rather tnink however, that the pertinacious hos
ty of the Haggertys, particularly the young ones,
arises from the remarkable affection which the ladies'
generally bear towards me, their favorte indicator
They think am id monopoliser of female love
and beauty-and they are not far out neither. But

HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND ATTEMPT AT MURDER
On Saturday evening, between the hours of nine and
ten o'clock, William Simpson, coal Inspector living
near the East river, opposite the junction of the old
Harlem road and Third Avenue was on his way
home from the city, as he approached the junction he
was followed by gang of five fellows, two of whom
very soon passed him, and at little distance paused
and waited until he came up with them; one of them
then made some remark to him, when he was imme-
dlately knocked down by the other by blow on the
lead with club; he says they continued their blows
after he was down, until he lost all recollection.
When he recovered his senses he found his head bad
y cut and face bruised, and himself covered with
blood; one skirt of his coat was cut or torn of, in
which was contained his pocket book containing
81 bank note, and book of memorandums of coal
admeasurement; he also missed pair of new buck
skin shoes and pocket handkerchief he had with
him. Finding no one near him, he made shift to
reach his house. His family greatly agitated
and alarmed at his appearance and situation, and
sent Immediately for physician. DR.. Sargent came
and attended his wounds and bled him; he is now ra-
ther better but srll confined his bed his head and
face badly swelled He describes the fellows who
attacked him as negroes or mulattoes; one had on
blue roundabout jacket.
1t is probable the perpetrators are part of a gang
who have for time past infested the neighbor-
hood and hung around the banks of the river, an
noying the inhabitants by continually trespasslng
and prowng about the grounds Articles of clothing
have frequently been missed from the grounds.
u Thomas Graham, Esq, of this city, has been
appointed by Gov. Dunlap, of Maine, Commissioner
to take the acknowledgment of Deeds &C. to be
recorded in the State Of Maine for the State Of New
York.

his code of prescription. The great men-who for

liable to be bonded themselves for thedebts they can
not pay, and our mechanics ruined by the wild
schemes of these men, likely to be reduced ts

matized as paupers. / am of opinion that the man
incapable
of serving the state ought be dealt with in the man.
