CHROMCJ.K AND SENTINEL. AU(JISTA. SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 2a. CouKress. Nothing of moment has transpired in either branch of Congress. In the House, the Aboli tion petition question was still under discussion. A bill has been introduced into the Legislature of Pennsylvania to repeal the c harter of the Bank of the United States. A aplendid dinner was given to Judge White .1 Washington city, after hi. re.tgnM.on, at which Mr. Preston prided. The following tout was given. “ Hugh L. White.—A statesman withont fear and without reproach.” The Hon. N.P. Talraadge has been elected Senator to Congress from the State of New York for six years from the 4lh of March, 1839’ by a majority of 18 votes. poetry is unavoidably laid over ntiln Monday. There is reason to apprehend that we may yet have a war with England, on account, of the Maine Boundary. The articles below are rather ominous of such an event . From the N. York Courier and Enquirer , IS th mst. We copy from the Montreal Herald of the 14th inst, the following memorandum extracted by that paper from the Quebec Mercury , and issued by Sir John Harvey. It is certainly a very extraordinary document, and should receive attention at Washington : In the Quebec Mercury of Thursday last, we findjihe following Memorandum issued by His Excellency Sir John Harvey, the Lieut. Gover nor the Province of New B.unwick. We Bo n ot know the motives which have induced His Excellency to issue it. but it may possibly be in consequence of information he received from the Jmperial Government, that, in the event of Messrs. Featharslonhaugh and Mudge’s re port cf their survey <»f the disputed territory agreeing with the position already maintained by Great Britain, the whole energies of the empire will be called into action to enforce our posses sion of it, even at the cost of a war with the United Slates. Although these gentlemen have not allowed the particulars of their report to transpire, it is more than probable that its details are in the possession of Sir John Harvey, and ; >that they are in our favor. In case of a general war, the recommendations of Sir John a r e ex tremely judicious, and we understand they were acted upon with the most beneficial during the war of 1812 and the subsequent yeajs. — MEMORANDUM, j I am desirous of impressing upon thej inhab itants of the homier districts of this Province, that in the event of hostilities with the U nited States, the most prudent course to lie pursued (on eiljier side, for the measure to be effectu I must be reciprocalJ would in my opinion be t lat of a strict neutrality. Let the Borderers re nember that as connected with the war, if we shi old un “happily be compelled to engage in one. n ration al object can possibly be advanced by an; display on their part of Hostile feelings towards esdlh other -ilhey might, it is true, mutually subj. t each other to constant alarms, great calaniitie suffer ing and distress—but their utmost efforts oust be as aadrop of water in the dcterminatioi of the great National Questions at issue, whi' i must be decided elsewhere by the naval and lilitary resources of the Great Powers the conflict. And let the inhabitants of this Prov ince repose with confidence upon the protection of the Parent State, which is alike able and willing to throw her powerful shield over all who have a just claim to her protection and defence. From the National Intelligencer of 2'ft. The Boundary Question. —We unless ourselves startled at the serious charactei of the remarks made on Friday last in the Ser ate, by Mr. Buchanan and others, upon the Maine Boundary question. Mr. Buchanan is th chair man of the Senate’s Committee on Fore gn Re lations; and to whatever falls from hirn.ll irefore, on the subject of those relations, much co sidera lion is justly due. We are pained to lea l i, from his lips, that serious difficulti'es are appn 'tended with the British Government before the ‘ontro versv concerning the boundary is hrouagit to a close. Wc are, we repeat, sorry to hear ’t. hav ing confidence in the honorable Senator ’hat he would not say so if he did not think so W e had hoped—nay, we still hope—better things. We cannot bring ourselves to lielieve that tie dis pute upon this point can be carried to e tremi liea between two Nations having the goo feel ' ing towards each other which the Peoj le and Governments of Great Britain and the Jnited States n>w really have. Enotfgh was said in the brief debate of Satur day; by every gentleman who took part i it, to wake up public attention, which, in this art of the country at least, his been profoundly isdeep, in reference to the whole matter, ever si ce the effect of the agreement between Mr, Forsj h and Mr. Fox was ascertained to bo to prew t any bloodshed, for the lime, between the bordei rs. • * Correspondence of the National Intellige yr. New York, J;uiuary 18, 1 10. The British Queen is due. In all prolf faility she will lie iu before Monday. Her news rl-pect ing the flour market and money affairs is fleet ed to be important. Anxiety as to the united States Bank is over, but the probable cor lition of Great^ Britain as to her crops is an i or irtant question.® If she it to be a Urge buyer of read, the prospect lor trade there is poor.

The New York Gazette alludes to Mr. Ken dall’s plan of smuggling the mail, and thus de. nounces that mean and disreputable measure : “ We are no croakers—no indiscriminate abu sers of any act of the Administration, to which | we are opposed—fair men of all parties we believe | will allow us this credit at least; but we do say in full sincerity, and free, wc trust, of all improper bias, that unless the President removes the present Post Master General by his own act, or the Na tional Legislature removes him by impeachment, our Government deserves all the contumely that its enemies have thrown upon it. If such crea tures as Kendall are permitted to hold high and responsible stations, we are a disgraced and de graded people, unfit for social intercourse with nations professing tc be civilized.” Outrages upon the Arkansas Frontier. I —Wc copy the following from the Little Rock i Times, of the 23d ult.;—On Saturday last, Maj. E. Rector arrived at this place with five prisoners from the Cherokee nation; three Indians and two white men, who arc all safely lodged in jail.— Contrary to what has been generally supposed here, these men were not taken on the charge of being concerned in the murders of the Ridges and Boudinot, but for other crimes. An Indian named Terrill, and two white men, named Shram and Newman, were taken by a command under Lieut. Northrop, of the Dragoons, for unmerci fully beating and leaving for dead, a teamster named Ballard, because, as they said, he worked cheaper than they would. Jack Terrill, a brother of the one taken, and principal in the affair, made his escape—but it is believed will be taken. After they had whipped Ballard, taken his pistol and knife, and left aim for dead, Jack, in order to make sure of their victim, returned and stamp ed on his head. Ballard, however, recovered.— The same party also attacked and dangerously stabbed a son of Colonel Whinnery, of Wash ington county, and threw a Missouri hog-driver into a fire and shockingly burned him. Jack Nicholson was taken by a command under Lieut. Porter of the Infantry, for some time since whip ping and cutting off the ear of a man named Laxton. He is the nan whom John Richardson, ’ on the gallows, declared to be concerned in the | murder of the Wright family. George Waters j was indicted last summer, with others, for the murder of a white man in the nation. He has been considered a desperate character, and bade defiance to any man to take him; but Major Rector, with three chosen men, in the most daring manner, succeeded in capturing him. Leonard Randolph, also concerned in the same murder, is now in Texas, near ionesborough, of w hich fact Major Rector has apprised the commanding offi cer of Fort Towson, so that he will probably be taken. We regret to learn that Lieut. Northrop, who is said to be a brave officer, and deserving of , much praise, received a severe wound by the j accidental discharge of his own pistol, while at i tempting to take a nun named Drew. The ball lodged in his leg. near the knee, and H is feared that he will lose either his leg or life. j Major Rector assurer us that Gen. Arbuckle is , determined, at all hazards, to scour the country, ! and bring to justice all offenders on the frontier and in the nation ; and that his zeal and perse verance entitle him to much credit. From the New York Ladies Companion. Mount Vernon. The main portion cf Washington’s house was erected by his brother, Lawrence Washington, but the wings were added by himself. It°is G s wood cut in imitation of freestone; is two stories in height and ninety-six feet in length; having a portico running the whole extern on the side fronting the river. The roof is surmounted by a cupola. There are. on the ground floor, six rooms and a broad passage way. In one room, in the northeast corner, is a marble chimney piece, sent to Gen. Washington from Italy ; and, also, a fine organ, on which Mrs. Washington played with much skill. In another, at the southeast end, are busts of Necker, Paul Jones, and General Washington, and, also, a handsome library*, the bocks of which were chiefly collected by >V ashinzton himseif. Mount Vernon received its name from Admi ral \ ernon under whr m Lawr, nee Washington once served. It ta handsomely laid out in the vi enmy of the house. I„ f ront is a , contain . mg five or sti acres of ground, surrounded hv a serpentme walk, fr.nged with shrubbery. On hrs lawn, ,s a garden; that'on the right being devoted to flowers. I n j t . green house*—one built by General the other, by Judge Washing! n—a h>t h " and a pinery. It is prettily laid out. being inter sected with walks with box wood borders of D e culiar beauty. The hat and green houses which *te contiguous, are -jheUeicM from the uoilhcm winds bv a long range of wooden buildings lor the accommodation of servants. They contain every variety of the most beaut.ful and remarka ble t'rophical plants. There are groves of orange, lemon, and coffee-trees, all in lull bearing, and delighting the senses with their rich odor. Many bushels of lemons anff oranges are annually pro duced ; and the coffee-trees, also, yield an abun ’ dance of excellent fruit. Os the other p ants some of the most conspicuous are the night-» ow ing cerus, the guaon, aloes of a gigantic growl » the West Indian plantain, the sweet cassia, prickly pear, &c. The “pinery is appropriate to the cultivation of the pine-apple, r The house fronts northwest, the rear looking . to the river. About 200 yards from it, in a soulh j erly direction, stands a summer-house, on t e ! edge of the river bank, which is here lofty an | sloping, and clothed with wood to the water s edge. The summer house commands a fine i prospectof the river and the Maryland shore; al ■ so, of the “White House,*’ at a distance of five ’ I or six miles down the river, where an engage* j ment took place with the British vessels which | ascended the river during the last war. The estate, as owned by Judge V\ ashington, consisted of between three and four thousand ■ acres, since divided among his nephews. It has been, thus far, an object with the relatives of Gen. Washington, into whose possession the house and grounds have fallen, to preserve every thing, i as much as possible, in the state in which he left it. A Windfall, Perhaps.—A man named Anthony McConnell fell dead in Race street, Philadelphia, a few weeks since. He left an es tate valued at from $50,000 to $75,000 and it is not known that there are any heirs in this coun | try. There are seven applicants for the office of Administrator of the estate. The North Ameri can states that in case no heirs are discovered, the coroner will be entitled to one-third of the es tate, according to the law of escheats, he being the first person that informed the Governor of his decease. From the U. S. Gazette. I Washington Letter—Extra. | The following letter contains the latest intel | ligence which we have received from Washing i ton. It hears no date, and may have been de- ; | layed a day or two, by the recent derangement of i the mails. ! j THE NEW SPEAKER, OR A POLITICAL CATE CHISM. The Speaker’s initials are R. M. T. H. His name is Robert Mercer Talliaferro Hunter. In reply to some inquiry, a Whig member of Congress observed in the Hall, that the initials signified —Right Must Triumph Here. Our little carrier pigeon has brought us various other applications of mottos and admonitions, i and apprehensions and predictions, to these ini | tials, (R. M. T. H.) which by some strange over j sight, the Washington letter-writers have omit ted to communicate. We will subjoin some of | them: Regency Men Tremble Here. Mr. Adams observed. Rebuke Makes Tyrants Humble, i Mr. Bond, of Ohio, exclaimed, Bump Men Tarnish Honor. Rogues Must Take Heed. Some one in the gallery whispered. Rascals Must Tramp Hence. Bynum, in a high state of anger and passion, i said to Thomas, of Md., Droragoole, and Cave . Johnson, Ringleaders Must Take Heed. Lewis, of Ala., said, Ringleaders Managed The House.

'* After the House had adjourned, and before the } new Speaker had delivered his Address, Mr. Van ' derpoel. as he was walking rapidly along the Pennsylvania Avenue towards the While House, was overheard to say. Republican Martin’s Term Hopeless. Recreancy May Torture Him, Refractory Members Thwart Him. -Rotation Murders Tory Hope. The Speakei, in his address, having made . some allusion to the “Grand Inquest of the Na tion,” Mr. Profit, of Indiana, said to a Van Bu r ren member, * Regency Men Take Heed. j Rogues Must Testify Honestly. All being straightway reported at the White House, the tenant thereof, in a thoughtful but desponding manner, was heard to say, Regency May Take Hints. Recent Movement Teach Humanity.

We stated in our report of last Wednesday mor nino-, that the market for the ordinary and middling qualities of Cotton had a drooping tendency at the 1 time of closing our inquiries on the evening pre vious, and the business of the day went to conhrrn the remark, as the sales, which amounted to about 2500 bales, were ginevally at prices a shade lowei, for those sorts. On Thursday advices were receiv ed from Liverpool to the 27th Nov. two dajs later than we had before, but as no material change was reported as having taken place in C otton in that port, business in our market received no interrup tion, the sales on that day being fully 3000 bales, prices about the same as those previous.y cuiien . About 2 o’clock yesterday, the mail came in, bringing intelligence of the arrival of the packet ship England at New York, with advices from Liv erpool to the 7th Dec., by which we learn that pn* ces of American Cotton had sustained a decline of a since our previous accounts. W hat effec., if anv,this news will have on our market, remains to beseen. The sales before the arrival of the mail at the hour mentioned above, amounted to 2000 bales, at steady prices, but we could not learn of any operations afterwards. The stock on sale of the inferior and middling qualities is quite large, and thev are dull at our quotations, which are a fraction lower, but the finer g.ades are scarce, and in fair request at former rates.

We have heard of no sale on Plantation since the lot of 500 hhds noted in our last Havana Sugars are without change.

EVANS’ CELEBRATED SOOTHING SYRUP, for Children Cutting their Teeth.— This infallible remedy' has preserved hundreds of chil ; dren, when thought past recovery, from convul ; sions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the ! gums, the child will recover. The preparation is i so innocent, so efficacious and so pleasant, that no * child wrill refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it. ; When infants are at the age of four months, though j there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the | Syrup should be used on the gums, to open the i pores.
