The news brought by yesterdny's stage from Philadelphia, created the most intense excitement among our citizens that we ever wit missed. The bar gain and sale between the whips aml Church burners astonished and shocked honorable men of all parties. We could not conceive that the Philadelphia whips, oda, asennie . to be decent men, friends of order and - law, wou:tl combine with tit: incet.dituries and murder :er,i to degrade the chararier of our national Legisla by sending to its hall the principal fermenter of the •late fearful outrages in that city.'

At all times, the best weapons of the whig party are Ctxrup thin, falsehood, and base bargaining—but it seems that,taking the example of Clay when be bargained Jackson out of the Presidency in 1824, they reserve their best efforts in that line for gteat occasions, and they have used a capital one at the late election in l'biladelphirt. It will be seen that two of the Church-burners' candidates have been elected to Oen gress: that elks have been elected to the Assembly, Senate, &c.—and that Markle has a large majority. all in put silence of a bargain between the whigs and the "Natives." The wings throughout the country have had the hardihood to deny that- there was any union in sentiment or action between them and the "Natives." Let every man who needed proof of the foul and unholy amalgamation between those parties look at the result in Philadlphin. We know there are many men in the whig patty, who do not, and a ill not sup port the odious tenets of the Church burners of 'Phila. delphia—let them look for a moment at the triumph of the united force of the whigs and Natiyes, and 114 k illetnselvei bow they can vote for Ller.ry• Clay? Let them pause, if they do not wish the "alien and af-dit iun laws"of 1800 to be re-enuctod under the sway of fader al-ttative-w higgery.

THE COMPLETE LETTER WRITER'S BOW TO THE PUBLIC We are sorry to announce to our readers that the eminent personage wliiiwe letters on different sides of the same political ritiestion have been the entertain ment of the public for some months past, is to write no mote. Safi-tied with what he has done in this do [hutment, Mr Clay publishes his final epistle, which our readers will find in another part of the paper, ta king leave of the public as a letter writer.. This la'N ptoduetion, however, ns our readers will see, is an explanation of three others which he bus wanton ma the Texas question Theologians and metaphysicians, for centuries, have exerted their ingenuity to reconcile the doctrine of free will with the doctrine of necessity; but Mr Clay, in our judgment, has a more difficult task to reconcile his different letters on the annexation of Texas. Ills tiro letter was understood by everybody to be a decitLal ex pression of hostility to the scheme of annexution.— We, for our part, thought it nt the time a manly letter, explicitly stating his tvitiona, without, any apparent anxiety as to the consequences. The letter, litivrevir, was not sutisf,uctory to many aids friends at the South. To pacify them he wrote whin he calls his,first letter to Alabama, in which he assures theta' tonally, he 'had no objection to the annexation of Texas to the United States. This letter not being deemed explicit enough. It was thought politic to write another, going a step further. He therefore gave the public what he culls his second loiter to Alabama, in which he &ela ted that ho should be glad to see Texas to the U. S. ' Besides making this declaration, he.expressed his l i strong disapprobation of the course of those who upper sett the incorporation of Texas into our do ain on the ground that it would extend and prolong tto reign of slavery. The Alabama letters caused as much dissatisfaction at the North as the other letter did at the South.— Mr Clay feels the necessity of writing a fourth letter to explain and reconcile the three others; and accord iingly we have his epistle of the 30th Septj, which we -now publish. In this he reaffirms the pesitions of leis firittleuer, gives a plausible construction to what he has said concerning his entertaininig n'o personal chiection to the annexation of Texas, and his desire to see it take place; but somehow he forgrets explain away the teprimand bestowed by him on those who op pose the Itnnexntion as extending the sphere of slavery. We suggest, therefore. to Mr Clay the propriety of writing a fifth letter for the use of his friends here at the North, clearing up this omitted portion—a very short epistle, ten lines or so, by way of postscript to his last. It is true that he has taken a formal leave of the public as a writer of letters; but in dning this 1 he did net pledge himself to keep back what he forgot to say in his letter of leave-taking. A friend at our elbow informs us that ho once knew an eminent ac tor who, after he haul performed fur tho last time, and made his farewell speech, and retired behind the cur tain, canoe hack to add a few words by way of expla nation. Let the distinguished actor who personates different parts with such ingettui'y upon the stage of politics, follow his example, and we will insure him an attentive heating at least. It is with a sort of pity that we see this man entan gled in the net of his own words, and, after having en deavored first to satisfy one side, end then to satisfy the other, by wearying himself in awkward attempts to reconcile what he has said to the different parties. The best policy on all such occasions, is forcibly and clearly to declare one's opinions in their full extent, without attempting so tit modify their expression as to make them seem what they are not. The most successful and popular politician vie have had of bats years, has been the man who expreessed his political opinions with the most opent3ess and directness—An drew Jacksem. - All'attempts to talance between opposing views, when the individat is capable of forming a judgment for himself, partake of the nature of falsehood ; and when he is not, they arc but tokens of incapacity and imbecility. Of the latter, without entertaining any high repel for the reasoning powers of Mr Cloy, we cannot suspect him; but of insincerity, of trifling with his own solemn convictions, and of uttering irreconci lable opinions for the sake of popular effect, we hold. him, and the mass of his countrymen hold Itim,guilly.. In the consequences brought upon him by that indirect• policy, be is now painfully floundering; and this has probably led to his determination to keep silent for the future. • • gar On the 20th ult., a man in Fauquier county, Vs.. of the name of Bustle, wet his death in a mac. ner remarkable in some respects. He was employed to clean eat a well, and, being accustomed to such work, he prudently lowered a lighted candle into the well; the candle went out before itrcached the water. proving that the deadly gas 'misted in the well—he nest threw down a handful oi burning bay, to purify abe wall, as be snick, this wa.s also extinguislsed.

Six persons Killed, and sixteen °airs severely in jured. On the 14th of t'eptember, Hazel Grove, a village about nine miles distant from Mnnchester. Eng. was visited by a severe storm of thunder and lightning, accompanied with heavy ruin., A small brook running through th village overflowed its banks, and rushing into the yard, of the Wilmington Mill, put out the en gine fires and stopped the works. The bands at work in the lower rooms of the mill were extricated by ropes, and all hands left work and took refuge on high er ground. Some sought their homes and on their way they had to pt.ss over a bridge across the river where the water was already knee-deep. On the left of the road was a wall about two hundred yards long, and behind iya large reservoir. About thirty of the work people agreed to cross the bridge under prctec lion of this wall. They had pussed about half the dis tance when the banks of the reservoir gave way and the water fell against the wall, which immediately yield ded to the pressure, burying upward of twenty of the poor creatures under its ruins. As soon as practicable they were extricated; five of them were dead. Sixteen others wereseverely injured by fracture of limbs and dislocatious. The body of a sixth was found next morning. Others were swept dovin the stream, but without serious injury. The Sedition Lana.?—The following is from the Vermont Gazette, at Bennington, the old democratic press which the Whigs said had clime out 'against the democratic nominations, but which carries the flag of Polk and Dallas: "Forty-four yours ago, this day, our honored grand father, Anthony Haswell, editor of the Vermont Gaz ette, was *sated from ,jail. after baying been -confi ned for two months, and paying s2§2 33 fine and costs: under the sedition law.

Clarke, the Sun of that city has full files of Havana papers to the ‘2lst ult., inclusive, and Matnnsaa papers :.8 the 23d. Intel ligence has been receivt-d at Havana, from Spain, that the British Minister/It Madrid bad intimated the de sire of his Government for the recall of Certain Gen eral Don Leopold O'Donnell. This news created a general sensation throttebout the Island. and meetings were being, held to petition the Spanish Government to return Gee. O'Donnell. At these meetings resolu tions were adopted highly czanplimenrnry to the Cap tain General, declaring that, to his r.fficient and decis ive measures are the ittluthittints of Coln, indebted for their n-en-rvnt ion from a general Mil4sllCl4 . by the blacks. The British Government demnnd the recall of O'Don nell, in conserpmeco of his alleged participation in the African slave trade. The Orrice of Odd Fellow, ut Englond.—Some rurious statistical details, illustrative of the present state of this ext.:naive fraternity, acre laid before the Grand Metropolitan Lodge, at its lute anniversary meeting. It appears that un the Ist of April last, when the returns were mode up, that there were in England aml Wales, 3,340 lodges, and 34,1100 mem bers, showing on increase of 453 lodges afed 23.000 members, over the previous year's return. The sub-! act 'pi ions for this year amounted to 1352,383, the ex penditurea 1300.000, leaving n balance of £52,533 iti favor of the Association The total amount of property belonging to the order (including" pictures, flags, banners, lodge paraphernalin, officio!. apparel, end ira s insignia) was estimated at . £700,000 Amongst the enrolled members are 139 members of Parliament, 626 ministers of religion of various de nominations, and. 9.000 honorary in. , mh rs who make no claim upon the funds. If cuch member were to contribute only one-holf-ponny each, it. would amount to 134.126 a year. If they were to walk Iwo and two, one yard asunder, the t rocessiun would extend 92 miles and 380 yarda. If they wnlked ibree miles an hour, it would take thirty hours and fourteen min utes to pass any given spot-10.214 passing, every hour. The chief items of rxpenditure consist. ePthe charge for medical aid afforded to the sick itintitlvdi gent of the order. GOSSIP LECTURES Dr Lardner, having exhausted %clew e, or else find ing it unprofitable, has taken to delivering -lectures on light literature. These. lectures are composed princi pally of his recollection+ connected with well known literary men of Purls and London, the style of which may be inferred from the following notice cf them in the New York Republic: Speaking of the newspaper press in i c ondon, Dr. Lnrdner Prokuccasion, in explaining the wonderful organizatims and importance ..f the Times, to say a great deal with respect to Dickens. That writer, he observed, was originally a police reporter; and he was first drawn from obscurity by one of those ruminate chances which many clever men have often looked fur in vain. George Cruikshank had finished a series of sketekes for which some text was required by one of the London publishers who asked a friend if he knew any person that could w rite them. The friend an swered that he thought the police reporter of the Times was capable of doing them sufficiently well, as the text was but of secondary importance. The combin ed Alias of the caricatutist 'and the writer were pre sented to the world, and it need hardly be said that the drawings fur a time were ohseurcel by the brilliancy of the author, and the fame of Dickens was establish c•i. However, tip to the time of bis (Dr L's) dew tut e from England, Dickens had not overcome the pi e judices which existed amongst the elite against the oc cupation of a police reporter, Since that period how ever, he had been received' Into the coveted circles of the kart Sox. The lecturer here ieweduted . die audience to the table of the Countess a' Bleseington, observing that it was surrounded exclusively by men of talent aid genies. Sir Walter Scott, Chantey, Bulwer, Bla red", Dickens, Lord Brougham, &c - . were but few of the brilliant luminaries that sparkled round that hospitable board-. TheDocter gave some very amusing descrioiona.of the.personal peculiarities cf Bulwer, and D Israeli, the author of Coareingsby, observing the& those who have read the productions• of tbeformer, would natumlly conclude him to be very fascinating in private society. Such,, however, was not the case.. He had not a partiele'of conversational facility, and Gould not uuer twelve sentences free from hesitation and embarassment. In fact, Bulwer, was only Bulwer when his pen was in his hand and is meerschaum in his month. He is intimate with Count D'Oreay, one of the handsomest men of the day, and in his excessive admiration of that gentleman has adopted hie style of dress, which is adapted admi rably to the figure of the second Beau Brummell, but sits strangely on the feeble,rickety, and skeleton ferm of the man of genitnt. D'lsraeli he described as as affected coxcomb, with a restless desire to appear witiVt yet be never rememtw red him to have said a good thing in his life except one. and that was general ly repeated with the preface, 'Dlsraeli has said a guodthing at last." ' in this manner the Doctor touch ed on a variety of interesting subjects, many of which were illustrated by a aerie's of views recentlyiwrnteti from Europe.

D. B. MILLER. Washingioa Temperance House. Pittsburgh, Serii. 19, 1844.` Mr. R. DoNsvoN—Sirt—l have had in use for See months. one of Hathaway's Hut Air Cooking ,Stuvrs., and I have uo hesitation in saying it is the best stove now in use. The various kinds of cooking it is calcu— lated to do at the sa•re rime. and the small quantity of fuel tequirml. m ekes it an object worthy the %wen lion of all who desire. a good stove. _ W' 1 embrace this opporturi.y to tecommend the Hot Air Cooking Stoves; 1 have used the one you put up fur me constantly all summer, and I most say it is a grand article. I believe it is superior to any tidier stove now in use in this city. The oven hakes well, _ and is large enough to bake four largo knives of brcod at ono time; it also co very speedily, and it requires very little coal, I think them worthy the attention ur all who wish a good stove; to s uch I would say, try them and prove what they ate. • oct 114 MATHEW PATRICK. Improvement in the Manufacture of Iron.—The attention of the Loam:asters has been attracted to a .process of considerable imp°, lance lately introduced into their matinfuntore.
