J2n Honorable Door keeper. — We learn from
ihe Burlington, (Vt.) Sentinel, that the Hon.
Stephen Haight of that town ha* been appointed
assistant doorkeeper to the United State* Senate.
Although the annunciation is obviously intend
ed a* a left handed compliment, yet the honora
ble, the Doorkeeper’s assistant may feel very
saug in hi* new office; for, less than half the la
bor or responsibility, he will receive twice the
lalary of the Governor of Vermont.
Distressing.— On the afternoon of the 25th
ultimo, the house of Mr. Anderson White, of
Stafford County, .Va. was consumed by tire.—
The tire originated in the roof, and so rapid were
the flames, (the wind being high,) that it proved
utterly impossible to save any portion of its con
tents. _'____
The imprisonment of young Morton, in Bos
ton, has created quite a controversy between the
newspapers of Boston; also, at Montreal, a little
sharp shooting on the subject has taken place
one party contending that the authorship of such
a work as Misseritnus is a more flagrant offence
than the one for which he stands committed.

Hebrew Reform.—The Chief Rabbi, and
others of his persuasion who are learned in the
Hebrew law, have with the consent of the high
er authorities, laid down and promulgated a new
organixation for the celebration of divine worship
in'the Grand Duchy of Weimer. The service
is to be read in the German Language, with the
excepton of certain passages in the lhorab,
which are allowed tube read in the Hebrew for the
satisfaction of some of the more aged of the com
inunitv. Unmarried females are henceforward
to be admitted to join in the worship of their
Marker.
•• 7his breathing world”—It is stated in for
eign prints, that an ingenious Parisian has invent
ed a substance which, in color, firmness and elas
ticity, exactly resembles human flesh. That
he might display the virtues of his discovery to
advantage, he has modelled a figure of the Em
peror Napoleon, who is represented as reclining
on a couch, apparently asleep Tfte motion of
respiration is so closely imitated, as to give to
the fi»ure the appearance of breathing, as though
in a gentle slumber. Though this etfct is mere
ly raechancial, it is said greatly to assist the iliu
sion.
Recreation for the PeopleGreat interest is
excited m England by the Report of the Com
mittee of Parliament recommending the opening
’ of extensive public walks, terraces and thorough
fares in populous towns, for the exercise and re
creation of the poorer classes. Many of the old

h.d conseuated to this usage have been illegally
built upon, from the enhanced value of property,
and the all grasping spirit of lucre, which have
thus obliterated these breathing places, or lungs,
as they may be termed, of a densely populated
citv. that are preserved with such scrupulous
care in Paris and all Continental towns. _

Mr.,Snowden:—There is a sentiment, or ex
pression of opinion, id Mr. Polks s speech, well
calculated to alarm every thinking man in this
country: it is this:—4* fiv (General Jackson, the
President of the United States,) is above tpe
reach and power of any remarks made here, [in
ihe Congress of the United States, by the imme
diate representatives of the majority of the peo
pie 1” It is true that this is only a reiteration
of what has frequently been before asserted by
officers whose very existence almost depend up
on the President’s will, and by a venal pieas.
But when before has an independent representa
tive of the people so far forgotten what was due
to himself and to the nation, as to proclaim such
a sentiment in his place m the House of Kepre_
seotatives? It has been left for the champion of
44 the party” to make this degrading assertion.
Let this man worship become general, and give
an ambitious and designing President the purse
ant! the sword,—and, my 've shad
not be long without an EMPEROR. It is
time for the people to open their eyes*

Mr. Snowden:—\ have been informed that a
part of the money which was received from the
public at the late fair, and which, they were told,
was to be applied to the purchase of a library for
Christ Church Sunday* School, has been appro
priated to other purposes. I hope this is not
true. When l go to these fairs, sir, I certainly
do not lay out my money with the expectation “of
receiving an equivalent for it, but to aid the cha
rities which they may be pledged to promote;
and I do not at all like that what I intended, and
was led to believe, should go towards a specified
object, should be expended in aid of others, to
which I may be opposed. There can be no
doubt, that those who have the management of
the money received on such occasions have no
discretion in the disposal of it, but are as much
* trustees for certain purposes as the Managers of
\ • * • ** ^ r>#. y■ ." -
a Sunday School any other benevolent So
ciety.
These views, sir, are concurred in, l know,
by many who, like myself, have hitherto befriend
ed ladies’ fairs, and it depends upon this case
whether they will countenance them any longer.

The Clerk of the House of Representatives,
who is a ‘k whole porker,” has put in the places
of the under Clerk9 he has been pleased to re
form, a Jackson editor from New Hampshire,
and a Jackson editor from Pennsylvania. These
men verily have their reward.
I am astonished that every editor in the coun
try is not a Jackson man. They have received
more favors from the present Administration
than they ever before received since the founda
tion of the Government,—which, is one way, I
think, of preserving the purity of the press!

Unpleasant situation.—Yesterday, as Mr. John
Davenport, carpenter, was engaged at woik on
the roof of a house in Pearl street, his feet slipped
and the surface being wet, he descended till his
bodv passed half way over the eaves, at which
moment he had the presence of mind to seize firm
hold of the gutter, and retain it till a ladder could
be raised for his relief, when he was taken off,
without injury, though at the last point of ex
haustion.— Boston Post,
It 19 truly a remarkable circumstance that a
country in time of profound peace, with abundant
crops at high prices, and unusual health prevail
in", with every branch of trade in successful op
eration, should all at once be brought to a con
dition of universal pressure and alarm. In cast
ing about for the cause, no other, at all adequate,
appears, than the miserable tampering of the Ex
ecutive with the great financial engine of the
country; and that this is the cause, is now con
ceded on all hands. The proper remedy there
fore obviouslv is with Congress, and to it do the
people look anxiously and rightfully to restore
the deposites.—Newark /Jui. Jidv.

Hon. William Wirt, in the 31st year of her age.
At Twiford, in Westmoreland cy,, Va. (the re
sidence of his nephew,) on the 21st inst., after a
long and painful illness, which he bore witlVgreat
firmness and resignation, Gen. John P. Hun
geruord, in the 74th year of hi9 age. Gen.
Hungerford was an officer of the army of the Re
volution, and witnessed the closing 9cene of the
patriotic struggle of our fathers at York Town,
in Virginia, where he occupied a highly honora
ble and responsible post. He continued in the
army until the close of the war, and then retired
to the shades of private life, and to the enjoyment
of a small, but ample patrimony. He was not,
however, permitted to remain long in* retirement.
He was soon called upon by his countrymen to
represent them in the Legislature of the State,
where he served them long and faithfully. Ae
was afterwards a Senator, and a member of Con
gress, and discharged the various public trusts
confided to him, with credit to himself, and 9a
tisfaction to his constituents. There are few men
who possess those qualities of the heart, calcu
lated to endear them to the circle in which they
move, in a more eminent degree than did Gen.
H. Hi9 friendships were ardent and sincere.—
His conduct, on all occasions, open, firm and de
cided. A9 a public character, no man could
have had the more entire confidence of hi9 fellow
citizens. f n private life, none shared more large
ly in their affections. This tribute of respect to
his memory is paid by one who knew him long
and loved him much. , W.

A TRACT OF LAND
situated in Fairfax County, about 12 mile*
_from Alexandria, and one mile and a quarter
o.n Occuquan, containing, by the last survey,
497i ACRES OF LAi\D
This land is of good quality; about 400 acres of
vhich is well timbered, consisting principally of Oak,
mitable for building ships, erecting wharves, pumps,
kc. and would probably average 20 or 30 cords per
tcre, exclusive of timber. The land is not hilly or bro
ken, but presents a moderately waving surface, so that
tvery part is sufficiently level for cultivation. 1 here
sa fine stream of water running through it; its sima
:ion is healthful and beautiful, and by a system of good
husbandry, may become a delightful and profitable re
sidence. The improvements are inconsiderable, though
there is a SAW MILL convenient, for sawing plank
and scantling, which adds greatly to the facility of
building. To persona wLhing to enter into the Wood
or Timber business, thia would be a desirable purchase
The tract may be ao divided as to afford two produc
tive Farms, and will be sold on very reasonable terms.
If not sold before Saturday, the 7th day of Decem
ber next, I shall, on that day. offer it for sale, for cash,
to the highest bidder, at Cuts* Tavern, Vt est Fnd of
Alexandria, D. MINOR,
