Jonzs C. Kirxxia, Esq,—A correspon
dent of the Philadelphia Ledger, in wri
ting from Harrisburg, pays the following
handsunle compliment to this gentleman:
A case of a somewhat singular nature
came up before the Court on Thursday.
A man named Rout, of this. Borough, for
the purpose of testing the honesty of a
boy in his employ, placed 124 cents in a
vest pocket as a bait for him, (lie is about
10 years of age) which, he,stole ? Root
prOseputed, and the Grand Jury found a
true bill!—The counsel for defendant,
John C. Kunkle, Esq., made a most suc
cessful defence. He took for his text
the Most striking part of the Lord's pray
er—" Lead us not into temptation''---and,
in . a strain of eloquence seldom; if ever
heard in, the Dauphin Cdonty Court
Hattie, he addressed the Cudtt and jury.
Never did counsel plead with more nisei
ration; never did counsel so rivet the at.
tentibti and gain such a mastery over the
feelings of an audienee as did Mr, no,
kle over 'that: wlib Were present.. His
powerful eloquence housed the tear of
pity to dim the eyes of a majority of both
the court anti spectators; and 1 am in
formed that one old gentleman was so
pleased that lie has ordered Mr. Runkle
a costly gold headed cane haviniengra
ved thereon "Lead us not into tenipta
tion"—a just tribute to worth and taletft,
and a boon that an Emperor might envy.
The jury returned a verdict of . not guilty.
The Judge took occasion to make some
remarks, Which I think neither the Grand
Jury, the Prosecuting Attorney dr the
Plaintifirelished in the least.
The Steubenville Herald says that thei.e
thin 3,000 people in that place derive
their daily support ti um the Woollen
Maliuricuiries alone. There are also cot

nounced in a Boston paper that the Essex
Sllant Mill, in Newburyport, had divided
a pfofit of 424 per cent. fur the last year.
These facts are of importance to be borne

a suitable place for the establighibent of

quoting large estimates last week of man
ufacturers' profits, suppose that it would
be common to realize dividends of 40, SO,

but we have reason to believe that from
8 to 15 per cent is not an uncommon divi
dend, at which rate capital is profitably
employed, both for the capitalist and the

MATimonos, August 10th 1845.
The papers received from Mexico and
Monteyrey by this day's mail bring the
following important items of news :
O.: the 22nd of July, the Government
subtriitted to Congress a declaration Of
war against the United States—the said
declaration to be made when there is news
of the arrival of American troops in Tetr
as. But the Government recommends to
Congress to act on a bill authorizing a
loan of fifteen millions of dollars previons
to acting on the war bill. It appears that
the loan is almost completely negotiated
—at least so the offidial paper gives uS to
understand.
By a despatch froM the Meicienh Con
sul at New Orleans, the General Com
manding this point has been informed of
the shipment of thiops and aritilery at
New Orleans, destined for Corpus Chris
ti and Bexar. These trobps atnotint
2000 men.
With regard to the inii'vement ol the
troops here, we know pds►tively that all.
the paints along the line of the nivel',
Will total be covered. Arista hat about
3000 men General Ltaredes is - coming to
Monterey with about tuar or five thou
sand General Gonna is coming also With
5'000; and General Buttamente goes to
New Mexico: Thus far, however, not-
Withstanding. these preparations, I believe
tlia.t hostiliaiet are not so iinn►inent as
at first may be thought. There is ho Gen
eral in Chief appointed yet—no contracts
for the necessary supplies of a cainpaign,
or a serious incursion iiito Texas..
Some persons, generally well informed
think that the Government heeds money
greatly, and is disposed to hold up the
prospect of war, in order to get the loan
approved. The hope that foreign into►-
vention will soon put an end to the diffi
culties bet Ween the two cohntries seems
to be at the bottoM of the ideas of this
Government, Whicli on the Other hand, if
we may credit lettera recently, received
from the capital, appeara to be threatened
with a new reVolutioh,
fly the next thail we shall prohably have
the debates of Congress on the loan bill
and the war, and Will then be better able
to see into the future.
NOPIIECY FULFILLED.--At the close of
the Wing Congress of 1842, some twenty
members; head ed LI John Quincy Adams,
addressed the publm at length, announ
cing that a project Was du foot to annex
Texas to the United States. At the last
Presidential election most if not all these
twenty, together with a vast majority of
the bravest, most intelligeht, consisteht
and efficient anti-slai'ery men iii the
Union, declared that the only Way to pre
vent the annexation of 'rads was tb vote
for Mr. Clay. But some eight thousand
abolitionists,in bhid, and fifteen thouiand
in 141e* York, would oot it; and
accordiqgly voted for Bfrney, and there
by secured the election of Ptilk, ahtl, as a
consequence, the annexation of Tekas.
Now do they feel about it new? Hope
there'll be no flinching on them part in
prosciiting the Var againit Mexico, to se
cure an indefinite extension of our slave
territory. It a difficult to find language
appropriate to convey our estimate of the
conduct of those twenty odd thousand,
abolitionists. They were certainly burn
to an immortality Of some kind.
NATIMALIZATIPN i'APEII9.-The St. Louis
American says, that at the late election in some of
the Wards the judges required that foreigners
should produce rAidences of naturalization. The:
Consequence win, that soma of them were willing
to swear that they had them, but being required to
produce their papers, actually produced their
.1 and came dray !copses.
And yet the whole population. of the
United States is enormously taxed by an
oppressive and unjust tariff, for' the ex
clusive,.benefit of this there handful of
rich capitalists who are engaged in manu
factures in one 'corner of New ;England.

THE SUMMER COMPLAINT.—The Ilene
plant is said to be a certain cure for sum
mer complaint, so prevalent with chil
dren. A leaf of the plant in a glass of
cold water discharges a muscilage without
taste or color, and children suffering un
der the complaint in question will readily
drink the water.
OBITUAAT RECORD,
From DEATH no age nor no condition cave,
As goes the freeman, so departs the slave,

Lyon, aged 4 year's.
In the death Of this child we are forcibly, as well
rts painfully, reminded of the Mutability of all things
human; But a fete weeks since and we saw the
subject br this notice in health and strength, sport
ing in the stmlight of joyous InneaCnee, the Pride
of a father, the hope Of a Mother, and the delight of
all around him. Little did we then think that his
earthly career was to be so brief. When we shook
his honest and gbilelesa little hand, it' id not occur
to us that it was the last time wo should ever press
nor did we think as We gazed upon that smiling
and latereiting fitee, so beautifully rounded, that in
less than one Mimi Month the grave wenn would
banquet oh Its loveliness: Yet to it is—' ell that's
bright meatfade. The parenti of this, child have
met with a sore affliction, the severity Of Which cart
'only beestimated by those who have . , felt the sun
dering of the strongest ties that earth May know:
They have lost a child, and oils interesting far be
yond its years="the. bOunding step, the laughing
eye, the winning mirth," of their boy will delight
them so more.
"They'll miss him, when tho morning flinga
Its radiance o'er a waking wotld,
And nature in her gladness springs
From sleep, with all her wings unfurled.
They'll miss him, when the evening throws
Her dreary veil on nature's breast,
And to o'er laboured man bestows
The ever welcome boon of rest.
They'll miss him, at the midnight hour,
When stare are on their walk abroad
And thought condensed awakes the power
To lead our feelings up to God:"
Yet this afiliction, seveict end trying as it is,
awaken:, reflections that affords consolation. Had
the child whose kiss we now deplore, been spared
to manhood, who can tell how Many stern trials,
sad vicissitudes, and fearful temptations ho would
have bed to encounter—btjt he ,is now done with
this life, with all, its storms and tempests—its mor
row and sadness—its troubles and its trials—its
temptations and its Aribulations, and has entered
upon that unchanging life, where all is joy—unfa
ding, enternal and everlasting joy. Think upon
ell that that breast, now so silent has escaped and
aVnidecl, and tell me tf there be not consolation in
thought? • • •
