Mon day, at St. Mary's College. in that city, calculated to bring disgrace upon the perpetrators. It.appears that one of the Students from the Eastern Shore, du ring that day, gave orders to_a white woman, em ployed there as a servant, to take a pitcher of water to his room, when she informed him that his room did not come under her care. whereupon.the student seized a pitcher, the servant had in her hand, and broke it over her head. For this conduct he was immediately ejected from the College by the Presi dent. The other students, it appears, took offence at the just and peremptory orders of the president, and while they; were all at tea on that evening, most of the young sprigs, no doubt as Rreviously agreed upon, suddenly rose, threw the dishes on the floor, upset the tables, breaking them and the chairs to pieces, and groisly insulting the officers of that ex cellent college. High Constables Mitchell: and Cook were sent for, and order restored, since which, fifteen of the most active in this disgraceful affair have been expelled from the institution. A SisortAtt STORT.—In the correspondence from Algiers, the Toulonnais, intim following singu lar story is related : During the Marshall's last expedition, one of our chasseurs found..aar (he tents of a tribe we were ravaging, a sack of considerable magnitude. With out seeking to know its contents, he fastened it on the crupper of his horse. Ere long, to his utter as ionishisent, he heard a human voice issue from his hurthen, and dismounted to solve the mystery. On opening the sack, he discovered a beautiful female between 16 and 17 years of age, and a valise con taining about 10,000 francs. It appears that the young woman %Arts the wife of an Arab, who had thus packed her up with his money as his two great est valuables, btit in his terror had abandoned them boih. The soldier placed his living prize on 'tine of the amunition wagons: and divided the money with his comrades." Mtssissirei-Arritlns.—Most gloomy, indeed, do the official records of this State represent its pecunia ry condition, For s6verel years the annual expendi tures of the State have exceeded its receipts. For the last twelve Months the receipts 'were $161,000, and the expenses $491,000, or nearly three to one. During the year, the Treasurer was compelled to fail in the payment of a large amount of Auditor's orders. In the statement of the condition of the Banks, it seems that the greater part have faded altogether.— Of the Mississippi Union. Bank, founded an the Bonds of the State, a most melancholy account is given. The capital was, we believe ; fifteen millions of dollars. Of the assets, eight millions of dollar; are returned; as ' , unavailable resources," and are of course ldst. This comes almost entirely from the. miserable plan of advancing on rolton—on most of which 'the Bank lost thirty dollars per bale. Hearn BLE.—Among the accounts received from the U. S.

The Ulster Asso ciation thought they could do something without ag itating the question of Repeal. I would, of course, be glad to know how much they could do; but I think that Sharmon Crawford is beginning by this time to learn that they could .do little or nothing, and, as I have said, I have little doubt that we will Boon have him again in this room as a Repealer.— [Cheers.] He must see that,we have been driven to Repeal, when our rights werb opposed by a majority led on by Lord Morpeth, the best of the Whigs. Men say they are afraid of our removing, by the ag itation of Repeal, the present administration, or dis turbing them in office; and I don't like myself to disturb them or remove them from officOest we might let in worse than the Whip.

Foreign Hells. MMMM Mahn DEATH OF A FORTUNE TELLER. A few weeks since, an inquest was held at the London Ale-house, in St. Mary Arches street, before J. Warren, Esq., Coroner, on the body of a woman named Sarah Gribble, who had been found dead in het bed on Saturday afternoon. The deceased was well known as a celebrated teller of fortunes, and her fame in this way had secured her an extensive practice. She occupied a tenement in a back court. St. Mary Arches street, consisting of two rooms of small dimensions, one on the ground floor, and the other over. The former of these was as miserable and comfortless as well can be imagined ; and it was here that the numerous visitors, who came to seek 'for information of the good and evil things that were in store for them, were compelled to wait until the prophetess was at leisure to attend 'them. The room above stairs was that in which the deceased ate and slept, and in which she was accustomed to deliver her oracles, and here in fact the whole of her time has been spent for several years past. To con• voy anything like en accurate idea of the scene which presented itself on entering this apartment,— would be altogether impossible. It was a scene, in deed, of filth and wretchedness, which altogether deties description. In one corner of the room a space was petitioned off by a couple of deal planks, which served this singular being for a bed, and here, with nothiug but a heap of filthy rags between her and the floor, and with a' miserable covering of the same description, she was accustomed to pass nearly every moment of her time. Clothes and linen on her per son, she had stone—if we except an old pair of stays, which she wore next her skin, and a pie& of fustian cloth, which was tied round her waist. A dirty brown handkerchief was thrown over her shoulders, and tied in a knot upon her breast, and her head was covefbil with a cep; which sho had never been known to change during the time she had resided in the house. She wore neither shoes, nor stockings, but, dressed as above described, used to sit continually in her bed, remaining constantly in one position, with (as one of the witnesses stated) 'her nose and knees together.' In her bed place were found, after her death, a great quantity of articles of food, which ap peared to have accumulated for some time, and which there is much reason to fear had been purloined by s e rvant 'girls, who probably found it more convenient to satisfy their curiosity at their masters' expense than their own. There were heaped together, in one heterogenous mass, potatoes, turnips, and vegetables of all kinds, fruit, butter, bacon, dripping, and a variety of other articles of a smaller description, which the deceased was never known to have purchased, and the ros session of which can only be accounted for in the way we have described. A half pound of butter was found under her thigh immediately lifter her death, and the other provisions were directly at her lett-- The only articles of furniture were two deal chairs, a small table, a tea kettle, and some trifling vessels of earthenware. There were heaps of rags arid dirt covering the whole of the apartment, and upon the mantel piece a bottle which had contained rum. The window was completely covered with cobwebs, and the odor exhaled from so much filth was intolerable. One thing struck us as curious ; it was an old tin candlestick with a deep bottom, which was entirely filled with the snuffs' of candles, piled up so as completely to hide the tube in which the candle should have been placed. There was a fire place in the room, but she_ had never been known to have a fire in it, and her kettle was boiled for her by a neighbor, who was paid 7d a week for her trouble. About the room were scattered several packs of cards. The room was never cleaned, and she herself had never washed her skin while she had resided in the house. And yet, wretched as was hei abode, Sally Gribble had numerous visitors, many from among the more respectable classes of society, and on a mar ket day, especially, her anti-room a as thronged with customers, anxious to obtain admittance. She was the daughter of a woman who was famous as a for tune teller, in her day, and had never been married, and she delivered her predictions with an air of au thority, which, no doubt, gave.them all the greater weight. Her manner was anything but conciliatory; and when displeased, or unreasonably interrupted, she Would order the intruder away with the most horridt imprecations. She always pretended the greateSt poverty, although, as will be seen, a large quantity of money was found in her apartment, and the necessaries of life were evidently supplied to her in abundance. The circumstances of her death will be better understood,by the evidence given before the Coroner, which we now subjoin. Catherine Vaughan,, re-idini in the same court yard with the deceased, said she had lised there about 18 months, and was in the habit of boiling her kettle for her. She never had any fire in her room, and never had anything cooked, except occasionally a small bit of bacon, which witness dressed for her. Deceased used to sit continually on a heap of rags. in the corner of the room, and witness' had never seen her laying.down on it. She was in the habit of ,having tea twice a day, once between four and five in the evening, and again about eleven o'clock at night. A great number of females, and many most respectable ones, used to come to her to have their fortunes told. Witness had seen as many as 20 or 40 of an evening. Until within the last five or six days, deceased was in the habit of bringing her kettle to the clown stairs room, and calling to witness to take it, and then - she would immediately return to her old position in the bed. During the last week she bad been unable to come down, and witness had gone herself to the room to fetch the kettle. The last time she saw her was between 11 and 12 o'clock on Friday night, when she gave her her tea, and she was then sitting as, usual. She had been complaining of being ill, and witness had offered, as she had repeatedly done before, to send for the doctor, but she would not hear of it. She desited witness to lock thelloor, as was her custom, and to take' the key with her, and to 'come to her agaitiat the usual time on the following day--that was between four and five o'clock : witness offered to come in the morning, but she said she should not. On going the following day, in company with a person named Godfrey, she found Mrs. GribLle dead. A message was instantly despatched for an officer, and Milian Promptly attended, followed shortly at terulards by Shears and Sparks. the beadles of the corporation of the poor. The ,deceased pleaded the greatest distress, saying that she had not a farthing in the world, and she could not tell hot, she should pay the rent that was due; she had been failing for some weeks, and fancied she was dropsical. Elizabeth Godfrey, who lives nest door to the de ceased, had been sent for on Friday night, during the absence of Mrs. Vaughan, to render some assist. l ance which was required. There were some other fiersone in the room, The 7 were tmoble to het near ERN EiEll a:.,\.,, f .4 ...,... ..., c.... 9 DVERTISER ME the bed to help her, in consequence of a small table being in the way.. Witness-proposed to remove it, but deceased find hold of the Jeg and said she should not. She appeared to be very unwell, and witness and a man who was present helped her to shift her position as well as they could. She remonstrated with her on her manner of living, and entreated her to think of it seriously; but she ordered her to de sist, as she did not want any preaching. Witness fetched her something from her own house, which she fancied would be useful to her, but she bade her take it away, as she would have no white things there. Witness sfiggested that she should have a little gin, and she declared she had not a farthing in the world, although she wished to have the gin. At this moment, in . attempting to get away the table, a bason was thrown down, and a quantity of silver money fell out. Witness spoke to her of the asset.; tion of poverty which she had just made, but the only reply she got was, that there was £lO lOs in the basin, and they wanted' to rob her ; witness Counted up the money, which amounted to £ll Is. 1-4 d, She put it in a basin and handed it to de. ceased, who placed 'it inside her on the floor. She was apprehensive the next day that something had happened to deceased, and wished Mrs. Vaughan to go and see. She did not- go, however, until abort five o'clock, and then they found her dead ; witness could not tell if the bason found by the officers was the same as that in which she had phn ed the money on the previous night. John Ginham deposed to having been split for on Saturday evening. He found Gribble 40. She had fallen over on her right side, with her face quite close to the wall; and her nose had been flattered by . pressing against it. Witness caused shears and Sparks to be sent for, and a quantity of money was found, which was given into their possession. A basin was found inside the bed, close to the deceased's thigh. It contained only .C 2. Bs. 1 1.4 d. John Shears, beadle of the corporation of the poor, stated that he had, assisted by the other officers, made a search of the room, and they had succeeded in find ing money to the amount of about £94. Of this sum, £55. 12s. 6d. was in sixpences, £34. 1 Is. in shillings, and 16s. in copper. There was but one half sovereign, and the remainder of the sum found was made up of half crowns. About it I was found, wrapped in an old pocket, under the head of the de ceased, but the greater portion of the money Is as found in small baskets, in the corner of the cupbord, completely concealed by cobwebs. Other small sums were found wrapped in dirty pieces of rag or paper, in other parts of the room ; a great deal of the mon ey was quite black and cankered, and had evidently not been disturbed for several years. The search was not yet complete. Tim money had been given into the hands of the Treasurer of the corporation of the poor. . The jury returned a verdict of tNatural death.' While the old woman lived she was not known to have a relative in the world, but immediately on her death and the discovery of the money becoming known. more than one person was found to claim kindred with her. She used at one time to keep a number of cats, who were her only companions, but latterly she had only one remaining, which has been loitering about the premises since the death of its mistress, and manifests a great anxiety to get into the old dwelling. The body of the deceased was interred immediate ly after the inquest, in the burial ground at the New Cemetry.—English Paper. SA LAMAOUNDT.—How to manage crying children —let them cry.

If all the hair is scalded off your head as you walk along the street, by hot water thrown from chamber windows, there is nobody to blame. If a gentleman snow balling in the street, plant a lump of ice in your right eye, as you are passing, there is nobody to blame. If a man dies suddenly, arsenic is found in his stolnach, and the woman marries en old friend be fore the corpse is rotten, there is nobody to blame. If a man is confined in jail until death and rats do him divide, there is nobody to blame. If a dozen women and a nice young man break their necks on the ice that is suffered to accumulate before your door. there is nobody to blame. Sits.—but few persons are aware of the value of the importations of ails into this country. The Journal of the American Society. says that the im. portation of silk into the United States, during the year ending 30th of September, 1839, amounted to nearly twenty.three millions of dollars. Compared with other articles imported, thabofsilk is one fourth more than the amount of any other. The amount of manufactures olcotton imported, was $14,692,. 397; of iren, 812,051,664: of cloth and cassimeres, $7,078,914; worsted stuffs, 87,025,898 other manu factures of wool, $3.567.191 ; one half the value of silks and !worsted stuffs. 81,166,042 ; total woolen gouda, 81034,90. The importations of sugar amounted to 89,924,632 ; linen $9,731,278. So that the importation of silk nearly equals that of woolens and linenitogether. and is equal to half of the other fabries,cotiobined.

Gait. BURRIION IX Wasenvors..--Last week We alluded, in a brief manner, to the reception of Gen. Benison in Washington. The National Intelligen'• cer of the 12th inst contains a full tecount of the re. ception of the old hero 'at the seat of government. The waving of bonnets, the continued rearina of artil lery, and the united acclaim of congregate atbousentle, gave ample assurance ofthe str'ono I hold that Gain Hanison has taken upon the affections of the people. The subjoined• address of the Mayor 'of Washington, Col. Seaton, was particularly excellent, and his allu sion to the proscription " under e n. Jackson, was happy in the extreme. "fa obedience, sir, to the nibhes of my fellow I citizens of Washington, beg Nava to Offer to you in their name, a cordial and heartfea,weloonte to the Metropolis of the Union. They codid not, have as signed to me a duty more gratifying to my own. feelings, or one which 1 should be, wore Frond to perform. NO 8 "As there wfts no portion of the American pee. pie who had sotelcep a stake in the i,.sue ot the late Presidential election as the inhabitants of this city. there Was no portion of them who telt a deepersolici tude in the event of it, or a morc'sincert and grate. tul joy at its glorioul result. "Althou;7,ll the pecaliar suhject ofFederal Legis teflon, and at the mercy, as it were. Of , the Federal rulers, the people of this city yet dated to think for themselves, and publicly to avow their disapproval of the measures of the administration ; they dared to invoke their countrymen throughout the Unisn to rise up and rescue the Government from the hands of those trho had abused their trust,'and whose rule had proved so disastrous to the public weal. " Fnr exercising this sacred right—a right inse. parable from every just notion of epublican liberty —a right never questioned but by tyrants, and nev. er surrendeted bat by slaves for eserciiapg this free Atnerican privilege, they have been inbjected to tn. dignities and oppressions which put to shame the must flagrant of those acts of British oppression which impelled our fathers to take up arms. Still, undismayed by the Menaces of power, and unsubdu ed by injustice, the people of Wailtington shrank not front their duty. They continued to assert the frea right of opinion arid of speeb, to proclaim their own wrongs and those of their' cotintry, and to bear testimony against the incompetency and unfaitlifulnes3 of the liublic rulers, and they have the proud satistaction of believing that their voice was not altogether unheard in the awakening of their countrymen to a reuse of the public danger, and the necesity of a change in the Executive Gov ernment. •• Ehven years ago, sir, you returned to this city from an honorable and important trust iibumd, the first victim of a remorseless political protcription, till then unknown to our history. It ou now enter it at the call of your country, to take the place of those who proscribed you, and to occupy the eleva• led station which was prostituted to your persecu tion—thus signally rebuking intolerance alien to the spirit of liberty, and furnishing an example of retributive justice honorable to our republican in stitutiows, and cheering to the iriende of tree gov ernment, " The necessity of reform is insciibcd in every lineainent of the National Administration ; and you, sir, have been chosen by your country the honored instrument of that reform ; it you the hopes of the nation are now centred—hopes, indeed, made bright by unbounding confidence. "Happily, nir, in your known character and past history we have every guarantee for a faithful, wise. and honest administration of the public affair ; and we have only to pray that it may prove as happy for Yourself Pcrterially - ,Us we are confident it will be advantageous to our ecnimon country.: " In the name of toy fellow citizens. I make you welcome to the city of your official residence." [The MAYOR concluded by tendering to the Gen eral the hospitalities of the city, and said be should be happy, whenever Isclilerised, to conduct him to the quarters provided for his acrommodaticin.] To this Address General II Anal soN replied, briefly, but well. He said that a long and intimate acquain tance with the citizens of 'lVuantigtoo had left him no room to doubt a reception, from the Ma) or arid those whom he represented, as cordial as that which he now experienced. M hates cr difficulties he might encounter in the administration of the Government of the Union, he said he had a most pleasing antici pation of happiness in his social relations for the time which he might reside amongst-hem, With respect to the unpropitious circumstances of the affairs of the District, to which the Mayor had alluded.in his Address, Gen. H. said, whatever they might be, he begged him to believe that no motive was wanting to induce him, by all the means within his power, to contribute to their improvement or re formation. THE EXTIIA SI.SSION.—The presence of General Harrison in Washington, says the' Baltimore Amer ican, will probably cause a speedy settlement of the question a hether there is to be on Extra Session of Congress or not. The general sentiment seems to be in favor of such a step, inasmuch as it appears to be one of necessity. Yet the decision of the Pre.ident elect, united in consultation as he will be with the most intelligent statesmen of the country, will be acquiescid in, we doubt not, let it turn on which side it may. The people have confidence in the sincerity of the in coming administration, and believe that honesty of purpose and a true regard for the good of the repub lic will characterize its measures ot policy. The actual amount of public indebtedness is hard to be ascertained. We published nut long since an exuact from the speech of Mr. Barnard, of Now York, which contained acme singular disclosures.— It.was there shown that a disbursing officer of the Government in submitting his estimate for the year's . expenses, was directed to reduce them one half.— Not that the expenditures would thereby he made less, hut that they might be made to appear so. The result of such exposition must be td cause distrust of the correctness of the official reports generally, relat ing to the financial affairs of the Govertiment. It is herein that the strongest reason is found for an Ex tra session of Congress.
