Letters of the 37th nit., from Belize, llondu- '
ras, received at New-York, state that the Province
of Guatamala, was again in a complete state of
revolution, the rebel chief Carora having taken
up arms against the Government for the second
time, and with the aid of about 1000 men had
captured the old city of Guatamala, nearly every
house and church he had robbed. He was sub-
Ha'.piently driven out by Gen. Lalagar, from near
Guatamala, after a severe action, in which 300
of his followers were killed. President Marazon
at tho head of 3000 men from St. Salvador, was
in pursuit of the rebels, and hopes were enter
tained that the revolution would bo soon sup
pressed. In consequence of the disturbed con
dition of tho country, the com crop of Cochineal
lndigo were^pcet^^bcmcr^^vt.
In consequence of the sudden change ol the
weather in New York on the 27th, holders of

The hew York American says that notwith
standing the many mistakes made in the first
arrangement and fitting out of the Fulton, she is,
at last, not altogether a failure. We have it on
good authority, that on a trial of speed with the
Great Western, on the occasion of the departure
of the latter vessel, the Fulton proved her supe
riority. Eveii without any fuel on board, she
is depressed beyond her intended bearings ns
A.much as if loaded with coal for twenty day’s con
sumption. She carries the same pressure of
steam as when at sea in a heavy blowy and has
often worked with higher steam, and made more
revolutions, even with her coal-holds full.
The Globe of Wednesday the 28th ult., says,
“Information has been received at the department
of State, under date of the 10th of October, from
Turin, that the health officer of Genoa has just
determined, under a decision which has received
the King’s sanction, that goods coming from North
America shall in future be admitted to free preti
que, upon condition that they come provided with
a certificate, besides tuo dean bill of health, from
a consular agent of his .Majesty, (the King of Sar

There appears to he a strong desire to convey
to the public mind the impression of the U. S.
Bank bring iu t ic Cotton market, and exercising
an improper inlluonco therein. We have made
inquiries on the subject, but can learn nothing
to justify tho belief that this institution has tho
dived control of a single bale, although it is not
IsPTo doubted that moans have been furnished
her customers for their operations. Whatever
objections there exist on general principles to the
interference of any Banking institution with the
trade and commerce of the country, still it must
be granted that tho facilities afforded by the U. S.
Bank have been tho means of preserving our great
staple from such a prostration as would have
ruined all concerned ; —the southwestern portion
ofahe Union should bo the last to complain of
friendly interposition, and we wish that we
couln tr.'l authorized to congratulate the planting
on a prospect of their obtaining through

'J'iie Detroit Daily Advertiser states that Gen.
Brady, accompanied by a detachment of the U.
troops, left that city on the forenoon of the
iOtii last.,on board the steamboat Illinois, for the
purpose of intercepting one or two steamboats
that are supposed to be in the employment of the
“Patriot ’ forces, and which, it is said, wore to
leave Cleaveknd on the 19lh and 20th, with the
view ol rendezvousing at sjin? point below De
troit, prepatory to making a landing on the Cana
dian shore.
The Advertiser adds, “From information which
has come to our knowledge, we are inclined to
think that the plans of the insurgents are deeply
l aid—that they have largo resources to draw upon,
and that there arc many disaffected persons in
Canada who arc aiding them. We hope and
trust that the officers, civil and military, of our
government will carry out the instructions of
President Van Buren touching our neutral rela
tions, and use every proper effort to prevent the
recurrence of tumult and disorder, which so un
happily disturbed this frontier last winter. Public
opinion now demands of every officer the prompt
and energetic discharge of his duty. We shall
see whether those to whom is entrusted the exe
cution of tile laws, have the moral courage and
firmness to act in good faith at this crisis, or
whether they will clandestinely aid and abet a
party, whoso movements are calculated to de
stroy our neutral relations, and impair our honor
and high standing as a nation.”

It appears that at a public meeting held al Os- I
wego. New York, on the 19th instant, the follow
ing resolution was passed:—
Resolved, That a committee consisting of nine
be appointed by the chair to draft a petition and
cause it to be presented to the Canadian authori
ties, praying the release of our unfortunate fel
low citizens who were taken prisoners at the late
battle at Prescott.
The Kingston, Upper Canada, Chronicle states
that the loss of the Patriots in the two affairs at
Prescott, was as follows:
Killed on the 13th, 07

Prisoners taken on Tuesday and sent to
Fort Henry, 20
Surrendered unconditionally on Friday, 132

Extracts from the correspondence of the New

London-, Nov. 1.
“We arc all in a political quandary here, and the
plot thickens so fast Upon ns that the calmest be
gin to look aboutVheni with some apprehension.
'T he fact is, wUhave just received from our East
India possesions, the most unequivocal indica
tions of a covert plan for a combined attack upon
ns by the native princes. The existence of an
ill feeling has long been suspected, hut the imper
fect, and ill-understood accounts which have been
permitted to reach this country, have kept us in
the d irk as to the real state of the case. We now
learn the open refusal of some of the nabobs to
pay tribute: the Intrigues of others with Persia,
to secure her support; secret despatches and cn- 1
voys intercepted and captured, an imposing Nc- '
paid force taking possession of the mountain
passes, and the increase of our native standing
army by about 25 percent, of its present number.
It is true, wc have some set off’ on the other
hand against these very gbomy appearances in
the cast. The schab of Persia has consented to
do all that wo required of him. and has sent to in
vite our Ambassador back to his court.
•• flip subject of steam connnuniaition engrosses
more and more of public attention. The Great
Western Company are about to build two vessels
equal in sue to the G. W., and the company at
Liverpool, intend doing the sonic. The Philadel
phians must lose no time, or there will be no room
lor them. Further attempts are also making to
establish an efficient and regular steam communi
cation with India, either by the Red Sea . or round
the Cape of Good. Hope. The difficulties are
not light, and the East India Company, do not
appear disposed to give any effectual assistance,
, although i! is said they would not (could not !)
\athhold their support if the thing were once es
taWlished ; others affirm that their unwillingness <
arises trout other causes, and that they are not o\>/
anxious that the public should be too much, or too
often enlightened on the affairs of the East.
“ Our money markets are pretty firm, although
they have been a little affected by the news above
alluded 10, but not to the extent expected. The
market for American Stocks is heavy, and there is
no avidity to do business ; the advices from your
side by the Great Western, which arc to the Ith
inst., are considered lo be of afa rumble and pro
mising nature.'’
From the New York Kxprcss.
1 he defalcation of Mr. Swartwout still excites
a goad deal of interest, in the city, and the fact of
the defalcation, hitherto doubted by some, is now
generally admitted. Mr. Swartwout’s defalcations
begun, it presumed, the first year of his appoint
ment, and continued through the whole of Gen
eral Jacks,m a administration, and through some
portion of Mr. Van Daren’s. The Star of last
evening states, that the late Collector was always
a buyer, and never a seller, of the various kinds
ot stocks in which he was a notorious speculator.
His accounts with the Treasury Department, at
Washington, were never settled, and hence the
immense amount of money lost, and the late hour
in which the fact of the defalcation has been
made known to the public. The Treasury De
partment can have no excuse for this, and none
■'vill_.Dc received. In alluding lo this fact, the
Star says boldly—
“We charge upon the Treasury Department,
that Mr. owartwout’s account of Ootids received,
paid, and in suit, has never been examined, item
by item, since 1 Slit !” and adds, that it is a fact
within onr knowledge that Mr. Swnrtwonl’s
Dond to (lie Government for the faithful discharge
ol his duties lay whole months hero without be
ing executed, and we believe was burnt with oth
er papers when the Treasury was destroyed by
lire. The neglect of tbo Treasury Department
to examine and pass upon his quarterly accounts
sines 1820, according to law—the careless indif
ference in relation to his personal bond lo the
Government, allowing it to remain a long time
here unexecuted, release his sureties from all re
sponsibility.—When the Committee of Congress
appointed to examine into the -o affairs shall ar
rive here, all these facts tending to show the cul
pable neglect of the Treasury Depart ment will be.

Tuvin; ix Pkxx»ti,vani.». —We have con
densed from various sources of information, the
amountof’busmess done the last season in certain
articles which form a part of the trade of this great
State, from which it appears that there was ship
ped from the Schuylkill Goal Region, 086,7211
tons of coal up to the 17th hist. During the sea
son the Canal trade in part, has been as follows:
In one year from October 31st, 1837, to October
31st, 1838, the Hour shipped upon the Pennsylva
nia final was 181,735 bids; the wheat shipped
was 40 957 bushels, —3500 were the number of
bouts cleared from Pittsburgh during the year—
their total tonnage amounting to 48,210,243. —
The passengers have travelled 3,050,170 miles,
and the total of the tolls received in the
year for passengers and freight amounts to
§45,030 87. This only embraces the trade
Eastward. The reverse trade has been larger, if
wo may judge from the fact Hint the total tonnage
of goods shipped from the Eastward amounts to
64,883,401. Those facts arc very important, as
showing the amount of Pennsylvania trade, and
the profits of this Canal to the State'of Pennsyl
vania.— .V. Y. Krpress.
Nashville, Nov. Si,—Major General Win
field Scott, U. S. Army, and Aids, majors Ander
son and Shaw, arrived in this city last evening
from the Cherokee country, and took lodgings at
the City Hotel. The General’s visit, we under
stand, will he short, as it is understood that recent
orders from the War Department demand his im
mediate presence on the Northern frontier. He
will take the first boat for Louisville, and probably
leave town this evening or to-morrow.
New-Yoric Election-.—Votes for Gov
ernor.—We learn from the Albany Argus, that
official returns from all the Counties in the Stale
except Alleghany, give Seward, for Governor,
189,583 voles; Marey 179,785. Majority for
Seward 9,798. Add 600 in Alleghany, and the
majority for S. in the State 10,398. The whole
vote of Alleghany will he about 5,600, making
the number of votes polled in the State at this
election, on the Governor’s ticket, about 375,000.
This is by far the greatest vote ever polled in
the State. The number polled a year ago on the
Senate ticket, as officially declared, was 295,318.
Deduct this number from 376,000, the number
polled this year, and we have a gain of 80,000
votes.
In November, 1830, the aggregate number of
votes for all the Gubernatorial candidate, Marey,
Seward, and Smith, was 300,260; being less
than the number polled this year, by 09,000.

Dr. Duncan, whom the Administration put for

He denounces Slavery as “more unmoral in ils

Slave Slates, ‘-the vengeance of God rests upon
every thing upon which you cast your eves” and
invokes “curses upon the heads of those who sus

Youxo Mki hamcs.—There is no class of the
community upon w hom the future welfare of the
country more essentially depends than upon the
rising generation of young mechanics. If they
are intelligent, sober, industrious, and consequent
ly independent, able and accustomed to judge for
themselves, and governed, in their conduct, by an
enlightened view of their own host interests, if
they are men of this sort, the mechanics, and es
pecially the young mechanics, will form the strong
est bulwaik of our free institutions, and the best
hope of the republic.
If, on the other hand, they are ignorant, idle,
dissolute, and consequently poor, and dependent
upon those who arc willing to trust them—if our
mechanics should unhappily become such, a class
(of which I thank God, there is hut little danger,)
they would soon he converted into tho mere tools
of a few rich and artful men, who having first
stripped them of every sense of self-respect, and
every feeling proper to virtuous objects, and for
the enactment of laws which are beneficial to no- !
body but the artful few with whom they originate. I
It is as true of the mechanical art:: as of any
other profession, that ‘knowledge is power,’ and
we earnestly recommend to the attention of our
friends among the young mechanics, thefollowing
exc. limit ‘hints,’ copied from the Buffi.lo Journal:
Hints la Young Mechanic —The first object
of a mechanic, as it should ho that of every one,
in to become thoroughly acquainted with Iris par
ticular business or railing.—We arc too apt to
learn our trade or profession by halves—to prac- |
ti.v.- it by halves—and lienee being compelled to
live by halves—die by inches.
.Study and labor to excel your competitors and
; then you will not fail to command the patronage
of the most discerning and lib oral paymasters.—
There is a great variety of higely useful know!-
' dge which appertain ,to c cry bnndi of business
that may* be acqnirt d by n course of judicious

and the* greatest safety in the time of (lunger from
the elements. It you ure u machinist or mill
wright, the meelaimc powers should he well un

hy steam or water, yon should study the seieneo
ol hydraulics, and should have a perfect knowl
edge ol the chemical combination of heal and wa
ter, hoth in its latent and active state, and under
stand how it happens that, a quart us water con
vert- il into steam, which hy a thermometer, is no
hotter than boiling water, yet will bring a gallon
of water tip to the same temperature. If you ate
a hatter, a dyer, a painter, or a tanner, there is no
study so userul as chemistry.
I lie fact was know n u quarter of a century to
chemists that gum shellac was insoluble in water
before any hatter ever used it to make waterproof
hats. I lie whole art of giaing beautiful and till
able colors to ditbrent bodies entirely depends
upon the chemical uliinity of such bodies for the
coloring material, and the etlihity of this latter for
the dillcrcnt colored rays of light.
U o speak underslandingly when we say that
the tanners and the public in the United Slates
lose millions annually horn the lack of scientific
knowledge how best to combine vegetable tannin
with animalgelatin, which is the chemical process
ol making leather—call it hy wllut names yon
please,
1 here is a vast amount of knowledge which is
now completely useless, that ought to be brought
home to the understanding of every operative in
this republic. W e love industry and respect all
who practice it. lint labor without study is like
a body without u soul. Cultivate and enrich the
mind with alt useful knowledge, and rest assured
that an intelligent understanding will tcaih the
hands how to earn dollars whew the ignorant earn
only cents.
Mini.ri-.vii Ixcmiknt.—At a public house in
Scotland, a soldier stopped to lake some refresh
ment. He was ushered into a room where the
landlord happened to be making merry with some
neighbors, mid the soldier being a man of wars
and travels, he highly enter! lined them with sto
ries. At length one of the most inquisitive high
landers asked him what was the most cruel sight
he had over seen in his life, lie answered that
he had seen many a revolting sight, lint something
connected with the massacre of Cilenrat bent them
all! and there he saw sixteen men bound hand
and foot, then placed side hy side on a bench, and
sixteen musket halls tired through their stout
hearts! Upon this the landlord took an occasion
logo out, and beckoned to one of his neighbors
to follow.
‘1 now understand,’ said he, ‘that this red coat
was at the murder el my father, forslc was one

They went in together, and, sure of llietr prey,

‘About dawn,’continued he, we were under
orders to quit Glcneue. Passing hy a brook, we
heard the sea arns of a child. The captain said
to me ‘tin Duncan, destroy (hat child if it he a
male, it a female spare it.’ 1 found a decent look
ing woman forcing the corner of a blanket in
which it was wrapt into it a month, and thus try
ing to save it my heart melted with pity—l told
the captain it was a female child !
Upm this the landlord exclaimed,‘l was that
child in my mother’s lap! often has she told me
the talc with tears of gratitude 1 I had a little
while ago resolved to slay you ; but now put off
that red coat, and he as my brother forever!’ So
saying he called his aged mother, and related the
circumstance to, who was sensibly all’cctcd at
having the deliverer ot her child pointed out to her.
His discharge from his regiment was purchased
and lie is now an inmate and faithful servant in
tint employ of the inn-keeper.

The editor of the Cincinnati Gazette says he
“discerned more than twelve months ago that

in Ohio.” The Van Huron party in die South,
however, would lain nuke the people believe that
the Whigs are the only i ncinica of the South in

A few bales of “Bituminatcd Peat,” the com

of refuse anthracite coal screenings, tar, See,,
were put on board the Great Wc.stern on her
last trip from New York, in order to test the
merits ascribed to this species of fuel. The en
gineer, who-is said to he a- man of scientific attain
-1 incuts, addressed a letter to the inventors on the
■ return of the. ship, in which he states that the
result of tlie trial lias satisfied him that one huu
j dred pounds of peat are equal to three hundred
| of coal, and that in cases where there is difficulty
in generating or keeping up a good head of steam,

put on hoard previous to her sailing a few days
