' Two slavers, one a ship and the other a

the crews of both, and 200 slaves on board
the brig, were saved. It was reported of

liundrcd slaves, but during a hurricane (in
the prosecution of her voyage) her hatches
were battened down. and on opening them
after the hurricane had siibsir.led, it was dis-
covered that 300 of the slaves had (lied from
suflbcation and want of food. The gale re
commenced, the hatches were battened a sec-
ond time, the consequence of which was an
adlitional 300 slaves pcrised from the some
causes, and 100 of the remaining 300 slaves
died on the passage to l\{Iozai'rrhique liarbor,

N. 0. Bulletin, 15b.l inst.
P-lracy of lite Ilmlsrm Rive7°.—A daring
outrage was committed on the Hudson river
a few evenings since, on board /the schooner
Carol], belonging to this city, and command-
ed by Captain Michaels, of Newbiirgh. The
schooner was proceeding to the latter‘ place,
and when opposite Peeksltill, the captain
was hailed by three-men from tlre shore. who
requested to be taken as passengers to New-
bu i‘gli. The captain consentt-d——-biit the
men had no sooner boarded the vessel than
they seized the captain and wrested from him
the helm, and threatened without instant sub-
mission he should be placed under hatches.-—
‘With no other lorcethan a young irran and a
small boy, Captain Michacls sawthat the
odds of strength was against him, and there-
fore attcmpted no other focible i‘eslstirncc,
but to retain sixty dollars in money which
was then in possession. This the unwel-
come passcngers attemped in vain to get.
The vessel was immediately putabout and
proceeded as far as l3cdlow’s Islantl, wlrere
Capt. Michael and his two hands, after for-
swearing several oaths, and rising alternate-
ly threats and entrcatles, prevailed upon two
of tho intruders not to resist their going on
shore while the other sturdily o posed it, but
ll‘\‘\'l1lCl1 Capt. Michaels and his lr'rr'ids suc-
ceeded. The vessel was seen immediatr-l_v
under way toward the Jersey waters, and
has since been found there striped of every
article ofriging, sails. and apparel, and scut-
tled arid sunk in shallow water.
- Captain l\='lichaels ascertained the name of
one of the men to be Dean Vaurlovcndei‘, of
New Jersey, and forthwith applied to E’. I.
Fanclior, Esq. of N. Y. for legal dircction,
in order to bring the villain to justice.

an operation was pcrforinod upon Mr. John
Bc-itzcl, Keri;-iirgton, on the 15th of May lest,
which promises entire success.
The disease was on the right side, a great
part of the lung being occupied by an abscess
which communicated with the cavity of the
chcst——thc diagnosis being based upon pbys
ical explcratlori.
An incision was made about three inches
long between the sixth and seventh ribs; a
gum elastic tube was introduced intotl‘.-e cav-
ity of the abscess, and the pus drawn off by
means of a pump. The orifice was kept
open and the tube applied until the pus
(which amounted to 24 ounce_s) was entirely
removed.
The patient -immediately after the opera-
tlollficfllllé entirely relieved ; his cough sub-
side , andhis respiration became easy. He
is now .:onvalesci-.-nt, having had no bad syru-

In both Houses on Thursday, resolutions of
respect were passed in memory of Hon. An-
son Brown, it member of the House from
N. Y., who died at his residence in Balls-'
ton on Monday. Both Houses adjourned, as
is customary and proper, without transacting
any other business. ‘
In Senate, on Friday, a report was presen-
tcd from the Secretary of the Treasury, in
answer to a resolution offered by Mr. South-
ard From this it appears that the whole
receipts fi‘om the Treasury from January to
July lUl'10l1lIl.-;:‘Cl only to six millions. The
resolution to employ “sworn i'eportei‘s” and
the Mount Cariricl and N ‘.V Albany Rail-
road Bill, were the sultjects of long debate,
M r. V\.7ebstci‘ defending the lattter.
In the House, after rcc-eption of reports,
S:c., the Si.rb-Treasur‘y Bill was taken up
and clcbated.
In the I-louse, on Saturday, after the dis-
cussion and adoption of a resolution to print
2300 copies of a survey and lithographic
map ofthe coasts of Georgia and the Cairo-
linas, the .gub-Ti‘e-.;sur'y Bill was again taken
up.
in Senate, on monday, reports were re-
ceived from the Pcrrsioii Coiriiriittee. The
bill to give the assent of Congress to the acts
ofthe Lcgisl:itirr‘e of 'Virgiiiia incorpor‘r.tirrg
the Falinouth and Alex:rndr‘ia Railroad was
taken up, and caused a long discussion.-—
The l2‘:snki'upt Bill was next calleil, and Mr.
\'\'right of New York, presented a memorial
which was read and ordered printed. It
prays, that the bill shall not go into operation
until twelve months from the date of its cir-
actirient, and that it shall not apply to debtors
except in cases where a majority ofthe cred-
itors are willing. The debate was contin-
ued to a late hour‘.
In the House, a resolution was offered to
take the Sub-'I‘reasui‘y Bill out of Commit-
tee on Friday next, whether or no. The
yeas and nays were taken, and the motion
‘was lost, only 100, not two-thirds, voting in
its favor. The discussion of the bill in com-
mittee was then rcsuirrcd.
In Sciiatc, Tuesday was a day of industry.
The time from 11 in the for-enoon till (3 in
the evening, ivaa spent upon the Bankrupt
Bill, not so much speeches, as in the adop-
tion or rejection ofolfercd airierrdmcnts. A-
mong the aiirendrrrents adopted were: that
the debtors applying, shall give a list of his
debts and creditor's, to prevent collusion in
certain cases between the iicbtor and a por-
tion of his creditors; refusing the benefit of
the bill to any debtor, who, in view of the
passage of the act, has, since January last,
given pl".'llJ!‘t.’l1t‘.L‘ to one crcrlitor over another";
allowing a trial by jury, in certain cases, on
the i'oii-.onstr.ir_ii:c of half the creditors; post-
poningjtlie operation ofthe bill to l'\.l:irclr 4,

tors; confining tlrc operation of the bill to

instead of being appointed by the court.
The arriouirt of debt necessary to entitle

JOHN TY LER, of Virgiriia.
J/Fonrtrrr 01-‘ JULr.——lt will be seen by the
programme publislred‘in_ another column, that
the anniversary of our nation's birth, is not to
pass in ignoble silence, in this place. In the
absence of all other action on the subject,
the Norwzilk Lyceum, with conrmendahle spirit,
resolved that this important day in American
history should receive its due observance. It
is expected that the day as is usual will be ush-
ered in‘b_y the ringing of bells, and the car2non’s
deafening roar. The evening will be enlivened
by the display offire works from the green near
the churches. There is reason to expect that
the day will pass offin a very interesting and
rational manner. _
Our own citizens generally, as well as those
of ireiglrborlng towns, are invited to attend and
assist in doing justice to the occasion. I
This MUZZLED CA;\‘DIDATE.—-Alhflng all the
foolish errors committed by the opposition since
the nomination of General Harrison, the most
unforiunate and injurious is, their refusal to re-
cognise the right ofthe American people to know
from his own lips, on what gmirndstlreyare call-
ed upon to place him in the Presidential chair.
and what principles and measures he would a-
dopt. as the clrcif Executive of ilie nation. A
more direct insult to ilre good sense and intelli-
gence of the community, was never before coin-
mined by any political party, and ifitlre whigs
do not abandon the dangerous position they have
assumed in this particular, it will sink them as
a party much lower than they have everyetbeen
in public cstiination.
The foregoing we cut from a loco foco paper,
one that we deem the most fair and candid pub-
lished in the state. \Ve copy it, not because it
speaks ostensibly the sentiments of llratjourual
alone; but because it is a leading topic among
the presses oflhat party throughout the country,
commencingof'course wiih the Globe, for it was
there they first received form and consistence.
it bears the impress of Amos Kerrd.’ill’s band in-
asmuch as it is based on falsehood and was evi-
dently written for the purpose cf ntis-leading
ihose who are too ignorant, or too inuclr warped
by prejudice to take hold on truth. It is wel
known by ilie more intelligent of the adminis-
iraiiou party, that Gen. Harrisou’s opinions on
all questions ofvilal importance, are sulliciently
well undcrstooil. Hisgpublic career has been

not only endorsed, but recently reiterated by

But the complaint. is made that reference is
maile to these records instead of explicit cata-
gorical 'answers to interrogatories propountled.
Now, here is a characteristic and glaring dis-
honesty. For there is not, we suppose, any
higher authority wiili our discontented friends
than General Jackson. “the greatest mill the

was right in Gen. Jaclison is essentially wrong
in Gen. llarrisou.
The parzxgraplr quoted above. partakes very
much ofthe nature of Mr. Kendall's address in
hclralf of clc:/zocrac-_i/. which was written for ef-
fect, wliolly irrespective of honesty or the claims
ofcomirron justice. Baseless assertion, though
put forth by Mr. Kendall, will not weigh much
against the recorded evidence of better men than
Mr. K. of his own party, in favor of the man
whose public and private worth it is his ambi-
tion to blast. -

If this Sentinel chap’s ears were not longer
than his pen, he would give fewer exhibitions of
his abortive wit upon others, and bestow more
attention upon himself. This course would have
a tendency to correct some of his frequent irreg-_
ularities, and render him lessjdisgraceful to the
community who have generously suffered him
to take up his abode among them.
A VVHALE AND A VVEASEL.-—-II. has been
remarked, and with some degree ofjustice, that
the administration of General Jackson was a
bold, vigorous and successful one. What can
be said ofihat of the little man who is trying to
straddle in his footsteps? Has itsprogress been
remarkable for anything but weakness and dis.
honesty’! No. Anda miserable and humiliating
failure will _be its eml.
