WILLIAMS, SADE OF VERY VALUABLE REAL ES- TATE.— By virtue of a decree of the Circuit Superior Court of Law and Chancery of Stafford county, Virginia, at June term, 1839, in the cases of Bronaugh vs. Bronaugh and others, the undersigned, Commissioners, will offer for sale, at public auction, to the highest bidder, on the 10th day of Octo ber, 1839, before the front door of the Farmers’ Hotel, in the town of Fredericksburg, Virginia, the hereinafter described very valuable and inviting Real Estate —viz. A moiety of the tract of land called Marlborough, which for merly belonged to John W. Bronaugh, deceased. This moiety contains about 769 acres, and lies upon Potomac river and Aquia creek, in the county of Stafford, Virginia, about miles, by water, below the city of Washington, in the District of Colum bia, and about 14J miles by land from the town of Fredericks burg, in the State of Virginia. The quality of the soil is ex ceedingly fertile, admirably adapted to the production of Indian corn and other grain, and, in short, of all the staples of the country. In addition to this, there is upon the estate an inex haustible bank of the richest marl, situated most conveniently for use upon the farm, as well as for exportation. There are besides two valuable fisheries one, the Tump^ lately rent ing for SBOO, and the other, the Island, for S3OO per season and both likely to rent, under present prospects, much higher. The well-known Hmdrng-place, called Thorny Point, is also upon the land, and recently rented for S4OO per annum as a landing for steamboats. Here, it is expected, will be the point of termination of the Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Po .tomac Railroad. The land for that purpose has already been condemned, and the assessment made under the railroad law confirmed. Indeed, contracts upon part of the route between Fredericksburg and Thorny Point have already been made, and measures for the speedy completion of the road are understood to be in a course of active progress. Further, it is anticipated that, communicating with this, a lateral railroad, from Warrenton, in Fauquier county, or its vicinity, will also be constructed. And it seems not unlikely, from the many advantages of the situation, that at Thorny Point, on the land in question, a place of extensive business, perhaps a city, will shortly spring up. So favorable an opportunity for speculation is seldom offered, and the attention of capitalists and others is earnestly invited to the property, in the hope that before the sale day they will make every examination and inquiry, and make themselves acquainted with its numerous recommendations. The terms of sale will be, ready money for so much of the price as will satisfy costs, charges, and expenses of sale, as well as the costs of the two suits above-mentioned. For the residue of the purchase money a credit of 6 and 12 months from the sale day, and bearing interest from the sale day, will be allowed. Bond and security to be given for the deferred payments, and the purchaser or purchasers to be entitled to possession on the Ist day of January, 1840. The Commissioners, however, re serve the right to sell the tract in one or more lots or parcels, as may be deemed most expedient on the day of sale. They be lieve the title to be unquestionable, but, selling as Commission ers of the Court, they will convey with special warranty only. THOMAS B. BARTON, THOMAS H. BOTTS, RICHARD MONCURE, JOHN W. BRONAUGH, ARTHUR A. MORSON, aug 24 —ts Commissioners. FURTHER SALE.— On the same day, and at the same place mentioned in the foregoing advertisement, the un dersigned will offer fcr sale the other moiety of the said Marl borough tract, belonging to her, and containing about 769 acres. This will be^done, because it is believed that both moieties will sell better by being offered at or about the same time. They form together one of the finest estates in Virginia; the quality of the soil of the moiety now alluded to is fully equal to that of the other. It has upon it a commodious dwelling-house, an ex cellent barn, and other appropriate out-houses, besides a large body of most valuable timber. But a further description is deemed unnecessary, as purchasers will no doubt fully inform themselves before the sale of the real value and great advan tages of the property. The terms of sale will be one-fourth cash, one-fourth in 6 months, one-fourth in 12 months, and one-fourth in 18 months from the sale day the deferred payments to carry interest from the day of sale, and to be secured by bond and good security, with a lien upon the land. This moiety will also be offered in one tract, or in several lots or parcels, accordingly as may be considered best and most acceptable to purchasers on the day of sale. aug 24—ts ANN E. BRONAUGH.

NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER. METROPOLITAN GOSSIPINGS. LETTER XXX. APOLOGETICAL THE TOWN, SINCE MY LAST THE LATEST ARRIVAL....THE FOREIGN NEWS THEREBY....MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS....THE DOMESTIC FACE OF THINGS....A PROMISE FOR THE FUTURE. New York, Sept. 21, 1839, A variety of causes have combined to keep my pen idle for the last few weeks and, when I tell you that among these, the interdiction of a physician against using my eyes in any mode, over black and white,” has been the prin cipal, I feel sure that I need not go on with the list. Since my last, the town has been business-mad and theatre-mad. But the mania, in the first case, has been in sad enough contrast with the furor in the last. While every body has been complaining of horrible hard times while^the steam-ships’ arrivals have been anxiously watch ed fos^the faintest glimmerings of hope as to business prospects, the state of the money market, the crops, the cotton sales abroad, and the like interesting and vitally im portant matters —here we have had five theatres in full blast, together with countless minor attractions for the gay and fashionable world—all, every night, extensively patron ized by good Gotham! If I were to say that the harder” money is, the more there is to spend, I might explain by borrowing from Hamlet, who said, this was some time a paradox, but now the time gives it proof!” But all these money matters are the legitimate themes of your regular daily correspondent, and I shall not trench upon his province. The British Queen” steam-ship ar lived within these twenty-four hours, bringing eight days’ later dates from England that is to say, from London to the 2d instant, from Liverpool to the 3d, and from Paris to the Ist. She has made her voyage in 17 days. The ac counts brought by her do not differ much from those by the Great Western. The money market was unsettled and hard. Cotton had declined one-eighth of a penny. The crops are turning out well. Parliament is prorogued until October, and Vic toria has gone to Windsor. Eastern affairs are troublous still, and French matters are in statu quo. I glean a few items from a cursory review of the files of papers placed at my disposal by the kind liberality of my friends of the Evening Star and others. The Glueen seems to have had lately rather a hard time of it. On her way to prorogue Parliament, it seems, she was not only not cordially greeted, as has been usual, but was absolutely hissed! This seems to have arisen from the feeling created by the Lady Flora Hastings affair. I append extracts from two letters addressed to the Times, as indicative of the state of things in this regard. One, who signs his note Viator,” says: As to the Queen’s reception by the Public on her way to prorogue the Parliament, I beg to observe that a gentle man, who was in St. James’s Park during the procession, noticed a well-dressed man, standing on one of the benches, attempting to create a sensation of applause by flourishing Kib h at over head; but, so far from succeeding in the effort u A was treate d with much ridicule by those around him and lan ^hed from his elevated position. On this, he proceeded some hort d' Bl and repeated the attempt, which again most sigt J 1? fall d i as her Majesty Was suf fered to pass in perfect sileu. ce aild unnoticed. It is really a matter of deep regret that a oun 2 ^oeen should have been thus disparaged in the eyes oi er subjects by the character and conduct of those around her c °urt- The other, signed Spectator,” writes as follow* Although I have no wish to see the disapprobation Pf the conduct of her Majesty’s Ministers shifted upon our gracious young Queen, who is not to blame, still I cannot help noticing what occurred on her Majesty’s passing through the Park to prorogue the Parliament this day. As she came out, some of the spectators commenced hissing; upon which the police, who were stationed there in large numbers, immediately drew out their bludgeons, and threatened to knock down any man who dared to hiss. I have always considered that the expression of public opinion was one of the liberties of the English subject, and I should wish to know whether the police were warranted in threatening this violence; and, if they were not, whence they received their authority for so doing I for, upon the same principle, they may knock down any one who thinks it his duty to cheer the Duke of Wellington.” Upon which the Times remarks: It is unquestionably a great indecency, and, we appre hend, a misdemeanor, to insult the Sovereign on her official procession to Parliament; but it would have been wiser in the police to take no notice of the matter, and especially to have abstained fiom their threat of bludgeons.” Poor Victoria is “meeting with the rubbers.” I see the name of the Hon. C. A. Murray as among the royal suite upon a household excursion, a few days before the Court retired to Windsor. Penny Postage.—The postage, it is said, will com mence on the Ist of January, 1840; and very active ar rangements are now making at the Post Office to carry the measure into full effect. It is intended that the stamped envelopes shall be sold at all the metropolitan and country post offices, where stationers, as well as the public, may obtain supplies. Letters sent without being stamped will be conveyed, but they will be charged at a higher rate. The appointment of Mr. Poulett Thomson as Gover nor General, &c. of the British American Provinces has been formally protested against by the Committee of the North American Colonial Association in England. Apropos of this I see by the last Montreal papers that the appointment is not thought very highly of, although the new Governor is promised fair play. Theatricals in England.—Mr. Macready was playing the Lady of Lyons, &c. to good houses at the Haymarket, on the same nights with Power, in all his favorite parts; Farren playing in a farce the same nights. Costly busi ness! Ellen Tree was announced to appear on the 3d, at the same theatre, in her beautiful personation of Viola, in Twelfth Night. Ellen Tree is engaged by Vestris (Covent Garden) for twelve nights before and for twelve nights after Christ mas. Bishop is engaged by Vestris as Musical Director; and Hughes (late leader at the Park here) is to be her Orchestra leader. Ducrow, the great horseman, is in treaty for the little theatre Vestris has left—the Olympic. Vandenhoff and his young daughter (who, by-the-by, arrived here in the British Queen) made a great sensation at Liverpool in Bulwer’s Richlieu. They are to open here in that piece in a very short time. Forrest has been be forehand with them, having made a great hit already this season in Richlieu, at the National. A new debutante (Mad. Balfe, the wife of the compo ser) has produced a sensation in the character of Amina, in La Sonnambula. at the 11 English Opera House.” The best critics speak very highly of the performance. So here is yet another prima donna in the field I see nothing of Mr. Webster’s name in these files, whence I infer that he was still travelling in the North. The Eglintoun tournament came off with much splen dor on the first day; dashed, however, by a deluge of rain on the second. No bones were broken, a few lances were shivered, a good many people made fools of themselves, and much money was lavished very idly. The giver of the tournament, Earl Eglintoun, carried off the honors. I take, from an authentic source, the following highly important bulletin, which I beg my fair readers to con con siderably and considerately. Its authority is indisputable, they may rely upon it: Fashions for September—All the toilettes of the mo ment are of light delicate colors; silk dresses are numer ous the corsages vary; the shirts are very full and long, and the sleeves continue moderate. White is very much worn, but taffetas glace, organdys tamboured in colors, fou lards and muslins, with pattern satines, are worn. Can nezous bouillonnes, with either long or short sleeves, look very well with a dark silk dress. The fichu Rosine is a new style of pelerine, composed of filet or gros de Naples, black or colored, with frill of the same. The large silk shawls continue fashionable, and are made in great variety. Shawls of black tulle, a points d’esprit, are also in fashion, lined with colors. Mantelets are made, for young ladies, of spotted tulle, lined with lilac or blue, trimmed with two frills of the same, having a broad hem with riband through, the color of the lining. Very large shawls of plain cash mere are worn in Paris, edged with velvet, embroidered with gold and silk mixed. Shawls are also made of the guipure lace over silk, which is also used for dresses, floun ces, berthes, and even capotes. Bonnets continue of the same form; the front envelop ing the face. Black lace bonnets are very general. Some very fine Leghorns are trimmed with crape lisse and white feathers. The bunches of flowers continue to be placed very low. Bonnets of straw de Livourne, ornamented with long white feathers, tipped with pink or blue, are much worn at Paris. Some pretty capotes of lace placed on in rows, and lined with pink, have bunches of roses striped with white. The newest coiffures aie the Armin ienne, Thebane, Persane, Oriental; some elegant caps are made of tulle, embroidered in paille, ornamented with wheat-ears. Brooches of gold and enamel of various colors, repre senting fruits and flowers in their natural colors, with gold feuillage, are fashionable.— From the London and Paris Ladies’ Magazine of Fashions. I believe there is the end of my budget; and now a word as to home affairs. Trinity Church is demolished a heap of dusty ruins is all that is left of that beautiful edifice. Another is to be erected, of pure Gothic, covering about the same space of ground only. So passeth away the glory of one age, and another succeedeth Gov. Seward is to hold forth here, in the military and civil way, next week. He is to arrive on Tuesday, and there are the usual preparations on foot for his reception. Mr. Forrest, the tragedian, is to deliver a funeral ora tion to the memory of William Leggett, who recently died in this city. Mr. F. and Mr. L. were very close and intimate friends. These ceremonies are to be conducted under the patronage of the tutelar saint of the locos here, Saint Tammany, of Tammany Hall.” Mr. Charles Kean played three nights of his engage ment at the National, laboring under severe indisposition. Since that time he has been under the hands of his physi cian, who has interdicted him from playing till next Mon day, when he appears as Richard the Third.” Mean time the National has been empty, although the company there have been playing some sterling pieces. Vandenhoff and daughter, and “Yankee Hill,” came in the Queen, for the National, and will soon appear. The operatic troupe (Shirreff, &c.) are also busily re hearsing several operas for the same establishment. The first to be done is Gustavus.” Alexandre, the famed Ventriloquist, is soon to come, for the same house. Forrest played a very profitable engagement there. Charles E. Horn has written a most excellent opera, (words by Henry J. Finn,) to be brought out at the Na tional this season. The story is based upon one of Wash ington Irving’s Sketch-book papers. Mr. Majjder (Clara Fisher’s husband) is understood to have done likewise. The Libretto, in this case, by Mr. Burr, of this city,—late editor of the Whig. This is to be produced, too, at Wallack’s theatre. At the Park Theatre, we are having a most magnificent opera, by Beethoven, called Fidelis,” in which there are five admirable singers, together with the ballet, in which there are three first-rate dancers. Fanny Ellsler (on dit) will be on the Park boards before th e season closes. This will be doing it,” indeed. The Baglioni,” her brother has said in one of the papers, cannot come for three years, if at all; she being engaged positively for that length of time. Power may and may not come this season. If at all, not before February. Stephen Price, the London manager of the Park, came in the Queen. He is the brother of Wm. C. Price, who lately eloped the-ocean after Swartwout." But I must rein up. I have more gossip than room this week, and, must not draw too largely on your columns. Expect another letter on the heels, almost, of this; as I intend to be a good deal more punctual in my communica tions hereafter. Truly yours. J.

IN CONTINUATION. The Prorogation.—Tuesday, the 27th August, being the day assigned for the prorogation of Parliament by the Queen in person, great numbers collected to witness the royal procession. It was formed at Buckingham Palace about twelve o’clock in the morning, and moved directly for the house in which the Parliament was sitting. The great officers of State met her Majesty on her entrance into the House of Lords, and the members of the other House of Parliament, having been summoned, made their appear ance, headed by the Speaker, below the bar, when the royal assent having been given to the last act of the session, the Lord Chancellor piesented a copy of the following speech to her Majesty, which she read (says the Globe) in her usual elegant emphatic style “My Lords and Gentlemen: The public business hav ing been brought to a close, I have now to perform the sa tisfactory duty of releasing you from your long and labo rious attendance in Parliament. I rejoice that a definitive treaty between Holland and Belgium, negotiated by the mediation of the five Powers, has settled the differences between those two countries, and has secured the peace of Europe from dangers to which it had so loDg been exposed. The same concord which brought these intricate ques tions to a peaceful termination prevails with regard to the affairs of the Levant. The five Powers are alike deter mined to uphold the independence and integrity of the Ottoman empire, and I trust that this union will ensure a satisfactory settlement of matters which are of the deepest importance to the whole of Europe. It has afforded me the sincerest pleasure to have been able to assist in effecting a reconciliation between France and Mexico. Intent upon preserving for my subjects the blessings of peace, I am highly gratified when I can avail myself of an opportunity of removing misunderstandings between other Powers. I have recently concluded with the King of the French a convention calculated to put an end to differences which have arisen of late years between the fishermen of Great Britain and of France. This convention, by removing causes of dispute, will tend to cement that union between the two countries which is so advantageous to both, and so conducive to the general interests of Europe. I shall continue to pursue with perseverance the nego tiations in which I am engaged, to persuade all the Powers of Christendom to unite in a general league for the entire extinction of the slave-trade, and I trust that, with the blessings of Providence, my efforts in so righteous a cause will be rewarded with success. I regret that the differences which led to the withdraw al of my minister from the Court of Tehran have not yet been satisfactorily adjusted by the Government of Persia. In order to fulfil the engagements announced to you at the opening of the present session, the Governor Gene ral of India has moved an army across the Indus, and I have much satisfaction in being able to inform you that the advance of that expedition has been hitherto unoppos ed, and there is every reason to hope that the important ob jects for which these military operations have been under taken will be finally obtained. I have observed with much approbation the attention which you have bestowed upon the internal state and con dition of the country. I entirely concur in the measures which you have framed for the preservation of order, the repression of crime, and better administration of justice in this metropolis, and I have given a cordial assent to the bills which you have presented to me for the establishment of a more efficient constabulary force in those towns which peculiarly required it, and for effecting the important ob ject of generally extending and invigorating the civil pow er throughout the country. Gentlemen of the House of Commons: I thank you for the zeal and readiness with which you have voted the supplies for the service of the year. It has been with satisfaction that I have given my as sent to a reduction of the postage duties. I trust that the act which has passed on this subject will be a relief and encouragement to trade, and that, by facilitating intercourse and correspondence, it will be productive of much social advantage and improvement. I have given directions that the preliminary step should be taken to give effect to the intention of Parliament, as soon as the inquiries and ar rangements required for this purpose shall have been com pleted. The advantageous terms upon which a considerable amount of the unfunded debt has been converted into stock, afford a satisfactory proof of the reliance placed on the credit and resources of the country, as well as on your determination to preserve inviolate the national faith. “My Lords and Gentlemen: It is with great pain that I have found myself compelled to enforce the law against those who no longer concealed their design to resist by force the lawful authorities, and of subverting the institu tions of the country. The solemn proceedings of courts of justice, and the fearless administration of the law by all who are engaged in that duty, have checked the first at tempts at insubordinationj and I rely securely upon the good sense of my people, and upon their attachment to the Constitution, for the maintenance of law and order, which are as necessary for the protection of the poor as for the welfare of the wealthier classes of the community.” Then the Lord Chancellor, by her Majesty’s com mand, said— My Lords and Gentlemen: IC is her Majesty’s royal will and pleasure that this Parliament be prorogued to Thursday, the 24th day of October next, to be then here holden and this Parliament is accordingly prorogued to Thursday, the 24th day of October next.” Her Majesty, who appeared to be in the full enjoyment of health, then quitted the house, attended as on her en trance. The New Chancellor and the Corn Laws.—The new Chancellor of the Exchequer had made the following exposition of his views on the subject of the corn laws, in a speech at Portsmouth With respect to the corn laws, he wished to state how the matter stood in reference to his vote upon these laws. There were two questions submitted to the House ofCom mons. The first was a motion that the House should hear evidence at the bar in respect to the operation of the laws upon the interests of the country. This he had opposed. (Hear.) The House of Commons were said to have done nothing in the present session but undoubtedly, if the mo tion for hearing evidence at the bar had been carried, very little indeed could have been done. (Hear, hear.) But when the second question came before the House, relative to an alteration in the corn laws, then, when he could ex press his opinion upon the propriety of an alteration in those laws, he gave his vote in favor of such alteration. His opinion was, that a fixed duty upon corn was that which would produce more good to the community with out injuring the grower than any other mode of regulating the trade in corn and nothing that he had heard in the slightest degree tended to shake the opinion which he had formed on the subject; and, in conclusion, he had only to say that he did not think his opinion in reference to it could be changed.” The Eglintoun Tournament.—Long descriptions of the tournament which took place at Eglintoun Castle are given in the English papers. In the Liverpool Albion five closely printed columns are taken up with the details of the affair. Preparations for the sport appear to have en grossed the attention not only of those immediately con nected with it, but of the whole kingdom, for weeks. The tilting ground was furnished with seats and pavilions on a magnificent scale. Crowds of the nobility and fashiona ble people were gathered to witness the scene; all the houses in the neighborhood had been hired for months be fcrehand, and provisions rose at the time more than five hundred per cent. The first day was by no means auspi cious. A pelting rain not only prevented the amusement, but drenched the visiters, and overwhelmed the dinner which had been prepared in the tents erected about the castle. On the succeeding day there were passages at arms by several of the knights, but the severity of the storm having flooded the pavilions, there was neither ban quet nor ball. The third day the weather was favorable, and the tilting was conducted with great spirit. A dreadful affray had occurred at Egham, August 20th, between a party of soldiers and the thimble-rig gang. Twelve soldiers who were left behind after the main body had retired were severely beaten. It does not appear that any lives were lost. China. The disturbances at Canton, arising from the determination of the Government to put an end to the trade in opium, had not subsided on the 19th of April last. The foreigners who had engaged in the traffic were still imprisoned in the factories, and there was in consequence a general suspension of business. All communication be tween Canton and Macao having been cut off, ships were lying idle awaiting the result of the proceedings on the part of the Commissioners. Some of the opium formerly seized by the Chinese authorities had been delivered up, and it was expected that all of it would be surrendered sooner or later. The Singapore papers of the 23d of May mention that the Siamese authorities, in imitation of the Chinese Government, had made a seizure of opium. Spain.—By the London Globe of the 2d of September it would seem that the rumor of the surrender of Don Car los was gathering strength, as will appear by the follow ing article: Globe Office, Monday Evening, September 2,2 o'clock. The arrival of Saturday’s mail from Paris puts us in pos session of later intelligence from the seat of war in Spain. General Maroto has deserted the Carlists and joined the Queen’s army, and it is even reported that Don Carlos is a prisoner in the hands of Espartero. Three o’clock. Surrender of Don Carlos. —We can only call the at tention of our readers to the rumor which will be found under our city head, dated two o’clock, to the effect that Don Carlos has surrendered to Espartero, and that Maroto has joined his forces to those of his legitimate sovereign, the Queen of Spain. Another rumor current is, that Don Carlos has surren dered to Lord John Hay, and claimed the protection of the British flag. In either case the war in Spain is necessarily at an end. It will be seen by the following letter from our Paris correspondent, that there is every probability of the above rumor being well-founded: 1 Paris, Aug. 31. —A telegraphic despach was received yesterday by the Government, dated Bayonne, Aug. 30, stat ing that the conference between the Carlist chiefs had broken up, and that the conclusion being unfavorable to any arrange ment between themselves, Maroto had recommenced his march and made his dispositions for putting himself into correspon dence with Espartero. A Cabinet council was held yesterday, immediately after the receipt of the telegraphic despatch, and before 5 o’clock a tele graphic despatch in return was sent off to Bayonne. It is stat ed, and I believe truly, that Maroto has made overtures to France and England, inviting them to interfere to put an end to the civil war. Despatches were sent off to England last night, which had reference probably to this circumstance. The Government had not, up to two o’clock, received any thing new from the East, but the last communications are said to have been very satisfactory. It is generally believed that the question of Syria will be partially ceded to the Viceroy, but that good guaranties will be taken against the probability here after of any disturbance of the peace between Turkey and Egypt, through the warlike propensities of Ibrahim. “It is rumored on ’change this afternoon that Don Carlos has expressed a wish to quit Spain, finding his cause hopeless, and to leave the arrangement in the hands of the great Powers of Europe This is not improbable, but no official information of the kind has been received.” From Madrid, direct, August 23d, it is stated that the Queen was in high spirits at the prospect of the termina tion of the civil war. Ximines had presented his resigna tion, and the Queen told him he had acted wisely in so do ing, the inference from which remark was, that he would have been removed had he not resigned. The Minister is represented as having left a strong protest against the acts of his colleagues, and a storm is anticipated on the assem bling of the Cortez, between Pita and Ximines, on the one hand, and the ins on the other. Balbao, the new commander of La Mancha, has orders to hold himself in readiness with the 8,000 men under him to march to the capital, if requisite. Is this to coerce the deputies? is the question naturally asked. The Gazette preserves the deepest silence about the sup posed transactions at the army of the North, which it was at least expected to deny. From Bilboa there are letters of the 15th a force of 2500 men, with cavalry and artillery, marched out the night before, but returned without any en gagement. Three hundred men of the sth Carlist battal ion of Alava had mutinied and deserted, having occupied the height of Pagassari, within half a league of Bilboa, threatening their officers to go to Bilboa and lay down their arms. The Carlist commander of the province, Goira, fearing that they may do so, supplies them with rations to prevent their executing this threat. They have even occupied the fortified hermitage of San Roque, and ejected the rebel de tachment stationed there; and four companies of Lugui’s battalion joined them in the night, crying, Muero Maro to, and the bad Government.” EVENING SCHOOL.— The subscriber will com mence an Evening School in the City Academy in Wash ington, on street, on Monday, the 30th of September.

FROM Mr. WILLIS’S JOTTINGS DOWN IN LONDON. I have driven in the Park several days, admiring the Queen on horseback, and observing the changes in the fashions of driving, equipages, &c. Her Majesty seems to me to ride securely and fearlessly, though it is no wonder that, in a country where every body rides, there should be bolder and better horsewomen. Miss Quintin, one of the Maids of Honor, said to be the best female equestrian in England, takes the courage out” of the Queen’s horse every morning before the ride—so she is secured against one class of accidents. I met the royal party yesterday in full gallop near the centre of Rotten Row, and the two grooms who ride ahead had brief time to do their work of making the crowd of carriages give way. On came the Queen upon a dun colored, highly groomed horse, with her Prime Minister on one side of her, and Lord Byron on the other, her cortege of maids of honor and ladies and lords in waiting checking their more spirited horses, and preserving always a slight distance between themselves and Her Majesty. Victoria’s round plump figure looks extremely well in her dark green riding dress, but I thought the man’s hat unbecoming. Her profile is not sufficiently good for that trying style, and the cloth riding cap is so much prettier, that I wonder she does not remember that nice customs curtsy to great Queens” and wear what suits her. She rode with her mouth open, and looked ex hilarated with the exercise. Lord Melbourne, it struck me, was the only person in her party whose face had not the constrained look of consciousness of observation. I observe that the crack men” ride without martin gales, and that the best turn-outs are driven without a check rein. The out-stretched neck, which is the conse quence, has a sort of Arab or blood look, probably the ob ject of the change but the drooping head, when the horse is walking or standing, seems to me ugly and out of taste. All the new carriages are built near the ground. The low paik-phsston, light as a child’s plaything, and drawn by a pair of ponies, is the fashionable equipage. I saw the pret tiest thing conceivable of this kind yesterday in the park—a lady driving small cream-colored horses of great beauty, with her two children in the phieton, and two grooms behind, mounted on cream-colored saddle horses, all four of the animals of the finest shape and action. The new street cabs (precisely the old-fashion ed sedan chair suspended between four wheels, a foot from the ground,) are imitated by the private carriages, and driven with two horses—ugly enough. The cab-phseton (of which there was a very handsome specimen at Collins Lawrence’s when I left New York) is in great fashion, with either one or two horses. The race of ponies is great ly improved since I was in England. They are as well shaped as the large horse, with very fine coats and great spirit. The children of the nobility go scampering through the park upon them, looking like horsemen and horse women seen through a reversed opera glass. They are scarce larger than a Newfoundland dog, but they pat ter along with great speed. There is one fine lad of about eight years old, whose parents seem to have very little care for his neck, and who, upon a fleet milk-white, long-tailed pony, is seen daily riding at a rate of twelve miles an hour through the most crowded streets, with a servant on a tall horse plying whip and spur to keep up with him. The whole system has the droll effect of a mixture of Lilliput and Brobdignag. Lady Blessington’s different carriages are still, each in their style, the most beautiful turn-outs in England, and D’Orsay’s fine figure and noble horsemanship give an air of superior elegance to his new sported dress of the old English gentleman—the blue coat, buff leathers, and Hes sian boots. Talking with him yesterday on horseback in a bright sunshine, I could not but marvel at the absolutely untouched youth and freshness of face—the skin as clear and faultless as a boy of fourteen, and his small delicate features showing not even the first beginning of the wear and tear of life. Yet D’Orsay must be somewhere between thirty-five and forty, and has lived a century of excitement and life.” What is his well of Canathos GLIMPSES OF LONDON. [from the same.] One of the most rational and agreeable of the fashionable resorts in London is Kensington Gardens, on the days when the Royal Band plays from five to seven, near the bridge of the Serpentine. Some twenty of the best instrumental mu sicians of London station themselves under the trees in this superb park, (for, though called Gardens,” it is but a park, with old trees and greensward,) and up and down the fine silky carpet stroll hundreds of the fashionables of May Fair and Belgrave Square,” listening a little, perhaps, and chatter ing a great deal, certainly. It is a good opportunity to see what celebrated beauties look like by daylight, and, truth to say, one comes to the conclusion there that candle-light is your true kalydor. It is very ingeniously contrived by the Grand Chamberlain that this public music should be played in a far away corner of the park, inaccessible except by those who have carriages. The plebeians, for whose use and pleasure it seems at first' sight graciously contrived, are pretty well sifted by the two miles walk, and a very aristo cratic and well-dressed assembly indeed is that of Kensing ton Gardens. Near the usual stand of the musicians runs a bridle-path for horsemen, separated from the greensward by a sunken fence; and, as I was standing by the edge of the ditch yes terday, the Queen rode by, pulling up to listen to the mu sic, and smiled right and left to the crowd of cavaliers drawn up in the road. I pulled off my hat and stood uncovered instinctively, but, looking around to see how the prome naders received her, 1 found to my surprise that, with the exception of a bald-headed nobleman whom I chanced to know, the Yankee stood alone in his homage to her Ma jesty. ‘‘There she goes, nasty little vixen!” said some one behind me. Ah, poor thing was the reply, she has had a hard time of it lately.” It is astonishing how the Flora Hastings business seems to have hardened the people’s hearts towards her. I thought, before I left America, that I should find the stamp of the new reign on manners, usages, conversation, and all the outer form and pressure of society. One can not fancy England under Elizabeth to have struck a stranger as did England under James. We think of Shakspeare, Leicester, and Raleigh, and conclude that, under a female sovereign, chivalry, at least, shines brighter, and poetry should. A good deal to my disappointment, I have looked in vain for even a symptom of the Queen’s influence on any thing. She is as completely isolated in England, as entirely above and out of the reach of the sympathies and common thoughts of society, as the gilt grasshopper on the steeple. At the opera and play, half the audience do not even know that she is there; in the park she rides among the throng with scarce a head turned to look after her; she is unthought of, and almost unmentioned, at balls, routs, and soirees her personal appearance, her modesty and mental qualities, are as freely and much more coldly dis cussed than those of the dancers of the opera; in short, the throne seems to stand on glass, with no non-conductor to connect it with the electric chain of human hearts and sympathies. I have expressed my surprise at this, once or twice, to intelligent persons in London; but it was very much like expressing wonder at the growth of trees, or the running of water. They never think about it. It has occurred to me, however, that the selection of the Queen’s Maids of Honor, or personal associates, from those of good birth to whom emolument is of importance—in other words, from reduced or retired families of the nobility and gentry —may be one reason why the Court is in a measure unfashiona ble among those whose prosperity and wealth constitute them the leaders of society in London. Then, again, the courtly circle, small as it necessarily is, is easily lost and forgotten in the vast extent of polished society in England; whereas, in the days of Elizabeth, every person, probably, of good family and position, came more or less into personal contact with the Queen and her courtiers. It seems odd, however, to one who has looked at it from a distance, to as sociate daily with those who by birth should be a part of the Queen’s retinue, and hear no more of her than of the Grand Lama, or the Invisible Woman who answers ques tions at the Adelaide Gallery. r l’H E UNITED STATES ALMANAC for 1840, containing astronomical calculations adapted to every State in the Union, the British Provinces in North America, and Texas, also exhibiting the number of votes in each State for President in 1836, and for Governors of the several States, and membersof Congress in 1838-’39.

WASHINGTON. “Liberty and Union,now and forever, one and inseparable.”' TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1839. The Amistad.—We learn, from the New York papers, that on Wednesday, the 18th in stant, on motion of the counsel for the three African girls, who were not implicated in the criminal charge, and were not bound over to await the action of the grand jury, a writ of habeas corpus was issued, directing the marshal to bring them up that on Thursday, after va rious libels and claims in relation to the Amis tad had been read and filed, the three girls were brought up that, on the next day, the return to the habeas corpus was elaborately argued and that the Court delivered its charge to the grand jury, instructing them that the act for which Cinguez and his associates stood charged, hav ing been committed on board a Spanish vessel, was not cognizable in our courts. The Court had previously decided that the negroes could not be held under the claim of Lieut. Gedney for salvage. The decisions on these two points greatly simplify the case, and will piobably lead to a speedy disposition of all the questions in volved in it. The Journal of Commerce states, on the au thority of a letter from Mazatlan, (July 31,) that peace had been established in Peru, and that Gamarra would probably continue President. Pressure in the Money Market.—The New York Courier and Enquirer, in its com ments on the news received by the British Queen, has the following remarks: There is one circumstance which evidently adds much to the uneasiness felt in London, which seems entirely lost sight of; and that is, the high rate of interest prevailing on private securities. It cannot be otherwise than that while private securities of undoubted solvency command a dis count of from 7 to 10 per cent., the public, such as consols and Exchequer bills, paying an interest of but about three per cent, should gradually fall in price, and that capital should be withdrawn from the latter and invested in the former. To the English people, accustomed to place so high an estimate on their Government stock, the conse quent decline in its value is naturally a source of increased anxiety, added to which, is the still existing uncertainty on the result of the harvest. If the fears prevalent in regard to the latter should prove well founded, there is no saying to what extent the embarrassment of the London money market may reach, yet we cannot see why itshould further affect the state of things here. There is an end for the present, and probably for a long time to come, of all further loans in Europe on State stocks, but then there is less pro bability of a demand here for specie to ship; and, though the consumption of cotton may be somewhat diminished, it has become an article of such primary necessity that, not withstanding the value of it may rule somewhat lower than it has done under more auspicious circumstances, there is no danger, we think, of its not commanding a price which will fully remunerate the planter for the cost of its pro duction.” The New York Star says we have a speci men of the arbitrary exercise of power by the Government, and of its determination to control the finances and business of the country, if the People will permit it, in the fact that at Mine ral Point (Mo.) the land office edict is, to take no notes but the Missouri Bank and branches, and the Bank of Mineral Point; while at Springfield (Illinois) those of the Bank of the United States, and others of Philadelphia and New York, are taken. Health of New Orleans and Mobile.— The most recent intelligence on this painfully interesting subject is the following from the last number of the New Orleans Bulletin The weather, for the last three days, has been very fine—cool with an east wind. The sickness has much abated, whether owing to a change in the weather or for want of subjects, we are unable to say. Yet, notwithstand ing this fact, we still have no hopes that the fever will leave this city entirely before a frost; and, should many stran gers arrive, it is most probable that it will again break out with as much intensity as ever. “We have no accounts from Mobile. The mail boats, we believe, do not go further, during the sickness, than Pascagoula, and the newspapers have all suspended pub lishing entirely for the present. The country up the coast and in the interior part of the State is reported to be sickly, but we cannot learn to what extent.” Health of Augusta.—We learn from Au gusta that there has been no melioration in the sickness at that place. The Constitutionalist of last Thursday says During the past week, the weather has been very un favorable for the health of our city—the mornings and evenings being cool, while in the middle of the day the heat has been very oppressive. Our city is still suffering from the disease which made its appearance about a month ago, and we are sorry that we are not able to give to the absent the glad tidings that they may return, for, in our opinion, and from the opinion of those with whom we have conversed, (when we take into consideration the large number of inhabitants who have left, and the small num ber remaining,) we must say that we can see no diminu tion, and the disease appears more fatal at the present than at any time since its commencement. Every thing that could be done by our city authorities has been done to remove the reputed causes for disease, but it still continues, and we do not look for its discon tinuance until we have rain sufficient to swell our river, (which, at the present time, is lower than ever before known by our oldest inhabitants,) or until we have a very heavy frost. From the commencement of the disease up to the 12th instant, there were ninety deaths reported, viz. 81 whites and 9 blacks. Since the 12th, up to the present time, (19th,) the following additional deaths by fever have been reported by the Board Allen Andrews, Mrs. Anna Fox, Mrs. James John son, Richard F. Bush, Thomas Averell, James Haggerty, Capt. Wm. Colvin, Mitchel Nelson, Mrs. Sturgis, a child, (name unknown,) George Lark, all residents; M. M. Brown, Connecticut; Charles Smith, resident; Mrs. Catherine Albert, Germany; Martha Scott, unknown; Thomas Phillip, C. Batty, residents; Mr. Thomas Lynn, Ireland; Sarah Washington, resident; Mrs. Hart, Ire land child of Asa Smith, 3 years old, Elijah Garrett, John Henderson, all residents; John Hart, Ireland; Mrs. Jane Mitchell, non-resident; Isaac Reighter, Pennsylvania Mrs. Frazer, A. Stutzman, Edward Martin, Mrs. Wm. Haynes, Mrs. Ann Norrcll, Mrs. Martha Turman, all re sidents and 4 negroes.—36.” Another of the captured Africans, named Bulwa, (or Woolah,) died in New Haven on Saturday night week. This is the third who has died in that city, and the thir teenth since their leaving Havana. By an order of the French Government, the health offi cer of Havre is directed, after the first of September, to re quire of every passenger arriving in the New York pack ets a bill of health, in failure of which in the case of any passenger, the ship will be subjected to quarantine, and the captain summoned before the court to answer for a vi olation of the law. kbiroßS' Correspondence. Messrs. Gat.es Seaton: In my last I gave some brief views of the geography and geology of this, in both res pects, as well as politically, new country.

There is one cir cumstance in the contrast between the towns east and west of the Ohio river, which must strike the most superficial observer; that is, the very superior external appearance of the latter. This is the case from the smallest village to the largest city. As in regard to individuals, those persons are (grievously mistaken who suppose that, in point of interest, even towns and cities are independent of externals. But, to leave mere matters of taste to the progress of things, we pass on to those of substance. If we add Wheeling, at one extreme, to Columbus, at the other, and include the mean points, we have in a dis tance of one hundred and twenty-seven miles a population of about thirty-five thousand on a line of country the writer of this article saw a wilderness. Wheeling was founded by Ebenezer Zane and brothers, in 1769, but in 1793, twenty-four years afterwards, when first seen by the writ er, there were at the place thirteen or fourteen dwelling houses, only two or three of which were frames, the resi due log-houses. The city of Wheeling now contains at least twelve thousand inhabitants, if we include the en virons on both sides of the creek from which the name is derived. Then, 1793, an Indian war was raging, and only two years before, in 1791, the United States army under Gen. Harmar was more than once defeated very near where the fine city stands in which this is written. The ensuing year, 1792, on the 4th of November, a still more signal defeat was sustained by another United States army under Gen. St. Clair, not one hundred miles from Colum bus. “In this fatal battle fell 38 commissioned officers and 593 non-commissioned officers and privates; 21 commis sioned officers, many of whom afterwards died of their wounds, and 242 non-commissioned officers and privates were wounded.”* Gen. Scott, with a force of about one thousand Ken tucky militia, soon afterwards surprised the Indian victors on the same ground, and chastised them, with a loss of up wards of two hundred of the savages, and with very few whites; but 1793 opened with the Indians being, with the exception of a few detached points, masters of the great region northwestward of the river Ohio. The war was one involving every horror incident to human contention; and if not before, after St. Clair’s de feat, it became a conflict on the part of the whites for personal defence against death, with every dreadful concomitant. The Government, justly blamed for not ap preciating the enemy, or the difficulties opposed by an un cultivated wilderness, and for not exerting itself to remove the British from Detroit and other Northwestern posts, was now reduced to the point of honor. General St. Clair re signed, and General Wayne was appointed to the com mand on a theatre where Indian victory seemed the inevi table result of every conflict. With Wayne, however, the scene changed but 1793 passed rather in reorganizing a scattered force, and in preparation to insure victory, than in any military movements of actual hostility. The inflat ed and misguided savages refused every offer of peace, and murdered Colonel Hardin and Major Truman, sent to them under the safeguard of a flag the issue was then ren dered desperate, unless such an* enemy could be crushed by arms. In the debates arising on this fearful occasion, it was proven that, in seven years, from 1783 to 1790, not less than fifteen hundred persons, men, women, and chil dren, had been massacred, or carried into a captivity only less terrible than death itself, from Kentucky whilst few, if any less numbers, suffered a like fate from Western Vir ginia and Pennsylvania. But the hour of savage triumph closed with 1793. On the Bth of August, 1794, General Wayne reached the fatal field of St. Clair’s defeat, named it Fort Recovery, advanced' upon the savage force, and gave it a decisive defeat on the 20th of the same month. Such was, nevertheless, the confidence and exasperation of the savages, that another year had to be employed to bring them to terms but on the 3d of August, 1795, was signed the highly important treaty of Greenville. Highly import ant, however, as this convention was to the whites, it was, by all odds, more so to the Indians, as, had the war con tinued, not a remnant of them could have long survived. But, leaving what some may deem hypothetical, let us re turn to the field of realities. The peace of August, 1795, was amongst the most productive of great results. The east ern side of the Ohio river was altogether relieved from the fearful apprehension of savage barbarity and the immense regions trans-Ohio opened to civilized immigration. 1 was then residing at Wheeling when the glad news arrived of as it was then called, Wayne’s Treaty,” and can fully endorse the following expressions: The news of it Wayne’s Treaty] was received every where with the most lively joy. Every one had cause of gratulation. The hardy warriors, whose exploits we have recounted, felt that they were relieved from the immense responsibilities which rested upon them as the guardians and protectors of the infant settlements. The new settlers could now clear their wild lands and cultivate their rich fields in peace—without fearing the ambush and the rifles of a secret foe and the tenants of the scattered cabins could now sleep in safety, and without the dread of being wak ened by the midnight war-whoop of the savage, “fhose who had been pent up in forts and stations joyfully sallied forth, and settled wherever the soil and local advantages appeared the most inviting.”+ These words, so vividly descriptive of the times, cannot be felt in all their force by the now flourishing and happy generation, but only by the remnants of those times of de privation, want, peril, and death, who yet survive, and who can cast a retrospect on days now passed forever. Of these remnants lam one, but despair ofimpartingtomany others the deep feelings of interest and delight with which I re member the past and view the present. When this com munication was commenced, my intention was to fill it with statistical details, but the life of Boon, the great pioneer of Kentucky, called up recollections which, 1 am proud to say, bore my mind away to that heroic age in which my infant years were spent, and to imaginary converse with the mighty dead, many of whom I personally knew, and whose graves I regard as sacred repositories. Paying to them my humble share of a debt of gratitude, I shall leave to an other day notices of cities, towns, churches, schools, and asylums for the insane, blind, and deaf— structures whose foundations were laid in fact by those rough and hardy hands now mouldering in dust. A TRAVELLER. Flint’s Life of Daniel Boon, p. 218. t lb. p. 226. Columbus, Sept. 14, 1839. CAMP WASHINGTON AT TRENTON. The Editor of the New York American recently made a visit to the Encampment of United States troops at Trenton, and in his paper of Thursday has furnished the following graphic and interesting account of what came under his observation The morning’s sun rose bright, and, having some remi niscences of camp life, we resolved to commence our mili tary day with seeing the new guard turned off, and the old one relieved. Accordingly, by eight o’clock we were on the way to the field. The campis formed on the Trenton race-course, distant about a mile from the centre of the town, and having the Delaware, distant about a mile, on one side, and the Assanpink on the other. The tents are pitched on the border of a fine grove of young trees, which afford both shade and shelter; and, as viewed from the old Gluaker road, by which the encampment is approached, it presents a very striking spectacle—the white tents brought out and finely relieved by a back ground and over-arching canopy of green. The strains of the band announced, as we reached the ground, that the guard was formed; and we soon saw the drum-major, with his flourishing staff—a fine looking fel low, but less ornamented and bedizened than his proto type in European services—marching at the head of his forces along the line of the new guard, which was soon af ter presented to the officer of the day, and, after saluting, marched to its quarters. An interval of some two hours was to intervene before the troops were to parade for re view, and this was diligently and agreeably employed in wandering about the camp, renewing old acquaintances for the 4th artillery, which constitutes the main force of the encampment, has, ever since the Black Hawk war, been in constant active and distant service—and admiring the remarkable order and cleanliness of this linen city of the woods. We will endeavor to convey to our uninitiated readers some notion of the manner in which the camp is laid out. The soldiers’ tents are pitched facing streets that run at right angles with the line of the encampment, so that, to the spectator in front, the sides of the tents are presented and those of adjoining companies are, of course, back to back. In each tent there are, we believe, seven men. At some distance behind the soldiers’ tents, and in a line par allel with the front, are the wall tents, as they are called, of the company officers —the captains in rear of the right, the lieutenants in rear of the left, of the company. On another parallel line, in the rear, are the tents of the field and staff officers, and in rear of the centre of the line that of the colonel. Where various arms are together, as at Trenton, they are encamped according to an established order of precedence. The service of the most honor, and which, therefore, takes the right on all occasions, when different troops are assem bled, is the light or flying artillery then the cavalry and then the foot artillery, according to the numbers of their regiments; and, lastly, the infantry. With these explana tions, we ask the reader to accompany us in a walk over the camp. On the right, the attention is first arrested by a fine bat tery of field-pieces, six pounders, with all the appendages of limbers, caissons, and spare wheels to guard against the effect of accident. Behind them are encamped the light artillery—a detachment of about 70 men, commanded by Captain Ringgold, a cavalier and a gentleman, who under stands men as well as he does guns and horses. Immediately in front of the battery, the horses belonging to the cannon and to the artillerists are picketted under a temporary cov ering erected for them. On the left of, and in line with, the flying artillery is a detachment of the 2d regiment of dragoons, under Captain Sumner—some 90 or 100 men—whom the example and instruction of their commander have made into Centaurs, so much did horse and man, while on parade, seem one ani mal. Their horses are, like those of the artillery, placed some distance in front of the tents. Next in order come two companies of the 2d artillery, and then the whole 4th artillery, under the command of Colonel Fanning, with Major Belton and Major Erving for his field officers. On the left of the line, and at a proper interval, was the double tent of the General Commanding, Brigadier Gene ral Eustis—a soldier who is as just as he is impartial, and who, neglecting no point of duty himself, suffers no neglect in others. With these characteristics, and as an officer of approved merit, courage, and service, he has the entire confi dence of his brother soldiers. But the drums are beating, and the glittering cohorts are fast assembling. Looking abroad, moreover, on the field, we see it covered with a multitude of people on foot, on horseback, in vehicles of all descriptions the race stand is filling with ladies, and lo! as Captain Ringgold, with his flying artillery, sweeps by at speed, the ear is startled with the earthquake rumble of his death-dispensing can non. Soon is he followed at a rapid gallop by the dragoons; and anon, in ordered march and long array, come up the foot artillery, each occupying the allotted ground with the precision of veterans. The line is formed; but what buzzing and hardly sup pressed murmur of approbation is that which reaches us from the assembled multitude? Looking beyond, we see advancing the reviewing officer, in full uniform, and mount ed on a steed which, though not less than 16 hands high, seemed diminutive beneath its lofty rider. Major General Scott was about to take his place in front of the line, and, as we looked upon his imposing and noble form, and asso ciated therewith the perils he had encountered at his coun try’s call, and the good services he had done her, it was not difficult to account for that admiring murmur which only the sense of what was due at such a moment to mili tary propriety was effectual in suppressing. As the General reached the front, the whole line saluted, trumpets sounding, banners waving, and drums beating, and yet the line itself steady and immovable as if carved out of stone. After acknowledging the salute, and scruti nizing for a brief space the appearance of the troops, the General, accompanied by his Aid, rode down the line, and along the rear to the front again, when the whole broke into column, and gave him the marching salute, both at or dinary and quick time. This was executed with great pre cision and when it was remembered that, except for the few weeks they have been at Trenton, these troops had probably never been formed before, and manoeuvred as a regiment, the accuracy of their marchings and evolutions proved that the time of the encampment had been well and diligently employed. The reviewing being accomplished, the troops performed a variety of evolutions; the light artillery rushed across the field, swung their pieces to the front, unlimbered, the men dismounted, the horses ranged to the rear almost of themselves, and the cannon were discharged, limbered, loaded, and off again, almost in a time as short as that oc cupied in reading this paragraph. While the eye is following the rapid movements of this corps, a cloud of cavalry sweeps by in full charge, swords projected, bodies inclined forward, and rushing over the ground with hot haste, yet with unbroken front. As they pass, they uncover the foot artillery, performing the evolu tions of the line, forming and displaying column, the square, changing front forward or to the rear, and moving, though without music, in accurate time and distance. Altogether, the display was gratifying and creditable, and, though on a small scale, gave good earnest of the skill and efficiency both of officers and men. After the parade, the Reviewing General received the visits of his brother officers at the tent of General Eustis, and cordial indeed seemed the interchange of courtesies between them. In the evening a ball was given by the officers, where those who had been merely spectators in the morning—the bright-eyed and beautiful—became the chief actors, and in their turn asserted dominion over the plumed and mailed warriors who had carried off the palms of the morning. Upon the whole, we have rarely spent a more agreeable day, and it was no little addition to our gratification to hear from every quarter in the city of Trenton uniform testi mony borne to the deportment and character of the officers, as well bred, well-educated, modest, and moral men. Such we have long known to be the character of our little army; but we were glad to have our judgment confirmed by the universal voice of all classes of citizens, among whom this portion of them are now sojourning. Where are the Federalists.—The New Hampshire Courier furnishes us with a very impressive answer to this inquiry, it states that on opening a file of the New Hamp shire Patriot for the year 1811, it saw the names of the twelve Republican candidates for State Senators to be chosen that year —Jeffersonian Republicans. Five of these are now living: They are, William Plumer, now a Whig; David L. Morrill, a Whig; Josiah Sanborn, a Whig; Samuel Quarles, a Whig; and Joshua Darling, a Whig! Not a Locofoco among them. But the leaders of the Administration party in New Hampshire are the Hub bards, the Waldrons, and the Cushmans, who, at that time, were rank Federalists. Facts like these are a stinging commentary upon the unblushing pretensions of the Ad ministration party to be regarded as the inheritors of the Jeffersonian principles.— Lynchburg Virginian.

FROM THE NEW ORLEANS BEE. One of our exchange papers furnishes the following de tails concerning the creation of banking capital in Missis sippi In 1830 there was but a single bank in Mississippi, with the exception of the Branch Bank of the United States, with a capital of $350,000. During the session of the Le gislature that year, the Planters’ Bank was incorporated with a capital of $3,000,000. In 1833 were incorporated the Western Feliciana Railroad and Banking Company, capital $1,000,000; the Vicksburg Railroad, capital $3,- 000,000; and the Grand Gulf Railroad, capital $2,000,000 In 1836 the following institutions were created Mississip pi Railroad, capital $8,000,000; Commercial Bank of Rod ney, $800,000; Commercial Bank of Columbus, $1,000,- 000; Tombigby Railroad,s2,ooo,ooo; Aberdeen and Pon totoc, $1,000,000 Commercial Bank of Manchester, sl,- 000,000; Agricultural Bank of Mississippi, $600,000; Commercial Bank of Natchez, $3,000,000 Brandon Bank, $4,000,000; forming an augmentation of banking capital of $21,400,000. In 1837 were incorporated the Port Gib son Bank, $1,000,000; Vicksburg Bank, $3,000,000; Vicksburg Water-works, $500,000; Northern Bank of Mississippi, $2,000,000; Hernando Railroad, $1,000,000; Bank of Grenada, $1,000,000; Bank of Lexington, sl,- 000,000; Benton and Manchester Railroad, $1,000,000; making an increase of $10,500,000. In 1838 the Mam moth Union Bank was incorporated with a capital of $15,- 500,000. To recapitulate: Banking capital in 1830 $3,000,000 Increase in 1833 6,000,000 Do. in 1836 21,400,000 Do. in 1837 10,500,000 Do. in 1838 15,500,000 60,200,000 Add to this sum the capital of institutions not chartered, based upon real estate 15,000,000 Total $75,000,000 Since General Jackson vetoed the Bank of the United States, the local banks in Mississippi have multiplied pro digiously, and the banking capital has increased more than sixty millions. Those who are perpetually declaiming against banks and banking are the very creators of this superfluous banking capital, and Governor McNutt, who is represented as the quintessence of unadulterated locofo ism, voted in favor of the creation of the majority of these banks. DECISION CONCERNING PROMISSORY NOTES. FROM THE NEWARK DAILY ADVERTISER. •At the late term of the Supreme Court of New Jersey an important decision was made, in the case of Brittin vs. Freeman, affecting usurious transactions with promissory notes, and the admissibility of endorsers as witnesses. As this decision is of importance to the Public, we have ob tained the following summary of the points decided for publication. It was decided— -Ist. That the endorser of a note, or other negotiable in strument, in a suit between other parties thereto, is a com petent witness to prove that the instrument, or the endorse ment thereof, was made on a usurious or other corrupt or unlawful agreement; or to prove any other matter tend ing to defeat the plaintiff’s recovery. And, 2d. That if the holder of a promissory note, valid in its creation between the original parties, endorsed it to an other by a general endorsement, for a less sum than the amount due upon it, after deducting legal interest, the transaction will be usurious, unless the excess retained by the endorsee was allowed to him to cover the expense of remittance or the difference of exchange between the place of the transaction and the place where the note is payable; but such allowance must not be used as a mere cover for taking more than legal interest. 3d. That such usurious endorsee cannot recover upon the note against his immediate endorser, nor against any prior party to the note. 4th. That if the holder of a note transfer it by delivery or by endorsement without recourse to him, it is a sale, anc not a discount, ofthe note, and consequently not usurious, though the vender gets for it much less than it is actually worth —provided such transaction was not resorted to for the purpose of effecting a loan at a greater interest than is allowed by law. An aerial Chase well described. —It is seldom that the denizens of a city have an opportunity of seeing as in teresting a sight as was witnessed by several gentlemen from Ferry Bar on Sunday morning week. A large Bald Eagle was seen skimming the air and floating up the river on a foraging expedition, for the replenishment of his royal larder; but, apparently finding no quarry worthy a stoop, he soared away, and was lost to the sight in the clouds. A short time after, a fish-hawk appeared, and, squinting with a knowing glance across the broad sheet of water, pounced upon a fine fat fish, and, mounting, prepared to return to his nest up the south branch. He had not flown far before he put about, and, steering in the wind’s eye, sailed down towards the bay with all the swiftness his powers could compass. Presently a dark speck was seen a mile or two in his wake, and soon the royal bird was discovered dart ing after his prey, his tail stuck a-peak, and his wings com pressed, flapping with a rapidity that sent him along with the swiftness of an arrow from the bow of bold Robin Hood. The hawk knew his pursuer, and practised a ruse by darting upwards when about a mile this side ofthe fort. The eagle darted under him, and rising apparently perpen dicularly, a few feet above the hawk, gave him a flap with one of his wings, which caused him to drop the fish, and the royal pirate, dropping from his airy height, caught the fish before it reached the water, and skimmed off triumph ant, leaving the poor hawk to seek his breakfast where he best might find it. It is thus with mankind. We see a petty prince plundering his neighbor, until a more powerful one, like the eagle with the hawk, robs him in turn, and reaps the reward of his tyranny.— Balt. Sun. Shocking Death.—Samuel Wildrick, a steady, indus trious young man, at the time engaged on the Auburn and Syracuse railroad as a collector, was killed on Friday even ing week at the railroad depot in the village of Onondaga, New York, by being caught between one of the cars and a door post, as the train was leaving for Auburn. He was attempting to get into the car. He expired in about twen ty minutes, during which time he was wholly insensible. Shocking Occurrence. The Charlottesville (Va.) Advocate states that, whilst Mr. Jesse Garth and his lady, of that neighborhood, were looking at their cattle on Friday evening of last week, bis Durham cow, which had a young calf by her side, made a furious attack upon Mrs. Garth, knocked her down and gored and trampled her in such a shocking manner that her life is despaired of. Mr. G., who ran to the reliefof his wife, was also knocked down and sustained considerable injury. This cow had been procured from Connecticut at great expense, and was a particular favorite with Mr. and Mrs. G., and, before this occurrence, was considered a tractable and well-disposed animal. Mrs. G. wore a red bonnet on the occasion, which is the only cause that we have heard assigned for the attack on her. DEATHS. At Burlington, (I. T.) in the 78th year of his age, Mr. LUTHER BAILEY, a native of Vermont, and a soldier of the Revolution. [communicated.] Died, at Black Creek, East Florida, wheie he had just emigrated for the purpose of pursuing his trade, Mr. WIL LIAM SHEKELL, son of Richard Shekell, of this city, in the 24th year of his age. The deceased was well known and estimated by this community, among whom he had resided from the time of his birth, and sustained a cha racter distinguished for its probity. ORATORIO.

Gentlemen At the request of a lady who never fails to attend the performances of the Band, I make the follow ing suggestions: That the Band, as the evenings are growing shorter, come at five in the afternoon and as the pieces are to the Public unknown, (many of them, it is understood, the ori ginal productions of the Leader of the Band,) that a list of the pieces which the Band will perform on the coming Tuesdays and Fridays, with the name of the composer, be inserted in the Intelligencer on Monday preceding well assured of the pleasure with which you will find a place for this programme of the week’s entertainment. The number at the Capitol on last Friday evening was greater than on any evening during the season, and the love of music is evidently increasing and it must be a source of pleasure to the Band to see that it is so. I hope, when Congress shall come, all who wish well to the Band will not forget to press their claims to consideration. It is hoped that the Band will not be discouraged and, although winter is coming, ye» many bright and beautiful days are yet to come, and, until cold weather, the Band, we hope, will meet at the Capitol.

This variety of the Mulberry being considered superior to any other for the important purpose so very interesting to our whole coun try, my gardener has paid no particular attention to any other although he has cultivated a few white mulberry plants, besides those set in hedges on lands in this vicinity, and also a few Al pine plants or trees. My Multicaulis Trees are remarkably flourishing and vigorous, and are, generally, from five to ten feet tall, and'still apparently in rapid growth—many of them be ing supposed to be the best of yearling growth in this country. In order to save trouble and uncertainty as to terms,^c. I think it proper to state that I am determined to sell by the bud, which is the true rule for estimating the value of a tree for pro pagation that they may be bought or contracted for at two cents per bud, until the first of November next: that those not sold or engaged by that time will be properly secured and pro tected against all possible hazards of the ensuing winter, and will probably be for sale next February or March, at four cents per bud. Many of the trees may be seen in my square in this city. Apply by letter or otherwise to Mr. Frederick Rohling, Gardener, or myself. JOHN P. VAN NESS. sept 24—3 t (Globe Madisonian) CAUTION.

TESTIMONIAL. Baltimore, S. Liberty St., Feb. 13, 1839. To G. E. Pryor Co. —Gentlemen: I willingly comply with your request to furnish a statement of the case in which your Dyspeptic Cordial was used with so much advantage. It is briefly thus: My niece, Mrs. Wallace, had been suffering for several months under a train of symptoms, such as usual ly denote the worst form of Dyspepsia, viz. defective appetite, impaired digestion, languor, debility, &c. These symptoms were, at length, followed by great depression of spirits, sleep lessness, and nervous agitation, while every article swallowed, even water, was followed by distressing pain. While in this situation, a friend passing through Baltimore, who had resided in your State, and was familiar with its effects, advised the use of a bottle of “Drs. Dresbach, Kuhn, Pryor’s Dyspeptic Cor dial,” the use of which, in a few days, gave great relief, and finally cured her. PHILEMON TOWSON. For sale in Washington by Rob’t S. Patterson, E. H. C. H.
