We have pleasure IN recording an instance Ill
which citizen of the United States nobly imProv-
ed the occasion which fortune presented OF doing
that which may, with propriety, be called great
act Of hospitality. The reader will find the cir
cumstance fully related in the page which con-
tains the shipping intelligence, and it is only re-
ferred to here for the purpose OF directing atten-
ton to that relation. We understand that Mr..
Burrows, the American citizen, whose noble con-
duct is here described, has been honored by let
ter from the President Of the United States, in
which his Excelency expresses the obligations ne
feels, as the Chief Magistrate of the Republic, to
the man whose liberality has reflected honor on
the country, and may even procure material ad-
vantage to it IN its relations with tne European
power whose subjectswere the objects Of that lib

Another I" abducfion''-rhe village OF Brook
lyn N. Y. was thrown into complete state OF
ferment on Friday, by the reported absence of a
Young lady, daughter Of respectable inaabitant
there. 1t was feared that the New York noosers
had made a grand descent on the village. and
would carry of all from thence who were fit for
dissection. An embargo was about to be laid on
the coast to prevent any communication with our
vile city, and corps du garde about to be estab-
lished to prevent the escape of the persons who
had already got on shore. 1t appears that the
young lady alluded to. who is aged about Is
wears, was sent on message in the morning
the forenoon; the afternoon passed on, without
her return. Search was made throughout the
village, enquiry was made on all sides, but with
out effect. At last, when night had almost ar
rived, an old beldame who lived near the resi-
dence of the young lady's father, informed him
that his daughter had gone to Paterson to get
married. :. The father FASTENED to Paterson, and
there he discovered that his daughter had really
been noosed-positively noosed in the matrimo-
rage, but was S,gsod time TO partake OF the ham
ouet prepared for the occasion. Y. Courier.

selves and enjoy more of this worlds comfort,
than any other community. They are temperate
and frugal, and consequently independent-of-

and consequently they enjoy all the benefits of

they have purity and kindness of manners, with

The last Uinter-The Camden and AmbOy
Railway Company are going on noby-every
difficulty gives way to their determined enter
prise. Even at this inclement season, large
number of fresh lands has just been put to work,
and the Directors are determined this shall be
the last winer of bad roads between Philadel-
phia and New York. A single track will be laid
next summer on the whole distance! What
public accommodation this will be! The steam
boats will not be 4nissed-the trip to New York
will be made in shorter time than ever, even
at the worst season oil the year.-Pha. Sat. Bm.
