The lOndon Gonesputi lent of the .'few York
Courier, writing under date of IDthult., furuislies
the following information respecting the state of
American stocks in that capital:
Money Is abundant, but i red it becoming dailv
more did’i mil In be obtained—and the general
mans ol American securities arc certainly not
risin gin value on the Clock Kxeliangc. The
principal cause of the depreciation of the Slates
and other trans-alkinlie securities, is in the contin
ual and unabated influx of new bonds of ail des
cription, which arc daily coining forward lo an
extent which oppresses the market—and carries
down the prices of the best of the trails-all inti
slocks. Amongst other securities which have
been announced within the bast few days, is a loan
on the city of Charleston, called the Fire Loan
Ailh which Mr. McDuffie, the Intel overnor of
Booth Carolina, has arrived at Liverpool—lint
without having yet transmitted the exact particu
lars of his mission to any of the parlies on the
Loudon slock fix change.
The gentleman who lately came charged with a
similar mission from the State of Michigan has
very prudently gone forward lo Amsterdam and
Hamburgh, in order to uncertain the state of the
money markets of those cities, and the probability
of obtaining better (onns than in London, where
the market is so overwhelmed with similar securi
ties at the present time.
The South Carolina loan, which General Hamil
ton ncgocintcd recently here, ocs off, however, very
well, at the rale at which it was negociated, and
there would he no difficulty in negotiating any fair
and average amount of such securities at good pri
ces in the London market, if the inundation wore
not so excessive, as to throw so decided a damp
over the whole mass of transatlantic bonds. The
Pennsylvania Rail Road Company have taken up
a sum of ,€83,000 sterling on mortgage of the
line from Philadelphia to llarrisburg'n and Lan
caster— the contractors being the Messrs. Solomon
—eminent Hebrew gentlemen in this city—and
the contract price being 84. The rate lor this
last named sum is obviously so low, and the sacrifice
of capita! so large, lo the Company who have bor
rowed the money from I lie Messrs. Solomon, that
no clearer instance could be found of the impolicy
of so excessive tt number of applications from
America, which continue to come forward in the
face of transactions of a very disheartening kind.
Another ease which is frequently alluded to by
the brokers—as illustrating the consequences of
the excessive supply of American security, is that
of the Life & Trust Company, the stock of which,
without any distinct cause for the change, other
than the general state of the market, has fallen
not less than six per cent, within the short period
of six months—one gentleman assuring me that
the largo sum of £30,000 in one transaction has
r oeully hocnolfcred at 87 ; a lepreeiation of even
half per cent, beyond even the quotations—ami for
no particular reason in the circumstance of the
security itself. Under these circumstances, it
cannot he impressed too strongly upon the parties
requiring money lor the United Slates, and par
ticularly the western stales, that the London mar
ket is decidedly unfavorable for their purposes at
the present time; and that by withholding their
applications for a period, the terms will be ulti
mately much more favorable—when the pressure
may have been found lo have, abated, and the
market lighter of transatlantic bonds.
From the A . V. Courier .f Knquirer, rs the
Important from Washington*
We 1 ■ ini from a source which mac be railed on,
that on Monday la«t a gentleman of Idglt diame
ter, wailed upon the President of the United
Stales, and laid before him loiter;. d 'uments. iSa*.
&c, which he had received from Francs and v,
were intended to prove, that the expedition now
titling out in France ostensibly against d/i.c.V;) is
in reality intended against the Island of Cuba!
The communication is said to have excitedconsid
crahle uneasiness nt Washington, but we arc sure
unnecessarily. France well knows that such a
proceeding would he looked upon as a Declaration
of War against the United Blatcs, and Great
Britain and treated accordingly,and therefore, can
not entertain the idea.
After all, is it certain this expedition is intended
la act in this hemisphere 1 It is ordered to rendez
vous (it Co Uz. A.*w if Vc ra Cruz be its object or
any other Mexican port, we should have thought
that Guadaloupe or Martinique would be a more
mutual place of rendezvous, either being but ;> lew
days soil from the contemplated scene ol oj erati n s.
At any rate, there they will have to go, should
Mexico be the object in view. It is impossible for
a large squadron, eompo* ed « f vessels differing in
their rate of sailing ami steam ships, to cross the
Atlantic and arrive on the battleground in that
i order which is necessary toad with ellicacy. They
must have some ad jacent place where they can
marshall their forces and arrange their plan of at
tack. The British expeditions to a distant point
always found the observance of this rule ncccßsaiy.
Jamaica, it will bo recollected, was the place of
I rendezvous for the forces which at vked New Or
■ leans.
: And what can France expect to gain from (he
1 most suce> slid operations against Mexico! We
■ of course consider the idea of marching on the
- city of Mexico, or erecting a monarchy there under
r a French prim e, which we have seen suggested,
ns ehemerieat as the idea that the expedition sjio
-1 ken of is intended i > take possession of Cuba.
Bupposo France possess herself of the Castle of
.* Ban Juan do I lion and even of the city of Vera
1 Cruz, she \\ ill !c as far from bringing is’ men who
I compose the Government of Mexico to terms us
ever, whilst the climate will make fearful havoc
. among her forces. (Suppose she lay Tampico in
- ashes, the men in power in Mexico will look on
i with indilVercnce. The truth is, the weakness of
f Mexico is her strength. There bei; gno \iudiiv
-j in any part of her system,it is impossible to strike
> at a vita! point.
li the first instance we believe that Louis Phil
lipj"* he* been di rei' ed I y the rep,e-r:ndinr.s of
t lit' French Agiin Mexico t.o apt to overrate
- the terror inspired by French power and not to es
timate sufficiently the obstinacy—stupid enough
sometimes—which the Mexicans have inherited
' from tin ir Spanish ancestors. But he is 100 sa
-1 gaciou Prince to persevere in error. He cannot
v fail to perceive that Ida first demonstrations oi re
. sentim nt have not produced the elli ct he was led
to expect. He eumiut fail to peiver. e that his new
' system of blocked is about to meet with serious
5 resistance from England and the United States,
and li ■ will find, we think, that one half the money
which the cont> mpL.ted expedition to Mexico will
I cost, expended am.m o;', the men who now hold
the i dims of c-'V. rn.iient in .tico, would obtain
more from him then any exertion of his power.
That power, however; may possibly still be dis
’ played before the Castle of San Juan. Bat before
r it attempt to strike, Louis Phillijtpe’s money will
. hare obtained enough to satisfy the often abused
, terms of French honor and French glory, and
there the matter w!U end. This at least appears
| to us the most probable solution of the diliiculty.
From the New Orleans Courier, of the 24 th.
Important from Mexico.
On Monday we published an extract of a letter
from Mexico, stating that the Federal party had
been put down, and some of its principal leaders
arro ed. Th: i may he true, as regards the capital;
but we have accounts now which shew that the
■ insurgi iits were at lees! masters of one of the prin
' cipal ■,ijior! The following particular:, have
been communicated to us.
On the Bth of October the garrison of Tampico
rose in arms and pronounced in favor of the con
stitution of 1824, Lieutenant-colonel Montenegro
• was chosen temporary commander of the place.
The farmer governor,general Jose dc las Pietros
> mid several oilier officers, were taken into custody
mid embarked on hoard the Danish brig Adelaide.
After getting to sea, these officers were landed at
; the Brasses b't. Jago.
The revolutionists count on (ho influence of Don
’ Vital F V ‘minder,, a former governor of the state of
i Tainaulipas. They have with them, Don Maguel
Nonces, a very popular and influential man, lately
chief of Pueblo V iejo. They have 1500 men nu-
I der arms, and arc in communication with general
Urrca, who began this revolution in the West,
, mid is one of the ablest generals in the Mexican
, service.
On the 11 til or 12th of October, general J’icdros
reached Malmnoras, and induced the Mexican
general at 1 hut place, to march with 1500 men,
lor the purpose of attacking the federal party in
Tmmudipas and Tampico.
The collector of (his port, lias politely favored
us with the sight of a letter from Tampico, con
finning the new; of the above revolution, and ad
■ ding that a strong parly in the interior of Mexico

concludes .by expressing a wish that one of our
vessels of war may soon appear oil’ Tampico.
We have been favored with a copy of a letter
from 'Tampico, to a respectable mercantile house
in this city, of which the following is a translation:
Tampico, Oct. 7.
We have (o inform you that last night our gar
rison pronounced for the re-establish in cut of the
Federal government; and that general Piedras,
who was in command here, is going with several
oilier ofth ers to your city, in the vessel which car
ries this, having been driven oifby the revolution
ists.
We know not if the revolution lias its ramiflea
lions in the interior, but it is thought it has.—ls
ties is so, and the troops here arc seconded by oth
ers, Iho present government of Mexico must fall,
and we shall have an arrangement with France.
Every thing has passed oil’ here in the greatest
order.
We have no vessel lo blockade us > As soon as
one appears, the revolutionists intend to let (he
captain know what they have done, and beg him
not to prevent vessels coming in, as we are now
in a slate of rebellion against the general govern
ment.

Money Market—City News.
Wednesday, P. M.
The weather lias been sa excessively stormy
that all out door sales have been wholly suspen
ded, and the Exchange was but thinly attended.
The holders of Flour put up the price. 12c cts. on
a bbl—but very little was done.
Stocks, it will bo seen, have all declined. They
have not, however, fallen back quite to the point
they stood at three days ago.
There is quite a demand to-day for Southern
Domestic Exchanges, particularly for New Orleans
and Mobile. Exchange on the former will sl’H
readily at 2 per cent, discount, and on the latter
at only 5 per cent. Mississippi not quite as fresh;
sales at (U. On Tennessee the rate stands at SA.
There is no improvement on bills oi ihc Bran
don Bank, they are selling at all rales, lrom4o to
50 per cent.
The Havre packet that was to sail to-day is de
tained on account of the weather.
We announced that the proprietors of.the Liv
erpool Line of Packets had commenced charging
tw,cily-fivc cents a letter; since then the price has
been altered lo twelve and a half cents. This is a
rate as low that no person ought lo object lo it.
Neither the London or the Havre Lines, however,
made any chat <
Notvvitli handing the abundance of money.
IStock'i have been running down for the hist two
months. Solid Stocks have been less aif'cled Bum
any other. The flinch;:-, as they are termed, have
all tumbled.
Unit'd ;:eles Bank s liarcs were quick in Lon
don, and large at 25/. 3s. 6d.—which, with
exchaug. added of 9 A per cent., is 1221 percent.;
thus paying a profit to the person who remits it of
full 2 per cent., as the rate is in this market 120.
Notwithstanding the incessant attacks that have
been made on this institution for years past, —the
charge of insolvency, by the late President, —the
suspension of specie payments,—the charge of im
mense losses iii llicir cotton speculations,—Mr.
Biddle’s want of principle of head and heart—
capitalists on both sides of the water still continue
to have mulimiiiished confidence in the soundness
■ of (lie institution, and the good management of its
' olliees. The stock advanced higher than any oth

A fracas occurred yesterday afternoon, at the,
Trempnt House, which might have been fatal. As
the subject will be made a matter of Police Court
primary investigation this afternoon, wo shall not
repeat the thousand and one stories which are
afloat, nor attempt to make a connected and un
substantiated narrative out of them. It must be
sufficient, for the present, to say that Mr. J. D.
Delano, of New York, and Mr. George P. Tim
mins, ot Charleston, IS. C., having fought a light
ol words, the latter became so much exasperated
that he discharged a bullet-loaded pistol at the for
mer, and the ball—happily for both parties—miss
ed its object, and buried itself in the wall. To
morrow tlio whole story will be reported on the
evidence given this afternoon Bouton Transcript
of Wednesday.
Execution.—The Charlottesville (Va.) Advo
cate of the fld instant, states that the two negroes,
Lucinda and Andrew, lately convicted in Path
county, of the murder of Mr. Mayse’s children,
were executed, agreeably to their sentence, at the
M arm Springs, on the 24th ultimo, A gentleman
who was present states that they persisted to the
last, in denying all agency in (be murders. It is
also stated, that the girl, on whose testimony chiefly
those slaves were convicted has since her acquittal
confessed that she alone committed the murders—
but if this bo the fact, it is presumed but little reli
ance could be placed in such confession, as from
her size and tender age, there is little probability
that she could have perpetrated the horrid acts—
besides there was abundant other circumstantial
evidence to warrant the conviction, independent
of the girl’s statement on the trial.
The Mormons.— From all we can gather from
the St. Louis papers, it seems that a bloody busi
ness with the Mormons seems inevitable. An
express had been received in that city, and it was
thought the military would bo called out by the
Governor. The Republican of the 13th states,
that on the Tuesday preceding, when (he steam
boat Pirate arrived near Dewit, the Anti-Mormons
were still in lorcc in the neighborhood of that
place. The Pirate lay at Greenville, seven miles
about! Dcwit, on Tuesday night. At that time
information had come in, that the Anti-Mormons
bad given their opponents notice that they must
take up their line of march next ntornin at 8
o’clock. This the Mormons refused to do.
wan reported also, that the Anti-Mormons had
sent word to the Mormons, that if they w ould
colled their women end children in one house
that house should not be fired on. As the Pirate
d down on W Ini rdnj morning, by Dewtt,
a flag was seen flying over one of fire lorgaist
bouses there. From all appearances, there is
reason to believe that a conflict took place on that
day, V- ; ’n : d iv, tl e 10th.— N. 0, Picayu i; .

The Philadelphia Gazette, in mentioning the
1 death in fling Sing prison of Walter F. Osgood,
• late a lawyer of lhe city of New York, says—
This prisoner, if wc mistake not, was relative by
marriage, of the family of Dc Witt Clinton.—
The shock of his crime among his kindred was,
overwhelming. It plunged them all into the
■ deepest affliction. Shortly after his trial and
sentence, his sister, slung with his disgrace, and
mourning for his fate, killed herself, and laid her
’ bruised and broken heart in the grave, .before he
’ went to prison.
Such arc the evil fruits that spring from the
overweening hunger and thirst for gold,—which
’ mal-e not only misers and overrcachers, but
' criminals of every degree. Loved unduly, that
“slave of the dark and dusty mine” empties more
plagues upon the paths of men, than were em
braced in all the vials of the Apocalypse.
