american Princes Royal The COL
lowing = an extract from a London
Letter which appears in this mornings
Albany Argus -
There are great numbers of American
ladies in London at present, and they
seem to be a good deal the fashion. Mrs.
Van Buren's quiet and high bred manners,
are very much talked Of, and the Major
himself, like his brother, has been received
quite as a Prince Royal, admitted 10 the
floor of the House Of Lords, etc. etc. etc.
Miss Sedgwick is here, but she seems to
require "A trumpeter."
So it appears that Maj. Van Buren, has,
like his brother John, been received by the
nobility of England, ;. Like Prince
Royal! '-And this boast is put forth in
the State Paper-a paper which is filed
with professions of Republicanism And
worse than all, the paragraph which pro
claims the fact that the sons ofhis Dem.
mocratic Majesty" are received at tho
British Court like Royal Princes, Contains
an insolent unmanly fling at the gifted
and accomplished Miss Sedgwick, who
has done more TO adorn and exalt the
character of her country, than all the
Van Burens who flourish as mimic HON
orchs at home or figure as Royal Princes
abroad.-Albdny Journal.

Melancholy Occurrence.--Our community
was thrown into great CONSERVATION on yester-
day (Mopday) morning, on learning that the
dead body Of Col. John w. Byrn, late High
Sheriff of this county, had been found lying on
the road side about one mile from this city.
4 jury was Immediately summoned, and A.
Thacher, coroner, proceeded to hold an inquest
over the same, who reported, that, his DEATH
was occasioned by his own hands, by the dis
charge of a horseman's pistol, the ball of which
entered the breast and ranged in the direction
of the heart.
No enc, we presume, can tell the cause thai
prompted the commission of this act. 1t was
the first day ofthe Circuit Court for shis county
which. in consequence, will not be held
Col. Byrn, had, for many years, filed the
office he occupied at the time of his death
and had always been accounted an able ant
efficient officer of the law. He was also Z
candidate for reelection in November.

July S.-Custom House and Quarantine Oaths.
BENJAMIN Smith, master of the ship Chrstoval Co
lon was brought up, charged with perjury in swear
ing TO false return of thatvessel to the Health Off
Ger Of the port
Ii appeared that the accused had made affidavit
that his vessel left Havana on the 18th Of June,
whereas npoint OF fact she sailed on the I'D of that
month. In doing this he violated the quarantine
laws as laid down in chapter ii, title I'd. article
9Th section IS, Of the Revised Statutes and
by means of such false statements he also violated
another part of said quarantine laws, as contained in
the chapter title I'd article Sd, section IS
which saws that none of the officers, PASSENGERS or
crew, of any such vessel, shall proceed to or enter
the city, until fifteen days after the sailing Of the
vessel from her foreign port OF departure, until
fifteen DAYS after the last of infectious pesti-
lential fever shall have occurred on board said
Smith having come 10 the city within the time pre-
scribed as aforesaid. 1t also appeared that Timothy
Wellman, the first mate of said vessel. on being
amined under oath BY DIR. Rockwell, deposed that
the log book Of the ship, as kept by him,
rect as also the asserted time of the sailing of the
vessel
He stated that he kept the log book, that he made
no erasures in il, but that IL was true register
That the leaf torn ont had writing ii, to the
best of his knowledge and belief-that he did not
know who tore il out-that the writing over the era
sures looked like his writing-that the vessel did
sail on the Eth of June certified in the log book,
which statements DR. Rockwell ascertained To be
false as well from Capt West, Of the ship India,
who sailed on the 10Th Of June, and left the Christie
val Colon then in port, also from two passengers
Of the Christoval Colon, named Alexander {. Beck
er and Augustus Daench, both Of whom depos ed that
the sci did not sail until the 23d of June. Ii was
also apparent from the leaves Of the log book that II
had been altered in various places by numerous era
sures having been made, and other matter written
over the places.
The accused was held 70 bail to answer to the
charge AZ the Sessions.
