Al the Circuit Court now in session in Lawrenceville, Illinois, a woman named Reed, was sentenced to be hung on the 23d of May, for poisoning her husband. FiiiKs. We have recently seen more sreounts of fires, snd larger ones too, than we ever recollect having seen in the same short pace of time in our lifetime. Newark, N. J. Baltimore, Md.

President Polk has had a couple of Arabian hores sent to him as a present They wrp K?ld at public auction.

Iowa Constitution lih.jEcn.D. We learn from the St. Loui3 Re-pub ican, that the returns of the elections recently held in Iowa, strongly indicate the rejection of the Constitution of ihe S:te by n considerable majority. Another nlaa is proposed, that the Legisla'ure just elected, and which meets in May ensuing, shall adopt measures for ihe caTng cf a new convenlion to devise another Constitution which will bo acceplible to Congress, the Missouri river to be the western boundary, and a limit adopted on the north which shall exclude Dubuque. Clayton, Delaware, and oilier counties from the proposed state. It is further proposed that the excluded counties form another territory, t be called the territory of Washing'on. Trie boundaries of Iowa will thus bo so much reduced, that Congress can have no objection on that score.

Rflief. A s far as we have as yet learned, Cincinnati has raised .$0,3 2'.) 75 for the relief of the Pittsburgh sufferers S5.00 ) in Louisvil.Le, and making further collections $", 00 ) in Baltimore, sent through her Council, in anticipation ol contemplated collections. In addition to die above, the Legislature of Pennsylvania has unanimously passed a bill for the relief of the Pittsburgh sufferers, appropriating$50,000 out of the State Treasury, suspends the cancellation of relief notes, releases the stale and county texas for the 'resent year, and the years 1816. '17 and 'IS, and remits the license taxed upon dealers in merchandise, whose establishments have been burnt. We have no doubt but that Philadelphia. Xew York, Boston, in fact all the principal cities in the Union will follow soil in the good work, as well as many of the smaller towns. We per ceive that a call has been made in Indianapolis and other places in this state for the same praiseworthy object, and why cannot Yincennes do something in that wa v ? W hat say you to tho cad of a meeting? War with Englad. Tho last Xew York Hen. Id contained the views of the British press in relation to President Polk's Inaugural. The reviewing Journals aie the London Times, London Post. London Chronicle, London Clobe, and Liverpool Mail. The way they pour it into little Jimmy about the annexation of Texas, and the right of possession to Oregon, is not slow. Indeed, they manifest strong symptoms of fight, but we think it rather questionable whether their mettle is ol the true sort or not. The articles are entirely too elaborate for our columns. Hereafter, we mav make extracts. What in the name of common sense, does Bennet of the Herald mean, in calling our Government Sllleghtny, after the fashion of the English Journalists. Surely, he cannot be ashamed of "Uncle Sam,' or rightly interpreted, the United Slates, the very mention of which is enough to shake the courage of any Red Coat in Britain. Out upon yoj man! Don't let a few British braggadocios whine you out of a name bought with our best blood, but cling with an undying pertinacity io the blessed United Slates of America, or the .Jtneriem Government. It's goxl enough for us. We want nothing better. LovGr.vrrv. Mr. John Hightower, an old soldier of the Revolution, died a fewweeks ago, iii Marengo county. Alabama, at the extreme of old age of I2G years. Trial of Polly Bodine. This trial which has occupied so much tune, and which doring irs pendency, caused an unusual degree of excitement, was brought to n c!oe on Saturkay the 12th uft.. the resuh of which was a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree, with a recommendation to mercy. It is the genera! opinion that the sentence will be commuted to imprisonment for life. There is sai l to be in the Reading.

Meetings for the raising of funds for the sufferers by the late Pittsburgh fire, are being held in all the principal cities, and from the liberal benevolence manifested thus far, we should judge that a great deal of extreme suffering will he relieved. Mysterious Ights. Information is now conveyed between Baltimore, Xew York and Philadelphia, by signal lights. Blue, pale yellow and crimson are the colors used by which to designate certain meaning. Of course, none understand, except those initiated. - The music-lovers of the east appe?.r to be divided at present between the merits of the two newly invented attachments to the piano forte. The inventors are Coleman and Walker. The preference appears to be awarded to Mr. Walker's, because of its producing a greater variety of tones, and thereby adding more to the capacity of the instrument, but a combination of the two would render the piano ihe most enchanting of all instrumental music. Acccratk Scales. The Bank of Eng land has scales for the weighing of Sov. ereifns, which are now so accurate that the difference of the 10,030:h part of a grain can be detected. Good Luck. Fanny Wright hn lately had left to her, by a deceased uncle in Scotland, a property worth Si 00,000. A handsome legacy rmw-a-days.

I Godsv's Maoazine and Lady's Book. I We have received the May number ofi this truly excellent Magazine of Litera-' ilure. The plates, "Charles . the 1st taking

jieaveof his children previous to his Execution,' and 'The Recruit, with a View .of the Encampment at Monmouth, XT. J.,j 1777,' aro truly beautiful. This number contains articles by Petunia Moise. il . B. Wallis, Mis Leslie. Mrs. II. Seely Totten. Mary E, Lee, J. F. Ohs, A. Fleming, F. J. Grund, John C. M'Cabe, Theodore Ledy ard Cuy ler, ' The Poor Scholar,' Ellen Matthews, D. E. Wilson, Miss II. F. Gould, Music by A. II. Coon, ami a variety of other very interesting matter. Mr. Godey has taken out a copy righ' lor his Magazine. The reasons assigned for this are perfectly satisfactory to every one who is desirous of encouraging genius and in 1 istry. The Lady's Book is gotten up at enormous expanse to its publisher, who pays a high price for its contributions; which, before he procured a copy right, were taken from it by ihe daily and weekly papers of the city, and circulated before it con It' reach ail its subscribers. And in this state of things, a person could get the cream of its contents without -sub-scriUing for it, through the penny papers. Now we say Mr. Godey ought to be allowed to reqp the first fruits of hii"sbor at L ast. Let those who desire to read the matter of the Lady's Book, pay the trifle it costs to ihe proper person. Tiik Columbian Magazine for May is received, and we can say in truth lhat it maintains all its reputation, and is rapidly advancing in popular favor. The present number is richly embellished with three engraving5", 'The Wedding,' 'The Idle Servant,' ami a splendid Fashion Plate for May. Among the contributors are found Mrs. Sigourney, Mrs. Osgood, TV- S. Arthur, and John Inman, who are so universally acknowledged to be the best writers of America, that their names are a sufficient recommendation tD ihe work. - Ths Politician. This is the title of a very able and spirited Whig paper, published ;t Nashville, Tenn., edited by Allen A. Hall, the first two numht.j of which we have received. It bi.h fair to do a great deal of good in the neighborhood of ihe 'Hermitage.' and to become a leading Journal in the Whig ranks. We recommend it to Whigs and Democrats, as it promises to show botii sides o( the question. Specimens may be seen at this office. Indian Cultivator. We have received the first number f an agricultural paper, issued from the office of the Evansville Courier, bearing thh title. This is the third agricultural paper published in Indiana, and if the 10:h, it would not he unneeded, if properly conducted. We wirdi it great success. "fCorf esponderice of the Yincennes tiaat-tic. Evansville, Ia.. April 18ih, 1815. Lravinx Yincennes; () the road; Princeton; Farms and farm houses; Bed ftlloirs; Private hacks; Evansviile; 'Fhe speckled hat; Ilffl ctinns. Mr. Editor: I left the ancient city of Yincennes. jut as the church bell was oienily ringing the hour of noon, in a privaie hack, on my way e-l. A3 we i ussed over the hill, br-ck of the town, I cul not help h-o'viiig back, to take a g'ance at the place I was leaving and in which I had left many dear friend3, whose kindness I shall ever remember with feelings of trratitude and I al-o reflected, that, go w here I would, I might indeed find a greater number, but none whom I could ever value more. Soon we descended the hill, and Vineennej wa hid fiom my view, for a time, the definite length of which, I I cannot even yet, determine. I will not trouble you with my reflections as I receded from home, for the) wetesad in spite of myself. They should have been oilier w i s e ; but attachments besides those ol family, spring up m ihe heart which cannot be severed with impunity at least by me as so many packthreads, no mere wantonness. Until we got within a short distance of Princeton, the farms were only a continuation of Knox county farming in the general. The houses w ere generally of log?, with chimneys of the 6sme, run up on the outside, as if their owners thought it would never rain fences from four to six rails high, seldom higher cows, hogs, poultry and children all occupying the same yard seldom any barns now and then a stable, and thai without doo two rails crossing each other serving as a barrier against egress from wilhm, and ingress from without. I saw nothing I dare call an orchard, until some distance beyond White river never a plum or pear, and but few peach trees. 1 saw large quantities of hogs, and the farmers were busy getting ready to plough corn, so as to have plenty of the uliima thulc of iheir wishes, 'hog and hominy.' Towards night, however, things began to look better. Now and then a neat frame, and then a brick houe like oasises in the desert, greeted my eyesight, with large wheat fields, and apple and peach orchards, which gave indication of industry and intelligence, as well as a desiro for the improvement of their property. Just at dusk, I arrived at the residence of Mr. Wetherspoon. three miles beyond Princeton, who being a brother of the man whose hack carried me, we of course stopped there for the night. He lias a good farm, nnd in anoearnnce, it looks as if well cultivated. A good supper was soon prepared but not feeling 'i' the vein,' I partook but sparingly, and soon after retired to rest. In the imrning, 17th inst about four o'clock, I was awoke by a loud clap of

thunder, and looking out, I found it was raining tremendously and so it continued until daylight, which gave much satisfaction to the people, as it had been a long linu siuce ihey had any rain, the ground

having become very dry from the drought,

Just at sunrise the clouds dispersed, wnen'not a few, "from the regions round about

I loak a stick in my hand, and set out for Princeton; and a beautiful tramp I had oi it, to use a figure. The walking was as slippery as if the chy had been greased instead of rained upon,.. Frequently I was put in mind of the school-boy's excuse, who, when upbraided by his teacher for being so late at school, excused himself by sav ing it was so slippery that whenever he took one step forward, he went tico backward. 'How then.' say the teacher 'did you get here at allP 'Why,' replied the urchin, 'I turned round and went ihe other way.' So it was with me. I waa several times upon the point of stopping, or trying tiie witty scholar's pLn. However, after having been brought to my knees once or twice, and taking one fair tumble down the bank, caused by my heels obstinately refusing any longer to maintain their pendulous position, but in continually flying up. carried their whole attachments down the bank into tho ditch, where all the members of the 'body corporate' msde a considerable number of indefinable iiiiuks in the mud, before all were composed in order again, ready for going ahead in harmony. Al length I reached Princeton, and I own. I was 6omevhat disappointed in its appearance. It is both larger and has finer buildings than I antic patrd. The people appear sociable, kind an I attentive to strangers. Judge Hall, formerly Lieutenant Governor of the Slate, to whom I had letters of introduction, was very kind, and gave me every inhumation 1 desired. Finding; it impossible to transact the business 1 Imd to do there, so thoroughly as I desired, from various causes, 1 concluded to leave the balance until my return; and at l-2 o'clock, 1 was again upon my way. The country improves very materially in point of cultivation and buildings, as you go on towards Evansville. It is much better tilled than on the other side of Princeton, but ihe country is too broken t o suit my fancy. It was up one hill and down another continually . 1 prefer a rolling country to any other and I believe it is allowed to be the best f r grain. 1 saw some wheat that was on an averageover the field "J l-"! feet high, and looked of a good healthy Color. That night I slaved at a house 12 miles out of Evansviile, where 1 was annoyed all night by a host of bed fellows I had half a notion. ?-s they seemed by their vigorous assaults upon me. to claim a prior right to tiie premises, to yield them quiet possession, but I maintained my post untd daylight, when ihey beat a retreat, and left me to go to sleep in 'the arms of victory.' About 12 o'clock, on the 18th, I reached Evansville. I was very much surprised at the improvements lhat hal taken place, since 1 iasi wis here. Indeed, it is quite a town, the h)iies are large, and some, yea, many of them splendid. The private dwellings are neat, and surrounded with beautiful yards ami tastefully arranged gardens, presenting the appearance of much comfort combined with elegance of design. In the business part of ihe tow n, all appears lively; and 1 was informed by a mhrchant, that there had been a lage increase in ihe mercantile branches of business this year, over any former on?. 1 had a letter to the "intelligent editor of the Evansviile Journal, the man with the speckled hat," which I delivered, and wa agreeably entertained, but my haste would not allow me io cultivate his acquaintance as much as I could have wished. 1 must close this hasty letter, as a steamboat is approaching ihe landing, and i musl take passage for St. Louis upon her, from whence 1 will write you jigam. SN. II. Correspondence of the Vincennes Gazette. St. Louis, April '22, S4b. Departure from Evansville. i7ie Fiver Passengers on JJeck Episode Passengers in Cabin Refections Mississippi river Effects of the fiord of 1841, $c. Mr. Editor: My last, dated from Evansville, 1 closed hastily, under the plea that a steam boat was approaching the landing, and I was anxious to take passage upon her, should she be bound for this place. I hastily parted w'uh 'the speckled hat man' and arrived at the landing as the White Cloud' hove too, bound for St. Louis. All right, says I, and proceeded immediately on board, and in a few minutes after, we were steaming it at a rapid rite down 'La Belle rivierre.' The ex I'itement of getting under way being over, I proceeded to the office, to ascertain the 'whereabouts' of my lodgings, but alas! We can nve you a cot on the flxr, and that is the best we can do. There is an average of six to a berth already.' says the clerk. 'What can't be cured must be endured,' contains a good deal of philosophical truth; so I took the matter 'coolly' as Jacob Faithful would, no doubt. have recommended tinder the circumstances, content to do the best 1 could. It was dark by this time, so I can tell you nothing of paaed towns, &c, from Evansville to the Rock and Cave, where we were, when stepped out upon the guard of the boar, a litde after day lightI could see no important improvement that had taken place along the river since I was last upon it. The sh res the houses, the timber upon the banks, wood yards and wood boats, all looked very natural, and appeared to have undergone but Imle change during the last five years. Soon after dinner I took a general survey of our

living cargo on deck, aud truly it was unique: There were Irishmen, fresh from the 'Green Isle of the Ocean' Dutchmen from the Fens of Holland Germans

from dcr fathcritndt Yankees from the land of notions and wooden nutmegs, and the' West, who were seeking a new home still far liter towards sundown. All, foreigners and natives, were looking forward to the-Siate of Missouri and Iowa as an Ef Dorado, where they expected to find happiness, peace, and plenty. I hope they may not ba disappointed; and that they will never have cause to wish, in anguish, they were at the 'old homestead' where the happy hours of childhood were pissed, 'free from anxious care and thought' that will certainly beset them in the outset of their career, in their new homes. As I was about leaving the deck. I was accosted by a fine looking 'son of the sod.' 'An aint you an Irishman,' said he, 'yer name is Irish intirely, sure. 'Xo,' says I, 'am not an Irishman, but I am tiie grand son cf one.' 'Ah,' said he, turning io another, 'didn't I tell ye so. Well,' continued he turning to me, 'yero as guid as one. for ye did not deity yerfaather. Sure, no:v fdih. hav'nt I herd many since I came to Ameriky, deny the faather that begat thim. Give me yer ban. and tell me wher yer faather came from.' I gave the honest fellow my hand, and also the desired information. 'Grammachree! an dont I know many of yer name there, now! yes faith, an thru men they tire too, every inch of thim.' After promising to come down an I see him agin, 1 got away, and aseendrd to the cabin to take a survey of the worthies, there. 1 am an inquisitive sort of a disciple, and before night, 1 hud managed to obtain, as far as it was possible toobtian it, a prettycorrect idea of the majority. As upon deck, there were natives of almost all nations and their characters and their pursuits, were as various as their origin, Merchants, Lawyers. Doctors, Collectors, (I pity ihe two Iasi) Farmers, &c, mads up the majority of the number. Some were returning home some in quest of one a few without any definite object, were desirous of viewing the Weft. Good feeling prevailed among all; some endeavoring io pass off ihe time in'reading there you might see one "taking notes, an' faith he'll print them,' perhaps! A few, and I am g'ad to se it was such a few among so many, drove 'dull cere away,' around the card table. There was a bar on board, but with the exception f a few from ihe deck, 1 presume the retailer of the devil's small artillery found ii but a poor business. 1 was led to reflect by observing the temperance observed by the passengers, on the difference between the customs now and what they were as late a twelve years ago. Then a bar on board a good boat was the stepping stone to a liti.'e fortune; and many do 1 know, who, from that station, rose to ba owners and masters of boats accumulated property on shore, and were respectable in ihe world's eye. Xow, not one passenger in ten drinks a single glass; and many boats carry no bar on board; but in place thereof ihey have a variety of refreshments and confectionary. It is to be h ped that every steam boat owner wili soon see the benefits of such a plan and aJopt it. The most effectual plan io bring such a state of things about, would be for the Insurance Companies io charge a heavy additional per cent, upon the pollc es of those boats who carry liquor shops on board. 'Touch a man's purse and you touch his feelings,' is a pretty correct saying about these times, and would have the effect desired, I have no doubt. But to the trip. The Mississippi river is more difficult of navigation now than it ever was. The great freshet last year, has made bars and islands where formerly the channel of the river ran, and ma le a channel, w here, prior to the flood, was sand hills and bar9. The damage done to the river bottoms, in many placen. will never be remedied; others are slowly recovering from the overflow. I saw, where houses used to stand, in my recllection; and when I enquired where they nmc were, the answer invariably .-'as 'swept away by the flood.' All along the shore the fields that were formerly in n high stale of cultivation, are now covered several feet deep with pure eand, rendering cultivation out of the question, for sges to come, if ever. One fair orchard, I remarked, that had a bank of sand extending the whole length, and nearly the whole width of it, high up in the tree lops, some trees of a smaller size were hardly to be seen af all. In my next I will give you a glimpse at this great city. YTours, &c, S. X. H. Kanawha Salt Works. It has been known io the public for some two years, that some extensive salt furnaces in the Kanawha salt region, have been operated exclusively by Gas. The Gas forcing up the water from the depth of a thousand to fifteen hundred feet, and then being collected in a barrel which serves as a gasometer, it h conveyed by a pipe to the furnace, furnishing all the heat necessary to carry on, at the samelime, all the processes of the manufacture of salt to its cornpletion.in an establishment capable of making a hundred barre's in a day and al night brilliantly lighting up the whole works thus saving the expense of a steam engine to pump up the water all the fuel arvJ lights. Last week in deepening one of the wells of Messrs Dickenson indShrewsbury. the auger struck a stream of Gas, at the depth of one thousand feet, that in quantity and force, far surpasses any thing of the kind heretofore discovered here, or, perhaps in the world. The auger was pressed up with iuch force, as almost to overcome

the exertions of ihe workmen to hold it down, while they could unscrew tho detachments. The way being oleared, the Gas having full play, eent a column of water one hundred feet, (and if tubed, would no doubt raise it to double that distance,) occasionally discharging stone from the size of a musket ball io that of a hen's egg, almost wilh the force of gtapo shot from piece of ordnance. When we were ihere, on Tuesday last, !l hands were engaged in activ etfort to get down a plug to check the force of the Gas, eoas to enable them to insert the tube. They have, we learn, partially suo ceeded, and in-a few days, both the Us.s and water will be turned to good ocoount. Serioue apprehension wer very justly entertained of the destruction of the furnaces, in ihe immediate neighborhood, es well as, of the residence of Mr. Wta. Pompkin's should this immense body of Gas tako fire, which, it was thought, might occur from a steamboat passing on the river, so extensively was it diffused in the atmosphere. A strong guard is kept up night and day to prevent such a, catastrophe. On Saturday, tho third well from ihe one we are speaking of, tock fire, and with ihe most active exertions, was not exiingni.-hed till considerable damage was done to the works. That our readers may hare soma Idea of the extent of nature's labratory or Gas manufactory on the Kanswha, we will say, that Gas enough issues from this single well to light all the cities in tha United States, and we think, we might safely throw in London, Paris, St. Patcrsburgh and a half dozen other bigoitie? of Europe. Some entertain fears that both the Gas and the salt water will shortly tail, but we incline to the opinion that the upper stratum, the outskirts, the suburbs only, of the treasures of Silt and Gas, a well es many a subtsranean wonder are just now being reached. Xo matter whose dominions down there, may be encroached upon, whether those of Pluto or EjIus, our enterprising salt manufacturers are as determined to ex plore them, annex them, reveal in their places as tho annexiionists are by-and-by to reveal in the Halls of the Montezumas. Kanawha Republican. Knock Dow n Ar.u.mf.nts. Gentlemen, of the Jury, said a western attorney, 1 ur satified of your integrity and sense of justice, nd so ar my client, and I respect your honest, so much, lhat if I were s rich as J;teob Astoria, I scorn to influence you in any manner possible, without no attention of woundin your feelins', which, are no doubt as tender as barked shins lhat if your verdicks ar in favor of my client, it ar my settled intention to take you to the doggery for a drink twice round, the judge and constable included, but if you are dead to the voi?e o' law and hor, or, just as soon as the (1'ourt hs adjourned, we mean to lick you like thunder. A Qceer Party. A paper published at Akron, Ohio, states that some lime incs a party of gentlemen and their indite, from thai village, visited a place of refred -mem near Middle burgh, where they pa sed a short time, snd after they drpaaed, a boy about the house, who bed occasion to enter the room several limes during their stay, remarked that 'they were the queerest gals he ever seed, cause when there were chairs enough in the room for them to sit on. the tarnal critters would sit on the boys' laps.' Joseph Bonaparte's Will. The Neir York Courier des Etats Urns says: 'Among the passengers in the Great Western w notice the name of Mr. Maillers. one of the executors of Joseph Bonaparte's will. Mr. M. was formerly an officer attached to the staff of King Joseph, nnd has exhibited the excellency of his heart by the constancy of his attachment to that house. He will proceed from Xew York to Bordentown, New Jersey, where King Jo seph left a magnificent properly, which he has bequeathed to his grandson, the Prince Lusignmo, son of the Prinze of Canino, who is the son of Lncien. The intention of the family heir has been to preserve this estate, which was a favorite residence of King Joseph. The Memphis, Tenn., Ealo won't announce any candidate for a less fee than So. '
