The question relative to divorces, was put to rest, for the present session, in the House of Representatives on Wednesday last, by the introduction of - .1 a bill bv Mr. StanD. for the divorce ol a lady of Jefferson county from her hus band. I his was a strong case, and shows distinctly, by the vole of rejec tion, that divorce bills will not be enter tained by the House. The applicant had filed a bill for a divorce in the Jefferson Circuit Court, alledging that her husband, who was absent from the State, and fearful to return, but stiil in favor of living with her, was guilty of larceny which could be proven to the satisfaction of the Court; but inasmuch as no conviction had taken place, the bill fell on demurrer, and no divorce was obtained. A variety of opinions appear to exist with regard to the dis cretionary powers of the Judges of the Circuit Court; but inasmuch as some of the Judges believe that they-cannot go beyond the causes particularly specified in the Statute, some amendments to the divorce law will be deemed necessary the bill was rejected on the first read ing, by a considerable majority. JJemoerat, FOR THE TIMES. Now it came to pass in the reign of iNoah, in the land ol Indiana, that a great tumult arose between the people of the lower end of the couuty of Dear born, and what is known .as the Law renceburgh junto, a set of beings inhabiting a small island near the confines of the land of Ohio, in consequence of the lormer location ot the county seat, being placed upon said island, and be ing very difficult of access, owing to said island being under water one third of the time. And it further came to pass in the 34th year o( the 13th century, in the reign of the said Noah, that a petition was got up by the oppressed of the county of Dearborn, which petition contained a large majority of the people of said county, praying a relocation of I he county seal from this said island called Lawrenceburgh, which was laid before the great sanhedrim, then sitling at Indianapolis. And it came to pass that the sanhedrim said that five honorable commissioners should go and view the land throughout the countv of Dearborn, and if thought advisable to move the people's court house to some more suitable place, abstract from the island of Lawrenceburgh. And it came to pass that said commissioners concluded lhat the island of Lawrenceburgh was not a fit place for the people's court house, and so placed it at Wilmington, in the said county, and the junto became very much outraged and perplexed, and said one unto the other, we will not suffer ihese things so to be, for have we not always ruled the people of the lower end of the county, caused them to obey our mandates, and bow to our sceptre t and then they swore in their wrath the county feat should not depart from the island ; and they said to a certain Knight of the Mortar, clothed with clerical robes, you can do much seeing the robe you wear, and they said to another Irish heretic, you can do much, seeing you are popular and have been a long time in office, and they said to another Irish dema-j

eoeue. now in office, you can help us

. i ..." n. too; so in jou Tto pa s fide this matter: and sou came io pass in the 35th year of the 19th century, in the reign of the said Noah, that a conclave meeting was got up by the junto, which assembled at a place called Manchester, in the land of Indiana, the re sult of which was lhat the meeting nom inated three cyphers, who pledged themselves if elected they would do all in their power to continue the court house at the island ol LrawrenceDurgn But it came to pass that in the progress of lime they were mistaken, and only elected one of those spoken of, and that was effected from circumstances; and ht jlappenej Ulat af(er Va. i 1 i n 2 to elect nominations made by the junto, that lne7 were sore'y grieved, and said again what plan is best now to devise to serve the junto, our masters and iney said with one accord, let us draw up an instrument purporting to be a petition, to be presented to the great sanhedrim, which is to assemble tins winter at In dianapolis, in the land of Indiana; and so it was agreed upon, and lie that wears the clerical robes was appointed to write the petition, for said they, all the people will believe him. And it came to pass at the lime of writing this petition, that the whole junto assembled together and directed Ihe saint and knight of the mortar, to write as though he would wish the people to believe he was interested in iheir behalf; but be it understood we want the court house here to the exclusion of all other places. And it came to pass lhat after the people got to see the junto's petition, their designs were distinctly understood. For proof, I refer the reader to the prayer of tiie petition "We therefore, your petitioners, ask your honorable body (the sanhedrim) to ...... . . . V . repeal so much ol said law as makes Wilminclon the countv- scat." Is not this plain and simple to be understood? Suppose the great sanhedrim would repeal so much of said law as makes Wilmington the county seat, would not the seat of justice then again be at ihe isl and of Lawrcnceburgh? Yes, assured ly it would, and this is the whole sequel of the petition got up by the junto to deceive the people and retain the court house. And it came to pass that the people discovered the intrigues of the junto, and they said write a remonstrance against this petition, and we will sign it; and so it was written, and has obtained the signatures-of 1G00 of Ihe people of Ihe county of Dearborn, in the land of Indiana, and will be presented to the great sanhedrim sitting at Indianapolis, provided the petition is presented. And lo and behold ! these things are true. Taken from ihe 2d chapter of the 1st book of Chronicles, the 14th day of the 12th month, 1835, and in Ihe olh year of the reign of sai Noah. 1SSACHAR. CANADA. There are strong svmptoms of a rev olutionary spirit in the subjoined article, irom a Canadian paper. It is well cal culated to excite surprise, indeed, lhat those colonies, separated from tbe moth er country by a broad ocean, and bound to tier by no congeniality of interest oi feeling, and with a bordering on states blessed with free institutions, should never have made an effort to shake off their fetter?. The event, however. thus astonishingly long delayed, cannot be far distant or at least an attempt made to effect it, when one of their public journals can openly allude to. ana inairectiy encourage it. Lynchburg Virginian "We have already said that a foreign yoke, although lined vith velvet, sits not easy on the necks of the native born Americans, and that European bondage will be endured in America no longer than it is convenient. We now add lhat the Western Hemisphere is too far advanced in civilization, wealth and population, to owe obedience to the dictates of the antiquated Eastern world. Our spirits are roused at the thought, and we experience a feeling of debasement in reflecting that we are the last among the inhabitants of this continent to declare our capa bility to govern ourselves, disenthralled from the clumsy operation of foreign di rection, ihe timeworn nrincinles of ancient kingaoms correspond not with the "fresh, the fair, the ever free" principles, that govern and control men in . i i . i - - this bright and beautiful world of the West. Even the emigrant of vesterdav finds the vallies of the West as green, the hilU as wild, and the skies as bright as those that adorned his native land. An affection for Europe has in a great measure ceased to be a natural feeling, i Why indeed should the children of America regard the soil or the flags of Europe wun any more anection than the children of Europe regard the coil of the easternmost parts of Asia f The march of the world is Westward."

TIIE.MINT. We learn that a new die for the

coins of the United States is now in a state of preparation, and will be ready for use in the ensuine; vear. Tbo ,!. sign was prepared by Sully, and is said to be exceedingly beautiful. It is a full length image of the Goddess of Liberty, in a silting posture, with one hand resting on a shield containing a coat of arms of the United Stalee. On the reverse will be the American Eagle, as at present, without, however, the shield and coat of arms with which his breast is disfigured, and which somewhat resembles a gridiron, exhibiting the bad taste of boiling a bird with his feathers on. The first coin struck with the new device will be the dollar, of which there have none been coined for 30 years. We nviy mention, lhat while on a visit to the Mint a day or two since, we ascertained that such is the demand for dimes and half dimes, lhat the officers of that institution have now on hand orders for more than thoy will be able to coin for six months to come. This argues the necessity of new branches of the Mint, or at least shows the importance of despatch in getting the branches already provided for bv Con gress, into operation. We may also state, for (he informa tion of our readers and correspondents at a distance that any amount of cents may be obtained at the U. States Mint in this city, and the Government will take the trouble and incur the expense of exportation to any section of the Union. Biccnell. Wiiiulino om one Toe. Mademoiselle Ce leste, the celebrated French pantomimic actress and dancer, is staled lo have already received during her present visit to this country, (a period of twelve months.) the enormous sum of fifty thousand and thirty dollars! New-York has the enviable credit of having given her twenty-two thousand three hundred; Boston, thirteen thousand five hundred; Hiilndelphia, eight thousand five hundred; Ba!limore,lhrce thousand five hundred; Montreal, cne thousand; Quebec, eight hundred; Albany, one hundred and thirty. So much for cultivating one's heels or rather, one's big toes. It would take a long while to spin fifty thousand dollars out of the public, by the exercise of one's brains. There has long been a contest between heels and heads; but it must now be admitted that the Li, toe is capable of bearing away the prize from either. Buckeye Onderdoxk. The pardoning of this young man, who was put upon trial, a few weeks since in New-York and convicted of forgery, has created a veryconsiderable excitement at the East. The governor is censured by many and the Attorney-General of the United Slates, who gave a written opinion that there was gross and dangerous irregularity in the trial, is very properly censured by a portion of tbe New-York press. The 'Transcript' of 30(h ultimo, contains an able and interesting communication upon the subject, in which it is clearly demonstrated, that there rcas no irregidarily in the trial The crimnal is a son of Dishon Onderd.-mL- ,l for lhat reason, if no other, it is to be icgreuea that the petition for pardon was not based upon olher grounds. This, of all others is the age of humbuggery, and fanaticism, and discontent with existing things. It therefore behooves all, who have the welfare of this nation at hearf, to guard watchful against putting weapons into the hands of the disaffected. In some quarters already, since the pardoning of voting Ondei donk, has been raised the cry of fuvor in high places f Bucket. The Salmagundi.'
