The Russian Minister (M. nr. Iloniscoo) gave
his promised entertainment last evening at his
Mansion in Georgetown. All the world waslherc
almost,—ami the fit was ihe grandest allair ever
known iu the District. Every thing in doors was
done in the host style of the l.’ourt. Russian,
French and American servants, almost without
number, and decker) in costly livery. Introduc
tions were formal, orderly, and conducted with as
much style and manner as though you had been
introduced to the Emperor instead of lire Ambas
sador. Four names were given at the door, re
peated audibly as you passed through the ball,
announced again by one of the Eiiilmssiiys us
you ascended the stairs, and re-announced as you
entered the reception room, received yout personal
introduction, and look the Minister by the baud.
All this was done with much ease, good taste and
convenience, both to the visitor and the parly visit
ed. Introductions over the whole house, —a ca
pacious and elegant establishment, —was at your
disposal. Ilelmv stairs, a suit of rooms with Ihe
floors tessellated and otherwise painted, wore open
for dancing, ami n hand of music in waiting.
Above, rooms were set apart for curd-playing and
other amusements. Ante-rhainhers and conser
vatories were fitted up for the reception and en
tertainment of guests, and the whole building,
in doors and out, tastefully and brilliantly illumi
nated. The ladiessupper room, lighted by means
of splendid chandeliers and silver candlesticks
well arranged, when the table was spread at one
o’clock in the morning, presented a must magnifi
cent appearance. The addition of the ladies sealed
at the table, dressed for the‘most part with great
good taste and elegance, gave the room an en
chanting and fairy-like appearance. Nothing
could have been more beautiful and clluctivo, to
the eye of the beholder. The gentlemen's supper
room was in another part of the house, and this
too whs arranged with the same good taste of the
ladies apartment. An epicure, gazing upon the
mountains of the good tilings of this life might

The Foreign Ministers, Secretaries of Eegatiun
and suites all appeared in their Court uniforms,
—some of which were elegant, others gaudy and |
in bad taste, mid still others worse than a militia

Austrian, Spanish, British, Dutch, Portuguese
and all the Foreign Ambassadors wore present in

Officers appeared in the uniforms of the Army

“All for Low. or v Fikiit Spoiled.—TTic*
New Haven Herald states that on Monday last
; two spruce young bloods having quarrelled about
their “ladcy love,” determined to settle the matter
in mortal combat, and agreed to meet in the bury
ing ground for that purpose, but on arming at
the scene of action, they found a cntchpole there, j
who took them before Justice Wheeler, and they
were bound over to keep the peace. It scorns j
that one of the parties, after sleeping upon it,
thought “discretion the better part of valor,” and j
called on the constable for protection. j
Imj-osta •• a Decision, —The Supreuu Conn
ot Ohio has lately given an important decision
in relation to the Banks of that State.
Some of the Banks there are in the habit of re
fusing to discount notes and hills, unless they art
made payable in New York, by which means they
gain the rate of exchange in addition to the in
terest.
One Hiram Paddloford offered his note to the
Bank of t'hiheotlie for discount. It was declin
ed. He then offeied a bill of exchange on New
York, signed by himself and others for $5,000.
The hank deducted the discount and exchange
and payed him $4,725,78. Paddleford ran away
Ithe bill was protested, and an a- lion was brought
against the signers to recover the amount.
Judge Hitchcock on the 9th December delivered
the opinion of the Supreme Court against the
bank. He laid down the following doctrine.
That the contract between the parties, as it ap
peared in defendant’s pica, though not void ac
cording to the general law, yet by the special law
of the charter was void.
Indiana, one of the newest of our estates, is
now making a canal four hundred and forty-four
miles long. This great work, the Wabash Canal,
is to reach from Manhattan, at the mouth of the
Maumee River, to Terre Haute, on the Wabash,
three hundred and ten miles; theneo by a cross
cut, twenty-four miles to Central Canal, and down
the southern section of that one hundred and ten
■> miles, to Evansville, on the Ohio River,in the
j south-western part of Indiana, making a total
J distance of four hundred and forty-four miles,
The summit level about two hundred feet above
Lake Brie is at Fort Wayne, Upwards of one
hundred miles west of Wayne is now ready for
navigation, and the whole will he completed by
October, 1839.
The Pvtriot Question in a Nut-Shell.
The following brief paragraph from the Detroit
Free Press, [-resents the whole merits of the Pat
riot question:
The people of the Canadas arc composed of
persons who were bom there—of lories who tied
there from the old thirteen -States during the
American Revolution—or of emigrants who, pre
ferring monarchical to republican government, -
have since settled there. Those who were there
at the time of the revolution might have had their
liberty if they had joined our fathers then. The
sons of those might have had their freedom dur
ing llie last war, if they desired it. and thought it
worth taking—and those who have emigrated
there since, have done so witli a full knowledge
that the Canadian government was a monarchical
and the American government republican, and
that they could settle and live in which they
chose. And if any of those classes or persons
wish for a free government now, they can emi
grate to the States and enjoy alUhe privileges of
■ American citizens. v
The Paris correspondent of the New York
American says—
M. Dezeimeris has just published a copious
memoir, and Dr. Goultier dc Ciaubry a large
pamphlet, in favor of re-vaccination. These
writers, and a crowd of others on the same side,
cite numberless eases and opinions drawn from
Great Britain, the north of Europe, and America;
and they finally concur in this general inference,
that experience and reason render it an obhga
lion of law In prescribe re-vaccination, and to
propagate It with the same, zeal as original in
oculation. Their special views are—lst. That
vaccination loses its preventive power after some
years, so that it no longer prevents small pox from
appearing, taking the regular course, and proving
fatal. 2d. That re-vaccination has the same origin
al power and final decline as vaccination ; and
that it succeeds the more certainly in proportion
as the time is remote at which the patient has had
Ihe vaccine disease or the small pox. The ques
tion whether the efficacy of the vaccine virus is
uut materially impaired after frequent transmis
sions through the human body, has been brought
forward in some interesting communication in
the London Medical Gazette.
Suicide. —A young man named Patrick Daly,
a native of Boston, committed suicide in this city
on Tuesday night, by taking laudanum. The
deceased arrived here on Friday last in company
with a young girl about seventeen years, who had
eloped with him from Boston, and came here in
the expectation that he would marry her. From
Friday until Monday they stayed at a hoarding
house in Broadway, and on Monday afternoon
removed to a house in John street. On Tuesday
night, about eleven o’c.oek, the young woman
who came with him from Boston, and was living
wilh him here as his wife, alarmed the people of
the house by coming down stairs and telling them
that her husband appeared to lie dyihg. A phy
sician was immediately sent for, hut arrived too
late to render him any assistance, and he died
before, morning. The bottle which had contained
the. laudanum, was found in his trunk, and it was
ascertained that the deceased purchased it him
self at a store in Chatham street. Nothing ap
peared to show what motive had induced him to
put a period to his existence. Verdict suicide.
As it is believed that the deceased has respect
able connexions in Boston, who perhaps might
wish to have his remains interred there, the Coro
ner has had the body placed in n vault, from
whence it can easily be removed, if necessary.
Another Suicide. —A German doctor named
F. AV. Speight, committed suicide also on Tues
day night at his lodgings in Read street, by cut
ting his throat with a razor. The deceased arri
ved here from Havre about six weeks back, and
with the last fortnight went to reside at the house
of a colored man named Toursant, in Read st.,
and on Tuesday evening was found dead in his
room, with his throat cut. Verdict, suicide.
AA’e received, a day or two since, a copy of a
letter from Gen. Gaines, on the subject of steam
floating-batteries,—which wo wish our limits per
mitted us to place entire before our readers : the
public would find much to interest and instruct
in the exposition of the General’s views. The
application of steam power to maritime military
purposes is strangely neglected by our Govern
ment: especially under the knowledge of the
constant and active attention which is paid to the
subject by the great naval powers of Europe. A
change is to come over the operations of maritime
welfare ; and the first collision between any two
European powers, will exhibit it. AVhat protec
tion would our maritime fortresses afford our ports
and harbors agai.'.st the incursions of steam war
vessels 1 Look at their efficiency in towing into
position, and relieving, the sail vessels at the at
tack upon Sau Juan do Ulloa !
A short time since wc called attention to Gen.
Gaines’grand system of Rail Roads, as auxiliary
to the national defence. The General may he be
fore the age in his ideas, hut let him remember
that De AA ilt Clinton lived long enough to prove
the fallacy of Mr. Jefferson’s assertion, that he
was a century too soon.
The part of the letter we extract refers to the
utility of those floating batteries as instruments in
scraping and deepening the channels of our groat j
outlets.— Mobile Chronicle.
Sour. Throat.— As this is the season when 1
many persons are afflicted with sore throat, it
may prove advantageous to some of our readers
to state that, the daily use of cold water, applied
to the neck, has been recommended ns a security
against this troublesome ailment. The following
. testimony on this subject is taken from one of
the letters of Sir AVultcr Scott, as published in
Lockhart’s life.
| “ AA’hen I was subject a little to a sore throat, I |
- cured myself of that tendency by sponging my
1 throat, breast and shoulders, every morning with
* the coldest water I could get.”

Upper Police. —Suspicion of Theft. —A few
days since a young gentleman in Baltimore, was
robbed of S3OOO, mostly in sloohillsof the Geo.
Rail Road and Banking Company, and ns yet no
traces have been heard of the thief. Yesterday,
however, a rough looking citizen calling himself
James Miller, a merchant of Baltimore, was ar
rested and taken to the Upper Police Cilice, on
suspicion of knowing more about this S3OOO than
he chose to disclose. It was ascertained that he
had exchanged an >IOO bill of the kind above
mentioned as stolen from Baltimore, and had
made purchases with the money, and among
other things a box of sham jewelry. As he had
told two or three different stories as to the manner
in which he became possessed of this hill, it is
presumed that he is not altogether what beseems
to he. and he is at present in prison, awaiting tar
dier examination.— N. Y. Courier.
Frozen to death. —A gentleman writing
from Dixon's Forty, Arkansas, under date of
Nov. 26, relates the following account. “A most
horrid affair happened at the three mile branch,
last week, and was discovered this morning by
Mr. Tulmadge, while looking after his cattle.
I About 80 rods above the Peoria road, he discov-
I ered a wagon, and 011 reaching it, found the horses
j fast in the mire, one dead, and the other alive, but
1 unable to stand up. On looking into the wagon,
he saw two men lying apparently dead. On ex
amination, one was found dead, frozen still’, and
the other was still alive, holding on to the corpse
of his fellow. Mr. T. procured help and took
| the live man to his house; who proved to be a
Mr. Smith, from Prophetstowu. The name of
the frozen man was Sir. Stephen Crook, of flic
same place. They had two jugs of whiskey in
i the wagon when found. They were probably
intoxicated at the time, and w hile lying asleep, or
unable to help themselves, the team left the road
entered the crock and could not get out.”
