what a charming sedative it must be n

Worry them, yet it always appear d to nu
that your rich, high fed and highly fa»h

In me neighborhood lives a very clever
follow,'by the mime of Nic Ifoueywood:

he owns ships and sells sugar and molass

as much us they earn, Honey wood took
aline house and married a line wife.-
She was voting, handsome, and had a for
tune of 20,000 dols. for which she gave
herself 20,000 airs. Nic is a very fiospi

hilling on a sola in an elegant neglign

in many wrinkles; and she returned my
salutations with a snappish, disdainful noil,
which satisfied me tiial something hud

here have i been moping up and.down

that you have been disappointed; I did
promise to walk with you, hut I made tin
promise without reflection. Think for a
moment, said he, while seating himself
by her side and taking her hand, on which
he imprinted an affectionate kiss, think
, what unfavorable conclusions must be
• drawn from seeing a man •('.business gal
lanting bis wife through ft fashionable
street at noon day, entering a variety of
stoics, and cheapening a variety of articles
of luxury—how would my credit stand on

siiu'ss and industry haye of me ? I don’t

joked the bell rope, and, when the ser
vant appeared, ordered dinner with a
peremptory mv.
My friend opened a bock of drawings, to
engage my attention, and hide his own
confusion. Our dinner was equally un
jileasant-*-the lady took occasion to find
fault with every thing, and when I did
•myself the honor to drink her health, she
replied with a slight nod of the head—
In abort, 1 soon terminated my unpleas
ant interview, fully satisfied, that if for
tune was prodigal, nature hud been nig
-gardly in her gifts to this lady—that she
squeesed too much acid in the cup of do
niestic bliss to render the draught palata

consolation in life, had been totally dc
(tied'her. This is one of the blanks in
matrimony, thinks I, as I look n\y leave;
there are thousands such iu theNvheel, Si
1 do not know whether th««risk is too
frent to venture beyond the pale of cell

Os all hideous spectacles a handsome
woman with a hud temper, is the most re
volting. An ugly face may be shaded
with anger occasionally, without giving
an additional gloom to the countenance:
but to sec a storm arise on the smooth
and placid brow of a beautiful woman— l«
sec the hues of the Idly untl the damask,
which nature has blended in her checks,
disappear, and the hectic glow of rage dis
figure her face—to acv Iu r forehead arch

folds, ami her ruby Ups quivering with
indignation—to mark the mild melting
beam of her blue eyes, transformed into
the glare of rage, and darting fire a
round her—to tee nature thus disguised,
as more than Sufficient to render asun

I pity ai man who has a scolding wife,
from my heart, because he is truly an ob

or reciimination will not mend the matter
yet I would recommend him to receive

CiV«7 List. —The following arc tlie re
solutions which were moved on Tuesday
night liy the Chancellor of the Exche

“ I Resolved, 1 hut il is the opinion of
this Committee, that tor the support of his
Majesty's household, and of the honor
and dignity of the Crown, there he grant
ed to Ins Majesty, during Ids life in that
part of the united kingdom called Eng

from the demise of his late Majesty; and
that there be granted, for the like pur
pose, in that part of the united kingdom
called Ireland, a revenue of 207,000/., to
commence from the same time.
“ 2. Uesoved, that it is the opinion of
this Committee, that the said revenue for
the support of his Majesty’s household,
and the honour and dignity of the Crown,
he charged upon and made payable out
of the Consolidated Fund of the united
kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
“ J. Resolved, That it is the opinion of

during the life of his present majesty, be
carried to the account of the Consolidated
Fund of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland.”
.In Irish Cabin. —The following ; ‘cture
of a cabin in an obscure village in the west
of Ireland is far-ton interesting to be with
held from our readers. It represents to
us what vve have in reality often seen ;
but w hat has seldom been with so much
fe. ling ponm ay ed. The interest excited
by this scene is greatly heightened by tlie
indications which it ass ords of the exer
cise of the humane and kindly affections
in the heart of our author.
" Oil quilling the carriage, 1 followed a
little hoy, whose curiosity had led him to
take a view of us. Dirt and rags could
not obscure the health at.tl intelligence
which his countenance displayed. He
w.is hastening to announce to his parents
tlie arrival of strangers, and reach the ca
bin a liitle before me. As I approached
the dour, the height of which did notes
c« ed four feet and a half, I w as met hv the
father, bending double to git out of his
wretched abode- hi erecting, hiniHelr* he
presented the figure oi a man,muscular,
well proportioned, and athletic. 1 was so
much struck with Ids appearance that 1
involuntarily stepped back.
“ « l>v gigantic figure, bareheaded be
fore me, hud a boiuv that would not have
disgraced an undent Israelite : he was
w ithout shoes or stockings, and almost a
sansculotte , vvithac-mt, orradieru lack
rt, that appeared as il the first bla.l of
wind would tear it to tatters. Though
Ids garb was thus tattered, lie had a man
ly commanding countenance. I asked
permission to swe the inside of his -cabin,
to which I received his most courteous as
sent. On stooping to enter at the do fir, 1
was stopped, and found that permission
from another was necessary before I could
bo admitted. A pig, which was in.- nod
to a stake driven into the floor, w ill; length
of rope suflicieiu to permit him the en
joyment el sun and air, demanded some
courtesy, which 1 showed him, and was
suffered to enter. The wife was engag

SERIOUS AFFRAY AT OLDHAM.
In our last publication, we noticed a
rumor which we trusted at the time,
would turn out either to he wholly on
founded, or greatly exaggerated.
It appears, however, that a very serious
fracas did occur, although the contradic
tory accounts of its origin and extent do
not justify our laying before the public all
the particulars which have appeared on
the subject; we therefore confine our
selves to the following petition, which
may be considered in {some degree as
an official document: which com
, prises all the circumstances of a disgrace
ful transaction, which will no doubt, very
soon become the subject ol Parliamentary
investigation.
To the Honorable the Commons of the
United Kingdoms of Great Britain and
Ireland, in I’arliament assembled;
The Petition of the undersigned, in
habitants of Oldham, in the County of Lan
caster, humbly sheweth,
That your Petitioners appeal to } our
Honorable House, for the redress of a Se
ries of military outrages, to which, for
some time past, they have been incessant
ly exposed, from the soldiers now quar
tered amongst us.
That your petition?ra, always reluctant
to intrude upon the attention of'your Hon.
House, would not now appeal to jmur
high jurisdiction, if the ordinary civil au
thorities were sufficient to afford tin m
that sure safe-guard of their persons a
gainst unlicensed violence on the five
and perfect enjoyment of which rests
their allegiance.
That on Monday, the 24'h of April,
♦he day appointed for the celebration of
this King’s hjrth day, a party of soldiers,
apparently inflamed with intoxication,
without provocation, attacked several of
the townsmen of your petitioners, whilst
sitting w ith them at a public house in the
Mai kel place, and with threats, force and
blow s, compelled them to leave the house.
That on live day following, about six
o’clock in the evening, another party of
soldiers who were quartered at the Hull’s
Head, a public house in Gecrge street,
in this town, commenced a desperate and
sanguinary affray with some of this inhab
itants then present, by thrusting the hat
ot a young man into the file, wherein one
of the military held it until it was entirely
consumed; to which wanton act of mis
chief some surprize having been express,
ed, another soldier seized the fire shovel,
and with his utmost violence, struck a
young man named Jonathan Buckley, o
ver his left eye, thereby inflicting a deep
w ound, by which he is now disabled from
following bis ordinary occupation.
That immediately following this most
savage assault, the’ rest of the soldiery
present began with every Weapon they
could find or make, to beat the remainder
of the townsmen; the furniture of the
hof.se was pulled to pieces, to provide in
strements of offence, and one lad, vour
petitioners have ascertained, has received
two wounds on- his face from the blows of
a large kitchen poker, then heated red
w ith the fire, from which it Had been just
drawn for that horrible purpose.
lhat whilst the parly w ho had thus com
,me need the affray were thus engaged, a
nothor body came down from the bar
racks, two of whom bore their mus
kets, and began to ill treat and assault
evu-y passenger; not one being allowed
to pass without either being cut by their
sabres or their bayonets, or beaten vith
their bludgeons. In one instance, an old
nun named Armstrong,, returning from
his labor, had one of his ears cut off; and
such was the malignant Airy by which the
soldiery were actuated, that they were
observed by the neighboring inhabitants,
who dared not, for their lives to venture
forth to rescue the unhappy sufferers,
nor did the soldiers cease their violence,
only when their victims seemed bereft of
sense and life.
That the deputy constable of the town,
and some assistants, in vain endeavored to
quell the tumult, from Which they were
driven by the military, after enduring se
vere perwonml assaults.,' ~ ~
That the soldiery, throughout the out
rage, refused to. acknowledge any subjec
tioiUothe cyvjl powerful were at last
only induced to. return to their barracks,
covered wi*h blood, by tbe command of
their officers.
• hat later in the evening w hen the mi
litary pat role, which, to the great terror,
annoyance, and indignation of your peti
tioners, ha# been recently employed in
this town, was sent out, the soldiers re
newed their excesses, by wantonly break
ing the windows and attacking the per
sons of the inhabitants; and your peti
tioners had every reason to apprehend a
night of horror wecld have ensued, had
not the commanding oJflfeef fortunately ar
rived from Manchester, and ordered the
troops back to their quarters. •
That your petitioners Lave ascertained
that upwards df eighteen persons have
been wounded, some so dangerously, that
death is expected speedily to ensue.
Your petitioners, therefore, most ear
nestly pray your Honorable House, to in
stitute an investigation into this most ap
palling instance of military ferocity, they
being fully convinced that no personal
safety can hereafter -be enjoyed in tliis
town, until signal and exemplary punish
ment be inflicted on the perpetrators ot
this dreadful oartrage—and your petition
ers further pr.ij’, that your Honorable
House will intercede with His Majesty, to
procure'a diminution of that immense
standing army, by which the lives ot His
Majesty’* subjects are endangered, and
the peace of the community disturbed,
while the enormous expcnce for its main
tenance, adds unnecessarily ami most
grievously to tbe intolerable burden of
taxation under which yonr petitioners, in
common wKh their fellow subjects, groan
with impatience.
And your petitioners, as in duty bound,
&c.

Tcr.sDAY Monxivn, July 4, 1820.
American Independence.
Another revolving year ushers in the
day which blessed, this happy country
wit.h a free government. Throughout the
union, preparations are now making to
celebrate our National Sabbath with the
usual demonstrations of joy and than ksgiv
ing. While thousands of human beings
are betiding under the oppression of Asi
atic Satraps, or the tyranny of more refi
ned Europeans; while the scaffolds of
England are smoking with human blood,
AMERICANS, with eyes beaming Inde
pendence, and hearts beating high with
gratitude, walk forth under the protecting
majesty of their Constitution and Laws,
to offer their adorations at the shrine of
Liberty. Although strong, the contrast
ia true—it is no fanciful deleniatlou—no
heated ebullition of the brain.
’l'he reflections which the celebration
of this day occasion, are full of sublimity
’Tis not the glittering equipage, the nod.
cling plume, the rolling drum, nor " all
the pomp and circumstance of glorious
■ war,” which fix upon the mind—These
soon fade away, leaving but indistinct im
pressions and unreal images. But, it is
the moral anil political p, inciples-~the dig'
nity of man which we are consecrating,
and which we should seriously practice
and sedulously cultivate, lhat give to re
flection its solid grandeur and sublimity.
Long may such principles be cherished—
long may they exist.
Let tbe “ star and garter” dignitaries
of the old world, ridicule the simplicity of
F our institutions, and the rusticity of our
| manners; and beast their titles and hered.
}• itary honors They dazzle, like an ignvs
. fatuus, only to deceive. We need not
I fear their attraction so long as our simpli
city is honest—our rusticity sincere—our
. titles, nobility of soul—and our hereditu
■ ry honors, the pride of a free and Cell
spent life.
Destructive Fire !
To the attention of our Correspondent
in NeW-York, we are indebted for the ear

POSTSCRIPT —Wednesday Morning.
A most awful and desolating FIR Eat Troy.
Yesterday about 4 o’clock in the after
noon a most awful and desolating fire
broke'outin the city of Troy, which has
laid in ruins one third of the fairest por
tion of that fiuurshing city. The num
ber ot building's destroyed is about one
hundred and twenty !—among which are
some of the best dwellings, and a great
proportion of the largest and most sub
stantial fire proof stores and store houses.
On River or Main-street, all the stores
and buildings of every kind, on the west
side, anu extending to the w ater’s edge,
from Gale’s store to Dr Coming’s, both
of which are saved, and on the east side,
from Congress-street to and including
Parker’s bookstore, are destroyed ; as are
all the buildings, except two’ (the Troy
bank and a dwelling house) on the west
side of Front or Second-street, to tbe
same extent as'on the side east of Main
street ; and the estimated loss is a MIL
LION OF DOLLARS.
it was about sunset when the news
reached Albany : many of our citizens
immediately went to the assistance of their
unfortunate neighbors, and several of our
engine companies with their engines It
was near II o’clock befige the fi ra was

The f lowing particulars have been
pobteK- furnished to us by a gentleman
who was at the fire:
It commenced at Mr Davis’ stable and
wood house, from a ccok stove; spread iu
different directions, both sides of River or
Main Street, and all but two houses burnt

bank of savannah.
We understand from unquestionable
authority, that the Planters’ Bank,and the
Hank of the Stale of Geotgia, having de
termined to take up the total amount of
their Notes held by the Branch Bank of
the U. States, located in this city, Diadt
the necessary enquiry for that purpose,
and being informed that the Branch Bank
had 5105,000 of the Bills of the Planters’
Hank, and 81,700 of the Bills of the Bank
of the Slate of Georgia, they have ac
cordingly p(H>l the whole aimvnt, the chic}
portion of winch payment Was in specie
dollars.
This determination, we learn, was the
result of a suggested arrangement to the
local Banks, which was considered as furn
ishing evidence of a friendly desire on
the part of the United States Bank to. have
the differences existing between the
Banks accommodated.
The Directors of the local-institutions,
in the expectation that the office of the
United States Bunk here will be authoris
ed to issue its. own notes, and thereby af
ford the opportunity of an exchange of
paper, and bear its due proportion of spe
cie.responsibility with the other Banking
institutions; and thinking too, that the
Branch Bank of the United States will
p now resume its accustomed or former
operations, and will not hereafter require
> settlements.of the objectionable nature of
. the one which had occasioned the recent
, difficulty, were induced to pay, and have
actually paid the total amount of their
• Bills in the hands cf the Branph Bank of
, the United States as above mentioned;
P thereby evincing, that thei;- stand against
the United Stales Bank was not made, be
: cause of their inability to pay the demands
» upon them, but from other considera
tions, involving principles, which they can
not relinquish
1 We had never, for a moment, doubt
ed the ability of the local Banks to re-.
. deem their notes in tne hands of the
I Branch Dank of the United States with
Specie ; but we have and do yet doubt,
i the propriety of the Brandi Bank of the
« United States using the Government
funds (and particularly in a quarter of the
Country where to much is received , and so
• little expended) to replenish their own
■ vaults w ith Specie, from the local Banks,
and to lessen the ability of every man i o
’ pay engagements to the United States.
if they can remit to the North at par ,
. dl the funds which they may receive in
dns section of the country, on account of
• the United States, (and that they can do
■ so, there is very little doubt) they should
be satisfied without harrassingthe local in
a stitntions for daily settlements in Specie.

Much «} the cause of the difficulties
which have lately occurred, is in a great
measure explained by the following quo
tailon from the concluding paragraphs,
in the celebrated Report of the Secreta

. House of Representatives of the United

the condition of the Bank of the United
States and' its offices,” & c . Uc.-, but

Jhe Loan —We understand that the
vynole cf the 6 per cent loan of two mil
lions of dollars, has been taken by the
bank of the United States. The lime for
receiving subscriptions expired on Wed
nesday. Various offers were made for
parts of the amount required : but the
bank of the U. States was the only bid
t.er for the whole. The premium offer
ed by the bank was 2 per cent: and. in
other respects, the conditions proposed
by it were m the highest degree fovora.

sum when and where it might be requir

It is an evidence of the high credit of

definable at the will of the government,
nearly three times the amount required
was offered at a premium.
