JUDO& PATTON'3 CH A itcr.—We hear the Charge
of Judge PATTON in the cape of the commontieerlth
egniast the Rev. F Smith, spoken of in terms of the
highest praise h all who heard it. Even among the
few who, from some unexplained reason, desired the
convictints, of the defendant, the Charge of his Honor is
admitted to be a clear, sound and able exposition of
the legal and constitutional tights of the citizens of an
dertomieations.
The vitiation at issue woe one of much interest to
all toligious societies: in its dee ;rim), 1,1,ey were to ascer
tain to %hat extent they have the right to protect them
selves from molestation and annoyance. We are told
that the charge of Jndge I'utton cleatly defile-v.l the
rights guarantied to all. and explained the propriety of
the law protecting all in the full enjoymPnt of their re
ligious opiniuns,.and the necessity to check and put
down every effort made to in terfere with a pri‘.iiege
so dear and ir.ered to every good citizen.
T./LLD°, Outto.—There is a letter in the Boston
Chronicle, setting forth the advantages of this town,
and its superior prospects. Toledo is situated at
what the writer calls the "warm end of Lake Erie,
and navigation was not shut out from it during the
last winter mote than two weeks." The Wabash
and Erie Canal is in good order from Toledo to La.
Fayette, Ind., 230 miles The Erie and Kalamazoo
Rail Road extends from Toledo into the interior of
Michigan. The Miami Extension Canal, 215 miles
long,being a continuo•is line front Toledo to Cincin
nati, will be in opet Dijon in :llay. It must be con
fessed that all these itnprovernenti terminating at To
ledo, must make it a place of great trade.
The writer anticipates that within 2 years this 10%, n
will take the lead of Cleveland, in the amount of its
business in shipping prorluce, &c. The receipts of
Toledo by atnal and railroad, in 1844, were within
small fraction of 600,000 bushels of ahem; 3,230,-
984 lbs. perk in bulk ; and 17,416 lard, '2,612,-
884 lbs., pot and pearl a.lws, 1,016,796 lbs.
The region of country trading through this port id
new and sparsely settled, yut being very rich and ex
teniive,Und settling with considerable vigor, it will
soon astonish commeicial men with the extent of its
marketable products.
Steamboats ate now running regularly between To
ledo and Buffalo.
Wssataurott Nrws. —The New York Nliiror has
an article in relation to removals and appointments,
at Washington city, in which the idea is held cut that
the new administration will be more .proseriptiya' than
that of Gen. Jacicson, which all good whigs have
heretofore spoken of with horror. The Mirror people
(although the papet is strictly neutral,) are whigs, and
hence, perhaps, their sensitiveness upon what they
call the "consternation," -President POLK has pro-
duced with! i `. e••n st:imetar,' by which the nheacis"
are "falling round him like Mamelukes."
The Mirror gives %description (fanciful, of course,)
of the manner in which R. H. GILLET, Esq.. the new
Register of the Treasury, announced to Major T. L.
Saint, the late incumbent, that his place was
"wan
ted:"
"Major Smith, seated in his large arm-chair, with
gold specs—his wig neatly smoothed and curled into
the most fashionable proportions, was busily engaged ,
in eignir treasury notes, when a plain, country-kok
ing gentleman made his appearance.
"Ah! Mr. Gillet, lam rejoiced to see yet. Pray
take a seat. I have not .ecn you since you left confrec.,.
How well you look. Oh, a country life, Mr Gillet,
keeps the healthful bloom on your cheek. I was al
ways attached to a country life."
"Then, my dear sir," you will have an excellent op
portunity for enjning your taste, fur I bring asu per
sedeas for you in the office you now hold.
"Good gracious, Max! You put lee-into a cold per
spit ation. A supersedeas for me? Impossible.. There
must be some mistake in this. Why, my dear fellow,
I half only been thirteen nr fourteen yea's in °thee—
a mere campaign—and Colonel Polk is my very, very
particular friend."
"Mr Gillet exhibited his document, and Major
Smith, after puffing away a few heavy sighs. resigned
the arm-chair with his usual grace and dignity, to the
new incumbent."
The Mirror then indulges in other fanciful reflec
tions and complimentary remarks concerning the pre
sumed determination of Col Pout to displace that
roost imaginative of all airy creations, "the kitch
en cabinet," and winds up with the following sub
stantial tribute to the Presdent's merits. We cannot
subscribe to the correctness of the Mirror's premi
ses; but we copy his conclusion notwithstanding:
"Verily, James K Polk eNhibits dimensions nI I be.
tyond.what bis warmest admirers imagined or I.redic
tad, and we have great hopes fur the future lion: the
brie d" experience of the past."
Ns w F•SHION TH 6•TRY.9.-A floating theatre
has just been finished in New York, which the Mirror
says is intended for "coasting
,the Metropolis." It
will be anchored dt the foot of each 3: reef, terminating
At the water, where the location promises to he profit
able. It will be opened for the first performance at
the foot of Chambers street.
There is also another new theatre
. just completed
in New York. Castle Garden has been changed into
a magnificent amphitheatre.
"The novelty at Castle Garden," says the New
York Mirror. "is worth Imperial Cresar's corning
beat to see. That specious area has been entirely
.enclosed, and an amphitheatre constructed, which,
without thearena, will scat four thousand persons!
As well us we could judge with the scaffolding up, it
is a remarkably imposing structure. The walls and
ceiling are covered with drawings is fresco, and the
roof, though very showil) arched, it said to he incapa
ble of the reverberation, which might destroy music in
so large a place. This is not quite so capacious as
the Coliseum (which accommodated 87,000 specta
tors,) hat it is large enough for mos.. o f t h e a ,„„ t bi le , s
of our time, and will probably be used fur a great va
riety of purposes."
A BEA CTIFU L BiNSER, prescroeal by the Democra-

formal presentt.titm was to take place in Tammany

On this evening. notwithstanding the prices were,

introduced with great effect. The novel and difficult
figrires, and the extraordinary skill of these little chit- '

thought, that their lot at present was similar to that
of dancing dogs, that their wonderful art and grace
were not acquired in the splendid satin robes, which
th e y the e wore, but in soiled rags, anti at the expense
of reproofs and blows. Their swoon cmintenances, as

fact, that this exhibition, causing transports ro others,
was a weary labor to them. But when the beholder

The Sandwich Island papers give the purtieullts
of the loss of the whale ship Holder Borden. of Fall

which was found to he triangular in form, about tines
miles in circumference, elevated aheut 40 feet above

about five feet tolerable good water was found. No
trees were found upon h, nor was there any trace of
human footsteps. It was covered with a species of
course sea-grass, a few flowering vines: and inhabited
by multitudes of sea fowl, hair seals and green turtle.
The crew of the whale ship numbered 37, represent

was soli at auction for $1 400, and other property to
the amount of $l5OO. fur the benefit of the underwri

model pronounced good.
Capt. Pell left the Sandwich Islands October 19th,
commending the American brig Delaware, which ves

is valuable to the United States. The Delaware was l i
bought for $6,500. Unless something disastrous at
