The New Orleans papers mention an inSen'o's
way practised of defrauding the customs. which,
if tolerated, threatens ruin to the sugar growers
of Louisiana.
Its kind of syrup, which has not been suii'
GENTLY boiled to sranua;e, but contains more
than two-thirds of sugar. One gallon of this
syrup, from actual experiment, yields from eight
to niue pounds of sugar. IL, therefore, such an
importation be allowed, il is evident that the SUI
gar re6ners, not the planters. will furnish US with
sugar; the latter being unable 10 stand 50 fnrml-
dabIe competition. "A recently imported cary"
of this commodity has been seized by col''c-
tor, and we nnpa;eO'y await the award OF the
court On this subject. which materially Affects the
interests of our State. II the seizure be not con-
frmcd, the duty on sugar is ilusory, inasmuch
as that obtained from the syrup pays something
Tess than half cent, instead of four cents impos-
ed by the tariff. There is but little doubt but
that great quantity Of this article has been III
troduced In the United States; aud to attribute
to this the depreciation OF our sugars IN the North
ern ports, is not an unreasonable superstition

Resolutions III die rather thar submit to slavery, or
heightened captivity in Russia or Siberia. The
majority of the National Government entertains
the same sentiments; therefore, we must expect
shortly a sanguinary aud decisive battle under
the walls OF Warsaw"
FRANKFORT, Aug. 30.-A report is current
here, said to have been received oy express from
Berlin, that Warsaw has surrendered to the
Russians.
The HAGUE, Aug. 31.-The Government has
received accounts from Batavia to the 4th OF May,
and from Surinam to the 4th Of July. The East
and West India Colonies enjoy perfect tranquil
hty. The spirit of the inhabitants is all that can
be desired, and in Java entire harmony prevailed
between the Dutch and the Belgian soldiers.
The Ministers Of the Five Powers, at London.
have published manifesto in relation to the war
with Holland and the march of the French troops
into Belgium, from which the following is ex'
tracted:
..The Penipotentiaries of the Five Powers re-
gard the entrance of the French troops into Bel
GUM AS having taken place. not with any InteI'
ton peculiar to France, but for an object towards
which the deliberations of the Conference were
directed, and it remained understood that the ex.
tent to be given TO the operations OF these troops,
and their continuance in Belgium, should be fixed
by common agreement between the five courts at
the Conference in London. 1t also remained un-
derstood that in case the cooperation OF the Eng
ish feet should be required, this fleet should act
only for the purpose Of accomplishing the same
views and upon the same principles. Besides, II
remained agreed that the french troops should
not pass the ancient frontiers Of Holland, that
their operations should be confined to the left
bank of the Meuse, and that under no clrcum-
stances should they invest the fortress of Macs
triCht, or that of Venloo, because then the
war would be carried too near the frontiers OF
Prussia and Germany, and might give rise to Sc
iious and complicated questions which the Pow
ers we're DESTROYS of avoiding: and finally, that III
conformity with the declarations made by the
French Government to the representatives OF the
four Courts at Paris. the French troops should
retire within the limits of France, as soon as the
armstlce was re.estabished as 1t existed before
the renewal of hostilities. Finally, the Confer
ence agreed that these last events ought to induce
It the more strongly to occupy itself with detl-
niiye treaty calculated to put an end to all dl'-
ference between Holland aud Belgium. and which
VAS Indispensable for the maintenance OF the

AUTUMN.

Tho season is stealing silently onward when the Goddess of Nature disrobes her. self of her simple blooming livery ofgreen, and assumes her rich, russet and variegated mantle, as if to conceal her waning charms by a display of gorgeous decoration.- Crowned by the blessings of industrious toll, the heart of the husbandman expands, as he proudly beholds his overaowing granaries, and his feelings swell with exul- tation at the sight of his bending orchards, unfolding the golden treasures of P Pomona. Home, always the dearest spot on earth, is now the abode of renovated fondness springing from the rich profusion of the of ferings of the season-a sanctuary from which labor has expelled barrenness and pinching want. Gratitude to the all boun- teous Giver is among the duties enjoined on humanity, to a sense of which obliga- ton, the appearance of all things around may well recall the coldest disposition.
 "Think, oh, grateful think,
 "Who pours abundance OCT your flowing felds."
 In the midst of the reign of the perfect ness of Natures stores, her decay is also visible the falling of the dry and withered leaf is a touching emblem of mortality ap- pealing with irresistible though melancholy influence 10 our hearts.
 While on the subject of the season, we cannot forbear subjoiDing the following beautiful and appropriate remarks:
 "There is an eventide in human life, a season, when the eye becomes dim, and strength decays, and when the winter of age begins to shed upon the human head its prophetic snow.
 "You have entered upon the autumn of your being, in which you may mediate up- on the past and future, and compose your self for the mighty change which you are soon to undergo. ,,
 "It is now you may understand the magnificent language of heaven-it mingles its voice with that of revelation--it sum mons you in these hours when the leaves fall, and the winter is gathering, to that evening study which the mercy of heaven has provided in the book of salvation. And while the shadowy valley opens, which leads to the abode of death, itspeaks of that love which can conduct to those green pastures and those still waters, where there is an eternal spring for the children of God.'-Miner's Journal.

on, awaiting their trial, they were inform ed that MT. Hays was not only suspected, but openly charged with abstracting that part of the money which was missing.
 They expressed great indignation at so ma lignant an accusation, andrStated that the amount not found had been placed beyond the reach of Hays before Murray was ar- rested. It can hardly be supposed that any unworthy suspicious can now be att tached to this meritorious public servant, who has passed the prime of his years in the discharge of an arduous and unpleasant duty.-JOurn0l of Commerce.
 EXPENSIVE JoKE.-A case was tried last week in the Common Pleas in Portland, which had its origin in joke, and in the end cost the joker about hundred and for ty dollars. Nearly year ago Jonathan from the country came into town with a load of baskets for sale. While teaning about the streets in quest of purchasers. a gentleman began to banter him for his load. lie offered his load for forty dollars, which the gentleman agreed to give if he would take his note. The bargain was conclu- ded, and tlie note given, signed by ficti- tious name, and witnessed by by-stander also with a fictitious name. The basket merchant was directed where to carry his load, and started off, and perambuating the town till he was weary in quest of the place to which he had been directed, and not be- ing able to find it, he returned and dischar- ged his cargo upon the premises of the purchaser. The purchaser remonstrated with him, told him he had not bought the baskets, that he did not want them, and should not receive them. But the basket merchant said he guessed he knew what he was about; he'd sold his baskets, and he would have his pay for them. He accord- ingly started off and applied to an attorney for assistance in obtaining his pay. The purchaser beginning to suspect that the joke was in train to be turned upon him. self, offered ten dollars to the basket mer- off. But no; Jonathan, who had been a deputy-sherif somewhere back in the woods, guessed he knew what he was a. bout. He had sold his baskets, and he would have his forty dollars. The pur. chaser thinking he was not holden by the fictitious paper, and that he had offered the man liberal compensation for the trouble he had caused him, refused to do any thing more about it. The quondam dep- uty, who it seems knew something about handling the edged tools of the law, was determined to have the whole amount of the bond, and accordingly left his grist in law mill and departed. The affair was ground out at the present sitting of the Court, when it appeared that the little for ty-dollar grist that had been thrown into the hopper had swollen to nearly hum dred and forty dollar affair, affording good fat toll for the miller, and slice here and slice there, for all the labourers round about the mill.-POytland Courier.

pistol, while the other approached the coach window, and said, l" We are sdven- turers, and request you to give us up instant ly the portion of the bride."
 The colonel and his son-in-Iaw swore and ranted, but the robber coollV insisted upon his demand. After some parIeying. however, the horseman bent towards the young man, and whispered in his ear, That you may see we are most reasona- ble men, we leave you the choice of two things,-give US either the bride or her por- ton for certain reasons it is quite imma- terial to us, and moreover, no one shall ever know your decision.
 The bridegroom did not think long about the matter, for he whispered, "Take the bride !''-" Brother," cried the rObber t0 his accomplice, i've shall take the bride."
 In the twinkling of an eye, the soldier seized his gentle son-in-law by the neeks shook him violently and exclaimed with laundering voice, ella! villain SO my conjecture was not unfounded, that you cared not for my daughter, but merely for her fortune! God be praised that my child and my money are not yet irrevocably in your clutches !-Know, then, knave tho man who married you was no clergyman, he was brother soldier, in priests attire; and these gentlemen are no how highway men, but friends who have done esthe service of proving you. Since, then, you have laid open your whole vileness, we shall have no more connexion. I shall re- turn home with my daughter and my mon- ey, and you may go to London--or to the devil ]"
 With these words he transplanted the as- tonished bridegroom with kick from the carriage to the road, and ordered the post illion 10 turn about. The outlaw trudged back to London, and had, while upon tho road, the fairest and best opportunity of determining whether he should now use a pistol, or throw himselfin the river.
