Arrival of the Caledonia !

The steamship Caledonia arrived at Pos- ton at o'clock on Saturday morning. She left Liverpool on fhe 18th ultimo.
 It appears that there has been no change in the price ot corn and flour, since the last arriV- sl-markets however dull.
 The news in substance Is as follows
 The American provision traie dull at the time of the sailing ofthe Caleddnia.
 No change in the price oi iron.
 Money market easy. A dimunition of bull ion continues, but to smaller extent than al the previous accounts.
 The feeling in the manufacturing districts lately, has been one of despondency. The tcOOl like most other markets. is dull. The demand at present is limited to the lower kinds of for eign Wool.
 The Cotton Market quiet. The speculative demand has ceased, and parties are looking to the effects which the efficiency in the new crop may have on prices.
 The London Gazette of the l7ih of Nov. an. nounces theestablishment of an effective block. ade of the River Douro.
 The advices by the Caledonia were certainly no less favorable han those of previous arriv- al
 The Corn Markets are stationary. A large export trade is still going on. and 5000 quarters ot Lincolnshire Wheat were bought few days beforefor shipment to France. The present duty is found to be prohbitory, and as fast as Corn or flour arrives it is exported.

NeW 1oEk, sept Zotn lO4o. Sir.-The poem, entitled The African Chief" of which MT. Fitzgerland claims to be the author, was written by me. in the year 1926, and publ ished with the signature of B." in the Uuited Stdtes' Revictc, of December, in that year Mr. Gurley, of Washington, the editor of the African Repository. was on a visit to New York. sometime in 1926, and sug- gested to me the story of the chief Yaradee, which had already been related in previous number of his periodical, as good subject for a poem On this hint, I wrote the verses. which, immediately after their appearance in the United States Revie,c he copied into the >.1trieGn RepositOry, with note concerning their origin.
 If the testimony of third person were nec- sessary, and If the poem were worth the trouble, T might call on MT Gurleyto make good my title toit.
 SineeI have published the poem as mine, my reputation Is somewhat concerned in this question. I am so little proud of the poem, that but for thisreason, think should net be inclined to disturb any person in his claim to be the author.
 Meantime, I am greatly obliged to you for the interest you have taken in exposing this impudept literary theft. though it be but a petty larceny-I am, sir. yours respectfully.

THE RANCHEROS.

These constitute principal portion of the Mexican army. Rowan Harden. of Kentucky, (who is in the army in Mexieo) writes to his father as follows:
 The Rancheros are the people who live on farms-they are poor soldiers, By the laws Of their Government they are not allowed to have arms at home. and consequently do not under stand the use of them. These people are cowardly. but unskilled in the use of arms. and without confidence in their rulers. Gen. Tay- Tor estseuas them brave people, but they are not effective in battle because of their igno- rance of the use of arms. Their defeat by Gen. Taylor. on the Rio Grande. with such odds in their favor. has destroyed all confidence in themselves. and they fight with no other expectation than to be whipped but let this war last twelve months longer. and rest assured they will prove an enemy no longer to be de- pressed.

TIE STORM AND WRECK.

Now that the public mind is alive to the horrors of the recent melancholy catasthro- phe of the steamer Atlantic, Byron's vivid description of Shipwreck will be read with fresh interest.
 Twas twilight, for the sunless day went down
 Over the waste of waters; like veil, Which, if withdrawn, would but disclose the frown
 Of one whose hate is masked but to assail; Thus to their hopeless eyes the night was shown And grimly darkled OCT their faces pale And the dim desolate-twelve days had Fear Been their familiar, and now death was here. Some trial had been making at raft,
 With little hope in such rolling sea, sort Oi thing at which one would have laugh'd any laughter at such times could be, Unless with people who too much have ouaff'd And have kind of wild and horGid glee Half epileptical, and half hysterical: Their preservation would have been miracle. At half past o'clock, booms, hen-coops, spars And all things, for chance. had been cast
 loose,
 That still could keep aAoat the struggling tars, For yet they strove. although of no great use |: There was not light in heaven but few stars; The boats put off o'ercrowded with their
 crews;
 She gave heel, and then lurch to port, And d,goiEg down head ad-foremost-sunk.i in short Then rose from sea to sky the wild farewell, Then shrekd the timid, and stood still the
 brave;
 Then some leap'd overheard with dreadful yell, As eager to anticipate their grave; And the sea yawAd around her like hell. And down she suck'd with her the whirline
 wave,
 Like one who grapples with his enemy, And strives to strangle him before he die. And first one universal shriek their rush'd, Louder than the loud ocean, like crash Of echoing thunder; a,.d then all was hushed, Save the wild wind and the remorseless dash or pillows; but at intervals there gush'd,
 Accompanied with convulsive splash, A solitary shriek-the bubbling cry
 Of some strong swimmer in his agony.

From the United Stafesa Gazette,

VorEs.-Some body has asked US how the House of Repre- sentativrs of Congress will stand as regards its political division, having particular reference to vote for President, should the election devolve on that body. If any body will tell us how many States will be in the Union at that time, we may guess at an answer. But the present Congress is in the hands of the Locos and they may at once annex New Mexico, California, and half dozen other Mexican provinces, as independent States, and thus single Representative, who cannot pro- nonnce the yea and nay, of a Congressional vote. may, in so important question as the election of President of the United States, out vote the thltty.tonr Representatives of New York.

PLAN FOR ABOLgSHING SLAVERY.
 The following is the plan proposed by Hon. David Sears of Boston, in his letter to J. o. Adams, for the Abolition of Slavery:
 1. That Commissioners be appointed by the United States, and confirmed by the Senate, whose duty it shall be-under such conditions as Congress may detsrmine--to purchase and smaDcipate slaves-being women and childreh born prior tO 1850, and held bound to service by any citizen of the United States, within such States of this Union as have net yet abol. ished slavery; and that annual appropriations be made by Congress for this purpose.
 2. That from and after July, 1850. there shall be throughout the United States. nO hereditG- ry SlaueTy. But that on and after that date. every child born within the United States of America. their jurisdiction and Territories, shall be born free.
