The Iorrnament-The Practising for tho
approaching Tournament is continued twice a
week, Tuesdays and Saturdays, in public. On
the last occasion the scene Of action, which is
at the back of the Eyre Arms Tavern, near St.
Johns Wood barracks. was visited by most of
the principal families Of the nobility in town.
The knights are indeed so highly connected
that, as admission is only gained by an order
from one OF them. the company assembled 10 Of
the most select description. The ground cho-
sen is obloDg, and Of about four acres in size
along the centre Of which is placed barrier
with frame for the working Of figure in ar
mour. which is propelled along the rail road by
the strength Of three men in the opposite d.
recton TO that which the knight takes in charg-
ing it. 1t appears absolutely necessary that
the horse should be perfectly obedient to the
riders will. in oder even to approach the figure.
None Of the horses are as yet sufficiently train
ed. There is, however, 10 want Of esprit on
the part OF the riders. and their horses are evil
IDENTIFY good both for strength and speed.
The trumpet sounds Away goes Mr.. Char
teris at full speed. His headlong career is not,
however, desti;ied to he successful. The plume
Of the figure remains unsoed, and this gallant
knight is compelled to bite the dust.
With better success Lord Eglinton, Captain
Maynard and Lord Cas,ills made their debut
in turn Lord Carven in armour inlaid with
gold, Lord Glenlyon, and Sir p. Hopkins fol-
lowed. generally breaking up the armour Of
their steel-clad opponent, which as quickly re-
appeared. as if by magic, unbarmed and ready
for the encounter.
The Esquires, meanwhile, amuse themselves
by tilting at oranges suspended in the air. or at
the old game Of the ring. The effect Of the

TIE TRUE 1ssUE.-The great and important
question to be decided by the people is wheth-
er they will 60 with the wings in the support o
a system by which more money will be tax en-
from their pockets in the shape Of revenue for
the ostensible purpose Of defraying the expen-
ses of the Government, than is necessary for
that purpose, in order that il may be deposited
in Bank or in Banks to be loaned out to spec
ulators, overdealers, stock jobbers. and to pro-
mote the benefit of the few at the sacrifice OF
the interests Of the many, on the other side;
Or with the friends of the Administration in
favor Of the Independent Treasury System,
which will provide for the safe keeping of the
public funds by the sworn and bonded agent.
fof the people; the money to be used for no
other purpose than that for which il is collected,
and TO be always ready to be applied TO those
purposes, instead of being shut up in the vaults
Of non paying banks.
In the one case more money will be taken
from the pockets Of the people than is nece,sa-
ry Tor the purpose Of supporting the Govern
meut; 1t will be placed in the hands Of those
who are not, and cannot be. responsible to ci-
ther the people or the Government. TO be loan
ed out to a few spectators and stock obbers,
to enable them to oppre.s the laboring portions
of the community
In the other case no more money will be ia
ken nom the people than is necessary to defray
the expenses Of the Government; it will be
placed IN the hands of those who are response
Die to the Government and the people, and as
they will not be permitted to use it for any 9TH
er purpose than that for which it is raised, it
cannot be made the means of depressing the H.
boring portions Of the people, and instead Of
being liable TO be shut up in the vaults of the
Banks whenever they may choose to suspend
paying specie, it will always be ready to be ap-
Piled TO the proper purpose.
Between these two no sensible man, who de-
sires only the prosperity Of the country, and
the happiness Of the people, can be at any loss
in making choice! What say you, general
ly-all who earn their bread by the sweat of
your brow-all who are in favor of equal laws
and equal rights, which of the two would you
prefer! Doubtless you would choose that
which is calculated to operate the most ca uslly
and most benefcially TO the country, and the
people generally. Then give your support to
the Administration and its friends. and put down
the schemes and contrvances Of the sharpers
who desire to grow rich by fleeing the poor.
Thereby you will serve most effectually the
country, your neighbors and yourselves.

The reception at Kindertook.-On Saturday
morning the President left Hudson for Kinder J.
hook, his native village. The road by which b
he travelled was ihrooged with people, and at
one place. he was obliged TO aligbt. TO reply TO
the hasty testimonials Of kindness which were
.howered upon him. He was escorted iuto
kinderhook by fifty horsemen, in uniform.
Cannon were. fired on his entering the village,
and the procession was joined by the students
Of the Academy. The President was address
ed by the chairman Of the Committee of ar
rangements, in behalf Of his fellow citizens, and
he made reply distinguished for the deep feel
ing which it evinced, and in the course Of which
he was affected even unto tears, which many of
his hearers shared. But less grave feelings
were soon predominant, and the day passed
off agreeably to all parties.-Post.

The CILLEY DUEL.-An extract from ;
speech, recently made in Kentucky, is going
the rounds. by which it appears that Mr.. Graves
was urged into that duel by a number of hi,
friends, in order to save his own honor and the
honor of the state Of Kentucky from imputation
What sad abuse Of words -" friendship, "
" honor!" &c. &c. The original difference
was about few words involving the respecta-
bility Of a man who never had any, with these
friends called question Of veraci,y." How
much would " honor" friendship" &" virtue.
q" religion" and all the noblest sentiments of
nature have been consulted. had Mr.. Graves
have had the moral courage to strip sopbstry
Of its disguise-and mcdern chivalry Of its
Slackguard pretentions! Mr.. Graves acknowl-
edges that he was opposed to duelling on prin-
ciple. How so ! What sort Of principle is
that which resigns its own judgment into the
hands of friends whose advice violates every
moral, legal, and religious obligation!
We do verify believe that moral courage is
the only Kind Of true courage-that courage
which enables man to follow his own natural
principles of honor and msgnanimty, iu the
face Of vulgar prejudces or the rotten opinion,
of eliques and coteries.-N. Y Herald.
