FEM.( LE HORSE THTEF.—A. S. Tuscaroras paper states that a
young girl named Mary Horgan, lively stole a' horse and de-
camped with it. She made her entre into Sandy Township, on
the back of the animal and after displaying the spirit and beauty
of the hot se in various curvetting prancing', sold him fur a pretty
round sum, cent home and was taken primmer and committal
to prison. It is a matter of doubt whether the horse ran away
with her or she with the horse.
As etaerrort oe MARIA MONK.—It has been known for several
weeks that a number of perious were here from Canada, making
efforts to get possession of Maria Monk. Yesterday aftertv,on
she was missing, under circumstances which leave little ,doubt
that she has been carried off; and at this moment she is not im-
probably on her way to Canada. We hope every possible effort
will be made to ferret out the perpetrators of "so great a crime,
and if possible, to rescue this poor and friendless girl from fiends
in the shape of men.—Journal of Cummeree May 26.
YANKEE " BURST."—HOW much verbose pomposity of lam•
guage, too, do you find to the pulpit, where of all other places,
it is most out of .place. A few days ago, I heard an unhewn
Ambassador floor the court of Heaven.' as he' credentialized
himself—who had taken the far west in his route to the church
where I heard him—use the following burst. lie was speaking
of Judas, and Benedict Arnold - worthies ahem he volnpared

base heard, who tried for tnsell his kantry. It was the ruination
of him, and for what he had, he will be rewarded with infamy;
for his name, will certainly ge dawn to the most remotest pr;se
terity, kiyeeed all over with Hell's arsenic !'• Here be looked
around upon his audience with an air of pride, as if he .would
say—. There's a touch for you I'--American Paper.
The easternmost Yankees have hit on a new cheat, and one
that ought to be looked to at once, for it is likely to be more
dangerous than the fabrication of false flints end wooden Int ip
seed.- It is actually stated that in Maine they have actually
commenced the manufacture of east iron gun-barrels; and a
person was recently very much iniured by the bursting of one
of those atrocious counterfeits. We expect to hear next that
they cast these muskets lead!, loaded.
An eastern paper Urns expresses his regret fur meddling. with
official malfeasance. We certainly dont know any thing about
the merits or demerits of his predicament, but the paragraph
shows, to say the least of it, the hazard of saving any thirg
naughty of even the least of Uncle Samuel's Satrap; ddring
these days. Mr. Bates, the gentleman charged with pasting
counterfeit money in this town, is Puthnasterof the town of Avon,
as we learn. If we had know') this before. perhaps we might
not have mentioned the fort of his arrest, for we have been once
sued for a liter for mentioning the fact of the arrest of.mie of
Gen. Jackson's Pestmaster's on a criminal charge.—Keiriticky
Journal.
John Tracy, tried a few days since for the murder of
,his wife,
was found guitt of manslaughter. Ibi! jury must hare found
this mitigated verdict, from the peculiarly softened circumstances
of the act; as we perceive it was r merely proved that the accused
knocked his victim down stairs, and stamped her to (learn by
jumping with both feet on her stomach.—The only exellse
which the prisoner gave for this deed, was that his-Wife arcs

Dutch galliot, " The Two Brothers,'" was antornoned before the
magistrates by the captain of the ." Fame," a vessel lyibg 'at
auchor in the river, charged with having tun foul of hiS vesfiel
on Tuesday night, and.seriously damaged her, for which the corn-
plainarrt sought the amount of the damage done. It appeared that
the Dutch vessel had sailed out of the port with a pilot on board,
but the wind proving boisterous and contrary she last her top-
west, and returned again up the river; -As she w.og coming up,
having still the pilot on board, she,run foul of the " Fame; '
and caused the damage complained of. Mr. Hall decided that
as the captains of vessels are compelled to take pilots on board,
by the act 2 Geo. 11 F. c. 39 I,ec. 59; to take the conduct of their
vessels, while the pilot remains on boaidThe caFtain is not-liable

captain of the Dutch galliot teas therefore 'dismissed, and a sum-

PROPOSED MoNCAtENT TO THE LATR JAMES WATT.... \s,
have seen a beautiful design of a monument to the late Jartms
Watt, Esq., the great benefactor of this country. it is the i*
C
vention of his townsman, the venerable. Buchanan, of
Greenock, the teacher, we believe, of several of the respectable
inhabitants of this place. It indicates and resisters the diree.
tion and strength of the wind, likewise the rise and fall of the
tide, and contains a clock, a barometer, and a thermemete'r,.,
of a min to whom Liverpool is so
and is surmounted by a statue of "James Watt. It would he,a,
