Pennsylvania Politics— Meeting of the Legislature —Election of Oficers—Divorce Cases, §c. ‘The Legislature of our State will assemble on next, the,7th inst. Already over one half -of the members, of both branches, are in attendance, and actively engaged in caucuszing for the spoils. “The Senate stands sixteen whigs to sixteen demo- eats, with one independent, Judge Myers, of ‘Clarion, or rather the Armstrong district, who ran in opposition to Augustus Drum, the regular demo- -cratic nominee, and defeated him by little short of @ hundred votes, iu a district which can easily give thousand democratic majority, Judge Myers is the personal and political friead of Governor Joha- ston, a heavy iron master, and his successful can- ‘vass may be attributed to a combination of tariff ‘and personal influences, brought to bear by the executive against Drum, who bad excited the ire of his free soi] excellency, by a most bitter attack on his motives and administration in the Senate at the last session. It is but fair to suppose, under these circumstances, that Judge Myers will act ya whigs, and thus give them the control of ¢ Senate. With these influences, are also connected a de- Cided feeling of hostility to Senator Cooper, who, f ‘it is said, has, from the very onset, done epi in his power to cripple and destrov the mi tion. The new State Journal, which is to make its appearance on the very day that the Le- eg convenes, they aver, is an emanation from brain of Mr. Cooper, and notwithstanding all the denials of its projectors to the contrary, will indirectly, if not directly, oppose the re-election of Governor Johnston, ox his further politieal ad- ‘vancement. id SAT A On the other hand, the free soil administration have not been idle. In order not to be outdone, and perhaps to crush thetreason in their ranks, and aip it in the bud with one fell swoop, have project- ed and established a new daily penny paper, called the Datly American, under the editorial charge of Mr. Adams, a gentieman of fair licerary attain. ments, with the assistance of Colvin McCurdy, of the Intelligencer, which has been merged into the new ise. It does not appear that the new journal has, or is likely to set the Susquehanna on fire by the pun- ency of its editoriais—in fact, it has not clearly Setined its position, but from the well known views of the principal editor, it willno doubt go for Brown, of Alabama, or his excellency, for the Vice Presidency, if they can any way mi to t in the ring. The general impression is, that r is trying to pave the way for the old fash- ioned leaders of the pe bag to regain their ascel ey, and take the helm in opposition to the ‘well known views of the Governor on the subject of slavery, as best calculated to fortify the general administration, and strengthen it for the campaiga of 1852. You need not be surprised, therefore, to see in the forthcoming message of his free soil ex- cellency, ultra ground taken on this momentous subject, and perhaps, the basis of the next guber- natorial campaign, will be laid by an exposition of the ‘iples on which it will be fought. Thad nearly negiected to say the speakership of the Senate will be contested on the part of the whigs, by Geo. V. Lawrence, of Washington, and Be Matinews, of the city of Philadelphia; although many ate inclined to place Senator Crabb in the chair, from the fact of his being the oldest member—Mr. Crabb having served as a Senator for the last fourteen years. Tecan safely promise that Senator Crabb would Mot listen to the proposed honor, as he is, without doubt, the mouthpiece of the mercantile and mo- influence of the State, which alone engrosses his time, both day and night, during a session. The demo: wii] complement Senator McCaslin, of -Green, with a caucus nomination for speakershi a man admirably fitted by his talents and legislative tact, for the position. The a esent effi- cient Clerk of the Seuate, Samuel W. Pearson, being somewhat tainted with Coogerism, will be decapitated without mercy, together with the mix- ed breed of officers elected at the last session, an al division having been made by Speaker Best, ho used his balence vote to place himself in the chair, and dictated the selection ot the officers. Judge Myers appears, from hearsay evidence, to be inclined to say something about the officers also, as it is understood his fiat had gone forth ia favor J.M. Sullivan, Eeq., of Butler, for Clerk, and Judge McClay, of Clarion, 4 personal friend, for the office of Assistant Clerk. m Dullield,” an old cam- paigner of the whig school, whose friends have ur him for either of these positions, will be cut d stuck in the transcribing office, saving his neck — by the reputation of being the prince of jOW Ss. . Ia the House, the democrats have a large ma jority. The espeakership lies between Mr. Jno. 3. hey, of Armstrong, John Ceasna, of Bedford, and General Brindle, ot Lycoming. Mr. Rhey will be selected without doubt, the popular current setting that way, although either of the other gentlemen is eminen'ly qualified to fill the office with hoaor to themselves and the commonwealth. Wm. Jack q , the very gentlemanly clerk for the last five years, having no competitor, will, as he deserves, unanimously re-elected. Dr. D. H. B. Brower, of Butler, appears to be the favorite ofthe whigs for the speakership. hile these things ore goingon here, a very large attendance of the principal democrats of the State are now congregated at Philadelphia, read to bite each others noges off in relation to the U, 8S. senatorehip. The friends of Judge Black were Auite sanguine, a few weeks age, that he would be able to secure the democratic caucus nomination without any trouble; but_ recent events have alter- ed things matenaily. Mr. He ay D. Foster is urged by influential friends for the high honor, and cohen udge Woodward been named; but both these gentlemen will find, it is said, some extraor- dinary documents aud disclosures forthcoming, if they persist in their intentions. Where this is to end, no one can clearly tell or define; but I will venture to predict that all will be chaos and confusion on the assembling of the Le ture; and out of all these rival elements, as- piring for the semstorehip, nothing will remain buat the feast of the Kilkenny cate pagal It is rather a eingular feature, also, in this politi- cal drama, that the name of Simon Cameron has Dot been introduced more extensively in connection with the office, but you may rest assured his in- fivence, and that of bs friends, whose names are legion, will be seen ond felt, when the time for action arrives. Considerable excitement has crown out of an in- vestigation made by the Auditor General in relation to the billa for printin jerman documents. It appears from the fac’ d, that errors appear in sworn accounts to the amount of two thousand five hundred dotlers; whether by accident or de- sign, this functionsry will undoubtedly state ina communication to the Legistature. s | The whole subject of contracts for public printing to the lowest bidder, is wrong, and is little more than a premium for rascality, The State should remodel thie very importaat branch of public infor- in, by the Lewislature taking the whole sub- ject in detail before a joint special committee of both houses. Madame Rumor says, we are to have one of the celebrated divorce cases urged again before our Legislature. It would be unjust to condema before reading the new acd startling evidence which rumored is to be introduced; any strictures, th fore, must be reserved wotil the case is on the trial ut int The little Kilmiste Family were here last week, and gave us three evenings of their pleasing enter- teinments. Little Mies Emma is a perfeet prodigy of precocious talent, which only requires cultivation to really entitle her to her soubriquet of the Jenny Lind of America. 8 Annoyances In ony.

New Youn, January 6, 1851. 1am desirous of contributing a weekly budget to your columns, made up of material that may be collected by me during my peregrinations through and arovnd this thriving and busy metropolis I shall send you nothing but the truth; therefore, without hesitation, | beg you will rely upon the authority, and, accordingly, pass it for publication.

It will be neceseary that their labors should be continued for some days longer in those specialities where the exhibitors are numerous, such as in the different branches of machinery, philosophical instruments, materials of food, and manufactures, fine and some others; but the regulations of the Royal Commissioners require that all these committees should make their reports by C! day. We have authority fer contradicting the state- ments which have appeared in various pie, to the eflect that a circus, refreshment booths, and other entertainments will be allowed in Hyde Park while the exhibition is open, no exi in official quarters of ighanging the rules already lai down in regard to Hyde Park. The following technical directions have been issued by the executive committee to the officers of the landing department for the reception of exhibi- tion consignments: _ 1. All packages imported for the great exhibi- tion are to be entered tely from any other packages, by a warehousing bill of ‘sight, with tne words “Goods for the Great Exhibition only,” plainly written thereon ; and as such packages are expeeted to contain specimens only, the necessity of specially reporting silks, gloves, cambrica, &c , to be dispensed with. 2. When orders to Jana packages so entered are appliea for, the bill of lading, with the certificate from the central authority of the country from whence they are forwarded, that they are intend- ed for the great exhibition, (or, in the absence of the latter, the bill of I countersigned by a party authorized by the executive committee) 18 to be exhibited to the register, who will thereupon issue an order for landing, and a separate landing book, with directions to the landing waiter at the station for allowing the packages to be forwarded to Hyde Park. 3. As the consignee or agent will, it is presumed, have been informed of the nation of which the goods are the manufacture, it is particularly desi- rable that upon landing, and before being wiaoed in the van for removal, each package should have the name of the nation written legibly thereon, so that upon its arrival at the great exhibition, it may @t once receive a rotation number, aad be eon- eee to its berth. 4 That all packages intended for the great exhi- bition, upon being landed, be measured or weighed, and the particulars recorded in the landing ky and that they be then forwarded to Hyde Park, in lock up vans, or with the sanction of the landing surveyor for the station at which they are landed, in the wagons or carts of licensed carmen, in charge of an an ; filled . That duplicate cart notes, properly filled y and having Ao the weight or ieneas of an package thereon, be forwarded by each van; one of which, on their due arrival, will be receipted and retumed under cover to the gee 6. That upon the receipt for the packages de- hyered at the great exhibition being in the hands of the registrar, he isto compare the marks and numbers thereon with the marks and numbers on the warehousing bill of sight, and if found correct, the latier document is to be forwarded under cover to the comptroller of warehousing accounts, Hyde Park, end the receipt attached to the landing book in discharge thereof; and it is directed that the documents be transmitted daily. A correspondent suggests that the enormous block of coal which is to be exhibited should be placed undera shed, and not allowed to occupy space which might be added to the deficient allow- ance meted to Manchester. We understand that Mr. Nicholay, the furrier, has undertaken to prepare for the exhibition of i dustry, a complete collection of the furs of Ameri- ca, and for this purpose the Hudson’s Bey Com- ony have placed their stock at his disposal. Mr. icholay is also anxious to meke a complete col- lection of skins of animals of this country, and would, therefore, be obliged if gentlemen who may have it in their power would favor him with any voy tine specimens of the skins of the deer, otter, seel, wild cat, martin, badger, and polecat, which skins Mr. Nicholay will be happy te have prepared at hie own cost for the exhibiuon. Amorica in Kurope, THE EFFECT OF PRESIDENT P)LLMORK'S MR@SAGE. {From the London Globe. Deo. 18.} It will be @ great day for America when she is once forced to be economical in anything. At pre- sent, her way of life resembles nothing eo much as Mr. Delafield’s management of Covent Garden, when the £100,000 represented an endless and illi- mutable supply of chorus singers and prima donnas, orchestras and Willow Banks. The partners in the brewery cannot have had greater difficulty in keeping up with their enfant dw stécle, than we feel in following the aspirations and tendencies in vogue acroes the Atlantic. There every influence conspires to confuse the mind with superabundant oc- cupation. Her boundless extent of unsettled territory tempts America to disperse instead of concentrating her population. The un- imegined wealth of California sends her children already roaming in spirit over the prairies of the Amazon, and ruling in the palaces of Lima and Rie. ‘The very etyle ot ber orators, the very metaphors of her speech, dwarf our English simnpleneas o: ry with their startling and gigaatic im) lity. And if America has too much to jo, it ecoatty. true that she has @ great deal woo much te say. The message which has just reached us from President Fillmore is not so formidable from any prolixity in its treatment of single topics, as from the multitude of subjects on which he thinks it ne- cessary to give an opinion. [t may be that so litde is teken for granted in America, that it becomes in- cum bent on every Chief of the State to declare his adhesion to principlesand maxims which must hw heen tolerably familiar to the world before the flood. That nations, for duties to each other, that thority to enforce their obli eat laws of rngem | should have a national application, that t constitution of every country should be the le of its first magistrate, that the executive d be deterred “ by its own sense of propriety” from invading the province of the legislature—these are all bighly respected maxima, and we salute them as old acquaintances whenever they cross our path. But itis tedious to listen to statements which admit of no conceivable reply but connmy; aud President Fillmore need no more have intro- duced them in his message than historians aad biographers need enter upon their subject by trea- lises on midwifery or infant baptiem Amerteans in Athens. SPIRIT OF AMERICAN WOMEN ADROAD —THEIR R&- PUSAL TO BE PRESENTED TO THE QUERN. Advices from Athens announce that a party of American ledies, desirous of being presented to the Queen, the United States consul, M_ Diomatari, sought om interview with M. Grivas, marshal of the palace, by whom he was directed to address a note trom his office, statiag the wish and names of the parties desirous of being preseated. This was done, and an hour fixed for the interview, the consal be- ing invited to present the gentlemen, whilst court etiqnette required the ladies should be introduced by the grand maitresse. This was of course, satia- factory; but just as the party was ready to depart, an under servant frem the palace appeared at the consulate, bringing a message from the marshal, to the eflect, that the American party would be re- ceived according to appointment, bat that the con- sul Wes not to accompany them. mersage was delivered to the Americans as they were step- ing into their carriage. A moment sufficed for he carriage was discharged, court 8 cast aside, and her Majesty of Greece wae left to the undisturbed enjoyment of her own state chamber for that evenmg. Later in the evening a messenger arrived from the palace to inquire at the consulate why the American party had not present- ed themeelvee, and atating that the queea had wait- ed nearly an hour for them; but the absenee of the consul prevented an answer being given. The next day, M. Diomatari addressed a note to the marshal, stating the reason why the Americans had not pre- sented themeelves. [t was impossible for them to have done so, in the face of such an insult offered to their representative.

The officer in charge, having missed his prisoner, came ing down the beach, and secured him while still in the water. He was then conducted house, and the three men confined, for transmission to Hobart Town. A whale boat, with six hands, was gent on board the cutter, seized her, and brought her in. She, teo, with the parties on board, will be sent up immediately, It has not been thought necessary to impose any further restraint on Mr. 8. O'Brien, greater than that to which he was pre- viously subjected. ‘Terrible Explosion at Macao, China. TRE BLOWING UP OP A PORTUG@ESE $2 GUN-SHIP— FORTUNATE ESCAPE OF THE OFFICERS OF TAK U. 8. SHIP MARION. We have dates from Hong Kong to the 30th, and Macao tothe 29th’0! October. At the former place no news of importance; from the latter, a report ef the following melancholy accident is contained in a letter from the lon News cor respondent:— 'o dey very melancholy news has reached us from Macao. The affairs of the house of Bra- genza in China, appear doomed to every misfor- tune. Governor Amaral was carried off by the hand of the assassin; to avenge his death a suc- ceesor was appointed, and Da Cunha was collect- ing together a naval force when death puddenly removed him; and now we have the painful tas to record not merely the death of the senior naval officer, but the destruction of his ship, with nearly every soul on board. On the 29th, the auniversary of the birth of the ahghe cousin, Don Fernando, Captain d’ Assis e Silva, made arrangements to give @ party on board his ship, the Donna Maria II, of 32 guns. A number of civilians from Macao, and the of cfficers of the American sloop-of-war i At noon, the Donna Maria shortly after which several went off to the vessel, which was then tying at anchor in the Typa. At half-past twoo’clock P. M., the ship blew up with feerful explosion, entirely destroying the vessel, and ail on fboard, except the captain’s son, and some twelve or thirteen men, Who were taken out of the water by the boats of the United States sloop of war. The crew consisted chiefly of Las- cars, fnatives of Goa, with European marines; the number on board at the time of the catastro- phe could not have been far short of three hundred souls. She American officers, tt is believed. escaped, as they were about to quit ther own vessel when the explosion took place. ‘The foregoing is all that is known, and was brought by an express boat from Macao, just before the mail closed, by the steamer Brezanga for Europe. Who were the civilians on board is not yet ascertaine d. Interesting from Siam, Our advices from Singapore are to the 7th of No- vember, and the accounts of the import market at that settlement are also more favorable. Transac- tions had been larger than for eome time previously, and prices were firm, with an upward tendency. A memorial to Lord Palmerston had been adopted by the Chamber of Commerce, with reference to the failure of Rajah Brooke’s mission to Siam. The conclusion ot the Chamber is, that, looking at the similar failure experienced by the envoy from the United States, it would be vain to attempt, at pre- sent, toestablish more intimate relations, except by a resort to hostile measures, which they une- uivocally deprecate. The alarm caused in Siam by the simple approach of the late mission had entirely put a stop to its Singapore trade, and the Chamber conceives that any further demonstration would only give permanence to this evil, while at the fame time it might lead to political difficulties and responsibilities of the most objectionable kind.

The weather has been much of the same character as that previously experienced, and the efleet of the continued arena 3 of the atmosphere has been very prejudicial to the condition of all kinds of corm, a circumstance which has had con- siderable Jnfiocace,, inasmuch as it has rendered purchasers more than usually cautious in their operation The deliveries of wheat from the growers not been large, but they have proved quite sufficient to satisfy the demand, and at some of the markets m the agricultural districts, a further depreciation has taken place in prices, The arrivals trom the north of Europe have only been moderate; a considerable number of vessels, wheat laden, having, however, ar- rived off the coast, from ports lying east of Gibral- tar, and large quantities of Hour having been received at raver from America—with a fair proportion from France there, and at some of the chapnel pore importauons have, on the whole, been fully equal to expectation, which haa, no doubt, assisted to keep down prices. To these causes of depression, We may add the unwilling- nesa of millers and others to increase their stocks 80 near the close of the year, and the necessity of many farmers to press sales, in order to raise the fauds needed about Christmas time. English bar- lev hag, during the last formight, come forward more freely than et any period since harvest, the consequence of winch has been a decline of is. to Qs. per quarter from the highest point at all the principal markets in those distgcts where this rain is most extensively grow: The reduction as, however, been confined to common malting and distilling qualities, the proportion of really fine bane? poeneed u year being comparatively emall. The recent rae in prices of oats hus had the effect of ceusing rather larger deliveries from the growers, and decreasing the demand; but, though the article has beea less freely taken than before the advance, no reaction has occurred in its value. The news from abroad 1s of much the same charac- ter as last week. Prices do not scem to have varied materially et any of the leading contineatal ports: sellers appewr, however, to have become somewhat more anxious te enter into contracts for shipment in spring; and in case our merchants and specula- tors refrain from sending out orders, prices are likely to sete down abroad during the winter. Of wheat better supplies begun to appear, but the deliveries of spring corn had not muchexceeded what had been required for local consumption. The arrivals of all kinds of grain and pulse into the port of London, abroad, have been moderate since the close of last week, and the quantity exhibited at Mark lane by land-carrisge samples from the neighboring counties has not been large. On Monday, the Essex stands were tolerably well filled with wheat semples, but from Kent there was scarcely an average supply, and the offers from Lincolnshire end Cambridgeshire were not numerous. Finedry qualities were far from abundant, end the millers stending in need of fresh thrashed wheat, the best descripuons were cleared off at similar rates to those current on that day se’ennight, but before the ge- neral runs could be disposed of, factors had to give way to the extent of about Is. perqr. This abate- ment was, however, of no advantage to the millers, the intrinsic value being deteriorated by the damp weather to an extent which the reduction of ls. per ¢, would not compensate. Since then very little snglish wheat has come to hand, and theugh the inquil languid in the extreme on Wednesday, this morning, no further change occurred as we! in quotations. The inquiry for foreign whent has will or desire to evade the existing treaty, but from a pernicious system of internal administration; and they recommend, therefore, in order to promote a speedy restoration of the trade, which has been suspended, and which is of vital importance, that tranquillizing assurances should now be tragsmitted by the auchorities at gepore to the oflicers of the Siamese government at Bankok, with whom a fnendly understendiog has always existed. This dockment Wee signed by a very great majority of the merchants of the settlement; but a counter- memorial had been got up, and had received a few signatures, the intention of which, from its word- ing, appears very obscure, although its aim would seem to be to countenance another demonstration at any hazard. The Vistt of Thompson to the United States. [trom the London Times, Deo. 13,} There are two important rules for which we pos- sess the highest possible sanction, and which have been confirmed by the largest possible experieace. The first is, not to offegd against the multitude of a city; and the second is, not to meddle with our neighbor's aflaire. We are sorry to say that one of our countrymen, a member of our legislature, the representative of the Tower Hamlets, and, as we learn from Mr. Dod, of the Emperor of Dethi, is acting just now in direct violation of both these salutary maxims. Mr. George Thompson, M. P., a radical reformer, and general ameiiorator of Bri- tish, East [ndian, American, and all other institu- tions, is just now following in the wake of Jenny Lind, and starring it in the principal cities of the United States A picturesque scene, lately de- scribed in these columns, has already acquainted our readers with the object of his visitauon. It is nothing less than to abolish instanter, by the breath of bis nostrils, that unhappy institution which, if we cannot but regard it aa the darkest stuin on the escutcheon of American liberty, and a pregnant with unknown ills, we must also remember to be a British importation, the bequest of ancient miagovernment, and almost inextrica- bly wound with the domestic and political customs and laws of the States. Except under the just provocation caused by the exuberaat im- pudence of brother Jonathan in his remarks on the country of his ancestors, no prudent English- man would deny that t are two sides to the question of American slavery. No Englishman, with a single-minded intention for the good of the slaves and the free colored men, would propose and egitate for immediate abolition. He would not demand an act which would at one stroke de- Prive masters of servants and servante of mastera, capital of labor and labor ot capital, and, in fact, shake a long-established state of society, not merely to atoms, but to discordant and hostile ele- ments. Such, however, is the innocent recreation in which Mr George Thompson is beguiling the in- terval of his Parliamentary labors, and preparing for the hoapitalities and ainenities of Christmas. [tis Mr. G. Thompeon may take a di view of the two rules we have mentioned above. He may eet them one against the other, aad hold that be has ail the more right to defy the prejudices or the comfort of the American slaveowners, be- cause he is a foreigner, and that he has a special call to undertake this agitation, because public opi- nion on the other side of the Atlantic makes it va- safe or inconvenient to citizens of the Union. We beg, however, to snbmit that when a bourse of conduct falls wader the direct operation of two se- parate- rules it ie doubly condemned Mr Thompson's exhibition at Boston, in the re- nowned euil Hall, having terminated with some performances not included in the programme, viz — # fight, a dance, and a selection of popular songs ge ‘ AT hie feet and went that gentleman shook the dus with 150 anti-slavery gentlemen, la lored perrons, to the cxy of Worcester, where, in the presence of a more select and civil audience, he detied his Boston peraecutors, The speeches inide on thie ocersion, however, are far from setting right his position as an intruder and agitator in matiers Which did notconcern him. A resolution, proposed Kf a Mr. Garrison, iJluatrates the species of antagoniem which Mr, G. Thompson has helped to foster between the tellow-citizens of one federa- tion, one State, end one metropolis :— Reseived, That the manner in which the Boston Times, Bee. Herald, Moil, Pilot, and other lawless aud depraved journals, justigated and eanctioned this riot ous aesauit, demonstrates that the editors. proprietors and reporters. of thore journals are profligate, shame- lees, and cosardiy raffians, as destitute of principle as bighwaymen and burgiare, the enemies of the coun- try and fit assooiates for the oo te of the common jall and State priron; and tha ¢ such inoendiary ja are extensively patronized the peace of (he unity Is constantly liable to be invaded; neither property if eafe; and the foundations of public morality are fearfully weakened. For gentlemen whose object it 1s te improve the relations of society, this is rather strong. Me. (+ Thompson, however, does not appear to have dis-* countenanced this amiable bitof philanthropy. Oa the contrary, he began with referring to his opera- tions at Boston, as “ fighting the beasts at Ephe- sus,” and prophetic allusions to the treatment been lees active than might have been expected, con- sidering the indifferent order of the Englieh supplies, and the consequent necessity of employing old extensively for mixing. ‘he transactions on Monday were only of a retail character, and the demand has certainly not improved since then; holders have, nevertheless, remained tirm, end, where rales have been eflected, former terms have been obtained. In floating cargoes, nothin, of interest has occurred; for goed qualities of Polisl Odessa, off the coast, 368. to 87s. per quarter, cost, freight, and insurance, has been asked. The nominal top price of town-made flour has remained stafiopary, and as millers cannot buy fine wheat n before, they ure not likely to make any change in the price of the manufactured article. Country flour has, in some cases, been sold rather cheaper, and the inferior sorts of French have been very difficult to quit, at almost any price. Choice malting barley has commanded pre- vious rates, the commoner kinds (of which the quantity on the market has accumalated within the last weck or two) have been very dull of sale, though offered Is. per quarter lower than on last Monday week. Foreign grinding barley, being still relatively cheap for feeding purposes, has been in fair request throughout the wee id has not been influenced by the decline en English. The inquiry for malt hes slackened, and even the finest soris have become somewhat easier to buy, whilst the ordinary Semrtigtions have receded Is per quarter in value. The arrivals of oats coastwise und from Ireland have rather increased; having, however, received few from abroad, the total sup- ply has been considerably less than the quantity required for the weekly consumption of the me- tropolis. The trade in this grein has been devoid of animation, purchasers having confined their operations to as Rarrow limits as their immediate wants have permitted} With the exception of some kinds of foreigo, which have ia purtial in- wtances brought rather more money, we have no change to notice in prices, quotations having re- mained very nearly the eame as they were last week. Belins have excited little attention, and the turn has been in favor of the buye White peas have sold slowly at about former rai gray were parted with, on Monday, at a redaction of Is. leas per qr., but the decline has since been partiall recovered. For Iadian corn afloat quite as muc’ money has been asked as last week.

Mr. White would content himself by reading im anewer to Mr. Westerm, an extract from the opinion of Judge Crier. It is this—Judge Grier says:—“The provision, ‘that in no trial cr bearing, uader this act, shall the testimony of such fugitive be admitted in evidenee,’ is no more than the enactment of an established principle of the commen law. that no mam shall be witness in his own eause. If this provision were not act, I would not receive the testimony: cof the prisoner to prove that he was not the person described, or that he wasafree man. It would be @ hich ne tribunal should permit y man. No lawyer would urge urt such an absurd construction of the act 88, a6, that it means that no evidence should be heard on the t of the alleged fugitive. Lf such were the intention of the legislature, it was easy to to exprees it in unequivocal terms. In’ truth, nothing equivocal in the language of the act;—it for- bids the judge to hear the testimony of the fagitive, but not tbe testimony of disinterested witnesses.
