Burke County, July 21, 1838. “The largest crop ol Coin over taised in this county, has been raised this season on the plan af lation of Isaah Carter, from the Bayden seed.— Mr. Skinner, the Overseer, states that the Cord A seed corn will not average more than 4or 5 oars to the stalk, whereas the Bayden teed yields from Bto 13 ears to the stalk. He also states that he f ‘ noticed on one stalk of the Bayden Us largo ears, 9 shoots that had silks on them, and 4 shouts 1 that had no silks on them at the time, hut he thought they would huvo time enough to make nubbins, which would make 22 large ears and 4 nubbins to the stalk!

The Picayune, speaking of the health of the city of New Orleans, says : “As to the health of our city at preset! 1 , it gives us pleasure to statu that it is good. As far as we can learn, there are not the most distant symptoms of an epidemic, nor are there more eases of sickness of any kind than may naurally bo expected at this time of the year. The rams for some lime past have been frequent and abun dant, thus keeping the sheets and gutters clean. The river continues high, being within fij feet - of high water mark—and every thing is in favor of the opinion that there are comparatively few causes for the generation of poisonous miasmata. Wo federate, therefore, our assurance that we have, as yet, every indication of a healthy sum mer ; but, should it turn out that our impressions are wrong, we shall, whenever that is ascertained, be the first to make it known.” A good Toast, The following sentiment was given at a dill of July dinner in South Carolina: “The closing legacy of Andrew Jack son, — “I leave this great people prosperous and happy” May we never again inherit such prosperity and inoui! New York Money Market. Office of the Express, Sunday, July 21.

Tho Citizens Bank of New Orleans has made an arrangement with some of tho Cincinnati Banks to circulate one million of the money, and pay them in exchanges on the North, purchased in New Orleans.

From the lluff'Eo Com. AUv. Ki.vn.w at tub Falls. —Many of otir citi zens yesterday went to Ihe Falls, expecting to sec a brilliant display of British troops, who it was said were to bo concentrated, for the purpose of being reviewed by Earl Durham. They weto not disappointed in the review, lull (ho number ol men on die ground was much loss than had been anticipated, probably not exceeding GOO or 800 in ail: On reaching the Bavilion about eleven, wc found tlio troops, consisting of tlio lO.i regi, mcnl, a part of the S4th and a company of iho Dragoon Guards, paraded in tlio open level field in front of lire house. Beside tho troops, we have mentioned there was on the field a small parly of Flying Artillery, and a few Lancers on guaid. These troops made a very handsome appear- | anco, and among them wore many veterans who j had served in Egypt and throughout the Benin- j Hular war. Tho brass helmets of the Guards are ( beautiful and classical, but on such a day as yes. lerduy, must have been rather uncomfortable. A little after It, tho Countess of Durham, ac companied by several ladies, came on the ground. The Countess now would hardly come up io By ron’s description ot her when Lady Elizabeth Grey, but she is still a very woman. Soon after tho ladies made Choir appearance, tho Governor dressed as a general officer, and wearing tho insignia of the mder of Bath, accom panied by Sir John Colborne, and Admiral Sir Charles Bagel, and a brilliant f-'atf, rode, into tho field and took his station directly in front of lire line. Tho review was managed as such tilings usually aie, and concluded with a sham light, in which the 43d displayed considerable skill in m nceuvering and tiring. Tho soldiers, however, | attracted liitlo attention. They were mere ma chines, and oil eyes were directed to him who could pul them in motion, and diicct them al will. Tho Earl of Durham is about the middle height, very young looking, with rather a pleasant ex pression ol countenance, but there is nothing in his appearance strongly marked, or indicative of the great abilities be is reputed to possess. The general east of his features struck us as being de cidedly Yankee. His face is tolerable full, but has noihing of the usual bluff, English look. A very large number ol spectators, Canadians and Americans, were on the ground, and among .Lein wc noticed a tolerable prinkling ol Arncn. Can officers, who, wo were pleased to sec were i treated with marked courtesy, Col.

An in stance in which the skull of a boy resisted a very heavy weight, falling with much force on it, not long since came under our observation. The Imy was in a blacksmith's shop, sitting on the hearth, immediately in front of the fire.

A “pas-j sage at arms” is all that is expected of him, I ! and with what or with whom he contends is a 1 ; matter of entirely secondary import, so that j the weapon, the adversary, and the contest j waged, be so appointed as fully to develope his astonishing powers In all probability he is unconscious of this; though I have seen few privileged persons who were ignorant cl' their prerogative. I doubt nut 111 it for purity he is upon fair average [ground with his cotcmpo raries; but 1 doubt just as little that his im munities, in whatever they may he founded, are more freely used, and more fully tolerated, than the same exercise of the same license would be, in any other statesman in the coun try. lam far from conceiving, however, that Mr. Calhoun is at all conscious ul having chan ged his position. The more I contemplate this great statesman, in many respects the most extraordinary hi the country, and in all re spects u study, the more 1 am satisfied that he is ol that class o( enthusiasts which has (hr nislied to the World so many self imagined ' Messiahs; and 1 would as soon believe dial iirothers or Matthias doubted his own divinity, as that Mr. Calhoun could he brought either to suspect himself of a possibility to change, or entertain even a momentary doubt of his perpetual and unerring consistency. Hence his unrivalled influence on the imaginations of others.

But there, unfortu nately, the impression must end. Niither the ajj'cctions nor thn confidence of his country are for .Mr. Calhoun; though in noticing the •act, I iinM forbear to participate in the con clusion, ko far as it involves an impeachment ol his purity. Not being its champion, I for. Ik a- to be its assailant; though I must say that I should he the last to be surprised if, during the current I residential term, he were tonnd supporting the charter of a general bank of has own propo ing, and iso vindicating his con sistency in tin- act as to command the conli. dense ol some and the guarantee of others. Indeed, so far from beingMirprised that Mr. Calhoun should leluru to a support id’ a Uni ted fi ales Man k, 1 now leel myself fully au thorized, from liia own showing,to anticipate it wi h confidence.— In his speech of the 22d of March last, in reply to Mr. Webster, he says. “ I'hc only practical alle.nxu.livc was at that period !■ tv. ecu a league of State banks and a bank of the United Slates, as the fiscal agent of the government. I preferred them, as Ido now, the latter to the former,” ike. Afier the late overwhelming vole against the reconsideration of die rejected Independent Treasury bill, I appeal to Mr. Calhoun, in the spirit of fiankness, to say what now is the re maining “ alternative!” 'll ho docs not see it now, the coming fall (.-lections will convince him, an.l I shall call upon him to rot urn loins ancient nil ; pa, tec, to his early and first love, a limit 01 tin; United fcJiaieg.
