This event has been the subject of extraordinary
excitement, both in England
tand in France. But the numerous enemies
of the bank of the U. States, who, both
in London and in Lincashise and York,
shire, were exul'ing in the supposed downfall
of the institution have now found that, on
the contrary, the result of ihe aff'iir has eminently
strengthened the credit of the insiitution
: all parties now agreeng, that if Mr.
Jaudon when suddenly called upon, could
provide security tor 7,000,000 ol fiancs, extraneous
entirely to his own|urrang?mentsof
every description, and could give tie greatest
capital s *. in the whole world for the
compnrht ve!y unknown house of Ilottingeur

On the subject of the weather and harvest
in Lngland, the accounts by the Liverpool
i steam ship are unfornately to be of the very
gloomiest kind. Suce the date of my letter
by the Cambridge packet ship of the 7th i >s\
which informed you of the melancholy appearance
of every thing on the ground, the
weather has been even worse during the
whole of 'lie succeeding lime. Daily, lor
the last ten days, we have experienced rain
in considerable quantity during t'?o whole
of the twenty-four hours ; but on Saturday,
Sunday, and Monday last, the town's were
greater than in any month of September
within the memory of man. Real summer
or autumn, there has b .en indeed none in
England ; and the ceis qu< nee, is that the
prospects of the harvest are of the most alarming
description at the present time. In
Ireland, Scotland, the higher disiricts of
Wales and the counties of England north
of the Humber, there is now no doubt that
the cr ps will te deficient at least one third,
and probably one half, as already mentioned
;?but so green and backward in tin s
parts of the kingdom is every description ol
grain, that without an immediu'e and very
decided change in the wea her, there is more
than the possibility that marketable bread
studs there will be absolutely none. In
the more southern couuties of Essex. Sussex
and Kent, there is * considerable portion
of the harvest secured in moderately
good condition ; but those counties lorui
only a small proportion of the kingdom at
largo and even there an average crop can
scarcely be said to have be<n secured.
The weather this morning is ru'her bri"h.

ler ai intervals, uui mc mr 19 mu se una iik
wind steady in the southwest and south,
from which rainy quur ers it has not, indeed,
changed for more than three months.
The consequence of the unfavorable prospects
of the harvest has been a rapid rise in
the value of every description of grain je
Market; and ho advance being 5>. per
quarter within the last five days, and the
London averago for the week 76 s, 4 I.; buf
the general average'of the sx wiekshuv
ing not reached 72s, the duty 011 foreign
wheat rema ns at 6s. 8J. par quarter, on J
4s per bbl. of foreign flour of 196 lbs. It
is now, however, certain that the duty will
speedily fall to Is., and that there will be,
throughout the winter a free importation into
England of foreign flour and corn. 1
The cotton markets, however, are fi mly
sustained both in Liverpool and London ;
as in Loudon, though the sales are not extensive,
the importers remain firm in their
demands.
There is no important home intelligence
of a miscellaneous kind ; but the civil war
in Spain is at length brought to a close, Don
Carlos having fled into France, and his ar- my
totally routed an I ti peraed. (
A most melancholy accident happened
in Cumberland cn the morning ofilio ?lection,
which threw a gloom over the town.
Mr. Henry Folck, one of the most amiable
as welt as enterprising citizens, killed him-1!
self about 81-2 o'clock, by the accidental
discharge of his rifle?the ball entering the
right eye, and passing entirely through the

New York, Oct. 10. ,
France has acknowh-dged the independ. t
ence of Texas, as is staled now in all the ,
Paris papers. . I
Do i Carlos's party in Spain is v h >llv |
defeated, and he has fid to France, and ,
was on his way to Paris. This has been |
brought about, the Opposition in England
and France say, by money working with
one of hib Generals. What the French
Government will do with him, or for him, !
is now a matter of some controversy in tha
Paris journals. It is fortunate, no matter
how it was brought about, thai the horrible
civil war in Spain is coming to an end.
In France thete had been somo riots on
account of the high price of corn, but tliey
were not serious. Paris was tranquil.
Cotton was a little lower than by the last
advices, and the tendency of the market was
downwards.
A widely extended conspiracy is said
to have been discovered in a Russian corps
on its march to Poland. Five hundred ofli.
cers were arrested at once, it is stated, and
X
two hundred were confined in the dungeons
at Warsaw.

r Mob Law at Cincinnati.?On the night
of Friday, tho 27th ult., a mob of thirty
or forty persons, in disguise, attacked the
frame dwelling of Dr. Woodward, the colored
physician who cruelly flogged two
women, in order to cure them of insanity.
The mob tore out the front of the house,

which, with the furniture, they put in the i
street, and set fire to. The engines were ]
c-.ll.-d out, but, on observing whose proper- |
ty it W is- no attempts were made to rescue j
it from the flames. An attack was also |
madeon a flue new br ck house adjoining,
which Woo'lwaid was erecting, but a cry in
tho crowd that the workmen had not been 1
paid, prevented any further injury. The 1

THE COTTON CROP. <
A gentleman who has travelled quite exten- .
pively over the cotton growing region during
the present season, gives it as his opinion, for. 1
mod upon accurate personal observation, that 1
i he crop of 1839 will be one third shorter than j
the crop of lt38. The causes assigned for .
this deficiency are, first a protracted drought
in the spring that was severely felt through 8
the whole south. Then the rains which sue- (
ceeded the drought, fell in such torrents as to f
cat so many of*-the forms to drop. The worms } |
also about this period did vast injury in many
pa te of the country. If the latter part of the
season had proved propitious, the harvest might 1
still have been an average one ; but a drought, e
only equalled by the dry spell of the spring, t
has, until within a few days at least, pervaded ?
the south, causing the weed to shed not only
the forms but, the youngs bolls also. As a dry F
reason is favorable to cotton in Louitiana, 1
where the land is chiefly alluvial and moist,
the product here may not fall much short? j
but in every other state the deficiency will be
as greet as is repr?*entr*?m. o. Bum,imi.

DEATH BY POISON. n
A melancholy incident occured on the I
#th inst. near the Red Lion Tavern, Penn. ii
about 12 miles from Wilmington, Del. A t
young m.in named Mendenhall, son of n j,
respectable member of the Society of
Friends, took a quantity of poison, and after- '
wards wen' into u fish.pond to bathe. But f3
the poison deprived liiir of the proper use ^
of his limbs, and he immediately sank, and 8
before relief, could be ufforJed he was dead, t
The person who sold him thepoison, knew s
lhat ho was going to swallow it. He fel- r
ows the business of selling poison under u o
'icense from the Slate. 6
All such establishments nre conducted 8l
under authori\y of law. by a set of men who r(
mostly k II themselves with their own poison.

who are ashamed to do ihe work them a

subordinates. Tins whole nrmy ofpoison 0
venders, form a privileged class, in the ser- n
rice of the S;ate. The State employs E
hem to th n out the population, and keep p
jp the business of courts and juries; and a
to supply the subjects for jails and poor e
houses, which would be liable to become de. ^
serted if the patronage of law were withheld ^
from the traffic* in alcoholic poison.

The Suspension.?The banks have again
suspended specie payments. The Philadelphia
banks led in the me as ire, and were followed
by the Baltimore, Richmond, and most
of the Charleston banks. All the southern
and western, and probably also all the northern
and eastern banks will be obliged to follow the
example. The reader will find a brief state
ment of some of the reasons which were be- wl:
lieved to call for such a coursa in the extracts dui
from Philadelphia papers to be found in the of
preceeding columns. The people now know tru
that suspension of specie payments is no more did
an evidence of insolvency in a bank than it is
Evidence of insolvency in a planter that he has
not in his pocket or his drawer gold and silver 7^
to meet ail his debts. The notes of our banks 5/j
will still be as good as they were when re- ?jg
Jcemcd with specie, and will answer the pur- fW(
poses of the farmer and mechanic ju6t as well. ar?
rhey will procure the same amount of broad -pf,
and meat, and the bread and meat will be as 2yi

he pockets of brokers and dealers in exchange* rar
The evil at la6t falls upon the farmers and to
ilanters, the dupes and pack horses of office sa
10 der9 and office seekers.
Is this a necessary state of things? Is it rel
mpossible in the present improved qtate of
, , i -a? piusent facility and T
apidity of intercourse and transportation be- anr
ween the remotest sections of our country, to jal(
naintain a uniform and sound currency??\Co
'ast experience most conclusively proves that (
t is not. To a United states bank, constitu.
ed like the two former, there are strong, if not O f
nsnperable objections; that the immense str
>ower for evil, as well as for good which they
losses ed, was not corrnp ly exercised, is to
ie ascribed rather to the integrity and good M.
ense of the directorship, than to want of temp- am
ation or opportunity. The constitutional oh.taclo
f to a United States bank could be easi y ap{
emoved, and an institution could be set in for
peration which should be both effective, and ?UI
afe This could be done and the Sub.Treasury c"er
cheme of keeping and disbursing the public jn j
evenue ho still adopted, if the country should mg
ee fit. The Sub-Treasury and currency ques
ons have been so long incidentally blended, D
Jat the public have come to look upon them ?rn
s one ; bu: so far firom this, they are in no ^
espect necfesarily connected. The revenue

lent of incidentally regulating the currency. M'i
!ut if, as experience would s iem to prove,mere da
oliticious in this country are too prone to
buse such power when its direct exercise is
ntrusted to them, it certainly need Hot be
one. Let the money of the office holders
e kept to itself locked up in strong boxes, till ~
i ts paid out to them, if it can be kept in that Be
ray. The country is ten thousand times more
nterested in maintaining a sound, stable, uniarm
currency, than in ihe petty (or what out Be
o be a petty) question, how an t by whom the '*a
noney for office holders is to be k- pt and dis ursed.
For this is but a statement in other Co
erras of the Sub-Treasury question. The
federal Government has no right under the j^'
institution to collect or handle, or hoard in Ko
my 6ub-treasury or super-treasury, one cent
>f money ercept merely what is necessary to
)ay its officers and servants. Let these offi- ?
:crs quarrel about the manner of keeping this I"
nrney, and scramble for it if they will; and
?ven if, like certain hungry squealing tenants La
Df every farmer's enclosures, the strongest and ^
dcetcst secure the greatest share, let not the
whole people of this enlightened and gr at na- \i,
tion confound with so mean a question one ?
upon which depends the stability in value of ^
their labor, their lauds, their houses, and their , tii
entire possessions. Oi
Judge Buel, the able and distinguised editor ?
of the Albany Cultiva or is dead. On his
way to New Haven, Conn, whither he was Po
going to address an Agricultural meeting, he
was arrested on the 6iti. inst. at Danbury, _
by sickness which in eight or ten days proved rsu
fatal. There are hundreds of men in the land Sa
whose names are better known to the great
mass of even intelligent agriculturists,?who ?
have been more bespattered with fulsome ?
praise by a frothy public press, and whose
death would be much more extensively deplo- _
red; but wc are sure we do not say two much T<
;woet anu as nuirmvc.
The demand for specie which caused the
Philadelphia and Baltimore Banks to suspend ^cV
;vas of course greatly increased by the sus- r
jension itself; heavy drafts were immediately Yo
sent to Charleston, which, if suspension had pci
lot taken place there, would ioimediately be (
allowed by others that would soon drain the j,
janks of all their specie; and then, of course an
>ayment in specie would be impossible. Every ?
>ne knows that it is better to suspend now
han be obliged to do it a few days or weeks ?
lenre under circumstances much more disad- . J
rantag?ous. The only persons whom a short
lelav could benefit would be speculators. The <
lufferers would not be the banks only; but ml
hrough them, also the community at large. th?
In these remarks we would not be under- Cl>l
itood as meaning that suspension itself is not ^
in evil. It is an evil and a great one, but j
nevitable in the circumstances. In addition the
i....
o the numerous other ill effects, it will cerwh
ainly derange the currency of the country (j0(
till more than it has been, and increase the be<
j.-emiums on exchange. No merchant who jurchases
goods at a distance can pay for
;hem, even when he has the cash in his p >ck?t,
anu is going in person to the very counting Co;
louse of his creditor, without first exchanging Yc
lis money at a heavy premium. The merchant
;annot be the looser in this expense. It is mj|
:>art of the cost of his goods, and must be ta- 1
ien into the account when fixing th^ price at the
which he can aff<jrd to sell th? m ,?aye, he is
mtitled to his profit, and must have it on this
is on other items in 'he cost of his slock. And
who then is tne looser ? The consumer, the stc
ast purchaser of the goods. Every man,
jarticularly at the south and west, ? ho buys a n
rard of broad cloth, or of linen or silk ; or a (jd
