We had hoped to hive been able to lav before our readers in this day's paper, a correct statement of the pods in this senatorial district but have not been ub:e io obtain them from tither Davis or Ma tin counties if they can be procured, they shall appear in our next. Another Bank closed. The Bank of Missouri has confessed its inability to pa) its notes by refusing to do so but its president, like the agent of all institutions of a like kind, declares its psrfect soiven cy. It appears we were misinformed, as to the rcsuit of the election in Vigo S Parkr Joseph Shelby, is elected by a small ma joiitv over Robert Murgus and Thos II. IJ ake to the sen.ite from that district by a majority of 455 votes over Ilarber. The sale of Public Land in Rrookville in the last two eeks has amounted to upwards of ninety thousand dollars, we havenot been able to get a statement from the Receiver in consequence of the great press of business, but 'tis beleived the average price received per acre is about two dollars and twenty-five cents, and the most that any land sold f r, i not exceeding 86 per acre. Broukville Enq Another Revolutionary Hern Gone. DIED in this place on Thursday the 23d ult. Maj. JO IN IIA.KRISOV, in the 67th year of his age In our revolutionary struggle, as well as in the expelMng the savages from this emmtrv, the value of the services of the deceased "were almost incalculable. He was a persevering and intrepid soldier a firm patriot a warm friend and a render relative. He was interred on the 24th, -with Military Honors. Lou Pub. Adv. As every thin which comes from the lsage of Quincy" excites merited interest with the community, we have solicited for publication a copy of the fol'owing letter Montizf.li o, 16th Ju'y. 1821. Gerry Fairhank Esqr. Sir I thank you for an ingenous and ph-uMug oration pronounced by vou on the Fourth of Julv The spirit of moderation and impartiality, which rims through it, is very amiable, ank keeps pace with the spirit of liberty and patriotism which adorns it U is not in my power, to point out particularly the beauties or the faults in this composition; but I beg leave to ugget a query, whether it is worth while for us, to take much notice of the Pri'ish claims of supevioritv over us We must cawbd'v acknow ledge, that thev greatly exceed us in miny respects. F st in antiquity We arc but two hundred vcars o'd They are two thousand, and if the baHs and hallads cf the Welsh, and the mornmcnty of literature and science of the Druids, had not been unfortim?.t 'v lost, they might, buf frr what we know, have boasted of two thousand more nearly js respectable as any. Secondly, their yentlemcn's seats in the country are much more elegant than ours Our vmnns and Quincvs ; our Wells and Parsons ; our Gores and Preb'es. can exhibit iothing, comparable to Hagley ; Mount Fd -comb or Stowc. We have no pleasure grounds or gravel walks, winding rfo tk! a compass of half a dozen miles in Ho .garth's waving line of beauty, ornamented with flowers and roses, with forest trees and shruberrn s. collected from all parts of the world, to be compared with theirs. We have no country houses presenting a front of thirteen hundred ard Jtru feet, with porticoes supported by pi I Kirs of marble und of composition, of splendour and magnificicncc, to be compared to theirs. We have no temples to Bacchus, or to V. nus. or to Victory Wc have not a Corinthian gate, which would cost the price of a county with us, through which you enter to behold with anrptize, the astonishing front of the pabce. Indeed we have not an ornamental farm to be compared with that at Wo-

burn, Pavne's hill or even Shenstones Leaowcs,. Thirdly, they excel us io a rational debt, that inexhaustible source of national and individual wealth, by n sagacious speculation in w hich a man may make a hundred thousand pounds scTng in a night. Such a debt is a let t"diz:"g source of literature and science. It enables thousands and tens of thousands to purchase books and libraries, to the great encouragement of authors to employ their leisure and exert their genius in il- i Iuminatirur the world. Fourthly, wc have not as vet been blessed with pmerals and admirals, whoso bravery ad patriotism have conquered sixty or a bond ed millions of nconle. abounding in all f p rich-

swept from the ocean, til the commerce 'dispersed, and three Turkish frigates f the world. There are many articles ' Were in icadiness in the Uosphorus, to in which they outstrip us in the rice of take the Gtand S dgnior. his riches, and competition, but I have not time to enu- his wives and concubines, said to amount mcrate more and must conclude abruptly to 800, to his dominions it.

TRPDRRICKTOWN, JULY 25. Extra rdniary Flood. Only a few weeks l ave elapsed since w e had to record the devastations ot the "mighty fl )od." But that was but a rippling stream to what was experienced by the inhabitants of this town and neighboi hood on Monday night last. Duri ng the day an immense body of water had fallen. About dusk tbe towh creek began to swrMI, and inashrt tiuie a torrent of watr rushed from the mountains with such irresistible force as to ttar up pavements sweep away fences, bridges, stne walls kc. ' he meadows were completely in undated, and the first floors of the houses in t'ie vicinity were covered with water With Mich rapidity did the water rise thai some families i eliding neai Hi ti z-Town bridge were sunonnded before they could make their escape A hack (owned by Mr ferry) employed to assist thrtn. whilst waiting at Mr. Springer's door, was precipitated into an adjoining lot where it lodged The darkness of the night made it impossible to render anv assistance, or ewn to ascertain the fit? of the driver. About one o'clock. howcve the rater ha i:,g considerablv subsided.) P was discovered that he w as securely perched on a wiUo.v tree, having been most fortunately thrown against it. The horses were drouw d, and were found with the hack yesteuh'v morning King in the lot.
