An ou'hrcaking and riot of a most serious and

was raised, '• Americans to the rescue;” which
brought a number of Americans to the assistance
of the sailors. And the shouts of the Irishmen
called fourth a number of their countrymen.—
This was about 2 o’clock, and hy 4, it was said,
not less than 5000 were engaged in the scuffle,

The Crops—The Harvest .
The Baltimore American of the Clh inst. speak
ing of the crops, and harvest, says.—“An all
bountiful Providence has not only blessed our
country with abundant crops, tint also with the
most favorable season for their in gathering. Wc
never recollect to have witnessed a more gonial
period for the growth and final ripening of the
crops than the last six or eight weeks have pre
sented, nor a more advantageous condition ol
(he weather since the harvest has begun. Each
day’s continuance of such weather as vve have
had for the eight or lon just past, secures to the
country hundreds of thousands of bushels of
wheat.
In Maryland the husbandmen arc busy, and
extraordinary wages arc given to the best harvest
hands, in order that the crops may bo secured.
As much as five to six dollars a day have been
paid in some cases, to first rale cradlers.
The Norfolk Herald of Wednesday says—“A
gentleman who visited a few days ago, the fertile
regions of the Edonton district, 1 informs us that
the wheat, which was never bettor or more
abundant, has all boon safely harvested ; and that
tho Indian corn crop surpasses all that ho has
ever seen, in tho luxuriance of its growth.”
Respecting the wheat crop in Virginia, the
Farmer’s Register of June 23d, says—
The present wheat crop throughout Virginia,
and oilier adjacent .States so far as vve have hoard,
is the best, in iiuaulity and quality combined, that
has grown for many years—if not the best that
has ever been made. Borne partial disasters, on
particular farms, have been suffeicd from chinch
bug, bessain fly, or rust; but nothing worth na
ming as affecting the general crop of Virginia. A
more considerable cause of diminution will he
found in the circumstance that there is less surface
now under wheal than a few years ago; as the
repeated losses and failures of wheat have caused
almost every farmer to withdraw some portion of
his field (this part promising the least product,)
from wheat culture, and substituting oats or rye.
The crop is now so far advanced in lower \ irgiu
in, that it niay ho considered out ol danger, except
from continued wet weather during the time for
harvest ; by which cau-.e, we hare known one
crop (in 1821) nearly lost, after it was ripe
enough to bo reaped, flic weather now ( lunc
25th) is very favorable.
Harvest was begun on some of the most highly
improve 1 marled land on James river on the 1 -lh
inst., with purple straw wheat—which was an
early as (what is called) May wheat, elrc.vhe.ro.
was ready for tho scythe. There has been a pre
dominance of cold weather for the time of year,
through the last fit) days, or more, and the growth
and ripening of wheat were every where more
backward than unusual. If the crop should prove
as abundant as wi now expect, it will ben most
important m< m ; of restoring the commercial
prosperity of the 1 oitcd .‘vale.-, and especially o!

Cape. Kedersen, of the brig Patscy 1!.
arrived last night from Omoa and Belize ij>t
of June, via Nassau, New Providence, that the
revolution in Central America continued in
the interior. The revolutionary party consis
ting of about COG men, were beaded by a youim
and ignorant mulatto, named Fan-era. who '
with Ids party were committing depredations
of all kinds, and that several travellers had i
been robbed and murdered by them. I
The Provinces of Costa Rica and Nicaragua i
had declared their independence, and that of I

up its allegiance to the Central American gov. .
eminent. G. W. Montgomery, bearer of des
patches from the United States for Guatamala

„ , , NEW YORK, July G. [
►Mocks today advanced in consequence of the t
news from Washington. The rejection ol Mr l
Wright’s bill by the House was cause enough to
let the springs up. United Slams Bank shares -
left off at Jl9s —divided off. Whether the mar- v
ket is to lie freed from any further merciless
attacks of Van Buren, remains to be seen. The .
passage of Mr Curtis’ bill would give great relief
to the money doings of tbo country. It would C
facilitate tho resumption of cash p'ayment and
assure the people that government was done
tinkering the currency. But it would be too
great a blessing to expect the passage of this bill.
A factious Senate and a wicked President stand 1
in the way of the people’s prosperity. After the e
rising of Congress, wo should not be surprised to t
see a Treasury edict pul out, even more illegal <
and oppressive, than the celebrated ordinance of i
July, 1830. The activity of the slock market, of
our import and export trades, of our manufac
tures, and of our home industry, must depend ,
measurably, on their own inherent powers.—
That fhoy can slowly move forward independent
ly of (he action of government, it mny safely ho .
predicted, when wo consider llio helplessness of t
the administration. But the very moment the ,
foreign impor; trade is revived, the government’s ~
power to do harm revives. Wo cannot there- \
lore, return to the full enjoyment of our resources, c
lill a change of our rulers is effected. Their |
whole policy is (o cripple and destroy trade,— y
The men who advocate such measures should 13
not rule ever us.
ft is pretty well ascertained now (hat llio Is
of August will be the day appropriated lor rc .
sumption of specie payments hy the U. S. Bank* •
By that time the Banks of Mississippi will ho-sn- ,
aided to follow in her wake. Already tho Wren
don Bank is paying its live dollar bills in specie.
Whatever difference of opinion may have pre
vailed respecting the non resumption policy of
Mr. Biddle for two months after our banks had
resumed, no one can that a gene
ral resumption effected by this means is far more
desirable than the system which dictates the prin
ciple of “taking care of one's self.” ft will he
found in the end that the liberal views of Mr.
Biddle and his more liberal policy, will have had
for thoir object the good of the whole country, j
ami not of any particular section.
The iMalo Bunk of Mississippi is getting under ‘
weigh. The commissioners of Hinds county
have valued and given certificates for property to *
the amount off 1,307,7-0. This is to tic mort- .
gaged to the bank and the loans to that country
to be quadrated according to this standard. And
so ol the other counties.
The suggestion in our last, that the President ,
would apply for more means to carry ou his gov. ]
eminent, is strengthened by the following slute
mentof the condition of the Treasury.

ot sufficient evidence to convict, no witness

Gll Monday the eight political prisoners

prison in Montreal and placed on board a
steamboat for conveyance to Quebec. Pre
cautions were taken to prevent any popular
commotion—whereat the Herald is furiously

was to spare the feelings of the prisoners, who
migU perhaps have been hissed and yelled at,

i Ia; Buffalo Commercial 01 Friday mentions
an affray between Capt. Davis, pf the seboon

w loch he would not permit—by reitsoui where

ble of <1 boating. This is bis version of the
story.
The following is from the Detroi t Advertiser
of June HO
Tim Sr. Ci.aiii BucAKtuns Rom ■mi.—We
learn from the collector of tills po rt that a sebr.
in the service of’llic bucaribcrn was 1 captured on
Thursday, some few miles below the country
scat of St. Clair. Having understood, from the
movement in that vicinity, that an expedition
was on foot, (he collector immediately started
for the scene of operations. A snnl (fierce embark
ed oiilliesteamboat Gratiot, and soon got wind
of the piratical craft, which it sciima, had been
across tc die Canada shore and committed depre
dations upon ilic inhabitants.
As the Gratiot approached the vessel with a
view to compel her to surrender, a brisk firing
upon her commenced ffiim the opposite shorn.
Finding themselves in peril, (ho crew of the ves
sel took to the shore mid dispersed themselves
through Iho woods. The vessel was then taken
possession of by the revenue officers.
They found two or three Cam alvin prisoners
m the hold, some fifteen barrels of flour which
had been plundered, about a do/.n n stand of arms,
and other small matu re Thu ver stl was brought
to ibis port to be condemned. One of the prison
ers, we understand, was induced to come down,
by whom it is thought some ini portant testimony
may ho laid before tbo grand ji| ry now in session.
We arc advised that most, i f no t all, the crow,
were Canadians. This promp tness on the part
of the officers and ciliv.ens o( >St. Clair, will, it
is confidently hoped, crush another of lliosrt in.,
cipiont piratical expeditions wlii.ch iiave from
time to time annoyed our fron tier.

which ho relates ; or to p.-’icrvo in « written
description the natural and pirap.“ eloquence ol
his recital. A more touching ami ,';cai. '‘lending j
story we never listened to ; and in throvying ( i
gether, in a very hurried manner, some of ha t
most prominent incidents, wo fool that wo owe
an apology to Capt. lluhhard for rendering an .
account of a disaster which, in its minutest de- |
tails, is of the most intense and melancholy in- ■
lornst. For tho inferences wliich wc draw from
the statements of Capt. Hubbard, wo aro alone
responsible ; ihougli they are in every instance
confirmed by his own impressions.
At the lime of the explosion, Capt. Hubbard
was asleep. He immediately jumped from his
berth, and though nearly suffocated by the steam,
made Ids way to tho Indies’ cabin, in seare.li of
his wife. Tolling her to dress, and to remain
quiet till his return, he again repaired to the
cabin where he dressed himself and joined ids
wife. At that time lie found the hold was filling
fast wilh water, and ho immediately commenced
the formation of rafts from settees, tables, mid
other moveables, on which many of the passen
gers launched into the Ocean, (’apt. Hubbard
and Ids wile remained on llio main deck, till the
water was nearly three foot deep—when I hey
climbed to the promenade deck, where there
were some fifty persons collected, chiefly fe
males. The feeling that prevailed seemed to
be that of resigned determination. There was
n subbing and weeping, hut no turbulent ex
pression of despair. A quiet preparation for
an awful catastrophe, appeared to be univer
sal. '(’here were husbands dud wiles, who
embraced each oilier with culm alieclton, and
whose only expression was that ‘‘they would
die. in each other's arms.” i
When the deck began to roll over, Oapt. Hub
bard directed Ids wiib to keep by him, as he i
followed tho roll of the boat, witli the intention c
of reaching the side. In lids way they had |
nearly effected their escape, (/apt. lluhhard |
had succeeded in grasping the keel, when he |
dropped Ids hold to extend a hand to his wile. j
Bhe reached him, and was clinging to his neck ; ,
while two other females wiio had followed close
in their track, wore also hanging upon him. At
lids moment a sea swept over them, which [
washed away all who had boon upon the deck.
Oapt. Hubbard perceived that in this siluadori, ,
hull) himself and wife would inevitably perish. .
They wore both sinking, when from exhaustion,
or in a movement to change her hold, she re- 1
fixed her grasp, and they both sunk together. h
From this moment he never saw hoi more. On
rising, Capt. Hubbard encountered a box wliich 11
had floated from the wreck, on which ho remained \
some half hour, in a stale of almost utter uncon. i
sciousucss, when he was taken upon the promo- <
mule deck, to which a number of other passen- I
gers had been floated on fragments of the wreck. I
Os all wiio were on that pari of llio boat when it
capsized, he thinks not a soul survives but him
sell.
(kipt. Hubbard is of opinion, wiih most of
thoan who remained upon tho wreck, lliat the
boat in which the male Hibbcrt escaped, might 1
have been so employed as to save the lives of 1
ncaily all on hoard. About, ten minutes after '
the explosion, Ilihbert put off, and in reply to the 11
queries of a passenger, staled that ho desired to '
sec tho cxlen'. of the injury lhal hud been sirs
tained, and if any thing could ho done. From
that time he did not come near tho wreck, and
how Ins boat was filled was a mystery to all on r
board. Tim bow part which broke from llio 1
slcrtl.and kept afloat, was siiilieient lo float all *
the passengers il they could invo readied it: j
Without Hie boat thin was impossible. With *
the bool all could have been transfenod from the
promenade deck and the fragments without dilfu
euby.
One incident is mentioned in this connection, *-
which is beyond any thing else, in Ilii s melanclio ’
ly disrtsler, painfully affecting. While the boat
was lying off, < lie of the pa Mongers, franlic widi
alarm, and without knowing what be was about,
jumped toward her, but fell fir short, i1 < I urn- ,
ed nt once, sen idle of bis situation, and probably H
remembering whom he bad hit behind, with the I
view of regaining tho wreck, nil tv* screamed !
to him by name, “where are you 1 where are 1
you!" iie replied “I'm here, my di ar, I’m here.” 1

trated by fatigue, Six escaped in the manner
we have described,—Seven were rescued by the
Henry Carnation, a;:J !«n perished on the raft, of
hunger and exposure. The names of all these
navo been already puhlishcj.
Captain Hubbard speaks with llio warmest ads
miration ol the conduct of Miss Rebecca Lamar,
and o her singular firmness and self possession—
with her never failing effort to cheer and encour
age them—and rally their sinking and despair,
mg spirits. To use his own language,—“She
was our preserving angel.” The other ladies on
U.” wreck behaved with remarkable fortitude.
We .*‘«vc |>ol time to comment on the conduct
of the mat.:, i'rl withdrawing the boat, and in re
porting at Wilmington that there wete no survi.
vors; nor on the unfortunate mid-unpardonable
readiness of Capt. Allen to infer from the silua.
lion of the wreck, that all on hoard had perished.
That the mate was guilty of a gross abandonment
ol his duly, there can he no doubt. The con
sciousness that a single human being has perish
ed through his selfishness or negligence, must In*
to him a source of lusting pain, to which no hue
man rebuke can add a pang.
Among the names of the survivors of the wreck,
of the Pulaski, which we do not remember yet to
1 have seen in print, are those of B. W. Fosdick
|ol Boston, A. (J. Bennett of Mississippi,Lieut. J.
B. Thornton of the IJ. 8. Array, and Andrew

witness had seen the prisoner enter ccrlain

ty that was not foe own; but this was not

bring forward a faggot, and cull upon the

w.-is unscrupulously identified, upon which the
learned Judge, while making his note of the
circumstance, said fas ha thought, to himself
