THE REGISTRY.

ELECTORS—See that you are registered. The over-
seers are bound to place the lists of voters on the church
doors on Sunday next, August I, and again on Sunday,
August 8.

COUNTY ELECTORS—Look at the county list. Note
the name of every man you know to be dead, to have lost
or sold his qualification, and mark especially the fudged
votes of the farmers' sons, and of the men without legal
qualification. If you are on the list for the county give
notice of objection to the party and to the overseers on
or before August 25. If youare not on any list your-
self, find some friend to give the notices.
BOROUGH ELECTORS.—Examine the list of voters for
your borough ; see that your own name is inserted cor-
rectly ; if it is not, give a written notice of claim to the
overseers on or before August 25. See what bad votes
arc in the list, and give a written notice of objection to
the overseers on or before August 25.

THE WEATHER AND CROPS.—The weather
still continues showery, and colder than is usual at this
season. Yesterday was dry and sunny; but the wind was
keen and chill. The crops, however, present a splendid
appearance, and give every prospect of an abundant har-
vest. Throughout the greater part of East Lothian, in
particular, the greatein benefit has been experienced
from the late rains; many fields of barley, which were
before all but despaired of, having since advanced with
extraordinary rapidity, and promise a fully average crop.
In the course of a pretty extensive circuit the other day,
we did not observe a single field where the corn was laid
by the rain; while the yellow hue which a great propor-
tion of the fields have begun to assume, indicates the
near approach of harvest. Appearances are equally pro-
mising with the green Cops; potatoes and turnips look
healthy and vigorous; ant: Sanguine expectations are en-
tertained in every quarter of .% successful termination to
the labours pf p husbandman; all that is wanted being
a continuance of swish* to -nu the fruits of the field.

SPORTING lIVIELLIGENCE.

5.11 E GOODTVOOD CUP.

THURSDAY'S RACES cONCLuDAT);
The fluctuations in the betting Weise extraordinary.
Charles the Twelfth, The Recorder, and Hyllus having
successively, reached 3 to 1 in the course of the day ; and
Charles-receded to 12 to 1, and The Recorder to 8 to 1.
The first prices were given in our last, and we have now
only to add a few particulars of the running :—Nau-
tilus went off with the lead, followed by Bulwark, The
Recorder, Pocahontas, and two or three others, all well
laid up. In making the first turn Bulwark died
away, but in other respects the race continued as before,
round the Clump; Pocahontas then took the second
place, but held it only for a few strides, and then re-
tired, Oakstick and Colwick being already in difficulty.
The Recorder and Hyllus caught Nautilus at the rails,
and at the distance he gave up, Charles the Twelfth join-
ing the other two immediately after. One of the most
beautiful races ever seen ensued, Charles the Twelfth
winning on the post by a head, and Hyllus beating The
Recorder by a neck. Nautilus was a bad fourth, and
the other six were pulled up before they reached the
chair.

Duke of Richmond's Plate.—Benedetta and Folly took
the lead to near the turn, where All-Fours passed them,
followed by the mare and Melody colt, to the straight
running ; Muleteer and Remnant waited on this lot to
the Grand Stand, where the latter went in front, and
won cleverly by a length.
The Anglesey Stakes.—Dismal Jemmy made play to
the turn, where Curry Comb headed him, was never
after collared, and won cleverly by two lengths.

Hotel, Edinburgh, when the Earl of Eglinton was
elected President ; James Wright, Esq. of Lawton, and
John W. Williamson, Esq., Kinross;Nice-Presidents for
next year. Twenty-eight clubs claimed admission into
the Association ; of these one is at Belfast, in Ireland,
and another at Montreal, in Canada. Fifteen district and
thirty local medals were given, so that no fewer than
sixty club 3 will be engaged in contesting the Grand
Club medals during the ensuing winter. After the con-
clusion of the business, a large party dined together, Mr.
Wright in the chair and Mr. Williamson, croupier, and
spent the evening with great hilarity: We understand that
the adjourned meeting is to be held in November at Kil-
marnock, when it is hoped that the Noble President will
himself proide.

THE M•LEOD CASE.
We received yesterday morning (we understood by
Government._ Express), the Oneida TVhig Extra, contain-
tg the opinion of the Supreme Court, as delivered by
'lr. Justice Cowen in the matter of Alexander 31‘Leod,
Which concludes with a refusal to grant his discharge.
The perusal of this document by no means changes
the opinion we expressed yesterday. We understand
that the Counsel of M'Leod will sue out a writ of error,
ekl that the case will come before the Court for the Cor-
eetion of Errors, and if that should confirm the present
decision, an appeal lies to the Supreme Court.—New York
'`.vnirer.
Judge Cowen concludes his opinion in M'Leod's case
• follows:—' Suppose a prisoner of war to escape, and
=hat on his way home, and before he crosses the line, he
a
;raid set fire to a farm house in. the night and kill the
Z:taates—is there a doubt that he might properly be con-
kTted either of arson or murder ? When a grand jury

Lte, I can imagine no case, whether the charge re-
to the time of open public war or peace, in which
he can claim exemption from trial. If he show that he

MAINE BOUNDARY.
LA Select Committee of the House of Representatives
of New Hampshire have reported the following resolu-
t"ons on the North Eastern Boundary Question :
Resolved—That the United States and the State of
Ilaine have a just and valid title to all the territory in
dispute between Great Britain and the United States on
the North Eastern Frontier, and that the boundary line,
agreeably to the treaty stipulations of 1789, is capable
of being ascertained and marked upon the earth's surface.
Resolved—That it is the duty of the General Go-
vernment to prosecute the commission appointed to ex-
plore the North Eastern Boundary line, till the whole is
ascertained and marked by suitable monuments--
11'0m the source of the St. Croix to the north-west angle
of Nova Scotia-and from said angle along the high-
lands described in the Treaty of 1783, to the north-
e..erninoSt head of the Connecticut River.
esolved—That the military occupation by Great
Britain of any part of the " Disputed Territory" is a
violaa
Lumn of the rights of the State of Maine and of the
ited States, and contrary to the arrangements entered
into by'the two Governments.
Resolved—That New Hampshire would deprecate a
Viision with the mother country ; yet preferring
oourable war to dishonourable peace, if other efforts
41,1 of settling the dispute, she tenders her whole means
~
fnu resources to the authorities of the Union, in sustain-
uf; our rights and honour.

CANADA.'
The Canadian Legislature have hitherto apparently
passed their time, since the commencement of the
session in useless squabbles, but by the last papers,
it appears the Government was about to introduce
several measures of importance. A quarrel between
two of the members had occurred, in which one
Mr. Hamilton, of Bonaventure, had knocked down
Mr. Chester of Gaspe—a challenge afterwards passed,
which the dealer of the blow refused to receive, and
the matter was to be brought before the House. The
collision arose from a charge made by Mr. Chester
against a Judge of the District of Gaspe, who he said
was in the habit of attending at the Bench in a state of
intoxication.

LATER FROM FLORIDA.
Correspondence of the Savannah Republican.
PILATKI, JUL Y 7, 1841.
Dear Sir—l am truly sorry to say that the news has
just arrived here of the death of the 2d Lieut J. R. H.
Lancaster, of the Ist Infantry, who was struck by light-
ning on the sth instant at Chrystel river, while stand-
ing in the stern of a sail boat, and instantly killed ; two
soldiers were struck at the same time, but have recovered.
Coacoochee arrived at Tampa on the 6th inst.—had
his irons re-adjusted, and -then the Colonel commanding
had a talk with him. He promised that all he could do
should be done towards inducing the Indians to emi-
grate. His talk was sent by messengers -to the hostiles,
and the hope is most fervent that it may have a favour-
able effect.

Pilatka, (E. F.) July 7, 1841.
On the night of the 27th ult. a party of Indians drove
off from the Wecahoota settlements, a large number of
cattle and horses. Early next morning the troops be-
longing to the 7th regiment of infantry stationed at We-
cahoota, Micanopy and Fort Wheelock, were in motion
after the marauders ; they formed a junction at post No.
2. Captain Hawkins, of the 7th, the senior officer, as-
suming the command, took the trail of the cattle, and fol.
lowed it upwards of 60 miles, passing several camps, when
an Indian driving up ,a mare and colt. discovered them
and fled. Rapid pursuit was given and followed for two
miles, when the troops came up to a large camp and found
slaughtered upwards of forty beeves—the meat under-
going the process of kiln-drying, for packing, the In-
dians having just left. The troops took their trail, and
after proceeding six miles farther, in a dense scrub, came
up to the main camp of the enemy, but had the mortifi-
cation to find that it had been but a few minutes
also abandoned, hut with such haste as to leave
all their packs behind; containing wearing apparel,-
cooking utensils and even Sub-Treasury funds—
specie. The troops, after destroying everything of
value in this camp and following the enemy until
they lost all traces of them. returned to where the
Indians had made their slaughterhouse and burnt up
upwards of ten thousand pounds of beef. On emerg-
ing from the scrub, a squaw with two children was dis-
covered and captured. She gives the information that
this camp was Halleck TuStenugge's, who had thirty
warriors and twenty squaws with him, and that if the
Indian had not seen the troops at the time he did, and
given such timely notice, all must have been captured ;
but as it was, by taking every thing they had, the enemy
would be greatly distressed. The troops returned to
their different posts on the 3d 'inst. greatly reduced by
sickness, from the severity of the march, and the ex-
treme sultriness of the weather.
We learn froth a passenger by the Newburn, that on
Wednesday last 500 head of cattle were stolen from
Payne's Prairie by a body of Indians. Immediate pur-
suit was made by a detachment of militia who had not

returned.
Signs of Indians had been seen, it is said, seven miles
from Black Creek.
The post at Black Creek has been abandoned.

MEXICO.
(From the New Orleans Bee of June 29.)
Our Havana papers to the 16th instant, received by
the Virginia Antoinette, contain later dates from the
Mexican capital than we had previously received direct.
There is increasing dissatisfaction among the people of
Mexico, on account of the onerous port and interior
duties levied upon imported merchandize. It is asserted
in some of the publications that the enormous charges,
amounting on cottons to 240 per cent. on their cost
in Europe, on woollens to 108 per cent. &c., are
seldom paid in full—so that the honest merchant
cannot live, because vicious persons smuggle the
articles across the lines while the Government
revenues, from the same cause. are scarcely half so
large as they were at rates only one-third as high as the
present. The poorer people especially complain that the
duty on the article• which they deem necessary is three
or four times as great as that on goods consumed by
the more wealthy.
A petition signed by 125 merchants and others, of
Vera Cruz, states that no less than six ships have been
loaded in English ports for the Pacific coast of Mexico,
where they presume the goods will be introduced with-
out paying a dollar of duty. This they hold to be the
legitimate result of extravagant duties ; and they quote
Lord Palmerston to show that no countr:, can prevent
smuggling where enormous exactions are made upon
articles which the people desire, or th;em necessary. It
was thought a significant indication that more than half
of the petitions were addressed to Santa Anna, instead
of the Central Government.
The rumours that Arista had become in bad odour
in the capital seems to be confirmed by various articles in
the papers. It appears evident that Arista would be dis-
missed from his command in the Northern States, if the
Central Government had the power or the courage to en-
force the measure.
A letter from the mineral district of Masapil states
that a violent earthquake was experienced on the night
of the 29th of April. The first shock lasted two mi-
nutes, and there were five others during the night. It
was conjectured, judging from the circumstances and
past experience, that the news would soon arrive of the
breaking out of a volcano. The conducta from Zacata-
cas to Taltilla, resting for the night at a place called
St. Helena, was nearly ruined by the falling of the walls
of the houses in which they were resting for the night.

TEXAS. 1
The Pickayune has the following from Texas by
the Kingston, from Galveston :
The war schooner San Bernard arrived at Gaveston
on Sunday night, with Judge Webb on board, and
brings the intelligence that Mexico refuses to receive or
treat with him as an agent to procure the acknowledg •
went of the independence of Texas.
The Santa Fe expedition started on the 16th ult. It
consisted of 300 men. The Civilian says the march is
not on a direct line, but comprises a campaign against
the Indians—the course being first to the head waters of
the Trinity, for the purpose of scouring the country
about and between these points. There are eighteen
men along with it, who have travelled from old San Saba
fort to Sata Fe, and they all concur in making the dis-
tance about four hundred miles.

VENEZUELA.
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, JULY 12, 1841.—Information
has been officially received from the Government of
Venezuela of the following changes in the Tariff of Du-
ties on exports and imports of that Republic, which
changes are to take effect from and after the Ist day of

for women, do., 20 cts. ; do. for children. do., 6 cts.

HAVANNAH.
(From the New Orleans Bulletin.)
By the brig Copenhagen we have Havannah dates to
the 28th ult. Business in that port was dull, while the
yellow fever was brisk and spreading.
There were 148 vessels in port.
Cuba has been visited with heavy rains, which had
not ceased at the last accounts. At Puerto Principe,
on the 2d ult. a heavy rain commenced falling at 8
o'clock in the morning, and in two hours the lower
part of the city was entirely flooded. The inhabi-
tants had not time to escape, but were struggling in
the water in every variety of position and circumstance,
until relieved by their neighbours of the higher land. It
is believed not more than half-a-dozen lives were lost,
but the destruction of property in the city and surround-
ing country was to a large amount.
Some of our spirited planters are taking steps to im-
prove the quality of the sugar cane. A company has
contributed the requisite amount to send a vessel of 400
tons burthen to Otaheite, to bring a cargo of the cane in-
digenous to that island for planting out in Cuba

NEW GRENADA.
ST. MARTHA, JUNE s.—The political state of this
country is still very unsettled, and the opinions are con-
flicting as to the termination of the present contest. Sti7l,
if the news which has reached us can be relied upoil,
events have lately transpired which give promise of a
tranquilization of this unfortunate country, and a return
to Pellet+ and industry: Every true putri9t must hope

- -
for a speedy consummation of such promise. General
Herren has been installed with due ceremonies, and
is now President of New Grenada. We have news
that Colonel Posada has had an engagment with the
vanguard of General Obantlo's army, composed of about
800 men, at Nieva, which he defe*ated, taking a large
number. of prisoners. Obando himself, with the re-
mainder of his army, badly supplied with the munitions
of war, is in Popayan, and Gen. Flores has marched
against him with about 2,000 men. He will continue
his march to Bogota should the Government of Bo-
gota deem it advisable. We have also advices that the
troops under Col. Vesga, of Antioguin, have suffered
a defeat, and that Col. Vesga has been taken pri-
soner by the Bogota Government troops. The Pro-
vince, it is reported, has declared in favour of Bogota
Another rumour is, that Gen. Cordova has landed about
3,000 men, and intends to march to Bogota- The com-
munication with the interior is completely closed by the
disturbed state of the country, and business is almost en-
tirely at a stand.

Captain Miler, of the brig Choctaw, arrived yester-
day from the River Gambia, states that the British
cruizers are very busy on the coast endeavouring to de-
stroy the slave trade. Two of them made an attempt to
cut a slaver from some river or bay, and were beaten
off and forced to resign their object. The slavers in
some cases have adopted the plan of sailing in com-
panies of five or six vessels, only one being
laden with slaves. Should a cruiser overhaul them
they all take separate courses, and the cruiser not
knowing which one to pursue, the loaded slaver has a
fair chance of escape. The British traders complain
much of the increase of American vessels on the coast,
as the latter undersell them in their outward cargoes, and
pay higher prices for the produce of the country. Two
slave factories had been burned by British cruisers, and
the establishments broken up. The Choctaw has had a
romarkably quick voyage, having sailed from New Or-
leans on the 15th Aprillast. •
THE CROPS.—Appearances a few weeks ago were of
the gloomiest character in relation to the crops ; but,
within a week or two, a great change has taken place.
The rains that have fallen latterly in every direction,
throughout the whole country, have materially improved
the appearances of the corn crop, which promises now to
yield an abundant harvest. Cotton,. too, begins to look
much better. We are informed, that in South western
Georgia, the crop of cotton, from present appearances,
will be a very large one. In middle Georgta, the farmers
have not, generally, a good stand, but what they have,
begins to look very promising.—Milledgeville Journ.
HORRIBLE.—A murderous affair, by a man named
llondorf, took place one day last week, at George-town,
Kane Co., the details of which are as follow :—Hon-
- dorf, • a week before, had a quarrel and beat his
.wife with a club, but was prevented by a neighbour
from killing her, which he declared was his purpose.
He was arrested on Saturday, and on Monday was
under examination before two justices of the peace, in
the school-house ; his wife was giving evidence, he
rose from his seat, walked up to her with a smile on
his face, and whispering in her car—" you shall nevor
speak again ;" attempted to stab her in the heart with a
dirk knife, which he held concealed in his sleeve—he
had some difficulty in getting the..knife from his. sleeve,
she screamed and ran forward—when he, holding to her •
shawl with his left hand, stabbed her in the back, in-
flicting a wound four inches deep, which it is thought by
her physician, would probably prove mortal.—Peru (Il-
linois) Gazette.
There have recently been some of the strangest storms
in . the neighbourhood of Boston, that • ever was re-
corded in the Almanacs. It rained Catfish, or some
other kind of " salt or fresh water food," a few days
since, and a gentleman coming into town encountered
one of them on the road. About the same time the
good people of Salem were astonished by a shower
of drab hats, one of which was picked up in a garden.
We believe it was not one of the " cocked hats," as we
understood from an eastern paper the other day, that the
last of the race had become extinct. Horse marines or
horse mackarel will probably be the next visitation from
the Bay State clouds, and . nobody must wonder if it
should rain buck wheat cakes, or the raw material,
with warfie irons to bake them in.
SINGULAR VISIT.—The residence of Mr. Morris
Newkirk, in the northerly part of this town, was visited,
on Tuesday last, by a large swarm of bees, who have
since taken up their abode with him, inside his
dwelling, and gone to work like peaceable and or-
derly citizens. Upon the arrival of the company of stran-
gers, they attempted unceremoniously to enter at the
hall door ; but it being inconsiderately shut, they
alighted upon the outsid of the house, completely
covering it, and, as if determined not to be foiled in
their object, obtained access through a knot hole in the
siding, near the top, much to the confusion of the wasps
and other insects, whom they slew and dragged out in
great numbers. Having obtained possession of their new
home, Mr. Newkirk has enlarged the field of labours of
this interesting little colony, by giving them access.
through the wall into a room in which a hive has been
placed for their special accommodation. They are per-
fectly docile, and apparently much pleased with the at-
tention shown them, and evince a disposition to take up a
permanent residence.-Goshen Republican.
RAILROAD ACCIDENT.—We learn from the Ontario
Messenger, that on the opening of the Auburn and Ro-
chester Railroad, from Canandaigua to Seneca Falls, on
Monday last, a man named Campbell, who had been em-
ployed on the road, was run over by the train a few miles
east of the village of Canandaigua and mangled in a
shocking manner. The unfortunate man was taken to
Canandaigua, and expired shortly after suffering ampu-
tation of the right leg.
The boat John Marshall, Capt. Hunter, from New Or-
leans for this place, ran on a snag a few miles above
Randolph, and immediately sunk, having about 100 tons
freight, and 100,000 dollars in specie on board. The
boat was owned by the Captain and Messrs. J. and R.
Yeatman of this place, and 10,000 dollars were insured
on her. Being in shoal water, the specie and part of the
cargo will probably be saved.—Nashville Banner.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—Late on the afternoon of Mon-
day, as seven persons belonging to the corps of Na-
tional Blues of Holmesburg, were about to return to
Bustleton after parade, in a waggon, having gone but
a short distance, an explosion of a quantity of powder
contained in a keg, took place, which dreadfully
injured two of them, named George and John Giber-
son ; the former so seriously as to leave no hope of his
recovery. It appears' that they were not all aware that
there was powder in the waggon. The explosion took
place by lire dropped from a segar in possession of one
of the Gibersons.—Philadelphia North American.
INDIAN BARBARITIES.—A few days since, two wag-
gons going from Port Leon to Monticello, were captured
and plundered by a band of savages, and horrible to
relate, the drivers, negro men, were tied each to a tree
and beaten to death with clubs. This outrage occur-
red within three miles of Magnolia, and within eight
or nine of a military station occupied by regulars, a de
tachment of whom were next day in pursuit of the mur-

FATAL AFFRAY.—On Saturday evening last two
individuals, by the names of Thomas Mayns and John

inflicted Shaft died last evening. Mayns immediately
