AS every thing relating TO navigation,
IS interesting to this commercial country,
and as the most important discoveries
have been made from accidental circum.
stances, we publish the following fact.
and leave il for wiser heads than ours to
comment thereon. A coasting vessel,
sonrr time since, sailed from this port for
New York, with quantity of cast iron
ware on deck. In consequence of the
attraction OF the magnetic needle, the yes.
Sci came near being run ashore. BY &C.
cident the compass was placed in an iron
pot. Thus surrounded by iron, it vas
found TO be completely restored to its
t-ue direction.

A paragraph is circulating in most ofthe news
papers throughout the Union, purportng to be
an extract of a letter from Washington, and i'm
porting that the Russian Imperial Ukase Of 4-16
of September, 1921, had been revoked. This
statement is not correct. We understand that,
at the proposal Of his Imperial Majesty's govern
mcnt, recently made, the minister Of the United
States at st. Petersburg, will be furnished with
powers and instructions 10 confer with the Rus
sian Cabinet for the adjustment, 10 the satisfac-
ton Of all parties, Of their conflicting claims in
relation to the northwest coast of America: and
from the well known moderation and regard to
justice of the Emperor Alexander, no less than
from the friendly dispositions toward the United
States, SO long and 50 constantly manifested by
him, there is reason 10 expect that this adjust
ment will be accomplished in manner satsfac-
tory to him, and, at the same time, consistent
with all the rights of this nation. In the mean
time, it is believed that the commanders Of the
Russian armed vessels upon that coast have re-
ceIved orders, which will o5viate any further
immediate collision with the commerce and nav
igation Of the United States in the Pacific Ocean.
Upwards of II 900 barrels Of -four arrived at
Utica, during the first four days of canal navi-
CATION of this season and 10 400 barrels of flour
were shipped on the canal from the village OF
Rochester, during ten days.

COUNTERFEITERS.

Ann Carson, the noted parsonage for whose
dear sake her husband, Capt. Carson, was muir
dered in Philadelphia few years since, by a
certain Licut Richard Smyth, TO whom she had
been married during the absence Of the Captain,
on a long voyage, which brought the Lieut.. to
the gallows, has recently been committed to pris-
on ia Phia ephia, together with number Of
other persons, on the charges of a conspiracy
and the passing of counterfeit notes on Stephen
Girard's Bank, Of that city. The Democratic
Press has furnished a statement of the partcu-
lars attending their examination before the
Mayor, from which it appears that one of the
concern had turned states evidence, and divul-
ged the plot and betrayed her partners. II APP
pears also that Ann acted as her own Attorney,
and so noisy and impudent was she that in order
to compel her to observe some degree Of propri-
ETY., the Mayor was compelled 10 threaten to gag
her, if she did not keep silent. In putting ques-
ton to the witness 1t was asked If she did not
take the bootle with her, which il seems is slang
word for bundle Of forged notes. Here, it IS
said Ann laughed, and said to the Mayor, :"
see your honor is up 10 the stang" In the course
of the examination it was stated that the money
was purchased at the rate of 500 for 20 il good
money.
The persons committed are Ann Carson, alias

CHESTER, (tenn June u.
Passed through Chester, the 18th of June,
two negroes, in chains, accompanied by two or
three white men. 1t was understood that they
were slaves, and were taken somewhere To the
north. As stood and looked at the poor fell

jected countenances, aud observing the surly au-
lucrative tone and manner of their masters or
overseers, driving them about Ike beasts oi
burden, the simple question that presented itself
was, by aohGt right 10 these gCiite hold their
.te!lotc men IN perpetual bondage whence is
their right derived '-guilty only Of skin not
coloured like their own-and for this ICortty Of
fence, 4 they chain them, and task them, and
exact their sweat with stripes, that mercy with
bleeding heart, weeps when she sees inflicted
on beast" disguise myself as thou wilt,
still slavery thou art bitter draught :" not a
ray Of hope ilIumes thy daTllened front. What
ever way thou art beheld, nothing but woe and
pain aud cruel stripes present. If we look for
ward, dark glooInv prospect OF woe-worn
wretchedness opens on the view, and renders the
present MISUNDERSTANDING misery--no hope
of better days--all is sad aud melancholy.
