Hoe Harrow.

Hoe narrow.
yEHHE subscribers have received supply
4 of this celebrated Harrow, now gene
rally used in the cultivation of corn, and
which has, in great measure, superseded
the use of the hoe, through Pennsylvania and
parts Of the adjoining states; and, it is be-

the cultivation of tobacco and cotton, as
well as corn. Planters can be supplied with
this Harrow at moderate price, on applica-

The news Of the preceding brilliant
actions was received at Buenos Ayres
on the goth Oct. just as the inhabi.
tants were crowding TO the Theatre,
and as we may easily imagine, W as IT,
ceived with the sr:ates, enthusiasm
and delight. The Argos Of Buenos Ay-
res states that the division commanded
by Ventus Manuel, and over which the
victory was obtained, had been consi.
dered as the only troops, which by rea.
son of their extraordinary vaIor and
fine discipline, were to be dreaded
Consequently their defeat was hailed
as the dawn ofthat era, which is about
to usher in the stability of the rising
liberties Of Buenos Ayres, and her
provinces. When the curtain rose,
the national hymn was shouted by the
whole corps. 1t produced sublime
and majestic effect; all the spectators
arose and joined in the chorus Of free
dom; and amidst the reiterated vivas,
tears Of rejoicing were seen to bedew
the cheeks of many. This affecting
and enchanting scene lasted till the ter

Mr.. Sno,cden, editor Of the Advocate.
SIR: l took this pleasure last on the
9th inst. per the Chancellor, since when
| am not in receipt of any commercial
news from your establishment. The
Louisiana has not yet arrived. The re-
port is in circulation Of her being In
the river. Many coasters as well as
European vessels have had to remain
stationary for 8 days, at the Balize, in
consequence of one of our towing
steam boats having lately been burnt
up; and the other (the only one in the
trade now being out Of repair. We
have, however, Liverpool news as late
as the 18th Oct. via Mobile, per ship
Selma,
On the state Of the trade here, / re-
gret the fact, that am obliged 10
give you the most melancholy &C,
counts. Ofupwards of 5000 bales OF
the new crop of Cotton, now IN mar
ket, scarcely single bale can be dis
posed Of at almost any price. SO un-
certain is the result of proceeds, there
is nothing doing in the Cotton Yards
nor in any other commercial trade. A
complete stagna,ion has taken place,
and from present indications, will con-
tinue for some considerable time 10
come. Money is scarce. The wonted
confidence is in a great measure bro
ken; and nothing but doubts and fears
prevail in the speculative community
Prime Cotton, now held at l6a a II
cents, must inevitably fall to l3 a IA
cents per ID: and that very soon.
Our city was never in more healthy
state, and we can scarcely have more
mild and pleasant weather, than al
present.

distract ofthe Proceedings Of the
VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE.
DEC. 10.

Mr.. Macrae, OF Pr. Wliilam, oHer'
| ed the following Rcsolutin:-
That leave be given to bring IN
bill to amend the 18th section ofan act,
| entitled an act reducing into one, the
several acts for ascertaining the taxable
property in this Commonwealth.
On motion of Mr.. Briggs, seconded
BY MIR. May, the Resolution was so a.
unended as to refer il to the Commit
tee of Finance-and so amended, the
Resolution was adopted.
On motion of Mr.. Macrae:
RESOLVED, That leave be given to bring
in a bill to amend the several acts con-
corning timetables, and directing the
mode Of laying and collecting the coun-
ty levy.
Mr.. Macrae, in offering his resolu-
ton for leave to bring in a bill, made
some remarks in substance nearly as
follows:-Mr. Speaker: In offering this
resolution to the consideration and a.
doption of this house, | cannot with
hold the expression Of my regret that
it should become my duty to state that
they are founded upon grounds and
directed 10 objects beyond the ordina-
ry scope of mere financial regulation.
| would gladly have left in silence to
the compnittee Of Finance the eorrec-
ton Of defects in the mere revenue law
as such. But am forced to declare
that have reason to believe there ex-
lists species Of petty official peculation
among the subordinate ranks OF the
ministerial executive, at once degra-
ding in itself and abhorrent to every
moral sentiment and principle OF an
upright spirit, which demands the at
tention and legislative interposition OF
this body. Nor can help, sir, express
sing my surprise that these abuses
should have hitherto escaped the no
tice Of the good and the wise Of this
legislature, who are so able, to scan
the imperfections of the law and prompt
to detect its violations. It's indeed
true, sirssas history and experience may
have taught us, that abuses and defects
| sometimes arise and long continue to
| subsist, like the progress Of annual dis.
ease, without attracting the attention oil
its functionaries or exciting the re-
| monstrances Of those by whom they
are felt, and endured. 1t il not until,
in their advancement they assume the
attitude Of prescriptive authority, that
aggravated examples arouse the muir
murs of the aggrieved and admonlsh
the community's agents Of their exist
ence. 1t would seem, sir, that such
has been the case in relation to the
subjects of this resolution. 1t was no,
until the delegated relationship to the
community with which was elected
by my constituents, led me to investi
gate the duties which it involves, thai
| became sensible of the defects of the
financial laws of the State, and convin-
ced of the existence Of abuses which hae
grown up and aourished by reason o
its omissions.
| BY the 7th section Of the act concern
ing the collection of the public reye
nue., it appears that the sheriff or col
lector, (who is almost always the she
riff is credited by the Auditor, in hi!
account with The Commonwealth, TOT
all insolvent delinquencies, contained

FIRE AT BRUNSWICK, ONE

We are sorry to learn, by a gentle
man from Brunswick, that very de-
structive FIRE occurred there on Tues
day last. 1t commenced abou, O.
clock, A. NJ. and was got under at
noon. Two Cotton Factories, Pulling
Mill, Double Saw Mill, another Fac
tory, and 10 houses, were destroyed. 1t
is said most Of the furniture in the
houses was saved. 1t was supposed
the fire caught in stove in one OF the
factories. We understand Bis or 90, )
600 were insured on the factories.
Since writing the above we have re-
ceived the following additional partic-
ulars: The Fulling Mill was owned
by the Hon. Mr.. Page, and occupied
by John Dyer-the Carding and Ma
chine Shops were destroyed-also, the
Grist Mill owned by DR.. Page, and
the Saw Mill owned by DR.. P. MIR. San
ford, &c.
The following houses, sc. were de-
stroyed, house owned and occupied
by S. & c. Berry, owned by A. Hun
ter, occupied by Maj. Smith and Capt
Taylor, owned and occupied by Sam.
uel Page, ! owned by Mr.. Page, and
occupied by Mr.. Moore, Mr.. Liver
more. sc. the Factory Houses, occupi-
ed by Mr.. Bird and Captain ] Moody,
Factory Store, occupied by Dunning &
Parshley, q large old Factory Building,
occupied by number Of families, and
Factory Building used for store
house, a store owned by A. Merrill, &C.
cupied by Dea. Peray, new building
intended for stores, owned by N. Da-
Wis, together with two other buildings,
one occupied by N. Davis, the other
unoccupied, and o large barns, one
connected with the Factory Buildings,
the other owned by MIR Davis, house
formerly the residence of ]. Stone,
ESD. now occupied by Mrs. Putnam,
and Mr.. Dean Swift, together with the
barn, where the fire ended.
Ills said the goods from the stores
were principally saved, but that the
whole loss ofproperty is estimated at
100000. II is not yet known that
there was any insurance except on the
Factories. The buildings destroyed
were all of wood.--PaRadium.
A Bath paper estimates the loss at
two to 100000 dollars.
Extract from letter dated S. Thomas, Non. %.
"At present there is very little Hour
at market-sales have been effected at

IS; puncheons at 81 to- 23-not very
brisk. This article is very likely to
improve; the quantity at market being
small, and Blu, little likely to be impor-
ted for some time. Rye meal and can
dies very scarce, and much wanted

tob,cco, are all Of ready sale. West

noon Of the 18th OF February, shock
of an earthquake was felt at Lucknow;
every heart in the city'shoos with APP

An ascetic, remarkable for exuberance
Of beard and length ofnai!s, was heard

Another reported that one OF the Idols
in the temple had been seen In tears;

on the milky sea; and that the earth

who had before evinced his prowess In
astonishing the suns mouth ofteeth
and belabouring the moon most unmer

fallen had not the elephant-headed vi

This was an account that caused terror

lest the giant should give the earth the
