OLIVER H. SMITH, ESQ.

HONEST TRUTHS, WELL SPOKEN It is many a day since we read an article containing more important truths, well expressed, than are contained in the following from the National Intellffeencer. Tho PEOPLE should read it, and if they are not totalty insensible to their own and thoir country interests, it will not bo perused without making a lasting impression their minds

Nothing is more common than to hear politicians complain of the COIICUH of Ldttor#, whenever, in the opinion of that bubbling and talking horde, the conductors ol the public press fail to coma up to their own high notions of political perfection.. Editors, to-day, writfe too liitfo—to-morrow they write too much—or, as is euggested in the Intelligencer, they dg not "toe the line" and "work like the Vnn Huron press." Such complaints AS these come with an ill-grace from O majority of'the "politicians" who make them.

It is sometimes amusingly ridiculous to listen to these diameters. We liavo heard their learned discourses on the duty of Edifors, ofl* and on, during the last twelve yenrs, and found, invariably, that the "croakers" were men who never performed one act of patriotic devotion to the party or the country. For the most part, they consist of political loafers, or politicians of eaty virtue, who urge their claim* to office on the ground that they are cither toolaxy or to proud to work at any business which would gain them an honest living This claw of men is fearfully increasing in our land.— There is scarcely a village in which dozens of them may not b6 found, congregating at corners, or discoursing at tho bar, learnedly, on the duty of the President and the Administration in appointments to office.— Their own peculiar "claims," or the cUftos of their immediate friends, are urged with an eloquence which must be entirely flattering to their self-pride. A unanimous verdict is always rendered in favor of those who never had the manly virtut to do any thing, but look on and find cult with those who labored for the came. Like all brave soldiers, standing half a mile off, while the battle was fighting, thete men are able to point out the supposed mistakes of the commanding general, and most precisely describe how things should have been done! ^,

No men come In for a larger shafUkf ilfef* fault-find-ing than the Editors of the respective parties. No matter how devoted they may have been—ne matter what sacrifice they may have made—no matter what success may have attended their labors—the mere "politic""1*" of the party arc the first to crosk and carp at them. Unless Editors are willing to become tha slaves and tools of every aspiring demagogue, and write down and fight down all opposition to them, the whole pack is let loose, to bark at their heels and annoy them by their melodious waitings. The people should keep their eyes on these characters, and distinguish betwesn those who labor for the cause, and those who only talk to bring themselves into notice. Every word of the following article is true, as we havs learn cd by experience: raow TflK 1UTI0MA1. I NTKLt.tOKNCKU. THE WHIG POLITICIANS AND THE WHIG

PREtW.

The Whig politicians complain, often bitterly, that the Whig press is not all thev would have it. Now, it is said, "the Washington Whig pre»e is not spicy enough "there are not editorial articles enough and, again, that "none of the Whig city presses toe the line," "and work like the Opposition" new (the Administration heretofore.)

Well, if it were so, what right have the Whig politician* to complain? Indeed, it ought to be so, when we look at the different mode and manner the two parties hare of standing by their press. Let ns look into this.

The Whig jwfttirMMw began what they call "reform" here, bv cutting down the mechanical labor that employ, that is, the public printing, twenty per cent.— Now. such a met in the price of work was not only out of all reason, but the price actually paid before was not beyond reason. Thus, what was given to the Whig press as "a favor"—what Whig politicians call "patronage)"—tbe organ of the late Administration (see the Globe of June 19th,) refused (o take at all, because they could not only make no money of it, but because they could not afford to work at such a price.

The unreasonableness of sueh a reduction would have been felt if the politicians had Secuo this reduction of twentv per cent, upon tbeeight-doilar per diem of members of Congress, cutting it down to #6 40, and reducing h« allowance for mileage in the same proportion. The reduction ol one~fifth of the price for labor and aw* 'ffWj is a more serious matter than that.

This "reform," unfortunately, has not been confined to the pttbfte printing in Con#reas, but has been extended to the public printing of the Departments, particularly in the Poet Office, where it lias been cut down more than the90 per cent, affording, in many parts of the country, not even a sufficient remuneration for the vvMea of the laborer!

The Whig Mitftdew*, too, many of them, not all, have .got an idea into their heads (ana where **dt an idea is, it is difficult to art «MtSher) that to be the conductor or editor of a pubtjc journal is a disqualification per at for an enjoyment of the honors of an office!— litis is an original idea, aamwidly. with all such Whip. It is original in three Unites States, too. It certainly never estate from the two fteest^oantrieeover «oa—France, where every greet nan in public life has been, more or Ires, connected with journalising or England, where the whole intellect of the country concentres and blaseeforth in its periodical press.

Now, aa long as the Whig politicians thus begin their "reform" at the wrong end, and in the wrong time, and as long at they tolerate this absurd idea of a proeeriptioo ol the hardest-working, and ever-working, too, claaiof thoir countrymen, it ia not for tb«n to oomplain if their newspapers are not as spicy or their journals as (good as those of the other side. .The W hig politicians make the greatest peamble mwtake if they suppose that the leading Whig pi ISMIS are under the least obligation to them, and do not do themselves a posit*** iajury by having any thing to do with them as a party, indepeadsa? ot their obligation* to advocate what they down the brat interests of their country.

VOICE TO THE WATS POLITICIAJTS ~FF nto* THE WHIG PRESS.

•So fsr as this complaint, by whomsoever made, concerns us. we answer it, in brief, by declaring that what i* generally understood by the term '4a tpicy press," is. in our opinion, little more ihan a public nuisance. It is at least a character which weshould he veiy sorry 'o earn for the National Intelligencer.-^-^iToR^.

One feature of the foregoing article deserves particular notice. The first act of 'the new Congress was to reduce the price paid to public Printers, twenty per cent., thereby compelling a reduction in the wages of one of the most useful class of mechanics. Instead of lopping off and pruning down fbe overgrown salaries paid to office-holders at Washington, and District Attornies, Collectors of the Customs, and Land Officers, elsewhere, the first dash is made at the Press and its conductors' Mm who owe their seats |o the exertions of Whig Editors, and who never could have reached the goal of their ambition without their aid, kick away the ladder by which they climbed to power, as being, no longer worthy of their notice. Their own per diem of eight dollars per day,and their unreasonable mileage, remains in statu quo, untouched by he hand of

form! We believe now, as we believed one year ago, that many salaried officers are paid too much, and we BhaU pcvv^be satisfied till a reduction is effected.

«PROSCRIPTION."

This cry of the Van Buron press must sound strange to the public ear. Whatever may be !hought, abstractly, of the practice, we are very sure the party so lately ejected from the control of the Government can find no reasonable fault with it. The last twelve years was one continued scene of warfare against the freedom of opinion, enforced and carried on by the now defeated loco foco party. We are, ourselves, its sworn foes, no matter by whom inculcated or by whomsoever preached. While we say this, we would first like to enonire of any rational man, what right has a proscripiive Yan Burenite to complain of proscription? When did Mr. Van Buren ever spare a political opponent, if his office was worth craving by his own friends? Never. The ruthless hsnd of power was laid upon all who did not bow down and worship at the loco temple but now,all thiaproscription is deprecated, because "our bull gores their ox." We don't mean to advocate this policy, but it would be well for the Vanocrats to think of their own course before they condemn the course of others.

fTTSome one remarks that "a dog can never be too faithfulbut we have known people, under the influence of others, to be altogether too faithful for their owr. respectability—men who make perfect dogs of themselves, to growl, snarl, snap, and bite at their master's bidding. We know a man in this region who largely partakes of this canine virtue, and will fly at even his own friends if they don't happen to love his master. The dog days arc now approaching, and the little brains he has left may be knocked out, unless bis keeper's muzzle him. By alUneans, his great idol should not cry "seek him till his teeth grow longer.

ITT Dr. WHLIAM Kits, (the efficient and attentive member from Vermillion) is a candidate for re-cloction, and we sincerely hope he mav be again permitcd to serve the People of that patriotic county.

THE INDIANA PRESS.

Of twelve Indiana Whig papers, received since the publication of our article disapproving of Mr. HUNTINGTOJI'S appointment, seven of them have recorded their opinion against that act of the new Administration, and the balance are silent. The "Sentinel" (V. B.), at EvansviHe, prefers Mr. HCNTINOTON to any other Whig, on the ground, we suppose, that he approximates as nearly to his own class of politicians as is nsccssary or an us os A

CONGRESS.

The Senate was engaged, "hammer and tonM," on the Bank Bill, at our last account# from Washington. The chief bone of contention appeared to be, whether foreigners should be permitted to take stock in the proposed institution. An amendment, excluding them, ws8 proposed by Mr. HENDERSON, of Mississippi, to which Mr. MORKRKAI, ofKy. proposed an amendment, to exclude "resident aliens," also. This last amendment was decided in the negative—Ayes 24—Noes 35. On the amendment to exclude "foreigners," if was decided as follows:

YEAS—Messtm Allen, Archer, Bayard, Benton, Berrien, Buchanan, Calhoun, Clay, of Ala., Clay, of Ky., Cuthbert, Fulton, Graham, Henderson, King, Linn, Msngum, Morehead, Mouton, Nicholson, Pierce, Prentiss, Rives, Sevier, Simmons, Smith, of Conn., Sturgeon, Tsppan, Walker, Williams.

Mr. HENDERSON further moved to amend the Bill, by authorising any stockholder to examine all private ana individual accounts, dealings, tit. at aoy of the branches of the Bank. This amendment was defeated by the following vote:

PUBLIC OPINION—*4AT HOME."

The remarks which we felt it our imperative duty to submit, in relation to Mr. Hcimwrros's appointment, as Commissioner of the General Land Office, have been responded to by the Whig Press of Indiana, without a solitary exception, so far as they bave ai|uded to the matter. In this immediate comrauaity, we inow the opiiAnn ot$ur feUaW-citizens, and f&l assured that an 'ovwr^Helmihg tw»Joritjr of the People view tbat appob^nent preciafely as we do. It affords us tio plea-sure-to finA fault, or to be considered censorious, but th«re a resumes when an Editor musL^ajtis duty, even though that duty be'an ungracious one. Personally, we would not lay a straw in the way of Mr. II., and wish him every blessing in his private pursuits, but, as a public man, seeking such an appointment, we coascieutiously believe be should not hare obtained it. As a party act, it is truly unfortunate, as every day's experience conclusively proves.

This following articled, from Indiana Whig papers, have fallen under our notice, and we publish them, a* a sample of public opinion, at home. They are leading papers of the Whig party, and may be considered as authority for that which they know: rKOM THE I5DIANA JOOFTNAI,. COMMISSIONER OF THE GENERAL LAND

OFFICE.

In our last, we intimated that the President had probr ably been misled as to the choice of the people of Indiana in the selection of Judge Huntington for this station. Further developements, together with our own observation, confirm this opinion. We are assured that in the south-east, public opinion was decidedly in favor of another parson. In the central part of the State, it is evident to the most casual observer, that it ia almost unanimous for the same individual. The same we are told and believe to be true of the eastern portion, whose delegate had no voice in the matter at Washington, as, oelonging to the Opposition, he did not wish to interfere. One of the editors of this paper was lately through the heaviest counties lying in the north-west, where he heard an almost unanimous expression against Judge //. In fact, he beard no one, and it was a subject frequently broached in conversation, express himielf favorable to him. In the southwest ana south, we think Judge Huntington the choice.

I, FBOM THE ROCKVILLE OLIVE BRANCH. It is lor some time been ramored, that Judge Hun tington, of this Circuit, was appointed Commisioner of the General LandOfhce,in the place of Mr. Whitcomb who was said to have been removed. This report is now confirmed, and some of the letter-writers say the appointment is very popular in Washington. We are, however, led to believe, from what we hear on all sides, that it is rather unpopular here.

FROM THE LAFAYETTE EREE TBESS.

COMMISSIONER THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE—We learn from the "Wabash Courier" that Judge E. M. HUNTINGTON, of Terre-Haute, has been appointed Commissioner ol the Land Office, in place or JAMES WHITCOXB removed.

Of this appointment the Editor of the Courier com-, plains, ana we think withgood reason. For Judge H. is not only objectionable in regard to his truckling to both parties, and his hankering for office, but is befieved to be gltogether inferior tn point of qualifications to the gentlemen who were his competitors. We sincerely wish that the practice (so prevalent of late) of conferring appointments upon personal applicants, to get rid of pressing importunity, could be discontinued^ Far surely there are men enough to fill all the important offices in the country who are free from the taint of office-begging. The disgraceful scramble for office ean in no way be so effectually checked, as by refusing to listen so these importunities in every case-

FROM TI1E BKOOKVII.LE AMERICAN.

JUDOE HUNTINGTON.—The Terre-Haute Courier speaks in terms of disapprobation of the appointment of this gentleman as Commiwioner of the General Land Office. The appointment, to say the least about it, is certainly a most unfortunste one—an outrage upon the foelingsof the Whig party in this State, and cannot fail to excite universal indignation. The President owes 1t to himself, as well as his friends, to dismiss Judge H. from office as soon aa he becomes satisfied that the statements of the Courier are true. A man of his character is unworthy of trust, and the interest of the country demands hieremoval. We trust the Whig press in this State will speak out boldly upon this subject. We have labored in vain if such time-serving politicians as Judge Huntington are to be rewarded with the best offices in the country.

The Crawfordsville "Record," speaking of this appointment, says: -'When we hear of a man travelting to Washington to beg in person for an office, we are strongly inclined to suspect his whole aim in sustaining a party has been with a view of sharing the tpotis ana no person who does so, ought to rtetive an office at the hands qf the Bxec-itioe."

It appears from

F» «»C3rrai»j,»

The appointment of Judge Huntington, of TerreHnutc, to the office of Commissioner of the General Land Office, creates considerable dissatisfaction, at it should. Wo would rather the former incumbent, Whitcomb, should have been retained. When removals are made, it should be done for the belter, and not merely to satisfy the hungry, unprincipled office-seekers.

FROM THE EVAXSVILLE JOURNAL.

E. M. Huntington Esq.. of Terre-Haute, has been appointed by the President Commissioner of the General Land Office. The Wabash Courier, of Saturday last, condemns the appointment in the most unqualifisd terms, regarding it as "one of the most signal instances of successful office-hunting on record." Mr. H. is repreianted as a "political trimmer"—a mere camp-fol-lower, who in the dark days of the party, when genuine Whigs were perilling every thing lor their cause, stood aloof from the contest until he could see on which side victory was to perch. He is spoken of as otherwiaaaadeeanMAg. tVe regret tliat mjch an indisuUW should have received office from, a Whig admiaistsalion but, with the Courier, we do not blame the administration we blame those repreeentatives of the people who, to carry their point, have misrepresetiied them and deceived the President—representatives who were tenacious of demonstrating their influence with the powers that be by procuring this appointment, and yet had not sufficient weight to secure tne most trivial point in which their own constituents were interested* We know them.

FROM OUR REPRESENTATIVE.

n— «F WASBMGTON, JUL-S 6,1841. have only time to say to you that the bill distributing the proceeds of the sales of the public lands, and granting pre-emption righta, MASSED the Hmtse of Representatives, last night, at eleven o'clock. fcvery ^osnble means of opposition was resorted to, by the minority, to defeat this tavorite measure of the people, but it was of no avail. The House, tn themOr% ing, adopted the wholesome rule, that the d&iu* qa the bill should close at seven o'clock, and that, there? after, the committee of the whole should act and vote upon propositions to amend, and report the bill to thte HOoae. Hits was done about half-past ten, and it waa paSaed by a vote of 116 to 108.

I will send you a copy of the bill, as soon as I can procure one as it passed. Your friend, THOS. DOWLING, Esq. R. W. THOMPSON.

TO THE WHIG CITIZENS OF VIGO COUNTY.

In all contests, the instances are numerous, in which the security and triumbh of victory has resulted in reverse and defeat. I believe that the true spirit and policy of Van Burenismis now actively at work relying upon the liberality of the whigs which they freely solicit, the opponents of the present administration, by manifestly concerted efforts, are &eeking to establish themselves in the State Legislatures. One design of such a scheme may be, to instruct U. S. Whig Senators adverse to the measures of the administration, and thus to paralyze one of its most efficient arms. That some such design is now animating the loco-foco party, is apparent from the fact, that in our own and other States the most influential leaders of that party (with the ijte Vice President of the United States at their head) are in the field, rousing local and popular questions by which to attain seats iri the Legislature and even though no such design originates the present attempt, should it be succcssful, they will possess the power to throw such impediments in the way of whig measures and. having the power, past experience teaches us that we have little to expect Irom its forbearance. Shall whiga lend themselves to the accomplishment of these purposes? For one, I %m unwilling to do so. We have not maintainod our long and arduous struggle against power, pntfonage, ana corruption, for the elevation of particular individual^ only as those individuals were representatives and advocates of the great principles of refprm and good government sustatnod by the whig party.

Our work-is not ended by merely placing those individuals in the station for aotion. It is but begun The great measures of the whig party are yet tobe acted upon the question of our currency, oua public lands, and government reform, are all yet to be dicided and to secure these measures, the administration of our choice will require a support as continued and unremitting as were the efforts which nlaced it in power. Vigilance is as necessary now as ffver. The administration certainly should not be left to the support of thoso who may act with it, but who, if they do so, act in opposition to their known political feelings and views, when it will reauire all the aid of established and decided friends. Tlie principles we advocate are too important to national prosperity, to be (rusted to those opposed to their execution. Every axartion, then, should be made to rally arouud the administration the firm support of oar national and State Legislatures. There is no time yet for inaction. Every whig who relaxes his efforts now, I fear, is risking the success of the measures for which we haVe So long contended snd if, in the mistaken indulgence of political magnanimity, we sustain an opponent of the administration, we grati

.ou,r Prjv®te foiling!, at the risk of sacrificing our political principles, ana throwing bonds around the hands of those whom we have chosen to establish those principles. The result will be, that wo will beagaiu overwhelmed by the misrule and reckless government under which we have so long suffered, united with the mortification of having sacrificed the opportunity of reform placed in our .hands.

Entertaining the foregoing views, it appears to me all-important that there should be no more whig candidates in the field, than the number necessary for election} and I cannot oonsmt ioaak the suffrages of my friends, at such a risk, of defeating the election of an entire whig tioket'. I, therefore, withdraw my name, in the nope that there will be sufficient union among the whigs to prevent tho election of a loco foco from Vigo county. SEPTER PATRICK.

Terre-Haute, July 15, 1841.

TO THE VOTERS OF VIGO COUNTY." I should not have again troubled you with this card, had my health been such that I could have canvassed the county during the present week, with my competitors, or if there was not unfair means used to defeat my election. Within the last few days, I am told, a few

nilemen nfet together in Terre-Haute, their object to have some of my competitors back out, for the paipoee, they said, of defeating me. With that I find no fault, but I think it very unfair in some gentlemen who are misrepresenting ray views. They say my views do not coincide with your's, or, in other words, they would fain make the people believe that I waaaa enemy of Vigo county and, if elected, would misrepresent jrour wishes. These are grave charges, and

such, if true, ought to consign any man to infamy and shame. I think, however, if you would carefully examine my former course, while in tbe Legislature, two years, you would find nothing to justify the assertions such individusls ere msking, for I know I never wilfully gave one vote but what I believed to bo in accordance with your wishes. If yon will examine my course at home, relative to public matters, in which the People of the county were concerned, I think they will find I have ever been as ready to sacrifice my own interest for Mie public good as some of those gentlemen who are circulating the report that I woulamiarepresent your wishes. Has there ever been a public measure, in which Vigo county was concerned, but what I have stepped forward in its defence. 1 don't say this tKKUrtiugly (for I did no more than my duty) and for this should I be branded as an enemy of Vigo, and that, too, by those who never, in all their lives, snowed the least disposition to aid in any public measure, either with their means or credit but, on tbe contrary, some of them have stood by and looked on, as mere spectators!

Our honorable Senator, I am told, is riding the county, tolling the People I am an eoemy to their interests, and arranging matters for my defeat. Without claiming any extraordinary merit, I am perfectly willing that those citizens who have known both of ua. for the last ten years, should decide whether JAMES T. MOFFAT or WILLIAM WINES ia entitled to tbe most credit for that kind of patriotism and energy, which is felt in the improvement of the country ana the protperity of the People. Tbe only thing I ever knew that gentleman to do, for six years, waa to hoot office on alioccasions, hurra for the party in Vigo, and coax the Van Buren men of Sullivan and Clay to vote for him, and, "not to draw the party line." He talked a little, to be sure, bot left otbere to do tbe work,he being constitutionally (mooed to any kind of labor. Even for that little, hie claims a "reward," in the office of Postmaster, and may gat it, for all 1 know or care. At all events, his new office of Dictator to tbe People of Vigo is not suited to his genius.

One of my competitors, I am told, ia engaged in raising jparty strife. Does he do it bocause be thinka better Laws will be made if partv spirit prevails in tbe Lsgielature? If he doea, I beg leave to differ with him. Or ooes be think he will be more likely to succeed in hie election1! If be doea, I envy him not his feelings.

Fellow dtizena: My former oowrse in the Legisla tare ia before you. I am known to moot of you, per aonally, and should you honor me with your ooofidoace, at the approaching election, the only pledge I can give yoa (and I am certain it is all yon ask} ia that I will honestly and faithfully, to tbe beat of my abilities* diecharge tbadoum,aad represent the whole PtmpU, aad not a party. Your follow citizen.

ARRIVAL Ol* TfclE BRITTANf A. FIFTEEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. The British mail ateam packet Britannia, Captain Cleland, arrived at Boston on Saturday morning, the 3d, at aeven o'clock, from Liverpool and Halifax. She left Liverpool on the afternoon of the 19th of June, and. made her passage in thirteen .daya aad a half. She brought from Liverpool aixtv-eeven passenger*, of whom eighteen were left at Halifox, where ten ware received on board for Boston.

ENGLAND.

The most interesting intelligence brought by the Britannia relates to the British Parlianient, ic which the Ministry have aaatained several defeats, and have determined upon a dissolution of Chat body, aad the trill of anew election.

Sir Robert Peel's motion for a censure Of the Miniatry was brought forward in the House oi Commons on the 5th of June, and passed by a majority of one. By this vote, the House have declared that, the present Ministers of the Crown do not possess the confidence of

r-./.—.. r„ ,i ,- Parliament, and that their continuance in office is at a a a

w,,hu°°u

Wh',ch the

have compelled me to withdraw from the canvass. In .faould deliberate till Monday following, (thia waaon the great political contest which resulted in the election of the present administration, the Whigs of Indiana achieved a victory so overwhelming thst, in the security of triumph, we may be led to relax the efforts necessary to secure the fruits of that victory or, in the spirit of liberality and concession which has heretofore characterised the Whig party, some may even go so far, as to lend their aitf tevthe elevation of political opponents. In my opinion, such liberality requires, at this time to be cautiously exercised towards opponents, wno, in the day ed" triumph, never displayed such a spirit themselves, and whose course and policy ofopposition is subtle, secret, and intriguing—who skillfully conceal their designs, until they are ripe for accomplshnient, and never display their strength until the moment to apply its power arrives.

nouncement ef this vote excited, of course, great cheer

I from the opposition members. Lord John Russel

ministerial leader, then rose, and stated that he

Saturday evening,) as to what course he should pursue for the vindication of the Ministry. On Monday, he announced to theHoaae his intention of advising tneQueen todissolve Parliament. Sir Robert Peel, who waa prepared to follow up his attack by opposing the supplies, stated that, in conseqneooe of this measure, he should defer his attempt Subsequently, the strength of parties was tried again on the Criminal Law question, and the Miniatry were beaten by a majority of ten.

Active preparations were in progress for the election. Lord J. Russell waa to stand for lira city of London.— Parliament continued to sit, but was to be dissolved in a few days, by commission. The Ministry were confident of adding much to their strength at the new election.

The excitement on the subject of McLeod had completely died away all parties were "looking at homo." Nothing, of course, had been heard of tho' steamer President, although reports without number continued to circulate. Every wreck and disabled vesael seen at aea starts anew rumor, which grows to a positive certainty by the lime it reaches London.

From France there is little news of moment.- Marshal Soult retired from the Ministry, on being opposed in a measure relating to the recruiting of soldiers, but came back again on being told he might have his way.

The Turkish Sultan is declining in hfalth. Affairs in the Levant present nothing of particular interest. The French nave taken the town of Mascara in Algiers, and are fortifying it.

From China there are no lateraccounta. A reinforcement of 1000 troops were about to be shipped from London to Canton.

Mr. Fox Maule is to be appointed Vice President of ths Board of Trade, infthe room ot Mr. Sheil, who goes out ss Governor of Bombay,

A company is ia course of formation at Hull for the establishment of a trade with the South Ssa Islands. Among the most important of the commercial failures, are that of Cookburn & Co., of London—a house extensively engaged in the Eaat India trade, and the ex tensiw commercial house of Grant St. Co. in Glasgow. Their liabilities are ssid to amount to £180,000, and it is feared the affect will be ruinous to other houses.

The hay harvest appears to be generally abundant— and the grain crops in ganeral appear to wear a promising aspect—although gregt depredations have been committed by the wire worm.

There has been some serious riots at Nottingham, and the military liava been failed out. In the memory of man, a more abundant crop of all kinds of grains was never seen in Egypt than that of the present year. T|s government calculates on being able to diapoae of neany 2,000,000ardebs of corn. The cotton crop would alao considerably exceed that of 1840, which amounted to 14^000 quintals.

An extensive conflagration at iho town ol Crediton, Devonshire, had entirely destroyed no less than forty dwelling houses.

Astley's Amphi-theatre was destroyed by fire for the third fcme in its history, with all its contents—including tfsJ2glingtoun tournament suits of armor. MrDucroWs loss is £10,000, and no insurance. About 30 houses in the neighborhood were destroyed or badly injured, and one'Woman lost her life by returning to save some property.

It was expected that parliament would be prorogued on the 23d or 24th ult. The elections seem to excite mneh attention throughout England. Commodore Sir CharlerNapier of the Navv ia tho candidate for Marylebone, and will doubtlacs be returned by a large majority.

THE QUEBN—We feel the greatest pleasure in stating that the Queen enjoys roost excellent hoalih and spirits. The very important event of her Majesty's accouchement msy be expected at the end of September, or early in the month of October.

FATAL AFFAIR OF HONOE.—A duel waa fought on Friday rooming last, near Ballinasloe, between Mr. Malachy Kelly and M. Owen Lyneh. Thedisputaoriginated at some late races. Mr. Kelly received his adversary'a ball in tbe groin, (the ball haa not since been extracted,) and he is, at present, in a very dangerous state. Mr. Kelly's father attandsd tbe bloody food, and what is scarcely credible, loaded the pistols.— {Leinster Express.) After most severe suffering, Mr. Kelly expiredon Thursday se'nnight. Mr. Dillon, one of his seconds, has surrendered the reat of tha parties has evaded the pursuit of the police.

FRANCE.

Some of the Paris papers stale positively that a treaty had been agreed upon by the four great powers, for the partition of the Ottoman empire, ana adds that Great Britain was to have Egypt Russis, Constantinople: Austria the provincea bordering the Danube, and Prussia was to be aggrandized by the acquisition of Saxony, a part of Poland,and Hanover. It states likewise that another part of the arrangement declared that France would not be disturbed in her African possessions. This report of coons obtained no credit in England.

SPAIN.

A telegraphic despatch from Petpignan, dated the 11th of June mentions that on the7tna disturbance, which threatened to be verv serious, took place at Barcelona. It appears that 400 weavers of that town endeavored to obtain possession of some confiscated goods sdvertissd for auction, and the authorities being unsble to restrain them, purchased the goods, and gave them to the workmem to be burnt in front of the town hall, which the workmen caused to be illuminated.

PORTUGAL.

Advices from Lisbon to the 7th of Jane state that the ministerial crisis was not yet over. The Queen had addressed congratulatory letters to the Patriarch of Lisbon, the Archbishop of Bran, and other prelates, announcing her recognition by tne Pope, and in conse-

Sementdeclaring

uence that a road was opened for the setof all the existing differences between the two courts. It was supposed tbst this proceeding of the Court ot Rome would prove the forerunner or the recognition of the Queen of Portugal by Austria and other Powers. '/t/r

TURKEY. 4

Tbe Augsburg Gazette published sdviees from Alexandria to the effect that the Sclia of Mecca haa taken up arms against the Sultan, and driven the Turkieh garrisonout of tbe holy city. This news, coming, as it does, upon the heels ot the accounts of tbe insurrections in Candia and Bulgaria, bodes much mischief.

Tbe latest advices from Candia, to the 18th of May, state that the insurrection haa not been suppressed, the number of insurgents increases daily, and they resolvsd to let things oome to extremities. Many of the principal families, have aireadv left the Island for Syra and other parts of Greece. It was ramored Tahir Pacha had landed there, with 5000 men, and a strong psrk of artillery, determining to reduce the rebels to submission. Letters from the Turkish frontier, of tbe 3d aft. state that the Greek Patriarch at Constantinople, waa dismissed by tbe Porte for privately eoeouraging tbe rebellion in Belgaria.
