FRUIT CRor AT THE NoRTH.-The Northern
papers tell us that it is now reduced to GER
tainty that in Delaware there will be but
half Of peach crop, while in New Jersey there
will be but quarter crop. Prices, in conse-
quence, are at least 100 per cent. above the
rates last year. Farmers writing from all parts
of Western New York represent the crop of
apples as good, but in the southern part the
opposite is the case. The same is true Of the
apple crop in most parts of New Jersey. In
Delaware the prospect is better.

1 FROM VENEZUELA following intelligence
was received by the schooner st. Mary, which
arrived at New York on the 10th instant, from
Puerto Cabello. Wecut it from the correspond
ence of the New York Express
| PoRTo CABELLo, July Is, 1854. 4
As informed you in my former letters, the
province of Coro pronounced against the Mon
aras Government, and Immediately after, the
4 whole province of Barquisemeto also took up
arms against the Government, and now the i'm
portant province of La Portuguese and the can
ton El Baul, in the Llanos or Plains of the pro-
vince of Carabobo, have likewise reyolted against
Monagas.
Col Juan Garoes, on his march towards Bar
quisimeto to join his friends, OF the head OF
brave band of about five hundred men, was be-
trayed by one of his officers, who went over to
| Gen Falcon, the commandant of the Govern.
ment forces. This enabled Falcon to surprise
with much superior force the brave little band
commanded by Garces. The latter fought like
o lion, but finally had to surrender his sword
to his opponent who, after receiving it, assas-
snated in cold blood, Garces, and the whole OF
his party.
This news has produced the most intense ex-
citement, and will bring upon the heads of the
devoted followers of Monagas the severest retri-
button. Garces was the most popular man in
Coro, and was adored by the people.
July 26.-This place is this morning in the
greatest confusion and alarm and there is much
hurrying to and fro among the officials.
The cause of all this alarm is that we have
just received the confirmation of the pronuncia.
miento or revolt of the whole province of Ell Qua
rico, which bounds on the province of Caracas
the seat of Government.
Intelligence has also just been received thai
the insurgent forces of Barquisimeto, to thu

} the Canton Of Tinaco, in the same province o
Carabobo.
P. Must as the st. Mary, which takes thi
, letter, is about sailing, we have been furthe,
surprised by the arrival of an express to the au
thorities with communications from Gen. Silva
| requiring further supply of men and money, a
the insurgent forces of Barquisimeto were march

believe the English Governments is, that Espar-

A DESPERATE MAN KILLED.-We learn from
the East Missssippian, De Kalb county, that
on the 9Th inst. an ARRAY occurred about one
mile from the town Of De Kalb, in which man
named Hall was killed. Deceased previously
had difficulty with one DR.. Brown, and had
attempted to shoot him. A warrant was issued
for his arrest, and placed in the hands Of the
county sheriff, Mr.. Gully, who started in COM

of the offender. Hall resisted the arrest, and
fred upon Gully with pistol, wounding him
twice severely. He then attempted to make
his escape. but was shot dead by one of the
party, Mr.. Benjamin Netherly, who was armed
with double barreled shot gun.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR, DATED
Philaielphia, March 90, 1851. {

HtuuttpHu, Jhbt I" -"j 'S"f
The weather for The last few days has
changed from, not only moderate, but warm,
10 extreme cold. II is these sudden changes |
and variableness of climate that operates so |
seriously upon invalids and persons of frai
constitutions. few days since il was so
warm that persons walking in the streets,
would seek the shady side, now it is so cold
that over.coa,s are Indispensable.
Philadelphia is now doing brisk business.
Her merchants are doing as much as they
can well desire. Manufacturers, mechanics
and all, are doing nourishine business
Yet in New York, il is said, ,ha, business is
extremely dull. This, of course, is owing 10
the superior facilities of Philadelphia in
sending goods 10 the west by railroad and
canal.
The New York canal will not be opened
for some weeks, and the hatbors of Buffalo
and Dunkirk are still locked mp in ice. The
Pennsy ylvania Railroad is crowded with busi-
ness These thugs are opening the eyes of
even the most increjulous to the importance
of the Suubury and Erie road. There is
now but one opinion, and that is the road
must be made aud that as soon as possible.
The Harrisburg and Reading rail road was
let few days since. A gentleman by the
name of Reilly got hree-foutihs Of the whole
and The other fourth was allotted TO George
NJ. Lapman g. Co. This road will be one of
the principal links, connecting the Sunbury
and Erie TO Philadelphia. The route is
most favorable one, and the highest grades
does not exceed twenty three feet TO the
mile. This road, in connection with the
Susquehanna, will, when finished, bring
Sunbury within five hours of Philadelphia, a
consumation devouiIy to be wished for.
The City Councils met this evening for
the purpose Of adopting measures in relation
to the subscription 10 the Sunbury and Erie
road The committee, however, was not
ready 10 repor: and the matter was adjourned
over until Thursday a week. There was
some little dissatisfaction with some, who
intimated that the Conncils wished 10 evade
making the subscription until the new Coun.
ellis were elected. There is not, | think
any lOuUudllOl W udtefeI
+ know iha, number of the Councils are al
jealous in favor of the subscription, as the
= best friends of the road can be, and one o
them informed me this evening, that al
would he right beyond any question or doubt
but there were certain matters that coul(
4 not and would no, be hurried.
:, The nomination of Judge Pollock for Gov
ernor seems TO be well received in this city

i pectalions of his election. One of the viii
c delegates of the city said 10 me few day
since that elements were now at work, tina

O- A correspondent of the Public Ledger
says;-The House OF Representatives were
engaged upon the prohibiiory liquor ques-

at the next general, election, with a bill
annexed without being enacted it was

burst forth in demolshing in an instant, a
portion of the jail enclosure. At the same

prisoner brought out. He was immediatelv

Clarendon, brough, TO his Lordship's atten.
ton and inlimaied 10 him the propriety of
emancipa,ing Smith O'Brien from his con-
demnaiion and banishment TO the Australian
Island. He had the qualification, on the day
succeeding, not only to find the subject in
iroduced into the British Parliament, but
also TO hear Lord Palmerston announce to the
House that the Government had authorized
his release from exile and bondage. So
Smith 0'Brien, whose only offending consist

but too well, is now emancipaed and re-
