TRIAL OF CAssIUs M. CLAY's SLAvE.--The Lex
ington Observer of the 18th inst. says: The negro
girl, Emily, belonging to G. M Clay, esq, indicted
for attempting to take the life Of his child by poison,
was tried in the Fayette circuit court on Tuesday
last, and acquitted. The testimony, we understand,
was by no means sufficient to establish her guilt,
though quite sufficient to have created suspicion.
Geo. B. Kinkead, esq, was assigned by the court
to her defence, and managed the case with great
zeal and ability. The prosecution was ably con-

The SUGAR CRoP.---A writer in the Plaquemine
Iouisiana) Gazette, who evidently speaks by the
card, goes into an elaborate argument to disprove
the assertion put forward by the New Orleans Price
Current in its annual commercial statement, to the
effect that "the coming crop Chat of this Year, will
be the largest in quantity and The best in quality of any
yet produced in Louisiana"
After setting forth array of facts, he comes to
the conclusion that "it cannot be reasonably ex-
pected that the present growing crop will exceed
100 900 hhds subject TO still further deduction from
an unfaverabe season, and an early freeze.n

EMIcRArIoN.--Th Iowa Gazette the 18th inst.
says Emigration to this Territory has been very
large this season, so far Our two ferry-boats are
kept constantly employed, in crossing over wagons
and stock; and the emgrans appear to be the right
kind. We have not inquired Of the ferryman, but
should think, from appearances, that from twenty
to forty wagons crossed the river at this point daily
with cattle, sheep, &C., in proportion. We may
safely calculate upon large increase Of population
this fall, perhaps larger than during any previous
season.

TABLE.

ofhe cotton imported io,soi AIS lbs from Texas
Thus, it will be seen, from the table above, that
of the principal agricultural staples of the country,
an immensely greater quantity were exported to
foreign countries, than were imported into this
country, Of the articles Of like kind coming in
competition with them; thus showing that the
farmers and planters of this country produce large
surplus Of those articles beyond the consumption
Of the country, which must find market abroad,
or perish upon their hands How idle, then, is it to
talk about protecting articles Of which we produce
large surplus, and which must find consumers in
foreign countries! How can the foreign producer
OF cotton afford to bring his commodity to this
country, and compete with the American planter,
who can undersell him in any market in the world !
How absurd is il to talk Of protecting wheat when
our farmers raise millions Of bushels more than can
