Prices of Produce in Alexandria yest,

Wheat of good quality, clear Of Weavil, and
weighing from Sc to- 90 lbs. per bushel, is much
wanted. The las, sales OF Corn was at The
ouota,ion: but we have heard of a cargo being
sold and delivered at Washington on the 9th
inst. which brought IS cents. Oats have and
will still command the price a, which they are
quoted. We are persuaded from all the inior-
nation we can collect, that Grain OF every des,
criplion, particularly Corn, commands as good
prices in this market, as in any port on the wa
tiers Of the Chesapeake.

thursday MORNING, FEBRUARY 9, 1896.

We have made voluminous extracts from our
London papers, all of which will be found un-
usually interesting. In addition the to N. York
accounts, relative TO the death Of the great
Autocrat of Russia, a letter has been received
in Philadelphia from Hamburg, bearing date
The 10th December, and stating that Constantine
left Warsaw for ST. Petersburg, Immediately
on receiving intelligence Of the death Of his
Brother. The writer further states, that
Constantine has been excluded from the Throne
by a ukase of Alexander, because he married
a Polish Countess, and his brother Nicholas
appointed as successor to the Throne. II Is
said that this is published in the Court Alma
mack Of 1926, for the first time.
Should this be true, and Constantine, as is
pretended, be a great favorite in the army, the
tranquility of Europe mast inevitably be dis
turbed. IL Nicholas can rally around him a
sufHcientforce to contend for his throne, Poland
may, perhaps, again dream of Liberty, and
vhiIe the noble brothers are waging civil war,
Austria and France may seek 10 agSrandlze
themselves at the expense of the Porte-What
may not happen

We turn with delight from the p~ragmatic
doings Of some other legislatures, TO the sensi-
BILE, modest and patriotic course OF that OF
MARYLAND on the subject Of the Panama Mis-
sion. 1t will be remembered that certain reso-
buttons were some few davs ago submitted in
the House Of Delegates, with a view OF giving
the blindfold appreciation OF the Legislature to
the important measure which now lays claim
r., the undivided attention Of the whole coun-
try. These resolutions were referred to a Sc
lee, committee, who, on Saturday last made the
following iudicious report, which will be con-
CURED in, say letters from Annapolis, BY a great
majority.
REPORT
The committee to whom were referred the resolu.
tons relative to the mission 10 the Congress OF Panama,
have considered them with the attention, which the
importance of the subject demands, and beg leave to
report
That thew are ready to avow the most entire con-
fdence in the fidelity, ability and PATRIOTISM, OF the
administration; confidence which they believe to be
generally and deeply felt by the people OF this
state-and that in relation to the momentous measure,
which is the subject of the resolutions, so far as the
views Of the government have been developed, they
know of nothing tending TO shake that confidence.
That this subject now engages the profound atten
ton of the national Legislature, to which he open, ave
nues of information in regard to the foreign relations OF
the country, to which this body has not access
Under which circumstances, your committee are OF
opinion, that il would be premature, impolitc and un-
wise, to interfere with the subject.
1t is before the authorities, who alone have the lights
to enable them to discern all its probable effects upon
the welfare Of our country and OF mankind at large, and
to whom has been delegated the power t decIde'
The committee therefore report the resolutions with
out amendment, and pray to be discharged from the
further consideration of them.

some report, embracing tuli information, should
be made. Mr.. McLane, Of Delaware, confirm
ed Mr.. Condict's suggestion that the Commit

investigate the subject, they having too many
impor,ant propositions before them, and agreed
with Mr.. Cooke, that a select was

Of seven, which was agreed to
The orders Of the day were next in turn, and
on motion of Mr.. McLane Of Delaware the
House resolved itself into Committee Of the
Whole on the Bill making appropriate ns for
the support of the Government during the
nresent wear, bur no further amendments being
offered to that bill, the Committee took up the
bill making appropriations 'for the Military
Establishment Of the United States, for the
wear 1885, which was read by sections and
agreed to without the introduction OF any I'M
por,ant amendments
Mr.. Hamilton of South Carolina offered an
amendment, making an appropriation Tor the
establishment of a School of Artillery at For
tress Monroe, and supported his proposition
with great zeal and ability. Mr.. Vance, OF
Ohio, replied to him in a strain OF inappiicahle
ifnot unintelligible sarcasm, giving the most
irdisnutable evidence, that the .Hf Rfihtd're was
not his fort. Mr. Drayton Of South Carolina,

BoLIvAR's MARRI AGE CONTRACT


A Norwich, Con paper thinks the story of :

stood that the family of the young lady at Saybrook
know nothing Of he matter The New York Ga
zette does not think the story questionable although
the family know nothing OF the subject; as letters

mentioned thd positive engagement had been en-
tered into between the parties. We (Centinel)
have made inquiries on the interesting subject Of a
gentleman recently from Peru, who was partially
acquainted with all the parties and visited families
where all amatory gossips were well known And
he Informs US, that late as May last, when he
left Lima, he had not heard OF any circumstance,
or even hint which indicated any contract of the
kind being on the tapis, or was contemplated; and
that other circumstances did exist, within his
knowledge, which rendered such contract i'm
probable. He thinks the report 10 have been a
