Mr. Editor t By giving the following Hint a place in your 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 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. SUMMARY. A reward of Two Hundred Dollars is offered ‘by Governor Cark, for the apprehension of Dr Wm. A Walsh, who is accused of the murder of.John Wynne, in Columbia County. Widows. From an enumeration lately taken, it appears there are 637 widowsin Newport, R. I being nearly a 12th of its whole population! Connecticut Cow. A cow raised by Mr. Bisli ojs of West-Hartford, Cqpn. gave 8993 pounds, or about 1000 gallons of milk, from May 22, 1822, to April 1, 1823, averaging nearly 31 qts. a dy for 313 days. 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. A burial society has lately commenced in the county of Lancaster. Pennsylvania ; the first J printed article of whith runs thus : “ Whereas ‘ many persons find’ it very difficult to bury than - j selves. Among the feats announced for exhi bit! on,by ) a rope-dancer in Montreal, is the following:—, “ M r * GoßkAU.will dance on the.shoulders of Mother Ango, ninety years old, frortvPam.*? v Suicide. On the 25th ult. in the city of Balti more, Mr Jonas Bush, put i period to his life He carried oh business in Savannah soffife years since, and it is said lie lost considerable proper ty by the'great fire. We understand that the Bank of the United States has made arrangements, by which, its stockholders in the Southern States will be ena bled to make transfers of Stock through the of fice in Charleston.— Patriot, 6th inst. An artificial leg, with the kndte and ancle joints of very superior workmanship and Utility, has been completed by Mr G. Aicorn, Last maker, Philadelphia. The imitation of the mo tion of the ancle has been remarkably success ful. Toast, given at the last Cattle Show in Che shire county*—“ More draining of lands, and less draining of bottles.” The venerable, learned, &'pious Doctor Tho mas Troy, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dub lin, died on the 10th of May, aged 83 years and 10 months He has been a bishop 27 years.*— He was to have* pub'ic funeral. 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 ual who runs into debt, knowing that he is Un 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.” A letter from New-Otfeans, of the 10th Ult. received in Baltimore, mentions, that a power ful crevase Was made through the bank of the Mississippi abo_ut 17 miles belotf the city, which had*inundated the whole country, and entirely de*troyetl the Sugar Cana of 7link plantations , ana it was impossible to describe or Calculate the injury that might be sustained by this overflow, which it was apprehended would be equally de structive higher up the rivtr. Chilifcothe, (Ohio,) Supporter,’ asserts’ that—“ the people of Ohio are determined to give their support for the next presidency to Henry Clay, and nothing bu\ the act of Clod can induce them to alter their resolution.” , It appears from an extract from a Vera Cwz paper, published in the Louisiana Advertiser that Commissioners have arrived in Mexico from Spain, with authority to acknowledge the indev j pendence of Mexico, on the part of the Cortes, 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. JYational Advocate. The villains who robbed the store of Messrs l Hammond & Newman, at Baltimore, on the ■ night of the 16th ult. have been apprehended at t New-Haven, Conn. The goods had been trans ■ ported to that city and offered at an auction ; store for public sale—but suspicions having arisen, both the goods and thieves were detain . ed and the latter lodged in jail. General Gowgavd, the companion of Napo leon Bonaparte at St Helena, entered upon the registry at Paris the birth of a son called Louis Marie Napoleon St. Helene Goitrgaud. j- The number of strangers at the Saratoga , Springs, on the 28th ult was about'4oo.—a lar ger number than has ever been known before so early in the season. 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 i tion complete from Pittsburg to Nfew-Orleans. The extra expense of transportation round the falls, amounted last year to as much as the canal ; would cost Mr. Canning's Furniture, which was sold at auction on Friday and Saturday last, brought | very high prices, more, we are told, in many io | stances, than the original cost The cash re* [ ceipts of the sale, paid into Mr. Munro’s hands, amounted to upwards of §BOOO. So much for hard times! Washington Gas. We aie told that Mr Cook, a gentleman em ployed in one of the public offices, was yester day seized near M’lllvainc’s door in George town, and had his pocket rifl'd of his salary, which he had just received. The faotpads, who wore haudsome clothes, escaped. ib. The Fourth of July was to have been celebra ted this year for the first time, at N. Orleans, in the manner observed in the older States of the union. Processions were to be formed, and Orations, both in French and English, were to he prononnced. ’ A White was visible on Staten-Island, N. York, on the morning of the Ist inst. In 1816 it is said there was frost every month. 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 ded the'table e fthe House of Commons, pray ing for the total abolition of slavery in their col onies. It is (he opinion of the LAnerpool Jhlvet ■ 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. TUc, British brig Robert; of W hitehaven, cap E&p 2f. Porleous, was lost on the Lie of Man on wi njght of the 25th of May—4o passengers Were doomed to a watery grave; also 30 horses and 40 bead cfiF cattle. The only persons saved were the captain, crew, and two passengers. The Supply, a Liverpool trader from White haven, was lost near Drigg, on the night dt the 11th M4y— - bf 24 persons on board, 13 only were caved ; the remainder, consisting mostly of women anil children, passengers, perished. The most distressing particulars are given in the Liverpool papers of this catastrophe. It is stated in the Liverpool Advertiser of the 24th May, that by an arrival at that port from %Tde#us,.intelligence had been received that 4fFrench soldiers had been brought into Bay - f ne to the hospitals abokt the 9th or ltfih May.

This conveyance being detained, we have to state that the demand for Cotton, for the past two days has been good, but chiefly from the trade, Speculation has become much less ac tive, and no further improvement has taken 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 Alabama, and 1000 Sea-Islands. Os the whole sales about 12,000 bags are considered to have been taken on speculation, and chiefly Uplands. Prom the London New Price Current, May 22. 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 tion was not general.

The piece signed “ Put Lux,” is laid on the table. The new theory of religion which the writ dr has conceived, is too new, and too wild, to be sent suddenly forth to the world. His in vention is too novel, too strange, for adoption. 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 putes and quarrels Our columns can never be opened to give room for an individual of one to pronounce damnation on the others. dfl Communications and Advertisements omitted to day for want of rotm, sluM be attended to in our next.
