Some time afterwards we received one of our exchange papers from the Sjuth, containing an article of nearly a column, headed “ Hubble Extraordinary,” abusive of those concerned in the lottery, and denouncing the scheme as an unexampled attempt “to deceive and rob the pu'iliek.’’ Totest the truth of this charge, we imme diately sent bur bill for the advertisement to Messrs.

Steamboat Wm. liurlbutt, Burnt. —This boat, which left our wharves last evening 1 about sunset, with a large number of pas- | sengers, and full cargo was burnt to the waters edge, about ten miles above town, j The fire originated in the hold, being first! observed breaking out of the hatches, j She was immediately run ashore, but noth ing was saved except the lives of the pas sengers and crew ; cargo entirely consu- : med. We understand their was no insur ance upon either boat or cargo. The fire was seen from the town, and the steamboat Logansport immediately proceeded up the river ; she returned in the night with the passengers and crew, who were taken from the shore. P. S.—Since writing the above we have seen (he clerk of the boat, who informs us .that the flames spread so rapidly after the alarm was given, that it was- only by the greatnest exertions he was able to save the books of the boat and cash letters. The particulars given above are correct, with the addition, that before closing the hatch es, the mate carefully examined the hold, and that there was no light left; and he ob served oolhing indicating the approaching disaster. There is not the least apprehen sion of their being any of the passengers or crew missing. Lehigh Coal Trade. —For the week end ing the 25th, the number of boats was 241, carrying?),B92 tons.

Having adverted to the evils ntiendanlon Legisla tion from a numerous body, we might reverse the sub j jeet and by contrast shew the benefits which would flow from a more limited association for all the pur -1 poses connected with general Legislation ; but we pass on to the consideration of a principal, which we deem of vital importance to the people ofGeorgin, and ! particularly so to the Eastern district. We allude to the federal basis, which if the amendment to the j Constitution be ratified, may be considered as a settled I question. Under the Constitution of the United Stales, the I right to l>e represented by our Slave population, was established, on the principle, that taxation and repre sentation go together; and Georgia wisely incorpo rated the same principle into her system of Govertt j ment, thereby consecrating it, as essential to the inter est identified with her. The Convention of 1835 desecrated this principle for party purposes; and affords a further illustration i of the evil resulting from a large, and what we con \ sideran irresponsible body'. For wo do contend hud the Convention been formed on the plan of reduction when contended for, so vital a principle would never have been yielded A small body of legislators would never have dared to assume so highhanded a measure—they would have shrunk from the respon | sibtlity of so great an outrage, or wou'tl have sunk | overwhelmed by the indignation of an incensed peo ple. But confiding in their numbers, and party asto ’ ciation they did yield their principle, and would do : it again, if the People were so unwise as not to ratify the proceedings of the late Convention. We hao said l hat the Federal basis was important to the State, | and equally so to the Eastern district.—lmportant to t lvStole because it increases the numberof her repre sentatives, and enables her to assume a rank in the confederacy, that she otherwise would not be able to attuin—and because itreeoguir.es Slaves as property, subject to taxation, and not therefore liable to the ac tion of the Federal Government orto the schemes of the Abolitionists —Important to the Eastern districts, be i cause deprived of it, it would be reduced to a unit in | the scale of representation, as must be evident to eve ry oiij, who will examine the last census. Under no modification therefore of the Constitution, with a iew to reduction, could the interest of the small conn '■ ties, and particularly those in the Eastern section be lieltcr protected than under the proposed arrangement —How important therefore is it, that they should he united an favor of Ratification. By Ratification, j they preserve their present influence in the Counsels | of the State, reduce the expenses of the Government, i and in all probability secure to posterity, more useful | and efficient Legislation. NEW YORK, Aug. 3. Money Market.— A large business has been i done at the- stock exchange to-day; prices have fluctuated without material change. A further i business was done in sterling bills this morning, previous to the departure ofthe steamers. The rate has receded a little from yesterday’s sales. A large amount of specie lias gone out by the packets sailing to-day. The Great Western lias on board $230,090, the British Queens227,- i 009, ami the packet ship Ontario $143,000. The Ontario and Baltimoie about $200,000 o ! gather, making in all $000,090. Much pains lias been taken by the shippers to conceal the fact of the shipment. These mysterious move -5 menls are calculated to excite distrust in the public mind. The regular, above board move ments of trade never create any panic. It is the attempt at concealment, which alarms the public mind. “Moonlight” shipments of spe cie are always suspicious. This is part of the j amount payable.in London by a certain firm to which wc made reference lately, aud is not in dicative of the regular current of trade. It I caine on speculation, and is going back on j speculation. Cohn Thade.—Flour is said lobe, by the ; street papers, up tos6a $625 a barrel, but there are no sales, for there is no demand w hatever for the article. The prices arc only marked up for the purpose of bringing forward fresh supplies, as the old crop is nearly out of the market. Five dollarsand three quarters is the l correct rate. It is invariable the case on the ■ turn from the old to-the new crop thaf prices ; are advanced, grid it is for no other reason than j what wc have slated. When flour is $0,25 in the face of such abundant crops as we have had, there is always something unnatural at work to operate upon the market. Supplies have not been backwark this season, but will not begin to come forward in large quantili s until some such movements as the above is made, for commodities will invariable converge to that point where prices range the highest, There have been, in consequence of this, targe shipments to Lake Champlain and also several parcels to Canada, one from this city. But these shipments have had no effect on prices her. The quantity oflfiecie which left Wall slreet yerierday, may be estimated at near 1,100,000. The amount which left in the packetson freight was, as we stated, near $600,000; but the U. S. Bank drew specie from the debtor banks, and a large amount was taken privately. This movement of specie, although anticipated, created a great deal of gloom to day, and stocks were universally depressed. Many stocks were brought into the market by those in want of money, causing prices to fall from 1-2 to 2 per cent. There is a rumour that the Schuylkill Bank j of Philadelphia lias been run for specie during ! the past two days. The bank has, so far, met all demands. The decline in slocks is incident upon the pressure, caused by the departure of specie, j There is, however, no cause for alarm. The prices of cotton have fallen so low as to gene- j rate a demand. A few weeks of time are. however, necessary to show wether the power of the holding speculators has Become - so far broken as to disable them from continuing their peinacious influence upon the markets.

A’, (a few miles from Ncw-York city,) on Wed nesday last, between Thomas J. Blake and ; George Peterson, members of a Thespian Society in New-York city. A young lady I was at the foundation of it. Peterson, a few evenings previous, had escorted the la dy to .the Society’s rooms—Blake being there, took a fancy to her, and by fair promt ; scs and some coaxing, induced her to leave the house and take a walk with him. For this shabby trick Peterson, the next morn ing, attempted to give him a cotvhiding, ! but was worsted ami his weapon taken front him by Blake, lie then sent Blake n challenge to mortal combat, which came off on the day stated above. The weapons were pistols. At the first fire young Pet erson received hi* antagonist’s ball in the thigh, when Blake instantly declared that he aimed with the intention of hitting the ground, and that he did not wish to harm Peterson, as lie had no enmity against him. The latter having expressed him self perfectly satisfied with the result, the hall was extricated on the spot, by a Doc tor who went with the party. Both par ties arc extremely young : one of them not over 18 years of age. They both stood up to the mark with good courage, and the whole affair was conceived and carried out in a most romantic, manner, and the result will doubtless put the young heroine in cc> stacics. — B.

An Unsophisticated Youth....A corres pondent gives the following laughable an eriloto which he says occurred in New York some time since. A mechanic who had a large number of apprentices, hud oc casion to leave the city i'or n few days. Be fore starling he called up one of his most trustworthy and faithful apprentices and told him tliat during his absence he must act as boss ami do every thingjust ns he j had always seen him while overseeing the ! establishment—in short take his place while !he was gone. The hoy began to blubber. | “What’s the matter with you?” He cried I still the louder. “What has got into you, I say? Take your fingers out of your mouth ami tell me what you arc crying for.” “Cause l wants to sleep with the hoys!” Funny Scene at the Bowery. —Wc tnav talk as we please about the burlesque on manners published by Marryalt and others; but a scene occurred at the Bowery on Saturday night, that if published in either of the books oftravels, would be regarded as the wildest fiction. A gentleman, with two ladies, entered the dress circle of the Bowery soon after the play began, and finding the atmosphere very close, deliber ately took off his coat, and luid it besides kirn ; not being sufficiently cool, he took off his vest also. Still feeling uncomfortably warm, he rolled up Itis shirt sieves, and in this state sat out the play. Piracy.— Thomas Allaiti, an American, was examined iri Liverpool on a charge of having tried to murder Mr. Barney, first officer of tire General Parkhill, off the coast of Florida. The magistrates dismissed him as they had no jurisdiction in the case. He was then arrested and put on board the packet ship Oxford, to be sent to New- York for trial.

Well, thought we, that may be, for at your ! age, the citizen who now holds the proud station of Chief Magistrate of this intel ligent, powerful, arid free people, and who is this day being honored, had no better | prospect than yourself, to attain the high i eminence. Industry, the cultivation of J good morals, and application—untiring ap plication, have raised him, and will also j raise you to distinction. Well may every boy in our land, to whom the path of dis i tinction is alike open, fired with laudable j ambition, swing his hat and cry out as did | this little fellow, “Iltirra!

Curious Fact.— On Wednesday the Bth | of May, the four courts composing the : quadruple alliance, viz: England, France, Portugal and Spain, were withouta real and bona-fide ministry. A Man killed by his own Wife soon af ter their Marriage. —The Crawfordsvilie, (Indiana,) Examiner, gives a singular ac count of the marriage of Joseph Bush to Jarie Bush, of that vicinity.—They had deen married about three weeks, and he attempted to choke her the first night. He said that he had killed two wives previous ly, and one man, for his money. He took an axe into the room, and swore that he would kill her before morning. In order to prevent her escape, be lay in front of the door, and fell asleep, when his wife took j the axe, and in order to save her own life, gave him afata) blow.

Sir—lt becomes my painful duly to inform you of the assassination of the greater part of Lt. Col. Harney’s detachment by ihe Indians, on the morning of the 23d inst. on the Cole osal.atchie river, where they had gone in ac cordance with the Treaty it Fort King, to es tablish a treading house. The party consisted of about 28 men, armed with Colt’s Rifle; they were encamped on the river but unprotected by defence of any kind, and it is said without sentinels. The Indians in large force made llie attack before the dawn of day, aud, before re veille, and it is supposed tiiai 13 of the men were killed, among whom was Major Dallam, and Mr. Morgan, settlers. The remainder ‘.vim Col. Harney escaped; several of them severely wounded. It was u complete sur prise. The Commanding Ge tend therefore directs, ■ that you instantly lake measures to place the | defence of Fort Mellon in the most complete ■ state of repair, and be ready at all times to re pel and attack, should one be made. No portion of yourcommand will, in future, be suffered to leave the garrison, except under u strong escort. The Detachment at Fort Maitland, will be im mediately withdrawn. Should Fort Mellon prove unhealthy, and the Surgeon recommend its abandonment, you are authorised to transfer ihe garrison, aud rein force some of the neighboring posts. I am sir, GKO. H. GRIFFIN, Asst. Afljt. General, Lieut. W. E. Hanson, Comr. of Fort Mellon. The Florida War.— What has become ofthe twenty or thirty millions expended in the Flor ida War? This question is often asked, but” not as often as it should be. Did our people see the money taken from their pockets, they would ask tlie question to some purpose.. The great body of our citizens, who are laboring lo support their families, and nre groaning uii9.iv ilia Itiglt pricee of the necessaries 01 life, do not reflect thufthey are paying a por tion of their earnings to meet the reckless ex penditures of government agents, and to fill the pockets of greedy contractors. The rev enue paid at the Custom House is supposed to come in some mysterious way form the bottom oflbcdeep, instead of being drawn duv by day from the purse of the frugal consumer. It goes as mysteriously us it comes; and if Con gress appropriates a few millions, we notice it as much as wc should notice the passage of an empty resolution, or the appointment of u coni j mittee. What has become of the twenty millions? ! A shrewd Yunkee goes to Florida with a little steamboat which lie has bought from one o our rivers for seven thousand dollurs, and ihe j U. S. Army pays him three hundred dollars el day, for the. mere use of the boat , agreeing to return the boat in as good condition ■ it was taken. The bout is employed at this : rate from Octobei to June, and at the end of that time the owner receives from the Trea sury seventy-two thousand, dollars, the boat be ing returned in good repair. During a part of this time the boat lies at the wharf, while the captain, who was sent to return it to itsowner, is having a drunken frolic: and meanwhile tile government is paying for it three hundred dollarsaday! In addition to this three hun dred dollars, the crew must be paid, fully pro vided, &e. &c. The boat approaches a woud | pile: wood must be had, and now is the time ; for a fine drought on the Treasury. Ten j times the value of the. wood is a moderate | charge; the money is paid, and the boat moves on. At the same late are other puchases made and labor employed; arid the patriotic dealers who thus supply he government use ! greatly saddened thtt’ the honor of the Nation should be wounded by anything like a relin quishment of the Florida war. I This is not fancy, it is history, and we have it from the mouth of an intelligent gentleman j in Florida, tvhose account merits the highest confindence. From the same source welearn (what might have been well enough conjectur ed) that the movers of Ihe excitement respect ing General Macomb’s treaty are chiefly men who furnish, directly or i -directly, the sup plies of the army, and the means of carrying on the war. We have slated these facts as throwing light ! on the subject. “What has become of the twenty millions?” That peculiar circumstan ces may sometimes render such expenditures unavoidable, will not be doubted. But the history ofthe Florida contracts and purchases would probably do little credit to the financial skill of the government agents, if such apology were offered. The Cost of the Canadas to Great Bri tain.—John Bull loves Colonies dearly, or else he would not pay so dearly for them. The baily pay of 14,000 regular soldiers, to say nothing of volunteers, who squan der more money than the regulars, would make, as Brother Jonathan would guess, a good many rail roads. According to the Budget of the Chancellor, we see, that the cost of keeping the Canadas is running the the Home Treasury ashore. If we had their 14,000 soldiers on our public works, with the officers as engineers, we would soon finish up our New York and and Erie, and Albany Rail Roads.—The armed body in Canida is now estimated at 33,000 men. —New York Express. American mechanics. —The London papers give a particular account of a trial , recently made on the Grand Junction Railway, England, between a Cocomotive manufactured by Mr. Norris of Pfirladeb phia, and one of the best that could be se lected from the British Engines- The re sult was highly complimentary to Ameri can mechanics, and established the superi ority of their work over that of the’r En- ! ,glish competitors..
