Lear, "kill, kill, kill." Mr. Dunlap corded his finger forth with, and soon bad a portion of th flesh thereof cut off by a surgeon. He swallowed spirits of turpentioe and sweet oil; applied caustic to the fresh wound, and bathed th arm and hand with salt and vinegar. Notwithstanding this, he had a u pricky sensation" in his hand, and afterwards through the whole system (proceeding probably from his conscience, after tormenting the poor innocent serpents,) which was subdued by opium. Hi is now in a fair way to recover; and will, we should think,leave off the practice of poking his prisoners with a feather, or throwing in rats to sec how they will die, under the inflictions of a serpent's tooih. Every man to his taste, as the Paddy said, when he kissed "a wee gumphi" and those who love to stir up rattle snakes, and revel in the embrace of bra constrictors shall not be prevented by interference of ours. Boston Transcript. Journeymen Printers. The following j jit remark ire contained in an article in the N. York Courier of Thursday , on the subject of the recent revotiou in France. Every printer will acknowledge their truth. "There was a general feeling of hostility to the Bvirbons, but uoiil the royal guard made iuroids upon the liberty of the press, the people even in the capitol, did not 6how destinctive fiigns of rising enmasse. There is perhaps, no class of mechanics more intelligent, more enthusiastic in politics, and more animated in the persuit of liberty, than journeymen printers. Reckless of consequences accessible to every spe
cies of intellectual excitement they are the roving Bedouins of life, and are always the first in any revolution, or movement tending to a revolution. The suppression ol the liberal press in Paris, threw many hundreds of these Bpirited fellows out of employment. Saturated with the political sentiments of their various officer, they, doubtlessly, went am ng the people talked the Dews, the opinion?, and the principles they were not allowed to print, and were the most efficient force that gave lh impulse to the inhabitants of Paris in resisting the illegal acts of the King. They were j ined by the youth of the Ecole Polytechinique , who undoubtedly, frit each one by himself as a young Napoleon, and were equally supported by the students of law, and of Medicine, who are the most enthusiastic lovers of liberty. Thus was the impulse given lo the revolution." A SINGULAR ADVENTURE. O ice upon a lime a traveller stept into a post coach, lie was a young man, jut starting in life. lie found six passengers about him, all of them gray headed and extremely aged men. The youngest appeared to have seen at least eighty winters. Our young-traveller was struck with the mild and singularly happy aspect which distin guished all his follow passengpr9, and determined to ascertain the secret of long lile, and the art of making old age comfortable. He first addressed the one who was apparently the oldest, who told him that he had alwas led a regular and abstemious life, eating vegetables and drinking water. The young man was rather daunted at this inasmuch as he had liked the g od things of thi life. He addressed the second, who astounded him by saying, that he had always eat roast meat and gone to bed regularly fuddled for seven yearsadding ihat all depends on regularity. Thtf third had prolonged his days by tiev-f r seeking or accepting "liie the fourtk,hy resolutely abstaining from all political and religious controversy, and tlv- fifth by going to bed at sunset and rising at dawn. The sixth was apparently much younger than the other five, his htir was les gray and there was m jre of it a placid smile, denoting a perfectly easy conscience, mantled his face, and his voice was jocund and strong. They were all surprised to learn that he was by ten years the old est man in the coach. "How (exclaim ed our young traveller,) how is it that you have thus preserved the freshness of life where there is one wrinkle in your brow there are fifty on that of each and every one of your juniors tell me, 1 pray, your secret of long life?" "It i? no great mystery, (said the old man,) 1 have drank water and I have drank wine 1 have eat meat and vegetables I have held public office I have dabbled in politics and written religious pamphlets I have sometimes gone to bed at sunset and sometimes at midnight, got up at Minriee and at noon but I always paid promptly for the newspaper Constel. Unfortunate Occurrence. Wm R. Patton E(1. of Vevav. was rirmvn ed a few days since in attempting to ford the Ohio on horse back, just below the town of Vevay. He forded the river from Indiana to the Kentucky shore in safety, and was returning to Vevay, but missed the proper ford. gc, in deep water, the horse and rider both
immediately wenl under water, they rose again and again sunk; the horse rose the 3d time and swam to shore, but Mr. Patton sunk to ibenomore. Three or four days afterwards he was found in the river aboat three miles below Vevay, near the Kentucky shore. On examining the body, it was (Ukoyeied that his scull was fractured, and from the print of one of the horse's shoes being visible on his forehead, jt is supposed that his death was caused by the horse's kicking or treading on hinri when he sunk the 2d time. We were not personally acquainted with Mr. Patton, but from information, he was nn intelligent, useful and highly respectable man. hid. Republican. CHINA. The following interesting particulars respecting the Chinese, are from the testimony given before the committee of the British parliament on the affairs of the East India company, by Mr. Crawford, the author of three or four very valuable works on the Indo-Chi nese territories. "The Chinese are not only intellectually, but physically, superior to the nations and tribes among whom they settle. A Chinese is at least two inches taller than a Siamese, and by three inches taller than a Cochin Chinese, a May lay, or a Javanese, and his frame is proportionally strong and well built. Their superiority in personal skill, dexterity and ingenuity are still greater, All this is evinced in a very satisfactory manner, by the simple criterion of the comparative rates of wages of the different classes of inhabitants
or sojourners at any given place where they all meet. At Sincapore, for example, the wages of ordinary labor tor the different classes of laborers are as follows: a Chinese, eight dollars a month, a native of the Coromande! coast, six dollars; and a May lay, four; making the work of the Chinese by one third better than that of the first, and by 100 percent, better than that of the second. When skill and dexterity are implied, the difference is of course wider; a Chinese house carpenter will earn 12 dollars a month; while an Indian will earn no more than seven, and a Malayan thatcher or wood cutter, for among this class there are no carpenters, but five. The different classes of Chinese settlers not only live apart, and keep distinct from the settlers of other nations, but also from each other. There is a very wide difference he tween the character, habits and manners of the Chinese settlers; according to the parts of China from which they proceed. The natives of Fokein have a claim to a higher tone of character than any of the rest. Among the emigrants from the province of Canton there are three classes, viz. those from the town of Canton and its neighborhood; the natives of Macao and other islands in the river; and the natives of some mountainous districts of the same province. The first of these, besides, being addicted to mercantile pursuits, are the btst artizans, and are much disposed to enter into mining speculations. It is they who are chiefly engaged in working the silver mines of Tonquin, the gold mines of Borneo, and the Maylay peninsula, and the tin mines of the latter country and of Banea. The Chinese of Macao and the other islands are held in very little repute among the rest of their countrymen; but the third class, who are numerous, are the lowest in rank. Their most frequent employment is tjiat of fishermen and marines; it is from among their ranks that European shipping, when in want, have occasionally received hands to assist in their navigation. Of all the Chinese these are the most noisy and unruly. There is still another class of Chinese, the settlers in the Burman dominion?, who differ cry remarkably from all that 1 have just enumerated. With the exception of a small number of emigrants from the province of Canton, who find their way to Ava by sea, these are all from the province of Yunan,and in point of industry and intelli gence seemed, as far as I could judge, much inferior to the colonists from Canton Fokein. From all these again, the mixed races are to be distinguished by their superior knowledge of the language, .mnnners- and customs of the countries in which they reside, and by some inferiority in industry and enter prise It is from this class that European merchants are supplied with brokers, money-counters, &c. and they are seldom to be seen in the condition of day laborers or artizans. The Chinese settlers, of whatever class, engage with much eagerness in agricultural employments, seldom, however, when they can avoid it as mere day laborers. They conduct almost exclusively the cultivation and manufacture of the catechu or terra Japonica in the Straits of Malac ca, the pepper cultivation of Siam, and the culture of the cane and manufacture of sugar in Java, Siam and the Philippines. Differing materially from each other in manneis, habits, and almost in language or dialect, and entertaining towards each other prejudices
and antipathies broils and quarreTs. sometimes even attended with bloodshed, frequently break out among them. These are occasion subjects of embarrassment in the (European settlement?, the authorities of which have never, I am persuade J, any thing to apprehend from their combination or resistance; and I may add, that of all the Asiatic settlers in our eastern settlements, the Chinese aie the most obedient to the laws, and notwithstanding the superior amount of their property, and even of their numbers, :aflbrd the least employment to the court of justice. FISUERMEJV "JVhut do you think of this? In one year of Gen. Jackson's administration, the Fishermen of N Jw England have been e formed out ofnaily ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, bountv money. Y'S Fisheimen, General Jackson and clun have taken this
from your pockets and put it into their o:vn. Add lo this. 100,000 dollars more, you have been obliged to pay, part, for supporting a lot of lazy oliice holders, who have been appointed to crush y ou, and you have a tine sum taken from your hard earnings to support a military idol and its worshippers." The foregoing is copied from a Npw England paper, (the Blue Hill Beacon,) and strikingly illustrates the grounds on which the administration of Gen. 'Jackson is opposed in that quarter of the union . J he fishermen of the north can no longer obtuin more bounty money than they are entitled to by law; the abuses that existed in that branch cf the public service have been corrected, and 1GO,000 dollars annually saved to the nation. For acting thus the administration is denounced by the coali tionist but we are confident the honest and economical policy that has been adopted will be sustained by the people. Louis. Pub. Adv. Alois Parties. We understand from the eastern papers .thai two very power ful parties are fennii g in M ?sachu-st-tts. 1 he frank ivnapps, and the Anti. Frank Knapps. The Frai k Knapps are advocating his pardon. The Ar.ties are against it. From the prodigious hiiH and cry which was laised agains' General Jackson, about the six militia menpoor John )Voods and his un fortunate grandmother, during the late canvass, we have no rioubt hut the Fianks will go in mass for the prince of jeasts our friend of the Clarion ought 4 to record this as a favorable omen, another evidence of his increasing popularity. Indiaman. Baltimore. Oct. 1 1. THE ELECTION. We have carefull) colluded the complete leturns of the late elction, and republish them to day, in as correct a form js practicable. The errors, (if anv,) will he found very slight.. We have also prepared an average of the votes given in the several counties, which is also published to-day. The whole will forma convenient table for future reference. After all the boa3ting9 of the AntiJackson party, it will excite some surprise in our friends abroad, to find that the actual majority of popular votes against us is very small ; and that with a mjiity of forty tight delegates in the lower house, they have less than five hundred majority of the people. I' r ever) (en voles oi a popular majority they have one delegate majority. Putti. g the case in another light, and de ducting the eight delegates elected in St. Mary's and Calvert, where the Jackson party had no ticket and rve have a majority of popular votes exceeding one hundred, while they have a majority of delegates amounting to Jorty! This is owing to the gross inequalities wnicry exist in our mode ot representation, the small counties carrying an equal weight with the largest in the house of delegates, and double the weight of Baltimore City. In some of the small counties, the Clay party having succeeded by such slender ma j rities, that notwithstanding the vast majority which they have in Legislature, a very few votea would revolutionize the State. In 1828, at the Presidential election, the votes of Mar land, (exclusive of St. Mary 's County) were For Jackson 23,175 For Adams 23,014 Majority 161 It will be perceived, that at the recent election the votes stood St. Mary's likewise excluded Ami-Jackson 23,323 Jackson 23,216 112 This then is all the change and the whole substance of the "magnificent" victory of the Clay party. They are very thankful for very small favors. There were Jackson votes in Baltimore City not polled, sufficient to more than balance the loss in the State. Twenty-one more delegates than are elected on our side, would give us a
majority onjjoint ballot, and consequently the Governor and Council, and the whole control of the state. Let us see how few change would have given us these twenty-one. The following delegates opposed to us are elected by the average majorities men'ioned: 4 in Kent by 29 4 in Caroline 43 2 in Annapolis 40 3 in Allegheny 29 3 in Worcester SO 2 in Q-ieen Anne3 14 1 in Montgomery 10 2 in Prince George3 21
21 Add to these: 1 in Hartford by 1 in Washington on j 30 29 23 2S0 Those twenty-three, with the sixteen elected, and our eleven senators, give u? ffty votes on j unt ballot, or a majorit) ot five. An increase of Itss than three hundred votes on our fide, or a churge of about one hundred and fifty votes in about for' ty six thousand, would thus change the w hole election. There docs not therefore seem to be any great reason for such extravagant rj icingon the Clay side. That this change is probable no man who has impartially witnessed the course of the National administration, can seriously doubt. It would be a libel upon the good sense of the people of Maryland, lo suppose that any arts however uigenlly practised, can long blind them to the merits of an administration, which has been more brilliant and successful in its foreign policy, than any which has for many years preceded it, and has, at home, made the safety of the constitution and the true happiness of the people, the cardinal points of its ambition. I. dependent, however,of any change$, there is Jackson strength enough in the State, to carry it in our favor, if properly organized and brought forth. The slender majorities received, could by an efficient discipliue and watchfulness on our part, be made less, and many of them transferred to ouiscIvps. Our friends perceive that the actual ground lost in the election, is very small, and they know that in any contest between General Jackson directly and any opponent, he is vastly stronger than his strongest friend?. We have therefore every reason to hope, that the Anti Jackson success at this election, betoken us no very permanent or extensive loss. FREXCH AT AEJV-ORLEAXS. Yesterday evening, the Citzuns of New- Orleans, escorted by the Louisiana Legion, and representatives of all the other companies of our City, conducted Messrs. P. Guilote and A. de St. M auiice on board the biig Trent, j bound for New York. These gentle
men were selected by our citizens to cany to the National Guard of Paris the tri-colored flag, as a testimony of our respect for their heroic valor in the cause of liberty, and their moderation in the chastisement of their oppressors. We individually wish these gentlemen a safe landing in the land of their nativity, and may their utmost wishes as to the situation of France be realized. The following is a translation of the address that accompanies the flag. LIBERTY! LIBERTY!! Glory to you heroic Deputies of France. Glory to you intrepid Parisians. Glory to you illustrious National Guard of Paris. Glory to the virtuous man, to the great Patriot, to the hero so worthy of being now and ever at your head, to the man of July 1775, of July 1789, and of July 1330. Your brethren ofLouisianaelated with your joy and your happiness, have with enthusiasm repeated your songs of glory and liberty. Proud of having been once under the protection of these noble colours which you have so gloriously restored, we have again saluted the flag of the great nation shining with the new lustre you have 6hcd upon it. It has suddenly appeared alongside olthe Star Spangled Banner, and that double symbol of Liberty has been greeted by the acclamation of the people and cannon of our citizen soldiers: and we have celebrated your triumph over tyranny. We have said Let ua choose two sons of France, and let us send them to our brethren let them carry to them that standard to which we paid due respect, and which has witnessed the tears of happiness flowing from our eye?. They will say the citizens of New Orleans and the Offirers and privates of the Louisiana Legion:end these colours to you; accept them as a proof of our respect, our gratitude and admiration let them perpetuate the remembrance of what you have done for the land of their fathers, and for the whole human family. 0r Htre follow (he signatures.

The weather continues cool, even so to the want of woollen apparel; our streets are becoming unph aai,t, from the quantity cf dust that is flying, and the want cf rain.
