A Whig State Convention of delegates friendly

is going on pretty warmly in Alabama, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Indian 4, and North Carolina, and in. all
the' whigs have every reason to anticipate the most

cent election in this State gives the following result
for the State Legislature--Senate 12 Whigs-3
Conservatives-17 l o ocos.—house 68 Whigs-12
Conservatives, and 54 Locos—giving a Whig and
Conservative majority of 24 on joint ballot.
The Congressional representation consists of 7
Whigs, 2 Conservatives and 12 Locos. There is
nul doubt, however, but that Barton, Whig, will get
his. seat in place of Lucas, Loco. This will make
tIl parties stand to Whigs . to 11 Locos. At the
last congressural election there were only 6 Whiga
Li; 15 Locos. INthis is not a glorious triumph in the

Philadelphia Loan Comp:inf.—ln consequence
of the numercius reports in circulation, prejudicial to
the character of this-Institution, a committee was
recently appointed to investigate its aff..irs. The .
committee promptly performed its duty—and in an
address to the public, declares all the ramorsrespec
nog its officers and the credit of the luititution, to
be without foundation; and, pronounce its affairs to
be in a most Prosperous condition: They can and
do meet all its liabilities. The reports, according•to
the address, originated with two or three of the late
Directors, who appear' to have been disappointed,
and who resorted to this, method of venting their
spleen.
The new Board of Directors have elected Frank
lin Contley, Esq. , President of the Institution, in
the place of Mr. Schou, who is elected a Director—
and unanimously re-elected T. M. Moore, Esq.,
Cashier. • .
An Ancient ChapeL—At Chester, is England,
a chapel, upwards of fifteen yards long, fifteen and
a half broad, and fourteen feet high, has w.en recent
ly discovered under the ground; and cleated of rub
bish. The arches are Gothic ; beautifully grimmed,
resting on pilasters about half way doitn the wall,
the whole is in an admirable state of .?reservation.
At the west end are two niches, in wtich the bap
tismal or sprinkling fonts (for holy water) have been
kept—one of which was found in the rubbish, and
is now placed to the situation it originally occupied;
the other was broken by the workmen. At the east
end of the chapel are steps which have led to the
altar ; and on the south side of the *lapel are a
flight of steps leading inw a subterittnedus passage,
now chohod up. It is plain that this Was anciently
place of worship for the monks behirging to the
monastery of Grey-Friars, which . was *uated near
where the ht. Bride's New Church, oprosite the.cas
tle, now stands.
The Aurora Llands.—Late English and Ameri
can charts have stricken off this cluster of islands,
as there existence has been doubted. Woodbridge's
school Atlas, however places them directly east of
the straits of Magellan, between the Yalhlancl Isl
ands and South Genrgia. The Spanish Government
about 80 years ago, claimed the honor ot their dis
covery; for near 40 years they were list viskted, hut
that Government at the expiration of tail time, sent
a sloop of war to survey them, it is saidAhat they
surveyed icebergs for the Island. and :placed themnear live deOes of longitude' too towestward.
Since this many distinguished navigators of other
nations have cruised over that ground, and comet
to the unanimous conclusion, that they did no
exist.
It appears however by a corresponlent of Col.
Webb, from Rio de Janeiro, that. the Brig Medina,
one of the three vessels fitted out by Mr. klurrowes
of N. Y. , 'to survey the Antartic Ocean, has re-dts
covered them six in, number in !attitude 53° 22'8.
longitude, 44' 18' W. l'he motives which indu
ced Mr. Burrows, to•undertake this expedition are
very laudable. It appears that a few years since,
his neighbor and townsman in Gonne:tient, Capt.
Johnson, after consulting with Mr: B. Ind commu
nicating to him his views, sailed front the port of
New York, bound into the Antarctic teas. Capt.
J. was llama from in a high latitude, going south ;
since which no information bas been' had of him.
Mr. B. , knowing the cou•se he intended to take,
though there was a possibility of rescuing his friend;
and like Capt. Back in search of Capt.. Ross, reach
ed into the icy world, apparently regardless of the
fate that awaited, him. •He did not get any positive
kno.vledge of Capt. Johnson, but. he found eight .
wrecked vessels, and house' built from a wreck, fit
ted for a winter's residence ; he also fo•ind several
graves, one body net interred. For about six months,
no labor, toil nor exertion was spared ; and 'the A
ngus., sufferings and dangers encountered were as
, tonishing. He was shipped on an iceberg five Miles
from Georgia, and by. a invade was rescued by an
other boat, that was driven by accident to the spot
where he was. For three days be had, with his boat's'
screw, been on thilicteberg, without food, His health
however, appears better than when he went south.
We wish him a happy return to his country, with
the rich reward his toil and industry merit, and a
long enjoyment with his friends in North America ;
and can only say, that if the same zcil animates the
National Expedition, sad all on boat i d, that has this
individual undertaking, a kreat triumph . is in store
for our country.
Hyper-eritseism.—The Philadelphia Gazette
quotes the folfowing paragraph from cooper's Naval
History and amens that the word were, whenever it
occurs is ungrammatical.
Ms. Decatur, with Means, laird and Stowe, were
tokev.p possession of the upper deck. Mr Lawrence,
with Messrs. Laws and M'Donough, and 10 men,
were to repair to the bvrth-deck and foreward store
moms. Mr. Bainbridge, with, Mr. Davis and 10 men
were to go into the ward-room and steerage; Mr.
Morris with eight man, was to go into the cockpit
and after store-rooms ; Mr. Thorn. with the gunner,
surgeon, and IS men, were to look after toe ketch ;
to Mr. hard was assigned the command of the
Leech should
. she be needed, and Mr. Anderson,
with the Siren's cutter, was to secure all boat" along
side the ship.
Now with all due deference to the Gazette and
our recollection of Lindley Murray, we inlaid contend
that Mr. Cooper is correct. The prepobftion
true, destroys the copulative nature of the aen.
tame, befit is revived by the conjunction “and'' in
every instance, except this—ahlr. Morris , with
sight men, was to go into the cockpit." Hein the
change of number, denotes that hlt. Cooper did not

Burton's Gentteman'i- tliegozene.—The spirited
proprietor-of this excellentperiodical has associated
with him,- Edgar 4. Poe, Esq. ;as assistant Editor.
The July number is equal in every' respect to its
prerh.....mors, and if the new editor can improve the
succeeding .ones, we will pronounce it somewhat

The Eiiington Tuarnament.—As the time draws
nigh for the proposed Grand Tourney to be given
by . the young Earl of Eglingtooi all Europe is be
coming Interested. The town of Irvine, near the
Caste, has been all engaged by parties at the most
enormous 4tes. The courts of every continental
power have been ransacked for articles of splender

most gorgeous display, since - -the time Qeen Bess

More Troubles.—The authorities of Nova Scotia,
and our fishermen ale again at loggerheads. The
crews of three vessels have arravesl at Castine, who
stated, that their vessels had been seized for an of
leged vtolation of the treaty, being in the harbor of
T..sket-ksle, Bay of Fundy. The fishermen state
that they were under the
.necessity of putting into
the harbor for water, &c. and that while thus enga
ged they'were taken by a Cutter from Halifax, and
their vessels Laulid up and stripped. Another
account, however, states that the schooners were
seized for setting herring nets at Tusiket, in viola
tion of the agreem.nt existing between Oreat Brit
ain and the United States.
The late Canal Conynizsioqers.—Mr. Stevens
has entered his protest against the proceedings of the
committee appointed dy the House to investigate the
conduct of the law Board of Canal Commissioners,
as they refuse to receive in evidence the statements
of the superintendent, engineers, or contractors, who
alone are conversant with all the•facts of the ease.

• Carthage —Sir Grenvile Temple has succeeded
in making many interesting discoveries, connected
with the site of this . ancient city.. In the ruins of
the temple of Juno Celestis, under which- name the
tutelar goddess was worshipped at Ganarth, he found
upwards of 700 coins, and many glass and earthen:-
ware utensils. -.Near the shores of the Mediterra
nean, he has discovered a villa, fifteen feet under
ground; nanny of the apartments have been cleared,
and the walls are found to be painted and the vesii
budepaved with superb mosaic, representing marine
divinites, plants, vessels and animals. In other pla
ces were found several human skeletons, supposing
to be Cm remains of warriors killed during the storm- -
ing of the villa. La another house were discovered
various interesting mosaics; representing gladiators
combatting with animals in the arena, with the name
of eactreombatant written over his head. In an

The whole are represented to be highly interes

in a notice of the School Director. last • week.
there appears to be an intunstion that Mr. Peter F.
Mudey is enutled to considerable commendation for
the faithful discharge of his duty as a School Di.
rector.
I believe a broad assertion to that effect, would have
met with general approbalioeu but it is certainly

Ate meetintof the Crtanda, of lienry,Cloy, held
et Heniy ?dagei•a!llot,el on Elatotday June 8, for the
Finrpose of appointing 'delegates to the Chambers
.bOrg Convention,Vamtuts'Ealrni, Esq. war called
to the chair, and Jana S. Wallace appointed.Sec
seta-y.
The fialowifirgehtlemen were , appointed a Com
mitt& to draft rionilutionaexpresshe of the sense of
the meeting: Messrs. A. 111.'White,.1,
Joseph White, 'Joseph George; W. IL Mann, 'N.
Evans, and David
. Nice, Who reported the following:
Resolved,
~That we view with deep concern and
anxiety, the political crisis to which our nation is
advancing, ai.d feel {hat the safety of one free insti
unions and the preservation of. our rights as free
men, will be materially influenced by the course
which the vest Whig party throughoutnur country
may take in the next Presidential question.
Resoled, '1 hat while we express, with that free
ra.rn of choice we cordially extend to others, our
preferences for Henry Vas, still we shall most wil
lingly concur with the nomination 'of the Natiorail
ConventiOn, and contend for the true Whig motto.
of "principles, not men."'
Resolved, That iiihne.we arc assembled here as
the friends and supportertof Jenry Clay, for the
next Presidency, and while we pay all due homage
to the splendid talent arid brilliant Statesmanship,
which has inade him our first choice, we owe a pri
or and imperious duty to our country, which im
pels us, to preserve unity in our l'anks the un
compromising opponents of Martin Van Buren,"
and that all minor preferenceiandprejudieetrehould
give way before that duty.. Never bay there been
such an imperious necessity to remember the fun.
(temente' principle of our union, "united we stand,
divided we fall." It has ever been the favorite plan
of despots, to strengthen their own power by divid.
ing the energies, end sowing distiention in the ranks
of their opponent.. Such.a course has proved more
formidable to liberty, than the Tarpeian Reek of
Rome, the Ostracism of Greece, the Lion Bead, of
Venice, the Inquisition ofSpain, the press-Muzzling
of Austria and France, the eubtreasury scheme of
Andrew Jackson, or the officeholder's fund of Mar.
tin Van 'Buren. These have proved .a millstone
weight, clogging the rise of free principles, and
rendering us supine and powerless, before the ma
chinationw of crafty politidetans 4nd dangerous dem
agn2t3fEl.
Resolved, That deeply impressed with the rest
ful truth -tot these views, a truth which has almost
amounred to IV Int:filly with the Whig cause, we ini
',tote them to unite in one COMIIIOII cause—by so
doing they will tread the path to victory. Fight
the good gt,t aeons man shoulder to shoulder, nu
flinching, no separate nianouvering: let all . be bar
y, d:reeted towards one great and desirable end,
the downfall 01 Van Burenism, and the rescue Of our
nontry from the grasp of a debased and despised
faction, such as car uphold a _Kendal or a Buchan
an while they anathematise a Talmadge or a
Rives.
Resolved, That our delegates to the Chambers-
burg Convention, be instructed to report therein,
d 6 the sdo termination of the Whigs of Schuylkill
County, friendly to Henry Clay, that they will suffer
no individual bras or faYoriteisin, to deter them from
co-operations w:th the National Convention, and
that their tole 14m is, in the language of Benjamin
Watkins Leigh," to check , the transition of the fed
al government ono atmere elective monarchy; and
a monarchy — elective through the instrumentality of
the roost malignant faction and the foulest corrup
tion, by the dismission of our present rulers from
the puhlic council , and conAdenee forever.
' Res;dved, That Jistits S. Witt... Lace be the Dele
gate for 'Schuylkill County to the Chamber/More
Convention, and Dr. G. G. Palmer, the Senatorial
delegate to said Convention for the. district corn.
p,wei of Schuylkill and Colurnbi t Comities.
Resolved, That James S. Wallace, Joseph George,
3. T. linuird, and JLawtance Whitney, be the
conferees to meet the confetees that may be appoint
ed by the Whigs of Lehigh County. to appoint a
Delegate to attend the National Convention, .to be
held at Hurrtsborrin December Next, and that *aid
cnnferees'meet at the Douse of Gideon Oswalt, on

Resolved, That the Delegates and ctinferees a
