and veteran officer is no more A tele-
graphic dispatch inthe Patriot, from ST, Louis,
announces that his death took place in that
city on the 3lst ult. He had been ill for
several weeks, and his decease had been
looked for for several days past. He served
his country CALAMITY and glorously, in Cali
fornia, during the war with Mexico, and en-
dured many hardships in that distant land,
which brought on the disease that has pre-
maturely ended his brilliant career.

HENRY CLAY has written letter, dated in
October, to Palmyra, N. Y, Wings, who
nominated him for the Presidency on the
10Th September, in which he declines as here
tofore, and says:-
81 do not wish to add to the distractions
of the existing canvass by the use of nv
name And it has been source of inexpres-
sible satisfaction to me TO find that nv friends
every where, in Difference to my feelings and
wishes, have declined to press the use of it.
They have thereby added greatly to the
weight of the many heavy obligations under
which they had previously placed me. And
beg to assure, one and all of them, that
shall throughout life cherish, in grateful re-
membrance, the signal proofs which they
have given of their affection, friendship, and
confidence"

THE AGRICULTURAL FAIR.-This fair,
under the auspices Of the Maryland State Ag-
ricul!ural Society, promisesto be one of great
interest. Everything connected with it is in
the most forward state. The blowing match
will take place to-day, and will doubtless be
exceedingly interesting. On Friday thead
dress will be delivered by Col. Wilson NJ.
Carey, of Baltimore county, after which the
various prizes will be awarded. The arrange
ments for everything likely TO be brought
are ample. Already some of the horse-ma-
chinery is on the ground, with threshing
machines, SC. The display of agricultural
machinery will, it is thought, be the best
ever exhibited in this coun,ry.--Sun.
Snow IN THE MoUNTAINs.-We are in.

returned from long Western tour, that
snow fell on the Allegheny mountains, on
Wednesday night, to depth quite sufficient

with it's white mantle. Our informant did
not appear to have suffered much from the
I''ptiless Storm" The snow will account
for the sudden change which took place in
the weather here on Wednesday night.-Sun.,
DEATH FROM HYDRoPHoBIA.-Mr VIM.
Hutton, of Elkton, after several days of
dreadful suffering from hydrophobia, died at
that place on Friday evening. He was Bit

time, but which, shortly after, discovered
indubitable signs of the hydrophobia, and
was killed Immediately, but not until it had
bitten another dog and cat, the latter of
which went mad directly.
The ARCTIC VoYAGERs.-'A good deal Of
interest has been exiled by report in Eng
land from Peel's river that the Esqnimaux
have seen some vessels to the east of the
Mackenzie river, which furnish the hope
that the long lost party of Sir John Frank
lin, in the Arctic seas, have conquered the
elements, DETECTING the long desired north
west summer passage and may at this mo-

The account was communicated to the Adj
mral,y in London by Mr.. MCPHERSON, of
the Hudson Bay Company, in letter dated
March 1st. The Montreal Herald has also
received letter from him, dated July 26th,
giving the same report. !. was brought by

DARING RoBBERY.-Yes,erday afternoon, the
bag containing the 'Way-Mai from this city to
Mobile, was stolen while the cart in which it was
placed was in front OF the Post Office. The driver
it seems, after having htched his horse went up
into the reading-room for moment; when he re-
turned, he found that the bag containing the Way
Mail was gone This was a private mail, made
up principally by the merchants of this city for the
North and East-but we understand, however,
that on this occasion, exchange bills to the large
amount of $4,000 had been sent on to,a house i'll
