RUMoRED RESURRECTION IN VIRGtNIA.-The Pc
tersburg (va) Ne,os publishes extract from n
letter written by cadet of the Virginia Military
Institute at Lexington, in which it is stated that
there was much alarm in that vicinity account
of an apprehended instruction of the negroes. A
letter found about four miles from Lcxing tom sup
posed to have been written by n negro Baptist
preacher, and containing plan Of hostile proceed
ings, had given rise to the excitement The off,
Ger in command of the cadets of the Institute had
been notified, and the force under his command
was fully prepared for any emergency that might
arise. We hope and believe that the report is i'll
founded; but should it prove otherwise, and any
hostile manifestation be made by the negroes, i.
will only end, as all similar movements have done,
in the immediate and utter discontinue of those
engaged in it, and the summary execution of the
ringlcaders. As for any general outbreak the thin q
is absurd and impossible

MONEY AND STOCK MARKET.

WAsHtNoToN, JAN. TO- 1851
There has been very great rise in most of the
prominent stocks in New York as well as Govern
ment securities, and it is the general opinion (of
the bulls) that they must go still higher. The
money market was remarkably easy before the Let
instant, and loans made good securities
at per cent; and now, that many millions
have been thrown on the market by dividends. and
the arrivals from California, may look for still
larger advance in the speculative, and in good
stocks and bonds. The scarcity Of silver attracts
much attention, and even small gold is very diff
cult to obtain By the mint report that over
twenty millions OF dollars have been coined into
double eagles; these go at once into the hands of
banks and bankers who them mostly to pay
to each other. There is nothing SO much needed
in the District the country silver coin. for
the present coinage altogether inadequate to the
public wants, and unless it is increased and that
speedily, we shall be again deuged with irredeem-
able small paper

The New YoRK FUGITIvE CAsE.-The Philadel-
phia North american of Thursday gives the follow
ing account of the arrival Of the fugitive Long in
that city, and his departure thence for Richmond
"Long left New York for Richmond by the FIVE
O'Clock line, in custody of Deputy U States Mar
shals Talmadge, Brown, and De Angels He
guarded to Jersey City by large police force.
The United States officers, with their prisoner,
were met last night, on the arrival of the at
the Kensington depot, by Deputy United States
Marshals Smith and Halzel, of this city, supported
by thirty officers under Police Marshal Keyser.
"The negro was conveyed from Kensington in
custody of the United States officers, and detail
of Marshal Keyser's officers, in one of Glenat's
omnibuses, to the Baltimore depot corner of Elev-
enh and Market streets, where he placed in the
cars, and started for the South in charge of officers
Talmadge, Brown, and De Angels, OF New York.
"The marshal of police also had party of his Off
cers stationed at the Baltimore depot for the pur-
pose Of preventing any breach of the peace. No
disturbance whatever, though, occurred. The
slave was taken through Philadelphia without the
slightest excitement"
The Baltimore Patriot of yesterday says:
"The fugitive slave, Long, passed through Bal.
timore yesterday, in charge of officers from New
York, and is doubtless in possession of his
owner in Richmond
The Richmond Enquirer of yesterday morning
contains the following:
" Henry Long, the fugitive slave, arrived in
Richmond last evening, in the northern cars, in
the custody Of the United States deputy marshal of
New York, police officers, Dr. Parker &C."
The Fugitive Slave law has therefore been fully
tested and carried into effect.

There is a great to do among our city fathers in
regard to the appointment of agents for the McDo-
nogh estate. Mayor Jerome, SO far, has nullified
all their doings. The council seemed disposed 20
take the appointment of agents upon themselves;
this the mayor thinks his right, and 80 the matter
goes.
The work for the erection Of the Maryland Insti
tute Hall has now commenced in good earnest; the
pile-drivers at work preparing for the founda
ton; when completed il will be fine improve
ment to the city, and an honor to those who pro-
jected it.

VERY LATE FROM PERU AND BoLIvIA.-Wc have
advices from Lima to December 9, just month
ago. The Presidency of General Castillo expires
have taken the field for the succession. The three
most prominent are Generals Echenique, Vivanco,
and Elias, men who have already figured extern
sively in Peruvian affairs. Echenique, President
of the Council of State ID supported by the Gov
eminent, and thought to have plurality of the
Presidential electors in his favor. Vivanco, with
a large portion of the people devoted to his inter-
ests, is sustained by Generals Moran, San Roman,
and other leading men, while Elias, having entered
the lists at late day, may perhaps possess less
personal influence, but has gold, important
element in this conflict AS there is little no
probability that either of these candidates will OBJ
tain majority of the electoral votes, the election
must GO before the Congress, which meets in July,
and in the interval between the close of Castilla's
term (20th ApriD and the meeting Of Congress
(July) Echcnique, now President of the Council,
will assume the duties of the Executive. This step
will be violently opposed by vivanco, Elias, and
their adherens, and the people of Ercquipa, espe-
cially, have declared that under circumstances
will they submit to Echenique. Thus a civil war
seems inevitable, and the re-cnactment of those
scenes which have made Peru republic only in
name.
In Bolivia majority of the people have declared
in favor of recalling General Santa Cruz to the Pre-
sidency. He is now residing in Paris, as Envoy
and Minister from Bolivia to several European
powers. Ballivian is in Buenos Ayres, prisoner
to Rosas.-N. y. Journal of Commerce.

PROBABLE Boon FOR GRUMBLING SHAvERs.-M.
Boudet, French chemist, in communication to
the Journal de Pharmdcie, gives the following for
mula for depilatory: "Take of sulphurite of So
dunn, or hydrosulphate of soda, chrystalized, 3
parts; quick lime, in powder, 10 do; starch, TO-;
mix. This powder mixed with little water, and
applied over the skin, acts so rapidly depato-
ry, that if it be removed in a minute two after
its application by means of wooden knife, the
surface of the skin will be entirely deprived of hair.
BY this process the removal of the hair becomes so
simple, rapid, and safe in operation, that it will
probably supersede the use of the razor in many
cases. 1t may be applied to parts the most deli
cate, as well as irregular, and to surfaces either
limited or extended, and it is only after several
days that the hair begins to reappear"

or more gratifying to the philanthropy, and the
benignity. and the galantry of the thousands of

The SCARCITY OF SILvER,-Thc Philadelphia
North american is of opinion that the radical cause
of the silver scarcity in the United States is TO be
traced to our unnatural revenue system, by which
we arc rendered the tributaries of all Europe. IL
makes our trade losing one. We must pay our
balances in the precious metals; and our customers
choose to be paid in silver, instead of gold because
circumstances give them, in the former, advan-
tage, in the shape of additional profit which, it
appears, they estimate at three per cent
