AN EXCELLENT STORY AND A "FAIR HIT." The Martinsburg, (Virginia) Gazette, in allusion to the fretfulness of governor Troup, and the uneasiness given to him by the general government, has the following apposite anecdote:

after waiting some time in the expectation that the court would take some step for the preservation of its dignity, ventured to suggest to the justices that the respect which they owed to themselves, required of them not to permit such conduct to pass unnoticed. Their worships, thus urged, went into solemn council upon the matter, the result of which was announced by the presiding justice-"It is the opinion of the court, Mr. H. that you mus'nt plague and vex Mr. Jones, and make him curse and swear so-if you do, we'll put you in the stocks."

The corn-ware-housing-bill has been virtually rejected by the lords. Mr. Huskisson, however,'says that he will renew his project. It was opposed by the lords, lest "the Americans should deluge the country with their fine corn." The lords have no objection to delugeing this country with their flimsy calicoes; but will not take bread in payment for them.

Now, what more of "free trade" than is exhibited in this proceeding, will any American farmer ask? And yet, stuff like this is eulogized, and in American newspapers!
