a great monopoly, regulating at its will, the

dangerous to the liberties of the people;
since there is nothing in the charactei of Mich
an institution by which it is rendered less
liable to excessive issues, depreciated paper
and suspensions than the State insiitu ious:
and recent experience confirms the be
lief. 3. Resolved, Tint th recent conduct
of the banks, in suspendingspecie pay menis,
and particularly of the United Sa'es Hank
in setting the example, and then e .deav
oring to force all the others to follow its
iniquitous course, is so conclusive a proof
of that faithlessness and irresponsibility,
l hut it would be the height of folly to entrust
to their custody the funds of the govern
ment. 4. llcsolved, That we cordially concur
with Mr. Van H.:reii in the great aod lead
ing measure of his administration The
Independent Treasury, which wc believe
to be in truth, a great measure of deliver
ance and liberty to die pioduring interest
of the whole-nation; and particularly of ihe
Sou:h. We will therefore, render it
our sincere and hearty support.
5. Jlesolvcd, That we nave the fullest
confidence in the firmness, integrity and
ability of Mr. Van Huren; and view with
hi-h gratification his determination to re
s;ore the government to the republican pu
rity of its early day s; that in our opinion,
a total divorce of the government Iromah
collection with ihe banks would go lar in
producing that effect.
6. Resolved, That we request the de

to co-operate with us in earnest exertion at
this time, and congratulate them on the
recent triumphs of democracy in our own
and other Stales, as a cheering evidence

Th? Negroes. The leading papers in
NVv York speak indignantly of the arrest
of Messrs. Monies and Ruez and their in

pe so .a! violence and abuse they received
from Cioqu zan 1 his fellows, to be thus

bo nin mly wicked. The negroes can be

negroes as his own. and exacts from him
the strictest subserviency compelling him

well-meaning people in the fate of these

Monday s.iys: We learn that the ship
Noble, at New York from Leghorn,

these tiees from the hold of the ship, some

O i Wednesday evening at the thca're, at
ihe close of thy first act of tiie French Spy,
in the comb it Mr. Stone who was playing
Col. Co irey, fell in such a manner
to injure himself very seriously, and it
was feared mortally, but he is pronounced
out of danger. It will be remembered
lhat a few months since, during Celeste's
engagement, Mr. Lowe accidentally
killed himself in the same scene. When
Mr. Stone was removed to the green
room, I13 was placed on the settee on
which the unfortunate Lowe breathed his
last. .The pain arising from his hurt, the
sudden excitement from the association of
ideas, overpowered him, and he fainted.

Darkness at Quebec singular Phe
nomenon. The Quebec Canadian states
that on the forenoon of the I8lh October,
a darkness settled upon that city, which
rendered the uss of candles necessary for
several hours in the forenoon. The wind
blew from the East, but the darkened clouds
came from the West. The atmosphere
was moist. The same phenomenon oc
curred on the 1 7th of Ootobcr, 1834, and
on the 14th of October, 17S5.
Death from Starvation. How touch

the poor.' The Coroner of Philadelphia
was recently called to hold an inquest over
ihe body of Bridget Denning, who resided
in Pine si net, near the Schuylkill. Her
husband died in the almshouse a few weeks
ago, and the widow was found dead on
the floor of her premises the house bare
of all the common necessaries of life,
her only companions a daughter of S years,
holding in her arms a child about 2 years of
age exhausted and emaciated, worn down to
a skeleton. Verdict of the jury, that she
came to her death for the want of medical
aid and the necessaries of life.

New Mode of Resuscitation from
Drowning. -Tiie New York Observer
cop es the- following from an English paper,
(ihe W'orcet'T Journal,) and the cause of
humaniu- ma' be suhsei ved by giving it
an extended circulation: -Al the annual
meeting of the Hristol (Eng ) Humane
Society the society's silver medal wa-.
presented to Dr. Fairbroihet', of Clifton,
for his exertions in recovering a boy who
had been under the water in floating har
bor a quarter of an hour, and another quar
ter of an h dir had elapsed before the
doctor could operate on the body.
The most remarkable feature in this
case is, the new mode by which Dr. F.
succeeded in his laudable object, namely,
by closing the mouth with his finger, suck
ing off ihe foul air from the lungs through
the nostrils, and promoting respiration by
pressing on the abdominal muscles on the
sides. The usual method is to inflate the
lungs; but it is very seldom that persons
are recovered by this method, if they have
been longer than a few minutes under vva
ter."
si strange case of Bigamy. In S pt?m
ber, a Liverpool paper informs us, the
police in Bury apprehe ided a man named
Thomas Sharrocks, ofHury, overlooker of
power looms, on a charge of Bigamy, and
he was fully committed to the New Ba ley
to take his trial at the quarter sessions.
Ti e facts are, perhaps, the Strang st conn;c
tedwitha ciseof big my on record. About
four years ago, Sharrocks married his first
Wife, He ty Hibbert, at R idcliffe, and it ap
pears tnat they lived together comfortable.
It seems, however, that he thought an
other wife would make his happiness
and his household complete; and he ac
cordingly sueveeded in persuading a young
woman, "aged about IS years, of prepos
sessing appearance, unknown to her parent
to become his second wife, and they were

actually p iiled her o.vn wedding tir.g from

When the mm was apprehended,
he and tha two wives were living v rv
comfortably together, all the poties ap
parently unaware of the degradation to
which they were reduced, for on the appre
hension of Sharrocks, his wives 'th mg;.! it
was hard that the law shod 1 interfere With
them if they were comfortable." After
Sharrocks had been committed, and h ui
been removed to the station, he was visa
ed byr both his wives; and the fellow there
boasted that no man ever had two hclte;
wives at once, and that when he ca:re
back he would stick to tl.em thro' hfe, and

Ji buried City discovered in Peru.
The captain of an American vessel, named
Ray, has lately discovered, on the coast of
Peru, in tha
ancient buried city, of considerate extent.

which he made, he found the walls of the
edifices still standing, and many of them in
a state of complete preservation. He in
fers, from the number and extent of them,
that the population of the city could not
have been less than 3,000 souls.
Great numbers of skeletons and mum
mies, in a perfect state of preservation,
were found among the private and sacred
edifices; and a great number of domestic
utensils, articles of furniture, coins, and
curious antiquities. The earthquake, by
which it would appear the city was cngul
phed, appears to have surprized the inha
bitants, like those of Pompeii, in the midst
of their daily avocations; and many of
them were found by Capt. Ray, snugly
preserved, by the exclusion ef atmospher
ic air, in the precise action or employment
of the mom nt when overwhelmed. One
man, standing upas if in the act of escap
ing, w;is dressed in a light robe, in the
folds of which, coins were found, which
hive been sent to the scientfic institution
of Lima, for investigalion. A female was
also found sitting in a chair, before a loom
which contained an unfinished piece of
cotton stuff, which she was in the act of
weaving. The cotton stuff (which is
of a gmdyT pattern, but very neatly fabrica
ted,) is about eight inches in diameter,
and appears to have been only half com-
ipleled. A great number cf antiquities and
' curiosities, found in this American Hercu-
laneum grave, have been sent to the muse

53" A young woman Margaret Moyes
killed herself on the 1 91h September, by
leaping from the top of the Monument
in London. Of course she was dash
ed to pieces. Pecuniary distress and ap
prehension were the causes as was sup
posed. Only one other instance of sui
cide in this manner has occurred; it was
in lfSlO, when a diamond Merchant nam
ed Levi, threw bin. self from the top of
the Monument and was shattered to frag

last week an aged widow and pensioner,
boarding at Mr. Reuben Eldridge's, went
out to fas 1 en the front gate, and as she came
in saw an animal pass her which she mistook
for a rat. It followed her to her bedroom
&. after the light was extinguished it crawl
ed on Ui the bed. Not desiring company
she put out her hand to drive it away, but
the animal showed fight and bit her fingers
Her cries aroused the family, who came
with a light to her assistance. On open
ing the door, they discovered standing
by the bed as fine a looking and as gentle
manly a skunk as ever walked c n four
legs. He had no idea of being driven
from so comfortable quarters', and resisted
all attempts at finable expulsion. At
last they set the light on the entry fkor,
and Mr. Skunk marched up to it. The
light was then removed to the parlor, and
the skunk followed and in this manner he
was gallanted through the parlor, sitting
room and wash room, and as it was thought,
out of doors. 1 hey then rethed, believ
ing they should hear no more of their unwel
come gue t. Not se, Mr. Skunk held
possession of the wash loom. Hearing
him again, they got up, cn I conducting
him fairly out, bade him good nigh'.
