The While House The Now York
Journal of Commerce gives Iho following
account of this cdllic'o nnil its furniture.
The president's hotiso was built in '07.
John Adams was at its first occupant; lio
received $14,000 for furniture. Mr. JefTci
son, in 5iis eight years received 829,000;
Air. Madison, during '.lis two terms receiv
ed 926,000 more. The furniture in the
iiouso, when it was destroyed by tho Brit
ish in 1814. had thus cost $71,000. When
Mr. Alonroe took possession of it. S30.000
were nppropriated lor furniture and nearly
all the furntturo was procured from r ranee
Mr. John Quincy Adams reqoiVed and ex
pended $45,000 more for ' fvtiitule. Mr.
Van Buren has received only 23,000 in
his first term; and of the preseilf-nppropria-tion,
only $700 is for furniture, and that for
an ante-room, where porsons calling on tho
President can havo a chance to sit down
while they aro waiting to sco him. Not
withstanding all theao. expenses, tho house
is not furnished in a stylo commensurate
with its extent and uses, and tho hospitality
which the people expect from the man who
occupies their house. It- was staieu in con
gress that many privatB mansions at the
uoilli are better furnished in respect to their
intent and purposes; and that a house in
Washington, opposition to the presidents,
is also much better furnished.
Important Casta. Tho arguments of
Couiisul on mi)liun,in seven suits instituted
against the United Slates Bank, upon their
notes, to show cause why judgments should
not be rendered in favor of the Planliff's for
want of sufficient affidavits of defence, were
commenced yesterday in the District Court
fur this City and County; and will be con
tinued to-d.iv- The aggregate- amount of
the clulms in these suits exceeds $100,000.

AN AWKWARD
The Baltimore Sun states that oi Satur
day night, as a stranger from the cotintty-
was carrying a basket tillou Willi botticti ci
der, which ho was taking from his employ
er, Mr. Walsh, to a customer, when pussing
through the Marsh Mrkot ho heard a sud
den report, as of a pislol, and at the samo
time felt a blow liehinu the ear. i no man
dropped basket aud eidor( and fled to his
home, which was not far distant, under the
full belief that he had boon wayla'd and
I shot at by robbers. Aghast with fright, he
1 i t i ii-.i.. . 1 r .. jnn.n. ., .. .1
ueggeu ins lanuiauy iu buuu iui u um.iv. .mu
a priest, for ho had been ratlrdeied by some
scoundrels in thu market house, and he was
a dead man. Tho good lady put oh her
specs, and closely examined his head, but
could perceive no wound or tho sign of any
thing Btrango, except a strong smell nf ci
der on his arm. This solved tho mystery,
and with some persuasion tho man was in-
dueed to relurri to tho spot where ho had
been killod, atid there he beheld his basket
and hollies all safe save one, the cork of
which had popped out and struck him un
der the ear.
Killing a liobber. Tho Nov York
Planet says that some few days ago, " a
stranger of elcganl address, and announcing
his name a3 Armstrong, presented himself
at the farm house of Col. Wm. Andrevs,in
Esex, Mass., and demanded hospitality on
account of Jit3 carriage having broken
down. Ho was cordially received, invited
to take a seat at tho dinner table and was
ultimately lodged iu the best bed chamber
for the night. Some time after the Colonel
was in bud ho was surprised by the entrance
into his chamber of his distinguished guest,
Willi a pistul iu his hand, with which he
threatened to murder tho Colonel if ho did
not deliver up they key of his money box
Aftet a parley, the Col. got up, and led the
intruder to his secretary, which ho opened
and displayed a drawer full of cash. Upon
this tho robber transferred the p'i3toI to his
left hand, in order to leave the right at lib
erty to grasp the treasure. This move
ment was watched by the Colonel, who
instantly wrenched tho weapon from the
weaker hend, und laid the lliief dead at his
feet."

More Colonials. A suit has beeri decid

in order to send them to Libeiia.
Whiskey vs. Matrimony. In Ireland it
seems that marriages have decreased fully
a third in all the districts in which the tec
