Every arrival from England, brings additional
evidence, of the sensation produced there by our
late Tariff. The manufacturer is not backward
jn execrating it, —it cuts short his profits ; the
ooerative condemns it—ft throirs him out of em
■fop The merchant says it is ruinous— it les
sens the amount and profit of his shipments. The
had holder abominates it—it checks the prosperi
ty of the manufacturing establishments, andcon
?eouently, lessens their ability to purchase his
-reduce. And the English politicians represent
ing all these interests, declares the Americans
ir e mad to pass such a law. Now the anti-tarif.
htes of this country, seize upon every ebulition o*
English discontent, as an unanswerable argument
igainst the propriety of the measure. As if the
English weavers knew better what best comport
ed with American interests, than American states
men do themselves ; and as if we were willing to
govern ourselves entirely by their advice *. Now
tlie English politicians, the English merchants,
and the English manufacturers, all declare the
American Tariff a ruinous measure. Vet, before
we give entire credit to the assertion, will it not
fce well enough to enquire, whether it is meroly
ruinous to their interests, or ours : It is the duty
of or: government to look only to the interests of
cur own people ; and if our interests are protcct
c!. it is not their fault if the prosperity of Great
L’.-.iu'n be checked. And notwithstanding the
freaking of cur disunion politicians, we have yet
r ui no c t iuv-r.ee that any of the leading interests
of.as country have materially suffered by the
Tariff. Two facts arc abundantly proven by the
English price currents, directly in the teeth of al)
the prophecies of our wise economists ; viz- the
pue es cotton has advanced, whilst the price oy
English manufactures have receded in the London
end La erpool markets. This is the true secret of
English discontent ; and these facts have con
vinced them of the ruinous effects of our Tariff.
But what may be ruinous to them, may not ne
cessarily be so to us.
Notwithstanding the many resolutions which
Bare been passed at the Anti-Tariff meetings,
v-'hiskey dinners, and homespun harbacues reeom
lr.pndir.g the passage of a law prohibiting the in
h.'ducti.ui of Northern Manufactures, and West
tin hogs, h uses, 4 C - we can scarcely believe that
tur leading politicians, will in seriousness atempt
such a measure. These things may be talked of
for the purpose of exciting an angry feeling a
pin&t ether sections of the country, but w% be
h've our politicians have too much sagacity, to at-
t n rtq>t to put these threats in force. A large por
tion of the people of this slate, have for many*
ytarspueen dependent upon the W eslern States for
bviir supplies of bacon; and as this article
f lu3 basis of subsistence, for the great
body ot tliU people; and as a sufficient sup
fly cannot bo 4 created at home, within
£ tow months or even a few years; a law
prohibiting a supply from abroad, would pro
r lccc immediate and extensive distress among the
and poorer classes. And this state of
sutienng would produce a re-action in public opin
lolk sufficiently powerful to hurl from power, any
l”fty or set of men, who might have had aiiy a-
Ipuey in bringing it about. r J his our politicians
1 ust foresee; and whatever stump orators may
- a y at electioneering meetings, or partizans as
over their whiskey—yet the consequence ot
,ite Pleasure will fce regarded when it comes to be
tiamined before the Legislature.
- have no doubt that true policy would dic
to our Planters, to produce as much within
* ‘selves, and to depend as little upon foreign
sli Pplic >, possible. But to prohibit the introduc
hwi of ankles of prime necessity —provisions in
paiheufcr, from abroad, before they can be pro
uaccd at home, would be an net as unwise, as
u v, °uld be oppressive to the poor. The rich, in
who might soon produce articles to sell,
r ut find an advantage in such a law, but the
stress arising from it would be general and
tensive.

Accident. —\esterday afternoon about 2 o’clock,
as the steam boat Superior was on her trip from
Arch street wharf to Wilmington, (Del.) and just
as she was passing Chesnut street wharf, she ran
down a small boat that was crossing from Smith’s
Island to the city. In the small boat were a fe
male passenger and an old black man, named Mil
ler, who was rowing. The female, by much exer
tion, was saved, but Miller was drowned. The
boat was knocked to pieces. We understand that
the steam boat came to immediately on learning
the unfortunate accident.— Balt, paper.
Melancholy Accident. On the 22d ult. a lad
about 13 years old, by the name of William Ma
nagh, having for his amusement constructed a
small raft of rails, a little above the falls at Mid
dlebury, Vt. in order to cross the creek, pushed
it from the shore; the raft came to pieces before
he proceeded far, and the current being swift, he
was precipitated over the falls before any assist
ance could reach him. His body had not yet been
discovered.
Police. —On Saturday evening a man calling
himself Rogers, but whose name is Wilson, con- ;
victed of forgery, and who escaped from King’s
county jail in December, was on Friday taken up
in this city, by an officer who followed him from
Newark. On this fellow were found Bank Bills
to the amount of about $(>,000, and a draft for
$2,100 on the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Bank in
Philadelphia.* It is to be hoped that Wilson will
be secured.—.V. V. Gdz.
Law, the perfection of human reason. —A bill
was lately introduced into parliament, by which it
was directed that a penalty of fifty pounds was to
be levied for the commission of a certain offence ;
which penalty, it was provided, should be equally
divided between the informer and the church war
den of the parish in which the offence might arise.
When the bill was committed, the penalty of fifty
pounds was changed to transportation for seven j
years; but the other parts of the bill remaining un- ,
altered, it now enacts, that the said penalty of
transportation for seven years shall be equally di- \
vided between the churchwarden and the infor
mer. — Dublin Mer. Adver.
Anoother new and splendid Packet Ship. —The
elegant ship Francois Ist, built by Messrs. C.
Bergli & Cos. for the proprietors of the Old Line
of Havre packets, and commanded by capt. Wm.
Skiddy, being completely tinished, and nearly
loaded for her first voyage, was visited yesterday
by hundreds of our merchants and other citizens,
who were entertained with refreshments of the
rarest and choicest kinds. This ship is of the bur
then of 500 tons, and is built of the best materials.*
The main cabin contains 26 births, and there is a
cabin for ladies with four births. The state rooms
are supported by 36 columns of fine Italian marble,
with ionic caps. The panneling and other wood
work is of the finest birdseye maple, satin wood,
rose wood, mahogany, elm, and American oak, and
the cabin furniture is ot’ the richest kind. On
the bow is a full length figure of the king whose
name she bears, the founder of the city ot Havre.
A full spread Eagle covers the sofa in the after
part of the main cabin, over which is placed the
library. Upon the whole, the Francois Ist, if not
the most superb, will certainly take rank with the
first rate of our elegant packets.— Boston paper.
Execution. — Edward Sisclear, for the
minder, of John Stafford, was executed at St.
Augustine, on the 28th ult. He confessed his
guilt.and warned the people against the evil prac
tice of intemperance,which had caused him to im
brue bis hands in blood of a fellow creature.

The proceedings of President Cooper's boys,
relative to the tariff’, make a very pretty appear
ance in the Loudon papers. It must astonish the
people in England to observe such evidences of |
intellect in the Americans—especially as the rod

tain, w here such a “ barring-out” should take
place.— United States Gazette.

Wilksbarre, Aug. 22.
Hezekiah Parsons, esq. of this place has now
in operation at his saw mill, a machine for making
shingles, which, it is said, surpasses every thing
of the kind yet invented. The shingles made
by this machine are all the way of a thickness, and
we are informed, by an experienced Carpenter,
that they are better than those of the common
shape. The young man who erected the machine
informed us that he had made 80 shingles with it
in a minute —80,000, he said could be made m a
day. If these shingles do answer as good a pur
pose as the common kind, it is probable the price
of that article will be greatly reduced, in conse
quence of the facility m making them by water
power.

A report has reached the city, of the death of

FROM RIO DE JANEIRO.
By Capt. Ellis, late of the brig John London,
who came passenger in the ship iuon, arrived
yesterday, evening from Rio Janeiro, we learn
that on the 17th June, as the jouenos Ayrean arm- !
ed brig ot war Gen. Brandizen, Commodore De j
Kay, was on her way up the River Plate,for Bue- 1
nos Ayres, she fell in with the Brazilian brig of j
war Niger, when after a severe fight the Niger!
iiauled off; -her Captain and first Lieutenant :
wounded, several men killed and wounded, and j
her rigging much injured. Soon after the en- [
gagement the General B. was fallen in with by i
the whole Brazilian squadron, driven on shore and
completely 1 destroyed. Com De Kay, with most
ofhis crew, made their escape to the shore and
manned a fort, when a most bloody battle ensued,
Commodore Norton, of the Nictero frigate, was
badly wounded, having lost an arm. The brig
Constantia was totally destroyed, with nearly all
the crew, also the brig Second July, and most of
her crew. The Brazilians lost two commanders,
several lieutenants and midshipmen had 120 men
wounded, and the number of killed very great.
Mr. Roberts, of this city, an officer of the Gen. B
with about 20 men, were taken prisoners, but af
terwards paroled. The Captain of marines was
killod, the loss otherwise very trifling. About
the Ist of June, the B. A. brig 8 of Febuary,Com
De peer, was captured by the Brazilian squadron,
and most of her crew destroyed, after an engage
ment of nearly seven hours, with nine sail of the
enemy.
In a debate in the French Chamber of of Depu
ties, July 14, upon the proposition of a grant to
the Minister of the interior of 1,815,040 francs
lor llaras (Studs) in riding schools ; a proposi
tion was made to reduce the appropriation, as un
necessarily large—it was stated that most of the
money was wasted upon extravagant establish-*
nients—the Government had but? 1266 stallions,
whilst the foals cast evry year was 2 00,000. A
reduction 0f42,500f. was, however, finally carri
ed.
M. Syrieys de Mayrenhab, director of the i/ar
ras, replied, that France could now suffice for the
supply of horses for her cavalry, without going a
broad f 0 r them. Since 1824, the importation had
diminished, whilst, on the other hand, the expor
tation had been doubled. The Hon. Director then
cited a number of facts to show that racing had
been encouraged and added, that since 1825,
there had baen a saving of 50,000 fr. effected in
the Administration of the Haras. He could not
accede to the reduction proposed.
NEW BEDFORD, [Mass.] Aug. 29—Mr. Rey
nolds, a gentleman of established scientific reputa
tion, and whose name has recently become identi
fied with the proposed expedition of discovery and
exploration to the South Pacific, accompanied by
Col. Knapp, arrived in town a few days since from
Nantucket. The object of these gentlemen in
their visit, was to obtain such practical informa
tion relative to distant seas and coasts visited by
whalemen, as might be of service in the intended
expedition, and we are happy to learn that their
reasearches have proved highly satisfactory and
successful.
Information of a like nature has also been de
rived from the experience and observation of some
of our own citizens, deemed not wholly unimport
ant by Mr. R. as is evinced by the following
note :
To Messrs. S. Rodman, W. Botch, E. Gardner, a nd
A. Sheerman fyc
Gentlemen —I received your Report with emo
tions of pleasure; and must say that 1 have perused
it with astonishment, that so much information,
calculated to facilitate the objects of an expedi
tion could have been collected in so short a time,
even from our enterprising merchants and naviga- j
tors. Permit me also to remark, that you must j
have been fortunate in having men in your busi- |
ness, who were anxious to note their observations j
and discoveries for their successors, as desirous to
do justice to their employers and themselves.
In the growth of our country, heretofore, the
merchant and navigator have had to depend pret
ty much on their own resources in collecting in
formation to guide them in distant seas; but it is
to be hoped that the time is nearly at hand, when
our Navy will add as much to our stock of knowl
edge, as ft has to our national glory. The Navy
is now in a prosperous state, growing slowly, but
surely, under the cautious liberalty ot the Nation
al Legislature, and the wise direction of an intel
ligent 3 , vigilant, and persevering Naval Depart
ment. Tiiere is a wide field now open, and will
long be open to enterprising individuals, and a
generous nation to obtain much useful knowledge
every branch; for it is a kindly law of nature,
hat in getting knowledge,as in other acquisitions,
m more we gain, the more easy it is to accum
iate.
1 couei.dei the town Ne\r Bedford, as a fair
specimen of our national growth and prosperity, a
rapid and w onderful, not termed by accident and
mere good luck, but from wise calculations, untir
ing industry, and freedom of action, the great in
gredients of general success?and permanent pros
perity; may it long remain so.
For your kina attention to my request, be
pleased to accept the assurance of the respect and
esteem of gentlemen, your obedient servant.

Russian Tea Trade. —From one of our French
papers, we derive some statements relating to
the Tea Trade in Russia, which we shall endea
vor to present in an abbreviated form.
Tea is spoken of as one of the most important
articles in the commerce of that country, and one
of those which chiefly figure at the fair of Nijny
Novogorod. The rivers of Siberia impede or fa
vor its early arrival according as they are cleared
of ice, at an earlier or later period. From the
frontiers of China, at Kiakhta, to Tomsk, the
tea is transported on sledges ; and (here it is put
into raft-boats, w hich pass down the Oby and up
the Irtisch, to a portage, where it is taken on
waggons across to Per me, a distance of 12 worsts ;
and then, being embarked anew, is boated to Nij
ny Novogorod.
The season for sending the teas from Kiakhta,
is about the beginning of February, in 1827, a
supply arrived at Nijny on the 25th of July, on
eight “ raschives,” each carrying from 5 to 6000
pounds, and altogether worth about twelve mil
lions. The cost of transportation is nearly 10 per
cent, discount. The article is carefully packed in
sheet lead, covered with skins, to prevent it from
contracting a flavor from any thing with which it
may come in contact.
This tea is considered far superior to that im
ported into England, because the latter cannot be
entirely excluded from the salt air from the sea
during the voyage, which is thought to produce a
decided effect upon ft.
The Russians have become so much habituated
to tea, that it may be in a sense, regarded as an
article of the first necessity. Even the lower
classes use it to such an extent, that it is believ
ed to have diminished the use of spirituous li
quors.
It w T as about the year 1653, that the Siberians
and the Boukharians first began to travel with ca
ravans from across Chinese Tartary to Pekin.—-
They carried furs in exchange for gold, silver,
precious stones, stuffs and tea These expedi
tions were subsequently forbidden to pass the
frontiers, in consequence of the ill conduct and
arrogance of the merchants. The trade was pla
ced on a regular system, by a commercial treaty
made between Russia and China in 1689, and ex
tended in 1712. Now t it is required that the teas sold
to the Russians should be marked with the names
of the manufactures, &c and more t han 209 fami
milies are famous tor excelling inthe prepara
tion of the different qualities and grades of the
article.

their Chairman Mr Chauncey, made a re
port responsive to the address of the Pre
sident—embracing a statement of the con
dition of the Bank in August 1828, and a
comparison of its present condition with
its condition in 1822. Very warm en
comiums are bestowed on the President in
the report, aud the measures which have
been taken to increase the circulation of
the Bank and extend its business are high
ly applauded. The report concluded with
resolutions approving of the administration
of the bank in every thing general and par
ticular, which resolutions were adopted
without a dissenting voice.
It is stated in the report, that the pro
fits of the year, exceeded those of 1822, in
the sum of 823,000 dollars ; and were
greater b) 979,000 dollars, than the ave
rage of profits for the three years preced
ing 1822.
