’ The Royal Mailfsteamer Caledonia ar-
rived at Boston atffi olclock W'edi'iesday
morning, in 14» lffdays from Lit'ei'jiool.‘—
She had 95 passeilgers to Halifax, where
she left 9 and tool in 32, having 118 when
, she arrived at Boston.
Among the passengers in the Caledonia‘,
were the Rev.;Dr. Codinan of‘,D.o_rchester,
and Rev. Dr. Parkman ofBost‘on}~_-..
The Britannia, Capt Hewitt, arrived out
on the 25th, in 145 days from Boston. The
Great VVestern on the 18th, making the
passage in 18 days front New York, her
longest home voyage.
Parliament was prorogued,by the Queen
in person on Saturday the 16th, to 'll1m‘S-
9Q'd of Oct. next.
The most important news which the
Caledonia brings, is that concerning the
weather and the crops in Great Britain.—
Owing to the continual prevalence Of Cold
and wet weather, there is a general anxie-
ty respecting the harvest;
Trade in the manufacturing districts
continues generally brisk for the season.
The derriand for Cotton in the Liverpool‘
market continues good,,,without alteration
in prices.
The unsettled state of the weather had
infiueiiced the money market, and stocks
were rather drooping.
The produce markets continue active,
and on the week’s business \Vest India
Sugars have advanced fully 2s per cwt.
Mr. McLane has delivered his creden-
tials to the Queen, and Mr. Everett his let-
ters of recall. The American ambassador
was anxious to enter upon the object of
his mission t'7z.s-lanter, but as Lord Aberdeen
had arranged to accompany the Queen to
Germany, the commencement of iiegocia-
‘(ions was postponed.
Charles Dickens has returned from Ita-
ly. It is rumored that he will immediate-
ly bring out “Letters from ltaly."
Switzerland continues to be in a very
unsettled state and further ruptures are
expected.
It is interesting to contrast the tone of the loco
foco papers now on the subject of war with Mex-
ico, with what it was before the annexation of:
Texas was resolved upon by the party. As on
the question of the Tariff and National‘ Bank,
there is scarcely a locofoco paper at the North,
but what has been made to eat its own words.
The Albany Argus, which is now in hot haste to
urge ‘vigorous, offensive rneasures”against Mex-
ico, held the following lauguage only fifteen
months ago:
From the Albany Argus, of May Iltli, 1'8-14.
Do the People wis/i I-Var ?—-The \Vasli-
ington Spectator, Mr. Calhoun’s organ,
while landing Com. Stewart’s letter in fa-
vor of the immediate annexation of Texas,
alludes to the probability of a war with
Mexico, in atone of levity, if not ofjoy !
It would be well for such politicians to re-
member that wars are not as popular as in
former times. People begin to reflect and
compare its results before they plunge in-
to its measures. It is perceived that wars

t‘/ie lcxtlers and managers, w/2-2'le they cruslz.
and 2'mpover2'sli Ilze masses.
The trappings of the war horse and the
glitter of armed legions, tickle the fancy
and please the eye, but the people see that
they place at lemlen weiglit upon I/Le lumds of
/ionesl labor. It is for this reason that true
statesmen regard wars underta' on for sel-
fish purposes, as one of tlie gi'ea.’e.<-t evils

./Irriirals from (lie Orrgon.—Tlie ship
Inez, from the Sandwich Islimds, arrived
at New Bedford on Sunday. Among the
passengers in this ship were the Rev. H.
W. Perkins, lady and four children, ofthe
ll-‘Ietliodist Episcopal mission-at Oregon.-
A city goveriiineiit had been organized in
the lllillainettc Valley, O're_'__;on. The first
Mayor chosen is llrlr. George Abernethy,
formerly of this city, steward to the Meth-
odist Mission in that country.
The citizens of Oregon are anxiously
waiting for the printing establisliinent
which was sent out to them in the barque
Toulon. This vessel arrived at Callao on
the 19th of June, and was to depart in a
few days for the Sandwich islands and
Columbia River. Mr. Aberiiethy, at this
time, is probably acting in the double ca-
pacity of Mayor of Oregon and editor of
the Star of the \Vest.—Commercz'ril.
Olcl I-Ierirls for C0.’/nsc/.—A gentleman
wholeft ‘Washington yesterday, informs
us that Gen Gaines begins to be looked on
as non compos metztis. He has written to
the President for a hundred battalions,
with which he promises to plant the A-
merican flag in the capital ofthe Montezu- ‘
mas. It is said that the President has a
kind feeling for. the old man, respects his
patriotism, and remembers tlieservices of
his younger days, and hence is not inclined
to be harsh with him. General Gaines is
regarded in a military point of View much
as Mr. Ritchie is in an editorial. They
are both energetic young fellows ofseven.
ty, with more bravery than discretion, and
more zeal-thangjudgment. Our informant
says he hopes these Napoleons of the quil
and sword may not lead the administration
into a quagmire. Indeed it may be well if
the former has not already done so.

Fatal Accz'zlent.—VVednesday afternoon
about 3 1-2 o’clocl:,as some workmen were
removinga small building between Tam-
many Hall and the True Sun oflice,
known as Tammany Hall Junior, for the
purpose ef enlarging old Tammany, a side
wall andchimney fell, burying five persons
beneath its ruins. Henry Mcfiaughlin, the
foreman, was instantly killed, and John
VVelsh* so" severely injured that he died du-

lyn.
The coloredmen of New York State, by
conventions and otherwise, are making
zealous exertions for tlie-removal of the re-

a recent Tribune we stated the facts that a’
friend who had occasion to visit the Seve-
ral Manufactories’ of Newark, Paterson,
Elizabetiitotvii, &c.., found that of one hun-
rlretl II3'ltz'g Jllanufacturers not one had been
favored with a copy of Mr. Secretary Wel-
l.'er’s questions on the effects of the Ta-
rill", while the six Loco Foco Manufactur-
ers (only three of them Americ.ans)_ whom
he fell in with had each receiveda circular.
From these facts we drew the natural in-
ference that the whole pretended inquiry
was a cheat, got up to cover and justify a
forgone conclusion, as we doubt not it is.
Mr. “Talker and the Organ have too of-
ten given out what the result of their in-
vestigation will be, to leave any room for
doubt in the premises. Mr. W. may now
send Circulars to VVhigs if he chooses;
but all must see that he will never publish
but a portion of the immense mass of tes-
timony he will receive in answer to these
questions; that portion will main'y be such
as suits his purposes and squares with his
views, and the handling ofit will be [CCU-
liarly his own. The wholejob is a more
party juggle, to cover the breaking down
of the Tariff, and so the country will re-
gard it.~—Trz'bzme.
General Gaines Conrlcmned—.———Tlie Union
of Saturday night, 30th iilt., has the fol-
lowing condemnation of Gen. Gaines
“The fact is, that Gen. G. has acted
without orders; and, be his motives as
pure as they may, they cannot exempt
him from the censure of the Executive.
The command of the “army of observa-
tion” was given to Gen. Taylor, and Gen.
Gains ought never to have meddled with
his cotiiinand.”
The Argus learns from Scholiarie that
the treaty arrangements, by which the anti-
rent associations and Indian combinations
were agreed to be dissolved, and under
which the prisoners were discharged, are
considered as made in good faith, and that
they will be fulfiled. Already a large
number of Indian disguises has been sent
in, and other indications made of a dispo-
s tion to comply with the terms of the
treaty.

for raising Broad street four feet, and con-

with the style in which the stores are li e-

large Pine street houses have already made
arrangements for stores in Broad street in

Will some of the initiated be good
enough to give the meaning of the above

about as definite as Gen. Jackson’s ‘Judi-
cious Tariff,’ The Rev. Mr. Brownson
defined democracy to be ‘the supremacy
of man over his accidents.’ A revenue
Tariffmust be an impost which shall pos-
sess a supremacy over all fluctuations in
trade, -.1 catastrophe which an ordinary ad-
ministration cannot well prevent. Per-

1\-lit. EDITOR :—-I would ask the indulgence of
occupying alittle space in your paper on the
subject of Mr. Hawley’s lectures. When I heard
those lectures,l had not the mostdistant thought
ofbeing brought before the public on their ac-
count. And I very much regret that there should
be any necessity for it at present. ‘In what I
shall say on this subject, my int is, to do
it with candor and with courtesy. I
In commencing these lectures Mr. Hawlcy
said, he should be plain-——in some cases person-
al, and some might think severe. And we think
he has had the misfortune to employ language
that has fully carried out his designs. I have
conversed with those who are in favor of ilielcc-‘
iures, and yet do not pretend to justify the lan-
guage employed. In these lectures, Mr Haw-
Iey has not only used abusive epithets, but has
taken a course which is calculated to injuire the
interests of the Netliodists, in saying that the
liurclics belong to the ministry when tley do
not. And we feel called ipon to defend our-
selves againstsucli injury. For, if we are in‘
debt for our church, and he can persuade our"
people that they do not own it, and so disaffect

Mr. ll-.iwle_v has been accused of saying that the
Methodist l\-'linistrv_ hrve “r-r.uniles_s tlir.-iisands,
at tlicircommnnd.” And this we believe could
not be, without including the (‘.lll.1l'(‘ll(‘S. And al-
though he has been advertised that this is not
true, yet he has not attempted to sustain this po-'
sition. A mistake ofa few cents in rcr.koning,is
a small matter, but a mistake Of(?0lJnll(‘SSllI(lDS‘f
ands is a great iiiistaxe. \Ve think it would
take the nine diet-is several times repeated ; be-
side more than all the ciphers in creation to ex-
press it. _ Brit at this crisis l\'lr. Hawley has a"
friend who kindly steps in and sustains all the
positions he has taken. Now we arewilling to
acltiiowlcdge that Mr. Bouton is a good warm
hearted fellow in wliatevcr cn'crpri-e he enga-
ges, yet. “where the facts and parties are l-:nown,”
they will not want the information, that he is a
little hard of hearing. And although he is not
to blame for tl=at, yet, under the circumstances,
the public no doubt will be alile tojudgc of the‘
validity of the ti-stiiiunv, espvcially when we
consider tli:_it he linsa nczxative proposition to sup-
port. 'l'lie fact that Dca. Bouton, out ofsht-cr
kindness no doubt, has eiidorscd lioyond his cap-
ital or his responsibility. \Ve think also that it
will not be out ofplnce to state, that Mr. Bouton
in a conversation with mysclfsaid, “we do not
deny that Mr. Hawlcy has said what you iiiipute‘
to him. lint you put a wrong construction upon
it.” But what do we impale to Mr. Hawley ?
\Vliy, that he has not onlx discussed principles.
but cliuracler. Ifnot, why does he so often use
the term illctliritlist. and lVIt’lllO(llSl proaclicr.s,-
instead of Nclliodism ? But we will give a few
specimens of what he has said, and leave it for
the public tojudge.
In one of his lcctiircs, l\Ir. Ilatvlev has been
accused of mnkinga low and ungentlemanly al-
lusion to lllctliodist niiiiistcrs being cautioned in
the discipline ::r_raiiist.-too frecconversation with‘
wouiori. Mr. II. said. u licther this caution was
a peculiarity of Metlit:disni——wlietlier Metliodist
preat-liers had more need ofihis caution than oili-
crs, wrisnot for him to say; he would lcavcit for
IllL‘C0ll9_fE‘g51llOT1 to judge : and he said this insuch
a pcciiliar manner, that I afterwards objected to
him thatit was an inucndo against the charac-
ter oftlie Methodist preachers. He said he did
not intend it in that serse, though he did intend‘
it for 1'1-nn._i/, Well then, according to \Vebster,
z'rm.y is “a mode of speech expressing a sense’
contrary that which the speaker intends to con-
vey.” If Mr. H. did not intend to convey a sense
against the chastity ofthe Methotlist preachers,
and yctspokc ironically. then the speech itself
expressed a $871.96 against the chastity of the
Metliorlist ministers.
If Mr. Hawlev does not like this mode ofreas-'
oninglet him shift the argiiment.:ind say,tliat the
mode of spercli itsclfdoos not convey a sense a-
gainst tliecliaracter of the Mi-tliridist preachers ;l
,and then ifhe used it ironically, he used a liariii-'
gloss mode of speech with an i'ntm!z’nn to riflect
on the clms/i't_u ofthe Methodist preachers. Let
Mr. llawloy choose which of these alternatives‘
stilts him best. In either case he has reflected
on the c/m.<Iz‘tv ofthe Methodist preachers, and,
“PAGF.S nfs/iuflling explanations cannot allcr that
fact.” Ifl mistake not. the Rev. gentleman is;
bound fast by a cord ofhis own “inanufacluring.”
Again l\’lr. Hawlcy said that the people had
no rights, that the ministry had been using meas-
.ures to secure oppressive power over them ;- at
i
illlesltlflf‘. time they were telling the people that‘
iistthe inhabitants of'l‘exas, by citizens of about the wliarves, an hour or two previ- 5 they had all the rights and privileges that they
youglit to have. in a personal interview with’
iMr. Bouton, he allowed that Mr. I-lawlcy had"
,made both ofihese statctiicnts. Now if this. is‘
éso, Mr. l-l. has drawn the only conclusion which‘
h e cc-uld have-drawn, viz. that the ministry were
; “dishonest in their pretentious.” Iftlie ministry
; have been acting this double part, I do not blame’
, him for this conclusion. I only refer to it to show_
i that Mr. llawlcy has discussed c/iaractcr as well‘
as principles. \Vill Mr. H. say that the minis-‘
try could act in this manner toward the people‘
and act in the manner he has represented among.‘
tlieuiselves wiilioutacting the part ofa Jesuit,-
wiiliout being guilty ofthe basest hypocrisy ?-—"-
Surcly he will iiot—lie cannot, and yet forsooth
» he has not been discussing character.
Mr. lslawley said that the “Methodists Were’
more to be feared than the Catliolics.” “I do-
not say,” said he, “that they are as corrupt. But
this allows that that they are corrupt.” And he“
=argued that tterc was more danger from the for-
mcr than from the latter. But why are the
Catholics to be feared '2 For any good qualities’
they poSS,'~‘$S? And wh_vare the Methodist tobej
feared ? Is it for their /ioncsty .? or am’ good
qualities they possess? How is it possible that
this comparison does not affect the character of?"
the l\’IEll10~llSlS? Suppose I should say that the
Rev. Mr. Hawley was more to be feared than
.Imlrzs Iscarr-iot.’ though he was not as wicked.
Vtfould the pubic think that I meant this as an
cncomium, or‘ would they think that I merit it as
arcflec/ion, on the gentleuian’s character ? No
doubt the public would think that I merit the
latter. And yet it would be no nioreareflection
on his character, than his comparison was a re-
flection on tliecbaracter ofthe Methodists. A-
gain, Mr. Hawley saiel that the 1‘/lethr dist glo-
ricd in their 5/zame that they could cheat their‘
preachers. And yet this shameful abuse of the
Methodists does not affect their character. |
Take an other case. Mr. H. said that the‘
Methodists had gone farther in making garbled
quotations from the Calvinists, (referring to a
tract he had in the pulpit) than the Infidels of"
Triinmrmy Hall liadgdone in making garbled quo-
taiions from the Bible, to destroy its autlienticity_'.-
And be had said before, that the Methodists nev-
er preached on Calvinism without misrepresen-r
ting it. And yet the Methodists have been per-- -
fectlv honest in all this. Honest Infidels—hon--
est Methodists. Again, Mr. Hawley Said» that
the Methodists were brfalled and saddlediandic
mounted by the ministry. In a personal inter--
view with Mr. H. be told me that this was a se--
vere expression, and yet it was true. But what
is the uieaniiig of this expression ? If it means-
any thing, it means that the Methodists are not
only under the complete control ofthe ministry,
but that the ministry are exercising a most.
