J"f OR TH* ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE.j The following lines were suggested to the writer by seeing another ol our young and promising •net conveyed prematurely to the grave: Who is it rests beoeath the pall Ye are bearing to slowly awav? Upon whose.brow did the death-stroke fall? Wbat loved one did be slay? Is it the aged eye that sleeps Beneath that shadowy veil, W here death his ailent vigil keeps O’er the brow so cold and pale? Is it the form that slow decay Hath withered in Ha youth? Did sorrow on its fond hopes prey , And blight its dreams of truth? No—no; Mis one whose hopes were high; Whose bosom joys were bright. Oh! Death! why did thine arrow fly This opening flower to blight? His youthful heart was dreaming Of many a future day. His joyoui eye was beaming, And health did round it play. And now he has past to the spirits’ rest, As the rainbow fades from the skies. He has gone, we trust, to the land of the blest, As evening’s ro«e light dies. They have borne him to his silent grave, And autumn winds sweep o’er him, Spring breezes oft the grass shall wave - Au'd hearts will still deplore him. Thou vouthful one, at evening hour, Go where his ashes sleep, Pluck from his grave the first Spring flowci And o’er the emblem weep. Oh! gem the garland with thy tears That one so young hath died,— Blest with easn hope that life endears: A mother’s joy, a father’s pride. And when you mark the flowret’s bloom, How fast it fades awav, Oh! let the emblem teach thy doom: For soon thou must decay. ^—■— purpose of organizing the Washington Nations Monument Society, Daniel Brent, Esq. wa9 call ed to the Chair, and Peter Force, Esq. was ap pointed Secretary.

The meettn* then adjourned. D. BRENT, Chairman. Peter Force, Secretary. A gentleman just returned to Albany from the west, states that on Thursday last be travelled on runners from Oswego to Aoburn, and that the enow was from eight to ten inches deep. In some places on the route, apples were not gather ed and potatoes were still in the ground. A gentleman from Herkimer county informs us that there has been considerable snow in that county. On the 1st inst., the ice at Cincinnati, Ohio, was full three fourths of an inch thick.— iV. Y. Cons. Charles F. Afcrecr.—Thi* energetic friend of Internal Improvement seem* to have retained hit popularity in deapite of the petty malice of Jackaon and Eaton, and the aervile roeanneaa of the stockholder! who lately removed him from the Presidency of the Chesapeake ana j Ohio Canal Company, to gratify the wishes of i the Dictator at Washington, and hi* Kitchen Cabinet. Throughout the Union, the Public Presa not in the pay of the Administration, has but one sentiment in regard to the disgraceful transaction. The people of every State, the members of everv party, unite in denouncing it a« it deserve*. Mr. Mercer has men in the es timation of all.—while hi* successor seems, even io hi* own State, to have sunk deeper and deeper in the slough. In testimony of their high respect, for bis private worth and public services, the citizens of Charleston, Kanawha County, Va., and its neighborhood, lately invited Geo. Mercer to partake of a public dinner. We chanced, like Mr. M. to be in Kanawha, and was present at the entertainment. The company, both for num ber* and character, wai highly respectable, and the evening passed off to the entire satisfaction of all. The dinner was not considered a politi cal one; and men of all parties freely united in hunoring one, whom the iron hoof of Power had endeavored to crush from the vilest of motives, and by the worst means. We for one, must ever be opposed to the political principles and conduct of Mr. Mercer. Of these we have spoken with freedom, and will continue to de nounce while we can wield a pen. Our war against them allows of no armistice—we are at opposite poles in the political world. But stil he is an open enemi. and we know where to find him He is not of the school of Joab, which stabs whilst it salutes. Such hypocrisy is ex clusively monopolized by Van Buren and "that ilk'* We have not time to dwell on the speech ol Mr. Mercer. It is enough to say that it was • X _ itIAVO UP concise,—nappy »u ■*- —-J . were particularly pleased with the unaffected manner in which he transferred the compliments contained in the guest toast, to Chief Justice •Marshall. The speech together with the pro ceedings at the dinner, will be found in our pa per ot to day. . We cannot dismiss the subject without speak jng in terms uf merited praise of the polite and gentlemanly character of the sentiments offered on the occasion. Though the company included men of every party, from the Nullifier to the An ti secessionist, yet not a single toast was offered calculated in the slightest degree to wound the feelings of anv. or mar the general harmony.— The fact itself speaks volumes in favor of ths civility, correct feelings, and good sense of thi citizens of Charleston and if* vicinity. Pick. Jeffersonian. << There is a rumor in circulation, entitled to wi do not know what credit, that the Secretary o the Treasury has apprised the President that hi finds he cannot get along with his admimstratioi of the Finances, now that the Treasury is depn ved ol the services of the Bank of the Unite! States. It 14 even rumored that already the fol i ly of the change in the Government deposiles ha I become so apparent, that they are to be restored Our readers will not understand us as vouchinj . wwwrtwroirp floon another M'eEPel‘^ e them, we shall plainly fetT them so. For thi | present, we doubt whether the Treasury has ye had a taste of the quality of its new financial a gents; it happening very fortunately for the Gov eroment that there are funds still in the Bank o the United States tu be drawn upon. When thi ; time qpmes for draw ing on the pet banks, we shal I see how they will bear it, and how the Secretary • of the Treasury will get along with them. II Nat. Ini i _ i ') Rumors of rather ao unpleasant nature, havi reached this city respecting the condition of thi , money market in Philadelphia. The local banki find it difficult to pay the balances due the Banl . of the United States. And even one of the nee . favorites of “the Government”—notwithsiand , ing that it has been constituted one of the keep ers or the public treasure, round it tnconvemen to pay its debts a day or two since, and the go vernment itself was obliged to step forward to iti relief. The circumstances were these: Tht Girard Bank owed the U. S. Bank a balance ol two hundred thousand dollars, for which pay , mcnt was requested The Girard Bank prayed for delay, but the U. S Bank thought the debt had been long enough due, and declined the re quest. In this dilemma, oot being able to meet its engagements, the local Bank had recourse tc a draft from the Treasury Department, of 500, 000 dollars— which it seems had been prepared and procured for the emergency.—of course leav ing a balance in its own favor of three hundred thousand dollars—which the Mother Bank paid. The fact hen* to he noted is this: By an illegal removal of the deposites, “ the government” al ready finds itself compelled to resort to another ( illegal act to sustain the credit of its new depoa ite banks. So.that the public money is now being” used-not for the legitimate purposes of the government—not in payment of appropri • ations by Congress—but to enable the favorite ;ilGcal Banks to meat their engagements! Con Igress will have ‘*a searching operation” to per form.— H. Y. Com. Hon. James Barbour.—An interesting Me moir of the Life of this distinguished Virginian, i may be found in the Alexandria Gazette, of the 1 6th inSt. The article is chastely and forcibly ■ ! written, and is chdfricterised throughout by a 1 strict regard to facts, and to the life and charac ter of Mr- Barbour. It has been our fortune to stand opposed to Mr. Barbour. He had select ed one citizen as his choice for the Presidency— we another. , He was honest in his preference— and so were we in ours. These were in times, however, when such difference was permitted— and when the spirit of the Constitution, and of Liberty, allowed citizens to differ, and yet not hate one aoother. Hence we were never else than friends. There has been no alteration, at least, by statute, either in the Constitution, or in those legible lines which characterise Liberty— but only in men's practise under them. We subscribe to all that the Memoir sets forth in honor of Mr. Barbour. He is. indeed, an or nament to the Country, and an honor to his spe cies. It may be asked, what have we to do with Mr. Barbour? It is for the purpose of remark* ving upon (hit vary question,that wa hate spoken of him at all. • ... . We are too apt to make alieoa of tae best ci tizeos. We permit our feelings, in regard to men, to become circumscribed. If a citizan shall not happen to belong to our State, (we speak not of Pennsylvania only; the feeling is common to all,) no matter how elevate e may be in character, or how useful to the Country, we are too apt to think of, and feel towards him, as a stranger! We think this feeling ought to be corrected. That other feeling ahould be cul tivated which leads to the contemplation of any gif»ed and virtuous citizen, as the property oj the nation—and as reflecting no less honor by his acts, upon other States, than the one in which he may happen to have been born. Nothing is so fatal to our happiness as one oreat family, to the harmony ol its individual members, and to Liberty, as is that spirit which would set metes and bounds to our admiration of the great and good. .. . We are not of Virginia—but would not think ourselves dishonored in hailing from it, unless, indeed, we were allied to all ihe contradictions and somersets of the Richmond Euquirer. But though not of, or from N irginia, if we know our selves we feel as proud of her Washingtons, und Jeffersons, and Madisons, and Monroes, and Barbours, as though we hail drawn our urst breath, and lived all our days, in that State. It is in this view of the subject, knowing Mr. Barbour, as well as we do, that we rejoice to see sketches of his life and character placed before the public. All such sketches, when they relate to goodness and virtue, are useful—and they add to the stock of renown to which our great men have so largely contributed, to make our country glorious. We go for the American principle—not that which is sectional. •*/ am an American citizen, is the -proudest annunciation that an American can make—not I am a Virginian, or a Pennsylva nian, &c. tic.-rhil Com Her.

Ca2. Fhom Spain.—The brig Potomac, Capt. Hitchcock, which sailed from Gibraltar on the 1st ol October, has furnished Gibraltar paperi ! to the '28th of September inclusive The de i tails have reference, almost exclusively, to the progress and extent of the cholera.

Then 1 are probably from 12,000 to 15,000 insane per sons in the twenty four States. There were es ' donated to be 1,000 in Connecticut alone in the pear 18IS; and according to the census of 1835 Ih.r. IL-.r. din lun.ti.. „ „ ,1 MJ1 Irlnnta in V„.. York, which was considered by physicians mud 1 below the average. In this Commonwealth i ; has been reported to the Legislature, during th< current year, that in 68 towns, containing mud less than half the whole population, there wen 279 lunatics and ideots confined in jails, alms houses and houses of correction, or about-one o this class of the insane to every 1000 inhabitants There are 14 000 insane in England to a popu lation of twelve or thirteen millions, and it is be ‘ tieved that our proportion is greater than theirs. We speak of prompt application to the Hospi tal as of the utmost importance. As Dr. Brig ham, in his appendix to Spurzheim, observes, ai eminent physician, in his evidence before the Committee of Paaliament, in 1789, averred that nine out of ten cases of insanity recovered, if pla ced under his care within three months from the attack. Dr. Burrows stated in 1830, that of re cent casps under his care, 91 in 100 recovered; and in 1828 he adds, that the subsequent annual reports of various lunatic institutions, a nd his own wider field of observation confirm the above statement. In La Salpetiere at Paris, the pro portion of cures of recent cases was in 1806-7, according to Div Carter, almost as high as that of l)r. Willis, and according to Dr. Veitch*s offi cial statement to Parliament, nearly two of three of the recent cases were discharged cured, while i only five out of 152 old cases recovered. Very j similar results have occurred at that excellent es ; tablishment, the Bloomingdale Asylum in New. York, and at the Connecticut “ Retreat” duriog the first five years, of ninety-seven recent cases, eighty-six were cured. Prompt attention and prompt application, (at least for advice,) then, we repeat, are of the first moment. Mere con finement, or indiscreet management, and especi ally punishment of any kind, perhaps does more than any other cause to con^rm or create the evil it aims to relieve or remove.— Boston Mer. Jour. Boston, Nov. 8—In the Lectures which are : now in course before the Massachusetts Histori cal Society at the Athenseom Hall, at seven o’ clock every Monday evening; Mr. Sparks deliv | ered a lecture last Monday evening on the trea son of Benedict Arnold. This event in our his tory, has always been regarded as one of promi nent interest, and is generally known as one of the revolutionary war. 'The unaccountable depra it* of Arnold, and the fate of the gallant Andre, •re remembered by every one who know* »nything of history. But from the common history ot the country, one learns very little of the real causes, and motives, either of Arnold’s or of Andre s conduct. Mr. Sparks, having sought information from all sources, has been enabled to present tbie remarkable story, in lights entirely new, an<* give to the whole series of events, the charm tnat one some times finds in works of brilliaRt imagi nation, tho’ adhering closely to historical truth. He developed the whole plan, and even exhibited life very papers which were concealed on Andre s person, at the moment of his capture; and among them, the original past in Arnold’s handwriting. Henry Clay.—It is now upwards of thirty years since Henry Clay, then a friendless and , orphan boy, commenced his bright career of greatness and of glory. Since that perio ! find his honored name associated with all «• j elevated and noble in our national annals. His fame has penetrated to remotest parts, and wher ever civilization Iia9 extended or a friend of free-1 dom d wells, there the name of Clay is known and reverenced. The great wish of his heart has ev er been that the liberties of the people might be immortal. VVho can forget the flood of light that his capacious mind has shed opon all the momen tous questions that have agitated our country for more than a quarter of a century? Who can be hold the generous msn who has twice stepped forward, in the darkest hours, when the integrity of the Union hung upon a cast, and rescued her, without admiration? Who can look upon those great undertakings which have placed our coun try in her present prominent position amongst nations, and which continue to promote her hap piness, prosperity and glory, without a deep and abiding sense of gratitude towards their noble hearted author and supporter? Henry Clay be gan the world friendless and alone, without a patrimony, without any of those advantages which fall to the lot of a majority of youth; but by his talents, his genius, and his eloquence he has won for himself an exalted rank amongst the brightest and roost valued ornaments of our wide spread land. He has literally carved out hi* own for tune, ana reared iur imnseii » p*"— «■ honor anil renown. As the profound lawyer, the faithful representative, the unrivalled speaker, the dignified senator, the accomplished diploma list, the skilful secretary, the unsurpassed ora tor, the eminent politician, the incorruptible pa triot, the dauntless advocate of South American independence, the ardent friend of liberty, and the saviour of the Union, he has been successive , ly celebrated and honored throughout a long, a i brilliant, and illustrious career Albany Dai. Ailv Yankee Ingenuity —Some weeks ago, we spoke of a Yankee ‘corn-grinder lately Invented . which increased the corn in quantity as well as t in nutritive power,—* statement which aroused > the criticism and amusement of our friends, among . whom was the editor of the I ranscript, —but it i is true nevertheless,—as many witnesses are rea r dv to vouch. Now we have another Yankee in vention to speak of. We saw on Saturday at a . chaise manufactory in this town, a piece ot a > board, or rather a slice of bass wood, which was 5 sawed oft* by a saw lately invented by Mr. Job White, an ingenious mechanic in Belfast,—which > machine, as we are informed, is so constructed i a log in one piece, a9 a piece of cloth. The • saw works horizontally—and th^ board it'rolled . oft* on a cylinder. Its chief utility, we suppose i to be in the ability to make a wide board out of a small log. The Pannels, See are thus sold much cheaper. The boards, >»e presume, can be of . any thickness.— Portland Adv. I - i Interesting case of Somnambulism.—The fol . lowing facts were communicated to us by a phy sician of (his place, in relation to a case to which | he has been called professionally, and of which | he has been an eye witness: f A female about nineteen years of age, living | in a family in this town, is frequently known to ! rise fiom her bed during the night, while asleep, dress herself, and go about her daily employ ments. In several instances she has got up and set the table for breakfast, with as much regu ioniy ns sue urn's wnen a wane, selecting merignt i articles, ami placing them upon the table exactly ; as they should be. In one instance ahe went in i to the buttery, which was perfectly dark, skim med the cream from the milk, and poured it in i to one bowl, and the milk into another, without spilling any at all She frequently goes to the r‘ drawers where her clothes are kept, changes the position of (he articles, or takes them out, and in some cases has placed (hem where the could not find them when awake. In one instance she took i out her needle book, and it has not been found 1 since; but at a subsequent paroxysm, she was i found sewing, in the dark, a ring upon a curtain, with a needle and thread, which it was supposed, from several circumstances, she could have ob I tained from no other source but the lost needle , book. I This fact, together with other facts in the case, seem to show some connexion between the se j veral paroxysms, in regard to the trains of I thought; and also an analogy between this and ! some cases of insanity, where lucid intervals ! intervene. In all these instances she moves ; about the house with as much ease and self poi. session as if every thing was going on as usual, I avoiding persons and objects which are in her ' way, although her eyes are often shut. When in one of these paroxysms, she usually talks a great deal, and with much more fluency and vivacity than in her waking hours, and oc casionally upon religious subjects, so that the case may, in this respect, be somewhat anala gous to the sleeping preacher at Saybrook. One striking feature of this case it, that she is.gov erned in her language and actions by her dream ing thoughts or i magi nations, and all her impres sions from external objects are made to accord perfectly with these imaginations. For instance, ahe frequently supposes herself in some other place, usually her native place, and calls the Krsons around her by the names of persons who e in that place, and speaks with much interest of scenes and objects which ahe has seen there. If inquired of about persona and things in Spring field, particularly the family in which she lives, she knows nothing shout them. Nothing which can be said or done to her aeema to have the slightest influence in changing the current of her thoughts. All attempts to awaken her generally prove unsuccessful. At one time cold water was thrown upon, her, bat it had no effect, except to produce the exeU mation, “ why do yon want to drown rne?”—*n(j immediately ahe went to her chamber, changed her clothea, and came down again to her work. An emetic was given her (which ahe took, at the said, because the physician, whom she called her father, wished it) bot though it relieved her headache, it did not awaken her. It left to herself, she after awhile voluntarily goes to bed, and composes herself to sleep, bat remembers in the morning nothing which has transpired. When in the paroxysms, ahe usually suffers much pain in one aide of the head, her face is flushed, and her breathing so laborious and loud at to be heard in a distant room. She sometimes complains of the pain in har head; and in one in stance wished to have it opened to ascertain the cause. Her appearance usually indicates per fan health; but her general health is not good; and ahe is not the most subject to these parox ysms when she is more unwell than usual. She has been subject to there more or less for several years.—Springfield Gaz. Maryland State Lottery, Class No. 22 for 183®, Will be drawn in Baltimore on Saturday.
