For more than eight years he is spared to our affections, and though for the last three of them he seldom quits his dwelling, except to bow himself in the house of God, his mental faculties remain unimpaired ; nor are they idle for aday, His corresponce, whether of friendship or of private or public business, is kept up with steadiness and activity. Alive to everything that concerns his beloved country, and taking daily note of her affair: sounds from his lone watch-tower the voice of coun: of warning, Lagan the vision which he sees, and to the message which has been given him. And th ugh at times a dull ear is turned to his prophesyings, yet in most cases, and especially in the latest, his words have been clothed with their ancient power over the gninds and the actions of his fellow If there ,be any to whom these utterances seem futile or needless, they will yet allow that each of them breathes the language of the heart, and is in- stinct with zeal for the happiness and glory of America. But it is notto the public cause that all ‘his thoughts are given, Weighty and instant as are the duties of the citizen to his country, Anprew Jackson remem- bers that he owes to his maker a higher and more solemn responsibility. This sentiment had been im- planted in his youthful breast by: a mother’s lessons and a mother’s love. It had been nourished by the example of a wife—one of the excellent of the earth ; by providential deliverances and favors, by the peru: sal of the Book of God, and by the instructions of the pulpit. Under the circumstances in which he is now placed, these influences acquire new, and, by Divine lessing, decisive force. They lead him to the Garden and the Cross; He seeks and he obtains the forgive- nets of his sins; he avows before the world the hopes he has received, and publicly enlists in the army of the faithful. Henceforward he ad- dicts himself with a child-like docility to the du- ties and privileges of the Christian lite. He finds ‘in them his chief enjoyment, and they p@luce in him their appropriate effects—peace with God, fortitude in. suffering, patience and resignation in the midst of pain, serenity and hope in the P parture. And when at length the final hour has come, how does it illustrate the humility of his char acier, the warmth of his benevolence, the sincerity, the vigor of his faith! With prayers for his house- hold, his friends, his country; with words of instruction and of love to all around him; with entire reliance on the merits of his Redeemer, he commits, without amurmer ora sigh, his immortal spirit: to the God of his rospect of his de bis petishing body to the dust, from which t Snch, fellow-citizens, were the last_ moments of Andre Jackson. How unlike those usually ‘and Romance to their fabled heroes! 1 sober judgment of enlightened reason, not I ublime and heroic, than if passed on the field of battle and in the chariot of victory. The greatest of ail triumphs is that which is acliieved ever the lastenemy ; and this, through the faith that is in Jesus, Jackson was enabled to achieve. The fires of the last day shall consume the Jaurel wreaths of earth ; most of them, indeed, will have withered ere it comes ; and all ever worn or won, in the tive of time, would furnish no compensation for the los: of a single soul. But the chaplet awarded to the faith- ful soldier of the cross, shall be acrown of glory “ that Jadeth not away.’ How poor, in comparison, the death scenes enacted by the most illustrious warriors of the heuthen world! ‘Jackson was a Christian, and he died the Christian’s death. In view of fact, and of its blessed issues, how rich, how unfailng, our sources oi consolation? In notes as melodious and sublime as those which wafted to the skies, by the aid of Milton's immor- tal genius, the departing spirit of the Hebrew Martyr— the chorus of American sympathy sends up from our Jackson's bed of death, its pean of mournful exultation— “ Nothing is here for tears, nothing to wail, or Knoek the breast ; no weakness, no contempt, praise or blams ing but well and fair, And what may quiet w ” adeath so noble. The Valley of the Mississippi, the theatre of his youthful vaior and his meridian renown-—-the sanc- tuary of his declining age —folds within her bosom the ashes of her Hero.

We desire to thank Thee for all Thy mercy to us, and tothe children of men. We bless Thy name for what thou hast done for us and for our fathers, and for all that we are permitted to hope from Thy kind providence for the time to come.

And we thank the Lord—the God and Father ofour Lord Jesus Christ, that after the fulfilment of ne panne career, he was permittod to retire ‘to the peaceful shades of domostio life, where, in tho lin. filed off in regular order, and in a few minutes the whole scene in front of the City Hall was quite changed. ae Ixciwenrs. ay ie The incidents attending the two first Divisions, were few indeed throughout the route. This per- haps was much owing to the presence of Justice Matsell, accompanied by one or two other Magis- trates, and a possee of police, who led the way.— The only feature that wus at all striking was the free use that one of the Alderman made of his staff in repelling intruders who presumed to step within its react» during the procession. This was very forcibly felt by a youth as the corporate ed wasentering the Park on their return. We heard that one of the of ficers of the First Brigade was thrown from his horse near Dey straet, previous to the commence- ment of the processi n,and was severely hurt. He was taken iato an adjoining house, and shortly afterwards removed to his residence. Every space in the Park was filled with spectators ; the trees were crowded with youths anxious even to obtain a bird’s eye view of the proceedings. Every window within sight of the Park, vaio 8 Chatham street, Chat- ham Square and East Broadway, and indeed throughout the whole route, was crowded. Even the roofs of the highest buildings were thronged with spectators. Brooklyn, and parts adjacent, were quite emptied of their populist . Truly it might be said, their streets were deserted. Extra ferry boats were in active operation throughout the day. The only. wonder is that such a vast assemblage should f°, off with so little untoward events. We did not ear of a single accident of a more serious nature than the one mentioned. On the return, the first body entered the Park at ten minutes before six o’- clock, thus taking close upon four hours to go the route. The last division only left. Centre street about fifteen minutes before the arrival of the ad- vance guard at the Park on their return. The most moderate calculation made of those present at the commencement of the procession was 50,000. In the two first divisions there were said to be 15,000 At the hour pencuah mentioned the grand procession lett the Park and moved up Chatham street, which was thronged of curious and exci mated Swith one spirit, and all eager to view the parade in honor of the memory ot him who so bravely, so gallantly, and so fearlessly de- fended and maintained his country’s honor and his country’s rights in the dark hour of danger, peril, and distrust. The balconies and windows in Chat- ham street were filled with the lovely and bewitch- ing forms of fair Jewesses, whose large dark eyes, *neath oe and silken eyelashes, flashed in the golden sunlight,bewitching, but yet mournful, glances on the vast throng beneath. With dense masses citizens, all ani- Old clo? men, who ir trade irrespective of Sab- bath or holy day, now closed their shops in honor of this occasion. All was hushed and still, save the low, deep, mournful tones of the muffled drum, and strains of martial music from fall and effective bands, which fell like a knell upon the ear, Occasionally would the sharp and piereing cry of pain come from some unfortu- nate urchin whose toes had been trampled on by the busy crowd, or the invectives and reproofs of an old apple’ wonian, create loud pera of laughter and witty sallies from the throng, who had accidentally oyer- tumed her cart and fruit—“Oh, may the curse of St. Pathrick light on the whole of ye, ye dirthy black: Cas Tianaroe duil a rud slath—arrah, and is this the way ye’d be afther showin’ your respect for the Gineril, faith—pick ’em up, Biddy—pick em up —don’t make a fussnow.” “Oh, oh! get off my corns, will you—oh! oh!” ‘Stand back, there— stand’ back!” shouted the guard.‘ Stand back, is it—faith and may be ye’d have ys stand on the houses,” answered an Irishman, just from the “‘firat gem of the sea.” With these and many similar expressions of pain, condolement, fun and good humor, the procession moved onto Chat- ham Square,which was denselycrowded by men,wo- men and children of all sorts, sizes and complex- ions. Mothers with their infants in their arms, and oldgrey-headed sires, tottering on crutches, gay laughing troops of smiling bright-eyed icles, who tried hard to keep sober faces—and mnait dressed lads on their best behavior, together with hackney coaches with swearing drivers, omnibuses, cabs, wagons, horses, pigs, rowdies, loafers, black- guards, pickpockets and dirt, dust and smoke in abundance, were here assembled. At the corner by the post office, was a little old fellow selling root beer trom a barrel—he appeared doing a flourishing business, and the pennies were fast accumulating in his capacious pockets—but, alas ! it was the decree of fate that he. too, should expe- rience his share of trouble, for in drawing a glass of the inviting beverage out flew the ** bung,” and high flew the a descending in showers on the silk shawls and straw bonnets of the ladies, and ruining Ki arrangement of sundry neckcloths and linen shirts, . Loud and long were the peals of laughter wh ich followed this unforseen event, and the procession again moved on up East Broadway, _ The balconies,windows,and even the tops of houses ‘nthis highly fashionable street, were full of ladies and gentlemen who waved their handkerchiets as the procession passed along, “ Fair women and brave men,” under the scorching heat of the noon day’s sun, had aesembled to cheer and urge on this interesting and imposing ceremony. . Wreaths of fresh and beautiful flowers, wound into garlands, weie from time to time thrown by lovely hands to the weary troops who, by looks, at least, thanked the givers for this mark of their ap- probation. One general enthusiasm seemed to per- vade the breasts of the procession, and the lookers on, All “ the pride, pomp and circumstance of glo- rious war,” wus here. With such a ceremon would not live, fight, generally drive t rat for a closing scene, who die for his. eountry—who would not serve long years of toil. and hardship if such a fatemight be the reward. Never have we wiloenie dso imposing, brilliant, and solemn a s stacle, he uppearancefof the Bowery and Union Square wasmostlively. All along the line of march the windows and streets were crowded with people. who took up their position at an early hour, an awaited the great event of the day with the most ex- amplary patience. ‘The park in Union Square was crowded, but not with its usual company, the upper tens having seceded for the time, and their Dae Was filled with a concourse of the multitude, com- prising high and low. The beautiful fountain was in full play, and the bare-footed urebins, that appear to spring up by magic on every public day like yes- terday, were busily engaged paddling about in ‘the water, and redeeming themselves from the imputa- tion of belonging to the “great unwashed.” But the mansions in the square presented a most animated and oh sight; every window was crowded with ladies ; also the stoops. In whatever direction one looked, groups of loveliness and elegance met the eye. Numbers of private carriages and omnibuses stationed themselves around the equare, and afford- ed their passengers a favorable view of the immense procession as it swept around the park. | We. think this spot was decidedly the most favorable one in the whole city for witnesain, the proceedings, and as it pemeed round and defile down Broadway,itexceeded in grandeur any former one that we have ever seen. For upwards of three hours one continuous march of military and socie- ties, with their banners, was kept up—and we can tut repeat that it was the most impressive and grand display that has ever taken place in New York. No disturbance that we could learn, of, took place in this part of the city, and every thing went off with perfect quiet. ‘The large crowd that had assembled conducted themselves with a propriety and quiet suited to the occasion. ‘The intense heat and cloud- less sky caused soda water, and such cooling bever- ages, to be in great demand, a few of the never= to-be-forgotten tin eups that graced the Park Foun- tain last Ath of July, would not have been amiss at Union Park Fountain ; but, in default. of them, all Kinda of vessels were made use of to dip up water wherewith to quench the thirat of the manv. We saw one young gentleman very eomplae*ally using the top of a blacking bo dipper, and, at the moment, many envied himeven that extraordinary drinking cup. The pump was surrounded by ® crowd of anxious vehi its, and if Truth is to be found in a well, she must certai ve been Sroughtto the upper world by the tneessant purnp ing that was kept up. Eee reached Broadway. The re, from Union and to City Hall, so early as half past three o’elock, baffles de- scription. low—e' step—e ry from whence could be caught impee of the pro- cession, were literally Bree up to suffocation ‘The intense heat was ost intolerable, yet it did not keep the anxious crowds, who flocked from the adjoining streets, trom blocking up the sidewalks at either side. The appearance of the procession on. pas _ Union are into Broadway, was truly imposing. The scene had more ramet aye ot some festive celebration, than any thing that attaches to the grave solemnities whi the procession was designed to celebrate. The crowds on the streets, particularly at this point, be- came rather noisy, as the head part of the procession approached. The coup a’q@il, as the two first divi- sions had passed down Broadway, from Union Park, was truly imposing—animating—when view- ed from an elevated spot. The slow and solemn tramp of the cavalry, with occasionally some res- tive animal breaking the monotony of the scene, and attempting to break its own neck, or that of its rider—the windows all studded with an array that classic beauty, of which New York at all times feels so deeply proud. ‘The “light artillery” of ppailing eyes; that shone from the windows, capa- ble of subduing the ** heavy artillery” that was ing by the tout ensemble, altogether, was, indeed, grand and imposing, and ‘has never been equalled in any similar display in this city. ‘The crowd on re- cognizing some of the Foreign Ambassadors, as they passed along, seemed deeply pleased. Several, on arriving near Canal street and vicinity, straggled out of the ranks, apparently fatigued with walking. The Common Council seemed to bear the labor with goad nerve and resolution, headed by Oliver Char- ick, Esq. On passing Canal street, there did not appear a single stragglerin the crowd. Near “Nib- lo’s,” a rumpus was nigh being made—some demon- stratien of ill-feeling on the eat of some rowdies, having been manifested as the “Shamrock (Irish’ Benevolent Society,” was passing by. This cause some slight disorder; but, the society soon again formed in line. An alarm of fire, about six o’clock, caused some further confusion. Some rowdies at- tacked a cartman in the vicinity of Canal street, and the cartman made a noble fight, by laying on them with his whip. He subseqnently was hunted down Canal street, where he got help, and again beat back the rowdies. The pickpockets were quite busy in exercising their craft ; as they made some havoc up- on numberless silk handkerchiefs, and gloves, with whatever loose articles they could waiely lay their hands on. Those worthies seemed evidently much pleased with the appearance of the Police otficers in the procession doubtless from the consideration, that they “looked well at a disance.” No further incidents worthy of notice, as faras we could ascer- tain occurred, on this part of the route. There was an immense concourse of people, of bothsexes,and all classes assembled along Broadway on both sides, and it was utterly impossible for an; person to cross some of the streets. An unusual ani unpleasant occurrence took place as one of the Ar- tillery companies was coming along, close up to the walk, The people who had gone some distance into the street were rather unwiliing to make way; the military were not to be drove out of their course, and drove on when the crowd fell back, and then men, women and children, were tumbling one over the other, considerably injuring and hurting many, in the melee, A little boy who got on to an awning post fell down and was much injured. Another at the entrance from Broadway to the Park; there was a great number of men, women and children col- lected, and also a large number of horsemen and omnibusses, when there was an alarm of fire, and as usual, the “boys” made a rush through the proces- sion, knocking down and hurting some, frightenii the horses considerably, who kicked and jumpe around, knocking coy apple stands, and o' arate injuring pe! is and property—it was some time be- fore order could be aesarede There was not one political banner in the whole procession. Those that had ever been used for sucha parpaee if there were any, were so well cov- ered with lack crape and muslin, as to completely hide the political signification. Through the city we only observed a single one, in the neighborhood of our office, out of the many thousands that “fluttered in thebreeze.” But, perhaps, in this instance, itwas i poverty, and not ihe will consented.” The long delay that took place ere the different associations could fall in, was the means of ihinnng the ranks most materially ; in some instances, patties had to wait at their several rendezvous, under a broiling sunshine, peas .of three hours, ere their turn came. Perhaps this was unavoidable, in the great mass who were desirous of doing honor to “depart- ed worth,”—but the will must be taken for the deed. The order was pretty well kept on the whole at the start, in East Broadway, There were.a few long pauses, it was said owing to the falling in of differ- ent associations at that point. Those who have seen the different grand displays that have been made in the Empire State for the last 50 years, say, there was never one equal to the present in point of uumbers, good order, respectability, and good ar- rangements. © One spirit a ered to pervade the mass, to sink all political feeling and aid in doin, justice to the memory of one who had serve long and faithfully “ for his country’s weal.— ‘The nearest relation—the greatest friend—the most ardent political admirer of the deceased, cannot but be am, hee esa at the demonstration of opinion and feeling that was exhibited on this occasion. Every respectable store in the city, after two o'clock, was tlosed-—all appeared to vie with each other in expressing feeling for the illustrious dead. - ‘Thus it should ever be—the ve covers all faults— we have only to look to the virtues of the deceased. Sacren Concert or THE FRENCH ComPANY AT ru ‘TABERNACLE.—The ceremonies in honor of An- drew Jackson could not have been concluded in a worthier manner than by the glorious selection of standard sacred music, such as was performed last evening at the Tabernacle by the French Company, ‘The highest eulogy we can give them, is, that those who were present have been fully inderunitied for the unspeakable torments inflicted by the countless ectempore ape of time and out of place—) bands who paraded the streets from ripening night. A more pleasant selection could not have been made, for Mozart, Rossini, Auber and Michul did the honors of the evening under the able guidance of Prevost, who distinguished himself both as leader and composer. The concert begun with a grand symphonia, com- posed by Prevost, very well executed by the excellent orchestra, yet which we should have wished a lit- tle more numerous. | Amongst Prevost’s four pieces performed last evening, we liked this Lig hy least. The great inspirations of Mozar?, Haydn, Beethoven and Mendelssohn, have made this kin of music extremely difficult; for accustomed as we are to their wonderful achievements, we cannot help instituting comparisons, the result of which can be easily guessed, Ihe principal fault of Prevost’s composition lies in the name, for it,is nothing more than along and elaborated overture, the first and jast movement of whichis written in the classical style, which somewhat contrasts with the sueceed- ing allegro; for with the exception of a very charming instrumentation, we could not find any remarkable feature in it. ‘The sextuer, on the contrary, is an extremely happy effort, of which we cannot speak in terms high enough. In general, Prevost appears to possess by far a greater talent for vocal compositions than for merely instrumental ones, ilis funeral march is a very meritorious piece, but there we think again of Beethoven’s marcia funebre which by the by, we missed in the programme. ‘The air, “ Hostras,” likewise, is a very good com- position, possessing many beauties of a high order. It told extremely well in the hands of Garry, who with his uncommonly melodious voice—a baritone, yerging on tenor—produced much effect with it ‘The gems of the evening were the selections from Mowurt’s requiem. We simply say, requiem, for we do not know of any epithet that would be wor- thy enough to be applied to it. The chorus “ Dies ire” and the quartetto, electrified the audience, and were rapturously applauded. Prevost probably has some spite against Rossini, for why would he have placed the dies ira between two numbers of the Stabat unless to show 1ts comparative weakness? The Stabat undoubtedly is a wonderful composition as a purely musical work, but it lacks the qualities which essentially constitute sacred music. Arnaud was much Abaniod in the tenor air, which unquestion- ably is the weakest number of the Stabat. He poe esses much force, fire and sentiment, but his voice 18, an in prano passages, principally at the begin- ning. He is, therefore, not unfrequently liable to a defective intonation. gir is perfect musical education. e ure certain that he will be liked, even more than he is now, when the public will be more accustomed to the particular qualities of his voice. His manner of filer /es sons is unexcept- ionable. Douvre in the ‘‘ De profundis” was respeet- able ; the air is a little toohigh for him. The “ in- flammatus” was pug by Calvé ina very bewitching oes manner, although it Not entirely suit her style of singing, somewhat deficient in dramatic intensi- ty, but which she supplied through her correct voca- lization, The audience could have been more nu- inerous, the fatigue of the day undoudtedly prevent- ed many from attending. @ noticed many of our New York musicians, as well as Ole Bull, who had arrived trom Boston.

The Solemnities Yesterday, We give in this day’s paper the fullest possible ac- count of the funeral solemnities yesterday. It is enough to say that they were werthy of the occa- sion. ene nell Sovrnern Mar.—We regret to learn that the great southern mail is hereafter to leave Philadel- phia at 8 o’elock, instead of 7 in the morning, and arrive here at two or three in the afternoon, instead of one o’elock. We regret this, because it seems to be an unnecessary length of time for the mail to lay in the Philadelphia Post Office, namely, four or five hours everyday. ‘The Post Master General does not take the convenience of the merchants of this city into consideration in this new arrange- ment. Cusrom House Arroinrments.—We are requested to state, that the assertion of one of the morning papers of yesterday, that Capt. Rynders was ap- pointed a Weigher in the Custom House, in the place of Mr. Gourlay, is not true. Capt. Rynders has been appointed a Measurer, in the place vacated by G F. Thompson, who was appointed an Assis- tant Appraiser. Sream Suir Campria, from Boston, arrived at Halifax, on the 18th,7 A. M., and was to leave at 11 A. M. for Liverpool. Akgrivats IN THe Crry.—His Excellency Silas Wright arrived in this city yesterday, accompanied by Mr. Flagg and Mr. John Van Buren, State Attor- ney General. His Excellency leaves the City Hotel this day for Albany. {rg Ex-Governor Marcy, Secretary of War, is expected to arrive this day from Washington, pre- paratory to his tourof survey of fortifications in the Fulton steamer. {rg- Among the arrivals yesterday at the Astor, will be found the name of Ole Bull. Theatricals Nisio’s Garpex—Mr. Roserrs.—This gentleman appears this evening in two pieces, the admired pe- tite comedy of “One Hour,” with the never tiring Polka, and in “Roland for an Oliver,” which is far- ther strengthened by the popular Chippindale, Pla- cide and Miss Taylor. The ‘Acrobat Family’s popularity is still inthe ascendant—their feats are accomplished with most extraordinary rapidity, and include some that verge very cjosely on the impossi- ble. They execute beautiful columns, pyramids and tableaux. We hear they are all shortly to appear in a ballet pantomime. Patamo’s Orrra Hovse.—This theatre was last night crowded to excess. The burlesque opera of “Shin-de-Heel-a,” which 1s in two acts, and taken from the opera of Cinderella, is beyond conception. ‘The performance went off well, to the delight of the audience, who signified their approbation by nume- rous encores. Dryngrorv’s Beverrt.—On Wednesdey evening the old “war horse” of the drama, William Dinne- ford, takes his benefit at the Bowery theatre, near and directly opposite his old “stamping een 7, where, whilom, he was wont to cater for jousands of our theatre-going Gothamites. His bill will rich- ly bear a reference, and the entertainment a call. His Excellency Manager Mitchell has volunteered to grace the occasion with his presence; and the immortal Flyan and his beauteous better-half will ‘‘do liberal” in the good cause. New Yorkers are proverbially grateful, and now is their time to re- member that “one good turn deserves another.” Sporting Intelligence. Trorrine Matcnes ovER THE CENTREVILLE Course, L.

This match has been long pend- ing, but what with quibling and other proceedings disgracetul to real sportsmen, has not come off ; but it is hoped that this will decide the affair. Loss or Suretcat InstrumeNts.—We are request- ed to state that Dr. Detmold yesterday lost a pocket- book full of surgical instruments. The finder will be suitably rewarded by leaving it at the office of the New York Hotel. No questions will be asked. Prorie’s Line or Sreampoats.—We are happy to learn that the large interest of Mr. Daniel Drew, in the People’s Line of Hudson River Steamboats, has been pur- chased by several enterprising Albanians. The new pryprietors of this line are practi men, who have long een actively engaged in river business. A‘majority of the stock’of tho lendid boats,the Knick- erbocker, South America, Rochester, North America, kc. ig now owned in Albany, we hope that our citize1 rally will interest themselves in giving them a uni- ted and liberal support In addition to these, the Rip Van Winkle and Hendrik Hudson, two new mi ificent steamers, will soon take their places in the People’s Line.—.dhany Journal.

I write in haste to inform you of another attempt to destroy one of the buildings connected with Rut- ger’s College. About 14 0’clock this morning, we were awakened by the ringing of bells, rattling of the engines, and alarms of “fire!” At firet we were disposed to regard it as a false alarm, but soon we beheld the glare on the spires of the churches. We then hur- tied into the streets, which we found filled with persons hastening to the scene of action; we joined them, and soon found ourselves in front of the col- lege, back of which the building on tire was situa- ted. The grounds we found occupied with engines, and an immense concourse of citizens. All efforts to save the building were unavailing. It had been filled with some combustible matter, such as tar barrels, shavings, &c., which must have rendered it difficult to extinguish. The flames, however, rolled on, and soon the rafters and timbers fell in, and it remained a heap of smoking ruins. There appears to be but little doubt as to who are the incendiaries. This is the second attempt within a week that has been made to destroy this Duliding, and in this they have succeeded. ‘The injury sus- ‘aided will amount to several hundreds, as not only the loss of the building and contents, but also the destruction of property and injury to the grounds of i college occasioned by the engines and popu- ace. There has little or nothing else of importance oc- curred lately. ” We learn that a reward of $50 has been offered by the authorities of the college for the discovery of the incendiaries, Fava. Arrray in New Orugans.—Late last eve- ning there was a fatal affray in Philippa street, near the Eclipse Stables.in which a young man named Ro- bert Creswell,a clerk n: « mercantile house,was stabbed so badly that he died in a short time, The deed is sup- posed to have been perpetrated by another clerk, named Switzer, who immediately fled and had not been arrested at lo’clock. ‘There had been an old grudge between the parties, which we learn had been amicably settled ; but last night it broke out afresh, and the result is known. Such are the particulars, so far as we were able to learn them, of this unfortunate affray. Croswell was ayonne mon'well known in the city, and we have Seen told, v0 an excellent reputation. -N: 0.

TeRriwex Svicipe.—On Saturday morning lasta man named Andrews, in the employ of Mr. Mar- jey, tanner and currier, committed suicide at the half. way house, between Troy and Lansingburg. He was a respectable and industrious man, but his mind had been exercised to an undue extent by frequent and long atten dance upon the preaching of Elder napp, of Troy, and some meetings of the Millerites. He had been in a state of partial mental alieniation several times of late. Oa Saturday morning he locked himself into a room of the half-way house, and in an hour or two after was found lying dead upon the floor, weltering in his blood, with his throat cut from ear to ear with a razor. Runsine tae Bounpary_L ‘The six Com- missioners appointed by the United States and Great Bnitain to run the Boundary line between the Province of Canada and the States, are now in Berkshire, in this county. When in Richmond they cut off the farms of three good Vermonters—two locofocos and one whig—and new their farms are situated in Canada. As the locofoco Representative from Richmond had but one majority last year, we suppose, he will not he pleased with this governmental interference.—Franklin (Vt) Messenger Wuaters.—Our whaling fleet now counts six hun- dred and twenty-five vessels, the greater part of which are ships of four hundred tons burden, amountii in all to two hundred thousand tons. The majority ot these vessels cruise inthe Pacific Ocean. Between fif- teen and sixteen thousand men are required to man these vessels, half of whom go to sea for the first time as green hand,” and return, after a voyage of fatigue and hazard, transformed into sailors. The value of the whole fleet is estimated at not less than twenty-five, millions of dollars, extracted from the ocean by hard toil, exposure, and danger. The estimated quantity of oil imported into the United States is about four hundred thousand barrels, nearly one half of which is sperm oil. The greatest pro- tion of the whale oil finds a market in Germany, Hol- fond, and Prussia. CurtprEN Awona THe Osaces.—We learn from a gentleman who resides on the State line, near the Osage Indians, and whose word m parents in Te: and Our informant states hat such of them as have been seen by the whites are rightly and intelligent children, of both sexes, but erally have been taken when so young as to have lost all recollection of their parents, homes, or of the place from which they®were taken. Otages will only sell them for horses or goods. Occasionally, they bring one into the settlement to barter off. A few days since, a gentleman of Newton county, purchased, fora horse, a pretty girl, about eleven years old. A few days before our informant left, another Osage broughtin a boy, about eight or nine years old, which he, however, a not succeed in sellii Should not the United States officers look to thi od is it not the duty of the Indian Agent to enquire into it? ‘The Osages have purchased them ; the tribe is poor, and they should be paid for the restoration of them.

This day having been devoted to the funeral obsequies of General Jackson, all branches of business were sus- pended. The banks were closed at an early hour, the Old Board of Brokers had no meeting, and the stores throughout the city were closed. Our streets were fill- ed with citizens and strangers, and the display got up on the occasion absorbed the attention of people of all sexer, ages and color. The Receivers of the Atlantic Insurance Company have declared a final dividend, payable on the seven- teenth of July. ‘The Tradesmen’s Bank of this city has declared a se. mi-annual dividend of five per cent, payable on the first of July. We stated a few days since that an injunction had been placed upon the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Bank of Mi- chigan, Detroit. A committee was oppointed to investi- gate the affairs of the bank, which reported thet after a just valuation of the real estate and securities due the bank, deducting from the aggregate amount the sum of $185,974 as bad, contingent or doubtful, they found the present amount of securities and assets to be $254,046 over and above all the liabilities of the institution. + The most important line of railroad in contemplation in this immediate neighborhood, is that running from Hartford to Danbury, Connecticut. This road will be forty miles long, running through the best manufacturing districts of Connecticut, and strike the New York line about twenty-five miles above the present terminus of the Harlem railroad. The completion of the road from Hartford to Danbury, and an extension of the Harlem to connect at Danbury, would perfect the line of railroads from Maine to Georgia, and give us an internal route, by steam, from one end of the Union ‘to the otlier. These roads would connect this city with all the principal lines of New England, and with Albany, via the Housatonic road, and until a mure direct line was completed, would give us almost the exclusive control of the trade of the valley of the Connecticut,and give usa share of the greet Northern trade, which the Eastern people are making such strenuous efforts to secure. An expeditious land communication with the interior, has become absolutely necessary to secure the permanent prosperity of this city, and prevent our more enteiprising neighbors from drawing away our trade. It is doubtful whether a rail- road from New York to Albany could be made profite- ble, in opposition to the river route, but a line connect. ing this city with Albany via the Eastern roads, would secure the land travel and freight of the interior, with- out coming in competition with the boats on the river, and drawing business from so many sources, could not be otherwise than productive. An extension of the Harlem to connect with the Danbury and Hartford road, would secure the Eastern and Northern trade, and we must look to the Erie railroad to secure the Western trade. We have the means to sustain our position as the commercial emporium of ‘the Union—all we have to do is to use them judiciously and economically. ‘We annex a table giving an account of the exports of the principal articles of British and Irish produce and ianufacture, in the first three months ending April 6th, 1845, compared with the exports in the corresponding period in 1843 and 1844 :— Exports or Britis Propvce axp Mam CTURES FROM tur Usiren Kincpom or Great TAIN.

The mannfactories of cotton goods in the United itates have turned out more fabrics this season than ever before in the same perfod, and the demand from the con- umers has been much more limited this season than the sorresponding one last year. Notwithstanding these things, and in thé face of a high tariff of duties, the im- portations of cotton and woullen manufactures of Great Sritain into this country have increased about one hun ired per cent in three months. We have in this fact the trongest Fevidence in existence of the slight effect of « high tariff upon our importations. We sce that the manufacturers of Europe can send their fabrics to the markets of this country, in the face of the most protec- tive tariff, we have ever enforced. These things how how defective the policy of the party professing protective principles is, and how short sighted heir views are upon every subject regulating the commercial movements of the Union. The truth of matter is, that both parties have no system of regula- ting commercial affairs, or, in other words, neither party have yet adopted the proper plan to carry out their prin- ciples. The whig party advocate measures that annul ach other, It is in favor of a protective tariff, and of an snflated paper currency. A currency based principally 1pon paper issues, soon becomes depreciated, and prices vecome inflated to sueh an extent that the manufacturers of Europe can, in consequence of the difference between heir currency and ours, obtain prices for their fabrics in our markets sufficiently high to enable them to pay the sreatest per cent duty, and make good profits out of he business.
