na’ural and moral Philosophy, Rhetoric, Criticism,
and Heathen Mythology; to which are added the
ornamental branches of Female education, to wit,
Music, Drawing, Painting, &c. In both depart
ments there were afforded the most gratifying evi
dences of laudable emulation and industry on the
part of the scholar, and of the most unremitting at
tention, skill, and ability on the part of the Precep

attainments joined to the most unwearied punctuali

only to the thanks and .approbation of parents and
guardians immediately interested in the school, but
highly recommend them to public patronage. Of
the last, MLs Henrietta Broad assumes the entire

of her qualification to teach these highly ueefu! and
pleasing branches, and that she has been punctual
and assiduous, in the performance of her duty. It
mu3t be matter of pleasing intelligence, that this in
stitution is in such a flourishing condition.

POLITICAL MARKET.
Neiv- York, Matj 24th, .1827.
Messrs. Cropper, Benson, & Co.
Gentlemen,—Since our last advices, things
arc taking a strange turn in this country,
and some of the most fearful consequences
are apprehended by the knowing ones. We
ourselves, are vfery far from a quiet state of
feeling as to^he main result of the business
to which w^ called your attention as per
last dates. We hold up, however, as though
we were free from alarm, and profit as much
as any can, nt> better backed than we are,
from imposing Appearances. If things go
to pieces, you, know we lose nothiq^ Ours
has never beefr any thing but a false f/ipital,
either in credit or character; ancMvhatever
confidence we sustained, it was Arer with
out its just and due proportion of^ispicion
If you recollect,, we hinted, in former Intel
ligence, the unkam condition of onb or two
houses, and th^t a few weeks would bring to
light what might he. the prospect of holding
out against their then increasing-pressure.
We have now to sav, affairs with them are
hopeless,-and, with them several other
failures must occur.
The old house of Gales Seaton, has
given way. Peter Force fy Co. are strongly
suspected ; but you know there never was
much confidence in this firm. Besides its
want of skill and principle, its business was
left to too many hands. Its capital was too
scattered and shifting, and its manager
were too loose and conceited. But these are
not ^ie worst appearances : that fine, and
what was considered solid and extensive co
partnership between Adams, Clay, }Veb
ster, dp Co. is much shaken, and a great
many go so far as to believe that it is wind
ing up its business: some, indeed, are ill-
natured enough to foretell, and offer a wa
ger, that they will actually stop payment in
March 1829. Of this opinion, we regret, to.
say, we aro among the number, and you
know we hayo some right to judge, having
a large epneern in their under business. If
its other branches get along no better than
ours, they are sure to fail, and of one thing
we know we are entirely certain, that long
before that time we shall have experienced
the fate of poor Gales dp Seaton.
-Whiles on this last subject, it may he a
matter of some interest to let you know
how they sunk.—If you recollect, they were
doing business largely for the two old houses
of Congress <$• Co. and when Adams, Clay,
Webster, & Co. set up, Gales & Seaton
wanted to do a large branch of their busi
ness also, jnnd notwithstanding they had a
stiff quarrel with the first name of that firm
upon the soundness of his currency, and was
most shabbily treated by the second member
\>f -the concern, who withdrew his business
from their management, under such circum
stances as to excite the pity of every body,
yet the patronage of the firm was so invi
ting that they made all due submission, un
asked and undesired. This double dealing,
cringing, shill ing, and reaching kind of con
duct, at the^xpense of character and prin
ciple, aroused the suspicion of one of the
old firms above mentioned; the one that is
considered here the most vigilant, temperate,
and prudent in all its wide-spread concerns.
It set about an Examination into
of Gales & Seaton, and found
is thought here, that all the difficulties of
the Adams house, have sprung, in the first
place, from tluWlissipated character of thc
middle name of the firm; it is said that he
is good at all kinds of games, but particu-
of explanation about them.—Gales & Sea
ton, as all sinking houses generally do, make
a great splutter about their honesty, offer to
make a full exhibit of their affairs, maintain
they are yet solvent, and, although their cre
dit is as low as it can be, pledge themselves
they will be able to meet all their engage
ments, and, indeed, offer to make some
sweat discoveries; by which it will appear,
they say, that the old firm, above referred
to, is itself in a tottering condition. They
affirm they have seen these suspicious
“ signs ” a long time ago, but kept it to
themselves; and now, that they wish to
come out with these wonders, nobody will
believe them; for, to tell you the truth, (not
common, you know, with us,) these Ameri
cans are such a watchful, jealous-minded,
suspicious-hearted kind of people, that when
they sec the disclosure of facts, mixed up
with malice, or, if you choose a softer term,
with resentment, disdppointment, chagrin,
strong interest, or such like hurtful passions,
always at war with truth, they give a kind of
eye-shutting, head-wagging contradiction to
the matter, and wont believe one word of
what they hear. You know, even on your
side of the water, the worst kind of charac
ters are those that turn King’s evidence at
the Old Bailey; and on such testimony, a
cut-throat would not be convicted, unsup
ported by other evidence. Now Gales &
Seaton, every body believes, are urged on
by Adams, Clay, Webster, & Co.; for you
must understand, that between this firm and
the aforesaid branch of the old Congress
firm, there is a considerable rivalry: the
latter has made so many runs upon the for
mer, and seem to set in upon them with so
many heavy drafts, that all the world can
not save them if this current is not averted;
hence Gales & Seaton are made to say,
that while they were transacting business
for the old Seriate firm, (as it is distinguish
ed from the other house of Congress & Co.)
they found out a number of secrets, which,
if known to the public, would so affect their
credit as almost to occasion a suspension of
business. They give out that several of the
main members of the firm, tp wit, Yan Buren,
Benton, Dickerson, Chandler, Tazewell,
Macon, Hayne, Bcfrien, ■ and the Smiths,
have embezzlejJitho)/tmd%«rid so mismana
ged the stock, that?''some of these 'days,
there will'be a dreadfuf ~ blow-up of that old
house, and alt its partners will become bank
rupt. They say, All the clerks and out
agencies are under the controul of Yan Bu
ren, and he lias lately been riding about the
country collecting the debts of the firm; and
when'he thinks he is strong enough, he will
break from his associates, make a run upon
Adams, Clay, Webster, & Co., push them
to bankruptcy, and then set up for himself
upon their ruins. It is further said, that
this plan will receive the unqualified aid of
the southern merchants, and that larg^ re
mittances will be made in cotton, their prin
cipal article of trade, if successful collections
can be made from the outstanding arrears
due the old house of Virginia, Carolina, &
Co. a firm lately conducted by William II
Crawford & Co. who, notwithstanding he
retired from business for a short time, is out
again, ’tis said, making preparations to ho
nour any drafts that may he drawn on him
to cripple the monopolizing operations of the
coalition, as the Adams house is called.
This, Webster, the prime agent of his own
firm, foresees, and has gone largely into the
banks of Boston, and, indeed, is extending
his negociations into all the New-England
factories, against whom, by the by, he was
lately v.ery much opposed, to bring about a
union between the old rival Federal and Re
publican houses, that were so long contend
ing against each other about the office and
pi'ivilege commerce. He .tells them that
the opposition tq his firm is 11 unprincipled,”
and arises entirely• from the fact, that his
leading partner wont enter into the slave
trade; that his conscience, (being a very
pious Unitarian,) will not suffer him to en
gage in that wicked iraffick; and for this,
and this only reason, they want to destroy
his credit.
To prop also the declining affairs of the
Adams concern, one Hammond, said to be
a political bandit, and fully up to any savage
and ruffian purpose, has been employed to.
swear that all the large and well assorted
slock, lately laid in by the firm of Jackson
Calhoun, & Co. has been acquired by pira
cy, and that adultery, murder, and every
other horrid crime lies at the bottom of this
suddenly raised house, if the mystery could
be cleared up. Be this as it may, now the
report is out, if they do not establish the
fact, it is one of those shocking sorts of
slander that must recoil upon its fabricators.
At present it has not affected the stocks in
which the Jackson firm deals; they fully
support former prices, and indeed, in Virgi
nia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and v it is
thought in this state too, they have gone a
shade higher; at all events, business is brisk,
and holders seem determined not to let go.
In the states already mentioned, and in
many other quarters, there have been large
meetings of the holders, and they have re
solved to remain firm, being unwilling to
submit to any reduction by the coalition
at this very game. lie has been very in
temperate, often been intoxicated upon Gre
cian flip, South American cock-tail, and
Gunpowder bitters, and the like light-mixed
and head-turning liquors ; and when in this
condition he is a very fighting character.—
Withal, drunk or sober, it is believed he has
so great a love for himself, that he will stick
at nothing to promote his own views ; and
with this acknowledged quality by all his
friends, he entered into the present connec
tion with his partner, Adams, with whom,
but a few months before, there was not only
an implacable competition in dealing, but
actually an unsettled account, for which an
action had been cffgmenced; but, all at
once, the suit is dropped, no settlement takes
place, the parties become not only reconci
led, but positively^entcr into copartnership ;
now, this strango affair weakens public con
fidence in the transactions of this firm ; for
the life of these cunning Americans, they
can not help thinking some one is to be cir
cumvented—some specidation in the wind. In
the next place, their assortment was very
injudicious,^ no means suiting this mar
ket. The ^toerican people are a very
plain, saving, simple sort of people, delight
ing not at all in extravagance. The firm
opened with a grand display of fancy goods,
such as aqueducts, rail-roads, sky houses,
and such like toys, too tedious to mention,
intended to break down tae long established
and frugal habits of the-plain dealing States,
fitted entirely to the splendid notions of thc
Aristocr.acy of Europe, where, in every ten
thousand men, nine thousand nine hundred
and ninety-nine labour for the exclusive,
gratification o&the thousandth man. These
unsaleable articles, together with an unusual
extravagance on the part of the firm, indulg
ing in every species of luxury, down even
to the use of gaming tables, added to high
and unnecessary salaries to their agents,
among whom, we are obliged to say, were
some of our own kin, may doubtless be
reckoned some of the leading causes of the*
increasing embarrassments S»f the unlucky
house of Adams, Clay, Webster, & Co.
Wc are glad to hear of the changes on

PROM THE SEW-TORK MORNING COURIER.
In a conversation which I had yesterday,
with the talented and sprightly Editor of a
morning paper, in relation to the next Presi
dential election, I was forcibly struck with
the shrewdness and justice of his observa
tions.
“ The truth is,” said he, “ politicians, and
ambitious and aspiriug men, are opposed to
the elevation of General Jackson, because
they can make no bargains with him ; but
the great body of the-people have willed it,
and if all the leading politicians, and all the
editors of newspapers in the United States,
were now to combine against him, they
could not prevent his election. Finding
that .he tide of popular feeling Is sitting so
strong in favour of the Hero of New Orleans,
that resistance to it would be vain, the most
sagacious politicians have determined to
