A correspondent who wrote us on Saturday
and Monday last, but whose letters, from the
state of the roads and drivers, caused by the
late heavy rains, reached us but yesterday,ob
serves (23d inat.)
“This morning the Senate reconsidered the
vote rejecting the Marine and Fire-Insurance
Bank bill, and after striking out the riders pla
ced upon it by Mr. King, of Glynn, finally ■
passed it —yeas, 32, nays 28. Great exertions
were made on the part of your delegation and
their friends to carry this measure. The fate
of the bill has been somewhat singular. It
has been killed in both houses, reconsidered
in both, and has finally passed both. The
Brunswick Bank bill Ims just passed the House
—Yeas 59, nays 52.
On the 25th the same correspondent observes
—“A motion was this morning made by Air.
Shaffer, to reconsider the vote of Saturday, in
the House, laying on the table for the balance '
of the session the bill for the relief of Levi S.;
D’Lyon of your city. The House refused to j
reconsider—yeas 40, nays 32. Tlio House |
had nothing to do, after reading the journals, |
hut to await the action of the Senate. 1 must
close for the mail. _
A Leader “Called Oi r.” Mr. B—,
a provincial manager, who visits several
small towns, within forty miles of the me
tropolis, (Guildford, Heading, Croydon,
t!Lc.) engaged anew leader of the hand,
a very efficient musician; but this gentle
man was eternally teazing Mr. B—, with
hopes that he woulden’t go to Croydon.
“What has Croydon done to von ?” ask- 1
ed the manager, “Are you in debt there ?” j
“No.” “Have you a wife there?” ‘No.’,
A dozen interrogatories were negatived, ,
and the mystery remained unravelled. At
length the company did actually go to
Croydon, and surely against his will, the \
luckless leader too. He had scarcely ta
ken his seat on the first night, when a'
voice from the gallery exclaimed, “Who
sawed the man’s legs off ?” Next night,
and every night after, another and anoth
er caller came, and the last call was loud
er than the former. At length the leader I
sent in his resignation. “I can hear it
no longer, Sir.” “Bear what Sir ?” —said !
Mr. B—, who had never applied the gal
lery exclamation to his leader. “Why
don’t you hear’ein calling me out every
night, “Who sawed the mail’s legs off?” j
“To he sure I do, but it is some slang j
phrase, and what can it matter to you ? ’ I
“Every thing, Sir?” “Why, did you
ever saw a mail’s legs oft'?” “Alas ! Sir,
I was a small undertaker in this town
once, and having mismeasured a coffin
for the work-house, I was obliged to cut
off" the legs of the corpse to put him in it. j
This got air, and by this cry they hunted l
me out of town.”
i
The last Case of Ajisevce of
Mind.—A necromancer, a few mornings:
since, when dressing for breakfast, drew J
the arms of his coat over his drum-stick
legs, and putting his pantaloons on where
his coat should he, walked leisurly down’
stairs upon his hands, with his feet in the
air. lie did not discover his mistake un
til in drinking coffee, he spilt some and
burnt bis nose.
Tom Dibdin. Behind the orchestra,
or thereabout, there is a retiring room for
the hand, called the music-room. When
Tom Dibdin was stage manager at Sad
ler’s Wells, lie heard an unwonted gig
gling in this room, accoinpained by some
uproar : lie proceeded thither, but ere lie
arrived the gigglers had been concealed,
and the musicians where hiding the pew
ter pots and glasses by their instruments.
‘YVhat on earth are you doing here now?’
asked Dibdin. ‘We came down to look
at the quartet,’ was the reply. ‘l’ve heard
of many quarts drank but never of any
quart cat, in tha room before,’ said the
punster.
Another remarkable instance of abliv
-1 iousticss ! A gentleman, after hearing the
| account of the absent middled man who
wiped his face with the newspaper, and
! sat down to peruse the napkin, said that
was nothing to an- instance that occurred
to his observation. His bedfellow, lately,
who was remarkable, for his habitual ab
sence of mind, after having made all need
ful arrangements for retiring to rest —put
! his candle into bed, and blew himsell
out! !—[Boston Post.

F JT4 JIE vast patronage which has been awar-
A ded the Courier is the best evidence of
its approval. It has the largest subscription
list in tiffs country. It is the largest and cheatv
pest Family Newspaper ever issued in the U
nitt-d States, containing articles in Literatnre,
Science and the Arts ; Internal Improvement,
Agriculture, in short every variety of topics
usually introduced into a public Journal. Giv
ing full accounts of sales, markets and news
of the latest dates.
Without interfering with the usual variety f "
| the Courier litis presented ten volumes of the’-
j most popular literature of the day within the
; last year. This feature puts into the hands of
its patrons the uioStt-nti-ilaining and popular
current literature, amounting each year to six
| times tin- price paid for subscription— in addi
tion to tin- immens# quantity of other matters
which appear in its columns. In the contin
uation of this feature we shall endeavor to pre
sent new and popular works with such expedi
• ion that the publication cannot be anticipated
in other sources. In the future numbers w®
shall draw troin the pens of such writars ak ' -

And, in short, from the whole range of the
current literature of Europe, with which our'
arrangements will sujcply us at as early.a mo
ment as they can be received in the country.
Besides we have the pleasure of numbering
among our contributors many of the rapst dis
tinguished writers of our country, from whose
pens ORIGINAL TALES, POEMS, SONGS-
N A R IIATIV KS AND SK ETC ITES, will con
tinue to add interest to its oolumns.
Tin- Architectural beauty of many of tfav
PUBLIC BUILDINGS of this city is prover
bial. Believing it will be acceptable to our
numerous patrons to be presented with EN
GRAVED ILLUSTRATIONS of thosp edi
fices, we are engaged in bringing out a com
plete series, which will form a collection that
may well be termed, THE LIONS OF PHIL
ADELPHIA. YVIw-re it is expedient, we ac
company tlie engravings with such descriptions
ot size and facts of history, as may be'of inter
est.
The Courier is published at the low of'
Two Dollars. For this small sum subscribers
get valuable and entertaining matter each week
enough to fill a common book of two hundred
and fifty pages, and equal to fifty tw T o volumes
a year, and which is estimated to be read, week
ly) by at least two hundred thousand people,
scattered in all parts of the country ,* from
Maine to Florida, and from the sea board to the
lakes.
This approved Family Newspaper is strictly
neutral in religious and political matters, and
the uncompromising opponent of quackery of
every kind.
[CP Asa trifling expression of our regard,
we shall print the whole series of the Engra
ved Illustrations, at their completion, upon fine
white paper, in uniform style—forming a beaa
tii'ul collection idHf iews, and present them ts
such of our Country Brethren as may -oblige
us by an insertion of the above advertisement.
