The Washington correspondent of the Charles ton Conner says, the Sub-Treasury Bill may bow be considered as having passed the Senate ; the salaries of the Receivers General are $5,000 at New York ; $3,000 at New Oceans ; $2,500 at St. Louis, Charleston and Philadelphia res pectively. - The Philadelphia North American says: Mr. Cowperthwaile, Cashier of the United States Bank, left Philadelphia on Wednesday, on a visit to Vicksburg, to look after the interests of the Bank in that quarter. *» ‘ “ ’ The small pox seems to be making lamentable ravages in Boston.

After being at tacked so unmercifully, both by the Editor and “Anna dear,” it would be unjust to refuse him a hearing. It did not frighten him so bad to see 4 himself in print as we imagined. He seems to have strong nerves, and bears himself quite firmly. The Washington Correspondent of the Charles ton Courier, says :—The abolition subject was again discussed all day, in the House. Mr. Cooper, of Ga, opened the debate this morning, in a sensible speech on the question. One of his views was that it did not become the South to offer qny resolution in relation to her own rights, but that she should wait and see what the nqrth had to propose, and act accordingly. He courted the discussion so far as iht North was concerned, am) the South had a n ght to know what th«ie were. He discussion i»f the question of the jurisdiction of the House over the subject of Slavery, and showed that, under the Constitu tion, they could not legislate upon it. Whence he inferred that there was no right to agitate the Suestioa in Congress, by the presentation of pe itions, or offering any proposition!. Mr. Biddle, of Penn., spoke in an eloquent and affectionate strain, in regard to Southern rights and interests, which he avs-wved his deter mination to maintain, on this and all other occa tidhs. ? Correspondence of the Baltimore American. Washington, January 16, 1840. ■OCSE OP REPRESENTATIVES. It is becoming a comman occurrence in the House of Repiesentatives to open the session with personal explanations. The matter of pub lic printing and public printers, at d certain can didates for public printing, opened the ball this morning. Mr. Mitchell, of New York, having been charged with making certain negotiations in re gard to the subject, asked the attention of the House in respect to it. His name!had been used in the Globe of Monday night in ati article, which aa regarded himself he pronounced to be false. He had written a letter to Gen. Green, which he greatly regretted he was not now |jei milled to lav before the public. If he ever laid; hands upon it he should publish it, and should Ue glad then to nave any member of the House? to make anv movement be thought proper in regard to it. As far as I remember the contemn of my letter, said Mr, Mitchell, I staled that I Was anxious to elect Gales dc Seaton—that I had such an objec tion to Blair & Rives that I should be glad to haw Gen. Green instead of Unira for public printer—that I believed Gen. Green could be elected. I said nothing of votes ot| certain friends m the South. I wrote the ietlcr klso upon my own, sole responsibility, withoutco.fsuiting friends ~,and without taking any advice whatever. The charge m the Globe about securing votes is en tirely groundless. If ; uch a letter was an over ttire o bribery, the word does not-mean what it did, and no one would make such a charge but n .J° and “k. a bribe Mr. M'lchell .Iluded to the .nicle jn , he G | obe >nJ Uie .lawmen. nwd. that M[ . Flstl ,, r of N- c . ro , OrintThe * h ™ “ G «"- Mr. Hunter from the Chair, interrupt him and said that ue knew nothing us the . , ’ ' * Globe until he saw if in the Globe— t h a l he in no way advised its publication, or advised its appearance—that he disapproved of the conten- tion—and further had made no ch, y*e ° f Mr. Mitchell made some allusion to Mr. Fisher, which drew him oot to explain his agency in lh Mr. a Filher said that he regretted that his name had been used. He had no ambit,onlotecon nected with inch matters. He should tell a plain story which would explain how far he was con nected, and to do this it was necessary t> make two or three corrections of the article v,\,.cb ap peared in the Globe. Some time since he had received a letter from Duff Green, inclosing one from Mr. Mitchell from New York. The contents of Mr. Mitchell’s letter, as near as he could recollect, were his aversion to Blair & Rives—his belief that Gales & Seaton could not be elected—his preference of Gen. Green his belief thb.i he could be re-elected—bis opunon that the profits of printing were $30,000— his further opinion that some arrangement could be made with Gales and Seaton to have the printing done in their office—and that by such an arrange ment the profits might be divided—Duff Green receiving $20,000 and Gales and Seaton SIO,OOO. I did not call this bribery said Mr. Fisher, nor did you Mr. Speaker, when I showed you the Mr. F. further said that he showed Mr. Mitchell s and Gen. Geen’s letters to a fellow lodger, a member from South Carolina. Mr. Holmes, the member alluded to, spoke of himself as having been made a particeps cnmi nis in this natter. The letters alluded to were shown to him, and without charging that they contained overtures of bribery, he thought the propositions very extraordinary, and told Mr. Fisher that he supposed by and by he should be come initiated, for he had heard much of the cor ruptions of members of Congress. Mr. Mitchell said that the member from North Carolina had confounded his proposition to Gen. Duff Green with General Green’s to him. I ask the member from North Carolina if I did not state in ray letter that I wished nothing to be done inconsistent with public duty. Mr. Fisher did not remember all the contents of the letter. It might have been said, and pro bably was, as the gentleman had remarked. The matter closed here. [Since the Baltimore mail arrived, Mr. Mitch ell allowed n.e the following copy of a letterj Baltimore, Jan. 15, 1840. “Dear Sir-—I have just seen the article in the Globe, in which mention is made of your letter. I need not assure you that I shall repel the impu tation. I have not time to prepare a copy, bu» will send one by the next mail. Your friend, DUFF GREEN. Loss of the Ship Harold of Boston.— This ship, was destroyed by fire at sea, Oct. 26, in iat4,3o, 8. Jon 26,25 W. The Boston Daily Advertiser gires tha following particulars: “Five persons, Mr. Henry Parkman, (grand son of the late Samuel Parkman, Esq.) of Bos ton, one of the supercargoes ; Mr. Henry Irving, of Boston; Bell, of New Hampshire, (son of Gov. Beil) passengers; Mr. Samuel P. Nash, first officer, of Boston, and one seaman. Capt. Howes, Mr. Win. Austin, another supercargo, the second officer and the remainder of the crew, after being seven days in the long boat, landed at a place about 30 miles north of Pernambuco, to which place they proceeded, and then Mr. Aus tin, under date of Nov. 5, wrote to his brother in this city, via Liverpool and New York. Ho refers to a previous letter forwarded to the Unit ed States by the first opportunity. This letter, although it vrould under ordinary circumstances have been expected to have reached its destina tion earlier, has not yet come to hand. Mr. Davidson, who went out passenger in the Harold, is supposed to have embarked in her for home. If so, he is undoubtedly among those who were saved. The loss by the Harold, including vessel, cargo, freight, «kc„ is supposed to be near ly, if not entirely covered by insurance at eight I or nine offices in this city, to the amount of $lll,OOO. The cargo of the Harold, consisted of 3744 bags Saltpetre; 48 chests Indigo ; 78 bales Cow Hides; 62 do Goat skins; 39 do Buffalo hides; 441 bags Ginger; 32 bales cotton Goods; 1745 bags Linseed ; 226 bales 436 bdls Gunny bags; 36 bales Gunny cloth; 450 do hemp; 200boxes Teel Oil. i | U. S. Senator. —The bill for the election of a Senator in Congress appoints this day for the , choice, and we do not doubt that Nathaniel P . Talmadge has been elected. Vexatious and em barrassing as this may be to the administration, it is a just retribution for persecution and pro scription. Mr. Talmadge violated no fixed prin -1 ci P le or recognized doctrines of the democratic party. If the President says, “I am in favor of uniting the parse and the sword,” or “I am in favor of giving all the public lands to the new States,” is a citizen and a Senator to be “knocked down and dragged out,” metaphorically speaking, because he dissents from such doctrines ? The case of Mr. Talmadge is only one of a thousand in the democratic ranks. The party so long in power in this State, imagined that they could afford to drive out, one after the other, for presuming to doubt the infallibility of men and measures—not for being recreant to principles. We see what the result is ; and it should be a lesson for leaders of all parties— not to suppose that their position is so strong—their seats so se cure, that they can afford to be unjust or pro scriptive to men in their own ranks. Mr. Rives, who was included in the denunciation with Mr. Talmadge, may be re-elected also from Virginia, if he pleases, to conform to the views of some who wish to ascertain his position about General Harrison. —New York Star of the 14 th. One of the by-laws for the government of the i Bank of the State of North Carolina requires that, j at the general meeting of the stockholders, a re- I P°y t i sh f !l made setting forth the amount of ndebteuncss, as well of directors as of stockhol ders who are not directors. At the recent meet ing of the stockholders, such a report was made, and it appeared that out of a debt due the princi pal Bank of $714,000 only $23,000 are owing by stockholders, of which $7,000 are due from di rectors, and $16,000 from stockholders not direc tors. A parallel to this can be found, we imagine, but in few ranking institutions.— Register. I rom the Providence Journal. Factories Burnt— The stone cotton mill in Attleboro, owned by Messrs Draper & Tilß was burnt Friday night, together with the whole of thL> machinery and stock. The mill was run by Mr. Samuel Shore of this citv. The factory was insured by the Georgia Insurance Company for $3,000, and the machinery and stock for $7 - 000 at the American office, of this city. On Friday morning, the Sattinet manufactory belonging to the Messrs Eddys, at Pascoag, Bur nllville, was burnt down, together with the stock and machinery. Messis. Eddvs’ loss was about insured at the .Etna office, Hartford, for mm Mr ’ F ’ C * Dudlej run the mi,l » his ]oss ?-,ukh); no insurance. Another rcmored Bank Fravd.—A “ on the 13th and 14th. that the \ icksburg Bank had entirely exploded and that there had been a fraudulent issue at the South, of nm« thousand shares of th* on what authority the rumor w as f (Vln but it had an effect on stocks. A late a 1 *l’ says that a gentleman from Vicksburg whThffi there after the date of the rumored explosion states that when he left “ nothing of the kind was known, or had been heard of there.” By the following curious “statistics of drink ing” it will be seen that Scotland in proportion . to her population,consumes nearly twice as muon spirits as Ireland, and over three times as much as England i . Spirit Drinkiro- — The spirit shops in Glasgow amounted, at the last census, to one in every ten houses throughout the city. The pro portion is, of course, greater in the low districts. The following is the amount of spirits consumed in England, Ireland and Scotland England, population, 13,897,187; galls, of spirits, 12-341,* 238. Ireland, population, 7,767,401; galls, o spirits 12,293,464, Scotland, population, 2,365,- 114; galls, of spirits 7,767,715. Thus it appears that the quantity of spirits annually consumed in England, is seven pints and one ninth per head on the population ; in Ireland, rather more than thirteen pints per head; and in Scotland, twenty three pints per head. When tbs drunkards in Glasgow become too poor to saticte their appetite for spirits, they now resort in a great measure to laudanum, which, in an unadulterated stale, is consumed in considerable quantities, and regular ly sold by many of the chemists. A fire destroyed the pork-house of Stcenberger, Williams & Co., at Indianapolis, on the 22d ult. Loss estimated at from 40 to $60,000. The papers already begin to talk of a succes sor to Mr. Kendall, his present affliction, —rbeu- mstism in the stomach—rendering it altogether probable that he will have to leave the Post Office. Gov. Marcy of New York, is spoken of as his successor. The Navi of France.— According to the report of the French Minister of Marine, under date of November 25th, 1839, the number of ves sels of war in actual service on the several regu lar stations—viz: the coasts of the Peninsula, Brazil, South America, the Antilles, Cayenne, Mexico, the coasts ol Africa, the Levant, Bour bon, Terra Nueva, Algiers, is one hundred and thirty; and their united crews amount to twenty thousand four hundred and ninety-eight men. The classification is as follows: SAILING VESSELS OF WAR. 8 Ships of the line. 12 Frigates. 10 Corvettes of war. 6 Corvettes avisos of 18 guns. 14 Brigs of from 16 to 20 guns. 5 Cannoneer brigs of 18 guns. 10 Brigs avisos of 10 guns. 13 Goelettes, cutters, &c., of from 6 to 8 guns. 12 Flotilla vessels. r SAILING VESSELS OF BURTHEN. 8 Corvettes of burden. 12 Cabarres. STEAM VESSELS. 3 of 220 horse power. 14 of 150 do. 3 of 120 do. 130 In addition to the above force there aie twenty four armed vessels, eight of which are kept in station as a reserve to meet contingencies on the regular stations, while the other sixteen remain commissioned in port. They are thus classifi ed. IN STATION. Ships of the line 2 F rigates 3 Covettes of war 1 I Brigs 2 g COMMISSIONED IN PORT. Ships of the line and Frigates 5 Vessels of inferior rank 11 ]g 24 According to the terms of the royal order of February, 1837, “says the Minister in his report,” the naval strength of the kingdom ought in times of peace to consist of 40 ships of the line, 50 fri gates, and 220 vessels of inferior rank, 40 steam vessels being included. These 220 vessels are afloat; half only of the ships of the line and the frigates is to be launched; the other half is to re main on the stocks. a complete state of armament, this union or force would present, with an effective force of 78,000 men, a battery of 9,200 guns. The amount of duties accrued at the Custom House in New York, for the three quarters of the year ending 30th September, 1839, is as follows: Ist quarter, 4,309,500 21 2d do 3,688,864 42 3d do 4,195,790 39 Amount of three first quarters of 1838, 7,778.813 85 7,778,813 85 Difference in favor of 1839 $4,415,341 71 From the Farmer's Monthly Visiter. Arnold’s Escape* Mr. Ebenezer Chase was a private in the New Hampshire militia, which relieved the Pennsylva nia line at West Point in 1780, when those troops being veteran, were wanted elsewhere. Mr. C. with several others, being off duty, was on the shore of the Hudson when Arnold deserted When Gen. Washington assigned him the com mand of West Point, he left his own barge in his possession. A temporary hut was erected on the east shore for the accommodation of the four oarsmen who managed the barge. On the morn ing of his desertion, Gen. Arnold rude down to the shore, from his head quarters at Robinson’s farm, very fast, as was his custom—threw the reins to his attendant, and ordered the barge to e manned. He then directed his course towards the Point; but on reaching the middle of the riv er, the boat was observed to take a course down stream, and move very swiftly through the water, i he exp anation was afterwards made by the ♦?% h r° 1 .

On nearing ?rn V M U * a ? d , bemg within range of her guns, Arnold opened his plan saying, “I have served the ungrateful scoundrels long enough,” and de clared if they would go with him they should have double pay, and be made sergeants in the B ritish service. One of the men replied that “he "'I no !, unde ratam] fighting on both sides.” pThen, said the General, ‘you are my prison- When they came along side the sloop of war Arnold ascended the deck, and was received by the mariners with presented arms. He then or dered the men to come on board as prisoners of war. One of them who bad been their spokes man just before, said “it was a shabby trick as they had toiled to their utmost strength to’get the boat along, now to refuse the promised re ward and make them prisoners to boot.” The English captain heard their murmurs, and step pmg forward observed—“ G en .

The boatmen thanked the gallant and g«n- I'orous sailor, and returned in safety tens to report their proceeding* to Gen- W ton, who had just arrived in camp. Arnold, cha grined and enraged, retired without uttering a word, to the cabin of the sloop of war. This statement was made by Mr. Chase about a fortnight before his death in 1831. He also slated that he saw Major Andre going to execu tion riding in the centre of a troop of light horses. Arnold, before his escape, had received infor mation that * John Anderson,’ the name with which he had filled Andre’s pass, was taken. The information was sent by the unfortunate person himself. This determined his purpose for sudden flight. He was afterwards distin guished for the inveteracy in which he earned on his predatory warfare against the property ot his fellow countrymen. After the war he went to England ; where although he received the countenance of the British government, his good intentions in his unsuccessful plot against the liberty of his country were despised by the Brit ish officers. The unfeeling wretch called upon the widowed mother and sister of his unfortunate victim (Andre.) The servant announced to them the name of Gen. Arnold; and they imme diately returned a message that they did n<n de sire to see him. From the Southern Literary Messenger for January . The Dying Eagle. BV WILLIAM WALLACE.

GEORGIA, Richmond County: Tne Grand Jury, chosen and selected for the first week of January Term, 1840, in pursuance of their duties make the following presentments: We present as a grievance req tiring the ener getic action of the proper authorities, the practice of trading with negro slaves, and especially the sale and traffic in ardent spirits, with negroes sent to market with produce. It is believed by the Jury, that there are numerous shops kept on the various roads leading to the city, and also within its corporate limits, whose main support is derived from this unlawful traffic. If these shops are li censed by the Inferior Court or City Authorities, we would present that as an evil which cads loud ly for a thorough reform, or if not licensed, we would urge the prosecution of every offender; and in order to ascertain fully this fact, the Jury respectfully request His Honor the Judge of the Superior Court to direct that the magistrates or constables in the several districts of the county, shall call on every retailer of spirituous liquors, and ascertain if licenses has been granted them, and if any are found retailing without a license, or have abused that privilege, that they be report ed to the Grand Jury of the succeeding weeks, or of the next Term of Court. The Jury would also respectfully ask the atten tion of the Honorable Inferior Court to this sub ject, and earnestly request that no person be li censed, to retail spirits in this county, except those of known good character, and that every applicant for license, be required to produce a cer tificate oi good character, signed by twelve res pectable free-holders, residents of the district, ap proving of such license being granted. Whilst on this: subject we take the liberty of suggesting to the Honorable City Council of Augusta, the propriety of adopting similar measures of precau tion in all licenses to sell spirituous liquors gran.- ed by them. We have examined, by Committees, the Re cords of the Superior and Inferior Courts, and also of the Court of Ordinary, the Poor House and Jail, and subjoin the following report: Committee on Records—Report, that the books and papers are all carefully and neatly kept.— They further report, that there are many of the old Record Books, which are much out of repair, and many of them falling to pieces, and would recommend tkai they be speedily rebound and put in perfect order, under the superintendence and direction of the clerk. Committee on the Poor House—Report that they found the house in as good order as the situation of the inmates will admit of—with one exception, all those who are within its walls ap pear satisfied with the treatmentthey have receiv ed—and the number amo mts to fourteen, (14,) nine males, lour females and one infant. There are two aged persons placed in this institution, by the City Council of Augusta; one a native or New York, and the other of Virginia, who ask the interference of the Grand Jury to have them removed to their homes, and one of them states, that he has a competent support when at home. Committee on the Jail—Report, after a thor ough examination, the same to be in a very neat condition, which reflects credit on the keeper. We request these presentments, except those in which indictments may be founded, be published in the gazettes of this city. Edward Thomas, Foreman. William F. Pemberton, Thomas Tobin, behemiah K.
