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.

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.

Melancholy Accident. —We regret to hum that one of our most respectable merchants, Mr. Samui l Patterson, was killed on Saturday afVr noon last, whilst passing near a cotton w arehouse on Magwood’s wharf. The laborers w ere rolling cotton out of the second stoty.wheu a hug in de scending to the ground, struck another one, re bounded and crushed Mr. P. to the earth. He was taken away, and medical aid immediately procured, but he died yesterday morning, leaving a large family overw helmed by the dreadful eve at, Charleslqn Mercury “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.

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.” j Consignees per South faroiuia Rail Hoad.
