BENJAMIN BANNAN,Edifei- ELE EOWEN, dui:taut Editor l ovr .44.l:l,*(j .. 4mit;a:tavv,-} --- The English government has given netice; that the law admitting Wheat,' Indian corn, &c:, into its pries; free of duty, and which was only adopt ed under the extraordinary circumstances caused to , the famine which preVailed throughout itsdo minions last year, will 'cipire . on the first of March next, when the former sliding scale of duties will be resumed. Thii will ,place our bnmdstriffs on the same footing in that country that they occu pied previonslY, and will cut off almost altogether the export trade of those articles from tfiis coun try. . 1 . - • r The question now suggests What-anis we to do with our grabs? Howntre we to dis pose of the crops of the last year t and whefe is to be the reciprocity of trade; the foreign de. I mend; and the great prices our farmers were to obtain for their produce? These are considers timer that the people must soon feel, and that keenly, and wo merely advert to' them here to remind the friends of the fariff of 1346 that these ere some of the blessings and benefits" which tsoperationswillsoonbringabout. The English government will take care of itself, and it is no more,than just that we should do the same. It is worse than folly, therefore, to expect a market abroad, whets a wise courseofpolicy would cre ateene at - home with less fluctuation, and the consequent derangement of the business of the whole country. The duty inapo'sed by the old sliding scale, va ries on flour from 2s. 6,1. to Gs. sterling per barrel, and on wheat, from 9s. to les per quarter. On Indian corn and meal, we do not recollect the • figures, pat they are loss than on wheat. • ." • - ittE=M!TTS . AT THE CAPITOL. Theßill of Deb.. Cass;to raise ten additional regiments for the regular Service, has been under consideration in the United States Senate. for sometime. This force:would raise our army to upwards of ninety thousand men. and there is no possible necessity for such a number. Gen. Tap ler, with a handful of fresh.voltmtiars, defeated .22,000`Alezicans, cOmposing she grandest array *of 'Military force and discipline ever organized under that Republic. or that could be organized mow. Why, then, is this force necessary? The Secretary of War hail himself stated that seventy 'thousand men, at that:aghast, are amply sufficient 'to carry out the war c ivert on the mammoth seals vartatemplated by ,Mr. , Poik. If this farce were ever tieiissary; it was 'at the commencement of hoati!i• ties—for now that the enemy is fairly, beaten and vanquished, instead of overunning his country • with troops, we should concentrate our resources and make an emphatic demon:tration fur Peace,by striking a defensive line and maintaining it. This could be done with twenty or thirty thousand men, against all the force that the enemy could ' rally. We would thus secure indemnity at once, (if indemnity is to be the word) and with one fourth the loss of life and blood that must attend any other course. . • But the objects embraced in glis bill are of a political character. The Presidential canvass is approaching rapidly, and it is important to the administration to organize en effective Secret Polite throughout the country, to overawe the popular volt?, and prepare the people for another dose'of locofocoism. Thia bill would create some nine of ten hundred Recruiting Oniccre,whOwould be distributed over the land with swords and epaulettv, and drums,. and page, for the ostensible purpose of, receiving enlistments, but mainly to L I give direction tothe poltieal currents of the day, and perform whatever small chores their masters at Washington might entrust them with, id car _ zy out their nefarious schemes. 11r. Crittenden jroposed.a few days ago, in!, stead of the ten Regiment Bill, to put 30,000 volunteers at the disposal of the President. But this would not answer, Gen., Cass declared that volunteers were too independent and high.minded in their notions to be efficient under military dis- Oipline; that it required the haver order of society Io make good soldiers and to obey protiptly, and fee that reason he wished ten Reiimeots of Regu- krt . ! Is this locofocoism Is this the kind of compliments earned by . the Volunteer and Regu. lets now dragging out a miserable existence in Mexico? Does the deadly conflict of Buena Vista, justify a slander such as this! The "lower order of society"! Whopre thus stigmatizedl.--the gallant spirits who,when the war was assumed by our go,- .etnment,in the common feeling of Pelt - 1061.62,track. led on their armore,end ferisook r their homes! And for vehavl—.-to deserve the reproaches of their coun• • trymen !—to be slandered inlthe Senate by those who style themselves Domveralsi! If this is the kind of stuff Democracy is composed of, may the lower order of society be forever saved from it! • Our county is even now full of the s e emissaries of locofocubern, in military fatigue-dress. If this passes, upwards of one tho,usantimorevrill be _fettled ripen the country, „and every town and village in the Union will be supplied with them. It frequently occurs that those who cilia as pri vates, ate immediately employed to ?until, and there can be little doubt but that the Intention is to render the polittes of the country the principal field for the employment of the Ten Regiments. —Henry Clay arrived at W,ashingtore en Tues. .slay last.

Its oddity may perhaps excite some attention front the locefocos, but it presents no ground worthy the. fame of Mr. Johnson. =Mr. Ritchie, of the /Mien, has been re.adnrit. tell into the penate Chamber.

Johnson: A friend has, corn. marketed to us the thrilling facts of the narrow escape with life of our fellow-citizen. Mr. S. S. Satindens, from the awful destruction of the Johnson. 'Unable, from • the number of pare:n iers on board, to procure a berth, he was sleeping noon le table in the Social Hall, directly over the hollers. At the momenta his first consciousness. he found himself lying on the lower deck, scalded red bruised, with a piece of. timber lying' across hii legs, which confined him to the spot. The fire was raging in tho fragments of the host, on the side towards the shore; the horses already Maddened with thou:tiding steam, were now rear ing and plunging •.in inereued agony, as the flames came upon them: and most borribleof all; among them, covered to the weiat,with fragments al the lama, lay two men, stretching out their hands, and calling in hopeless agony far help. Mr. Saunders saw no relief for himself or others, and endeavored to compose his thoughts for death: The dimes had almost reached him, when some of the horses in their struggles, moved the timber that held him. and he was free! He ran to the outer sidei of the boat. The current was swift. and the ice floating flat. He knew that. injured as he 4 was.he would not be able,to escape by su•irn ming. Turning hack again, he fortunately kund wet blanket.threw it around him, rushed through the dames on the other side of the boat, and got t rardy ashore. Mr. et.. is vet, we believe, at MeV'. ;title. He is badly scalded and bruised; but, it is ,thought, not dingerously. DEATH OF A CENTENNARIAN.—A COI- I ;nred woman, 'well";known in the Southern part iof the .city, as OM Aunt Hannah,". died on j'aesday morning. at the house of Mr. G.

During the revolutionary war, Aunt Hannah, then a slave, was owned by a person acting as baker to the army, undei command of General Washington, and vas employed in assist ing turn in bis labours, in which capacity she fol lowed the army, and was present at many of tbo scenes of peril and triumph through which it posed. During many of the latter years of her, We, Aunt Hannah ,lived in the family of Mr. Sumwan„•performing the humble duties allotted to her with honesty and fidelity, and in nothing rejoicing more than is securing an attentive Is.
