SATURDAY, SEPTEMBKR 4, 18-11. Congress. 'The Land Distribution bill has not yet been signed by tire President. A bill has passed the House, providing 347,000 for the relief of the Post Office Department. The Globe Of Monday last Mr. Tappan's motion to bring up his re solution to appoint a day of adjournment, was voted down in tbe Senate, as asimilar resolution on the part of the Democracy wa, we understand, in the House t f Rep resentatives. A Fedcr.il member in the House, we learn, submitted a proposition that that body would not adjourn until the) had carried a s) stem for tbe management of the public money; and Mr. Clay, in the course of thin day's debate in the Senate, declared that he would not consent to fix a day of adjournment until two gre.t mea sures were brought to a conclusion and being called on by Mr. Calhoun to say what measures, he said the bill raising the tariff, and the Bank bill. This la t named bill was reported from the special committee, composed of Federal members exclusive ly, as it came from the House, without a mendmcnt. Taking this fact with Mr. Clay's simultaneous announcement in the Senate, with the proposition in the House, not to adjourn until the majority had car ried some fiscal contrivance to suit their political desgn, we conclude that the Pres ident may consider himself as besieged in the White House and that he must sur render at discretion and swallow a '-Bolts Bank," or something that wilt eat up his m3W or be beleaguered with this rump Congress of the gone-by census, until th2 people can come to his rescue under that whii-h will bring in a body representing a majority of the people. king the people of the States a present ot three millions a year m i - , lie lands, and then immediately afterwards : n i nf five millions a year r ,t .. :.. .udnnsnf an increase ot upon mom in . price or. such absolute neccssar.es as tea, coffee, sugar, molasses, and salt!! This H the affection the Whigs feel for the por. They call tea and coffee "luxuries," and think that no poor man has aright to indulge in theml None but the rich they imagine have a right to drink tea! None but the aristocratic a right to taste coffee! This is Whig logic! what will our hardy industrious think of this? Are they ready to submit? Are i hey ready to hug their chains, and fall again at the footstool of their federal mas ter.s? Or will they assert their birthright of independence, and compel our aristo cratic rulers to acknowledge mat me poor form the majority of our citizen, and a such choose to legislate for the benefit o! the many, and not for the exclusive comfort ind advantage of the few? lb. Dank of Deposit 'e. There is one kind of National Hank which might be charter ed by Congress, to which no constitutional or other objections could possibly be urg ed, and that is, simply a Dank of Deposite, without power to make loans or discounts, and above all and more than all, without power to print rags and call them dollars. This would be a National Sub-Treasury in a different form; the Directors to be cho sen by Congress, independent of the Exe cutive, and to receive suitable salaries for the performance of their duties. The branches wherever located, to have the power of receiving money on deposite, giving a certificate, which certificate would pass all over the country in lieu of a draft or bill of exchange. This would have all the good effect of a National Dank in regu lating the exchanges, without any of its Colossal power to do harm to the liberties and prosperity of the people. The power might be granted to sell bills of exchange on all parts of the United States, receiving in all its transactions real money, not worthless rags. Such a Dank would meet wiih the hearty approbation of every Polit ical Economist m the country. Will not the congregated wisdom of the nation de vise some similar plan upon which all can! unite with one heart and one mind? In our article upon a Dank of Deposite, we did not explain our meaning as fully as we might have done. We did not intend a bank having a charter, or stockholders; not a corporation; but the sub-treasury sys tern in a new form; having all the excel lencies of that svstem and of a Nitional Dank, without any ol the objectionable features of cither. Deing governed by a Hoard of Directors, with branches or agen ciesall over the country to receive money on deposite of private citizens as well as the 'public, funds, and being under the ex clusive control of Congress, the objection to the Executive handling the public mo ney, would be done away with. We know of no serious reasons for opposing such a plan. Portsmouth Old Bom. Biulal Outrage. A most daring out- lage was perpetrated on Saturday last, by a negro, back ot fSorlolk. I wo ladies on returning from markf-t were way-laid by the black villain; who struck one of them with a club upon the forehead, and she fell senseless; the other was struck and very much cut, she fell in the vehicle in which they were riding; the horse taking fright, he setoff for home at fill speed. The fath er of one of the ladies, accompanied by a neighbor, instantly started in pursuit of the scoundrel, whom they found near the spot where the outrage was committed. We have long been predicting some thing of this sort, from the growing inso lence and impertinence of this portion of our population, and no attempts being made to check it. In this town they act almost independently; they are out at all hours of the night and pass without ques lion or interruption. Someday we shall bitterly. regret this carelessness and inex cusable inattention. The act of Saturday is but the beginning of the end; shall we not be wise in time? id. known. This exploit is the most famous we have heard of for many a day. The fellow deserves to go free. Rich. Star. (JIn reference to the article which we have copied from the Raleigh Register, re lating to the University of North Carolina we learn on good authority that the first graduating class, that of 1798, consisted of seven instead of six, and what is a little remarkable, three of the seven are still a live that being an uncommon proportion of any given number of young men of the ages at which students generally graduate to be found living at the expiration of forty three years. These are the names of the seven; Alex. Osborne, Edwin J. Osborne, Hinton James, Robert Locke, Samuel Hin ton, Adam Springs, James Houston; Hin ton James, Adam Springs, and James Houston, are the three yet living. Mr. James is the respected Town Clerk and Treasurer of Wilmington. Mr. Springs is a farmer in, it is believed, Mecklenburg Lime, Con.) July 2S. Our communi ty was much agitated yesterday and to day by an awful occurrence here. At well Tucker, one of the residents, yesterday purchased at Warren's store three pints ol rum, which he drank in the course of the forenoon. In the afternoon, he met old Dr. Noyes, with whom he had previously a quarrel, and followed him about a mile, threatening to shoot him. 'The Doctor final ly escaped and took out a warrant for the apprehension of Tucker, and gave it in the hands of Huntley, the constable, who immediately proceeded to serve it. A short distance fiom the village, be saw 'Tucker in a field near the road. He al ighted from his wagon, and proceeded to ward the culprit, who fired and shot him through the bowels, inflicting a wound io serious that the unfortunate man lived but about fifteen minutes. He has left a wife and five small children entirely depen dent upon him. A guard was placed around Tucker's housejast night. This morning he was tracked into the woods, and it was ascer tained that he was concealed in a swamp near the Jumping rocks. The spot was surrounded when the report of a gun was heard close at hand. On proceeding to ihe place whence the sound proceeded, Tucker wan found on the ground, a disfig ured coipsc, part of his head blown entire ly off. lie was a murderer, he was a su icide, all through the influence of rum. Conn. fldv. A Horse Poiver Boat. A boat has been constructed and operated successful ly, running six miles per hour, by the power of one horse, placed in the centre of the boat. This boat thaws but three in ches water when loaded, ami cost, includ ing machinery, less than 5200. Surh boats are calculated to be useful on many of the small western creeks, where there is neither water to float, nor business to support a steamboat of any size. N. V.

A young la dy in London who was handsome, and had a fortune of jC 1 2,000, while she was buy ing some small articles of a shop keeper, with whom she had some trifling acquaint ance, took a piece of Flanders lace, and, out of mere gaily and frolic, went hastily out without pay ing for it. The shop keep er, who had a good head for speculation followed and seized her, and charged her with the theft, & in a peremptory manner, said to her, "Miss, you may take your choice, either to go with me before a mag istrate and suffer tbe penalty of the law for stealing my lace, or go before a clergy man and marry me.' After a pause, (and who could blame her) she chose the latter. Misery in England.

A few more of such examples will prove highly beneficial to the community. A Tax on Tea, CoJJce, Sugar, Molas ses and Salt We do not remember ; more barefaced and villanous proposition than that of the Federal Whigs in Congress, to tax the people of this country 20 per cent, on tea, coffee, &c. in order to make the deficiency in the revenue to be occa sioned by the distribution of the public lands! The whole scheme is so full of glaring moral and political abandonment, that we are surprised our opponents with nil inei cunning would venture upon it even in fit of desperation. We can onlv account for it upon the principle that they thinkthey have gotten the people of the United States ? -i !.

He broke his iron pan into strips, formed these in instrument, by which, running his arm under the door, he unlocked a large Dad- lock on the outside, then unbarred the door and passed out: he then took his way to tne upper story, lorced himself out through a small scuttle and narrow chim ney upon a slippery, steep slated roof. down which he by some means got; from that point he reacneu ihe ground by tear ing his blankets to strips and lowered him self down a distance of three stories.
