These papers were brought to us by the news-boat Thomas II. Smith, belonging to the Association, and were received from the packet ship Europe, Captain Maxwell, which vessel sailed from Liverpool on Sunday, the 17lh of November, and was boarded off the Coast forty . miles from Sandy Hook. ENGLAND. There is no political news worth noticing. The Duke of Devonshire has twice tendered his resignation to Lord Chamberlain of the King's Household, but it has been declined. His Grace is absent on the continent travelling for his health. Captain Ross. A theatrical representation, entitled "Captain Ross, or the King of the Arctic Regions," was recently brought out in the Roval Pavilion Theatre, White Chapel Road. The gallant Captain attended incog but his presence becomingknown by accident, the theatre was soon crowded to excess. He remained during the exhibition, and when it closed, drove oil' in his carriage, amidst the cheers of an immense crowd which had assembled in front of the building. At a late meeting of the Geographical Society in Regent street, the intrepid Captain Ross attended for the purpose of receiving the royal medal of fifty guineas, which bad-been voted to him for his scientific and geographical discoveries in the Arctic regions. The meeting was numerously attended. Captain Ross has named a Lake which he discovered during his late voyage to the northern re gions, "Lake Landon," in compliment to the fair poetess. There has been a continual full in the price of wheat ever since the commencement of the late harvest. Kean died intestate, and although it is ascertained that he had received, during the nineteen years that he was an actor, the sura of 150,000, or nearly 750,000; yet he died so poor, that his widow has not deemed it advisable to take out letters of administration upon his estate. Mr. Heber's representatives are sanguine of ob taining from 50,000 to 30,000, by the sale of Ins immense literary treasures. The death of the Rev. Woolf Gollin,one of the Jewish Beth Din, is announced. He was highly eminent for his great biblical learning and knowledge of the Hebrew language. The funeral was most numerously and respectably attended. The renerable Doctor Herschell delivered a suitable discourse on the occasion, in praiso of the great virtues and talents of the departed. Lord Francis Egerton, has dropped the surname of Lcvenson Gowcr, in compliance with the will ofScroope, last Dukeof Bridgewater, and assumed that of Egerton only. His Lordship returns to England to take possession of the vast canal pro perty bequeathed to him by the late Duke of Bridgewater, and which is estimated to exceed 100,000 per annum. IRELAND. The intelligence from this country bears too much its ordinary impress. Burnings and murders beatings, robberies, and maiming, continue to prevail. The potato crop, too, especially in the southern part of the Island, has fallen vastly short of its usual rate of production. "Such a circumstance," says the Tipperary Free Press, "one which is almost uniformly followed by sequels the most distressing to a population who rely on the potato as their principal esculent and chief support, must, at the present juncture, bring with it many disagreeable sensations to the great majority of the Irish people. The failure to which we allude is not isolated it is not confined to one county or two; if such were the case, so many unpleasant anxieties could not arise but if we argue from the paragraphs put forth in many of our provincial contemporaries, this blight has been experienced very generally.'" The gross amount of the O'Connell tribute last year was 12,533. It is again in contemplation to construct a railroad between Limerick and Wraterford. FRANCE. The vintage of the present year is said to be much better and more abundant than the last, but still to fall short of an ordinary product by about ono fourth. A letter from Boulogne-sur-Mer states that the temperature is so unusually mild that the apple and pear trees, and cystuses are actually in blossom. A pear tree in one of the gardens of the Petit Camp is as thickly covered as at the close of the month of April. The Moniteur contains a Royal Ordinance, convoking the French Chambers on Monday, the 23d of December. The long existing differences between Marshal Soult and M. Hurnann, Minister of Finance, were daily assuming a more serious aspect. SPAIN. The papers received by this arrival give us additional reason to believe that the cause of the Queen Regent, of Spain, in support of her daughter's title to the throne, will be sustained by '.e French government. It is reported that the Queens mother has been compelled to leave Madrid, but there is no confirmation of the news. It has been also said that the French Army of observation had crossed the Spanish frontier for her relief. This, however, was also a matter of doubt; for it does not appear that her case was desperate. The recent movoments of Gen. Sarsfield were unknown, but he had not been beaten; nor had he gone over to the Carlists. El Pastor and General Castagnon had received a check, and the Carlist force to which they were opposed, amounted to 12,000 ;men; but St. Sebastian had not surrendered. The country, at various places, is up in arms, but Madrid is tranquil. Merino, the curate, is eaid to occupy the whole road from tho capital to Bayonne, but couriers pass without much interrup

tion. The' Carlists are entering Spain from France, but the Constitutionalists were also returning home. On the whole, however, the aspect of affairs, on the part of the Queen Regent, is by no means fl ittering, unless they obtain early and effectual succor from foreign powers. One of the French accounts states, that Don Carlos has entered Biscay, and adds he has understood the necessity of giving a leader to his partizans; the example of Don Miguel losing his kingdom by proxy has determined him on trying his fortune in prison. The rebellion will henceforth have a centre and a common direction. The London Morning Herald gives the following summary of the present condition of affairs in Spain, which, for the most part, we deem to be correctly delineated: "The civil war in Spain assumes every day a sterner aspect, and the calculations of its ultimate issue are now a matter of greater uncertainty than ever. 1 hat the balance has turned to the other side of the insurgents is confessed upon all hands; their still increasing successes, though small and partial, yet progressive, contrasts strongly with the means of repression prepared by the Queen's Government, which appoar to be feeble, merit, and, in some degree, already paralyzed by the greatness of the obstacles opposed to them. The intelligence from the Peninsula, contained in the Paris papers ofMonday, does not in any respect niter the unfavorable aspect under which these affairs in the North were presented by their predecessors of some days preceding. As regards the Generals Sarsfield and Wall, upon whom every thing depends, nothing further is said in the Ministerial papers, but it is to be inferred, from.thc allusions to them in those of the liberal party, that their situation is very awkward, if not in some respect, desperate. The Curate Merino is in possession of all the country between Madrid and Bayonne certainly the whole of the eastern road whilst Sarsfield is supposed to be insulted at Burgos, of which place, also, his tenure is becoming More critical every day, in consequence of the spirit of disaffection which is daily upon the increase in the town and its neighborhood. The supposition that he was waiting the time given to the Carlists at Victoria to surrender is weakened, when it is known that the truce had already expired by some days, and that, if he were not himself beseiged, ho ought to have already commenced aggressive operaiions. The insurgents were using every effort to concentrate their forces upon Miranda, where the great stand was to be made against the Queen's troops It is affirmed that Don Carlos had been proclaimed in the town of Ocagna, and even at Aranjnhz. On the other hand, the liberals are arming in several places. Morillo, Captain, General of Gallica, has re-established the ancient militia, known by the name of milicies honradec. It is, under another name, the" same thing as the Christines Volunteers of Catalinia. The other provinces of Spain, and particularly Arragon and Costile, where a movement was most expected, are perfectly quiet. Some disturbances had taken place in Galicia,but they were speedily repressed, and Morillo answers for the tranquility of that province. Reports were again renewed of the French Government have determined upon sending an army of 30,000 men to the assistance of the Queen; and it was added, that the project, having been communicated to the Ministers of the other great Powers at Paris, had obtained their concurrence, with the exception of that of Russia. The reason assigned for the step is the danger to be apprehended to France from a prolonged civil war in Spain. The whole, however, is very apocryphal; and of the same stamp would seem to be the rumors from Madrid of serious divisions in the Queen's Cabinet, even extending to threats of impeachment being thrown out by the liberal portion of it against their colleagues M. M.Zea and Cruz. The capital and the country south of it, by all accounts, remains tranquil. PORTUGAL. Our advices by these papers are no later from Lisbon than November 2d, inclusive. The same running high in the Portuguese capital. It was believed that affairs would proceed with more domestic harmony, if foreigners, both ashore and afloat would cease their officious intermeddling. Recruits from England, and also from Belgium, were frequently arriving, and were sent off to the army, in line spirits, at Sintarcm. Orders have been received from England, however, directing the agents of Pedro to enlist no more recruits. We presume, therefore, that the contest is considered in effect to have been decided. HOLLAND. Dutch papers are to Nov 17. It is stated in one of them, and with an air of authority, that the mission of Prince Schwartzenberg to the King, whatever its special objects might have been, had met, at the hands of his Majesty, with entire success. The Prince himself had just left the Hague upon his return to Berlin, bearing with him a snuff-box set with brilliants, and other marks of the favor and approbation of the King. Of the exact nature of the Envoy's propsition as regards the Belgian dispute we are uninformed; but their tenor is understood to be very moderate and conciliatory. There is yet, however, no palpable manifestation in their Dutch councils of a better disposition to accommodate than has yet appeared. The Journal of the Hague says, there is no truth whatever in the absurd reports spread by a French Journal of part of Luxemburg with the Prussian province of the lower Rhine. It denies that any arrangement has been made, and affirms that Germany will not abandon any of its rights over the whole of Luxemburg. BELGIUM. The King has returned to his capital from Paris, and oppened his Chambers with a speech. He is silent as to the commercial state and prospects of his Kingdom wisely so, it is said, because every thing is gloomy. The public credit of the country was to be strengthened by the investment of a large balance belonging to the King of Holland, which remained in the hands of the public treasur-

j er in the Belgian fund. The speech dwells much

upon the advantage derived to the country from the extension of rai!-ro3ds, and concludes with pledge from the King, that he will watch unceas ingly over the interests of the country in its foreign relations. There is not, throughout the whole address, a single sentence to favor a presumption that the squbblo with Holland is approximating to a conclusion. KVS3IA. A letter from Paultawa, in the Ukraine, presents a deplorable picture of the extremity to which the population of that part of Russia is reduced by the total failure of the crops. Tho inhabitants have given themselves up to despair, being obliged to feed upon roots. Corn, which is so scarce, that it may be said there is none at all, has risen to an excessive price, it being more than fifteen times its ordinary value. Still later ad vices from St. Petersburg!!, reaching to the 1st of November, show that the famine spoken of in a preceding paragraph, is by no means confined to the province of Ukraine. Rus ia is suffering, at the present moment, to a dreadful extent, from the total failure ofthe harvest in many parts of the empire. We form some conception ofthe extent of the consequent scarcity from some of the Imperial ordinances contained in tho last Petersburg!! papers, which reach to the 11th (10th) of October. By a resolution of the Ministcial Committee every kind of corn is allowed to be conveyed free of duty, and even in foreign vessels, from one Russian port to another, and this permission is to remain in force, not only for the present, but even for the whole ensuing year. Accounts trom Archangel of October 9, says tnat the number ot ships that hau arrived since tho opening ofthe navigation, wastioo; 033 had sailed up to October 27 ; 1,227 ships had arrived at Constandt; and 1,015 sailed. REMOVAL OF THE DEPOSITE3. The resoluiion of Mr. Polk, to reconsider the vote by which the report of tho Secretary ofthe Treasury upon the removal of tho deposites was referred to the committee of the whole, coming up, the discussion was continued Messrs. Clayton, Denny, McDuflie, Foot, Jones and Dav-?, opposing a reconsideration ; and Messrs. Vanderpool, Sutherland, Peyton, and Lane, supporting the resolution. The following are the remarks of Mr. Lane: Mr. Lane said, that so far as he had been able to gather the intention of gentlemen, all were agreed in desiring as cpeedy a conclusion as could be arrived at: and so far as his own vote was concerned; it should be on that side which he considered best calculated to reach that end. He was willing to put tho question as to tho proper disposition of this Report of the Secretary, on a single proposition advanced by the gentleman from South Carolina, (Mr. McDufue.) That gentleman said tho paper must go to the Committee, of tho Whole, in order that tho great and obvious principles involved might there be settled. Now, he had supposed that the great and obvious principles of truth were always known, and always settled: that they were firm and settled as the course of time: and that great principles were only useful in their practical application to things. He had now for the firsttimc, learned what was the real object of that gentleman: it is to discuss the Report of the Secretary of the Treasury, together with the weekly Reports of the Bank; and the gentleman had had the candor to tell the House that those weekly Reports do contradict the averment ofthe Secretary. So that it appeared an issue was to be made up between the statements of the Secretary, and the statements of the Bank Reports. Now, how was this issue to be settled? By first discussing great and obvious principles inCommittco ofthe Whole? No. By sending both together with tho Reports of the Directors of the Bank to the Committee of Ways and Means. Let the Committee settle the issue; and let them bring back, as speedily as possible, their Report into the House. When once the facts were settled, what was the object of discussion? To ascertain the truth. Was the Secretary right, or were the Directors right? When this was the question brought before the Committee of the Whole on the state of tho Union, how simple and how obvious would be the inquiry which would occunv its attention! It was easy to apply great principles they were as simple as light. Inasmuch as the saving of time was the great object on all hands, let the paper go to the Committee of Ways and Means; let it be accompanied, if gentleman pleased, with instructions; and let the investigation, the decision, and the report, follow each other in quick succession. The House had been told that a great state of alarm existed in the country, and that a further continuance of the 'present state of uncertainty was much more to be apprehended than any result of the question. Since this had been stated, and facts had been referred to in support of it, he would inquire of gentlemen (he did it with great reluctance and should not, had not the statements made compelled him to such a course) who had spread this alarm ? Who had proclaimed it abroad ? The Secretary had declared in his Report that all was well: here was the voice of peace: did the gentleman learn it from the venerable man who filled the Executive Chair? No. Did he hear it from gentlemen on that floor who were the avowed friends of the Administration? No. The alarm came from a different quarter entirely. The cry of 'fire!' came from the opposite side of the House. No doubt the cry of 'fire ! was raised in all sincerity, but it came not from those who acted with him. Mr. L. concluded by expressing his hope that the paper would go to the Committee of Ways and Means that they would report without delay, and that all would act upon the subject without reference to local or to party feelings, and like members of one common family,

While we are disposed to allow indulgence to our political ononents, and sutler them to avail themselves of every ''buttress and coin of vantage" that honorable men could desire, yet they cannot hope to pass unnoticed when they resort to the most unjustifiable means to uphold their golden divinity, by making sacrifices, or lather attempting to make sacrifices, of citizens engaged in mercantile pursuits. A portion of the New York press has within a few days, teemed with paragraphs of tho latterdescriplion, asserting absolute falshoods in regard to certain individuals in this city. We may designate tho New York Star, and the Courier and Enquirer, both of which prints say that one of the Government Directors residing in Philadelphia has failed in business, and chargo this result upon tho measures of the executive towards the United States Bunk the assertion is altogether unfounded, and from what wo ku ow ofthe gentleman alluded to, and of his standing in business, there is no likelihood tint, were all tho Banks in tiio State combined for tho purpose, his credit could be shaken, much as tho partisans of tho U. Slates B ink might desiro it. He is independent of Banks and Bank influence, and can laugh at all the devices of Bank cmisjiries to trip up his heels. Tho same may be said of the other Government Directors. Tho proper amend is expected from theso New York papers. They have warred upon the private standing of individuals in a way that in many instances would have proved fital to their prosperity. It is due to the public that the wire-workers in this matter should be given up, and exposed to the scorn which is so justly their due. Pennsylvania!. A bill is before tho legislature of South Carolina for re-cognizing the military establishment of tho State. One of the clauses vacates immediately all tho commissions of general officers, throughout the State, and gives the legislature the power of electing those otlicers. The dejign of this movementis alledged to be to exclude all ofthe "union" party from command, and putting tho entire militia of the State under "States Rights" or "nullifying" officers. The bill meets with considerable opposition from somo of tho members of the dominant party themselves." Baltimore American. Important and cheering intelligence. By the arrival last eveningof the schooner Halcyon, C ipf. Vigne, in seven days from Tampico we are favored with the gratifying intelligence that peace has been restored to Mexico. The regular troops are stated to have been disbanded. Business appears reviving from its late dormant and depressed stale and a permanent confidence was seemingly established. Tills cheering stato of things, we hope will continue. Intestine feuds and local distractions have ever been the bane of that fruitful country. Peace will reanimate her drooping commerce, and give her a claim to eminence. iVeu Orleans Argus. If a single honest and candid mind has entertained doubts as to the expediency and propriety ofthe removal of the deposites, such doubts can scarcely remain after a perusal ofthe report of the Secretary ofthe Treasury, which we have tiie gratification to lay before our readers this morning. This is one of the most lucid and conclusive documents which has ever emanated from a department. It is characterized by great ability and perspicuity, and by an array of facts that will carry conviction, we venture to predict, whenever it is read. Albany Argus. STRANGE STORIES. ilTruth is stronger than Fiction." It has always been believed that death by heheadinc! is attended with less actual pain than almost any other mode of death, and this kind of punishment has consequently been adopted m some countries, as being more merciful than hanging. But according to a Memoir recently presented to the Academy of Sciences on this subject, it would seem that great physical suffering attends tho act of decapitation. Itis not certainly known that such is the case, as no one has yet been able to describe the peculiar sensations which attend tho separation of the head from the body but certain well authenticated facts are adduced, which go far to show that guillotining is an operation rather painful, than otherwise. It is said that a professor of Physiology at Genoa, who has made this interesting subject his particular study, states, that "having exposed two heads a quarter of an hour after decollation, to a strong light, the eye-lids closed suddenly. The tonguo which protruded from the lips being pricked with a needle was drawn back into the mouth, and the countenance expressed sudden pain.

We call attention to this document of tho President as ono on tho subject ofthe most importance to tho people of any that will occupy the attention of Congress this session. It is a document which, in our opinion, will ho a lasting record of ono of tho, brightest acts of (ien. Jackson's brilliant career. Mr. Benton has introdubed, in the Senate, in opposition to Mr. Clay's Bill, and in accordance with the President's recommendation, a Bill gradually to lower the price ofthe Public Lands to twenty five cents an acre.

It is very plain that the opposition, whether Nationals or Nullifiers, intend by every effort to wago an implacable warfare in the Senate against tho administration.
