I've Snatcneu up TIC olner nine.
Eapiable.-The population Of London.
it is said, can boast Of $4,000 thieves,
$4,000 beggars, and 10000 professional
gamesters.
Gen. Houston, it is said, married recent
ly, at Nacogdoches, Texas.
The SnsnsE Twins, are now at Peale's
Museum, Philadelphia
Snow fell at Cincinnati, on the goth
April, to the depth of two inches.
1t was twenty-three years, on the Gath
February last, since Robert Fulton died.
SAVAGEs BoGGED.--It is estimated by
some of our contemporaries that the num-
Der Of Indians, negroes, &c. captured du-
ring the first Seminole campaign, must
exceed 1000. If zone could get at the en-
tire Indian population of Florida, the end
Of the war might be guessed at
Terrible Disaster. The Steamer Mo-
sELLE, Capt. Perrin, burst her boilers, on
The evening of the 25th April, near Gin
cinnati, Ohio. About one hundred and
twenty lives we're lost, says the Cincinnati
Wing, by this occurrence.
When the late Bank of the U. States
was the depository Of the funds of the Gen
ereal Government, it disbursed the PEN
sion fund free Of charge. Gen. Jackson,
deeming the money unsafe in this situa-
ton, placed il in the hands Of some so or
60 pension agents. What would be thought
of an individual managing his private az
fairs as improvidentially as the public rev.
enue have been treated2 Would he not
be proper subject for the statute Of luna
cy?-Nat. Gaz.
The issue Of Treasury notes cannot be
objected to from any other than factious
motives.-Globe. Nt.u
General Jackson himself, no longer than
last June, wrote to the Editor OF the Globe
81 hope no Treasury notes will be issued"
Why does not the Globe turn and curse
the factious tenant of the Hermitage
Prentice.
DIFFERENCE OF oPINIoN.-Mr. Cambre-
leng calls upon Congress for a new grant
Of 100000 of Government paper
Mr., Benton, in his last long speech, protes-
ted that he would never again vote for an
issue of Treasury notes. Will Mr.. Ben
ton oppose the bill, if it should come be-
fore the Senate2
March Of the Democracy of Numbers
The country speaks in loud voice to the
Metropolis. Returns from all quarters
come in gloriously. The Wings have
swept the State, more InvIV-e,,s Lv co.
than in the fall elections; and they will
sweep the city.-N Y Cc3r.
Astonishing absence Of mind.--Aremark-
able dog, belonging to a young gentleman
on Chartres street, called upon his mas
ter's Dulcinea last Sunday morning, gal
lanted her to church, carried her psalm
book for her, and deported himself in so
gentlemanly manner, that neither lady
nor dog knew the difference till the sexton
stopped him on the threshold of the sane
tuary.
IMPORTANT FROM TExAs.--By the Co.
lumbia, dispatches were received by j. w.
Breedlove, Esq, the Collector, from the
American Charge d'Afaires at Houston,
to be forwarded with all haste to Wash
ington. An endorsement described them
as important documents, containing con.
vention with Texas, which, we presume,
was to be submitted for ratification to our
Congress. Perhaps these dispatches are
the last overtures of the infant republic to
the parent state, the rejection of which will
work final separation between the moth
er and daughter. Why cannot all the IN.
dividuals Of the same family live together
under the same roof of the same broad
temple Of freedom? This divorce of the
members of the same stock and household
from each other, is unnatural, and should
never be allowed, except under the coer-
cion of imperative necessity.--N y. Bal-
letin.
CLAY AND CALHOUN COMPARED. Some
Plutrarch, writing from Washington for
the N. Y. Express, thus speaks OF these
these two statesmen:
Henry Clay in print, is not Henry Clay,
the orator. His ease and suavity of man
ners, his siren-toned and mellihuent voice,
reminding one of Homer's favorite orator
che spoke, and words flowed like honey
from his mouth'-are powers peculiar to
Mr.. Clay Mr. Calhoun also has a man
ner of his own. Every sentence comes
like kind of Vesuvius eruption from his
volcanic mind--strong, forcible and SEN
tentious, with voice as gruff and growl-
ing as that Of mad dog or chained bear
always losing his temper, and always
returning even playful and harmless
sprinkling ofnectar with shower OF his
