Poor monsieur de I. was stung with self reproach, he saw that he had been the tlupe of groundless jealousy, and, embracing Ins wife, asked her forgiveness, and declared that i-e would never again doubt the purity of her conduct.

Thus the wool just from th: sheeps back can be taken to his factory and within a few days icturned home in cloth of any fineness or color, on the most moderate terms. Internal Improvement. On Wednesday last a celebration was to take place at Evansville, bv the few who are anticipating making fortunes at the expanse of the many the friends of a partial and iniquitous system of internal improvements. The governor, and lieutenant governor, and many of the members of the legislature, were invited as guests. Let the high salary and splendid improvement junto, make merry over their partial success achieved last winter, they should bear in mind that the triumph of the speculator, over the farmer and mechanic, is not yet complete and that much depends upon the complexion of the next legislature. Funds must be raised to pay the interest of the loans those funds can only be raised by taxation and the farmer and mechanic will be made to bear the burden. Already all your personal property vour iroods .and chatties are taxed, and the next year, you may expect that your hearths, and your windows will be taxed, as in the times of the good old John Adams. We are friendly to a judicious system of internal improvements. Let us have, if you please three rail roads from the Ohio to the interior say one at Lawreceburgh, one at the falls, and one at Lvansville, by funds raised on the plan the Lawrenceburghers are pursuing.

drafts at liurlv u;ns date, payable either in Siallimorc, Philadelphia, nr New 1 ork, at par nd further, that no bank note, after the first lay of July next, be received, of a less de nomination than ten dollars. v e wonder vhcther like orders have been issued to all the land offices and pet institutions of the west, or if this is meant as a special mark of favor to Ohio. If Reuben M. Whitney and the kitchen, have had influence enough to make this a Gen eral order to the west, then the brokers, affi liated with this meritorious company, will have a glorious harvest, in changing this kind of paper for drafts on the eastern cities which they can meet by the purchase of United States bank notes the only notes which will then have any currency in the western country, which mr. Cambreleng is so earnestly trying to deprecate. N. Y. Daily Adv. The money market in New York is in a state of unexampled embarrassment and pressure. Three per eent. a month, acoording to the Star, is a common rate of discount for the best commercial paper. Exchanges, instead of being at the rate of 1S31, and previous, have advanced to prices which are ruinous. At Cincinnati, drafts on New York have been sold at a premium at six per cent. At New Orleans at premiums of from three to five per ccr.t. Corresponding prices are charged at va rious points through the western and southern country. And all this, too, with forty millions of dollars, lying idle in the treasury. The govern ment is absorbing all the money of the coun try. Every thing is passing into the widening Alaelstroon ol the treasury banks. In the meantime, the bank of the United States, heretofore the only efficient source of succor in times of commercial embarrassment, is forced to look to her own safety and to close her ears to the distresses of the community. Compelled to provide for the redemption of tier own circulation and to protect herself a gainst the mad furr of the government, she can no longer extend a helping hand to the country. Such is the result of the wise and paternal policy of the executive. Mail Robbery. The assistant nost-mas ter at Columbia, South Carolina, and one of abstracting money from the mails. They were held to bail in the sum of $15,000 each. The King's Speech.

A dreadful catastrophe occurred at Laha man's theatrical booth, in St. Petersburg, on Sunday the 14lh of February. A beam took lire from a lamp, during the performance, when the building was soon enveloped in flames. The greater part of the audience in the boxes effected their escape without injury, but those in the pit crowded into the narrow passage, which was soon blocked up, when the roof fell, and covered them with tire brands; of above four hundred persons, who were in the booth, one hundred and twenty-one males and live females perished, and about ten more were severely injured. The emperor himself assisted at the tire. A princess ox fire. Between 12 and one o'clock at noon of Friday last, the inmates of that portion of Kensington Palace apportioned as the residence of her royal highness the princess Sophia, were thrown into a state of great consternation and alarm, by loud cries of "lire! lire!" which, on examination, were found to proceed from the suite of rooms occupied by her royal highness; and on mr. Har rington, one of her pages, and mrs. Cockran, her dresser, proceeding to the dressing room, they discovered her enveloped in flames. Her royal highness, with extraordinary presence of mind, called to them not to be alarmed, but to renderher assistance. Other members of the household arriving, the flames were by their aid soon extinguished. Her royal highness's medical aid was immediately summoned, and we are happy to say that, on examination, it was found that her royal highness was but slightly burned on the right side of the neck, her right ear and eyebrow. The accident, which but for the great presence of mind exhibited by her royal highness might have proved fatal, was occasioned by a spark which flew out of the fire at the moment the princess was passing the fire place, carrying in her hand a bottle of spirits of wine, the stopper of which, in her endeavor to extinguish a small portion of herdress which had ignited , fell out. A considerable portion of the liquid thus came in contact with the flame, which soon envelop ed the princess. She remains considerably indisposed from the fright and effects of the

burns, and it wns reported last evening in the

i.i igliborhood of the palace that she was con-

siderable worse yesterday Incredible as it may appear, we have now in New York more foreigners than are to be found in the whole of the Southern States. In the summer of 1830 there were in the state of New York forty-eight thousand and some odd hundreds more aliens than were contained in Virgina, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Missouri, and the territory of Florida.

Celebrated Trials. AND CASES OF CRIMINAL JURISPRUDENCE. OF ALL AGES AND COUNTRIES, FROM THE EARLIEST RECORD. Selected by a member of th Philadelphia bar. TREASON, ROBBERY, LIBEL, SEDITION, MUTINY, MURDER, WITCHERY, HERESY, PIRACY, FORGERY, &C. $C. &C. These remarkable and deeply interesting Iri

alshave been collected from all the best sour ces which the public and private libraries of this country afford, i he numbers will em brace many recent cases lurnished exclusively by the London Anual Register, and recourse has been had occasionally to manuscripts where printed documents could not be procured. It is believed that the collection supplies a striking deficiency in the library of the lawyer, physician, and general reader. Much care and attention has been exercised in the com pilation, to make rt not only acceptable but a necessary adjunct to the books already acces sible, and the reader is confidently referred to the case mentioned below for the evidence of the variety and value of the materials. To members of the bar the publisher need hardly recommend it, as they must know its worth, but to the general reader, who may be misled as to its character, the publisher assures them that it will be found, when comple ted, a volume ol the most intense and exciting interest. One singular and alarming fact presents itself in the murder cases, and it is that so many should die protesting their innocence. Is it to be believed, that upon the verge of eter nity they could so loudly proclaim that which they know to be false, when not a hope of es cape is held out to them? 1 he "ci cumstantial evidence cases of which there are five, would make us think otherwise. It is a subject that may well make one ponder upon the law which demands hie lor life. The publication will commence in July next. It will be published in monthly numbers, containing 120 pages each, printed on fine white paper ol the size of the Marryatt novels, and will be completed in five months, or sooner, at the option of the publisher making a volume of 000 closely printed octavo pages. The numbers will be sent by mail to any part of the Union, carefully packed. Terms .$"2 for the complete work, cr three copies for live dollars. It is worthy of remark, that a similar work is published in London at about 75 cents a number, and contains only 78 small duodecimo pages. This edition will cost 40 cents a number, and contains 120 iarge octavo pages. Address. L. A. GODEY. 100 Walnut street, Philadelphia PROSPECTUS OF THE LOUISVILLE P21ICE Cl'RRE'T AND Commercial Advertiser. ENLARGED AND MUCH IMPROVED fSTIIE proprietress of this paper, Mrs. J. V. il Palmer, takes this opportunitv of presenting her grateful acknowledgements, for the patronage she baa hithtt't received from a generous public, which hns allltrded to herself and fa die r less children a comfortable suppoit. The Price Current was commenced by the deceased bus band J. W. Palmer, about five years ago; it was at tirst printed on a small sheet, and consequentcould then contain bet little more than the pricecurrent, orio quotations irom the principal markets ot" the United States. It was enlarged in the same year to its present size since which lime, selected miscellaneous pieces fioni populai periodicals and papers have been inserted in its columns. &'lie now designs to enlarge the paper as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made, to an extra-imperial sheet. Anew presand type will be immediately procured and no pains will be spared by herself or by Thomas i lewson, the gentleman employed as Editor, to rendei the Price Current worthy of a continuance ol their support. The commercial and domestic interests of Lou isville will be especially attended to: means will be put in requisition to obtain the earliest infor mation of commercial interest from all the prin cipal cities of the Union, and a direct coriesnon deuce with London and Liverpool in England, arm uuuim ut Ireland, will oe immediately enter ed inte. The best political ar.d literary journals not already received, shall be procured and whilst the columns of the Price Current shall re main free from political controversy, all intcrestit.g matter of a general political nature shall be inserted, and literature and mechanical inform ition and improvements shall meet with that atten lion the importance of their claims demands. In a word a far as their abilities will permit, :he nro prietress and editor of the Price Current desi-n to make it a useful commercial reference to ciiv and country merchants, manufactures, mechanics. end farmers; and a pleasing fire side companion to lamuies ana persons ot leisure.
