SATURDAY, AUG. 5, 1S37. ELECTION RETURNS. We are indebted to the Wash ington Whig'fnp the following re turns of the votes in the counties composing this Congressional dis trict, wiili the exception of Tyr rell, in which the election will be held on Thursday h Friday next: L. D. Wilson. E. Stanly. tvigecombe, 1167 Pitt, 451 lieaufort, 317 Hyde, 12G Washington, Cl 78 654 80S 486 344 2430 2 122 2122 Maj. for Stanly, 303 Tyrrell will probably swell this majority to upwards of 700. Mr. Pettigrew's majority over Dr. Hall at the last tlection was 543. The principal loss to the cause of Democracy occurred in Pitt coun ty, which in 1835 gave the Re publican candidate 67 majority, and now has given the Whig, 203. It will be thus seen that the Re publicans have been again defeat ed in this Congressional district', and that loo by an increased ma jority. We are defeated, it is true, but not discouraged; the present pecuniary distresses and .embarrassments are but tempora ry, and the extraordinary and un warrantable efforts of the Whigs to mislead the people by attribut ing the causes to proceed from Re publican measures, will avail them nothing in another contest. C7In Pitt county, Archibald Parker is re-elected Clerk of the County Court, and M. D. Moye is elected Clerk of the Superior Court." The vote for Congress in the different districts is as follows: Districts. IVilson. Stanlu. Greenville, Tail's, Buck's, Burney's, Griffin's, Tyson's Store, Cross Roads, Foreman's, StanrilPs, Andrews', Perkins?, Pactolus, Haddock's. 131 174 10 103 21 17 28 79 43 54 23 9 5 25 33 42 29 7 81 6 25 O 12 101 10 34 451 654 Congressional. We shall pro bably hear in a few days of the result in the Halifax and Newbern districts, in which the elections were held this week. The elec tions throughout the State will close the ensuing week. In several other Stales the Con gressional elections have been and are about to be held. In Maine, there have been two changes; par ties remain as before, 6 Rep. 2 Whigs. In Maryland, no change, 4 to 4. None others heard from. - (TTOn Monday last, Mr. John Williams was elected Magistrate of Police of this town, in place of Pr.T. H. Hall, declined. Shocco Springs. We are plea sed to learn, that this celebrated Watering Place is rapidly increa sing in favor with the public. On our first page will be found an interesting description of its medicinal virtues and its general merits. In addition to its local attractions, a Ball is to be given on the 15th inst. which will doubt less be attended as usual by a goodly portion of ihe beauty and fishiori of our Sjate.1 U. S. Bank. It is said, that since the, suspension of specie pay ment in May last, the United Stales Bank has rashly increased its discounts nearly a million and a third of dollars. What a piece of immbng is it, then, for the fede ral satellites to hold out a pre tence that it is about to resume specie payments? This furnishes Hie reasons why the Bank of the United States has refused to make the returns re quired by law, as well as the folly of the whig statements that this Bank intended to save the forfeit ure 'of its charier by resuming specie payments. Its condition is far more desperate for paying spe cie than it was at the dale of the return of the 1st of May, which is the last . rendered. Those ac quainted with the gambling which has always been carried on in the stock of this Bank, have always considered the rise of its stock not evidence of its value, but proofs of the profligacy of its managers. At the lime il was formerly on the verge of bankruptcy the stock rose to 167. It would be in cha racter with the speculations which the Bank has encouraged for the two years past, and with the ordi nary course of the management of the Bank, should the stock now be carried up to 150. But like all other bubbles, when it shall burst, ruin will overwhelm the un wary who have reposed trust in it. Globe. A Fact for Travellers. Two circumstances have lately occur red clearly demonstrating the ad vantage and expedition our com munity, and the public generally, enjoy in the travelling facilities afforded by the Wilmington and Roanoke Express Line of stages. Captain M wrote from Phila delphia to his friends in Wilming ton by the Express Mail, on Wed nesday the 1 9th inst. that he wourd be in Wilmington as soon as he could arrange his business, and left accordingly on ihe 21st, and reached this place by the Wilmington and Roanoke Rail road Stages, five hours befor his letter, sent by Express Mail two days previous to his departure. The other instance is that a gentleman travelling in haste, de sirous of arriving in Wilmington at the earliest possible period, was induced to lake the line via New bern, and consequently reached here thirty-three hours later than if he had taken the Wilmington and Roanoke Railroad Express Line. Facts speak for themselves. Wilmington Adv. Corn Wanted. We would in form ihe holders of Corn abroad, that Wilmington affords a ready market and a good price for thai grain. A gentleman informed us a day or iwo since, that it could not be obtained in any quantity at any price in other words, there i not a gill for sale in the town of Wilmington. Flour too com mands an exorbitant price canal flour bringing from $12 50 to $14. ib. .Provisions. The present scar city of breadstuffs and provisions generally, in many pans of this heretofore "land of plenty," al most exceeds belief. Nor can the poor look for much mitigation of their sufferings from the scarci ty ot the stall ol life until the com ing harvest, which, thanks to a munificent Providence, . promises to be most opportunely beautiful. The great abundance of vegetable lood now placed within the means of all, will, however, do much to ameliorate the distress until har vest time. The Fredonia N. Y. Censor of the 5th inst. gives a melancholy picture of ihe wants of that community. It says, "car go after cargo of Hour, wheat and cum has arrived at ihe different ports in this county from Ohio, but each vanishes in a very short period after its arrival, and the cry for more is as loud as ever.'' Ihe same paper estimates the a- tnount ot cash carried out of that county for breadstuffs alone, since the opening of navigation, at $50,000; and adds, "we have heard of instances of families in this city having been from 8 to 10 days together, entirely with out bread. Corn meal has been sold at some of the mills a little back, by ihe few, at the rate of two dollars per bushel." The Broome County N.Y. Republican says: "On Saturday last our vil lage was thronged with people from the surrounding country in search of provisions. Not a pound of flour could be found for sale. Two or ihree tierces of rice (ihe whole stock on hand) were sold, the owners of il very properly re fusing to let any person have more than eight or ten pounds. Flour has been sold within the lust few days, at retail at the rate of $15 and $16 per barrel. Corn $2 per bushel." In parts of Michi gan, the scarcity is equally great. A large share of the provisions used in a great portion of this State, are now imported. In Hillsdale county, a letter states "that all the provisions in the town of Adams would not last ov er three weeks, that some families had nothing to live on but milk, that others had only a scanty sup ply of bread and potatoes, and that meat could not be obtained." The Eastport Me. Sentinel says of the famine there, "many families are in a state of destitution bor dering on starvation, and have been compelled to dig their seed potatoes from the ground to save life. Cleveland O. Herald. French Flour. Among ihe oth er curious things that of late arri ved among us, is the article of French flour, in barrels as ground and put up in France, lately im ported at New 9ork. A friend has showed us a lot he has for sale, which appears to be equal in qua lity to the best western flour, and in perfect good condition. Gazette. Oj-lt is estimated that the cost of the bread stuffs imported into the United btates within a year past, will exceed $10,000,000. It is clearly ascertained, accord ing to the Boston Recorder, that about 25,000,000 bushels of grain are annually consumed by ihe dis tillers in the United States. State of Affairs and prospects South West. Extract of a letter from New Orleans, July 18: Money matters are getting much more settled. The demand for specie has fallen off very much. It was selliug a few days since ai 23 a 25 per ct.; however it is now very dull at 10 a 12 per ct. Ma ny of our banks are preparing to resume pay mem of specie and will succeed in doing so ere they forfeit their charters. The crops of sugar, cotton and corn in this State, are most prom ising, never belter. Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee, give al so the most flattering accounts of the prospects of the growing crop. I have this morning read letters from the west. They speak of the crops of wheat, corn, and eve ry kind of grain, as being more promising than was hardly ever known. Wheat will not be worth over 40 to 50 cents in Ohio, Indi ana, Illinois, Kentucky and Mis souri. Pork they say will be con tracted for at 2 to 2h cents, in stead of 6 to 7 cents, as it was in November and January. JV. Y. Star. C7The Chintz Bug, another of the new depredators of ihe insect tribe, whom the crop. croakers have been obliged to call to their aid ihis summer, is said to be ma king ravages on the wheat in Cumberland county, Va. ib.

Philadelphia Iler New Mexican Minister From the following extract it will be seen that ihe Mexican Government is still disposed to make a furthet pffort to adjust its differences with the U. States by pacific means. Norfolk Herald. ' We learn by a Mexican paperf just received from Vera Crut, that Senor Don Francisco Pizarro Martinez, long known as the pat riotic and efficient Mexican Con sul at New Orleans, lias been ap pointed Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States. The state ment is copied from the Diaro del Gobierne, of a very recent date. Phila. fnq. FROM FLORIDA. .2 Battle in West Florida. The Alabama, lrw'mton Herald, (slip) July 18lh, states that infor mation had been received by a gentleman from Marianna, that another severe, battle had taken place between the whites and In dians, in which the latter were de feated with great slaughter. Loss of ihe whites, five killed and seve ral wounded. It would appear that these Indians are the fugitive Creeks, who, driven out of Geor gia ant) Alabama by Wellborn and others, have collected in West Florida to the number of about 500, at ihe heads of Escumbia and Black Water Bays. At ihese places they find tribes hitherto friendly and are awaiting with them ihe completion of their crops, to renew, it is feared, hos tilities in the fall. The Floridian says, the entire loss of life by the Floridians them selves, in this disastrous war, is computed at 150 killed, chiefly heads of .families, besides hun dreds of plantations and dwellings burnt and devastated. By the Savannah Georgian, Ju ly 20th, w,e have information from Fori King to the Hh. About 100 Indians are in that vicinity hunting. They appear friendly and wish for peace. They repor ted that five or six chiefs were to go to St. Augustine to have a talk with Gen. Jesup. They say they are only waiting for the sickly season to pass off when they will embark. They have iheir women and children with them. JV. Y. Star. FROM TEXAS. JVew Orleans, July 17. The steamboat Orleana arrived yester day from Galveston, after 10 days passage, she has no cargo, but brings a number of passengers; among whom are Gen. Hender son, Texian .Minister Plenipoten tiary to the Court of St. James; Gen. Shelton, he. President Houston and Gen. Rusk were at Nacogdoches, for the purpose of holding a "talk" with the friendly Indians in that vicinity. The Caddoes, a ferocious tribe, of great numbers and nower. are extending their depredations on me wnote lextan irontier from the Brazos lo the Trinity. The Cammanches are constantly com ing in with mules, horses, prison ers, he. from ihe Mexican fron tier. They have several hundred Mexican prisoners. A small par ty of Texians sent to the Camman ches to make peace, were all killed. South America. An arrival at New York has brought informa tion that the Republic of Buenos Ayres has declared war against Peru, now under the protection of Gen. Santa Cruz, who is also Pre sident of Bolivia. Chili declared war against Bolivia some time ago; so there are two against two Chili and Buenos Ayres against Bolivia and Peru. Washington Marketi Aug. I. Turpentine, new dip, $1 70; Old 60.

Desecration of the Sabbath.--A row of a very discreditable cha racter took place yesterday at the Dutch Church in Forsyth street, between the two parties who con stitute the unfortunate schism which exists in that congregation. The minister apprehending that the battle in the "church militant" would "come off" yesterday, was early on the ground to wit, at 3 in the morning, i. e. a little before day light. The parties rushed in when the church was opened at the appointed hour, and the min ister found himself in the midst of a perfect chaos, which rendered the functions of his divine calling perfectly useless. Each party was provided with police officers. The "ministerial" party in this case was the weakest, but lhe' held on. Blows ensued, and the j parson, after fighting manfully, j was dislodged from the rostrum. J The church was then cleared, and ! locked up "a la Cromwell," by j the Alderman of the Ward. .V. Y. Star. Foreign IM PORTA NT Death of the King of England, $-c: By the packet ship Utica, Liverpool dates to the 24th June have been receiv ed at New York. William IV. King of England, died on the 20th June, in the 72d year of his age. This monarch is succeeded by the Princess Victoria, daughter of the late Duke of Kent, who has just completed her lSlh year. Her majesty's first court was held at Kensington palace, on the day of the late king's death; and was attended by more than a hun dred of his late majesty's privy council, and by the lord mayor and a deputation from the city. A privy council was held, at which mostoPthe privy councillors were re-sworn. The Duke of Cumberland, now become King of Hanover, the salique law prevailing in that part of the British dominions) proceed ed to Kensington palace, in the course of the morning, to attend the council, and was hooted by the populace on his reiurn. He was the first to take the oath of al legiance lo the Queen his neice. She was proclaimed Queen of England on ihe morning of the 21st, at the Palace of St. James, in presence of a great multitude which assembled to witness the ceremony. Standing between Lord Melbourne and Lord Lans downe, in their state dresses, and accompanied by her mother and others of her court, she appeared at one of ihe windows and receiv ed the cheers of the people. The principal Herald advanced and read the proclamation, finishing with "God save the Queen," when the cheers were deafening. At a quarter past 10 a procession form ed, which moved through the ci ty, proclaiming her Majesty in different places. The accession of Queen Victo ria, appears to give the whigs and radicals an increase of confidence. The King of Denmark was suf fering from illness aud his death was apprehended. The aspect of monetary affairs and of the Cotton markefwas. de cidedly favorable. It appears from all the accounts that there is not the most ;riiin..t idea that the Bank of Enclaud i ii . o i wouiu suspend specie payments. 'IM. 111 J i uere nau oeen no panic lo create i distrust.
