Hawes were Yesterday arrested hy the City Marshal, John A. Christian, for acting in a disorderly and threaten ing manner in the public streets. From what we can learn, one or both < f the parties were some what excited by drinking, and were also exhibit ing dangerous weapons on the public thorough- , fare of Broad street. In arresting them, Mr. Chris tian, as we further understand, used his stick, and although he was shot at and narrowly escaped, lie succeeded in making the arrest without sustaining any injury, although Messrs. Cartledge and Hawes received several severe licks over their heads. They were committed to jail. New Book. Post-Biblical History or Tnr.

Our cotemporary of the Southern Recorder, o; Sth lust., in the free indulgence of his wit anu learning, has met with the sad fate of one, chroni cled in undying verse, whose gun “bore wide, and kicked its owner over.” The following is the article to which we refer; We copied from the Augusta Constitutionalist a few days ago a humorous anecdote, showing most lamentable degree of ignorance of Bible his Tory, which was exhibited by three distinguished , lawyers of Missouri, and which the St. Louis Ei yul-lioan says “calls for prompt action on the pari of the American Bible Society or greater Sunday school facilities.” We supposed our Augusta cotemporary in pub lishing it was actuated by a laudable desire to nil press upon the youth of our country the necessity of reading the “good book,” and the fact that no elevation “of social position or extent of acquire ments in oilier respects would excuse the neglecl of it. What was our surprise, then, in a late num ber of his paper, to see in an article on the subject the birth of the infant “King of Algiers,” in Paris, the following sentence : “ It it is true that there is always joy in Heaven when a boy child is born, it is equally true lhal there was great joy in France w'hen the young Prince made his appearance." We regret to say that in the above sentence, our eotemporary has placed himself in the same cat<- gorv with the Missouri Lawyers, whom he would hold up to the reprobation of the Bible read ing public. We suppose that while writing it. In had running through the dim recesses of his memo ry a vague and shadowy recollection of the passage of Scripture which say’s, “Joy shall be in Ilea vet over one sinner that repentetli, - ' Ac. We call upon our friend for chapter and verse for his quotation.- —Sout'nern Meander. The extract from this paper, which the editor publishes, says not one word about the Bible; doe-, not refer to any passage, chapter, or verse in the saered volume, and yet we are called upon to poin out the “chapter aud verse for our quotation," when we never made a “quotation.” Our allusion was to a venerable, and to us,’ familiar supersti tion. We do not feel disposed to fatigue our readers with reference to hoary traditions, which have lef: their impress upon the Laws of Primogeniture, and the Salic law wherever it obtains ; and which, in many countries at the present day, give import ance to the birth of a male child, and particularly to the first born son. The Irish, we believe, have a superstition about the first and the seventh son, and a portion of the peasantry of that region con sider the birth of a boy good cause for rejoicing on earth and in Heaven. The Jews have a prayer which is to be repeated every morning, and has been in their ritual from time immemorial, “Blessed art thou, oh Lord our God, that thou hast not cre ated me a woman.” We might, if we felt disposed, revert at some length, to the days of the Mosaic law, when the first born of beasts, being male, were offered as sacrifices to the Lord ; and being boys, were required to be redeemed, that is, devo ted to God, we believe, and which is alluded to in the second chapter of Luke, “It is written in the law of the Lord, that every male born shall be called holy to the Lord"—and to many other por tions of Scripture for the presumed authority or or igiu of ihe traditions, or superstitious if you please, which have prevailed, that there is always joy in Heaven when a boy child is born. We trust that our friends of the Southern //< - eordcr, who were so captious about what they did not see. will be satisfied now with what they do see. •Tgv~ We see it stated, says the Journal of Com merce, that the -Secretary of the United States Treasury, Hon. James Guthrie, had the question of charging duty on American grain bags return ed to this country, under advisement, and we had no doubt would decide it so as to do justice to all parties. We are not, therefore, surprised to learn that instructions have been received here to admit the bajs free of duty, as prescribed by the in structions of 1847.

The following is a thrilling account of the re- ; cent murder of four children by their mother, committed near Oneida Lake, in Madison county, j Yew York. The following is the evidence before \ the Coroner’s Jury: William Dixon, sworn, says: Sunday morning, ] the 23d, William Ward came to our house and ' -aid the woman was killing her children over a: \ the second house; I went over to the house and ! saw a little boy standing in the yard on the snow- i bank; Mrs. Ward was tiie name of the woman j tint was killing her children ; the little boy refer- j red to was her son ; I asked him if his mother had killed any of the children ; he said ves; the boy j said his mother had killed Emma, Elizabeth and j I Netty: I met Mr. Schuyler at the gate and we | went into the yard together; I saw the children ! lying dead : one was oil the ground near the stoop, another lay on the stoop near the door that goes into the house; another was in the hall; Mrs. Ward stood partly behind the door that led from the hall to the kitchen, in the act of cutting her throat with a razor; 1 said to her, “ Mrs. Ward, what have you been doing?” She replied, “dis patch me quickly.” 1 took hold of her hands and pulled them down from her neck, and took the razor from her; I threw the razor arid axe tha lay at her feet on the floor out into the snow; the axe was covered with blood. Directly my father came in, and we made her lay down on the bed ; she seemed somewhat excited, and said to me fre quently that she wished l would cut her head oft’. When 1 and my father were gelling her back imo a room for the purpose of having her lay down, we discovered the babe in the bed with its throat cut and dead. I asked her if she had killed her . children. Her reply was, “cut off my head quick ly.” . Charles Ward, about eight years old, sou of Mrs. Ward, testilies: I saw my mother kill Elizabeth I Ann first; she killed her with an axe; Anna lav down on the floor in the entry; my mother struck \rma several times; Netty was standing on the stoop, aud mother went and struck Netty with the axe ; Emma, my sister, was in the house under the ! bed ; my mother went and brought her out on to the stoop and struck her with the axe; Emma crept off from the stoop on her hands and knees ; my mother struck her again ; my father was on the lake tisiiing. , l>r. Wilson being sworn, says—l am a physician; I have examined the bodies of the children lying at the house of Mr. Ward ; I should think that the children, from the appearance of the wounds, came to their deaths bv being struck with an axe ; the infant s head is cut off; the second child’s head is about half cut off; the other two are badly cut about the neck ; when 1 dressed the wound, Mrs. Ward’s eyes had a glassy look, and she said she did not wish to live, and wanted to have her head cut off Lott Ward being sworn, says—l have been in this country about five years ; 1 was married in England; my wife did not like the idea of leaving England to come to this country; my wife had a great desire to return to England after we hud been in this country about one year; I hired out to Mr. Chase, of Yew Hartford, Oneida county, and lived in the same house with him, but we had reparate rooms; after we hail lived with him about two weeks, my wife wanted to go back to England, and I did not want to go; about that time my wife made an attempt to drown herself, und also to hang herself, and ran, a penknife into her throat; she had times of being low-spirited, and I was afraid that she would make way with herself; my wife’s mother was subject to these -pells of being low-spirited, and they had to con fine her for a few days. After the examination of . everd other witnesses the Jury gave in their verdict that the same chil dren came to their deaths as aforesaid, by blows . inflicted upon them with an axe by the hand of thir mother while in a state of t< m mental derangement.

Upon the subject «.i d ess and appearances, tin* .New Voii. 7V//e» thus remarks : “A coat that has the marks of use upon it i- a recommendation to people of sense, and a hat with mo smooth a nap and too high a lustre is a de rogatory circumstance. The best coats in Broad way are on the backs of penniless fops, broken down merchants, clerks with pitiful salaries, and men that don’t pay up. The heaviest gold chains dangle from the fobs of gamblers and gentle men of very limited means; costly ornament on the ladies indicate to the eyes that are well open, the fact of a silly lover or husband cramp ed for funds. And when a pretty woman goes by in a suit of plain and neat apparel, it is a -ign that she has fair expectations and a hus band that can show a balance in his favor. For women are like books, too much gilding makes ; men suspicions that the binding is the most impor tant point.” A Prompt and Accurate Public Officer. —We heard mentioned yesterday, as a commendable in stance of despatch in the settlement of a large ac count, that Col. Forney, late Clerk of the House of Representatives, had on the l? f inst., within an hour after receiving an informal report of adjust ment from the First Comptroller, finally closed his i accounts, by simply transferring to the United States the balance standing to his credit on the ; books of the Treasury, there being not one cent of difference between his statement ns rendered and that of the Department. His disbursements, wc learned on inquiry, covered transactions running through four years of official service, and embraced : the expenditure of over two million of dollars, un der about seventy different heads of appropriation. From these facts, and from the following dates, some idea may he had of the celerity of his move ments, so far as he had control of the settlement. The Committee on Accounts of the House, who first audit the expenses of that body, passed upon ’he last of Col. Forney’s vouchers about February 25th, and on the 22th of the same month he sent them for settlement to the Treasury. On the Ist of April he was informed unofficially of the ad justment of the final account, and within an hour after, he closed by makingthe transfer stated above. This promptness reflects much credit indeed upon Col. Forney, and his chief (and financial > clerk, Mr. McKean, and furnishes to many ft • mds of Col. F. another instance to justify their on-fit 'once and esteem.— Washington Star, April 5. A Night of Horror in a Wilderness.— The Poughkeepsie Ea.aU gives an account of a night's adventure of Mr. Arvine Clark in the wilderness in Potter county, Pennsylvania, during the past w inter. It appears he lost his way, travelled for hours, when, as night set in, he found himself eicht miles from anv settlement, surrounded by bears and wolves. One of the former he shot dead in the dark as the animal was about to spring upon him. His next effort was to kindle a fire. He collected some dry materials and loading his gun with powder fired the charge into a dry cotton handkerchief. It was a failure 1 As the gun was discharged, another bear, apparently within t wenty feet of him, gave a hideous and awful roar that made Clark’s hair stand on end. Bruin was terribly frightened by the discharge of the gun, and hastily scampered, much to the relief of Clark, who now began to fully realize the danger of his position. Here he remained, not daring to fall asleep. \bout two o'clock in the morning, to add to the horrors of his situation, the veil of a panther was heard. Ihe beast -approached—came nearer every few minutes—uttered a screech that froze the blood in his veins. A-a last resort to defend himselt from the attack of the savage animal, re -1 >aded his gun, putting in some three-eent pieces and steel pens, . for he had nothing else, ) which he ltopetl might do some execution. The animal came so near that the glare of his eyes resembled two bails of fire ! Clark every moment expected to receive the fata! spring. There he remained without daring to move, with the fierv eyes of the panther fixed upon him! In this dreadful situation, expecting every’ moment to be torn in pieces, he remained till break of dav, when he was relieved from danger and the animal disap peared. Hungry, and weary and exhausted, he left for the settlement, where he arrived about noon and related his thrilling adventure. A partv pro ceeded to the place where the bear was shot, and brought in his carcass, which proved to be a very large one. It was dressed and forwarded to New i ork. \ late Illinois paper contains the announcement -v f P' W - "'“ lf «» Mary L. Lamb.

All the world in Texas knows Old King, as he is called, a sort of Daniel Lambert of a man, weighing his three hundred : and fifty pounds, full of jokes and hospitality, re- ■ nowned for his “Seditious” in his house, and whose only trouble in the money line is bis “cos tive” gals, as he terms them. He once owed a man a just debt which he refused to pay, when J due, in silver, but he had made his creditor j a tender of a bank bill, which was refused—suit j brought, judgment obtained, and property levied j on. Hear him in his own “Goverential” language: “ Now, Squire Spore, you owed a man a jist debt, J and was to make him a tender of a hank bill, j which he refuses to accept, and he fetches suit, aud the Sheriff was to level a writ of execration on your truck, what would you do in such a case ?” “Don’t know, Colonel,” said the Squire, “it would depend on circumstances.” “Well,” replies old King, “I'll tell you what I'll do : if that varmint sells iny truck, d—n me if 1 don’t make a sacrament of him.” i Illustrating a Point. —Sir Fletcher Norton was noted for his want of courtesy. When pleading j before Lord Mansfield on some questions of mano rial right, he chanced unfortunately to sav, “ My lord, I can illustrate the point in an instant in my own person. !, myself, have two little manors."

FARRELL’S CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT IS well known to possess the most wonderfully . healing, penetrating and stimulating properties, and by its promptness in effecting cures, which I previously had resisted all other medicines, ad ministered by the most scientific physicians, has placed it far beyond any similar remedy ever in j troduced to the people of the United States, it i stimulates the absorbents to increased action, anu thus enables nature to throw off disease— it pent- . tratr-n to the hones, adding strength and activity to the muscles—it is powerfully anodyne and thereby allays nervous irritation , producing a delightfully pleasing sensatfan through the whole frame. Owing to its remarkable antieeptic properties, it purifies and neutralizes that poisonous, corrosive principle which renders old ulcerous sores so difficult to heal; . it therefore is peculiarly adapted to their speedy cure. This Liniment from its penetrating and • strengthening qualities has been found to be~a spe - ; cilic for Paralysis or Palsy, Whiteswellings and f j diseased joints, and in fact all comnlaints invol , ving the muscular system. It has cured cases of f Rheumatism of twenty to thirty years’ standing, -* and affections of the Spine wherein the entire spi- j nal column was so crooked and distorted, that the • patient could not walk or stand without artificial | support. Numerous cases of Palsy have been ■ cured when the flesh had withered, leaving nothing but the dried skiu and bone, and the limbs total 1 v | without use or feeling. For Children with Croup it is of inestimable value, rubbed and bathed ot er ; the throat and chest. If applied freely on the chest ; it never fails to give relief in the severe Coughs at tending Consumption, Asthma and Colds. Jt heals wounds speedily—will cure Scaldhead, Mange, etc. t Planters and Farmers will find it a most valuable i medicine to be applied to Horses and Cattle for 5 . Sprains, Bruises, Lameness, Stiff Joints, Sweeney, 3 Dry Shoulder, Wounds, Burns, Splint, Chafes or Gails, Hardened Knots on the flesh, etc. i | Look out fear Counterfeits ! i The public are cautioned against another coun ■ tori! it, which has lately made its appeal once, called IV.
