Judge Tan .Nsss.-The committee chosen by
the House of Assembly OF New-York, to enquire
into the conduct of Judge VAN Mss, of the So
preme Court OF that state, have reported with
one dissenting voice, that there is nothing in
his ofie ial conduct that required the nterposi-
ton of the constitutional power OF that house,

Judge member OF the council Of appoint
ment had received a sum OF money from the pk-
titioners for the Rank of America in New York,
10 give his sanction to that Incorporation. After
a months investigation by large and respecta-

We have hastily run over pamphlet lately
published al brunswick, in this State, purporting
TO be description Of that place, by - gentle
from South Coroina." The information Is
conveyed in series Of letters, written IN truth,
by citizen ofthat respectable town. The style
is rambling aud desultory, but the work presents
with some new and interesting facts. The
subject was however capable OF much higher in
teres, and more extensive usefulness, IL the au.
thor had by little more industry presented
an historical detail Of the origin and growth
of the place, and of the valuable institutions
which il contains. This was the most important
part Of his task, and would have given to his eff
forts much greater value. Many historical
anecdotes of the settlement and progress OF our |
older towns, are gradually and sieatly dying |
away, with the aged repositories by whom alone
they may have been preserved any person
therefore who has the industry and fidelity to
sieze upon, aud embody them, before they are |
gone forever, certainly is deserving Of public
regard. ON this account therefore, the present
work is entitled to credit, aud can only |
regret that the ample materials which brunswick |
must have afforded for pleasing and useful dis
cripton, have not been wrought into more fin
isned and satisfactory production which should
give an history ofthe first settlement Of the town,
its troubles with the lndians-for all our first
settlements experienced them and other anec
dotes which might illustrate the difficulties that
our ancestors met in the wilderness and the fear
lessness, with which they encountered them.
The epistolary style is very well sustained
throughout this pamphlet.
