THAUGHTS TOR rug PEOPLE.—ILTnier this caption
the Philadelphia Spirit of the Times of Monday has a
very able article commenting on the recent riots in that
city, and on the spirit which characterized them. We
cannot resist the desire to make an extract or two from
this article; it calls up reflections humiliating to every
American :
All was quiet in our city yesterday. It was a strange
thing, however. to see the Military promenading our
streets on the Sabbath, but still stranger to feel that
theie'presence was necessary to the maintenance of
the - publiciseacel Into all the churches, as the chiming
bells pealed out their solemn tones, poured crowd sifter
crowd of citizens to give thanks, perhaps to the Deity
fiir their safety. Into all the charches,we should have
said, ezeepting—the Roman Catholic. They stood
desolate, silent and untenanted. In obedience to the
orders of the Bishop they were not opened hit - public
worship. The solitary trend of the sentinel, or s the
clank of the musket, was the only sound that diaarbed
their solitary repose.
And this was a Sabbath picture of the "City of
Brotherly Love!" This was a picture of the "Qurer"
city! Cuu.d William Penn have risen from his brave

RISE U. S. BASIC STOCK.—The recent rise in

"The cause of the rise of U S Bank stock we have
heard ascribed to a speculative movement on the part
of some large capitalists La liewYerk, who areentieev
oring to procure &settlement with the foreign creditors
of the Bank, by inducing them to take the collateral.
which those creditors respectively bold in full of their
several claims. Should this arrangement be effecter".
the Bank, it is intimated, may have something left fur
thare-hOlders,and perhaps.as the wheel uf fart ue soma.

ness again. This, though rather improbable, in our
view, is nevertheless sufficiently plausible, in thenestock
gambling times, to induce the fortune hunter to ru t the
risk.

SANDWICH ISLANDS.
The New Orleans papsus cantainabe partiselars i f
the Treaty concluded between Great Britain and the
Sandwich Islands'on tier I2tb of Febrnat7 last. The
treaty stipulates that no government4ball be placed
upon more favorable terms than Great Britain. The
amount of the treaty now is that all nations are to be
placed on the same footing. An article as to spiritu
ous liquors may, perhaps, create some difficulties here
after.
Dear: DY BLIND RARTINCIII ---The death of,
Bartiroeus, the blind Preacher at Mani, is noticed.
He was long an active laborer with the Ameritilin Mis
sionaries The death of this extraordinary man oc
curred on the 17th of September. 1843. at Weiluku,
Maui. In that neighborhood. he had bean laboring
as a Preacher of the Gospel for several year* past,
with great acceptance to the people, and good success.
This good man, at the time the first Missionaries visit
' ed the islands, was a buffoon in the service of the
Queen. On the arrival of the first missionaries. he
accompanied the chiefs from Hawaii to Oahu, where
he heard for the first time the words of eternal life.
"The sound of salvation" at once caught his ear. His
attendance on the means of grace became constant.
Bartimeus was the first fruit of the gospel In the Sand
wich Islands, and was one of the three who were first
admitted to the privilege of the visible church, by bap
tism on the sea shore. He then hamar a preacher,
and continued so until his death.
NO LETTER YET!
Mr H. Clay, the Whig candidnte for the Presidency,
bas been arraigned before the House of Repreienta
tives for having written a letter to Mr Biala, in '25, for
the express purpose of carrying out a hernia ktal sa'e
between his friends and those of Mr John Q. 'Adams,
for the mutual preferment of the two principals—Mr
Clay first to make Mr Adams President, and Ikea Mr
Adams to make Mr Clay his Secretary of State. The
charge was publicly made by Col Boyd of Kentucky,
in the House of Representatives, on last Tuesday week,
when Col B. proposed to another Representative from
Kentucky, Ex-Speak.r Plagiarist White, to join him
in a lett,r to 11,Clay, calling upon him (H Clay) to
produce the letter to F P Blair, or to authorize, Mr 8.
to publish it. Mr White dodged the proposition and
thus plead guilty to the charge, But there stands the
charge on the recorded proceedings of the H of IL,
made in the presence of the Representatives of the
people—whilst H Clay WB3 at Washington. and in
the very act of entering the Hall, whilst Col Boyd
was making the charve-,-if some considerate friend
had not carried him oi to the Senate Chamber.
Mr C. knows the cirettetstavices, and has yet declin
ed to produce the letter, and lA, moat probably about
to leave Washington without authorizing its produc
tion. If he does so, every impartial man must pro
nounce upon him the sentence:-."Giriley nf the Coati

e government of fiolland has effected a loan of
127 000.000 of guilders, eqttal to about fifsy millions of
dollars. at 3 per eent. a bu.n capable of absorbiog the
floating national debt. This has been done by what
may be called the voluntary contributions of indhidu
ids. inasmuch as the rate of interest at which the loan
is ohlained is considerably- below the usual one. The
king has issued his proclamation congratulatiug the
nation on the event, which is indeed highly creditable
to the patriotism and h onesty of the people of Hol
land.
A letter dated Amsterdam, April 12th, with which
we have been kindly furnished, says:
" Knowing the great interest whic4 yon have taken
in every thing which concerns the fatherland of your
ancestors, I make free to hand yon enclosed the gene
! sal notice of my house, in which you will be pleased
torte° what has been done in my country to make good
the arrears canoed by the Belgian events, and to keep
up its fullcredit abroad and at home Might this ex
ample be followed by all such states (New York makes
a most honorable example) which desire to prtrve to
the world that "pledging the faith Lila state" is not a
mere sound. Tho rise in stocks shows the gnod itu
prevision this patriotic effort bas made."- 4 y. Y. Eve.
