MUTINY AND MURDER.-Havns in for
mer paper, published an article with the cap
tion which heads this paragraph, in which it
was stated, that Captain Robinson had been
thrown overheard, in the Delaware, by his
crew, and murdered, we now take pleasure in
stating the facts as proved before a legal tri-
bunai, and which 60 to acqmt the parties said
to have been crimnaliy implicated in the trans
action. We quote from the Editor Of the New
York Statesman, who says, that ." close and
critical examination Of all the facts come cted
with this affair, took place at Chester penn. }
on Monday Of last week-fom which it ap
peared, that when off Marcus Hook, the Cap,
tain (being intoxicated, as we'll as most of the
crew. without the least provocation, gave
Edmund r. Curtis, mate, several severe blows
in the face; they clenched, and in the scuffie
the Captain was accidentally thrown over
board, and drowned. 1t also appeared. that
every possible exertion was made to save him,
but he sunk before the boat could be got off.
The Justice, and we believe every other per-
son present, being satisfied that the mate did
not a ct from malicious motives, but that it was
altogether accidental, after a short lecture on
the danger and improperly of intemperance,
discharged the whole of them"

PUBLIC DINNERs.-Publc Dinners have
at last become SO dog cheap, that they are
not worth ones acceptance. Very recently,
the Commander Of a Steam Boat, who had
ascended the Tennessee River as far as
Knoxville, was received by the poPulaco with
open arms, and they prepared sumptuous
feast for him, at which whiskcy was swallowed
in no small quantities, and ,oasts drank with
out number, all Of which wero Of course set
down TO the credit Of General Jackson. Now
there was nothing improper in the giving Of
public dinner, or in the drinking Of the toasts,
but whilst the good people of Tennessee wor-
shipped the steam boat commander. they
should have remembered, that Fulton was the
inventor Of the steam boat. The Captain of
the steam vessel, VIC dare say felt well-the
Tennesseans felt well-,hc boat looked well,
and all was well enough, though the gala par
took of the pre-eminentIy ridiculous.

Swimming after a loper.-The Waterford
Chronicle relates an instance Of female deter
mnation. which il it had been carried into ef-
feet, would have made the fea,s of Leander
and Lord Byron appear contemplate. Last
night, about ten O'Clock, young female was
observed OIL the parade, standing in rather a
forlorn attitude upon the brink Of the river
After a moment or two, she proceeded to take
off her clothes, but before she had quite I'M
robed herself, a sailor from the brig Apollo,
who was observing her with astonshment, and
who suspected what her intentions were, rush
ed from the vessel, and caught the unfortunate e
creature at the moment sho was about to
plunge into the river. Upon being questioned
who she was, she refused to answer, but said
she was an English girl, (Which from her ac-
cent, was quite evidently and that she was
going to swim after her lover, who was gone
TO America. She was lodged in the tower,
where she at present remains"

are engaged in keeping up the excitement in

such silly practices. Messrs. Adams and Clay

BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT. We copy from a
newspaper, published in some part of the state
of Rhodc-Isand, and Providence Plantations,
the annexed precious paragraph. 1t is per-
haps necessary to premise, that the genius who
presidcs over the destinies Of tho print from
which wo make the extract is too pious
to publish a theatrical or lottery adver-
t;ssmsnt, and yet he can mako mockery Of the
dead.
"SIR WALTER Scorr, the novelist, it is
said, has commenced writing sermons. They
will probably rank with the woud-be religious
illusions OF Byron and Moore (; the jeer Of the
profanc, and the grief Of the pious If these
"spawners of fusian romance. and lascivious
lvrics," would confino themselves to their own
kennels, they would appear less ridiculous.
Their awkward efforts to put or the garb of
rntus and religion, remind one Of a monkey
in human costume, or 4 pig clothed in fine
linen"
The fgurative mode of expression, which dis
tinguishes the last sentence Of the parag graph,
peculiarly pleascs us;--onIy think ont pir-
tue religion monkey pig, and fine
linen. all assembled! What fertile ina gina
tion-what q taste for grouping! The gen.
tleman is as mad as March hare, with Sir
Walter Scott, because the baronet, has UNDER
taken to write sermons; and, from the tenor Of
his language. undoubtedly means to have the
world understand, that in his opinion, a lay
man has not a right 10 write a sermon, and
further than this, that none but the clergy can
write patesk moral essay, discourse, or SER
mon. Now to our mind, writing is ~ much Of
an art, as any other art, and no who is mas
ter Of it, has as good right to write a SER
mon as a novel or a play. Doctor Young
wrote for the pulpit and the stage so did Ma
turin, Swift, Sterne. Mason, Doddridge, and
Hannah Adams, and why should not Sir Wal
ter Scott be allowed the same privilege.
According to the rules laid down by tie
genius to whom we now allude, a writer 10 not

spiritually gifted and called to the ministry.

The bitterness and ungcntiemanly virulence.
which distinguish tho foregoing, have no effect
on Us. and we notice the ono and the other,
merely TO let him who directed them at our
persons know, that his malice is as impotent
rs his spleen is silly. The public cannot feel
particularly interested in our private affairs
with the Editor Of the Daily American States
man. nor are we anxious to lako them the
subject Of newspaper remark. But il We are
TO bs driven on, we have to assert, that We
retained the acquaintance Of Mr.. Nathaniel
Greene, so long as we esteemed him as gen.
ien,an, and so long as he maintained the dig
nifty OF that character. But when We found
that We had been deceived, and that he was
not entitled to our regard and that he was
struggling 10 do us an injury, ce " cut his ac-
quaintance." 1t is not true that the States
man has performed for US any act Of kindness,
beyond what as a gentleman he wa, bound to
perform, and if Of that he intends to make n
merit, why let him do so. We care nothing
about his snecrs or his scurrillty the Cadet
can defend and sustain its reputation, nor 60
we think it will suffer any thing, by being con-
trasted with tho dignifed character Of the
Boston DAILY Statesman. The subject is of
no consequence is too ridiculous 10 be con-
sidcred, and wo leave it.

Opinion Of General Jackson in England.
TO show our readers the estimation in which
Gen. Jackson is held in England, we copy the
following paragraph, from the Quarterly Re-
Wow. Th. ~ri,er, In sPosking Of tho affairs Of
this country, remarks:
"There is no doubt, however, that the So
Der and right thinking part Of the people trem-
BILE at the idea Of pla cling military man at the
head of the government, and particularly such
a man as Jackson, who is represented as one
destitute Of every qualification for the presiden-
cy, and possessing nothing to recommend him
to the suffrages OF his fellow citizens, but an
ungovernabe temper, ferocious courage, and
a contempt for the constitution and laws
They are apprehensve, and not without reason,
that should such man be elected. the charac-
ter Of the government of their peaceful and
happy confcderacy may be changed into that
of the most miserable, the most despotic, and, {,
to all the enjoyments Of life, the most formida-
BILE that ever afflicted the human race-a mill
tary republic The natural consequences
would be, that Of running into the contrary
extreme-the establishment Of a monarchical
government.
If the account Of Jackson's conduct, as
stated in Tennessee newspaper, be true, and
it is authenticated by the signature Of one Of
the parties concerned, Thomas Fl. Benton,]
he is filter for cell in Jail, with a strait
wa ast coat, than the presidents chair"
The Monthly Review, in speaking of the
General. says:
"After filling the Office of president judge
Of the quarter sessions. [whew!1 Jackson, with
that facility Of change so prevalent in America I,
became soldier, and took the command Of
body Of militia, destined to let against the In
dians. His military career is well known
His tyranny while he commanded in the South,
his atrocious execution-murder we should call
it - of our countTymen, Arbuthnot and Ambris-
ter, and his Nero-hke assertions, that had it
been IN his power, he would have caused all
the members of the Hartford Convention to be
hanged certainly justify the author in saying,
/" these are stains upon his character, which
no subsequent efforts for his country can re-
move" Yet we are told, p. 81, that "he is
the only individual in the Union, who can ap-
ply a remedy to the existing abuses"

AMOS KENDALL.

II will bs remembered by most Of our read
ers, that Mr. Amos Kendall formerly warm
advocate Of Mr.. Clay, about two years since,
seeded from the political church 10 which no
had been previously attached, and went over
to General Jackson's political camp meeting
AS Kendall had received numerous kindnesses
from Mr.. Clay, and as the Secretary Of State
had been his early and disntcres,cd benefac-
tor, it was difficult TO conjecture, what should
induce him 10 abandon his friend and pat
ron. But tho voil has been torn asde-thc
mystery is unravellcd, and it 10 in proof, that
tho Jackson party purchased Kendall ,cith
money, and paid him 1910 dollars, for his
npostacy. Tho money was paid by THOMAS
p. MOORE, q raving ia cksonian Of the Ken
lucky delegation, and was drawn from the
Jackson secret service fund.
No man in tho United States. is moro bitter
in his jenuncations Of Mr.. Clay, than Kendall.
the very man, who, but for Mr.. Cay's chari-
ties, would have died in the Aims House.
But the fellow has been sold d-Tom p. Moore
purchased him for 1910 dolIars-and Kendall
admits that he received tho money-and let
him 60 for what he is worth, say we.

"The proceedings of the Administration

lows: Strange TO tell, wo have had meeting

the friends of the Opposition admit that the
Administration will run equal, if not beat the
Jackson Ticket. l have, in all my acquain-
tance with political parties, never witnessed
a change moro rapid, and likely to be more
complete. thaR the one now taking place in

secuted and prescribed The Opposition pa
