To the Editors of the National Intelligencer. Tub Aor. or Humbpg—The foUowinK extract of a letter from Washington to the Editor of the New York Daily Advertiser, this moment met my eye, and will serve, among other evi dences submitted to the public lately, of the cor rectness with which these letter writers from Washington detail news, to please and gratify the wonder-seeking public. The extract is as follows: Extract of a letter dated Washington Citv,Sun daxj evening. The city of Georgetown has been thrown in to a state of high excitement this day, by the sudden disappearance and suspected murder of a respectable female residing there. A part of her clothes have been found, in a shattered condition, on ttie bank of a large lime-kiln, lo cated on the borders of the city. Attempts have been making all day to recover the body from the supposed place of its entombment, but up to this hour without success.” Now, the truth of the matter is, that no res pectable female” of Georgetown or the City, or any other female, respectable or otherwise, has been missing. The whole tale is a humbug, and grew out of the death of a stolen Hog\ and nothing more. It is true, that the wise specula tions of some of the knowing-ones of George town and the City contributed much to the amusement of the bystanders. One of the grave officers of the former place, insisted that the bo dy of the supposed female had been thrown in to the liAe-kiln and burnt up. This opinion re ceived so much credence from a few of his hear ers, that one of them, in his folly, made a bet of fifty dpllurs that the bones would be reduced to ashes before they were drawn from the kiln.— How this betas to be decided, is for these know ing-ones to determine for themselves. One of my neighbors, Jhowever, had the misfortune to have a lino^io^Stolen, on the night of the suppo sed murder of thSt.1,1’ respectable female” referred to in the above extract. Whether the hog was of the true faith and permitted himself to be collared, without even giving one squeal to noti fy his master that he had got into bad hands, I am unable to say; but this I can aver, that there was a petticoat in the case, which lor the last few years lias been such a common place matter, that it was looked on as a thing of course. If the correspondent of the Daily Advertiser is herea’frer hard pushed for a hog. pig, or a'pet ticoat story, if he will call on me 1 will furnish him so good a supply, as to enable him during the session of Congress to amuse the Editor an^ hft many readers to their heart’s content. Tarcacun. Dm^DfUL Catas-MWimie at Livehpoqu—On Monday afternoon, Nov. 17th, abod5t30fl(tepple ^assembled on the Cheshire side of the rivnper sey^near Bromborough Pool, LiverpoWT to witness a pugilistic exhibition between two men, named Fee and ltobinson.for two guineas aside. The fight began a little after twelve o’clock, and lasted upwards of three quarters of an hour.When fioi'hedjj*i number of persons embarked in boats .•hour two o’clock, to return to Liverpool. At »tills hour there was a rem n kably strong ebb-tide, tin? cau rent of the river in the situation des cribeif being very powerful. The distance be twof#hhe opposite shores at this^oiut may be estimated at two miles. The boats were heavi |#l,ulen, containing, V ssaid, about thirty per sons each—a dangerous number to be carried wyith safety in the description of ferry boats Effght fouroared gigs^B*)Ut twelve feet long, and very cranky, most in uye on the Mersey.

Singolau Thial.—The present term of Mid dlesex Oyer and Terminer and general Quar ter Sessions has been one of extraordinary inter est On the 20th instaut the trial ol Catharine Dingwall came before the Quarter Sessions, on a charge of Horse Stealing. The Court House was filled with anxious spec tators. Joseph Warren Scott, Esq. witn ms usual philanthropy, volunteered his services in i behalf of the unfortunate stranger, and distin-; guished himself with extraordinary ability, and with such effect as to draw tears from theaudi- j ence. The story of this poor girl is pathetic a_nd singularly romantic. Having formed an attach ment lor a young man in the service of her fa ther, named Charles Stewart, he was banished from the house of his employer, and it is suppos ed sailed for America. It appears that she be came so ardently attached to him, that she as sumed man’s apparel—travelled from \oik shire to Liverpool, where she engaged as a com mon sailor, and sailed in search of her lover. She air ved safely atNew York,and after wan dering for some time through the streets of that city.shetiavclled to Boston,from thence to Phila delphia,and even to New Orleans. After a fruit less search there she returned again to New York, and still meeting with disappointment, she came over into New’ Jersey on her way to Philadel phia, and havingsiopt for the night at a barn near Kingston, wearied, broken-hearted, de jected and in a foreign land, the horrible idea of suicide presented itself as the only end of her sufferings. But from this dreadful and melan choly alternative, she was diverted by circum stances altogether providential. Instead, therefore, of pursuing her original intention, she caught one ol the horses in the field in which the barn was situated, and rode off tow ards New Brunswick: the other horse fol lowed. Circumstances (and her own confes sion) all go to prove that she meant to make herself amenable to the laws—and horse-steal ing being in her own country punishable by death, she sought it as an end to her sufferings and sorrows. These were the impressions (as far as public opinion Was expressed) concerning this poor unfortunate stranger, whose generous love and enduring attachment (to use the language of another) “seems more like the tales of ro mance than the truth of narrative.” The story proves that she is a noble and warm hearted girl, and that 6he deserves the further protection of our citizens. In the restoration of this forlorn and hapless stranger to her parental fire-side, the honest and the chivalrous citizen will readily co-operate, n?t only in good wishes, but in good and generous deeds. And since unhappy fortune has deprived her of her lover, mayflfcfcspend her future days in quiet with her familfSmd friends! The accused, when put upon her trial, plead ed guilty* and refused torstract it; but her coun sel \rns permitted by the Court to enter a plea of not gtally. No one appeared against her. such >v«jS the sympathy excited in her case, and so strong w as the belief that the act she com mitted was one of phrenzy, and not of delibe rate Intention. The last London papers contain the following anecdote of the Duke of Wellington and the banker Rothschild: A report is ciritept in the moneyed circles to the following effect—that the Duke of Welling ton hadtecarcely received hi* new appointment frourhis royal n draw any such inference from the an swer which he had given; that in fact, till ti e cabinet w as formed, no notice of its general po licy should be known or ascertained; but that, as far as lie could at present perceive, no mate i rial change in the present foreign policy was likely to take place.

La-; dies will be admitted to the privileged seats on I the floor._ We do not understand the National Gazette 1 as advising or recommending immediate harsh or warlike measures against France, in conse quence of the delay that lias occurred in fulfill ing the terms of the late Treaty with that king dom. We rather consider-lhat journal as striv ing to unite public ^ntiment as to the entire justness of the Amerrean cause, when the time for action, on our part, shall arrive; and as maintaining now, that onr opponent in the con troversy is continually departing from that line I of conduct which should excite pacific senti ments on the part of the people of this country. Perhaps ‘he National Gazette is not charitable enough in its estimate of the views and feelings ofthe French nation; but that is a mere matter of opinion._ Under the head of “Republican Celebration of the Extinguishment of the National Debt,” in this day’s Gazette, will be found one of the purest specimens of humbug, that the people of this country were ever called to look on.

In looking over your balance sheet! at the end of the year, to see how your affairs look, never forget that large deductions are to j be made from one side of the account for bad and doubtful debts, and for possible losses from other causes. The amounts you appear to owe are as certain and fixed as fate, whilst the amounts that are due to you may one fourth be lost. Keep this in mind in regnlntingyour expen ditures, and do not flatter yourselves into the be lief that as great deductions may be made on one side as the other.— Phil. Gat.

In the course of the afternoon, a serious accident occurred—Dr .Thatcher, on old gentleman aged 82, author of the Revolutionary Journal, was thrown down and run over by a vehicle, which considerable injured him.

Core ron a onrrcT in the Palate.—Most of onr readers have undoubtedly met with cawsof defective palates, where the voice is unpleasant. Iv a fleeted—and have sympathised with the un fortunate individuals, who have been thus ■fleet ed. A*very bad case of this kind occurred in the person of Mr. Harhach, a young gentleman of Worcester, who has recently applied toma ny medical mentor relief. His case, however, was particularly dniortiinate, there being a divi'. sion of the uvula, and also of the roof of the .mouth—inasmuch that it w as with difficulty he ‘could make himself understood. He was final ly advised to apply to George H. Gay, Surgeoi Dentist of ibis city, with assurance that if skill and ingenuity could relieve him, Mr. Gay could do it. This gentleman undertook the case, and has succeeded in finishing a roof and palate of beaten gold which of course, covers the chasm, and is fastened to the upper teeth in such a man ner that it can he removed at pleasure. It was attached to the month on Saturday, and Mr. Harhach already experiences its great utility— a ml there is little doubt that in the course of a few weeks his voice w ill be entirely restored.

This is a touch of the clique who belong to the exclusive class of fashionables, which will doubtless be forthwith introduced into AImacks and the Tuiileries, as soon as the next packet shall convey to Europe the glad tidings of this bold innovation.—A. Slur. The environs of Paris have lately been the theatre of a singular assassination, of which the following are some of the paiticulars: Mr. De Ponlalba's father, formerly of this ci ty, aged 84 years, lei-iding at Mont 1/Kvrque, feeling unwell, called his son, and telling him I that lie had but a few days to live, he was desi ions, be foie dying, of being reconciled to his daughter-in-law.

Mr. Pontalba the son.ac cording tot lie wishes of his lather, inf inu-dni* 1 w ile of the good intentions of tin* old geutc j man. and requested her to visit him. ’a rr‘ ceipt of this good news, the unfortunate woman immediately left Paris, and hastened to Mont L’Eveque. I With the view of gi\ ing ereatpr si lpnim y the reconciliation, Mr. De Pontalba tfq«wf his son to brmg a priest, which he did; a' f iew minutes Mr. De Pontalba sent f|,r D*1 d,1L i ter-in-luw to come into his chamber.

CONGRESS. IN SENATE—Decbjibsb 29. The Senate wa3 in session but a lew minutes, ,nd after sorne Private business, adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Sundry unimportant resolutions were offered, memorials presented, &c.; after which, the bill plating the pay of the officers of the Navy of the United States was taken up. Nearly all the amendments of the Committee of the Whole House were concurred in; among the few rejected was the section relative to Pciwess. The subject of the pay and perqui to this class of officers gave rise to an ani goted debate, in which Mr. YVatmough of Pa., yr Wise of Va., and others participated. In course of the remarks made by Mr. Wise, lie stated the almost incredible fact, that the pursers in our Navy were better paid than al most any officer of the Government, civil or military; that a Purser of a line of battle ship in y arMl perquisites, received the enormous sum of $1 t.UOO per annum, and in a cruize of three years made a clear profit of from 30 to 840.000. Without netting through with the details of bill, the Mouse adjourned._ VIRGINIA DELINQUENT LAND LAW. TO THE EDITOR OF THE ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE. The Delinquent Land Law of Virginia, pass ed the 10th March 1S32, is as gross a violation 0f the Right of Property in a citizen as ever coaid have been conceived by the most despotic tvrant. Bv this law, the Sheriff is empowered ^11 a man’s land without even knowing there it K and w hen at the very time it is te nanted with one hundred times more property on it than would pay the taxes.—(See brick j^use and lot sold for 67 cents, occupied by a j^rge family always willing fo pay the taxes.)— Others could be mentioned. He makes no ad vertisement in the papers which circulate in the vicinity, so that non-residents might see to their property. He goes on to sell, for the taXCs aionej viz any person who will pay the tax, perhaps on ly 50 cents, may have A. B.’s tract of land, con taining 100 acres: A. B., perhaps, is in the Ar mv or Navy—has not been at home for many ytars; when he comes, he finds his only hope ■oie for a song:—he has lost his property, trough the injustice of the State, by reason cf the time he was absent in its defence. The operation of this law will cause endless litigation, and, in many instances, t»lood>hed and strife: for, what individual could restrain himself under such a wrong? To see his pro perty, by the rapacity of his government, and ignorance and neglect of its agents taken from him on false pretences! I for one, sir, w ould nullify such a law as unjust, oppressive, despot ic, and unconstitutional, at all risks. The 5th j art^Amendments Constitution U. States; gua- ranters the right of property, thus: Private property shall not be taken for public use with- out just compensation.” Here is a plain, direct, and positive prohibition by the Constitution, anti yet it is violated w ith impunity. Put what con duction on it you will, the law is unjust. Why i not suffer the taxes to go on—and if no ow ner comes for the land in twenty years, let if be cs tktaltd and sold. Besides, no real benefit re sults to the State of Virginia from the operation of this law; the expense of an office, with a sufficiency of clerks at high salaries, in Rich mond, with stationary and other incidental ex penses. will take every dollar of this ill-gotten revenue 1 will close this communication by declaring my serious conviction, that no go vernment ever devised a more complete system of unjust taxation, or, rather, of legal robbery.

THE Howard Dramatic Society beg leave respectfully to inform the public, thut, in consequence of the severity of the present sea son, they are induced to step forward again in the cause of Charity; and it is hoped that no farther incitement is needed than one moment’s reflection. While the less needy are comforta bly seated at their own firesides, the generous heart must sicken at thought of how many un fortunates must be in want of even a few sticks of wood to keep, perhaps, the child of its pa rent’s bosom from absolute freezing. It is not the intention of these remarks, to assail the cha rity of the citizens. There is, perhaps, as much of it practised within this corporation as any other of the size. But. every cord of wood is now, especially, valuable; and it is hoped that the charity of the motive will be received to sup ply the deficiency of talent. The money thus raised will be deposited in the hands of the Mayor for distribution: and, as the expenses are i considerable, it is hoped that humanity will not, on the present occasion, suffer the Society again to become losers. i OIV THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 1, 1 Will be presented J.
