Many of the Whigs, among them Messrs. Evans, Saltonstall, Graves, Calhoun, Morgan, and Profit, spoke earnestly against it, as a proposition placing too much in the power of the President, and sacrificing the interests of the country unnecessarily. They would prefer, they said, to authorise another issue of Treasury Notes, or a loan, to the abandonment of these important objects— objects that had been approved by the deli berate judgment of this House and of the public de partments. The country, however depressed, was not yet reduced to such a necessity as this. Mr. Everett said, here we saw the consummation of the policy of the Government. They had, by their measures dried up the sources of revenue, and brought ruin on individuals and embarrassment upon the coun try. Why did not the Government bear and request the means necessary to carry on the Government ? It was because the Presidential election was at hand, and they alone take the responsibility of asking for money. He would vote for a loan, but not for another issue of Treasury Notes.

WILKINSON particularly recommends his Paint to the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, who wish to paint their houses of Roman cement, stucco, or brick walls, as a preven tive to damp or sea spray in exposed situations; it will not blister or peel off as common paint. On tiling, to represent slating, iron hurdles, roofs, conservatories, hot-houses, fences, farm, or any out-buildings, it will last four times as long as common paint. It is so simple in its use, that any labourer can lay it on. To ship-owners for their decks, bottoms of yes.. sels, &c., it will be shown, as well as to the public, to be supe rior to any paint in use, by testimonials of its lasting fourteen years on wood and houses, twenty years on iron (see the South wark-bridge). The public are particularly guarded in giving their orders for Wilkinson's Anti-Corrosion Paint, that no ether colour may be imposed upon them for his. A liberal allowance to the trade.

To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that"there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT. a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabcs, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the rea! cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished.

NEW GREENWICH HOSPITAL (From the Morning Advertiser.) The prorogation of Parliament affords us space for the consideration of matters of perhaps equal importance to many of those discussed in that as sembly. One of the greatest is a project for found ing an institution for the relief of aged or disabled merchant seamen—a sort of Greenwich Hospital, with the option of being relieved in their own loca lities, if they prefer it. This is a noble idea, and one most loudly called for. Merchant seamen, the chief promoters of our national wealth, the best bulwarks of our national power, the sole source of manning our navy whenever occasion requires, are left in their old age to die like dogs in ditches, or handed over to the tender mercies of the Poor laws. Really this is a scandal to our Government and our country. The press-gang, with all its hor rors, was a blessing to many, compared with the present state of things. A sailor by being pressed, and serving seven or eight years in the navy, did earn for himself an asylum in his old age ; but what can he do now ? Where now is the institu tion that will receive him when no longer able to work for his living ? We are glad to hear that many Members of both Houses of Parliament have expressed their intention of sanctioning arid supporting this plan, and that it has been discussed by many of the corporations of maritime towns, the chief Magistrates of which have written to ex press their approbation of it, including the Lord Mayor of Dublin, the Mayors of Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham, Southampton, Chester, Dartmouth, Exeter, Birmingham, Sandwich, Har wich, and Gravesend. With such support its suc cess may safely be calculated upon, and we cannot help thinking that when carried into operation, it will contribute to more prudent habits among our seamen, and wean them from the service of other States offering them no such advantages. Why not unite a sailor's savings' bank with the other contemplated objects ? PRICE OF SUGAR. EFFECT OF MONOPOLY. Table showing the ex-duty price of West India Sugar in Mincing-lane, and comparing the same against that of Foreign Sugars : London, Aug. 14, 1840. The Gazette of this evenin g will quote the Per Cwt. average price of British Plantation Musco- vado Sugar, exclusive of duty, at • . . v . 565. 9d. The actual quantity of Sugar sold on account of the importers in the week ending the 11th inst., according to the returns made upon oath by the West India Sugar Brokers, in conformity with the Act of Parliament, and on which quantity the above price is computed, consisted of 403 hhds. and 10 trs. Foreign Sugars are this week, taking quantity for quality, about 335. per cwt. cheaper than West India Sugar; an opinion prevails that this difference in price will gradually increase in favour of the latter until it reaches 41s. per cwt. ; with that difference dealers will be enabled to clear all descriptions of Foreign clayed and Muscovado Sugars, whether raised by slave-labour or not, for home consumption, at the high duty of 665. per cwt. ; the probability, therefore, is that this nation, which has said and done so much against slavery, and the slave-trade, will be compelled to consume Sugar made by slaves, thereby indirectly stimu lating the planters in Cuba and in the Brazils to extend their Sugar estates ; and, what is worse, encouraging the kidnappers to perpetrate fresh acts of atrocity against the unfortunate Africans, in order that they may secure and supply the number more of hands necessary to t h e cultivation of th e new ground f o r th e rece p t i on o f the young canes i n . tended to yi e ld S ugar enoug h t o satisfy t t he e de e m xe a r n e d is f e ro o m f the United Ki ng d om . The annoying position in which t t b e i e British a n d pveeoxpaltei vexatious, thus beca uplaced,se, by ih s the lamen table ordinary foresight on the part of Government, th e coming mischief might have been altogether avoided, for had Foreign Muscovado Sugars, made by free hands, been generally admitted four months ago to our home markets at the same rate of duty as that imposed on West India Sugar (the admission of this class of Sugar might have been managed through our East India ports without infringing any part of the Brazilian treaty with this country), the public would have enjoyed all the advantages of the stock then in our bonded warehouses, and have had the satisfaction now of knowing that an abundant quantity of excellent Sugar was on its way to our markets.

DREA DFUL MURDER. — The follo w i ng extra the ho use sus ordinary n arra ti ve is given in a recent letter fr om Mi lan ......,. A pri es t, on re turning a few nights ago from v i s i t i ng a i s n ick the r to a fri en d, and, supposing that there was person o i ‘N. n . 3 o t h f e a c f o a u r n m t .. ry il , 0 u n s e c a b r e P l o i n s g t oijnag, perceived li g h ts a family meetin g , entered with the Intention r e f he p a r f t o a u k n i i d ) g t o h f e their g fe h s t t e i r y i toyf, On rea c hi ng pended from a beam in the ceiling. lie immediately cut her down, and took means to restore her. She recovered her senses, but before she could speak she urged him by her gestures to go into an adjoining room. Here he found the father and mother both dead, having been evidently murdered. On returning to t h e poor girl, who was about fifteen, she bad recovered her voice, and told him that the house had been entered by five men, one of whom was she priest's own servant, who b a d first killed her father and mother, then hung her, and afterwards decamped wi t h a ll the plate, jewels, and money. flaying placed the resusci tated girl in good hands, the priest went home. His ser vant came to him as usual to assist him in undressing, but he desired the man to go to the cellar, and bring up a bottle of wine, as he was fatigued and thirsty, T he ser vant went down, and the priest stealing gently y after him, succeeded in locking him in. He then hastened to the Magistrate of the place, who, on hearing his tale, 'sent seine officers to his house, where they entered the cellar, and seized the servant and two of his four accomplices, but the remaining two effected their escape, The whole of the booty was also found in the cellar." THE PARLIAMENTARY SUFFRAGE.—_A Ra dical asks whether occupying a house of 16/. rent, though only assessed at 81 , and having paid all taxes, he i s en titled to a vote for the borough? Decidedly not; he should have claimed to be assessed at 10/. before the 20th instant. lie is qualified for the municipal franchise if he has paid his parish rates.—Livcrpool lifercury_W e have known instances in which revising barristers have allowed this claim, on satisfactory proof that the premises were worth Iv/ per annum.--Mail —There cannot be the smallest doubt that within the limits of cities and boroughs any one liable to a rent of ICI a-year, and having paid his rates, no matter at what amount he is rated, can claim a vote at Parliamentary eleetioas.—Journal, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JULY 17, 1840.—The In dian Appropriation Bill was discussed till the recess. After the recess the House went again into Com mittee on the Indian Appropriation Bill. Several amendments were offered, and gave rise to very inte resting discussions. Mr. Bell offered the following amendment :—For holding a treaty with the Cherokee Indians, including all the different interests and divisions which exist among them upon the basis of their right to adopt any form of Government which they, or a majority of them, may think proper, to elect their own officers or chiefs, and establish any laws or regulations they may deer!. best for their welfare and happiness, provided they do not conflict with the constitution and laws of the U. S. applicable to their affairs 5,000 dollars. This motion to amend was based on the following resolutions, which were adopted by the Committee on Indian Affairs : Resolved, That to preserve peace, to harmonize the present dissensions among the Cherokees, to settle finally and satisfactorily all unadjusted claims and accounts between them and the United States, and to establish by more distinct and definite provisions, the extent of the power and juris diction of the United States over them, especially in the punishment of offences committed by Cherokees in their own country, it is highly expedient that a treaty should be held with their whole n a tion, upon the basis of their right to adopt any form of Government, they, or a majority of them, may think proper—to elect their own oWeets or chiefs, and establish say-laws or, regula tions they tnayateent *hallo their welfare and happiness.- provided they do not conflict with the conatitution and laws of the United States applicable to their affairs. Resolved. That for this purpose the sum of five thousand dollars should be appropriated and placed at the disposal of the President. Mr. Bell spoke at great length in support of the amendment, going fully into the present state of our relations with the Cherokees. He undertook to show that our Government had violated almost every treaty stipulation that they had made with the Cherokees. We were bound by treaty to protect them from do mestic strife and foreign aggression ; to guaranty to them a Governme n t o f t h e i r own c h o i ce ; to pay them certain sums of mo ne y, & c . & c . , a ll o f w hi ch stipula tions had been violated on our part. A form of Go vernment had been adopted by a general council of the nation, and almost without a dissenting voice ; but our Government had refused to recognize it, and had em powered General Arbuckle to dictate another Govern ment to them. This General had stated that, when he obtained a reinforcement of troops, he would settle the question by force. The Government here had refused to recognise the delegation from the Cherokees. and withheld from them their money due under the treaty of removal. In fact, Mr. Bell insisted that almost every step had been taken by this Government to kindle a war along the Western border—a war with the Cherokees—a war with all the tribes of the West. Nothing had restrained the Cherokees from taking up the tomahawk but an earnest and sincere desire, on their part, to preserve peace. They were prudent and sagacious. Many of their most influential men were wealthy ; they were permanently settled, and were making improve ments—all their interests were for peace. A war with them would be no li g ht ma tt e r. The Superintendent informed us that in one day's march they could th row twenty thousand men on the frontiers of Arka nsas . Not twenty millions, but a hundred millions would be the cost of that war, besides the sacrifice of thousands of lives. He urged the nec essity of making an e ff or t to arrest the evils which he anticipated from the present state of irritation among the Cherokees. The Senate had a very long and laborious session, and though the thermometer was ranging from 90 to 93, the debate was animated, and continued till the hour of adjournment, 10 P.M. Mr. Wall moved to strike out the•restrictions in the Act of 1817, " prohibiting the discounting of notes by individuals," &c., in the District of Columbia. This was moved in consequence of the Banks of the District being obliged to wind up their affairs. It was agreed to at once, and, strange to say, it is precisely what Mr. Tappan attempted two days before, and for which ob tained only two votes. SURVEY OF THE NORTH-EAST BOUNDARY. A Bill was passed, through all its stages, authorizing the President to explore and survey the North-cast Boundary, and appropriating 26,000 dollars for that purpose. Mr. Vattemare's plan for the exchange of books with foreign powers, which was rejected the other day, was reconsidered and passed. The Bill making appropriations for the support of the army for the year J 1340, was taken up, and variously amended. One amendment was to grant an outfit for a charge to Texas, an outfit of $`6,000 for Com. Porter —the latter amendment was taken by yeas and nays, and carried 19 to 1.5. Mr. Tallmadge made two attempts to obtain appro priations for the improvement of the Hudson River, above and below Albany, &c. Mr. T. urged these with great zeal, but they failed. The first appropriation asked for was $50,000, and when that failed, he re duced it to $6,000, and asked the yeas and nays, and die vote stood 13 yeas and 21 nays. Mr, Wright moved an amendment providing that, in case the revenue should be insufficient for the ap propriations, the President should have the discretionary power to withhold or reduce the appropriations for cer tain objects, such as amendments of fortifications, ord nance, barracks, &c. Mr. Wright stated that, in case the revenue should fall off from customs and lands, or if the deposite banks and the U. S. Bank, should be enable to pay their debts to the United States, there would be a deficiency. We must, then, either autho rise a loan, strike out some of these appropriations, or take the course which the Committee recommended. It appears that the whole amount appropriated by the Bill is five and a half millions ; and that, under the amendment, the President may withhold one fourth of that amount. Mr. Southard opposed the amendment, but it was agreed to. Tile Bill was debated in quite an animated strain from beginning to end, end ordered to be engrossed at about eight o'clock. The Senate then took up the general orders. (Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce.) WASHINGTON, JULY 18, 1840.—RETROCEDING THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIk.—In the Senate, memorials were presented from several hundred citizens of the town of Alexandria and adjoining country, praying that they may be receded to Virginia, giving it as a reason that they considered themselves oppressed by the late legislation of Congress. It was to be printed and laid on the table. The new charter for the city of Washington (ex tending the rights of suffrage exclusive of property qua lification) was on its third reading, when it was laid on the table to be taken up the next session. A joint resolution was discussed to cede the stock owned by the United States in the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal to the State of Maryland. This is quite an important step, and, if the House pass it, the State of Maryland will soon complete the work to the town of Cumberland, in the neighbourhood of which lies co al, iron, &c. The stock of the Government hangs rke an incubus on the exertions of Maryland; because would not make any further appropriations, and the State would not go on until it had the entire stock under its control—three millions more will be required to carry the canal to Cumberland, which the State will furnish, and in a few years more this work will be com pleted, furnishing another important link in the great chain of internal improvement. "'There was a very general feeling app 'rent on the part of the Senate to allow Maryland to take the Govern ment. Stock and do the best she could with it. It was passed. The joint resolution to charter, for one year, such of the banks of the district as would meet their liabilities is specie, was taken up, and a long and angry discussion ensued. Mr. Allen sought to make the stockholders liable, but it was not sustained—and the resolution was ordered to be engrossed. The Bill from the House making appropriations for the contingent. and current expenses of the Indian De partment, was reported withof..t amendment ; but objec tion being made, the Bill was not read the third time. 'The Bill making appropriations for the Navy for the year 1840, came back from the House with an amend ment of the Senate stricken out, to wit, the appropria tion of $30,000 for the survey of the southern coast from Apalachicola to the mouth of the Mississippi. Mr. Southard and Mr. Henderson made able speeches in favour of retaining the amendment, the latter declar ing that he would rather lose the Bill than sacrifice the amendment. Mr. Walker also advocated the retaining of the amendment with a great deal of zeal. The Senate re fused to recede by a vote of 18 to 10. The House finally passed the Indian Appropriation Bill to-day, after long debates on various items of it. The amendment adopted in Committee for settling the difficulties with the Cherokees was rejected, though the House was warned that they must take war as the consequence. The Senate amendments to the Navy Appropriation Bill wore next discussed. The amendment striking out the New York Pry Dock was concurred in—also the The discussion was continued till 12 o'clock, and seemed likely to-last-all night. ::: The 'Smite 'Ottliourited, without eirtyaching on the 'gal;62iil3 - ::"iffiny members were or opinion that a Sun day Session was inevitable--though the House had selected Tuesday as the day of adjournment, to avoid the desecration of the Sabbath. The House adjourned without taking the question on the amendment to the Army Bill. GLEANINGS FROM THE LATEST NEW YORK PAPERS. ANOTHER FATAL AFFRAY IN MISSISSIPPI.--COU RAGE AND PRESENCE OF MIND OF A LADY.—W e find in the New Orleans Picayune of the 7th instant, the following particulars of a fatal encounter, near Woodville, Miss. :—A serious affray occurred near Woodville, Miss., on Sunday morning, 28th of June. As we have learned the particulars from a gentleman who was at Woodville at the time, it seems that a Col. D. Woodward, with his brother and a man named Glass, waylaid a carriage containing Col. W.'s wife, and two other ladies, with a Mr. Frazier, a step son of W.'s by his wife, and two or three small children. The first named party ordered the other to stop, and Col. W. immediately fired a pistol directly at the persons in the carriage, wounding one of the ladies in the cheek. Young Frazier then jumped from the carriage and fired a pistol at Col. Woodward, wounding him badly in the face. With another pistol he lodged a ball in his body, which killed him instantly. The brother of the latter immediately shot Frazier in the back as he was returning to the carriage. Glass in the meantime had fled. A brother of Frazier, who was on horseback, behind the carriage, now came up, when Woodward fired a gun at him, shattering his arm badly with buckshot. At the last accounts the Frazier who was first wounded was not expected to live. One of the ladies -in the carriage showed great pre sence of mind, by ordering her children to lie down. She then picked up a pistol which had been dropped, and threatening to shoot one of Col. Woodward's ne groes, who had seized the horses, induced him to let go, and then drove off. It seems that there had been a difference of long standing between Colonel Woodward and his wife, in which her children by a former husband, the two Fra ziers, had taken part. A reward of 150 dollars has been offered for the apprehension of Woodward's bro ther, who is now at large. Glass has been apprehended and is in jail.—New York Commercial Advertiser. MOEILE, JUNE 25.—ATROCIOUS MURDER.--A murder was perpetrated last Saturday by a desperado named Edward Hall, upon the body of Daniel Ellis, which equals in cold-bloodedness any occurrence on re cord. It appears that the deceased was the cultivator of a small farm about 30 miles from the city, and whilst standing at his gate on Saturday, Hall came up to him and demanded some peaches. The manner of the de mand being offensive and uncourteous, the deceased re *used to give them; upon which Hall, almost without further parley, lifted his gun, placed it against the breast of the other, and deliberately shot him dead. The wen : pon was loaded with buck-shot, which went directly through his heart. So close was the assassin, that the marks of the muzzle were perceptible on the coat of the dead man, and his clothes were burned in several places by the powder. The deceased, we are informed, was an inoffensive and industrious individual, and no other reason is assigned for this atrocious act, except cold-blooded wantonness. The moment the murder was committed, Hall rode off, and at the latest ac counts was still at large.—Register. FIVE NEGROES EXECUTED.-.-We learn from the Savannah Georgian that five negroes of the late Mr. Alexander Atkinson, of Camden, Georgia, were hung on Monday, the Gth inst. at the spot on the plantation of the deceased, where the murder of their late master was committed They were buried under the gallows. TAKING THE CENSUS.—" Do you live here, Sir ?" said a gentleman of easy address and of some of importance, who carried a blank book in one hand and a silver pencil in the other—" Do you live here, Sir ?" he said, addressing the male occupant, as he uncere moniously poked his head into an Irishman's shanty, in the suburbs of the city, yesterday. "Do I what ?" said the Emeralder, somewhat sur prised. " Do you live here ?" said the gentleman. " Why thin, sweet bad luck to you every day yoo see a wooden pavin'-stone, you spyia-spalpeen," said Pat, apparently much enraged—" where else would I live? Isn't this the own house, and isn't me house me castle? What right have you to hispass on the primisis and step in widout sayin' be yer lave,' or God save all here,' jist as ifyou was the estated gentleman ?" " My dear sir," said the visitor, " I did not come here with the view of unnecessarily intruding on you ! I am employed taking the census, and came to take your's and your family's." " To take me sinsis !—give me a charm, I suppose— put yer comnetker on me ! Oh ! pursumin' to you, you decavin' rascal 1 Do you want to make an ontacihown or an idiot of me? Clear out of my consarns, or I'll be afther giving' you a poltleogue that'll take your sinsis," and he made a scientific move at the stranger, in true Donnybrook fair style, who requested him not to put his threat into execution, but permit him to explain. He told Patrick that he was employed by the Go vernment to ascertain the number of people who reside in the city, and that he merely called, in pursuance of his vocation, to learn how many his family numbered. " And is that all ye want ?" said Pat, assuming a less belligerei.nt tone. " No more," said the gentleman with the book. " And why the divil didn't you say so at first ?" said Pat, " and I'd tell it while a cat 'ud be aitin' a ha'porth o' butther. Stay—let me see—(and he began to scratch his head, by way of assistinghismemory) : there's meself and Nelly—that's one." " You and Nelly are two," said the gentleman, mak ing his memorandum at the same time. " Well, there's more of yer assurance," said Pat. " Do you know betther than the priest ? Didn't he tell us the night we wor married that we wor one ?" " Well, I'll not argue the question with you," said the gentleman. " Proceed." Well, thin,' said Pat, " there's the four gossoon that's livin', and Brian and Teddy tha t ' s dead ; there's s Nancy, that's at home with her gran'mhootruheor,wiind uudt,, Ire land ; and the two colleens that's a there's the pig and the ould m are, k him' T w h h a o t iut will d do, r," t S h i i r s ," t isaidttahkee n e e o n s u u o s t - o t a o f e census-taker, e s t o a p e p t i o n a g l number of Pat's family.

A REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF ABSENCE OF MIND. —A celebrated country singing Waiter, who travelled from village to village in his vocation of peddling psalm tunes by rote, generally rode on horseback with his Cre mona slung over his shoulders. After several deep ca denzas executed con spirito through the medium of an instrument of glass in the bar-room of a road-side ta vern, it became necessary to accelerate the tempo of travelling. The maestro in haste flung the horse over his shoulder and mounted t h e violin. A few measures belore the last double bar Ile discovered that he was performing in duplicate time instead of quadruple, the wrong animal's leg being uppermost, he immediately turned a semi Somerset, and produced an effective finale. —Troy IVhig. ROBBING THE VICE-PRESIDENT.---On Friday even ing last, while Colonel Johnson, Vice-Pres:dent of the United States, was at the Temperance Hall, Philadel phia, his watch was stolen out of his fob. Very little was said about the affair, except to his immediate friends. He returned from Reading, and on Wednes day morning his watch, " in good order rind wcll7eondi tioned," was sent to him.

CHOLERA IN MISSISSIPPI. — Dreadfulfatality among the slaves!—The following story, says the St. Louis Pen nant, is no sketch of fancy—we have responsible autho rity for its truth:— " A few weeks ago an extensive cotton planter in Mississippi, who owned about 150 negroes, found that the cholera had suddenly broken out among them, and raged most furiously—carrying of some 10 or 15 daily. 'rho news travelled speedily among his neighbours, and no one had the temerity to go near the "infected dis trict for fear of the contagion I' Every iday a long line of rough board coffins were carried into the fields, and deposited in the earth, while the citizens expressed the deepest sympathy for their unfortunate neighbour. At Length they were nearly all gone, and the ruined planter sold his land and started for Texas, to commence the world anew. After several days had elapsed, however, several gentlemen, suspecting that all was not right, caused a number of the coffins to be unearths], and found that they contained—nothing. Deuce the bit of a negro was in any of them ! A few weeks aftermards, accounts were received from Texas, stating that the " unfortunate gentleman," had purchased a splendid plantation there, and with the whole of his 150 negroes, was driving the cotton business at a great rate ! The gentleman's creditors looked blank at each other, and the neighbours laughed heartily at the joke." (From the Net' Orleans Bulletin.) TRANSPORTATION OF SLAVES PROM THE STATE.— At the last session of our Legislature, an Act was passed for the further security of the owners of slaves, with the provisions of which all ship and steamboat captains should make themselves well acquainted. The penalties are more severe than any hitherto im posed. If a slave is found on board of a ship, steam boat, or other vessel, without the written consent of the owner, the law creates a presumption, that the slaves were received on board with intention of depriving their masters of them, and of transporting them out of the State. This presumption exists, whether the slaves were actually transported, or only on the eve of being PransPor.44—.rima OeY- were concealed or not. Nei t h er can th is prcsomptionle,destroyed, but on the testimony of at Lest two witnesses, not tn• ployed on board the vessel, and on eorro )(fluting circumstances. By way of increasing the vigilance of masters and owners of si:ps and steani-tu, IN', they are made responsible to the owners of the slave for the payment of a fine of five hundred dollars per slave taken away or lost, besides the value of the slave. The fine is incurred whenever a slave is found on board without a written permission from the owner. Besides, the owner of any slave, thus traesported or found on board, has a tacit privilege on the ship or steam-boat, without reference to the person in whose possession or charge the vessel may be. In addition to the value of the slave, and the fine imposed, the slave holder may recover from the proprietors and captains of ships, and other vessels, all the damages that may have been suffered—the parties being responsible in solido, and a lien also attaching to the ship or steam boat engaged in transporting the slave. From the above statement, it will be seen how care ful officers of vessels should be in the employment of negroes. A slave found on board without a pass in writing from his master, will subject them to a fine of five hundred dollars. These regulations seem to be rather severe to strangers, but they are not in fact more strict than is necessary for the protection of the rights of our citizens. The facilities tor the transportation of slaves hence are very great. There is also exhibited too much carelessness on the part of masters of vessels in the employment of negroes. The frequent escape of slaves is sufficient evidence that the provisions of the law cannot be too strict or rigid. All that is wanted to prevent the recurrence of these losses, is a greater vigilance on the part of the captains of steam-boats and ships ; and we trust that their interest will now lead them, to adopt such precautions as the circumstances of the case suggest and require. (From the Niagara Chronicle.) We regret to state that desertions.are taking place on this frontier on a very extensive scale, and from both sides of the river. The deserters, too, risk their lives in a most daring manner, and in one instance no less than three men have perished in the attempt to abandon the colours of their country. Surely the two Govern ments might concoct some plan whereby this great evil to both would be remedied. On Saturday last four American soldiers deserted to this place from Fort Niagara, two of them having crossed the river on a plank, and the other twu in a small skiff. On Tuesday two more came across ; and we are in formed that higher up the line the deserters from Buf falo are very numerous. Several of the soldiers of the 93d Regiment have de serted from Drummondvile.# On Tuesday night last four of their attempted to cross the river on a plank a little below the Clifton House, but only one of them reached the American shore ; the other three were drowned. • Drummondville is close to the Falls of Niagara anti was formerly known as Lundy's Lane, where the severe battle was fought during the war. —Counerctal Advertiser. ANOTHER PHILADELPHIA LOCOMOTIVE. --M r . Nur ris shipped another of Ins engines yesterday on board the .11entczwra for England, being the tenth which he has furnished the Birmingham and Gloucester Railroad Company. It is of the largest crass •f locomotives, and is one of those which are ordered expressly for their inclined plane ; being capable thereupon, and else where, of drawing an average of about fifty tons more than those of British manufacture. This is supposed to be superior to any yet sent, and its cost " on board" was eighteen hundred and fifty pounds sterling. Mr. Norris has orders for five more, from the same source. We arc informed that all the engines sent to England are furnished with American engineers.—Philadelpbia United States Gazette. TORNADO IN YORK COUNTY PA.—A violent. and destructive tornado occurred in Newbury Township, York County Pa, on the afternoon of the Bth inst. which in its effects was similar to one before noticed, on the same evening. A correspondent of the York Gazette says that hundreds of the largest trees were hurled to the ground —some of the tallest and sturdi est oaks snapped off like a dried and rotten reed, others torn by the roots from their gigantic fastenings in the earth and swept away. Those at a distance of two miles from the scene of destruction could sec the tops of trees and grain in the sheaf whirled along high in the air. The storm continued but a few moments. It extended about two miles, embracing in some parts of its progress a width of about 30 rods, demolishing the principal timber, fences, etc. in its path. CUNARD PAVILION.—The workmen arc now busily engaged in this great structure. It rises directly in front of the Maverick Houk, and has a length of nearly two hundred feet, and a breadth of about one hundred. The roof is connected with the upper story of the hotel, in such a manner as to include all the pit.zzas and front rooms. In the centre of that side of the pavilion most distant from Maverick House, will be elevated seats for Cunard, the President and Vice-Presidents of the day, and the Executive Committee of arrangements —oppo site to whom will be the gallery for the musicians ; and all the seats are to be arranged so as to afford the guests and subscribers a full opportunity to witness the cere monies of the occason. It will be decorated with ban ners, evergreens, and the ensigns a n d fl ags o f a ll nat i ons, which, when illuminated by vari-coloured lamps in the evening, will be beautiful and magnificent in effect almost beyond description. Opposite the centre seats will be inscribed in large letters the names of Watt, Cunard, and Fulton ; and on each end of the pavilion, the names of the Bri tannia, Caledonia, Acadia, and Columbia—they being the four mammoth steaw.ships of the regular lino between Boston and Liverpool. The names of those cities, with that of Halifax, will also hare a conspi cuous place. Tho favourite Unicorn will be embla zoned on the music gallery ; while various sentiments arid devices will be inserted here and there within the awning. The building will accommodate an immense number of people. There will be no distinction of party. The Governors of New York and all the New-Eng land states have been invited to attend. The Mayors of Trov, Hudson, Albany, Lowell, Salem, Boston, the presidents of the railroads, the collector of this port, Mr. Webster, the post-master, the British and other Consuls, General Wilton, and many other distinguished persons from all parts of the Union and abroad, are likewise expected to attend.—Boston Atlas. BUFFALO.—Twenty-six years ego only one small building was to be seen in Buffalo, which now contains more than 2.0,000 inhabitants. MARYLAND WHEAT CROP.—In the Western counties of Maryland, and along the Susquehanna valley, the wheat crops h►ve been excellent; and the yield full ; on the Eastern shore there hare been sow• plaints of the fly, scab, and rust. The yield, in the two sections and adjacent counties of Virginia will, says ti.e Baltimore American, it is believed, prove a fair average occ in the aggregate. l e ca d p i p v e ui r i s o , n w being m 1. a l e l l IMPROVED HA NDICA PPING.—A correspon dent of the Post suggests that the Goo . dwooti stakes s not, he continued, theni ab en' o s t i iu i r r led d ll t beu o re'a' s i' di videdunders u sci r no - t itfour--old of his year these stone, and after the race discover that six stone might have been given?
