THE PUBLIC DEBT.

Tie conduct ofthe high iunctionaries OF Gov ern
ment and their official organ on this subj"cl has
been throughout, a course Of disguise, of conceal

The Globe complains of the charges that have
been urged against tho Administration, of having
brought the country deep into debt-charges with
which the whole land has been ringing since the
called session Of lS37-which are, by no means,
confined TO politicians, but which every man OF
common information knows TO be true. viii the

Administration no less then thirty three millions,

While too great degree of caution cannot be
observed to avoid sleeping in damp rooms, beds,
or clothing, the temperature OF the bed chamber
should if possible, never be augmented, under
the ordinary circumstances of health, by artificial
means. As this apartment is to be reserved solely
for repose a fire is never necessary, excepting,
perhaps, during uncommonly severe weather; and
even then the temperature ought not to exceed
fifty degrees.

AMUSING PARODY,

ON GOLD GRIMES is DEAD"
Old Brinde's dead, that good old COW,
We ne er shall see her more,
She had pair of legs behind,
A pair of legs before.
Oh she was gentle as dove,
And knew no base design;
She had two horns her head above,
Like any other kline.
Her beauty, ma Tuur p'""'o s--~,
She nuver brought to view,
Nor made noise on rainy days,
As other cattle do.
In winter she was fed on hay,
We cut the fodder fine;
She gave eight quarts of milk day,
On Sunday she gave nine.
And Just at sunset every night,
She came home without fail
She never felt disposed to fight,
And meier kicked DER the pail.
She sought her friends 'mong other cows
With whom she won esteem;
She never kicked up any rows,
But always gave good cream.
Oh she was generous to fault,
Betrayed no idle fears,
She never yet refused salt
She wore pair of ears.
She much by nature was endowed,
Though thorns her path beset,
And oil the other cattle bowed,
Whenever her they met.
And now she's gone TO her long home,
We mourn aud ever shall,
For every body said she was
A fine old animal.

But that enormous sum, proved by Mr. Webster
the floor of the Senate, is not the whole amount
Of the Administrators outlay beyond its insome.-
The true state of the National debt is not yet
known by the country. We are glad that the
matter has been taken up in the House of Rep
resentatves The resolutions of inquiry moved
by the distinguished representative from Albany,
Mr.. BARNARD, cover wide field. They will put
the nation on the right scent. We feel assured
that these subjects will be thoroughly sfted and
that then neither we, nor our readers, nor the
public will be at loss regarding the state of the
public debt,-the real charges on the treasury
and the whole management Of our financial con-
cerEs,-. Modisoniun.

was to put M. de Chabot, the Kings commits

having settled, according to their respective in
sruciions, the manner OF proceeding to the exhu-
nation of the Remains OF the Emperor Napoleon

plans. The Governor charged himself with the

honors TO be paid on the 18th aud 10Th by the di-

assistance. Al midnight on the 18th the opera
ton commenced in the presence of the French
anG English commissioners, nj. dc Chabot and
Captain Alexander, of the Royal Engineers. The
works were directed by the latter. As NJ. de Cha
