The advices respecting the harvest IL
England are not so unfArorable as was
anticipated, the corn being for the most
part well housed and ii,~om danger:
there will, it is said, be deficiency OF a.

average crop. The general state Of trade
in the manufacturing districts has slightly
improved.

FRANcG.-The most important news
from Paris is thai respecting an attempt 10
assassinaie one Of the Royal FamiIy on the
18th nit. The french papers are cccupi-
ed with little else Of interest. 1t appears
that the Dude d'Aumaie, who had march.
cd with the 17lh Light Infantry through
France from Marselles, had just arrived
in Paris, and while proceeding at the head
Of his regiment, togethe. with his three
brothers, the Duke Of Orleans, Nemours,
and Montpe Ter, an assassin named Pap
pard discharged pistol shot at him; but
fortunately the Nho, did not take effect.
Pappard was instantly arrested. The
greatest excitement prevailed in Paris.
Groups Of loose characters paraded the
streets, uttering sedit!ous crles-''a has
Louis Philippe-a bas Guizot-we must
have blood" were heard. The mobs
were dispersed without riot taking place.
The Census had caused very dlsagreca.
ole events in the south of France. where

people fired on the military at CIeremont
in Auvergne, killing and woundmg sever

ELECTION RETURNS.

We give below the Election returns as
far as received; they are sufficient to en-
sure the election Of Mr.. Thomas. Our
defeat in this county is owing, principal
ly, to the apathy Of the party. There
were not so many votes polled this year
as last by nearly BOG, and the most of
those who staid at home were wings.
Some Of The districts did their duty no.
bly,, others behaved very meanly-none
did worse than we did here at Elkton, the
reason Of which could be satisfactorily
given, we presume, by those wings (n!)
who voted for that Loco foco, who has
backguarded and abused them and their
party, more than any other man-those
who, lest they should injure his interest,
did nothing to advance that of their party.

THE CROGAN CASE,-The citizens

THE CROGAN CASE,-The citizens
Of St. Adams, VI, held meeting in refer
ence to the abduction of Col. Grogan. A
number of atliidayits have been taken in
the meantime, going to confirm the first
account Of his capture. These papers
have been forwarded TO y Washington and
to the Governor of Vermont, with a
view OF having demand for redress
made.
There are some important particulars
furnished in TIL aliidavits. The house
where Groban was seized is about three
miles from The boundary line. ltappears
that several persons from Canada had
come across HE line Glriug the dav and
congregaLed at d tavern at Alburg. One of
them, BRUSH draguun. urged Grogan to
drink with him several times, and was so
very attentive 10 him that suspicious were
excited, i'll Consequence Of which Grogan
went to Browns, u brother-ln-law of his,
to sleep. Here he was attacked in the
night by 4 party Of fifteen in the British
uniform under Sergeant Read, who be-
longs 10 Capt. jones company of light
dragons in her Alajesly's service.
Mr.. Brown spra . from the bed on
perceElng The lnIruuers, and was met at
the door OF his sleeping room by ruilian
who presented his gun and bayonel, and
ordered him 10 remain quiet. Mr.. Brown
called aloud To MS son who was sleeping
above, and was threatened by the soldier
that he would cerlalul be shot unless
he de,lsled speaking. The remainder of
this gang rushed into the adjoining room,
where Colonel Gsugan was sleeping, cried
out as they entered, "iiere he Isl here he
II Shoot hlm-5low Ills brains out!''-
They seized him and dragged him from
ms bed, and carried him by force through
the house, and conveyed nlm to the road,
where there were vehicles in readiness
10 take him across the line. Mr.. Brown
testlies that he was apparently strangled
so that he could neither speak or make
even a show OF resistance.
1t appears from another affidavit that
the son OF Mr., VIM. Brown came down
at his fathers call as soon as he could put
on his clothes, aud was met by one of the
British dragoons-an Irisnman, a, he
thought-who cooked his gun and order
ed him to return, or he would shoot
him.
From another affidavit, it appears that
a gentleman gong to Mississippi Bay over
took wagon, in which was James w.
Grogah, four armed soldiers and a driver,
and four mounted Dragons riding and
keeping guard by the wagon. Upon their
arrival at the Bay, Grogon remained in
the wagon surrounded by a strong guard
in front of the guard house, and from
themes was taken TO Montreal. Grogan
appeared badly wounded and bruised
his face was very much disigured, and
ii was with great difficulty he could walk
or step. 1t was reported at Missisquoi
Bay, that on The evening previous to the
transaction above detailed, Capt. Jones
had been heard to say that he had des-
patched squad Of men after Col. Grogan.
and that Grogan would, without fail, be
taken that night.

CUBA AND GREAT BRITAIN. Impor.
tant if True The Editor ofthe St Louis
Republican has been favored with letter
from Cuba, which contains some very I'M
portant rumors. The writer says that a
''negotiation is pending, and is likely 10
he consulhmated between the British and
Spanish governments for the purchase, by
the former, of the Island of Cuba. 1t is
stated that Great Britain has offered two
million pounds for the Island, and agreed
to pay for the freedom Of all the slaves
born or imported prior to the year 1920,
the rest to be free without purchase. The
writer expresses the conviction that this
negotiation will be consummated by rea-
son of the want Of money on the part OF
the Spanish Government, and her inability
to hold the Island in case of revolt. TO
prove that he is no. single in this belief,
he states the fact to be, that the slave ira
ders and importers so confidently expect
the negotiation to ne successful. that not
u single slave has been imported for more
than six months past"
The above, says the Philadelphia In
quircr, seems 10 us rather improbable
And yet in connection with other moves
ments, with the fact that Spain is much
crippled for funds, aud that Great Britain
has declared through her ministers, that
she will appoint no officers to her colo
MES but abolitionists, it cannot be regard
ca as BY any means impossible BALI

The Cicero Of the american Senate
When, in the South civil war
Rose like storm of night;
And carnage leap'd into her car,
TO seek the field of fight;
When sons oi these illustrious sires
Who bled at Bunker Hill;
Rush'd forth to light their battle fires,
A brother's blood to spill;
When from tie vault Of vernon, first,
A cry was heard aloud;
And the word Peace, in thunder burst
From many bloody shroud;
When swords leaped 10 the hero's hand
And glitter'd in our gaze;
And terror reign'd throughout the land,
As in those by-gone days;
The Solen of the Senate stood
Alone. and undismay'd;
And for his much-lov'd country's good,
The flag of peace displayed;
High in the Forum, ard atar,
His mighty mind he cast;
Calhoun fell from the crimson car,--
The storm Of war was past
Unearthly eloquence then broke
Upon the listner's ear;
The Senate shouted, as he spoke,
And wondering, lean'd to hear;
Trembling, they saw that hope was nigh
And haIl'd the happy day;
The thunders, in the Southern sky,
Roll'd peacefully away.
The wise man o. the West arose,
And, with a Tully's tongue,
Silenced the voice OF freedoms foes
A rainbow round them hung;
A mighty nation saw the deed
The flag Of peace uniurl'd;
Europe behe.d, and gave the need
OF an adulrng world
Her pen of gold the hand of Fame
From her high temple took;
And wrote his never-dylng name
In Times eternal book:
With all the Fathers of the free,
He shall in glory rest;
BY millions yet unborn, shall be
Through future ages blest
N o marble monument he needs
To crumble and decay,
The mem'ry Of his mighty deeds
Can never pass away;
Within q natlon7s heart enshrinpd
Sarcophagus sublime
His glorious monument, ofmind,
Knows not the touch of Time.

THE New TARIFF IN New York.
The Express says:-"The articles upon
which the new duties have been laid hay
ing already risen in the market, it advance
OF the first of October, the consumer does
not feel the progress of the rise but what
comes in free now is, therefore, profit
to the importer. Nor will the revenue
derive any immediate benefits from the
new levy Of duties, as the importers have
anticipated the time in their importations.
This fact, accounts, in great degree, for
the great imI ortations we have been hav-
ing since movements were first made in
Congress for new revenue bill The
amount of bonds taken this year at the
New York custom House is nearly &c.
100000, while during the last year it was
only about $s4,500,000. This fact also
accounts for the somewhat large ship
ments of specie that have been made TO
Europe, it being to pay for these very
goods, imported in advance of what would
have been otherwise the proper time"

Ye are come, ye are come with your blooming flowers,
And virgins wreaths Of scented May;
Yc have come to deck the festal bowers,
And to twine the bridal wreath to-day;
Ye come, ye are come, with joy elate,-
Gentle and kind ones, ye come too late.
Ye have come with the early blush of dawn,
Clad in your bridal white array;
We have plucked from the dropping Dough at morn
The orange blossoms gancing spray;
The dews gittering each bright flower,
But, gentle friends, It's not the hour.
Ye are come, ye are come, your joyous way
To dance in the bridal feast to- night.
To blend your sweet voices in choral lay
To the brides footsteps with blossoms oflght
] welcome ye friends, with your smiling train,
But, alas! ye are come,-ye are coms,-in vain.
Ye have come, yc have come, my friends, too late,
For the funeral vault is opened wide,
The plumed hearse waits before the gate,
And the mourners hand have decked the bride
In her satin robes loves evergreen,
And the deadly nightshade's buds between.
With fearless eye mourner stands,
But thick and heavy comes his breath,
That golden ring in his dropping hand,
He hath let it fall on the couch Of death
Hank! sound ye hear, It's no bridal bell,
But the last duh stroke of the maiden's knel
