FLORIDA.
The St. Augustine 'Herald; states that the whole party
of Co-a-coo-thee, (Wild Cat) 21 warriors, had only
three ounces of powder in their horns. Among the 16
taken by Col. Childs, there was only one ounce.
The following items are extracted from the St. Augus-
tine News of the 18th inst.
There is thought to be every security- now by some, in
this neighbourhood, because Wild Cat is out of the way.
This may lead to a neglect of proper caution. Sant
Grass, the sub-chief of his party, is a bold and daring
fellow, and knows well the country ; and watchfulness on
the part of the citizen and traveller, is still requisite as
heretofore.
A man named Harrison, was brought in yesterday
morning from Pilatka, and lodged in prison., for the mur-
der of his wife, at that place.
A soldier of" K " Company, 3d Artillery, named Hill,
fell from the parapet of Fort Marion, on the 15th in-
stant, and broke his leg, and was otherwise severely
injured.
There was a report in town yesterday that Mr. Knapp,
Cashier of the Mineral Point Bank, had been murdered.
How much truth is in the rumour we are unable to state.
—St. Louis Bulletin, June 21.
TOBASCO.—We are indebted to the politeness of a com-
mercial house for several numbers of the Aurora pub-
lished at San Jean Baptista Tobasco, as late as the 27th
ult. It appears that the Maldonados faction, which
kept up an agitation in the State with a view to bring
about a military depotism, has been entirely broken
up and disorganized by the activity of the military
Commander, Don Francisco de Sentmanos. The Mal-
donados has been for some time fomenting Ifplots, and
has kept up a secret correspondence with Santa Ana.
The arrest of the leaders and the destruction of their
party secures the peace and prosperity of the free and
independent State of Yuctan.--N. 0. Courier,
MOST Ronan) MURDER.—On Saturday evening last,
a little girl, about ten or eleven years old, the daugh-
ter of Mr. James Cochram, of Lincoln county, was
murdered in the most brutal manner, by a negro man
belonging to Mr. Irving. It appears that the negro
had ran away and gone to Harrodsburg celebration.
A few minutes before he committed the murder,
some angry words were passed between him and
the brother of the little girl. Meeting her soon after,
in the road, he inquired if she was sister of the young
man who had abused him ; she replied that she was.
Thereupon, seizing a rail, he struck her several times
upon the head, literally smashing her skull to pieces,
and causing her death to ensue in a few moments. Ile
immediately fled, but was pursued and taken the next
day, and committed to gaol in Stanford.--:Kentucky
Bile, June 26.

PROGRESS OF TEMPERANCE.—The Miner's Journal,
published at Pottsville, Pa. says :—" We have upwards
of three thousand teetotalers in this region. Beat that if
you can."

THE CROPS ON LONG ISLAND.—These, so far as we
can ascertain, are all flourishing. The corn looks ex-
ceedingly well. Wheat and Rye are forward, and give
prospect of a good crop.—Brooklyn Evening Star.
THE CROPS.—The crops of this county have suffered
comparatively little from drought. We have frequently
had showers, and were last Saturday blessed with a
copious rain. We are informed by the farmers from the
country that the crops, particularly of corn, grain, and
grass, never looked more promising.—Portsmouth (N. II.)
Gazette, June 29.

The Skaneatales (Onondaga Co. N. Y.) paper of Fri-
day speaks of" the weather as fine, and the crops full of
promise." " The crops generally look extremely well."
The cashier of the Citizens Bank of New Orleans
offers 500 dollars reward for the detection of any person
guilty of issuing al 30 counterfeit bills on that institu-
tion. The counterfeit ssos are all attempted imitations
of the cl I plate.
The steamer Col. Harney has arrived at New Orleans
from Tampa Bay, for the purpose of conveying Wild
Cat back to Florida. The Chief and his band of fif-
teen, were shipped for that port in a schooner, which
has not yet arrived. It is stated that the other Indians
refuse to come in to emigrate, unless Wild Cat, whom
they consider to have been unfairly nabbed, shall be
brought back and set at liberty.

NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.
TUESDAY NIGHT.—The amount of business transacted
at the Board to-day was light, except in United States
Bank shares, of which about 2,800 were sold, closing
at 18 1-2, an improvement of 3-8 ; American Exchange
Bank went up 1 per cent ; Delaware and Hudson 1 7-3 ;
Harlem declined 1-8 ; Stonington 1-2.
The operations in State Stocks were light—lndiana
Bonds' sold at 55 1-4, a decline of 3-4 percent., and Ster-
ling at 51 1-2, a decline of 1-2 per cent.
The inquiry for Foreign Exchange is very light. Ster-
ling Bills are held at 8 1-4 a 8 1-2 ; Francs sf. 27 1-2
a sf. 30.
There appears to be a rather better feeling among the
Cotton holders, consequent upon the foreign advices, al-
though the sales to-day have beeil rather small, and with
no change in rates. The news from abroad has also tend-
ed to make the Flour market rather buoyant, although no
improvement in prices has been noticed to-day. We
quote G-, nesee 5 50 a 5,561, with some lots not strictly
fancy at $5,621 ;Ohio 5,371, a 5,50; Michigan N,3l+ a 5,371 ;
Georgetown and Howard-street $5,50. The receipts of
all descriptions are light. No sales of Corn Meal. We
have yet no supplies of Southern Corn or Oats. Sales
about 4,000 bushels Northern Corn in lots to eastern-
men at 61 a 63c. Rye is rather more plenty, but the
market has been swept. Sales 1,000 bushels not de-
livered at 59c. ; 900 do. at 61c. ; 4,000 do. at 61- a
62c. delivered ; 3,500 do. on private terms, and 1,000 do.
Jersey at 60c. delivered ; 1,500 bushels Northern Oats
at 46c. Ashes of both descriptions have an upward ten-
dency, and the arrivals are limited.
The Alton Telegraph says, " The statement that a
writ of quo warranto had been awarded against the Bank
of Illinois and Shawneetown, is incorrect, no such pro-
cess having been obtained.
(Correspondence of the Courier and Enquirer.)
PHILADELPHIA, JULY 6,1841,--Yesterday, of course;

no business was done, and not Muth more to-d4y. Bread
Stuffs keep up, and I doubt if there is tiny decline before

Flour continue very light. Flom. is steady at $5,2.5 for
Pennsylvania brands and $5,50 for Brandywine. Sates

sylvania, and Southern 112 a 115 Der bushel. _ Yellow
Corn has been sold, afloat, at 60c, and White 58c per
bushel, and Southern Oats at 40c. Quercitron'Park has
declined, the best offer is $3O per ton for first No. 1, but
it is generally held at $3l. Spanish Oak has improved
a trifle, and sales to-day at $l6 per cord for prime.
Whiskey remains very dull at 21 a 22c per gallon.

INSOLVENT CO URT-(THIS DAY.)

IN RE JANES PARKINS.
, The case of this insolvent, a tailor, which was part-
neard yesterday, was resumed this morning.
Mr. Cooke addressed the Court at considerable length

on behaioltl;;;;Ofvent,and contended that there was
nothing to show that he had given a fraudulent prefe-
l'ence to particular creditors. He had throughout offered
such a composition as his property would enable him to
aY, and the. security of that oiler was proved by its
"'tying been accepted by and paid to several of his cre-
ditors.

The Learned COMMISSIONER directed that the case
should be adjourned to afford the insolvent time to
amend his special balance-sheet, and to produce his bOoks
for the examination of Mr. Burke, the opposing creditor,
it being understood that when these conditions
were complied with, there would be no further opposi-
tion to his discharge.
IN RE SIR WM. BOYD.
Mr. Thomas had been instructed to apply to the Court
for an order to stay the sale of certain articles of jewellery,
Which were to be sold by auction by Mr. Cafe that day,
t 7, at one o'clock. The insolvent, Sir Win. Boyd, had
stated in his schedule that that property had been given
4, veWay to friends in Scotland, but it turned out that it had
en pledged with a pawnbroker.
iti); The Court granted the order to stay the sale, with the
Nunderstanding, that, if Mr. Cafe required it, the sum he
f; had paid for the redeMption of the property, should be
Paid to him and meantime he was to detain the jewellery
till the further orders of the Court.

-A-Nnov
JULY 27, 1841.—Lord William Paget, our
retenti_
-elected Member of Parliament, was taken into
!Ustody and brought before a bench of Magistrates, on
Monday night, at a late hour, under a warrant, for the
purpose of his being bound over to keep the peace to-
wards Sir John Pollen, Bart. The circumstances giving
lise to this affair will be better explained by a perusal of
the correspondence which took place between his Lord-
ship and Sir John on the occasion, a copy of which we
subjoin :

" Star Hotel, Andover, July 25, 1841.
" Sir,—l have this moment read in the Salisbury He-
rald, the report of a speech delivered by you, at a public
'dinner, on Wednesday last, at the Town-hall, Andover,
wherein you stated,,in reference to my return .for the bo-
rough Andover, that from the bribery and corrup-
tionresorted to for .that purpose they (the electors) could
ave returned a jackass to Parliament." The officers of
Zr, Majesty's navy not permitting offensive expressions
be applied in conjunction with their names with im-
tl__.nitY, I call upon you either to give me your unqualified
.juat of the correctness of the statement, or satisfaction.

forthwith arranged.

beg to assure your Lordship that the word jackass
1-"er escaped my lips. I have sent express for my friend

SURREY ZOOLOGICAL. GARDENS.
A fine evening, and the second summer show of the
South London Floricultural Society, added to the usual
musical and pyrotechnical attractions, assembled last
night a larger number of visitors within the walls of this
favourite summer resort, than we ever remember to
have witnessed en any former occasion. Being among
the late arrivals, we could do little more than show our
neck over the heads of the thousands of curious and ad-
miring visitors by whom the fruit, flower, and vegetable
tables were surrounded, and catch a glimpse here and
there of magnificent groups of hydranglas, ericas, pelar-
goniums, fuschias, picoteeti, &c., &T., but we profess our
utter inability to enumerate the contributors, or the par-
ties to whom the prizes were awarded. The show of
fruit was uncommonly fine, there being a profusion of
peaches, melons, nectarines, pines, grapes, and other
choice productions of the hot-house frame. The enter-
tainments of the evening terminated with the illumina-
tion of the Dome of St. Peter's, and the Girandola di
St. Angelo, which elicited the enthusiastic applause of
the spectators. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state
of the weather for some time past, and its, unfitness for
promenades champetre, we understand the colossal
pictorial model of St. Peter's, and the unrivalled band of
the Surrey Gardens, have formed one of the most at-
tractive and successful hits of the season.
