Office Holden in Mu**.—It appears, from
a rsport of Mr. Secretary Woodbury, that lha
expenses of nine collect ion districts in Maine,
for one year, were $7$,829 53 more than the
ravenaeoollected in those districts! That is,
tha collectors kept all they got, and drew frum
the United Slates Treasury this sum in addition.
Tha following its list of the districts, with the
amonnt of the ocoro which each ran up against
lha Government respectively:

The question naturally arises, why are so
many-office holders kept m pay of tho Govern'
ment, where they do not collect sufficient teve»
nua for their own salaries? For the same pur
pose, doubtless, ihat the inspector of this port
is billeted upon the public Treasury at a charge
of two or three hundred dollars per annum://r
the purpose of reieardtng Us political hirelings.
These worthies are scattered, or rather swarm,
along the whole seacoast of Blaine, from Kiuery
to Quoddy; the noisiest of demagogues, the

Correspondence of the Courier Sc Enquirer.
Loaoas, September 20th, 1839.
Tho Liverpool steamship being about to da*
part from Liverpool at an early hour to morrow
morning, and at no other atoain ship will be in
train for New York for an unusual time after
the sailing of the Liverpool, I purpose to send
you the fullest, latest and the best asceitained
account of the present state of afl‘airs in this
qnartsr of the world.
Preceding all othar matters at the present
moment, is the unexpected and extraordinary
occurrence respecting the French agency of the
Bank of the United Stales.
On the night nf Friday last arrived in London
an express to .Mr. Jaudon, iiifoiming him that
on that day the house of llnttingeur, the Paris
agents of tha bank, had refused to accept tha
usual bills which had been drawn from Phils*
delphia against consignments of cotton to Havre
de Grace and various other poi ts of France.—
This intelligence waa entirely unexpected by
Mr. Jaudon, who,—though the most prominent
European agent of the B -uk ol the United
Statos,—has not profassod any direct connexion
with the Parisian agents of tho bank, end conse
quently then learned for the first time that the
house of lloUingf ur had come to so extraordin*
ary a determination as to rsfuie the bills of an
establishment from which they have derived so
vory beneficial an interest during an agency of
twenty years. Setting ofT instantly for Paris,
Mr Jaudon arrived in that capitul_on Mopday,
and at once ieino>e<l all the difficulties of the
Messrs. Ilottingour. by negociating with the
house ofltosihchild,’* the Jewi-li capitalists of so
much calebrity. and who new accept the bills of
the Bank of tho United States.
This event has been the subject of extraordin
ary excitement, both in England and in France.
But the numerous enemies of tho bank of tho
U. States, who,both in London and in Lancashire
and Yorkshire, were exnl.iug in the supposed
downfall of the institution Imve now found that,
on tho countrary, the result of the aff dr hai
eminently strengthened the credit of the institu
tion; ail parlies now agreeing.that if Mr.Jaudeii,
when suddenly called on ceuld provide security
lor 7,000,000 of fraiic*,extraneous entirely to bis
own arrangements of every description, and
could substitute the greatest capitalists in the
whole woild for thecomparatively unknow house
of Hottingsur—tint all this must redound most
signally to the credit and solid power of the
Bank of tha Un;ted|8utes.
The true and puncipal causa of these at*
tempts upon the credit of the Uankofthe United
8tates, is, in my judgment, the teauli of a long*
continued aortas of fabrications and distortions
of circumstances in a csrtaiu leading London
morning newspaper, furnished or abetted and
stimulated by those who have been hitherto its
opponents, in not recovering those interest*
which were forfeited by their own imprudence
alone. The outrageous quality of these asser
tion* is shewn by the following very recent spe*
cimena—that Mr. Jaudon had received as*i*«
lance from the Bank of England—which litre is
tho most dangerous charge wliich can be made
agninst the credit of auy mercautiln or banking
establishment—and that, in a similar manner,
the earn* gentleman had receii ed the sum of
£800,0*10 from tho banking house of Hope of
Amsterdam. The direct answer to time inser
tions is that Mr. Jaudon has never received one
farthing from the Bank of England, and not one
farthing from the Hopes of Amsterdam.
So far indeed from the Bank ef the United
States having received assistance from the Bank
of England, tho Bank of England,on the contra*
ry, may ba said to have received assistance from
lha Bank of the United States, as far at to have
imported 250,000 sovereigns, and to have sold
them to the Bank of England, at a time when
the bullion waa reduced almost to nothing, is
certainly 'assistance’ in the true meaning of the
word, and this is the only transaction which has
passed between Mr. Jaudon end the Bank.
On the subject of the westher.and harvest in
Eugland, the accounts by tha Liverpool steam
ship are unfortunately to be of the verygloatn-
lest kind. Hinco the date ofmy letter by the
Cambridge packet ship of the 7lh mat. which
informed you of the melancholy opp?«rauce of
•very thing on theground, the weather has been
even worse during tho whole of tho succoi-ding
lime. Daily, for tha last ten days we have exi
pericnced rain in consiilurble quantity during the
whole of the twenty-four hours; but on Satur
day and Monday last, the torrents were greater
than in any month of Septembei within tha
memory of man; Real suuiiiier or auituua,
there has beau indeed none in England; auJ the
consequence is, that the prospects of the liar*
vest are of lha most alarming description at the
present time. In Ireland, dcotUud, the higher
districts of Wales and the counties of England
north of the Dumber, there, is now no doubt,
thut the crops will be deficient at least one third
and probably one half, as already mentioned;—
but so green and backward in these parte of the
kingdom is every description of grain, that with
out an immediate and very decided change
in tho weather, there is more than the possibili.
ly that marketable bread stufis there will be ab.
solutely none. In the more southern counties
of Essex. Sussex and Kent, there is a considers*
ble portion or the harvest secured in moderately
good coudition; but those countries from only a
small proportion of tho kingdom at large and
evan there an avurage crop can scarcely lie said
lo hate been secured.
The Weather this morning is rather brighter
at intervals, but tlio air is moih and file wind
•teady in lh* southwest and souili,from which
ramymisirter* it has not,indeed changed for mo re
than ihreu mouths. The consequence of the
unfavorable prospects of the harvest has
been a rapid rise in the value of every descrip'
lion ofgrainnt Market; and the advance being
5s. per quarter within the last fivodays, and the
London average for the week being ?§*. 4d; but
the general aveiage of the six weeks having
not reached 72s, the duty on foreign wheat r#«
mains at 5s. 8d. per quarter, and 4s,per bbl. of
foreign flour of 19C lbs. It is now, however, cer*
tain that the duty will spnedily fall to Is., and
that there will be,throughout the winter, a free
importation into England of foreign flour and

Perhaps, therefore, the English Ministry will
resort to the power, which they have under the
Bank of Knglaud's char ter,to authorize the aue-
pension of paymont* in cash, a measure which
though groatly is, I mu confident, needlessly
dreaded by the public—as tha Bank of Engined
is poasa^sed of abundance ol propertv,end there
is no probability that Bank of England notes
would ho refused by foreign nations, nr that the
discount would be lo any material amount,
whilst on the other hand, the extension of the
carrency which the suspension of cash pay
menu would enable tho Directors of tho Bank
of Englnud to croute, would appear to be the
one only measure which can sustain and stimu

Notwithstanding tha itnptacadantad efforts

Tha two Indian councils are now in session,

Tho new oinigrants of the Ross potty censuied

they sav he should have told them that it was a

not interfere. Whether it would have been the
best policy for hint, is a matter of (doubt. At
Brown’s council there ate about 1.600 people,

However these prospects of exportation of
high priced flour to England, may cause
some parties in the United States to exult,
tliero is no doubt of iho grontur enlargei
moot of the views recently appearing in the
Courier and Enquirer, and shewing that a high
price for a limited surplus of flour is no real
ssiisfactinit for the far more extensive national
disadvantages arising from a diminished com
sumption and lower prices of cotton and other
commodities, and from the continued derange.

which seems now inevitable In England fur tho
whole of another year of mWerv of every kind.
The money market on Lond.ni remains in a
very unsatisfactory situation, and though filers
was some improvement of tho occurrence of ona

Indeed, it is impossible to perceive how the
Bank of England is to continue payments in

AWFUL CONFLAGRATION!!
Elbvk.v SqoARis Dbstrotkd it Firs !!!
Wa have only lima thia morning .before gaing
to pteas, to announce fits occurrence or the meat
awful and destructive fire which ever before oc
curred in our unfortunate and ill starred oily.—
Last night, at about 8 o’clock, whan tha wind
waa blowiag almost a gala from the south test,
the fire broke out in an old woodsn building in
the rear of the house on the south east corner of
Dauphin and Concapfion-sta., owned by Mr.
I'iuto. Tha adjuining buildings being all of
wood, lha fire wax soon commonilsd to them,
and in a few minutes crossed Conception!*!.—
Here it had fullsweep—the buildings were very
compact sad all of wood, and tha wind south
east—the fire swept over Ibe two squares west
ol Conception, from Conti, on the south, tn St
Francis, on the north, with unesampled and
terrific rapidity. Proceeding west. U crossed
Si. Joacbim.st.—iheii Jackson—here it extended
ene squarefmther north, lo Si. Michael at.—
and then three eolid squares abreast, all in one
g rand terrific fl ime, it swept onward to Clai.
orne sl.—und crossed it, sweeping every thing
to Franklin-st, llero, at about 12 o’clock, the
wind fortunately abated; in consequence of
which and the blowing up of several buildings
on iiits west side of Franklin-st., the progress of
Ibe devouring element waa stayed. Not. how*
aver until 6 or 8 building* on the west side of
Franklin had been destroyed. The dwelling
of Duke Goodman, Esq., on the corner of Dau
phin and Franklin, was blown up. Thus all
the buildings on the north side ef Conii, from
Conception to Franklin, a distance of 4 squares
—all on both sides of Dauphin, to the same ex
tent—on both side* of St. Francis to same extent,
with the exception ef 3 buildings on each side
at the corner of Conception—all the buildings
on the south side of St. Michael, from Jackson
to Franklin—all on the cross streets of Concep
tion, St. Joachim Jackson.Clsiborne and Frank
lin. and probably 20 to 30 buildings besides, in
the vicinity.
Within the limits described shove.numbering
it is supposed, about FIVE HUNDRED BUILi
DINGS, have suddenly beer- reduced to ashes!
By this awful calamity, probably two hundred
families are turned out into the streets, many of
whom are poor and penny less, and will (depend
entirely iiponj public charity fora place to rest
their heads, and for bread loappens j their l-no-
K ir. The flames extended with such rapidity,
at but little property could be saved, and
many, have lost their all. Waare unable this
moruing to descend to particulars. It is impos.
sibla to convey any idea of the di-tress produ.
ced* Tho removal of tho sick and the con«e<
quince expostiro, excitement and alarm, we fenr
will in many instances be productive of fatal
results.
The origin of the fire is attributed to incendia'
rics, and we understand that two persons were
seized on suspicion and lodged in jail. Can it
be possible there can be foiirtU in human ahape,
such base fiendish monsters? Mobile seems im
deed a doomed city. Havo we not drank deep
enough of tho bitter cup of adversity and af
fiction? When and where will our calamities
end? Alas! lleaven only knows!
Mysterious Disappearance.—Much apprehen.
siou is felt at Paris, Henry county, Tenn, for
the safety of Messrs. Brown and Willey, of
that place, who left there on the Glh of July
last, and have not sinco boon heard from. They
were halters and engaged in a flourishing busi
ness.—Ono of them was bound to Ibe east to
purchaso materials, and had in Ins possession a
considerable amount of money in specie; the
ether accompanied him to Southland, where he
was ts meet a gentleman with whom he had
some bui-iness to transact. They have been
traced as far as that peint. nor cun anything
further be hoard ofthem. Tho gentleman who
was to meet ilioiu at Smillifield was there at the
appointed lime, but saw neither ofthem. It is
supposed that they have been murdered, as they
wore not in embarrassed circumstances, and no
cause can be assigned for their failure to appear.
A meeting of ihe citizens of Paris had been
called by the Mayor lo adopt some measures to
ascertain llisir fate.
ANOTHER MURRELL GANG ROUTED.

WAstuftOToif Co. Ark., Aug 3,18.39.
-The citizens of this county liavo taken the
affair of the Wright murder into thoir own
hands, believing it to bo the only means to rid
the country of this murdorous Murroll gang of
outlaws. They seem to think that there h a
gang leading from ihe western part of this State
io’lt)xiis; and ifpossible worse than -Mui roll's.
They have good reasons for so thinking, from a
chain orcircumstaucez'broiight to light on the
