MILITIA FINES. We noticed in our
last the treatment which a man named
Hurlick, collector Of militia fines in
Philadelphia, met with in that city,
He will probably have to give up this
disgusting business--for the excite
ment against him gathers force as it
goes on, as the following, from the
Philadelphia lntelligencer will shew:
Hurlick, the militia fines collector,
is mobbed almost every day Of his life.
The day before yesterday he was sur
rounded by several hundred boys,
shouting, pushing, and Pelting him,
until he was forced to take refuge in
tavern in fourth street. The crowd
without, having time to deliberate up
on furthes operations. deteIm mined up
on storming his place Of refuge. They
therefore provided themselves with
eggs and other missiles; and having
stationed themselves in such a way as
to give him a general salute, number
entered the house to force the poor
collector into the street First, how
ever, they pushed him partially out Of
the window, when an individu al on the
outside discharged bucket Of water
upon his hapless head. He was then
forced into the street and greeted with
a general discharge, Of rotten eggs.
Almost blinded and suffocated, he rush.
ed forward and broke through through
the crowd. They still, however, pur-
sued him, and he only escaped by leap
ing several fences, and hiding himself
in some private yard. The respectable
and orderly part ofthe community are
heartily tired Of these lawIess and ri
Otous scenes.
rive since learn that Hurlick has
been driven from hiscollectorship.

ENGLISH MANNERS.

The comforts Of British LegisI0fiOn.-
1t is not unusual, when midnight APP
lprOaches, to observe members in diff
ferent parts Of the house sound asleep,
which frequently, especially when di-
visions take place, give rise to the
most ludicrus mistakes. Some steal
away, says the Parliamentary Review,
INTO the reccsses and galleries, for more
undisturbed repose, and others 60 into
the library or the house ofIords, or the
nearest tavern or coffee room, for
change OF air and motion, aud are
locked out Oh the division. On one Of
the motions in committee on the East
India bill, Mr.. Spring Rice was fast
asleep in a recess Of the house on one
of the benches, and was counted in the
opposition against ministers, Of which
lac is an official colleague. On Mr..
Ruthven's motion against sInecures.
Mr.. Young and others, who were en-
dcavoring to get away, so as not to vote
at all, we're brought back to vote IA
gains: their own wishes.
On Mr.. Tcnnyson's motion for short
parliaments, col. Evans, who had spo-
ken in favor Of the motion during the
evening, was found fast asleep during
the division, and was counted among
the opponents Of the measure he had
spoke n to defend: and similar instances
are occurring almost every day. All
this is very discreditable; but the fault
is not so much in the members as in
the system. Nature dictates that they
should be in bed. The Ministers
who have it in their power at any time
to alter the hours and reform the rules
Of the house-insist that they should
be legislating land thus, while tor every
other duty in life, men are required to
be in full possession Of their faculties

FOREIGN NEWS.

PoRrUcAL. Don Pedro and his suite

The city rang with vivas!--and the

Ma Maria was about to leave Paris for

England have requested, or required,
that Don Pedro, shall not assume the

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

We find in the New York Evening
Post, Of Saturday. the following extra
ordinary article:
ave do not know that mention has
been made Of a new discovery in the
lithographic art, which is said to be
susceptible Of being extensively appli-
ed to useful purposes. An English
gentleman it seems has discovered a
method of transferring any printed
work-a newspaper for example-to
stone. IL s1!eh & 49, that the stone may
be ..1:.eola,-.y put TO press, and any
Of copies struck of, every one
a perfect fac simile of the original. 1t
is proposed, we are told, BY the assis.
lance of this invention, to republish
some of the London newspapers and
in this country; and VIM.
Jackson, the importer Of foreign books
n Maiden Lane, is about to reprint by
his same process, two or three of the
attest London novels, which will, Of
course, be perfect copies Of the London
edition, page for page, and letter for
etter.
If this be the case, the discovery of
perpetual notion and the ssphiloso-
hers stone" cannot be far off.

Retribution.-The Col. Woodbine, an
account Of whose massacre, in Carthage
ma, by band Of marauding negroes, we
publish to-day, it will be recollected, was
the chief instigator Of the butcheries CON-
mitted by the Seminole Indians on the
defenceless inhabitants of our Southern
frontier, and which were 50 signally
avenged by Gen. Jackson. Aware of the
fate which awaited him aud which he %
we'll deserved, ifhe fell into the hands Of
the Americans, he timely secured a re-
treat; but il seems he has not been per-
United to elude the punishment due to his
cruelties; it has overtaken him from
another quarter, and by similar agency
to that which he had hioself SO heartlcssly
employed in Florida.

The present high price Of cotton is
not likely TO receive any diminution
from the crop of this season, which 10
expected to be rather short than E.
ven an average one. The following
letter from the Hon. G.. McDufiie, Of
South Carolina, dated the LIST in.tant,
conveys some interesting and authen-
tic information on this subject.
"You ask my opininion Of the pre-
sent prospects Of the cotton crops, in
those parts of Georgia and South Car
DINA through which / have recently
travelled. | do not think there will be
more than average crops, even should
the season, in future, prove favorable,
and should there be frost as early As
the 10th of October, the crop will be a
short one. Casual observers and even
many planters are deceived BY the
luxuriant growth Of the weed, and
have been induced to make an extrav-
agant estimate. l never have known
so small a number Of pods in proper
ton to the size Of the stalk. Owing to
the excessive and long continued cold
rains in the spring, the cotton dad not
commence its growth until two or
three weeks later than usual; and
though the subsequent good seasons
caused it to run up rapidly and exhibik
a fine promise, am satisfied it will be
as much later than usual IN coming to
maturity as It was in commencing its
growth. Recently the forms have.fal-
len off very much owing to a heavy
rain Immediately succeeding a dry
spell, and during the cold nights Of the
last two weeks, the rust has made its

has been very destructive ON some
plantations. How far it will extend is

quaintance. have seen several plan
tiers from Burke County, some Of whom
have been in the interior Of Georgia,
and they all agree that the cotton is
backward, and that the
quantity Of fruit is unusually small"

THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS.

The following interesting sketch Of
the origin Of the Society Of Friends,
was elected during the debate on the
recent trial between the two parties,
before the New Jersey Court Of Chan
Cery:-
'''rhis society arose in England, a.
bout the year l647, amidst the storms
and convulsions Of the Civil Govern
ment, and at a period Of great rc,i-
gious excitement and freedom Of en-
quiry. The great deep desPotlsm
which had submerged as we'll the civil
as the religious rights Of mankind, had
been broken up by the agitations and
storms which had prostrased the infal-
libility Of Popcs and Priests; and over.
thrown and buried in one common ru.
in, the Divine rights Of Kings, Potcn-
tates and Priests, and its retiring waves
still exhibited the evidence of its fury
and the fragment Of its wreck. This
light Of the reformation had diffused a
general knowledge of the holy Scrip
lures. which the progress Of the art of
printing had brought within the reach
Of all. But it had borne in its train the
light ofthe OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

language Of one Of the prlmative Faith

Christian religion was indeed merged

its professors.
The benign Christian spirit Of toll
Grafton found no resting place in its

gospel, which operated not only IN
