The National Inteligencer of the 18th

The National Inteiigencer of the 18th
instant saws:
"Ihe depending question IN the House
OF Representatives, upon the reference to
he committee of ways and means of Mr.
Taney's reasons for the removal of the
public deposltes, has at length been taken.
So long debated, and not final
~ arris ed at but by the aid of the previous
question, The decision decides nothing bat
that The house is tired of the debate, aud
does not choose to instruct the committee
Of ways and means to report a bill or res
alution, directing the restoration Of The pub
Tic depnsites, before they shall have made
IA report upon the subject. But even this
much has been gained by the friends of the
measure of removal, in the fullest House
which ever sat under this government, BY
IA majority of four votes only. Had the
vacant seats been full, it is very probable
that even this majority would have been
converted into minority.
"The debate can only be considered as
suspended to be renewed on the first pro-
position which shall bring the question a
gam before the House."

100 DOLLARS REWARD.

IN Tuesday morning, between Fredericks-
" burg and my plantation, in the upper end
of Stafford, NEGRO MAN, and the MARE
on which he was riding, both belonging to me,
were stolen by a man who seems to have been
stranger in this part of the country. When
seen in possession of the Slave and ofthe Mare,
he was inquiring his way to Stafford Court
House. He is described to me as person be-
tween fifty and sixty years of age, with re-
markably white hair his stature stout and well
set. He wore a brownish coored stuff cloak.
The negro is between twenty-five and thirty
years of age, as well as is remembered; stout in
his person, and about five feet ten or eleven in
ches high: has drawing manner Of talking,
and appears to be much less sagacious than he
really is. His name is Jack. His dress was a
blue cloth cap, grey great coat, and his under
clothing drab cloth.
The Mare is fine large sorre without any
spot Of white about her, unless perhaps there
may be some few white hairs in the centre of
the forehead, not covering more than the size of
four-p -halfpenny. She is, as well as is
recollected going on seven years OF age; IS re-
markably long in her body; has long tail, and
it is remarkable where it joins the rump. There
may be discerned in the film ofone of her eyes
an incsion which was made year or two ago
to cure the hooks.
One Hundred Dollars Reward will be given for
therecovery of the above Slave and Mare or in
the rortion offour and two for the recovery OF
either. JNO. TAYLOE LOMAX.

NEW JERSEY LEGISLATURE.

MAN-WoRsHIr.-The extent to which THIS
odious-ths unmanly-this un-Amerlcan' as we
once believed, practice is carried, may De Judg.
ed of by the following resolutions introduced
into the Legislature of New Jersey;
Preamble Whereas, since the last adjourn
ment of Congress, the question mas oeeh us
tnctly put to the People of New Jersey, upon
the prominent measures OF the present Auiiii
nstration of the General Government anu
more especially in relation to the Unlted States
Bank, and their opinions, approving those mea-
sures, have been emphatically expressed through
the ballot-boxes:-Therefo
l. Be it resolved, By the Council and Generai
Assembly of New Jersey That they concur III,
and adhere to, the resolutions oil the Legislature
of this State, passed at their late session, relt-
tive to the removal of the depostes and re-cnal-
ter of the United States Bank, which resolu-
tions they believe, truly express the opinions Vi
the People of this State. -.
2. ReSOLred, That our Senators from this
State be instructed to vote for erpunglng from
the journals of the Senate of the United states
the resolution, adopted at their last session. &C.
claring "that the President, in the late Execu'
tive proceedings in relation to the puDnc reVe,
nue., had assumed upon himself authority and
power not conferred by the Constitution ana
Laws, but in derogation of BOTH"
3. Resolped, That the Governor be required
10 transmit copies Of the above to our Senators
and Members of Congress, at the opening OF
the next session Of Congress.
The questions Of removal of the depostes,
and the recharter OF the United States Bank,
are, so far as Congress is concerned, settled
yet, because it is thought personally acceptable
to the President to have his agency therein
again and again lauded, and the course OF those
who opposed him again and again censured, the
Legislature of sovereign State is called upon
to degrade itself by adopting such resolutions
as those above.
New JERSEY CoLLARED.-We find by the New
ark Daily Advertiser, that the Legislature have
passed the Resolutions published above

has heretofore enjoyed little less than Kitchen
canonzaton, for long time. During the recent
debate, however in the Rhode-lsland Legs
lature, on the subject of executive usurpations,
he had the temerity to acknowledge his convic-
ton, that National Bank was essential to the in
terests of the country, and at the same time to
ridicule the paltry electioneering humbug ola

upon as just about as wise and feasible, as cur

He is every thing that is base-every thing that
Is mean and unmanly. They abuse him at eve
w corner of the street-Thcy denounce him as
q time server, hypocrite and an office seeker.
They have dropped him as their candidate for
thc limited States Senate, and will probably take
m the honorable Dutee J. Pearce. This will
make very little difference to Mr.. Potter, to be
snre-for we take it that the chance Tor either
oftbem to be elected is very much like AN Blu

Indian Summer.-The weather, during the
whole of the beginning of this month, has been
unusually mild and soh-much more so than
October, which, comparatively speaking, was
wintry month. The course Of the seasons, thus
far, seems to be reversed-but the sun shines
out daily with all the transparency of our beau
tifu autumn. Now, indeed, the spring Like
temperature may be accounted for, perhaps,
from our Indian Summer having commenced; a
little haziness and smokiness begins to be per-
ceptible so characteristic Of that period in No
vember known by the epithet of Indian summer.
We believe it exists in no other latitude, and
various have been the conjectures to explain it,
none of which are satisfactory. 1t is like our
Indian corn, indigenous and peculiar to this part
ofthe temperate zone. Perhaps the Gulf Stream
and our inland seas may explain the phenome-
nOn-the humid warm south breezes from the
currents ofthe first, encountering the cold north
west blasts from the latter.-N. N. Star.
