.An ertraordiary equihage-Among the
crowds of peasants and others who flocked to
Camden Town, to witness the ascension of
Mr.. Rossiter in his balloon was that of men
dicant without legs, who moved in sort Of
sledge with four wheels, drawn by two dogs
harnesed and decorated with bows Of blue and
white ribbon. They dashed along with his
vehicle with all the regularity of a curricle
pair. The novelty of the equipage produced
much mirth amongst the spectators and which
ever way he drove he was followed by a
strong retinue of the nobility. In passing
through the turnpike gate, the toll keeper
was half inclined to make him pay for four
weeled carriage; however he was suffered to
drive on, as thelmoney takers where in doubt
wethertheyhad any claim on equipages ofthis
extraordinary description.

day afternoon of last week, threw himself
from the top of the cliff at Mount Ida falls,
near Troy. 1t seems that in the morning,
instead of going to work he put on his best
apparel and went out. Somewhere between
10 and 1 o'clock, some boys discovering a
hat and coat on the cliff, were induced to ex-
anime further, and found the bruised and
broken man at the bottom Of the precipice,
there about 80 or 70 feet high. The boys
gave the alarm, and the miserable man was
brought in, life yet lingering in his shattered
frame: this was about IL o'clock. At about
one he expired, after having suffered great
pain.
He came from Long Island, where he left
his wife and three children. 1t is supposed
that he threw himself from the rock i'll a fit
of insanity produced by intoxication.

By the arrival Of the British ship Zephyr
at New York, London dates to the 18th July,
have been received. No very important in
formation is furnished by this arrival, save
that of the death of the King of the Sand
wich Islands, who made his earthly exit on
the 10th of July. Before his dissolution he
made it his earnest request that his remains,
together with those of his late beloved queen,
should be removed to his native Isle.
There appears to be a singular fatality at
tending several conspicuous foreigners who
have visited England this summer. The
Secilian Dwarf, who was so remarkable for
her Liliputian stature, was but short time
in the country before she died; next was the
Chinese Lady, so celebrated for her beauty,
who died few days after, then the Queen of
the Sa ndwich Islands, and now his Majesty
the King. The cause of their deaths must
be owing to the very great change of climate

The name OF the VencraDle LA L Af EII T.
seems to be in every ones mouth, and no.
thing is to be seen or read of, but the bril-
liant reception which this distinguished
national guest is receiving in his progress
through our country. Indeed, SO cnthusas-
tic are men, women, and children, that they
think there is peculiar virtue in the name,
and it is attached even to articles of ordinary
use consequently, Pies, Puddings and 'Tarts,
Boots Hats and Pantalets, are alike honor
ed with the name of La Fayette the ladies
too are partial to the name, and some say,
have applied it to their Corsetts; though this
we do not believe, for we think the .fair
would have more reverence and regard tor
the General than to intimate suspicion that
he used these perfdious machines, or even
to associate it with his name.
The following paragraphs will perhaps be
read with pleasure, and it may not be amiss
TO call them
LA FAYETTE ANECDOTES.
A gentleman travelling north, relates the
following in letter to friend
Feeling little disposed to joke with an old
lady at one of the turnpike gates, remark
cd-"Well, madam, suppose you are very
GLAD General La Fayette has come, as you
must have made oceans of money to-day at
the gate ?''-Thc old lady felt indignant at
the remark. "Sir,'' she replied, ''you must
know that the General and his friends
go through this gate free of toll; and ] should
like to have him pass a thousand un,eS!' ~
no. then your gates are free now! !'" Yes, re-
piled the Connecticut dame, without mo-
ment's hesitation "for such men as La Fay
cite, but not for those zcho come sc. far behind
him.'' This last remark quickly brought
York shilling out of my pocket for toll, and
you may well suppose, fastened TO get out
of herisight and the range of her wit.
A little Yankee urchin on the road, who
was running with all his might to reach the
next village in hopes of seeing the General,
stopped and enquired of me if the 11arkiss
La Favctte was going to dine there. Feeling
a little waggish at the moment, told hlm
that General La Fayette carried his dinner
in his nocket and that it was bread and cheese.
The little fellows eyes were as big as large
knot hole-'Ay!" said he. 81 guess ne aynt
poing to dine OH bread and cheese neither
we can give him something in our state oet,
ter than bread and cheese guess, Know.
sAnd on he pushed at his utmost speed.
When Genera La Fayctte was receiving
the congratulations of his fellowcitizens, with
his peculiar liberality, youth approached
him and taking him by the hand' ne eXclaim-

We were fearful that our distinguished
visiter La Fayettc as he passed through our
Borough would not be received with the
eclat he has met with in our sister states.
But it is satisfaction now to reflect as we
follow him in his march and hear the well
kin ring with the hearty gratu!ations of
grateful people, it will shortly be our salts
faction to welcome the hero to "uhe land
that gave Liberty birth"
We do not expect that much show or dis
play will be made by our citizcns-thcse do
not chord with their principles-but where
is the bosom that will not heavc, or where is
the heart that will not beat with gratitude,
while the hand grasps that of our country's
bcncfactor. La Fayettc will meet with as
hearty welcome as though he were escort
ed by thousands of troops.
Apartments, we understand, are about to
be fitted up at Wolf's Hotel, (the same house
in which he held his Head Quarters previous
to the Battle of Brandywinc,) for his recep-
tion, and we should be pleased if the dccora-
ting would be entrusted to the taste and
judgement of our patriotic Ladies, whom we
are satisfied will do justice to the underta-
king.

tence of Court Martial, for charges exhibited
against him by General Washington, at the bat
tie of Monmouth, June 90, 1878, but his pride
would not suffer him to resume his command at
the expiration of his sentence, Notwithstanding,
he was still retained on the list of general Off
GERS until his death which happened in Philadel-
phia in 1872. His funeral was attended by the
president of Congress and Members, French
Minister, and a vast number of the most respccta-
