NEWSPAPER LAW. ftl-The law is, and ■o the courts decide, that the parson to whom a paper is sent is responsible for the payment, if he receive the paper or make use of It, even thongh he never subscribed for it. His duty in such ease is not to take the paper from the office or place where it is left, bnt to notify the publisher that he does not wish it. If papers arc sent to a post of fice, store, tavern, or other place, and are not taken by the person to whom they are sent, the postmaster, store or tavern keeper, Ste., is responsible for the payment unless he immediately gives notice to the publisher that they are not taken from the office or place where they are sent. Extract from the Post Office Regulations, page 50, section HS: "In every instance in which papers that come to your office arc not taken out by the person to whom they are sent; you will give immediate notice of It to the publisher, adding the reasons, if known. why the papers pre not taken out.", RBMITTANCES, BY MAIL.

GRATV/TOUS ADVIFITIBING.-NO class of the community ie more severely taxed not for the public, but tor individual good, than newspaper publishers. The New York Commercial sets forth the case in the fol iowing article—every word of which is true. Gratuitous Advertising.—Every body knows or ought to know, that the publish ing business is one of large expense—ern ploying a great number of persons and an extensive capital, that every paragraph set up costs a certain sum in the composition. or setting up of the type, and occupies a certain space which ought to yield its pro portion of income to the proprietors. Ev ery hody must know, ton, that the main source of this income is the portion of the sheet devoted to advertisements, and that to ask the gratuitous insertion of an advertise ment, or a communication, or an editorial entice, to serve in the place of one, is lit. ,rally asking the publisher to incur an expense of one dollar or more without ma king him a birthing in return. It is to all intents and purposes asking him to take a sun' of money from his pock dived present it to the applicant. Yet this think to - done every day and many times a day, and that too by men who have no earthly claim on the charity of the publish er, and who can much better afford than he can to disburse the money—without °dyer. flog to the fact that the object of the adver tisement or communication, is to promote their interest, and not that of the publisher. There are scores of persons who would never droam of walking into a tailor's shop and salting for the gift of a waistcoat, or into a hatter's and begging to be favored free gratis, with a hat ; yet can see no im propriety in calling upon the publisher for the gratuitous announcement of a course of lectures, or a patent fly trap, or any other notion, in the bringing of which be• fore the public they may happen to have an interest. IMPORTANT PROM CHINA.—The ship Narreganset has arrived at New York, bringing important news from China.— Hostilities have again commenced, ant when the Narragansett sailed, the British were bombarding Canton, having destroyed multitude of fire ships arid taken all the forts upon the river, a work which was not Occoniplished without the loss of a vast number of lives. A number of well made new brass guns were hiker) into the Chinese fortifications. All the foreigners in Can. ton, except a few American merchants, bad withdrawn previous to the attack.— These, with some others, who had been made prisoners by the Chinese and shut up in an old building for several days without food, were finally liberated and made their eseene. The fortifications were taken on the 22nd day of May. On the 24th, the •20th regiment took possession of the for eign factories, ar•.d on the 25th the British troops,umounted to abaut 22410 men, after rum , t ur d fighting took pertaession of the heights near Canton. It Was expected that an attack would be made upon the city on the following day. Perpiong who left Wharopoa late on the 26th, say that a heavy firita L ! was heard in the direction of Canton, which renders it very probahle the British stormed it at the time the Narragansett had left lltacao. The Chinese, it was reported, had fiff;!r ed the English five millions of dollars, and to pay all expecaes of the attack. on condi tion they would withdraw from the city.— The leer was rejected. All trade was at an end. • 20 DAYS LATRR FROM CANTON.—The news per Narragansou ilublished , this motif ing, were in the Ist of June. We now find that the Narragansett had a long and ti , di outivateinge down the China See. And •et Angier Point was overtaken by the Island Queeo, which left. Canton 20 daYs later, and' by this means Mr. • Low, who came passriig'r in the Narragansett, obtained the fiillowtvg additional information.—Nero .Fork C.our?rr. "Pr ,, vi.unt la the Narragansett leaving Wharnpo,,,, riot C'hint•se had agreed to pay six mttiiowt uf,lfitqird as a rsesum for the city of Canton, one million of which had been delivered on board Her Majesty's ship Hyacinth, on the 27th of May- On the Ist June, Wore she left' ,the Macao Roads, news were received that fighting had again taken place with some newly arrived troops, and that a few foreigners who had returned to *.ook after some of their property, were again obliged to retire to their boats.

"The Quong-chow-foo shall produce full power to conclude these arrangements on the part of the three commissioners. The troops had returned to their ships previous to the 14th inst. 'after having suffered a great deal from exposure in the marshy ground back of the city. The Chinese even sent collies to assist in taking their traps to the boats, being glad to help to rid themselves of such troublesome visiters. When the troops were being drawn off, one company was found to be missing, hut after a short search were descried up to their knees in a marsh, defending them selves against superior numbers at the point of the bayonet, not being able to de; charge their muskets on account of the rain which was then falling. They were rescu ed from their perilous situation by a detach ment sent to their assistance with, percussion locks. Sir Le Fleming Snnhoase, mended the Naval Forces in the absence of Sir Gordon Bremer, died at Hong Kong on the 14th June, and was hurried at Ma cao, at his own request in preference to the former place. It is supposed his death was occasioned by heat and over fatigue attend ing the atiack upon Canton. Great sick ness prevailed among the troops and seamen at Hong Kong. Capt. Elliott had been sick a week.— Messrs. Morrison and Fearon, interpreters, had also been very ill. Six million dollars had been paid,---five in silver, and one in securities. The forces had left the river, except the Calliope and Herald ai W ham pea' the Nimrod had sailed with depatches for Bengal, Cnpt. Barlow was to proceed from there to England with despatches for the Admirality. "Persons having suffered losses by the destruction of the factories, were requested to hand in an inventory of the same to M. Plenipotentiary. "H. M subjects warned that it is unsafe to proceed to Canton, or send ships to liampna, and recommendedi to go to Hong Kong, and notified that any attempt on the pert of the Chinese to interrupt free dom of trade and intercourse with Hong Kong, would be answered with a strict blockade u; Canton. "On the 15th June. the Chinese were again preparing great quantities of fire rafts, and large supplies of match string and money had been sent to Canton from the different provinces. "A passenger in the Island Queen from Macao, 20th June, bound to Bombay with despatches to be forwarded to England, in formed the residents at Algier, that the sickness was sn great at [long Kong. that it bud carried Wl5 principal officers in one day. TIIR WIIEAT CROP or 1842 —We learn from a triend who lies been spending a few days at different points in the Great Miami Valley. that the wheat which has been sown thii present fall in this fertile section of the State. amounts to about three times the usual quantity. It the farmers in the other principal grain districts of the State have sown any thing like as Extensively, with a favorable season, the wheat product of 1842 will be very large• The seed along the Miami hay come up well, and the fields present a beautiful and healthy appearance. The . /ly has shown itself in some districts, but has as yet done but little damage. Entire exemption from its rava gee is not to be expected, but the present indications are that it will be far less de structive than tt was last fall.—Cin. Rep. OPINIONS OF TUE UNITED STATES IN PARIS.—In the National Intelltgencer of Tuesday we find an able letter from Paris, the production of the pen of Mr. Walsh, from which we extract the following para• graph: “The sort of burglary committed by a rabble at your President,s mansion in refer ence to the Veto, has bean !eagerly cited here as an outrage to match the Charivari with wlich the French Premier was insul ted at env.

GEN. HARRISON. POISONED! We have learned , from private scarcest that when the body of General Harrison was disinterred, previmzs to its removal to North Bend. on opening the( offing in which it was enclosed, the head bad swollen so large as to burst the glass case fitted around I it. It was examined by medical men, and others, and the conclusion to which they came; left room for the horrible suspizion that he bad been poisoned to death! Of the fact as we now state it, there can be no dGcbt, for we have the most positive proof, and it only seems strange to us that no further investigation.; were made at the I time, to satisfy the mini in regard to any I other evidence of murder haverg been com mined. There is one established fact, however, which str u egly favors the idea that such might have been the mate. and that is, nothing but potsma cnuld have pro- I diced such an effect upon the bead, and cause it to swell in swig it manner- And if there be any disease which might induce, such a swelling, still, the disease of which it was generally thought and alleged he died, could not possible be the cause. The opinion that General Harmers was murdered. is becoming prevalent among the people of Washington, arid the above is the reason which they assign for such a distressing belief. And yet in ithinking over the matter we can hardly convice our self that we are dealing with facts—but such is the case. The mystery is hill of horror, and yet it is no phantom, no chi mere of the brain, bet a real.tangib!e, fear. ful reality. The truth is not known—may ceserbe known—save only by Him whose eve is upon all things, searcher.

In one of his latest we find this startling paragraph: "It 19 not unknown to you, Madam, that amongst large bodies of my fellow.subjecis there prevails an ill-defined, but strong opin ion, that Whiga and Tories are alike their natural enemies; that, in fact, nll the middle and upper classes are in one grand cunspi• racy to trample upon and oppress them.— Let an attempt be made to peas through the fearful approaching winter without some grand legislniive offnri made to re• i lieve the industry of the country, and the I spirit of Chartism—ay, and something more —will once more raise its head, and neith. er churches nor yeomanry, neither bayon ets nor sabres, will put it down. We have had Jack Cedes and Wet Ty lora in Eng land, and these have been put down; we have had great gatherings in Birmingham, riots at Bristol, Luddism, Radicalism, and physicill force Chartism—and all these have been appeased or subdued. But we have yet to see another spectacle, which comes as surely as the sun rises to-morrow, should the corn laws be maintained. In the tnidst of 'a run ler gold' and the fear of a national bankruptcy, thousands upon thousands of starving men, rising up like grim and appalling shadows—men hunger. worn, with aavage hatred in their hearts, demanding not bread alone, but their rights, and trampling alike upon public credit, national honor, and general safety. Oh, let not good ens) souls pursuatle you that in England such a thine is impossible. It is perfectly possible.

The father was a patriot of the revolution a pensioner, and advanced beyond the age of eighty, and in shaving the face of the corpse the razor drew a little blood The son, without wiping the razrr, made use of it to shave his own face, on which he also drew blood, and he made use of the same lather and brush which he had used on the corpse. Soon after his face became much swollen and he gradually grew wr.rse for about ten days, being much of that time • i great torture, till ho died.

The case was ably argu ed by Steam's. Worthington and Jenny for the plaintifF and Messrs. Daugherty and Hunter for the defendants. The auditors took a deep interest in the subject, and were much edified by the ingenious foren sic display of counsel.

Graham has undoubtedly spared no pains or expense to enrich the present number of the Magazine. Its contents are rich and varied—and the embellishmenta are euperior to those of any other like publication, and consist of a brilliant Mezzointo engraving of "The Pet Lamb;" an embossed and colored view of Boston; • rich steel plate of the Fashions; /Ind a popular piece of Music. These embellishments cost upwards of $lBOO. The present and all future numbers of the Magazine will he increased to at least sixty pazes or reading matter. Porter Festival. The yinEtleul friends of Dash' R. Porter, in this place, celebrated their victory on Thuraday last, by roasting and eating a large calf which they dignified with the name of an ox. It furnished, however, a sufficient repast for all who attended. Thu meeting was addressed by several gentlemen from Lancaster, who bad been invited to ha pre sent at the festival; and also by a fellow named Hamill from Carlisle, who was not incited, hut Who, as we are informed, thrust himself upon the hospitality of those, whose festivities he mimed by blailiguaril-abure of private citizens, en& of our community generally. The addresses of the gentlemen from Lancas ter, Messrs. Frazer and Cameron, although made up of stale insipidity about Demeeracy,Bariks and the squandering of the Girard Pund,did in no wise infringe upon propriety nr violate decency. This, however, cannot ho said of the filthy vituperation of the fellow Hamill. His address—if it may be called such—was a string of vulgar epithets end malignant libels, offensive alike against mo rality and decency. He singled out private indi viduals by name, and made them the subjects of the most slanderous abuse. 8o far did this low bred libeller transcend the boundaries of decency, that every respectable man, of his own party, felt himself disgraced by the suspicion of having afforded him countenance; and one of the speak ers who followed him, declared that he "would rather be acing than a man, and descend to such abuse of private individuals." This sentiment did Mr. Riley. who uttered it h000r; and pmves that though a party men, he has nut thrown off, the laws which regulate the decencies of life. We have always been opposed to the punish ment of offenders of every grade, in any , other way. than is provided by law,yet we must confess in this instance. that we felt but little indignant' at the gentleman who chastised this fellow for the insolent slander. which he uttered against our community. There has not been for many a day, a Scene so ludicrous as that which took place when Mr. Schreiner assailed him with a small cane, to punish him for hie filthy fibril, Although' so brave in word*, and wearing whiskers longer than a Hungarian lancer, he fled with the speed of a frightened deer; end so great was his terror that he never stopped until he entered the house of a strange lady, and ensconced himself, up stairs in the dressing room of her daughter.— From this place of refuge he was ejeeted by the I ladies; end verifying the proverb, that "the wicked fly when no man pursued)," escaped by the back door, continuing his flight with unaba ted speed, through back yards and hog-pens, un di in the most pitiable fright, he reached the house of a relation. We shall not attempt to de,.cribe the effects, which our wags say, fear wrought upon him; nor shall we vouch for the truth of all the tales that have been told. When we saw him there were none hut the ordinary tokens of fright to he perceived upon him. Others, how ever, may have been removed. Thin man's conduct, furnishes another proof that the electioneering braggadocio is always a' coward. The gentleman by whom he was casti gated was considerably smaller'than be is; yet dm poltroon made no show of resistance; and such was hi. consternation, that he represented his assailant es a man of giant 'proportions, armed with a bludgeon; whereas he is a man of slight make and used but a switch cane! so much did fear magnify every thing in the eyes of this cow• ardly libeller. But enough of him. Wo must do our political opponents the justice to say t that with the exception of two or three. they condemned utterly the outrageous conduct of Hamill.

I will not con jecture, what impression his harrangue has left upon the minds of the majority of his locofoco audience, but surely, every honcht end virtuous inau,who regards his own morals and has n proper regard for the feelings of others, was disgusted with the empty and detestable declamation of this miserable and unrourteous pettifogger.

A judge and several planters are threatened by these wretches with death, if they attempt to en force justice upon, such fiends. 'cilia pie. lute is truly frightful! The Natchitoches Herald also records a most horrible trans action, in which some Texan marauders were engaged. They crossd the line into the United States Territory, and captured a man named Boat right, whom they intended to bury alive. He stood by and saw them digging his grave, when he started to run for a thicket—a dozen 'muskets were lev elled at him, and he fell a lifeless corpse. His riff; , nce was that he refused to recognise their authority, and expressed hie disgust et their proceedings. ' TUE GROGAN AFFAIR.—The correspon dence between Governor Denison, of Ver mont, and Sir Richard Jackson, Governor of Canada, on the subject of the arrest of Grogan. is published in the Vermont pa pers. Sir Richard states, that being satis fied that Grogan's arrest was within the territory of the United Sates, he has gi..-en orders for his release, which were complied with. He further says, that the investiga tion she!' be continued, and if officers or soldiers in Her Majesty's service are impli cated, he will not tail to visit the offence with the utmost rigor. The correspondence is creditable to both parties. The disposi tion evinced is to maintain the friendly re lations between the two countries. A prompt seizure and punishment, by the re spective governments, of the marauders on both sides, would go far to suppress the outrages that have been the principal source of danger to the good understanding and peace of the two countries. RUMORED ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE PRESIDENT.—A rumor prevailed at Baltimore on Sunday evening, that an at tempt had been made in Petersburg, Va , to assassinate President Tyler. The ru mor was not credited, nor does it seem en titled to any credit, for the National Intel ligencer furnishes us with the feet that the President was et Norfolk on Friday, and went down to Hampton Roads to visit the United States ship Delaware; and was the next day to visit the Navy Yard, and the United States ships lying there. WAR STIIAM VEssEts.—We learn from the last number of the Army and Navy Chronicle that instructions have been issued for building the following vessels: At Nor folk, one of medium size, say between 600 arid 700 tons; and one of 300 tons, to be propelled by Lieut. Hunter's paddle wheels. At Philadelphia, one of 600 tons: to be propelled on Capt. Stockton's plan; and one of medium size, 600 or 790 tons Captain Stockton and Lieut. filititet:, will each have a general superintendencii of the building ofthe vessels on their respective plane. A PERILOUS ADV ENTIMPL —A balloon ascension was made from St. Louis on the Uth instant by Mr. S. Ilubart, accompanied by a young lady. After the balloon had attained the height of two miles, Mr. 11. wished tceiles , :end, but found the valve cord was bound fast in the neck of the balloon, which hung in folds, pressing on the small hoop overhead; In this difficulty, the bold adventurer climbed up the cords to the hoop, and resting upon it, disentangled the valve curd, which was necessary to give him command of the balloon. He then de scended, and made a safe landing about eight miles from the city.

The body of the de. ceased was disinterred, and examined by a Coroner's jury.

THE undersigned propose to commence the publication of a weekly paper bearing tho,shove title, whenever a sufficient num her of subscribers can be obtained to justify them in the undertaking. The welfare of our country imperatively demands that the interests of the laboring portion of society should be vigorously maintained, they con. stituting "the bone and the sinew of the land." The "Fematzus' AND MECHANICS' JOUR• NAL," will be strictly independent of all political parties, and will be zealously devo ted to the beat interests of the Farmer and Mechanic, the slay and support of our free institutions. It will speak the truth and expose falsehood, and, in all things, it will be the principal aim of the editors to avoid the vile and demoralizing abuse ,which characterize an many of the public prints. The "Farmers' and Mechanics' Journal" will be conducted in such a manner as to make it a useful and instructive Journal.— It will be devoted to Agriculture, the Me chanic Arts, Literature and Science. It will contain the latest news, foreign and domestic, end the state of the Markets ot home and abroad. Temperance.—This important anbject will not bo overlooked. Having thus briefly stated their object, the undersigned submit their plan to the public. It is now for the Farmers and Me chanics to say whether they will have a Journal to defend their rights and interests.
