He says be will act as a pri vate cilisen with the whig party. a This reminds us of a little affair which occured down east, a good while ago.

Nkw Yobk, Oct. 80, 1851. Tho season is in the sere and yellow leaf, and the trees are somewhat sorrowfully yielding back to the ground tho foliage which sprang from it. Multitudes of leaves are "going the way of all flesh." to assimilate with their original dust. This is said to be " tho melancholy month; the saddect of the year ," and, as I writo, the skies are, like Niobo, all tears, and the south wind is breathing a low, plaintive farewell through the tops of the mulberry trees. I would talk you now a homily, so wise, so oracular, so Bentimental, that you should think yourself in same kind of clairvoyant communication with that eminent moralist (Jny eus, I think it was) who found " sermons in stones, books iu the running brooks, and good in every thing." Speaking of Sermons : Rev. Dr. Spring, of the old Brick Church, where he lias preached nearly half a century, is to commence next 8abbatli a series of 19 Sunday morning lectures upon the " Glo ry of Ckriit."

Two very prominent Presbyterians in this quar ter, are Rev. Dr. Cox and Rev. Dr. Spencer, both of Brooklyn. It is my impression that . Dr. Cox came from Philadelphia. His parents belonged to the denomination of " Friends," sometimes mis named Quakers, and he would have been brought up in that peculiar faith but for a circumstance which singularly illustrates the fallacy of all hu man calculations. Man proposes ; God disposes. While a young man in bis teens, Mr. Cox had a passionate love, as is coommon with youth, for theatrical exh ibitions, and being a good declaim- er be rashly decided to seek the stage for a pro fession. If I am correctly informed, his mother was a widow at this time, but enjoying a compe tency, and a position in society upon which her son's views of a profession would bring much The Christiana KlotersThlrty-ntne more Bills Pound, Ac Philaoklpuia, Oct. 81.

Being a filial and obedient boy, though impetuous and energetic, he went thither, bnt consoled him self in his banishment from the theatrical world by dramatic reading and recitations to a little co terie of young ladles and gentlemen in his new home. In the providence of God, a wonderful revival of religion visited the place, and young Cox was among the most earnest and stcsdfast converts. It had been the Intention of himself and I Ckum to study the Law, but now they set zeilous-1 ly to work to fit themselves for the Presbyterian Ministry. Dr. Cox Is now considerably advanced in life, but hi energy and efficiency as a preacher is unimpaired, and lend a lustre to his profound Scholarship. He usually discourses without notes, and has a Greek as well as English copy of the Biblo before him, and frequently compares tho translation with the origin!. Rev. Dr. Spencer, about the same age, ha a deep, thoughtful expression, at the same time in dicating clear quick perception; He is the author of a remarkably useful book entitled. .

The Rio Grande Revolution Nkw Orleans, Oct. 81. By the arrival of the schr. Major Barbour we have Rio Grande advices of the 24th, which con firm the news sent you last night. On the 23d a party of the Revolutionists, who were rcconnoitering, were fired upon by the Mexi cans, when the former rushed upon Matamoras and penetrated into the city as far as the Custom House, A sharp engagement ensued, in which three Teians, and many more Mexicans, were killed, when the revolutionists were forced to retire The steamer Neptune has arrived with reinforce ments, which were transferred to a small U.

Carvajal was expected to attack Matamoras on their operations for the defence of the place.

Tho London Morning Chronicle publishes the following interesting statement, vouching for its acenrancy, and saying that the Admiralty has or dered an inquiry : Gloucester Friday. An extraordinary circumstance has just happen ed here, which I hasten to communicate. It is almost incredible, but lor the fact that the au thority is undoubted, and the Admiralty have been induced to order an official inquiry, which is now being proceeded with. ' These are the facts : Last Sunday afternoon, Mrs. Russell, a lady living at Wootton, near this city, observed something fall in the garden, while at dinner. 03 sending out the gardener, he found it to be a small balloon, in the car of which was a card, bearing the following inscription : Erebus, 112 W. Loug. 71 deg. N. Lat. Septembers, 1861. Blocked in. The matter was first looked upon as a hoax, but subsequent events led to a communication being made with tho Admiralty, who sent for tho bal loon and card, and immediately on their receipt sent down Capt. Beechy, R. N., to Gloucester, .with, snoiher officer, to make Immiries. Tw Inquiries are now being prosecuted ; Captain Bee chy having been twice at Wootton,' exaraiuing all parties resident there: It turns out that it is a real Government balloon, of exactly a similar kind to those sent out with the Erebus, when she sailed from England. THE SYRACUSE OUTRAGE. The following letter from Mr. Crittenden, to tho United States Attorney for the Northern District of New York, shows plainly the determination of the Administration to enforce the law, under all circumstances, having no respect to persons or lo calities. The strict and Inflexible adherence to the ino of duty marked out by the Constitution, is one of the strongest claims Mr. Fillmore could possibly have on the gratitude of bis countrymen Department of Slate. Washington, Oct. 6, 1851. Sir: The President has learned from the news papers, with the deepest regret, that a disgrace ful outrage has recently been committed by a lawless mob, who bavo by force rescued a fugitive from labor, from the custody of the marshal, thereby resisting the execution of legal process and setting the law at defiance. He hopes that the statements respecting the occurrence arc ex aggerated, especially as it took place at your res idence, and no communication upon the subject has been received from ;ou. But whatever may have been the extent of the outrage, he expects that no efforts will be spared, on your part and that of the marshal, to bring the guilty offenders to justice. The supremacy of the laws muxt be maintained, at every hazard and at any sacrifice. Men whose swom duty it is to execute them, must be protected and sustained in the discharge of that duty. I cannot doubt that the great majority of your citizens are loyal to the Constitution, and that they will aid the projicr officers in bringing to justice those who have wantonly and wickedly violated the most sacred duty of a citizen, in a free Re public, by Betting an example, which, if followed, must endanger the life of every officer charged with the execution of the laws. I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, J. J. CRITTENDEN, Acting Serrttary. To James R. Lawrence, Esq., Attorney of tho U. States for the Northern District of New York, Syracuse1. 80NS OP TEMPERANCE. Raleigh, N. C. November 1.

New Providence, we have received full files of the Riryal Gazette, Bahama raf.and Nassau Guardian to the 22d ult. From them we leftrn that Salt has been in demand at Iuagna, and all at Matthew Town had beeu sliipped.although there wus a considerable quantity already raked, which had not been brought from the pond. The Herald states that the schooner John Wesley, of Nassau was lost on the 27th of Augiut last, at Little Ina gua, while on a voyage ta St. Thomas. The ves sel, we understand is insured in the United States, aud the cargo in France. Loss will be sustained on the freight, which was not insured. We likewise learn from tho same Journal that the American brigantine Wave, of Philadelphia, was wrecked at Maodguane on the 25th Sept., on a voyage from Philadelphia to Jamaica, laden with provisions. Most of the cargo had been saved and taken to Inagua, partly in a damaged state. Salvage had been allowed by the master 60 per cent., and paid in kind.
