For the Delaware State Journal.

With much satisfaction and real fellow
feeling perused communication in your
paper over the signature of MORPHEUS. rela-
tive to the superabundance of dogs, and
useless annoying puppies in this city of ours;
it is indeed dangerous and an increasing
evil, and perhaps not generally known that
we have regular boarding houses in this
place kept by some of our coloured popula-
ton, for the express accommodation OF the
canine species, and as soon as the city author
tiles of Philadelphia adopt rigorous measures
to persevere the peace Of their well ordered
city, host of dogs, are hidden from the
arm of the law there, and suffered to run at
large thro' all, or any of our streets. not only
to the discomfort of the citizens, and terror
of the children, hut mourning the risk of hy-
drophobia and all lis attendant horrors
strangers who visit us, are disturbed the
whole night by the incessant yelping Of thu
ll-mannered ours, and very naturally inquire
if there is any dog law ip this place? (which
am not able 10 answer, although l ma.

The United States Gazette, a few days
since, noticed the measure adopted by the
Trustees Of the poor of this county, IN conse-
quence of certain vexatious proceedings of
the Philadelphia authorities, in reference to
foreigners landing in this State. The Ga
zette seems to regard it as contest between
the authorities Of the two States, as to who
should get 'the cream of the business into
their own hands," We trust no such unwor-
thy motive operated in the legislation of eth
er State:--Speaking for our own State, we
dsclaim it altogether. The law of Delaware,
by which head-money is charged upon TO-
reigners landing within its limits, is intended,
like the law of Pennsylvania, alluded to by
the Gazette, to defray the expense of sup
porting such as, by poverty or sickness, may
become public charge. The law which
formerly existed, required the captain of a
vessel arriving with foreign passengers, to
give security to save the county harmless.
This law was found to be entirely inadequate
to the purpose; and in 1929, the present law
was passed requiring each passenger to
pay one collar to the Treasurer of the
poor, upon his landing. This is the law
which has given so much offence to our neigh
bors of Philadelphia, who, it seems, have a
similar law, and who now charge us with
stalking the cream" from them, because,
forsooth, some ship-loads Of passengers pre-
fer landing at Wilmington or New Castle, to
Philadelphia. Some of these passengers go
to Philadelphia, some remain and settle in
Delaware, and some So directly into the inte-
rior Of the country. Those who go to Phila-
delphia are subjected, we understand, to vex-
atious and illegal interruptions and delays,
by the city or State authorities, in Philadel-
phia, because they happen to- pay their head
money in Delaware, where they first landed
or, in other words, because all the capitator
money of all the foreigners that arrive in the
river Delaware, are not paid into the poor
treasury of Philadelphia, although probably
not one-tenth of them remain in the city! WE
think the Editor will perceive, upon further
consideration, that this quarrellng for ttht
cream" is paltry business upon the part o
our neighbors.

Obituary.

DIED, of Hydrophobia, on Friday the 28th
of June, at o'clock P. M. ANNE, daughter
of ROBERT MITCHELL, of St. Jones' Neck,
in Kent County, in the 18th year of her age.
The decefsed complained, from the Mon
day previous to her death, of an aching
throughout her system, accompanied with
vague feeling of anxiety and apprehension.
She attended, nevertheless, to her work, as
usual, until Wednesday afternoon about three
o'clock, when, upon going to the well for
drink, the spasmodic sensation produced Ivy
the approach Of water, gave the first symp
toms characteristic of the malady by which
she was attacked. From that period, her
spasms gradually increased in frequency and
violence, and were accom- panied with severe
pains in her head and the lower part of her
breast.
The family never suspected the nature of
her disease, until the morning Of the day up
OH which she died: when, upon being asked
by one of them if she had not been bitten by
Ia dog, she replied, that she had not been Bit
ten, but that she had allowed little dog,
which had subsequently run off, and been
killed as mad, to lick small sore, produced
by a scratch, upon her heel, medical aid was
then resorted to for the first time.
The deceased appeared to retain her SEN
SEES perfectly throughout her illness, and e.
wheel not the slightest disposition to injure
any one in attendance. She lived twenty.
eight days from the l'criod when the Virus i:
supposed to have been COMMUNICATIVE
days from the commencement of her indispo
sition-and fifty four hours after the convul
sive sensations at sight of water, gave the frs
clue to the nature other disease.

RETURN OF THE PRESIDENT. The unex-
pected and rapid return of the President to ,
Washington, has been for some days past the
leading topic of comment and conjecture a
mong politicians. 1t is, too, a cause of griev-
GUS disappointment to many loyal hearts,
which were anxiously expecting his return,
by another route, full charged with oily elo- !
quence and fragrant incense to be showerca
upon the hero. We sympathizc, especially
with our Jackson friends in this town ana

were as we'll prepared to do honor to Them
selves and to the hero, as in any place he has
visited, Lowell alone excepted. The VIII
mngton girls are not so well d'sc'pi'neo DIS
those ofLowell, and therefore they were not
invited to ioin the procession to welcome the
approach of the conquering hero. we have

ENGLISH AFFAIRS.
A long debate took place in the House of Lords
on the 3Oth May, on the subject of the Abolition
of Negro Slavery in the British West Indies. No
decision was had. and Lord Allhorp stated that
the subject must take Its chance" on the 3lst
May after the discussion ofthe Bank question. In
reference TO that question Lord Althorp, to o
queston by Sir Robert Peel, stated that he should
positively bring the subject up on the 3lst May,
with the view of holding proper consultations
thereon. The Times of 31st says,
We nave read an excellent pampheiet on the
Bank Question, entitled can Impartial Inquiry,
by Merchant. The author shows conclusively
that the Bank might well allow deduction o.
more than 100, 900 from the sum id it by Gov

Iduction is not to amount to higher sum.

ground that the inquest was contrary to the fact

prehedsible to the meanest understanding:
A TIMELY HINT.
The treatment we have received from some of
the leading members of the Jackson party in this
city and county, is so gross and unprnciped in its
nature, that we must inform these gentlemen, that
unless they make satisfaction both becil,a-
~ and honorable, touching matters connected with
the last election, shall give the public history of
the whole affair, that our friends may know, in
what manner the money they contributed has been
made use OF. We have history of this matter pre-
pared, and would advise the individuals concerned,
II they intend doing any thing the subject it will
probably be we'll for them to act before the latter
mart of next week. We are much mistaken, if we
do not place some, who have been considered our
most honorable and prominent men, at least in no
enviable situation. In addition to history of this
affair, we shall make full development Of names,
character, and private conversation They will
probably not find us such ounces as their bearing
towards us would seen to indicate. We are ready
to meet them on their own ground, and it we do
not find redress, il will be because the laws of the
land will not give it us. word to the wise j:
