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 ! Who will say " these are
hard times ?"

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.

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, among 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.

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 foundation in '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 Pains and Penalties was odious,
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 rai.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,

object was, that her Majesty should have no accomui i•

shame, shame! and cries u: indignation]. So that i
Illtelillt at present the anxious wish of the hieli-t Clt• ity
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

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

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 ankry 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 time
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. That this Meeting do most earnestly reeommetid
every man in the community to ow his best endeaveirs
to procure such a reform io the Commons Hotter of Par-
liament, as will make it really and truly the Iteprs-
