A ntlNTKK WANTL1K A good Pi inter of industrious habits, can have constant work and liberal vsrs if application be made so:i at ibis office. We are authorised t announce Archibld Simpson as a candidate for County Commissioner at the A-is-tist election. At the last census, the numbrt of ruts reported to he in Boston was seven thousand eiuht hunanJ on, exclusive of mice. i,i"i l zt. They were all found snugly quartered in Uncle Sam's corn crib, in company with the Loco-focos. "."ifonsarrat't Southern and Iff stem Bank Xott Table and Count erf lit Detector," is the title of a m w paper published in Cincinnati, at $1 per annum. All business men should take it, as it fives the news in relation to our immediate circulation, more minutely and sooner than it can be obtained through a distant paper. -.?- The late Attorney General H. R Duller, is writing "Sonnet's on Character" for the Democratic Review. The May number contains two one on Lafayette, the other Franklin. The discussion in the House of Representatives of the United States, on the late duel was terminated on the loth instant. The report of the Committee, Evidence and Journal were laid on the table by a tote of 102 to 76, and ordered to be printed. The bill t authorise the re-issue of Treasury notes, has passed the Lower House of Congress. . Mr. Riddle lately received one million nine hundred hundred thousand dollars, principally in gold, from New ork. The Louisville Advertiser says, "that the fact lht the Treasury, lately overflowing with a troublesome surplus, is now entirely empty, is astonishing. There is no doubt of it verv man's experience proves it the lamentations of a perishing party prove it." So the parly are perishing; what think you neighbor of this confession! And what do you suppose the people will think of a party who would permit the ivovcrnment to heroine insol vedt. and then express astonishment at the result. . in manna. ha .1 -- t,c would submit his resolution (amounting to repeal of the Treasury Specie Circular) everv dav until it should be carried!! 'Immdialcly after the journal was read, this morning, a proposition was made for; rcptuling (in effect) the Specie Circular of, Juhf, 183f, from a quarter whence no one couiu t,.-.. ..,Q... -- KaiclifF Boon, of Indiana, movea a suspension of the rules for the purpose ot submitting a. resolution, providing that there shall be no discrimination, after the first of June, 1838, in the kind and description, of currency receivable in payment for public lands, customs, and the due; of Government. In ain did Cambreling object! in vain did lie call upon Hoon to withdraw his motion ia ib did one of the Wliin;r rs-in call for the uves and noes. Boon persist ed in his motion, ll required a vote of two-third'. It obtained, ayes Do, nay 53 not enough so it was lost." We copy the above from the Da! ti more Patriot. Who would have thought that R. Ilooti, the Ajax Tel einon of the party, would hare adrocated a whig measure' This is follovTing in the "footsteps" with a vengeance. Wc are happy to learn that lie has slipped his collar, that is, if it were shaken off in good faith, and not to be resumed. Mr. B. is a candidate for the Senate of the United States he is aware that he cannot be elected without the support of some of the whij members of oir Legislature, hence, perhaps his sudden abandonment of the policy of Amos Kendal! fc Co. We can assure the gentleman that political manoeuvring has had its day, is well understood, and that his miraculous conversion will be properly appreciated by the whig of Indiana. The New York Star says that the Pennsylvania Bank of the United States now has about eight millions of dollars in specie in its vaults. This is rather a better eondition than Van Buren's governtneni that owes twice eight millions without having even rags to pay it with. The following sensible article is from the same paper: ETt7"Whton earth prevents the Hank of the United States from resuming, with nil this specie?" says the Journal of Commerce. That is the business of the Hank and the State that chartered the Hank. It is precisely the point complained of. v hat right have we in New York, coercpd by a law of the State into resumption, to turn upon other Banks in other States, and require of them to follow? The United States Rank shows its ability to resume the foundation of its credit, is that that Bank has loaned money to merchants, has aided trade and commerce, has not for a year past suspended business, and requires a little more time to prepare to resume, and to eontinte to resume after commeneinf.

Mr. Hiddle, on behalf of the IJ.mk ol the United States, made the munificent donation of $20,000 to the sufferers by the late conflagration, through the Mayor ol Charleston. We call the attention of the community to the advertisement of Mrs. L. S. W ilkmson, and Mis S. Durgess. Besumption of Specie Payments. A resolution was adopted at the late inectiujr of the directors of the Statu Hank, authorizing tliis "President to open a correspondence as soon as convenient, wit'.i the banks in Cincinnati, O. and Louisville, Kv. and such other banks as he may think proper, with a view to effect as early a resumption of specie payments as possible, and to express a willingness on the part of this bank, to resume by the first ot August next, or simultaneously with those banks if ihey should consent to an earlier day." Thus it will be seen that our bank is able, and willing, aye anxious, to resume the payment of specie at the earliest possible dav that the Ohio and Kentucky banks will consent to. It would be folly in her to resume, before those banks, nor do the people wish her to do so. In view of an early resumption, the Hranches ere advised to accommodate the people with specie for change, as far as practicable and expedient. Indiana Journal. eee Another Branch of the State Hank. The Directors of the State Hank of Indiana, at their late session, located a Uraneh at Rushville, Rush county, of which Rushvillc is the county seat, is the third or fourth in the State in point of population, and, is emphatically, an agricultural county lb. ee Gen. Tipton has declined being considered a candidate for re-election to the office of United States Senator. (Jen. T. has been in public office for twenty-seven years and, though differing with him on measures of government policy, candor compels us to say, that as far as we have any knowledge, he has generally discharged the duties of the various stations which he has lilled, with zeal and fidelity. .May peace and contentment be his lot in the shades of retirement. ,'. The Duelling' Subject. Prom the .Vat tonal Intel, if Saturday.

From the beg, lining, the Government papers have teemed with statements re specting the proceedings in the House ot Representatives on the Duelling subject calculated, and indeed obviously intended to mislead the mind "!' those who read them, as to the cours-' of .V'embers con cerning the matter, ai,.! ti e a puny color in and bearm" to the u ' wi lignant intention of i! .? oi'iici.d paper ol this riiv is particular!'' transparent in Us notice of the proceed. tigs tf the House an I hursdav, when ti e subject was laii on the table.

This is all the reverse of fact. ;omeoi the uepmilieans in the House were, indeed, originally opposed to the investigation, foreseeing exactly what has come to pass) that it would be attempted to be made a party question of. and that no good but much waste of time and public money, would result from it. Hut, once heffiin, the very same persons were for seeing out the play; and a comparison ol the yeas and nays upon the question of raising the committee, and the yeas and nays on hying the subject on trie table, will show that four-tifths at least of those who voted to lay the sitfiject on the la'ile were gentlemen by whose votes the House first determined to raise a cotntni'tce o.n it. We do not state this circumstance for the purpose of arraigning them here for inconsistency, but fur the purpose of callin;? the attention of the reader to the fact that nearly all those who voted against laving the reports upon the table, and who desired an early conclusion upon them, are members included under the Government classification as "the Opposition." The whole of the twenty days' struggle, of which the Globe speaks, has been. in i.iei, a Mruggic on uie pari ol ilia origin ators of the investigation to avoid com ing to a direct question by postponing iVc. and of the "Opposition" to prevent delay and postponement, and come to a decision immediately upon the merits of the report oi the select committee. Xj'Thr Globe, the Richmond Inquirer, the Baltimore Republican, and the rest of tie V. B. papers at the Kasl, admit that the Whis have swept the Old Dominion. The Van Hurenius eon5 -ions of the utter darkness of their prospect at the North, have of late been concentrating all their hope?- upon th South: and thev hate raiied espe.allv on t irgnia to mvo tine to the ret of the.

They have prostrated ra country and thereby brought infainv upon themselves; and. although the country vill rise asjain to it former prosperity, no earthly power can ever elevate them form thrir degradation. fe" At the imminent risk of driving the Van Burenites stark mad, we copy the following extract from the last letter of the New York correspondent of the Nationnl Intelligencer. It appears that Mr. Riddh has humbled the Hank of England in a fair contest, although the U. States Government has been tugging at Iiim in the mean time with all its might. He is

equal to the Salt River Roarer, who whippid the showman's elephant and let the jackass kick him during the tight: .(tu. Journal. New York. May S. Our million and a half of dollars in specie left this city this morning, in the Philadelphia 0 o'clock boat for 'Philadelphia, probably to go down the jaws of the Monster. There is a great deal of fog in our money market, here it is yet difficult to ?ee tl'.iough. My opinion is, that the Hank of Knglaml has repented of its quarrel with the Pennsylvania U. S. Han!;, and ordered a portion of its spvcie sent here to be sent to Philadelphia. Rumor says that Mr. Jtudon, the agent of the Pennsylvania Hank, (a bank bankrupt! a bank insolvent! vi.lc (11 .ihr passim. ) was about to draw from the Hank of England the nice sum of 15,000,00;) in specie, when John HtiU's monster concluded it was best to make friends with Brother Jointhan's monster, and thus ihis specie marches V) Philadelphia, with more in its train. This conjecture is confirmed, in part, by the following statement in the London Meriting Chronicle (received last night) of April Oth: "It is said that, apprehensive of the consequences of the misunderstanding with the Hank of the United States, the Directors of the Hank of England have absolutely forfeited the policies of insurance upon a very large amount of money. Taken at the lowest ealeulaticn. at one per cent, we are informed of X ! 5,'0:." The financial policy of this may be seen in the stale of the markets in Europe. It has required all the strength of M r. B.ddlo to keep up the cotton market in Liverpool, in face of the exportation of specie to A uieri ca. 'The first law of Midi an exportation is, that the products of the co-.intry to which the bullion is sent must tall to counteract the effect of the: exportation! Mr. Hiddle has succeeded tolerably well, but the cot

ton is drooping: and, it we insist upon pav in o!d and silver, cotton rice and tobill baeeo. ami slate stocks, must pay the 1 1 in a depreciation. Mr. Biddle's head is a great deal linger than many of ho men's wlx-. in our citv. so often blow him up. He don't want to sacrifice the great staples of the country, or to produce universal pressure and disaster by precipitancy in speeis payments. He o. n't w:::it !o keep gold and silver in:irehi:;g over the ocean and back at every lilt.e t;:r:i in the tide of the. exchanges, or to carl it, specie-circular fashion, ever hill and hillock from Pen Van to Kalamazoo.

It is very e'ear, however, that there Iris heen a quarrel ' t-. een the Pensylvania Bjiik of the U'l ' Mates, and the Hank of England, or the Barings, who are, as it were, the American agents of that institution. The cause of that quarrel, we have already s.,tpd, originated in the jealousr wiut wnion olr.

G , to keep ihcii ments with Mr. Hiddle, as to the amount in which he should be permitted to draw upon them. In cjneq;iencr cf this panic, Mr. Hiddle fully concluded it was w iser for him to take his London business in his own bauds, and for this purpose the mission of Mr. Jaudon as we understand it. was reated. Mr. Jaudon, we all know, was verv coldly receivdil hv the Marines. 1 he Brmk of England refused u keep an ac count with him. and he was tabo ird for a while. He very quietly, however, work ed :n. way, and surprised every hodv, alter a while, by a great operation in which he underdid the ISank ol l.ngl.iml. as hoon lated in this paper. Backed by the im mense rotten naileries, .lr. liuldle was sending him, and having a principal control over lhat great staple he had not much to fear even from the Bank of Enmd, cotton being better than bank paper and quite as serviceable as specie. In this condition of things, the Barings, for the Hank of England, through a house in this city, contracted to send here smii. mild ins sterling in speei which has come, and and only a part, the tier lor the exportation of more having been suspended, by Wellington packet ship, even at the saersheo of about $75,000 insurance on one stock.

Some one hinted that Dexter's ghost was seen at an upper window while the prores-ion slowly moved to the vault, but this passed away, when a load complaint was heard in the kitchen. It was Lord D,:xter caning his wife for not acting her part as she should have done in the ceremony. She had not shed a tear! She should have cried to think it was not reality. Dextor had been so much pleaseJ in his co:nea!niinl, in hearing of his praise, that he entered the wake room with the highest gl-e; shared in the wine, and threw small change from his window to the gaping crowd of boys who hail galhere1'. to witness the lasi solemn scene. There was however, a drawback to his experiment; not a single bell tolled, when he expected the whole of ihem would have sounded a knell for his passing soul. That was not all; not a requiem was sur.g. except, by the wag who performed the funeral services; he gave one that a bacchanalian, had in former times composed for himself lo he sung before his departure.
