They are determined to get rid of the locofoco young men's committee. It is curious and amusing to see the Safety Fund folks, bwth here and in Albany, who. a year or t ,vo ago, were so bitterly opposed to N. P. Tarllmadge, and all theTallmadge*, now trying to save themselves by hanging upon their skirts. The letter to which wc formerly alluded is something in the fol lowing strain : Hon Nathaniel P. Tallmadoe, Sir ? We, the undersigned members sf the old ic publican parly, and gome of us owners of bank stock, having became convinced, during the Ium six months, that our experiments on the currency have been Mtiful aitJ wicked, and that for the sake ol getting locofoco votes, we have been endorsing opinions that we never really entertained, have come to the determination to meet the devil face to face, and to throw o^i all the ! locofoco* as nuisances und impracticable radicals and j agrarians. " Our sufferings in intolerable." We con fess our Sims and repent in sackcloth and ashes. We lt ave nut dow n a good currency furnished by a Na- | t tonal Rank, and put up a mere paper currency thrown out by the Safety Fund system. Although wc do not wish that the community should know these to be I our real sentiments, because we might be laughed at for our foll/j yet they are not the less true. Our friends at ?4b".ny have come to the same of :nit.n, and unless something is done to check the prevalence wflocofoco isrn here and at Washington, we must all go to , the devil together. It is our firm belief that a judicious credit system is the only salvation of the country. We are all in favor of a new na tional bank, and would come out for it, but deem it prudent for the present merely to put our fore fingers to our several noses, which signal will be readily understood by you. If wc can show to Mr. Van Buren the tenth of the old republican party at this time, it is possible he may recommcnd some ju dicious credit system in his next message. All the honest and prac tical wings are with us, and will join us at the next election, if necessary. Your views ire exactly ours on thecuriency, and we cheerfully aban don nil our former notions about the soundness of a state bank system. God knows we have had enough of experimenis, and if we could get back where we siarted froi.r, in 1828, we would sooner cut our hands ott than encourage tinkering the currency again. May Heaven forgive us our sins, as we forgive them that sin against us. We remain, &.c. &c. r S. Some of us have lost the shavings af two years in luiemonth, Oh ! is the real meaning, though not the exact language of the democratic letter now in circulation for signatures. Several hundred men, every one a democrat dyed in the wool, have already signed it. We learn that the following highly respectable demo- i crats are cither at the head or the tail of the list at- | tadied to the original letter : ? Preserved Fish, Peter Thompson, And five hundred others. We give these gentlemen much credit for their mo ral tirnin ss. Now is the time to take a nsble stand as men of sense. We are in favor of a national batik, as muc -i as they are, for the better regulation of the currency, but an a matter of policy we will like ihem, put our finger on our nsse also, and bide our time. We must have a revolution in New York politics, and we will jain any party, and any set of men to accom plish tc No mistake in us. Strange events are com ing? strangs unions forming ? and unless Mr. Vnn Buren lakes care, he will be left in a minority in New York before six months shall have elapsed. The safety fusd bubble is drawing to its latter end. New Yobk, 4th Jul. , 1837. Saul Alley, Robert White, George Griswold, James Connor, David Bryson, George D.

In all cities, towns anil Ailloge* there ex ists a tribe of idlers and loungers who ninke make it their business to frequent the doors of hotels, 1 ?u>res, taverns, shops, &c., fur (he purpose of gaz ng at the pretty and interest mg females as they pass, and I making observations upon them. Of late this odious and uagentlemanly practice has become so general and ao extensive, that it is time to stop it. What can the perpetrators of this unworthy employment pro mise to themselves! The indulgence of an insutf-r able vanity, the love of scandal, and the wicked plei aure of insulting poor defenceless woman. What must be ihe character of these worthless fel lows? Tho English language does not furnish terms sufficiently severe to portray in proper colors their infamous conduct. Hut as a picture of one of these irutensible brutes, will serve for that of the whole tribe, it may as well be given. If there be a spark of aoul left in any one of the herd, he will start ut the resemblance of himself, and reform at once. On one of the streets of a certain city? perhaps Brooklyn? in front of a certain store, js to be s?en <Jatly posted, a " yellow haired laddie," hearing a close resemblance to a variegated candle in his body, whde his head terminate' in one bright blaze. He ij consequential. His great desire is to win the affec tion** >f every lady with whom he becomes acquaint- | ?d. Should he fail ? and this has constantly been his fate? he immediately sets about aspersing the reputa tion of the lady, and boasts of his own prowess. He considers it dtcidedly vulgar to have any occupation, fnd prides himself upon the conquests he has made of wOTT.tr.> heart. In front of a face that vies with brass itself stands a prominent member of the lioJy, commonly appelated the note, and fiom its s.zv he j goes among his chums by t.ie name of "Nosey." ? j Among hi* other various attainments he boasts of a auperionty in Noaology, and keeps a heavy bdl at the apothecary's for mcdicincs. Fond of fine clothe.*, he takes particalar pains to parade himself so that he can be seen. His actions are indecent, and his ex pression* are s> loud that they can be heard half a aqua re off. Such ?s one of these lounger*, and such are all of them, with some slight variations, even mo e disgust ing than here noticed If any one of them should ?tagn to read this chapter on their outrageous follies, he wdl see hia own picture. Let him recoil from it and go hide his head like the ostrich. If the practice is not abandoned, and these coleriu ?f idlers still continue to insult females, peaceably promenading, or going to purchase perchance n paper ?f needles, or the like, let those pretty girls, who may be exposed to their impertinence, inform their brothers, fathers, lover*, or friends, and demsnd of them the ebs?n?riTient of these unfeeling wretches. Prompt artw?n in this way is worth a doten sermons to the tatscrnaat. Tit ro? Tat ? The Rev. David Hale, instigated by ?nne spirit we shall not say what quality ? advised on y body to knock nae'down in the street, because I happened to publish by mistake the name of a house among a general list of bankrupts. Who will knock down the Reverend tinner for doing the same thing the other day? .J Trip in Nonait Vara**. Washimotoh, July 8th, 183T. There is, as you are aware, within a abort diataace of thia city, a spot, consecrated to patriotism, and hallowed by the remains of one of the noblest citizens to whom this country ever has given or ever will give birth. Mount Vernon is now the Mecca of America, and the stranger, from all parte of the world, takes a pleasure in visiting the spot where the great Washing ton lived and died. 1 went with a party of ladies and gentlemen, the other day, ta visit the tomb, where now repose the ashes of him whose virtacs have shed such lustre on the character of lus country, and whose memory has been so strangely neglected. Our joarney was by land, and the scenery was occasionally picturesque an?i beautiful. The deep foliace of the forests, the verdure of the fields? the golden grain, and oc asional glimpses of the Potomac, as we passed an opening vista in the woods, gave beauty to the landscape, and rendered the journey, in no ordinary degree, delight ful. We found the house and grounds in the most delapidattd condition. There was no one at home, and wo could not obtain access to the interior of the dtvelluig, or the new tomb. The old vault was, how ever, open and ruinous, and into that Hound my way, and obtained, as a tro/hy, a piece of the wood which originally formed the outside case of the coffin, and which I mean to preserve as a relic. I regretted to sec the walks covered with grass, and the garden ne glected and disfigured with a rank growth of weeds. Kvery thing seems to be rapidly verging to ruin. The present owner is tho widow of the nephew of Judge Washington, and perhaps wants both the means and the taste necessary to keep the place in order. It struck me that Congress should purchase this estate, and erect on it a Naval Asylum and Academy, for the reception of infirm and disabled officers, and the in struction of midshipmen. It might th;n be kept in proper order, and rendered useful. As I looked upon the humble sepulchre which con tains his body, now mouldering into dust, and recalled all the toils, privations and sufferings he endured, to transmit to posterity the blessings of liberty and in dependence, I c ? -ild not avoid contrasting the patriot ism of that age with the cola-blooded apathy and sel- ' fiahness of the present. "In how short a time is the memory of the greatest benefactor forgottari ?" said I to one of thelast gener ation, who belonged to our party. "Forgotten ! Washington can never be forgotten," he observed ? " while virtue is revered, or patriotism admired. When his countrymen cease to venerate his memory, then I look upon the Republic as lost." " Not at all," said a young scribe of the present generation ? "Washington did n 4 more than others of his own age, and not so much as some who now live ? Gen. Jackson is a pnrer and greater man." The revolutionary patriot leoked at him with con tempt and horror, and heaved a sigh at the ingratitude and ignorance of his countrymcn. "That thejr have forgotten the man, and disregard hi9 principles, is too apparent," observed my old com panion ? "and the republic is rapidly verging to ruin. Opinions of a slavish character now prevail. The grossest usurpations? the most barefaced violations of the Constitution and the laws, by the Executive, are now not only tolerated, but lauded? a deep-rooted selfishness has taken the place of generous devotion ? every man thinks he must be aut Qatar aut nullus ? a man-worship, anil not principle, is the order of the day. With such opinio- s and feelings the Republic 1 cannot stand? and a few years, 1 fear, w.ll make my prophecy a melancholy reality. What has been done by the government or the people of this country to ho nor the memory of Washington, about whose services and virtues they prate so much ? That mined tomb contained his body for years after his death, and it now reposes in one erected by his family; while Con gress erect ?vcr the body of every obsctire member who dies at the seat of government, a sionc tomb, as a mark of their respect to his memory; and when the people are called upon to contribute the smallest sums to build a monument to the memory of Wash ington, their veneration is so scant, and their respect and giat tude so diminished that they either peremp torily refuse, or otter some silly and disgraceful excuse for not doing it. This fact I have learned from a member of a society established in Washington, for the purpose of erecting a great national monument to the memory of him, who was once esteemed the la ther of his country, and their exertions in this noble undertaking i *.ent the praise of every patriot and friend of virtue, in the nation." I "Can that be a fact?" said I? " can there be a man in this country so utterly destitute of all respect for ' himself ? so lust to all the nobler feelings of our nature ? so indifferent to the honor of kis country, as to re fuse to a,d an object intended to show our veneration for ths memory of this gnat man, and to wipe ofT the stigma of iiiitratitude from the notion 1" " Vcs? it is so. Men who owe every thing to his disinterested exertions ? fellows who have grown rich by his toil-*, and who bask in the security and happi ness which he was the great instrument of bestowing upon them ? have the mvauess, the soulless and con temptible niggardliness, to refuse even the small sum of a dollar, for stieh an object. An ex governor and senator of Rhode Inland, and a man of wealth? a commissioner of the General Land Office ? the Mayor of Baltimore, and even several members of Congress have refused. The whole state of New Hampshire has contributed but $20, and Rhode Island but 9140." "Can it be possible ?" said I ? "but what can be expected from a state whose Governor is Isaac Hill; 'what can we expect from a people,' says Dr. Jokn son ? ' whose god is a monkey.' " But old feelings and old sentiments are fast fading away. The name of Washington is loosing its charm, and his memory is fading from the hearta of his coun trymen. Republics are proverbially ungrateful, and their necessary tendency la to product selfishness. The present generation is surprised at the forbearance of Washington, and accvrding to Vulwer, ascribes h.s parity ss much to the mediocrity of his genius as ti the sincerity of his patriotism -the coarseness of vulgar ambition can sympathise bui little with those who refuso a throne. Wliere are now the ardour and enthusiasm which oneo manifested themselves on the anniversary of our independence? What was the feeling exhibited in the Capital of the nation, and else where on the last 4th of July ? A cold indifference ? a kind of npathy, which indicated more dissatisfac tion than joy at an event which wna wont to be cele brated all over the country, with feelings of gratitude, exultation and pride;? and what did the democratic President? the representative of the democracy of the nation on that day ? Closed the doors of the execu tive mansion to the people whom he so tenderly loves, and stood with his hands in Ins breeches pockets, and a grin on his oountensncc like the incarnation of the genius of evil, smiling and exulting nt the wide-spread misery he had produced. Never before has a Prest dent of the United States done this, while he remained in Washington. The poveity of Monroe compelled him to retire to his farm in Virginia, during the sum mer months, and therefore could not open his house. But here is a President who is said to be affluent? no matter how his wealth was obtained? spending the Fourth of July in this city? shutting his doors upon the people, and retiring within his palace, to brood j over the destruction of his country's Constitution and liberty. An officer of the army, mortified at the conduct of the President, and wishing to pay aome 1 little respect to the day, caused some rockets to be thrown up in front of the President's house, which, I understand, his Majesty condescended to look at from the southern portico of the palace, and was graciously pleased to express his spprobatioa of this ft u dt joie, which costliim nothing) and which, of course, he took j as a compliment to himself. What an immortality of infamy this man is destined to receive from the pen of 9en?e future Tacitus. But to return. The young women and men of our party strolled over the grounds for some hours, but 1 seemed to be more delighted with each other's society and the beautiful scene around them, than benefitted by the associations of the place. For my part, 1 could say with Dr. Johnson ? "That man is to be pitied whose patriotism is not fired by standing on the pla ns of Maiathon, or whose piety does not grow warmer among the ruins of lona." In every lover of his country, a visit to Mount Vernon will produce a wanner glow of patriotism, and a deeper vensration for the memory of one whose virtues are without a pareilel in the history of the world. The mandamus case is not yet decidtd ; but it is understood that the opinion of the Court has undrgone no change, and of course that Amos must either obey or go to prison. The issue is now between the Exe cutive and Judiciary, and if the latter has to yield, all power will be vested in the former? and the American Executive a despot, controlling at his will the legisla tive and judicial power, and having in his hands the army, navy and treasure ef the nation ? Can this be a republic ? sr is it a misnomer. Cr Capt. Marrvatt, unless he takes particula care of his "sayings and doings," will rapidly lose his reputation among Americans. He is now picking up characters, incidents, traits, and sketches descriptive of the state of society and manners in this country. ? Is he aware that the whole community are bu*ily engaged in picking up sketches, traits and anecdotes of him 7 His " Peter Simple," and his "Jacob Faith- i ful," two most exquisite works of fiction, paved the way for his reception in this country, and disposed every intellectual person to treat him with courtesy and respect. He is rapidly losing that character, if the accounts we have received of him are accurate. During his recent visit to West Point, he disgusted a great many intelligent, refined and educated per sons, by his egotism, vulgarity, and peculiar tastes. ? Capt. Matryatt's behavior towards ladies, on many occasions, is any thing but refined and delicate? He forgets that in this country, whatever other barba- i risms we may be guilty of, rudeness to females, of any rank in society, is never tolerated or excused.? i We will venture to say thai in no nation under hea- i ven, were the female sex ever loved and esteemed as 1 they are in this country. Travel where you please, a female always command* the attention of our six. j On the whole we advise Capt. Marryatt to believe that, in this country, he is not in Wapping or Almax in the East. A reflection in time may save him from a great deal of trouble hereafter. IjT That the present pressure is the effect of the wicked devices and machinations of wicked man, and inft rnals for ought we can tell, is evident from the embarrassments it has brought upoR the missionary operations of the day, thus preventing the salvation of thw world and postposing the milleniurn from fifty to one hundred ycirs ? perhaps longer. We learn that a circular has been sent to the vari ous missionary stations under the patronage of the American Board, informing them of the reductions ne cessarily made in their annual appropriations. The Greek Neslorian missions each make sacrifices to the amount of 91,000; the Smyrna and Singapore mis sions, each 1,500; the Syrian 1,760; the Constanti nople, 2,000 ; the Marhattas, 3 500 ; the South India, 4,800; the Ceyloa, 5,000; the Sandwich Islands, 5,600 ; the missions to the Indian tribes, 10,000, <&c. Should the average monthly receipts fall short of I ?19,000, a further reduction will be necessary, or the dobt of the Board in September will be about 845, 000. The five missionaries who were expecting to depart the present month, cannot be sent; and thirty other missionaries who wore to go out in the autumn are requested to make their arrangements for remaining in the country at least another year. This state of things is truly deplorable. Truly the Executive ? the speculators? the bankers? Mr. Bid die, or who ever has caused the pressure, have much to answer for. CT My friend Webb cannot slefp quietly under the growing greatness, prosperity and patronage of tho Herald? a morning and on evening paper. ? He says yesterday, speaking *?f the close of John Haggcrty's case? "James Oordon Bennett, editor of a penny paper," &c. Penny paper, forsooth ! Why my paper sells ten times for a shilling that Ins does. Its regular price is two cents for the morning paper and two cents for the evening ? four cents for both per day. But such is iheir popularity that they frequently sell at a sixpence and a shilling apiece. Then as to my circulation? it is three times that of the sleepy "Conner," and the public have found it out too, fvr the cash advertisements are crowding up ?n us like an avalanche from the mountains. In ten years, or less, the Herald will be in this country what the "Times" is in London ? the leading journal of the Meat Snor*.? We beg our readers to read over a report given of a trial in the Marine Court respecting these useful establishments. The whole system Of corporation iniquity is fully explained in it. No won der the mechanic cannot find meat for his family, when $500 to 93000 has to be paid for a stand in the public markets? this too independent of rent, Ac. ? No wondeT meat is at this time from fourteen to sixteen ccnti per lb., when every avenue for the obtaining it is closely shut up by the "fathers of the city," and all are compelled to pay the five hundred dollar men and the three thousand dollar men, whatever price they may choosc to demand for their meat to cover the | expense they have gone to in purchasing their pnvi liges. There is comfort, however, in the knowledge that the "bone and sinew'' can do without flesh } their children are well satisfli.d with smelling without dreaming of tasting the meat ? they look upon m our public marketa; otherwise we think the corporation and its laws on this subject would very soon be kicked to Finish the sentence as you feel disposed, reader !

Kay West. July 1.? On the morning of the 25th ult., Capt. J. Whalton, with a crew ofiMir men, left the light ship for the purpose of procuring wood, on Key Largo, a distance of abuui six miles, at which place he had cul tivated a garden for some years past. The Indians, six in number, seeing them unarmed, secicted them selves behind some bushes and barrels on the sboie, and waited deliberately until they landed, at which time they tired, and killed Captain Whalton. The man next him gave the alarm, and the four men ran for the boat, three of whom succeeded in getting on board; the other man was shot down in the water. Two of the men in the boat were slightly wounded, and had not the Indians pursued them so far in the water as to wet their riflt s, there is no doubt they would have accomplished their object of murdering the whole party. The circumstance of this inhuman murder is pecu liarly distressing. Capt. Whalton was the keeper of the light ship, in which capacity he hasg ven saiisfac tion, not only to the government, but to the commer cial world. He has been inhumanely murdered, and left a disconsolate widow and large family to lament his loss, at a time, too, when we had every reason to believe hostilities had ceased with this inhumane race. We are n?w situated without troops ? not even a cutter or vessel oi war to protect us, and should those wretches know of our situation, they would, in all probability, make an attack on us here. They were not satisfied with murdering, butchering, scalping, and stripping them of their clothes, but they cut off the fin ger# of Capt. Whalton for his rings. The captains *md crews of several of the wrecking vessels, on hearing of this melancholy event, proceed ed in search of the bodies, which they found as before described. They were removed to Matacomba Key, and there interred. Mrs. Whnlion and family arrived here on the 28th ult., in the U. S. Mail boat, Capt. Sully. Capt. Wat lington has been sent up as temporary keeper of the light ship, by the collector of this port. ? Correspon dence of l/tc Charleston Courier. Probably- \ Hoax. ?

Ons Day Later from London. ? The Wilmot ar rived at St. Johns, N. B., in a remarkable short pas sage of 22 days. She sailed from Londonderry on 7ih of June and brought a London paper of the 4 th. A number of failures of American houses had taken place in London, and it was expected that more would follow, as the Bank of England had refused all further aid to American houses. The excitement was represented as being very great. The Rumored murder. ? A rolling stone, says the proverb, gathers no moss ; whereas, a travelling story, at each stage of its journey, comes laden with fresh j incidents and additions. Yesterday, and the day | before, a story went the rounds of the papers, that a J young woman had been poisoned up-town. There was a death in reality, and up town too, but it was not a young woman ? not a good big girl ? not even a fumale infant ? but a little child, a boy, who died after having a dose of medicine administered to it by one David Dodd, who hangs out his sign near to where the infant's parents resided. By the time the story travelled to the Upper Police, the boy had become converted into a female infant? ere it reached the loafers on the steps of the Bowery theatre, the female infant became an interesting young girl ? and when the story arrived at tha Police office, the interesting young girl was metamorphised into a fine young wo man! In this shape it met the ears of the reporters and got into the public prints. The Coroner held an inquest on the body of the child yesterday, who was named William Waterbury ? when the evidence of Dr. Webster being given, the jury (ound that the child died incouvulsion fits. The scene of this rumored tragedy has been care fully concealed. A second inq test was held on the body of Adam ! Carey, who fell from a sloop on Friday last, at the : foot of Canal street, and who died yesterday at the hospital. Verdict, accidcntal death. Trip into Long Island. ? Take a wagon and a coaple of horses? lay in a stock of old clothes? get a friend with you ? and start as soon as you may for Long Islnnd. Travel about in every direction? somo times on the south side, sometimes on the north side, visit the farm houses? live as do the farmers? talk with the country girls, fish, shoot, fowl, and lounge away the days and nights for a week. This is what we call going into the country. The Boston Rioters. ? The trial of these men commenced yesterday. The first person plactd at the bar was John Whalsy, an Irishman. He was found guilty. The trial of eleven others of his coun trymen were to follow the same day, and that of the Americans immediately after. "Johnson, did you see the extract from Cal houn's letter in the Morning Herald T' said n gentle man to his friend yesterday morning. "No." "Well you ought to get it at once. It is by far the most sen sible snd patriotic thing I have seen." It is, and if all men would act as Mr. Calhoun ad riset, the country would soon get upon the right path. Cr Daniel Webster will be here in a week. ? Let us get up a dinner to him? and have another speech. Van is going to fit up the East Room in magnifi cent style. That's right.

Mr. Blunt stated the case to the jury, informing them that thia wu an indictment to recover the the penalty of selling meat against the corporation laws. William Varick, examined? I am appointed to aae after the inarkete, &c.; I gave warning to the different meat stores in my district that they were selling against the laws; 1 told them one week would be al lowed them to close up their shops; The defendant said. " If I cannot sell my meat, 1 cannot pay my rent;" 1 have seen him sell meat in his shop at the coiner of Riviagion and Ridge streets; I saw him re ceive the money for the sanfe. Cross-examined ? I am appointed to superintend market:', and laws, and them ere things. Question ? You are a butcher 1 Witness? 1 am all that, [rising on tip-toe with an air of extraordinary dignity;] there is a committee of old butchers called the " butchers' executive commit tee;" applicants for stands in the markets are obliged to send in a petition to them, and they refer such peti tion to the Common Council Question ? Then no one can obtain a stand with out the good will of the " Butchers' Executive Com mittee. Witnsse ? Not as I knows of. I formmly kept a stand in the market myself. Question? Are you sure it was fresh meat Mr. Campbell sold? Witness ? ! am certain of it. It was wished to be shown that this witness had sold out his stand for a considerable sum over and above w!:at the corporation received for it, but the ev idence was deemed inadmissible. John Trigler, examined? 1 am a Superintendent of Markets; I have had a stand in market myself; 1 have known $2000 paid for a stand; the stands vary in price from $500 to $3000; it has been the custom to sell the market stalls for many years; formerly a tell was taken, three cents for a sheep, four for a calf and six cents for cach ox sold in the market; I sold a stall which I purchased of the corporation: a large majori ty of the stands are held at considerably over the ori ginal cost paid to the corporation; there are now about twenty-three or twenty-four stands vacant; there are a very considerable number of licensed butchers more than can be any possibility to obtain stands. George Pessenger, examined.? 1 am a butcher; the stalls are held at the will of the corporation; it is a very easy matter to get a stall if you have two or three thousand dollars to pay for it! The Btalls are drawn for by lot; the defendant Campbell drew a stall in Union market; 1 am u member of the Butchers Executive Committee; Mr. Campbell's petition for a stall passed through our hands; ihcobjeclof persons being com pelled to send petitions to the Butchers Executive Committee, is to determine whether the petitioners are competent to slay, skin and sell meat, and to pre vent any profane people, swearers, i f?c. from getting stands in our markets; there arc many stands empty. Three petitions only have been presented to the Butchers Executive Committer; in Union market there are six stands vacant. Eighty-seven applica tions were made for them; 1 purchased the good will &c. of the stall I hold; I did not obtain it of the cor poration. It was admitted that the defendant was a licensed butcher. The plaintiff* s counsel now rose, and in his defence said ? "A better expose of the stupidity and unfairaeas of ihe laws enacted by corporations, than the present, could not have been discovered. It was by means such as had been detailed before them, that many young butchers were compelled to remain as journey men, the servants of others, who might, were it not for these iniquitous laws, be obtaining an adequate com petency and independence for themselves and families. Suppose the corporation should take it into their col lective wisdom to say that no dry goods should be sold excepting in oneplace ? the one would be equally as reasonable as the other. What do the corpora tion say, in fact, to these young men who wish to be come master butchers, but this, ' We license you as a butcher, but we absolutely refuse to let you sell meat at all, excepting where we choose? for which priti (notan American citizen's right, mark ye!) ? we shall charge you fiom $800 to $3000.' " Mr. Blunt rose in reply: he said, "I shall be ena bled to shew that this municipal law is to be found in Theocracy ? in Democracy? in the laws of the Eng lish Heptarchy? in Deuteronomy ? and in many other weighty authorities. This selling of meat, said the counsellor, otherwise than under the cspecial direc tion of the corporation, woald lead to dreadful evils. What if one of you (gentlemen) were to hire a house, and waking up u> the morning, find a butcher's stand on each sideoi you ? In no country under heaven m such a license permitted. In London, that boasted city of libei ty, every butcher is licentcd. One butcher may not even buy a piece of meat of another. The wholesale butcher ia compelled to buy of the jobber? the jobber of the graxier? and so on. No man dare kill any kind of animal for food or sale within so many miles of ihe city? and all these regulationa are enforced under the severest penalties. 1 think, there fore, we are fully entitled to a verdict. Judge Hammond charged the jury. His honor said, "Thi* indictment was for selling meat in other places than the public markets. The first question ariaes im what is a public market? Whether there is such a thing as a public market, or whether by this corporation re gulatiou the whole are not turned into private mar kets. If the corporation Attorney has proved that there is such a place as a public market where any one may go and sell his meat? then they have proved a public market ; hut if he has only proved that a man can sell meat by buying a stall, price from $500 to $3000 ! then he lias not establish ed ha position, and the plaintiff is entitled to your verdict: unless, indeed, the corporation have the pow er of levying indirect isxes J If they have not that power, they may possibly be mistaken in this law, and have attempted to enforce a regulation to which they have no just letral right. The evidence was before the jury, it was for them to decide. The jury having retired, in about forty minutes re turned into court, when the following curious scene took plsce. Judge?

Suppose we go out ? Another Juryman in reply.? No, let us stay? we've found b verdict that's sufficient. Mr. Blunt here ssid, we only claim one penalty, $50. After some talk, the jury gave as their verdict, damages againat the defendant $60. Policb, July 11?
