JO For City Intelligence see next Page The Cask or Mr. Reeside.?Our readers will have noticed in our last a statement that Mr. K.-esid,-, (the'Land Admiral) had obtained a ver .. et against the United State? for the round sum of $123 ?i'-'O, being the balance found due on a long series of intricate dealing! between him and the General Post Office. Tire statement ?f this fact is a most pungent commentary on the character und financial manage ment of the General Post Office under the two last Administrations. Mr. Reeside was a favorite and verv heavy contractor for the transportation of the Mails, ansl in lime became an Agent of the Depart? ment in the negotiation of loan'., extensions, &c.? one ol the several brokers that the w retched mis managt raenr, prodigality and incapacity of the Pestmaati r Genera] rendered r.ece?sary. Accord? ing ? be borrowed) and lent, and shinned, and procured shaves, until, in the state of chaos in v. im.ii ti.e Government accounts were kept, thete was no telling which party was in debt to the other. Mr. Kendall left i"i the books, as part ot the assets of the Department, n claim anuiri-i Mr. Reeside of some $33 000. Mr. Granger attempted to r< alite this sri'ig sum ; when lo ! he was met by n counter-claim for over $300,000 ! As there was no coming at the matter amicably, Mr. Granger 8'i?<i fur ile- < lOyernment'sdemand, and tbe case has been before ibe U. S. District Court and a Jury foi the last three weeks. The result i.? a verdict foi Reesidc of over Out Hundred and Eighty-eight Thousand Dollar?! which the Department must pay; and after all, it is said Mr. Lleeside will he a Jiea-.y loser by the business he did for the Govern? ment. Similar to ilii? was thu verdict in the ca?< ?rf the I'. States ?vs. Samuel L. Gouverneur, Gen Jackson's Postmaster in this City. These debts nrid thousands like them the present Administra? tion are obliged to pay; whereupon I.oco-Focoistn ? i es 0 ,t that the Whig* are ixf'irrine a National Deb'!

Schoolcraft, Esq. before a very numerous and gratified audience. The Lec? turer, from the indistinct and unsatisfactory knowl? edge ?which hits as yet rewarded the study and re? searches of the curious into the origin und early history of the American Indians, preferred le take a rather general view of them through their natural ? baractefistics than to draw un\ one line of ob? servation which would necessarily lead to in? quiries for which the dnta we ut present posse. are uisufficiehc. Tho Indian, be said, was a scholar of nature; evety bird of the mr tint! every quadru? ped hud for him 11 voice of admonition. Of that school nrn the tule? und instructions of his youth and tiny arc but forcibly confirmed its he advances in experience. Hi-j impulses 11 ml passions and virtues due strong and energetic. His hospitality is proverbial?11 ir> aflections for his friends and family warm and devoted, and he laments ihcm when dead with n sober endurance and manly for ?tude. His war-path is not sought through a thirst for blood, ami if, in his reasoning the infer? ences air wrong, it is because his premises are er? roneous. Voltaire considered the American Indian as one of the seven independent races. Jefferson's belie!' was ilial In- was indigenous; thus easily disposing of the question ?t migration; while Franklin, whose iniiid was active in universal inquiry, avoid? ed any decided opinion on this interesting question. Thu Lecturer bete drew a progressive picture ot the state of society in the Bast in the curlier ages. Basing his own opinions upon the deductions of Christian Philosophy) mil 'be fact that nothing is easiet than national decline, bo observed that the barbariry of the old world "us the parent of bar? barity in the newt thus acquiescing in the doctrine of migration. Although ihe mannet of their com? ing to this continent is not vet known, their cus? toms and usnpes when found bore m 1493 satisfac? torily proved them to have emigrated from the East. They recognized no law of government but that of retaliation?the strong, were the rulem of ike weak. Columbus called them Indians, fully believing tin ir stnte, manners, nnd mode of life to be sufficient proof? of their Asiastic origin. In this belief ha live), and iu tots belief, ns Irving says, be died. The recent researches of Cuss, Gallatin, Dupon ceau, Pickering und others have placed these in? quiries on liighoi grounds, and given to those proof* the analogy of grammatical concord, and the con? struction and adaptation of word* to masts*: und motion ; w bib: so unchanged was the Indian charnr tcr, that if Csslumbus should see them now, be would rind them the same in all their habitudes and passion* as when Ferdinand and Isubella sat upon the throne of Spain. Indeed, any departure from this rule of custc was deemed degrading ; anil thus are we enabled to account for their continued op? position to agriculture, letter* and the laws of civilisation: und as was Brandt amid tho ruins ol Wyoming, so. in policy, purpose and nature, were Tecumseh, Black Hawk and dsceola. Consistency is a prevailing and enduring charac? teristic of the Indian, and on this, with its as?o ciaie disregard of dangers, depend* much of the poetical glory which dwells around the Indian's life. Tin' Lecturer then drew a very interesting and spirited picture, corroborative of those rvmirks, of the public career of the futnous chieftain Pontiac, who si> distinguished himself in the Canadian wars between the French und F.nghsh during the reign of George II.. fully sustaining their consistency through all hazards und ingenuities to attain his purposes, t<> the period of his ttagic death. In conclusion, Mr. Schoolcraft re-marked on the fre? quently proposed question?Can the Indian be civilized'?and was of opinion that, as in tho analog.eil case of Prince Lee Bihi in England, if sucii can !?<? effected, it must be ttirough 'he agencv et religion ns revealed and laid down in the sacrvd Sei iptures. Message of the Governor of Vnunvtk.? W* mentioned in our Postscript yesterday tbe niretinr; and organisation of rite Legislature ot Virginia, and the reading of the Message ot Col. John Rutherford, acting Governor, which we find in the Richmond paper* of the 7th. It is very moderate in iu tone, takes decided ground upon few of the questions discussed, and is on the whole a weak and unsatisfactory document. We give l*eiow a summary of its principal points. After alluding in an appropriate manner to t::e death of President Harrison, it alludes to the Snaa ces of the Commonw ealth, which are said to be ir ?sour.d condition.' The State is indebted :o the Richmond Banks in the surn of $345,01 0, p tyal le on the I? h day of this moMlh. The Gte.err.-,r re? commends the imposition of a tax to meet the ex? penses of the Governrnt-nt. insteed of resorting, as heretofore, to ;oans. He justifies the suspension j of specie payments last winter, hones that a imp tion may soon be effected, but is for giving the Banks one mote day of grace, which is to bo 1 pos? itively the last.' The old Bank of the United States is kicked at, and the rreition of a new one pro'iounced inexpedient ar.d unconstitutional. The present condition of the Militia of the State is pronounced lo be almost useless, and the oalline of a plan for their more efficient organization and discipline is sketched. In this connection the Military Institute at Lexington is r-'comrr.er.ded to legislative favor. The necessity of elevating the character of the Common Schools of the State is urged, for which an increase of the School Furta is declared indis? pensable. Instead of effecting this by resorting to tire Stale Treasury or by a specific tax. ins ? . ? mends that the several Counties be authorized, with the consent of the People, to raise j ?? ? ? s.trv sum. He asks aid a!?o for the Colleges Academies and Medical School of the State. With regard to the Internal Improvements ? : the State, although not very decided, he thinks that the most importuni wotks should be speedily completed, and the rest stopped. He advises the Legislature tu muke ns appropriation ot Use Dis? tribution Moneys, 'ince " calculations based upon tb<- continuance of the law miy prove delusive.""' A Board of Agriculture bus l?-en established. The conduct of certain ' fanatics ' in venturing to send petitions to Congress foi the abolition of Slaver) in the District of Columbia is denounced with great fervor. The following is the passage relatinc to r 11 difficulties between this State and Virginia. It is mote moderate than we were led to expect ? I regret that nothing has transpired since the lasi session ol the Legislature to encourage the be lief that the unpleasant controvei sy so ,ot,^ dope:,,; ing between this State and the Staf of New-Yoi will be satisfactorily adjusted 1 submit herewith the correspondence between tho Executive autho? rities of the two States, not heretofore comrauni a ted. It will display, it is believed, en toe part ol the Executive of this Commonwealth, an anxious ih-sire to maintain unimpaired the most friend \ itlutiotis with a Statu to which we have ever been bound by the ties of affection and interest. H ith ii devoted loyalty to the Union, we have manifest? ed patience, forbearance and courtesy, earnestly hoping if possible to obviate the necessity of resort? ing to liny measure of defence. Our just claim upon that Slate, under the solemn covenant of the Constitution, and our reiterated appeals to her rea? son Htid justice have us yet been unavailing. The course of her Executive 1ms l.een fully sustained by her Legislature, and ander circumstances whi< h nggravMie the injuries we have received. I sincerely trust it may yel be possible for other councils to prevail, and that n returning sense ol justice will result in tho recognition ul uui rights ! und tbe perpetuation of that harmony, which, il nut actually intenuptesl, is at least most seriously j threatened. Under present circumstances, the Common wealth owes it to herself to devise an I execute firmly proper measures to guard the right and property of her citizens. If, in the discharge of this duty, imposed by the most solemn considers lions, unkind feelings er unpleasant collisions should unhappily arise, the responsibility must rest with those who have left us no alternutive. A due re? gard for the peace of the Union, and an anxious desire to remove ns fur us practicable, all cause ul irritation, will no doubt dictate a resort to measures purely protective. With this view the inspection law of the lust legislature was adopted; and tbe remote period lo which its execution wits deferred, affords conclusive evidence of the patience and for? bearance of Virginia. As, however, the first day of May next is the prescribed time when its pro? vision* will become operative, unless the course ot New York shell in the menu time render it unne? cessary, 1 respectfully recommend its careful revi? sion, and the adopiioti of such additional enact? ments u.s your wisdom may ?uggost, more effectu? ally to itcconiphsh its objects. Ttie correspond? ence herewith submitted, so fully explains the j views and course of the Executive Authorities ol : the two States, that 1 forbear further reference to tho subject. Repudiation.?A Mississippi paper states that Mr. Gwin, one of the newly elected anti-boi members of Congress, w as indebted 10 the Union Bunk of Mississippi upward of $500,000, ull of which, except a small sum paid in depreciated pa- ' per, remains unpaid.

The Niger Etpedttion, from the time of quitting ! England to the 20;h August, has lost only three j men out of the 300 comparing it. According to ai other statement nice have died, but tuts seems to be erroneous. Two extensive lace manufactories, the one in Chesterfi-id. the other in Biampton, have ceased working; This is tobe attributed to the large stocks and the difficnlty in making sales.

The Duke of Wellington has given directions for ' 'he re-furni-hwg of the principal apartments at Strathfiel isaye, and it is said that her Majesty and Prince A!h?-rt will honor the noble Duke with a visit eariy in the Spting. The Birmingham manufacturers arc now receiving some- large orders from the t. sited States. 1 hese orders had been suspended while the McLeod affair was ponding, but were issued after the irtal had concluded. The calamitous fire at the lower will also give employment to a considerable num-! ber of hands in the gun trade. Upon the whole,' tin ! respects of the Birmingham artisans for the winter are more cheering than cou.d have been anticipated a short time since. The Paris papers state that Kin^ Louis Philippe has sent an autograph i> tter to yueen Victoria, congratulating her Majesty on the birth of the young Prince. The waters in the different parks in London were covered with ic<*, and there was a strong in di ration ol a severe winter.

The pre-vtit British Government have deter? mined to send reinforcements to China. Major General Lord Saltoun is to leave Et gland in a few weeks, with an effective force of 1 500 men. He is to be second in command to Sir Hush Gough. He .- an eminent otlicer, having distinguished him? self in Sir Join Moore s celebrated campaign, and : afterwards at Quatre Bia* and Waterloo. We learn that Mr. Everett, the American Min? ister to England, on receiving information ef his appointment, which reached him ai Napie?. set out for London, by way of Rome and Marseilles, and tiad arrived, with his family, in Paris. He would leave Paris for London on the liith. A very brilliant ball and concert were given at Guildhall on the evening of the 17th. under the patronage of the Common Council, for the relief of the exiles from Poland. As many as 1,500 or l.'iOO persons were present. On the evening of .November 3d there was a re? markable slide of earth on the Croydon Railway, at the deep cutting at the New Cross station near London. The cutting at that place was "0 feet deep, and by this slide the track was fiiied up to a depth of 8 to 1? feet for a distance of 800 yards. A large number of men, as many as could work? not leas than 160?with four locomotive engines, were employed day and nijrht in removing tne ob? struction. Up to the I3lti a passage had betsn ?per ed nearly three quarters of the way. The last train from Brighton for the night had just passed up bet?re the slide took place.

The Slave Trade.?The following is an ex? tract of a letter from an officer on board the British Government ship Acorn, dated "St. HCLEAA, Ssptenitier s. 1841. ' " On our passage here from Rio Janeiro, when j nb,mt half-way across, a sail was reported one j morning at daylight, and chase whs immediately | given, the stranger also making sail, and putting before the wind, which looked very suspicious. At about S o'clock we had neate I htm considerably, and tired a blank c;uri and hoisted our colors. No nti-wer.

[CP A Mississippi Whig paper, we perceive, re- ; commends that every M s-:?:ppian. wh<? designs to travel, shall, if entitled to it. take with him a . satisfactory certificate of his not having voted, at 'tie iate election, for the repudiation of the Staie Bonds. The recommendation is a very timeiy one. A tavern-keeper, in Kentucky, or in any user State, would as soon trust a convicted swia- ? dier tor a night's lodging and a breakfast, as a ? Mississippi Ami-Bond payer. [Louisville Jour. Lost.?A gmtiemsn on his way to make a de? posit in one of the banks, lost $1.700 in bank uotes and a check tor $ 1.000. [N- 0.

To tin Editor of the Tnkunt: A correspondent of the Kvening Tost, who signs himself " An Old Merchant," and who treats upon the subject of Kv.ehanf'es m his own vnvarnisbed way, of course, seems to be entirely ignorant erun of this " simple subject," as he, in a careless get eul-of the-way manner, deigns to call it. He be? gins with: "Few subjects are less understood, none more simple, than the subject of exchanges." And he seems to treat it in a manner and in lan? guage approximate to his estimate of tite responsi? bility of the subject.. Now, as to the subject of ex? changes being a simple one, I shall not nt'smpt to deny : but as to the eorresponder.t in question be? ing acquainted with this simple subject I very much doubt; or, if ae is acquainted with it. he has taken particular care to conceal it entirely in his communication, and rvnders it, instead, a complete chaos, us f ir as common .sensu and common reason rItCtOt?

Howies answ.-: that he held himself at all times responsible f r all that he said on the floor. The Other told him that if he would say a* much out >d' the House he would cha-ti-e him.
