PROPERTY EXEMPT FROM EXECUTIONS
The Legislature of Alabama has Cor wears
past been adding 10 the list Of articles ex-
tsmp' nom execution. Every family in The
State is now allowed for It's use. free from,
sale Tor debt, the following articles: two
beds and furniture, two cows and calves. .
two spinning wheels, two axes. two hoes.
800 pounds Of meat, 100 bushels of corn.
all The meat that may at any time be on
hand- two ploughs, one table, one poi, one
oven, two water vessels, two pair cotton
cards, all books, one chum, three chairs,
one work horse, or mule. or pair of work
oxen, one horse or OK cart, one gun, all
tools or implements of trade. twenty head
OF hogs, 1000 pounds of fodder, one loom.
and mans saddle and lady's saddle. Ans,
on all debts contracted since February '43.
40 acres Of land, to be used for the pr =
poses OF cultivation, and not to exceed
$500 in value, are also exempt from exc
cution. In addition 10 this, the last Le-
glslaiure exempted the following articles,
on debts contracted subsequent TO Janu-
airy, 45:--l dozen cups and saucers. l set
Of knives and forks, ? dozen plates, l col.
fec pot, 2 dishes, 8 cows and caiues. *'and
20 head Of sheep; also all family ortraits.
and two sets of plough gear. These ar
tiles are allowed 10 " every famiIy,"-,he
man without family is allowed nothing.
No property is exempt from execution for
taxes. GresnsborOugh (Aiabqma) Bacon.
From the reading of the last Statute on this
subject, it would seem that cows and calves arc
now allowed. though We doubt II such WINS the
intention of the legislature.

JACK FLYBLoCK. No. a.

We give another communication from our in
telligent correspondent, in which he bears rather
severely upon the Naval Bureaux. But being
himself distinguished Naval Officer, high in
command, and placed in position where what he
writes about has come under his own observation
we feel warranted in giving his articles complete
The present occupation of the Naval Bureaux
at Washington. is great offence to the people OF
the country, and we wonder that brave and pat
riotic officers should condescend to leave their
high and honorable positions. TO occupy places
that ought to be filled by civilians, thus laying
themselves liable to censure, and open TO the
charge of meddling with the political government
of the country. The fact that the law creating
those Bureaux has been virtually violated, is
the cause Of offence and the innocent Heads are
the marks at which the shafts of public indigna-
ton will be hurled. Jack FlyJlock but gives
voice 10 the public feelings on this subject, and
being. as we said beore, distinguished Naval
Officer himself, we trust that his voice will be
needed We could wish that those officers who
now hold the Heads of Bureaux. to the exclusion
of those contemplated by the law which created
them, would voluntarily resign, and thus leave
the matter with the Executive, and enable him
TO comply with its acquisitions.

From the South Caro- linian.
THE NEW MINISTER TO ENGJAND

The appointment of Louis M'Lane TO this i'm
portant mission has been received with considera
BILE contrariety of opinion by the presses through
out the Union. Most of the Southern papers are
pleased with the appointment, while the Morning
News and the Evening Post-leading Democratic
papers OF the CITY OF New York, express surprise,
disappointment and regret.
The principal objection to Mr.. MI.ane seems
to be that he a u. S. Bank man, and quarrel
led with Zen. jackson about the removal of the
Deposites-that he voted for Gen Harrison i'm
lo4O, and is. as is charged by the NJ Y Evening
Post, opposed TO Free Trade In South Carolina
The part ne took as the confidential adviser of Gen
jackson in the days of Notification, may render
him objectionable to many. We are, however,
disposed to agree with the Mercury that it is time
those old causes of quarrel (when they affect NJ,
principle OF practical bearng) should be suffered
10 suosde and be forgotten. or at least shonld not
alone constitute an lnsurmOuniabe ohieCl.on to
one In every othe respect qualified for an appoint
ment. MIR. hlcIIane is Southern man, and is
with US heart and soul upon the great question of
the day, the abolition question and we have no
DOUBT IL was IN reference to his opinions and no
sItlon on this subject. that he was selected by Mr.
Polk. 1t was well known that none other than

De called TO this important mission, and the cavI-
lngs Ot the Northern presses would probably have
been as great had the appointment been accepted
either by Col Gilmore of Mr. Pickens. None
other than an adherent of Mr.. Van Buren, would
have satisfied them, and we strongly suspect that
their objections lie not so much against Mr.. Nc
Lane, or his opinions, as against the indication
which has thus been given by Mr. Polk that he
does not intend to favor the restoration of the Van
Buren, dynasty, or TO further the prospects of any
asprant for the Presidential Chair We are not
sufficiently acquainted with Mr.. McI's political
history, either to condemn or approve, in unquali-
ned terms, OF his appointment, but this we will
say, that we must hear some more serious objection
urged against him than his opposition to Mr.. VAN
Buren,, TO cause 10 find fault with the seIec-
ton made by the President.

AMERICAN GOODS IN ENGLAND.

A London letter says that the Americans, not
cOn,ented with supplying John Bull with beef,
pork cotton, tobacco, rice, wooden clocks, and nu-
merous other articles, are actually sending over
sheetings and shirtings-or "coths,'' as they are
there termed. The following paragraph appeared
recently in London journal:
The American brown cloths are really sub
stantial, and to the homclier part of a community,
most valuable fabrics. Manchester cloths, of the
same descriptions, not to be compared to them,
and although the import duty upon them be ten
per cent, could wish that our agriculturists
would try them, and show thereby that market

Lieutenant Browning testified to the establish
ing OF the order for lieutenanis to fog the men.
He first learned from Captain voorhees, his in
tention to come to Annapolis, week before he
got his orde rs from Commodore Turner, at Rio
Jaueiro. Lieutenant Browning gave his reasons
against going to Annapolis, and Capt Voorhees,
said he might growl as much as he pleased, he'd
be Id if he didn't 90 to Annapolsl After he
got his orders, he complained and, on the voyage
home, he SPOKE several times of what was to be
done when they got TO Annapolis. When they
took the pilot, they could have anchored in Lynn
Haven bay easier than to have gone to the Horse
Shoe. On this point the testimony of Lieutenant
Browning directly conhicted with that of the
pilot. He gave his opinion that there was no
cause for going up 10 Annapolis; and that the
course was free to Hampton Roads. The pilot
also told him, the night they anchored on the
Shoe, that the wind was fair to 90 to the light
boat. The second day up the bay, the wind
came ahead for Annapolis, and fair for Norfolk ::
and Lieutenant Browning advised Captain Voor-
hees 70 60 back. He replied he could not, be-
cause the government expected him at Annapolis
On ;he voyage he told Lieutenant Browning he
wished the men kept in exercise at tho guns, as
he expected that the heads Of departments and of
the bureaus would visit the ship at Annapolis
