II We have received several num-
bers of the "Platte Eagle" a new paper
published in Platte City, edited by Allen
McLane Jr., which we have not as YET
had time to notice formally. We will
say however that it is neatly executed and
ably edited. 1t is a strong party print,
advocating the interests and claims Of the
Democratic party. We hope the good
sense and prudence of the editor, will
influence the Eagle in imitation of the
noble bird, whose name it bears, to soar.
in its eagle flight, above all selfish and
personal motives-aboye all that is low
and base.

why their papers have not been sent &c

tell us why it is that papers mailed at
this place, for Louisville, only about lC
miles distant, are not delivered to the
proper persons at that place, when call

NEW ORLEANS MARKET.

TOBACCO.--The quiet which pre-
vailed in the Tobacco market in the
first Of the week, has been succeeded
by I very active demand, tie sales
since our review of "Wednesday morn

This rather extensive business has

FLOUR.-The demand for Flour
since our review of last Wednesday
morning, has been more limited even,
than it was in the first OF the week,
there having baen scarcely any de-
mand for export, and the market has
in consequence been much depressed,
and with a downward tendency in
prices. Some sales of Superfne
have been made at 4 81 per Dbl. at
which rate it is now pretty freely OIL
fered, and, we have heard Of i few
transactions from the Levee as low

~BACON.-Since our review Of

effect has been 10 make holders still

can now be bought below II cents

made at 5 cents. Large lots of good.

The Medical REVOLUTIONS The pTogresr of me-
deal science in this city, has certainly been re-
markable within the past year. Instead Of one
small class of medical students, as in lormeryears,
there were IN attendance at our two colleges, five
orslx hundred young men, and at the close of the
term nearly one hundred graduates. And the or
ganizatlon OF third school, on still more liberal
and comprehensive basis, and in which much more
eihclen and extensive course of education will be
given, is talked Of Public attention is also more
generally and closely directed TO medical matters
and science begins TO be properly appreciated and
respected.
One OF the most curious features in this medical
movement is the establishment of the College of
Medicine and Pharmacy, by an association of phy-
scians and surgeons in this city, for the purpose Of
suppressing quackery and furnishing medical ad-
vice, and properly prepared medicines to the public
on economical terms. This is in the medical world
