cured Re the Whtg Stale C0HVeution, which shows, tn bOlder relief thanany thing we have before seen, the astounding change of public sentiment. While the Delegates were tn their Committee Room, it was proposed to ascer- tain how many of their number were among the original friends and supporters Of General Jackson for the Presidency. For this pOr- pose, those who had been the political fr;ends of Jackson were desired to range themselves on ,he side of the room opposite to that Oc- cupied hy the other Delegates. In this way it was ascertained that So Delegates, or One- third of the ,UhOLe nwmber of the DeEeg0t's to the WHig Convention scere the eGFEr and ardent friends of General Jackson! But all the pro- fessions and hopes which led them to h's sup
 port were disappointed. All his pledges Of
 fidelity to the country have been viOlated.- Gen. Jackson promised, if elected, to estab- fish the precedent of serving hut one term That pledge was forfeited. He promised to arrest the practice of appointing members ot Congress tO office. That promise was tor gotten. He solemnly pledged himself to 'n- truduce retrenchment and reform" That
 pledge is falsifed. He promised to prevent "the patronage the Government from com ing into conflict with the freedom Of EIec- ti"ns." That promise has been most shame
 fully disrpgarded. He prUmised to '' cleanse the Augean Stable ;". but instead Of dOlnS so,
 he has rendered it tenfold more filthy and
 loathsome than it ever was before. In sh"rt'
 he has forgotten and falsifed all the Profes-
 sions and promises which secured t" h'm the
 confidence of the people. Is it strange. there
 fore, that the people should abandon an Ad-
 ministration which has thus disappointed their
 hopes and betrayed their interests!
 Apples.-There has not been such a scarci- ty of apples in this part of the country since the year l794. The cold weather in May de-
 stroyed almost all the fruit On the hills and in 1 the valleys. Some persons have Jew aP-
 pies and W ill make small quantity of cider, hut the greater part have hardly enough for apple pies, and will be destitute of cider, ap- pie sauce and winter apples. s" far as we ; have obse, ved, there are more apples on the ] trees in the c:eatlOws and low lands near Con 1 uecticut river, than any where else. We have ] heard old people make the same remark ID regard to apples in l794.-Humpshire GGz. Prince Esterh0zi.-The London cOrrespOn- dent of the N. Y. Observer says he has as- certained that the coat. which is part Of the court dress of prince EsterhaZi, an AussrIaO l in London, cost ElO0,000 sterling, or 444'OOO dollars, and he estimates that the other parts of the same dress cost as much as the coat. l It is said that every time he wears the coat. l it costs him about 1000 dollars tO make good the jewels which are brushed and shaken oil 1 in company. His whole person sParkies with
 jewels. This is one way of sq"ander'ng the
 wealth derived from the tolls of the poor Aus
 trians and Aungarians.-lb.
 l Curious TNefl.-A lady, who announced l herself as countess. lately waited on pny-
 sician of Paris, distinguished for her skill m
 cases of insanity, and expressed to him her anxiety in respect to her son, who had, as { she said, exhibited decided, symptoms ot de. 1 rapgement, and was perpetunlly taik'ng of certain JliamondS, which he had bought or
 sold. His parents, she declared. we're wholly
 at a loss to discover any cause for this mono mania, and were sOicitOus to obtain the ad- vice of SO eminent a person. She therefore
 promised to bring the young man to him the
 next day. that the doctor might take him un-
 de, his charge. The physician expressed his conyicton that he should be able to reach the bottom of the case. and the lady entered her brilliant carriage and departed. On the tO!' lowing day, she drove to the shop of fash ionabln jeweler. and ordered jewels to the value of ten thousand francs hut having un- luckily notes only of the amount Of six thou. sand in her purse, she took the jewels, and ordered the jeweler to direct one of his clerks to accompany her in her carriage to her hus- band. who would pay the residue. The clerk took his seat, and the carriage drove to the physician's house. The lady met the doctor, and told him that she had brought hlm her son, whom he might examine in private; and returning to the carriage, directed the clerk to go into the house and receive the amount Of his bi She then entered the carriage, which was driven off with singular expedition. The young man in the mean time had encounter ed the physician, and demanded the money for the jewels, with SD decided an air of in- sanity, that brief confinement was consider ed indispensable, as preliminary to his final cure. After season, however. a suspicion of the truth flashed upon the doctors mind, and brief explanation was sufficient to throw abundant light upon the whole affair. The pretended countess was not heard Of alter wards.-Bos. Dai. Ado.
 The Pennsylvania Inquirer. under the head of infatuatiOn, tells the story of a young lady of family who abandoned hnme, married. in opposition to her family's wish, young man guilty of theft and forgery. and who had brO-
 ken prison, all of which facts sha well knew;

 that nothing could restrain her. the power Of

 umphing over her judgment. hazarding her
 happiness and prospects "f life.
