be an attempt to roirniii Varna. His presence in the fipld

thorn is too much reason t believe such an appalling
sight will, ere lonir, present itself. Tho prices at whicli
in inuf icturcd goods are sold do not, in some instances,
exceed the raw materials, and the wages paid for lalw.r
arc necessarily so very low as to reduce the workmen al-ruo-t
to the conditipu of paupers. Slilj, under these cir
cumstances, it is vith difficulty any sales are effected,
and large stocks are consequently accumulated. This
order of things, however, cannot exist long, and, unless
.a revival of trade takes place very shortly, we almost trcm
bl for the consequences."

Persia. Assassin ytiox ofthi: Rrssr.vN Ambassador.
An event has occurred in Persia which may have a con
siderable effect upon the relations between that country
last year. Of the manv propositions U appropriate
money ftr irrtnrovinir the condition of the State, f boiiic
of ivlncli pasied,) I will take a pas-jng notice, a you
already know the policy I have adhered to. How
evfr, I would not wish to with-hold a liberal aid,
where I .rielicve the objects aimed at are practicable,
anjl would result to the benefit of the State, provid
ed our Finances would justify the attempt. But un
def the present pressure, or scarcity of money ; and
reollccling the many thousands which have been
squandered on those projects, without any, or, but
very little public benefit, I hold myself justified in
voting very sparingly (if at all) for appropriations.
There was t loan of $G000 granted at the late ses
sion to the Clubfoot & Harlow's Creek Canal Com
pany, it was said, for the purpose of furnishing a suf
ficiency of water; that the Canal was completed al
ready, ftut 1 voted against it, as I did against the
latt appropriation of $1-2,000, for which they have
no security, Lat the Canal itself. There have been
large sums expended on this Canal; and it yet remains
uncertain, whetjier it will ever benefit the State, or
countervail the expence bestowed upon it. There
was also an appropriation of upwards of 8900, to
remove the flats below Wilmington; this is -four or
five appropriations for that purpose; but, it it is-said,
it will require 2000 of this appropriation to repair
the Jetties, which are said to be in a decayed situa
tion. The Senatp had a majority, who were favora
ble to appropriations generally : they passed a bill to
graut 89000 to clear,or.opena j-oad from near Nich

be just; moreover, a large amount of notes which
have been destroyed, say by lire, water and oth r
casualties, of three hundred thousand dollars, togeth

: 'OFFICE HUNTING.
vThc following letter, verbatum et literatum, lately addres
sed to a respectible mercantile gentleman in Hoston, is a fair
specimen of the office hunting fever so prevalent in this 00
ted age of "reform" and political regeneration. We think ,
from the, style of his letter, he stands a fair chance to
into businccs. His Orthography, Etymology, Syntax and
Punctuation, arc all sufficient to recommend him to the favour
of the new Administration, without unking a favour from the
good' people of Ronton.
