Awful Calamity.?The sugar rc fining interest will be in clanger of e> tinguishment; for while refined suga now commands at least 12 1-2 cents ; pound, foreign refined sugar can be sol under the new law, at from 8 1-2 to \ cents per pound. Holland allows i bounty upon refined sugar, and the re finers in that country will, of course, b enabled to take us at advantage. U. S. Gaxclte. The clear admission is here madi that the people of this country hav< been paying nearly four cents a poun< on refined sugar for the protection of j very f..w manufacturers. We presurm U'hi>n a nnnr man is pnahtarl liprp.nffp to buy sugar four cents a pound cheapo than he has heretofore purchased it, hi will not be very ready to join the nev whig panic. If the repeal of the law o 1842 produces no greater misfortune than these, they can be readily borne It is worthy of remark, that while th< entire whig press of this country havi been laboring to show that high dutie: made prices lower, here is a clear ad mis sion to the contrary. It is also a remarable fact, and om that we need go no further than ou aoors 10 establish, that all those engage* in the business of sugar refining uncle former laws, have made enormous for tunes, and we suspect the reduction ii the duty in the new bill will be takei from the over-swollen profits of the ma nufacturers only. It is not remarkabli that while these vast gains are beint made by the manufacturer, the poo workman's wages stand still, but the mo ment there is a reduction in the duty o the foreign article, or any danger of i slight decrease in the profits, down g< his wagers!?Pennsylvanian. Effects of the new Tariff.?a New York paper says:?The passagt of the advalorem tariflTbill has createc considerable artivitv nt f'nctnnr House, and every man appears to be ir great hurry to get their goods through and into the market The cash entrie! have been unusually large. We hav< no doubt but that the month of Augus will be a very busy month at the Cus torn House, in the way of entries for im portation ; and after that the principle business will be entries for exportation as an immense quantity of foreign iner ' chandize will be exported during th< months of October and November, ' fo the benefit of drawback and re-importa tion, under the reduced ratevjf duty. a r* ? * a irienu m Washington hai sent us a package of Pennsylva nia papers, which had been for warded to Mr. Vicc-Presideni Dallas by the enraged monopolist; of his State. We have alread; published specimens of the coars< abuse heaped by the Tariff pres on the Vice-President and tha will suffice. But one of these pa pers has a manuscript note aroun< Its margin, addressed to Mr. Dal las, too characteristic to be passe< by. It calls his attention to thi scurillous editorial of the paper in this wise. "Traitor, read this, from om who was weak enough to trus you in 1844.

This re3 port, which was credited by few \ last night., is believed most genes rally now. 'I here is, therefore, the prospect of a peace with Mexg ico, at no distant day, provided the g Government of the I nited States s is not determined to carry on a war of rnnnnpst wifV* lVI?v5rt/-w ?? iVkt i?AV?AIViV/? This has been the determination, 3 but the war at this moment is r proving so burdensome upon the * treasury, that there is a disposir tion to pause before making any futher demonstration. 1 It is also said that mediation has been offered by England for the B settlement of our grievances with r Mexico, and that the Message ber fore the Senate has reference to . this. f The President sent to both i Houses of Congress to-day official 3 notification of the ratification of tbe Oregon treaty. In connection with the state of ^ aOairs with Mexico, I may add j that Mr. Slidell, the late Minister , to Mexico, has returned to this * city from Saratoga. It is rumored also that he will be selected lor s another mission to Mcxico, in 3 case terms of peacc are to be t made there," and perhaps other wise. It is said, as I close, that the 3 President suggests the propriety j of sending a Minister to Mexico si /? 11 wicn iuii power to make peace, it e he can secure California, even by purchase. This is a grave question and excites deep interest. s Tiie Trial of Gen. Gaines.?A correspondent at Old Point furnishps thft Nnrfnllr RponAn wifVi t the following abstract of the ses cond day's proceedings of the Court of Enquiry. i As orders and letters were read, s Gen. Gaines rose several times to t explain to the Court the circumstances connected with them. I Early in May, Gen. Gaines received information whir.h tn I j the belief that the Mexican army I B would cross the Uio Grande, (an , event which actually took place ' shortly after) and that their object 3 was to cut Gen. Taylor from his ^ supplies, certainly a move show- I f ing military skill. He knew that Gc.n. Taylor would be cut to pieces 1 rather than call for volunteers. He, Gen. G., was the commanding General of the Western Division. and felt it to be his sacred duty ! to make a requisition upon GoB vernors of States nearest the theatre of operations, for volunteers. The fact that Gen. T. achieved, with inferior numbers, a brilliant i victory, did not hv nnu ...oo I * J **",J ?? -? hut the necessity under which Gen. a G. was compelled to take the re" sponsihility he assumed. And the documents read to-day showed that before the government had received information of the battles of the 8th and 9th of May, the , Secretary of War had approved of - wnat is now regarded as not justified by the necessity of the case, g that is some of the unauthorized I requisitions for troops. Capt. Montgomery, of U. States Armyt one of the heroes of the Rio . Grande, has arrived here from Baltimore. Several officers from rjp * the army under Gen. Taylor are expected to testily before the r* f VUUlli ? #??? h The Court Martial on Captain e Thornton terminated on the 15th e ult.. and the general impression is s that he has been acquitted. The I. proceedings, however, will not be b made public until they have been e approved and confirmed by the " President at Washington. Major Andrk's Papers.?The Editor of the New York Sun says that last week lie. was favored j, with a sight of the papers iound [ in the boot of Major Andre when j he was arrested near Tarrytown. g They consist of a complete plan of West Point, a list of men on duty | in each place, and the orders of the day in ease of an attack, sign- l ed by the resj ective officers : there t are also half a dozen nnd , ? ?- I (. orders given by Arnold, to Joshua k Andiews and John Anderson, the ^ fictitious names assume . by Andre. t, The Sun says that these papers 1 are about to be engraved, (we trust in fac simile,) to enable eve- 1 ry man in the country to possess a j copy o! this record of the vilest crime committed during the revo- L lutionary war, and the narrowest r escape, made by our country, from ^ subjugation to the British yoke. j, ^Noutii Carolina Volunteers.? ] The regiment of volunteers called for by the President from the t State of North Carolina has been * completed by lot, and is now rca- 0 dy for anj' emergency that may f arise. The names of 32 com pa- ] nies were placed in the wheel, and ten (the number required) were 1 drawn therefrom. /Since then, we * learn, some six or eight additional companies have been tendered, - making in all about 40 companies which have volunteered their services in this ?State, where only ' ten where required.

The cotton, corn and sugar cane at Baton Rouge and some of the neighboring parishes are ruined, the season being so far advanced that even the best weather now would be of no avail in retrieving them. There is one incident connected with the history of Monterey, in Nuevo Leon, which is not generally known. The streets of that city, ' were paved by American prisoners, taken by the forces of Gen. Arredondo, from Mina's unfortu- 8 nate expedition of 1810, and ce- s mented with their blood. These * ...i.~ i i i-i MI i :? ?
