GTFRANKLIN HOUSE. Mr.. Hodges, the
keeper of the Franklin House, on Monday
served up in his usual style, fine fresh Salmon
weighing twenty one pounds, which was feast
ed upon with avidity by the gourmands Of the
town, particularly by the gentlemen Of the
press, who gratiied their appctites. Capt.
Jones Of the Patriot was in extacics; tho editor
Of the Journal was peculiarly edited and graft
fled, and we are certain that the editor Of the
E" Moral american and Pious Gazette" !"
would have been delighted had he attended,
But some evil minded person informed him
that there would be Gin on the table, " at
the which," he threw down his last letter from
Santiago, and swore by the big toe Of St. DOM
inic he would not attend, if Barber's Best"
and the " Wesup," were not removed from the
board. His wishes were not gratiiied, and as
he is as much opposed to " Gin," a" "a certain
Lord'' was to villainous saltpetre, the table
was not honoured with the presence ofso dis
tinguished an individual.
In Justice to Mr.. Hodges, the lessee and
keeper oft Franklin House, il is necessary
TO remark, that since ho has had the supern-
tendance Of that establishment, he has sus-
tanned the high reputation acquired for il by
MI. Blake. He is unwearied in his attentions
10 his patrons, and spares neither pains or ex-
pense, to CRAFTY those who extend to him their
patronage.

This young clergyman, formerly advantageous

pulpit Orator, some two years since migrated
to Georgetown, South-C Carolina, and undertook
the pastoral care Of the first Baptist Church in
that town. BY the winyaw Intclligenccr, Of
the 9th instant, we perceive that Mr.. Ludlow,

From what we know Of Mr.. Ludlow, we are
satisfied that he did justice 70 the subject, and
acquired fresh laurels for himself lie pos

greatest fault, if indeed he have any faults,
consists in his giving too wide a scope 10 his

THn COMMITTEES, appointed by the citi-
zens of Nashville, Tennessee, to investigate the
charges recently preferred against General
Jackson, have made report, which to say the
least of it, is very sorry apology for the past
conduct oftbe General. 1t has been put into
our possession; we have read it with atten-
ton, and we are sorry to state, that it is mis-
cradle apology for the conduct of the General.
Contrary to our expectations, il valves the
discussion of the charge Of the Generals hav-
ing taken, and carried away tho wife Of Lewis
Roberts, for, although we were well salts
fed, that the odium incurred by him in that in
famous transa ction, could not be obliterated,
we were nevertheless ofopinion, that the Com
mittee would at least make an effort TO get up
something to explain it away. Finding tha,
this could not be done. they have Left the Gen.
eral in sad dlemma;--just where they found
him, the open and unblushing destroyer OF
mans happiness, and the seducer of female in
nocence.
The report, such ss II is, Is written. TO wipe
a foul stain from his reputation, indelibly i'm
printed upon il by his cruelty and inhuman nifty
in executing six militia men, in the year 1914
who were found guilty Of mufiny by Cour
Martial; and sentenced to b.. Shot, which sen

00o- THE ARcADE.--On Saturday last, the
Arcade Company commenced operations, by
removing the buildings which have heretofore
occupied the land, on which the structure is to
be erected. Ample preparations have been
made to execute the whole work, and it is said
that the building will be completed early in
October, and will then be ready to receive ten
ants. We have been permitted to examine the
several plans which have been furnished by the
artists, who are engaged to erect the Arcade.
Two of them are original, and two arc copies,
taken from the Arcades recently built in New
York and Philadelphia; and although we are
not the best judges in the world in these mat
ters, stih We are Of opinion, that the original
plans, drawn by an enterprising and intelligent
mechanic of the town, Mr.. Bucklin, are decd-
ly superior; and they should have the prefer
cncc, if we had the power Of deciding.

notw twithstanding II was In evidence, that the
misguidcd men. were acting under false i'm
pressicns, and supposed themselves to be be-
yond the control Of the commanding gene
raj. and believed that their term Of service had
expired. Amorc wsnton and cold blooded act
ofbarbarity, was never perpetrated by Han
nibal or Cortcz than this; and the report of
the Committee, SO far from excupating the
General. proves his guilt in aggravated COL

in this days paper, but our limits will not

a report. which will only tend to render the
Yennessean candidate odous to every man of
reflection. and TO all who regard the laws of
christianity and humanity.

LATEST FROM EUROPE
Last evening the ship Milton, Captain Webb,
arrived at this port from Liverpool, bringing
our regular files of London papers TO the even

Master Generalship Of the Ordnance, and des-
patches have been sent TO the Duke of Cam

The new appointments are not vet arranged,
but the Solictor-Gcneral Sir N. G. Tindal; has
istration.
All the members of the old Cabinet have re-
signed, except Mr. Canning, the Earl of Har-
rowby, Mr.. Robinson, Mr.. Wynn, and Mr..
Huskinson.
No successor for Mr. Peel was spoken ofwith
any confidence. There was some expectation
that he would be induced to resume his situa-
ton.
The members who had resigned were all
those who had usually voted against the Cath
olic claims, besides Lord Melville, who usually
voted for them.
The following arrangements were under con-
slderation, or had actually taken place: Duke
OF Clarence, Lord High Admiral; Right Hon
George Canning, First Lord of the Treasury.

Or Hon. John Williams, of Tennessee.-
This gentleman, who resided two years at Qua
tamala, as American Charge d. Affaircs, is an
nounced candidate for the Senate Of Tennes-
see. Mr.. Williams is gentleman of respccta-
bic talents; but as he accepted of an office
under the present Administration. it is proba-
BILE his election will be warmly contested. Al
though he is favourable to the election of Gen.
eral JACKSON to the Presidency, he does not go
at. all lengths with the advocates of the Mil
trry Chieitain, and may be ranked among
the fair and honorable politicians of the day;
if, indeed, any such personages exist.

fancy, and in too often indulgng in wild and
extrassgant metaphors. This will, however,
be corrected by little experience, and a
greater familiarity with the duties of the pull

been much improved, since he has resided at
the'south, and we hope it will ultimately be
completely restored. These remarks would
not have been called from us, had it not been
for the odd name Of the Society he addressed;
and wo should as soon think of having an ad-
dress delivered before Goldfish Society, as to
hear of one being delivered before an assoeia-
ton, got up to promote the culture of Indigo
In the account before us, it is stated that after
the delivery of the sermon, the multitude sat
down to a sumptuous repast, provided by Mr..
Lester, and that the festivities Of the day were
closed with splendid ball. There is some
thing odd in the name of the Society, and
something still more odd in the manner, in
which its anniversary is celebrated.

LIrERARY.--Frederiek s. Hill, Esq. the
editor Of the Boston Lyceum, author of the
Harvest Festival, &c. is preparing for the
press, a national work, to be entitled "Speci-
mons Of American Poetry, with Critical and
Biographical Notices." which will be put to
press in the course of the ensuing season. The
object MIR. Hill has in view, is highly praise
worthy, and is to rescue from oblivion the
names Of those American writer's, who have
contributed to tho advancement of American
Literature. In his circular he offers the fol-
lowing very judcious and opposite remarks,
which will. we think, meet the appreciation of
the public:
"It is a matter Of surprise, as we'll as of
regret, that an undertaking Of this nature has
not before been commenced. The materials
for the work afford an abundant supply of the
rich and the beautiful and with moderate
industry in collecting the scattered cmanations
Of powerful minds; with care in removing what
is valuable from the rubbish by which it is en-
numbered, together with taste in making such
selections as will display the chara cterstics of
American poetry in its progressive stages of i'm
provcment, 1T is believed that work may be
brought out, which, at least, will not dishonor
our press. The advances of literature in other
countries, have always been attended by some
cxertions to rescue the efforts Of native genius
from oblivion. giving in this way, some cncour-
agemcnt for the continuation Of those Efforts
but with us there has been an absorbing inter-
est in the cultivation of exotics, accompanied
by whitening neglect Of our own productions,
and chilling indifference with regard to the
condition Of our own literature, which continual
ly tend TO repress 'the upspringing of the tender
shoot 1t seems to us a stain upon our char
acter as a nation, that we hardly know the
names of the gifted spirits that have been born
and nurturcd IN the midst ofus, and we know
no good reason why we should not strive TO
wipe away the blot from orr escutchcon. On
the contrary we do believe that every circum-
stance connected with tho growth Of our liter
atnre, should excite us 10 the good work of
proving what we can do, by showing what we
hare done"
This undertaking. is certainly one OF some
consequence to this country, and we cannot
but hope that the Editor will meet with
success. In carrying his plan into execution.
Mr.. Hill solicits the contributions ofthose who
are acquainted with the history Of American
writers, and if any Of our citizens can furnish
him with materials, to enable him to write BIZ
ographical sketches Of any Of the writers
Rhode Island mas produced, they are respect
fully invited to forward them TO Mr.. Hill, or
leave them at this office, and they will be i'm
mediatciy transmitted to that gentleman.
We are satisfied that Mr.. Hill, will find him
self encouraged in carrying into execution
project which will at once rescue from the ap-
preaching grasp Of oblivion many name ,doar
to the lovers of poesy and song, who have too
long been neglected. if not forgotten.
