British Provision Trade-A London letter under
date Of October 18th, from mercantile house ex-
tensyely engaged in the trade, says: " We have the
which YOU will see the comparative imports for the
last three years. the present year showing an excess OF
$4,000 packages Of American Bacon more than the
last The general expectation with us is that prices
must be very low the approaching season from the
increase of hogs in ireland and Germany, and the
very great production of hogs and all kinds of meat
in this country more than usual We incline TO the
opinion that should the same quantity and quality Of
American come to this market the next sdurlng the
past season, one half of it will have to be sold for
soap purposes. You will have heard that our Gov
eminent contract for Pork was taken at los U rWt
less than last year. which think is pretty fair
criterion Of the market.

The Cane CTOp.-Un TINS SUBJECT the Baton
Rouge Gazette of the 9th ult. says:
Sugar making has become general in this and
the nelghborng parishes. On most of the river
plantations the cane is Short and therefore aver
are crop will not BE- realized the rpcns slow
w. We have seen samples of sugar from several
plantations, and they are generally of superior
quality. The weather is very favorable for hauling
the cane at present, and should it continue for two
weeks longer most Of the sugar crop will be secur-
ed.o
The Point Coupee Echo, of the same date, has
the following:
esThe weather continues lovely October is truly
the saddest sweetest month of all the year in the
South. We have not yet had sufficiently cool
weather to ripen the cane There is a general com,
plant that the yield is very light. We have heard
of one or two instances where from forty to fifty
acres of apparently fine canes ground, which
welded but twelve or fifteen ho,sheads."

Houses on Ships DeckS.-The Boston journal
ably rebulcs the practice of erecting these trail
fabrics in such insecure positions, and says Several
cases have recently occurred, in which the danger OF
the custom has been clearly manifested One was
that of the brig Encanacon, from this port for Val
paraiso, which has been reported put into Rio in
distress A letter from Captain Lewis states that
the sea which disabled his vessel swept the cabin
from the deck, and with it the second mate and
ererv compass they had on board-so that they
were obliged to steer by the sun and stars for a
week or more Another that OF the brig Chath,
am. also from this port TO- California, which was
spoken when but a few days out, making for Rio,
with the loss of her house off deck, and all her in
struments, having been boarded by heavy sea dur
ing severe gale. These, and other instances OF a
similar nature have awakened attention to the sub
iect and the system meets with but little favor
from the mercantile community, and we trust will
soon be discontinued entirely. 1t is well known
that goods shipped deck liable to be lost, and
a large premium is charged by the underwriters to
cover the risks upon them, while such thing as
underwriting on deck risks by the year is unknown
The question may well be asked if these houses upon
deck are not as much more exposed to the action
of the sea than goods shipped upon the deck. The
underwriters in such not liable for damage
to merchandise by exposure or wet, but they are
made to paw heavily for damage to these houses, IN
some cases. particularly for their fine finish, carved
work, windows, SC. which, were they requested to
insure as deck risk, they would not write upon at
all.

EDITORIAL STATE CONVENTION.


We are glad to see the press in this Stale
making a wholesome move to bring about the
rights to the large mass Of reading communi
ty--and striving to havejustice done to pub
fishers of newspapers, who have for so long
been wronged and misused by the unjust
dealings of members OF Congress-; but the
time is fast approaching that they will be
made TO feel it sense ofduty TO act for the
interest and public good generally. To do
this they must repeal the Postage law SO far
as to limit newspaper publishers to send their
papers free through the Counties where pub
lished, and if there is a bill OF this kind
brought up and passed it will receive the
sanction of every man, woman and child in
the Union, for there is nothing of more im
portance, and every eye is anxiously turned
| 10 see that something will be done TO en-
courage and strengthen the press, which the
wisdom of Congress must determine to put
into operation Immediately to enable printers
and the country to continue to prosper

which is only an outrageous burthen for the
