LATEST NEWS.
Arrival of the Sltumcr Liverpool.
We stop the press to announce, says the
Now York Courier and inquirer, the arn
val of the Steamer Liverpool, Capl. Fayrer,
II N. She sailed from Liverpool on the
1st. ult. and brings us papers of the dale,
and of London to the day preceding. The
hour at which these were received, compel
us to be very brief in our notice of their con
tents. There doos not seem to be any material
alteration in the state of the London Money
Market, though the bank of England is evi
dently very ill at ease. It in alleged that the
plan of selling off the dead weight has not
succeeded, tho Bank not having bearable
to continue to obtain the price it demlinded.
That institution had entered into a negotia
tion with the Bank of France for a supply
f two million? of dollars, which was not,
however, yet concluded.
The state of the weather, as the harvest
timo npproached, was a subject of intense
auxiety. Thfr accounts are contradictory,
but wo are sorry to say, the last are decided
ly bad. This is also the case in France,
where the price of bread is risen.
The cotton market, it will bo seen with
'.pleaburo, has improved.
In English polities there is nothing of
great iuterest,but important intelligence has
been received from Constantinople. Sultan
Mahmoud is dead, and his Army totally
routed by tho Egyptians under Ibraham.
The Capt. Pasha had treacherously deliv
ered up the whole Turkish fleet to" Mche
met AH.
The Son of the Sultan had ascended to
the throne of his father, lie had appoint
ed his Ministers, and negotiations were
going on' for an adjustment of the difficul
ties with Egypt, under the auspices of the
great European powers.
The chamber of I'ccrs of Franco had
passed sentence on the insurgents. Bar
bers alono was condemned to death, and
the rest to different degrees of punishment.
The sentence of Barbers was contrary to
the advice of his Ministers, changed by the
King to confinement at tho gallies for life.
The celebration of,thc th rcc days had pass
ed over without any material incident.
Lonpox, July 31. From the Paris pa
pers and letters it would annear. not nnlv
that the accounts were substantially true, of
an auempicu arrangement between the Bank
of England and the Bank of France, but
mi wo auuuional mortification is imposed,
of two failures in the applications made
jmd'to the Bank of France, and the other to
the capitalists of Paris a disgrace, which

VNOTHER BOUNDARY QUESTION. !
We regret to learn that there is great
probability of serious disturbances between
the btalc of Missouri and tho J eritory of
Iowa, on account of a dispute arising out of
sumc misunderstanding, connected with the
bnuudaiy line of tho respective parties.
Missouri lays claim to a certain portion of
land, lying" between that State and Iowa,
and has authorised her public otticers to as
sess ihe people residing thereon. This
couiso of procedure the people of Iowa
derm to he unjust, and are uetermind to
resist at every hazard. Wo hope that the
question in dispute may bo amicably settled
between the contending parties; yet from
present appearanres, which were strong in
dications of hostile feelings, we can scarce
ly indulge in the belief that an adjustment
of existing didiculties will bo affected with
out an unhappy resort to violence. Tho
land m question has heretofore been under
tire ji risdiction of Wisconsin and Iowa; and
although we do not understand the precise
nature of the dispute, wc cannot sec why
Missouri should, at this late day, seek to
exercise an authority which sho has never
before claimed, and thus engender embitter
ed feelings with her neighbors which may
perhaps result in bloodshed when by wai
ting until the assembling of tho next Con
gress, a decision will bo given by that body
which will put the matter at rest. Tho
claims of Missouri, for aught wc know,
may be just, and she may ho entitled to tho
disputed tract of land: but the present posi
tion nnd the one she has heretofore assum
ed, ought to make her satisfied to await
the decision of Congress, an event which
she, as well as Iowa, will in the end be
compelled to submit to.
The last Burlington, (Iowa) Gazette, calls
the attention ot its reader to the existing
state of allairs, by the following remarks.
The determ ined stand that Territory has
taken, indicated any thing but a continuation
of peace between the parlies. The Ga
zette says: ' We are not arlarmists, but it
must be acknowledge that tho controversy
between this 1 erntory and the stato of Mis
souri is beginning to wear a serious uspect
The assessment being now made, the next
move by Mi3souii will be to enforce the
payment ol taxes, anu tmis will nave arri
ved the crisis. The duties of the authori'
tics of Iowa, in such an event, are plain,
and must bo fulfilled. The first officer of
Missouri who is found engaged in exerci
sing the functions of his office in Van Buret)
county, in this Tciitory, (or in the territory
in dispute,) will be arrestecl and imprisoned.
To do this, tho sheriff of the county, if we
mistake not, is clothed with power to call to
his aid tho militia ot the county; and should
that prove to be inadequate, to call upon the
Comrnande r-in-uhicf for aid from the militia
of the Teiritory. Should these occurren
ces, which to us seem inevitable, transpire,
what course is it expected of Gov. Lucas
to pursue ? To us it seems he has no dis
cretion in the matter he is bound to see
that the' laws are faithfully executed, and to
give, so far as in hisnowrr, protection to
the citizens.. It may trBrefore be reasonably
supposcd,yiiat any and every attempt by a
foreign power to exercise jurisdiction over
any part of Iowa, will be resisted by him
vigorously and determinedly, This is the
only conclusion which the slightest acquain
laince with the character of the man will
warrant; and we may here add, that in this
course the people of Iowa, with unexampled
unanimity, will sustain him.
To Iowa, we say, let your conduct be
firm, but temperate use no threats or va
poring menaces be strict in enforcing your
laws and the general govermeut, wo doubt
not, will in time, give you ample protec
tion." State Caplitol Gaz-
UNITED STATES BANK.
A gentlemen called in at our office yester
day, and made us acquainted with the fact
that the monster," that boasts of its mil
lions of specie, had refused his demand for
current cuin, to the trifling amount of one
hundred and thirty dollars Would it
havo been believed that the United States
Bank would resort to the gag of paying out
Sovereigns for all demands of specie 1 Do
the officers of the Bank think that they will,
by the practice of such a course, inspire
confidence, so much desired in the Banks?
We assure them that they will not; and
though the people may suffer the fleecing of
tho friend who called yesterday of more
than one per cent., theyS will bear it, and
draw every cent of foreign gold that they
may possess, out of the Bank. Besides,
there is not an individual who would depos
ite specie with them under such circum
stances ! No act is more calculated to cre
ate a husbanding of coin of keeping it out
of tho vaults of the Banks than this. Noth

A PItEOIOUS RASCAL.
A shoemaker, named Ralph Olmstcad,
recently setlUd himself down atMonticello,
New York, .where he soon seduced tho
daughter of pno of the most industrious
citizens of that place. Ho then engaged
the affections ;of a respectable young lady of
the village, abd married her. On tho eve
ning of his marriage, a letter was received
from Greenwich. (Cdnn.) stating that lie had
a wife living in that place. The morning
after the reception of the news, ho told his
biido that ho fell unwell, and wished to take
a short walk. He" accordingly walked off,
and has not since returned. It is said that
he has seduced no less than three females,
one in Bethany, (Pa.) one in Greenwich,
(Conn.) and one in that village. He is
23 or 24 years of age.
Great anxiety is felt in the North eastern
section of the Union, and particularly in
Vermont, in consequence of tho bieaking
out of a terrible sickness at Springfield, in
that State. All as yet known of the subject
is derived from a letter of which the follow
ing is an extract.
"Our town is almost a string of hospi
tals. A virulent dysentery, accompanied
with symptoms of Asiatic cholera, hasbroken
out "among usj and hardly a family es
capes. The wives of two of my nearest
neighbours died last night; and in every di
rection, this disease seems spreading.
We are not exempt: J and B have
the first stages of it. Our 'help' has left us
sick; .and wc are not as wo were, and wish
to be. The cause is inscrutable. No
stagnant water exist near. All nature is
still clothed in verdant beauty and luxuriant
vegetation. I slay at home only on this
account. I have calls to visit others, when
my own family can sparo me. One, day,
several of our best young men and families
arc down with this epidemic." Springfield
at tho base of Green Mountain, hitherto a
remarkably healthy situation.
1 ho Greenville, S. C, Mountaineer of
tho lGth instant, states that a few days pre
vious a wagon load of prime wheat was
purchased in East Tennessee at 37 cents
per bushel, and tho gentleman who pur
chased it said that if he had gone a few
miles further he could have had it at 25
cents per bushel. The same informant
says that in that section of country, tho
farmers offer to engage corn, when it is
harvested, at 12J to 18.? cents per bushel.
Among all our evib it is very evident that
wc shall not starve for the want of some
thing to sustain nature. The whole coun
try, with a few exceptions, has been most
bountifully blessed. Tho 'croakers' have
in some cases started the tale of 'ruined
crops,' ' rust,' long drought,' Sic, in cer
tain sections of tho country, but it wont

The Itock Tl&fat-Mr. Smellzcr, of
the Middlctown dley, who was the first
person of this county to raise tho Rock
Wheat, informs us that last fall he put out
about ten bushel of that seed which he ob
tained from Mr. Stoncbraker, of Washing
ton county, and which now gives him a
return of 200 bushel, and a liltle upwards
being about 40 bushels to tho acre, and
weighing about O'Jlbs to the bushel. He
is selling it very fast, at S2 50 per bushel
for seed. Mr. Stoncbraker, Washington
ciunty, from the two original heads which
were found in a cleft of rocks, and which
he obtained, raised in four sowings ICS bu
shels, which ho sold at S3 per bushel. As
far as we have heard from, these 1G8 bu
shels, which wero put out last fall, have
yclded 20 bushels for one sown, leaving
now in the country, 3,300 bushels of thin
wheat which will no doubt bo principally
used for seed, and whieh is already scatter
ed far nnd wide through, the country. Thus

ered, and cultivated, what immense benefit
may flow to mankind at large ! Frederick
