Gen. McDufile and the Cotton Circular
; Genii McEtaffie has recently published
a letter explanatory-arid defensive of the
Cotton Circular, which appeared some
time ago. He say is he Ts induced to do
io from the misapprehension whicii seems
to exist as to its object, and the denuncia
tions with which it has been visited ever
'. since its publication. This expose is cha-
racterised .by. that ingenuity and force
.xvhich marks every thing coming from
its author, and is well calculated to en
list the feelings, if it does not satisfy .the
understanding of thevSeuth, iii its behalf.
The. writer clearly demonstrates onar,
that if the South would adopt the sugges
tions set forth in the circular its banks
- Would be placed on a more solid founda.
tion than aqy others in the United States,
by giving them a. constant" supply of fo
reign exchange itscoticjn' planters would
be benefitted by the conversion of a larger
oportion oi their crops into cash, as soon
as it reached market, without the necessi
ty of irrrrnediate sales rboth the planter
' and merchant would be secured against
luinous fluctuationsarid lastly, our
Banks having control of the foreign ex.
change would necessarily acquire, thejdd
xntstic also.
Now our readers will remember that
Dr. Lirdner satisfactorily' demonstrated:
the impossibility of navigating the Atlan
tic by steam, yet, they kn01v7.it has been
" done -So we say, will the apparenly
sound and correct n-asoniug of General
McDuffie be overthrown whenever it
come? to be tested by the touch-stone of
practice. If' our Banks were to make
such advances to the cotton planter as the
circular , proposes, what?facilities could
they grant to one not engaged in the cot-1
' ton trade ? And are these inotitutions to
be toslered foe the exclusive benefit of the
rxitlon interest We will here give bur
readers an extract from the letter.
'A great apprehension is expressed,
- that this movement on our side, will pro
duce couniercombinations oh the other,
r Most ass redly, the charges made against
the "Circular," andlhe tone of the articles
published in some of our own journals,
are calculated to encourage and invite,
such combina jor.8 They charge upon
us hostile and offensive combinations.
when we propose only to assume a defin.
live position, to rtsist such 'combinations
V abroau, an j to 'avo:C' the 'necessity 'of glut
ting.lhe markets inf inoinei.ts oi panic or
temporary and unnatural depression.
They proclaim our weakness, and exag
gerate the po'ver of the adversary, as
much as to say to the European manufac
' tu res; now ; nolo nousl y combined to fo rce
down, the price of cotton, in the face of the
roost deficient crop ever made, 44 go on
gentlemen, regulate the price of cotton as
you please, any effort made, to resist you
by the poor, dispersed planters, will be
impotent arid credulous." If thre be
either nationality, patriotism, or truth, in
these statements and sentiments, rt escapt-s
: my perception. ; ... If it vert to come to a
win .of combinations, which (fod . forbid,
-. it is utterly untrue, that we should be pow
erless in such A contest. YVe'possess the
? Jocks of Sampson. Our cotton is absolute
ly indispensable to the manufacturing and
commercial nations of Europe and by
withttoldmg- a single crop, we could
A spread starvation and rebellion over all
the manufacturing 1 portions of Europe,
and cause the lordly capitalists, so much
dreaded, to cry ont lor quarters. A pret
ty story to proclaim a broad,. that the pro
ducers of our annual export of, $ 80,000,
000 of a staple, admitted to be equal to
so much bullion a staple too, which sus
tains nearly one half ot the entire com
merce : of England, are too impotent to
guard their own interests. -t If with such
t resources, our planters hate been feeble,
'j ' because, as your correspondent justly savs,
J they are widely dispersed it is the very
reason why they should, assemble togeth
er, ao aevise tne means of controlling
thir owe property, which every body
else has been too long in the habit of con
trolling, and using for their own purposes,
jj As to combinations abroad, they exis.
already, and have recently carried" their
power to the utmost stretch. They have
had to give way, and a reaction is alrea
dy commenced. The idea that other cot
ton countries will rival and supplant us,
. i utterly visionary; 1 said to an intelli
. gent merchant ot London, intimately ac
quainted with the East India trade, "how
'" is it that England hs never been able
to obtain a larger supply of cotton from
her East India possessions V He re
plied, Mthe difference of freight alone, to
say nothing ol other causes,, is sufficient
to account lor it." ' :
Saving. The Phil. U. States Gazette,
ays : M A friend, who has recently re
turned from a tour through the State of
New York, mentioned to us a labor sav
ing contrivance, that might be made
.economical in Pennsylvania; Along the
1 ine of several rail roads' he saw ru n n i ng
reer and a circular saw fixed to the
locomotives, and a man was feeding the
saw with wood, which was cut of the
right length, for the engine in an incou
ceiveable short period, thus iraking a
great saviog in thej expenditure of tae
rail; road. ; V ' .
U3 We call the attention of the intel
Jigent reader, to the account of a p rotes
cf the Duke of Wellington, to a very un
pleasant and dangerous enactment of the
British Parliament, which is to be found
00 our first page. t s
The British Clueen arrived io Nw
York on Tuesday last, in 17 days from
London, j The character of the intelligence
brought by her does not vary materially
from that brought by the Western, ajtho'
it is 10 days later.! There have been seve-
i r - f ,
ral changes in the British ministry,; and
Parliament has been prorogued. The
Tournament came off at the appropriate

see, for the satisfaction of our readers
The markets will be found under their
appropriate head. '
The departure of the 'Western' was
postponed until Saturday 3 o'clock P.! M.
in order that the merchants might have
the opportunity, of: replying to their dis
patches which came out by the Clueen.
As We Predicted. We learn of
the CharVston Mercury, that the Stock
holders of the Louisville, Cincinnati and
Charleston rail road Co. determined at
their late annual meeting to stop said road'l
at Columbia. Such an evidence of punic

excited feelings of bitterness in the other
States interested, towards her. We learn
that the debates in convention were tinc
tured with an acrimonious spirit.

TRINITY CHURCH, NEW YORK.
We learn of the Gazette, that the edifice
which is to .be erected on the site formerly
occupied by old Trinity, is to be by far the
finest specimen of ecclesiastical architec
ture ever seen, in the United States, in
speaking on this subject that paper says.
" The style, so far as we are capable of
Judging, will be purely and severely Goth
ic and ol the best school of that order.
The church will be one hundred and
eighty seven feet on Rector street, embrac
ing a chapel at the Vesiern f n'd, in which
will be placed the magnificent monument
of Bishop Hobart. The tower fronting'
on Broadway will with its spire be two
hundred and fifty seven feet high, and
more, than forty feet higher than any
other in the country.
The Tournament. The passage at
Anns at Eglimon Castle, did not! take
place on the j 29th of August, according
Vo appointment in consequence of a driv
ing rain-storm. For the same reason
there was no tilting on the? SOth. All
was in readiness, however, and the array
of chivalry assembled is .-gorgeously de
scribed. A new boat called the William Sea
brook, and intended to run' between
Charleston and Savannah, was launched
in the former city on Saturday.
A State Convention is to be held in

TheN. Y. Arnerican gives a spirited

Kile's Saftty Beam. An axle of a

the train was in rapid motion,! but as it
was one of Joseph Kite's patent beam

passengers, and the car passed on with
out interruption eleven miles to Wilrping
ton, after the accident We do not know
how extensively Mr. Kite's plan has been
adopted, but it strikes us that itis deserv

kind, resulting from the breaking of a

THE CASE OF THE AMISTAD.
The Cou rier and Enquirer contains the
following ;in regard to the proceedings in
the case olf the Amistad :
"During the sitting of the Court, the
Grand Jury came in and asked the direc
tion of the: Judge in the case of tne Afri
can prisoners who were indicted for pira
cy and murder which was under their
consideration. Judge Thompson told
them that the offVnee charged ha vinff been
commiUedl on board a vessel sailing under
foreign papers, it was to be treated as
Having been committed in the territory to
which shej belonged nd therefore the U.
S. Court had no jurisdiction.
On Saturdiy, Judge Thompson said
on the question of property there was no
doubr, That property in persons of the
African race was recognised by our laws
and the only qutstion to decide is whe
ther the District Court had jurisdiction
in this case. On this point he wished to
hear further arguments of counsel.
They in consequence addressed the court
for and against the. return to the writ of 1
habeas corpus till 8 o cIock in the even

morning, and then it is expected judg
ment will be given.
New York dates of the afternoon of

Queen, which are hot generally consid

The transactions here continued to a fair ex
tent, chiefly for exportation up to yesterday,
throughout which, however, the market was
again, quiet, with sales only to a very limited
amount prices have also remained without varia
tion; with regard to the above intelligence, it raay
be observed that sufficient time has not yet elapsed
to show- its influence upon the market. ( The sales
comprise 700tba!es UotahJ at 10 1-4 a 13 12,

throughou. at f.6,15, showing a further advance
for both on pi evious sales. On Hol'and, there
