State of Religion in Lexington—Sociely—Underwork- ing—Currency—The Roses— Classes. Ma, James G. Bennett :— Some weeks ago a letter appeared in the Herald, under the signature of Hector, which threw our city into great commotions, notwithstanding it was evi- dently written by a man of very little mind. Presu- ming from his long silence that he has returned to his home in the west, I shall, if agreeable to you, endeav- or to fill his place in a more satisfactory manner, by confining myself exclusively to such matters as can- not fail to prove entertaining, as well as edifying, to the numerous readers of the Herald in Lexington. Though the motives which have governed H. in iving publicity to matters of so much delicacy, may Fare been as pure as these by which Dr. Squirt was actuated, when under peculiar circumstances, he sang those beautilul lines : “Come rest in this boscm, my own stricken dear ” Yet itis much to be regretted that Mr.H. has indulged so freely in personalities, the result having proved quite injurieus to the peace of society. One of our citizens, noted for his Philanthropy and expansive benevolence, which appears to have taken within its grasp the whole of Paleree county, in connexion with a large portion of the republic of of Texas: is said to be suflering the horrors of hy- drophobia ; incessantly bellowing forth “ Quousque tandem Hector abutere patientia nostra,” the resultof H.’sindiscretion. | But this issomewhat foreign to my purpose, which is to co-operate with the President, Professors and Ttrustees of Morrison College, in their efforts to cultivate in Lexington a taste for literature, fox huating and chess playing ; to overthrow Fopery, Prelacy, Methodism, Camp- bellism and new school Presbyterianism heresies, which have found their way inte society and almost annihilated an institution which, since rigin, is supposed to have cost the sum of half a on. t will be necessary in the first place to notice the condition of the churches and state of society in Lex- ington. A large portion of my life having been spent in foreiga travel, my knowledge of society is neces sarily very limited, which must prove my apology for errors which may be found in this my prolego-~ mena, to matters of so much importance. i The revival of religion alluded to by H. in the first Presbyterian church, has greatly declined. The pastor having, by hislabore, laid up treasures in the other world sufficient to enable him to pay his fare across the river Styx, is reported to have retired to the country for the purpose of ing provision for the flesh, trading in blocded cattle and Berkshire hogs ; operations which{he understands better than preaching or financiering. The Campbellite church appears te have fallen into a state of spiritual despot- ism. Some time ago the cry for water by them was so great during the Sabbath, as to induce the belief that one half of the city was in flames: since the setting in of the frost, however, their zeal for the water has greatly cooled. Some of them are so chasitable now as to express their belief, that Poedo Baptists dying during the winter, professing stron, faith in A. Campbell, may reach the kingdom Heaven, as well as other sects. A most damnable heresy, which no doubt will disappear with the breaking up of the ice. | The Episcopalians at present are in a most de rable condition: one corner of their church has en way, and is likely ere long to lay as low as its quondam Bishop, thus deterring the good people from meeting as usual. It is true, they are a very spirited minded people, but are naturally very reluc- tant to run the risk of taking a leap in the land of spirits so expeditiously : at present they crow and talk much about the propriety of erecting a new building, and calling a new Priest, but reappear ais they are destitute of the funds required for the build- ing of the one, or maintaining the other, the most presinens men being much embarrassed by specu- jation. Itis rumored, however, that a few benevo- lent individuals are determined to raise the money by the establishment of a lottery office, an institu- tion which, thonght the Legislature will charter upon application. 2 i 3 The second Presbyterian church is getting along quite smoothly, pen oe he pastor is much affected with bronchitas. The Methodist and Bap- tist churches are exerting a more salutary influence than all others combined, save that under the pasto- ral care of D.C. W. Cloud. This very worthy man wa; at one lime a member of good standing in the Methodist church, but in consequence of holding heretical omalons was excommunicated, when his brethrea of the Masonic fraternity, wtsash sympa- thy, united in erecting a house for his exclusive bee nefit, in which he has been preaching fer many years, to a large audience of Universalists. It is difficult at present to say whether his love for preaching the gospel or participating in hot coffee, predominates. With regard to society, I would remark that the right of promogeniture appears to have been an established law of the land since the earliest settle- ment of Kentucky. Consequently society is laid off into so many different classes that it is difficult to i rect delineation of it. Class one, entitled , embraccs all those persons whose income is supposed to exceed the sum of $2,150, regardless of character or the means by which he has secured his estate: as this sum is the dividing line between the first and second class, it is often a subject of much discussion, which terminates in uarrels which can only be settled by appeals to the Siar Chamber, composed of the following di guished personages: the accomplished Mrs. Mc: the beautiful Misses L. D.and K., the lovely Miss W. and exquisite Mrs. S. Many families emi raced in this class are of gentle blood—for instance, the Duke of Town Fork, the tenacity of whose memory, aided by an insatiable curiosity, will enable him to trace the pedigree of almost every individaal of dis- tinction in Kentucky. He is decidedly one of our most opulent citizens. His landed estate will vie with that of a nobleman of Russia. The number of hie serfs exceeds two hundred, and istapidly in- creasing, well as improving in color. Notwith- standing his great wealth he is still getting more, and is said to have recently revived an old claim on-one half of the city of Lex, which he occas ‘onelly surveys, fearful that his claims may be barred by the statute of limitation: this is likely to prove one of the most hazardous acts of his life. “Facilisdescensus Averni, Sed gradum revocare hoc opus, hic labor est!” Another instance—the Oily Gammor, president of our most prominent shaving shop ; the former a gentleman in every sense of the word, the latter equally so, with the advantage of a tongue so well greased, smooth, sweet, and persuasive, that honey in its purity may be distilled from almost every word he uttere, especially so when passing off eight"dimes te the dollar, or negotiating for the purchase of a bill of exchange, by which som r fellow may be shaved to the quick. Oily Gammon has injured himself much by his supposed connexion with a firm of grocers and brokers on Main street, nearly opposite adry goods house: the most profitable part of the business of the firm, consists in the im- portation of dimes, with which they are flooding the country, passing them off at the rate of eight to the dollar. As they are becoming too sharp for each other, it is rumored that they are about to dissolve ig oe alge J ‘ ince the eupension ecie payments by our banks, nearly ‘all of our nobilit have turned Private brokers, the consciences of whom a short time ai would not suffer them to receive over 6 per cent their money ; but have now got up to 10, 15 and 20, and sometimes demanding the ‘specie at that.

A serious accident occurred on the Mohawk and Hudson Railroad, by which two men lost their lives, The locomotive ran off the track, killing the engineer and one of the firemen. Gmron Hawtey was to-day elected a Regent of the University. Mr. Hawley is a taleated man, one of the editors of the Northern Light, and was formerly superintendent of Common Schools, and for many years Secretary of the Board of Regents. A better selection could not be made. In the Senate to-day, Mr. Dixow reported in favor of the amendment of the charter of the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen in the city of New York; which was ordered to a third reading on motion of Mr. Faanxtix. Mr. Foste® reported a bill to incorporate the Mu- tual Life Insurance Company in the city of New York. Mr. Rance offered a motion to the effect, that the Comptroller report to the Senate the amount of fees received from clerks and registers in Chancery, and clerks of the Supreme Court, for the last 18 moaths. Mr. Rhoades stated that a message was sent to the Senate from the Governor on, the 26:h ult., whieh by a vote of that body was ordered to be re- turned to him. He wished to enquire what had been done in obedience to that order of the Seaate? The Presideat replied, that there was a report in the handwriting of the late Clesk, in the possession of the Chair, which was as follows :— “In Serate—Jan. 27, 1812 — To the Senate: The Clerk has the honor to inform the Senate, that in obedience to the resolution ef the Senate, passed last Wednesday, he waited upon his Exceilency the Go- vernor, nad showed him a eopy thereof, and tender- ed to him the message therein referred to, where- upon the ‘overnor was pleased to say it was a paper which seemed to him to belong to the Senate, and he was not aware that he had any right to the custody thereof, and that he therefore declined to receive it. “San’t G. Ayprews, Clerk.” _ Mr. Rhoades then offered a preamble and resolu- tion, reciting the seeond message of tae Governor, and concluding as tolews:— “ Resolved, That for the purpose of preservation, and for the convenience of reference, the same be printed and bound with the Senate documents of the present session.”* : Mr. Fosrer raised a point of order that this reso- lution could not be received, as it wasin direct vio- lation of a former decision of the Senate. The Senate had already decided that this message should not go upon the Journal, and it wastherefore out of oxder to attempt to accomplish indirectly what the Senate had by a direct vote refused to do. The Prestpenr decided the motion to be in order. Mr. Foster appealed, and after eome debate the appeal was sugpended, the hour of twelve having arrived ; and that being the time at which the Court of Errors were to convene. In the Court, after the appointment of Isaac R. Elwood, clerk of the Senate, as clerk of the Court, it took a recess until one o’clock, in order to enable the Senate to go into e! n fora Regent. After Se the debate on Mr. Fosters appeal was re- sumed, At one o’clock the Court went into session again. A motion was je to hear arguments on certain special causes, referring to the New York assess- ments, during the session of the Legislature, and the Court adjourned to 120’clock to-morrow. In Senate the debate was again resumed, and continued to great length. The question was then taken, the appeal si ined, and the resolution ruled out of order. ‘ ; ‘The bill to enable the general sosiety of mechanics and tradesmen in the city of New York, to extend the benefitsjof their school and library, was read a third time and and the Senate adjourned 4 In Assembly, Mr. D.R. F. Jones reported a bill to require the county of Otsego to reimburse te the county of Montgomery the expenses of the trial of J. Fenimore Cooper vs. James Watron Webb. He stated that the precedents in the statute books left the committee no other alternative butto report in~ favor of the petition. Mi. Cramer reported a general efectisn law.— The report insists on the necessity of holding the election on one day, and urges that, in addition to the vast saving of time and expense, it will mate- rially aid the cause of temperance. Mr. Seymour introduced a bill in relation“to coats and fees in Courts of Record. It provides for a new and enlarged tariff of fees. Mr. Horrman submitted a concurrent resolution, which under the rule lies over one day, requiring the Comptroller and Canal Commissioners to report without Ce 4 ' Mr. Dix offered a resolution, which was adopted, enquiring into the propriety of” the present ex- emption of the Regents of the University residin; in the city of New York from attendance at one o! the sessions of the Regents. The special order of the day, which was Mr. Davezac’s resolution in relation to General Jackson. Mr. Davezac supported them in his own peculiar and earnest manner, and among other things denied the truth of the story that there had been any reli- ance placed on cotton bags for the defence of New Orleans. Mr. O’Suxtivay read a letter from Gen. Jackson to Major Davezac. The General says that the in- justice of the fine has never apt gee to the tention of Congres, the record of which remains an imputation to his memory—the only one that Congress, has not expunged from its records. Mr. O'Sullivan strongly advocated the resolutions, and had no doubt but that Congress would immediately take the action desired, the moment it was brought to their notice. He thought no man with an Ame- rican heart would vote aguinst it. ‘ Mr. Horrmax thought that the debt of gratitude to General Jackeon had been fully paid. “I lay claim toan American heart,” said Mr. H., ind yet I shall vote against it.” It not for us to review the decisions of the American le, and they had adjudged that Gen. Jackson’s services had been edequately requitedand rewarded. Mr.H. expressed himself strongly against the reading of the private leiter of the General’s by Mr. ¢ He considered it as tearing open the sanctuaries of friendsnip. Mr. H. spoke at length againet the resolution. Mr. Sim- mons foliowed on the same side. Mr. Davezac reviewed, at great length, the ob- jeetions made by Mr. Hoffman. He urged the ex- umples of Montgomery and others in the Revolu- tion, to support his position that it was not too late to do this act of justice to Generel Jackson. The debate was continued at length, and a motion was made to lay the resolution on the table, which was negatived. ‘The question then recurred on the final of the resolution, and it was adopted, 63 to 24. It was cent te the Senate for concurrence. Cave Unciscan.

Sin— As you have been of great service to this com- munity in redressing abuses, and righting of wrongs, I wish to call your attention to some rules, which bd@ve lately been established by the Judges of the United States Court, in relation to the Bankrupt Law, in order to see if a remedy can- not be devised for the evil. Lam one of the victims of the commercial revul- sion whieh has lately swept over this country. I have heretofore given wp all my property to my creditors, but istillowe debts which J] am wnable to pay, and my hepes have been naturally turned to the Baukrupt Law as my only reiuge ; and omread- ing thie law J had supposed that I should have been able to get my certificates of dissharge with- out any serious expense. I pews that twenty five dollars would have paid all ; but on making application to alawyer on the subject, 3 fnd that e Court has adopted such rules as will swell the to at least ¢! The ¢ that the twenty day notice shall be published ‘im “‘one or more newspape: The rule adopted by the Court says “it shall be insert- t three of the folowing papers.” The that the seventy day notice shall in some public newspaper designated said Court 3” whereas the rule requires that it shall be pablished daily “ in at least three newspa- pers.” These oppressive rules, requ i Saree. times the number of papers required by the ac', swell theexpense of advertising to the frightful sum of $34 50 in cach » and in some cases it will be much more. This great amount of adverti- sing is entirely unnecessary, as the creditor in js to have a written notice personally ke prin I will give you asa spe en, to wit: “Kor settling every ot or dee per folio of a these orders ai de An mind in the oj titioner is req e an inveutory of and to surrender to the assignee, “all [raat og beeebtl rok mg jit of every name, kind desomption,” under oath, &e. After this is done, he has a vight to petition to be discharged ; but by th les no further step can be taken until he has paid the clerk $26 @ for the insertion of the second adver- tisement, besides other fees for the clerk. Where is the poor debtor to. get this sum, after having giving up every cent of which he was pose hy It appears to me that the deoree of re ape which strips him of every vestage of property, e fectuall ies hima from i ing any further to get his discharge. This law appears to nullify itself, Does not the epirit of the law requi a rule should be adopted by the court that all ex- penses, subsequent to the decree of bankruptcy, should be paid by the assignee out of the assets of the bankrupt ? The operutions of this law are most mysterious. I hope that you will throw some light on the subject. A Banxnvrrt. Exoquence or tue New Yorx Ban.—The profes- sors of modern eloquence in the courts of the wes- tern Statee, and backwoods generally, and in Ar- kansas in particular, where a “‘ learned blacksmith” invited the Judge and Jury to “go out and¥iquor,” are all thrown into the shade by the crowning glory of a brilliant Juminary on hand any day in the Com- mon Pleas of this city. Though the shortest man in the profession, yet he utters the tallest of all imaginable seatences. Her: are rare samples ofhis thunder and lightning, discharged in the progress of a single cause :— “Gentlemen of the Jury, we ask for Justice, for no more than justice ; and we ask that itmay be weighed out by the ample hammer of the law.” They essail the character of my client; itis be- yond the poisoned and venomed steeped arrows ef the Counsel ; but, gent ofthe jury, in spite of their rve! efforts, the 3 le stream of justice shall still low onward as wide uman sympathy, and as deep ie is a religious man, and of trouble by lawyers. His quiet spirit takes ite ight, and deranges their thoughts ; and this is damoges sustained by my client.” “am as easy as a dolphin resting om the chrystial and unruffied bosom of Heaven, and basking in the sun- light of eternity—because I am sure the jury are with me.” There ! Let the corncrackere, wolverines, buck- eyes, coonskins, suckers, and other orators of the north, south and west, put the above glorious and poetical essays into their pipes and smoke that same. Let them hide their diminished heads, and never look the New York bar in the face again. Shut up, ye everlasting slangwhangers of all creation, and let Judge Ingraham, who presided on this memorable occasion, go home to dinner ; and then let the jury go out to be coopered. Will you have a pickle? More avovr tHe Weatnea.—This winter is now without a precedent. We never knew, nor heard of such before. That of 1817 was mildto the 24th of January only. This has extended ten days long- er. We give further extracts to-day relative to buds and blossoms : (From Philadelphia Inquirer, Feb. | A gentleman brought us some branches of lilac from Laurel Hill yesterday, with large buds upon them, ap- parently about to burst into blossom. (From Peori, Ilinoie Register, Jan. 21,) The changeable weather has pro ed very severe on the wheat now in the ground. Farmers tell us that some fi ebeen entirely destroyed. As the like weather has prevailed throughout the middle and the rn states, it is feared th the next wheat crop will be ashort one. In the northern part of this State, and in Wiskonsin, it has been protected by the snow ; but wherever this covering has not sheltered it, the dainage must have been very serious. Cnaraam Tueatrs.—This house continues to be eminently successful. That sterling attraction the Mechanic and the Queen, draws passing well. Kirby’s Gilbert, the mechanic, brings down rounds of applause, that are ashearty as deserved. In ad- dition, the never-tiring’Ethiopeans,with the Adopted Child, and the 3: Cottage, wiil make up the bill for this evening. When Thorne took hold of this house two years since, it was amidst a general re- n in theatricals ; but nothing daunted, he re- ized his company, reduced his prices, and with a tact and untiring industry that defied fate, has fully established himself in the popular favor. % Dama Arremer at Ronsery ano Morven. — Captain Nichols, of the Wifham and Eliza, arrived on Saturday last from Philadelphia, informs us that an attempt was made to drowa him by twe of his crew, assisted by two men from the shore, while lying in Little Bay, near the mouth of the Rappa- hannock, where he had put in fora harbor, on the night of the 17th inst. After coming to anchor he ‘went ashore, a short distance from his vessel, and on his return on board was met by two strangers, who struck hima blow which knocked him overboard, and he would have drowned but for the timely as- sistance of Captain ———, who fortunately came to his assistance. The object of the crew, with their associates from the shore, was, no doubt, to murder the captain and then rob the vessel, avit was thought that there was some specie on board for one of the banks in this place. — Norfolk Herald, Jan. 31. Weereas River Intetutoencer—The Ohio has begun to fall again at this point. It is in fine navi- gable order, with between 9 and 10 feet water in the channel. The weather warm, clear and summer- like.

The little broker ’s very small, And might unheeded i For none would notice If it were net for a lass, Who, though she sings so sweetly, ‘That she with rapture Lis Other soit uearts completely, Will go about with pills. And soft heads too incline to bow Before the lady fair; A frown upon another’s brow Is envy, they declare. But if this hint they do not take, By the trath it here reveals, The little broker’s back may ache, Unless he use his heels. Coming from Courtlandt street I see ‘A storm; who can abide it 7 The Broker's head may broken be, If he do not run and hide it.
