IF The Lynchburg Express has certainly
made the ameade to Mr.. WEsT, on the subject
of the Tobacco Reports, very handsomely
But when it says that Richmond is well
known to be lower market for tobacco than
Lynchburg," he says what will not, of course,
be conceded. The claim is one that, however
often asserted or denied, W i'll at last be settled
by the only true test-actual sales. They who
have tobacco for sale will find out the truth by
that, and it is very idle for either Richmond
or Lynchburg to suppose that an isolated pur
chase, at very high rate, is TO be considered
as an element of this test. So far from that being
standard, it will produce more dissatisfaction
than good will towards market. Ii one man
in Ieighborhood gets an enormously high
price for dscarfed hogskead, he does not get
great deal after all, and his numerous neigh.
bors, who have as good tobacco, will feel very
much displeased that they received SO much
less Tor theirs. A market which is SO costive
and restricted with its maximum, will hardly
gain much by it.

DESTRUCTIVE EARTHaUAKE.-We have al
ready published brief Geographic announce
ment of destructive earthquake at Cumana.
The information was brought to Philadelphia
by the schooner New Republic. arrived Thurs
day from Puerto Cabelio, port of Venezue-
la, South America. Cumana is the capital of
the province of that name in Venezuela. 1t
stands on sandy plain on the east bank of
the Manzanares, near the mouth of the Gulf
of Cairaco. Its population is about 900 or
5000. 1t has suffered greatly at different
times from earthquakes. 1t is the oldest
European city on the new continent, being
built by Diego Castelton in 1923. In 1866 il
was almost totally destroyed by an earthquake
on which account the houses since built have
been generally low, but many of the buildings
are quite handsome. The recent earthquake
happened On the 18Th July. A number of
houses were destroyed and more than three
hundred persons were buried in the ru ins.-
There are no further particulars.

PUNISHMENT FOR PERJURY IN TURKEY.-A
rather singular scene took place on the 22d of
September, at Adrianople. Two men, the
chiefs of a neighboring village, who had been
found guilty Of perjury, were promenaded
through the bazaar, mounted on donkey,s, with
their faces turned towards the tails of the ami
mails, and having their heads dressed out in
grotesque manner, with the hairy part Of
sweeping brush on their forehead, and some
cloves Of garlick round their neck. They were
proceeded by the public crier, who announced
the crime of which they had been guilty. After
being thus for some time exposed to the hoot-
ings of the people, they were taken to the court
of the palace, where they were dismissed, and
declared incapable of ever holding any public
Office The offenders had been bribed to give
evidence that the widow of a Turk, recently
dead had been delivered of child, afterwards
deceased, and which circumstance of the birth
would make the widow the sole heir of all her
late husbands property. The relations Of the
husband, however, interfered, and clearly
proved the guilt of the witnesses, and they were
condemned to the punishment aforementioned.

WHAT BECOMES OF ALL THE VEssELs?-The
Boston Atlas gives some interesting facts in
relation to the destruction of vessels belonging
to the United States, deduced from the marine
reports and other sources. 1t appears that,
for period of eighteen months, ending in
September of the present year, l03 ships and
barks, l44 brigs, and s27 schooners were totally
lost at sea. During the same period, 80 YES.
sells, which had previously sailed, were never
heard from, 33s put into port in distress, and
lO2 wrecks were passed. This is, says the
writer, total loss for the period of one every
% hours; one stranded every A hours; one
abandoned every IS hours; and one never
heard from every 10 days.
