Eighteenth paper.— Is one of the lists of subscriptions to corruption fund. Twentieth to thihtt-eighth papers, inclusive, are receipta;'growing out of these transactions; amounting in all to nearly EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS. Among them are receipts of Saunders, Swint, Miller, and Young, who figured in Stevenson's affidavit; and one from Looney of $700 for "pipe laying 11 in This Looney, ia the man who informed Stevenson that he was the first man in Philadelphia who "ever attempted to poll illegal Totes;” that be managed it tor three years before he let any one in the secret; furnished Stevenson with a list of pipe layers which accompany Stevenson’s affidavit—two of whom he said had voted in every ward in New York in 1839.

The following extract is from a letter of a Whig, written at Indianapolis: "Since I.have been here, I have seen the most import ant* of the annual reports in preparation, and am happy to inform you that there will be no great difficulty in adjusting the financial affairs of the Booster-land, In 1830, the rate of taxation was 30 cts; oo the $100. In 1840, the Locos reduced it to 10. 1 -For the ensuing year, less than 45 cts. will be required: and after, that the former rale'of 30 cts. will enable the Whigs to sustain the public faith, and progress moderately with the public works.” The taxes are to be raised for State purposes three times greater than last year, and there will be no difficulty, because the Whigs have a large majority in both branches. The public works will be prosecuted by the Whigs, and the taxes increased.—ladianian.

The Lowell Courier tells of a roan who subscribed for two copies of a newspaper, ‘just to patronise the establishment,’ and never paid for either of them.

Supplement to the Ulobe. Psospccius for the Congressional Globe and Appendix,

The mint of the United States is said to be engaged in coining a new dollar. It is of smaller dimensions than the Spanish dollar, and is altogether belter executed.

These works will be published by us during the approaching session of Congress. They bare bad such a'wide circulation in the United States, and their usefulness and cheapness are so universal!) acknowledged, that we deem it unnecessary to give a detailed account of what the future numbers will contain. Suffice it to say that they will be invaluable to all who feel an interest id the proceedings of Congress. No other publication gives them so full, nor half so cheap. It is, indeed, the cheapest publication in the United Stales—perhaps in the world. Our position at thescatof GorcratneoI enables us to print them at so low a rate. Wo ate compelled to publish the proceedings of Congress in detail, for ourdaily paper. This done.it requires, comparatively, but a small additional expense to change them to the.forma of the Congressional Globe and Appendix. If it Were not for these circumstances, we could not publish them for four limes the sum charged. In some parts of the United States, the white paper, upon which these works are printed, would sell for as much as we charge for the publications. .

TISirtt-hiiith pater —Is a consignment of "pipe layers” from Rhawn alias Bela Badger, who are mentioned in Swint’s receipt, marked paper fifty-first. The receipts of this Charles Swtnt, for $1050, are found among the papers, and are alt alluded to in Stevenson's affidavit as being part of the money taken on by Henry P, Havens, now whig candidate for the assembly. Fiptt-ninth paper, is a letter from Stevenson to Glentworth, urging him by considerations of boner and justice to an exposure of these infamous transactions.. It conclusively refutes the pretence of conspiracy, or of any attempt even by Stevenson to influence Glentworth by improper motives to a disclosure of the truth.

Weleebisms. —"I shine most brilliant in you absence,” a s the star said to the moon. "I am a lamp-AgA/er,” as tbs lamp-post said when (he lamp was removed. “The darker the complexion the brighter the ivory,” as Gumbo said to his lady love.

Indigo— Holders look blue, and we notice a sale where the parties colored up— after this transaction one of them dyed. Oytiers —These opened fair in the morning, hut. about noon were found to go down. Holders who warranted were obliged to thell out. Peru-Held chiefly by ediilors, and other unfortunate devils; transactions mainly on paper, from which nought will ever bo realized. Polilenett —At a premium; found chiefly araong men who owe largely. Some in the hands of swindlers, but not enough to effect the market.

A most destructive fire occurred; about three weeks ago, at Greenfield. It was to that place what the “great fire” in New York a few years ago, was to that city. A tavern three stories, some d we ling houses, and other small buildings were consumed. Many store goods, account hooks, notes,cash, household furniture&c. were destroyed. Loss fifty thousand dollars. A good part of the town north of Maine street was burnt. Insurance on about thirty thousand. The buildings on the opposite side of the street were much injured. ,

Smart Eoa a Lad. — A gentleman who was a short lime since travelling in the stale of Maine, inquired of a little lad, by way of testing the youngster’s knowledge, if ho could tell him what stale he was in.

The streets of Indianapolis, arc lined on each aide with tall buckeye pplcs on which flags arc flapping, as well as on most every home. Main street is also graced with a log cabin. Gov. Bigger has removed to the capital.—He is in good spirits, and looks as well we venture to say, as he ever did. He has taken possession of the “White House” of Indiana.

‘Yes, sir—replied the boy—it oostcr be called Maine, but it ain’t nothing now. ‘Nothing, you say—how can that bel* ‘Why, ’cause it’s stepped out—they say the Stale has gone for Harrison, clean out west; and they don’t expect it back for four years.’

The Indiana Democrat of the 2Ut inst. slates that at the Supremo and District Courts of the United States, then in session at Indianapolis, the trial of \V, Martin, a young man of rather prepossessing appearance, who had been engaged as a stage'driver between Carlisle and Vincennes, came on for abstracting from the mail a letter containing two hundred dollars, directed to Isaac Stewart, of New Albany. When the prisoner was arrested, he attempted to conceal a mail-key, which it is supposed was the means by which he obtained access to the mail, and was obtained by him, on its passage to a Postmaster in the interior of the State, from Louisville. The evidence was principally circumstantial, but of a stronger character. The jury found a verdict ofguilty, and he was sentenced by the Court to imprisonment for ten years. A motion was subsequently made for a new trial; but was overruled by the Court, after some able speeches from the council.

To insure all the numbers, the subscriptions should all be here by tbe 14th of December next at farthest. ■

Remember all! and see that their promises are fulfilled to tho letter.
