STAGE DRIvERs.-We perceive. by the
Baltimore papers, that Mr.. James Abercrom-
bic, resident Of that city, some of whose
relatives were sadly injured, by the upsettng
of the Stage Coach, which accident evcntu-
ated in the death of tho venerated Bishop
Kemp, has undertaken to prosecute the pro-
pr;etors of the line Of Stages, whose drivers
are said to have been The authors Of the lament
ed calamity
1t is alleged by the prosecutor, that the
drivers were in state of inebrety at tho time
the accident took place, and although it is no;
impossible that such was the fact, we think
that before a general ban of prescription is
pronounced against them, the fact should be
asccrtaincd; and if they were nebriated, they
should be punished and not their proprictors, or
| rathcr employers, who are not account able for
tho moral alterations Of those they employ.
1t is too often the case, that whenever
| stage coach is upset, no matter, whether 1t be
amid the darkness Of midnight, or the violence
of the tempest, the occurrence ofthe calamity,
is at once charged TO the carclessncss and ine-
bricty Of the driver, when in fact, he made
every possible effort to avert the calamity
This is unfair-it is unjust; and should not be
admitted; for TO stage driver, good name.
and fair reputation, is as dear, as either of
| them are 10 any member Of society; and they
are with but few exceptions, as anxious TO pre-
serve both, as are others, who sustain more ell
evated places IN life.
The condition of this class Of people, has
been essentially improved, within few years,
and there are nov to be found among them,
many Of the most useful members of society.
Having known many from the nature Of our in
tercourse with them,w whilst travelling over vari-
Gus roads, we should be unmndful of our duty
if we did not bear witness to the proper ant
discreet conduct of those who are employed by
the several lines of stages, which run from this
town, and we do not hesitate to say, tha,
among all the drivers, employed by the Com
mcrcial, the Citizens, the Hartford, Middle
town, Springfield, Taunton, New Bedford ant
Worcester lines of Coaches, there cannot b,
found man Of Incorporate habits.
We make these observations, in justice to
class of people, who toll, almost necessarily il
behalf of the community, and who are too oft
en- i'll treated, and contemned, and that too
when they are deserving of the good will, ant
good wishes Of the community they so Jealous
ly serve.

MrssIbNAa1zs.-Ws have lately seen in the
newspa pers The amount Of donations for the
Foreign Missisnary Society, and are exultingly
told, that 500, Geo have been given for this pi-
Gus purpose within the year, and that one Of
our most liberal citizens, has given S25, COO 10
the Missionary fund. We are sorry for n--not
that we deny the right Of any man 10 ride his
own hobby, or to spend his money in any way
ho pfeases, but we consc entiously believe that
the results are not commensurate with the cost.
We have expenses, outfits, and annual salaries
for Missionaries with their wives and families
to India--io the Sandwich Islands, and the re-
mote quarters of the globe. They have prob
ably done some good; but is il equivaIen to
the expense! Have we not in our own oorn-
try full employment for all these Missionaries
and their vast fund! The Methodists seem TO
understand this question best. They send
books, tracts, miss nries, preachers and news
papers, al infnitum throughout The land, and
the substantial good which they have done
among The poorer class. is honorable 10 their
character, 10 their piety and religion.
"Look at the vas. sums raised in England
and IN this country, to convert the Jews, and
observe the number Of Missionaries. Each
convert COSTS SlO C., and there IS rot one
worth purchasing at this rate. Our ,ompluint
is. that they misiuko the nature and nupIica-
ton Of charity altogether. as contained in tie
scriptures. Temporal charity judicionsIy DIS
tr bu'ed, cannot fail Of making religious con-
ver's. Go TO our orphan esy luns, widows So
cieties, and other benevolent institutions go
among the poor and miserable throrgl out our
city feed them, eloihe them keep them Gom
the "peltings of The piilcss stor,n." and We
shall do more substantial good than cxpend-

wich Islands, or Nootka Sound.--N'etD- York

WEsTMINsrER CIRcUs.-We arc gratiicd
to learn, that Mr. Hans, the manager Of our
Circus, has made arrangements with the Broad
way, New-York, Company of Equestrians, to
perform a short season at our CIRCUS. The
company is represented to be Of the first char-
acter, and will undoubtedly attract full and
fashionable houses.
A Company Of Equcstrians could not come
among us, at better time, as we are destitute
of every species Of amusement, and know not
whcrc to spend our winters evenings, save it be
at the domestic fire side-a happy place most
ccrtoinly-and at tho usual places where our vo-
cation calls us. little variety, will sometimes
afford much relief, and we'll conducted Circus,
always affords much rational and innocent
amusement. Mr.. Hans, the manager, since
he has been among us, has been indefa:igable
iu his cxertions TO crafty the public, and will
not, as we trust, 60 unrewardcd.
II is expected that the Circus will be opened
on Wednesday night, though it is not certain
that tho company " i'll arrive in time to perform
on that evening. The opening will however,
be announced in the regular bills Of the day.

Within tho compass OF place lise ours,
blessed with wealth, and with a population
distinguished for their intelligence, mercy and
sense Of Justice, there are hundreds who are
already, by the too early approach of the dis
nal season of winter, involved in the depths
of misery, and require our aid. And shall we
turn deaf ear to their applications, and turn
heedlessly from their appeals, for the sake Of
contributing to the aid of the East India Cru
saders! We hope not, and most devoutly pray,
that the surplus means We now possess, will
be turned into common channel for their
support; and then may we indeed rejoice,
whilst we listen to the lisping thanksgiving
and praises of the orphan, and the hallowed
bcneGictions Of the once dsconsoate, but now
happy mother, who, choercd by our charities,
lives to hope for happier and better days.

GENERArDUFF GREENE, The pious and
moral editor Of that vehicle Of caumny, the
United States Telegraph, has had his pioms,
and sensitive nerves, most sadly shocked, by
reason OF Mr.. Adams having some weeks since,
offered, ebony and Topaz" as a toast, at
public dinner given him, by the citizens Of
Blltimore; and says, that the President was
guilty OF gross infdeli'y. by aluding TO the
names Of Ebony and Topaz" when are
found in philosophical tale, by Voltairc!
- General Greene, it is understood is an advo-
cate Of the feasibility Of the AtLeistical doc
trinc, and yet he is wounded in his feelings
because Mr.. Adams alluded to fable written
by Voltaire! Such sensitive feelings should
not be wounded and it is hoped. that when
Mr.. Adams again 6 YES a sentiment, he will
consult the pious feelings Of General Duff
Greene. Mr.. Adams very happily and learn
edly explained the alusion Of the toast, and 10
that explanation are we indebted for whatever
we know Of the alusion, and regret tina. we
cannot give his explanation, as he rendered it.
The toast was probably given without reAec-
ton, but be this as it may, no man of sense
can justly take any exceptions to its bearing
and allus:on. We notice this small matter, at
this late day, simply because the Opposition
papers harp upon it, as if it were an affair oI
the greatest consequence!

THE VENERABLE JOHN LANG, Senior
Editor Of tho New York Gazette, having had
an unpleasant personal affair, with Mr. Alder
man Cobra, has made an appeal and expose to
the public, in relation to the transaction. The
difficulty, b etween these two gentlemen,
had its origin, at the tho house of the latter.
whilst sitting by his domestic fre-s!de, and
grew out of difference of opinion in relation
to tho presidential question. Mr. Lang says,
that at the meeting in question, Ir. Zebra, re-
marked that he would sooner vote for a dog
for President, than General Jackson, which as.
scrticn, Mr.. Zebra denies ever having made,
and accuses Mr.. Lang Of having uttered de-
lbcrate falsehood. 1t appears that Mr.. Cobra
was at the time, a candidate for the Office OF
Alderman, and having asccrtained that, that
if ho were known to oppose General Jackson,
ho might lose some half dozen Of the votes OF
his ward, deemed it expedicnt to deny the Ian.
guago uttered by him to Mr. Lang. Mr.. Ce-
bra makes use Of the columns of the Evening
Post to vindicate himself, and Mr.. Lang en-
ploys his own columns.
The age Of Mr.. Lang. his great respectable
ty, and his uniformly correct life, have gained
for him the united respect and friendship Of all
who knew him, and bis statement will probably
be believed in preference to that Of an Office
seeker and Political aspirant, like Mr.. Zebra.
wo shall bo slow to believe, that Mr.. Lang
could be induced, by any offer, or prospect Of
ill-mcritcd reward, to utter a deliberate false
hood.

DEyrwIrIoN or Erss.-TLo Germans
are equally celebrated for kissing and smOk-
ing. They are undoubtedly the appiest pco-
pie on cath; and betwixt smoking and Hiss
ing, lead the most enviable lives ina gina BILE.
One Of their writer's, man Of celebrity, thus
defines kiss.
"what is kiss' A kiss as il were, il a
zeal of expressing our sincere alta chncnt; tho
pledge OF our future union; dumb, but at the
came time audible language of a living heart;
n present which at the same tiino that il is Civ
Ell is taken from us; the impression of an ar
drnt attachment on an ivory coral press; the
striking Of two hints against one another-a
crimson basam for love wounded heart-a
sweet bite Of the lip an affection pinching
n delicious d. which is eaten with scarlet
spoons--a sweat.m meat which does not satisfy
oar hungor-a fruit which is planted and gath
cred at the same timo-the quickest exchange
Of questions and answers Of two lovers; the
fourth dogreo Of loye!'
There is one part of the definition. to which
wo most seriously obje at;-that is, where the
writer says. that kiss is sweet bite Of tho lip
Now, as for yonr biting kisses we are no, fond
of them, and do most sincerely protest, against
thoir being nlucted to the kissing family! We
arc aware that the German girls, always bite
when thoy kiss; but from such kisses good
heaven preserve us;-wc bad as lief take a
smack from swapping turtle, as kiss from
ono Of your highland German lassies. Give us
the 'impassioned touch,' that Tom Moore
talks of-one Of them is worth more than all
the swapping turtle bites, that German ingcnu-
ity and love, could ever conceive.

THE SEAsoN.-Conversng on Thursday last
with an aged gentleman, who has particularly
noted the approach and return of the seasons
We were informed by him, when expressing an
opinion, that winter had made its appearance
unusually early, that in the month Of October
l7s6, snow foil, in this part of New-England,
to the depth Of nearly three feet, and SO COM
pletely ob.tructed the roads, that the sra-se
populace Of The country, were obliged to turn
out enmasse, to divest the roads Of their i'm
pedonents. Our aged informant, Also remarked
to us, that when the snow commenced falling
the weather was unusually mild, SO much so,
that tho crops Of corn had not been gathered,
ard were principally lost, together with most
Of The crop Of potatoes.
Ii has been prevailing opinion, for some
years past, that the nothcrn winters are grow
ing moro mild, but the visitation we have re-
ccntally had, seems TO refute the idea, and
convince us all, even at our fingers ends, that
winter is always winter; that we stand in about
the same latitude, wo did at the day, that the
pilgrims landed on the beach Of Plymouth.
