TJrth Wrill Out.-TVhe Newburyp'ort Herald, a Whlig lpaper, and atn advocate of the'Tariff of 1842, contains t~he following statetment and remarks, inder date of the .5th ins': The New Mills.-The stockholJers of the Globe and Ocean Mills, mneet to-tmor row, to tatke measures for the increase of their capital stock, so as to putt the mills inoimdate operation. These tnills lhave now received and set up nearly all their machinery, and in a fe w weeks will he, prepaeredt for the maniuft cr of cloth. The size of tho mills having been mtade largr than was originally desi-gtfed ; in consequeenee of this fet, and rte necessity at the present titte of providitng some working capital besides tlehm inv'ested in baildinegs and mnachinery, a-i increase of capitat is rtuisite. We have tmade some inqeiry as to tbe competitione whicht these will w'ill eni counter from the English wanufacturcrs under the-new tariff, and find thant the goods they will manufacture, cost wvithin a stmall fraction'as much in England as they do here. 'rThe Etnglish manufnteturers work into their goods a portion of East India cotton, w-bich costs only one half as tmuch as k morican cor'on,~ and by this means sotne titmes undersell us itn such fabrics, but the quality of the cloth in theese cases is so in ferior, that even the Chinese and Brazil lians prefer to pay the enheaneed price of American goods, except when they are de ceived by the imritation of American goods which some of the Eneglishmren adopt. With a fairly leviedl 25 per cent. duty, we- tbelieve-these mills will -do a better business than -the navigation interest gen erally. especially as the domestic- compe titioni will probably be much lessened for seie'ral years to .cotrre. --The : machinery has all the- latest imiprovemente,-end iotel ligent aued; experienced agents-have ;been - -apointed tasipnerinend the moanofacture; AtI RY COURT OF INQUIRY EXt. -GAINES'S DEFENCE. - rfolk Beacon has the following ,aced f the proceedings at Old Poini Cot)f 0n Monday last: MCorn -dence of the -Norfolk Beacon -OLD PoIr.

With apology he proceeded to re triark.- hat it had been his purpose to prepardn elaborate statement of all the flcig pa dues involved in this investiga tions ndo invoke testimony of the most distigi red characters from Louisiana and ib6 places in his justification-but rhatberad changed his purpose in that particul. That in the steps he had in kIen ii 014rence to this whole matter, lie had soi't and held conference with ma ny ofil imost prominent.and distinguish ed fen the South-and he avowed that , an o iial intercourse of 40 years dura rtona16 ;his best efforts to defend the aountry nptly and ably sustained as bihykhad n, he never had met a more tordigi ooeration than in the present. iustnce.

That having received an order from the President of the L nited Srates. on the 10th )1 J one, to report hmself in Washington, re accordingly on the noxi day embarked hither, via Mobile, where he had duties ro discharge, &c. That on his arrival at \lobilc, he was called an by Governor Chambers and notified that two regiments which had heet formed, &c., were in a state of disorder, in consequence of being :ommanded by officers of equal grade, neither one conceding the superiority of the other, and being informed by the Gov. that soine steps must he taken to remedy the evil, he appointed Gen. WV. Smith, the Birigadier General to take the ~mmand of the two regiments. Gen. Smith he knew well-and knewv him to be a talon ted aid m-eritorious officer. That he per. formed this duty wiihoui.ang delay. Thbat he had tho right to performr it, not being under arrest, his su'ord -not. having been taken away. It was true that he had. been told that Gen. Brooke was tot take thto cotmmand, but Gon. Birooke was one thousand miles otT. He did it upon the principle of meet ing an enemy~ who was about to attack the city, ifthe city were attacked, notwith standing his orders to go 'o WVashington, le had 'jut one course to pursue, and that was to meet the enemy .and beat him and to save the city. Suppose he were to abandon the-city to its tate--and assign as the reason that lie had orders to go to Washington-would he not be runnuing atway from duty and incur thereby die grace?! Could lie quit Mobile undei- such circumstances, especially when it w as in his power to say -to a suitable officer, take the command, correct the disorder and proceed to the seat of war where your ser vices ore neededi To his aid, who ac':ed as Ass't Adij'z General, he woold refer for a full corroboration or this whole matter. " He remarked that he was pleased, as it was inuhis power, to-save the Court and himself the trouble of their hearing and reading twenty pagesawhich he had writ ten to show what he designed to substan tihte by the witnesses from 'New Orleans, as he found an extract in the prioted-Doc utment -which saved- them and him the as. cessity of' going over that ground-that Document was a letter from Washington, dated WarDepartmnent, 28th Angust,3845 --i which the statement -is made, "that requisitions for troups upon the Governors of the several States are vested-oaly in the President, and- restricted alone to him, ex cept its two or three 'specific-casees--cases all in which the emergenvcy must ber great, etheperil zimmineneto-the counrtTa his requisitionfor troops was in accordance with the principle dieclosed-that Gen. Talor and his army were in circumstan ces of exctreme peril and imminent dan ger-was a. fact too palpable to be contro verted-a fact which can be attested by thousands of our most intelligent citizens, both in Louisiana and Texas-and a fact, believed by the President himself, and by the National Congress, as is clearly dedu cible from the prompt measure recommen ded by him, and by them adopted as soon as General Taylor's exigencies were known. Having great reason to, appre hend that by a delay of ten days even, Taylor and his army might be cut off by the Mexican reinforcements-the emer gency contemplated by the War Depart. ment actually existed, and although be did not make requi-itions for troops, he nev ertheless communicated to the Governor the facts of the case and invited him, in anticipation of such a requisition being made, to accept the services of troops, which were accordingly mustered into service. General G. further remarked, that he cherished a strong desire to pass over all such matters as did not striCtly-come prop- I erly under the notice of the Court, but discovering certain documents communi cated by the President of the United States to Congress before the Court, he felt bound to notice such documents only in so far as they contained inferences unfavorable to his character and reputaion-his honor impelled him to notice them in connection with the subjects of investigation now be fore the Court. If he were a public pros- 4 ecutor, one disposed to enter the field of bitter acrimony. he might devote days and I months to the Herculean task to cleanse t the Bureau at Washington-hut fortunate-,i ly for hint, the task was saved him-the , dcunents emanating-from that Bureau t were a sullicient exposure of its own rot- t tenness, &c.
