Police, liowsiree'. — Love at first -Sight,\vj
cl untamvocul HVoWiil —Yesterday a re
m.itkubiy pretty looking girl, ‘if in' t resting'lV
and ill*.iicale anance, apjnre.Hly abuu ,s (
nineteen years of age, who stated her name,
to bo Elizabeth Fai .sw -i h, was tn> oght u> s
Shi* office by Mr. I’hoiwts, tin; superinten-j«
dent of Police, and j*!a«ed before she Maftt»-|b
irate*, charged l>v a young man, named Mar- j
shall, with annoying him, and assaultinghim v
in the street and other plates. I
The complainant slated that he never
taw the female before thuir Wot* nips tillji
ln»( Friday tnree weeks, when she stopped >\
him, and accosted him in 'hi* street, nearj)
'he house of hit employer, and in an implor-||
in” manner, with accents of apparent dis-j>
tress of mi id, said, “I entreat join pardon I
Sir, but i wish to speak to you, if you will
allow mr.” She was a period stranger to
him; and he was astonished at the appeal;.!
hut at once said, “If you have any thing to ;
say, Madam, I will listen with great plea-jl
sure.” The defendant replied, “Oil! yes, r
sir, I have a gieat deal to say. lam given!
to understand that you are a married man, s
and th : father of five children—for Heaven t
Mskej relieve my anxiety —is that the fact?” s
Witness at once declared that such was nol i
the fad, and in return, interrogated her -
why she made so very strange, an inquiry ol [
film, to whom she must b; a perfect stran-|
;or? Upon which she said, “Piay
me, Sir ; I have conceived an attachment j
to you, which 1 li.id every attempt in vain
to suppress—it is unconquerable. Pity and <
forgive me, but suffer me to see you now i
and then.” Witness hardly knew what to t
make of so romantic an incident, and ao
singular an avowal; but he declined to en- t
ter into any explanation as to his situation
in life, or where he resided, and they •
parted. <
In a few days afterwards the defendant i
again stopped him in the street, and accost- j
cd him in a similar strain. He then asked i
her if she was of respectable lamily, and il 1
she had any expectations? She replied tha' ;
her father was highly r spcctable as regard
ed his connections, and that he had an an
nuity, besides the prospect of considerable
property from relations who were far ad
vanced in life. Still, however, the witness
had on unconquerable objection to this mode
of commencing a courtship, and he begged
but most respectfully, to decline any further
acquaintance with a lady to whom he had
never been introduced, and of whom he of
course knew nothing, when she cried bitter
)y, and went away. Oi the following Bun
day she went to the house of the witness’s
employer, and cieoted a great dis urbance,
because she was denied; and at length be !
came *o violent, that the Servan's were com- 1
petted to turn her into the street. On the 1
following Wednesday the witness received
« letter, of which the following is a verba
turn copy :
January 2 1832.

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
JANUAKV PERM, 18J2.
Saml. A. Worcester, Plaintiff in Error,
vs
The State of Georgia.
In error to the Superior Court for the
County of Gwinnett, in the State of Geor
gia. ,
Tds cause came on to be heard on (he
transcript ol the record from the Superior
Court f"r the County of Gwinnett, in the
Siatc of Georgia, and was argued by coun-l
set ; on consideration whereof, it is the
opinion of this Court, that the act of the Le
gislature of the Stale of Georgia, upon which
the indictment in this case is founded, is
con'rary to the Constitution, Treaties and
Laws of the United Stales ; and that the
spiclal plea in bar pleaded by the said Sam
uel A. Worcestcr, in manner afoiesaid,
and relying upon the Constitution, Trea
ties and Laws of the United Siaies afore
said, is a good bar and defence to the said
indictment by the said Samuel A. Worces
ter ; and as such ought to have been al
lowed and admitted by the said Supeiior
Court for the County of Gwinnett, in the
State of Georgia, before which the said in
dictment was pending and tried ; and that
there was error in the said Superior Court
of the State of Ga. in overruling the plea so
pleaded as aforesaid. It is therefore ordered
and adjudged, that (he Judgment rendered
in the piemises by the said Superior Court
of Ga. upon the verdict upon the plea of Not
Guilty afterwards pleaded by (lie said Sam
uel A. Worcester ; whereby the said Sam
uel A. Worcester is sentenced to hard la
)ur in the penitentiary of the State of Geor- .
tin, ought to be reversed and annulled. And i
ids Court, proceeding to render such Ju-lg-'<
eent as the said Superior Court of the State! t
d Georgia should have rendered, it is fur-jt
her ordered and adjudged that the said i
udgment of (he said Superior Court be, !
'id hereby is, reversed and annulled ; and t
hat Judgment be, and hereby is, awarded;t
'at the special plea in bar, sn as aforesaid I
leaded, is a good and sufficient plea in bar,| \
j law, to the indictment aforesaid, and that'i
proceedings on the said indictment do 1
never surcease, and that the said Sami. A. «
orcesfer be, and he hereby is, henceforth i
istntsscd therefrom, and that he go thereof u
nt without day. And that a special man- a

The Resolution for sending a committee!
to visit the Bank of the United States, was
finally deposed of, in the House of Repre
sentatives, at so iate an hour on Wednesday
ntght, that wo had not time to say a word
in our last concerning it ; nor shall we now!
say much. |
S-> Car as concerns the Bank, the passage;
of the Resolution cannot have any other than |
a beneficial effect, if it shall appear, as we;
believe it will, that its niTiirs have been ad - i
ministered for the public good, and wkh,
intents purely honest.
In so lar as the measure concerns (lie
! Country, we consider it not merely useless
but injurious. It is useless, because it was
irequested and supported by those upon
whose vote in regard to the Bank, if the
committee should find the administration of
the Bank • o hsve been »s pare as white
robed innocence, their report will not have
[the smallest influence. It is injurious, be
cause of the time it has already been the
leause of consuming in unprofitable Debate,
but siii! more so because of the time which
is to be spent upon the enquiry. The time
thus lost is not that of the committee mere
ly, but the lime of all Congress ; for it is
[clear that tiie House of Representatives
.cannot go on to act upon any question of
limporlance in the absence of seven of its
j Members by its own order. To do so would
; be in cttect to disfranchise seven Cungrcs
-1 sional districts, in reference to all such le
gislation. The effect, then, of instituting
i this inquiry will be, beyond doubt, to pro
long the session about the same number of
! days as are occupied in the inquisitorial vis
it of the committee to the Bank. We are
not quite sure, indeed, whether it would
1 n °l be for the public interest for both Hou
ses to adjourn from this day to the 21st day
of next month. We say nothing of the
expenditure of public money by the prolon
gation of ihe Session, because it is a sub
ordinate consideration, and ought to have
no effect as an argument against the inv.
ligation, if any one could predd t any h
fit whatever to flow from it.
I’he friends of the Ban! ~ the Unit*;
States will have seen will- o -■* (bat
[there is a clear majority of i .. «, of
Representatives not deteimined against it,
though a formidable party opposition has
i been arrayed against it, adding strength to
_ 1 le opposition to it on the grounds of eith
! er unconstiititionality or inexpediency. The
i majoiity in favor of Mr. Adams’ amend
ment was fourteen votes ; and the object
and effect of that amendment was to con
i fine the inquiiy to legitimate objects, and
to ensure a Report from the Committee in
time (or Congress to act upon the Bank
question at the present Session. If Mr.
Everett had persisted in hia motion to tip
point the Committee by ballot, that motion
100 would probably have been carried, it
is not so important now that it was not, see
ing that the Committee appointed by the
Speaker is a very (air one,

thousand and six hundred pounds in notes
on the Bank of England, and fled from Lon

this (own on Sunday the 11 th inst, and three
thousand three hundred and ten pounds re- 1
covered. The circumstances leading to the!
detection are these; Glow came to Colum-j
bus about a fortnight previous to his arrest,!
under the assumed name of Thomas Scott, 1
and stopped at the Hotel of Messrs, Pcm-’i

rival he offered to the proprietors of the!
house in which he lodged, a Bank of Eng
land note for one hundred pounds, with a t
request that they would get it exchanged, as
his American funds were nearly exhausted.!
Glew est rod the note for four hundred dol-i
jars, which induced Messrs. Poiuroy &
Montague to believe either that (he note was!
not genuine, or that Glew oh ained il frau- |
duleully. Without revealing their suspi-j
cions, Messrs. P, &, M. requested Glew to
enclose the nolo in a letter to a gentleman!
in Mobile whom they named, and to which I
letter they added a postscript desiring the 1
exchange of the oo'e. On the reception of!
