Bv the mail steamer Hibernia. Captain Ryrie, which
arrived here ihl* morning, from Liverpool, making the
passage in thirteen day* and sixteen hours, we have
advices from Liverpool ts the 19th September Lon
don 18th, Pari* Iflth, Dublin I7tb, and Havre 17th, a
! condensed summary of which we hsve submitted lo j

Well-founJed apprehensions of a failure in the Ame
rican Cotton crop have caused an increased demand
for the alsple in Liverpool, and prices have according
ly advanced a fa>tbing per pound.
The total failure of the potato crop appears to be a
•ad reality. Every where in Ireland, and in the great- I
er part nf the British laland, ihe potato fields ar j
ahrouriAl si ii the dark mantles nf the plague. The ■
vegetable his turned into putrid matter, which even ,
the hogs will not devour. From the continent of Eu- j
rope, including Ru-sia, w e have dismal accounts of the |
progress of the blight. The future use of the potato. !
as an article of food, is now almost abandoned.
At the la'eeMiates, 18th Sept., American flour was
’ setlim at twenty-nine shillings to thirty shillings per
f bbl., duty paid, at Liverpool. The price in bond, waa
twenty shilling* and elxpence.
Indian Corn was quoted three shillings the quarter
higher; and closed at f >rty shillings for yellow and
(orty-seven shilling* for white.

The advices per the Caledoniu arrived at Liverpool
on the evening of iha 13th Hept, and were delivered
early on the following morning.
Mo sooner had the contents become known than the
Holton market underwent a greet change. Specula

ble conjectures respecting the forthcoming crop, winch
the h tiers’end newspapers’ account from the United

soon turned it, entering and engaging with the enemy
in the street* if the city, having passed tliroug h an in

parapets, streets and house-tops of the city.
The real of the first battery was amm turned, and
the reverse fire of the troops proved very destructive.
The Ist division was nobly sustained by (lie Mississip

Two 12 pounders, one 4 pounder, and one howilzer, 3

principal officers of rank on either side accompanying

Bishop's P*i.*ck, Moxtebet, Sept. 24, 1849.
Gentkmen : —I date both my letters on one day. be
cause I atn obliged to foot up the news of the last four
days, having had no writing malerinls alotg. Un tho
morning of the 21st. Out. Child*, of the Artillery Bat
talion, wilh three nl bis ruimpanies—one commanded
by L'apt. Vinton, another by Cap). I. B. bcoit, and the
third by Lieut. Ayres and three companies of the Bth
infantry—company A, commanded by Lieut. Long
street and Lieut. Wainwrigbt; B company, Lt. Hol
lowav commanding, and Lieut. Merchant; D compa
ny, Capt. Mcrivner and Lieut. Mnntgnmsry—was or
dered to take the summit of Palace i I ill. The Col.
left camp at 3 o’clock, A. M., and climbed the moun
tain through the chaparral and Up the steep rocks, with
such secrecy that atday break he was within one hun
dred yards of the breast woik of sand bags before he
was discovered. The Mexicans poured their musketry
into them, hut they rushed up the precipice and soon
had tire place Three of the artillery men, having
rushed ahead too fast, found themselves in the hands
of the Mexicans. They surrendered f the Mciicans
took iheir inusk. ts and shot them down wilh ihe very
pieces ihev had eivt-n up. I saw the poor fellows ly
ing there.
1 have hut a few moments left to write in, and must
then fore defer the particulars of the s'orining ol tho
palace until I have more time. Col, Stamford went
up at daylight with tho balance of the Bih, and Maj.
Scott lead up the sth. The Louisiana hoys were on
the hill with the slh, at 8 o'clock. A. M. One of Dun
can's howi'xere. in charge of Lieut Rowland, was
dragged tin, or rather lifted up. and opened on tho pal
ace, which was filled with troops. The Mexicans
charged on the howitzer, hut were ‘riven hack. A
constant firo was kept up f'r several hou. particularly
by Blanehard’s men, who left a doxen Mexicans dead
upon the hill side. At length a charge was ordered,
and our men ru-hed down upon the palace, entered a
hole in a door that hud lieen blocked up but opened by
the howitzer, and goon cleared the work of the few
Mexicans who remained. Lieut. Ayres was the lucky
one who first reached ihe halyards and lowered the
flag. One 18 pound brass piece, a beautiful article,
manufactured in Liverpool in 1842, and a short hrags
12 pound howitzer, were captured, with a large quan
tity of ammunition, and gome mu-ki ts and lancea.—
The fort adjoining the palace walls is not completed,
but i very neatly constructed as far as it is built. The
killed on our side, in taking the palace, was seven—
wounded twelve. Wainwrigbt was wounded in the
arm and side by a musket ball, but will soon recover,
it rs hoped. Mr. John Francis, of ISew Orleans, be
longing to Blanchard’s company, was killed. Col.
Chidls, Capt. Vinton, Capt. Blanchard, Lieut. Long,
street, Lieut. Clark, (Adjt. of the 8;h) l.icut. Ayres,
Lieut. McCown. and the two Nicholls stem to have
lieen the heroes of thedsy. The Mexicans 10-t at least
thirty killed—twenty-one had been buried this morn
ing, and I have seen a number lying on Ihe hill side,
that were not discovned by our men when they brought
in the dead.
Y'eslerday morning the whole division unJer Gen.
VYoith entered the town on this side, and have been
fighting ever sines. The heart of the cily is nothing
but one fortification, the thick walls bring pierced for
muskets, and cann n being plac-d so as to rake the
principal streots. The roof's being flit, and the front
walls tising three or foui feet above the roof, of course
every affect has a line of lireustworka on each side.—
A ten-inch mortar esmu around from Gen. Taylor last
j evening, and it is now placed iu ttre largest plaza, to
j which our troops have fought step by step, arid from
house lo house. Duncan's batteries are in town, und
she pretent impression is that the place will soon be
taken. Gen. Worth has gained all the strongholds
that command the city, and has pushed the enemy as
fur as they can go without falling into Gen. Taylor's
hands on the oilier side ol the city. All this has been
1 dune wilh the loss of only about seventy killed and
wounded! Tile achievement is a glorious one—suf
fic ently so to satisfy the ambition of any man on earth.
I was expecting to see Gen. Worth lushing his men
into unnecessary danger in order to win for them and
him-elf great military fame, hut his conduct has been
very dlflerenl lioni this, ills great aluc'y haa been to
gam these commanding points with the least possible
sscrifice of life. At first it seemed totally impossible
1 to storm these heights -it looked like charging upon
the clouds—but it has been done. The Bishop's pal
ace. whnh is as strong sen Ins been represented to be,
lias been stormed and taken by our brave soldiers. 1
should ha>e staled that Col. Hays, with a hody of
his troops, nnd Captains Gilkrspfe aird McCulloch were
at the taking of the palace. Capt. Gillespie was mor
tally wounded, and died yesterday morning, regretted
by the whole arrjiv.
I carmol keep up, at all, wilh Ihe Rangers. Their
services Have been invaluable to Gen. Taylor born the
commencement of die campaign. They fight with all
the steadiness of eld soldier*—end are constantly on
the move. The country owes them moch for tlteir
noble cnndoct. I*y nothing, a* yet. about General
Taylor’# pioceedrngs on the other side of the town, be
cause the information I have received ia not well eu
thenlicated. Mr. Kendall and! both came out with
this division, neither knowing that the other was com
ing wilh it, until it wa too late to rsiurn, and there is
no commnnieatron between she divisions except by
armed bodies of men. The General lies, however,
taken three batteries near the town on the other side,
in doing which he lias lost about three hundred men.

A PROTECTIVE TARIFF,
W’e shall n it Cruder tha arguments in favor of
Protection, we shall not consider the policy either of
England or America, touching thiaquestion—but ainip
ly state what great men ill former days thought and
said on the subject.
Thomxs J efeersoiv, the reputed bell-wealher of De.
mocracy. so late as 1816, shouldered the whole ques
tion of Protection, ill a le’ter to Basz. Austkr, Esq.,
of which the fallowing is an extract:
••You tell me I am quoted by those who wish to con
tinue our dependence on Englan 1 for manufactures.
There was a time when I might have hem > q i ite 1

ol price, it will not be our fault if we do n thiv, ,
supply at home equal to our demand, an I w eat that
weapon of distress from the band which has so lung
i wantonly violated it.’ 1
JsMi.a Mailisox, an old fashioned Republican Pre.
idem, in his (list Meesitge lo Oongie-s, in 1808, usel
the I'oltoWifig strong and unequivocal language, in ref
erence to the question of Protection :
“ The revision of our commercial law* proper to a
dupt them to the airangernciil which has taken place
with Great Britain, will doubtless engage the eady at
tention of Congress. It will lie worthy, at the time us
j their just and provident cares, to make such further tl
t> ration! in tha law as Will more especially protect ami
foster the scrrrnlhrunches of manufacture, which have
lieen recently in-tituted dr extended by the laudable
exertions of otfr citizens.”
Mr. Ml'vrox, in his IhaugnrXl Address, went the
whole figure of Protection, and again advocated it in
his Message! to Congress. So did Gen. Wxjrijgs
Tin, But both nl these men have been charged with
FcdcsaUsm — we therefore f ass them by, and take up
Gen. J tcßstrV, whose Democracy will not be called in
question. Gen. Jaeltson was in the U. 8. Senate,
in 1824, arid voted for a strong Protective Tariff, ami
while that very bill was pending, he wrote as follows,
to Dr. Golem.m, of Ilurlti Carolina:
“ So far os the Tariff before US embrace* the design
of fo-ieiino and preserving within ourselves the ntisns

This Tariff of 1834, which passed the Senate bv t
