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, $30,000. 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. Proceedings ol Council. Council Chamber,?
