LAWRSNCEB(JKGH, Id our last we neglected lo state, that the laws and journals of the last session of the legislature, had been received at the Clerk's office, and were ready for distribution. This is doing a little better than in some former year?, but there is still need hrreform. By another season we hope to see the public printing delivered in the different counties as early as the first of April, or a strict inquiry into the whys and wherefores. "And thou too, my son, Brutus. n The opposition to the Administration have received another severe stab under the fifth rib, from (to them) an unexpected quarter. Rhode Island has forsworn allegiance to Webster Sl Co. and come out boldly for Jackson's administration; not because she loved Webster ess, but because she loved the government and its interests more. The annual election took place in this state in April, and Mr. Fenner, (the Administration candidate for Governor) was elected by a majority of about 1000 votes over Dr. Messer, opposition. Many charges were made in the representatives, so as to induce the belief that tha Administration will have a majority in the legislature. So we go, "conquering and to conquer." Itissupposed that the opposition, routed from New England,vil! make a bold stand in the Canadas next summer. Indian question It will be seen by our congressional notices, that the bill for the removal and premanent settlement of the Indians west of the Mississippi, has passed the senate. This question has been a fruitful theme with the opposition, and afforded them many opportunities for displaying, in fine oratorial touches, their sympathy for the distressed Indian tribes. It was well understood that these professions were not made, in the general, through any good feeling to the Indians, but to affect the administration, and, therefore the) were very properly disregarded by the Senate. Messrs. Hendricks and Noble both voted for the bill; a copy of which the former gentleman politely forwardfid us, but omitted to-day, for the reason that we shall soon, we expect, be able to give it among the laws requiring publication. We would here tender our thanks to Mr. Test for a copy of the report made the house of representatives on the subject of the United States Baik. lis length will prevent its insertion entire; we may make some extracts from it. A young girl named Elmira Shomwell died suddenly ai Hardinsburgh, in this vicinity, on Sunday last, under circumstances that induced the belief that she came to her death by poison. She had, as we are informed, been for some time teoderly attached to a young man in the neighborhood, who, to appearance, reciprocated her feeling. On the day before her decease they had a meeting, when the subject of marriage was talked over 8z urged with some earnestness on her part. lie evaded the question of immediate compliance with her wishes, by telling her that so soon as he was of age, he would fulfil his often rppeated promises. The next morning (Sunday) the . young man was 6een to pass the house in which she resided, without seeming to heed her repeated calls to arrest his attention. This neglect, added to a suspicion that he was about to desert her in the most unpleasant circumstances, is supposed to have confirmed her in the determination to destroy herself, as previously intimated to her lover. The means used for this purpose was of the most deadly nature, as it was observed that, up to a short time before her death, she attended to the domestic concerns of the house with more than common exactness and activity. So far as we can learn, she was a girl of fine disposition and much respected among her acquaintances. Her relations reside at a short distance in Ohio, whither her remains were taken for burial. Removals. We think if it was generally known to the people that the loudest brawler against Gen. Jackson for .making removals, are disappointed office seekers, hirelings, and disbanded officers, there would be little interest felt on the subject. It was to be expected that those who were supported at the public exp ose, and fared "sumptuouV ly every day," would quit their hold with great reluctance, and be disposed to pervert the order, which put them on a level with their fellow citizens, into a breach of the constitution. On the constitutional question much sensitiveness
is manifested, particularly by the disper sedof the tribe of Gales and Seaton, Dr. Watkins, &lc. We have thought somelimes that the removals and changes in and about Washington city, have indeed had a constitutional bearing,particularly upon the lazy, inteniperate,incompetent, and dishonest. Those who were forced by the searching operations of reform to rcorc for a Jiving, are, no doubt, disposed to consider it a matter affecting their constitution and hence the question. From the Shelbyvi'.le Ky. Compiler. The Honorable Thomas Chilton, has replied to Mr. Wickliffe, and Mr. V.
has put in his rejoinder. This controversy has now assumed an interesting character, merely on account of the subject it embraces, and we shall therefore pay some attention to it hereafter. In the mean time, we give below, for the special information of Mr. C's new friends, who consider him quite honest and consistent in his late change, an extract from one of his electioneering hand bills in 1 827. EXTRACT. flAs has often been substantially said, I again repeat, that bad must be the cause, which requires such degrading and unhallowed means for its support. In the first place, they run three candidates agnnst Gen. Jackson for the i PiedeiK.y. Adams, Crawford and Clay. J-tcksou, upon the electoral colleges, conquers their champion (Adams.) A little "intrigue and management" must now be resorted to, else the whole field of eastern highiljers, and western jugglers, must be distanced the la?t heat. To this end we see a speedy and unexpected reconciliation take place, between Mr. Adams and Mr. Clay ; who had previously been sworn enemies; and in a few days, Mr. Clay is announced, in the public newspapers, as a firm supporter of Adams, who had previously been considered, by him, worse than an 'apostate.' This was strange. But Mr. Clay thought half a loaf better than : bread, for, (KJT'as firmly as f believe IN THE PLAINEST PROPOSITION EVER PRESENTED TO MY SENSES, DO I BELIEVE THAT Mil CLAY DID DISTINCTLY UNDERSTAND, PREVIOUS to his CO-TURNING OVEU-CG the rote of Kentucky to Air. Adams that he (Clay) zous on that condition and that ALONE, to Be made Secretary of the United States I fui thr believe, thai no other, condition?, COULD or would have induced him to vole for Adams." From the Nashville Republican. Another Steam boat Accident. On Friday last, as the Steam B at Tally-ilo, Turner Master, was proceeding down the Cumberland, near Dover, one of her boilers bursted killing a sailor and a negro, and so terribly burning the Engineer, Mr. Sturdevant, that he died a few hours after. We understand the Boat had just received a supply of wood, was in the act of putting off, and the Engineer about to let the steam upon the Engine, when the cap of the boiler, which appears to have been very imperfectly made was forced off, projecting the boiler to the rear wheie it confined the Engineer burning him fatally. This accident appears to have been caused solely by an original defect in a part of the boiler; and no blame can attach to any manager of the boat. The Tally-Hd, which is not materially ii jured, is a new boat and the property ol Messrs. Nichol and Hdl of this place. Mr. Sturdevant the Engineer, was a citizen of Nashville and a worthy man; he has left a family which zvill not be forgotten by those in whose employment he was unfortunately killed The Indian Question. On Saturday, April 24, the Senate passed the bill providing for the removal of the Indians, by a vote of 28 to 19, Mr. Smith of Maryland, being absent from indisposition, Messrs. Hendricks, Noble and Johnston, voting with the administration. The following was the final vote upon the passage of the bill. Yeas Messrs. Adams, Barnard, Benton, Bibb, Brown, Dickerson, Dudley, Ellis, Forsyth, Grundy, Hayne, Hendricks, Iredell, Johnston, Kane, King, Livingston, M'Kinley, Ml-an, Noble, Rowan, Sanford, Smith, of S. C.

Hydrophobia. A fatal case of this dreadful malady has recently occurred in this place. The unfortunate sufferer was a little girl, about eieven years of age, named Haly, residing in the suburbs of the town. She was bit thro' the arm by a dog on the 25th of Jan. last, and on the 13th inst., forty eight days after the occurrence, the disease appeared, attended with the usual symptoms. Death ensued within three days alter the appearance of the malady. A a sh v il I c Rep abl ica ) .
From tbe Delaware Ohio Patron! Distressing Casualty. We learn, verbally, that three joung men (brothers) lost their lives in the east part of Marion County on Friday last,by the presence of carbonic acid pass, familiarly denominated damps. The first entered the well, for the purpose of cleaning it out : but had descended but a part of the way, when he suddenly fell to the bottom. His mother who was standing by supposing he had slipped, called another son immediately to his relief; who having descended a few feet, also
tell in the same manner, bhe then called the third and last son, who also entered the fatal well. He had scarcely begun to descend, when he called out "mother 1 am faint," aud instantly shared the fate of hisunfortunate brothers. On assembling the neighbors, it was soon ascertained that the well was so completely charged with the noxious vapour, that a lighted candle was extinguished within six feet of the surface. The lifeless bodies were taken out as soon as it could be done consistent with the safety of those assisting. What makes this case peculiarly distressing, is the fact, that the father of the young men is blind, and they were his principal, if not only support. The name of the family, our informant did not recollect. Murder. The first and second officers of the packet ship Wm. Byrnes, have been committed to Bridewell, charged with the murder of Thomas Ring, a boy 13 years of age, on the 24 1 h of January last, while on her passage from this port to Liverpool. It is stated that the boy, who came on board somewhat intoxicated, was severely flogged, and afterwards lashed to the fore top sail bits, which caused his death in a short time, the weather being intensely cold. The case having occurred on the high seas, it will come on for trial at the May term of the United StatesCircuit Court, before Judges Thompson and Botts. A'. Y. Sentinel. It is quite amusing to witness the jwy of the coalitionists at the rejections which have taken place in the Senate of the United States. They fancy that every unconfirmed nomination will bring them another Chilton. Lee is rejected "What a triumph !" say they "equal to the gain of a whole state!" Decatur's nomination is not confirmed. "Glorious victory!" cry the coalitionists, nnd toss their caps in the air. Hill is rejected "Glory!" they exclaim "Huzza boys! another triumph ! we're gaining ground." We are glad to find that there are some acts of the present administration which the coalitionists can take comfort from. It would be a pity to keep them always in a bad humor. The late elections in New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Connecticut, have given them the dyspepsia oo confoundpdly, that if it were not for the Executive proceedings of the Senate, we should be quite at a loss for something to laugh at. As it is, whilst we receive real solid joy from the elections in the Eastern States, we derive light amusement from the harlequin pranks of the coalitionists at tbe proceedings of the Senate. Fred. Citizen. Mr. Clay coming out a Jackson Man. This is true. At a great dinner at Natchez Mr. Clay says that "ic has sometimes erred he zcas but a man." And further: "The brilliant success of the American arms before new Orleans, directed by Jackson, on the glorious 8th of January, taught a salutary lesson to our foes, not soon to be forgotten. And Mr. President, now, as on all proper occasions, 1 take pleasure in awarding to to that distinguished individual the applause due to his meritorious services. By the aid of the sterling valor of the American troops, he achieved for himself and his country a lasting fame." Mr. Clay is at his old ruse of the "rifle" again A". Y. Cour. and Enq. A female servant at Berlin having been sent to wash some linen in the river, the ice broke and the girl disappeared under the water. She afterwards rose to the surface and called for help, but again sunk, bhe appeared a second time above the water, when her master's dog seizing her handkerchief, dragged her upon upon the ice which again broke; the handkerchief became untied, and the unfortunate girl again disappeared. She rose for the third time, and grasped one of the dog's ears. The faithful animal then seized her by the arm and dragged her to the bank. The dog has since became so much attached to the servant, that he refuses to quit her foran instant. Tbe Steam-boat Kentuckian on her passage from New Orleans, was snagged under her boilers. The snag penetrated through the vessel to the pilot's deck; and compressed one of the boilers, but did not burst it. Ky. Report a:

Rumor says one of the boilers of the Feliciana exploded, since she left this port for Nen-Orlean? ; but we cannot ascertain where or when the accident occurred. It is said no lives were lost. Louisville Pub. Advcr. A fat descendant of one of the old Dutch burghers of this goodly city, was awhile ago attending an auction sale. Every body knows that at these sales a nod is taken for a bid. Very soon after the sale commenced, the Dutch merchant, who had set up late at a row-de-do w the night before fell into a comfortable snooze: in which condition, as people are apt to do who sit and sleep he kept ilA'od nod noding." The auctioneer, supposing he was buying goods all the while, knocked down several thousand dollars worth in his name. The sale was closed' and the Dutchman, unconscious of having made any purchases, rubbed his eyes and returned home, It may well he supposed then, that he was prodigiously astonished the next morning, when a bill of goods as long as his arm, purporting to have been purchased by him the day before, was sent to him. "Here's a bill of goods, sir," said the Mercury of the yard-stick. "Mine goots!" exclaimed tbe Dutchman, "wat goots." "Why, the goods you purchased yesterday at auction." "Mine Gott! I buys no goots yesterday. 1 attents a sale to be sure, but I did not pid." "Not bid! How comes it then that the goods were struck down to you!" "Mine gracious! now I links how it was I gets ashleep, and while I was noddin, de tarn auctioneer made de mistake." A'. Y. Constellation. The Ohio has been falling for some time past, but is still high enough to admit steam boats of ordinary size to ply between Louisville and Cincinnati ; and perhaps as high as Maysville. MAIL STAGE.
