the hill the following provision "And
tho sale Of the forty five townships and
fractional townships, which have been
surveyed in the Delaware district, shall
be suspended urtil the end of the next
session of Congress-"
This motion was negatived when
Mr.. Ruggles moved to strike out the
following proyiso:
Provided aIzcays, and it is hereby e.
nacted and declared, that nothing in
this act contained, or that shall be done
in pursuance thereof, shall be deemed
or construed to imply any obligation on
the part Of the United States to make
or to defray the expenses Of making,
the Canal hereby authorized to be laid
out.
And in lieu thereof to insert the fol-
loving:
!. Provided, That if the commission
crs aforesaid shall be of opinion that
a canal can be opened, and shall sur
vey and lay out the same, it is hereby
enacted and declared. that the addition.
q, sum for which the public lands shall
sell, above the minimum price fixed by
law, In lie two ranges through which
the same shall run, shall be, and is
hereby, appropriated for making the
said canal"
The amendment was supported by
the mover, on the ground that, if the
laying out the route of acanal shonld,as
was predicted, augment the value OF the
public lands in that quarter. and make
them bring greater price. it would be
in some sort an act of deception, at
least an unfair tax oil the purchasers,
not to proceed to the execution of the
canal, by applying to it the INCREASED
revenue from the sales. The motion
was also advocated by Mr. Lowrie.
The amendment was opposed by
Mr.. King of ". Y. because his views
in supporting this bill were altogether
natural, and rot for the particular be-
nett Of Ohio or any other section, how
ever much advantage that state might
derive from it incidentally. He wished
the question proposed by the amend
ment to be leftfor future decision. Mr..
I'rimblc opposed the amendment, be-
cause he feared it would put the bill
itself in Jeopardy. and spoke some time
against the motion.
The amendment was negatiyed by a
large majority only 4 or $ rising in
its favor.
The bill was then reported to the
Senate; and after some remarks ny
Mr.. Macon, in Opposition to the bill /;

From ths National Recorder.

4 lew months ago, farmer living lew
miles from Easton, (Pa.) sent his daughter
on horseback 10 that town, to procure LON
the bank smaller notes in exchange tor one
% one hundred dollars. When she arrived
there the bank was shut, and she endeavor-
ed TO effect her object by offering it at several
stores but could not get her note changed
sse had not gone far on her return, when
stranger rode up to the side of her horse and
accosted her with so much politeness that
she had not the slightest suspicion OF any eVi
intention on his part. After ride Of mile
or two, employed in very social conversa-
ton. they came TO retired part OF The road,
when the gentleman commanded her to give
him the bank note 1t was with some DIM
culty that she could be made TO believe him
in earnest, as his demeanoT had been so very
friendly but the presentation OF pistol
placed the matter beyond doubt, ana sue
Yielded to necessity. Just as she held the
note to him sudden puff OF wind blew II
into the road, and carried il jently several
Yards from them. The discourteous knight
al;ghted TO overtake it, and the lady whip
ped her horse TO get out of bis power, and
the other horse who had been left standing
nv her side, started off with her. His own
CIR fred his pistol, which only tended to IN
crease the speed of all parties, and the young
lady arrived safely at home with the horse OF
robler on which was pair OF saddle
bags. When these we're opened they were
found 10 contain, besides quantity OF coun-
,erreit bank notes, fifteen hundred dollars IN
good money! The horse was good one,
and when saddled and bridled, was thought
TO be worth at least as much as the bank note
that was stolen.

arrived there, reporting themselves 10 be
part Of the crew of the American ship Re

have struck on rock or reef. unknown on
the charts, some distance TO the eastward OF
the Marian Islands; that they were Obliged
to leave the ship Immediately, with two
boats, the capt. taking with him six, and the
other boat z men; that when night came on,
the captain gave them course to steer,
which be judged would bring them 10 one Of
the Marian Islands; the seas during the night
we're high; that on the morning they saw
nothing OF the captains boat, but proceeded
on their course, and after several days fell
in with one Of the Islands, where four of them
landed, the other three having persisted witt
fatigue. These are all the particulars we
have been able TO collect, which leaves US il
