YV aehington Globe of the 25th ult.
gives the subjoined melancholy account of the
late of Mr. Stevenson and his wife, produced
by the persecutions heaped on Stevenson lor
his disclosures respecting the frauds practised
at thfe elections in tho city of New York, in
thfc ftili of 1838:
next movement was to sue him for
every debt, great and small, which he owed,
and his whole property has been already exe
cuted and sold to pay judgments, still leaving
a great balance against him; although, at or
dinary prices, and under other circumstances,
it was sufficient to liquidate the whole, and
leave him a competency.
The consequence of the continual fears and
distress in which Mrs. Stevenson
ceiving anonymous letters threatening her
husband’s life—hearing him daily abused in
the streets—seeing him daily pursued by
officers, with warrants of arrest, and finally
the whole of his property sold, and his affairs
overwhelmed in ruin—was, that her constitu
tion gradually gave way, and her sensitive
mind, unable to support itself under the ca
lamities which destroyed all the hopes of her
husband and children, ran into distraction,
and she is now, we understand, sunk, in the
intervals of her phrenzy, into a melancholy
maniac, confmad at the Bloomiugdale Asylum,
near New York.
Another event, equally afflicting:
Another Bank Robbery. —Our readers recol
lect that, but a lew days since, we announced
the failure of the Franklin Bank of Baltimore.
By the subjoined, from t'.e correspondent of
the Philadelphia U. S. Gazette, we le:<fn that
the late cashier of that institution, has ab
stracted $ 100,000 from it, about one-filth of
its capital. The effect of this robbery on the
family and friends of Mr. Ifawkins is calcu
lated to awaken deep sympathy; but a higher
duty requires that the culprit should receive
the reprobation of the pub ic. Cases of a
similar character have become so frequent,
that the powers granting bank charters should,
in all cases, make the penalty for a breach of
trust so great that no one would dare to vio
late it.
Baltimore, Jan. 20.
There is a good deal of talk in this city in
regard to the large defalcation of Mr. 8. 1,.
Hawkins, the former cashier of the Franklin
Bank. He was cashier of the bank for more
than twenty years, and managed to abstract
nearly SIOO,OOO of its funds. The defalca

OFFICE SEEKERS.
The following is an extract from the Wash
ington correspondence of the New York
Times and Evening Star—a whig paper.
A feature in the times, similar to that of the
Advent of Gen. Jackson, is the enormous num
ber ol applicants for office from tlie editorial
fraternity. It. is absolutely astounding, and
to thousands, as well myself, is revolting in
the extreme. Let hs true to our principles,
if we mean to be just, to the people. The
spectacle is truly disgusting. What! are men
who are patronised by the people, by their
jarty, and well patfowised too—are those men
who are annually in the receipt of sums va
rying from six th u*asl to twenty-live and
thirty thousand dollar a year, to coiue here
like so many sturdy beggars, and crave ap
pointments to some ol the most lucrative offices j
in the gift of the Government---*'and ask them, j
too, as their duf For what? For fighting j
the battles of the psopl6*-and do the people j
not pay them for this! I*et their subscription j
lists and boasted commercial patronage an : j
ewer. I complain wot if Editors ask for j
paper and twine* like Mas*€r Green o! B >ston. \
or your friend Isaac Ilill of the Granite Stale; j
these are legitimate objects for their craving?, j
knd in my of them are well entitled to them
for the.r labors. Let them, however, rest
satisfied with these, and divide the crust with
their neighbors, after the fashion of the amia
ble and excellent Mr. Butler, ot your city.
The spectacle of these men going cap in hand
with M. G.’s andex-M. C.’a, begging and im
ploring all around them tor their suffrages,
and boring those in high places, like so many
hungry cormorants for lr.vor, is degrading to
us as a people.

London. Jan. 4.
This being the 4th of the month, when there
is generally a scramble to find money to meet
acceptances falling due, the more prudent
class of capitalists hold hack on that account;
nevertheless, money is quite easy - , end there is
less demand for it than we have usually found
for some months past. This is a ratura! con
sequence of the limitation of credit and the
general contraction of mercantile business,
which has been in progress since the com
mencement of die late restrictions on the
currency* The January dividends coming
into operation on Friday next, we shall pro
bably have money vety abundant for a short
time to come; but we hope it may not tempt
people to launch out recklessly into specula
tions of different kin is, under the impression
that all danger is past, and that henceforth, we
shall have nothing to fear. Whilst we are
threatened with anew inundation of Foreign
stocks, from the negotiation of new loans by
so many Slates, both European and Ameri
can, we rmist recollect that die danger of a
drainjin the Bank of England is still impend
ing, and that this cause, without the assistance
of any other, is sufficient to enforce the utmost
caution.— Globe.

Philadelphia, Jan. 18, 11 P. M.
Third day of Resumption. —The little ex
citement that existed tor a time oh the sub
ject of our Banks resuming specie payments,
ap|iears to have entirely subsided, and the
cleiks in the different monied Institutions, are
* suffered to go on with their ordinary duties
1 without molestation. There was no crowd
nor pressure at any of the Banks to day; and,
jappaiently, quite as much specie being paid
.n at the receiving desk, as there was demand
ed in payment at the other desk.
Avery decided improvement was mani
fested in the stock transactions. United
States Bank advanced about 2 per cent, on
the closing rates of Saturday, with sales at
the Ist Board Brokers of 500 shares at the
advanced rates and much of it passed into the
hands of capitalists.

Liability of Tenants. —Heretofore we have
always understood it to be ‘good law that a
tenant occupying premises that were destroyed
by fire, remained liable for the rent until the j
expiration of his term; but in the Marine!
Court, on Monday, Judge Randall charged j
the jury that by recent decisions this doctrine
had been overruled, and that the ouster of the
tenant by fire exonerated him from the pay
ment of rent from the date thereof. If this is
true law, the people ought to know it.—.V. Y.

From the New Oileans Bulletin, Jn. 21.
&3~ By the steam packet Neptune, Capt.
Holeman, from Galveston, we have received
Texas papers to the 16th inst. They con
tain but litlle news in addition to that we gave
by the previous arrival.
I'he idea of war with Mexico has pretty
nearly died away. It is now ascertained there
are no Mexicans approachingthe frontier; and
the receipt of the English Treaty with the
provision tor the mediation, assures to Texas
for a time to come, a truce from Mexican ag
gression.
M. Saligny, the French Minister, has made
a proposition to the Texian Bongress, to es
tablish a line of French settlers along the
projected military road, to form a living bar
rier between the interior sttllcments and the
hostile Indians.
It is proposed in the newspapers (wc be
lieve it has not been moved in Congress) to
increase the duty on imported goods from 15
to 90 per cent, ad valorem. This, it is stated,
would be about equal to 15 per cent, in par
funds.
The editor of the Galveston Courier, in his
paper of the 16th, apologizes for the small
quantity of editorial matter, giving as an ex
cuse, tin)t the judges of the District Court
had sent him to prison for a contempt, for pub
lishing an article on the 24ih of the previous
month.
The English despatches for Mexico* taken
to Texas by Mr. Ikon, have been conveyed
by the Texian ship of war San Bernard to
Campeachv, thence to be transmitted to Mex
ico. This route, it is said, was intimated by
General Hamilton in London.
No less than six vessels, it is slated in the
Texas papers, were loading, at the last advi
ces, in Liverpool and London for Texas ports.
It is feared the market may be overstocked
with British goods.
The Buckeye Blacksmith. — This individua
was a candidate for the office of door keeper
ot the Ohio House of Representatives at the j
piescnt session, but was not elected. The
following anecdote, which originated during
his attempts to attain the post, is related of
him, and as it is published in ilie Toledo Biade,
a federal paper, and is marked by that pecu
liar refinement of expression which charac
terized many of his electioneering efforts, we
see no reason to doubt its genuineness:
“There is a story here (in Columbus) about
the celebrated Bear, the Buckeye blacksmith.
He wits a candidate for the Sergeant at Arms
of the lower House. For some reason, no
doubt a good one, he was not elected. Du
ring the progress of the caucusing, it appears
that a Mr. Birncv, of Springfield, a tailor by
trade, Was a Candidate for the same office.
One of Mr. Birnev’s (fiends proposed to Bear,
j that his friends should give their influence to
i Birney, and that Bear should be assistant door
| keeper. ‘What!’ said Bear, ‘a man who rev
j olmionized tvVo States —travelled with Clay
! and Southard—been the confidential friend of
Daniel Webster—been toasted from Boston
I to New Orleans, and basked in the smiles of
| the Empire and Keystone Slates—sung three
hundred whig songs, and made four hundred
; whig speeches, to he second to a d —d tailor?
I reckon not, by G—d. No, never.’ ”
The Dead Napoleon. —The Paris Corres
pondent of’ the Commercial Advertiser gives
the following thrilling anecdote,connected with
the funeral honors paid to the great Emper
or:—
You are aware that the convoi reached
Couibevoie on Monday afternoon. In the
night of that day two men, en bourgeois, or
il you will, in plain clothes, presented them
selves on board the Dorade steamer. The
I elder of them desired leave to approach the
I Imperial remains. He was refused, but a
1 whisper from him to ihe officer in command
l produced an immediate change. He was
