PENSION FRAups.-Several shocking cases
of frauds on the Pension office have been dis.
covered within the present year. An Attor-
ncy in Kentucky, who has held respectable
station in society, is now in confinement up
on such and other charges. A number Of
persons in Virginia have been detected a
mong whom are individuals of high standing,
and one of them Of the Legislature.
But the most shocking case was in YER
mont The guilty person was Robert Tem-
pie, Esq. formerly Pension Agent President
of the Bank of Rutland, and man of great
wealth, ono Of the first characters in that part
of the country. Alarmed at the prospect of u
publication of the Pensioners names, he came
to Washington; and attempted to bribc a clerk
in the office to alter the books aud make out
false lists for the printer; so as to conceal his
frauds. The clerk succeeded in drawing from
him a list Of about 60 cases, in which he de-
sired alterations to be made, or the names
omitted. lie promised to write under ficti-
tious name and left Washington. The affair
was then disclosed by the clerk to his superb
ors; and an investigation took place in tho
War and Treasury Departments, in which
many circumstances were developed tending
to strengthen the disclosures made by the
clerk. Mr.. Temple had been Pension Agent
in Vermont, until he was removed by Major
Eaton, when Secretary Of War, and it was
apparent that he had been playing the same
game while in the service OF the Govern
ment.
The clerk who made the disclosure was
now despatched with a companion to Ver-
mont, to secure the arrest OF Temple, and in
vestigute the cases there. After his depart
ure. a letter directed to him from New York; |;
g A.
fifty dollar note; and promising liberal re-
ward if he would accomplish the object II
was from Temple, under a fictitious namc.--
This was forwarded to the District Attorney
nt Vermont; under the frank Of the Commis-
sioner Of Pensions.
The messengers from Washington arrived
in the vicinity of Rutland, where the United
States court was sitting together on Friday
Some delay occurred in consequence Of the
District Attorney, being occupied in crimi-
nal case; and they did not enter the village un-
iii night-fall on Monday, and then found that
! Temple had committed suicide.
|. Itappeared that he had observed in the Post
Office, the letter to the District Attorney en-
closing his own anonymous letter with the
! $50 note, and induced the Post Master TO give
! il to him, under pretencc that he would deliv-
( er it, lie undoubtedly opened i, and as soon
as he saw It's contents, went to his house, took
his gun, retired to his stable, and shot himself
/ through the heart.
i The exten, Of his frauds is stll unknown.
IL is ascertaincd that many Of those for whom,
} he has been drawing pensions, are dead, and
some Of them died twenty years ago. Others
are supposed never TO have existed. II ID
coujcctured the amount thus obstractcd from
the Treasury, cannot be- less than $4,000
and il probably more. Mr.. Temple was {
high Jackson man.

HE inhabitants of Newport, are Informed
that Mr.. HENRY BARRIER, Bookseller, No.
l3}, Thamcs-street., Is appointed Agent for
this place, where subscriptions will be rcceiv-
ed, and numbers delivered.
THE FAMILY MAGAZINE, is period
ical whose object is to collect, condcnse, and
systematiZc the great mass of standard gen
cral knowledge, contained in works so nume-
-Ous and volulninous, as to be altogether be-
yond the reach Of mankind in general and
thus collected and prepared to place it by its
cheapness and comprehensiveness, within the
acquisition of all. 1t is, the erefore, just such
work as those need who, by being under the
necessity of attending to the ordinary vocal
tons of life, have not leisure to devote their
attention to letters which are ninety-nine
hundredths Of the community. And it is like
wise necessary to the remaining hundredth,
To refresh their memories with what they
have already learned. 1t is therefore a work
worthy of universal acceptance, and is worth
to any reader, five times its subscription price,
which is only the trihing sum of 81 so per
nnnunr-S! so, for a volume of 4l6 large oc
tavo pages of standard general knowledge,
cmbcllished and illustrated with more than
two hundred engrvings
The public are under a wrong impression
IN Supposlnn tnlS Wnrk IKE Tie Ichny ana
Peoples Magazines. In its plan of furnish
ing regular system of general knowledge F.;
Of giving things new and old; of inserting
additional departments, as fast as those on
hand are completed, until tie circle is finish
cd and Of bringing every thing into its ap-
propriatc place it is altogether unlike any
other periodical in existence. 1t is in these
respects, entirely original and is no more
like the Penny or Peoples Magazine, than a
literary and scientific ork,is like story book
for children.
There is one important advantage posses
scd by the FAMILY MAGAZINE over the Penny
Magazine, or any other foreign work what
ever. II is better adapted to this country just
as those publications are better adapted t.
the countries where they are published
Every periodical has certain portion of its
columns devoted to local matter, which is o
no manner Of interest, whatever, in another
country, but is of value at home. Hence, the
periodicals Of each country, are best adapted
to itself; and that is the place where the.
should be patronsrd and circulated.
