From the impudent tone of the American, we infer shat it has the promise of help from some influential *quarter, that is opposed to Mr Bigham's advancement. But leis yet to he-seen whether the squatters and iTurrineri n will succeed in breaking Mr B. down.

' @vent Dtscosstos.—Tkei editors of-the New York - Mirror have a dispute on hand with one of their cor irespondents who signs himself "A very plain man," as to who it is that suportstbe "upper crest" houses •of ill-fame in New York. This plain man maintains -that they are kept np by ore r ry rich men, who, he -says, are‘the most. vicious. He also proves that they are not frequented nor - supported by the poorer or -middling class. The Mirror very adroitly draws the principal odium of encouraging the vice complained of "from both classes of New Yorkers, and throws it upon "strangers in-town," who are kept antler "exemplary -restraint, under the Argus eyes of small tawns and vil lages." The Mirroutells of "a -country gentleman" who complained that the - very "announcPment of a -visit to New York was enough to lower every eyebrow -upon a man in the village where he lived." The statements and arguments of the Mirror would be very much sought after by the village gossips of the interior of the Empire State. CrThere are agreat many good things in the Correspondence of the N Y Mirror. Here isa pleas ant paragraph. It is a question whether the post script adds to its interest, or detracts therefrom:- 4 , lleturning last spring from London to New York, as we neared the Banks of Newfoundland, the deep sea lend, with the hollow of its lower end filled with clean valloW, was hove at regular intervals. At length it struck bottom with ninety fathoms (548 feet) of line out. The passengers gathered round to see what sort of ground would be brought up by it, and when it was hauled up, they saw sticking to the tallow, among • - the gravel and shells, an Englishforapeway bit of the • coinage Of 'William xikte Fourth! The lucky sailor -who had hove the lead and drawn up the four-pence -from that great depth, soon surrenderedhis bit of sil ver to one of the passengers in exchange for a dollars The relic might have come from some ship which bad there gone down, or might have been dropped -overboard by some emigrant in moot' the thousand --vessels which yearly pass over that ocean highway. G. P. S. On reading overwhat have written, I find ..that I forgot to state that though there was no doubt -of the silver four-pence having been broughtup on the lead from the Lot ttorn of the sea, yet that fact is ren -dered less remarkable by the subsequent confession of *h' sailor that had silly attached the piece liCk the lead • ,before it trent awn." Ma BUCHLNLI4.—This gentleman, while en his -Way from Lancaster to Washington city, was greeted -with the warmest expressions of estee.n at all the •towns on his rout. But few public men in the coun try possess 50 large a share of the confidence of the people as Mr Buenas As. In his •own state, not - even his political opponents, can refrain from doing : him honor and admitting his honest devotion to site welfare of the people. There is no statesman in the country who is more sincerely esteemed by f his consti tuents, nor who is more admits! by true republicans of every shade of political opinion. COL. BENTON RE-ELECTICD. -- It will be gratifying to all who love to seeralenti, energy, and faithfulness na the cline of Democracy rewarded, to learn that the Ron Tnos. H. Bitterns has been re-elected to the Senate. A portion of the Democrats forma an un holy alliance with the Whigs last summer, with the view of electing legislators hostile to Col. 8., and thus compass his defeat. The result of this election is a signal and shameful defeat of this most shameful -coalition. The Hon. D R Atchison was also elected to fill the -eacancy caused ig the death of the Hon L F Linn.

Polk to the Presidency, settles all trope of assumption of the debts of the Statesby the federal government. We say trope, because we do not believe, in any event of the late election, that these debts would have been assumed. The citizens of Pennsylvania will never, in any way, submit to pay the debts of the citizens of Illinois, whose per capita liabilities art more than twice as great as their own. Nor will the citizens of New York ever consent v. pny the debts of the citizens of Penn sylvania. being, as they are, nearly double their own. The constitutien,in the first place, absolutely forbids any Inch provision, and. Congress anti the Executive could not, if they would, arrogatele 'themselves the' power. The evil nature of such a precedent would of itself preclude the idea. Whets would such a thing stop ? What inducement would be held out to future improvident legislation ? But independent of any ob jection arising from constitutional law orabstract prin ciple, the solvent States will never consent to pay the debts of the insolvent ones. simply because there is no reason why they should. They are, in this respect, wholly independent in reputation as they are in legis lation; and in the eyes Of persons who will take the trouble to inquire, the citizens of New Jersey or New Hampshire can never bear the hi/retool the insolvency of the State of Illinois, or of Pennsylvania. The debt of each particular State. then, rests on the faith and honor of each particular State. And, in the name and honor of faith, is not this enough I Whencenrises any doubts as to these debts being ultimately paid 1— The case of Mississippi is altogether peculiar. In that State the Constitution contains a provision—would ' that it were inverted in every State constitution—that the people shall not be bound by any act of the legis. lature pledging the faith of the State, unless such act shall be submitted to, and passed upon, by the people themselves in their primary capacity. The act in ques tion creating the Mississippi debt was passed by the legislature only, end not submitted to the people.— Mote accurately stated, the matter stands thus :—the people ratified the issue of fifteen millions of these bonds to stand security for the liabilities of the bank, in case the capital should be subscribed by third par ties. The legislature directed the bond, to be sold, without waiting for the subscription of the capital, the proceeds paid into the bank; and the people thus became principal stockholders in the institution, instead of security for a capital subscribed by private persons. If this statement of the case is correct (and we believe it is) how can a question arise ? How can the peep's be bound when they have expressly declared they will not be bound. They have published their power of attorney (their constitution) to the world. Their agents have acted inthe teeth of it, and yet it is pre tended they are holden. This certainly is neither law nor equity. it never can be asserted that foreigners are not to be held to a knowledge of oar State tonsil tutions. "Ignorance of the law excuseth no man," is a maxim to which all should be held. The constitp tion is the declaration of the fundamental will adrMe people, and all persons dealing with the people must be supposed to be conversant with its provisions.— Hard as it may fall on the creditor, the provision in question is far too important to be slighted with impu nity. Were the sum ever so trifling, the people should not permit the precedent of a fundamental clause in their constitution being treated as if it did not exist at aIL If any legal doubt exists, as to the liability of the State. or the constitutionality of the act, the question should be submitted, ex graaa t to the Supreme Court of the United States, and, the State should abide their decision. But in Pennsylvania, and we believe in every other State, this answer cannot be made. They havecreated their liabilities through their legally au th.grizmi agents; they have received the money end they must pay it. It is said, in some cases, that the bonds of certificates have been sold under par, contra ' ry to the prevision of acts by which they were author ized. This can offer DO legal or moral reason for not paying what the States have actually received—nay, more, all that they have promised, if it be that they have promised more than reached the treasury. The question lies in a nut shell. The States have re ceived large sums of money and promisedto pay them —it does not belong to them, and their promises are extant—let them pay it where it does belong, and fnaintain their faith and honor. We have another panic in the stock market, and prices of "fancies" within the last two days have sim ultaneously, here and atNew York, fallen off from 1. to .5 per cent. These fluctuations are becoming to be pretty well understood. The real substantial holders base learned from dear-bought experience, that it is better to wait until they see the alleged causes which are to affect prices, than to anticipate the effect by acting upon -some interested individual's wish. The market is rarely free from those who, either wish to raise or depress prices; and in.* latter operation nothing is more effectual than some bugaboo story, leaving the impression that prices are soon to be low , er, and a large show of sales, the stiajority of which are probably adjusted without the passage of a single dollar between the parties. "You're a queer chicken," as the hen said wheat she hatched out a duck. Borros, 22(1 Nov., 1844 New Cowliiirfeit.—An extract from the slime of Thomson's Bank Nu Reporter, says that counterfeit $3 note' of the Northampton (Mass) Bank, exceeding ly well executed, are in circulation. The Reporter remarks— iTuriee Officer Bowyer has just shown us $lOO of these notes, and says that he conk' hate' sold diem at any office in Wall street, the brokers all pronounc ing they gerwine. "We learn that some have been pat in circulation in the upperpert of the city. Tbey are as sear like the genuine as possible—The engraving being the genuine work of the New England Bank Note Company--prob ably for some broken Bask. "The officer's names ireof a similar cast of Wri ting, and there is somethiug slightly suspicions about 'Nortkamptese and Wassacktoselts.' " They Tried to Escape.—Speaking of the "Mier prisoners"--the Tesan captives recently liberated stt Perote, the Galveston News says, a portion of them were endeavoring so effect their escape from the castle when their release was made known to them. They wept confined in four separate moms, twenty-Sia in ealtli; in one of the rooms they suceeded in cutting hole.throogh the wall sufficient for a men to get out and replace the rock, so es to leave no possible chance of detection. This had been done for *eventl days, and they were daily secreting provisions for their flight, when Gov. Shannon visited the prison. Their object was made known to the Minister, who requested them to desist until his arrival at tile capital, as it was his intention to make an effort to have them liberated.— The result of his inflimrce in the cause of humanity was made manifest bjelheir immediate release, which no doubt prevented the 'lose of several lives and the endurance of many hardships and difficulties, they would have had to encounter before effecting their es cape from the country.

L. E. L. Virginia Legislature—Political ftsforntalion.— We take the following from the Norfolk Beacon of Thursday : "The Legislature of Viiginia meets on Monday.— The election of a Senator of the United States fur 41c years from the 4th of March, 1835, will devolve upon the General Assembly. There is said to be a tie on joint ballot, owing to the change of position of Mr. Bowden, of Williamsburg, since the last session of the 'Legislature. James City, York and ‘Villiamsburgh, the election district, each gave a whig majority at the Presidential election. One of the delegates from Mecklenbug is a whig,, but pledged, it is said, to vote for Senator as the county went at the Presidential election. It gayest majority of 349 for Polk. "The seats of the members from Bath and Pendle ton were contested by their whig competitors last spring. The majority of the returned member from Bath was one, and of Mr Hiner from Pendleton, two. A crirtespondent of the Richmond Enquirer, writing from Franklin in the last named county, on the 7th of November, save the contest for a seat in the nest Leg!, islature from this county is withdrawn by the whig contestant." A Boy Strangled.—A correspondent of the Mobile Advertiser, under alio of the Ilth inst., from Claiborne, (Ala.) gives the details of the death of a lad named H. C. Steele, under these circumstances:— ' He was in the daily habit of amusing himself by swinging himself on a rope suspended from the limb of a tree near the dwelling of his parents. The day on which he came to his death heistg rainy, he went to an outhouse by himself, with the evident intention of indulging in his favorite amusement. Notbaving rope enough to form a loop of sufficient size to ►dmit his body, ho untwisted the lower end, tying a knot in the same, after fastening the other to a joist above, and eras .probably attempting to balance himself in the opening throughtbe suandsot the line, when the staging (an oii trunk placed on end) he had erected to get within its reach gave way, leaving him suspended by the neck, and thin strangled to death befoto assistance could reach him or even before he was discovered He was eleven years and four months old—was the youngest child of Stephen and Elizabeth Steele."

He will be, terribly afflicted, in the language of astrol ogy, by the troops of office-seekers, and expectant., some of whom have already started one pilgrimage to Tennessee, net having the patience to wait till Mr l'olk shall arrive at Washington.— It is fortunate for this gentlemen that he possesses sufficient closeness to keep his own counsel, and enough firmness to follow his own judgement, otherwise he would fall, like General Harrison, a victim to the incessant annoyances of office Beggars. The only chance for peace left him would be to decamp immediately, take a journey to Texas, travel incog, do anything by which he would escape the appeals, solicitations and importunities of this hun gry hoarde. The individuals who have taken so early an opportunity to annoy him wilt probably come back as wise es they went, having the expenses of their journey for their pains. A felltiw of this kind, before the election, - visited Col Polk, in Ten nesee, and endeav ored to extort a premise, is case of the success of the Democratic party, that he should be continued in office. After talking for an hour, the anxious man, " Well Col onel, what do you say to this?" "Why," replied Mr Polk, "when you talk it is a great pleasure to listen.' Spooling.—There resides in Frent street a gentte matrwho, in Castle Garden, fired a rifle at sixty yards distance into a centre, and in a successive shot another ball on the other, so as to fasten them together. The same person. at the Thatched Cottage, Jersey city, made a trifling wager of 16 to 1, that he would with a duelling pistol shoot into the size of a dollar at 15 yards distance. He hit the exact centre, drove the nail, and bad a sixpenny piece placed on the cen tre, and its edge traced with a penknife; the centre could not have been cut out more perfectly. He has also hit a visititte card 13 times in 15 shots at 10 paces. He has killed at sea 12. patrols in 14 shots; the size of the body of this bird is so smalltime it is impossible to hit it. The sailors are very superstitious regarding this bird. and may view their destruction (faith fear. NzetLe. Old-Fashioned Hit and Coerage.—A revola tionary patriot used to relate an .anecdote of a man he knew when a buy, who had been a soldier in the old French war. On one occasion, the English, aid ad by the colonial militia, of which he was one, were besieging a French fort somewhere in or near Canada. In front was a space of the forest levelled by a tornado, add beneath the fallen trunks the be siegers sought shelter from the sharp fire of the fort— all save this on : man. Like another Ethan Allen, he stood upon a tree elevated above the rest, returning the enemy's fire. His comrade below hailed him to know if he had any bullets to spare, as he was out. The reply was, "Hang you, come up here; you can catch a handful a minute:" The Beremaele.—The Ow/eland (Ohio) Herald has kni t piece of poetry with this tide.

The transactions: in Cotton yesterday were again on a very limited scale, having scarcely reached 2000 bales, part of which was taken for England and the re mainder fur the North. The market exhibits great heaviness, and prices are constantly tending in favor of buyers. We quote Louisiana and Mississippi.

During the fore part of the day the weather was wet and disagreeable, but towards noun it cleared up and some business was transacted on the Levee. The de mand for Burger continues good, and sales are teadi ly effected at our previous quotations. Molasses is likewise in good revest, and moves off quickly at 20 to 20/c per gallon, the purchases being chiefly on Noth ern account. The Four market remains dull, and is plentifully sup plied.
