STANDARD OF FLOUR-We COW tho fol
lowing article from late Richmond Whig-re-
marking by the way, tina: the facts stated are but
too true. We trust, however, that the procedure
is about to be corrected BY the new inspection
law, passed at the recent session of the MARYLAND
Legislature, VIC look with confidence to such a re.
form in the system, will cure the evil, and re-
store baltimore Flour to its former high character
IN foreign markets. The Richmond Wing saws:
u edmond Flour was selling at Rio Janeiro,
on the 2lst Feb. at 16l-while Baltimore was
unsuitable at ST. The Baltimoreans formerly had
the Rio Market to themselves But our skillful
and enterprsing City Millers have now the COM
plete ascendancy in the Brazil markets This is
the true cause why our City Mills Flour commands
higher price than any other-and should be
cause OF general graduation, it is of general
prosperity IN this section of the country.
The Baltimore American of Saturday, thus ex
plains the new Inspection Law:
FLOUR.-'The new Inspection Law which was
enacted at the late session ofthe State Lepslature
has gone into operation since our last Report 1t
provides tor the appointment of an Inspector Gen.
erai and three deputies. Its provisions in reference
TO the standard of inspection are important TO both
manufacturers and buyers-the design of the law
being to raise that standard SO as to render the
quality of the Baltimore superfne flour equal in all
respects to any manufactured in the United States
In conformity with these provisions the officers
named in the law have taken for the standard bar
rel OF Maryland flour which had been submitted TO
various tests and comparisons with barrel of the
best Richmond (Gallego) brand and was proved to
DC equal at least, in every way, to the latter To
this standard all the flour now or hereafter insnect
ed is to conform, before it can be passed as sinner
hne. VI course the various grades of ssuperfner
which were until now known in this market will
hereafter cease to be used. We find, in making
our usual inquiries to-day, that some parcels Of
nour which would have passed 'superfne" un
der the old law have not received that brand under

MISSION TO Communicating value of the pro-
misses OF "Rc,rcnchment," made by Candidate
Jackson, is farther illustrated by the Mission to
Guatemala, an insignificant South American
State, in a condition of entire dsorganizaton,
and of civil war, with two wretched little ports,
according to Mr.. Tazcwcll,) with which we have
4 triiling trade, and which has no Representative
here. Mr.. Jeties, we believe, was first dispatched
by Gen. Jackson, as Charge TO this country, but
public opinion forcing his abandonment upon the
President, MIR. Jau.es Shannon, of Kentucky, was
next selected. If Retrenchment were seriously
contemplated, would this Mission have been nsti.
tuted! If the object was to promote the Public
interest," Instead of it is TO provide for avoritcs
and partizans would not the dignity of the u
States have been consulted, by awaiting the first
overture for diplomatic intercourse to come from
Guatemala? How the Senate came to make the
appropriation, the reader will discover from the
Debate. The Minister TO that country would not
have boen confirmed, had the Senate earlier pos
se'sed the intelligence Of its condition 1t is a
small affair, but is new tributary to swell the vo-
lumc of that evidence, which stamps in ineffacea
bic characters, fraud upon Jackson's promises of
"Reform and Rctrcnchmcnt," and demonstrates,
that the cardinal principle of his fagtious rule,
has been to reward out of the funds Of the Public
the instruments of his prepostorous elevation.

SUBJECT with which am well acquainted and should
not notice the piece, but for the inaccuracies it con-

Veiied road became almost impossible Capt Dos
WE'LL OF Hanover, an enterprizing and worthy citi
uzen, conceived the plan of opening 4 road upon
what Is called the direct route from Frederick
TO Richmond and with that view, had the necessary
surveys made, and believe, at his own expense .
And about the same time, the Post Office Depart
ment had the mail road from Maine tie Georgia sur

culated the direct line between those points bv an
ar line, to be Sd miles By Strengthening the course
from fredericksburg to Boiling Grecn-thence to

turnpike TO near the Pamunkey, where he fell in
with high and short hills, which continued more or

SENATOR BIBB OF KENTUCKY under the ban-It
may be remembered, that when the vote upon Van
Buren's nomination was taken in the Senate Mr.
Bibb of Kentucky was absent at the Supreme
Court. Conjecture was various as to how he would
have voted, if present. We understood at the time,
from respectable private sources that Mr. Bib was
decidedly opposed to the nomination.
Mr.. Senator Moore. of Alabama having been in
temporarily assailcd at home for his vote against
the nominee, wrote and published, a very able vim
dication of his own conduct, and ofthc rights and
independence ofthe Senate of the United States
most grossly nsultcd by the minions of Jacksonism
the Pensioned Press, office holders and office hunt
ers, for the exercise of constitutional discretion
repeatedly exercised at former times by the Senate
with popular appreciation, and which, if the Senate
is to be intmdated from its exercise, the President
of the United States, is to that branch of his du-
ties dcspotic as the Gar. AS personal defence
and constitutional argument, Gov Moores Address

That "hc vas authorized to say the disclosures on
the nomination If Mr.. Van Buren,, mere such, That
had he (r Rbb) been present, he mould hare roted

Upon this statement of Gov. Moore the Globe
took issue upon the fact, and called in question the
veracity of the Senator from Alabama This led to
the following correspondence between Msssrs

WAR WITH ENGLAND.

The President has expressed the opinion, that
the rejection of Van Buren's nomination, would
cause War with England! Pcrusc what follows,
from the New York Commercial:
ain rcmarkinr upon Mr.. Van Buren's rejection.
MIR. Holmes related and ridiculed the opinion and
the fear expressed by the President, in his CONVEX
sations, that the rejection of the nomination would
CAUSE WAR BETWEEN GREAT BRIrAIN vNp TIE
UNITED STATES, and his declaration that he would
not nominate another Minister to that country,
unit! he had ascertained in what manner the Bri.
fish Government would consider the recall of Mr.
Van Buren,. Mr.. Holmes said he relied upon no
newspaper authority for this statement. l. was
true: and the man to whom the President use d
this language, was on that floor, and in his eve.
MIR. Grundy cried out, ''name him." Mr.. Holmes
again vouchcd for the truth of the statement and
declared that no held himself responsible for its
truth"
What wise President we have! Mr.. Holmes
veracity will be disputed, to blunt the edge of this
elf.furn,shed and most damnatory proof of the
Presidents original ignorance, do,ing mbecilitv;
nevertheless, a gentleman was here q few DAYS

Upon what discovery, known principle is it.
that because the Cypress had attained its full
growth $50 years ago, Mr.. Ward says it must now
be at least 1000 years old? Is it usccrtained that
the Cypress requires 1900 years to attain its
growth? Perhaps 400 years was meant and the
comp"sitor put one ought too many.

AS tho time for the departure of the Bank Commit

IN order to take advantage of such depreciation.
