LATER FROM EUROPE.
Decline in Cotton.
The Hibernia arrived at Boston on the 3*l instant,
with Liverpool dates to the 30ih ult. The commercial
news is highly important and discouraging. The fail
ures continued rapidly lo increase, all confidence among
commercial men had departed, and thehea\y (muses
winch failed in England had brought down with them
some ol the oldest and Ix’st established firms in France,
Genoa and Venice. Some of the Glasgow- houses
have also slopped and it was ieared that their connec
tion with certain parties in New: York and New Or-
Ica.Ns would cause similar disasters on this side of the
warier. Among the English failures w*- regret to see
recorded the names ol Head, Irwmg &, Cos., well known
in Georgia as one of our principle creditors and

The Bank of England had to some extent relaxed its
! stringent measures and reduced the rate of interest to
opei cent ; but the effect had not be*n as sanitary as
was antic-pated. The bullion in the Bank continued
to decrease while th discount line was extending at a
most tearful rate. No less thin three of the directors
had fallen in the general Vreck and the fact that the
Bank had reduced the rate of interest below the mark
et value of money had a tendency to increase the appre
hensions of prudent men.
and he com market which had continued to decline up
tothe Yu had slightly improved and Hour had risen
i from 25s to on the 18th.
The efleet of all th-se causes had been to depress the
I cotton market. A decline ol three-eights of a penny
had been the consequence and the transactions even at
I i!m decline where .ery limited. A letter from a L ver-
I pool Commercial published ill the Baltimore Sun
, says: “ The sales tor the week ending the 17th, with
2, KX) hales on that day, and a quiet market, amount to
14,800 bales including 120 Ainer.can on speculation,
and 3,000 American and 50 Surat lor export. The quo
iat ions, according to the standard Brokers’ Association,
are lair Upland, 6a 61 ; lair Monde, 6} ; fair Drier.ns
7 . The .import* lor the week were 40,708 bales, in
clusive of four vessels arrived, but not u-poned.”
Tennessee Copper.
Tin Mountain Lugie printed in Dalton Murray
county, Georgia,says:
We learn that six hundred tons of copper ore is short
ly to be shipped from here to Boston. It is found in
g-cat abuudui ce and oi the richest quality in I’oik coun
( ty Tenn. and Cherokee county N . C. where a compa
ny of Germans are engaged in working the mines.—

wagons are to commence hauling it in next week.
Finances of the Nation.
According to the Pittsburgh Gazette, Mr. Dallas
staled the Revenue lor the first three-quarters amount
led to $26,U00,(KK)! To produce this sum, an importa
i lion of was necessary, allowing the val
! nation to have been entirely iair. As, however, it was
mcontestihly show n by Mr. Webster, that immense
frauds would invcltabiy practiced under the ad
valarem system we have not the least doubt that it
| readied 160 or sb 170,000.(WO 1 From the same authority
we learn that the revenue, for the entire year, ending
o.i the liisi o. December, will be $36,000,000. This
would suppose an importation of $200,000,000, if all
is fair at the custom-hous -. Making allowance lor liaud*

cnaiice ot a nomination. The democracy implores us
to bung out a statesman. Will they vote tor Henry

“Gen. Taylor comes before ;he country with a notional

Western New York say they would not vote for him J

were a >uatldidate, they should give him their votes, and
we have rarely seen a man of either party who did not
conclude that if nominated by either, he wou.d ertuin
ly be elected. At the South he will sweep the whole
country, and very nearly obliterate all party divisions.
At the West, it nominated by the Whigs, he will re
-1 ceive nearly half the Locofoco vote. In Ohio, l‘en
: sylvania, and New York, his aggregate majority, we
, believe, would not be less than 30,000; and in New
England we ure confident he would not be cast against

Destroying the Army Worm.
A planter named J. A. Butler, in Monroe county,
Mississippi, under date of the 15th September, writes to
the editor of the Aberdeen Advertiser, that he has dis
covered an effectual means of destroying the Army
Worm in his cotton fields. He says:
About the 15th of July the “Army Worm” made its
appearance in my farm. About t'ue 25th of July. I put
hogs in the cotton lurin, and about the 15th of August
discovering that the worms had pretty nearly left, 1 re
moved the hogs. ‘Tlie consequence is, that 1 have made,
a medium crop of cotton.
The hogs destroyed the worms, and parted the cot
ton, in perignnnting the farm, so as to let the aun to it,
Hogs, turned upon cotton should be fed with corn
every day, to prevent them from ilevouring the bolls.

We find the following in a letter to the New Orleans
National dated Monterey, Aug. 26, 1847: ‘Some
fiend in human shape last night, made a terrible illustra
tion of a “little more grape Capt Bragg,” for he placed
under the bedol the gallant soldier ail eight inch bomb
shell, with a train h ading off by which it was ignited.
The explos.on was terrific, but fortunately the Capiain
received no iniury Two of the missels went through
his bed without touching him. Ilis escepe is looked
upon us miraculous, the contents of the shell having
been scattered around for a hundred yards. No cause
isossigned for this attempt upon Captain Brnggs’s fife,
except that some ol his men think he is too severe in
his discipline. This is the second attempt upon his
life.’’
Insurrection in Hiiyti.
Advices from Hayti corroborate the reported insur

Mr. Dallas ami llir Wilniot Proviso.
A great Democratic meeting was held in Pittsburg
on the Hth uit., which Vice President Dallas attended
and addressed by invitation. Among the subjects lie
discussed was that of the VVihnot Proviso. From what
he said we make the following quotation :
1 lie ‘ liiivrs of the General Government are awake
to the importance of this subject; and there is no doubt
tha’ there will be much agitation in both Houses ol
Congress upon it In die Senate I have no doubt, it
will be examined in all ils bearing; and 1 sincerely
hope that Something will lie found to arise from 11 cal
culated to place our institutions upon a still more firm
and enduring basis than they even now are The very
best thing which can be done, when all is said upon the
! subject that may be said, will be to let it alone entrely
—leaving to the people of the territory to he acquired,
I the business ol settling the mntler for themselvr a, for
where slavery lias no existence, all the legislation of
; Congress would Ik- powerless to g.ve it existence , and
where we find it to exist, the people of the country have
themselves adopted the institution ; they have the right
alone, todeteimine their own institutions; and, as the
tjie matter so exists else where, they are not to be con
