GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Perhaps it is not generally known that
this place is the head OF market, and that
grain is now selling at higher price here
than in tho Philadelphia and New York
markets. A short time since wheat was
quoted in this neighborhood at so per
bushel. 1t is now selling at $500, or from
ten to twenty cents more than in New York
or Philadelphia. Corn is up to eTa cents
potatoes to $l,00. The latter are, however
bringing high prices in the city. Notwith'
standing the improvements in agriculture
the necessaries of life are every day becoming
more expensive. Butter for the last thirty
years ranged in price from ten to sixteen cents
averaging perhaps twelve cents. 1t is now
however, and has been for six months past
selling at rs cents per pound, about five
cents below New York prices. The price o
grain, and provisions has advanced in the
cities but not in the same ratio as in some
of the interior towns, especially in the mining
and iron districts.

THE ELECTION RIOTs-aRRIvALOF. SUR
yEYOR GENERAL BURR, OF uTAu.
WAsn1sGroS, Muy s.

Many of the most respectable citizens OF
Washington have signed call for d public
meeting on Thursday afternoon next, to con-
denim the late riots, and sustain the course OF
the President and City Authorities in en-
ploying military force TO quell the disturb
ances.
David II. Burr Surveyor General Of Utah,
has arrived home in this city.
Mr. Burr states, in conversation with his
friends, that the Mormon legion is but poorly
equipped, and that thousand United States
troops would effectuully overawe them. Be-
fore be left Utah, the Mormons had not heard
Of the intention Of the Government TO send
force thither, but they frequently laughed
at the idea Of the Government compelling
their obedience to the Federal laws, they
citing the failure to put down the dlsturban-
ces iu Kansas as evidence OF its ineiiclency.
lie supposes that onc.third or one half of the
Mormons, who are disgustcd with Brigham
oungs tyranny, would rise against him,
we've they protected by United States troops.
Mr.. Burr does not apprehend that the Nor
mons will show fight. 1t is the duty of every
good Mormon TO obey the Church as the
highest law, aud hence an opinion is enter
tanned that Young may leave the Territory
with large force Of his deluded followers
provided he can find some other seat for his
| Government.
Mr. Burr says that Salt Lake is the mean
est settlement he ever beheid, everything
having the appearance OF abjrct poverty
Brigham Young's word is law, and the op
pressions Of the Mormons is cruel, and with
out remedy from the present rulers. There
are about fifty gentiles only in the Territory
who ore objects Of bitter persecution.
According to the statement Of Captain
Tyler, who commanded one Of the companie
OF Marines at the riot on last Monday, HI
gave the order "after the capture Of th'
swivel from the rioters" to fire, the discharge
being from one platoon only, and irreguarly
and each OF the marines firing as they saV
the flashes from the pistols discharged q
them by the rioters, who fired ns they re
treated.
The Company commanded by Capta!
+ Maddox, according to the same authority
did not fire until marine had been wounde,
in the cheek by ball, coming out at hi
mouth.
1t is confidently asserted that several @
the Plug Ugles" have recently died, Will
those in Baltimore are suffering from sever
wounds. Judge Ilolingshead. who is Of th
; American party, has refused an application
for warrant to arrest Mayor Magruder o
the charge of murder. The ground of tn
application was that he had given tho orde
to fire.
The Secretary Of the Navy has not decide
whether any of the five steam sloops-of WI
shall be built by private contract.

TUE COMET is due on Saturday next, June
18th, according to some astronomers. but
others fix the period hundred years later.
The question which now agitates the public
mind the most is, if the comet approaches the
earth tail and foremost, whether that lamng
appendage will be broken smack off or driven
in. The practical solution of this question
will be announced by telegraph.-Philddel-
phia Ledger.
Eas The public mind need be under no ap-
prehensions, as neither Of these events are
likely to occur. Comets are erratic members
of the Planetary family, frequently wander
ing "solitary and alone" in strange and &C.
centric orbits. or the individual whose visit
to this sublunnry sphere is announced for
Saturday, today we doubt whether even
"his mother knows that he is out" He is
evidently on bender, and should he pay us
a visit, it will be friendly one. His tail
| will neither be "broken off or driven in," but
will gracefully bend, to suit the circumstances
as occasion may require. 1t is predicted
however, by some, that he may give Brig
ham Young and his band Of poygamists, d
brush with his tail, as he passes over Utah.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Seth Kinman, the

GEN. wALKER-urs SPEECH AT NEW or


The steamer Woodford, from New Orleans
for Louisville, with Gen. Walker on board,
passed Cairo on Saturday. The New Orleans
Bulletin, OF June lst, says:
crowd Of persons assembled on Canal
street on Saturday evening to hear on address
from Gen. Walker, late Of Nicaragua. lie
spoke some two hours, principally in defence
OF himself, and against the policy Of our
Government and that of the British, towards
Nicaragua. lie said the whole secret of the
opposition Of Great Britain and Of the North
TO his success in Central America, was
slavery, which institution he defended at some
length. he was pretty severe upon the
Pierce and Marcy Administration, and the
steamboat companies, and expressed his un-
bounded astonishnent at the conduct ol
Capt. Davis, to whom he had been compelled
to capitulate, for expressing his determine.
ton not to permit the Nicaraguan schooner
Granada to leave its berth, thereby interfering
with the affairs Of an Independent State
lie appealed from the officers Of the Govern
ment to the people, to assist him in making
another effort to regain his authority in Cen
tral America. The Generals voice was heart
only at u short distance, and the cheering
was by no means enthusiastic. The gren
majority were evidently attracted thithel
through curiosity. The speaker looks NOR,
like quiet, respectable preacher, than {
