From the Rockland (M K) Advertiser. Andrew JacJcson and the Democracy of England. Mr. Cox, orthis town, who last week retained from England, and who his a most intimate acquaintance with Uiepolitalpnnciplesofthn working classes in that country, informs us that the most Wlc interest is taken by them in the present mea

sures of Andrew Jackson towards the Bank, and that to a man they rejoice at his determination to put it down . They view it altogether as a contest between the People and the Aristocracy; and say, that on its issuo depends whether we are to be a free Republic, or eventually to be as enslaved as the old countries, of Europe. The inhabitants of Manchester have prepared an Address to Andrew Jacksox, approving of his standjagainst the Aristocracy and tendering their thanks for his services in the causef the People and Liberty. This address was to have been brought over by Mr. Cox for presentation, but so unanimous was the wish to sign if, that the Committee could not get it ready by Mr. C.'sdeDarture." If any proof were wanting that tho Bank party of this country, and tne Aristocracy 01 England, are the sirae in principle or that tho self styled Whigs aro in every deed tho genuine Tories, it may be found in the facts connected with tho above mentioned address. The Democracy of Manchester it was who first awakened the Aristocracy of England from their long sleep of security who first raised their voice against the long rule of oppression who first shed their blood in the great cause of reform who have determined never torelax in their exertions, until their proud oppressor, the canker-worms of their country, shall be subdued, and the flag of liberty float triumphantly in the breeze! These are tho men, who, viewing a similar contest going on in this country, would cheer us on the battle these are the men who hail Andrew Jackson as the great Hero of Liberty, who regard him as the Champion of the People, and who thank him for the services he has rendered the glorious cause they advocate, by the heroic firmness with which he maintains the people's rights against a Tory Aristocracy. We would like to hear the Manchester's working population of two hundred thousand called Tories! It would sound so very much like calling our old revolutionary soldiers by tho same name. We learn from the Columbus Hemisphere that Mr Gilbert,onc of its editors, was compelled to cow skin a bank candidate in that countv for usinir language about him, "which was not only untrue, but in the highest degree slanderous, unjust and imgcntleraanly." Mr. Gilbert was indicted for tho offence and the account he gives of the administration of justice in Franklin county must sicken all who believe our Courts of Justice ought to lay aside all political feelings while adjudicating matters that comes before them. Of the conduct of the Presiding Judge, J. It. Swan, he speaks in the highest terms. It was such as ought and would govern the course of any honest man, who was placed on the bench as an impartial arbiter between conflicting parties. Wc regret that Mr Gilbert found it necessary to resort to the use of the cowhide, to obtain satisfaction. But we cannot blame him for he has been more vilely slandered by tho minions of the Bank .than any democratic editor in the state. He gave one of them & feeling lesson, which doubtless will benefit the others. Besides, it is the only mode mo sensibilities ot halt these;gentry can. be touched: Zanesville Union. Fnm the Globe. Branch Checks of the Bank of the U. States. We givo an abstract from the Decision" of the Sc theme Court, in the caso of Samuel Brewster, . adjudging that the forgery of checks, put into circulation by the Bank of the United Stater, (to supply a "sound circulating medium," as its friends say,) is not punishable as a forgery under the 18th section of the Bank charter, providing for the punishment of counterfeiting of its bills or notes. We copy the decision from tho tho statement of the ca9e, in 7th Peters, 1G4. From this it will be seed that the sound currency of the United States Bank, seven millions of which consists of these checks, is . declared by the Supreme Court to bo a spurious currency, vmd that a counterfeiter is actually acquitted upon tho ground that these substitutes for the notes of the Bank, put forth by the President and Cashiers of its Branches, are not bills or notes, according to the true intent or meaning of the charter. Another circumstance of moment grows out of this decision. As these checks aro not bills or notes authorized by tho charter, a refusal by the Bank to pay specie for them when demanded, does not subject the Bank to the penalty of 12 per cent, imposed by the charter, which goes as a forfeiture to the holder of the bill, in case of the refusal of the Bank t to redeem tho bill or note on presentation. Thus it seems that the corporation, by issuing this spurious currency, has not only subjected the community to immense los3 by the forgeries which tho issue of these checks has originated; but it has also exempted itself from tho penalties to which it was the design of the charter to subject it, in case of a failure to redeem its authorized paper currency in specie. Going the cold Shoulder. The Montreal Vindicator of September 30th comes to hand clothed in the usual garb of mourning on account of the arrival of the Gov. Lord A vlmer in that city on the day previous. Tho announcement of this event is closed in the following terms: N. Y. Enq. Bowing down then in sorrow and humiliation to tho dispensations of an inscrutable Providence, in the name of an afflicted community, wo make our appearance clothed in mourning, to commemorate in sorrow the arrival in this city of Matthew Lord Aylmcr, the Governor in Chief, Who approved of tho murders of tho 21st of May ; Who shielded the murderer of Barceau from justice; and Who refused to extend the provisions of the Quarantine Act of this deToted city, or to advance the necessary funds to transmit the poor emigrants "to their respective places of destination, in consequence of which refusals, thousands of his Majesty's subjects havo been destroyed by the Asiatic Cholera. Let us all earnestly pray that the removal of the heartless Soldier from the Province may soon permit us to enjoy again the blessings of peace and the return of security and public confidence.

o 1 cily was established during the last month bv some oi me most respectable muamiants cl Iew Urleans, who in a preamble to their published proceedings, set forth that they enter upon the measure "Considering that the number of duels in New Orleans increase to a frightful extent; that this barbarous custom daily causes the death of many victims; thatfaruiles without fortune and dependent solely upon the industrious exertions of a father for support, are daily reduced to the most painful misery by a compliance with this infamous practice: That young'men entering upon life with virtues, talents, and the brilliant prospects of hops that promised to embellish society; men who bid fair to be worthy fathers, useful citizens, courageous defenders of their country, are daily sacrificed to this false sense of honor; and disappoint the well grounded hopes of society and of their country. "Considering moreover that it is the duty of every wise man, of every good citizen to impede as far as lays in his power thi3 evil, an evil which threatens the very existence of society and social intercourse: and believing that the only means and remedy nowexisting are to form a Society with the view of binding firmly all its members together by wise regulations in order to decrease the number of duels and proceed to tho suppression of this practice. Fashions. A Virginia paper in noticing certain late changes in tho ladies' dresses, announced in the London Court Journal, among which are the lengthening of the skirts and the wearing of outside pockets, exclaims "Excellent. Abolish the outrageous tourners and it will be still better." We take no decided stand in this business, important as it undoubtedly is. We aro non-committal on the fence. N. Y. Enquirer. Shocking Murder. A murder of a most heinous character was committed on the body of Mrs. Catharine Ryan, who keeps a sailor Boarding House on Wide Water street, near the coiner of Fayette street, by a man by the namo of John Ferris, said to be a Boatswain in the U. S. Navy, by stabbing her in several places with a dirk in the most unprovoked and barbarous manner. Ferris was immediate arrested and committed to jail. He was the son-in-law of Mrs. Ryan. Norfolk Beacon. Fortunate Escape. Day before yesterday, whilst a light one horse wagon, containing Mrs. Lyon, her two children, and sister all of Jersey city was standing at the principal hotel in Newark, (Mr. Lyon having stopped for a moment and stepped into the house to make inquiries,) tho horse became frightened, and breaking from the post to which he was tied, started off at full speed, and ran nearly half a mile before his career could bo arrested. Mrs. Lyon's sister threw herself from the wagon, and received several severe contusions; but Mrs. Lyon herself, with admirable presence of mind, remained in her seat, and with her children, escaped injury. One of the wagon wheels at length breaking, the horse was stopped by a number of gentlemen, when within a few feet of plunging into tho Morris Canal. This escape strongly enforces a precept that has been urged time out of mind namely, in such a case, be sure to remain in your seat, and keep cool. XY. Y. En'q. Glory enough for one man. A Mr. Smitln keeper of the Prints of tho British Museum, on some occasion gave the following account of himself: "I can boast of seven events, some of which great men might be proud of I received a kiss, when a boy, from a beautiful Mrs. Robinson; was patted on the head by Dr. Johnson; have frequently held Sir Joshua Reynold's spectacles; partook of a pot of porter with an elephant; saved lady Hamilton from falling, when tho melancholy news reached her of Lord Nelson's death; three times conversed with George the Thiid, and was once shut up in a room with Mr. Kean's lion." Breach of Hospitality. During tho dreadful storm and inundation in Bengal in May, 1S33, the estate of a Mr. Campbell, situated on the Island of Sauger, at the entrance of tho river Hoogly , suffered so greatly, that out of three thousand people living on his ground, only six or seven hundred escaped, and these principally bv clinffim? to the ronf and ceiling of his house. When the houso was in this close-crammed state, with scarcely room in it for another individual, what should come squeezing and pushing its way into tho interior of the house but an immense tiger, with his tail hanging down, and exhibiting every other symptom of excessive fear. Having reached the room in which Mr. Campbell was sitting, ho nestled himself into of tho comers and lay down like a large Newfoundland dog. Mr. Campbell loaded his gun in a very quiet manner,and shot him dead upon the spot. Letters from India. Attrocious attempt to Rob a Gentleman of his partner. Asa gentleman was passing through the streets of Boston a few nights since with a lady, some ruffians attempted to take the lady from him and threatened instant death if they were resisted. The gentleman, however, defended her until a young gentleman, assisted by a watchman, arrived and drove tho rascals off. Why they were not taken and punished as thev deserved, is not raen-lioued- .

A colored girl, says the Hartford Times, a slave, who had been in this city for three or four years past, was re-claimed by her master on Tuesday last. She was taken into the fourth story of the United States Hotel, and in a moment of desperation leaped from the window to the ground, a distance of 10 feet. Although the distance was so great, she was but slightly injured, and a purse was immediately raised for purchasing her freedom. N. Y.

Importance of Industry. It may ba advanced a9 a safe position, that one very prevalent cause of tho ignorance, idleness, profligacy, and consequent wretchedness thu.t we witness in tha world will be found in the fact that vast numbers of the young are permitted to grow up without any employment, and without ever having been stimulated to propose to themselves any prominent and valuable object of I 1 A 1 1

pursuit, vvneiner u oo owing io uie inisiancn views and laJse ideas ot indulgence in parents, or to the natural propensity of tho human mind, certain it is, that a vast body of children arc allowed to take their own course, and as soon aa they are strong enough to run, commence their own career without a single thought of what is due to society, to their parents or themselves. Look around you in every direction, and will you not find hundreds who have apparently no single object before them, beyond the indulgence of an hour, or a meagre provision for tho day) Can you wonder that folly and vice prevail where this is the case? And would you look among youth growing up in this way, for those who are to benefit the community who will furnish good examples, and add to the stock of human improvement, and human happiness"! No indeed you will see in them that herd of leeches who are to drain the vitals of society of their blood. You will see them hanging like an incubus upon tho institutions of the community. If, as every one will admit, that man is to be regarded as a public benefactor, who contributes in tho slightest degree, to the improvement of the plough, or to the structure of a useful implement in mechanics, then surely, he who neither adds to the stock of public virtue, nor the means of advancement in the arts of life, must be regarded as a public in jury. It is, then, of primary consequence that every young person should set out with some point of importance in his view and to which he is to direct his intellectual energies. And here it should be remembered, that in a very great degree, men become what they are determined to be. I do not mean to say that they can counteract and prevent the course of Providence, or that all the mad schemes of ambition and fraud will be successful; but observation will justify the remark that, as a general rule, men accomplish what they pursue with a steady, honest, and persevering aim." Calamities and disappointments will indeed overtake them, because these are tho allotments of a wise ruler, to the world in which we live; but even here, it will usually be seen, that but for these calamities, the results would have justified the previous calculations. Aim at excellence, young men, in whatever laudible undertaking you select, and excellence will be yours. Aim at an honorable and useful pesition in your country, and that position you will reach. An ancient king of Sicily, was trained a potter, and when he reached his high distinction, he used to place vessels of earthen ware, and others of crold and silver before hia mnrtinrs! j 'These,' said ho, pointing to the former, 'I used to mane wun industry and care, till by my strength and valor I was able to take hold of tho others,' pointing to the richer implements. Without going to antiquity we might find, in our own time and in our own country, no small number of cases in which an early resolution to aim at excellence has led from the retirement of country life and humble birth, to the most honorable stations in the gifts of our republic. It was this principle that was working in the mind of Franklin, when as a stranger boy he ato his roll in the streets of Philadelphia while he was without shelter for his head. It was no ordinary boyish caprice, tho impatience of control, that drove him from his homo, but his mind would not bear the pressure thrown upon it. His was a lofty mark, and he kept his eye upon it with all the steadiness of the most plodding artisan, and with the coolness and self-denial of a philosopher. He reached that mark, and a most noble one it was. His aim was usefulness, and while virtue, and literature, and science, have friends, the world will not forget that it can never pay the debt it owes hira- Iiudd. From the Saturday Evening Visitor. The Formation of Character. It ia a trite but true remark that "a man ia known by the companv he keeps." As human nature is the same in all ages, and as it cannot bo altered by any thing that can effect the constitution of man," therefore, the itmanv may De adopted as an unvariable truth. This being the case, it may not be unprofitable to notice a tew instances in which the adage is exemplified by the character and career of men in society. As first impressions are the most endurin", so the tenor of one's life depends very much upon his early habits and education. And, moreover, as effects arise from adequate causes, every person, by a little sober reflection, may be enabled to trace established traits ia his own character, whether becoming or otherwise, to assnointlnna fvr..i youth by circumstances over which he had no control. Drunkards keep the company of drunkards, and are dissatisfied with that of any other class in society. Now, in most cases, a person addicted to intemperance, may find the origin of the habit in the imprudence of his parents, when, while he was but a prattling child, and unconscious of tho evil consequences ot ardent spirits, they accustomed him to participate with them in the mornin dram. The urchin believing, as all children do, fn the superior virtue and wisdom of his parents, received the n0isoned cup from their hands as a wholesome draught calculated and intended to preserve his health.' 1 his laid tho foundation for an established character in after life. So on the other hand, the temperate man can trace back his settled dislike to ardent spirits to tho time of his childhood, when his parents, by their exemplary conduct and faithful instructions, guarded him against early vices, and among others, the use of spirituous liquors. Gamblers keep the company of gamblers. In early life, a fondness for gambling is easily contracted; the passion for it seizes on the young heart unaware: and before its evil effects are realized the habit is formed, and generally fixed. Of this vice, which is the ruin ot so many, parents are often, too often, the lamentable cause. More especially, in what is called fashionable society, gambling, in many places, is one of the domestic recreations practised by the mother. The children hence derive the habit which not unfrequently follows them through life' and generally ends in beggary. From suchcauses more than any others, do the vices proceed, which disgrace individuals, and bring a bane on society And what a melancholy consideration it is that so many parents are so reckless about the future welfare of their offsprings, and the good of posterity! As "a man is known by the company ho keeps " so we may hence, in general, ascertain the kind of company kept by his parents. This is a pretty correct standard in judging of human character Like every other rule, it has its exceptions, but they are few m the comparison. How great then is the responsibility of parents!

Our Bayonne letter, dated the 30th ult. mentions that reports were prevalent in tlmt town tint the Carlists had been successful in various encounters with the troops of tho Queen; but adds, however, that little or no reliance is placed in them. Fifty mounted Carlist lancers, and a number of wounded and sick driven from Klisondo by Kl Pastor, had taken refuge on tho French territory. His consort whom ho left behind him in Fngland is dead. Portsmouth, Sept 1th, 1SIH. DEATH OF DON CAULOS'S WJFK. At noon to-day this illustrious Princess the Donna Francisco Tjkrksa of Spain, departed this life, in the 30th year of her age. She died uf internal mortification. Sho will be buried, pro em., in the church yard of Alvcrstoke, for subsequent removal to Valencia. Conspiracies in the Spanish capital aro still spoken of. Attempts at insurrection had been made in various parts of Spain, but thus far appears to have been immediately suppressed. A Liverpool paper of tho 5th has the following from Portugal: Falmouth, Aug. 31. This afternoon bis Majesty's brig Hoyalist arrived here from Oporto whenco she sailed on Wednesday last. Information had been received there from Lisbon, announcing tho election of Don Pedro as regent, by the Coi tee, with scarcely a dissenting voice. The choice of the Fmperor had given much satisfaction at Oporto; it was expected that the Queen's marriage would bo tho next subject for discussion. From Franco the only intelligence of any interest is that Marshal Gerard, the President of tho council, is seriously indisposed. There is nothing whatever of anv consequence from England. Messrs.

A Father tried for the murder of his sow. On .uuisuay Msi,ine iriaiouott U ?tt,orSiilUeld, Connecticut, was held before the Superior Court in session at Hartford, for the murder of his son Uriah Wincell. It appeared in evidence that a bitter controversy had long existed between the father and son that the son had repeatedly made attacks upon his person, and occasional depredations upenhis property that, for several years past, in consequence of fear of bodily harm, from the son, or some other cause unknown, Wincell had been in the uniform habit of arming himself with deadly weapons; sometimes with a musket, and at others with a pistol and dirk that on tho 2 llh of March last, the son was engaged in setting up and covering a coal pit of wood taken from the land claimed by both father and son, and about the possession oi which, the controversy between them originated that in the afternoon of that day, Wincell was seen wandering about tho region of tho coal pit apparently carrying a pistol in his bosom that about sunset the report offire-nrms, and tho cry of murder, was heard in the direction of tho coal pit, and the son found wounded by a pistol short in the left side below the lower rib that immediately after the report of tho pistol and tho cry of murder was heard, Wincell was seen emerging from a ravine near the pit, with a pistol in his hand apparently exhausted in body and agitated in mind, and to tho inquiry whether he had shot his son, replied hesitatingly 'not until he hit or hurt mo first' that the son languished about thirty hours, in ihe most excruciating agony and died.

HUMAN WKJG1IT AND HEIGHT.

Weight of Infants Adults The Aqid Human height Refection. From observations recently made in Europe, it appears that the average weight ot mnlo infants at birth is.about 01 lbs. and tho height 1 foot 51 inches. Tho average weight of feunb-s at birth is & fraction le?s than 0 lbs. on J tho height 1 foot Til inches. Tlusa facts seem to piovo thai there is a natural inequality in the two boxes both as regatdi weight and height. From birth to tho ago of Ft-'ven day?, tho infant is said to loose in weight. From this tunc however, its weight increases. This, if true, is a very curi ous circumstance, Man attains his greatest weight at 10 and b?gins o lose very sensibly at t0; woman does not attain her greaveM weight till T.0; but !.( docs not appear to gain perceptibly fiom the ago of IS to 10. Both sexes at the peiiod of complete developmint, weigh about twenty time4 :., much as they did at birth. In old age both sexes lo.so about 10 or 10 pounds of their weight, and three quarters of an inch iu height. The average weight of adult mule., according to ho foregoing estimate, is about 1H0; that of fc males a littlo less than 100. The average weight of males (old and young taken together) is Oil pounds; that of uu individual without any reference either to age or sex, 01 jnuinds. Tho height of the La plunders and Patagonians tho two extremes of tho human race is as follows : The Laplander is from 1 to 5 feet 0 inches high. His average height is mt fir from 1 feet, and tho women uro nearly tho same. Tho Patagoniaa males are from 1 "feet 0 inches to 0 feet li inches. The women are generally 7 to S inches s!wr ter. It is thought that tho climate and locality havo less to do with tho stature of men than the race, though climate doubtless Insome inlluenco. Tho Pickcrai?, close by U;u Pjtagonian, ato much inferior iu height; and lh Silesiaus, who aro a bhurt people, live near the Saxons, who are probably the tallest people in Europe, Tho foregoing estimates aro derived from tha London Medical Uazette, and so far as weight U concerned, based chielly on observations made at the city of Brussels. We believe there is a greater inequality between the adulis of tho two sexes in America, than in Holland, that infants aru heavier; and that tho adult males of New England aro 10 lbs. at the least, heavier than those ofilrussol. We are also of opinion, that the average height of the then of Patagonia is rather moi o than appears from the above statement. Wo think it is nearly six feet. J cnnsyfratiiii. Tho result of tho citv and county elections of Philadelphia, explain so'tno intelligence which wc have received from the interior of the Mate. Although the stockholders nt their late meeting have directed tho lhnk managcts to press for a new charcter, although tho Bank is still pouring out its thousands in electioneering in every btato in tho Union, it is pretended by its Incnds, that tho Bank is no longer a question for decision. Tho Bank party having been created and thoroughly drilled, and acting like a standing army under tho orders of its commanders, the watch-word of Ba.nk is to be dropped and tint of Uuig adopted to enable them to unito additional strength from tho democracy. The Bank parly understand that tho institution has two years to "atherin its capital after tho expiration of its darter. Iu that interval, a new President of tho Tinted States will be elected, and if the Bank can elect ono oi its attorneys at.d a pliant hous-j of representatives, it will bo secure of a charter on its own terms. This is tho reason why tho friends of thi Moneyed Coecrnmeut, and its President and Board ot Directors, are struinmg every uervo to return ita partisans to Congrcs?, while it is pretended that tho Bank has no interest in tho result. The f.r.t ij, its whole interest is bound up in tho next Prckidential election, and hence its willingness to mcrc its own pretensions in favor of its candidate for ihe 1 residency knowing that tho success of one is the success uf the other.
