MISCELL AN EOUS.
A Pennsylvania Thief.

We like to see thing done we'll, and every
thing perfect in its kind. 1t is said that Mr.
George White, here referred to, was, in his
youth, very pious, and was intended for the min
istry. There can be no doubt that he would have
been an ornament to the pulpit ifhe had devoted
himselfto the ministry instead of the business ol
stealing:
We have heretofore related several anecdotes
of George White, who once had wider notori.
ETY. as thief than any other man, and who was
an inmate of almost every jail and prison of this
Commonwealth. Another one has recently come
to our ears, from the most authentic source. and
deserves q record.
White was once arraigned for stealing, before
a court over which Judge Sedgwick (from whose
lips the story comes) presided. James Sullivan
was the Attorney General, and urged the case
for the government. In the course of the speech,
one of the jury leaning forward, rested his elbow
on his knee and covered his eyes with his hands.
White rose up in the bar, and addressing the
speaker, said: "You may as we'll STOP Mr.. Sui
Ivan; you have talked one of the jury to sleep!''
Sullivan, who was quick and passionate, turned
to the bar exclaiming with much vehemence -
I"You thief! Your forehead bears the letter Il.
which stamps your character"-and proceeded
TO lecture him most severely for his frequent ar
aignments, not forgetting 10 tell him of the nine
Indictments then pending against him at that
court. The whole audience was aroused into
the highest pitch of attention by this singular
scene. White stood as unmoved as marble, and
when it was finished, quietly remarked: "You
may proceed with your argument, Mr.. Sullivan
you hare naked him up" The audience wa.
convulsed with aughtet, Judge s. remarkinl
that he never In bis life found it SO difficult a
then 10 maintain the dignity TINT belonged to hi

The Encyclopedia Britannica, 7th edition.

The Accusation Of EOmisiama.

The Paris correspondent of the National In.
telligencer, Robert Walsh, Esq, notices in his
last letter the fourth volume of Thiers' History
of the Consulate and the Empire, Just published
The following passage is quoted from it:
"When a renewal of the war with England
seemed no longer doubtful, all the colonizing
dreams of the First Consul vanished His reso.

of his Mnsters) province which would not be

them and the English, and will raise up for En-
gland enemies who will one day revenge us, II
we should not be able 10 revenge ourselves. My
resolution is settled. As the Americans have NJ
territory 10 give me in exchange for Louisiana,
will sell it to them for sum that may pay the
expenses of an extraordinary armament against
Great Britain herself"
"Thus," adds the historian, ''did the Amer
cans acquire from France that vast region which
has completed. their sway over North Americs
and rendered them masters of the Gulf of MeX
CO for the present and all the future. Thus, they
owe their birth and greatness as a nation to the
long struggle Of France against England thei

possessed ourselves of Louisiana, without Frencl
cooperation; yet adds, "but we should acknow.

suits"

ADIZ, WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER TO- 1845
Runaway Match.

"The course of true love never did run
smooth is line of Shakespeare ohener quoted
than any other the great bard ever penned. All
young girls who have finty y-hearted fathers, and
therefore are compelled by hard fate TO runaway
with their lovers for the purpose of committing
matrmony, have il at their tongues end. 1t af-
fords them consolation for the hasly step they
have taken. We never knew an instance yet
of young girl elopng and marrying contrary TO
the express commands of her father, that public
sympathy did not go with them, though of course
there are some who sympathize with the father,
but then they are fathers whose daughters have
served them the same trick. What majority of
young ladies who commit such acts of disobe-
dience and afterwards repent their rashness, we
are not enabled 10 say, but we rather guess it is
large.
About two years ago, young man named
W came to this city with friend from ST.
Louis, who came for the purpose of building "A
steamboat, he to be clerk of her when she came
out. In his intercourse with society, he be-
came acquainted with Amanda Nc, the
daughter of Mr. Nc, of Sycamore street.
They lived and loved, and would marry, but the
father forbid the bans, and, smohering their dis
appointment as we'll as they could, looking to the
future to bring all things right, he took the clerks
department of the biggest boat that ever left our
port, and she secluded herself to live on love
and bread and butter On the 10th that was
the date eXacy-Mr w. returned to our city,
and found means 10 see his lady love. She was
as full of affection as ever, but more anxious
as what lady would not be, after lapse of two
iyears-to have the title of Mrs. prefixed to her
name than ever. They were satisfied the con
sent of the father could not be obtained, and
they settled upon candestine marriage Mr..
Nc received intelligence day before yester-
day, from friend whose grand daughter had re-
Gently served him the srme trick, that an elope-
ment was contemplated. He went home to charge
her with it, and also to prevent it, but as he en-
tered the front door he caught glimpse of a la
dy's dress gliding out of the back door, lmme'
diate chase was given, but the young blood and
light feet ofthe lady proved too swift for the time
worn pedestals of the old gentleman. She es.
capped, went to friends house, INTEL gence was
conveyed to her lover, and in the evening, by the
light the moon, might be seen carriage hur-
rying along the river road to the Gretna Green oI
Ohio, at the rate of fifteen miles an hour, and in
that carriage was the lovely Amanda and Mr..
W, who doubtless made her Mrs. W
some time during the day yesterday, unless pre-.
vented by the greater speed of the young lady'S

The Ohio Banks took nearly all the amount of
81 ,35S,6lS, with the exception of $3OO,OOO
taken by the Bank of Commerce and Manhattan
Bank. The others are all Wall street brokers or
have agencies in Wall street. Now it appears
that three individuals, ]. S. Lake, owner of the
Bank of Wooster, Ohio, lately became deposi-
tory; and ]. N. Perkins, for many years Cashier
of the Ohio Life and Trust, also depository ;and
r. III. Winsow took nearly one-half of all the
Ohio stocks issued Of the 81 100000 seven
per cent. stock issued in lS43, they took S37,-
500. About the same time, Mr.. Perkins resign
ed the Cashiershp of the Ohio Life and Trust,
and united in business with Mr.. Wnslow, as
Winslow & Perkins, and are the agents now of
the Bank of Wooster, owned by Mr. Lake.
These three gentlemen have taken, within four
years,nea SO, 100000 for themselves and clients,
and the Ohio Banks some $2,000,000 in addi-
ton. These are partly pledged under the Ohio
Bank law for issues, and small portion with the
federal government for loans of its money with
out interest. The stocks taken by Barring Broth
ers, or Prime, Ward & King, were to some eX-
tent sold in Europe; about $5OO,OOO perhaps
under the administration formed in Paris by the
house of Hotnguer and others, to introduce
American stocks upon the Bonrse. We believe,
however, that all these stocks were returned up
on this market subsequently, and sold. Nearly
the same parties took all the issues of Ohio
stock back to 1925, when Eleazer Lord, of the
Erie Railroad, took the first lot $201 900. The
whole Ohio debt outstanding is as follows

there were issued in that period ST. ,423,0 600 Of
stock, of which S9l5,000 was to j. n Perkins,
$lS7,000 to ]. S. Lake, and the balance to
banks and brokers, Now it is evident from all
these facts, that, considering the state of the
markets in the last four years, during which
those $l0,000,000 of Ohio stock have been
put out, very small portion only has been alb
sorbed for permanent investment in the hands of
capitalists Probably not more has been taken
in that way than has returned from Europe of
prior issues, and that the whole amount--SlO,-
100000 is held at prices far below curen,
rates on speculation. These stocks were sold
on the New York Exchanges at 50, and are now
at 06. A stock so situated cannot be good
security for banking or for government financial
operations"
Truly, mot good security for banking or gov
