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. Maine. Returns from 304 towns, give a Whig gain ol 830.

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. From the Boston Conner. 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. From the New Orleans Picayune. Recorder’s Court. SF.COKD MUNICIPALITY. 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 University Magazine From the Boston Weekly Magazine. 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.
