From a respet tab e mercantile establish jnent at Londonderry, dated the 6th Sept ot» the Subject of Flaxseed. It states that the quantity on hand was about 20. 000 hhds— that since the sowing season sales had been made to speculators at 50s —tiiat advices from Riga snd Holland re present the linseed crops favorably as to quantity, and prices likely to rale mode rately—and that although the pieseut crop was not good, yet tl>e price does nst materially alter the demand, and as the general stats uf the country waa improv ing. a fair demand was anticipated for the next season, but that prices should rate low to ship at.—*V. 5 Oaz. C0MMFRC1AL IN PELLIGr.XCE. We have been politely favored with the following letter from a commercial house at New Orleans, to & merchant of tills city. — Daily Adv. Stic- Orleans, Gctl 12. *‘\Ve have it now in our power to say that the prospect u« to the present crop cf cotton are much more favorable than *ve were led to believe when we last w rote von. The subjoined extract of a letter which we have just received from a pai ticuiar friend of ours now on a visit to pitches and the interior, for the purpose of ascertaining the true state of things, aud who feds a very great ii»terest there in, will ^ive you all toe informotiuu we j)0*ses«, and is such as may be depended on. You will please communicate it to those likely to feel interested. “Already about Ha) bales oF the new crop of cotton have come to market and fetid beeuso.dat 17 a 18 cents, and such )» the disposition to buy (exchange on jEn^laud being 7 a 8 per cent above par) that we despair of seeing prime quality *ny lower, at least not tiil the buik of the crop get* to rnirket. particularly as there is a prospect of a still further improve incut in the European market. The crops of cotton in the state of Alabama and Tennessee ere said to look uncom monly due tuts year. The cane is not as promising as it was at the commencement of ihe se won, and the late gale has done it considerable injury; the crops of sugar will therefore without doubt he short, bat there will probabiy be a considera ble increase in that of tobacco, so that on the wiioie we shall no doubt give employ, meat to as many vessels this year as last, which you will perceive by the statement at foot amounted to 757 trotn 1st Oct.

In the vicinity of this place there is no doubt but the erops will he considerably deficient to the preceding vear. and the quality in inv o tdnion will also not be so good; but this is only tha case where the lands have been Jong under cultivation, and are much worn out. In the Parish of Concordia on the opposite side of the river from >’*tchez, I have seen a number of plan tations, au i there the crops are both a htHjJlant and very tin.}. At Bayou Sara and Fort Adams, where the Steam boat made but a short stop, l had not much opportunity in gaining information, but W \at l could learn re resented the crops S#iu good; at the former place it was a*atei that, the rot had done some injury aipon certain estates. At a distance from Natchez the crops are stated to be very abundant. 1 have not the least doubt in jnv own mind from what information 1 oeu collect, but the crops of cotton upon the whole will be equal «f not exceed in 5j«aatit/ the preceding one.

The meeting ol tne new Congress is al wa>„ aiteudeu with interest, it i* »‘*-e « uew exuibiliouat Somerset- iiou*e, w here we recognize with pleasure our ulu lavoi j lies and iou«. eagerly for the new speci n.ens of genius w.nch are brought into view, auu the liesii acquisition ol taste and talent. A§ there are chiei u’muvres in art. so there are master spirits among statesmen—altho’ it must be confessed, that me lormer are much more laslidious than the latter. A painting is tested, not 1 by the merit of it* neighbors or conteui ! poraries, but by rule* as ancient almost I as the art itself. Rul ol a member, wheth er of Parliament or ol Congress, we judge not by comparing him with model* eitu *o recent as Pitt or as Sneridaii, a* iiu)* ard or as Ames, but appreciaie him in re ference to his immediate associates. Some such accommodating standard gave celeb rity to Lord Casuereagh as a parliamen tary speaker, and seduced some well meaning people among us into the idea that Mr. -, of Maine, is an orator ! The U*t C ongress (the Missouri Con j grcss> contained several highly gilted j men- but the opinion, and conduct of! some of them seemed to us, at this dis tance, so unnatural ami 60 dangerous, that our praise of thorn like that of Richmond bestowed on Richard ill. must be accom panied with a bitter reser\e. While on the other hand, by their wise and concil iatory firmness, and the blended influence of their talent* ;.nd their virtue, others, and particularly Mr Lowndes and Mr. (jlav. rose, if possible, in the affections of their countrymen. The former gentle man continues to adorn this slate in the j national council*; but the latter is gone to ; repose on In* iaurels in the privacy of re- ! tirement. Other distinguished individu aU will no doubt be sent from various quarters of the country to Washington, if the people will reflect how important is the trust, and men of talents will forget . how great is the sacrifice. We might, without flattery, praise in j advance or two of the new delegation of ! 1 South Carolina in congress. Rut it would be, we presume, like a provincial puff to i an actor about to make his debut m the j metropolis It the new congress steers clear ot the j embarrassments ot the last, it will still have many important, and we may say \ some imperative subjects of legislation, j Of these we shall occasionlly exhibit our 1 views—being perfectly satisfied, that an ! American Statesman, if he reads nothing j else, always reads a newspaper. The business of congress, whatever be its nature, n.ay be much expedited, in tlie liritish parliament a debate i» never adjourned over from day to day, but tin* decision is first taken. The legislature of this country, with one or two of which we are familiar, do very seldom, if ever j adjourn without corning to a decision on ' the question before them. The conse quence is that on a subject being brought before either House, if the House wish in formation, the question is postponed: but if it be taken up, the leading men on bith j sides state their reasons pro and con—the . House is as fully informed r.s it could ro ( if addressed by every member—suJ the : question i» taken ana deemed. *\u tune is given to prepare elaborate speet hes, and ordinary men shrink from obtruding their crude pleas, after the enlightened efforts of their superiors. >’jw in Con- j gress every tiling is the reverse. Six 1 days, in which were made‘the heavens.

The truth is, and it is too serious to joke about, that the representa tives’ hall seems to he a school of declama tion, a gymnasium for the tongue! and we, the sovereign people, are compelled to pay for their prize speeches without the privilege of hearing them. Some ruie ought to be adopted to check this waste of time where time is most important.

The object of political economy is public prosperity, or the common weal ; the well being of society, and common weal, means common good, common happiness; figuratively, money is called wealth, and so are all other goods; but the true object ol political economy is the same as domestic economy—the right management of the af fairs ot a a nation, so as to conduce to the happiness of a people of the nation or com monwealth.

He laments the bad economy ol the pub ic administration—be confesses and laments i the consequent poverty, wretchedness and I iguoracce of the people; and he maintains, that although they were from ignorance dis qualified to share in the public administra ! tion, yet the share of knowledge which they | possessed, and to jealousy tbey were indebt ed for the share of liberty which they pos sessed; as there was a constant effort amonir I their wealthy fellow citizens to eu-lave and j oppress them. burden. .

RESIGNATION. Edwin the celebrated comedian, went from a rehearsal with the most uncomfortable sensations. The futile cause was, having a dramatic pait as signed him, which he imagined not precisely to his ability.
