NEW YORK, 122 Nassea 8t,-* BOSTON. 10 State St.

The I*rice of Ilrcndfttofls. Ifthe "war* and rumor* of war" between ,Tuikoy and Russia prove to be well founded, which (ho complexion of affairs appear (o warrant, there will at a necessary conaequencc be a vast increase in price of bread stuff*—both in Burope and in this country

Already bave the prices been gradually advancing-, on account of tho meagre crop, •nd, as well a* the unsettled state of public affair* upon the old Cbntinerit A late correspondence from London, sums up the condition of the grain market and it's piobabie effect on money matters

France is all alive the harvest has failed, and the Government will have as much as it can do to control the starving population throughout the winter. The Kmperor has made large purchases of corn, but not enough by two-thirds and the price is now so high as to preclude hi* doing more in the existing state ol his financea. Germany ,is also short of provision* and even England, usually the first to prepare for the future, 'haa this lime been caught. The loaf which a month ago cost but 7d., has now advanced to 7 id* Tho prospect is that a scarcity of grain will be experienced this year throughout Kurope, the result of which will be a monetary crisis. The IJank, as a measure of precaution, has raised the rate of discount to 4 per cant. This movement will .have the effect of killing speculation, not •only in loans and aeourities, but in corn.—

Russia will be the market most eligible for northern Europe, as the course of that trade 4a already established large quantities of wheat being annually shipped from the Germanic States on the Baltic, to the port of Odessa. We shall then be called upon to aupply the deficiency to Eugland and .France besides driving a direct trade with

Russia herself. The direct Mediterranean trado will however be the most profitable to United States commerce.

(£r We approve the policy of the President in relation to the distribution of offices, and especially his policy upon tho New York appointments. The idea of keeping up these invidious distinctions in the party, is only for the purpose of promoting the ambition of particular partisans, at tho price of the peace and harmony of the ••country. Tito manea are not interested at all in the success of their peculiar plans.— JAs for us. we shall not enquire into the an.^oadenls of any democrat farther than the oread of the party, in 1854. AH who cordially supported that creed by casting their "votea for President Pierce, should be conpidered democrats, and those who would now keep alive this agitation by denying vthe Hghia of othew as democrats, are as ^prejudicial to the intercuts of the South and the country, as Garrison or any other of his stripe. The term llunker and Frec-Soiler is unknown in the Democratic creed. And of the comparative merits of these particular sections of tho party, we know very little and oare loss, NVe are glad to see that thei department haa its eye upon the (Elector's

Office at New York, and the clerks iu the different departments.

Meebiwlc** Historical Institute* This Association has lately been re-or-ganised for it's winter uperations, and the necessaiy steps have been taken towards securing another course of Lectures.— The oourse giveu by the Society last wintet, -'•was the most interesting and brilliant, probably, ever given by any association in the

State. It is the iutention, that the ensuing oourse, shall not be less worthy of public attention. Among those invited to lecture the approaching winter, are Horace Greeley, Ralph NValdo Emerson, Hon. Horace

Mann, Rev. Dr. Daily, President ot the Indiana University, Rev. Dr. White, President ol Wabash College, Judges Perkins and Roaoh of the Supreme Bench, Hon. no. B. Nile*t Hon. J. L. Jaroegan, Jno A. McClung. of Indianapolis. Rev. Wm. Nicholson, of Cincinnati, Prof. J. H. Torn er, of Jacksonville, Ills., Judge liovey. ol Kvansville. Hon. W. Thompson, and number of other literary gentlemen* of this City. Such a course, as the one ooo templated by the Society, cannot tail. we think, to be acceptable to our eiiisen*. and I receive at their hands a liberal patronage

There has been DO lack of Amusements here fot the past week. Besides Paor. KESXEDY, who bas been giving a series of tShaksperiao Readings, Recitalions, and Lectures upon Elocution and Action, we have had the exhibition of If arris' Mirror of Intemperance and Cfime, which by the way is no hombug, but well worthy of an extended patronage as a painting of rare ex cellence and merit, and the Panorama of Ireland, which has also, now, much popular favor here. The musical performances, in counedion with the exhibition, of Protestor Mac Evoy, and the young Mac Evoys, were greeted with rapturous applause. The beautiful scenery of Ireland depicted upoil the Panorama, was certainly elegant. Mr. Al'head, (Alt head, and no body) an Irish Dwarf, was alto connected with this exhibition.

The low tastes of the community can have another opportunity to be administered to, by the Circus announced for Wednesday next. When, in God's name, when, will our Circus-loving people be satisfied.* One would have thought that long since they would have been satisfied, but it appeara not. Many a poor devil with a half-starved family, must "go to the Circus,'' as one of the things indtspenxible. This is a free country, however, and "dani'd be he," who would seek to deprive a freeman of attcb an inestimable priviledge!

We have sicca learned, that "circumstances over which they have no control," prevent the troupe from visiting this city for the present* "Allah be praised."

A HEW AND RAUTABTE MAP.-—We were yesterday ahown by Mr. BATTLES, agent for COLTON'S Splendid Steel Maps, a new and most elegant Map of the United States and Territories, British Provinces, Mexico, Cuba and the Weat India Islands. Heretofore the public has not been in the possession of a map, which clearly defines the divisions of our oountry, as there has quite recently been admitted into the oonfederscy a number of new States and Territories. This map, contains all the recent divisions of the Great North West, the newly admitted Territories of Minnesota, Washington, Nebraska, Oregon and the Indian Territories of the North West. The true direction of all the water courses, the exact looality of tho mountains, lakes, &c.f all are clearly defined^ No oue should fail to possess themselves of a map of such a character. It is both instructive and ornamental:

The Agent will again visit this city in a few weeks, when all who wish can avail themselves of the possession of this map.

Q^r Mr. JOWKS, formerly Foreman in the Courier and Express Printing Offices, of this city, recently left here for Lafayette, where we regret to learn from the Courier of that place, he has been handled rather roughly. That paper of the 24th has the following, which will be read with deep regret by his many friends of this city "Fi t.t. ANONU TIUKVKS.— Mr. Jones, of Terre-Haute, one of the most scientific practical printers in the State, was decoyed by somo of the notorious scoundrels of the city, last night, in the north-east part of town, knocked down, robbed of all his effects. anl afterwards shamefully aud brutally pounded. He is now lying at tho City Hotel, under medical treatment, his head presenting a frightful appearance."

Since the above was written, we are pleased to see that Mr. Jones has returned to the City, although in quite a lamentable condi* tion, but rapidly recovering, from his recent wounds.: We learn from him that the perpetrator of the outrage, was duly arrested, and rooogniaed for his appearance to the Circuit Court in a bail of $1,000 for ItoUbery. A charge of Aasault and Battery, with intent to kill, will also be prefered against him. He haa failed to give bail and is now in prison.

•,-m® Destructive Fire in loslnlllfc We regret to so® it stated in the Louisville papers, that a very destructive conflagration occurred In that city, on the night of the £2J inau, consuming in its ravages $800,00 wo«h of property, including some fifteen business houses. There was an insurance of some 160,00) upon the property. Among the building* destroyed was the Office of the Lou isviII Journal, over the Iran Store of the Rotting Mill, together with the extensive j«b offiee hi the fourth story belonging to Settle & Co. Th« Journal Office the last building burnt, and tbe entire content*. except their Wavy press, could have been saved, but it was thought tbe fire would not extend to the corner. It however steadily pursued its course, and devoured the whole square from Bullitt to Fifth, and was only stayed because it had t»o fuel to ifeod upon.

Mr, Mitchell is so wellknown upon the Wabash, as a prompt and efficient buainess man, that he needs no recommendation from us, or elsewhere.— See advertisement.

W. H. BUCKINGHAM, of fhe "Big Book" has just received an unusually large stock of Books, dec., which he advertises in today's paper. "Bleak House," Dicken's last novel complete in one volume, can be had of him.— It will go off like "hot cakes." A large supply of miscellaneous works, novels, ko., also on hand..

The case of Alexander Black and others agaioat the oounty Treasurer and the Township of Greenoastle, waa also decided by his Honor Judge Hughes. This was an application to the Court to restrain the Treasurer from collecting a School Tax. voted under the 130th section of the act commonly known as the School Law. It was argued by Hon. J. Pettiit and Judge McDonald for, and Judge Bcklea and Hon. Secroet against it. The Court decided the section cnconstitutional and awarded a perpetual injunction, from which the defendants appealed to the Supreme Court.— This we understand leaves the Treeurer to collect tbe tax in tbe same meaner he was bound to do if no prooeedinga had been had.—Gretntastle Sentinel.

CIRCUIT COURT.—Tho fall term of mis court closed its session here on Thursday evening, leaving undisposed of about one weeks business, that passes over until our next term. There was a great deal of business transacted at the present term, among which we notice the trial of Marion Ellis on a charge of manslaughter on a ohange o! venue from Clay county. The trial lasted two days and waa argued by Messrs Mclean and Usher for the State, and Messrs Eckles and McDonald for tne defense.— The jury, composed of the beat men in the county, returned a verdict without hesitation for the defendant. The killing was justified in defence both of person and habitation. Among our oitixans who witcessed the trial, there was a universal expression of opinion in favor of the verdict.

WOMBH'S RIGHTS.—The Baptist Recorder emphatically condemns the Women's Rights movement, as a scheme that would strike a heavier blow at the peace and virtue of society, by unfitting woman for the aphere appointed for her by her own constitution and by the revelation' of Him who made her as she is.

RELIEF FOR THE DEAF.—A new discovoty has been made to relieve deaf persons.

^PR^LAMATlON-BTlft^F.PH A. WRIGHT. GOVERNOR OF INDIANA. A sense of gratitude to Almighty God for his manifestation of goodness and mercy, during tbe past year, demands a publio expression of Thanksgiving and prayer from us as a people who have experienced the full measure of his blessings.

We have been favored with the rich blessings of peace, with tbe kind fruits of the earth, general health has been vouchsafed —peace, prosperity, and happiness, invito us ail to recognize the deliverer and preserver of men and nations.

Therefore in acknowledgement of God's mercies, I designate and set apart, the last Thursday of November next, being the twenty-fourth day of said month, to be observed as a day of Thanksgiving and Pray~ er, throughout the state. On said day it is most earnestly recommended, to the good people of Indiana, to suspend their ordinary avocations and to assemble in their usual places of worship, and to offer up from every heart, from the domestic altar, and the sanctuary, thanks to Almighty God, for ihe many striking manifestations of his Providence to us, as a nation, state and peo pie.

In witness whereof 1 hereunto set my hand, and oaused to be affixed the seal [L. s.l of the State at Indianapolis, this 18th day of October, A. D. 1853.
