York. But that over New York seemed
to settle away again and leave it all dark
as ever. / don't know what the light
could be unlesc it was the flashing OF
Jackson guns or some SIGH things. But
since that, there has been great light
streaming up and spreading all over Mas
sachusetts, and il is SO clear and bright,
it looks more like break4a-day than any
thing I've seen yet. l don't think but
what folks better be getting ready fof

be light enough to see who is who before
another year comes about.

american Antiquities.-Tn making
excavations in the gold region Of this
State, not long since, buildings regular.
ly erected were discovered under the
earth. Traces have also been met
which prove that the mining business
has, al some time, been followed in
the same district Of country as we'll as
in N. Csrolina-by whom, or at what
period, it is impossible now TO discov.
err. The mounds of the west have long
been a subject of interest TO the travel
Ter, and speculation to the anliqusry |;
but writer from Arkansas, in the
Charleston Observer, states some facts
yet more interesting. On the banks
Of White River, he says, you can see
the brick foundation Of houses--a few
miles further, six hundred and forty a
ores of land are inclosed by a wall, in
the centre Of which is a circular build
ing-,here is also in the same neigh
borhood the ruins of a city; and pa
raIIel streets, crossing each other at right
angles, may be traced by brick founda-
tons one mile 10 length, the bricks Of
modern shape. The whole west is
rich in objects ofinterest to tbe antigua
rian and The naturalist.
By the accounts of Mr. Flint and
other travellers say .ae Western pspels.
i, appears tina, sne impress ofthe leaves
of the frp;s tree and the bamboo, have
frequebtly been found in the peat beds
and fossil coal formations in the neigh.
borhood Of the Ohio. Pebbles of dis
ruption--vast earth and sands, speci.
mems oforganic, animal, and vegetable
remains, belonging to a tropical eli.
mate, clearly indicate some important
extensive changes occasioned by FIRE OF
water, in the whole great valley Of the
Mississippi. Then the regular wells,
the bricks, medals, the implements Of
iron and copper, buried in q soil which
must have been undisturbed for ages,
with the alphabetical characters written
on the cliffs, plainly show that other
races Of men have existed and passed
away. And what world, says MIR.
Flint, must that have been, when the
mammoth and the megolonyx ,rod the
plains, and mons,rous lizards, whose
bones are now rescued from the soil,
and which must have been at least 80
feet long, reared their heads from the

Mir. Editor-We notice an ariicie in yOnn paper. stating the final decision # th. Circuit Court in the case of John Amrs. against us. It is true that the motion for new trial, spon the grounds set forth Herein, was refused hy the Court hut it is not true that the validity of Amrs's Patent is completely established. On the contrary. we have no doubt, that on the future trial, abundant testimony. not of- fered at the former tria, will he prod Icrd, which will be sulicient to invalilaie the Pa tent. We are ourselves in possession nf new and additional evidence. sufficient of itself to produce d different result should Mr. Ames venture to try the validity of the Patent, in a suit against any otherrof the numerous manu- facturrrs--none of whom, we believe, will acqniesce in the present decision.

We have asceFtaincd the truth ofa remark. ah!e circumstance reported yesterday, hut much doubted. A few weeks ago the Mayor received an anonymous letter from LouisriIle tn Keniucky, informing him that, On the first fair Sunday, aIler the time when the letter would probably reach hiua, an attempt was to he made, by experienced and skilfll rogurs, to enter and rob one of She Philadelphia Banks. The intelligence thus conveyed to Mir. Swift, was immediately seGt by him to the Cashiers of all our Banks: ihOngh both he and they then thought ii not improbable that the writer was a hOarer.-fb.
 An intimatiOn somewhat similar tO that spoken of above, was also communicated some weeks az" to our police, and through them tn the Banks: and it led on the part of the latter, to additional precautions for insur- ing th" safety oftheir premises.

The deposits will not On- ly not be changed or restored to the United States Bank, but probably d seize .fdcios will be issued against the Bank. The only obsta- cle is. that the charter requires it to be done in Philadelphia. The President directs it to he done arre. The majority for the Bank in the Senate is strong; in the House of Repre- sentativcs il will be small against the Bank, say from 10 to 20. You probably, have nO- ticed the proceedings in Ohio.

Hsogy loss bg SkiPsprtSk. Fowler, of the ship Orleans, which arrived yesterday from N. Orleans, brings the unpleasant ti- dings of the loss of the ship POniiff, Captain Hathaway. of this purt. The POnlitf sailed from New Orleans about the middle Of De- cembpr, buund to Havre. and was shipwrrck- ed on Florida Reef, on the goth of December. We learn that the crew and a portion of the cargo would be saved-shp totally lost. She had very valuable cargo on board. consisting of about 1900 bales of cotton.
