NASHVILLE, Oct. Is.

The Colonization Society-The Ten.
nessce State Colonization Society held
its annual meeting in the Representa-
tives' Hall, in this city, on Monday
evening, 18th instant, Dir. P. LIMBS
LEY, President of Nashville University,
in the Chair. We had the pleasure OF
being present, and can truly sly that
great interest was impaired to the bust
ness Of the'meeting by an enlightened
and philanthropic Address from Mr..
BIRNEY, of Alabama, the agent Of the
American Colonization Society.
We admire this institution, and feel
the utmost veneration and respect for
the humane motives Of its founders, and
for those who are engaged in promo
ting its objects. 1t would afford US I'M
teigned pleasure to see all its generous
designs crowned with complete sue
cess.
There are various rumours in circu-
lation with regard to Mr.. Rush, of this
State. 1t is said on one hand that he
is about to be taken into President
Jackson's Cabinet, and on the other
that he is to be the Van Buren, and
anti-masonic candidate for the United
States Senate in opposition to General
NJ kean. The latter intimaton is the
most probable. We know that even
last year the kitchen cabinet desired
the election of Mr.. Rush to supply the
place vacated by the expiration of the
term for which Mr.. Dallas was elected,
and those who have watched the course
Of the distinguished anti-mason, know
that he has never taken ground against
the present Vice President, while those
who have watched the Globe may also
have perceived that whenever it has
mentioned Mr.. Rush, it has spoken Of
him favorably. We should not be sur
prised, therefore, TO see the Hon. Rich
ard Rush become a prominent member
of the Van Buren, party, although in
so doing he will topple headlong from
the high place he now holds in public

In the very interesting letter of Mr..
+. Champion, jr., a scientific gentle
man, giving an account of the eXplo-
sion of the steamboat New England,
he states that
"The law in England is, that every
boiler shall be tested quarterly, at three
times the strength it is licensed to use.
The safety valve is inaccessible to all
but the officer of the government.
Since this law, not a steamboat explo.
sion has happened in that land where
there is wisdom to conceive, and vigor
to execute laws of preservation. Their
proyident care of life shames and re.
proaches our Legislative indifference! !
1t is competent for Congress TO regu-
late this subject-lt is competent for
Inc states. Let there be no cavil upon
the power, as there is none upon the
DUTY The exposure of the lever and
safety valve Of the New England was
the cause Of the lamented destruction
within her."

Messrs. Carey & Hart of Philadel.

Messrs. Carey & Hart of Philadel-
phia, have just issued a little work,
which possesses interest for very
large number Of persons throughout
our country. 1t is entitled "The Prin-
cipes Of the Art Of Modern Horseman-
ship for Ladies and Gentlemen" trans
lated from the French of NJ. Lebeaud,
by Daniel ]. Desmond, Esq. The
subjoined note of the translator, deter
mines the great qucstion-on which
side of a lady equestrian the cavalier
is to ride.
"When a gentleman accompanies a
lady on horseback, he should take the
left side of her horse. The custom
Of taking the right side, is derived from
the English mode Of riding. The law
of England directs the left hand Of the
road to be taken; the gentleman there
fore takes the right, to protect the lady
from vehicles, &c. which pass on that
side. Here the law directs the right
hand Of the road to be taken; conse-
quently the gentleman should take the
left side ofthe lady's horse. 1t seems
to be best adapted to afford efficient as
sistance, whatever may occur. The
right hand of the gentleman is perfect
ly free. and may be used to stop the
horse, or rescue the lady from danger.
He can on this side aid her in olsen
tangling her dress, disengaging her
foot from the stirrup, adjusting her
reins, and lifting her off her scat,
without exposing her TO the accidents
which might occur to him, if he at
tempted to give her assistance from the
other side. 1t is not so easy to afford
assistance to the lady with the left
hand, nor is it SO easy for the rider to
command his own horse with the right
hand"

Conugal Lore-A late London Jour
nal contains an account of most eX-
traordinary attachment between hus
band and wife, demonstrating how
deeply the joys of welded life may be
implanted in the heart, and how fatal
the consequence is of their sudden up
roofing. The case occurred in lsling-
ton; it was this:-the vile of a poor
man had died--ho had approached the
coffin to take a last look, at the once
loved partner of his joys and sorrows;
between him and whom there had new
er been heard, in ffiy gears, the voice
Of disseution. AS his eye fell on the
inanimate form, he suddenly dropped
down, and, before medical aid could be
procured, died!
The reader may fancy what must
have been the happiness enjoyed by
such couple during the period offitty
years. How smoothly ran the strenm
Of their joys--how blended their affcc-
tions-how united their hearts, "Des-
tiny's relentless knife" could not sever
the tie which connected one Of them TO
life, without cutting asunder that which
bound the other!-PhH. Com. Her.

GUNpOWDER PLOT.

q
The following most foul and diaboll-
cal affair is copied from the New York
Journal Of Commerce. Every police
officer in that city, and every magis-
trate should be on the alert 10 dlscov-
CIR the perpetrator Of this shocking at
tempt at murder.
Pouder PIOt.-About four months
ago, Edward Wilcox, Esq. Of Wester-
ley, Rhode Island, and late Lieut.. Go
vernon of that State, received by a
soop from New York, a leather trunk,
with a label attached, stating that II
came from a relative in this city.
Something, however, excited the sus-
picions Of Mr.. Wilcox that il was not
a friendly present, and cautiously rails
ing the lid a very little, he discovered
cords within, 50 situated as to strength
en- his suspicious. He therefore set
the trunk aside, until more should be
known. A few days ago some young
men determined to open it. They cut
the cords carefully and opened the
trunk, when it was found to contain
two horse pistols, with the muzzles bu-
fied in upwards Of thirty pounds OF
powder. The cords were attached to
the triggers in such a manner that if
the lid had been raised few inches,
the whole would have exploded, and
dreadful must have been the effect.
The pistols have been sent to this city,
in the hope Of tracing out the murder
GUS villain, who, to crafty his malice
against an individual, would not only
have taken his life, but in all probabi-
lity the lives Of a whole family.
Our Trade wih Cu5a.-Wc have
heard repeated complaints from our
merchants, on account Of the advanta-
yes given to Spanish vessels in our
carrying trade with Cuba, by the Ia
riff laws Of that Island. Spanish YES.
sells pay one third less duty both on
their outward and return cargoes, than
American vessels; an inequality which
certainly requires the attention Of this
Government, as though our ship ow-
ners may contend against it for time,
it must at last result in throwing the
entire carrying business between the
United States and Cuba, into the hands
of the Spanish ship owners. This trade
is certainly large enough to require
the attention Of Government. 1t IS as
important to Cuba as to ourselves, that
it should be placed on the most liberal
basis; and we would respectfully sug-
gest to the merchants concerned, (ii
not sick of memorials to Congress,) to
present the matter to the view of the
Government, requiring that the RENE
dy should be sought either by negocia-
ton or countcryailing duties.
