XVEDS'ESDAY MOfiJYI-VG, MARC If 4, \n I 4 ( J.
the inauguration.
The inauguration of General Andrew Jackson,
a3 President of the United States, takes place this
day By pursuing a national course, by calling
around him the talents of the country, without
respect to parties, and by declaring himself the
head of the nation, and not the leader of a part
Gen. Jackson has it in his power to place himself
in a most enviable point of view, not only before
his country, but before the World. That he may
adopt this course, must be the sincere wish of his
best friends, and of *vcry one who prays for the
perpetuity of our institutions, and the stability of
our government A course like this, wo
would sccuro him lire hearty support of all that
portion of the friends of tue late administration
who supported Mr. Adams from a desire to suo
servo the interests of their country, and not from
motives of personal advantage. On the
a system of measures dictated by party feeling,
cannot fail to distract the country, ami increase
1 hose dissolutions by which the glory of the nation
has so often been tankshed.
THE CABINET.
“ The seals of office glitter in their eyes”
Public rumor has made up a Cabinet for Gener
al Jackson; and, notwithstanding public rumor is
so often a public liar, yet, in this case, wo aro dis
posed to believe the report correct. It is compos
ed of the following materials:
Mr. Van Buren, of N. Yo?k, Secretary of State.
Mr. Ingham, of Pennsylvania, “of the Treasury .
Mr. Eaton, of Tennessee, “ of IVar .
Mr. Branch, of N. Carolina, “of the Xary.
Mr. Berrien, of Georgia, Attorney General.
There are two points about this arrangement,
which strike us very forcibly; the first is, it is a
strong Tariff Cabinet, and is indicative of the
course which the next administration will pursue
in regard to the protection of American industry.
Second, it is decidedly a Van Buren cabinet, com
posed of the friends and partizans of that gentle
nan, to the exclusion of those of Mr. Calhoun. —
We env, therefore, (if the report of this arrange
ment should be confirmed,) look upon Mr. \ an
Buren, not only as in the “line of safe precedents,”
but as having fortified himself in his post, by hav
ing placed around him, in the Cabinet, individuals
whose services may be on. But what is to
become of Mr. Calhoun? Is he, who sacrificed not
only his old friends, but his old principles, for the
success of his party, now to be thrust aside, for a
more powerful irval? What will South Carolina
say to this? Will McDuffie change colors too, or
will he make another whiskey speech?
THE LEVEE.
It is presumed by some of our political wisea
cres, that Gen. Jackson will abolish this ridiculous
ceremony. Indeed, we, ourselves, repose so
much confidence in his primitive republicanism*
that we think he will do so. The peculiar genius
of our government is at war with such ostentation*
It will do well enough for the meridian of St-
James and St. Petersburg, or probably it would
not be considered impolitic even at Verseilles. —
But in this right-down-business-doing Republic
of ours, such political foppery is a mockery of our
boasted patriotism.
If our “still, small voice” should not be offen
sive to General Jackson, we would say to him,
{ ’ Abolish this gew-gaw custom of royalty, and on
ly give audience when business requires it. Do
not be ambiticus of the character ot a political fig
urante. Consider yourself as the Agent of a Peo
ple who have put an important trust into your
hands, to be returned to them with interest, when,
ever required. Close your doors upon all ex
cept in the way of private hospitality—and let
your Administration be an Administration of “All
Work By pursuing this course of policy you
will leave your government, not as a public de
faulter —nor as one who has foolishly wasted his
substance to support the pageantry of office but
as a general benefactor, a wise statesman, and an
exemplary patriot.”
The Polar Expedition.—A terrible storm was
lately conjured up against Mr. Adams adminis
tration in fitting out the exploring expedition to
the South Pole. By the nice calculations of some
of our shrewd politicians, the expenses actually
incurred were made out “to amount to some mil
lions. The Peacock was rebuilt, manned and fit
ted out, and the expenses charged to the expedi
tion; she was provisioned for several years, and
the expenses charged to the expedition; the whole
expenses of rebuilding the vessel, and keeping
her afloat, icere charged to the expedition. And
the Senate, with a laudable zeal for the public
• good, called upon the Secretary of the Navy to
enquire by tchut authority he had incurred these
vast expenses.
By the reply of the Secretary, we arc informed
-that the repairs of the Peacock were ordered by
an Act of Congress, without any reference at all
to the expedition; that she was repaired and fitted
for sea under the general appropriation for the
support of the Navy; and that she would have
been thus repaired and equipped, had the explor
ing expedition never been thought of; and that
the onlv expenditure made with a sole view’ to the
Polar expedition, has been in making a temporary
spar deck, for the additional comfort of the men,
which cost less than two thousand dollars! So
much for radical statements, which have been
trumpeted through the country by certain Editors ?
for the purpose of producing political effect.
Hear then! hear them!—A letter from Wash
ington, received at Baltimore, says “1 here are al
ready strong symptoms of rebellion against the
new- Cabinet arrangement of the General, and a
‘ judicious revision” is called for.
The Catholic Question.— On this subject we
make an extract from Bell’s Weekly Messenger.
It is a literal translation of what the Duke of W el
lington meant by “ burying for a time ” tho Cath
olic question “in oblivion.”
We may thunder our anathemas against the
Algerine for chaining his captive to the oar, and
against the Sublime Porte, because it orders the
bastinado of a few refractory Greeks, and offends
our classical recollections of what Greece once
teas! But, in the ears of a modern Theological
Sentimentalist, it would sound worse than heresy
should you say, that Ireland ought not to he op
pressed —or that she has a right to the free exer
cise of her CONSCIENCE! But let us hea
Mister Bell, who is not only syllogistic , but aufai,
in those mattcis:—■
‘lt is with great gratification we lea- ,
that the British Cabinet have called U
Marquis of Anglesea from his Lord Lieu
tenant yof Ireland. This spirited decisio
speaks volumes upon die Catholic Ques
tion, and shows that Government ai*e de
termined to adopt those vigorous measures
which the peace and tranquility of Ireland
requires, and not to surrender up our Pro
testant ascendancy to its bigotted and sworn
enemies. ” /
What an amiable spirit of toleration is here
displayed!—Now, were we as Americans, selfishly
disposed, and desirous of seeing the Sceptre of
‘Europe depart from the House of Hanover , we
would sav to the IVth George—“ Grind and op
press the Catholics; but never think of the Rock
upon which the Pilgrims landed/’
“The Lion and the Unicorn were fighting for
the CROWN,
When up jump’d Stephenson and knock’d
them both down ”
From our foreign extracts it would appear that
the FAopc of Stephenson has created as much
sensation in London, as did the return of Bona
parte from Elba, on a former, but less interesting
occasion. Only imagine for a moment the sub
limity of the scene—a Committee of all the Bank
ers, fretting and fuming—the Admiralty in an up
roar, devising ways and means to catch him—and
the whole extent of the British Coast, encompas
sed with the “wooden walls” of old England, grin
ning horrible defiance at a runaway Merchant^
But to be serious—we have reason for believing
that Stephenson has reached our shores with his
ill gotten wealth. It is much to be regretted that
there does not exist some conventional arrange
ment between the two countries, which would be
effectual in punishing such embezzlers as this
man is represented to be. In the ethics of Trade
a breach of trust is scanned with too much indul
gence. For ourselves we look upon the Highway
man who puts a pistol to your head, as the most
honorable fellow of the two. In the one case,
the exercise of common prudence would prepare
you for the emergency. In the other, you have
no safe-guard to your rights, against that cool
calculating system of villainy, which makes the
law itself subservient to its machinations, and
destroys all sense of moral obligation.
Baltimore. Feb. 23.
The Mails. —The public feel sensibly
the occasional failure of a Mail, but they
are often not aware of the extreme difficul
ties, and exposure encountered by those
who -ire employed in transporting it through
the night , in such weather as this, wneu
people have difficulty in keeping themselv
es was m under four blankets and a feather
bed.
If human energy and exertion could have
avoid -i a failure between Philadelphia and
New York, it would have been done by
that spiiited contractor, Mr. Reesides.—
To some ilea of the intensity of the
cold and the unyielding perseverance of
his drivers, it is only necessary to mention
the melancholy fact, that one of them per
sisted in pushing on through the swow storm
of Friday night, until he froze and died
upon the box!
As yet there has been no failure between
Philadelphia and Baltimore, hut sever*!
persons employed by Messrs. Stockton &,
Stokes, have been severely frost-bitten—
and amongst them we are sorry to learn
that their spirited agent Mr. Purdy, at the
Susquehanna, by whose exertions so many
failures have been saved, has suffered most
severely and may feel the effects for life.
He was from S r. m. until 4 a. m , on the
river, to prev nt the failure of the mail ,
going hence to Philadelphia. It is fortu
nate for the public, that the Post* Master-
General, with his knowledge of his men
and thoir means should have, through such
important points, the energy of Messrs.
Reesides, Stockton & Stokes.
ThcSnowStorm —liich we experienced
here last week, was also felt with increased
violence east of us. The Philadelphia U.
States Gazette, of Saturday, says;—“We
had no means of ascertaining the depth ot
snow whifli fell—hut suppose it must have
been between 16 and 18 inches. Lands
men, however, know nothing of the terrors
of the storm—the poor souls who are ap
preaching our coasts, can best appreciate
its horrors. ’
From the NewYork Commercial, of Friday Even
ing, we copy tiie following:

our readers arc all sensible people, we have

Hones. —It will no doubt be recollected
by our readers, that Professor Olmsted
mentioned in his Geological Reports ol this
•State, that a Slate, which he termed the
Novaculite, is found in the greatest abun- j
dance in various parts of the Slate forma
lion, in Orange, Chatham, Randolph, and ,
other counties. The Southern Review’ fa ;
well conducted work recently established j
in Charleston) in an able Review of these !
Reports, corroborates the fact of the supe
rior excellence of these Hones, by slating,
that an old friend of the Reviewers, an
Engraver, who has for maoy years been
engaged in the use of tools, and who is par- ;
ticularly exact and careful of his instru
ments, has often assured them, that the
very best Hone he ever used or saw, came
from this Stale, and was given to him by a
stranger passing through Charleston. Yet’
so little has the attention of our Southrons
been directed to such subjects, it was never j
in his power to learn where his Hone had <
been quarried, nor in what direction he
could apply for information. Whilst Char
leston has been supplied with coarse and
inferior Hones from Canada, New York,
Vermont and Connecticut, the very exis
tence of these Quarries in uur State, was,
until the publication of Mr. Olmsted’s fte
poxts, considered problematical, and it has
never yet been possible to obtain in the
city of Charleston, a fragment of this Slate
for a Mineralogical Specimen ! We have
no doubt it would prove a profitable busi
ness to any one who would undertake to
prepare these valuable Hynes for market.:

Culture of Silk —*‘r. Martindate hasj
reported in the House of Representatives a !
hill to grant the public land at Greenbush
in New York, to Jacob B. Clarke, to aid
him in rearing the Mulberry tree, prepara- ;
• >ry to the culture of Silk. It appears!
f'‘*m the review taken in this report of the;
tr <de in bread stuff's, the exports of this ar*
icle have fallen off nearly fifteen millions
once 1817, when they amounted to S2O,
347,000, whereas in 1827, they amounted
53,803,230. The cause ot this is, of
. nurse, the loss of a market, as our numbers
>:ive probably been increased by three
millions in the same period. Had the for
eign demand continued our exportation of
bro and sniffs would pfobably have amounted
to $26,000,000. The only remedy for this
says the author of the report, is to diversify
the pursuits of the farmer, and substitute
domestic productions for foreign supplies.
It appears that in the last seven years, the •
aggregate amount of silks imported into the
United States, was upwards of $50,000,000,
of which were rr exported not more than
12,893,858, leaving for the home market
$37,262,798, being an average annual con
sumption of silk to the amount of 5,323,
244. But this is only the amount at in
* .
voice prices. The actual amount used by
the consumer in that period, at the prices
he pa js, was 62,880,819, being an average
-rinmirtl value <l To purchase
these silks would require $982,974 bushels
of wheat, at $1 per bushel. Tho value of
the single article of raw silk would he anu
afiy, it is presumed about $4,498,487? the
subsistence ot the manufacturers about $2,
245,743; the total, namely, 9,737,230,
would constitute the annual value of this
market to the agriculture of the U. States.
Here continues the report, is a domestic
market for silk, of nearly double the value
of all the foreign markets for our bread
stuffs. One acre of full mulberry trees
would produce S2OO worth of silk; but it
would leqwire ten aeres of first rate land to
produce the same value of wheat. Nei
ther is there any comparison in the quan
tity and qu dity of the labour required; the
most robust labour being necessary for the
one while women and children are put to
the business of producing the other. The
capacity of the country for the growth of
silk cannot be doubted, says Mr. M. the
suitableness of the soil and, climate is indis
utible. It has been cultivated in Virgin
ia and Georgia and was abandoned only on
-‘ccount of the supeiior profitableness of
tobacco and cotton. In Connecticut five
small towns produced in one season nearly
two tons 6c a hall of raw silk, valued at the
low price of $21,188. In the town of
Mansfield, wi’b a population of 2,500 souls,
there was produced 2,440 lbs. Thi* silk is
converted into beautiful sewingsilk and'other
valuable manuf ctures. The mulberry tree
may be cultivated in every part of the
Union, as it flourishes as high as the lati
tude ot 45°. Iu the southern country it is
indigenous. It ;s an ornamental tree iri
inslge, and injures less than the apple tree
tiie productive powers of the soil. The
white? mulberry is the best species; but as
experience only can decide which of the
other kinds will answer, it is recommended ,
by the report to grant the prayer of the pe- j
titiouer, who parposes to make experiments. .

LATE FROM ENGLAND.
By the packet ship Birmingham, Capt.
Harris, from Liverpool, the Editors of the
New York Commercial Advertiser have
received copious files of London papers to
the 7th of January, and Liverpool of the
Bth, both inclusive.
THE CATHOLIC QUESTIO V.
YVe have already published the letter of
i;je Duke of Wellington to the Roman Ca -
tholic Primate of Ireland, which went to
show very distinctly, that all the rumors of
an intention on the part of the Premier to
concede the Catholic claims at the ap
proaching session of Parliament were
without foundation. The reply of Dr.
Curtis, to that letter, explaining the rea
sons for his having made the Duke’s letter
public, will be found below. It appears
irom this letter, that the Duke’s suggestion,
as to the Catholics Icing fur a time quiet,
and leaving their cause to time, will not he
attended to by the Catholics.
fore,’* says the Morning Herald, think
that* Catholic Emancipation will not, at
least for the present, be entertained by
England. The great mass of the people
of England have a horror of Catholicism,
for they are afraid that if the Catholic
Barristers were admitted into parliament
and power, the time would not be far off
when the Catholic Clergy would be for
(bursting themselves into tithes cf some
description; or. < hat . <*iey would be f ‘ ,r
sharing the present tithes with the church
of England. Now, it is well known that
all Catholics are under the dominion of the
Priests, and the probability is, that, if the
Barristers succeed in getting into place and
power, the Priests would not be long after
them; and if, in the attempt to share the
tithes, or to institute further tithes, tho Ca
tholic Barristers, when in power, did not
second the Priests, why then the latter, in
all probability, would threaten to excom
municate the Barristers, which would bring
them to, if any thing would. The church
of .England, before the Catholics are ad
mitted to power, should take good security
from the Catholic church that it would not
interfere with our church as to the tithes;
for, if no such security were given by one
church to the other, we should, in the long
run, have the two churches at open war
about the pounds shillings and pence; all
which would be “part and parcel ol Anti
Christ. ’ ”
No little excitement had been caused by
the appearance of a letter from the Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland (the inarquis of Au
gleseaj to Dr. Curtis strongly favoring
the cause of Catholic emancipation. This
letter, which will also be found below, first
appeared in the Dublin Morning Register,
with the following prefatory remarks:
‘ We call the attention of this country to
one of the most important documents which
has ever been publistied, in relation to the
great subject which, beyond any other,
involves the interests, and agitates the pas
sions of the Irish people. Tne letter of
the Duke of Wellington has been followed
by a commentary upon the views and sen
timents which are expressed in it, which is
equally remarkable. The lord lieutenant
of Ireland stands forward as the annonator
upon the compositions of the prime minis
ter. Lord Angh sea has also addressed a
letter to Dr. Curtis The head of the
Roman Catholic hierarchy lias thus been
selected as a medium of communication
with the empire by the chief minister, and
the representative of the Sovereign Tho
marquis of Anglesea has, by this solemn
expression of his opinion conferred an obli
gation upon Ireland. The spirit of politi
cal wisdom which pervades “’hat may be
regarded as an instruction to the govern
ment, and an injection to the nation is
combined with a generosity of feeling, and
a chivalrous devotion to the interests of the
country which give him a lasting title to
the affections of the Irish people. Whe
ther he shall long abide amongst us, or shall
speedih depart from Ireland, let him be
assured that he has won the hearts of seven
millions of its inhabitants.*
The marquis, who, during his short ad
ministration of affairs in Ireland, has ren
dered himself very popular with the Catho
lics, has been recalled from his Vice Roy
alty, by the “Military Chieftain” of Eng-1
land. Sme of the papers announced that
the marquis resigned the office, though evi
dently from necessity, in consequence of
the wide difference between the opinions
of himself and the Premier upon this great
question. But the Courier states distinctly
and with an air of authority, that he was
recalled; and adds that this recall was not
in consequence of his letter to Dr. Curtis,
since the letter of recall was placed in his
hands eighteen hours before that letter
had nanspired. The Courier adds, that
“the Catholic question would not have been
advanced by the marquis of Anglesea’s
continuance in Ireland, nor will it he im-,
paired or retarded, by his recall. ‘lt is the .
Legislature,* as the marquis hath truly said,!
‘that must decide this great question. ” It j
is slated that either the Duke ot Bucking--
ham, or Lord Verulam, would be his sue-,
cessor.
The Revenue. — The Courier of the
6th, congratulates his readers upon the
flourishing state of the country, as disclosed
by the returns of the last quarter’s revenue.
The total increase of revenue, beyond the
corresponding quarter of the last year, is
£686,000. The total amount of the reve
nue for the year ending sth January, 1828,
was £46,644,675; and for the year ending
sth January, 1829, £48,305,322. These
results the Courier considers as aftording
the most convincing proof of the increasing
internal prosperity of the country.
It is said that the Irish levenue state
ment when it appears, will show an increase
of £400,000 for this year beyond last year.
A long time since it was said that the reve
nue of Ireland was rapidly on the increase,
and that it would go on increasing.
Flight of Stephenson —The London
papers continued to be filled with flying
rumors about Rowland Stevenson, and
speculations as to the probability of his
being caught. YVe detailed on receiving
our papers by the last arrival, the particu
lars then known, up to the time of his
flight on Saturday morning. By two o’clock
on Saturday afternoon, the committee of
bankers had sent off expresses to every part
of England, and the Admirably had also
sent communications by telegraph and
express, without delay; so that on Sunday
evening the news of his flight was kuown
along the line of. the British roast.
Yet it appears that Stephenson had the
hardihood to travel to Bristol in his wn
coach with his own crest upon it. He
sent back his two fiue grey horses to Lon
don, and travelled on with hired horses, in
company with his own coachman, and
Lloyd his clerk. On arriving at the Bris
tol coast, he put to sea in a kiud of skiff,
between Bideford and the Isle of Lundy,
in the Bristol channel, and had been sailing
eff the coast night and day, waiting f
vessel foreign bound. The C ml?’
which arrived ot New Yo;k nn : 1,1 \
day when the last French arrival

well searched before she left Purism ‘ 1
by a solicitor who went in quest* a
fraudulent bankrupt, and who knew s *
phrnson well.’ As by tho directions 0 f l\’

Mr. P eel. had declared that the whole

is only a light house, and one farm house

reaching it on the succeeding dav. It
also possible that the fugitives had lander]
in Wales. There was a rumor in the city
on the6ih, that he had been arresled in tl.o
Bristol channel; but it was contradicted
on the next day The Morning Ilerald
says:
“It is said that Stephenson's private
account at the bank has been overlrawu
for years to the amount of £30,000 This
circumstance occasioned everlasting quar.
rels between him and his partners. Itj s
added, that they were daily and hourly
annoyed at the bank with the applications
of his ptivale creditors. There can ha
little doubt that most of the properly which
he has stolen has been long ago spent ft
is said, indeed, that he kept six women,
that he had three country houses, tint ha
had private boxes at all the theatres, and
that he generally spent three parts of the
night at gambling houses. These accounts
are probably exaggerated It appears that
he was not at all nico in his means of rais
ing money. We are informed that begot
his builder or carpen er to accept hills to
the amount of £l2O OOO.”
Affidavits were sent to the Corinth!m,
in order to enable the British Consul at rhis
port to secure the fugitive in case of his
escape to this country. The following
is the advertisement in the Liverpool
papers:
One thousand pounds Reward . —'hero*

b,inking house of Messrs. Remington, Ste
phenson & co. of Lombard street, bankets,
stands charged with embezzlement % and lias
absconded; whoever will apprehend, and
lodge in safe custody, the above named
Rowland Stephenson, shall receive jhe
above reward, on application to Mr. Gates,
56 Lombard street. The said Rowland
Stephenson is above 50 years of age; five
feet seven inches high; has gray hair, light
colored eyes, square features, a light
brownish complexion, with some colour,
small stragling whiskers, and ins figure,
although not stout, is square for his height.
Usually wore a black coat and waistcoat,
drab kerseymere breeches, and top boots.
He is supposed to have left his residence
at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital on the mor
ning of Saturday, the 27ih instant, in a
dark coloured chariot, drawn by two light
coloured gray horses —London, December
31.
It seems doubted whether he had much
monev in his possession. There were ru
mors that he had previously made large
remittances in gold to this country. The
Morning Herald understand
that several actors and artists, peisonal
friends of Stephenson,are among the suffer*
ers. Miss Stephens, we are exceedingly
sorry to hear, will lose a considerable sum
of money by the failure. ’
The greatest sympathy was felt for Mr.
Remington, who is in his 82d year, and has
been all his life distinguished for his indus
try and honor. Ho was never absent from
his desk, from nine in the morning until the
