From the Reading Chroniele,[lquidenberg.] Cold Comfort for the Wolfttes — lt is well known that the friends of Mr. Wolf hope to receive some support from the Whigs. But if we can judge from Iherone of the Papers of that party there is, no foun. dation for such a belief. The Philadelphia Inquirer, an influential Whig Journal, says, "We can assure the Intelligencer, that the great mass of vote's °fells city will never, or we are greatly mistaken, give their votes for the re.election of tho present incumbent, no matter how liberal the promise of the office holders." The Bucks county Intelligencer, also a well conduc.ted Whig paper, after noticing Mr. Irish's resolution, goes on to say: "Now, we have heard a great deal about officers . of the State Goverement interfering with elections and the choice of candidates for office; but we drd not expect to see them so bold as to step into the arena of strife, & fight for their chief and patron, under his eye. It is time to look into the buiseness— the people are groaning under debt and tax es; but so long as office-holders can direct nominations and elections, they need not hope for relief. Let the rids asked for in that resolution be published abroad, and we predict that it will overwhelm the Admin. istmtion of George Wolf. Whatever his popularity may be, or however deservedly esteemed by the people, an exposition of such facts, would alienate their affections from him . . Let it be known too, that Dr. Burden, the successful speculator in the loans of this commonwealth, and a Senator, went along with the Delegates, and managed, af ter they had adjourned, to get them re-as sembled to nominate Wolf, and that ano ther Senator from this county, indirect violation of the spirit four constitution, re tains two offices under the state, receiving three dokrs per diem for his services as Senator; dat the same time sixtydollars per month for being Collector of Tolls, when ho is a - 100 miles from his office, and attending to, other business For which he is amply paid. These facts will startle the people, and we predict, will endanger, if not defeat Gov. Wolf's re election." qqqqqqqqg The New 'Yorkßegency Unveiled. Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot. NEW YORK, April 4th, 1835. I have just returned from Albany, where 1 had an excellent opportunity tn hear and see the operations and deliberations of the Regency affecting future events. Wash ington and Albany are the two centres of power in this country—New York city is however beginning to be used as the com mon ground where the Kitchen and Regen cy meet to consult on new measures. Still Albany is a place where, ifyou get into the inner circle, you can learn all that is going forward. I found it so. 1 had the oppor tunity of a good introduction, I was"all ears —no tongue"—l shall mention no marries=-- merely general facts,from which thecourse of events may be gathered up with tolerable accuracy. At- this blessed moment, Pennsylvania and Judge White of Tennessee, occupy all the attention of . the Regency. I may talk ofJudge White afterwards—Pennsylvania is the knotty point at present. The disruption of the Jackson party there abOut a Governor is the cause of serious un easiness to the Regency. Not long since the Kitchen sent on a deputation on the same affair—Blair of the Globe, was here for several days. But in order to under stand the present difficulty, I must go back a couple of years and relate as I have heard it, the operations of the Regency upon the politics of Pennsylvania. It seems that in 1832, when the Electornl vote of Pennsylvania was given to General Jackson, but was withheld from Van Buren, the Regency never had any hopes that the dark, benighted State of Pennsylvania would ever come over to Van Buren. They ex pected that its heavy canal debt—and the profusion and extravagance of the Wolf party would sooner or later break down all the parties in that State. Their works of internal improvement were cast in a mould far beyond the available means of the State, and although 'ultimately her natural riches were sufficient to meet the emergency, yet the' party that engaged in them would be prostrated in the dust in the process of de velopement—just as the first builders of fac tortes in New England and elsewhere all broke to pieces and the field left for a race of successors to make fortunes. There was also a want of talent among the leading men of that State. They never had and never would produce great men as New York had done—the two Clintons, Hamilton, Van Buren, who would become the god of the day, and bear down all other personal par ties or factions. Entertaining these views, the: Regency or Van Buren sent an agent into Pennsyl vania in the winter of 1832-3 to spy the nakedness of the land—to ascertain if prac ticable the nature ofpublic opinion—to learn the tnodenf its manufactures and spread in that Bcotian land., The agent went--spent several weeks—found, that there was a fa vonthle opportunity to begin agitation there according to the Regency plan and probably that although the State of Pennsylvania did not then bid fair for Van Buren, yet in two :•VV•rh . years a complete change might be effected by a certsin course ofpolicy there to be in flexibly pursued. This was the situation oil:Whirs in 1832-3. There were then in Pennsylvania two nomi nal parties—the Jackson and Anti-Jackson —each of which was again subdivided into two factions—the Wolt party which had for leaders, Sutherland, Burden, McKean, Lew: is, &c.—the Muhlenberg or original Van Buren, who had for leaders the office-hold ers of the Kitchen Cabinet. The Wolf party then were strongly opposed to Van Buren and McKean who was their candidate for Senator came out with a warm epistle against the Vice President, with a view of conciliating the Whigs and creating a new combination to put down the Kinderhook Statesman. The Whigs , of Pennsylvania did not at that time see the policy of sup porting McKean. Accordingly the Wolf party was under the necessity of casting a bout for another combination. It was at this period, the spring'of 1833, that the agents of Van Buren began their operations and agitations through various newspapers in that State. The Kitchen Cabinet had then at heart the removal of the deposites from the U. S. Bank—the Regency the spread of the Van Buren poli cy. There were three or four measures— all of great importance--coming on in Penn sylvania—l mean the election of a Senator —the reform of the Constitution--and the election also daily approaching of a Govern or. The. Van Buren party seized upon all these questions—opposed McKean for his famous letter—shook the flag of reform at the life officers—made a terrible noise about a National Convention, and "sugared o'er" the name of Wolf "for the nonce." I have learnt that at that period there were various caucuses or intimacy (in 1b33) between the agents of Vnn Buren and the agents of the Wolf pa rty—that communications took place —and the basis of a compromise was agreed to between the parties. Sutherland, Bur den, or perhaps Wolf himself, may know something of these negotiations. It was agreed however that the Van Buren party should be persuaded to support McKean for Senator at the next session, sons to get him from Harrisburg, and thus out of the way— that the Wolf party was to go for the Na tional Convention and Van Buren, and that Wolf should be supported in 1835 ag ain for Governor. It was included that Wolf and his friends at a convenientopportunitv should come out againt4 the U. S. Bank. These negotiations took place to the sum mer of 1833, partly under the auspices of Amos Kendall, and partly of the Regency in New York. In consequence of this a greement McKean vas elected to the Senate --the party at Harrisburg came out in fa vor of a National Convention, and ultimate. ly supported all'the measures of the Kitch en against the U. S. Bank. By these ne gociations, arrangements, bargains and pledges, Van Buren made astonishing head ' way in Pennsylvania in 1833 and '34. He was in a fair way of carrying that State by a coup de main. Pi.rela sz n. baso ofstratagetic operations upon the backs of the ultra Jackson men he so maneuvered by his generals and aid•de-camps that the Wolf party was forced into a narrow defile between the Anti-Masons and Whtgs,,and they had to submit to terms or be utterly routed and discomfitted. He so played ofl against each other the four great factions in lketia that to the astonishment of every politician—to his own wonderment, Van became in the fall of last year the most prom inent man among the whole combined Jack son party of that State, and bid fair to carry its electoral vote next year without either expense or trouble. . The .Regency always, and yet do, consid er the Pennsylvanians as the - poore - st polite= • cians in the country. The present confu sion in that State, is a relapse into old dis. orders, with which that state has been af flicted for twenty years past. It seems that in the winter and spring . of 1833-9, when the Van Buren star was in the ascendant, a small coterie, partly of the old federal party, in Philadelphia, embraced the opportunity of going over to the Van Buren ranks,think tng that, according to all appearances, the "opoils" could be smelled in that direction. This was during the great discussion in Congress, on the removal of the deposites. Their aid was very cordially embraced.— They made their first appearance on that side, in Philadelphia, when the public meet ings were held'in favor of the Kitchen on that measure. John M. Read, a talented young lawyer, of pure federal blood, as it is called—was the leader of part of this new accession. He was introdticed to the Jack son party by Attorney General Dallas, as I have heard. Richard Rush is another of the converted allies. They made speeches; drafted resolutions—and drummed up every man they could find in favor of the ultra measures of the Kitchen. They also ad vanced money, it is said, and got possession of the principal news papers,httherto devoted to Van Buren. This new aid, joined with the Wolf and Muhlenberg parties, was the cause of the unexpected triumph of the Jackson party there, last veer. Accordingly, immediate ly after that election, they preferred their demands for office, and if I am not ,mista ken, the,aforesaid Mr. Read was proposed for some office; together with Richard Rush and a few . others. For some cause, their c:eims were not attended to. They became Angry, restive and dissatisfied with Van Buren. • Out of this spirit, they began last December, the agitation in faior of Muhlen berg, contrary to the original treaty ofpeace with Wolf, Sutherland, and the Van Buren agents. Owing to the Circumstance, that there is a large disorganized mass in the Jackson party, that always disliked Wolf, they had almost succeeded in ousting him from the• nomination of Governor. The recent proceedings . at the March Conven- tion are well . ` known to the world. The Wolf pa'rty have there redeemed all the pledges they made to Van Buren in the simmer of 1831 They have even gone further—they have nominated him before the meeting of the Baltimore °flee Holders Convention. This policy was adopted in order to give them the windward tack upon the Muhlenberg party. But there is now inextricable difficulty and confusion in Bixtia. The Wolf party have sent agents and communications both to Washington and'Albany. I understand that Sutherland insists upon the Regency exercising their influence upon the • Lewis town COnVention; and if they will not, he threatens to blow up Van Buren in Pennsyl vania. McKean, who was always against Van Buren, is now stronger with Wolf than ever. AU his predictions about Van Buren intrigue, he says, have come true to hand. if Muhlenberg persists ' himself, to run a gainst Wolf, the whole Wolf party threaten to get up a prodigious excitement against Van Buren. They care nothing for the pledges and electoral ticket made at the Harrisburg Convention. Between this hnd the meeting of the Lew istown Convention, the Regency have un dertaken the task of calming the waves and setting every thing on its original ground of amity. In - pursuance of this determination, Richard Rush, one of the original instiga. tors of the opposition to Wolf, has been tip. pointed to appease the quarrel between Ohio and Michigan. If he should be no more successful in that negociation, than he has been in the Van Buren agitation of Penn sylvania, I expect to hear that hostilities have fallen out- on Lake Michigan, one month after he shall have reached that place. Negociations are already begun with John M. Read, Henry A. Muhlenberg, &c. &c. It is highly probable, that great promises will be made, if they will back out and bring the Lewistown Convention to the straw of an abortion. Van Buren and the Regency think they shall be able to settle all this question before May, so that they may devote the summer to the total route and discomfiture of fudge White. Muhlenberg will most probably re sign the nomination of the Lewistown Con vention, and the mass of his supporters, who are not in the secret, will be called upon through the Van Buren papers, to support Wolf, and unite with "the democracy."— This business is still on the carpet, and the couriers that are passing to and fro, are nu merous and rapid. Thus do we see how New York politics and politicians, by their superior audacity, tactics and knowledge of human nature, are gradually reducing the whole confederacy, under their dominion and power. New York has already reduced a portion of New England—Pennsylvania and Ohio will soon follow, if nothing should intervene. In a few years, all the other States of the Union will be only so many departments or prefec tures to this mighty empire, that stretches her hands from Sandy Hook to Buffalo.— Imperial Rome attained her dominion by a similar policy. She introduced herself into Greece as a friend and ally anxious to settle local disputes, and to quiet all commotions end dissensions. We ace io tho rroaant stance, Pennsylvania applying to our Re gency, to settle their dissentions and to give them a Governor. It is this way, that what was once called State rights and State pride, 'are all merged in subserviency to the sup `rior power and influence of this State.-- Have you no local dispute or dissention in Maryland, through which our ever glorious Regency can get their hand into your bo som and take hold of the source of power? JOSEP'II RITJVER. No person in pennsylvania has been more genererally and cruelly misrepresented than Mr. Ritner; for masonry seems determined to accomplish all its objects . by regularly .concerted systematic arrangements for slan dering its adversaries. We can speak, from a long intimate acquaintance, of Mr- Ritner's most generous, frank,'"annable disposition, and superlative natural gifts of intellect. A more right minded, clear headed man, it has rarely, if ever, been our lot to meet. Self-taught; self-made; struggling against every kind of difficulty, "Checked by the scoffs of Pride and Envy's frown, Andpoverty's unconquerable bar, lii life's low vale remote—" • He has risen above it all, by the incom pressible energies of his native powers, and the sterling integrity of hie character: com manding the respect and confidence of all who really know him, and occupying a po sition which must confer on him the Chief Magistracy of this great State. We recollect well when he first went.in. to public life. Plain, modest, affable, but un pretending; while others were splashing about their scanty stock of ideas, he was quietly treasuring up; and permitted a whole session to elapse with very little manifesto. tion, except in private circles, of that mas culine sense, that electrical sagacity for which he became afterwards distinguished. He commenced his second session in the Legislature as chairman of the committee of Claims; a post which required from him laborious attention and study. He occupied it for twoyears; and amidst the multifarious subjects crowding continually upon his atten. tion, he was forced out: to sustain his reports he was obliged daily to measure his contro versial powers with the most expert, disci plined debaters of the house, upon questions of law, of fact, of usage, or of equity. We have seen him encounter, and finally baffle, two able, well prepared Philadelphia law• yers, upon one of the most complicated and difficult questions which we ever saw brought into discussion. We should like to see some of those hot pressed, gilt-edged sparks—those milk .brained, fashionable kangaroos, who are in ibe constant habit of sneering about Mr. Ritner as an ignorant farmer, brought Within the iron grasp of his mind upon some of those great questions which he managed so felicitously in that arena of intellectual conflict. As .a speaker he has several defects— both his voice and his enunciation are im perfect; but hts ideas and his language are good, abundant, and uninterrupted. He is chiefly remarkable for the inexhaustible, ready stock of thit. precious common sense, which distinguished Dr. Franklin: in fact, his mode of thinking is strikingly similar to that of Dr. Franklin; in the constant practical bearing of his views; the clearness with which he aces every part of his subject at the same time; the facility with which he catches all the obvious and appropriate points which common minds blunder over, and the utter absence of all trash from his thoughts. The last session before he was chosen speaker he found leisure to bestow some time, and much zeal, upon the great system of Pennsylvania Improvements which was then commenced; and upon that subject lie unfolded those profound views, the wisdom of which we have since been made to feel by long years of mismanagement, under statesmen of a very different description. Mr. Ritner rose to preside over the pop ular branch of the Legislature without ap pearing to be aware of the current of im pressions around him, which carried him thither—without intrigue; without extra. neous influences of any kind; by the mere, natural, upward tendencies of a fine mind, an amiable deportment, and an inflexible regard for principle and honor. He was afierwards thrown out of public life by the forgeries and intrigues of an in famous Masonic cabal, to which he scorned to truckle—the leadei of which has since received-it-small-portion of his 'deserts in our Western Penitentiary. If Mr. Ritner had submitted to their behests,to the sacrifice of the public interests, he might long ago, like some other distinguished personages, have been at the summit of their power, and at the bottom of their iniquities. Through the whole of two canvasses for the office of Governor, the reckless spirit of the same class of characters has pursued him, without establishing the shadow of a single fact against him; until the best sym pathies of every generous mind have been roused to sustain him.—Pittsburg Times: TENNESSEE.—The Nashville Banner of the 25th ult., concludes a long article on the subject of the next Presidency, and of Gen eral Jackson's preferences, in the.following terms:— "As to Tennessee, her eons, as indepen dent in peace as they have proved themselves brave in war, have already recorded their verdict. They go for Hugh L. White, without a division. With them Mr. Van Buren never was a favorite. Unaided by the influence ofGeneral Jackson's name, he would never have been thought of. And backed as he is now by the exertions of some of his advocates, the embryo candidate of the Baltimore 'Convention will not get an electoral vote in the Tennessee college ! Who will deny this?—We pause for a reply." VARIOUS MATTERS. lITER.OIII HARRISBURCI. Correspondence of Poulson's Daily Advertiser. 11.a.DRIQDLIRO, Arra 9. The excitement that manifested itself in the House yesterday has by no means sub sided. Mr. J. B. Smith tried to get the bill relative to limited partnerships up for con sideration, but so anxious were the mem bers to hear the bill to be proposed by Mr. Heston, relative to internal improvements, &c. that they refused to consider it, though it is said by commercial men to be of much importance. When Mr. Heston's bill was presented, and after it had been read, a scene almost to be regretted took place—it was moved that the House proceed to consider it, forthwith, which was amended by insert .ing the 16th of April, the 'day after the Le: gislature adiourns. The first motion pre-. %Tailed, and the House resolved itself into committee of the whole, Mr. Middleswarth in the chair. After some time, the bill was reported with sundry amendments. In the course of the discussion it elicited, Mr. Har rington attacked Mr. Heston and Speaker Thompson with much virulence and vituper ation. Messrs. Stevens and Harrison also attacked Mr. Heston for bringing in a bill after the solemn decision of the House, more objectionable than the one which had been decided upon. I have.never seen such a decidedly pugnacious spirit in the House as the internal improvement bill hasquickened into life. No extecsions will pass, and tho' all are eager to provide for repairs, dr.c. I should not be surprised if not a single ap propriation should pass. This afternoon has been spent in grading the patented lands of the Commonwealth. Messrs. Stevens, M'. Culloch and Woodward, supported the bill as passed, and Messrs. Lncock, Lawrence and Miller of Fayette opposed it. The bill was zealously supported and as zealously op. posed. The House is in session this eve ning. The Senate have passed the act in corporating the Susquehanna Navigation Company through the second reading. The few remaining days of the session will in all probability be spent in the most boisterous manner, unless the internal improvement bill is quickly disposed of. I have under stood that the bill to establish a board of works will not be before the House again this session.

Delcodernices Log Book. ST. THOMAS, Feb. 11, 1835. "Twenty minutes past 10 o'clock, expe rienced a heavy shock of an Earthquake— the shock lasted about twenty-five seconds— the report one and a •half minutes. At the time it commenced I was in a iong low store in company with Mr. N. Carrington. The store was composed of brick, atone and lime, and steed on made hind or ground, and the shock caused the building to rise and fall like a long flat boat riding on the waves.— The pots, hams, and other articles usually hung on the beams of the stores, were all put in motion, swinging to and ere. The shock was also felt by Capt. Hale, of the brig Rosalba, of Baltimore, in lat. 18° 27', lon 62'20' which lasted about one minute." Another extract from the Borne January 22--" Tuesday, 10 o'clock in the evening, in passing the Island of Nevis, I was a spectator to a scene that surpasses all description. A sudden stream of fire burst upon our sight that astonished and delighted us. It was a broad sheet of flame illumina ting the space of many m:les—emitted from the volcano on the Island—in a few minutes the flame disappeared and again burst forth in one sudden and .plendid column, rising from the horizon and broadening until it reached the sky, and extended over the whole Island.

Levi Woodbury of New Hamp shire, has declined being a candidate for the Vice Presidency. Mr. Benton and Mr. Buchanan have already done the same. DEAR HAY. --A Quebec paper states that hay, just this side of the line, in the State of Maine, is "twenty dollars a hundred."— This would be at the pretty considerable rate of 400 dollars a ton. " If this be not a mistake in the print, we think it high time that Major Downing should quit politics and attend to the agricultural concerns of the State. Raising hay, at 400 dollars a ton, is better than dealing in lumber,when boards are only 5 dollars a thousand.. A Mortsraous Low; TAIL—By an Al. manac of the Bureau of Longitude for 1835, we learn that Halley's famous comet of 1835, will make its appearance about the j middle of Ociober next, with an enormous tail of eight millions of miles in length! • A gentleman near Natchez, has liberated his slaves, abont 20 in number, and given them an out ft of from 200 to 400 dollars, for Liberia. .

It contains several original articles, and a mong those selected from other periodicals is the one on our first page from "The Knickerbocker." written by BENJAMIN MATTHIAS, Esq. the talented Editor of the "Post" and "Casket." The present volume of the "Casket" bids fair to be far superior to any of its predecessors. ect-The following letter from Mr. &rev Errs gives information which will, no doubt, be highly gratify ing to a large number of the citizens of Adams county: DEAR SIR--It gives me great pleasure to inform you, that the Bill which the peo ple of Adams County had so much at heart —the LAND GRADUATING BILL, has just passed the Senate in the same shape in which it passed the House of Represents/. tives. It is as follows— AU land valued (without the improve ments,) over 10 dollars, pays simple inte rest. Between $7 and $lO, 4/ per cent interest. Between $4 and $7, three . per cent interest. Below $4, no interest. This law will be a great relief to the poor Your's &c. Cu- Another • letter from Mr. SrEverm states that the above Bill has received the signature of the Gov cram and become a law. I:ITWe learn that the bill creating the Counties of Adams and York into a separate Judicial Dis. trict, has passed both Houses, and only wants the signature of the Governor to become a law. (101-It is thought that the School Law will not be repealed. QT It is with much pleasure we observe, that whilst the two factions of the "Democratic" party are "using each other up," perfect unanimity prevails, generally, throughout the groat Reform party. Hero and there we see a "black sheep," or a "Wolf in sheep's clothing"—but with few exceptions the groat body—all who sincerely de- sire to see Pennsylvania wrested from the grasp of men who would move heaven and earth, and• sacrifice the dearest and best interests of their country at the shrine of their unhallowed zombi. tion and their grapplings after power—all who have such a patriotic wish at heart, have deter. mined to sacrifice all minor and selfish considera tions and act upon high and elevated ground.— They see that now rests upon them the responai. bility of either securing the State to, or of wrest. ling it from, the New York Regency--and that it is their duty to stop forward and bo the instru. *tents of achieving a great and gloriouo victory, by wresting from the withering and blighting grasp of Van Burenism the State of Pennsylvania. They see that for any other course, they have no plausible excuse: Joseen RiTNaa holds the same views with them upon the great and leading meas. urea of the Constitution—that ho id opposed to all extravagance and unnecessary expenditure of the People's money, and decidedly in favor of a rho. rough Reform in our State Constitution. Joseph Ritner's election to the Gubernatorial Chair, will be the downfall of the present party in power, and will secure the electoral vote of the State against Van Buren. His defeat will forever prostrate the Constitutional party, and Tian still closer Penn sylvania to the Car of fhb Heir Apparent. This cannot be disguised. tErThe nomination of this gentleman appears to meet ills general approbation of the opponents of Van Burin, throughout the State. All the Anti• Masonic, as well as a large majority oral° Whig journals have warmly greeted his nomination, and Avowed their determination to give him their sup. port. His election is considered certain. With in the last few weeks wo have received various let. tare of the same import with thifollowing llom a gentleman of Lycommg county:— lirrNen's prospects could not be better than they are now in this county. I have been given the names of some twenty; or thirty .gentlemen, in this neighborhoil, of the.first i standing, who, opposed him at the last Gubernatorial election, who are doing ,all they can now to promote his election. Wolf will not do.

In this sec tion, as well as in your own, Por.mcAL PRIESTS will not be tolerated by those who wish to keep as separate as possible, Church and State. Parson Muhlenburg will even tually find, as the Harrisburg Chronicle quaintly remarks, that "there is but one step from the PULPIT to a POLITICAL grave." The person who stole Mr. STAMPS' Masonic books, it appears, to screen himself, hid. them in the desk of one of the Members who was absent at the time Mr. Stevens loaned the books to Mr. Herrington, a Mason, to reply to him! What a shallow trick ! More in our next. The Norristown Free Press says—the war between the friends of Wolf and MA. lenberg is increasing in violence and abuse, us the prospects ofeach faction becomes the more desperate. Witness the following, from the Lewistown Republican: "Let the friends of democracy and good order hold fast to George Wolf, as the rock of their safety. They might as well place the administration of their aflhirs in the hands of a Spanish Banditti, as in the hands of Parson Muhlenberg, and his Cut Throat Associates." TRF.BII FROM THE RANKS OF THE PEOPLE.' --The Muhlenberg men of Adams County. Pa. have held a meeting since the 4th March Convention, at which resolutions were pas sed denouncing the proceedings of that bo dy,—abusing Gov. Wolf, the nominee, and declaring it to be important to the public interests, "to bring forward a new candidate for Governor fresh rrom the ranks of the peo ple." This, as the Harrisburg Intelligencer said on another occasion, is rather "toe much pork for a shilling." The "new candidate" which this meeting is laboring to bring out, fresh from the ranks of the people, isa prom. inent member of the "aristocracy of wealth" —and has, notwithstanding, lived from early manhood, on the fat of qffice. Lfho is fresh from the ranks of the people, poor Wolf, who has been victimized by the Kitchen, cannot be very stale.—Balt. Pat. AMEUICAN MLA.—Raw silk has been produced within the past year, in Mansfield, Conti. to the amount of over $60,000. The county of Windham, Conn. produces five tons of silk annually, valued at $50.0,000; and &reeled would be worth double that sum. Nine prisoners escaped from the jail of Chester county on the night of the 3d inst. Two of them had been committed on a charge of passing counterfeit money, four on Suspicion of having been accessary to the burning of Pikeland church, and the three others for minor criminal offences. They effected their escape by sawing offone of the iron bars of the window of the apartment in which they were confined, and getting into the yard of the female prisoners. They then broke through the yard wall, which, in its present delapidated state, we should infer from the Register, was not a very difficult matter. Three or four of the rogues were apprehended on the following day and con. ducted back to prison.—Lancaster Exm. "Goma AnrAn."--The Liverpool Stand ard states that the British ship Lintin made her passage from Savannah to Liverpool, a distance of 3,859 miles, in twentyone days. The average rate of sailing for nineteen days, was 203 miles a day. THE COTTON TRADE.-1t is stated that in the beginning of the reign of George the Third, (m 1760) the cotton trade of Great Britain gave employment to 40,000 persons and the value of the goods produced was £OOO,OOO. It now emplo3s not less than 1,500,000 persons, and the value of the goods produced exceeds thirty-one millions. The London Athenwum states that the cot ton yarn annually spun in England, would, in a single thread, girdle the globe 203,775 times; it would reach filly-one times from the earth to the sun, and it would encircle the earth's orbit eight times and half. It would certainly make the longest yarn ever heard of. OrA. British Brig recently sailed from Charleston with a cargo of cotton on board, valued at $103,173 16. The Adams Sentinel which is favorable to a whig convention, recommends the lion. Geo. Chambers, of Franklin county, as a suitable individual for the support of the whigs, fiir the office of Governor. We would yield to no one in the appreciation of the talents and moral worth of Mr. Chem bers;yet these considerations, under present circumstances, could not induce us to sup port him. Besides, it cannot be denied that Mr. Chambers owes his election to the aid which he received from the Anti• Masons of Franklin and Adams,and is as strong an An ti• Mason as the lion. Edward Everett, who is the candidate of the whigs and Antt•Ma sons for the Executive chair of Massachu setts. Mr. Chambers was nominated by the Anti-Masons, for the office he now holds and accepted that nomination. [Carlisle Her. WILLIAX M. WHITLEY, alias S. D. Wil son, who escaped from jail here, and for whom a reward of $6O was offered, was ap prehended in Pottsville, brought back and is now safely lodged in jail again, being se cured by irons. He will be removed,• to Lancaste, for trial at next Court, on numer. ous charges of Forgery, and from there to Westchester.-1 - larr isburg Tel. A new paper is about to be attempted at Columbus, 0., with the' avowed object of advocating the election of Hugh L. White to the Presidential chair. A late number of the London Morning Herald says—" We have authority to say, that there is no truth in the statement winch has lately been circulated as to the interesting situation of Her Majesty the Queen." ~~~ r_, ;a; C*-We find Id' the Philadelphia Inquirer of the 7th inst. the following condensed view of the late news from Europe: The American Indemnity Bill had not passed the Chambers, but it was believed in England, at the last dates, that it would e ventually receive the sanction of a majority of the Deputies, although some entertained doubts upon the subject. The French Ministers had experienced a defeat on the bill for the continuance of the Tobacco Monopoly, and they immediately resigned. No new Ministry had been form ed. The King was evidently in trouble. A frigate had been despatched from Toulon, to watch our squadron at Mahon. Mr. Abercromby, the reform candidate, was elected Speaker of the British House of Commons, by a majority of ten votes, over Sir Charles Manners Sutton. The Minis ters were subsequently defeated on one or two other questions, but they still held on to the reins of government. A passenger states, that Sir Robert and the Duke had declared their intention of retaining their offices, and that the opposition had deter mined to grant the supplies but for three months, as a rod over them. If the latter can succeed in this measure,we should think that the only alternative will be for Minis ters to resign, or to dissolve Parliament. The Emperor of Austria died on the se cond of March. He would be succeeded by his son, the King of Hungary. Cc:T'A later arrival than the above, brings letters from Havre, one of which,' dated March 12, says, "If we had a Ministry, the law about the twenty-five millions should have already passed." Another of the I3th, says, "The report on the Treaty will be made to the Chambers on the 22d or 23d inst. (March.)" The following letter, bringing intelli gence of the re-organization of the French Ministry, is, says the New York Journal of Commerce, from an unquestionable source: "PARIS, March 12, 1835. The Ministry remain as they were, with the change of Mr. De Rigney being trans. ferred to the War department and Mr. De Broglie appointed Minister of Foreign Af• fairs and President of the Council. This arrangement is favorable to the American question, and the report of the Committee will be made in a few days." RELATIONS WITII FRANCE.—The opm. ions expressed in the letters received from France are uniformly favorable to the pas sage of the indemnity bill. We have had access to a good many from the most re spectable sources, and find no difference of opinion on the subject. Some ofthem speak in the positive tetras, such as "whosoever may be Ministers, the bill will certainly pass." The language we have quoted is used by members of the Chamber of Depu ties, who are also merchants and Ilatalmn,' and write to their correspondents here for their guidance in business of mutual inter est.--.Tourn. Cora. We learn from the different reports made to the House of Representatives by the Ca nal Commissioners, that the salaries of the officers and persons employed upon the ca nals and rail-roads of Pennsylvania, amount to the pretty sum of ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-THREE THOUSAND, FIVE lIONDRED AND NINETY-SEVEN, DOLLAES per annum! and the Harrisburg Intelligencer assures us that this is by no means the whole amount paid by the State to persons employed on the public works. The rock keepers and perhaps some others, have the rent of their houses paid by the State. Besides, these are only the - officers in this grand political army. The soldiers are not enumerated. It is probable t hat TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS per annum would not pay the per sons employed by the State on the public works. It is time this army was disbanded —they will eat all the tolls. It is believed that less than one half of this enormous sum is amply sufficient to pay every necessary officer on the improvements.—Lan. Exam. An English writer says, that Englishmen are on the average one inch taller than Frenchmen, and Americans one inch taller than Englishmen. A son of Erin, mourning over the fate that doomed him to an exile from his coup• try and his home, said,"lf ho ever lived to die, but God only knew whether he would or not, he hoped to see swate Ireland before he left Philadelphia.
