Mr.. jerks Lecture on Common

evening of last week. He gave very in

two hours in its delivery, and was Listen
ed to with marked attention by the audi

On Thursday evening he interested his
audience by exhibiting Views Of many of
the ancient cities of the East, as they now
appear TO travellers in all their magnifi-
cent ruins; among these views--and he
exhibited about ffty-may be mentioned
Petrea. Athens, Thebes, Memphis, Anti
och, Babylon, &c. &c. The exhibition
was interspersed with Philosophical and
Historical remarks, highly instructive and
to those present. Mr.. j. left

where he expects to lecture for a short
time. After which he proposes to attend
the National Education Convention. which
is to be held in Washington city some
time in May.

cause of Education. Having travelled
in the old world, and studied

Former possessors were re-
assuming their claims, and this without
bringing disgrace upon themselves. An
individual who was living upon land to

owners, went to the former, asking him
to name the terms of compromise.

The principal subject Of conversation
in Wall street to-day has been the newly
discovered defalcation in Manhattan Bank.
| The stock sold at the board for 80 cash,
and IS on time--a decline of 6 per cent,
since yesterday. Nothing has been heard
yet of the absconding Teller. The
! amount of his defalcation is stated to be
$4,000. The cash of the bank, howev.
er, has not yet been counted, and, there.
/ fore, it is not positively known whether
any further loss has been sustained.

featured On the patent safety valve princi-
pie, and is deserving and will receive pa
tronage on this account. She is of light
draught and we'll adapted to the Upperl
Mississippi trade. There is one thing
they have done OH board that boat which
lis worthy the imitation Of all clerks and
captains in this trade, and we acknowl-
edge it with many thanks. 1t is tllis:-
Instead Of compelling us to be at the
wharf at the precise moment of arrival
and rushing on board at the risk Of
broken head or leg for the sake of OBJ
tanning the latest news, the worthy and
Igentlemanly Clerk, Mr.. J. V. Dawley,
presents us, at the earliest opportunity,
with packet Of the latest papers direct
ed to the Hawk-Eye." Such mark
of attention and politeness shall not be
forgotten.
The PRE-EMpTloN.--This new and
beautiful boat visited this place for the
first time on Monday evening and brought
us St Louis papers Of the Saturday pre-
vious, for which we embrace this oppor.
tunity to thank the Captain. This boat
was built at Cincinnati under the super
iintendsace of her Comnander---cur old
and well known friend Harris, late OF
the Pizarro.-Being a principal owner,
passengers and shippers, will the more
readily patroaize the Presumption on this
account. She was constructed expressly
for the Du Buque and Galena trade
When light she draws but 90 inches wa.
ter and with one hand:ed and fifty tons
of freight, only 8 feet. Her dimen
sions are--29 feet beam; l55 straight
keel; It's length of deck; 5 feet depth
of hold--all state rooms.

Harrison
Van Buren,

This demonstration of public opinion
is in strict accordance with that deep root
ed feeling which pervades the country ];
looming events cast their shadows be-
fore The fatal consequences of a cor
rupt and oppressive administration are
felt by the people who are now arraying
themselves by thousands against their OPP
pressors. The success Of Harrison and
the preservation Of republican liberty are
inseparable. The Cincinnatus Of the
West will be called OH by the people to
drive the Ta,'-dals from the Capitol and
restore the Government to the good old
democratic Track. Through him the peo-1
pie ,ciN reign and not the office holders.

HONESTY THE BEST Policy. The Van
Buren, papers in Ohio, are unwittingly
doing much, by their gross and palpable
falsehoods about Gen. Harrison and the
late Columbus Convention, to promote
the very cause which they are en'ieavor-
ing to PROSTATE. Recently the Ohio
Statesman undertook TO say that the great
Convention was principally composed of
office holders and merchants. The peo-
pie took it up, and demanded the proof
The Statesman came out with list, and
after summoning all the officc-holders,
merchants. &c. that it could, put down
the total at between 2 and 1000. Allow
ing this to be correct. that is quite a small
number compared to the more than 90 900
farmers and mechanics which were left,
as members of the Convention. We
have seen gentlemen from Columbus
who attended that Convention, and who
say they would willingly 60 SEQ miles to
see another like it, aud they all asser,
that the Stalesman's account about Office.
holders and merchants is false. This was
explained to US by gentleman III whom
we can confde and who gave us some
;. specimens Of the mendac;ty of s..edary
of the Statesman. One of these speci
meGs we will relate. In Meda.y's lis
he had one gentleman name inserted il
his list of olslce-hclders, merchants, loaf
ers, &c. in three different places, as be
longing TO three different occupations
and the cream Of the joke was, that thi.
gentleman, with SO many occupations
was, during the nesting of the Conven
ton, SO sick as to be unable to rise from
his bed. This can easily be proved, a
we had the information from the gentle
mans own brother. "

character Of the woman--the loss of the
other money, &c. &c. Among others,
one respectable witness testified that in
case like the one under examination. he
would not believe her on oath. On this
announcement, the gentleman who was
acting as prosecuting attorney, declined
prosecuting farther, and after examining
other witnesses and consulting together,
the Justices dismissed the case.
