Later from Europe. By the arrival of the packet ship Burgundy, at New York, from Havre, news six days later from France, and a little later from England have been received. The following items wc extract from the New York Herald slip of the 20th. There has been a large Radical meeting in Shef field, England. The day was rainy, and yet 20,000 persons assembled. Ehenezer Elliot, the author of “ Corn Law Rhymes” took the chair. The proceedings commenced by singing a “Corn Law Hymn”—the resolutions were in favor of universal suffrage, vote by ballot, annual parlia ments, &e. The ceremonies concluded with a large tea party. Two steam ships of war have been sent out by France to Mexico, the Meteor and Spectator, com manded by Baubin and Barbolin; they sailed from Cadiz on the 28th of September. A great movement is making in Havre to get new docks erected for steam ships. The municipal council have decided against their erection. This decision has thrown the mercantile interests of Havre and Paris into a high state of commotion. The French Chambers will be convoked about the end of September. The pope has addressed the Holy College of the propaganda in reference to the establishment of a bishop of Algiers. In this address he calls Louis Philippe “ his dear son in Christ Jesus!” Oh! The “ London Times” contradicts the report of a war between Persia and England. ,vln.

The discovery of an invention in thus noticed in the New York Journal of Commerce, which, if suc cessful, must prove highly important: Another desideratum attatned. —A gen tleman in New Jersey thinks he has accomplished the end so lons and so laboriously sought for, of bringing flax into a condition to be spun like cotton. We have seen samples ol the flax in its nine or ten different stages until it is reduced to a short staple material very much resembling cotton. V\ e have also seen thread, spun from flax so prepared, on common cotton machinery, and it appeared well. The inventor thinks he can produce linens as cheap as cottons. The whole process, begining with the flax in stalk, is performed without water rotting, and occupies but a day or two. It there is no mis take about the matter, and wo do not perceive any, the invention approximates towards Whitney’s cotton gin, in importance. Mexico. By all accounts, President Bustamante has busi ness enough on hand at present; too much, in all probability for a man of slender abilities. Vi hat, between the French and the Federalists and the Tcxians, it will be almost a miracle should the pre sent form of government, maintain itself much lon ger in Mexico. It will not at all surprise us to hear of a military chief taking advantage of the concentration of so many troops in or near Vera Cruz, to place himself at the head of officers in that country, as has been done before by Iturhidc and Simla Anna. If the battalions of Texas were more numerous, wo should be disposed to calculate on their speedily making considerable conquests beyond the Rio del Norte ; hut it is probable that General Lamar is not yet prepared to advance, however ardent his ambi tion for glory. When the news reaches him, how ever, oftho fresh efforts on the part of the Federal ists in Mexico, it is possible he may seize on the opportunity for striking a blow against Malamoras, and entering the province of Coahuila. No doubt General Lamar would have a call for volunteers answered by thousands in the South and West, if a reasonable p'aspect of reward was held out, and the gold and silver of Mexico were to be the prizes of valor and daring. >So far as an enlarged philanthropy may ho allow ed to prompt our wishes, we should rejoice to see the Anglo-Saxon race making themselves masters of Mexico; provided the con [uost can, as we think it may, ho effected without much bloodshed. For three centuries that country has been execrably governed, and its natives kept in the darkest ignor ance and the blindest superstitions. The tide of emigration and conquest that usually sets from North to bfouth, will find in Mexico the widest and richest field ever yet offered to man. The effects of a good government, and an enlightened industry, would soon he felt by the commercial and manufac turing interests of Europe and America. Wo re peat any change must he for the hotter.— N. U. Courier. Editohial Chance. —Mr. Sol. Smith, has sold the establishment of the Mobile Mercantile Advertiser, to Messrs. C. C. Larigdon and J. O. Harris, by whom the paper will hereafter bo con ducted. Mr. Smith publishes quite a lengthy valedictory, which he concludes with the follow ing very appropriate remarks, relative to tile jtal runn-tfe of newspaper establishments, “Os all trades, professions, or callings, I know ol none—l have followed a great many—so poorly paid as newspaper publishers. Many patrons of newspapers, otherwise, worthy, punctual men, think it not unrighteous to let the publisher wait year after year for his dues—and at last, if he is compelled to pay, he does it with a very had grace. “Mr. Type must have his money must he !” Well, if lie must , he must. Give me a receipt; and do you hear I stop the paper —l have patron ised that establishment six years—there is no such thing as gratitude in the world.” Another will tell you he never .subscribed for the paper —“the hoy has left it every morning, it is true, and as it was left, I did read it occasionally—but I never ordered it.” There is another class of patrons who never subscribe at all, but are great friends o! the paper, and always read it —in fact, this is the class who may be termed your “constant read ers.” “Here, Sam, go over the way, with my compliments to Mr. Tompkins, and ask him for the loan of his paper—and, Sam, tell him as he never reads it before breakfast, I'll thank him to let John bring it over here every morning—it is an excellent paper—that editor really knows what he is about—l begin to think of patronizing him myself.” There yet remains to he mentioned, one more class of patrons—supporters I should say, for they are the support and stay of publish ers. 'l'liis class is composed of those who say— “ Here Mr. Clerk, —be so good as to place my name on your subscription list—and write oppo site it, pair in- advance.” In looking over a list of some thousands yesterday, I saw a hundred or two of this class. II I had any golden types, their names should literally appear in letters of gold. There arc now from twelve to fifteen thousand dollars due this office; and, I urn convinced, the new proprietors would willingly sell all the debts for live thousand ! It is thus, with all newspaper offices—and, why I—because publishers are good-natured, and submit to their own degradation in the scale of tradesmen.

The short of the story is simply this—the Directors have retained about six acres of land for the Monu ment ground—enough for all their purposes—and given up what they did not require, and what, was not necessary to the accomplishment of their object, I he land which has been surrendered was not pur chased with a view of retaining it as a portion of the Monument ground, hut that the Association might direct the manner in which it should he laid out for improvement.

Wo doubt very nmeli whether the establishment of 11 National Hunk will bo brought forward again for many yours to conic. The United States Bank has now got a foot hold in this city, and in a man ner that is likely to bo permanent. It is established under a law of our State, which, it is stated, it altered or repealed, eannot ailed those banking institutions which have been or may be organised under it; and if this is correct, we eannot see why the charter is not perpetual. The bank is now in successful operation in this city, as well os I’hila delphiu; its branches ate estahlislied in New Orleans, Cincinnati, and various other large places. As soon as the local banks in Alabama. Louisiana and Mississippi resume specie payments, as they unquestionably will in the course of a few months, there is no reason why this bank may not deal in domestic exchanges ns extensively, and at as low rates as formerly. We have il troiu such authority as we deem satisfactory, that the great bulk ot their operations here w ill consist in discounting this de scription of paper. The other large banks recently commenced in this city under tho present law. end the great charters granted in South Carolina, 'I en ncsseo and Mississippi, will, beyond all question, soon he in operation. Most of them have establish ed a credit in Europe that will afiord them the facili ties they require. These hanks w ill find il for their interest also to deal in domestic exchanges; all which will create a rivalry and a Competition that will keep down the rate of internal exchanges to a point equivalent to the transportation ol specie. lithe rale of exchange should rule on all parts of the United States at or about one per cent, as wo think it. will, the next object will be to have a de scription ot bank notes that will be received through out the United Statesat par or a fraction under, ft this can be effected, there will be no need of a Na tional Bank. We are informed that as soon as the banka at the South have resumed specie payments, it is the in tention of the present United .States Bank to issue ■ a description ol hank notes that shall be generally current throughout the country, and that they will do this by making them payable in New fork, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, Cincinnati. .Now Orleans, and perhaps other places. Bank notes with the advantage of redemption at various points, and based upon the well known credit and solvency of the United States Bank, w.atld without question be received every where, and would enjoy perfect confidence. The travelling community would ho accommodated, and every individual wishing to transmit a hundred dollar bill from one end of the country to the other could do so with perfect securi ty and without loss. The convenience to the public would be very great, and the advantage to the hank immense, as such notes would enjoy a circulation probably greater than at any period since its estab lishment under the old charter. A'o bank is so well situated to avail itself of this valuable circula tion, as the U. S. Bank. They have their branch es and agents already established, and have also a credit made that cannot be shaken. No new bank can compete with them in this particular for years. If this plan should bo carried out, as we have no doubt, it will ho in a short time, there will not be that occasion fora National Bank which hitherto exist ed. From Hie New York Herald. Money Market. Thursday, Oct. 2."—0 P. M. We have received by the recent vessels, private accounts from the centre of the London money mar ket of the highest importance to American interests. The recent depression of American securities has been created, indirectly, by the efforts of the London money dealers to discountenance the dis count of Amen 'an mercantile paper in their mar ket. These men complain that four or five houses in the American trade in London, such as the Bar ings, ITolford & Co., Jaudon, Morrison <t Cryder, and perhaps others, have already introduced the old system of accepting hills, which bills arc thus accept ed in order to be discounted among the money deal ers of London. This system is objected to as simi lar to the credit system which caused the convulsion of 1830,-37. Tho United States Bank is particu larly obnoxious to those men—to such as Samuel Gurney, and many other hill brokers on London ’Change that wc could name. Many months ago, large amounts of hills of exchange, drawn on Mr. Jaudon al (i months sight, and coming round for ac ceptance by the way oflndia, China, appeared there. These bills were based on the natural movements of the foreign trade of the United States—yet the London money dealers, probably countenanced by the Bank ofEngland, raised great objections to their negociation and circulation. In spite of those ef forts, it is calculated that $8,000,000 in American paper have been discounted in the London market during the present year, partly to purchase goods in Manchester and Liverpool—and partly on the sales of American stocks. This accounts for the large quantities of British manufactures now reaching our shores. Tho rise of corn in England—and the flood of American state storks, may affect the nego tiation of American mercantile paper in London, hut in spite of the Opposition of the bill brokers there, we have no doubt the system will increase and wi den its operatioes. On another day, we will unfold, at length, the operations of the London money market as affect ing American credit. The present movement there against our credit, is in some respects connected with tho efforts made in Liverpool to force Hum phries & Biddle into the market, and sacrifice their cottons at a low price. From the position of money matters on this side, as well as on the other, we have no doubt that American securities in London, as well as American cottons in Liverpool, will maintain their position and ultimately come out triumphant. But cotton will enjoy the first triumph. New York and Pennsylvania Cana's. NT.w Loan Cavaib,— fence the opening of the New York .State Canals this season, up to Oc tobei the Ist.

Mr. Van Amhurgh has been styled by the philologos of the above equestrian establishment as the brute tamer, mu! certainly the appellation is well applied, as this daring feat will prove, for never was the courage or the presence of mind of man pul' to a severer lest. From the information obtained by our reporter yes terday, from an authentic source, it appears (hat on Wednesday last a leheasal was going on in the circus of tho theatre, when Mr. Vun Amhurgh, wishing one ofhis tigers to perform a eeitain feat, which the animal was utterly unable or unwilling to accomplish, had recourse to severe corporeal pun ishment, which chastisement he indicted with a large horsewhip, t.bnarling under the pain oftlie la li, the animal became incensed, and suddenly sprung upon Mr. Van Amhurgh, who instantly was hurled with violence to the ground, from the strength and weight ofhis incensed assailant. Mr. \ an Amhurgh, who is of Herculean ease, and pos sessing extraordinary muscular power, instantly perceived tho intention of the animal, which was that of tearing him to pieces, and w ith the cour age and presence of mind which tew men possess, seized his foe by the lip oftlie lower jaw, and thus pinioned him as a bull dog would an ox at a bait. A long and fearful struggle now ensued, in the course of which both the man ami the tiger rolled over several times. At length Mr. Van Amhurgh got the better of his foe by throwing him on his back, at the same time kneeling on his stomach, and with Ills other hand, which was till now unen gaged. commenced striking the prostrate animal with his clenched fist, the blows following in quick succession, over the head, lace, and particularly the nose, until the blood flowed from the subdued ani mal, who here quivered under the grasp oftlie con queror. At length Mr. Van Amhurgh, perceiving that he had completely overcome him, released his hold, and the animal finding himself at liberty, reti red a short distance from his master, and crouched dov nas if severely suUcmi:; from the punishment ho had received. It may here he proper to mention that the performers (so we understood) did not pay any attention to the struggle, considering that it was merely a rehearsal oftlie part to he played in the even ng, until they saw him administering the se vere chaHtisemnil, ns before described, to tho enra ged n l l i ll m 1, and its efiiirts to compel Mr. Van Am burgh to release his hold.
