Domestic Exports— General Lane—Resigmation of a Judgeship—The Negro Thieves, §¢. zi The exports of domestic producejfrom the Unit- ed States, commencing October 1, 1828 and ending March 31, 1848, are as follows: 1824, $43,984,421 ; 1525, $59,167,948; 1826, $45,258,443; 1827, $50,622, 928; 1828, $42,739,220 ; 1829, $47,871,940 ; 1880, $51,109,379 ; 1831, $51,524,910 ; 1832, $58,763,997 ; 1538, $60,658,658; 1834, $71,838,784; 1835, $90,446,- 950 ; 1836, $96,917,664 ; 1837, $83,857,534 ; 1833, $53,394,946; 1839, $90,688,393 ; 1540, $97,843,424 ; 1541, $90,012,799; 1842, $79,206,375; 1843, $63,219,- 020 ; 844, $85,747,122 ; 1845, $81,960,251; a $35,634,759 ; 1847, $135,104,300, From the Ist o July, 1847 to the 81st of March, 1848, three quar- ters, $51,309,991. These exports comprise the fol- lowing named articles of the forest and agricul’ ture, viz: skins and furs, ginseng, staves, timber’ shingles, boards, hewn timber, other timber, masts and spars, ok bark and other dye wood, all manu- factures of wood, naval stores, tar, pitch, rosin and turpentine, ashes, pot and pearl, beef tallow, hides, horned eattle, butter and cheese, pork (pickled), bacon, lard, live hogs, horses and mules, sheep, wheat, flour, Indian corn, Indian meal, rye meal, rye, oats, and other small grain and pulse, biscuit or -hip bread, potatoes, apples, rice, tobacco, cot- ton, wool, flaxseed, hops, brown sugar, indigo and hemp. It willbe seen that, during the year 1847, the exports were treble those in 1824, and that during the last quarter of a conten they have been increasing until they have doubled. On Saturday, | informed you that General Lane, of Indiana, would be tendered the Governorship ef Oregon—General Shields having declined the intment. To-day, it is said, that General Lane will not accept, as he can, if he chooses, come to Congress from Indiana. However, nothing has, a yet, been heard from the General himselt. He is jn the neighborhood of Evansville, on the Ohio, and his Glegraptic point is Louisville. Ananswe 1s daily expected. Mr. Turney, brother to. Hop.

The penalty is $200 for each, or $14,200 in all. The sale of the report of the trial (taken down by a gentleman from the North,) will nearly or quite pay this amount. Since the adjournment of Congress our streets are almost as quiet as Sunday. Even the itinerant organ grinders ure welcome before our doors, and from this you may judge of the dry, dull, mo- notonous condition of the capitol Feuix. Wasurnaton, Aug. 22, 1848. The issue of stock of the loans of 1847-1843, on foreign account, for the week ending 19th Aug., was as follows: + + $140,000 Engiand..... France. .... weve 184,000 Switzerland. 0,900 Scotland. 7,000 Cubs x $349,000 Every thing is dull at the Departments just now, several of the heads, and many of the clerks, hav- ing left town for the Springs. In a short time, however, the Treasury Department will be actively engaged. in bringing up the business of the past fiscal year, and preparing for the Secretary's re- port. : M. Vattemare leaves this city in a day or two. A meeting of the citizens was held last night, at - which highly complimentary resolutions were passed, and thanks given for the many valuable presents made to Washington by the French go- vernment, through M. Vattemere. We are grate- ful to learn from that gentleman that he retams the confidence of the present French government, and that it has expressed an intention of affording him every assistance 1n his philanthropic pursuits. itis rumored that a certain very efficient and able commissioner in one of the departments will shortly receive a foreign mission—probably to ‘The returns no dvubt that *Cook is ana elec! and 8 or 10; Linn cou ey giving oa) p nt ter A county 16 egeinst| fie ri ‘ted *Simmons (whig) over Dr. C: representative.

The locofocos have succeeded throughout the State, and the entire delegation, as heretofore, will be arrayed against the interests of Missouri, upon the subject of appropriations for our rivers and harbors, by the gea- eral government.—St. Louis New Era, Aug. 14, News fro Merxico.—The steamship Ohio arrived yesterday from Vera Cruz, via veston. We extract the following items regarding Mexican affairs from the Galr in Civilian :— The Arco Iris publishes a letter from the city of Mexico, dated July 25, which speaks ef the complete ' suppression of the revolution—the disarming of the In and the discharge of the prisoners upon their pledging themselves to the support of their go- verpment. The same paper ancounces that most of the idlers left from the American army had volunteered to serve in Yucatan. They were enlisted under a pledge to obey the orders ef the supreme government of Mexico. The strco is that their commander is a Loui- sianian, who has shown himself to be a good officer while in the service of the United States. That paper congratulates the country inthus getting rid of the dregs of the American army, by shipping them to Yucatan. ‘The Arco Iris announces the completion of its first volume, but declines a retrospect of the year, on ac- count of the gloomy character of its history. It re- lies, however, upon the Almighty to remember and punish the Americans for their bad conduct. From the full returns, it appears that the election of officers for the frontier regiment of Texas, resulted in the selection of P. H. Bell as Colonel, H. E. M’Culloch as Lieutenant Colonel, and James S. Gillet as Major.— N. O. Mercury, Aug. 15. From Jamaica.—By the arrival at Charleston of the schooner Merchant, the Mercury has received letters and papers from Kingston, Ja., to the 2d in! from the former of which the following are extracts :— “ Kinaston, Ja., Aug. 2. ‘ There is very little business doing just now. Flour sells slowly at 368, and meal at 176."’ « Kixoston, Aug. 2. “ The cargo of Carolina rice therein mentioned was only partly fold at 224, the balance having been placed at 208, the price obtained for the Beaver's cai 0.

This is denounced, in the strongest terms, as destructive of the prosperity of the island. “ So far as present appearances go,’ a; the Despatch of July 26, “ Ministers have finally pro- nounced the extermination of a.riculture and com- merce in Jamaica. No one doubts that if the famous proporition of the 16th of June passes into a law, Gwo- thirds of the sugar estates in Jamaica must immediate- ly be abandoned, and we need not ask what will be the state of commerce consequent ron the entire destruc- tien of our only internal source of wealth. The effect of this state of things upon colonial society is as yet but faintly anticipated. Our commorce destroyed, and the few capitalists now amongst us driven from the country, what hope is there for the impoverished inha- bitants that remain’? ‘The Despatch recommends to the Assembly to pass no revenue law “ untilthe means of carrying on the agriculture and commerce of the country shall be af- forded by the government.’ In the Despatch of August 1, we notice the arrival of the “ bark Rhyne, Benbigit, St. Helena, with 230 Afri- cans, to Messrs, Hitchins and Co.” Arrains IN VENY The following extracts from letters received by a merchant of this city, says the Bosion Tyaveiler of the 22d instant, from his correspondent at Porto Cabello, though they agree in respect to the depressed state of the country, arrive at different conclusions as to the result of the contest going on there. The letter is datea Porto Cabello, July 29, and says :— © Here things grow worse and worse every day. Ma- Gelgium. The manner in which the gentleman has conducted himself in his present position, certainly entitles him to some such reward. The paragraph which has appeared in some of the New York papers, professing to give exclusive and late news from Ireland, 1s looked upon with a great deal of doubt. Ii true, the news is con- sidered glorious ; but if merely an emanation from the fertile imagination of some scamp, it is very reprehensible. It may be, that the news from Ireland which appears in the English pa- pers is not correct ; but that, certainly, 1s no rea- son why the papers here should imagine facts, in order to get up an excitement, the reaction from which would only tend tocreate disgust. It may, however, be true ; and if so, we repeat, it rious news. O3 RGA. Bautimorer, Aug. 23, 1848 The Irish News—Infamous Murder-—The Fulton Steam Pump, $c. ‘The anxiety to hear from Ireland, as to the truth or falsity ot the Tribune letter, is hourly increas- ing; and when the next steamer is announced, our city will be in arms. Notwithstanding the en- dorsement of the Irish directory, this letter is re- garded as a miserable invention to draw forth con- tributions, for which object it was used in Phila- delphia and New York, on Monday evening. The cause of snffering ireland needs no such decep- ton as this. A most infamous murder was committed in the section of the city on Monday night. A German ball was being held, when a party of row- dies broke in and commenced an indiscriminate assault on the dancers. They cleared the room, and when they left, a German named George Kiecknen, was found in a dying condition on the floor. He continued insensible untal morning, when he died—no clue having been obtained as to who his murderer was. Murderers are never ar- rested by our indefatigable police and watchmen. until a good reward is ofiered for them. | The patent steam pumpinvented by George W.

Persons having necessity for the use of hydraulic apparatus trom New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, as well as the South and West, are daily visiting this city to examine this new inven- tion, and itis pronounced as far superior, and o/ aa enurely difierent construction and principle of any other pump in use.

Acrim. con. case came to light a few evenings since, in the lower part of Southwark. A jealous pated husband having had his suspicions that his lady to whom he had been but a few months mar- ried, was unfaithful to her vows, laid a plan by which to ascertain whether his suspicions were correct. He pretended that he was about to take a voyage to New York; but returning after night- tall to the vicinity of his residence, he saw the gollant that he suspected, make his way into the house, obtaining access 80 easily as to prove con clusively that his coming was expected. The husband, aided Ly some friends, at a late hour in the night, buret ip the tront door, and on proceed- ing to the bed-cliamber, discovered the fair one and her paramour, in rather awkward situations, The incensed husband had a pistol wih him, but being undetermined which to shoot in the first ebullition of nis wrath, both escaped. The gal- lant 14. an apprentice to the printing business, not more than twenty years of age. The wife is quite youthful aod pretty, aad her paramour was a fa- vorite before mainage, and had been cat out by tie present husband, who bei i in the coasting trade between this city and New York, cadtled the countinuance of af intimacy which is believed to have existed previous to the mar- riage Suiciwa.—On Sunday morning last, about eig o'clock, anex-policeman of the First Municipality naued Thoms Hopkins, drowned himself in the Old Beain, opporite Villerc etreet, It was one of the coolest acts of pelf- deetruction on record.

The fact is, that on the 2ith inst. the Paez fleet, consisting of one bark and seven schooners, appeared off this port, and caused us aserious alarm. They, however, took only a small schooner in Borturata, and had an insig- nificant skirmish with the troops sent down from here; but re-embarked and remained for several days in the port of Turiana, between Ocumare and here, getting water, but capturing from there all national vessels they could lay hold of. They also took our weekly packet from La Guayra, and we are thus deprived of all communications. These events have caused a very bad feeling here. The liberal party is exasperated, and their leaders are openly threatening with massaore all the foreigners and the Paez party, #0 that we must be prepared for every thing, should anything serious hap- en. The state we live in is insupportable. The fieet * now said to have gone to Margarita, which island they intend to take, and from there they wil! attack the continent, We cannot help to compiain, but we must consider the Paez Lf a8 lost, if we look upon the enthusiasm which prevails on the side of the peo- plein favor of the government. More than 600 men from the country presented themselves in the first days after the appearance ofthe fleet, asking for arms; but luckily there are none. Under such circumstances, business is at a stand; but produce is offered sometimes very cheap for ready cash, Bills are very scarce, and $6 40 has been paid for this packet."’ ‘A second letter, under the same date, says :— “Tn politios we are at this moment as unsettled as ever. Government lacks all means, whilst the Mara- caibo flotilla seems to be on the increase, and has for several days past been cruising in our and keeping the authorities in alarm, Our garrison has again been increased, whilst the government squad- ron remains incomplete inactivity for want of peo- ple and of means, and there is no Knowing when this will end. “Until the pews from Europe and from your quar- ter becomes a little more favorable, we cannot expect any amelioration. Money will not circulate more - ly Until some demand springs up for our produce—of which we see no immediate prospect. “Business is in a very depressed condition, owing partly to the season—partly, however, to the continued unsettled state of the country, and the scarcity of money. In produce there is nothing doi: 4 prices are but nominal.

Bell, warning him that their hunting grounds had been encroached upon by the settlers, and that eed should assert their right to the soil by force of arms, unless the settlers should be removed from the Indian lands before autumn. The settlers on the whole line of her frontier, from Red River to Medina, have become alarmed by the threatening attitude assumed by Indians, and if the Rangers should be withdrawn at this period, many of the settlements on the frontier might be broken up.” —Galveston News.

Another Fancy Ball—Philadelpiia Beauty—A Rich Bride—The Finak. The citieens of the United States now sojourn- ing at this delightful watering place, by unanimous and enthusiastic reeolve, determined to give a grand fancy ball on Saturday evening last, in respect to their distinguished guests, the Queen of Naples, and Sultan and Saltana of Turkey, that they might witness the hospitality and happiness of republicans; and truly, never was any purpose more speedily, beautifuily and universally effected than theirs on thia interesting occasion. The spirit of determination and taste with the ladies and gentlemen, one and all, was manifested to the assembled company, consisting of at least four hundred persons, in the semblance of a surprise at once novel and complete, filling the cup of mirth and pleasure full to the brim. The company assembled in the ball room at half ast eight o’clock, to the air of ‘Hail, Columbia.” ‘heir natronal character being the United States, taken by W. W. H., Esq., of Philadelphia, who was in white, trimmed with red and blue, mantled with the American ee ane wearing a liberty cap. This entree made, the United States left, and then escorted into the room the Queen of Naples, Miss C—t, of Philadelphia, dressed in eastern magnificence, with maids of honor, Miss J.

M., of Phi- ladelphia, looking lovely, blushing, modest, timid, and unsophisticated; with the country groom, Mr. J. 1.., of Philadelphia, in country costume, 1asct- nated with his bride, and so verdantly happy as scarcely to contain himself. The characters were excellent. Air—‘ Come, haste tothe Wedding.” Then entered the victimized young man, ala Militaire, F. G. B., ., of Philadelphia, with officer-like neatness and gallantry, attending his extremely rich, though very aged bride, Mrs. A.E., of Philadelphia; her hair as white as flax, anda great degree of infirmity, with venerable devo- tion to her young husband.

Air— Oftin the Sully Night.” The entrées now ended, amidst universal ap- robation; while curiosity was at its utmost eight in viewing the numercus characters of the aseemblage. i Mrs. Dr. L. personated the magician to the life, and, symyathizing with the vicuumized youn, man, spirited from his constant presence his aged bride, and, with ore waive of her magic wand, transformed her into a Venus, then presented her to her surprised and now happy husband. This performance elicited enthusiastic admiration. The Quaker Bnde, by Miss E. H., of Philadelphia, and the Quaker Groom, by Mr. 4. C., were the personification of frendly simplicity and plain appearance, even in the dance, so demure and still Quakers, that many anxious inquiries were made whether they were reality or representation. The Spanish Lady, by Mrs. J. S., of Philadel- phia, was a faithful sustaument of the best, and shed a beautiful ray in the conversational circles. The Improvisatrice, Sighs M. P., of Philadel- phia, attended by Miss E. B., with guitar, spoke eautifully of the musical harmony whicn has of- ten held the company in silent and delightful rap- hour, Night,” re- ture. Flora, by Mias S. H., of Baltimore, appeared, laden with flowers—herself a lilly 1n the midst. The Brigand, by Mr. A. E., of Philadelphia—a surprise arnval from Mexico—was excellent ; and renewing his old occupation, robbed the Queen; this being within the jurisdiction of the republic. on complaint, he was arrested by the United States, compelled, on his knees, to return to the Queen her jewels, implore her Ae hla: and he was then punished by a merciful dismissal. Thus was displayed the justice and mercy of the repub- iia ‘The sustainment of the character was capi- tal. Jalsey, by Mr. J.P. H., of Philadelphia, and also, his hunchback, were surprise characters.— The former, excited first curiosity to know the real person, then universal laughter ; the latter excited sympathy, and then merriment at the succession of misfortunes betalling the object of commissera- tion. The White Lady, by Miss K. 8., of Providence, was beautiful, and elicited much attention. Tilly Sloughboy, by Miss V. M., of Philadelphia, was a perfect picture of unrestrained simplicity, and unsophisticated enjoyment. The Gipsey, by Miss E. S., of Philadelphia j Lit- tle Nell, by Misé S. A., of Richmond ; the Match Girl, by Miss P. P., of Norfolk ; Littie Red Rid- mB Hood, by Miss C. S., of Philadelphia; the Flower Girl, by Miss K. N., of Philadelphia's the Swise Peasant, by Miss MM. P., of Norfolk, were all excellent, and attracted much attention. The Misses H., of Baltimore, were very much admired, though not epee in fancy costume. La Fille du Regiment, by Miss J. C., of Phila- deiphia, was pertect neatness and beauty; the per- sonation deserved and enjoyed universal admira- on. The Nun, by Miss &:. L., of Philadelphia, was sweetly beautiful. Miss Nance, by Miss N.C., of Philadelphia, en- joyed herself and pleased everybod The Fortune Teller, by Miss H. N., of Philadel- phia, seemed to hold futurity as but present, and with penetrating glance, now beaming with joy, now tinged with sadness, appeared to read the mysterious fate of all around. he Infirm Old Dancing Lady, by Mrs. A. E., of Philadelphia, only ad iets ot age, added viva- city to the quadrille, and drew the gallant atten- tions of many a beau. This character was perfect. The Hostess, by Mrs. Captain N., with accom- plished hospitality received and entertained her grateful guests. The Frar, by Mr. L. E. F., of New Orleans, Was in strict accordance with the character, dis- penne charity, and benificent with advice ; the ~ntieman Flirt, by Mr. W. P. N; the Distin- guished Gentleman, by Dr. J.; the Scotch Gentle- man, by Mr. F. S.; the Freach Count, by Mr. S.; Nell’s Grandfather, by Mr. K; the Insh Gentle- man, by Mr. G. McH.; Attendant of the Repub- he, by ir. J. D.; the Highlander, by Mr. G. B the Greek Boy, by Mr. H. B., all of Philadelphia, and the Selor Boy, by Mr. D.'P., of Norfolk, were excellently sustained. The company, after much enjoyment, inter- change of congratulations, end dancing, retired to an elegant supper at 104 o'clock, where the prosperity of the republic and the health of our guests Was propo: and drank with lively ap- reciation ; this over, the United States led the ueen, Sultan and Sultana, followed by the com- pany, to the ball-room, with the air, “God Save the Queen,” and “ Hail Columbi Dancing was then resumed ; and the Quee: uitan and Sul- tana, declared to the United States that there was 80 much general happiness, native kindness, and liberality ssnenay the people of our republic, as to render it a model to the world, and a worthy example ; they would, and did immediately, re- nounce all other allegiance, and declared their in- tentions to become citizens of the republic, Thus ended the visit of the Queen, Sultan and Sultana, and conoluded tne grand fancy ball | the Yellow Springs, of the State of Pennsylvania, at 11} o'clock. Throughout the entire eveming, one of the happiest events of the kind that has ever been juced, and will be long remembered with pleasure by the many persons present. 5 Cupfisvitir, Berkshire Co., Mass., Anguat 10, 1848. Soonery about Stockbridge—The Echo Mirror, &e. You will perceive that I have deviated somewhat from the beaten track followed by the “herd of fashion,” and have come to a spot comparatively obsoure, to seek that change of scene which oity folks consider so essential to their comfort during the hot season, Yet, if I mistake not, there is more of the real, rational enjoyment of country life to be obtauned hore than in pine-tonths of the “re- sorts” #o much talked of and #0 thronged, addi- tionally attractive as they may be rendered by the fair representation. of their class, as: hi bye-way, in their sum ‘carriages, ‘enjoying our beautiful froin every possible point of view. lle 13, in 1tgelf, a place of little interest, except as the site of some pretty extensive manu- factories of cotton and woollen froda, being by no means compere with some of its neighbors for neatness or beauty. But the country in which itis situated, and the scenery, taken as a whole, is sur- passingly fine. Would that I could describe it 80 that you might feel it; but there is no way, un- less you make up your mind to leave that atmos- ere of slow poison for a few days, and come were yourself, that seeing, you may believe. 1 am ‘sure, that should you wake up, some fine morning, and find yourself breathing in the pure, invigorating breath of our mountains, and, raising your window, should look forth upon the wide- spread picture which presents itself in every di- rection, you would freely admit you had secn nothing to surpass it in all our travels, whether in (a belle France, or in Italy, or anywhere else. Miss Martineau,’ who resided several month¥on Jones’ Hill, a short distance from here, Often declared that she had never seen so fine a land- Scape in any country she had visited, as that which presented itself{from her window. Perhaps it 18 seen to the best advantage from that spot embracing, as it does, a pehutifully diversi ed. valley, some fifteen mileaaa extent, and wholly shut im by mountains atevery shape and hue—the “village of the plain,” Old Stockbride, lying almost at your feet, and the Housato.c river, here quite a small stream, winding in graceful curves through duxuriant meadows. At various ints, the white spires and cottages of Lenox, Tee, Glendate, Curtisville, &c., make resting places for the eye, and give life and cheerfulness to the whole. F i Here, too, we are in full view of Monument Mountain, immortalized in_the verse of Bryant asthe scene of a romantic Indian legend. Who does net remember the poem commencing with these lines?— “Thon who would’st cee the lovely and the wild Mingled in harmony on Naturo’s face, ‘Ascend our rocky mountains, Let thy foot Fail net with weariness, for on their tops ‘The beauty, and the majesty of earth, Spread wide beneath, shall make thee to forget ‘The eteep and toilsome way.’ We have, besides, several fine sheets of water— ponds, as they choose to style them here, though y thinls them quite worthy the name of lakes. The largest of these, ‘ Stockbridge Bowl,” has been embalmed in verse by Miss Sedge- wick, Mrs. Butler, and other poets of re- pute; nor has a smaller lake been forgotten, with the expressive name of the Mountain Mirror, which in addition to its other attractions, possesses a remarkable eche. i One of the most elegant mansions in Stock- bridge—certainly the most comfortable looking one—is the family residence of the Sedgewicks. It fronts the principal street, and is approached through a broad avenue, shaded by the overhang- ing branches of ancient and gigantic elms. It is not to be wondered at, that a family reared in such a spot, should be imbued with the spirit of poesy, and be allured by the influence of its peaceful se- clusion to follow the sober walks of literature. But I must not forget while taking you to the yery spot, to inform you that the Rev. J. T. Head- ley 1s reported to have purchased a house and farm, which occupy.a remarkable bend of the Housa- tonic, a few miles from Stockbridge, and where it is supposed he intends to settle, and divide his at- tention henceforth between the pursuits of litera- ture and the contemplation of vegetables. Next week I propose going to Coleraine, abou. fifty miles farther to the North. _ They tell me it is a pertoctly outlandish plage—wild as Oregon, and chiefly inhabited by bears, catamounts, foxes, and such ‘ike, creeturs, while its mountain streams abound with trout—those verdant, unsophisticated trout, which yet, unacquainted with the allure- ments of gay, deceiving flies, are cortented to bite at a worm, even though thrown to them ona firm hook by a ragged urchin. So what may I not ex- pect, going accoutred with patent reel and rod. I ope to tell you of great doings there—meanwhile, le beso los inanos. ANroni0. Arrival of Gencral Wool at Troy. {From the Troy Whig.] In accordance with arrangements made by the Troy Citizens’ Corps, the citisens of Troy, on learning that General Wool would be in New York on Saturday morning, the corps, under the commandof Capt. A. H. Pierce, and staff, A. K. Hadley and James M. Lemon, accompanied by the committee of the Common Coun- cil, Recorder J. S, Olin, Ald. Sage and Watrous, with the committee of citizens, Jas. Van Schoonhoven, Uri ‘ail, Started immediately for evening, on the steamboat Em- pire, Capt. Tupper, where, after a pleasant trip and excellent fare with the Captain of the Empire, they arrived on Saturday morning. At the landing in New York, the escort were re- ceived by the New York City Guards, Capt. McArdle, and proceeded to the Astor House, where they re- ceived the gallant General, and conducted him to the steamboat Hendrik Hudson, amid the cheers of thousands of citizens, who thronged the streets, wharves and boats. While on their way to this city, and the Generaland the escort were at dinner, Capt. Pierce gave, “The health of our Illustrious Guest, Gen, Wool,”’ ich was with three times three cheers, , and after paying a high com: pliment to them, gave as a sentiment : “The citizens of Troy and the Troy Citizens Corps.'"—When the General eat down, Hon. Mr. Hadley arose, and in a brief, pertinent, and happy manner, addressed the General on behalf of the escort, alluding to his suc- cessful career, and concluded, by offering “ The health of the heroes of Buena Vista, Generals Taylor and Wool.’’—This was responded to by nine cheers. Get ‘ool replied in a feeling and apeee jiate man- ner. Im the couree of his remarks, the General Iuded to the toast offered by Mr. Hadley, and said, that whatever might have been his own part in that memorable engagement, the bighest honor was due to the conduct of the great hero, Gen. Taylor, and that | in all their engagements the happiest and’ most cor- dial friendship existed between them. His re- marks were received with nine cheers more, Arriving at Troy, the General and escort were joined by the Troy City Artillery, Capt. Brintnall, ‘and proceeded to his residence on First street, accom: panied by an immense crowd of citizens, who were each anxious to see him, when the General again briefly addreseed the companies who had escorted him, and the citizens, in a vory feeling manner. As the General closed his remarks, the band played, in an excellent manner, and with happy effect, “Home Sweet Home,” andthe military and citizens returned to their homes, leaving their distinguished friend in the embraces of his beloved family. On Wednesday, °'d inst, agreeable to arrangements, ‘a public reception was given the General, and a sword presented, as our readers already understand. Mexico and the Mexicans, {From the New Orleans Picayune.) Of all our army officers who have served in the Mexi- can war, Gen. Persifor F. Smith has had, perhaps, the largest opportunities of forming an enlightened and impartial opinion of Mexico and the Mexicans, He ‘was the first of our generals, taken from civil life. te repair to the seat of war, and the last to leave the country after the war was done. While in Mexico, he . Was not only upon both the Rio Grande and Vera Cruz Mnes, but he wae, for » length of time, military gover- nor of the city of Mexico. He not only had the advan- tage of seeing as much of the country as any other cer, but he was in tions to bring him in contact with the people in a business way, thus enabling him to form opinions of their social and civil condition. General Smith speaks of the appearance of the middle territory of Mexico, as most other officers do. general features of the country as you leave the low lands, are beautiful and imposing; but au examina- tion into the agricultural capacities of the soil is not 80 satisfactory as the coup dail is beautiful and sub- lime. The territory is mostly composed of elevated plateaus or bot low lands. The soil of the plateaus is not eofertile, and the rent scarcity of wood and water upon them, ‘would make them Little desirable for agri- culture, were they even more producti Water courses are more numerous in the low lands; but not in sufficient abundance till you descend toa sickly and prostrating parallel, But were the middle States better adapted to cultivation, the character of the po- pwlation upon them would make their acquisition of little worth to any civilized people. The population is sunk in ignorance and vice beyond any process of re- demption. Whether owing to the enervating of the climate, or from other causes, the great object of every Mexican’s life is laziness. The ingenuity is not taxed to find out new industrial processes, improved methods of acctumulative labor, or remunerating enter- prises of any description, The genius of Mexico, if tbe proclivity ofthe people may be eo called, is employ- ed in finding out how to live without doing any thing. ‘The hordes of leperos, beggars, and canaille which in- fest Mexieo, have nearly made the discovery, av they do nothing, and live on next to nothing; but among the better descriptions of Mexicans, the national idiosyn- crary is quite as conspicuous. Generation after gene- ration have gradually sumk undor it till there is no hope of redeeming the race, The haciendas of the wealtby are cultivated by the descendants of a race who were slaves under the Artecs. Their condition is infinitely below that of the Amertoan nogto, They are not cared for as the blaoke of the South are—have not ‘as muob intelligence, nnd enjoy leas of the goods of the earth, We would not imagine that General Smith re- turns home with any favorable idea of becoming a fei- low-citiron of the Mex! 8 of the middle States. By a cinuse of the Criminal Law Consolidation Bill, it i# provided that any dean or chapter refusing to elect as biehop the person named in a letter missive of the crown, shall be liable to three years’ imprisoament or aniimited fine. When this clause was under dis- oveston im the House of Lords, Lord Donmen that it would be muoh better to piace the appointment of bishops directly and avowediy with tho crown than to pass any such law. alleged that edged fou- dant had seduced her and was the father of the child. Smith, thereupon, procured a judge’s order, and held the defendant to bail in $4000.

The idea advanced by Dr. J. M, Foltz, U.S. N.,in his report on ecurvy, (see same journal. for January, 1848,) that the anti-scorbutic properties of the potato resides in the starch, struok me with much force. Little else enters into its composition, if we except the water, rome fibrous matter, and a little mucelage or albumen. That its beneficial properties, therefore. are owing to this ingredient, seems a legitimate and natu- ral conclusion; a conclusion strengthened by his ar- gument, drawn from an analysis of scorbutic;blood, and that starch and Lar leh which contain the elements of which the blood is deficient, will prove specific in the cure and prevention of scurvy, as he asserts, From intercourse with masters of ships engaged in the whale fishery, I have long been acquatated: with the reputed properties of the potato, in this respect; and recent conversations with them, haveconfirmed mein the correctness of the opinion Not an indivi- dual among them, but feels perfectly safe againstecurvy. ‘80 long as he has potatoes on board. But, they must not be too old, as they dry up and become usvless Capt. MoC. saya, at New Zealand! purch:sed alarge supply of potatoes, but they were of the old crop, the time for digging the new ones not having arrived, yet being near at hand. I proceeded to se: two months afterwards, with plenty on board. the scurvy broke out, and I had nine men down withit. As I w: ut sailing for port on their account, I fell in a French vessel, just from shore, with some potato the new crop on board. I could only obtain about a bushel, but that was sufficient to cure every man, though their gums were ewollen and black. their teeth just ready to fall out, and their limbs beginning to ow dark spots. Dr. Foltz,in his report on scurvy, as it appeared in the squadron blockading the ports in the Gulf of Mexico, says, “ At one times liberal supply of potatoes was procured, which were given raw to the sick, and no article prescribed exerted a salutory effect 0 promptly as potatoes in an uncooked state, ‘Whenever we were able to prooure even a small supply, the improvement in the sick was too obvious not to | prove their superiority to all other remedies adminis- tered.’ The good effect he attributes entirely to starch, which forms their basis Dr. Porter continues:—* During the late famine in Ireland, scurvy became prevalent in certain localities, those suffering from it baving a sufficiency of bread, others meatin addition, with sometimes wine or porter, | but all had been deprived of potatoes fo: some months.’’ “ Experience,’ the writer adds, “has long shown that a diet consisting solely of potatoes is capable of afford- ing nouriabment, and of preserving the body in per- fect health.’ Certain nations, it is well known, sub- sist almost entirely on rice, arrow root, and similar kinds of vegetable food. These are all of the starch | class; and it may be that therein, as well as the potato, resides their chief value. rtioles—rice, arrow root, sage, tapioca ay be made into ex- | cellent puddings, with lemon juice and spices, and | make a luxurious article of diet at sea. Arrow root may be purchased in any quantity in the islands of the Pacific and elsewhere, and often as low as two or three cents the pound. Conversing, a few days since, with Captain R., one of our oldest shipmasters in the whaling fitet, I mentioned to him the theory in relation to starch,as being the chief ingredient in the potato, His crew had suffered most severely from scurvy in hislast voyage. I inquired if he had any arrow root on board No,”’ was his reply, “for I was disappointed in obtaining it at the island. as it is my custom to do for puddings, &c."’ On | my informing him that arrow root was almost entiroly | a form of starch, after some reflection, he said:—“I | enteing irregularity in the service of process, &c.— \t reserved. 5 a cannot but think that there is truth in the theory you | f have named, for, on looking back, | find that during thoe voyages when I took most arrow root on board, I had the least scurvy. Besides,” he added, “I was per- feetly well during this last voyage, while all were sick | around me, and two men died; and'I know not what to | attribute it to, unless it be toa practice which I have | followed for years, of having, while at sea, a bowl of | arrow root gruel at my breakfast.”” | ‘Thompson, in his late “Researches on the Food of | Animals,” gives the following list of nutritive or nitro- | genized, and calorifacient or respiratory proportionals im a few familiar artioles:— Starch . . ..1 proportion of the former, 40 of the latter. | Arrow Root,l & 6 Rice.. 1 s . lo bad Potato... & ‘ Cae Wheat flourl vs » %; bs Milk al ¥ hs 2 Are articles of diet antiscorbutic just in proportion to the relative quantity of carboniferous fuel they con- tain? Or, does the antiscorbutic property reside in the | due admixture of the two elements referred to, and which is found existing naturally in the potato? These are questions which can only be solved by experience and observation. Scurvy ismuch more prevalent at the present day than is generally imagined, and will ever be liable to occur in whaling and other voyages, requiring long ab- rence at sea. Should experience confirm the forego- ing theory in relation to the starch class, it willfarnish | a beautiful illustration of the wisdom and goodness of the Creator. in placing the remedy in the immediate neighborhood of the disease, existing, as does the for- mer, most abundantly on sea coasts and in the islands of the sea. This discovery, if such it shall prove, is simple (but simplicity is the seal of truth) and will con- fer infinite advantage on the interest of nivigation and the health and happinoss of seamen. To Dr. Foltz belongs the credit of this original and simple suggestion, based upon careful chemical analysis; and we call upon all ship masters, particularly on those en- gaged in voyages to India, and in the whaling fleets, for a full and fair trial of this simple remedy.
