Tobacco smoke for Lice on Cattle.—Mr. M. W-

■ Into this be puts dry tobacco, then a coal or two o.
fire,then inserts a bellows nose and blows the
•inoke through. Tho smoke is not allowed to
come out in a single volume, but it issues through
twour three smull tubus in the canister, which
tubes are placed among the hair where the vermin
harbor.
Mr. M. says an instrument of this kind may be
made for 50 cents, and with it he can smoko 50
cattle in a short day. He says he finds a second
smoking sometimes necessary, and that is suflic

Buck Sea Spring Wheat.—Messrs. Gaylord
and Tucker:—Believing it will he beneficial to the
public to have this wheat reserved for seed, I make
this communication. It is believed, in litis because
it requires but about two thirds tho usual quantity
tosowanacre,—2nd, it yields better in n dry sea
son. If it lodges, it generally fills well—but its
great superiority consist* in its hardiness to with
stand the rust.
Our thresher. Mr. G. Furnum, of this town, says
he threshed in Cornwall, about 500 bushels of this
wheat,of 1842 crops, and did not have a rusty bun
dle; whereas, three fourths of the other wheat was
very materially damaged by rust. Of the 1843
crop, he threshed about 3000 bushels of this wheal;
and also, that it filled well where it lodged.
I learn that the wheal raised in Cornwall, came
from a peck of seed, procured near Boston in 1839
or *40. Some suppose there are two kinds, and
that the red chaff is the best. It is dark colored,
-bard and heavy. Until our millers learned how to
grind it, it was supposed to make inferior flour.

rectly attempts to weaken the evidence again* t
him. It declares, that “no woman whoso virtue it i
beyond suspicion, was ever insultingly spoken la .
far less insultingly touched, by a man in his sensea’ ’
—that they must have encouraged Bishop Onder-
douk by something in their manner, before lie would
liuve dared to take any liberties with them—and it
“fearlessly says, that a woman who comes upon the
stand to uccuse a minister uf God in Indecency ,
ought herself to he put on trial.” And these sneers
are thrown out oguinst ladies, whose characters
have never been impeached, who promptly pro
claimed his cunduct to their husbands, and who ru-
sented the insult at the very moment it was offered,
in a word, we must say, that we have never seen
a more unjust and shameful attack fulminuted by
the American press, than the one before us.
Tho controversy deepens every day. If we may
believe the statement in the N. Y. Herald, the
Bishop and his allies are about to resort to meas
ures which would fly in the face of tite verv canon*
and precedents of the Episcopal Church’. “It la
understood (lor example) thul Bishop Onderdonk
will be supported most intensely by his friends, and
will continue in the exercise uf his duties ns usual,
being regarded by his adherents us still the Bishop
of tite Diocese.’’ It is, moreover, suid, that an at
tempt will be mude.on the pari of the ladies to ar
rest the publication ol the evidence by no injunc
tion lrom the court of Chuncury, upon tho ground
that when they gave evidence before the Court, it
wus “upon a solemn assurance that it would never
be divulged."—tho,report has been since superse
ded by tite statement that the volume of evidence
would appear in the courso of the present week.
Besides, there wns no foundation for it. No such
assurance wus ever given to the Indies in question.
The members ol the Ecclesiastical Court them,
selves liavo not escaped the Ittsh oftlie press.
A communication appears in the Herald which
charges his prosecution to “puny bigotry and per-
sonul revenge"—and goes so tarns to assert, “that
a iike intolerant and persecuting spirit wus display,
ed in the case of Bishop Onderdonk of Philadel
phia." Thu same correspondent complains, too,
that “the diocese of Virginia appears to liavo per
formed a double pnrl on this occasion, huving acted
buth as accuser and judge—Bishop Meade officia

(Bishop Johns) as onu of the judges.” The writer

A Costly Dinner.—Mr. Bui war, the British
Minister ut Madrid, gave a grand dinner, on the
15th November, to several distinguished persons,
among whom were the Duke of Riunzares, (ci-de-
vnnt Muttoz) and many of the Corps Diplornuliquo.
This dinner soggestod to the Madrid correspondent
of the Puris National some curious observations
about another banquet, the ball given by Nurvacz,
the Prime Minister, which hud not then taken
place.
-Mr. Bulwer’s banquet will at all events be
eclipsed by that which Narvaez is preparing for the
10th. It is the whim of a Vizier. Seven hun
dred porsons are invited, und the cost of the feast
is reckoned at 1800 ounces of gold, or 90,000 fr’s.
($3,609.) Hu must have millions to indulge in
sucli largesse ; and Narvaez has them. Yet he
possessed hut his sword’s scabbard when he return
ed to Spain ; no inheritance has devolved to him,
and he bus won no lottery prize ; yet he has bought
and paid in cash a chateau wortlt 600,U00 francs ;
he has above a million in a Paris firm, which 1
could name, and he spends 90,000 francs on a din
ner. You see by these facts to what an extent rob-
bory is organized here. From the highest to the
lowest they are robbing everywhere, and there is
nothing to bo cumpared with this frantic dilnpida
lion. Mudume Munoz is not the last to satisfy her
uvidity ; she now wants 100,000,090 reals in the
way of urrears of the civil-list, which she claims
in virtue of the principle lliut she has been regent
und Sovereign Mistress of tho Cassette unto the
10th of October, 1844.’
Beautiful Anecdote.—A happier illustration
of the wonderful character of the Bible, and the
facility with which even a child tnay answer by it
the greatest of questions, and solve the suhlimest of
mysteries, was perhaps never given, than at an ex
amination of a deaf and dumb institution, some
years ago in London.
A little hoy was asked in writing, “who made the
world V He took tim chalk, and wrote, under ills
question, “In the beginning, God created the Heav
ens and the earth.
Another was then proposed, evidently adapted
to call his most powerful feeling into exercise :
‘Why wore you born deaf and dumb when 1 can
hear and speak ?’
‘Never,’ suid an eyo witness, ‘ahull I forget the
look of resignation which sut upon his counten
ance, as he look tho chalk and wrote !’
‘Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy
sight.’
South Carolina Agriculture.— Valuable pro-
duct of Cotton.—Mr. Archibul.l Seubrook of Edis.
to Island, raised 5440 Ihs. of Sea Island Cotton in
the seed, from 8 acres, and it is computed thul this
cotton when ginned will renlizo in money in
Charleston, $95 to the acre. Tite cotton is repre
sented of superior quality ; but superior or other
wise, the product per ucru is such as should satisfy
the bump of acquisitiveness of uny planter in the
country. The land us it uppears from tho state
ment, wus manured with 160 piled single horse
cart loads of murslt (grass.) It was put on in Au
gust, 1843, immediately ufter being cut and partly
listed in. Such u dressing with us would be con
sidered a very small one, not ono half that would

Novel Mode of Self-Destruction.—A native
of St; Denis, in Franco, lutely committed suicide
in a manner as strange us it is melunchuly. Tho
man being intent on self-destruction, conceived the
odd idea uf forming something ubout the size uf an
egg in pasteboard. This he filled with gunpowder
and placed it in Itis mouth, leaving one end of it ex
posed ,- ho tlton asked his wife to hand him a can
dle as if it were to light a cigar; she did so, when
lie, lifting it up, the powder ignited and went off,
blowing out his brains on thu spot. Hu died in-
slantoneously.
How to Preserve a Good Name.—Joseph
Clark, of Rhode Island, hns a very good idea of
the way in which a good character tnay bo kept or
lost. Being asked to stand for the Gubernatorial
chair in the State, he replied that, ll ho had enjoyed
a good character among his fellow citizens all his
life, (as was proved by Itis having bean chosen
Treasurer of the State for more than forty years,)
lie hud no nation of losing il now, in his old age,
by running for Governor.
Court, and prolesses fur the decisions of such n
Court, “no very profound reverence or respect,and
culls upon th j dioeeie of New York, to adopt a rem
edy, which though rather wrapt up in general allu
sions, seems to he tantamount to secession from tho
General Episcopal Church of the IT. Stntes.
The New York correspondent of the National
Intelligencer says:
Tite friends of the Bishop havo not yo t deter
mined on any positive opposing course. This i-t
evident lrom the language of the Churchm an, edit
ed by Dr. Seabury, his most active advo cute, in
which tho editor says: ‘If the Bishop is suspended,
the diocese, us respects the active exorcise of Epis-
copal functions, i-, for ought I can now see . brought
to a dead stand. For myself, I am not vet pre
pared to attend any convention, or be bouo d by any
of its nets, in which the Bishop of the dioc ese does
not of right preside-’ And again : ‘He is still your
Bishop, still your head, still the centre of unity to
Itis diocese.’ From this language it would seem
that there ure like to spring further nsperattes, and
divisions tit the Protestant Episcopal Chur ch.’’
And yet this declaration is made by a mnn who
devotes four columns of “ The Churchman” to the
“Result ol the Court"—and who begins fit by say
ing, “Brethren, I bow to tho decision of the Court !
Willi my confidence in the purity of the .man. un
shaken, I bow to tho decision which suspends the
Bishop I"
We presume, if the evidence before she Court
should ever see the light, it will be calculated to
arrest much of this torrent of censure an d denun.
e.ialion. The facts alledged to beset forth, will
suflifcieutly speak for “tho ohurucler and in la rest uf
the acts against him I These acts will in sill pint),
ability speak for themselves—concurring his own
disclaimers ol guilt,or his own professions of in
nocence of purpose. But really it is amusing
enough to notice one plea which has been iput in by
one uf the Bishops apologists in the Mirror of Fri
day last, viz: “that he is one Of those unc-onscious
und ubsent men who never know where the ir hands
are—like Dr. Jultuson, who ‘used a Indie’s finger
for a tobacco stopper.”’—(The anecdote, by the:
by, is attributed to .Sir Isaac Newton.)—:’.nd the:
apologists adds, with rnurked gravity : “Btl t, if so,
these accusing ladies knew it, and why wiu : expla
nation given 7" And this explanation was g ivett of
the alledged transgression oftlie Bishop,in lit rusting
his hand into a ladies’ bosoms ! A more nhse ot mnn
of course, titan even the eelebuted Menulu.ts was,
the creature of Addison’s imagination—or. ruther
of La Bruyere, from whom the English E rssayist
borrowed most of its lineaments.
Upon the whole, it does not appear .that the
storm is yet abated—and, in fact, that it is rising
higher every moment. From all appearunc es, the
Church is threatened with that schism, wh ich its
Litany so beautifully deprecates.
A Novel Case.—At tho last term of Craven
County Court, a caso of a novel character grow,
ing out of tite probate of tho will of a decenst id per
son lute of this country, came before the cou: rt.
Tho bill was offered for probato by Mr. A. and
ufter the same was admitted to probate, filr. B.
stated that ho wus instructed by the wid ow of
the testutor, to file her dissent to the same.
Mr. A. The widow instructed me also to file
her dissent for her, but her name is not site is;
named .
Mr. B.—(Consulting with his client.) L do not
profess to know her name, but as situ says ha r name
is as I have designated it, I shall file Iter dissent in
the name of .
Mr. A.—(Consulting with his clieHt.) The wid
ow persists in returning her name us I have called
it, and it would be best that tho dissent in the
name of .
At this stage of the proceedings much interest
und curiosity began to be manifested both by tho
Court and by.slanders, tho more especially us the
two counsel seemed so pertinacious in their adher.
encotothechristain names of the widow as each hud
assorted il to be. The counsel began to talk with
thosj who seemed to he a little knowing in the mat-
ter, and with u very quizzical air and manner, they
announced to ;he Court the great mystery of the
matter—that the testator hud died leaving two wid
ows !
This discovery instead of abating the interest of
the case seemed to increase it, for now came on the
tug of wur between the rival widows as to which of
them wns the rcul Simon Pure and entitled to ‘.lie
properly oftlie testator.
Mr. B.—(addressing Mr. A.) Where is the
widow for whom you appear 1

Alleged defalcation of the clerk.—Mr. Taylor

A message was rereived from tho Semite,
trough its Secretary, informing tlm House that
ley had passed the bill providing for the election ol
e lectors of President anil Vicu President of the
l JniledSlates, with nil amendment, and requesting
i lie concurrence oftlie House therein.
Mr. Duncan asked iliat the nmendinen's lie taken
up for action at this time ; but there were cnlls in
various portions of the Hall for the reading uf the
report.
The Speaker informed the gentleman that the
i House could nut now act upon the amendment of
I the Senate.
! Mr. Hopkins said that ho should object to tho
j transaction of any business until the report of thu
I Committee was acted m,.
After some suggestions as to wltnt order the bit-
| sinnss should tuke.
Mr. Taylor observed that the report wnsprepar
| cd and ready to be presented yesterday ; hut on
' tiie suggestion that everything would be properly
explained, tho Committee delayed making tite re
! port until this morning. Tite Committee, hnvev.
i er, received no information, either from the Clerk
! or from any other person, and therefore they asked
| to iuy the facts before the House.
The reading of tho report wus earnestly called
! for,and it was read ; from which il appeared that
! the attention oftlie Committee having been drawn
| to the condition of the contingent fund, they gave
I nonce to Mr. McNulty, the Clerk oftlie House, to
; account for its disbursement, and summoned him
to show the amount of mutiny on hand. Although
t wice notified, he refused to attend before the Com-
mittee. At the lime Mr. McNulty wns elected
Clerk, there was in the contingent fund $155,999,
$75,999 more was appropriated during the last
session, and $2999 received from tite late Clerk;
Mr. M. St. Clair Clarke, making in nil $232,009.
The Committee were informed, on application at
t Ito Patriotic Bank, that this amount had been drawn
and learned that tite deficiency of the Clerk is $44,-
599—$20,990 is secured by official bond, and for
the remaining $24,500 there is no security but the
individual responsibility oftlie Clerk. The Com.
mittee have also learned, that, since June last, E.
J. Woodward has received of this sum $3,000;
Levi D. Slnmm, of Now York, $2000, and a gen
tleman of Columbus, Ohio, $2850. If tins disposal
of the public moneys should nut be explained, it
would amnul to embezzlement, according to tho
law of 1841. To vindicate the character oftlie
House, and as a warning to others, the report re-
commends the adoption of these Resolutions. 1.
That Caleb J. M'Mully be dismissed from the of
fice of Clerk of this House. 2. That the Secretary
of the Treasury institute, forthwith, legal proceed
ings to secure the bnlance oftlie public money duo
by Caleb J. McNulty. 3. Tlmt the President of
the United States be requested to cause n criminal
prosecution to bo commenced against Caleb J.
McNulty for embezzlement of public moneys, and
all persons concerned, according to act of August
13,1841.
Mr. Weller sent a letter to the clerk’s table,
| which was read, from which it appeared that there
wus nearly $30,909 in the hands of n responsible
firm in the city of New York, to the credit of Mr
M‘Nully, and that the draft of this gentleman had
been honored ; and Mr. Weller staled that the
money in question was not actually luaned but nc.
lually deposited with that firm. He understood
the balunco oftlie alleged deficiency, amounting to
$40,500, will be accounted for, and that the money
wns on depusite in New York. He made the
statement to show that the Government would sus

Mr. Cnvo Johnson suggested that the Sergeant,
at*arms bring Caleb J. McNulty before the House.
[Cries of“Agreed, agreed.”]
Mr. Weller thought tliat this would be the pro.
per course. Mr “ ” '

. Mr apund&i submitted ^resolution requiring
tlm Sergint-nt-Arms to hold Mr. McNulty in cus
tody until the further order of the House, until he
shall have an opportunity to prepare an answer to
the charges.—However, he withdrew it.
The Speaker having informed the House thm
Mr. McNulty was now prepared to make his de.
fence. , . , ,
Mr. McNulty then explained in substance, that
lie Imd not himself used one dollur of thu public
funds, that he hud not loaned many individual one
dollar of il und had made tin disbursement but
what was warranted by law, lho reason why lie

(A letter was rend from Mr McNulty, written
several days ago, and addressed to thu Committee

House of representatives.
After the reading of the Journal, a large num
ber of gentleman arose in various parts «f tite
House, for thu purpose uf submitting resolutions,
bills, etc.
Mr. Burt made an ineffectual effort to introduce
a resolution iiisliucting tho Committee on theJudi.
ciury to inquire a bet her uny additional legislation
is necessary to insure tiie faithful disbursement of
the public monies, und to report a bill to enforce
the performance of this duty.
The alleged defalcation. —Mr. Taylor said that
the Committee uf Accounts was induced, from wluil
the Clerk said yesterday,to remain in session to duy
until after twelve o'clock. Mr. McNulty did not
present himself before the Committee; hut sent
his accounting clerk. The Cunimillee inquired of
him where the unexpended balance of the public
money wus—whether it was forthcoming, or wus
to lie paid to the proper authority to receive it—
whether il was in buidt, or in the bauds ofiudivid-
utils, &c. The accounting clerk replied that, Mr.
McMulty himself must answer that question.—
Mr. Taylor hud come into the House (between
twelve and one o’clock,) he had received a letter
from McNulty, informing him that lie had in the
Bank of America $29 009 to his credit. It did not
seem to him thul this materially changed the nature
of the case. By uu uct of 1815, tiie clerk was re-
qnired to deposite the money in one of the banks of
the Districts. Mr, McNulty, in pursuance of this
law, pluced some funds in the Patriotic Bank of this
city, and others elsewhere. It was bis opinion
that Mr. McNulty deserved the censure of the
House in some manner.
Mr. Davis, of Indiana, asked Mr. Tuylor wheth
er lie Imd the vouchers that tite amount slated in the
letter of Mr. McNulty was in the Bank of Amer.
ica, on deposite.
Mr. Taylor replied that all the information which
they had on tiie subject was contained in the letter
itself.

Tite first resolution reported by the Committee

Tite yeas and nays were taken, and tiie rcsolu.

The second resolution was adopted unanimously
viz :

directed to institute forthwith the necessary legal
proceedings to ascertain and secure the balance uf

The third resolution uf the Committee is ns bil

ineut, according to the provisions of the act of
Congress approved August 13, 1841.
After remarks by Messrs. Belser, Duncan, and
Hamlin, of Maine,
Mr. C. Johnson moved to amend the resolution,
that it might read “alleged embezzlement,” etc.
McNulty was in the citv, ai d un<l the previous question* which was sec-

Resolutions reported by the Committee, (lie repu- 1 ho amendment was rejected—oye 61 noos
epu-
lotion of lIto gentleman would be destroyed with,
out a hearing, if, on the cootrury. Mr. McNulty
could allow that his conduct was fair und honorable,
every member would be gratified.
Mr. Cave Jultuson then submitted his Resolution
that the Sergennt-nt-arms arrest Caleb J. McNulty
and bring him before the House.
Mr- Adams moved to amend it. that Mr. McNul
ty be summoned to appoar before the House.
A brief debate ensued as to the power of the
House to arrest tho Clerk ; after which Mr. Ad
ams’s amendment was rejected, and Mr. Johnson’s
resolution agreed to, and on motion of
Mr. Dromgoole, the Speaker was authorized to
to issue his warrent for the arrest of Mr- McNulty,
under the seal of the warrant of this House.
Mr. Duncan inquired wliul they would do witii
Mr. McNulty if he should he brought before the
House 1
Mr. Houston replied lliut they would punish him,
if they could ; if not, they would turn him over to
the Courts, or Constitutional authorities.
Election of Electors of President and Vice-
President.—The bill providing for the election of
electors of President and Vice President oftlie
United States, as it cante from the Senate amended,
was taken up.
Mr. Duncan having briefly explained lliut tho
amendment was merely verbal.
The amendment wns concurred in by lho House.
A resolution in relation to tho publication of the
maps,charts, etc., oftlie Exploring Expedition wus
adopted.
The clerk of the House—again.—The consider
ation of she resolutions recommended by the Coin
mittee of Accounts, for adoption, again cuine up,
the hour to which it was postponed having arriv
ed.
Some gentleman moved that Mr. McNulty be
brought before the bar of the House.
Mr. Weller saw no necessity for such hot itaale,
especially as Mr. McNulty hud not yet read the
charges preferred against him.
Mr. Dromgoole moved that Calub J. McNulty
be informed of the proceedings now about to be ta
ken agaiust him. and that he be permitted to make
his defence. The motion was agreed to.
Tho Sergeant et arms then came into the House

having taken Ins teal.
And the resolution wus adopted—yoas 179, nnys

A resolution was submitted by Mr. Hopkins,
and adopted, appointing B. B. French,
And tite House adjourned.
Bustles.—The “ American” man is something
of an antiquarian, and has instituted an inquiry in-
to the early history ul bustles. He thinks St. Paul
was blowing out agaiust them, when he told his
hearers to forgot or cast off “the tilings which
were behind them." Very like.
Passages front undent writers prove the cxis.
lence of bustles in the old classic times. Hear
wital ono of them says; as translated by Dry-
den:
“With bustles huge she girt herself about."
Here is a curious passage from Tacitus, who
wrote a great muny years ago.
“The ladies uf ruuk ure accustomed to wear
certuiu curious shaped uriicles of dress, called hus
tles, which are ornumeuted with fine embroidery
and needlework. The wile of a chief wears one
weighing three ounces. Tite weight of llmt worn
l)V the wife of the emperor is one pound two
ounces.”
A traveller lately dug up u bustle in Pompeii, in
a good slate of preservation. Hu thus describes
it:
“Its form is that of three cquiluternl triangles,
joined nl the base. Tho substance with which il
was stuffed puzzled visiters for tt time, but ut length
it was decided to bo rasped whalebone."
Thus prutes an old English pout:
“Ns was tliura in all ilia couuiry roun
So favre a inaidc, ue of ao high rtuiown ;
A bustle great shu wore uf velvet iiuxte,
Which eke witii tiuest silk waa broidored."
And here is a passage from ono uf the older dra
matists, and thus introduces the hustles us the las;
pledge of affection from a dying wife to her absent
husband:
“This bustle lako and to my huaband hoar,
And say that alia whom well he loved hath aeut
A token of her Imu ; and bid him think,
Thai the pulse of her who loved it ones
Did throb (or him."
Orestes Brownsen, the groat transcendentnlist
thus descants upon these articles, in thu following
clear and and lucid manner:
“Their superiority obviates to eternity, Tite
