York, In the Herald of Sunday last, we made the enquiry, ‘‘ How snou.p rue SapnaTH BE KEPT ?”"— A triend ef ours, has favored us with the copy of a letter addressed by him to a minister of the Re-! formed Dutch Church of this city, who has recently been delivering a course of lectures on that impor- tant subject. We are free to confess, that the view our friend has taken of the subject is new to us, although to him the doctrine is as old as the creation; and as truth loses nothing by sifting, and as the letter is written in a right spirit, we think it proper to give it publicity Our friend observes, that the reverend gentleman has not thought proper to make any reply to it, but has intimated that our friend should have attended the succeeding lecture. Our friend’s answer is, that if the foundation which had been laid forthe sanctity of the first day, was based on wood, hay, straw, and stubble, the superstructure attempted to be raised, must of necessity be “like the baseless fabric of a vision,” and consequently unworthy of further attention. Dear Srr:— R r T attended the delivery of* your first evening lec- ture on the Sabbath, last first day, by the invitation of our friend Mr. P——, and with much satisfaction. 1 had then reason to hope that the candor you ex. esr and the disposition you manifested would nave disposed you to have carried out your investi- gation oa that all important subject, the Lord’s Sab- bath, with that scrupulous conscientiousnese the sub- ject demanded. In that discourse you clearly showed from the Scriptures that Jehovah, on finishing creation. work, sanctified the seventh day, and that it was of rpetual obligation, until abrogated by the same Lawgiver that enacted it. You then came to this conclusion, that unless you could show from the Scriptures that the seventh day, Sabbath, had been changed to the first, that all maaxind are bound to observe it ; and further, that it demanded as clear and evident a repeal of that law from the Scriptures as its enactment. I also attended your second lecture,and am obliged to say (in wh'ch many of your friendsconcur) that you have entirely failed in the attempt you made to substitute the firat for the seventh day. The hackneyed and round assertion made, that Christ rose from the dead on the first day made it obligatory for Christians to observe it, you have not substantiated, nor can you or aoy_ other mortal produce any scriptural evidence of it, or that he ever unsanctified the seventh day, or sanctified the first. That he was seen on the first day after his resurrection, every one knows, and that he went to Emmaus, which is from Jerusalem three score fur- longs, and returned again that same day, is evident; and it is also vey 4 evident that filteen les was more than a Sabbath day’s journey, and further con- clusive that there was no sanctification of that day by the Lord Jesus, and that the Spee had no re- ligious meeting on that day, nor did he meet them on_any other first day for public worship or service. The eight days after, you refer to, could not imply that day week. You quote the examples of the early christians for proof. They had no other authority than the Scrip tures, and the Apostle John informs us that even in his day many Antichrists were already in the world. You roundly asserted that the seventh day had been changed, but admitted that Christ had not changed it. You refer for proof to the 20th chap. of the Acts, verse 7th—“Upon the Ist day of the week, when the disciples met together to break bread.” Eld. Chadwick, in his pamphlet (you learn) has satisfac- torily answered this. Jtis worthy of notice that in every instance where the first day of the week is mentioned, day 18 sup- plementary In reference to the collection, (insisted on) we learn that this was a single instance of a collection to be made for the poor saints at Jerusa- lem, who were suffering from want, and never in- tended to be instituted and practised weekly, or as often as public wership was held, as the professed Chnistians of the present day unholily interpret, in order to make merchandise of the gospel. We have no proof that when the disciples met to- C= to break bread,* that it was to observe the vord’s supper, ard that itwas any other than a friendly meal, nor is it clearly shown whether the bread here was broken on the first or second day, or both. See verse 7—Il. The Apostle John being in the spirit on the Lord’s _- is no evidence that it was the first. ney usth Psalm (you quote) is not one iota in proof. You refer to 28th Matthew in proof that Christ rose on the first day. There the Evangelist states that in the end of the Sabbath he was risen. The anti-christian heresy+ that the Lord Jesus was crucified oa Friday, and the assumption that he rose on Sunday morning, was hatched at Rome. from whence Protestants derive no small share of their vee i Obeying the injunction of the divine precept, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon thy brother,” is my apology for the present intrusion. 1 subscribe myself, dear sir, one (to whose shame be 1+ spoken) who lived sixty-five years in the non-observance of the Lord’s Sabbath. Yours, faithfully and respectfully, New York, Dec. 23, 1842. “The Evangelist Luke, 20th chap. 34 verse, + that Jesus was known of the disciples by his breakin; bread. Now we know that this was not in observance of the Lord’s supper, for he thad said, when he instituted that or- dinance, that he would not observe it, still he partook of it in his Fatter’s kingdom. _ tHeretical it is, for when the Jews asked Ji sign of his Mes: ip,he replied, “A wicked an terous generation seeketh after a sign, and ther sign be given but the het Jonah. the prophet Jonah was three days ind three nigh! belly of the fish, so must the son of man be three three nights in the heart of the earth.” There is nothing too absurd for credulous man to receive. Had Jesus been crucified on Friday, he could not have risen till Monday afternoon, but it was not so. He was seenon Monday ; but the Scriptures are silent as to the day on which he was born, crucified, risen or ascended. In answer to the inquiry “How the Sabbath dey should be kept, we have it, mudium in parve,” Exodus, 20th chap. “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy werk, but the seventh day is the Sabbath ofthe Lord thy God. In it thou shalt not do any work, thou northy son. nor thy daughtor,thy man servant, nor id servant, nor thy cattle, nor the sti i thy gates, fur in six days the Lord made Heaven and the sea and ali that in them is, and restedthe seventh day, wherefore the Lord the Sabbath day and hallowed it.” Tuer Somers Casr.—In our report of the proceed- ings of the Naval Court Martial, will be found an in- teresting document submitted by the able Judge Advocate. His opinion respeeting the right of Spencer, Cromwell and Small, to have heard the proceedings before the council of officers, and so al- lowed an opportunity of confronting, and cross-ex- amining the witneswes,and detending themselves, is one which must commend itself toall. The paper is altogether very worthy of attentive perusal. Nuato’s Winter Concerts.—Mrs. Sutton, Signor de Begnis,and other talent, assisted by a full and efficient orchestra, being a selection of the first in- instrumental talent now in the city; many of them rank high in the musical world—such as Wieger, Appelles, Grouevelt, Jacoby, Lehman, Saner, Wiese, Hegelane, Knaebel, Wolter, and others, They will play the last music arrived from Paris and Ger- many, comprising quadrilles, waltzes, quartettes, quintettes and songs, of the most admired over- tures. These concerts will tar surpass the preceding ones. Ouxmric Cincus.—Mr. Welch means to astonish our citizens during the coming week. He has en- tirely changed the arrangements of the arena, and will introduce next week some new feats, embracing all that is beautitul, classic, refined and elegant in gymnastics, horsemanship, dexterity, &c. &c. The new pantomime of the “ Devouring Ogre,” con- tinues to receive undoubted marks of publie appro- bation, and will likewise be performed next week, with many improvements From Aubaty.—We thank Pomeroy & Co. for Albany papers of Friday. They contain no news of consequenee. Nothing done in the Legislature on Thursday. We are also indebted to them for papers of yesterday, in advance of the mail; they came through in twelve hours i ~The Reverend Dr. Krebs, of New York, will preach this morning in the Presbyterian Chureh,onthe corner. of Twelfth an Philadelphia Keicion Walnut street, ‘Tue Oxnsonsuir or Tux Paxss.—We believe it was King Solomon who said, “ great men are not always wise.” Mr. District Attorney Whiting is not an exception to the law thus pithily laid down by the wise ruler in Israel. In propounding the doc trine that the censorship of the newspaper press 18 limited to the conduct of public officials, and that political question: its only legitimate subjectsot discussion, Mr. Whiting did great discredit to that faculty of enlarged and liberal perception of the just and true of which we believe him to be possessed. What ! is the newspaper merely to hold up to men’s view the shifting scenes of political life, and must it not presume to intermeddle with the thousand to- pics connected with the daily business of the world, and which are pregnant with the most momentous interest to society, unless they be somehow con- nected with the petty warfare of the political arena? Absurd as is this idea, there are many who enter- tain it, even ia this day of superior enlightenment, though all of them have not, to be sure, so little ex- cuse as Mr. Whiting has for maintaining such a mis- taken notion. ‘We have ever maintained that the newspaper press ought to exercise an unlimited moral censor- ship insociety. There are hundreds of offences against the good order, and peace, and welfare of the community, which the arm of the law cannot punish. The best interests of society are liable to the assaults of many enemies, against whom the law cannot offer protection. What power canbe here more omnipotent than the law itself? The newspaper press. Just let any man of ordinary in- telligence seriously reflect on the consequences which would inevitably result, were the whole newspaper press in this country to be strictly re- strained to the “ discussion of political questions, and the conduct of public men.” Why, he must be stone blind who cannot see that if the press were thus muzzled, society would immediately be visited by wide-spread desolating evils, incalculably greater than the seven plagues of Egypt. ‘We were among the first in this country to extend the freedom of the newspaper press, and to employ, without fear or favor, the powers which rightly be- long to it, of exposing the prevalent vices and follies ofmen. Standing entirely aloof from all cliques and parties, and those occupying that high vantage giound which only an independent public journalist can attain, we have faithfully endeavored, despite of all opposition, to exhibit the world as it is,—politi- cal parties in their true colors, financiers in their own guise, and society itself in its genuine linea- ments. The prosecution to which we have been subjected, furnishes the most abundant proof that we have discharged our “ mission,” as Ralph Waldo Emerson would say, to some purpose. There can hardly be any one who requires to be told that he who sometimes tells unpleagant truths, does not take the readiest method of gaining universal approba- ton, Every friend of merality, of the elevation of hu- manity, of virtue and of truth, must desire to see the newspaper press emancipated from the shackles of political partizanship, and entering more generally and thoroughly iato the work of reforming society. Our Constitution has guaranteed to the press the fullest liberty to prosecute this great work Responsi- ble only for the truth, good motives and justifiable ends of its publications, the newspaper press is at lib- erty to search out and expose vice and folly, and crime, wherever they may be found,—whatever form they may assume, or under whatever aspect they may be effecting the ruin of society. They who would confine the press to the discussion mere- ly of politics and the conduct of public officials, sadly misinterpret the character and duties of the newspaper press, and are the greatest foes to its use- fulnessand freedom. They would have it a crawl- ing catterpillar—we would have it the golden butter- fly, that soars in absolute freeeom. Great Miniter Excirement in Paiuapeirnia.— The Philadelphia papers are full of Prophet Miller. Here is an account :— Tur Mirixnires.—Considerable excitement has pre- vailed at the Philadelphia Museum, during the last few days, as many of our readers know, in consequence of the large assemblages which have daily met there, for the purpose of listening to the predictions of Mr. Miller, in relation tothe burning of this terrestrial globe. Many, no doubt, were attracted by the oddity of the doctrine, but more, we believe, from motives of curiosity to see the individuel who declares that all things will shortly toaterminus. Each succeeding day the crowds have in- creased. On Thursday night last, there was a perfec jam, 80 much so that those inside, nearest the doors, closed them for the purpose of not being incommoded ‘by the pressure of the large numbers who were outside. The ‘outsiders were rather annoyed at this, and after making several ineffectual attempts to force the doors, raised an alarm thatthe building wason fire. The greatest con- sternation prevailed inside at this alarm, and a general rush was made for the street. At this time there could not have been less than 3000 persons in the building. The cries and screams of the women, and the shouting of the men and boys endeavoring to make their escape, were awful. Many fainted and were carried out in a danger ous state, other: lost a portion oftheir garments. A large number of boys who were seated by the windows, dashed through them into the street. Theroom was pretty well cleared before the alarm was discovered to be false. None that we heard of were badly hurt, although a large num- der received some very severe contusions. Yesterday morning there was a considerable distur- bane in the room, and the police were sent for. It appeared that George Munday was present, and proposed to ask some questions of Mr. Miller. When George got ae speak, some persons called to have him turned out, while as many were for having him remain. This raised a row, and George very prudently withdrew. One young man, who was anxious that George should remain and have. hearing, was arrested and taken tothe Mayor's office. The young man gave his own recognizance to appear and answer this morning, and was allowed to de- Pthe Stockholdersof the Museum, feerful thet the aie turbances of Thursday evening would be repeated again last night, refused to allow Mr. Miller the use of their room.

The following isa letter from Wm. Miller to Brother Himes“of this city, where he will’come soon :— Dean Buotwen Hines :— At the request of numerous friends, I herein transmit to them, through you, a brief statement of facts, relative to the many stories with which the public are humbugged, the pulpit, press,and bar room Jeclamations concernin, e pela! ples 1 advocate, and the management of = worldly concerns. My principles, in brief, are, that Jesus Christ will come again fothis earth, cleanse, purify, and teke of the same, with all his saints, sometime between March 21, 1843, and March 21, 1944 Thave never for the space of more than twenty-three years, had any other time preach- ed or published by me ; | have never fixed on any menth, day or hour between that time ; I have never found any stake in ee “P or miscalculation ; | have made no provision for any other time ; I ly satisfied that the Bible is true, and is the word of God, and } am confident I rely wholly on that blessed book for my faith in this matter. 1 am not a prophet—I am not sent to prophecy, but to read, believe and publish what God has inspired the ancient Prevhetsto administer unto us, in tbe prophecies of the Old and New Testaments. These have been, and now are my principles, and I hope I shall never be ashamed of them. ‘As to worldly cares, } have had but very few for twelve years past. I have a wife, and mir children ; J have great reason to believe they are all the children of Ged, and believers in the same doctrine with myself. I own a small farm ‘n Low Hampton, New York ; my family sup- rt themselves upon it, and I believe they are estesmes, i J, temperate, and industrious. They use hospitality without grudging, and never turn a pilgrim from the house, northe needy from their door. Ibless God my fa- mily are benevolent and kind to all men who need their sympathy or aid. I heve no cares to manage, except my own individual wants; I have no funds, or debts due me of any amount ; “lowe no man anything.” I have ex- pended more than 2,000 dollars ef my property in twelve ears, besides what God has given me through the dear riends in this cause. Yours, reper WM. MILLER. Partaperrmta, Feb. 4. Whiskers versus Teeth. . A gentleman relates the following incident as hav- ing occurred in a stage coach “en route” west:—An animal of the genus dandy, claimed an inside after berth, and manifested, by his impudence, that he was on capital terms with himself. A fellow passen- ger, who was disposed to be a little quizical, aavert- ed that he had known an instance where false whiskers had produced « most inveterate cancer. The remark very naturally directed attention to whiskerando; who felt extremely annoyed, finally became quite woolfish, which gave an’ ai tional zest to the sport already being enjoyed at hi expense; his anger, however, increased” as they rolled along the highway of life, uatil it excited the sympathy of his “vis @ wis,” a real live yankee who was ever on the “gui vive” for a trade, an who availed himself of the present opportunity to in- dalge in hia darling propensity, by inserting his fin- gers into his mouth nad extracting a fu'l set of teeth; puching them toward his quandam friend. Whisker- ando,saying, “how will you swopt” So ridiculous a proposition caused a ubiversal outbreak of meri- ment,and the astonished dandy, like a turtle, haul ed in his head to listen and learn wisdom in a Coaca, ‘Trial of Commander Mackenzie. Tene Day—Fes. 11. The proceedings of the Court Martial were resu- med at the usual hour in the chapel of the Navy Yard. The Judge Advocate presented the following Paper: It will be remembered, that at the outset of this case, I announced that an important point was foreseen, for the examination of which, leisure and books would be want- ed We Lape reached that point, when we came to the declaration mall in respect to Cromwell, in the conversation with Lieut. ed by the offer reply, and the testimon: couneil of officers. Asa it would not be at alladmissable egainst Mr. Speneer, Cromwell and Small, were they now alive. lt is not the proceedings of a lawful court. As evidence to show the guilt of any of the parties and their cennection, it is wholly unallowable; an investigation document is wholly: unknown tothe law, and it cannot be pretended that it is the record of these trials. Trials,as such, Commander Mackenzie had no ht to institute—the law confining that privilege to higher officers than the commander ofa single ship. Placed, however, in a position of responsibility, with the most weighty duties to perform, by virtue oftheact of Congress, allowing the President to man and officer the ships of war at his discretion, and send them abroad sing) or in squadrons, as he may see fit, it cannot be pretended that by being placed out of the reach ofthe com materials for a court martial, his hands are tied, and that he must endure mutiny and murder without any powers of counteraction. But there are rights also, on the other hand; the officer or seaman who chances to be in asingle ship fe not without prerogatives. Theordinary care and dence ofa man of reasonable j t, caution and ness, Must become his protection. If he were attached toasquadron, he would be entitled to a trial before o court martial, and the ratification of his sentence, in a cap- ital case, by a vote of two-thirds of the court. His connec: tion with asingle ship does not outlaw him. Though no court, as such, can be organized, it is the duty of prudence and ordinary caution, Ist, to bring the offender, if possi ble, to port, where the privileges of the law may be afford ed him. 2d, if that is impossible, to afford him an opportu- nity to hear the charge, examine the testimony and con- front the witnesses; anda most serious and overwhelmin necessity would needs have to be shown to dis] will this due care. Malice isof two kinds; 1st, malice in fact. 2d,malice in law. Malice in fact,is that evil and mal spirit which does a bad action from evil intention. ‘ is another, and that a large elass, when the question of in- tention is no way material,so long as the act is voluntarily done.’ In reference to such cases, the distinction of ma- lice in law has originated. Justice Buller has explained it in afew words, in»Bromage vs. Presser, in 10 Eng. Com. Law Rep. 265, where he says: ‘Malice, in com- mon acceptation, means ill will against a person; but in its legal sense, \it means a wrongful act, done intentional- ly.” The whole law has poem tersoag hy Gali seed by Lord Ellenborough, in Rex vs. Picton, Howel, St. ‘Trials, 499, establishing that commission of a wrong: ful act, even on the best advice, does not entitle the party to an acquital ; because ignorance or intention are notto be allowed to do away with the right of others. To oe undue want of caution in future, the public law olds the most honest, patriotic, and well ‘intentioned per- sons liable for wrongful acts, however bona fide done.— With this opinion, I am constrained by decisions to think the teatimony only admissable to repel malice in fact, un- less it is followed up with testimony to show that it was impracticable to allow at the investigation Mr. Spencer, Cromwell and Small the opportunity of presence, cross examination and other reat odventages of a formal trial, and that the execution was indispensably necessary, when it took place, forthe purpose of safety to the vessel or maintenance of command, and that the court is now sa- tisfied of the legally established guilt of Mr. Spencer, Cromwell and Small by the testimony now betore them.— To omit this is to fall short of ordinary caution, and then to allow one to appeal to one wrongful act to defend him- self against the consequences of another, would be a per- version of sense and ral ee This is my stern duty, according to my apprehension of thelaw. I desire thas to notify these vi }, that the counsel of the accused may contest and impeach them in his defence. ladmit that the government at sea must, of propriety, be more summary than on land, and claim more wance.

WuxrsaBours oF - Minier'ann 118 Wire.— We have received the following letter from Norfolk, stating that Mr. Miller is there with his wife. [Correspondence of the ong Norrox, Feb. 7th, 1843. ‘The celebrated Charles F_ Miller arrived here last Friday with lis abducted wife. They took lodgings at French’s Hotel, where they still remain. On Sunday last they went to church together. Mrs. Miller is rather pretty, dresses most splendidly, id moves ood company. She tells her story to al the ladi sf the hotel, "without any reserve; but some how, it elicits very little sympathy from them. Chere issomething so romantic 1n a man’s running away with his own wife, that Miller is quite a lion here. 5d He appears to and does pay her every attention, bat at the same time he never will permit her friends to disturb his domestic happiness more. Mr. Miller isa fine looking man,of middling stature, but with a determined cast of countenance, that bids defiance to haif a host. He has chosen the right place of refuge. He has ‘come to the sunny south, where his rights wilibe respected, and a place where he can fight if he does not choose to run, should her relations ask the amende honorable. They can have it here, but it he isin error,let them come, prove it, and she shall be given up if it comes within the pale of our law. But if it is onlya freak of woman, she will then be respected as the wate of Mr. Miller, These matri- monial earthquakes are siting too common in the higher circles, and the lady always comes off victori- ous, if at all aandsome. Now the plan that we shall pursue in Norfolk 1s this—a jury of ladies will be sepenelled to try Mr. Miller, and if they find him guilty Mrs.) Miller will be set at liberty and her place filled by some other, as he is too good, too wealthy to remain single-long where oesnie and brightness reigns,” as it does in Norloik. Tereiece Arrair IN PaiLapetrita.— We take the following account of a horrible affair, which oc- curred near Philadelphia last week, fromthe Times of that city of yesterday: Tne Sournwark Aspuction CasrE—Terrisix Re- sutt—Houtcnison Heserton Suor Dgap by THK Broruer or THe Younc Lapy.—The aftair, involv- ing the suspected abduction of a voung lady of Southwark, which has created so much excitement in that district, and caused so much talk and specu- lation all over the city, since Monday last, has had an awful termination. Hutchison Heberton, the in- dividual who was alleged to have abducted the young lady, last evening fell bythe hand of the brother of the latter—having been shot dead by him in a closed carriage, in which he was being private- \ conveyed out of the city by a friend, on board the steam ferry boat John Fitch. The occurrence took place just asthe boat, which had left Market st, wharf about six o’cleck, was coming into the stip at Camden. We forbear at present saying more of the matter than to give briefly the particulars. The name of the brother who committed this deed is Hall W. Mercer, clerk inthe store of Carson & Newbold, South Wharves. He had been pursuing the roué Heberton for two or three days. He pro- posed to fight him, but could not bring him to the field. He then determined to revenge summarily the outrage upon the fair fame of his family, and re- ceivingintelligence of Heberton’s intended flight to New Jersey, he laid his plans. A carriage was hired by a legal friend_of Heberton, which was driven all about town. Then it drew up to the law- yer’s door. Heberton got in. The blinds were closed. The carriage drove down to the Ferry-boat John Fitch. In the meantime Mercer had taken a ition on board the boat, behinda coal-box. There e remained unobserved, until the boat neared the Camden Ferry. He then etepped forward, present- ed a evolving pistol, and discharged four of its bar- rels into the carriage. The first ball entered Heber- ton’s body justunder the left shoulder blade, passing through the blinds of the carriage. The second penetrated the body, the third and fourth the door of the vehicle. Heberton was conveyed, as soon as the boat reached the shore, to Cake’s tavern, where he breathed his last in about 10 minutes. Mercer was immediately taken into custody. When the New York beat came over, about eleven o’clock last nignt, the coroner’s jury was still investigating the matier at Cake’s tavern, and Mercer was still in custody at the tavern, and in a terrible state of ex- citement. Pittsburg. {Correspondence of the Herald.) Pitrssure, Feb. 7, 1843. Destructive Fire— The Herald—The Ladies. Jas. G. Bennett, Esq.— I hasten to give vou an account of a very destruc- tive fire which happened last evening in this city. It was very unfortunate that the night was cold; in- deed the coldest that we have had here this winter. |, The flames were first discovered issuing from the drug store of Fleming & Co., Market street. In a tew moments the whole city was alarmed, but the cold wass6 intense that the citizens were unable to remain out. But notwithstanding this fact, the fire was surrounded with thousands of people. All the engineswere engaged in the attempt to extinguish the flames, but to very little effect, until there were four or five of the first houses of the city consumed. The loss, however, is not so great as might be ex- pected, tor many of the goods were saved. I pre- sume the logs will be something like $80,000. This morning the ruins look like a magnificent iceburg of the Northern ocean—it is one consolida ted mass of ice. The engines are standing frozen in our streets, and the citizens are crowded round, with eager interest, to leok upon the scene of this melancholy accident. t : I see that you have appointed a new agent in this city, Mr. J. P. Israel, a very obliging young man. The city press are attacking him with all the dirty scurility and defamation of which they are capable. But his course is honest, upright persevering, and he is enough for them ed for with all the eagerness look for the herald of his fate. Go on, for though you may be slandered, and vilified, and abused, the people—the respectable, the thinking part of the community—approve your course, and will cheer Ea on through this dark world of rascality and dis- onor. And, to close this short scrawl, Jet me eay that I can find nothing in the midst of this corrupt and de- generated race, to soothe the spirit—to calm the perturbed minds—to absorb the faculties—but wo- mankind. Yes, woman is the one universal centre to which all mankind look for comfort, for consola- tion, and for love. Your ob’t serv’t, Nerut. Horrw Errects or Jkarousy —A correspondent of the Portland Advertiser gives the following ac- count of one of those acts of atrocity which go to show how brutal is human nature when under the influence and control of its own passions :—One of the most deliberate murdere ever committed was perpetrated in Harpswell, Great Island, last Sabbath morning, A seafaring man, by the name ef Thorn, visited Harpswell several years since, and became acquainted with a Miss Alexander, and a mutual at- tachment was formed between them. After a few. months Thorn went to sea and did not return again until this winter, when on his arrival he found Miss Alexander was married to Elisha Wilson, of Great Island. Since his return he has made his home at Wilson’s house, and the neighbors have been a little suspicious that too great a degree of wig ex- isted between Thorn and Mrs. Wilson. Mr. Wilson occupied one part of the house, and his brother Ben- jamin Wilson, occupied the other part. Yesterday morning the latter was called at about 3 o’clock, by his brother’s wife, saying that Elisha was dead. He hastened into the other part of the house, and to his great astonishment there lay his brother on the bed. quite dead, but not cold; otherneighbors were called in, and it was thought advisable to have an exatni- nation here. Decctors Lincoln, McKeen and Cush- man were called, and upon a post mortem examina- tion, they were fully satisfied that he came to his death by a blow inflicted upon the side of the head, just above the ear, The skull was broken in a space about two inches by one inch. Uponan application it was found that the bow of a pair of heavy kitchen tongs, found about the house, would Se fill the wound. An inquest was held upon the bedy, anda verdict returned of “death by ablow from some person unknown.” Under these circumstances a warrant was taken out, and Thorn and Mrs Wilson have been arrested, and now stand commit- ted for trial. Upon examination, their sto- ries ;were quite contradictory. In the course of the day asheet and pillow case very bloody were found in a tub of water, put there evidently for the purpose of soaking out the blood. When the neigh- bore were called in, the body was lying on the bed, and but little blood to be seen about the bed. Thorn has been heard to say Tepeatediy, that he Brome Wilson would not live through the winter. The surgeons found Wileon’s brains, heart and stomach, in a good and healthy condition, so that there is no suspicion that he died of disease. UG Thousands of our citizens will be gratified to learn that upon a fal) representation of the general disap- pointment that would be felt at not seeing the Indian Chiefs, at the American Museum, during the past week,on account of the weather, and the crowded saloons, they have consented to prolong their visit for one week longer, and have offered to appear in their dances and ceremonies every day and evening ; disposed to show every indul- gence to those distinguished Chieftains, and to gratify the public in every possible way, Mr. Barnum has arranged for them to take a ride on horseback to-morrow, through the principal streets, at eleven o'clock, A.

[Correspondence of the Herald.] Wasuinaron, Friday Night, February 10, 1843. Passage of the Army Bill by the Senate— Professor Kspy—State of the Treasury— Re- e¢ of Treasury Notes—Mr. Adams on the Mississsppi Debt—Lunatic Asylum for the District of Columb/a—The District Banks—No Re-charter. There wasnot much real business done inCon- gress. The Senate passed the Army Bill with a few unimporiant amendments. One was to appropriate $2000 for meteorological observations to be con- ducted by Professor Espy. This last was opposed and passed, 28 to 13. Benton, Allen, Fulton, McRoberts, McDuffie, Sevier, Tappan, Wilcox, Wright, Williams, Young, and both the Smiths, voted against it. The bill was passed, and sentto the House for concurrence in the amendments. The only other important matter in the Senate was the passage of a Bill allowing part of the Mis- sixsippi two per cent. fund, about $25,000 to be spent in completing one of the railroads in the interior of that State. This was also sent to the House. 5 Y 2 The Senate then wentinto Executive Session for an hour. % In tHE Houss, the most important matter was a Bill offered by Mr. Finumore from the Ways and Means, to authorise the Secretary of the Treasury to re-issue $5,000,000 of Treasury Notes during the present year. This is really another loan. It ex- cited some laughter and derision all around the House. The Bill was read twice and then sent to the Committee of the Whole. It will pass—be- cause ut it, there will be an explosion. T learmt§at Mr. Fillmore has received another let- ter fromthe Secretary of the Treasury, in which the latter states, that the gross receints Tor the last uarter from customs were only. $2,350,000; out of this has te come the drawbacks, expenses, &e. It also appears that the revenue ‘rom customs last year was $3,910,000 less than the previous year. Still the Secretary consoles himself by saying there will be a balance in the Treasury at the end ot the present year of ,000, or $400,000. Tur Orecon BItt, on Mr. Everett’s motion, was taken from the Committee of the Whole and referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. You have already published this important bill exclusively. I do dot think it will pass the House. The bill to stop private expresses will pass the House, unless the press speaks ovt, and shows its enormous injustice and tyranny. Many members here say it is a mon strous measure, and one too despotic for evena Ma- homedan Government. ( _ Mr. Josgru Incersoui moved to print_ 10,000 co- pee of the reports of the Committee of Ways and eans against pega Meru 000 of Government stocks; the projet of Mr. Cost Jounson, in favor of which petitions and memorials are pouring into Congress daily trom all classes and sections of the country. I sent you a copy of the reports the other day. This motion called up Mr. Adams. __ Mr. Apams said, I hope, sir, the motion will not prevail. Ido not mean to censure the committee, or any member of it, but in a parliamentary sense, both the reports are improperly made. And the whole proceeding, sir, is not respectful to the House, nor to the gentleman from Maryland, (Cost Joun- son) he being the chairman of the select committee that have all the memorials on this subject now un- der deliberate consideration, to which they have been referred by the action of the House. Mr. Pickens Gamping up, and pate discussion or speech from the ‘‘old man eloquent.”) Have not similar memorials been presented by the gentleman from Massachusetts himself, and referred to the ert of Ways and Means, at his own request’ r. Apams.— One branch of that question I can- not answer, and I'll tell the gentleman and the House why ican't. According to the proper usage, petitions should be openly presented to the House, on certain days assigned for their presentation. But by the infamous Bag rule—(great sensation, and members crowding down round in front of Mr. Adams)—the 21st rule—that odious and detestable rule, those regular days have been devoted to other purposes. And thus, the people of these United States have been deprived of their precious right of having their petitions presented in the face of gay. They must now, by that odious rule, be sent secretly to the speaker’s table, and he is todecide whether they are to be re- ceived or not. For this reason, I can’t tell how the petitions I have offered here, have been disposed of. By that gag rule,liam not allowed to offer in the face ofthe House and the country, the petitions'that 1 am entrusted with. But am compelled to send them secretly to that table, and leave it tothe Speaker to say whether he will receive them er not, and how he will dispose of them if he does receive ’em. I have demanded a written statement from the Speal why my pejitions have not been received, but that answer has not been rendered me. No petitions have been referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, or any other Committee upon my motion. And I wish the gentleman froin South Carolina to note this fact. (Here he was very warm and ivs- pressive. and much excited, and pointed his John @ warm Randolph's finger at Mr. Williams and the Speaker.) The action of that Committee in making these re- port UIngersoll’s and the minority report) has been precipitate—it has been too hasty ; and has inter- fered improperly with the subject now betore the Select Commitee and about to be reported upon. | It is a most unusuai mode of proceeding thus to bring up these two reports, and | object to printing any extra number. These two reports, Mr. Speaker, have run the race for popularity, for the purpose of making odious aprad, to which, or to some very similar one, let the gentlemen of both parties do what they may, they “ must come at last !” A Mamper—No, never ! Anoturr Voice—Never, by G—d Mr. Apams—And, sir, what is the project? It is substantially that the General Government shall come to the aid of the several States, which States have, in pursuing laudable objects of internal improvement, become involved in debt to so great an extent that they cannot be relieved therefrom without the aid of the General Government. Well the petitioners come legitimately to this House, and ask Congress to_help them to discharge the debts thus incurred. I wish to tp tees no improper mo- tives, but I am satisfied that the Committee have not examined to any extent the proposition of the gent. from Mary!and, (Cost Johnson). Although I am on that committee, {do not wish to be considered as commiting myself in favor of that Laon res- ponsible for it; but, sir, I claim in behalf of the honor of this nation that when petitions ask‘ng for this aid from the House of Representatives are presented here, that they shall be fully and fairly considered, and not pushed aside by these side winds and blows from the Committee of Waysand Means. No mat- ter how either the whig party or the locofoco party, or the north, or the south may dread the gentle- man’s proposition, the House must come to a calm and serious consideration of it, before it is definitely disposed of. It is a most marvellous thing to me, sir—it is most surprising, that the whig party in this House should exhibit such an extraordinary anxiety to avoid the belief that they are in favor of this $200,000,000 projet. We might suppose, sir, that the whig party are afraid that when the locofocos shortly come into power, they willtry them, (in the qew of victory and flush of triumph) for treason, if they express their approval of this project, and make an application! of the ‘2d section. ¢ (Laughter.) It does appear, sir, as if the whig party, by their great haste in this matter, the running this race in the re- porte, seem to think that their very self preservation demands that they shall never, never, never consent to give any aid to those States which are involved in these disastrous debts! Why, sir, we have before this House a solemn declaration from the people of the State of Mississippi that rather than pay their debt they will goto war with Great Britain— Tuomrson, of Miss. (Jumping up ina hurry and warmly.) Sir, the State of Mississippi has never yet feleaes to pay any debt that she owed. (Great laughter.) Apams —Sir, there isa letter from Gov. M’Nutt making that etatement. If necessary 1 will send to the library for it. In that letter Gov. M’Nutt says— Tuompson.—I'd rather see the letter itself. not all this out of order, Speaxer—It is not. The motion to print embra- ounds on the merits of the two reports. Apams. hope the gentleman will read that let- ter tor the sake ot hisown character. Gov. M’Natt says that two gentlemen in this House, concur with im. ‘Tuompson (warmly)—I desire to have the letter read. Itis a private letter—not official. But, sir, jature of Mississippi have not been afraid to speak out on this subject. (Much laughter.) Her voice has been heard over the world. (Laughter. ) And I hope the gentleman will look te the action of that Legislature, and not to private letters, Avams—I repeat. sir, Gov. M’Nutt says that a ma- jority of the people in Mississippi prefer going to war rather than pay her debts Tuompson—Goy. M’Nutt did not mean any real debt owed by Mississippi; and { concur with him ; but before she will own to a debt which she does notowe, she will resort to any means before she will pay it! A Vorce—Stick to it ‘ Apams—Sir, I'll not go into the question now, whether she is beund to pay thi, debt or not; but she will not allow the judietal tribunal to say whe- ther she owes this debt or not; and she resorts to het Nnsovercign State power to decide thetiah¢ will not pay it. The gentleman concurs; and he prefers a war to paying the debt. It is not material er agents defranded her or to the point whether her ag 4 Nut’ uot. But L ask the Clerk’to read Gov. M’Nutt’s let- ter, (The letter was fread. e e one ad- e to Ritchie and published in the “* Riehmond Enquirer.” Itsays that most likely some demand would be made by Great Britain on the US Gen- eral Gevernment for the payment of the Mississippi bonds ; and it adds that a'5ths ot the people of that State would rather go to war with England, let the consequences be what end may, than pay either principal or interest; and that Gwinn and ‘Thomp- on a Senator Walker, are all of the same opin- ior. Apbams —This letter supposes that a demand from abroad willbe made te pay this debt, and yet prefers war. Su , Sir, Great Britain, or any nation, should deelare war against Mississippi, and send her armed steamers to burn Natchez ; will Missias State Rights prevent her calling on the General Go- vernment for assistance? This Union, Sir, would have to stand by that State. They could not see any State invaded or possessed by an enemy. Then suppose as the terms of peace the Union should be required to pry all the debt and all the expenses of the war? Sir, the British not only made the Chi- nese pay their debt, but $21,000.000 for war ex. enses. And, Sir, the two debts are not dissimilar ! he issue must come tous in this shape, unless we relieve not only Mississippi but the other States from their debts. Sir, this is a question of morality andhonor, and voth Congress and the General Go- vernment are beund in honor to take up the subject seriously,and see how they can assistthe States with- out incurring the horrors of a disastrous war in or- der to sustain the nation’s safety, and to shield it from dishonor! ? The Speaker explained that he had done no more than his duty in the disposition of petitions. He had never acted partially. Mr. Apams said he cast no imputation on the Speaker. He merely wished te show the infamous nature of the gag rule. Mr. Gwinn ros quickly SeveraL Mempers—No! no! sit dewn. ‘Tuomrson—I hope my colleague will be allowed to go on—— Skverat Voicrs—No—no—no—yes— yes. (Great noise and excitement) Mr. J. R.

Mr. Apams.—I impugned the motives of no man. Mr. Gwynn, (warmly.)—The gentleman seems anxious now, sir, about the British navigating the Mississippi He was not alwaysso, sir. There isa question ot “adjourned veracity,” if I read history right, between him and another gentleman (Clay,) about the navigation of those waters, and it has yet to be settled whether he did not wish to give them up to the British. I feel degraded, sir, to hear the gentleman bring forward the affair with China. We have had two wars with England and been triumph- ant in both; and so,we shall be ina third. As to the Mississippi bonds, the country understands that mat- ter not very perfectly. I shall not discuss it now, sir; but it is merely a question whether the State shall protect the constitution from the frauds of the Union Bank. It is not a question of repudiation, but simply “Shall Mississippi pay a debt which she did not contract, or not?” That’s all.
