SATUttUAY, FEU. 6,1836. Lamentable Occurrence. We learn that on Wednesday last, John O. Lawrence was killed in an affray ly Napoleon Cromwell, in this county. Mr. Cromwell, had a quarrel with another person, when Air. Lawrence interfering, he was beat with a gun in such a manner as to cause his death in a few hours. The deceased was about 30 years of age, and has left a family. Mr. Cromwell is about 21 years of age, had just retur ned from A1ahama for the purpose of getting his property, and was to have been married in a few days.... he has fled. tain officer?, such as Collectors,: Receivers of public money s, 'SwJ.i lo four years aud places all offi cers on the same footing.

Adams oHered the following resolution which elicited a pro tracted debate: llesohe.d. That so much of the message of the President of the ftJuitcd States to Coimress at the commencement of the present ses sion as relates to the failure at the last session of Congress, of the bill containing the ordinary appropri ations for fortifications, be referred lo a select committee, with instruc tions lo inquire into, and report to the house the causes and circum stances of the failure of the bill. Mr. Williams, of North Caro lina, moved to amend by adding "and that said committee be au thorized to send for persons and papers." Mr. Adams rose, and in a speech of about two hours7 length, went into a detailed history of the pro ceedings of the House on the for tification bill, and contended thai its failure was not caused by the: House of Representatives. He commented with great warmth up on the course of the Senate in regard lo the bill, and animad verted upon the recent debate lo blink the investigation. . He was obliged to suspend his re marks, on a motion being made to proceed to the special order of the day private bills. Petitions for the abolition of sh. try iti the district of Colum bia, are still pouring into both Houses. IMPORT A NT. We copy the following gratifying and highly important intelligence from the Petersburg Constellation of Tuesday last: Important Mediation of Eng land certainly accepted! On Sat urday last, through our attentive and well-informed Correspondent at Washington, we announced that England had offered to the Gov ernment of the United States her mediation to settle the existing differences between this Countrv and France, ami that the offer had onl,at subject in the Senate, as "been accepted by the President, ; reported m the National Intelli by and with the consent and ad- 8ef,L"er- A. was called to or- vice of his Cabinet.

It does not settle the question. ffWe learn that estimates have been sent by the War De partment to the proper commit tees, lorsucn expenditures as ap pear to be called for the purposes of national defence. The amount is for fortifications, $5,000,000 For the armament of fortifications, powder, shot, Sic. 1,373,748 $0,373,748 Making an aggregate of six millions three hundred and seventy-three thousand seven hundred and forty-eight dollars. This is independent of ihe ordinary ap propriations for arsenals, armo ries, he. We subjoin a list of the fortifications accompanying the estimates, and for the construction and repair of which the money is wanted. Of the amount, GG0, 000 is estimated for steam balle ries.

Newbem, Jan. 29. Small Pox. After our paper of last week was put to press, one of the persons afflicted with this disease unexpectedly became worse, and died on Saturday. The olher has passed the crisis, and is recovering. The disease has not been communicated lo any of our citizens. Spec. A remarkable fact. We have not at this time a single Minister Plenipotentiary, eiiher at the Court of England, France, Spain, Portugal, Uussia, or any other European State. Fatal Affair. On Monday evening last, a fight took place in this village between Mr. John Bellamy and Mr. Wm. E. May field, during which Mr. Mayfield received a dirk wound in the left side, which caused his death in about one hour. Mr. Hellaai) left this place the same evening. They were both men of families.

I7"ln addition to the above pleas ing intelligence we have also to an nounce that the election of Mr. Wal ter to the U. S. Senate, by the Leg islature of Mississippi, balances par ties in that body and gives Mr. Van Buren the casting vote. The follow ing esti nate will be found accurate: For the AdrrCn.

Walker's majority, I Si Raleigh Standard. CONGKESS. Senate The bill for reducing the pat. mage of tle Executive, introduLP-.l by Mr. Calhoun, has parsed the Senate. U repeals the law passed a few year since ,im. mug me periods oi service of cer- ied him to name some one who was in that predicament; lo which Mr. Wise responded: "Were I to call names, sir, that gentleman might feel unhappy." Mr. Cambreling remarked that he had not half so much to say as had been said by the gentleman from Virginia. (Mr. Wise), and he was not disposed, at this lale hour, lo say any thing. But, with the indulgence of ihe House, he would take an opportunity to correct some extraordinary mis takes into which the gentleman from Virginia had fallen. His object was however, not so much to reply to the gentleman from Virginia, as to reach a gentleman who began this war upon him at the last session. In what the gen tleman from Virginia had stated there was no novelty. He had brought forward nothing that had not been published in every oppo sition paper in the Union, for the last six months. He would pro mise the House to exhibit to them a document published in the city of Philadelphia, while a certain Senator was in that city, after the close of the last session, which would prove unequivocally the falsehood of the charge made against him. Mr. C. repeated, his object was to reach that Sena tor. This much of his purpose he would announce. He should shrink from no responsibility, and wished to disguise no facts". He should vindicate himself from the charges made against him, and bring his argument to this con clusion: "Let the galled jade wince, my withers are unwrung " Mr. Bynum ; replied for a short Itme to Mr. W ise, said he was de termined lo probe the matter to the bottom, and called on him not Murder. It is seldom we are called upon to record a more hor rible crime than the present. On Monday the 25th ult. Mr. Thos. Green went to the house of Mr. Hamilton J. Weldon, and with a Gun charged with Buck Shot, shot the said Weldon in his yard. The load entered his breast and bowels. A Coroner's inquest was held the next day, by Capt. Jas. K. Turner, Coroner of the County. The Jurors summoned on the occasion, on their oaths do say lhat "one Thos. Green with ma lice and aforethought shot the said Weldon." Further particu lars we forbear. Green has not been taken yet. Halifax Adv. Runaway Slaves. On Wed nesday last two negro men (Ned and Jacob) were taken from a Cave, near this place. They had in the cave, w hen caught, a Gun, Scythe-blade, an Axe, Spade and Hoe. The hoe and spade we suppose was used in digging the cave; and the olher instruments were inieuded to be used as wea pons to repel an altact, provided it had been made by a small force. They had also, fresh meat. Jacob had been runaway nearly two years, and Ned about four months. ib. ttWe learn that the negro man Levi, (ihe property of Mr. L. Abingdon) who was advertised in our last paper, was shot -and kill ed a few days since, near the plan tation of Mr. Henry Doggett. Levi had been runaway ever since April last, and n reward of $100 was offered for him. ib. fXVe learn with regret that at the late disastrous defeat of the United States officers and troops of lampa nay, Lieutenant John L. Keats, formerly of this Town, who was an amiable young gentleman, and but a few mouths since a gra duate at West Point, while engag ed in action with the Indians, was The United States Bank. We learn from the Harrisburg Repor ter lhat a bill "virtually re-chartering the Bank of ihe United Slates," has been reported in the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania. It proposes to in corporate ihe Stockholders of the U. S. Bank, exclusive of the United Stales, to the amount of the present individual capital of 23 millions, for thirty ar by the style and title of the Presi dent, Directors and Company of the H.ink of the United States." The bill provides for ihe speedy repeal of the State tax on personal properly and fixes the bonus lo be paid by ihe Bank at two mill ions of dollars; as also a .loan to the commonwealth of six millions at A per cent, and an obligation on the part of the Bank to sub scribe five hundred and fifty thou sand dollars to the capital stock of certain works of internal improve ment (provided the Directors of said companies shall so request within one year.) ib. Ridiculous Farce. The Anti masonic majority in the Legisla ture of Pennsylvania are carrying a high hand. They appointed a Committee to enquire inlo ihe "evils of Masonry," clothing it wiiu auiuorny lo send lor persons and papers. A number of gen tlemen of high respectability have been summoned. Some have ap peared at the Bar of the House, and others have refused, and a gainst them, attachments were is sued for contempt. Among the individuals are Gen. Wolfe, Geo. M. Dallas, Mr. Chandler, Editor of the U. S. Gazette, Josiah Ran dall, he. he. Gen. Wolfe was brought up by attachment, the rest obeyed ihe summons, but all refused to take the oath, entering their protests. The affair has ex cited great excitement in Penn sylvania. ib. n-usla lias paid all the expense of equipping and transporting the 100 voluuteers from lhat city.

We regret to learn from the statement of the President and Directors of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal company, thai great link in its progress onward towards Cumberland, has come to a dead stop, in consequence, ii is asserted, of high price of labor and inadequate funds. There are suspicions, that the tico millions of uouars loaned last year by ihe state to this company, have been exhausted in liquidating iheir pre vious debts. With this misfor tune, and the active exertions now making in Baltimore to raise sev eral Millions, to extend the rail road from Harper's ferry to Ohio river, and another from Porl De posited Columbia, and various other works, we are fearful that Maryland will have more on her hands than even her spirited pop ulation can accomplish.
