LAT7RENCEBURGH. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1827. In consequence of the general rise of Water and the breaking up of the ice in the streams, not a single mail reached this place during the past week; we have
had, therefore, to make an additional:
draught upon the resources of last week, for the matter of this paper. It was confidently expected, notwithstanding the difficulty of travelling at this time, that one of the western mails would have been able to reach this place, and relieve us
of the packages of papers, which are accumulating to a horse load, but were
disappointed in the expectation, although
it certainly was not unreasonable. Our readers, particularly those in Kentucky, trill please make all due allowances for the failures thus occasioned in the receiptor their papers; we hope the interruption will be of short duration, after which the absentees may be expected to
greet them by the first arrival of the mail from this place.
Office cf the Constitutional Whig, The Senatorial Election resulted to day in
the election of Join Tvler. Governor of
Virginia. For Tyler, 1 15 Randolph, 1 10-scattering 2. A wide latitude was taken in the nominations, and much heat exhibited on both sides. The result was received by the Lobby with
cheers. The question turned on Mr. Ran
dolph's deportment since his election to the
Senate of the United States.
The difficulty and inconvenience at
tending the attempt heretofore made,
have prevented us thus far from giving
a weekly statement of the amount of
produce shipped at this place for the lower country market; however we are confident that the quantity already sent and that which is yet to go, will far exceed the exports of last year. Agreeably to a calculation made last spring, the produce exported amounted to near $50,000. This year the article of pork and lard alone will almost, if not quite, amount to this sum. Five thousand bar-! rels have been put up by merchants and others since the pork season commenced, with somethiug like an equal quantity
of kegs of lard, averaging 50 lbs. each. The amount of Corn and Whiskey exported will be a large increase on last season, and a source of considerable revenue to our Citizens. Large Load. It may not be uninteresting to notice the departure of a Flat Boat on Wednesday last, owned by Mr. Daniel Brown of this place, with the ex
traordinary number of 850 barrels of
pork, weighing about one hundred and twenty one tons. This was the largest load ever shipped or exported from this, or, perhaps, any other place on the river, in a fiat boat.
A Horrid Duel. The Petersburg!) (Va.) Intelligencer informs us, that Mr. Sceva Thayer, one of the most respectable and peaceable inhabitants of that town, in returning from church between
eight and nine o'clock in the evening of
the twenty eighth ult. received from some unknown hand, a blow on the head inflicted with some sharp and heavy instrument. Passing through his hat and several folds of paper, it laid open his scull and penetrated considerably into the brain. He was immediately carried to his residence, where every exertion was made by his physicians and friends
for his recovery but in vain. He expired on the 1st inst. without having been
able to give any satisfactory account of the affair. He was not known to have an enemy, and the whole matter is a perfect mystery. 4The hue and cry of an outraged and indignant community are raised and rewards offered for the detection of the assassin. The Petersburgh Mechanics' Association have of
fered two hundred and fifty dollars.
By the Report of the Committee of
Ways and Means, it appears that there were due this State for taxes unpaid by collectors from 1816 to 1st Jan. 1827, 11,554 77; of this sum the following balances are considered as lost, viz: From the county of Clark, 1,128 6G From the county of Pike, 115 78 From the county of Wayne, collected by Daniel J. i Caswell, and not paid over, 129 25 From the county of Fayette,
collected as above, 125
59
Total, $1,499 28 In 1824, (1st Jan.) the balances due the State for unpaid taxes, by collectors, amounted to 26,100 19; of this sum 7,451 81, were paid in that yeat leaving a balance unpaid on the 1st January 1825,of 18,648 38; in 1825 and 1826 7,093 67 were paid, leaving on the 1st January 1827, 11,554 77, due to the State. From this sum must deducted the amount supposed to be lost, which will leave a balance of 10,055 49 to be collected, and paid into the treasury during the current year. TOWNSHIP ELECTION. The following gentlemen are understood to be Candidates, in Lawrenceburgh township, for the office under which their names are placed, at the elec

Singular Disease. A few days ago,
Mr. Carneal, the Senator from the Counties of Boone and Campbell, presented
to the Senate, a petition from some of
his constituents, praying the Legislature to offer a reward for the discovery of the
cause of the disease, which, for many years, in that section of country, has been very fatal to man and beast. After giving some details himself, he called on Mr. Gibson, the Senator from the counties of Gallatin, Grant and Pendleton, to give to the Senate more full information. This gentleman stated that this disease appeared first in cattle early in the spring and late in the fall. It was supposed to originate from some herb eaten by them in those seasons. A beast, apparently in perfect health, will be suddenly seized with a trembling and sickness, which will carry them off in a few hours. Dogs, hogs, or any other animals, that eat the flesh, are immediately taken with a violent puking, after which they fall into a stupor, and die in an hour and a half or two hours. Persons drinking the milk of a cow that is infected, are taken in the same manner and immediately die. He believed, that within five miles of him 500 worth of 6tock died annually, and that part of the country had been almost stripped of cattle. He had also known as many as from thirty
to forty persons who had lost their lives by this fatal poison. Mr. Yancey stated,
that the disease prevailed in the neighborhood of Goose Creek in Tennessee,
where he had been, and it was said, even
the buzzards which ate of the carcases of
the cattle that died with it, immediately
perished. The petition was referred to
a select committee, of which Mr. Car
neal is chairman, for the purpose of considering the subject and consulting the Medical Faculty. If the Medical Professors in Transylvania University would turn their attention
to this subject, and enable the people of
that section of the country to discover and aVoid this fatal poison, they would deserve the thanks of their country. Frankfort Argus, Jan. 10. Quebec Jan. 4. If the United States retaliate upon Great Britain by interdicting all intercourse with the English colonies on this continent, it is clear that it becomes a matter of the most serious
consideration to Canada. Probably During a greater part of the season,

London, Nov. 6. Reciprocity System. We gave a statement last week of the arrival here from the 1st to the 20th inst. to show the pernicious effects of the new-fangled commercial system upon the shipping of this port. It appears by the subjoined ex
tracts from a letter received yesterday by a respectable mercantile house in this town, that its consequences in London are felt to be equally prejudicial:
"The West India Docks are crowded
beyond all former precedent, with ships cf the finest description, lying idle. Many have lain the whole summer, several since the months of August and September, in different parts of the river, a circumstance unparalleled in any former time, whilst the employ of foreign ship
ping in the Thames is in full activity.
It is most painful for an Englishman to
see and contemplate this as the ruinous effect of the abandonment of that system
which till now, gave to this country the
first rank in the scale of maritime na
tions. The influx of foreign vessels to our port, within the week has been in a
still larger proportion than in our former returns. The number of English vessels has been 11, and of Foreigners 33 leav
ing a majority in favor of the latter of
nearly 4 to 1 ! ! the Humber dock is at present almost full of foreign vessels discharging their cargoes. Hull Adv. Steam Boat Travelling. In alluding to the extent of travelling by steam boats up the Hudson river, the Albany Argus
says "Some estimate of the number of
persons who pa6s annually up the Hudson, either from business or pleasure, may be made from the calculation, that the Constellation and Constitution have each carried, during the past season, thirty thousand passengers, making sixtythousand in one line of boats. This calculation is not made from official returns,
but it is believed to be nearly accurate.
Quebec, were of American production.
The same may be said of the 40,000 barrels of flour, and of the pork and beef, and perhaps of the staves. The first of these articles formed in the year in question full a third of the value of all of our
exports; add the second third, and
fourth articles and the portion of United States produce exported from Quebec
in 1825, was nearly, if not wholly, equal
to the value of one half of all our exports. To prevent the interdiction of this trade is a matter of great concern to
Great Britain.
Whilst questions are agitated which
affect the existence of one half of our
trade, it is meet that we be alert. Low
er Canada has lost more than any other
British colony, by apathy, by neglect.
That apathy was perhaps the result of
circumstances very difhcult of control.
L he spirit of enterprize, however which
is gradually succeeding it, the desire
which the mother country has so zeal ously shewn lately to add as far aspossi ble to our strength and our resources now make us expect more. The im
mense importance of the intercourse of
the Canadas with the United States,
ought to be represented to the English
ministry, so mar. it may not be overlooked, in finally settling the British Colonial intercourse with the U. States.
the line of tow boats. The probability is, that the passengers in the boats of the Hudson River Association, exceed that of any other single line; but it is a reasonable estimate, that 250,000 persons have passed up on the Hudson during the past season, by this mode of conveyance exclusive of the tow-boats, sloops, &c

exhibited on the Bristol road. It is a light four wheeled carriage, drawn by two paper kites of different sizes. One
was covered with muslin and guilt paper.

1 he other was smaller, and used to guide the machine. The carriage was made by a professor of Bristol; and the rate at which it travelled, with three persons in it, is said to have been five miles in fifteen minutes, so that men on horsback were obliged to gallop to keep up with it.
