FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1823.
The Legislature of this stale will convene at Indianapolis on Monday next. We expect to be able, in our next number, to give our readers the Inaugural Message of His Excellencv.
Wc are informed by Gen. Noah Noble, Receiver of Public Moneys at Indianapolis, that the Land Office will be opened at that
place, between the 1st and 2d Monday of
December, inst., when sales of lands will progress as usual.
Kentucky. Owing to some cause, unknown to us at present, the Frankfort paper did not arrive this week, being the first time it has failed for several months; consequently, wcarc unable to give our Kentucky friends any of the proceedings of the Legislature of that state. We have not yet been able to learn the fate of the bill which was passed by the II. of Representatives, repealing the act of last session, re-organising the Court of Appeals; we think, however, that notwithstanding it passed the House with a majority of nearly trco to one, there still exits a doubt whether it will pass the Senate; and indeed, wc think it would be but shortsighted policy in them to do so. The nc:c Court part', would sooner shed their blood. than see the old Court re-organised; and
although there appears to be a majority of
the people of that state opposed in principle, to the present Court, (believing the measure unconstitutional,) there is also, we believe, a majority who are equally opposed, upon the grounds of pol'u -y to the rc-cstablishment of the old Judges. Taking into view, then, the present unhappy situation of Kentucky, it is to be hoped that the members of the Senate will divest themselves of that party rage, which manifests itself so stroncrlv in the House, and wisely pursue a medium course, and endeavor, if possible, to adopt some conciliatory measure, which would be calculated to assuage the present rancour, and reconcile the contending parties. From our latest dates from New-Orleans,
which are to Oct. 31, wc discover that the market in that place has undergone no very considerable change. Flour continues at former quotations, 4 50 per bbl. A small quantity of new crop sugar arrived in mar-
thcr, from the written and verbal accounts, it is one of the most heart-rending tales I ever heard. The sufferings at Fredericktown are rreat but in less decree. Bv last accounts the lire in the woods was still burning, and wc fear, further distress will be experienced. A gentleman arrived at Halifax, who left Miramachi on the 13th ult. three days later than the other accounts, and brought the unwelcome intelligence that the fire continued to ras;e near the scene of the great conflagration, "anil that from the lumber-men who had come in, accounts had been received of the loss of several lives; one instance he mentions, where of a party of sixteen persons, but three had escaped' One Halifax writer estimates tne number of houses burnt in the province of New Brunswick by the late fire at G or 700.
Upwards of G,000 nave been subscribed bv the humane citizens of New York for the relief of the suflercrs bv the late distressing fires in the province of New Brunswick. Bait, .diner.

of the Hartford Times saw a Pear weighing thirty two ounces and girthing fourteen and a half inches. An Apple raised by Mr. Samuel Taylor, of Danvcrs, weighed sixteen ounces and measured fourteen inches in circumference. But what is still more remarkable and worthy of record, Mr. Samuel Cook, of Salisbury, in this county, informs us that during the last season, two squashseed yielded him seven squashes weighing two hundred and twenty-nine pounds!

New-Orleans, Nov. 1. Sugar Crop. We are told that the present crop of this important staple, is not likely to realize the late anticipation of our planters. That although the cane has attained
a good growth, and has had favorable wea
ther for ripening, yet that it generally con
tains but little juice, and w ill produce much
less sugar tnan has been expected. Aav.
The Revenue laws and Custom-house regulations in the ports of Mexico, are so frequently altered, and always so intricate, as to cause vexation and loss to the foreign trader. W e understand that at least three U.
town, on the Marietta road, was burned to the ground, and, awful to relate, Mr. Scott consumed therein: We learn that on the previous afternoon, he being intoxicated, ordered his family out of doors, and drove them oil" the premises. About dark, as he was returning borne, having been to procure more liquor, lie called at the house where his family were and requested admittance, which was refused; he then ordered them to return home, which thev also reiused: and he departed swearing and threatening to burn the house with its contents and himself in it! It is conjectured by some that he deliberately set lire to the house and remained in it until he was consumed: and by others that he became so drur.k that on the lire accidentally occurring he was una-
blctostoj) it, or extricate himself; but from his previous threats, and the fact of a favorite Bible of his own having been found removed to a safe place, with some of his clothes partly burnt, while some books of his wife's were torn to pieces and strewed around the house, the former conjecture seems most probable. It is a shocking warning for habitual drunkards. Some of his bones were found on Saturday morning among the ruin?, and decently interred.
From the Grcensbvrgh Gazelle. NEW THEORY. Mr. Reynolds, the companion of capt. Symmes, who contends that the earth is hollow, and that it is inhabited, has arrived at Pittsburgh, and intends delivering a lecture, explanatory of capt. Ss theory. Mr. Reynolds is represented as being a young man of excellent acquirements, gentlemanly in his deportment, and as having a happy talent in communicating his ideas. On the 31st ult. he delivered a lecture in
Washington, Pa. at which, it would seem.
the Rev. Andrew Wylie, President of the Washington College, was present. Mr.
ket about the 23th ult., which was said di-j Reynolds requested Mr. Wylie to give his

laws against gambling Tennessee, they inflict
J ennrcsec. The arc very severe in
very heavy penalties upon betting of every kind; so far as to line even tossing up for a glass of whiskey and deprive even the lawyer of his license who shall be convicted under the act. Not content with providing a
punishment for a crime, the Legislature of
that state have now before them a law by which the punishment is to be inflicted. it prescribes as part of an oath for a constable the following: You swear that you will not, so long as you remain in office, encourage or promote any match, or matches at
cards, dice, billiards, or any other game of
hazard or address fur money or other valuable thing; and that you will arrest all such persons as in your sight shall encourage or promote any match or matches, or play at any match or matches at cards, dice, billiards, or any other game of hazard or address for money or other valuable thing, so long as you remain in office, 4iSo help you God.' To violate the obligation of this oath, is to be held as a misdemeanor, and it is to be administered to all the constables at the first term of the courts after the 1st day of Jul next.
The Wild Girl. AN article has lately appeared id the papers; stating that a young girl, who calls herself Maria Matthews, in a deranged or wild state of mind, was found, not long since, in Stows, Portage county, Ohio. From every information collected, we are led to believe 6he is the same unfortunate being who was found in Beaver county, Pa. February last, in a most miserable situation almost in a stato of nudity; an account of which was published in a number cf newspapers. Her parents reside in this county and are very desirous that she should return to her home; but being in indigent circumstances & debilitated by age and infirmity, it is impossiblr for them to go in quest of her. If any means can bo devised by the inhabitants of the neighborhood in' which this information may find her. to restore bcr to tke arms of the bereaved and disconsolate parents they will domnch in aid of tbe cause of humanity. We are authorized by Mr. Daniel Brown, to state, that he will py twentj dollar out of his own funds to any person who vill convey hr to this place; and we feel little hesitation in saying, that any additional expenses would be fully realize.! by the person who might return with her.

lar statement of the changes in the population of that city from 1 81 G to 1C23. It appears that in the former year the population consisted of 128,097 individuals, of whom 1034 belonged to the secular and regular clergy, including nuns, and that at present the population amounts to 138,730 individ
uals, of whom 5,120 belong to the clergy.
Thus for every 25 persons there is one priest, monk or nun.

Many commercial houses 'have lost every
thing. It is most melancholy to think that some thousand? of persons have perished in the flames in diiforent parts of tbe woods; the whole appears to have been done with the rapidity of lightning; only two oMhrce persons have saved their books. From what I can learn, six or seven hundred houses have burnt, and in them, many inhabitants. Seven dead bodies were found in one ruin,
