frage. The electors of tho State availed themselves of the first opportunity to rebuke the course of Mr. Va» Buren, by adopting amendments to the I constitution giving the election of justices to the people, and providing that a residence of one year m the Stale and six mein Us iu the county should c ititlc every citizen of full age to vole for every officer. His contempt of the people was still further exhibited by h:s audacious charge in an annual message to Congress, and in the face of the civil ized world, Inal whole Stales had been bribed and corrupted by tanking institutions to vote against him and his measures. And again, his utter contempt of popular rights and public sentiment was exhibited in his arrogant declaration that the people expected too much from the Government, and that the Gov ernment must take care of itself and the people of themselves; thus disclaiming the first princi ple of our institutions, engrafted in our declara tion of independence, that “government was in stil rsted for the ocnefit of the governed.” He has openly and contumaciously resisted the dearly expressed will of the | eople in rela tion to his proposed measures, appealing to what he called their sober second thoughts, and after a second and a third expression of those thoughts, still persisting in the obnoxious measures thus i condemned, and bv dint of proscribing the most I prominent of their opponents, by the appliances of terror and patronage toothers, and above all, by a shameless COALITION, he has finally succeeded in fastening them upon the country after they had been thric a rejectee by the repre sentatives of the people in Congo ss. He has thus usurped the functions vested by the constitution in the Legislature chosen by the I people, has broken down the independence o. Congress, bv rendering it the mere echo of the Executive will, and has evinced an utter disre gard and contempt for the democratic principles of our Government, which recognized the will . ofl the people as paramount to 'all other autho i rity. In the office of Secretary of State, he dis graced the country and degraded the station, by : instructions to our Ministers at London to re present to the British Government that a new .party had gained the ascendancy, more favorable to the vietvs of that government;—thus mingling our foicign relations with our domestic politics and seeking to interest the British Government in the maintenance of the power of the adminis tratirm to which he belonged. He condemned the Bank of the United Slates as unconstitutional, and signed a petition to its Directors to establish a Branch at Albany. , As a Senator in Congress he expressed the* deliberate and decided opinion that the Genera' Government had not authority to include corpo rations in a Bankrupt law; and as President! United States he recommended the passage o. such a law’ which should include corporations. He and his partizans denounced the “ unregu i lated spirit of speculation” at the very time wherj he was connected with a company of specula tors i.i buying up village lots ai d an immens quantity of land in and about the village of Au burn, and when the speculation turned out to 1 a loss, meanly shrunk from his share of the defi ciency. Although placed for more than thirty years it public stations the most favorable for accomplish ing designs for the public good, it is a lact i well known as it is astonishing that he cannc point to one solitary measure during his who! life, originated by him for the improvement. < the condition of his fellow-men. Not one pre position to advance education, to improve juri diction, to increase the public revenue, to tacil tate trad ■, to encourage enterprise or to rcwai lauor, was ever made by him in the Legislator of New York or in the Congress of the Unite States. And in looking back upon a long life, h can find it occupied only with petty schemes i political intrigue for his own selfish purposes. He was elected to the Presidency, not for an I merits or virtues of his own, but wholly in cons* quenceof having gained the favor of Gen. Jacl son by means of a female intrigue, by whom h was nominated as his successor, and was chost in obedience to the wishes of the General. To acccomplish his own elevation, he mine the political fortunes of .John C. Calhoun, an drove him to acts of desperation, and thus a object of abhorrence to the American people, b formed with him the most unprincipled COAL’ TION recorded in history, and received him n to his confidence and his counsels. For the purpose of purchasing the support o Mr. Calhoun and his faction, Martin Van Bure consented to the insertion of the Specie clause i the Sub-Treasury Bill requiring gold and silv« in all payments to the Government, by which ti currency will be diminished, trade and commerc embarrassed, free labor at the North reduced t ! the standing of slave labor at the South and ii j dustry checked and enterprise baffled. The character which his own political friend) at the South give him, “a northern man wii i southern principles” while it illustrates his dupl ( city, is in itself a reproach which every honora i ble man would spurn. He has had the unblushing audacity to dcclai j in a letter to a committee of his friends in Kei I lucky, that the system of finance which has pr« i vailed in our country for the last fifty years, wa a departure from the principles of the Revolulio and was devised for the purpose of strangiin our liberty :—thus libelling the patriotism ai. wisdom of Washington, Jeflersen and Madisoi and vaunting his own virture and intelligence i. j superior to theirs! To find a system congenial with the republics j principles of our Revolution, he made inquirh J of the monarchies and despotisms of the o | world, and discovered that hard-money and lu j wages were best adapted to the enterprise, the ii t dustry and the skill of free Americans—and gravi ly urges upon them a plan so beneficial in keej ing the subjects of Kangs and Emperors in di suboridalion. The system thus imported from Cuba, Ru i sia and Austria, he has caused to be adopti through the forms of legislation, as avowed 1 him, solely for the benefit of the Governmen It affords no currency for the People; it suppli no aid to business, no facilities to enterprise ; at thus he carries out his own principle, that tl Government must take care of itself, and the Pet < pic of themselves. While he would thus reduce the means of th | People, he is himself indulging in princely extrj vagance surpassed by few of the inonarchs of Ei| rope. Despising the artists of his own countr j he has introduced into his palace the most expei j sive fabrics of foreign manufacture, and lavish ) the public treasure upon baubles and trinkc \ adapted to the effeminate court of some degene * ate Oriential Nabob. He has brought indelible disgrace upon o. J arms, by the conduct of his w’ar against afe j miserable Indians of Florida, by the imheci { movements which cost the Nation millioi | upon millions, without accomplishing any thii j but disaster and dishonor. Professing economy, he has increased the e: t penditure of the Government from 13 millioi j to 39 millions annually, and has actually incu | red a National debt to sustain the extravagam j of h s administration, in the very form which I j adherents have most loudly condemned, — that > { irredeemable Post Notes. And such have been the prouigality and extr; J vagance of his administration, that works whirl had been commenced in various parts of tl , Union, for the improvement of harbors and ll j navigation of rivers, have been suspended, an j the materials and implements sold at public au ■ tion; —and those which arc continued, are carrit \ on by requiring the workmen to give credit to tl i government until Apiil next. He has fctought the patronage of the Exectl live in direct conflict with the freedom of electio? by instigating and sanctioning the interference i his mercenary army of office holders in the elei lions for State and United States officers, and w behold them at this moment traversing the com try in every direction and endeavoring to s tooth er the voice of an indignant People. Ships of war arc ordered to ports where elections are about to be he’d, that tbeucrew s may be marched to the pvdls and overcome the vo'es of our c.tizens.— The harpies of the Custom Houses, whose name is legion and whose number has been increased to suit the occasion ; the pirates of the Post Of fice and the deputy marshals appointed to lake theeeusus, overspread the land like the locusts of Egypt, to influence control and overawe the ELECTIONS OF THE PEOPLE. He has retained in office PUBLIC DEFAUL TERS, with full knowledge of their delinquency, and after they had been repeatedly threatened with his “displeasure” for not rendering their accounts and paying over public moneys; he has nolonly permitted them to resign with the public treasure in their pockets, without punishment or exposure, but has appointed the successors whom they were pleased to recommend. Millions upon millions have hcc<i lost by the speculations of the receivers and collectors of the public revenue, exceeding in his administration the whole amount that had occurred previously since the adoption of the Constitution; and “public defaulter” has become as familiar to our ears as “ the spoils of victory.” He has trafficked the PUBLIC LANDS, the common heritage of all the citizens of America, for political support, and has sanctioned a system of rapacious plunder, alike violating the rights of the Slates and destructive of a fund adequate to the education of all the children in the United States. And that there might not be a single odious fea ture wanting, he lias recommended to Congress a plan for a standing army of 200,000 men, to consist of the miliiia of the Stales and to be call ed into the service of the United States, for the avowed purpose of being drilled and disciplined under officers of the Federal Government, in di rect opposition to the very words of the Constitu tion, which give to the States exclusively the pow er of training their militia and which limit the cases in which they ca., be called into the service of the United States, to those of insurrection, invasion and the execution of the laws. It is submitted to the People of the United States whether a ruler, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a heart : less, demagogue, whose protessions ot love for the I People arc equalled only by his acts of contempt ! and insolence, and by his measures to degrade and impoverish them, —is fit to be again elevated to the same station. From the Geo r gia Journal. Messrs. Editors. —As it is understood that the Harrson party will have a majority in both branches of the Legislature, permit us to suggest through your paper to the consideration of our Harrison friends of the Senate, the name of our worthy fellow-citizen and Senator, Gen. John N. Williamson, as one suitable to preside over the Senate. In addition to Gen. Williamson’s quali- j fications in every way to discharge the duties of President of the Senate, with credit to himself and to the State, he is one of the oldest members of the Senate, and is from a county that has been for a longtime firm in its supoort of republican ' principles. The citizens of Newton, for their firm support of Republican principles, claim nothing for having performed their duly to their country, yet when this county has a son whonas contributed as much as Gen. W. has to the ■ advancement of the principles of the constitution I Harrison and Reform, —and when he is as well ! qualified as any other spoken of, to discharge tne duties of a station so important as tr,al of Presi dent of the Senate, we hope that they will not be considered as presuming at all, in presenting through the press, for the consideration of that body, his name, as one who would do honor to the station.

Going up New Broad street yesterday, to look at Bartholomew Fair —famous in the annals of Raga muffinism —I saw a barefooted and bareheadedfel low, ghastly in visage and half covered in rags, eyeing me from the opposite side of the way with the rapacious look cl a hungry shark. As I came opposite him, he leaned forward, glared upon me, i and crossing the street with two or three long ; strides, laid a convulsive grasp on my arm, and , darling a wild look in my iace, ciied out, “ For G —d’s sake. Sir, have mercy upon me !” StarlL-d at such a salutation I tried to release myself—but in vain. “ What do you want ?” said I. “ A few pence—for I am staiving ” Notwithstanding England has more wealth, prob ably. than any other nation in the world, no incon siderable portion of its [ eople a,c mendicants. Some according to law', others against law. Some are gross and obtrusive in their manner of don g it, others modest and insinuating. Some are bog- . gars from necessity, others from custom: some ; made »o by misfortune, others are born beggars: some legitimate, others illegitimate: some w r ear j full-bottomed wigs and robes,others go bareheaded and in rags: some aie Royal beggais, some rascal ly: some Lords, some loafers. You meet them every where, and in all grades of society, from Prince Albert in his poney phaeton and six in : Hyde Paik, who begged £oo,oto for the privi lege of marrying the Queen, and got £30,000 down to “ the King ol the beggars’’ on his rickety ! sledge in Cheapside gutter, who asks the passen- : gers lor a penny, and “ gets more kicks than cop- I pers.” The former is so well known, that I need not pencil him. He is of that fortunate family, the Saxe Coburg, who “ win kingdoms in the mar- j riage bed.” The lattei—•“ the King of beggars” ; as he is called—may be met any day in the vicini ty of the Bank. He is a mo-t disgusting object, wears a woeful | countenance set ofl by a long, white, filthy beard, I and garments to match, has no legs, and diaws his aged form on a four-wheeled sledge whose axles almost touch the ground. He is one of the greatest villa : ns in London. Give him a sixpence, and lie showers you with blessi gs—decline, and a hearty curse is hurled at your head. Audacious and im portunate, he will chase you 100 yards if you re fuse to drop something into his tattered woolen cap, and will steal your pocket handkerchief if he can. He is the head of a numoio.is gang of beg gars who have their respective prowung districts, in various parts ot the city. They are mostly boys—some w’ith still knees, broken arms, or have lost a finger, or a father, or have a mother in New gate, or have not a bit of bread to-day, &c. &c. VVhoever may doubt these tales, none will ques tion v who sees them) that they are Oliver Twists in shadow leanness, and Jack Shepards in the em bryo villainy, which lurks under their eyebrows. Old Fagan reigns supreme in his ragged clan. He dresses them in some of the miserable clothing they have begged or pilfered, treats them with great cruelty, gives them mendicants’ fare, while he dines on ducks, roast beef, and “ the delicacies of the season.” The police haVc more than once ferreted out his den, and frightened him to compar ative decency for a few weeks, when he mar shals his fortorn hope and sallies forth. ° London furnishes more specimens of refuse hu manity than can be found in all ti e cities of the United States. Boz’s graphic portraitures have their rentable originals in hundreds of its alleys. Every day m the vicinity of the Post Of fice 3‘ou will meet a walking desolation in the shape of a tall, spare shred of manhood, with pale and gloomy visage, whose person is half exposed to sun and storm, notwithstanding the attempted shelter of his tattered garments, his feet bound up m masses of rags, who slowly stalks through the streets on crutches, with a placard hanging on his breast, bearing this inscription, “ a real case of distress.” Bet your eyes on him, and he will groan most piteouslv, and stietch out his bony h ind for charity. Turn away and he will pur sue you, hobbling by y our side, and filling your ear with his sonowiui tale, and your face with his inebriated breath—.,,-, till he discovers a po iceman. SI I,n i' oster was, not lung since, traced to his hiding place in one of the dark lanes of London, where he was found decently clad, and -eated round a lull board, discussing wild fowl, roast mutton, and Dublin stout, with half a score ol boon companions. Walking one iia< near the Tower, my eye .aas caught by some loathsome living object, lying in a pile on the sidewalk. On appioacning it, a wo begone fcrr.a e face peeped from under a covering of rag«. Her sunken eye was reAmg on a little in fant iying by her side almost naked, and her ema ciated finger pointing towards an inscription in chalk on the flag-stone, which read," I am reduced to the last extremity.” Even suspicion could not withhold a .esponse to sue: an appeal. Notwithstanding the great improvements made, chiefly through the influence of Lord Broughan, in the poor-law system of England, I have seen more beggars during my sojourn of lluce or four months in th s country, than I ever saw in the United States in my whole life. The causes are obvious. The people are taxed to death to support royally and rank, while the rate and tylho gatherer will sell the poor Dissenter’s last Bible (a literal truth) to support a Church Establishment which he repu diates. But, there is one species of mendicity in England deserving a universal reprooation, to which I cannot but allude. You have just settled your mil at a to'erablc hotel, at tnc rate of $5 per day, and are ru>hing through the hall, umbrella in hand, to mount the coach whose driver is shouting “ time is quite h’up.” You run over the waiter, jostle the chambermaid, tread on the porter, and are brought up all standing by the boots—each looking greedy and expecting, in the aggiega:c,a sum nearly equal to what would cover your entire bill at an American Hotel. You take your seat by the driver i who is dressed so finely that you hardly dare speak 1 to him during the ride. Before leaving you he tips his hat and asks you to “ remember ” him to the ; amount of half a down —for tiie privilege of Hav ing held his reins at every stopping place on the I route 1 rode with the dandy driver of the Dover Mail last week, who, on getting down at IX/Vcr, touch ed his hat to each passenger, and fcegg d for his gratuity with the same abjcctness, and po keted the shillings with, as much noncl alance as the King of Hie beggars aforesaid.

Professor Arndt, after being shut up in a for tress for twenty-one years, his struggles, his suf j ferings, and his name almost forgotten, has, we | learn by the German papers received last night, been restored to liberty. Young men will as!;, \vc are afraid, in Germany as they ask in Eng land, who is Arndt ? Four or five and twenty years ago, a professor of his name was t e terror j°f the German government. He was imprisoned ; not for his misdeeds but his popularity.—The I students sung his hymns to liberty, repeated his burning words, and frightened kings. By the pa triotic exertions of the Germans, the French were driven across the Rhine, and when they clai med their promised reward of a liberal constitu tions, they were answered with stripes, dungeons and fetters. Arndt, we believe, was one of those who felt most deeply the faithlessness of the king of Prussia, and most loudly and elaq !ently ■ expressed his indignation. For that he was im ! prisoned, and for that he has l>ecn kept in prison for twenty-one years. The present king us Prus i sia has the merit of releasing him, of restoring | him to his professorship, and of compensating ; him for a part of the pecuniary loss he has sus tained by liis imprisonment. But the tyrant who confined him could no more restore Arndt the years of which he deprived him, than he could | restore the dead to life. Arndt has been robbed of his fame, past all human power to give him redress. For twenty-one years he has been dead to Europe, and he comes forth from his dungeon only for men to ask, who is Arndt I — London Sun.

Slander our brave mechanics —they W ho»e hands are browned with honest labor— Mock their distress witli such sneers— Pass it from neighbor unto neighbor ! j Rough hewers ! thiow your chisels down ! Leave, Carpenters, your h.ilf-foivned dwellings, And with the thunderolyour votes— Vour indignation deep be telling. ; The blighting course they held as theirs, Do they not at this time pursue it ? And shall we ding unto their band, Wither our right arms e’re we do it! j Work harder ay I and to thy cost. In that thou canst not take a pari ir, { The hurling of thee from thy throne, Insulting, would- be monarch, Marlin. This saying, vulgar too! of thine, Tiiis coarse, ibitTate, shame-faced doctor, Who dares with ruffian tongue malign The glorious conqueror of Proctor, — We scour him—out his master owns The hate that is not due his minion, And to the white house, every breeze Shall Lear it on its waving pinion. Come from thy gilded palace-halls. Come Irom thy avenues, made wide, \\ it’.', sweat of ours:—in coach and six, On every horse a British rider. With thee let trusty Duncan come, .fresh fiom the lowest bar-room borders, Tocringe unto tby royal self. And patiently await thy orders. We*re poor, but honest too, thank God I Our limbs our sole and only coacnes, And we can sleep content at night. As thou canst not, without reproaches. We are nut slumbering now—out souls Arc ranged with those who lake to lead ’em. i he knowledge teat their cause is just, The cause of Harrison and freedom. Philadelphia, Sept. 13. IS4O.
