m-CrrY CHARTEn.-Thc Editor of {


@-CIrY CHARTER.-Thc Editor of the
American has come forward in his paper Of
yesterday, and made US a City Charter. This
is kind in tho gentleman, and, to do him JUS
tice, we arc pleased with some parts Of HIS
Report. The plan Of granting the right
to vote for town officers, to all who pay taxes
and do military duty, ought to be adopted
When the Committee was int appointed 10
drah the Charter, we were informed that it
was the intention Of some Of the gentlemen
composing that body, TO insert such clause
in tho instrument, but for some reason an :
known 10 US, it was not done.
We think, however, that the Editor Of tile
American must have been out Of his senses,
when he peoned the paragraph recommending
that the City Officers be chosen once in sir
months. We believe that that gentleman has
seen enough ofthc i'll effects Of electing officers
for less than one year. in the choice of State
Representatives., within the last three years
To elect town or city officers once in six
months, would keep the town in continual ag.
itation and excitement. and would have no be
neficial effect, in whatever light it may te
viewed.

DARING OUTRAGE.-An outrage was at.
tempted, last Saturday evening, at S. Reading
Mass, on a very respectable young lady, about
lS years Of age. by violent efforts she es
capped from tho monster, and rushed into a
house that was near, the alarm was spread.
several hundred persons assembled, aud scar
ched the woods and roads for tho ruffian. A
person was found, supposed TO be the villain
he was arrested, and sent 10 prison in irons.
The young lady is confident that the man who
is under arrest, was the one who made the as.
sault upon her, from his dress, voice, and
some marks on his face, made by her hands,
in her struggles TO escape from HIM.
Another informant says the young lady did
NOT escape from the monsters grasp until her
cries had brought man almost TO the very
spot; he then fled TO the woods. Tho lady's
teeth were forced into her mouth and broken
and she suffered considerable injury in othor
respects. The accused is said to be foreign.

Iced spon, for the Probate of wills and settle
ment Of estates of deceased citizens. y
Bnt fear Of arbitrary po,Ser and erpense,
are the principal objections to the adoption oi
the charter; neither Of these trouble me; am
no more afraid Of arbitrary power being exer-
cised by men who hold their Offices for twelve
short months, than am Of the expense. If
can place my business in the hands Of an Agent
and he will do it as well, If not better than
can, then I should be willing to compensate
him, because my Time may be better employed
about affairs Of more imme date consequence
to me.

0J-Thc editor Of the American says he does
not keep a carriage" We should be much
pleased to have that gentleman inform us, il
he ever knew an editor who was able 10 keep
carriage, or if he ever expects to be know
ing to such circumstance. We doubt whcth-
er such case can be cited. If an editor can
collect money enough TO pay for gig to ride
out half dozen times on publication afternoons
during the summer, he must be a lucky dog,
but to think Of owning a carriage is ridiculous.

[BY THE WESTERN MALT

The ship Roman arrived at New-York on
Saturday, bringing Liverpool dates to the 25th
Oct. and London to the 23d.
The dates Of official accounts from the Rus
sian army before the Turkish fortresses, are
to the 2lst Sept. from S~chymla. to the I'd Oct.
from Varna. According to these accounts.
the siege OF Schumla was not raised on the
2ls', and the Russians were pressing the siege
Of Varna on the I'd Oct. The Russian bulletin
from Sciuinla, does not mention much about
the hard fighting with Hussein Pacha, and at
Varna they had destroyed only a part of the.
iortifications. 1t is very evident, however.
that the Russians act on the defensive. Gene
raj Roth had left Silistria 10 aid the attack
on schunla. The Turks al Widdin had made
an incursion into Little. WalIachia as far ma
Crejova, and after some fighting had retreated
10 the other side of the Danube. According
TO the Turkish accounts, the Russians are hard
pressed IN every quarter. An account is piy-
en- Of several fights between a Turkish Gone,
raj under Husscin Boy, and the troops Of Witt
genstein. 1t IL also said, that the Grand Viz
Ter has reached ,Varna. These accounts do.
not confirm the story Of The ussians being in re,
irea. 10 the Danube. The Turks say that the
Russians cannot take Varna for the present
year. There will, probably, be some yorv
hard lighting at the close Of the campaign
The great object of Nicholas appears 10 be
the capture 0 fVarna, SO as to afford a cover
to his main army.
The Turks are equally determined 10 defea,
him. Ii the Russians do not take Varns du.
ring this campaign, they will DO completely
defeated and driven from Bulgaria; probably
GU. OF the principalities. The war looks more
and more desperate.
II is runored that The Porte has acceded 10
fh. a r.
settlement Of Greece.
Accounts have becn received at Lloyds
that the Porte had refused to give any moro
hrmans for the Black Sea TO vessels Of what,
ever nation.
Some symptoms Of fever have appeared
at Malaga. The inhabitants had left tho
town and encanped in the neighborhood.
BY official returns from Gibralter, there was
9s cases Of fever on Both Sept. and Is deaths;
IL, Oct. % cases, ls deaths; I'd Oct. 100 ca.
sec, II deaths.
