JLde Foreign Jczvs. , FOREIGN ITEMS. The Bank Charter renewal, the East India Company, and the Slavery Abolition Bill, have respectively become laws ofthe realm. Aiinst the passage of the litter, the Duke of Wellington and others entered the following: ' PROTEST Of M Grace the Duke of Wellington against the West India Slavery Bill. DlSSENTIEXT 1st. Because it is attempted by this bill to emancipate a nation of slaves not prepared by a previous course of education, of religious instruction, or of training to habits if industry, or of social intercourse, for the position in which they will be placed in society. . ! ' 2d. Because the value, as possessions of the Crown of Great Britain, of the colonies in which thsse negroes are located, as well as the value of their estates to the proprietors and colonists, depends upon the labor of the negroes to obtain the valuable produce of the soil sugar whether as slaves, as apprentices, or as free laborers for hire. "d. Because the experience of all times and of all nations, particularly that of modern times, and in our own colonies and in St. Domingo, has proved that men uncivilized, and at liberty to labour or not as they please, will not work for hire at regular agricultural labour in the low grounds within the tropics; and the example of the United States a country but thinly peopled in proportion to its extent and fertility, and always in want of hands has shown that even in more temperate climates the labour of emancipated negroes could not be relied mon for the cultivation of the soil; and that the welfare of society, as well as that of the emancipated negroes themselves, required that they should be removed elsewhere. 4th. Because the number of negroes on the several islands and settlements on the continent of America, in which they are located, is so small in proportion to the extent of the country which they occudv, and the fertility of the soil is so great, and the climate, (however insalubrious and little inviting to exertion and labor,) is so favorable to vegetation and the growth of all descriptions of the produce of the earth, that it cannot be expected that these emancipated slaves, thus uneducated and untrained, will be induced to work for hire. 5th. Because upon this speculation depends the value of a capital of not less than 200,000,000 sterling, including therein the fortunes and existence, in a state of independence, of thousands of colonists nid proprietors of estates in the colonies the trade of the country the employment of 250,000 tons of British shipping, and of 25,000 seamen and a reverse which produces to the Exchequer, upon sugar alone, not less than 5,000,000 sterling per annum. 6th. Because the bill, in enforcing upon the colonists the emancipation of their slaves, attains its object by enactments and measures least calculated to concilitate their feelings and interests, and those of th" local legislatures, by whose iufluence and authority the powers of government in the colonies must continue to be exercised. 7th. Because in the details of the measure an en-gig-iment made to the proprietors of estates in the colonies has been violated; and a resolution agreed toby both houses of Parliament, and communicated to the colonies, has been departed from, and the period of apprenticeship altered from 12 to 6 years. Proprietors who have slaves 12 years of age, are under the necessity of making them apprentices as domestics or artificers. Persons are to be appointed special magistrates, (for the execution of the mejsures ordained by this bill,) unconnected with the colonies, not sufficient in number for the performances of the duty even of protecting the property and persons of the resident proprietors, or sufficiently paid to render them respectable or even efficient. The colonial legislatures are required to enact laws to carry into execution these measures under pain of the loss by proprietors of slaves in the colonies, and of all particlpition in the compensation held out by tin bill, in case those laws should not be conformable to the model therein give to them. The competition for loss is not in reality raised or granted; nor floes the interest upon the grant accrue from the period at which it is stated to be intended that the compensation should be given according to the usual practice. The colonial legislatures must first pass certain ?'vs-; and then commissioners, appointed under the nnt iority of the bill, are to proceed to make a distribution among nineteen colonies of the whole sum lH out, and that according to a principle which is r-Uered bv mmvof the colonial nroorietors to bn rtrtial and unjust. This distribution having been cor na :e and atrreed to, the detail distribution to each proprietor of the compensation is to be made by the & vise commissioners; but appeals to His. Majesty in e-nncil may be made upon the original as well as tnon every other distribution by the commissioners, eich of them requiring renewed reference to the colony, and occasioning, of course, interminable litgition and delay postponing the receipt of compensition by the proprietor of the slave, for years after he will have lost the benefit of his services. Pth. Because the extension of the act 52, George IIT, chap. 155, by the 6!st clause of the bill to the colonies, is not necessary for the apprenticeship and emancipation of the slaves in the colonies; it is not justified by any thing that has passed; and will be considered by the colonial legislature as a gratuitous injury, and a breach of their independent authority as provided by the acts of 1773, and respected from that time to this. WELLINGTON, ST. VINCENT, PENSHURST, WYNFORD. The London Sun, in commenting upon the acts cf the past session, gives the following review, which we are inclined to think, speaks the general sentiment ofthe Deoole of Emrland: The session of Parliament is this dav brought to a close, as will be seen by the proceedings in another column, it nas been a long and momentous one; ana though, on the whole, it has not fullv realized the public expectations, yet tbere can be no question that it has effected much good, and shown a oispoion me nrsi ran lament that ever did to lo?'oi: te for the general benefit of the community. Tfce tlree great leading questions of the day, whose settle -.nt was a matter of pressing necessity h. been (i s v?sed of, viz: the Rank Charter, the East jndiaiv.iarter, ana, mosi aimcun ana emoarrassmff of all,l the W est India slavery question. Besides these, many minor, but still momentous measures, have been put in train of adjustment while many more that should, have been long ere this decided, fcave been injudiciously postponed. Ihis tarry awhile' system has found too much favor in the eyes of our first Reformed Parliament, which must be far more decided and energetic than it has yet shown itself, if it wishes to preserve the respect and confi dence ot the people. .4 Vigilant Watchman.-On the night ofthe 9th ultimo, as one of the watchmen in New-York was trtmg yuietnap on his post, some arch rogue extracted from his vest pocket a gold patent lever a"-" w " louaouars.

The casa of the Cherohccs and Creels Dktiagvished. There is such a pronenessto misunderstand or misrepresent? the questions, which have led to the present difficulties in Alabama, and to confound them with the Cherokee dispute, that we shall for some days continue to insert this brief ahslract of the matter, shewing conclusively that the course of the Administration has been perfectly consistent, and strictly in accordance with the law. j The right to remove intruders from the Indian country, is an act of jurisdiction, and is guranteed by virtue of the act of Congress of March 3Uth, 1802, which provides for the employment of a military force in the removal of those persons, and then adds, "that nothing in this act shall be construed to prevent any trade or intercourse with Indians, livingon hnds surrounded by gettlements of citizens of the United States, and within the ordinary jurisdiction of any of the individual States." The Cherokee country east of the Mississippi, embraces portions of North Carolina, Georgia,; Tennessee and Alabama. The "settlements of the cilizens of the United States," surround all these Indians; but they are not all "within the ordinary jurisdiction of any of the individual states." Georgia and Alabama have extended their laws over them North Carolina and Tennessee have not. Consequently, the intercourse act, as it is called, being the act of March 30lh 1802, does not now, by its own limitation, extend over those portions of the Cherokee country in Georgia and Alabama. It is not the Executive, as has been charged, that nullifies this act in these Slates. But it is an express provision of the act itself, which terminates its own operation, whenever the two special facts occur; that is, the surrounding of the Indians by white settlements, and extension of ordinary jurisdiction over them. I But in Alabama, the intruders upon the Creek country, do not occupy Indian lands. These lands were ceded to the United States, in March, 1832, by the Creek Indians, and a right to certain reservations, granted to them, to be located as soon as the country could be surveyed. These locations

are now going on, and we understand will be completed as soon as possible. The treaty provides, that intruders shall be removed from these lands "in the same manner as intruders may be removed from other public lands," &e. And the act of Congress, to which the treaty here refers, is entitled uAn act relating to settlement on the lands of the United States,'" and was passed March 9, 1S07. An act to prevent settlements being made on lands ceded to the United States, until authorized by law," and was passed March 3d, 1807. It provides, "that if any person shall take possession of or make a settlement on land, ceded to the United States, &lc. such person shall be liable to fine and imprisonment, and "it shall morever be lawful for the President of the United States to direct the Marshal, &,c. and to employ such military force, as he may judge necessary and proper to remove from lands, &-c. any person or persons, &c." Under this act, agreeably to the requisitions ofthe treaty, the removals are now directed. And we repeat what we have before said, that the act 1802, providing for removals is an exercise of jurisdiction, as the U. States cannot claim the land in the Indian territories. But the act of 1809 for the removal of intruders from the public lands, is only the exercise of a special power, delegated to Congress by the Constitution "to make all needful rules and regulations concerning the territory and other properly of the U. S." It is simply an act of ownership, and not of jurisdiction. The Cherokees in Alabama yet hold their land. Therefore, this act of 1807, does not extend to them, and this explains in a few words, why the government could not employ military force in the remo val of intruders from their lands in that State. If they should cede if, as the Creeks have done, then this act would apply. Globe. NIAGARA WHIRLPOOL. This whirlpool, which is several miles below the Falls of Niagara, is a large deep basin, about the size of Primerose Hill, at the back of Chalk Farm, in which the waters of the mighty St. Law rence revolve in one perpetual whirl, caused by their being obstructed by an angle of the deep and dreary banks which overhang this dreadful place. Mr. v aiiace the blacksmith, had a son, a fine youth, who one dayvfffmt down to the whirlpool, and the current proving too strong for him, he was carried into the whirl. His poor distracted mother sat on the nloomv bank for hours and da vs. and hehnM the body of her own darling carried around in a circle by the water, sometimes disappearing for a time and then coming up and revolving upon the surface of his watery grave, and thus continuing for several days, no human aid being available even to obtain his remains. After five or sixdavs. bodies which get into this dismal cauldron are carried i ' - - down tne river, it is usual lor persons rattincr tim- - . bor from places between the Falls and the Whirlpool, to get offthe raffbefore they come to the ba sin, first placing the raft in such a position as may nest enable it to float clown the stream without being carried into the whirl. On one occasion, however, one of the raftsmen refused to leave the raft, he was not afraid, all would go safe, entreaty was unavailing, and the raft with the unfortunate headstrong man upon it, made its way downwards, and was soon drawn within the fatal circle, around which for three days and three nights it continued to revolve, all the efforts of a thousand anxious spectators proving unavailing. Tho continual and sickening motion he underwent, robbed the poor sufferer of all power to eat sleep he could not, a dreadful death was before his eyes, so much the more terrible that it was protracted night after night in such a place. At last a man was found who ventured into the whirl as fir as he could with the hopes of life, a strong rope being tied around his middle, one end f which was on shore. He carried a line to throw to the rati, succeeded: the agonised sutterer l;tstened it to the raff, and in this way he was drawn on shore, and his life preserved. RVKenzie's Sketches ofthe U. States.

Extraordinary Case. A St. John (N. F.) paper of the 20th ult. relates the following particulars of the dangers and delays of a voyage from Cork to that port, which, if it came from a less satisfactory source, would appear almost incredible. The annals ofthe trade, says, the St. John writer, cannot, we believe, Turnish a second instance of a vessel having been driven by the ice a distance of nine hundred miles from her track. The schooner Maria Eliza, Captain Hughes, which arrived here on Saturday last, from Cork, via Greenland, has been a missing vessel for some months past. She sailed from Cork on the 15th of March, for this port, with a cargo of pork, butter, potatoes, &c. and on the 11th ofthe following month, fell in with fields of ice, by which she very shortly became surrounded. From tint period the vessel became the sport of the wind and current, and ice, until the 30th of April, she was driven (still locked up) towards the land, which was extremely difficult to distinguish from the immense islands of ice, by which it was bounded.

After considerable exertion, the crew succeeded in getting the vessel through and found to their great astonishment, they were on the Coast of Greenland, some of the natives having pushed off in their canoes. On the 15th May, they entered a small harbor called Nenncorfelik, about four miles east of Cape Farewell, very much exhausted from their sufferings in the ice, and, having no fuel or water remaining, received hospitable reception from the Danish factor there. After some days delay at this place, they proceeded along tho shore, which was only clear of ice to the extent of a mile to the principal port, Julianahabb, in Int. Gl, the residence of the Governor, who rendered them every assistance in his power About iwo months after their arrival at this port, a Danish brig, which is annually despatched from Copenhagen with supplies for the factories, arrived there, and Captain Hughes then finding it would be impossible for him to get clear of the coast or the ice without assistance, concluded on remaining till the brig was ready to sail. On the 31st cf August, he sailed in company with the brig, and arrived at this port on Sunday last just six months from the time of her leaving Cork. There were two gentlemen passengers on board, Mr. Hickson and Mr. Propham, whose friends had long since mourned for their loss. During the vessel'sdetention in Greenland, the agents at the several Danish Factories were very ready to offer them kind assistance, and the native Esquimaux, who appear a simple honest race, afforded very acceptable services. While the vessel was coasting along shore, it was found necessary to tow through the floating ice, which was done by skin boats, rowed by the native women, who were also very useful in providing articles of clothing for the crew. The winter had set in very severely previous to the departure ofthe Maria Eliza. Ira West Gardner. This individual, convicted in Trumbull county of murder in the first degree, and who was sentenced to bo executed on the 4th ultimo, was respited, it will be remembered, to the 1st instant. Gov. Lucas having declined to extend to him further mercy, the criminal, in all prob ability, has ere now paid the forfeit of his life to the ! offended laws of his country. Columbus Sentinel. In a letter addressed to the Sheriffof the county, which we find published under date of the 12th Oct., Gov. Lucas sets forth tho reason for tho course pursued by him, in a manner that must prove satisfactory to all. Having examined the documents connpetod with the trial with that solemn attention, says the Governor, their importance demanded, he is "unable to discover any palliating circumstance that would justify further Executive interference in his (the criminal's) case. "He has been charged tried and found guilty of a crime which the laws punish with death. The Supreme Court has pronounced that Sentence against him; and as far as I have been enable to learn public opinion, tho people of Trumbull county, where the offence was committed, generally approve the sentence, and have no desire to have it commuted. "Whatever may be my private opinion as to the propriety of public executions, and the utility of adopting solitary confinement for life, instead of capital punishment, as Executive, I am under a solemn obligation to execute the laws as they are and cannot without substantial and satisfactory reasons arrest their progress no such reasons exist in the present case. "I therefore consider it my duty to inform you, and through you to inform said Gardner, that the Executive will not interfere further in his case but that on the first day of November next, as specified in the warrant of respite, the sentence of the Court against him will be executed." A case in point. Not long since, a man at the West was prosecuted for employing a Runairay Apprentice, and $100 recovered, together with cost of suit, which when added to the fee paid his Lawyer, apd his own personal expenses, amounted, perhaps, to the comfortable sum of one hundred and fifty dollars more. The usual caution was given, by advertising the runaway in a local Newspaper but the defendant had never taken a Newspaper and did not know that he was obliged to take one! his wifo hid sub scribed for the New-York Observer and did not believe that the advertisement was in that! This is as it should be ignorance, parsimony and fully should be punished. Sag-Harbor Corrector. A panic. In consequence, it is supposed, of digging the foundation ofthe large brick store now erecting in Ann street, adjacent to the Catholic Church on the west, that side ofthe latter edifice losing its support, was observed some time ago to be giving away, and props were applied to prevent its falling, but not till several fissures had appeared in the front wall particularly two over the western door about an inch wide, and extending irregularly to the roof. Tho building by this means has been materially injured; and it has been not without serious anxiety for the personal safety that the congregation have attended there since the occurrence. In this state of feeling, they were assembled and engaged in divine service yesterday morn ing, when about half after eleven, a sudden gust of wind shaking the window, which had been loosened by the fissures above spoken of, some person cried out that the house was falling, and spread a general panic throjghout the congregation. A simultaneous rush was made for the several doors and windows; a scene of confusion and alarm ensued that defies description. While the house was clear-

we saw several children much disordered in

appearance, ana complaining ol having been wirown down and trampled by the crowd, but who were probably more alarmed than hurt. Ono lady wo observed with bonnet and cap torn off, hair dishevelled, and face covered with blood having thus suffered while endeavoring to extricate her little daughter, from whom she had become separated. Another female had just been carried away with a limb fractured just above the ankle. Ono gentle au .toted 1.1. .rutm.in1, by Awing himself; k upon the pavement from the lion window ot the second story, from which several others subsequent ly descended by means of a ladder. The destruction of apparel was of course ampb The hats, bonnets, cips, shawls, kerchiefs, combs and shoes found trampled under foot after the house was cleared, would have been a clever load for a porter's cart. Many of the assembly were a good deal bruised; but the broken limb already mentioned, was, we are happy to learn, the most serious injury experienced. y, Y. Enquirer. A trial took place in Providoncc list week, of very considerable interest, from the novelty as well as the turpitude of the crime charged upon the pns-1 oner. Mrs. Frances Leach was indicted jointly i with David Gibb3 for the murder of a girl named Burdock, a domestic in the service of Gibbs, who was an inkecper in the town of Coventry. The death ofthe young woman resulted from an attempt on the part of the prisoner to procure an abortion: Gibbs bein? ioined in the indictment as an accessary before the fact. Judge Eddy, who presided at c? .1 the trial, which lasted ten diys, charged the jury clearly and forcibly, that the offence was murder, or it was nothing, and told thorn that they were tho judge of law as well as fact. Notwithstanding this, the jury found a verdict of involuntary manslaughter, and the court was of course bound to receive it, and awarded the punishment of 2 years imprisonment and ono thousand dollars fine, being he oxtent of tho statutory punishment. The principal culprit, Gibbs, escaped entirely, there being no such thing as accessaries before the fact, in manslaughter. A more miserable verdict than this was never rendered in the United States, except, perhaps, in a case which we have frequently beard alluded to (and if we mistake not it occurred in this very Rhode Island,) of a fellow who bad stolen a horse, tho punishment for which at that time was death, and the jury, in order to save the villain from the gallows, rendered a verdict of manslaughter, for which he was merely imprisoned. N. Y. Enquirer. Martin Duffy was tried lately in tho court of quarter sessions for Philadelphia county, upon a charge of stealing from one Hugh Quin a Leghorn hat, one skin trunk, ono pair of gold ear rings, a flannel petticoat, &c. The prosecutor, alleged that these commodities were stolon from said Quin while he and his wife were absent, and that Duffy immediately absconded with them, and also the sister-in-law of the prosecutor. The trial was a very interesting one, as might be supposed from the nature ofthe larceny. This matter of abducting a flannel petticoat is new in the annals of modern thievery; but to carry ojfthc living in this way, is an enormity not to be tolerated. Certain letters written by Duffy, were read in court, which are exceedingly raro gems in epistolary literature. One ofthe most interesting of which, like Voltaire's message to the playwright, gave information of his own death! The orthography of these letters is equalled only by the beauty of their syntax. The lovely Miss Rosana McKonny, the interesting damsel carried off in the stolen petticoat aforesaid, took laudanum and died of it tho only tragic circumstance in the transaction. The jury, under such circumstances, had great difficulty in finding a verdict; but, after two or three attempts, they returned into court with an acquittal, and Mr. Martin Duffy was discharged. An csiray. Mrs. Elizabeth liullock advertises her husband Zurral Bullock, in a late Ohio p iper, who, she says, has strayed from her enclosure, or been stolen. The beast ought to bo impounded where ever he may be discovered, until bo can be carried back. Wc believe he left several little Bullocks behind him. We are of .opinion that tho health of tho city has been improved by the cold spell wo had about a week since. The daily interments have greatly diminished within a few days past, and should the present weather continue, which although warm, is not oppressive, owing to tho fine breeze with which we are favored, our city will soon bo restored to its usual health. Upwards of five hundred strangers have entered the city sinco Saturday, some of whom, wo understand, have fallen sick and died. There was a rumor afloat this morning that the Cholera was again amongst us. Wo inquired into j the matter, and have ascertained that two or throe cases occurred yesterday, which are attributed to imprudence in eating oysters. Netc Orleans Courier, The Bank of Louisville has been designated by the Secretary of the Treasury, to receive the public deposites at this place, instead of tho Branch Bank of the U. States. The notes of tho Bank of Louisville will, of course, be hereafter receivable in payment for public lands in the neighboring States; her credit will be increased the circulation cf her paper will be extended, and she will be cntbled to afford increased facilities to those engaged in the commerce ofthe country. Louisville ldc. The Hon. T. P. Moore proposed, on the 20th ult. to submit to referees, the contest beteen himself and Mr. Letcher for a seat in Congress. The proposition was not acceded to by .Air.

The Bank party take it very hard that Meesrp. M'Lane and Cass will not quarrel with the President and resign their places in consequence of tho removal of the deposites. They manifest a great desire to witness the breaking up of another cabinet. Should they succeed, it can avail them nothing. The people are decidedly with the President, and should a prompt administration ofthe Government according to their views make it necessary to break up the cabinet forty times, it will not weaken tho President a particle. They rely upon the President to carry fully out their principles, and expect of those who may be called to his aid an efficient co-operation. The Bank is fated to die. It may struggle to prolong its existence, but nothing can now save it.

The case was managed with such ingenuity and abilitv. and so much native- tnlent was displayed, that after his return homo, Mr. L. addressed him: 'John, my kitchen is no place for you; follow on in your studies, give thorn your undivided attention, and you shall have what assistance you need from me until you are in a condition to repay it.

It is only tenor fifteen years since this article was introduced on board British ships of war, as an artiile possessed of valuable antiscorbutic properties. Experience proving it to bo very valuable for the nbovo mentioned qualities, it is still retained in their supplies. It has long been in use on board of German and Dutch national vessel, us well as merchant ships, tho crews of which even during tho longest voyages, remain perfectly free from scorbutic complaints. From time immemorial it Ins formed a favorite standing dish to the robust inhabitants of the north of Europe, during their long and rigorous winters. It is recommended by cheapness, savor, salubrity, and simplicity of porparation. Cabbage should be taken that has sustained two or three white frosts previous to being gathered. Sound compact heads should bo chosen; the green and imperfect loaves should be carefully removed, 1 each bond divided, and tho stalk cut out, then sliced fine with an instrument ruadc for the purpose; a suitable tub, barrel shiped, should be prepared, After cutting, it should be salted with the propor tion of a pint of fine salt to tho bushel of cabbige, well intermingled, which nny then be gradually packed in tho tub, pressing it continually with cn appropriate wooden rammer. It should then ba covered with a circular board, two inches less in diameter than tho tub, and a weight of twenty or thirty pounds placed upon it. In two weeks it will undergo tho acetous fermentation, when it will bo fit for use. Attention should be paid to it every week to skim the froth from tho brine, to wash the board, stone, sides and tub. When Sauerkraut is taken out ofthe tub to cook, it tshould always bo washed with fresh water, and cooked without tho addition of any oilier vegetable. A piece of fat pork, or a fat goose, enclosed with the Sauerkraut, in a close tin vessel, and stewed thrco hours; forms an excellent dish, and is the moro valuablo as it can be had at the season of tho year, and under circumstances, that vegetables cannot bo procured. Daily Chronicle. Patronage. This word is generally applied to tho subscribers to a newspaper. In almoft all other professions a man is called a customer, but with the printer all are patrons. We ought to come to some definition of this word. For our part we think no man is truly a patron oxeep. him w ho pays in advance. He who pays within six months may bo called a good customer, and he who navs before or i at the end of the year a customer without an adiective. When a person furnishes paper and pays workmen, wceuiy, to print a paper lor a rubscriber, wc rather think he is tho patron unless he is refundcd pretty punctually. Let us state the case in full numbers. Here are GOO perrons who say to an individual, if you will expend 10 or IS hundred do!, lars the coming year, and bestow your own labor also, we will each of ih give you thr?e dollars at the end ofthe year, or as soon thero.ift ! our convenience. Wc a?k if this would not bo a I most exquisite proposition, and if the person who might accede to it would not be a mnt admirable j blockhead! And yet there are many who think i they do exceedingly well when they net on this basis, although they havo contracted to pay in advance.
