FLATTICRINS PROSPECTS Or ALABANA.—The new crop of cotton is now opening and the planters are 'beginning to gather it ; the.staple of the present crop as far as we have learned, is very excellent, nor has there been a single instance of the rot this season ' within our knowledge: should the season and market continue favourable, our enterprising planters may flatter themselves with the expectation of being richly and bountifully rewarded for all their privations, toils and labours, in settling this conntry---they have toiled indeed, but they will reap the rich reward of their labours. The crops of corn are also very abundant ; corn 'nay now be engaged in the adjoining counties, at twen.y cents a bushel! two years ago it sold here for R 4 50 aniLss a bushel !

'l. Powell's sews Thomas, a lad shout 12 years old, went out with a gun on the farm of his father, about 3 miles east of thi.; city. Ile had not proceeded far before he espied a Bald Eagle, perched on a small tree ; the lad crawled up under cover of a brush fence, u here be rested his piece, tired and brought the Eam,k to the ground; but. not being otherwise tharf slightly wounded in his wings, as soon as he touched the ground be made towards the boy with the fury of a tiger. The hoy not being alarmed at the menacing attitude of the E.agle, crawled over the brush fence as soon as possible, and seised a stale? (being unable to get his gun over) triad, proved insufficient; he at length procured a sake is WI which he beat the Eagle sometime before he was able to level him. The Eagle measures 74 fret tru:n the tip of otto wing to the tip of the other; his talons are about :; inches long, and he weighs about 10 or 12 pounds. 001411 EN, X ICIV-VOIIK. tier. 11. Bras Hrstr.—On Thursday morning, the 12tla instant, font bean were seen to cross the road near the house of Mr. Knott Mapes, in the town of Walkill, and enter the wood near by. On notice thereof, the inhahi:ants to the number of about fifty, i.nmediately collerted, and commenced pursuit, at half-past eight o'clock, A.M.; an•l, in less than three hours, had the satisfaction of killing and bringing in the whole num ber, without accident to any of the party. Died, at Cincinnati, Ohio, a young African, known by the came of Lord irelliegtoo, aprod 16 yean. He was born on the banks of the flialios, a Prince— the chance of war made him a slave. He was par 'ettased lo Heath America in lsl-1, by a gostientait belonging to Salem, who gave taw his Itherti. Prom choice he followed his liberator, and faithfully served bun until bis death. The mutability of furtnne, and nneertainty of pnh. lir justice or fardur, in republics, as well as mo• narrliPs, have been strikingly exemplified in the case of the late Admiral Landaus, Commander of the fri. gate Alliance, in the n ar for I ndependence,who deceased in this city the beginning of the present month, up wards of SO years of age. The balance of his claims on our government, for prite-money in the recoln tionary war, is 36,000 dollars. Yet the respectable old veteran was suffered to die in the alms-house hos pital,•anil be iaterred in the Potter's Field, without a single person to foPow him to his grave, where his remains lie, amon g those of the felons, vagrants and paupers of the town, a itbont a. token of remembrance from the Cincinnati, the navy, the patriot, the lininane citizens, or the friends to the revohition, in which lie rendered services to our country. We did not intend this remark, especially as it might imply censure where none is merited ; hut if it aaaken inquiry, and lead to an act of votive justice, it will not have been made in vain. H. TOE MONSTROUS A ret.z.--Yester.:ay morning, Mr. Desnarest, the post-master at Waterford, In this state, left at the office of the New York Gazette, an apple weighing !S 1-2 minces. This apple is free of specks, green and beautiful, and may be seen at the (Am for two or three days, after which it will be put into the hands of Messrs. Waldo and Jewett, the eminent por trait painters, that it may be placed upon canvas in durable colours. as it is likely the largest apple that ever grew, or that will probably ever grow. This apple, with several bushels nearly as large from one tree, was raised by Mr. Joshua Finch, a farmer, at Stillwater, and Mr. Demurest, who is a gen tleman of the strictest inteerity, inf,ruts us, that, of the parcel of apples brought t.t Market by Mr. Finch, heweighed 79 of them, and that the whole. weight , was 34 pounds.—Xew York Gissette. MOUNT PLEAVANT, OCT. 24.--•MANINOTLI NAN.— On Saturday last, a pear was shown t.) ns, which was weighed in the presence of several gentleman, and its weight exceeded two pounds. It crew on a graft on the farm of Mr. Layrock, in this town; and the sane graft contained a number of others of smaller size, al though this is but a third year since the graft was placed on ae apple tree.— roe York Colonstima. tiCErrac,4)..T.l9. — Toe WeolGer.—The tops of the most distant mountains to the northward, visible from thil city, were covered with snow un Friday last the 13th inst. for the first time this scoots. On Satur• day evening &loom dusk, there commenced a heavy rain which lamed till Monday evening. Many small bridges and fences have been carried away by the rising of the streams and rivers, which were higher than they bare been known to be fur a great many years. The eastern papers contain accounts of the damage done -by the late freshet. That Connecticut, Merri ' meek. Kennebec, and Androscoggin riven were awed. ed is arc stinseal height, sod the Nifty done*, the farms and roads on their boarders t as well as the lam of bridges, ruins, and private buildings, have been very great. The Merrimack rose to a greater height titan has been *flown in 29 years. Among other pro perty destroyed- are the mills of Judge Livermore, estimated at slO,OOO. Vast quantities of lumber were washed down the Kennebec, together with large numbers of cattle and sheep, and many of the mills and bridges iu the vicinity. The roads in many places impassable. The greatiat damage is said to have been done on the Androscoggin, where the loss is esti mated at sl2s,ooo.—(Amerieati). MEETING of the PARISI! of ST. ANNE, ROM. (Continued from The i;aterman of yesterday.) On the Meeting bring adjourned into the Church yaid. the Chair was placed upon an elevated tomb. and the business of the Meeting re-commenced. Mr. Flscn read again the tint resolution, which was seconded by Mr. De Vann and a seemed time passed unanimously, It is as follows:-- 1. That this Meeting is decidedly of opinion, that not one of the foul charges sgainst Wer Majesty hod the smallest foundati o n i n 'truth, but that they were the , resell of a most scandalous conspiracy I which has, for years, been persevered in with unparalleled malig nity. The second resolution was— Y. That the Bill of Pai n s an d P en alti es was o di o us, unjust, illegal, and scandalons, equally disgraceful to those who prepared and those who entertained it,-and would, had it been passed into a law, have stamped eternal infamy npon this nation. This was moved hv Mr. Belton!, and seconded by Mr. Green, and carried unanimously. Mr. Ilonnocse said the Committee had put into Lis hands a Resolution, in the substance of which he cor dially agreed, and which he was convinced would meet with no opposition. " That we rejoice that so iniquitons a Rill has been defeated by the spontaneous voice of a people, justly indignant at the attempt to degrade the Queen and the ;collie to a level with its promoters." Now, after the reperienee of many months since the first attempt to introdu re this iniquitous Bill, it was to be seen who were the true friends of the laws, of the eoustitution, of subordination, and who were the ene mies of the peace and prosperity of the Constitntion. It was the people alone who had r ai.seit Cie great a,nd immortal triumph in the cause of jtistice ; it was the people only, who fareetl on the winds of those who were st first reluctant to receive itolie salutarvaruth; on this case of illegal pers.cution against the Queen, depended the seenfay, according to law, of every man's person and property. it was Issaa found permit; (muck to their credit). to join the voice. of the people in the House of Lords; and in the other House there were some, arming whom he was an hum-, I,le individual, who had made, early attempt to stop the measure altogether. Bat without the voice of the people all efforts would - have been unavailing.. If they wanted any proof of the resolution, the appearance of the inotropolis yesterday was convincing as to its truth. It was impossible for any one who witnessed that vast assemblage of people to doubt what had been and was would, he was convinced, continue to be), the voice of the people. It was a satisfaction worth a whole life to obtain, to see that magnificent assemblage. which proved, that so often as the people were left to their means of preserving the peace, there would be ago breach of the peace.—(Applause.) They were now so accustomed to see the Sovereigii surrounded by his Boards—to see every avenue through which the true feeling of the nation could reach him stopped, that it was as novel as it was pleasing to see the Queen with out a single Guard to preserve the peace.—(Applause.) lie would not say that it was necessary for the protec tion of the other branch of Royalty. Par Irmo it. The people felt nothing like disgust or distaste towards j the King separately from the arts of his Ministers— and lie (Mr. II.) was convinced that his Majesty would have no difficulty in making himself as popular a Kin.r as any that ever sat on the Throne. linty a few wdrds spoken by him would make all the Boards that usually accompanied him to Parliament, and would mace him safe in an assemblage of his people, as grate ful and as enthusiastic as that which had yesterday snrrouniled the Queen. It was his (Mr. Hothouse's) coniie:ion, that it was impossible that the present system could continue—the present scheme of Ad ministration, plunder, and prescript , could not go on—the people must become the mere clods of the earth, without animation, or the system mast be subverted, and on the rains of it one• of justice and freedom erected. He (Mr. Ilobboose) alluded to a mistake in a respectable part of the Press, Tor Chromiele, in whirls it was imputed to Lord William Russell and himself, that they had said, that they did not wish for achange of Ministry. This was a mistake; he had said, that there was an absolute necessity for a change of Ministry—(Applause). But in saying so, he had added, that no Change of men cooed be of use without a change of system ; that with out that change no men could carry on the (lucent me it without finding thenisrlve, in the sme predica melt as the present Ministry. He was anxious to rectify this error, because he felt it necessary that the people should come forward to call for a change of lien and system ; without a change of system no• hottest men could accept office; without it he was sine no honest men could coritiatte in office. It was impossible that the people could continue to be op ', pressed without any other answer to their complaints than dungeons, halters, and bayonets; it was impos sible, or this country must be stink to the lowest pitch of roils and desolation—(Hear, hear, hear!) There I was no oecarity for the governors or the governed, without the formation of a national council, which I should speak the opinions . of the nation—(Applsnse). It wa! not isatpoesitle now for any one to say, beyond fear of contradiction, what the sentiments of the na tion were. Hundreds of thousands, probably mil- Hoes of people, had spoken on the present occasion, Rick Swan Ps and yet thy,* were persons found to say, that the opi nions of th , people were not pronounced. These per sons were housed thee, on their owe shetrinirte f ores some plan by which the opinion oft, the people shoal I be proasmeced.

But, no; the real object was, that her Majesty should have no accomui i• dation, and no carpet was allowed at all [stris o: shame, shame! and cries u: indignation]. So that i Illtelillt at present the anxious wish of the hieli-t Clt• i ty to chew no sympathy with the people. Perhaps. i: might be injudicious in him to allude to this, as it tv;.• said in a paper calling itself The New Times (a lamel.) that lie had no religion. Hit was to have no religion to hate persecution, and to wish to put a stop t.. a measure opposed by every principle of justice, then he had no religion. But if the Christian Religion tauglit charity, recommended a fair interpretatiou of the t on duet of others, and prescribed no comleuthatiaa trial nut trial, and abhorred false witnesses, then lie lam( as notch religion, and perhaps more, than the per,iiiii who load dared to make such an attack (applan,e). It might sewn ridienions for him to answer such at tacks, for se long as he had been connected with the City of Westininister he had been assailed by all the names which malice and the vulgar tongue could sup ply- lie was satisfied ander this abuse, while be met with the flattering support of the Electors of West- minster, and, as lie believed, of the independent part of the kingdom (load applause). _ The Resolution was moved, seconded, asol agreed to unenimedely. - Mr. P. Moons said, they were now driven to the last retreat of the human race,- the church-yard (a laugh); but they should not mind, for the lower they were the more they should be exalted; Themes not the first time that Members of the Church bad shewu their disposition, in reference to the persecution of the geese. Wiese bad Sew iii•hemps to do in that *nein. loos Court of Judicature, with the ribaldry which would offend all male as well as female ears ? They should have withdrawn themselves from the first, should have endeatoured to stop the ehameful pro ceedings altogether. Hut they had waite:l there. with the exception of his Right Rev. Friend the Bishop of Norwich, in the hope of profiting by translations, tome of which had actually taken place pending the proceed ings. With respect to the Rev. Bent. their Rector, they had perhaps a right to inquire why, while 6 days out of the seven he did nothing, he chose to deinte his pa rishioner* the nse of the Church ? The Bill of Pains and Penalties led them to the discussion of matte:4 very distant front i-, and to investigate their dormant rights and privileges. The Hon. Beat. then alluAed to the conduct of the Archdeacon of Brecon, who had been very an k ry with his flock for thinking of July thing like an Address to the Queen, hut who had (he understood) said, in consequence of the pea:cable dis position of the people yesterday, that we might cis pease with fill thousand of the standing army. Ile agreed with Mr. Hohbotise in saying, that it was ere voice of the people that had achieved the triumph—it was not the Queen's innocen-r, nor the infamy of tSe arensatrin that hail operated on her Judges, bnt t im e voice of the people. The people were assisted indite., ' by many Lords, but they never came up to the tone , the people out of doors. The Hon. Gentleman then spoke at . length on the urg'ut necessity of a Reform of Parliament,' and a change of system, and obterred that thireen chimney-streepers taken at random, woo not do so much harm in the Ministry as the thirteen Cabinet Nlinirters, as the danger nag not from what they conid got, but from what they could do; there was not s 3 much to be feared from incapacity even in high stations, as from talents without integrity of heart or honest,. The 4th Resolution was moved, seconded and car ried unanimously. " That the boss of libertyt the destruction of tra;ie: the annihilation of counnerce ; the stoppage of mani las-tures; the lamentable depression of agriculture; and the shameless peFseention of oar beloved Queen, clay ad be traced to the defective state of the Representation of the people in the Commons House of Parliament. The next Resolution, fountimT on the former pat% was moved by Mr. Arrest, and sccanded 14114.111r lleadeach; and carried unanimously. • . S.
