We have received nothirv of peculiar inlcrcs
£om Milled&eviUe hy the last mails. The legisla
ture hve been principally engaged in the discus
sien of local matters —such as bills for the division
of counties; bills granting divorce; bills to Icgi
<;iaste bastards, &c &c On these grave subjects,
l Toat deal of labor has been besto wed, and many
f.raiua of lodv eloquence becu exhibited ; which,
Shhough of vast importance to the speaker, are
j.iUo much so, to the listener or the reader.
There is much matter of serious import, how
ever! ettbre the different committees, and op the
taUe. xvhWe will probably he pressed for warp
lithe heel oftlw session, when members will say

be have received from correspondent at,
Muledgeviile, the Report of the committee on the
Peniteatiiry.
This committee has gone into the subject at.
onsiderable length ; they acknowledge that the
i/stem has failed; “the experiment,’’ say they,
‘‘ius presented little, indeed nothing, upon which !
to predicate a hope of future usefulness ; tiicy
taw* found the punishment endured incompetent
t'j the reformation of crime, and they fear that the

.crimesof a certain grade have ijojt increased.—
hit pr.son does no* appear to he a. place of sut
ai. ’ penitence, hut rather a refuge ijerm the
ills of tlie outer world.”
They do not, however, recommend an abandon-
Pent of the system. “So far as the experiment
p'ts gone,” they t hserve, “it has riot proven any
“in? against the Penitentiary system of punish
wit as such, hut much against the manner m
Vinch thn fJeorgili Penitentiary is and has been
*PgulateJ.*’ Thai therefore recommend a conti-
of the system, under very important re-
Witiations. Among those are, an alteration of
Teiiitcutiary emlice so as to admit of solitary
friufiuemcnt, while the convicts are nat at labor ;
2‘uore rigid sequestration from tRi world ; pro

valuable and able document may be anticipated.

for an alledged libel on l ?aniel Webster. There
was a long cancel sat ion between the counsel of

unable to hear much of it distinctly. The trial is
assigned for Monday, the loth of December next.
Key-Jersey —The Legislature of Nevv-Jersey
(says the Boston Patriot) has adjourned, to hold
another session in January, when a Senator of the
United States is to he elected; to succeed Mr.
Dickerson, whose term of service empires on the

again chosen to the Senate, as his ? services in the

American fin. —Professor Hitchcock, of Ajji

obtained from a hitherto *■ known kind of ore
found at Goshen, in this slate, globules of well
characterised met dim tin. It conesponds exactly
with the genuine English tin, and no difference
was found in the results of different Experiments,

Sernvr is y,ith sincere regret
(says the New-York Commercial Advertiser of the
2 >th ult ) that v f e have heard the following parti
culars'of an accident which bale! thb North Ame
rica steamer last evening, while on her passage to
Albany. !dho left, her moorings ct ifie dock, at
the usual hour of five last evening, with three
hundred passengers. She sprung a leak near
t'alu-vell'ri landing, and was run ashore on the
fids near West Point to save her. The Constel
lation steamer, which came along soon afterwards,
took ns many of her passengers as she could, and
pursued her way to Albany. The remainder of the
passengers were subsequently taken off A brought
back to ibis city by the De itt Clinton. When
the De Witt Clinton left her, it was near high
wafer, and the stern of the boat vvu sunk to her
guards. Jt presumed that the boat will be got
off. 1 ’*
’ Since the above was in type, we have received
the following. The North America -landed heir
passengers at thc dock at West Point, and the ves
sel was then hauled on shore, and the furniture
taken on deck are making to get her
aHoal immediately, it is supposed that the acci
dent occurred from the breaking of one of ihe
gla ruling pqcs that go through the Lotlom of the
boat. s

A curious case has arisen in New-York, hnder
the'Morgan law, making it felony for any person
to attempt forcibly te remove a citizen of the state
out of the same without lawful authority. A My.
Northrop was arrested by a deputy sheriff, for
debt, in Connecticut, but by some means escaped
from the officer and returned to Troy, his place of
residence. Lie was followed by the said deputy
and some assistants, retaken and lodged *r> Albany
jail, on the way back to Connecticut. A warrant
w 7 as issued by the recorder of Troy, under the
act above named, agajnst the deputy sheriff and
his assistants, and the whole were arrested and
taken back. Oil hearing, the recorder decided of
course, that the right to retake did not extend into
New-York. Northrop was discharged, and the
other party held to bail to answer thc felony at the
next term of Oyer and Terminer.

REMARKS. :•
Cotton.—Since our last report there has beet,
a good demand for uplands and about 5000 bales
have changed hands at from 9| cents a 10 & 10-!
mostly at 9 7-8 to 10 for good fair quality for the
Liverpool market. Several hundred ba'-eg have
been sold at’,lo4, and in a few insiances .0 l 2 has
been paid for some small parcels of ex;ra prime.
The stock on hand for saje is light, notwithstand
ing the river has now been navigable for steaiis
boats for about’ two weeks, and the article
come forward.very, abundantly. We have Liver
pool accounts, by way of to 22d Ocf.
which state less activity in the market, but prices
fiifly, supported. •; ,
Rice.—ln the early part of he week some
sales were made at 3 1-2 for second quality, sincp
which purchasers are unwilling, to give former
prices and holders are firm in asking last week's
full raves—f-the article is much enquired for, bii£
we hear of no sales having been made for ona v>r
two days past. * . ,v
Groce,rje;s-—During the week Groceries have
been rather dull, and we have heard .of but, fe\p
transactions. Some small sales ofSt. Croix su
gar have been made at 10 1-4 a 10 1-2 ; coffee, 13
a 14 1-2; whiskey, 32; rum, 35 a 36 ; mojassee,
34 for West India, and 36 a 37 for New Orleans ;
about 8,000 bushels cait {the cargo of the ship Ce
res) we learh sold at 55 cents, the purchaser bay
ing the privilege of bonding. .., f,.*,.
Flour—Has declined in price ; some ealec have
been ms.de within a day two at $9, for the West
India market. * , •,<. .
Corn. —The quantity in market is very small,
and that principally held by one house ; it is re
tailing brisk at 75 cents. ‘No cargo afloat.
FREjqiiTs.—ln the beginning of the week 3-4d.
was frpely given for freights to Liverpool; since
which a decline has taken place and 11-11- is th*,
highest rates that can now- be übt ined. Several
vessels are loading for France at 1 5-8 a 1 1-2 cts.;
and within a few days the Frenc i ship Hrfcriette
has been taken up at 11-4 cen.s. Rice :>er t ierce
