tion (and perhaps without any dfc::nuttc: at all) of labor given to other pttrpcs?. There are probably not less than Oft con millions of sheep in the United States, cr.J their number is increasing, though ths price of woollen eood is very Ion too ? But our farmers must raise less grain, and more of other articles than heretofore. Flax is exceedingly wanted we import law quantities for our manufactories. It is abundantly proved in the neighborhood of Philadelphia and York, Pa. Georgetown. Col. Vevay, Ind. &c. that the vine will flourish, and that excellent wine may h. made in the U. Slates; and 20.000 hands detached from the cultivation of wheat to that of the vine, would make a great difference in the general piodutts of our agriculture. A moderate degree of attention to a few nc?r articles of agriculture, would save us (rem five to eight millions of dollars a year, and be so much of a clear gain. The population of Vermont has probah doubled since 1 COO. though it increased slowly until very lately, when the breeding of sheep and the manufacture of iron, wool, coperas, &,c. ice. began to flourish. This little mountain state will soon be n strong one. It was cry poor, but is gathering wealth rapidly. The northern canal of New York is doing wonders for it. Seventy ton of wool were shipped from the town of Mh'dlebury to New York, &e. though within the town arc several woollen lactone?, and 3 gn at cotton factories. It may generally be observed, that migrations from the eastern and middle Atlantic states to the west nre not nearly so common as they were, except to particular sections. "Employment and profit is found at home. The (arts shewn at the next census will probably surprise even those who may have calculated the probable population of the several states. FOnEIGIJ AFFAIRS.-

It is aid that the fever produced by the privation? they sutler from the want of food and raiment, continues to spread. The alarming state of fever in Limerick, has obliged the governors of the hospital to forward a requisition to the maor for a im cling of the inhabitants. Such is the state of the fever hospital that there are one hundred and sixty patients who, for want of sufficient accomodation, are obliged to lie two and even three in a bed. In Cork and in the county of Wexford, fever had spread. The want of straw beds for the poor, aggravates the ntlliction of the dieae.

St. Martinsville (Lou.) Sept 0. One of our townsmen, who lately passed through the Choctaw nation informs us that David Folsom, a principal chief of that tribe, expressed much anxiety to have the Chiti-i mat has and other Indians of Louisiana, who speak the f.l -billian Language, incorporated with the Choctaws, end settled in their Territory west of the Mississippi. This would bravery favorable change for the remnant of Red people among us, who are fast losing the Indian character, without advancing in the arts of civilised life. Missionaries among the Choctaws have established schools, at which most of the young people are taught the English language, reading, writing and practical agriculture. The annuities ofthe nation, from the United States, amount to about ('20, 000 a year; and their concerns .are judiciously managed by Folsom and the other new chiefs We hope the overtures made to our little tribes will be accepted, and that the southern Indians will prove mote susceptibie of c ivilization than their nor-

An Anti-Di:?llins Association has i:ccr. forced in Chsiieston, existing of ciliacf every religious denczr.inaticn. At a rr.eetin which uas held at Charleston on the 3d instant, the nidation was organized, having for its objects "lo lessen the frequency of duelling in this community, and the gradual suppression ofthe practice." Dr. England f ophiion that the great object should be to "destroy the fatal delusion, that honor sometimes made this crime nccersary." A committee was formed to frame a constitution, in which we find the names of Bishops Bowen and England, end Judges Johnson and Lee. General Pinckney was elected President; and a standing committee of nine was appointed, cf chich Judge Johnson is chaircnun. A memorial to the Legislature was ordered to be prepared by Judges Johnson and Lee; and Dr. England was appointed to deliver an address at the next annual meeting. This association has undertaken a pretty arduous task; and if the object it contemplates can be obtained without causing the introduction of deeper crimes, in lieu of the one sought to be itbolished, it will have rendered an nssential benefit to society. By the constitution of the society, every member is bound to give information of any contemplated or appointed duel of which he may have knowledge, r.nd a meeting ofthe committee is then to be summoned, and measures are to be adopted to prevent such duel.

The trials of tbe stockjobbers at New Vork are over. During the trials there were wonderful catehings at points of law objection was raised after objection; and this appears manifest, that the defend cnts' counsel would not admit any thing which their ingenuity could en lude. The proceedings were continued for about a month, during all which the jury were kept as close as prisoners in actual confinement. Judge Edwards di livered his charge to them on Friday morning last week. On the following day, they made a communication to the court that they could not agree they afterward appeared in the box and requested to be discharged. This request was relumed, and the court adjourned to Monday. 0. themee ting of the court, the jury cgain appeared in their box, and again declared it impossible thai they should agree on a verdict, not being unanimous in opinion as the guilt or innocence of any ol the defenders. At length, a juror was withdrawn and the jury dismissed and so endeth these singular trials. It is slated that G to 4 of the jury were for convicting nil the defendentf, but Henry Eckfoid. Jacob Barker, one ofthe accused, was find ICO dollars, and aho public ly reprimanded, tor disrespectful or indecorous conduct to the court. He paid down the money in duub-
loons. Some of the persons implicated may have been comparatively innocent and so it seems that Mr. E kford was regarded. We had not, however, any expectation that the worst of them wculd be punished, for,"big fish always break tbreugh the mehes of the law;" and, had the jury agreed on a verdic t of guilty, bills at s ceptions,or some other sort of legal things, would have been filed and argued as long as the money of the defendents lasted and certain of them had profitted largely by their speculations, though other have suffered; having lo-t much of the mot ey which they had, in their attempts to make more money. The proceedings, it is to be hoped, will check similar doings hereafter, and at least prevent person who have either reputation or money to lose, (as was the case with some of the defendents in the present instance,) from being engaged in the manufacture of joint stock companies on paper credits. A'iles. The Quebec G iZrtte, of the 28th Sept. referring to the recent British Order in Council, remarks: It is obvious that there do rxit actual differences of opinion betwe en thce powers. Great Dritainand the United States. which sooner or later must lead to sernu ditaculties. In several instances these dif ferences of opinion have been public h insisted on with great warmth. Mr. Canning's letter on the slave convention, agreed to by the President and refused by the Senate of the United Statec, is a fresh instance. It is very well k' own that several negotiations of the very first importance, have been pressed upon the attention of the Dritish Court by the American Ministers during several years without success, fdr. Gallatin, who arrived about the end of Jul last in London, was specially instructed, as said at the time of hi- depar ture from the states to insist, among oth er things on the settling of the boundary lines, the free navigation ofthe St. Lawrence, the arrangement of the commerce ofthe two countries, ai d the claims f Amcrican fishing vessels in the Bay cf Fuu-
