The great duke of Malboronsrh, pass ing the pate of the Tower, wa9 accusled hy an ill look in fclldw, wi;h, "How do you Ho, my lord duke! I believe your grace and I have now been in every isil in the kingdom." 'l believe,

Health and happiness to every. one of yoB." Teats fell from the eyes of the fa;nale9; the men sat still in sad medit ition; and there was r.o relief from ti e general depression, but in the speedy dispersion of the company." The followi-g relates to men only les
eminent thaa Washington. In the word? of
the mtrraior: "Two or three days after the British evacuated the city, I accompanied m) neighbor, Samuel Poo-el, up the Gcrmantown road, to iee a fine cow, which was then a very valuable possession. As we passed a long 'There, laid Mr- Fowel, 'there are the ruins of John Dickson"- house, harut by the British; and look there stands Thomson' untouched. It reminds me of some people who think a man not worth caring for, ur.ti; he is wicked enough to deserve to be dam ed.'" The story was told to Mr. Thomson, wht remarked that there was truth in the application of Mr. Powel'i thought. "For the officer who commanded about here an Irishnan -and who probably permitted the burning of Dickson's house, was often asked why they did not burn Thomson's. Who is this Tompson? said he; what is he! Why, he is the Secretary of the Rebel Congress. Don't you know him! Oh, well replied the Colenel let hii house alone. Probably he betines he that he is tight.
NEW FASHIONED CALASH
Mr. Printer Mr wife's coat of arms is com

A boy belonging to one of the 6hips cf war at Portsmouth, bad porchased of his play fellows a magpie, which he carried to his father's house and was at the door feeding it, whn a gentle man in the neighborhood, who had an impedi. merit in his speech, coming up, T T T Tom," said the gentleman, "can your Mg t
t talk yet." -Ay , sir," says the boy, "better
than you, or I'd wring bis head off." Cajfrariaa punishment of Conjurors- When the Cafrers wish anything done supernatsirally,
uch as an immediate fall of rain, they apply to conjuror for his assistence. It would appear,
however that his profession is tather a ticklish
one to practice inCaffraria; for, if his power
fail, he is expelled the community as a useless
member if he succeeds, be is put to death for
having a compact with the devil. Ameritan Xanketm.k sample of this arti
de has been shown to us. made of the nankeen colored cotton, raised in Georgia, on the estate of senator Forsyth. It is sold at $3 the piece, and is finer than the India nankeen ordinarily worn; still finer samples are intended to be manufactured. It diffeis advantageously from
the India in the important particular of not fa. dim from wear. On the contrary, a ample

Alexandria, attended by acommtl'ce of the cor John Butties,
poratioo of that place.
The circumstances of his death are reported
thus: He had gone to Alexandria to visit a
friend on Sunday; he passed the evening at his friend's house, and left it, in the midst of the
storm then raging, to go to the wharf, with a
view to take uassaee on board the mail bnat
Sydney, which leaves Alexandria at about 9 o' clock, P. M, for the city. He was attended by a servant, who left him when he had shown him in sight of the wharf. This was the lasl seen or heard of him uutil his body was found on Moaday afternoon. It is beyond a donbt that he walked into the slip, and struck his head in falling, or he would have saved himself, being an expert swimmer.
This melancholy occurrence cast a gloom yesterday over all Congress. Its fatality, independently of tbe merits of the deceased, pro dured a deep sensation. By those who knew him, his death is doubly grieved, his character for talents and integrity being embellished hy the most endearing personal qualities. His funeral took place from the eapitol yesterday afternoon, and was attended by all Congress, both houses having adjourned as sooc as hi death was announced yesterday.

Delare Gazette
Public Landt. The subject of federal lands has been before the senate, ia different forms, since Saturday last, and is now under discussion on Mr. Clay's bill to distribute the proceeds among fhe states. It was previously discussed on a bill to grant to Missouri, Mississippi, and Louisiana 500,000 acres each
for internal improvement, similar to a bill which had already granted Ohio 900,000 acres for that object, and Indiana, Illinois, and Alabama, 4 or 600.000 each. The bill to mke the grunt to Missouri, &c. was ordered to a third reading, but, on Monday, when ta ken up for a third reading a most violent opposition was made to it by Mr. Clay, Mr. Foot, aud some others, and finally it was laid n the table. On yesterday Mr. Clay's own
bill was taken up. and he occupied three
hours in sustaining thu views of his report,
prt-tntitig agaiusl any reduction whatever of
the pi ice of any part of the lands, not even
the refuse which had been any uutnber uf
years m market, and msuting on beeping np the present price and dividing all the tioney among the states. Jo6.
