ALMOST a RIOT,

The people of Memphis have been
laboring under good deal of excite
ment IN consequence of an attempt to
remove Bolton, who killed Mcmillan
in May last, to a distant county on a
writ of habeas corpus, for the purpose
of trial. The Memphis people claim
ed that it was a plan for Bolton, who
is very rich to make his escape, and
thus elude the justice which his crime
merits. The murder was one of ag-
gravated atrucity, and the people re-
solved that the murderer should not
escape. A public meeting was held,
a resolution requesting the withdraw
al Of the writ was passed, and COM
mittee appointed to guard tHejail.
The request was refused, and when
the sheriff went to execute the writ
by removing Bolton, he found the Jail
too strongly guarded and was forced
to retire.. Thus matters stood at'last
accounts. The people were quiet,
but firm, and seem resolved to put a
stop to the wholesale murders which
have, for the last months, disgraced
that city.

The consumers of theise two i'm
portant articles, who have been pay
ing such high prices for them for
year pact, will learn from the facts
stated in the following article from
the Boston Journal Of the 22d Of
Aug ust, why they have been SO
heavily taxed for these necessaries
of life:
I'VE understand that there is now
stored on the Boston wharf, South
Boston, in bond, over six acres of
these two articles. There are also
large quantities in other localities
What is to become of it alls There
is a similarly large stock in ell the
principal cities Of the United States,
showing clearly that it was not a
scarcity of these articles. now be-
come a necessary Of life, that has
run up the price more than double
within a year.
''There is nov in Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore,
more than three times the stock OF
sugar that there was a year since. "
The Philadelphia Enquirer says:
ave learn that a large wholesale
dealer here, who supplies many re.
tailers, reports that he has not sold a
tenth part Of the amount of these
articles this year, compared with his
former sales. Very few families use
acid fruits this year or put up pre-
serves, and every family purchases a
pound or two instead Of their usual
barrel or half barrel. Brown sugar
at IA and white at Is cents per
pound, and New Orleans molasses at
70 cents per gallon is too high for
consumption. Within a year or two
New Orleans molasses has been
there purchased at l2a cent per gal
lon."
II will thus be seen that the high
prices of sugar and mOlasses have
been the result of a monopoly Of
capitalists, and not a short CROP
1t will be further seen from the
statement Of the Boston Journal,
that these capitalists missed the
mark this time; for they still have
very heavy stocks on hand, which
they will be compelled to sell at fair
prices, for this years crop, which
now promises to be large one, will
soon be thrown upon the market,
when very considerable decline in
prices must necessarily take place,
Already has decline taken place.
A letter from New York says:
"The failure of an extensive su-
gar house in Boston is working some
mischief among the traders here,
but no suspensions are announced. -
Prices, however, are On the decline
rapidly. The demand is falling off,
and is confined mostly to refners.-
Prices have fallen fully q cents per
Id, in this market from the highest
points.
