•f thero may bo dannger at any time, it will
not by any means derogate from our per
sonal intrepidity that we should’endeavor
to guard against it. An instance has very
recently been furnished, in which a person's
life was saved by the simple act of placiog
his feet upon the rail of a chair, instead of
upon the floor, when two persons,ono on eacb

Places of the greatest safety in a Thunder
Storm.—In csso a thunderstorm wore to hap
pen while a person is in thn house, not fur
nit lied with • proper conductor, it is advisa
ble not tost nod near places where (hero is any
metal, as chimneys, gilt frames, iron case
ments or tho like,.; but to go into (be middle
of a room, and endeavor to stand or sit upon
the best non conductor thnt can bp found nt
hand, os nn obi chair, stool. &c. / It is still
nnfer to bring two or threo mattresses or beds
into tho middle <>f (ho room,'and. folding (hem
up double, put the chair upon them; for (hoy
not being such good conductors as tho walls
tho lightning will not choose on ietcrruptci
courso through (ho air 'of (ho room and the
bodding, when it can go through a continued
and belter conductor—tbo wail. The place
of most absolute safety is tho cellar, apd par
fholsrly the middle of it; for when a person
is lower than tho surface of tho Onrth, the
lightning mUBt strike (he surface of the earth
before it enn possibly reach him. But when
it con be had, o hammock, or swinging bed,
suspended by wilk cords equally distant from
tho walla on every side, and from the ceiling
above and below, a (Turds tho safest situation
n person can have in any room whatever,
and what, indeed, maybe considered quilo
free from dnngor of any. stroke ojf lightning.
If a storm happens whilst a person is in the
open fields, ond far from any building, the
br*t thing ho cnndoisto retjro within a small
distance of thn highest (red or'trees he can
got at : he must by no rnpnns go quite nenr
them, but should stop al'abont 15 or 20 feet
from their outward .branchcMfdi if the light
ning should fall thereabout, U ; im)l very pro-
bnhly strike the trees, and should a tree be
split, be is safe enough at- that distance from
it; besides, from repeated observations, it
has boon ascertained, that the' lightning by
no means descends in ono undivided track; 1
hut bodies of various kinds conduct their
share of it at tho same time, In proportion to
their quantity of conducting pawot.

The Old Dominion, a Virginia paper,*
makes tho following remarks, upon tho sub
ject of tho commistiuns, which it recently
appears have been received by some of the
Clerks in the Departments•
11 We had formed no idea of the extent to
which the public officers at Washington had
abused tho truste reposed in thou). Not
content with extravagant salaries, sufficient
almontto support a nabob, it appears, that
many of the clerks, thro* whoso hands any
portion oftho public money paued, extract
ed a percentage from the amount paid nwny.
which, in some cases, would have bacu a
hdndsomo romuoeintioh for nil tho services
rendered. No regularity appears lo have
boon observed in relation to the amount of
the percentage charged : Fur instance. Mr
Filfcbrown, who held two offices, and consc-
queotly received two salaries, bhd the mo
desty to charge only one per cent while Mr.
Nourse, who has lived on the public treasury
ever since the year 1778, ebargrd 2J per ct.
Webavo yet to learn what per centaga oth
er clerks have charged; but we havo no
doubt that every man who had the diiposa!
of a single dollar of tho public money, re
tained his share of it, in the shape of a charge
for extra services, taking care to oxtract
such a percentage as his conscience dictated.
We havo cast a glance at tho account ex
hibited by Mr. Fillcbrown, in his transact
ions with the commissioners of the Navy
Hospitals, and find, that since March, 1826,
he has received, as per ccntage on moneys
disbursed, tho sum of $2696 32 cents. This
sum, added to bis two aalariers. which Mr F
can no longer receive, is well calculated to
rouse his ire, ond terrible hubbub in tho two
Nationals at Washinglon. through whose
columns,the discharged clerks disgorgo thei-
spleen, aud vent tho overflowing of their
gall.”
The Washinglon Telegraph observes, in
regard to the re-election of Gen Jackson:—
“ It ia not true that we denied the fact
that General Jackson is to bo a candidate
for re-election; nor have we, at anytime,
used language which even the “interpre
ters” of the Journal could distort into such
a meaning. Wo have not yet'befeh author
ized to say what the intentions of General
Jackson are, and wo have avoided, with some
care, any-thing that could bo construed into
an exprussioa of views on the subject—
Should he yield, as we sincerely , hope he
will, to thp voice and wishes of the people,
thero can be no question of the resull,”
Tho correspondent of tho Baltimore Re
publican, relates the two following anecdotes
of the President’s inflexible regard to justice :
A gentleman who had basked in the sun-
uhino of office, seduced, under the most so
lemn promise of marriage, a young lady of
exquisite bd&uty and accomplishments, but
not blessed with tho advantages of fortune.
For this fcttocity ho was challenged by the
brother of his victim, whom he so severely
wouoded that bis life was for a long time dee-
m ^paired of. He at length recovered—and wa9
" presented by Gen. Jackson with tho office
held by his worthless enemy. Another gen
tleman, remarkable for his reckless extrava*
ganco ond disregard to the bills of his credit
ora, lately received his “ walking ticket”—
His wife called on the President and suppli
cated him to restore her husband to his office.
“ Iam very sorry for it, Madam, (said he)
hut I am firmly resolved, while I oan prevent
it, that no person who is unable to manege
his own affairs, shall be entrusted with those
of the public.”

The Money Market —Tho slight scarcity
which existed for a week or two bas passed
away It was evident that a pressure could
neither be severe nor of long duration, for
tiie rate of exchange has not been such for
months ae to warrant the exportation of spo
cie, except to India, and the quantities arm
ving have been abundantly sufficient to meet
that demand. There had been no excessive 1
speculations; but husiuess for more than a
year had been conducted on & very moderate
and prudent scale. There could not there
fore be any great reduction of tbo amount of
money in market, nor any. groat increase of
demand for it. The failure of three cou ntry
banka produced some excitement, butas it is
now more than & week since the last explo
sion. it ia said that public confidence ^is re
stored. The pressure to which we have re
ferred Bervod as the occasion for various ex
aggerated statements and labored accounts
of How the commnnity had come into a con
dition of distress, which existed only io ima
gination. It also gave rise to a report that
lo city banks were-chout ia hriug a prefix
sure on the community, which would extort
a demand fur the repeal of tho new book law*
and to various other rumors which being
mere fictions, hove died awsy.—*/our. Com.
