\ memorandum on a way-bill from Wash
ington, Indiana, states that Mr. Charles Slade, a
member of Congress from Illinois, died about
4-i<sl,t miles from that place, while on his return
home. Mr- Slade was a native of this place,
arid many of his triends and connexions reside
in this neighborhood._
Mr. Gibbs, the President of the Union Bank
of Tennessee, cautions the public against pur
chasing or receiving certain State Bonds origi
nally assigned to the Bank of Maryland, and
uhich that Bank assigned to the Union Bank
,f Maryland. These are the famous Tennes
M-e Bonds, about which so much has been said
, j connexion with the name of Mr. Ellicot, the
late President of the Union Bank of Maryland.
Since writing this paragraph, we have seen
tlie following in the Baltimore Gazette:
••On Saturday last, General G. W. Gibbs of
Tennessee, now in this city, was arrested a-, the
-mt of the President and Director* of the i a.on
It ink of Maryland, in an action claiming >' «m
to the amount of 8500.000, in consequence
an advertisement published by him in the
morning papers and may be seen in the Gazette
of Saturday, in which all persons are cautioned
i!.<t to receive assignments of the Bomls'holdby
the Union Bank. General Gibbs declaring
himself to be unprepared to give bail to the
amount of damage as required, was commited
s»aoi, where he remained, til! morning. The
circumstance becoming generally known, a
ui-vting of a number of respectable merchants
m l others was held at wliich it was determined
• > unite in giving the bail requiied, and about
• iirtv of them owning property worth three mil
lions of dollars, signed the Bail bond and effec
ted his release fiom prison.”
It. Mickle, Cashier of the Union Bank of Ma
ryland. has published, by authority of the Board
„f Directors of that institution, a aeply to Ger.
cliobs’ Advertisement. The Bank excitement
continues to prevail in Baltimore.
Win. Gwynn, E*q., the late proprietor and
able editor ofThe Baltimore Gazette, has sold
hi, establishment to Mr. Win. Gwynn Jones, and
retired from the station w hich he has filled for
the last twenty-one years, with credit to himself
and*advantage to the public. Mr. Gwynn will
probably, hereafter, devote himself exclusively
to the practice of his profession as a lawyer.
We welcome his successor as a member of the
. jitui ial corps, while we regret the loss of his
predecessor.
Mr' Leigh is extraordinarily abused in the
Globe, following, in this, the lead of the Rich
mond Enquirer. The Administration will leave
no*stone unturned to prevent Mr. Leigh’s re
election. Putched-up instructions from differ
ent counties to their delegates will be prepared.
Every expedient will be tried —but—in vain!
Mr McLane, the lute Secretary of State,
with his family, left Washington on Monday in
the steamboat for Baltimore, on his way to his
residence at Wilmington, in Delaware.
The Vice President le>t Philadelphia for New
York on Saturday moruir.g. During his short

zens, and at his departure was loudly cheered
by a concourse of his ft tends, who had assem
bled to testify their respect for the “ Rejected
of the Senate.’’ He was accompanied by the
lion. C. C. Cambreleng.
The Hon. John Forsyth, Secretary of State,
arrived in Philadelphia on Saturday afternoon,
and has taken lodgings at Swords’ Philadelphia
House, Chesnut street.
Mr. Taney was to make hi?'public entry in
Baltimore about 3 o’clock on Monday last. We
learn from the Republican that the committee
of reception were “ to assemble at the Three
fan Tavern (corner of Pratt and Pace streets)
at 2 o’clock, and thence proceed on horseback,
;coompanied hv such of their fellow-citizens of
t io c.ty and neighboring counties as may r.ink

H •/</ Region of Pennsylvania.-—It is stated
m the Lancaster Journal, that veins of gold
having large deposites, have been found in that
county, which are thought to be as rich as any
mine in the South.
We are much pleased to learn that the corres
pondence commenced by the merchants of New

.1 Clipper indeed!—The Boston Mercantile
-hUlrical of Friday, hears, the following testimo
ny to the fast sailing of
1 Baltimore Clipper.— The most remarkable
instance of rapid sailing recorded, is probably
’ >e ease ot the brig John Gilpin, of Baltimore,
•' thorough clipper of course, which vessel left
Ba.timore about two years since, and arrived
to Batavia after a passage of S2 days—proceed
ed irom thence to Canton and Manilla in 16 days
- from Manilla through the straits of Sunda,
roirid South of Mew Holland, to latitude 48
h'g. or 50 deg. to Valparaiso, in 85 days—and
h orn Valparaiso to Lima, in 6 days 17 hours—
’ inking an aggregate distance of 34,920 miles
;,t 18C» days, 17 hours—averaging a fraction
more than one hundred and eighty three miles
P'relay! .
" * have the above from an authentic source,
incredible as tt may appear, it may be re
i.«'d on as correct.
•" e have found amongst the toasts given at
one of the celebrations of the Fourth, the fol
mg allusion to a late event:
1’hf. Boston Boys; If they can't “Go the
> Hog," they can “ Go z-ilead.''
i The Reporter for the National Intelligencer
concludes a report of Mr. Wise’s (of Virginia)
speech on the Harbor Bill with the following
note:
“ Mr. W. said much more, which we are una
ble distinctly to report; for no sooner bad he
alluded to the Presidential question, than a
sound pervaded the Hall like that of a hive dis
turbed, and much of what he afterwards said
' was drowned and lost in the hum of private
conveisation.”
Mr. Wise is not the only man in the House
who finds what be says “ drowned and lost in
the hum of private conversation.” In the same
debate, Mr. Lane of Indiana said he was a
friend to the bill in totoj and he had voted to
lay it on the table only because he had appre
hended that the West had been treated unfair
ly. He must repeat his astonishment at the
course of the gentleman over the way, (Mr.
Hawes,) when his own Salt River—
Mr. Hawes. The gentlemen must not attempt
to row me up Salt River: it was Green River, not
Salt River, for which I moved an amendment.
Mr. Lane. Well, be it so. Green water is of
ten salt, and perhaps the gentleman’s Green Ri
l ver might, fronqits name, be included in the salt
water rivers, to which some gentlemen were for
confining their constitutional assent.
Sending a Challenge.—The Boston papers
i mention that Robert C. Hooper, was arraigned
| at the bar of the municipal court of that city on
Wednesday last, on an indictment for sending
! a challenge to fight a duel, in January last, and
' pleaded not guilty. The case had been conti
; nued. and Mr. Hooper , held to bail in the sum
j of $1000, and two sureties for the same amount.
Tailors LooTi Out!—The annexed information
: we find in the Bath, Eng. Herald—if it should
prove true, we may expect in a short time, a
i lowering of the price of clothing. “ An ingeni
■ ous mechanic is niakinga machine for the pur
■ pose of sewing. It is to be upon the stocking
frame principle, and he has so far succeeded as
to form a straight strain, which when pressed
down, looks equally neat arid strong as if done
with a needle. Should the plan succeed gene
rallv, a suit of cloths, after they are cut out, may
be put together in one hour, by one man, with
the exception of working the button holes and
putting buttons on.
Burden's Boat — We learn that this boat is
about to receive a further alteration, which
will take several weeks to complete. Her wa
terwheel was considerably injured in her last
trip to Hudson. It was found too weak to bear
the enormous pressure of the engine upon it.—
Probably its diameter will be reduced. It is
said that her trip from Hudson to this city was
performed in two hours and three minutes, the
I tide being slack, and that no further doubt can
! exist of her ultimate success. She lies at West
; Troy, where crowds are attracted to view her.

j On Sabbath last, the 20th instant, Mr. Lincoln
Chamberlain, for a number of years a much es
teemed merchant and useful citizen of this town.
The loss of such a man will be felt by all who
knew him; while to his bereaved and afflicted
family, young in years, it can. never be repaired.
Yet they are not left comfortless: for though the
call was sudden, he had anticipated jts arrival,
and his end was peace. “ Blessed are all they
whom the Lord when he cometh shall find

At her residence in Frederick County, Va. on
the 13th of June last, Mrs. Elizabeth Griffin
Williams, in the 73d year of her age, daughter
of the late Colonel Leroy Peachy, of Richmond
County, Va.
To those who have known her, and partici
pated in the blessings such characters dispense,
a few words, not of panegyric, but such as merit
claims, will tell the general sorrow this dispen
sation of Providence has created. To a life ex
tended beyond the common lot ot humanity, was
added those social and Christian virtues, accom
panied with that sincerity to her fellow-beings,
and devotion to God, that, while we drop over
her grave the tear of sorrow, our hearts are
lightened of their griefby the reflection that a
life so long and so well spent, hasled to that hap
piness which is alone the reward of virtue. J.
