'At one o'clock to day, Jones and Thomp *OO (assuined names) were hung for murder ing and attempting to rob Wm. S. Thomas, -exchange broker of this city:—They rode from the jail to the gallows each driven in a buggf• by one of the sheriffs of this coun ty,smoking their cigars with great calmness till the moment before the caps were pulled over eyea, when they shook hands with each other, and without any apparent trepi ' dation, were swung into eternity. Thomp , son was without any genius of his own and has been the mere executioner of the daring villidayoflonesandethers. Jones has made • - a dot otion of his confession to Mrs. Oldham,' widow of the Jute jailor. According to this, it seems he woo born in Eogland, of a good fannly,and was a merchant-in Loudon where he failed for three hundred and fifty thousand pounds sterling—showing assets for one hurt- Anal and ninety-one. Here he says, !it: , deposited fifty thousand pounds without the knowledge of his credi tors in the hands of a rich banker; brought his wife. and three children (daughters, whom he educated well) to New York.where they re latined respectably.ned and still alive.

IMPORTANT LAW SIIIT*.TRIAL OP AIANCH COURT. We learn froM the Nashville (Tenn.) Re , publican Banner, of the 30th ult. that a case has just been decided in the U. S.

'ROSPECT OF WAR ON OUR FRONTIER: —We 'have 'conversed with a gentleman just arrived in the city from Independence, Jackson county., Mo. We learn from him, 'that great excitement prevailed amongsttbe citizens Of that quarter, who were expecting an attack from the Osage Indians. They had sent several 'threatening messages to the frontier inhabitants, and had already committed eome depredations on their prop erty ; having stolen several hogs and cattle, and reports say some neg roes. Application had been made to the Governor for troops, and instructions had been issued by the Sec retary of State, (the Governor being absent at the time the application was made) to Gen. LUCAS to raise instantly 600 men from his division, which, we believe, consists o Jackson, La Fayette and Van Buren coun ties. The militia of the several' counties were to meet on Sunday last, to raise the number ((troops ordered by the comman der of the division. We are'rilso informed that General Atkinson had an interview with the Governor on this subject, and it Is probable that the condition of atliiirs in that quarter will require the immediate personal attention of himself or General Gaines.— The Osages say that they can bring one thousand warriors into the field, and that they have no fear of the consequences of the War. Our 'informant had not learnt the particular grievance of which they corn. plain. We shall wait with anxiety for fur ther intelligence. SAVAGE EXPERINENT. - lt appears from letters received from St. Louis, that the government, have at length succeeded in persuading about 500 Shawnee, Delaware, and Puttowattamie Indians to join the Flor ida campaign: Whoever was the author of this diabolical scheme deserves, and ought to receive the reprobation of all who consid er civilization and humanity worth. preserv ing. It admits the incompetency of the U. States with all its resources, and extended population to hold in check a few, veey few of the eons of the forest.. That horrible of fence so eloquently repulsed in the English House of Lords, by the noble Chatham, we are now about to perpetrate. So far from I endeavouring as becomes a Christian peo - - ple, to allay the barbarity and sanguinary; fury of Indian warfare, an appeal is made to the worst passions of men, who think it glo ry ruthlessly to destroy, and savagely to massacre their foes. Every chnstian, eve ry patriot, and every philanthropist sliould. solemnly enter his protest against this bru ise measure. A measure evidently ifitend ed for the destructi.al of both parties, for those who may escape the chance of war, will in all probability fall victims to the Jo 'cal diseases of the climate.—Sat. Es. POO. .CRICDULITY.-At correspondent of the U. litittei Gazette, very gravely inquires, whether a horsehair thrown into water, will become a living, indepeiident animsl.— Ue it respectable minister of the Got- From the .Beltirnore Sun pet bait been pet - rsuaderthat pciputir opinion is trite; that the .hairs thug treau343 become reel slipper eels or snakes.

A story is told of a gross indignity offered tan merito nous and excellent officer—a lieutenant in the American navy—on a, race ground, in the presence of a large concourse of stran gers, among them the of fi cers of the British ship of the - line, Rodnev;—of shirking his cane over this officer's bead, without the slightest cause, and the Ordering him on board his ship,aud suspending him from duty. The officer wrote a letter to the Secretary of the Navy, preferring charges against the Commodore for this outrage which the rules of the service required to be transmitted through his commanding officer; and Corn inodore F.lliult made this letter the basis of an accusation against the officer himselfl— Cliarge were preferred against the officer, and a court martial was cu!led on board the frigate United States, of which Capt. Wil kinson was the presiding oflicer.--The court, after hearing Ottptain Elliott, the de fence and the witnes4es, among whom were the officers of the British al ip, unan;rnously and honorable acquitted the American lieu tenant. Commodore Elliott then preferred another set of charges, founded upon the language used by the lieutenant in his writ ten defence before the court martial ! An other court martial wee held, and the same result followed—an honorable and unani mous acquittal. Such are the facts—which it is due to the public should be known ; com intuit is unnecessary.--Del. Jotiroul. AN INSTRUCTIVE. CONTRAST.--Eight years ago, we had a United States Bank of . 535,000,000 capital, $20,000,000 of s'pe• cie in the country, and a currency equal to any thank in the world. The United States Bank has been vetoed, the deposites removed into 'pet-banks,' and now, with $18,000,0U0 of specie iu She country, we have either no currency I'l . oll, or one of the worst io the.world. Eight years ago a man could travel through the United States and Canada, with bills of tho United States:Bank, and without having to pay one per cent. discount. Now the pet 'banks have from five to ten per cent. discouut.even in t lie States to which they Iv long. Eight years ago with 820,,Q0fl;000 asps cie in the country, they were Att par, and all the banks paid their notes in specie. Now, none of the Banks pay it; and one hundred and ten dollars of the pet bank pa per must be given for one hundred dollars in -specie. ' Eight years ago we had specie far change: now we have - thousands of tickets .called "shin plasters" or no change at all. Eight years ago, business, commerce and trade, all went on smooth and prOsperous. Now business is broken up, and bankrupt. cy , distress and poverty are staring people in the face. Eighi years ago, the expenses of Govern. ment were thirteen millions of dollars. Now, they are over thirty-two millions of dollars. -~.s►:o:a►-- UNPRECEDENTED PuNisumENT:—The Now York Sun of Tuesday states that Capt. Samuel R. T. Adams, of the ship fluster• litz, was on Saturday brought before Judge Betts, on a charge of most inhuman treat ment of a man - named CoJlins, who anted as steward or cook on board his ship. It ap peared, during the cursory examination which took place, that while the Austerlitz was lying at Key West by Capt. Adams' order, au' iron gag was put into Collins' mouth, and he was hauled up to the rigging and two hundred and fifty lashes were ad. ministered to him 1 The only reason or excuse given by Capt. Adams for this extra• ordinary and cruel degree of punishment; was that his coffee had not been sufficiently' clear 11 Judge Betts held him to bail in $lOOO, for 11;s appearance to answer the charge at the next session of the court. C£:0178 or Sr. Louis.—The census of St. Louis, as appears by the otfiFial returns made to the Mayor of the city, on the 26th of September,amounts to 12,040, within the limits of the city; and 2,213 in the suburbs— making an aggregate population in the city and suburbs of 14,253. A RELIGIOUS SCENE IN NEW ENGLAND. —A soleam , service was held a .few days since at Mattaponiett, for the loss of the Ca. duceus whale brig, which sailed thence with a crew of fitteen young men, (11 belonging to Rochester) who left there April 23,1838, and have never i.nce been heard of. Most of the relatives of the youths were present, and deeply affected by the sermon. EDUCATION IN AMERICA.--!t is the uni versal attention paid to education, and in the number of academical foundations, the A mericans exhibit a public spirit with which we .ere• proud to claim kindred. The great body of the people are, as regards the ru diments of knowledge, far in advance of the English. All can read and write; and to give his children an education, is the first concern of every parent. The oldest col lege in the United States, is Harvard Col lege, at Cambridge, in Massachusetts, foun ded in 1633,, only eighteen years after the first settlement at Plymouth. Yale College Wise founded in 1700. Besides these4here are in the Union, about fifty Colleges au therised moonier degreets- The number of benevolent and religious institutions in A merica supported by voluntary contributions, is almost incalculable. Their Bible Socie ties, Missionary Societies, Prison Discipline Societies, Penitentiaries, Asylums, • a. are the noble results and evidencet of a public, spirit, an" enlighten►d philanthropy,' and religious zeal, which tehtainly can 6a a parallel only in the _parent country. Carraost TO CoatzesromettiTs.—The postmaster general has decided, in a recent instance, that any writing upon the envelope of a newspaper, beyond the mere addreFs, subjects it to letter' postage. in the case which led to this decision, a newspaper was sent by mail addresso to "Joseph Chomp : son, with the respects of Ira Wilkins"— and the recipient had to pay letter postage for it, while the sender was subjected to a fine of five dollara.—N. Y. Com. Ado. The New York Express thinks that the appointment of United States Bank agents to reside at London, Liverpool and Paris, will be of immense advantage to the Bank, and of great convenience to the Public. It will effect. it is added, a new era in our ex changes with England. Under the preseut system, a bill on America is unknown in London. While the rate of exchanges with . every part of the continent is known and quoted, the great business of America does not command sufficient notice to alihrcl a quotation or the rate of exchange. W hen ibis agency is established. any person in England will be enabled to obtain a bill in London on America—a facility which is now greatly needed. GREAT Y E to.--Daniel Stet nrod, of Ohio enuety, Virginia, raised on his farm, near Wheeling, a crop of wheat, which, when ground, sold for as much money as would pay him VIS for the produce of each acre on which it was grown. ANOTHER COUNTERFEIT.-A counterfeit note of the denomination of ten dollars, pur- porting to be on the Bank of Baltimore, was offered this morning. and its character re cognized, nt Mr. Robinson's Exchange Office. The note, which is now before uy is numbered lE42—letter A. made payable to G. Keerl; signet; Win. Lorman,Presitlent; James Cox, Cashier,and dated 10th January 1837. It ►s in our judgment t pretty good imitation of the issue; except that the paper is nt once too dark and flimsy,and the name of the President, is somewhat too delicately touched, being wanting in that strength and freedme,wlitch mark the gem. ine signature: The engraving is tolerably good; 'and on the whole this spurious issue may deceive the unwary; though we think that the decided difference in the paper, and general appearance .of the note, as corapared with the genuine issue of that bank, will serve as a sufficient caution to persons ed in such matters.—Ball. Patriot. DESTROYINO WEEDS.— At this season of the year, when the attention of the farmer de generally directed to cleaning the pasture ground of docks, aloft other noxious and per nicious weeds,the foilowingeimple and easy method of extirpating them may not be Un acceptable to our agricultural readers:—Cut ()tithe top of -the root with the corner of a turnip hoe,and sprinkle thereon a few grains of common salt; and, such is the eine of the saline pritticion upon that part of the root remaining in the ground, that it decays in a short time and is pa longer troublesome. We may mention,that the above experiment has been repeatedly tried and has never yet failed of success. MESSES.

Considefable business appeared to be brought before this high ju. dicaory of the Reformed Church, as by the Sunbury Advocate of Saturday, the 30. h, we learn that the Synod was then still in session. One of its labors would be the ap• pointment of a Professor in the Theological Seminary, at. Mercersburg, in the place of Dr. MA.vea, resigned. "On DEAR, WHAT A SQUASH.

GENTLEMEN ' S COSTUME IN 1782.—The dress`of the venerated John Hancock is thus described in the book entitled "Familiar Letters on Public Characters." 'At this time, (June. 1782,) about noon. Hancock was dressed in a red velvet cap, within , which was oue of fine linen. The latter was turned up over the lower edge-of the velvet one, two or three inches.

OFFENCE, TRIAL AND CONVIC• rtort.—At t•:e recent term of the Circuit Courts in Orange County, James Decker was tried and convicted on an indictment for enticing away and marrying a girl under 14 . years of age, without. the consent of her pa rents. It appeared in. testimony that the parties walked several miles to the residence of a magistrate, whom they (mud absent, when the girt insisted upon going to the next town, saying that "if it was not fixed then it never would be."—They proceeded and were married. The young man was 19, and had no knnwledge of.the existence of the law which made his offence criminal. The penalty is imprisonment in the State or County Prison, at the discretion of the Cond.—Albany Ece. Journal, r. PRODICILOIIB INCREASE OF P.APER••••••M M. J. Burnet, the eminent engineer, speaks as follows respecting the paper machine of Messrs. Fourdrinier, the extensive English manufacturers: "I consider that it is one of the most splendid inventions of the age, considering what it does, and what it• is ca• pable of doing. W hen I say it makes 1,600 miles of paper in one day, that is to say, the machine altogether. it appears a monstrous thing; hut unless I exemplify it by something like that you can form no tdea of it ; it is a fact, that the 280 machines that exist can make six miles a day of paper, and multiply that by 2ko, it will be 1,680 miles. Now this is really prodigious; it should at the same time be borne in mind that this is not a thing that wilt glut the market, but is con sumetl daily." The Legislature of Illinois has passed a law to prevent steamboat racing. The law enacts that where death is caused by explo sion or otherwise, the captain and engineer of the boat are liable to be tridicted for matt slaughter.

WISE, of Virginia, during a liiscus sion in the House of Representatives of his resolution for the appointment ofn committee to investigate the causes of the delay in the prosecution of the Florida war, read several letters from officers of the Army. In one of these letters it was stated that a Steam boat Captain in Florida had a claim on the Government for one hundred dollars; that he made an agreement with the disbursing officer to alter the amount to five hundred dollars, and that Captain received one hun dred dollars as the reward of his agreement to this conspiracy to defraud the govern• ment of four hundred. This statement was supported by affidavits. It will be remem bqred by the reader that other developments of a similar character were made during the progress of this discussion. It is no difficult matter to squander the millions that have been spent in Florida by such means as these. The cormorants who are fattening upon the spoils, are no doubt perfectly willing that the Indiansshould continue to hold the Gov ernment at bey. Mr. Wtsn's resolution for the appointment of a committee of investi gation, it is supposfitl, will pass, and there can be no doubt that. it will make some start. ling revelations.—Frederick Examiner.
