The Third Anniversary Discourse before the
Virginia Historical Society, was delivered by
Judge Tucker; at the Hall Of the House Of De.
legates, on Wednesday evening last. II was
sensible discourse on the progress of philosophy
taken in its wider sense, as witnessed in recent
improvements in the arts and sciences, and in
the more general diffusion Of knowledge and
the advancement Of society.
After this discourse, Mr.. Maxwell, OF the Sc
nate rose and said that he was requested by
Mr. M'Carty, Of the Senate, to present the So
cety with pistol, which was the property and
part of the armour Of Capt. John Smith, the
founder and leader of the first Colony planted
in Virginia. Mr.. Maxwell held up TO the view
Of all present the harmless weapon, now without
a lock, and bearing other marks OF age, and
narrated in his (elicitous manner to deeply in
terested auditors, some of the chivalrous and
perilous incidents in the life Of the gallant
Smith, in which this pistol was probably used.
His address which can neither be printed, nor
well described, was admirably suited to the oc-
casion, and listened to with delight Christian

MYsTERIous- will be remembered, that we
sometime since noticed, an attempt, on the part
of some wretch, to poison the family of J. w.
Otis, ESQ. ofNew York. A reward OF two thou
sand dollars was and is still offered for the ap-
prehension orthe guilty, and we perceive from
late number of the New York American, that
an additional reward of one thousand dollars is
now offered for such information as may lead
to the detection and conviction of some person
or persons who have written, or caused to be
written, series of anonymous & libellous letters,
addressed to Mr.. Otis, and several OF his friends
These letters, ii is stated, have for some months
been distributed, partly through the Post Office,
and partly through the agency OF some person
who has left them at the houses OF the persons
addressed. The circumstances connected with
the attempt upon the lives of the family of Mr..
Otis, taken in connection with the anonymous
letters, rendered the affair one of character
altogether extraordinary and mysterious, and it
becomes the proper authorities of New York to
adopt legal measures CALCULATED to solve the mys-
tery. and bring the offender or offenders to JUS
tice We have heard various rumors in relation
to this matter, but we presume that they are
without foundation, and hence think it improper
to give them publicity.-PhH Inquirer.

The gentleman from Maryland, (Mr. Steele,)
was mistaken as to the fact of there being no in.
ouiry,-a court ofinquiry was held, and the on
" circumstances OF extenuation. was, that there
were females on board his ship, which prevented
him from returning the fire Oft the enemy. Was
there any member who thought this bill would be
got through during The present session! He
thought not. He asserted that The provision he
had offered was most necessary to be adopted.
Mr.. Burd, of Pa, said. Mr.. Speaker; the
question is, whether our navy officers are to take
their wives to sea with them. do not wish to
deprive them of this privilege, but, Mr. Speaker,
think they ought to take common lot with our
Jack Tars in this natter of whom 1t is said, they
find wife in every port they go to. Mr.. B. as
serted the noble, chivalrous and gallant charac.
ter of our navy officers; but. said he, do not
wish them to be encountered with their wives
and children, when at sea. In time Of peace
they may get wives. This may be permitted
But what business has lady on board a shp?-
Let not our officers be permitted to take their
wives and families with them to sea, to encum-
Der them. Mr.. Speaker, have done.
The amendment OF the gentleman from Virgil
MIA, was rejected.

TIE MEMPHIS MAIL.---There has been two or three failures of this mail within the last week. As this is the most impor- tant mail received here---in fact, more im- portant than all the balance of our mails together---a failure in its arrival at the prop CT time, is subject of general vexation. The Contractor is said to be at fault-with what truth we are unable to say. If 1t be true that the late failures are attributable to his negligence and want of exertion, he deserves to have laid upon him---and speedily too---the heavy hand of reform.

We have a severe duty to performs

We have severe duty to perform---a sad and meurnful event to record. A great man has fallen and passed from among ,s. ROBERT GF.i ; T . ! | our friend and fellow-citizen, Is no more. He died at Yicksburg, {Miss.) where he had gone on professional business, on the 18th utimo, of pleurisy.
 Arkansas has cause to mourn---her bright est ornament, and most distinguished son ---has gone down to an early grave. The sun of her CRITTENDEN has set for the last time. His death has made vacuum among her prominent citizens, which can not be filled. His loss will be senslbly felt and deeply deplored.
 By his friends his loss will be keenly felt---to them 1t cannot be repaired. No man ever lived, who could boast of warm CT friends, or deserved them better. That he had faults common to frail humanity, none will deny---but still, even they were virtues rather than foibles.
 Of the early history of MT. Cridenden, we know but little. He was born Iii Wood ford county, Kentucky, in l797, of highly respectable parentage. His father was onel
  of the early settlers of that State, andl fought his country's battles in our strugeleI for Independence. There is much in thef early career of Mr. O., that would be inter-f esting to his friends (if not to the public)E but we feel entirely incompetent (in the ab sence of dates and facts(, to give any thing s like correct narration---and, therefore, E shall not attempt 1t.
 At the early age of 21, Mir. Crittenden5 received the appointment, uncer the admin istration of Mir. Monroe, of Secretary ota this Territory, which appointment he helds until the close of the administration of Mr. John 0. Adams. During almost the } whole of the administration of Gov. Mil Ter, and part of that of Gov. Izard, (ins consequence of their frequent and contin-a ued absence from the Territory), the re- S sponsible duties of Acting Governor de- 2 volved upon him---which, together with his < duties as Secretary, he discharged with honor to himself. and advantage to hiss country. In his death the Arkansas Bar has lostS one of it's most prominent and talented members-as an orator and criminal pead- s CT, he stood pre-eminent and without al rival.
 But to his family, who are Jeff to mourng his untimely end---his loss Is greater thang all---by them his worth was known and ap-| preciated. A moro affectionate husbandi and tender father, never lived.
 We can hardly realize the death of ourl friend. It seems but yesterday that wei saw him in the bloom of health and manly vigor. But, alasl 1t is too true that he has "gone to that undiscovered country from1 whose bourne no traveller returns." Ashei had his share of troubles in this life, may we not hope---as we fervently pray---thatI he is now "where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest
