They come as the winds come, when forests are rended; hey eorrie as the waves come, when navies are stranded The great Baltimore Convention has been held, and never before, in this country, has there been so immense a gathering of the People. The number of Delegates is variously estimated at from ten to fifteen thousand, whilst the whole crowd at Canton, where the Addresses were delivered, is stated at twenty-live thousand 1 This seems almost incredible, arid yet all the accounts concur in representing this to be about the number.

Washington, May 4. The House continued in session on Friday night, discussing the General Appropriation bill until 11 o'clock, and, on Saturday morning, the House, with out taking up any other business, at once resolved itself into a Committee of the whole on this bill. A number of amendments were offered, on which long debates were had. The principal amendment was proposed by Mr. Stanly, to strike out an appropria tion for the salaries to Charges to Belgium and Na ples, on the ground that Messrs. Maxey and Throop, wbo fill those offices, had been grossly negligent in the discharge of their duty when formerly entrusted with office. Mr. Dromgoole said, that was no reason why our relations with Belgium and Naples should cease. Mr. Stanly did not wish, this ; ' but by with holding the salaries of these men , to compel the Pres ident to do, what he would never do otherwise, remove unfaithful public officers, who were his own political o.lvntoc Mr "DrntnTnAlp. insisted, that tVlthUOlUing 4vA v vvaiv-u -f i - a Minister's salary, did put an end, while it continued, to our intercourse with the nation to whom such Min ister was sent. Mr. Graham animadverted on the con duct of Mr. Throop, (Charge to Naples) wlm had been reported as the chief cause of Swarlwout's de falcation they were twin brothers, he said, in that fraud. He would as soon vote for a salary to Swart woutas tu" Throop. Mr. Graves asked, if the King of England were to appoint a high-way man Minister to the United States, if the British Parliament would yield its right to withhold the appropriation of his salary The power of appropriation was given to Congress as a check on the Executive, and ought to be so used. Mr. Smith, of Maine, denied that the item in the bill involved at all the qualifications of the in fiimhrnts of the offices about to be abolished. He called the attention of gentlemen to a case of culpable .ipcrlof t nd extravagance which, he said, had once ex r-o, tKw nttpntion of the whole country. He alluded c thn nnnointment of Gen. W. H. Harrison as Min ister to Columbia, who remained six months at his pal ace at North Bend, after he hall received his outfit and advance of salary. Mr. White said, it was un true thnt Gen. Harrison remained six mouths at home after his appointment to Columbia; it was untrue that he received his outfit and salary; and it was untrue that he was in his cabin when he received the appointr mcnt. He had been at Washington for months, when he was appointed. He returned home only to prepare to get cut on his mission. He did not receive any part of Ins salary ; but ms ouun uni) . as he had arranged his affairs at home, he repaired to Colambia, but Gen. Jackson made him his iirst vic tim, by recalling him home before he had time to ex ecute any portion of the business of his mission. At length, the motion to strike out tins appropria tion, was negatived, there being about 26 votes for it. The bill having been gone through, Mr. Jones moved that the Committee rise, and report the bill, with the amendments, to the House ; which was car ried, nem con. and the Committee rose accordingly. Mr. Tamey moved the previous question, which wn sorrmded. and Mr. L. Williams demanded the For the Register Mr. Gales : I perceive from the Newspapers print ed in your City, that the Raleigh and Gaston Rail Road is completed and now in full operation. This is a work of great magnitude, whether considered in re gard to the cost of its construction, the difficulties and obstacles the Company have had to encounter, or the immense benefits which it will confer, not only on your Cjjy, but on a very large portion of the State. To that portion of the State, lying immediately West of Raleigh, it will be the means not only of affording a cheap and speedy transportation of Its produce to Market, but will, in fact, be creating a new Market, or rather add new ones to those already existing. : Heretofore, most of the produce West of Raleigh has been sent to Fayettcville now, the Farmers will hare the option either of that Market, or of Petersburg, Richmond and Norfolk in- Virginia. The Raleigh and Gaston Road will also afford great facilities to the travelling public. Its connection at Petersburg with the Richmond Road, and with the Road to City Point, will give Passengers a choice of two routes go inr North from Petersburg, cither of which"will give them as much soeed and comfort as they could reason ably desire. In casting my eye over the Map of the Western part of this State, and the Eastern portion of Tennessee, it appears" to me that the travel, North from' tho3e sections of the country, would find the route by the way of your City, and thence by the Rail Road, the most expeditious, cheap and comfortable, that can be found. I think nothing is wanting to induce the travel from all that portion of Tennessee, East of Knox ville at least, from adopting the route above mention ed, but the establishment of a good line of four horse Poet Coaches, connecting directly the central parts of North Carolina with.those of Tennessee. Being pret ty well acquaiuted with the Western section of our State, I will suggest a route for a Stage line, wmch is not only much nearer but much better than any on which Stages are now established. It is from Greens boro or Salem, by Huutsville, Hamptonville, Wilkes- boro', Jefferson, in N.C. Taylorsville, Elizabethton and Jonesboro' te Knoxville, Tenn. By reference to the most approved Maps, it will be perceived that th commencing and terminating points of the route here indicated are nearly on the same parallel of latitude ,.,v,;u ror.t rf iho intorvenintr noints are also on the VV 1A11 UlUOt - O X same parallel there-being no one of them divergin more than from five to eight miles trom it. 1 he only material inclination from a direct line, is at that point where the Road after passing Wilkesboro', pursues North-westerly direction until it passes the Blue Ridge: when it asraingradually resumes the former parallel Yeas and Nays.which were ordered, and stood 1 10 to Thg inci-1Iiatjon here spoken of, is probably not so great hi Extensivk Forgeries.- Our community was this mornitiff thrown into considerable excitement arising from whispers and sur.- irnses relative lo forgeries said to have been made yesterday, reported, on every ; bank in our city and liberties.". Upon making inquiry we ascertained the following facts: It $ appears that accounts have been opened in the several banks in the names of Vanarsdalo- and Roberts, Steiner and Wood, and George K B. McKee and Co. all of whom, if we under- ft. stood correctly, had given their residence at jfcj No. 42 Walnut street.

Alter depositing these checks, s the amount was then drawn out without sus picion. When the banks, as usual, made, their exchanges this morning the fraud wa. detected; but too late to secure the offenders, as they had availed themselves of one or oth er of the many facilities our city affords, for making an escape. It also appears that no such firms have ever done business at No. 42 Walnut street. The amount of money obtained by these forgeries, we could not ascertain ; but report says, not lar 6hart of twenty thousand. Philadelphia Gazette. Inthis City, on Wednesday evening last, by Henry B.
