The most important event to the country is the probable result ol lh" wheal harvest in Eng -1 and and on the eon tin on 10l Europe. In France most ol the grain had been harvested and the crops were remarkably good. In the southern parts oI England the wheat harvest was nearly over, and the crops generally good. In Wiltshire very lit tle Was cut, up to the 22d, hill the crops, it is be lieved, will Ire loh rahly good. In the midland counties the prospect is nil ipnlr as favorable, and in lire north the crops will Is- decidedly had and the harvest very late. The weather for ma ny days had been fluctuating, mid so had been the prices of wheat. In Mark Lane on the Itlllt of August, wheat advanced 2 a 3s per quarter, and a bother advance was looked for the next market day, hut providentially the weather clear ed up, which is at all times a barometer for regu lating prices, TUB COTTON AM It K BT.

These admirable packets, whieh sailed from New V’ork on the Isl of August. arrived at their ports of destination after a very short passage The (ireal Western arrived at Bristol alter a passage of I'd day* 11 hours; the Queen at Forts mouth in Id days 11 hours—being about one day in favor of the Western. The Drilish Queen was at Hlaekwall, about four miles below London Bridge, when the West ern sailed. IShe was undergoing some little change in In r interior arrangement*' She had a large number of passengers engaged, and will probably come out full. HTKAM PACKKTH TO Til K WKST I Nil IKS. It is already known that steam ships are build ing to run twice a month between England and Halifax. It has been officially iinnouneed thin the government intend to have steam cotntiiuni eation with all the West India Islands, The ar rangements were thus slated in the House of Commons on the 2!st of August, by Mr. Secre tary Wood of the Admirably. It vv ih on a mo lion ot Mr, flume for copies of the contract. Mr. (diaries Wood objected to the honorable gentleman’s motion, but gave him the informa tion he required. The lowest lender, which Inis been received, in an answer to a public advertise nii'ul. for the North American mail to Halifax, is 45,000/. a year; the mail to he conveyed once a month. This proposal appeared 100 high, and the Admirably have since made a private bargain for 50,000/.; the mail to he conveyed once a fortnight. Arrangements have also been made for a mail from Halifax to lioston once a fort night, the total annual expense of which would he 60,000/.; these arrangements have been made for seven years No contract has yet beet, en tered into for packets to the West Indies, hntgo vurrimeut do not expect to make a similar bargain for that station with any party, unless they have interests of another kind at slake in the West Indies. No offer Ini ; been made to the Admiral ty half so good as that whieh has been taken.— Parlies have proposed to perforin the duty for 410,(100/ .and their oiler bus been accepted. I here is now a communication with the West Indies, ns well as Mexico, by sailing vessels twice a month. The employment of sailing packets, however, has turned out very unsatisfac tory, No communication by packet has yet been opened with Malabar, and that between the whole o( our West Indian possessions and the coasts of Nuiilh and North America is still very defective. I here is no communication between Mexico and the West Indies, nor between Cuba and the cast coast ot America. These deficiencies will he supplied by the above mentioned contractors.— I hreo small steamers of 4(10 horse-power will cross the Atlantic, and such lines will he estab lished as will connect all the islands of the West Indies, whether liritish or foreign, and as will also connect our colonies in the West Indies with those in Hemerara and Herhice, with (he Oarac eas and Honduras; with Havana, Vera Gruz, ami the western part of the United Kittles; a con nection will also he established between Havana and New Voile, I ho number of steamers required for tins ser vice is 14. The arrangement will take of fed In the summer of 1841; as soon, in fact, as the steamers can be built. This arrangement is to last ten years. The Solicitor General pointed out the injury that would ho sustained by the royal navy if the openings for employment which presettled themselves in the packet service were 1 thus closed, and thought government should sli- I I'ulate that the station should remain where it had c lieeu for 150 years—at Falmouth. With regard 1 to the first objection of the learned gentleman, it is perfectly clear that naval ((Hirers,us in the case 1 ol the (treat Western {which employs three ofli- I ccrs ol the royal navy) and the liritish Queen * (which employs two) will he preferred as their ' commanders, il so disposed, and at g more liberal rale of remuneration than the roygj navy would vouchsafe them. I On this subject, interesting to our mercantile interest, the (Standard holds the following lan- x gunge:— e “I his extensive and well combined opertllii n embraces every colony, liritish and foreign, and s the coast ol America from Surinam to New Or leans, at the same time furnishing all these coun tries with a connected line of packets for corre spondence and passengers with each other, and 1 with New \ ork and Halifax, as well as with Kn- * rope, by the direct line from this country to and Imm the West Indies. I’he course of post with , the West Indies from London to London again "ill he 58 days, with abundance of time at e (cry place.

Harhadoes, Grenada, St, Thomas, mid I'orlo Kko, and also a portion of Havli will he able to communicate with London in 43 days.” “We hear also that it is contemplated to con nect with this plan a line of sailing packts from Fanama to Sydney, by which the course of post between that place and London might he liroughl to about live months.” Til K Oil AIITIKTS. Most of the leader* of the chartists Lave been tried and found guilty, and sentenced to impris onment from one to two years, leaving the party without a head to direct their movement*. Al though they avu still agitating various parts of the Ninth of England, il is behoved that little mis chief will he done. Those men who were con cerned in the riot at Birmingham, and who were sentenced to death, have been reprieved, and will be transported. The chartists in many places arc adopting a new and singular method of an noyance. They assemble at some public place and proceed in a body to the parish church, ex cluding thereby all pew holders. &c. Frequent ly they semi to the clergyman a text, and if he | preaches from it they appear to be satisfied with j his cllorls. Generally, the clergyman proceeds with his I subject in a manner not very gratifying to the j Chartists, ami this leads to mmult. At Sheffield, | seventy.two persons were arrested . but two only j had been committed for trial. On the 18lh of August they tilled the old parish churell in that town, ami also crowded the church yard. They had proclaimed their intention of attending the same place oil Sunday the 25th. ami had sent a request to the clergyman to preach from sih .lames, first six verses—“Go to, now. ye rich men,” <Sce. One of the chief leaders of the Chartists was the llev. Mr. Stephens, a dissenting uuhister.— He was recently tried at Chester, found guilty, mil sentenced to eighteen mouths’imprisonment. He conducted his defence, and made a powerful appeal to the jury. TUP. CAN All AS. The act for making temporary provision for t he government ol Lower Canada received the royal assent on the I7th of \ugust. The Ist section provides that the Special Coun cil shall consist of not less than twenty members, and no business lie done unless eleven he present.

This prelate will pro " hahly return to America by the (ircul Western in r October. Bishop McDonald, of the Roman Catholic 1 | Church, is in England. He arrived at Liverpool from Quebec on the Ist of August. In the House of Commons, on the 20th of j August, Mr. O’Connell enquired whether the SecrCta | rv for the Colonies had received any information j respecting the proclamation of Sir G. Arthur 1 against Orange processions having been disregar ded in Canada. Mr. J.ahouehere answered that he had not re ceived any information further than that the pro clamation had produced good effect; and he add -1 <d, that lie could give the house the general assu , ranee that Sir (i. Arthur would do all in his power . to discourage Orangeism and Orange processions, . and prevent the irritation of parly spirit, f 'nil: hank of Ireland, . Mr. O’Connell has obtained a triumph over the Chancellor of the Exchequer, by having dri , v,, n the latter from his purpose of renewing the charter of the Hank ol Ireland. It is postponed s until the next session. Meantime a lull will pass allowing the hank a temporary continuance, B It appears to have been the wish of Mr. Spring Rice to have the charters of the Banks of Eng- I land and Ireland to expire at the same time—so t that all future applications should he at the same ( session. 9 BI.AVB TUADK SUPPRESSION HILL. The Roval assent has been given to the slave I trade suppression hill. A very strong feeling ■ of indignation prevails in England against the • course pursued by Mr. Trist the L. S. Consul at Havannu. When the assent was made known 1 to the < ominous, “Mr. O’Connell adverted to the newspaper statements which turned out to he correct, of a conspiracy on the part of Portuguese traffickers in slaves to have poisoned wine on the decks of their vessels in case of capture, and to poison the water, and thus to destroy, by such horrible means, their captors; and expressed the hope that our government would promptly represent the facts to the Portuguese government, and require redress by Ihe prosecution of the conspirators.” AFFAIRS OF THE EAST. In the House of Commons on the 22d of Au gust, the following important announcement was made by Lord Palmerston. Mr. Hume asked the noble lord the Secretary of State for the Department, whether the statement which hud recently appeared in the public journals was true—namely, that the five powers had agreed on a basisfor the settlement of the affairs of the East. Lord Palmerston was glaihthat the hon. mem ber for Kilkenny had asked him the question, be cause it would enable him Instate that which he had no doubt that it would ho satisfactory to the house to hear—namely, that on the 28th of last month a note had been presented to the ministeis of the Porte, signed by the representatives of the five great powers, technically called a collective Hole, wliich stated that they were instructed by their respective governments to inform the Porte, that the five powers were agreed generally as to the affairs now pending between Turkey and Egypt, and that they were directed to ask the Porte to suspend any nogociations into which it might have entered with Mehcmct Ali.and not lo proceed therein without the knowledge and con currence of the five powers, That note has been accepted by the Turkish government with great thankfulness. The house might therefore he as sured that there would be no disturbance of the peace of the East, unless some new subject of dif ference arose, of which there was no prospect whatever at present. PRANCE. The treaty between France and Mexico has beer, ratified. The Duke and Duchess of Orleans were tra velling through the south of France, and were every where received with marks of affection. The fete of Napoleon had been celebrated in several districts by fireworks, illuminations, &c. SPAIN. Is still in a deplorable condition, and there is no prospect of a speedy change. The last ac counts speak of a revolt against Maroto. The Memorial des Pyreunees of the 17th August, stales that all the provinces had declared against Manila. A tow days ago, while on the frontiers of France, we conversed with an English officer who had just arrived from Spain—he informed us that matters were about as bad ns they could be, and that but very few English were now engaged with either ol the contending parties. The last dates from Madrid mention that the cabinet was in the greatest embarrassment, a majority being of the opinion that it was not practicable lo meet the Cortes at present. In al luding lo the defection of Maroto a Madrid paper remarks—“lt is believed that Generals Espartero and Maroto have concluded an arrangement of the following nature: Don Carlos to be banished for ever from Spain, tmt to be allowed an ade quate pension. The Carlists are lo preserve all; I heir ranks and titles, and the northern provin ces lo continue in the enjoyment of their lucres. A letter from Madrid states “that Don Carlos left San Esteban on the loth, for Estella. Just as he was getting on horseback, he addressed the troops and said, "1 have no confidence in any general; 1 am going to put myself at the head of the army with my sou: will you follow me?”— The soldiers all replied, "W e will follow you to the death,” with the greatest enthusiasm. Elio remains with the 9th ami part ol the 7th battal ions of Navarre, watching the revellers. All the peasants and troops are said to be ready to rise in favor of Don Carlos against Maroto; but every thing will depend on what is done at Estella.” UNITED STATES BANK AGINCT. The agency of Mr. Jaudon has ceased in I.on don. and hereafter the hank willdraw on Baring, Brothers iV Co. Mr. Jaudon will spend a few • months on the continent, and return to the Uni ted Blutes in the spring. XI AH IN K OF FRANCK. The French government are looking to art in crease of steam vessels for naval purposes. Their most experienced commander of steam shijis, i (’apt. Sarlat, came out a passenger iu the Great Western, for the purpose ol observing the mu- I chinery of this ship, and also to pursue his inves tigations iu the United Slates. He spent much I time in looking at th engine on his passage, and 1 wo believe we are correct iu saying that he was 1 surprised at the working of the machinery during i the severe storm which the ship encountered.

The same re marks apply to twist.—There is, however, one redeeming quality to notice, that considerably more business has been doing. HitftDKKHFi eld.—There was an average at tendance of buyers at market on Tuesday ; and though things cannot be called brisk, still the de mand for the farming districts was very good, and late prices were readily paid. The fancy trade is not so brisk; hut as the storks are small, a diminished demand is no' at present felt. Leeds.—The demand for goods is mainly con fined to the home market, of which the sales have been considerable, but at rates by no means satisfactory to the manufacturers. Our export merchants are showing more signs of life than of late, hut from what wc can hear this is not likely to he of long continuance. CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL. A U G U STA. THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 19. FOR GOVERNOR, CHARLES DOUGHERTY, OF CLARK COUNTY. We are sorry to say that the fever with whiuh our city is alllicted, seems to continue without abatement. From Wednesday of last week, at noon, to twelve o’clock yesterday, thirty-six deaths occurred, of which we subjoin a list.— And wc take occasion, once more, to remark that our Hoard of Health reports every death, with out exception; and nothing can he more unfoun ded, or illiberal, than the insinuations to the con trary. which papers abroad have inserted. We again ad-iso our friends who arc awnvi not to return home, till matters assume a more favorable aspect. At present, the malignity of the disease is unabated. We look, with anxiety, for a rise in the river, or an early frost. Allen Andrews, Resident. Mrs. Johnston, “ Mrs. Fox, “ I James Haggerty, Ireland. Richard I'. Hush, Resident, Thomas Avcrell, « Win.

For the Chronicle fy Sentinel, Messrs.

I would through your columns, suggest to our last years Representatives, to permit their names j to he run, as I am persuaded the public mind is not in a mood to enter into a heartless political contest at this particular time. This recommen dation is suggested not by political motives, but merely to call the subject to public attention. M. The New York Herald of the 12th. says:— Jenison, Whig, is re-elected Governor of Ver mont by 1.51)0 majority. As fur as heard from there are 18 whig and 12 locofoco members of the Senate elected, and 111 locofoco and 115 whig members to the House of Representatives. Maine Election. — Fromthelone of the Bos ton whig papers, says the New York Commer cial Advertiser, we should think that were was no doubt that Governor Fairfield is e-elected gov -1 ernor of Maine by an increased majority. A letter in the Boston Postsiys that Fairfield’s ma jority in Cumberland co. is about KIOII, and esti mates his majority in the state at from six to sev j en thousand. The Mercantile Journal of the 12th says:— that‘'the administration party have been success ful in electing their candidate for Governor by an increased majority—and have doubtless also elec ted a majority of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Portland have chosen four Whig Representatives. The Whig vote for Sen ators in this city obtained about 250 majority.” The Southern Recorder of Tuesday says: We are informed by the gentlemen connected with the Branch ofihc Darien Bank in this place, that the Bank of Darien will by the Ist of Novem ber, resume specie payments; we give this infor mation that holders of the bills may not submit to sacrifices oli them, which the circumstances would not warrant. The Court of Inquiry, appointed to investigate the charge against Commodore Elliot, have sent in their report to the Secretary. The majority recommended that he should be tried by a Naval Court Martial—Commodore Stewart dissenting. The liritish Queen. We have seen a letter from Mr. Laird, the sec retary of the British and American Steam Navi gation Company, stating that the Queen was beaten, by the Great Western, in time and dis tance, twelve hours only.* The British Queen has 170 first class passen gers engaged, and would sail from Portsmouth on the 2d, or on the morning of the 3d of Sep tember. instant. She may therefore be expected about the 19th.— New York Commercial Adver tiser. S.Muooi.Kn Goons in the West. — The Cincinnati papers state that there had been a seiz ure in that city of about £50,000 worth of foreign goods, alledged to have been fraudulently import ed. Caught at Last. —On the 22d of July, 1830, the treasury of Brazil at Rio Janeiro was robbed of 400 millions of reis. Fora long lime nothing could be discovered of the perpetrators. It is now satisfactorily ascertained that they were Pedro Peluchi, (a blacksmith,) and Rufino Ignatio dos Santos, a seaman. These men have been arres ted, and have confessed the crime. They had ac complices, but no others assisted in the actual commission of the robbery, except a slave. They effected an entrance by means of false keys. We do not find that any of the money has been re covered. The British government has concluded a con tract with private individuals for an extensive steam communication between England and the West Indies and the ports of South America; and, the packets are also to call at Charleston. S. C., if not at another of our Southern ports. The steam ships arc to be fourteen in number, and of 1400 tons burthen—and there are to be two mails per month to and fro.— Charleston Courier. S. S. Prentiss, of Mississippi Mr. Pren tiss, in his letter consenting to become a candi date for United States Senator from Mississippi, in opposition to Mr. Robert J.

The tyranny of corruption is more dangerous and more galling than the tyranny of arms, —and defeat in defence of the principles of our lathers, if we have performed our duly, is not less glorious, nor less honorable, than the death of the patriot upon a well fought battle field.” The following are the names of the passengers who perished on board the Milledgeville, on her passage from New York to Savannah : Patrick Sheridan, Bernard Goran, Edward I* lyn, James Kelly, Robert Armstrong, one sea fearing man named John, William Hendricks, and Mrs. Brady. Colonel Crockett. The following improbable story is given in a letter from Holly Springs to a gentleman of W’hecling, dated 22d ult. “It is stated that Col. David Crockett is yet alive, and in Mexico, working in the mines. There were two men, who were known to be in the battle of Alamo, passed through Memphis a few days ago, who say they escaped from the mines in Mexico, and that Crockett was certain ly there—these men are known by some of the citizens of Memphis, to be men of respectability ; these men went from Giles county, Tennessee. Therj is great excitement in Memphis about it. It will appear in a few days, and if it is the case, there will be at least ten thousand troops from Tennessee, volunteer in less than two weeks. I am determined to go.” The Secretary of the Theasubt and his Management of the Public Finances. —Much has been said recently as to the negotia tion of the Treasury notes by the Treasury De partment with sundry banks. We have recently heard of a transaction of the Secretary’s which to our mind is the neplus ul tra of Finance. The Secretary applies to a bank in Baltimore to take some of the Treasury notes, the bank slip ulating to hold them until a certain period. This is the bargain which is made public, but is in reality only a part of it. Shortly after this, the agent of the same hank appears in some of the Western States (Ohioand Indiana) with the drafts of the Treasury Depart ment in Bank in those States for a similar amount in the aggregate, to dial of the Treasury I notes negotiated. The banks there offer to pay their drafts in specie, or in checks on New York at 2 per cent, premium. The latter is accepted by the agent. Now we ask on what terms, could the bank have obtained these drafts from the Se j cretary, to be able to submit to a sacrifice of 2 per cent. 1 We answer. The whole transaction was a pitiful expedient of the Secretary to antici " ( his funds in the • -i, rn : s iates. He in fact borrows the money of the 1 - k ,orslx months, and hypothc ales Treasury j notes us collateral security. He then gives the hank il afts on the Western banks, the proceeds of which arc to be appropriated by the banks in £ rc-imhursing the loan. ' Thus the bank receives interest on the Treas ury notes, is enabled to submit to the loss of pre mium for the checks on New York of two per cent., and have the use of the money for some months, besides allowing for interest. This is one of the evidences of the operation of the present beautiful system ! Such the means which 'he ■'Secretary is obliged to resort to in mak ing transfers from the west to the east of the pub lic funds. We have heard of other instances in which the Secretary has given favorite hanks six months to make transfers of the public money from Ohio and adjoining Stales to the Atlantic cities.— Madisonian.
