Leave was given on Wed'nes-' day for the committee to remain in session after the adjournment of Congress, in order to wait the arrival of Mr. Edwards. Only two of the committee (Messrs. Moore and Randolph) have left Washington. Messrs. Floyd, Webster, Livingston, M' Arthur and Taylor remain to pursue the investigation. On Thursday, considerable feeling was manifested by the different members of the com mittee, in consequence of the appearance of Mr. Randolph's letter to his constituents, occa sioned by the remark of Mr.R. that "it was at his instance, and not without considerable oppo sition on the part of a majority of the committee, that the secre tary had an opportunity given, to file his answer to the accusa tion of Mr. Edwards." Every member of the committee pre sent, protested against the cor rectness of Mr. R.'s statement, and asserted that the utmost una nimity prevailed, and every dis position manifested to give Mr. Crawford an opportunity of meeting his accuser. Arrival of Mr. Edwards. The (Washington) National Journal of Saturday, states, that 'Mr. J. Oswold Dunn, the mes senger of the H. of R. arrived m this city last evening. He leached Edwardsville on the evening of the 12th inst. left there with Mr. Edwards on the 13th, and on the i4th left St. Louis on his return home, which he has accomplished in fourteen days. Mr. Edwards came with him as far as Washington, Pa. where, learning from some of the members who had left this city, that congress would ad ouin that morning, (Thursday) he stopped for a day, and will 31 rive in 1 lie next stage. From . this it will be seen that Mr. E. has met the summons of the House promptly. The mem bers of the committee- were last night informed of the return of Mr. Edwards by Mr. Dunn, who called upon them at their re spective lodgings, immediately on his arrival." FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 1824. To Subscribers. In answer to -T'peatcd inquiries, respecting the tiiure of papers, we have merely ' state that the papers arc, and . j v c bcen,rculai "ly sent to the post- flier, in this place: owing to recent changes in tl.e transportation of the inail, probably, the papers take a 'vrcng direction. Subscribers, not receiving their papers regularly, will please notify us of the fact, and wc will immediately endeavor to have it corrected. Tariff. This bill, having recei ved the signature of the President, has become a law. In our next we I'urposc giving the sentiments, so -ar as they have been ascertained, 01 two prominent Presidential candidates, in this section of the country, on this subject, so material ly affecting the interests of the peo ple of the South. character, previous to his depar ture for Europe, addressed a letter to hii constituents: as itcontains matter generally interesting, we AaU publish it in our next paper. Small Pox. The Commis sioners of Plymouth have re scinded the restrictions,imposed through fear of the Small Pox, on the intercourse with Hali fax, as they are assured that there no longer exists any cause of alarm from that quarter. Comm. unicatcd. communicated. Melancholy occurrence. On Monday evening, the 24th ult. William Lewis, an aged and respectable inhabitant of this county, went out of his house, quitting the company of his wife and children, and leaped feet downward into his well where he expired, and where his body remained until the next day! this act of his seems not to have been the effect of insanity, as he had never evinced any symp tom of mania or melancholy: possibly he thought with the advocates for suicide, Who say "it is very allowable to quit our house when we are weary of it." Be this as it may, we know that self-murder is forbid by moral and municipal law; it is like wise forbid not only by the Christian, but by the Pagan re ligion: witness these lines of the poet "Then crowds succeed, who pro digal of breath, Themselves anticipate the doom of death; Though free from guilt, they cast their lives away, And sad and sullen hate the golden day. Oh! with what joy the wretches now would bear Pain, toil, and woe, to breathe the vital air! With dire Avernus, and the lake profound, And Styx with nine wide channels roars around.' Virgil's JEn. Roanoke Navigation. It will be recollected that an act of our last Legislature authorised the Board for Internal Improve ments, to subscribe in behalf of the State, for $25,000 addi tional stock in the Roanoke Na vigation Company, provided that said subscription should be applicable only to the expense ol locking down from the basin at Weldon's Orchard into the river. At a meeting of the President and Directors of the Roanoke Company on the 3d ult. this proposition was laid be fore the Board, when it was re solved, "That the Board had no authority to receive new sub scriptions to the stock of the Company, on terms varying from the charter." We learn that the Board of Directors consider the Stock holders, in general meeting, the proper authority for deciding the question of receiving, or not receiving, the proposed sub scription by this State, and the subject will be laid before that body at their meeting on the second Monday in November next. Raleigh Reg. New- York Races. On Tues day 25th ult. the first day's purse, $500, four mile heats, was run over the Union Course, Jamaica, (L. I.) by the follow ing horses. Mr. Wy nil's mare Flirtilla, by Sir Archy, 4 years old; Mr. Laird's mare, Modes ty, by Expedition, 5 years old; Mr. Badger's mare Molly Whalem, by Herod, 5 years old; Mr. Snediker's horse Sou them Eclipse, by Northamp ton, 5 years old; and Mr. Van Sickler s horse Oscar, by the old Oscar, 4 years old. The as semblage of persons was very great, and notwithstanding the Course was fenced in by a strong board fence some distance each way from the Judge's Box, the place from which the horses start, yet, all efforts to keep the ground clear as it should be, proved ineffectual. The field consisted of five, horses, and at o'clock thev set off at the of the drum. Molly Whalem took the lead at starting, W kept it for only about a quarter of a mile, when Flirtilla passed on a-head, and maintained the ground she had gained to the end oi the heat, cc-mino- in nhnnt 40 yards ahead of all her antag onists this satisfied all whn hf taken the field against her for the purse, that there was no hope left for them. Ten to one was now offered in her favor on the 2d heat, but no takers. On calling the horses up for the se cond neat, only lour obeyed the summons, and on setting nflT. Flirtilla took the lead from the first lump, and kent it with ease, (although repeated efforts were made to run un to her. coming in about fifty yards a head. Time of runnino- first heat eight minutes four seconds second heat eiedit minutpr. twenty-four seconds. The se cond day's purse was taken by lMr. Jackson's mare Stow and Easy, at three heats, beatinr the Duchess of Marlborough, who won the hist, and Molly Lo?ig Legs.
