CTIn New-York, recently, two men have been sentenced to the Penitentiury, one for 6 and the other for 3 months, for beating their wives and in Milleclge ville, Georgia, a man has been made to pay the round sum of 86,000 for an as sault &, battery on another man's wife! It is strange a man should abuse a wo man who is so verv dear to him! American Silk. The manufacture of this article is about to be undertaken at Lisbon, Connecticut, by the firm of Gray & Bottum, who have invented and con structed power looms and nil the neces sary machinery required for the undertaking. The warriors of each party fought with a desperation that evinced a determination to conquer or die. Victory at last fa vored the Red-Plumes, if I may be allow ed to call that a victory, where scarcely a man of either party survived the dread Jul conflict." ib. 07-1 rofessor Olmstead, of New Ha ven, has offered an ingenious hypothe sis to the forthcoming number of Silli man's Journal, on the subject of the ex traordinary shower of meteors durin the last fall, Nov. 13. Me consider Them a nebulous body or cluster, moving in an orbit round the sun, within that of the earth. He estimates the lime of their an nual revolution at 182 days. At the tuna when seen, some of them must have approached so near the earth as to fall within our atmosphere, which caused their combustion, and thus rendered them visible. It is a singular fact that the great. meteoric phenomenon in 1799 appeared Nov. 12th, and most of these sublime exhibitions in the movements of the heavenly bodies are said to have oc curred in this month. ib. CIt is announced in the last iMill cdgeville (Ga.) Recorder, that the Bank of Chattahoochee suspended payment on the 11th instant. In a published Card, the President of the Bank ascribes the e vent to unceasing hostility to the Institu lion by a portion of the community, and assures the public that the Bank is abun dantly able, not only to redeem its entire circulation but to refund back to the stockholders the original capital invested. Theft. A lady of fashion and fortune has commuted a theft in Philadelphia, which has created a great sensation in that city. One of the journals observes: "Any amount of money would have been willingly sacrificed to veil the mo mentary infirmity of their relative, & save the honor of an exalted family. All, however, prove unavailing, and she who bad, moved in the first circle, who was an object of just deference to the most respectable, was bound to answer to the charge of larceny at next Mayor's Court. We fear that it will be found impossible to stay the prosecution; and the being who has breathed only iho at mosphere of rank and fashion, will be forced to attend among the most filthy and degraded creatures who crowd the bar of a criminal court, and stand the tri al for the most unworthy and debased crime of which humanity can be guilty." Ol?"A board of revisers of the criminal code of Virginia, are now briskly engag ed on the duties assigned them by the General Assembly of that State. They will lay before next Legislature an en tire new system of punishments, and re port largely on the existing offences with the proper remedies. The expediency of abolishing capital punishment will be ably treated, and the result of the labors of the Committee, consisting of Messrs. Chapman Johnson, Judge Brocken brough, Attorney General Robinson, and R. Stanard, Esq. will, we think, be a just, accurate and interesting document. N. Y. Star. C7 correspondent of the Mobile Mer cantile Journal, who writes from Timo ria, Arkansas Territory, under date 2Gth February, says "A party of trappers have just come in from the Rocky Moun tains, who give intelligence that a most bloody contest has lately been waged be tween the Cosconti and the Red-Plume Indians. The principal engagement took place at the foot of the Cordilleras, near the head waters of the Elwinc river. FOREIGN. West Indies. Captain Lewis, of the schooner Northampton, arrived at New York, from the island ofSt Vincents, re ports that on the day he sailed three suc cessive shocks of an earthquake were felt there, one of which was extremely violent and wtvs supposed did great damage. The sea in the harbour was so high that it was with great difficulty vessels at an chor were prevented going ashore.
