MONROE, July 29, 1844.
Mr. Editor :—Having with a number of
friends last evening, witnessed an extraordinary
Meteoric Phenomenon. I have been induced to
forward an account of it for publication, itt the
hope that some of your astronomical corres-
pondents may be induced to give an elucidation
to the public of the causes that would be likely
to produce such a result.
The evening was one of unusual bcaut_v.—
Not a cloud was visible, and the pelut.-id light
of the full tnoon gave a magic beauty to the
scenery arottnd us. At about 10 o’clock. our
attention was called by one of our ttutrtber to a
charming view of an eminence to the east ofus
on which we could distinctly trace the Outlines
of a "House of Worship,” although several
tniles distant. VVhile viewing this scene, a
meteor
“\Vith sweeping glory and brillianttrail cflight,”
shot up front the eastern ritn of the horizon, to
the height of about two degrees, and tlten as-
sumed an apparent fixed position in the heav-
ens. After taking its position, it presented
something the appearance ofa star, thottgh not
perfectly defined, and rtflected numerous rays
of fiery red light. After a few moments it
moved gradually to thcsouth, and in the course
of fiftcett tninutcs had probably made one degree
in that course, when suddenly it began to fade.
and ere another minute ltad passed, it had en-
tirely disappeared.leaving us lost in wottder and
admiration. G- C-
Our acknowledgments are due to the Hon.
J. \V. Huntit‘.-glon, for a copy of the Report of
the Comtnissioner of PaIenIs—£t tlocutmeltt of
much value.
l\lottst«:'s Scnuor. Gt-:ot;tt.tr=nv.—A copy of
ti new Geography for Schools, by this well
known and popular author, has been sent us.-—
The work is a quarto of 72 closely printed
pages, illustrated wtth more than 50 geographi-
cal maps and numerous wood engravings. It
is well calculatedto receive, what it appears to
merit, the approbation of teachers and parents.
The plan of the work, does away with the in-
convenience and expense of two books, and is
afforded at the low price ol'50 cents. It it is to
be found at Weed’s book store.
\Vasltington Engine Company, No. 2, of
Bridgeport, were to visit VVashington Engine
Company No. 7, of New Haven, on Monday

To OUR iT“I‘.ll-Zt\'DS.—AS an inducement to
our friends to push on the vehicles of correct in-
formation in preparation for the approaching
struggle, we will supply the Gazette to clubs of
eihgt or more, to one direction, for the next three
months, for the trifling sum of‘? cents a copy,
payment being made in advance for the whole
nutnber at once. Send in early.
As Silas Wright had too muclrsagacity to
allow himself to be run for President or Vice
President, the locos of New York are desirous
of putting hitn up for Governor. but he won’t
stand that either. He “looks quite through” the
signs ofthe times.
Nothing of late has caused the locofocos so
much real perplexity and uneasiness as t/refact
that James K. Polk ’s grandfather wasa tory.——-
When they commenced talking so loudly of
the patriotism of Polk"s ancestor, they lit.tle
thought they were exposing him to the indigna-
tion which the name ofa tory excites in every
truly American bosotn; but as they commenced
the game they cannotjustly complain ifit recoils
upon thetn, with effect. They have endeavored
to evade the dreaded issue, and have employed
every artifice to convince the honest and fair-
minded descendants of those who served their
country, and to whom James K. Polk’s grand-
father was traitor and tory, that he was not a
tory, but the old revolutionary patriots remem-
bertoo well the time when he took protection
under the British flag, as they ltave abundantly
ttestified. Although they would not visit Polk
for theeniquities of his father, yet they rem em-
ber too well the time when in the legislative
,halls ofthe country this same James K. Polk,
son ofEzekiel Polk, the well known tory ofthe
Revolution, exhibited that same tory like spirit
which so characterized his ancestor, in voting
against the bill to provide for the wants of the
Revolutionary pensioners. -This the locofocos
/have had the hardihood to deny-—but it stands
recorded upon the Journal ofthe proceedings of
the body to which he belonged. This is proof
evident, conclusive and not l0 be misunderstood
But notwithstanding all this abundance of evi-
dence thrust into their very teeth, they have
attempted by artifice and deception to prove it
false. They have said that the name of Polk's
father was not Ezekiel. No one ever pretend-
ed to say it was, but that it was his grandfather
who was a base and cowardly tory in ‘the days
that tried men's sottls.’—He7'al(l.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT.-—The receipts into the
Treasury for the quarter ending the 30th June last,
from all sources, were $8,471,000 00. The pay
ments made during the same period, were $5,876.-

HAXKD“ TO an SUr'rt-:n.——i'1‘he ' Journal of
Commcrce.Register,and other free tradejonrnals
are now grumbling about the Tariff‘, because, as
they say, it is producing more revenue than is
required. The Journal of Commerce says
"Money has accumulated here beyond all
precedent. A dis organzing Tariff has‘ pro-
duced for the mo ment a monstrous excess of
revenue." It seems very hard indeed to suit
the locos. When the tariff was first passetl, the
free trade cry was that it would ruin commerce
and afford but little revenue, not ‘half enough
forthe support of the governmettt. But now
that the Treasury is overflowing, the tariff is
abused for that. The free trade men can no
more be suited than the intoxicated man who
reasoned thtts with himself as he staggered
home at miduight—“lfnty wife has gone to bed
I'll lick her. \Vhat business has she to go to
bed before I get home-—perhaps she's sitting up.
Well——if she is I'll lick her.. \Vhat business
ltas she to be sitting up antl burning wood and
candles to this time of night.”
So the tariff ottght to be repealed because it
will ruin the cottntry and beggar the treasury-—
but when it is found that it promotes the pros-
perity of the cottntry and more than fills the
national treasury_ tlten it is objected to as a
“disorgttnizing tariff.” The free, trade men
will never be suited. \Ve wish they would go
to Texas.—Pallurlz'u-m.
Tlte following paragraph, we copy for the
reason that it may have some reference to the
child lately found in our harbor. The age
which is given in some of the papers, corres-
ponds with that, though our impression lead us
to suppose that the transaction for which the
woman was arrested. was of more recent oc-
currence, than that to which we suppo ed it
might be connected. The date, however, is not
given.
An Unnatural Jllotlter-—A young Irish

T/Le ll"a_t/ T/icy Vl"02'/3: Il.-—A friend of

A Tolerable Jake for (L L0cof0c0.—'A lo-

fromthe charges brought against hittt by
the \Vhigs, assigns as a reason for his con-
stant votes against the bills granting pen-
sions to the old Revolutinary soldiers, that
he never considered the provisions made by
those bills as adequate. '
The foregoing, which we cut from an
eastern paper. reminvls us of a siory that Wt’
used to hear in New England, itt which a
very similar kind of logic was etnployt-d.—-
A \\'e.tltl'ty member of the Episcopal church
in :———, was applied to, to subscribe a
sum for the support of the minister. He per-
emptorily rt-fused. ‘I ant perfectly willing.’
said he, ‘to contribute my full share in provi-
ding a living for our clergyman, but 1 will
have no hand in starving /rim. to (Zeal/L .’ —
The salary he COllSl(1t'l'€Cl too small, and
tltercfore was too generous to contribute any
thing to lhCS1tlf\7Elll0l1 fund. Mr. Polk voted
against giving any t/Lirtg to the poor rrvolu-
tionnry soldiers upon the principle that noth-
ing at all is better than a little.

Anecdote of Henr1/ Clay.--— Mr. E S.
Cornelius. of Piscatatvay, N. J. who has
hitherto voted with the loco Focus but has
concluded to go the other way this time, was
yesterday in our office and casually stated to
us some of the reasons for his change,wl')lcl1
seem to us worthy of record; so we jot them
dott n :
He said he had been first induced to dis-
card his old political associates from disgust
at:their atrocious yet often paltry personal
attacks on Mr. Clay. He remarked that he
had lived some years in Louisville Ky. and
had often seen Mr. Clay there, and he knew
that both parties held him in the highest re-
spect, not only as a grest. Statesman but as a
man of exalted personal worth. An incident
recalled to his mind was as follows:
VVhile he lived in Louisville, in l836 or
'7, the Ohio being very high, a flat-boat
loaded with coal broke loose frotn its moor-
ings above and was precipitated over the falls
The men on board saved their lives and that
was all. A crowd was attracted to the
wharf and among them was Henry Clay,
then stopping at the G-alt House. He in-
stantly asked, ‘Have you not lost everything
Will you not need aid?’ They answered
they were nearly destitute, having but a few
dollars in their pockets and being far from
friends. ‘Well,’ said Mr. Clay. ‘Here is $20
to begin with: others will doubtless contrib-
ute.’ They did so; as much as the sufferers
would take was raised on the spot, and they
went their way with lighter hearts.
New York Tribune.
Samuel H. I-Iamrnond, Esq. a dist.inguish-
ed lawyer of Albany, formerly olBath, who
was for Van Buren in ’40, andthe Abolition
candidate for State Senator in that district in
l84l, is now doing good service in the
Whig cause. He. thinks the presenta crisis
when all who are opposed to Annexation
should vote for Henry Clay.
Continued Distress on the Out Islands.
——We are pained at heart, that the necessity
exists for other efforts than those which have
been already resorted to for the reliefofthose
of ottr fellow colonists who reside upon the
Out Islands, who have been sufiering from
starvation. This distressing factiis forcibly
brought before us in the address of the com.
mittee of Relief. It is well, that as this dis-
tress does exist,is known tothe committee and
the public.-—N_assau N. P. Gag. July 13.
The advices by the Caledonia are unfavor-
able for our produce growers—Colton,Grain
Ashes. etc. but the financial aspect of aflairs
abroad is about the saute as received by the
previous steamers. Mont-.y was still abund-
ant, and trade exhibited a prosperous activi-
ty. In American Stocks there was not tnuch
doing. Prices were about the same, and the
actual payment of a dividend by Pennsylva-
nia, would no doubt produce a larger de-
mand and tend“much toward reestttblishing
confidencein ourisecuritir-s. The arrange-
ment of the Illinois matter must also have a
good effect. The arrangement has been
definitely concluded.
New Post Oflice.—-We learn that the ne-
gotiations whtch have been pending between
the Post Ma.-let‘ General and the Mi idle
Duch Church, Nttssatt street, have probably
been closed, and that the post office will soon
be t-stablisht (I there.
There was a t"ill't-rence between the par-
ties of about $5000, which broke ofi the ne-
gotiation, but Mr. Goodhue and ninetct n oth'
er eminent merchants subscribed $300 each,
to cover the amount in dispute and se-
cure the desired result \Vhttht=r the Gov
t-rntttcnt will accept this all is doul'ttful.——
The Exchange Post Office will be discontin-
ued, and the Park building will be a distribu-
ting branch ofthe Nassau office. The mer-
chants downtown will get rid ofthe two cents
extra charge on their letters by this arroga-
tnent.— Tme Sun.

Rev. Edwin 1-lall, Rev. H. Hosted, and other
patrons of the school, Norwalk.
Mr. Coffirienjoys a high reputation as a thor-
ough and efficient instructor, and from our
acquaintance with ltim since he took charge of
this Academy, we feel that it. is justly tnerited.
Professor Olmstead of New Haven, in speaking
of his merits as a teacher, says: “I should
esteem it highly auspicious to the cause of edu-
cation,ifall our High Schools were under similar
direction." He is ltigltly recomtncnded by
various members of the faculty of'Amherst and
Williams Colleges; ofthe former of which he is
a graduate, and’was for several years a metnber
ofthe faculty ofthe latter. Thefollowiog is from
Rev. Joseph Alden. D. D. Professor of Rhetoric
and Political Economy in \Villiams College.
“James .H. Cofiin has had many years of
successful experience in teaching the Latin,
Greek and French Languages, and the Mathe-
matics. For the last three years he has been a
very valuable ofiicer in this College.’ His at-
tainments in science are very rate. ‘There are
few Professors in our Colleges equal to him in
Mathematics and Astronomy. His perfect up-
rightness of character. His kind temper, his
untiriog fidelity, and indefatigable industry and
nerseverence render him peculiarly qualified to
iake cqarge ofa literary institution, wltile his
reputation with scientific men would confer
honor upon it. He ltas talents for the details of
instruction and government, and fororiginal in-
vestigation in science. It is seldom that an
Academy has an opportunity of securing the
services ofa man of his talents, character and
scientific acquirements."
Testimonials ofa similar import are furnished
by the President attd other Professors; also by
Professor Emmons, State Geologist. Albany,
N. York; Professor C. S. Henry, New York
University ; Professor J. Henry. Princeton Col-
lege, N. J. and from numerous patrons at Green-
field, Mass. and Ogdensburg, N. Y. where he
formerly had charge of academies. Gerard
Hallock, Esq. editor ofthe Journal ofCommerce
in New York city. After remarking that he is
intitnately acquainted with Mr. Coffin, says "he
is a first rate classical scholar and mathemati-
cian—-his character is excellent, and withal he
has an uncommon faculty of managing youth
without resorting to severity.’’
Under the care of an iustrttctor so able and
so eminent in his profession, the Trustees feel
confident that the.Academy will stand among
the first in New England. The building will
be improved and the accommodations enlarged
thecoming spring, and it is believed that the
Institution will be found in all respects worthr
of the patronage of those ‘who wish for their
children a thorough education.
