THE MARKETS AND PRICES.

The Philadelphia Markets present
very tempting appearance at this season
of the year. Green peas, asparagus, sa-
lads of various kinds, to say nothing OF
plants and flowers-are among the attrac-
lions. The prices, however, are enor-
nous, not only for vegetables but for
meats. Beef has been selling for IA and
Is cents pound, ham ditto, veal from
10 to ID cents, and butter from 35 to 45
cents. These prices in some cases are
double what they were some months
since. Great complaints are made by
keepers of boarding-houses, and indeed
by all classes of society, except the veal
thy. We recently stated that the proprl-
etor of one of our hotels had paid so in
the market for what short time since
would not have cost him $40. Several
of our friends complain that their house
keeping costs them nearly double; while
persons in moderate circumstances find 1t
necessary TO exercise the most rigid econ
omy, even TO the curtailment Of two to
three meat dinners in week, and a dimi-

mutton Of half their usual quantity of but
ter. In New York, too, the prices are
nearly as high. We find beef-steaks
quoted at from IL to Is cents pound;
mutton at from 8 to 10 cents; lamb at
from rs cents TO 81 80 per quarter; pork
from to 10 cents per ID; fowls from 70
cents to sl,25 per pair; potatoes from 62
cents to 81 per bushel; asparagus from
% cents to 37a per bunch. Bread, TOO,
the staff Of life, is enormous-the loaves
having diminished to mere Tom Thumb
size. Crackers by retail, are 8 cents In
stead of cents per pound as heretofore.
In short, the increase in the prices of pro-
visions, operates upon our community as
most onerous tax; and but for the 9TH
erwise general prosperity of the country,
and the abundant employment in most
trades, the evil would be productive of
very serious and extensive distress. The
farmers in the neighborhood, and indeed
within one or two hundred miles of Phi
ladelphia, should profit by the present
condition of affairs, and hasten their pro-

GUERRILLA WAR ON THE RIO
GRANDE.

From the n. Orleans Picayune, May IA.
An attentive correspondent at Camargo
has enclosed to US the following order, is
sued by Canales. Ii was found upon the
Alcalde of Guerrero, who was at the time
in company with one of Canales's cap
tains, and, in conjunction with him, as
was supposed, taking measures to carry
1t into effect. Lieut. BEE, of Capt. La
mars company of Rangers, happened to
come upon them, arrested them both, and
brought them to Camargo. -
From this order ii is manifest that the
guerilla mode Of warfare is to be enforced
all along the valley Of the Rio Grande.-
Ii IS moriifying to reflect that lew disor-
derly men, such as fed from the field of
battle at Buena Vista and hid themselves
in the quarries before Monterey, have. by
their murderous conduct, given color to
the charges with which Canales common
ces and lards his order; nevertheless, ii is
almost certain that the system would
have been put in practice upon the Rio
Grande, as it has been in the Central
States, had not these outrages happened.

CORRESPONDENTS Of 1Ak " bO44LE I'm
BRAsos, May 6, lS47.
Brig. Gen. CADwALLADER has arrived
here, and assumed the command Of the
lower Rio Grandc, and has established a
camp at Palo Alto, for the instruction Of
the new regiments as they arrive. About
1900 are already there, and will be great
ly augmented in few weeks. They ap-
pear TO be good class of men. We are
informed the General will make his head
ouerters at the camp, So soon as he can
complete his arrangements for forwarding
supplies.
We have no news of importance from
Gen. TAYLOR, who is al Monterey. The
year-men are about starting, and probably
not company out of all the regiments
attached TO Gen. Taylor's column can be
retained in the service. They are anxi-
Gus to return to their homes and friends,
and, more than all, are dlsgusted with the
management of the war. 1t would, how
ever, do your heart good to hear them
speak of Gen. TAYLOR.
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE PIcAYUNE.
IL CAMP, near Monterey, April %.
A train Of l27 wagons arrived from
Camargo on Friday, and brought late
mail from the States, and among il a num-
Der of communications for Gen. Taylor
from the War Department. If the ON dit
is true here, the Department has not con-
descended TO take the slightest notice Of
the Generals communications for many
months.
fear there is not much, if any, pros
pect of an onward movement, as there is
now no force adequate TO such an under
taking. The time Of nearly all tho
twelve months volunteers will expire
very shortly, and unless they should de-
sire to stay beyond their time for the pur-
pose of going to San Luis, and which it
is not likely they will do. there is no
prospect Of a speedy movement Now
is the very time when the most vigorous
measures should be pushed, and it is un-
fortunate that Gen. Taylor has been left
without adequate means to operate efec-
lively.
Accounts have been received here from
San Luis as late as the 9TH instant, and
they represent the Mexican army as en-
tirely broken up and disheartened, as well
as the people. Mr.. Freeman, an intelli-
gent American, who has lived in San Luis
for number of years, arrived yesterday
from that place. He states with the grea-
test confidence that not more than 10000
of Santa Annals army engaged at Buena
Vista reached San Luis. Hundreds de-
serted on the march, and hundreds died
on the road, or were left sick and weun-
ded. He says that the entire length Of
the road presents most sad feature
graves on every side, un5uried bodies,
sick and broken down soldiers at all the
ranchos, and every other evidence of a
routed, dispirited, starved, and broken
down army. Is it to be supposed that
Mexico ever can raise another army Of
such strength! In this region it is. the
unanimous opinion that she never can
bring such another army into the field du-
ring this war.

CAVING IN OF THE LEvEE IN n.
ORLEANS.
New ORLEANS, May 10, Is47.

The CREvAssE.-We regret to state
that a crevasse occurred in the leyee at
Algiers, opposite the city, on Saturday,
about Ii o'clock. 1t was occasioned by
a landslide, in which some thirty or forty
feet Of the leyee was at first included, but
which rapidly extended, and when we
saw it, late in the afternoon, it was one
hundred and twenty to one hundred and
fifty feet wide. The river, unfortunate
ly, is extremely high, and the country ia
the rear is from six to eight inches lower
than the surface of the water; the flood,
consequently rushes through with the We
Iocity of mill-tail. The town and coun-
try around are already covered with wa
ter, and there is at least three feet on the
race-track.
The old hull of large steamboat, full
Of water, had been placed across the ap-
erture, bui without any good effect, as
close down by her inner side, where the
Ievee existed in the morning, there is one
hundred feet water, and the current, Of
course, passes under the bottom Of the
boat without any interruption.
This crevasse, if not checked, will
probably overflow a large portion of the
plantations below the city down TO the
English Turn, and also those at Barata-
ria. The only regular outlet for the wa
ter will be Bayou Barataria, which of it
self viii be unable so disgorge it without
overaowing its banks and flooding at least
all the lower nortions of the OIanfations
alhof which we believe are, with one ex-
ception, unprotected by private levees in
the real Of their cultivated ground. 1t is
possible that the very low grounds, which
exist to large extent through that dis
trict OF country, may enable the water TO
work its way into Lake Ourcha and Lit
lie Lake, and so on to the ocean, without
rising so high as TO flood the whole sur
face of the country. We sincerely hope,
though we have not mrch confidence. that
this viii be the case.-BulIetin.
