This article, which has been selling for some weeks past in the eastern markets at an advance of 100 per cent, on former prices, has lately fallen about one half. At Pittsburgh sales were made at 8 50 per bbl.; it can now be had in that market at 4 75, and is falling. The decrease in price has been equally rapid in Philadelphia, Baltimore, &zc. The momentary belief, predicated on the reports of the failure of crops in England, that the demand for our flour was increasing in Europe, has passed away, and the American farmer is again compelled to content himself with former prices, regulated by the demand in the home market. Ohio. The annual elections took place in this stale on Tuesday last. In Hamilton county we learn the entire Jackson ticket ha? succeeded by a largmajority. Mr. Findley is re-elected to Congress over Mr. Esfe, by a m ijority, il is said, of between 2000 and 3000. The contest in the city of Cincinnati seems to have been much closer than in the county the Jackson ticket succeeding only by an average majority of 200 votes. In the Congressional district composed of Butler and Warren counties, it is reported that Mr. Jas. Shields has been elected over M. Wood, the present member, bv a considerable majority. Mr. Shield?' is a Jacksonian. We shall be able to give more authentic information, as to the elections in Ohio, in our next. The elections in Maryland have recently taken taken place for delegates to the state legislature. The National Intelligencer states, that so far as ascertained they have resulted much more favorably to the administration than anticipated. In Vermont Mr. Crafts has been elected Governor, and Mr. Olir,, Lieut. Governor; and Messrs. M diary, Hunt and Swift to Congress. It is stated that only nine friends of Gen. Jackson are elected to the legislature. In JIaine Mr. Lincoln has been reelected Governor, and Messrs. Anderson, Sprague, and Wing-tie to congress all without opposition; Mr. Washburn has beaten Mr. Ripley, present member of Congress. A considerable majority of the state Legislature, is stated to be administration. Jackson. FT I f . t . i (

On motion of prisoners counsel, the court set aside the verdict, on the grouni of the crime being barred by the statute of limitation, ;,nd the verdict being delivered to the clerk during the recess of the court. He was tried on the eecond indictment, which was for an assault and battery with intent to murder, and also for a base assault and battery; on the first count in the indictment he was found guilty and sentenced to two years1 hard labor in the state's prison, and pay a fine to the state of $25; on the second count he plead guilty Sc was lined '5. This same Myers was once before in our jail on a charge of stealing, but m;ii1p hij p-irnnn hv linrninfr lt- l,-wlr . , Z the door. The offence lor which he suffers, originated, as we have learned it, in this way: Mr. Camnbt ll. a consta - ble of Randolph township, went to the nouse c l Mvers to serve a writ on him for a breach of the penc.1, when Myers resisted being taken, and attacked Mr. Campbell and another man by the name of Austin, cubing them dreadHilly with a knife. Tiie coi. stable, in particular, was much injured, having received a stab on the neck, as though aimed to cut the jugular vein. Af'er having thus laid about him some Juno, Mvers Insisted from his bloody woik, and assisted to bind up the wounds of Campbell, who was the worst hurl. Both of the persons stabbed in thisafftir, are in a fair way of recovery. We have already oticed the sentence of Couch to 5 years imprisonment, fcc. From the Indianapolis Gazette.

For the following information, we are indebted to the attention of a gentleman who attended on the occasion. A treaty has recently been concluded, at the residence of the Rev. Isaac Mc Coy, on the river St. Joseph, between Governor Cass and Col. Menard, com missioners of the U.

As also a tract with in this state commencing at the head branch of the Kankakee, about ten miles south of the north line of Indiana; running thence south ten miles; thence east to Flatbelly's village; thence to another village about fifteen miles west of Fort Wayne on the last Indian boundary; thence with that line, to the state line of Ohio; thence north to the old Indian immdary, and thence west to the place f beginning.

Without the best exertions of the latter, any attempt, he conceives, to negotiate with the Indians, must hae pioved abortive.
