FOREIGN NEWS.

The latest intelligence from Europe is
by the way of New York, to which place
the packet ship Brighton, Captain Sebor
brought London papers to November LIST,
and Portsmouth paper to November 3rd.
Russian bulletins have brought the army
transactions before Varna to October | 1 tn.
Varna was taken possession of BY the
Russian forces between the 9TH and 18th
October. The assault, which resulted in
the surrender, was made on the 7th. A
small force entered Varna by means of
breach of the north basin, nearest the sea.
Meeting with little resistance, this body
penetrated to the middle of the town. and
not having force enough to take possession
Of the place, retired in good order, with a
loss of 80 killed and 800 wounded they
brought away two pairs of colours, and Ell
Their spiked, or threw into the sea, ii pie
ces of cannon. Such was the alarm pro-
duced in the enemy by this bold and
successful exploit, that a conference was
upon the moment proposed, and Jussuf
Pacha himselfwas the frstwho command
ed his followers to lay down their arms
Internationally, and without stipulation
of any kind, and to pass over to the Rus
sian camp. In the course of the night,
and on the next morning, his example
was followed by the whole garrison, save
only Captain Pacha, and a few followers,
composed of his immediate suits, who
threw themselves into the citadel. They
were afterwards made prisoners there by
the Russian soldiers, who had entered by
the breaches made in the external defen-
ces ofthe town. The German papers con-
firm the above account with trifling varia-
tons.
BERLIN, Ger. "a. The Prussian State
Gazette, of this date, contains three Rus
sian bulletins of the operations before
Varna, of the 9Th. 9th, and 18th, which
contains the particulars of the capture of
Varna, entirely comfortable to those al
ready received from Hamburg. Another
bulletin brings down the operations be-
fore Shumla to the 3rd of October, where
nothing particular had happened. Private
letters, by the steamboat, add, that the
place was taken by stratagem. The Pa

DEC. 2. In the Senate, 5000 COPIES
of the Presidents message were ordered to
be printed, and the usual order was passed
for supplying the members with news
papers. In the House, 5000 copies of the
message were ordered to be printed, and
the message was reported TO a committee
of the whole.
DEC. 8. In the Senate, the resolution
for the appointment of the standing COM
mittees was laid on the table, to be taken
up in few days. The President pro.
tenn. gave notice that spectators would
hereafter be excluded from the floor Of
the Senate. In the House, on motion Of

of two and half per cent. between the
common imported goods, and the draw
back allowed on their re-exportation, and
also to inquire whether some of the Gus
tom House charges to which Importers
and Exporters of merchandise, and own
ers of vessels, are now subjected, ought
not to be discontinued. In the House,
the various resolutions laid on the table
on the preceding day, calling for informa-
ton on various subjects, were taken up
and agreed to. A resolution was offered
requiring the Committee on Manufactures
to inquire into the expediency of reduce
ing the duty ON Salt. When this resolu-
ton was read, Mr.. Woodcock demanded
the question of consideration, and asked
the Ayes and Noes on the question, which
were ordered. The question was then
taken by ayes and noes, when the House
refused to consider the resolution-Ayes
rs, Noes SO. The annual Treasury Re-
port was communicated to the House by
the Speaker, and 5000 were ordered to be
printed. A report from the Secretary of
War, on the subject of the civilization of
the Indians, was communicated to the
House and ordered to be printed.
After the morning business had been
disposed of, the Speaker called the Or
dcrs of the Day when on motion of Mr..
Strong, the House resolved itself into
Committee of the whole on the state of
the Union, and took up the bill to author
ize the establishment of the territorial
government of Huron. Mr.. Strong NOV
ed several amendments to the bill, and
having filled up the blanks, the Commit
tee rose, and reported the bill as amend
ed. The bill and amendments were then
laid on the table and ordered to be print
ed for the use of the House.
DEC. 10. In the Senate, Mr.. Sisbee's
resolution for an inquiry into the ex-
pediency of abolishing the existing differ
ence of two and half per cent. between
the duties on imported goods and the
drawbacks allowed, &c. was agreed to.
Mr.. Ryland was elected Chaplain of the
Senate for this session. The several sub
jects of the Presidents Message were re-
ferred to their appropriate Committees.
In the House, several bills were reported
from the Committees of Ways and Means,
the Territories and Claims, which were
read and committed. Various resolutions
were then offered. Among others, res
olution was offered by Mr. Weems, the
object of which was to produce REIN
vestigation of the Tariff Law of the last
session, with view TO the reporting of
bill which would be more acceptable in
its provisions, to those sections of the
Union which regard the ax;stinn la,u-as
unconstitutional. 1t was the intention of
Mr.. Weems to lay his resolution on the
table for the present, and ne made mo-
ton to that effect; but Mr.. Malary de-
manded the question for consideration,
and Mr.. Taylor asked for the Ayes and
Noes on that question, which were ac-
cordingly ordered. The question on con-
sidering the resolution was then put, after
the House had refused to permit Mr..
Weems to withdraw it, and negatived,
1872 to 81.

NUGAE ANTIQUAE.


The following, taken from the Massachu-
sets Journal of the 18th inst, is descrip-
ton of an ancient coin in the possession of
the Editor of that valuable Journal.
The piece is shilling, Kid, of the second
coinage of the Colony of Massachusetts Bay; bear
ing the date Of 1862 but perhaps not issued in that
year. hutchinson states that the same date was
continued for 80 years; bnt in this mistake he has
been corrected by Mr.. Savage in our Hist. ColIec-

The law of the colony of Massachusetts
bay authorizing the coinage of money, was
made in 1862. 1t provided "that a mint
house be erected in Boston, and that the
bullion, &c. brought in should be there coin
ed into twelve penny, six penny, and three
penny pieces, which shall be stamped with
double ring on either side with this inscrip-

figure XII. vi. III. according to the value
OF each piece on the other side; together
with privy mark, which shall be appointed
every three months by the GOVERNOR, and
known only to him and the sworn officers
of the mint" The value to be two pence
in the shilling less @than the present Eng
lish coin; !" and to be the current money of
the Commonwealth. A heavy penalty was
imposed upon any one who should send, car
'y, or transport any of this money out of
this Jurisdiction.
Ten years after, (1662) the master of the
mint was directed to I" coin two penny pieces
of silver" Hutchinson observes that there
was great variety of dies. 1t would seem
that the two pences all bore date 1862, and
all the others, including one penny pieces,
1852; although the coinage of money con.
tinued from 1852, for thirty years or more.

A Cow, belonging to Capt. Timothy Snow,
of Lunenburg, in this State, about the first
of May last, was sick and refused to eat for
two days. She then became well and con-
tinued SO about two months, when she again
appeared unwell during another month, at
the expiration of which time, Capt. Snow
discovered tumour, about eight inches from
her backbone and the same distance from
the point of her shoulder; which continued
to increase for the space of another month,
when Capt. Snow cut into the tumour and
found the small end of whip-handle, an
inch in diameter at the largest, and one half
inch in diameter at the smallest end, twenty
inches and one half in length, which he with
much difficulty and strength drew from the
Cow. In few days the Cow became well
and is now a fine healthy animal.

LANCASTER.
TUESDAY, DECEMBER IS, 1928.


1.-THE foreign news to-day will be found to pos
sess considerable interest. The most important
event announced is the surrender of Varna to the
Russian army, of which particular account will be
found under the appropriate head. In other respects
the affairs of the remain in stata quo. We have
some London papers of late date from which we
shall make extracts.
D@In Congress, as yet, very little has been done
and there are no indications of what is to be the
business the winter. The rejection of the reso-
luton to abolish the duty salt and molasses and
also of the resolution ofFeredby Mr.. Weems, by such
decided votes, pretty evidence that the
bers do not mean at present to NEEDLE with the
Tariff. The administration members, it is said,
voted in the majority, on this resolution See pro-
ceedings Of Congress.
The attempt to choose Mayor of Boston,
on Monday last, was unsuccessful, on ac-
count of a strange prejudice which has been
excited against Mr.. Quincy, whose services
defatigable and very successful in promot-
ing the interest and reputation of the city.
Boston folks are indeed g full of notions.n
YANKEE ENTERPRIsE. The palm of en-
terpfise and hardy adventure must be con-
ceded to the Yankees, before all the world.
1t has long been said that there is no sea
which has not been visited by an American
sail, and no port which American enterprise
has not penetrated for gain. Considering
the infancy of our nation. and the vast num-
Der OF other objects to which the enterprise
OF Americans has been attracted, this is say
ing great deal. But appearances indicate
that even this saying will soon come to fall
Tar short of expressing the actual daring and
adventurous spirit Of the inhabitants of the
new world. The following facts are stated
by the Providence (R.-I.) Americana

Mn. D'WoLF's LECTURES. We are much
pleased in announcing to the citizens of Provi-
dence that Professor D'Wolf of Bristol, has con-

science Of Chemistry in this town. We consid-
er the simple annunciation Of this fact n ST. ic-

an interest in either gaining useful information.

that he is held in the highest estimstion in this

An acquaintance with the science Of Chemistry
is necessary TO every individual, let his or her
occupation or profession be what il may. II is
as useful to the house wife ms il is to the man OF

it has not been more universally studied by the
great mass Of the people in this country. Pro-

THE CASE OF REDMOND. We have read,
with intense interest, the trial of TIMOTHY B.
REDMOND, lad at the last term of the New
York s~essions. charged with crimes of forgery
and swindling, and have risen from the p~srusal
Of the trial, perfectly satisfied, that Mr.. Red
mond is not guilty Of the charges preferred
against him. Of his innocence, the jury were
so fully satisfied that they returned to their box,
after q few moments absence, with a verdict
of not guilty. which verdict. was received with
warm and unoquivocal tokens Of appreciation,
BY the multitude who had assembled to Witness
so interesting a trial.
It appears TO US, from a perusal Of the trial
that a conspiracy, deeply plotted by q gang Of
villains, was got up, to produce the destruction
Of Redmond, and we are rojoiced. that their
designs have failed them. 1t further ap pears
to US. that there is something radically wrong.
in the proceedings Of tho criminal courts Of tho
city oe New-Y York; q recklessness Of conse-
quences, is too often displayed by the public
prosecutor, who seems to handle mans repu-
tation, as If it wero not worth preserving. For
the injuries Redmond has sustained by this
v~exatious trial, we hope he will find a remedy.

PREssEs.-Among the numerous Presses,
which have been established, by General Jack
son, and which are supported out Of the fifty
thousand dollar fund, thore is one, published in
the town Of Bangor, Maine, and operated by
a genius, who TO gain a little notoriefy, among
the heroes of tho calumniators and detractors,
sallies forth, every week, to see what ho can
do, for the cause OF Backbi,cs. His paper
i. called the eastern Republican, and in the
las. number OF that precious publication, which
reached us yesterday, we find the annexed
paragraph:
GA books a book, although there's nothing
int. We advise all our readers, who think a
neU illustration Of tho old maxim, drowning
men catch at straws," n fair compensation for
yawnlng three or four hours over a sleepy book,
TO peruse Mr.. Clay's seventh, and, wo hope,
last Defence"
Although the paragraph, is Of no kind of
consequence, and but for tho notice We take OF
it, would probably have fallen still born from
the press, VIC will record it on the face Of our
paper, and at the same time, inform the frail
lump of mortality, who wrote it, that if he sup
poses he can destroy Mr.. Clay's book. by the
emission Of whole volumes Of ribaldry, he will
find himself sadly mistaken. The book has
been read by the million. and has not been
without its effect. 1t clearly, and satisfactorily
substantiates the purity and uprightness of Mr..
Clay's official and unofficial conduct. 1t has
satisfied, many Of the most ardent Of General
Jackson's misunderstanding to their own
Clay has been falsely charged, and that he is q
much injured and prosecuted gentlemen, and
an abused public functionary.

Mrs. RoYALL.-We ore concerned to state.
that our venerable female friend, Mrs. Royal,
has brokcn-n not that long stemmed pipe Of
hers but her venerable leg!! This Distress
ing accident took place about ten or twelve
days since, in some part Of Vermont. It ap-
pears that the old lady, had presented her book
to a gentleman, and requested him 10 purchase
it, which he refused to do. Indignant, at this
apparent want Of galIantry, and entire absence
f every sense Of justice, the old lady like
Xenophon, made a hasty retreat from the enc
my's country--not a-la-mode Col. Jarvis, and in
hcr haste. stumbled, fell, and broke her leg.
Would TO mercy, it had been her pipe and not
aer leg! In tho mids, of this her season Of sor-
row and misfortune, We offer her our sim
cere tostim, mails Of coincidence, and wish her .
speedy restoration. Major Noah! cant you
do something for the old lady! Why won't
you writo a play for her benefit

SOLOMON SoUrnwIcx.- Respect for the
age Of this gentleman, and admiration for the
industry and perseverance ho has manifested
through life, have heretofore prevented our no.
ticing some Of his writings. as they deserved,
and induced US, to extend to him overy indul-
gcncc. Our forbearancc, has, however, been
lily rsquitod; and as Mr.. Southwick presents
low and offensive abuse, IN return for our cour-
tesies, We are constrained to inform him, that
We shall not hereafter notice his cbullitions Of
vulgarity: and that only on those occasions,
when he shall deport himself as a gentleman
should, shall we bestow upon him the least at
t%ention. IL no considers, that scurrility is ar
guIncnt, and that buiioonery is docency, and
nonsense, sense, he widely differs with US, and
cannot sail in the same barque. five were TO
notice, tho whole of the ribaldry he has cast
at us, we should offend our readers, and waste
our time. If OH any occasion. he may deem
it necessary to break lance with us, and will
conGno himself 10 tho rigid rules of decency.
and propriety, lie will find us ready to meet
him, and perfectly at his service. Thus mach
we say in perfect good hunor:-und thus we
conclude our remarks.
