MR.. RANDOLPH'S "SIX HOURS SPEECH"
ssT,o the Editor of the NorfoK Herald

"WAsHIseToN, April 20, ('rhursday.)
'sIrcturned last evening about O'Clock from
the Senate Chamber, after having listened four
hours to rodomontade Of Mr.. RANDOLPH,
made up of vulgar abuse, low anecdote, indeli-
cate illusions, and Latin and French quotations.
Boarding schools-m -dancing-puddings
-shirts-extacies of wedding night-bache-
lors children-and other mems wives, each in
turn received his notice. Of the Secretary OF
State he spoke cautiously; not so, however, OF
the Secretary Of the Treasury, whom he termed
ga te-washed federalist," and the Secretary
of the Navy, whom he called with sheer, "a
school master" Decency, he said, prevented
his speaking Of the Secretary Of War, because
he was Virginian. Dr. Rush, he asserted
was one Of clan which had combined against
Washington, and who was rewarded for il by
being made Director of the Mint. MIR. New
ton, Of Norfolk, more particularly ELECTED his
ire; on him, indeed, he vented his spleen with
all the malignity of fend; thanking God that
he was the only recreant in Congress from Vir-
ginia He hoped, he SAID, the climate OF Pa
mama would give good account Of those who
should be sent there, although person coming
from Philadelphia ought to be yellow fever

Penn was So years old when he first landed.

From the report Of the case of Tayloe, charg-
ed with the murder Of Crandall in New York,
j, appears to have been strictly in self defence,
and it is stated, that the verdict was mere
compromise, and had not the pardon prevented
arraignment for sentence, it would have been
set aside.
GAS TO Tayoe's character, it was proven to
be most unexceptionable; that he was uncom-
monty amiabe and gentleman-like; that he bad
never been known TO be angry, on any occasion
before, while at the academy. In regard to the
melancholy occurrence, it was also proven to
have been provoked by the unfortunate Gran
dali, an athletic young man of ls or more, who
courted conflict with two little boys, and in
vited them to bring on the whole academy, and
he could whip them all. Young Tayloe was
called to their assistance; took no part in the
ARRAY till several were severely beaten; when
little Van Buren, was assailed by him, armed
with club, having also wrenched powerful
cane from Van Buren,, then Tayloe unluckily
went to his assistance, offered no blow; but was
violently assaulted by the young countryman,
who held him by the collar and gave him seve-
raj severe blows with the club or cane; defence
less, unable to escape or to resist, he made the
unfortunate appeal TO the knife in his pocket"

The Bucks County Patriot contains letter
from SAMUEL PREsroN of Stockport, which
gives many interesting particulars relative TO
the founder Of this commonwealth. MIR. Pres
ton states that his grandmother, upwards OF
100 years old when she died in IVA, often re-
lated that she had seen William Penn first land
near, or where Philadelphia now stands There
were great guns on the ship: they fired, and
all the settlement at the mouth of Neshamony,
Indians and all, went to meet the Governor
She was then Of age and strength to travel that
distance, say 10 miles, through the woods
She used TO say that as the ship came up, the
mast struck the trees at Swede's Hill, (the pre-
sent Navy Yard y that the white people had
prepared the best entertainment they could, for
the Governor and family; the Indians had done
the same. Both invited them. William Penn
walked with the Indians; sat down with them
on the ground, and ate with them roasted
Acorns and Hominy: that pleased them SO
that they began to show how they could hop
and Jump. She said William Penn stepped
up and beat them ALL. Such wise complaisance
won and secured their friendship and affection
for William Penn during his life.

TO MY MOTHER.
What shall bear thee, mother dear.
When thy embrace again greet
And feel upon my cheek the tear
That flows when child and parent meet
What shall bear thee Wealth and fame,
Or gems that grow beneath the wave
Gold have not; and Glory's flame
Hath seldom shone but on the grave!
Nor wealth, nor fame, nor gems to thee,
My mother, will thy offspring bear;
Mean such reward indeed would be,
For all thy love-for all thy care.
But shall bear to thy kind breast,
What heaven nor thee will e'er reject;
wasted form-pale sorrows guest
A broken eart-a spirit wrecked.

RORING FOR WAFER.

Ne,v Brunswick, 9prH 26 1t is but justice to
Mr.. Disbrow to state, that the account given in
our last, Of his success in obtaining water OIL the
farm of Mr. John H. Bostwick, and the quanti-
ty discharged per minute, was previous to The
aperture being tubed. Since our last publica-
ton Mr.. D. has inserted copper tube, and the
amount of water now flowing per minute is con-
siderable more.
We accompanied Mr.. D. to Mr.. Bostwick's
on Monday morning, and found the water rose
six feet, being the length of the tube above
ground, and the quantity Of water discharged at
that height about one gallon and half per mi
mute, and at the distance of two feet, about
three gallons. We found by experiment, that
the water would rise higher, were the tube ex-
tended. The water is of good quality-and
so we'll satisfied is Mr.. Bostwick with his sup
ply, that he has contracted to furnish water to
one of his neighbors, from the same fountain.
MIR. Bostwick was the first to engage in this
enterprise, notwithstanding public opinion was
against him, and with Mr.. Disbrow is entitled
to the thanks Of the community, for bringing
into successful operation so important disco
yerv. Times.
A lady asked gentleman the time of the
day. He said he kept no watch, and that in the
morning Chantcleer was his timepiece, 81 did

From the Boston fGtrt0l.
Il seems that certain high officer at Wash
ington is at length reused up from his slumber
and awake to some Of the consequences OF his
inertness, and begins to talk of the rules OF de-
corum. If we allow Nj. c. to have but COM
mon share of understanding and an ordinary
portion of political sagacity, we cannot but be
surprised at the course of his conduct. The
passion of McDufie may blind his eyes, and
the added state Of RS brain may account for
any of his absurdities; but we IN New-England
expected better things from Mr.. c. To shew
that he was favorite in this quarter OF the
Unioniwe may observe, that it has been thought
that John c. Calhoun appeared TO be Yankee
in his manners, aspect and ordinary habits
In one word, he was favorite with New-Ens-
land gentlemen. But whether we have been
mistaken, or whether evil communications have
corrupted good manners, we know not; but 1t
is certain that that gentleman has not increased
his reputation during the present session OF the
Senate. This idea produces sorrow, and not
anger. A considerate and generous people ra-
Their repine at than resent line OF conduct that
savors of an opposition, seeing the views OF the
present opposition cannot be bottomed on pa
trioi;sm, but founded on restless ambition. 1t
is very common mistake in judgment, and a
very dangerous one in conduct, first 10 look tor
nothing in the argument proposed to us, Blu,

measure the truth of his argument by the mo-
tive we have assigned to him. JUNlUS.

fact to which may be probably attributed much

The greatest slanderers are neither
