Summary of News

A terrific tornado visited the city of Louisville
KY, on Sunday last the 9th inst. The Third Pres
byteran church, ON the corner of Eleventh and Wal
nut streets, completely wrecked and the entire
building fell in, including the roof, raers, and brick
walls, crushing twenty of the congregation to death,
and woundng seriously ten 10 twenty others. Fully
ed and otherwise injured The loss of property is
estimated at $780, 900. 1t is feared that other acct
dents to life may have occurred.
The extreme heat and long continued want of rain
is severely felt at the North and North west. Not
only have the crops suffered, but the woods have
been, and are still, afre in different places and 10 an
alarming extent, especially in the State of Maine, as
also in Canada West, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, and Ohio. There is scarcely q town
within range of fifty miles from the city of Bangor
that has not suffered, more less The Millerites
are enjoying sort of melancholy rejoicing in the
idea that the earth is getting dried up in preparation
for the last grand burning.
Advices from the city of Mexico to the 18th inst
received by the Orzaba, at New Orleans, the 25th
inst, state that Count Roussett de Boulbon and other
French officers recently arrested had been sentenced
to be shot on the 10TH so that if the sentence was
not RENTED they are dead by this time. In some
portions of Mexico they have been suffering from ex
teme drought, as they have been in some portions Of
this country
An election for a member of the Common Council
to supply vacancy occasioned by death, held
in the first ward of Washington City, on the 20lh
inst, and resulted in the choice of Rev. Chas. A
Davis, g the friend of civil and religious liberty,
who received 300 votes. Luther r. Smoot, the
" Know Nothing" candidate, received 293.

New Orleans, the number of cases by that disease
for the week ending Aug, Goth heVing been !l8.-
Since that time, the number Of cases has been greater
than before. The near approach of cooler weathe
encourages the hope that the disease will be checked

Wheat.

u
For the week, ending August 9Th, the weather in
England had been unpropitious for the outstanding
crops, and as q consequence much anxiety was mani
fest, with disposition to purchase. In some cases
a rise of IS. 5s. effected. 1t is understood that
the harvests cannot in any event, be over an ave.
rage, and the anxiety with which deficient yield is
dreaded may be illustrated in the fact OF the estimate
of the Messrs. Surge, that the stock of old Wheat
in the hands of farmers is now much less than IN
any period since 1847 and probably tire millions Of
quarters short of what it mme lately before the
last harvest and the quantity of Foreign Wheat Aeh
in the United Kingdom, (chiefy in London,) ncu,
ding that on the passage may amount TO 1r0 nations
of quarters one-thid to half less than in 1853
That is to say the quantities now 100000
quarters against 100000 quarters last year
nasmuch as that England has imported g. million
quarters, it follows that her consumption has been
124 million or lO0,00O,O0O bushels more than her
production, and the prices remained at 69s. per
quarter 1t is stated that France will have, on the
WHOLE an average, of which, however, many dealers
entertain grave doubts. The crops of Italy good
but those of the North of Europe are yet in doubt
and the crops of Spain is good. In ordinary years
such for instance as 1852, Russia, North and South
has supplied one-ffth of the English importatiOns
that supply, at least, will be cut Off and that wheel
Egypt may have to spare will probably be wanted
for the allied armies.
Under these circumstances it cannot be inferred
that with the best results to the British harveSts the
year 1S54'5 will be one of low prices. At the pre-
sent moment prices are higher in the United States
than in England, an unusual circumstance at the
close of an active year. 1t has occurred this year
through the influence of early sales in the winter
supplied by means of railroads while the ioFelgn
prices at the highest. In some former years il
has happened that Flour has been held by bank
means continually above shipping rates. until the
market broke here on the opening of navigation -
This year the whole surplus went out of the couo,
try at high rates. leaving supply for home dem2oi
so deficient as to sustain the rates after the la'
abroad. The farmers have thus got full rates to
the whole crop and there is every prospect that the
whole of the growing crop will sell equally well.

New Hanover County.

We wish to call the attention of our fellow Demo-
Gratis. throughout the County, to the fact that an
election will have to be held, between this time and
the meeting of the Legislature, in November next
TO supply the vacancy in the representation IN the
House of Commons occasioned by the resignation of
COL Person. We presume that His Excelency the
Governor, in issuing his writ for new election, will
fix the day sufficiently late to admit of careful de-
liberation in the selection of a candidate. Such de-
liberation, we trust will not be neglected. We
would suggest the holding of a Convention at Long
Creek, or some other central point in the County,
where delegates might meet and agree upon a
proper man. Of course, this is merely sug-
gestion thrown out for the consideration of
our friends generally Next Monday week the
County Court will commence it's sessions, and Tues
day of Court week would perhaps be the most proper
time to decide upon the course TO be pursued. We
ask it, as favor that our Democratic friends through
out the county, without reference to any by-gones
should consult together among themselves, between
now and Court week, and that those who visit town
on that occasion should post themselves up upon the
wishes of their respective sections. We have had
enough of heart burningS. Let US now 90 only fol
what is best for the party and the county.

The Chinese Fight in California.

We have received several accounts Of the recent
battle among the Chinese in Trinity county Cali
orna. 1t appears that the parties met in all their
accustomed modes of warfare-their banners, shields
ances and helmets, the used in their wars at
home. They were des gnated the small and large
party-the former consisting of lao men, and the
latter of about 400. The conflict was short but de-
strnctlVe The small party victorious, killing
eight of the larger party and driving them from the
ground and capturing their flag trophy of vic
tory while the small party had but two killed
One white man, who had gone in for fun was killed
The Weaversyllle correspondent of the Yeka Herald
says:
The contest grew out of dispute about small
gambling debt, the controversy ending in personal
encounter, which aroused sectional and political
difficulty for a long time existing among them in
their Oriental home. The two parties were very
unequally divided on the occasion, one party num-
bering over four hundred the other less than one
hundred and twenty; the smaller party being much
more dangerous than the larger and most anxious
for the fray. Some OF the citizens promised the les
party fair show in the fight, and sided with
them on account of their inferority of numbers -
The two parties were stationed opposite sides of a
raVine, where there much good generalship
shown by both parties. The larger party attempted
to outttank the smaller one, which they were deferred
from doing by the citizens, who manifested great
desire for fair play. The small party kept in close
column, bravey daring their numerous enemies to
make the charge, it had been agreed TO be hand
to-hand conflict. Not succeeding in their induce
ments, the smaller party made the charge across the
ravlne, with terrible bravery and blood thirsty fero-
city, killing and wounding, as before stated They
fought with spears and large forks made for the
purpose The greatest utility of the fork was mani
tested in only instance, in pinnng man to the
ground. and leaving him there in agonizing death
The charge lasted about three minutes, resulting in
the entire route of the large party, they being, I'M
doubtedy, ntimdated by the citizens firing pistols
and throwing stones among them. All who witness
sed the charge agree that it was of the most despe-
rate characrer. Many veterans of the Mexican wal
were present as spectators and all agree that more
brilliant or successful charge was made by
our troops during the war.
