A considerable advance, and increased demand, had taken place, in the Cotton market—sales for the last week averaging 6000 bales per day. A general inprovement had taken place in the state of trade. Money continued abundant and easy.

The reports of the state of trade in the manufacturing districts are, it is said, gratifying. The news respecting the crop of Cotton in this country, carried out by the Acadia, had given great animation to the cotton market.

Parliament was prorogued by Queen Victoria in person, Aug. 24th. All the foreign Ministers were in attendance.

Some of the Whig papers report that the Queen was opposed to going in person to the House, but that she was prevailed upon to accede to the wishes of her ministers, in order to show her confidence in them. Wilmer and Smith's European Times, remarking upon this occurrence, says: "The speech itself says little which is not common placed, except the portion which relates to Ireland. In reading that portion of the document, her Majesty, it is said, raised her voice, and emphasized a good deal. The terms of the speech as applied to that section of the empire are rather strong, but if O'Connell is to be credited, her Majesty substituted "deep concern" for "indignation" in the original draft, when speaking of the Repeal agitation. The great agitator would seem to have friends—not to says spies—in high places. He was the first to announce that the Queen censured her prime minister, and dismissed him without an invitation to dinner because he introduced her name without her authority, in his first speech in the House of Commons, when he declared his intention of putting down the agitation by force.— II« was the first, also, to announce that the ministry had abandoned their iutention of coercing Ireland. These secrets ooze out, probably, through some of the ladies in waiting about the Court, for the daughters of Eve have a prescriptive right for allowing their tongues to outstrip their judgement.

The proprietors of the Cunard line of steamers have contracted with the builders of the Hibernia, at Glasgow, for a new vessel to take the place of the Columbia.

The new Government of Spain is, perhaps, as firm as could be expected, but disturbances still continue in different sections of the country.

Southampton is finally fixed upon as the starting point of the steamers carrying West India and South American mails.

The Duke of Wellington has greatly displeased the Irish Orangemen, by refusing to either present their petition, or support their prayer, for the repeal of the Catholic Emancipation Bill.

A letter from the Meux states that the four mills of the Pont de l'Echelle, ol that town were lately destroyed by fire. The loss is estimated at 730,000f, of which only part insured.

CALEDONIA

18 DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND. PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT—VISIT OF QUEEN VICTORIA TO

FRANCE-REPEAL IN IRELAND— FATHER MATTHEW. The Royal Mail Steamer Caledonia, E.G. Lott, arrived at Boston on Wednesday at 6 1/4 o'clock. She left Liverpool on the 5th instant, at 6 o'clock, P.M. --arrived at Halifax on the morning of the 18th, and left the same afternoon at one P. M. She has made her passage in I4 days and 11 3/4 hours. She brought 18 passengers to Halifax, and 70 to Boston from Liverpool, and took 9 additional passengers from Halifax to Boston.

imported during the

month ending the 5th ultimo, was 97,434 quarters, of which 2,315 were from British possessions abroad.

The expenditures on account the two houses of Parliament, including salaries, printing, &c. was, in 1840, £122,510 ; in 1841 £122,717 ; and in 1842, $123,847.

It is stated in a letter from Rome, in the Augsburgh Gazette, that several Chinese who have been educated for the priesthood of the Propaganda, have set out to preach the Gosple in their native country.

The visit of the Queen of England to France is rather an extraordinary move, and oxcites many speculations, both in the English and French papers.

The Acadia arrived out in twelve days from Boston. On the morning of the 19th ult, at at 2 o'clock, the Acadia, unfortunately, came in collision with the American barque Merchant, of Newport, United States, from Amsterdam. The barque sunk in fifteen minutes after the concussion, but all the crew were saved. The steamer sustained no damage in her hull. The weather was thick at the time.

The European Times, says :—Espartero has arrived in London. His arrival has caused some stir, and the ex-Regent of Spain has received the most hospital treatment from the leading men of all parties in England.— He was presented to her Majesty at Windsor, by the Earl of Aberdeen, and has been the guest of Lord Palmerston and other distinguished individuals. A day or two before he reached our shores as a fugitive, the Prince de Joinville and the Duke d'Aumale arrived on a visit to the queen. They left hastily and their sudden departure was attributed to tho unfortunate contre temps of meeting in our "tight little island" with the ex-Regent. But the cause of their arrival, and the suddenness of their departure, originated in another and a totally different cause.

The King of the French, hearing of Queen Victoria's intention of taking a short excursion bv sea, commissioned his sons to invite her to his chateau de Eu. She took her departure on Monday from Southampton, amidst great rejoicings, and her progress along the coast is recorded with much minuteness by the daily journals. The Royal squadron reached Treport on Saturdary where it was received by the king of the French and his family with great eclat.

The Royal families of England and France then, amidst great rejoicings, left for the chateau d'Eu which they reached at seven the same evening, and a splendid banquet was nerved up at 9. The Queen's journey to France has excited no little interest on both sides of the Channel. Some of the Paris papers look upon it with anything but satisfaction. This is the first occasion, for upwards of three centuries, that the sovereigns of the two countries have met under similar circum-

two countries have met under similar circumstances. IRELAND.

O'Connell continues to blaze away in Ireland. The agitation increases, if possible, in intensity, and the rent is kept up to the mark—swelled by contrtbutions from various parts of the American continent. He has attacked the Queen's speech with great ferocity, treating it as the speech of the ministers, and wishing it to be believed that her Majesty was coerced into its delivery—that she

is not a free agent, and that a resignation would have been the result of a refusal. This does not tally, however, with the marked intention which her Majesty is said to have imparted to the reading of the passages about the Repeal agitation. That reading plainly indicated her feelings on the subject.

of Rothschild on the check for the remittance, reminded him of a comical story in the Morning Post of London, to the effect that the Pope had been paying him (Mr. O'Coonell) an annuity of £2000 per annum. But the editor doubted the story of his correspondent, because be could riot bring himself to think that his Holiness would employ an unbelieving Jew, like Rothschild, to pay the (Loud laughter.) But for this circumstance,'the sapient Tory editor would have swallowed the story. (Laughter.)

Several communications were read, in one of which was a statement to the effect that the writer was induced to send in his subscription by the implied threats in the Queen's speech.

Mr. O'Connell said that this speech was well described by the Morning Chronicle, which said that it deserved to be designated as the essence of stupidity snd insolence.— (Hear, hear, hear.) That speech was not a royal authority, as the writer of the letter referred to seemed to think. It was a ministerial authority only, and as such it should be treated.

At the usual meeting of the Repeal Association on Monday, the 21st ultimo, the rent for the week was announced to be £1,130. Mr. O'Connell was not present, and the meeting adjourned till next day ; when he propounded his plan for the restoration of the Irish Parliament, as prepared by a committee.

Plan far the Renewed Action of the Irish Parliament. I. The Irish people recognize, acknowledge, maintain and will continually preserve and uphold upon the throne of Ireland, her Majesty Queen Victoria, (whom God protect!) Queen by undoubted right, and by hereditary descent, of Ireland, and

her heirs and successors forever. The people of Ireland recognize, acknowledge, maintain, and will continually preserve and uphold, all the prerogatives of her Majesty, and of her heirs and successors, belonging to and inherent in the imperial crown of Ireland ; and they will true allegiance bear, pure, and indivisible, to her Majesty, her heirs and successors for ever. "2. The people of Ireland acknowledge, and will maintain and preserve for ever, the privileges, hereditary and personal, of the peers of Ireland together with the legislative and judicial authority of the Irish House of Lords, and the exercise of the prerogative in amending and limiting the peerage, as the same did of right exist before the year

1800. "3. The people of Ireland do firmly insist upon the restoration of the Irish House of Commons, consisting of 300 representatives of the Irish people ; and claim in the presence of their Creator the right of the people of Ireland to such restoration. They have submitted to Union as being binding as a law, but they declare solemnly that it is not founded on right, or on constitutional principle, and that it is not obligatory upon conscience.— They agree with the Tory Attorney General Saurin, that the only binding power of the Union is the strength of the English domination. They also agree with him that resistance to the Union is in the abstract a duty, and the exhibition of that resistance a mere question of prudence. They will therefore resist the Union by all legal, peaceful, and constitutional means. "4. The plan for the restoration of the Irish Parliament is as follows: 1. That the county members should be increased to 173, in the manner hereafter specified. 2. That there should be 497 members returned from cities and towns, in the manner mentioned. 3. That the county of Carlow, being {the only county in Ireland with less than 100,000 inhabitants, should get an increase of one member, so as to have throe representatives that every other county having above 100,000 inhabitants should get an increase of twomembers ; that every county ranging above 150,000 inhabitants should get an increase of three members ; that every county ranging above 250,000 inhabitants should get an increase of 4 members. "That the county of Tipperary, having more than 400,000 inhabitants, but less than 500,000, should get an increase of eight members. "That the county of Cork, having more than 700,000 inhabitants, should get an increase of ten members. "5. With respect to the towns and cities, it is proposed that the city of Dublin, having more than 200,000 inhabitants, should have eight representatives; four for the parts north of the Liffey, and four for the parts south of the Liffey. "That the University of Dublin should continue on the basis of its present constituency, to send two members. "It is proposed that the city of Cork, having more than 100,000 inhabitants, should have five

"That the city of Limerick and the town of Belfast, having respectfully more than 50,000 inhabitants, should send four members each.

It is proposed that the town of Galway, and the cities of Waterford and Kilkenny, having respectively more than 80,000 inhabitants, should send each three members to Parliament. "That other towns having about 7,000 inhabitants, should each send two members to Parliament ; and the forty-nine other towns next highest in the ratio of population, should sand one member each. 6. It is proposed that the right of voting should be what is called "household sufferage;" requiring six months' residence in the counties ; with the addition in the towns of married men resident for 12 months, whether householders or not. "7. It is proposed that the mode of voting for members of Parliament should certainly be by ballot. "8. The monarch de facto of England at all times hereafter, whoever be may be, shall be monarch de jure in Ireland. And so in case of a future

ibn Mercury, the great organ of the Nullifies is pouring a tremendous fire into the Van Buren ranks. The utter unavailability of the

Ex-President is flatly asserted and boldly and frequently repeated by the various Calhoun organs. They demand, too, that tho delegates to the National Convention shall be chosen aistricts instead of State Conventions, and

their tone and temper on this subject indicate the probability that Mr. Calhoun's friends will not go into the National Convention unless die delegates are chosen by districts.— The friends of Mr. Van Buren have staked him up on the opposite principle, and, in his own State have chosen tho delegates by a State Convenlion and instructed them all to the! vote lor his nomination. The Washington

TJTFLBF, the N. Y. Evening Pest, the Pennsylvania^, and the Richmond Enquirer, are the warm partizans of Van Buren while the Mercury, on tho other hand, is sustained by numerous influential presses. The heads of the opposing factions are getting wroth and their presses hurl epithets, menaces and defiances at each other. In New York, Calhoun is denounced as a Traitor and the South resents tho epithet in appropriate response. The quarrel between Van Buren nnd Calhoun is utterly incurable and it is clear lo our mind that the Locos, if they mean to make the race at all with a named nag, must bring out a fresh horso. It is laughable lo hear the Tyler press vehement ly echoing the unavailability of Van Buren and Renouncing his nomination as impolitic and unjust. He appears to be buying his way

««A TEMPERANCE STORY."—-TWO young men, "with a humming in their heads," retire late at night to their room in a crowded inn, in which,as they enter, are repealed two beds but the wind extinguishing the light, they both, instead of taking, as they supposed, a bed apiece, get back to back ioto ONE, which begins to sink tinder them and come around at intervals in a manner very circumambient, but quite impossible of explication.

A he same paper say—"In some parts of ECfOP®! begging is reduced to a system, and laws ard established by the mendicants, for the government and well-being of their community. These laws are preserved inviolate, the penalties attached to their infringement being rigorously enforced." It is astonishing, to what pitiful means they resort to secure a livelihoods-many able bodied persons, often mutilate themselves, so that they may be more successful in their objects of pity.

NOVEL MODE OF EVADING THE LAW.—At a camp-meeting in Massachusetts, an ingenious mode of evading the law against retailing liquor was devised. A boat was drawn up in the canal at South Hadley,and it was given out that she intended to make a trip at six and a quarter cents each person. When the boat was full, it would sail down a few rods, until it got into the next county, when all on board were served with a glass of drink The boat would then return for another load.

The appeals which Mr. Tyler and his sattellites are making to the "Democrats" to adg mit the Calamity to their embraces are the most tear-exciting specimens of pathos on record. But the "Democracy" is as hard-heort-ed as a pretty coquette we happen to know. One of her suitors was recently most relentless in his persecutions. She told liiru flatly that she did'nt love him. He insisted, and she told him she couldn't love him. He spoke of his lands, his corner lots, and hisample rents, and she told him she had no taste for him, and there was no use of his saying a word more on the subject. He then rehearsed the numerous favors he had done her, and the sacrifices he had made to gratify her. To all this she replied "well, sir, since you won't take hints, I tell you plainly, you tire ugly, vour character is bad, there is nothing decent about you, and I had as lieve be huggnd by a bear as by you.

REBECCA AND HER DAUGHTERS.—Those not paying particular attention to foreign intelligence, generally wonder who are "Rebecca and her daughters," of whom much is said in Connexion with the disturbances in Wales. "Rebecca" is a farmer unknown to the civil authorities, and the "daughters" are his associates. Thoy hate a secret" organization, are known only to each other, and common-' ly commit their depredations in female np. parel, during night, with "Rebecca*' at their head. The cause of iheir rebellion is the enormous charges made at the toll gatos, which are raised on the roads but a few miles apart, making it very oppressive lo the farmers, of whom the association is chiefly formed, and who hope that by their depredations the gates may be entirely removed.

GNACES.-^The Whigs look dowtt upon the Calhoun men. The Calhoun men look down upon tho Van Buren folks. The Van Buren folks look down upon the Dorrites. The Dorrites look down upon the Tylerites. The Tylerites, it is possible, look do\yn upon monkeys.—Louisville Journal,

The throat and its organs are copied closely from the human original, and are made of gum elastic. The sounds are produced by the action of keys, and a pair of bellows.

We love our own dear country, and our own countrymen, before any foreign nation and mean first to tal& care of American men, and American boys, American girls and women.

We are not an idle people: we must and -j will live by our labor. It feeds us and clothes us, and we mean to take care of that labor in preference to any veto, or any foreign or domestic power. Hence we want a domestic and protective tariff.

Great Unknown,' in whose honor the mound was built the copper beads were a part of a wreath encircled one of hi# arras—the booe of the arm having been preserved by the partial oxydatiog of the copper while the copper rod was a part of some weapon. Bat there was nothing in the collection which seemed to speak from the misty pest so loudly of the vanity of human ambition, aa

SPIRIT or LovE.—Beyond all question, it is the unalterable constitution of nature, that there is efficacy, divine, unspeakable efficacy in love. The exbibitiota of kindness has the power to tiring even the irrational animals into" subjection. Show kindness to a dog and he will remember it he will be grateful he will infallibly return love for lore. ShoW kindness to a lion, and you can lead him by the matte, you can thrust your hand into his mouth and you can melt the untamed ferocity of his, heart into an affection stronger than death. In all God's vast, unbounded creation, there is not a living and sentiment being, from the least to the largest, not one, not even the outcast and degraded serpent, that is insensible to acts of kindness. Jf love, such our blessed Saviour manifested, could be introduced into the world and exert its appro? priato dominion, it would restore a state of things more cheering, far brighter than the fabulous age of gold it would annihilate every sting it would pluck every poisonous root it would hush every discordant voice. Even the inanimate creation is not insensible to this divine influence. The bud and (lower and fiuit put forth most abundantly and beautifully where the hand of kindness is ex-^ tended for their culture. And if this blessediut?uence should extend itself over the earth, a mors I Garden of Eden would exist in every land instead of the thorn and briar, would* spiing up tke figtree find myrtle the desert would blossom and tho ?oJit*fy piaaj be mado -Dr. Upham.

If a farmer wiahes to have his pork barrel and mesv cheat hold out, let him look well to his kitchen garden: Plenty of vegetables conduce not more to health thanr

°.fn laying in a stock of winter fodder for animals, let it not be foramen that a little too much is jusi enough. Starving animala at any time is miserable policy.

Aa you treat your land so it will treat you. Feed it with manures liberally, and it will yield you bread' bountifully.

Avoid debts as yon would the leprosy. If you are ever tempted to purchase on cradit, put off for three days, You need time for reflection.

Never beg fruit, or any thing else yon can produce by the expenditnre of a little time or labor. It is as reasonable to expect a man to give away the products lis wheat field, as of his orchard or iruit garden, fyou keep your sheep and cattle in your meadows il June, dnnt eomplain next winter because you are eonrftel led to purchase hay for your stock.

The man who uses good seed, has good soil, and works it in good seaeon, rarely fails of having a good crop to reward his toil.

Never forfeit your word. The saying in trnth of an farmer, "his word is as good as his bond," is worth moro to him than the interest of |10.(HK) annually.

Rapid Communication between London and Paris. Ih consequence of the facilities afforded by the London and Dover railway to Folkstone in three hours from the terminus near London bridge, and by the Emerald and Sir Wm. Wallace steamers, belonging to the Commercial Company, twice a day to Boulogne surMer, in three hoers from Falkstone, and vice versa, the directors of thj Paris diligences of the Messageries Royal and Lafitle^ are having new light coaches constructed that will run from Paris to Boulogne in sixteen hours, instead of twenty-two as heretofore, so that the whole distance will be performed within twenty-two hours from the French capital to London, which will be nearly as rapid as the post office estafette. This new arrangement is to commence, if possible, and will be of the greatest advantage to the town of Boulogne, which is the grand route for tourists proceeding to Paris, Switzerland, aud Italy, being so much preferable to that by Calais. Trevellers starting from Paris, at six in the morning, will arrive at Boulogne at ten o'clock the same evening, in time for the night steamer to Folkstone or, by leaving at six in the evening, will arrive at ten next morning, in time for the steamer by the noon tide, and be In London between five end six o'clock in the afternoon by the south-eastern railway. The weekly average of Passengers to and from Boulogue is 2.000 to 2,500 since the opening of the-railway to Folkstone, and the new steam packet station from thence to the opposite coast. Two new iron steamers are being constructed which are expected to perik* WAVIMM in two hours, or two and a

form the voyage in two hours, or quarter.—English Paper*
