Star. — 1829-12-02 (London, England)

THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.  &Re... 1 have noticed with considerable interest the account In your Paper of yesterday, *hewing the prodigious extent of the export of Grain from Ireland, which I find considerably to exceed the quantity exported from the United States of North America to an parts of the world—which annually, on an average of the ten running years ending the 30th September, 1825, was as follows, viz. :  974,493 Barrels of Flour, of I 961bs. each, 1,344,437 Bushels of Indian Corn and Meal, 154,432 Bushels of Wheat.  The largest exportation of Grain and Flour from the United States appears to have been in the year ending 30th September, 1903, in which year the quantity was-1,311,853 Barrels of Flour, 9,213,214 Bushels of Indian Can and Meal, 686,415 ditto of Wheat ; and the exportation of the preceding year was nearly as great, principally imported into Great Britain, where, in 1801, the average price of Wheat was 1154,11 d. per quarter ; in 1802, 87s. 9d. and in 1803, 575. Id.—so that the Americans seem then to have acted on the principle of the British manufacturers of the present day •ia. to make up in quantity what they lose in price.—Yours, &e. JOHN BAINBRIDGL  The Rev. Wm. CouRTHORPE, at his tithe-audit for the parish of Westmeston and hamlet of Chiltington, on the 17th instant, reduced his respective claims on his parishioners 10 per cent. on account of the distressed state of agriculture. Accounts from Colombia, by the Leeward Island Mail, state that Bolivar is busy in organizing the Provinces, and commerce begins to revive. The political news is not of importance. There are many persons in the City who have great doubts of the surrender of the Spaniards at Tampico, owing to the late accounts received, via of France, not mentioning the circumstance. A Philadelphia paper, received this morning, of the 29th Oct. says, " The editor of the New Orleans Argus, of the 3d Oct. expresses a strong doubt of the truth given of the capitulation of Barradas.  Extract of a letter from the Havannah, Oct. 11 :—" I take the opportunity of informing you that a report is circulated here, and entitled to credit, that the Intendant has received from Spain a Royal Decree, disapproving of the duty of five dollars per barrel on Spanish flour, imposed on foreign bottoms, which he had attempted to levy on the importers. This Decree will have the effect of inducing Spanish shippers to monopolize the trade.— Freights to the United• States and Europe are very scarce. Exchange on London 181 per cent." The Austrian Observer of November 17, adds the following particulars to the account already given of the extraordinary attack made on a young man at Nuremburg, by a secret enemy who pursues him :—" We understand that it is necessary to remove the unfortunate foundling Gaspar Hauser, of Nnremburg, to another residence, as the solitary situation of the house in which he at present lives renders the repetition of the late attempt at assassination probable.. When, on the screams of the maid, the murderer, led, he said, " You shall not go alive out of Nuremburgr Unfortunately, Hauser, after the attack made upon him, hid himself, from fear, in the cellar of the house, and lost his reason. It was then necessary to secure him and watch him ; bat he has since recovered his senses.
