PITTSBURGH, THURSDAY, NOVEMOVRii
Ernie Gazette is convoling its friends _ in their
adieroity with all suits of fhlse and silly otter. h
soya "theY•have been Lenten by "fraudulent and newly
" aattrralized 'rotes, given-by men incapable of judging
of the character of the principles and
" nature of the measures they opposed or supported."
nlitsiot thir impadent slander come appropriately
rime' ttarpen of tits editor of the Gazette? We shall
not stop•to vindicate the "capability" of those of our
adopted citizens who voted for Col. Polk. But we
venture to say that not one of them would have the
hardihood to proclaim that CLAY "throttled the Tat
er," end thenr'vote for CLAY, 'under pretense of aiding
the Tariff. WO do not believe that a single man among
them could everbe
s brought to.vote for a cat.didate
•eitatat he had denounced as a "debauclace," a "duel.
in," and ••immoral or profane." Nor do we believe
that "fl eon" or fifteen keiredred of the tno4 respec
t/4de whip Mille country could induce one of -them to
vote for CLAY, if lie had denounced bins as the Gazette
- 3 / 4 addone. • •
.....13ut if the assnmption of the Gazette be true, how
fires it come that wherever them is a large foreign vote,
hers is also a large whig vote, and ahnost always a
large whig majority. In Philadelphia city and
gbeny county for instance, where there is a large
naturalized vote, the Whigs have tremendously large
esojetities. While in Berke, Northampton. Monroe,
&o. &e., where there are vety, few naturalized citi
zen., the Democrats have obtained majorities suffici
ent to give them their glorious . victory. In the State
of Now York, too, the 1121/3X' fact is obiervuble. The
naturalised citizens ere ginerally found in the cities
'and villages—sad the Democrats have obtained ma
jorities in but two cities in the State—New York and
Buffalo—whilethe whip' ba,e carried Rochester,
ca; Albany7Troy, and nearly all the other cetatiderable
tovros. The Democratic sttength in New York, as in
7 enalsYtvanil, is shown by the returns Kobe in 1116 ru
ral districts,' where there are but few that are not
Natives of this country. .Yet the le nest, truth-loving
"Datzettoendeavors to pander to disgraceful prejudice, ,
by asserting that the 'newly natundizi d" have car-
lied this electi,m, The following paragraph from the
aural° Courier, sans the Ciaztte'r, cute admirably
well:
"The truth is that this false and disgraceful pretext
which the whip put forward, is only an insidious and
(tanning device to make it appear as if they were tie
hated on some other ground than the anti-American
charades of their principles, which was the true cause;
•nnatet excuse the open adoption by them of the old
&dent principles which they have hung in secret cher ,
abed; which their open coalition with the Native A
nomie:an party has compelled them to M4lllllllO the re
apistaibility of; and which they have now apparently
restated to put prominently 14a-ward under the mista
ken idea that they can induce the American people to
jointhern in a politico-religious crusade, ma n z n agy a
gainst a class ofinhabitants, but in reality againSt the
pillars and buttresses of the temple of Iteedum."
. Too LATE.—Yesterday morning we realized the
provoking predicament of that ancient and venerable
qtfrican, "Ord Dan Tacker," who, as the song says,
."came too bite to get his supper." We intended to
comply with a polite invitation of the Managers of
the Monongahela Navigation Company, to celebrate
"with them the completion of their work. A boat was
a° leeve this city for Brownsville yesterday morning
'with a number of the celebrators ; we thought the
'bouritif departure was . ten o'clock, and n.ade our ar
iangementsaci.ortlingly—but when we got to the wharf
we found we were just an hour too tote, as the boat
started at 9o'clock.—The completion of this useful
otreprovement is certainly a matter of sincere gtatula
• tion with every one who has the interests of Pittsbm
a heart, and we cannot doubt but that those .who
-were fortunate enough to reach the steamboat in time,
-"will have a pleasant hip of it. They' have 'abundant
-Amuse for rejoicing in the completion of the work
-alone,
-alone, which will be heightened no doubt by excellent
/(tear and the best Of company. We trust they may
tee well compensated for being in time—and hereafter,
we will endeavor not to be "too !att." •
rg"lhe Gazette says Js.!. K. POLK is the "erre
'tura of J. d Ca/hosm, Texas and Free Trade."—
That is very severe, certainly, and very irpliortane--
if trite. But then, the Gazette said nearly the same
thing GC Clay.
The editor of the Gazette, who published a
-ilaoderoos article against Col. Pot.x, winch he pre.
tended to copy from "Koorbadc's Toter," has. the
'impudence to talk of the "Hornbeck forgery" having
. been committed by an "enemy of the Whig patsy."
-Biafora the editor wrote a syllable about "Roorback,"
he ought to apologize for the scandalous forgery which
appeared in the Gazette, whib he said was copied
from "Koorback."

most wealthy cirizens-ef our State, were jawing the

When the Emperor was in England, a report ob
taiued currency, through the agency of a corrupt and
bribed press, that the "removal of the Jews' from
Russia wits suspended. Ou this point we will Testy
the words of the National, a French joutnal:—'The
Autocrat has decreed the transpurtati ill in a body of
150,000 Jews. jic has conceived this plan—he has
announced it- 7 -and his sentence of death must be exe
cuted. Neither supplication nor the interest of his
subjecu will be able to suspend his infamous cora
mand. The will of one man disposes of the lives and
fortunes of 150,000 of his fellow-creatures. You
intagiue. perhaps. that the crime of those unhappy
persons must, indeed, be great to merit so terrible a
chastisement:--that they have organised some vast
conspiracy against the security of the empire, or per
haps that they had attempted to resuscitate Poland,
which is expiring in a lingering agony, or that they
bad expressed a wish for emancipation even at a ra
matte period. Undeceive yourselves,--the iron yoke
which presses on their country don not suffer them
to entertain
. such a noble ambition. Their only fault
is, that some of them ate addicted to smuggling, end
the fa-alt of the few is to be visited on thousands of
their fellow-eititens. At the moment we are writing
these tines the sentence is being:executed, the spolia
tion and ruin of those unfintunate men are etwesumma

to sell their peopenies at considerably leis than their'
value, they are compelled to seek an existence in the
silent deserts of the interior of Russia, where they
will dispute the possession of those immense wastes
with thin birds and beasts of prey, which are their sole
population. Tliere they will find their tomb, and in
presence of this calamity the author of such atrocity
relies upon the silence of all Europe!
MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR
By a letter received from a gentleman residing in
Luray, Page county, Virginia, we arc informed that
on the 20th of October, aparty were exploring a lime
stone cavern, known in that neighborhood as McCoy's
Cale, when one of the gentlemen observing that the
floor of a small apartment which they were in, sounded
as though there was a cavity beneath, be searched care
fully f , r an aperture, and at length found a large sta.
teethe that had evidently fallen from above; he had it
removed with the assistance of his friends and saw an
opening about thirty inches in diameter. They attach
ed a lamp to a number of handkerchiefs tied to each
other. anti lowen•d it as for as they would rench--and
saw that the b..ttotn was no more than ten or eleven
feet below them. The light was so dim that nothing
could be distinguished—h o w n er, they immediately
lowered a small ladder that had been brought for the
purpose of exploration; and of the gentlemen descen
ded; he stepped Num an object that was unlike the
rocks in other parts of the rave, and upon bolting at it,
discovered to his horror, that it was the body °roman!
The face, hands and legs below the knee (the rest of
the body being clothed) bad much the appearance of
an Egyptian Mummy, being dried, and shrunken to the
bones.
It was dressed u ith a pair of bucksin short breeches,
fattened at the knees with four buttons; stocking that
seemed to have been made of yarn, but only a small
portion remained. ,The coat was of blue cloth. en
tire, but so rotten that it came to pieces when slightly
pulled; vest of a lighter color cloth, and steel or iron
buttnns.
There was no hat seen, an.l the hair, which was a
dark brown, was slightly gray. The buttons of the
coat were of bruise, and cot roded to a dark green col
or. In Lis hand was clutched a chain, with a watch
attached, and a bread, flat gold key with a steel
barrel.
In his pocket were several pieces of silver coin—
three Spanish pistareens, and a smaller one, besides
two trunk keys,, with a ring to fasten them together.—
Many specnlations were made as to the probable time
of his death; all coincided that he had fallen through
the opening at some period long before, where, unable
to get out, he had perished. •
The body was decently _interred in the burying
ground attucbed toil* Presbyterian church Luray.—
No one now living can recollect having heard of any
person being missed. From the charactera the dress
it is evident that he belonged to the past generation,
and a mystery must (*.never involve the °fair, to be
used as a subject fur the future novelist, or futile
speculation.
A I eft-Handed Compliatext.—.The Leicester
(Eng,) Chronicle relates an anecdote connected with
the too common practice of complimentary toasts,
which is well worth. the smile which its record produ
ces. It seems that in the-list of toasts to be proposed
at a recent dinner in a town in Nottinghamshire, was
the "health of a certain country gentleman, •with
thanks for his attendance." Some circtanstarces in
tervened to prevent the worthy squire dining with his
tenants and neighbor", and of course, the toast requi
red a slight alteration. The person into *hose hands
the toast was given thought it would not do to pro.
pose it 'Without some thanks, and considering that so
powerful', neighbor should he thanked fur almost ev
ery thin; he 'did, proposed, "'The health of Esq.,
sad thanks for his non-attendance."
This anecdote reminds us of another singularly
bungling compliment which occurred not long since
in this city, when an English lecturer on •Elocutiox,"
deliverad his last discourse before quitting our shores
for his native land. In his concluding remarks, he
thought it necessary to make his acknowledgments for
the consideration sad patronage extended towards hint,
hut in doing so, he stated, that he had accomplished
an early desire in lecturing before n Boston audience,
and this being done he should leave them wills plea.

exclaimed, "Well, I'm suit! What are yotr sta.
Lring at?"
We now turn our attention to Windsor Castle,
whete Iler Majesty and suite were in a state of con
stant bustle. looking not of the windows, running up
and down the stairs, straining their eyes over the
Long Walk. and pray-tieing pretty little speeches to do
honor to Limit Philippe on his arrival. Her Ma•
jetty was in. the highest spirits, and jokingly told Sir
Rtibert peel she hoped that he and Mons, Guizot
would not get talking politics together and perhaps
proceeding to high words, for the was determined that
if she heard anything of the sort, Sir Robert Peel must
not stop nee moment at the Castle. Sir Robert Peel
promised to be on his best behavior; and with the
words, "not a syllable about Tahiti," Her Majesty
bounded up the great staircase to have another look
one of the top window for her fllestriona visitor.
At length the cavalcade hove in sight, and the
Queen, who was the first to catch a glimpse of it, pul
led every bell-rope that she went by, on her way to
the grand vestibule. This presence of mind on the
Queen had set the entintfrousebold agog, and they all
came running towards the foot of the grand staircase,
so that a grand tableau was got up in a nsornent, and
Louis Philippe Ind an (ippon ueity of seeing the "whole
strength of the company" drawn up to greet him on his
arrival.
When the King really dowel up, her Majesty could
not restrain herself fruni rushing cent to the dour of the
royal carriage, and the affectionate words, "Pray go
' in. you'll catch cold," were the first that were uttered
by Louis Philippe, on seeing his hostess without a
bonnef—not even a crown--standing in a thorough
draft, to welcome him. Prince Albert could not refrain
front adding, "I think you're imprudent, my dear:"
but there weir an time lot parley or remonstance, and
in and in a few seconds they were all in the vestibule
kissing each other in ail directions. The Duchess of
Kent affectionntely clutched in her arms the Duc the
Montpensiet; and after Louis Philippe and the Queen
had had a good hog. the King of the French gallantly
kissed the Duchess of Kent.
At length they all started up stairs, and ,he King of
the French was shown to his room, with a merest that
be wouid ring for anything be wanted. Dinner wound
up the proceedings of died*); and on Wielnetday the
King ran about the slopes with all the 'easily of a
stripling, and the rest of the day was passed in lark
ing about the Castle.
Thor-day was fixed for trying the eh ar-u-bare
which proved a dead failure. It jolted awfully, and
the number of seats in it prevented that swig gossip
with her illustrious visitor, upon which her Majesty had
calculated. it is a sort of "Hampton Court Plensure
Van," with the seats placed crossways instead of long
ways, and Louis Philippe saying, "Ali! I see you dont
like it," playfully threatened to take it away again:—
Wit is used again, it will only be inconsequence of tie
banter; and in ender to persuade the King of the French
that her Majesty is nut displeased with his present.
Friday had been the day fixed for investing Louis

a pair of knee breeches, took particular care of, his left

Whither was in a state geomtnotion during the
whole day, the Castle being Wally besieged, and ev
ery one whocame out in regimentals or livery being
eagerly followed by the multitude. To cause a diver
sion, a few beefeaters were turned out into the quad-
rangle, to allay the appetite of the sight-seers. The
beefeaters were eagerly set upon, and seemed in dan
ger of being swampedby the curiosity of the people,
when a lot of Gentlemen-at-Arms were thrust out at
a aide duor„and art populace were thus drawn off front
be unfortunate beefeaters, who escaped into their lodg
ing fastnesses. The Gentlemen.at-Arms, being proud
or their regimentals, rather liked bring pursued; but ul
timately the public got tired out, particularly when it
was dircovered that the Gentlemen-at-Arms were only
dressed up to lank like deputy-lieutenants, but being in
fart, a lot of nobodies.
. In a short time a glass of wine on a waiter was seen
to issue from one of the side-duovs, carried by a servant
in the royal livery, and an immense rush was made
towards the place to which it was being taken; but
the servant having entered another door, the wine did
not allay the thirst of the populace for information.
At last the carriage was seen to draw up at the prin
cipal entrance, but nobody get near enough to see who
got into them, and nobody could guess which way the
carriages would take; on that, when they limited, the
populace ran to all points of the compass, with a sin
gular difference of opinion as to which any would be
the right one for lighting on the royal cortege. Even
tually the carriages passed out where no one was ex.
patting to see them, and a lot of royally, which had
rushed suddenly away from the railings where nothing
was to be seen, turned desperately round I corner,
screaming (whilst sevtral- hundred yards fawn the

and the immense distance, rendered utterly inaudible
to its objects.
While we %tens returning. puffing, blowing, cough
ing, and wheezing, from our fruitless heltee-skelter into
the Long Walk, we met two gentlemen with umbarel

other a black long coat, and both were engaged in
quiet conversation ; the, gentleman in the black coat
making a walking stick of his gmbarella, the individual
in blue holding biz parapha under his left arm, sad

practiced eye caught the familiar countenance of Sir
Robert 'Peel, and we recognized in his companion no
other than - Guizot. They turned off from the Long
Walk towards the left, and tbeircourse was checked
for a moment by a stile, when Sir Robert leading the
way, and Guizot following close after, they both step
ped over it; and it occurred to us that the ramble in

the course of which they had easily and pleasantly
passed over the same stile, would do more towards
enabling them to get over the Tabiti and caber ques

DARING ROBBERY OF :IV (Hai
U. STATES MARSHAL.
On Friday night last, the office of the United Stares
Marshal, on the second sruey of the centre building
of the State House; was burglariously entered, and rho
fireproof broken open and robbed of 8241 ht notes
and specie, belonging to the Governtnent, and tare
coins and • valuable brooch, the property of Gen.
Keim, the Marshal. The burglars, it is supposed,
concealed themselves in the State H (MAE in ti.e early
pact of the night, and after perpetrating the robbery,
made their -exit though the back door of the main
passage, which has a wood fastening on the inside.
The door of the vestibule, leading to the Marshal's
office, had been carelessly left open by the boy >who
attends to the roam, and the burglars thus gaining ac
cess to the inside door, unlocked it, either with false
keys, or with the keys of the does, which had been
put by the boy in a box where they were usually
kept. The door keys were found in the box precise
ly as they had been left, but the thieves may have used
them and returned them to their ['lnce. The 'rapier.
meats with which the fire proof was forced open were
a heavy crow bar, a wedge and a brace and bit. These
the burglars left in the office. Immediately after the
discovery of the robbery on Saturday morning, infor
mation was lodged with the Mayor and Recorder.—
In the coarse of the morning, suspicion falling upon
a man Ed weld Jared Megonegal, who had been
permitted to sleep in the loft of the steeple, by the
superintendent, he was, at the instance of the Re
corder, arrested.
Megonegal gave such information as led to the ar
rest, on Saturday Pet :dug, of a sell known young bur
glar, named John Fagan, on whose person was found
$2OO of the stolen m mey and the brooch. Fagan, on
being brought before the Recorder, confessed the bur
glary, and implicated Megonegal, shorn he charges
with planning the rubbery, and persuading hint into it.
The missing coins he denied knowing anything about.
He and Megonegal wereboth (=limited by the Record
er to answer.
Fagan was eomicted shout four years ago, in the
late Court of General Sessions, with an accomplice
named Brooks. of several daring burglaries, and was
sentenced to the Cherry Hill pi:4°n for thtee years,
which time he served out. Ho was one of the persons
wounded on the Native American side, during the
Kensington riots. and when he recovered at the Penn
sylvania Hospital, excited the sympathy of some of
' the Nativeists who wore not aware of his real charac
ter; they provided him with a home, and fur some
time past had been educating him for a counting house.
Telling the police that his intentions were reformation,
they thought him sincere and did not expose him.—
When taken into custody ut his boarding house, be
was dressed in a new suit of cicr hes and a midship
man's cap, which lie had purchased with a portion
of Uncle Sam's cash, and to show the unparalleled
impudence of the young scoundrel, his new ruffled
shirt was bedecked with Gen. Keim's rich pin.
Magoriegal is a lame man who kept a stand in
front of the State House, fur the sale of type fur mark
ing linen, &e.
It seems that the thieves ascertained that mnney
was kept in the fireproof in the MarAhal's office,
through the boy who attended the• room, and who
did not suspect their iutentions.
The prompt arrest of the burglars and ',emery of
the rroperty, was effected entirely by the vigilance and
nice police tact of the Recorder, aided by the active
and indefatigable ettertionaof one of hie officers, Mt
Maginnis, who was in pursuit of Fagan nearly the
whole of Saturday. lir Magiaais will be remembered
113 the late efficient constable - of the scrota ward,
Southwark.
Fagan, since his committal, has told some queer
storinsabout colonizing voters for Gen. Markle in the

RETORT, -
That . on the 2d of August, the time hnving expired
when proposals agreeably to the advertisement should
b e receiv e d, the committee met and found thete had
been offered about thirty-six sites, which might be
considered under the resolution of councils. From
t h ese t h ey sel ec t e d those that seemed most likely from
their.description and location to answer the p u rpose.
These selectiens t were made in different directions, and
during August and September were all visited; within_
which time, and since, a eneiber cir—oth;,r farms hnce
bees offered whiarbove teoeived duo enosidersoion.
After bating viewed the selections made, the com
mittee became perfectly satisfied that a farm for this
purpose should not be located very neat a village,
that it should be on As good road, simuld have coal, ,
good water. &c.
The prices asked for nntny of these farms was con-1
sidered high. but florins our visits and negotiations
they were offered much ' below what was first asked,
and your committee are of opinion that nothing has
been lost by taking more time than might havoseetned
necessary in making the selection.
Some of those who offered to sell their farms; did
so, under the impression, that councils would author
ize the issue.of bonds in payment. and when idiom
ed that this was -not the case, that councils hail no
such power, that tho law confined the purchase and
payment to the Overseers of the Poor, on whose re
sources. consisting of the proceeds of. sale of the
property in Allegheny city, and the anthorized taxes,
they would have to rely for riyment, they declined
the sale. Others required payments which the Over
seers said was impossible to Make. These circum
stances threw m a ny entirely out of considerations and
those on the Allegheny river, although very desirable
farms, cannot be approached by a gond road; and al
though the river and canalinight seem to offer means
Of easy access, still, when it is considered that frum
the 15th of the present month (November) until
March, the navigation of the canal is closed. and that
of the river very uncertair4end that this would be the
time when most poisons would hare to be sent out,
therefore such selections would not suit.
The committee, atter taking all chines into consider
ation, have, with the approval of the Overseers of the
Poor, unanimously agreed to recommend to cottrarils
the films offered by John F. Wrenshall and Wm,
Ebbs as agent for Miss towan.
The fotruer vmsists of 189 acres 1 R 36 P (stritu.)
the old flintily Mansion of Woodville farm, with the
out houses, three tenements. mill house, distillery,
burn, stable, a good orchard, &c., the price of which
is fourteen thousand dollnre.
The mill hens., distillery and' other buildings tea
-1 joining, with the tbire tenement houses on this and
one on the other farm might be made with an expen
diture of not exceeding fifteen hundred dollars to ans
wer the purpose fur some years, perhaps with the-pur
, chase twine, is paid.
The Inner &Insists of 206 acres more or less, with
a entail tenement lieu.° and barn. an orchard, &c.,
. the price of which is.teu *amend dudars, both fiirms
have an abundance of coal and lime scene, awl are suf
ficient, well watered. Taken together the committee
are of opinion that they are the mast eligible offered,'
and that there is no tither superior io the couutry furl
the purpose. The persons offering them are willing
to take such payme n ts and securities as the Overseers
can give. The committee uvula therefore recommend
to Counciisle adopt the following:
Resolved, That the Select and Common Cuuncild,
I do hereby advise the guardians of the poor of the city
of Pittsburgh with , thisq standing committee on city
farm, to purchase of John F ‘Vrenshall and wife and
' Was Ebbs as agent of A I. Cowan, the respective
farmioffercd by them to the Overseers of the Poor.
In reference to the ten acres in Allegheny city occu
pied by the present poor house, the committee are of
opinion that it may be subdivided into,from 120 to 140
building lots of the usual size, and it is pmbeble they
would salt on time for an amount at least equal to
the purchase money of the farms, they would therefot e
eel:milt the following: • •
Resolved, Thut the guardian* of the poor, with
thestanding committe ofCouncils, be required to sub
mit to Councils for their appreval a sulxiivisdrin of the
ten acres in Allegheny city, so that if approved, Coun
cils,may consent to the sale thereof egreeubly to act of
assembly.
