Speculation detrimental 10 The community al
largs-We have always raised our voice
against speculation Of any kind, free trade and
fair dealing is our chief aim and the protec-
ton Of our citizens, Of those who willingly
pay their taxes as citizens, against a set ot
floating shops who seem inclined to bully the
whole Of the community TO theirssway, i ouf
object. The present tax on hatboats remaining
here, Creeping retail shops Of every descrip-
ton, meeting fatboatS before they reach our
landing. and By Misrepresentation keep them
from giving our citizens a fair chance to pur-
chase, and even peddling with the negroes
from the opposite side Of the river, buying
their corn at low price and preventing cur
honest citizens from even that chance Of get
ting things ~rensonable,) is too low and Of no
benefit to us. Let them 60 out Of The bounds
Of the corporation II they please and establish
cheap STORES, but as long as our citizens pay
taxes Of adj kind to the corporation, we do not
see the justice Of The present law.
We wish to encourage the farmers from the
West ID come here. We are in favor Of al
lowing them two weeks stay at our landing
and unload their produce, which is as long as
those men care for staying in any place.
Those men belong to our country, they speak
our language, and we can make bargain
with them without the assistance Of d third
party. Corn, wheat, -four, 'rhistsy &c, are
not only sold at wholesale, but they are re-
tailed to the great detriment Of our shopkeep
ers. There are a good many stores 10 rent
and If any man wishes 70 enter 10 competition
with those established they will meet with 4
friendly welcome.

The St. Francisville Chronicle of the 10th

The st. FrancisviIle Chronicle of the Goth
!. instant, has the following:
Our quiet village was put in commotion on
Wednesday last by a report that a number OF
runaway negroes had assembled in a thicket
about three miles from town and bid defiance
to their pursuers. About IL O'Clock; Daniel
TurnbulI; Esq, came to town, armed, to soli-
cit some help, when about twenty of our citi-
zens, always ready for an emergency set
out Immediately for the place designated
but when they reached the spot the negroes
had fed-no traces could be had as TO their
Whereabouts, and all parties had to return as
they went. The evening following, Mr.. Turn
bull caught two of his own runaway negroes,
and Mr.. Fair eaughton me belonging to the state
Of Louisiana. Mr.. rs acknowledge all that
they have been charged with, but the boy be-
longing to the state says he had nothing to do
with the other run always.
Since the above was in type, a large mu-
latto man, armed with three pistols and a to-
mahawk, was shot by Mr.. Mayo Gray in the
neighborhood of James r. Dupree's pIanta-
tor. He lived but a few minutes after he
was shat, and all that could be elected from
him was that he belonged to Mr.. w. H. John

NEW ORLEANS RKE
Wednesday Morning. April "a. 1s44


With but few exceptions the market has
been quiet since our last, and has presented
but few changes worthy Of notice. Advices
from England to the 18th ult., were received
yesterday by way of the North, and we have
transferred TO our columns all the commercial
information which they contain. Cotton had
been in good demand for some days previous
to the departure of the packet, and the market
remained firm at the decline of lISd. prsvi-
ously noticed.
The weather continues pleasant and favor
able for outdoor business.
G0TTON-In our review of Safurday morn
ing last, we stated chat the Cotton Market had
exhibited great languor during the three DAYS
preceding, and that prices had been generally
ia favor Of buyers, more particularly on the
lower qualities. There was a moderate de-
mand on Saturday, and the sales amounted to
$500 bales, at former prices. On Monday the
sales reached 1900 bales, but The market was
fat and holders anxious to sell, whilst buyers
were not disposed to operate TO any extent.
Prices we're decidedly in favor of purchasers.
even on the better qualities. Yesterdays mail
brought accounts from Liverpool 10 the 18th
ult, representing thai market as being in the
same condition previously noticed, although
the demand had slightly improved. These ad-
vices had no effect here, and the sales, which
amounted to 1000 bales, were at somewhat
easier prices. The business ofthe past three
days comprises I0,500 bales, taken chiefly for
England and Spain. We have. made some
changes in our quotations.

DEvoT1oN,-We have often spoken on The
subject Of proper decorum being observed in
church, We have been ii the habit for q
long time of attending the NJ. E. Church in
this town, and have been frequently annoyed
by the conduct Of some young men running
continually up and down lhestairs, not care
fully and gentlemanly, but rather at a horse
pace. We would advise all those who are not
gentlemen enough to behave themselves Al
church 10 stay away, for had they any sense
at all they would at once perceive that their
conduct is suprem ely ridiculous.

MURDER About half past d O'Clock
Thursday morning, som Of the inmates of
the house No. 1853 Old Leyee street, between
Ursuline and Hospital streets, were alarmed
by blood running through the floor Of one of
The rooms on the 81 story, and falling on the
flor beneath. On going up stairs to learn
the cause, n woman who had come there the
preceding evening in company with a man
represented Al her husband, was found living
an the bed with her throat cut from ear to ear,
and the man was gone. The alarm was in.
stantly given, and instantly instituted for the
missing man, but without success. About
Ii o'clock, however, he returned, and, as we

when he was Immediately secured BY the
people Of the house, who sent for the police.

being cook and his wife slewardess ofthe
ship. They remained on board until We'd
nesday, when they went to the house, where
the murder was committed, and hired a room,
stating that they would sleep there that night.
They remained, and nothing more was heard
ofthern, until the discovery Of the r6urder

circulation respecting this dreadful affair, but
we forebear repeating them. When the in-
vestigation takes place before the Recorder,
we may learn further particulars.
