From Washing gtOn.

WASHINGTON, October S0
Intelligent gentlemen, who have Just ar
rived here from the Pacific coast, say that
people there will be surprised at the visit of
Lieut. Gen. Scott to San Juan. In the
Atlantic States, that Island has been magni-
fed to the Importance of q continent, while it
belongs to the United States and will be re-
tanned. They add that ii is not worth quar-
rolling about. Itsvalue has been surprisingly
overestimated. 1t is certain the tone of Brit
ish Ministry On this subject is not agreeable
to our Government, but an explicit declara-
ton that Gen. Harney was not instructed to
occupy the Island, and q calm and dignified
explanation Of all the attendant circumstances
will, it is thought, produce better state
of feelings on the part Of our transatlantic
neighbors.
Magruder left Washington this afternoon
for Charlestown to join his law partner, Chill
ton. These gentlemen have been retained by
certain parties in Boston as associate counsel
for Brown. They are both Virginians by
birth, and pro-slavery men if not slave. hold
ers, but their reputation here is such as to
leave no doubt they will faithfully and
ably perform their duty. 1t is said an un-
successful effort was previously made 10 en-
gage Montgomery Blair.

More About the Harasr's Ferry Diff
Guilty.
CARLISLE, October go.

CARLISLE, October ~.
The prisoner in the Jail at Carlisle, for whom
requisition was made by the Governor of
Virginia, as Albert Hazlett, had hearing
before the Judge to-day, upon writ Of habeas
corpus. Messrs. Miller, Sharp and shearer
appeared for the prisoner, and claimed his dis.
charge on the ground that his name was not
Albert Hazlett, but William Harrison. Several
witnesses, resident at Harper's Ferry, testified
positively that the prisoner at the bar was one
Of the persons who invaded Harper's Ferry;
that they had coversed with him there, and
that they recognized him now. One of the
witness, Mr.. Copeland, said that he had seen
the fash of his (the prisoners rife when in
the act of shooting at citizen. None Of the
witnesses knew the name Of the man, nor had
they ever seen him before his appearance in
the streets Of Harper's Ferry.
+. Watts, Esq, appeared as counsel for Vir-
ginia, and asked his Honor to recommit the
prisoner to await the requisition of the Gov
ernor of Virginia by the name he had assumed
The Court took this ground and said.
"We are already of the opinion that the re-
QUESTION presented to us is legally and for
mally right, but there ia no evidence that we
have any man in our custody named Albert
Hazlett, whom We can deliver on the requsi-
tion, but we are satisfied monstrous crime
has been committed; that the prisoner was
there and participated in it, is clearly testified
to by three witnesses, and we will, therefore,
recommit him to await the requisition Of the
Governor of Virginia"

ST. CU1ATIoN AT THE WEST. A Western for
waToicg merchant, who has come down to the
seacoast TO inform himself of the prospect for
prodaoe this spring, sends back word OF eau
ton TO the Detroit Tribune, as follows:
On arriving at New York, found but a
thing or Two that will be of interest TO these ct
the West. found that wheat and -four ws-s
deaIer at Detroit than New York, and l cen
with full faith inform your mercantile readers
that ruin is sure to follow the insane attempts
being made at the West to force up the price OF
produce. | have seen and watched just such
proceedings for the past thirteen years, and de-
etruction certain and surely has been the result
in every case so will it be next spring. Re-
ceipts of all kinds of produce aIe mods,ate, so
also is the demand no large amount Oh w1sat,
corn, or flour, could be sold at present rates.
Here are the facts; white Michigan wheat is
quoted at 81 50--now and then 500 TO l0C0 bush
els could be worked off at that 5000 to 10000
bushels in one lot could not be sold-no ore
would touch it. So with red winter Western,
81 30 to 81 81 is the quoted price, but no man
can sell 5000 bushels in one lot at these figures
So with corn-mixed Western is hsld at SIC,
but there are no sales l ordered 5000, 10 coo
or $4,000 bushels sold at SIC, and 70 salas
could be effected These facts eio1i9 show
our produce dealing friends that the pa :. e1t ex-
element at the West is without fo,,udeEion,
reason, or judgment
There is now in New York and Boston, oil the
-four wheat, and corn, that will be needed IN
til the next harvest without an increase in the
receipts. And in regard to corn, viii etate
one fact-the crop of the State OF New York
never was so large in the memory ofman, and
she will make up the entire deficiency of the
exports from Illinois during the coming season.
So, whatever fools may do, wise men will
stand from under"
