to 2«. 5d. per barrel. Since our last report several parcels of new Wheat have appeared daily from Ireland, but of flour the receipts are small, whilst of other articles thence, or of arty coast wise, tho supplies are scarcely worth notice and beyond 2,712 quarters of Wheat from Dantzig, the arrivals from a? broad are equally trivial. Although we have had little business passing generally in the Corn trade from the close of Tuesday's market until to-day, Wheat and other leading articles, during that period, assumed a firm aspect, exhibiting a tendency to improve in value, which by the proceedings on our Corn Exchange this-piorning has been in some degree confirmed. The weather here is still exceedingly fine, and our reports from tfie late districts in the north are, on this point, equally favorable.

From the Indiana Journal. THE CANVASS OF 1840.

A NATIONAL CURRENCY.' t-'. .* jKo. i. 4f we were to heed the sayings of a certain peculiar class of politicians we should really be led to the conclusion that the great battle of 1840 was a mere matter of child's play fought without an object, stimulated without a wrong, and that, in short, it was but a sort of dramatic performance in reference to which, the curtain having fallen, it is sufficient to say that theplap was well enough, and it is over. And what is most (eculiar about these peculiar politicians is the fact that they ore forenuMi among those who affect the utmost indignation whenever the Locofoco presses proper stigmatize that popular uprising, AS THEY THEMSELVES prarttW/^stigmatizo it I We hear the men to whom we allude, giving vent to excited reprobation if a Locofoco editor asserts that the campaign under HARRISON was but an undefined and silly uproar, and yet we hear them a/so loudly asserting that the whigs of 1843—the National Currency—Protective Tariff—Land Distribu* tion—Clay—-and anti veto whigs of 1843 are by no means the same in principle with those who achieved power in 1840 I .There is pe* culiarity indeed in this igs of 1840 wore not excited withtremendous popular enthusiatn^Wtuch^Pt swept over us, akin in fervor ortiy 40 nfeijg out-bursts which, in other Innds/hqioJigHed the fires of revolution, and produced^ at the &oenseof lives and treasure, desired governmental changes, thai enthusiasm was not without if corresponding cause. And when a community thus rises up, demanding change in tho men and measures wbiah have controlled ihem, the very natural tliMkltwy art* unanimous in the wish to change front that which they alitor to its opposite, which thoy desire. The baud ^of ao Omnipotent Being could hardly traced in more legible colors, though they had

culties from which the American People then sought disembarrassment. They had then learned that, from the moment of the disturbance of the central Currency up to that hour, all had been but fluctuation and ruin in the Currency. They had descended from inflated banks to explosions from explosions to a Sub-Treasury, while tho descent had been marked by general distress and public profiiacy and peculation, utterly insupportable.— very extreme had been unsuccessfully tried to restore the great Balance Wheel which had been thrust from tho machinery every alternative which could be devised by the wisdom of those Rulers whose hands had interfered with thnt delicate department of policy had been unsuccessfully embraced and tested in the vain hope of produd&ig by-gone prosperity. Yet still those Hulcifrc|ung with crucl tenacity to their projects. Though individuals groaned aloud fpr relief and stability though States cried out for a /lstoation of a lost prosperity, still those RuieWclung with rash and tyrannical despotism to their own arbitrary Currency schemes-, as reckless of experienco as they were regardless of the imploring voices and metancholy condition of the People* No wonder was it, then, that

tones at the ballot-box in condemnation of this wrong and oppression. We have dwelt thus long upon the question of the Currency, because it is this question which the "peculiar class of politicians" affect seriously to moot: and now we ask, is it not trifling with all common sense to say that the verdict of the people, in 1840, was not passed, loudly and solemnly passed upon this question Was that verdict a welcoming back of the State Bank System, whose progress had visited them with ruin! Was tt a demand for a Sub Drtasury which, rejected by them in evory preliminary election, they then so signally hurled from their acceptance or was it not, on tin contrary, a demand, as universal and emphatic as an earnest and free People could utter, that the destructive experiments which had blighted

It appears that

some company had assembled at the house of a Mrs. Brady, when a dispute took place between George Brock and Samuel Dias.— The quarrel proceeded to blows—when it is said that Dias seizing an axe, felled Brock to the ground, and by one or more blows almost severed his head from his body. Brock died immediately. Dias was taken into custody and is now lodged in the Jail of our County.

CARPETING.

The first Woolen Factory, eructed in the Jailed States, was al Hartford, in 1700, and, it is said, that WAiuiraotoK delivered his inaugural address to Congress, in a suit of broadcloth from that factory.

The example set by the Father of hi^ country is a good one, and ought to be followed, whenever it can be. Yet the last Congress does not seem to be at nil mindful of it: for it sent to Europe for carpeting, when quality as good, cheaper, and HOME made, could have been obtained from American? factories.

We have alluded once already, to the great, improvements which have been made in our* country in this article. Yesterday, passing by the Carpet Store of J. C. RingwRlt, nearly opposite to our office, we were induced to' look in, and were, really struck with the superiority in all respects of the AMERICAN over the FOREIGN fabrics. They are finer in fig*J ure, stronger and cheaper* And yet when in the interior of the West we can see thir result of American enterprise, the late Congress was either ignorant of it, or unwilling to encourage it. *Let us hope, in all Otters of this kind, no such remissness will be practised hereafter^ and that the example set by Washington will!" be earnestly followed by all good and true Americans.—Cincinnati Gazette»,

But what wns his surprise when„v"J on his return back, to find both cows with -'. their heads turned to, and stretched horizontally upon the ground, dead, the necks of bothT being broken.—Bellows* Fait Gasitie.
