He showed beside that in Mr Munroe's time he was ac cused of spending too much upon fortifica tions, when the amount was but $50!', 000 p. r annum; and that when Gen. Jackson and Mr Van Buren spent $700,000 per annum, they were accused of neglecting fortifications, and spending too little.

The Board of Naval Surgeons recently convened in the city of Philadelphia have closed their proceedings, and icported the re sult to tho Department.

A report from the superintendent of standard weights and measures has been communicated to Congress by (he Secretary of the Treasury, announcing the completion of the final series, (the ounce weights.) Wc perceive by it that it is deem ed important that the Governors of tho sev eral States be invited to send directions to the Treasury Department to whom and how these standards may be forwarded, in order to reach their aim of public utility. There might then also be forwarded, at me same time, tho yards, and some ot the sets ot tho larger weights, .... 53 t5 which remain still m tho vaults of the Trea sury Department, uncalled for, to bring hern into that actual use which, at the time of their beginning, seemed -so muth desired. Mr Hassler states that with the present delivery, tho task of the construction of weights for the States, as well as for the custom-houses, is completely absolved. Tho sets of ounce weights fo'r the States, begin with tha ten ouuco weight, and go down, decimally sub divided, to the one ten-thousandth of the ounce. A number ofstaudard yards sufficient for all tho States, and for some of the custom houses, were completed last year. Jladiso ?i ; a n . The Washington correspondent of the New Yorker, speaks of the probability of our gov ernment havinir a difficulty to settle with the Pope of Rome, arising out of the imprison- silence and respect, but without apparently me'ut of an American Bishop, named Reese, altering the determination of a single person This is the first intimation we have heard of such a circumstance, but if correct we shall probably hear more of it. The writer says : "His Holiness in the exercise of his Apos tolic functions, called the Bishop of Detroit to appear before him in the year 1S33 or '39. The latter, m obedience to the mandate, re paired to Rome, when he was urged to resign his Apostolic function of pastor of the Diocese of Detroit. He refused, and was hrust into prison, and remains cut off from all commu nication with his country and friends. This will be officially communicated to the depart ment of State to-morrow by a Catholic priest, who says our worthy fellow citizen is riurTer ing this prolonged incarceration owing to cer tain calumnies of his colleagues in the U.

Well may the Star caution its Whig friends against abusing Mr fngevsoll and the northern Democrats, who manfully stand out for the rights of the South, now vitally assailed by the incendiary Abolitionists, when our own south ern Representatives arc recreant to their trust. I'resy-o :1 of" the Cotton Crop. Some mouth or six weeks since, the com plaint was general throughout this part of the country, tlmt the cotton plant promised unfa vorably, ami on numerous plantations, an en tire failure was apprehended. This seemed to be the case in Alabama and Mississippi, as the papers, generally in those States contained g!oomv accounts, and expressed fearful appre hensions of the prospects of the planter. For the last three or four weeks, and until very re cently, we have seen or heard but little on the subject-- Complaints are again becoming general at the ravages of the worm, and plan ters in this section have relinquished all idea, we believe, of making any thing more than a partial crop. In some of the counties below this, the worm is making sad havoc, so much so, that cotton fields have been ploughed up, and com substitiiied. As senile compensation for the failure of the cotton production, the corn crops in every direction are represented as exceedingly nourishing and as promising a most abundant harvest.

The Crops of the Union. The Penn sylvania Register truly says: " From all the accounts we have seen, from the North, the South, the East and the West, respectinghe growing crops of grain, we are irresistibly brought to conclude, that in the whole coun try, there will be nearly, if not quite, a fair average yield of winter grain ; aud that the present prospect of an abundant yield from the summer crop, is fine. There is a larger surplus of last year's crop in the country at this time, than has been at the same time of year, for some years past, which considered in connection with the prospects of bountiful harvests in England and other grain growing countries in Europe, must remove all doubts as to an abundant supply of the comforts of life at reasonable rates, year." during the coming Escape and Recaptukx.

Any one who can command time enough to walk through this city, and its numerous and far stretching suburbs, may satisfy himself that our brick layers and car penters are far from being idle, and that hun dreds of houses aro about being built. Three causes unite in creating the present activity. In the first place, the price of unimproved lots has been much diminished in the se cond place, that of building materials is less by ene half than it formerly was. And third ly, and lastly, the wages of mechanics have been reduced from twenty-five to fifty per cent. In most years, the necessaries of life, meat and bread, are sold as low in New Orleans as in any other largo city in the New, or per haps the Old World. The houses now going up will tend to make rents cheaper. Such reductions in the price of important items in family economy will not be without their con sequences business and population must in crease in proportion, until New. Orleans ex ceed New York in wealth and trade. .V. O. Courier. - Arrivals & Departures ef ilic MAILS. Post Office, Fayettevillc, X. C'L "Why are deep sighs like long stockiugs ? They are lieig-ho.

One of the points in their faith, in relation to marriage, is that no two persons ought not to agree to live any longer together than they can live in mutual good will, peace and com fort with each other. And any agreement or promise any have heretofore made in iheir ig norance upon this subject, of a contrary na ture, when seen to be wrong, is not binding against the principles of justice, equity and common sense. Tho members of the sect, it is stated, practically follow out this doctrine. Green corn was selling in Cincinnati at 18 cents per dozen. PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT The proceedings of the Parliament during the last few hou:s of its existence are of little interest. On June 22d, tho Royal assent having been given to a number of bills, her majesty arrived at the house shortly after two o'clock, and the commons being summoned to attend, delivered her speech And the Lord Chancellor then declared Parliament prorogued, and a royal proclama tion was issued immediately after, dissolving the present Parliament and for the calling of another, the writs for which are returnable on the 19th of August. Election Riots. In Liverpool and oth er places most disgraceful riots, ending in tho death of several persons have occurred. On the 3Ut'a ult. a large body of Irishmen attacked a party of ship carpenters and assaulted ihem with brick bats, bludgeons, &c. The whole town was in a complete uproar. The moun ted police were at hand, and charged upon the rioters, when several were severely wounded, and upwards of SO person taken into cus tody. J In Carlisle a similar scene took place at the election, when the military were called out, aud two men were killed by the affray. This is only a specimen of the state of the whole country at this time. We have no space for further particulars. It is now confidently asserted, that the Duke of Richmond and family have gone in to mourning for Lord Fitzroy Lennox, all hopes of tho safety of tho President steamer being now given up by his Grace.
