MEMORANDA.


HF The schooner Essex, Underwood, for
whose safety fears have been entertained in
New York, arrived here several days ago, and
was duly reported by us at the time.
A letter received in town yesterday, from a
mercantile house, states that the brig Eliza
Shreve, of this port, has been totally lost, near
FIushing-crew saved. The E. was probably
on her passage from Antwerp, accounts of
her arrival at that port, from Boston, have been
received. She was owned by t. Bryant, Jr.
Insured at Boston for $12 000.-Esser Reg.
Schooner William Penn, from Philadelphia for
Laguira, was robbed ofS3, 500 in doubloons by
the crew, off Reedy Island, who made their es-
cape.
The brig United States, Brown, of this port
sailed hence for Havana on the 26th day of De-
cember last, struck on g Alden's Rock" about
three miles from Cape Elizabeth Light in con-
sequence of which knocked off rudder and
sprung a leak. The brig Oscar, Knight, which
sailed hence same day Matanzas, fell in with her
a few DAYS out, full of water, and took the Off
GERS and crew from her. The o. afterwards
spoke brig Moro, Thomas, hence for Havana,
(who also sailed same day. on the Banks, and
transferred the crew on board the NJ. Captain
Brown and mate arrived at Matanzas in the Os
car on the 18th utimo. Saved nothing from the

NEW YORK, MARKET. Feb. IS.


Flour-We do not vary our quotations Of
last week, the demand for all kinds us very
limited, and sales are confined almost exclusive
ly to city use.
Grain--All descriptions are very dull. Sales
ofNorthern Rye have been made at II "a ~ cts;
Jersey Yellow Corn, 60 a 65 500 bushels OF
Maryland, from store, brought &c cents, and
900 do North Carolina go cts. Sales of North
ern Oats have been made at SO 80 cts which
is a reduction.
Domestic Exchange Bills upon the South
ern ports--New Orleans, Mobile, &c. have been
regulated with more ease than last week-the
banks having taken this description of drafts
with greater freedom. From various causes,
the negotiations of Southern bills through the
brokers' has in a measure ceased for the pre-
sent. Inland bills can scarcely be negotiated
at all.
Foreign Erchange.-The advance of Cotton
both in England and France, and the improve
ment though but trif1ing, Of American stocks in
England, has given more conidenc to the hold
ers of English Exchange. Bills upon London
have been sold at par for cash. There has been
greater demand for bills on Holland and
France. The latter have sold for ST. 81 l-2 on
time Of IS for cash.
PostScript.--Things look much brighter and
more cheerful in Wall street, to-day. At the
Board of the Stock Exchange there was great
er animation than for MANY days past

100 DOLLARS REWARD.

ON Tuesday morning, between Fredericks-
" burg and my plantation, in the upper end
of Stafford, NEGRO MAN, and the MARE
on which he was riding both belonging to me,
were stolen by man who seems to have been
stranger in this part of the country. When
seen in possession of the Slave and ofthe Mare,
he was inquiring his way to Stafford Court
House. He is described to me as a person be-
tween fifty and sixty years Of age, with re
markably white hair; his stature stout and we'll
set. He wore brownish coiored stuff cloak.
The negro is between twenty-five and thirty
years Of age as well as is remembered; stout IN
his person, and about five feet ten or eleven IN
ches high; has drawing manner of talking,
and appears to be much less sagacious than he
really is. His name is Jack. His dress was
blue cloth cap grey great coat, and his under
| clothing drab cloth
The Mare is a fine large sorrel without any
spot of white about her, unless perhaps there
NAV be some few white hairs in the centre OF
the forehead, not covering more than the size OF
ur-pence-hafpenny She is, as well as is
recoected, going on seven years ofage; is re-
markedly long in her body; has a long tail, and
it is remarkable where it joins the rump. There
may be dscerned in the film ofone of her eyes
an incision which was made year or two ago
to cure the hooks.
One Hundred Dollars Reward will be given for
therecovery of the above Slave and Mare, OF in
the proportion offour and two for the recovery OF
either JNO. TAYLOE LOMAX

IMPROVED THRESHING MACHINE.


ON the 2Ist of February, 1884, the subscribers
" will exhibit at Fairfax Court House mo-
del OF their Improved Threshing Machine, the
model of which is now in the Patent Office; and
having paid thirty dollars into the Treasury &C
cording to law, letters patent will be issued in
two or three weeks. Their object in exhibiting
to the public their model u.s. first, to make con
tracts to build machines; and, secondly, to sell
patent rights to those who may wish to purchase.
The subscribers built and sold, the least season,
nearly four thousand dollars worth; and those
who purchased them have represented them to
be superior to any heretofore introduced. Four
horses to our machine, the past season, have
threshed largely upwards of Two Hundred
Bushels per day, where there was not more
than half crop of grain in the straw;-and
such is the ease with which they are propel-
led, that the same team will propel them many
successive days without changing them. Two
horses will propel the machine with sufficient
ease to thresh 140 bushels per day. The thresh~
ing part of this machine is denominated Me-
tallic Threshing Box; and such is its construc-
ton, that it is by no means liable to be injured
by an accident which would destroy any other
machine.
We could fill column with certificates, but
as we shall exhibit model of the whole ma
chine, which the subscribers presume will de-
monstrate its utility to the satisfaction of the
public, We deem it unnecessary.
