get loose from oar sedentary labors a ter twelve or foarteen hours digging anions Ibe types, and sally forth jto observe what is pacing around us. It is lit ii wc compare (he benltby look of the

farmer with the gMost like appearance of our brethren of the ink and types see the fruits of industry ripening before us, and observe the look of good nature and happiness shining through every feature as he gazes upon the growth of that which his hands has planted ; and hear the voice of health, and joy, and plenty, Irom his j.-irm house; we arc almost led to believe that the good things of this life are not equally distributed. It i thc,truth that mankind ar not half sensible enough of the superiority of the fanner's situation, in regard to happiness, over every other class in riie community. While the merchant, ihe mechanic, and the professional tnnn, are harrased with care and anxiety, the farmer's mind is free and clear as the air that meets him as he goes to the field. After the labors of the day arc over, the husbandman can retire to his home and enjoy the luxury of rest. Not so with the man ot business; he only exchanges perplexing toil for anxious reflection; and while the lords of the soil are dreaming of the fat oxen and agricultural prizesdris eyes are unclosed and his mind is upon tiic stretch in an endeavor to invent means of taking up the notes at the bunk, or some 9'ich equally pleasant cogitations. LATE FROM EUROPE. The ship Constitution, from Liverpool, one of a fleet of vessels from Europe that arrived last evening ofT the Hook, brings accounts to the lh ult. The arc not, however, important, except" commercially though that, perhaps, is the best importance, after all. T,h mar lift were still very brisk for totton, at high prices. ' The expedition of Don Pedro's troops, about 5000 strong, of which 'we heard some days ago, by way of St. Mi:hatl, landed it seems, at Lagoa, ' about 135 miles to the southward of Lisbon, almost, as far from the capital, therefore, as Oporto, though in an op posite direction. 1 he harbor of Iagos is large and commodious; the town, though not regularly ibrtihed, has several forts and a strong citadel called the Pinhao so that if Don Miguel's troops advance from Lisbon against this detachment, it can hold its ground. i ti. Sohgnac had followed the example of Admiral Sartorius, and left the service of Donna Maria. Marshal Bourmont,on the other hand, had arrived in Ixmdon, on his way, it was said, to take command of the Miguelitc forces. The house of Lords adopted the Slavery resolution after debate, on Tuesday, 25th June. On the 28th, the House of Common in committee. passed the resolution. th.it it was eipc (iientta renr.a the Charter of the Rink of. l.ngland. I he terms of renewal were yet to be discussed. Paris, July 2. The enlistment for the service of Don Pedro is going on actively. Among tbr enlisted are a ronsiderable number of Polish and Itali in refugees. It is said that the Minister of the Marine intends to keep a panther of armed vessels prepared in (lie ports in case an intervention in the ..flairs of Portugal should be decided upon by France and Hnglaud. The JSUssager states that the three systems proposed in Don Pedro's Council were 1, That an army of 4000, men, commanded by the Regent in per son ; should make a descent on Lisbon -ft rm- m. . i -. i nai an army, unacr tne com mand of a General, should proceed to the Algarves in the hope of being joined by a numerous body ot Spanish malcconfcnts and deserters, and thence proceed to Lisbon, while I ton Pedro awaited the result at Opor to, and 3 Thnt the w hole army shculd make a sortie from Oporto against the besieging forces, and if successful march on to Lisbon. This was the opinion of Marshal nongnac, ana ine aaopuon ot tne se cond ptan (which the Mes soger states to be the oNject of the expedition) was the cause of his resignation. The Jlessager considers the decision injudicious, not only because it will occasion delay and increase the chance of Don Miguel being able to interpose a superior force between Donna Maria's army und l-isbon, but because his Algarves is a barren country, where it will be difficult to find subsistence for the troops, and also because the reinforcement of Spanish decrter3 may cive Spai a pretence for interfering against Don Pedro. PoTtTACLn TiiEtTKK. Mr. Faucit Savill,nn ingenious Frenchman, has t-onstructed a portable theatre capable r( containing eight hundred persons. It is built of sheet iron; and may be taken asunder-for conveyance from town to town, by Taa or wagon withnut drawin; a nail.

From the America Syutem. THE QUAKER TRIAL.

This trial is not yet concluded. It - j :n 19 uroticsami:. uuu win uiusi yivwuii ! K , . , be brought to a close some time next week. t. 1. Wall opened tne case for those called Hicksites on last Monday week, and spoke four days, when he was followed by George Wood, on the opposite side, who commenced on Friday, and occupied the Court until Tuesday noon, speaking three days. .r.. . I' I - i 11 rra ugnuu on

n Tuesday and was PhiwbaiKl.-arfy Review. ay on the same side. It is expected J

d that S. L. Southard will commence on the part of the Hicksites today, (Fri day) and perhaps close on Monday or Tuesday next, which will terminate the argument. The case will then be submitted to the decision of the Court, who may perhaps pronounce it in thn course of the week. The Court le attendance in this case is composed of eleven members including the Governor. The Court has had a tedious and laborious sitting, and has paid great attention to the case before it. We hope the decision may give general satisfaction, although it is not to be expected that all will be entirely sat isfied, yet we hope they will content themselves with a decision founded on the principles of equity and justice, In elancinf over the volumes of printed evidence given in the case, we observe that the relative numbers be-lonp-iiif to the Yearly Meeting of Philadelphia, in 1829, which was taken shortly after the separation, are set down as follows, viz: Hicksites, 18,485; Orthodox,7,34; Neutral 429. Total 2u,258. In New York Yearly Meeting, taken about the same time, they are stated at Hicksites, 12,532; Orthodox, 5,913 ; Neutral, 857 Total 19,302. Some few small meetings are not included in the N. Y. estimate, their numbers oot being known, which might vary the result a few hundred. By the above estimate it appears that in the Philadelphia Yearly Meet ing which includes within its limits the present controversy,those called Hick sites outnumber those called Ortho dox, more than two to one, yet it ap pears from the Exhibits read in evi dencc, that the majority have repeat edly offered and always been ready to divide the property equitably, in pro portion to numbers but the minority insists upon having the xvhole, and refused all overturns towards a compromise, and commenced the present suit, (contrary to the established rule amongst them, not to go to law with each other,) to obtain the balance ot property not in their possession- although they had their full proportion of the School Fund belonging to Chesterfield,which is the meeting wheie this suit originated. The grounds upon which those sty led Orthodox claim the wftole proper ty are. as thev allege, a difference of doctrines, whilst at the same time both parties refer back to the writings of Fox, Penn, Hartley, Whitehead, Pennington, and other early Quakers, as containing the principles they pro fess to be governed by, and both par ties at the time of the separation adop ted and used the same discipline. If we arc correctly informed, the majority are yet willing to divide all the property in proportion to numbers. The lawyers on both sides appear well versed in Quaker Theology, and have acquitted themselves with great ability. What the decision will be we do not pretend to conjecture, but may perhaps be able to give it in our next. Milk Sickness. Mr. T. S. Hindc communicates to the Ohio State Journal, as the result cf more than twenty years observation, that the cause of what is culled the milk sickness is a wild vine resembling the poison oak vine. It grows as a shrub, is bushy at top; and in some instances attaches itself to trees, though not as firmly as a creeper. He says, I have observed that the vine attached to trees bears a buff or yellowish berry! covered with a brownish skin. The present season j having been wet, this vine is unusually plentiful, and cases of milk sickness have occurred earlier than common." Mr. J. P. Bradlee of Boston states' that he saw in the garden of Mr. Ze nas Gradcar, at NantucLet,a Greville Rose, which had two hundred distinct clusters, with thirty flowers in a c!u ter. This superb tlower is six years yea t tt old; and it has been found that the ! plant will not come to maturity, nor exll.a A 4 f !k:v:. j.- .: ' r hibit its beauties under six years from the time it first takes root. This cir cumstance has led some to condemn the plant, who were not aware of the time necessary for its growth and development. Fxxalx Industry. Yesterday two country women were pediing whortleberries in tbe street at four cents a quart. They remarked that they had travelled with them seventeen miles, had been out all night, and were anx-

ious to return borne. Though thev had no very great claims to beauty, yet the thought struck us forcibly that

ej were aireauy, or uu they were already, or might easily be . . . converted into, tirst-rate wives. A woman who will picK wnortle-Derries all day, ride all night to carry them to market, and lay out the avails for something for the comfort and convenience of her family, is above rubies. We wish the number was ten times multiplied, and above all things we most ar jucmiy ui dently pray that such a woman may fofever ex foma drunken C actio.

The editor of the Cincinnati Republican, alter announcing the marriage of a couple in that city, thus rejoices over his own good fortune. "Accompanying this announcement, was a large rich, luscious bride cake! whole bride cake none of your pieces! And what is more and what will make all our brother editors, from Lake Erie to the Gulf of Mexico, stare with admiration too bottles of ruddy ZVltlC The following notice of the designs of Russia, is from a late letter of O. P Q. to the editor of the London Morning chronicle : I have said enough to show jou that the affairs of the East are not ter minated that Russia does not intend to withdraw her fleet or her army that she has ulterior designs that she is conspring to take possession of Euro pean turkey for herself that there is no sort of real and true alliance be tween the Courts of St. Petersburg, tendon, and Pans that all is mere patch work, to last for the time being that Russia has not abandoned, even if she has adjourned, her long project a . .a. j rf ca pian that nothing snort ot a war against Russia can realy save the Turkish empire from destruction that all milk-and-water, tepid measures, will be of no use that France and England cannot maintain the ascendancy of Constutiona principles in Europe, and yet yield to uussian influence and Russian diplomacy that if England and France will not attack the Czar, he will ere long attack them, and that both the Governments and the people oft ranee and threat Britain should at length open their eyss to the real ques tion, and should be made to understand and feel that Russian influence must be curbed, and Russian usurpation must be defeated." The following is copy of the circular which Amos Kendall, the agent of the President, has addressed to the several banks intNew York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. Accust, 1833. Sis: I have been appointed by the Secretary, at the request of the President of the United States, to confer with State Banks in relation to the future deposites and distribution of the public revenue. It is deemed probable by the Government, that the Bank of the United States will not be rechartered, and that no other institution will be established by Congress to supply its place as an agent of the Treasury. As it is now less than three years to the expiration of its Charter, the Presi dent thinks it his duty to look to the means by which the service it now renders to the Government is thereafter to be performed, and if sufficient reasons shall exist, the Government may desire to employ another agent, or other Agents, at an earlier penod. The sole object of my appointment is, to ascertain on what terms the several State Banks may be willing to I e i : I I I i?", ""J w Government, should it become necessary or expedient to employ another 1 V f r S of he Treasury, intha event, be rgent, or Agents, that the Secretary . ... ,. ... 7M13UIfc VI UlIVVh m uca w . v pursuit ot this object i nave ine . w a a nocor to enuuire hetber the ISank over which you preside, is disirous, should a change take place, of under taking that agency or a portion of it, at If this inquiry should be answered in tbe affirmative, I am authorised to communicate with you further on the subject. It is however to be distinctly understood that nothing which may pass is to be considered a pledge on the part oil the vov eminent, to remove the deposites from the Bank of the United States

before the expiration of its charter, or to employ your Bank in any event, or to make any arrangements upon the conditions which may now be proposed or received. If it be convenient, I shall be happy to know the disposition of your JJoard of Directors on the subject; if not will you do me the favor to give me your own leaving an expression of the wish

David Crockett, has been elected to Congress from the state of Tennessee, by a majority of auoui 1 1 a votes over nis competitor xur. Wm. Fitzgerald, the late member. A Chain Saw has been invented by Mr. P. P. Quimby, of Belfast, Me. The teeth are riveted together, and then the saw is placed round a cylinder in a groove. Within the last ten years upwards of $42,000 have been collected and expended for churches in East on, Peon. The population of UpperCanada has increased 35,552 in the last year. It is remarkable fact that in England, during the last years, there were 583 persons who received sentence of death, of which number only four were executed. Does not this fact prove that public opinion does not sustain the bloody severity of the English laws ? Tennessee is suffering from drought. Every thingsays the Nashville Banner, is parched ; and corn, it is feared, is already beyond remedy. A powder mill has been erected near St. Louis. Mo., in which GOO lbs, of i powder are daily manufactured. This, taken in connexion with the shot factories at the lead mines in that vicinity, must make ammunition plenty. It is stated that nineteen thousand dollars worth of Swaim's Panacea has been sold within the last twelve weeks. The British Factory Commissioners have recommended in their official report, that the hours of labor for children in factories should be restricted to tight hours per diem. Among other sentences given on the 3d inst. by the New York Special Sessions, five men were sentenced to; six months imprisonment at hard labor, for beating their wives West India Population. The population of the West India Islands is as follows, whites 108,150; slaves 812,700; free blacks 148,707. A premium of $1000 has been offered by the American Peace Society, for tbe best essay on tbe settlement of all differences that may hereafter arise between foreign nations, by the arbitration of a National Congress. Another not took place at St. Catharines, U.C. on the 4th July. Some Americans, at a tavern, having showed some inclination to celebrate independence, a mob assembled before the bouse in the evening, broke the win-! dows, and maltreated several persons' in the house. British cotton lace to the value of a million and a half pounds, was last year smuggled into r ranee. Mammoth Sheet of Paper. At a dinner recently held in the city of Dub lin, which was given by a respectable printer, to a large number of persons who had exerted themselves tor the preservation of his premises from fire on a previous occasion, the table was covered by a single sheet of paper, the dimensions of which were length 125 feet, breadth 5 feet. London Monthly Review. In Lancaster county, Pa. a Mrs. Hummer was killed by lightning whilst resting with her arm on the shaulder of her husband, who was leaning against the casing of a window. Trouble in Brazil. It is reported with every appe ranee of probibihty, that tne Brazilians nad risen on the British merchants, and massacred about fifty. It was said that the difficulty arose from a difference in" the currency of money.

PALLADIUM. SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1833. CHOLERA. From the 17th to the 23rd inst. ten of our citizens fell victims to this disease. A large number of our citizens have had the premonitory symptoms, but by early application to medical ktll,they were readily relieved. We know of only three caejes ia town at present, but should morei . . ..... cians, that bodies dead of cholera, become warm after r certain period would lead us to believe that in many cases, the state called death, after a few hours illness, in cholera subjects, is but a state of stispcndedammationjind that the warmth, produced probably by the refiowing of tbe blood, would indicate a return of the the corpse is found to undergo putre fac tion much more slowly than almost any other disease, therefore we can see no reason for having tbe funeral on the same day of the death. We hare had but one new case of the eholcr since the 18tu inst. and sincerely hope, if it be the will of heaven, that the pestilence has passed awav - The cholera has broken out among the students of Bloomington college, and others of that place. Out of 15 cases there had been three death. A vacation of two weeks has been ordered, and many of the students have left. It has somewhat abated in Lebanon, O. It has disappeared entirely from Cincinnati. In Columbus, Ohio, but few cases have occurred in tbe last week.

We learn by the last Democracy thoT. the Agent of the three per cent, fund, has four hundred dollars now in his hands, for each of the counties in 'the state, to be applied under the appropriation of last winter. Public Land. Gov. Noble has receiv ed a letter from M. T. Williams, Surveyor General, stating that the subdivision the fractional half quarters is completed in the Indianapolis land district, and that he will be able to furnish the different ofj (ices in the state, with copies of the suLd vision in the course of the ensuing three months. A man in Jefferson county, N. Y. has invented a machine for milking cows! What next? It is stated that the natural increase of population in Great Britain, is equal to live hundred in every twenty tour hours. It is currently reported through the city, that the mission of Amos Kendall to the Philadelphia Banks, in leferen.ce to the government deposits, has been altogether unsuccessful. With a solitary exception, it is said, all the Banks have refused the deposits on any terms. Arkansas. The territory of Arkansas now contains upw ards of 40.000 inhabitants. In three vears it will have a sufficient number to entitle it to admission intoour distinguished Union, as a state. Tennesiee Congressional Election. As far as returns have been had the following gentlemen are elected. In the 6th district, Bailey Peyton; in the 7th district, John BeH; in the Sth district, David W. Dickinson; in the 9th district, James K. Polk; in the 11th district, Cave Johnson. A man near Easton Pa., lately sickened of the Cholera, and died as was supposed. Within an hour he was placed in a conflict and taken to the burial place. Just as bis friends were lowering tbe coffin a deep moaning was heard, which led to the removal of the lid. Tbe man exhibited signs of life, was stripped of the habiliments of tbe narrow bouse, and soon recovered his usual health.
