We take the following Letters from late numbers of the London League-the Jour eat of the Free Traders of England : GEN. MCDUFFIE. A bound copy of the League iaving been forwarded to Gen. McDuffie by G. Wilson, Esq., Chairman of the Council of the ,League, the former has returned the following acknowledgment : WAtrNUTON, March 11, 1345. "My dear Sir.-I have just received your Irindly and flittericg letter, request ing mte, in the name of the "Council of the Anti Corn Law League of G. Jtritain. to accept of-a copy of the first volume of League; as a testiuony of their esteem, founded upon the services I have rendered to the great cause of Free Trade with all nations. In accepting this gratifying to ken of, their consideration and regard, I beg the Council to be assured that none other could have been suleeted more ac ceptable to me than this authentic record of the early and successful labors of an as sociation which, from its commencement, I have regarded with the deepest interest, as being destined to produce a futdamen tal change i i the commercial policy of G. Britain, which cannot but be followed by a corresponding change in the policy of all the commercial nations of the earth. Simce the Saviour of our fallen race sent forth his chosen apostles to preach the sublime doctrine of "Peace on earth and good will to all men," no human associa tion has been formed, in my opinion, better calculated to promote the peace, prosperi ty, and happiness of all nations than the Tree Trade, League of Great Britain A system of Free Trade, adopted by all nations, would bind them together, by bonds of common interest and mutual good will, which the ambition of rulers could never tear assunder. Every nation would rejoice in the prosperity of all na tions, as being essential to its own. And here the remark may be appropri ately made, that there are no political communities on the face of the earth to which these views so forcibly apply as to Great Britain, France, and the other man ufacturing nations of Europe on the one hand, and the agricultural staple States of other. As 'a redresentatt. c n ah exporting int rest of theseIt - ually look'upon the prosperity of Manches ter with as much interest and gratification as I do that of Charleston or New York. and much more than I do upon that of Boston, which I air constrainer to regard as the fruits of an unjust and oppressive system of legalized plunder, which confis cateS at least one-fifth of the annul income of the cottn planters to sustain a mercen ary moneyed aristocracy of pampered and bloated monopolies. "In conclusion I beg you to assure the League that they shall have my constant prayers for their success ; that the time may speedily arrive when the banner of Free T:ade shall wave in triumph over the whole world, and that, beneath its am ple folds. 'the nations of the earth may pitch their tents in peace.' Acce.t for yourself, personally, the assurance of my high consideration and regard. '-GF-o. McDUFFIE. "Geo. Wilson. Esq , Manchester, G. Britain." The following Itas been received from J. C. Calhoun, Esq.. the celebrated Ameri can advocate of Free Trade, addressed to George Wilson, Esq . Chairman of the Council of the League : "'FouT HILL. March 24th, 1845.

While te manufacturers are -making dividends of pronit, of from.15 to 25 per cent, we are assured that we can hire one of the best farms in Worcester county for less than two per cent ott its valuation hut a few years ago. Why is this ? Will some otte explain to us why the greatag rianltural interest is thus depressed. while the comparatively unimportatnt Interest of manufactures is almost buidened with ac cumulated profits 7 Men wtho are thus hauling in dividenda, hiand over hattd, will never stop to explain the sources of their gains; btut they wvho ard oppressed by the operation of the same system, faywell ponder and ask for its reasondablenpess or justice. The present Adminisiraition is pledgec to give fred t industry and'trade frotm the shackles itnnposed upon them by Con grees acting for thei benefli of favored class e. Yet we are nd withront oui- foars, -Some. who claim to speak the sentiment: of the party in power, are much inclinet to couple 'incidental protection' with th idea of a revenue tariff; and although it is a harmless phrase when properly guarded and restricted, yet there is in it an inherenl power of expansion capable of covering almo every abuse which Congress; act ing r a favored class, may-choose toin. fiet upon the country.. The great New England manufacturers will be perfectly satisfied with the doctrine of 'incidental protection,' only allow them to give the phrase their own interpretation. It.isdue to the great agricultural class, That tile Government should relieve them from all such restrictions as forbid them buying and selling to the best advantage. It is due to the industry of the country, that te >urden of taxation, unequally im posed,"should be lightened by dispensing with all taxation, not absolutely necessary for revenue. Will the Democracy be true to its professions. and see that it is done ? - Worcester (iMass.) i alladium. From the Charleston Courier. WAR WITH MEXICO. On'Saturday last, our city was rife with runors of a declaration of war by Mexico against the United States. The report was founded on statements said to have been iade by a hearer of despatches from the British Consul at New Orleans, to the Britith Minister at Washington, who was travelltng "express." It was asserted that a British man of war had arrived below at New-Orleans; that despatches announcing the declaration of war had been sent up to the city; and, the mail boat from M%] obile having left. that a steam boat was chartered, at an immense ex pense, to overtake the mail; and thus ru mor accounted for the news having been "exclusively" in the possession of this ex press despatch bearer. Great anxiety was manifested by all for the arrival of the Rail Road cars with the Western mail, to confirm the war report, if true. The mail came, and the whole story of war vanished into thin air. It proved to be true that the British frigate Eurydice had arrived at the Balize, from Vera Cruz, bringing despatches from the British Minister in Mexico, to Mr. Pack enha, the British Minister at Washing ton, which weresent by a special messen er A Mure, as we believe is usual on . - cgiec !e -were..f them in-cha'rge. In another column will be found some extracts of Mexican intelligence, copied from the New-Orleans Jefersonian Re publican of Monday and Tuesday last, in which it will be seen that the former re ports of the anxiety of the Mexican.peo: pie for war with this country, are reitera ted, mnd also that the British envoys are makhg every exertion to prevent the an nexaion of Texas to this zountry; but we cannt perceive any eviJence that a de clarnion of ivar on the part of Mexico, is mort probable than was previously appa-. rent. ; Tie Bulletin of Monday says: "We have rec-ived no papers or communica tionsther than a letter from our corres pondnt ai Mazatlan, who st:'tes that the Atneican bark Quixote had arrived at San Ulas from Alta California. with the late lovernor on board and his soldiers' tavig been expelled by the native Cali fornias. The northern departments, our corrqpnrdent says, are wholly averse to a war rith the United .tates, on account of the (nexation of Texas." Sluld any important intelligence af fectit the relations of.this country with Mexo, or any other power, be received a at a; point, it is naturally to be supposed r thatbe authorities would take measures c to en'munipate it throughout-the country. ? wilthe greatest possible despatch, and ti thee~re flying rumors should always be v dotu-d. ..- - . ti &ful Company-A companion that it is eerful. and free frotm swearing and o scudous discourse is worth gold.

Tbey have an exercise called "holy rolling;" and another "Slain of the Lord," when they fall upon the floor apparently helpless, In this some of them give warning and re late visions, and recite doggrel rhymes. They have a methe! of expressingjoy by shouting and swinging their arms and clapping their hands. There is a holy dance practised, and the holy laugh. Fre quent happiness are observed-some at midnight, and some personal. The latter has been recently performed by certain worthy and highly. accomplished young women, by jumping aid Tolling in pools of water by the road side.' Little children have .been seized and carried into a neigh. boring brook. Yarious means are resor ted to. for the purpose of making-sacri agces. - One. woman took her -china lea set and broke it into. small pieces... 'As a general thing, they -refrain from labor, and dispose of their property, apparently with out thought of its-value or pains taken-in collecting it. . They consume- their fences for fuel-have no regard to regular hours of refreshment or rest. . And for all these things they.think-they have the command of God." I understand a case has been, or is be ing prepared for the consideration of the Attorney General, with reference to the question, whether the Postmaster General cannot contract with individuals to carry the mails over the railroads; and whether such individuals will not have the right to travel over the railroads with the mails in their possession. If his opinion should be in favor of this posiiion, and the -case should be tested before the. Courts, and sustained by them, it wuuldat once, and forever, break up the- monopoly-:which the railroad companies are endeavoring to establish, and by means of- which they think they can control and coerce the Post Office Department, and plunder the peo ple, underpretence'of being paid for car rying the mail, ad.infinitum.-Correspon dent N. 'Y. Hetold. . A: methoi is.said have b,ptii acisco. rendered as hard an durable as iron or stone ; and it: is further asserted that the experiment :has been tried with so much success-that -wooden rails, thus prepared, have been successfully substituted for the iron :rails in common use.-- The cost of heavy iron rails of the most approved kind. is said to be in England not far from, $7000 per mile :-rails made by the nev method .it is stated can be laid down for $400 per mile. The annual report of the Patent office; for the last year. makes mention of the disce.very as one likely to be ol vast im portance to this -country. The -wooden rails have been used on the Dover Rail road, and. others laid down at Vauxhall, for experiment, have erdured a year's ravel without any perceptible injury. T'he process of preparing the timber is impl) this: . . "The pieces. after having been fitted by be carpenter and joiner for their places, ire introduced into an immense iron cylin ler, which is then exhausted by -an air ump. - .A solution-of the sulphate of iron 3 then injected, which immediately enters rito the-exhausted pores of the wood.- t 'ha wood is thed- withdrawn, and placed gain in a similar vacumm, in a- solution f muriate of lime, which, coming into ontact wvith the -sulphiate.of irotn within le twood, decomposes it, anid forms- an isoluble sulphate -of linme, *or gy psum. -tit the wood; and the muriste -of: 6 -on, the other new compound. goes about s business.. So the wood becomes thor- 6 ughly impregnated with stone- as hard as c rock, and yet it is as tougasiws afore."'g sitwsm Ft has been decided by Judge Nelson, I' we learn t'rom a communication. in the a ational Intelligencer, that if the proprie- a rof a new invention sells even one of b s articles, before he has taken otit his di itent, he thereby loses his exclusive aim; the sale is held to he an abandon- le ent of the invention to the public.- a1 his is a new decision-the opposite doe ine having been heretofore held at the .hi tent office. The case in which the law w as declared .by Judge Nelson was that of 1 'ilson vs. Packard. hi Slave Case.-A n jinoteresting dfecision on at is callcd the--" slave case," was made in the U. S. Circuit Court. -in session on Of S19th, at the capital of Indiana. The 'P se involved the following points, as. rn ted in the State Sentinel: " st. That slavery was only a State or al institution: 2. That slavery is based y local laws, not sustained or supported be either moral, natural, or national law:it That if a slave escape from the State which he is held in slavery..either by. ~ident, consent of his master, or against it consent he is forever free: 4.

He admitted =the correctness-of the proposition 1, and-2, - > but overruled the demurrer to the declara' lion, decided thti if Indiana had remained - ' a territory,. under the ordinance, she - would not have been boundto deliver up the slaves; but havinga~dopted a constito dion, which -i' partbrogated the lae of the-ordinance, she-is bound'~by -the consti lion of the United-States;and; Missouri " - being one of the great sister family of States, is entitled to all the rights and priv ileges of the oi-iginal States, from -allotber States in the Union. The great Fire at Quebec continues, to - - engross -the attention of the press in that city and in Montreal. The destructionit caused was indeed terrible. The habita tions of at least one, third of the popula-' lion are in' ruins,'aud not less than 10,000 pesons were deprived of everything they . had ii the world. . The amhount of distress surpassed description. ;The citizens who escaped loss have manifested. the most prompt.and generous hospitality, nearly. 840.000 having been subscribed at a. pub lic meetinj held immediately, by a fee.of - the most prominent: citizens. -- The sight of the, thousand-of- poor people.. made houseless, shelterless and utterly-comfort lessby ihis sad visitation,' standing around the wharves or clinging- to the very ruins of their Tormer homes is described as truly affecting.e Bread and -needed clothing has: been distributed as far as possible, and no, measures were left untried -to. relieve the universal distress; ' School houses and other public places have been thrown open to-give.the: wretched 'victims shelter.
