The commercial news is bad. The Bank
ot England holds the rate of interest at 5 per
cent The cotton market has declined half
nennv. and is dull upon the decline. Ameri.
can securities are hardly looked at.
The Manchester spinners have combined to
work short hours, and to buy as little cotton
as possible. Their power is prevailing. The
Bank of England had not been able to turn the
exchanges in it's favor, and was moving with
extreme caution. see nothing cheering IN
the news for our commercial men, and bad
news could not have arrived at worse time.
The Bank of Engla d, it appears by its returns,

STRAWBERRIES.

The following extract of letter from
Newton, Mass. is worth recording. Alter
referring to the Jersey story Of $40 dollars
worth Of straw berries being raised from one
acre Of ground, he says: To recall our
friend E. to regions he was once familiar
with, we will state their productions in one
particular, that New England nay not BE-
forgotten. On patch of l 800 square feet,
being less than one tacenty fourth of an acre,
a neighbors Of ours raised the last season
12O quarts Of strawberries, which at 25
cents the quart, the Boston price, would
have produced 80 dollars, equal to 72O dol.
lars per acre! Twenty six quarts were
taken at one picking, SO large and fine that
they would have sold quickly at fifty cents
per quart, many of them measuring three
and a halfto five inches in circumference,
ead one reached five and half incles."

TIE CH1NcH Rue.-We understand thas large
numbers of this destructive insect have appear.
ed in some cornields in our neighborhood, and
have done much injury TO late corn. In some
places a few were seen last year; there they
are now much more numerous. Should they
continue to increase in number, and spread as
there is cause to apprehend, they may utterly
DESTROY entire crops of corn, oats, and wheat,
over an indefinite extent of country, and for
succession of years; it is therefore OF immense
importance t. discover some means of prevent.
ing their ravages. What would be the effect OF
applying to the corn preparations from suOstan.
ces known to be offensive to most insects, such
rs sulphur, elder (Sambucus nigra,) China or
Pride cf India tree (Mslia Aseterach,) Jimson or
Jamestown weed (Datura stramaniun,) or to-
bacco' Any ofthese could be easily obtained
in this neighborhood in sufficient quantity to
make the experiment, by those who have the
bug.
The application Of the sulphur would be
somewhat costly; but if it should save the crop OF
corn and fodder, this would be more than com.
psnsation for the labor and expense. I he subma-
ted sulphur, commonly called flowers Of sulphur
is the only form in which it is sufficiently fine.
The best mode Of applying it would perhaps be
to mix small quantity with water, and keep it
constantly shaken or stirred whilst using. to pre-
vent its settliag. A decoction from the leaves OF
the trees and weeds mentioned might be sprink.
led on the corn with some such instrument as
watering pot. The labor would be less than
that of a single plowing; and all tho articles
named might be raised at little cost except the
tobacco. We should be glad to see experiments
made with each of them, Immediately. and the
result publis. ed that, if any of them should
prove successful, steps might be taken oy the
planters to have a supply of the preventive
AGENT next season. Who can tell but elder
berries, china berries, jimson seed or tobacco
seed may be in as great demand next spring as
morus multicaulis buds.
To the tobacco and jimson weed it might be
an objection that any part Of the juice remaining
on the fodder would render it offensive to cattle
and horses.

cuRE FOR A SNAYE-BITE.

An occurrence happened one day last week
q few miles from this place that ought to be
generally krown.
John Pressnall, Jnr. a farmer on Little River
in this County, was severely bitten by Pilot
Snake in his harvest field. After striking The
snake with his sythe and cutting it in two,
he made his way to his house as speedily as
possible, and sent off to near neighbor for
some brandy, having heard that it was good
for a snake bite and there was no physician
nearer than ASHORE. Not knowing what to
do and being in great pain, the sufferer casu-
ally laid hold of bottle of camphor-about
half full ,camphorated spirits-probably bran.
dy,) and placing the mouth OF the bottle TO
the wound, (the ancle we believe,) he felt par
tial relief instantly. All present thought they
could plainly see the POISONOUS fluid escaping
from the wound into the bottle. BY continuing
this process an hour or TWO, he become en-.
tirely relieved, and went back to his work
again without further inconvenience. The
above facts were related to us by Mr.. Micheal
Luther, a neighbor of MIR. Pressnall, and a
man of undoubted veracty.
The above we take from the Southern
Citizen, published in Ashboro, N. c. The
escape of the poisonous fluid from the wound
into the bottle existed only in the imagination
Of the bystanders. A knowledge Of the m,odus
opsranh ofthe remedy, however, is OF but little
importance compared with knowledge Of its
effect.
Wehave repeatedly stated and again repeat
that aqua anmonie is certain remedy for the
bite of snake, as we know both from our
own experience and that of others. 1t may
be obtained at the apothecaries' stores, but
should be used fresh, and out of bottles which
have not often been opened. The dose
for an adult is teaspoonful, in little water,
to be repeated every hour in cases not very
urgent. In urgent cases it may be repeated
every fifteen minutes. il commonly, we
think we might say invariably, affords perfect
relief in from two to four hours. A cloth wet
wi the undluted fluid should be applied
to the wound.
From the speedy reliefwhich we have seen
the chloride Of lime afford when applied after
ths sting of insects, we should be disposed to

undersigned is also desired to inform the I'M
perial Cabinet that similar declaration has
been delivered to the Ottoman Porte by His
Maiesty's Ambassador at Constantinople.
I. DE LAGRENE.
REPLY TO THE RUSSIAN MINISTER OF FOR
EIaN AFFAIRS.
The undersigned has received the note oy
which NJ. /. de Lagrene, Charge de Affairs OF
his majesty the King of the French, has COM
municated the deep regret which the conclu-
sion of the treaty Of the 9th of July between
Russia and the Porte has caused the French
Government, without stating at the same time
either the motives of that regret or the nature
of the objections to which that treaty may give
rise. The undersigned cannot be acquainted
with the m-still less can he understand them.
The treaty ofthe 9th ofJuly is purely defen.
sive; it has been concluded between two in
dependent powers, exercising the plenitude OF
their rights, and 1t does no prejudice to the
interests of any state whatever.
What could, therefore; be the objections
which other Powers might deem themselves
justified in raising against such a transaction I!
How, above all, could they declare that they
consider it of no validity, unless they have in
view the subversion of an empire which the
treaty is destined to preserve? But such can.
not be the design of the French Government.
1t would be at open variance with all the de-
clarations it made in the last complications
in the East. The undersigned must, there
fore, suppose that the opinion expressed in M.
de- Lagrene's note rests upon incorrect data,
and that, better informed BY the communica-
ton of the treaty which the Porte has recently
made known to the French Ambassador at
Constantinople, his Government will better
appreciate the value and usefulness OF trans.
action concluded in spirit as pacific as con.
servative.
That act changes. indeed, the nature of the
re- e'ations between Russia and the Porte for,
to a long enmity, it makes relations of intima-
cy and confidence succeed, wherein the
Turkish Government will henceforth find
guarantee of stability, aud, if need be, means
Of defence calculated to insure its preserva.
ton.
It is in this conviction, and guided by the
pures, and most disinterested intentions, that
His Majesty the Emp ror is resolved on faith
fully fulfilling should the occasion present it.
self, the obligations which the treaty OF the
sth of July imposes upon him, acting thus as
if the declaration continued in NJ. de Lagrene's
note did not exist. -

A case has been tried in Hamilton county,
Ohio, in which the right of newly married cou.

vindicated. 1t appears that Mr.. Williams had
taken to himself wife, and had taken up his

the suit, with number Of boys, serenaded the

under their windows, thereby greatly terrifying
them, and breaking sundry paues of glass. The
