Yesterday was the Goth Anniversary
OF the birth of CHARLES CARaoLL. of
Carroll,on, who now enters upon his
ninety first year with his faculties un.
impaired, his energies undated, and
his feelings aud affections still buoyant
and waru.o His residence on Elk Ridge
was crowded, yesterday, with the wide
circle OF his children, grand children,
great grandchildren and intimate and
devoted friends, in the midst of whom,
MIR. Carroll appeared, in all the ANNA
hon OF a much younger age. After
dinner. when Mr.. Carroll had retired,
the following appropriate and beautiful
toast was given:-
Charles Carroll, Of Carrollton-May
public worth and private virtue be ever
IS now, crowned with the garland of
Bat Gas. Sept. 81.
Destitute Eish.--A late number of the
Scotsman says-Hordes of Irish, to
the very nader of poverty and destitu.
ton, continue 10 pour into the west of
Scotland. According to the Glasgow
Chronicle, upwards of 10000 of these
wretched creatures had landed on Sun
day night, and we hear that on Monday
evening a fresh migratory band OF $50
was landed by the Fingal Steam. packet.
Only Is pence a head was charged for
their passage. When told it would be
some time ere the harvest commenced,
and that il was needless for them 10 ex-
pect employ ment, they cody answered
that they would labor for any thing, no
matter how little, and declared that they
could not possibly be worse off than they
were IN their W country. Beyond
question, there is at present too little
regular work for native laborers in the
west, and it is painful to think that a
portion of the little they have, will be
wrested from them by these unhappy
wretches. $50
A most ancient and venerable Bot.-A
French journal has a tolerably tough
story about a bat killed by a hunter in
the enyirons of Laigle. The lower part
of the body, was surrounded by a sort
of bracelet, Of the purest gold, on which
were engraved these words: ".Marim.
imp. subj. Gal. 81, Aug. Civ. Senon."
which we may interpret, "The great
Emperor Galba conquered Gaul on the
27th August whether Cir. Senon.
stands for circum Ssnones, or not, we
cannot say. A particular use was made
OF bats in the ceremonies oftbe ancient
augurs, but we little dreamt that one of
these birds was to be the historian of
Galba. The fame of the Emperor be-
meath the wings of a bat! This bird must
have been tough senior" about eish-
teen hundPed years old, at the time of
his death. This surpasses the S~paniard's
salutation. -
