TAItf50ROUM : SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 1S51. Touw Officers. On Monday the 7h. inst., John Nor fleet was elected Magistrate of Police and Thomas Macnair, William Norfleet and Robert R. Bridgers, Commissioners forthe town of Tirboro for one year. Small Pox. We regret to learn that five cases of (his loathsome and much dreaded disease have' occurred within a few days past in the town of Washington two of which arc said to be convalescent, and the other three are not considered dangerous. Precautionary measures have been ta ken by the authorities of this place and - Greenviile to prevent its introduction. Fugitive Slaves. The papers generally are filled with minute details of the proceedings in Bos tonkin the case of the fugitive slave Sim, who was arrested and eventually deliver ed to the agent of his owner, Mr. Potter of Georgia. This is the first instance, it is said, of the recapture of a fugitive slave in Massachusetts; and it is confi dently predicted that the fugitive slave Jaw being once enforced in that State, the great obstacle to its successful operation in the non-slaveholding States generally will be removed. We hope it may, but from the tone and temper manifested on the occasion by the abolitionists, and the oid and comfort they received from the State authorities and others, we appre hend that in a short time the law forthe recovery of fugitive slaves will exist merely in name and not in substance, so far as the non-slaveholding Stales are concerned. only have its articles ever been directed against the afore-mentioned abuses; the work has also maintained an unrelenting crusade against the alliance of Church and State, tbu$ virtually seeking to abolish the "Parliamentary Religion" of England, and eventually to remove the still existing remnants of feudalism, which continue to afflict the British nation. It has recently become the medium through which Cob den promulgates his Free-trade doctrines whtoh will give it increased interest to the numerous admirers, here and else- - - where, of that great Reformer. In many particulars, the Westminister Review es pouses a political faith closely allied to thatof our own country; and therefore wc may, without any extiaordinary effort of charity, be induced to cherish it as an ex otic worthy of being engrafted into our more genial soil. It has recently been united with the Foreign Quarterly Re view, the more attractive features of the two Reviews being now combined in the Westminister, and thus adding greatly to its value as a literary periodical. - i .

We learn from the Goldsboio' Repub lican that the Stockholder of this Bank held a meeting at Washington on the 14th instant, at which the following gentlemen were chosen Directors Messrs. George II. Brown, Bcnj. J. Parmelcc, Jas. K. Hoyt, S. P. Allen, and Jos. Pott, of Washington, and Thos. Ilanrahan and Chas. Green, of Greenville. Mr. Potts declining to serve as a Director, Mr. Wm. Rumley was chosen in his place. At a meeting of the Directors, Jas. E Iloyt, Esq. was chosen President. The Bank will commence operations so soon as the Notes shall be printed FOR THE T RB0R0' TRESS supinely upon our backs and say though man is altogether a creature of ne- rpssitv. nnrl time has now - arrived when farming is the only resource left us. It has been a matter of much surprise to us, that both our General and State gov ernments have done so little for the ad vancement of the science of agriculture. We see that session after session our Con gress makes appropriation after appropri ation for the advancement-of our manmac turing and commercial interests, but noth ing is done for the farmer, upon whom all of every other trade and profession are in a great measure denendent. It is the same - i case with our State governments general ly. We noticed that an effort was made at the last session of the Legislature of New Jersey, to obtain an appropriation o! 5,000, to establish a State Agriculture or Chemist. But there were other appro prialions to be made and 35,000, could not be ihrovvn away upon the farming in terest of the State. This refusal was done too, in the face of a petition signed by 1,000 of her citizens, and 3,000 of those farmers, who even many of them quit their homes and went to the seat of gov crnmcnt to entreat their representatives to pass the bill. How different, are such things managed in England, where agriculture is looked upon as a science and has arrived at a great degree of perfection. 'During the last session of Parliament the sum of 10,000,000, was placed at the disposal of commissioners to loan it to ip plicants on the following terms: The form of the applicant is first valued, and then a loan is nade to him on mortgage, to be applied to underdraining his laud under the inspection of the commissioners The mortgage is only active? on the increased value of the farm by underdrainage.

And shall we venture to say, that even the farmers of old Beaufort are begining to feel concerned about their farming inter est. They now begin to enquire how these Edgecombe men can buy- shells from lhe Island of Portsmouth, and carry them up near Tarboro' and reap any profit from them after paying expenses. Theyalso wonder how these farmers can ship plas ter from New York, and pay larger freights than what we do here, and still make money by the process. But this is the secret Edgecombe farmers are a searching and enquiring people, and where by their industry and application they find out any way to save labor and in- firat nnai - "case their crops, they at once go to work, rt w. 41fc ,w jujjj. -UlanJ avail themselves of these means.

Milwaukie, April 11. The Rev. Mr. Lahy, the Monk of La Trappe, was ad vertised to lecture last Sunday evening in the Methodist t'hurch, and a very large congregation assembled to hear him. He had spoken over five minutes when there was a mob at the door, and a gang of men came in with clubs, while others tore off the rails from the pews, and laid about them with great Violence. Several per sons were struck in the head and badly injured. Pews were torn down, chande liers smashed, and the shouts of the riot ers and sctcarns of the females were fear ful. The audience gradually got out of the windows and doors. Some few persons stood around the speaker and protected him. The Mayor commanded peace, and promised that Mr. Lahey should leave the town in the morning. The crowd did not disperse until a late hour and many persons - followed the speaker and his escort to the hotel, break ing with brickbats some of the windows. A Singular Case.
