a Distressing Case.-Henry Newbery, lad
of thirteen years, and Edward Chidley, aged
seventeen. were committed for trial, charged
with stealing silver teapot from the house of
K. IL. Cocks, Esq. Grosvenor-place.
There was nothing extraordinary in the case
itself, but il was made peculiarly interesting by
the unsopnsticated distress Of Newbery' 5 father.
The poor old man, who it seems has been a
soldier, and is now journeyman payiour, refu-
sed al first to believe that his son had committed
the crime imputed to him, and was very clam
orous against the witnesses-but as their evil
dence proceeded, he himself appeared to become
gradually convinced. He listened with intense
anxiety 10 the various details--hut when they

Considerable excitement exists at the present

SUBJECT Of the great number Of public defaulters.
Very large sums of money appear on the books
Of the treasury department TO be due TO the ma
ton and il would seem that 20 very e1icacious
measures have hitherto been pursued for their
collection. series of essays appeared in the
Course of the last year in Baltimore paper,
Mentioning great number of cases of this des-
cnption, and some of them of hagrant charac-
Ter. These publications excited no attention or
Curiosity as they first ppeared--speculation OF
ne kind had become rather matter of course
The amount of the apology was, that all govern
NETS have uniaitlsful agents, by whom their
mi aey is misapplied and not accounted for, that
we are no worse off in this respect than all 9TH
Or nations and therefore the subject is not worth
The trouble of enquiry or examination-that 1t
s 10 short sort of unavoidable evil that gov
ernments must be plundered, and the only way
: 70 submit with as good grace as may be.
The subject, however, appears TO have, at last,
made desperate impression upon the minds OF
members of the House of Representatives., and
some resolutions have been moved in that body,
wing immediate relation to a remedy in future
the mischief. The resolution by Mr.. Kirk

We scheme and introduce a much more numsr-
