ultimately the effect Of the introduction
Of malzo will be to supercede the pota-
to as principle article of food in thai
country. ] look forward to gradually,
but surely, elevating the scale ofliving
in that country; andI think the intro
duction Of maize will ultimately have
that effect. The prejudice against it is
rapidly disappearing"
FOREST AND MAcREApY.-The emeute
between Mr.. Forrest and Macready.
arose from the queer fact that while Mr..
Macready was playing "Hamlet," in
Edinburgh, he introduced fancy dance
into one OF the acts!--which Mr.. For
rest, while sitting In the boxes, took the
liberty Of kissing, as a desecration of
the subject.
The OREGoN QUEsTroN.--The arti-
Gle in the last number OF the Quarterly
Review, on the subject of Oregon, is
beginning to attract attention, now that
the hubbub, arising out of the Indian
victories, is fast subsiding.
The gist of the article is to promote
compromise, and the reviewer would
be content with the 49th parallel. We
have contended from the first that any
fair settlement Of the dispute would be
hailed with JOY by the English people.
The PoLIsH INsURREcTIoN.- let
ter from Cracow states that on the 2Sth
of March, the Director of the Police
issued proclamation by order Of Field
Marshal, Count Castiglione, by which
all strangers living in the city or in the
territory of Cracow, whose passports
are not in order, or who have not a
special permission from the Police, are
ordered to quit within fifteen days, 9TH
erwise they will be compelled to do SO
by force.
Accounts from Galicia state that the
peasants, far from obeying the order to
retire to their homes, have attacked
the Austrian troops at various places,
and are commanded by men of great
military tactics.
The number of troops at Galicia
does not exceed $4,000 men. 1t is said
that there is an ill-feeling between the
Russian and Austrian officers.
MoRMoNs.--MoRE TRoUBLE.--We
find the folio wing in the Quincy Wing:
ANTI-MoRMoN MEETlNG!--As the
troops are about to disband in Hancock
by order of the Governor,
Meeting of the citizens of Adams coun-
ty will be held at the court house in
Quincy, on Thursday evening, at half
past o'clock, to consider the subject
Of the removal Of the Mormons from
this state.
Quincy, Illinois, April 2l, 1S46.
A large portion of the Mormons
evince an unwillingness to move-in
fact, extreme poverty prevents them;
and the old citizens of Hancock are al
ready preparing to compel their depar-
ture. Gov. Ford is about withdraw
ing his protection from the unhappy
people, and the result may be guessed.
The Quincy Whig says--We under
stand that Governor Ford is determin-
ed that the Mormons shall comply with
the terms of agreement entered into by
that people with the state author
last fall, VIZ: as soon as water run and
grass grew this spring, the Mormons
were to leave the State. That time
has arrived, and the Mormons are CIV
en- 10 the first Of May to fulfil their
agreement. If, after that time, the
Mormons still remain in the state, the
Governor will not be accountable for
the outrages that may be the conse-
quence."
This is miserable state Of things, in
any case. We know not, (says the
Hancock Eagle,) upon whom His Ex-
cellency relies for counsel, or whether
he acts independent Of any counsel, but
Of this we are convinced, that the as
of a hostile attitude towards
The Mormons at this particular time, is
lot measure that will hasten their de-
We have before given it as
our solemn conviction, that if the hor-
'ors of war be let loose upon them at
his time it will have tendency to in
luce many to stand by their friends,
who, but for this, would soon be on
heir way to regions washed by the
Pacific ocean.
The THREE MILE PAINrlNe.-The
Louisville, KY, Courier, OF the 10th
nst., says:--We passed a few moments
yesterday in the rooms of Mr.. Ban
Yard, the gentleman we spoke of some
weeks since, as having been industri-
