to the advertisement of Messrs. Van Nonoxir
and Foster, which will be found in another col
umn.
The schooner G. W. Wetter, at New Orleans
from Tampico, brought $150,935 in specie, con
signed to various merchants of that city.
By the arrival at New Orleans of the brig
Samuel Houston, from Matagorda, which place
•he left on the 28th ult., the editors of the Bee
have received the Colorado Gazette of the 21st
ult.
That paper confirms the news of the capture
of Matamoras by the allied Texians and federal
ists. The action lasted three days, and many
were killed on both sides, among whom were
sixty Americans.
The Washington Factory at Newark, N. J.
was destroyed by fire on the 21st inst. Loss,

Mr. Webster.— The Hon. Daniel Webster
and family have arrived at New V ork, in the
Ship Mediator from London.
The Philadelphia American Daily Advertiser,
which has for more than thirty-nine years been
conducted by Mr. Zachariah Poulson, has been
sold by that gentleman and bis son to the editors
of the Philadelphia North American, and will
henceforward be merged in the latter paper.—
Poulson’s Advertiser was the first daily newspa
per published on the American Continent.
Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.
Washington, January 1, 1840.
I look, with some solicitude, to the next meet
ing of the House, on Friday. By an order, al
ready adopted, petitions are to ha received from
the several States, the call commencing with
Maine. The number of abolition petitions ready
to be poured in from the eastern States is verv
great. There is no restraint whatever, upon their
introduction, reading, reference, or discussion.—
They will be discussed; and, as you may imag
ine, the debate cannot be very temperate or order
ly. It is unfortunate that some rule was not
adopted to prevent the agitation of this subject;
but it appears that, from want of concert, and di
versity of opinion, it will be very difficult to bring
the House to any particular rule. A large ma
jority of the House arc openly in favor of the
propsition of Mr. Chinn, of Louisana, to refer
the petitions, without debate, to a Select Com
mence, with the understanding that the Com
mittee shall be composed chiefly of Southern men,
and make a strong and satisfactory report against
the object of the petitioners. But this mode ac
knowledges the right of Congress to act on the
subject; it permits the reception and the consid
eration of the petitions, and may servo only to
encourage instead of checking the progress of
fanaticism.
An assult upon the independence of the Fed
eral Judiciary is seriously meditated. Mr. Tap
pan, of Ohio, has proposed, in the Senate, to
amend the Constitution so as to limit the term of
the Judges to seven years. Should this innova
tion be allowed, the term will soon be reduced to
one year; and the Federal Courts will become
the loot-ball of party.
Tallabasske, Dec. 28.
On Thursday of last week a party of Indians
attacked a wagon on the Federal road, near the
Ocilla river, fired on the driver and guard,
wounding two men and killing another. Three
were on the road loaded with provisions—the
horses were detached, and the drivers and guard
fled, 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 Monticello was
attacked by Indians and burnt to the ground.
The family made their excape.— Floridian.
Latest form Caxtox.—The ship Morris
on, at New York, brings advices from Canton to
the 27th July.
The difficulties at Canton had received no
modification whatever, but were rather increasing;
and it is thought foreign trade will be entirely
supended soon, and that further serious interrup
tions to tranquility will occur. Foreigners of alt
nations (save a few Americans.) had left Canton
with all their equipage, cither for their respective
countries or Macao.
From the Philadelphia United States Gazette.
Cairo. —We take pleasure in giving place to
the following, for it shows, that notwithstanding
the “state of the times,” one of the most impor
tant enterprises of the age is rapidly progressing,
and affords employment to a large number o.
hands. The immense result cannot bo doubled,
with the capital at the 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, for
transhipment to various parts of the country.
Unless you are well acquainted with the geo
graphical position of Cairo, you will not under
stand that here the waters of the Ohio unite with
the Mississippi, and that this place is acce ssihle
at all seasons of the year for the largest class of
steamboats, and even ships. Smallers boats are
here taken for the Upper Mississippi and the
Ohio, and for the tributary streams of those two
great highways.
This place, with the aid of English capital, is
now rapidly progressing with its improvements.
—Already saw-mills, foundries, machine and
workshops, dwellings and stores, of various de
scriptions, give indication of the ncucleus of a
great and prosperous city. Certainly there is no
position in the whole West where the mechanic
arts can he carried on with more success, espe
cially the manufacture of iron, ship and steam
boat building, and every branch of business con
nected with iron work. The Tennessee 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 to day, there is but 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 place
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:— “We
learn with regret that Paymaster R. A. Forsyth
was dismissed from the Army a few days since,
by order of the President of the U. S„ for a de
falcation of about $15,000 in his accounts.
“By resignation and death, and consequent
promotion, all the field officers of the 4th regi
ment of infantry were changed within three days
—a remarkable event that may not occur once in
20 or 30 years, in lime of peace.
Col. Cummings, vice Cutler, resigned.
Lieut. Col. Garland, vice Foster, deceased.
Major Stamford, vice Riley, promoted.
In reference to the numerous paragraphs that
have appeared in many papers, to the effect that
a court martial was about to sit in Philadelphia,
tor the trial of Com. Elliott, the Chronicle em
phatically says that no court martial has yet been
ordered.
More Steamboat Disasters. —The Knic
kerbocker struck a snag near the mouth of the
Ohio Dec. 10th, and fortunately fell in with a
keel boat, which saved the passengers. She than
sank; cargo lead; time-fourths of wich ($15,-
000) is insured at Louisville. Tac Gen. Raines
was snagged on the Ohio near the Wabash.—
The Return, with a heavy freight 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 transportation 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.
Mahriade of the Queen of Exgi.axd.—
On the 23d of November an “Extraordinary Ga
zette” 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 be summoned at the
present time in order that I may acquaint you
with my resolution in a matter which deeply con
oerns the welfare of my people and the happiness
of my future life.
“ It is my intention to ally myself in marriago
with the Prince Albert of Baxe Coburg and Go
tha.
“ Deeply impressed with the solemnity of the
engagement which I am about to contract, I have
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 felicity, and serve the
interests of my country.
“I have thought _fit to make this resolution
known to you at the earliest period, in order that
you may be fully apprised ofa matter so highly
important to me and my kingdom, and which I
persuade myself will be most acceptable to all 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 be made public; which her Majesty was
pleased to order accordingly.
The Editor of the Army & Navy Chronicle
states that he has seen a living specimen of the
horned frog, whose existence was many years
ago strongly doubted. The body resembles that
ofa frog, and is about the same size, but the skin
is like that of the lizard—scaly—and it has a tail,
half as long as the body, tapering to a point. It
was in rather a torpid state, the climate being too
cold for it. This frog was brought from Fort
Towson, by Lieut. Willot Mabtix, of the 3d
infantry, as a present from an officer stationed
there to Col. Hook of Washington.
The Vicksburg Sentinel of the 14th 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. Dcnnistoun. of New Orleans. It ap
pears that a short time ago the Brandon Bank
had ordered the President of the Bank of Lex
ington, J. De W. Smith, to draw $150,000, at
the North, being the balance of its 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 took therefrom $38,000 in
specie, licing a special deposit to the credit of said
Smith. Returning to Vicksburg, the Marshal,
; f ter apprising Smith of his object, broke open
Smith’s trunks, and took therefrom, $6,000 in
notes, belonging to the Brandon Bank. Deputy
marshals were sent to New Orleans and else
where to seize money belonging to the Brandon
Bank, which, with the above already secured,
will make the 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
Bank.
No less than twenty-eight printers lost their
lives at Fannin’s massacre in Texas. Printers
are always among the first to dip into any allair
where the liberties of their fellow men are at
stake, or the yoke of an oppressor needs to be
broken. — Picayune.
It is the custom in New Orleans to farm out
the Markets annually. For the coming year, the
Beet market of that city has been rented for $54,-
400, being $3,100 more than last year, and the
vegetable market for $30,000, being an advance
of $2700.
Case of Poisoning. — A diabolical attempt
was made to poison the family of Mr. Hoyt, the
collector. Some person brought a package of cof
fee to his house, purporting to came from a man
ufactory in the Bowery, with compliments to Mr.
Hoyt, and wished him to try its superior quality.
Mr. H. look the precaution to send it to the police.
There was no such place in the Bowery as that
indicated. Mr. Chilton analyzed the package
and found it largely impregnated with arsenic—
some say one-third its weight.—A. V. Times.
