^ALEXANDRIA:
dORNING, MARCH 20, 1834.
EULOGIUM ON MR. WIRT.
Mr Southard delivered a most able and elo
nt eulogium on the late Mr. Wirt, in the
a*ii of the House of Representatives, on Tues
Hal ight last. The Hall was crowded to over
day n‘®1 T. a(jdress is spoken of in the high
MARYLAND.
The Legislature of Maryland terminated its
,nlar annual session last Saturday, at mid
reg,. or rather on Sunday morning at one
“•'6iock the sitting having not finally termina
“7 til the latter hour, when the Governor at
;ed d an(j signed the engrossed bills; after
TUch the session was closed.
' the Annapolis Republican, speaking of the
late session, says.
nleasant to be able to record, as it was
tifvinvto witness, the cordiality with which
timbers however differing in opinion, and
7- ,iu’rincr eleven week’s session, either
** nationally, or politically, yet, on the
Darting, mingling in mutual harmony
e,e/lo% feelings. Indeed, during the ses
an„ nothing like the deep asperity of party
?°u,rv and party animosity, which we have
Retimes witnessed, marring the kinder and
l iberal sentiments of honorable men, were
,Now and then a party movement
I", instigated by the hotspurs,or the malignants,
SESS with1the mass, but the body was ev
. reluctant to the movement, and several
•mes subjected their leaders to the mortification
IMitrs 3u j nr rptrann.cr their
movements. Even on the question of the De
*°Ls it was well understood that repeated un
lin^ attempts were made to marshall the
■ inaioritv by caucuses, &c.-and the resolutions
finally adopted by them, after two nights cau
c "in* had to be so modified as to avoid ap
nrovino’ of the removal of the Deposites from
1 {he United States Bank, or they would not have
• nassed Even when so modified, it was but by
the last and utmost efforts of party discipline
:hev were carried—and had the gentlemen who
• were absent at the moment of taking the vote,
been in the house and voted, the result would
• have been doubtful.—It was evidently a despe
rate—dying—effort.” _
A NEW PROJECT.
i The Washington Correspondent of the New
?York Evening Star says:
“It is now understood that we are to have
another movement for effect. Mr. ilkins of
(Pennsylvania is to offer a project for a new
hank, the only feature of which, that is known,
is, that the mother bank is to be Located in Alex
andria in this district. to overcome all the scru
ples which some have of the constitutional 1 ight
to charter a bank. And it is further rumored,
that notwithstanding all the declarations of the
President that he is against any bank, or pre
tended scruples of the leader and manager, Mr.
Van Buren, that both will express, through Mr.
Forsyth, the organ, their entire approbation ol
the plan "
This will be considered curious news in these
parts. We give the paragraph for what it is
worth, expressing our opinion that it is entirely
incorrect. ___
The report is, that Mr. Bouldin (Jackson) has
been elected to Congress from the Charlott*
District in Virginia, over Mr. Tucker, (Anti
Jackson.)
Mr. Wirt is said to have left his reasons foi
; becoming the Anti-Masonic candidate at th<
last election for President.
The New York Star says:—The ten millioi
monster introduced in the Legislature of the
State by Mr. Senator Kemble, as a salvo to the
disinterested opponents of the U. S. Bank here3
has been suddenly withdrawn. The proposition
threw the safety fund Commissioners into a fit
, oi the ague.
Massachusetts.—A bill i3 before the Legisla
ture of Massachusetts, to provide for an altera
tion in the Constitution, to reduce the number
of Representatives, which now consists of about
wren hundred members. Boston alone is enti
tled at present to send sixty-six.
it is some time since we have heard of Mr.
John C. Weems, who formerly represented the
adjoining Maryland district in Congress. Our
Baders, perhaps, recollect what a furious Jack
5°n man he used to be. We observe in an ac
-ount of a meeting of the citizens of Anne
Arundel, held last Saturday, that Mr. Weems
spoke in favor of the restoration of the Depo
ses.
Still, however, avowing his contined personal
partiality for the old General, and charitably
imputing his conduct in relation to the removal
ol thedeposites, to honest, but mistaken mo
aves. He depicted the great and increasing
distress that prevails, in animated terms, and
%fnS?red in severe language the conduct of Mr.
'wK:m, in relation to the Baltimore memorial,
upon the supposition that the report of the com
c ?ltlee was true, which he neither affirmed nor
denied”
n betters from London to January 31st say that
'Otnschild bad shipped $560,000 in specie on
v packet ship Sampson, and would pro
KY follow it up by other shipments.

The Voice of the Majority!—Since the adjourn
ment of the General Assembly, a portion of the
majority detained in Richmond, have prepared
an address under the signature of “ The Voice
of the Majority.”
Had the entire majority seen it, we have little
doubt they would have Unanimously approved
it, and we feel at liberty to announce the Ad
dress as that of the Majority of the General As
sembly, on the portentous measures of the Fed
eral Government, to their Fellow-Citizens.

The Locomotive Engine “Appomatox” on
her last trip from Blakeley to Petersburg, (60
miles) brought, in six hours and a quarter, (in
cluding stoppages every ten miles) a train con
sisting of two coaches, the mail car and sixteen
wagons, laden with 105 bales cotton, 30 hhds.
and 38 boxes tobacco, which loading, including
passengers and the mail, weighed not less than
100,000 pounds. The greatest ascent of the road
is 30 feet in a mile.—Petersburg Int.
A late Paris paper mentions a singular case
which lately came before the police. While
Mons:-was amusing himself in the galleries
of the Palais, he observed, w’hen carelessly
looking over some pamphlets at a bookseller’s
that a suspicious fellow stood near him. He
pretended not to notice this, at the same time
taking out his gold snuff-box, and returning it
to his coat pocket. Shortly, when the crowd
was pretty numerous about him, he felt some
one at his coat; of a sudden he turned about and
seized the fellow’ by the ear—then wTith a pen
knife, which he held in his other hand, cut it off
close to the man’s head!
All this was accomplished in an instant; and
the pickpocket roared out murder! quite lustily,
at the same time throwing down the snuff-box.
“There’s your ear!” exclaimed Mons.-,
throwing it at the fellow’s feet, and picking up
his snuff-box.—-The spectators were convulsed
with laughter.—A policeman soon made his ap
pearance, and took the one eared man into cus
tody.
