At the request of Mr.. Edaards, Langdon Chcvesy of Philadelphia, and Jonathan Jennings, a member of the house of representatives, from Indiana, have been summoned to give testimony before the committee. The Intelligencer of the 9th inst, says, the committee of investigation again met yesterday, and, at the instance of Mr. Ed' Tcairds,, took the testimony of the hon. Mr. Lloyd, of Massachusetts, as to the usage of banks on the subject of deposites. The committee w ill sit every day we understand. Mr. Forsyth attends on the part of Mr. Crawford, and Mr. Cook for Mr. Edwards, as to the examination of witnesses. It is probable that the committee will sit a considerable time before they will be enabled to close the matter under their charge when it is closed, we shall insert so much concerning it as shall appear necessary. JVies' Register. Mb. CitAwronD. Much is said in the newpapers about the secretary of the treasury's present state of health, and there is no 6mall degree of warmth manifested on the subject. One party represents him as being out of danger, and the times have been appointed at which he would leave Washington on an excursion to the north, to re-establish his strength; but some
I persons speak of him as being nearly blind
atiected in the organs ol speech by a paralytic shock, and add that his mental faculties are impared: declaring that his recovery is not hoped for, but that the prospect of it is held out until certain arrangements can be made as to the candidate to he supported for the presidency in his place and, indeed, I myself have heard it irravelytatt d, that a certain distinguished gentleman of Georgia, and a warm friend
of Mr. Craw lord, was actually looking out for the vice-presidency, notwithstanding t is prescribed by the constitution that two persons from the same state shall not be voted for, for president and vice-president. What is the truth, it Is ditlkult to say but I cannot discover why there should he any misrepresentation about it, one way or another. It has sometimes been the practice in king-governed countries, to conceal even the decease of a sovereign, until the succession was settled by the ministers in solemn caucus assembled but nothing of this sort can present it-
self as bein necessary in the present in
stance. That Mr. Crawford has long been rxceHjU gly ill, is notorious. He has sutTerJ ' "'"S, and his most intimate friends, .... iyc had reason to believe that LiJL hopeless but the probability thaKte is much belter than he was; ttnd IxM oration of his health, with the'reeablishment of all his faculties, must he the wish of every liberal-minded man, notstanding he may utterly reject the claims preferred on his behalf to the presidency of the U.

' From the Cbillicothi Timet. vjfu Yates (of N. York) has, at leneth,
iued a procKimatinn reuiring the members of both branches of the legislature to convene at the capitol, in Albany, on Monday the second day of August next. Thc object of thU convention ii to recommend the passage of an act which will se cure to thc people the right of chooseing electors of President and Vice-president of the United States. It appears that the oppo
sition manifested by Oov. Y ates to the passage of this bill during the last session of the Legislature, proceeded from an Impression
that congress would pass a law regulating the manner of electing Electors throughout
the United States. Thc J"nv York .dmcrican in speaking on this subject says, "The
Governor has met the crisis manfully. Me
has seen that thc voice, the universal voice
of the people, called for the restoration of
the right to choose electors. He has per
ceived that thc efforts in congress were
mere pretences, cot up to dupe those who might otherwise he uneasy in this state;
and thai thev were abandoned: as from
the first they were intended to be abandoned, the moment it was thought the state was committed against anv change. He
has, therefore, boldly and wisely.as we say, i i . J 1
exercised nis prerogative, and thereby utterly discomfited and overthrown the conspirators against the people's rights; and the people, therefore, will sustain him. We may now congratulate the state upon standing erect and disenthralled. The choice of electors will be given to the people: and the thirty-six votes of New York will be given for John Q. Adasis." Woiims. All accounts, at well from the neighboring counties, as from all the neighborhoods in this county, agree that thc ravages of thc cut worm are great: and that the growing crops are suffering much from their devastations; grass, small grain, cotton, and even young corn, are in many fields s. d to be so materially injured, that hones of a harvest are abandoned. The means of destroy ing so devastating so enemy
is all desirable. On the subject tre hr no experience, iqt v?e have somewlu read that the. crops of a tract of count, in which pains were taken to destroy bitwas for several years after such destr tion; devastated by worms. The little servation our garden has enabled us make, induces the belief that the T7c, multiplies at least fiftv fold in a week,a a it is highly probable, that birds which feed on them greedily particularly on their first appearance, would thin them down to numbers comparatively harmless. We recommend to our farmers the fostering of all kinds of birds that feed on worms, particularly the Robin, which has lately appeared, and winter ploughing, as most likely

The extensive establishments erecting

i necessary machinery for preparing the
j cotton for spinning and for weaving and dressing the cloth. One of these mills went I into operation last fall ; another is erected to be filled with machinery early this seaIson; and we are informed that two more
are to be erected this year, and two each succeeding year. In addition, they hana capacious building for bleaching; and'a-
I potberfor printing calicoes and othercotton ! goods. These are nearly completed, and ; will go Into operation this season. At another part of the corporation is a building ; of thc same size as the cotton mills to be appropriated for building machinery of every description used in cstablisments of j this kind. Near this is a large Foundry, i It is estimated that three spindles will make ! two yards of cloth, or 2408 yards in each , mill per day on an average.

Interesting Notice!
V I HEREBY inform the citizen-of Wayne county, that I an authorized, and have commenced the Collection of Revenue for the present year, un drr the regulations of the new law on that subject, which provides that the collector shall receive the taxes at his ofSce, at thecounty seat ; and is very severe indeed, on the collector, incase of default io pay ins: over the money to the treasury exactly at the time tpecified by law. You will therefore per ceive the necessity the collector is under of coercing payment-- I am well aware of the "hardness of times," and the great arcily of money," yet a m the law makes no provide ns for indulgence on that account, I can assure the reople no indulgence caa . or will he jjiven; and I hope, the people will exert0' themselves to settle their tax immediately. Nonreident owners of land or town lots, or their act ntst are informed that 1 will advertise for sale, all such land or town lots remaining unpaid, on the first of Ausrust neit. I will attend at my oGce in Centreville, on Fridays and Saturdays, in each week, until the 20th day of July next, for the purroe of receiving; taxes.

PROPOSALS By Elisha Bates, for publishing by subscription, THE DOCTRINES OF FRIENDS. The above treatise was written, as the first part of a reneral History of the Societ) of Friend. But as the collection of the materials for the body of tho work, will require a considerable time, it lias a thought best to publish the doctrines in a separate volume. This measure will not retard, but male rially facilitate the publication of the whole v ork; and enable those who may prefer it to obtain either part without thc rest. The Doctrines of Friends have been ably deff nded from the rise of the Society, down to the pre t.t time. The earliest of these writings were contro-. versial, and thus became voluminous; while thosj of modern times, are very concise and chiefly cor fined to the most important articles of the Christi l Faith. Tho' the writings extant, of both these cl ses, are excellent of their kind, yet it seems de-irr ble thatth middle ground should be occupied tht the whole dortrines should be laid down,so conciseP) as to be adar trd to general circulation, and yet fullv, as to leave nothing of importance unnoticed or doubtful. This seems particularly desirable for the benefit of the younger part of the Society itself and for the information of enquiring minds, amonj, other denominations. ? w:. w nn Hortrin has been stated. whicCl
has not reen "fully ackowlcdged by the Society; anj nothinc omitted which seemed necessary to give fair view of their relieious principles.
The "Doctrines" will be contained in an oetaO volume, of between 300 and 400 pages. It will be printed onine paper, new type, neatly bound and and lettered. Price, $1,50 cents, payable on df . liverv.
