Private letters, however, do not speak as dispat'itgingly as the public prints of the unfavorable condition of the weather and crops. That Flour and Wheat and all descriptions of Grain have advanced is certain. The price, therefore, of Ameri can Flour in Bond is about seven and three qurrier dollars, and the advance in exchange will nearly pay the expense of laying it down in England. Tills price, so long as it con tinues up will sustain the market here. It, .however, ought to be taken'into account (hat it has often happened in England that prices have been carried up so high as to affect the averages and in this way to real ize, an immense stock in bond, which com ing into market usually, carries the price down again.

There is perhaps in therbutitltss variety of ‘'Humorous'-.Tales”-‘which 1 uur weekly journals furnish, none whose circumstances, and scone of action,' can give to the Ameri can reader Unit satisfaction and acceptance iis those which’ transpired during the Revo-, lutionary war.

The humurqus incident following, Is one of the many practical jokes related by an bid whose honorable scars bore testimony of the active part lie took in those feudal limes: ' ' In a portion of (he'New Hampshire militia wa,s a character whose real name may per haps as. well be covered- with'that of. Bob Teal ns any oilier; He was extremely young; being in the niinotjibonds of eighteen'years—a c mere stiiplfflg; yet with a strong robust frame, and withal, as good a soldier as the Granite de tachment could command. He had a round good-natured face, and a-sharp intelligent eye, a well balanced mind, and last of all that indispensible-qualification for a good soldier—an invincible courage. ■ And though an humble private, he was universally re spected for his daring, and admired and be loved for his witaud good nature. With his corps and more intimate, companions he was a general favorite; could siiig. the best song; tell the toughest story and Crack the dryest joke of any in the camp. Every harmless adventure of roguery which was invented by his fun loving companions was sure to. find him cither directly or indirectly connected with it.

The'business part of decamping being over, the army took up its line of march. Robert with a waggish cart companion, had proceed ed but a few miles, when a shrewd, suspicious looking fellow, laboring with a hive of bees under, each,arm, appeared by the side of the soldiers. He was'evidently’ much fatigued with his heavy burden; and after supporting ifsomc- way-with great - labor, - pcesc-ntcd-it with the appearance of much generosity, to the thankful hand carhnen; who solacing themselves with the anticipation of a rich treat, loaded the donor >vilh many compli ments and thanks. They had not, however, enjoyed their newly acquired property but a few hours, when an old character; of a sordid, though wealthy reputation, and withal a rank tory, came riding furiously after the army ns he said for the detection of thieves, and seeing the hives, claimed ihctn as his property, being stole the preceding night:—charging also Robert and his companion with the theft.— It was promptly and stoutly' denied by the harmless'couple; and though the soldiers cor roborated the fact that they were presented |by a stranger, the exasperated horseman would hear to no vindicating statements, but ■declared that (hey were all a set of “infer | nal rag-a-muffins.” who would, tell one false- I hood to substantiate another:—and was about i to leavedhe field with a volley of oaths and I imprecations upon the wronged and indig nant soldiers, who, if theTestrictions of dis cipline had hot confined them to (heir ranks, ] I would have i;esentcd the insult, in a manner j iit deserved. Robert coolly listened to the j old fellow’s abuse, and thought he imgbtj I spare him a few of his bees without robbing i | himself) and ns he had acquired the difficult 'art of handling (hem, he prepared to use the little scorpions to a good purpose. Being employed at'the cart, he took advantage of (he liberty thus allowed, and while the sol diers engaged- the attention of the .enraged bee owner, by cutting sarcasms upon his per son, thus adding fuel to his wrath, Bob filled his capacious fists with the tenants-of the; hiyeS7 and stcpprng~fronr the main "bodyof (Tie army, accosted the wrathful tory: “Do you, charge us with stealing yOuf bees?”,, ' , , 4 “Yes! you infernal thievish heap of impu dence.”- • ' v . “But, sir,” said Teal, with a fearless and roguish accent, which niade the old thrcaCncr foam with rage, “I assure-you, you are, mis taken—and evenrifj.your conjecture .were correct, it would have been'better- had you > not let buTllie vials of your wrath until you 1 were more certainmf the tliief.” . “You consummate scoundrel!.,you. base born lump of impertinence! how dare you use such language to one of his Majesty’s Collectors?” “ Wc care not,” said Bob, advahclngnear er the horse, “whether you are one of his Majesty’s .Collectors, or his boot black; roy ar.fiiypr.has little to do with us.’’ ; J , v ‘.'But you w'ill find wlia^roy,,influence' is,” muttered-the Collector through his.teeth— "for to-morrow'mornihg, scoundrel,- prepare (o'be court-marshalled’’—and hestuck his spurs into the side.of his long-tailed"Ari'da lusion,- to,'gallop with bis. complaint,to head quarters,:. .1,-,:,.?,.., : "Strip a moment!” cried Bob.

The bill was signed oh the 26th, being the 11 th day after its presentation. So long had the President retained it, the 'apprehension of a veto-became yery general, and; after the 10th day 'had elapsed, it is said (hat one ol (he Committee on Enrolled-Bills waited upon General Washington, and very eagerly exclaimed “Now we have you!” “Thebill has become a law by the Constitution!’? Hu t the President that day finally 'decided ’to' sign the bill, and returned it accordingly. The President had-great. difficulties in re gard to it, arid a veto message was actually prepared by Mr. Madison, by request, anil is nmv extant. The bill to renew the charter of (he old Bank in 1811, was defeated by the casting vote of Geoige Clinton.

(lie Prcs’ujcnl’s mind, on a view of, every tiling, wliiclr is urged for' and against this bill, is tolerably clear that it is unauthorized by the Constitution; if. thfe pro and the eon hang so even as" to balance his judgment, a just fekpcclTur the wisdom of the Legisla ture, 'de.cidethe balar.de in favor of thqir opinion: it is chiefly for cases, where they arc ’misled by error, ambition, or interest, (hat the Constitution lias"placed a check in the negative of the President.” The charter of the Fiscal Bank which pas sed Congress on the 6th ull., was presetffed to President Tvleh on Saturday, the 7th, at about 1 o’clock, P/M. - Bubbles oF Federalism. k Honest,-John Banks, the, whig candidate fpr Governor, “stands’ solemnly pledged to serve but one term.” So says the Telegraph of.last.wcek, andvso say all lire federal pa pers. ■ ' - ’ . ; The people of Pennsylvania have had an [ example of “one term” federal rule. Hon est Joseph Hither did serve,,as honest John , Banks pledges himself to serve, bubone term. , And in that one term was crowded on the i people-AN IMMENSE INCREASE 01? ; STATE DEBT; A UNITED STATES BANK, THAT HAS BROUGHT RUIN UPON;THOUS AN US; and AN APPOR TIONMENT LAW THAT HAS D.IS , FRANCHISED LARGEHISTUICTS OF THE STATE. All this was done in but “one term;” and now honest John Banks, the federal lawyer, appointed Judge by Jo seph Ritner, begs the people to debt him “but one term,” in order that the wise meas ures commenced by Governor Ritner may be finished ; for honest John sustained hon | n\eaSurc3“firat''fi6'nest'TiiatfdCT» sbTgjgeift3i-^ : -0.- re-elected, and thus s.efVcfsVx years. Thus, if ho be a good governor, like Porter, lie will be re-elected; if he be a bad Governor, like Ritner, three years is too long for him to serve.' But honest John Banks is wiser than -the constitution: he is wiser and better, loo kt) than ‘Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Mon roe, Jackson, Mifflin, M’Kcan, Snyder and Wolf, for all these served twoT terms. It was reserved for lionet Jotyi Banks to find ■ ' oot. ajid for the federal newspapers to pub lish,that all these great and good men were, made wrong; that, had they'beeu patriots, like honest John Banks, they would have stood “solemnly pledged to serve but one term.” Honest John was not in lav-of of a single term, when he offered himself for re election to Congress in the Mercer .district; but-he became a convert to the one/term principle, when he obtained from hisTVlend Joseph Ritner, under the old constitution, the appointment of Judge for life! * He is sirigularly coiListent. He accepts a judgeship for life, but he cannot, on princi j pie, be Governor more than three years!— His friends say they arc confident of his e lection, and he too seems to take it for grant ed: then, why docs he not resign? Hestill holds last'to his office as Judge. Governor Porter, when he was a. candidate in 1838, had 1 teen elected to the state senate; but,-»of having the fear of Joseph Ritner and That!,--, deus before bis eyes, he resigned his- office of Senator. But this is not the way of hon [ cst John Banks, lie is not only in favor of lone term, but also in favor of not quitting 'dtis hold upon one office, until, he gets anoth er.—-Key alone. . .
