A great many lives were lost, but a number were saved on the British coast by means of life' ll. Kits.

It is stated, that he made his dehut at that place, cxactlyforty years previous. A difference had arisen between Sir F.

The Greeks*—The official despatch from the Greek Admiral, who commndcd the fleet by which armament was defeat ed, off thd island of Samos, lias been re ceived; The los? of the Tiirksin the ves sels that were burriedin estimated at near ly 3000 inch. The fire-ships .were ngalft the.Grcek instrument*! of victory. Can- nris was the first who succeeded in grap pling ri Turkish ships; it Was a frigate of the largest size*' In a few minutes she was fa flames, and soon blew up, with 600 men, who were crowded on board of T1 that sriniethiug-vrns the matter,pressed up on mm a nisclnsure, when the voiqig man, upon enjoining secrecy. staled tliat he was about to play a trick, hod nbumhmed lus horse, saddle, ifad bridle, for that purpose, and was then on lus way. for sonic distant place where he would nover ho heard from igafa. The witness described his person, lathing, &c. ami was positive as to the identity ofhis person. Two other witness- examined on tiio part of the uncle, by whom it appeared that a young man, corresponding' precisely with thd descrip tion of .Samuel Siainlifor, -hud lodged in the house of,onqof them on that night,and related to them that he was by the name of Stnndifcr, and nephew to tins aecttsed. This evidence being so full and explicit that tho voting man was still living, the uncle and his sons were immediately dis charged. The uncle had his friends, conscious of their innocence, rind the more fully to ac quit themselves of tho unjust imputation, immediately despatched a messenger in search of the nephew, who, after 8 or 10 days, found him nerif Florence,and brought him in triumph to Huntsville, alive* last Sunday evening. Thereby giving an oc- cular demonstration to a jealous and high ly incensed community ,tlmt they hail been charged fnlsely. It turns out thatthcyoung man resorted to this nefarious and wicked stratagem to effect his uncle’s destruction; and actually cut his own 6hger, stained his bridle, aud saddle, and left them and his horse nt Wsimcle’s cotton gin, for the ex press purpose of inducing the public to be lieve that bis undo was tho murderer. A most diabolical soliome. But his plot fail ed, and hte is brought back to receive the punishment due to his perfidy. In addi- tion to the eviderico given on tlio trial of. the undo, it is proper Jo mention, that the young man, before his departure,lmd made a confident of another uncl^'to'' whom lie disclosed his -wicked intentions, npd erf- joined upon him perpetual secrecy, But when the intended victim was found ih jeo pardy, tho undo promptly interposed and disclosed the whole scheme., The * result of this cose adds another lesson to the ma ny already given to the world, what little; confidence is to be placed i rxei rcu instant iai testimony* Hundreds of innocejnt men, no doubt, have suftered death in asirriilnr way, and, but (or the delivering lmiid of Providence, the venerable Jesse Stundifcr might, and probably would, have beety sa crificed to appease the vengeance qf nn in censed community.—Democrat. DECISION OF BLANK BALLOTS. If any doubt could lie entertained of the From -the Mat.Intelligencer ttlh >dt. It fa a say ing which wm f»nvo>- much ad mired; as applied to political questions, that those who are not for nsar'e. against n*. iffifte Legislature of New York, by their decision, have given a new redding to it, wltieh we like still less, viz, that those who are aoainsT us are you us. It could oti- ly hnvd been upon this principle tliat they decided that ?S was a majority of 157. Lct nd oub suppose that wb object to this decision merdy because of the great in justice which it Inis effectedth the partic ular case in which it occured. Wc take, it is true, some concern in that, but we feel a much deeper interest in the pdrity of our elections'—in the keepingthem free from corruption, trick, and artifice; To the candor of those disposed to defend whatever isdonc injuriously to Mr Craw ford without a particular scrilttyy into the incans by which it is done, We put this question : If tho 78 members of the Le gislature were coilfideitt of their having a majority with them, why did tlidy so ve hemently oppose the very just opinion (as wo think it) of tlio Lieutenant Governor Root, tlmt a second ballot was necessary in regard to all the candidates for electors but these who hud a majority of all the bal lots 1 We will barfly refer io a Case of anal ogy between the established practice in Legislative Bodies, and what wc believe was only proper course to have been pur sued in the case before us. It is the uni versal rule of Legislative Bodies, that eve ry member present at the decision of any question must rote upon it in one way or other. What is this but to pay there shall he no blank votes l It is the duty of every man to vote, and he must not evade its performance. Again: the Members were culled upon to vote for A. or B. But they voted for C. They voted out ef the record t and tho obvious course was to require them to vote within it. This case, it will he seen, is widely dilferent from the case of an ri pen election where every individual lms an option to vote or not, and, if lie votes,, is not limited to a choice of A or B, lmt may vote for any mnii he pleases, even for oue who does not possess the requisite le gal qualifications.

The immediate consequence of the victory was the dispersion and flight of the troops, who were enconrpcd on the adjoining continent; and pho were eye witness of tlie conflagration of the Cap tain Pacha’s fleet. Tlie Greek Admiral, in the' conclusion of his despatch, presses for a supply of fire-ships, in order that he might complete the destruction of the re masnded of the Turkish Vfsaels, before they recover from the panic : and lie then proposes to encounter the Egyptinn fleet. There seems to be every- probability that tlie Greeks will revy speedily annihilate tlic Turkish marine.' . 1 London, Oct. tft. Information lind been received from Corfu to tlie 18th of Sept, which must be in every way satisfactory to the friends of Grecian liberty, Tor it appear! that oh the ll,h of that inotb, in the neighbourhood of Cos, tlie Grecian f!eet, to the number of 80 ships of nil descriptions,. encoufiterfed thocofabincdTurkish and Egyptian fleets, and- that after a severe contest, the Barba rians Sustained another signal defeat. Two of their frigates were burned during the action, and 70 transports were des troyed. Three corvettes were captured, and tile less of the Mussel men in lives was very great. This information has been received by the way of Leghorn, Trieste and Marseilles; and if it required any confirmation, the last Ausfain Ob server, received in England, must remove every doubt of the fact of a great victory having been obtained, for it, with unwont ed candpur, adtoits the leading features of this naval engagement. The regular French mail arrived at ft late hour on Wednesday morning. The private letters frorii Spain by this convey ance give the. most frightful picture of the state of that couhtiy. At Valencia and Cordova there had been serious disturban ces, and it is even said' that mafay French sojdiers have been arrested and imprison ed by the Royalist volunteers. Globe and Traveller.

Huntsville, (AlahV) N6v.‘ 2.—The most extraordinary case has just happen ed in this county that hus ever occurred wiihiu ourreeoliectibn. Samuel W. San difer.a yourigmarf-bfresiiectablo conncc' tions, suddenly disappeared op Thursday pvenihg of the 21st filtimo, in a way so mysterious as to induce a general belief in the,neighborhood that lie was murdered. Suspicion immediately attached to his un cle Jesse Standifer, an old and highly res pectable citizen, with whom there was known to be a misunderstanding. But " bat gave coloring to the supposition that he was murdered, and that his uncle was the perpetrator of the foul deed; was that the next morning the young man’s horse, saddle and bridle, were found at tlic old gentleman’s cotton gin, about two hunj dred yards from bis dwelling* Upon in spection, the saddle and briddlo were found to be stained with blood; the bridle reins contained several spots, and the sad dle was marked with a large impression as if faadc with a bloody hand.. This discovery at once fixed the guilt up- on the unfortunate uncle, and the Xyhole neighborhobd were excited to an active inquiry into the eirifamstanccs. It >verc needless to repeat the many idle reports which immediately took wing upon the occasion. Search,ivas made for several ddj^s for the murdered riiirfii fait in vain; he was' not to be fouucL Guilt,- heverthc-. less, was fixed Upon theufide, and fib was forthwith arrested, with his two sons, arid brought befofQ.a magistrate for .faquiry, when the following facts -(verc diftclosftd.

Timothy Pitkin, jr. 20 Roger Nelson 1 C. \V. Goldsborough i Blank Ballots 2 Mr; Vurnitfa having 60 votes, it was sub mitted to the decision of the House, by tlie tellers, whether the blank ballots cotild lie considered as votes; if not, there being but 118 votes, Mr. Vatfaum having 00, had a majority. > v Mr. \V. Alston’ coticbived that there could be no doubt on the subject; that blank pieces of paper could not be consid ered its votes. He instanced the -case which occurred in the famous balloting for President, in tlie year 1801, at which time, after a number of ballotings, the state of Maryland, which was divided, gave in four blank votes, and thus decided the elec tion. Mr. Macon thought there could be no question on the subject. He also recollec ted the case of the Presidentitil election, instanced by bis colleague, and was of opi nion that blank ballots could not be coun t ed* He hoped that the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. ; Vairnum) would be conducted to the chair. Mr. Randolph octid; this was no ordina ry question which the House were about to determine, at the instnrice of his friend (Mr. Mucon) in his opinion, in a. very ir regular manner { and, Mr. R. said,tlrat he was certain, if his friend were not himself implicated fa the question, lie wpuld have been one of the last mfeinr in .the House to give such a decision against himself; but perhaps this was a peculiarity in his fripn.d’s character. Are we, gentlcraerf, said Mr. R. to have a Speaker of the House of Re presentatives without any election? Ttys committee have not reported that one of tire persons .voted for had a majority of the whole ptfmbor of,votes given; on the contrary, they faavo expressly reported that.no one-had a Majority.' And will the House consent, in this .mariner, to choose a Speaker to preside over this body, and perhaps eventually over the . destinies of this nation; for, perchance 1 ’-the Speaker might become President ’esf the United States t With respect, to the precedent, in the case of the election of President of tlie United States, there was not, he Said, tlio smallest analogy between the two Oa ses. What was tlmt case? It was on.it question, whether or not there couljfafxist in this country a government, that this de vice had been used, after some forty or fif ty bqlfatings. In order to give n President to the United States, certain gentlemen had thought proper not to vote at all.
