eve had the pleasure of addressing you
last on the 9Th ult. since when, as we en-
pected, some improvement in prices OF
wheat took place, but considerable sup
plies, particularly from the Mediterranean,
having successfully dropped in, our mar
ket has felt the effects of it, and at this
moment the extreme timidity of purchas-
ers, renders prices entirely nominal. The
appearance Of the harvest throughout Spain
is mos. promising The stock in the Me-
diterranean according to all accounts is
immense and the general aspect is so dis-
couraging, that we cannot flatter ourselves
with hopes of Improvement. Oar stock OF
wheat may now be calculated at 10000
moys; Of barley, rye, -four and Indian
corn, it is very small, and the latter article
has met with an usual brisk demand at
from $50 to 74Ors. according TO quality
Direct supplies, however, having reached
our northern ports, the demand has sub
sided, and but few sales can now be ell
fected at the above prices-Wheat we
quote from $50 to 8OOrs. At the last price
the very best hard wheat has been sold on
board, and could not now be commanded.
The cargo Of flour alluded TO in our last,
was sold at 97Ors on board, and more now
remaining in first hands--Good barley
would fetch $50, 330rs on board; fine hard
Sicilian has been sold at 425rs-Rye would
command $50 to 500rs q, board.

Brazil maintains its price, and East India

Which he, in scoth, long led 10 victory,
With deaf heart which never seem'd to be
A listener to itself, was strangely iram'd;
With bat one weakest weakness-vanity,
Coquettish in anbition-still ne aim'd-
At what Can he avouch-or answer what

" And would be all or nothing-nor could

For the sure grave to level him few year,
Had fx'd him with the Caesars in his fate,
On whom we tread: For this the conqueror
The arch Of triumph and for this the tears
And blood Of earth flow on as they have

An universal, deluge which appears
Without an ark for wretched mans abode.
And GIBBS but 10 refow !-RENEW THY
RAINBOW GOD.
What from this barren being do we reap?
Our senses narrow, and our reason trail,
Life short, and truth a gem which loves The
And all things weigh'd in customs falsest
scale;
Opinion an omnipotence, whose veil
Nantes the earth with darkness, until right
And wrong are accidents, and men grow
pale
Lest their own judgments should become
too bright,
And their free thoughts be crimes, and earth
have too much light.
And thus they plod in sluggish misery,
Rotting from sire to son, and age to age,
Proud Of their trampIed nature, and so die,
Bequeathing their hereditary rage
To the new race of unborn slaves, who wage
War for their chains, and rather than be free
Bleed gladiator-like, and still engage
Within the same arena where they see.
Their fellows fall before, like leaves Of the
same tree.
Ell speak not of mems creeds-they rest
between
Man and his maker-but of things allow'd,
Averr'd and known-and daily, hourly

The yoke that is upon us doubly how'd,
And the intent Of tyranny avow'd,
The edit of eartb's rulers, who are grown
The apes of him who humbled once the

And shook them from their s!umbers on the
throne
Too glorious, were this all bis mighty arm

POWER OF CONSCIOUS GUILT.
The following article was communicated
by a respectable gentleman Of this city,
to whom the circumstances were detailed
few days since by the magistrate in whose
presence the horrid crime was committed.
Three Justices of the peace had met at
May's-Lick, in Mason County, Kentucky,
for the purpose Of taking dispositions, and
TO try about 40 civil causes which were set
for trial at that time and place. On short
consultation, il was agreed that two of the
Magistrates, viz. Joseph Desha and John
Young should retire to one corner of large
room, in which they had met, and attend
10 taking the dispositions, whilst Jonathan
Stout, the other magistrate, should try the
causes. A cause came on 10 be heard,
wherein the sum in dispute was seventy
five cents-neither party having any testi-
mony to introduce, Mr.. Stout, for the pur-
pose of obtaining some knowledge Of the
situation Of the claim, permitted the parties
to so into free conversation on the SUBJ
ject Of their dealings. In the course ofthe
conversation, il appeared that at day not
long previous to the day Of trial, the de-
fendant had called on the plaintiff to settle
with him relative 10 the expence of taking
up al estray-and now in the presence of
Mr.. Stout, the defendant was asked by
the plaintiff, if he did not recollect falling
short the sum Of fifty cents TO pay the ex-
pence taking up the estray at The time al
luded TO, when he called to settle 1.-THE
defendant said, he did-upon which the
following dialogue ensued =
PlaintiG-Had you anymore money with
you that day, than You gave me, towards
paying the expence Of taking up the es-
tray?
Deteaddat-No.
PlaintD-Did you borrow any money Of
any one that day?
Dstendant-No Ibid not.
Plainti6-After you left my house that
day, did you meet certain young men, ina
ming them) on your way home
Defendant-I did.
PiainaG.-Did you return with them 10
my house
Defenddnt-I did.
Pldint6-Did you afterwards pitch
quoits with them for whiskey, in my yard
Detsnddnt-I did.
Plantif-Did you lose two haE pints of
whiskey
Detsndant-I did.
Plaina8-Were they called in by you at
my bar? (the Plaintiff was Tavern
keeper)
Defsnddnt-They were.
Pininhf-Did you pay me for them?
Dgeadant-I did.
Afterconsiderable affirmation on one side,
and denial on the other, the plaintiff told
the defendant, if he would swear he had
paid fo- two half pints, he would strike
them out Of bis aecount-Defendant said
