Nr. Sno,rda-The following may not be bad
advice for Flour dealers in this country.
The Editor Of a London Price Current CON-
mences speculation on the Corn Trade with the
following diplomatic sentences:
:. Although we are fully aware that the only
correct differences to be deduced, in the Corn
Trade, are from existing circumstances, and that
no conclusions can be made from analogy, or any
antecedent fact. yet it is fair to argue, that as
former circumstances have led to previous re-
suits. there still! remains the probability of
recurrence"

MRLAEcHoLY EVENT. A most affecting dis
psnsatinn of Providence took place on Satur-
day, July 9. The Rev. John E. Weston, late
Pastor ofthe Baptist Church at Lechmere Point,

chaise towards Nashua village, where he had
engaged to preach on the Sabbath, having
another gentleman In company with him, (Mr.
Bachelor Of LYNN When they had reached
the town of Wilmington they drove into pond
on the road side to refresh their horse but on
Iva few feet from the edge of the pond, the
water is 90 feet deep, of which circumstance
they were not apprized-and they instantly
! found themselves sinking. Mr.. Weston could
not swim; Mr.. Bachelor held him up as long
as possible, but was at length compelled TO
leave him, and saved himself by swimming to
the shore. The unfortunate Mr. Weston i'm
medlately sunk in deep water. His bcsiy was
taken out in forty minutes afterwards, but the
spirit had gone to its rest! Blessed are the
dead who die in the Lord" Mr. Weston has

men, with a large train Of artillery, had assem-.
bled near Adrianople, and was prepared TO
march against the rebels and squadron com
posed OF frigate and several sloops, had sailed
for the coast of Albania to blockade its ports If

CENSUS OF VIRGINIA. Bythe recent census

CENSUS OF VIRGINIA. By the recent census
it appears that Virginia contains ,2l1 ,252 in
habitants. Ofthese 694 ,44n, are whites 469, :
us are slaves, and 47,0S6 are free coored per-
sons. OF the whites 375,925 are in Eastern
and 3l5,505 in Western Virginia. The differ
ence in favor of the former is only 57,430.
The latter not many years since was a wilder
ness, and. until qnite recently, had little polit-
ical influence in tine affairs of the State. And
even now they are by no means on an equality
with the inhabitants of the Eastern counties,
and discomfort has risen so high, that the pro-
ject Of dividing the State into two has been Sc
riously agitatea. Still, however,. the new Con-
stitntlon is better for them than the old and
in time, doubtless, they will obtain what is
right, by less violent methods.
In Western Virginia there are only 53,466
slaves; ALT the rect are on the other side of the
mountains. The air of the West does moi
seem fitted FOR the lungs Of slavery.

POLAND. The next arrival from Europe will
probably bring accounts of great, perhaps de.
clsivc, battle between the Poles and Russians
Hitherto, almost every account has announced
fresh successes on the part Of Poland, and this
fact is, perhaps, on the whole encouraging TO
the friends OF liberty. Still it is inconcelvable
that the Poles should be able to maintain their
Independence, if the great autocrat should re.
solve on decisive blow. There is something
mysterious in the affairs OF this part Of the
world. Either the disposition of Nicholas is
more pacific than has been supposed, or the
physical and numerical strength of his army
has been greatly overrated. The Poles, il is
true, are not Turks, and the Russians find
them very different foes from those they had to
contend with two years ago. But still, admit
ting that Nicholas had resolved on the subiuga
tlon of Poland, it is unaccountable that he
should not, months ago, have sent an army
there that should have have butchcred every
man, woman and child, in the country. We
are encouraged to believc,-what we have al.
ways hoped--that the Russians have more bra.
vado than bravery, and that some of their repu.
tation has been derived more from lncky cir
cumstances than the exercise of wit, wisdom
or courage.-Boston Courier.
