FOREIGN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE N I A G A U A, SEVEN DAYS LATER. Sackville, iV. li. Oct 17. ENGLISH MARKETS. We are in receipt of Liverpool papers to the 6th inst. The commercial advices by this arrival are in all material particu lars tho same as we received by the Cal edonia. There is no improvement in trade to be noticed; nor, have any of the good effects to bo expected from a bountiful harvest been realized. Frojn Manchester and other principal manufacturing districts the accounts are far from being satisfactory. Another mail from the East Idias has arrived, with Calcutta dates to Aug. 20th, Bombay Sept. 1st. The accounts are re garded as favorable in a commercial point of view. In Liverpool there has been a moderate demand during the past week. Cotton is at precisely the same prices as were noticed in the Caladonias news. ENGLAND. By far the most important political news by this arrival, is the possible and even probable war between Russia and Turkey, which now forms the chief topic of discussion in the English and French Journals, as well as amongst all classes and, in its paramount importance, the Ro man difficulty as well as all other matters of national importance, appear wholly lost sight of. TURKEY. The most recent accounts from Con stantinople, state, that the Emperor of Russia has made a formal demand for the surrender of Kossuth, Bern and other pat riots who have sought refuge in the terri tories of the Sultan. The Turkish gov ernment with a manliness that cannot be too highly commended, refused to be bullied. Although in England and France cabi net councils have been held to consider these grave circumstances, not the slight est doubt can be entertained of the results should Russia persist in demanding the surrender of her devoted men, a European war is thought to be inevitable. FRANCE. The Paris Journal Debats of Thursday says: VVe a-e clad to learn that the English and French governments are most cordially united in the determination to support their Ambassadors, in the advices given by them to the Porte, respecting the extradition of the Hungarian refugees. i no Kussian envoy finding his threaten ings to be unavailing, took an abrupt de parture from Ci-nstanstinople. The Russian miuikter has closed all his diplomatic intercourse with the Perte. England and France through their repre sentatives prevailed with the Sultan, in Keeping him firm to hts first resolution. Farther Particulars by the Xiaiara. Gcorgy reported to be shot The new orations for War, The attention of all Europe is directed to the North, in order to learn the issue ol the visit of the Prince Radizkal to the Czar. TURKEY. ihe Sultan has countermanded his voyage to Smvrna and the ArchinehVo The army ofRoumeliois ordered to hold itself m readiness. There is no reason to doubt but that the best accord prevails be tween the English and French Cahinets and it is said that powerful English and renca ueeis win De ordered to trie Medi teranean, forthwith. In the Duchies the excitement is ai great as ever, and it is quite evident that nothing but the existing armistice, backed by a prominent military force, keeps the people of Schleswig-Holstein from open resistance. In Piedmont the Chamber of Deputies only consented to the treaty with Austria in consequence of the hard and inexorable necessities which crush them at present. The manifesto of the Pope, as appeared in an official form, and with feeliugs of deep disappointment, if not resentment in all quarters. The feel ing was especially participated in by French soldiers, several of whom were put under arrest for having torn down or oth erwise defaced the copies of the manifesto affixed to the walls. The Amnesty in particular was made the object of popular odium. The attitude of the French military authorities is quite expectant it awaits orders from Paris, but disapproves de facto the measures ordered by the Papal Government; and whilst the arainau Jare not walk the streets of Kome for fear of encountering the popular fury the victims marked out bv their In quisitorial decrees, walk about freely. The Pope relying upon Austria or Spain, or both, and being promised funds from Russia, seems to imagine that public opinion will come over to his side, and this shuts the eyes to the most obvious consequences. The debates on the sub ject, in the French Chambers are anxious ly looked for, and should the French troops oe wilhdrawn from the Papal States, there are strong reasons to apprehend that a fresh revolution would immediately break forth. F rora Vienna there is nothing new, ex cept that there in increased gloom and des pondency on the part of the inhabitants. ' From Spain we have only reports of fresh ministerial crises, but not one word "eems to be said of the serious attempts mch hive been meditated against 'C aba. The suspension of intercourse between France and America caused much sensa tion in Paris, when first announced, but a rumor having gained general belief that England had offereed her mediation, that feeling considerably subsided. As soon as or a despatch is terminated, JU. iYiarrast M. Thiers, it is expected, will be sent to Washington, in the place of M Poussin. Gen. Lamorriciere's mission to Rnssia has proved a complete failure He has left St. Petersburg, on his return to Paris, without being permitted to present his cre dentials to the Czar, as the Ambassador of the French Republic. Gen. Lamorriciere therefore returns to France without having an opportunity of speaking one word with the Emperor on political matters, and the only memorial he will bring back of his mission, is the recollection of sundry Reviews, and the splendid suit of Circassian armor presented to him by Nicholas, immediately after his arrival at the Imperial Head Quarters. Considering that the President of the Re public went so far in his endeavors to pro cure a favorable reception for Gen. Lamor riciere, as to banish the Hungarian refu gees, and his determination to go heart and hand with England, in resisting so prepos terous a demand. It was reported at Vienna, on the 30th ult., thatGorgey the ex-Dictator of Hun gary had been shot by Count Edmund Zicky, whose brother was executed 6y Gorgeys decree at Crepel. England jYetr from Sir John Frank lin s expedition. A communication from the Lords of Ad miralty, under date of October 4, states that hopes are entertained that the news brought by Capt. Parker, of the True Love arrived at Hull, from Davis' Straits, of Sir John Franklin's ship having been seen by the natives as late as March last, beset by the ice in Prince Regent's Inlet is not without foundation. From the same source reports have been received that Sir John Ross' ships are in the South of Prince Regent's Inlet, and that the vessels of both expeditions are safe. This hope is somewhat strengthen ed by the telegraphic message to the Ad miralty, since received, of the Mayor ot Hull where the True Love arrived last March. The Irish journals are filled with ac counts of the most sangunary conflicts be tween the tenantry and the landlords for the possesion of the corn; and the long cherished feeling of hatred between the occupiers of the soil and the owners have now broken out with a degree of violence which threatens very serious results. Al ready numerous lives have been lost. In the Kilrush Union, a sentence of evic tion has passed against no less than 1800 souls from their homes, and lodgings, in such an unpromising state of things, it is not to be wondered emigration is proceed ing with a fresh impulse. It is believed that the winter emigra tion from the South will be greater than the last. Interesting and Probably Important Sews from Mr Jobn Franklin. From the New London (Ct.) Chroniclo. Capt. Chapel, of the bark McLellen, of this port, from Davis btraits, whose arri val we announced yesterday morning, fur nishes information which will be read with interest in the Unied Stages, and in deed in every part ot the world. About the 1st of August while the McLellen lay in Pond's Bay, an indentation of Baffin's Bay, in lat. 74, Ion. 72, the natives of the coast came on board the Chieftian, an Eng lish whaleman, and gave information by signs, that two la'rge ships were then lying in Prince Regent's Inlet, and had been there fast in the ice for four seasons; and being asked with regard to those on board whether they were dead or alive, they re plied in the same way that the crews were not "asleep," (that is, not dead,) but were all well. It was considered by the Eng lishmen and Captain Chapel, that the ships of Sir John Franklin were clearly meant. The Englishmen landed at Cape May, some distance from Pon's Bay, a quantity of coal and provisions with which his ship was furnished by the British Government for the use'of the long missing ships, if they should chance to come there, as they would be obliged to do on their re'ura to England. This is certainly the latest news from that quarter, and there is a pos sibility, perhaps a probability, that the commander of this unfortunate expedilion and his crews are still alive. Heaven send that it may be so! The McLellen and her gallant officers and crew have reached home almost by mi racle at any rate have done so under cir cumstances that entitle them credit. to the highest Un the 12th ot June the barque got "nipped" in the ice, and only escaped destruction by the almost superhuman ex ertions and good conduct of those who were in charge of her. She was so se verely injured that she leaked so as to be kept afloat only by the incessant work of nearly all the hands at the pumps, and by means of two large metallic pumps obtain ed by Capt. C. from the wreck of two English vessels crushed and totally lost just ahead of him. The leak was, how ever partially remedied by thrummed sails under the bow, though she continued -to leak badly until her arrival home, and was only kept above water by continued and unceasing labor at the pumps, till she reached the dock, which, indeed, is still obliged to be continued, as she lies at the wharf. The two English ship! Superior and Lady Jme, mentioned yesterday were bth lost very near the McLellen. Two of the crew of 'he lost ships arrived in her. They are natives of the Shetland Is lands. On the 30th of August, the McLellen lost a man named Joseph Schneider, of New York, who fell from the mizzen top-masthead, aLd lived but 20 minutes; being shockingly mangled in the head and limbs. He was 21 years of age. It is due Capt. Chapel, his gallant offi cers and ship's company, again to say, that their conduct in bringing home their vessel is deserving of more than common praise, and even with their exertions it could not have been done, but for the staunch and enduring qualities of the ship. The skill and perseverance of the officers and men were objects of admiration to the Englishmen who saw them. The Mormon Country. A correspondent of the New York Tri bune, writing from the Great Salt Lake country, in a letter dated July 8th, says: t'ru: t j. ilia Acrruury, oia.it;, ur, as suhic term it, Mormon Empire, may justly be considered one of the great prodigies of the age, and, m compansonwith its age, the most gigantic of all Republics in exis tence being only in its second year since the first seed of cultivation was planted, or the first civilized habitation commenced. If these people were such thieves and rob bers as their enemies represented them in the States, I must think they have greatly reformed in point of industry since coming to the mountains. I this day attended worship with them -in the open air. Some thousands of well.dressed, intelligent-looking people as sembled; some on foot, some in carriages and on horseback. Many were neatly and even fashionably clad. The beauty and neatness of the ladies reminded me of some of our best congregations in New York. They had a choir of both sexes, who performed extremely well, accompa nied by a band who played well on almost every instrument of modern invention. Peals of the most sweet, sacred, and sol emn music filled the air. after which a sol emn prayer was offered by the Rev. Mr. Grant, of Philadelphia. Then followed various business advertisements read by the Clerk. Among these I remember a Call of the Seventeenth Ward, by its presiding Bishop, to some business meeting -a Call for a meeting of the 32d Quorum of the Seventy, fand a meetinsr of the officers of the 2d Cohort of the Military Legion, &c. "After this, came a lengthy discourse from Mr. Brigham Young, President of the Society partaking somewhat of Pol itics, much of Religion and Philosophy, and a little on the subjectaof Gold, show ing the wealth, strength and glory ol Eng land growing out of her Coal mines. Iron and Industry and the weakness, corrup tion and degradation of Spanish America, Spain, &c, growing out of her gold, silver, &c, and her idle habits. "Every one seemed interested and plea sed with his remarks, and all appeared to be contented to stay at home and pursue a persevering industry, although mountains of gold were near them. The able speak er painted in lively colors the ruin which would be brought upon the United States by Gold, and boldly predicted that they would be overthrown because they had killed the Prophets, stoned and rejected those who were sent to call them to re pentance, and finally plundered and driven the Church of the Saints from their midst, and burned and desolated their City and Temple. He said God had a reckoning with that people, and gold would be the in strument of their overthrow. The Con stitutions and laws were good, in fact, the best in the world, but the administrators were corrupt, and the Laws and Consti tution were not carried out. Therefore thev must fall. He further observed that the people here would petition to be or eranized into a territory under that same Government notwithstanding its abuses and that if granted they would stana bv the Constitution and Laws of the Uni ted States; while at the same time he de nounced their corruption and abuses. - "But, said the speaker, we ask no odds of them, whether they grant us our peti tion or not! We never will ask any odds of a nation who has driven us from our homes. If they grant us our rights, well if not, well; they can do no more than they have done. They, and ourselves, and all men, are in the hands of the great God, who will govern all things for good, and all will be right and work together for good to them that serve God.- "Such, in part, was the discourse to which we listened in the strongholds of the mountains. The Mormons are not dead, nor is their spirit broken. Ajrtd, if I mistake not, there is a noble, daring, stern, and Democratic spirit swelling in their bosoms, which will people these mountains with a race of independent Men. and influence the destiny of our country and the world for a hundred gen erations. In their Keligion they seem charitable, devoted and sincere in their Politics, bold, daring and determined in their domestic circle, quiet, affectionate and happy while in industry, skill and intel ligence they have few equals, and no su periors on the earth. "I had many strange feelings while con templating this new civilization growing up so suddenly in the wilderness. 1 at most wished I could awake from my gold en dream, and find it but a dream; while I pursued my domestic duties as quiet, as happy and contented as this strange Peo ple." CP" A contemporary states that about 2,000 acres of land between Hoboken, and tho heights of West Hoboken, were once underwater. Vessels in the olden time used to sail close under the hills on which West Hoboken now stands. From the N. Y. Journal of Commerce Oct. 1C Railroad Across the Istnmas ruder Contract We are happy to learn that the Panama Rail Road Company have put under con tract that portion of their Railroad across the Isthmus which lies between the Cha gres river and the bay of Panama, about 21 miles the whole distance from Pa nama to Limon Bay being 45 miles. The contractors are Messrs. Totton and Traut wine, whose proposals were the most fa vorable, and who possess the great recom mendation of having been employed for the last four or five years in the territories of New Grenada, in constructing a canal ninety miles long, to connect two branches of the Magdalene river. They have ac complished this work entirely with native labor, and though at first encountering great difficulty, they have succeeded in training the natives into expert workmen, and will be able to carry over with them a large force. Thoroughly acclimated, and with a perfect knowledge of the char acter and habits of the people they will begin the Railroad with the advantage of all the experience acquired in constructing the Canal. Their bid was the lowest received, which is good evidence that the difficulties are not so great as have been supposed by those less acquainted with the character and resources of the country. They expect to break ground about the 1st of December ensuing. The construction will be carried on un der a new organization. Col. Hughes of the old I opographical Corps, under whose supervision the survey and location of the Road were made, has resigned his place as chief engineer, and returned to the du ties of his profession. The able and effi cient manner in which this work was con ducted on the Isthmus, and the reports, maps and drawings prepared since his re- si turn, naa given the company a high ap preciation of his services, which was ex pressed by a unanimous resolution of the Board, conveying to him in strong terms their regret at his withdrawal from the fur ther prosecution of the work. William H. Sidell, Esq., his principal assistant on the Isthmus, has been appointed to suc ceed him. Mr. S. graduated with dis tinction at "West Point, and immediately afterwards turning his attention to civil engineering, has been employed on some of the most important public works of the country, and gave up the charge of one of the most difficult sections of the Erie, for the Panama Railroad. Under his superintendence the enter prise will, we have no doubt, be pushed on to an early and successful termination. We also learn that the government of New Grenada has manifested a determi nation to give the company large addition al facilities, so as to ensure the route by the way of Panama being the first opened, and the leading communication between the two seas. Paris at Present, reviving in Paris. Trade is reviving in Paris. Many of the unrivalled artist-mechanics are busy. If they continue so they will not agitate. Promise of better times is thus given. Paris has such a fund, of vitality, that hardly war, pestilence, or famine will keep people out of it. The English like it bet ter, than London, and the Americans by living in it are spoiled for other places. The climate is delicious. A person with a moderate good constitution, who guards his health, will find it fortified by living here. I could name several Americans who attribute improved health and pro longed existence, which was threatened at home to their living here. As for the French themselves, who live well, they glow with health. The women are par ticularly robust. Dyspepsia, the bane of America, is never spoken of. Light wines lead to temperance. The ready-made coffin-warehouse look of the London, wine and spirit shop,' where infamously bad gin is dealt out to children, women and men, so called, has no place here. With snch a climate and country, it seems to me the demon of Atheism must have ruled here for centuries, to produce the effects we see in the poverty, vice discon tent, and stunted stature, even because the picked men, to the number of millions, have been killed in battle. Now that this country has rid itself of a kingly dynasty, with its foreign marriages, ex necessitate increasing army and budget, its centraliza tion without hope of change, we may look for improvement, notwithstanding the ret rogradation of the present government. Universal suffrage lies at the bottom, and when the political waters are less turbid it will be seen and felt. Philadelphia Ledger. The New State of Desorct. The boundaries of this new State, around the region of the Great Salt Lake, unknown ten years ago, are thus defined: Commencing at the 33 deg. north latti tude, where it crossos the 108 longitude west of Greenwich; thence running south and west to thenorthern!ooundary of Mex ico: thence west to, and down the main channel of the Gila river on the northern line of Mexico, and on the northern boun dary of Lower California to the Pacific Ocean; thence along the coast northwester ly to the 118 30x of west longitude; thence north to where said line intersects the di viding ridge of the Sierra Nevada moun tains; thence north along the summit of the Sierra Nevada mountains to the divi ding range of mountains that seperate said waters flowing into Columbia river from the waters running into the Great Basin; thence easterly along the dividing range of j mountains that seperate said waters flow ing into Columbia river on the north, from the waters flowing into the Great Basin on 'the south, to the summit of the Wind Riv- er chain of these mountains; thence south east and south by the dividing range of mountains thatseperate the waters flowing into the Gulf of Mexico, from the waters flowing into the Gulf of California, to the place of beginning, as set forth in a map drawn by Charles Preuss, and published by order of the Senate of the United States, in 1848. BeanUfal Illustration of the Operations of the Tariff of 1346 In his last letter to the Washington Union, Prentice, the well informed New York correspondent of that excellent paper, gives a beautiful illustration of the practical operations of the Revenue Tariff of 1846. He says:- The large and unu sual profits now being earned by charter ed capital are evidence, however, of the prosperity of the productive powers of the country under the financial and commer cial policy which has been in operation for the last three years. The ad valorem principle of the tariff is of all others the most favorable results both upon the busi ness of the country, and the revenues of the government. The exports of the Uni ted States are almost altogether raw pro duce, and the quantities that go forward depend upon the demand abroad. The importations of the United States are, on the other hand, confined mostly to the re turns of produce sold. If England, hav ing a short harvest, buys an unusual quan tity of food, by so much must the impor tation of English goods increase in pay ment of the food. It is usually the case that when she wants food, prices of her own goods fall, and the United States con sumers gets more cloth for his produce in the double ratio of the rise in food and fall in fabrics. Thus if a certain quality of cloth is worth 10s per piece when flour is worth 25s, and through failure in the crop the latter rises to 35s and the former sinks to 7s, then the United States will get dou ble the quantity of cloth for the same quan tity of flour. The revenues of the govern ment will be greater, and yet the average tax per peice no more. Thus 2 peices at 10s are equal to a barrel of flour at 25s. Five pieces at 7s are equal to barrel of flour at 35s. At 30 per cent duty the gov ernment revenues in the latter case would be 10s against 7s in the former and the consumer has the benefit of the fall in price. On the other hand, if the price abroad advances, less will be imported; because in that case it can be more cheap ly furnished at home. The ad valorem duty, operating upon the higher invoice value gives the government its usual reve nue under a lessened importation; whereas in the case of specific duties, when the quantity imported is diminished by too high prices abroad, the government loses its revenue and resorts to borrowing. In the present year the invoice values and government revenues are both large; the latter probably more so than would be the case if the duties were specific. The amount of duties collected is evidence that the system does not easily admit of fraud or evasion: although the wretched condi tion of the customs now, through the hot haste with which experienced officers were discharged and ignorant and incapa ble men substituted is disastrous to the public interests. Gen. Taylor is not coming North. It will be seen by the following letter rom Gen. Taylor to Mayor Woodhull, of New York, that he is not coming North this fall. Washington, Oct 16, 1849. Sir Your letter to the Secretary of State renewing the invitation formerly ex tended to me, to visit the city of New York, has been duly submitted. Until a few days since it was ray expectation still to visit New York and New England du ring the present season; but the increased duties incident to the approach of a session of Congress, have compelled me reluctant ly, to defer my tour until another year. I need not say how much I regret the neces sity of foregoing the great satisfaction which I would have derived from mingling with my fellow-citizens of New York, but I shall not fail to visit them if my life and health be spared. With my best thanks for your friendly invitation, I remain with high respect your friend and obedient servant. Z. Taylor. Indian Depredations on the Missouri Frontier. We learn from a gentleman direct from Fort Scott, that about the 1st of this month the Osage Indians broke open the store of Messrs. Johnston fc W eddle, situated on or near the State line, in Bates county Mo. and robbed it of most of its contents. The tribe, or at least a great portion of them, are scattered throughout the settlements of the Missourians, near the State line, com mitting many petty anroyances and dep redations. There is, probably, no tribe on the borders so idle and thievish as the Osages. Major Thompson who is in command of Fort Scott, sent out a com mand of dragoons, but they were unable to accomplish anything, or to find such evidence as would bring the Indians to trial. For some cause or other, this tribe about two years ago were placed under the charge of the Southern or Arkansas Su perintendent of Indian A. flairs. Why this change was made, we do not understand; but it places the tribe under a superinten dency which is much more indirect and difficult to supervise them than if they were in charge of the Superintendent in this city. It behooves the Department to put them under some better surveilance than now exists over them. St. Joseph's (Mo) Gazette, Sept. 28. is the time to get mar- ricd. 0, D.
