REVIEW OF THE NEw-YoRK MARX
EFT, Saturday April 8.-FLoUR MEAL.
| The market continues excessively heavy,
and the course of prices downward; we
quote western canal SlO,75 Sill; New
York city from $50 $40; the best de-
scription Of southern, Sill; and the COM
mon kinds, 9,75 $40. At the present
viewed as nominal, the sales being Of so
trifing a nature, as to afford no test of the
actual state of the market. Rye -four
farther declined; selling at $3.50 for
corn meal also, our quotations are farther
reduced to $3.50 $4,75 for barrels
GRAIN.-A sale of l4OO bushels good
German white Wheat was made yester-
day at 8 ,G2I cash, with the exception Of

A VALUABLE SLAvE.-A very beauti-
ful girl belonging to the estate Of John
French, deceased gambler at New-Or-
leans, was sold few days since for the
round sum of $1,000 An ugly looking
bachelor named Couch, member of the
Council of one Of the Princi paIities, was
the purchaser. The Picayune says that
the girl is a brunette-remarkabIe for
her beauty and intelligence: and that
there was a considerable contention
who should be the purchaser She
, was however persuaded to accept Couch
he having made her prncely promises.
1t appears therefore, that the fair captive
herself had a voice in the decision as to
who should be her future master.
The above, from a New-York daily
paper shows how little feeling the horrid
incidents of slavery produce at the North.
This every beautiful girp' was in all
probability the daughter of John French,
who, dying intestate and insolvent, his
= own flesh and blood was sold, with more
: than ShyIock cruelty, to pay the forfeit!
e And sold, too, for open immortality! And
. yet we are terrified from the idea of do.
. ing away slavery, lest abolition should
: lead to anal gamation! What willing
asses men are ~ Y. Eran.
r WHAT HAS THE CHURCH TODD WITH
SLAvERY!-The Reverend Mr.. P
# formerly of Philadelphia, late of Match
es, now the Pastor of wealthy church
: in New Y ork, after having sold his plant
: alton for $4,000, with or without slaves
| know not sold also a MAN and his wife
e to his sister for 81, 900 each. This REV
EREND DIVINE made a much betteI
!, trade than his brother JUDAS, who solc
his master for only thirty pieces of silver
n Not on y So, but instead of being driver
by popular indignation or remorse of con
S science to elevate himself on galIows, a
he went through Pittsburgh, during tn
4 last year, he was elevated 10 the Pulpit O
# the lst and End Presbyterian churches
and passed off for a saint and preacher O
v the first order. Let in6dels scott, scep
n tics cry priestcraft, and christians sa,
hypocrite! What have the churches her
lie to do with Slavery !-Ptttsburgh Chri,

DEATH NOT FROM DRINKING RU'
u EATING TEA!-One of our late Londo
, papers tells story of young man, VIII
~ came to his death by eating tea He wa
, an assistant in tea store, and was in tn
IL habit of taking few leaves Of tea in hi
d mouth when weighing the article, b
, which means he imperceptibly introduce
H. so much into his stomach, that it becam
r an accumulation in the smaller intestine'
u He was for long period under medics
care, but his ailment could not be disco'
w. cred. On leaving for the sake of h
NC health, he was better, but on returning
his employment, he became again indl'
Vi posed, and suffered great pain, until inh'
nation produced death On post morte
~ inspection, the cause of death was disco
~ cred, to the astonishment of his medic
on attendants, which must prove a warnir
% to all tea eaters.
