In the interim between the summons of Messrs. Hunt and Postlethwaite before the grand jury, and the imposition of the fine and imprisonment, the grand jury had been dismissed for a week- On reassembling, the charge of the judge in relation to gambling was so modified as to make it discretionary instead of obligatory on the grand jury to prosccute the inquiries enjoined in the original charge. Under the impression from the altered tone or what they conceived to be the altered tone of the Judge, that witnesses would not be compelled to mve testimony in cases of private as well as

professional gaming, the grand jury unanimously resolved that they could not effectually pursue

their inquiries, regarding violations of the law

against unlawful gaming, and requested to be dis

charged. The Judge explained and the witnesses having

been brought before the srand iurv, and refusing

to answer, were fined, &-c. as above stated.

The Grand Jury subsequently presented another communication to the Court, imputing delinquency on the part of the Court in the discharge of its

duties. The Judge alledgea this to oe contempt, and seven of the Grand Jurors, refusing to purge themselves on oath of an intentional censure of the

court, were fined in the sum of $10 each, and im

EARLY MARRIAGES. Letter from.Dr. Benjamin Franklin to a friend. You desire, sir, 'my impartial thoughts on the subject of an early marriage, by way of an answer to the numberless objections that have been made by numerous persons to your own. You may remember when you consulted me on the occasion, that I thought youth on both sides to be no objection. Indeed from the marriages that have fallen under my notice, I am rather inclined to think, that early ones stand the best chance of happiness. The tem

per and habits of the young are not yet become so stiff and uncomplying, as when more advanced in life; thev form more easily to each other, and hence,

manv occasions of dismist are removed. And if

youth has less of that prudence which is necessary to manage a family, yet the parents and elder friends of young married persons are generally at hand to afford their advice, which amply supplies that defect; and, by early marriage, youth is sooner formed

to regular and useful life; and possibly some of those accidents or connections, that might have injured

the constitution or reputation, or both, are therefore

haDDilv Drevented. Particular circumstances of

German emigrants are fast displacing the older settlers; in some large neighborhoods there remain but

These newly arrived Germans lappear to bo best

number of years. We are informed by some of them so that river is the place of destination of nearly all their countrymen upon leaving their native land, and that it has become so by a publication made a few ycar3 since by a native German, who sojourned a time on that river below Pinckney. Many of these bring with them considerable wealth, and are men of industry and enterprise; there are but few if any, who appear familiar with our method of cultivation, or of the crop or culture best adapted to the country in which they have just settled. There are many also of them that are quite indigent. These generally have come in under the

protection of the more wealthy to whom they are

bound for the payment oftheir expenses; but iu many instances, upon their arrival, they take their time in their own hands, and set up for themselves. Among those of the higher order, both male and

female, there are many possessing highly cultivated and well stored minds, and a degree of intelligence upon general subjects, that would do credit to the same number of individuals from anv country. We

regard such as an acquisition to our community.

Thus far we believe great harmony has prevailed

between them and their neighbors, the American

citizens. There is, however, a degree of jealousy

existing in the minds of many, arising from the pe

culiarity of their foreign manners and customs,

which will disappear upon a more intimate acquain

THOMAS SINGULARITY. The following amusing article is extracted from

a new work, entitled "Novelties of a Traveller, or Odds and Ends from the Knapsack of Thomas Singularity, journeyman Printer," edited by Professor Nott:

It was not in his nature to be long without some

love adventure on hand, nor did ill success in one affair ever discourage him, as his mind was immediately engaged in another. He had made acquaintance with a Dutch farmer of the name of Geier-

inann Schmalbauch, a man of very sufficient pro

the militia, and finding out that Tommv had a

knowledge of tactics, applied to him for instruction. "Come and spend next Sunday with me, Mr. Sin-

was convinced that engrafting the two together, the habit of ono would counteract that of the other, and a "nullification" ofthetri be produced. Accordingly, on a bearing year of the Juneating, he took scions from them, and engrafted them into stocks which would that year be barren: The re

sult in the cases which lie has tried, justifies the conclusions which ho had drawn, and he has Juncatings every year. Whether it is necessary that the scion to be engrafted should be taken from its parent on the fruitful year or not, we cannot say, or whether this system will be attended with a similar result in all

which bear in this way, or have barren and fruitful years, wc are not able to say. It is, however, a sub

ject worth attending to; and wc should be happy

to learn any facts from tho$e who have had ex

perience in these things. Maine Farmer.

We have seen a letter from a gentleman in Charleston, says the Savannah Georgian, stating that on Monday night a serious riot occurred in that city. A largo number of nulliliers marched in a body to the Union house near tho rail road, where a number of Union men assembled. The house was defended by the Union men, who fired

at tho assailing crowd. Lach party accused the other of firing first. Shot3 were fired on both sides, and six of the Nullifiers wounded. The Nullifies immediately turned and rushed to the arsinal, the crowd augmenting as it went along, &, demanded arms to revenge themselves. Governor Hayno and General Hamilton here addressed them and persuaded them to refrain. This circumstance has created a great deal of feeling on both sides; and as the Nullifiers were loud in their threats at revenge, it is to be feared that it is only a precurscr to more serious disturbances. Wc sincerely hope and trust that it will not be the case.

Yesterday, this city was visted by one of those remarkable obscurities, which have occasionally been recorded in the annals of the Province. Towards 2 o'clock the sky became tinged of an orange color, which from time to time changed to a dark green, and gradually increased in density till about three o'clock, when the darkness was so complete that houses and shops were lit up, as at night. A wind sprung up from the north-westward, i and by about five, dissipated the obscurity, after a slight shower of rain. The water, which fell, was j of a darlc inky color, tasting and smelling much of; smoke, and depositing, when allowed to settle, a black ashy powder. Towards six o'clock, the skies were as clear as they usually are at that hour of the day. The wind, during the greater portion of the day, was warm, and tho thermometer stood at 65 degrees. This strange appearance, which to many minds portended a severe storm, was, no doubt, occasioned by some extensive fires in the woods to the northwest of this. A similar, though not equally intense appearance, it will be recollected, occurred some years ago, at the time of the great fire near Miramichi, New Brunswick. During the first week of No- . vernber, in 1829, another much more dense, was perceptible in this city, during which a storm arose and tho spire of the Catholic Parish Church was struck by lightning.

When within half a mile of the house, he rode aside into a thick wood for the purpose of adonizingt as he had often done on the same spot.

From the steed the yellow-jackets extended their attacks to the rider, who now with fright, surprise, and bodily agony, clung on instinctively with convulsive energy, almost unconscious of any thing. The road was crowded with people, thronging to the camp-meeting ladies and gentlemen, young and old, black and white, tag, rag, and bobtail, in chaises, carriages and wagons, on horseback, muleback, and footback. Every thing cleared the road for the flying horseman, and stood gazing with wonder at the unseemly sight.

From the Louisiana Courier, Oct. 25. Melancholy Accident. It again devolves upon us to record another of those melancholy steamboat accidents which but too often occur. That there lies neglect on the part of some, there can be no doubt. A few weeks ago we had tho loss of tho

steamboat I riend to mention having been run into by the Tom Jefferson, and which "many attributed to neglect; and again, in a few days after, the loss of the steamboat Tom Jefferson, she having been snagged. Does this not speak volumes? Bui our most melancholy task yet remains to be told. The steamboat Missouri Belle, which left our port yesterday, bound to St. Louis, was run into by the Boonslick, which arrived here this morning. The following are the particulars, as taken from their log book: "Friday 25th, at 10, P. M. 15 miles above New Orleans, the Missouri Belle came in contact with us her starboard bow taking our larboard her hull was stove in, and the Missouri Belle went down head foremost. Tho yawl of the Missouri Belle was cast off, and picked up several persons from tho water. Wc rounded to when we got to the Missouri Belle, at which time not more than 40 feet of the after part of the hurricane deck remained above water. Wc passed a line aboard the wreck, which, being made fast to stauncheon, several persons climbed along it and got on board of our boat. In the mean time the yawl took off a number more from the lower deck. It is thought that a number of persons perished how many, we are unable to say. Boat and cargo totally lost." Since the above was in type, a letter has been received from a passenger on hoard the Missouri Belle, now on the coast, who states that the number of persons on board the boat was about 120 and

it is supposed at least JU ot them were drowned. How many cabin passengers were lost is unknown but report says not more than one. Two women and 3 children arc among the number lost. Hollow Horn. In this disorder the horns are usually cold and hollow, the eyes dull, the subject poor in flesh, and usually the end of tho tail will be soft for two or three inches, and the hair curled on the soft part.

Accident. We have just learned, that a youth of about 15 years of age named James Goodwin was accidentally shot in Twinsburg to-day.
