PRICES OF PRODUCE
Ar .9Iernudrjo 3j,u II 1903

We regret the necessity of making gene
raj reduction ofprices from those last quoted.
The late accounts from Gibraltar, although
somewhat doubtful as to their accuracy, have
damped the ardor Depreciation, and render
ed the dealers in produce little more timid
than perhaps they ought to be. We cannot
quote corn higher than 40 cents; and though
none has been sold for less, we are doubtful
whether large cargoes would at this moment
command that Flour has not declined as
much as might have been expected: the mar
ket was very steady all yesterday at 81 IS. A
few loads of very prime family brands brought

information, that it would bring.

100 hhds. have been disposed of this

Liverpool, April at will be seen by
the statement herewith that our i'm
ports continue very light, whilst the
purchases go on to an astonishing ex-
tent, for against supply received this
week of 6592 packages, the sales a
mount to 42,572 bags and bales, as de-
tailed above, of which it is calculated
that about two thirds have changed
hands with spectators. The brisk
demand experienced in the past week
has been followed up during the pre-
sent at advancing rates; on Wednes-
day, however, partly from the anxiety
of holders to obtain too rapid an adj
vance, the market paused little, cir
cumstance at all times to be dreaded
at high rates, and was rather fiat on
Thursday morning, but revived little
in the course of that day, and the week
closed with an improvement Of Id. a
I'D. or American; I'D. a I'd, on Bra
zil aud Egyptian; and Id. on East India
descriptions, as likewise al general
advance on all other qualities, and with
degree of confidence on the part OF
holders scarcely to be expected; when
the great and rapid advance which has
occurred is taken into consideration,
the present stock of all descriptions is
not estimated at more than $4,000 to
10000 packages.
FLOUR of good fresh quality is
scarce; there are rather more inqul-
ries for this article, as change in our
corn laws seems again 10 be expected.

For the following letter relating to the
markets Of Gibraltar and Cadiz we are
indebted to a mercantile friend of this
city. Bali. FED. Gaz.
GIBRALTAR, 25th March, 1925.
"SIR-We wrote you on the 10Th
inst. and we have now only time to say
that flour is dull again, owing to the
order for its admission into Cadiz hav-
ing been suspended through intrigues.
We have besides had some rain and
large arrivals Of wheat.
"The suspension Of the order ut Ca
diz is a most shameful affair--but like
every thing else connected with SPAIN
We Just learn that the statements in
the preceding letter are confirmed by
two or three other letters received in
town from Gibraltar.
1tmay, perhaps, be necessary to give
some explanation of the foregoing, or at
least of that part of it which alludes TO
certain intrigues as having caused a
repeal of,he order in question. 1t is
we'll known, and we stated the fact some
time since in the Federal Gazette, that
from the moment the French occupied
Cadiz, they commenced system OF
smuggling and intrigue, to exclude all
other nations from the market. Under
the pretext of supplying their army,
every article of French manufacture
found its way into Cadiz, without any
visible increase of the revenue, but the
order Of the Spanish government, t.
admit flour, on paying small duty, in
terlered considerably with the French
systematic pretext of supplying their
army by their own ships did not exist
to the same extent; their smuggling
could not be so well covered; and il is
now supposed that they have intrigued
successfully with the court at Madrid
to obtain the repeal Of an order that
cut up so materially their trade. In this
event may be seen another ground OF
discomfort on the part of England, and
an additional reason for her viewing a
prolonged occupation of Spain by
France with jealousy.

CANALS BY STEAM.

The Cincinnati Emporium informs
us, that at the woollen mandatory in
that city there is model of machine
for excavating the earth for the forma-
ton of canals, the invention Of MIR,
French, Practical Engineer. 1t exca-
Yates, elevates, and places the earth on
the side of the canal, at any given dis
tance from its margin, at one opera
ton. The great simplicity of its con-
struction and movements, the almost
certainty Of its great practical utility,
will render its invention at this parti-
cular period matter of congratulation
to the citizens of this country, and, we
trust, of profit to its ingenious inven.
tor. We understand machine OF
sufficient magnitude is now building,
and expect this season to see steam
successfully applied to digging canals.

Susan and Elizabeth, Captain Richard Gray,
from Leghorn bound to Philadelphia, who
relieved us from our deplorable situation, in
latitude go, 80, N. longitude $50, w. after
being on the wreck, exposed to the winds
and waves for eight days and twenty -one hours,
without any thing to eat or drink than before
mentioned, and almost constant gales from N.
WV, N. N. E. accompanied with rain,
heavy thunderand sharp vivid lightning At
ter being on board the Susan & Elizabeth
thirty one hours, it being then eight O'Clock
IN the morning, we passed the schooner's
boat hiled with water and without the men;
whether they have been saved or not cannot
say, but there is no doubt but they are lost
When we got on board the Susan s. Elizabeth
we were there without shoes or hats, and only
the clothes that We wore during the time that
We were on the wreck, which was but just
enough to cover us; all the rest lost and buried
in the deep, with books, charts, nautical in
struments, &c.
1t requires more able pen than mine to re-
turn my heartfelt thanks to my satisfaction to
captain Gray, for the restoration of our lives,
and the kindness that he manifested towards
us during the time that We were on board his
vessel; also his passengers who treated us like
gentlemen. Their names were MIR. Charles
Lawrence, Mr.. Joseph Bedford. If in case
any ofmy fellow citizens should have the mis-
fortune to meet with the same disaster that
have, which Ihope they may not, would adj
wise and recommend them never to leave the
wreck while she keeps together, and it being
possible for them to secure themselves, let
the boat or boats be reserved for the last re-
source; see what the consequence has been
of these two men leaving the wreck; We pass.
ed the boat 90 miles distance from tho wrec
filed with water, and without the men as
before mentioned, and no doubt drowned.
return my thanks and prayer to the Almighty
for the preservation of our lives.
Iremain yours respectfully,

Chesapeake and Del4acare Canal.
In relation to the progress of this
work, we find the following paragraph
in one Of the last Philadelphia papers:
"The Chesapeake and Delaware Ca
nal is scene of great activity and dill
gence. 1t is excavated by sections on
private contracts with the general over
seer-a job comprehending usually
quarter of mile in length and twelve
feet deep. Near the Buck tavern is the
deep cat, through the apex of the hill
which rises gradually from both wa
ters. Its depth there is to be seventy
feet, and the width on the surface "a
bout two hundred feet-the regular
width Of the canal is forty feet. Near
the Buck a bridge is to be erected on
,wenty-feet abutments rising from the
banks, the centre Of the arch being Sc
venty feet from the bank, and ninety
from the water; it is built thus high to
permit the passage of vessels under it
without the inconvenience of draw
bridge. At this place the delivers are
engaged in digging small canal thro'
the middle Of the excavation, to intro
duce sufficient water from st. Georges
creek to admit boats to convey away
the dirt to fill up the marshes, &c
The dirt is now heaped on the bank at
sufficient distance from The water bed
TO leave room for wide tow-path.-
The work proceeds regularly and con-
s,antly. Empty teams continually
take the place of those which so off
with their loads, and by means of cop
per tokens given to each driver as he
takes away load, the precise number
is ascertained by the overseer. The
men are summoned to meals and work
by bell, which-must be punctually O.
beyed or forfeiture is incurred. The
workmen live in companies Of fifteen
and twenty in &antees-frame build
ings along the canal, provided with a
cook, or board in more private houses
erected for the purpose. 1t is difficult
to understand the magnitude of the I'M
dcrtaking without personal inspection.
The huge chasm at the Buck astonish-
es the spectator, although not one third
of the intended depth has been dug.
Marine substances lave been thrown
up from the depth of twenty and thirty
feet, and lately common Key was found
imbedded at that distance.

ExlE NyONXE0R,
ADVICE TO YOUTH.

On the coast of Norway is dreadful Whirlpool
The body of water which forms it is extended in
circle about Is miles in circumference In the
midst of this stands rock against which the tide in
its ebb is dashed with inconceivable fury when it
instantly swallows up every thing which comes
within its violence. No skill of the mariner nor
strength of rowing work an escape. The sal
or at the helm finds the ship at first going contrary
to his intention his vessels motion, though slow in
the beginning, becomes every moment more rapid,
it goes round in circles still narrower and narrower
till it is dashed against the rocks and entirely dis
appears.-And thus it fares with the hapless youth
that falls under the power of any vicious habit par
ticularly drunkenness. At first, he INDUCES with
caution and tmidity, struggles against the streams
of vicious inclination But every relapse carries him
farther down the current, and brings him nearer to
the fatal rock in the midst of the Whirlpool till at
length, Supplied and subdued, he yields without
struggle. 1t should also be observed, on the other
hand, good habits powerful as bad.
