We find in the Gazette de France of 16th De
cember the following annunciation of the death
0f Bishop Duborg, formerly the Catholic Bishop
0f New Orleans:
The Archbishop of Besancon, that virtuous
elate and admirable model of 'Charity and to
leration, died in that city on the 12th inst. The
\bbe Guillaume Dubourg was born in St. Do
incro, 14th February, 1766. In 1815, he was
consecrated, at Rome, Bishop of New Orleans.
t 1826. he was made Bishop of Montauban;
and on the 15th of February, 1833, was elevated
to the metropolitan see of Besancon.
The New York American oi luesaay iasi
says:
“The comparative elasticity of spirits, which
our Commercial Community exhibits since the
„reat meeting of Tuesday last, and the appoint
ment of the Union Committee, is an indication, .
which, independently of the immediate and
positive good it produces is to be hailed as of
Irreat promise for the future.
° “The Banks of the city held a meeting last
evening with a portion of the Union Committee.
The Branch Bank was not represented—hav
ing declined, from consideration of the peculiar
position of the United States Bank in regard to
the government—from taking part in any such
deliberations.
“ We do not understand that any measures
were matured at this time.”
Sew Jersey Temperance. Convention.—A con
vention of delegates consisting of about one
hundred and fifty members, from various parts
of the State of New Jersey, assembled at Tren
ton, on Thursday last, ‘ to act in concert against
the common enemy of public and private hap
pines and prosperity.’
A Scene in the Senate.—Our Washington Cor
respondent alluded some days ago to a recent
occurrence in the Senate between Messrs. Web
ster and Wilkins. Other accounts and vari
ous versions have been given of it from differ
ent quarters, but we have seen none so graphic
as the following, from the pen of the correspon
dent of the Portland Advertiser:
Washington, Thursday, Feb. 16, 1834.
I came to the conclusion this morning, that
nothing of interest would raise in either House
of Congress to-day—for Mr. Wilkins is not re
markable as an orator or a thinker—but we had
a scene, which was interesting and exciting
enough. Mr. Wilkins’ head is not so clear as it
might be, though he is a fluent and not unplea
sant speaker—and in some of his allusions he
quoted some harsh phrase which he attributed
to the gentleman from Massachusetts.
Webster was engaged writing, but, hearing
“Massachusetts,” pricked up his ears, and ask
ed his neighbors what Mr. Wilkins had said.
They told him, and when Mr. Wilkins had de
scended from the nighty period in wmcn ne was
soaring, Webster exclaimed interrogatively, in
a low tone, “ the gentleman from Massachu
setts?” “Yes, the gentleman from Massachu
setts,” reiterated .ilkins: whereupon Webster’s
face began to lengthen, and his cloudy brow to
lower. “ You are mistaken, sir, I did not make
use of any such words,” was the reply. “ 1
noted it down at the time,” was the retort of
Wilkins.
“I cannot help it,” replied Webster, “the
words are not mine.” Wilkins persisted. Web
ster disclaimed, whereupon a scene arose, and
a verbal scuffle, and the combatants grew an
gry.
Webster looked like a thundercloud, and il
kins as mad as a bull dog. Wilkins held on,
and Webster called him to order. In the midst
of this, Wilkins quoted from Southard, and
Southard said he “had never said any such thing”
-whereupon the Senate and spectators all
laughed outright, all but Webster and Wilkins,
who went at it again, and were coming to an
angrier issue,—and the ladies of course were
threatening to faint, when Mr. Clay volunteered
bis service as a pacificator, and he came in
with his soft oily voice, and with a face full of
smiles, hushed the storm—calmed the waves and
brought Wilkins to a disclaimer in part, with
*hich Mr. Webster was satisfied. .
This over he left his own seat, went into the
area, and advanced toward Wilkin’s seat, and
in a voice quite audible, pleasantly said, “ Wil
kins, if you want to draw upon any of the Se
nate for harsh phrases, draw* upon me: I’ll ho
nor the draft.” Wilkins of course was amused
" itli this: good temper was restored. Wilkins
'vent on with his speech, and Webster with his
letter._

| Fraud on the Post Office.—We learn that se
I veral frauds have been recently committed on
1 the Post Office in this city. A check for $1000,
from Philadelphia, payable to the order of a mer
cantile house, was expected on the 4th inst. but
not having been received, inquiry was made,
which resulted in the information that it was du
! ly sent. One of the partners called at the bank
! on which it was drawn on Saturday last, and
found that it had been presented and paid on
| the 5th, having on it the forged endorsement of
I the firm. Another draft in favor of the same
house, for $2000, payable at twenty days sight,
is also missing. Since then it is found out that
other merchants have been defrauded in the
same way. The letters containing these drafts
i have been taken from the Post Office, either here
or elsewhere, in the names of the merchants to
whom they were addressed, doubtless by some
accomplished rogue.—A'. Y. Com.
Stocks.—We notice a further advance this
day on almost all descriptions of stock upon the
1 sales of yesterday. Bank stocks generally have
I run from 1 to 2 per cent.: in some instances
j more. Insurance companies about the same.

ON Tuesday morning, between Fredericks
burg and my plantation, in the tipper end
of Stafford, a NEGRO MAN, and the MARE
on which he was riding, both belonging to me,
were stolen by a man who seems to have been
a stranger in this part of the country. When
seen in possession of the Slave and of the Mare,
he was inquiring his way to Stafford Court
House. He is described to me as a person be
tween fifty and sixty years of age, with re
markably white hair; his stature stout and well
set. He wore a brownish colored stuff cloak.
The negro is between twenty-five and thirty
years of age, as well as is remembered; stout in
. his person, and about five feet ten or eleven in
1 ches high: has a drawling manner of talking,
| and appears to He much iess sagacious than he
really is. His name is Jack. His dress was a
; blue cloth cap, a grey great coat, and his under
clothing drab cloth.
The Mare is a fine large sorrel, without any
spot of white about her, unless perhaps there
may be some few white hairs in the centre of
the forehead, not covering more than the size of
a four-pence-halfpenny. She is, as well as is
recollected, going on seven years of age; is re
| markably long in her body; has a long tail, and
it is remarkable where it joins the rump. There
may be discerned in the film of one of her eyes
an incision which was made a year or two ago
to cure the hooks.
One Hundred Dollars Reward will be given for
therecovery of the above Slave and Mare, or in
the proportion of four and two for the recovery of
either. JNO. TAYLOE LOMAX.
