Ex-Sccretary lngham has made a long
address to the citizens of the immediate
ncchborhood in which he lives This
address was called out by communica-
ton from a committee appointed by the
friends of Mr.. Ingham, soliciting inior-
nation as to the cause of his dismissal by
Gen. Jackson from the management of
the Treasury department. Mr. lngham
rcitcratcs his former assertions relative
to the design and attempt by Eaton and
three or four of his brothersin-law,
clerks in the War Office under him, to
way-lay and assassinatc him Nlr. |. on
his passage to the Treasury department.
Mr.. ingham declines giving 'the rca-
sons" as called for by the committee;
and informs them that it belongs to the
President to communicate those reasons,
and expresses an opinion that no doubt
Gen. J. will deem it to be his duty to in
form the public, particularly, as to the
reasons that induced him to cut a drift all
his cabinet ministers, confidential adyi-
scrs, and in former times, his bosom
friends. We shall be glad to sec the
Presidents account of this view it as
YOU will, disgraceiul affair.

are suffering under the pangs oil poverty,
and the notifications of dcserton and
solitude, the world saith, with il most ed
flying gravity, "thc young gentleman 3
friends did not approve Of the match"
A young man comes to his fortune as
soon as he comes of age lie buys
horses, and dogs, and runs races, and
lays bets, and plays at cards, and loses;
he gets into scrapcs and fight duels, and
he finds himself none the richer for his
winnings, and much the poorer for his
losings; and if he cannot spend or lose
his money fast enough himself, he has
myriads of friends, who will borrow it OF
him, and do their bests to assist HIM IN
dispensing it. Then at last he smashcs,
or is done up, and then all the world with
its long mosal phiz, says-''What pity
it is that his Gicnds led him into such on
Itravagance"
AT midnight there is noise in the
streets, women are shrieking and men are
ihallooing, and some are calling for help;
and there is a well-dresscd man swear
inc at a constable who attempts to hold
him, s. the wcll-dressed man has obvious
y rolled in the dirt, his hat is as flat as "a
pancake, his eyes are red as herrlngs, *
his tongue is like weathercock in the
whirlwhind, and he must be trussed like
Il bullcd rabbit before he can be manag
ed; and all the account he can give of
himself the next morning, is that he had
been dining with few friends.

AN EXCELLENT LESSON. The bear mih
The Tea -KcHlc.-The following anccdotc
evinces the hardhood of bears. Fish
which forms their chief nourlshmcnt, and
which they procure for themselves from
the rivers, was last year excessively
scarce. A great famine consequently
existed among them, and, instead of re-
firing to their dens, they wandered IL
bout the whole winter through, even III
the streets of St. Peter and st. Paul, in
kamschatka. One Of them finding
the outer gate Of house open, entered,
and the gate accidently closed after him.
The woman of the house had ust placed
Il large tea machine, fill Of boiling wa
ter, in the court. The bear smelt it,
and burnt his nose: provoked at the pain,
he vented all his fury on the kettle, fold
ed his iore-paws round it, pressed it with
his whole strength to crush it, and burnt
himself, of course more and more, the
horrible growl which rage and pain fore
ed from him brought all the inhabitants
to the spot, and poor B,uin was soon des-
patched by shots from the windows. lie
has however, immortalized his memory
and become a proverb among the towns
people; for when one Injuries himself by
his own violence, they call him "the
bear with the tea-kcttle,"

The FARMER's DAUGHTER AND THE
RoBBER. Some years ago, farmer
living a few miles from Easton, Penn.
sent his daughter on horseback co that
town, to procure from the bank smaller
notes in exchange for one of one hun
dred dollars.
When she arrived there, the bank was
shut, and she endeavored to effect her
object by offering it at several stores,
but could not get her note changed
She had not gone far on her return, when
a stranger rode up to the side of her
horse, and accosted her with so much
poltencss that she had no suspicion OF
any evil intention on his part. After
riding a mile or two, employed in very
social conversation, they came to a very
retired part ofthe road, and the gentle
man commanded her to give him the
bank note. Ii was with some difficulty
that she could be made to believe him in
earnest, as his dclncanor had been so
very friendly; but the presentation Of a

THE DOUBLING FRENCUMAN.

Il shall get some sleepe neyaire. Mons. .uorJIeu-
In years by-gone, when Rockaway
was the focus of fashion as a watering
place, and before Saratoga and Ballston
had superseded it, the halfway House at
jamaica, used to be full with travellers
on their excursions, who generally stay
cd there over night, and pursued their
journey to the sea shore in the morning.
One warm summers evening, when the
house was unusually crowded, an En-
gllshman rode up in gig, and asked for
accommodation for the night.

Of supper and lodging with French gen
tleman up stairs.
Trareilcr.--"No, | wont sleep in the
same room with any ID French
man." and off he rode with all the glum
looks of real John Bull.
In about half an hour, however, he
came back, and said he believed he
"must put up with it," But this express
sion about the Frcnchman, had by some
means reached that gcntlcman's cars,
who had determined, being stout man,
upon the course of his conduct towards
his visiter. The Enolshman stalkcd in
to the room-the Frcnchman was all
smiles and bows--John Bull slightly
nodded and sat down as grum as bear
About an hour elapsed without either
speaking, when the Englishman got up
and gave the bell cord pull. The
Frenchman started also from his seat, s
gave the string tro pulls Up came the
waiter, (who had received his cue be-
iore) and awaited orders.
BulI.-"Waiter, cook me some sup

/ Frenchmon.-"Yes, vaitairc, you cook

Bull stared, and looked grim--the
Frenchman elevated his eyebrows, and
took a huge pinch of snuff, Supper be-
ing ready, the following scene took place
at the table.
Il BuH.--"Waiter, bring a bottle of

\ Frenchmon.--"Voitaire, come bacl,

FRIENDs.-Every thing that Cicero
has said in his treatise de ,Am;ciiid is very
fine, and very good, and very true but
he does not seem to have been altogeth-
er aware of the tulncss of meaning con-
tanned in the word friends. a man in
vitcs few friends to dine with him.
They come, they eat, they drink, they
talk, they criticise, they depart. They
have praise and blame for the cook, and
they speak learnedly of the wine, and in
nine cases out of ten, somewhat sensori-
ously of the host. For either he has
been too ostentatious in his liberality, or
too niggardly in his hospitality; and he
seems almost required to ask pardon of
those he has fed for the manner in which
he has fed them. Then the entertainer
becomes in his turn the entertained, and
takes his turn also in the delights of Gull
nary criticism, and friendly ccnsorious-
ness. These are friends by the table,
cemented by the various combinations OF
fish, flesh and fowl, closely adhering Sc
long as that lasts which holds them to-
gether! but that falling, they fail, s de-
part and separate.
A man grows rich and rises in the
world. Forthwith he hears, or may hear,
if he have patience to listen to them, sage
lectures upon prudence, and many edily-
ing dissertations on discretion. And he
receives many humiiating lesson, and
observes many an altered look and he
has great deal of pity and very little
help, and he is recommended in the most
delicate manner imaginable not to spoil
the pleasure Of his prosperous acquain-
tance by his unprosperous presence; and
while he fancies that he has not friend
in the world, he is given to understand
that his friends are very sorry for him, &
his friends, as all his friends say ought to
do something for him; but unfortunately
he has tired his friends all out.

The DUKE OF REIcHsTADT, You've
NAPoLEoN,) AN officer of high distnc-
ton, now in the Austrian service, is pos
sessed of several orders, amongst which
is that Of the iron crown, which was con-
lerred upon him by Napoleon! !at the time
when he was fighting under the imperial
eagles. This officer had alighted, a
short time back, at the Belvedere pal
ace, in Vienna, when he was met by the
young duke, who was descending the
stair case. As soon as the prince saw
him, he stopped short, and fixing a scru-
tinizing glance Oh the orders which the
general wore, exclaimcd--"Surcly it
was my father who presented you with
the iron crown" eyes your highness,"
replied the officer, 81 received it from
the Emperor Napoleon" "Iou must
have amply deserved it, sir" returned
the duke; 'tor | know he was sparing in
bestowing it.-You have every reason
to be proud of TT will be readily
imagined, that the general was too much
astonshed at the remark to be capable
ofmaking a reply. The duke, however,
upon observing his as!Onishment said
with much feeling, 81 must allow, sir,
that you have some reason to feel sur
prised. The world has but very con-
fined notion of the manner in which my
years have been spent; and conceives
me to be but inperlcctIy acquainted with
what concerns either my father, his
country, or his subjects. But, one Of
these days, | am in hopes the world will
be undcceivcd on this point" Indeed,
if we may believe the report of officers of
various services who have visited the
Austrian court, the Duke Of Reichstadt
is passionately devoted 20 military science,
and has studied it to much effect, under
the able guidance of his uncle, the Arch
duke Charles, whose attachment to
young Napoleon is that of father to
his own child

INTELLIGENCE OF BIRDs.-A gentle
man few doors from us relates the fol-
lowing A son of his, in the early part
of the season, put up cage in his gar
den, intended for the blue bird Soon
after it was completed, pair of wrens
paid it visit, and being pleased with
the tenement, took possession, and COM
menccd building nest Before howcv-
er, the nest was completed, pair ofbuc
birds arrivcd-lad claim to the cage, s.
after hard battle, succeeded in ousting
the wrens, and forthwith completed Il
nest on plan of their own. But the
male wren was bird of spirit, and not
disposed to submit tamely to the injury,
some days after, watching his opportuni
ty when his antagonist was away, he en-
tered the cage and commenced rolling
the eggs out the nest. He had thrown
out but one, when the blue bird discover
ed him and with loud cries made an inn
mediate attack. The wren sought safe
/ ty in Il neighboring current bush, and by
his activity in dodging about among the
branches and on the ground, succeeded
in cudng his enragcd adversary. The
blue bird gave up the chase, and return
cd to examine the condition of his nest
The egg had luckily fallen on soft bed
and was not broken. After a careful eX-
animation, he took it in his claws and re-
turned it safely to the nest.

A BRANcHING HYrocRITE.-A pro-
icssor of religion, with more sound than
substance, was about closing his family
prayer one bitter cold morning, when he
heard some one knock at the door.
Thinking this a good opportunity to dis
play his religious zeal, he went over his
whole prayer again before rising from
his knees, and kept the door man wait
ing till he was almost irozc. AT length
bidding him come in, he said with a sat-
isiicd air, Didn't branch out well;'-
'WelI, or ill., replied the other, shiver-
ing with the cold, I'd thank you next
time to finish your prayer when you get
through with it, and not keep poor man
waiting till he's froze to death. D.
take such branching out Isay.'

When these were opened, they were
found to contain, besides a quantity OF

good one, and when saddleG and bridled
was thought to be worth at least as much
as the bank note that was stolen.
