The follow ing, relative to the markets, is from the Liverpool iimes 01 me liin.insian : . . The Grain markets, both here and else where, it will be seen, are on the rise. The London market of yesterday advanc ed considerably nearly 2s. per quarter. The, remarks which we have made on one or two occasions '.recently, -still apply to the Corn market. ; The present" harvest will yield indiflcrently, and this, combined With the failure of the crop on many parts of tjie Continent, from which we have, in Former years,' drawn a large portion ofour supplies, cannot fail to send the price of "bread stuffs up to a higher figure than they have yet seep. The general failure of the potato crop is as we . have before stated one of the primaryelementsinthis upward tendency of prices. It may be observed, however, that, as regards Eng land, the disease in the potato, in many districts, has nearly disappeared. leaving only a small scab behind, which will not materially injure the properties of that valuable esculent. , TiTe Cotton market is dull more so thai at the sailing of the last steamer. I'here' is less business doing, and prices have a drooping tendency. The same causes are in operation toiceep the mar ket down as we pointed at in our last pub lication ; nor is anything likely to revive it but the chance of a short crop. The ac counts on this head from the other side are looked for -with much avidity r thev will be analysed, it is needless to say. with the most searching minuteness; and as the cry of u wolf n has been raised on more than one occasion, the " wolf" mustbe ac tually at the door before his growl Avill excite much attention. Still, holders, in the preset state of the market, evince no great disposition to push their stocks for Ward, and to this cause may be attributed luc ii uiiu uecune, as compared witn me business, which the staple has sustained. y The accounts from the manufacturinff districts are, upon the whole, encourairinsr. In the woollen districts of Yorkshire, bu- ! ... . . . siness is onsK, and ttie same may be said of business in Manchester and the neigh borhood. The price of iron, continues to advance, and on the manufactured article the dealers in Staffordshire have demand ed, and obtained an extra 20s. per ton, and pigs 10s. per ton. , The Produce markets generally exhibit a firm and buoyant feel ing. The laboring population of this coun try are well employed at the present mo ment ; and, having money to spend, they apply it to the purchase, first of the ne cessaries, and lastly the luxuries of life. There is no class more disposed to enjoy the good things of life ton greater extent than the English artizan and laborer when tlje state of his finances enables him rione that makes a greater outcry, or whose distress gives creater uneasiness to his rulers, wheahe is tinted in his stomach that important organ, that has caused more rebellions in the world thaii patriots and philosophers choose to admit. Sandwich Islands. On the late assem bling of the Parliament of the Sandwich Islands, Rev. Mr. Richards, an American Missionary, first addressed the Throne of Grace. After which, the King delivered a speech that would do honor to any Chief Magistrate ; in 'tho course of which he said : .

The New York Courier and Enquirer, J ST'". in the following article, censures: very Sroperly a .very censurable .habit of the orthern press in its . course towards sla very, and the, South. JWe JiaveJrequenN ly alluded to ,and commented upon the tm fairness (to use the mildest term) of the journals of; tbe Nprth in this particular their easrerriess to seize upon every thing which could be turned to the prejudice of the South; and their studied habit of sup pressing,: misrepresenting, or softening down every case of aggressing upon the rights and safety ofthe people of the South. We thank the Courier and Enquirer for the generous and just spirit which it dis plays in the following article on this sub ject:';" r - We published some days since, the re port of the proceedings before the Court at Lexington, Ky., on the arraignment of the leading persons concerned in the com pulsory removal of C M. Clay's j" True A merican," on charge of having been en gaged in a: not. We have noticed with some interest the fact, that very few of those presses which clamored most violently about the removaof the paper, have ta ken the slightest notice ofthe proceedings of the Court, although they had proclaim ed beforehand that the rioters .were to be arraigned and that the Law would be vin dicated againstthem. Some of them have taken a still more questionable course, in publishing what professed to be a; report of the proceedings, and 'et suppressing a very material portion ot the testimony. In fact, so-far as we have observed, no Northern paper, with the exception of the New-Ark Advertiser and the Courier and Enquirer, has copied the evidence for the defence at all, although several of them have announced the result and held up the Court and the Jruy to publicj'eprobation. Now, it will be remembered that this evidence consisted of the testimony ofthe Mayor of Lexington, of persons employed in the American office, and a greater, num ber of others of the highest character, as well as the paper itself, the handbills is sued, and every thing necessary to give the court and jury a full and perfect knowl edge of the whole transaction. It estab lished the facts, that upon the first publi cation of his paper, before the faintest hostility had been evinced against him, Mr. Clay had fortified his office with can non, musketry, &c; that slaves had been in the habit of reading the paper, arid of looking to Mr. Clay as their deliver er that they had frequently assembled iri squads, singing incendiary songs and menacing their masters ; that in many 1 .1 I I f l .... . r 1'iacps mey naa lormeu military compa nies and provided weapons ; that they had marched past the Maj-or's office and through the streets with threatening ges-f tures ; and that the general effect of the paper had been, beyond all doubt, to ex cite them against their masters, and to pave the way for and provoke a general insur rection. Now these points were estab lished by the sworn testimony of the most respectable witnesses-ofmen whose char acters were above reproach or suspicion, and who were perfectly familiar with the facts to which they testified. That they were highly important and absolutely es sential to the formation of an intelligent and just opinion of the matter, no one can doubt. Yet this evidence, distinct, clear, weighty, and unimpeachable as it was, has been suppressed by nearly the entire press of the North, and icholly suppressed oy that portion ot the press which has seen fit to comment most copiously and most violently upon the transaction to which it related ! No man of ordinary candor and fairness can hesitate to say that this suppressio ve rt is as truly criminal as would have been the invention and circulation of an abso lute falsehood. These presses had taken upon themselves to denounce, wit h extreme viruience and emphasis, certaia proceed ings of the people of Lexington, as in vio lation ot justice and of law ; they have also proclaimed, with just exultation, the fact that for these acts they were to an swer to the Law. and be judged by the judicial tribunals of the country; and yet, when this trial is had the whole mat ter fully investigated, the testimony of sworn and responsible persons taken, and the .whole transaction thoroughly devel oped, these same papers either eutirely suppress the report, or so mutilate and dis tort it as to make it thoroughly false ! The reason for this unprincipled pro ceeding, for such it must be pronounced, is obvious. The result was contrary to judgments they had seen fit to pronounce in advance of evidence ; and the persons whose proceeding it seemed to excuse had the misfortune, to live south cf Mason and Dixon's line. It seems to be settled that in any case where slavery is involved, truths reason, discretion, common prudence are to have no hearing. Nothing but de clamation and abuse seem appropriate. And in this case of C M. Clay, the rule has been closely followed. While his own intemperate, windy and unending procla mations simply the assertionsLof an inter ested party, highly excited by passion and vanity, are allowed to fill column after column of these presses, testimony of the most important bearing, from persons of unimpeachable character and taken under all the sanctions of a court of justice, is suppressed U Arid thus the public is left to form a judgment upon-lhe most insuf ficientjand one-sided grounds, and that, too, by journals which are coQstantly vaunting iucu cauuor anu lajrness. . r I ' PrsxxKs.

York papers, in which was announced tho return to this Country of Air. Hog an, who had, it appears, been commission, it ed to visit Hayti for some unexplained politi cal purpose : and, it may be remembered, we expressed a wish for furtber information on the subject. i . That wish , is in part realized by a publication in the New York Commercial Advertiser of Wednesday last, an extract from which is here. to subjoined, and which deserves all the atten- lion of the reader, (supposing it to be well- grounded,) and especially that passage of it which we have italicised. Can it be true that this Government has been interfering in the affairs of Hayti ? By whatright, or upon what principle of repoblican policy,' can it interfere in the affairs of any other people. In what case,' under any Administration preceding the lastt has it ever done so ? Has it not, on the con trary, expressly disclaimed any pretention to such a right, and uniformly reprobated it when exercised by other nations ? But to the extract, as follows : Correspondence of the Commercial Advertiser. Washington, October, 27, 1845. .r The other feature of the Ha tie n business is the policy of European Governments, should the Dominicans be successful in overrunning the negro republic, and bringing the whole island again under the dominion of the while and mulatto races for I take it, notwithstand ing all assertions to the contrary, that much the larger portion of the population of the Spanish part must consist of mulattoes. It is said that the French have been very active in stirring up the rebellion against the republican Govern, ment, in the hope that the island would again become a dependency of their monarchy. And this is probably very true. Certain it is, our Envoy did find a Frenchman among the Domin icans, a Monsieur Villencuve, I think, doing his possible in the name of the French Government to organize and discipline them for the contest against the Havtiens. Jt is well known that in colonial diplomacy and wars the French are of no account at all ; so that whatever mav be the wishes and intentions fjf our Government J in respect to this island, there is not thel least cause of jealousy on its part as to the efTorts of France or its agents in this struggle. Well, when Mr. Hogah left St. Domingo in July, the Dominican army was nicely organized. composed (if I have correctly retained the in f formation, received "long time ago ") of thir teen liiousanri men, having several French Offi cers and some beautiful pieces of old Spanish! artillery, with the great additional advantage of being accompanied along the coast bythree or four small armed vessels, American built. As was expected, a battle was fought in Sep tember, in which the Dominicans were victori ous. This affair has undoubtedly been very much exaggerated. J he Haytiens were taken by surprise were not aware of the oxl fight ing condition, tho European advisers, and the field-pieces of their adversaries were a little cut up, and took to their heels, Uke sensible men, and as our own men very frequently did in the beginning of the Revolutionary war. It was consequently a very unimportant skirmish. The Haytiens immediately began concentratingtheir forces, having bought one or two small vessels to cripe with the Dominican navy, and it is hot unlikely that ere this the tide of war has turned in their favor. The issue of tho struggle is hardly doubtful. If the white Dominicans ex pectto subdue the whole negro population of this delightful island and reduce it to a state of servi tude, or to any degree of civil and political infe riority, they.must be miserably disappointed-r They are but a handful compared to the Macks ofthe old French division, who numbered in 1842 nearly 700,000 souls. The attempt jis much more hardy and hopeless than that in which legions of French soldiers and some great French generals perished in the becinninffof the century. I am an enemy to all abolitionism out of slave countries, because I think slaveholding commu nities ought to be left to apply their own rcme dies to their own grievances, unless indeed they ask for sympathy and assistance from beyond their own limits ; and because, also, I think that, as it generally exists in the United States, the re lation of master and slave is not unjust, unnatur al, or improper, because ofthe vast disparity in the moral nature and the intellectual endow ments of the two races. But I cannot too ear nestly "express my disapproval of ihe part this Governmetit appears to have, taken in the attempt tQ undermine and orerlhroio the negro and mu latta,Governmenl of the JIaytien Republic. The subject certainly deserves the severest scrutiny at the hands of Congress. God pre serve us as a nation from the abominable wick edness of political propagandism ! BE ON YOUR GUARD.

CAROLINA; "WATCHMAN. SALISBURY; N. C, NOVEMBER 8, 1845. ; : OUR COUNTY COURT has been in session this week,1" with as much business to do, as it could well dis pose of. Monday was consumed, pretty much, in granting Letters of Administra tion, Letters Testamentary, &c, &c. , Qn Tuesday there was a full meeting of the Magistrates of the county for the purpose of electing a Sheriff, vice R. V. Long. rr signed. There were two candidates for the offic,lHezekiah Turner and Samuel Craige. .,The election resulted in the choice of Hezekiah Turner- for Turner, 32 fon Craige, 8. Upon the announce ment of this result, the crier made" proc lamation and declared Hezekiah Turner duly elected to the office of High Sheriff of Rowan, until the next regular election by the people. . Mr. John Fraley, one of thq Magistrates. then arose, and proposed the election of a County Trustee ! We have had no such officer in this county : The Sheriff has, heretofore, been the keeper ofthe public money. Mr. Fraley expressed his full conviction that we ought to have a Coun ty Trustee. Heigh ! oh 1 thought we, what new light has burst upon that old gentleman's vision, for it was evident a change had come over him. Ah ! he con fesses it: He stated that he had opposed the same measure some two years and a half ago, when it was proposed by ? Mr. D. A. Davis, we believe ; and that he would probably do it again, under the same circumstances. This, we think, needs some explanationr for we are utterly at a loss to know, what circumstances then ex isting could have been so important as to refuse to? the county that most safe and useful officer. But Mr. Fraley was not the only gen tleman who then opposed the measure.- We recollect the transactions of that day very well : There was an organisd oppo sition to jt, and what struck us as a little singular, all the speech-making opposition. was by the Locafoco members, headed by Piney-woods John Shaver, Mr. John Fra ley, andilon. Charles Fisher, the prospec tive Locofoco candidate for Governor, of the good old, honest State of North Caro lina. Piney-woods John made a speech on that memorable ; occasion we can see John p.t it to thiday. But we won't trou ble the world with John's speech just now it may come in better at another time. So too, did Mr. Fisher make a speech in opposition to the measure, to which Mr. Davis replied, Mr. F. rejoined ; and after several rejofners from each, it was evi dent Mr. D. had the best of the argument, but theJSounty got no Trustee. Well, things have changed a County Trustee has been appointed in the person of our worlhy Townsman, Mr. Thomas T. Maxwell. There was not a dissenting voice, that we heard distinctly. Piney- woods was present, and when the subject was mentioned, he pricked his ears and set his head a little forward so as to catch every word. We fancied we could per ceive the inward workings. John was anxious he was in a quandary some what like we imagine a soldier would be in a conflict without a leader and not know ing whether to run or stand. The ques tion was put and passed, and John sprung to his feet now we'll have it! -no John didn't understand the question fully, he only wanted information. The truth is, his brother Magistrates were so plaguey disorderly, no one could hear distinctly what was said by the Chairman, and oth ers speaking on the subject 'twasn't his fault he didn't understand. Well, the Chairman again stated the proposition, and it was again put. to vote, and if John opposed it he merely groanedin spirit we heard a groan from his corner no doubt he remembered that speech, and he knows it won't do for politicians to be inconsist ent. -! That Meeting. The great press of business in Court on Thursday, excluded tbe possibility of holding the meeting announced last week, for the purpose of taking into consideration tho subject of j treating before elections. Suffice it to say that the proposition is not abandoned, but will be attended to at some more convenient seasonand probably with better success.
