they produce The home market alone is
inadequate TO enable them to dispose OF the
immense surplus of food and other articles
which they are capable OF producing, even
at the most reduced prices, for the mani
fest reason that they cannot be consumed
in the country. The United States can,
from their immense surplus, supply not
only the home demand, but the delicIen-
ces of food required by the whole world
That the reduced production of some
of the chief articles of food in Great Bri
tain, and other parts of Europe, may have
increased the demand for our breadsiuifs
and provisions, is not doubted; but thai
the great and efficient cause OF this IN
creased demand, and of increased prices
consists in the removal of artificial re-
strlctions heretofore imposed, is deemed te
be equally certain. That our exports o

This forenoon, Mr. Barker Burnell, late
Cashier of the Manufacturers and Me-
chanics' Bank, Of Nantucket, was arrest,
ed, on complaint OF C. G. Coffin and D.
Thain, charged with embezzIiog its prop

most Intense excitement prevailed, and
the streets were filled with knots Of cili-

Nothing else was talked Of, and tiltIe
else thought Of, either by young or old.
The Court assembled at | o'clock, p.
NJ. Every nook aud corner of the house
was filled and an anxious interest was
plainly 10 be seen upon the couDtenanccs
of the audience.
The Indictment was then read, charg-
ing the respondent with having em5ezzl4d
the property Of the bank, to the amount Of
$4,000, and frauduIenlIy converted il, 10

c~essive. beyond their power 10 procure /;
speaking al some length of its uncaIled

Terrible Hail Storm and Destruction OF
Property,

Terrible Hail Storm and Destruction of
Property.
We learn from the (Penn.) DlnviIle
Democrat, that a violent and destructive
hail and thunder storm visited hat section
Of the country on Saturday afternoon,
May 23. The storm continued about
one hour, destroying the standing wheat,
rye and corn, literally cutting them TO
shreds. Whole orchards were uprooted
ana large tracts OF timber land completely
cut down, as though moved by the scythe.
Great damage was done to the grain and
garden vegetables in Rush, and The ad.
joining townships, amounting to not less
than $4,000 Houses and barns were
nnrooted and some entirely destroyed, bu-
rying under their ruins a number of cattle.
The thunder was very loud and The size
of the hail stones enormous. 1t hailed for
about fifteen minutes. The course OF the
storm seemed 10 have been from North.

ued about one fIl hour, with such grea,
violence that aImos' every thing in its
way was laid PROSTATE TO the earth, ex>

was done to them. The woods are a vast
ruin nearly lhree-fOurths Of the timber
is down, including all the good and heavy
trees. The earth was torn up dreadfuIIy,
so as 10 be impossible with either horses
or wagons. Some of the roads were
completely shut up. The orchards are
also ruined !; in some from 20 TO 80 trees
are destroyed. The grain in most places
will not yield half crop, and The grass is
damaged more or less. Our Oldest in.

A MOST FoRCIBLE ARGUMENT. Eight
years ago, in the times Of the Regulators
civil law was but litIe regarded in some
paris of Texas and when "A Judge had the
irmness to sit upon the bench to dispense
justice, he, by the laws Of self defence, had
TO be armed, other than in The ordinary
way Of 'justice." AT the trial Of a des-
perate cause, Judge Williamson presided,
and, as was supposed, unarmed, for he is
never fond OF show, and is, wjtha!, a mod
est man. AS the counsel concluded his
pathetic appeal, he, backed by the assas
sin, his client, pulled from his belt a mon
strous bowie knife, and thrustins it in the
direction OF thejudge, exclaimed, at the top
of his voice, land here, your honor, is the
but end of my argument" The self pos,
sessed jddge, in an instant, presented a
large holster pistol at the counsel, saving ,
"And here, you s%coundrel, is the muzz.e,
lock, and butt end of my judgment"

WAR WITH MEXICO!
MatamOrOs taken without OppOsi'
tiOn. Mexican soldiers desert
ing in great numbers.
From the New Orleans Delta.

Ga the night of the l9.h, an express ar.
rived from Gen. Taylor, stating that he
had crossed the Rio Grande and taken the
city of Malamoros without opposition
The MeAicens having fled the city.
The Mexicans from their last accounts
were DESERVING their ranks in batIallions.
Col. Mclntosh, Capt. Page, and all the
others who were wounded in The action of
the Slh aud OH, are at Point Isabel, and
are recovering.
The escape of Capt. Thornton, at The
Time his company was so badly cut up, is
almost incredible.
Alter carrying him safely over a high
hedge, enclosing which he had been de-
coyed, his horse brought INN safely over
fences and deep %ravines, swimming the
Rio Grande above Matamoros.
Then passing down below the town, on
the opposite side, in attempting to leap a
broad ditch, he missed his footing, when
both horse and rider were thrown by the
fall. The Captain was so stunned that
he was soon after taken by the Mexicans,
perfectly unconscious of what had hap
pened.
After the battle ofthe 9Th, he was ex,
changed and restored TO our army.
The whole number of our killed and
wounded is, probably, over three hundred.
BESIDES the wounded taken to St Josephs,
there are now forty at Point Isabel too
badly wounded to be removed. All but
three it is thought will recover. There
are three Mexican prisoners having but
one leg between them all.
