The very phrase
Was oft repeated by the parting voice
OF youthful friendship; and the last farewell

MES John FL. Hopkins and B. Craig,
Esq's. were arraigned at the bar in
Pittsburg. for contempt Of court. and
fined $50 each. On the Saturday
preceding. they were engaged on the
opposite SIDE of cause, wherein the
matter at issue between their clients a.
mounted to one dollar and fifty cents,
before an adjourned court of common
pleas-judge Wilkins presiding. Craig
accused Hopkins of having made false
representation to the court-which was
denied, and re. asserted: when the latter
called the former liar-whereupoD
Craig jumped on him aDd gave him a

"Who made yow, sir ?''-To carry the

Preparations were making tor that event

For the first purpose subscriptions were

&c.--and tor the second government had
already borrowed 100000 inrs. from the

short time.
Eight thousand troops had already been
raised in aud about the city OF Rio, and
government was impressing constantly TO
increase the number.
Two vessels of war were itting OUT, and
all the exposed points on the coast were
about to be fortified.
All persons whether Europeans or ma
