way, when the schooner gave a sudden lurch, and the
giassea and bottles jingled and clattered together on
the table. The Spaniard started up.
-'Captain!' he cried furiously, `the schooner is sail

'Certainly,' replied the captain, very coolly. 'You
surely did.not expect, Senor, that we are going to miss
the finestbreeze, that ever filled the sails.'
"
Without answering, the officer rushed upon deck, and
looked in the direction of the Moro. They had left the
the fort two miles behind them. The Spaniard liter
ally foamed at the mouth.
'Soldiers!' he vocifera ed, 'seize the captain and- the
prisoners. We are betrayed. And you, steersman,

The officer looked around, and became speechless
when he beheld the soldiers' muskets' piled upon the

looking sailors.
'You would not dire'—he exclaimed.

A gentleman arriving at New Orleans, was prompt

Jackson's fame. Arrived at the spot, he fell in with
an old negro who bore the marks of valor on his per
son in many a scar and wound. The gentleman in
quired of ebony how long he had lived in the neighbol

"You can tell me the situation and relative position of

BEAVARIS OF FRAUELS.—Knowing the total want of
political honesty in our opponents, we have on several
occasions, cautioned our friends to be on their guard a
gainst tho frauds that we were certain would be at
tempted on the eve of the election. We have not been
mistaken; the vilest means have been resorted to to de
feat the democratic candidates. A correspondent in
forms us that tickets are now "in circulation in all the
townships south of the Monongahela, with all the dem
ocratic names on, excepting Co!. Troaillo, forSherhar
and Geo. R. Riddle, for Prothonotary; and in place of
these the names of Geo. S. Hays, for Sheriff, and Al
exander Jaynes, for Prothonotary,aro substituted."—
These are the antimasonic candidates, and the fraud
has, no doubt, been concocted by the antimasonic
clique of the city. These hypocrites, although uttering
their daily cant about their superlative morality, hones
ty and honor, have no scruples to engage in the base
employment of eonaderfeiiing our ticket., for the pur
po4e of cheating democratic voters. We are.loath to
suppose that Messrs. HATS and JAYNE 3 were privy to
this franc we have always regarded them as honorable
men, who would scorn such dirty means to procure an
election. We look upon this fraud 111 one of the mean
est that could be committed by a candidate or party.
It is an attempt to cheat the citizens of theit:Yotes,and
to gain by a trick, worthy of a sweat-cloth gambler, a
support which could not be obtained by an honorable
appeal to the voter!.
Demosrats, be vigilant! be cautious!—examine well
every canto on your ticket before you vote. Keep a
sharp look out for this and other frauds of our despe
rate opponents, and expose every man you find thus at
tempting to defraud the people of their choice.
"Sella Tot isio. - -Our good friends the Antimasons
are making some largo calculrtions as to the disaffec
tion that they suppose exists in:the democratic ranks.
and they hope to receive the votes of all the dissatis
fied in our party. At best, this is but a pleasant illu
sion, and we don't like to knock away the last plank
that yet sustains the shivering and quaking carcass of
Antimasonrv; but we can assure them there is no ground
to indulge in such a foolish hope. The democrats feel
that they have never had a better ticket, or one more
worthy to call forth their energies in its supporr, and
though many may have been disappointed in not having
their personal favorites placed on the ticket, yet they
find no reason to abate their zeal in sustaining the can
didates selected. Theynre all good men; on the score
of democracy and competency unexceptionable, and in
personal character are irreproachable. What ground,
then, is there for a single democrat to scratch his tick
et? He has no political reason for doing so, and be
certainly can find no moral objection for withholding his
support from the democratic candidates.
We have conversed with intelligent persons from al
most every district in the count•, who assure us that
si better feeling never existed among our friends, or a
more general satisfaction with the wkole ticket. It re
quires
bet a little exertion and watchfulness to trium
phantly elect it.
If there are any who intend to lend themselves to
the opposition, they are but few, and very prudently,for
their own credit, keep their designs quiet. They can
not influence the result, and the hopes which the oppo
sition have in their disaffection will but serve to in
crease the mortification of the disgraceful defeat that
awaits them.

they succeed in breaking the democratic strength, they
will then cast off the tools they used in the operation,
as unworthy of their fellowship or friendship. A per

opposition to use him fur the purpose of breaking down
his party, is indeed a mean creature, worthy thefriend

DEPOPULATION.-At the Sandwich Islands, in the
Rev. Mr. Lyons' field of tabor, Waimea, during the
last year there were in a population of 5,600, four hun
dred and thirty-foar deaths, and in the same time these
were only ninety-eight births.
NRSV YORK FASHIONS.—The new fall bonnets,
says the Aurora, range from $l5 to $3O, and head
dresses from $lO to $l5. Materials fur bonnets-rsilk
and satin are now worn, (it being too early yet for, vel

of feathers. The head dresses are ornamented with
costly tassels of gold and silver.
JEWISH FESTIVAL.—On last Wednesday the most
solemn festival of the year with the Jews throughout
the world, took place, it being the day of Atonement.
Josara Gttiots, democrat, was elected Recorder

of 183 votes over his federal competitor. Mr. G. re

PAINFUL OCCURRENCE.—IN Jantlaty last, a com

proverbial for the orthographical accuracy of its issues,
was so mortified at the detection of an omission of a
letter in an article ho had set up, that he committed su

SAD Acc ID Esr.—The wife of a Mr. John Bulger, a
citizen of Marengo, Ala., in drawing water from a cis

FRANCE.
We see it stated that the French have possessed
themselves of another post in Africa, which they are
fortifying fora permanent post. It would seem that
she is determined not to be outdone by England in the
grasping nature of her policy. The Herald justly ob
serves, that her occupation of Algeia, her seizure of
the Marquesas, her intention in regard to Spain,
her alliance with Brazil, her line of Atlantic steam
packets, her sending a special minister to China, her
every movement in fact exhibit plainly her determina
inn to be paramount in Europe.
FROM CANADA
The New York Tribune says a slip from the office of
the Torotto Banner gives us the speech of the Gover
nor General of Canada on opening the First Parli

a Princess, to the death of Gov. Bagot, and to the re
spect which his remains on their way to England re
ceived from the people of the United States. The act
favoring the admission of Canadian Whcnt and Flour
into Great Britan is approved and the Governor promis
es to submit measures for the improvement of the Prl)-•
vincialJudicature.of the Municipal instiurtions, schools,
Jury systems, and Assessment laws of Canaria. He
speaks in high terms of the gratification derived from
his recent tour through the Province. of the progress
of Internal Improvement and the general aspect of the
country. He commends the prisons of the Province
to the attention of the Legislature. There has been a
decrease in the Provincial revenue which he trusts will
be only temporary. He has appointed the following
persons as members of the Legislative Council: —Hon.

sheltered themselves from a shower of rain in a tobac
co-house, the owner .of which said, "You enter without
leave—do you know who I am? I am justice of peace."
To which Story replied, "My friend here makes such
things as thee—he is Go% ernor of Pennsylvania
DEPLOAAISLE.—SeveraI respeemble matrons in a
fashionable quarter of this city, were thrown in quite a
consternation last evening, by a somewhat whimsioal
mistake of an elderly gentleman. He was reading a
New York paper, and came to the sentence—"We are
now able to state that the Yellow Fever is all over in
New York"—meaning that do fever had ceased. The
ladies immediately took fright, and, like all frightened
things, lost their presence of mind, and interpreted the
sentence into an announcement of the prevalence of
the dreadful disease. By industriously using their
tongues, the neighborhood soon resounded with the aw
ful intelligence, and the news would have been more
widely disseminated, had not one more thouzlitful than
the rest, procured the paper, and read the paragraph
correctly. Albany Argus.
BosroN DRINKING Hoesas.—A correspondent of
the N. Y. Herald, speaking of the "drinking houses"
of Boston, and the very retired spots in which they are
located, says a dry stranger, in want of something, wet,
is compelled to engage a native pilot to get a private
drink.ln following one of the most celebrated, a few
days since, on an excursion of this nature, he says he
was led through several dark, dull, dreary, devious
bye-paths; and finally "turned into a snuff store, on pass
ing through which, he entered into one ofthe most qui
et out-of-the-way places in the world," where every
thing was elegance and luxury. Now, to our mind,
nothing more forcibly indicates the omnipotence of
public opinion, than these arrangements to do that se
cretly which is only an offence against the reforming
spirit of the age.

IXPORTANT DECISION. -It has been decreed in the
county court of Baltimore that in case of the failure of
an insurance company the stockholders are bound to
ply up the instalments on their stock, so as to make
each share fuU. The case heard was the U. S. Insur
ance company vs. Deer. - The company failed in 1834;
receivers were appointed in May of that year, and in
July following the call was made. The decision affects
many other similar cases.
nowt. LACING.-.4t hasiong been a matter of regret
with men of good sense and good taste, that many of
the females of this country injure their health and real
beauty of form; by the absurd practice of wearing tight

if indeed such blockheads merit that appellation. It
is a fact, that an exquisite fainted away on Friday, in
Bond street, and was assisted into a shop where be
was some time before he recovered. Medical aid was

VALUABLE REAL ESTATE.
THE undersigned will offer at PUBLIC SALE, or
Lease, on Saturday, the 181 h. of November next,
at
. 10 o'clock, A. M., that valuable property, on the
south sid - of the Monongahela river, opposite this city,
lately laid off in lets, embracing between 20 and 30
acres of ground.
This is well known to be the most advantageous to
caticn for manufacturing purposes in the vicinity of our
great mantifacturing city, having an extensive front on
the river, and extending back to Coal Hill, celebrated
for the quality of its coal over any other, and in which
immediate vicinity and extending back are inexhausti
ble mines; railways from which can be run directly in
to works on this property, as is new done in the neigh
borhood. There are also several strata of coal beneath
the surface on this property, which will be valuable in
time, by the use of shafts, one of which is ascertained
to be 12 to 15 feet in thickness.
A portion of the property being, elevated above the
proper level, and the clay being of the best quality for
brick making, can be used very advantageously in im
provements.,
Its advantageous location for Manufacturing and
Building, the Slack Water Navigation of the Mononga
hela, its being nearly opposite the mouth of the Penn
sylvania Canal, and affording every facility for the re
ception of materials by river, at all seasons when navi
gable at any other point in the vicinity of the city, its
proximity and connexion with which,as will be the case
by a bridge so soon it becomes occupied, altogether
render it in every point of view, one of the most desira
ble locations for investment and improvement.
Notwithstanding the number of extensive Works
which have been erected within the past few years;man
ufactures have never flourished more successfully than
at present, the yearly increasing extent of our city, the
iminebse emigration' to the West, and its unequalled
rapid settlement, which our city must ever, as it now
does, most advantageously supply with manufactures,
will yearly increase the demand, and great as is our
character as a manufacturing place, when we review
the great increase in number and extent of our mann
factures within the past few years, we mast consider it
in its infancy, as the great manufacturing and commer
cial point it is destined to become.
In addition to the manufacturing of Iron, Nails, Glass,
Engines and Machinery, Cotton Yarns, &c, which are
operated advantageously here, we require in this region
manufactories of Cotton Goods, as the immense quanti
ties of these articles yearly brought from the East for
this, and Western and Southern muskets evince, the
profits to the different bands generally through which
they pass between the manufacturer and the western
merchant, would satisfy a manufacturer; in addition
there is the carriage west to east of the materials, and
east to west of the manufactured articles, besides insur
ance, time, &c., offering every inducement to compan
ies of our own or Eastern Capitalists beyond competi
tion.
Applications have been made for a number of years
past for locations on this property for Manufacturing
and Building purpases, and it has been laid off into lots
containingnearly an acre on the river, for the former,
and 24 by 100 feet for the latter purpose, fronting on
50feet streets, and 20 feet alloys.
It will be sold inn body, (exclusive of u few lots) or
portions will be sold together: to suit the views of indi
viduals or companies wishing to pticcha,e, or• otherwise
separately in lots, Some lots may be exchanged fur
buildings =this property, or for a farm.
The terms will be made perfectly eaq, only a small
portion required down, and the remainder in a term of
years, payable annually or otherwise.
It 13 not desired to dispose of the property under the
late and still exising depression of real estate, except
for its fair value, but from the frequent applications for
Its Purchase, and the inducement s offered at present for
improvements, ei•ery article and expense connected
therewith being so low, it is considered the present
possess 4n for these purposes by persons or companies
of wealth, wouldbe ao advantageous so them, togethei
with the terms on which it is offered, that induces the
offer 9f sale at this time. NEVILLE B. CRAIG.
