somewhat pushed on which side of the question to
class this gentleman, since the late Maine election
fer last winter in Congress, he made the following
speech We heard il at the time, and remember it
verbatim" Mr. Speaker, oh no the gentlemaa

goes against majorites."

Der. l0-That Black Eye. AID. Nash pledged
himself the lovers of COED order to hunt the city
through but what he wound find out the gallant indi
vidual who inflicted such black eye on his physi-
cgnomy, at the late political hubJub in the Park on
Monday last. 1t seems, however, that the indlvi-
dual was proud of his exploit, that he boosted OF
the deed to one Samuel p Lartey, Of 80 Roosevelt
street, who Immediately went to the magistrate, and
warrant was issued against the individual, who on
Saturday was arrested by officer Smith When
placed at the bar, Alderman Nash recognized him
as the same fellow who wore the red ribbon, and
struck him the blow on his eye, and then away.
The accused denied the soft impeachment, and
moreover said that his name was not the same as
wrote ia the warrant. His cognomen set down
as John Deshea. alias Degeg, and he ordered to
find bail in $3.50 Sheriff Acker Immediately gave
the requisite security for the gallant leader of e
wing party, and he set at liberty to attend the
next meetiag of the wing party.
Poor RELATIONSHIP there is one lot more deplo-
rable than another, it is that Of being dependant
blood relations, as they are called. On Saturday a
pretty but i'll clad little GIRL with her two eyes al
most starting out of her head in consequence Of
bruises, appeared before Justice Matsel, to beg his
protection against the cruelty of her aunt, who APP
peared to be one Of the greatest termagants out of
breeches that the city can produce The name Of
this gentle dame is Mrs. BRYAN, the wife Of silk
dyer, 90 Frankfort street. The child said her pa
rents were dead, and that she had been told BY her
mother to stay with her aunt but since the death of
her mother, her aunt had constantly illused her on
every trihing pretence The magistrate sent the
poor child to the AlmshOuse.

TIE n. f. BoUNDARY.-ln lecture
lately delivered at Portland, Maine, by a
gentleman we'll informed on this subject,
it was stated that the two forts built the
last season by the British, commanded
the St. Lawrence, the st. Johns, the st.
Francis, and the military road of the State
of Maine.-Thcse forts are now garrison
cd with three hundred ant fifty men, in
stead of twenty-five as Sir John Harvey
stated. Our own deicnces are said to be
useless, and Fort Fairfield is of such a
character, that nothing can be said in its
favor. The Portland Advertiser observes
on the lecture, that the evidence
presented was overwhelming, and went
far enough to satisfy the most klndly-dis-
posed among us that we had been out
manuuvred by the ovcr-rcaching sagacity
of our friends the British.'
TIE BOUNDARY QUEsTIoN.-Therc is
an extensive rumor among the friends OF
the Administration in this city, that Mr.
Van Buren, has been in possession of the
ultinlatam of the British Government for
some days or weeks past, and that the
result iE. the British Government will not
give up an inch of the territory they
claim. We don't believe word of this
it is only got up by the friends of the Adj
ADMINISTRATION to stave off the excitement
accustomed by the rcvulsion in commercial
affairs. Mr.. Fcathers,onhaugh and Col
Nudge had not arrived out when the last
accounts left England. We convcrscd
with both these gentlemen ustbctorc they
left, and they stated positively that Grea
Britain would come to no decision in the
matter until they arrived out and they
entertained not the least doubts of al
amicablc adjustment bciug effected. There
is an excitement gotup in Canada, another
in New Brunswick, and another in Maine
but there is no more danger of awar than
that the Heavens will fall.

PROTECTION.

The following amusing anccdotc in
relation to the early history of "Bcct
Sugar. is related by correspondent CT
the National Intclligenccr, who is urging
this subject upon the attention of the
American people.
am very sensible of the great obsta-
Giles always in the way to the introduction
of any new culture, or even innovation of
an old custom. But | have lived to see
many great interests which were at first
reckoned preposterous, and even ridicul-
Gus, overcome the ordinary obstacles, and
in no great while prove sourccSof indivi-
dual and national wealth. Among the
instances of this kind, | cannot refrain
referring to one which affords very stri-
king illustration. WhcnBonaparte found
his empire cut off by the superior naval
power OF an enemy from intercourse with
the West India Colonies, and other sour
ccS from which sugar could be obtained
from abroad, he determined that this
luxury, and even necessary of civilized
life, should be made from the soil of
France. lie accordingly ordered pre-
NUNS to those who succeeded in making
it, and the beet was soon extensively cul-
tivated. But his attempt was scoiled at
by many who thought themselves very
wise. One Of the wits of the day pub
lishcd carcaturc representing the En-
pcror and Empress seated at their break
fast table, each stirring a cup of coffee
with IA sugar-beet. Their young infant,
the young King of Rome, was there also,
with sugar-bcct clutched in his little
hand, whilst his nurse was saying to him,
"Suck 1t honey, papa says it's sugar"
But all the efforts of wits and other oppo-
nents could not turn Napoleon from his
firm purpose, nor prevent the ultimately
triumphant success of the sugar culture,
which is now SO ilourishingi in France that
to prevent the utter destruction of hcl
West India Sugar Colonies, she is Obliged
to impose a tai upon sugar madc a

TIE FREsnET.-Thc heavy rains and
mild weather of the last few days have
broken up the ice in the Mohawk and
lloosick Rivers, and have caused an cx-
tensive flood IN the Undson, opposite
this city. We learn also that at the VII
lagos of Waterford and Lansinburgh the
water has reached a greater height than
has been known for years. The Rail
Road Bridge across the north sprout of
the Mohawk, near the former place, has
been carried away, and much damage
has been done to lumber and other prop
crty exposed to injury. The water is still
rising rapidly, and there is every prospect
that the river opposite the city will be
clear of ice.-Troy Wig, FEB. II.

GLORIOUS VICTORY
A Wig Gooernor far three Years IN
the OM DOminiOn.

The Steamboat mail, in bringing the
Courier Il Enquirer of Saturday morning
furnishes us with the cheering intelligence
that the Virginia Legislature made choice
on the eighth ballot, of Thomas w. Gin CT
as Governor of that Commonwealth for
three years from the 3lst of March next.
Mr. Gilmcr is one of the most firm and
unhmching Wings in the Old Dominion.
He is the present Speaker of the House,
and has been for years the Wing candi-
date from the county of Albermarle.
There appears to be an incurracy in
the statement of the vote in the Courier
d Enquirer. The following we should
should infer to be the correct version -
For Gilmer, (Whig) SO
Mcdowell, (Tory) GS
Nicholas, (Tory) II
Scattering, (Whig) 2
Gilmer's majority over all others,
Total Wing majority.
1t is fact worthy of observation, that
Mcdowell did not receive the full party
vote of the Tories. He is one Of the
most thorough-going hard money Loco
Focos in Virginia-and in addition, the
brothcr-in-law of Thomas II. Benton
