We are complied to cast ourselves upon the kind indulgence of our friends, and ask them to excuse the meagre quantity of read ing matter with which we are at this time wupplying them. The advertisement relating to mail routes in the State of Georgia covers an entire page of our paper; and besides, we are now, from necessity, publishing on a much sm tiler size titan we are in the habit of using, rite thing will come right in a few weeks, when we will serve you up all sorts of n dish, varied, spicy, and as palatable as we can possibly mike it. Trust us, good sirs and fair readers, we will employ our apparent holiday in burnish ing our trumpet and elevating its notes. To Correspondents. —Several communica tions have been received, which are necessa rily crowded out this week, but shall receive early attention. Fourth of July Orations and Toasts arc pouring in upon us from every quarter; our friends must be patient, we’ll serve them all in good lime. Patience is a noble virtue. SUBLIME AND BEAUTIFUL. Our feelings were really curious and inex plicable on discovering, a few days since, that the foundation of anew market house was positively being laid down in the very centre of Broad street! Our beautiful ‘Broad street’—the pride of our hearts—the finest street south of the Potomac—is to be blocked up with a filthy market house, crammed with squalling ducks and chckene, and surrounded with millions of flies and insects of every de scription !!! Why it would have been bet ter to have dug a canal through the street, for then we could have rowed in our gondo las by moonlight, and exhibited to strangers a beautiful young Venice. But complete this calf stall —this sheep shop —this poultry yard ; —build it up where you have commenced it, and there will be nothing left of us but a • grease spot.’ A GREATER THAN BIDDLE HAS BEEN HERE. A man by the name of Hugh Stevenson, hailing from some part us Ohio, appeared in our streets some few months since, and it was supposed that he had ‘dropped down,’ so sudden and unheralded was his debut in our market. At first he looked the personifica tion of blighted genius, weeping over unprof itable speculations and broken fortunes; but in a short time he assumed a different air, handled lots of ‘ the ready,’ and became the perfect Biddle of the South. He purchased the old charter of‘the Bank of West Florida,’ and deceived our good cit izens by assuring them that he would make that money bankable in our banks in a week or two —on the faith of which a number of merchants took it in the course of trade, and thereby became losers to a considerable amount. Upon the back of this operation, and with a celerity in banking operations un equalled in the world of finance, the said Ste phenson bought the charter of the ‘Com mercial Bank of Florida,’ with all its assets and liabilities, from John C. Maclay, Esq. its late President. The St. Joseph Times says, * that the premiuitt paid to the late stockhold ers, for the charter, was $50,000, which was taken out of the assets, consisting of protested paper and such notes as Stephenson refused to receive.’ A few days after the transfer Stephenson commenced issuing the bills, and particularly those in the shape of post notes, payable at Biddle’s Pennsylvania Bank, at Philadelphia. He arrived in our city (on the occasion of his running away from Apalachi cola and taking the entire assets of both banks with him,) at 8 o’clock, and left at day light the next morning—and we think he must have spilt the contents of his big bag in his hurry to get off, for he left behind him a •perfect cord’ of Commercial bills, and our town was flooded with them in the next twenty-four hours; the locusts of Egypt were few in number compared with these worthy representatives of a rag and shin-plaster cur rency. After leaving so magnificent a carte blanche to his bank parlor, he evaporated in smoke, lor lie bought a steam boat and put out down the river, bound for Texas, via the Balize, (Ibr he would not have bearded the Calaboose in its own precincts) but in attempt ing to get out anew set of papers, at St. Jo seph, he was detected in his villany and ar rested. He had a hearing before the author ities of St. Joseph and was committed, but was subsequently removed to Pensacola jail for safer confinement. When Stephenson was arrested he had in his possession about seven thousand dollars in silver, and a small quantify of gold ; also such amount of the Commercial Bank bilis and post notes as he had been unable to put in circu lation, together with $125,000 in bills of the West Florida Bank. The latter were de signed for circulation in Texas. The responsibilities of the Commercial Bank are some $400,000, and its recoverable assets will not pay more than 10 cents in the 100. The St. Joseph Times adds : ‘ The guilt of Stephenson, in this transac tion, is direct, unequivocal and acknowledged —and punishment and opprohrium must cer tainly await him. Others are involved in the loud curses of the community—none more so than Mr. Maclay. That appearances are against him all must acknowledge, but that his conduct may admit of explanation, ai:;l that he may clear himself of any participation in this fraud, is earnestly contended (or by his friends. We believe that he has been guilty of a great oversight and imprudence in placing in she hands ot Stephenson the means of doing this foul wrong to the public, but we as honestly be lieve that he is no farther culpable. He is absent now, and it is but sheer jus tice in the community to suspend their ver dict of condemnation until he can be heard in bis own defence. It’ we arc not mistaken in the man, that delence will be luliyand prompt ly made. P. S.—Since ihe above has been set up Mr. Maclay lias returned, prepared to disa buse the public mind of any impressions made as to his fraudulent participat.on in the late ! operations of the Commercial Bank. His defence and such other matters as may come j to light in the ensuing week, connected with I this subject, shall be given in our next.’ The Apalachicola Gazette speaks thus: ‘We believe this is the first Western Land Pirate that lias visited our Territory, and we sincerely hope ttiat it will be the last. ‘So plausible was he in his plans and ope rations, and so bland in bis manner, that many of our most worthy citizens were taken in by |,im. H,s debut among us was in the pur chase of the charter of the Bank of West Florida ; and from his insinuating manners, backed by a large sum of money, which he exhibited on all occasions, when it could be if any use to him, he induced several ot our citizens to act as directors of said bank; but r.o sooner than it suited his purpose did he put in circulation a large amount ot the bills of said bank, contrary to the understanding, and without the knowledge or consent of said directors. And then, to cap the climax in such matters, he clandestinely drew from the hank all its capital stock and endeavored to make his escape. He is now committed to Pensacola jail io await his trial. Since writing the above we learn that Stephenson has made his escape I’rom Pensa cola. He was taken out of jail, at that place, on a writ of habeas corpus, and while in the hands of the officers succeeded in getting loose, by treating as freely to champaigne, etc. as we might suppose one of his very ex tensive means would do. JUDGE CAMERON. We had cherished the hope that good ti dings would have reached us concerning the fate of this gentleman, who was a passenger on the Pulaski at the time she was lost. But we are pained to learn, through the Fayette ville (N. C.) Observer, that he was lost.— Judge Rochester, who was the travelling com panion of Judge Cameron from Pensacola, gave the account of the loss of the latter, after he was taken into the yawl by Mr. Hibbard, the mate. Judge R.it will be remembered per ished amidst the breakers in attempting to land. It seems that Judge C. had clung to a portion of the wreck until his strength failed and he sunk to rise no more ! We knew Judge Cameron. He was Judge of the Superior Court for the Western Dis trict of Florida. We have been present when he presided on the bench, where fie was the dignified impartial judge, and the able and learned jurist; we have been with him in the social circle, where he was the urbane and cou r teous gentleman, the pleasant and instructive companion. COL. BRITT AND LADY. We have perused a letter from Mr. G. B. Lamar, dated Augusta, July S, in which he says: ‘I arrived herefrom Wilmington, by the Rail Road, last evening, and am grieved to say, that the circumstances within my knowledge too certainly indicate the loss of Col. Britt and his lady.’ From the tenor of the letter we no longer doubt that Col. Britt was on the Pulaski, and consequently we may not hope to meet him again:—thus has perished one of our most worthy and esteemed citizens. “Keep Cool.' —This is the roost salutary advice we can give to our dearly beloved friends; and if the weather in Augusta was as hot as we have it here, surely our brethern of the quill, Messrs. Jones and Raifoid, would obey the injunction. Oh l gentlemen, get ye imo a Refrigerator, or an Ice House, for a little season. We beseech you, by the merits and virtues of the press and type, keep cool —keep cool ! Difference of Exchange. —‘ I’ll give you Commercial Bank for West Florida.’ ‘ Done! How much have you got ?’ ‘O, any quantity from a peck to a cart load.’ ‘ Well, a good day.’ Washington City, June 30, 1838. Messrs. Editors: I have the pleasure to inform you that a Bil has passed the Senate, and House of Representatives, providing for the issuing of Patents to the bona fide pur chaser, owner, or assignee, of Creek reserva tions in Alabama.

Jt-sse Goodman, charged with the murder of his wife at St. Joseph, has been arrested, and was carried through this city, on his way to Florida, last week- CELEBRATION OF INDEPENDENCE. The sixty-second anniversary of American Independence was celebrated in this city, on the 4th inst. with every demonstration of joy. .The loud-mouthed cannon was heard to speak the birth of another jubilee of freedom —strains of delightful music breathed the enrapturing spirit of liberty—the stately and solemn procession was formed and marched before our eyes with the overawing pageantry of olden times; and the people of this free and happy land went up, with one accord, to the temple of the most high, to listen to the narration of Revolutionary deeds of valor, and to strengthen their allegiance at the sa cred and common altar of their country. The first beautiful and patriotic deed of the day was the presentation of a stand oi colors to the ‘Muscogee Huzzars,’ by the hand of M.ss Thomas. This corps has just sprung into existence, and is composed of the flower and chivalry of our young men. It is commanded by Capt. A. K. Ayer, who hav ing been appointed Marshall of the day, de volved the command of his splendid corps, for this occasion, upon Lieut. Hoxey, who consequently was so highly favored as to re ceive the brilliant banner from its fair donor. The procession was formed at the Ogle thorpe House, at 11 o’clock, by the Marshall and his Deputy, Mr. Richard T. Brice, and conducted to the Methodist Episcopal church. It was composed of the ‘ Huzzars,’ the ‘ Hi bernian Benevolent Society,’ the ‘ Columbus Guards,’ distinguished strangers, and a large concourse of patriotic citizens. The services of the church were unusually interesting and impressive. The Rev. Mr. Mann appropri ately and fervently addressed the great ruler of nations. The following Ode, composed for the occasion, was then ung to the swel ling and solemn air of Old Hundred, accom panied on the piano by Mr. Iversen, the ac complished organist of the Episcopal church: ODE. To-day the trump off eedom sounds, From shore to shore, from sei to sea ; And every patriot bosom bounds, And every heart is glad and free. Catch the wild strain that floats the air— List to the shouts of ransom’d men; Our Washington hath breath’d a prayer: We ne’er shall live in chains again. The joyful sound spread far and wide, Columbia’s groaning sons are free ; Let it be borne on wave and tide, Triumphant over every sea. Our ‘ stars and stripes’ in triunph wave, O’er distant lands where genius weeps, And gleam above the tyrant’s grave, Where liberty and freedom sleeps. O ever sac ed be the hour, That freed us from a despot’s chains; And snatch’d us from a tyrint’s power, And from ‘ oppression’s woes and pains.’ Let loudest anthems speak our joy. Volumes of thanks ascend the sk'es; The Lord preserves—who can destroy ? In him a nation’s safety lies. The Declaration of Independence was read by Nicholas L. Howard, Esq. who pre faced the reading by a neat and pertinent ad dress. The oration of our fellow-citizen, J. H. Campbell, Esq. was strikingly appropriate to the occasion—marked with strong original thought—and replete with glowing patriotism. At 4 o’clock, P. M. a number of citizens sat down to a most sumptuous dinner, furnished by Mr. McKeen, at the Oglethorpe. A number of animating addresses were deliver ed —toasts were drank—songs sung-—and the great and joyful day closed in unbroken har mony. Thus ever should spend and termi nate the hallowed day which commemorates the liberation of America ; and may the sun of her political and social prosperity never go down in darkness, or be obscured by even a passing cloud of internal collision. The fol lowing are the toasts drank at the dinner: REGULAR TOASTS. 1. The day we celebrate —(l3 cheers) — Tune, ‘Freedom’s banner waving o’er us.’ 2. George Washington —(drank standing, in silence.) 3. The Constitution of the United States — (3 cheers) —Tune, ‘ Hail Columbia.’ 4. The President of the United States— Tune, ‘ President’s March.’ 5.

Agriculture, Commerce and Manufac tures —They thrive best when let alone— Tune, ‘ Rural Felicity.’ 10. Education —In its general diffusion lies the sheet anchor of our political safety— Tune, ‘ Home, sweet Home.’ 11. The Banks —The interest of the coun try demands a speedy resumption of specie payments. 12. A Court of Errors —Essential to the perfection of our Judiciary System. 13. Woman — Man’s firmest friend ; when cares oppress She soothes him with her fond caress; When foes invade our naiive land, The Fair, a spirit-cheering band, Call forth, amidst war’s rude alarms, The brave, the free, to arms ! to arms ! Tune, ‘ Come rest in this bosom.’ VOLUNTEER TOASTS. By his Honor Judge Sturges, President of the day. Internal Improvement.
