AN ACT OF GRATITUDE. The Noticioso de ArnbosMtualos relates thata young Spanish Surgeon, named Hurtado, after the battle of Ocana, undertook the care of a Pole who was danger ously wounded in that battle. He dressed his numer- CHU wounds and conducted him to Madrid, where he 3113 received into die house of a lady named Luja. This IMY.snd Hurtado were aseiduous in their attentions to the wounded soldier, so that, contrary to expectation, he recovered, and took his departure with the warmest CIE pressioas of gratitude to his benefactors. The Po • lish soldier proved to be the Prince Brownowski.— This Prince lately died at Warsaw, and in his will be queathed to Sr. Hurtado, who had become one of die first physicians in Spain, a legacy of 50,000 francs, and td* Scuora Luja a like sum, in crateful acknowledge nitent on his part, of f,:orvicTs which they regarded as the mere discharge of a datv.

COSTENTION Milt) Morning Poet. PHILLIPS EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS PITTSBURGH, TUESDAY, AUGUST 1, 1843 'The Gazette either purposely or stupidly as sumes, that our remarks exposing the political dishon est,: and hypocrisy of the blue 110 Se leaders, were made under the impression that the power of Antimasonry , va : very great, nod that something must be done to enuntemet its wonderful influence. Nothing in our ar ticles would warrant such an inference; we know as well as Deacon White, that the glory of Antimasonry has departed, and that their present is the last despe rate effort of the leaders, to unite together its broken frn,gmertts, and to postpone its utter dissolution until af ter the October election. Our principal object in noti cing it at this. time, was rather to point a moral, and to hold up as a warning and a beacon the course of the An timasonic party, and the causes that have contributed to its overthrow. The Deacon denies that he is a mason; he says that ten years since he relinquished his allegiance to the Lodge, but forgets to tell the public that he never made it known until he, like other masons, commenced spec ulating in antirnasonry, and it was then reluctantly wrung from him through our effort.,, seconded by the attacks of his brother of the American. But turning state's evidence has been oflittle service to him; the an timasons will not trust him; the sneaking way in which he came into their party, and his reluctance to cut loose from the Lodge, has convinced them that he associates with them only for the plunder and spoils he expects to realize from their success. The parallel he draws between the patriotism of Washington, and the conduct of a mason who turns state's evidence under the "most suspicious circumstan ces," is a piece of sacrilegious audacity that we did not suppose even Deacon White to be capable of; and to compare his mercenary services in the cause of Alaimo.. saucy with those of the "father of his country" against the tyranny of Great Britain, must shock the mind of the most callous political pander. That the "antimusonic yeomanry of old Allegheny are aroused" we fully believe; but they are only aroused to the infamous manner in which, for the kit fifteen years, they have been swapped and traded round for the benefit of a city clique, and are now determined not tk:, permit adhering masoni, or those to whom the dust of the lodge is still stiehing, to drive thorn any longer. MAJOR NOAH AND THE PREiIDENT.—It will be re membered that Major M. M. Noah, of New York, was one of the first prominent whips of the country to de clare for Presidmt Tyler—to cut loose from the coons, and range himself on the side of the administration. He established a paper in New York, for the purpose of aiding Mr. Tyler, and resigned his judgeship, in order to devote inure time to its management, and to make it more effective. Notwithstanding all this, Major Noah failed to procure what be sought at so many sacrifices, a profitable post under the General Government. Cr: :he influence.' which defeated the :Major's application, we know nothing; certain it is that men of less talent and politital influence have obtained places with half the exertion he fruitlessly made to obtain one. Perhaps it witz the want of confidence in his firmness that defeated him—he had wantonly betrayed every party that had trusted him, and all men have an invincible aversion to reneTadi,m—more especially when it is plainly and palpably enacted for purposes of gain. Noah, however, is undeniably one of the best editors in the country, and failing in his attempt to obtain a place, he has establish, ed in New York, a paper called "Noah's Weekly Mes senger." In a late number of this paper, we observe he has withdrawn Mr. Tyler from the canvass, or re commended his withdrawal, in the following queer par agraph: "WITHDRAWAL OF JOHN TYLER AS A CANDIDATE. As we were almost the first person in the city and county of New York, if not in the whole Union, to organize a committee to establish a daily journal to defend the principles and sustain the administration of John Tyler, we deem it a duty to our country, to our fellow citizens and ourselves, to explain the objects of our original as sociation, and the motives which impel us at this crisis to take the steps we are under the necessity of taking, in defining the position of the President, and recom mending his withdrawal as acandidate for re-election." * I I I * * * SEDITION LAW IN FORCE.—The Free Trader say , ..: "In New Orleans, a respectable man was imprisoned last week for saving, "Damn these Aldermen!" He was dragged off to jail by the watch and for some time bail refused him. Through the exertion of Dr. Mc- Farlane, he was at last admitted to bail, and when he appeared next morning with his counsel, the mayor told him be had no time to attend to his case. This is the act of the whig mayor and council of a city that has been made to ring with the charge of tyranny against Gener al Jackson for imprisoning the enemies of his country and the spies and mutineers in his camp." Ltr The coons of Cincinnati arc much alarmed for fear the President will remove Mr. Taylor, the present Postmaster. Mr. T. was one of the noisiest and most devoted of the friends of Genl, Harrison in 1840, and received the Post Office as a reward for his services.— We understand he still holds to the notion 3 broached by the whip in that campaign, and, of course, is among those who denounce President Tyler fur defeating the grand National Bank project of the whig leaders. If this be true, Mr. Taylor and his friends cannot complain if he should be superseded in office, as we think no one can object to an administration fur turning out its ene mies, and appointing those in whom it can place con fidence. It has always been considered propel• for ev ery administration to appoint such persons to office as were friendly to its principles, and we cannot see why the same privilege shouldhe denied to Tyler.

THE MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE CORTened OR the 10th instant, and Gm. Tucker transmitted the cus tomary message on the 11th. Hit Excellency de clares it to be his opinion, that the Secretary of State at Washington, had no authority to pay over to R. S. Graves the amount of about $166,000, of the 2 and 3 per cent. fund—but he was only authorized to pay the said Graves some $22,000, and that that sum tam e i s legitimately chargeable to the Slate, as it was paid in conformity with the law of the last session. He re commends very earnestly to the Legislature to return the amount received from Mrs. Graves to the Govern ment, not being, in his opinion, the monies belonging to the State. On the subject of the Repudiation of the Union and Planter's Bank bonds, he says that they were made and sold "in perfect conformity with the constitution, and that they of right mill and shall be paid by the people of .31ississippi." Tell that to the English. THE ARMED OCCUPATION OF FLOHIDA.—The Flor ida Herald of the 17th inst., says:—"The whole num ber of permits taken out at the land office at St. Augus tine up to the 14th inst., was 217; and from the latest information received from the office at Newtnansville, the number taken was near 700, and about 100 appli cations were then pending; it i s therefore probable that the tiomber now actually issued from that office must be near, if not more than 800. The applications have actively increased at the St. Augustine office, within a few days, and the same must have been the ea,,e at New tniutsville; so that we may now estimate the number of permits taken at 1000; a sufficiently clear indication that the whole 200.000 acres of land will be taken up and that the law itself need not remain long in forre or require the suspension of the law by the President.— East Florida will under this law acquire a permanent population, ere the expiration of the present year, of upwards of six thousand to be added to that which ex isted previous to the passage of the act." II IMPORTANT FROM THE SOCIETY IS LANDS.— By advice received at Providence, dated March 24, affairs at these Islands begin to wear an exciting aspect. We mentioned some days since the fact that the natives had made demonstratians of dissatisfaction with mean:l to the French Protectorate, and the disturb-I:ices. It appears that early in February, H. M. Ship Talbot, Capt. Sir Thomas Thompson, had arrived there, di itxt from England, and also the French frigate Boussoule. Sir Thomas brought letters from the English Gov.. ernment to Queen Pomare; and as she was, on the arri val of the Colgate, On Morea, he sent a boat for her to come over, as she never had been at Tahiti since the French had got possession, and hoisted their prottzto rate flag. But on the receipt of Sir Thomas's letter, she came across in state, with the old Tahiti flag flying in her barge. She pulled directly on board the frigate, without landing, and they manned the yards and ran the old flag of Tahiti to the fore, and saluted it with twenty-one guns, as they also did 01) her departure. The French were mach annoyed with thisprocedure, and protested against it. The English letter to Queen Pomare was, that England would protect her from any foreign power. Sir Thomas advised the Queen to call a meeting of all the inhabitants, and ask whether tin-v were were willing the French should hold possession of the Island. The meeting was held on the 9th of Feb ruary, and upwards of 10,000 natives assembled.— Every man was against the continuation of the French government, and on that night the protectorate flag wns hauled down, and the Tahiti colors ran up. The French threatened to fore into the town, unless their flag was again raised, and the English promised to reciprocate by firing upon them. In this state mat ters remained till the 12th, when Com. Nichols arri ved in H. B. M. ship Vindictive, and gave notice to the natives of his intention to protect them. Another French ship had arrived, and, although no hostilities had been commenced up to the 24th of March, war was expected as soon as the French Admiral should arrive, and he was daily expected. IMPORTANT PROM MEXICO - REVOLUTION IS To- BASCO.- We copy the following from the New Orleans Bee, of the 18th inst: "By the arrival of the schooner Robert Centre, Capt. Sheppard, from Tobacco, Sill Sisal and Campeachy, we are in possession of news from the former port up to the 30th ult. A short time previous to the sailing of the schooner, Gen. Sentmanat, Governor General of the province of Tobasco, had revolted against the General Government, and ‘vn.s at the head of 600 men, preparing to make a stand against the troops under Gen. Ampudia, which had been despatched against him. Sentmanat's forces were daily increasing in numbers, and it is supposed he would be joined by a large number of the indepen dent party in Yucatan, who are not altogether pleased. with the late compact entered into by their own Gov ernment and Mexico. Gon. Scntmanat was formerly a resident of this city, and is a son-in-law to one of our oldest and most respec table citizens." MEXICAN OFFICERS ARRESTED. — From the official inteliig,ence conveyed in the HavaAa papers, received at the office of the Now Orleans Bulletin, it appears that the chief officers commanding the land expeditions in Yucatan have been arrested on their arrival in Mex ico, and imprisoned in the castles of Ulua and Perote. The charges against them are cowardice and incapacity and disobedience of orders'of the President. The plan of the campaign was drawn up by Santa Anna, who directed that the attack on Merida should be made by the high road, leading from Campeachy. EMBEZZLEMENT IN KINGSTON, CAN ADA.—On Mon day of last week, a young man named Askin, formerly a teller in the branch office of the Bank of Upper Canada, at Kingston, was arrested. at Toronto, and taken to Kingston to answer a charge of embezzlement of the the bank funds—Xl3so. Some eight months since, Askin resigned his situation in th , l bank. A younger clerk naiLid Dean, is also implicated in the charge, and is in custody. They are both respectably connected.

DIVAIXATIOS AND BLRIOV3 RIOT IN 8R1719H A attraci.--Thet Treasurer of St. John County, N. 8., as-we learn from the New Brunsiekker, has been su.s ponded from office, for being a defaulter. On Monday, 17th inst., an election occurred at Mi ramichi, when party spirit became intense, and at the last advices threatened serious loss of life. A leading canvasser, Mr. J. Ilea, was so seriously beaten soon af ter the opening of the Poll, that he was carried off senseless and speechless, and it was somewhat doubtful if lie would survive the injuries received. The opinion was very general on the Miramichi, that it would be impossible to conduct the election to the close, and that even if it should, such violence would be used as to ren der the election void.

STRAICOE VLSI rims. •—Tbe New York Express states that a pair of Chinese Dogs attracted great notice t in the stre.2t3 on Tuesday, and are rattily a great isurios. Their color is jet black, and they are as complete bare of hair as the palm of one's hand. They were brau?,-ht out by the S..vo.dish brig that arrived on Satur day, from Canton. i'Several hundred eithens of Cincinnati have in cited President Tyler to visit that eitv next September MOST HORRID MURDER We have to record one of t..hu. most coldblooded mur ders upon record, which was lately perpetrated in Bar bour county; Go!o. by a man named Brown. B. and his wife went to visit a lady named Gachett. who lived a short distance from them, and remained during the evening. On leaving, they invited Mrs Gachett to ac company them home, and remain all night. but she re fused, saying that her two daughters would be left alone. and farther that all the money she had was in hot house. They however, continued to nrge her until she consent ed to accompany them to remain the night. Shortly af ter her departure, a sick and weary traveler rode up and asked permission to stay the night. The two la dies said they were alone, and be could not stop. He said he doubted whether he could ride to the next house, and presuming they were afraid of him, he told them if they would consent to let him remain, he would take his room and s'uffer them to keep the key. At this proposition they consented, and the traveler soon went to his room. Some time daring the night -he was a wake by a noise in the other room, there being but two in the house. Continuing to hear some one moving about, he got up, went softly to the door and discover ed a man at the bureau examining the drawers. He hailed the individual, who instantly drew a knife and made at the traveler, who, as he approached, shot him dead at his feet. The pistol alarmed the negroes, and when they came up they went into the ladies' room and found both of them lying in their beds, with their - throats cutand dead! The traveler, on enquiring for their mistress, was taken to Brown's house. On meet ing the old lady he told her that some one had mur dered her daughters, and that he had shot the villain. Mrs. Brown exclaimed, "you have killed my hus band," and so it turned out; the very person who had spent the day with Mrs. Gachett had murdered her daughters!—Phila. Sp. Times. THE MORMONS This Joe Smith must be set down as an extraordi nary character, a prophet-hero, as Carlyle might call him. He is one of the g eat men of this age, and in future history will rank with those, who in one way or another have stamped their impress strongly on socie ty. Nothing can be more plebeian, in seeming, than this Joe Smith. Little of dignity is there in his cognomen; but few men in this age have done such deeds, and per formed such apparent miracles. It is no small thing, in the blaze of this nineteenth century, to give to men a new revelation; found a new religion, establish new forms of worship; build a city, with new laws, institu tions, and orders of architecture; to establish ecclesia.s- I tical, civil, and military jurisdiction: found colleges; send out missionaries, and make proselytes in two hem ispheres; yet all this has been done by Joe Smith, and that, against every sort of opposition, ridicule and per secution. This acct has its martyrs, also; and the spir it in which they were imprisoned and murdered, in Missouri, does not appear to have differed much from that which has attended religious persecutions in all ages of the world.

Editors: I would respectfully ask, for what object is the names of those dames who oppose the li censing of public houses, (rejected by the Court, at its present session) paraded in your paper. this morning. I would beg leave to inquire of you what part of the law for granting licenses authorizes this petticoat petition ins,. In the second place, have the ladies any spinning or knitting to attend to? It would quite as well com port with their duties to society, to see them spend their time in a more becoming manner than this, by their sil ly interference as to who shall or shall not receive li cense at the hands of our judges. If this parade of names is to influence the Coast, we will dispense, in future, with fees paid to printers, under the act of As sembly in such cases. If these female and male peti tioners pay you as well as the rejected tavern keepers, your printer's fees will be well increased by this exhibit. nut, does this array of names show any thing? There is nothing in the proceeding, becan , e they only approve of the Court rejecting such as hay • .lot the requirements of the law; and we do know tint many men have been denied license at this term, who have, Mail things, com plied with the requirements of the law: and it is for this wanton act of the Court that our citizens complain. This lady petition gives no power to the Court for this 1 usurpation on their part. If this array of names, of ei ; titer male or female, is intend-d to bolster up an act of usurpation in this community, I think the getters up are egregiously mistaken. AN OLD CITIZEN. AND ONE or TOUR SUBSCRIBERS. An old citizen must have observed that the remon strance was published as an advertisement. It was handed to us by one of the Judges, and we understand its publication was resolved on by an unanimous vote of the Court. FOR THE MORNING POST. Messrs. Editors:—..lllow me to offer the name of WILLIAM B. FOSTER, Jr., as a suitable person to be nominated for Canal Commissioner at the Harris burg Convention. Mr. Foster is well known in this State,—has long and faithfully acted as Engineer on the public works. He is a firm and unwavering Democrat, of unimpeachable integrity, and should he be nomina ted by the State Convention, will make an efficient and popular member of the Canal Board. I know of no person who would make a better officer, or whose elec tion would give more general satisfaction. na'Spealsing of places of resort for our citizens, please just look at Bailey's Spria„7; and if von can stop a day, or even for one meal, you will find Mr. and Mrs. Quinlin "at home," and every "cookery" done up in the best style.

NEW Oat Emirs I N Stsistra.—The Tropic gives this following description of New Orleans in the surname season. Really their "sufferings is intolentble" "Throu3hout the city, in every quarter, stagnation and d u b loss exist. The wharves are vacated, steamboats no longer g:ut the Levee, drays are all ti xi up, cabs are stationary, the flower and boquot venders sleep $ corners of the streets, the influenza or grippe is raging, the sun shines warmer than usual, and some people a& about the yellow fever being very bad—then "hi this name of all the gods at once," what shall we do to ren der our sufferings more tolerable. Yesterday we went up to hear Father Mullon, and see Who could afford as any comfort, but we could not obtain it, as his disconme did not touch upon the times at present but altogether the times that are to conic, about which we know noth ing,. From thence we walked across Lafayette Sgratte, sshere everything looked drooping and spiridess, with the exception of a sweet little girl, about twelve-yaers old, whose eyes looked like a couple o( little Starli pit out of the firmament,and whose smile resembled every thing we dream of in heaven. From thenon we passed down Chartres street, through the venerable walks of the "ancient population," where the monotony seemed to thicken into an Egyptian gloom. At the Place d'• Armes, nothing was visible to disturb the deadness and everlasting, solitude that prevailed." REvIVAL OF BUSINES3.—The Philadelphia Foram says:—"The fall trade has opened unusually early this season, and promises to be better than it has been for several years. It was stated to us yesterday, that an old house in Front street made more sales on Tuesday than they ever made in any one day in the most palmy times." WOOL GROWIN O.—The people ofthe far West have, it appears, turned their attention to the wool growing business. Many of the farmers in the Rock River country, Illinois, have embarked quite extensively in it. The Saint Louis Gazette says: "We know of some who have flocks of sheep nuns• bering from seven to fifteen hundred. That country and climate is said to be well adapted to the raising of sheep. They feed upon the prairies, and are protect ed from the ravages of the wolves and other wild mals, by the "shepherd and his dog." The time isnot far distant, when wool will constitute one of the largest staple products of the West; and indeed when our own cloths will be manufactured within the borders of our own western States, which certainly will be a greatre lief to some of our New England friends, who live ameng the rocks and hills of Vermont and N. Hamp shire, who are compelled to get the noses of their sheep sharpened at least once a year, in order that they may feed among the rocky hills and mountains." CLCAiy COUNTERFEITING.—Counterfeits on. Gear. , gia gold pi ices, of the nominal value of five dollars, have been pasied off at New Orleans. They bear the stamp of G. Bochtler, at Rutherford, and we should suppose might easily ba detected, as the Courier says they do not weigh but about half as much as the gems- SPZ.C.Ii: IN Tar. U.

THE \VHF:AT CROP NOT A FAILURE.—The editorof the American Farmer says that after comparing the !lc counts received from all parts of the United States,lo inclines to the opinion that the wheat crap will prove to be an average one. He adds: "The grain . alreody in, is of excellent quality, and notwithstanding theme ges by winter killing, the fly and rust, has turned out s very fair yield. The rust and fly, which, at one time, created so much alarm, have done but inconsiderable injury. Thus far, then, Providence has been bountiful to the tillers of the earth, from Whom an overflowing measure of gratitude is due, and which, we trust, will be repaid in a spirit to render the offering acceptable." CHEsAPEARE AND OHIO CA NAL.—The Ctrtrail:::6o4 Civilian says: "We notice that the work on the Canal 4, is still processing.
