yet without means of obtaining it, for the gold alone would the sellers take, and gold was not to be had. By break of day all the banks were surrounded by mobs, and the Civil Power was mustered in front of them. To an agitated and tumultuous day succeeded a night of fearful omen to many an unfortunate family. Several of the bankers set off for this metropolis on Friday, in the utmost haste, to obtain, if possible, means to meet the run. Sir YV. Elford, the head of the firm, is a Baronet, Recorder of Plymouth, and a Magistrate. J. W. Clarke, esq. another partner, is a Magistrate. The third partner is a 3Ir. Tingcomb.

Influenza. A kind of epidemic disease,

wnicn, perhaps may not he improperly denominated the influenza, greatlv pre

vails at present in this city and the adja

cent country, bew lamiiics or individuals have wholly escaped. Many have been so deeply afllictcd, as to be "unable to attend to thcbusiness, and some have been, for several days, confined to their houses, and for the most part to

tneir beds ; yet we have not been inform

and that the public might rely on it, that

their estates are unentailed and unmc u mbe red . Morning Chronical,

T7ie Burmese War. The Madrass Government Gazette, together with the letters from, that Presidency, has been received to the 31st of July. The ac

counts from Ragoon leave little expecta

tion ot any more lighting. I he whole

population declare their aversion to it;

and the Burmese Monarch is absolutely destitute of means for renewing their campaign.

The King of Ava, it is said, has offer

ed to treat, and the Governor-General would probably accede to almost any

terms that could put an end to the hea

vy expense of the war; but little reliance can be placed upon the sincerity of the Barbarian Sovereign, who, according to

the divine opera, wrote out in fair and legible characters, Optra cloaks a bran new importation,. Next morning Joe was standing, as usual, behind the counter, and, behold! a blue-eyed beauty came in "have you any opera cloaks, sweet sir?" Joe down with the opera cloaks, and Blue-eye fitted herself in a trice, and paid the price without a single grudge. Another fair lady came in "you have opera cloaks,5' said 9he. "To be sure we have." said Joe. Away went another opera cloak, and Joe laid violent hands on the cash. By this time, many others came in, and it was "have you any opera cloaks?" "have you any opera cloaks?" until the whole importation was gone, and Joe bad secured the proceeds in the till. "That was a capital advertisement," said Joe, and so thought his employer. Ever since the sale of the opera cloaks by this ruse de guerre, Joe has made his appearance on the second

seat in the pit on the opera nights, and his employer sets him down as a very acute advertisement w riter, as well as a hopeful connoisseur in music.

Webb, which was attached to the regt!ar army. Within a few months past, intelligence was received from all of the eight, who are still living. Waterloo An Irish pper states that the battie of Waterloo was won, not somnch by "Birmingham steel and Britiah valor as by American gold" -in other words, that "Grouchy was bribed by a certain illustrious bride, thrn a widow to lieUy the arrival of his forces at the scene ot action, and that the douceur so opportunely bestowed constitutes part of the claim which it is reported the fair lady has upon the British goveminent." We presume that the lady alluded to is the present marchioness Wellesley, late Mrs. Patter, son, and formerly Miss Caton, of Baltimore Hut we had no notion before, and do not believe now, that she was an agent in purchasing the field of Waterloo, though among those who have thought that gold was more elhcient in producing the result of the baule than steel.

month of December; and is spoken of in the Boston Medical Intelligencer in the

following terms :-

The principal disorders during the

present month have been of an infiama-

tory nature, most frequently occurring about the throat and air-passages, some-

umes extending to the lining of the

branches of the wind-pipe, occasioning

cough, hoarseness, thirst, lassitude, want

ol appetite, i&c. denominated cold, or catarrh, according as they are more or

less severe. A cold, though in itself

slight disease, is often the forerunner of

that highly dangerous, and generally fa

iai cuuipiauii, consumption. 1 ne in

flammation is communicated from the lining membrane of the lungs to their

substance, causing ulceration, and hec

tic lever succeeds. Sometimes it occasions asthma, r dropsy in the chest. It should not, therefore, be neglected; but only the most simple precautions, except when the disease is of peculiar severity, are requisite. When the inflammation extends to the substance of the lungs, it may be known by a hard, harsh, grating sort of cough, the noise of which seems limited to a circumscribed space in the chest, the expectoration is scanty, and for some time, a tenacious yellowish mucus the pulse is generally lagging, the respiration heavier or more oppressed than natural, and though there is cough, pain is often absent. In this state, or in the commencement of chronic inflammation of the lungs, blood letting should be employed, rest in bed, a spare farinacious diet should be enjoyed, and occasionally a mild aperient; digitalis, so as to reduce the pulse to its natural staudard, and keep it there for some lime, has in many cases seemed to check the progress of disease in the lungs. Recorder.

Pirates. Capt. Langdon, of the brig Motion, arrived at New York on Tuesday evening in 29 days from London, informs the editors of "the Evening Post, that live pirates had been taken in Palsada river, by an expedition of 60 soldiers, fitted out at Campeachy and Laguira. The pirate canoe was commanded by Joseph Perez, a native of Cadiz, lately from Havana, and an old offender. Their canoe was 70 feet long, and manned by ten Indians, whom they had taken prisoners on the coast, and compelled to work the canoe. There was found in the canoe, 12 bales cocoa, 5 bales drv

Elephant, to the confines of China, ex

pecting support from that quarter, as well as from the Siamese, on whom the

English cannot place any great reliance, as they have been merely playing their

own game in sunenng the power of the

King of Ava to be reduced, but without

the least desire to promote the British

ascendency. It was supposed that if no

negociation was opened before the middle of October, Sir Archibald Campbell would then move upon Umrnerapora, which ho. would probably find abandon

ed by) Sovereigns.

Artificial Ice. A chemist at Caen has discov

ered a very convenient method of obtaining ice at every season. It consists in mixing, in a

small cask, five pounds of pulverized sulphat of)

soda, with four pounds of sulphuric acid, at SG

decrees. The comoosition is caDableof nuh-.k-

i ly freezing water. This freezing would inevitably take place at once, if large quantities were used ; but in cases in which only such quantities as those abovementioned are employed the vessels necessarily parting with a large portion of their caloric to the bodies which they contain, the mixture must be made three times before the production of ice can be insured

We learn from Arkansas, that the Quapaw Indians were removing from the lands ceded by them to the United States, in Nov. 1824, and were on their way to the lied River country, to join the Caddeaux Indians, on the southern border of that territory. The lands heretofore owned by the Quapaws, is represented as very fertile, and nearly in the centre of Arkansas Territory. Lou. Pub. Adv.

London, Nov. 20.Thc failure of Sir Wrrr. Elford's Bank, at Plymouth, added very much to the alarm yesterday on 'Change. This, by all accounts, was the

most respectable bank in the West of

England. But if this failure was felt on 'Change, what must the effects have been on the spot? We have been favor-! ed with the sight of a letter dated from Plymouth, on Saturday night, describing the distress and the fermentation among the people, in terms which we are afraid to repeat. Saturday was market day both at Plymouth and Dock, and as the country people would not take a single note, and nothing but notes of one bank or another were forthcoming, the people were almost frantic. The holders of notes were crossing & jostling each other in all directions. At Plymouth, the uproar Was dreadful. There was literally a whole population, with" food in abundance staring them in the face, and

have the Colornbian and other govern

than they gave their attention to accomplish the termination of a trafliic which

every man will reprobate as the tfarkest spot on the character of modern times.

Although we nave no great opinion of

the Brazilian monarchy, yet we are glad to discover that measures have been agrced to by this power for the early termination of such a commerce as the slave trade. It shows that the force of pub

lic opinion has reached the counsels of the Portuguese monarchy in the New Wold.

In consequence of the great value of

property which is invested in such a traffic, the period of four years has been allowed to the merchants to close their engagements, and make arragements

for its entire abandonment. After the

expiration of this term, the slave trade

is declared to be put on the list of piracies, in which particular they corres

pond with the laws our country. But,

it also appears, that a mutual right of

search has been agreed to between the

contracting parties, so as to effect its en

tire abolition. In a country where there

exists no naval rivalry in the one towards

stwecn England and the

Brazils, this measure may be carried

peaceably into elfect. It would perhaps prove a source of much discontent among our shipping. Snozcdcns Advocate.

The following anecdote is related in proof of the singular rapidity in the fabrication of wool

len. ' 'irjohn Throgmorton presided one evening 'actly like Sugar from the Cane

at a meeting of manufacturers, wearing a coat, the wool of which, at sunrise that morning, was on the back of the sheep. Thus, in the space of twelve hours, the sheep was sheared,

the wool cleaned, carded, spun, and woven ; the cloth scoured, fulled, sheared, dyed, and dressed In fine, at seven o'clock in th evening, the coat was made. An almost incredible exexample of the power of industry, if true.

.Melancholy Catastrophe A melancholy and distressing occurrence took place on board one of the packet ships on her recent voyage from Liverpool to New York. Whilst on her way thilher, she met with another packet vessel coming from New York to Liverpool. The inquiries usually made on such occasions were inter changed, and amongst other intelligence, the failure of a mercantile house of some eminence in America was mentioned J'v The communication was observed to produce an instantaneous effect on a gentleman who was going to New York as a passenger, and it afterwards appeared that he was one of the partners of the house in

question. So athicting a circumstance could

not tail to excite a deep feeling of comrnisera tion in the hearts of his fellow7 passengers, who

endeavoro-d, as far as possible, to soften and alleviate the anguish occasioTted by a communica

tion so abrupt and distresijig. The next morning, when the cabio-partyl&ssembled to breakfast, the gentlemen did mot appear amongst them as usual; and on the fjeward's entering his

state-room to call him, hefvs not to be found,

One morning he called his clerk Joe to him 'Joe, you will advertise those silk cloaks tomorrow morning.' Joe pulled his pen from behind his ear, cut a piece of the nib off, and then drew out the advertisement. It s?as inserted next day, and next day, and next day again, and ag&in. No buyers came, and Joe had nothing to do but stand behind the counter, with short nib sticking behind his ear, and his bands rummaging in the bottom of his breeches pockets, trying to catch a single six

pence which had hid itself among a handful of

clear buttons. Some time after this happened Joe was again directed to advertise his cloaks, and again it was done. The fair creatures (meaning the ladies of course) approached looked at them tossed them tumbled them, and turned up their provoking little noses. They would not buy no not they they would as soon take the lover's leap out of pure spite. Well things went on in this manner until Signor Garcia and the Italian company set themselves down among us and began una wo-ce-ing and pocofa-ing until every one's head was turned. Joe rummaged his pockets picked out a couple of shillings went up among the gods was in ecstacy and rapture and next morning was directed to put into the newspapers another advertisement about the ever-last

ing cloaks. Joe's head being full of the opera!

The following is an extract of a letter from

an officer on board his B. INl's ship Maidstone,

on the coast of Africa, dated Prince's Island, Sept. 12. It gives an affecting account of the condition of several hundred wretched human beings, found on board a French slave ship bound for Martinique: "I am glad to say the squadron continues healthy, and, with tho exception of the clergyman and one man of this ship, there have been no deaths. At Sierra Leone and Cape-Coast, they are, and have been, very sickly; at the former place they have lost upwards of one hundred troops; & rather more at Cape Coast, since the rainy season. 1 am also glad to say the squadron has been fortunate in captures, so that we are picking up a little. But the French now engross all the trade in slaves. A few days ago we had a long and arduous chase after a large frigate built corvette ship, which we at last ran along side of. She proved to be the French ship Orphee, with a cargo of seven hundred slaves on board, and in a state that would have made your heart ache to have seen. The rascals had nearly all of them chained by the neck, or most of them; the rest by the legs to the deck; and to add to the horror of the scene, the bolts were riveted, thereby showing it was not the intention of the monsters to let the innocent victims of their cruelty loose, until the end of the voyage. She was bound to Martinique. The between-deck was little more than three feet high and the groans of the poor sufferers almost unmanned me. When I desired them to be released, I thought I should have choked never were my feelings so much hurt."

On the subject of longevity, the editor of the New Hampshire Historical collection says: "In the course of my reading for several years, I have noted the names, residence, and age of eld persons who have died in the United states. My list as to the number is incomplete, and for want of information will always remain so. It includes only those who were ninety years of age and upwards ; the whole tmaiber is 2080, one of whom lived to the advanced age of 150 years. Ot this number, 1023 were men, and 1057 women. The smallest number died in the months of May June and August ; but the greatest number in January, February, and March in January, nearly four times as many as in June " Russian .Method- Catch, in a wire trap, until you have 15 or 20 large rats,, (feed them in an extra trap or wire cage until you have that number) then cease to feed them they will soon become ferocious, and tight, kill and feed upon each other; and when only 6 or 8 remain, turn them out accustomed to feed upon their species they will hunt and destroy numbers.
