From the National Intelligencer." EDITORS' CORRESPONDENCE. ? . i .vt IN EW 10RK, AUGUST -S-Z. I have for a day or twopast been searching all ihe newspapers from all sections of the country to gain something like correct information in regard to the prcrent and future crops.? The papers, with here and there an exception are unanimous in saying there will he an abundant harvest. In Maine the crops will be larger than they have been for many years and the wheat crop there will be larger than ever before, and in all probability the bounty promised by the State will cost the State not less than from three to four thousand dollars. The bounty is 10 cents per bushel upon all over 40 bushels which any one farmer may raise. In some parts of the State 25 and 30 acres have been sown, which will yield in many parts of the State from 25 to 30 bushels to the acre. Last year Maine laid out more Than 820,000 for flour; this year she will raise enough to supply her entire home comsump tion. The crops in all the* New England States? are equally good with those in Maine. In Canida they are also good, and pospects of the season there were never more promisinnr than thev are at present; so also with the -o crops in most parts ot our own State and in Pennsylvania. The Western farmers make few complaints and few arc heard from the South. ; P. S.

For the first time.for some days I have today taken a stroll through the business streets of the city, and glad I am to inform you that there is a stricking contrast between the appearance of things to-day and a week or t wc "since. Some ot our stores begin to look like things of life. Our side walks are covered with bales, boxes, and bags of goods.. Our cartmen, mechanics, and laborers are shortening thou* faces in anticipation of better times, and the city m many places "and for manyreasons gives chering promises of a change ol of things for the better. The contrast, mind you, has reference only to the dull, quiet and lifeless monotony of our city, which has ap peareii every where for Uic Jast lew monms, and the appearance of thing?;'at the present fnomont. FOREIGN. 7 late from england. The Liverpool paper gives only a brief sum mary of the Parliamentary proceedings, ante. cedent to the prorogation. The punishineut of death bill, the bill of exchange bill,' and the criminal law bill (restricting the number or crimes punished capitally.) were passed in the House of Lords^ with several others. Monday, July 10. Nothing could exceed the interest excited by tiie announcement, that the t^ueen wouiu this day prorogue Parliament in person. At an early liour, all tbe avenues leading to the gallarics of the House of Lords were crowded with ladies, anxiously w'ailingthe hour for admission, which was fixed for twelve o'clock.? Punctually at that time (the judicial bussiness of the House having terminated,) the doors were opened for those having-tickets to the strangers' gallery, which, with the exception of the reporters bench, was exclusively approbated to peers' daughters and other ladies. In a few. minutes the gallery was-complctely crowded. In the body of the house most of the seats were ticketed with the names of Peeresses who intended to be present, after the manner of the House of Commons when a heavy debate is expected, and in the course of an hour about a hundred had arrived. The ladies were all attired in deep mourning, with black feathers which, contrasted with the state robes of the Peers, *and the brilliant costumes of the foreign ministers and ainbassadois, gave to the House a very peculiar and striking appearance. At half past one there was scarcely a seat unoccupied, and thespaeerailed off bwiind the the episcopal bench, for the accommodation of foreign ministers, tyeing found insufficient, for that purpose, several obtained seats in the jieer's gallery, on the right of the throne.' I n the left hand gallery we observed Earl Grev, and the Earl of Durahm and his family. The Earl T\ jtr.r?L- hie amnnfr llif J/UraiJIJJ 9UUOClJUCIlUj luvn iuw lv>.. ^ foreign ambassadors. The throne and footstool (both of which were covered with rich crimsom velvet; ap]>eared to be new; but in other "respects ik " change was made. The old canopy remainec and the initials,"G. R " behind the throne wen unaltered. Precisely at twenty minutes to three o'clock her Majesty, proceeded by the heralds? am lords waiting, and attended by great officer: of state?the Lord Chancellor carrying tin cap of maintenance, the Duke of Somerso bearing the crown upon a cushion, and Lon * Melbourne holding the sword of state?enter ed the House. The peers and peeresses ros< as her majesty entered, and continued stand ing. The ladies in wait inn, and the pages, win bore her majesty's train, took their places oe hind the tiirone. The Lord Chancellor, th< Marquis of Landsdowne, Viscount Duncannon and the Duke of Norfolk, stood on the steps o the throne, to the right of her majesty, and or " the left stood Viscount Melbourne, the Duk( of Somerset, and the Duke of Sussex. Her majesty was splendidly attired. Beneath a mantle and train of the richest crimsor she wore a robe of white satin wrought wit I gold; a circlet of diamonds glittered on hei brow; the blue riband of the order of the gartn crossed her bosom and fastened on the left s .e a profussion of large and costly diamonds hun? upon her neck. Her majesty ascended the Throne with a firm and composed step, and for several moments continued standing, graciously regarding all around her. At this moment the interest of the scene was at its height; and the spectacle of sc young and beautiful a Sovereign so surrounded and deporting herself in a situation so new, with an easy dignity and natural grace that could not be surpassed, was a sight not soon to be forgotten. On taking her seat her Ma. lesty'u countenance became slightlv flushed; ?* ind PIT*1 mv onkirjg round uer, seeing that 51 the Peers remained standing, she said in a low ! I tone of voice, but bending gracefully forward, and with an easy gesture of the hand, "My i I Lords, be seated." , ; Sir Augustus Clifford,the Usher ofthe Black t Rod, was then directed to summon, the Coin>; inons, and in a few minutes the Members of I the House headed by'the Speaker, appeared ? i before the bar. The turbulent mode of their , entrance, and the almost boisterous struggle t for precedence that look place between some I of them, appeared to afford her Majesty much amusement. She smiled, and looked quickly i Tound at the Lords who stood near the Throne. . After a short pause. The Speaker addressed her Majesty after ' assuring her majesty that the commons participated in that strong and universal of dutiful and affectionate attachment to her majesty's person &c. he referred to different acts pas) sed by the commons. I Her Majesty then read, in a clear and unI faltering tone, and with an unequalled sweet! i ness of voice, the following most gracious .j fpeeeh: , " My Lords and Gentleman, " I have been anxions to" seize the first op. [ portunitv of meeting1 you, in order that I might : . repeat in person my cordial thanks for your : condolence upon the death of his late Majesty, | aiid for the expressions of attachment and ; affection with which you congratulated me upon my accession to the throne. I am very desi. rous of renewing the assurance of my determination to maintain the Protestant religion, as \ established by law : so secure to all the free exercise of the rights of conscience ; to protect . the liberties and to promote the welfare of all , classes of the community. I rejoice that in ascending the throne, I find , the country in amity with all foreign powers; and while I faithfully perform the engagements of the crown, and carefully watch-over the in: terests of my subjects, it shall be the constant! , object of my solicitude to maintain the hies- , sings of peace. - * i 44 Gentlemen of (he House of Commons: I . "I thank you for the liberal supplies which . | you have granted for the public service of the | year, as well as the provision you have made ' to meet the payments usually chargeable upon . 1 the civil list. ^ I 4-1 will give directions that the public expenditure, m all its branches, be administered ; with the strictest economy. 44 My Lords and Gtnllemen: 44 In taking leave of this Parliament, I re* -i l - r? .1 1 1 ;! turn you my inanns wr me zudi duu a?Muuu> (i with which you have applied yourselves to the public business of the country, i " Although your labors have beer, unexpec. tedly inter-upted, by the melancholy event I which has taken place, I trust that they will i have the beneficial effect of advancing the proj gress of legislation in a new Parliament. I perceive with satisfaction that you have . brought to maturity some useful measures, f 'among which.I regard with peculiar interest I the amendment of the criminal code, and the II reduction of the number of capital punishments. I hail this mitigation of the severiry of the law as an auspicious commencement of my reign. " I ascend the throne wjth a deep sense of the responsibility\vhich is imposed upon me; ?I but I am supported by tne consciousness of my j own right intentions, and by my dependence j upon the protection of Almighty God. It will I be my care to strengthen our institutions, civil" j and ecclesiastical, by discreet improvement ! wherever imnrovement is reauirOd, and to do all in my power to compose and allay animosity-and discord. ' " Acting upon these.principles, I shall upon all" occasions, look with confidence to the wisdom of Parliament and the aftcc'.ions of my* I people, which form the true Support of thedig* nity of the crown, and insure the stability of the I constitution " A hum of admiration, that almost theratenj ed to burst into a cheer, ran round the House [ as her Majesty closed the speech. .[ The Lord Chancellor then said?It is her i Majesty's royal will and pleasure that this Parj liament be prorogued to Thursday, the l()th I day of August next; and this Parliament isac cordingly prorogued to Thursday, the 10th day of August next. ! Immediately after this announcement her I Majesty descended the Throne, and quitted the House m the same order as she had entered, j except that she was now followed by.the Duch-; ess of Kent. J Thp nrorision and clearness of the Queen's i ; j enunciation in reading the speech from the throne are much praised in the journals, as well. > as her ' dignity, grace aud self-possession" ; throughout the proceedings. On entering the I royal robing room, however, after leaving the i j House of Peers, she fainted, but was soonre j covered by proper-restoratives. . * i The London papers have much to say, of ; course, upon the Queen's speech, and both pnr, ties claim it as favorable to their views respectively?the whigs confidently, and the conseri vatives as men who would believe it if they f could. : The indications that the royal favor is it to be bestowed decidedly upon t^e whigs, appear i to be almost beyond question. i : i * ; New Orleans, Aug. 23. Morr news from Spain.?By the steam ship Cuba, from Havana. Dates from Cadiz 1 to 2d July. ' By a letter direct from Cadiz, furnished us I by Mr. Win. Kidd, of the Merchants' Ex, change, it is stated that the commercial treaty between England and Spain, of which there has been so much talk, has at last been rati| fied; nevertheless, the British cabinet endeav. \ ors to keep it a secret, as regards France,; , whose interest by it is greatly affected. t The statement that Don Carlos was made j a prisoner, &c. is all unfounded. It appears, beyond doubt, that one of the principal rea; sons Don Carjos had for going into Catalonia, ] is that of placing himself in apisition of bei ing able to receive the assistance promised to him by Sardinia and Italy. The British Cab5 inet has conceived the same idea, and it is be lieved that should it prove that the Cabinet of ? Turin, upon which the greatest suspicion , rests, should pass arms, ammunition, or money f to Don Carlos, England would intervene in i the affairs of Spain, more efficaciously than ? heretofore.

The Crops, in the upper country, nevei presented a fairer prospect for an unusual Har vest, than they do the present season.? Wheat has turned out bettor, and produced ? larger amount to the quantity sown, than ii has before for many years ; and such appear to be the case throughout the United States The Com crop bids fair to amply repay the farmer for his toil?in fact, it has seldom look ed more promising. Our fruit trees are liter ally loaded. with their products, and everj thing that the earth produces, for our beneti or convenience, seems this season, to be bless ed with fruit of its kind. On Saturday last, about 11 o'clock, A. M. Mr. Marcus L# Hoke, of Lincolnton, N. C, was murdered in the street, a few steps lrorr his own door, by Lo^an Henderson. Hoh( i was the third son of Col.

Henderson has been trying for some time to pick a quarrel with Hoke, for taking an active haqd in the election of John Michae as Clerk of the Court, in place of 13. S. John, son; and yesterday, (19th inst:) attacked agair at M. VV. Albemathy's office, and got to abusing Col. John Hoke. Marcus was unable U hear his father abused without replying to ok Major Henderson in rough language. Some person went up street and told Logan II. thai i Hoke had abused his father. Having returned but a few weeks from Texas, Hendcrsor was prepared with Bowie Knife, &c. When he heard that Hoke had abused his father j he told some persons that he would give him a thrashing. This was in Mr. Motz's store. He then started down to Hoke's store, and saw Iloke coming from towards the offices, on j his own lot, a few steps from his store. Hoke [ was by himself. Henderson called Hoke tc | him, and when near enough, struck him over the head with his stick, sprung back two 01 three steps, drew his Bowie Knife, and sprung on him again, put it into his left side, seized j him, and was attempting finish him on the [spot, before any one saw him. Maj. Michael i and F. A. Hoke were in the Barber's shop on i the same lot, but saw nothing of it until the other two had scuffled to nearly the middle ol the street. Michael and Hoke parted them, This was about 11 o'clock, A. M. and Hoke expired at 12 that, night."
