Our readers have often read of highway men", but it was reserved lor then present gem ration to have 'their e la tickled with a highway woman Yet true it is a few nights ago, as a yviHig woman was coming into ihunliie?, with her "penny fee," or half year' wages in her pock ei, she was accosted oo this ide teuton, by a matronly woman, ho sans cehkmonie deraandtd the money she had got fiom such and audi a person. The girl was not to hf fntrhtened bv une of her ow n trx, so told her candidly, that if she attempted to harm her, he would give her a blue eye, and to it they tet, vi et aumis. They strugg!ed fur some little time, but at last the. girl sot out of her grip, and fairly floored her antagonist by a blow on t te chop", and she went realing into the ditch at the side of the road. -At this time a roan came up, and on hearing the girl's story, he proffered his protection, remarking that be thought the old hag would not come to the scratch in time, and left her to meditate bow far the "even-in-s amusement would bear the morning' a reflection."

Providence. March 3. Shocking A coroner's inqoest was held on the body of Martha Snow (aged about 33) found dead in her bead on Saturday morning last. She occupied a mora in a house on North Main st. near the Haptist Meeting house, and it appears, was laid on her bed in a state of intoxication ('o which she was unhappily addicted) al out noon on Thursday, where, she remained tin til Saturday morning, when found dead. .J physician, who attended the inquest, supposed she must have expired 36 hours befor? the examination. Tw o children of tin deceased, 4 and 6 year of age, bait slept in the same bed for two nights before- her death was discovered The eldest supposed her mother was sound asleep. It is said the deceased ha9 left considerable property, and the unfortunate little children will be provided for. The Jury returned a verdict of death from cause unknown. BON MOTS. Judge Bacon, an ancestor of Lord n. Count Vender i, before passing judgment upon a culprit, wno had been convicted of a capital offence, put the "sual question to Jiiau "Know you, or have yc-u any thing to sny. why sentence of death should not be pronounced against yon for the crime wnereof you stand convict' ihe cult rit answered, that he hoped his lordship w mid reftain from passing so cruel a sentence neon one of bis own relations. One of in j relations? enquired tne. stern iudge Culprit! how are you and I related? Why, mv Lord , your n me is Bacon and my name is Hor; and between hog and t'acim purely yeur lordship will recognize i very near relationship. Indeed, retort- : t"e facetious Judge, there is a resem blance; nut you know that hog can never he bacon until it has been hung. Vv e nut i;ave von well hung ahd then you maycome and claim your relationship! The great Frederic of Prussia, while reviewing1 his trortps observed in the rank? a corporal with a splendid watch chain hanging from his pocket Surprized at o costly an appendage in the ranks, and thinking that possibly it might have been the reward of some brave action, the king determined to inquire further into the af fair; and to thai nd, stopped Ins horse in front of the so dier and enquired, "ic' is the dock?'' The corp ral, agitated at being accosted by his sovereign, and still more so trom the impossibility ot his an swering the question, blushed, and would fain have evaded the enquiry. I he king reiterated the question; and the poor fellow was constrained to draw his chain when the king, discovering only a ouet at t!ie end of it, again enquires, "Well corporal, what dots that tell hi?" Pardon me, my sovereign, says the corporal, it does not indeed inform me the hour of the day; but I received it in the service of my country, and keep it to remind me of my duty to be ever readt to pre for your ma je?ty. rieased with the reply, Frederic at-erwards s nt him a gold watch, as a m'-e suitable appeudantto the rich chain ot the corporal Montreal, Canada, March 15. On Sunday week, a surprising surgical operation wa performed at Bytown. A man named Hamilton, in a state of intox ication, attempted to swallow a p e e of beef, which was too large, and stuck in his tbroat. All the symptoms of strangulation followed. His breathing was stop ped. His face and hands became black, and after several violent struggles, he lay qniet and apparently dead.

The man is now quite well. It is rumored that an order has been received from Washington, directing the company of Ui ited States troops, now at Sackett's Harbor, to remove forthwith to the disputed territory on the north eastern boundary of the United States, ai d to take post upon the line. The three eompanbs now at Green Day are to join the compares and the whole are to be ui de r the command of Major Claik. The necessity and oh iect of this movement, are. of course, not nude public; but it is not a matter of surprise that those steps should be taken, if thf complaints of our fellow citizens of Maine are well founded. Our Government is bound, by a respect to its dignity, to prompt measures when its citizens complain of being arrested and imprisomd by a foieign power, because they will not acknowledge its jurisdiction. It it also said that a communication to Congress is daily expected from the I'n sident, which will be received with deed doors. What miy be its import we do not undertake to say. We give these rumours as they rear-h us, without pretendir.g to vouch for their accuracy. Caz. From the Xfarylander. The last Cincinnt Republican contains an "extract of a letter from a member of Congress to a citizen of Cincinnati," which ontains, among a variety of statements as outrageous and unfounded a any w ever recollect to have seen circulated aainst the present administration, one ad mission of wtiich we are desirous that tne member of Congress and his party shall have the entire benefit. After telling the citizen of Cincinnati that the resolution of Mr Sloane, relative to the mihtia men ''was obvioul p, imed by Clay," the member of Congress pro eeeds "we at once perceived their object and restricted tht m to the documents nhicb we knew would not injure Gen Jackson. It 18 thus admitted that restriction was resorted to for the purpose of saving tien. J itkson from the withering ffHct f tco much truth. Tet after all this preliminary caution, it seems tea so nu h truth leaked out in the document, that it tvas thought necessary by the Committee on Military Atfiors to prevent the documents from goiug furtti to the public e en after the House had expressly ordered them to be printed, until time was given to prepare a sophistical report, to accompany them. V' the document were such that, to quote from the "member of Congress," "no honest and unprejudiced man, after perusing them, can f ail to approve Gen. Jackson's conduct throughout,' whence the necessity of keeping hem b:ck, until the report should be prepared to go out with them Hhy couid not the public be trusted with the perusal of the naked documents? Do the Jarkson party, after all their cant about virtue and in'el igeuce, disbelieve the ex s'ence ot thes qualities amoeg the A merican puopl; ? The very coure pursud by the Committee the very course pursued by the friends ef Gen . Jackson, h en the information waa called for, ive8 a 'flat contradiction to the statement of the letter widen to Cincinnati. 7'h. fi.ends of Gen. Jackson did and do IVwrthe operation of public honesty and intelligence; and they labor to poison the ne, and blind the other. As to the s ander against "John S'.oane ot tbe Ohio," that he is "one of the most malignant tooto belonging to Mr. Clay," we but echo the opinions of ail who have watched bis course in Congress, from his first taking his seat, wheii we say, tnat there is not in the House a more honest, i more industrious, a more intelligent, or a more independent member. JYatwnal Journal. In a discusirn ou Wednesday, in the House of Itepresentativi't, on the subjact of a joint resolution providing for the distribution of tbe Books purchased by Congress, a subject oue uiig;ht reasonably soppose holding up but little temptation to declamatory harangue, Mr Randolph rose and repeated to the House the thrice-told tale of the misrepresentations of bim which are to be found in the Register of De bates. He urgpd the (act of these misrepresentations as a reason why those books should be locked up in the Library, and not suffered to be circulated through the Union. By one of these easy digressions, for which Mr. Randolph is so remarkable, and which arefralways toleratod in bim by the indu'gent courtesy of the Chair, which exhibits a laudable tenden.ts fr bis infirmity, be thence branched oil into an attack upon Mr. Wrght, on account of tbe report of Mr. Wright's remarks on Friday, upon the bill making appropriations for Internal Improvements. Mr. Randolph charged Mr Wright with sending h;s remarks tor publication, and with misrepresenting b'ui, (Mr. Randolph.) Wright, in a series

of caustic remarks, showed that Mr. ftan

dolph bad stated on the floor bis intention to report his own speeches, and nau aciu ally published one of them in a pamnh let Ini in. with an aitnlx of notes t"n taining charges against tbe Officers of tha Government, which had not oeen em braced in his sneech asdelivreed. Mi Wright also defended his remarks, as published, from the charge ot misrepresentation. , Mr. Randolph then stated that be was about to enlarse bis speech and notes, for the purpose of giving tbe world the benefit ol a second canton tons-e emendation. Thus the original accu ser is charged with the very offence he alleges afainst another, but actually con fesses his guilt and avows his intention to repeat the offence. Ib.
