near Falian, county Donegal. .She is at pre
sent under the protection of a gentleman of
that neighborhood, who has kindly permitted
the country people, who arc flocking in him- j
dreds about the place, to ‘see and believe.’j
The members of the Londonderry National]

purpose of sending an immediate report of 1
their observations to the British Association,
sitting at Newcastle. We understan I that.

Viscount Melbourne as a present lo the
Queer.; if not, the body will be preserved in
spirits, and will grace the new forming mu
seum of our local society. A minute descrip- j
tion shall be given in our next.
The efifecl of this notice was that at least i
a fourth of all the inhabitants of Derry, who
could afford the expense, proceeded in a body |
to lionneraw where they were admitted to
an inspection of tiie singular creature; which
is thus described in the Fermanagh Journal. !
The Mermaid. —This is certainly a sea
woman, and has such ail expression of intel
ligence in its countenance that we are abso- j
lulely inclined to believe that it is a creature j
of reason rather than of instinct. We do not j
mean to insinuate that it has any notion of j
abstract ideas; but the fact is, that there is i
an appearance of confusion about it that
would seem to indicate sentiments of shame, j
fear and supplication. Ii weighs about sc-j
venty pounds, and is altogether human in its i
outward organization from the head to the j
navel, where the fish begins to develope itself, I
and the remainder is formed very like tfie ex
tremiiy of a large dolphin. The skin of the
face and the breast is a whitish brown—the
eyes are black and the nose purely aquiline;
nail its eyebrows, lips and chin, are models
for a sculptor. The hair is long and thick,
and the creature’s principal amusement seems
to he to stroke it downward with her webbed,
but otherwise very perfect fingers. It. looks
to lie twelve or fourteen years old ; and re- j
girds people occasionally as if it had an in- j
clination to speak; and we are solemnly of!
the opinion, when in its native element, it j
makes its wishes known through the medium ;
of its tongue. Altogether, indeed, it is the j
most singular being we have ever witnessed, |
and excites feelings in die breast of behold- i
ers, at least as much akin to awe as to curi- I
osity. Can it have a soul, and be an ac- j
countable creature? At ail events we shall !
examine it closely this week, and report par-j
licubrs.
We shall look with great anxiety for our
next files of Irish papers, on the receipt of
which we trust to be able to furnish the rea
der of The Examiner with some fuller infor
mation in relation to this surprising phenome

Superior Court—Before Chief Justice Jones.
Saturday, O t. 20.
Luke Tiernan ct ah. vs. John Simpson,
survivor, &.c. of Matthew Laughlin and
\Y in. Head.
This was an action on two promissory
notes given in 1825 by the defendants, dealers
in Selma, Ala., to tho plaintiffs, merchants,
doing business in Baltimore, Md. The de
fendants pleaded principally the statute of
limitations, and the plaintiffs pleaded anew
promise, under the following circumstances : ;
After the notes were barred by the statute,
Mr. James C. Barry, at the request of the !
plaintiffs, took the notes to Selma, and pre
sented them to Mr. Laughlin, (the partner
ship having since been dissolved J ami all
the defendants residing there. Mr. L. re
gretted nis inability to meet them, but sai l it
was a just debt and should be paid. This
conversation took place at the tavern after
dinner, but Mr. L. although very fiequentlv
drunk, was sober at that time, and perfectly
understood what he was doing. At a sub
sequent conversation, he repeated his pro
mise to pay the notes. The witness after
wards find a conversation with Mr. Sfitspson,
but what transpired was not then shown in.
evidence.
The ilefeuff-int produced a mas of docu
mentary testimony tending: to show that
Me. Ln uighlin, by reason ot’ his Jtvbk* mind,
induced by habitual intemperance, was in
competent to bind the other parlies by anv
new promises. This evidence, after n pro
longed argument, was ruled out by the Court,
under exception from the defend tit, lie in
tending to argue tliis question before a full
bench.
The defendant then contend* and that the
notes had been in part paid by other drafts,
and this the plaintiffs admitted ; and it was
further stated that at the time lie made the
new promise McLaughlin was not aware of
that fact.
The Court charged that the only question
for their decision was, whether McLaughlin
made any promise. As to the question of
the admissability of the testimony offered and
ruled out, that was a question of law ibr the
decision of the Court.
Verdict for plaintifls $3,(132 52. bein;g the
amount claimed after allowing the payments
made on tiie notes by the defendants.
G. Griliin, for plaintifls; S. 1\ Staples and
John Slossflti, for defendant.
Health of Charleston. —The following rat
ifying account of the health oi the city is
copied from the Courier of Tuesday :
4 Alter making inquiries from sources which
we deem good authority, we consider it pro- j
per to say that the disease which lias pre
vailed to such an alarming extent in this citv, 1
for upwards of two months past, has almost
entirely subsided.
4 We could not ascertain precisely the
number of deaths that have taken place from
Stranger’s Fever, during the week ending on
Saturday last, but are led to believe that they
will not amount to more than 10 or 12; am!
since that time, the weather has been quite
favorable and the period when tin: disease will
be entirely eradicated, cannot lie tar <iis;ant.
4 Under these circumstances, we venture to
express the opinion that our i’l lends in the
Northern Cities may at once commence their
return homeward, with but little it any learj
being subject to the attacks ol the level
alter their arrival.’
Further developments of dholifion.—lts pro
gress and prospects. — I'ne pint thickens,
r urther developments are making around
us. ihe correspondence bet ween'the aboli
tion committee, consisting of Messrs. Jay and
Smith, with the whig candidates fir Governor
and Lieut. Governor, has created no small as
tonishment among many members of the
whig party. It seems tb the democratic
candidates for the same office have not yet
replied. Cunning rogues.
It is evident now that both the parties into
which the people of this state are divided
are courting the political abolitionists. The
interest of the coming contest increases,
therefore. . n s fit? ibv tinr*'•oseh?:’.
I From the answers of the whig candidates,
We can mark the fear which they entertain
ni gv.’ iig ofleuce to tiie üboiinouisls. Mr.
ilradisb is, in Lift, a full blooded abolitionist —
and oo t: at ground he may gain many aboli
tion votes, wiiiie .be must lose on tiie other
. e —particuiui ly in this city, and the southern
district generally. The abolitionists, by their
organization—their power—their influence,
have forced both parties to liieir-feet, seeking,
’ ilegging, asking aid, like mendicants in an
Italian village, when ‘ Milord Ingiese’ stops
j to ciiange horses and be cheated by postiii
: ions. Every thing is in confusion. In the
desire for victory at the ensuing election,
both parties submit, and the abolitionists, in
fact, now hold the balance of power. In
this confused state of things, we hardly know
what to say, or what course to take. Both
parties, lor their meanness and want of moral
courage, ought to be defeated and disgraced.
Oa: ofr.be whole mass of candidates, the whig
Congressional ticket seems to be the only one
that is pure or worth contending for.
As we began, so we close- 4 the plot thick

the Grand Jury of Heard Superior Court.—
We, the undersigned, Grand Juror3, selected
i-./i the Superior Court of said county, at ihe October
unit, 1833, make the following presentments :
We Having examined die books of ihe County
Treasurer, aid nod, to our entire satisfaction, that
they have been neatly ana correctly kept: and further
auu, mat the books of trie different Clerk-?’ offices are
:n like condition.
While this body wonid with great delicacy, express
its opinion upon all subjects calculated to excite the
public mind, it would, notwithstanding, deem it crimi
nal to withhold its views upon any matter of public
interest, requiring their expression.
The subject of Internal Improvement is. at this
time, the most important measure iikelv to be brought
before the ensuing Legislature. This jury is in favor
of a wise, judicious system of Internal Improvement,
and would recommend to our Senator and Represent
ative to use their endeavors to have an appropriation
made for the improvement of the Chattahoochee river,
from West Point, as far up as is practicable, for boat
ing. The plan promised bv the last Legislature, of
loaning the credit of the state to corporate companies,
for their private benefit, we unhesitatingly condemn.
In taking leave ofhis Honor Judge Warner,we ten
der him our thanks for the efficient and sati'factory
manner iu whic.i he has presided during the present
lertn oi this Court. The .solicitor. General Young J.
Long, also has our thanks and approbation, for ihe
prompt manner with which he has discharged the du
ties ofhis office.
We request so much of these presentments as are
of a public nature, to be published in the Columbus
