The Monopoly of Weighing, &>e.

The proceedings Of the Merchants Meeting at
the Exchange appeared in cur columns less con-
spicuously than they would have done had our
attention been drawn to them. They speak the
words Of truth and soberness, and their purport
must be approved by every man not cursed with
the passion for office. We believe nine-tcnths of
both Political parties emphaticaly condemn and
loathc the restoration by our present Common
Council of the monopoly Of Weighing, Measur-
ing, &c. to small band Of party iavor,tes. The
non .oicc-hodng portion of our opponents con-
denim it even more vehementlv than the Wings,
because il conflicts most glarlngly with their
cherished axioms that Trade will regulate ITSELF
The world is governed too much, &c &c. We
understand that the speakers of that party were
the reverse of meay -mouthed on the subject IN
their speeches at the Exchange. This exploded
monopoly cannot be sustained in the year lo43

members OF the last Congress
The Loco Focos will carry the First District
of course, and many Others they can fool a
thousand Wings in each to vote against their own
party. There seems to be danger of this IN the
Fifth, Seventh and Tenth Districts.
GEoRG1,-Thc Wings of this State, at their
recent Convention, selected the following Dele
gates to the Wing National Convention:
Hon John NJ. Berren, Hon. Thomas Butler King,
William c. Dawson, Roger l. Gamble,
Lo, Warren. q Charles Dougherty
Il. a. Toombs, a II. kenan,
j. S Calhoun 4. 4. Wright,
and instructed them to vote for HENRY CLAY as
the Whig candidate for next President
LATEST FROM CuaA.-By the brig Warsaw,
korpman, we have news from Matanzas to the
18th INST We are informed by gentleman
long resident al Cuba, that there has been no
insnrrectlon whatever, either in the ncighborhood
OF Matanzas or any of the towns in Caba. Every
thing has been perfectly quiet since the nsurrcc-
tion In April.
The yellow fever has not made its appearance
yet at Matanzas or Havana, the health of both
places being uucommonly good for the season.
o The True Sun publishes our nara
tive of the late difficulty on the Coast
of Africa without the slightest ,ntimation of the
source whence 1t was derived. This is trick
It's Editors must have learned from the old Sun,
and one they would do well to repudiate as soon
as possible.
e. Abuse Of Croton Water-Fi!thness of the
Streets, are the subjects OF lot of communica-
tons which reach us The streets cannot De kept
wholesome while every body throws vegetable Of
fal and all sorts of garbage into then-that : a
solemn fact. Can it not be improved
Break IN THE C,NAL.-We learn from the AL
bany Atlas that there has been break in the
Canal at Frankfort, occasioned BY the giving way
OF the lock at that place. ll6 boats were de-
tanned "a hours, but o2i ing 10 the we-,imed ex-
ertionS of the Commissioner il has been repaired.
C. A correspondent Of the Aurora writes from
| Washington that the President, on Sunday. was
forced to leave church by faintness; though he
adds that his indieposition proved to be but tenn
porary.
