The annals of mendacity afford nrf counter part to the course that certain newspapers have taken with regard to the public meeting, held >n this city on the evening ot Saturday last.— Every principle of justice, truth, and even com mon decency has been violated. The most reck less misrepresentations have been indulged in with unsparing malignity. Distortions the most gross, perversions the most unseemly, have been crowded upon the public eye, with a zeal border ing on ferocity. Contumely, vituperation and falsehood, have each been invoked with a phren zy almost amounting to desperation. We ask the reader’s calm and unprejudiced attention to a few plain simple facts recorded below. The callofthe meeting, as published in the Mercury, and in handbills, is as follows: Public Meeting —Eag Muncy. —A public mee ting of the citizens of Charleston will he held at the City Hail, this evening, at 8 o’clock precise ly, to devise suitable means for relieving the com munity from the pondeious evils which are crushing them to the earth. All who arc op posed to the present worthless, irredeemable Pa per Currency which is producing such disastrous effects on the properly and happiness of the country, its blighting, withering palsying influ ence upon individual industry and public morals, are earnestly invited to attend. The Bankers have spoken; let us now hear the Voice of the People ! Let the Mechanics show to the world that they have Rights and dare maintain them! Measures will also be adopted to establish an Independent Press, devoted to the interests of the People. Charleston, July 8, 1537. From the above it will seem that none were invited to attend except such as wore opposed to an “irredeemable paper currency;” hut no sooner had the notice appeared llian the bank ers took the alarm—held a consultation and de termined to put down the meeting by force. Run nets were despatched by Mr. Kcr Boyce, a Bank Director, to drum up the “household troops.”-- Previous to the hour appointed the persons con nected with the different banks, bad filled nearly all the seats and avenues leading to the chair, although they were not invited. The moment the bell had ceased ringing for 8 o’clock it was proposed by one of the batik advocates that Mr. 1 layne should take the Chair, Dir. Fisk arose and begged that the motion might be withdrawn, as another individual had been invited to preside and bad accepted the invitation, and it might tend to increase the excitement should another person be called to the chair, under such circum stances; he said lie was a man of peace, and wish ed nothing to take place that might occasion dis order. Mr. Ilaync, although uninvited to the meeting, not being included in the call, took his place as presiding officer. Mr. Fisk had taken fiis seat but a few moments when a bank ruffian crept up partly behind him, and while his head was turned in a contrary'direction, inflicted a blow with his whole strength, with the power of vengeance and hate superadded. Mr. Fisk is a clergyman—a non-com battant—was unarmed, defenceless, and surrounded by men whose gla ring eye balls seemed an illustration of the dark fables of heathen milhology; but he quailed not although yells were heard that would curdle the blood at the heart. Mr. Fisk stood nearly alone, most of his friends having remained on the outside of the hall. Although the indignity was inflicted in the very face of the head of the police, yet in stead of arresting the culprit, he gave a flatter ing smile of approval for the heroic deed he had performed. Several gentlemen addressed the meeting, hut not one openly disapproved of the brutal act of violence. The Mayor in his closing remarks withdrew from Mr. Fisk the protection of the law, so far as he was concerned, and turned loose upon him the fury of the respecta ble mob who had intruded upon a meeting of the citizens, to which they were not invited. As soon as the meeting adjourned, the Mayor went to where Mr. Fisk was standing, and with one of his blandest smiles, begged that ho might ac company him home. The reply of Mr. Fisk was:—“No Sir. Not five minutes ago you threw me out from under your protection, and 1 shall not again place myself there. I shall go homo alone—if I am assassinated for my honest opin ions my blood will cry from the ground.” Mr. Fisk has becufalsely accused of calling the meeting for the purpose of promoting riot and bloodshed. It is a grave charge to make against a minister of the gospel of peace—and one tiiat ought not to be made without the most satisfactory proof. The public should demand that some evidence should be given of the fact other than mere assertion and idle declamation. So far from Mr. Fisk’s calling the meeting, that, it was not until threats of assassination had been uttered that he took any active part in get ting up the meeting. The question then assu med the aspect of liberty or slavery, and lie met it like a man. His life is of trifling importance when compared with die principles of freedom. Other clergymen were present at the meeting besides Mr. Fisk; one of the most popular Meth odist preachers in the city had promised to be there, contingencies excepted, and was expect ed to deliver an address. This docs not look much as if a mob and riot was the object of the meeting. The ferocity manifested towards Mr. Fisk has been occasioned by his tearless expose of the enormous corruptions of the banking system, which has just been published in pamphlet form: and also by his Oration delivered on the 4th of July. He has put his hand to the plough, and will not look back, although danger and even death stare him in the face. He is not an aspirant for the honors of martyrdom, but the daggers point has as few terrors for him as most other men. If the nath of truth and justice must be crimsoned with blood, bis will be treely shed. AN APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC. It is one of the most painful duties I have ev er vet been called to perform to bo compelled io obtrude myself upon the public notice, under the present disagreeable circumstances. Hav ing been most unjustly assailed in the daily pa pers of this city (the Courier more particularly) I at last deemed it my duty to endeavor to repel the cruel aspersions that have been heaped upon me with an unsparing hand. The editors of that paper after having represented me a second Robhespiere, hut little if any better than a bandit and outlaw, having done their best to make me an alien from all the nobler sympathies of the community in which I reside ai.cr impugning mv motives and misrepresenting my ac,s ha\c crowned their unholy work by refusing to allow me the means of redress usually extended to the meanest citizen of the land, with regard to the unfounded and ungenerous libels they have cir culated against me. It is what I little expected. 1 did not even dream that any press in America had become so lost to every principle of justice, as to refuse to allow a deeply injured individual to be heard in his defence. My character is my a li when my good name is filched from me, 1 am indeed poor. The value of an unsullied re putation is not to be estimated; and he who wantonly destroys it, is guilty of an offence that even scalding tears of repentance can scarce ef face. The following article was written tnis mor ning for the Charleston Courier in reply to its ungenerous accusations, and it was refused an insertion, unless I would erase all that renders it necessary to have it published at all. Tiie public will one day do me the justice to believe that I am neither robber nor pirate ; neither ban dit nor outlaw. T. FISK. Charleston, July 14, 1637. ERRORS CORRECTED. Messrs. Editors; —I have long hesitated as to the propriety ofendcavoring to correct, through the medium of the public press, the wide spread and cruel misrepresentations of my motives and conduct in relation to the public meeting on Sa turday evening last. But for my being, as you say, “ a stranger among ns” (having resided in Charleston hut little more than a year) I should not have noticed the articles which have appear ed in the daily papers, but with silence and pity; as it is, I very respectfully claim a stranger's privilege in desiring to be heard in my defence at. the bar of public opinion before which I have been so rudely arraigned. That I was not born in South Carolina is true ; and it was not until the last few days that I learned that this was not only a misfortune, but sufficient to disfranchise meof the rights and immunities of an American citizen. Our Constitution declares tiiat Con gress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; nor did the framers probably imagine that it would ever become a question whether a person not born in a particu lar Cify or State, should he deprived of one of the most precious of all Cod’s gifts, freedom of opinion and freedom of speech. Those who have fled from foreign lands to escape the accu mulated weight of ages of bondage and oppres sion, will, it tbi - new doctrine is sustained by public opinion, be compelled to seek yet another city of refuge. Yon say that “ one Thcophilus Fisk, a Uni vorsalisl Preacher, has thought proper to attempt the part of a political demagogue in our commu nity.” 1 freely pardon the language used, as it was doubtless penned under the influence of a i strong personal excitement; a little candid re flection cannot but convince you that you do mo great injustice. I have for years eschewed par ty politics, seeing, as I thought, tiiat the struggle between the leaders was merely for power and place, while the great principles of political jus tice were trampled in the dust. The great ques tion that now agitates the community, has, as I conceive, but little to do with party politics, or I should he the last to lake any active part in its disems.on. But so far from tills, it deeply, nay vitally concerns every individual, high or low, rich or poor ; it is a question of human happi ness and human liberty, one that deeply in volves the rights of man. If these do not come within the province of a clergyman, 1 am at a loss to understand what does. When the f. ight f.ii pestilence visited our city last year, Clergy men wore not only allowed, but in vited, to hold public meetings, without the fear ot “violence and bloodshed” before their eyes: and is not the country suffering now a far more dreadful visita tion th in was tiiat of the Cholera? And must a clergyman he termed a “ political demagogue” l for desiring to sec the community relieved trom the ponderous evils under which they groan ? Have they not an equal iutcicst in tiie prosperity am! happiness of the country with that of any other Mass or profession ? Another error into which you have fallen, is, that the aop*auso bestowed upon my humble ef forts on the Ilfi of July, influenced me to pursue tiie course I gave —so far from it tiiat I have ex erted myself to the utmost of my abilities for the last eight years .in favour of equal laws and equal rights. It. was uot yesterday, or last week that I espoused the cause of those who provide all flic, necessaries of fffe, build all our houses and fight all our battles; I have for years endea vored to defend from the encroachments of mo nopolies and incorporated we yl! h, th c flock whose fleece keeps me warm, whose i.abyr supports mo iu comfort, and whose sinewy arms defend the fire-side from profanation in scasoi. s M peril. In doing this I have subjected myself t o • 1 pitiless storm of obloquy ami reproach ; I have .rtood in the breach of almost universal public cetisu.c on the part of my dearest friends, those whe'vn most fondly loved and most, dearly prized, Hav ing few to whisper a word of defence or palliation to my op posers—bolt after bolt of malignant vi tuperation has fallen upon my naked head which n bared to the,storm. Those who accuse me of having done ail this; of having sacrificed friends, personal case and comfort, as well as the means of wealth, merely for “ the acquisition of noto riety and personal influence,” do me the highest injustice. I seek no worldly applause or public office, for doing my duty to my country—the only reward 1 ask or expect is tiiat of an appro ving conscience. In your account of the meeting, published on Monday, you make frequent allusions to “mob spirit,” “ mob violenceyou indirectly hint that “mischief and spoliation” was the object of the meeting. I think this a most ungenerous and unfounded reproach upon ail who were concern ed in calling their fellow citizens together. Al low' me to ask what evidence you possess, that would justify such a startling and appalling con clusion ? That “mob violence” was not the in tention of the primary movers in the matter, I hope to show conclusively in very few words. The meeting was called for those, and those only, who were “opposed to the present irredee mable paper currency, which is producing such disas'rous effects upon the prosperity of the country, its blighting, withering, palsying influ ence upon individual industry and the public morals.” When those embraced in the objects of the call, arrived at the City Hall, they found it already occupied by those who were not invited to attend, who by previous concert had deter mined to monopolize the Hall granted for anoth cr purpose; instead of resenting this, they quietly and peaceably remained outside, to the number of several hundred. Docs this look like a “mob spirit?” Suppose when the Public Dinner was given to Messrs. Calhoun and Preston, that some hundreds had without invitation, rushed into the hail and had taken possessions of all the scats at the tables, and the invited guests had remain ed quietly without; would this have manifested any thing like “mob violence” on their part?— The case is directly in point—the Mayor had granted the use of the City Hall fora definite purpose—it was therefore no more public on that occasion, than was Stuart’s Hotel on the day of the Public Dinner. I need not add that all the “mob violence” that was manifested at the mee ting, was on the part of the highly respectable gentlemen who intruded themselves where they were not invited—one of whom in open public meeting, without provocation, struck with his clenched fist, an unarmed and defenceless cler gyman, while he was sitting down, and while Ins head was turned in a contrary direction, with his whole strength, and would have repeated the blow, ha ! he not been prevented ; and yet this brutal outrage did not excite those whom you characterize as a “mob” to “mischief or vio lence.” Ii was not on the score of fear that they abstained from resenting it on the spot, but be cause they arc the friends of order, the suppor ters of the constitution and the laws. Although this indignity took place directly before the eyes of the Mayor, within a very few feet of where he stood, yet, he manifested" no token of disap proval of this broach of the public peace ; nor did any of the respectable gentlemen who ma naged the concerns of the meeting. In your article, my veracity seems to be ques tioned in alindingto my Slaving named “another individual” without his authority, as presiding of ficer instead ol the mayor. The * individual’ whom I named, was the Hon. Henry L. Pinck ney, who had been waited upon by a committee, and had agreed to lake the chair—he stated, moreover, that he was opposed to the whole sys tem ol banking, and unless the Legislature gran ted the people relief, they would be justified in having a revolution. It was not out of disres pect to the mayor that I named Mr. Pinckney, huf simply and alone to preserve the public peace, and this I distinctly stated to the meeting. Again, you err in saying that I came here to defend the people against the proclamation and force bill—l stated no such thing. Have we not fallen upon evil times if the free citizens ot a groat Republic cannot be allowed to assemble peaceably ‘to devise suitable means lor relieving the community from tjie ponderous evils which arc crushing them to the earth,’ without being subjected to personal violence and outrage? It was one of the causes of a seven years war with Great Britain, because the peo ple were not allowed this precious privilege of assembling for a redress of grievances; and is this unhappy state of things again to return in these palmy days of our country’s pride? Why this shrinking timidity on the part of those who control our banking institutions ? If their cause is founded upon a rock, why fear the rains and the floods—let them come, if not built upon sand their fabric will stand firm as the Andes. Why then fear what a solitary individual could say in a public meeting in the midst of an army of bank directors, with a phalanx of fee’d attornies and bank borrowers to back them? Let argument be met with argument, not with brute force: let reason do her work in refuting error, if it he one, not brutal blows; which though they may pros trate an opponent and destroy our individual lib erty, vet will never convince any that paper mo ney is not a withering curse to the land. At the meeting aforesaid, the bankers turned '• out in their undivided strength—their ablest de. : fenders were on the spot prepared for action. < Could there ever have been a more favorable op. i po.tuiiUy to have refuted our errors upon the banking system ? Inste ad of meeting the ques tion with the boldness of fearless honest}', they immediately moved an adjournment without the objects of the meeting having been stated by the chairman or any one else. Should any one offer }o.i a oank note, but refuse to let you examine it, would you not suspect it to be a counterfeit ? If a merchant should keep his goods in the dark and refuse to allow them to be taken into the light before you made a purchase, would you nut suspect that ail was not as it should be ? After a lawyer had staled his side of a case in court, shouid he beg ot the judge and jury not to hear a word upon the other side, and should even resort to “ mob violence” to prevent it, would not the general impression be that his cause was too j weak or 100 corrupt to bear examination?, I submit these few remarks to a candid and indulge! t public, in whose sense of justice I have unlimited confidence; they will judge of my motives by my acts. If I sutler it is better lo tto so “for well doing than for evil doing.” I have not a doubt that they will vindicate the right of freedom of opinion and freedom of speech, at all lisks and at every hazard. Respectfully, TIIEOPHTLUS FISK. [From the Charleston Patriot .l GOVERNMENT AND BANKING. NO, 5. There is one truth which the history of Banks establishes beyond ail denial, which is tiiat du ring excitement, in periods of apparent, commer cial prosperity, they sympathise fully with the wants of Merchants, and during war with the wants of Government. This is as applicable to a National Bank as to all other similar establish ments. In fact a Bank connected with Gov ernment sympathises more intimately with its j wants during war than other Banking lin tiiu j lions. Let the history of all such banks as have been allied io the State in any manner or degree he consulted, and it will be found that the public has experienced the evils of this connexion. VVc need only advert to the history of Banking es tablishments connected with Government in Europe, in proof of this position. In every country on the Cont inent, in Austria, in Russia, in Denmark, in Sweden, the alliance has resul ted as well in loss to the bank us injury to the people. In the case of the Bank of England the fact is not loss striking. That institution was compelled to suspend specie payments in 1797, in conscqaonStrof liio large advances made to the British Government from 1704 to 1707, on account principally of 1 lie Austrian loans; and at a subsequent period from 1890 to the end of the war, the return to specie payments was, it. is well known, prevented, front ■ the fact that the Government found Ihe Bank ton convenient an instrument for its financial plans to dispense with its agencyl Now on what principles which arc known to go vern human nature can it. bo alleged, that a Na tional Bank in the UniteeWS tales would not du ring war lead to similar evils. The connexion between Government and a Public Bank is cer tain to produce evils in this country of a greater magnitude than in other, when the public ne cessities arc urgent. The imposition of direct taxes has always been an unpopular measure in the United States, and instead of its being t,iie first, it is always the last resort when supplies are wanted during hostilities in which we may happen to be engaged. This was strikingly shown during the last war, when the aid of the uaper system was sought to carry ns through l.i - at conflict. The banks lent themselves freely po ,’he Government, and those who made loans to the Government, by borrowing of them. It offin i mo great a violence to probabilit y to sup pose t.’at a National Bank would not have sym. pathisea with all the wants of Government, in even a ore airv degree than did the State insti tutions. li’ sgch an establishment had been in existence dun ng the last war in what manner would it have c./'phn'cd a large capital, exedpt through the publiG expenditure, in advances to Government. Tiie-vr had thrown out of era ployment those largo capitals which It ad filled the channels of cornmci ce. Unless there had been an adequate system of internal taxation es tablished at the commencement of the war, as a support to public credit, by wi. ic h the monied resources of private capitalists vfo.’hi have been drawn out in loans'to Government, the resort to a public bank, for the aid of its credit, would have been inevitable. The same eons q 'unices would have followed as resulted from the hpavy advances made by the State Banks. An ft depreciation of the currency would have tak m place, accompanied, as then, by a suspension of | specie payments. We are aware that the authority of Mr. Gal latin is in opposition tons, in this view of the subject. In his pamphlet on Banks and Cur rency published in 1830, lie affirms that a Na tional institution would have prevented the sus pension of specie payments in 1814. If wc were to give any faith to the reasons alleged at that time for the suspension by the banks, we are unable to understand in what manner or by what means t his result could have been prevented by such an institution. From the rigorous blockade of the ports of the United States by the enemy, foreign supplies could not he paid for by the exportation of our produce. The im portation of those supplies through the Eastern States having been large, produced a continual drain from the banks of the Middle States for specie to pay for them, while a considerable commerce in British Government Bills of Ex change further contributed to exhaust them of their specie. These were the ostensible causes set forth at that time for the suspension, and as they were produced by the laws of trade, we cannot conceive, if the explanation be correct, by what system of checks a National institution could have counteracted them. The fact has been much dwelt upon, that be tween 1811 and 1816 the number of banks in the United States has increased from 84 t 0242, and the notes in circulation from $28,000,000 -to .$66,500,000,,which increase would not have taken place, it is alleged, if the control of the former Bank of the U. States had not been ro removed. Now here was a period of five years that elapsed, during which this increase of bank issues bad taken place, and down to 1814 there had been no considerable augmentation of banks and bank capital. It was in March, 1814, that Pennsylvania chartered 41 banks. Why should the power of increasing the State hanks, by the the non-renewal of the charter of the former ‘ Bank of the United States, have lain dormant for between three and four years, while in antic:potion, of the non-renewal of the char ter of the last national Bank, there should 1 have been in lb3i and 1835 so great an increase ot oanks. The only rational explanation of , which this admits is, that therd was no conside- i rablc augmentation of banks at the first period, i the demands for the government expenditure I • called lulo existence an additional number; ! while at the last period, commercial excitement ' and tiie demand for capital for internal improve- ! meins, v.cic causes ox disturbance that operated anterior to the expiration of the late charter. We find from Dir. Gallatin’s statements that 1 the amount borrowed by thcrgovernment du. 1 ring the last war in the -Middle States, was, in- ; eluding the funded and floating debt, about 45 S millions, which sum corresponds von* nearly J wit h the in creased issues of the banks ’between 1811 and 1816. There was very little borrowed ? < out. of the Middle States. Fiom this \ icw of our subject wc arc led to S conclude, that nearly tiie whole of thc angmen ted issues of paper by the banks, be twee n° 1813 f and 1816, were made to meet the increased pub- 3 lie expenditure, and that the same causes, in the absence of an adequate system of internal taxa tion, would have induced augmented issues by a c National Bank, if, at that time, there had been i one in existence. The circumstance, that from f Isal to lbl4, three years atter the expiration of r the ciiarter ot lac former hank, there had been 1 no material increase of banks and bank issues, is conclusive to show that their multiplication in 1 1814 and 1815, resulted from a demand by gov- 0 eminent, for bank accommodation. That de- t maud, as we have shown, arose out of tire public d expenditure, which not developing itself until o 1813, was not followed until the succeeding year by the creation of many additional banks "and ° by any considerable increase of bank issues. On the same principle of explanation of an increa- £ sed demand for bank credits, a large number of Sl banks were created in 1834 and 1835, two years a before the expiration of the late charter of the U. Slates Bank, in consequence of commercial v ' speculation, which had begun to developc itself at that period. This explanation is in accord. u ancc tvilh the history of an increase of banks 01 and bank issues all oyer the world, aud with the p. received principles on the subject. There must L»e an antecedent or nearly contemporaneous de mand for bank credits before a sufficient induce ment is presented for the creation of additional banks, which arises, during peace, in times ol great apparent commercial prosperity, from an extension of mercantile transactions, and during war from the demands of government for public expenditure. It may however be said that a public bank contributes to the convenience of tbe Treasury, in the transmission as well as safe keeping ot the public money both in peace .and in war. 1 his service is not performed without an equivalent. The equivalent is the use of the public deposilos. Now as we conceive that a large share of the evils vve arc at present enduring have arisen from the use of these deposits, we shall next enter on this branch of our subject.

The news created great excitement and alarm on ’Change and in the money circles. ’the r i imes of the 12th of June contains thaw hole account of our suspensions and the movements of Mr. Swartwout. In our next edition we shall en deavor to give a clear and succinct statement of English opinions in relation to this country. The Europe is said to have carried out but 820,- 000 in specie. 'Pile Times has the call of Congress by tbe Pre sident. Information had gone out by the Europe, in pri vate letters, that money would he plenty here at 7 per cent., in consequence of the suspension. Who were the financiers that, made such a prophecy? In the Tirads of the 13th, we find it stated that a rumor was abroad to this effect: The house of Browne, Brothers & Co. had applied to the Bank of England for assistance, and that it was determined to give it. Wells & Co ,of Paris, had applied to the Bank of France, lor four millions of francs, and received the requisite aid. In Manchester, the firm of Rarasbottom & Co. had gone by the board for an immense amount This looks ominous for the manufacturing districts.

LIVERPOOL, JUNE B.— Coflon. —The Cotton market continues very steady, with a fair demand fir all dcstriptions. The sales on Tuesday wore 2590 bags, and yesterday 4000 bags were sold, in cluding 209 Pernams, 8i lo 9d.; and 500 Surats, 3i to 41. 800 American were taken on speculation. LIVERPOOL, JUNE 10.— Cotton. —The unfa vorable a< count received here at the close of last week, announcing the stoppage of three London houses extensively engaged in the Ameriran trade, produced less effect on our Cotton market than was generally anticipated, though it appeared, for the moment, to have a very unfavorable influence,crea ting a want of confidence, and inducing buyers to ac t '•actions':-; in consequence of which, prices of Amer. ean gave way id to id per lb.; the demand, liovvev or, soon revived, and we have had a heavy week’s hn’iness, the daily sales increasing as the week adVcact’d, so that, since Tuesday, we have recovered ti.s depression previously quoted, and the market closes without change from the prices of last week. In Bi.az'l there has not been mucudone, and the 'common qualifies of Pernams a.'i 4 Maran hams are id. lower. Egyptians arc in limi/od de mand, and sales have been made in them at in de cline. Surats continue in demand, and is without change in price. VVe had a very good attendance of the trade yesterday, who bought freely at enr rentrates. 2700 Surats and 300 Demerara are an nounced for public sale on Friday next. 6500 Ame rican have been taken on speculation, and 4CO A raerican, and 1250 Surat for export. 90 Sea Islands, 17 to 27d; 7640 Uplands, 35 to 7id; 4440 Mobile,&c.4i to 7id; 8300 New Orleans, 4i to Sd; 200 Egyptians, 8 s to lid; 800 Pernams, &c. 7f to 9£d, 730 Bahkis, <tc. 55 to Sid; 350 Ma ranham, 7i to 81d, Sawginned, 5i to 7d; 30 Dema rara, &c. 12 to 12sfd; 2ooLaguayra, 5 to 7id, and 2830 Surat, &c. 3i to sd. The market remains steady, though less active. Only a few buyers being in the market to-day, and plenty of Cotton offering, there may have occurred irregularity in sales, but no change can be noticed. The-sales amount to 2500 hags, and include 530 Brazils, 100 Egyptian, and 30 Surat. The arrivals arc 7 vessels*from Mobile, and 5 from New Orleans with Cotton. LIVERPOOL, JUNE 13.—Tn consequence of very large importations from Egypt and the Linked States, during the last few days, the market to-day has been more inactive, still former prices are sup ported, and the market has closed firm. TRADE AT LEEDS, JUNE 7.—The demand for goods at this market, on Saturday, was rather better than for some market days, but the improve ment was so slight that it was only of importance as showing that business was not getting worse.— The recent failures in London, in connexion with the American trade, will, it is feared, have an in jurious effect upon this market for some weeks to come. HAL RE, JUNE 15.— Cottons. —There has been a continuation of good demand, and at steady pri ces, on the part of the trade, during the last eight days.

We received early ihife morning, a Havre paper containing one day later news than any published in the morning papers. It was brought up by our famous news schooner Celeste, the Teazer. and the rest of the fleet, remaining outside lo catch any , thing further. The commercial revulsion is spreading over all Europe. 1 At the sitting ofthe Chamber or Peers ofthe I6th of June, the minister of war demanded a credit for the army of Africa of 14,652,307 francs. The or- ■ der of the day was then taken up—the discussion ofthe bill to regulate weights and measures. In the Chamber of Deputies, same day, the order ofthe day was a general discussion upon railways. c .Mr. Jauhert was in favor of extending them in every , part of the kingdom, but objected to"the plan of dis- . cussing the subject in open chamber. After a stormy session, the Chamber adjourned without coming to E my decision. ? The Duke of Orleans is in great favor with the / workmen of Paris. He is going to establish a pen- *' don list for the widows and children of those ,vho w ere trampled to death in the Champ de Mars in the occasion of the late military fete. ~ M Haussey, the ex-minister of Charles X., is at 5- 1 ’aris publishing his memoirs. 1( At the./eie miliiaire in the Champ de Mars, 27 persons were killed and 150 wounded by the rush of the mutitude through the narrow gates of the en closure. The Chamber of Deputies, at its session of the 15th of June, neglected the proposition to make a canal joining the watersof the ocean with those of the Mediterranean byway of the Garonne.

Sebor, w e have received London papers to the 20th alt.inclu sive. The King of England is dead. The news of this event is thus announced in the Morning Chro nicle ofthe 20th. His Majesty expired about twenty minutes past three o’clock this morning. The Archbishop of ( 'antcrhnry was present, as were also several mem bers of the King's family, immediately after the decease, the Archbishop of Canterbury left Wisul j sor Castle for town. LONDON, JLNE 19.—The proceedings at the I Stock Exchange continue wholly devoid of interest, 1 and the quotations scarcely vary. Consols left off I at 91? to f; Exchequer Bills and India Bonds, 33 to 35, premium. United States Bank Post Notes are 93 to 94. “SAN SEBASTIAN, JUNE 13, 1837. “The theatre of war is transferred to Catalonia. Shame to the Spanish Generals for it! Nothing can excuse them for having allowed Don Carlos and Don Sebastian to have progressed so far. — However, what can you expect where treachery and incapacity are the sole attributes that guide their conduct? After all, 1 should not he surprised to sec Don Carlos on the throne ol Madrid, not that I think lie lias the slightest chance of remaining there, thanks to the republicans for it, not to the constitutional army ami the Queen’s Government. LIVERPOOL, JUNE 17.— Colton. —Or.r Cotton market Ims been very steady to-day, and in some instances higher prices have been obtained. The sales amount to 4000 bags, of which about 1000 A nwrican, and 200 Surats, were taken for export. — There has been little inquiry for speculation. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET. Monday Evening, July 24, li o’clock. Up—up—tip—things have gone. A livelier and better fbeling pervades all classes. Every body is pleased that the intelligence of our disastrous sus pensions has been received in Europe with such a good fee'ing. Money is plenty in the street on available securi ties at 51 per cent, per annum. 4 bis shows an im mense contraction in ike business of the country, for the banks have not been extending —as was con templated by the London Times. L nited States Bank shares opened, the second call, at 114, and closed at lISL Every other stock has experienced an advance. Five franc pieces have receded three per cent, from Saturday. Other coins are about the same. Treasury Drafts are held at 104 a 107. The whole tenor of our Emopean intelligence is highly calculated to beget a new confidence on this side the water, and when they shall receive the hea vy remittances from this country in specie and in cotton, American credit will rise to its old point. Mr. Biddle Ims sent out an agent to get an exten sion of credit for his institution, so as to enable him lo command the exchanges on the resumption of specie payments. NEW YORK, JULY 25. STILL LATER FROM EUROPE. DEATH OF WILLIAM IV., KING OF K N’t; I, A NO. The packet ship St. James, commanded by Cap tain Sebor, has arrived from London, bringing pa pers of the 20th of June. They announce the death of the king of. England on the morning of that day. This monarch is to be succeeded by the Princess Victoria, daughter of the late Edward, Duke of Kent. She was born on the 21th of .May, 1819, and her arrival at her eighteenth year was late ly celebrated by dinners among the vvhigs and ra dicals. The Princess has been educateffwitli great care by Her mother the Dutchess of Kent, and be ing constantly surrounded by the whig friends of her surviving parent, will learn, it is supposed, strongly to the side of that party. She was not, it is said, on the best terms with her royal uncle. One effect of this event w ill he the severance of the kingdom of Hanover from the crown of Eng land. That principality does not admit the female succession. It will descend to the Duke of Cum berland. LONDON, JUNE 16 —The stock of bullion in the Bank is w e are glad to say, progressively ac cumulating; and amounts at present we believe to about 5,300,C00/. It is a fact, that while bullion is being imported generally from the < eminent, from 10,060/. to 15,00Uj. a week goes to Holland, as pay ment by the gulls who have bought Dutch Stock. Some of onr contempoaries seem to he surprised that gold should come here from Russia, but it is quire as much in the natural course ofthings-as that sugar should come from Jamaica. Russia bids fair to bo the Mexico of the Old World. Last year the produce of her silver mines amounted to about 608,000/., and that of her gold mines to about 335,- 000/. Not having, notwithstanding- he rapid in crease of wealth and civilization, a demand for so large an amount ofbullion, the supplies necessarily finds its way to the best market, which at this mu merit happens to be England. LONDON, JUNE 19—The accounts from the manufacturin'? districts generally are very flat, but we hope soon ,*o see an improvement, as the most serious cause of uneasiness has been removed; however, it cannot bo denied that the early pros pect of a general moumitij," t ends to aggravate the stagnation of trade, which originated with the sus pension ofthe American orders, the discredit resulting from the embarrassments o»" that branch of commerce. In Liverpool there was a much better feeling in all departments on Saturday. STILL LATER FROM ENGLAND. The arrival of the packet ship Roseoe, Captain ! Delano, just ns we were going to press, has put us in possession of London papers to the 23d of June, and Liverpool papers of the 24th. We copy the declaration of the new Queen, made to the Privy Council on the 20th. She was proclaimed Queen of England on the morning of the 21st, at the Palace of St. James, in presence of a great multitude which assembled to witness the ceremony. Standing between Lord Melbourne and Lord Lansdowne, in their state dresses, and accompanied by her mother and oth ers of her court, she appeared at one ofthe windows and received the cheers of the people. The prin cipal Herald advanced and read the proclamation, finishing with “God save the Queen,” when the cheers were deafening. At a quarter past ten a procession formed, which moved through the city, proclaiming her Majesty in different places. The accession of Queen Victoria, appears to give the vvhigs and radicals an increase of confidence. The packet ship Mediator had arrived at Ports mouth with intelligence from New York to the 2d of June. The English papers take occasion to sneer at the revolutionary tone of some of tlie A mencan presses on the subject of the payment of the duties in specie. They remark that the “bark ofthe Americans is worse than their bite.” Lord Melbourne stated in the House of Peers, that Her .Majesty the Queeti-would send a message to botli Houses. It was thought the message would refer with regret to the late King’s demise, to the condition of the public business, and recommend some temporary provision for the public service, with a view to the speedy prorogation of Parlia- ! ment. After the prorogation, a dissolution will fol low in the course of a month or six weeks. A subsequent date informs us that the message was delivered >o the House, expressing the grief the Queen felt at the death of the late King, recom mending tiic House to proceed with the business j before it, and advising that no new measures should I be introduced. An address was agreed lo by the house. An address was also agreed to be presented to the Queen Dowager. The death of the King has given rise to strong party feeling. An article in the Liverpool Chroni cle describes an attaekxif rhe London Times on the young Queen and her mother, as calculated to ex cite disgust and reprobation from men of all parlies. The packet ship Columbus, arrived out from New York on the 22d June. She brought accounts from the first of June. Letters from Lisbon of ihe 11th of June, say that the new .Ministry is unpopular, and the National Guard much wearied with their labor and discon tented. The Cortes had decreed that the Ministry must evacuate their seats in the Cortes. London, June 20.—The following Declaration appears as an extraordinary Gazelle this evening ; At the Court at Kensington, the 20th day of June, 1837, present the Queen’s Most Excellent Majesty in Council, her Majesty being this day present in Council, was pleased to make the following De claration, viz. : “The severe and afflicting loss which the nation has sustained by the death of his Majesty, my be- , loved uncle, has devolved upon me the duty ofad- • ministering the government of this empire. XHis awful responsibility is imposed upon me so sudden- i ly, and at so early a period of my life, that I should i feel myself utterly opprest by the burden, were I • not sustained by the hope that Divine Providence i which has called me to this work, will give me' t strength for the performance rs it, and that I shall < find, in the purity of rny intentions, and in mv zeal i for the public welfare, that support and those re- t I sources which usually belong to a more mature age, and to longer experience. “Iplace my firm reliance upon the wisdom of Parliament, and upon the loyalty and affection ol my people. I esteem it also a peculiar advantage, that I succeed to a Sovereign whose constant re gard for the rights and liberties of his subjects, and whose desire to promote the amelioration cf the Laws and Institutions of the (’ountry, have render ed his name the object of general attachment and veneration. “ Educated in England, under the tender and en lightened care of a most affectionate Mother, 1 have learned from my infancy to respect and love the Constitution of my Native Country. “!t will be my unceasing study to maintain the Reformed Religion as by Law established, secur ing at the same time to all the full enjoyment of Religions Liberty; and 1 shall steadily protect the rights, and promote to the utmost of my power, the happiness and welfare of all classes of my subjects. “ Whereupon the Lords of the Council made it their humble request to her Majesty,that her Majesty’s most gracious Declaration to their Lordships might be made public, which her Majesty was pleased to order accordingly. “ C. C. GREVILLE.” Her Majesty was at the same time graciously pleased to continue all the members of the Privy Council, and to declare, as she was required bylaw to subscribe to two copies of a declaration to sup port and maintain the Church of Scotland, that she was willing to do so. United Slates Bank Post Notes are quoted nomi nally 93 to 94. The Liverpool and Jlanchester Share Markets are better than for some time past. SUPPLEMENT TO THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY, JUNE 20. Whitehall June 20. On Tuesday morning, June 20th inst. at. 12 min utes past 2 o'clock, our late most gracious Sove reign King William IV. expired at his Castle of Windsor, in the 82d year of his age, and die sev enth year of his reign. This event has caused one universal feeling of regret and sorrow to his late Majesty’s faithful and attached subjects, to whom he was endeared by the deep interest in their welfare which he invariably manifested, as well as by the manly virtues which marked and adorned his character. ; Upon the intimation of this distressing event, the 1 Lords of the Privy Council assembled this day at Kensington Palace, and gave orders for proclaim -1 ing tier present Majesty,who made a most gracious ! declaration to them, and caused all the Lords and : others of the late King’s Privy Council, who were then present, to be sworn of her Majesty’s Privy ■ Council. LIVERPOOL, JUNE 20.—The failures yester day and to-day arc three. All the persons who have failed were engaged in the American trade. This was market day in .Manchester. There was a good demand fur goods and yarns, and the market more lively than it had been for several L weeks previously. LIVERPOOL, JUNE 24.—There has been a very decided improvement in the cotton market since the worst has been known relative to the ex > pectations from the United States, it is some satis faction to be assured even of the worst When that is known, doubt ceases, and the springs of enter prise obtain a new elasticity. Trade is a thing governed by fixed principles, and of these the lead ’ mg one is a certainly of the grounds on which it acts. In this place, the assurance that commercial affairs in America have passed their crisis, has caused the re-aefionhas created therebound w hich, ' with ordinary care, will probably eventuate in a ’ wholesome and, at the same time, an extended re newal of the enterprise which, discreetly worked, 1 causes general prosperity and individual success. The improvement in tlie cotton market has been followed, of course, by a like improvement in other produce, for as the chief staple sinks or rises in 1 price, there is a corresponding decline or increase in olliers. This improvement will c-rend itself'of course, beyond Liverpool, because what causes the advance here, must produce good effects else where. The increased demand for cotton Acre leads to the conclusion that lite manufacturers of Manchester, Stockport, &e will resume their full tide of work; —and, indeed, the latest reports from the manu . factoring districts already show some of the fa vourable results we mention. But, it is not alone from what wo may call “ the cotton dis tricts” that . such reports may be anticipated. Trade, although a much extended and delicate complication, has its various details mutually de pendent upon each other. The same causes which gives life and spirit to I lie Cotton market of Liver pool, leads to an improvement in the demand for hardware from Birmingham, for cutlery from Shef field, wvollen cloths from Yorkshire and the West of England, printed calicoes from Manchester, and china from the potteries of Staffordshire, Worces ter, and Derby.—J fail. Let ns hope with the reviving energies of trade, the spirit of over speculation may not revive also, ft is a wild and delusive sport. It has led to many, if not. most of the evils under which the country lias for some months boon suffering, and from which it is only now beginning to show sirnptoms of re covery. An awful lesson has been taught.—may the merchants and manufacturers of England pro fit by it. LONDON, JUNE 21. —The pressure for money has continued in the commercial discount market, but it has been got over without producing any casualties. The greater part of the American bills afloat must now, it is conce'ved, be disposed of. At the Stock Exchange.great inactivity prevail ed. A trifling advance occurred in Consols, which closed at. 914 to 4to f. Exchequer bills are rather lower, and left off at 31 to 33 premium. Bank stock is 206 to 207. LEV ERJPOOL, .*i. > c. 23.—Cotton.—We have had a large extent of business doing this week, in the course of which from id to id advance on A raericun descriptions was realized; but during the two last days, the market has been Less firm, with more inclination to sell at id to id improvement on the prices of Friday last; Brazils are more sale able at the current rates, but Egyptian and Sea Island are lower. Speculators have taken 8500 bales of American, and 100!) Surat; and exporters 1800 American, 800 Surat, 310 Madras, 350 Bengal, and 100 Pcrnams. The sales to-day are about 4000 bags ofall kinds. Tho imports this week is 48,725 bags, and the sales are 3(5,410 hags, among which are 70 Sea Island, 15 ! g 28; 7750 Upland, 44 a 8; 11,300 New Orleans, 44 a 5'?, : 8160 Alabama, &c. 4-4 a 71; 1430 Fern am bu- I co, 7 a 94; 1010 Bahia, 5} a 74; 950Maranham, 6 a 8|; 70 iJemarara, 74 a 32; 230 Laguira, 5 a 74; 590 Egyptian, 7?a 10; 3320 Surat, 2} a 54; 350 Bengal, 24~a34. __ LIVERPOOL, JU NE 20.—We believe wc may congratulate ourselves «.n a more sound and heal thy state of'.tie business of this great, mart than has existed for several months past. Confidence has been, in a great measure,restored by the announce ment that the Bank had resolved to bear Messrs. Browns through their difficulties ; and as the sta bility of many houses both here and in the manufac turing districts depended upon Ibis, we cannot but consider that the Bank directors, uninfluenced by any hut a good feeling for the welfare of all, but particularly of the class dependent on the manu factories for their bread, have come to a wise and judicious resolution. Although the import of Cotton during the last week has been unusually large, 54 vessels having brought notless than 80,(X?0 to 90,000 bags, the mar ket has been very brisk, and the aspect of 'Change cheerful and encouraging ; an advance of id. to 4d. her lb. was obtained yesterday, and has been fully established by tho sale of nearly 6.000 bags to-day, which, being the .Manchester market day, is usual ly a dull day here. 1,000 bags of -Surat to-day, have been taken by speculators. Extract of a letter dated, “HAARE, Ji NE 22d.—-Cotton in good request, and gradually increasing in prices, particularly for ordinary sorts. In other articles-we have no change to notice. Office of the Mobile Chronicle, } July 25. £ We have been politely favored with the following extract of a letter, dated Lackaxge, 20th July. Tho troops under command of UoJ. Brown had an engagement with the Indians yesterday, on Alaqua Creek, about seven miles below the old Court House, and after an animated fight of twenty min utes, the Indians gave way, leaving five of their number dead on the ground, the loss of the whiles was one killed and five wounded. Captain Haw kins displayed great courage, led his men 'calla,ult imo tho midst of the enemy. c ‘ J He received three wounds, though none thought to be danger- us. His first Lieutenant, Mr. .Myers, is also wounded. The individual killed, was a Mr! Clark of the Franklin Volunteers, as arc all the wounded. The foregoing statement of the fight of yesterday, is from Mr. Jesse Evans, who was in hearing and arrived a few minmes after the firing ceased, and I believe it to ho substantially correct.” —Pensacola Gazette. MOBILE, July 28.— Cotton. —Arrived this week 211 bales, and exported during tho same period 534 bales, leaving now on hand and on shipboard, not cleared, 7696 hales. The operations of the past week have been ne cessarily limited, and sales are bat 300 bales, at prices ranging from Bto 11 cents. There is no cot ton above fair in market, and the principal portion of our stock is even below this grade; the whole • amount on sale does not exceed 500 hales. About 1500 bales are laid aside, as under limits beyond ' the market value. Although the demand is good, ' and lame transactions might be effected were there - a stock"to operate upon, there is somewhat of a < failing off in the request for the purpose of remit- 1 lance's.

Certainly such a union man, after acting so inconsistently and censurably, could ' not complain should he be discarded by the union ’ party, considered as a renegade, and unfit to hold communion with his former union associates ? The fact is we arc in critical times. Our oppo nents arc making strenuous efforts to acquire povv- j er, by destroying the ascendency of the union par- i ty.

DEPARTURE OF THE VOLUNTBBRSi By a prospectus published in this Morning’s pa per it will be seen, that Messrs. W. T.

The elections took place in Maryland on the 26th of July. A slip from the office of the Baltimore ’ American, gives us the following results, so far as heard from. In the 4th district, comprising the cities of Balti more and Annapolis, and Anne Arundel county, the election for two members of Congress, resulted in favor of the Van Buren candidates, Messrs. How ard and M’Kim. The whig candidates were Messrs. Kennedy and Ritlgeley. The average majority of the Van Buren ticket was 251. In a day or two wo shall hear of the result in ether districts. k FOREIGN NEWS. The foreign intelligence published in this day’s paper, is interesting and of some importance. We copy the following remarks, on the relative position of parties in England, at the present time, from a slip of the New York Courier & Enquirer of the 27th July: Although the demise of the King of England will not. in our opinion, cause any change in the foreign policy of that great country, yet will it be followed, m airprobabihty, by one ot the severest struggles for political ascendency, between the parties into 1 which the people are divided, that has been wit nessed for a long time past. A dissolutionofthe existing Parliament six months after the King’s death, and the issuing of w rits by his successor, for the election of another, is a ne cessary consequence of that event. From an ob servation made by one of the present Ministers, it is probable the present House of Commons will merely clo.-e the business it has already began,and vote the supplies necessary, when a general elec tion will immediately take place. There are irreconcilable differences enough be tween the Conservative party and the Whigs to make the contest a severe one, hut to these may now be added the fact, that on its result will pro bably depend the choice the Queen will make of a husband, as this choice will, it is to be presumed, be materially influenced by her Ministers, and these Ministers she must select from that party which can • command a majority in ihe popular branch of the legislature. The German families who have be come allied to the British crown have generally professed high Conservative principles, and have always been considered auxiliaries by the Tory party. It was, therefore, not without astonishment
