notice of the vessels composing the Explor-

board, which were on the old vessel at the
time OF her capture. She il strongly built,
and is said, to be, III all respects, a beauti-
ful ship, though her appearance is some
what marred by the poop cabin, erected in
consequence of the space required for the
accommodation of the Scientific Corps.
The apartments on the gun deck, to be oc-
cupied by the Savans, are most comforta-
bic, aud are fitted up in a style of great
neatness, as are indeed all parts of the ship,
though there is less gaudy ornament than

alarming Flour Combination.-The
Buffalo Journal of the lst says, there is
every reason to believe that notwithstand-
ing the immense yield of the grain crops
this season, the manufacturers and dealers
are busly at work to forestalI and buy up
the market. The extent of ramiication of
this secret combination is incredible, and
their resources ample. The above paper
says
We could name, we believe, a single
bank tor instance eastward of us, which.
within few days has engaged to make dis
counts to the amount of at least $40. 900
to three individuals, for the purchase of
wheat-and the agents of which individuals
have already passed through this city and
gone west to purchase wheat of the new
crop. We could also name an association
OF individuals IN another part of our State,
who already own one bank in Michigan
and another IN the valley oft Scioto, Ohio.
If not indeed other banks, whose agents are
IN the field making purchases, to say moth
ing OF the dozens of other large milling
establishments who have their agents scat
tered in all directions, and whose means,
obtained from large number of banks,
which are completely at their control, are
Of the most ample kind. And further, we
think we could designate from seven to ten
banking institution in this state, which are
the mere creatures of these monopolists,
and three fourths Of whose discounts are
either directly or indirectly made to these
men, and whose demands they dare not at
my time gainsay.

ACCOUNT cURRENT.-The recent elections
OF members of the new congress have re-
suited as follows:
In Naine-Owing to divisions among
the republicans in the Hancock und WASH
ington district, the federal wings, upon the
9th trial, succeeded in electing their candi-
date (Noyes.) Here the wings regained
what they had previously lost in the Lincoln
district, represented in the last eoncres, by
). Bailey-now superseded by republican.
The delegation from Maine, therefore
stands as before-sir democrats to tpo fed
eral members.
In Pennsylvania, the election of Naylor
(fed.) over Ingersoll, was a clear opposition
gain until the result
In Maryland, and the elect On of Mr..
Worthington (democra) in the Sd district,
n place Of Turner (whig,) balanced the ac-
count.

We heard an observation The other dsv
from gentlemen of pretty sound heads and
honest hearts, that we have felt it our Jutv
to chronicle, for the special benefit of all
concerned. Coming too, from those form
erly ranking high in the whig party, and
who are now wings in sentiment, we
thought that the party might derive some
advantage from the suggestions of their own
men, though they are now suffering tenn.
porary abuse for their alIcdged deser,ion of
wing principles. However, whg as they no
doubt are, we respect them no less for their
Independence and honesty; they join in no
personal abuse, nor will they submit to the
dIctn'lon of such as aspire to bs par,izan
leaders; and they are possessed of more
political tact and sagacity, than their own
party ever gave them credit for. We shall
therefore endeavour to profit by their suo-
gest'on, though the wings should become
ten times more infatuated than they now
nre. The observation was this. Tbo, il
was impolItic for the administration partv i,
tins state to say much against the wings. or
to oppose them very strenuously; for the
wings, possessing within themselves the el.
ements of their own destruction, g. having no
opposing forces in the field, would long be-
fore this, have had such a set-to amono
themselves, that no more could now be
found OF them, than OF the Kilkenny CATS
mere grease spot perhaps, and tail or
'wo' This is an honest concession. but no
less true. The wings have no common
principle to unite them: nor can .hey ayrce
Oh the measures to be adopted in the pres

true state Of the case, and so manv amonc
