LATEST INTELLIGENCE.
The fine little steamer Black Hawk,
arrived last night, and is going into the
Minnesota river trade. Col. Robertson
and others had started down to procure
boat for this purpose, not having been
able TO make terms with the Tiger. They
met the Black Hawk at Point Douglass
and returned. She is just the boat we
want for this trade.
The Franklin also arrived last night.
We select what follows from the papers:
We had the pleasure, yesterday. OF a
call from Mr.. Carey, of Philadelphia, the
very able and well known writer on po-
litical economy. He is son of the late
Matthew Carey, whose memory is hon
ored every where in the United States,
and the son honors the father. Mr.. C.
visits our part Of the country on tour of
observation, and is highly pleased with
what he has seen. To-day he goes up
on the DIR. Franklin to Minnesota
lena .Adr.

The Legislature of Illinois adjourned
last Wednesday. They passed an act ie-
gali-ing all the acts of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Ohio and Mississippi Rail-
road, (provided they needed legalizing,)

contemplate legislators thinking they

By little roundabout legislation it is
said that the power exists now to con-

ORsos HYDE REJEcrED.-The nomi-
nation of Orson Hyde as one of the Judg-
es of Utah, has been rejected by the Sem

Heavy arrivals and the considerable
reduction in the price of coffee at New
Orleans, has caused corresponding de-
cline here. The telegraph informs us of
the sale of 1000 bags on the Dist inst. at
8 cents. This has quite upset previous
quotations here, and holders of recent ar
rivals have sent their consignments to
store, rather than submit tc the views of
buyers. Good Rio cannot find purchas-
crS at over 8 Is and 9 10 cents, and
prime at 8 So cents.-N. Louis News.
1t may now be considered ali Z, tabiisl.-
ed rule as long as the Democratic party
lasts, that it is certain death to a Demo-
cratic aspirant to the Presidency to have
his name breathcd. in connection with
the office, before the meeting of the
Democratic Convention, charged with the !
nomination Of the candidate. No Demo-
Graf, prominent enough in the nation or
in his party to be talked of or even men
toned as Il candidate for the Presidency,
can ever hope to obtoin the ofice.-Lou-
isrHfe Jour.
WHrcH GEN. PIERCE is 1T PIT is

New York, stating merely that Gen.
Pierce had been nominated, sixteen Gen
erals of the name cf Pierce received the
congratulations of their friends upon the
fortunate result, not one of whom doubt
ed for an instant that he was the happy
man, as he had never heard of another
bearing the same name and title.-Cin.

Mr.. CLAY.-At the last accounts from
Washington, Mr.. Clay was gradually
sinking. The now attcnuated frame is
gradually failing, though sustained by lit
tie else than the force of his calm and
collected mind.
