A SHORT SUPPLY OF TEAs.-It has been sta
ted recently that the export of teas from China
for the past six months is considerably in excess
Of last years shipments. This is an error, as
appears by a statement of exports to the United
States since June Both, including all exports
from Shanghai, to the 18th December last. The
exports for the period named were only 9,445,936
lbs, while for the corresponding period of 1852
they reached p, O92 1873 lbs, being decrease of
I5,656,00 lbs. The falling off in Young Hysons
and Ouong alone, it is said, is 10000,OO0 lbs.
Several first class clippers, with valuable cargoos
of teas, have arrived at New York within the last
two weeks. One cargo was sold at auction on
Friday, and drew numerous company. The
bidding was very spirited and the prices realized
showed an Improvement upon previous quota
tons. Young Tyson sold at from 294 TO 42 Gun
powder 80 }9c.

A Nut FOR ABOIIroN1sM.-A bill has recent
ly passed the Senate of Virginia, for the purpose
of allowing certain free negroes in the county o,
Noltoway to enslave themselves. These negroes
have earnestly petitioned to the Legislature for
this privilege. Mr.. Campbell, the able aud est.
mable Senator from the Nottoway district, in ma
king statement of the facts to the Senate, said
that they had been manumtted by the will of II
gentleman in his district, aud that their desire
was to be sold to their late masters next of kin.
large number of respectable citizens of Motto
way, feeling an interest in the negroes for their
good character, added their recommendations for
the same object. The bill has passed the Senate,
and we have no doubt will pass the other House.
This simple fact is an answer in itself to the
thousand libellous accounts of the horrors of
slayery,to which the prolific imagination of aboi-
tionism every day gives birth.-Richmond Dis

ing upon Mr.. james Lyons, of Richmond To
an interrogatory of Mr. w Lyons, as to wheth-
CT Mr.. Ridgway WAS the author of the article.
the latter responds in the Affirmative. Mr.. l..

aad time, suting his earliest convenience, he
would be Ia receive another note with a view To- Il
final arrangement of matters. In reply. Mr.
Ridgway names Browns Hotel. Washington, as
the place, and Monday, September IL, as the

gests the following basis OF settlement:
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10th, 1851
Having heard of the difficulty between W. H.
Lyons and Il. Ridgway. Jr., aud having read the
article in the Wing of September 2nd, 1851, and
the correspondence which it has produced be-
tween those gentlemen, | submit to them the fol
lowing rs my views of the same &:
From an intimate personal knowledge of the
character of MIR. James Lyons, | know that the
article of which Mr.. Il. acknowledges himself the
author, Is uni and | am confident that had
Mr.. Rldgway been personally acquainted with
him. that that article would not have been writ
ten. Mr.. Ridgway must appreciate the high and
honorable feelings that have prompted Mr.. VIM.
II. Lyons to make the call ho has made ON him,
and his right to make that call. | therefore
think that the difficulty should be adjusted by
Mr.. Lyons Withdrawing his letter of the 9TH
inst, calling on Mr.. Ridgway to fix time of
meeting, and that Mr.. Ridgway should retract the
paragraphs Of the article signed r., retlectngon
MIR James Lyons | have acted in this matter
as the personal friend of both these gentle
men. HENRY L. Irvine.
TO this proposition of settlement, the friends
of the principals to the affair assent in the fol-
lowing note:
As the respective friends of both Mr.. w. IL.
Lyons and Mr.. X. Ridgway Jr., we concur in the
above adjustment.
