Fho Messager says on (he refusal of bills of the 11. S. Bank by Messrs. Holtingunr—“The house of Messrs. Rothschild, which held u great part ot the hills presented for acceptance to Messrs. Hot tinguer A Co., has intervened in support of the honor of the American signatures. “The hills, which amount to ten millions, of which only two millions and a half have been presented up to this time to Messrs, llotlingucr, have been nceepled by Messrs. Rothschild. It is stated (bit; the refusal to accept by the house of Hottingucr, arose from the circumstance of the bills of lading of the cotton which was to serve as a guarantee for the bills drawn by the Bank of the United States not having been sent with the letters of advice, which staled simply that the cotton which was tube consigned to Messrs, llot lingoer, was purchased, and would tin sent by (he first vessels. Ily the arrangement which has taken place, the cotton which was expected in London and Havie, will he consigned jo Messrs. Rothschild." Home of the French papers slate that the ne gociation pending between the United Stales Hank and the Messrs Rothschilds, is on the eve of u favorable conclusion. Others state Unit the house of Rothschild has positively declined mov ing further in the premises, and that the matter rests in precisely th ■ sum- state where the sailing of the Liverpool left it. The ‘all in the London stock market, it is ar gued, was not caused alone hy the refusal of the house of Hottingucr to redeem the notes of the United States Bank; (and for this opinion a quaint reason is given—■■ Bemuse it was known almost immediately aflerwaids that the a (lair was in progress of arrangement hy the intervention of the Rothschilds!”) but rather hv fears of the fail ure of the harvest which is til the present time the exciting q test ion in England. That the crops have failed in some coniines p.ntially, and \ in others extensively, there is now no doubt, and i the fact would of itself anse consideiable depres sion iu the money market. The two combined give us the true reasons of the late full of the stocks in London. Havre letters of the 21st speak of the honor of the bills rejected by Hotlingiier A Co. as u question yet undetermined. One of them reads thus: H war:, Sept. 21. “Up to last evening the bills bad not been ac cepted—anil it is now ascertained that nothing will be done until the return of one of the part ners of Messrs. Rothschild vV Uo. who is absent from I’aris." In France serious troubles have again occur red at Mans and other towns. On the Ulllt Sep tember and following day, immense crowds as sembled m the market place and were vociferous ly eloquent in their denunciation of (he monopo ly of grain. The Mayor permitted the people to i seize and distribute among them s quantity of sacks of wheat (payment being made for the i same.) Oa Sunday the 15th. a convoy of wheat, in i value 30,000 (ratios, purchased by government j for the sustenance of the army, was stopped on { its passage through the town. Mona Blache, the Unmmigaary, undertook to remonstrate with those who opposed the progress of the loaded wagons. He was assailed with cries of “down with the monopolist!” “Death to Blache!” and finally the mob proceeded to use |iersoiml vio- Icuce. The Commissary escaped with great ilitliciilty and took shelter in a neighboring house. The, j market guard came to bis rescue and conducted ! him to the market house. The crowd surroun ded it and endeavored to gel possession of his person. The alarm bell was rung, and a regi meat of hussara galloped to the scene of the riot. There they were pelted with stone*, and two odicr-rs and three privates were wounded. Tht hnssare then chaiged \b c 1 end disp r- ’d it By 11 o’.do kat night tin t.mlt -v >s etl’-ctuafv qut Ill’ll. The next morning (Monday) the riot re-com menced. The sentinels were attacked and dts t urmnl. Barricades were thrown up in the street* f trading to the market p ane. The jail was forc ed, and the prisoners set at liberty. The Hussar* rode up to the barricades, but abandoned any attack or. them, and retired to their quarters.

He died yesterday at 4 o’clock, P, M. at a very 1 advanced age—being we believe past seventy.—• Judge Lee has been long in public life and tilled tinny sations that call for superior talents.

In addition to the disgraceful instance recorded in litis Gazette of Saturday, of the fail ure of a sub-treasury esta hi I aliment to meet a draft of between three and four hundred dollars in specie, the Pennsylvania Sentinel records an other of a similar kind, though for an oiiuniiit considerably larger. That paper stales upon un questionable authority that a draft of fifteen hun dred dollars, drawn by the Collector at Wilming ton, by authority ol the Treasury Department at Washington, upon the Custom House of this city, and for which the agent of the government received a premium of eleven per cent, was pre sented on Saturday and payment demanded in specie, which was positively and unequivocally refused.’! We really hope that in view of these things, the manager of the Globe at Washington will find it consistent with his duty to roar as gently n hout the villainous bonks as possible.— Phi/.Guz A Pitr:oret ion Vkthfieii.—Mr. Webster, in his great speech upon the Sub-Treasury hill in 1837 predicted a second suspension of the hanks if the government should continue its war upon them. The following was his language: ‘‘Sir, vve may talk as much as we please about the resumption of specie payments, hull tell you that, with government thus warring upon the hanks, if resumption should take place, another suspension I fear would follow. It is not war, successful or unsuccessful, between government and the hanks; it is only peace, trust confidence, that can restore the prosperity of the country.— This system of perpetual annoyance to the hanks, this hoarding up of money which the country demands for its own necessary uses, this bringing of the whole, revenue to act, not in aid and fur therance, hut in direct hindrance and embarrass ment of commerce and business, is utterly irre eoncileuble with the public interest.

Fitch, which arrived at this port on | the 3d inst., we have intelligence from Key Bis i cayne as late as the 2 fill Si ptember. The Indi j ans i> n e heroine hostile again—they have killed 1 two soldiers and one black interpreter! It ap- I nears that on the 27 th iusl. they had a dance at New River, within two miles of the fort, which is occupied hy Lieut. Tompkins, who has about thirty men under his command, being a detach ment from the steamer Poinsett, All the officers and men were invited to the dance, which was held in the night. They all, with the exception of the three above mentioned, declined the invi tation. They obtained permission from their commanding officer to attend the dance, leaving the fort about dark. Scarcely hud they arrived at the place where the Indians were assembled before they were fallen upon by these blood thirs ty de.ils, and butchered in a must horrid man ner. One »f the men was pierced with fifty balls! The. other two were most shockingly manghd. The Indians, being thwarted of their denion-likr. design upon all who were in the fo.t, (who, no doubt, would have been served' in the same mariner, had they attended,) thus vented their rage upon these defenceless creatures. Lieut. Tompkins sent an express to Colonel Harney, at Key Biscayne, for assistance, as he did not know at what moment he might lie at tacked by the Indians. Lieut. Sloan of the Marine Corps was despatched immediately with a detachment, by Col. Harney, to relieve Lieut. Tompkins. We have not ascertained what party of Indi ans it is who committed this depredation, but have no doubt of their being all combined, al though some of them would deceive the whiles, under the pretence of appearing friendly. Such sad and repealed proofs of their friendship, we think, -should leach the whites to properly appre ciate and guard against them.— South Floridian. National Convention Growers. We learn from a gentleman in this city, who is deeply interested in the silk culture, that a Convention to promote the cultivation and manu facture of silk in the United States is to be held in Washington city on the 10th of December next, at which it is expected that there will be an attendance of Delegates from every Congres sional district in the Union, as well as from the Territories and the District of Columbia. This will be the most important as well as the most numerous assembly ever known in this country —silk culture being destined to become one of the most extensive branches of American indus try- It has been suggested that the distant States and Territories should appoint their representa tives and delegates in Congress members of this Convention, ns they will necessarily be in Wash ington at the time, and can then attend the sit tings of the Convention without prejudice to the public business. Arrangements arc being made to accommodate as many as 1000 delegates, and for the exhibition oi the many specimens of American manufactur ed silks to be brought in competition for the val uable prizes so generously offered by the Ameri can Silk Society. It is desirable that the various silk companies in the country immediately appoint tiieir dele gates and announce iheir names in the agricul tural or silk papers, and forword a copy of the paper to the Society at Washington, so that a correct list ot the delegates may be made in an ticipation ot the Convention im-eiing; and every newspaper in the country favorable to silk cul ture should publish this or some similar notice of the Convention as early as possible.— Nat. Intel igtncer. • Situ.—The exhibition of great many speci mens of American Silk, from many iudiviuuals in different parts of the country, now to be sent at Nihlo’s, at the great Fair of the American In stitute, affords sufficient proof that this beautiful article can be produced in Ibis country to any ex tent. It is not more in its infancy now, than toiton was in 1780. File Mulberry and Silk worms are natives of Asia. Ihe silk worm was first rendered service able to man in China, about 2700 years before the Chistian Era. They were unknown in Eu rope till bob —when the emperor Justinian sent two monks to fSerinda. in India, from whence they brought to Constantinople the eggs of the silk worm. Thus they had laid the foundation lor those superb silk manufactures which for near 70“ years flourished in Greece, at Athens, Thebes, and Corinth. About 600 years after, the culture ot silk was introduced troni Greece into Italy, and (roni theme into France in 1494. Since then it has spread over all the Southern and Middle ot Europe, and is cultivated with success as far north as Prussia, where the mulberry re sists the severest winters without injury. In 1008 Janies Ist endeavored to introduce the culture of silk into England. In 1029 them were many silk establishments in London—and the silk weavers were divided into corporations in 1001. They were more than 40,000 in num ber. The revocation of the edict of Nantz in 1085. caused large numbers of silk manufacturers to take reluge in England, and they contributed greatly to the progress of this industry. The raising of silk is not altogether novel in America. It has long been a production of Geotgia. and was raised there as early as 1755. Many individuals in Massachusetts and Connec ticut have attended to it several years, with much advantage; and it is now fully established that the climate is congenial to the mulberry tree, and that silk worms will thrive in New England, as well as in most parts of Europe, where the rais ing of silk is the sinew of the community.— N.

His worth and integrity are snati bed from imitation while in their bloom, and his virtuous ca reer prematurely checked by the cold hand of death; but while sympathy drops a tear of com miseration, and memory looks with pain at the de plorable loss, religion bids Ids mourning family and friends submit to the distressing dispensation, holds out the cheering consolation that he has been re ceived with, “Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter into the joys of thy Lord.” DIED, At the Sand Hills, of Croup, on Friday evening last, I’reston C., youngest son of David and Eli za Jane Caven, aged 3 years and eleven months.

We do not wait till Sunday to advise you of our Cotton market, since the Slh inst., because it is of an interesting character, and permits us to speak more candidly than we were able to do last week. Vco will perceive that our opinion then expressed, has been-fully justified. We have to report a fall of 2c. at east on fine cotton, ami at the same time the sales from Monday to Friday inclusive amount ed to 8154 bales. More than half this quantity was sold by our largest holder in lots of 848 bales Louisiana at 101 f.—looo at Ui7, and 874 at 111 to one purchaser, and 892 bales t* another at 111 b, this last sale of tine Mobile took place on the 12th inst., and was considered the most advantageous.— | The seller immediately offered for sale a further let | of 2000 bales, from which we predict a further fall 1 in fine qualities, which are much moic abundant than ordinary qualities. The disproportion in price between line and poor qualities has become so great that it appears difficult to us to believe that while there is no chance of the fine advancing, the lower qualities can sustain themselves, they appear to us entirely too high, and they cannot continue to com mand 100 a 102 b while the best can only bring 110 a 112$. Our market may be said to range from the lowest lOOf. to the highest 120 f. | Our receipts have been 242.6 bales, by three ves scls fiom New York; one of which, the backet, I brought us advices, which had however been enti ; cipated by the steamer Liverpool; these advices | however show nogreat change at Liverpool, where j tlie aitide is much lower than with us; (he ac- I cocnts were considered more favmable and lead a good effect in that market. The accon ts have $ caused our holders to sell. * Wc estimate our stock at 83,000 bales, now be lieving that the sales of the week have been taken out of the market.” September 20.
