      The New York papers to the 23 d ult . have been brought by the packet-sMp New York , Captain Cropper , in nineteen days . This arrival furnishes papers seven days later than those brought by the s ; eam-ship Acadia . The news by this arrival is not of great importance . Several incendiary fires had taken place on the border . Some American rebels had destroyed some barns and other buildings on the Canadian frontier as an act of retaliat-on . The New York press are again busy upon the ? ubject of slavery ships and the right of search by Grtat Britain . This further cause of dissatisfaction arises out of the circumstance of an American slaveship ( the Creole ) having put into Nassau , the details of which were known some weeks since . The owners of the ship demand compensation .

      The Annual Treasury Report has made its appearance , which is thus nttictd in . a Washington paper : " The state of the Treasury is , of course , the same as it was represented to be in the President ' s ni £ isage to Congress ; that is to say , there will be an estimated deficiency in the Treasury on the 1 st of January next , requiring immediate provision to meet it , of 627 . 559 dols ; which deficiency is caused by the failure to obtain the necessary amount of the twelve million loan , in consequence of the shortness of the time which it had to run .

      " Mr . Secretary Ewicg , when he asked for the loan to relieve the Treasury from incumbranoes left by the late Administration , recommended that it should be authorised for a term of eight years ; but , in passing the Loan Bill , Congress limited the loan to three years , too short a term to invite investment of funds in it by capitalists . This deficiency the Secretary recommends shall be provided for by immediate authority being granted to issue Treasury notes to the required amount .

      " For the next year ( 1842 ) the receipts into the Treasury ( excluding the proceds of the Fades of public lands ) are estimated at 19 . 200 , 000 dols ., from which is to be deducted 627 , 559 dols ., the estimated deficiency at the end of the present year . The expenditure for the year , including the amount necessary to redeem seven millions of outstanding Treasury notes , are estimated at 32 791 , 010 dols . ; leaving to be provided for , on account of the expenditure of 1842 , the estimated sum of 14 , 218 , 570 dollars .

      " To meet this deficiency in the revenue for 1842 , the Secretary recommends " to congress to authorise an extension of the term of ihe portion of the twelve million loan Rot yet taken , and a re-issue of the Trensurv notes heretofore authorised by law , amounting to 5 , 000 , 000 dols . ; the balance of the deficit in the ways andmeung , together with 2 , 000 , 000 dols . ( a surplus deemed necessary to be in the Treasury to meet emergeEcies to the public service ) , to be" supplied from imposts upon such foreign articles imported into the- United States ' as may be selected with due regard to a rigid restriction iu amount to the actual wants of the Government , and a proper economy in its administration / " The report then goes into an argument upon the principles which ought to govern the

      adjustment of the tariff to ihe wanti oi" the Goverinent . " The Uai : ed States Parliament coi-tinue its sittings in the Stiiaie . The most important circumstance that had occurred , was the resolutions of the Whig senators , or a majority of them , to take into favourable consideration the fiscal plan of the President . The tariff question had been broached , and to some extent discussed in the houte , though on a sort of feigned issue . The first movement had also been made by the opponents of the bankrupt law for the repeal of th * t statute . -It"is the opinion of many that the plaa submitted by ihe Secretary for a fiscal agent will differ in several important particulars from the outline sketched by the President , and , among other points of difference , that it will not contain the clause authorising the dealing in bills of exchange .

      Tne news from Texas is to the 8 : h ult . The revenue of ihe past year , received and expected , is estimated at 1 , 195 ; " 269 83 in Texas notes , or 166 , 666 dollars in par fund ' . Should the present ^ y 3 tcm of retrenchment proposed be adopted , the annual expenditure of the Government will be reduced to 100 , 000 dollars , which will give an excess of the income over the expenditure . Besides , an increase in the revence of about 40 , 000 dollars is expected for the current year . CASE OF THE BRIGjCSEOLE . ' FTr'S

      ( From the New lork Journal of Commeree . J Some ^ ays sinee we published a letter fromNassau , giving information of the arrival at that port of the American brig Creole , bound from Richmond to New Orleans , with a cargo of Elaves and tobacco , the shms iaving risen upon the crew and taken possession of the vefEel . It was also stated that most of the slaves had been liberated by the British authorities at Nassau , and that several of them had taken passage for Jamaica . New Orleans papers ot the 4 ih instant contain further particulars of the transaction , which are here subjoined : —

      u brifc Creole , CapUin Ellson , of Richmond , bonnd for New Orleans , with a cargo of tobicco , 155 Elaves , and four or five pa ? seDgers , was , on the 7 : h ultimo , taken possession of by the slaves , who rose and mutinied , killJDg and wounding several white persons . It appears that , on the 7 th ultimo , at eight pjD ., the brig was hove to , in ihe belief that she was approaching Abaco . The next day , after the passeEgtrs aedcrew not on duty had retired , at about half-past nine , p . m ., the slaves mutinied and murdered a passenger named Hewell , owner of a portion of the slaves , by stabbing him with a bowie Irnife . They wounded the captain and one of the hands dauscrously , the chief mate and another of the hands ' severely . But little defence could be made , as the victims were totally unprepared for aa at-

      Untitled Article

      tack , and had but one musket on board , while the slaves were armed with pistols , knives , and bludgeons , made by cuttinguphandspikes . There isreaspn to believe that the whole plot was arranged before ' . tt&j [ left Richmond . T' C" - - ** Having obtained possession of the Vessel , (( hey broke open the trunks and ransacked the tfhole cargo . They spared the lives of the mate , passengers , and a part of tbe crew , on condition that they should be taken immediately to Abaoo , an English island . Foreed to obey , the crew set sail and arrived at Nassau , N . P ., on the 9 th . ult . On landing , the American consul had the Captain and two of the men immediately taken on shore , and their wounds dressed , while every- attention was paid to the wounded on board . The consul likewise reqnested the Governor of New Providence to place a guard on

      board to prevent the slaves from going ashore , as he well knew that if this was not done , it would ba impossible to secure the guilty perpetrators of the < murder . The request of the consul : was granted , and an investigation of the affair was conducted by two magistrates of Nassou . The captain also took the testimony of the passengers and ortw . Nineteen slaves were identified as having participated in the mutiny and murder . Th « y were placed in confinement until further ordera , the governor refusing to have them sent to America under the circumttanoes . The remainder ( 114 ) were liberated by her Majesty ' b authorities , on the ground that the slaves must be considered and treated as passengers , having the right to land in boats from the shore whenever the / thought proper . The captain is doing well , aud will probably recover . "

      ( From the New Orleans Advertiser . ) - This affair of the Creole is the . cap Bheaf of British aggression upon the American rights . It strikes at the root of Our intercourse with Great Britain , and overturns at ono blow all our relations , amicable and commercial . If it be not promptly discountenanced , and ample reparation immediately made by her Majes-y ' s Government , there can be but one course for the U&i ted States to pursue—a courseihai the pride , honour , aud dignity of the nation will sternly demand the execution of . The whole account of this nefarious transaction on the part of the British functionary will startle the public , and excite a strong feeling of indignation in the brea 6 t of every American citizen .

      CONSUMPTION OF SMOKE . On Wednesday last , an important meeting was held in the Musio Hall , Albion-street , Leeds , Wm . Beckett , Esq ., M . P ., in the chair , to consider the practicability of effectually preventing or burning smoke . It iB due to Edwin Eddison , E ? q ., the Town Clerk , to say that the meeting was got up by ' his exertions , and that he has been indefatigable in getting together all the information that could be obtained on the subject , as well as an exhibition of the models of several patentees . These plans and diagrams were exhibited in the meeting room , on Monday and Tuesday last , to all who chose to inspect ihem , and either the patentee or some one on his behalf was present to explain each at the public meeting .

      William Beckett , Esq ., I-. I . P . took the chair at twelve o ' clock . He expressed the satisfaction he felt at being honoured to preside over a meeting on an object of so much importance to the heahh , comfort , and well-being of the town as tho one for which they were now assembled—that of divesting the atmosphere of its impurities , lie hoped successfully ; it was an object in which the comforts and enjoyments of life were involved , and the feeling was daily gaining ground on the public mind that the present state of the atmosphere in manufacturing towns waa suffered to exist as it did mo « t unnecessarily , He hoped , therefore , that the result of that meeting would be not only the formation of an association for Leeds , but thai its-ramifications would extend iuto every manufacturing district in the country .

      The Town Cierk read the circular which he had addressed to different gentlemen , and by which the meeting bad been , called . Mr . Dkesser , of Leedr , on behalf of Mr . Thoa . Hall , described that gentleman ' s parent ; previous to which h ^ entered into a chemical analysis of the properties of coal , and of the nature of combustion . As it would be impossible without a diagram to render the explanation sufficiently intelligible , we content ourselves with merely saying that the plan consists in a division formed longitudinally along the boiier in the fire-place , thus forming two furnaces , which are fired alternately , and , by means of a damper behind a transverse bridge , the smoke and gases arising from the fresh fuel in one furnace are destroyed by passing over the bright fire of the other .

      In answer to questions , Mr . Dresser Btated that Mr . Hall ' s boiler had been in-use twelve months , and had sustained no injury whatever from the application of the parent ; he could not Btato the saving of fuel , though he bplieved that was admitted ; and tho kind of coal used had been

      Gasgoi ^ nee . Mr . Tatha * ( of the firm of Tetley , Tatham , and Waker ) &aid they had tried tho plan , aud it had failed with them . Couid Mr . DrtsEer account for it ! Mr . Dresser paid it had not a fair trial . Xlr . Tatham—So far as my own opinion goes , I think the apparatus is worth nothing . Mr . C . W . Williams , of Liverpool , next submitted his plans to the meeting , which were in operation at various places , and everywhere with success . He ridiculed the idea of smoke being consumed , and

      said it was impossible to consume it . His plan was to prevent its formation , and for this purpose he injected into the iuruace a quantity of air sufficient for the purpose , through a series ot holes in an iron plate , by which the gaseous nature of the coal was entirely subdued before it formed into smoke . His patent had been tried two years , with all kinds of coal , but with what saving of fuel he could not tell . The expence of adopting it to boilers already fixed wouM otdy be the expence of the iron plate and the fixing , exclusive of the patent right . He was not sure it could be adopted where Stanley or Branton ' s fire-feeders were in use .

      Mr . Rodda , of Cornwall , who said he had been a practical smoke burner for three years , was next introduced . His plan has been is operation for two years and a half , with all kinds of coal , and has effected a saving of fuel varying from nine to twenty-five per cent-, though he would not engage for a grealer saving than from ten to twelve per cent . It involved no injury whatever to tbe boilers , and the expense of its adoption would not amount to more than £ 3 . exclusive of patent right , the cost for which varied from £ 3 to £ 00 , according to the size of the engine .

      Mr . Bell , of Edinburgh , next described Mr . Iveson ' s patent , vhich has been in use three years , with considerable saving of fuel , and without auy ill effect to the boilers . He offered to apply it to any boiler , on the principle of " no cure no pay . " Mr . Chaster , of London , paid his plan embraced not only the prevention of smoke from steam engine chimneys , but also from dye-houses , and every description of close grate ., He had six different patents , the last of vyhich was the most effective , and had only been iu use for six month ? . Mr . Holdfobth said he had tried this plan , and found it to answer to the extent of 6 8 ihs of the smoke . Mr . Dbew , of Manchester , also explained his apparatus , which consisted in the adoption of two sets of bars in the grate , and which were made to rise and fall . This was not much noticed .

      The various plans having been most ettentively examined , and their var ous wants and defects inquired into and pointed out , Mr . Baines proposed tho following resolution : — " That , in the opinion of this meetiDg the smoke arising from steam eagine chimneys can be consumed in most cases without any injury to the boilers , and with a saving of fuel . " Dr . MoLESWOnTH , of Rochdale , seconded the resolution , in doing which he congratulated the meeting on the step which they had taken and hoped throughout the country similar meetingi would be held and corresponding associations formed to what waB then intended . The resolution was carried with six or eight dissentients . . Mr . Taibam and other gentlemen , saying they had not heard anything that day to convince them of its entire practicability .

      Dr . Hook propo-ed the next resolution for the appointment of a committee of such gentlemen of the town as took au interest in the consumption of smoke , with power to add to their number , for the purpose of enquiring into the best mode of preventing the nuisance , and to report thereon from time to time to the public R . M . Milnes , Esq ., M . P ., reconded the resolution , which * was carried unanimously . H . Hall , Esq ., moved that a subscription be now entered into for defraying the expeKses which might be incurred , and to promote the general objects of the meeting . Mr . JowBtT seconded the resolution , which was likewise carried .

      It , was also resolved that the Beeretwy be instructed to employ a competent person to arrange the information then communicated so as to be most available and useful to the public ; and thanks having been moved to the patentees and contributors , to Mr . Eddison , and to the Chairman , tne meeting broke up . Is is understood that Mr . West has nndertaken the compilation and arrangement of the various details .

      U 2 EVB . —Riot at a FuNERAi . —On Saturday last , John Wood , Mary Best , and Ruth Byron appeared , by warrant , before the sitting magistrates at the Court House , charged with having created a riot in High-street , on Wednesday afternoon week , and committed an assault upon Richard Stockhill , by pelting him with stones and rubbish . The com- ' plainaat stated that the two female prisoners were relatives of a former vrife of his , and that on Wednesday afternoon , whilst ho was burying his child , they along with several hundred others , congregated in the street ; his appearance out of doors being the signal for a - 'general attack . The male defendant , he averred , seized his crape scarf , and nearly pulled his hat off , besides striking him

      violently on the- back of his neck ; whilst the two females , in addition to a tremendous torrent of abuse , were particularly active in pelting him with stones and mud . The hackney coach in which the moarners sat , was also described as haying suffered in the general row . It was explained to the Bench that rumours had been circulated that Stockhill ' s second wife bad so ill-used the child in question , as to cause its death ; these rumours , however , were completely falsified by medical testimony . But it would appear that since Stockhill ' s second marriage , the connexions of his former wife have shown towards him anything but a friendly dippositipn , from what cause / was not shown . The complainant called two men aud the hackney coachman to prove his statement , from whose evidence it would appear that several huidred persons were

      assembled , whose conduct was violent in the extreme—that the coach was followed to the churchyard at Quarry Hill , where also violenca was committed , and that the two females ; Were particularly noticed , one as having thrown a stone , and the other some mud . As against Wood the evidence was very weak indeed—Stockhill's testimony being entirely unsupported . Wood denied having taken any part at all ; he was hawking pots , aud was passing along the street with his cart , when he > was obliged to stop on account of the mob ; he knew neither the parties nor' the circumstances , and never even had his hands out of his pockets . The two women denied that they bad thrown any thing at all at Stockhill—they had only used their tongues . The magisi trates decided that there ; was no case -against Wood , but fined each of the wpmehYS ' si and costs , or in default to go to Wakefield for fourteen days .

      The Parish Clock . —Tne clock in the parish church has been so tar completed as to strike the hours and quarters ; the dials , however , are not yet complete , and though tho sound of the bell is deep and full toned , the situation of the building precludes its being heard far from its immediate neighbourhood . Leeds is miserably deficient in public clocks which can be heard ; there is not a good one in the town . Why not have one at Quarry Hill for the east , and another at St . Georges * for the west ? :

      Stealing Bread . —On Monday , John Kelly was brought up at the Court House on a charge of having stolen a cake of bread , from the shop of Mr . Rcbinfon , in Kirkgate , ou Saturday night . The prisoner was seen to tako the bread , and was given into custody ; he said he had had nothing to eat during the day , and was driven to the thoft by hunger . He presented a miserable appearance , being nearly without clothes ; but it appeared from his own statement that he had been bound apprentice aud had ran away ; he has also been onCepeforo convioted of felony . The magistrates treated the case summarily j and sent him , to Wakefield for two mouths .

      Stealing Lfad . —On Saturday last , James Robinson , an elderly man , was charged with having stolen a quantity of lead piping from aa unoccupied mill in Hunslet-lune , the property of John Ciapham 4 Esq . The lead having been missed at various times , a watch was set , aud on Friday evening the prisoner was taken on the premises , after having removed a quantity of piping from its place . He was committed for trial . Alleged Robbery . —On Tuesday last , William Heaton , Thomas Coxon , and Joseph Slingsby , the former an old acquaintance of the police , were charged by a man named William Redshaw , residing at Holbeck , with having robbed hiin on Saturday night , whilst on his way home , near Camp Field , of a bundle containing a pair of trousers , and

      other articles , together with a small piece of beef , a harden bag , and two half sovereigns . The prosecutor walked along wiih the prisoners for some time , until at length he was knocked down , and his property taken away . The prisonor Slingsby was apprehended the same night , by Ruddock , ona of night police . whilst offering the trousers for Sale near Hol'Deck-bridge ; the other two were apprehended on Monday . No property was found except the trousers and the harden bag . The prisoners declared that Redshaw was drunk , that he was quarrelling with a butcher ' s wife when they ; went to him , and that he afterwards laid dowu his bundle to fight with them . They denied ever haying attempted to rob Aim at all . The magistrates committed them for trial , but accepted bail for their appearauce at the sessions . ;¦ : /; .::

      Sheef Stolen . —On Sunday morning , at an early hour , the watchman on duty discovered that the slaughterhouse of Mr . MilneS , butcher , in Dock-Btreet , had been broken open . On giving an alarni , it was discovered that the carcase of a sheep , ready dressed , had been taken away . The body , minus the legs and shoulders , was afterwards discovered at a far corner of the yard , covered mth a / haud c&rt . The joints appeared to have been cut off by a practiced hand , / being neatly done . No trace of the thieves has yet been obtained .

      Caution to Stone GETTBRS-T-On Thursday last , a girl named Mary Morgan , one of the numerous claes who exist by hawking stones , was brought up at the Court House , charged by the Potternewton constable with having been getting stones in Mr . Outhwaite ' s field ; he stated also that she was very violent , and bit his arm in his attempt to take her . There being no one to prove that she had done any damage , the Bench fined her for assaulting the officer , and deemed her to pay 2 s . 6 d . and costs , or in default to go to Wakefield for fourteen dayB .

      Sieaiing Copper . —On Friday last , Samuel Coupland was charged before the sitting magistrate , at the Court House , with having stolen a copper pipe , belonging to ; a maBh-tub , from the brewhouse of Mr .

      OTANCHBSTER .-On Tuesday evening , the Committee far the erection of a monument to the memory of the late Henry Hunt , mei at Mr . Schofield ' s , for the transaction of business connected with this laudable object . Mr . Appleton was called to the chair , who called upon a member of the Committee to read the fbllpwingreport : — ; / .. , Hunt ' s Monument . —Since the / last report : of ihe Committee for erecting a monument to Henry Hunt , Esq ., which Was publishedYin tho Northern Star in April last , they have very great pleasure in announcing totheir brother patriots , that the ground work has been excavated , walled , and otherwise completed , —being formed into vaults for the reception of such as continue faithful unto death , that

      their remains , if the people wish , may be duly honourod , and their names recorded on this monument of national and unirersal liberty . The above has been done so far at tbe sole expence of the Rev . Mr . Schofield . They ( the Committee ) - had fully anticipated the honour of the foundation stone being laid by Feargus O'Connor , Esq . on his entrance into Manchester , after bis liberation / from York Castle , which he had kindly promised to do ; but in co « £ equence of the lateness of the hour when the procfcssion arrived in town , ana other arrangements which had been made by / the Demonstration Committee ; it could not then be done . Under these circumstances , when the Committee met again , it was resolved that Feargus O' Connor ,

      Esq . should be requested to hold himself free from any other engagements on Good Friday next , and oil that day lay the stone of a lasting memorial to Henry Hunt , Esq ., the real friend of the people ; because we acknovvledge him . Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., to be the living representative of those principles which Henry Hunt advocated , and for which ho became a sacrifice . Wealsosolioit the aid of the Chartists of Manchester and district , and all other friends of that man and reallovera of liberty , to join on that occasion , in such demonstration as shall hereaftiir be agreed upon ; thus shewing both to friends and foes , tliat we have not forgotten the day when our fathers , mothers , brothers , and sisters were murdored by the drunken and infuriated

      yeomanry xavalry , for daring to meet to petition for Universal Suffrage / and a repeal of the Corn Laws . We ask the aid of those who are admirers of the great and glorious principles of political freedom —we solicit the assistance of those who so frequently gave aii a toast , " : the immortal memory ef Henry Hunt , and those who fell at Peterloo" — we ask the aid of all who are able and willing to come forward , and thus enable us to accomplish our undertaking , and share with us the honour of ereoting this statue to the memory of the man who never deceived us , but who fearlessly advocated equal rights and privileges for all , Friends and Brother Chartists , in this , our appeal , we would impress on your minds the words uttered by Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., in the Hall of Science , Manchester , on the 24 th of September last , whidh were as follow : — "You had once a

      straightforward and honest leader , but you murdered him Yes , you murdered Henry Hunt by your 'iagra'titude ; and ( he least you can do is to assist our worthy and Rev . ChairmanV Mr . Schokfield and the Committee , te erect a monument to hia memory . They shall have my mite ; and , if 1 thought I should not be remembered after I am gathered to my fathers , I would cease to agitate this very nigtit . " Therefore , fellow Chartists , if you respect Mr . O'Connor and the other noble patriots who are striving for your political rights , you will not hesitate to come forward to assist us to hand down to posterity the memory of one of the best of men of . this-. ' or any other nation . The Committee likewise tako this favourable opportunity of tendering to the Rev . Mr . Schokfield our grateful thanks for his disinterestedness and patnotie exertions in this truly praiseworthy undertaking .

      Kull Corn Market , Tuesday ^ Jan . 11 th . —For several days back the weather has been frosty , which still continues ; this will a good deal improve the condition of English Wheat , and render the demand for liberated foreign still less ( if possible ) than has been latterly experienced . There has , during the past week , been so little doing in any article of ^ rain or seed , that quotations for an / of them cannot be altered from those noted last week . Linseed Cake and Rape Cake are dull , and bnt little doing in either . Bones unaltered ¦ in value , but the demand

      slack . To-day ' s market is well supplied with farmer ' s Whaat ; the condition improved , but the demand confined to the mere retail demand of the town and neighbouring millers , who select the best samples to supply their own immediate wants , at a decline of I 3 per quarter ; for secondary qualities little can be done , even by submitting to 23 per quarter less thaa last week ; no inquiry for oldforeign , and prices nominal .

      Manchester Corn MAiiKETi Friday , Jan . 7 .--At our market this morning there was a fair attendance of the trade , but few transactions were reported .

Flbur and Oatmeal were each in rather better request , at a decline of 1 b . per sack and load respectively . '_ . ; . _• Y ' London Sjiithfield Market , Jan . 10 . —Oar market of today was tolerably well , but by no means heavily , supplied with beasts , the general quality of which was very superior . Although the

      weather was favourable to slaughtering , and the attendance of buyers numerous , the beef trade was rather dull , at an abatement of 2 d . per 8 lb , yet a nlearaTice was easily effected . Only 90 Scots and 130 . sheep came fresh to hand from Scotland . The numbers of sheep were on the increase , owing to which the ' mutton- trside was dull , and the ^ quotations declined id . per 8 lb . We were fairly supplied with , calvesj which inbved of slpwly at last week ' s quotations . Neat small porkers sold freely , but in other kinds of pigs exceedingly little was passing .

      London Cprn / Excha . \ gBj Monda y , January 10 . —The quantity of Wheat on sale this morning from Essex , Kent , and Suffolk was limited , and there was only a moderate fresh supply of Barley , Beans , and ; Peas from these counties , with scarcely any addition to the arrival of Oats since Friday , either from our own coast s Scotland , or Ireland . The iniports of foreign Grain have beea only to a trifling exteut since this day sennight . The weather has been cold and frosty for several days past , and has now a wintry aspect , with , however , yet no fall of snow in and near the metropolis , though this has been threatened , and still appears likely to be the case . The trade for Wheat , continues to be very dull , notwithstanding the shdrtueas in the English supply , millers complaining of their sales of floar , combined with a determination to keep their stocks low

      until the plan of the new Corn Law has been announced in Parliament . The prices of new Wheat were generally Is . per quarter lower , with scarcely any variation in the value 0 f foreign j and . only a » modetate exteut of business transacted therein . Ship Flour was offered on lower terms , and met a limited demand . Select maltiivg Barley was without alteration in value , but secondary sorts were agaia somewhat cheaper . New Malt continues to be pressed On the inayket , and being generally inferior , it is in the most limited demand , at Is . to 2 a . per quarter decline , but m good new and all bid there was no material change . Beans were aken slo wly , on much the same terms , whilst Peas have declined is . per quarter again for all Bprts .
