SPECULATION.
The Magnet, which arrived here on Monday
from Liverpool, brought us some ofour missing
papers, which, though they do not furnish us
with any new political fact, serve to throw
light on the shameful efforts of spectators to
raise the price grain. 1t appears, that some
of the most eminent houses in London, prin-
cipally connected with the north of Europe,
had been extremely busy on the stock ex-
change, selling out; in consequence of which
it was immediately reported all over the me-
tropolis, that the ports would be opened in
November, and that the money obtained by
the sale ofstock was intended for the purchase
of foreign grain. This circumstance, combined
with the rumors industriously set ailoat, that
the harvest had failed in England, had the
mOmentary effect of OccasiOning rise on
bread stufs. 1t was soon, however, ascertain
ed, that the failure was imaginary, and that
the reports put in circulation were intended
To serve the purposes of spectators. All ac-
counts from England and Scotland concur
in representing the crops TO have been uncom-
monty productive. When intelligence Of the
rise reached Amsterdam, the great emporium
of grain for the continent of Europe, the mtr-
chants there considered it wholly fictitious,
being well aware, from the previous accounts
of he state of the harvest, that there was no
chance of the ports being opened. The har-
vests on the continent had turned out, in an
extraordinary degree, productive.

AUGUSTA, November 12.-Accounts from
Nlledgeyille inform us that Governor CLARK
was reelected by majority of t,co over
Colonel TRoUP; the votes being "a TO 70.
Under the circumstances of the case, all
that we esteem ourselves warranted in saving,
at the present, is that we regret this result with
sentimsnt as deep as it is sincere.
Matthew Talbot, of Wiks, was reelected
President of The Senate and David Adams,
Of Jasper, Speaker of the House of Represent
iiives.
Owing to the very great excitement which
the election of Governor had produced, no
business ofany consequence had heen taken mp
during the past week in either branch of the
Legislature. Chronicle
