A. Gwyer. The road is finished 12 miles out, and this is the first pro duce brought on it, we believe. Our readers will be pleased to learn of this first demonstration showing the prospect of a large increase in the produce brought to our market, through the means of the Central Road. We will all be pulling to gether after a while. Mr. Gwyer also received the first produce from the Wilmington and Manches ter Railroad. Wilmington Commercial. The New York Expedition tor Liberia.

We mentioned some time since a rumor that the wife of the Rev. Sam'l Clawson, of Virginia, had fallen heir to an immense . fortune in England. The Weston (Vaj.) . Herald says the facts of the case are as follows " There was originally the sum of .thirty-six mil lions of dollars, the estate of the Earl of Lancester, in England, and upon the death-of the Earl and his brother, a dispute arose between the House of York and the House of Lancester, (instituted by the former, because of an intermarriage between the two houses,) the House of York suing for the heirship. The suit was protracted, from the lower to the higher courts, from fifty to a hundred years, and was finally decided at the Exchequer,' (the Queen's Bench,) in favor of the Rouse of Lances ter. After this decision, advertisements were scat tered abroad over the world for the heirs-of the Lancester estate, and the mother of Mrs. Clawson, wife of Rev. Samuel Clawson,- is one of the heirs Attorneys are employed by the heirs to secure their interests, and it is supposed that the whole affair will be settled up during this winter, when the heirs will receive their portions. The above suiri of thirty-six millions has been at interest for more than sixty-six years, which interest will pay, the;osts of law, and leave the original dear fall." New Printing Press. The new power press, lately invented by Mr. Francis one of the propri etors of -the Springfield (III.) Journal, and on w hich that.paper is now pr nted, i highly spoken i of by practical. printers. The Journal of the 20th says: "The outside of our daily was run off on Francis' new press at the rate oi .forty-eight impressions per minute, or nearly Ihret thousand per hour. The' press" is worked by hand. Much greater speed could be produced from stronger motive power. Premium to a Negro Ploughman. Our read ers no doubt observed in the list of premiums published in the Dispatch of Saturday, that the first premium for ploughman was awarded to Mr. R. Sampson's negro man, "Randolph," who managed his four mules without lines. This cir cumstance excites no comment here, as anything strange or wonderful, but it is one of the many facts of every day occcurrence, which disproves the allegation of the abolitionists, that the negro of the South is exiled from the pale of humanity, justice, and all kindly sympathies. We question very much whether he has half the chance for fair play, or half the real practical sympathy, in the Northern States, that he daily and hourly experien ces from the despots and monsters of the South. Rich. Dispatch. The Methodists of the United Statcs have made admirable provision for the education of their pastors. They have already eight first class colleges, with "property and funds amounting in the aggregate to 494,063 -and another isprojected in Missouri.

The dangers and splendors of the Hippodrome, with its "hair-breadth 'scapes, and moving accidents by flood and field," continue to "draw." There were only two break downs and three -thrown fiom their horses last week nobody killed, and the audience in raptures.

The Paris Moniteur of Fri day says arrangements have been made so that the French Army can be raised to 750,000 men in six iweeks. Also, that England and Franco will be as united in action as they were in negotiation. Earl Clarendon declared England has not the slightest intention of abandoning the Sultan. At Constantinople the Swedish flag had been in sulted, and the English Consul's residence pelted with stones.. The reported skirmish between the Russians and Turks was - telegraphed by the French Consul at Bucharest. The new American twenty-five cent pieces have been extensively counterfeited, and large numbers of the counterfeits are in circulation at the North. The War Department has issued an order; the effect of which is to secure to old soldiers who re enlist an increase of Bounty. . The CaS of Miss Cunning hamk. The Turin correspondent of the London Timet says : wy letters from Florence sav that, when it was notified to Miss Cunninghame, at Lucca, on Mon- , day morning lasL, that the Grand Duke had given an order for her reUa h nn.iti.aW rofiia- ed to leave the prison on act of grace, as she had been imprisoned to trial, and her advocate had told her that no verdict could be obtained against her, as. she had not transgressed the law, and therefore she would not go until she had seen him. In the evening it was announced to her very civilly that go she must. She still refused, and then she was told that if she did not go freely, she would be carried out by force upon which she replied, "Give me that in hand writ ing, and I will go." They did so,,and accordingly she went. Report says the tracts for the distribu tion of which she was imprisoned were not of a character to implicate her in any attempt to pro selyte, or even bring the Roman Catholic religion into contempt; and, moreover, that an ecclesiasti cal council had examined them at Lucca, jind could find no evidence in them against her. j hear also, that her advocate told her she could make no re sistance to the royal will, and must accept her re lease ; but that he was sorry for it, as he felt that lie had a good case. It is difficult now to arrive at the whole truth, which will most likely be made public when parliament meets. Editorial. Ed w ward William Johnson Esq., formerly connected with the National Intelligencer, has taken the editorship of the N. Orleans Crescent. The funeral procession of Mr. Butler, the mur dered schoolmaster, was the largest ever known, in Louisville. THE VERY LATEST. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER BALTIC. . New York, Nov. 14. The U. S.

Powell and family of Philadelphia. The Arabia arrived out on Saturday evening. Neither Franco nor England have lost all hopes of a peaceableasettlemeiit of the Eastern question. Both governments announce tha. the Cabinets Highly Important from Cuba. The steamer Isabel from Havana and Key West, arrived at Charleston on Saturday, bringing Havana dates to the 8th inst. Much political excitement prevailed at Havana. The revolutionary paper " Vox de la Puebla" having made its appearance again, many arrests had been made. Rumors of attempted revolts were current. It was further stated that, within a few days, a vessel had appeared off Baracco, at the east end of the island, and hoisted what was supposed a signal of distress, when simultaneously with the signal, an attack was made on the fort by seventy armed men on horseback. They were replused, and several of them captured, who were sent to Havana. Mr. Murray, of" Philadelphia, fell dead in the streets of Havana. - .

Yankee Sullivan Not Escaped. The state ment that Yankee Sullivan had knocked down four or five of the officers having him in .charge, and had made his escape, proves to be without foundation. Deputy- Sheriff Bensel, of New York, who accompanied the distinguished prize jfighter, reports him safely lodged in jail at Lenox, Mass. Large Bird. A live pelican, with one wing broken, was recently found floating in the; Missis sippi River. The bird measured across the back' to' the tips of the wings seven and a half feet, and five feet from the point of the bill to the extremity cf the tail.

Last Friday, a negro man the property of James Thorn berry, near Louisville, drew a prize of $2100 in the State Lottery. Hudson, the British "Railway King," is said to be worth 250,000, after all the changes of fortune to which he has been subjected.

In France, everything was prepared for a land expedition to Constantinople, but no orders will be given to march unless new cireumstauaes render it necessary'. Letters received at Paris from St. Petersburg peak of the strong desire of Count Nesselrode for further negotiations. J; It was reported at Paris that the Czar had abdi cated in favor of the Grand Duke. This was doubt ed, but had the effect to give firmness to the mar kets. The combined fleets have anchored in the sea of Marmora. The Turkish government is said to have declared that the movement of the fleets is unin telligible, unless the allies are apprehensive for the safety of the Sultan. The Turkish government undertakes to guarantee the safety of the Sultan, $ and have no use for the fleets except as active al lies. The above avowal of the presence of the fleet in any other capacity would be an avowal of weak ness that would wrong Turkey in the eyes of Eu rope. The Turkish Minister of Finance has resigned, and is succeeded by Saffeti Pasha. ' Turkey had prohibited the export of corn. The fleets had not arrived at Constantinople on the 19th. It was not believed that any regular en gagement had taken place. The Turkish government displays much military sagacity. It has formally recognized Schamel and other Circassian chiefs, and has sent them arras and munitions. The Hungarian General Guyon; had been sent as Lieutenant-General to Asm. The Russians have 50,000 men at Bucharest. All the 'commanders had joined their respective corps. A portion of the corps had left Bucharest for the Danube. Twenty-five thousand Kussians had landed at Redmbkale. The benediction of banners, usually preceeding active service, took place at Bucharest on the 10th. Anthemus, the new Greek Patriarch, had been invited to attend a meeting of the Sultan's cabinet. The Grand Vizier had published an order calling on the people of Constantinople to preserve order, protect the Christians from insult, and pray for the success of the Turkish arms. The Persian army on the Turkish frontier had been disbanded. Circassia. It is now positively stated that the Russians, and not the Circassians, were defeated in the recent battle. England. Subscriptions were being collected for a British testimonial to Capt. Ingraham. France. The Moniteur publishes an editorial indicating that France will firmly support Turkey. Spain. The Spanish Government has a large fleet ready for sea, supposed to be destined for the Mediterranean. A Madrid letter of the 25th says that Mr. Soule had been received by the Queen, and that, on the request of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, he had consented to modify some expressions considered objectionable in his address to the Queen. of Vienna and Berlin are' equally negotiations. ! ARMISTICE BETWEEN RUSSIA AND TURKEY. With regard to the Eastern question everything was enveloped in mistificatioii. A Vienna despatch announces ;hat there had been an armistice agreed upon between the Turks and Rtts ians for an in definite period. This despatch materially advanced the price of English and French funds. Another despatch said that the Turks had crossed the Da nube without opposition. THE EASTERN QUESTION. The most contradictory accounts were in circu lation regarding the aspect of affairs i:: the East. It was stated that a satisfactory diplomatic note from the Four Powers was on its way to Constan tinople, and that the supposed armistice was to al low time for its acceptance. This further strength ened the funds ; but it began to be rumored, that tlie' so-called armistice was only a conditional order to Omar Pacha not to .commence hostilities till Nov. 1st, if he had not already commenced. This depressed the market particularly, as a telegraphic despatch, apparently authentic, stated that the Turks had crossed the Danube in great force near Widdin, and occupied Kalof'at, with the intention of assailing the Russians. Omar; Pasha bad informed Gotschakoff that he intended to march at once 'upon the Principalities, v. hereupon Gotschakoff held a council of war on the 11th, and resolved to evacuate the southern part of Wallachia. The Russians had made no attempt to cross the Danube. Their troops, w ere still encamped at Bu charest. It was believed that the original Vienna note would eventually be adopted, with some modifica tions, j There had been no official announcement of the combined fleets having passed the Dardanelles. England. Great riots had broken out at Wo gan, in Lancashire, caused by a turn-out of the operatives in Colleiies. Much property had been destroyed, and the. troops called out. Spain. The union of Spain and Portugal was again seriously discussed by all parties. W. Turon had been offered the appointment of Minister to Washington.

THE LATEST M iRKETS. WILMINGTON MARKET Wholesale Prices. The War in China Its Barbarities. The advices from China give shocking accounts of the barbarities which are committed at the sacking of towns and on the field of battle. It is stated that in one engagement one thousand were killed, besides a large number who were drowned by be ing pursued into a river ; in another, seven thous and were killed ; in another, seven hundred .,were burnt to 'death and killed, only ninety prisoners having been brought in by the victors ; but they had the heads of one hundred and fifty others. Numerous engagements are mentioned where thou sands perished. The Emperor appears to set the example of barbarous cruelty. When one of his officers is' defeated he takes his head off. Every general, therefore, is figbingfor his own head. Release of Koszta. Advices from Smyrna to. Oct. 12th, state that Koszta had been released," and was on his way to Boston. It appears Mr. Offley had received a second despatch from Mr. Marsh at Constantinople, stating that, in his ar rangement with M. Brack, jtbe Austrian Inter nuncio, there is no reserve relative to Koszta's fut ure movements ; whereupon Mr. O. consented to his release. The Discoverer of Gold in Australia is to be rewarded by the British Government. The Co lonial authorities of Austria propose to give to Mr. Hargraves, the discover, 10,000, but the Duke of Newcastle, who i3 the head of the Colonial Depart ment in the Ministry, offers him only half the sum, which Mr. Hargraves objects to.
