The Sfafe Debt.

The N. Y. Journal Of Commerce of Oct /, has the
following paragraph on this important subject
INDIANA DEBr.-We learn that the letters BY the
Great Western in reference to the negotiation now
going in London for the adjustment of the State
debt Of Indiana, under the law Of last winter are IA
vorable to the success of the arrangement We have
not ourselves the letters but give the informa-
ton as it is communicated to US from respectable
source 1t may be proper, however, to say, that we
saw letters a month or two since, from two of the
London bondholders from which we inferred that thew
would require some modification of the law, before
yielding to Its conditions Time will show which
version is right.

nrTbe New York corresuondept Of the Wasl

OTThe New York correspondent of the WASH
ington Union, under date of October lst says:
The Westerns news, yesterday morning, took
away the breath of the flour men here, and it was
some time before they could themselves suf-
GENTLY to know how much to ask. For fear of
shooting themselves, they put on only fifty cents
barrel for that day, and the market closed $3.50
for Genessee, and at that the buyers eager
than the sellers. To-day there is no change The
Journal Of Commerce of this morning says, with
entire truth
'.The exports from the United States to Europe
during the next eight months viii be immense. Not
only cotton rce tobacco, and all sorts Of breadstus,
including large quantities of Indian corn (heretoore
but little exported to Europe,) will go forward, but
beef, pork, lard, cheese, apples, &C., &C. Even the
English whale fishery has, in great measure, failed
this season, and they will have depend the Yam
kees in part, for supplies Of oil. The London Times
says:
''sWe have been given to understand that only
four whale ships have arrived from the southern
whale fishery this year, bringing together less than
400 tons of oil. The estimated loss to the owners of
these four vessels will exceed E20,OOO, and none of
them have been retted for the service. 1t is stated
that proposition made to government more than
twelve months since, to revive this important branch
of shipping; but it does not appear that the appica-
ton was successful. Manufacturers and consumers,
under these circumstances must be dependent for the
future on the United States of America for supply
of spermacetl OIL
..'rhese abundant exports will give ample employ
ment to our shpping-will increase imports, and
consequently reyenue--will keep foreign
changes in healthy state-perhaps will cause an
importation of coin-and by increasing the price of
agricultural produce will promote the interests of the
farmers and through them, of the merchants, and the
whole community"

language: sThere said to be in Virginia, on the

These lands, though apparently poor, are very pro-

distress and suffering among the Mormons who have
had to flee the city of Nauvoo. Some four or five

miserable creatures may be inferred when we state
that have been correctly informed that not enough
provisions could be found in the city Of Nauvoo when
it surrendered, give the inhabitants good
