The Sunday School in Milford are preparing ,to celebrate the Sabbath the 4th of July, by a specimen of public speaking of pieces selected from the sacred writings. Fanny JElssler "the divine." It appears that this notorious character has again made her appearance at New York, and is delighting spectators with her feats of won derful gyration. It may not be amiss to put ihe public in possession of some facts in her history. Fanny Elssler was employed by the govern ment of Auslria, as a companion for the young Napoleon. His early decease, in consequence, admits of an easy explanation. This result was contemplated, it is supposed, by the arch intriguer, Metternich. It was desirable that the sen of Napoleon should be put out of the way, but so as to awaken no suspicion of foul play. That wily statesman understood the ef fect of early debauchery, and he laid his plan accordingly. Fanny came to this country with a gentleman of Mr. , is an unmarried man, and they live on terms of the greatest intimacy. He is understood to be her fiscal agent. In short, she is kept by him, in erery sense of the word. Fanny is not that artless youthful creature -she is taken to be. The fact that she has a son in JMirope ol the age of eighteen, throws light on that matter. By the aid of false hair, teeth, &.; and by the appliance of rouge, she probably contrives to appear what she is not, and never will be again. Whether such an individual as the above is aproper subject for patronage, is a fair question and as such it is proposed to the advocates of stage morality. Perhaps they may think that her dizzy rei'olutions, with her nether limbs at a right angle, has a sort of talismanic efficacy, favorable to virtue, and modesty espe cially; but others have their doubts.

XTr' The newspapers are makingmerry with some hyperboles of the editor of ihe Richmond Enquirer, one of which is "A Virginian is higher stvle of man than a Roman." This is considered 'flat burglary' against General Jackson, who was 'a Roman, while John Tyler is 'a Virginian.' U. S. Gaz. The Cause. A Loco-foco paper at the South, thus asks: Will some friend tell us what portion of the President's Message contains the reasons as signed for calling an extra session of Congress? We do not know that Mr. Tyler was called upon to assign reasons for General Harrison's calling the extra session of Congress. But if such a session was convened for a President, who had time to look into the state of the na tion, then a fortiori was it necessary to a Pres ident, suddenly coming to the Presidency, with out expectation of the honor, and consequently, without preparation for the position. We should think, however, that the five hun dred thousand dollars deficiency in the Post Office Department, the twelve millions deficien cy in the Treasury Department, the incalcula ble frauds and deficiencies in the agencies un der the War Department, and the want of or der in the Navy Department, might be consid ered as causes for congressional action.- U.

Arriving at Owego bridge, the gate was shut, and he could not get over with his horse. He therefore left it, crossed over himself and stole a third before morning, with which he made off.

Pennsylvania The Tariff. The proceedings of the " Business Conven tion" wltich recently met at Harrisburg indicate very decidedly the convictions of that body in favor of a protective policy on the part of the Government. We make no questions but that the sentiment of the whole State of Pennsylva nia is on the same side. Her domestic inter ests require that she should be so and there are few States which are not in the same con dition. One of the resolutions passed at the 'Business Convention' expresses the belief that no reli ance ought to be placed by Americans on the proposed repeal of reduction by the British Gov ernment of the duties on grain and flour import ed into our country, as calculated to create or improve a market for the productions of our farms. We think it very clear, at all events, that no relaxation should be allowed in the de termination now felt to protect domestic inter eats. There is no doubt about one thing that England will extend to this country as few commercial favors as possible nothing which she can by any means withhold. If we have any thing to ask of her or from any foreign na tion, we must show that her interests require tliat it should be granted. Let it be understood lhat countervailing duties will be laid that the heavy restrictions abroad upon our flour, timber, provisions and tobacco will be met by restric tions upon foreign manufactures, whether of cotloii. woollen, or silk nnnn winn mul sneh things and that in fact reciprocity will be ob served and the choice be given to those with whom we trade, to choose what sort of recip rocity they like the reciprocity of open, easy trade, or the reciprocity of restriction. With a prpposition of this kind to stand upon we might ncgociatc to some purpose. We know not any other mode of reasoning lhat promises to be ef fectual. Sympathy.

More of the Steam Ship President ANOTHER GLEAM OF HOPE. (Correspondence of the New York Herald.) Another Steamer Seen Probable Safety of the President. Liverpool, June 4th. We have had a great many arrivals of ves sels from foreign ports to-day, and among them the Fortitude, from Buenos Ayres; the captain (Arbuthnoi) of which states that on the 27th May, at 5 A. M. lat. 47 N. long. 24 30 W about 10 miles distant, he saw a very large steamer steering to the NE. without a funnel 1 1 I" . 1 1 Til I a crippieu loremasr, ana large pauaie ooxes painted of a dark color, with a large square topsail set on the maintopmast, a topgallantsai on the foretopmast and with fore and aft sails The steamer was making very slow progress This intelligence communicated by Capt. Ar buthnot has excited the most intense interest here, and many persons still hope that from concurrent circumstances it may be the Pres ident; and probably the steamer seen by the Portuguese brig Conne de Palma, on the 23d April, in lat. 31, and long. 40. Others suppose it may be the Britannia steamer from Halifax, but this impression is by no means general; to wards tho close of the qay the opinion is very strong that the vessel seen by the Fortitude will prove to be the President; but it is at best mere conjecture. Ihe London, Yarmouth NS. at Liverpool, May 9, lat. 43 long. 6G, fell in with the Para gon, Liverpool to Halifax, in a sinking state, hating been run aboard by a large American ship the day previous, and took off the crew. May the 12th, lat. 43 long. 50, the London struck an iceberg and lost bowsprit, foremast, maintopmast, &c. and stove m her larboard bow. Shortly after wards'heard a crash, which was supposed to proceed from another vessel running against the ice, and it is feared sunk, but the weather was too thick to distinguish her. Liverpool, 6 15 p. m. The impression gains ground every hour, that the steamer seen by the Fortitude is the President. Another Account. A marked sensation was produced yester day at Liverpool, by the report, brought by the Fortitude, Captain Arbuthnot, which arrived in the morning from Buenos Ayres. The report was, that on the 27th of May, at 5 o'clock A. M. in lat. 47 N., long. 24 30 W., a very large steamer was seen, distant about ten miles, weather rather hazy. She appeared crippled, and was without a funnel. Her paddle-box was large, and painted a dark colour. She had a large square topsail set on the main topmast, topgallantsail on the foretopmast, with fore and aft sails. She was steering to tho north-east, and sailing heavily. Capt. Arbuthnot expressed himself confident that the Tessel seen was a steamer, while his mate is reported to have said that she might have been a ship some what crippled. But if tho captain is right and the mate wrong if the vessel was a steamer, and not a ship the interesting question is what steamer is she? At first, the general opi nion was that she must have been the long missing President, which, having been disabled and driven far south, was returning to the north east, on her way home. From a sketch of the appearance of the strange sail drawn by Capt. Arbuthnot, some persons conjectured that, if she was a steamer, she might have been a Bos ton steamer disabled. It could not, it was ev ident, have been the Britannia, from Boston and Halifax; for though, if she sailed on the 16th ult., she is three days beyond her usual time, she could not have reached the latitude and longitude on the 25th of May. But, if not the Britannia, might not the vessel have been the Acadia, which sailed from Liverpool on the 19th, and would have been about the place in dicated by Capt. Arbuthnot on the 25th? These were some of the conjectures afloat yesterday at Liverpool, and they are mentioned merely for the purpose of showing the uncer tainty in which the report brought by tho For titude has left matters respecting the slrango sail seen on the 25th of May. The agents for the Halifax and Boston steamers are not under the slightest apprehension, that if the supposed crippled vessel was a steamer, it was either of their ships. A gentleman has suggested, that as the ves sel seen was in the track of the Britannia, it may turn out that, if she was the President, the Britannia may have fallen in with her, and is towing her to the eastward. Liverpool, June 2. The Paragon, hence to Halifax, was fallen in with in a sinking state, 9th ult. in lat. 43, Ion. 66, having been run aboard of by a large American ship the day previous, crew saved by the London, arrived here, which vessel, on 12th ult. lat. 43, long. 51, struck an iceberg; lost bowsprit, fore and main topmasts, and shortly afterwards heard a crash, supposed to be caused by another vessel running against the ice, which it is feared foun dered, but tho weather was too thick to discov er her. A very large steamer, painted a dark color, without funnel, large paddle boxes, fore mast crippled, a large square topsail on the main topmast, a top gallant sail on the fore-topmast, and with fore and aft-sails set, was seen about ten miles distant, 25th ult. at 5 A. M. in lat. 47, Ion. 25, steering NE. and making littlo progress; by the Fortitude, arrived here. The Insane and Idiotic. By the census of 1840, ascertained at the Department of State, the number of insane and idiotic reported in tho United States, is 17,181; ihe population is 17,013,379, which gives one insane person to 990 inhabitants. From the Pennsylvania Republican. Congress. We have by using freely and indiscriminately the correspondence of the Baltimore American and Philadelphia Inquirer, given to our readers in this paper a deiail of the proceedings of Congress from Monday until Thursday of last week inclusive. They will be found charged with interesting results. Mr. Clay, with all the energy and activity of his younger years, has pressed business forward in the Senate with great expedition. Already has the Sub Treasury been repealed by that body by the decided vote of 29 to 19 Buchanan dodging the question, and Sturgeon voting in direct opposition to the instructions of thd Legisla ture of Pennsylvania. The Lncofocos com menced an interminable discussion of the ques tion which they kept up all on one side for an entire day; but ihe Whigs refused to waste time with them, and holding the judgment of the people through the ballot-boxes as their strong est argument, pressed the vote and doomed the death of the baloful measure. Mr. " Artful Dodger" Buchanan, it will be seen, has taken issue with Daniel Webster on international law, and commenced a discussion at the pub lic expense and to the great waste of time, with a view to pick holes in the correspondence between the Secretary of State and the British Minister. This is all done for political effect, for the Pennsylvania Jacobin is so greedy for preferment that he desires to make capital out of the most delicate questions connected with our foreign relations. The correspondence of ftir. vyebster with Mr. Fox, has exemplified in tho strongest manner the pre-eminent abili ties and nigh patriotism of the former. The British Minister is in his hands but a child in the claw of a lion, and "the Easle of his mide of place is now hawked at by a mousing owl" from Pennsylvania, whose only object is to stride into the Presidency by means either fair or foul. Mr. Buchanan was met and triumph antly answered on the floor of the Senate bv Mr. Rives of Virginia and Mr. Ciioate of Mas sachusetts, who spoke on Friday. Mr. Cal houn on the same day attempted lo assist his brother Locofoco, but was ably responded to by Mr. Huntingdon, of Connecticut. In the House of Representatives, the week was signalized by the restoration to the people of the Right of Petition, and the repeal of the rule of that body, adopted by the Locofoco pre decessors of the present Whig majority, which arbitrarily rejected every memorial from the people which referred to the subject of Slave ry. This triumph of liberal principles was gained through the perseveranee of John Quin- cy Adajis the champion of free petition, and carried in a Whig Congress. After its adop tion, Charles J. Ingersoll, who had voted for it, moved a re-consideration for what pur pose do you suppose? To vote against it? No but to advise the Nation and the World of what his opinions the opinions of one who 'would have been a tory had he lived during the Revolution" were on the subject. Ha took up two days of the public time in this dis play of self-importance, wandering about from point to point like the fantastic fancies of a crazy man, and was frequently called to order or his wide departure from the pending ques tion. Ihe larce closed by his voting just as he did at first! We refer to the proceedings of a Whig Con gress above alluded to, with pride and pleasure. As far as the Senate is concerned, the odious Sub-Treasury has been killed, and in the House the right of the people to approach the Repre sentative andl advise him of their wishes, has been vindicated. So far all has been well done; and when we add that Messrs. Gales & Sea ton, the gentlemenly editors of the National Intelligencer, have succeeded the unprincipled Blair of the Globe as printers of the House, at a reduction of 25 per cent, on the prices paid oy the loco locos to the latter, our readers will observe that the work of Reform as to men, measures and expenditures, is steadily pro gressive under the new order of things. From the papers received by Monday's mail, we learn that Mr. Ewing, Secretary of the Treasury, in compliance with a resolution of the Senate, presented to that Body on Saturday his plan lor a national fiscal agent. We hoped to present this plan to our readers to-day; but hnd that tho amount of matter already prepared for publication excludes it. It is difficult lo give a synopsis, because the Secretary has used no waste words in his communication. We therefore now merely say that he propo ses to establish a Bank in the District of Co- umbia, with branches only in such States as will assent to it, having a capital of thirty mil- ions ol dollars of which the Government shall own one fifth the States in the proportion of their respective populations one third, and the balance to be subscribed by individuals: Ihe shares to be furnished either in a stock to be created by the General Government 'and sub scribed in their names as the unpaid fourth in stalment of tho surplus revenue, or by means of direct subscriptions by tho several States, with an appropriation of tho proceeds of tho public lands to the reimbursement of the debt to be created by such subscription.

The above we are aware, is not a very satisfactory mate' ment of the scheme; but we shall give It in tJB Secretary's own words next week. From the Whig and Journal. Removals from Offioe. From all quariers the cry of proscription is J be leHrd from Ihe unfortunate Loco Focus. I he Globe, the great organ of their party, first sounded the alarm, rung'the tocsin and "raided a dreadful cry of proscription for opinions sake sketching the scenes of wretchedness and wi,e, that the change of officers under the uoneral government were producing; making it "appear planus wno nad held office here tofore for 12 years, were in a great measure poor and destitute! That it was the widow and the orphan who were deprived of iheir depen dance, forgetting all this while, that to makn room for their appointment others were turned out. Thus commenced the cry of proscription, and it has been reiterated by every opposition paper throughout the whole country, the hollow ness of which must be apparent to all. During the recent political contest there wero certain principles and measures held and advo cated by the friends of the present administra. tion, and a most prominent measure, and one which seemed to be deeply impressed upon the minds of tho whole party, was the necessity of a change in the officers at the head of affairs in our government. This was deemed to be of vital importance to the welfare and prosperity of our country mon from honest convictions acted upon this, and a change was affected. The people willed, and our lamented Harrison was chosen to fill the Presidential Chair, assist ed by his worthy successor the present occu pant of the highest office in the Republic. And was this all the change that was intended bv the people. Was the mere exchange of a few men to fill ihe chief offices in the nation, to pro duce and carry out those salutary and effectual measures of reform which wero so loudly called for. No. Every freeman when he deposited his vote against the late administration, signi fied his wish that there should be a complete and entire renovation in the army of office-holders, who as rampant as hungry wolves, wero foremost in every thing that tended to promote their ends. It was for this that the freemen of the United Stales spoke in so loud a tone. It waa for reform and complete reform they fought. How then is this object to be accomplished if men who were the most inveterate and thorough going opponents of the present administration, and we make the assertion without fear of con tradiction, that nine-tenths of the office-holders whose office was of any value, were thorough partizans, are to beretained. Can the measures of the new administration be carried out if the subordinate officers are plotting for its downfall. We ask not, nor desire for proscription for opin ions sake but we do ask and the people ask that where men holding offices under the gene ral government, and have been, and are still vi olent opponents, that they be removed. To show that the doctrine for which wo con tend is one for which the party who now so loudly denounce it, not only recognized, but practiced, we subjoin a letter from the great or acle and mouih-piece of loco focoism, written at the time when Jackson came into power: Franklin Mills, (Ohio,) Sept. 9, '29. " To reform measures, there must be a change of men." " Without a change of men, fraud cannot be punished; delinquencies cannot be detected; unlawful allowances cannot bo stop ped; improper modes of doing business, and ir regular practices in office, can never be cor rected. Do not all offices belong to the Peo ple? What right have the incumbents to them more than others? No wrong is done to the man who is removed; for he is deprived of no right. It is tho duty of the President, and all others to whom the People have entrusted the power, to remove their subordinates whenever they believe the public interest requires it. So fascinating is power, and so corrupting the long possession of office, that I believe tho chance for a pure administration, would be much great er, were a limit of eight or ten years prescribed, beyond which no man should be competent to hold any of the subordinate offices at Washing ton. It is the policy of office-holders to create an impression that their offices are private rights; that they aro wronged when removed; that they hate aright to demand tho reasons for their removal, and have them formally set forih. When the People assent to a doctrine like this. you may bid farewell to all hope of reform. however great may bo the abusos of our Gov ernment. We shall have Clerks, Auditors Comptrollers, Registers, Treasurers, and Sec retaries for life: bad customs will never h Corrected; erroneous principles will pr.nraU . i ifi i i .i . ever: precedent wil take tho place ot avsii)nv ' . . . . ... x . "Him corps at Washington w guvwn tut Union; and if we do not have Presidents for lit we shall hava entailed upon us forever, a stu cosaion from one office to another, preserving tho unity of the official phalanx, and perpetua ting all their opinions and abuses. In my opinion tho People have more causa to. fear too few- re movals than too 7nany." " AMOS, KENDALL," We learn from Delaware that tli prospects of a, fine crop of peaclie are excellent.
