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. young man, named Gladman, lost his life by dor I . f i e ; l:i , a ’ ure explosion of a charge of gunpow 11C I w *s driving into q, rock, pear Ralti- It, is stated in a Petersburg (V a .) paper, that small parcels of cotton, of the new crop, have ap peared in that market.

It is to consist of a pyra mid shaft of one solid block of Quincy Granite, fifteen feet high, and four feet square at the base. 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. Mr. Eugene Robertson, the celebrated Aero naut, is to ascend in his Balloon, from Castle Garden, New York on the 16th inst. 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 would claim its due in any school in Great Bri tain, w here such a “ barring-out” should take place.— United States Gazette. Governor Metcalfe was sworn into office at Frankfort, on Tuesday, the 26th ult. He was es-. corted into tow n by a large concourse of citizens, under a federal salute, and repaired to the Me thodist Church, where he was congratulated in an address made by J. VV. Denny, Esq. The Governor, in his reply, stated his determination to he the Governor of tire State and not of a par ty. The oaths of office were then administered, i National Intelligcncer. Several companies of the 7 ltli British Regi ment, recently sailed from Halifax for Bermuda. The transfer is regretted by the citizens of Hali fax, on account ol'the high character which the regiment sustained while on that station. The numerous friends and acquaintances oi Mr. Pedersen, who so long resided with us, and for many years represented the court of Denmark in the United States, will be gratified to know that his * arrival here may be daily expected.— Whether he comes in an official capacity or not, we are not informed.

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. Most, of the Swiss passengers brought to Bos ton in the Clematis from Havre, have embarked in the schooner Essex, of Saybrook, for New- . York, and sloop Ocean, Lewis, for do.

Several families have proceeded to lialluwell.— Palladium. r I A report has reached the city, of the death of Judge Robert Trimble, of the Supreme Court of the United States, at his residence m Kentucky ; we know not on what authority the report rests, and hope that it may be unfounded. We do not find that any of the papers from the West confirm the report of the death of Gov. Ray, of Indiana, and we therefore trust that this report also may prove untrue. — lb. bth inst.

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. J.F. REYNOLDS. August 14th, 1828. From the New-York DoMy Advertiser. 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. FROM INDIA. By the ship Emerald, at Boston, Calcut ta papers lothe Ist of April, were received. An insurrection at Akyab had been suppressed at the expense of some lives It was expected in India that they would eventually, have a hostile visit from the Russians. The British Authorities refusing to per mit a woman tobejied who was about to be burned with the corpse oi her husband, she sprang from the pile as soon as she felt the heat, and escaped. A pension is allowed her Lord Amherst the Governor General of India, embarked on the Bth March for England. The Geo.

Penang, Feb 13.—Some considerable sales of Pepper and other spices have been made in the last week, for the European market, by Eleanor and Speke; [Br. ves sels.] At a meeting of the stockholders of the Bank of the United States held yesterday, Messrs. Charles Chauncey, Cadwallader Evans, Charles Jared Ingersoll, James Ronaldson, and James C. F sher, were appointed a committee to examine the statements laid on the table by the Presi dent. The meeting then adjourned to nine o clock the next day. This morning the committee, through 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.
