Chinese Sugar Cane.

From repeated applications to US for informa-

paper-bound volume containing full instructions
in regard to the culture of the Cane and the
manufacture of sugar. The Richmond South

BREACH OF PROMISE CAsE.-Dama9e $50, 900.
"A case Of no little interest to fashionable cir
ces in this city, has just been entered upon, and
reveals the following state of affairs. 1t would
appear from the legal papers in the case that, in
1853, the plaintiff, a young gentleman of New
York, named Moses Inglee, became acquainted,
during tour in Italy, with the youthful widow
of the late Amos Rpney, of this city and mu-
tual regard springing up, the two pledged them
selves to matrimonial alliance on th4ir return
home. The plaintiff alleges that he was ever
ready to perform his part or the contract, but
that the lady, after her return home, by various
devices postponed the fulflment of the agree
ment, until at last, with utter disregard of lis
rights under her promise, she deserted him alto

The New Market Law.

The new Market law for the town OF Staun-
ton, published in this paper, will attract the at
tenton of citizens ofthe town and neighborhood.
We would regard the Ordinance as oppressive,
if we believed it could be enforced. Some OF its
provisions require explanation. For instance,
is it intended to prohibit grocers and shop-keep-
ers from selling butter, eggs, apples, oranges,
cheese &C., at their ordinary places OF business
Again, are citizens liable to penalty tor having
butter and eggs delivered at their houses under
contracts with country producers? The 9th
Section is rather unique. According to Its III
eral Interpretation, an individual purchasing SIX
dozen eggs at Market and disposing OF part OF
them to a friend, as O mere matter of accommo-
dation, may be fined two dollars! Is this the
intention of our City FathersG The whole
scheme seems to us likely to injure the bust
ness of the town, instead of encouraging the
bringing of produce to market. People living
in the country will decline to bring their produce
to town for sale, and the consequence will be
great scarcity and high prices for all marketable
commodities.
The Council may rest assured that this ordin-
ance will not do. It's impossible to leglsate a
market into existence, as will be discovered be-
fore the middle of September. All such laws
should be framed with view to the regulation
of trade after the market has been voluntarily
organized, with the mutual agreement of buyer
and seller, and according to the necessities OF
the community. Any law which is designed to
force tire people into measures and deprives them
of privileges TO which they have long been &C
customed, will inevitably prove dead letter.

THE PRICE OF SUGAR-The New York Poet
of Friday says, with reference to the Sugar mar
ket. present prices are about two cents below
those ruling six weeks since. Still there is but
little disposition to buy at the decline. The
crop of Cubas which, it was confidently predict
ed up to last month, would fall short of the pre-
vious crop at least twenty per cent, will equal,
if not overrun, the crop of last year. and the
coming crop of Louisiana now promises to be q
very large one, aud intelligent planters now in
this ty,and recently from their plantations es.
innate it will, with usual good weather, reach
AGO. 900 hhds against rs, 900 hhds last year.
This fact, with an almost double stock on hand
here and at the neighboring ports, and double
prices over former years prevent spectators and
consumers from buying freely. This morning
the market is unsettled, and holders are endeav-
orDg to effect sales at prices of yesterday with
out success"

THE MAssAcREs IN INDIA.

THE MAssAcREs IN lNDIA.-The Delhi GaZette
of June IS, ISSUED from the camp OF the Brit
ish Army outside Of the city, says:
Give fnll stretch to your imaginatlon-thlnK
of everything that is cruel, inhnman, lnfernal,
and you cannot then conceive anything so dia-
bolical as what these demons in human
form have perpetrated. On the I'd we marched
from Panipnt to Race. At this place some OF
the poor fusitiyes from Delhi met with the most
barbarous treatment We burnt four villages
on the road and hung seven Lumbardars. One
of these wretches had part of lady's dress for
his kammerbund-he had seized lady from
Delhi, stripped her, violated, and then murdered
her in the most cruel manner, first cutting of
her breasts. He said he was sorry he had not
an opportunity of doing more than he had done.
Another lady who hid herself under bridge
was treated in the same manner, then hacked to
pieces, and her manged remains thrown ont on
the plain. We found q pair of boots, evidently
those OF . girl 1G or II years of age, with the
feet in them. They had been cut off just above
the ankle. We hung many other villains and
burnt theviages as We came along. man
who witnessed the last massacre in Delhi, where
he had gone as spy, gives horrid accounts OF It,
stating that little children were thrown up IN
the air and caught on tho points OF oayonetS,
or cut at as they were falling with tulwars.
A letter from Peshawar, June 10, referring
to the execution of Sepoys by the British troops
says: Some of the 200 prisoners of the Doth
have been tried and we blew forty of them a
way from our guns in presence Of the whole
force three days ago, fearful but necessary ex'
ample, which has struck terror into their souls.
Three sides of a square was formed, ten guns
pointed outwards, the sentence Of the court was
read, prisoner bound to each gun, the signal
given. and the salyo fred. such scene hope
never again to wtness-human trunks, heads,
legs. arms, &C.. flung about in all drections.-
All met their fate with firmness but Two, who
would not be tied up; so to save time. they
were dropped to the ground and their brains
blown out by musketry.
