It seems that England imports annually, to feed her population, grain and produce to the amount of over 8120,000,000. Of this food a largo proportion is exported in the sjape of cloth, the export of which in 1837 reached near to2.000,000, 000 vards, valued at abdut$140,O00,000 Tho principal' markets to which these goods wero sent uro us lollows To Turkey, Syria an Pulcst'ino, Kg v pt, United States,, , Foreign West Indies, - Brazil, ; Buenos Ayrcs, .

If wo add to this one iiindrcd nn.l forty nullioms of tlollars. ho valuo of cotton yarns exported, w'lit h are not included. and also the amount of colton cloth consumed in Ireat Britain, we shall find tho sum sufficient 1o pay the one hundred and twenty millions of dollars imported for f iod, and a verv largo part of the raw cotton imported; or, in other words, the murtr.icturirs of cotton uloiio, after paying for raw col ton. pays also for nearly tin? whole nf the sjruin and produce imported for tho beiielit of ihn and all other brunch of .inanafeture.

INDIANA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1858;

A Sabine Ilarriajo. In tho parish of Calcassieu, near New Orleans, a few days n go, a, desperado

named De Bleu waddled under rath-.ng, in aid of J.ov, Iltph lloyt' Chapel er extraordinary circumstances Itap.0f tho Good Shepherd, was nunWouslr pears that from early manhood Lo Bleu Ulten-ded, in spite of tho rainy weather

had been In tho habit of petting tho laws at defiance whenever they connicion wuii ms own pasionsor ucsircs and ouea did so out of puro wanton ness, or to gratify tlwo devjisb sj)irit which must have been mtrong within him. Some time ago be murdered two lawyers in tho streets of Lake Charles; and on ono. occasion bo compelled ose of bis negroes to scat himself by tho Mde of tho district Judge while the Court was in session; in fact his doods of violence, and bis utter recklessness and tawlasnncss, bad made him a ten or to tho whole parish, and be, no dyubt, had come lo think that the laws were powerless against him, and that bo could commit any crime with impunity' As ihe story goes Lo Bleu took n fancy to tho wife of it, man named Fox, living in tho parish, and proceeded in the most direct and summary manner to gratify his passion by getting up a ort of Sabine wedding. Jlo 'visited bor house in the husband's absence, pro duced ft pistol, and informed madam that his horse would carry double, and thathlio must forthwith get tip behind him. Whether she complied willingly or not is it question, but she certainly was win him, und thy lived together up lo tho time of bis death. During Ihe recent term of tho district court in Lake Charles, : tragedy" of some des cription was" confidently expected L? lJ.ou Uad threatened the judge and several other JkM'smiis, und in const?qnencn they and their friends prepared themselves for it desperate encounter; the court-room and the bold, it is said, presented something of tho appearance of ba lly arranged arsenals, Ouo morning, bright an 1 ,eurly, Le Bicu rod o his muleinlo town, dismount cd and proceeded to the hotel, with r long dragoon pistol in each bund, and a belt about' his waist containing a revolver and u knife, lie was evidently bent on mischief, but hi enemies were on the watch, and , before ho could set foot on ihe porch be was saluted by a charge ot buckshot from n gun in the hands of Mr. Fo.v, whose wife bo bad stolen. Three or four more shot tired by Mher pel sons, nod Le Blue fell dead, with more than iifty buckshot in dilfereiit parts of his body. 1'oX and two others Wwiv arrested as iho pervms who tlid tho shooting. - First Couxt ia OhioThe first Citil Court ever held in the

Lola Hoatez's Lectnre--Hcr (JiiSii of - the Clergy. ' -

The lecture of Lola Montez last'pvtnand tho reported interdict of. a' portion of the clerg3. IIopo Chapel-was filled with a respectable audiences-third of whom may hare been ladies. Xot a few of the ministers of thetKpiscopal Church wero present, including T.ev. Drs. Iligbeo and Taylor, while Jndgo Edmonds, Hiram Bamoy, K. A. Dnyckinck, .and other eminent representatives of law and literature, appeared for the laity. Lola was evidently gratified with her bearers, and she repeated her lecturo on thu Church of Homo with more than usual animation. Hhe was simply attired in black silk, a color ppntpriutu io tue aaerod desk, her dress titling' close to her neck, uround which was u umall lace collar, united below the throat with a largo camoo pin. Her black hair was cut short or rolled up behind, and pushed back from her fuco a la r.ui:nie a stvlc showing to L'ood advantage the Contour of br forehead. Her hoop wa considerably within tho approved dimensions, with quite a proluoerance ot bustle in the rear. The lecture was a'well writteu though trite statement cf tho modern Protestant pbilosoph as to thy faults und the caus es of the prevalence of tbo Roman Catholic Faith, which she said was. 'not all a be, but was founded in somo universal wid precious nullit; otherwise it could not. hold for ho brng a tlm such multi tudes in subjection, At the close cf her discourse, tho lecturer, paused it few moments, and with a mischivous ll.ts!1 of her big grey cyrs, paid her respects to the clergy. ' Ladies and gentlemen. Ihe adver tisements ! avo inform 1 you that the proceeds 1t this lecturo are to be given to the Rev. Ralph Hoyt, to aid bint in rebuilding his freu church for the joer. Tlio liapcrn have also apprized vou that some of the cb-rgy ! vo cast, v'l.-ction ujron the worthy Rector of his willingness to receive the sum which your pa tronage of thia lecture yields, which is certainly n piece of bigotry, intolerance. -a a' 1 cruwlty to the or. ami , mod Jlesome fm'n'i tiiieiiee, which I have iievor before witnessed, even ia tho most illiberal catholic countries of ihe Old World.
