than' Mr. Adams; with his agitat'ed, finger
'quivering in sarcastic gesticulation; he
-seizes upon his foe, arid, amid the amuse
ment of the House, rarely fails to take a
•signal vengeance.
HIS store of special knowledge on every
'subject, gradually garnered op through
'the course of his extraordinary life, in the
wellorranged store house of a memory
which is said to have'-never yet permitted
w single fact to escape it, give him a great
advantage over all Comers in encounters . -
of this kind. He is a wonderful eccentric
genius. Re belongs to no' party, nor does
any party belong to him. ` He is of too
cold a nature to be long a party leader.
llle is original—of very peculiai ideas,
and perfectly fearles4 and independent in
)expressing and triainiairring them. He is
remarkable for his affability to young-per- ,
sons; and, surrounded by them at his own:
table, he,ian be as hilarious and happy.ns;
the' gayelit of them. For one service,
at least, his country owes hint a ciebt of
gratitude. I refer to tfie.fine illustration
which he afforded to the true character of
our institutions, when he passed from the,
Presidential ?since to his present post on,
the floor"of the House of Representatives.
Though the position which he has there
made his own may riot be that which his
friends might wish to see him occupy id
that body, yet, in every point of view the
example was a fine one.
His manner of speaking is peculiar; he
rises abruptly, his face reddens, and, M i tt'
moment throwing himself into the attituffe
of a veteran gladiator, he prepares for the
attack; then he' becomes full orgesticula ,
lion, his body sways to and fro—self
command seems lost—his heed Is bent
forward in his earnestness till it sometimes
-almost nearly touches the desk.; his voice
frequently breaks, but he pursues his Huh•

him reading the licriptties, in the Bengalce, to
seventy-of t eighty people, men, women and' chil.
drcn of that conntry, who were all very attentive:
This gentleman liold Ale that he had been led to
employ some of' his leisure moments in this way.
"And to-morrow 4' said tie, `•as you pass my farm

tinnily within three oi four years. I
.ingoired
how they found theircelves; they appeared de

that Enropcans hind translated the scriptures, that
they may read, in their own tongue, the wonder

with an official perqm in that district; and I men
tion it, because some aeriions tell you that noth
ing is done by. the Missionaries. l asked the
magistrate what was the cimdoet of those Chris

that does excite astontsliment. The inhabitants:
of this d:strict are

so ligniout and troubhasome, that they have
scarcely any matter bht what they bring into a

UNITED STATES BANK IN liONDON.
We tied in a London paper of the 9th of
December, an article 'ft= Which we ex•
tract the following paraffraph:
"The opening of the United States - bank,
which has been established liere, conduct.

in the morning dead .tte bed. Por some.
days he had• been slightly unwell, but was
understood to be reroverO)g. Last night he
retired as usual, and this morning was a

his latest breath. We !believe that his
