On Saturday aud Monday last tho demand was kept up
on the scale OF the previous week, and rather tighter pti-

there was less activity, and the buyer had the advantage
that less keen competition affOrds; other than this there

During the week which has elapsed since our last cireu
lar, we have very little change TO notice in our Produce
market save in Corn.
The weather has continued extremely fine and fayora-
bic, and the last remnants OF the harvest have been secured
and housed; but the confirmed loss of the Potato crop,
with the heavy aud steady consumption of all kinds Of food,
has caused a considerable advance in plice, and large guam
titles have changed hands on speculation at The following
prices
Western Canal Flour. 2s. in bond, 3Os to 3Is duty paid;
Indian Corn, Ais TO ils per quarter; Wheat also is 81 per
quarter desrer, and Indian Meal has realized 22s 10 % per
barrel. The arrivals are large, and oil the accounts from
prices which will be remunerauve TO shippers.
We must confess we would look at this rspid rise with
great caution. and advise prudence to all shippers in trust
ing TO these prices, as the changes on both sides OF the Al.
lanuc have prepared new sources to supply our wants. which
no doubt vii be large. but which the abundance Of the U.
States can fully supply.
Beef and pork continue in steady demand, without alter
alton in value. Good Cheese scarce, and wanted. Lard

Magnificent BosVsEi.-IsAAe FKASKLIS. lato Of Sum
ner CO., Tennessee, died on the 9Th Of April last. lie
began life rs a bosnian, and in that capacity commenced
tho acquisition Of 4 fortune which, at the time OF his death
exceeded a million Of dollars. He had large estates in the
Parish OF West Felieians. Louisiana, independent Of an
immense estate in Tennessee. A writer in the Nashville
Wing thus speaks Of the disposition OF his property:
His Louisiana property has been valued a, near half a
million Of dollars, and by the best judges is considered
TO have been estimated considerably below its real value
By the law Of that State, a testator, who leaves l legitimate
child, can only dispose of two-thirds Of his property situated
there, away from his child; one half IL he leaves 2 children;
and one-Ihird, il or 4 greater number. This power OF dis
position, Mr.. Franklin exercised 10 the utmost, for he so
disposed OF his property in that State. as that onsthird Of 1t
should, whatever might be the number Of his children at
his death, 60 to the Seminary in Sumner county. To this
donation OF not less than Sl50,OOO he added all the rest of
his property wherever situated, merely charging II with the
payment Of q few comparatively unimpouani legacies, and
an annuity determinable with a single life. Here, then, is
an institution of learning endowed by single individual,
with property Of the value OF not less than $500, 000.-
Moreover the will provides that IT shall be built on his plan
taion in Sumner county, the selected retreat Of his declin-
ing years. spot cultivated like 4 Paradise, and as fertile
and attractive as can be found in the Valley Of the Missis-
sippi. This delightful spot, upon which nature has lavish
cd her choicest gits, Is set apart to an object worthy Of its
natural elcellence; and, II may be hoped, will be ranked
among those localities in the word, to which our minds
recuT with sentiments Of reverence and awe, as devoted
by man and sancuhed by Heaven to advance the well be-
ing OF the world.
The simple and unpretending terms in which this mag
niheent endowment Is couehed, are not a little striking, and,
at the same time, characteristic Of the man. The revenues
arising from the property, says tho will. are TO be laid out
in building proper and suitable edifces on my Fairvue PAN
tation, in the county OF Sumner, and State OF Tennei SOC,
for an Academy or Seminary, the furnishing the same with
fixtures and furniture, and the employment and payment
of such Teachers and Professors, male and female, as may
be considered necessary by my said Trustees, for the edu.
cation, board and clothing Of the children Of my brothers
and sisters aud their descendants. as we'll as my own chill
dron and their descendants, in the best and most suitable
aud proper manner for American youths, having n paricu.
lar regard to a substantial and good English education, and
such other higher and ornamental branches a. the afore said
revenue, &c, will enable my said Trustees to accomplish.
And, IT the revenues, &c, shall be sufficient therefor, |
also wish that the poor children IN the said county Of Sum
ncr, Of uneKceptonsbo character, and such az my Trus.
tees my select, should likewise be educated and supported
during the time atthe said Seminary.
The main object in the nature at events, here designed
by the testatOr, namely, a provision for the poor children Of
Sumner county, Is mOdestly cloaked undsr a provision
seeming to DO chiefly for his own and brothers and sis
tsrs' posion'y. This noble beneyoenco olectually oK-
tracts the sling OF poverty and orphanage in Sumner eoun.
", and makes blessed a lot usually 50 mOurniul. and 30 eK-
citing our sympathies. a life Of strenuous and laboriVus
oHofuOn 10 The pursuit Of wealth, and crowned with extra.
ordinary success, is worthily ended by tho devotion OF its
horder to such q truly glorious and christian bonoyolonce,
and Il forever embulmod in the memory ofmen, and snatch.
ed from oblivion that 50 soon shrOuds the name Of ordinary
mOttals.
