'I ■L— W - ' , RAI’ KILLING HV WII OLEHALE. t Hilly the Great and the Kentish Hitch. \ Tlie grand match between Hilly :iml his t rival in the rat killing line, the K utish t Hitch, was .Iccidcil mi Tuesday night a' I Charley's crib, in Duck lane. The interest excited by Uus affair was intense, and the t rush for admission exceeded the must san i gnine expectation ot the manager. The v doors liad not been opened leu minutes when v every part of the muse was crowded; and i the boxes were graced by about fifty pairs L of a. handsome oiastarhios as could he a found on the p.ua le of fashion in Hyde t I’ark, t the most fashionable hour of the a day. I'o svhom these killing appendages) belonged, it would be treason to betray. — I S ill T-e it to say, they were personages of c rank, and well known to //og fanciers to I boot. In a short time the heal became as ' intense and as oppressive, as w is prod dm- i eil by one of the aforesaid innstachoid ex- ' quisit.es as the blncic hole of Calcutta, and I every effort wis made to obtain Iresli air.— | The windows and doors were all opened ; hut this was not sufficient, and recourse! was had to removing a few tiles from thej roof, which was not su.'li denily elevated lo be out of the reach of the Corinthian part j of the spectators. Charley, other die : manner of the Great Manager of another I house, came forward and m ,de a speech in ; di fence of his roof, but he w>. heard with as little attention as Ki \g Dick and retired ■ amidst cries of “ Os! Off!” followed by loud calls for '■ The rat..! The rats!” lint, . as the house sv is not yet sufficiently tilled,! the door-keepers continued to cram in ait that came. I’his produced a fresh row, and cries of '• Fall! Full !” burst from all quar ters, and the minager was again called,— ( Having appeared, in his Court dress, lie as sured the house “ that notices had been stuck up an hour and a half ag >, losay that the nit was full.” Tuis assertion was very unceremoniously contradicted ; but, as the outer door wt.lhen close ), quietness was restored. fits Grace, the ” King’s rat catcher,” now entered the arena, and with a large cage filled witii rats of all ages and si ■/,es, and immediately proceeded to turn them lo.ne, to the great delight of the amateurs. In a few minutes after, the K mtish Hitch was introduced. She is rather larger than Hilly, and something of the same colour, bmg almost all while, t’ime-keepera were then appointed, and the .port began. Toe bitch rushed from corner to corner, and did her work well, but she was evidently not so quick as Hilly. Die odds were two to one agiinst her, hut no takers. Iter mouth was sponge 1 once during (lie operations, and having killed all b foe her, si e was taken': away, foe time keeper a inounced that .he! had completed her task in 8 minutes mid4s j seconds. i The dead rats having been picked up and I carried out of the court, there was a loud . call t > have them counted, to which the Manager instantly assented, stating, that he was aware there were not a hundred rat# killed, but this was owing to heir having*, fought among themselves in the cages, and; killed each other ; added to which, die full I compliment had not been furnished by his Grace, Ills Grace instantly stepped forward to* defend himself, and asserted, that he had! brought tiM) rats the night before, but a great j number of them had died. T ie Manager then said, that on the dead bodies being counted, Hilly would “ tackle to” the same number, and thus the compa rative merits ot the dogs would be seen as well as it there had been a thousand. This was pronounced lair—the rats were counted, and there appeared to he sixty-five. The stage was then clear tl for Hilly, and a fresh lot of rats introduced—they seemed I stronger, larger, and more lively than the, last, and were evidently more numerous.— Tlie M i uager, however, said he would give all dial in—and the introduction of Billy produced a general cheer—watches were out, and the work of destruction commen ced. Hilly soon proved himself an out and outer, and the quickness of his execution excited general astonishment. His mouth was also washed over, and renewed his task, till at last not a rat remained alive to squeak his apprehensions. The work of counting them look place, and it was found that the number destroyed amounted to ninety ; and on a comparison of time, it was ascertained that Hilly had effected lus execution in the short space of seven minutes and thirty se conds —tints killing 90 rats in less time by one minute ami fifteen seconds, than the Kentish bitcli had been killing 6a. The su- periority was of course manifested, but we apprehend the decision of the match must ue postponed, as the terms of the articles, “ one hundred tats a-side,” was not com plied with. After the performance of those feats, there were two excellent dog fights—a fight be tween a Staffordshire dog anil the badger— anil a trial of two good dogs at Bruin, and thus closed 'he pastime of the night, to tlie great satisfaction of " an enlightened anil overflowing house.” FROM THE NEW YORK GAZETTE, JULY 2G. V\a>jU. ; In yesterday’s Gazette we published the fact of the recognition by France of the Independence of Hayti. We have since been favoured with letters and papers from Fort au Prince to the lOtli inst. inclusive, which confirm this intelligence, but say nothing of the terms on which the recog nition is said to have taken place. Tne Faille da commerce of the llKh gives a de tailed account of the proceedings, from which it appears that the negotiations were concluded with the Baron de Mackau, on the 7ih inst. The editor concludes as fol lows : “ At half past nine on the evening of the{ Bth, one of the French squadron, the scur.j Bear noise, departed for France, carrying j with her me treaty ratified by b >tli parties ; which will lei the world know that the Re-| puolic of Hay ti, free and independent, ha.| been recognised as such by tlie authentic act of the French Government.

The independence of Hayti is iat length acknowledged by the mother roun itry j ol course France has certain privileges, j Nothing detailed is yet known, but is stated an indemnification to the Colonists of thirty millions of dollars—six per cent import do tty for five years on French goods in French bottoms from French ports, instead of twelve iper cent, as now paid by all nations—then a little loss tonnage duty. A few droits civiles also awarded to Frenchmen, not how ever extending to the right of holding landed property. ”On the whole, the commerce of Hayti will now be on a much surer footing. Tlie ■ United States will be benefiited—Great Britain may not be so, except for present pendencies—ln the way of business, for the ' moment, nothing is done—all is reioiciii"-, * &c.” That part of the above extract relative to the Colonists, is highly interesting to many * individuals in this country. From the JVcw-Vork .American. 1 Great complaints are made of the delays ‘ in the Court of Chancery, in England.— * Among other facts to show how expensive " all Chancery litigation is, it was stated, tha' > the late Mr. Ricardo apprehending some contest about the disposition of a portion of the property left by him, had set aside in his will a sum of 50,000/. to meet the expenccs of the anticipated Chancery suit. A com ' mission of the two Houses of Parliament had ’ been named to inquire into the subject, at the ! head of which, the Lord Chancellor himself was placed. Os the impropriety of such a 8 selection, Mr. Brougham thus speaks in de t bate. ■ “ That commission was appointed to in quire into the practice of the Court of Chan cery, and the abuses thereof, and whether e those abu-.es were owing to the system it ■ self, or to the conduct of the individual at - the head of the court. And who was select -1 ed to superintend that commission? Who - was called on to control those abuses, and to I carry into elfect the wishes of the legisla ture? Why, John, Earl of Eldon who pre sided in tlie Court of Chancery! (Hear.) No man, he was sure, could point out those abuses better than that noble and learned lord, if he would speak. (A laugh.) But ' he-had not spoken on this subject for a whole year, and he never expected that the nobleand learned lord would speak. (Laugh ter.) I o say that he was surprised at his commission not having done any thing, would be a ludicrous assertion— to declare that he was disappointed at their efforts, would be a laughable assertion, too ludicr ous for the gravity of the subject. Me ex pected nothing from the first, and he had just got what he expected. (A laugh.) A good deal had been said about the commission ap pointed to inquire into the Scotch courts, i’hat, however, was a very different thing. I here they had the assistance of persons (who came from another country, and were ■ free from any of those prejudices which might .stand in the way of improvement; and above ;all, they had the benefit of the advice and .assistance of Lord Eldon in Chancery, (Hear.) However he might disapprove of that noble and learned lord, .s the superin tend.i>t and censor of his own conduct in his own court, he really must say, that he knew no bettor or finer man than he warm id us an inquisitor into the practice of auv I other court. (Hear./ —He was anxious to do justice to his talents—to the acuteness i'd us und ‘islanding—ami to the subtlety of Ids mind : and, admitting these lie de clared that if he belonged to any other i court (save the Court of Chancery) in En gl ind Scotland, or Ireland, he knew no in di riduat whom he should s i little wish to in vestigate the profitable abuses of that court, as the noble & learned lord. He would be a nos! rigid investigator, a most zealous in quisitor into the errors of any other court but Ins own. (Hoar.) To other courts he would •leal the most even-handed justice ; but the noble anti learned lord certainly was not the person whom lie would select to place at the head ot a commission for inquiring into the practice of his own court. (Hear.) He onl v knew of one instance where an indi , vidua! was found just and bdd enough to accuse and condemn himself; and he feared as that individual happened tube a Pope, ! that the noble ami learned lord would from ' a icligious scruple, decline following his example. I'he Pope to whom he alluded had adjudged himself to be burned. He accuser) himself with having committed va jious crimes—such as the pronouncing false judgements, the refusal of judgment, extor- I I m, &.c. &he held himself to be in a state |ol mortal sin. He exclaimed “ Judico me cremiri,” and what followed? “ Etjudica tus suit—et crematus suit—et sanctus suit.” (Laughter.) He feared however, that the noble and learned lord would stick to the estate for life, and that he would not give either to his country or to his sou], the bene lit of his abdication. (Laughter.) He un doubtedly considered his lordship to be the last man who should have been appointed on such a commission. (Hear.”) KARA AVIS. Hearing the other day, of a rare and beautiful bird, which was seen one morn ing last week in the garden of William ; Suaw, Esq. at, the corner of Prince and M-Dougall streets, (New-York,) we ad - i dressed a note to that gentleman, solicit ing a description of the gay stranger from I him. The following is the reply : ‘ [6'owi. Jidv. Gentlemen: —ln reply to your note of i yesterday, requesting to be informed res pecting a singular bird which took its (light . from my garden, and was supposed I the Bird of Paradise, I answer, that, in my r usual rounds yesterday, before sun rise, I * surprised this bird in some long grass at the t foot of my garden. It perched in a lilac ; hedge and so astonished me with its singu i lar appearance, that I suddenly halted, and * silently admired, for a few moments, its - uncommonly beautiful plumage, which it 1 seemed at much pains to adjust. I turned round cautiously, and hastened to the house 1 to awake my family, to see it; but before J any of them got out, and shortly after re t suming my station in the grass, "it reached, t by several efforts, the top of a weeping wil -2 lo,v, which grew near the hedge, and pre :> pared for Hight.—The sun had just risen, and I had but a minute’s time to admire J the changing hues of green, blue, ami gold, 1 which alternately adorned this lovely visi tant. In hopping up the tree it seemed exceedingly cautious of its plumage, par ticularly ot its tail, about which there ap * peared something awkward; but when it - took flight, there was a perfect symmetry ! °f parts and elegant arrangement of plum i age, sufficient to float a bird often times its » size. I have not language to describe the f gracefulness and sublimity of its flight ; but 9 what we might conceive of angelic mo s lion, in reading Milton’s movements of the .) Heavenly messengers, is the best idea I Lean suggest. ; lam intimate with the appearance of most f of the tropical birds of the western hemis i phere, but have never seen any to resem !- ble this. Were it possible fur so delicate a creature to reach us by flight from the . eastern world, 1 should be bold to pro - nounce it the Bird of Paradise. Perhaps it ( r might have escaped from some ship arriv- 1 ing at, or passing Sandy Hook, of which I t a little time will inform us. | There was a light air from the S. W. and i 0 it sprung from the tree as though it would I t, have gone in that direction ; but this, I ' . presume, was to keep its plumage unruffled, I . as it seemed of the most delicate flossy tex- f ) ture. With two or three flaps of its wings s e it rose rapidly, and turned gracefully to the I ,1 East, spreading its wings and tail,and, with i t scarcely any apparent effort, it seemed ra- t ij ther to float than fly. Its course was due t e East, till 1 lust sight of it. ' Yours, respectfully, W.S.

Such, too, is the a • excitement occasioned by an inordinate of a • the atmosphere, that many inflamatury dis- n s eases, as of the eyes, brain, liver, and intes- |, ' tines, are likely to be induced ; and, in- j, t deed several cases of apoplexy and Cholera s : Morbus, have already come to our knovvl- I edge. Many severe attentions of the bow- / • els have also been brought on by the iraprit- f dent use of cool water. The distressing • irritation and spasms produced by taking; t i cold water to excess, when the body is thus ■ heated, may frequently be relieved by the n 1 free use of laudanum anti brandy given in-/ ternally, and hot spirituous fomentations/ 1 applied to the bowels; in some cases, death/ 1 has been manifestly hurried on by too early | p blood-letting. It should be remembered t that there are two stages in these affec ’ tions, which call for different and even • opposite modes of treatment. In the first, j as in the cold stage of fever, the vital puw- y ers are in a measure suspended, approach v i ing to, and sometimes inducing a complete . 1 state ol asphyxia, and immediate death., • H iring this state of insensibility, stimuli, • both eternally and internally, should be I' freely administered until the action of the 1 o 1 heart is renewed, and the sensibility of the|- system is restored.—Until these objects arei T ■ attained, the use of the lancet is totally!, » inadmisahle. The second stage displays itsell by more or less arterial excitement r ■ —occasioning inflammation of the brain, • stomach, or intestines. The lancet,, cup- c 1 ping, division of the temporal artery, ca- ! , thartics, enemataand blisters, are now call i ed for, to be used with promptness and de • cision, especially when the patient has too * 1 frequently indulged in spirituous drinks. I The distressing names and retching which 1 is common in these affections, we have found 1 - to be the most readily overcome by the ap- * plication of hot and moist peppermint leaves ‘ ; to the region of the stomach. They are ! : the most conveniently applied, by putting 1 ■ a sufficient quantity of the lea>es between 1 ’ two pieces of cloth, then pouring upon them J ; boiling water and with something provided : f° r the purpose, quickly pressing sufficient ; Iy dry, to apply to the region of the stomach ' ■as hot as the patient can bear. We have I - often found this simple remedy to allay the 1 ; most urgent vomiting, when the stomach re- 1 i j cted every other prescription. j W 11 PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN A THUNDER 1 STORM. i ' Ferguson, in his introduction to electri-p • city, says, “ persons who are fond of shoot 1 1 ing ought never to go out with their guns 1 I when there is any appearance of thunder, 1 for as all metal attracts the lightning, if it!' ■ should happen to break upon the gun barrel, > • the man who carries the gun would be in 1 the most eminent danger of his life. If lie I sees a thunder cloud near him, the best ! F thing he could do would be to set the gun| < ■ upright in the ground against any thing that' i t would keep it in that position, and run from!! > it as fast as possible ; and then if the thun- l r tier should happen to break down upon the t [ gun barrel, it would run down thereby to! > the ground. £ ; As water is conductor of lightning, a per- ' • son whose hat and clothes is well wetted s 1 will be in less danger from his head, because!® si most of it will run down to the ground byjt ; his wet clothes. No person ought to go near ' 1 the trees, or stand below their tops in time t ! of thunder, for if it should happen to break I s upon the top of the tree under which he • - stands, the tree would conduct the light-!® , ning to his body. When it thunders, peo- I - pie in a room should keep as far from the i - walls as possible, especially from that wall • , in which the chimney is, because, when 1 j lightning comes down a chimney, it gene- f , rally spreads about the adjoining wall. It < - would be advisable for them to put the mo-!l I ney out of their pockets. In short, they ' - should have no kind of metal about them if I - they can help it. < [ The Murder of John Rudder, —The eld- , est daughter of the late John Rudder, who ’ was inhumanly murdered on Saturday even ' ing last, whilst asleep in bed, in his house in , Princess Anne county, has been apprehen- . . ded and is now in gaol, as the murderer of J I her father!

STORY OF AMPATO SAPA. This beautiful spot in the Mississippi [Falls of St. Anthony,] is not without a tale to hallow its scenery, and heighten the in terest which, of itself, it is calculated to pro duce. To Wazekota, an old Indian, we are indebted for the narration of the following: transaction, to which his mother was an eye witness. An Indian of the Dacato nation had united himself early in life to a youthful female, whose name was Ampato Sapa, which signifies the dark day; with her he lived happily for several years, apparently enjoy ing every comfort which the savage life, can afford. Their union had been blessed with two children, on whom both parents doated with that depth of feeling which is unknown to such as have other treasures besides those that spring from nature. The man had ac quired a reputation as a hunter, which drew round him many families, whp were happy to place themselves under his protection, and avail themselves of such part of his chase as L he needed not for the maintenance of his f family. Desirous of strengthening their in- I terest with him, some of them invited him t* i form a connexion with their family, observino , at the same time, that a man of his talent and importance required more than one wo man to wait upon tlie numerous guests whom his reputation would induce to visit his lodge. They assured him that he would soon be acknowledged as a chief, and that in this case, a second wife was indispensible. Fired with the ambition of obtaining high honors he resolved to increase his importance by an union with the daughter of an influen tial man of his tribe. He had accordino-ly taken a second wife, without having ever mentioned the subject to his former compan ion. Being desirous to introduce his bride into hi- lodge, in the manner which should be least offensive to the mother of his children for whom he still retained much regard.he in troduced the subject in these words : “ You know,’’said he “ that I can love no woman J so fondly as I doat upon you. With regret I have seen you of late, subjected to toils] which must be oppressive to you, and from which I would gladly relieve you ; yet I know no other way of doing so, than bv as sociating to you in the household duties one, who shall relieve you from the trouble of en tertaining the numerous guests, whom my growing importance in the nation collects a ronnd me. f have therefore resolved upon ta king another wife, but she shall always be subject to your control, as will always rank in my affections second to you.’? —With the utmost anxiety, and deepest concern, did his companion listen to this unexpected proposal. She expostulated in the kindest terms, entreated him with all the arguments which undisguised love and the purest conjugal affection could suggest. She replied to all the objections which* his implicity led him to raise. Desirous of win ning her from her opposition, the Indian still concealed the -ecretofhis union with another, whil# she redoubled all her care to convince him that she was equal to the task imposed upon her. When he again spoke on the subject, she pleaded all the endear ments of their past life—she spoke of his former fondness for her, of hi? regard for her happiness and that of their mutual oft snring—she bade him beware of the conse quences of this fatal purpose of his. Find ing her bent upon withholding her consent to this plan, he informed her that all oppo sition on her part was unnecessary, as he had already selected another partne- ; and ♦hat if she could not see his new wife as a friend, she must receive her as a necessary incumberance, for he had resolved that she should be an inmate in his house. Dis tressed at this information, she watched her opportunity, she stole away from th#-ra bin with her infants, and fled to a distance where her father was. With him she re mained until a partv of Indians with whom he lived went up the Mississippi on a win ter hunt. In (he Spring, as they were re turning with their canoes, loaded with pel tries, they encamned near the falls. In the morning, as they left it, she lingered near the spot, then launched her, light canoe, en tered into it with her children and paddled down the stream singing her death song. 100 late did her friends perceive it—their attempts to prevent her from proceeding were of no avai I—she was heard to sing in a dolefu* voice, the past pleasures which she had enjoyed, while she was the undivi ded object of her husband’s affhetion—final ly her voice was drowned in the smthjd of the cataract-—the current carried down her frail bark with an inconceivable rapidity— it came to the edge of the precipice, was seen for a moment enveloped with spray, but never alter was a trace of the canoe or its passengers seen. Yet it is stated by the Indians that often in the morning a voice had been heard to sing a doleful ditty along the edge of the fall I, and that it dwells ever upon the inconstancy ot her husband. Nay, more assert that her spirit has been seen wandering near the spot with her children wrapped to her bosom Such are the tales or traditions which the Indians treasure up and which they relate to the voyager, forcing a tear from the eyes of the most relentless. Important. —The Newark Eagle states that a table spoonful of Spirit of Camphor is an infallible remedy against the fatal effects of drinking cold water in warm weather Two instances have come to our knowledge in which death has been prevented by tins means.
