Iastiic. llamllttl In America. A singular circumstance, which befc-ln gen tleman onc'tlny last week, has been since re Isted tu -iid. The gentleman in question had lull Jancostcc, l'u., in a vo!iiole, alone, with Uie intention .of going ito Havre dc Grace in this State. Shortly after leaving the city, he overtook a woman with a basket on her arm, who requested him to allow her to ridca short distance in .the vehicle with him, Faying .that she was very tired, tmdlind not far to go. I le granted the request, but after a time, from some cause, he suspected his companion was -not what she professed to be, but a man in disguise. A closer examination under the veil, for the person kept closely veiled, confirmed his doubts, and as he was rapidly approaching a dreary woods, he was anxious to rid himself of his company, how to do it was the question Time became precious, and he at last -resorted to the ruse of knocking off his own lint, acvi OENTALL.V, of course, while his horse was in full trot, lly the time the horse could Le reined up, the hat was left far iu the rear. He propo ted to the lady to get out and bring it to him This she retused to do, stating that she would hold the horse, the gentleman replied that the horse was irather a fiery one, and he could not trust him to her. After a little parley she con sented to go for the hat, leaving the backet in the carriage. The gentleman .watched his lime, and when the lady was farthest utT, whip d up, leaving his hat behind, and drove with nil speed through.the woods to the next Louse. There lie mentioned lis suspicions, and upon examining the basket, a pair icf jpistuls. full loa ded, and a tin w histle were found in it. The inference was then clear that his companion was a villain in disguise, who had planned to rob, perhaps murder hiin, and that there were accomplices not tar off, who could le easily cull ed by the wliistle. It may be well enough to mention that he had a considerable aiuouut ot money with him, a fact which was probably known to his catiipaniou. Thanking liis stars for his escape, for he eiMidre it an escape inubt likely from & -violent death, he rot tia the pistols and the loss of his liat wrihthe grea test pleasure imaginable.

Tin 7 tad families, had become dissipated, and from want nd vicious associa tion were led to the commision of the offence for which they have-suffered imprisonment. In Decemhor last, their torm of imprisonment had expired, but they were still kept in confinement on account of the com of prosecution. Through the intercession oi'tlie .W arden .r.nd the IJ. S. Marslwl.thc President remitted the costs, and on monday last, they were released from their solitary ocIUj. 'When they met thiyy felt thay they were 'broth ere, and their meeting is described as being of the most iiHncting charac ter, each grospingitfie other in a most ardent manner, nnd exhausting the overflowing jiy they fell upon each other's bosoms. They left the left the prison -together and proceeded to the 'Marshal's office to get some articles let! there at the tiineol'their committal, where they were kindly received and advised. They hardiy knew what .to do itndnr the-cir-iTumtitHiicrs, having'but f'l each in cash, which hbd been given to them by the Warden of the Penitentiary. Feeling thut they were "stran gers in a strung- hind," llioy passed down Chesinit street, when to thuir surprise and joy they mot a cousin from the State of Indiana, who, it appears, is a wealthy -resident there, and who ut once oflbred-lo convey each of them nnd their families to that State and settle thorn upontrn-jts of landof which he was possessed. This kind offer they accepted, and will no doubt appreciate it. It is said, thut while in prison they both behaved in the most exemplary manner, r-nd hnd 'learned to mnkc shoes.

The people anxiously looked forward for relief lo tlse legislature. "They akcd for bread, IkiI they gave them a atone." If ever lle term of "currency linkers" was applicable to aay et of men, it certainly lelongs to those who matured and brought forward th resumption bill, recently passed by the House. At the commence ment of the session rliey were highly indignant that any ooe should attempt lo repudiate any poition of our state debt, held by wealthy foreign capitaHs, yet at one fell swoop, they would repudiate and sponge out one half of the Mt contracted with tlieir own citirens, by the passage of the Belief bill of fhe last session. Sueely patriotism and sound morals never could have dictated to lliem such a course. We never h id much fsilh in the Belief bill of last session. But when the legislalute authori ses the Banks lo issue bills on certain conditions, viz : that they should be receivable for the pay ment of oVhudue the Hanks, anJ these bills are thus re ceived by the ople, it is a valid tout rati, whkh no subsequent legislature has a right to abrogate or impair. Theie is a higher tribunal lo whtch we may resort. The constitution of the United Slates et piessly Avian's that "iio slave thall pass any law impairing the obbgatiou of contracts."

The jealousy of Great Britain at once awoke; sho saw a rising rival, and prepared to destroy it. The manufacturers ask the protection of Cioverntnctft.
