Prisoner’s eyes are natural, to ■ me 'as JUli e. His size is such us 1 sup- j posed il would be, J L B was ill Uio day ho 1 left Clinton. Think prisoner resembles end Mr. Buukley. J U B's further dont, judge him so ifiucli from bis complexion und appea rance see similar actions in prisoner and (,1. U. B. Think prisoner's voice softer and smoother than J L IPs.

Have not been about with prisoner to get testimony, except last Saturday week. 1 ) took my horse and wont to see a lady, to see if she knew him. Thought J. L. B.’s face, i the upper purl of it, like prisoner’s it was net ! tlier a long, nor a round face ; tolerably full, J. L 11. ought to be pretty well educated | from the lime he went to school. D;d not I say, when I first went to Lawshoe’s, that pris | oner was n >t Buukley ; have never said it, in up Ido - I lave seen prisoner do acts which i have seen 15 llingslea do ; prisoner shewed a gesture of old Air.

He bent liims If and broke out into a great haw haw laugh, as old Mr. /jmikliy had done. Think this occurred upwards 20 years ago; think old Mr. /funkley died in 1812. Don’t recollect that J LB or his bro ; ther was present, when old Mr B. shewed this action As to prisoner’s wnt'iig, never saw him write but two or throe times, and that was his own name and Ins mother’s. Gave j him a letter which no man but myself Inis j hejsaidjit was mailed at Columbus, and j mentioned the date; said Turpin Atwood had written in that letter, for my waggon and j team ; which was correct, lit) did not road iit out; us soon as he teld mo the contents I i was satisfied ; prisoner refused to write at Mr 1 Towles’and said Its hand trembled so that he i could not write ; have seen him write his name j both before and alter tint 28th Witness— Willie Patterson. —Knew 1 J I, B while he lived in Clinton, and till he b-ll here; often saw him; knew him ns he ! p issed, as well as 1 knew other boys.

When prisoner stepped into the piazza, lie 1 brought to my view old Mr. Wm D. Buukley, , from the upper part ol Ins face; from his eye slop.

' There was a very Interesting and ai imated discuss on in the House of Representatives today ’ in relation so the Florida War. . Mr. CAMBRELING, from the Cbmniiteo of Ways and Means, reported a hill appropriating one milli ,i of dollars fur suppressing Indian ’ Ho* lilies dor ng the present year. This bill was accompanied with h communication, from th ■ Secret ,ry of War representing the necessity ■ of this up|iru| r- lio , nd a re| orl from the acting Quarter Master General declaring that the Go vernment is embarrassed for want of funds, and I . . . • that more money is required both .fur the service i in Florida, and for the protection of ilie North ern Frontier. Mr. CAMBKEI.ING, slated that the appro priation proposed was immediately demanded by the exigencies of the country. In order to pre vent any discussion or delay bo had determined to put off fur the present the general appropriation for this service. There was a bill of that general chaiacter making appropriation of two millions I eight hundred thousand [dollars'! and when it came up gentlemen would have an opportunity of debating the general subject. He now asked the House to refer the bill to the Committee cf the Whole! and to go into Committee at once upon it. Mr. WISE opposed the motion. He maintain ed that enormous appropriations were extorted from the House in lire manner now proposed. And he the House to meet the question now, for if tills spploprialion should be granted, there would be nothing at all to discuss. Mr. HERE said he had examined the grounds of this motion ; and believed there was a neces sity for an immediate appropriation of a consid erable ariroun'. Mr. CAMBRBLINO’S motion prevailed : and the House resolved itself into Committee of the Whole, and lookup the Bill. Mr. WISE then opposed the Bill at length in a speech of great spirit and force, in the coutsc of which he charged the Administration of ex travagance | mid took occasion to comment in severe terms, upon what he called the perfidious and treacherous conduct of General Jcsopi Mr. DOWNING, the Delegate from Florida, replied in a speech of some length, defending the j Administration; and maintaining thu necessity of the appropriation asked for. Mr, WISE rejoined, and went at length into i the consideration of the management of the Flori da war. ; Mr. COLBY ofMaino, followed in defence ol the Administration; add in support of the appro priation. Gen. THOMPSON, of S. C., then look the floor; and icpliod at length to the remarks of Mr. Wise. After a few words of explanation from Mr. Everett of Vermont, the Committee rose; and the House adjourned without coming to any decision on the Bill -1 The Senate were engaged during the whole day with the discussion of Mr. Grundy’s Bill for the protection of passengers in vessels propelled by steam. No decision was conic to. During the morning hour, Mr. Webster, refer red to an infamous attack contained in the Globe of Saturday night upon him. The article char ges that his bills to tire amo'unt of ten thousand dollars were protested by tiro Commonwealth Bank of Boston. Mr. Webster declared th t ho did not owe and never had owed a dollar to that bank and that no note or acceptance of his or any clerk or agent of his had been protested by that bank. The accusation was entirely with out foundation. M. From the N Y. Drily Ei/tress Jan 22. THE NAVY ISLANDERS. The following extracts from the Buffalo papers of Tuesday, comprise all the intelligence from I Navy Island : From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser. The Patriot Ahmt Disbanded—The Bar celona. —Night before last the distant Pat | riot Army on Navy Island evacuated that posi i lion, crossing in llw-ir boats to Grand Island, sur i rendering their arms to tire United Slates aulho> | rities, and disbanding llrrir force*. The cannon i belonging to the Stale were returned in scows to j Sehlos-sor, and on lire way, with all the men on board, came near going over lire Falls. The British Flag was yesterday morning hoist ed on Navy Island. The Barcelona went down to Schlosser yes terday morning. Three armed British schoon ers, upon the supposition that sire was to bring up the munitions of war of tire disbanded army, were stationed below Black Rock to intercept her, with orders to hail her, and upon her refits ■ j ing to lay to and be searched, fire upon her, i j We understand that the proper representations i having been made to the British Commandant |by Gen. Scott, she came up early this morning . j without molestation, to Black Rock Dam, where . j she now lies. We trust that this vexatious war I | so fir us the Navy Island men arc concerned, is I | ended, and that no measures will be taken to rc fiincentrate tit* disbanded forces. [ The disbanding of tire force at Navy Island has i furnished an opprtunity for ascertaining the num . her who were there assembled.

From the Buffalo Slur. British Cr.tMii.vev//—During the present d ferocious warfare upon the Patriots of Canada, y incidents of an appalling character have been re lated to us, which we shall, as we have opportu nity, give to our readers. Not many days ago, two negroes came into Toronto, bearing the head, g as they supposed, of one of the proscribed Patri „ ots for whom a reward of £5OO had been offered II by the Governor. It turned out, however, that they had made a 3 mistake, and had killed the wrong man !! ! Thus 1 we have a government upon our borders which r oilers to Indians and negroes n reward for white men’s heads, and to slaves of the South a bounty I for the scalps of their masters. 5 CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.

The alarm is altogether unfounded. The Banks clear of the corrupting touch of the Government have not even hfcon 1 suspected. The Boston Advertiser says, that an aiiangcmenl has been made by the Associated Banks, by Width the bills of all the city Banks now continue to be taken by the Assofcialfcd Banks, and that those which dre considered to I be in an undue proportion will not be reissued, but will be provided for by a special arrangement; By this arrangement the Public will be supplied will! a sound circulation, and all reasonable ground of tho apprehension lot the future, we ' think, will be removed. i The iddltor of the New Orleans, Picayune is i one of the most quaint, amusing, and witty wri ters of tho whole Editorial Fraternity.

LATEST FROM CANADA. , NcvVS to the Bth iifst. frnin Buffalo had been received at New York, by which it appears that Navy Island had bfion moved a considerable dis tance towards the Canada shore, by tho efforts ol ( two or three scheming Yankees. They had made out to place a couple of long pieces of lim ber under the entire island, patriots and all,with out their knowledge, and of course without their : consent. Having attached a lino to thesb tiin s hers, the speculators, who had received the mo.-t splendid oilers from Sir Francis Head, the Gover nor, started off’ with their skiff’, Navy Island in i tow! Before reaching the Canada side, the Is r land, unfortunately for the smugglers, struck a snag, i startled the sleeping sentry. “Who goes there?” said tho watchful watch men on waking, r “Nohoby,” said the Yankees. 1 “What are you about?” continued the over seers of the peace of the patriots. ‘ Nothin, only movin Navy Island, that’s all.” “How arc you doing it?” 3 “By the job, how do ye think t” ‘ Yes, and a line job you’re making ot it.— 1 Where do you suppose wo are going to ?” ( “Why, we rather reckon you’ll go ovei to Can -1 ada and be hung over the Falls mid be knocked 3 to flinters—depends all together on sareumstan t ces. So saying, and finding their low had stuck r fast, the Yankees cast off their painter and them selves with it, leaving the Patriots within point ’ blank shot of tho Royalists, in which situation " wo now leave them. Previous to this, an effort had been made by Col. McNabh to build a dam aeros-s the river just above the Falls, in order to inundate the pat riots. This folly of the simple Scotchman was, caused by Cov. Head’s bawling out, in a fit of s anger, “D n the rebels. ’ Col. McNab is n 3 lurid constructionist and ligid disciplinarian— and of course considered himself bound to obey the Governor, however futile the attempt might . prove. Finding that every tiling lie threw in the . stream was immediately swept over the Falls, he . at length abandoned the project in despair. , Dr.niv.vno.v of tiik worn} “Loco-foco.”— 1 ; The term loco-foco is a Batin word, derived frent 0 : tho English.
