The anniversary of the Brittle of Thames was celebrated near Lexington, (Ky.) not long since at which about one thousand persons were present. Colonel Benjamin Taylor ofiicated as President. The eleventli regular loast, was complimentary of Col. R. M. Johnson, who being present, rose and replied in a speech of some length. The follow

ing is an extract. it; 'Shortly after my entrance into Congress pros pects were gloomy enough. Our foreign relations were embarrassed and hostile our property confiscated in foreign ports the national flig, insulted on the high seas, and our seamen forcibly taken from the ships of War. At these repeated aggressions, and the systematic attacks on the rights of neutral nations, and on our commerce particularly. I felt, as I trust it became an American Congressman to feel, and as it became your honor to resent. I not only voted for the declaration of war in 1S12, but came home and gave my constituents evidence of my cincerity, by volunteering to share 'the common danger. The disaster at Raisin soon silisfi?d us of therieccsily of increasing tho force in that quarter, and of retrieving our affairs. The Oth Oct. and the Thames will be a lesson to the future of what a citizen soldiery may achieve the memory if slight defeats was green in the recollection on that day which roused to the determination to restore confidence to the army. At the onset I told my men that I allowed them only thirty minutes for the accomplishment of a victory, which was time enough. The result is well known if any credit is duo mo for tho success of that day, I have been more than repaid. I did but my p ut, and if it cos!s inc a few drops of my precious blood, I am ready and willing again, although the snows of fifty winters have withered these locks, and a disease enfeebled this body. Then I required no incentive but duly it was not necessary for me to search the classic annals of Greece and Rome, to fire my mind with the story of Thermopylae or Morathon to arm me with a devotion to my country. Exemplars were to be found at home, and illustrious ones too. To follow ever at an humble distance to the steps of Washington or Lay fayette, Warren or Montgomery, or any ot that long array of names the ornaments of our military history, would be fame enough. Bunkers Hill, Monmouth or Brandy wine, will ever remain watchwards for the soldier. I thought of these old Scotland too, and her patroic song. "Who would be a traitor knave, Who would fill a cowards grave, Let him turn and flee." At the celebration abovo noted, a member of an artillery company named II. Flemming, whilst in the act of ramming down a cartridge, and by the accidential discharge of the gun, was most shockingly mangled and shortly afterwards had both his hands amputated abovo the wrist. The company present immediately presented him with a purse of ir,nn r...u:u ti i ir . , ijt'wvj ui wuitu vvn. lunusuu imiisen coniriuuicu $50. M. Aguado, the celebrated Spanish banker and Joan contractor, is a remarkable instance of what may be done in realizing a fortune, even at that period of life when most men think ituseless to tempt the fickle jade any longer. At the age of fifty, he went to Varis as a refugee, and for a long time was indebted entirely for support to the profits which he derived from the sales of wines in Eir.all quantities to the foreigners residents in Paris, who prefer the produce of Xercs and Madeira to that of the French vineyards. By degrees he became a wholesale wine merchant, and at length began to operate on the Slock Exchange and ere long became a contractor. II acquired an enormous fortune. He purchased for 1,300,000 frances (G0,000) fine estate at SoissjT,on the banks of the Seine, at ' about twenty miles from Paris, and more recently another estate of 0,000 acres, in the same neighborhood, he has erected at his own expense, a beaulilui chain bridge near Soissy, which cost 25,000 sterling, ujn which he has levied a toll, which produces about one per cent, interest on capital, and is about to expand enormous sums in further improvements. Tho brige is one of the finest specimens of modern architecture in France. Although over a wide p3rt of the Seine, it has no arch, and it is so elevated that steam boats pass under it with perfect case without lowering their chimnies. M. Aguado is a great friend to and patron of the Maestro Russini, after whom he has named several of the avenues in a park of 200 acres at Soissy. The Baroness de Feucheres, a I idy who has obtained a snleudid fortune, more raw 4 J pidly and in a very different way from that by which M. Aguado became so wealthy, is said to be in treaty for an estate belonging to the Governor of the Bank of France, and almost, adjoining the estate of ib? Spanish speculator. It would be curious if these Fraveniis were to become neighbors. Aguado is said to bo already worth more than a million sterling. Ten years a Q ho was almost without the means of support. After t;js, let no man disjair of beingable to realize a fortune Lor.dcn Court Jtiznal. Singular. A late London paper contains a letter from Hungary, under date of Sth of August, which states that the country had been deluged, by an almost incessant rain, from July 2d. On August 4, at day-break, the weather appoared to be clearing up, but at mid-day the sun became completely obscured, as if by an eclinse. and five min utes afterwards a globe of fire as large as a carriage wheel appared in the west, and moving in a serpentine course, broke against the mountains, with a trcmendious explosion. It was immediately followed by a torrent of rain that inundated the whole country. The atmosphere became extremely cold, and on the Oth the Alps were covered with snow. Peter V, Daniel. Esq. has declined accepting the appointment of Attorney General. We understand, that considerations connected with his private interests prevented his undertaking the du ties of the office to which he was invited. Globe,

From the Baltimore American.' The opening of the next session of Congress will be marked by a novel controversy in the United States Senate. Two candidates for the same seat from the state of Rhode Island, will present themselves to be qualified, both offering certificates of election by the majority of the legislature. It will be remembered thatAsher Robbins, whose term of service expired on the 4th of March last, was rechosen for the ensuing term of 0 years by the legislature about a year since. The validity of that election was denied at the time by his opponents, and, we believe, a formal potest made against it. The division of political parties in the state, had prevented an election by the people, of either governor or senator, on several trials. No constitutional provision for holding ever existed, and the Senate de facto continued themselves in power by a special act and this same Senate, together with the other House went into convention to elect a senator and chose Mr. Robbins. lie accordingly received his testimonials of eleclion, and will claim i.ho scat. The opposite parly have contended that the election is totally void. Accordingly, at the present session of the legislature, a resolution was offered for the two Houses to join in grand Committee for the purpose of electing a Senator in ihe Congress of the United States in the place of Mr. Robbins, which passed by a majority of 10. Elisha R. Potter was then nominated, and elected without opposition.

We have been favored with the perusal of a lettcr from a distinguished American gentleman now j in iuurop?, (who Has recently travelled through the nations of the continent,) to his friend in this city, from which we are permitted to make the following j tA r, we nave no news, ot any importance, Europe is still in a state of armed peace. There is no immediate danger of war: yet all the nations are prepared for it, and a spark may any day produce an'explosion. Many, very many, in Europe, now look to our country as a land of refuge; and its character every where abroad, has been elevated by General Jackson's administration. It is delightful to witness the reputation he enjoys on this s'.d ? of the Atlantic." Interesting Trial. The New York papers, report the result of the trial ofObadiah Penniman, a merchant of Cincinnati, Ohio, charged with obtaining goods from merchants of that city under false pretences. The charge was prefered against the accused Mr. John C. Morrison, who alleged that from the representations of Penniman, he had trusted him goods to the amount of nearly ten thousand dollars, and that he (Morrison) subseqnently as certained that the representations of Penniman as to his solvency &,c. were untrue. In tho month of January last, upon the testimony of Mr. Morrison, the grand jury of the city and county of New York; found a bill against Penniman, and upon a request of the Governor of N. Y. upon the Gov ernor of Ohio, tho accused was brought to New York and put upon his trial. No case of similar character, has produced so great an excitement for many years. The trial having occupied the attention of tho Court for six days. The Court room was crowded every day. The arguments of Messrs. S. A. Foot and D. B. Ogden, for, and Messrs. II. Maxvell and S. P. Staples, against the prosecution, arc said to be among the greatest efforts at the Bar. The amount of goods obtained, the respectability of the parties and their friends and the array of legal talent, all contributed to the general interest. The Recorder made one of the ablest charges that has been delivered in that Court for many years, which occupied in the delivery nearly two hours. The Jury were out twenty five minutes, and returned a verdict of NOT GUILTY. rom the PhilaJelphht Times. Another Murder. A most atrocious and an palling murder was committed, a few nights since, near Frederica, in Kent county Del. The pai ticulars are thus related by the Wilmington Journal "The perpetrator of the deed, Geo. Bonwell, lives on the Dover road about three miles this side of Frederica the victim was his own daughter a young girl of fourten or fifteen years of age. He had returned home in the evening and found one of the younger children crying, and upon inquiry was informed, that it had been corrected by the elder daughter, without further inquiry he attacked, his daughter with a savage ferocity, knocked her down ; with a heavy slick, and literally crushed her ribs by stamping on her with his feet. She died in about 30 minutes. The innocent victim of this appalling crime, we are informed, had lately finished her education at the boarding school of Mr. Samuel Hilles, in Wilmington, and was an amiable and deserving girl. Bonwell is in good circumstances. He has been committed to Dover jail to await his trial." From the Augusta Ky. Telegraph EDITORS CONVENTION. &ome o.ne -ns proposed a Grand National Convention of Editor- a "gathering in1' of Suns, Stars, and Luminaries; Couriers, Posts and Messengers; Standards, Flags, and Banners; Commentators, Annotators, and Collustrators; and the whole host fil.nm innmmotha and elephants, imperialisms and loyalists, from Maine to Georgia! J3ut where would all these uncongenial spirits meet? what city or town could hold them? and,;firstand worst of all," where would the ready come from to bring them together? To be serious such a convention, if practicable, might be productive of much good the "cutting and slashing" system might be reformed and a thousand matters of difference, about which it were better to have an agreement, might be "In the deep bosom of the ocean buried." "Kindred drops, mingled into one," might swell .iters, and j flout onward together to the goal of public gecu H i l . .1 .1.., .. 1 ,,C.i,1,l" (Tnr-il.

But the Convention what a meeting it would be! Spirit of the illustrious Faust! help us to think of it. There would be democrats, antics and

nullifiers nationals and unionists, and fence-men:' noosniers nnu Jerseymen; and '"black spirits and white, blue spirits and grey."'

"There cent' ring in a focus, round and neat, Would every ray of information meet."

This watchful ani anxious duty is more necessary with a daii"h ler than with a son, because the boy is thrown upon the world mingles with mankind, and rudeness and passion are promptly checked by prompt punishment, and tho rough treatment he experiences on lile7s stormy billows, is an cfiicicnt corrective of bad temper. Not so with a girl. From her pursuits and domestic habits, she is necessarily estranged from the world until that period arrives when she is called upon to take an interest in its bustling concerns when her accomplishments, and probobly, personal attractions, draw around her friends ajid admirers; and when she is about to be translated from scholastic pursuits and maiden habits to the more elevated sphere in which the wife and mother moves. Hero is tho trying moment. The ardent admirer sees in the object of his fond affection nothing but what is truly admirable; he finds her all glowing fancy had painted; but when the giddy lover is superseded by the temperate husband, and he anxiously examines with deeper scrutiny into the qualities of her head and heart, ho is shocked beyond expression to find youth and beauty under the deformity of a confirmed bad temper and he dates his misery and unhappmcss from the moment cf this unfortunate discovery he finds that nature has not been munificent in this blessing, but neglect had strengthened natural propensities, like a fair garden which is allowed to be overrun with weeds. If he is blessed with wealth, he can not enjoy it from the fretful contradictions of her i temper; if he has to labor with care and anxiety, his home is always hateful to him; if he advises he is treated with neglect; if he admonishes, he is treated with displeasure; if ho raises his voice in anger, nc is assailed with tcntold violence his servants refuse to remain with him his friends will not sacrifice their comfort to their splenetic humors; she is unhappy herself, and makes every one unhappy around her, while her husband, driven to other sources for enjoyment, too frequently plunges into dissipation and ruin, because he cannot find that happy retreat which his ardent fancy had painted. A bad temper therefore in a woman poisons all her happiness and "turns her milk to gall" blights her youth, and brings on permature, fretful old age palls all her enjoyments banishes her friends, and renders her borne comfortless and barren. Far different is the ripe, rich harvest of a home made bright and happy by the sweet temper and mild deportment of an amiable wife, who, if atllictions cross her husband abroad, finds comfort and consolation in his domicit is happy in a companion whose temper is like the silver surface of a lake, calm, serene and unrutlled. If ho is rich, his admiring friends rejoice in his prosperity, and delight in his hospitality, because all around is light, airy, and sunshine; if he is poor, he breaks his crust in thankfulnes, for it is not stepped in the waters of bitterness. An amiable temper is a jewel of inestimable value in the sum of earthly happiness, beciusa with that alone, tho whims ol a cross husband may be subdued many vices may be overcome, the boisterous may be tamed tho unruly conquered the fretful tranquilizcd, and the hurricane softened and hushed, as the mild zephyr that sweeps over the honeysuckle under the casement. XoaWs X. Y. Star. Dancing Animals . Geese, turkeys, chickens, &c. arc taught to dance by the following cruel method. The wings of the birds arc bound close to their sides, and then they are placed upon the arena ofa flag stone, or plate of iron, beneath which is a fire, and the sides of which are barricaded sufficiently high to prevent escape. While one man plays a lively tune on the organ, or some other instrument, another blows the fire; and as the heat increases, the poor creatures lift their feet quicker, until the vaults of their contortions and the rapidity nf thpir motions mav be sunnosed to represent a dance. This system is persevered in until the birds when placed upon the common earth, will dance in a similar manner at the sound of music. Bears, dogs, monkeys are taught to dance in a similar manner. The more savage bears, in the first placo are muzzled and a ring being passed through the nose arc subjected to a severe discip line, in order to produce that docility which we see them exemplify in the streets. They are then placed, by the contrivance, already mentioned, over a slow fire, and when at length, at the sound of tho organ, he will assume an erect posture, and walk upon his hind legs he is deemed fit for exhibition.

We have some interesting intelligence from Carthagcna. It seems that in consequence of an insult having been offered to the French Consul at tho port of Carthagcna, the Governor of Martinique had despatched a squ::dmn there to demand immediate satisfaction. This the Governor of Carthagcna allcdged ho had not power to render that the question must be settled by tho general government of tho countries. This" not proving satisfactory, tho French squadron bad proceeded to blockade the port of Martinique, and its commander, under date of the 1th of October, tells tiki Gotcrnor of Carthagcna that 4iiho ilect of Admiral Mackua shall come to destroy tho walls and complete tho work of vengeance." The Governor had no means of defence, and the inhabitants were in a great state of alarm, when the vessel which brought the news sailed. Franklin Repos. Curious historical fact. During tha troublesvl !., ct ? i . t .. I in the reign of Charles 1, a countr oiil came to London in sr?nrth of a idace as servant maid but not succeeding s!iu hired herself to carry out beer from a brew house, and was ono of these called tub-women. The brewer observed a good looking girl in this low occupation, took her into his family as a servant, and alter a short time married her, but ho died while she was yet a young woman, and left her tho bulk of his fortune. The business of the brewery was dropped, and Mr. Hyde was recommended to the voung woman asaskilful lawyer, to arrange her hubbmufs affiirs Uydo who was afterwards Kill of Clarendon, finding the widow's fortune very cousideiuble, married her. Of this marriage there was no other issue than a daughter, who was afterwards wifu of James II, and mother of Mary and Anne, Queens of England. AorcZ Yiaiter.

Ho was buried through tho aid of some of his neighbors, in a respectable manner, on Sunday last. His widow nnd destituto children are now in extreme need, and for tho present, remain ut tho house ofa neighbor, at tho South East corner of Cristian and Eighth streets.
