Extraordinary elopensent. The extra
ordinary elopement OF Mr.. William Trigg,
former cashier of the Bank Of Kentucky,
with young woman of respectable con.
nections, has been stated IN this paper.
His age, his religious standing, and in-
tegrity of character had given to the
affair much interest.-We find in Detroit
paper the following gratifying result:
&C To assuage in some measure the griei
and indignation which the relatives and
frieuds OF the indiscreet and unfortunate
pair must feel at their extraordinary and
wicked conduct, we have the satisfaction
10 state, that about two weeks ago they
arrived at Maiden, Cat which time the
statement Of their elopement had reached
this place) and as soon as their arrival was
known here, measures were taken to con-
vince them of the improperly OF their
conduct. The gentlemen who undertook
this delicate business, and who, we believe
were personally acquainted with Mr.
Trigg, had the satisfaction to find bott
deeply impressed by the magnitude oftheil
guilt, and The injury they had done theil
relatives and themselves-They consented
to an immediate separation, and the youn:
woman is nov 10 this place, while MIR
Trigg remains at Maiden.

The Usage Mission, which left this city
few days since, arrived at Philadelphi;
on the 22d Of April, on their way to the
Arkansas. The Centinel states they were
received with great affection and truly
christian hospitality" Sermons were
preached in several Of the Presbyterian
and Reformed churches, and collections
taken up, which together with other con-
tributions made in this city, amounted 10
four days TO not less than 1000 dollars in
cash and in goods. On the 25th April,
the family commenced the journey TO-
wards Pittsburg, escorted part OF the way
by many friends from the city Of Phila-
delphia.
The place where the above family Io-
cate themselves, is 800 miles from the
mouth of the Arkansas river, among the
Usage Indians. The Rev. Mr.. Chapman
visited the country last summer. aud rep
resents the Usage Chiefs as very friendly
10 the education Of their children.
During his travels among them, Mr..
Chapman once failed Of finding the station
Of our national agent 10 that station, after
having rode ID the wilderness for sis days
by the direction of the compass. He was
Obliged to proceed SIX days more 90 his
journey, before he could reach any settle
meut of white people. In the mean time,
he was ready to perish for want OF food /;
for he had not provided himself with
beads, wampum, ornaments, aud such like
things, as constitute the circulating me-
dnm among the Indians. At length, ne
thought of some needles, which he had
picked up ia the city OF Washington,
while Oh bis way to the west. He saw an
Indian woman attempting to sew with
nail, which had been rubbed smooth and
slim; and he mended QUE of his own gar
ments 10 their presence, with needle and
thread. Having shown them the use of a
needle, he held up four in bis hand, and
made signs that he would give them for
some food. Immediately they brought
him large venison ham, for these four
needles; and then, with one or two more,
aud little thread, he purchased fat
turkey. Thus bundle of needles, pro-
videntially dropped 10 the city of Wash
ington, and found by our missionary, who
could not return them to the owner, was
the chief source of his support for many
days, and prevented him from starvation.

WOODEN SCALED SHOES.

Mr.. Gusts, Of Arlington, 10 letter to
the editor, observes" Wooden scaled are
the very best shoes for labourers that |
ever met with, but more especially for
negroes. They keep the feet warm and
dry 10 ditching, and in all kinds of labor
to be performed out of doors 10 winter.
and are saving Of expense of fully 80
per cent. My people are all shod in this
way, and they themselves declare, that
they never were so comfortable in their
feet before, while my leather bill from
$500, has been reduced to scarce $50.

To the Providence Manufacturers Jour
nal, of r. |. it is stated, that cotton cloths,
which formerly could not be afforded there
for less than from 6 to l8 cents a yard,
are now afforded for 9 and 10 cents, and
the demand for them is extensive. The
reduction in price, it would seem, is in
part owing to the present reduced price OF
wages, and Of the raw cotton, and 10 part
to the improvements in the mode of manu-
facture.

From the National intelligence, May II.

After the Message from the President
Of the United States to Congress, on the
subject of our relations with spain, there
can be but little doubt but that that mat
ter will be suffered by Congress to rest
where it now does in the expectation
that the Cortes will do what is just in re-
lation to us, by causing the Treaty to be
ratified, and the faith Of the Spanish IA
ton to be redeemed from the reproach
which has been cast upon it by the refusal
of its sovereign to ratify the treaty. An
attempt was made, yesterday, to obtain
an expression Of the opinion of the House
of Representatives in favor of different
course but the previous question being
then called, and the call being sustained
by majority of the house, the motion
was overruled. There appears, indeed,
no probability that Congress will, under
present circumstances, no urgency de.
mandiog ii, authorize the President to
cause TO be occupied any part Of the ter.
ritory in the possession Of Spain.
In the course of the debate yesterday,
MIR. Clay, (Speaker,) avowed his inteu.
ton shortly to retire to the pursuits oil
private life.
A joint resolve for suspending the ope
ration Of the act of this session for amend
ing the Revolutionary Pension Law, has
passed the House of Representatives.
i The proviso added to the resolve on mo
ton of Mr.. Foot, authorizes the Presiden
to suspend the payment of the pension o
any pensioner who, in his opinion, is no
entitled to pension under the Law Of tn,
present session, and not under the origin
al law, as heretofore stated.

10th ult. They had visited Barton Isl
and, celebrated resort for pirates, landed
| rs men, who traversed the island, anc
then set fire to the house and woods, and
entirely consumed every thing on the
Island. They we're to proceed to other
places for the same purpose.
Ii is said that the death Of Tamaah-
maah, King Of the Sandwich Islands, bias
occasioned SO much dissension among his
successors and officers, as to threaten a
revolution and civil war. The old King
left upwards of $4,000 il specie. The
death of this venerable Indian Prince, at
the present time, is a cause Of serious re-
greet among the friends of christianity 10
this community. He was very favorably
disposed towards the propagation of chris
tianity among his subjects, and their con-
sequent civilization; and last fall, ii will
be recoIiected, an interesting Mission
family, from New York, Connecticut aud
Massachusetts, sailed from Boston for
Owhyhee, accompanied by several ma
tiyes who have been educated at the Corn
wall School, in Connecticut. The favor
and protection of Tamaahmaah, was much
calculated upon: and should domestic
troubles break out, before, or soon after
their arrival, it would probably not only
Illustrate their beneficent objects, but en-
danger their personal safety. We have
the consolation however, that God is eve
ry-where presently. Y. Spec.

remind their owners, that the act passed BY our
Legislature last winter, has no provision 10 it for
the enlargement of the limits OF hogs-and pleasing
the sight may be to them strolling about our

it is unlawful, they may be under the necessity of
