Vn record a curu ot" mere melancholy, and in
deed romantic, domestic affliction than one
which has lately occnred in the Isle of Man.-
A Miss Fell, a beautiful young lady, resident
on tlipt island, walked out to uniuso liernslf
on the cliffs ncur Douglass Head, from one of
which she fell, and wus precipitated trpon u
•helving rock at a considerable distance below.
She was much bruised by the full; the sen nl-
jnost surrounded her, atulthe pmt on which it
was bounded by 140 land was eo precipitous,
that esebpo way lip|Hissible. Here she re
mained for thirteen days and nights, thut she
could not have appeared larger than a bird,
land her voice quite exhausted by her repented
attempts to render herself audible. A small
well of spring water, which she fortunately
funnd upon the elill', afforded her’only nour
ishment. On the fourteenth day, however,
the waving of her haoilkcrcheif attracted the
notice of a boatman, who rowed towards Iter,
ami found her almost insensible, on her knees,
her hands clasped in the attitude of prayer,
«nd tier voice scarcely strong enough to dis-
olosc her residence. She was carried home,
where she found Iter wretched mother, worn
out by her brother’s illness and her own ab-
aeucc, and was only just in time to receive her
dying breath. The wretched young lady, a-
gmiized and exhausted, terminated her own
existence ia a lit of insanity.—London paper,

Correspondence of of die Charleston Courier.
Wasiiikotor, July 3.
1 Mr. Forsyth has taken Ilia place at the
Stoto Department, and as the minor goes, has
commenced with laying down new rule® of
business, for the purpose of preventing the
Clerks from having any unemployed mo
ments. The scries of official delays and diffi
culties through which every man who has
transactions with tho government, must pass,
are already sufficiently complicated for all the
objects of public security, and Mr. Amos Ken
dall, in n letter written before the election of
General Jacksnn, recommended simplification
and a diminution of the machinery. But Mr.
Forsyth has adopted views on the subject that
will render complication more complicated.
Mr. Wilkins still remnins with tis, and seepis
to have reconciled himself to the destiny which
awaits him. The arrangements of tno Cab
inet arc all snhl to have been made at the in
stance of Mr. Van Buren, and most certainly
if thfcy had not been so made, they are
strangely in promotion of his interest. Mr.
Forsyth, Mr, Woodbury, Mr. Dickerson, and
Mr. Butler, are decidedly, and in all circum
stances, ready to look to"him for instructions;
anil probably Mr. Cass may not lie'disposed,
to stand in a small minority,' nod Mr. Barry
may not prove ungrateful, as it is understood
that he will be sustained by the President and
his Cabinet, so long os their countenance can
avail him.
« You have seen by the papers at what
time the two Post Office Cotnmilteos propose
to assemble in this city. The Committee on,
Finahce, who have it in charge to investigate
the condition of the Banks, in which the Pub
lic Deposltcs are placed, were to meet in Phil
adelphia, to-day, for the- purpose of arranging
the time of their future meeting, and tlia plncp
where the examination will be mode. That
will probably be iri the end of September, or
early in October. Mr. Poindexter, the Chair
man of the Public Lands Committee, will re-
hmin in the city,- having taken a liouso herb,
that formerly occupied by Mr. Rush, and
built by him—it is probable, therefore,' tltat
the meetings of (his Coinivfitteo will be hold
from time to time, duritig tho whole of tho re
cess. This committee consists of Messrs.
Poindexter, Moore, Prentiss, M'Kcnti, and
Clay. It may indeed he difficult to collect n
(ltumiur during tho fait, nt Washington, but as
tlio main object is to send Commissioners to
lnk« testimony, this mny ho dono .by tho
Chairman, with tho acquiescence of the Com
mittee, without personal attendance in this city.
" There is a rumor that some expulsions
from offico are meditated, nnd it was said to
day, that a principal Clerk in tho Patent Of
fice had been removed, merely becanso his
politics are nut decidedly of tho administra
tion stamp. The gentleman referred to is
Mr. Alexander M’Intyre, the President of our
Common Council, a very rcspectnblo citizen,
and one whoso politics were never of nn ob
trusive character.' It is said that others in tho
same office arc menaced with the same fate,
I do not know the fact, but I merely give you
the current rumor. There is not n whisper
ns yet, of anv change in the Post Office De
partment. Tho Clerks in that end of the,
building, seem to feel themselves very secure.
But some changes nro spokon of in the Ex
ecutive buildings,. at the West end of tho

tcred upon the public'Treasury. This is the
heavenly union they mean—‘and the charac
ters of Forsyth, Woodbury, and Dickerson,
accommodating as they have shown them
selves in all things, to power, afford a very
reasonable hope of entire unity in whatsoever
the caprice of Jackson may ordain, or the
schemes of the Kitchen Cabinet suggest.

WILKES COUNTY.
The Washington Nows, of the 8d. instant,
gives the following cheerful intelligence :•
“ We understand that there is considerable
solicitude abroad, in relation to the result of
the election in this county. Wo can assure
our friends, that judging from the “ signs of
the times,” in our humble conception-, the
“ State Rights Ticket," to a man, will be car
ried triumphantly through tho polls. Wc
havo, ourselves, entertained but little doubt,
as to tho result for some time past, and tho
prospect, instead of being discouraging, bright
ens every dny, and increases every hour.—
If wo fail, there must be a great revulsion in
public feeling, and having the utmost confi
dence in the correctness of our principles, and
(he orthodoxy of our opinions, we anticipate a
continued change for the better, until complete
success crowns our efforts. Tho People on
ly desire light and information, and when
they are afforded, they will ever be true to
themselves, to their Country, to the Constitu
tion, and to their Liberties.—Nous verront."
Tho President nnd Fucirity of Harvard U-
niversity, have determined upon calling in
the aid of tho civil authority to quell the stu

very grave charge against President Quincy,
It sayw—“ The course of policy which they
havo adopted, should not wo think, any longer

to coniine tho benefits of tho first literary in

THE NEW CABINET.
Messrs. Forsyth, Womllmty, Dickerson,
Cuss, and Butler pn triposes the new Cabinet.
Thoy are said to lie u unit Cabinet—that is!
said tn.hnvo otic Spirit, into mitid, one soul.
How far this ir truer in respect to MtvCnss in
mntter of doubt; most probably it is notlruc
at all. Broad hints, therefore it ia-snid, hnve
been given him, but ho has riot yet taken
them, - uud his standing nnd reputation arc
so lair, that it in not thought expedient to turn
him out. Conscious of this, lie preserves Iris
independence of the Kitchen as well us Iris
place.
Hut iu what respect is thn Cabinet a unil

If so, wlmt arc its principles? Latitiidinnriun,
or limitarian ?—For Virginia doctrines nr
against them ? Wc feel to the full, flic ab
surdity of the question, yet we ask it because
a unit is asserted, anil to expose die imposition.

We learn that tho members of the Senior
Class at Cambridge were ordered to appear
before tho Faculty of the College on Monday
last, to answor certain questions in relation to
the statement published by them, Thoy riiet
the questions promptly, and confessed evory
tiling ns might bp expected from high-minded,
hnnornblo young men, conscious that they
had done nothing wrong. The Facuity tifter-
wnrds voted that they hud been guilty of u’
moral academical indiscretion, or something
to thut effect, and thus the matter wus wiped
up. Wo regret to learn that'lmrinony is not
entirely restored there. There w-hs inure
scraping at prayer* on Tuesday.
Since (lie above paragraph was written,
wo havo opened tho Transcript, in which wo
find the following statement. Most sincerely
do wo regret tlio dismissal of the Senior Class
at tills time. Wo arc apprehensive that Old
Harvard will not he uhlu to survive the blow
inflicted upon her by I’resident Quincy and
iris associates.
Harvard College. The present .Govern
ment of Harvard College appear determined,
if in llipir |iowcr, to ruin that ancient Institu
tion, by overy measure which is likely to ren
der it ns unpopular iu other States, ns it is
daily becoming at homo. Wc have just,
heard of a nmv act iiftjio wise men Who guide
the councils of our ulinu tnnler. They have
sent for the members of tlio senior class, six
at a lime, and asked them categorically,
whether they approved of tho circular issued,
in tho name of the whole cluss, ami all who
answered yes,, (uud they me till of liltYchlss

tyrannical measure never exercised it4‘ bnrie-
Itil infiuouce at Cambridge. It hits sealed
the decree, by which the institution is thrown
back leu. years,, mid has inflicted a wound
from which it will lie long, very long, ere

Hank—a purpose, which like all lus oilier no
tions, will hold so long and ns lunger, us it is
agreeable to tfis heir ami the Kitchen. It is a
prostitution of die won), to talk about Jack-
sou'* political' principles. It is ridiculous and
farcical.
Iu what then, is tlio Cabinet to be a unit ?
Are they like their Lord paramount, lobe of
upiuion that a “judicious” Tariff' is the thing
—that it is unlawful to appropriate nmucy to
blow up rocks iu James River, but lawful to
remove snags iu thcCumbcrinnd—that a short
mud is unconstitutional, but a long road ctm-
siitulionnl—that the Bank is unconstitutional,
a Bank devised by him, constitutional ? Is
the unity of the Cabinet to he squared by this
rule ? ' . ■. .'
That is not the meaning of die collar press
evidently. Thev look not at prinrijdes. They
mean unity in oilier matters—unity iii unlim
ited subserviency to Jackst n—unity in the
grand, the darling, the king-cherished pur/msc
of transmitting the sceptre to Van Buren,

There is Rule doubt, that die pormanencc
of our institutions and government, depends
oft the tone of morel feeling and. the purity of
moral character, among the people eh masse.
Moved by diis suggestion, the citizens of La
Grange manifested their reverence for the
memory of our brave and virtuous ancestors
and for the political sanctity of this, the
brightest day in tbs annals ol freedom, by an
effort to advance the sacred cause of Tcmper-
ann.
At ten o’clock A. M. the Church bell rolled
its sweetest echoes through our village and
gathered to the temple of worship a large and
intelligent audience. The reputed talents of
the orators appointed to address the meeting
roused the curiosity and expectation in the
minds of many—while others, inspired by
nobler aims, went thither to receivo additional
light and zeal in the Temperance cause. Af--
ter prayer by the Rev. Mr. Stanley the Ora

and nobly dill tlioy discharge (item.
J. S. Lewis Esq- first addressed the meet
ing; he briefly glanced at tho causes, which
hallowed the day and the glorious consequen
ces which have followed its “ deeds of noble
daring.” He then glided beautifully, into the
main topic of his address, by remarking
that tho greatest moral, as well as political
revolution, which adorned the history of the
world, originated in the United States; allu
ding to the revolution of 1770 and the insti
tution of Temperance Societies. He laid
down the broad but correct position, that all
general evils, liavc their origin in, dr, derive
a tremendous accession of strength from in
temperance; gave a vivid sketch of the influ
ence of this parent of all .vice, iu public and
domestic life, demonstrated clearly that pub
lic opinion ulone’ can rescue society from this
" crimson curse of the ago’”andcalled upon
patriots who love their country and upon
Christians who love their God to wake frdra
their indifference and join with one heart and
purpose to roll hack the fiery Hood, which is
sweeping with such fearful desolation through
the land. Mr. Lewis’ speech throughout was
pertinent, classical and eloquent.
Joseph S. Jones Esq. followed with a bril
liant and happy address. After an eloquent
exordium on patriotism, he presented in im
posing array the claims of .the Temperance
Society upon our citizens, triumphantly retai
led the most prominent objections to it,
sketched its origin, progress, mid prospects and
with a lofty and vehemont eloquence vindica
ted tlio superiority of its moral triumphs over
.the most renowned achievements which blaze
upon the annuls of Alexander, Cait nrorNapo-
leuri.
• He next Bhowed the influence of tho Tem
perance cause in the formation and establish
ment of national character; established the
position, that the aggregate virtue and intelli
gence of.u nation, is proportioned to the virtue
arid intelligence of each individual composing
it. nnd that, if the Temple of our liberties ever
fall, vice and immorality must first unsettle
its firm foundations. He drew a most startling
picture of the “ mouster”—startling, even to
liie most gloomy imagination. I regret that-I
cannot introduce it into this sketch, as I think
it decidedly .the most powerful I have ever
.heard. Mr. Jones concluded his remarks,
■by a. short address to tho members of tho
Temperance Society, characterized by mod
esty auil good sense, and an interesting ap
peal to the * ‘fair, in whom we see alt that wo

MR. QUINCY—PHRENOLOGY.
The proceedings attendant on tho late re
bellion at Harvard, show that phrenology is
in- no sinnl' repute among the faculty. One
poor southerner was evidently dismissed on
account of a previous impression produced,
upon the mind of tho President by " smoo
thing about the air” of tho student, that he
would not have much res| cot for the “Facul
ty." This remark made by Professor Quin
cy, xvns very well calculated to work its oWn
fulfilment. Wo suspect that Mr. Quincy has
not forgot the memorable day when he moved
tho impeachment of Mr. Jefferson, and hud
Ids own solitary vote iu favor of it. The ri-
dieuio east upon him by the Southerners m
tlint time, he is rcpnyiugin injustice to tho stu

on account of " something in their air.”—U.

From the Savannah Georgian-lOdf. inst.
Launch of Mr. G. B. Lamar’s Iron Steam
boat —Agreeably to notice given, yesterday
morning, at half past nine, Air.’ Lamar’s Iron
Steam Boat was launched from riiesdiipynnJ of
Mr. John Cant, and the first Iron Steam Boat
everbuiltin the U, States floated ontlic bosom
of the Savannah.' She glided into, flie water
with an easy and graceful motion, amid flic
cheers of a vast concourse of spectators who
had assembled to witness the -npvejly of an
Iron Boat. The plates were cast in England,
and imported last winter by Mr. Lamar, aud
they were put together under the superintend
ence of Mr. Cant. She is a beautiful model
of a boat, und sat as lightly on tlie water as a
duck. Her draught of wuter -will ho vory
light, and this is the grand desideratum. If
this boat succeed, and there is no reason why
she will not. the people of Georgia will be in
debted to the enterprize and the public' spirit
of Mr. Lamar for pointing out a new method
by which tlie many streams Which intorsoct
their State, which are now useless for ordina
ry steam navigation, xvill be converted into
navigable highways. The draught of water
of Iron lioats is so much less than that of the
wooden ones of the same dimensions, that
tliey will have a great advantage over them
during those months when the Rivers are
low.
Justus the boat touched the water, with all
due ccreiuouics, it was christened the John
Randolph.
A Kr.xs Retort.—Jeffrey the celebrated editor of
tlio Edinburgh Review, married no old maid "of N.
York; after lus return, in an abusive article upon diis
country, he said ainonjr mher thiu^s, that the Ameri
can Women were like pi-s—pretty only when young.
-Dennis of the Portfolio, retorted—that -itch being Mr.
I rtroy'r opinion, it was strange indeed that having
Una into the pen fora wife, ho should.havo aelectod
an old sow.
Notuino hns so peculiarly distinguished
the administration of the acting President of
the United States, as the numerous changes
that have taken place in the officers who hold
their appointments from iiis hands. Ini for- .
mer times when the good of the common <
country was looked to and regarded, every
man who held an important office, no matter
from whose hands he received it, was con-,
sitlered in some degree responsible to tho
people. His public acts were publicly inves
tigated, and 110 reckless and officious execu
tive dared to fling himself between' the justly
merited indignation of the country, and the
unworthy conduct of that country's unworthy
servant.’ - The touchstone of popular inteli-
genco was applied, the verdict of tlio nation
was pronounced, and no matter whether it
was in accordance with the capricious and ill
directed malice of a Chief Magistrate or not,
that verdict condemned or cleared the accused,
and the future cOurso of the Executive was
regulated- accordingly. We remember well -
when ono of Georgia’s distinguished sons, thca
acting a3 Secretary of the Treasury, was
threatened in so innny words with dismissal
from office, by a former President, for daring.
to oppose in their incipient stages, the abuses
and corruption's that.have now weli nigh .des
troyed tlio confederacy. In the hue and cry
then raised against nn honest man, not only ■
Mr. Monroe hut the wholo of his Cabinet
joinrd ; whilst the “Radical Chief/’ a name
of derision given to Mr. Crawford, stood sin
gle handed nnd alone, resting his public con-,
duct upon the good sense of his countrymen* .
and appealing" to posterity to do justice to his'
measures arid his'motives. IIo felt towards
the Presiflciit tho same accountability which
ho felt to others, and no niore; tlie President .
e.-ierciscd'oecr him just, so m.ucii of malignant
power as’an almo9tuubouuded}iopidarity had
given'hirp ; .hut whilst 113 a man lie hated
the principles and dreaded the purity of his
Secretary, as. Chief Magistrate, lie dared -not
dismiss that Secretary and meet the rebuke of
an injured and insulted country. . Mr. Craw-: '
lord pursued on his own course, tnainluincil
the purity of liis own political principles, con- ■
ducted (lie financial operations of the conn-,
try without reference to the opinions of Mr,. -
Monroe, flung himself lqr justification or con
demnation upon the Representatives of the
people, stood jinsitjgcd the bioze of tlie fur
nace; met unmoved the wrath of power and
tlie -unholy combinations of pimps and par
asites that basked in tite beams of thut poiypr,
and then, as now, fattened on the spoils of a
republican government, Thcqticsfion is, why
was he not dismissed 1 why did not the edict?-
of cxccntive wrath send him hack to the pri
vacy of Woodlawn, aud brand his.great namo
with eternal infamy there ?’ The answer is
easy. The President knew that the pcoplo
of tills country would not stand n condemna
tion without a trial; ho know the head of tho
Treasury had been tried, and not (bund wan
ting, and lie Knew although he^ was popular, "
that one imprudent act marked, with injnstico
would send his own" name dishonored to pos
terity. An honest man, an upright, faithful
and fearless officer had nothing then to dread,
cilhcr.from tlio master of ceremonies or tlie
minions that waited in the anti-chamber of
patronage. , •. . •
There nro few men wo presume so runob-
servanl of passing events us not to have seen
the difference between that' day ant] this.-—
The Chief Magistrate then was the steadfast
sun around which revolved-ihc stars-of lesser
magnitude. lie is- now the mhit olid fiery
comet sweeping away every tiling before him
and leaving the track of Ills infurioted flight,
covered with the skeletons of good men’s name*
und dark from the extinction of lights even
more rcsplendant than liis own. The friend
of lus country who lias been hold enough 10
be independent, has been called tohigli places-
in order to make his humiliation tho more, com-t-
plctc. Tho patriot, anxious -to promote his.
country's welfare, lias been persuaded from,
tite happy scenes of domesticTdo, ttr mingle
fur 0 lime in tlio mad strife, and then sent
back again loaded with Executive curses, and.
pursued to liis once happy home by the voice
of slander; breathed through flic government,
organa at Washington, and belched from bo-
somshase enough n, l/ e tlie plyant tools of ’•
power. Whohuvecomcforthiuthcirplaccsl ■
Who have been called on to fill tlie station*
thus made vacant ? Tho veriest sycophants
that ever lived ; tho time serving many who ’
rise upon tho . troubled waters urouud them,
and swim only where the stream is too impure
for honest men to live in. These remarks are
nor made without reflection. No officer of the
government has been allowed to differ with
tile Executive without feeling the full weight
o*f his hot displeasure* No servile slave lias
sung hallelujahs to the Mighty Chief, without
his appropriate rewurj- These tilings argue
