MEIGGs N TALCAuUANA,-By the arrival of
the schooner Minna. Capt. Pulsipker. forty
four days from VALPARAISO, we have few ad-
dtional particulars OF Henry Meiggs. We
are Informed by the supercargo, Mr.. Pollard,
tia. passenger from Talcshuna, who came
up IN The schooner. states that Meggs has
purchased country Scat near THAI place,
where he lives an entirely secluded life with
his family The circumstances of his flight
are perfectly well known throughout Chill
There is no treaty in force between the Repub-
lie of Chill and the United States, by which
criminals can b. demanded; the only interna-
tional law of the kind existing being the pro-
vision Of the Ashburton treaty to that effect

THE WHEAr-We are sorry to learn that
the whea: in this vicinity has suffered more
by the frost than was at first supposed An
experienced farmer assures US that several large
fields a few miles west of this city, were exam
ined carefully on Saturday, and il was found
in erery case utterly ruined. Except where
protected by fences or bushes, there is not a
grain saved The fields won't make a bu>hel
10 the acre. This is sad news indeed, but We
have good reason 20 think that the injury has
no. been SO severe in all parts of the county.
We lave heard several farmers say that their
wheat was not damaged, and others that
theirs, / ough injured. would recover, and
make a partial crop. If we should say that
hair'he ,rheat IF this county was destroyed by
the frost. presume we would not exagger-
ale the matter.
The corn Is generally, So far as We have
learned. doing pretty well, though some of it
was killed rather too dead to come up aeain.
Many farmers ave replanted, and with a fair
season we shall still have an syarage crop of
corn, or more. From other parts the State,
we hear that the wheat has been good deal
injured. Ia tie Wabash valley il has suffered
severely and throughout the northern part Of
the State. In the South there appears to have
been little or Frost and We learn that the
Last escaped pretty well
Nothern Indiana and Illinois have borne the
worst Of the freeze, though tie Terre Haute
Express says that the wheat IN Eastern Illinois
has suffered severely. Abundant crops in
other States are promised, however. and with
out serious mischance We shall have a Weld
heavy enough to cut prices down below ''.;ar-
