CmturicoiETEttS.?The British governmorn allows a premium annually, of ?5,000 to the manufacturers of the best chronometers on a trial of 12 months. This valuable instrument has attained the highest state of perfection. At a recent award of premiums several were found to have erred in their ratio only 65, 63 and 79 hundredths of a second in 12 montlis. The 1st, 2d and 13d premiums were awarded to these three.? The great perfection this instrument has been brought to, convinces us that no vessel should be sent to sea without a good chronometer to aid in ascertaining the longitude. FlUunderwriters should insure at aless premium when good chronometers are on board the vessel to be insured. It is unusual for a British vessel to put to sea without a chronometer, and in many instances not less than three are carried, and in their ships of war always three, and frequently four. Baltimore Railroads.?We learn from the Gazette that the amount received for fr^itrht nn the main line of the Baltimore ? -- - ----- ? and Ohio Railroad during the month of August last, exceeded the receipts in August of the preceding year, #1,422 50.

Increase of Boston.?Rv the official returns of * he census just taken oftheponula tion of this city, it appears that in 1930 the population of the city was 61,391; in 1835 it was 76,603, showing an increase of 17,2'2*2 in five years. According to this rate Huston, in 1910, will contain more than 100.000 inhabitants, and in 1960, something like '250,000.

Bills of Exchange.?An Act has just passed the British Parliament, which settles a disputed point in regard to bills of exchange in that country, ;uid which ought, therefore, to l>c known to men of business generally. The point alluded to is that respecting acceptors or referees for houor in which no uiforni practice existed, some houses presenting the bills so marked on the day when they became due, and others the day after. It is declared, however, that it shall not be necessary to present such bills of exchange until the day following that on which they become due, and if the address of the acceptors or referees for honor should be in any other place than that in which the bills shall be made payable, they need not he forwarded until the day succeeding that in which they became due. If the following day shall be either Sunday, Good Friday, or Cliristmos-day, they need not be presented or forwarded until the day succeeding such day of non-busiuessfJV. Y.

The establishment of an express mail between New York and New Orleans by the way of Washington, which is in contemplation, seems to us to be liable to serious objection. As the Post Office Department was created for the benefit of the entire community and not for any particular portion, it would seem unjust to make a discrimination, in the transportation of letters, between the wealthy and persons not in affluent circumstances. The imposition of a triple postage will operate seriously to the disadvantage of those possessed of only limited means?men beginning life, who cannot submit to extra expense?whilst large operators, men of capital, will be enabled to receive their information in advance of the regular mail by paying what to them is an amount not worthy of consideration. The reasoniug of the above paragraph from the Baltimore American would apply as well to all mail accommodation as to the express mails Tiptthpn the mails be discontinued al together because they give an advantage to the man able to pay postage over him who is not. All expense in support of a navy for the defence of commerce is also wrong because it is only for the benefit of the merchant who has wealth or credit enough to engage in foreign trade. The expense of keeping tip public roads ought also to be dispensed with because these roads are of greater advantage to the man who can afford to travel in his carriage, or who sends the produce of his farm to market in his wagon or cart than to him whose poverty compels him to dispense with these conveniences ; and indeed all expense of government, and all government itself ought to be #Uc/*nntinupd. hecnuse the benefits cannot be I equally distributed among all members of the | community.

Mr. Editor: T imo nln.icpd to spe an extract from A n uu - - -rw- ? __ tho Semitic?, of Newbern, N. C., copied into the last number of your paper, on the subject of an enterprise commenced by Capt. Taylor, of the Texian Navy, (a native of the town alluded to;) which was to raise in the South a sufficient amount of money to purchase and lit out a Brig of War, in some northern city, for the purpose of aiding Texas in her present struggle for independence. To a person at i all acquainted with the present weak state of the Texian Navy, little need be said as to the expediency of the undertaking under consideration. Should Texas have not a larger number of armed vessels this winter, there is good reason to apprehend that her ports will be blockaded and supplies cut off. It is under[ stood that the Mexicans have made and are ' still making strenuous exertions to regain o o their lost territory; not only by multiplying their land forces, but by procuring a considerable fleet of armed vessels to prevent all intercourse with Texas by sea. While thousands of spirited Americans have rushed to the res-, cue, and are now swelling the ranks of the Texian army, but little has been done in a Naval point of view. An armed Brig, especially when commanded by an experienced and daring seaman, would be no small acquisition to the Navy of Texas. Capt. Taylor, when last heard from by the writer, was in Montgomery, Ala., having already raised about 816,000. We suppose the amount required by the enterprise will be 850,000. He has probably by this time reached Augusta; and intends visiting unarieston in nis tour northward. Thus affording to the citizens of these, and other cities that he may revisit, an opportunity of evincing their sympathy in the sufferings of an infant but dauntless nation, endeavoring to throw off the yoke of an unprincipled and blood-thirsty enemy.

A great national ball-play took place, a few days ago, in a remote part of the Cherokee nation, where it is supposed, their plans were developed to the great body of the Cherokee people. But nothing has as yet happened, or is like to happen, to disturb the slumbers of the good people r a _1 ?? r* " - or ;\TKaiis<uj. ?uazenc. From the Mobile Commercial Register, Sept. 14 Erom Lieutenants Grason and Dunn, of the United States Army, we have received information of the arrangements made by Gen. Jessup for the prosecution of the fall campaign against the Seminoles. About the 1st of September, the Tennessee troops under Gen. Armstrong marched for Tallahassee. On the 10th, the regular troops i t ... c? n: i i- ? w?. uuuer vxeu. j etc up, were iduiug uaciv on r on Mitchell, preparatory to their embarkation for Florida. The force destined for the campaign consists of 600 regulars, 500 marines, 1,000 Creek warriors, 1,600 Tennessee volunteers * now in service. These troops with the exception of the Tennessee company, which proceeded by land, will be transported down the Chat tahoochee, and thence in Steamboats, which steps have been taken to have at Appalachicola by the 25th instant, to Fort Brooke, Tampa i Bay- x . The Indian warriors engaged by Gen. Jessup confidently predict that there wDJ be no fighting. They say that the Seminoles will surrender, as did their people, when they see arrayed against them those who know how to fight them, and from whom, instead of opposition, they have all along expected countenance and co-operation. It is to be hoped these predictions will be verified. For two . months to coine, noxious damps and unwholesome vapors will brood over the swamps and everglades of Florida, more deadly than tho In/lion T Tn/lni? /tiMiiimaftnAAH wn/v lauiau iiiiu* vuuLi ouuu i/uvuiiiouiuoc^ uu?r may well wish that a speedy termination may be put to the Indian difficulties in that quarter and the brave fellows who have been sent on the arduous service be permitted to return to their firesides and their friends.

From reports which have reached me I am induced to believe that our situation is, unsafe; some Cherokces with the native Castilians, have returned to tiw Cherokee village, from Matamoras, and say that the Indians of the Prairie and a Mexican force are about to attack this portion of Texas. The counties of 8an Augustine, Sabine, Tanahaw and Beval as well as Nacogdoches, will forthwith organize . r n mt- /.111 ? ! tne xTiuiua oi eacn i^ouuiy. xne louowmg requisitions are made to sustain the United States force at this place until reinforcements can arrive at this place from Gen. Gaines, viz : Sixty-four from San Augustine, fifty-sirjrom Sabine, and thirty-three from Bevu. Hie troops will repair to this place, with the least possible delay, and report to the commanding General as soon as they arrive. This call is made through the judges of the several counties, and must be regarded as the law of the land; the troops will only be detained a few days, so soon as Gen. Gaines can send reinforcements to this place, they will be discharged. Let arms and amunition be brought, at least one hundred rounds are requested. The commander-in-chief will be with the freemen of Texas. I f they have to meet an enemy all the men of Texas most have their arms in order ?to have liberty we must be watchful (Signed) SAM.
