Hempstead, acting partner for the Missouri Fur company at St. Louis, from Mr John Pilcher, acting partner for the Upper Missouri, dated Fort Lisa, July 13, 1822. Dear Sir I am happy to inform you of the safe return of our mountaineers,

contrary to my expectations, from letteis received in January last. A part of them arrived in this place on the 2d inst. They left their position on the river Platte, near the first range of mountains in the month of December last, accompanied by the Crow nation crossed the mountains, and early in the month of March fell on the waters of the Big Horn, Sc the operations of the spring trade was canied on up-n that and other tiiburary streams of the Yellow Stone. About the 20th of A ay, Messrs. lmmell and Jones concentrated the party at the mouth of the Big Horn. Pirauquis wei e made for the puipose ot descending the Yellow Stone. On the

The following gives us an account of a new ci'.dbifchhicnt in JNc.v Hampshire :

From thr Xevj York Statesman As evidence of the progiess o manufactures, I will mention an establishment which I visited at Dover, New Hampshire, which promises to rival, if i.ot surpass, the cck bra-.ed manufactory at altham, Massachusetts The capital ot mc company is S50 00i- I hCy 1-C u Col. totnactoiy, which was put in operation duiing the war. w hie;.

About t 00 tons of iron are rolled and slit at this u ill per year. The 3d stojy is used as a nail factory, and from 6 t 700 tons ul i.on ;.tr yeai arc cut into nails in this facioiy.

The Norn.'fc Herald contains the following notice of this promising young officer, who was iost in the boat of tin Franklin, near VaU pataiso: 41 Cremer was, it may be said, rcsrorj from the grasp of obsrurity by com. D;catuie, when a mere child, on accoun; of some striking trait of character which accidentally developed itself o the o!ser vation of that intelligent officer, who took him under his guardianship and proem i el him a midshipman's warrant in the na v, and he was attached to the commod ie-4 command during the whole of the h:o war. We have often heard him sn';k:n of by his brother officers as a young man of extraoulinary genius, intrepidity, af.d piofessional acquirements; and a-i ore who bade fair to make his way to the highest honois, by dint of native woith, and superior merit " To the above may be added that Cremer was on board the ftigate Ui.itr.-i Slates when she captured the MacedoMian. lie was then a mere boy brought ori board by one of the seamrn,and a' te;( rs powder monkey.
