It is slated in the Baltimore American slip, of Monday, that the report of the majority of the Committee of the House of Representatives, ap» pointed to investigate the circumstances of the Ir.te duel, concludes with a resolution to expel Mr. Graves from the House Messrs. Gronnell and Rariden presented a counter report, and Mr. Elmore presented a third, dill'ering from both. Coroner's Inquest. An inquest was held yesterday over the hotly of William Wallace, who was (omul dead n a field, the oilier side of Hawk’s Gully, in the tipper part of the town. The jury after a care ful investigation, brought in a verdict that, the deceased came to his death by intoxication, &c. Constitutionalist, yesterday. The Board es Aldermen of the city of St, Louis have ballotted one hundred and forty five times for a President, without citeding a choice Mexico. News has been received at New Oilcans from Matamoras, as late as the Kith insl. Great ap prehension was felt in that city, of an attack from the French squadron, and the Mexican army of 2000 men, which recently marched toward..

A noth Bit Captive Chief Gone —Jumper this distinguished Seminole Chief, died at the Barracks in New Orloanson the morning of the 18th instant, and was buried in (he afternoon.

Advertiser, Aprd 21. From Upper Canada. Ou. private advices from Toronto arc to Wed nesday last. Al 9 o’clock on that day General •SnriiEtiLxNii was BANISHED FOR LIFE, to New South Wales. It was the prevailing opinion at. Toronto, on Wednesday last, that there would he no further executions, except perhaps of General Theller, and opinions were shout equally divided, as to j-ttle fate of that individual, between 'death and j banishment. Mr. John G. Parker had p’caded guilty, and thrown himself upon tho court for mercy ; it is feared bj his friends, that he will he among those who will be banished to New South Wales. On the 13ih the court was occupied with the of Dr. Hunter, who was finally acquitted. Samuel Lount, who was executed at Toronto on the P2lh, was upward of si/ feet in height and aged about 4 7 years, and is said to have been a very good looking man. He was a native ol Peensylvania, and had been in Canada since 18- 12. He married a daughter of Mr. Soles, a weal thy farmer, who resides a few miles north of To ronto; he has left a widow and seven children, NVe are informed that since tho execution a daughter of Lount has died of grief. She visited her father in prison', a short time Ivcfore his exe. cution, since which her grief lias been extreme. Wc understand that when Sir (Jcorge Arthur was waited on with entreaties that the life of ‘Count might fey spared, he said that ho had giv en the matter that consideration which the dis tressing case required, hut that He could not.con sistently with his views of justice, extend tho royal clemency to the cases of the two individu als, Lount and Matthews. In consideration of his family, however, the property of Lount should not he conliscatcd, hut given to Mrs. L. for the support of herself and children. Correspondent of the Baltimore American. The late Duel. As soon as the vole was declared upon the private bill which was before the House during the (Toy, MrToucey, the chairman of the com mittee, rose to Thake a report from a select com mittee. It was well understood by the House that (ho report was in reference to the lute duel. Mr Touccy said that he had hcenjunanimous- ] ly instructed to report to day with an order that 1 the further consideration should he postponed to two weeks from next Monday. Mr Touccy said he slmuld submit this motion 4o the House with another that the report he printed. Mr Robertson, of Va. rose to a point of order, and said he was not now prepared to vole for | the printing. He wished to know the conclusion j .of tho leport, If what he said was true the I .committee had gone beyond their parliamentary j powers. Mr Robertson was interrupted by a motion to adjourn—lost, 80 to 06. Mr To cey then moved to suspend the rules of the Mouse, which motion was carried, viva 1 voce, without much opposition —not more than eight to ten members voting in the negative. The rules being suspended, Mr Toucey moved 1 the printing ol the report. 1 Mr Grenncll, of Mass, from the minority of the I same committee, then presented a counter re- I port, presented by himself and Mr Kaiiden of Indiana. He asked that this report be printed. I Mr ELLMOUE, ofS C., from the same com in it tec, presented a third repart, with the remark 1 that he had come to ;i conclusion different from [ the major/'. the minority.

V [From the N. V. Herald A/iril 22.] Important from llugland— Six Days La ter—Great Reaction ia the Bullion Mar kets. Early this morning wo received our loiters and impels from Liveipool by lire packet ship George Washington, Captain Ilolilrege, to whom we beg to express our warm acknowledgments for his ci vility in forwarding them to us, and also forconu mercial intelligence, and the latest Liverpool pa per. The Geo. Washington left that port on tho 2Eth ult., and brings Liverpool dales of that day, and the London Sunday papers of the 25th. Wo have the satisfaction of despatching the intelligence by this arrival to all parts o! the coun try by the express mail of this afternoon. Ihe commercial news is interesting! it appears ■ that cotton has fallen a trifle in Liverpool. The specie continues to arrive in groat abun dance. About $ 1,000,000 at least, by this pack ct, as follows : _ 18 boxes specie, Prime, Ward and King; 2 do Grinned, Minium and Co.; 1 do llcckscher.

The reaction in England towards the United States is r renter than ever known. It is believed that the trade, government mid institutions ot England depend on the commerce with the United Stales. Our extracts on these points are highly interesting, ’Pm nA no i.o-Aji bhi ca \ llui sns.—Nol with standing the stagnation of almost every kind of business which has existed in the United Suites, the debts ot the suspended American linns in London have been working oil’ well; mid wo be lieve we may say that one ol these e-tal lishmonls, whose affairs our contemporary regarded as hope loss and forlorn, has reduced its liabilities to about £l5O, to nothing, in fact, as compared with its positional the period the firm was compelled to yield to the pressure of (lie times. The Ameri. cans have strained every nerve Ip -pay oil' their debts. I hey have retrained horn entering into new engagements, and sacrificed every thing to the one grand point, that of mainlaing their ere dit. In discussing these matters it should never he forgotten how completely the two countries are now identified in interest; fend it is as much for the benefit of English trade that assistance should he rendered to the merchants of New York, as to the merchants ot London, Liverpool, or Leeds. It is a saying in Lancashire that New York is Liverpool, and Liverpool is New York. i he Bank of England and the Expouta tion of Gold. —The Directors of the Bank of England, it appears, have determined to export gold to the United Sta'es; whether as an opera tion for profit, or one of policy, we will not slop to enquire, hut rather lake a cursory view of some of the effects of the measure, As one of policy if is, perhaps, amongst the wisest ever adopted by the Dilectors of that hank. That it of mercantile character is very evident.— Wc should not complain of the Direclers for being dealers in coin; the pursuit is legitimate. Hitherto it has not always been practised as ex tensively ns circumstances required, when the transactions resulted in loss so as to touch upon their rest, One of the consequences of this measure, on the part of the bank, is very obvious. 1 heir wholesale dealing must afford advantages with which the merchant will rot be aide to com - pete. Their gold may as well he in a course of transmission to the Stales, so far as it will he affected by any accumulation of interest, as for it to remain locked up in their vaults. The tri fling expense of freight and insurance will at lach to their operations; whereas, the merchant exporting becomes subject to interest from the day of his purchase. The Bank ol England lias commenced export, ing, and will, no doubt, continue. It is said, half a million of gold has been shipped by the bank to the Slates within tho last three weeks.— We are induced to believe, that ten times this amount will he sent if thought desirable, and even more can he despatched under the Imme diate direction of the hank; putting down, so effectually as it can, the transactions of mer chants. '1 ho latter, by toazing repetitions, and for large quantities of gold for shipment, would unquestionable, have executed such apprehen sions, on the part of the bank, as to have involv ed the commercial world, at least, in a partial panic; but of this there is now no danger. Mer chants, we think, will not venturi ! w A gold operations under the disadv ■ !.n .ju. ro ly of a loss of interest, but the probability of the course of the exchange being turned in the Slates, through the interference of tho Bank, and thus ynhjcct them to increased loss. Our opinion of the unsourulncss of the bank of ! England as a great hanking institution remains unchanged. Tho hank will never he more sound, as a grand monetary machine, until the adoption ol a system in accordance with the views enter tained in the pamphlet of Mr John Hill or that ot Mr Jones Loyd. The charter of the bank expires, we think, in 1844; so that we have to progress, it is to he feared, to that time, with all the uncertainty to which the action of tho hank shall make every man’s property liable—up, as it were, to day, and down to morrow—as we have seen of late, ruining some and elevating others. The contemplation of such power, vested in j twenty four heads in the hank parlor, is fright- ! ful, seeing, as wo have, the revolutions in pro perly which MvcTison (-fleeted hitherto by the maladministration of such a body of people; re volutions more extensive in their effects on pro perty than a hundred icforms of Pailiamcnl.— Tho House of Commons has not a thousandth part of tho power of the property of individuals to that which rests in the administration of twenty four directors of the hank of England ! The contingencies to wb : .:.' u any ;« nC Walofi the charier of the btltilx oi England, are, in fact, toe best guarantee now for tho public, that the decisions of the directors will be of a protective j nature tor the commercial and manufacturing interests of the kingdom, even at a considerable sacrifice, were any necessary, in order to keep on good terras with the community; the owner of property, may, therefore, indulge hope, that its value will he in the ratio tho bank conciliates tho public in order to achieve the renewal of their charter. Expoutation or Gold to the United States. —We arc truly glad to find that the Bank of England has, at length, determined to make a shipment of gold to the U. States. This will not only be the means of giving life and an imation in the United States, hut will lead to ex tensive orders Ur our various manufactures. It j -Is evidently the harbinger of more cheerful limes. !

The result.has turned out to be of a more favor , able character than many anticipated. It appears that the Governor was enabled to propose a half yearly dividend of 4 per cent upon s ' their capital of £ 14,500,000, by taking £40,000 fiom their rest or surplus capital, which sum is . equal to a deficiency of about j per cent on their , actual capital, a slight defection, considering the lisks the corporation have run, and the late dim , million in their business.—This sum ofXII.OOO . | is i't addition to £.’20.000 taken from their rest to . j make \ p tin-, lasi half year's dividend. The rest, I ; after providing for the present dividorf’, stands at i .£2.810,305. It appears that the hank will loose i 1 nothing by the Amcriuan suspended firms, there r | fora the proprietors ought to he thankful that ad j ventitinus circumstances have enabled the maim- I | gers ot their allairs to conquer so easily dillicul r i ties of which they alone were the origin. Duo of the great ellecls ot the gigantic com . ! tnetcial break up in the United States, in the 1' | opting ol 1837, has been to deaden, almost to j I atiihilalion, the commerce of our British Indian , I empire, and its numerous and valuable depen . dencies; and the exlrme depression in the value ot silks, sugars, cottons, and drugs which has . prevailed in the markets of ear Indian settle t incuts, has, of course, induced many resident s merchants to ma'ke investments, which, at the , persenl market value, afford ample profits on . their arrival here, whilst it completely bars the r speculative holders of lapt year’s arrivals from , making sales hut at a heavy sacrifice. It is, } therforc, anticipated, in consequence oflhe heavy bosh importations which have lately taken place, r that our markets for colonnt produce will bo se -3 riously affected. i Lite commercial advices from the.

Thus impressed, he went early into battle and goon won the renown and the title of 9 Bkavk.

A fine incident is connected with the bislo ry of litis Indian. The Pawnee Loups had J long practised the savage rite known to no other of the American tribes, of sacrificing ‘ human victims to the Great Star, or the plan- f ct Venus. This dreadful ceremony, annually [ preceded the preparations for planting corn, , and was supposed tv bo iiQccs-sry to soQtiro a r Iruiiiui season. To prevent a failure of the crop and a consequent famine, some individ ual was expected to offer nj> a prisoner of ei, / thersox, who had been captured in war, and some one was always found who coveted the honor ot dedicating the spoil ol Ins prowess s lo the national benefit. The intended victim, carefully kept in ignorance, of the fate that impended, was dressed in gay apparel, with the choicest food and treated wiili every ten- ( derness, with the view of producing obesity, A and preparing an offering the more acceptable 'I to the deities to bo propitiated. When hy .1 the snee .ssful employment of those means the f> unhappy victim was sufficiently fatted, and a J day was appointed for the sacrifice, the d whole nstion assembled to witness tl c sob ’1 einn scene. 1! Some time before Pctalesharro was depu- h led to visit Washington, it chanced that an J llean maid who had been taken prisoner, was doomed by her captor to be offered up to the Great Star, and was prepared with tho usual secrecy and care for the grand occasion.— " The grief and alarm incident W a state of cap. * tivd.y, had been allmed by deceptive kindness, j. and the grateful prisoner became happy m the society of strangers, who bestowed upon y her a degree of adulation to which She had « probably not been accustomed. Exempt from j, labor and exalted into unwonted ease of life, [ she soon acquired that security of mind and y comeliness ol person which rendered her \ worthy of being offered lo the Great Star as a full equivalent for an abundant harvest The reader will now fancy himself in view .1 of tho great gathering of the Pawnees, and .b that he is in sight of the multitude assembled (J in honor of the sacrifice.
