" Paini mo as I am," said Oliver Cromwell while silling io young Lily. " If you leave out he scars and wrinkles, I will not pay you a shilling." Now if the old soldier had been sil ting before the Daguerreotype for his likeness, we are of opinion he would have had no reason to complain for want of faithfulness. Whoever wishes to transmit his physiognomy to posteri ty, just as it is, lacks not the means in these days of invention. There is no mistake about the Daguerreotype. It tells the truth. We have tried it, and have seen it tried. If any one wishes to satisfy himself in this matter, let him call on Mr. Fool, now at the Stroudsburg House, who will be happy to attend to all requests of this nature. Now is your time. The Presidency. Mr. Van Buren has returned to Kindcrhook, af ter his visit to the Southern and Western States, with a full confidence that he will receive the nomination of his party for the office of President of the United States, in I84-1. During his stay in Tennessee, it was arranged, through the influence of Gen. Jackson, that Gov. James K. Polk, for merly Speaker of the House of Representatives at Washington, should be the candidate for Vice President, and Mr. Polk has already repaired to New -York, to put things in a proper train for suc cessful operation. Mr. Calhoun and James Bu chanan, it is said, stand no possible chance for success, and at the proper time will be withdrawn to give the little Magician a fair field. Late events clearly demonstrate that the mass of the loco foco party, will have nothing to do with Captain Ty ler, and the opinion daily gains ground that by the time the Election approaches, Henry Clay and Martin Van Buren will be the only candidates on the cou rsc. For our own part we have not the least doubt that if the Whigs succeed in carrying a ma jority of the Members of Congress of a majority of ihe Stales (which they can easily do if they are active and vigilant) the contest will be narrowed down to these two candidates. But if they re main supine and inactive, and permit their oppo nents to carry the majority of Congress, thiags may turn out very differently. The locos know very welt that their chance of success in a fair poll, is extremely feeble, and if they can elect their Congressmen, will scarcely trust their hopes to it. In that event they would run all their men, with the hope of throwing the election of Presi dent into the House of Representatives, and leave that body choose between Van Buren and Cal houn. The Whigs, by manfully sustaining their principles and men, can prevent such a result, and wo have no doubt they will. Tbe district Bill. The Committee of Conference, on the Bill to district the State for Members of Congress, of which we made mention last week, have been un able to agree upon a Report, and are discharged from further duty. Several other Bills for the same object, have been before the two Houses during the past week, neither of which could re ceive the sanction of both bodies. On Thursday last, the Senate passed a Bill which gave the lo cos 14 members, and the Whigs 10, yet the loco focos in the House would not agree to it. Another comniuee of conference was then appointed, in whose hands the matter rested at our latest ac counts. Nerth Eastern Boundary. We have news from Washington that Lord Ash burton, the English Minister, Daniel Webster, Secretary of State, and the Commissioners of Massachusetts have agreed upon an adjustment of the North Eastern Boundary question. The con sent of the Commissioners of Maine, are only re quired now to complete it, so as to transmit it to the Queen of England and the Senate of the Uni ted States for confirmation. We are gratified at the prospect of an early settlement of this perplex ing national question. The Gosi IVews Confirmed. STILL WHIG! The good news from Louisiana is confirmed. The State is still Whig, arid 'will present an unbro ken phalanx in the next Presidential contest. We have a majority of one in the Slate Senate already with the prospect of two more, and a majority of 6 in the House of Representatives. This secures us the election of a United States Senator. Mr. Mouton, the loco foco Governor, is elected by 300 majority. He is a creole, and therefore ran far afcaadof the party vote. The Congressmen elected nre of the same politics as two years ago, 2 Whigs and I loco. Well done Louisiana. i f ay Law. A law has been just passed, which provides that where real or .personal property doe8 not bring two-thirds of its appraised value, execution shall te stayed for one year." A just Rebuke. A short time since the Senate of the United Slates rejected the nomination of Mr. J. Caldwell, as director of the Mint at New Orleans, on the ground of incompetency. John Tyler, however set up his superior wisdom, in opposition to that of the Senate; declared that Caldwell was the ve ry man for the office, and re-nominated him to the Senate ;"or confirmation. On Thursday last the Senate acted upon the re-nomination, and unani mously rejected him, the members of both parties voting against him. The Captain will not, we opine, undeilake lo dictate to Congress again in a hurry. Foreign News. We call the attention of our readers to the for eign news inserted in another column. It pos sesses uncommon interest, and will be read with profit. Great Britain is at this time in an awful state of firment, and unless vigorous measures are taken by the government to suppress all attempts at popular outbreak, we know not what it may lead to. Ireland is in a sad condition, and Eng land in one not much better. Imprisonment for Debt. We published the new law for the abolition of imprisonment of debt, entire in our last weeks pa per. Since then a supplement has passed the Le gislature, and been approved of by the Governor, repealing the proviso in tho first section of the original bill which required a residence of twenty days in the State to all persons who wished to avail themselves of its benefits. Tbe legislature Nothing has yet been done by the Legislature to relieve the wants of the State or to improve tho condi'.ion of its finances. The Bill to defray the ordinary expenses of government was lost by a tie vote in the Senate, in consequence of its ap propriating the income from the public works (which is already pledged to pay the interest on our debt) to pay the salaries of office holders. All attempts to pass a tax bill have failed. The Tariff. We announced the passage of the Tariff Bill through the lower House of Congress, in our last. Since that time it has been reported to the Senate with a few amendments, "and unless the debate is prolonged by the opposition members, it will pass that body in a very few days, with the distribution clause retained. The House will immediately concur in the amendments of the Senate, and by the 1st of August it will be submitted to Mr. Tyler, for his approbation. Whether he will give it or not, is uncertain; but the general opinion is that he will veto it. If he does, it is not known what course Congress will then pursue. Governor Dorr. This traitor, in whose fate our neighbour of the Democrat look such a deep interest, has sailed for Europe. He considered tho territory of the Uni ted States too confined for the free exercise of his breathing powers, and the vision of Jack Ketch disturbed the quiet of his rest. Stay Lav. AN ACT TO STAY EXECUTIONS. Tho following is the act to stav executions, which passed both houses of the Legislature of this Commonwealth.: Section 1.

Tho Hon. Mr. Pickens of South Carolina, has notifiod his constituents of his intention to withdraw from Congress. As the districts in South Carolina arc not yet arranged, and as that State must lose two members, it is difficult to say who will be the candidate to succeed Mr. P. Rhode slauJ.

Ryrle, arrived at Boston, oh Wednesday nighnas't, at half-past eleven o'clock. She left Liverpool on tho 5lh of July. The British Parliament were engaged in a discussion on the distress throughout the coun try. The Chartists were moving in various quarters; the shoemakers had held meetings at several places to consider the prevailing dis tress, and the Anti-Corn Law Associations were agitating as usual. Parliament. On a recent occasion, Mr. Wallace moved, as an amendment to the order of the day for going into a committee of supply, a eie.s of resolu tions to the effect that Parliament should not be prorogued without an inquiry being institu ted as to the extent of the distress and the best means calculated lo afford relief. This has re opened the question of the corn laws and the trading and financial policy of ihe late and ex isting governments, and there is no knowing when the debate will terminate. Mr. Banner man has a notice of motion on the books for empowering the crown to open the ports of Britain to a free importation of foreign corn, in case of necessity, before tho re-assembling of Parliament. The bill incorporating the tariff has passed its third reading in the House of 1 ' Commons, and as it will probably not be de layed in its passage through the House of Lords, it will soon take its place among the statute laws of the land, along with the Income Tax Act. Tuc Reprieve of Francis, and a new Attempt to Kill the Queen. The convict Francis, who fired at the Queen, has been reprieved. There does noi exist a doubt that the pistol was loaded with a de- structive substance. lie still asserts that lie had not intended to injure her majesty, but did it with a view to get provided with a home for life similar to that of Oxford. He will be trans ported for life lo a penal settlement. The announcement of his reprieve had scarce lyocetr made known, when the public were alarlrifolhy a report that another and exactly similar attempt had been made upon her Majes ty's life. The details are almost too farcical for notice. It appears that as the royal cortege was returning on Sunday from the Chapel Roy al, in St. James, a deformed youth presented and snapped an old rusty pistol at the carriage in which her Majesty was sealed. He was seized by another youth, who wrested the wea pon from his hand, but the policemen in atten dance refused to take him in charge, believing it to be a hoax, on which he was permitted' to escape. He was apprehended in the course of the day, when it was discovered that he had recently and repeatedly been heard to say lhat he admired the conduct of Francis, and regret ted thai he had not succeeded in his attempt; that Francis was a brave fellow, and he wished he had been in Francis's place, for he would do for the Queen; that he had a prime air gun and pistol, and he would use them in the same cause. I he pistol had an old flint, lock with screw and rifle barrel. Upon detaching the barrel, which was done with some difficulty, from the screw having become exceedingly rusty, owing to its long disuse, there wero found in it a portion of very coarse powder, a piece of tobacco-pipe, and some paper wadding. His motive is supposed to be tho samo as that of Francis. Ireland. Tho troubles in Ireland still continue, with out any prospect of remedial justice or satis faction. Even the prospect of an abundant harvest does not appear to allay the murmurs of discontent. China. The accounts from China are interesting. On the 18th of March the Chinese, 10,000 or 13,000 strong, tried to retake Ningpoo, while another force attacked Chinghae. In both instan ces they were repulsed with considerable loss. The details have been received. The mail is despatched from Bombay on the 23d of May, ten days earlier than usual, in order to avoid tho monsoon. The Chineso wero allowed to enter Ningpo without opposion, but upon reach ing the market place were attacked on all sides by ihe British troops and instantly routed. When they got within 100 yards of tho British guns, a terrific fire of grapo and canister was poured down upon them. They fled in confu sion, leaving about 250 dead. The 49ih regi ment was then sent in pursuit, but up to tho last accounts had not yet returned. A simultaneous attack had been made upon Chinghae. The enemy were again routed. The British did not suffer a single casually at either place. 'I his appears to havo been only part of a concerted attack, as at the timo liro boats were' launched against the ships. The Mandarins also contemplated an attempt upon Chusan, for which purpose they had col lected a considerable forco on the Island of Tassam. Their intentions were, however, frus trated, by the Nemisia having been sent to re connoitre, and ascertain the extent of their pre. parations. A boat having been dispatched from this vessel, was fired on by the Chinese, when pulling into a creek. The steamer's crew ware immediately landed. They succeeded, after t Ml t l - 1 Killing many i ttie enemy, m capiuring 30 junks, supposed to have been intended to con vey troops to Chusan. By a notification from ihe plenipotentiary, it appears lhat the Chinese will be suffered to use their own discretion in foriifying the bantu of the liver hetween Wlmmpoa and Canton; but if they venture lo erect new works below the tho former prace, hostilities wil! be immedja'c !y rosumprj; The stale of trade a: C mUm Iju.1 iiimn. many sales having been effecieil dutmr, iiie,. ter part of .March.
