T This includes nearly all Fairfield County,
with the West part of Litch6eld. The better part
of Ltch6eld is still to in, and, as Mr. Os-
born for Congress runs better than the Governor,
we hope he is elected.


MORE OF THE BEAUTIES OF THE INSPECTION
LAws.-A merchant on the Spanish Main ordered
of one of our commission merchants, among other
articles, 500 barrels Philadelphia flour. He had
always previously ordered the -four direct from
Philadelphia, but as his vessel was loading here,
tie flour came round in packet Upon it the
Flour Inspector ruthlessly pounced. In vain the
merchant offered to pay the fee, if the Inspector
would but let the barrels alone. This was con-
trary to the act and accordingly the -four was
rolled out on the pier, every barrel bored into and
covered with mud the New-York brand put on,
and then it was reshpped. A few days since the
merchant received letter from his correspondent
on the Spanish Main, stating that he had sent the
-four into various parts of the country, but that 1t
had all come back to him, simply because 1t was
branded "New-York' Philadelphia flour was
wanted and the purchasers could not be made to
l,aliAua that Philadalnhia Annr could be branded
"New-K York. II consequence the -four was sold
at considerable loss and the owner has vented any
quantity of curses on the New-York Inspection
Laws.


T The FIGHT AT ALBANY goes bravely on
Secretary You've launches his second bolt at the
Lieutenant Governor through the Argus of Tues
Gay. Hell bitter: savage, and not at all mindful
whether he hits friend or foe. The Argus, and all
its friends, as well as the Lieutenant Governor and
his clique in the Legislature stouty beabored.
His letter fills over three close columns, and con-
cludes with the solemn assurance that grdviora
manent and promise in postscript soor to do
himself the homer of addressing the Lieutenant
Governor again.


70 Tile P1e6eiax wants to know Of us how
!, much Retrenchment and Reform" was effected
by the Wing Street Contract? We are very happy
to give the information. The ReEenchment
effected by that measure, compared with any
! recent year of Loco-Foco management, is about
$40, ,00o per spnur, and we believe the Reform
in the condition Of the Streets will be still greater,
though We don't expect the Contractors TO cart
off all the snow and ice fast as it becomes in
j conyepient. That could not be done in such
winter as the last for half Million Dollars, and
right well do the Plebeian, Beach's Sun &c.
know this in spite of their dishonest clamor about
the streets.





TIE MERCER CAsE.-Tha testimony in the
case of Mercer on Monday was confined entirely
to the point of his insanity. Lieut.. Barton j. +.
Armstrong, C. D. kineline, James Gahan, NJ
Knisell and r. F. Loper were tie witnesses ex-
amined Their evidence was clear and explicit,
and seems to FIX the fact beyond reasonable doubt
that, after hearing Of the disgrace of his sister,
young Mercer was net possessed of his full facu-
ties of reason and judgement. The deJence rested
here, and some Iebutting testimony was introduced
nothing OF that, however, taken Monday had much
weight.
