" BoxIANA This is definition given
to the science of self defence by Messrs.
Burke and Owen, who give an exhibition of
the same at the Theatre, in Shipley street,
this evening, Saturday. at half past seven
o'clock, with other entertainments. Mr..
Burke, better known as Deaf Burke, will
perform, in pantomine, the celebrated We

strength as to astonish and surprise the
world. For further particulars see adver-
tisement in another column.

OUR OWN AFFAIRS.

We would do violence to our own feel
ings, were we to neglect returning our most
sincere thanks to our friends for the many
additions that have been made to our sub.
scription list since our removal to this city.
Upwards of One Hundred have been re.
ceived within three weeks, and our other
business Increased in nearly the same pro-
portion. This has far exceeded all our ex-
pectations, and in return we shall endeavor
to make our paper more interesting by oh.
tanning lato information from the south by
means of tho Express Nail, and also by
engaging the assistance of one or two gen.
tlemen of talents as regular correspondents.
For the kind notices of our new sheet by
our brethren Of the press we are much in.
debtod, and particularly so to tho conduct
ors of tho daily prints in Philadelphia
The following from the Baltimore Gazette,
"a neutral paper,) and tho Republican, pub
lished in the same city, we insert in order
that our renders may understand how "The
Delawarean" is received by our distant
friends.

of course its name but has lost no.

THE DELAwAREAN.--We have
received the first number ofthe Della.
warean, which is a continuation ofthe
New Castle Gazette, published by e
f. Camp. The establishment has
been removed from New Castle to
wilmington IN consequence of which
the title OF the paper has been chang.
ed. 1t is printed on large imperial
sheet, is executed ina very neat and
handsome style, and is conducted in /
very able and interesting manner
Mr.. Camp has laboured zealousIv and
faithfully in the good cause, will con,
time to pursue the same political
course, and is entitled to, and we hone
will receive a liberal support.

MIssrssIrrI.-The State Rights Banner,
a Wing paper, published 81 Capitol, un-
der date of the 24th ult. So that Missis.
sippi has gone for Mr.. Vaf aren by ma
jority of about 300 votes. E

been appointedby die Executive of Maine,
in the recess of the Legislature, to DO a
Senator of the United States, to fill the va
cancy occasioncd by the F'NgRation of Mr..
Sheplcy.
MAssAeHUsErrs.- Electoral vote of
this State has been given to Daniel Webster
for President, aud Francis Granger, for
Vice Pre'icent. The Wings of Massachu-
sets have too much regard for former prin.
ciplcs to support General Harrison. They
have SCI their friends throughout the coun-
try, an honest example to say tho least of it.
VIRGINIA has given her electoral vote TO
Martin Van Buren,, for President and Mr..
Smith Of Alabama, for Vice President
This will cause an election of Vice Presi-
dent by the Senate. Richard M. johnson
son will certainly be elected. Judge R. Z
Parker, of Clarke county, has been chosen
by the Legislature Senator of tho Uni.
ted States, to supply the vacancy occasioned
by the resignation Of MIR. Leigh. The vote
was for julie Parker. Z Republican, rs
for John Tyler, tighig, 30 for John M
Patton, is vo,os.

this state hafe instructed their Electors
who arc seleded by that body, to vote 70,

Gently in tic United States Senate, fol
President, AID John Tyler, of Virginia, fol

of the candidates of the opposition-and
as the Republican party never expected To
receive her 'ote, we of course arc not dis.
appointed the result. Although an Op,

emily declaHd that neither VIM. II. Harri-
son, nor Hugh L. White, are worthy Of the
support of hat state for tho Presidency.--
On the 6thmst. VIM. G. Preston, (Whig.

BURNING OF THE GENERAL Posr oFFIcs
PATENT OFFICE, &c.-In another part Of
our paper will be found the particulars Of
this unfortunate occurrence. The loss il
such, particularly in the Patent Office, that
it can never be fully restored. 1t will be
remembered that the President in his late
message strongly Recommended the pro.
priaty of erecting FIRE proof building fol

HEY DiDDLE nIDDLE ron NICHOLAS Bin
ELE.---rhis celebrated parsonage, well
known as President of tho United States
Bank, is flooding the Wing press, with
correspondence between him and John
Quincy Adams, on tho currency, in which
he ondeavors TO prove that the scarcity Of
money, the high price of the ncccssaries of
life, &c. have all arisen from the course
pursued by the Secretary of the Treasury
in transferring the public depositcs, accord
ing to law, and the Treasury order calling
for specie alone in payments for public land.
Taking all he says for sound reasoning it
would appear to be all the fault of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury that Wheat is So
bushcl. and money worth per cent por
mOnth--but taking MIR. Biddle's former
opinions when he prophesied that Corn
would be worth only 10 cents bnshel and
grass would grow in the streets, in the year
'36, if the United States Bank was not
rechartcred, we find him such an false
Prophet, that we place no confidence in his
present sopbistical argument concerning the
currency.

FANNY WEIGHr AGAlN.-Miss Fanny
Wright, or as she is now called Mrs. Fran
ces w. Darusmont, attempted to deliver a

but was prevented by mob. Since Miss
Fanny has taken to herself better half,
contrary to her former notions, she appears
to be more unpopular than ever.

WIN. IL. HARRISON Is NO MoRE.--Seve-
raj of the Wing prints avow their oPposi-

ground that it conflicts with their former
opinions concerning the election of Military
Chieftains to office Whore are you

whom he found in his orchard tukmg fruit
" Book again" said Sawney, as he dropped

their former political faith, tho better it will
be for their political character.
