his oath of Office, power rather than duty; MI,
Leigh, in his speech on that paper, oeVeiopes
the attempt with much ability. he says
"President Jackson has discovered new

man could seriously look to the Presidents OH

On Saturday evening, the Goth, about ten o.

two cases shall be noticed viz: somewhere
about the middle of this month, at hshery IA

taken. And on the 2Sth inst, in like manner
were caught eleren thousand Shad at the same

Shad have been taken in great abundance at
various landings on the Potomac Herring
have been taken in profuse quantities at most
ofthe fisheries; and both Shad and Herring are
of superior quality, and the season has been,
in most instances, favorable for curing them.
The late frosts have been very severe on trult

as BALLOON ASCENSION an adjourned
meeting Of the Ward Committees, appointed un-
der the second resolution adopted at meeting
of the citizens of the District held Oil Friday,
the 9Th ultimo, at the City Hall, for the purpose
of promoting second ascension OF Mr.. Ash, II
was determined with the consent of MIR. Ash,
that his ascension should take place on Tuesday,
the 10th instant, from the ground north OF The
Presidents house, where an enclosure and SUIT
able accommodations will be erected TOR view
ing the interesting process of imitation
The general desire which has been express
ed. that Mr.. Ash should make a second ascen-
sion. and the unmingled qualification derived
from his first aerial flight, which was made at
great pecuniary sacrifice to himself, induce the
Committees to believe that Mr.. Ash's prompt
compliance with the wishes Of the citizens ofthe
District will be rewarded with such support
from them, as will amply defray any expense
which he may incur in yielding to their request
The price of tickets has been placed at the
low sum of so cents, and it is hoped and believ'
ed that the citizens Of the District will not be
content with being entertained at the expense OF
the eronaut but that every one will come Tor
ward and unite in contribution which the
Committee trusts will be creditable to the District,
and which is matter ofjustice to MIR. Ash.
