 The only thing remarkable in the proceedings of this meeting IS iiseoces-wheh, heretofore, has escaped the observation of even the nominees themselves, as well as the most digeht investigation the part of ihe public. I allude to the declaration that the nomi nees for Governor and member of Congress possess ..tqes and sonad political principles'' of the highest order. The gentlemeii nominated for these disin- gushed offices have been citizens of this country for many years, and if either of them has betrayed even the most remote symptoms of the possession of talent, has cfanced not to reach my ears So far as my observation extends, they have yet to give the s proof of their boasted talents. It may be candid to suppose, however, that these gentlemen have hitherto boatntarily concealed their talents from the people intending perhaps to astonsh the world, when least expect it. Of their ''sound political principles" shall say nothing-for, my conscience. t IS all sander have very strong prediection for any party Give candidates for these offices who really possess rierit and taent-nen that point to with pride and pleasure--and they shall have my support.

ADVANTAGE OF A NEWSPAPER
We have this moment conversed with
one of our old merchants, who a short
time since received letter from bro
ther-in.law whom he had not before
seen for twenty.six years. The letter
solicited information in regard to a son
whom he had not seen for thirty years.
The gentleman to whom this letter
was addressed, is the uncle of the ab.
sent son. Like the father, he had not
heard of his nephew for about the same
period Of time. Strange as it may seem
the very next day after one brother-in
law had received a letter from his dis.
tant brother, another letter came from
the son, who lives in Indiana, soliciting
information in regard to his father
So much for the singularity of the co
incidence, and now for the manner in
which it was brought about. The son
who was wise enough 10 take a news.
paper, (and our own paper too, dear
reader) upon opening it one morning,
discovered his uncle's name among
the advertisements. Immediately The
uncle in New York transferred bis
brothers letter to his nephew, and bis
letter TO his brother, which
gave the two all necessary information
in regard to themselves, absence, &c.
This story is true to the letter, and
were it necessary, we could give the
names of the parties. The advantage
of taking a newspaper, and advertising
in newspaper is obviously shown

NEW YORK MARKET. April d.

FLouR-Since the river opened we have re-
ceived about 10000 barrels; this supply thrown
upon the market has depressed sales very con-
sideraby-sales of common brands at 81 a g.;
fancy brands however are scarce at IS: sales
OF Troy 60; Howard st. and Georgetown at
70; Philadelphia Z IL a 7 25.
GRArN-Rye is very dull; last sales at 81.
Wheat, but few sales; Amer. inferior at lO6c;
l6OO bus. Baltic at 147c. Corn has advanced;
sales of northern at l0Oc; Southern at 81 a 81;
very little left in the market.
PRovIsioNs--Beef and Pork are arriving
pretty freely and sales are making at decline;
Prime Pork at $40 and mess at % which is q
fall; Beef at 81 /. Lard I6 lie.
MoNEY-The pressure has not been quite
as severe this week; yet there is no essential
difference. The uncertainty that prevails as
10 the course Government will take respecting
the government deposites, which ON the first oil
March were thirty two millions, and which are
now forty millions of dollars, keeps every thing
uncertain. If Congress would decide to do no
thing even, il would be a relief as the public
would know what TO depend on. The pressure
has been greater in New York, no doubt, thar
any where else: This is owing To the peculiar
state of things. BY the fire she lost at lcas
twenty millions; the winding up of the U. s
I Bank has taken from her ten millions: Thu
with the difficulty of negotiating domestic bill
OF exchange, and other causes that might b,
