HOMESTEAD ExEMPrIoN-Th Legislature Of Con-
necticut, their recent session, passed law which
exempts entirely the homestead that is worth less than
three hundred dollars from being taken on an execu
ton for debt. The words of the law are, that 80

of any one person. having family, as does not ex-
coed in value the of three hundred dollars and
as will reasonably and conveniently accommodate only
such person and family and such 1--we stock as is now
exempt by law from warrant and execution. shall be.
and the hereby is, exempt from being taken by
anv warrant or execution for any debt whatever"
All additions and improvements made from time to
time which are not absolutely necessary for the
commodation of the family are not thus exempted.
The application of the law to residences worth more
than three hundred dollars and where the land also
is worth more will be rather difficult. This, prUba-
bly, is left to be defined by future legislation, and
experience shall dictate.

Mexican News.

By the polteness of the editors Of the New Albany
Democrat, we have copy of the n. o. Picayune OF
July 10.
The news is derived chiefly from Mexican papers,
and should be received with caution. A council of
war is said to have been held in Scotts camp on the
2Slh ut One general is said to have argued that It
would be an act of madness to march 10 the city of
Mexico with less than % 600 men. Gen. Worth was
of different opinion and maintained that every in
yader who hesated was lost; that sx or eIgh: thou
sand Americans could conquer 10000 Mexicans.
Scott approved these sentiments and determined to
commence forward movement on the 2StE; but sub
sequeny hearing of the arrival of reinforcements at
Vera Cruz he postponed his march to the 10Th July,
to allow them to come up.

MoLAgsEs.-Thc quantity of Molasses produced
in the manufacture of the last Sugar crop is estimated
about 6,0OO,OO0 gallons, against 9,OOO,OJO gallons
the year previous. This material reduction III the
supply has had its effect upon prices, which have
ruled higher than for several years past. The first
receipt of the crop in the city was lot OF cIgh-
teen barrels the 9TH Of October, which Immediate
" sold at 30 cents per gallon, the market having
previously been bare of any except lew parcels OF
inferior old crop. One two subsequent lots sold
at the price, but supplies increased the rates
gradually gave way, and early in November the
range was down to 22a23 cents per gallon. This
was the lowest point of the market; and from Nov.
up the latter part of January the bulk of the
ceipts disposed OF al range OF 23d25 cents per
gallon. From January to March the range on the
Icvee 26a29 cents, and subsequently for several
months under light receipts, though with limited
demand prices remained with remarkable stcadi-
ness al an range of 26d3O cents per gallon,
according to quality; and the closing rates are 2Sa32
cents per gallon, with stock in the city estimated
at about 800 barrels. Of the 6,OOO,OOO gallons OF
Louisiana product there have been exported to the
Atlantic ports 1905 gallons 300 900 gallons for
the consumption of the West and South. Last year
the exports the Atlantic ports were 100000 gal
Ions, while the est ana South look o,oOU,ooo ga-
Ions.
WESTERN PRoDucE.-In our previous annual
norris the branches of our commerce embraced under
this head have commanded more and more OF our
attention from TO year, according to their rapid
10 extending importance; but during the past season,
particularly in the department OF BreddStuts, they
have attained TO a prominence which gives remark
able evidence of the surprising advancement OF the
fertile West in the development of her great re-
sources In confederation of this position the receipts
of Flour have been about double those of last year,
being 675 barrels, against S37, 9S5 barrels last
son: about five times much as was received ten
years ago. The increase in Indian Corn has been
sill more remarkable the receipts this season being
equal TO 7066,0O0 bushels, against 3,543oO0 bushels

NORTH OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

We find the impression to be, that about 5000
barrels Of Iurpcntinc are now annually made in this
State. Not more than 200 900 barrels if that were
shipped to York and other ports, the past year.
in its crude state, the largest portion Of the whole
being distilled in the State. The estimated value to
the makers, is about s 100000 annually, and may
be S2,ODD,OO0. About i or 5000 labOrers cngag-
ed in making it, and perhaps, three times many
more Of human beings supported mainly from the
proceeds of its first sale. The distillaon of Turpcn-
tine in this State is carried on very extensively
which will render the shipment Of it in its crude
state, very small in future. 1t is supposed that there
in operation about $50 stills, which at an
average cost of s 1900 with futures shows that there
is an expenditure Of $225,000 TO begin with in the
distilling of Spirits of Turpcnne. This number Of
stills TO have steady work would require 100000
barrels annually, more than is made; which to
is indication that the distng business is over
done. Should the makers of the article continue to
multiply stills and thus mon0polize the distilling as
well as the making, it will be necessary for those
now engaged in it to invest their capital in other pur
suits The cost OF dstilling is very great, and when
reckon the cost of transportation, the profits Of
distillcrs, Of ship owners, commission merchants, and
the vendors of the article abroad, il will be that
the capital and labor employed is not only immense,
but the numbers who are supported by the manufac
ture and sale Of the article is astonishing Perhaps
there is article produced in this country by the
same number of laborcrs, which contributes so much
TO the commerce and prosperity Of the country the
article of Turpentinc.- IN e. NetcJer.
