Daily Paper, £8—Crnmtry Paper, %5, per annum WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1827. From the London New Monthly Magazine. LONDON REMANETS. In the Metropolitan Court of Hymen, only a certain number of causes can be tried during the season. In a considerable portion of them the plaintiffs are nonsuited: now and then a ju ror is withdrawn; and sometimes they go off by consent. Norwithstanding all this, the suits art lo numerous, that those which are set down late become Remanets. Mrs. M’Tangle and family are still sojourning in Russel place, Fitz rov square. All the rest of the world, (that is to say, all the individuals in Mrs. M’Tangle’s visiting book,) ate out of town The Parting tons are stalking, at the rate of sixpence a head, upon the upper pier at Margate: the Fergusons ate at the Plough at Cheltenham; the Fairfields superinspcct the new steps now constructing in the cliff at Ramsgate, vice Jacob’s Ladder su peranua’ed; Colonel and Mrs. Nightingale hum duetts on Sion Hill, Tunbridge Wells; and the Honorable Lieut. Col. Ogle perforates hearts, like one of Homer’s charioteers from his tilbu ry, round ihe Steine at Brighton, every day from thiec to five. Bui Mr and Mrt». and three Miss M* 1 angles continue in Russel place, Fitz roy square. In other words, the M’Tangles are London Remanets. \v nat can oe me reason ot mis: is me cjucs lion pretty generally put by husbands 10 wives, and by wives to husbands; who, if they are at tached at all, must be held, upon these occa sions, to be “attached for want of answer.”— None of them know the secret; I do. Mrs M’ Tangle is a very clever woman, and must be supposed to have a reason for what she does. As to Mr. M’Tangle, he is nobody; which, to be sure, is generally the case in families where the wife is somebody. 1 never knew thrworld to admit both husband and wife to ha clever , people. In this respect they are like Chelsea water works; when one is up, the other is down. M’ Tangle is by no means a fool, when you get him into a coi ner. A little too apt, indeed, to talk about the cor* laws, but in other respects, I should call him an endurable sort of a body; and his prudence is proverbial. During the heat oflast summer, he is add to have tied up his wheelbarrow, because a mad dog had snap ped at it. And yet w ;en the wife is mentioned, people always cry him down. When I marry, , pursuits.— Parke, the oboe player, was caught by a friend placing the fiddle: “For heaven sake,” exclaim ed ihe crifice puffer, “don’t mention it again; if the town knew that I played on two instru ments, they would never give me the credit of excelling on either.” Men always sympamise wun me sunrrmg ui gills, more lhan those of their own sex. “Real ly, my dear, I pity these poor girls, the M’ Tan gles,” said Mr Partington to his lady, as he peeped through his telescope on the .Margate Pier head, in the vain hope of catching a little amoke in the horizon, from which to infer the coming of the Eclipse steam vessel. “There they are broiling in town this whole blessed aummer—you should ask one of them down.” So saying, Mr. Partington tilted his Chinese straw hat little more over his brow to shade his eyes from the burning glare of Phebus. “Why as to that, my dear,” answered the wife, “we have daughters of our own to dispose of; and don’t you remember how Sally M’Tangle took the first in a duett of ‘Con un Aria’ with Col. Nightingale, after he had tried it with out daughter Fanny, and had found that the poor girl could not get on wilh it? “I have never had a good opinion of the family since.” This, of course, 'Citled the matter.—A word with Mr. Partington, about his phrase “broiling in | town.” I am a town man myself, and think it my duty to staud up for my own metropolis. Why should the M’Tangles broil, because they happen to be in town? For my own part I can only say that when 1 was last at Ramsgate I wa> broiled pretty handsomely I took a walk upon the Lighthouse Pier, and a very light house it was; my face was like Lord Kelly’s, whom Foote {solicited to look over his garden wall to ripen his melons; Saint Laurence was a sprat to me. Oil my return to town, 1 took a boat from Cherry garden Stairs to Whitehall; to do which I had to walk down Botolph lane. The street was delightfully narrow, the sun could not enter, but a column of air could; and 1 was regaled by the garden scent of oranges aud lemous in the adjoining warehouses. Let us hear no more of broiling in town. From that lime forth I have always set down my cause as a London Remand. 1 he fact is, that Mis. M’ Tangle, has let me into her confidence know ing, that I nevor published. I met her of all places in the world in a p'ivate box at Adel phia Theatre, witnessing the representation of L^>ng Tom Coffin, by Mr. P. T. Cooke; and a yery clever representation it is. “You never come near us now,” ejaculated Mrs. M'Tangle, in one of her most mellifluent moods.—Know ing that I was past praying for in the matrimo nial line. I felt puzzled to account for this •uddtn predilection. However, it was settled that I should dine with her on the Wednesday following, when 1 accordingly met 3 or 4 young tnen—a great deal too young for me, but by no means too young for the Mesdemoiscllcs M’ Tangle. We had the usual lures. Tom Gis hone, who had mado a good deal of money by Mexican scrip, was asked by Mrs. M’Tangle if he would not have some love sauce with h»s muffin pudding. George Juniper, a rising wine and brandy merchant, sang after dinner, “My spirits are mounting, my heart’s full of ■(cause and effect in one line,) which Jane M - Tangle pronounced to be the best song she ever heard in her life; and Sarah, the youngest, un dismayed by her former failure in “Con un A ria,” consented to take the first in the “Witch 1 es’ Glee,” composed by King, if Mr. Parsons ' (son and heir of Sir Peregrine Parsons) would take the second. I found by comparing little circumstances together, that they had been conning it over for weeks; and I now discover ed the secret of Mrs. M’Tangle’s adoration of me at the Adeiphi Theatre. I had observed Jane whispering to her mother between the acts significantly, and had overheard the words— “Sings a bass.” I thought at the moment tjiat this was meant to apply to Long Tom Coffin, but I now found that I was the hero of the side speech, and that I had been complimented with a knife and fork in Russel place, in order to grumble out, “When the Hurly burlys done.” Being in the main a good natured man when nothing occurs to vex me, I made no objection, and away we started with, “When shall we three meet again,” as loud as if nothing had happened. After this 1 left the three girls fumbling over music books in quest of “O Pa tria ingtata ” “You will find it among the loose songs,” said Jane to Sarah, where it occurred to me, it had no business to be. It farther oc curred to me that my bass being ended, and there being three girls and three young men, exclusive of the author, I was one too many Accordingly kind Mrs. M’Tangle called me in to the adjoining drawing room, to get me out of harm’s way; and I left the half dozen young ones pinned two and two, as young ones should, looking over operas, and hoping that Veluti was not going to leave us. Mrs. M’Tangle now lei me a little into her plan. I took my seat by her on the sofa; and while a crimson ottoman propped her feet, she opened after the following fashion:—“This is the third year of my continuance in town dur ing the summer. After a pretty regular run of the watering places, 1 found them all, from Ju ly to Septsmber, overstocked with other peo ple’s daughters, possessed of greater personal attractions than mine. One warm morning I war. conning the matter over with Mr. M’Tan gle, at Donaldson’s library, when it suddenly occurred to me, that London in the autumn, from the absence of competitors would give the girls a reasonable chance. I mentioned the matter to Mr. M’Tangle who caught at the idea with alacrity. - Poor mar.! he never liked the sea side. The sun put out his eyes, and the absence of his ledger and day book gave him the yellow jaundice. We accordingly resolved to adhere to Russel place, Fitzroy square, thro’ good and evil report, from year’s end to year’s end. The scheme has, I am glad to say, hither to succeeded. Young tnen are delighted with a dinner invitation in September and October; and when you onee have them, you keep them.” “True,"answered I, “but what species of young j men? People of fashion are killing game a hundred miles off ” “People or fashion! peo ple of fiddle stick!” retorted Mrs. M’Tangle, “I have no taste for the Lord Charleses and Lord Johns. Give me income. There is a considerable poi tion^f^goo^jnarriageahlejTna^ a great part of the autumnal season. I have procured two sons in law al ready, who came hitherto a courting, with their legs pendent from the top of the Tallyho Pad dington coach, their descent, they had only to cross Fitzroy square, and here they were. You may rely upon it, sir, the true way of attach ing society is to give people dinners when no body else will." “I highly approve of your plan madam," answered I, rising to take my leave, “I will recommend its adoption to Aldei man Hungerford, now on his travels to Greece in quest of Liberty and the picturesque. He has several marriageable daughters. Our young countrymen are flocking to Athens in shoals— a dinner party in the Acropolis will infallibly do the business. THE LIGHT OF OTHER TIMES. It is not in the season of infancy, when the tongue half articulates the name of ‘ mamma,’ in lisping accents—when the little arms are twined around the nurse’s neck, in gratitude for some dainty just received* and the eye sparkles as it gazes on some novel object, in all the fervor of-new-born enthusiasm, that the bosom thrills with the pleasures, or throbs with the pains ot memory. But a little time and the scene is changed—in our school-day trou bles, young and thoughtless as the heart may be, we fe»*l its influence—we leave, perchance, our ‘ nati\e home,’ aud the companions of our infantine sports. The fir-t tear of real grief now dims the eye, as we recall our childish joys, and contrast them with the dull monotony of study and dis cipiine. And where are the absent friends whose society may have charmed, arid whose sympathy may have soothed us?, Together with them the promenade may have been past, or the \olume perused—they have shkred our joys and sorrows in other hours—they may have mingled with us in the festive d/tfee, and their voices with ours may have harjfmnized many a leisure hour—yet still they are far away, and these scenes have vanished; but in moments of \isionary indulgence, these images will rise up on the fancy, at the recollection of whiph we ‘srpile while we sigh,amt sigh while we smile * And we mav roam from place to place—new scenes will burst upon the eye, nature’s charms are spread before us, the majesty of the rooun tain, the grandeur of the wave, the magnificence of the woodland wilds, or the fllauty of the grove and the grace of the rivulet, may rise up on the eye—yet while the enthusiastic spirit is revelling in haunts like these, the heart will of ten linger round the natal bowers we have left behind; warmer hearts may nere be found—fair er forms are stealing near us,—yet still the thought will hover round the past, and we sigh for ‘Those we’ve left behind us.* Remembrances like these, though melancho ly, may be pleasing, although * joy’s recollec tion is no longer joy.’ But have you lost a friend? a brother? heard a mother’s parting breath? Then, indeed, the pains of memory are ours-—Oh! these will press upon the spint at the gayest seasons, and spread a gloom over the happiest days. Have ye not seen the smile checked by the sigh of sorrow? Have ye not seen the gloomy shade come suddenly around the brightest brow? True, indeed, ‘ theye are thoughts we cannot banish,’though all around are happy and joyous. And how powerful is ; association! A strain of music will bring some half forgotten image to the mind, as we recog nize the well known air, and think upon the one whose voice first breathed those sounds up on the ear. Did ye hear the note of the song ster from yonder tree?—-Remembrance revives with that strain: Hark! to the sound of yon dis tant bell, as it falls upon the ear in these ro mantic solitudes—‘ How many a tale its music tells”—a glance of the eye, a tone of the voice, will recall ’.he past, and the eyes and the voices we have known in moments that are gone. We revisit, perchance, some familiar spot, alter ab sence has half worn its recollection irom the mind. It may be the classic halls that have been trod so often in the glow of youthful feel ing—it may be our childhood’s home, among whose bowers we have sported in times long past. But where are the forms that we loved? the bright and the beautiful, they are gone— then, indeed, the hand is pressed to the burning brow as these remembrances swell tlu- heart. Have ye gazed upon the star of eve, or the midnight moon, without musing on ‘ other times?’ Does not the sigh escape us in limes like these, when all is silent round? ‘ The eyes are ilimm’d with childish tears, The heart is idly stirr’d; For the same sounds are in the ears, Which in past past times were heard.’ From the Democratic Press. Mr. Editor—We are vexed at your exposure of the subsidiary support given by Mr. Senator Eaton to the Colttfrnbian Observer. W e know not what to say of it. A bold denial, which was at first thought of, would be useless, inasmuch as you have obtained an official copy of the re cord. The exposure must injure our party.— The Editor of the Observer used to boast of hispurtVy, and to charge other Editors with be ing hirelings until he convinced our followers that the Jackson Editors were the only honest ones, the only men who were not bought; hut it now turns out that they were the only ones who teere bought. We recollect that the Cincinnati ti Gazette made a similar exposure concerning one of our papers in Kentucky, a shoit time be fore the Ohio Congressional election, which it is suspected had considerable influence in pro curing the signal defeat of our parly in that state; and we fear your exposition may have a similar effect in Pennsylvania. The incident in Kentucky was as follows: The Lexington Monitor being offered for sale by its proprietor, Mr. Hunt, Andrew .1. Donaldson, a nephew of General Jackson, and a member of his family, got a Mr. Baily to purchase it for the purpose of supporting the cause of the General, upon condition that Mr. Donaldson should fur nish the funds/ Accordingly Mr. Donaldson gave his three notes for S500 each; the paper was transferred toMr Baily,Sc became a furious partizan of our candidate. The interest of Do naldson was to be kept secret, lest it should in jure the Generali cause. Soon after this trans ^iS^aftfinf'^MPm^p^n^Vll^'A^drevrjackson Donaldson who h:d paid One of the R500 notes, refused to pay the second one. Upon this, Mr. Baily brought a bill against him in the Court of Chancery, and made oath to the foregoing farts. The Cincinatti Gazette published them. Our Editors in the West contradicted them. Upon this the Editor of the Gazette (*» provoking as yours* lf) obtained a certified copy of the record in the Chancery suit, and published extracts from it, fully proving his to’'ineT statement.— Upon this our Editors were hushed into silenct ubon the subject; for nothing letter could be done: And the people voted against us. What amazes some of our friomil is, that these purchase* of the press should be made by the immediate friends and relatives olthe General himself, who we had supposed, above any thing of the kind. Mr. Eaton, yo^ know, has been brought forward under the Gheral’s pat ronage: and Mr Donaldson is a iard of the General. It is said that the Getrral had no concern in the business himself. $ut then it is asked, how does it happen that ^ is so un fortunate in the choice of his intinrjte friends; and why does he not dismiss then' from his confidence? The matter is certainHa difficult one, to get over, satisfactorily. It is suggested that if the Generj^hould be elected President, he may issue a mi,Liry order, prohibiting Editors of newspapers rom pub lishing any records of Ju licial procolings, in which men in political life are conrjned, and directing that all who disobey shall 9 tried by an “independent court martial,” anf'punish ed,” under the “second section ofjie Rules for the Government of the army.” nir’s, &c. An Original Jacks\ Man. From the Democratic Press JACKSON IN KENTUCKY', The Jackson papers profess to have fkealiy triumphed in the confirmation, by the SeTte of Kentucky, of the nomination of Georg YV. Bibb, as Chief Justice of that State. 1ft the fact is, that that appointment was sanclned by way ol compromise between the old arLew Court parties—the other two Judges be^ 0f the old Court party, the members of thatlrty were willing to have one Judge of thel^r party, in hopes to allay the unhappy conti?r. sy in which the people of the Slate were irllv ed. The real standing of General Jackadjjn Kentucky, may, however, be judged of by|L. cent occurrence in the House of ReprescntaLs in that State, as mentioned in the Kentucky, porter* A bill being before the House fofip establishment of a new county, a motions made fo give it the name of “’Jackson.” Ul ' taking the question, only about fifteen or ttl ly members rose in the affirmative, althoJ the HdlTse consists of about a hundred mq bers. The name of M‘Kee was then agreed! As the House of Representatives was but lJ ly elected, this vote may be considered as pit ty strong indication of the sentiments of Kl tucky.

FROM RIO 1)E J ANEIRO k THE LA PLATA. To the attention of Captain Farrtn, of the fast sailing brig Sylph, arrived at Annapolis, we are indebted for the following intelligence. The Sylph left Rio de Janeiro on the 7th December at which time commercial affairs were general ly dull, particularly in American produce, while that of the country was scarce and high, owing chiefly to the hot press for men to man the ves sels of war, a proceeding which deterred the country people from coming to market. The Emperor, (as has heretofore been stated) sailed from Rio on the 25th. About the time of his departure, the Emptess was taken sick, Sc when the Sylph sailed, her life was despaired of. The U. S. ships Macedonian, Commodore Biddle, and Cyane, Captain Elliott, were on the point of sailing for Montevideo, for which port the sloop of war Boston saiied two days previous. The English squadron consisted of the Gan ges, 80 guns, Admiral Otway, the frigate Do ris, Sir John Sinclair, and Ranger, Lord H Thynne. The Doris sailed in co. with the Sylph A French frigate, having an admiral's flag, and a schooner, were at Rio. The English frigate Rangel* arrived at Rn on the 2d December from Montevideo, which she left on the 14th November, bringing ties patches from the British minister, and the Rio mail, taken from the British Packet King Fisk er,frorn Buenos Ayres, which latter ran on the English Bank on the 12th November. The passengers in the packet, among whom w^s George \V. Slocum, Esq. Consul of the United States at Buenos Ayres, were taken off the wreck next day by the Btazilian schooner Jan uary, the commander of which treated them with the greatest attention. The captain and crew were taken off’by If. M. ship Eudeavour, one of the ships destined to make a survey from the La Plata through the Straits of Ala gellan. The packet was afterwards got off and towed in*o Montevideo, with the loss of cables anchors; provisions, Sec. thrown overboard. Mr. Slocum, at the polite invitation of Lord Thynne, came in the Ranger to Rio. The packet left Buenos Ayres on the 6th No vember, the blockade of which port was still kept up by the Brazilians with a large force._ They had, however, permitted Admiral Brown to escape in the schooner of war Sarandi, (for merly the Grace Ann of Baltimore,) and join the sloop of war Chicabuco from Chili. A pri vateer brig also got out a few days after Admi. ral B. Business was at a stand at Buenos Ay res. Just before the Ranger sailed from Monte Video, General Soler had arrived before the walls of that town with an additional force of 12 to 1500 men, and the siege was expected to he more rigidly kept up. Affairs in the Banda Oriental presented a more favorable aspect.— The dissemions which had existed among some of the commanders in the Patriot army had been reconciled by the intervention of the ge neral in chief, Don Carlos Alvear, who it was said would march in a few days upon the Pro vince of Rio Grande, with a well appointed ar my of 9000 men. The whole of the Banda Ori ental remained in the hands of the Patriots, with the exception of Colonia and Monte Video, both of which were closely invested.
