LITTLE Rock, Sept. 9Th, 1S49.
Dear CZarke:-In an unuckv hour | promised
10 write you letter two from Little Rock and
slow you were not, in taking the same offer up.
But that promise is always to be understood to
mean, when there is any thing to write about.
For in these dog days of September with the ther.
mometer at 80 in the shade, what is left for one
to do, but to sit cross-legged like Hindoo Brah-
min in the shade TO eat boiled rce and sip cof-
fee, like regular Chinese with quill two feet
long and beard ditto?
Dizziness seems to have settled down over the
place like pail, and the usual stimulants to choler
and to conversahon-namely, politics, seem want
ing.
Everything goes on nearly as usual. A few
quiet loungers usual congregated about the
Anthony House under the shade of the china trees
but even their loquacity is at an end and as the
ice Is wanting there is conside able falling off in
the cocktails and juleps.
The only exception to the general inactivity is
in the Corporation-who seem 10 have suddenly

town branch however rema ins obstnate-and will
not turn out of its usual course to oblge any body
which has so stirred up the ire of the good citizens
here, that they have got up petition, resolutions
ormemoria to the Legislature of the State, praying
relief in the premises-which is very we'll in its
way considering the premises it has injured, and
the unslghtly appearance it presents, being parti-
cularly green IN spots just at this time.
The new whig office holders look just as they

The DISTURBANCES IN MoNrREAL.-Of tho dis
turbances in Montreal, can only eDlighten our
readers by giving them what we meet with in
our exchanges. We copy from the Montreal Ga
1ette, of the 18th ultimo, the following:
The foundation of good deal of excitement
was laid yesterday, and, fear, of an excite
ment which, if proceedings go on, will lead to re.
suits of no small Importance.
1t is stated that Gen. Rowan commander of the
forces, had left town, intending to be absent for
some time, and was at the Caledonia Springs
where despatch reached him on Saturday last
requiring his immediate presence in Montreal. On
arrival, 1t is said, he made acquainted with
TWO Iacts, the one, that Lord Elgln was Immediate
'y going to leave the country, and the other, that
the political arrests so long talked OF we're at last
resolved upon Arrangements were made on
Monday for the speedy passage of troops from the
Island of St. Helen to the city, TO reinforce the
garrison in case the civil power should be over
powered. The Crton's CIub-a secret society.
whose numbers and objects are unknown-were
called upon yesterday evening by handbls, to be
prepared for any emergency,a at moments warn

the contemplated folly of the Government, al
though we cannot positively tell.
" 1t Is known that Lord Elgin's movables |

last night that he departs for England to-day or

when he is actually to go.
