SENATORIAL ELECTIoN.-We believe that the
excitement that was felt for few days in this town,
originating in the political disclosures Of Mr.. f.
II. Potter, has entirely subsided. The excite
ment did not gain existence in belief of the charges
preferred by Mr.. Potter; but in the circumstance
that any man, holding respectable place in
ty, should descend to the miserable business of lam
pooning rival, through the medium of the news
papers. Whatever might have been the calcula-
tions of Of Mr. Porter, we undertake 10 say, thai
they have been completely defeated; and that he
has succeeded in doing nothing, but to lessen the
weight OF character, he might have, at one time.
sustained
The public mind is tranquil in this quarter, and
we venture but little, when we predict that MIR.
ROBBINS will be reelected by large, if not an
unanimous vote. II is to he regretted that some ol
our neighbors, who, at the onset, claimed them
selves the copy right of the election, should have
ingoriously fed, because Mr. Potter uttered n
few blasts from /" his political scoot horn.'

MOLLY WARD.--A filthy old hag, known by the
name of MOLLY WARD, who is in the habi; of rowing
around our streets and of entering any mans house,
at any time, and just hen she pleases to do so, has,
for the last ten days, honored us with visit. Her
appearance is enough frigh,en the very Olo Nick
himsef--she is the very Hecatc of the DAY, and
ought TO be pu. where she will keep her nose out
of other peoples business, and be far from the OBJ
scry alton of decent society.
A few morning, since, gentleman was awaken
ed by strange noise in part of his house, and
jumping up to ascertain from whence it proceeded
found the amiable Goody WARD, busily employed
in slowing under her dirty wardrobe, the contents
of his lardcr, such as mullins crumpets, pies, pan
cakes, heefsteuh, and apple -dump!ins. On being
asked what she about she replied, she was only
setting things to rights in the closet. The larder
was literally robbed Of its contents and the gentle
man, not disposed to take back the "eatsbiS,'
suffered her to clear out" without requiring her
to discharge her cargo In few moments. howev-
er he discovered that two three silver Spoons
were missing but as he was not prepared to exa-
mine Mrs. Ward, he employed one of the "gem-
men, that lounge around the fsh-narket, to under
take the business. The fellow, who was equally as
wretched as the old Hecate, commenced operations,
by divesting her of certain proportion oi her gar
ncnts, when out popped the spoons. Mrs. Ward
mence against such act Of "ungallantry," and
vowed, that in her first husbands days, she would
not have been thus treated.

-MYsTERIoUs-Af few nights since, reputable
lady. who resided in the family of respectable
gentleman in this town, in the capacity Of house
keeper, suddenly disappeared, under circumstances
at once painful and mysterious. Nothing unusual
was discovered in her department, at any time pre-
vious to her disappearance, nor was it known that
she was absent, till letter was found on the
table, addressed to one Of the family, wherein she
stated, that she had departed to drown herself and
gave some directions relative TO her funeral Since
then, she has not been heard of, and the prevailing
opinion is, that she threw herself into the river,
and was drowned. At present we forbear mention
ing her name, as it is possible she has not commit
ted the rash act which she susp ected, and may
be yet living, and wandering around the ord, in
state of mental alienation. Every method has been
resorted to- to recover her body, but without effect
Fishermen and others who are in the habit OF fire.
auenting the waters Of our river and bay, are
quested to look Cor the body Of the unfortunate
suicide.
We regret to say, that the mystery which sur
rounds this affair has given rise to much useless
and ridiculous speculation, which, if circulated,
cannot fail to poison the happiness of some ofahe
respectable and worthy individuals, who have by
this ady's exit, been pierced to the heart. Let
those who TOO fond of gossip, be careful, on
occasions like the present, that they DO not mar the
happiness of those who never offended, and who, in
the hour, of their aliction, arenot proper subjects
for scandal; but, on the contrary, deserve The
misscraton of a sympathetic public.

MARRIAGES IN FRANcE.-We have noticed
with disgust, an obscene and offensive article, which
has been generally published in the American news
papers, and recently found its way into paper
printed in thi. town. which has, hitherto, placed no
small stress on its character for dignity and chastity.
The artclsalluded to, goes on to say that woman,
or rather woman broker, in some part Of the city
Of Paris has advertised to be sold To be le in
matrimonial way, given number Of beautiful
girls. They may arrange their matrimonial affairs
in France, just as they pleasethey may dispose of
their lusses at auction If they choose, but VIC shall
indulge hope, that the Americans, will never fol-
low their example. Frenchman may stuff his
under jacket with toads and beef shank soup;
scotchman may surfeit himself with his bar
Icy broth; a Russian may feast on picked this.

five thought the object of those who publish
such articles the one alluded to- was TO establish
market for the disposal ofpretty girls. in the same
way that an oyster woman disroses of her goods
and if we thought they expected to be sanctioned
by the ladies, should tell them, sirs you will find
yourselves egregiously mistaken.
Thank heaven in thf country, we have not been
reduced to the sad necessity of resortng to pub
lie market to dispose of our fair ones. They are
always in such demand, that one half of our sex
cannot possess them. Ifthey ever become so dog
cheap. as to be put up and exposed for sale, to-
gether with an assortment of broad axes spades and
frying pans, we hope our career will have been
closed, and the grave upon us,f

THE CIRCUs.-This establishment wa. closed on
Wednesday evening last, after a most successful
campaign. Such was the intense curiosity OF the
people 10 witness the pc formances the last week
that the building was filled to overfowing, almost
as soon as opened and hundreds were denied ad-
mittance. The estabshm ent was most judicously
conducted, ard the performers, without solitary
exception, acquitted themselves to the entire admi-
ration of those who witnessed their extraordinary
feats.
At the commencement Of the campaign, j. was
doubted by many whether the CircIs would be
popular, or attended by the fashionables, but all
those doubts were dissipated; and we do not re-
collect Of ever beholdng more fashionable
diences than those that attended the last five
nights.
Much regret was expressed by The public, when
the company departed, and overtures were made
to them to remain week or two longer, which
they were compelled to decline, positive en-.
gagements called them to Kingston. Jamaica.
We understand that the managers OF the Compa-
ny are making arrangements TO erect, as speedily
as possible, an extensive Circus, of brick, with
stage attached to it, for the purpose OF getting up
melo- drama pieces, which will be completed in the
Spring, and be ready for the company on their re-
turn from Jamaica. We wish them much success,
whilst absent, and shall be glad to welcome them'
Oh their return.

WHIPPING FAIR.-Yesterday, the citizens of
Providence, such thought proper do SO, witness
ed Rhode Island semi annual whipping Far,
much to their edifcaton, and probably 20 their
amendment. The spectacle was not novel one,
but as the culprts who were scourged were some
what famous in the annals of infamy and crime, it
was rendered peculiarly Interesting, to those who
are fond Of such harmless sports. The culprlts
were taken 10 public whipping post in the vicni-
ty of the Jail, amidst dense population, stripped
to the bare back, and received the number of LASH
es ordered by the Court. One Of them, we learn,
received thirty nine.
Such spectacles as these are disgraceful to the
State; they reflect no credit on the community
where they are presented, and we cannot but hope,
that the odious law that sanctions them will be ex-
plunged from the statute book. If the object Of
punishment be reformation, it is lost when tho Of
fender is taken before the public, and there expos
ed to the indignties of the mob he returns TO the
world, covered with infamy; bis hopes are for
ever blasted; like Cain, he around the world
bearing an accursed mark; he abandons himself to
all the vices and crimes that known in the an
nails of vlainy, and he who, for one false step was
publicly castisated, and who might have been re-
stored to the paths of virtue aud of honor, if the
heavy hand Of an unrighteous law had not fallen
upon him, is lost, and left to practise all the depra-
vIty mans heart Gun conceive.
Our criminal code is most sadly defective as i
stands it is disgraceiul to us, and has an operation
quite contrary to what contemplated by its
dunderheaded trainers, and is only calculated to
increase vainy and crime. We hope, for the cre-
dit Of Providence and the State, that another Fair
will never again be witnessed in our streets.
Besides all the other objections that can be urg
ed against publc whipping il is repugnant to deli
cacy-t is offensive to the morals Of the people
Two or three times year, We behold criminals
taken to the most public place, and there exposed,
naked, to female modosty, and thus an offence,
much more aggravated than the crime Of the cul-
prit, is perpetrated upon morality and decency;
an offence, which, If committed by any individual,
he would be condemned to severe Imprisonment.
