Washington, January I, 1840.
I look, with some solicitude, to the next meet
ing of tin House, on Friday, by an order, al
ready adopted, petitions are to bv received from
the several Slates, the call commencing with
Main . I'he nu nber of aholiti »n petitions ready
to be poured in trom the eastern States is very
great. There is n > restraint whatever, upon tlnar
introduction, rea ling, reference, or discussion.—
They will he discussed; and. as you may imag
ine. the debate cm t ho very temperate or order
ly. Ii is unfortunate that same rule was not
a 'opted to prev. m the agitation of this subject;
but it appears that, from want of concert, an- di
versity of opinion, it he very dillic l! U‘ bring
the House to any particular rule. A large ma- |
parity of tlu House are openly in favor of the
propsition of Mr. Chinn, of Loulsana. to refer
the petitions, without debate, to a Select Com
niettec, with the undersl- nding that the Com
mittce shall be composed chiefly of Southern men.
un i nuke a strong and satisfactory repoit against
the object of the petitioners. Bat this mode ac
kn nvledgea the right of Congress to act on the
subject; it permits the reception and the consid
eration of the petitions, and may serve only to
encourage instead of checking the progress of
fanaticism.
An assuit upon tho independence of the Fed
eral Judiciary is seriously meditated. Mr. Tap
pan, of Ohio. has proposed, in the Senate, to
amend the Constitution s > as to Until the term of
the Judges to seven years. Should this innova
tion he allowed, the term will soon be reduced to
one year; and the Federal Courts will become
the loot-hall of parly.
Tallahassee, Dec. 23.
On Thursday of last week a party of Indians
attacked a wagon on the Federal road, near the
Ocilla river, lired on the driver and guard,
wounding two men and killing anotl er. Three
were on the road loaded with provisions—the
horses were detached, and the drivers and guard
lied, leaving the wagons unprotected. Fortu
nately they were not discovered by the Indians,
and their contents remained unmolested. The
guard we are informed have since been dismissed
from the service.
On Saturday night last, the dwelling of Maj.
J. S. Taylor, about six miles from Montioello was
attacked by Indians and burnt to the ground.
Tho family made their excape.— Floriduan.
Latest form Canton.— The ship Morris
on, at New York, brings advices from Canton to
the 271 h July.
The difficulties at Canton had icceived no
modification whatever, but wcic rather increasing
■nJ it is thought foreign trade will be entirely'
impended soon, and that further serious interrup
tions to tranquilly will occur. Foreigners of all
nations (save a few Americans.) bad left Canton
with all their equipage, either lor their respective
countries or Macao.

Cairo.— W e take pleasu ein giving place to
the following, for it show s, that uotw iiuaianduig
tho “state ol the tunes, ’ one ol the most impor
tant enterprises of the age is rapidly progressing,
and alfords employment to a targe number o
hands. The immense result cannot be doubted,
with the capital at tlie command of the company
judiciously expended,
“Extract from a letter dated Cairo, Illinois,
(mouth of the Ohio,) November, 1839 : >
I have been waiting here at this (will be)
« “queen of cities,’ with a host of travellers, lor
transhipment to various parts of the country.
Unless you are well acquainted with the* geo
graphical position of Cairo, you will not under
stand Uiat here me waters ol me Onio unite wim
the Mississippi, and that tins place is acce sidle
at all suusuius of Ik- year for me largest class oi
steamboats, and even sh ps. Cmiallcis boats an
hsre takes for tha Upper Miasis»ippi and mo
1 Ohio, and for the tributaiy streams of those two
• great highways. , . . .
1 This place, with the aid of English capital, is
I now raoidly progressing with its improvements.
—Already saw-milU. foundries, machine and
workshop's, dwellings and stores, of various de
tcriptioßs. give indication of the neurleus o a
great .and prosperous city. Certainly there is no
position in the whole West where the mechanic
arts can bo carried on with more success, espc
ciallv the manufacture of iron, ship and steam
boat build in t, and every branch ol business con
nected with iron woilt. The 1 ennessee river
supplies the pig metal at 33 per cent, less than it
can be sent to Pittsburgh, and bituminous coal,
equal to any in the country, is to be had within a
day ’s distance. The possession of these two im
portant staple articles, with the finest timber in
the greatest abundance, cannot fail to make Cai
ro the manufacturing as well as the commercial
emporium of western America.
Among the thousand travellers detained here
from day t* day. there is hut one opinion express
ed. that ‘ the liberal and extensive plans of oper
ation adopted by the company being carried out,
will in ten years give a population to the plais
equal to any city in the west; that in time it can
have no rival either in commerce or manufac
tures.”
The Army and Navy Chronicle says: “Me
learn with regret that Paymaster IL A. Forsyth
was dismissed from the Army a few days since,
by order of the President of the L. fe., for a de
falcation of about 515.000 in his accounts.
“liy resignation and death, and consequent
promotion, all the field olficers of the 4lh regi
ment of infantry were changed within three days
—a remarkable event that may not occur once in
20 or 30 y ears, in time of peace.
Col. • ummings. vice Cutler, resigned.
c « Incut. Col. (fiirland. vice Foster, deceased.
Major Stamford, vice Kiley, promoted.
In reference to the numerous paragraphs that
have appeared in many papers, to the chert that
a court martial was about to sit in Philadelphia,
lor the trial of Com. Elliott, the Chronicle em
phatically says that no court marital has yet been
ordered.
More Steamboat Disasters. —The Knic
kerbocker struck a snag near the mouth ot the
Ohio Dec. 10th, and fortunately fell in with a
keel boat, which saved the passengers. She than
sank; cargo lead; th ce-fourths of vvicli ($15.-
000) is insured at Louisville. Tae Gen. Gaine.-
was snagged on t e Ohio near the Wabash.—
The Return, with a heavy height of cotton snag
ged and sank, at the mouth of Yazoo river.
Power of Steam. —The power of steam in
its application to rapid traveling on railroads, is
familiar to all readers. The Philadelphia U. S.
Gazette mentions a recent instance of its power;
in the transport ition of an immense load, which
deserves to be noticed. On Monday last, a loco
motive constructed by Messsrs. Easterrich &
Harrison of that city, conveyed on the Railroad
from Reading to Philadelphia a train of sixty
nine cars, laden with flour and iron, the gross
weight of which was three hundred tons.—
Among the items of the load were 1400 barrels
of flour.
Mvrriaoe of the Qitef.n or England.—
On the 23d of November an “Extraordinary Ga
zelle” was published in London, containing the
following declaration of Queen Victoria to the
Privy Council, that she is about to take unto
herself a spouse.
“ I have caused you to he summoned at the
present time in order that 1 may acquaint you
with rny resolution in a matter which deeply con
cerns the welfare of my people and the happiness
of my future life.
“ It is my intention to ally mvself in marriage
with the Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg and Go
tha..
“ Deeply impressed with tho solemnity of the
i engagement which lam about to contract, I ha-e 1
not come to this decision without mature consid
eration. nor without feeling a strong assurance
that with the blessing of Almghty God, it will at
once secure my domestic ftlicity, and serve the
interests of my country.
“I have thought fit lo make this resolution
known to you at the earliest period, in order (hat
you may Ire fully apprised ot a matter so hi-ihly
■, important to me *nd my kingdom, and which I
persuade myself will be most acceptable to ail my
loving subjects.”
Whereupon all the Privy Councillors present
made their humble request to her Majesty, that
her Majesty’s most gracious declaration to them
might he made public; which her Majesty was
pleased to order accordingly.
The Vicksburg Sentinel of the 14lh December
states that the Marshal of Mississippi, has seized
on a large amount of funds the property of the
Brandon Bank, levied on to pay the debt due to
Messrs. Dennistonn. of New Orleans. It ap
pears that a short time ago the Brandon Hank
hail ordered the President of the Bank of Lex
ington. J. De W. Smith, to draw 5150,000. at
tho North, being the balance of iis cotton funds.
The marshal understanding this to be the case,
and acting by evidence of council proceeded to
Jackson, where he broke open the vaults of the
Planters’ Bank, and look therefrom 538,000 in
specie, being a spe ial deposit to the credit of said
Smith. Returning to Vicksburg, the Marshal,
after apprising Smith of his object, broke open
rinilli’s trunks, and took therefrom. s6.uno in
notes, belonging to the Brandon Bank. Deputy
marshals were sent to New Orleans ami else
where to seize money belonging to the Brandon
Bank, which, with the above already secured,
will mike <he sum of $75,000. Steps are also
to be taken to procure the refunding of SBO,OOO.
said to have been paid over by Smith to Col.
Shelton, formerly President of the Brandon
I Bank.
The Editor of tke Army 6c Navy Chronicle
states that he has seen a living specimen of the
honud frog, whose existence was many years
ago strongly doubted. The body resembles that
ot a trog. and is about tho same size. Gut the skin
is like that of he lizard—scaly— and it has a tail,
halt as long as the b dy. tapering to a point. It
was in rather a torpid slate, the climate being too
cold fur it. This frog was brought .rom Fort
Towson, by Lieut, Willot Martin, of the 3d
infantry, as a present fiom an officer stationed
there to Col, Hook of Washington.
No less than twenty-eight printers lost their
lives at Fannin’s massacre in Texas, Printers
