FIRE.--We learn from the Glasgow
News that the large and extensive water
rotting hemp establishment and Touring
mill, belonging to John Harrison, Esq.
near Glasgow, was totally destroyed by
fire, about o'clock on Sunday morning
last. After the fire was discovered, j,
spread with such rapidity that nothing
except the books were saved. The loss, in
machinery, hemp, wheat, &C., must be
heavy: no insurance. 1t is not known
how the fire originated. Our whole COM

ment.

COMMODORE STOCKTON.

COMMODORE STOCKTON.
Com. Stockton and party, forty-six in
number, arrived in st. Louis last week,
from California. The Commodore pro.
ceeded Immediately on to Washington.
They left the settlements of California
on the 18th Of July. They found consid-
cradle snow on the mountains, and the
rivers thi, side quite low. The weather
during the whole trip, was very dry. When
on Tuckey river, they were attacked by
a party of Washu Indians in the night,
and four horses were badly wounded.
Before Com. Stockton left his bed, he
was slightly wounded in the arm by an
Indian arrow. On the route, they met
large parties of emigrants on their way to
California and Oregon. On the Platte. the
Indians were encamped in large numbers,
and sent Populations to Com. s., request.
ing him TO ask their Father Qhe Presidency
TO send them agents and fathers, that they
may become civilized.
Business was much embarrassed in Cali
fornia, by difficulties between The agents.
When they left all was quiet, and no further
hostility with the inhabitants was appre-
hended. Col. Mason is acting as Cover.
nor.
During his short sojourn in ST. Louis,
the Commodore addressed short note 10
the editors of the Union, covering letter
written by him in California, TO the editor
of the Californian, published at Monterey,
pronouncing some assertions of the editor
false, in reference 10 who was the "com-
mander.in-chief" of the expedition which
marched upon Ciudad de los Angeles. The
Commodore emphatically and distinctly
announces that he was the Commander.
in.chief," and was so regarded by Gen.
Kearney, and other officers. His statement
is verified by certificates from various off.
GERS.
The Commodore will doubtless let of
one of his big guns, soon.

I have seen nothing to change my convictions or
that subject. We have enjoyed undoubtedly. in
all the departments of Agriculture, and perhaps
in some of those of Manufactures, . high degree
of prosperity this year. But the cause Of it can
not be mistaken. 1t was the European famine
which threw the balance of trade so greatly in GU
