vote; bu, in every other respect, are
upon the same footing as the Nepresen-

President of the United states, presides
over the Senate. At the opening OF the
session, Speaker of the House Of
Representatives viii be chosen. Dir.
Clay, late Speaker, it viii be recoliec-
ted, now fills the office of Secretary OF
State. A variety of candidates Tor this
Office are named in distant papersi but
we incline TO believe, that alter the hrst
ballot, the choice will be narrowed
down between Mr.. McLane, ot Della
ware, and BAR. j. W. Taylor, If New
York; both distinguished, intelligent,
and able Representatives. How far
political views will decide the question,
we are unable to conjecture, and do not
mean, in this place, to offer any specu-
latiye ideas Oh the topic whilst public
opinion is so nicely balanced on the
merits of these two candidates. AZ the
Senate never expires, the secretary Of
that body has hitberto been permanent
in his post. Charles Cuts, Esq. at pre-
sent occupies the place aiasihew st.
Clair Cha rke, Esq. is the actual Clerk
of the House; but at the commence
m.nt of every new Congress an cleo
ton Of that officer takes place. A

tent incumDent,--N Mich DIR Clarke has
proved himself to be, by bis intelligence

4 quorum will no doubt be formed
in tue House on Monday; for al the

assures us that sufficient number Tor
that purpose have already reached the

Extract of letter from Commodore
join Rodgers, to The Secretary VI The
Nary, dated,
Z. S. sHip, NORTH CAROLINA,
Gibraltar Bay, e2d Oct. 1925.
'SiR:--l wrote you from Smyrna, on
the seth of August, by the brig CLee'
ub of Boston, informing you of the
| movements of the squadron up TO that
date. At that time, there was some
cause for alarm, on account OF the pre-
yalencs OF tie bowel complaint, with
which many of the officers and men of
! the shie were afflicted; but By the ear
ly and judicious applications, aid the
! uDremitting attentions OF tue medical
officers, the virulence of tue disease
was soon arrested. In addition to this,
there have been some cases of fever ON
board each ship, by which the service
has lost valuable young officer IN Mid
shipman Pleasanton, who was, at tue
time of his death, attached 10 the Etie
and r. Adam afshall, the school-mas
ter Of this ship, whose exemplary de-
porsmen, had gained mm the esteem of
all who knew him. The officers aud
crews OF the several vessels vi the
squadron are again, very generally, IN
the enjoy ment OF good h'aith; and ths
returns herewith sent you will show
that, although there might have been
cause for alarm at one time, the propos~
tons of deaths Tor the last six months,
considering the number OF men, aud
season oil the year, has been very
small.o
We received by mail last evening
from our espondent in Portsmouth,
OR. l. the following almost incredible
account. The source from which u IL
communicated is entitled TO entire cree
dit.-R L. Gazette.
MURDER AND SUICIDE.
In Portsmouth, OH the afternooa of
the Esd ultilno. were found by Araold
Pearse, while setting bis boat along
shore, the bodies OF woman and two
girls, apparently { about IS, s, and 5
years oil age. 1t appeared By evidence
given the jury, that the deceased had
been in the water about an hour when
discovered, that they were tracked to
the waters edge, that their outside gar
ments were dry on the shore, aad that
therewer ere evident marks of struggle
ON the shore opposite where they were
found, and other circumstances, ,he Ju-
ny had no doubt that the two girls were
drowned by the woman, who afterwards
drowned herself. The woman proved
to be Ann La~ton, daughter OF George
Brownell aud wife of John Lawton,
absent, and in parts unknown, all Of
Portsmouth Ii is believed that the ell
dest girl was her daughter, and the
youngest her neiee, whom she had TAX
. en- under her care on the death of ths
child's mother, and that their needy
condition urged the unhappy woman to
commit the horrid acts 1t is to be
hoped that this is the only case OF a
person, who has sustained a moral cha
rac,er, in this State, SO destitute of pro-
perry and real friends, as to be induced
! to resort to such extreme means OF es-
Gaping distress.
