may he rocked Tor, ana cultivation has this
year considerably extended, and il is said a
| fifth more seed OF wheat has been sown which
would enable an extra export next season of
5000, 090 bushels In France, Italy, Ger
! many, Prussia and Russia, the stecks Of old
! wheat consist almost entirely of inferior quail
| tiles, and best descriptions can only be ex-
pected from the new produce.
We have received from Prince Edwards
Island, the first cargo of embarrassing of
wheat, barley and oats. The wheat is good
red Canadian quality and the oats slack, and
apparently Irish seed ofimproved growth.
&5>Anti. Jackson meetings have been
held i'll the counties of Ohio and Gooch-
land, and delegates appointed to the
Convention which is TO meet in Balti-
more.
&SeGen. jackson has had recently a
severe attack of fever. The Giote saws
he has entirely recovered, and that his
health is better now than it has been
for several years.
The Woodstock Sentinel mentions an
invention by Mr.. Jonas Ably, of Middle
town, Frederick county, by which from
one to twenty pair of Boots NAV be cut
out at one stroke of the knife. 1t is said
also to require no particular experience
in the business. A shop right may be
had for twenty dollars.
The SMALLPOX has appeared in Rich
mond.-The Compiler mentions four
cases. Precautionary measures have
been taken by the city authorities to
prevent the spread of the disease. The
first case is said to have been brought
from Baltimore. We learn, likewise,
from Pittsburg, Pa, that several cases
have occurred in that city. Persons
who have not been vaccinated ought to
be. without delay: it is the only security
-s9~-
The Newark papers state that the
majority OF two members obtained by
the Jackson party in the legislature of
New-Jersey was gotten only by fifteen
votes-one Jackson member having
been elected by q majority Of eleven,
and another by four.
The Tariff Convention met at New
York on the Goth of last month.-It
is said to number about five hundred
| delegates. a Convention of Iron-mas-
tiers met OF the same day in Philadel-
phia. This is right. While the oppo-
nents of the protective SYSTEM" are a.
wake and active, the friends of "homc
industry" would be wanting in duty to
their country did they not oppose
meeting TO meeting, and argument to
argument"
We believe that the counties of Kan
awha, Ohio and Jefferson, in this State,
are represented in the Convention at
New York.
At q late exhibition Of Domestic man.
ufactures in Philadelphia, some stuff
called American Nankin, made by Mr..
Collet, of Patterson. New jersey, from
cotton raised by the Hon. John Forsyth,
ofGeorgia, attracted particular attention.
The cotton is of a peculiar kind it has
natural and permanent nankin yellow
color, and makes strong and servicea-
Bile cloth.
@The following paragraph affords e
most excellent reason why the Lddie,
should be in favour of the Tariff:
DOmestic Industry 1t has been ionnd out
in New Hampshire, "ttat there are fer or
no bachelors among mechanics" We believe
the discovery is we'll founded,
-~see--
o. We perceive that the good peo-
pie Of Washington city are threatened
with a nuisance Of no common charac-
ter. Mrs. Anne Royal has issued pro-
Posals for publishing a paper in that
place to be called paul Pry." The
inmates Of the Palace and their depen-
dents had better look to their ways in
time.
II now appears more than probable
that the body of the black man which
was found floating in New River, was
not that Of Nat Turner though il
might have been that of the fellow whe
was seen on Prices mountain. a re-
examination of the body has been had,
and the knot mentioned in the descrip-
ton attached to the Governors procla-
10 alton, as being on one Of his wrists,
was not found, nor is there any mention
Of the scars, which were the strongest
and most certain marks. This negro had
stated that he belonged to Ira Hunt of
Franklin county, to some person in the
neighborhood where he was drowned. !
