Treste had attempted to commit sucide.ieshad placed a pistol in his nouth and'- pulled the trigger, but the pistol missed fire. He then placed a second pistol close to his heart and fired, but he - had pressed the weapon with such force against the part that the ball did not enter and fell to the ground. No wound wvas infiicted,and the only trace of the explsolon was a black mark from the powder nin the flannel waistcoat and the skin. It was -remarked that the discharge from the seodpistol produced a-severe contusiotn adaviolent- swellitig; and it was with grto difficulty M. Teste could be induced tsubmit to have the contusion dressed. "This account," writes our correspon dent,'-'is u'ahappily true;" but wvhat adds -to the ho rror of the circumstance is, that Mr. Trests's . sonl is suspected of having supplied his father with the pistols. The contusion was dressed, and a keeper placed over the unfortunate -man.' .1The report of Monday's proceeding. has explained the case of M. Tesute's des pair. -Tiie evidence of M.

Dlu Fay and Co., of M anches ter, in their trade report just published, remark:- "A greatly cheering fe~ature in our'ex ports is the increasing trade with, the United States, wvhich has been some codipbusainn for thestngniation in our - commterce to other countries. It is also -verygratifying to observe, that if the ex portsf(or theo.twelve imoniths ending the 15th June are compilared with the same period of the preceding year, the decrease is much less thati:the' regult during the first sixc mouths." Liverpool CoUon Markets.-WVeek end ing Jluly 9.--The past week has been one of quietness, altthough during the early -part the sales were large; yet altogether a general tone of dullness has prevailed, and we close the week with a decline of jd. per lb. on all American 'descriptions~. .The cause of this decline is difficult to Saccount for, the weather has been fins and ~'" seasonable for the approidhing hatrvest, on i-~ which much depends, and tbiefeforo we suppose, the trade, who have for some *~.week's batght freely, bave now sullicient *stocits and- so carn remain from our rnar kdL.

Singular Escape.-The cook maid of he family of tbe poet Hartman, at Prague. l seing aware that a sum of 2000' thblers was kept in a ecretaire, communicated the "act to a man whom she knew, and pro-' posed him to steal it. The latter gave some poison, -which he directed to lie thrown into the soup, assuring her that it c was merely a narcotic, which would not rail to plunge the family into a deep sleep. I A.. curious circumstance saved them all. I Dn the edge of the lamp suspended over I the table was placed a rod, to keep in awa me of the children. The child having )egun to cry just as they sat down to table, M. Hartman stretched out his hand 'or the rod, and in doing so overset the t soup tureen. The cat lapped up some of the soup, and died immediately. This I ,roused suspi'ion, and an investigation iing instituted, the truth was discovered.. German Paper. The Rumor from California:.-The Washington correspondent of the New I York Journal of Commerce thus refers a a second time to this matter : "The rumor received here from the West, that the Mormons in California had mutined, &c., J s- unfounded, and was sugested by some Jistrust of, and enmity. to the Mormons, which have followed that persecuted sect o the shores of the Pacific.

The Crops.-From all - sections of the country we hear of fatiering propects fo good ,Corna crops, but most deplorable accounts, are given of Cotton. And if wi were tojudge from the appoarance of soi fields we baie-seen during the last weel or two, we would say they were deplora ble.. .nefield-in. particular,. in Mont gomery county, of about one hundrec acres-the cotton was almost hid frorr sight by the grass. and had commences giving a yellow appearance. It was los almost beyond redemption, for it is ac impossibility 'to 'get it :clean of grass is time for it to do any thing-in forming,ant consequently will. make nothing compar atively. This is the case in many instan, ces all tbrough the country. . In conse quence-of; the continued.rains, in mans places it was beyond a possibility foi farmers to give that work to their crop; .which was required.-And then, those ,who.have been more fortunate than thei neighbors, to get their cotton.clean, find i "run all to weed," and consequently wil not, unless dry weather commences soon make anything like a fair crop. We alst learn that. the worms have commence their ravages in many parts-of the State Taking all these disasters together, we apprehend great fears that the cotton crol in Alabama will.be much less than an previous year,- Wetumpka Guard. Orangburgh.-A letter from Orange burgh, dated 25th ult. says-"Since wrote-you.last,-we have not had one da: without rain and some days three- or fou heavy showers.- My cotton is almost at entire loss-I do not think, from .the pre sent prospect that I will make 10 bales about one fifth.or one-fourth of a crop.

Thze rmyj Worm-A report was in cir culation. a..few, days since. (says the Bayos ~Sqra Ledgor,) that this, terrible pest to ihb planter and scourge to thecountry had mad< its appearance on the plantation of Dr. Ira Smith, in this vicinity ; but upon inquir; we are informed -that a careful investiga tion of the insect proved it to belong tc some other of the worm tribe, much lea destructiva~in its habits. fleports oKa similar character hay reached us froN the neighburintg parishes but we have noitmet with any mentiot of the fact in the 'repective journals pub. lished they were urkfuunded. -The cotton, corn ai sugar crop in ibis section of the State are ntusually promis ing.

Reiiial of the Murrell Clan.-A shil from the Paulding (Miss) Democrat, wvitt ihe above heeding says, a man namec Fry, who settled about a year since ii Lewton county,'had caused several slavel of Mr. Daniel Sandall, for wvhom he wva doing business; to run away, one of the negroes- abducting the sont of Mr. Sandall a youth'about twelve years old. One- o the negroes, (who has since been appre hended. says they were:persuaded offundel the belief that they would be taken to free State and set at liberty. Neither' the boy nor the slave that abducted him. have been heard of, and fears are entertainet that the child has been murdered. Fry professea to be a member of the church, ad -two men William and Getn. Mcintosh, are supposed to be his accomplices. It is thought also, that they have a considerable amount of counterfeit North and Soutl: Carolina money. The trio have lately bee: figuring about the Lauderdale Sprinigs.

O. Mississippi. The Worms have again made Their appear. ance in the Cotton here, and I fear very much that we shall make a worse failure than last last year. Our cotton has not matured enough to make 100lbs. to the acre;-it is certain, if they. r do not cease their operations in a very few days, we shall not make seed to plant next year..- It will create greatdistress in our country, if two r failures in succession, it will be impossible for t the people to meet their liabilities. Our Corn crop promises an abundant yield, if the worms do not destroy it; they have commenced on it in some farms already,-one week ago our prospect was never better, our crop is injured already, at-least 50 bags, and God only knows how muck it is to be injured yet.
