      The New York papers to the 23 d ult . have been brought by the packet-sbip New York , Captain Cropper , m nineteen days . This arrival furnishes papers seven dayB later than those brought by the steam-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 retaliation . The New York press are again busy upon the subject of slavery ships and the right of search by Great 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 noticed in a Washington paper : - ** The state of the Treasury is , of cenree , the same as it was represented to be in the President's message 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 cols ; which deficiency is caused by the failure to obtain the necessary amount of the twelve million loan , in eonsfquence of the shortness of the time which it had to run .

      '' Mr . Secretary Ewing , when he asked for the loan to relieve the Treasury from incumbrances 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 C 1842 ) the receipts into the Treasury ( excluding the proceds of the sales 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 , incJudiBg 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 thiB deficiency in the revenue for 1842 , the Secretary recommends to congress to authorise au extension of the term of the portion of the twelve million loan not yet taken , and a re-issue of the Treasury notes heretofore authorised by law , amounting to 5 , 000 , 000 dols . ; the balance of the deficit in the ways and means , together mth 2 , 000 , 000 cols , ( a surplus deemed necessary to be in the Treasury to meet emergencies to the public service ) , to be supplied from imposts upon such foreign articles imported into the United States ' as may Deselected with due regard to a rigid restriction in amount to the actual wants of the Government , and a proper economy in its adminisiration . ' " The report then goes into an argument upon the principles which ought to govern the

      adjustment of the tariff to the wants of the Goverment . " The United States Parliament continue its sittings in the Senate . 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 qnestion had been broached , and to some extent discussed ia the house , though on a sort of feigned issua . The first movement had also been made by the opponents of the bankrupt law for the repeal of that statute . It is the opinion of many that the phut submitted by the Secretary for a fiscal agent will differ in sereral 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 .

      The news from Ttxas is to the 8 th ult . The revenue of the past year , received and expected , is estimated at 1 , 195 . 269 83 in Texas notes , or 166 , 666 dollars in par funds . Should the present system 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 revenue of about 40 , 000 dollars is expected for the current year . CASE OF THE BBIGjCBEOLE . " P ^ rf ( From ( Tie New York Journal of Commerct . J

      Some dayB since we published a letter from Nassau , giving information of the arrival at that port of the American brig Creole , bound from Richmond to New Orleans , with a cargo of slaves and tobacco , the slavts having risen upon the crew and taken possession of the vessel . It was also stated that most of the * l » ves bad been liberated by the British authorities at Nassau , and tbat several of them had taken passage for Jamaica . New Orleans papers of the 4 th instant contain further particulars of the transaction , which are here subjoined : —

      *» The brig Creole , Captain Ellson , of Richmond , bound for New Orleans , with a cargo of tobacco , 1 S 5 . slaves , and four or five passengers , was , on the 7 th ultimo , taken possession of by the slaves , who rose and mutinied , killing and wounding several white persons . It appears that , on the 7 th ultimo , at eight p m ., the brig was hove to , in the belief that she was approaching Abaco . The next day , after the passengers and crew 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 knife . They wounded the captain and one of the hands dangerously , the chief mate and another of the bauds severely . But little defence could be made , as the victims were totally unprepared Tor aa at-

      Untitled Article

      tack , and had but one musket on board , while the Blaves were armed with pistols , knives , and bludgeons , made by cutting up handspikes . There is reason % believe that the whole plot was arranged before they left Richmond . ¦; "Having obtained possession of the vessel , they broke open the trunks and ransacked the whole cargo . The ; spared the lives of the mate , passengers , and a part of the crew , on condition that they should be taken immediately to Abaco , an English Island . Foroed 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 woauds dressed , while every attention was paid to the wounded on board . The consul likewise requested the Governor of New Providence to place . * guard on

      board to prevent the slaves from going ashore , as he well knew that if this was not done , it would be impossible to secure the guilty perpetrators of the mnrder . The request of the consul was granted , and aa investigation of the affair was conducted by two magistrates of Nassou . The captain also took the testimony of the passengers and on w . Nineteen slaves were identified as having participated in the mutiny and murder . They were placed in confinement until farther orders , the governor refusing to have them sent to America under the circumstances . The remainder ( 114 ) were liberated by her Majesty's 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 / thonght proper . The captain is doing well , and will probably recover . "

      ( From the New Orleans Advertiser . ) This affair , of the Creole is the cap sheaf of British aggression upon the American rights . It strikes at the Toot of our intercourse with Great Britain , and overturns at one blow all our relations , amicable and commercia l . If it be not promptly discountenanced , and ample reparation immediately made by her Msjesy ' s Government , there can be but one course lor the United States to pursue—a course that the pride , honour , and 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 Btartle the public , and excite a strong feeling of indignation in the breast of every American citizen .

      CONSUMPTION OF SMOKE . On Wednesday last , an important meeting was held in the Music Hall , Albion-street , LeedB , Win . Beckett , Esq ., M . P ., in the chair , to considr r the practicability of effectually preventing or burning moke . It is due to Edwin Eddison , EEq ., 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 modela of several patentees . These plans and diagrams were exhibited in the meeting room , on Monday and Tuesday last , to all who chose to inspect them , and either the patentee or some one on his behalf was present to explain each at the public meeting .

      William Beckett , Esq ., M . 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 health , comfort , and well-being of the town as the one for which they were now assembled—that of divesting the atmosphere of its impurities , he hoped successfully ; it was an object ia 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 was suffered to exist as it did most unnecessarily . He hoped , therefore , that the result of that meeting would be not only the formation of an association for Leeds , but that its ramifications would extend into every manufacturing district in the country .

      The Town Clerk read the circular which he had addressed to different gentlemen , and by which the meeting had been called . Mr . Dbessbr , of Leed .=, on behalf of Mr . Thos . Hall , described that gentleman ' s parent ; previous to which he entered into a chemical analysis of the properties of coal , and of the nature of cpmbastion . 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 alone the

      boiler 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 stated that Mr . Hail's boiler had been in use twelve months , and had sustained no injury whatever from the application of the parent ; he could not state the saving of fuel , though he believed that was admitted ; and the kind of coal used had been

      Gasgoigne . Mr . TathaX ( of the firm of Tetley , Tatham , and Waker ) said they had tried the plan , and it had failed with them . Could Mr . Dresser account for it 1 Mr . Dbesseb said it had not -a fair trial . Mr . 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 hi 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 iis formation , and for this purpose he injected into the furnace a quantity of air suffioient for the purpose , through a series ot holes in an iren 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 would only 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 Brauton'd fire-feeders were in use .

      Mr . Rodda , of Cornwall , who Baid he had been a practical smoke burner for three years , was next introduced . His plan has been ia operation for two years and a half , with all kinds of coal , and baa effected a saving of fuel varying from nine to twenty-five per cent ., though he would not engage for a greater saving than from ten to twelve per cent . It involved no injury whatever to the boilers , and the expense of its adoption would not amount to more than £ 3 , exclusive of patent right , the cost for which varied from £ 8 to £ 60 , according to the size of the engine .

      Mr . Bell , of Edinburgh , next described Mr . Iveson ' s patent , which has been in use three years , with considerable saving of fuel , and without any ill effect to the boilers . He offered to apply it . to any boiler , on the principle of " no cure no pay . " Mr . Chantkb , of London , said his plan embraced not only the prevention of smoke from steam engine chimneys , bat also from dye-houses , and every description of close grate . He had six different patents , the last of which was the most effective , and had only been in 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 , alao explained his apparatu ? , which consbted 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 attentively examined , aud their various wants and defects inquired into and pointed out , Mr . Baines proposed the following resolution : — " That , in the opinion of this meeiiDg the smoke arising from steam eagine chimney a can be consumed in most cases without any injury to the boilers , and with a Faving of fuel . " Dr . Moleswokth , 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 meetings would be held and corresponding associations formed to what was then intended . The resolution was carried with six or eight dissentients . Mr . Tatham and other gentlemen saying they had not heard anything that day to convince them of its entire practicability .

      Dr . Hook proposed the next resolution for the appointment of a committee of such gentlemen of the town as took an 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 ., feconded the resolution , which was carried unanimously . H . Hall , Esq ., moved that a subscription be now entered into for defraying the expesses which might be incurred , and to promote the general objects of the meeting . Mr . Jowbit seconded the resolution , which was likewise carried .

      It was also resolved that the secretary 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 . Eddhou , and to the Chairman , tne meeting broke up . Is is understood that Mr . West has undertaken the compilation and arrangement of the various details .

      situation from its first establishment , a perfod o seventeen yeaTB . Dr . Holmes was called to the chair , ffhere wer « * only twq candidates—Dr . Chad " wick and Dr . Thos . Smith . Dr . Holmes , in resuming the chair at the Philosophical . Hall i briefly stated the purpose for which they were assembled , and announced thai the testimonialsof each candidate had been inspected by the Boord , who had declared that they were both equally eligible , / V v / . ¦ ¦ ' : Mr . John Cawood submitted that , as the testimonials of both the candidates had been previou-ly read ou a similar occasion , and were consequently well known , it would save the time of the meeting u that were now dispensed with . \

      The suggestion was generally approved of , and after Bome conversation was put in the form of a motion , and unanimously adopted . ' . ; Mr . Hamilton Richakdson , BolijCitor , said he understood Dr . Smith was pledged to be prepared at that meeting to rebut some insinuations which had been made that he practised as a surgeon as Veil as a physician . He was ready on Dr . Smith ' s behalf— : : ¦ ' -.. -. '¦¦ , . )'¦ ¦ '¦ ' . - ¦ - -- - " . ¦ . - -V .. -: - / -. ¦ ¦ -: The Chairman said that no imputation had been cast upon Dr . Smith in that meeting , and as the committee had declared that both the candidates were equally eligible , there was nothing to rebut . The Ballot was then proceeded with , and whilst the tickets were being collected , Mr . Henry Hall rose and with the permission of the Chairman , proposed a vote of thanks to Dr . Hunter for his past services . He bore teetimony to the indefatigable zeal display ed by Dr . Huiiter in the

      discharge of his duties to the Institution , his kindness to the poori and his desire at all times to render all the assistance in his power to the medical gentlemen with whom he was associated , not only at the Dispensary but at another and more extensive Institution , with which he / was also connected ; and regretted exceedingly the cause which had led to his resignation .

      IiEEDS . —Riot at a Funeral . —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 , oa Wednesday afternoon week , and committed an assault upon Richard Stockhill , by pelting him with stones and rubbish . The complainant stated that the two female prisoners were relatives of a former wife of his , and that on Wednesday afternoon , whilst he was burying hia 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 mourners 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 had 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 Stockhiirs second marriage , the connexions of his former wife have shown towards him anything but a friendly disposition , from what cause was not shown . The complainant called two men and the hackney coachman to prove his statement , from whose evidence it

      would appear that several hundred persons were assembled , whose conduct was violent in the extreme—that the coach was followed - . to ' the churchjard- at Quarry Hill j where also violence . w-as " com > mitted , and that the two females-were particularly notioed ,-on 9 as having thrown a stone , and the other some mud . As against Wood the evidence was yory weak indeed—Stockhill ' s testimony being entirely unsupported . Wood denied having taken any part at all ; he was hawking pots , and was passing along the street with his , ' cait , when he was obliged to stop on account of the mob ; ho knew neither the parties nor the circumstances , and never even had his hands out of his pockets . The two women denied that they had thrown any thibg at all at Stockhill—they had only used their tongues . The magistrates decided that there was no caso against Wood , buc fined each of the women 5 s . 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 the sound of the boll is deep and full toned , the situation of the building precludes its being hca rd Sat from its immediate neighbourhood . Leeds isi miserably deficient in public clocks which can be hoard ; there is not a £ Ood one in the town . Why not have one at ' Quarry-Hill for the east , and another at St . Georges' for tho west ? .-- ¦ ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ' ' . ¦ - ¦

      niAN'CHESTEB .-On Tuesday evening , the Committee for the erection of a monument to the memory of the late Henry Hunt , met 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 following report : — - Hunt ' s Monument . —Since the last report of the Committee for erecting a monument to Henry Hunt , Esq ., which was published in the Northern Star' in April last , they have very great pleasure in announcing to their brother patriots , that the ground work has been excavated , walled , and otherwise completed , —? bemg formed / into ^ vaults for . the reception of such as Continue faithful unto death , that

      their remains , if the people wish , inay ; be . duly honoured , and their names recorded on this monument of national and universal liberty . The above has been done so far at the aole expence of the Rev . Mr . Schofield . They ( the Committee ) had fully anticipated the honour of the foundation stone being laid by FeargusO'Cohnorj Esq . on hid entrance into Manchester , after his liberation from York Castle ; which he had / kindly promised to do ; but in consequence of the lateness of the hour when the procession arrived in town , ana other arrangenents whioh had been made by the Demon : stration Committee , it . could not then be done . Under these circumstances , when the Committee met again , it was resolved that Fear&us O' Connor ,

      Esq . should be requested to hold hiinself freo from any other engagements oh Good Friday next , and on that day lay the stone of a lasting memorial to Henry Hunt , Esq ., the real friend of the people ; because we acknowledge him , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., to be the living rupresentative of those principles which Henry Huufc advocated , : and for which he became a sacrifice . Wealso solicit the aid of the Chartists of Manchester and district , and all other friends of that man and real lovers of liberty , to join on that occasion , in such demonstration as shall hereafter be agreed upon ; thus she wing both to friends and foes , that we have not forgotten the day when our ¦ "¦ fathers , ' mothers , brothers , and sisters were murdered by the drunken and infuriated

      yeomanry cavalry , for daring to meet to petition for Universal Suffrage , and a repeal of the Corn Laws . We ask the aid of tViOse who are admirers of the great and glorious principles of ' political ;/' . freedom ; •—we solicit the assistance of those Who so freqriently gave aa a toast , " the imoiortai memory of Henry Hunt , and those who fell at Peterlpo "we ask tht > aid of all vrho are able and willing to come forward ; and thus enable us to accomplish our undertaking , and share with us ihe honour of erecting this statue to the memory of the man who never ^ decdved us , but who fiarlessly advocated equal rights and privileges for all . Friends and Brother Chartists , in this , pur 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 Jast , whitifi were as follow : —" You had once a straightforward and honest loader , but you murdered him Yes , you murdered Hehry Hunt by your iagratitude ; and the lea ^ t you can do is to assist our worthy and Rev . Chairman , Mir . Scholefield and the Committee , te erect , a monument to his memory . They shall have my mito ; and , if I thought I should not be remembered after I am gathered to my fathers , I would cease to agitate this very night . " 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 .

      State of Trade . —There was rather less animation in the market yesterday than on the preceding Tuesdays ; -and those spinners and manufacturers , who had demanded further advances last week , were genera lly content to accept the prices which wers then offered but refused . The market , however , is tolerably steady , both in goods and yarn , at a trifling advance upon the extreme low rates current about a month ago . In reference to a statement , which appeared in the Guardian of Wednesday last , on the export of cotton goods and yarn to China ; we have been favoured by a mercantile

      house in this town with a statement of the amount of those exports , as compared with that Of the precedingyear ; from which it appears that , in 1841 , of white cottons shipped to China , there were 25 , 436 packages , the declared value of which was £ 77 lj > 89 and , in 1840 , 21 , 284 packages ; declared value , ¦ £ 6 . 8 ' 4 , 2 ( a ; increase in 1841 , declared value , £ 87 , 328 .

      Hull Corn Market ; Tuesday , Jan . 11 th . —Fdr 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 grain or seed , that quotations for any of them cannot be altered from those noted last week . Linseed Cake and Rape Cake are dull , and but little doing in either . Bones unaltered in value , but the demand

      slack . To-day ' s market : is well supplied with farmer ' s Wheat ; 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 wantB , at a decline of Is per quarter ; for secondary qualities little can be done , even by submitting to 2 s per quarter less than last week ; no inquiry for old foreign , and prices nominal . Barley slow sale , at Is per quarter decline * on all qualities . Oats are offering plentifully , and meet a dull sale at late prices . Beans and Peas appear for the moment not wanted .

      Manchester Corn Market , Friday , JAN ., 7 i—At our market this morning there was a fair attendance of the trade , but few transactions were reported .

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 It , yet a olearance was easily effeoted . 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 trade was dull , and the quotations declined Id . per 8 lb . We were fairly supplied with calves , which moved of slowly at last week's quotations . - Neat small porkers sold freely , but in other kindB of piea exceedingly little was passing .

      London Corn Excha . ngk , Monday , 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 , Scotland , or Ireland . The impoi t 3 of foreign Grain have been only to a trifling extent since this day so'nhight . 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 , notwithstandihg tho shortness in the English supply , millers complaining of their sales of flour , combined with a determination to keep their stocks low

      until the plan of the new Cora Law has been announced in Parliament , The prices of new Wheat were geiierally l = i . per quarter lower , with scarcely any variation in the value of foreign , and only a moderate extent of business transacted therein . Ship Flour was offered on lower terms , and met a limited demand . . Select malting / Barley was without alteration in value , bnt secondary sorts were again somewhat cheaper . New Malt continues to be pressed on the market , and being generally 'inferior ; it is in the most limited demand , afc Is ; to 2 * per quarter decline , but in good new and all old there was no material change . Beans were aken slowly , on much the same termsi whilst Peas hive declined Is . per quarter again for all sorts .
