FRONTIER INTELLIGENCE.

The news of The plumber of the U. S. Arsenal at
Elizabetbtown Essex Co, N. r.. published in our
morning edition, is con Imed. The robbery took
place on the night of the 25th ult. A letter from
Mr. Hand, the keeper, to the slate authorities at
Albany says 900 muskets with fixed bayonets were
stolen, % riff s. 20 pairs ofpiStolS, large quantity
OF knapSacks, and perhaps quantity of cartridge
boxes. Entrance was effected at the back door, by
means of an iron bar The stolen arms, says the
Albany Argus are supposed TO have been taken in
several selghs, and were tracked north MeSSen-
gers had been sent in every direction, but MIR. IL.
believes that the properly is secrcted within few
miles unless il has been transported into Vermont.
That guns mostly old, but recently cleaned, po
ishcd and oiled Mr. III. had applied promptly to
Gen Wool for aid in the recovery Of the property"
That officer, according 10 letter in the Albany Jour-
nal has several companies Of militia at his disposal,
bit no regulars Another letter in the same paper
states that the teams which carried off the stolen pro-
perry, came from Westport and Lewis.
On the night previous 10 the above outrage, the
State Arsenal az Batavia was again broken open,
and robbed Of 100 muskets and 1000 lbs Of powder.
These diSgracefu and scandaous acts sup
posed 10 batoken an immediate movement against
our Canadian neghbors who must be thoroughly
indignant that they should be kept in state of con-
tinual alarm tor fear of an invasion from country
with which they are at peace. Indeed the move
mcnt appears TO have been already made. letter
OF the 9th from Elizabethown, as quoted by the pa
per last mentioned says, " Five hundred men len
PlatSbnrgh for Canada Yesterday. One hundred
and fifty with the same destination from Kcesyie."
The result is yet to be learned. II is however to be
hoped, from what Is stated in the annexed paragraph
from the Albany Argus, that the invaders will be
thwarled in thcsr attempt which in effect is nothing
more nor less than an attempt to involve The Two
countries in war.-N u Jour. Cam

We have received responsible communication
in part reply to the article OF A Disappointed APP
plican" published in our last, from tone ofthe per-
sons alluded to-" He disclaims the authorship of
the pieces signed "Rappahannock" and "Roanoake,"
and denies having 'assailed the Conservative party,
co nomiae, or by peculiar significant allusion. -
As the authorship of articles signed "A Woman"
and other pieces is not denied we take for granted
that the suspicious of "A Disappointed Applicant"
in other respects admitted In this matter, in
all others, intend TO do justice TO all parties and
submit TO nothing that is wrong for ourself We
should not have admitted the communication of "A
Disappointed Applicant" but for the proyocation
presented by the Globe of Saturday night Zone
of the persons alluded to- requests TO add further
that, "hs rihing publications, which were altogether
spontaneous, and unconnected with his official posi-
ton, are not of the character imputed to them and
had indeed almost entirely ceased sometime before
the appearance Of the communication in the Aladi
sonian." Our purpose is sufficiently answered.
we intended no diSrespect TO the persons alluded to"
they have perfect right to write for the Globe as
much rs they please. We only wish them TO I'M

STEAM BOAT CAROLINE BURNT.
TWENTY-FIVE LIVES LOST.

ga M-Capt Kceler, OF the schr Agnes Barton,
and f. Emmons Of this city, have Just brought news by
the express from Schosscr of attack made this morn
ing upon the steamboat Caroline, lying at thst place,
which resulted III the destruction of the boat aud the
death of % Of her crew-ouly IL escaped.
Tits stated that the attack made about o'clock,
nv five boats of armed loyasts, containing from 100 to
$50 men, who guarded the gangways and cried no
quarters"
as pilot to tho Constitution yesterday, narrowly escaped
with his life He received flesh wound and was pur-
sued into tho storehouse adjoining. Mr. Dutee, lately
belonging to the stage Office Of the Eagle in this city,
lies on the dock with his brains blown out.
The Caroline was then set on fire. and finally dnited
out into the current and went over the Falls.
We give the above lnst il was received, without
vouching for any Of the particulars II may he proper
10 add however that Capt keecr, as we arc informed
saw the results Of The above described
An express has been started to ascertain fully the
facts.
Farther particulars Of The capture Of The Caroline.
The IL o'clock express confirms tho news Of this
morning. II is said that the Caroline filed with
visitors and not soldiers. The word with the loyalsis
was, "No prisoners mo quarters" Those who at
tempted TO escape killed, with few exceptions
the boat set fire, and with the remainder to"ou
into the current the Canadian SIDE which soon car
red her the Falls.
The loyasts gave three cheers for Victoria and I'M

Let us have the facts.

This talented and popular performer has just CON-
pleted a weeks engagement at the National Theatre
and we hardly know which has reason to be best salts
fed, the public or himsef--he applauded Ito the
very echo that spplauds agan;' and they charmed,
delighted, thrilled. by the mastery efforts of his genius
by his power over the human passions.
Commentator seems to be everywhere exhausted in
his praise. WI doubt whether could say anything
ofhn that had not been said before, and said better
He made his appearance in Cato, dull and detesta-
BILE tragedy which is almost suicide" to any actor;
yet he came off with rapturous applause His Corioa-
nus we consider most finished and mastery perform
ance for our sympathcs were enlisted with the rebel,
even against our patriotism This is drama that
ought often to be represented upon the American Stage
that il may never be acted elsewhere And cannot
help pausing here to acknowledge the admiration and
awe we feel but cannot express for that immortal man
whose prophetic spirit dictated this drama. Yes, Shak
spearc centuries since embodied for u.s. the Apocalypse
OF Liberty. May we profit by the inspiration Of the
poet and the prophet!
But to rcturn.--Mr. Vandenhofs Virgnins was al.
most too distressingly true 10 nature 10 witness He
repeated il las, night 1t only remains for witness
his Hamlet; and we have no doubt he viii play !" The
Prince in very deed
In conclusion we can only add. that in all the per-
sonaons OF this eminent actor he performed TO pain
ful admiration and if there were any distinguished pc
cuarity which we have not seen ascribed to him by
Others it is his most peculiar and "erpressre silence"

reelected Speaker, and LisS BASKs was reelected
Speaker Of the House Of Representatives.
The Message Of Gov. Campbell was transmitted
to both branches oflhe Legislature on The same day
We transfer TO our columns that portion OF inns ex-
eeenl Message which relates TO the hnarcial ques-
lions now before the country We can but admire
the lofty independence Of the Governor, and The
soundness Of his views, with which we have the
pleasure Of entirely agreeing II others had been as
wise, the party Of the administration would not have
experienced its late defeats, nor have been DIS
trac;ed by discord The truly Republican Governor
submits his opnions with that Difference to The views
Of others which every citizen Of free country ought
to exhibit when making suggestions to his equals.
How different from that course which would persist
aganstth public voice and against individual opin-
ions in examining downhe threats Of dissenting bFe-
thren, obnoxious measures by force. We rejoice
tolearn from Richmond that the Subrtreasnry scheme
is favored only BY small minority OF the Legisla-
ture. We expect TO learn the same thing from New
York.

THE CONSERVATIVES.

We stated Yesterday that the Loco F0cos had de-
termined not to allow The Democrats Of 90 to meet
at Tammany Hail. which they buih themselves and
the stock Of which they now own. II seems, how
ever they went further and pursued this respect
able and numerous class of citizens into the Park,
and then into the City Hall and there mobbed them,
interrupted their proceedings, broke their lranspa-
rencies, and behaved as they have been accustomed
TO behave in their meetings with Cobbett, Hunt, and
others in Spalields and by their rioious conductap
peared to b. determined that no voices should be
heard--no opinions expressed in this free country
which were not in accordance with the voice OF
II will be Tecolected that long before the meeting
of Congress the Conservatives took strong and unc-
quiyocal grounds against the whole system of de-
ranging the exchanges and tampering with the
currency OF the country, in hopes no noubt that
the administration following public opinion, and
becoming sensible of existing difficulties would, in
n spirit of patriotism and conciliation abandon such
impracicable and perplexing schemes bat the Pre-
sidcnt in his laie message readopts and confirms
all his former recommendations, and thus len no
alternative to the Conservatives but submission to
his will, frank and honest support OF the best
interests Of the country. They met, we learn in
spite Of the riot, upon their own ground as The
Democratic party, with their own organization,
their own officers and their own speakers, in order
that no room could be afforded 10 the Locofocos 10
charge them with uniting with the Wings or with
any party to affect particular object We have
been incidentally informed, that the Conservatives
adopted an address of singular ability and interest,"
which, as political safe paper, it is said, has not
been equaled b. any one issued in this country
and is calculated to make deep impression even
upon the warmes friends Of the administration
their resolutions are cool, firm, and responsibilities
from violence or personal denunciation, and calcu-
lated fully 10 sustain their views and principles.
We hope the Conservatives will call meetings in
every town and county in the Satc--the Loco FOcos
will not dare TO show their faces; if we have MODS
Of them in the city, the country least Is SAFE is free
from this contamination. After their conduct yes
terday there can scarcely be respectable Democrat
willing TO be found in their ranks

PRACTICAL BEAUTIES OF THE SUB
TREASURY SCHEME.

fI.hDUhI oOI1EhI-
Some time since the Globe announced
that "this system has now been tried for Sc
veral months"
We call on the Globe TO state, the number
Of drafts drawn by the Treasury on the pub
lie Receivers, payable in specie, that have
been protested for non-payment during the
time tho Sub-Trcasury system has been in
operation.
We have heard reported two cases Of the
protest Of such drafts, for the moderate sums
of more than twenty thousand dollars each.
If these statements are based on facts, they
serve to illustrate the beauty and utility Of the
scheme, which lis advocates now seek to
make permanent through national lcgisla-
ton
Let US have the facts.
