COUNTERFEITERS.

charged with having attempted 10 pass
counterfeit, ten dollar note of the Planters
and Mechanics Bank of this city ; and on
examination before the Mayor aud Il. {.

MR nENroN AND TEXAS.

In the SeRa,e, on the 20lh instant, Mr..
Benton presented a series of resolutions
from the Legislature of Missouri, in favor
Of the annexation OF Texas. In presenting
these resolutions, Mr.. Benton remarked,
that no State in the Union was more inter-
ested in the question Of annexation than
was the State Of Missouri aud that inter
cs, was both special and general. II was
undoubtedly the wish of that State, and Of
its Legislature, that Texas should be adj
United cons,itu,ionally, and upon such prin-
pies as should conduce to the peace and
harmony Of the Union.

MARRIAGE vs.. INSANITY.

Few people are aware how much more
insanity prevails among bachelors and un.
married ladies' than among the married OF
both sexes. We learn from the examina-
ton of very many reports, that OF every
five Of all lunatics sent to American hos
pitfalls, three are unmarried, and only two
are married, and that almost all OF them
are over2l years old. On the other hand,
ii is pretty certain that in all the commu-
nifty over 81 years of age, there are more
than three times as many in as out OF we'd
lock. IL this be the case, then the unmar
ricd are more than four times as liable tc
become insane as married people.

A HISTORICAL FACT.

BY reference TO the map OF Delaware,
it will be seen that the boundary between
that State and PENNSYLVANIA is of Il semi
circular form, as if drawn with malhemat-
zeal accuracy. The Germanton Tele-
graph says it was so drawn. William
Penn presented to his daughter Letitia acir
cult, of which Newcastle was the centre, of
fifteen miles round, which he called Letitia
Manor and il is that which gives the sin.
gular appearance to the boundary line
1t was originally designed to be a portion
of Pennsylvania.
