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 .

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.

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

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

being convinced that hev(ColborueJ lias at

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,

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*

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 .
