PICKLE EMMoNs, Of Boston, more gener.
ally known by the title Of Orator Emmons is
now in Washington, and we perceive by an
advertisement in the Inteligencer, has obtain
ed permission to make a display of his powers,
in the Hall of the House of Representatives
That Pickle may succeed, in instructng
some Of the wise-acros, who dose away ses-
sion of Congress, we do not doubt, but we
cannot but think, that by thus converting the
Hall of the National Assembly into the Thea
ire Of the mountebank, is discreditabo to tho
Speaker, and to all who are concerned in its
prostitution. As Pickle, has succeeded in ta-
king the chair of the Speaker, Colonel Pluck
may next make demand, and how can he be
refused. If the Hall of the National Lcgisa-
ture is to be made the receptacle of mountc-
banks and ideots if it is 10 be converted into
a menagerie Of wild beasts-the common exhi-
btion hall of monsters, toads, alligators, snap
ping turtles, and mammoth monkies, it would
be as well to throw its doors open, for the re-
ception Of tie Whale, curiosity which would
make old George Kremer stare, and General
Alexander Smyth proclaim, that tho seven
headed monster, spoken of in his illustration
Of the Apocalypse, was before him.
Mrs. RoYALL. Our venerated friend-that
friond to every body save tho missionaries =
Mrs. Anne Royal, has arrived in Ncw-York
last from Burlington, Vermont, with lame leg,
and clear conscience. Since she has been
in the London of America, she has addressed
a letter to Major Noah, in which she gives a
pathetic account Of her disaster, and ascribes
her misfortunes to the Missionaries. She SAYS
that she has been followed by ,hom for num-
Der Of years, and at last they have broken her
venerable log. How savage Her account
Of her misfortune at Burlington is truly pathet-
ic, and draws tears from the eyes Of the SYM
pathetic and obdurate. The story is simply
this: she entered the house of gentleman, a
missionary, and asked him to purchase one OF
her books, which. he declined doing. How
cold how ungrateful She then told him that
he was worthless rascal, a vile missionary
how spirited land that she would pay him
for his penurous conduct, by putting him in
her black book. How alarming This called
forth the fury Of the Missionary, and seizing
her by the last lock OF hair that remained on
her venerable sconce. and placing his foot on her
back, threw her into the street. How cruel
That, on landing, she struck tho hard ground
and broke her venerable log. How wicked !
How disastrous But the black book, will
settle all for goody Royal.

| EDWARD {. PINcKNEY AND STEPHEN
| SIMPSON, the first the editor of the Marylan-
der, and the latter, editor Of the Philadelphia
Mercury, have had a personal difiiculty-ap-
proaehing towards duel but not duel in
! ract--which has terminated in tho binding over
Of both parties to keep the peace, and to be-
! have like good and proper gentlemen.
! OF tho facts connected with tho case, we
know but little else, than that they were pro-
voked by a scurrilous attack on Mr. Pinckney
by Mr. Simpson. 1t is true, that the assault
was partcalarly malignant and offensive, but
We are sorry that Mr.. Pinckney should have
noticed it. coming from the source that it did
Simpson has been prodigal Of his abuse of US
has published more falsehoods concerning US,
than he can atone for by century's repent
ance. At his folly and mendacity wO have
laughed most heartily, and lot him escape with
but little notice. The fact is, the man who
takes upon himself the robes Of an editor, must
expect to be assailed in his better feelings, and
if hs be, tho best way he can manage to put
an end t6thc trAng pains no may endure, is
to be jolly, to laugh at his foes, be happy and
grow fat. As Cor duelling, it is a science with
which we are not acquainted, and are particu-
larly aycrse to its operations, and have no
idea of settling all our quarrols editorial, at the
mouth Of the pistol Mr.. Simpson, and our
selves, have q small editorial account TO settle,
but we shall not servo him as Pinckney did,
We shall settle it according TO custom, and by
that rule Of right, which we have ever taken
for our guido;-we can't stand yosr powder and
bullets.
Mr.. Pinckncy is tho son Of the late distin-
guished William Pinckey, and is well known
TO the public as poet, and as a political wri-
ter. Educated in the region Of the ducllist, he
has been taught to settle all his disputes, at
the point Of the sword, or at tho move of the
hair trigger. In his politics. he dcvotss him
self to the cause Of the administration, and is

ELIAS HICKS. This celebrated prea cher,
of tho Society of FRIENDSHIP recently publish
ed his letters on the divinity of Christ, in which
hc assumes, that the Holy Nazsrene, was the
son of Joseph and Mary, and no, begotten by
the Holy Spirit. He supports with much abil-
ity and animation, the opinions advanced by
Unturians, and in some points agree with them
exactly. The fame which this celebrated in
divdual has acquired, and the weight which
is ever attached to his writings, will undoubt-
edy give his letters wide circulation, and
probably make some prosolytes His argu-
ments are sound and cogont, and cannot be
easily refuted.-Tho letters are published in
the New-York National Advocate, AMI will
bo ro-published in this paper, if any of our re-
spected subscribers. who belong to the Society
Of Friends, should ask us to do 80.

that he could not prevail upon London paper
to take sidcs with him in the enterprize.

Unfortunately foi KrAN, almost every Lon
don pap,r is opposed 10 him, and no man has
suffered more at their hands than he has. As
one time they drove him from his native land
and since his return, they have pursued hlm'
till he has been broken in spirit, if not in mind
and almost rendered unfit for the profession.-
And yet it is said that he employed tho press,
to oppose Mr.. Cooper! Nonsense. Mr.. Coop
er has failed, because he is capable of sus-
tanning the high range Of the drama, he has J.
ways injudieieusly assumed.--Kean has done
him no wrong; and why should he ever attempt
to do so? He has arrived at the highest pin
nacle of fame. and has had nothing TO fear
from Cooper. Thcy are both Englishmen ;
they have both been adjudged by their coun-
trymen; one has failed--ihe other has sue
cesded, and it is nonsense for Mr.. Coopei's
friends to talk about Kean's prosecuting their
favourite.

FOR THE LITERARY CADET.
In the last number of the Cadet, noticed a
communication, signed, GA Member of the
First Baptist Church Society,"" which has Gre
ated with me, no small surprise. Your CORES
pondent complains, that the pews belonging
to the first Baptist Church, are filled up ndis-
crimnately IN the evening, aud that they, who
in the day time, are content 10 sit in the galle-
res, are found, in the evening, occupying the
most conspicuous seats in the church. With
out stopping to notice the arrogant and insult
ing sneer, which is cast at those who are said
to be content to sit in the galleries in the day
time, but take conspicuous pews in the evening,
| will remark, that custom, has declared that
the pews of the Church shall be free at night.
Whenever charity sermon is preached in :he
evening, committee Of the society act upon
the occasion, and open the church. Ev-
cry pew is then held in common, and until this
late day, no exceptions have been taken to
tno proceeding. agree with your correspon-
dent, that his property is his property, in the
night as well as the day." and / am perfectly
willing that he should SO consider it, and use
it. If he objects to the occupation of his pew
by any one else than himself, would suggest
to him the propriety Of his locking it up, and
thus secure to himself, what he so tena aciously
considers his own. l nope, that the practice
of making our churches common in the evening
will prevail, and can say, that for my own
part, approve of the plan.

hope that both will be satisfied, as we cannot
consent, that the subject should occupy any
further space in our columns. For ourselves,
