$40 a. a deposit; this was accepted, the young
beau borrowed some other trinkets, and pro-
ceeded to display his we'll adorned person In
some cfths fashionable parts Of the city. The
person from whom he had borrowed the finery
on having the bill examined discovered that II
was on a broken bank, and feeling himself
hoafed sci about searching for the wearer oil
false plumage, he was succcssful,a and was soon
joined by the young man who had lent the
articles Of dress on the day previous he having
learned that theSoung gcntIemaH had borrow
ed several articles out Of his trunk without
using the troublesome ceremony of asking
his leave. Ii appears that this adveDtursr had
been some time since in one OF our state
prisons, convicted Of forging bill Tor $500,
he has pardoued by Lieutenant Governor

ADVANCE or TIE wrsr.-By calculation
made during the Goth Congress, and which
appears altogether probable, il seems that in
1880. the population of the United States
will be l3 millions The new States will con
tain one third; and in 1850, should the popula-
tinn advance in the ratio II has done, the u.
nited States will contain 32 millions, II OF
which will be in the Atlantic and eighteen
in the Western States. IL is plain therefore,
that unless the old States enforce their claims
TO share in the public lands, the time is not
far distant when they will have to yield the
whole.
Funeral of Red Jafkst--Ths funeral of
this great man, says the Albany Daily Adver-
tser, took place on Thursday, the 2lst nit. at

services where performed. Several of the
chiefs then addressed the audience in their
own language, recountipg the exploits Of the
deceased. The Buffalo Republican says, that
judgiag from their fixed attention. the trick.
ling tears, and the occasional bursts oEfeelIng
from the audience, 1t was plain that the ora
tors were dwelling upon scenes dear 10 many,
md touching the hearts Of their hearers, in
their unextinguished strains of native elO.

Signs Of improvement in the Hest. The
keepers ofscvsraI faro tables, have been
arrested in lranbfort, (Kentucky) and
committed 10 prison for illegal gaming.
Another has been senteaced TO paw 6ne
of 500 dollars, for keeping 4 table 10 play

of "luck" that is, We know not.
In New.York, last Salurday,a constable,
attempting 10 arrest black fellow on
landlords warrant, was seized and laid
upon blazing kitchen fire. He escaped
with little scorchng, and contrived to
get reinforcement and arrest the fellow

The Hornet.--A rumor hos got into the
papers, concerning the Herne., which re
wives hope ID very faint ONE, however;
that the officers and crew Of that vessel
may not be all lost. ave learn, says the
Ccntreyille (Mnrylund) Times, that Mrs.
Tlgbman, of Kent County, has received
letter from aor son Richard l.. T'ilghman,
who was a midshipman on board OF the
Hornet, which states, that the Hornet was
vrecked in the gale of Septmber 10Th, off
rampco--and that be and some others
we're taken from part Of the wreck and
carried to Spain. We did not learn the
names ofany Of the otlier persons saved,
or how many there were."
Our hopes in relation TO the fate OF the
Hornet have been so many times deceiv

yet we cannot but hope against hope that
this story may prove true. II true,it only

We perceive by notice in the .Naiiona
journal, that the late proprietor, Mr.
Peter Force, has transferred the establish

we are inclined to believe. that the Jour

and as highly as we esteem Mr.. Waiter
son, We cannot but regre, that Mr.. Force
has left the establishment.
