CHRONICLE AiND SENTINEL.
A IGI'S T A.
FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 13
New York.
An extra from the Express office, dated Sun
day, 12 m. says:—The Whig majority in this
State will be over 11,000, taking the reports as
they have come in, and as we set them down, —
but it is not safe to calculate upon a majority of
more than 10,000, inasmuch as many returns are
but reported. Chatauque, for example, depends
altogether upon repoit, and almost seems improb
able. The returns are all more or less to be cor
rected.
There is no doubt, however, that the Whigs
of the slate have held their own since 1838 a
gainst all the combined power of the Federal
Government directed against them.
In the 53 counties heard from Harrison’s ma
jority is 11108.
The following counties are to be heard fl-om,
which in 1838. stood as follows;
Seward. Marcy.
Alleghany, 3281 2640
Cattaraugus,.. .218 l 2132
Steuben, 3379 • • 3675
8741 8447
Gov. Seward is re-elected by a large majority
though he fails considerably below' the Electoral
ticket.
The Senate will stand 21 Whigs to II Loco
Focos.
The Whig majority in the Assembly will be
from 2 to 8.
Ohio.
In every County yet. heard from there is a
Harrison gain on the vole for Corwin. The ma*
jority in the Slate will, it is believed, go even be
yend 25,000, and will be the largest for Harrison
given in any of the States.

son’s majority is 641
The same paper adds —The above returns are all
official. It will be seen that Warren, Potter,
SO
and M’Kcan are to hear from. These counties are
estimated by the Van Burcn men as follows :
Warren 200; Potter 200 ; M’Kean 150 majority
for Van Buren. Thus it will be seen that on their
own showing, the State is safe for Harrison ./
Warren county is leported this morning at IS3
majority. Potter a„d M’Eean at 350.
The U. S. Gazette Extra, of Monday last, States
the Harrison majority at 253. \
New Jersey. 1
Official returns from all the counties iri this
State but two are given in the Newark Daily Ad
vertiser of Friday. Including the unofficial re

county has increased its Whig majority from
1147 to 1541—2 precincts to be heard from.

The Nations. Intelligencer of Monday saj i;—
Since our last we have received returns fre a 14
additional counties, giving for Harrison ii the
counties i.-eard from 25,689 votes, for Van 1 iren
24,830 votes, and making tne majority for Har ison
in these counties, 859 votes. There are tw< ity
five counties still to hear from.
, The Richmond Enquher of Saturday posit /ely
claims the vote of the State for Van Buren, bi t al
though f-e Whig vote has certainly fallen sin it of
what was anticipated, we do not give up the late
yet. We have still a strong hope that Vir inia
• will yet prove herself true to her Repub can
principles, and to her ancient hatred of tyrann, • in
all its forms.
1 he Richmond Whig of Monday morning has
returns from 106 counties, showing a Har: son
majority of 282. There are sixteen coui jies
yet to bear Irom, which in 1836 gave 2184 for
Van Boren.
The Hunker Hill Monument.
We have the pleasure ol announcing, says the
Boston Courier, that contracts for completing the
Monument of Bunker Hill, were yesterday si ned
by the Jontiactor. Mr. James S. Savage, on the one
part, and by the President of the Monument / so
ciation on the other. It has specified that the
monument t all be completed agreeably to the
original design, oy the first of October, 1841 for
the sum of p 43,500, Mr. Savage will comm n-e
opentions at the quarry, immediately, and vill
begin to lay the stone as early as possible irjjihe

Martin Vax Buren axd his Native St rv..
In 1846, the Slate of New York, anxiou; to
do honor to one of her citizens, gave Man in
Van Buren her Electoral vote by a majorit of
TWENTT—EIGHT THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED NO
skventt -two! Alter a period of four yean lu
ring which he has been at the head of the nat an,
the people of his native stale have again been mi
led upon to give him their confidence and jp

unworthy of his station, and an enemy tc the
welfare of the Republic, by a majority of s: ,he

From the Cincinnati Gazette Oct. 31.
General Harrison,
Arrived in the city this morning from North
Bend in excellent health. A little accident oc- j
cured to him yesterday, which shews that he is ‘
not quite so decrepit , as his enemies represent;
him. He was riding over a part of his farm. 1
through which the tunnel of the Whitewater j
Canal passes, in a place which seemed as smooth !
and as well covered with gras? us any other
oart of the field; suddenly he felt his horse sink
ing. and thought he was about to fall; the Gen- j
eral sprang from him and alighted upon the firm !
ground, and the horse fell from 15 to 20 feet in- j
to a kind of sink hole, caused by the tunnelling
beneath. The General escaped without the
slightest injury.

Rates of Postage in England. A gentle
man of this city, now in London, has sent to a
friend the following rep’y to certain inquiries re- 1
specling Postage. It may be scrvicable to our
mercantile and literary community, and is here
added:—
For all internal correspondence, from one end
of the Kingdom to the other, the charge of a sin
gle letter, weighing under half an ounce, is one ’
penny. For all ship letters received from Aroer- 1
ica the charge Bd. single. Is. 4d. double, &c. For
newspapers 2d. each, and for pamphlets letter pos- '
tage, according to weight. A letter addressed to 1
France, need not be sent to a friend in London, as
by an arrangement between the two governments. 1
a ship letter would be forwarded bv the General
Post-office here to France, without the payment
of any postage in Lon lon ; but a letter would not
be forwarded to any othe- foreign country, Ameri
ca for example, until the postage to London and
hence was paid. The postage of a single letter
by the Halifax steamers is Is. and of a newspaper
2d. The mails for India leave on the 4th of every
month, and the postage is 3s 8 l-2d. for a single
letter weighing half an ounce, and 7s. sd. for an
ounce weight. The only way to send pamphlets
to this country is by private hand, (and they are
subject to a duty of ss. 2d. per lb.) provided they
appear as part of a passenger’s luggage, and are
not enveloped or addressed; otherwise they are
liable to seizure by custom-house officers, and
subject to the post-office regulations also.
The Laborer and the Emploter.—How
often said Mr. Prentiss, during his recent speech
at Portland, do we see in this country, that the
employer of to-day is the laborer of to-morrow,
and the laborer the employer ; and when such is
the evidence of our senses and the result of our
institutions, how dare any man rise up and ad
dress himself to the passions of different classes
ot the community and declare there is a distinc
tion between them. I would take the sons of the
poor man in preference lo the sons of the rich
to prove the truth of this. The son of the poor
man much sooner reaches the golden goal of hon
or, than those who have money jingling in their
pockets. It is the poor man in nine cases out of
ten who reaches the point of eminence. They
have been industrious —they have exerted them
selves, and they have prospered. It is true that
a had man sometimes gets wealth, but not often,
and when he does, it is oftener by foul means than
by fair. How was it wilh Stephen Girard, and
how is it with John Jacob Aslorl They were
the architects of their own enterprise.
The acquisition of wealth is the result of ex
ertion. The son of the poor man prospers most.
I would bet two to one on his success in the trial
of a few years.
From the Farmer's Register.
An effectual mode of frightening Crows
from Corn-Fields.
During my residence i n the western part of
Louisiana, which is much infested by black birds
and crows, I frequently observed a white cotton
thread suspended from the top of one cane (or
large reeu) to the top of others throughout the
length of their corn-fields. I inquired the use of
it, and was answered that it scared the crows or
black buds, I do not recollect which, but am of
opinion it scared bolh. Bince my return to Vir
ginia, I have settled on a small farm in Chester
field county. Three sides of my field are enclosed
by pine woods, the most choice abode of crows.
Immediately after planting my corn, I tried the
experiment. I procured small pine poles, 15 or
16 feet in length ; set thirn in my corn-field, 50 |
or 6b yards apart, lengthwise the field, as it was
long and narrow ; then stretched the cotton twine
from the lop of one pole to the top of another,
throng a :t the field; and found that my corn was
protected from 40 to 50 yards on each side of the
twine so suspended. The next season my field
being in form an obtuse angled triangle, and
would require a number of threads stretched par
allel through the field on account of its form, and
byway of saving iaborand thread, as well as for
experiment, I stretched the thread around the field,
or set the poles on the outer edge of the corn
field, say about 10 or 15 yards from the fence,
which protected the corn entirely from crows.
The present year I enclosed or stretched tbo
thread around thirty acres of corn, say with two
pounds of cotton twine, at 31 £ cents per pound,
and am well satisfied that I did not lose one hill
of corn by crows.
It is my positive belief that if a field of any
magnitude was enclosed by the thread (unless a
crow on entering the field should fly so high as
not to observe the thread.) there never would be
one in it as long as the thread was suspended. I
get small saplings, as small as I can, (so that they
may give, w.ty to the winds,) about 15 to 16 feel
long. First d*op them around the field at 50 or
60 yards distance; then I make holes with a
“ slab,” (or pointed stake, so as to set the poles
firm in tbe ground. Then I wrap the thread
around the end of the first pole and set it up firm;
‘ go on to the next with my ball of twine, wrap it
around that, and so on throughout; observing to
stretch the thread as tight as possible, in the first
instance, as it will swag very much after a rain
or heavy dews. I give these directions because I
believe from experience, that it is necessary that
the thread should swag a little, so as to be kept
lin motion by every slight breeze. I hope that
many will try it. JAMES L\NCH.

The School Master Abroad. —Alexander
Persse, a man who looked like a long used, bad-
I ly bound edition of Essays on Intemperance, was
found “on the shelf, or rather on the banquette, in
Pbithppa street, on Wednesday night. He was
I “very well I thank you.” Persse teacnes the
j young idea how to shoot; but finding that he
could not Keep pace, we suppose with tbe inarch
of intellect, he lay himself down on the ban
quette, either to store his mind with new inspir
ation or to arrange the ideas with wnich his mind
was already stored, and prepare for another start
: off in the intellectual race.
“W r ho is here?” said the watchman when he
came up to Persse, stirring him up with his long
I pole—“VVho is here 1”
“I am. thou art he, she or it is,” said Persse,
j launching at once into the sea of his vocation,
and taking the tone of bis language from the
*• shop.”
‘ You is high,” said the Watchman.
“I deny, sir, that I am high,” said Persse—
“All our authors, sir, who have written on the
language, agree in saying that high is an adjec
tive, because, sir, it expresses a condition or
quality ; now sir, < am Alexander Persse, anoun
proper, sir, of the first person, masculine gender
singular number—see here old fellow let us
drink—and I am—l am sir, nomitive case to tue
verb drink. Now, sir, confess your error, when
you say I am high—l am a mere adjective.”
“Come along to the Watch house,” said Char
ley.”
“No air,” said Persse, “I shall decline it, and in
a manner strictly in accordance with the princi
ples of etymology ; thus sir, come, came, come.
Now, sir, the conjugation is equally simple, thus
—I come, thou co rest, he, she, or it comelh or
comes.”
“This here is all nonesense.” aaid Charley,
who was getting out of patience with the learn
ed gramanan.
“Yes, sir,” said Persse, “you are perfectly
right; nonesense is a compound word, combin
ing both a negative and an affirmative—this, sir,
is ono of the idioms peculiar to our language.”
“I won’t hear any more of it,” said Charley;
and making a lever of his right arm he raised
Pers-e. and put him on his legs in a perpendicu
lar position.
“That—that,” said Persse, “has been done
without violating the slightest degree on (be re
cognized rules of grammar; per example—l rise,
thou risesl—”
Charley without saying another word, placed
bis arm round that of Presse’s as a retainer, and
walKed him off to the watch house.
“Your actions, sir,” said Persse to Charley,
are those of a scholar, and if 1 mistake not, agree
able to the second rule in Syntax, which says that
two or more nouns of the singular number join
ed together by one or more copulative conjunc
tions—your arm and mine as in the present case,
for instance—must have verba, nouns and pro
nouns agreeing w ith them in tbe p oral number
— so that instead of I go, or you go, it is we go.
You understand, don’t you 1 I know you do.”
“Yes, 1 understand your’e a blamed foul,” saul
Charley; and in a minute or two more Persse’s
name was on the books of the watch bouse.
“Persse,” said the Recorder to him yesterday
morning, “you were found lying on the ban
quette.”
“Yes, may it please the court,” said Persse, “I
was illustrating the neuter verb to lie. ’
“W’hat business do you follow, Mr. Persse;! ”
said the Recorder.
‘ I am a professor, sir, of the polite languages.”
said Perse.
“Your language was any thing but polite in
the watch house last night,” said the Recorder.
“I may have been, thou mayest have been, he
she or it, at some period of their lives, may have
been in a subjunctive mood, or represented un
der a certa>n condition,” said Persse.
“I shall let you go this time,” said the Recor
der.
“ Verbam sat sapienti, or as the V ulgar trans
lation has it, N. S.” said Persse, and be left the
office.
The following is from a Dublin Journal:
“Have you anything else whereof your con
science should be purged I” asked Father Phelan
of a kneeling culprit at the confessional. “Yes,”
replied the penitent—“l have committed the
mean sin of theft. I have stolen this watch.
Will your reverence accept it of mel” “Me !”
exclaimed the pious priest, “I receive the fruit of
your villany! No; instantly return the watch to
its owner!” “I have already offered it to him;”
replied the culprit, “and be has refused to receive
it; therefore holy father, I beseech you to take
it.” “Peace, wretch!” rejoined the priest, “you
should have repeated the offer.” “I did repeat it,
your reverence, but he would’nt touch it” “Then”
said the priest, “I must absolve you from the sin
you have committed.” The purified thief had
scarcely departed, when the astonished father dis
covered that it was his own watch that had been
stolen from tbe place where it had been deposited
near the confessionary !
The Felon’s Daughter. —George Robert
Fitzgerald, the Irish Patriot, left a wife and
daughter. His wife adhered faithfully and de
votedly to him to tbe last, and was untiring in
her exertions during his trial, supplying infor
mation to ihe lawyers, and seeking out for evi
dence. His daughter was an interesting, gentle,
but not handsome young lady, of very retired
manners, and as we imagine, of a decidedly mel
• ancholy habit; and yet when we saw her she
| was not aware of her father’s shameful fate.—
fehe mostly resided at Castletown, the seat of
her uncle, and from the most excellent of wo
men, Lady Louisa Conolly, she received all the
fond atten’ions that her peculiar position requir
ed. But it so happened that being alone in tbe
j Library, and looking over the upper shelves, she
bit upon the trial of her father; she read it, ftfid
never after lifted up her head—but funk into an
early grave—and it was best. Neither fortune
nor high connexion, nor ail the delicate attentions
and fond solicitude of friends, could lift her out
of her abasement—the felon’s daughter.— Dublin

A Remarkable Fact.
[We are assured that the following fact, sin
gular and improvable as it may appear, did posi
tively occur ; and as it has afforded much scope
for conjecture and theory, we have been induced
to insert it. It may induce some of our readers
to rack their brains, and if possible, t« discover
some plausible method of accounting for this
wonderful occurrence.]
In the sprii.g of the year 1803, a no'.ice appear
ed in several of the London papers, to the effect
that the t dveitiser had found a large sum of mo
ney in bank notes, and that the owner might re
cover t.iem, by establishing his claim In the sat
isfaction of a certain Mr. Johnson or Mr. Smith,
a solicitor, whose abode was designated. The
advertisement continued to appear for several
days in succession ; it was then withdrawn, but
in the course of a few days re-appeared, with a
slight change in its teims.just sufficiently to in
dicate, that the purpose for which it had original
ly been made public was not yet accomplished.
The second edition in like manner continued
to excite the speculation, the wishes and the en
vy of numerous readers, and was in its lurn fol
lowed by a third, a fourth, and a fifth, the latter
of which bore date about two months after the
first. In the mean time, the circumstance had
been quoted and commented up.m by every news
paper in the kingdom; the sporting weeklies
were made the proclaimed of several bets touch
ing the sum, the name of the finder, and the
probabilities of an owner appearing to claim the
lost mammon ; and even the magazines had some
thing la say of the ve.v remarkable fact, that
any amount of bank notes should go begging so
long for a proprietor. It will be unde> stood,
therefore, that greater publii ity could net be giv
en 1 1 any event, than was bestowed upon this
bundle of treasure, and the wish of the present
possessor, that it should fall once more into the
bands of its legitimate master.
The fifth edition had appeared for some, days
and the solicitor, to whose management the affair
was entrusted, was on the point ot advising his*
client, that nothing mure was to be done,except
to enjoy his good fortune ; when a claimant ap
peared, as it were, at the eleventh hour. He an
nounced himself as one of the partners of an ex
tensive banking establishment in YorKshire; and
requested an interview with the advertiser. This
was of course, granted at once; and the two
gentlemen, with their respective solicitors, met at
the hour and place appointed.
The preliminaries were soon adjusted ; that is,
taking the fact into consideration, that two law
yers had gotten their fingers in the pie; the next
step was for the claimant to make known the
ground of his l>elief, that the money belonged to
his house. In the first place he gave the amount;
and it was admitted he was correct in his descrip
tion so far; the notes were of the value of eight
thousand pounds. But beyond this, his tale was
abundant in difficulties. The notes were of va
rious banks and denominations, and had been
paid to his house on the third day of May, as he
knew not only from the books of the concern,
but from a private memorandum made at the
time by one of the partners ; for some particular
reason, which he either did not explain or the
writer has forgotten, they had not l>een thrown
immediately into circulation, as was the general
custom of the house; but had been deposited
with some other papers of value, in an iron chest,
of which only the partners had keys, and this
chest was locked up in a vault, to which none of
the clerks had access. The loss of the money
had not been discovered until ihe day previous
to U.at on which he had started for London, and
he was utterly unable to conjecture how, or by
whom, it hail been taken away.
This was all the account the banker could give
of the matter; neither the iron chest nor tbe vault
gave the least evidence of having been forced ;
the keys had never been out of the possession of
some one of the pa.tners: and nothing else ap
peared to have been taken. The notes had been
received from various persons, snd he had not yet
been able to ascertain any particular by which
they could be identified, farther ihan that the re
ceiving clerk of the banking house remembered
one of them to have been a bill of the Bank of
England for five hundred pounds, and to have
had upon it a large spot of red ink. The other
Mariners were now engaged in making inquiries,
by which they hoj>od to be able, in the course of a
few days, to identify at h ast some of the others.
At this stage of the proceeding, it was suggest
ed by Mr Johnson—if that was his name—the
solicitor, that one of the officers of the Bank of
England, in which the money had been deposited
by the finder, for safe keeping, should be request
ed to attend: and in the course of three quarters
of an hour, he made his appearance. In reply to
a question from the solicitor, the banker again
stated that the bills were received by his house on
the third of May, at about II o’clock in the
morning ; his description of the five hundred
pound note was admitted to be correct, but the
gentleman from the bank produced a minute from
his book of entries, by which it appeared that it
was on the third dav of May, at three o’clock in
the afternoon, that the notes were placed in his
hands; and it was proved that the first notice of
the finding bad been published on the morning
of the fourth ; if the notes were those alluded to
by the Yorkshire gentleman, they must have been
taken from his bank and conveyed to London, a
distance of more than two hundred miles, in less
than four hours, a performance of which all ad
mitted the utter impossibility.
At a subsequent day another partner arrived in
town, having succeeded in ascertaining the sums
and descriptions of several of the lost notes ; his
memorandum was compared with the bills de
posited in the bank, and found to agree; but his
testimony, as to the time of the receipt of the
money, corresponded precisely with that of the
first corner. He declared that it was very strange,
but there was no contending against tbe fact that
the notes were in the custody of the Bank of
England within four hours from the lime at which
if the same, they were undoubtedly in Yorkshire.
The finder alleged that he had picked them up in
St. James’ Park, that they were done up in a pa
per, and tied with a piece of red tape; and that
he had immediately on discovering the contents
of the parcel to he so valuah.e, taken a cab and
proceeded at once to (he bank.
These were the statements and facts relied on
by the parties in relation to their claims upon the
deposito. The matter continued to be a subject
of wonder, investigation, and controversy forsome
months; but nothing appeared to clear up the mys
stery. The proof adduced by the bankers of the
identify of the no.es. and the time and manner
of their coming into the bank, was abundant and
irresistible; and equally so was the evidence as
to the time of their appearance in London. The
dispute was at length compromised; the finder
consented to give up his claim, upon condition
that the bankers should pay certain sums to cer
tain specified charities; hut the puzzle remains
to this day as perplexing and perfect as ever.

Beauty Sleeping.
BY LIEUT. O. W. PATTEN. U. S. ARMY.
She slept! Along her arm of snow,
, Her cheek of rose serenely laid,
While wavy curs heav’d to and fro.
At every sigh her breathing' made ;
The very breeze which pass’d along, i
1 Went o’er her couch with gentle air,
As Icth to wake with pinion strong,
; The thing oj joy that slumber’d there.
She slept ! The thin transparent lid
Curv’d calmly o’er her eye of blue ;
1 But tbo’ the earthly orb was hid,
' The spirit light still struggled thro*.
, While o’er her lip, unconscious wrought
A quiv’ring pulse which went nd came,
, As if some dream renew’d the thought
The waking hour had ceas’d to name.
■ She slept! And as th» wandering rays
Os moonlight kiss’d her forehead pale,—
i Bright truants I nothing loth to gaze
On charms which night forgets to veil! —
V He marveled not why shapes of air,—
Blest works which once in Heaven had shone.
Enraptur’d with a form so fair,
For Woman’s home had left their own.
