Singular and Fatal .Accident.--A very
extraordinary accident occurred in Port
Hope, N. G. on Friday last, which has
plunged highly respectable family of that
town in the deepest affliction. In the NOR
ming of that day Master James McSpadden
IA youth about ID years of age) eldest son
of DR.. McSpadden, left home to fetch, as
he said, something from the Presbyterian
Church, which stands nearly opposite his
fathers house. Not returnig Immediately, it
was supposed he had walked down the town
and no alarm was felt for his safety. Some
hours afterward, young companion, chanc-
ing to pass in the rear ofthe church, observed
him hanging, as he thought, IN an odd
manner from one of the windows, and call
ed to him to say what he was about. Re-
ceiving no answer he went up to him, and
discovered that the unfortunate youth was
dead, having been caught by the neck and
strangled with the sash of the window,
which apparently hadfallen upon him while
in the act of passing in or out of the church
He had climed to the window by ladder
from which his feet had slipped Coburgi

Greece The last news from Greece bears mel
ancholy details of the political and financial situation
of that unfortunate country. Anarchy exists as
well in the administration as in the different parties.
The government has no foundation: 1t is sustained
by the bayonet in the hands of foreigners The
his counsellors. Numerous bands overrun the
country with impunity, principally upon the Thr-
kish frontier, where they easily find an asylum. In
word, such is the actual state of Greece, that
revolution, rather catastrophe Or later,
is foreseen by every intelligent mind.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

The General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church of the United States met yesterday in this
city, as announced in the 7th Presbyterian church
of the city. After sermon, DIR Patton from Geneva
New orz offered some resolutions, but being from
one Of the cxcsed synods she told by the mcder
ator that he was not in order. Some further busi-
ness being transaated, Mr.. Cleveland Of Mich. rose
and read something which we could not hear, but
understood that related to the proceedings of the
Assembly at its last session, which were declared
illegal. The moderator in the mean time endeavored
to stop Mr. Cleveland, but in vain he went on till
he had finished the document, and then moved that
the Rev. DIR. Beman of Troy, New York, be the mo-
derator of the General Assembly This motion hav-
been decidedin the affirmative by apparently very
large majority, Dr. Beman took seat or station in
the broad aisle was sworn in by magistrate alder
man; the clerk was then elected by nomination and
vote, after which motion was made that the Gene
raj Assembly of the United States DO now adjourn
forthwith to the First Presbyterian Church [Mr
Barnes) in this city, which decided in The afrma.
tive, the General Assembly, or as the Old School
will say, New School forthwith left the church and
went to Mr. Barnes. The Old School party, whc
seemed to form small minority, remained where
they were and proceeded to transact their business
as ifnothing had happened.

with an exception for considerable time in
favor of actual settlers, that the purchase of
public lands should not be made otherwise
than with specie, as the spectators and the
western banks carried on operations as fol-
lows-we quote from the Presidential Mes
sage of December lS36:--"The Banks lent
out their notes to spectators, they were
paid to the receivers and Immediately re-
turned to the Banks, TO be lent out again
and again, being mere instruments to trans
fer to Spectators the most valuable public
lands, and pay the government by credit
on the books of the banks" This game
was carried on to such an enormous extent
that the most tremendous losses were to be
anticipated, and hence the issue Of the re-
nowned Specie Circular, upon the innocent
back of which whiggery has seen fit to
saddle the whole effects Of reaction from
over-trading.
The end was accomplished, and the land
gambling to a great extent was stayed; but
now, to add one scene more to their farccal
performances about this matter, our oppo
nonts tell us that the recent action of Con.
gress was ga rescission of the Specie Cir
cular," and federal-whig victory. Yet any
one who can sec at all, must perceive tina
the specie circular was in effect repealed il
May, 1887, by the suspension of specie
payments, for the suspension took away al
discriminating power from the public Off
GERS as to the kind of funds that should bt
received in payment of public dues-wheth
er for duties, for postages, or for lands, no
thing could be taken but specie, there beinl

orally ready and anxious to resume, and
is said would have done SO in July, Spec
circular or no specie circular, with the |
S. Bank or without it, and that Congre
sional vote, which in fact amounts to notl
ing, is seized upon as an excuse by II
great regulator, to jump hastily forward ar
to come as near as possible to 'taking Il
lead' in resuming. This is the whole me

ANOTHER OUTRAGE.
BRITISH STEAMBOAT nuRNr.

A BRITISH STEAMBOAT BURNT.
By accounts from Sacket'S Harbour, we
learn that the Sir Robert Peel, British
steamboat, stopped at Wells Island, about
six miles from Sacket's Harbour, bound to
Kingston, U. e. for the purpose of taking
in wood, when, about one o'clock at night,
she was boarded by a band of 30 or 40
Canadian relugees-the passengers ordered
on shore, and the boat burnt, together with
the passengers baggage. About 100000
in specie was on board, but no other freight
Great excitement is created upon the lines
in consequence of the outrage, and fears
were entertained that the British would re-
taliate upon our shores. Several companies
of horse were ordered out to protect the
inhabitants, and every effort was being
made by the proper authorities to bring the
culprits to justice. Upon the receipt of
the news at Albany, Gen. Marcy immedi-
ately set of for the scene of this daring
atrocity,

Mr.. BELL, (wRig) of Tennessee, has in

argument, to sustain his opposition to the
appropriation for the suppression of Indian
hostilities. On Friday, the lst inst. whilst
this subject was under discussion in the
House, Mr.. II. G.. TURNEY, of Tennessee,
made some remarks in reply to a speech
of Bell, in which he handled him very Sc
verely. Mr.. Bell rose and replied with
great violence, using language insulting to
the dignity of the house. He said that
"Mr. Turney was the tool of tools, an in
strument of instruments, a blow pipe, a
conduit through which others emitted
their gangreene and rancor." MFR. Turney
turned upon Mr.. Bell, and exclaimed, "sir,
you are liar, it is false" Mr. Bell then
struck Mr.. Turney, and several blows pass
ed before they were separated. Both were
required to apologize to the house, and
here the matter ended.

OvE's MoTHrR.-Around the idea Of ones moth
er the mind of man clings with fond affection. 1t
is the first dear thought stampt upon our infant
hearts, when yet soft and capable of receiving the
most profound Impressions and all the after feelings
are more or less light in comparison. Our passions,
our wilfuness may lead us far from the object OF
our flal love; we may become wild, head-strong,
and angry at her counsels or opposition; but when
death has stilled her monitory voice, and nothing
but calm memory remains to recapitulate her virtues
and good deeds, affection, like flower beaten to
the ground by rude storm, raises up her head and
smiles amidst her tears. Round that idea, as we
have said the mind clings with fond affection; and
even when the earlier period ofour loss forces memory
to be SILENT fancy takes the place of remembrance,
and twines the images Of our departed parent with
garland of gaces and beauties and virtues which we
doubt not that she had possessed.
