On Sunday evening last, between 8 and 9 o'clock, a beautiful meteor passed over our city in a direction from northeast to southwest, in a line near the meridian. Its appearance was exceedingly bril liant; ana it seemed to explode at about 12 or 15 de grees above the horizon, throwing out scintillations very similar to a star rocket.

The evening previous, he was about though he had been ill for some time, lie was in a ety poor state, and was represented as In a deplorable condition when found. No blame can be attached to any one, as none supposed him dangerous. A etrangcr aho died the same night at Little's tavern. Eig Affles. Matthew Gauo would never have raadc the remark he did about pumpkins growing on eiak trees, if he had ever laid under Elisha Greek's Apple Trees; for then At philosophy might have appeared less reasonable than it did bad he been hit on tire head with one of those apples instead of an acorn.

- lp She Comes! Under the head of " Markets," our rcadera will perceive with pleasure that flour and grain are still tending upwards having reached, at Cincinnati, as high as 3.15 per barrel for flour on the lOtli inst. One of the causes for this favorable change will be found in the foreign extracts in another column, describing lc deficiency in the cnps of Great Britain; another is, the orders which have been consequently

J rcmi ; . remitted to this country to supply the deficiency, which ie new tariff system of England we are happily -,1,1! to .!,, lo ti n n-rrnt 1ntare of both s des. we a :Muu h-. mein, ( the effect of this state of things in different quarters, j ! "nd whicli in a greater or lesser degree will be favor- J au'y fcn by everj city, hamlet, and farm in the couutry. j j The Philadelphia Ledger has the following: . "Bkead Stuff. The last new from England) Orders tö the same purjiort have alo been sent to the Mediterranean. They arc intended for the supply of j Inland." The New York Express ('Vhlg) says : I "The news from Europe has had a very sudden effect on Hour and grain. As soon as the letters were : frwIl on,f in ,, mkctf lU for wll,.at? anj ,.. Upward of 15,000 bbls.

Facts multiidy ! iifHm us, demonstrating the entire falsehood of the theonc ot the protectionists. Ihey assured the tar incrs that protection and a home market were the only iruarnntcts of hiirh prices for farmers' products, and that after the parage of the ad valorem tariff of

f ISI'j, universal rum would spread over the country, ü Km since the passage of that tariff, flour lias risen I half a dollar a barrel, wheat in the same proportion, corn five cenf?,nnd rye one or two cents. They told us they would be ready to adopt free trade when .7 other nations would, do so; and, especially, if England would take our bread eturTs and provisions, we 1 ' ourht to trade freely with her. When Great Britain

9 atluptcd tlte liberal policy, and reduced her duties on all tilings to a revenue standard, and on most 01 our croat articles of farming produce abolished them cntirely, the protectionists, - false to their pledge, declared that England was selfish still; that she only took what s!ie was obliged to take, and especially that her repeal of duties was of no value to us, fur licr market would be supplied from Germany, the Baltic, and the Ulack Sea, cheaper than it could be done from the United States. They have evidently been lyinjr to us, honorable gentlemen though they be, all of them. Most of the recent advance in our bread Stulls lias Lcen caused by the news from England by the last steamer. On ilonday the English market lifted flour to $1.00. For that market 5,0( 0 barrels Genessce, Oliio, and Alicliigah Hour were taken at that price. The English market and nothing else baa done us this benefit. Here are the facts in the records of trade. Argument, theory, prophecy, all arc frustratcd, denied, deniolishi d. Bread fetufia are in fact now going from us to pome of those very markets from which it was i-aid England would be supplied, to our utter exclusion. The farming interest must credit the free policy of England with three cents a pound on cheese, ten cents a bushel on wheat, five cenUs on corn, and so on, just fr this recent advance. In addition to this tic farmer will find the articles he wishes lo purchase cheaper, so that if he pets ten pep cent, more for his produce, and buys his family supplies at twenty per rent, cheaper prices, he is a gainer of thirty cents on every dollar of his earnings. This is quite a moderate estimate of the value of the new policy of England and the United Slates, to the ?2ri cultural interests of our own country. This is the way the farmers alid laboring men are to be ruined oy iree traue. The following is from a London paper: Jnpiax Coux. The anticipated almost total failure of the Totatoe crop in England, Ireland and Scotland, has caused the price of Indian corn" to- range from 25s. to 32i. a quarter during the last three weeks, The quantity in the Mediterranean is said to be very Final 1. We expect that America will be enabled to reap a golden harvest in the sale cf this article in , England." ' AU this will afford sorry comfort to those Whig j !

The Washington correspondent of : the Philadelphia Ledger furnishes the following particulars in relation to the late news from California. Commodore Sbmt entered tha harbor of Montorpv. and on the Oth of July issued his proclamation to the j inhabitants of California, colling on them to remain ' peaceful, assuring them that lie did not come as the j enemy of California, but as their friend that they . are destined to form part and parcel of the great

-si federal union of the United Stales, enjoying the same

rights and privileges ns the citizens of those States. i thev should select their own civil officers and magjs-! iruics", hu vnj"y nu inner prrvnegca ui irecmen OI which they nre now in part or wholly deprived. The same revenue laws should be in force in California as in the United States, by which means they would, as Californians and members of the American Union, obtain provisions and manufactures of the United States duty free, while all other imports would pay a duty at least twenty-five per cent, less than is now levied on the Fame articles by the laws of .Mexico; those who will not become citizens of the great American confederacy, to depart in peace with all their property, provided they lay down their arms, and remain in other respects neutral. lie enjoins them to retain their alcades and other magistrates till they chculd have better digested the particular form of government they wish to adopt, and have had time to elect other officers in their places.

Sloat, commander-in-chief of the Lniled States fortes on the Pacific. Mexico. The N. Y. Journal of Commerce says The last letters from sources of the highest respectability in the city of Mexico, and other towns, represent the people as altogether in favor of peace. The English merchants and English government desire peace, and as the American people also desire it, it will be seen that the influences are very strong in that direction. The cflicial organ of the Government ef Yucatan, the Siglo XIX, comes out very boldly for the elevation of Santa Anna to the Presidency of Mexico. 07A dead Lmibardy poplar tree, standing within about ten feet of the residence of Demas McFarland, Esq. in this county, was struck by lightning a few days since. The concuesion was so powerful that nearly all the glass in tho windows of the house was shattered, though' the windows and doors were open. We are happy to say that no one was personally injured. , . CrThree men recently took shelter, during a thunder storm, under a large tree on the bank of the Ohio river about three miles above Louisville. While standing there, the lightning struck the tree and instantly killed one of the men. The other two ran a few feet and fell, but soon partially recovered from the effect of the stroke. The electric fluid scorched the leg of one of them, who is now quite recovered from its effects, and affected the mind of the other with derangement. The name of the person killed was James Shadrick. The shelter hey sought was, under the circumstances, the most dangerous which could have been selected.

Ileal Whiggcry. The Union" copies the following most remarkable passage from an article in the New York Courier of Sept. 7 ib. Ab a revelati n of whig views, made deliberately by a leading whig journal of New York, it is altogether noteworthy : We cannot look further into futurity than others ; but we venture to predict that there is to be more fighting before we have a peace with M?xico, and that no American army will ever reach the city of Mexico ria Monterey. We must conquer a peace by

marching to the capital from the se-;-coast; and thU ' . . . . . 1 can be done; or we must purchase a peace by giving Santa Anna and his friends a few nWUonr for their private use. . Under any circumstances ire hxk forward to a targe national tlcbt ; and if the whole affair should be brought to a close, and California and northern Mexico be annexed, with a well-defined boundary to the shores of the Pacific, ve thail not regret the anvnint of the debt. F.xirience hat shmrn that A NATIONAL DEBT is to cs no injury. All our difficulties have arisen since the payment of the last debt; and if, as all will admit, liability in cur- legislation be all-important for our prosperity, a national pebt is iiocb.i.ess necessary. Hive cs a national iebt or a huxpred and fifty millions, and the wants of the treasury will insure us a iWe tariff for revenue, which will give us all the piol'Ttion that can be desired not the tariff of 1 8-12, but one of & discriminating character based upon specific duties and minimum?, 7 A the rates rf duties hut Utile if. any higher than the n tr tariff of Mr. Walker. Such a taritT, permanently es. tabhshed, would be worth to the country all of a hundred and fifty millions; and irr, therefore, look forward to bettet times and to greater national prosperity, crowing out of this war with Mexico, and the debt it will leave upon the country. It is death to all free-trade notions and to the present tariff; and as the money is spent among our own citizens, we do not perceive how the continuation of this war can, in any way, affect the national prosperity or injure the money market and business generally. "Ultimately it vill do gnotl in the manner we have mentioned, and we arc iciUing to permit the administration to have its oirn We, observes the Union, lay out of view, as unworthy of consideration, the conjectures about tie operations of the war and its result. But wc call attention to the following articles of the whig creed, as here plainly set forth : 1st. "A national debt is doubtless necessary." 2d. To be fully useful, such a debt should amount to "one hundred and fifty miHions." 3d. The tariff wanted by the whigs is a tariff of specific duties and viinimums, vith about the samt rales of duty as the tariff r1840 ! 4th. The whips confess that the war with Mexico will increase the " rational prosperity." And 5th.

Far from it. But it is worth while for the people to consider what are the Westings (!j whicli, according to their own avowal, the whigs would secure for the country, if tL-ey had the pover4 a national debt of $150,000,000 to buy us a tariff of specific duties and minimum i Long live the policy of the whigs!

Tipton, being a soldier and nothing else, obtained near one hundred. From Capt. Simonson, we have not heard ; but wc have no doubt he is doing equally as well. The Iloosicr troops, if organized by themselves, will compare favorably with any others in the army ; and we are willing to risk a X eagle that they will carry off the palm.

There can be no mistake about this ; and wo are very confident that they falsified loth then and now. . Evert bian ms owx Lauter. The New York Convention has decided by a vote of 60 to 17, that any male citizens, of whatever color, of good moral character, and requisite qualifications of learning and ability, shall be admitted to practise in all the courts in this State. Tosibly one of the conditions, says the Albany Argus, if literally construed, may narrow, rather than enlarge, the circle of practitioners, or at least exclude some'who arc now in the possession of a diploma. O-It is stated that Mr. Bancroft, Secretary of the Navy, will soon retire from that cEce, end be sue ceeded by Mr. John Y. Mason, now Attorney General. Mr. Bancroft, we are sorry to say, has been for some time out of health. There appears to be no doubt that Mr. Bancroft will be, or has been appointed Minister to England, iu the place of Mr. McLane, resigned. Vermont. We have no additional news fn?m this State, except that there appears to be no election of Govener by the people.

Whitney's Oregon Ilailroad. The New York papers have simultaneously commenced a discussion of Mr. Whitney's project of a Railroad from Lake .Michigan to the Pacific Ocean. These articles are based upon the reports of Messrs. Breeze and Robt. Smith of Illinois, made during the

last session of Congress, copies of which are also upon our table through the politeness of Judge Wick. Wc copy below, as sufficient for the present, an article from the New York Xetcs, giving a summary view of the points presented in the able and interesting report of Senator Breeze. We do this not for the purpose ei-itl.erofcomrnittinoiirsnlvM.nrinfliionpin-Tourrnailora. 0 i o unduly in favor of the scheme. The work is immense, and of incalculable importance. Tlte question is, as ti the practicability, feasibility and safety of the plan proposed for its construction. These arc nutters which wc desire our readers to think about, and to that end we invite their attention to the subject: . , Thii gigantic scheme when tint broached was received with ridicule atxl pronounced chimerical. It hi, however, irt'iually forced i' way through doubt and piejudire and ii aheady esteemed by mea of g'cal intelligence as not only poible, but practicable. Magical as may appear an undertaking which is to disembowel the eveihtiin bills hew down the forests of a;cs and pred itelf along the wate " where rolls the Oregon and hear no tound ave its own dashing," till by the vastnrstf of its iioa band the rommcice of the water of two ocemns is rendered its perpetual tributary. Fanciful as may teem the picture of a I tcomotive diiving alon the now interminable wettern wild, stutling the wolf with its shrill w histle and frightening with it deep cough the buffilo bcrdiag on his native prairie. Yet Ameiican intellect has conceived it, and American enterpihe will achieve it.

The woik is already commenced. Mr. Whitncr intends to continue and complete it. Senator P.iersc of Illinois, the chairman of the committee id the United States Senate to whom Mr. Whitney project was referred, has pienrnted an elaborate repoit, now before us. in which (his uudcruking is examined in reference to the following poiuts : 1. The power of Congress over the entire subject iu all its bearings. 2. The practicability of the proposed work. 3. The adequacy of the means proposed for its accomplishment, and the expediency of applying such means to this object. 4.

J. G. R. Suckers. Messrs. Ciiafmans: There appears to be a peculiarity atlached to the human species which has been entirely overlooked by all our great historians and humanizers which, when well understood, will pay well the student of nature. It is men's instinctive qualities as suckers. There is no other race of created things to which the name can be applied more appropriately. This peculiarity presents itself in early life, and continues to increase with advanced age. It is the natural instinct of the child to suck ; it is the first undertaking for its own benefit; and the jeculiarity consists in the child playing this game on its own mother, where it is certain to receive a gumsuck in return. The principle i inherent. Once a sucker always & sucker. The school boy will suckin his playfellow by his mad pranks. The young lover will suck-in his sweetheart by honeyed words and a mournful tale of his young affections. The lawyer, physician, merchant, trader, farmer, and every man that deals with his follow innn. will suck the last mint drop from the possession uf his neighbor. And then the poetry of it is, the sucker is destined to be sucked him-elf. Every tnnn is a sucker, and every set of men are so many suckers. Uut the climax of all suction is a crusty, dilapidated old viniJ, who may, with all due g-allj.ritry to the sex, be termed an entire steixu of suckers.

It was then stated that application was made to that officer, but he declined to interfere, first because no requisition was made by the British consul, and secondly the crime with which tlie prisoner was charged, being simple embezzlement, was not covered by the treaty, the offences provided for by the treaty being murder, robbery, arson, forgery, and the uttering of forged paper. The prisoner was then discharged. ' ' Cost of War. Nine hundred wagons are required to transport the stores belonging to that portion of the army destined for Santa Fe. It will require more th an one thousand men to atend to them, and nine or ten thousand mules and oxen to draw them. This shows the immense cost of a war of invasion. The more vigorously it is prosecuted, however, the sooner it will be over, and the less the expense. It seems a grievous thing that in the nineteenth century, with the ble ssings of education so generally understood, that there should be any necessity for diverting so much money from the great object of improving humanity, to apply it to their destruction. " England as a customer. The amount of the following articles exported to England from New York, in one week, shows tho extent of the trade to that country ; 17,4:24 barrels of flour ; 22,377 bushels of wheat; 1300 barrels of corn meal; 31 ,360 pounds of tobacco ; 172,492 pounds of cheese ; 12,152 lbs. of hams : 108.G32 pounds of lard : 350 tierces beef: 64,728 pounds of butter, and over 2,000 bales of cotton.

SiNGCLAn Disclosures of Ccihe.
