THE SANDWICH IsLANDs.-The Washington
correspondent OF the New York Journal of Com
merce, says:
The rumor that the British and French ministers
had entered protest against the annexation of the
Sandwich Islands TO the United States, is without
foundation, at present. There has, however, been
a correspondence between these ministers and Mr.
Marcy on the subject 1t is probable that they have

GENERAL JACKsoN's ErDELITr IN THE
PAYMENT OF Ills DEBTS. Col. Benton
has published "reminiscences of General
Jackson, which are peculiarly interesting,
as they show the inner life of the Old
Hero. The following traits of character
illustrates one of the passages:
"Of private debts he contracted none
of his own, and made any sacrifices to
get out of those incurred for others. Of
this he gave signal instance not long
before the war of 1Sl2-selling the i'm
proved part Of his estate, with the best
buildings of the country upon it, 10 pay
debt incurred in mercantile adventure
to assist young relative, and going into
log houses in the forest part to begin
new home and farm. He was living in
these rude tenements when'he vanquished
the British at New Orleans; and, proba.
bly, view of the conqueror's domicil
would have astonished the British off,
GERS as much as their defeat had done"

SPIRITUAL RAPPINGS.-The editor of
the Milwaukee Free Democrat records
one of the most astonishing cases of
spiritual rappings that has come TO our
knowledge. We are not informed who
the medium" was, but conclude it was
the three thousand people assembled at
the Court House. The =. demonstration"
was certainly very striking. Here is the
account:
1--WE have ascertained, beyond doubt,
that the Jail was opened and Glover
liberated, by means of Spirital Rappings.
Judge Miller assured the committee who
waited On him, that the Marshal was
under his control, that he should not
obey the writ of habeas corpus, and that
no earthly power could take Glover from
the Jail till Monday morning at 10 O'Clock.
This last assurance he repeated with
emphasis. of course, if liberated, accord
ing to Judge Miller, it must have been
by some unearthly or spiritual power.
A large piece Of scantling. that lay in
the yard Of one of the spiritualists, was
seen to move jail-ward, and rap with
considerable vehemence, and continued
its motion till the doors burst open.
There were also rappings all around the
yard, and the mediums seemed to be null
tiplied indefinitely. 1t is the first time
we have known the rappings turned to
practical account here. We trust that
after such demonstrations, there will be
no diSputing the spiritual rappings in
this community"
