COMMODORE BARRON. NeW-TTORK, JULY 11. The Court of Enquiry in the case of Commodore Buron. closed, its sittings yesterday ; and. if we arc correctly informed, there was not a shadow of evidence in support of the surmise against this gentleman's character. It may now be reasonably hoped that the Commodore will not only be restored to the confidence of his government and fellow-citizens, but to his rank.

William B. Whitesidcs, sheriff of

Madison county Illinois, and Major Sinclair, have been arrested for robbery committed at the house of a Mr. Dixon, an old man living in Green county, Illinois, from whom it is said, they took about twelve hundred dollars. After a laborious investigation before judge Reynolds, they were held to bail to appear at the next term of the Circuit Court. St. Louis Reg. Post-Office Establishment. Having seen it stated in the newspapers, that the Revenue of the Post Office Establishment would, for the prrsrnt year, fall short of its expenses by forty thousand dollars, we have taken the trou

b!e to enquire, with a view of obtaining

correct inlormaiion on the subject In

the year 18 19, the aggregate amount of

postage received was 828,7 1 6 dollars. -The tolal cost of transportation. Sec for that year was 743,456 dollars leaving a

proht of 85,251 In the year 120. tho

a nount of postage received was $769. 674

bemg a diminution in the receipts

of S69,0 i attributable to the reduction

of correspondence between the commer cial cities. In the same year the expen

ses were 782 S60, being an increase of

g38 $24 attributable to a new set of

post roads established bv Congress

which went into operation on the first

January of that year, at an annual cost of

45,000. The revenue of the Post Office

therefore fell short of its annual expendi

ture in the last veir, by g47,4'4 During the present tear another new set of post roads has gone into operation, adding &6.000 more 1o the expense of the establishment ; and it is estimated that its income wi'l be reduced still further, bv 30 or 40 thousand dollars ; so that the revenue of the Post Office for the present year will, in all probability, fall short a hundred thousand dollars of its xnenes The Post OuVe Establishment in our country, where newspapers postage is so low, and so many newspapers and letters o-n f....r and where so vas a country is ineluded in its lines, cannot, for manv vears iiTonic a source of profit to the country. In some vars indeed, it has yielded a revenue; and. duting the year of double postage, it vielded something like n quarter of a million of dol'ars Tn ceneral, however, perhaps more ourrht not to he cv parted than that its revenue s ouhl he tou-d to its expenditure. Rm itsexpendi"rc ourht mt to exceed its revenue. '1 deficiency for fhe last and present veas we presume, may be supplied bv forchi?- collections of debts due to the of fire. but. for future vears, sof more prm-mcn provisions will he necessary, and will renur the attention nf Congress. s the Legislature cannot force the T-ommcrce e-f te country to flourish, ro ti e receips from postage to augment, 'J onh course left, is to reduce the expms of the Post Oflief.

lief it appears that there are now in this city and its immediate vicinity, 4000 looms at work in the manufacture of cot

ton fabrics only, excluding those which

are employed in manufacturing woolen

cloths, Sec. 1 hey work up, on a moder

ate average, four pounds of cotton each day, making a total of 16,000 pounds of cotton every twenty-four hours, and 96,000 pounds a week, and are principally

in the nanus ot small capitalists, them selves manufacturers, who find a ready sale for their work, at a fair price, at the

end of each week, for cash. Many of their fabrics are confessedly superior in quality to similar articles imported from abroad, or from other states They have the decided preference of the consumer

and of the country merchant. These looms have been set to work within four months, and it is not straining probability to anticipate an increase of them to 16.000 looms in less than six months, which will work up 64,000 pounds of cotton every day. Nor can there be a doubt that these manufactures will maintain the preference they have in the market, and more and more attract the attention of the country merchants. To the planter this is glorious news. Already cotton has advanced from nine to fifteen cents a pound. But it is glorious news to the citizens of Philadelphia also which, we trust, is about to fulfil her destinies by becoming the greatest manufacturing city in the Union. Nor can it be less pleasing to the f'riends and foes of the proposed new tariff On the one hand, the success of manufacures so conducted, in spite of foreign competition, is demonstrated ; and on the other, it is shown that this success does not demand any further govermeninterference with the course of foreign commerce. Augusta (Geo.) July 14 DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO AND HAILSTORM. A tarnado, of the most awful nature in its effects, passed through the counties of Ogiethrope, Wilkes, and Lincoln, on Sunday morning, the 15th inst and destroyed and injured every thing in its progress. The largest trees were uprooted and twisted from their trunks - barns blown down, and their contents (corn and wheat) scattered before the wind--prom-ising plantations of corn and cotton utterly ruined, and many persons made beggars, who a moment before deemed themselves independent.

Fincastle, Va. July 16. From every section of country, we hear complaints of ruined harvest, in consequence of the rain that has fallen--It was not only the quantity which fell but the long time it was falling, that proved so calamitous. Nearly all the grain which was cut is entirely lost, and even that which was standing, has commenced sprouting. The farmers despair of saving enough of wheat for seed.

Copy of a letter from Mr. John Vawter

'A J -J v ' ' - - " r Mr L g 9 to col Richard T. Johnson dated Vermont, 20th June 1821. Sir On the 11th and 12th days of December last I was at Fort Wayne, which place is little better than a wilderness being surrounded with numerous Indian visitors of the neighboring tribes, but what claimed my attention mostly was the good order and harmony that appeared in a school of about 80 young Indians, who had voluntarily come under the tuition of Elder Isaac M'Coy, perhaps one of the most pious of his day ; and who has devoted more of his time to Indian reform than any other man in the United States, considering him possessing but a small portion of this world's goods, and of an extreme feeble constitution but when brought nearest the grave his mind seems most deeply impressed with the deplorable situation of the Indians. He lives poor, although himself and wife appear well reconciled and consider they are working for the Lord. The Eider informed me that his

greatest affliction was that of not being

: able to receive into his school as many as wished to come under his care, owing to his limited means to support them, & could not consistently with his feelings intimate to the old Indians his poverty He said that provisions and clothing Books and paper, would all be very acceptable as donations in support of said school. I thought if it were practicable to obtain part of the ten thousand dollars, I put at the disposal of the President of the United States (above what has been received) it could not be better applied, nor intrusted into hands more safe The familv of young Indians with the family

of white, all sit at the same table and eat of the same dish and appear to take learning in all respects as readily as the

, whites. Could you be a means of aiding

this man in his laudable Undertaking, I

shall consider you have added another laurel to your wreath of honor. Accept dear sir, my best wishes, for your future prosperity, JOHN VAWTER.

Hon. R. M. Johnson.
