The GEM OF THE AETILLEs.--Intelligenc from
the faithful Isle admits of the inference that
the insurgents will ere long wreet this valuable
jewel from the dadeD.of the unfortunate Isabella.
The alarm and excitement are daily increasing,
whilst hundreds Of refugees, representing the
elite of Spanish nobility are seeking an asylum on
our hcspitable shores.
Sugar, the chief commod ity Of the country, has
Suffered materially in consequence of the blacks
espOusing the cause OF the rebellion the crop
being reduced some 100000 hhds., owing to the
want Of requisite attention.
In view of tbs fact, which viii render q rapid
advance in the article an inevitable certainty, 1t
behooves cur city and country dealers to prepare
themselves in time by obia ming full supply Of
sugar and molasses.
Mr.. A. II. d'Meza, wholesale dealer, corner of
Cont aud Peters streets, (Old Levee,) is the fac.
tor that we would recommend by all means to
such as desire to avail themselves of our advice,
and by reference to his advertisement in the CREs-
CENT this morning it will be observed that he is
not only direct importer of West India produce,
keeping it constantly on hand, in addition TO
Louisiana sugar snd molasses Of all grades, but is
also agent for the celebrated Goodsle Refinery.
which possesses an extensive popularity among US.

TEE STATE SEMINARY. The citizens of New
Orleans do not seem to know that we have in this
State an institution that is as capable of giving
our youth an academic education as any other
similar one in the world. At Alexandria is located
a school, supported by the State, taught by
Louisiana men, filed by Louisiana boys, and yet
to this Institution the city OF New Orleans sends
but seven students. Now, this is not as it should
be. While We have every facility in our own
State, our boys should not be sent away to other
States TO obtain their education. When they want
a collegiate training, send them to the great scho
lastic institutions of the land. but when they only
need that which we ourselves can give them, let
us send them to school that is emphaticaly our
own.
