Masonic The Wilmington
College, Del. was few days since offered for sale
by the Sheriff OF the county. Previous to the hour
OF sale, the amount of the debt DUE and to satisfy
which the sale was to have been made, was paid by
committee oil the Masons of that borough This
one act is most beautiful commentary upon the
phianthropic principles and liberal and enlightened
views OF this ancient and worthy association.
baltimore Patriot.
The above, and similar notices of the sale of the
Academy in this Borough, are going the rounds
and are calculated to produce impression that the
Masons arrested the sale, and paid the debt without
receiving an equivalent for the money advanced by
them. AS we are confident that this ancient and
worthy association do not with TO lay claim to
more credit than they really deserve, or to receive
praise where they are not justly entitled 10 III we take
this opportunity to make plain statement of the
affair of the sale of the College. This building was
to have been sold at Sherfs Sale in order to satisfy
a claim which the Corporation of the Borough had
upon 1t. Previous to the time appointed for the
sale, the Free Masons, who had Tor several years
occupied an upper room in the Academy, as a Lodge
paid the demand of the Corporation, and are now
the sole propre,ors Of this building, part of which
they will continue to occupy, and rent the remain.

The Baltimore American contains letters from
Rio Janeiro, of the 18th and 5h April, from which,
we learn that the markets there for American pro-
duce remain dull, chiefly owing to the large ship
ments of wheat from Europe. Four vessels had
arrived from Holland for account of the new Dutch
Company, with this article; and the stock on hand
had become large as to render it very difficult to
effect sales. Considerable supplies of brown
domestic Coltons had been received and were of a
heavy sale, and $50 RS per yard was the best offer
that could be obtained for large parcel per the
Catharine from Baltimore, taking them assorted,
from % TO sc inch width, which the supercargo re-
fused and took them to Buenos Ayres. The writer
states that the consumption Of them is increasing
and that it might perhaps answer the purpose of
manufacturer to have quantity always there on
hand for supply. He thinks that one half so inch
one quarter ~, and one quarter Sc inch, is good
assortment, but cannot hold out the idea of very
brilliant result. Accounts at Rio from Buenos
Ayres and Monte Vldeo were to the Esd March,
at which time about $4,000 bbs.' Flour were in B.
Ayres and 10000 in M. Video. One vessels cargo
had been closed at 2,75 on board 500 bbls. out
of another, sold at $50. The crop in Chill had
been very large, and cargoes were expected at Rio
Jancrio from thence. Large quantities of wheat
were also expected from the Cape of Good Hope,
and being Of superior quality il is said would great
y affect The sales Of flour. All was perfectly tram
quill at Rio, as to politics. general alteration in
Duties at that port was about TO take place. Among
the changes are the following.

The Deaf and Dumb heated aClthont the AID OF
Prince Hohenloe.-A few days ago boy about the
age of 49, was brought TO the police Office in New
York. for having stolen watch. The culprit, it
seems, had by his ar.fulness imposed himself upon
the compassion of some charitable ladies in that
city, who had procured him place in the Instu-
ton for the Deaf and Dumb. He had been there
but>a few days, however, before he restored to
speech by the following means. When brought
before the magistrate for the theft, number OF
witnesses appeared, who declared that they knew
the boy, that he an impostor, that they had
heard him converse frequently, and that his char.
acter was none of the best. Upon this the magis-
traie wrote an order to the high constable to take
him Immediately to the stepping mill for an indef
mite period of time. 1t is well known that the
tread mill has effected wonders, in the way OF re-
formation but we never before knew an instance
|of its having caused the dumb to speak. AS soon
las the speech.css youth made acquainted with
his sentence, he burst forth in fine strain OF eo-
|quence, telling them s. he was not going indefinite
|ly-lhat they had their match now and that he vas
too cunning for the whole concern" He was COM
mitted for trial.
