pose of informing YOU that your ingeni-
Gus and interesting paper entitled :" Arc
tic Memoir" was read before the Ly-
ceum of Natural History here, at the
last meeting, on the 18th inst. and heard
with great attention. 1t remains on file
for future consideration.
Captain Ross has, it appears, fallen
under the displeasure Of the British gov
eminent, for abandoning the northern
expedition entrusted to him, before he
had sufficiently exerted himself. | own

Symmes been the commander, think
he would have pushed further and given
a better account Of the region near the
pole.
An enlarged and new edition of my
Essay CD the Ice-islands of the Northern

been published. 1t embraces all the
memorable facts, from 1905 to 1919, in

borean ice, and the dangers it presents
to navigation, as it drifts towards the
south. 1t is contained, for the purpose
of more extensive diffusion and useful
ness, in pages Z to 76, very late pub
LEGATION of Mr.. Edmund NJ. Blunt, the

On being asked if l would consent to a

COMMUNICATION.


1t has been announced in the St. Louis
papers, that an agent of the general post
office is soon to be stationed at or near
Shawaneetown, to report delinquent post
masters, mail carriers, &c. If this agent
is vested with the requisite powers, and
will exercise them without fear or affec-
ton, much good may be expected TO re-
suit to the community. 1t is necessary
that he should have the power of search
ing post-oifices and the buildings con-
nected with them, and of exploring the
hidden recesses of out-houses, garrets,
and old flour barrels. He ought also to
have the power of sending for persons
and haherS, and of inquirng how many
letters and newspapers are used as wrap
ping paper, and how many are converted
into kites, without ever reaching their
original destination. In addition to this,
he ought to have the power of employ
ing extra carriers to forward such letters
and papers as he may find stored in the
aforesaid out-houses, garrets, and old
flour barrels; and of ordering larger or
additional portmanteaus and mail bags
to be procured when those in use are
found to be too small. Finally, Let SINH
lar arrangements be generally adopted,
at least west of the A llegany mountains,
and the most beneficial results will fol-
low. Honest postnasters and mail
carriers will then no longer suffer for the
misconduct of others, and dishonest ones
will be detected and removed.

have determined not to declare any divi-
dend for the first six months of the pre-
sent year. In consequence of the losses
which they apprehend, CIR have actually
sustained, from the unexanpled failures
among their debtors, chiefly in neigh
boring city, they lave deemed it expodi-
ent to reserve in the vaults of the bank
the amount of profits which otherwise
would have enabled them to announce
pretty good dividend. 1t is also under
stood that a meeting of the stockholders
ofthe institutions will be called at an ear
" period, in order to exhibit to them
statement of its affairs. The iudicious
and rigid measures pursued in the adj
of the bank will, we believe,
restore it to the national confidence, in a
short time, and render its stock valuable
to the holders.-Franktin Gazette.

FOR THE SPECTATOR.
Mr.. PRINTER,

Mr.. PRINTER,
Through the medium of news
papers we farmers gain our information;
and press rightly conducted may be
termed the peoples guardian. 1t is not
enough to exclaim against those who are
determined to pervert the peoples rights
in spite OF the law; but energy must be
used, or our laws and liberties are at
stake.
There are few lawless beings who
still follow the practice OF kidnapping
the unhappy blacks, and sending them
to merciless market. Within few
nights, poor black woman (who was
likely to gain her freedom by a due course
of law was bound and sent out of our
state--where, we do not know. Many
who know of these transactions, dare
not say word because of their local
situation and the old territorial club lazv.
would advise the friends of freedom
to assemble and form themselves into a
society for detecting and protecting, and
to make such regulations as the society
shall think proper, and raise funds sui
ficient to carry them into execution
Your assistance through the medium Of
your paper may render a greater service
to mankind than all the politics in chris
tendon; and | trust that as your paper
is established on the true basis of liberty,
you and your friends will not be inactive
in so righteous,a cause.
