Dear Sir: From The intelligence received from
Washington East evening, we have strong fears
that the General Administration, will not extend
to Maine that aid which the crisis demands. /
speak ai,ise:iiy, when say that if the contem-
plated visit Of General Scott to Maine is only
to persuade a withdrawal Of our troops from the
disputed territory, or REIMBURSEMENT Of our
present position, he might as wei! stay a,yay

that the wooden nutmeg gentry would soon be

SO near its tulflment as it now seems to be. The
Northampton Courier f.the stwcek announces
that Bass wood cuttings have been sold there for
cuttings Of the Morns Multicaulis; and we have
to add, that a friend of ours received last week
small phial, ofwhat was said to be mulberry seed,
as sample of twenty-five pounds, which the
person who sent it, had ON hand for sale, wishing
to know the price and prospects. This sample

BANGOR, FRIDAY.
HALr-PAsT FIVE O'CLOCK, p. NJ.

Letters have just come in by the express line of
videttes ten hours and twenty-five minutes from
flou!ton, distance Of 800 miles, the haal-quar-
tiers OF Gen. .Hodsdon; one Of them is from Col.
John L. Hcdslon. Of The generals staff and COM
mnnicates the important intelligence tina: regi-
ment of 800 fasileers had arrived at Halifax from
Cork, and were ordered 10 he a. Fredericton o.
Wednesday last, and to proceed forth With to the
disputed territory. .s

1t was also supposed that reinforcement Of
American troops must be oraere up very soon.
Another letter from Houton states that Col.
Webster. one of the persons taken with Mr. Nc
intlre, had arrived there from No. 10, with the.
information that Jarvis's force had thrown up
fort near 'Fizherberts, from whose house you
will recollect our citizens were carried off, using
his (Fitzherbert's) timber, he having fled. The
letter also says that Col. Webster reports the ar
rival of 500 British troops from Quebec, at Mad:
aWaska village-having been ordered to New
Brunswick before the difficulties commenced.
This Is all the news tonight:
From the Fredericton ~ b. Sentinel. Feb. 20.
This Province has not only been invaded by a
military force belonging to the State Of Maine, in
"a. time Of profound peace, but invaded with the
ayowed determination Of maintaining possession
if possible, of the territory III dispute. The
question, therefore, must resolve itself into this
will the General Government Of the Union and
the other States support that Of Maine in its in
fraction Of a treaty and mutual understanding,
and compel it to comply with the condition of
the Federal compact which unites them together
or will they support her in her arrogant preten-
sions? This must be promptly and decidedly an
swered. +-. !.
Meantime, the course to be pursued on the
part Of the British authorities in this part Of her
Majesty's dominions is, to maintain inviolate the
possession Of territory which, by treaty and right
belongs 10 Great Britain and although war is to
be deprecated and dreaded, yet it is moi to be pre-
vented by measures Of expediency.
Rein!orcements for the detachments of the
36th regiment that proceeded last week toward
the scene Of INVASION, connne to be sent off,
Yesterday, a company Of that corps followed;
and this morning. the remainder, led by party
of the Royal Artillery, with ield-piece, left for

Most DISTRESSING CAsUALrv.-We
have to record most h?art-rending can;-
atty which occurred on Monday r! git
It seem; that Mrs. knowls. wife of Mr..
Frederick Knowles, and Mrs. Edwards,
wife Of Mr.. Samuel Edwards, residents q
Belle Isle, near this city, had visited /;
sick family on this side, and set ont t. r.
turn to the Island about o'clock. Til
boat which conveyed them across ",
managed by one of the negro men baloi:"-
ing to the works. From all the circ:i.,.,
stances connected with the affair, it w!
appear that the boat began to loa,::, >:
which the lives of the passengers was ca
dangercd; and it is inferred that the nc
gro, finding his boat sinking, landed Inc
ladies upon a small island in the river ani
made his way to the shore for assistance.
1t would seem that in his anxiety t. afford
relief, he failed to give the alarm, and
took out another boat to their aid; but the
poor fellow failed in his efforts, and it IS
believed was drowned, as both boats were
found together in the morning. And,
what is still more distressing, the ladies
perished on the Island, their bodies having
been found there yesterday morning Th3
af1liction is heightened blythe circumstanca
that each of them leaves two young c:Ei-
dren to suffer the bereavement. NJ.
Knowles is absent at the North. The
public sympathy is deeply excited at this
most distressing affair.

SWALLOWING A FARM.-A farmer in
Connecticut, who has occupied the same
farm, on lease, for about thirty years past,
was complaining that he had not been
able to lay up any thing from his thirty
years labor. A neighboring storekeorcr
offered to explain to him the reason. and
proceeded as follows: "During thu last
thirty years that you have been Il tia;

BRrrIsn NATIONAL DEBT--Black-
woods Magazine states that the Tory Gov
ernmcnt in the space of fifteen years after
the battle of Waterloo, had paid off eigh-
ty millions sterling of the debt; reducing
it from 565 millions, to 7s5 Millions
And that the Whig Government has in
creased the debt million a year during
the eight years of its Administration
The writer prophcsies that the change in
the Post Office law will produce a fur
thcr deficit of one million a year, so that
hereafter the yearttyy Increase of debt will
be two millions sterling.
1t is stated that if the taxes had been
kept up to the standard Of 1915, there
would no,o have been paid of 400 millions
of the debt, nearly one-half.
BY a statistical table in the same article
we perceive that the population of Great
Britain and Ireland has increased in "a
years, from 10 to 81 millions.-Philadel-

SOURCES OF SOCIAL HAPp1NEss.-As
regards public happiness, statesmen and
politicians too often forget that though
good political institutions conduce to it,
yet they arc but one means to the attain
ment of this end, and that more than these
arc requisite to make individuals and ma
tons happy. The cultivation of good will,
kindncs, humanity, and all her gentle af-
factions, arc far more influential in the
promotion of private happiness than the
justest balance of>the political constitution
can be, 50 that though the value of civil
and religious liberty is great, and has
large influence on national weli-being, still
it a.oae does not constitute happiness; ant
therefore it seems to me that those writer's
who devote their energies to the task of
endcavoring to soften and improve the So
cial affections, do incomparably more to
promote the benefit of communities than
those who have onlp in view what is more
strictly designated "the public wcal."-

EFFECTS OF LAUGHTER ON HEALTH.
-" Laughter" says Hufaland, "is one of
the greatest helps to digestion with which
l am acquainted; and the custom preva-
lent among our forefathers, of exciting it
at table by testers and butioons, was foun-
dcd on true medical principles. In word,
cndeavor to have cheerful and merry
companions at your meals: what nourish-
ment one receives amidst mrth and joEty
will certainly produce good and light
blood-Curtis ON Health.

SENSITIVE HA1R.-In the hospital of
the Royal Guards at Paris, was private
soldier who had received violent kick on
the back of his head from horse. The
excitement of the hair produced was ex-
trcme, and could only be kept under by
almost continued blcedings, both LEGAL and
general. Amongst series of pllenome-
ma produced by the state Of preternatural
excitation, the sensibility acquired by the
hairs of the head was not the least remark
able. The slightest touch was felt instant
y, and cutting them gave exquisite pain,
80 that tn, patient would seldom allow
any one to come near his head. Baron
Larrey, to put him to the test, gave
hint to an assistant, who was standing be-
hind the patient, to clip off soale hair
without his perceiving it. This was done
with great dexterty, but the soldier broke
out into vollcy of oaths, succeeded by
complaints, and it was some time before
he could be appeased.-French paper.
A TENDER or MoNEY.-At the Liver
pool Assizcs proof was given OF tender
of rent by a woman, who said she laid
the money upon a table. Baron Maule
took occasion to lay down the law as res
poets tenders. Gas to tenders, it is very
strange that they are SO rarely made in
legal manner. One would think it very
easy thing to make tender; but it is the
rarest thing in the world to find tender
clearly proved. People commonly clog q
tender with some condition, which makes
it no tender in law. One man goes to
another, and says, here is your fourteen
pounds, but | must have receipt in full
of all demands A tender, to be good,
must be an unconditional one, clogged
with no stipulation whatever; and certain
ly the tender made by this woman was as
good tender as | ever got out in evidence
in my liie."

A Coon BusrNEss.--We understand
that o,lr railroad is delivering at Harpers
Ferry about one thousand barrels of flour
per day, besides other freight in consider
able quantities. From this propitous BE-
ginning, and from what we know of the
abundance of the last harvest, we venture
to predict that 100000 barrels will pass
over the road during the present ycar.--
The ascending trade, also, is well sustain
ed, and the travelling is rather greater
than at the same period of any former
year. By the way, it affords lis pleasure
to state, that arrangements are being made
which will place the travelling acccmm9-
dations of this road on footing with the
best in the United States.
