Since his death, the family, at the head of which is Mr. Stephen Van Rensse laer oldest son ot the deceased, has Called up on the tenants for payment. The whole sub ject of Ibe nature of the tenure of these farms of the Rensselaer Manor is thus brought be fore the public. It appears the principal dis affected towns were Rensselaervilie Wester- loo, Bern, Knox, and New Scotland, chiefly entrenched in the fastnesses of the Helder barrack Mountain, 12 miles S. W. of Albany : hh i:j i ..i . j i viiy. x uey laiu wuai iney termed ineir griev ances betore Mr. Van Kansselaer, not re collecting that their fathers or grandfathers had solemnly and voluntarily entered into the con tracts by which these back rents accumulated. I hose are the quarter sales, or quarter pro ceeds ot the perpetual leases, whenever sold. Also, 22 1-2 bushels of wheat on everv 160 acre farm. Also. $1 day's services, with car nage and team; and four fowls. (50 cents.) making a total rent on each lot 160 acres, of $18 37 1-2. The raise of wages, and of the value of wheat, fowls. &c, and the sterility of the soil, makes this tax now amount to $50 a year, and is exceedingly oppressive. I hey propose the rents to be abolished, and the new rents to be in money. The same number of bushels to be allowed as before, and at the rate of Sl and lower according to the value of the land, $1, per day for day's ser vices, and 50 cents for fowls, excluding the reservation of quarter sales, water privileges the soil under water, privilege of roads, mines, minerals, timber, &c. together with the priv ilege of buying the soil, to those who wish to purchase the same, at any future time, for such sum as the interest thereof will amount to, the amount of rent on each lot now to be fixed. They also propose that those western towns of ihe manor whose farms are encumbered to the amount of their personal effects over and bove their arrearages of rents due the propri etor, should be remitted in whole, or at all events in equal proportion to the stipulations to be entered into for lulu re rents. Mr. Van Rensselaer renlies that ev nave no grievances, that Ihe rents wer n charg ed for the firf seven years, tha 'be' may claim a relinquishment of his rhi fc tne land as well as a relrasR rd" nri llee. that ihov . - - , i TTJU UW 1X1 LHi.uui.iwu " estimate on yat.a - h the iiicretd ,,m,e ' ' .

Of course, the utn.oat 8Dxiety Was fe,t for hi, fate, which was roue increased by the earth again falling mat the u,8ide. The earth now fell all around him, Waving him hardly room to move; fortunately, however, but lit tle more thaii a foot of earth this time shut mm in irom the daylight, and this was soon removed. Ihe accident occurred at about one o clock m the day, and it was ten o'clock before the man was cot out. The dMrwrnt energy with which he worked to rescue him self may be inferred from the lact that of thirty or forty feet of earth to be removed, he, though working at ffreat disaoVahtAw. dug through nearly one half of it.

A paragraph which we copied the other day from the Canton Register, of July 9th, mentioned the occurrence of a serious affrav al Hong Kong, where the greater part of tne critisn merchant ships were lyinir. and that it resulted in the death of two Chinese. The closing paragraph of the annexed letter, which we find in the New York Times, from an officer of the United States ship John Adams, makes some further allusion to the affray, from which it would appear that the English were the asressors. 33-tf Come Sharpen yoiir ll&zors. . t-. r. i. :i ...in i-.orviin in r av i ": ' I.. , .ir.niT IVhl.l IIIIM-, lit?
