When his flint, however,struck the steel ot old Kentucky, the fire flew. Mr. f'uy expressed, anew, and in better tcim^, his* scorn and contempt tor his opponent. I he dispute closed, and, 1 presume, will not be re in wed there or elsewhere.

Jan*. 25, 1540* The HrscAEua Sisgkrs.—'We perceive by the advertisement, that the “Hungarian! Singers,” are to perform here on Monday niulit. These famous musicians have attract ed attention wherever they have gone. Those who have heard them, say, that “their style of; singing is very peculiar, and unlike any thing ever before heard in this country. 1 heir imi tation of various musical instruments, the ■ richness and clearness of which they actually surpass with ibeir voices, is truly astonishing.! Any one listening to the sound produced by them, and at the same time, not seeing Ihe per | formers, would suppose the notes to proceed , from those instruments played upon by extra ! ordinary accomplished masters.” 1 A critic, speaking of the four singers, says, “Leibesteiifs music is all on the falsetto; and 'such a falsetto—sweeter and more mellow | tlian the flute, like pearls dropping inton sound j ing vase. The distant echo managed by Ro- | ^sen is very beautiful and effective. KalnVs i superb bass is a subject of wonder and ad mi ! ration, so flexible, full, round, and smooth, no art can rival it. Asa whole, the performance blends so exquisitely the vocal and instrumen tal, that it forms a melody at times, more rich and musical by far than any thing we have lever heard of before.” i ! The Georgetown Advocate, speaking of a ! rumor, (without foundation,) concerning the : British Minister and the North-eastern !* mn ! darv, says that Great Biitain could only have ! resorted to the measure, “with the intention I of frightening us into measures, knowing that | we have an imbecile and weak-minded Presi dent, who it is well known, both at home and abroad, has not the requisite spirit or ability to sust ail) the rights of his country *’ We entirely dissent from any such conclu sion, nor is the President o! the l mted States, looked upon in Great Britain, in any such light as is here represented. So tar bom being “im becile or “weak minded,*’ all know tnat Air. Van Purer, is a shrewd, sagacious man; and we are well convinced that ns be has the : “ability,” ;;o he will exhibit the “spirit” to sus ! tain the rights of his country, whenwer they mn v require defence from the Executive. Po iiitical hostility cannot justify the use of the i language which we have just quoted, when ap | plied to the Chief .Magistrate of the nation in connexion with a dispute with a Foreign Pow er. _____ Distuut Banks.— In the Senate, on A\ cd- | nesdav, Air. Taivax inquired of the Chairman | of the Committee for the District of Colum 1 bia if he was about to make a report in n la 1 lion to the Banks of the District of Columbia, ; within a short period, as he he hail a measu e ' to otier connected with that subject. Air. At name k said he could not say exactly at what time the Committee would be ready 1 report. The matter had beer, before the Com ! mittee. Some of the Banks had asked for a • renewal of their charters, and ot.icrs had not yet done sc. Mr. Tutav then gave notice that he would, some time hence, bring i* a bill to regulate the issues of (lie Banks of the District of Co lumbia. _ 1 U. States Bv.nk.— The Harrisburg Repor- j j ter, which has been rabid tor a year past, on | the bank subject, appears to le quite confi ; dent that the bill now before the State Legis lature, for the repeat of the charter of tlie U. States Rank of Pennsylvania, will become a ! ; law*, ft says the bill will pa;s both Houses, 1 and w’ill receive the executive signature. I The Philadelphia North American also : leans to the same opinion. That is, it expres es the opinion that the attempt now* making m ! the Legislature to ‘‘declare the charter of (he C. S. Bank forfeited,” will prove successful. The ‘‘Repealers’* must be aware, we should [suppose, that the question of forfeiture, is at I last to he decided by the courts of law, tlie Supreme Court in the last resort : and their declaration of forfeiture, though it might do ; rreat imurv to (lie credit ol the State, asslrew ■ ing the opinion of its Legislature, on the binn ing force ot contracts, would hardly weigh much, pro or con, with an independent judici arv. But is the Judiciary of Pennsylvania in ! dependent—its members being now dependent on the executive and Senate for re appoint ment? That is a problem, to be solved in the progress of events. * The Maine Boitouiy.—We find the fol lowing paragraph in the Augusta (Me.,) Age of the 1 till instant: o \ye understand that Governor Fairfield I has received, in renlv to bis letter to tlie Presi dent of the *23d wit., a letter from Mr. Forsyth, Secretary of State, by which it appears that, prior to the reception of the Governor's letter, tlie President had received in torn at on Irotu another quarter, of the hue move men! ot Brit- j ish Loops upon the disputed territory, and had : immediately made it the subject ol represen- j tations to the British Minister at \\ aslungton, j who is now in Correspond; nee w ith tlie f o;o- j ninl authorities upon die subject. A luitoer ; replv is soon expected by the Governor.” | The House of Pth gates of Maryland hav- j ing passed the Instructing Resolutions, tlie ; |Senate of the State promptly rejected the; same.

MR. CLAY AND MR. WALKER. ! After Mr. Buchanan had finished, in the Senate, his able speech in favor ol the Sub- , Treasury, Mr. Ciay rose to rrply, and said, in j the outset, that, although the game of “tiro pluck one” had been played against him, intended to confine himself to the grave and and momentous matters that had been pre sented on this side ot the ( hamber, (turning to Mr. Buchanan,) without passing over to the smaller concerns ot the other side, (Mr. Walker sits opposite.) The allusion creuted general laughter. Mr. Clay then went on ami reviewed, at length, Mr. Buchanan’s speech. Mr. Walker wished to speak as soon as Mr. Clay finished, hut Mr. Buchanan first caught the eye of the Vice President. Mr. Walker wished Mr. Buchanan to give way to him, anu backed the request by saying that he “had only a single remark to make.” Mr Buchanan evidently resolved not to he driven from the grave discussion which he had with Mr. Clay, replied rather sharply, that he had only n remark to make himself. After Mr.Buchanan had finished, Mr. Walk er rose, and referred, personally, to Mr. Clay, in terms of general disrespect, lie told lum that he looked upon him. now, as being so chagrined and mortified at recent events, that he was spitting his venom even in his dying agonies,&c., See, and followed up this re mark with other observations ol a like na ture. When Mr. Clay gnt the floor, he addressed his remarks chiefly to Mr. Buchanan; hut he took occasion 1o say in passing, that il he or any of his party presumed upon h:s age they would find themselves mistaken. 441 am, said he, “ never too old to repel impudence and impertinence, come lrom what quarter it may—or to respond to any application, which a man of honor has a right to make. Mr. Walker again rose, and said that il the Senator from Kentucky felt aggrieved hy any remarks fie had made, he was ready to re spond to any cal!, here or elsewhere. Mr. Clay instantly rose and exclaimed, Ji'*j;rievcd! Oil no ! no ! no, Sir,—I have no grief—1 can feel no emotion whatever at any tiling the Senator ran say. I only wished to say to him,that 1 am not too old to respond to the j applications of impertinence lrom whatever quarter they may come.” And here the matter ended.

Fatal Akkk w at Canton, Miss.—An af fray of a fatal natu e occurred a fcw^ days since otCantOii, Miss., between T.C. Tupper and Duval C.

The cause of the qutrre! was as tol jows: Tuaper.while on a visit to Harrodsburg Springs Ky., last summer paid his addresses to a young lady in the vicinitv and was accept ed. A few days before the marriage was to take place Cooke, who was also on a visit in the neighbornoood, stated t° the young lady’s friends that hpknewTupper well, that he was dishonorable, had gambled,and would not pay his debts. This report blocked Tapper’s game, and the marriage was broken tip. Oti meeting at the square in Canton, alter having returned home, Tapper made an at tack upon Cooke. At a close distance they discharged several pistols without effect—t icy | then clinched anti beat each other o\ei the : head with their pistols until the bystanders j interfered and separated them.
