independent paper, you will oblige
A COUNTRY SUBSCRIBER.
In the days of John, King of Atri, an ancient
city of Arhbruzzo, there was a bell put up, which
any person that had received an injury went
and rang, and the King assembled the wise men
©hosen for the purpose, that jusrice might be
done. It happened that after the bell had been
up a long time, the rope was worn out,-and a
piece of. wild vine was made use of to lengthen
it. Now there was a knight of Atri, who had a
noble charger, which had become unserviceable
through age, so that to avoid the expence of
feeding him, be turned him loose upon the Com
mon.
The horse driven by hunger, raised his mouth
to the vine to maunch it, and pulling it, the bell
rang—the judges assembled to consider the pe
tition of the horse, which appeared to demand
ju3tice—they decreed th3t the knight whom ht
had sewed in his youth, should feed him in his
old age f a sentence which the King confirmed
under a heavy penalty.
Mr, Editor:
1’ wish, through the medium of your useful
paper, to inform one of my female acquaintan
ces, of a'particular error thatsome of her friends
have led her into.—(You must know in the first
place that I am an Old Bachelor , and care hut
little for the fashions of the world.) —I was a
few evenings since in company with her; on
the next mornir.g 1 was directed by a friend of
hers, who ielt for Npw York, to deliver a mes
sage to her ; I accordingly called that evening,
and was informed that “the lady was out;” I
called the next forenoon, “ the lady was out
the nfext evening, “ the lady was outby
chance, I saw her at the window once on my
approach to the house ; and l am informed by a
female friend, that this same lady said that she
“ could not receive my addresses.”! Now, Mr.
Editor, the message is not yet delivered, and I
wish o inform her that it will be time enough
to sing out, when she is hurt CtELEBS.

THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
The Connecticut Courant of the 29th ult.
says, much attention begins to be shewn, in that
Stale, to the question who shall be our next
President —The paper adds.—“As far aS We
have been ablg to collect public opinion froih
different parts of this State, it is decidedly in<
favor of Mr Adams. We understand a delega
tion from New-York, favoring the claim* of Mr.
Adams, has been here within a few days tc sound
the opinion of the public ” As it regards New-
York, present appearances favor the belief, that
public opinion will he divided between Mr.
Adams and Mr. Clay. There is no knowing
who will be President until after the election
But at present, among the people of this State,
ME Crawford has but a paltry number of friends.

The wife of Mr. Sitler, in Philadelphia, was
delivered of three children, two boys and a girl,
on the 27th ult. What makes it more extraor
dinary says the editor of the Freeman’s Journal,
is, that she had twins the time before.
It is perhaps a remarkable fact, says the Balti
more Patriot, that the wife of an industrious
mechanic of that city, who has been married but
nine years, has brought him thirteen children
at 7 births, viz. at the fo/ir first births twins each
time; at the two next births one each time;
and at the last, which occurred about six weeks
since, three-making in the whole, thirteen;’
a thrifty pair, who deserve a bounty from the
public.

At a public meeting in London, Mr. Hob
house, in the course of a long speech, observed,
he “ lie thought imprisonment for debt, should
be done away with altogether, as it tended to
corrupt the morals of-the people. The individ

able to pdy, acted criminally, and ought to be
punished; but then, he submitted, it ought to
be left to the verdict of a jury.”

that Commissioners have arrived in Mexico from
Spain, with authority to acknowledge the indev

and to fortn a close alliance between the two
I powers. This is a wise measure of the mother
j country, and, at this moment, it would be at
’ once glorious and wise for the government of
, Mexico to accede to it.
Chancellor Kent*s farewell to the Bar. —The
court of chancery (New York) adjourned on the
9th ult when his honor the chancellor took oc
casion, in few unpremeditated, but feeling and
affectionate expressions, to bid farewell to the
. gentlemen
a and electrical—every coun
tenance, every eye filled. The scene was af
[ fecting beyond the power cf words. The speak
’ er and those he addressed were equally moved.
All the bar present involuntarily rose at the
same moment, and Mr. Wells, in a tone and
i manner suitable to the occasion, expressed the
■ poignant regret they all experienced at the se
! natation; and added, that the members of the
i bar would take the proper time to convey the
■ chancellor their high sense of esteem and ven
eration.
Justice without delay. —Twenty-four gentlemen
of the bar, practising in several courts of Lan
caster city and county, have entered into cer
tain resolutions, for the purpose of expediting
business; that they “will notrequireadvt.se
counsel to reduce to writing evidence offered,”
unless its importance imperiously demands it—
■ and that “in addressing courts and juries, they
t will to the utmost of thetr abilities, abridge and
t condense the matter to be delivered” It would
: be well if these resolutions were adopted else
> where; much time would doubtless be saved,
i and justice quite as well administered.

1 Internal Improvement —The states of Ohio and
’ Kentucky have projected a canal by the falls of
Louisville. A canal there, of but two miles and
a half in extent, and the cost of which Would
, not exceed g 150,000, would make the naviga

The efficacy of the system of punishment by
tread mills, is very clearly illustrated by a cir
cumstance stated in a late New-York paper. A
black fellow was brought before the Court of
Sessions of that city on a charge of stealing to
an amount a few cents over 20 dollars. lie
pleaded guilty to the charge; preferring the
State Prison for three or four years, to the Tread
Mill for thirty or sixty days. He was informed
by the Court of the consequences of his plea,
but he persisted in it. The punishment by px
ercising at the tread mill is confined, in cases of
theft, to petty larceny, which is for amounts un
der twenty dollars.
Petitions from all parts of Great-Britain, crow

ing for the total abolition of slavery in their col

tiser of the 24th may, that the petitioners will fail
hr their object, by asking for too much. The
petitions are got .up at this moment, inconse
quence of the publication of the correspoutb-
Ifrcewith the continents powers, upon this
subject, at the late Congress at Verona.

This conveyance being detained, we have to
state that the demand for Cotton, for the past

place on the prices The total sales in the
course of the week have been 24,600 bags, of
which 21,000 are American Cottons, consisting
of 14,400 Uplands, 3,800 New-Orleans, 1,800

been taken on speculation, and chiefly Uplands.

COTTON.—It was generally believed that
the heavy prompt day at the India House on
Friday last, would bring several lswge parcels
of Cotton on the market at prices a shade under
what had been paid at the last India s!ile ; there
were, however, few paieels pressing upon the
market, and although one or two purchases
could be made at a small decline, yet the reduc

The piece signed “ Put Lux,” is laid on the

writ dr has conceived, is too new, and too wild,

He requires too much faith. We have note
nough of that commodity to swallow Camels;
neither can his remarks persuade our readers
that their reasons are Dromedaries, to bear the
whole load of new doctrine he would inculcate.
The religion we profess can receive no new
dignity by its becoming the subject of new dis

opened to give room for an individual of one
to pronounce damnation on the others.
