Accounts from Soeraearta to the 29th of Oetober, BAP that the various defeats which the Rebels have lately es; perieneed in the district of Padang, and in which many 0' their Chiefs were killed or- wounded, have obliged them t", abandon a great part of the environs of that place, and retreat to the southern mountains, and Mount Merapie.--Reports received from various quarters, announce that Diepo Negoro had retreated to the river Progo, after having received in the action at Garok, on the 15th, two wound,' one above the right breast, the other above the left thigh.

We regret to see the Agriculturists so us' reasonable, or so blind to their true interests, oi to present petitions against the New Corn Bill' If the operatives had of late acquired a familito rity with the Latin Classics, along with thee other accomplishments, they would certainly IS/ inclined to address them as the  O fortunatos nimium, sua si bona norintAgricolas.  But unfortunately there is no persuading either of these great bodies to view the other with all feelings but those of a pitiful jealousy. Far froio feeling any anxiety about the prosperity of the ms' nufacturers, with which their own is absoluteli interwoven, the agriculturists seem impressed with the vain desire of triumphing on their ruin, as ii they expected to find some new customers to start out of the earth, in the room of those to whom they have hitherto looked for the sale 0 all their produce bodies of whom we mthialaetevtniele.nientbeen speaking produce ; a)'l.ltl the manufacturers 061 no ways behind hand in narrowness of mill' towards their supposed rivals. 0 bation 'of this Corn Bill we have already er pressed ; but we would entreat those tl"`I eakiog period rNc,ieoo dnb seoisdft eotrwi time, bestowed ttthot ehriere reconcile ti:s cel ilos wisest t rests, in the joint success of which oiutolirtinteflhoY:scfvctoniar;iga:Pauill;o:rttirrege)l look for that political renown which must Ve extremely dear to them, even if they are devoit of any higher principle of conduct.
