The review of the latest fashionable novel,
which we copy from the New York Courier, is
a just rebuke, and may be applied to that whole

land, Eugene Aram, Ac.
Another Escape!—A display of fire works was
nude a few evenings since at the Rip Raps.—
The President was standing near a barrel of
combustibles, to which, by some means, fire was
accidentally communicated—when away went,
with an explosion, rockets, stars, wheels, ser
pents, Sic.—one of the missiles just grazing the
President, another striking one of the ladies,
&c. Fortunately no one was injured.
It is currently reported through the city
mvs the Philadelphia Gazette) that the mission
Amos Kendall to the Philadelphia Banks, in
reference to the Government deposits, has been
altogether unsuccessful. With a solitary excep
tion? it is said, alt the banks have refused the de
posits on any terms.
A meeting of the friends of the American Co
lonization Society was called in New Y’ork on
Tuesday Evening, at which it was
••Resolved, That it is expedient to adopt im
mediate and vigorous efforts to raise in the city
and state the sum of Twenty Thousand Dol

V. S. Bank Slock.—415 shares were sold at
the New York stock exchange on Wednesday,
at 112$ 113, which is said to be the highest price,
taking into account the dividend, which the stock
has at any tune borne since the delivery of the
veto message.
Latest from Portugal.—Capt. Howland of the
brig Betsey & Jane at New Bedford, from St.
Michaels, which he left on the 29th June, reports
that four or live days previous to his sailing, a
schooner arrived at that place, in four and a half
ilavs from Oporto, with a few wounded soldiers
from Don Pedro’s army. She brought accounts
of D>m Pedro having received an addition of
troops from England and France, and that 5000
soldiers had embarked on board steamers at Opor
to, destination unknown. These accounts were
received with much satisfaction at St. Michaels,
and hopes were entertained that the straggle
would soon terminate favorably to the cause of
Donna Maria. The accounts however, previous
to the above, were of a nature not very flatter
ing to Don Pedro’s friends, and these last, in
spired them with new hopes. At Madeira, 14th
June, there were 3000 of Don Miguel’s best
troops. Every thing was quiet and the inhabi
tants did not entertaiu the least fear of Don Pe
dro’s succeeding.
From Buenos Arnes. — By the arrival of the
brig Amanda. Capt. Yorke, at New York, ad
vices from the Argentine Republic to the 22d of
June, almost a month later than our previous ac
counts, have been received.
The Legislature convened at Buenos Ayres
on the 31st of May, at the opening of which
Uov. Balcarce alluded to the controversy with
the United States relative to the Falkland Isl
ands, in the following tenns:
»* The Minister sent by the Government of
Washington, whose expected arrival was an
nounced to you in the preceding year, and whom
it was resolved to await in order to come to an
explanation relative to the destruction by main
force of the colony in the Island de la Soledad
;one of the Falkland Islands.) by the Captain of
the United States corvette Lexington, did in ef
fect arrive, and was received in the character of
Charge d’Aft’iires: you are, Messrs. Represen
tatives, already acquainted with the state of this
negociation. The Government, in order to fol
low it up, has appointed a Minister, and has no
tified this appointment to that of Washington;
and he will be despatched with the competent in
structions to obtain satisfaction and reparation
lor so great an injury.
The Governor also adverted to the taking pos
session of those islands by the British, and stat
ed that the government had directed its minister
at the Court of St. James to demaud their resti
tution.
Another Sunday election took place on the
1 Gth of June to supply six vacancies in the Le
gislature, on which occasion disturbances ensued
of so serious a nature, that the government was
compelled to issue an order for its suspension.
Most of the parishes obeyed the order, but one
persevereu aim conunueu me pou open uum us

The government is said to have received no
| tire of a revolutionary movement in the Province
of Cordova; and that in the country districts of
(list Province, Commandant Castillo has assem
bled a considerable number of militiamen, in op
position to the Government.
The papers contain the outline of a report on
the subject of marriage between Catholics and
Protestants by “ the Senate of the Clergy,” in
answer to a note of the Bishop and Apostolic
Vicar of Buenos Ayres requesting their opinion
"f his powers to dispense with the existing im
pediments. Their opinion was favorable to the
exercise of such power, and the spirit breathed
through the report is of a highly liberal descrip
tion. The following allusion is made to this
country in the report:
“ Reflecting men have often been astonished at
the spectacle which the United States presents,
•here the Government has not the least influ
ence in religious matters, and where there are
such a variety of religious sects, among whom
■narriages continually occur, and yet public and
domestic peace are not in the least disturbed
thereby; decidedly proving that public peace can

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
Mr. Snowden:—In pursuance of a resolution
of Shipwrights and others, passed on the night
of the 7th instant, I send you for publioition a
copy ot the Address of Mr. Charles Vr. Car*
pentrr, Chairman of the Committee who pre
sented Capt. James Gut, of the Steamboat Cyg
net, with a Flag, as a token of respect: also, a
copy of Capt. Guy’s answer to the Chairman—
and hope you will comply with the resolution by
giving them publicity.
Robert Tealen, Sec’y.
In consequence of repeated acts of courtesy
and kindness on the part of Capt. James Guy,
of the Steamboat Cygnet, extended to the Ship
wrights working in this town, they determined,
as a token of their respect, to present him with
a handsome Flag. Accordingly, on the 7th, they
waited on Capt. Guy, and upon presenting the
Flag, their Chairman accompanied it with the
following address:—
Sir: Having been appointed Chairman of the
Meeting of Shipwrights in Alexandria, it has
devolved on me to perform this pleasing duty. I
am sensible that 1 have neither words nor utter
ance sufficient to express the high opinion in
which you are held by the Shipwrights and citi
zens of this town. Adulation and flattery may
for a time please; but sterling virtues when unit
ed in one, possessing in an eminent degree the
many other qualities which are indispensable to
a Shipmaster, induces us to present to you this
Flag as a token of our approbation and our es
teem for your personal worth. Accept then,
Sir, this memento of our regard, not for its in
trinsic value, but from a sense ot duty. May
it long continue to float proudly over the broad
waters of the majestic Potomac, and as an or
nament to that boat which you have the honor to
command.
To which Cant. Guy replied, as follows:—
Gentlemen: The same emotions of gratitude
which have prompted you to after, prompt me to
accept, this token of your regard for me as master
of the Steamboat Cygnet. I cannot find words
to express the grateful sensations of my heart,
for the kindness you have exhibited upon this
occasion. This will be a new epoch in the his
tory of my life as a Shipmaster, never to be for
gotten. I most assuredly appreciate your mo
tives, as a body of Shipwrights, to signalize me
as the object of your esteem; and so long as I
continue to navigate the majestic waters of the
Potomac River, I shall endeavor to merit the
confidence of my fellow citizens. This Flag,
this token of your respect, shall henceforth con
tinue to display its radiant beauties at the color
mast head of the Steamboat Cygnet, and never
will 1 cast my eyes towards it without the most
enlivened emotions. Accept, then, my sincere
thanks, and my prayers to Heaven for your wel
fare and happiness.
To the Editors of the National Intelligencer.
Gentlemen:—For the information of those
who wish to make an experiment on the Tripsa
cum Dactyloides, so fully and favorably mention
ed in the National Intelligencer of this morning,
under the name of Gama Grass, I can inform
sach, that it is now to be found, growing in abun
dance, on the farm of Mr. R. B. Mason, at the
south end of the Potomac Bridge. This plant I
discovered several years since, during my botani
cal rambles, at that place, and endeavored to
draw public attention to it, as a valuable fodder,
finding that horses ate it in preference to any food
near them. This grass is also valuable in bind
ing together loose blowing sands, and would
therefore be of great use on farms bordering on
the seacost and rivers which are washed by heavy
rains and floods.

The Tables Turned.— Every body will recol
lect the Congressional Committee appointed to
j investigate the affairs of the Bank of the United
' States, and the course that Committee pursued.
They pried into the private concerns of indivi
' duals, and published sundry of them as tainted
I with corruption and bribery, because they had,
; in the course of their business, been obliged to
borrow largely of the Bank. Tbe Chairman of
that Committee, it will also be recollected, was
the Honorable Mr. Clayton, of Georgia. He was
the most active and efficient in the inquisition in
to private concerns. Well, it has so happened,
»* in the course of human events,” that this iden
tical gentleman, for good and fair reasons, we
have no doubt, has been obliged to borrow mo
i nev also, and tn borrow, too, of this same Bank
I of the United States, with which for a member of
' Congress or a printer to deal, he held to be rank
i corruption. Forthwith, some one, more disposed
l to revenge than charity, turned the argument of
the honorable gentleman upon himself, and ac
1 cuaed him of corruption—of having been bought
up by the Bank! ihe inference, upon the gen
( Neman's own principle, was irresistible. He
' must have been bought—he could not deal with
; the Bank, in his circumstances, without being
! corruptly influenced. So it was maintained —
But what does the gentleman himself say? How
' does he like the application of his own argument?
Why is he very indignant at it? He cannot find
words to express, in becoming terms, the “scorn”
he feels for such *• heartless illiberalily.” And
the gentleman is right—perfectly right. Such a
mode of reasoning is most heartless—and de
serves the scorn and execration of every honest
man. And we sincerely hope it may forever
cure the Hon. Augustus S. Clayton of all pro
pensity hereafter to judge of his fellow men by a
rule which he finds so harsh and unjust in its ap
plication to himself.—Aetv Jersey Fredonian.
“ Go it Jerry!”—A horse, with saddle am!
bridle, was recently found without a rider,
wandering near a country trvern in Ohio. Search
having been made, the gentleman owner, very
essentially drank, was found mounted astride on
avail “kicking and spurring most furiously,”
cursing his supposed pony fur not moving for
ward. Having become a little sobered, he
discovered his mistake and dismounted, to the
no small amusement of the bystanders.

It is but a few davs since we received this ve

us. lliere is no American publication that we
know of, which contains the same amount or in
formation upon this subject, brought within such
a reasonable compass. The translation is by Dr.
Lieber, of Boston, the Editor of the Encyclope
dia Americana,—who hat given with it a copious
introduction, notes, and other additions.
The prefatory note concludes with the follow
ing complimentary passage to such Americans as
the Commissioners became acquainted with in
their travel* ir» this country. We copy it for it*
delicacy and courtesy:—Balt. Amer.
*» it the results of our investigations shall be
deemed valuable, it ia chiefly owing to the gene
rous hospitality with which we were received in
the United States. Every where in that coun
try, establishments of all kinds were thrown
open to us, and all necessary materials were fur
nished with a readiness which awakened in us
the liveliest reelings of gratitude.
“ The importance of our mission was under
stood in Amerca, and the public functionaries of
the highest order, as well as private gentlemen,
vied with each other in facilitating its execution.
** We have had no means of manifesting our
sense of so much kindness. But if this book
should find its way into America, we are happy
to think that the inhabitants of the United
States will find here a feeble expressiou of our
heartful gratitude.”
