English Emissaries. Another Eng
lish Abolition emissary has arrived in the
United Suites. His name is Thompson,
lie has becii sen over by the Emancipa
tion Society, of England, to lecture the
people of the north into the expediency
of immediate emancipation. We doubt
not but he will be a fit associate for the
scoundrel Stuart, who is going through
the villages of the north instigating the
people to interfere with the slaves of the
south. The New York Commercial
says, that Stuart, "recently disseminated
as rank sedition at Whitesborough, as
was ever uttered by the lips of man. He
there distinctly inculcated A violation of
tlie taws, iiow long would he be suiter
ed, in his own country, to enjoin disobe
dience, in a public assembly, to a law of
parliament!
We hope Stuart and his associate
Thompson will come to the South.
There is the proper place to try the cf
fects of his eloquence. It is a slow bu
siness to persuade the north to persuade
the south, that it is to their interest to
emancipate the slaves. They had better
lirst ascertain if the south is in a humour
to be persuaded, and to do this, let Tap
pan and his English missionaries make a
tour through the south. They will know
more about the subject when thev get
back than they do now. U. S. Til.
Another Riot. We regret to learn
from the Columbia (Pa.) Spy, that an
other exhibition of that mad spirit of an
archy and violence by which some of our
principal cities have lately been disgrac
ed, was made in that place on the night
of Tuesday last. At the dead hour of
midnight fit lime for such deeds of dark
ness a band of riotous persons assem
bled and attacked a house in Front
street, occupied by a black man, the
porch and a part of the frame of which
they lore down, the inmates leaving the
building at the first alarm. Thence the
mob proceeded to the office of another
colored person, who deals in lumber,
broke open the windows and door, rifled,
the desk, and scattered the papers along
the pavement. After attempting to up
set the building they marched off, hav
ing "glory enough for one night." Such
proceedings are disgraceful to the char
acter of the town, subversive of the quiet
and safety of the inhabitants and insulting
to the laws under which we live.

CTAt Trenton, (N. J.) there has been
n slight outpouring of the mobbish spirit.
On Sunday night last, a number of per
sons collected around the colored Metho
dist church of thet place, and, after o few
yells and shouts, demolished the win
dows creating great alarm among the
congregation, who fled in terror; when
die rioters, following the example, also
ran away and escaped.
07The late Johnson Cleaveland, Esq.
of Leesburg, Va., in his will has placed
lit the option of his slaves their liberty,
on condition that they emigrate to Libe
ria. They have two years allowed them
for consideration, and should they decline
the offer, they can make choice of their
masters from amongst any of his remain-
mg relatives: so that a man of kind dis
position and even temper, will be rewar
ded in a manner little expected.

returning him to his master.
Bank of the State. On to-morrow,
this Institution commences its operations,
and under the most favorable auspices.
The Bank being based upon a substan
tial capital, it will be prepared at all times
to redeem its Notes with Specie, or with
what may be considered by the Note-holder
as its equivalent. Its management has
been committed to those who have a pos
itive interest in its concerns to men of
business men, whose pursuits have led
them to make themselves conversant with
the nature of Banking operations; whose
views, while we hone thev will I i nf nti
enlarged character, will at the same time,
we are confident, be controlled bv sober
judgment and sound discretion.

in constant session in Nashville since the
Pith of May last, closed its labors on Sat
urday the 30lh of August. They have
adopted a revised and amended Constitu

Several of our cotcmporaries in this
Stale, have named Judge Gaston as a
proper person to fill the vacant seat on
the Bench of the Supreme Court of the
United Slates. His fitness in every re
spect no one can question, but the fact
seems to be lost sight of, that he does not
reside within the Judicial District which
the vacancy comprehends, and is iherfore
ineligible. ib.
A Good "Experiment." 'The packet
ship Caledonia, which sails for Liverpool
this day, takes out from Mr. Robert Ste
vens, two of our celebrated running
maresPolly Hopkins and Betsey Ran
somjiivith a view of testing the "experi
ment' (we like the word) of crossing their
blood with the celebrated English racer
Priam. The forth-coming prog'eny of
ihe justly celebrated animals being by
Eclipse, will be trninnd ntlfl tosfnrl in
England with the pure English blood,
while the future progeny, from the best
English horses, will be regularly shipped
to this country at the age of one year, and
in due time make their appearance on the
American turf. This is, indeed, an "ex
periment" worthy alike of the enterprise
of Mr. Stevens and of the deep interest
he has recently manifested in improving
our breed of horses. To him, more than
all others, are we indebted for the perfec
tion we have reached in steamboats and
locomotives; and to him will be indebted
fur testing the relative speed and bottom
of the best English and American race
horses at this day. The "experiment"
is an interesting one, and all who are ad
mirers of the horse, and can enjoy the
sports of the turf will feel an interest in
its successful issue. N. Y. Courier.
(L7The Secretary of ihe Treasury has
given notice that the five million loan of
1821 will be paid oil on the 2d of January
next. In the mean time, these proprie
tors of the slock, who desire the reim
bursement of their certificates before that
period, can receive the amount thereof
with interest up to the day of their surren
der, on presentation at the Loan offices
where the same may stand credited. It
is added that persons desirous of selling
will find facilities for that object, by ap
plying to any of the selected Deposit
Banks in the State in which they reside.
Arrests tor Nail Depredations. We
learn that the Postmaster and his Assis

been arrested by a Special Agent ot the
Post Office Department, and held to bail,
with sureties each of 2,000 dollars, to an

Summary Work! XV c learn from a
gentleman who came passenger in ihe
steamboat Patrick Henry from Rich
mond, on Wednesday afternoon, that
seven of the principal gambling establish
ments (or "Hells" as they are now com
monly and not inaptly called) in chat city,
located in the vicinity of the Eagle Hotel,
were on Monday night last completely
broken up by the populace, who entered
them in large bodies, and proceeded to
demolish every thing before them. Faro
tables, E O's, A B C Roidettes, and
the other various implements of the black
art, with all the costly furniture of these
temples of Vice, fell an indiscriminate
sacrifice in t lie work of destruction.
The next morning, our informant adds,
the populace completed the work of the
preceding night, by removing the wreck
of furniture and gambling utensils into
the street, where they piled it all up in
one common mass (some little distance
above the Eagle Hotel;) and made a bon
fire of the whole concern. The furniture
was of the most splendid and fashionable
description. Brussels carpets, Grecian
sofas, girandoles, mirrors, chandeliers,
tables, chairs, &c. Every thing corres
ponding with the most refined luxury.
The number of the citizens engaged in
this work of demolition is estimated at
500. Norfolk Her.
The Bhnd Man's Bible. XXe have
before us, in a goodly sized quarto vol

or rather embossed, for the use of the

work of Mr. Snider, the gentleman who
acts as secretary of the institution, and
is a beautiful illustration, if not fulfilment,
of the prophecy, that "the blind shall see.0
This admirable specimen of the art of
embossing letters, is worthy the atten

A young girl was shot on Thursday
night last, at Fells Point, Baltimore, un
der ihe following distressing circumstan
ces. It annears while laboring undp.r
' t o
somnambulism, she got out of bed and
went into the chamber of the lady and
gentleman of ihe house. The gentleman
awakened, by a noise in his room, en
quired several times who was there, and
received no answer, and seeing a object
moving about his room in the dark, ho
seized a gun and fired, supposing it to
be a robber, when the girl fell, having
been mortally wounded, receiving the

Quite a serious rebellion is said to
have broken out in Delaware College.
Eight students have been suspended in
consequence, and four others induced to
leave ihe institution, when partial tran
quility was restored.
An attempt to destroy the family of
Dr. Sweet, of Norton, was lately made
by a servant girl of the family, who mix
ed a large quantity of arsenic with their
food, of which she herself partook. Tho
whole of the family were taken very ill,
when they accused her of having poisoned
the food. She acknowledged when by
timely remedies, they were all restored to
health. The girl was also sick. To
add to the enormity of the offence, when
two of the children were crying from the
thirst created by the action of the poison
she gave them water, strongly impregna
ted with arsenic.
A very ingenious machine has been in
vented and made solely by Mr AekrilJ,
of Boston. It is built to accommodate
one person, who will, with great ease, be
able to propel it ten miles an hour on a
common road. The principle on which
it is constructed is entirely new, and may
be applied to any purpose in machinery;
it is anticipated it will introduce quite a
new era in mechanics.
A Curiosity. In the Ladies' Institute,
of this city, conducted by ihe Rev. R.
W. Cushman, in Arch, near Seventh
street, there is a clock, which for the in
genious round of duty that it is made to
perform, will compare with any curiosity
of the present day. By an invention of
Mr. Cushman, this clock is made to ring
a bell, calling the scholars together in the
morning, and when they are assembled,
it presents them with ihe word "study
on the upper part of the dial. When the
morning is half over, the bell strikes a
gain, and the word "recess," takes tho
place of "study." By a vote of the schol
ars, it was decided that not a whisper
should be made in the school hours, ex
cept during this recess. While that word

fect order which remains in the Institute;
an establishment, by the way, surpassed
by none in this city for the excellence of
its conduct, and the thorough education
of the scholars there instructed. All the
departments are sustained by the most
competent teachers; the philosophical ap
paratus costly, and extensive, and the la
