MOKE FRONTIER TROUBLE

I'liu Rochester nnntrs ot' the 1th inst. bring informaliou of a strange affair at l!rocknllo. Upper Canada. The steamboat Telegraph, while leaving the wharf at that place on Friday night, was fired into by the militia stationed at Brockville, and although nobody was hurt, several balls left traces of their progress. Bait- Pat. From the Rochester Democrat, June 4th. ANOTHER STEAMBOAT OUTRAGE! The Steamboat Telegraph fired into by a body tf armed men at Brockville! Wc fear that a crisis is approaching which will throw our frontier into the whirlpool of strife, for it is impossible that outrages so glaring as are those continually being perpetrated oa the lakes, can long be tamely borne by cither nation. The destruction of the Caroline, alouc, was sufficient to have endangered the tranquility of the two countries; and uothiug but mutual forbearance r uld have subJuod the fearful storm which gathered beneath the smoke of the Sir Robert Teel, but we know not whethei any thing but the interposition of Divine Providence, can keep the sword sheathod, now that another outrage has been perpetrated by indiscreet if not wilfully malicious men. The facts of this last act, as we gather them from the Captain of the Telegraph, are substantially as follows: The Telegraph left Oswego at G o'clock on Saturday evening touched at Prescott as usual and reached Brockville about 9. Here she landed at the lower dock took on board and left n number of passengers received the visit and insult of an unarmed mob. who ransacked the cabins, and otherwise evinced a turbulent disposition and was moving past the upper wharf, when she was hailed, and uoinaianded to "come to." The captain, supposing there were passengers in waiting, stopped the engine, and dropped down to within 20 loot of the dock, but, apprehensive that all wus not right, he told the passengers to come on board in the small boat. Bui this would not Batisfy the crowd, who insisted upon the boat's coming up to the dock. After u few words had passed, the captain peremptorily refused to haul, set the engine in motion, and moved off. Immediately upon this, and while the boat was within a few few feot of the wharf, about twenty muskets were lired, and four of the lialh entered the ladies enbin.' One passed within a few inches of the chambermaid, and two struck very near the captain. It is said that the men who fired the guns were the guard called out by the public authorities! If so, the outrage is ten-fold more aggravated, and may lead to ten-fold more serious consequences ! If the perpetrators are demanded by our government, they will not, of course, be delivered up. In that case our government cannot, consistently with its dignity, give up the wretches who destroyed the Sir Robert Peel, and thus a collision may he made inevitable. But wc hope that they were nut in the scmce of the government ; or if they were, that they did not act in accordance with the command of any officer. Indeed, wc will not for a moment harbor the thought, that it was aught else than nn unauthorized act, which the Colonial Government will be us prompt to repudiate, as our Government will he that of the destruction of the Sir Robert Peel. Tho-e on board of the Telegraph suppose that the object in commanding her lo laud was to destroy her; and attribute her escape from such a catastrophe, only to her landing at the lower wharf, Where the body of men were not assembled. But wc believe such an opinion to be erroneous. The fact, however, that she WW fired into, the lives of those on board endangered, an insult offered to the American Flag, i enough to alarm every one for the consequences. Something efficient must be done to prevent a repetition of these outrages, or (and it is folly to disguise it) war w ill ensue. IKAc TICAL AMALGAMATION. Some weeks since an intolerant lecturer of abolition visited the neighborhood of Portsmouth, Ohio, and put up at a public houtc with the intention of enlightening! we iiuiiua 01 an poonc in regain 10 tnc oppression of his dark colored brethren and Asters, by a lecture to be delivered the next day, on flic cruelty anil tyranny of the whites in refusing to admit the negro lo a perfect equality with themselves, in all respects. All the visitors and lodgers in the tavern were annoyed during the day by the impertinent conduct of the pseudo philanthropist, forcing his disgusting doctrines on every one who had sufficient patience or curiobity to listen to him. The landlord whose house was hunored with the presence of the lecturer, formed the plan of experimenting on his profession; of love for Afric's 6able race.' In the evening the landlord called to him a colored man named Hill, who acted as ostler, or man of all w ork, about the inn, and ordered bun to wash himself well, put on a clean shirt, and go to ' bed in a certain room winch he mentioned. Bill acted as his master directed him, ami felt considerably 'struck up' with the sudden change of sleeping apartments, from the kitchen loft lo the best bed room in the house, and attributed it nil to the presence of his white friend, who had taken several opportunities through the day, to impress on Bill's mind that all nun wen; equal, and that the fact of a portion ol sociely heiner hies..; -with a tairer skin, gave them no right to claim a superiority over their less f irtunate brothers and sister? of a darker hue, and that naturally Bill ami every other gentleman of color, who performed the purtoficrvauts to the w hites, had the same rights to respect and privileges as their masters.Bill saw the justness ol his friend's equality' doctrine at once, and when called by the landlord, was deciding in his own "Sad in whal manner he would propose to his nwtcr a change in their respective stations; he i assume the duties of host, and his employer tak. ,lp the curry comb and brush; 'turn abouf. fair ,4,,, tmglt B;n. In the evening, when the JeiA.,rer wished to retire, the landlord conducted him v, i,;9 chamber and showed him the bed be was to occupy. After he had disrobed himself and turned down the clotheB to get into bed, ho started back with astonishment on beholding his iriend Bill in snug possession of one half of it, who limited him with a familiar nod to get in. The abolitionist cast a look of scorn or, poor Bill, and demanded . of the landlord what he meant tat; bin a "nisrsrr" for a bedfellow , ),r ,va5

-wered with hib "equality" argument Bj.ll person wai healthy, he had on a clean shirt, was not addicted to any ugly habits in his sleep, and more than all, was one of the 'proscribed and injured race' for whom the Ecntlenian professed such ardent love; the last consideration ought to make Bill a welcome companion to the lodger." The enraged philanthropist could not stand this practical test of his doctrine, but let loose his w rath on the landlord : "Sir, 1 tell you I w ill not put up with this unparralled indignity; whoever heard of such insolence? putting a gentleman to sleep.with a filthy nigger." " And let me tell you, sir," replied the landlord, "that with that 'nigger' you'll have to sleep, if you sleep at all ; he is as clean in his person and clothes as you are yourself, and in every other respect according to your own preaching, he is your equal, so hop in and embrace your brother, for most certainly he 6hall be your companion until morning." The abolitionist threatened, raved and coaxed, but all would not do the landlord was inexorable, he was determined to make his lodger practice what he preached, and the crest-fallen abolitionist was compelled to take his place alongside of his sooty

friend, w here he lay till morning, enduriB feelings that cannot be described. He was kept in a state of continual restlessness through the whole night, repelling Bill's fa miliarities and keeping the negro's woolly head out of his face. He rose at the dawn of day, w hile his comrade, "all in black" with a mind Irce Irom all the perplexed cares of life, was enjoying "the honey heavy dew of Bluniber," called for his bill and left the town. The lecture was consequently "indefinitely postponed." "Bill related, with great importance, the distinguished honor conferred on him, by being the bed-fellow of Mr , but said, the comfort is not so much to be desired, as the "gemniau kicked most almightily, and had a 'streinelv bad bref, dat however is tributablc to his white extraction." MissiSKii'i'i Momiv. The following re marks in reference to Mississippi bank notes are made in the Nashville Whig of the 4th inst. I here are signs ol improvement every where. Mississippi money took quite a fall at the close of last week, and sales of River notes were made on Saturday, to brokers, at 224 per cent, and to irregular buyers as low as ten per cent, discount. To-day we quote at the following rates; Natchez Banks and Branches Vicksburg Manchester Woodville - - Brandon Columbus Other Banks - There are several causes for Ida 12 j 12 12d 124 25 a 30 15 20 this sudden ohangc. Mississippi money is daily grow ing better in the eastern markets; the late rates, 17 to 20 per cent, would not he submitted to by a majority of holders, and in order to buy, the brokers found it to be to their interest to reduce the rates. Aside from these consideration, there is said to be an agent of the Bank of the United StateE in the market, who has large orders for this description of funds to fill, il to be hud at shaving rales. .Qlivei T'neetand. A pettier for the pardon ol Abner Knoelnnd, lately ouvieluil of the crime of Blasphemy, is in circulation.

From an able speech, in defence of the Cumberland road appropriation, by Mr. dishing, M. C. from Massachusetts, we extract the closing paragraph. W. regret that we cannot find room for the entire speech. Sir, it may be, il must, that the relative political Consequence of the Atlantic Stales will bfc diminished by tin: prosperity of the west. Be il so. It is the natural result of the developement of the resources of the country foreseen by our fathers, anil admitted by them, as il should be by us to raise up rich and populous States beyond the mountains, dividing with us the national power. But 1 cannot suffer myself to regard the question in the limited view of mere sectional interests. Il involves the greater good of the whole nation, the good of the human race. The lurpdue population of the Atlantic Slates will continue, as it has done, to sow itself broadcast over the valley of the Mississippi. Are they not still our own posterity, our brethren, our blood, and Americans like ourselves? I rejoice in the spectacle of the Anglo-American stock extending itself into the heart of the continent, taking the place of the wild beasts and roaming savages of the Far West, advancing, as it were, a preordination of inevitable progress, like the sun moving westerly in the heavens, or the ascending tide on the sea shore, or, in the striking language of a foreign traveller, as a deluge of civilized men raiting unabruptly and driven onwards by the hand of God. I rejoice to see growing up in the west a prosperous and cultivated community, daughter of the cast, nor shall I rejoice the tots, though she rival the parent in splendor. Mnlrc pulchra filia jiulrhrior. II, as may well happen, flic expanding States of the west be fated to reach the remote .shores of the Pacific itself, I desire to sec them carry along with them the laws, education, and social improvements, which belong to the older States, so as to combine distant people, by the ties of mutual goodwill and beneficial intercourse as well as of blood; thus overcoming the obstacles of time and space, and worthily fulfilling the great destiny reserved for this exemplary American Republic. Nick Biddle has bought over 50,000 bales ol cotton at the South, since the middle of last February, lie has made advances also to the Brandon Bank of Mississippi on over t)0,vlOl bales at tin rate of $40 per bale.

On this subject the Philadelphia Commer cial List of Saturday says: "To night the Bank Committee will hold a meeting, and a part of the Baltimore delegation are now in this city, and will probably attend it. We understand that there is now nothiug to prevent our Banks from resuming specie payments at once, ns intimated in our remarks last week, but the desire of acting in concert with the Banks in Boston, Baltimore, Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, and other sections of the country, so ns to render any movement general and effectual and not partial. With this object in view it is probable that some general understanding will take place, and that some early day, say 4th of July, will be fixed as the period for a general resumption of specie payments."

Wc cannot think that those who have hitherto so manfully resisted the open and covert assaults of the enemy, will be found sleeping on their posts, when he makes this, his last and most dangerous assault, yet when the relative strength of the parties is so nearly balanced, caution, caution cannot be too strongly inculcated. The Sir Robert Peel. The Montreal Courier of the 4th inst. expresses much satisfaction at the efficient and successful efforts which have been made by the American authorities, to ferret out the ruffians who destroyed the Sir Robert Peel ; and adds, Dr. Scott, of Brockville, ha6 given most important evidence. It appears that he was a passenger on board the Perl, and that as the pirates were leaving Well's Island, he was called upon as a medical man, to at tend to a hurt which one of them (Scanling) had received, a supposed broken arm. !

larshall before Lord Dubois, for the sum of 4s. for making and trimming a certain dress. Miss Juliana, like Spring-heeled Jack, seemed wonderfully confident, and looked at the jury with an air that not only mightily tickled their fancies, but made Mr. Dubois himself pretty considerably "all-overish." Miss Marshal), on the contrary, was like Niobe, "all tears;" her careworn features at once showed that (as John Clare, the Northamptonshire poet hath it) "She was a child of poverty, A victim doomed to misery" -subject to all the ills that dress-makers are heir to a living martyr to the pampered pride and taste of her own gentle and considerate sex ! Lord Dubois. Pray what is the four shillings for, Miss Marshall? Miss Marshall. Sir, I have done much for this lady : I have toiled night and morning, but all I claim now is the trifle for making up that last dress. Miss Juliana (theatrically).

Of those arrested, are Nuthan Lee, of Clayton, in Jefferson county; Hates, Hugh Seunluii, and two brothers Warner all Cumulians,oxocpt Leo. The officers of Justice are on the alert, and but little doubt remains that the plot will be fully exposed; and the offenders brought to merited punishment U. S. Gac.

As a great deal has been said about tin superlative lolly ol the Ja6t Legislature in taking upon themselves the revising of the laws, after the Judges of the Supreme Court had well nigh completed a code, under tin instructions of a previous Legislature; and then, after spending about six weeks of their time, and some $20,000 of the people's money unnecessarily, abandoning the work to the supervision of the Secretary of State and inasmuch, as a great deal ofccniiurehiis been heaped upon the heads of the maiority of the Legislature, in consequence of this measure, we have deemed it nothing !e than an act of duty on our part to inform the people of this county bow their representatives voted on the question. We therefore give below a list of the yeas and nay, by which it will be seen that three out of four of our representatives voted against the proposition to take from the Jndges the revision of the laws.
