St. George Cooke, of the 1st regiment United States dragoom, describing the re- rent expedition to the Rocky mountains, of the dro- goons, under command of Cat. S. W. arney; end Mthe various objects of natural history collected, during it, for the National Institute at Washington.

3 i Fost LasvwtwoaTH, Sept. 9, 1845. thua sin: I have lately returned from the expe- dtuon to the Rocky mountains, conducted by Col. S. W.

Kearney, 1st dragoons. It may be expected of the officers who have thus passed over thousands a of miles of our remote territory, some of which has been but little explored by men of science, I hat they I would contribute somewhat to the stores of knowf- edge which it is the object of the National Institute to accumulate. Certainly there was manifested by I almost every individual a zealous disposition to acquire and preserve specimens in many departments 1 of natural history; but, in truth, a great difficulty witii ell has bean the extraordinary epeed with which we have paesed over the whole ground. This 1 will be realised, when I mention that we marched twenty-one hundred miles in ninety-nine dsys, or i about twenty-one miles a day for the whole period. The horses, carrvini? the burden of the drssoon and I hia heavy equipment, and subsisting exclusively very acanty and precarious grazing, ia itself, per- haps, the most extraordinary fact in natural history 1 which- will be established by our labors.

The geography of those regions is very little known. A man of science, after making a hurried tour through an inhospitable wilderness, will be af- terward strongly tempted, if he make a map, to give it an air of finish; and if he guess not, or take common reports for sufficient data, will probably copy some old authority. A young officer of topographical engineers accompanied the expedition; and having passed through districts, unexplored by even the indefatigable Frfmont, it is believed his report will shed important light upon that terra incognita. We were agreeably surprised to find beautiful and varied scenery upon the Platte river, but particularly on the North fork. A great level alluvial valley, resembling rather in extent the flats bordering an ocean, Without mountain or grove, promises (title; but in the river are islands beautifully wooded, and its shallow bed ia ao vaat and straight, as frequently to bound the horizon with water, on which the sun ieaecn to rise and set, just as at sea; and the bluffs, though not lofty, are often of a whito marl, or aand, so soft as to be moulded, at the sport of.

the elements, into fantastic shapes, which are dotted and relieved by cedars and pines. Over these features a prevailing probably, from great beat and rapid a gauze mantle, throws an additional charm; and often, by optical illusion, disposes them in shapes of startling and exquisite beauty. Not far below Fort Laramie we encamped on the river bank, opposite the picturesque white lodges of a band of Sioux. With the easy fearlessness of good faith, they soon crossed over to our camp. They are fine-looking and well-dressed numerous and nomadic tribe, who are formidable enemies.

They despatched lunnera to several other bands, who met us in council at Fort Laramie. Here, too, we passed the foremost of the manv I At Independence ruck, returning, the baggsge wee eent on by the rood (5J mile.) to the Platte; 0 ami, with the expectation of finding good gross, we turned down the Sweetwater, to follow it and the Platte to the eame point. The rood passes through I rugged deeert of aand and salt plaine, and tnoun- I tains appereptly of volcanic origin; hut the pan we I attempted, we knew was utterly impracticable for ii wagons. it I Having seconded a slope for thirteen miles, we Suddenly found ourselves overlooking a river valley Ii of wonderful grandeur and beauty; on the pass, we Alt not near ao high; beneath and before us waa (j 'circular valley, twelve milee wide, and a thousand I feet deep, into which the Platte entered by an un- tl eeen mountain chasm close to our right, and wound si about, as it might, through confused and rocky mountain masses, peaks ana precipices of red ssna- chaos of grand elements, to which the bright colors of the rocks, and a profusion of cedars, gave a noble beauty. It was a labyrinth which the nrer eeemed with difficulty to thread.

We could fe ace it approach with a gentle curve, as if mmiAinns 1 with aonrje amooth and inviting gap, where a hifl if had at iaaat bent rugged head in homage, and ea- fa pricioualy turn short back and ruah into the narrow Oi gpfc and rough embrace of a vertical r.hn?m, through the I I very midst of a lofty mountain. There we could not fbllow; but wound, by buffalo paths, over if among conical of red clay, hi companies of emigrnnie. Like (he Arabs, witli tj families and flocks, they seem qui(e at home, and 1 fearless or careless of any danger, in fact, the In- 1 dians must have viewed their countless numbers with apprehension and gloomy forebodings. Beyond Fort Laramie, a hundred and fifty miles, 1 over the sandy desert bordering the North fork, i brought us into the remarkable valley of us tribu- tary, the through the "Devil's Gate," but a much less lofty gap in a prairie bill; but the river, as usual, seeks the rocky 1 passage. Whether thus placed in the original -world, or whether the chasm is left deeper and clearer by some throe of natuft, or whether the 1 water more readily wears away some vein, as of 1 trap-rock, softer than the hill of stubborn gravel and 1 argil; so it is, the river here passes through a vast I chasm of vertical granite.

1 hit perhaps, happily, on a point of view, a shoulder or rock about one 1 hundred feet high, slmoet overhung by a wall three 1 hundred feet higher; and will now only sdd, that it pleased me more than Harper's Ferry, or Marshall's i Pillar, on New river, in Virginia. The moat singular formation of this valley is a 1 range of mountain masses of gray granite, which skirts die Sweetwater in a great part of its course of about 190 miles; bare of soil or vegetation, nothing relieves them from monumental solemnity but the presence of the chamois; these we saw scale the steep rocks, and, when fired on, skim along the rugged surface with a swiftness that was truly wonI sm of on the level prsirie. This animal rejoices in sev- 1 cral aliases; among which, the most appropriate 1 seems the big-horn, and which it hus bestowed on I tributary of the Yellow Stone. Thus, and in other 1 instances, science has not even named the most markahle objects in our territory. The beautififl Sweetwater, pure as the ice from which it flows 1 over golden (mica) sends, seems carefully to avoid 1 blue range of fir-clad mountains, which bounds its 1 wide valley at the south, and cleaves to the primi' five as throw a grandeur over its foun- 1 tain; indeed, as if in aportiveness, it abandons here and there the inviting bed of the valley, struggles 1 i among the mountains of rock, riots along over their 1 rugged feet, broiling with the rocks which time has 1 sent splashing into its face.

On the alluvial banks of this stream grow many willow bushes, and lich grasses of buffalo grass, white clover, and a pale-blue 1 grass, which grows on Wfta, and abounds through- 1 out the mountain region, (where anything but arte; mesiaa is produced,) is highly esteetntd. Rose-bushes in abtindance, and strawberries, which were in blossom in July; but it is a narrow strip, and like the Platte, gains praises from contrast; for the whole 1 region is of unmitigated sterility; the leaden-hued 1 artemisias, sage, and Frfmontias, reign supreme. Itiaa desert which supports but litue or life; in much of it, the rare Indiun, the antelope, or gaunt buffalo, appear aa weary travellers, who seek where they may oe at rest. One afternoon, at about one hundred miles from the Pass, having ascended a lofty hill which confines the Sweetwater on our right to a mere chaam between it and mountains of granite, suddenly we beheld the goet of our long our lifetime proud summits of our land, which send forth to the east and to the west world-famous rivers, to ennoble and enrich vast regions where freedom and equality establish their irresistible empire. Its majestic outline stood boldly forth among white and rosy clouds, and its lustrous mantle of snow and ice gleamed gloriously in our eyes.

When in camp, the telescope revealed, rising above lofty and distant highlands, dim and phantom-like peaks, which seemed to shadow forth, at ous distance, an unknown world. After ascending quite sensibly for many days, we found ourselves in the great gap in the mountains, serving as a broad and easy avenue to the new West, which looks, as to a neighbor, towards If that Oldest world of all, and our extreme caal? If Asia. We were eeveral daya very near this lofty Wind-river range, which overlooks the Pass from the north, and witnessed, daily, magnificent thunder-etorms. They replenish its fountains with rain and' with snow. The Sweetwater, aa with a 1 mountain tide, daily rnee soon after noon, and fall ft again aa the abadee of night hardened the melting I snows.

In the long days, the twilight ending about 10 o'clock, wa suffered from heal, the reffectiona (I from white aanda and rock; but, at night, we had frequently ice isr our tents. I On the 30th of June, and 1st of July, we drank both of the Atlantic nnil Pnnfir. wiifn Minted with shining crystals of fibrous gypsura. Ifter a march of eleven generally leading the loraea, we found a little prairie bottom on the river, vhere we bivouaclted, robbing a half-dozen buffaoea of their aupper, and truly they might almost lave finished what was left for our poor norses. Jnly 15, we turned our backs on the beautiful Laanue river, and took our course toward the south, Jong the foolofthe Black hills.

We found it 160 miles, iy a circuitous but amooth route, to the South fork of he Platte. This waa a trackless wilderness, where he few small streams (there were unwatered intervals if U6 miles) did not present a sufficiency of grass or the horses. This particular part of our routs, I promised myself much, was the least intersting. About the Chugwater the tream has cut a deep and abrupt valley through the irevailing formation of soft conglomerate rock? oes this lofty table-land of the Piedmont impress a ense of its vast elevation and extent. On that trangelv named stream we found a very interesting and of Their patriarch, with the garruliy of age, and the shadow of an authority which had leacenaed to the active warriors, and even sages of he first and second generations, addressed his two tundred descendants and connexions, and enforced he excellent advice given them by the Colonel; and, vith atill greater emphasis, acknowledged a liberal argess.

Annrnaokinop thai Snnltt Atrlr urn itssuail untlor jo rig's peak, towering above a longrange, all tipped with snow, and caught a view of Pike's peak, 150 nilea to the southeast, and said to be more lofty. IVe crossed near its mouth a beautiful river, four eel deep, called Cache i-la-poudre. (I propose for the name JbapmKo.) We ascended thcSouth fork about 40miles. It is lere a most rapid and clear stream, runningjust at the oot of the Black hills. Here barrenness outdid.itlelf, and was illustrated by many ruins of the radera' sun-dried brick forts; they only inspired is with wonder how man could have attempted to ive here, where even security has tempted but very ew animals to penetrate its solitudes.

Leaving the South fork, we directed our course southeast to i creek. This (as usual 10 near i(s mouth, was as dry as while sand can tecome under a hot sun. We ascended it two days, owards the great mountain dividing the country beween the Platte and the Arkansas. At its head we bund a most lo vely valley. Here first we found green pass on the we found the glorious green Mk, mingled with loAy pinea and firs, through whose leaves the breeze from the pure snows in light whispered ASolian music.

Under these grovct were smooth graceful grass slopes, adornea with uses and picturesque rocks; in the midst was streamlet, purling from its near fountains view were the snow-clad mountains, which were type of seclusion from the world; there, no man beast had made a mark, and the only living voice was the murmuring of doves. How startling tc the presiding nympns, the apparition of a long profession of mounted dissonant the flamor of rude words, and the clang of arms! On the highlands we rode through the only foresi rnoy were large, fine-looking men, and, I imagine could be distinguished by their peraonal appearand from nearly all our physiognomy mon resembling the white race. They said they were war party againat the Pawnees. These Inat stca horses from all the world. All the tribes conse quently treat them as enemies.

But they seem tc meet their losses with stoical indifference, but an forced to keep guards on all the commanding poinu tear their towns. We met a large party of them returning, loaded with buffalo flesh, to their villagei the Platte. Of the true saw tone; and I never have been able to meet in truth, in a hostile way; which was a rathei listant, though very interesting view. These Indians depend upon the buffalo for food -aimeni, and dwellings. In their rapid decay, what to become of them? We marched above three 60 miles above Laramie to a point at ar below Bent's seeing, from the solumn, but three buffalo, on one oocasion.

They hemaelves use lodge, generally retewed every year, consisting 6f about twenty skint com. But the Indian trade the great cause ol heir deetruction. This may, in a measure, correct tself, by a failure of receipts; unless the robes ria? value in a degree somewhat corresponding to heir I should judge, was not the 'asc with the beaver fur, if I was told the truth at fort Laramie: they said that, the beaver becoming 00 scarce to repay the labor, they were not trapped "or a number of years, and that now they were tgairi abundant. The command subsisted about ux weeks upon buffalo; but I am confident I saw lot a fifth so many as 1 did sixteen years ago. From near Laramie, to the Pass, we found ourwives among a species of game unknown to lird called, variously, heathcock, blackcock, and lagehen; they were at first mistaken for turkeys, but hey moat resemble the grouse, like which they are lunied; and their taste is much the same.

By a oversight, we had but very little shot; or more peeimens of these, of hares, ana other small animals, rould have been obtained and preserved. We have few, which I hope will eventually be sent to you. took much pains to bring in two of the birds alive; nit they seemed untamable, refused food, and soon led. Nearly the same may be said of many other antelopes, hares, magpies, Ac. The bataclea of rapid a march ware insuperable.

The are of the great plains is unknown in the States, ut is said to be much like tbe English. It is thought ur swiftest animal; it is an large as a small wolf, weighed one, which exceeded eight pounds. The lack-tailed rabbit is also very large; its ears, six iches long, have a large black spot. The antelope 1 very numerous on the Platte, and is very tame; ie command sometimes subsisted on them for days. is a beautiful animal, and easily tamed.

Their sme is probably a misnomer; they seem to be a fieciea of goal. Elk have nearly disappeared; but it is supposed 1 --1 lunnrr norm. rre iw eery few, and but twice; none were killed. Of black-tailed deer, which are a very marked lecies, eery few were eeen; one waa killed, and ould hare been preserved, but that it was in the sleet. Of the chamois, or ibex, none were killed but a male, and by a detached party.

Hunters were It daily, and Col. Kearney hid kindly ordered that they killed any, it should be brought in uninjured, my purpose of preparing the akin for mounting, ne of our moat interesting sights waa their over rugged and bare granite rocks. We saw an unusual number of grizzly bears; but me but cubs were killed. One was chased by us, and re rely from horseback; but Aral crossing the two thousand than a mile or pint woods. On the southern slopes we found grass ind a soil manifestly superior to that of any districi in the waters of the Platte.

Two hard days' ridt irought us to the Arkansas, about sixty miles abovt Bent's fort, a very strong and military-looking istablishment, where we were most hospitably -eceived. Here we took our last look at Pike'i leak, in view of which we hnd travelled very rapidly for nine days. As at the Wind-river mountains 10, when near this range, and that of Long's peak, we witness, day after day, almost incessant thunler.storms. "Pike's peak" is a mass of naked granite, which has the appearance of a peak only when seen from the east or southeast, it was of snow, save in an immense chasm, which seemed to bisect it on the north, far down from its apex when nearest, however, (uboul ten miles,) we saw i mow all over the top. Near different parts of inse of this mountuin arise three great Arkansas, the Platte, (or Nebraska, its south fork, tod the Colorado, (or Grand river, a Prom the point where we struck the Arkansas, iti course is to the east for 280 miles; there ore rees off the inlands below the "crossing," and tin country is sterile to Walnut creek, (where the buf alo-grasa ends, and the buffalo Prom thii itreain (near which the road leaves Ine ibout 230 miles to the Missouri, there is a fine soi and frequeht streams, generally well fringed will groves.

Returning, we missed meeting Captnin Frfmon near Bent's fort. For some purpose, he had madt detour from the river. Unluckily meeting with no large bodies of thi wild, remote tribes of Indians, We saw small partiei of several that are very interesting. We found above Laramie, a woman and two fine children, eight or ten years, who were perhaps lost, and cer taiuly in a starving condition, having nothing lef but the remains or a dog, which they had at firs packed, and now were eating nearly raw. She wai an Arapnho, and, as such, was spared from the mas sacrc.

She was sent to a depot we ca tabliahed near Fort Laramie, and afterward accom panted us south, until we fell in with a party of hei nation, to which she returned. Singularly enough one of this party, when a child, was discovered bj Mr. Fitzpatrick, lost in a desert, and at the point death, and was saved and brought up by that wor thy gentleman. He was named Friday, and laugh to speak English.

Near Bent's fort, we met a large party of the famous Apache terror of the Mexi have overrun and half ruined the prov ince of New Mexico. Its government, in despair once employed against them a small mercenar) force of Americans, and Delaware and Shawnee In adventurers from these small tribes are our near neighbors at Fort Leavenworth the liver, (the North fork,) it lodk reftige in an impenetrable thicket. 1 have brought in a few of the moat characteriatie and prevailing rocka and formations between thia poat and the South Pass. I found fosailiferoua limestone within forty milea of ila lop; the prevailing hill-formation ia of marla, and a friable aandy conglomerate; the aurface of the whale country beyond the river botloma ia either sand or clay, which are aometimea found together. The road beyond Fort Laramie ia often very hilly; but the Cteat difficulty ia, that the country doea not pro: grtuw in aufficieucy for such large companiea aa thia year passed over it.

The emigranta amounted to about 2,500 aoula. Even on the lower Platte, we had generally a long and doubtful aearch for a camp-ground where there waa graaa enough for our horaea. At the great elevation we rttained beyond Laramie, we felt very aenaibly the dryneaa and rarity of the atmosphere; combined with the heat of the aun reflected from aanda, it often produced dizziness; and all remarked the absence of any sensible perspiration. Meat could be kept fresh almost any length of time; and we saw several buffalo skulls on which the skin an inch thick, and the ears, had been preserved. This dry air and the sand are the causes, it is said, that almost evqyy plant contains turpentine.

We found, however, at different points of the long march, many plants and fruits which have been cultivated? I flax and hemp, the gooseberry, currants, and raspberries. The buffalo grass I first observed about 50 miles below the fork of the Platte thence we found it generally over the whole route to Walnut creek, but nearly all of apeeiea different from that on the Apkaneaa, on which I could find no grain; and for thia we were too had fallen before we reached that river. I have made collection of plants and flowers, new to us, at least. But this rambling tuid hasty letter, written amid a thousand official interruptions, is already too long; and I end it by offering to the institute (and I shall immediately enclose them in a box) the following poor fruits of our rapid and inconvenient excursion: 1. A collection of dried flowers and plants.

2. A collection of minermlogical specimens. 3. A portion of the stem of an artemisia, six inches in diameter. 4.

We do not remember to I have seen a larger meeting in that district for many years past. Trie old and the young joined most heartily in the proceedings, and evinced a strong deI sire to hear and understand what was said by the 5 speakers. The house of Major Buddy, at the corner of 9th and Green streets, was brilliantly ili luminated, and presented a beautiful appearance; and great praise is due to the ladies of his family for the taste displayed in arranging the lights and properly superintending them, i At an early hour the people began to assemble, and at the time of organizing there were thou sands on the ground. Conrad Keller, of the. 2d ward, whs called to the chair, and a number of i vice presidents and secretaries appointed.

Itichard Vaux, was first introduced to the meeting, I who in a plain yet eloquunt manner addressed the i multitude upon the questions involved in the present contest. The recorder was exceedingly hapt py in his illustrations of the opinions, conduct, tens. dencics, and designs of our opponents; he was repeatedly cheered during his speecn, and concluded with an earnest appeal that all would do their duty on the day of the election. Charles Brown, then came forward and comf menced a powerful speech; this gentleman is always listened to with attention, and leaves a favorable imt presaion. John W.

Barnes, was then inr troduced to the meeting, and made an eloquent appeal in favor of the public schools, clearly de monstrating that their permanency depended upon the success of the democratic party. The meeting was closed by a speech front Mr. Rankin. We now desire to allude to a reprehensible pracf lice, which, if it be not checked, will lead to confu sion, if not riot. At the moment of the adjournment, a small party of nativists, that had remained upon the ground for the purpose, raised aery of "Come on, i natives, to the market-house;" and as they left, made use of offensive expressions and sounds, and then raised a so feeble that it was instantly drowned by the democrats, who remained firm and i unflinching, expecting every moment to be attacked.

Later from the seat or th? St. Lou in Organ of the 26th ult. we have the following particulars from this distracted portion of our Union: We received by yesterday's mail two proclams tionsofQov. Fordof dated the 20th, and the other the 21st at Springfield. The governor calls on the militia of Menard, Cass, Scott, Pike, Morgan, and Green, to come to his aid in suppressing the Hancock disturbances.

In hiesec1 ond call, he says: "The news received to-day makes it more than ever necessary to call out the militia. It appears that a battle has been fought, and that 18 anti-Mor' mons and 3 Mormons have been killed, and a nuni' ber of anti-Mormon prisoners taken. The anti' Mormons have fled from the county, and are raising forces in the surrounding counties, with a view i to the renewal of war." 1 The troops, to the number of 500, are required to 1 meet at Beardstown on the 23d (Tuesday) and 1 there place themselves under the command of Gen. man to bring a gun, horse, and blanket, and to look for ammunition, provisions, and tents from the State authorities. 1 A correspondent of the Evening Gazette, under date of the 22d at Springfield, says that a party of the antics recently waited on the governor, 1 soliciting aid to expel the Mormons from Hancock 1 county.

This, of course, the governor refused, 1 whereupon the anties plainly tola his excellency that if he would not aid them in this matter, they would even bo compelled to do it themselves. This greatly incensed Gov. Ford, who told the deputation that if thev dared to violate the law by further riotous proceeaings, he would order them out on the public square and have them shot. This correspondent uoubta much whether the proclamation of the governor will have the effect to raise the force diaired.

We are indebted to the Boaton and New York for the varioua which we have extracted from their ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA.

Fifteen days later from England. The Bteamer Cambria, Captain Judktna, was telegraphed at Boston, 45 from port, at half-past 2 o'clock on the 2d. She arrived at East Boston at half-past 5, having made the passage in 13 duys. She has brought 83 passengers. We have received by her our regular files of London papers to September 18, and the European Times of the 19th.

The state of Europe tranouil, and thefe no political of an important character. The apprehension of scarcity was removed in England, and in France, by a succession of fine weather for two or three weeks, although the crop did not promise to be so abundant as that of last year. The po tato disease had prevailed to an alarming degree in some parts of England, and also in Belgium, France, and other parts of Europe. We do not, however, infer that us prevalence has been bo extensive as to give reason to appreheml any general scarcity of supply of that important article of food. The cotton market had sustained the improvement which was reported by the last steamer, and during the last week the sales had been active and to a lurge amount.

The weather, until the last few days, had been during the preceding fortnight remarkubly fine, and the harvest had been gathered under favorable circumstances. The crop, however, was not likely to be a very abundant one. There was, therefore, a slight advance in the prices of grain. The general average of prices of wheat, returned for the regulation of the duty, for the six weeks ending September 6, was 55s. lOd.

The average of the last week corresponded exactly with the average of the six. The rate of duty was 17s. per quarter. Queen Victoria had returned from her visit to Germany, and gone to Osborne House, in the Isle of Wight, where she arrived on the 10th. She left Gotha on the 3d, and, returning by way of the Rhine and the Belgium railroad, had a splendid reception at Antwerp on the 6th.

Having accepted a pressing invitation from the King of the French to uiait 1 ism a f'kalami i (Via I 1 noon ullil Imr A1111A proceeded from Antwerp in the royal steamer Victoria and Albert, to the little harbor of Treport, where she landed. The following account is given of her landing and reception at that place "From the low state of the tide when her Majesty approached the French shore, it was found that the small steamer which had formerly carried the Queen -from the royal yacht to the shore, could not now be employed. The only way in which Louis Philippe could get on board the royal yacht was by getting into a bathing-machine, by which he was carried so fur out to Bea, that he was able to get on board his own barge, and thence on board the royal yacht; and it so happened that the Queen would be obliged to remain for some hours on board, or take the same rather undignified manner of reaching the shore. The Queen of England. however, thought the might adopt the mode of getting on shore; that brought the King of the French on board; and thus it happened that Queen Victoria and King Louis Philippe go: on shore together in a bathing machine.

The Queen was handed into the barge by the King, and followed by Prince AJbcrt, the Prince of Joinville, Prince Augustus of Saxe Cobourg, and M. Quizot. In the same order the party entered the bathing-machine, which was decorated with a tricolored Dug for the nonce, and speedily dragged by a horse to terra firma. In the meantime a royal salute was tired from all the steamers in the offing, and from the battery. The whole party got into charabancs, the Queen eitting next to Louis Philippe, and Prince Albert next to the Queen of the French, and proceeded to the Chateau d'Eu, amidst the cordial if not very boisterous applause of the assembled crowds.

After a dejtune, Louis Philippe took the opportunity of introducing the Queen to the new Victoria splendid gallery intended to commemorate her Majesty's first visit to the Chaleuu d'Eu. In the afternoon the royal party drove into the forest, and in the evening there was a splendid dinner at the chateau, which was attended by all the civil and military authorities of the place, as well us by the guests resident at the chateau." The Queen and royal party remained at Eu a little more than a day, and at 6 o'clock on the afternoon of the 9th they again embarked for England. Having arrived in the harbor of Portsmouth, they landed at about noon on the following day, and proceeded to Osborne House, after an absence from the kingdom of about 40 days. The Queen held a privy council at Osborne House, Isle, of Wight, Stptcmber, 13, at which Frince Albert, LoruWIiarnclilTe, the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, and other members attended. Parliament Was ordered 10 be ftirther prorogued to November 27.

Most of the members of the privy council proceeded toGosport by a special train on the Southwestern ruilway, and thence in a steamer, and returned to London by the same route on the same day.

The Duke and Duchess de Nemours and the Duke d'Aumale, entered Spain on the 3d, accompanied by Count Bressau, the French ambassador, and several officers, and were received by the Duke de San Carlos, in the name oI the Queen. They slept that night at Tolosa, and arrived at Painpeluna, where they met Queen Isabella, on the following day. I'ha London Chronicle of September 18 says: "The Parts papers of Tuesday are before us.

It is curious to notice the various surmises and speculations which our sovereign's visit to Eu have given rise that there is anything new in what is advanced by our contemporaries, (for the Morning Advertiser adverted, a fortnight ago, to the alliances in contemplation for Spain,) but simply because our neighbors seem to be so divided in their views on that subject. "We arc decidedly of opinion that a marriage between the Duke de Montpensier and the Infanta Luisa of Spa'n is a project fatal to the interests of England, and to which our cabinet can never assent; for it has been more than once announced that the medical men have declared that Queen Isabella would never have any offspring, and this fact was officially communicated to Philippe by Seflor Donos'i Cortes and the Duke de Rianzaros during their stay in the French capital, it is aince that period that every means has been exerted to procure the consummation of so desirable an alliance for Frnnce and if accounts are to be relied upon, even the Jesuits are to Ire employed in aiding in carrying into effect such a project. We find in a letter from Rome the following significant passage: It is well known that the same influence which was instrumental in obtaining the expulsion of the Jesuits from France has co-opernted as to their establishing themselves in Spain, in the hope and with the sole view that they may assist in furthering the plan of marrying the Duke de Montpensier to the Infanth Luisa ofSpain." The King of Sweden, and Prince Gustnvus, one of his sons, arrived at Christiana on the 3d and was received there with great enthusiasm by the whole population. The Pastor Ronge arrived at Rree- lau on the 8th on his way to Brieg, to preacl). lie was arrested by the police; but, after a short de- tention, was permitted to continue his journey.

Brussels, Sept. royal decree has just ap- peared in the Moniteur, sanctioning the formation of A letter from Constantinople, published in the Tunes, and dated August brings intelligence of another battle between the Russians, under General Worenzoff, ajjd some Poles, who, under Schamil, were in the Circassian service. The former attached the latter at the stronghold of Dargo, and the conflict is dcaerilied as having been most desperate-slid prolonged. About 30,000 Russian troops were in action, opposed to sbout half that number of entrenched Circassians. The Russian general lost about 0,000 men, with four uides-de-camp and fortv officers, in the various assaults.

Schamil at length evacuated the stronghold of Dargo. It ia added, that he succeeded in cutting bis way through the Russian itrmv, and in carrying off his guns and ammunition. After this, he took up a fresh position on the outskirts of the Russian army, and tne Russian general saw fit to withdraw his troops from the mountains and retire upon Tifiis. It ia said that he intends, after making a new disposition of his forces, to advance again into the mountains, and recommence operations. Rut it was also xpmored that the campaign for the season had come to a close.

One paper mentions a rumor that the British government has determined to increase the naval and military force in Canada and the other British North American colonies. CfConnell is still at Derrynane, sending letters to the Repeal Association. He is soon to leave his residence to attend "monster meetings" ubout to be held in Kerry, Mayo, and Tipperary. His efforts to procure a reconciliation and union between the repealers and orangemen have been signally unsuccessful. His son, John O'Connell, is still active and prominent among the repealers.

The crops, it is conceded, will be very good, notwithstanding the beautiful weather which prevailed when (he I tun steamer arrived, had been succeeded by abundant rains. The grain, however, is generally of an inferior quality, and prices have raised considerably in consequence of this and the failure of the potato crop. The crops in Northern Europe and on the Vistula and Elbe, have been almost destroyed by immense floods. Railway speculation continues unabated. The aggregate amount which has been of late invested in enterprise of this sort within the kingdom is stated at In the produce market a healthy feeling is manifest.

West India sugars have risen a shilling per though foreign sugars have declined. The American provision market has been dull. The cotton market is healthy and vigorous. The steamer Unicorn, from Halifax, hns gone to Liverpool for new boilers. Her sudden and unexpected appearance created a great deal of excitement and temporary speculation.

It is said to be the intention of the government not to renew the property tax at the end of the three years for which it was imposed. The Pacific Steam Navigation Company has contracted with government for the conveyance of mails between Valparaiso and Panama. From Panuma they will cross the isthmus to Chagres, and thence roach England by the West India mail steamer. It is stated that orders have been sent out from Great Britain, within the last two months, to the amount of three millions sterling, for the importation of foreign grain, under the expectation that it will he required before the harvest of 1846.

The greatest sctivity is said to prevail in all departments of the British admiralty. FRANCE. The Paris papers have been quite fully occupied with comments on the condition and prospects of this country. They seem to agree that the rapid advancement of our commerce and general industry is very extraordinary, and that it will in the end work the overthrow of the overshadowing power of Great Britain. Marshal Bugenud has arrived in France, and was on a visit to Marshal Soult, whose office it it rumored lie is ambitious of obtaining.

The Times of the 18th complains very urgently of the neglect of the British minister, Mr. Ousely, to take an active part in the of the river Plnte. It insists that the interruption of British trade with the Argentine republic is a complete casus belli, and says that the re-opening of the port of Montevideo, ana the temporary occupation of the island of Martin Garcia, might be attended with immediate commercial advantages. The British forces are taking steps to do this; but the Times hints that still more extreme measures will be demanded by the exigency of the occasion.

The advance which we anticipated has taken place during the present week, several of the largest houses in South Staffordshire having issued circulars on the 11th quoting the prices of bars at and pigs in arfvancc of tne former prices. Under these rates no further orders will be executed by the leuding Arms. The effect of this rise will be injurious to the manufacturers of heavy goods, whose trade suffered severely during the rapid advance about nine months ago, and was but just recovering the shock it then received. There is every probability, however, that the present rates will be. maintained, as the demand for rails for the new companies is very great, and likely to continue so for some time.

One of the most interesting pieces of intelligence i ly this arrival, is that relative to the Mexican let- era of marque.

State or trade in the manufacturing our last report under this head, matters in the various manufacturing districts have proceeded satisfactorily. The favorable prospectB of the harvest have given an inqietus to the various buyers who frequent the cloth halls of Leeds, Huddcrsficld, Ac.

Prices are rather on the rise. Stocks at both Leeds aod Hudderafield are low. The market at Bradford is in a flourishing condition. For all worsted fabrics there is a good demand, Merinoes find a ready sale at firmly supported prices; there is also a good demand for yarns. In the Rochdale flannel market there is much animation; a brisk demund is experienced for pieces; and prices, although not changed, have been very steadily maintained.

At Bolton, every branch of industry is brisk. Counterpanes meet a ready sale, whilst yama are much inquired after. Both the bleachers and printers in the locality of Bolton are very busy. In Manchester, the market, influenced by the fine weather, has been well attended, and a good amount of business transacted. I'rices seem (imposed to advance, especially on 90'a water-twist yarn.

Taking all these circumstances into consideration, we should say that, generally speaking, the trade and manufactures of England are in a healthy condition, and, from present appearances, seem likely to continue for some time to come.

But a few weeks hav elapsed, since a Baltimore newspaper announced th sale of a ship to a merchant of Bremen, to be sailei and manned by Hansealic mariners; and so it wi! be with all our merchant ships engaged in the car rying trade, if the suicidal policy of whig legislator lie continued. Instead of levying a heavy duty 01 chain cables, copper bolts, cordsge, sailcloth, am every other article entering into the construction a ship, all are free in Bremen; and in England, th average duty is not one-fourth thul of the Unitei States. The wonder is, that the citizens tHiiumoie, mm oiner iiiiiimr ports on our senooaru should tiius long have submitted to have their en ternrise paralyzed. Vour correspondent "Observer" tells his tale will great truthfulness; he should, however, have en lightened your readers with some particulars as the mode of fuvoring particular interests by the com mittee who reported the tariff bill of 1642.

Thus th special clause levying ten and a half cents on beaver article made by only one manufacturer ii the 'Union) twenty cents the pound on pins, (o nearly the entire cost in England,) to favor manufacturing establishments. But what excuse wai there for taxing black crapes and black cles worn by all classes who wish to show deceit respect to the memory of a deceased per cent on the former, and forty per cent, on latter? This la on goods of medium grade; but when the fabric is costly, the rich consumer escapes will half the tax. The truth is, the tariff of 1842 has benefited the capitalist and his immediate protege's. Wage in factories are lower than in 1841.

Ma. Editor: I find the following quotation, in i small work of some value, much used in our schools entitled "Outlines of the History of England, fo families and schools: publiahed under the tlirectiot of the committee of general literature and education appointed by the Society for Promoting Christiai Knowledge, London." It is republished in Phila drlphia, by Thomas Cowperthwail and Ca rey A Hart. It is recommended by the Rev. Jame Py croft, of Trinity College, Oxford: Thestater of BarbnSy, particularly Algiers, had of lati proceeded such lengths in the custom, which they had heel allowed lo follow lor ages, of plundeting the vessels of tb Christian nations, and carrying their prisouers into slavery that Britain determined lo put an end to the practice Lor Kxmouth, who had been rent ith a squadron lo Algleri at first endeavored to gain the object by negotiation; bu having failed in the attempt, he pieceedrd to enforce com pliance with the demands of the British. The Dey detei mined to resist; and on the Tith of August, 1816, a trvmrr dous battle took plaoe.

The Alrerine batteries were de strayed; their navy, arsenal, and half the city, were burnt and 7,000 men were killed or wounded. ord K.xmouth los 000 men. The result of this glorious achievement was liberation of a great number ol captives, and the total she lition of Christian levery." American youth should lie (aught the truth upoi this, as upon all other in everj case which concerns (he honor and history of ihei own country. Great Britain and France coultl, at any time, put an end to Christian slavery among the Barber; powers; and, particularly, could have abolish ed the sovmeni of tribuir nrior to 1B1A iiniverw.il. made by all commercial trading: in the MeJ itcrrnnran, had they deaired so to do.

But did not do it; on the contrary, they participated ii it. The public press and Anierirnn statesmen havi charged these powers, particularly Great Britain with permuting the exaction of that tribute, that i might act injuriously weak rivals in commerce and aid in excluding them from the Mediterranean The United States, with others, submitted to tribute in the form of presents When the war of 1812 between the United Statu and Great Britain took place, the Barbary States believing the gasconading boasts of the Britisl press, that our marine, both national and private would be swept from the ocean, determined to par ticipate with England in the spoils, arid captured several of our merchantmen, and consigned then crews to slavery. Several prizes taken by our privateers, and sent into their ports, were surrenderee up to British cruisers. Immediately after the peace lietween this country nnd England, Commodore Decatur was sent to th' Mediterranean with a squadron, to demand satisfaction for these injuries. Before the Algerincs were aware of his pretence, he fell in with one of theii 44-gun frigates, which he captured in twenty-five minutes; the Algerine admiral, Rata ilnmnuda, and a large number of his crew, having fallen in the aotion.

He also captured a 22-gun urig a few dayt afterwards. He then tailed to Algiers, in order to intercepl the remainder of the enemy's squadron when reluming into port. But terms were proposed by the Dey of Algiers. Com. Decatur declared to him what were ihe terms upon which alone he would cease hostilities, and make a treaty.

They were complied with in full; and the treaty was signed on the deck of the Guerritrt, which was his flag-ship. Those terms were, that the Dey should pay ample damages for the injuries done our citizens, on i. tween ths contracting partiea, that no tnbun, ns biennial presents, or under any other foJ1 name wUhievci, aball ever required and regency of Algiers, from the United SutZ! America, on any pretext whatever." 1 The promulgation of this treaty following a I' exploits of Commodore Decatur in cjpiuniw two veaaela, aitfl blockading the harbor of alJ produced great aenaation in Europe, lowed by two treaties with Tunis and precisely similar character. The applauar was lieatowed on the United States for bring 6 notion which had forced those piratical atatei! lt yield up their atrocious barbarities, and loaJ demands for tribute, was loud and general, was accompanied with no less loud andgeiierali proach upon Great Britain and France, for ii.n, rr reliction of duly in the same cause. The treaty made by Commodore Decatur aa Algiers, was signed on the 30th June, 1815, 1- with Tunis, in July, 1815; and that wnh Top, in August, 1815!
