I solemnly warn you against •. ;I ':''iliiscterrible concentration of power in the _bands of the Executive ! I see in it a most alarming danger—threatening, fearfully Threatening the liberties of the catintrv!— Executive power has become a very Culos- IM, which bestrides the land from ono end to the ,other; and, fellow citizens, if we do aot overthrow it, most assuredly it will crush as; and in crushing upi, in crushing the Pen • • ple, it will crush liberty, it will cru di the Constitution." On the above, the National Intelligoncer makes '• the following remarks: We have copied, in another column of to• ,day's paper, an extract from the remarks of the upright and able Representative in Con tigress -from Boston, exposing an abuse which bast gradually crept into Congress, which requires to be reformed altogether,and which to be universally condemned; only need, we presume, general publicity. The abuse con . .asists in the preparation of business, out of the 'walls of the Capitol, for the committees of • Congress to pass upon without examination, and present to their respective Houses as the results of their deliberation. To suck an extent has this practice prevailed, that the action of the leading committees (of the :Riese of Representatives especially) is a . *nine burlesque of the proper duties of those . committees, the members of which are call. led together once a week or once n month, as the case may be, to go through the me . *ions which imply deliberation, but form no part of its essence. A single circumstance, sliscloied in debate during the late session, will show how this thing works in practice. • The Committee of Ways and Means in :the House of Representatives, it will be re ,membered, brought into the House, as if in - Afischarge of a duty'imposed upon it by the preference to that Committee of a number of petitions from different parts of the country in favor of a National Bank,a resolution that it was inexpedient to establish a National Bank; and, not content with bringing in that proposition, they pressed its consideration supon the House, to the prejudice of other ibusiness, and 'finally forced a vote upon it, by means of the previous question. ,In the 4coursg, of the discussion of the resolution, it appeared, in reply . to a question from Mr. ADAMS, that not one of those numerous pet *films, from respectable bodies of the People, was ever read in the committee, or brought .to its view. As these petitions had not been tread when presented in the House, being referred, without reading,to the Committee, -and were not rcnd,nor even so much as look ed at, in the Committee, it follows that the introduction of this resolution, as the result .of deliberation on those petitions,was a mere party trick, simultaneously played off in both Houses of Congresso he result of out-of-cluor 'contrivance, and a contemptible mockery of - .deliberation and legislation. The same may be said of nearly every measure reported by the Financial Committees of both Houses, at the last Session of Congress. 811OCKING 'CASE Or MIIRD,P4I.--1110 Beaver (Penn.) Argus of Wednesday' week last says: It is with feelings of pain and regret, that we state that a fellow citizen has come to an untimely and bloody death. A young man named John Wilson, was shot on Tuesday night of last week, and died on Thursday evening. The.circumstances,as near as we .can ascertain Mem, are these: At a vendee • in that township, a number of people were collected,and some ofthem were pretty deep. ly engaged in drinking and quarrelling, which was kept up to a late hour, in which however Wilson was not concerned, except AEI a spectator. About 11 o'clock, he and ;two or three others prepared to depart, and .while in the act of starting, a report of a .pistol was beard, the ball striking W ikon an the back, and passing nearly through his :body. This pistol was found near the spot next day. Wilson was a young man of good character. about 24 years of age, and was married but a few months ago. William Beyberts and David Sweesy, residents, or late residents of New Brighton, were acres. :fed and lodged in prison on Sunday evening 41iarged with the murder of Wilson." CANADA.- appearances in Canada are rather unfavorable to the continuance of race and order. The movements of Mr. Papineau appear to be somewhat mysterious: he continues dexterously to keep himself out of the reach of the Government, while he operates successfully on the popular feelings. In the late disorder at Montreal, the loyal. lists evidently , had the advantage, and in the destruction of the *Amor the Vindicator, committed the greatest act of violence.

C4E'PTVSPITItr4TI. PENN. FRIDAY MORNING, DEC. 1, 1837, [Communicated. MURDER Or MR. LOVEJOY. Tits oxen is nos e! 'The fearless champion of Equal Rights has ended his earthly struggles. 'rho enemies of human freedom have glutted their yen geanco with his blood! Liberty ofspecch and of the press is completely prostrated in one of the States called free! Western freemen have be come the minions of Southern Slaveholders—the purchased instruments of assassination! And yet justice slumbers—no measures are taken to con vict the guilty! Public opinion is dtimb,and dares not manifest itself! Men cringe and cower like dogs beneath the lash! Fellow-Citizens! Fellow Freemen,(for we trust that the children of Penn are still free!) what say you to this Or do you regard yourselves as mere undoncerned spectatoral Harbor not the thought —it is delusive! Even here in your midst, an at tempt has been made to stifle free discussion—to stir up the spirit of mobocracy, and to humble you at the feet of the 'dark spirit of Slavery!' Why, the purity of the ermine of Justice itself has been sullied, by covering the shoulders of one whose voice in public stirred up the spirit of lawless violence! Do not the occurrences of almost every day force upon us the conviction, that what has been falsely called African Slavery is really American Slavery? That the continued slavery of the no groes will bring about the slavery of the whites! That if the North would keep free, the South must become free? That if we would preserve our own, we must respect the rights of others!— In one word, that we of the North are deeply, yes vitally interested in the question of the longer con tinuance of Slavery! What, then, is to ho done! Let us speak in languigo not to be misunderstood. Let us act in a manner as decided as the emergency demands.— Let us all rally under the common banner of free dom, and present an undivided front to the ene mies of inalienable rights. Agitate, discuss this subject, until the community is thoroughly en- 1 lightened and aroused. Let the beacon of truth blaze over the land, and freemen will rally to the rescue! One MARTYR has just senled his testi mony with his blood—but, thank Heaven, there are thousands throughout this land,from Maine to Missouri, who are. ready to pour out their blood like water, if the cause demands this sacrifice! Fellow-Citizens of Adams! Can you do better than to meet in the Court-house on the Second of December, and unite with the Anti• Slavery Socie• ty of this County in expressing your sentiments upon this deeply interesting subject? We respect fully submit this question to your consideration. The Alton Murder. al-Wo have copied a fe-v extracts from leading Journals on tho subject of the lawless murder of Mr. LOVEJOY and attempt to muzzle the press and gag the mouths of the frsemen of this free land! We shall continue to do so, from time to time, as nur limits will allow, that' the Mobocrats of this county, if there be any, may see the deep and ut ter detestation in which those are held who either countenance or encourage Mob Law. It is never too late to learn—Wisdom! From the Philadelphia Pennsylvanian 'I'EIE ALTON OUTRAGE. It is gratifying to observe that the dress generally speaks as it should in reference to the late horrible affair at Alton, Illinois; in which the Bev. Mr. Lovejoy lost his life.— The country might have been spared the disgrace of that ferocious and bloody trans action, had it not been for an apathy which must be regarded as criminal, both on the part of our journalists, and on the part of those to whom the execution of the laws is entrusted. If the first displays of the spirit which led to it—for the disposition to out rage and violence has been progressive— had boon reprobated and punished as they deserved, these crowning acts of bloodshed might have been prevented. Instead of that, however, mybbings, seizures of property, and even Lynchings, were either suffered to pass with impunity,or were openly applaud ed and encouraged. The impression was given that they who entertained and avowed obnoxious opinions were not entitled to the protection of the laws, and that to insult; to plunder, and to maltreat them was an evi- dence of high patriotic feeling, and of devo tign to the welfare of the Republic. Under these circumstances, it was but natural that the individuals thus made the sport of every gang of ruffians who thought fit to assail them, should arm in defence of their rights, and it was consequence equally natural that such results should follow as that which now gives a painful notoriety to the name of Al ton. It forms the certain climax to that series of violence on the same matter which had previously disgraced the place. After so many unpunished attempts to muzzle the press, accompanied by an unchecked des• 'ruction of property, nothing else could be anticipated but murder, and we trust that they who have heretofore thought proper to cheer on the rabh, the unthinking, and the reckless to every act of guilty outrage, will profit by the lesson now afforded them. , From the Philadelphia Herald & Sentinel Has it come to this, that a respectable in telltgent man _shall stiffbr "martyrdom in any cause merely because he differs in sen• timent from the ringleaders of "an infuria ted and lawless mob?" A re there no laws in there are, anti this gentleman had transgressed them, why "not try him by! these laws?—if he has broken no law (or whether he had or not) the mob ought not to have taken the law into their own hands. It is quite time there was a stop put to these out•breakings of passion—otherwise, who will be wife? Editors and Ministers of the Gospel are peculiarly exposed to this kind o f attack. Ulm Abolition editor is murder. ed with impunity to-day—an Anti-Masonic or a Masonic editor may be murdered to morrow—a Jackson or Van Buren or a Whig editor the next; and so it may go oz. until no man, however pure his principles or correct his inientionF, may be made to feel the revenge arm infuriated mob. The Governor of Pennsylvania in conver sation on a somewhat similar subject, last winter,remarked that "in every place u here a mob ora riot was about to take place, there are n few individuals who could frown it down and suppress it, and it is their duty to do so." Ile was right, and he migla have went further and suid,t hat it was in the pow er of the editors of public papers to su ppress this spirit of violence and this disregard of all law, human and divine. if the editors and ministers do not now raise their voices against these appeals to brutal and unlawful krce,t hey must prepare to submit one by oneanitil Me t tonted,opholy anarchy, shall trample with impunity upon liberty—upon liberty of the press—liberty of Speech--liberty of thought and of Devon. Such conduct ❑s that at Alton, would not be permitted to pass unpunished in any ()I' the most despotic governments in Europe— how much less then shall it he sufThred to pass unnoticed in a country of liberty and la ws. From the Madison (Indiana) Banner No matter what our feelings may be lo• wards the abolitionists, we cannot look upon this allitir in any other light than as reflect ing, the deepest disgrace upon the participa tors in it, as well as upon the free institutions of our country. While we may:believe that• Mr. L. was obstinate and headstrong in his course, yet we must acknowledge that he was doing no more than persevering in the exercise of a right guaranteed to him by the Constitution and laws of our country. The editor of the New York A merican thug speaks of the death of Mr. Lovejoy in Illinois. "If this American blood—shed in the de fence of the freedom of the press, and the right of every American citizen to think, speak and print his own honest opinions— be not signally vindicated by the apprehen sion and condign punishment of the murder• ers, our republican institutions, our boasted freedom, our vaunted safely of property and life, will becomeoind deserve to become, the scoff• and derision of the werld." From the Cincinnati Gazette Mr. Lovejoy was engaged in asserting his undoubted constitutional and legal personal rights —the rights of enjoy ing and protecting life, liberty, and propel ty. While thus eel gaged peaceably and quietly,and out of sight he was assailed,and because he made defence he was murdered. And now,when sleeping in his gave, Et ‘ martyr to the free and firm spirit with which ho stood up in defence of , the essential practical principles of free gov ernment and individual liberty, men have the heart to assail and degrade him. Alas! the prevailing poison that now produces this result, is a cancer on the body politic, de vouring life and corrupting principles! The high and bloody hand may for a season, for- bid a just exposi!ion of its dangers—but its day cometh—None of us know when—nor do we know when it is appointed we shall. Yet the day of the one is nut more certain than the day of the other. We subj7.in the notices of this deed of death, in several of the western papers. nThe following article from the Alba n) Journal is well written and contains much wholesome advice. Although coming from a Whig paper, yet we hope our friends will profit by U. From the Albany (N. Y.) Evening Journal Thc PresidenCy. Now that tho State Elections are over,we observe among some of our friends a dispe -1 sition to agitate the Presidential question. The reflection that the Whig party now have the power to elect a President, very naturally suggests the question, who shall be the Candidate? A further reflection,how ever, should, and we trust will, repress the inquiry. The single aim and duty of the Whig partyshould be to preserve their power. To do this we must save the ques tion of Candidates for President and Vico President until the fitting time for designat ing them arrives. We can all act with . better information and with more effect,en , h• teen months hence, than noW. The expe rience of the last three months 'shows how little we can know of what will be the politi cal aspect. damn and things, a year hence! All Presidential nominations, or presenta tions, or recommendations, at this early day, must refer to MEN rather than MEASURES. Ardent partisans whose impatient zeal hur ries them prematurely into the field, gener ally subject themselves to the mortification of defeat. PATIENCE is a high political virtue. The few who have the wisdom to practice it are most richly rewarded. The great, signal, successive, overwhel ming triumphy which now spangle the Whig banner,disp!ay the power and efficacy of UNITED efforts. For the lust four months we have done - battle—not as the partizans of WEBSTER, of HARRISON, or of CLAY—but as the opponents of misrule and corruption. And what has been accomplished? FOUR States which gave their Electoral votes to Van Buren, have been disenthralled! In THREE States, Whig candidates for Gover nor have displaced the Van Buren incum bents! In NINE States, where Elections have been held, overwhelming majorities are re corded against the Administration! And these 'are the fruits of untied exer tians. These are the results which crown the effirts cf men defending and protecting their rights and interests; and maintaining the institutions of their country. Shall we now, in full view of the ultimate! and glorious err:summation of all the 11,TeA of patriotism, be diverted from the great ob ject, by the premature discussion of distract. mg questions? We 'hope and believe not. For the next year at least, the question of who is to be President, should not be asked. Let us, for the next twelve, as we have for the last six months, exert all our f►cult►es and unite all our energies,to rescue the State and National Governments from Loco Foco and Regency desecration. The whole ques lion of Presidential Candidates has, by con►- mon consent, been wisely referred to a Na to - nd Convention. In the wisdom and pat riotism of that Conventi o n we a re wi lti ng 1,, confide. The Deleoates should assembh. unembarrassed by pledges and instructions With a view o;' the whole ground—a know ledge of the characters am l qualifications of the Candidates, and imbued with the semi mews of the People, they will 'nuke Norm nations in accordance with the popular will; and to such Candidates, the Electors will give a cordial, zealous, ut,ited and triune pliant support. From the National Intolligencer. ieliolas Diddle, Lsq. Messrs. Gales cg Seaton: My attention has just been attracted to an article in the lotelligencer of this morning, on the subject of the next Presidency. Whilst I agree entirely with the prominent point of Ow article, viz. that it is yet too soon for those who oppose the ruinous measures of the National Administration to select a candi date for the Presidency, I would suvest that it might tend greatly to insure success to embrace a wider range in the selection. I would, therefore, submit the name of Ai cholas Biddle. Although it is impel ero tot y to say who he is,yet I may be permitted to soy of him, that I think there would ho a peculiar fitness in his selection as the next President. Because he is universally acknowledged to possess great financial ability, when it is as universally believed that just such talent will he in great requisition for the next eight or ten years of our history. Because he is more universally known than any man in Americaounl,l thinkovould rout main! more of the suffrages of the coun t' y than any man in it, for the rea'sou that the people do know Pennsylvania has never yet had either of the first officers of this republic ciaderred on an , . of her citizens; and though I am op posed myself to local prejudices; yet I do know that many of the citizens of Pennsyl vania are somewhat sensitive on this point, and there is no man in the State more ideni lied with all Pennsylvania interests than Mr. ' Biddle. I have said that lir. Biddle is esteemed an able financier: but his talents are not confined to that subject. He has proved himself an enlightened legislator, having been a Senator in the Legislature of Penn sylvania. Mr. Monroe,late President of the united States, could measure and appreci• ate his capacity, and though then a very young man, and comparatively unknown to the country at large, selected him for the station which he has so long filled with such signal ability and advantage to his country. In short, Mr. Biddle is the gentleman, the scholar, the orator, the man of liberal, en larged, enlightened views on all national subjects ; his name passes as gold all over the civilized world; and he would, I think, be the very best selection which could be made to promote our country's best inter. ests; ano,for one, I should willingly confide the high trust of President in his hands. Washington City, Nov. 21. M. The Lancaster, (Ohio) Eagle mentions iliat the skeleton of a human body was re cently found in the ft-sure of a rock, in that vicinity, slightly covered with sand. It is recollerte , cl that in 1830 or '3l, a fine horse was found near the same place, with his throat cut. DEATII Or• SENATOR KENT.—The fol lowing article from the National Intelligen cer, shows that Maryland has lost one of her great men: • “With a saddened spirit we have sat down to announce to our readers the news, whieh r eached us when this paper was neatly ready for the press, of the death of Dr. JOSEPH KENT, the beloved and respected Senator of the United States from the State of Mary land, who was killed the morning of the 24th ult., by a 11111 from his horse, us he was rid ing over his limn, or in the neighborhood of it. We have not the heart, if time allowed us, now to portray to our readers, in fitting terms, the public and private virtues which endeared Governor Kent (so usually called from his having formerly filled the office of Governor of his State) to all who knew him. Of all the world,none of his friends—scarce ly excepting his wile and his children—can have more just reason to mourn over his death than the People of this city, and we among them, who had ever found in him a disinterested, last, and faithful friend." 'Phe National Intrillig,encer of Monday last, closes an admirably written biographi cal sketch of the late Governor Kent, with the following notice of his funeral : "The remains of Dr. KENT were yester day (Sunday) fiillowed to the grave from the family residence by his mourning kindred, and besides a large concourse of his neigh• bore and friends, by the Officers of the Sen ate of the United States, and the Mayor, .the ex-Ilayors,and the Presidents and seve ral members of both branches of the City Council of Washington. A body of sincerer mourners never assembled to celebrate the funeral obsequiesof a beloved friend,snatch ed from life in the midst of a career of un sullied honor, unimpeachable probity, and widely extended usefulness." The New Orleans Commercial, Bulletin of the 15th inst., furnishes the following in. telhgenco extraordinary: "OUR NEXT PRESIDEXT.—Wo learned. a few days since, from a gentleman, who has for some time held an important office in Texas, end has been on terms of intima• cv with the, chief manistrate of that republic, th 140kvi ,,,, (hr.!: Ile 4,ivs art! Persil„ n r Houston's opinion is, that the only reason wilt; Mr. Van Buren opposes the admission of Texas into the Union is formed on` his apprehensions lest the hero of San Jacinto should aspire to the highest office within'the gift of the American people, tend thus defeat the re-election of the present incumbent." From which it is clearly manifest that President Houston, the hero of San Jacinto, is a particularly modest individual. We should like to buy him at the current value, and sell him at that which he places on him• self. PENNSYLVANIA Gni rolt ATioNs•—By report made to the Refiirin Ciinvent ion now sitting in that State, to revise the Coastitu• lion, it appears that the Legislature of Hem ocratic Pennsylvania" has granted no less than 1142 acts of inciirporatton since the year 177 n. We presume, abiint nine tenth , of these "monopolies" have been granted by Democratic Legislatures, or since the sear 1 ,4 00, from which period "the republican party" has been almost constantly in the ascendancy ; in the Ke)stone State.

Of the 53 coon• ties into which the State is divided, that of Philadelphia, which is perhaps the smallest in territorial extent, contains the largest number of taxables, it having 25,150. The next in population is Lancaster county,which has 17,100 taxubles; then Allegheny, which has 13, - 97; and then comes in "Democratic Berlis,"--which once went to the battle of the ballot boxes under the inspiring war cry of "MUTILENBERG and No Free Schools!" That faithful, not to say promising county, ifjudged by thi Ssentiment, numbers 11,740 taxables. The next in population is Ches ter, which numbers 11,1 M taxables; then Bucks, 10,450; then !Montgomery 9,744; and then York, which is eighth in point of population, and has 9,550 taxable inhabi• tants.

PENNSYLVANIA CANALS. - W 0 learn from the Harrisburg Telegraph, that the Board of Canal Commissioners have ordered the water to be drawn out of the canals on the sth of Dedember next, for the purpose of repairs. The navigation on the Pennsylva' fin canals will theiefore close for the season on the 6,ortli of December. Another paper states that a very brisk business is expected to be done on theie canals in the spring. The amount of tolls collected on the seve ral e.mals fir thy! week ending on the I I th instant, is stated sit $30,637. The tolls on the several railways, for the same period, amount to $14,772. The charge for motive power (furnished by the State on these rail. roads ) $11,121. Aggregate receipts of tolls for the week, on canal and railway, $56,530. THE Ricci AND POOR.—Commenting on Gen. Jackson's declaration that "The bless ings of Government ,like the dews of Heaven, should descend equally on the rich and the poor," the Washington Pa. Reporter says: tinder the Vim Buren dynasty:, members of Congress, all of whom are in ;Anent cir eninstahr,,s, receive their nay in Gold (end Silver—but the laborers in the employment of Government,and Revolutionary. Pension ers are obliged to mite Shin Plasters or nothing. But this same dynnsty claims to ho the democracy of the laud. PUZZLE run LAWIEIIB.—In one of the coun ties of Hungary, a case has been produced by na ture, which furnishes the Hungarian lawyers with an opportunity to exercise their ingenuity: "Ono steel) declivity of the river Hermit), lay two vineyards. one ahoy° the other; the higher one detaching itself from the rock, glided down the declivity upon the lower vineyard which it now entirely covers. Tho quthition is,who is the ownor of this vineyard, and who is considered the loser?" CrWctt,Ess.—A number of the Members of Congress have already arrived in the city, (chiefly such of the Western members ns have improved the recess to visit their East. ern fellow citizens) and we have little t oubt but a quorum of both Houses will be in atten dance at the Capitol on Monday next, (the first Monday in December.) As the organization of the two Houses is complete and no time will he required either for the qualification of Members, or the choice of Officers, it appears probable that the usage, of the Executive Message to Con gress being transmitted on the second day of the Session,will on this occasion be depar ted from and that the Message will be sent to both Houses on the Monday instead of the Tuesday of the first week of the Session.

Sam Jones is now considered the whole head and front of the Seminole war. Those who know him represent him a "great ras cal." Our readers will recollect that some time last spring after the capitulation of Ali canopy, seine negroes came in who repor ted that the Seminoles had deposed Mitano py, and elected Sam Jones, in his stead. It is reported that the Micasukies are determin ed to remain in the country at all hazards. The Florida returned from Musqutto on Sunday last. Brig. Gen. Hernandez and suit came pas sengers. Twenty-one negroes belonging to Messrs. Cruger and Debi yster, Maj. Heriot, and, the Estate of Maj. Woodruff, were bro't up in the Florida. The negroes state that a large number of Indians are assembled near Indian River ready to fight. Two Indians were brought into town yes terday who were captured on the west side of the St. Johns. They confirm the report of the negroes who were brought from Mos quito, that the Indians are concentrated and waiting for a fight. They say they are in number about two thousand. STILL LATEE.—The last advices state that the troops collected at Tampa Bay, amounting to about 2000 men, had march. ed into the Indian country. We have little doubt that the war will be finished this cam paign, without much opposition on the part of the Indians. REV. JOStilio.EC wow. TO THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN THE IT.

Abyssinia iiiit . country inhabited by a po pulation of abouktwo millions of Christians, atid,one milliou'Of Gala and Shangala, Pa gans and Mahometans. But it is chiefly to the Christians I wish to direct and fix your attention. The Queen Sheba, horn at Alcurn in Abyseinnt,:afilieted with a heavy sickness in her legs, (1 .relate the story as 1 heard it fronisthe•Abyssinians,) paid a visit to king SOLOMON, of whose medical skill she had heard kgreat deal, for the purpose of hear tug •kris - wisdem, , and getting of her disease; She remained with Solomon for'se veral years and returned in company with the son which she had born to him, whose name was Menilek; ns both had become Jews, they established the Jewish religion in Abyssinia, and there can he no doubt of • the fact, for they observe the Jewish reit- L!ion, beside the ehristian„tilf this moment. Frumentius Salarne,called by the Abyssini ans, converted them to Christianity—their form is Episcopal, but the Bishop is never an Abyssinian, but, a Copt—they send after the decease of such a Bishop, who called ilboono by the Abyssinians, to the Patri arch of the Copts, residing at Cairo, a pre. sent 016000 dollars,for whim h he c onsecratit's one of the priests Bishop, who then goes to Gondar, where he receives every year atom' :30,000 dollars, actually for doing nothlng else but ordaiiiinmr some of the Abyssinians na priests. .k kind-hearted and pious, really pious and zealous missionary of the Eris‘ copal Church. might do a great deal oegoad by instructing the youth and preachit.gi— hitherto nottiim hits hei.n done a trton! and it is therefore my ardent desire that a missionary:should go there; the people are good natured, and would be willing to be taught as their innocent prejudices are not attacked. Meshed, Capital of Khorassdan,is a not h.. er place to which a missionary should be sent; this city contains about 150,000 in habitants, and is a celebrated pilgrimage of Mohlinedans, of the Sheah sect. There are also about 2000 Jews, very anxious to converse with Christians about religion. A w issrmary could easily get R convenor rt bonse there fur the establishment of a School and a Chapel, and I have no doubt that the Persians themselves would send their chit dren there from all part-,nod also the JeW3. I would advise the missionary societies to reennimend their missiim.iries not to take presents frien the A ssinian Princes, for those presents are not given by the Prince himself but extorted from the poor sohj-!cts, and I have 110 doubt IllUt the cause of Chr is tianity has been disgraced in Abyssinia by n certain European, who came there, and hr~vnrg received an order from the Prince Oabea, to take a quantity of grain from the inhabitants of a certain village, and those inhabitants too poor to comply with the de mand, the covetous European has put in irons it poor widow of the village fir not having given him the quantity of grain , ran• led to him by the Prince! the A hysiniims therel:ive mused and hated such Europeans! A missirmary of your ,•ociety, will therefore do a great deal of gond, by not only not re• ceiving such kinds of presents, but also by feeding the poor as the Rotonn Catholic l ois sionaries do every where they go. But whilst hospitality ought to be practised by the missionary he ought not to entertain those people with wine; the Abyssinians re• late of an European who drank wine the whole of the day, and called the belle has 'rife. At Saraklts in Toorkestrion, five days journey from Meshed, a M ission may easily be established by a Al issiounry, who knows somethings of medicine and otie at Kleine', capital of the king of Orgontsh In 7oorfres• tuna near the Caspian sea; for the Osbek Tartars are a very good natured people in• deed. Bakke:a, the capital of the kingdom of the same name, is another place, where a Mission would be of the highest itnpor• lance. 'l'he place contains about 290.000 inhabitants of °Ark Tartars, Taishik, No guys, Persians, and Affghauns; it is resort• ed to by all the difrerent nations around it, of Persians, people of 'rash hand, Cashuwer, .11 ahore, and Cheeorpoor. the peot•le very polite, and good natured, and n guest is eon• sidered us a sacred person, and the:crow every attention is paid to hitn, as long as he does no. neddle with the politics of the coon try. An American ought to take particular care nut to preach Republican sentiments at Bokhara, for if he does, he will only by do ing so, shut up to himself every door of use fulness, and procure himself free lodgings in some dungeon of Bokhara. I took par• ticular care in inculcating upon the minds of those Jews who believed in Christ the im portance °fraying for the king of Bokhara, and-to be loyal subjects to the existing pow• er; and to the Republican Toorcomauns in the desert, I preached respect and regard to their elders, for though my principles are in favor of monarchy and aristocracy,l nev ertheless believe it to be my duty to enforce upon all obedience and conformity to the government and laws under which they are placed! In Cabool, in Alfghanistaunoupdher missionary station may be erected; for Doost Mohammed Khan, tile chief of Cahoot is au intelligent and powerful prince, and the Afighauns themselves are an hospitable peo ple. Cashmer• is another place where thousads would crowd around the missionary to hear the message he has to proclaim. Near Cash meor is a province called Kashgar, in Lit• tle Tibet, whose king pretends to be a des• cendant of Alexander the Great. Ho is - warm friend to Europeans, and would try to make the stay of au American at Kashgar in all respects very agreeable. Should two missionaries be sent out together, not the least spark of jealousy must subsist between thorn, for this would render the whole mis sion contemptible in the eyes of those na• Lions! Lot none of them assume seni or ity, but let them go out together as brothers.— There was none more perfectly free from -all unholy jealousy than Tiny Fisk and Jo inns King of the American•fleard of Corn.

YESOIZDAY—STORM , -- ' ' GRAND ILLIJMINATION—GALE—IN. • UNDATIONI;OSS OF LIFE—DtS TRUCTION OIejr.ROPERTY. • Rarely in the annals oriliiht - eily, have so many important events been-erd*led - into :so short a space of time,asthirl4ich•have .occitrred in the last twenty - Atfiqinurs. The •morning was warm, but lowering,-yet the firing of cannon 'commenced, and*l.S.'3tept with spirit; and the prepkatichts Went on with vigor for the illumidi . dions in the even ing. Towards noon, however; the rain pour •ed down in torrents. Previous to this the wind bad been in the southeast, and a fleet of nearly 20 sail went up the Lake, in beau• tiful style. About 1 o'clock the wind chop. ped round into the S. W., and there appear ed to be a prospect of a pleasant evening; but those' who were acquainted with these matters, frOm the swell of the Lake,•and the rapid rise of the water,predicted the gale, which commenced blowing in all its fury as soon as night set in. i)arkness had hardly closed around us when the city, was again in a blaze of light from the splendid illunattahuns in every quarter.. Tar barrels wore burnt, bands of music patrolled the streets, cannon were fired, mid rockets sent blaz:ng through the All this time the wind was inr•reaging in fury, t.li peopl e could Minify keep their foot• jo g the reeis— and the water rising to oled height about the docks, JOSEPH WOLF. . MissiSrinnito the Jews. and lower Rita of the city. Amid the roar of the winds and waves, were heaid the shrieks 'of drowning wretches, men strug gling with the rising waters, and little chil dren waked from their warm pillows by the flood, from which, amid the storm and daik ness, there was no escape. These persons resided in some miserable sheik of buildings on the exposed neck of land between the creek and the lake. The Common Council of the city directeti two years ago, that no houses should be built there unless they were based on good brick or stone foundations at least 8 feat high. The title to the land is disputed in many instances, .ind temporary buildings have been put up on blocks at the four corners, and severai families had gone into them fur the sake of obtaining possession. It has been a wonder that t'.ey would ri4k their lives in frail Imminent:, for from their appearance one woulJ iniagire! that a common wind would priNti ate tbein. Sams' oft use I his morning, were floating about the harbour, while here and there lie the broken fragments of those hat were not strong enough to resi,a the lot ee of the inundation. Some ten or twelve hou• ses —part of Them unichalated —were wash ed completely Irian their foundatio.is across the creek, and are now strewed about in every direction. Several vessels were atran• ded high and dry, on the beach. The schr. Edward Bancroft lays up in the centre of Ohio street. She even dragged her anchor Arline distance up into the city.. The steam ferry boat lays high aground,and considera bly- damaged. The 0. P. Ste ride, the Bran. dywine, and the Texas, schooners, where driven on shore,but not materially damaged The, loss Of life—the most dreadrul por tion of the catastrophe—cannot, at presort, be ascertained. Five bodies have been brought to the watch house,but many proba lily are not discovered. Those are Iwo chit dren of John 'Germain, a youno man, name unknown, the wife of Wm..lialson, and a colored woman. Wm. Judson, lived in a house near the stone building, font of Me chanic street. When his house was destroy ed, his two children were in bed, and have not yet been foudd.. Ile arid his wife got on the canal bridge, where she perished of the cold, and he escaped by swimming to a pile of boards, from which he was rescued. We saw him this morning, wrapped in a quilt,looking among the wreck of his dwell ing, which had floated into the canal, for the bodies of his children. Many other vessels, ste•lm beats, &c. are more or less damaged,as well as most of the warehouses on the docks. The loss of prop erty is difficult to estima'e. It is strewed in every direction. About twenty five build• togs such as we have described, were either totally destroyed or torn from their founda tions by the flood. Several vessels and steam boats must have been on the hike, where it was hardly pes• sible for any thing to live. It is rumored that the Cleveland went down the river,and is safe. We wait anxiously fc,r further particulars P. S.—The New *.e:ngland steam boat came in this morning. Reports—left Cleve land at 2, P. M. vesterday,tn company with the Constitution; the latter is not yet heard from. The New England rode out the whole gale without damage. The schooner Jas. G. King came in last night. She reports schooners Panama, Virginia, Favorite and Brandywine, outside. The latter beached —the rest have not been hear ! from. A woman in ono of the houses clung to the window sill, wi'h the water up to her chin, and supported her 3 children, who clung to her back,but these one after another dropped off; the last but a shot' time before aid reached her, at 4 o' lock this morning. Another woman came safely across the e reek on a stick of timber, _t it h her infant in her arms. A man left his family on the roof of his house,and swam for a boat to take them off. It was the lust he ever saw of them. DISTURBANCES IN CANADA.—The corn motions in the British Province of Lower Canada have at length resulted in open in surrection against the royal government. ft appears that after many arrests of the "agitators" had been made at Montreal, a constable, with 18 members of a volunteer company as his assistants, was sent out to St. Johns to arrest Messrs. D' Avignon and Demaray. Having efi•cted their object, they were returning, but on their road were tired on by a party of 200 in a field on the right, armed with rifle's end muskets and protected by a high fence. The insurrec tionists effected a rescue of the prisoners and the officers were compelled to retire, some of them wounded. On the next day a consid erable military force was dispatched from Montreal, who met several single persons armed and several bodies of men who how• ever retired ab the Queen's troops ap proached. l'he latter succeeded in getting several prisoners who were placed in separate confinement at Chambly. These are our latest accounts from Canada; the result of these muvements will be looked for with not a little interest and anxiety by the citizens of this country. Many of the Can ada liberals have loft the Province and taken refuge in our territory. m..stly at Burlington, Vermont.—York Republican. BAsn COIN.—A New Orleans paper says at this moment there is circulating in the country far more counterfeit specie than paper money. A western gentleman states that almost half the specie circulation of Alichigan, Illinois and the vicinity is bogus, a term to express spurious coin. LOOK.

Nearly the whole of Tuesday last was taken up in discussing about inviting the diffarent Clergymen of the City to open the Convention with pray er. The following resolution was finally adopted —57 to 33: "Resolved, That the Convention he, and is hereby authorized to make such arrange ments as may be expedient for procuring the attendance each day, of some one of the Clergy of this City, to open the session of the Convention each morning with prayer." 3z,7•We have received several copies of the "Baltimore Commercial Transcript," a daily paper published in the City of Pahl more.

The meeting was opened by an up. propriate address from the Mayor, who pre sided on the occasion. After various ad. dresses from members of the, different dole. gut ions, the meeting adjourned to Niblo's Saloon, where they partook ofa sumptuous dinner.
