death of FRANCIS AssorT, (says tliO Lockport.
Valance,) who for the last two years his lived in
a secluded and unhappy manner, on and near
the Islands at the . falls Of Niagara, were furnished .
us by the politeness of a gentleman residing at
that place.
In the afternoon of the 18th of June, 1829
a tall, well built andliandsotne - man, dress

lute color, was. seen passing through -thq

gaze of the visitors and others about the

elastic step and animated Motion, he pass
ed the Hotel, heeded not the inquiring gaze
of the idle multitude, but erect and proudly
bent his course to the small and lowly inn
of. Ebenezer O'Kelly. He at once entered
into stipulations with the host, that the room

he should have his table to himself, and on
ly certain parts of his 'cooking should be
_done, hy Mrs. O'Kelly. He . made the usual_
inquiries as to the localities of the Falls,
• and wished to know if there was a library
or reading-room in the village. On being
informed that there was a library, he im
mediately •repaired to the individual by
whom it was kept, deposited three dollars
and took out a book ; purchased a violin,
sorrowed music books, informed the-libra
rian that his name was Francis -Abbott,
and at •he should remain a few days at
he Falls. He conversed with him on va
rious subjects, and his language was deliv
red with great ease. and ability. The
next aa he returned to the same person—

The Falls frequently remained but a day

that they should be so little interested in

In a few ditya he . called again, and again

On Friday, the 10th of June last, he
went twice to the river to bathe, and was
seen - to go the third time; at that time the
ferryman saw him in the water. It was a
bout two o'clock in the afternoon; the ferry
man did not see him return, and his clothes
were. observed where he had deposited
them; An examination was immediately
made, but his body coul4not he'discoveyed.
On the 2lst it was taken op at Fort Niagara
and on the next day it s was removed to, and
enterred decently at, the burial ground at

A PASSIVE INNOCENT.:—.-YeSterday moin

was committed to tridewell from the watch
house,pn a charge of having attempted to
steal a quantity of pine-apples from on board
a sloop at Burling slip, on - Saturday night.
The prisoner's sleek black hair, well tanned
hatchet-shaped countenance, and golden ear
'rings, bespoke him as one "down east just
now." ' On being asked if he had any thing
to say to the charge, the prisoner replied that
he had. "Why squire," said he, "1 was just
a walkino-down to the river, and not think
rilg of noing,, When this ere man takes me
up to the watch."
Magistrate.—The complainant found you
on board.
Prisoner.—Why, yes, squire, as I stood
on the dock, some feller tluowed me in, right
on board.

the hold of the sloop.
Prisoner.---Why, es, you see the feller
9hoved me right ov until I pitched right
full into the hold.
Magistrate.—What, was your reason for
attempting to remove the pine-apples?
At this question thelinoffending innocent
seemed rather confounded; he applied his
ring-adorned fourth. finger to his hair, and
after a short pause said, "You see squire,l
had nothing to do with it; circumstances—

it barely possible that the allusion could . be

been duly received;l have noted your view or
the occurrence to„ which it refers, with' n
perfect disposition to meet you in the spirit
of frankness and of good fee iiirg, which is ex- -
pressed in your letter. It is atilividence of
my reluctance to engage in controversy, that
I have abstained from going before the pub.
li otwithstanding the Multiplied mierepre

i i i

tro! may render it indispensable, I acquiesce
with the less relutance, in the interchange
of recollections which you propose.
I am to speak of what occurred at the int
terview- which naolLplace_baawn,
srs. Branch and Ingham. ; and myself,_ at my ,
house. You had, as I afterwards under. "- -
I stood, held, previous conversations on the
sane subject with one or both of these gen t
tlemen, but I was perfectly unprepared fib
the interview, until the moment when• You
announced its objectatmy house. The Ink
pres'sion made by your annunciation wassuch
as not to be easily effaced from my memory.
You begun by expressing the fiiendly regard
which you felt for those gentlemerrendW - -
self, and by stating that this was the 'Motive
for your interference. You told us that an
impression had been;matle-tivarrhe-mindof • -

self, to exclude Mts. Eaton from the soeletx
of Washingtop- m that he was excited by this
representation, considering anattempt

the President had seen with pain the *Nit o f
harmony among the menibera of his Cabinet
—that he was determined to have . hannony #
and that his determination would.be waronsii
ced to us in the course of the week. ,___
You ndded that you bad in ihe mean tires
eought this interview with the approbation
of the President, from motives of regard 03r
all panacea: You mentioned, as circuinstan=
ces which -had contributed to produce thiii
impression on the mind of the President, that
Messrs. Branch, and Ingham, and myself„
had successively given large parties to which
Mrs. Eaton bad not been invited--end while
you disclaimed any disposition on his part to
require an intimacy between our families and
that of Major Eaton, you added, that he
would in future expect that at least on such cc ,
casions as that to which you had rekrred,
(pat is to say, when large or general parties
were given,) that Mrs. Eaton should be in. ,
vited. I replied to you that not having been
