On the I'd Of August -four was quoted in Liver
pool at 80 shillings, and Indian corn at 36 shil-
lings, showing that the principal decline took
place on the Sd of August. The arrival Of the
next steamer from Liverpool will be looked for
with the greatest anxiety. The effect of this
news upon our own markets must be great, bur
aot to the extent that would be experienced had
prices on this side ruled high. The decline yes.
terday in this market in flour was about fifty
cents per barrel.
The Liverpool cotton market on the Sd inst 4,
was firm. There had been slight decline, bu,
it had been recovered, and the reports by the
Cambria arc about the same as those received
by the Hberhja. The accounts from this side
received in Liverpool on the 18th Of July, by
the Caledonia, had favorable effect on the mar

Much to the surprise and satisfaction Of every
person, the mails of the Cambria, were brought
to this city last evening.
We do not know to whom the community are
indebted for this piece of enterprise and good
luck-certainly not to Cave Johnson, for he
could not agree upon terms with the railroad
company. We apprehend that we are indebted
to either the Boston Postmaster or to the Wor-
cester, Springfield, Hartford, and New Haven
Railroad Company, or perhaps both.

BROKE JAIL. Five prisoners broke out
of the Jail in this place about one o'clock last
Friday morning, and have not been seen since.
Two of them, Francis and Charles Smith, were
put there for breaking into Ieman Crookers
house ir this village, week ago last Sunday.
Mr.. Croker and his family were all absent
and on returning home found them in the
cellar help ping themselves to what they could
find. They were Young men about IL and
20 years IL.
Another, by the name of Alexander Minick,
was Jail on a charge of'bigamy.
Another, Celestin Bcausolocl, was there for
stealing a trunk from the American.
These men were all in the cells, and it is
supposed that the bars to the cells were spread
apart By a piece of wood that is used for sup
porting their BEDS they were then able to
get their hands between the bars and unscrew
the bolts which hold on the locks. They then
sawed off one of the bars to the windows aud
escaped without much difficulty, through the
outside.
A Reward of $50 has been offered for their
apprehension.
The same night Mr.. j. s. H. p. Herrick &
Co. had nearly all their tools taken from their
shop, amounting to two or three hundred
dollars. We also learn that Chase & Smith,
at the Falls, lost all their tools the same night
1t is supposed that-ths same company,or some
part ofit,committed these depreciation

that what is done will be well done. 1t is a

After having determined where your trees

The only way in which Mr.. Polk can give III,

very unusual and rapid promotion! How far this
circumstance tended to soothe the old gentleman,
