Newspaper Page Text[From tin N. Y. Extend We r.xtiucl from ihc -Sunday Morning News an ailicle, which, together with llio death refer* red to, created a most extraordinary sensation'in the city yesterday. Mi«'< Missouri Dead. Particulart rs tier Death, and lhr 'Coroner' » Inqueit. It is Well known to fho plihlic, that lliia amia- I Wo and accomplished young lady, whoso recent | successful debut at the National created an ex- , traordinary sensation among the theatre going people, has, for anmo days past, liecn residing at the house of Mr. Thomas S. Hamblin, by thn advice, and under the direction of her chosen and legally appointed guardian, John M. Bloodgood, Esq. The circumstances which led to the adoption of this young. lieautiful, and talented creature by Mr. Bloodgood, are as extraordinary as they are painful. Hho, poor girl—innocent and virtuous an she has always been—wav, unfortunately, the offspring of a vile and polluted woman. A sister of the lieautiful Josephine Clifton, whose fame as an actress is universal, she, when yet a child, tmbided a strong passion for the stage; and well fitted by education and genius for asau ming the histronic profession, she became the pu pil of Mr. Hamblin, undri whoso tuition her aia ter Ixjcamo so proficient and successful an artist. Her studies being finished, she, though but lit tle over sixteen years of age, made a first and most successful appearance on (hostage as Alice, in the now drama of Ernest Maltrsyers, written by Louisa Medina, now the wife of Mr. Ham blin. The popularity and prospect of gain, which her extraordinary auccess occasioned, mo ved the mercenary disposition of her debased re latives, and at once excited a desire to roh Hr. Hamblin of llio benefits which he legitimately ■expected to derive from the early career of his fortunate and fascinating pupil. Unable, either by throats 01 persuasions, lo in duce the "young candidate’’ to act dishonorably 'with her tutor, and deprive him as the advantages which, agreeably to a treaty made with her, her ’mother, m conjunction with her paramours and friends, sought every opportunity to htrrase and annoy the poor girl, and at length rendered her ■toy at home intolerable, and the selection of another abode imperatively necessary. At first, she made choice of a respectable boar ding house in Houston street; hut here she was so haunted by her cruel and inhuman persecu - tors, (hat her then chosen guardian, Mr. Blood good, consigned her to the carool Mr. Hamblin und his lady, where, until her dissolution yester day, she remained, having every attention that could possibly oonduco to her comfort and render her happy under the circumstances which sur rounded her. But, unfortunately, the meddlers and busy-ho ‘dies in her mother’s family, obtained the vilo get, vices of some vagabond scribblers to harass her mind, and disseminate, among kindred spirit!, stories well calculated to excite n mind naturally eensitivo, and feelings unusually keen. I’li-j,. filthy outpourings of a still more filthy tind vil lainous imagination, found their way m - loor yi IB souri—until she finally became i’mj wictiVi, of the base fabrications, and JMt.Onlgj, « ] lu li pj 1 •o clock, expired almnM a maniac. Subjoined, i- ft detail of the proceedings before the coronet s inquest, which was convened at the urgent solicitation of Mr. Hamblin, against whom a great excitement existed, in consequence ol the fabulous reports which had been circulated us to the cause ol the unhappy girl’s death. The pro ceedings in the investigation will show that every aspersion which has been uttered against either Mr. Illoedgood or Alt. Hamblin, in connection with this unfortunate business is utterly without : foundation. Shortly alter the dissolution ol poor Louisiana was made known, her brother, Nelson H. Miller, I to whoso improper interference in her affairs her premature dissolution is without doubt mainly attributable, entered Hamblin's house, und in the presence ol several gentlemen who were there, threatened that he should die within twenty four hours, 110 left the house, and shortly alter re- I t turned with a loaded pistol, which was wrested I from him by the officers in attendance, and ho ‘ "was kept in custody until the termination of the t inquest, when he was conducted lo prison, where I he now remains, s In compliance with the request of Mr. Ham- c Min. tho coroner, Ira 11. Wheeler, Esq., summon- h ed a jury, and made u must full, thorough, and | searching investigation of the causes of the death I, «f this young lady. t The (allowing facts came out in evidence:— t *Mis» Missouri’s astonishing success alarmed her , sister, Josephine Chiton, and she wrote to re. | quest that Miss M. might be taken from the stage | for a short lime, orjfor ever. The) wretched old , mother determined to do this; Miss Missouri re monstrated, and the mother (as sworn lo in the evidence) said she would make Miss Missouri 1 undergo “the tortures of the dimmed,” if she re fused to comply. I From this tunc, according to Miss Missouri's i statements before death to witiiiessoa under a ' solemn oatU, the treatment of llio depraved . und desperate old woman toward her was ot a •nest violent character. She threatened lo 'Tallin her up in u convent or to send her some •where into seclusion. Slin locked up all her clothes —forbade her real friends to see her; placed nothing but negroes from Iter own bro thel around her; and, in short virtually sub jected her to a temporary conlinouianl m house No. 31 Harrison st. Miss Missouri’s servant, thou by her own di rection went lo one of the editors of tho city, and ‘fold her story, with a view to have her case brought before the public. That gentleman pro perly and promptly laid tho matter before the re corder, Robert. L. Morris, Esq. He immediate ly issued a writ of habeas corpus, and sent u letter lo justice liloodgood, directing him to take the necessary steps to bring Miss Missouri before him next morning. Justice liloodgood promptly complied with ’this, and saw Alias Missouti that Might. Next morning the young lady went voluntarily before the Recorder, at his ollice in the City Hall, and begged (hat his honor would choose a legal guar dian for her. Mr. Charles O’Conner was requested to act as her legal adviser, which ho did. Mr. Bloodgood was sent for at her request, he came, and after much solicitations, be consented lo become bar guardian. The letters of guardianship Were le gally drawn out, and signed before the surrogate. Mr. Bloodgood then placed her at the lai‘s« and respectable boarding house of Mr. Warner, corner of Croaby and Houston streets. Hithef her mother and a haft-negro, and two or three nth* •er wretches, pursued the loVely but unfortunate young lady, and threatened violence. They said she should die by their hands rather thin act again. Mr. Warner, alarmed for tho quiet of his heuse told Miss Missouri when she came home that she must leave the house, or that she conld nut re main there. Driven to despair Miss Missouri, who was very nervous and seiuuttive, rushed out of the hoaae and soon reached Mr. Hamblin’s res idence, ho having been her tutor, and Mrs Ham blin having been extremely kind to her. She was soon after taken very HI, and contin ued so ill that she could not he removed with safe ty. Her family physician, Dr. Fennell, was sent for, together with Dr. Roane, and Dr. W. Frances Under their care she soon beiame convalescent, bat begged that her mother might be kept away from her. The wretched woman, however, and her reck less associates, including the half nagro, pursued her with a virulence that was truly appalling.— They eoucocted a virulent and venomous article 1 xespociing the poor petacculed girl, and putifish- i I ed in a folio sheet called the “I’olyanlhoa.” This articli' wav’kept from her tight lor a long lime ; at last vhe mw it, and before the had read it half through went into violent hytlcrics! and foil on the Door lifeles* !! She never recovered from that hour. Accord ing to the testimony of the witnesses the sunk from that lime, and continued declining till she { died! The doctors all agreed that she died solely from 1 inflamution of the brain, produced by great men tal excitement. The jury, during the examination couid scarce ly restrain their indignation at the brutal conduct of Mrs. Miller and her myrmidons; and after de liberating a few minutes gave as their unanimous verdict the following, vtr.: “That the deceased, Miss Missouri,'came to her death by inflamation of the brain caused by great mental excitement, induced jointly by the violent conduct of her mother and the publication of an abuiivr article in the /'ohjanlbo* /” Thus has God’s judgement visited the wretch ed woman for her iniquitous course of life for ma ny years and prevented her from prostituting her own child by taking the sweet girl to a belter and brighter world. * In speaking of the superstition, that Friday i« an unlucky day, the Baltimore American nays; “Every one knows that, according to recei ved notions, to commence nn undertaking on that day, is to insure a disastrous result. An old fashioned sailor would stare at one who would he so rash as to think of going to sea on what has been called hangman's "lay, and the luckless seamstress who by chance might cut out work and not finish it before sundown, would go to bed with the full assurance that same mishap would attend the article thus be gun. Now, strange as it may appear, this unlucky day has served to usher in some of the most important events ot modern times. It was on Friday, as ascertained by the calen dar, that Columbus sot sail on his successful voyage for the discovery of the American Continent, and on a Friday that he first made the land. It was on a Friday that the Pil grim Fathers of New England landed on the rock of Plymouth, and it was on Friday that Washington, Madison and the younger Ad ams were born. Whether the fact of being connected with the history of flic New World has any thing to do witli depriving the six* day of the week of its unlucky charnel** r or not, we will not pretend to say, but ol|r j formation be correct, the charm ' dC;imBlo hav(J been broken, as the abovo mcn . lioncd look place on l , ' I 'ut ,ifty ” PuoFnssoa I v /(l80N —vVo have seldom readla be _ or ri [ o |-y than the following as to : of it wo do not profbss to know any ■''.'.g:—Person was once travelling in a stage Coach, when a young Oxonian, (resh from college, was amusing the ladies with a variety of talk, and amongst oilier tilings with a quo tation, as lie said, from Sophocles. A Creek quotation, and in a coach too, roused our slumbering Professor from a kind of dog sleep, in a snug corner of the vehicle. Shaking Ins cars and rubbing his eyes. “I think young gentleman.” said ho “you favored ns just now with a quotation from Sophocles: I do not happen to recollect it there.” “Oh, Sir, re plied our tyro, “the quotation is word for word as 1 have repeated it, and in Sophocles too; hut I suspect Sir, that it is some lime since you were at, college. The Professor, apply ing his hand to his greatcoat, and taking out a small pocket edition of Sophocles, quietly asked him “if ho would be kind enough to show him the passage in question, in that lit tle book.” Aller rummaging the leaves for some time ho replied. “Upon<|p>coiid though, ‘I now recollect that the passage is m Euri pides. “Then, perhaps, sir, said the Profes sor, pulling his hand again into hi-s pocket nod handing him a .similar edition of Euripides, “you will ho so good as to find it for me in that little book.” The young Oxonian re turned again to his task, hut with no better . success. The tillering of the ladies inform- 1 ed him that ho had got into a hobble. At ‘ hist, “Bless me, sir,” said he, “how dull I am! I now recollect—yes, yes, 1 perfectly rernem- ! her—that the passage is in Aeschylus. The inexorable Professor returned again to his in exhaustible pocket, and was in llioact of han dling him Aeschylus, when our astonished freshman vociferated, “Stop the coach —hal- loa, coachman, let me out, I say, instantly— let mo out! There’s a fellow here has got the whole Bodleian library in his pocket!”—Lon don Courier. A most deliberate am! shocking murder was perpetrated at Springfield Illinois, on the 12th nut. by a I’ohindet by the name ofGuykosky.— The circumstances are briefly these : About 0 o’clock on the evening of the 13lh in a grocery of Mr. Brown, sumo dor.an or more persons being piesont, the murderer and Nelson iltnlliwero •landing at the counter apparently drinking to» getlicr in friendship. Suddenly the former drew a pistol, cocked il, and presented it at Kiall, shot him through the right breast, ibo ball passing downwards in the direction of tho homt. The unfortunate man reeled round, placing bin band on bis wound, fixed bis eye on tho murderer, fell and almost instantly expired. Guykosky was immediately arrested, and having underwent a legal examination, was committed, and is now in custody, awaiting his trial. Tho murderer was one of the Exiled Poles who were provided for by our Government some years since in Illinois. Beautiful Extract. —The future was before me, but how dark and cheerless I The deep vistn of years lay there, but mortality prevented me from taking a step towards its portal. The wheel offortune was going round and it 1 but looked at the glittering plaything that encircled the magic ring, 1 grew dizzy at the uncertainty. Health, life, and fortune, passed gaily before me, but then came nick ness, disappointment, death. Tho crowning joys of life sparkled in the goblet, but a rude band dashed the untasted draught from the lip, and the wretch is tortured with thirst. Gay flambeaux ache the sight with the joyous bril liancy of light, but a rude gust sweeps along the hall, the lights are extinguished, and the distant echo of Hie cautious trend deepens the darkness of the place. Young pleasure dances in tho palace of loveliness, roseate Health crowns her in the maze, yet the pestilence ecow ja upon the scene, and tho image of Beau ty sinks 111(0 ( h u earth with the plague spot upon her ci',ock. Discoveries JN Texas. — A correspon dent of the Observer plates that an intelligent traveller has discovered, near Bio Colorado river, fifteen miles from Bftv fr °P, a native tree which produces gum clastic oT caoutchouc.— Tho same writer states that in thO vicinity of the Mustang prairie, a salt spring, or saline, has been discovered of such excellence' and abundance of water that it is thought sufficient to supply the whole republic. Mineral coa). in great abundance, is also found not very far Irom the same prairie; and iron ore, the most valuable of all minerals, is abundant near the river Trinity. If, m addition to this, we could say that there is an abundance of forest wood m all parte of Texas, it would be the most iuv - | ponawt discovery iu the whole catalogue. i “Is he rich I" —Many a bi»h is heaved, many a heart is broken, many a life is rend ered miaerhhia by the terrible infatuation which parents often manifest in choosing a life com panion for their daughters. How is it possi ble for happiness to result from the union of two principles eo diametrica'ly opposed to eacli other in every point as virtue is to vice ! And yet how often is wealth considered abet ter recommendation to a young man than vir tue. How often is the first question which is asked respecting the suitor of a daughter, this; Is he rich? —ls he rick? Yes, he abounds in wealth; but docs that afford any evidence that he will make a kind and affectionate husband? Is he rich ? Yes ! “his clothing is purple and fine linen, and he fares Miimptoously every day" but can you infer from tins he is virtuous? Is he rich ? Yes, he has thousands floating on every ocean ; but do not riches sometimes “take to themselves wings and fly away ?” and • will you consent that your daughter shall mar ry a man that has nothing to recommend him but his wealth ?’’ Ah,beware, the gilden bait I sometimes covers a barbed hook. Ask not then, is he rich but is he virtuous ? Ask not if ho has wealth but if he has honor ; and do not sacrifice your daughter’s peace for money. CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL. Tuesday Morning, June 26.

[From the Richmond Whig, June 2.] Commercial Convention. —This body brought its labors to a close on Saturday evening. Wc give n summary of its procee dings. Little good, we fear, has been accoin i plished, save the good feeling which it has gc ! nerated, and which, diffused throughout the 1 Commonwealth, will, wo hope, ultimately ! yield a rich harvest of good fluffs. The Convention recommended an increase of the banking capital, and the vigorous pro secution ot the various important lines of in ternal improvement now in progress, as cssen ! tial to the attainment of the great end in view. They also recommend another State Conven tion to assemble in Norfolk in November next, and the appointment of Delegates to the Augusta Convention. The Convention dissolved in the finest pos ! sible good humor, about 3 o’clock, Saturday, | and adjourned to ’‘Bacon’s Spring,” to partake of a dinner provided by the Richmond Dele gation. About a hundred genilemon sat down to a table laden with the choicest meats and viands of the season—the wines were rich and delicious and flowed in vast profusion. \ splendid band of music was in attendance— many fine patriotic toasts were d'uck and the greatest hilarity prevailed. Wo never saw a happier company, norepc-r.t * more delightful i evening. Hut it will c;er bo thus when a hun j dred eons of the Old Dominion meet together around the feat'.ve board, and think of our past ■ renown, and indulge hopes of the future. ' I >n| rom the Richmond Compiler. I ri.o Convention resolved that another Con- I','ention should beheld in Norfolk on the se cond Wednesday in November next; and re commended to the people ot the Stale, the • propriety ot appointing delegates to the Sou them Convention, at Augusta, in October next. The most determined spirit was evinced by the members, and wo are sure that the cause of Southern Commerce will experience the most beneficial effects from this Convention of the business and mercantile men of Virgin* ia. These effects will be continued, and the cause ot Southern Commerce further advan ced by the adjourned convention in Norfolk. BY EXPRESS MAIL.. Correipondence of the N. V. Commercial Advertiser. From the Huffalonian Extra, 1 Sunday, Juno 17, SP. M. S BURNING Ol’ THE WASHINGTON. Wc have received the following account, Irom one of the passengers, the Rev. Mr. Judd, of Garretsville, U., tile accuracy of which may bo relied upon. The signers of the subjoined card, were those wlio came in, in tho North America, whose gallant captain is entitled to much praise, for his promptness in returning to tho burning steamer, when only three miles from port. (Several of the circumstances Were peculi arly unfortunate. It is thought the boat might have been run on shore, had the engine not been stopped. This was done to pick up the boat, which, by some accident swamped in launching. The engine could not be started, and by this tunc the steering ropes had been burnt off'. Tho Washington left Cleveland, on her down passage from Detroit, on June 14tli, at 8 A.M. Slie proceeded on her way safely until Saturday, 3 o’clock, A. M., when she hud arrived in the vicinity at Silver Creek, about 33 miles from Buffalo. The boat was now discovered to be on fire, which proceeded from beneath tho boilers. Tho passengers were alarmed, and aroused from their slumbers. Such a scene of cont u sion and distress ensued as those only of my readers can imagine who have been in similar circumstances. Despair did not, however, completely pos sess the mass until it became evident that the progress of the flames could not be arrested. From that moment the scene beggars all de scription. Suffice it to say, that numbers pre cipitated themselves from the burning mass into the water; some ot them with a shriek of despair, and others silently sunk beneath the waves; others, momentarily more fortunate, swam a short distance and drowned, others still, on pieces of boards and wood, arrived on the beach—yet some even of these sank into a watery grave. Tho small boat had by this time put off, loaded with about 25 souls, for the siiore. These arrived safe, picking up one or two by the way. Tho writer of this article was one of tho number. Other small boats came to our assis ance, which, together with the Wash ington’s boat, saved perhaps a majority of the persons on board. It is supposed that forty perished. It is impossible to compute tho precise number. Many remained oh the boat until it was wrap ped m one sheet of flame, Os these there is reason to believe that numbers perished in the conflagration; while others, half burned, pre cipitated themselves into the watery element; thus suffering tho double agony of death, by tiro and water. The utmost exertion was used to run her on shore, until it became necessary to stop the engine in order to let down the small boat, which having been done, the fire had progres sed so far as to render it impossible again to start the machinery. I will give a few particulars of the losses of the passengers. Mr. Shudds is the onfy survivor of his family, consisting of seven. A lady passenger lost three children, a sister and a mother. Mr. Michael Parker lost his wife and parents, sister and her child. It is proper to say, that while the writer alone is responsible for the foregoing statements, all the survivors to whom the paper has been submitted concur in the parts set forth. R. J- JUDD, of Garretsville, O. Many weie tho heart rending scenes that occur red in this terrible catastrophe. An English fa mily, consisting of a man, his wife and two chili dren, came on board the boat at Toledo. While the tiro was raging, '.he man worked by the side of our informant till they coukl stay on board no longer. Then, he and his wife, threw their chil dren overboard and jumped in after them. The father and two children were drowned—the mo ther was saved. Several passengers went into convulsions with terror, on the deck, at the outset, and perished in the flames. A newly married couple, supposed to have em barked at Erie, jumped overboard in each other's arms and sunk together. Wc.lhc undersigned, passengers on board the steamboat Washington on the night of the 16th inst. take pleasure in slating to (he public, that no negligence can with any justice be attached to N. W. Brown, captain of the Washington. He acted with great humanity, and did all that cir cumstances would allow in rescuing the passen gers from the (lames and getting them on shore. ; Joseph Fisk, Albany. I S. O.

Nobody will embark in enterprises of any sort . till the administration policy be changed. De feat has no influence on Martin Van Burcn.— , That he will not change is evident to the most , ordinary observer. What then? We must en [ dure the ills of a mal administration of the Go. vernment till 1841. The agitation of thccurrcn -1 cy question is still looked to as the means of re electing the present incumbent, and we are assu red that it will be continued with redoubled vio lence. We are blamed by some for mixing up politics with our money notices, but how can wo avoid it. The Government lives by its agitation of the monetary elements, and if our rulers will mingle politics with the vital question of currency, is it not encumbent On us to show where rests the evil under which the country is now laboring? Every attempt to avoid the discussion of money politics is but leading the public mind astiay from the true sources of our difficulties. Wo must return to the bank credit policy of 1796 and 181 G, before we can get smoothly on in the work of in dustry and national enterprise, before the Union can enjoy the benefits of a uniform currency.— Mr. Van Buren will not return to this beaten track. Ho is endeavoring to force the nation along another road, a road that inevitably loads to the destruction of democracy and the erection of an elective monarchy on the ruins of our insti tutions. Tho people’s representatives, to save the country from such an issue, must crush the Sub Treasury Scheme. If they do not, the peo> pie themselves must rise in their might, return a new Congress and repeal tho measure which is more than probable is a law, while we are writing. If they return a new Congress ready to do their will and the President interposes his veto, the Congress of 1841 will settle tho question whether we are to continue a republic or not. Tho Sub Treasury Scheme is the key to an elective mo narchy, and the people should know this fact. Tho intention of our rulers is to overturn our in stitutions, and their infernal machine” is fully adequate to tho task. But, if the bill of abominations passes, will the people rise in their strength and demand its re peal? We think they will, for we have, studied the American character to no purpose. Arc tho people of those States ready to sacrifice their pro perly at specie prices to pay their debts contrac. ted under tho credit system?—ls the farmer pre pared to sell his bushel of wheat at 30 cents, and to pay a direct tax for the support of the Govern ment of ten cents out of this? Is ho going to submit to an additional tax of five cents more on this pittance, to support the State Government? Will the enterprising, industrious and moral elec tor without money see himself unable to procure credit lor the work of his hands, because he can not furnish to the avaricious capitalist fast securi ty for the loan of some two or three hundred dollars? Are our merchants craven enough to sec their earnings swept from their hands by the establishment of a specie and highly appreciated currency, while that of Groat Britain is made up of credit paper suitable to tho spirit of the age? Is there an American with a drop of blood in his veins willing to sec the President of the Uni ted States hold the key of the National Treasury in one hand, while he brandishes the sword in tho other?—The answers to these questions can bo nothing short of—NO, NO, NO! Then let the Sub Treasury bill pass. Marlin Van Buren will have such a storm around his head as repub lican servant never had before. Crusar like, he will quail, when the crown is offered to him by his vassals. The voice of tho people will be the daggers of a Brutus and Cassius to his bare and anti republican heart. Let us lake all things easy then. The country cannot endure the reign of misrule much longer. The fate of Mr. Van Ba ron is sealed. Quem dens, &c. We hear that the Railroad Bank of Vicksburg is issuing post notes at nine months, payable at the Girard Bank in Philadelphia, in redemption of its old post notes. If this should become a genral thing with the Mississippi banks,exchange on that State must appreciate. Mississippi paper was quoted today at 15 to 16 per cent. Some step is necessary with Mississippi to enhance its scoutitics: abroad. Some eighteen months ago, its principal stocks commanded a premium of six per cent in London. Now it is even below par, and the reason is to be found in tho extract dmary depreciation of its bank paper and in the ruinous rale of exchange with New York. On the other had, something must bo done hy those banks to save them from the operation of the poli. cy of Government, should it be carried out. That , a large quantity of their paper has already been i bought up in’thc northern cities is evident from ' the appreciation of its price*, if we were not privy lh £ f ?® t ’ Governm,:n t give up its policy, Mr. Biddle will resume instantly, and we should not find Mississippi a whit behind her sister Southern States, even though the balance of foreign debt against her is some seven millions of dollars. Echango on London yesterday was heavy at 9+ to 91; but we should nat be surprised to sec it go up to 112 in time for the steamers. It j g not p n the power of the banks here to keep it down if the Sub Treasury bill pass before the Great Western and Sirius start. Cotton Trade r~~ The season is drawing fast to a close. A1 ready have the large cotton boats on the Western and Southern wateis gone into ordinary and exporta tion to market is confined to flats and smaller ves 1 sets. At New Orleans and Mobile the supply . must ba very light till the rivers go up in the au ! tumn. The rise in the North Alabama and Ten- i ncssee waters has let out a great portion of the < crop of that region. It is calculated that the re- 1 mams cannot exceed 20,000 bales, and that amount is so scattered over the country in such j small parcels, (hat it will probably bo consumed L at home The reskluo of the crop in South Ala- (r ljunn and Mississippi is comparatively light. In the Charleston ami Savannah markets tho supply depends a gooJ deal on the state of those of Now Orleans and Mobile. A decicasing stock in tho latter places will bo sure to produce one in the former towns. The stock had decreased at New Orleans up to the evening of the 7th of June to 00,50-1 bales against 49,100 last year, and 77,124 the season before. The condition of this marl is not, therefore, unpromising. But the great diffi culty lies in the total breaking up of the buyers, whose relations and credit had been tho work of years to establish. Nothing can prevent a fall of prices even now, short of a constant demand for the staple arising from the liberal policy of tha U. S. Bank. However, the sources of supply being partially cut off, as we have shewn abovo and the lightness of the stocks being taken into consideration, it is not probable that rates will remain for any length of lime at a depressed fig ure, even if Mr. Biddle should stop discounting at the south. But great losses may be experienced if he does withdraw from tho market at this junc ture. We have been creditably informed that the news of his withdrawal, as stated in the New Or» leans Transcript, is not true. The probability is, therefore, in the upward tendency of tho Liver pool market on the Ist of June, that the balance of the crop will be taken at fair and remunera ting rates to the planter. In relation to the condition of the stocks, re* ccipts, &c., of the late crop, Levy’s juries Cur rent informs us that the increase of receipts in the United States porta this season over those of last is 398,144 bags, of exports 361838 do., and of stocks on hand, 72,003 bales. This increase was to be expected from the impulse which had been given to the cotton raising. The total re ceipts at all the marts of the Union up to June 7th, are 1,652,124 bags against 1.253 900 last season. The exports are 1,522,207 bales against 1,160,160,169 same time last year. The exports, it will be seen, are thus nearly equal to the receipts. By the Ist of August the stock of cotton will be very short in this country. This is known abroad, and it is known too that Mr. Biddle can control the market if he so pleases. This being the case rales must advance. On the other hand a fresh activity in tho manufacturing districts of Eng land, will he sure to throw up prices, though we cannot hope for a continuance of such orders as | those which went out by tho steam ships, while government is so hostile to banks . It lias been repeatedly asked, where has Eng land found a market for 928,813 hales of cotton, sent to her from this country since the Ist ofOc-’ tober, 1837 1 The crisis broke up our import trade. How has England consumed so much l raw material at such high prices? The solution of these questions is to be found in the groat ex- * portation of cotton twist from Groat Britain to ' the continent. The corn law policy of England has driven Switzerland, Belgium, Russia and Germany to improve their manufactures. Tho British masters exported of cotton twist— In 1831 58,846,308 pounds 1834 79,713,330 1837 105,106,529 Here we sec where our cottons have gone. Our exports to G. Britain this season, allowing 400 pounds to the hale, are 391,525,200 pounds. It will very nearly require the half of this to pro duce the weight of twist exported in 1837. Those facts must have been well known to Mr. Biddle when he argreed to loan the southern buyers mo ney to purchase cotton. Much has been said against Mr. Biddle’s gd ing into the cotton trade, even indirectly. Ho has saved to the southern planter on the exports of this season not less than #21,491,512, taking the amount of exports given above. In May and Juno 1837, wo saw fair to good fair cotton soil in New Orleans, at 5 a cents per pound. Mr. Biddle entered tho market in July, and prices went up to 104 to 13 cents. Had ho not med dled with tho subject, prices could never have ri sen, for all the great buyers had been broken up. The planters would fallen a prey to little specula tors. MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
