And it will not do for the editors of that journal now to allege that they did not know the papers and certificates in question to be false and.forged. They knew well—they could not but have known—froM the pure and blameless char acter of Gov. Shrink, from the high honor and in• tegrity of Mr. Miller and of the other gentlemen With whose names the North ..thiterican has taken such unwarrantable liberties—that the dishonor able charges against them were as false as they were malicious, as groundless as they were infix.

If mere notoriety, be the sole object of ambition left to him, he has surely acquired enough to satisfy the longings of any man; for, if we are,rightly informed, he stands, in Philadelphia, confessedly among the chieftains of rowdyism.— While, if for a moment, he should imagine that the bench could again receive a degraded member, it would be impossible for him to listen, even at a distance, to the soft tones of a piano forte, without being reminded how sadly the ermine of justice may be sullied, when it hangs on unworthy shoul ders. We are not, however, among those who hold that reformation is impossible to.any man ; and if we should hereafter witness any improvement in the manner in which the North atneriran will be conducted, it will afford us much pleasure to chroni cle it. ion. Thomas Miamian. The Hagerstown Torchlight of Thursday, last, contains the following, in relation to the late dis.. tinguisbed Judge of the Western District of Mary land. On the Tuesday previous, Judge Buchanan " held court, and heard several elaborate arguments in Chancery. On his return home in the evening ; he was accompanied, in his carriage, by his daugh ter, (Miss Buchanan,) and was unusually cheerful until he arrived within two miles of his residence, when a sudden silence seizing him, hie daughter cast her arms around him and enquired the cause. He made no reply, and in an instant he had ex• pired, from an attack of apoplexy. Probably' never since the establishment of our county, says the Torchlight, has the decease of any one in our midst been received with more profound regret.— Deep has been the impression of his death, and long will his memory be cherished by those upon whose life, liberty and property he has, in days past, been called to judge. Judge Buchanan suc ceeded the Hon. Roger Nelson, and was elevated to the Bench on the 4th of May, 1815. He was, at the time of his death, in the 19th year of his age. He was the brother of the late Chief Judge John Buchanan, of the Court of Appeals of this. State." Dr. George M'Cook. We intended, some time since, to notice the ap pointment referred to in the following article: but it was passed over u ith a. multiplicity of other matters of interest. We are pleased now to do co —for the gratification of the many friends of Dr: M'C. itt.-khic city. The most gratifying fact con nected with the appointment, in the estimation of his friends, is, that the appointment was made ,without any solicitation on his part.

It is only a short time I since the Dr. resigned a Professorship in the Wild loughby University of our cm n State; and this new requisition for his services, is alike indicative I of his spreading reputation and the discernment of the Board which made the selection. If we are right in our impression, this is barely the second instance in s' Inch a Professorship in an eastern medical school, has been filled by an Ohioan. THE NEW YOKK EPISCOPAL CONVEN TIOIN Contrary to the expeeation of every one, this Convention adjourned last evening, rine die, after a short session of t.vo days. A series of resolutions were introduced by the Rev. Mr. Forbes, and unan imously adopted, virtually leaving to the General Convention, which will shortly meet, the case of the suspended Bishop Onderdonk, for final adjudi cation. The N. Y. Herald of this morning, has a full report of the proceedings of the Convention. We copy the concluding portion of the proceed. ings. The Rev. Mr: Forbes then rore, holding in his hand a paper, which he said contained a series of resolutions : on a subject deeply and vitally affect. log the peace and prosperity of the diocese of New York. Thr resolutions he said were drawn with much care, and he might add, utter much consul tation, and he hoped they would meet the unani i moos concurrence of the convention. The most profound silence prevailed while Mr. Forbes was speaking, all eyes were directed to him, and every member was eager .to catch every word that fell from his lips. The church, he continued is in an anomalous condition—it was in a serious difficulty, and the resolutions, which he was about to propose, were drawn for.the purpose of relieving that difficulty. He then read the following resolutions: Resolved, As the solemn conviction of this con. vention, that justice to the church in the diocese of New York, as well as its beat interests demand. that it be relieved horn its present anomalous po sition. Resolved, That the General convention be, and is hereby requested, to , give to the church in this diocese such relief as may be consistent with its powers. Resehted, That a copy of the foregoing resolu tions be transmitted to the next general conven tion. I:rsolved, That when this convention adjourn, it adjourn to meet at such time and place as may be designated by the standing committee of the dio cese, provided that at least thirty days notice be given of the came. Judge Oakley agreed with the spirit of the reso• lotions, and hoped they would pass unanimously. The resolutions were then submitted, and were passed unanimously. Rev. Er. Tyng said,' suppose there can be but one feeling, and that of cordial satisfaction at this proceeding, and in order to allow every person to indulge in that feeling, I move that the convention adjourn sine die. On being informed that there was some neces sary business before the convention,the motion was withdrawn. The motion to adjourn was renewed, and prft vailed, and the convention adjourned sine die.— Philadelphia Bulletin. Our relations with Brazil.—The New York Her ald, of 1 uesday says We learn from an authen tic source that an order has just been issued from the Treasury Department at Washington, requiring the collectors at the different ports of .entry to levy a duty of twenty per cent, upon coffee imported from Brazil, in the vessels of that nation. Very little coffee is imported into 'this country from Brazil in Brazillian bottoms. There is a Brazillian vessel now in Boston with coff're, and another in Philadelphia, but this is an unusti 4 r occurrence." Dir. Bancroft in England.—The Rev. 51r.

I have been at his houSe seven times—once at a party,— Mr. Bancroft isone of the mast popular ministers the United. States has ever sent to this court. He is yery popular with the nobility.

He might as well talk about the prices fall ing in Tim buctoo or the Sandwich Islands in a cer tain month I The federal Editors must place a poor estimate upon the intelligence of their rea ders, if they suppose that palpable untruths about prices falling in conseqUence of the Tariff of IS46' will be regarded as facts. Su:h humbugery will deceive no longer, Deserters from the Army. Some time since, a statement came from one of the Native papers, that the deserters from our ar my in Mexico, were mainly among the adopted citizens of our country; and charging that the/Irish were most liable to desert. iWe have lately seen a correct statement of the entire number of desert ers from cur ranks, as given in the National Po. lice Gazette, from which it appears that the whole number of deserters, at the present time, is one hundred and ninety. Of this number, 130 were born in this country, .27 in lieland,and IS in Ger. many. It is sorely disgraceful to our countrymen even if the number were not one tenth of that which is stated —as the man born and reared in this country, under such glorious institutions as I ours, who can be induced to desert his cotiatry's flag ift,..l : lirtin of danger, must possess an exceed. , . ingieSall - share of honorable principle. The' Inatives of Ireland among the deserters, is but one-: seventh of the whole number. This is a fact / highly creditable to that portion of our adopted citizens; and reflects the more honor upon them, when it is remembered that they form a very large proportion of the whole army. The natives of Germany, though constituting a smaller portion of the army, seem to stand by the country of their choice, with equal firmness; and are willing rath er to die from the shots of the enemy, than to de serf the dog which protects their rights as men,' and promises freedom to the world. Indeed, there are no facts of importance within our recollection, l which do not point to our adopted citizens, as the, steadfast defenders of' our Republican institutioni The example of vise such man as SUILLDS, if we had never beard ,of .Zttorreoosrstry, would go far. ther to fix our confilence in the integrity of Irish. men, than all the labored arguments which have ever beenwritten,: o prove the danger likely to result to our institutions, (rent the increased and largely increasing numbers 'of natives .of other countries, who are coming among us to find a ho me [Mto Liston Patriot This lady, who is: to appear at the Athenmum tonight, is recomrneUded to the highest considers. tion of our citizens by the universally favorable expressions Of the Tress, in the cities of St. Louis, Louisville, CinciMiati: Detroit, Buffalo and Cleve. land ; and by the'lli4est commendations of the critics of Boston, 'New York, and Philadelphia.

She was ordered off by the Board .of Health, and has since been anehored off- Craiseibland,dismantled and uninhabited. Streit was the dread of the fatal disease, that though every part of her was open, and her valuable cargo of provisions, &c. exposed, no one dared board her; save some hands from the Vandalic whose duty it was to trim the wind sails, that were set with a hope of purifying her. Sail , ors who ventured below, were sure to be seized with a violent sickness—five out of seven who went on board, having been prostrated by the foul stench that arose from her hold. It was suggested by many to scuttle her, but this was objected to, as, it would cause a loss of between 50 and 60,000 chillers worth of provisions, powder, &C., which could not be removed while she remained infected. Some two or three weeks since Professor Robert Grant received permission of Commodore Skinner, Chief of the Bureau, s of Construction, Equipment, and Repairs, to experiment on the frigate with his newly invented disinfecting Gas. Such was his confidence in his own ability and the efficacy of his invention, that all the warnings of his more timid friends could not dissuade him from an un dertaking which seemed death daring He went on board with his apparatus on Tuesday last week, and after laboring day and night, most of thetime "solitary and alone," in a week he reported the ship to Captain Stribbling, of the Pennsylvania. as perfectly healthy, and 4` sweet as a nut." The re sult of his experiment was contrary to the expec tations of many, a complete triumph; and as a proof of his confidence in her purity, he will forth with take up his lodgings on board, sleep in her cock-pit, and keep command of one of our noblest frigates, if the government will only commission him, and furnish "a bold brave crew." The Mackerel Fisheries.—The catch of mackerel thus far this season has been small in comparison with that of the two past years. Out of our fleet, comprising 150 from this port, one-half have con tinued off our shores, and have in most cases been rather unsuccessful, while the others, from the bay, have in nearly every instance returned with lull fares. A large number of vessels, amounting in all to about GO, are still at the bay; many of them are now due, having at the last accounts nearly completed their fares, while others writ not proba bly arrived for two or three weeks: the quality of the mackerel brought from there is very good, be ing principally is and 2s.

He is born, groWs up, flourishes, decays and sinks into his kindred dust, ere the segetable lite has approached to its matu rity. We instinctively venerate all length of du ration. The "Ancient of Days - is the first up venation of the Great Spirit of the Universe. The oak that flourished years before our birth, and will continue long alter we have mouldered away, par takes of the feeling which we attach to all things whose existence exceeds our own narrow space. We grieve fur the destruction of What is irrepair able with peculiar emotion, and we moralize over the power of man, who, in one short hour, can cut down the strong tree that has stood for years be yond his numbering, but which he in vain may de sire to restore. In every sense, how great is his power of evil---bow limited his capability of doing good! Cold Bedroarris.—A prison accustomed to undress in a room without a fire, and to seek repose in a cold bed, will not experience the least inconveni ence, even in the severest weather. The natural heat of his body will very speedily render him even more comfortably warm than the individual who sleeps in a heated apartment, and in a bed thus artificially warmed, and who will be extremely liable to a sensation of chilliness as soon as the artificial heat is dissipated. But this is not all— the constitution of the former will be rendered more robust, and tar less susceptible to the influence of atmospherical vicissitudes than that of the latter. [Journal of Health. Letter from Father Matthews—The following says the'Alhany Evening, Journal, is an extract from a letter received by a gentleman in this city, from Father Matthew, by last steamer: We are, thank God, in common with your country, cheered by the prospect of an abundant harvest, and though poverty still broods over our afflicted country, thanks to your magnificent gifts of food and money, comparattve plenty gladdens the toiling laborer's cottage. Next spring. God permitting, I shall proceed to your glorious Re public, to give expression in person to the grati tude that swells my bosom." Balance of Trade.—The Boston merchants, says the Journal of Commerce, have shipped in the last three mouths 13,38 G tons of rice, costing nothing. The books of the Custom house, when the pro ceeds of this ice are brought back, will show so much balance against the country. We export a cargo which costs nothing, and import in pay ment a cargo of value. For doing such things, and for generally bringing back more than it car ried away, trade was accused and convicted of im poverishing nations. One would think that any body could have seen through such a delusion ; yet our highly respectable race did not see through it until some fifteen years ago. The bridge across the Susquehanna, at Harris burg, which was swept away by the great freshet last year, has been rebuilt, and opened for travel. The entire length of the wood-work of the bridge is 1,414 feet, and the spans are from 200 to 255 feet from centre to centre.
