THE LONDON PHALANX, a NEW
WEEKLY JOURNAL, price Sixpence, advocating
Association on Joint Stock Principles, and Colonization at
Home and Abroad, according to the Theory of the late
CHARLES FOURIER.

The FIRST NUMBER of this Journal will be published on
SATURDAY, April 3, and will contain, besides the News of the
Week, and other interesting matter, a general declaration of
Prink %vies concerning Politics, Religion, Association, Colo-
nization, and the leading branches of a universal and progres-
sive policy. The Theory of Charles Fourier has already ob-
tained considerable influence in Europe and America, and it
only requires a well-conducted Periodical to enable the people
of this country to appreciate the value of its important princi-
ples ; its main object being to improve the industrial habits of
the people, and conciliate all parties by teaching the art of pro-
ducing wealth in great abundance. The different Societies in
Europe and America, established with a view to carrying out
these principles in practice, have several widely-circulated
periodicals at their command ; in Paris they have a Daily
Journal entitled "LA PHALANGE," and at Buffalo, in
North America, a Weekly Journal, " THE PHALANX,"
has been sometime, now, in general circulation. THE LON-
DON PHALANX is the organ of a similar Society, recently
established with a view to carrying out its principles in practice,
as soon as possible, in Great Britain and her Colonies.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES DEPARTMENT.

By the plan cielusively developed by the Society, a single
deferred annuity is made, nut only to answer the same object;
but to equal in amount the entire sum of all the advantages
heretofore only obtained by the middle and industrious classes
by separate investments in Savings' Banks, Benefit Societies,
and Loan Banks.

1. A small yearly er weekly contribution will secure the
most ample return for after life; thus-21. 12s. per annum (Is.
a week) at 20 will at 65 gire the policy holder the choice of an
annuity for life of 471. 16s. 6d. • 394/. 11s. in cash; or policy
without further contributions of 4661. at death.

2. Two-thirds atany time lent on deposit of policy, being a
Lund always available during sickness or want of employment.
,?). Two-thirds of all payments returned to representatives in
ease of premature death.
The report to the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors,
prospectuses, tables, &c., may be obtained at the office of the
Society, by letter or otherwise, T. 6, Cornhill, London, or al
any of its Branches throughout the country.

OPINIONS OF THE FRIESS.

Scotsman.—" Any one who will dip into the contents of this
work will be agreeably surprised to find the way. to knowledge,
in a very abstruse subject, completely macadamized."
Observer.—" We would recommend all who wish to Insure
to consult its pages. To those who are engaged in the busi-
ness of Insurance it must be of the greatest benefit as a stand-
ard work of reference." .
The " Spectator," in noticing another work on Insurance,
says, " Mr. Alillar's Introduction is a much more elaborate
work, showing how to calculate the value of Annuities, Re-
versions, Policies, &c., in as easy a way as such matters can
be done. His sketch of the constitution of the different
Offices is much fuller."

the re. appearance of the Indians this evening at Orange
Creek, within three miles of this fort. Lieutenant
Albertis, of the 2d regiment of infantry, who was de-
tached from Fort Russell some few days since to garrison
Fort Brooke, about five miles distant, was startled
about eleven o'clock this morning by hearing the
cry of the Indian bandits in the direction of Fort Russell.
Taking with him twenty-four men of his small command,
Licut. Albertis immediately left Fort Brooke, and fol-
lowing the cries, encountered the Indians in force at
Orange Creek Hammock, only three miles from Fort
Russell. On perceiving the Indians Lieutenant A hertis
opened a heavy fire upon them, which continued for an
hour, but as the Indian force continued to increase, num-
bering about one hundred, and Licut. Albertis having fired
away all his ammunition, he was compelled to retreat back
to Fort Brooke, bearing with him five of his men severely
wounded.

Haring deposited the wounded in a block boas to.
getber with the females of the post, and established a
guard, with o rdera to fight or die, should the post be
attacked during his absence, Lieut. Albertis again issued
forth, accompanied by only 17 men, with a determination
to cut his way through the Indians, in order to communi-
cate with Captain Barnum, the commander of Fort
Russell. _ _ _ _

O❑ arriving once more at Orange Creek, the In-
dians emerged from the hammock, and offered Lieu-
tenant Albertis battle, in the broad pine barren.
That officer, with bravery almost unparalleled,
with only seventeen men, again fought the enemy neatly
an hour, and made his say through the whole force of
Alex. Tustenugge to the post of Fort Russell, losing
along the gauntlet of the fire only one man.
The Commanding Officer of Fort Russell immediately
left in pursuit of the enemy. Our waggons have already
brought into Fort Russell two killed—one corporal and
one private ; six wounded—one sergeant, one corporal,
and four privates, and one missing.

MR. VAN BURRN.—This gentleman, unlike Colonel
Richard M. Johnson, did not appear at the inauguration.
The ex-Vice-President Johnson, in a most handsome and
polite manner, escorted Mr. Tyler to the Vice-President's
chair, beard him sworn into office, and accompanied the
President elect to the east front of the capitol. Mr. Van.
Buren kept possession of the White House till the morning
of the 3d March, when he went to the Capitol, where he
remained till twelve o'clock to sign the Appropriation and
other Bills, and then left for the house of Mr. Gilpin, the
Attorney-General—the White House being no longer tin-
der his contra—Alexandria Gazette.

THE CLARION.—This find ship, owned by Messrs.
Glovers, made an experimental trip yesterday, with the
Ericson Propellers, and to the astonishment cf the be-
holders, made seven and a half miles per hour, instead of
four, which was supposed to be the maximum. The whole
machinery weighs only 2l tons; the cylinders are 28
inches diameter, propellers 6 feet 6, and the pres-
sure on the boilers only five .pounds, using anthra-
cite coal. The speed can be increased beyond
doubt. Thus commences a new era in steam na-
vigation, and, as we think, a termination of steam
packets as such, for it is obvious that the economy of the
propellers--the slight room they occupy, and the certainty
of operation, will induce packet owners to apply them to
all their fine ships. Take for example Collins's line of
packets, each over 1,000 tons, calculate the number of
days of fair wind when sails can be profitably used, and
make up the deficiency by the use of the propellers
at only seven miles per hour, and a Ttansatlantic
voyage is performed nearly as expeditiously an by
a steam-ship, without losing any great portion of
room now used for cargo. Thn we have the benefit of
the propellers to work off or keep off a lee shore, in long
dead cal Ms—and various other beneficial objects. On
homeward bound voyages, in constant
.western winds and
currents, the passages may be nearly limited to thirty
days, and the outward bound always under twenty. In
every part of the Union we look to see thin improvement
adopted, particularly for our Charleston, New Orleans,
and Southern packets. It is a great and must successful
experiment.—. New York Star.
A DUEL IN PROSPECT.—We learn from several credit-
able sources, that a scene occurred in the United States
Senate on Tuesday evening, just before the cars started,
which it is generally believed will result in a duel between
Mr. iClay, of Kentucky, and Mr. King, of Alabama. The
substance of the affair, as related, is, that during the de-
bate on the resolution for the dismissal of Blair and Rives,
elected printers to the Senate during the late Session,
Mr: Clay made some remarks derogatory to the character
of Mr. Blair, and was responded to by Mr. King, who said
Mr. Blair's character was as good as Mr. Clay's. To this
Mr. Clay replied, that any person who would say that, ut-
tered a falsehood ; coupling the ternark with an imputa-
tion of cowardice. Mr. King declined a verbal reply,
sat down, wrote a note and sent it to Mr. Clay, who re-
turned an answer, and the Senate. then broke up in great
confusion. Whether a duel shall be the result or not, the
affair looks certainly very warlike. We had some hope
that the day of Congressional brawls was at an end, but it
seems we are destined to disappointment in this respect.
Both gentlemen have since been put under binds to keep
the peace. We are informed by a friend direct from
Washington, that measures were in progress on Wednes-
day morning for the adjustment of the unfortunate difficulty
between Messrs. Clay
.and King, of Ala, and the friends
of the former gentlemen were very sanguine that the
affair would be honourably and amicably adjusted.—New
York Sun.
FROM WASIIINGTON.—The difficulty between Messrs.
Clay and King is said to have been settled amicably. A
Correspondent of the Baltimore American, writing under
date of the 11th inst., says—" I am happy to state that
ail apprehensions arising from the unexpected difficulty
between Mr. Clay and Mr. King, have been put to rest by
the entire and satisfactory settlement of the affair. Mr.
Clay will leave Washington to-day or to-morrow, and will
pass through your city." The Senate, on Monday, by a
vote of 26 to 18, dismissed Blair and Rives from the office
of printers to that body. The election of pi inter to the
Senate for the 27th Congress, will not be made until the
next meeting of the two Houses.—Boston Courier.
