The consequence Is, that wo are compelled to publish onr paper lilts week on a half sheet, as we have no money to send to town for pa per.” S .clt is the ‘‘o'er true tale” of a Western publisher, apologising to his readers for being obliged to cut down his weekly sheet one halt of its proper dimensions. The simple story this ISuilor is only illustrative of the general history and state of newspaper pubdeation all over the failed Stales. A large iportionof the newspapers, in fact, merely > r.tg on from day today a lingering, lalmriou , \nd painful existence, which most of thorn w,. ,ld hu ■ m;o have voluntarily resigned but for the mixed motive of pride and duty which induce them to cling to existence, not as long as it is endu rable inert ly, but as long as it is poessitile. For this sickly condition of the newspaper press the publishers of newspapers are them seixes somew hat to blame. Os all the arts of life, theirs is that whose professors have per haps less of the esprit dr corps than any olh or. They to often suffer themselves too be im posed upon by their customers ; and in truth the rivalry is such among themselves, that they are half afraid to insist on the same justice ] which every body else exacts front them, lest they should lose thetr patrons by enforcing their rights.—Tints it happens, that whilst there urc very few publishers of newsptpcrs who would not feel themselves entirely at case, in body and mind, if they could realize w ithin a fourth of the whole amount due upon their : books, there arc almost as few who are not, at the close of the year, (and indeed, at the dost of every week in the year.) sorely puzzled how to make Ikuli ends meet. To this ohser-*’ ration there are. of course, .many exception*, but not so many as to invalidate the general truth of it.

Being thus detected, it fell to Black Hawk, as j the nearest relative, to avenge his nephew’s i.- jury, which betook theoarlics occasion to do, and stabbed Kcoktick at the entrance of his nephew’s wigwam. Keokuck, it will be re | meiubered, was always Ihe friend of the whites, and opposed to the celebrated Black Hawk or | Sac w ar, and tvas promoted chief through the | instrumentality of the United States Govern ment. He was about fifty years of age and at i the lime of his death was tfiis side ot the Dett i Moines river, about 135 miles (four days Jnurit ; ey the Indians have it) west of the Mississippi, Young Black lluwk is now chief of the Sacs, and the last news was at the bead of ‘2009 wur nors, inarching for the Sioux county. He has j lohi none of his inveterate hostility to the ‘whites; but the terror with which his late travel through the United Stales with his fa ther and prophet inspired hint may keep him from any other demonstrations of it, although he sneers at the peaceable disposition of Keo- i kuck, nnd swears he will convince other na- j tiona of the invincibility of his warriors.

I think you had as well learn how it is. Changed enough God knows. Cultivation Iva done something lo effect this change, but vilnnous bad taste, and royal vain glory have done the rest. In the plain, the Dutch erected a huge mound, shaped like a cone, on which they placed a Belgion lion. This j hillock was actually made, to mark the spot where the Prince of Orange was wounded, i And to do the matter thoroughly about twenty feet of the soil were leveled away lo ! some extent—thus changing the very char ! artcr of the scene of battle ! The localities I are thus destroyed. You read an account of the battle, and when you visit the scene of action, you cannot understand how thu buttle tvas fought, and you wonder why you cannot. The French cav alry were checked in their advance by the roughnessof the ground—the mound menu- fiit-ltirer has cleared them nil away. A ; bank sheltered the English cuvtilry from the | deadly sweep of the French guns—the bank ‘is taken away. The English troops for hours sustained the attack of the French in | one commanding position—that hus been ; shoveled away ! All this has been done to tell that a Dutch Msince was wounded on i the field ! The wood ofPolgnes is rapidly vanish ! ing.—The owners are rutting it down every | veer. The Duke of Wellington has an es tate here (as Prince of Waterloo) and he , also is culling down his time. Hougomont is becoming a ruin—but then, as srl oil', the willow over the Mar | quis of Anglesea’s amputated leg is very . flourishing. George IV. \ foiled Waterloo ; when on the Continent in September, 1821, ! and is said to have contemptuously smiled ; at the idea of a gorgeous monument over the said leg. The natives insist that the Dutch won the battle, and blame Cotton, the author of tile pride to Waterloo, (who was pres ent and very severely wounded) for affirm ing that the Duke of \\ ellinglon and his troops had some share in the victory. The Prussians say that Blutcher was the con queror. The French—says as little about the matter as they can. Os human relics there remain many. The bones of the dead are perpetually turned up by the plough. They say that the lieltl of Waterloo has been remarkable for its fine corn since the battle. The year after the light, the corn all came up of a dark green— human gore had made the land much too rich. I believe it is not generally known that, in the autumn of 1814. as the Duke of Wel ls. ;lon was passing over Waterloo, he was struck with the aspect of thr place. ‘This,’ said he, -is the very spot l would choose on which to fight a pitched battle for the i liberties of Europe.’ He even remained a day at Mont St. Jean, and carefully exam ined the place. No doubt this observation was of essential service to him on June IS,- 1815. Tile Boston correspondent ol'the New York Post writes that some years since, John Lowell, ! jr. Esq, of Boston, died in some remote part of Asia, while on his travels, and left half of his estate, amounting now to 8350.000, to the support of free lectures to the people of Boston. The first course is to be given next wi Her, and Mr. Silliman, of New Haven, and Drs. Palfrey and Walker, of Cambridge, are en gaged for the season.

I.YSCII I.AW. There are few, if any, who look upon a scene like that at the foot of Griswold-street, yesterday, without a thrill of horror. Yet. w c must confess, there are crime* committed by those wearing the form of man,, for which there is no legal remedy. Paul Maples, a ; butcher here, and a disgrace to his family and liisr trade, (for our butchers generally are a j wort hey class of men.) received in hia cm i ployinc-ut, some months since, a deserter from the British army, and, after becoming indebt ed to him some 50or 70 dollars, conceited hi* j obligation by getting the poor fellow into a fit of intoxication, conveying him across the river and surrendering him lo British officers for the ordinary rewurd on such occasions. Hut to their honor and manliness let it be said, they allowed him to be whipped and cropped 1 for his pains. Yet laws must be executed and | rules enforced, and it being understood that I yesterday was the. day appointed lor the exe cution of the deserte , certain individuals took the wretch, who could sell the life of a broth er man for a few paltry dollars, rode him on a rail, shaved his head, tarred and sanded it, and he was finally lodged in jail to protect him I from annihilation. We do not, we cannot, 1 commend such acts on the part of any portion 1 of our citizens, but we will repeat our words, that there are villaniet committed for w inch the law makes on provision. I.el this fellow be discharged from jail, and permit to leave the scene of his disgrace. He cannot live ( here. Fire at Ihe Astor House. —About 12 o’clock yesterday, the uimost confusion prevailed among the inmates of the As lor house, in con sequence of its being discovered that the Idrge apartment used for drying clothes was on fire. The female domestics- sixty or seventy in number—tumbled over each other hi their efforts to secure their own trunks and chatels, ■ little carring for the fate of the building, or the property of other persdns. But that danger at , one time threatened the entire edifice, the -cene I of confusion and dismay among these people, ; would have made a very stoic smile. Bonnets, caps, hats, shawls and other ct ceteras were thrown together in “most admired disorder” and it was not until the fire was wholly subdued that anv one of the numerous and tnotcly corps of damsels could be induced to return to their j household allegiance. It appears that some ■ combustible material*had been placed too near the stove used in the room where the fire orig inated, and considerable progress had been made by the destructive clement when the catastrophe was first discoved. Thanks to the prompt exertions the firemen, and athm-Iy and plentiful supply of wuter, the damage was con fined to one apartment only, and will not ex ceed three or four score dollars—exclusive of ihe refreshments—in the shape, of wines, li quors, and mint julips—wlnch were liberally served up to each of the large number of fire men present. Devil,a Family Maine Formerly there were rnanv persons surname.! the Devil, such as Rngerius Diahnlus , Lord of Mon* tresor. An English monk, WiUelmus, surnaniod Diavolus. Cobert, IJ uk e o f Nor mandy, sou of the .Conqueror, was snrna med the Devil. In Norway and Sweden, there were two families, of t game of TrolU, in English, Devil, and every branch of these families had an emblem of the Devil for their coat of arms. In Utrecht there was also a family called Teufel o r Devil, and in Brittany there was a family n.yiicd Diahle. Forks. —ln the ruins of Pompeii, spoons have been discovered, but no forks ,■ whence it is inferred that the K nnans, at least be fore the accession of Titus, which was coe val wit* t|)c destruction of that city, had no such table utensils. Nor is it known that at any Inter period the ancient world ever adopted these instruments. The lady who first displayed them at her table, was named Maria, and was sister to the Ramans, who acceded to the Byzantine Empire in 10.11. Fotks, therefore, were probably invented at Constantinople. Museocian Funerals.— in Muscovy, when a man dies, his friends and relations imme diately assemble, and seat themselves in a circle round the cm ps, of w hich they ask the following questions :—“ Why have you died ’. Is it because your commercial con cerns went badly ? Or was it because you could not obtain the accomplishments of your desires ? Was your wife deficient in youth or beauty ? Or has she been faith less to her obligations t ” They then rise nnd quit the house. M hen they carry the body to be buried, it is covered, and convey ed on a bier to the brink of the intended grave, the covering is then withdrawn, the priest reads some prayers, the company kiss the dead and retire. These ceremon ies finished, the priest places bet weed the fingers of the dead man a piece of paper signed by the patriarch confessor, purport ting his having been a good Christian. This they suppose, serves as a passport to the other world, and from its certifying the goodness of the deceased, St. l’eter, when he sees it, util open to him the gates of eternal life. The letter given the corps is removed, and placed in the grave, with the face towards the East. Singular Justice. —We observe, by the re sult of a recent suit in New Orleans, that in that state the owner of a slave is civ illy res ponsible for felonies committed by Ins slaves. In the case referred to the plaintiff obtained a virdict for 81250 and costs. The following are the circumstances: on ihe night of the 6th June last year, the plaintiff’s office was ro bed of 81.400 in Texas notes, and 8150 in gid. Three blacks were apprehended for the rob bery —On one of them, the slave of the defend- j ant, 8100 of the money was found, and SSOO of it were recovered from a person to whom he had passed it.

And such a crowd, says the Time*—“there wnsn’t room for a man to take snuff, and a little yellow dog was so squeezed he couldn’t bsrk.” Non sense ! That don’t begin. When Master Burk played atTremont, some years since, the city authorities forbade any person to enter the theater without first marking his legs with a piece of chalk so that he might be sure of finding them again.

The battle of Eleven Hundred Horses.— \ ‘Two of the (Spanish) regiment* which had been quartered in Funen were cavalry, mounted on fine black long tailed Andalu sian horses. It was impracticable to bring off these horses, about 1100 in number— and Romans was not a mail who could order them to be destroyed ; he was fond of hor- ] ses himself, and knew that every man was attached to the beast which had carried him so far and so faithful. Their bridcls therefore were taken off, and they were turned loos upon the beach. A scene en sued such as probably never before was witnessed. They were sensible that they were no longer under any restraint of hu man power. A general conflict ensued, in which, retaining the discipline they had learned, they charged each other in squad rons of ten or twenty together then close ly engaged, striking with their fore feet, and biting and tearing each other with the most ferocious rage, and then trampling over those which were beaten down, till the shore in the course of a quarter of an hour, was strewn with the dead and disa bled. Part of them had been set tree on a rising ground at a distance ; they no soon heard ‘lie roar of the battle, then they came thundering down over the intermediate hedges and catching the contagious mad ness, plunged into the fight with equal fury. Sublime as the scene was, it was too horri ble to he long contemplated, and Kotnana, in mercy gave orders for destroying them ; but it was found too dangerous to attempt this, and after the last boats quited the beach, the few h-irses that remained were seen still engaged in the dreadful work ofmutual destruction.’— Southey's History of the Pe ninsula Wetr. New-Orleans, June ’23 —Attempted Sui cide.—A gentell looking man attempted to drown himself yesterday morning on the Mississippi, hut was rescued by some indi viduals who happened to be near. He appeared determined to make way with himself, and accordingly went on board a fiat boat, tied his legs togethor with a han kerchief, and then rolled into the rivet like a turtle on a log. He doubtless was fear ful of altering his mind, after jumping in the water, and therefore took, the precau tion of tying his legs fast.
