tain conviction, have been harsh and
unfair to the prisoners. and highly det-
rlmental to the administration of ius-
tice.
That we feel yourselves called upon re-
spectfully to lay these facts before your
honorable House, and at once, with all
respect and with the utmost earnest
ness, to call upon you, as the represen-
tatiyes OF the People and the constitu-
tional guardians of their liberties, to
preserve the right of free discussion to
the inhabitants of this part ofthe en-
pire on political subjects, which is in
danger of being annihilated by pro-
ceedlngs such as this case has developed.
"Petitioners, therefore, pray your
honorable House TO take the subject
matter of this petition into your con-
sideration and in order to preserve the
constitutional rights of the People of
these countries to discuss political
subjects, and obtain by discussion
changes and alterations in the laws and
government Of the country that time
may render necessary; that your hon
orable House will please to define by
statute the law of conspiracy, and take
such measures in the premises as 10
your honorable House shall seem
meet.

THE RED RIVER FLOOD.

The damage done to our farmers aad
cotton planters the whole length of the
Arkansas river cannot be calculated.
Many are roofiess, more are cropless,
and they will be obliged to depend up
on the more favored farmers of Wash
ington, Benton and other counties for
sustenance, at least that portion of them
who do not leave the river in disgust,
and HE away to Texas. Corn, flour,
pork and beef will be much in demand,
not only on our river, but also upon
the Mississippi, which, it is said, has
been higher than at any other time
since its discovery by the Europeans.
Produce will undoubtedly bear high
prices, and our Northern farmers, if
they rightly improve This opportunity,
can alike profit themselves, and succor
the distressed farmers and planters upon
the Arkansas and other rivers.
The waters have abated. Aquatic
fun is over, and boats are no longer ply
ing, or in request, some of them lying
high and dry in the streets. The riv-
err commenced getting ont of the way
last Saturday, an event celebrated by
firing cannon, which could not long
contain its jog, and accordingly burst,
being careful, howeveE, to hurt nothing.
The land below town looks, for all the
world, as though some marring spiteful
devil had poured over the original
green Of nature 40 immense quantity
of Spanish Brown.
No one in town has been seriously
injured; though some buildings have
cracked open, others have settled two
or four inches, while all have been most
thoroughly muddied. The water wash,

corner Of the warehouse of Scott. White

judgment the unstabled and sandy
foundation npon which the whole town
is built.
Fort Smith has received very little
damage from the overflow, the banks
tumbled in considerably, but the river
lacked four or five feet of reaching the
top of the bank. Farmes are coated
with sand, riddled with gullies, and
temporarily-some entirely ruined.
Our Merchants have regained Their
wonted staRds, again thrown open Their
business doors, and trade sjust wlplns
the sand and mud out of its Argus
eyed face. i
The doctors predict an unusual. and
universal unhealthiness upon the river,
which will arise from the effluvia OF
purifying water. We trust their fore
feelings will not be very severely verF
fled, though it's idle to expect alto
gethtr TO avoid sickness season.
We most devoutly nope our troubles
from rains, high rivers, no mails, ana
muddy streets are at an end Tor one

THREE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE

A.
The favorite New-York steamship
Great Western arrived here on Sunday
morning last.
1t will be seen that the answer Of the
Queen to the Repeal Address affords
no ground to hope any thing for Ire
land from that quarter.
O'Connell continues to be visited in
prison by many of the leading men of
the country, and it is very evident that
the sympathies of the educated and bet
ter classes of Englishmen are stronger
in favor of Ireland than ever before.
Mr.. O'ConnelPs health continued good.
There is an injunction on the mon
ster steamer Great Britain.-This of
course will keep her in dock for some
time yet.
