' Three Hays Later from England. ‘ The packet ship Oxford, Captain Kathbone, * arrived this morning from Liverpool, whence she I sailed ou the Slat of October, bringing advices x from that port three days later than were received by the Great Western. 1 The intelligence by this arrival is of precisely 1 the same character ns that by the Great Western; and indeed it could not be expected that two \ days would produce any change of moment The worst feature of it is the continued decrease ' of specie in the coffers of the Bank of England, « as shown in the quarterly average. | Wo quote an article from the London Specta- f tor, in which it is stated that application has been made for an order in council authorising the issue of one pound notes. The same state- p ment was made in papers brought by the Great f Western. Mr. Stevenson, the American minister, and 8 bis lady, were on a visit to the Earl of Fitzwil liam at his seat in Yorkshire. No further progress seems to have been made in settling the affairs of Turkey and Egypt. i Letters from Constantinople say that Rescind ( Pacha was holding frequent conferences with the Russian ambassador, and that hr had declared c his determination to stand by the treaty of Unkiar I in all its parts. | BANK OP ENGLAND.

I have placed in the hands of the Committee of Accounts, all the vouchers connected with the expenditures of public monies placed in my hands by a special order of the 7th of September last, and that committee arc prepared to report to your body. Any information on the branches of public duties with which I have been recently connect ed, will be cheerfully given, when required, by Your most ob’t. serv’t., A.

And the Chair named Messrs. Parish, Dye, D’Antignac and Thomas, the committee. The Committee appointed at the last meeting of Council to memorialize the General Assem bly of Georgia, on the subject of the improve ment of the navigation of the Savannah river, report the annexed memorial. To the Hon. the General Assembly of the Stale of Georgia; The memorial of the City Council of Augusta, respectfully represents, That much inconvenience to the inhabitants of said city, as well as to a large number of the citizens of said State trading to it, has resulted at various times, but more especially 'urlng the past summer and present fall months, from the interruption of the important navigation of the Savannah river, in consequence of the several sand brrs, which are found in that stream at the Sister’s Reach, at Hershman’s Lake, at the Long Reaches, at Flowery Gap, Point Comfort and Demary’s Ferry, and at various points between Silver Bluff and Augusta; the whole of which shallow bars if united, would not much exceed two miles in length, and could be rendered suffi ciently deep for the purpose of navigation, by light boats at least, at all times, at a very moderate expense compared with the importance of the ob ject. No attempt to improve any of these bars has ever been made, except by the River Commis sioners who were acting in the year 1829, who made improvements at Course’s and Miller’s Bars, which made the water there, before too shallow, sufficiently deep for all ihe purposes of river navigation, without causing any injury in other places; and ten years experience has proved that the improvement was permanent. Some partial improvement was also made at the Long Reaches, but the work there was never finished. The City Council make this application in obedience to the unanimous desire of a large number of their fellow citizens in Town Meeting assembled, and respectfully request that it may meet that favorable consideration from the Hon orable the General Assembly, which its impor tance to so large a portion of the citizens of Geor gia would seem to insure. Which was received, and the Clerk directed to have the same drawn off for the signature of the Mayor. Council then adjourned to meet on Tuesday evening next at 7 o’clock. S. H. OLIVER, Clctk. From the New Orleans Picayune of the 9lh. Latest from Mexico— The schooner Doric* from Tampico, and the schooner Southerner, from Matamoras, arrived yesterday. They have brought advices to the 30th ult., and specie amoun ting to #158,000, consigned to various mercan tile houses in this city. Large amounts of specie were daily arriving at Tampico and other frontier towns, from the interior. Haifa million of dollars had been lately ship ped at Tampico for New York. The French brig Fanny, from Bordeaux, was cast away near Vera Cruz, on the 3d Oct. Her captain, Lalande, a lady passenger, and one of the sailors, were drowned. The last instalment (#200,000) of the indem nity to France, has been paid over to the French Consul at Vera Cruz. Col. Twiggs, and Adjutant Asheton, of the 2nd Regiment U. S. Dragoons, arrived here, via Charleston, a day or two since. Capt. W. W Fowler, Lts. N. B. Lawton, and Wm. Hardia with companies A. E.&H. arrived on Thursday in the packet ship Hilah, Capt. Hammond, from New York. m Companies G. I. & K., with the band of the regiment, may soon be expected in the ship Tren- I ton, ('apt. Bennett, from New York. Col. Twiggs, Capt. Fowler, Lieuts. Lawton & Hardia, with companies A. E. & H., left vester day afternoon, in the steamer Gen. Cline], for Garey’s Ferry.— Savannah Georgian. "’w - Ni Surgical OrnnATtoN.—The curious surgi cal operation of supplying the loss of a nose vfas performed at Albany last week, by Professor March, of the Medical College, with complete success. In this case the patient’s nose was en tirely gone, and its loss was supplied by detach ing sufficient skin from the forehead, leaving it connected between the eyebrows, and bringing down, and moulding it into the form of a nose, the raw and bleeding surface being closely applied ■ to a similar raw surface made upon the margin of the former nose, to which adhesion is effected. The Albany Argus adds that the patient is a res ident of that city, and sustained the painful and tedious operation with signal fortitude, and at its term nation rose from the operating table, and walked into an adjacent room, whence he soon re moved to his house and thus far is doing well, and every confidence is entertained of its complete success. This operation is an instance of the triumph of surgery over the worst of deformities inflicted by disease, and by its success reflects the highest honor on the operator, as well as the pro fession.—Baltimore American. A new toast.— ln Worcester, Mass., at an Agricultural meeting, the following toast was giv en :—“ Mouus Multicaulis. —A tough name for a tender tree. Though it has worm’d itself into the affection of many, may they never find themselves hit by a caterpillar, nor see their hopes fly away on the wings of a butterfly.” Bam Slicks’ Description of a Tee total lf,r. —I once travelled through all the State of Maine with one of them ’ere chaps. He was as thin as a whippin’post. His skin looked like a blown bladder after some of the air has leaked out, kinder wrinkled and rumpled like, and his eye as dim as a lamp that’s living on a short al lowance of ile. He put me in mind of a pair of kitchen tongs, all logs, shaft, and head, and no belly; real gander-gutted lookin’ critter, as holier as a bamboo walking-cane, and twice as yalicr. He actilly looked as if he had been picked off a rack at sea, and dragged through a gimlet hole. He was a lawyer. Thinks I, the Lord a massy on your clients, you hungry, half-starved looking critter, you ; you’ll eat ’em up alive as sure as the Lord made Moses. You are just the chap to strain at a gnat and swallow a camel, tank, shank, and flank, all at a gulp. Prospf.cts of Baltimore. —The Hon. Louis McLane, who returned in the Great Western, has, it is said, made such an arrangement with the Maryland Slate Bonds, for their #3,000,000 subscription to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, as will enable the Company to con tinue these great works of internal improvement. There is an irrepressible enterprise and courage ous perseverance in Maryland and Baltimore, which command our admiration. The city knows her position, and she is determined to take advantage of it, and to have a great portion of the west. She may have too the south, for if a ship canal were cut across the Delaware Penin sula, or the present sloop one so enlarged, there would rise up on the Delaware River, by New Castle, a port of shipment in the north, that would rival any place in America. The inland trade by Norfolk, Petersburg, Lynchburg, Rich mond, the Potomac, James, and all the rivers in fact of the Chesapeake and the valley of the Ohio and Susquehannah (the latter bearing off the great coal and iron resources from the heart of the Key Stone,) would seek as high a point of concentra tion as possible before shipment to Europe, that would be Baltimore, and the point on the Dela ware for the departuie of her shipping. Can this Le true? We copy from the St. Louis Pennant: We have heard the paiticulars of a most un natural murder, which is said to have been com mitted, very recently, on board a steamboat, from this city, on the Missouri river. It appears that that the boat had laid by at some place, and one of the hands was ordered by the Engineer to en ter the boilers and clean them ; he objected, stat ing that they were not yet sufficiently cool. For this he was first severely beaten, and then com pelled to enter the koileis—in a few minutes af forwards he was taken out a corpse, having been literally baked to death. Loss of Steamboat Elk —The Steamboat Elk, was snagged on the 18th ult. about a hun dred miles above St. Louis, and sunk. The boat and cargo are a total loss. She was insured for nine thousand dollars. Another Boat Snaooep. —The Steamboat Camden, on her downward passage, when near Newport, about one hundred miles above St. Louis, ran against a snag, and sunk in about eight feet water. She was heavily freighted. It was thought her cargo would be a total loss, and doubts were entertained in regard to the boat it self. The Camden is owned in St. Louis. Important to Farmers — A farmer of Long Island writes that the half-bred Durham cattle arc better suited to bear the extremes of heat and cold which they will be exposed to in this climate, than the pure Durham, as their skins are thicker, and their coats closer and longer than the pure breed. The milking qualities of the heifers bred in this way arc almost beyond belief, some of them milking forty, and even fifty quarts a day of rich fine milk. The following article which we extract from an exchange paper, is distinguished for its truth and point. We publish it in hopes it may tickle the fancy of some of our kind friends who are in ar rears. The Printer’s Soliloquy. ’Tis strange, ’tls prodigious strange, 1 hat our subscribers are so careless grown In paying their arrears. They cannot think 1 hat we alone, who publish to the world News from all nations, and delight to spread I seful instruction through our spacious land Can meanwhile live on air; ’tis flesh and blood lliat works the press, and turns the blacken’d sheet, Well stored and ready for their eager eyes, This flesh and blood must be recruited oft. As well as theirs, or else the press must stop ; This calls for cash. And then how manj- reams Os papers are struck off'and scattered wide, For which no length of credit will be given. If given at ail—besides the type and ink. And many things required by those who print, ror which our money must be answerable. Oh ! that our readers would consider this : And while they, laughingly, looking our paper o’er, r r And gather information from its pages, Oo I not owe for one, two, three or four Years past the printer who supplies me with I his sheet And, oh ! that he would only add “ I will go even now and pay him.” So should we Well p'eased receive,and with lightheart pursue.
