Interesting Incident.—Every thing that relates to ANDRILW J 'Aesop., the Hero of New Orleans, awl the friend of his country, is of deep interest to the Ameri can people. And although the incident we are about to relate is, in itself of no great interest, it becomes sio to us in consequence of those connected with it. At the Nashville Convention of August last, we vie' iced the Hermitage (only 12 miles distant) in compa ny with Judge Douglass 6/1 this State, and some other of our fellow-citizens. The Hermitage was crowded with people from almost every State, who had been invited thither by the venerable patriot on the day suc ceeding the Convention. Gov Clay, of Alabama, was near Gen Jackson, who was himself sitting on the sofa in the hall of his residence; and as each person entered, G ay l h is him to the Hero, and he passed alg.— When Judge Douglass was thus introduced, General Jackson raised his brilliant eves, and gazed for a moment in thecountenance of the Judge, still retain ing his hand; "Ate you the Mr Douglass of Illinois, whodeliveted a speech last session the subject of the fine imposed on me for declaring on martial luw at New Orleans?" asked Gen J scasora. "I have delivered a speeei in the House of Repre sentatives upon that subject," was the modest reply of our friend. "Then stop!" said Gen. Jackson. "Sit down here, beside me! I desire to return to you my thanks for that speech. You are the first man that has ever re lievd my mind on a subject which has rested upon it for thirty years My enemies have always charged me with violating the constitution of my country, by de claring martial law at New Orleans; and my friends have always admitted the violation; butt have contend ed that circumstances justified me in that violation. I never could understand how it was that the perform ance of a solemn duty to my country—a duty roe a h, if I had neglected to perform, vi °old have made m traitor in the sight of God end man—could properly be pronounced a violation of the constitution. I felt con vinced in my own mind, that I was not guilty of such a "heinous offence;but I could never make out a legal juts tification of my cours.; nor has it ever been done, sir, until you, on the flour of Congress, at the last session, established it beyond the possibility of cavil or doubt. I thank you, sir, for that speech. It has relieved my mind from the only circumstance that rested painfully upon it. Throughout my whole life, I never perform ed an official act which I viewed as a violation of the constitution of my count...v; and I can now go down 40 the grave in peace, with the perfect ronsriousne•ts -that I have not broken, ut any period of my life, the constitution or laws of my country." Thus spoke the old Hero, his countenance brighten -ea by emotions which it is impossible for us to describe. We turned to look at Douglass. He was speechless. He could not reply; but convulsively shaking the aged veteran's hand, he lose and left the room.

Frattda on Emigrants Landing in Nero York.— The average of foreign arrivals says the N. Y. True Bun of Sant -day, in this city fur se‘eraldaNspast, has been over one thousand emigrants daily. hos in New e com ing consigned to respectable forwarding houses Truk, are received and sent cm their way, without loss of time or expense, iron! delay, while going from o ne ne to another to ascertain what they had better du, bearing contradictory accounts at every step. During the past week several emigrants have been robbed of all their m oney—some have been deceived In other ways--and one party wishing to go West, agreed for their passage, and afterwards found they had been chat ged just double the fare that had been de manded in Liverpool, by respectable houses. In ad. elition to this, in exchanging their money from gold to silver, they were grossly cheated by having imposed upon them spurious coin, and after the first change of conveyance a new imposition awaited them in the shape of extorting double freight or detention of their baggage. Frauds like these and many others await all emigrants whojail, before leaving Europe, to place themselves under the care of some respectable house. tenths contract to place them sael at the end uf their We therefore cautiof ny emigrants to hook journey. through their whole route—with some house in Liver pool upon whom they can rely for protection—and ob tain redress in Case of any trouble on the way. Thou sands and thousands who have booked in Liverpool, for Illinois, 'lowa, Indiana, and other Western States, have made their journey free from anxiety and trouble --with a saving in expense oftentimes of nearly one half—while those who merely book to New York are horded here, thrown at once into the hands of these site sharpers who borrow the garb of honest people merely to enable them the more easily to defraud the poor emigrant., We therefore repeat, that all emi grants coming to the U.

THE AUGUST INTERILST.—The desire of the people of the State to have the August interest on the State Debt paid, is growing steadily, and will bear down all obstacles to the achievement of that object. In many counties active measures are being talen,and we hope will be crowned with suceess. IVe are informed 13) one of the commissioners of our own county that the board are doing their best to help the Stale out of her difficult ies, and at the same time to save the county a good round sum in the per centege for prompt pay ment. The commissioners have at their control. near ly half the sum required from this county, and if they can procure the balance by collections, they will pay the whole. If, however, they can not raise the whole amount, we understand it is their intention to pay out of the Treasury as much as they can raise, and assist the state to the utmost of their ability. Every one who delights intim honor and prosperity of our old Com; monweathlt, will not only be glad to learn that the Commissioners are doing all they can in this important matter,but will second their efforts as far as they pos sibly can.

An acquaintance of ours, who uses a' good deal of grain, was alarmed by the late high pri ces, and took a trip to the country, to we if there aas any reason to anticipate a scarcity.

The tax on collateral inheritances, has been imper fectly enforced in several counties. The duty of the Register of the county is clearly defined in the act of the 22d March, 1841. and the 12th section of the act of the 17th March, 1842. The requirements of these laws ought to be strictly observed. Ithave beenesked on several occasions, whether any per ventage can be allowed to an informer. The law allows none. The duties enjoined on .Executors, and Administrators, and Registers, and (in case the Register neglects to give the bond required) the county Treasurers, were sup posed to be sufficient to induce a compliance with the acts of ~Assembly in relation to this subject. The performance of the duties I have herein referr ed to, as well as all others in connexion with the reve nue, is highly important to the prosperity and honor of the Commonwealth, and is therefore the interest, as well as duty, of every citizen to observe, but especially of officers with whom the law entrusts their enforce ment. Ate time when measures are being taken to main tain our public engagements, it is not only necessary that the payment of direct taxes be promptly made, but that the incidental and subordinate taxes of all kinds shall be rigidly enforced. Thus the government will act justly with her citizens, and its burdens will be borne cheerfully, because equally by them, for equality is justice. JAMES R.

This additional supply of these useful coins will greatly add to the convenience cf the public, under the operation of the new post office law.

And if it is to be reconstructed, it is manifestly required bylaw; by the interests of the city of Pittsburgh as well as by those of the people of the country above and below us. that it shall be placed so much above its former level as to prevent those inter ruptions to the navigation which have been a serious grievance, and a hich have become a subject of alarm and discussion to the people who surround us. Let us petition and supplicate the Bridge company, not again "to injure, stop, or obstruct the navigation of the river!" COMMERCE. The Cyclopedia of Practical fitedicicine.
