On those excursions he is accompanied by
some twenty-five or thirty picked men, well

fabulous heroism of romance in the shade.
Deaf Smith is a man of groat modesty and
propriety of deportment, ami when bu can ho
prevailed on to narrate seme of bis adven

cions of I lie thrilling interest which limy urn'
calculated to oxcilo. I. ike thousand* of oth
ers, who have been unjustly and ignorantly
regarded as lighting for the spoil ol conquest,
he lias staked his life for liberty, against the
oppression ofs corrupt clergy and no impotent
court. Like his comrades in artiiii, he is ner
ved for the unequal, but already gloriously
successful struggle, by the sacred impulse of
freedom, mid both ho and they have learned
to endure hardships, and to encounter dan
gers, without a dollar in their pockets, or u
ration in their knapsacks.
Deaf Smith bears the character of a frank
open-hearted, honest and liimianc man—fur
humanity is a virtue not unknown in the camp
—the best soldier is be who cun and does led
tor the Bufferings which duty compels him to
inflict. Ho is very deal, am. hence Ins name.
When asked one day, if ho did nut line! much

Deaf Smith had just returned ftum one of
hie Incursions on the Rip Grande, wheji 1 saw

some valuable Inlbrmation, as to thu bungling ,
movements of tbn inert Mexicans, mid lur- (

from the United States to see the. young re

to iciiioniber what animal they resemble when

10 not like the brute monkey !)
A painter was once busily employed in de
corating, with fancy colors hoiiio carved work
011 tbo stern of a French brig which lay in the
harbor of Marseilles—and had a stage suspen
ded (or that purpose. A monkey which be
longed lo the Captain of an Amorieal vessel,
moored almost in contact with the stern of the
brig, appeared much interested in the pro
gross of the decorations, and watched the
artist very closely—mid occasionally as it lie
wished to criticise or ridicule the performan
ces, no would grin and chatter must furiously.
The painter although at first amused, si o 1
became indignant at the insolent bearing oftho
monkey and while jaeko was in the midst of a
critical dissertation, and appeared hugely
tickled at being able to discompose the nerves
oftho artist, Ihe laUerthrust Ins largest brush,
well charged with a beautiful verdigris green,
fell in the month of the chattering quadruped. 1
Jocko retreated to his habitation, exhibiting
inamlest sign* of wrath ami indignation. The '
Captain ol the vessel, who was acquainted
with the character ol the money, who would |
never miller u trick to ho played upon him, |
without retorting in kind, advised the painter ,
to he particularly cautious, or the monkey ,
would do him some injury.
The painter, however, laughed at the idea— 1
and soon ullor he lell his work, and entered a 1
eotl'eo house on the quay, where drinking a
cupel coffee, and in conversation with some
friends, lie passed half an hour.
in hi* absence tbo money left bis retreat —
and passed through a port on to the painter’s
stage, where all Ins pots, brushes, &c. were
deposited. Ile commenced an alia .k on the
ropes which held tho stage—and employed
his time so well, before ihe painter appeared,
two of them were nearly severed—and when
the unsuspecting artist placed his foot on the
stage for the purpose of resuming his work,Hie
ropes broke, ami painter, pots, paints, and
brushes were prceip'taled without ceremony
into the dock.
Then commenced the triumph oftho mon
key who sprung lo the gun wale, and wlnlt
gazing on the ll mmlering foe, he evinced his
delight by his gesticulations and Ins chatter
mgs!
The artist was fished out, but his paints, of
course were Just, ami his clothes were sauna
ted with the hr.ny fluid. His rage was unbnuii- 1
de l. As soon us lie was s ilely landed he seized 1
a club and rushed on hoard the vessel illicit- .
ening vengeance on ihe monkey which he nil
ilonbtedly would have killed on the spot had no
Jocko wisely rstreated'-'o the main lonnust
cross ileus where lie sal looking down trium
phantly on Ins enemy, who was pacing the
deck uttering inipreealatiun.s innumerable.
The painter then proceeded lo ms house
and returned with his fowling p.oee well
charged with buck shot, determined to bring
Jocko down by fair moans or fool—but the
e»pt. seeing the danger which was about to
behilt Ins misebevous favorite, appeased the
anger oftho painter by elVcring to pay for
thu hiss of tbe materials, and the damage to
his clothes. A treaty was concluded—but
Jaeko could not lie easily convinced of the
sincerity of tho opposite party' and fearing
siinie mishap, maintained his position on the
cross tree for several days.

Report of Committee “ on making the daily ex
changes of the Associated Banks,” made to
the Board of Commiasioncers at its meeting,
June 29, 1837 snd ordered to he printed.
The Committee to whom was referred the
subject of making the daily exchanges of the As
sociated Banks in Boston—respectfully report.
'That they find it to lie necessary lo satisfy
the minds ol hill holders and depositors, that the
hills of the Associated Banks have equal value.
Whatever may be the confidence which the
Banks have professed toward cacli other, the
public yet is to lie convinced that there is safety
in receiving the bills of all alike. The com
mittee regret lo say that there is discrimnation
now, which if continued will materially affect the
currency.
While il is admitted that it would be inquisi
tive to a degree not yet tolerated, that a strict
scrutiny should lie hud into the condition of
Banks whereby the allairs of individual persons
might be exposed, yet in the prevent very extra
ordinary mode of bunking, the bill holders {who
are in jut! the owners of the currency) have a
right to require that unusual restrictions beadop
ted.—Those restrictions so far as the bill holders
have any claim on the Banks to regulate them
selves, must he in the power lo control over issues
of hank bills.
The Associated Bonks) profess, by publishing
summary statements in newspapers, lo check such
over issues, and in so doing invite public confi
dence. But your committee is of opinion that
the present cheeks arc not sufficient, and that,
test should bo made every day, so that an excess
could lie immediately detected. Il knows of no
way so effective lo bring about this desirable ob
ject as to cause hills held by the Banks, com
monly called hills of other Banks, to he carried to
some ono place where cacli Bank shall be made
liable to redeem its own hills. In ease of over
issue the creditor Bank ought to be entitled to
receive Interest, with security which shall be sa
tisfactory to the Committee if the Hoard, By
adopting this mode of daily settlement, the Banks
will return to the good old practice of paying out
none lut their own bills, for the bills of other
Banks would be wanted for exchange. The mo
dern practice of paying out hills of other Bank*
is offensive to the public, and has an appearance
of distrust, which at this time more than ever
ought to bo avoided.
Your committee takes the liberty lo say that
in its opinion, much responsibility rests upon the
Associated Banks, because of public notice hav
ing been giving of their willingness to receive the
hills of each other in payment,. It docs not pre
tend to say that this makes a liability to continue
the agreement for any indefinite time; hut it
-r[ainly has the appearance of inviting a con
firm ’ c which implies obligation.

THE LAUNCH.
The noble ship Peenstlyania, the pride of
our Navy, and one of-the largest ships, if not
the very hugest in the world entered her destined
elementycsterday at precisely half past two o’clock
amid the deafening cheers of at least a HUN
DRED THOUSAND spectators, ft, was an
animating, a majestic sight, Tho river for a
great distance aiound, Was coveitid with vessels,
steam boats, and every variety of water craft, 1
whose decks Were crowded and whose very masts, 1
shrouds and tigging were alive with people, ;
Every tree, every post, every fence, every win- 1
dow, every roof, which overlooked the scene, had
its occupants. Wherever we turned our eye,
masses of human beings presented themselves.
At length the note of preparation is sounded 1
the onrnous click of the hammer is heard—everv ,
eye is riveted to a common centre—every heart |
palpitates with anxious expectation—and now,
after adolay, during which minutes seemed hours .
and hours days, the signal guns are beard
a general move is made among the mass the
breath is bold—not a word is spoken—the Hag 1
at the stern flutters—“she moves! she moves!" | 1
is heard—and lo! the huge, but beautiful sirtic- I
lure walks forth and descends slowly, but rna- 1
iestically, to her clement; and having entered,
gracefully yet proudly rises as if conscious of her ]
high destiny and looks down upon the su'r“ ]
rounding craft with dignified condescension and ,
multitude arc like the rushing-ofja mighty storm
land aiiswerclh unto water & the water unto laud
—and tho reverberations swell upon the air and «
roll upon the deep mingled with the roar of can- 1
not the event 10-’distam parts. Not an
accident has occured to mar the scene—not a ;
limb broken, nor a finger bruisedi *
And now, as the Leviathan of the Navy sits f
with the grace of a swan upon the waters, see the t
animating scene upon the river! thousands ofboals
are darting to and fro, swarming around her like r
pigmies, lively pigmies, around u huge Titan. 0
The river is alive, and recalls to recollection ,
the graphic accounts of the annual marriage cer- ;•
cuiuny on the Adriatic at Venice. Nothing can d
I.C *.rore beautiful or Cxhuatiting i would lb it
our pen were a pencil, that we might present lifts M
scene of life to the gratified eye ofjpur reader in 8
all its freshness, its variety, and its constantly 01
varying phases ; the task is, however, beyond -
our powers ; ours would be a picture wanting tht
breath of vilal^ —the spirit-stirring animation— j(
the feverish excitement of reality. t'
But wc must not lose sight of the all-absorbing ~
object —the noblel’cx-NsvLVAXii, the worthy -
daughter of the Key-stone State—the future de
fender of our Counlry’shonor, and her proud and £
lolly representative in distant seas. There she r
is ; —and what American heart does not beat with b
a quicker throb, and warm with a 'more ardent
patriotism, as he look* upon her graceful but j
lowering form, and sees her, in bis mind’s eye
annihilating with her thunders, those who shall
have dared to offer an insult to our flag, and com
manding respect and awing enmity wherever her
pennon flutters in the breeze, and her dauntless
prow breasts the deep. Long may she continue ,
lo be an object of affection to Pennsylvanians, of (
pride lo Americans, and of terror lo out enemies, ,
should it he our misfortune lo have them.
Wc cannot but repeat that it is a matter of the 1
most sincere gralulalion that not an accident of 1
any kind, that we have yet heard of, happened, ]
to dampen the general joy manifested on the oc
casion. This is attributable, in no small degree,
to the admirable and skilful arrangements of the
officers of the yard and the Naval architect, Mr,
Humphries, who bad every thing in hisdepartj
incut prepared in the most complete and judicious
manner possible. The ship, in going off her
ways, moved with the ease and silence of a mere
jolly boat, though with the resistless force of an
avalanche.
We do not recollect ot ever having seen so large
an assemblage of people, except upon one occa
sion—perhaps not even then; —we allude to the
entry of “the Nation’s Guest,” the good Lafay
ette, into New York, on his arrival in this country
in 1824. It is said that at least 40,000 persons
have arrived in this city within three or four days
past. These were probably all present, and every
man, woman and child, belonging to the city who
could go, turned out. The number present, there,
fore, could not have been short of 100,000. It is
estimated that there were at least three hundred
vessels and boats upon the river, and we saw both
shores lined with people as far as the eye could
reach.

IMPORTANTIFROM BUENOS AYRES.—
DECLARATION OF WAR AGAINST
SANTA CRUZ.
We have received the British Packet to May
271 h inclusive. The Argentine government, by
the proclamation of President Rosso, dated Bue
nos Ayres, May IBlh, have declared was against
Santa Cruz, the dictator of Bolivia, who, it ap
peard had invaded a portion of the Argentine Re
public—his officers carrying off considerable
sums of money, which they plundered of the
people. Santa Cruz refused to reply to the re
monstrances Jsont to him. He is also accused
of employing Unitarian emigrants to foment rev
, olution in the A. Republic, especially in the
provinces of Tucutnanand Salts; and that he has
thus prevented the restitution of the Province
. of Tarija, incorporated with Bolivia by an act of
, insurrection—that he has endeavored to promote
, dismemberment of other provinces of the Argen
tine confederation—that the occupancy of Peru
, by Santa Cruz is illegal, and a criminal aggres
sion against tho liberiy and independence ol t' e
. American States, and a nototious infringement
of the law of nations; That the concentration in
. his person of authority for life and the power to
. nominate his successor, is a volcnt act of despo
. tic usurpation, and, in fact, that the whole tenor
of his conduct shows a disposition to make tho
t South American Republics an empire under
, his away. The proclamation says that no terms
of peace will he accepted, unless Santa Cruz first
, evacuates Peru.—This declaration is followed
by a long manifesto of the causes which justi
| fy it.
Tho Republicans have been successful in the
province of Rio Grande. The Brazilian troops
have now only the towns of Rio Grande and
Puerto Alegre, both of which were in immediate
danger of being besieged by the republicans.
Bentos Mannel, who had joined the repubcuns,
proposed Joaquim Viera Chunba should be ap
pointed President of the new republic. Capt,
Grenfell was on the river Gonzalo with 6 gun
boats to prevent the republicans passing.

MONEY MARKET—CITY NEWS.
Wednesday, P. M.—There is nothing new of
importance for the city. Our debt due to Eng
land is every day diminishing. The packets which
sailed on Monday look about half a million of ,
dollars in specie, principally to Liverpool. The 1
amount that has gone forward since the banks c
have suspended is estimated at five millona of
dollars. This, with the large amount of cotton
that has reached England,and already on the way,
will go far to extinguish tho Amercan debt. In
deed it is stated by those most familiar with the r
subject that the amount now due to England does
not exceed live millions of dollars. ,
Thursday ,P. M.—Neither the Stock or Money 1
market has undergone any change of moment s
since the last arrival from Europe. We are now 8
looking with great anxiety for the packets of the
16th and 271 h of June.—These packets will tell 1
the whole story.
The “ report ” brought by the Pocahontas of
several houses haying failed, without giving
names, has caused much uneasiness which will, ■
no doubt, continue until farther intelligence is re
ceived. The mercantile failures in London that
followed the Bankers has not touched this city.

It is believed that the want of interest, ns well as
success, so often complained ot on the part of the
pupil in pursuit of t his Ncience, arises from the hab
it of commuting and reciting phrases without a clear
understanding of their import Greet care will bo
taken to avoid these difficulties, and the lessons will
be so arranged that the class will be led by natural
and easy progressions to an acquaintance with a
lew new principles in each succeeding Lecture—
buch principles only being illustrated as the class
is prepared to understand at the time tl.ey are pre
sented. *
Dr. V\ bite having fully and repeatedly brought
