We have received letters and newspapers from the South as far as Georgia, and also from various portions of the West, which speak in glowing terms of the crops of grain and fruit. And so far as our knowledge extends, we can add, thai through the middle and eastern states, the prospect is very fair for abundant crops. We hare heard but a single instance where the wheat has been injured by the fly and rust, and that is in Washington county, Maryland. On the evening of the first of May, the house of Isaiah Johnson, of Sandwich, N. IT. was struck by lightning and entirely consumed. Every member of the family was struck down, but recovered just in time to make their escape from the. flames. Accounts from Ireland of J2th April say: "A large number of houses in the neighborhood of Doonbeg, in Clare county, were carried away by an awful flood, and several men lost their lives in attempting to savo the cattle." By an arrival at New York last week, from Port au Prince, accounts were received from Cape Haytien, that that whole town was de stroyed by an earthquake on the 7th of May, by which awful calamity, ten thousand persons had perished. That repealed shocks were ex perienced at the same time at Port au Prince, bv which many houses were so cracked as to be dangerous to enter. Severe shocks were also experienced at St. Mark's, and many houses ruined. At Gonaives, the shocks were so aw fully serere, as to throw down or ruin almost every house, and kill many of the inhabitants. The Church, the Treasury-house, the Arsenal, and the Prison were all destroyed. The towns of St. Nicholas and Port Paix'are also said tol be destroyed; and, it is feared, that many other places not yet heard from, have shared a like instruction. There are now thirteen hundred vessels which sail from ports of the United States un der the temperance flag. Many of these vessels are bound on long voyages round Cape Horn. During the year 1S41, there arrired at New York sixty thousand emigrants; and great pre parations are now making in Europe for emi gration this year. The latest accounts from Great Britain, say that there are now preparing to emigrate Jo North America, at least seventy thousand artisans and agriculturists. Superstition! (From a late English pa per) "A great number of persons are remo ving from London to various places, and some emi"ratiri to America, fearing that London is aboul to be swallowed up by an earthquake! They found their fears on the following ancient prophecy of 1203, published in the British Mu seum, folio 33 9: "In eighteen hundred and forty-two, Four things the sun shall view, London's rich and famous town, Hungry earth shall swallow down! Storm and rain in France shall be, Till every River runs a Sea ! Spain shali be rent in twain, Aiid famine waste the land again!1' CP. Philadelphia, June, 1, 1S42. Keviciv of Use JflarlietB. New-York, June 11, 1842. FLOUR AND. MEAL By the Great Western, from Liverpool May 21, we learn that American Flour had again slightly improred, sales in bond having been made at 2Ss a 2Ss. Gd. per bbl. On the dale of our last publication the mar ket for Western Flour continued very heavy, and sales of Genesee, Ohio, and Michigan were niade at a reduction of 12 cents per bbl.; purchasers for export to England and the West Indies then came forward, and some 2000 bbls. Genesee were taken at $6 and perhaps about the same quantity of handsome Michigan, in flat hoops, $5,87; round hoop Ohio could then have been purchased at $5,75, and flat at $5 87. On Monday and Tuesday there was more firmness and this decline- was recovered, and although the article was rather quiet than other wise at the enhanced prices demanded, yet 500 bbls. round hoop Ohio were taken for the West Indies at So 87; 1 ,500 very good brands flat hoop Ohio and Michigan, part to arrive, for Liverpool at SG; and 700 better than common brands Genesee, at SG 18. Holders of com mon brands Genesee are firm ai S'6 12, nearly all to be had at that price being bought up on Monday; the receipts of yesterday were trifling. Troy should be quoted SG 12, with few or no sales. Southern sorts are dull, and prices, in ihe absence of demand, have not varied. Georgetown sells slowly at $G 25; a small par cel Howard Street, on the wharf, was disposed ofat$G12. Ship stuff has become scarce, and prices have advanced 1 a 2 cents; 4 a 5000 bushels sold at 13 cents, and for the little left 11 is now demanded. Shorts are steady at 9 a 10 cents. Rye Flour and Corn Meal are without change. GRAIN A parcel of 1200 bushels fair quality Illinois Wheat has been sold for milling at $1,27, cash; there is now very little offering, and as Flour has an upward tendency, the mar ket fur Wheat is also firmer. Prices of Rye Lave given way, and we notice sales of 1000 bushels Northern at G4 cents; 3500 do. on terms not made public, but supposed G2; and 700 Jer sey Gl pari for djstijljng, and the residue to go .out of the market. Northern Oats remain dull and cargo of 2500 bushels has been sold as low as 37 cents we quote 37 a 39 as the extremes; 1000 bushels Southern brought 34 cents.- Corn comes forward freely, but there seems to he a very fair demand, and priees remain stea dy; 1700 bushels Southern Yellow sold at 53 a54 cents subsequently, 7500 at 52; 7400 Northern Yejlow, 57 a 58, closing at 57 for a lot of 4000 bushels; 1000 Jersey Yellow, 5G, all measure; and 400 Ohio via Kevv-Orleans, Jp be taken at the vessel, at 52 cents, weight- N.

Published Monthly in the City of New-York, ly WHLMAIH W. SWOWIMEitf. TWO ENGRAVINGS IN EVERY NUMBER. The Ladies .ad ies' Companion, is published monthly ty of New York, and thus established ii in the citv popular favor, after a progress of manv years is sued with unfailing promptness and regularity adorned with a beauty of typograpical execution which proudly challenges criticism, and with en graving prepared, in every instance, expressly for the work, after a careful selection of the sub ject enriched constantly with fashionable and popular music superintended, in all its depart ments, with the most scrupulous care for its excel lence in every particular and idled with articles from the pens of the most popular, renowncd and talented writers of which our own country or Eng land can boast, it is by no "means an unwarranta ble presumption thus to claim for the Ladies' Com panion, the proud elevation of being a Standard .National Magazine! Looking with ajealous eye to the honor of Amer ican literature, as well as to emolument, it is the endeavor of the proprietor of the "Companion," to be governed by principles of the broadest liberali ty; and to offer no pledge to the public which cannot be faithfully and fully redeemed. That very prom ise made in times past, has been scrupulously ful filled, is confidently asserted, and for a full confir mation of this, every reader is appealed to; and this exactness, it is supposed, will be a sufficient eruarantv for the future. Alter this explanation, the proprietor of the La dies' Companion proudly directs attention to the following Prominent Conf B'iSmtors. Emma C. Embury, author of "Pictures of Early Life," the "Blind Girl," etc.; Lydia II. Sigourney; Frances S. Osgood; Mrs. Seba Smith; Mrs. E. P. Ellet, author of "Character of Schiller," etc.; Ann S. Stephens: Hannah F. Gould; Mrs. E II Steele; Mrs. A M F Annan, late Miss Buchanan; Miss A D. Woodbridge; Mrs. Emeline S. Smith; F W Thomas, author of "Clinton Bradshaw," etc.; Car oline Orne, of Wolfsboro', N. IL; Miss Mary Ann Browne. England; Miss C F Orne, of Cambridge; Mass.; Mrs. M St Leon Loud; Professor J II In graham; Louis Fitzgerald Tasistro; Nathiel P. Willis; Theodore S. Fay; Park Benjamin; to gether with a large number of prominent writers, whose names we have not room here to insert. Among the number of the contributors to the "Companion," above enumerated, will be perceiv ed the names of many, whose charming produc tions have given lustre to our national literature, and whose reputation is identified with the pro gression of their country to that position in Ihe world of letters, to which they have been signally instrumental in advancing it, and among them, mere win e iouna ine names oi laaies wno nave established the claim of woman to the possession of the loftiest intellect, in its more refined and del icate characteristics, and have reared an enduring monument to the virtues and elevation of their sex. The talents of the contributors, it will be perceiv ed, are of the most varied character. By this it is rendered certain that every tasle will be gratified that every branch of elegant literature will re ceive attention. Poetry, talcs, sketches, essays the instructive and the amusing the grave and the gay will be blended, to enhance the interest of the Magazine. Sac E!s21)cIiisiiiBieBi3s. Even in this important respect, the "Compan ion" may be safely pronounced to maintain a de cided superiority over every competitor; and in re gard to its gorgeous engravings, the work is dis tinguished above every literary periodical, wheth er in England or America. Every number is or namented with steel plates, executed by the first artists, in the most finished manner, expressly for the work! Scriptural engravings arc, also, occa sionally published. The reader therefore, for the low price at which the "Companion" is afforded, in addition to its admirable literary articles, obtains a port folio of elegant steel engravings. THE MONTHLY FASHIONS are also given, illustrative of the changes of attire, in female costume and ornaments. These plates are not executed on wood, but so elaborately en graved on steel, as to be of themselves worthy of preservation as beautiful pictures; for it is the de termination of the proprietor of the Ladies' Com panion, to offer nothing to its readers that is not worthy of unqualified admiration. TJfic Musical 3eparJmc5it receives the utmost attention. A piece of music is given in every number, and an experienced and competent musical professor having the immediate supervision, the selections may be relied upon as being from the most pleasing and popular songs. &EWmSlMMlZ EST GHOSHS,. Criticism upon the publications which may from time to time be issued, is a matter involving seri ous rcsponsibleness; especially when the decision of the critic is expected to influence a large por tion of the community; and while the receipt of the books issued by the most prominent publish- I ing-houscs in the country, enables the proprietor j of the Ladies' Companion to announce the reviews of new works to form one of the features in the conduct of the Magazine; the reader who consults them for guidance in the selection of books for pe rusal, may place upon them implicit reliance. The basis of criticism is an impartial and independent judgment. Editors' Table. Under this head the more important events which may transpire, worthy of comment, will be found, embracing every subject, either local or for eign, that is considered of sufficient interest to de mand attention In conclusion, tho proprietor pledges himself that every effort will be expended to make the La dies' Companion pre-eminent for the beauty and accuracy of its typography the variety and high tone of its literary articles the quality and value of its music and the splendor' of its pictorial em bellishments. TERMS AND CONDITIONS. The Ladies' Companion is published at THREE DOLLARS a year, payable in advance, or four dollars during the year. Two copies for five dol lars if current funds, in advance postpaid. Tho work is punctually issued on the first of every month, and is forwarded to subscribers by the ear liest mails, strongly enveloped. New volumes commence with the May and November numbers.

Having been called upon repeatedly for infor mation respecting redemption monies on unseated lands, which remain in the hands of Ex-Treasur-ures, I take the liberty in justification to myself, as well as for the good of Monroe county, to stnto that from all that I was able to ascertain at tho annual settlement in January last, upwards of $1,000 00 was remaining in the hands of Ex Treasurers. I requested Mi. Bush, late Treasur er to render an account of redemption monies re ceived by him during his term of Office, but he refused to do so; neither could I prevail upon my colleagues, Messrs. Mackey & Staples, to go in to a settlement with the Ex-Treasurer concerning the monies received by him on unseateu law's. I now earnestly request Messrs. Storm & Bush, to examine page 201 of Purdons Digest, Gth edi tion, by George Stroud, where they will find the nnt of assembly recorded, which exoresslv says, that it shall be the duty of Ex-Trersurers to pay over all redemption monies on unseated lands to their successors in onice, ana alter convincing themselves of the duty they have overlooked, or neglected, to pay over the same at once to the present Treasurer with interest thereon. Such a course will save the Auditors much trou'!f .it the next annual settlement, besides showing a willingness to obey the mandates of Justice. With sentiments of respect, I remain Your obedient servant. JNO. MERW1NK. one of the Auditors. Chesnut Hill, Monroe county, May 25, 1812.
