shey fact that of Wall street, the recent deeds Of

g5-The Philadelphia iaqGirer Of Thursday
the 18Th, states that contracts for the exporta-
ton Of Flour and Grain to England, were being
carried into effect in that city. The crops in
England, at the time Of the sailing Of the last
packet, bore very uapromisiug appearance,
ow ing 10 The cold and wet. The w hea, harvest
had not commenced, but the indications wcsc
such that there could be but little doubt as 10
the amount Of Grain that would be gathered =
The news brought TO this country has had the
effect of causing sudden rise in Flour and all
kinds Of Grain. Whether the present high pri
ces will continue long Is uncertain; VIC think
they viii moi; ifthey do, taken in connexion
with the scarcity Of every description Of Grain,
save Wheat, the distress Of the poor will be uu
parallel However, there is no probability thai
large quantities Of brcadstufs will be exported
from this country to England. The crops on the
Continent are believed TO be very good. and If
England is compelled to import Grain, she will
buy at a market nearer home than the United
States.
Since The above was IN type ships have arri-
we'd in this country, stating that the crops in
Ena land were not as bad as had been represeu.
ted By previous arrivals-iha the Wheat, tho
not as promising as in some former seasons,
would turn out tolerable crop, and that other
crops, such as Corn, Potatoes, Barley, Sc, are
in good condition. On the Continent Of Europe,
| notwithstanding the accounts of scarcity that
have gone abroad, Wheat was selling in differ
en-, places at from 81 to 10 per cent. lower than
il was at London which fact itself contradics the
| previous accounts Of general shertness Of the
| Wheat in all the Wheat growing counties o,
| Europe. Al tho latest dates, and after Wheat
bad advanced TO what was considered very
| high price. il was selling for but a fraction over
| 50 per bushel.

A correspondent of the Louisville
Journal, writing from Louisiana, gives
the following account of an atiray that
lately took place IN Kinds County Mis-
sissippi:-
The Sheriff OF that County had a
process to serve on a man of the name
of Bright, and, in consequence Of some
difficulty and Incorporate language,
thought proper to commence the ser.
vice by the application of his cowskin
TO the defendant. Bright thereupon
hooroG his adversary, and Wrestling his
cowhide from him, applied it 20 its
owner to the extent Of at least five
hundred lashes, meanwhile threatening
to shoot the first bystander who at
tempted to interfere. The sheriff was
carried homo in a state OF insensiblity
and his life has since been despaired
Of. The Mayor of the place, however,
issued his warrant and started three of
the Sheriff's deputies in pursuit of the
delinquent, but the latter, after keep
ing them at bay till they found it i'm
possible to arrest him, surrendered him
self to the Magistrate, by whom he
was bound over to the next Circuit
Court. From the Mayors office, his
Honor and the parties ltigant procee-
ded TO the tavern to take q drink by
way of ending hostlities. But The
civil functionary refused to sign arti.
cles of peace by touching glasses with
Bright, whereupon the latter made
furious assault upon him, and then tur-
ned and flogged "mine host" within
an inch Of his life because he interfe-
red. Satisfied with his days work he
retired. Can we show any such speci.
mems of chivalry and refinement in
Kentucky?

IsptA. MOVEMENTS. - The Opelou-
eae U,ou.1 Gazette of the LIST inst. has
the following in relation TO anticipated
Indian movements near the Sabine. -
q We learn from gentlemen direct
from Fort Jessup, that much excitement
preyailed in that quarter, on account
OF intelligence that Indians TO large
number. we'll mounted, had left the
territory assigned them by our dovern-
uent. and advanced TO within fifteen
miles of Nacogdoches. The Texans
under Gen. Rush, were preparing. 10
encounter them. Con. Houston des.
patched a messenger who arrived at
Port Jessup, the day our informant ieii
with a request Of tho loan Of some held
pieces. Col. Many declined loaning
any national property. but despatched
Lieut.. Henry with a guard, to ascer-
tain the condition ofthings, and 1t was
expected that the Sd Regiment would
enter Texas on receiving his report.
"Ne are told that intelligence had
also reached Fort Jessup, that the Cad
dos had left the U. S. Territory with
out any avowed design" The editor
adds, that if the facts are as above sta.
ted land one Natchitoches paper OF an
earlier date would seem to confirm
them) we may expect another Indian
war, more formidable than any since
the time of Tecumseh.

A CHILD's AFFECTION FOR KIT
TEN.--Under our obituary head is re-
corded the death by drowning Of a
young child Of Mr.. Alexander Rice, re-
siding at Squam. The circumstances
under which this almost infant (being
only years Of age) lost its life, are
both singular and affecting. She had
followed a small boy to the river, wee
ping bitterly because he was about to
drown a kitten for which she had
formed strong attachment; and no
sooner was it thrown into the water
than the agonised child took off its
shoes, and raising its clothes walked
into the river with firm and determi-
ned step towards tho object of be- da-
ring and affection, but before reaching
it she suddenly sank into deep water,
and her gentle spirit returned to the
God who gave it. The tear will come,
to think there was none near to rescue
the little sufferer who SO toarlessly
periled and sacrificed her own life, TO
save that of a comparatively valueless
one, but upon which she had set her
young affections !-Gloucester Teie.

q. r;gh.a ami most important functions,
wh;c5 have bcen denied and assailed,
hv q corrupt and despotic Executive,
should bo exercised in behalf OF the
paonle. Il is time that there was
thorough scrutiny by Congress into ev-
erv branch Of the public service. The
country wants light. The People have
a right to know the state OF their al
fairs: whether they have been well or
badly managed. A well founded sus-
picion is abroad in the public mind,
that ncompetency, corruption and sell
fish ambition have elected capacity,
honesty and patriotism from nnost Of the
Executive departments. Let the truth
be known. Nine years is too long a
period for any class OF lunctlonaries 10
a Republic TO pursue any course theii
desires may prompt, without exposure
without responsibility, and without the
fear Of punishment. An annual inves-
tipation would not be TOO frequent to
preserve the integrity of the OH GER
and to protect the rights OF the People
This can be effected only by an OPP
position majority in the next House OF
Representatives which, unsedu-
ced by the brides and the blandisli-
ments, and unawed by the power Of the
Executive, shall speak truly the will oil
the great People determined to main
tain tho purity oftheir government and
their own freedom a majority, which,
respecting itself, and having due regard
to the rights ofl,s body, will elevate to
the chair a gentleman one who VIII
stand IN no need of certificates OF char
.c.e., who will not knowingly utter
falsehoo1s, and who will not prostitute
himself aud his Office to the worst pas
sions of an unprinciped Executive.
This glorious revolution can be ell
fected at tho approaching elections.
Tho signs warrant the belief that II
will be. We have no especial predl-
lection for majority, apart from the
good il can do. Generally minority
has as many charms for US as a ma
iority. But on this occasion we most
ardently desire to see Wing majority
in the next Congress, to make the ar.
rogant officials now IN authority feel
the power of the people. and to rip "
aud expose to the gaze and astonlsh-
ment Of mankind the ssupendous cor
ruptions Of the last nine years. II will
save the Republic--it will prove
blessing to the people of this day, and
for twenty generations to come.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT. MIR. Lew
is BurwelI, son of the late DIR. Lew
is Burwell, of Clarke county, was In
stantly killed on Wednesday last, by
being thrown from gig. The clrcum-
stances, we understand, were as fol-
lows: Mr.. Burwell accompanied by a
relative, was driving a spirited young
horse, which from some cause, be-
came alarmed and ran of, when Mr..
B. in endeavoring to jump from the
gig, was caught by the wheel and
thrown with such violence against the
ground that immediate death was the
consequencc-his companion escaped
uninjured.
The adage that mislortunes never
come singly," was never more truly
verified than in the case of the mother
ofthis unfortunate young gentlemen
1t was but three weeks ago that her
large and splendid residence near Mill
wood was destroyed by fire, with most
of its contents and now she has cause
to lament far more serious loss in the
the sudden and violent death ola belo-
we'd and promising son. May He who
tempers the wind to the shorn lamb be
with this lady amidst her allllctions.--

Col. -Vyse, who is carrying on exca-
vations at the Pyramids of Ghizoh on
a magnificent scale, has already been
rewarded for his labors as they best de-
serve. He has discovered no less than
three chambers over the kings cham.
Der in the Great Pyramid they are,
however, mere entresols to take off the
superintendent weight, and contain
nothing. One of these chambers is
remarkable as containing a curious
scroll of hieroglyphics. This curious
discovery establishes that the Pyramids
were not built anterior to the use of

builder, as stated by Manetho. Many
other highly interesting things are al
so brought to light, but cannot be emu
