Mistaking a Hisband —ln August, 1837, a man, named Barclay Flauiganlus, led to the altar a young female, named Lliza Crockett, whom the Rev. Or. Ben son, by virtue of authority in him vested, united in marriage, and as he thought, I tirnily wedded into one. Miss Crockett was a good industrious girl, and by her application in business as a servant in the Astor House, and her habits of rigid econ omy, had ainasswJ soveral hundred dollars in money, which she had laid by in cash in her brother’s house, wire also, by his industry, had been able to accumulate sev eral hundred dollars more. After a short period of connubial enjoyment, tiic hus band of Kliza become suddenly solic t ous to leave the city, and settle in some more southern and sunny clime with his loving wife, in order theb'tterto adva ce their fortunes, and to make provisions in season lor any little unseen responsibili ties that might chance to thrust their heads into this unfeeliu'' world. With tl iis story he so beguiled bis bride that she really believed hu was in earn est, and was induced to place her money ia a situation that her- anxious husband could find it at any time. Satisfied with this state of things, the husband (Barclay) rose one morning early, and telling Ins wife he was going down to the wharf to engage a passage for New Orleans (if she remembered rightly,) stole all the money of Ids wife and of her brother, amountin' to nearly eight hundred dollars and w.th it hastily left the city, and notwithstand ing the most anxious inquiries of his wife aided by the police, has never since been se.Mi in this city:—Eliza, as was to be supposed, was wrapped in grief, and near ly crazed with sorrow, as she had in a single day 1 >st not only her much loved husband, but also all her money, and was thrown pennvless upon the war and to be gin her course anew. By the assistance of a disinterested friend she procured a service place, for a lime, and finally, in the progress of events she found herself in the American Hotel as a servant, in the receipt of excellent wages, where she was pushing her for tunes onward again, with as much cheer fulness, as if nothing had ever occurred to mar her hope or dissipate her days. An event however occurred a few days since that aroused the latent fires of Eli za’s tranquil mind into ardent action. A gentleman of ample fortune and lolly fame arrived in this city from the Island of .Madeira, and supplied himself with lodg ings at the American Hotel, There for a time he remained unsuspected and tin disturbed, as lie deserved to he. On Mon day evening however, the vision of his face and form passed before Eliza’s eyes, and she fancied, in that gay and gallant stranger she recognized her juice loved husband. Full of this belief she went to her brother who saw l lie stranger, and also believed in his identity: and determined to make an example of him for the bene fit of all future wives who happen to be robbed and then deserted—she hurried to the Police Office and there complained of the gc. : tleinaii, whom she called her husband Bare! iv and straightway had him arrested ami carried before the police magistrate. There the charge was stated, Eliza was positive, ami her brother sin cerely believed that the stranger was the wicked brother-in-law who had robbed him and his sister, and then absconded, and the gentleman, who bad never been in oar city or country before, was aston ished ami indignant that he should lie charged with having married an Irish ser vmt oirl, and then robbing her and her brother of the money they had earned. The positive Eliza stated as proofth.it he had a scar on Lis side, and the gentleman submitted to bo examined, and behold, no scar was to he found. In short, the stran ger exhibited ample evidence to establish his entire innocence—and was discharg ed—-while the disappointed Lliza went murmuring away, still secretly believing that the man, though ch mged, was still her long lost husband.-—[N. \ .

Yesterday morning one of the men em ployed in Mrs. Burnham's Steam Bakery, at Roxbury, had the misfortune to get his hand caught between a fluted roller and a copper platform, on which the dough is kneaded, nnd in an instant ol time the arm was drawn in above the elbow, and most horribly crushed.

Cot.n Water for Cuilur&x.—Coining as we know it does from a physician of standing in this city, we have no hesita tion in publishing the annexed communi cation.—f.\. Y. Com. Adv. During the prevalence of this hot wea ther, there is nothing so grateful to in fants as cold water; these little creatures! suffer equally with adults from thirst, es-! pccially at night, yet strange to say, the j mother cither neglects, or fears to offer cold w ater. In my practice, in several instances, I have been called to see chil dren laboring under fever from the ef fects of thirst, and, upon giving cold wa ter. have had the pleasure of seeing them recover in a very short time, a free pres piration following the use of this natural remedy. Real thirst cannot be allayed by anything as well as by water. When a child is feverish at niglft, it will, in a majority of cases, be cured by freely sponging its face and with tepid water, and allowing it to drink cold wa ter. Let parents who have sickly children of anv age try this plan, if it does no good it will produce no evil; but I am certain it will arrest much suffering by a very "simple and grateful remedy.” A Bisini'ss lloax.—A journeyman tai lor has been paying Jeremy Diddler 011 a large scale among the Baltimore mer chants.

[From the Journal of Commerce.] Massachusetts a Century ago. —The Boston Transcript copies the following ad vertisements from the “New England Weekly Journal” for February 24th. March 17th, and April 21st, 1729. They exhibit not only a slave-holding communi ty, but a slave-importing community.— Had tlie climate of Massachusetts been like that of South Carolina and Georgia, who can say that she would not have'been a slave-holding State to this day? At 1 ast there is room for charity towards the Southern States, whether it be Old Eng land or New England that judge them. As for Old England, history is full of proof that she forced slavery upon her American colonies, both on the continent and in the West India Islands. In 1700, the colony of South Carolina passed an act to prohibit the further importation of slaves. Great Britain rejected with in dignation; reprimanded the Governor, and sent a circular to all the other Govern ments, warning them against a similar of fence.

The author of the original Jacl: Down ing Letters [Sun a Smith, Esq. of Port land, Maine,] has been of late engaged in a correspondence from near the disput ed territory, with his brother officer Gen. Morris, of the New York Mirror, the most of which, under the head of “Letters from John S.nit/'i, of Smitliville, Down East, in the State of Maine,” is comprised of epistles from his s»n, a private in the bor der army during the late terrible cam* l ,a 'S»- j* .f These letters have been published in book form, illustrated with. etchings, and no doubt will meet with as an extensive a sale ns the Letters of “Mayor Jack Down ing.” The following is the sketch of a dread ful discharge of musketry over the bound ary line, which must have carried dismay into every kingdom in England. It is told inimitably. We must premise that having nothing to do, a detachment of the main army, fired with valor, determined to seek the boundary line and toe the same. Mr. William Wigginsclomb atree to get the first view.— (Nat. lilt. “What upon earth,” said Sargent John son, “is Billy arter now?” “A squirrel, I guess,” said I; "I’ll bet a potatoe, Billy has treed a sqpirrel.” When we got along up a little nearer, Sargent Johnson called out to him to know what he was doing up there. “I’m jest a looking off here to see if I can see the line,” said Billy, stretching his heed way to tbetiastward, and looking with all the eyes in his head. “Welt do you see it?” said Sargent Johnson. “See it? no.” sasa Lo'y; “t don't see nothing but woods, and woods as far as I , see.” Sargent Johnson told him he guessed he would aee it quicker if he was on the ground, than he would up there. So Billy pome down again, and we jogged along, lotme by we come to a tree that has some ! Aid marks and spots 3>n two sides of it And we looked along north and south of this tree, for SnrgenT Johnsbn said the line runs due north from the momimeat, and •e found some trees marked and spotted jest' m» it “Ah, ’ says Sargent Johnson, “we’ve found it. This is the boundary line; we’ve got it at last. Now look and see if you can see the British on ’totlier ide of it; and let every man hold on to his gun and be rea dy to fire, if I say tire word.” We looked across' the line, and looked and looked, but we couldn’t see nothin’ but trees and bushes, and woods and swamps. We hollered across the line as hard as we could holler, to see if we could raise any of the British, for we all felt as if xye wanted to have a brush. And we thought at first they answered us; but when we came to holler again, we found it was only the echo of our own voices, that come baclefrom the hills a little ways off. So xve marched along the line two or three miles, but we couldn’t see nor hear nothin’ of nobody. At last we sot down, and got the victuals out of our knapsacks and eat our dinners and rested When we got ready to start Agtatn. to go back to our fort, Sargent Joftrtson said we would give the British one broadside before wc left ’em, jest to let ’em know what the Y’ankee boys are made of. Sf be told us to see that our guns was all right; and then he ordered us to stand up all in a row, and toe the line, facing to the British vide; and then lie give us off the word — “Make ready! take aim!—fire!” “There,” says Sargent Johnson, “now I can go home contented, war or no war; for tee’vc poured one good grist into their territory, and they may help themselves if they can.” This account, which is doubtless from life, is the oniy record of a battle during the whole campaign.

[From the Albany Evening Journal.] GENERAL BANKING LAW. We publish to-day aTable prepared by the comptroller, showing tiic rise ant! progress of Banking Associations formed and forming under the General Law pass ed by the Legislature of fB3B. The forty-three Banking Associations which had been formed on the 30th April, have deposited 82,137,090 in State stocks and 8381,316,13 in Bonds and Mortgages, making a total of $2,99(5,406,13 as securi ty for the redemption of their notes. Up to the same period, the notes delivered by the Bank Department, to these 43 Banks, for circulation, amounted to $1,590,818. Of-tjiis sum there were 67,500 notes of of one d011ar— 162,848, of tw denomination of two dollars—2l,- 61 l, of the denomination of three dollars —174,300 of the denomination of five dollars— 2l,6lo, of the denomination of ten dollars—and 450 of the denomination of one hundred dollars. The amount of notes ordered by these 43 Associations is $4,251,111. So far it will be seen, only about a mil lion and a half of dollars have been added' by the Associations to our circulation.— This moderate increase will quiet the ap prehensions of those who apprehend an in fjation of the currency. . Tire General Banking law, so fur, works well. That it will work well, for the Peo ple, we have entire confidence. But that it will work as well for its stockholders, is less certain. But of this, after a year’s experience, we shall have better informa tion. Several of the Associations mentioned in the table, have, since the 30th April deposited their securities and received their* notes for circulation. Among these are the Bank of Commerce, New York; the Howard Trust and Banking Company, of Troy; the Bailston Spa Bunk, the Fort Plain Bank, the Bank of Vernon, &.c. s [From the Mobile Journal.] The. Lever Cotton Press, the progress of which has been watched with so much attention by the cotton dealers in this ci ty, has been finished at last and is now ready for work. At this distance from the foundries, where parts of the machine ry could be altered and fitted to suit the ! progress of experiment, great delays ne- I occur in perfecting any work of magnitude. This has been severely felt by the gentlemen engaged in construct ing this press. They have, however, at last succeeded in potting the principle of the lever into satisfactory operation; and have so arranged matters* that any little defect that might exist ia the machinery can be remedied on the spetf and ail ne cessary repairs can be made without delay. We congratulate them upon tire result ol their labors and expenses, and wish them ■»*boada«t reward for their pulfta aptrrt aad enterprise.

They look, however, very sim ple, and can be' inspected at the press, at the foot of State street, on Townsend’s wharf. We saw it in operation the other day, and to our unpractised qye, its work ings were simple, rapid mafe efficient. Four presses were driven en gine, of five-horse power anymore could be worked advantageously. Superiority is claimed for it over the common presain the following particulars: The first cost construction is less (ban one-half of a screw press of the same capacity; Owing to its strength and simplicity where the strain is applied, the cost of re pairs will not amount to one-fourlhof that of the screw press; The presses being separate from each other, there is great saving of time—the hands tying one bale while the next is pressed, and so on. Sixty bales per hour can be pressed, tied and delivered, with ease, requiring not more than twenty hands to man the whole. This is the ordinary work-of the machine, which could be quickened if de sirable. An engine of five horse power will drive the four presses now up, at an ex penditure ol one cord of wood for twelve hours, applying to each bale a pressure equal to four hundred tons. Our readers who are more familiar than we can pretend to be with press opera tions can compare these results with those attained under tire present system.
