 Matters and things inseneraI ].

ORIGINAL ANEcDoTE.-A gentleman found that a species of vegetables called l onions, were in the constant habit Of disap- bearing from his garden without an assign able cause, except the agency of little | negro of his. He accordingly applied the hickory very plentifully to the supposed de- lllnquent, notwithstanding his lamentable pfotesta;lons of innocence. 4 day or two after, he was surprised at the entrance into his room of the negro, preceded by for tnidable stench, and bearing in his arms certain grey animal, known commonly as the f10ieeaf. "llere, nlassa'' cried the ne- gro '.i tole you you whip me for notMn.-- Here 'em chap what steal the ingyun. l smell he bref.,'
 THE CHoLERA.-This disease, says the
 Bowling-Green {Ky.) Gazette, of the 2lst
 instant, ''has already re-appeared with some violence, so near as the county of Hardin
 within the present month. Several cases
 have occurred, of which few have termi-
 hated fatally.
 The Amherst Cabinet is under mistake
 i'll stating that the Boston Delegation, now
 on its way to- ashington, was appointed to present the memorial to "the Government
 Andrew Jackson, and request measures of relief, &c." The memorial is particularly addressed 10 Congress, and the Delegation l IS not even instructed to cali on the Presi- dent at all. The gentlemen who have gone to Washington may possibly call on the ] President, but not, as the Cabinet intimates, "begging for his royal favor."
 JACKSON MEMoRIALs.-These arequeer things. ii'fiie PPiittsbtrg memorial of a60; turned out 10 be one of only l36 taxable iil- l habitants, and voters. The Philadelphia memorial, or tie memorial of the linen of principle ill proportion to their interest," turns out to be 500, instead of4, 1000 and of these l,500, 500 have signed twice; some four or five times; and some are names
 manufactured for the occasion! Long life to Jackson, and the ''men of principle in | proportion 10 ther interest !o '. $. Ie!.
 .New- Orleans, Fet. 27.-The Supreme Court have reversed the deci sion of Judge
 Watts, as to the liabilities of steamboats belonging to mail contractors and actually employed in the Government service, to be attached and seized for debt. The reversal proceeds on the ground, that the law of Congress prohibiting and inficting penal ty in obstructing the passage of the mail does not apply to such q case as the pre- sent; that the provision is penal statue, pun ishing wilful attempt to obstruct or retard the mail, but does not preclude creditor from recourse which the law gives him against all the property of his debtor.
 The Government of New-G Grenada have contracted with merchant of Philadelphia for 10000 cyphering states and 100000 slate pencils for the use of the public schools in that republic. Half the quantity has al- ready been shipped for Santa Martha.
 The Senate of the Louisiana Legislature having passed bill pledging the faith of the State to redeem the bonds of the ''Citizens iaI, HaI,h,' '' recently recently ncerparaedio the amount of many millions of dollars, eighteen niem- bers of the lower house, 10 prevent the same bill passing that body, found 1t nessary to withdraw from the house, that there might not be left constitutional majority 10 act up- on the bill. They made publication, con- taining their reasons at length for withdraw ing, in which they state that the bill was about passing into law, through the inau- enee of stockholders, large number of whom were members, and insisted on voting upon the bill. It is probably very fortu- nate thing for Louisiana, that these mem l Eegs wiihdrew-the sum to be pledged for. we think was about fourteen millions.
