Ra!/icr Poizrlc/Z.——A correspondent of
the Exeter News Letter, in a spirited and
liumorous account of the celebration of the
Seventei-th, sa)s——"I do not like to discuss
the Presitli.-rit’s dress or his drink. but I think
his Porlcr is unwliolesome, and I dislike
the cut of his Spcizcer. I believe the people
and the President too, will soon be, if they
are not now, of the same opinion.”
A Queer C0Zt—'l‘lie Rome N. Y. citi-
zen states that a t‘r'lr. Brown, of Lee’Center,
has a colt with two perfectly formed heads
and necks. The Colt is large and full
grown, and perfect in all respects. 'l‘he
heads are precisely alike, and the necks
entirely distinct and s- parate frorri the
breast and shoulders; the spines of the necks
continue. on through the burly, in two sepa-
back bones, uniting at the tail.

Death from Karcosnle.--—Dr. Boardman,
whose death is recorded in our paper to day,
we understand, lost his life from taking this
dangerous nostrum for the loot/i ac/ic. A
particle of it got into the throat, and caused
sncli inflammation as to stop the breathing
passage. If a regular physician cannot
safely take it himself, certainly it is a dan-
gerous articlc for others to use.—Ifa.rl. Cour.
Mr. l/Vebsler.-—Runiors are rife, that the
late Secretary of State will take an early op-
portunity to show that his flliflflltl-t‘nl to the

broken, notwitlistanding what has been sus-
pected for his over‘-long adherence to Mr.
'I‘yler’s adiiiinistration.
Saizd-irricit Islands.-—A letter‘ from Hono-

was three per cent.——Bost. Adv.

From Yucalaiz.-—VVe have hand bills of
the 2d and 3d inst. from Merida, containing
dates from Campeacliy to the lst inst, wliiclt
are probably not so late, as our lorrner advi-
ces via. Sisal. On the 31st of May and lst
ofJune the Mexicans were embarking troops
at Lermzi on board the steamer Regenerador.
Four Mexicans deserters came into Cain-
peachyJune lst from the eminence at San
L‘~zai'us,'_which points, it appears were still
held by the Mexicans. ' The deserters re-
poi'tetl’that orders had been received to em-
bark battallions No. 7, and Zacatecas for
Luguna, and that the invaders were occupi-
ed in removing the artillery which had been
posted on the eminence.

A special session of the Mississippi Legis-
lature is to be held in July, when the ques-
tion ofdistricting the State will doubtless be
considered. The ‘Whig Convention recr-nt-

T/Vt-l)slci"s .B’ll.71d‘(,’I' Hit./. A(Irlrcss.——The
New York Courier‘ and Enquirer speaks
thus of the brilliant effort. ofthe highly gifted
orator on this eloquent occasion: ‘Tire re-
port of the oration, such as it is, is before the
publlc; but we speak not of that. We
speak of his speech as we lieu rd it delivered
as we saw it at;/crl—-arid are free to declare
that it was an iflort of mind such as we
deemed it impossible even for Daniel W’:-b-
ster to make. VVe have repeatedly said, that
in our estimation, Mr. \V« lisier is not only
without a rival in the United States, but
that even Europe can boast of no such
rriiglity intillect. He is in truth I/Le man
of tire age whose gigantic intellect places
him in ii position where he is witliout a rival;
and all who heard, saw, and could appreci iii-
the great oration which he deiivered on
Bunker Hill on Saturday, the l7th of June,
were p.'~irtitip:itors in an intellectual treat.
such as in all probability, none of their
absent countrymen will ever enjoy, and the
recollection of which should be treasured
up as a misc-r boards the god of his idolatry.’
During President Tyler’s visit to New
York there was much strife between the
oflice holders and office seekers to see who
could be most assidious in their attentions
to the dispenser of government patronage.——-
The (‘0llt‘CH)l‘, Postmaster, riavy agent, and
lVlv'tl‘Sllt1l, kept constantly in the presence of
ilie great man, and ate, drank and rode with
him. Mayor Morris and others who was
seeking to undermine these office holders.
were also very attentive; but Curtis and
Graham seemed to oiitmanage their rivals
altogether in the ludicrous strife for the pos-
session of the President’s person. For in-
stance the American relates the following:
"On one occasion, when the great man was
to go to some garden or theatre, the Mayor
and the President of the coinrriittee, who had
been for sortie time uneasy at seeing him
quietly seated bi-tweeri the Postmaster and
collectoi'-—czrcrz.dcs am!/o-—i'emirided him
that the hour had come. Iininediately all
sprang up,un«:l the collector ofh.-ring an arm
on one side and the Postmaster on the other,
the three particle--d down to the. carriage, into
which they put the President, and then —not
having before their eyes the fear or respect
of the miinicipality——tbi=y incontinently
jumped in after him, and drove off: leaving
his honor the Mayor, and his worship the
Alderman, bowing on the side walk !”
The Madisonian states that official infor-
mation lias. been received at the Departinent

A M'1tsczr.m at Narui:oo.——'l‘he organ of

words ‘to the Saints of all nations,’ respect-
ing a Museum of curio.-ities which the

ration is as follows:—-‘According to-a Rave

Tnm‘ Cntracrr or Sco'ri.ANn.—The follow-
ing paragraplis repecting the separation of the
Church of Scotland from the State, are extract-
ed from the London Correspondence of the N.
Y. Journal of Commerce. VVe have given
them a place in our columns as a part of the
Ecclesiastical history of the day, in which our
readers no doubt, in common with a great por-
tion ofthe Chirsiian world, feel a deep interest.
It is evident front this and otiier proceedings.
in several important ecclesiastical establish-
meufs. that things are ripening for some impor-
tant change. What that change may be, it is
impossible very clearly to foresee. One very
probable result, we think, may be to test the
q.-iesiion.wlieilier the spirituality and purity
of the Church ofClirist, are to give place in
the cold foririality and external obedience which
owe their paternity to a splendid national
establisliment.—whether the Church is to re-
main :be“great rcligio-political thing that it
now is—'i-"a colossus with one of its poziderous feel
upon this world and the other in the next,” or
whether the cliiireli shall be freed and forever
divorced from its incestuous connection with the
State. and left to work the salvation of men in
the true spirit and humble simplicity of the
gospel. In this view of the case, we can-
not but hail the events which are occurring
both here and in Europe, as the harbingers of a
brighter days for the Church.
Tire extracts are as follows:
The crisis of Established Presbyterianism
in Scotland, has some at last. The spirit
has gone out of tlie,body—-yet both remain,
spirit and body distinct. The separation took
place on the l8th.of May. On that memor-
able day the General Assembly met in the
usuzil style, amid the flourish of trumpetsand
beat of drum, attended by all the p;ige:intry
of Vice-Royalty. The Moderator of the for-
.'Ilt:‘l‘ Assemiblyitouk the chair, and Her Maj-
estv’s Commissioner sat behind, on an eleva-
ted. throne, attended by his pages. The
Church (St. Andrews, an interim Assembly
Hall. whilst the new Hall is building.) was
crowded with clergy and liiity; and breath-
less i)l')Xlt;‘l.\,' awaited the comuiencement of
the proceedings. The Assembly itself was
more nuirierous than usual, the numbers
try of the presbyteries, and every member was
present wlioin dire necessity did not prevent.
As soon as the iiniriense miiltitude had taken
their respective positions, before the foi'rn:il
constitution of the Assembly, the moderator‘
rose and addressed the House. He said
there had been an infriiigernent on the con-
stitution ofthe. Church, on lt'll‘Oil(l so great
that they could not constitute its General As-
sembly without a violation of the-union be-
tween Church and Stat-, as now aiithoritivr,--
ly defined and declared. He was, therefore.
compelled to protest agiinst further proceed-
ings. and unfolding a document which he
Ilieldbp in his hand, he. read in a clears: em-
tllllzlflc manna"-r-——"l‘he Protest ofthe church.’
,_This izriportarit historical paper contained
{the rc.rsons for separ.-ition. VVben the Motl-
erator ii.-id finished the i"eadin_r_.'_r of the pro-
test, he laid it doun on the table of the As

.'Il'l‘.l calmly \V:1il{(’ll gut. He was followed
imois~diatel_y by the distinguished Doctors
Chalmers and Gordon, and all the Non-ln-
trusionists of the Assembl_y,amotiriting in all.
to one. hundred and ninety three members,
nearly one half ofthe whole number. It
was a solemn sight, and though some ‘ap-
plaud:--d, many melted into ten rs, as they saw
the most reverend,the most eloquent, the
rnost learned, the most talented and popular
of the clei‘g_v of Scotland, abjiiring upon prin-
ciple. their relationship with the church, and
voluntarily resigning the rights, privileges,
and ernoluments--the ease. luxuries, and
comforts connected with their position in the
church Estsiblislimeot, rather than confess,
what their covanentirig fathers never would
acknowledge, the supremacy ofthe the civil
over the spiritual po i er.
The church ofScotland was thus fairly
divided in two.’ The moderator with
with his cap and gown, the insigna of office,

commissioner‘. tho Mai'qiiis of Biite, with
his mace of office, and no voice nor vote in
the Assembly. at the head ofthe other, rep-
resent the the ch iracteristic distictions of the
two bodies, whilst the Lord Provost of the
city of Edinburgh who accompanied the Sir-
ceders. and walked in procession along with
them, is a fit represeiit:ition of the popular
influence whirrli accompanies those who have
abandoned the State connection.
The resiriluary Assembly, being without a
head. elected a chairman, ml inleriin, (Dr.
Holrlam-,) and aft--rwards appoiriteal Profess-
or McF‘rirl:ine, of Glasgow college, Modera-
tor. The Free Assembly having the old
.\'lorler;itor, was constituted irniriediately, and
Dr. Chalmers was elected as the new Mod-
Elifllnr.
The people of Scotland have, within
three months. subscribed the enormous sum
of £223,000 sterling, to forward the cause of

licly in favor ofthe Repeal agitation. Still
more, that he should stand forth as a speak-

Tyler would desire his son,or sons, to as-
sume such an attitude towards the British
«government; nay, that he would not regret
to have them do so. The part taken by
Robert Tyler on a previous occasion in one

the act, after the public expression of that
dissatisfiiction, cannot fail to be deemed in-
consistent with the friendly relations existing
between the two governments, unless his be-
ing Private Secretary to his father may be
called such, but he is a son of the Presili-nt,
and this gives a degree of consequence to
his proceedings, to which they would not
otherwise be entitled.
