EWING, OF INDIANA, In reply to Mr. BYNUM, on the General Ap propriation Bill in the House of Represenla lives Friday, May 9, 1834. Mr. EWING, of Indiana, said:—The gentle man from N. C. (Mr. Bynum) has excited feel ings and apprehensions in my bosom which I would gladly suppress. I should much rather accord with the opinions of those whom the peo ple have clothed with power, than in the con scientious performance of my duty in this House to be compelled to oppose them. The claims for power advanced on the part of the present Executive so far as sanctioned by the Constitu tion, I most cheerfully accord to him, and no man is more ready to award him the meed of gratitude for his military services. But when, fn the language of the honorable member from North Carolina, tacit obedience and blind ac quiescence are claimed for his civil services as the only test of patriotism; and when those who question his fallibility with full knowledge of the fatal effects of his civil career, are, denounced as base calumniators and traitors, and the battle of New Orleans” and that monster the United States’ Banx,” are held up as the reasons for the assumptions of unlimited power, and as evidence of the baseness and profliga cy of those who question them; it is time for the representatives of freemen, men who know their rights and knowing, dare maintain them” to repel such declarations and to absolve themselves from the bondage to which such sla vish doctrines would lead them and their coun try. in adopting this course, I still manifest no undue want of confidence in the Executive, but I will not allow his talents as a General, or his i fame in the field to be placed here as an offset to the pernicious effects of his civil career. Nor do I acknowledge any responsibility to him, or to his partisans here, for my course on this floor. It was not to serve him or to register his will, but to represent the people and watch over their interests, that I have been sent here. Can those who in this House yield passive obedience to all his pretensions to power, go home and tell their constituents, that the glory of New Orleans, the fame of the hero, demanded a sacrifice of their interests and the prostration of the Constitution? Can they thus shield themselves from the indig nation of a free people, for sacrificing their in terests and tampering with public liberty? On the contrary, will they not at home, change their views and urge the good of the country as their great polar star. 1 come, sir, from a State in the interior, among the last to be affected by the foreign relations of the country, and in the few remarks I now submit, I will confine myself to the amendment which only exacts from the President obedience to constitutional enact ments. When I hear it boldly on the floor de clared that the President of the United States is not responsible to Congress, and at the same time, accompanied with declarations containing allegations disreputable to the representatives of the people—then 1 feel myself called upon to invoke that Constitution which we and the Pres ident have sworn to support, and to fling back the foul and degrading imputations. Sir, in turning my eye to the Constitution, I see it clear ly laid down that the President is responsible to Congress, and had it not been for the confidence in the purity of his intentions, probably he would ere this be called before this House and be made to feel his responsibility. It would be as useless for me to spend time in dilating on the language of the Constitution, with which every member is familiar, as it should be known to the people to be for his partisans here to drag in the*battle ot New Orleans and the United States’ Bank to justify his various assumptions of power. But when we know that vacancies have long existed at the courts of St. Petersburg!) and St. James, that five months of the session have ex pired, and.no nominations have been made for the concurrent power of the Senate to fill these vacancies—no'effort to obtain the constitutional sanction of the most important functionaries at home, and when we reflect on the power hereto fore exercised, there is more than abundant reason to recommend and justify the amend ment of the gentleman from South Carolina.— Our foreign relations must always, more or less, operate on the internal trade of the country; and while I would not withhold, or improperly restrict the expenditure necessary to sustain them, I will not vote the people’s money to the unconstitutional discretion of any President; nor shall I admit that those who act with me are guilty of utter treachery or treason when they refuse to accept charges against the United l_J .1__J i_... rtf \Trt... oiaicb ua lift, auu uiu auuitu vioui v* Orleans, as valid reason on which to rest his claims to a discretionary or unconstitutional po wer. 1 have been mistaken in the lofty bearing of General Jackson’s own mind, if he would desire always to have his claims to obedience in this House, founded on the military glory of New Orleans; and be his desires what they may in that particular, 1 shall not yield to them. I came here to serve and to obey the people, to advance their prosperity and to guard their in terests, not blindly to register his dictates. We are to be sure told that the Constitution is safe in his keeping. I think it at least not less safe when the people’s representatives shall exact an observance of all its requisitions. Will this course draw’ dow n upon me the denunciations le velled against those with w’hom 1 have the honor to act? Could those who abuse the glory of New’ Orleans, by comparing it to that acquired by the destruction oftrade, ofcredit, confidence and the happiness of the country—by Ihe uncal led for, and lawless war on the United States’ Bank? Could they justifiy such denunciation when the beauty and booty is wasted and the glory then acquired, is tarnished by the compari son? Could they, w hile they disregard the w ish es of their own constituents and obey the man dates of power, denounce those who only pur sue the public good, as pointed out by the Con stitution. I may w’ell ask after what has just been said, how is it on this floor? Are there not members who are denouncing another branch of Congress for resisting Executive encroach ments, w hile they are openly misrepresenting the recorded will of their own constituents? The evidence ofthisis on your table and is known to the world. What temptation has a member here to disregard the voice of his constituents, and to oppose any act of an administration so fortifi ed by patronage as the present? Why is it that the members of another branch of the legislature are censured for disobeying the behests of party, when in this House instan ces of disobedience to the will of the people may be found to exist? Is it right to charge those who question a doubtful policy with impro per motives, when we know that the coffers of the nation are emptied in rewarding those alone who acquiesce in the course of the Executive. What, sir, has become of the reform, the econo my and rotation in office promised to the people? They will learn by the enormous amount of their'money now annually expended, over and above what was denounced. Is not a simple reference to past promises sufficient to silence all such denunciations, the preposterous de grading topics by which they are sustained. It is not in the nature of things that all men shou d see alike: it is not the nature of man to be infaJH i ble- why then is tacit obedience to the Executive mandates claimed from the people’s represen tatives? I will not say it is from a desire to brin" the people into bondage; but they cannot remain long free when their representatives cease to be so. I should feel myself unworthy ofa seat in this House, if forgetting the functions of my station, I surrendered the dictates of my judgment and the interests of the people whom I represent to the discretion of any man or set of men. The people are the sovereigns. In days of yore this House offered noble examples of wisdom and independence. In lmg over an extensive countiy to take my seat, ed diversity of opinion among the people e ffi cient to prevent me from yielding implicit obe dience to executive will, unless when it accords with public good. And in this House suri ound ed with the emblems of our national indepen dence, devoted to the constituents whom I res pect and cheerfully obey, in legislating for them and the union, I may be permitted to repeat the language of the noble poet, and exclaim— “Who could walk where Liberty had been, nor see, The shining footprints of her diety. Nor feel, those god-like breathings in the air Which mutely told her spirit had been there?’ Sir, when I give my vote for the amendment ottered Dy tne gentleman u»hii ouum ^aiujinw, l will not ask the responsibility of Gen. Jackson; as I would not call on the glory of New Orleans to cover a rag bank system that is to be better cal culated to ruin the country than to advance the wishes of the heir in succession. DEBATE ON THE AMERICAN TREATY. Translated from a Paris newspaper.) Mr. George Lafavette j*ose to speak on a per sonal subject. (Attention.) 1 have been, said the honorable member, so clearly designated by the member who spoke last, that 1 think my self entitled to request of the Chamber a mo ment’s attention. I do not rise to defend the Commission, ot which I had the Honor to be a member, from the charge of being under any in fluence whatever, while deliberating on the im portant subject committed to it; but I wish to state a matter of fact, on which I find there is some misapprehension. My father was not a member of that Commission; I, alone, was one of the Commissioners. Surely,I did not pretend to exercise there any personal influence; but the strength of my conviction was not sufficient to induce the majority to agree in opinion with me. and I remained in the minority, though strong ly convinced that there was more due to the United States, than the majority were willing to grant. Mr. Jay, reporter of the Committee, then rose, and in support of the Bill of Appropriation, he read a letter, addressed to him by General La fayette, (detained at home by sickness) in order to prove the good fait!) of the United States. The letter is in these words: “While 1 regret that I cannot take part in the debate respecting the American Treaty, the al most unanimous report of the Committee, and the more profound knowledge acquired during this year respecting this great interest, in which justice, policy, commerce, and the freedom of the seas are involved, render it useless for me to repeat the observations which I made at the last session, but there are facts, which I might have attested as a witness, and which I now submit to tny honorable colleague, the reporter of the Committee. 1. I know that the date of the repeal of the Berlin and Milan decress, is anterior to the seizures and destructions for which an indem nity is claimed. I was myself the bearer of a message on the subject. “2. Although the United States are the only power that remained unconnected with the coa litions against France, an offer was made to them by the allies, then all powerful, to join their claims’to those which they preferred and the payment of which they obtained. That offei was worthily declined by Mr. Crawford, the American Minister at Paris. He declared that the United States, far from making common cause with the enemies of France, would wait until their accounts could be settled as between friends. 3. I saw Mr. Barlow set off for Wilna in the full conviction, from the correspondence of the ImDerial Cabinet, that the American claims should obtain a favorable decision; arid at the moment of our Revolution of July, Mr. Rives thought himself sure of terminating his negotia tion, even with the Ministry of the Restoration; which, nevertheless, felt no obligation to the United States, for having remained the friends of France, while France was in friendship with her enemies. 4. Among the classes of claims admitted in the Report, fdo not perceive the Antwerp Seiz ures, although my memory was perfectly clear on the subject, i had recourse to the recollec tions of the Duke of Bassano, whose contempo raneous authority, in his situation at that time, is superior to any distant and posthumous as sertion. I am then able to say, that no confis cation was decreed, and that the sale of the property had no other object than to prevent its deterioration; that there was a disposition to admit the justice of a claim, supported by the act of the government itself, which, in short, considered the merchandize deposited in the caisse d' amort issem cut, as American property, which makes an additional sum of more than two millions, without reckoning the Maria and her cargo, involved in the same measure. It is from these positive data, and others of the same kind, founded on the fact of monies, which, in my opinion, unjustly, but, nevertheless, have entered into the public treasury, that even after allowing'for the French claims, I had in mv conscience, as an honest arbitrator, estima ted the American claims at the sum of thirty millions, and this amount is not so unjusfiable as some have thought proper to say, while I yield all the honor due to the administration which has reduced to the treaty to narrower limits.” Extract of a letter from General Lafayette to his correspondent in Philadelphia, dated 2d April, 1834. It is with the deepest affliction and with the liveliest displeasure that I write to you, and to j you alone, on the subject of what happened yes terday the American treaty was rejected by a majority of a few voles. M. de Broglie very hoiiforablvsent in his resignation this morning; General Sebastiani, the author of the treaty, has done the same. You will be, as I have been sur prised to see that several members of the cote Gauche have sided against the treaty. I am still sick, but with a fair hope of reco very provided 1 do not commit any impru dence; that danger,however,would not have pre vented me as you may well suppose, from ap pearing in the House; but my friends used so ma ny arguments to dissuade me from going, that l, at last, was obliged to yield. It is best perhaps, that I should repress the expression ol my leel iiigs upon this subject; I shall therefore speak ol my sentiments forjmu^&c/’_ Literature Lottery of the State of Delaware, Class No. 20 for 1831, To be drawn at Wilmington, Thursday, May 15 HIGHEST PRIZE $6,000.

VIRGINIA ELECTION. We gave in yesterday’s Gazette the returns from all the counties in the State, in a statement believed to be as accurate as it is possible to make one,—by which, giving to the Adminis tration all the doubtful votes, it appears that the Whig majority in the next House of Delegates will be 24. We consider this election one of the most im portant political triumphs ever achieved in this country. It places the Old Dominion once more on the side of Republicanism and State Rights, in opposition to Power and Executive encroachment. It gives to the Whig cause all the benefits of her character and her influence, and secures her aid in the great contest for Li berty which is now waging. In addition to the complete returns which we have already given our readers, we subjoin the following statement, in reference to the election, from the Richmond Compiler: The majority will be much enlarged from two sources— lirst from the disaffection of members of the minority of the last Legislature, many of whom, re-elected some on party grounds and some without opposition, will quit the ranks of the Prerogative party before the next winter; and secondly, from the changes in the senti ments of new members who though willing to uphold the President in his attack upon the Bank will hardly support him in his warfare against the Constitution and his outrageous usur pations of power. Unless some measure of ve ry speedy relief be passed through Congress, we much doubt if the Jackson party will form a fourth of the next Legislature. The elections have resulted in thirty-two chan ges in the politics of the lower House, the great majority of which have been favorable to the Whiffs: twentv being in our favor, and twelve against us, as will be seen by the following state ment: Whig Gain. Accomack 2, Bedford 1, Brunswick 1, Ca bell 1, Caroline 1, Essex 1, Fayette and Nicho las 1, Jefferson 1, Kanhawha i, Lancaster and Richmond 1, Lewis 1, Logan 1, Monongalia 1, Patrick 1, Pittsylvania 1, Pocahontas 1. Scott 1, Tyler 1, Westmoreland 1. Total 20. Loss. Albemarle 2, Buckingham 2, Franklin 1, Ha lifax 2, Mecklenburg 1, Prince William 1, Rock ingham 1, Stafford 1, Sussex 1. Total 12. In reference to these losses, it is believed that had the elections taken place eight weeks later, Prince William, Rockingham and Sussex are the only counties in which it would have been possible for the Jackson party to have succeed ed; and even in these the contest would have been extremely doubtful. In Albemarle, Gilmer and Southall would be elected over Rives and Randolph this day—the majority over the latter gentleman was less than fifty, and subsequent changes have been constant and rapid. This is a matter of cer tainty. In Buckingham. Patleson and Bondurant, were left out and Booker and Yancey elected by a majority of less than thirty. That these latter gentlemen would go by the board were the election to take place now, we have not the least doubt. The protest and renomination message would have changed more than fifty votes. Wc have heard areport that one orboth of these gentlemen have themselves given some evidences of strong dissent from the course of the Government. In Franklin, we should have elected two Whigs but that there were five candidates on our side and but one on the Jackson; and in spite of this the Jackson member (Holland) was chosen by but twelve majority. In Mecklenburg, Garland (Jackson) was elect ed over Kennon (Whig) by only fourteen votes, according to the last account we have seen.— There would be now no chance for him. In Stafford, Moncure (Jackson) was elected by 21 votes. The great changes that have been going on since leave scarcely any Moubtas to the result of the election in this county, were it to be tried over again. Such are the circumstances under which a few members of the last House were ousted. The occurrence of the elections so immediately after the adjournment of the Legislature, ena bled the Jackson party to save a few counties, which are by this time against them. The Compiler is, doubtless, well informed, and its statement may be well taken into consi deration when estimating the political complex imi nf fho novt T.PfriclfltlirP The ascertained majority, however, is cer tain, and with that we are well content. And let it be recollected, too, that that majority is firm and decided. The election has been con tested in every county. The issue was fairly put, and fairly tried. Fathers voters against sons; brothers against brothers; friends against friends. There was no child’s play. In all its measures, therefore, the next Legislature may be expected to support and sustain Whig prin ciples, and to act in defence of the Whig cause. Bishop Meade’s Family Prayers.—Whatever comes from under the hands of so excellent a man and pure a Christian as Bishop Meade, will always recommend itself to the favor and attention of the public, and especially to those attached to the Church of which Bishop Meade is so bright an ornament. In the progress of his labors of duty and inclination, Bishop Meade has compiled a small volume of Family Pray ers, chiefly collected from the Scriptures, the Book of Common Prayer, and the works of Bishop Wilson. They are suited to Christians of all denominations, and are in themselves ap propriate and devout. To every family they would prove profitable for devotional exercises anti for religious instruction. The volume has been published, and is for sale by Mr. W. M. Morrison, Bookseller, of this place. The spirited remarks of Mr. Ewing, of Ind., in reply to Mr. Bynum, of N. C.,—a notice of whose speech was made in the Gazette of last Tuesday,—will be generally approved of for their independence and correctness. We refer our readers to another column for Mr. Ewing’s speech. The merchants, now, tor the first time tor ;i I number of years, taking an active part, as a bo dy, in the political affairs oi the country, re ceive the especial abuse of the Allied presses at tached to the cause of Powfr. They are de nounced in the Globe, Albany Argus, &c. &e and a correspondent of the Richmond En quirer, taking the cue, launches out in the same strain. This is all to no purpose. The political regeneration of this country will be effected, in part, by the merchants. They know their rights and, knowing, dare maintain them. The coarseness, vulgarity, and disregard to truth and fairness, manifested by the Globe newspaper, is highly discreditable to the Go vernment Officers at Washington who hu\r that journal under their control and direction Let it always be understood, that many gentle men attached to the Jackson party reprobate the course of the Globe. The Richmond Enquirer cries out peccari: for Mr. Speaker Stevenson! Very well. Let Mr. Speaker do right, and then—let him go ahead—to England or Africa, for all that care. Gen. La Fayette’s influence and exertion have been strongly put forth in behalf ot tiH. just claims of our citizens upon the French vernment; He deserves the thanks of the poo pie of this country for his steady support their rights and interests. The Washington Correspondent of the pCnn sylvanian speaks of the profound good sen-, and irresistible argument, skill and power, o* Wright; the eloquence and argument, the point and pungency, the grace and elegance of For syth; the close reasoning, the felicitous humor, and the good natured irony of Grundy; the overwhelming argumentation of Benton; an.! uie generous me aim spiruoi mown. Ari' immediately afterwards, talks of the studied acting and political bragging of Clay; the cold, stately and inapt abstractions of Webster; the fanciful erudition and elaborate sophistry of Leigh; the artificial reasoning and moon-shir subtleties of Calhoun; the frothy, but empty. clamation of Preston; the spit lire and petti fogging impertinence of Chambers; the dr. log-splitting of Ewing; and the political, liter a ry and rhetorical blunders of them all—particu larly those of Clay and Webster.”!!! If this is not going the whole figure, we don't know what is. The Bath (Maine) Inquirer, which has been a strenuous advocate of all the measures ofthe pre sent Administration till within a few weeks, dur ing which time it has been neutral under the su perintendence of a new proprietor, has now conic out and taken an independent stand on tin* side of the People, and in support of the Whig principles. The Whigs of Pittsburg,.Pa. had a great fe> tival on the 6th inst. in honor of the late vie tory over the “spoil” party in New York. It estimated that upwards of 5000 persons assen bled on the occasion. The place of meeting was in the spacious enclosure fronting the Cot ton Factory of Blackstock, Bell Co. in Alle gany borough. William Marks, late a I'nito S. Senator, took the chair as President ofthe day. Several eloquent addresses were delivei ed; and among others the lion. H. M.

The Bank professes to be perfectly willing to five ample space and verge enough" for all inquiry as to its business and transactions, so as to show to the nation its true state and condi tion; but it also professes to resist all illegal de mands and unlawful encroachments upon its chartered rights. We shall see the true state ofthe case, when the Committee make their re port. and the Bank makes its defence. Great Dividend.—The American Insurance Company have declared a dividend of ttcelre percent, out of the profits of the last six months payable on the 1st June. Rhode Island— The Senate of this State, hav ing non-concurred with the House of Kepi esen tatives as to the first two resolutions adopted by that body, censuring the removal of the depo 1 sites, and recommending their restoration and poncurred in the other resolutions, respecting the expediency and necessity of a National Bank—a conference was held, which resulted in each House adhering to its opinions. The House, in consequence, voted that the re solutions passed by the House, be signed by the Speaker, and forwarded to the Representatives ofthe State in Congress. The General Assembly then adjourned. The Providence Journal, referring to this mat ter, and to the course pursued by Governor Fran cis,says— “It is due to him to say, that he used all his ex ertions and influence to procure the passage of those resolutions in the Senate, and that if the state of the vote had thrown the responsibility of deciding the question upon him, he would have decided in favor of their passage. In the Senate also, were two honorable exceptions; two individuals who, true to their oath ot ot fice and their important trusts, were not willing to prostrate all the wealth and industry of Rnode Island for the glory of Andrew Jackson.” CrrintUncr (w/nm —A workman out of work in .c* -J Philadelphia, writes to a manufacturer in the country, u Dear Sir—I am at present out oi work, and can find little to do—you know my capacity and fitness.

To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette: Mr. Benton, in a speech the other day, made the following remarks: v Till the formation of the Federal Government, tbis country had a gold and silver currency. The monarchsof Europe gave their people a gold •md silver currency; even the free black of St. Domingo bad a gold and silver currency; and should it be said that this country could not pos wssone? If it depended on the votes of gentle men who said we could not have a metallic cur rency, we should not have one;but if the people said there should be a specie currency, he saw no reason why this country* should not possess it well as other countries.’ Whether the condition of this country has been better or worse since the formation of the federal Government, I will at present leave for the honorable gentleman and his friends to de cide. The monarchs of Europe, it seems, have given their people a gold and silver currency: are, therefore, in duty bound to give thanks to our monarch for having given us and “the Hackmen” a gold and silver currency, although *t has been'at the expense (to the utter ruin, in 'act,) of widows and orphans interested in the Bank of this District, the government and well being of which ought to be the peculiar care of the President. My object, however, in this communication, is to expose the ignorance of the Hon. Senator Benton, in asserting that the Free Blacks of St. Domingo” have a gold and silver curren cy.” I will not aver that they have not a metal lic currency,—but this I know, and every per son conversant with the trade to St. Domingo knows, that a Spanish doubloon, worth in the United States about $16, is worth in the cur rency of St. Domingo $22 a $24; or, in other words, the difference between the currency of the United States and the currency of St. Do mingo is 50 a 60 per cent, in favor of the for mer. That is 4> say, a five dollar note of the Bank of the United States is equal in value to seven dollars and a half metallic currency of the Free Blacks of St. Domingo.” If the honorable Senator is thus ignorant of the currency of our nearest neighbors, I would ask, is he a fit person to tamper with the cur rency of this great Republic? How long are the People of the United States to be deluded and betrayed by such pretenders to financial skill and knowledge? It is for them to answer. CRISTOPHE. Alexandria■, May 15, 1834. Yesterday, a crop of 11 hhds. of really fine, rich, dry Tobacco', sold at Shockoe Warehouse, for an average of $8 95.—Rick, Whig. Crockett.—This distinguished western repre sentative met with a flattering reception “down east,” where he has been spending a few days. On visiting the Navy Yard, Boston, to look at the ship Constitution, a young Whig, who ac companied him, asked him if he could not grin off the figure head. Send the frigate to Old Kentuck,” said the Colonel, “there i am up to a thing or two.” At Lowell, he was placed in a hollow square of three thousand gals, where he made a speed) in favor of the American System, which he concluded by a neat, compli ment to them. Ladies,” said he, I was ne ver so fairly surrounded in my life.” While at Lowell, Crockett inquired for the girl who kissed the President; but our friend Locke, of the Lowell Journal, informed him that she was one of the leaders of the late riot, and had gone to her father’s in New Hamp shire. The Colonel was much disappointed; for,” said he, I'd like to see that gal. Kiss the President, did she? Why, I’d sooner kiss a side of dried sole leather myself, any day.” The Colonel is very chaste. Col. Crockett, in conversing with a friend, said he’d rather be the slave of a nigger, and live upon rackoon soup, than wear the collar of the Kitchen cabinet. Oh, it does me good, (he continued) to see the fellers throw their collars off, now and then—they appear to feci so well arter it, to raise their heads so high and look so nice about the neck and cheek bones. We regret to learn that Col. Crockett, while on a visit to Camden yesterday, lost his pocket book containing about $150. As one note was on the Farmers and Mechanics’ Bank of George town for $100, a broken bank, it can be of little use to the finder, who is invited by an advertise ment to send it on to the Colonel at Washington, and keep the current money for his trouble. U. S. Gar. From Greenock.—By the Roger Stewart, the Editors of the Gazette have received the Green ock Intelligencer of Saturday, April 5—In this paper we find that nearly 1000 emigrants for the United States and Canada had assembled, and were on the eve of embarking.—Many of them were already on board, wind bound. The names of the vessels, and the numbers on board of each are enumerated- some of them have arrived, and others on their passage. Many of the emigrants are from the Highland Glens, and others from manufacturing districts—all panting lor the society and scenes of our west ern world.—iV. V. Gaz. .4 Sham.—Our news collector tells us, that about 12 o'clock to-day, a young and well dres sed man on the Battery, was seen to apply a pis tol to his side, fire it, and fall. Persons ran to his assistance—he was apparently dead, but on examination it was found that no ball hadpene the ship. which was onlv scorched togeth er with the vest and shirt, by the powder. There was no ball probably in the pistol. The party was removed quite sensible, conscious and un scathed, though not unscared, to a carriage, and so the matter ended.—X. Amer. Obstinacy.—A man named Wheeler was cross ing the river from the foot of Brooklyn Heights to the Battery, his boat upset, and he was nigh drowning, when another man put oft to his as sistance;”but Wheeler recognizing in this man an individual by whom he had once been injHi ed, warned him. at the peril of his life, to keep away, or he would stab him in the water. Two boys, in another boat, picked WTheeler up twen ty minutes afterwards, more dead than alive: and had he remained in the water five minutes longer, he must inevitably have perished through his own obstinacy.—.V. Y. Transcript. Attempt to Rob the Dedham Bank.—We learn by a gentleman from Dedham, that an attempt was made last night to break into the Bank in that town. The rogues were probably alarmed before they could effect their object, and fled, as their tools were found on the spot. They endea vored to enter by boring holes in the floor, and trying to Dry off the lower part of it. An attempt was made also to rob Trescott and Boyden’s store, in Factory Village. Boston Trans.

We then doubted the truth of this matter, and still doubt the amount of the alleged loss; but an adventure recently occur red, which tends to confirm the belief that the fair sex do occasionally, and on the sly, indulge in the baneful passion of gambling. For some time past, a man of youthful ap pearance, wearing mustachios, was observed to be an occasional visiter to a well known house, we have heard, 13 Park place, St. James’, where he played with various success, but for mode rate stakes. At length, on a night last week, he tendered a check for fifty pounds to the banker, and, in an under tone, requested coun ters. It had been remarked that he scarcely ever spoke but in a similar subdued manner. As he was recognised and believed to be re spectable, his request was at once complied with, aud for a time fortune seemed to crown his speculations. At last, however, luck turn ed, and he lost all! His agitation had been gra dually increasing, and, on loosing his last coun ter, he dropped on the floor. He was immediately carried into a private apartment where every humane attention was paid to him, and proper restoratives applied, but he relapsed from one fit to another, and at last on unbuttoning his collar and throwing open his vest, the man proved to be a woman! A medi cal gentleman was sent for, and at last compa rative self-possession was gained. Consciousness, however, only increased the agitation of the patient, who recognized in the medical attendant a friend of both her own and her husband—for she was a married woman. An eclairoissement took place, and it is due to state that the owner of the establishment at lit ___ f .1 once coinmissci uieu uie Miuauuu wi me ummp py woman, and, without a moment’s hesitation, returned the check, which, it is painful to add, was subsequently admitted to be signed with the name of her husband. The lesson was a severe one, and it is hoped will have its proper effect. fjovdnv paper. SHIP NEWS.ffi PORT OF ALEXANDRIA, D. C. Sailed, May 15, Schr. Orion, Stetson, New York. ^MEMORANDA.

Office of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Co. f Philadelphia, January 15, 1834. 1AM directed by the Managers of this Com pany to communicate to their friends and customers abroad, the terms and conditions up on which they propose, during the shipping sea son of the present year, to deliver their Coal by the cargo, on board of vessels, at the Compa ny’s wharves on the Delaware, either in Phila delphia, or at Bristol above the city, as may be most convenient to tne company wnen vessels shall apply for loading. Price for any quantity not less than 50 tons and under 1,000 tons. $5.00 for Hard Coal, and $4.50 for Soft Coal—per ton of2,240 lbs. Price for 1,000 tons and upwards, $4.75 for Hard Coal, and $4.25 for Soft Coal—per ton of 2,240 lbs. At the above named prices, the Coal will be carefully raked before shipment, but, if taken unraked from the boats, as it comes from tiie mines, the prices will be twenty-five cents per ton less. For any quantity not exceeding 100 tons, pay ment to be made on the first of November, 1834; above that quantity, one-half on the first of No vember, 1834; the other half on the first of Ja nuary, 1835. The character o( the Lehigh Hard Coal is so well known, that it is not deemed necessary to subjoin any recommendation of its quality. It is sufficient to state, that for parlour grates, stoves, and culinary uses, no coal is more ge nerally approved in this place; while, as fuel for steam engines, for malting, heating brewers’ and dyers’ coppers, nail-works, foundries, and rolling and slitting mills, it has decidedly the preference, on account of its greater durability and cleanliness, to the extent of more than two thirds of the aggregate consumption of anthra cite coal for those purposes in Philadelphia and its vicinity. The Lehigh Soft Coal ignites more easily, and burns more freely than the Hard, and on that account is preferred by many consumers. In case vessels are to take in at Bristol, they will be towed up there, in from two to three hours, by the Company's steamboats, without expense to the captains or owners, and when loaded will be towed down in the same \Vay, also free of charge. Every exertion will be made to give vessels the utmost possible despatch. It is to be under stood that they must take their regular turn to load; and no claim for demurrage, should they wait for their turn, or claim for any other cause heyond the Company’s control, can he allowed.! The Managers, however, believe that the faci lities possessed by the Company this year, will enable them to conduct their business w ith in creased regularity and despatch. No advantage of credit being gained by de lay, it is respectfully suggested that orders should be sent early in the season, when freights and insurance are generally obtained on the best terms. With every disposition to accom modate their correspondents, the Managers will use their best endeavors, as heretofore, to pro cure vessels, when so requested, on the lowest terms, but they w’ould recommend that their customers should engage vessels for themselves whenever practicable. The Managers have further directed me to say, that, should they make any reduction this vear from the nrices for the exnort trade, nam-1 ed in this circular, bersons giving previous or- J ders shall receive the benefit of such reduction; at the same time, the Managers do not preclude themselves from advancing the price with the advance of the season, should they deem it ex pedient; but orders accepted will not be subject to any advance.
