Rumor* had reached our ear* from lime to

Buffalo along the south aide of the latte lor our
frontier, hot we considered them only as some
of the myriad of foolish and absurd reports which
have been circulated in thin city during iho last

fact. Several hundred men have this day arriv

Gen. Hiady of the United Slate* army, now in

the purpose of enforcing our neulial relation*.
They aie ordered to rendezvous at the city hall,

wilh a view to destroy the steamboats nml plun
der the place. He added, that the authorities in
that qtiailer were wholly unable to disperse them.
Kingston is garrisoned by about 600 militiamen;
beside* an abundance of arms for all volunteers,
they have a strong fortress, ami cannot therefore,
possibly bo dislodged by any fotcethe pirates can

The pnncipal subject of discussion is the old
story of driving away the foreign slops—in con

to give no litilu (rouble to Hie Celestial officers.
On the 18lh ol September 7'n/cj-, the governor,

JAPAN.
We have been obligingly favored with the
following short account of the American ship
Morrison's trip to Japan, which it is much to
he regretted, met not with the success the enlcr
prizc deserved.
••The ship Morrison, whose return from a trip
to the northward, was noticed in the last Can
ton press, was absent 56 days, 48 of which were
passed at sea, three days in the harder of Napa
kiang, two days in lha harbor of Yeddo, and
three days in the harbor of Kayoainia, on the
south ol Kinsin, the western oflbo thice great
Japanese islands.
At 1,00 chou, sho met with the usual mild
reception. In the two Japanese harbors, she was
fired on under circumstances which amounted
to sheer cowardice and treachery.
The ship wrecked Japanese, which it was the
chief object of the voyage to convey to their
naiivo land, were brought buck to Macao at their
own urgent cnliealy. The few nautical obser
va ions it was in the power of Capl Ingeisoll to
make, will be published here shortly, ami some
extracts fiom the journals of the voyage also; Mr.
King s Holes will he Im warded to the United
.■sinles f.,r publication thine, by an early oppor

The opium merchants of Calcutta were about
applying to the government lor rebel from their
mutinous purchases, on which they were likely
to bo very heavy looser*, in consequence ol the
falling oil'of tho trade with China. The amount
of abatement hoped for was about 52 luks of ru
pees, on about I 1,000 chests.
Advices from the Sandwich Islands were to

article from the Sandwich Island U.ir.cite, coin

that without considerable enlargement of sub

William T. Pouter, Editor.
The eigth volume of ihis publication, (being
the third of the new series) commenced on the
17tli of February, 1838. To muiniu n the char
actor of the work as an interesting add aullren
tic Sporting Journal, and, if possible, to elevate
it. and give to its contents additional value, is the
sole design of the Editor. No material change
is contemplated, save in the mechanical part of
the paper, and in this particular the editor believes
that the Spirit of lire Times will bear a compari
son with the most elegant periodicals in the
country.
The present, like the preceding volume, will
contain a complete American Racing Calendar,
for the current year. That this Calender may
he full and accurate) alt the more important
Race Meetings throughout the Union will be
attended by the editor in person, oi by Rcpor
-1 tera employed for the express purpose; and every
exertion will be made by a very large and ex
| pensive correspondence to obtain,- as heretofore,
early reports of all other meetings. This volume
will also contain Alphabetical Lists ofAmciican
Winning Horses, at all distances, arranged in
Tables—a pctfecl list of Stallions, lor 1838—Ta
ble of winning Trolling Horses—and a complete
list of English winning Horses, at till distances,
during the year 1837, In the lists of winning
Horses the reader is presented at ona view with
the ago, color, sire, dam, and owner of each
horse, with the weight carried, the lime, the horse
beaten, tho dale of the race, and the course, with
the folio *f the page specified in which in the
paper the detailed report of the race may be
found,
The first volume nf ths number contains tho
table offottr mile wlhners in 1837, uniform wilh
which, tho Other tables of winners at three, two,
and one mile heats will appear. In the list of
1 Stations is given the name, color, pedigree, ow
ner nr agents address, and terms, of all the dis
' linguished Stallions in the Union, the whole
1 coni|irising a mass of intelligence to bo found in
i no other publication in this country, and which

Turfman.—Tho Sporting Department of the
paper will embrace the following subjects, res
pecting which every possible information will ho
given ;
The American and English Turf; Importations
and Bales ol Blood Block at home and abroad;
Essays on Breeding and Training: Racing and
Trotting Challenges; Racing Appointments;
1 Sweepstakes and Matches; Annual lists of Amo
■ rican and English winning Horses; On Dils in
Sporting Circles; Pedigrees and Performances of
Distinguished Horses; Hunting, Shooting, and
Fishing; Pedestrian Aquatic, and other Spurts.
To relieve the paper from the monotony which
might he objected to, if Sporting Intelligence
t lonned the exclusive object of attention, a large
space will be devoted each week to the affairs of
the Diama, and to the light and elegant Litera
ture. The interestsot the American and English
Stage are so closely and inseparably connected
that we shall, as heretofore, take cognizance of
’ both. The Spirit of the Times finds its way in
i to every Green Room in the Union, and has so
> many correspondents among the profession, as
to have acquired a character for authentic, exclu
sive, and early Gieen Room Intelligence, not
1 exceeded by any j mrnal whatever.
In the Literary department, tho editor will
aim only at culling from the Eng'ish and Amer
ican Magazine*, the choicest flowers of wit and
i sentiment, and wilh the appliances at his com
mand, he doubts not to make this po-lion of his
i columns gay, graceful, and spirited. And to give
zest to the whole, the editor will aim to crowd
into his columns alt the fun and frolic of the
town, the good things of his friends, and the best
jokes of his brother editors. In fine, he hopes to
make his paper tho gayest and liveliest in the
w, rid; yielding to none in the character of its

\ The Government Bank, and the Con
; spin act rou it. —The compiler of the histo
ry ol this our era. will bo forcibly struck by a
i few facts in it. 11 ns eye will light upou a pe
riod when the energies of fifteen million of
i human beings were palsied by a series of con
spiracies originated chiefly by one man, whose
I aim was to grasp the Treasury, and to make
/a complete union of that «nd the Executive
' power, so that by the use of the one, he might
secure the permanency of the other. Martin
Tan B i ren, for example, will linve been found ■
first by the creation of a great Bank power
connected with politics, to have secured and
corrupted for himself the chiefSiale of a great
Republic,—and after he had mounted the Ex
ecutive throne on that hobby, to have kicked
that from under his feet, and upon its tuins
and the ruins of the commerce of the country
with them, to have sought the creation of a
Government Sub-Treasury Bank, all whose
officers were to be bis own, —appointed at his
will and t-moveable at Ins pleasure In the
process of that conspiracy will be marked as
curiositiespolilicdl, the ways and means of
operation. A National Bank created by Con
gress for example, will have been prostrated,
in the cry, that the State Banks were belter
than it, —and the Stale Banks will have been
prostrated in the cry, that no Banks were ne
cessary,—hard money—gold and silver—Rag
Barons, — Aristocracy! To luVn the current
, then, as the People revolt, the era of paper
money will come again* Treasury notes, Tre«-
sury drafts, Treasury checks, and over it will
be marked, that as lli'esfe came in fashion, the
tcnnspira'.ors swallow their own words, And
deny they ever were after a currency of gold
and siver.
Mr. Van Bure tv, whom we consider the in
stigator and author of all these schemes, be
yond i doilbt has carefully studied the pages
. of Machiavel. Unlingbrnktb ctirtde'nsing in a
few words the purport of the famous work of
Machiavel, says “Ho proposes to Princess the
amplification of their power, the extent of their
dominion.niid ihe subjection of ’.heir people ns
the sole objects of their policy. He devises
and recommends 8/1 mentis that lead lo these
purposes, without the consideration of any du
ly owing to God orman, or any regard to the
morality or immorality of actions. Vet he
even declares the affectation ol virtue to be
'useful to Princess.”
The subjection of tbo people ia what Sir.
Van Bnren is after, —and reckless of the
means of obtaining it, —he mocks at the pre
sent calumny of millions, —but all the while
ho affects to be useful to these millions, and
puts in the show ot virtue, while be is ampli
fying all the engines of corruption.
New York Feb. 25.
Though mercantile affairs have not actually
taken a decided aland for the belter, they acem
about to do so The number of strangers gra
dually increases in the city, ami the auction
marls are belter attended generally than for some
time back. Purchasers seem to take hold more
freely, and with better confidence, and the com
ing week may be expected lo exhibit more anitna*
lion than the last few weeks have done. The
length of lime elapsed sllltc we have had advices
from Europe has created a suspense in the minds
of large dealers which must be lemovcd before
any heavy transactions ran lake place. The
severity of Ihe weather for the last week, or ten
days, unusual at this season, is not vrithont its
effect in retarding comercial operations. —Herald
DlittUr.sßtxo Accounts fro,*, Canada. — A
trader who arrived in town yesterday diiect from
■ Canada informs that 800 of her Majesty’s troops,
which had been ordered from Halifax, to Cat a
d«i encountered very severe fate oh their route.
They were seven days without a house for shel
ter, trtfvfelling on snow shoes. Forty-one of the
number died from the exposure and many others
were much frozej.— Portsmouth Jour.
Exchanges. — ln relation lo the difficulty of
making remittances to the North, the Louisville
Evening Herald makes the following remarks.
There is at present great embarrassment among
our business men, for want of Eastern Exchanc
gcs. Not one of our Banks are drawing, nor can
Eastern funds be procured elsewhere; many have
been compelled lo remit Kentucky and other pa
per at a great loss, to Philadelpha and New-York
to meet their payments in thosa places.
From tie A T . O. Dee,
Oseola —Tlio death of this celebrated
duet has now rendered his life and actions
matter for future history. Every description
of his person or anecdote of his exploits will
be perused with the interest which naturally
attaches to a character like his. It seems
that in tine barbarian were mingled many of
tho elements of civilized, with teveral of the
prominent features of savage life. That he
fully possessed the bravery common to his
race is admitted by all, but his courage was
tempered with cauth it, and unpolluted with
the inexorable ferocity that forms so distinc
tive a characteristic in the Aborignes of
America. His career though brief, develo
ped a maturity of intellect rarely encounter
ed in the Indian, and he will be hereafter
remembered in common with the Tec uni.sell
and other savage warriors who have played
conspicuous parts in the history of our coun
try.
We have lately perused with considerable
gratification a sketch of the person and character
' ‘ooC! her with a recital of some of the most daring
f Ob'ola, in a work descriptive of a
deeds o. -'- r jJ a by M M Cohen, an officer

pioduction is written with much ele b , ,
felicity of style, and contains important ano in * I
terreating information on the subject of the Flor
idian tribes, whose cunning and superior saga
city have so long baffled the efforts of the gov
ernment to compass their entire subjugation. The
observations of Oceola are particular eloquent
and pleasing, and the work itself embodies no
ordinary attraction.
