got more than a rod, before crash went the
bridge behind us all down in a heap, and two
toll houses on top of it and as many os a hun
dred folks splashed into the water, all mixed
up together. The President lopked over his
shoulder, and seeing I was safe behind him,
called out for Mr. Van Buren, and asked me
to Tun and see if he was hurt. I told him he
had forgot himself, 5 for Mr. Van Buren wasn’t
in the company ; but Mr. Woodbury and Mr.
Cass were in for it, for I could see them
flourfdering about in the water now. Run,
Major, said the President, run and give them
a lift. Take Mr. Woodbury first, you
know I cant spare him.
So there was a parcel of us took hold and
went to hauling of them out of the water like
so many drowned rats. But we got them all
out alive, except a few young things they
called dandies; they looked so after they got
wet all over that wc couldn’t make out wheth
er they were alive or dead. So we laid them
up to dry and left them; and I went on to
help the President review the troops on the
battery, as they call it, and a grand place it is
too. I’ve seen more fine shows here, it seems
to me, than ever 1 see before in my life.
Such a sight of folks, and fine ladies, and
fine houses, and vessels, and flags a flying,
and cannons firing, and fire works whisking
about, I never sec the' beat of it. I didn’t
think there was as much fun in this world be
fore, for all I’ve been about so much at Mad
dawaslca and among tli* nullifiers and all
round.
But I cant tell you much about it till
get there, for I Cant find any. time to write.
I’ve only catchcd a few minutes this evening,
wliile the President has gone into Mr. Niblo’s
garden. One of the master sights that I’ve
yet seen tvas that balloon that went up this
afternoon, carrying a man with it. Poor fel
low, I dont much think he’ll ever get back
again, for he looked to me the last I sec of
him as though he would land in England, or
the, moon, or some other country.
All these sights keep us back a little lon
ger than we expected. I dont think now we
shall "he in Portland before the 28th or 29th
of this month. So I thought I’d jest write
you a line that you might be down there about
that time. In hast your loving neft'u.

Hints to those who ride on Horse
back.—Riding on horseback seems to be
quite fashionable among the ladies the pres
ent season, and the fact that Miss Fanny
Kemble rides, will make it, no doubt, quite
the rage. There are a parcel of well dress
ed, whiskered young men about town, whom
the ladies make use of as attendants on their
rides, and who doubtless will better serve the
state in this capacity than any other. But
we have observed several of them to be to
tally ignorant of their duty on such occasions,
and to conduct themselves and their horses
in such a way as to bs mere incumbran
ces to the ladies they attend, wc beg leave to
give them a word of advice respecting the
important business on which they have so
rashly and ignorantly entered. Any thing
that onght to be done at all, ought to be well
done.
In the first place, they should neither ride
before the lady nor behind her. If ono gets
in advance of the lady, he will hardly be ta
ken to be of the same party ; if one follows
on behind, he may be supposed to be the la
dy’s footman, but will hardly be taken to be
her friend. But what is of more conse
quence, it i3 extremely important both for the
safety of the lady, the convenience of the li-
ders, and the comforts of the lookers on, that
the gentleman should not get (sis wc very of.
ten sec him) on. the wrong side. Let him by
no means go rubbing dong by the lady’s
stirrup. He should be on the other sid<f, at
the lady’s right hand, so that he may without
difficulty approach closo to her, should it be
necessary to whisper a soft thing in her ear,
or to catch at her horse’s reins to prevent his
stumbling. *It is true the lady’s face is turn
ed the other way, but on such an occasion,
one ought to make a magnanimous sacrifice
of one’s vanity to the lady’s comfort and safe
ty ; and thoijgh while her face is turned
from us, she is no longer in danger of being
captivated by one’s nicely combed whiskers,
or smoothly brushed hat, yet this is almost,
if not entirely compensated, by the power of
approaching close to her, and pouring into
her ear such a copious torrent of fashionable
nonsense, as no female heart can possibly
resist.—Boston Atlas.
From the Albany Evening Journal.
Printers’ Enterprise.—The N. Y. Ga.
zette states, that in the establishment of the
Harpers o£ New-York, there are seventeen
presses, and one working by horse power,
which equals the work of six or seven com
mon presses ; and that the persons employed
in their stereotyping, printing and hook bind,
ing department, are one hundred and forty in
number.
Since this subject is started we will take
the liberty to add, on what we considcr.good
authority, that the printing of the establish
ment costs SI00, and the paper $200 a day;
that they employ a considerable number of
workmen out of their own quarters; that they
turn out on an avt* igc, everyday in the year,a
book of the Family Library size ; and that
the Postage bill of t he (inn is about one thou
sand dollars per annum.—Mercantile. Journal.
“ Since the subject is started,” wc must be
permitted to put in our car, for the purpose of
we stating a fact which will teach young mechan
ics what may be accomplished by industry,
intelligence and enterprise. It is but a few
years since the Harpers were Journeymen
Printers. In 181G, the editor of this Jour
nal was a pressmatc of James Harper, in the
office of Alderman Jonathan Seymour, of
New-York, a man that honors our Craft, and
who is remembered with esteem and affection
by all who ever held situations in his office.—
At that day, Harper was known as a « driver,
and well we remember the many long and
hard pulls he gave us r.t the Bar. Nothing
short of twelve tokens a day would satisfy
him. His brother John worked at a press in
the same room and was a chip of the same
block. Dead horses were never found upon
their Banks. It required no gift of prophecy
to see, from these young men’s manners of ta
king time by the fore lock that thev were des
tined to “ make a spoon or spoil a horn.” We
are happy to learn that they hate made
“spoon” with which they are diligently em
ployed in extracting honey from the “ Horn of

Singular Habits of Life.—An old gen
tleman by the name of Hirtc, died lately at
Lebanon, (Pa.) having “run with Father
Time,” and reached theoutpost of ninety. His
habit-- were in many respects very singular.
His usual mode and hours of meals were
breakfast, 10 o’clock A. M. coffee and cake,
or bread and butter ; dinner 2 or 3 o’clock,
P. M., tea and bread and butter ; supper 10
at night, roast goose, or pig, with cold slau and
potatoes, in no limited quantity, a slice of su-
gar cake, a goodly portion of apples or peach
es, or both, two or three glasses of good wine,
and a pipe of tobacco. With this repast, he
seldom consumed less than one hour, and at
12, 1, or 2 o’clock he retired to enjoy an un
broken rest, until 9 or half past 9 o’clock in the
morning, and never knew whiit it was to be
troubled with dyspepsia.—Boston Transcript
MURDER, MOST FOUL, BLOODY AND HORRIBLE.
Among the sickening details of outrage
and crime which crowd upon us from .ill
quarters of the country, the following case oi
cold, bloody and brutal murder, is the most
revolting and horrible which has long met our
eye. It is with reluctance that we present
these details—stained as they are with all
that is black iu depravity, and ti.;er spirited in
malice—to the readers ol' the Intelligencer.
No one can hear the particulars o: this fien
dish act without a shudder of honor—no one
can regard its cowardly and bridal perpe
trator as a member of our race—“nor blush
to thir.k himself a man.”
It is by no means the first case of cruel
and deliberate femicide in this vicinity. In
other instances the murderer escaped. The
crime passed by unpunished. The lbllowiu
details arc the best comment on the prudeuce
of mercy so bestowed. '
In Front, above Otter street, a poor family
of the name of Sparks, and consisting of a
man, his wife and several children, have for
some time resided. On Monday evening
Thomas Sparks, the father, who is represen
ted as a man of the worst passions, returned
home in a partial state of intoxication. The
fiend in his bosom was wholly unchained—
the evil passions of his nature careered in
freedom, and having no other being near up
on whom to vent his rage—he struck the wife
of his bosom—the mother of his children, one
of whom, an infant, was clinging to her breast
at the time. One blow was insufficient; and
procuring a heavy slick, he commenced the
task of murder with renewed determination
and vigor. He struck her with this club,
until at length with a heavy. blow upon the
head, lie felled her to the earth. He then
dragged her in the house. Here, while her
lifeless and bloody corpse lay upon the floor
before him, with th-* infant hanging at her
breast, and the larger children clinging silent
and pale, arouud her—the demon threw him
self upon the couch—and slept ! The night
passed away with the horrible witness of his
crime in the same room, and within a few feet
of him—yet he slept on as*it murder were a
sport—as if blood—the blood of his wife—
could be spilled upon his own hearthstone,
without exciting regret or apprehension.
Even in the morning when the fumes of
passion had passed off, he arose from his
bed and leaving the body of his victim to re-
mains untouched and almost unnoticed, re-
paired as usual to his work. When the
neighbors came in they found the body ex
tended on the floor, with one child laying
asleep beside- it, and the infant upon its mur
dered mother’s breast seeking nurture from
that source which its unnatural and fiendish
father had forever closed. The wretch was
apprehended and taken before Alderman
Iluchinson and committed. A coroner’s ju
ry was convened, the corpse examined by
several physicians., end a verdict returned
that she came to dentil by blows indicted by
her husband.—Philadelphia Daily Intel.
Popular Enthusiasms.—It is utterly im
possible to convey by any language the tu-
multhous enthusiasm of the people, when the
Man of the people makes his appearance in
public. This enthusiasm prevadcs all class
es, men, women and children. His old vin
dictive malignant opponents, now reduced by
the destiny of triumphant patriotism and vir
tue to a mere handful, generally keep to their
houses—get out of town, or skulk away into
dark places to brood over their malicious ef
forts, defeated and disgraced as theyfh ivo been.
The presence of Andrew Jackson among
the pcoplo, has removed mountains of preju
dice, falsehood and misrepresentation. His
simple, engaging, frank and fascinating man-
ners hw noble ifiein—his venerable looks
and appearance—his grey hairs—his honest
countenance furrowed by time and toils for
the glory of his country, all together bring up
into the heart those warm gushes of honest
enthusiasm, which mark most every man, wo
man and child, whb, amidst the crowd, gets
a chance of taking him by the hand.
We never knew distinctly what popular
enthusiasm was till we saw Andrew Jackson
among the people. Elevated by the suffra
ges of a free people, he lives in their hearts,
and is a part of their warmest affections. No
public man in this country ever enjoyed such
unbounded, such overwhelming popularity as
he does. The people feel and know that he
is one of themselves,that he commenced life a
poor hoy, without friends, without patrons—
that he is indebted to the energy of his own
juiad for all the honors heaped upon him, and
The efficacy of soot in stopping blood pro
cceding from a fresli wound was lately tested,
and proved beyond a doubt, in the case of Na
than Cornish, near Newark, New Castle
County, who while in making a fence, by a
mis-stroke of the axe, cut his leg badly to the
bone, which bled profusely. Not being at
first aware of the injury ho had sustained,
he continued at work, till perceiving the
blood running very freely, he pulled off his
boot, an<l was alarmed at finding it drenched
with blood. He immediately started for home,
the blood from his leg continuing to increase,
and after his arrival proceeded to try various
remedies for stopping it, without effect. Af
ter trying almost every remedy without suc
cess, and despairing of stopping the blood,
with the loss of which his strength was fast
wearing away—soot was applied, and to the
surprise of every one the bleeding was stop
ped almost instantly. And what is still more
singular, the pain which was very severe, al
most as soon abated, and he is now iq a fair
way to recover.—Delaware Gazette..

France seems greatly occupied with the

assurance of liberty from the government, and
that this promise has already produced a
sensible improvement of her health. The
Gazette de France has desisted from furnish

Germany.—The Nocker Gazette says :
“ According to the hist letters from Munich
and Stuttgurd, the Governments of Bavaria
and YVirteinberg have decided not to ratify the
Treaty of Commerce with Prussia.”
A letter from Reggio, dated the 1st inst.

Spain.—A letter of the 5th of May, from
Tarragona, mentions an insurrection among
the country people about Reus, three leagues
from that towu, occasioned by the instigation
of the monks. Several villages had united and
taken up arms. Their banner bears the in
scription :—“ Long live Charles V. and death
to the Queen !” Of all the villages, Alforge
and Pevoleda, have displayed the greatest
violence.
Extract of a letter of the 3d May, from
Madrid: “ The new order of succession is
threatened with very powerful resistance
from the Curlists, and this opposition will
not be confined to the murmurs of an insig
nificant party, bat will resound with v the ele
vated voice of a Prince of the Blood aud se
ven Archbishops and Bishops, who • would
protest against the new fundamental law.—
Nevertheless, all the necessary prepar .lions
for the meeting r.o take the Oath of Acknowl
edgment are continued. An event, however,
is on the eve of taking place which may
suspend this measure, for it is reported that
the Queen is again pregnant. This report
annoys the Car ists, and by way of consol
ing themselves, they raise doubts of.the fact.
It is probable that Don Curios, and his family
will, in consequence, suspend their journey
to Rome. This is believed by several per
sons attached to his.household, who had been
left at Madrid, and are expecting that the
journey into Italy will be countermanded.”
Russia.—A letter from St. Petersburg, da.
ted 25th. April, states that Gen. Orlolf has
been ordered to proceed to Constantinople to
take command of the Russian land and sea
troops there, and has been accredited also
as extraordinary ambassador. Hence it.has
been naturally concluded that the war will be
continued. All the numerous disposable
regiments were concentrated on the Tur
kish boundaries. Prince Puskewitch lias pre

It would appear, by accounts from Loudon,
that a strong belief was entertained there,
that matters between Holland and Belgium
were approaching a settlement.
The accounts received by the previous ar
rivals from France, that a treaty has been
concluded between the. Ottoman Porte and
the Pacha of Egypt, are partially confirmed,
at least it is certain that a vessel has arrived
at Toulon bringing this intelligence. At the
same time it is generally asserted that diffi
culties still exist between the Grand Seignior
and his vassal. It is said that though a trea

latter. England, it is believed, has positive

resentative to every 2076. The lower division con
sisting of 22 small districts and parishes and contain,
ing a population of 43,204, is represented by 69
members—one Representative to every 626!!
VVe might stop here with this simple statement of
facts, but in order make more apparent the over
whelming influence of taxation over population in
that State, we will add the following calculation:
“ the upjier division was, on tho principle of free
white population, equally represented with the low
er, it would have, instead of 100,331 representatives!
That is, m 100 b to 331, so is the difference between
the white and mixed basis of representation in South
Carolina! This statement is made on the aggregate
free while population of the State. We will now
bring it down to the voters thereof. 19 parishes
and 6 of the lower districts, containing 9441 voters,
send to the Legislature 85 Representatives. 20 of
the upper districts, containing 26,892 voters, scud
but 84—so that 9441 voters of the low country have'
a majority of representatives over 26,892 in the up
country!! Again, 12 parishes on the sea board con

Thus we sec, that, instead of the white basis bring

Contents of R.r. Randolph’s Will.—
Wc understand from a friend at Charlotte
Court-house, that the will of Mr. Randolph
was opened at Roanoke, his late residence, on
Friday last, by Judge Leigh, in the presence
of Judge Tucker and one or two other gen
tlemen. The following are the principal if
not tho only devises.
To Henry St. George Tucker, President
of the Court of Appeals of Virginia, ten thou
sand dollara.
To Judge Leigh of Halifax, ten thousand
dollars.
To Judge Leigh’s son, John Randolph
Leigh a small boy, five thousand dollars.
To John Wickham, Esq, of this place,
some plate and a horse or two.
The- remainder of his estate—lands, ne-
groes, dec. to the son of his niece Mrs. Bry
ant, of Gloucester, daughter of John Coal
ter, Esq.
Judge Leigh and judge Tucker are the
executors. This will was made subsequent
to his return from Russia, and was dated in
January 1832.
Our informant says that he has not himself
seen the will, but that he gives us the report
believed at Charlotte Court-House. This
will will be offered for probate at the next
Charlotte Court. It is the same that was
left in Judge Leigh’s possession. An exam-
ination is. yet to be made among Mr. Ran-
dolph’s private papers. .

The packet ship Henry IV, at New-York,

the 18th.
Tho most important intelligence is the
breaking off o the mgociation between Ibrahim
Paclui and the Porte, the particulars of which
will be found below, and tho preparation on
both sides to resume hostilities. Consider,
able bodies of Russian troops arc flocking to
wards Constantinople, to join their comrades
already there. If hostilities are actually re-
sunled, and Russia takes an active part in the
affair, it is impossible to say what consequen
ces may eventually bo realized. England
and France will not look on iu silence and
sec the Autocrat extending his power over
the ruins of the Turkish Empire. Nor will
they be entirely satisfied with professions
which the whole line 6f his conduct goes to
contradict.
Holland and Belgium.—A letter from the
Hague, under the date of the 10th of May,
says;
“ If wc may believe the warlike prepara
tions which are making in the ports uponthe
fronttors, and the extraordinary movement
ou the part of the war ministry, the re-com-
mencement of hostilities is likely soon to take
place. Yesterday the news was received
that six gun boats, laden with all sorts of mu
nitions, had left Flushing to disembark their
cargoes in some of our ports. A grand re
view is to take place in presence of the king,
about tho middle of this month. His Ma
jesty will bo accompanied by the Prince of
Orange and the minister of war. All our
frontier lines will be visited, and the orders of
the day will be read to each detachment.
The intimacy between King William and
the King of Prussia becomes every day clo-
ser and more confirmed, and if we should
again be brought to extremities, the invasion
of Belgium by French troops would lead to
grave and important results. It is true that
the French cabinet, now warned in due time
ot the power of the North, would look twice
before it took a resolution which might lead
to a general eruption among the different Eu
ropean cabinets.”
The negociations were still carded on be
tween the two governments, but no indica
tions are given of a pacific issue.

On reaching Connecticut, the President was ad-
