FLOUR AND MEAL.-The Flour market was
steadily siffening, after last weeks report, IN
duccd from the falling off of receipts and the chill
ing temperature of the atmosphere. Buyers, how
ever have not operated beyond their immediate re-
uuirements. On Saturday, sales of Howard street
were made at 5.S7sa$6 closing at the latter. On
Monday the market opened at SO, but only some
one or two small lots sold, holders contcnding for
1925, which price they obtained for over l00O brs,
in lots during the day. On Wednesday 1t opened at
the price, but soon advanced 10 So'5,z' at
which considerable sales were made, and which was
the asking price on Thursday, although purchasers
operated at Ss6.3lI, and 300 brls were taken at
Ss625. There were sellers at the latter ycstcr-
day, but we heard of no transactions at any price.
City Mills kept pace pretty evenly with Howard
street in regard TO prices, but the stock was too
limited for extensive OPP rations indeed the stock OF
all denominations of Flour, well as that OF heat,
is quite light for the season, not exceeding we think,
as far as we can learn, the equivalent TO 10000 or
50 900 brls, and there is not much OF supply oil

REVIEW OF THE
BALTIMORE MARKET
(AND INCIDENTS CONNECTED HEREWITH
For the Week ending last even,ng.

REMARKS.-Thc market in general since our
last report has assumed quite inactive character
The want of our usual supplies of Western Produce,
and the absence of many leading articles in the Gro
Gerry and some other departments, have contributed
TO effect this quiet. The early interruption OF canal
navigation by Hoods noticed at the time, will account
an part for the deficiency of Western Produce, al
though portion of it has since found its way TO mar
ket via Cumberland and the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road; but one great striking n0celty OF the season
has BEEN that hitherto at corresponding periods we
have received large supplies of Wheat from the
Susquchanna country by canal boats, until the sevc-
rity of the weather closed the navigation; this sea-
son, however, large portions OF Maryland and virgil
MIA Wheat have been purchased in this market and
shipped to that same section of country TO supply the
wants of the farmers, and others.
AMERICAN DRY GOODS.-Thc market for
Cotton Fabrics is very inactive, in general. There
have been recently few packages disposed OF for
the South American markets, otherwise we should
have been with scarcely transaction TO report.

about $500 bags all Rio the extremes OF which were
7a72 but the greater bulk of the sales were made at
u cts. per H., mos. large portion has gone out
ofmarket. The import this week has been 1900 bags
from Rio Janciro.

quality, has sold at IS cts per lb, cash.

on the fifteenth of the present month.
The offer made by the British Government
through their Minister. Mr.. Bankhead, to

THE CHURCH pRoPERTY.

We alluded to this subject in our last, and re-
vert to it again, in order to show the success of
the project, and the influence of objections when
coming from certain source. Immediately
after the appearance of the communca cations of
"A Catholic at Washington" mentioned last
week the Union swallowed its words, and at
tempted an exculpatlon of the President, thus:
ave understand that there never has been
the most distant thought on the part of the Ad-
ministration, of 'sequesterng' the revenues of
the Mexican church for this or any other pur-
pose. On the contrary, the property of the
church will be held inviolate under all circum
stances. The proclamations of oar different
military commanders to the Mexican people,
under orders issued from the government, have
all announced that the property of the church
the rights of person and property-would be
most religiously respected. We are authorised
to state that this policy remains unchanged"
This is the shameful manner in which the
Administration backs out of its plans, and the
Government Organ swallows its words, for fear
of the opposition of the Catholic church-for
| fear it may turn the balance of power, which
some Of its Jealous supporters boast of posses
sing, against itself.
! We believe the war unjust, of course we
wish it stopped; but does not this vaclation on
the part of the Government, brought about by
the dictum of a sect, evince most alarming de-
gree of influence in that sect-an influence dan
gerons to our libertyl The Church property of
property. 1t is the private property of the
priests. Neither is il whit moro sacred than
Presbyterian, Methodist, Episcopalian or Bap
! fist Church property, and yet who believes that
| it in our power to seize the revenues IF the
English church that we should scruple to do it!
Who believes that the Episcopalian Church in
this country could lay its hand upon the exec
utive's shoulder and bid him stop, with entire
and instant success? Would there not, on the
contrary. one universal shout at the downfall
of that "odious Hierarchy arise from the
length and breadth of the land! Now is it to
be said that what would be considered merltori-
Gus conduct towards the Protestant church, Is
unjust towards the Catholic! When we have
exhausted all other means which Mexico pos
sesss for carrying on hostilities, we must at an
enormous expense, maintain a long war against
the armies of the church. We must not touch
the source of their subsistence: why then should
we touch their sacred persons, or capture their
: holy cannons, or seize their concecrated sup
plies. To be brief we dispise the Administra-
tration heartily for yielding to the Glamour
| L.. Il
and we shudder at this plain discovery, that
there is power, aside from the power of the
people, in this country, before which this gov
eminent trembles and covers. GFThat pow
er is even now our ruler and we warn the peo-
rle of the United States to take heed that their
liberties are not irrevOcaJly lost ere they are

From the St. Louis Republican, May Is.
FROM SANTA EE.

Our correspondent at Independence writes TO US,
that news from Santa Fe to tee 18th of April
had been received there by Mr.. Anthony Cos
grave, who had been in the employ of Col. FIRE.
mont, and returned through New Mexico. The
news which he brings from California has al
ready been anticipated by that which was pub
ished in yesterdays paper.
In Santa Fe matters remain about the same
as AT last dates. Sickness was very prevalent,
and deaths occvrred every day. Mr.. Scully
died the day MIR. Cosgrave was in town; he was
al old resident of New Mexico, and was known
TO every one familiar with the country. MIR.
CosgTave visited the grave yard at Santa Fe,
and counted while there upwards of three hum
bred graves. made during the past fall and WIN
ctr.
The Superior Court for the District Of Taos
was still in session, for the trial OF the re5els.-
Six men, as we have already stated, had been
tried and were hung, ana twelve more had been
found guilty, and condemned TO the same fate.
Except from causes resulting from so extraor-
diuary a scene Of punishment, all was quiet in
the territory. @
a large nuRlber of Camanche Indians were
assembled at the crossing of tie Arkansas,
threatening to kill and rob every American at
tempting to pass there. A fort in progress of
erection there, before this company came in,
was attacked, and all the mules taken, in open
day light, and before the eyes of sixty sew n
ty men. The Indians were also killing their
oxen, without resistance.
Mr.. Brown, aho left Independence short
time since, with a few wagons for Santa Fe,
was not seen on the route; it is hoped that he
nav have turned of ON some new route, and in
this way have been missed.
Our correspondent says: ave have been
looking for arrivals every day from chihuahua.
The traders who were IN advance of the army
are SAID to be Oh their return. A few days
ago. a number of carriers and tcamsters came
in from chihuahua by the way of Texas. They
suffered greatly ior the want Of provisions, and
s3cal of the road as wretchedly bad and difficult
to find.
Mr. Mayer, VIM. Mcknight, and one or two
other traders will be in in day or two.

Discovery OF 'sTHUNDRRBoLT.' This cele-
trated English robber, who has for number Of
years successfully elnded all search, died few
DAYS since at Brattleboro Vt. where he had re-
sided number of years, and enjoyed much ce-
Iebrity as a physician, entirely unsuspected, but
much respected. The Barre Patriot gives the
following account OF VINO he really was:
'.Dnring his last illness he refused to be undres-
sed, s. when near his end, hired two men TO bury
him in his clothes, just as died, contract which
was not fulfilled on their part in consequence
of the neighbors. who were DESTROYS Of giving
his remains BETTING burial. On removing
his clothes previous to his being laid out, the
cause of this eccentric desire of his was man.

marks, and the scar which witnessed previ-
Gus attempt at suiclde-precisely as laid down
in Lghtfoot's description of him-ma rked him
as the Thunderbolt who had gained such noto-
riety in England and this country. as one the
most daring and successful bighwaymen that
ever graced the annals of crime. On his per
son were also found dirk and pistol. and among
his effects, arms of all descriptions, together
with watches, iewelry, sc. sc. to an enormous
value packed away in saw-dust. He always
went dressed in three suits of clothes, to make
his figure more portly, and to prevent recogni-
ton. and his withered leg was wound with
cloths to make i; appear the size Of the other"
