Fzom.-The wagon price of -four opened last
week at "a 50, and continued steady on Monday
at that price. Tuesday the current price was S4
81. Wednesday and Thursday S4 so a "a So,
though few loads were purchased as low as "a
o. or "a eS. The depression was caused by the
increased supplies. Friday and Saturday it
again improved, opening on Friday morning at
S4 SS, and closing at S4 37a to AZ. Saturday
40 and 4 40 were most current. few loads
were purchased early in the day at 81, and one
or two subsequently at a fraction over a.
Sales to some extent were made from stores on
W ednesday, Thursday and Friday at 4 IS, 4 s.
and 4 S73. Saturday two lots each 100 barrels
were sold at 40 and AZ one lot of 500 barrels
alta as. The market closed with more firmness,
and holders generally asked so.
1t will be seen, by ouI inspection returns, that
our receipts of King street Flour, last week, were
unusually large; but the export was doubly so,
being more than the estimated stock at the close
of the previous weeG-leaving our stock on hand
less than the quantity received in one week.
From the best information that we can obtain, the
whole stock in town, of all kinds, does not ex-
coed 5000 barrels. stock in King street
is estimated at about 1000 bbs., being from Is
to q, 900 bbls. less than usual at this season of
the year.
Yesterday the price from Wagons was 81 40
"a 40. We are not advised of any sales from
stores, but consider the market as without atera-
ton since Saturday; we have heard OF 81 IS be-
ing offered for 100 brls. and refused.

An AFRIcAr NoBLEMAN. In the little Bassa
country near Liberia, there is Spanish slave
trader, who styles himself Don yMagiu, Lord of
the Sun, Moon, and Stars, and Ten thousand
Dollars. He lives in princely style, and il is
more than suspected that he is concerned in p.
racy. lie recently ordered one of his slaves to
be bound to post in a watch. house, and the
house to DO set on fire. About the Same time
another was dashed to a cannon, which was
loaded and fred. This is but single example
Of the cruelties which are practsed in Africa.

PLAIN TRuTHs. When Judge Mclean, the
former able Post Master General, left the Post
Office Department, there was a surplus of about
$2O0,O0O on hand. One year has elapsed, and
Mr. Barry, the present Post Master General,
asks from the Treasury an appropriation Of
$4,000, which sum, the Post Office Depart
ment is deficient, over and above tho 100000
which Judge Mclean left in the Department.
This is the first time since the establishment
Of the Government, that the revenue of tho
Post Office has not been sufficient 10 meet tho
expenditures. Mr.. Bary's unparalleled dis
bursements are attributed by him to the great
increase of new routes and establishments of
new Post Offices. But let il be remembered,
that whilst Judge Mclean was in the Depart
ment, he doubled the whole number of Mail
routes in the United States, and yet his De-
partment always yielded large surplus rev.
enue
Independent Of the vast increase of the OK
penses in the Department, under tho manage
ment of Mr.. Barry, the whole system has be-
come deranged, and letters and papers are eve
ny where received with the utmost irreg ularity.
Such are the advantages of the reform" under
Gen. Jackson.

BREACH OF PROMISE. In the Court of King s
Bench, silk manufacturer, Of the name of
Anwyl, has been cast in damages to the amount
Of $500 for breach of promise of marriage to
Miss Coke, of Leicester. The plaintiff was
young lady of great accomplishments, and un-
exceptionable in every point of vew-her age
was two and twenty. The defendant was an
uneducated man, somewhere about forty. He
had, by long course of assiduities, underworld
to secure the young lady's affections and at
his earnest request the marriage day was fixed
1t appeared that Miss Coke required to be bled
several times for some inhammatory affection,
during the correspondence which she maintain
ed with plaintiff; and she was obliged to en-
ploy her sister to write some of her letters. The
defendant declared that the use of her sisters
services was deceit practsed upon him, and
refused to make good his engagement. On be-
ing demonstrated with by the young lady's faith
er, he admitted that he was " a villain" and
again fixed the wedding day. Again he broke
his word and Miss Coxe's health had in con-
sequence been destroyed. Among his letters
produced in Court, was one which ended in
this fashion:
When, night and morn, on Bonded knee,
Then, dearest Susan, think Of me-"
