The New York papers to the 23 d nit . have been brought by the packet-sbip New York , Captain Cropper , in nineteen days . This arrival furnishes papers seven days later than those brought by the steam-ship Acadia . The news by this arrival is not of great importance . Several incendiary fires bad 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 preBB are again busy upon the subject of slavery ships and the right of search by Great Britain . This further cause of dissatisfaction arisen out of the circumstance of an American Blaveship _ tthe 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 course , 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 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 Ewing , when he asked for the loan to relieve the Treasury from incumbrancea 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 terra 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 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 , includiag the amount necessary to redeem seven millions of outstanding Treasury notes , are estimated at S 2 791 , 010 dols . ; leaving to be provided for , on account of the expenditure of 1842 , the estimated sum ot 14 , 218 , 570 dollars .
" To meet this deficiency in the revenue for J 842 , the Secretary recommends to congress to authorise an 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 with 2 , 000 , 000 dols . ( 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 be selected with due regard to a rigid restriction in amount to the actnal wants of the Government , and a proper economy in its administration . ' M report then goes into an argument upon
the principles which ought to govern the adjustment of the tariff to the wacts 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 question had been broached , and to some extent discussed in the house , 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 that statute . It is the opinion of many that the pla » submitted by the' 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 billB of exchange . The news from Texas ib to the 8 ih nit . The revenue of the past year , received and expected , is estimated at 1 , 195 , 269 83 in Texas notes , or 166 , 665 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 BBIGjCBEOLB . ; S ? tF - ( -From ihe New York Journal of Commerce . ) Some days sinee 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 " slaves having risen upon the crew and taken possession of the vessel . 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 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 , 155 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 ., tho brijj ^ vae hove to , in the belief that she was approaching Abaco . The next day , after the passengers and crew aot en 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 bands severely . But little defence coald be made , as the victims were totally unprepared for as at-

tack , and had but one mueket on board , while the slaves were armed with pistols , knives , and bludgeons , made by cutting up handspikes . There i 8 reason to 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 . They 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 . Forced 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 onshore , and their wounds dressed , while every attention was paid to the wounded on board . The consul likewise requested 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 be impossible to secure the guilty perpetrators of the mnrder . The request of the consul was granted , and an investigation of the affair wasconducted by two magistrates of Naasou . The captain also took the testimony of the passengers and cr < w . Nineteen Blaves were identified as having participated in the mutiny and murder . They were placed in confinement until further 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 / thought 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 Tights . It strikes at the root 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-Majes-y ' a Government , there can be but one course tor the Usited StateB 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 startle the public , and excite a strong feeling of indignation in the breast of every American citizen .

He moved—¦ / :
" That this meeting , entertaining a high sense of the zeal , diligence , and humane feeling towards bis patientB displayed by Dr .

mjaJfCHESTEB . —On Tuesday evening , the Committee for the erection of a monument to the memorv of the late Henry : Hunt , me' at Mr . Schofield ' B , 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 ; ' t ' he last report of the Committee for erecting a monument to Henry Hunt , Esq ., which was published ia ^ the Northern Star in April last , they have very great pleasure in announoing to their brother patriots , that the ground work has been excavated , walked , 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 honoured ,: and their names recorded on this monu ^ meat of national and universal liberty . The above has been done so for at the sole expence of tl ; e Rev . Mr . SchoReld . 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 libexation from Yoik Castle , which he had kindly promised to ? do ; but in consequence of the lateness of the hour when the procession arrived in town , and other arrangements which had been made by the Demon-Btration 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 on that day lay the stone of a lasting memorial to Henry Hunt , Esq ., the real friend of the people ; beoause we acknowledge him , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., to be the living representative of those principles which Henry Hunt advocated , and for which he became a aacrificei \ Ve also solicit the aid of the Chartists of Manchester and district , and all other frierids of that man and real lovers of liberty to join on that occasion , in such demonstration as shall hereafter be agreed upon ; thus shewing both to friends and foes , that we nave not forgotten the day when our fathers , mothers ^ brothers , and ; sisters were murdered by the drunken and infuriated
yeomanry cavalry ^ for daring to ¦ meet- ¦ t o . petition . for Universal Suffrage , and a repeal of the Corn Laws . We ask the aid of t \ iose who are admirers of the great and glorious principles of political freedom - ~ we solicit the assistance of those who sp frequentlygave as a toast , "the immortal memory ef Henry Hunt .: and those who fell at Peterloo " -rwe ask the aid of all vrho are able and willing to come forward , and thus enable us : to accomplish our undertaking , and share with us tbe honour of erecting 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 Char cists , in this , our appeal , we would impress on your minds the words uttered by Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., in the Hall of Scienpe , Manohester , oh the 24 th of September last , whitm Were as follow : — "You had once a
straightforward and honest leader , but you murdered hinv Yea , you murdered Henry Hunt by your iagratitude ; arid the least you can do is to assist pur worthy and Rev . Chairman , Mr . Scholefield and the CommiUee . te erect a monument to hia memory . They shall have my mite ; arid , if I thought I should riot be remembered after I am gathered to my fathers ^ I would cease to agitate this very night . " Therefore , fellow Chartists , if you respect Mr .

Oats and Oatmeal were held without change in value ^ but barrel Flour was rather easier to buy , arid in these articles there was little done .
Hull Cobn Mabket , Tuesday , Jan . llTH . r-Far 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 ; tne 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 Is per quarter ; for secondary qualities little can be done , even by submitting to 2 s per quarter less than last wfeek ; no inquiry for old foreign , and prices nominal . Barley slow sale , at Is per quarter decline ; on all qualities . Oata are offering plentifully , and meet a dull sale at late prices . Beans and Peas appear for the moment not wanted . :
Manchester ^ Cobn Mabket , Fbiday , Jan . 7 »—At our market this mbrnirig there was a fair attendance of the trade , but few transactions were reported . On Wheat we reduce our quotations 2 d to 3 d per 70 lbs . ; arid Oats must be noted fully Id . per 451 b 3 Jower .

Although the
weather was favourable to slaughtering , aud the attendance of buyers numerous , the beef trade was rather dull , at an abatement 01 2 d . per 8 lb , yet a > clearance was easily effected . Only 90 Soots 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 calvesj which ; moved of slowly at last week's quotations . Neat small porkers sold freely , but in other kinds of pigs exceedingly little Was passing .
London CdBN Exchange , Monday , Januaby ID . --The quantity of Wheat on sale this morning from Essex , Kent ; arid Suffolk was limited , an < T there wa 9 only a moderate fresh supply of Barley , Beans , and Peas from these counties , with scarcely any addition to the arriyal of Oata since Friday , either from our own coaat , Scotland , or Ireland . Theimpoi t 3 of foreign Grain have been only to a trifling extent since this day so ' nnight .. 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 arid 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 shortness in the EriKlish bupply ; millers complaining of their sales of flour , 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 general ly ¦ ist . per quarter lower , with scarcely any variation in ihe value of foreign , and only a moderate extent of business transacted therein . Ship FJoar was offered on lower terms , and met a limitied demand . Select malting Barley was without alteration in value , but 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 , at Is . to 2 s . per quarter deeline , but m good new and all old there was no material change . Bearis were aken slowly , on much the . same terms , whilst Peas have declined Is . per quarter again for all sorts .

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 conaidtr the practicability of effectually preventing or burning smoke . It is due to Edwin Eudison , Esq ., the Town CJerir , 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 ol 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 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 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 whioh he had addres&ed to different gentlemen , and by which the meeting had been called . Mr . Dbksskb , of Leedf =, 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 combustion . As jt 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 boiler in the fire-place , thus formitte two furnaces
whioh are fired alternately , and , by means of a damper behind a transverse bridge , the smoke and gases arising from tbe fresh fuel in one furnace are destroyed by paeBing over the bright fire of the other . In answer to questions , Mr . Dresser stated that Mr . Hall ' s boiler had been in use twelve monthH , 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's . ¦ _ . _ _ .
Mr . Tathak ( of the firm of Tetley , Tatham , and Waker ) said they bad tried the plan , and it had failed with them . Could Mr . Dresser account for it * Mr . Dresses 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 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 i ; s formation , and for this purpose he injected into the furnace a quantity of air sufficient for the purpose , through a series of 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 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 Branton's fire-feeders were in use .
Mr . Rodda , of Cornwall , who eaid he had been a practical smoke burner for three years , was next introduced . His plan haB been iH 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 greater saving than from ten to twelve per cent ; It involved no injury whatever to the boilsrs , and tbe expense of its adoption would not amount to more than £ 3 , excluBive of patent right , the cost for which varied from £ 8 to £ 6 ' 0 , 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 withoat any ill effect to the boilers . He offered to apply it to any boiler , on the principle of " no cure no pay" .
Mr . Chanteb , of London , said his plan embraced not only the prevention of Bmoke from steam engine chimneys , but also from dye-houses , and every description of close grate . He had b ' ix different patents , tbe last of which was the most effective , and had only been in use for six months . Mr . Holdfobth said he had tried this plan , and found it to answer to the extent of 6-8 ths of the smoke . Mr . Dbew , of Manchester , also explained his appaTatus , which consisted in the adoption of two Bets 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 , and their various wants and defects inquired into and pointed out , Mr . Baines proposed the following resolution : — "That , in the opinion of this meeting 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 . Moleswokth , of Rochdale , seconded the resolution , in doing whioh be congratulated the meeting on the step which they had taken and hoped throughout tbe country similar meeting * would be held and corresponding associations formed to what waB then intended .
The resolution was carried with bix 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 expenses which might be incurred , and to promote the general objects of the meeting . Mr . JowEtr 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 bo as to be most available and useful to the public ; and thanks having been moved to the patentees and contributors , to Mr . EddiEon , and to the Chairman , tne meeting broke up . Ib is understood that Mr . West has undertaken the compilation and arrangement of the various details .

XiEEDS .-tRiot at a Funeral . —On Saturday last , John Wood , Mary Best , and Ruth Byron apr pea red , by warrant , before the sitting magistrates at the Court House , charged with having created a riot in High-street , ou Wednesday afternoon week , and committed an assault upon Richard Stockhi )) , by pelting him with stones and rubbish ; The complainant stated that the two female prisoners were relatives © f a former wife of his , and that on Wednesday afternoon , whilst he 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 , aiid nearly pulled his hat off , besides striking him violently on the back of his nock ; 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 aa having suffered in the general row . It was explained to the Bench that rumours had been circulated that Stockhill ' s second wife had so ill-UBed the child
in question , aa to cause its death ; these rumours , however , were completely falsified by medical testimony . But it would appear that since Stockhill'a second marriage , the connexions of his former wife have shown towards him anything but a friendly disposition , from what cause was not Bhown . 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 churchj ard at Quarry Hill , where also violence was com - muted , and that the two females were particularly
noticed , One as having thrown a stone , and the other some mud . As against ; Wood the evidenoe was very weak indeed—Slockhiirs testimony being entirely unsupported , Wood denied having taken any part at aJl ; he was hawking pots , and was passing along the street with his cart , When he Was obliged to stop on account of the mob ; he kuewHeither the parties nor the circumstances , and never even had his hands out of his pocktts . The two women denied that they had thrown any thing at all at Stockhill—they had only uBed their tongues . The magistrates decided that there was no case against Wood , but fined each of the women 5 s . and costs , or in default to go to Wakefield for fourteen days .
Thb Pabish Clock , —Trie clock in the parish church has been so lax completed as to strike the hours and quarters ; the dials , however , are not yet complete , and though the sound of the bell is deep and full toned , the sitnation 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 O v'iarry Hill for the east , and another at St . Georges' for the west ! . - ''• . ¦• ' ¦ .. . ¦ ¦'¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ "' : ¦ . ; ¦' . ' : ' . '¦' . '"¦ '

Tiie prisoner was seen to take the bread , and was Riven into custody ; he said hb had had nothing to eat during the day , and was driven to the theft 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 nacl ran away ; he has also been once before convicted of felony .

Stealing Lfad . —On Saturday last , James Robinson , an elderly man , was charged with haying stolen a quantity of lead piping from an unoccupied mill in llunslet-laue , the property of John Clapham , Esq .

harden bag , and two half sovereigns . The prosecutor walked along with the prisoners for some time , until at length he was knocked down , and his property taken away .
