CLAIMS or THE EK-PREstDENT.
MIR. MCCOY moved that the committee on claims be
discharged from the further consideration of the claims
of Mr.. Monroe. There was so much business before
that committee, that it impossible TO do Justice to
the other claimants whose before that CON-
mee and 70 the case Of Mr.. Monroe He thought
that select committee, having been raised this sub
ject at the last session that committee would have
good knowledge Of The circumstances Of these claims
and would be able 10 TO earlier and more cor
rect decision them. II was case which involved
some important political considerations; ard, taking
into view all ITS relations and bearings he thought the
best reference Of the subject would be that 10 which ne
bad adverted. With this impression on his mind, he
moved that the subject be referred to a select com
uittec.
Mr.. .Eangws (of h. C.) said it was with much re-
greet that he TO resist the motion which had been
made by the able member ofthe committee on claims.
la making this opposition he might perhaps stand sin
gle aud alone Yet ne felt it a duty incumbent him
to take the course nc about 10 adopt, and he
must eDdeavour to fulfil il. With view to the motion
to refer this subject 10 select committee and to take
from The committee claims Il had been urged that
tho last named committee had too much business before
IT. TO enable II to do justice 10 this 1t would be
necessary for him TO advert little TO the history Of this
claim At The last session Of Congress the House re-
ceived message from Mr.. Monroe then President Of
the United States the subject Of these claims; this
message caused slight sensation among the Members
not only on account Of the principles which Involved
but the time chosen for bringing the subject under the

would be advantageous for many rea.
sons, and would save much dispute and
ill blood between Buenos Ayres and
Peru; to Chili it would be very agreea-
BILE as it would reduce her neighbors
more to an equality with herself. There
are strong tendencies in Peru to the fe-
derative system, and it is highly pro-
bable that all the influence of Bolivar,
who is opposed to that system, will not
be sufficient to prevent its ultimate a
doption.

NATURAL GAS.

The following article from a paper
in C~hatauque, the extreme western
county of this state bordering on Lake
Erie, presents certainly a very inge.
NOUS application to useful purposes, Of
what has heretofore merely served to
amuse curiosity or excite wonder.
The village of Fredonia, where this
unineorporated gas establishment exists,
is situated on a little mill stream called
the CANADA Way Creek, which emptics
into Lake Erie. The rock Which con.
s%titutes the bed of this Greek, furnish.
es, it would appear, this cheap, and we
know not why it may not prove, un.
failing material oflight. We hope to
read in some future number of the Cen.
sor, that a careful system of securing
and conducting this gas into the village
has been adopted. [New- York american,
W1at Ui0age can compare aciM FredOsin?
There are now in this village, 2
stores, one a grocery ? shops and one
mill, that are every evening lighted up
with as brilliant gas lights as are to be
found in any city in this or any other
country. The hydrogen gas, or in
Hammable air, which produces these
lights, was procured by drilling a hole
several feet into the rock which COM
poses the bed of the creek passing
through this village, and, in order to
test the experiment, it is now brought
in small pump-logs to the buildingslish-
ted, a distance Of several rods, which
must ofcourse renderi it quite defective.
1t IS in contemplation to procure lead
pipes; and no doubts are entertained
that should this be done, and a proper
reservoir constructed, with a gasome-
ter attached to it, a sufficient quantity
ofthis natural gas might be procured
to light nearly or quite the whole vii
lage. What adds to this gas above
that manufactured is, that it is entirely
void Of any offensive smell when burn
ing. The buildings now lighted, have
been literally thronged for several eve
nings past, and have been visited by
some hundreds OF strangers who ex-
pressed their admiration at this inva-
luable discovery.

1t will be seen by our quotations above that
while Flour has advanced a few cents, Wheat
has declined. This can readily be accounted
for by the excessive dryness of the season,
and the unusual rayages of the weevil. The
millers in this section of the country cannot
grind, and fearful of storing wheat already in
jured, and liable to daily deterioration, de-
cline purchasing. The market is uncommon
ly full and regulated entirely by agents for
northern Houscs-these want only good quail
tiles, hence the inferior article is extremely
dull and is often without q purchaser. We
quote at IS to 81 cents for merchantable
wheat, suchas will yield super6nc -four; fair
quality will bring the highest named price;
that which is much weevil eaten, or injured
by the rust, can only be quoted loosely, say
from SIS to 20 cents. We are sorry to say,
that much of the wheat on the Potomac, is of
the latter character. That which comes from
the upper counties in wagons is generally
good and commands the highest prices
Inc Flour market closed last evening at So
81, being still very scarce Prices of Corn,
Rye, Oats and Whiskey are for the present
moment merely nominal. We have heard of
but one cargo ofCorn In market since our last;
that, We believe, brought 50 cents readily-it
is scarce and much wanted. Rye will COM
mand 40 cents in quantity-small parcels will
probably not bring more than 373 cents
Oats are scarcer than they have been known
for many seasons-S5 cts. is the present price.
but We think they will go little higher
There has been no Whiskey arriving in wag-
ons for several days-the store price in bar
rels may be quoted at 26 cts. and in hhds. Is
it is looked to as an article of speculation,
and will more than probably advapce. The
short crops of Rye, even in the west, warrant
such q conclusion.

so that our company had no difficulty
in conversing freely with them. They
we're told that their conduct would be
