The following letter from the Secretary of tleneral Hover, President of Hayti. to his friend in this city, will, 1-e prerattue, be read with pleasure by those who feel interested in the subject to which it relates. . _ The idea of finding an asylum for the free people of colour of the United States. who may be deiirons of : resorting to a community where they will find protec tion, and employment, the means uf acquiring pro perty, and the enjoyment of social privileges upon an equal footing with those by whom they are surrounded is one of peculiar interest, not only to themselves, but to all good men who lament their depression in this country, and world gladly, if in their power, relieve i thcin front the misfortunes under which they labour. There is ozlegrer of kindness and generosity in the propositions of lloyer, which entitle him to notch re- 'pert. With great liberality, he offers to •receive his! brethren from the United Ntates on terms highly sill vantageous to them: while, at the sante time, he only requires a certificate of character, before he hestows the privilegewishing on his part fur useful inhabitants, not those who, being idle and vicious. may Itecome burtlaens instead of bentlits, and, in the ritti, may turn out to be vagabonds. We propose to give a translation of the plan of the' . society alluded to in this letter. And we t•aynot but hope, that the advantages which this island kids out may be seized, and that many of the description of pe pions under consiole: alio a way ay.Cll tit i,i elves of them, and be ettab:astl to realize the I.enclits that ar,c tarred to their acceptance.

The Select Committee appointed to inquire into the present state of Loudon-bridge, and to consider if any, and what alterations or improvements are necessary or proper to be made therein, under existing circum stances, and to report their observations thereupon ; and to whom the several petitions, which were pre sented to the House upon the Ist and 4th days of May last, relating to London bridge; and the eeveral Reports made from the Select Committees, in the years 1799, and WO, and I tdol, on that subject, were re ferred ; have inquired accordingly, and have agreed upon the following Report:-- Your Committee have proceeded in the examination of evidence in support of the petitions referred to them : from which it appears, that much inconvenience and damage are occasioned to the craft navigating the River, from the construction of London-bridge; but they have not had time to complete their inquivy t and to report whether any or what remedy it may be pro per to recommend. Your Committee therefore trust, that the House will re-appoint them early in the next Session; when they will be able to give the subject that fall consideration which its importance de mands. • A Medical Reader has drawn our attention to a whimsical blunder copied from the ifoadtenr, the leading journal of Paris, into the second column of the third page of the Mirror of Monday. It is there stated that a Parisian herbalist was fined for selling " Saint R,asnaniens Datetra" instead of an emollient herb, and that the article sold caused somnambulism. Our friend tells us that the herb which produced this effect, was Stre,Nonians Datnra. The original printer probably mistook the two first letters of Stromerno for an abbreviation of the word Saint. and by this misconception enriched Botany Bay .with a new Oast, and Heaven with a new Saint.—(rateciorglifimr.) • THE sl A'TiESUAN.

They had made ain at unwarrantable attack on his client's dwelling-house and offices, and not only destroyed the roof and injured hl goods and furni ture, but left his wife and nine helpless children, ex posed for four %%volts to the inclemency of a winter season, and bad unlawfully imprisoned himself for several hours. The prLcipal defendant was Lord ' Clermont; the slit:ordinate ones were his Lordship's creatures, his steward, his constable, and his la• I Plaiiitid; Preelturn, was, he said, a respect able man, whose family hail leen tenants in 3lulliards, on the Fortesene e-:ate, for the greater part of a cen tury. His lease hail expired; but in March I tSI6, he had commenced a 1111 V take tinder his Lordship, at `24is. per acre, t h e 101 l value of the land, and had paid his rent regularly. lie had, however, received a notice from Lord C. on the 2341 of July, 1819, to surrender on the Ist of September then next, that., is„in six tree ha. This tooice he very properly deem ed insufficient, and resoised lo keep possession of his lands, hi which he•had then a vs:iii:s'u!e cargo. On the 2tith of October, defendanta, Elli.ot, M‘Kinlev, and the Trainers, cause to the p .emises and stripped 34 feet of the backside of the roof of his house, anti on bring iineati met! why they did so, produced &is Lordship's writ!en order, us their antlawity.

Es-en in the defence of the present suit, his . Lordship, h: sai I, had sought to crush his client, by ;he inn:auction of seven pleas, in hopes of rendering the expense which must necessarily be incurred in re. plying to gush voluminous matter too heavy for the I tinanees of so poor and so oppressed a man. Evidence was produced to corroborate this state- 1 meat. Nu witnesses were examined on the part of the j ileOndants ; their Counsel stating, that the I.laintitf, 1 by involving all the - parties who Lad witnessed the unroofing of the premises in the suit as partiripes! erimines, thereby deprived him of the benefit of their I testimony. 1 He admitted that his Lordship's conduct bad been • hasty and inconsiderate, but he said it was the duty I of the Gentleinan of the Jury to divest their winds of all feeling as to the situation of the rarties, and to 1 award such damages to the, plaintiff, as, under all the circumstances of the case, he was entitled to receive as a compensation bar the injury lie has sustained. 1 he Jury retired about half au hour, and brought in a verdict fur the plaintiff of 3401. damages, and lid. costs. . . The verdict was received with great joy and accla mation by a crowded Court. ATTEMPT TO Possim—We alluded, shortly, yes- I terday, to t a nearly fatal ease of poisoning, by corro sive sublinuttr, which took place on Monday morn ing in Naught it staect, of which the following arc the particulars industrious man of the name of Byrne, proprietor of the Soda Water Manufactory in that street, was under the care of a medical person, for an affection of his eyes, fur the cure of which lie was taking a bottle of stomach bitters. His wife, who is only about two months married to biro, has lived on very bad terms with hiui ever since her mar riage, scarcely a Jay passing that differences and dis putes have not occurred between theni, so as to render the unfortunate man's life miserable. On Sunday evening, Con. Molloy, the son of this woman by a former marriage, obtained, under some pretext, a quantity of corrosive suklimste, at a shop where he was well kupwn, took it home, and it appears in evi dence, that on that evening. corrosive sublimate was mixed with the medicine Byrne had been in the habit of taking. Sin the following morning, Byrne took a dose of his medicine, as usual, on swallowing which, he instantly exclaimed he bad taken poison, and went to get possession of the remainder. of the medicine left in the bottle. Attempts were made to prevent his get ting possession of the bottle, and when that was leaf fectual, to break the bottle in his pocket. He, bow ever, made off with the bottle to a neighbonring'Sur geon, who, on examining the bottle, withont.hesiti-' tion pronounced that corrosive sublimate had her mixed in a very large quantity, with the mediefisie— We are happy to state that the man is not dead, bet lies in a very weak state at the moment of writing this.
