Postponement —We are requested to state that, the Exhibition proposed to have been given last evening by the Beneficient Society, has been postponed till Monday evening next. We learn from the Georgia Journal, that the Central Bank is shortly to ge into operation. — That is, all the money in the Treasury of the State, and the bills of the Bank which are being engraved in Philadelphia, representing all the other available funds in the Treasury, are soon to be loaned out to individuals, at the discretion of Messrs. Camack, Jones and Boykin. Query— How much of this money will ever find its way back again into the Treasury? Avery pretty electioneering engine this Cen tral Bank will be, in the hands of expert politi cians. Upwards of $2,000,000 has been placed by the Legislature under the control of the Gov ernor, to bo loaned out to his friends: [mem, the governor will have a great many friends; he will be very popular;] and yet Mr. Gilmer is short-sight ed enough to be plotting to turn him out. ’But the editors of the Recorder imagine that the money will be loaned out, without any regard to political standing. Avery likely course to be adopted by such thorough-going politicians as those wliO have clmrgo of* the ii\otitatuin. From Marankam.—By a passenger in the Tri ton, which arrived at Baltimore in the short pas sage of 21 days from Maranham, the editors of the Patriot have been informed that Flour was selling at 9 to 11 milreis; prime beef at 10 milreie; and mackerel No 1, at 9to 11 milreis. -Three months ago, flour was up to 15 milreis. The political state of the Province was not very promising. The new governor at his induction into office, was received with many murmurs by a portion of the citizens, and the dissatisfaction, had not entirely subsided. His predecessor was recalled by Don Pedro, on account of being sus pocted to favor the views of Don Miguel. Ru mors were afloat as to the prospect of a wax with Portugal, but nothing definite was known con cerning it. Ladies’ Hair Rollers —The demand for these ar. tides in the city of New York, 1 has become so great that the venders find it impossible to keep a sufficient supply on hand. They work with a spring, and supersede the necessity of destroying files of newspapers. Spirited _—A society of young ladies, in Ohio, Lave resolved not to associate with young gentle men who are in the habit of drinking ardent liquors vcriodically , either at morning, noon or aight—or even on public days. Virginia has begun to taste die benefits of internal improvement; the completion of the Dismal Swamp Canal has opened a new channel of internal commerce, which promises to be highly productive to the stockholders in that work, and which has al ready induced most sanguine expectations of public advantage through that part of the state which it perforates. Seven Vessels ar rived at Norfolk on the Bth inst. from Beau fort, N. C. by way of this canal. The Vir ginia and North Carolina transportation company have established a line of boats to run on the canal, bearing the flour, to bacco, cotton, staves, bacon, corn &c which have been stored for want of a mar ket, or which would, but for this facility of transportation, nave been carried to a glut ted market to be sacrificed at an inferior price.— Nat. Jour . From the New Brunswick Times. Daring Outrage. —A person by the name of r. Lombard, a native of Gorham, Me has informed us by letter, of a most barbarous assault perpetrated on bis person, while on his way to Boston. The particu lars of this transaction are as follows; On Sunday morning, the 19th inst. Mr. Lombard was met near the burial grouud in Lawrenceville, N. J. by a suspicious look* ing character, armed with a club or cane ; who, on his tuning round, struck him a heavy blow on his head, which felled him senseless to the ground; and another on his left arm which nearly fractured it. The assailant then stripped him of his clothing i and pocket book containing some papers &, a small sum of money; and left him with nothing but his shirt. On recovering his 3ensos/Mr. L. wandered to a house on the >road, at which he knocked, and was refused admittance. Fearing that his appearance would subject him to a similar treatment at • other houses, he struck into the woods, and it ocing very cold and rahiy, came near per ishing in the storm Having gathered a quantity of oak leaves and dead branches of trees he formed a miserable cell in which he lay daring the night. The next morn ing, on arriving at Stoney Bridge, within two ‘miles of Princeton, Mr L. procured r writing materials, aud made known his sit uation to Charles L. Campbell, Esq. who, with a promptness and benevolence worthy the highest commendation, hastened to his relief, supplied him with clothing, and received him iuto his house, where he ex perienced the utmost kindness, and the hu ’ mane attendance of a physician. Surely the “Crood “Samaritan’* will not lose his re ward. Mr. L. states, that the perpetrator of this daring outrage, as near as he can recollect, was a large built man, about five feet eleven inches high; red whiskers and hair; wore a roundabout jacket, aud was very shabbily • dressed. • Spots on the Sun.- A great number of forenoon,'Stretching in an almost continuous line from one side of the disc to the other, and making a handsome appearance. With a powerful telescope, we should suppose that a*, least 200 spots might be distinguish ed.; they will of course soon disappear, on account .of the rotation of the sun. Dost, palladium. By the lint ship President , at Charleston. New York, April 30. Police Affairs.— On Wednesday morn ing last, about 12 o’clock, Charles E Tay lor, who is a private in the United States army, stationed at Bedlow’s Island, was ar rested in his progress as he was walking a long Broadway, who accused him of having on the previous night, robbed him of con siderable property. The soldier denied the charge, insisted upon not being detained, & I appealed to a gentleman who was looking on for protection. This person extended the same kind of protection as vultures give to lambs. He proclaimed himself no less a personage than the high constable of the ‘ city, and marched offbis: prisoner, as he sta ted, to be examined before rhe magistrates. The fellows who had row been joined by a third, proceeded to the city H ill, and ha ving arrived at one of the sub-mundane passages, endeavored there to induce the poor fellow to settle the case The sol dier, conscious of innocence, refused to comply, and the pretended officers threat ened him with immediate incarceration. — This did not intimidate him, and he quiet ly submitted to be removed to a depart ment of the police in the vicinity of the ru ins of the Lafayette Theatre ! The en deavor to procure a settlement of the case was again renewed, but without success ; &. he was locked up in a room, where he was confined the whole night The morning, ias it dawned, brought with its light all the terrors of a persecution he had endured, a greed to give the self-styled Hays and his •companions, a watch and S2O in exchange ’for liberty. After several apparent object ions to this plan, it was finally agreed to, and the prisoner was regularly handed a written discharge. He had not proceeded far, when he related the circumstance to a friend, was laughed at for being duped, aud shown the way to the real police office.— He there communicated his statement to the magistrates, who summoned every offi cer, and directed that all due vigilance i should be exercised for the discovery of ali the audacious villains. Maine Military Road. —Notice has been given by an Assistant Quarter Mas ter of the United States Army, at Bangor, inviting proposals for building ihe military road from the Forks of Matawamkeag river to Houlton plantation, on the New-Bruns wick frontier. The other division of the road, from Matauawcook river is to be ad vertised soon.—The road is to be formed thirty three feet in width, rocks, trees, tim ber ana underwood to be removed, the roots grubbed out, and the earth removed from the ditches by ploughing and scraping so that the centre of the road shall be from three tc four feet above the bottom of the ditches—side drains* and culverts are to be formed where-ever necessary, and the in clination of the road with horizon not to exceed in any part, four degrees The road to be completed by thc Ist of Novem ber next. FrcTn the N.Y. Daily Advertiser. The Paris Connstitutionnel of the 15th „ March, that fVlinisiiy have ai length i taken a step which determines the course , they are to pursue. In a Cabinet Council ! a few days before, as is asserted,four of them were resolutely opposed to making any con cession on the question relating to the Com munes, adhering to the principles of the bill on that subject, which is dictated by the friends of the congregation and the old re '.ginie. The council consisted of eight; and the other half were disposed to take the stib jeci under consideration, expressing an o pinion at the same time, that the amend ments proposed by the committee were at 1 once monarchical, and in conformity with the charter. These latter were the Minisv ters of Marine, Public Instruction, Com i merce and Ecclesiastical affairs. The Min isters of the Interior, Justice, War and Fi j nance, are said to have been those who op posed the concessions, which seem to be principally designed to admit to an influence in the elections persons possessing smaller estates than those who at present enjoy that privilege. “Thus,” remarks the Constitutinnel, “it has beep determined absolutely that nothing ! shall be yielded, and that the bill, so dear to the congregation and the contra-revolu tion, shall be sustained, as the only means of delivering France from those demagogi cal anarchists who dare to consider false hood as immoral, the incendiary missionist ; as not over religious, sinecures and burthens , as not enconomical,” Ac.. j 1° coming to this determination, the Mi nistry are considered as having disappoint ed all the the hopes of liberals, and there , fore as having no claim to the moderate and | conciliating measures heretofore pursued by the majority of the-chamber of Com ; munes, who are called upon by the Consti tutionnel, to renounce their concessions, and come out in decided oppositson. Judging from the resolution with which that cham ber has proceeded for several years, and ; the marked success which-has attended their ; exertions, it is to be expected that the pre sent session will give occasion to many warm discussions, and will probably issue •in something of importance. The feebie . pcss, indecision, and division of sentiment in the piesent Ministry, seem to promise them no adequate power of •resistance a gainst such an array. Even if able to op pose the liberals, it is not yet probable that they w ill be strong enough to conquer them in the chamber of Communes:; and the King may, perhaps, find it necessary again to in terfere, to insist on some concession, or to effect a compromise, as lias before been done. Sugar Trade of France.— The French paptis continue to treat this subject as if it still occupied a good deal of the public at tention, and as if there were reason to think an important change would bs soon made in relation to it. From various writers wo observe somewhat various, but interesting views of the subject. It is confidently stated by some, that the consumption of sugar in France, might eas ily he increased 40 millions of kilogrammes’ annually, beyond the present amount. — This would bring into operation about 200 vessels, comprehend a tonage of 20,000 tons, and would furnish employment for 3000 seamen. The advantageous improve ment .in the commerce of the Freach ports recently made, by which national vessels have been brought into active employment, has already saved the expense before paid to foreigners, for bringing the supplies of indigo—an article, consumed to an amount of 18 millions of francs, and it .is supposed that, but for the high price of freights, pro duced by the prohibitory duties on West In dia segars, the French vessels would be able to supply a considerable part of Eu rope with indigo. The vessels employed in the indigo trade are generally those of 400 or 500 tons, and being not able to bring more than 500 ce roons, worth 1,500 000 francs, -(which will not occupy more than the space of 109 tons) the remaining 300 or 400 tons in the vessel are almost useless. This space might be advantageously ocupied, if they were permitted to bring sugar. The present duties on foreign sugar, which amount, on an average, to 75 per cent, and sometimes to 100 or 120, in fa vor of the Colonists, are much higher than are necessary for them. If they were re duced to within 10 or 152 per cent, it is said there would be an active demand for their crops, and yet the requisite surplus would not be as now, excluded from a’ .road. London March 20. The following singular occurrences form a subject of general conversation at An twerp. In 1823, the Provident, a three masted vessel, sailed from that port for Ha vana—near the Colorado, she was captur ed by a piratical lugger, part of her ble cargo taken out, and the vessel burnt. The crew were treated most barbarously, the second mate twice suspended by his feet, two men were stabbed, and the captain’s son received several sabre cuts, of which he died—the remainder of the crew made their escape in the long boat. Mr. Muetenaer. who was first offi cer, and uow commander of the Dutch brig Jeannette, having lately passed 3 weeks at Cowes, to repair, while there, recognized in the person of the pirate, captain Aaron Smith, fan Englishman,j now master of the Br.-ship Louisa, which arrived on the Bth ull frou: Batavia for orders, and afterwards proceeded to Antwerp. Capt. M. wrote home immediately, and his .2d mate who had preceded the dLouisa, came to A. and identified the pirate, as did an old sefcmao of the Provident. An attempt was made to take him, but he made his escape out of a window—he was, however, soon after wards apprehended at (Brussels. This same Smith was tried in this city, about three years since, but escaped for want of suffi cient evidence. During the time Capt. M. was on board the lugger, she made several captures, one an English sloop, whose crew, eight in number were murdered. The storm thickens in Upper Canada, and every paper we receive from that colo ny brings proof that one party must yield soon, or something more or less, than a shew of respect for crown officers will be evident in the movement of the opposition. VV e find the following remarks in the York (U. C.) Advocate, upon the appointment of a member of the Legislature to an In spectorship of Licences. “ No man of common sense and ordina ry discernment can read the above bare faced attempt of Governor Colborne to c pt the House of Assembly, without being convinced that hev(ColborueJ lias at last thrown off even the appearance of con stitutional conduct, and is determined to subject the Canadians to that military go vernment to which Biitain and Ireland are fast approaching. If any man has a ser vant whom he festeems above all others for his faithful conduct, does he not prefer to place him in an office of power and trust ? What has been Sampson’s conduct in the last Assembly ?—Truculent, crouching, mean and servile in the exireme. He has his reward , and the representative of Eng land thereby tells other members—“ Go, do likewise—l will support you, if the people desert you, never Fear. * Farmers of Upper Canada, trust in yourselves ! and remember the manly virtues of your uncom promising virtuous ancestors. You will find Sir John Colborne, a second edition of Sir William Hamilton, of Pennsylvania, whose character Franklin has so well pour trayed for the benefit of posterity—You will find him a plausible, smooth, disciple of his countryman, CASTLEREAGH. With a Scotch. English and Romish priest hood, pensioned by England, a large reve nue at the control of government, the pro vince Bank in its service, and all places of honor, trust and profit at its disposal ; spies and informers feed out of secret service monies, hireling presses at work in every quarter of the colony, a magistracy at the nod of such a governor as I have truly de scribed, and the brood of lawyers who fat ten on our spoils daily increasing, we have great reason to boast of our ample share of British liberty and free institutions'” falling in love. “ Falling in Love !” Oli thou birth and death of bliss, thou Alpha and Omega of i human onjoyment, thou very quintescence I of contradiction—when and what art thou, that we always arrive at thee By a fall. “ Falling in Love t* v Reader, didst tbou never ponder upon the expression with all its deep signification. It is motion then— Love never comes to-us, motion downward too. Where is the dream of the poet and the matin creed of existence, which thrones the little god in the Heavens above and el evates his worshippers to the same glorious height J All evaporated, gentle reader-—all gone—sleeping with the thousand bright fancies that hover round the porch of being but leave us to tread its stony path alone. A fall! We must move very swift, for we often reach the bottom before aware ; that we have left the top. might j he added, but no—it is less strange, for some chips of humanity to go down than up. Ah ! unfortunate wight, born to be thwart* ed —crouching at the bottom of the golden wheel, never flatter thyself that no lower gulf gaps for thee ! prudence bows in impo tence, and calculation fails to ensure you against Falling in Love ! Falling ! why not walking, creeping, climbing—then one might look about a lit tle ; but a fall ! oh ye powers—who can tell the finis of a fall \ what bumps and scratches and battering and bruising—eter nal scars and cureless wounds, broken limbs, and bended head, to say nothing of mental damages. Heaven save us from Falling in Love. Year after year have we trod the paths of life with cautious steps and a palpitating heart, turning a deaf ear to the syren song, and a closed eye to the sparkling snare, till as a youngster malici ously observed the other day, we shall soon he so blind and deaf in reality as to be not worth catching. But alack ! is age a safe guard 1 look at the grey headed falling daily. Is wisdom ? see statesmen and sol diers— what tactics can apply, or what wis dom avoid, undefined, unlocated, only known by its effects. What confusion ! only imagine one of your your stargazing, eagle eyed sons of fire, stopped in his ca reer by this immeasurable, unmentionable ! abyss, vortex, whirlpool—this land and water trap. His Marseciipsed by Venus— air-castles vanishing—schemes frustrated— i thought uproar, and every beautiful theory of independence, playing Scyllaand Cha rybdis round—what pity ’tis this viewless point could not be made visible, and pity ’tis gentle reader, that people cannot walk in Love. Then alii this confusion might be avoided —no loggerheads cracking to gether in their descent. Sapphos no more driven to desperation, and Anton} 6 might retreat in time to save a crown. “ Falling in Love ! M Mademoiselle, they cay has facilities for remounting ; keep thy wisdom fair one, it ic more than equalled by thy lordly compeer. Nevertheless, read er, for our own especial case, we have a dreadful presentiment, that once fairly in we never could get out; perchance terror, and (he mighty mystery which en velopes the whole affair may magnify the danger—indeed we have at times had strong thoughts of courting the worst, plunging in overhead and <ears s and daring fate—but alas ! fate’s .frawn in the shape of Hove, is not to be trifled with, reader. Snares are yawning rouud us, thousands have gone, are going, and forever will go, down.— And should we once get in and then, in deed, be fairly unable to get out again.— Ah i Heaven save us from “ Falling in Love l”— New- York Courier . 1 March of hit died —“ A True Story’ ! A few days ago, as Mr. Earle was going round the wards at St. Hos pital, he was told that a person wished par j ticularly to see him ; and immediately af ter, a butcher of prodigious dimensions made his appearance, and accosting Mr. Earle, informed him that he had willed his j body for dissection to the -hospital, and that he was anxious that the circumstance should be known before band, that no im pediment might be thrown in the way of j his wishes being accomplished. Mr. Earle was evidently a little at a loss to know whether the communication iyas made in a jest or earnest, -and answered, I should think, Sir, you will be as large a bequest as ever was made to St. Bartholomew’s ; in truth, as fat a legacy as we have ever had.” Very like, very like,” replied the butcher, but I wish to do away the vulgar prejudice against cutting up people after they are dead and I hope the thing will be done.” Mr. Earle, seeing he was in so ber earnest, asked if he had a wife or friends, because they might not like it, and it was fair that their feelings should be consulted in so uncommon a display of his 4ove of science? To which our fat frend re plied, “ As for that, I’ve tackled the old woman, Sir ; I have left her, in my will, the choice of either my body or my money if she likes to keep me, look ye, the money comes to the hospital ; so there is little doubt which way it will go.” Mr. Earle then begged that, if convenient, he would die io the winter, as in a hot sum mer it might be difficult to do justice to so “ extensive a subject ; but that at all events, he should be made iuto a skeleton, and his name be honorably mentioned in the re cords of tiro Hospital With which as* sura nee the scientific butcher departed per* fectly satisfied. From th* N. Y. Journal of Commerce. COMMON PLEAS. before judge ittViNG.— - Gaming. Elbridge Foster vs, James Flanagan.— This was an action brought to recover the amount of a check for S3OO on the Chemi cal bank, drawn by the defendant, March 17, 1828, and endorsed by Divver, and also by Hurst and Wells. The defendant had forbidden payment at the bank* The first witness was Cyrus Barber, the notary who protested the check, and who was also the attorney for the plaintiff in this suit. In his cross examination he admit ted that Hurst and Wells first brought the check to him, but before it became due in troduced Foster to him as the owner of the same; and that the only copartnership ex isting between Hurst and Wells was their management of of a Ronlette Table at No. 2, Pell street. It was shown that the check was dated 70 days forward, & lent to J. F. Garner, who finally gave it to Divver to get it cashed for their mutual accommodation. Divver testified that he borrowed money -from Wells ; that he gave the check as se curity for the repayment of the loan, and that he borrowed the money for the pur pose of playing, and did play and loose the whole of it in the presence of Wells. This took place on a Sunday, and notwithstand ing his loss, the witness was afraid of making any noise; as there was a trap door in the room through which refractory persons had been previously thrust, and left in a cellar to repent at leisure, Ij .
