ALD. NEW YORK HER November 11, 1845+ ew York, Tue: — ——— Opening of Congress—Combination against Mr. Polk’s Administration. In the year 7999 B. C., or nearly ten thousand years ago, according to the ancient chronicles of Hindostan, written in the Sanscrit character, there was an expedition projected from one of the princi- wal ports of Hindostan, to sail round the world, and ascertain whether it was spherical or not, and whether there were any new countries not yet known to the civilization of that early period of so- ciety. A very fine ship was built, fitted up in the most magnificent style, and manned and equipped ia the most complete order, according to the skill i the arts in those early days. Every thing was ready for the great expedition around the world— the great voyage of discovery—that was to settle and determine a variety of matters, then only sur- | mised by the savans of Hindostan. One day the vessel sailed out of port on an experimental trial | and there was a great deal of difficulty sprung up | suddenly during this experimental trip, between the | captain and certain portions of the crew, relative to | the management of the rudder, and particularly re- specting the tiller by which the rudder is con- trolled. Ths captain insisted that he could not navigate the vessel round the world, and en- | counter the various dangers that he expected | to meet, unless he hed full authonty over that | litde instrument belonging to the vessel which was culled the tiller, and which controls the rudder, that in its turn directs the movements of the ship. Seve- ral of the younger officers and certain portions of the crew, who were not then broke in to the dise1- pline of moderna times on shipboard, and who had never been under such a flag as that of the United States, were determined that there should be no til- ler to the helm, and that the captain should have no control whatever over the vessel. Whilst this dis- pute went on, the beautiful vessel, covered with the | whitest and most imposing canvass, sailing gallantly | before the wind, mounting proudly over the waves, | and giving every indication of capability to sail round the earth, to determine whether it was spheri- eal or not, a storm suddenly arose, and in the midst of the quarrel about the tiller, the vessel went ashore on the rocks, andin a short time went to pieces, A large portion of the crew were engulphed | in the breakers,and the captain and a few of the mid- shipmen or mates only escaped. | Such is the position of the present administration | of the United States government at the opening of | Congress. Mr. Polk has been elected to fill one of the highest posts in the civilized world— the Presidency of the United States—a na- tion which takes the lead of ‘every other country in the great progress of humanity and civilization,Son the face of this mighty globe. He is now jn the very crisis of his destiny. In a few weeks Congress meets, and immediately there- utter he presents a message to that body, developing his policy—his measures—and his views, which are to receive the sanction of the representatives of the | nation, or to be condemned by them. Yet, although , he was elected by a plurality of the people of this country, there are strange indications coming to us | | from all points of the compass, and from every sec- | tion of the country, that a vast combination 1s ma- turing to break down his administration in its very inception—in its very bud. The first effort will be | made on the question of public printer—an isolated | question—an inferior point—a small affair, hardly equal to that of the title to the helm of the vessel which was wrecked according to the story which we have already given, on the coast of Hindostan, nearly ten thousand years ago, according to the an- cient chronicles of the East. Yet things have taken such a shape, and political matters have been | brought to sucha crisis, that if Mr. Polk’s printer | to Congress, we mean Mr. Ritchie, should be de- | feated by a combination of his own apparent friends, but really secret foes, with the regular opposition, | we have no doubt that the administration will be weakened and enervated for its remaining term of office, so as to be utterly inefficient to give dignity | and character to the government of the country for | years to come. | Let us look at the elements which are matur.ng in various parts of the country, in order to weaken the | influence-and power of Mr. Polk in nis administer- ing the affairs of government. He has taken his position on the Oregon question—on the tarifi—and several other public measures, some of which have | given great umbrage to the financial and commer- j cial interests. A vast combination is forming at | this time in the large Atlantic cities, between the financial interests—the stock-jobbing cliques--the banking coteries—a combination between these and the discontented of the democratic party, which | will first be developed by an opposition and proba- | bly adefeat of Mr. Ritchie as publicprinter. The various old cliques of the democratic party, whose leaders were disappointed and chagrined that Mr. Polk, a new man, should be nominated and elected to the Presidency, and further, that he should bring in new men to assist him in administering the af- fairs of the government, have all joined to bring about this singular state of things, so menacing to the peace and quiet of his administration. And now availing themselves of these discontents in the de- mpcratic party, we see Mr. Webster, om the'part of the whigs and others, for stock-jobbing purposes, al! ombining to produce the result so much desired, and that is, the defeat of Mr. Polk and his adminis. tration, at the commencement of the session of Congress. The combination now forming between the whig opposition and the discontented democracy of the various cliques, resembles, very much, that combi- nation of influences which was formed in the years 1829-30, to control and put down the administration of General Jackson, and when a series of contests, and controversies, and internal difficulties were {o- mented and invigorated by the whig opposition, un- til there was a general appeal to the country, in 1832, when General Jackson’s policy and measures were supported and approved. ‘The same elements may be said to be now at work throughout the country, and are producinga combination to attack the ad- ministration of Mr. Polk, at the very threshhold of his course. The first attack will be made on Mr. Ritchie, who is Mr. Polk’s candidate for public printer. If that be successful, they will proceed fur- ther to destroy the whole influence and power of his administration for the next three years, and lay the foundation of a complete revolution in the poli- cy and political complexion of the government Such is the position of things now existing f moment, within two or three weeks of the opening of Congress. But the elements which we have only vaguely described, will be more matured and devel- oped in a few weeks, and we shall then be able to see more distinctly what the result of this singular contest willbe. There can be no doubt that Mr. Polk aad his administration, and all his friends must | ny errors in the church ef Rome—speculative— | tion and christian charity. | fanatics are too late in the day to impregnate.so- | ciety with their ridiculous fancies at the present | time. | tigation than that. | York, not over twenty or thirty make a handsome take bold, and open, and positive ground on all those public measures which will ultimately receive the approbation of the American people South, East and West. This is his only safeguard, and this,we perceive, he is about to teke. Tue Memrais Convertion.—Mr. Calhoun 1s on lis way to this important Convention of delegates trom all the Western, South-Western and Southern States, for the purpose of deliberating on measures of great public importance—railroads, the tariff, and soon. But it will have also a political bearing, and may exert great influence on the Proceedings of next Congress, The delegates will be in favor of ‘Texas annexation, and some expression of opinion may be made on the subject of Oregon, but what it will be we cannot tell. A counter convention of a different character is to be held at Hollidaysburgh, Pennsylvania, consist- ing of delegates from the Western, North-Western, Eustern and Middle States. This will be a high-ta- rif body, Both conventions are only indicative of public opinion, and the restlessness of public men on both sides More Favaricisa.—The Rev. Mr. Kirk, of Bos- | ton; has been endeavoring to light up the fires of per- | sec tion in a discourse delivered on last Sunday in this city, at Dr. Skinner's church, in Mercer street. In it he represented the Catholic religion in the most | revolting light, and its heads as murderers, adulter- | ers, and all that sort of thing. There is na doubt that inthe long course of ages, during the last fif- teen hundred years, the church of Rome, in the per- son of its priests and clergy, has been guilty of a great many enormities, and that crimes have been committed under the cloak of religion of such a cha- , racter as to disgrace even the dark ages of the | world. But the same may be said of every seet.— Even the patriarchs and prophets, if we go as far | back as the time of David, were guilty of as great | enormities as any ever committed by the Remish clergy. Nor have the Protestant clergy, nor those of any other church been without their crimes. Every sectof refigion in its infancy, when strug- gling to spread itselt throughout the world and to establish a reputation, adopts the severest code of morals, but when it has attained prosperity and pow- er, by means of connection with the State or other- wise, then the natural depravity of the human mind, even under clerical habiliménts, manifests i self. Look at the Greek clergy—the Cathohe | | elergy—the church of England clergy—they have | all been guilty of the same crime which Mr. Kirk would fasten exclusively on the clergy of | the church of Rome. There are, no doubt, mi moral—philosophical and religious. But that church | has tulfilled her mission during the last thousand | years, and no other ceurech could have maintained | its position during the dark ages, in the benighted | regions of Europe, butthe Catholic church, animat: | | ed by pure principles and spirited on by pure piety, | so as to prevent the whole ‘of Europe from falling under Mahomedanism. The Rev. Mr. Kirk, be he as learned as Aquinas, exhibits only the most shal- low and contempuble ignorauce,when he endeavors, in this enlightened"age, to bring up the errors and the enormities of the Catholic clergy of a past age as any objection, or of any crime to be charged against those innocent at the present time. The Church ot Rome in its day and generation, fulfilled the mis- sion of the Almighty, as much as the Protestant church, which is following out the same mission under the same influence, and by the same permis- sion. We have seen too much of this empty fanaticism —ot this intolerant religious persecution during the last few years in New York and throughout the coun- try, to tolerate it any longer; and the Rev. Mr. Kirk | ought to have more sense, and to have a mind slightly more accessible to the lessons of the times, than to indulge in such ignorance and folly. The H recent events in this city and in Philadelphia ought to teach Mr. Kirk, and all others like him, modera- | The enthusiasts end | Lecat. Rerorm.—One of the principal subjects | taken up at the approaching State Convention to amend the Constitution, will be that of legal reform. Perhaps no subject requires more searching inves- The excessive number of law- yerswhich crowd the bar, render it utterly impossi- ble that more than a very small proportion of the whole can make a decent living. Probably out of nearly two thousand, which crowd the bar of New | annual income. We suppose that about twenty or thirty more make a moderate income, and as many more just make both ends meet at the end of the year. But the great proportion are without em- ployment, or cases, or briefs, save that which they make themselves, and isthe produce of pettifogging ofthe meanest and most contemptible kind. There is a certain class of lawyers, mere petti- foggers, who do nothing but look over the news on whom some remarks may be made, discovering their residences, and then proceeding to their houses | evening. Panx Tueatre.—Last evening the Patk boxes pre- sented an array of beauty and fashion stich as We have Seldom seen there before this season. Old men, young men, philosophers, men of the world, poets, and last in category, though first in mind and eye, a galaxy of la. | dies, fair to look upon, whose eyes beamed with bright- ness and whose whole faces were radiant with pleasure, as they sat watching the progress of the play. Upon their appearance, the Keans were hailed with such a per- | sences of all other plaudits which ever shook those walls had been compressed and reserved for the present occa- sion. The Keans never looked better. Their Southern tour has been of great benefit to them in recruiting their health and spirits and preparing them for the winter cam| nae The play presented was Hamlet, the most original, singular, and to most minds incomprehensible emanation from the world-containing soul of Shakspeare. There Is probably no character in the whole range of pet ay or comedy which Mr. Kean has more closel studied than that of Hamlet, and we consider it more ad- mirably adapted to his peculiar powers than apy other. Hamlet's philosophical musings, his settled melancholy, his abrupt action and sudden bursts of tenderness and deep feeling, were all given with an effect rarely if ever witnessed on our stage. Hamlet has usually been con- sidered an incomprehensible character, a vagary of the imagination, a something which was not meant to be un- derstood,and pursuing this idea its personators have usu- ally studied to throw around it as much as possible of obscurity, and it has been veiled completely not only from the common mind, but even from the student and man of letters. This conception is an error. The great mind of Shakspeare never yet conceived or ex- ressed a thought which ‘is not fraught with leep meaning, and which, it enacted, may not be understood Mr. Kean has so studied Hamlet, and so be g audience. Truly it i It cannot be otherw: but still Mr. Kean de) e accomplished artiste in her profes- sion, we always find her true to nature, and excellent in scenes requiring pathos, and touches of deep ‘The evening closed with the laughable farce of the Tables.” The same excellence, though of a different kind than that which belongs to Mr Kean’s Hamlet, may be found in his Macbeth, which is to played this evening. We dwelt at length upon this performance, and pointed tail, its various merits. It is acknowledged by c broad, te be Mr. Kean’s most effective character, if, perhaps, we except his Hamlet. ‘The superstition, ir- resolution, and the casorn he passion of Macbeth, are, throughout the play, portrayed in a masterly manner; and the sth act, in which he is roused to fury, and exhi- bits a great display of physical energy and wild despair, is given with an effect truly appalling. Mrs, Kean's La- dy Macbeth is one of her finest performances; and at her last engagement delighted the critical, and drew down loud bursts of applause. The “ Stranger” is announced for Mrs. Kean’s benefit, and last appearance, to-morrow v On Thursday, Mr.and Mrs. Kean leave this city for Boston. We congratulate the patrons of the dra- ma, in that critical city, on the dramatic banquet that awaits,them. Bowrny Tuxatne.—Last evening, Mr. J. R. Scott ap- peared at the Bowery; in the character of Marc Antony in the tragedy of “Julius Cwsar.” It was one of the most powerful,,yet at the same time as chaste and clas- sic a performance as was ever witnessed on the boards of the Bowery. In addition to the beautiful personation of Mr. Scott, we must add a word of the stock company which supported him. It was perfectly adequate to the task. Mr. Davenport’s Brutus, and Mr. Clarke's Cassius were performances which promise of future brilliancy in these young actors. After the tragedy, the beautiful drama of the Enchanted Fountain,” in which the cele- brated Rivers family appeared, was played. This won- derful family, consisting of three brothers, performed some vf the most beautiful and surprising gymnastic feats we ever witnessed, and with such a perfect grace, quickness, and vivacity, as to carry the whole house with them. Their performances on the wrial cord, are most wonderful exhibitions of strength combined with elegance. Many of their feats are entirely original, and have never been attempted before. An evenin, spent in witnessing them will more than repay time and expense. The evening closed with the “Fou Slave,” in which Messrs. Cony and Blanchard, and the wonderful dog ap- eared. To-night the tragedy of “Julius Cesar” isto e repeated, bane? with the “Enchanted Fountain,” and the “Foulah Slave.” Mn. Hitw’s Concert, anp Lroroi» pe Mevei —If ever | concert deserved the name of festival, it was that of last night, for we have never seen a programme so rich and varied, containing so many gems of the greatest compo- | sers, and an array of executive talent, which seldom has been found together in New York. The orchestra num- bered a full hundred, and the chorus nearly three times the amount. They were magnificently drilled, and Mr. | Hill has shown that the arrangement of the whole could | | not have fallen into better hands. The overtures to yas 2 : | Guillaume Tell, and the Jubilee, were performed with a | papers, finding out some persons in the police reports | spirit and precision which elicited substantial applause | from the audience, as well as the chorus from Euranthe | and Mosé. Miss Northall has wonderfully improved and instigating them to commence suits against | since last year, e has a beautifully clear and sweet Rewspaper proprietors, without any ground, merely | Voice, set off through a method, with which many a for the sake of a few doilars, which they get from | ni ofestablished reputation would be satisfied. ‘The | | duett by the individuals they deceive, or the newspaper pro- | prietors whom they may intimidate. On many oc- | casions we know this has been done, without any | intention of pursuing such suits beyond the mere | commencement, but merely with the view of going to the newspaper proprietors and offering to “ settle” | it for eight or ten dollars. Others, again, offer their services gratuitously to miserable creatures who commence suits, without any adequa’e funds, for | the purpose of having their names in the newspapers, | and of being reported as counsel against certain edi- tors and newspaper proprietors who are well known in the community This is only one system of pet- tifogging that we happen to have had some expe- rience in, and which we have met on ali occasions promptly, by contesting to the uttermost all such pettifogging suits, so thet those miserable creatures and lawyers soon find that nothing is to be made out of us. If some provision could be introduced in the new Constitution to throw open the whole profession of the law to the public, and to prevent a monopoly of it to those who call themselves lawyers, many of whom know just as much about law as the man inthe moon, we think it would be of great advantage to society at large as constituted in this country. Mepicat Convention.—We perceive that a conven- tion of the medical men of Tennessee is to be held in Memphis in the course of a few days, forthe pur- pose of consulting on measures gonnected with the interests and prosperity of the profession. Delegates are also to be chosen to the Medical Convention in this State, Micmican Exection.—According to the returng received, Michigan has gone tor the democrats, but by a diminished majority. It is thought, and with some show of reason, that the issue which the whigs made in this election, the sale of the State improvements, had the most to do with the decreased democratic majority.

Alexander saw the astonishment of Smith, but taking little notice of it, he remarked, these were small mat- ters to what he could do; and taking gold coin from his pocket, and shutting his hand upon it, made a few “passes” over it with wards Smith at all, but remaining a distance of some four feet, told him it must be in his (Smith’s) vest poc! Smith unbuttoned his coat, and sure enough, he drew forth the coin. But this was too much—his breath came shorter—his nostrils dilated— exander, and then at Ole Bull, evidently not willing to believe his senses. Just at this moment, a boat was an- nounced as being in sight, end thinking his chance a slim one, with sucha rival as Alexander, he left '* by the firs boat,” to the great amusement of the spectators.

Shortly after, it was rumored that the Lady would not start ; at this, certain faces became very much elon; ; butt prearance of her owner on the ground shortly after, explained the \d the wherefore. Her ladyship was not in fix— ad shown such a disposition of temper in her trials | t to warrant her to be trusted ; and her owner not wishing her friends | and admirers to be greater loosers than they had been during the past season upon her, judged it prudent not er go at all, as she could not be depended upon.— hanged the feature of the gery © Moscow show- ed with hie fore legs in bandages, and by lifting first one leg and then the other, evidenced that he was suffering considerably from the cracks in his heels, which were evident.

The match was fora purse of $250, if the three named animals started ; $200 otherwise ; best three in five. Moscow came well uP. to the scratch as before men- tioned, and Dutchess looked first rate ; with Bill Whe- Jan behind her all was confidence. P. Hunt took his seat | behind Moscow. There were several attempts at a start | without effect; then Hiram Woodruff'took Hunt’s place. | This made a change in the betting—Moscow became the decided favorite at $110 to $100 upon him. ‘After some five or six attempts they went forth, Hiram showing infinite skill in the management of his animal. | Moscow took the lead at the bottom, the Dutchess broke | at the drawgate and ere she recoverd was a distance be- | hind.

We dropped in there yesterday, and found the rooms crowded with the elite and curious of ourcity. Beauty had come to | feast her eyes on luxurious and wonderful displays of art—but we fear the crowd were a little disappointed; for though there are a few rare and elegant things, the exhibition, upon the whole, is of rather an heglory gen d character. There are many useful and ornamental arti- cles, however, which deserve attention, The most magni- ficent and coftly thing we saw, is a large and baat f beautiful Chinese screen, of @ 1 #, said to be wort! upwards of $300.

At this moment, a farmer-looking man, with a high bell-crowned hat and rough over-coat, entered the esta- blishment. “Ab, Mr. Brown,” said the clergyman, ave you sold your butter ?” “Yes,” said the farmer, | nd at a good price.” This conversation was carried on so that the two flats could distinctly hear it The watch was now handed to the farmer, who bid another dollar.

'Now there are probably in the city five unli- coused junk shops where there 1s one which ia licensed. There is no doubt that those shops are, in many cases, | the mere receptacles of stolen goods, and we hope the law of license will be strictly enforced with regard to them.

Mr E. H. Buarcurorp, of this city, delivered an introductory discourse on the Colporteur system, in which he said that it was the creature of cireum- stance and owed its origin to the wants of those who were destitute of the means of grece. It is the systent by which the great plan of salvation has been made known to many. Mr.’ Blatchford said in the city of New York alone there are upwards of 190,000 souls destitute of the means of grace, and who had no places of worship provided for them, and the objects theColporteurs have in view is to suppl; those destitute souls with such means, although their labors_were not confined to this city but extend over every State and territory ot the Union. At present there were in 29 States and territories 125 Colportenrs in the employ of the American Tract Society. ‘The Colporteur system is not to be received as hostile to the stated reaching of the gospel; it is only auxiliary, and its ef- foxts peculiarly are directed towards those Roman Ca- thelica who have sought t ountry as an asylum from between whom and us there is a bar- Mr. Blatchford then went on nd charity an‘ less denuncia- the success of than it that our efforts would have been far great | denunciation does not soften the heart but it robs truth of half of its pow: an abomination the seal of baptisin by the priests a piece of iniquity, is not the way to convert bim, for the Catholic loves his Church, and ecuition has made him devoted to it, and he will not li: to the man who denounces it. 1tseems tohim that the Protestant church has erred in this respect, and the progress of the Romish Church in this country is owing in part to the violence end denunciation levelled against it. He ha many sermons on Rome, and, in most instanc pression left on his mind was, that if a Roman Catho- lic were present, and heard them, he would be more confirmed in bis errors, : 5 Mr Brarcuronp then related a dialogue which took plave between a German Colporteur named Ritty, in the employ of the American ‘lract Society, ant a Ger- man family of Catholics, whom he commenced with ina very mild manuer, and finally sueceeded in converting to the Protestant faitu, and detailed some of his expe- rience with the Catholics. ‘fhe German says, “ Iff be- gin talking against his church, the Catholic is like a He must be taken with love. Allthe books pub- lished sgainst the Vatholies bring.no fruit: hard speeches spoil agreat many. All fiery booxs must be kept away; but the distributiyn of such books us Baxter is pest; the New Testament is likewise a powerful book in the ser- vice.” it may be said that Rome is corrupt, and was de- 0 ogenly by the roformors, whose labors led with success, Bat Rome does not pre- sent the same front now that it éid im the reformation; 6 not present the same front now in any two coun- tries, and !taly elone is the place where it presents the front that it did in the deys of Luther. In attacking it, the front in which it presents itself is to be considered. ‘The system of Colporteur ia designed as a means of reaching the hearts of the Irish, those adherents of tho Church of Rome who cannot be gathered into our sanc- tuaries, but must be sought attor. Rev. Mr. Coox next addressed the audience and fur- ther defined the objects of tho system, which he said was twofold, the prosecuting of the work of Colporteur andthe suppression of immoral literature, in which there are but two churches at present engaged in, one of whom has said that the evil which flows from the pub- lishing of this literature is greater than Sabboth break- ing or intemperance. He asked the young men ef New York for their assistance in this movement. ‘The Rev. Mr. Krax then We at some Janet Ho dissented from Mr. Blatchford as tothe way in which the war against Rome was tobe carried on He con- tended that there should be no compromise. He was glad the subjoct had been brought up, for he, on Sunday ening, preached one of those denuaciatory sermons which Mr. B. alluded. He is in favor of attacking the very citadel of Rome itself, and would not sacrifice an iota of principle, let the consequence be as it may. If brother Blatchford had been talking all day with a parcel f J he could not have suited them better thi that wo are a talking people, and if they wish to step us they must provide a gag for cach of us. If I cannot st- tack Rome here, said Mr. K., 1 will go to Rome and there attack her. Tho constitution of the society was then submitted and adopted. After which, Dr. Tyng spoke at some length in th me strain as Wepre, Mr. Kirk. He was opposed to all compromise,and said that there were more Luthers needed to carry out the movement. pored there was to be any sacrifice of principle, by compromise, or flinching, he would not co operate wit them. He might be attacked by presses hired for the purpose; he might be vilified and abused, but he did not care for that. The names of mombers of the association were then collected, and the meeting adjourned. Arrest anv Imprisonment oF Mr. Rowiey— His iwsanrry—More Mysrery.—The Providence Gozelte of Saturday says:—We mentioned yesterday the arrest in this city ofa man by the name of Davis, who was suspected, on what grounds particularly wo could not ascertain, of being the person who had robbed Mr. Rowley of Wrentham, some weeks ago, on board the steamer Massachusetts. Measures had then been taken to have Mr. Rowley, who it was supposed, was in New York, stop in this city on his return home, thathe might indentify the prisoner, ifindeed he were the guilty man. In this state of things, Mr. Blake, of Wrentham, brother in law of Rowley, arrived here, last evening, and stated to the examining magistrate that Mr. Rowley was now in Jail in Boston.und to ail appearances a raving maniac. He had intended to leave Boston on Monday last for New York, and hed purchased a ticket for that purpose, when he was arrested on a writ issued against him on the com- plaint of some of his creditors, and immediately incarce- rated in jail In order to effect this, it became necessary for his creditors to swear that they had reason to su; pose he intended to leave the State, and this they could of course honestly do, after he had purchased a ticket for New York. Whether they suspected him of foul play, we have no other means of knowing than from the , facts here given ; but from these we judge that such must have been the case. Meantime Kowley has be- come, to allappearances, a maniac, and the anticipated identification of Davis is at an end for the present at ‘We understand that the e: ining magistrate dec: to release him, and presume that he is now at larg: ‘Lhe above paragtaph is sub: ally correct. dition to the particulars therein steted, we ha ed the following :—-On the Ist inst.

On Monday oon he was arrested by deputy sheriff Tarbell, at the suit of Henry Pettes & Co., for $1500, and in the evening committed to jail. On Wednesday, he being still in jail, threo more writs were served Spon. him, viz :—one in x of Davis, Palmer & Co., for $800; one in favor of Wim. K, Blanchard & Co., for $1200, and one in favor of Alfred A. Andrews & Co., for $900. If sane when arrested, he was observed to be otherwise soon afterward. The symptoms of mental aberration continued to increase up to Saturday evening, when his creditors accepted some of his friends for bail, ant released him from jail for the purpose of conveying re i é the insane hospital at Worcester.—Bosion d’ost, lov. 10.
