LAWRENCEDURGE SATURDAY, JAN. 9, 1330.
The proceedings had at the closing of
a course of lectures on English Grammer, to a c!as3 in this place, by Mr. Town, have been received, and will appear in our next.
We have conversed with several gentlemen recently returned from the lower country, and they all concur in representing the markets as very dull at New Orleans. Flour, beef, pork, com, &; indeed all the productions of our farmers, are selling at rates little if any thing
above what could be had for them here. Flour, best quality, bbl. 5 dollars; bacon hams lb. 5 to G cts. ; hog round, lb. 5 to 6; corn, in ear, bbl. 62 to 75; whiskey, gal. 30; pork mess, bbl. 9 to 10 dollars. Flour, brings in Cincinnati 3 87 to 4 per bbl.; in Pittsburgh 1 to 4 25; and in this place 4 50 to 4 75. By the polite attention of Mr. Test, we have received a copy of sundry documents, accompanying the Report of the secretary of war, communicated to congress by the president at the opening the session. As these documents are generally too long to insert in a newspaper, we shall be pleased to loan them to those wishing to examine them. Pennsylvania, Mr. Ilarmer Denny has been elected a member of congress from this state, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Wilkins, in the district composed of the counties Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, and Armstrong. Mr. Denny was the anti-masonic candidate, and most probably received the support of the opposition to the administration of the general government. Hi9 majority, however, over his oppo" neat, Mr. Stevenson, was but small.
facts contained in the report--interest will induce every one to examine it forhis own gratification. We consider it, however, due to the gentleman at the head of that establishment to say, that the exertions he has made to reform the affairs of his office and reduce them to system, entitle him to the thanks of the public: the opinion of neighbor Jocel) n, and other kindred spirits, to the contrary notwithstanding.
United States Treasury. We lay before our readers to-day the Report of the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, which will be found to contain a very satisfactory account of the finan
cial afi.ura ot the country. I he total amount of estimated receipts during the
made by the Government to withdraw the national capital from that institution, it will then take its rank and wind up a similar institutions have done at diligent times."
Oficers of the Hornet. The following,
Appointment ly the postmaster general t John Lanius, esq. to be postmaster at Rising Sun, vice Col. Abel C. Pepper, resigned. The appointment of this gentleman, so far as we have been able to learn, gives general satisfaction to the citizens of that place. Legislature. This body i3 progressing with the business of the state, as fast as could well be expected at this stage of the session. The Michigan road bill, at our latest dates (the 3d inst.) was still under consideration, but hopes were entertained that the subject would be disposed of in a Utile time. The general impression is that it will terminate at Madison via Greensburgh; and, but for the opposition of the delegation from that point, it would have been settled in
that way long since. A loo pertinacious
adherence to self-interest, may some
times work its own ruin, and disappoint
even reasonable expectations. After
the Madison interest has contended for all the benefits of the road, and done ev
ery thing to secure them, to the seclu
sion of other sections, we should not be displeased to see that interest excluded from even a participation in the benefits of the road. "Do as you would wish to be done by," is an excellent rule but in application, we would, in certain cases, be inclined to change it to, "Do as you are done by." During the session we shall endeavor to let our readers know what the legislature is doing; and particularly our own members. For this purpose wt shall select from the proceedings the business. introduced, advocated, or opposed by them, that their constituents may know how to appreciate their services. We would invite the attention of tht reader to the report of the postmaster general inserted to-day. The post office establishment is an important branch of the general government, in the prosperity and judicious management of which every man, however low his circumstances,
"lor however secluded from the bustle of
public lifeis more or less interested.
This being the case, it will not require ,of us a special reerence; to the important
Baton Rogue, Nov. 23. Business at this moment wearj a lively appearance: The cotton planter begins to send down his crop which meets on the way the new supply of poods brought by the merchant from New Orleans; arid the people wonder at the quantity of freight landed at this place by the steam boats. The sugar plantations on each side of us exhibit a white steam from which wc augur that the enterprising planter will soon be reimbursed for the sacrifices he ha3 made in the expenses of his new establishment.-', provided the season be favorable. We have had severe frosts this week, but have not heard of any damage caused by them.
The United Stairs and Mexico The London Times of the 14th, alluding to Mr.. Poinsett, our minister in Mexico, holds the following language: The gentleman in question ia understood to have a thorough knowledge of the internal condition of Mexico, of her parties. her resources, and her wauts; whether it be quite a fair use to make of such knowledge, for a diplomatic agent to take an active part in inflaming the distractions of an infant state, that a belter bargain may be thereby squeezed out of her distresses by worldly minded power, seeking to snatch from her an extensive and highly broductive province, is a point of casuistry which we are not called upon to decide. But thi3 we know, that it is not wisdom nor sound policy in England to see the state of Mexico either crushed by a tyrant, or by a neighbor cozened. Without going deep into a delicate subject, we will say that the United States have got far enough to the southward and westward on the gulph of Mexico, and that it is for the interest and safety of our colonies, to have Mexico rather than the United States for their neighbor. The province of Texas to remain Mexican, as it is, and not to be swallowed up, like the Floridasand the whole course of the Mississippi, by any grasping government. From the Trenton Emporium. Hurra there! Rah way and Woodbridge, are coming over. We find the following notice in thu Railway Advo
cate of Tuesday:
"Notice cf Public Meeting. The late Message of President Jackson being con-
sidered by many, who were opposed to his election, as an excellent exposition
ot our national :oncerns, and entitled to
our approbation in almost every particular where it specially recommends meas
ures of a public and general nature, it
becomes us who advocate measures in preferen&e to men, to express publicly our approbation of so excellent a document. A meeting therefore, of all those in this vicinity who were friendly to Mr. Adams, and who are also willing to give President Jackson credit for all the good he does, and all the good he recommends, will bti held at Coddington's Hotel, in Rahway, on Saturday the 19th day of December, instant, at G o'clock,!'. M. It is earnestly desired that all the friends of Mr. Adams, living in the township of Rahway and Woodbridge, who can attend, will do o and evince the sincerity of their former professions. Many friends of J. Q. Adams.'

laDorer, or employed, male or female, for wages, shall, in case of the insolvency ol the employer, have a preference over
every oilier creditor, to a payment not exceeding fifty dollars. . Two hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars, in specie, were received on the 6ih inst. atlbe U. States bank in Philadelphia, from New York.

which may be very rationally attributed to the excess of importations during the
la?t year, in anticipation of the increase of duties under the new tariff, and is an
amount of difference quite as small as could reasonably be expected, under the circumstances. The amount of balance in the Treasury, on the commencement
of the year, was '6,972,435 81, which
being added to the amount of receipts
makes an aggregate of .$'30,574,GGG 79. And during the year the expenditures
are estimated to amount to $2G,1 64,595
10, including t 2,405,005 SO of the
princ ipal and interest ot the public debt,
leaving a balance on the first of the year
1330, of 4, 410,071 G9. It is estimated that the receipts into
treasury, during the next year, will
amount to $23,8 10,000, & the expendi-
tues to 23,755,52G G7, including 1 lr
500,000 of the public debt, leaving a

1 3,296,249 45 three per cents, redeem
able at the pleasure of the Government. Phe Secretary estimates the amount
which may be annually applied to the payment of the debt at 1 1,500,000, or
12,000,000; which, it will be seen, is a greater amount than the sum which
will be redeemable iu any one year, un
less the excess should be applied to the
payment of that which is subscribed to the stcck of the Bank ol the United
States, or the three per cents., and the Secretary suggests that the Commission
ers of the sinking fund be authorised to apply it to one or the other of these pura . . .

Pittsburgh, Dec. 31. A man named John Harrison, shot a Miss Rachel Johston in this city on Friday last, from a second story window in Strawberry alley. The circumstances of this melancholy affair, we have not been able correctly to ascertain; and from all the testimony that could be collected, the Jury of Inquest could only render the virdict, that she "came to her death hv the discharge ol a gun in the hands of Harrison."

"The part of the President's Message wluch releia to the bank of the United
States, seems to be met with approba
tion in Xiew i oik, and uuleed in every
sectiou of the country, excepting alone
the city ot Philadelphia, it is known that the management of this vast engine is wielded by a few, that the whole num
ber of stockholders does not exceed thir
ty eight hundred, and that vast profits
nave been made to the injury of commercial men by the speculation in Kxchange8 which have been carried on by the Bank. The people are unwilling that so powerful an instrument should remain in the hands of the aristocracy. Hence the satisfaction felt in every quarter at the prospects of withdrawing from Philadelphians, the power of keep" ing within the controul of their city the revenues collected in all the great seaports."
On this subject the N. York Courier
and Lnquirer remarks Some surprise has been manifested at
the fall of the stock upon the publication
of the President's Message. Nothing was more natural more reasonable. The United States Bank, as a private
institution, cannot expect to be exempt from the same transitions in the price of its stock, than falls to the lot of other
lianks. JN either can the managers of
that institution explain why their stock should be twenty-five per cent above par, when Banks equallv sound are
quoted below par. It this fictitious value arises from the credit of being; called
or considered the Government Bank or
the United Slates,the sooner that decep
tionis exposed Ihe better it will be for
the public good. The United States is a mere stockholder, exposed to the same risks and benefitted by the same profits as other stockholder, & the time has arrived when the people cannot permit this institution to trade upon the national name to the injury of our local institution. When the Message arrives in England it will etill have a. mere impor
tant influence, and when preparation is'
Persons Without land. "The number of persons in the new states and territories, who were without land 2 years ago, was investigated by the maiihals, iu obedience to a resolution passed in the senate
of the United States, on the motion of
col. Benton. They were ascertained to be as follows: In Ohio, 57,286; Illinois, 9,220; Indiana, 13,485; Missouri, 10,118: Alabama,39,368; Mississippi, 5,505; Lou-
isania, 8,4G4; Florida, l,98t3, Michigan, 985; Ajkansa?, no return iu all, upwards of 14,000 heads of families," Four negroes were executed at Greenupsburg, Ky. for a murder committed on their owner, while he was transporting them down the Ohio to the New Orleans market. They died with astonishing firmness, without shewing the least compunction for the crime committed, and
one of them, the instant before he wa?i
launched from the cart, exclaimed "death death at any time, iu preference to slavery." Pirates. A lot of seven have been latelv

The last cravan which arrived in Missouri from Mexico, brought a large quantity of gold, a good portion of which belonged to the exiled Spanish families.
