The report of the death of Gen. Wade Hampton, is contradicted in the Philadel phia Gazette on ihe authority of a letter from htm to a genileman in Philadelphia, dated some weeks subsequent to' the date of his reported death. " v ' During the last session of Congrcssi the Vice., President of. the United States in his capacity as Preiideht of the Senate, ren dered himself obnoxious to censure, on ac count of the great latitude of debate allow ed to Mr. Randolph, and'his conduct be came the theme of discussion in the News papers., The most pr6minent champions in this war of words, were two writers, one of whom adopting ihe signature of Patrick Henry" throthevmedium of the National Journal impugned the motives of the Vice President in regard tu his decision on points of ordiT, . The other writer Onslow" irt defence of Mr. Calhoun and in reply to Patrickllcnry used the National Intelligen cer as the vehicle of his communications, the Journal .having declined their insertion. Suclpgreat ability was displayed by both writers and they manifested so ultimate an acquaintance with-Parliamentary usages, that the authorship of Patrick Henry-was bestowed on. Mr. A lams and that of Ons lew was attributed to Mr. Calhoun, or his procein ami Mr. M'Duffie; and what at first was but rumor, having remained so long uncontradicted, had almost settled down into belief on the public mind The National Intelligencer however now states upon authority that the President of the U. States is not the author of, and has had nothing to doj'-directly or indirectly, with the piec?s under the signature of Patrick Henry. 1 ' I)rinking.y?e observe by an article in the NewrOrlcans .Mercantile Advertiser of the 5th ult. that a gentleman of that city is now successfully engaged in . restoring " to society arid to their friends, then and women who Were sinking under the perni cious consequences of. excessive drinking' According to that paper " .

Nat, JnU -7 A letter from Bogota, of the 19th of July, states that II. E.

Ilis fu neral was attended by a numerous con course' of citizens, and all the 'different of ficers. r ' - '' ' 7 :-' CornJ There has been a considerable fall in the price of this article within the last two weeks, caused by the appearance of the new crop in market, and a regular & rather large supply of old, from ? the back country. New may be quoted at 80 cents per bushel, and old at 90 to 95,- from the wagon It is pnbable, that as soon as the whole crop is gathered, it will fall lower. It will be observed that the prospect . has brightened in Warren.! Fayette, Obs, We understand that the elegant Map of ouin Carolina, i steiv ipuunsneu cost tne State about 890,000," and the Map of Vir ginia also lately published, cost that 3tte baout g65,000l It is hoped, though this State has donenothifigto aid one "fits citi zens in his design of puplishing a like beau tiful and correct Map, that the citizpns will liberally patronize so desirable a work. I Ffiyette, JObs, The last Carolinian informs us, that an insurrection among the negroes broke out in and near Chester, S: C. a few days since, but it was soon suppressed by the vigilance and promptness of the citizens. About 40 negroes, it is said, were apprehended and lodged in Chester jail. -'Some four or five weeks since, a number of negroes were arrested and examined in Chester, on the charge pf a plot to raise an insurrection '; but on investigation, no good cause for alarm could be discovered. : It appeared, that in a drunken frolic, impro per language had been used by some of the negroes; these were whipped, and thus matter ended. VVe presume this is the in surrection spoken of above. Catawba Jo, Suspicious. A bright mulatto man, who called himself William Duncan, and who said he was from Raleigh, was in this town on Tuesday, last, under circumstan ces that naturally induces us to believe that he was either a runaway slave, or, if free, had stolen the horse which was in his pos session. s He made his escape, however, before his conduct was known to an" white person here, or he would undoubtedly have been apprehended. lie was at Winton the day before, and made ( application to the Captain of a schooner for a passage to N. York, but the captain suspecting him to be runaway declined taking him. He stat ed at Winton, when asked if he had free papers, that he understood a horse would be a good and 'sufficient! pass for him hut proposed selling the horse, and did finally sell him to a negro, with the saddle and bridle, all for four dollars I The horse i.i a dark bay, 4 feet 1 1 inches high, 4 or 5 years old the saddle half worn, with 'a pad attached to it -ihe bridle likewise half worn As has been before staled,: the fel low wasa bright mulatto, full face, bushy head, apparently 25 years of age his dress, blue coat vest and pantaloons of broad cloth, and a fashionable black hat.

New-Yorh SeptA. The paeket ship Corinthian, Capt. Davis, arrived yesterday morning from Liverpool, She sailed on the 24th ult. but spoke the Talisman for Boston, which left Liverpool on the 27th, and obtained of the master a London paper of the 25th, from which the following extracts are made. Zetters from Liverpool, of the 24th, sayj " there is a fairdemand to-day for upland at last week's prices of other descriptions there is but little Lquiry." i I y - New-Fork, Sept. 5, - By the shipRobert Wilson, Capt. Arnold, which arrived last evening, London papers to the 27tn, and Liverpool to t lie 29th J u ly have been received ; being two.days la ter from the former place, and five from the latter, than those by the Corinthian. The distresses among the manufacturers instead of abating, seems to increase. The Liverpool Courier of the 26th says ; "The accounts from different parts of our own country, and from many: more of the more distant manufacturing parts of Great-Bri tain, continue to be ot a very painful des; cription; and what has added to the alarm is, that in Manchester, Stockport, and some other places, meetings .. have been called .by some desperate and atrocious wretches, in order to inflame, the suffering population, and urge them to deeds ol'bluod. It is, however, but justice to the great bo dy of unemployed workmen :o state, that little impression appears to have been made by these tinflamatory harrangues, and the more secret means which no doubt have been resorted to, to produce riot, in order that a few unprincipled incendiaries may. profit by it, and plunder their neighbors." " 'ihe Albion of the 29th says : We la ment to state that the distress. which we so often have had occasion to mention, con tinues to increase , day after day. ' Some hundreds of our wretched countrymen are added to the thousands already destitute of employments An accumulation, of mise ry is occasioned, which demands instant relief, i he funds so promptly ; raised by private suDScriptions are exhausted, and, in our opinion, it becomes the ; imperative duty of Government to institute an imme diate inquiry into the state of the country."
