1 brig, and 1 schooner of war, together with a Portuguese

dent in the repelling of the natives, but witho:tt success,
and dropped down to Cape Antonio on the 24th, hslving on
board 3,000 inhabitants who had escaped.

native residents had confided in the strength and wisdom of
the Provincial Government, and f the efficiency of the
Marine Department for protection, 1..1'3t they postponed
embarking until absolutely surrounded by .tie natives, not
allowing themselves time to save their clothing. or valuable
effects, and some not even a shift of clothing. Out country-
man Mr. Upton had barely time to flee on board, letlving
his books in his counting-house, which were thrown into the
street and destroyed.
The Indians wore seen firing from the windows of the
American consul's house at the English marines stationed
at Mr. Campbell's opposite, and the United States flag was
torn up.
It was supposed that the slaoghter must have been im-
mense, as the motto of the Indians has been " extermina-
tion of the whites," and a more compJe!.o sack of any city
probably never took place than in this iesic:ince.
The brigs Malta and George were bound for L.

full of passengers. The British sloop of war Race. Horse,
with all the English merchants on board, was bound ti.'r the
same place in a few days.
The Indians bad about 150 to 200 armed men. Tim
President hid 300 men under him, ready for service, and
several pieces of artillery which were left unspiked, and
were fired from by the natives at. the whites in,their retreat.
The British and Portuguese vesoels of war each landed
from 90 to 100 men to assist the tzuthorities, but seeing
their pusillanimity, they embarked again
.for their vessels.—

South Carolina has already completed .the longest
railroad now in operation in any part of the I,Yorld. It
extends from Charleston to Hamburgh, on the Su'vannah
river, opposite to Augusta, a distance of 13.51 miles. It
was commenced in 1830, and was opened for use through-
out in 1833.—Mining Journal.

bag nets, stake nets, &c., whether in the sea, 6rths, or any
other situation for catching salmon, must be left open and

ter the close time commences, there are to be 21 day; al-

ficial measure for the Scoi'th Fisheries, and we have no
doubt of its passing into a law the amended and. matured
shape in which it now appears.—,Scots Times.
CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 2.--The crop of opium
here this season has been abundant, in spite of the mono-
poly, and Government has already sold 340,000 chequees
at the price of 100 piasters per chequee. The demand is
almost exclusively, for America and Holland, and I do not
see any taken that appeArs to be for England.. The crop
altogether exceeds 200,06'0 chequees, and had .1-te article
been free it would have been* much greater. The revenue
Government derives from thismonopoly cannot be /Dore
than 60,0001., although they coopel the cultivators to give
them the opium at .52 piastres pci• chequee, or little more
than half the value, and it is a pity'i.hat the inhabitants of
a large, populous, and industrious di;:trict should be dis-
gusted for such a trifle,.whilst a moderate tax on the self-
same article left free would produce a larger seta. Nor is
this all to be complained of ; the managers of the monopoly
Are partial in the administration, so that one merchaut can,
and ;mother cannot buy, just according to their caprice. I
know a INTehat who wanted opium to the value of 2,0001.
but, thouglt e offered the same price as the others, he
could not get it. Another wanted to invest 500/. or 6001.,
and he was told with a sneer that Government did not sell
in retail. This is a serhies grievacce, as there are many
establishments here who have even smaller sums to employ
in the drug, and who decidedly object to supplying them-
selves from the' smugglers. They might probably do so,
however, without danger, as I verily believe that the cor-
rupt administrators themselves are the chief smugglers ;
and that having, in the name and at the- price of Govern-
ment, got opium to a large extent for their own accouot,
they wish to draw the small purchasers into their own net.
The whole system cannot too soon be reformed. It is
ruinous to the country, and discourages both cultivators and
traders, enriching merely the director of the monopoly and
his minions. The former has already amassed a pretty
little fortune of thirty millions of piastres.
ST. PETERSBURGII, SEPT. 30.—" The receipts of
the Imperial treasury Are far from improving. The cus-
toms produced 1,400,000 yubles less during the first six
months of 1835 than durit;3- the same period in 1834.
On the other hand, the expenso of the administration are
increased, and will amount this yosar to about 91 per cent.
of the gross product, so that we may expect to see this
branch of revenue reduced to 76,000,000 rubles in 1835.
The poll tax of the Southern Governments 1,-.resents also a
diminution of nearly 800,000 rubles during i;.lle first six
months of 1835, and the tax on brandies has suffered a
diminution of 900,000. The falling off in the mines, salts,
and stamps, is less remarkable. The articles ou which
compensation was expected has 'only increased to' 4 or
500,000 rubies. These results are so much the ami-e ca-
lamitous, as the expenses of the treasury follow in inverse
progression. According to the most moderate calculation.
the expense of the review of iinliach amounts to 16,000,000
rubles, independently of the 10,0A,G00 which it cost the
Emperor out of his private purse exelus,!ve also of'
s the ex*
penscs incurred by the localit:es of the troosport by ea an
cannot d
the encampment and subsistence money. We ,
therefore, be astonished if the Minister of Finance is not
able to perform his promise as to the quantum of redemp-
tion of the National Debt, the sinking- fund of which will
be diminished by at least 8,600,000 rubles. The situation
of foreign commerce cannot console or compensate the fi-
17,!tncial deficit. In the first six Months of 1834 the ports,
indeb,d, received 128 more ships than in the same period of
1833, buy a falling off of 80 was expei-ieneed in the corre-
sponding per:Zltl of 1835. Independentli of the evidence
produced by the decrease of the Customs, it appears also
from the accounts ofthese six months that tits exports have
not been in the ordinary proportion, and th.lt, without
speaking of corn and seeds, there would be a tota: decrease
of about 18,000,000 rubles, compared with the r,-evious
year. An amelioration was expected in Asiatic comtlerce,
but this also is diminished by 950,000 rubles. BrOliant
expectations had been formed relative to the prosperity' of
the military colonies, and that famous creation of Alexander
and Arakcheff has failed. It is even certain that the co-
lonization has produced disastrous results in every point of
view—agricultural, military, and political. Whatever be
the care of the Russian Government to dissemble the evil,
the truth cannot be concealed. It is known that the colo-
nies of infantry in the Government of Novogorod arc not
in a condition to supply 12,000 men, and the cavalry have
not 10,000 at their disposal. Thus the reports of the Rus-
si.an armies, which give between 66,000 and 70,000 men
from thd colonies, are exaggerated by two-thirds."—Ga-
ligwozis hiessener.
BEDS TO WIT.—AII old country gentleman, Ivho
seldom Wanders from his native bowers further than a day's
hunting or shooting takes him, lately came up to town to
pay his respects to a noble relative of his, when he was corn-
plitnented by being put in the best bed. The enormous
height of his couch not a little alarmed the old gentleman,
and it was some time before his man could get him safely
lodged between the sheets. " What o'clock would you
like to get up, Sir ?" asked John on retiring ; " Get up !"
exclaimed the squire, " Get down you mean—and once
safely on my legs, if ever I get into this bed again; may Ibe
bed-ridden all my life. "---Lincoln Gazette.
