What will the Coalition prints say to
splendid reward which the Senate. in
their wisdom have seen fit to lavish on
Gales & Seaton' If their services, not
wlthstanding defeat and discontinue are
considered so much worth, Of what need
would they, and the other partizans of
the Coalition have been deemed WORTHY
1t their wiles and falsehoods had triumph
ed over the integrity and patriotism of
the American people, and enabled MIR.
Clay to realize his speculations on the

iquidate the loss of MIR. Chambers WA

In the House of Delegates bill ma

In the progress of the discussion Mr..
Gllmer objected to the proposed mode
oil appropriating the Bonus; contending
that it was better to give i, to the prima-

sent appropriated to primary schools, was
not sufficient to educate the poor; and
he therefore proposed to amend the a.
mendment, by striking out the appropri-

amendment was lost without division.

GREAT SWINDLFR:-sA1D TO HAVE GONE
TO HosroN.-Since Tuesday last an extraordla-

cautiie par, of the community, owing TO the re-
ported disappearance of a person who had estab-
lished a species Of B mixing and Exchange Office
in ST. Peter street, and who had built a vault tor
the security OF his treasure, a part of which IN
gold coius, real or forged was every day art
fully exposed in a caScd window. 1t appears
that he arrived i'll Nav from Belfast; he brought
no letter Of introduction, but sad he was broth
er Of a Member of the English H'use Of Com
mons, and was himself worth 100 to lSD,00G.-
He carried about his person heavy gold chains,
aud exhibited on every occasion handfuls OF So
vereigns.
The credit this person en- owed was at first not
considerable. and certainly those who observed
hi. proceedings closely, took HIM for a swindler.
However, he gradually gained confidence; he all
,ertised Bills of Exchange and English G''d f'r
sale. went 50 far as to ask deposit, in his bank,
Offering payment Of interest; he deposited a few
hundred pounds IN each of the ban.s. He sod
