Approved; June 15, 1S32, Singular Coincidence. When Judge Clayton visited Philadelphia, as one of the Bank committee, perhaps the first time he was in Church in that city, he had the happiness to hear a long and fervent prayer offered to Heaven for Georgia, the Indians, and Missionaries, and particularly for the unrighteous judge, w ho had sentenced the latter to the penitentiary. We hope the Judge answered Amen, to the whole prayer not excepting even the latter clause. Aezu York Com. Adv. This is probably a fiction but one that incidentally conveys useful truth; It at least serves to disclose what the inventors wish to be true. If such an event as the above ever happened, it might well suggest more coincidences than the narrator thought it prudent to notice. It would show a coincidence in policy between the clerical demagogues who beat the drum ecclesiastic during the last war, and certain reverend partiz.ins of the same school, at pre sent. From pulpits, so occupied, there issues forth no truce to the conflicts of party, so long as such conflicts can be turned to good worldly account. The Editor of the above quoted opposition paper, will find enough of his associates to countenance him in applauding impious adjurations to the Supreme Being publicly offered up from the pulpit to take part in the politics of the day. This is nothing new. It is in humble imitation of those Ministers of the Gospel at the North, who during the hotcst periods of the late war, threatened those who countenanced that war, with all the horrors of eternal punishment, and afterwards published the sermons containing such sentiments. The piety and patriotism of our home bred Aristocracy, are as flagrant now, as they were twenty years ago. They invest nothing either in spirituals, or temporals that will not return them a good pennyworth. Globe, Mina again! We shall never hare done with this fellow and his multitude of imposing names & his fortune. The sheriff and his lawyers will wait long, if we are not much mistaken, for his bequests, although his will be properly authenticated by the Spanish Ambassador. The true story of Mina is this: He is a native of Trinidad de Cuba, his father is a man in a very inferior station in life, with no property whatever. He has been employed by the Custom House at Trinidad, as a watchman or subaltern officer. Mina has been guilty in his native place of many acts of villainy and was imprisoned there. He got away from thence and arrived nt this port. He has no pretentions to character, family, or fortune; on the contrary, as his conduct indicates, is in every point of view a blackguard. We have this information from a source that can be depend ed upon, and if we mistake not, the late Consul of the United States, nowresiding in Philadelphia, can confirm? the truth of what we have stated. Mina seems to be such a consummate liar, that with the grave opening before him, he still continues to utter falsehoods and practice deception; and it is most extraordinary, that with a full knowledge of his crimes, and bearing about him evident marks of the obscuritv of his origin and poverty; people will "stilt believe and publish, his ridiculous attempts at consequence and fortune. Courier and Enq. There were reports in circulation yesterday of some enses of Cholera having actually occurred here. We are happy to say that after a very strict enquiry, we CAif assuxi: the ruBLic that no case of the disease has yet manifested itjelf in the city, indeed, we may add that according to the last accounts we have, there .s no ground for believing that there is a case of Asiatic Cholera on the territory of the United States, A" V.
