The city Sexton reports the number of deaths in this city, during the month of July as follows: —viz; whites IS,.blacks 15, —total 30. I ires in Haltimore. A destructive fire broke out in Baltimore on the night of the 3J inst., in Stillhouse street, near East Baltimore street, by which a considerable amount of property was destroyed. The fire commenced in the soap and candle factory of Mr Peter Boyd, which was entirely consumed, together with a plough makers shop,iron foundry and blacksmiths shop of R H Chcnowilh, the dwelling and turners’ shop of Mr MeLanahan, the grocery store of .Mr. James Sloan, and three dwellings, each occupied by several families.— There was very little insurance on tho property destroyed. Another fire occurred at the same lime in a large frame building in Columbia street, occupied as a glue and sand paper factory, which, together with its contents, was entirely consumed. No insurance. Dmitli of Commodore Rodgers. Tho Philadelphia papers announce the death of Commodore John Rodgers, a distinguished commander in theU. States Navy. The InquU rer states that he expired on Wednesday even ing, about nine o’clock, at the Naval Asylum, near the Schuylkill, in the seventy-fourth year of his age, after a long and painful illness, which he bore with Christian patience and resignatior. While his friends and relations will long cherish tho memory of liis social and domestic virtues, liis public services will he engraven in indelible char actcrs upon the heads ofbis eounliymen. Loss of Ship Aiiiiiuvan. Capt. Brooks of the schr. Nonpariel, from Aux Caycs, at New York, states that the ship Anna wan, of Newport, Capt. Tooker, from Liverpool for New Orleans, was lost 27th June, on the Isle of Avachc. Crew and passengers landed safe. Sails, rigging, chains and most of the cargo were saved in a damaged slate, and sold as fast as lan ded. The skip a total loss. The Chemical Bank ol New York has declared a dividend of four percent, payable on the Blh inst. John A Jones, Esq. has been chosen Cash ier of this institution, vice Archibald Craig, Esq. deceased. At a Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of Maryland, held on the 3d. tho Right Rev. Jackson Kemper, at present Missionary Bishop, in the valley of the Mississippi, was elec ted to the olhce of Bishop of that Diocese. The New York Times says that another largo hanking establish men I is to be almost immediate' ly organized in that city under the general ban king law of the state, at the head of which is to bo placed John Delafield, Esq. The foundation of this institution, it is further stated, is based up on the wealth of that great capitalist, John Jacob Astor, Esq. The steamer Hollo of Missouri, on her way Irotn New Orleans to St Louis, struck a snag on the 2Glh tilt., nine miles below the mouth of the Ohio, and sunk. Her cargo was saved, but in a damaged stale—her furniture and engine will also be. saved, but the hull is a total 10.-s. The recent lire in Nc.v York is said to bo the largest ono since tbo one in December, 1835. The amount of properly destroyed is estimated at $350,000. Post Offices in Georgia.

The Western Georgian of July 31 on the authority of the Hamilton Gazelle, printed at Doss’ Landing, Tennessee, gives us the follow' ing information respecting the emigration of the Cherokee Indians. “The whole number of Indians in the nation on the 23d ol May, Ivas estimated at IC.OOO— out of this number about 2,000 were despatched by the Superintendent by water to their now homes in the west, during the month of June. They ate divided into three parlies; the lirst con sisting of 950, which started about the 15th of June, under the following officers: Lt. Davis, U. S. Artillery, conductor; Messrs. Leaves, Walker and Gox, assistants. Messrs, Cates and Foiger, physicians. The second parly of 800 started about the 10th ofjune under the Following offi cers, Lt. Whitcly. U. S.

The officers in charge of the party are Henry Bateman conduct or; Messrs Goody and Slantlifcr assistant.-; — Messrs. Hoyle and Willoughby, physicians. “We understand the first parly mentioned, reached the Western Nation in twenty days, without the loss of a life. The second parly is presumed to be near the borders of the Western Nation, and third parly, has perhaps by this lime reached the Mississippi river. “On account of the season, Gen Scott on the 13th June, suspended the emigration until the Ist September next, at which lime vigorous opera tions will be commenced, in the mean time noth ing- will be done except to subsist the Indians at lire different depots. “We aro informed by Dr Young, the agent in charge of lire business at that place, that the Indiana are in fine health and condition.” of Itf^olulions.

AUGUSTA: Prediction Fulfilled. From a speech of Mr. McDuffie, delivered on the 4th of April, 1834, on the removal of the pub lic deposilos, the prophetic spirit of which must excite wonder and admiration in the breast of ev ery reader : “sir, it has never been the intention of this Ad ministration to return to a specie currency. From the very first message of the present Chief Magistrate, onlil tbo present moment, there lias been a deliberate design on the part of those who have written his messages to establish a Govern ment bank in some form, to lie used as a machine of political power. I could establish this before any impartial jury in the country, by a chain ol evidence strong and conclusive; but I have not time to go into details. In the first messages be recommended a bank, ‘founded upon the credit of the Government and its revenues;’ and in a sub sequent message ho says ; ‘ln the spiritDf im provement and compromise which distinguishes our country and its institutions, it becomes us to inquire whether it be not possible to secure the advantages atforded by the present bank, so mod ified in Us principles and structure as to obviate constitutional and other objections. “In bis conversations with some of the commit tees from our commercial cities, he informed them that if his experiment should fail, as it had alrea dy, he would have a bank ‘founded upon the clic ks and balances of this Government;’a riddle which I cannot interpret; but, which, like the re sponses of tiro Delphic oracle, will doubtless be interpreted to suit any emergency. We have al so heard from a distinguished and confidential friend of Mr, Van Huron, the second officer of I the Government, that we must have a ‘political bank.’ Now, sir, put this and that together, take all those proofs, and connect them with the visi ble portents which we see all ab rut u . and no man can resist the conclusion that n political bank', wielded by lire Executive Department, and j converting the whole moneyed resources and ere, j ult cf tlie country into rn element of political power, is to Le the find consummation of i his ! great and desperate struggle for supreme power ft i- easy to road the future history of the coun- j liy.il the schemes of the reigning dynasty ure not defeated by the people.

Speaker, that the lessons of expe rience are lost upon na'ions. No People have hecn more severely schooled hy (his eacher than thePeoplo of the United Slaloa have heoti upon 'his subject. And 1 never relied upon our pres ent condition and prospects, without recurring to the late ol the Italian, who, possessiig a strong and rohust constitution, sacrificed 1. to the tam pering ol experimental quackery. His epitaph was brief, and contained an ins'ructive lesson* ‘1 was well; I would he better; lam acre.’—May it Tlcver hi* the paintul cilice of the historian to inscribe the sanie warning epitaph ol tho mighty ruins of our national prosperity. “I have a few words to say to the Southern gen tlemen who believe this Government has no con stitutional power to incorporate a bank.

Disguise it as we may, ‘to this complex ion il must come at lust.’ ” Poland. The celebrated O. P.

From the Sucketts llarhor UVicf Wo have read a letter written at French Greek, dated July 14lh, and published in (ho North American of the 19th ult. which discloses one of the most extraordinary transactions that has yet occurred upon the line of this frontier. The edi tor vouches fur the respectable character of his 1 correspondent, and also, says that the information contained in that letter has hecn confirmed thro’ other credible sources. A transaction so extra ordinary requires some explanation if K can bo 1 given. It appears that permission has been granted by | Marlin Van Boren, President of the U, States, to the British authorities, to come within the terri- I torial jurisdiction of the United Stales, and upon 1 i American ground, for the purpose of detecting I those whom they may suppose were engaged in | the destruction of the Bir Robert Peel. What 1 i might have been readily anticipated from such a 1 I permission has already taken place. I'hc British authorities, availing themselves of no ex'raordi- I nary a license, caminenced scouring the Blands | sad shores ot the St. Lawrence with a large bode of regular British soldiers. The quiet end peaceable citizens of th.s stale, ' resid ng upon the American islands of the St. 1 i Lawrence, have been injured and outraged bv an invading Uriiish soldiery—their houses broken pillaged and robbed ; and linally American citizens, quicily pursuing (heir own business upon American waters, arc seized and forcibly dragged from their occupations by llrittsh soldiers, and tlnoalencd with imprisonment in the fort and jail at Kingston. And these aggressions are permit led under license of the President! [Frunittu: A. 0. Vtcuywie, August 3.j Pirates in Atcluitaluyu Uay. We learn from the Franklin (Atfakapns) pa pers, that a gang of pirates have been arrested in Atchafalaya Hay. The particulars are given at full long 4 .!! both in the lianncr and the Republi can; but, ns it was la'c yesterday evening when I wo received those papers, we have merely room for an abstract. It may be remembered that a man named Sharpe was murdered some lime since, about fifty or sixty miles below ibis city. On the Hth nil., - three individuals, suspected ol being engaged in i Uni murder, were anosled n few miles below i Franklin, and gave in their names us Richard Wiight, Jonathon Wright and George Camplin. i \ On being questioned, Camplin confessed that Bbarpe’sgleulb was the result of a quarrel between | him and Richard Wright, lie staled that they • subsisted by oyster fishing on the Mississippi, but latterly bud removed to the Teelir. lie also sta ted that two of their parly, a man and Woman, were at their fishing gtound in Oyster Hay. These Mr. Marlin, the constable of Franklin, do 1 termined upon arresting, and having procured a boat and ctew, left that place on the lOlh. On I the lOh he succeeded in finding them, but in al most a starving condition, having had nothing hut shell lish to subsist Upon for four or live days. When leaving, he observed approaching, at some distance, a boat singularly built, which lie recognized as one ho had met and hailed ou his passage down, a day er two previous. It was evi dent that she had changed tier course and follow ed him. This, with other circumstances, created a suspicion that her object was plunder. Fortu nately, (be U. 8. Culler Woodbury was cruising at the time, some fifteen miles distant; this Mr. M. knew, and therefore hoarded the schooner Temperance, which he afterwards fell in with, procured a light boat and having reached lire Woodbury, Cnjit. Oiccnc at once manned and armed a boat, which went in pursuit. When the strangers were overhauled, they could show no papers, or give any satisfactory an swers, They were six in number—all desperate looking characters, and had six loaded rifles on dock—below were lound double barrelled guns, pistols, &c., with a plentiful supply of provisions. The vessel was skill built, and under the tonnage required by law—and there is no doubt that she was frttcd’out expressly to plunder the small coas ting vessels Capt. Greene, of tho Woodbury, had had information of pirates being on the coast, and was therefore on the alert. Tho Hanticr states that the crow of the boat were taken on board the culler to he conveyed to this city—hut the Republic.,n, of a later date, adds that they were released by the cutler, the commandant being "salislicd of the rectitude ol their intentions.” Tho other individuals mentioned above, ex cepting J. Wriglit, uie alt in prison at Franklin— and are to bo sent to this city. From the New York Herald. money Market. [ Thurtsduy, Auj»uhl *Z —(» ?, M. J TUc Falca ul the board lo day have been very oxiensive, but prices in some instances huv t ing gone up very rapidly, aru now receding, al - though on advance has been ellected on some t stocks. United States Hank rose 1 per cent ; i Delaware and Hudson £ per cent; Morris (/'anal i ? j per cent; Commercial Hank Manchester, wfcht up aj per cent; Kentucky i per cent; Vicksburg 1 i per cent; others have fallen oil from the rates of yesterday. Phoenix Hank receded 1 percent' Mohawk i per cent; Paterson 1 percent ; Har hcni If percent; Siuningtou f per cent. Some sales of Treasury Notes were made at a premium. This falling off in the prices may he attributed to (ho reaction consequent upon the rapid rise ol prices for a few days previous. The activity of Wall street docs not increase much as yet. Iho new hanks are slowly assu ming form and shape. Some of them are nearly ready for opening business ; of these the new branch of the United B.ales Hank of Pennsylva nia seems decidedly (he favorite with financial men, and a pood deal is expected from the known skill and business capacities of the gentlemen who are in charge of its management. i here is no change in the rates ol domestic cx* change lo he remarked to day. The season is however, rapidly approaching when merchants from a distance will commence their purchases, which will more or loss affect inland exchange,—’ We perceive that southern merchants have already appeared in Philadelphia bringing with them the hills of their stales, which are at a groat discount. A Philadelphia paper mentions that one house of that city had offered lo take these hills, dollar (or dollar, for their debts, tho exchange lo be settled at the rate it may be in four months, provided it is less at that time Ilian now. A Tennessee pa per remarks, the Planters’ Hank refuses lo issue Trcas. notes on Philadelphia for the present and i continues to check for her own paper at 10 per cent premium. Tho Union Hank issues post - notes. Bhc also notifies her customers that Ala hama money will continue to bo received after the first of August without the aid of a new discount. Thus, for example, il a man owes the bank $5,000 1 and instead of tho usual call of 10 or at) per cent, i can make it convenient lo pay (ho whole amount ' j in Alabama money, ho has the privilege of do- i ing so. The Globe remarks that the Secretary of the t Treasury has accepted the offer for the sale, at t par, of the bonds of the Pennsylvania Hank for 1 two millions, which falls due in Sept. 1839. The 1 sale of the bond, payable in 1840, has been de- < ferred for the present. A Four. Mu kite it Si'scr.cTi.n.—Considerable excitement has been occasioned in Haverhill and vicinity, by the disappearance of a young lady, 1 by the name of Adeline Wallace, w ho, two years since, was in ibo employ of Phineas Corliss, a ci gar manufacturer of that place, since which time, allhough diligent inquiry lias been made by her ; distressed relattoiis, no intelligence lias been board of her. Corliss, her employer, it is well known, was a most abandoned and wicked character, mid ,| it is now more than suspected, that to Ids other j crimes that of murder is lo he added ! On the disappearance of the girl from Haver- j hill, Corliss gave out word that she had gone to work in one of Iho factories at Lowell; hut subsc- v qiienl investigation has proved that such was not r the fact, and all the efforts of her friends lo obtain „ information respecting her have as yet proved unavailing. In the mean time Corliss has (led J the Btate, and was seen not long since in Mis souri, with an assumed name; in company with a , woman, whom he railed his wife. Numerous ro- ( ports are in circulation, many of which are either j, unfounded or greatly exaggerated; hut that foul play has taken place, and the giil disposed j of in some way or other, is quite certain. In c-nnection with this matter, it may be proper lo state, that two females foimerly of this place, and who worked for Corliss, shortly after the disappearance of Mis.i Wallace, have stated, that ~ “ rr “i n-r-T- i""i' ■ * " '■■■■ii*—- .a. as one day while in llui cellar of Corliss’s simp, Miry | discovered in an old chest, which among other ! things, contained a fcimite’s dress, on which were | spots ol blood.

And this Mr. Calhoun culls separating the political from the money pow er. Hy the name rule v.c suppose he would call it unitin'' the political and money power, if Cuti gtess were to take away from the Executive all control whatever over the collection, safekeeping and disbursement ofthc public moneys. When Mr. Calhoun voted for a dis ribttlion nf llie surplus itnontio among die seic al Hiates, as. ter having made a brilliant speech uffuinot that mode of disposing of il, )io excused the manifest inconsistency ol his conduct, by f.e pica that hq wished to get the immense accumulation fronl under the control ol die Executive—that he (ought to “separate the political from the money power ” \\ hen ho utlerwards insisted upon the payment of the withheld instalment, even if it had to be made in * shin-plasters,” he avowed his object to ha to depilvo tbe President of the smallest inllii. cnee which the “money power” could give him. This same Mr. Calhoun now lolls ns dial the best way to bring about "a final and complete separa, lion ol the political and money power,” is to have the icvcnues collected in gold and silver, placed in strong boxes with iron bars an 1 bolls, and de livered into (ho custody of individuals .appointed by the Executive, (who is in truth the political power) and removable at his will. We ate told, now that there is less danger of bribery, corrup tion and fraud, in die Executive and hiseicaturoi then there is in the Hanks and the People—that the Executive and his paniv.an officeholders may lie safely intrusted with the keeping of the whole revenues of (lie country, hut (hat our liberties will he certainly overthrown if we continue to pursue a system with regard to the custody of the pub lic moneys, which lily years’ experience bus taught us was economical, beneficial, harmless and safe.

Jackson had resolved on moving the public deposi es from the Hank nf the United Stales, he employed language of the following, character in Ins celebrated Cabinet paper of the ISlh Sept. 1833 : “In ridding the country of an irresponsible power which has attempted to control the Govern menl, care must be taken not to unite the same, power with (he Executive branch. To give to dm Executive the power over individuals now possessed by the Hank of (lie United Slates even with the material dilVercnco that he is icsponsi bio to the people, would be as objectionable and dangerous as to leave it as it is. Neither the mm nor the other is necessary, and therefore ought not to be resorted to.” —Alobile Mcr. Adv.

The 1 circular field of space which it occupies is in 1 diinneioi about three, thousand six hundred . millions ol miles, and that which it controls much greater. The sun, which is.lho near est neighbor to ns, is called Sirius, distant (tom onr sun about twenty two billions of miles. Now, d all the fixed stars are as dis tant (tom each other as Sirius is Iroin our sun, or il onr solar system ho the average maomic Hide ol all I lie systems of the seventy live mil lions ol suns, whoso imagination can grasp the immensity of creation?
