Seeing a stranger enter, the presi dent commanded silence, while my ,friend introduced me with the grave forniality of a presentation at court. The President order ed fresh glasses all around; I received one !leaped with the thick, creamy foam. The students all rose; the President bade me welcome, and gave the signal to empty the glasses:—Oae! two! aired! I must not be behind the rest. Fortunately, i was not entirely new to the trick, and though the Leer burned my throat with a choking sensation, and ran out of my mouth at both corners, and streamed uxer my vest, 1 1 managed with these Aritting mishaps, to get ,my glass as soon as the best of them, with the advantage of nut having swallowed Half so much liquor. This indispensable ceremony over, / sat down with my friend to see and 'hear the rest. It was a right jolly corn pany.— They sang wild songs, they made huge jokes and laughed hugely at their own wit.— Tbey nem laid down the pipe except to take up the beer-glass. But the drinking, to do them justice, was not so immoderate as I have heard it was. Not a student there that evening drank over six glasses. • Between nine and ten a loud rap on the door brought every ono to silence, and the President sent a massage to open and see who was there. It was a messenger from a rival corps, the Vandals, bringing a chal lenge. Ile was formally invited to enter, and to take a seat at the right band of the President. The corps servant brought him a foaming glass, and after a general drink, ho rose and read the challenge and the ap pointment of three Vandals to fight any three Suabians whom the President m'ght name. The President called for the list of fighting members, and chose three to meet the Vandals on the following day, precisely at ten o'clock in the morning, iu the famous ltirschgasee (stag lane) where the corps students generally fight out their bloody but harmless duels. Furnished with the names, the messenger, with great ceremony took hie leave, escorted to the door by two of the oldest members of the corps. Tho rest sat chiming, singing, drinking, stink ing, till eleven, when the "toper's alarm" was tong: we were obliged to break up and take our departure, all bur•rooms being , close! by law at that hour, except on fes tive occasions, when pormlssion may be ob tained of the police to keep open till one. Not having space enough left in this let ter to describe the duels which took place the following day, I may as well conclude with a statement of the different kinds of duels prevalent among the stndonts. First in order came the corps-duel, where the one corps sends a gendral challenge to another, us described above. There is no bad blood in those duels. Indeed, the opposing chant pions aro often the beat of friends, who fight each other only far the honor of their res pective corps. The most fr qnent duels, however, arise from personal feeling. A student who wants to fight selects his an tsgon'st, and takes the first opportunity to nudge him with his elbow in passing. The answer, "dotnmer longer:" (Wockhead) leaves nothing to Le desired; the young gentlemen exchange cards with the utmost gravity and decorum, and separate profound ly bowing. The seconds arrange the rest. These duels also are generally very good natured, and rarely create lasting ill•will.— 'Phe antagonists lay open each other's cheeks, or clip each other's; noses with smil ing politeness, as if it were the pleasantest and most friendly pastime in the world.— But now and then a real duel takes place, arising from bad blood, not unfrequently with a fatal termination. In general, however, etu4ents' duels are the reverse of traxlc, and (11,ta:. accidents, though some times occurring, are very rare in the Hirsch gasse.

Davie Scsrevsam—Owing to the panic created by the clamor of the disunioniets of the South a panic has seized upon the com mercial community, and the Banks have been compelled to reduce their accomm Ida flans, and finally teouspend specie payments. The Virginia Banks suspended early in the week, the Washington and Baltimore Banks followed, and on Thursday at noon, on con sultation the slicers of the Philadelphia Banks deems: it safest to suspend also.— Our Bank, with the Country Banks generally throughout the State, suspended on Friday morning, after learning the action of the Philadelphia Banks. We hare nut heard I up to the time of our going to press what course the New York and Eastern Banks will pursue. The suspension appears rather a precau tionary measure than a forced one, and ere ates no excitement. The panic is one en- I tirely distinct from a commercial prostra tion, and arises from the political frenzy of th 3 3outhern hot-heads, fosteried and backed up by Northern speculators. There is no doubt but the agitation of the secession question consequent upon the termination of the election, would, of itself, have created more or less uneasiness in the sensitive cir cles of trade, but bad not this hullaballoo been echoed and outdone by unprinpled presses of the North, the distress would have been far lase than it has proved, and the alarm subsided in a few days. As it is, we believe that confidence will speedily be restored. Synth Carolina may bluster and resolve herself out of the Union, all of which amounts to exactly nothing if unsupported by attempted secession of other and snore important Southern States, and we believe that the South already feels too acutely the evils consequent upon even a threatened dis solution or the Union to follow the mad lead of the unprincipled demagogues who howl fur a disrnption of the confederacy. A few weeks, we hope, will calm the excited South, and the present stringency which falls so heavily on the border Slave States, will have no email influence in contributing to a more happy state of affairs. In the aeen while, we 10 the North mast suffer tempo rary inconvenience, bat we triast nothing more serious. Ur'Now) far a "kiss."—Gra it, my two 1i pie. —Punch. A New Breszarsetia.—Ttar.

The boat then an nonrated lies since been completid, and on Monday,afterneon, in comp - any with at 1171• bee of citizens invited by Mr. McConkey, we took pert in the formal inauguration of a new era in .our internal navigation,— Much interest was manifested by the people and Front street and the wharves had many on sate hrolc-out lon before the boat made her apTcarancis on the river. At near two o'clock the stranger was seen to move from her wharf in the Canal Basin at Wrightsville, and presently she rounded the abutment of the tow-path and steamed for the Columbia shore. She was watched with lunch inter.- est, and by the time she touched at the Pub lic Ground Company's Wharf, foot of Wal nut street, a crowd had collected to inspect the novel craft. She appeared a fine speci men of the Canal Boat with the addition of a !mote stack, escape pipe and steam whistle, the latter heralding her approach with shrill screams. A handsome national flag flew at her stern, and the dealt was crowded with citizens of Wrightsville and York. with the Wrightsville Band, which greeeted us with their fine stirring music.— On touching our shore E. H. Weiser, Esq., of York, made a few remarks, inviting tho Co lombians aboard, in the name of Mr. McCon key. Whe'i Columbia had contributed her contingent of excursionists, the JOIIN EDOAR Tuomrsox—so Mr. MoCuakey has named his pioneer boat—headed towards the York County shore, and steamed off amid the cheers of the crowd. On reaching the deck of the "Thompson" the first inquiry was "how does she work." Every one was eager in praise of the craft, and we needed but a few minutes experi ence of the smooth steady motion, and ob servation of our speed through the water— in the teeth of a pretty stiff breeze, too—to convince us that Mr. McConkey had achieved a success. The boat was curiously exam ined, but with the exception of the small apnea in the stern occupied by engine. boiler and fire-room, she was but little different from a first class canalboat in !arrangement. She had on board part of a c argo of salt brought up the canal on her fir..t trip.— There was, however, one little arrangement, which specially distinguished the "Thomp son." After viewing, as we thought, her entire m:toliinery, we received an intima tion from her hospitable owner that we had yet formed but a faint conception of the steam generating apparatus of the craft.— fie iuvited farther examination.

On again reaching the deck we found the boat about mid-ricer. Here three cheers were proposed for "our whole-souled, whole hearted host, Wm. BleCunkey," and given with a will, followed by three more fur the citizens of Wrightsville, which compliment was repaid by three for Columbia, by our nighhors over the water. We steamed under the bridge, took a short turn up the river, then again passed down, near the Wrightsville shore, cheered by the citizens on the wharves and tow-path. We then ran towards the dam and the boat was again headed for Columbia. Here an cm issary from below—not one of the infernal attendant imps, however, but rather a jovial messenger of the gods who somehow had set up below deck—requested another de scent into the bowels of the craft, this time into the cabin. We found again that our cursory survey of the vessel had been very incomplete. Hero in the extreme forward end we discovered a chock-full little apart ment into which the anxious inquirer low ered himself as into a well. The -shrtile is just, for he found truth at the bottom; that is if in vino millets. On gaining our sight after the perilous descent we found the untir ingly hospitable McC. exploding and emp• tying—into ready glasses—the choicest Heidsock. We retain but a confused recol lection of this portion of the day, but recall and inquiry shouted down the well, whether we should stop at Columbia, and the reply "No: put her about!" Then on deck "Star board!"—er "Larboard!"—or was it "had apart?" We hear I . the tramp of the jovial tars, their cheery "Yeo hol" the creeking, of the cordage, the flapping of the sails, its the gallant vessel:answered her—hullo! we weren't that high. No. no! that was the champagne We found, however, on return ing to the deck that we had again turnrd . our back on Columbia. We again steamed around the dam, stopping at the York Co in ty shore to take aboard a. small deleg,a. - ion of guests from Marietta. The sky was overcast and the weather rather blustering, but, nutwitbstanding, the trip on the broad beautiful Susquehanna which washes our shores was delightful, and one long to be remembered. In spite of the sombre dress of the embracing shores and the islands studded so thickly below the dam, the view constantly before our eyes was one not often excelled in this land.— And with the beautiful we could not but ap preciate the practical; so admirable is our natural home, both as a magnificent picture and an industrial site. Our advantages are manifest to the most casual observer, and it requires but little faith to believe in their ultimate—and, we trust, not far distant—de yelopement. Mr. McConkey's enterprise, we hope, is a step in this direction. If his boat—as we do not doubt—will successfully navigate our canals, it will soon be followed by the (footplate establishment of steam in /and narigstion; and the enlargement of' the canals to aeciotemodate larger crafts will speedily succeed. We hope before many years to see at our wbarves vessels which shall exceed thei'"Thompeon" as_ slab is su perior to, theborie and :mule boats of the present time. . The boat - made!aet to the Walnut street wharf at abonk . four o'clock, when Col. James Myers, 41 the pare-of the Colom bians, in n few eloquent rat - narks, expressed their sense of.,Mr.llcConkey's enterprise and tiospitelltY.iiid,-Mr. Maar/Pan followed in the same vein, after which our citizens landed and the boat moved towards home, carrying with he; the warmest wishes of her late passengers and saluted at parting with a round of cheers. We must not omit a well deserved com pliment to the Wrightsville Band for their delightful music, which so materially added to the pleasure of the excursion. While Col. Myers was speaking Jolly was engaged in photographing the boat. Owing to the limited time and the dullness of the weather he only partially succeeded, and on Wednesday Mr. McConkey, with a party of friends, many of them ladies, gave another "Bitting." Two pictures were taken, and although under very unfavorable circum stances decidedly doe representations el the "John Edgar Thompson." The following statistics concerning the boat were furnished us by Mr. McConkey. She was built by Geo. Geiger, at Peach Bottom, York County, and is 84 feet in length, width of beam, 15ft 4in; depth of hold, Gift; tonage 80 tons. She is pro pelled on the Loper principle and driven by an engine of 20 horse powar built by Charles Reeder, of Baltimore. She is cal culated to tow a boat with 100 tons of frieght, She steamed from Baltimore to [;acre do Grace, 60 miles, in 12 hours, with a cargo of 400 slinks of salt. The speed made in the trials on our dam was fully ton miles per hour. The "Thompson" loaded 2500 bushels Corn and with a boat in tow carrying 3100 bushels, left Wrightsville on Thursday morning for Philadelphia.— Owner, Wm. McConkey; Captain, John B. Thompson; Engineer, IYm. tiirud. She re quires a force of three men, including Captain. A prosperous voyage and a safe and speedy return to the John Edgar Thompson, and success to her spirited owner. Secr.ssplx.--We have not copied into our c,l a Inns any of the thousand and one senwion paragrephs in regard to the &nail and Secession with o hich the daily press teems. We find them, after a fewr days' keeping to be made up fur effect. containing one tenth of truth to nine tenths sheer fab rication. They have done and are doing immense injury to every interest in the country. They are denounced as baseless, both by the papers which advocate and thdse which ridicule and denounce secession, yet they are repeated day after day, and, wo presume from this very fact, are eagerly sought after by newspaper readers. While we are nut of the old fogies who cannot sympathisd with the spirit of progress, we must confess to Au unwillingness to keep approving pane with *he "enterprise" of the city daily press. We question whether the hcense of the press dues not ah.'ost counter act the liberty of the press. The former has arrived at such extremes that even the Vile graph. is prostituted to servo its sensational r urposes. Irresponsible and mendacious correspondents in all quarters of the coun try, vie with each other in the art of lying to give it its proper, unvarnished title, and journalists back them up with a shameless ness that calls imperatively fur rebuke ani correction. To this striving after sensation, we attribute the present ezaggerated pro portions of the secession alarm. The actual state of the case is nearly this. South Carulina is determined to go out of the Union, and in order to precipitate a movement among the Cotton states will' probably take step leading to secession without awaiting cooperation. The States of Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Missis sippi are naturally influenced by the action of South Carolina, and are agitate.] besides by the unprincipled efforts of aspiring dem agogues, but in all these States is a large and influential party, led by able and elo quent men, which, while strenuously bat tling for the rights of the South, will not consent to be d'agged into disastrous action by t.ie hot he:tds of South Carolina. The border Slave States are opposed to the move ment in Colo, and while they will probably take advantage of the excitetnont to endea vor to force term+ upon the North in favor of the institution of Slavery, will not join any rash movetnent, particularly if headed by South Carolina. Thus the ease stands, and it fa to the good sense, and patriotism of the more reasonable Slave States that the laying of this troubled spirit should be left. At their hands the secessionists will meet determined resistance, and in their hands we hope the settlement of this trouble may be placed. The feeling in the North is to deny nothing in reason, but the South must not expect that the real grievance, the hid den motive, Lincoln's eleotion being hut the pretext, for that movement can ever be re moved. We mean the increase of Northern influence and Northern power in the admin istration of the National Govern tnent. IVith our growth must necessarily be developed our influence and it is this that the South fears. We believe that it, will only be ex ercised for good, and will not be aggressive. The South will learn to believe the same, and then, and not till then, we shall have lasting peace. In the meantime we hope for truce and calm discussion.

Titania limps—ln a pleasant article contributed to 'Await's Blegazine;in Octo ber, 1857, entitled "JaysinitNaticrackers," are collected some aneodbies'of birds, with a view of proving that those - brought npin confinement, and taught to 'speak, in time become acquainted with the meaning of the I words which they ,'utter. -Now-whether such cases as those -referred to are merely the result of accidental coincidence; whether, having been - taught' to - asseciate certain words with certain actions, it is only by rote and mechanically that birds are led to repeat them at the appropriate times, as they unquestionably do; or whether they ever really understand the meaning of what they say, it would be hard to prove, no mat ter to what extent instances might be mul tiplied. Although r do confess I donot give birds credit fur ao much sease as the author of "Jays and Nutcrackers," yet I will contri bute an anecdote for the accuracy of which I can vouch, and which, as far as it goes, certainly tends to prove his theory.. A parrot belonging to some friends of mine was generally taken out of the room when the family assembled .at prayers, fur fear lest he might take iuto his head to join irreverently in the responses. One evening. however, his presence happened to be un noticed, and he was fbrgotten. Tor some time ho maintained a decorous silence, but at length, instead of 'Amen,' out he came with "Cheer boys, cheer." On this the but ler was directed to remove him. and had got as far as the door with him, when the bird, perhaps thinking he had committed him self, and had better apologise, called out, "Sorry I spoke." The overpowering effect on the congregation may be mare easily imagined than described. The parrot of a relation of mine also used, whenever ho dropped anything ho was eating, to say, "Pick up Bobby's crust," be ing doubtless prompted by the same train of associations which led another parrot to say, "Thank you," whenever anything was given to him. The following story is not a bad one, hut all that I can say with regard to its audio', ticity is di nonje vero, a tan trovata—lf it be not true, it deserves to be so for the sake both of master and pupil. Some parrot fanciers had agreed to meet in a year's time, when each was to show a -bird for a prize, proficiency in talking being by common con sent the gre.tt criterion of merit. On the day appointed all the rest Caine, each duly bringing his parrot; only one appeared without his. On being asked why he had not shown one according to the agreement he said that he had tried to train one, but that he was such a stupid bird he was quite arhamed to bring him. Thi' excuse was held to be inadmissible. All the others in eisted that, stupid or clever, he must be produced, and his toaster accordingly went off for and returned with him. No s-otier was he introduced than looking round at the large assemblage of birds, lie exclaimed. "My o—, what a lot of parrots!" The prize was immediately voted to him by ac elimination. WIIAT A BUY CARMEN IN nix PuCKET I wonder whether those little silver pencil cases with a moveable almanac at tho but end are still favorite implements with buys. and whether pedlars still hawk them about the country? Are there pedlars and hawk ers still, or are rustics and children grown too sharp to deal with them? Those pencil cases, as far as my memory serves me, were not of much use. The screw upon which the moveable almanac turned, was con stantly getting lose. The 1 of the table would work from its moorings under Tues day or Wednes lay, us the case might be, and you would find, on examination, that Th. nr W. was the 23i of the month, (which was abserd on the face of the thing,) and in a word your cherished pencil-case an ut terly unreliable time-keeper. Nor was this a matter of wonder. Consider the pool tio t of a pencil-cave in a boy's pocket.— You had hard-bake in it; marbles, kept in your purse when the money was all gone; your mother's purse knitted so fondly, and supplied with a little bit of gold, long since —prodigal little sonl—scattered among the swine—l mean amongst brandy-balls, open tarts, three-cornered puffs, and similar abominations. You bad a top and string; a knife; a piece of cobbler's was; two or three bullets; a •'Little Warbler," and 1, I for nu part, remember, for a considerable period, a brass barrelled pocket-pistol (which would fire beautifully, fnr With it, I shot off a button from Major's Jacket;) with all these things, and ever Ito many more, clinking and rattling in your pockets, and your hands, of course, keeping them in perpetual movement, how o. old y expect your moveable almanac not to be twistel out of its place now and again—your pencil Case to be bent—your liquorice water not to leak out of your bottle over the cooler's whs. your bull's eyes not to rtuu up the lock and barrel of your pistol, and so forth.-7kaela eray in Cornliill Magazine jot• September. 270,170 376,435 17,350 12,755 Dead m Indur, WASHINGTON IRVING NEARLY KILLED BY A JEALOUS INDIAN.—The following is an extract from some recollections of Washing ton Irving in the Home Journal: "I was nearly killed by an Indian, once," said Irving, one evening. ••When I was a young man, I was traveling in Canada, with a friend. There were more Indians there then than there are white men now. One raw, chilly day we were rowing in a canoe on the Saint Lawrence, with an Indian for guide. As we neared the spot where Ogdensburg now stands, he invited us to his wigwam to get something to eat. Securing the canoe to tho share, wo found his squaw busily cooking venison. Our guide motion ed us to a seat by the fire, and then pro. ceeded to drink a large quantity of whisky. "My friend watched him closely; but I talked to his wife, who at first gave me short answers, glancing at * her lord and master to see if he listened, which he seem ed not to . do, then she talked more freely. The squaw was very ugly, having the over• burdened look that you see among Indian women; so, from half pity, as she took the large haunch from the fire, I rose to assist her, At the some moment her jeolooe'hus- MD MEI -' MIMI band. raised a largetclub, striking me on the hen - af,itlilow that In:ldeate falkineensible at blared: As he was 'about tei',..repeat the blow, my friend °Might me tri*-hts arms, and, Teething. from ther.;Wigwam, deposited me in the canoe, and wig taking me rapidly down the stream before our half drunken pursuer reached the shore, .1 soon recover ed my senses, but I neier'wes polite to a squaw again." gotambia Lumber Market..., Panel Bard' and Plank, W.
