himself ‘so admirably, that more than half
of the audience who were unacquainted with
Major Lee, and not aware of his absence,

The community are certainly very much
indebted to the members of this ‘Band ‘for the
public spirit which they have evinced in_t11€lr

successful efforts ofindustry and talent which
have won the applause of all who attended

the opinions which we have heard expressed,
we believe that the public are ready to

they can reasonably desire; and we hope that

This little work which was first presented
to the public about a year ago, has already
reached a. fifth edition. This fact speaks
well for the correct taste and goodjudgement
of that portion of the public who take an in-
terest in the moral and intellectual culture of
the rising generation. The accompllished
authoress has been herself a teacher, and
feels a special interest in the young of her
own sex. She says, that this little volume,
(which consi_sts_ of original articles in prose
and verse,) has been_ framed, on the principle
of combining with the accomplishment of
reading, sentiments that are feminine in their
character, and knowledge that enters into the
elements of woman’s duty. It should bein-
troduced into every female school in the land ;
and we earnestly solicit the attention of pa-
rents and teachers to_its peculiar merits, It
speaks to the interesting class for whom it is_
designed _‘‘as the voice of a friend,” and we-
cordially unite in the co_ncludi_ng sentiment.

Hartford, Dec. 20th, 1838.
From Me:z:ico.—The New-_Orleans Bee
contains an account of a battle on the 30th
Nov. between the Government troops who
made an assault upon the city of Tampico,
and abody of troops attached to the Federa-‘
tion party. The Government .troops were
repulsed with great slaughter——upwards of
400 being killed, wounded and taken prison-
ers.
' It -is said, that the Mexican Government
have refused to acknowledge any of the ar-
ticles of icapitulation entered into between the
French and Mexicans at Vera Cruz, and that
no treaty whatever would be ratified, and de-
clared that the whole country shall be made
a sepulchre before the demands of France
are complied with. It is therefore highly
probable, that ere this, war has been formal-
.y declared between Franceand M exico.

The Pennsylvania Legislature,-—We learn
from the Harrisburg Telegraph of the 25th
ult. that the Senate have, at last, recognized
the Loco-Foco branch of the House of Rep-
resentatives, known asthe “Hopkins House,”
by the adoption of the following’ preamble
and resolutions, by a vote of seventeen to six-
lcen :
“ VVl1ereasuliliic1il1ies have arisen in the or-
£."cIniZ_£1tion of the House ofRepresentatives,and
two bodies have for some time been in existence.
each claiming to be llie regularly constituted
House of Representatives of Pennsylvania, but
neither having had a coiistitutioual quorum of
members whose seats were tiridisputerl, and nei-
ther has yet been fully recognized by the Senate.
“ And whereas. the House organized by the
.f_—-‘
marks, that

ceipts from duties n
all the ordinary pii
election of \Vm. Hopkins. as Speaker. is now
composed of a constitutional quorum of legally
returned members. and being thus brought with-_
in the pale of the constitution, the Senate ought
no longer to refuse to recognize the said House
as the properly organized House of Representa-
lives; Therefore,
“Resolved. That a committee be appointed to
course, this mo::e_v
people.
inform said House. that the Senate is rtpvz or-
ganized and ready to proceed to business.
“ This same Senate. but a few days since de-
clared by a solemn resolution, by a voteof 13 to
20, that this same ‘ Hopkins House’ was ‘no
and that all their acts were null and void."
The Telegraph severely denounces the six =
Senators who liavethus recorded their solemn
votes upon both sides of this question, and
charges them with having basely bowed to
mob-rule—proved recreant to their trust——
disgraced their constituents-.—Clegraded the
Commonwealth, and dishonored their coun-
tr ’.
The N. Y. Express thus comments upon
the matter:
" Fraud and Force we see have won the day-—
the Fraud first perpetrated by Charles J. Inger-
soll, and the Force first rallied in the Capitol to
prevent the legalprinzafoeie organization ofthe
Legislature. The consummation of the Fraud
will be in lngers_oll’s appearance on the Wasli-
ington Theatre next winter, with his primafa-
cic certificate attempting to vote for a Speaker
of the House.
“ We are not sorry to see an end ,-of the vio-
lence at Harrisburg-—-but we regret to see such
an end. Thefirsl step, wasthé outrageous vio-
lation of the rights of majority in giving Inger-
soll the certificate which belonged to Naylor.—
Certain it is, but for thatstep, no difficulty would
have occurred—and whether retaliation for a
wrong thus enormous was right or wrong. is a
matter upon which men’s opinion will divide.
Were there not two opinions about the act oftlie
mob in the Legislative Halls of Harrisburg, we
should liink it impossible there could be two.
Now, as it is, itcan be only with the most un-
blushing etfrontery, that lngersoll will attempt
to sneak into a Congressional seat.”
From the Louisville Daily Advertiser, of Dec. 17.
Bnoonv AFFAIR.—A startling tragedy occur-
red in this city on Saturday evening last, in
which A. H. Meek was instantly killed, and7fJolin
Rothwell mortally woundcd.——William Holmes,
severely wounded, and Henry Oldliam slightly,
Wilkinson, and his brother B. VVilk ins:'on'of
Natchez, and J. Murdough, of Holly Springs,
Miss. It seems that Judgge \Vil_kinson had or-
dered a coat at the shop of Messrs. Varnum
&, Bedding, The coat was made; the judge,
accompanied by_liis brother and Mr. Murdough,
went to the shop ofVa1-num & Reddiog, tried
on the coat, and was iritcted, because, as he
believed, it did notfit him. Rcdding undertook
to convince him that he‘ was in error. a1'—.d.vea-
tured to assure thejudge that the coat wasftnade
well. Tlie. judge instantly seized an iron poker,
andicommenced an attack on Redding. The
blow was partially worded off. Reddtng grappled
his assailant, when a companion of the judge
drew a bowie knife, and but for the interposition
and interference of the unfortunate Meek. ajour-
ncyman tailor,»‘and a gentleman passing by at
the moment, Redding might have been‘_:_assas~
sinated in his own shop-
Shortly afterwards, Reddingflllcelr, Rothwell
and Holmes went to the Galt. House. They
sent up stairs for Judge \Vilkiuson. and he came
down into the barroom, when angry words were
passed. The Judge then went up stairs again,
and in n. shorttime returned with his companions,
all armed with knives. Harsh language was
again used. Redding was told that he lied,
and he responded by saying be supposed he
would have to takegit, as he was unarmed, but
remarked that if they would lay aside their
weapons he could whip all three of them.——-
Meek, in consequence of some remark made,
felt called on to state what he had seen of the
conflict in the tailor‘s shop, and did so, and
Murdough gave him the d—_-_-d lie,’ for which
Meek struck him vyith _a riding whip which
he had brought with him from Bardstown,
from which place he had justtravelled on horse-
back. On receiving the blow with the whip,
Murdotigh instantly plunged his I_3owie knife
inlo'.the’ abdomen of Meek, and killed liim on
the spot. ' ' ' '
At the same instant B. R. VVilkineon at-
tempted to get at Reddiug, and Holmes and
Rothwell interfered or joined in the affra_v.——
Holmes was wounded, probably by B. R. VVil-
kinson ; and the judge, having left the room for
an instant, returned, and finding Rotliwell
contending with his brother, or bending over
him, be (the Judge) stabbed Rothwell in the
back, and inflicted a. mortal wound. Itdoes not
appear that Oldham was concerned in ‘the con-
ict. He was probably wounded by mista.ke.—
In a few inonients after the conflict took place,
the .City Marshall was on the spot to apprehend
the offenders, Redding having sent. for him with
a view to have them taken for the assault made.
in his shop.
Such are the facts, as detailed to us; but it
is proper to say that we have heard other and
conflicting statements. Judge VVilkinson, his
brother and Murdough are in prison, and will
probably be brought before the examining court
to day, when the affair will be better understood.
The public mind is highly excited, but we trust.
every citizen will __feel the necessity of acalm
reliance upon the operation of the laws. Let
strict justice be done. Let the laws be firmly,
impttrtially and rigidly enforced. No good cit_i-
gen can desire more. None will be C0nl.e_I'1.l'«
with less. ’
