Extract of letter from Barring

OTotlfeEo a CO.. oI LOnuon:-
the Wool trade. IN al its branches,
has been in an improving state for the
last twelve months, and prices Of every
description and denomi alton Of that
,artlclc have now attained al elevation
Iof from 20 to 40 per cent. above the
rates OF that period. The settlement
of several important political question,
external as well as internal, has give,4
an impulse to trade, in which that OF
the Woolens has shared largely, and
the accidental circumstance OF the
produce ofthe clip in every wool-grow
ing district in Europe. falling short
20 a 25 per cent, compared with the
quantity of for rer years, has materially
contributed to enhance the price OF the
article. English Wool having within
these last two years become an article
of export, is now. though SO soon after
shearing time, absolutely scarce,
which of course materially influences
IFS value. The coarse Woods from the.
Mediterranean and South America,s
being wanted to supply the deficiency
Of English, are consequently In good
demand aud of ready sale. With
German Wool our market is but rarely
supplied at present. The Spanish
Woods are not yet come round; there
Is no stock on hand and the prices in
Spain rate high.".

1882, and may still be fresh in the re

Major Keller, Of PORT Lawrence.
on the Maumee river, with bis inter.
esting little daughter, Grace, aged a.
bout Is years, took passage from San
dusky Bay, in the schooner Eclipse,
which was bound to Detroit. The
Major requested the Captain to see
him and his daughter ashore On the
Middle Bass. one OF. the Put-in-Bay
Islands, for the purpose of taking a
small boat to go to Port Lawrence.
The Major engaged Mr.. Martin and
his son to take himself and daughter to
his place ofresidence. They embark
ed from the island in small boat, with
good weather. Having proceeded on
their way about 20 miles, they were
overtaken by tremendous storm,
which jeopardized many human lives,
and vessels Of every description on the

BILE was the raging storm, that the
Island. which contains about one hun
dred acres, although it afforded them
dry land, and a momentary security
for themselves, from the violence ofthe
storm, vet afforded none to the frail
bark. and she was soon dashed 10 pieces
on the rocks, in spite Of all their efforts
to prevent it. They were then with
out any possible means of transporting
themselves to an inhabited island, or
sheltering themselves fromtte force Of
tempest. An old meat axe was the
only instrument which accident had
left them for the preservation of their
lives upon this remote and desolate
island. Totally destitute of any kind
of provisions. and without any possible
means ofprocuring any. more gloomy
prospect could not be presented to the

The whole suit arrived here few
days since, loaded with assumed disn:-
ty and costly presents.
Koekuck's band speedily followed. TO
welcome their brothers. \ grand
council assembled, among whom was
myself, to witness the deliverince Of
the Hawk to his nation. The council
opened with the address Of the Presi-
dent to Black Ii. in which he was
informed in future, he is to yield su-
premacy to koekuok, the white mans
friend.
The old chief rose in violent agita-
tion-denied ths.t the President had
told him so, and that he would not be
advised by an, body--that he wanted
what he said 10 he told to the Presi-
dent, and that he, in person, would
have said SO in Washington, but that
his interpreter could not sufficiently
make known his views. the tol.
made him speech, stating that by
his own treaty, neither he nor his peo-
pie couli. for the future, head band,
and that, by that treaty, Korkuck Was
placed head Of the Sac Nstion. &C
Koekuck, with benevolent look. spoke
awhile to the Hawk, then addressed
the Council, begging nothing might
be remembered of what the Hawk
said-taat he was too old to say any
thing good and that ne was answerable
Tor his good behaviour. The poor old
chief rec lied his words. and / do not
know that my sympathies were ever
more excited than in witnessing his
expiring struggle for freedom--noth-
Ing but his advanced age and want of
military power viii prevent him from
making another effort. The Koek
uck's band gave US splendid dance
but the Hawks party were either too
detected or else too sullen to partici-
pate in the festivities.
Thus, you may tell the good people
Of New York; these Indians would
willingly get up another war, in order
to make another visit to the asst. and
then return loaded down with presents
and aim ost satiated with attention.

CURIOUS MIGRATION OF EELs.-A,

CURIOUS MIGRArIoN OF EELs.-An
annual migration Of young eels also
takes place in the river Thames in the
month of May, and they have gener-
ally made their appearance at King
ston in their way upwards, about the
second week in that month, and acci-
dent has SO determined it, that for sew
eral years together, it was remarked
that the tenth Of May was the day of
what the fishermen call eel fair: but
they have been more irregular in their
proceeding since the interruption Of
the lock at Teddington. These young
eels are about two inches in length, and
they have their approach in one regu-
lar and undertaking column Of about
FIVE inches in breadth, and as thick to-
gether as it is possible for them to be.
As the procession generally lasts two
or three days, and as they appear to
move at the rate Of nearly two miles
and half an hour. some idea may be
formed of their enormous number
The line ofmarch is almost universally
confined to one bank of the river, and
not on both sides at the same time; but.
from some instructive or capricious I'M
pulse. they will cross the river. and
change the side without any apparent
reason for doing so.
When the column arrives ut the en-
trance ola tributary stream which emp
ties itself into the river certain por-

WAsIIINoroN. Feb. 26.


Our late ten days minister TO Russia
honored Andrew Jackson, Esq. with the
first call, after the fatigues Of the jour-
new had Welded to a few days Of rest
From the free manner in which he has
spoken of Andrew Jackson, Esq. this
call has surprised the friends of the late
minister. But an apology is found in tho
pressing opportunities Of mr. Benton. =
Most of those with whom mr. Randolph
was formerly intimate, have but little in
tercourse with the Executive; and here
after thew will have less. MIR Randolph
visited the Senate last evening, and was
an object of curiosity TO those who had
not seen HIM before; and he was cordi-
ally received by his friends. Virginia 8
pride holds out to the last, and her sons
write the foibles of her popular public
men in the sand. A portion of her DEL
egation paid the closest attention to Mr.
Randolph, and seemed to consider it an
honor to be permitted to do so. His
health is evidently miserable ; and why
he should have selected the night fox
visiting the Senate, in preference to the
dav, is not known, unless it be, that he
/ delights to initiate whatever is done in
England. Mr. Clay rose TO say few
words preceding a motion for adjourn
ment when mr. Randolph heard his
voice he wished to be removed in line
with the front of the colonade, so that ne
might see him. His vision was obstruct-
ed by the gentlemen who occupied the
space between them, and an avenue was
| opened in the crowd, so that the eye, as
well as the ear might perform its Office
] AS soon as the Senate adjourned, Nj
Randolph sgniied his wish to speak tt
mr. Clay; and when the latter approach
ed him, he requested his friends to raise
him upon his feet, and he shook his han'
very cordially. However good this worl'
) is, it would he considered a very sngu
: lar one, if all the mutations Of its inhabi
, tants were infinitely noted. Mr. Clay, il
the opinion of mr. Randolph, as expires
sed few months since, was too ignoran
: to discover the effect and operation o
: the tariff in 1916; and now, from the cir
. cumstance that he is likely to quiet tn
public mind by the proposition he sub
mitted to the Senate, all former coils
, ions and opinions Mr. Randolph eithe
bures, or more probably, covers with tn
mantle Of hypocrisy .-Dai. .adr.

Mr. Poinderier's Contempt. Itappears
from the Congressional Journal, that mr.
Poindexter, "A Senator from Mississippi,
one day last week, rose in his seat and
informed the Senate, that he had the
"most profound contempt for mr. Webs
ter. 1t was doubtless the object of mr.
Poindexter to draw mr. Webster into n
personal controversy, with view to di-
vert his invincible mind and talent from
the public concerns Of the nation, and
thereby prevent him from combating the
fanatical schemes of the nullifiers.
But mr. Webster was on his guard, and
treated the expression with mcrted con-
tempt. He has higher duty to dis
charge to his constituents and 70 the ma
ton, than to mingle in vulgar personal
ieuds For the manner in which he ac-
quits himself of that trust, he is entitled
to the gratitude of the nation. 1t is in
deed the universal admiration Of which
mr. WIS talents are the subject, that has
called down upon him the affected con-
tempt Of the Senator from Mississippi -
Boston Centinel.

lieved that 10, 900 men had deserted the
Turkish and joined the Egyptian Stand
ard; and it was the general opinion that
unless the Grand Sultan received assis-
tance in men and money from the Euro
pean governments, he would be obliged
TO WELD to the Pacha Of Egypt, and re-
tire into Asia.
The plague had ragged violently for a
bout three weeks, during which time a
bout 1900 persons had died. When
Capt. M. sailed, it had nearly subsded.
/ About 500 men had been employed
under mr. Ecklord at the Sultan's navy
yard. Mr. f. had raised the wages Of
the worlmcn from 10 to l6 cents per di-
en-, and his death caused deep sorrow a.
mong them.
/. MIR Eckford had completed the build
ing Of splendid cutter for the Sultan,
which outstripped all the Turkish vessels
in sailing. He had, at the time Of his
decease, on the stocks, a irigate and n
smaller vessel for the navy ofthe Sultan.
4 The splendid corvette in which mr
Eckford sailed, and which was built by
him in this city, in 1881, was sold to the
Sultan for the sum Of 9, 700 900 piastres
or about $4,000. This corvette was
the fastest ship in the fleet, and was able
to beat up the Daidanelles, while the
rest of the squadron were obliged to be
a, anchor. There were left of the a
merican workmen in the yard about IL
persons, who sailed hence with Captain
Mathews.
/, MIR Eckford's illness was an inhamma
ton of The brain, Of lortnight's continu
ance. Capt. Mathews visited him I'M
mediately on his arrival, at period o
six days after his attack. He was ther
supposed to he regaining his health, bn
next morning he became delirious, IL
which state he continued till his death
which was considered public calamit,
by all classes. The Sultan estimated
his character and talents so highly, tha
he frequently entered into familiar con
versation with him, condescenslo
which he extended to no other ioreigne
: in his domnions.-yN Y. Caz.

Extrac, OF Letter to the Editor OF the United

/ have never scarcely witnessed stron-
ger dissatisfaction in anv body Of men,
than there exists at this moment among
the eastern friends (and some of the west
ern) ofthe protective policy. Their Ian
.guage in private is precisely that used
by Mr. Burgess in his speech to-day
They consider their interests as barc ain
ed away, and sold to the south; and they
express the deepest modification that
they should have them sacrificed by their
own friends. They do not hesitate to
tell us, that they consider the passage Of
the tariff bill as the kneIl Of the Ameri-
can system; and they are so inveterate
in their denunciations Of those who have
inflicted the blow, that it is impossible tC
expect any other result than a wide anC
irreconcilable division between those
who have heretofore acted together, il
storm as well as in sunshine; in endcav
oring to build up that very system Il
which il is now said, the axe has beer
applied with destructive energy.
am told that there is much difference
OF opinion between the manufacturer,
themselves, IN reference To the wisdom
and the consequences Of this measure
rs there is between those who have beer
lcgislating on the subject. Some manu-
facturers, and we have many round US
say that the manufactures can succeed
and the proprietors can make money un

in that respect, benefciully differs iron

IMPORTANT PROCEEDINGS. II will be
seen by reference to the proceedings of
Congress, that the bill, commonly called
the Enforcing Law, which passed the
Senate 80 to | Z, has passed the House al
so by the extraordinary vote Of l49 to
48-morc than three to one, a majority
uncxampled perhaps upon any strongly
contested question. The bill for the mo-
dification ofthe Tariff, (says the Nation
al lnteligencer,) which is familiarly
known as nr. CLAWS bill, was again be-
fore the Senate on Friday, and was de-
bated at large by some Of the ablest
members Of that body. II was finally
passed by vote of % 10 lG. MI. Rob
bins spoke, and messrs Knight and Rob
bins both voted in opposition to this oil
The Iutelligcncer adds, that mr. Clay's
other important mcasurc-ihe bill for ds,
tribuing the proceeds of the Public
Lands, a measure equal at least in i'm
portance to the Tariff bill, was taken up
in the House on Friday with an appa-
rent determination to bring it to a dec-
sion before The adjournment, and, we are
happy TO add, with almost decisive ndi-
cations Of its success, The House bad
