Major DOWDJINGII LETTER. From the 'Neer York Express LOG CABIN NORTH BEND To my fellowlitizens from Nex Orleans to Dowingedle, and from Salt Water to Me Lake Waters up and down the country and cros wise: Fa Citizens—Ever since the world begun all the hunts and chases tell'd on in all parts of creation hpin't been only a more flea hunt to the real Fox CHASE that has just been cnmpletrd in these United States, by the grace of God free and independent at laut. It has been known to every body that fur the Is 4 ten years it has been impossible to hatch eggs, or raise poultry, c( to trust any thing at large of that nature—night arier night and day arter day—Fie-it arter nest and chicken arer chicken, was destroyed by the foxes, and they got so bold brazen at last they would come into the poultry yard in open day, or any where else, and kept the hub feathe'd tribe kackling pretty much all the while. At first the talks got traps and dogs; hut it gut so nt last, that the foxes got so nurn'rons it was jist as much as a dog's life was worth to attack 'em—and folk 4 begun to despair—especially as it was found out that all the younger foxes g ot their directions from oxt: RALE six Fox, who as yet never had been trip'd or trap'd, or driven to his hole, ho was every were, in every State almost at the Namo time.— And wherever he was reported to be, there it was found all the other foxes was most knowing and most impudent. So it was conkluded that it was no use to try and trap the common run of foxes, but if possible, make a general rally in all the States, and give chase to the OLD Fox, especiallk—and not give up till he was run to his hale, and then dig him out—for it was thought if he was only caught, all the rest would be pret. ty scarce. Well, this matter being agreed upon, the first thing next to be done was to select a gond long winded leader of :he chose —one who would not give out, and whose I horn could bo heard furthest. And so we all agreed upon Old Tip—and wo got him• pretty well mounted, and ha sounded his' . horn, and its echose went up and down rivers, and across valleys, and over moun tains, till folks all about creation got well acquainted with the sound,-- and on a given day, they assembled at all their stations, 'and put in practice the few general rules, ofthe chase,, capering a little round, and having a few small chases just to git nimble, —and then on a signal from Old Tip's born, they all started, and sich a chase as I said afore as then begun, the hull created world has never before seen—for it was an everlasting wide and long country to chase over, and no ono knowing yet where the fox would first break kiver, all hands at first ! went to work beating the bush: The first track was struck in Louisiana, and about 000 give chase there, and run him out of that. State, and he streaked it away North as hard es he could clip it, and knowing all the secret by-ways escaped till he reached The State of Maine. The Maine boys were wide awake, and as soon as they struck his track there, they raised an almighty shout and heaved him off. He then sheered rate New" Hampshire, where they are pretty much ow. Fox--and there for a spell took breath. But hearing the coming shout he struck for Vermont in hopes the "Green Mountings" would fur nish a River—but they were all awake there, and about B,ooo' folks jined the chase, and remained no longer in Vermont than he could get out on't. "Wall," thinks he, "this is pretty toe work, and otT South again, for they must be friendly there, see ing as bow I tell'd all the foxes to be civil to the Southern Chickens;" and so he slipt along to Georgia. The Georgia folks, hawsomever, not liking the - nature of the breed, had already called their fox hunters together, and on the filet show of n track they all opened and about 5,000 give chase there in a most noble stile, and lie turned tail and run towards the middle States. In passing through the old Norte State of Carolina, he finds things too wide awake there to stop a, intuit—and just so it continued all the way through Mary land, Delaware and Pennavlvania—though he bothered the hunters plagily in Pennsyl vania, for they don't understand fox hunting much in that State—except in a few coon. ties, especially in Bucks county—and that is the reason why in that county they always have good poultry and plenty on't. So he continued North. In Connecticut and Rhode Island they gave him an amazing close run—and no time to stop or double, and eenumost caught him. As for Nlitssa• chusetts, he knew pretty well ho stood no chance there, and so you see but one strait chase across—and taking a bite is New Hampshire, he tried for New York. and run considerable well and comfortably along the Hudson, but such a howl as met him in the %Vest was a shiveror for him, and he sheered ofFlor Ohio; but that was out oft he frying pan ,into the hot ashes—and lankier , around him and seeing all ready in the State—some 10,000, some 15,000. some more, someless—scouring the country and prepared to track—thinks he "its no use--' to the victors belong the spoils,' was the doctrine of my party, and I may as well go for it to the last," and he made a dead track t o the Log Cabin of the North Bend, with about 30,000 Buckeyes nrter him, and Old Tip at the head on 'em. I was standing near the door and I seed him coming, and now. thinks - I—here goes for Log Cabin mercy and hospitalite. and I opened the door and in he strealed—and jist then up came Old Tip 01l ofa lather. "lie is safe " says I, "Gineral—we have got him snug at last." 'Wall," soya the Gineral to his triends. "feller citizens, the chase is up; the old fox is in my poseseton, and 1 hope that you will be satisfied that the Major and 1. will take good care or him, and give a good account of him. lie is not in condition ju3t now to be held up by the tail—he has had a hard run and is considerably ailed; but hell do on more harm—let all go home and let their poultry oilt as iu good times. You will not be troubled by foxes for a good spell to come, and ifyou aro it's your own fault, not mine." And with that all fined ►n three hearty cheers for (•Tippecanee and Tyler tou•'—and thus ended one of the greatest fox chases ever beam tellid on afore, and I have only told a very small part on't. Yours, feller citizens, J. DOWNING, Major, &c. TUE COLONY OF LIBERIA AND ITS PROS PECTS.—Liberin has n population of 4,500 Ameria.m.c(lonists and 30,000 natives. It hne nine settlements or towns: the two most distant being 300 miles apart; on the sea coast—the others at various distances, in termediate. Its territory, procured by purchase, contains nearly 500,000 acres of land, end ether large tracts can be easily obtained of the native owners in the same way. The government is modelled after our own, and is purely republican, admin istered almost wholly by coined people. Agriculture is thriving and greatly oxtail. ding. Four printing presses are in operation. Twenty one churches are organized, some of them composed of native converts.— More than thirty ordained ministers are en• gaged in religious- teaching. Many Sab• bath Schools aro regularly attended. And on the whole the colony never appeared better than now, nor so entirely attractive to its friends on the ground of its great use fulness. CAUTION.—Where potatoes are boiled for hogs the water in which they are boiled should never he given them, but thrown en• tirely away, because it contains deleterious or poisonous properties, a fact not generally known. ELECTED.—The New York Commercial states that the Rev. Henry B. Bascom, 1). D., professor of moral science and belles lettres in the Augusta College of Kentucky, has been unanimously elected to tho presi dency of the College of Louisiana, at Jack son. - ...•••10, 0 00.4.• "Mr. Van Buren loves tho people."— Glebe But the people don't return his passion. The poor man's crossed in his love. The London Courier notices a curious occurrence which recently took place in that city. Mr. Roland Lyman, a jeweller, left a gold ring, with a piece of paper for a label, lying within it, upon his bench.— The next morning he found that a large black spider, from the ceiling overhead,had attacked his web to the paper, and raised that and the ring one inch. In the course of tt week he raised it 3 inches. He was then driven away by a small brown spider. Another black one afterwards attached his web to it, and in three days raised it to the height of fourteen inches from the table.— The weight of the paper and ring was twelve grains. ---*.e o em.— EXTRAORDINARY CIRCIIIISTANCE.—Last Week, Dr. Hamilton, of this city, extracted a large needle from the side of a man about forty-five years of age. The patient from whom it was taken, on applying to the doctor, stated that he fad some time pre viously received a severe.fall, and, from the pain he suffered ho conceived that one of his ribs had been broken. The doctor, on examining the part, found it mach swelled, and to the touch it appeared as if a portion of the lower rib had been fractured. The sufibrer anxiously entreated him to open it, but the doctor fearing that such an .opera lion might be attended with danger, refused to comply. He had recourse, however, to poulticing and other treatment, and in four days afterwards, on examining it carefully he discovered the point of the needle pro. truding, and succeded in extricating it without subjecting the patient to any violent pain. The needle does not appear much worn, but it is greatly discolored, being quite black—it is very smooth and sharp at the point, and he is sapposed to have swallowed it, probably in food, four or five years ago. The man on its removal, felt at once relieved, and is now perfectly recov ered. He had been complaining for eleven weeks before it wee extracted, and lately was scarcely able to move.—[Londonderry (Ireland) Paper. • Dtson:warm—A disgraceful scene occurred on Saturday in the Court of Com mon Pleas. Mr. F. %V. Brewster was addressing the jury . in a case in which he was counsel, and in which he was opposed by Mr. H. Hubbell. Mr. Brewster, in commenting on a paper which ho field in his hand, and which Mr. Hubbell had drawn up, remarked ''that beforo it went to the jury, he would wish to have it purged of its falsehoods," or words to that eflect. Ou hearing which, Mr. Hubbell arose, and asked him whether he meant what he said— that there were falsehoods in the paper; and he'ore Mr. B. could well reply, struck him (Mr. B.) in the mouth. A scuffle ensued, but they were parted by the officers of the Court, and Mr. Hubbell, by order of the Court, placed ia the custody of the Sheriff: He will have a hearing before the Court to day.—Phi/ad. V. S. Gas. Fnoit Maxrco.—The schooner Hero brought papers to the 3d instant. They publish accounts from Mexico to late in October. The Vera Cruz Censor congrat• ulates its readers that the difficulties be tween the British Minister and the Mexican Government have been finally settled.— The mooted questions were. the interior duty 15 per cent, and the impr►sonment of English subjects in California—on both of which points the Mexicans have yielded. Conquest of Texas.—The Censor (which is St. Ann's paper) spculates on the con• quest of Texas. It is computed that ten ships or war and 12,000 men will be neces nary to accomplish that object: and it is ad muted that, it will be very difficult to obtain that number of men and ships. The only dependence fiir her means of carrying on the war, is the Customhouse; and it is ac• knowledged that there aro so many smug• glers through Yucatan and Texas, (through which provice a vast quantity of goods is introduced,' as to reduce the amount of duty in tho Mexican ports to an amount merely nominal. The Censor avers that Yucatan and Tor ii are provinces of the United States; that the government at Washington is opposed to the Mexican system: that it cannot be doubted that Yucatan has beep revolution ized by New Orleans, and that Anaya was sent thence to operate against Tobns• ca. The Censor man lashes himself into a furious passion, and sees double. Ho says )laldondo is aproaching Tobasco with 14. 00 mon, that his vangurad of :380 men,havo already entered Illasuspana, that 170 under Dun Justo St. Ana, woro approaching through'Tubatalpa; 800 men were going by way of Chiltepee; and by water, Anaya, with her Texian steam ships.is approaching, nll of which vessels are loaded with Texian soldiets.—N. 0.

Jour. The Legislature of New Hampshire will convene on Wednesday - next, to commence a session of forty days.' During the session U.S. Senator w,ll be chosen.- According to the N. H. Courier, there aro several aspirants to that situation, viz: the present incumbent, Elem.) Hubbard, Isaac Hill, J. P. Hale, Isaac Waldron and though last, not least, Levi Woodbury, the present Sec retary of the Zreasury, AN UNWELCOME VISITOR.—On Sunday evening, the 18th mist. while the family of Mr. Ilarrisoi, Lucas Euclid, were prepar ing for supper, a furious strom arose and blew down a large white wood. tree which fell directly heroes the house, (log) but in- jured no one; although the dishes on the table, and most of the valuables in the'house got a terrible smashing.—Cleave/and Her. POPULATION OF PITTBDURO.—The popu lation of Pittsburg . including dependent villages in the vicinity is computed at 60,- 000, places of religious vifership 60; schools 100; papers 20; banks and insurance com panies 9; employing a capitol of $5,000,- 000; daily line of stage coaches and canal boats, 20; single and double lines of canal freight boats, 11; annual arrivals and depar tures of steam vessels engaged in the river trade, 2,soo;annual amount of manufactures and mechanical productions, $12,000,000; annual sales in.the various departments of merchandize, $13,000,000; annual amount of freight on merchandize and produce passing through the account of nonresident owners, $3,000,000. The Mobile Chronicle states that a few days since, a little Frenchman came over to that city from New-Orleans, with a trunk of jewelry which he hired a negro to carry fur him. The negro started ahead, and the Frenchman lost sight of him beforc he reached Royal street, were he over took him—bUt 10l and behold, the trunk was gone. The nogro's story is, that as he was waiting for the Frenchman to come up, two gentlemen took the trunk, paid the 'porter. age, and told the negro as they had but a short Distance to go, they would carry it themselves. The negro presuming the men were the real owners., and not dreaming of any rascality, delivered the trunk, pocketed the pay, and was about starting hnine.. : — The poor Frenchman has lost his fortune, his jewelry being all his store, and valued at $l2OO. The New York Courier says:—"lt was stated a few weeks since, as the . remark of Mr. Van Buren to a gentleman of this city on a vi s it to Washington, that he was "yet to experience the first moment ofuneasinesa in regard to his re-election to the Presiden cy." Strange as the sensation may be, we presume that our •vorthy chief 'magistrate has by this time enjoyed it. LENGTH OF DAYS —A memoir addressed to the Academy of Sciences at Munich, by Dr. Tenzen, contains the following notice oftho length of days in the principal cities of Europe. At Berlin and London the longest day has 16i hours, and the shor test seven and a half hours. At Stockholm and Upsel, the longest has eighteen and a halt hours, and the shortest five and a half. At Hamburg, Dantzic and Stettin, the lon gest day has seventeen hours, and the shor. test seven. At St. Petersburg end Tobolsk; the longest has nineteen and the shortest five hours. At Tornea and Finland the longest day has twenty one hours and a, half, and the shortest two and a half. At %Vardorbue, in Norway, the day lasts from May 21 to July 22, without interruption,; and in Spitzbergan the longest day last, three months and a half. RARE VEGETABLE.-- , Mr. Join Mitchel, of Charleston, has entitled himself to the et edit of introducing a new vegetable into horticulture. Ho exhibited a fine specimen ofthe YAM MAssrcoT,or St. Domingo potatoe which grows on a rich and luxuriant vine, with largo heart•ehaped leaves, the vine itself, and not the root, bearing the fruit.— The potatoe, when cooked, exhibits a bright gamboge color, and is superior in flavor to the Irish potatoe. Mr. M. has also suc ceeded in raising this new vegetable from the seed—the common mode of planting it being by cutting of the fruit. SPENDTHRIFTS AND MISERS.—Each of these are contemptible. The world is apt to think the spendthrift the most coron3p ttble scoundrel in creation. The world is often wrong. In nothing more than' this. The spendthrift is an enemy to himself—il a married man to his wife and family.— But the spendthrift is rarely a married man. He is, in nine cases nut of ten, a bachelor. He ruins himself. He has himself to thank or to blame. He may ih his prostration begin the world again, a wiser, and s better man. Any how, he has not been useless in his sphere. II he has squandered money recklessly—if ho has brought himself to shame and ruin, he has at least disseminated the one thing needful among many, some of whom may turn it to better nccount than he has done, and thereby is the world benefited at his individual expense. If he is lavish, he is generous, and while he impoverishes himself, he stretches out a helping hand to those assailed by poverty and destitution.— How is it with your miser? He also im poverishes _himself—for the wealth he pos sesses he does not enjoy. This in itself would ire but retributive justice, and his anxiety and suffering would be but per contra creditor to his wordly gains. If he could stop there all would be well. But he cannot. The wealth he amasses is as a nonentity. It is by his parsimony, by his mean, contemptible, hoarding spirit, useless to himself, and profitless to others, and yet the craven being loves to rail against the conduct of the spendthrift. The spendthrift to him is Hyperion to a Satyr--for the spendthrift benefits society at large, while he impoverishes it. Your miserly fellow has nut an ounce ofgenernsity or good fee. ling in him. Ho will walk n mile to avoid the necessity of giving or loaning a destitute friend a shilling. He is in short, neither useful nor ornamental, nor fit for the land nor the dunghill. He is a sub-trensurer, and robs himself of his own property.— Clipper. Ton EXTRA GLOBE.—This vile sheet has expired by its own limitation—Amos has pocketed more than $50,000 from the faithful, and now issues proposals for a new paper to be called "Kendall's Expositor." We agree with a friend that ho has expo sed himself already sufliciently.—Har. In telligencer. LEVI D. SLAM!.—The New York Times states, that Mr. Grinnel has returned from Boston, where he went to have certain parties presented to the Grand Jury, and that the editor of the Boston Post , gave the name orSlamm, as the person from whom he received the false information, respec- ting Gov. . Seward and Mr. Grinnell. The libeller stated that Mr. G had run away and that tho Governor had been arrested and was under a course of examination, than which nothing could be more infamous, false and calumnious. Charles City, Va., Harrison and Tyler's birthplace, gave a Whig majority of 150, out of 208 votes, at the recent election. CENSUS OF CINCINNATI.—The Cincinna ti Gazette contains some interesting starts. tics collected to taking the census. Popu latton of the city is 46,382.

BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.-A case of breach of promise, which was tried in ouvounty Court this week, and which excited considerable interest, was decided, on Wednesday evening last about 9 o'clock, in favor of the complainant, who is a very interesting young girl, about 18 years of age. The case was one of an aggravated character, and the jury awarded damages to the amount of el2OO --Frederick (Aid.

NOVEL MODE OF SUBSCRIBING FOR A PERIODICAL. -A new weekly periodical, to be called "The Repertory of Useful Knowl edge," is about to be issued in Havana. Its terms of subscription are rather novel. It is to be published by the Savings Bank lately established there. The price of subscription is $6 per annum, two of which are deemed to be actual cost of the work, and the remaining $4 are to be deposited in the Bank to the credit of the subscriber, who is to receive 6 per cent. interest. It is calculated and announced to the public, that each subscriber can receive the work for twelve years. and have his 72 dollars in his pocket at the end of the term. IBRAHIM PACLIA..-A correspondent of the N. Y. Observer gives' the foltowing description of Ibrahim, the son of Mehemet Ali: "Ibrahim, the oldest son of Mehemet Ali, (or, as some have asserted, the adopted son) is now 51 years of age. He is described as being of a strong constitution, naturally grave, somewhat forbidding in appearance, and less attractive in manners than his fa• ther. From the age of 16 he has been a military and civil officer. It mill be re membered that he figured very conspicious ly in the war between Turkey and Greece. His energy and military capacities have been abundantly proved in his conduct of affairs in Syria. In his late contest with the Turkish forces on the plains of Nezib, he was completely victorious. Ibrahim has been condemned as harsh and tyrannical in his government of Syria, and the same account has been given of Mehemet. But the rebellious tribes cannot be kept in qubjection except by strong hands. Both these warriors have done themselves honor by encouraging the im• provements introduced by foreigners, and expending money freely in public works. hospitals, Atc. Mehemet Ali, owns all the territory in Egypt, and has it cultivated by men who ore paid for their labor in a share of the produce. He has a monopoly of cotton, rice and opium, &c. 'He is the great far. mer, the grent merchunt of the country.— All business of exchange is done by him.' His maxim is "Cho earth belongs to God and to the sovereign who is his representa tive."' THE SHOCK OF AN EARTHQUAKE IN PPIL ADELEHIA.—We were visited on Saturday Wit between 9 and 10 o'clock, with nn ex traordinnry storm, accompanied by heavy thunder and vivid lightning. Shortly after 9, the buildings in various parts of the city, trembled and shook for several seconds, as if through the agency of an earthquate.-- Many of our citizens were . alarmed, and the pause which immediatel y succeeded the shock, especially to those who were in sit untions of quiet and repose, calculated fully to experience the terrible sensation—was marked by a feeling or awe and solemnity. We have since been . biligmed that the wa ters of the Delaware werd agitated by a heavy and unusual swell at the same time. The Leg islature of New Jersey adjourn. ed on Saturday morning after a to iefsession. On Friday, in joint meeting, Isaac South ard was elected State Treasurer, and Sam uel It. Gummere, Clerk in Chancery.— Several minor appointments were also made. The Legislature meets again the 12th ofJanuary.

MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK AND LOSS OF Lim.— Our correspondent of the Barnsta ble Patriot, in a slip dated 6th inst., gives the following: About ono o'clock yesterday, P. M. a schooner was seen in the Bay, opposite this harbor, with a small piece of foresail set, standing to the eastward; about one hour after she was seen to capsize, as was thought in attempting to wear round. She partially righted again, when her mainmast was cone, and four men were seen clinging to her rail for about another hour, when they were all washed off. The vessel came on shore back of Sandy Neck, about a mile from Beach Point Light, and proved to be the schooner-Rodney, of Boston, Libby, master, bound from. Belfast to Boston, with a cargo of leather, potatoos, and spars. There is a large quantity of leather, which the people upon the bench are getting out to day and saving. When the vessel first struck the shore, her fore mast also went overboard, and she beat up, as the tide came, a complete wreck. The bodies of the crew have not yet drifted ashore. There was, and still is, a trernen dous sea running, which made it utterly im possible to render them the least aid from the shore. .She wan owned, as appears by the papers, which were saved by David Goddard and others, of Boston.

The splendid Chandelier lately suspend ed in the Hall of the House of Representa tives, was lighted last Wednesday night; when a numher of gentleman attended to witness its effect. We undersland,from one who was present, that the effect %vas exceed ingly beautiful and extremely brilliant. Wo hnd the pleasure of viewing and examining this splendid Chandelier last Thursday mor ning. It is, certainly, without exception, the largest, most elegant and splendid Chan delier we ever beheld. We understand that it wus manufactured to the order of the House of Representatives, by Messrs. H. N. Hooper & Co. of Boston, and cost four thousand dollars. The following description of this unique and splendid luminary, was furnished at our request, by a gentleman attached to tho House of Representatives.

Owing to want of room and time to collect and arrange tho materials last week, we were then able to give only a partial description of the decorations of our town on that occasion, and were obliged to reserve tho following until our present - number.— We now proceed to complete the description, as far at least as we have been able to ascertain the same. The following houses, in addition to those men tioned last week, wore handsomely and tastefully decorated, as follows—viz: Jacob Heck.

His largo three story hotel oc Tho meeting at Littlestovrn on Friday last in commemoration of the series of splendid Demo- cratic triumphs achieved under the auspieces of General HAnnisox, was truly gratifying to the friends of correct principles,and we rejoice to learn, was characterized by a propriety, comity and de corum which tempered without restraining the free expression of those feelings of joyful enthu siasm which gladdened , the .hearts of the large concourse who were assembled. The town was handsomely and brilliantly illuminated; and the crowd were several times addressed in the after noon, and also in the evening by Messrs. JAMIIi COOPEIt and Dania. M. Suirsse, from a stand in front of the public house of Mr. J. A. DAVIS, which was neatly and tastefully decorated with lights, and wreaths of evergreens. Their remarks wore heard and responded to with enthusiasm by the assembled' multitude, and we learn, were in a tone of forbearance, conciliation and moderation which elicited the approval of many of the adverse party who were present. In the evening, after the town was lighted up, a procession with hanlsome•and appropriate ban ners, mottoes and transparencies, was formed and marched through the different streets of town, with martial music, under the direction of Col. Ephraim Swope, Chief marshal, and Capt. An drew Little, James Renshaw, and Jacob Baum gardner, Assistant marshals. Every thing was conducted on a handsome and imposing scale, and the arrangements reflect the highest credit upon the taste and attention of the Committee of arrangement; which consisted of Messrs. Jacob Sterner, Dr. J. A. Shorb, James Renshaw, Frederick Bittinger, John Liddy, Capt. Andrew. Little, John Toner, John Barnitz, Isaac Staub, David Shriver, Capt. Wm. M'llvaine, and Josr.ph Fink. The meeting adjourned before nine o'clock, and not an incident occurred to mar the pleasure or interrupt the harmony of the occasion. The following is the result, as far as heard from, of the election in the States for Electors of Presi-, dent and Vico President:— For Harrison.

Wo are still without complete returns from Illi nois, Alabama and Arkansas. The returns re ceived render the result somewhat doubtful in these States; but should Mr. Van Buren receive the vote of all of them, he will then have but 49 electors in all. South Carolina will probably vete for Van Buren, if so, be will have received 60 electoral votes. PROFESSOR DAVIS—who was Shot at Charlottsville, Va., has since died of the wound. The following particulars of his death are given: '.The 12th November is the anniversary of a celebrated rebellion which took place in Cho University some three or four years ago. It has been customary, with some few of the students, to celebrate that day ever since. On Thursday night last, the 12th, there were only two or three who could be found to commemorate the event. They wont forth about 9 o'clock at night, armed with pistols and disguised with masks. dm After making a good deal of noise upon the lawn of the Universary, they ap proached Professor Davis, residence, with the design, as he believed, to insult him. He wont uut with the view of discovering who they were. He immediately came upon a very small person, who was other wise disguised. He approached him, and reached out his hand to unmask him. The individual, without uttering a word, stepped back one or two paces, and fired the fatal shot. Thus has been cut down, in the vigor ofintellect and the prime of manhood, a gentleman who was an ornament to socie ty and the pride of the University." The Richmond Star says "a Mr. Sims, from the south, was arrested and under ex amination all day Saturday. Another young man, named Kincaid, absconded at first but has since returned and been placed un• dor arrest.

New Hampshiro, 7 Virginia, 23 Missouri, 4 Logs OF Trig Sc.Ort HFRMOPA. —A letter from Captain Chatten of the Schooner Her-: lOWA, dated at Nassau: N. P., Oct. 29th, announces the wrecking of his vessel. She struck on a reofof rocks near the East end of the Island of Abaco, on the night of the 19th Oct. the wind blowing fresh at the time, after n run of four days and a half from Cope Beaty. She was bound from this port to New Orleans with a cargo of slaves (47 in number) and tobacco. She bilged immediate!), and is a total:loss. The crew and slaves made their escape to the Island, wore the slaves ' were taken possession of by the civil authorities, and after being taken to Nassau, New, Provi dence, (the Capitol of the Bahama Isles) were set at liberty by the Governor. The wreckers had saved a part of the Tobacco in a damaged state. The entiie cargo we believe•was insured. The slaves belonged to Messrs. Lumpkin & Co. of Richmond, and their liberation will we suppose form another troublesome question for our Minister at the Court of St. James to settle. The Captain reports the loss, on the same night, near the wreck of the Hermosa, o the ship Willing ton, of Bath, Me.,--Recla. mond Compiler. MUTILATED NOTES.-A case was yester day tried before Squire Keplingler, the de tails of which may probably be interesting to some of our readers. It appears Mr. Henry Day, Treasurer of the Front Street Theatre, in the course of his business trans actions received a mutilated one dollar note, the issue of J.l. Cohen Jr. dr. Bros. The signature was partly torn oft: His note he presented at .Cohen's banking house, and was refused payment, unless the holder made affidavit that he had received it for full value They however offered him fifty cents for it as it was. Mr. Day, not satis fied with this, instituted a suit against the Cohens for the amount; and the magistrate decided that they would have to redeem the note and pay the costs of the suit. During the trial Mr. Cohen explained to the maps trate wherein he might be defrauded. He cut six of his notes in such a manner as to make eight ono dollar notes, each be might be compelled to pay on account of its rnutila• tion. He contended that it might have been the case in the present instance.— Clipper. THE ELDRIDGE CASE.—The jury in this case returned into court on Saturday morn ing, and, after the usual form delivered a verdict of acquittal of the &fondant. The prisoner heard the acquittal with evident emotion. He was remanded to prison by Judge Conrad, in order to stand his trial on nineteen other indictments, which yet re main unfired.. The indictment on the trial just concluded was based on the charge of fraud on the twelve banks collectively, and was considered the strongest of the twenty preferred against him. Each of the twelve banks now bring suits for fraud on them individually. Should he be acquitted on them all, he will have a number of indictments to answer, which. now stand against him in Now Cork, the same fate awaits him in the city of Balti more. A long time must elapse before he can in the regular course of law, obtain his freedom.— Phila. U. S. Gazette. . Lours PIIILLIPPE.—A correspondent o the New York Star in writing from .Pnria, says:--"France is for war; Louis Phillippe is for peace. Thiers, to use a trtrong phrase of Larnartine's, wants to go for himself hall a line in history. Louis Phillippe knows that France - is not able to battle against Eu rope, which it should do if she wars at all. The prevailing belief is, that the King has said, "rattier than see this country plunged into an unnecessary war, I shall abdicate and retire to England." By the way, Wil. liam of Holland has abdicated. His son to on the throne. The ex. King, at the age of 68, could not manage a kingdom, but wants to marry a fair subject. It is easier to manage a young wife than a small kingdom. RETAIIIIITIVE Josnem—The triumph• ant election of Gedeial Harrison must be wormwood to the grim -visaged old man of the Hermitage. During the whole contest, Gen. Jackson has been engaged with all his might against the candidate of the people --not only traducing him in the letters pre. pared for his signature, but traversing the state of Tennessee in person, and descend ing to all the vulgar arts of a bar-room eke ! tioneerer. But his exertions—thanks to the same Providence who employed Jackson for our national chastisement—have been of no avail, and his own state has vetoed his behests by a majority of ton thousand.— This, however, is not all . There is ono cit.. cumstance connected with Jackson's treat ment of Harrison, which renders the tri. umph of the latter particulaily grateful in a personal view. Jackson has always treated Harrison with special malevolence. When ho came into power in 1829, one of•his first acts of party meanness and spite was direc. ted against Gen. Harrison. The latter had just been appointed Minister to Columbia, by President Adams, and 'he was the first minister re-called and superseded by Jack son. Nay, in such haste was he to immo late a bravo fellow.soldier, that he ordered his recall belore the news of his arrival ut the Columbian capitol (Bogota,) had been received. And as if farther to mortify the, object of his hate, the notorious "Free Tom Moore," was appointed his successor.— Deeply and bitterly mortifying then to Gen. Jackson, must be this triumphant elevation of Gen. Harrison to the highest station in tho gift of. the people.—/V. Y. Com. THE BUSINESS CLAssEs- - -Accounts from different parts of the country show that the most beneficial effects on commerce and trade, and every department of business, are confidently anticipated from the election of General liwarasort. We doubt not these anticipations will be speedily realized. The operations of business will of course continue to he embarrassed for eomo time by tho provisions of law yet in existence, and earn cially 63 the want of n currency equivalent to specie, of universal credit, and of equal value in every part of the country. But yet the hitherto relentless war of the Ad. ministration against the •people must be stopped; and with the cussation of that hos• tility there must be a revival of busines4— the rostorntion of confidence—and the re. turn of some degree of our former prosper ity.—Madisonen n. The case of Governor Mor►nn is a re. markable instance of the punishment of a demagogue brought upon himself. Chosen by a bare majority—his election was an ac cident and not a triurriph, yielding conse quently no honors. Checked and guarded by a %Vhig Conrail, he has literally turned no one out of office, save only himself.— That he has done. Ho abolished the office of Judge, left vacant by the accident of his election, and thus shut the doors upon him self. He has been allowed the sterile and unenvied privilege of sitting ono single year in the Executive chair of Massachusetts, and Marcus Morton is the only man ho has been enabled to turn out of office. How sel dom does retribution tread so closely ur.on offence.—Bolton Atlas. A PROFITABLE VOYAGE.- , -A Boston pa per says that it is estimated that the ship Delhi, owned by Appleton and Henry Oxnard, whose cargo is now selling in New York, will make a clear profit for her owners in ono voyage, of 8250,000. VERY GOOD.—The New York Mercury says to the editor of the Brooklyn News: "0, you rogue! it's easy enough to make a dirty pun with a pen by employing u." VETERANS. —At tho opening of the Bos ton polls in Ward 9 on Monday last, at 9 o'clock, there were twelve , men standing tNero—notwithstanding the storm—ready to deposit their votes, the average of whose ages was etghty one years each. It is, per haps, unnecessary to add•that they ail voted the Whig ticket.—Trans. MAINE.—The vote in the Hancock and Washington District of Maine, has been ex ceedingly close, but it is supposed that there was no choice, and that a third trial must be had. Had it not been for the unconstt- tutional law passed by • the , Legislaiure, at its recent session, for the very purpose of electing Lowell, Noyes, (W.) would have been chosen. !Va. Buoo . SURTEM—lntelligence has reached town that our fellow.citizen, Mr. Gwynne, who went in search of Wm.

In France, Surtees had assumed the name of John William s When apprehended, he wns passing un• der the name of John Topham. Here he hailed as John Bugg. He is a native of §palding,England.—Cincinnati Gazette. - , LAND SLIDE.—The Troy Mail says a large portion of Mount Ida, loosed by the .late rains, came on Saturday evening quite unexpectedly, and totally demolished a small house occupied by a faintly of color .d persons. The inmates escaped unhurt. On Monday, another avalanche came down about the same spot, bringing with- it about half of the orchard which. stood upon the side of the hill. Very providentially, no lives were lost. The recent land slides are in the vicinity of that which occurred a few years since, when several lives were lost. CURIOUS CALCULATION —An accour was taken on the 19th of August of the number o 1 carriages, of various descrip• tions, . which passed King William street, London bridge, from eight ►n the morning, till eight in the, evening:—From eight to 9 o'clock, 903; from nine to ten, 997; froin ten to eleven, 895; from eleven to twelve, 1,015; from twelve to one, 934; from one to two, 800; from two to three, 905; from three to four, 975; from filer to five, 1,053; from five to six, 812; from six to seven, 771; from seven to - eight, 894; to• tel, 11,040. This averages 927 en hour, or 15 in every minute; and ►t is fair to pre sume that there is no street in the world where so many carriages pass and repass in ono day. On September Ist several per• sons were engaged in order to ascertain the number of foot passengers which passed the same place from eight in the morning ,to, eight in the evening, and tho result was as' follows:—From eight to nine o'clock, 3,600; from nine to ten, 4,460; from ten to eleven, 4,380; from eleven to twelve, 4,620; from twelve to one, 3,900, from one to two, 3,. 840; from two to three, 4,200; from three to four, 4,480; from four to five, 5,280; from five'to six, 4,490; from six to seven, 3,945; from seven to eight, 0,720; total, 53,505. This statement will be found equal in number to 4,4551 per hour, or 74 every minute. The number of persons supposed to pass in and with carriages (ave raging two to each) amounts to 22,020, which, added to the above, makes a total of 75;505 passengers in twelve hours. POPULAR REMEDIES. --The most popular remedies of the present day are these which cleanse and purify the blood and which are known to be innocent in their qualities.-- Such remedies as Mercury Antimony, Zinc, and the recourse to Bleeding in diseases, am now out of fashion,and Vegetable Rem. cdies are the popular medicine now. Bn AN DRETIeS VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL PILLS are used and appreciated. They are known to act on every part of the body; being taken up by chyle they pass into the blond, which they purify; and it. should be remembered that they remove only those parts from the blood which were the cause of intimation. Nothing is equal to ridding' the vitiated humors with a vsgetable medicine of this kind, which eighty.four years have proved never to do injury, but always good. Purchase them in Gettysburg of Thos.

With this view ho has chosen for its conductors two of the most eminent tomato writers of this or any other country—Mae. HALE and Mite. Smolt. rixv, assisted monthly by ono of no loss ability, Miss Latium In speaking ofour Engravings, we beg leave to call attention to the following published in last volume, viz: View of Constantinople, The Pilgrim. Schuylkill Water Works, Happy as a King, The Indian Maid, The Death of Loath. With each of these was published a Fashion plate, containing either three or four figures beau. ninny and tastefully coloured. Universally pronounced superior to any other Magazine illustrations in this or any other coon. try. Beautiful as they undoubtedly aro. we Pro nounce, without hesitation that those for this year shall be superior. The engraving shall always be worth more than the price of subscription. We do not, as ninny of our contompories do, who would scorn to toll a verbal falsehood, pass off so• coed hand plates as original. Ours aro undoubt edly so, and the designs selected by ourselves, and they will be continued throughout the year. Godey's Book has boon emphatically torniud THE LADIES' NATIONAL MAGAZINE, Lie it Is a receptacle for the contributions of the most celebrated FEMALE WRITERS OF AMER I. CA, most of whom of any eminence contribute to its pages. In a future publication we will devote a column to publishing the names of our contributors. It is too long, except for a separate advertisement. But let this bo remembered, that we never In any jnstanco mention the name of a contributor from whom we have not the remotest idea of pro. curing a contribution. Thera aro enough wri. tors in our country, and good ones too, who if they aro paid will furnish motto!. sufficient fur all our periodicals, • TWENTY-ONE VOLUMES have already been issued. It is usual to announce that a small edition only will he published. Contrary to this,. the Proprietor of the Lady's Book announces that tie will publish AN IMMENSE- EDITION, with-which : he hoimit to supply alt those Who will favour him with orders, commencing, with tho January number. - - It will be aeon. by this advertisement that ore. ry effort has been made by the propriotor of this work to make it superior to any other in- Ameri. ea; and as'A .NEW YEAR'S , GIFT, the Lady's. Book 18 probably the most proper that could be desired fur • Ladies, edited by their own sex, and assistod, us the Editorial Department is, by the. Pictorial Embellishments, it is Puaititively tl.o PARLOUR COMPANION. - The Times aptly remarks that ors aubscOption to this work, would bo a much more acceptable prosont to a fair friend during the coining holiday season, than any of the gingerbread annuals made of Laura Matilda poetry and diluted prose." There are ether publications that advertise FASHION PLATES. Tho Publisher 'of tho Lady's Book .wishes it to be distinctly understood that the principal Fashions in his work ARE COLOURED, AND IN EVERY NUMBER; which is not the case with any other work pub. fished in this country: unless they aro coloured they aro useless. The Literary Department is placed under the superintendence of Mrs SARAH J. HALE and Mrs. LYDIA IL SIGIOURNEY; two ladles so well known to the world, _that to mention their • • names in connection with any publication is at once a guarantee of its morality, virtue. and util• ity. Of their capability to conduct the LADY'S BOOK, it is presumed no person will doubt, and the proprietor mentions with pleasure that no English or Alnorican Magazine can publish in connection with its literary Department two names so celebrated ia the world of letters. It will •be rememberod that MISS LESLIE con tributes to each number. ne Musical Department is under tho superin. tendonco of J. 0. OSBORNE, than whom no person is more capable of doing it justice.
