News expectei>.?Two snipe, supposed to be from ;
Lit?rpool or Havre, were below last night when our
paper went to press.
Late from Spain.?The sehr Russian arrived last
evening front Cadiz, having sailed to the 24th Nov. The
civil war in ^pain still rages as usual. Particulars tomorrow.
1?_T The Corporation met last night, but would
consent to no arrangement on the appointment of Police
Justices. The Caucus did not agree. Two of the
Justices now hold over, and probably will do so till
aext March.
The News.?War seems to be tne word at present.
The aceounts from Florida are beligerent?from Texas
the same?from France the same?from .Mexico the
same. Yet with all these demonstrations, ro man will |
candidIv say be has any fears of a rupture. From I
Flondu. the Seminole Indians will soon be driven awav I
?the Texiaus have succeeded in clearing their country
without the aid of Capt Stanley and his Falstaff's
men?and Mexico will take care how she provokes the
United States.
Bosrox Notions.?Santnel T. Armsrtong, the new
Mayor of Boston, in his address to the city government I
on Monday, uses the following language in reference to
our recent calamity :?
The great calamity which has so recently afflicted
the city of New York is calculated to alarm our fears, i
as well as to excite our sympathy. While we commiserate
the sufferings necessarily incident upon the accur- ,
rence of such an event, we extend to our fellow citizens |
of that metropolis the hand of friendship and brotherly
kindness, with thp a?- trance that the substantialities if \
brstkerkood shall not tie wanting on our part, if know*
to be acceptable to them.
So far, so well. Now let us have the " substantialities
of brotherhood" for the widows and crphaas as
aoon as possible, in the shape of a few thousands.
Litigation.?The Grand Jury ofl'hilaiielphia blame
the small magistrates, justices, inc., for encouraging a
spirit of litigation among the poor mec Itanics. merelv

More Patriots Wasted.?A public meeting has
been held in Charleston. S. C., for the purpose of raising
volunteers to go anil fight the Indians in Florida.
How much laud is each soldier to have?
S*irh40> Request.?A Hoax.?The President,
sometime si owe, presented to Congress a Special Message.
accompanied with a correspondence from Mr.
Vail, the American Cfuirgt d?Affaires m London, eiving
the information that an English gentleman by the
name of James Smitbson, had left a legacy of four
millions of dollars, for founding a college at Washington
City.
We have every reason to believe that the whole story
is a hoax passed otf on the credulity of Mr. Vail.?
There is no such name or title in the peerage of England
as the following copy of the will talks of:?
"I, James ^mithson. son of Hugh, first Duke of
Northumberland, and Elizabeth, heiress of the Hungerfords
of Audley, and mece of Charles the Proud, Duke

EXPRESS FROM ALBANY.
We have strain boat (he Courier ai.J Enquirer and
all (he sixpenny paper?. Our expr??s last evening
brought u?, in advance ol' the mail, GOVERNOR
MARCY'S MESSAGE to the Legislature. delivered
yesterday at noou. It is un abie, cainiiJ a?d plain document?just
resembling the u-an who wrote it. We
are indebted for a copy to the Albany Microscope, our
of the principal organ* Of honest public opinion in the
late capital. We sLall now breathe a white.
GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.
Gentlemen of the Semite,
and of the House of Representative*?
You are deputed by the aufiiages of the free and enlightened
people ot our great State, us their representatives
in tiro branches of their Legislature. You hi vr
assembled to deliberate upoa such matters, and to j?u-such
laws as the exigency of the tin.es require, and the
wants of your constituents demand. It is a consolation
to me to know that such an unprecedented harmony
existed among the people at the recent election, ami
that such a large number of the steadfast friends of the
Democratic party, are among the wise legislators ol
the State. Therefore I cannot but hope, that undei
the sanction of Divine Providence, your deliberations
will always be directed to the happiness and welfare
of the people, especially that portion who compose tlis
republican phalaux.
In a review of the occurences of the past year, no
tning mat n.is transpire.1 will require any particular
actio.). All of our public institutions are in the inosl
prosperous and flourishing condition? particularly the
State College* at Auburn and Sinir Sing. The graduate*
of those institutions have net, however, been -is
nuuierous as they were for n few previous years, owing
to my refusal to admit all the utmUnU whose credentials
entitled them to admission. Several io-nncesol
this nature have occurred; hut the most conspicuous
was that of young (.IXI>ER1H INK, -on of the Rigiu
Reverend Bishop Oiulerdcun of the Episcopal Church
of this State. As there ha- been considerable excitement
in the public inind, and a* 1 have l>eeu most unjustly
censured by some of the papers in New Yurk
lor not permitting this young gentleman of the i*o?t respectable
and wealthy connexions to participate in the
counties of the State as dispensed at Sing Ship, I must
take this early occasion of communh uting to vou my
reasvms for preventing him from entering that College.
In the establishment and endowment of all our public
institutions of a literary or mechanical nature, the policy
of tiie state has invariably been directed to the improvement
of the morals, and the literary and meckatica!
advancement of tiie middling and lortr or.vers ol
society?especially the sons of such indigent parent?
whose resources will not admit of finishing th.ir education
in a style comporting wiih the description ol
those institutions.
It is to these classes of society that the bounties and
munificence of the state tire esj acially directed; nnri
those alone are intended 10 be solely bene tilted by ilr
benevolence. Tbe children of affluent parents do noi
come under the cognizance i f (hose laws; they nre
usually educated at private excuse ; and prepared for
the more elevated wniks >u society. Tlieir education
is altogether literary; whereas the gymnasium exercises
which the students of Sing Sing and Vuburu are
compelled to undereo. are of a nature too irksome and
fatiguing for the employment of hands and limbs unused
to mechanical science or bodily exertion. Besides,
it was represented to me th >t the young gentleman
preferred a midshipman'* bertii on board a United
States man of war, as being more in consonance with
his feelings. Under these circumstances, and seveial
others of n more trivial nature, 1 was induced to prohibit
hixi from entering the States College at Sing Sing.
The great question cf liberating the Slaves of the
South, has become the most interesting topic now on
the tapis of discussion. A set of deluded fanatics of
r? .v.., I--. ??.i-_ 1
muscle to bring the Southern States into a Kate of rehellion
front the general confederacy. And r-ofar have
they carried their act* of desperation, tljar i have become
necessarily involved in the contn't. The Governor
of Alabama lias demanded lite arrest and imprisonment
of a citizen of this stale, for sending those incendiary
publications among the people*of that state.
H it as the person in question has never been in the
State of Alabama, h .-rrtninly could not tin from it:
and if lie has tied from that state, there is nothing in the
United States Constitution which compel? or authorises
me to cuufonn with the requisitions Of his South?m
Excellency, Governor Gaylc. Mv answer to his
Excellency is among the m company ing document' of
his Message, and hy a referenee to which you will lie
nnhled to ascertain mv views more at large.
I have the pleasure to announce to you, that through
lie direct influence of vonr constituents, the people, it
s derided that an additional current of money will flow
lirectly into the treasury, by the application of the
luct'on and suit duties toward- the support (if governnent.
and their consequent restoration to the general
und. where we may employ them for the interests of
he people, especially such portions of there, who earn
he " Spoils of Victory." The effect which the transfer
if these duties will have upon the general prosperity of
he state, will he perceived from the rpport of the Coinproller.
But of all tlie embarrassing subjects which will lie
'rciight before yon for your honest, candid and imparml
investigation, will be the propriety or policy of
hartering any more banking institutions. It is a quesion
that will reqiffVe your utmost fortitude and most
kilfel penetration; too will he called u|x>u from every
tarter of the stnlc to rmn! ihr neorde lanlc n?.t In

rcent necessities ef the rim?* will ndmit. the trentem
notion must l>e observed that thi charter be granted, the
ontroi of which can bv my contingency, fall into the
irxi* of our political enemies. In mv last annual
Ie?sape. I lield out fb? idea, that the ?tat? possessed
touch banking capita! as the ^nfrtv Fund could fairly
ontroi; and the jtvimaiions which I then gave, were
ioeelv followed by the Hank Commissioner*, who adised
the legislature to pause before they incorporated
nv more banks - urging as a reason, that the Safetv

stockholder, I feel persuuJed the cry of ntono|?oly would

mercantile or tnechunicul operations. .'Many of the
ifristern state* have adopted this principle, and the little
state of Rhode, which scarcely covers an urea of ground,
! equal to some of our western counties, boasts of her '
sixty bunks, all in the most healthy condition. As this
is a new view of the subject. 1 hope you will carefully
! weigh it in your own minds, and reflect whether we
I cannot safelv adopt the principle which I have stated.

1 As many of our citizens are unaccountably embarrassed
for pluces where their " surplus capital" mnv he
profitably und securely invested?I would suggest
whether it would not "he advisable to grant a liberal
unmiier of charters for cauals, rail roads, bridges and
turnpikes. Capitalists would then find atnple employment
for their funds; and i venture the assertion, that
liefore another twelve month, we should hear nobody
tiHioiring, " What tthall wc do with all the ?perie f
During tn? last fall. Bartow, the cashier of the Com
.niercial Bank, left this city, carrying with liiui 127,000
Lf the funds of the hank, and has not since been heard
of. I should not have cated much for these losses if
thev had fallen on federalists and anti-masons, hut unfortunately,
some of our jiolitical friends are the sufferers.
I don't waut, if I can help it, to sav any thing
of Mr. Kfmble of Troy?he's a friend. 1 here can be
no doubt but Bartow was corrupted by the Wall street
brokers. I have had my eve on the movements of
these gentlemen for some time, and I think it is now
( time to overhaul their doings. Our friends have located
in Wall street several discreet men from Cayuga
| and Ontario as agents, but as yet the brokers look
l;miii them as Johnny Raws. I recommend legislation
- oil the Board of Brokers, the appointment of three per i
. sons like the Safety Fund Commissioners, with power
to get a good living out of these gentlemen, unu keep
, | them straight, at one and the same time.
The difficulties which were experienced during the
| last session, in relation to a loan of the credit of the !
1 State, to the New York and Erie Rail Road Company,
will probably lie revived in the early part of the present
session. It was not thought advisable, then, to
i accede to the wishes of the petitioners, and 1 an- ill
iii uuui'i micuici ??o .'iii'niu jumiiiuihc in
a large sum of money to a company whose tum-actions
are all controlled by our inveterate political en mies.
Were a plan devised which would give the
State a balance of power, in conducting the operations
of the Company, I think we might with safety
contribute a few millions. But until such a measure
| { shall have been effected, 1 feel fully persuaded, that
our friends on the "Southern tier,'' will see with
me. the impropriety of placiug such an immense
amount of money at the disposal of a set of men, who '
seek every opportunity to frustrate us, in the correct
administration of the government. It is hoped our
j friends of the " Southern tier," w ill readily estimate
the friendship which their enemies affect for theur, I
j and not suffer themselves to be duped ut the next '
, election, by any pretensions whatever. As the next
general election will lie one of the greatest interest
that we have experienced for many years, I cannot but
hope that our friends in the " sequestered" part of the
p [ State, will remain firm to the democratic faith.
, You may expect numerous petitions from the citi,
i zens of New York, wliose property was destroyed by
p ' ihe lute unprecedented conflagration, for assistance :
' from the State, in enabling the insurance offices to meet
their losses. It was my first impression,that the StHte j
| | ought not to gratify their wishes, ns a large majority |
j of those merchants are the identical individuals who
railed so vociferously against my ' .Mortgage." But
, ! upon mature reflection, I have arrived at the conclusion
that we had better extend the credit of the State,
, : to the extent of a couple of millions to certain of
those offices whose capita! and transactions are wielded
by our friends. Bv such an operation, we should j
assist each other, and still give our enemies no just |
cause for censure or reproach. It will, however, re i
main with von to say whether auv aid should be afforded,
since it has been ascertained, that the insurance
i stockholders are personally responsible.
Gentlemen?I should co injustice to my feelings i
were 1 to close this Message without adverting to i
I the present condition and future prospects of the re- [
publican partv, both in the state and nation. We are I
indebted to the people, to an araouut far beyond our
capacity ever to cancel, for their firmness and pattiot;
ism in sustaining those illustrious men whose energy,
courage, and perseverance have preserved the Union
; from dissolution, and stayed the arm .of despotism
| already raised for our destruclion. I.et us endeavor,
by the popularity of our acts, and by the honesty of
ail oar public transactions, to retain the confidence
which the people?the worthy democratic people? j
now repose in us. We are at present elevated upon !
the very pinnacle of political fortune mid fame?a
beacon for every other State in the Union, and an ?xample
for the great American democratic family, to
imitate. And in order to place US all firmly in power |
for eight years to come, it is necessary to achieve the
next Presidential victory. A prize so valuable??o im|Hirtant?so
essential to the interests of the country I
anil our partv, is enough to arm every one of us wiili a
nanoplv of brass. When the great contest arrives !
next year, let no man falter. but march bravely to the
field of df?perntc contest, with hearts like the lion, and
i courage like the unsubdued warrior. And when the
I nudity storm shall have subsided, and tire elements
become hushed in their wonted serenity, let us enjoy
the victory in silence, and repose upon our arms whilst
revelling with the - ijjioils" of victory.

Washington, January 4,1636.
The President, it seems, has determined t" say nothing
more upon the French question, until he announces
the payment ot' the Indemnity, or propose*
lion-intercourse and reprisals. He will not condescend
te notice, by special message, the proffered mediation of
England. There is no inore room for mediation than
mr uegociaiion. mere .s nothing in doubt or dispute
between the two government*, for France has acknowledged
the deht and promised to pay the money. I
lu>|>e Old Hickory will hold them to (heir Ixmd, and
make them pay it in cash, uot flummery. But, if the
French should make war upon us, and, in the language
of one of their fiery orators?" teach the United States
that other nations, as well ns England, know the road
to Washington,"I don't think it would do the country
much hurt, if they would blow up this talking,
idling, trifling, factious Congress, sky-high. Only
think of a set of fellows who talk a whole day, as they
did to-day, upon the question whether they should discuss
a certain |>etition to-day or to-morrow I wish
the French had them all. The people would save the
money paid for their per diem, and get along just as
well without them. When thev are set down at the
President's house, they will find there the biggest
cheese that ever was made in the world. They will,
no doubt, carry it ami Editor Blair ofi*, as their tpoiia
opima, to Paris. What a figure Blair would make
there, as hostage for the better liehnvior of the Kitciien
advisers of the Presidcut. But, perhaps, the French
may like Welsh rarebits, and order the cooks of the
kitchen to toast the cheese by the fire of the President's
house.

From the testimony, which was rather indistinct, we

Mr. Hatch received it, but pave no receipt. Wlnle in

of Mr. Hatch's request for the plaintiff to
leave tlte premises, and his refusal to do so. I luring the
course of the altercation, Mr. Hutch came around the
counter, and either dropped or threw the money on the
floor, and that Meeks picked it up, and took it away
with him. This was part of the defendant's testimony.
On the part of the plaintiff, it was proved by two witnesses,
that the money was paid and accepted?that
high words did arise, but that no money was either dropped
or thrown on llic floor, and taken by Meeks.?This
was proved to the satisfaction of the jury, who after a
few minutes deliberation, returned n verdict for the

The Mocking Biki>.?The sweetest of American
songsters, the rival of the nightingale of iltcObi World
?the mocking bird?was in full song, a ad wooing its
mate; and sweeter inelody than that which filled the
ear during the short southern twilight, and beguiled
the hours of darkness, whs surely never heard under
the stars. I have often listened to that song elsewhere
in the deep woods of the north ami west; but, whether
it was in season, or the union of circumstances and
thought which attuned my own femj>eraud inind to the
harmony,?I think I never heard that inexplicably varied
song poured forth with such etfect as amid the
sweet-scented dews of Darien. The air was filled with
its vibrations hour after hour; and every quality?
power, clearness and melodv?seemed united and perfected
in the quiet efforts of that sweet-throated bird.
Their numbers were greater than I had ever witnessed
elsewhere. If you be in the star light upon I lie rivPr

there was no danger of your leaving the melodv behind
There was a secluded dip on the shore full of palmetto,
and low bushes, into which you descended by a
winding foot path between rocky sandstone banks. A
couple of canoes were moored within its shelter and at
the fool of the sandstone rock w here an aged tree slanted
acro?s it, a fresh spring swelled out, and ran its short
bubbling course to the river. Here it was delicious to
linger in the darkness, and listen to the melody in the
branches above vou. And again, between this jm nil

verge of a lawn like piece of level sward, extending
from the step high hank of the Blatamls- -ome die
