who will ever, in *pite of hard times, stand up

party, permit me to tell you, that yon tire bar

hout even. Sim, this Will not do for me. I
must have a majority in the Legislature. We
have got it here, and I suv we shall he foots, if
we consent to any plan whatever, which will
i’ ’t permanently retain it. My friend Stark is
an honest man, and in the honesty of his heart,
has made an honest calculation, but he has
over-reached linns* If he is over-mulched.

perilous for boats ol light draught to run along

to the Columbia, which, however, came to an
chor. and sent Iter boat tor the Cuba’s passen

to port last evening, unable to render anv as
sisiance to the sufferers. The Columbia rame
in tlu* morning w ith the Cuba’s passengers,
most of whom were without th;or bug ;a >•,
owing to the almost impossibility of taking it
into the small boats in so heavy a sea. About
one hundred passengers were probably on
board, but the passenger list is lost.
The boat it is said, w ill be a total wreck ;
but the cargo, which is reported to be of great
value, may possibly tie sa\ ed for the most part,
though considerably damaged. Nearly every
suitable boat has been put mto requisiton, and

been r* reived the particulars of the surren
der of Tampico to the Government army

1 a itrotig force in the town at the time, which
wa* well fortified, and strong hop * were
entertained that the garrison would stand
a siege. We have seen private letter,
whicli state* that the soldiers were very
much dissatisfied with the article* oT cap
itulation. After the trfaty had been signed
by the officers, they remained under arm
twenty four hours, refusing to accede to the
convention—threatening d* uihlo the Cen
tralist* if they dared to enter tlie* city,
and menacing vcngeiice upon the officer*
j and citizens, for having betrayed them into
i the hailtl* of the enemy. For avv hRe fears
j were felt lest the city would be given up to
i pillage by the exasperated sohliary. But
I bjfsome means or other, they were nl length
pacified, and the capitulation of the place
wn* qutpily conducted. No violence was
offered by General Arista or the Ci iitral
troops to llm inhabitants—private pr#pcrty
was respected, and the utmost good order
and tranquility prevailed. Ti;c terms of the
treaty were certainly vewy advantageous to
the Federalists, All political oflietjees were
to be pardoned, and the officer* #nd sol
diers whos-ltoose, were permitted to retain
their station and rank in the army. Even
the urot rebel, Urren was included in the
amnesty, provided he determined to accept
of the t* iAiis. At the lijne of the oggurrencc,

j most to insanity. The Countess erf Urgclscnt
i to the meeting a diadem, worth two thousand

| wretched buffoon. The Count of Tltoulouse
sent a donation of four thousand pounds to a j
tuionto, knight, who distributed that *u n ;
among ail* he poorer knights who attended
.’the meeting. The Seigneur (Juiilatne Gr*.*
de Martel gave a splendid dinner, the viands
■ having all been cooked by the flame of W“-x

j eenee of Count Bertrand Himbault attracted
! the loudest applause. For he set lie peasants

then ha epihtly and proudly sowed therein
small piece* of money, to the amount of fif
teen hundred English guineas. Rupied xt tin*

V . sjuij'it \drrrtixing.— We arc often
asked win we fill so much of our space
with medical and other advertisement. IVr
hapsc a heller reason than the one given
in the following article could not be found;
| and we think that the editor of the Harks
j and Schuylkill Journal has hit the nail on
I the head in putting forth the following, for
| it is much the ease with us, and u e suppose
with others also :
“ N’ Idle every editor must he thankful
to a certain portion of his subscribers, for
uniform punctuality in their payments, and
for the kind interest which they take in the
i success of the paper, vet it is seldom, we
i believe, that he ready experiences and fecl
i ing of extraordinary gratitude. The pa
t pers received by each subscriber in the
| course of a year, cost annually more than
j the price ol subscription, in the mere ex
| peuse of material and manual labor, and if
; the editor finds after settling his accounts,
I that he has any tiling left for his trouble, it
j must come from the advertising columns.
Persons who are so much surprised to find
j long advertisements of quark medicines,
Ac., will therefore understand that they
are not inserted from a belief that nothing
more interestfng to readers could be found,
but for other reasons equally important.”

wa*had tieiore the Mayor on Saturday morn
ing, of the evidence regarding thu connection
of these defendants with the famous Manual
Labor Banker m hta effort* to delude the corn- |

All the defendants appi .ired befote tlie Mayor
i except Messrs. J. I). A C. VV . Dyott, vvho, it
was shewn by tlie evidence of Mr. Young the
I police officer intro-tsd with the warrant for

Mr. Hirst for the prosecution, proceeded to
■ state the ground* upon which the suit had been
commenced, and detailed, in a speech of great
! clearness and precision, the facts and circum
stances which tie should offer lu evidence to
prove the collusion and connivance of the de
fendant* with Mr. Uvott, in hi* gigantic schemes
1 of fraud und plunder through the agency of the
Manual Labor Bank, |s
After concluding his opening addfCss. Mr.
Hirst produced the indicuiH'iilagainst Ur. Uv
ott, und the verdict of the jury thereon, as evi
dence of the connection with him of his son
and nephew, they being specifically charged
in it with acting in concert w iih the Doctor.
The counsel for the prosecution are Messrs
llirsl ami Campbell ;for thcdefeqdnnts, Messrs.
Fhdlip* Randall, und William*.—Pena.
The charges in detail as applicable to Mr.
Mann, are—
Combining in • conspiracy to do an unlawful
| act by unlawful mean*.
And for collusion with a certain Banker, who j
! afterward* defrauded his creditors.
Ho far as relates to Mr. Uidgwuv, the charges
: are threefold, ami of Hie nature of conspiracy
in each Case. First, for agreeing w itn Ur.
Dyott to maintain, support, encourage and
a wist a certain device called the Manual Labor
Bank.
2d For exaggerating the capital and means

i tiled that Ur. Dyott must have secreted wealth,
and he also assumed lrotn eitdotice, that Mr.
Kidgway was, lor a certain time, in the posi
tion of the banker of Ur. Dyott, and ouuse
quettlly the recipient of lus wealth.
Alter the e charges had been verbally pre
ferred, Mr. Hirst entered into explanations
and elucidations, by way of showing the con
nection between Ur. Dyott Httd tlie accused.
Mr. Stephen Simpson was then examined at
great length. ll* was followed by Mr. Gtl
i u'sptc amt Mr- B. Taylor. Although we have
‘an ample report otThe evidence, we iorbeat
j ftoui making it public at ibis stage of the ex-
I animation. Suffice it to say, that several very
I inatcrTul facts were deposed to show the con
nection between the parties, and particularly
a* relates to Vlr. Jacob Hidgway. The latter
! witnesses for example, aimed that .-u far as
ijtey were concerned, they w ere indue, and to

When Hr. Dyott got into inexiricnitie diflicuu
ies, Mr. Ridgway got rfti of the bond, which
was re a signed toother parties.
In the course of Mr. Simpson’s evidence, he

(meaning myself and others, original trustees
of the bond) migh all go to the devil; that he
would now swnn nt defiance of he public, and
bold u rod over the world. Hr. Dyott said that
In- had pgid Mr. Kidgway one thousand dollars i

was called for, but not a note was heard ;
the owner became uneasy, and said, in a
soothing, coaxing tone, “ Do play, my
good organs.” Still not a sound was heard,
lie got out of patience, and threatened to !

you broke my head, dis morning.” This
was too inttelt for the choleric German ,- he
took a chair and gave the organ such a

Os Judging Justly.—A perfectly just
and sound mind is a rare and invaluable
gift. But it is stili more unusual to see
a mind unbiassed in all its actions.—God
; has given this soundness of mind but to ;
few; a very small number of these few
■ escape the bias of some predilection, per
haps habitually operating ; and none arc at
all times, and perfectly free. I once saw
this subject forcibly illustrated. A w atch
; maker told me that a gentleman put an ex
cellent watch in his hands that went irreg
ular. It was as perfect a piece of work as
: was ever made. He took it to pieces, and
‘put it together again twenty limes. No
; manner of defect was discovered, and vet j
the watch went tolerably. At last it struck
hint that possibly the balance wheel might
have been near a magnet. On applying a j
needle to it he found bis suspicions true.
Here was all the mischief. The steal works
in the other parts ofthe watch went as well
as possible with anew wheel. If the
soundest mind be magnetised bv any pre
dilection, it must act irregularly.— Cecil.
