JOSHUA KIIUEHTS. ,4n extraordinary ease of Jtlmmatism, areompanied uiith JJiarrlur-a and Xerruus Debility, Mr. Joseph Hart, from being exposed to cold, wns allocked with most painful Rheumatic complaint of the held, and neck, which eoiillnued whh distressing violence for several months. The principal symptoms were a swelling and exrruclalltig pnln In a'l the Joints, and an entire loss of their use; both the pain and the fever generally Buffered an Increase In the evening. The pains were Inrteased on the slightest icolloii, and war more aev-era In Hie night time. A constant dlurrhun, whirl! produced Its general eonaeqnenres llatiilenry, lownrea of spirits, and general wasting of the hotly. He was Indeed ao extremely III that his medical attendant could not possibly bIvoIIii least hopes of Ills re-ovary, and 11 wni generally believed hy hla rclntlves and friends Hint all tha medicines or treatment In lids world rould not glvs hint any relief. Hut Bering an advertisement on Hunt's Uolanle fills, he waa directed by an Altulgliiy Providence lo use tiiem ; tn did so, and after a fortnight they produced a fnvorabla change, and he is now a heallhy and atroug man. JOSEPH HART. Jin interesting titer nf Lownen nf Spirits, with a violent Spasmodic Jljfcclion, Mr. Froncli Caldwell wnl afflicted for icveral years wllh eg. trcme debility, together Willi a train of symptoms goucrnlly termed nervous affections, nnd which, perhaps, it would ho itn-possible for the pen of the moil learned physlciuni to deicrilic. In thli case the spasms f o the stomnch were so frequent and cicrurin. ting aa nenrly lo deprive him of reason, pnlna in the limbs, ex. tending even to the finger! and toes, thitulcuce, skknesi at tlio stomnctl, and a general agitation of the whole eystem, Insomuch that a common incident rendered the mind timid Btitl apprehensive. In order to remove these distressing symptoms, and testore the constitution to lie former energy, large portion of tnedlrnl skill bad been exhausted without any advantage; change of air, and other remetliea wcro also unavailing, and the tnliid ami body appeared to lie devoted lo n tutl.less disease, lo tills liopelciiand languid situation, Mr. Cnhiwel was terommended lo make trial of Hunt'! nmanie Pllli, the effects of which were visible In a few daya, and by a conllnunticn of the in dlclne (according to direction!,) bla strength heenmo completely restored, and a sound stale of health most happily eilntiitihed. FRANCIS CALDWELL. Consumption Cured. Mr. Edward Russell, wns, in lest Decemlicr, suddenly leiicd with cold ehiveriugs, which were succeeded by pitini in every pirtofthc body. The pnlne continued severe until the lionlri ofMny.wlien lie begun to spit blood, this was shortly after sue. reeded hy a hacking rough, awelllng and pnln in tho chest, nnd tlie dlscliiirgo of blood from the mouth became considerable; these symptoms, which are so often Hie mcssengcre of sudden death, were. In tlio coune of a few weeks, followed hy thick viscid suppuration, mingled witlt blood. This circumstance appeared to give him a temporary relief, as tlie cough became lesa troublesome, and the nppnllte increased. Tlie discharge of pus incrcas ed.and tlie body wbbso wnsted ns to nssiime all the upiiearaucei of one who lingers In tho lust stage of Consumption. The phyal-dnns who attended were aatislied in their opinion, Hint no hope remnliicd, and that further trial of medirlno would lie entirely useless. In tills dire and forlorn state, he liegnn lo use Hunt's llotnnic Pills, and hy luking a few boxes of Hie medicine he lias rerclvcd a perfect eurc,nnd has slnre enjoyed excellent health. Tlie unexpected recovery of Mr. Hossell, lias nstonlsbnd nil his rclntlves and friends, mill lie tenders these lines lo Dr. Hunt Willi everlasting gratitude. EDWARD ItUSSELL. Distressing ease nf trrere Spasmodic .lillunn, perectli) cured oy aunt's lunantc ruts, Mr. Henry White, was for the apnee of two years afflicted ills a scveie Asllimn, which proceeded from wet and cold: all Ihe worst symptoms of the complaint followed a tightness across the chest, with ditllru't and distressing breathing. During tlie Inst yenr of his illness, the disease Incre-ised so alarmingly as lo prevent Ids following nnv business, having lost his speech, and being threatened wl-h Immediate auffociilion, until a copious expectoration would como on, which only gave him relief fur a few hours. The physicians who attended him. pronounced his com pla'ht lieyond the possibility of cure, but at last Providence directed a pamphlet lo lie left at Ills house, alter which he procured some of Dr. Hunt's liolnnle Pills, and after taking a few Imxes he found himself entirely free from the complaint, twing cnpnbleat this lime of any exercise, even of walking forlv Inkles dally, and having all tlie enjoyments ol perfect health. llr;.KY mint;, IT nrtwnre of ( oiliilrrf.N !

This document wo havo read with attention. In its perusal we have endcavoied to dispossess our mind of every prejudice, and we havo sought, as far as in us lies, to give it tho benefit of a cool, calm, and impartial consideration. Wo have risen from its perusal with a mixed fueling of as tonishment and gratification. From the demonstrations made by the newspaper press, attached to the party in Ohio that elected Mr, Shannon Governor, wo were led to expect a message, charged to the brim with tho crudities of Loco-focoism. The Governor haB both astonished and gratified us, by the manliness of his tone and tho dignified independence of his sentiments. Wo did expect that ho would tamely sacrifice his private opinions upon the altar of party. We thought that he would not dare to travel out of the path prescribed by the Ohio Statesman. Wo did not know that ho possessed tlio moral courage to merge the partisan in the patriot. Our thought was unjust, and we embrace tlio earliest opportunity to confess the harshness of our suspicion and the insulTiciency of its origin, The Governor's sentiments, in regard to education, coincide witli our own. Wo are aware that much diversity of opinion exists, in Ohio, on tho subject of common schools and the law under which they are now conducted and fostered. With the details of that law, and the operation of the system created by its provisions, we are not familiar. Friends and enemies to the system arc to be found in all ranks and parlies. We do not feel oursclf called upon to appear as the champion of all the mimitse of the School Law wo aro content to enroll oursclf as the j humble advocate of that policy which proposes facilities for tho education of all the youth ol the State. Wo regard knowledge, general know-' Ictlg, as the grand substratum of Republicanism. A something, without tho existence of which, Liberty degenerates into licentiousness and Law into despotism. We believe with Governor Shan- ' non, that "It is a duty which wo owo lo our selves, as well as to posterity, to adopt all the necessary means, which prudence may suggest and wisdom devise, to preserve and perpetuate our free institutions." And that, "If wo expect to avoid the fate of other republics, in times past, and preserve our free institutions from the inroads of despotism, and the scllish ambition of the tic signing few, we must foster and cherish the means of general instruction." The next subject touched by the Govcrnor,is that of the currency. It was hero that wo expected to find him tho partisan. Ho has disappointed us, most agreeably. With the exception of one or two sacrificial oblations to the genius of party, and whicli,perhaps,wcrc ii nintcntional.u c have nothing particular to except to the general sentiment. The Whig party have, by some means, permitted themselves to be made the scape gnats of the banking system, when they were no moro cnti tied to the honor than their opponents. The Whig party of Ohio, we feel convinced, have no other interest in tho present banking system, and entertain for it no moro respect, than may bo warranted by common sense and experience. Tho ' senseless jargon which has so lung assailed ns, from tho presses of tho self-styled Democracy, has met a significant rebuke in the uniinpassioiipd reflections of the Governor, lie speaks favorably of a "State Hank, with branches, owned entirely by the State, and under tho control of the agents of the people, and u hero the whole profits on tho capital invested would bo paid into the public treasury for the public use." Ho also points nut obioclinns In lltn nrntect ntttl Iniivea flip stth- . J t i i jject, Very properly, to tllO decision of tllO peo ple. Ono sentiment, however, in relation to the present system of banking, wo cannot forbear re peating. We can sco nothing in it that meets our disapprobation. "A system of independent banks properly re stricted and limited in their power, placed under the supervision of bank commissioners, and being at all times untler Ihe control ol tlio Legislature, it not the best system that could bo adopted, is perhaps the best within our reach, at the present, or lor some tune to come. In auonlmg this sys' tern, however, there are certain principles and provisions which I would deem essentially necessary to bo incorporated in it in order lo guard against tho abuses and evils which belong to tho present svstcm. A compliment is also paid by tho Governor to tho condition nnd integrity of the Ohio Hanks. This was something that we did not expect. We had judged Mr. Shannon too much by the standard furnished by the newspaper press that advo cated and sustained him in his present political position. They have rung all manner of changes upon tlio rottenness and dishonesty of the pre sent banks, nnd wo were prepared to hear him give B ready echo to their calumnies. Ho says, however, distinctly and emphatically, that "The banks in this State, judging from their last quarterly report, aro generally in i sound condition. It is highly creditable In them that they havo, with few exceptions, continued to rC' deem their notes on demand, while like institii' tions elsewhere, havo been under tho necessity of suspending spceio payments. A remark liko this, coining from a source so elevated, will have a beneficial tendency in rC' storing confidence, and In giving to tho paper money of tho Slato a character which must e' scntially increase its utility. Another recommendation of the Governor, and ono which must meet the approval of every man who lias not prostrated his judgment beforo the shrine of party, is this: Addressing tho Legislature, ho says: "If you should not deem tho present a suitable timo to atlopt a permanent system of banking for the State, I would respectfully suggest the poliey of extending tho time of such of tho banks as you may judge worthy of public confidence, for winding up their business, for three years after the expiration of their charters in eighteen hundred anil forty-three." This recommendation is the product of a mind, unwarped by the passions, the prejudices, the catchwords, and the slung of party and we respect Mr. Shannon, not tlie more for the dignity of his language than for tho correctness of his opinions. The remainder of the Message treats of a variety of matters, of vast import to the people of Ohio, The concluding topic is that of the Militia System, and we are sorry that Mr. Shannon has not seen proper to recommend a substitute for tho present bundle of gross absurdities dignified with the title of the "Militia Law." Ho has acknowledged its incompetency, but ho has left tho Legislature to seek for the moans of its reformation.These remarks havo been thrown together in tho hurry of tho moment. Perhaps they may not meet the approbation of some of our friends. We think, however, that the frank avowal of our sentiments, even when that avowal seems to laud a political opponent, should bo received with respect. In times of high party excitement, we aro all, less or moro, inclined to look upon public men through the lens of political prejudice. It is, therefore, a virtue, tho greater because of its rarity, in that political editor who can divest himself of all party predilections, and consent to view publio men and public measures in the pure and untorturcd medium of truth. Wo have spoken of Mr. Shannon in the languago of candor. Wo have measured his Mcssago by tho standard of deliberate reason; and, if we have given offence, we have given it only to those who prefer , p . . . r the impetuosity of passion to the soberness ol rclectiom DllTlNV, CANDLES, OR HOW TO GET RICH IN A l'UHLlCOl'KICE Or' SMALL SALARY. Wo dont understand, said we to an old Democrat, how men get rich so fast in public office, on their low salaries. There is Mr. , was not worth a cent when ho went into office, at a thousand dollars a yoar. Ho has controlled a largo amount of money, settled all up honestly, and left office, after six or eight years' service, worth a hundred and fifty thousand dollars. "0! my," said the old man, "dont you know how its done? Did you ever hear the story about dipping candles!" No, said we let us hear it. "Well, come, sit down and I'll tell it: but you must not laugh, for there's no wit in it." Wo took our seats, and the old Democrat began, as follows: "In a certain army there was a ccitain company that (with one exception) was very remarkable for the neat and perfectly clean dress of the men, when on parade. Tho captain took great pride in boasting that ho had the finest dressed company in tho army all perfect gentlemen fit to enter a lady's parlor, gallant her to church, or necome her partner in a ball-room. But, there was one exception one man that seemed determined to be a sloven. He had been flogged every day, for a week, for this offence, hut all to no purpose. His appearance disgraced tho whole company, and mortified the vain captain. Ho was down for another flagging, when tho captain be gan to remonstrate with him. Ho could not help it. He said ho was poor; he couldn't do duty and keep clean. But, said tho officer, look at my clothes, how clean: whv dont vou keen vours so! Ah! said the man, you have an office. Well, J look at the corporal; ho works as much as you do, and is as poor and ho keeps clean. Yes, said the man, but he has got an office too. An office, said tho captain what good will an office do without salary! Never you mind, said the man; if I had an office, I would always havo clean clothes on parade, pay or no pay. Tho of ficer being disposed to indulge a joke, inquired what offico ho wanted. O! any thing, said he, only an office, that's all, just nn offico, 'The officer left him and socn returned, saying that he would bo employed to dislribulo candles to tho dilTerrnt messes in tho army. It was a dirty work, and no pay, but if ho undertook it, he must keep neat on parade, on pain of still moro sovcjro punishment. 0! yes, your honor, that's just tho offico for mo! I'll he as oloan as any of your men. "Ho was as good as his word; tho candles were regularly accounted for with accuracy, not ono missing, and the spruce captain was, himself, soon oiitdono by the superior dross and tasto of tlio soldier. How tho office could, without pay, nnd wilh increased labor, cnablo a man to make such improvement, was, indeed, a wonder. Tho hooks were examined, the candles counted, and men questioned. All was strait, and tho officer was non-pliis8cd. "Ho sent for tho retailer of candles and requested his secret after an assurance that whatever might nppcar should neither be exposed or punished. Ho was led to a small hut secret room whero was a large kcttlo filled with boiling water, To this place all tho candles were taken a day or two before being distributed, and dipped slowly in the kctth). A littlo tallow would melt from every candle, and tho eantllo appeared none tho smaller, Tho tallow, thus taken, was skimmed, put away and sold for tho benefit of tho soldior, and produced a daily incomo oxcocding tho pay of tho captain; and now, said tlie old democrat, dont you think theso men know how to dip candlosf if thoy dont how do they get so rich? Wo worn reminded of this candle story, on hearing ono gentleman tell tho olhor what wcro tho profits of tho Sergeant at Arms, and among other things was enumerated all the prices of candles, good spcrma-citl worth 43 cents a pound, and every piece that was once lighted and blown out belonged to this officer. My conscience! thinks wo, this is dipping candles with a vengeance! why not light a half candle as do our servents who arc' glad to get any candle at home, and aro nfH too good to read by a candle, because it happens to have an inch burnt off the top. A daily paper, of Columbus, not particulaily noted for the dignity of its language and still less for its observance of truth, has charged us with the crime of shaking hands with General McLaughlin, Mr. Faran, Mr. Buchanan, and Mr. Flood. These gentlemen were candidates for Speakerships, McLaughlin and Faran for the Senate, and Buchanan and Flood for tho House. If any of tho gentlemen, just named, shall see proper to endorso the pitiful fanfaronade, to which we allude, we shall bo happy to hear from them. We predicted that Gtm. McLaughlin and Mr. Buchanan would silccced before tlio Tinpan. If we happened to know moro about the feelings of tho Van Huron party of Ohio, than tho animal" that aspires to bo its oraclo, it is our misfortuue rather than our fault. We were right in both predictions the oraclo has no argument more pungent to bring against us than to call us Jim Men! Tho Confederate calls Snmucl Medary Esq. an animal! From the St. Louli Republican, DREADFUL STEAMBOAT ACCIDENT. Yesterday the steamboat St. Louis towetl into port tlio Wilmington, more dreadfully shattered and wreck- 1 ed than we have ever seen any vessel. The circuin-' stances of this melancholy event, we learn from lite olTicers of tlio boat, were about these ; Tlie Wilmington li ft New Orleans, for this port, on lite 1 1 in tliat., tiiiu on nip niui mug ui mo loin, a nuir BfoFB ijiy.Ut,nt ,toppe(1 l0 wooj near ,,B of ihe llth insl., and on the morning of the 18th, a little the Arkiiis.n river. Klin left tlie wood yard a little ' after day, and afier runninrr between 4 and 5 miles, being a ft-w miles above Napoleon, the middle boiler Imrslnl, tearing off nearly two rinzs in the centre of ihe boiler. The explosion threw the other two boiler otr into the river, wilh their chimneys, &c.,and carried the centre boiler backwards along the starboard side of the engine nearly the length of the boiler, tearing away all the stanclteons and other works, driving the fire-bed and deck under the boilers down into the huld. Fragments of the furnaces were only prevented from going tlirotioh, by hogsheads of sugar lying under it. The piece of iron detached from the exploding boiler, being about three feet wide nnd reaeliinj quite round the boiler, was carried directly llirouirh Ihe social hall. tearing away every thing in its course and culling off the pilot house, In which Ihe pilot was, lalliiirr through the after part of the hurricane deck into the ladies cabin. The furnaces and al) the upper deck, buck to the second room in the main cabin, waa torn atvay or so knocked down, as to fall immediately In. The pilot house was thrown into the river about 50 yards, finch was the force of the explosion, thai the principal clerk, Mr. Hirkinhine, who was in hits berth in Ihe office, was thrown forward, and, with the iron rh 'st fell near the eahslern, having been carried a distance of almost 4a tret. By the explosion, several were thrown overboard The Captain i n slant ly manned and sent Ihe yawl out, and succeeded in picking up several of them. Those of the passengers who were injured, were around the stove in the social hall, and suiTered most from Ihe falling in of the floor and the Blove, Ono had his leg broken in this way. Immediately alter the accident the boat took fire, hut was soon extinguished without serious injury. Fortunately she was in such a situation, lhat by the aid of the current thoy were enabled to run her ashore and make her fast. A despatch was immediately sent lo napoleon tor meaicai nnu oilier am, and an lite as sistance which, under tho circumstances, could be, was rendered. Upon the causes of Ibis accident there, doubtless, will be a contrariety of opinions, but for our part, we adopt that which appears lo be lite most general with : those whose opinions on such a subject are entitled to ' the greatest respect. The condition of the boilers ! which exploded shows that there was a sufficiency of water in itieiii ui ino time, utiu Hie ucciiient, in Hie opinion of several engineers who have examined It, (. mat " explosion or ginateu iron, a delect in the i iron. 1 he iron certain v nresenta an flnneiiraneAnt heir.rr weak and defective, and to have had flaws in it, Thedefeciive sheet was a piece which had been late ly put in lite boiler, it having been repaired only short lime since. Tho Wilmington was commanded by Charley II. tint, a young man who has been raised here, and Ii well known for his steady business habits and sobrie ty, and has been a number of years engaged on the river. Ills coolness and deliberation al the time o the accident and his attention to the wounded, is high- ly commended by those who witnessed it. It is but proper to add, that both tho engineers were skillful and experienced, and they, as the officers generally, sober and steady men. 1 he lnllowing is a list nr Ihe stillerers : Andrew Helm, Pilot, Wanhitigtoii cu.

The New Haves Herald has the following illustration of nn African mode of punishment. A few evenings since, when the jailer wns closing the doors which confine these unfortunates in our prison, he was informed by several of their nttmbor that one was absent, and on inquiring for him, was directed hy two of them lo the provision room in Ihe cellar, where on search, the " colored gentlonian" wns found snugly slowed away between two rusks, ami locked up so that be could not gel out. On heing returned to his brethren, a court wns held at which Jlulgo Cinqtiez prcsiticu, who decided Hint Aim' a n taw " lor lielv, should he administered, which was that he shoinVI re ceive thirty stripes upon his naked body, and ono of the stoutest of them was appointed to execute the judgment. A common riding whip was procured for Ihe purpose, and the culprit wns ordered to stnnd in a bending posture, with his arms folded, (the means for tying being refused) when Hie punishment wns fully administered, and borno wilh the stoicism of an old otl'ender, nor rould the humanity of the jailer prevnil wilh them to stop until he hnd received Ihe full award. They then sealotl him on the floor in tho middle of the room, and passed round him, pointing and crying " defy, licfy," This thoy said was " Meudi laur FOREIGN ITEMS, trldged from Foreign Journal!. Mthtmtl Mi, the Pasha of Egypt, came near being drowned on the 5th of October. Two boats were taking him and his suite from Alexandria to Cairo, when a flaw of wind upset them and all were in gur-gite vmlo. The old Pasha showed great presence of mind, and all were saved. Ibrahim, Mehemet's adopted son, the famous warrior in the Greek war, is commanding Ihe troops of Mehemet in Syria. The reports of revolt are contradicted. Old Mehemet entertains a spite against Kosrew, one of the Sultan's ministers, hut Ihe difficulty between them is Said to be wearing away. The Russian government has published a notice offering pay to 600 medical men who will repair to Odessa, on the northern shore of the Black Sea, and serve in the army. Many a poor soldier will feel the surgeon's knife if Russia carries forward her war in Circassia. SwiTzr.nLAND. Quarrelling is the fashion just at present among Ihe dwellers in the mountains. What will come of it is uncertain. Perhaps some of the districts will yet be joined to other states of Europe. Van Oilman's Land. This little island lying at the south-eastern corner uf New Holland, is quite an affair. It lies just about as far south of the Equator as Pennsylvania does north of it, and is not as Inrge as the Keystone Stale. The exports from this island to Great Uritain were, in 1839, more than two and a half millions of dollars in value. It produces a large quantity of wool. There are nearly 400 vessels own-ed in the colony, amounting to between 60 and 70 thousand tons. Tub Hook Business. What an enlightened policy is exhibited in the following paragraph! The King of Naples, by an ordinance, haB permitted tlio importation of foreign books (which, however, are to be previously inspected by a hoard of censorships at a reduction of Iwo-thirds in the duty, but on condition that ths merchants shall export, jn re-turn, books piinted in that kingdom for an amount equal to that of the imported articles, In order to facilitate the surveillance of the Board of Censorship, the importer to be entitled to the benefit of the reduction, must introduce those books by Naples orPalermo. Wouk fob Yankzes. More than two thousand proposals have been offered' to the English government for supplying stamps to be used in Ihe new penny postage system. Hiiuallu is always In danger. The French Kinr and Queen undertook.to ride out on the 19th of Octo ber, when a crajy woman threw a stone through ths carriage window and slightly wounded the royal lady. On Wednesday a Court of Directors was held at the East India-house, when Lieut. Gen. Sir T. M'Ma-lion, Bart., K. 0. B., was appointed Commander-in. Chief of the Company's forces, on the Bombay establishment.Orders have been received at tlie roval doclt-vardtat Woolwich, from the commissioners of the Lord of the Admiralty, i0 build, a steam-ship of 200' horse power, to be named the Lizard. She ia to be constructed with all possible expedition. THE SERPENTS OF JAVA. The immediate and fatal effects nroducerl hx that bite uf certain descriptions of. serpents, more especially those in the island of Java, are pretty well known: but perhaps, scarcely a more terrible instance has occurred, or at least has been recorded; than the follow-ing : A .Malay, a native of one of those numerous islands scattered in tha, poriion of the Indian seas, wjiich wasn uie snores ol Java, and of a low cosrV, m turning from his daily toil, threw himself carelessly into a corner nf his humble abode, and immediately plunged into a deep slumber. lie hail not long remaioed ia this ttnte of' happy forgetfttlness, than he waa awoke bv anmothintr nC cold, clammy feel passing slowly over his breast and ...

The snakes, irritated at the violent nrasn af ih. man, darted their sharp fangs into his person. Car- lam inai notning dui a miracle could now save him from immediate death, he redoubled hiseries of agon and despair while. he vainly endeavored to ditenguT? l.;.n-..lrr. it.-:, .i.- it.. i.i saa it 1 1 it act i i iuiii .inrir uoiiuiy IOIUS. It was some time before his cries reached the esrs of those wiihout; and when attracted by them, the people would have come to his assistance, but they found the door fastened in the iasido. This was, however, speedily burst open; bul when tho Malays beheld their wretched friend, his features convulsed wilh horror' with the snakes clinging to his person, they one and all fled ; fearful, perhaps, of sharing a like miserable end. Thus the poor creature was left to perish. His ag ouies must have been terrible indeed. For several hours his shrieks and exclamations thriller the heart's blood of bis hearers; limn they died away into sobbing moans, and at length all silent!; When his friendi ventured Into trie hut the follow, ing morning, tne mainy was sound extended on ths floor a ghastly corpse. His body had swelled frightfully from the effect of the venom, and was covered witti imge ixviu oiotonss. It afterwards appeared, that tha rnnlilea. ths, .ansa, of this dreadful catastrophe, had neaped from ths c.ino ui ituo ui uioao men Known In Ihe East as serpent charmers, and had found their way, to ths but ol the poor Malay.. bnifcdV States, Bank anil tht AnuttrJam lonn.K gantleman, who.came passenger in the British Queen, informs the editor of the New York Times that Mr. Jaudon observed to bim, the day previous to his departure fwm London, that he had about concluded negotiations wilh Messrs. Hope tV Co. for the loan of ItiUO.tKlO ; and he left him wilh ths full impresssiun that tho arrangements were mainly fixed upon, although he was not informed that Ihe proper documents were signed and sealed. As the Intt particular may not hnve been completed before the arrival of ths Liverpool," the intelligence by her, of the suspension of specie payments, by the banks of Philadelphia, may have put an end to the final conclusion of the loan with the Amsterdam House. Emigrants to Jiberia We learn from the Lexkiff.

Eight other of this company belonged lo the estate of Mr. J. Markee, late of Fayette, also, and were sent out by his widow.

This document wo havo read with attention. In its perusal we have endcavoied to dispossess our mind of every prejudice, and we havo sought, as far as in us lies, to give it tho benefit of a cool, calm, and impartial consideration. Wo have risen from its perusal with a mixed fueling of as tonishment and gratification. From the demonstrations made by the newspaper press, attached to the party in Ohio that elected Mr, Shannon Governor, wo were led to expect a message, charged to the brim with tho crudities of Loco-focoism. The Governor haB both astonished and gratified us, by the manliness of his tone and tho dignified independence of his sentiments. Wo did expect that ho would tamely sacrifice his private opinions upon the altar of party. We thought that he would not dare to travel out of the path prescribed by the Ohio Statesman. Wo did not know that ho possessed tlio moral courage to merge the partisan in the patriot. Our thought was unjust, and we embrace tlio earliest opportunity to confess the harshness of our suspicion and the insulTiciency of its origin, The Governor's sentiments, in regard to education, coincide witli our own. Wo are aware that much diversity of opinion exists, in Ohio, on tho subject of common schools and the law under which they are now conducted and fostered. With the details of that law, and the operation of the system created by its provisions, we are not familiar. Friends and enemies to the system arc to be found in all ranks and parlies. We do not feel oursclf called upon to appear as the champion of all the mimitse of the School Law wo aro content to enroll oursclf as the j humble advocate of that policy which proposes facilities for tho education of all the youth ol the State. Wo regard knowledge, general know-' Ictlg, as the grand substratum of Republicanism. A something, without tho existence of which, Liberty degenerates into licentiousness and Law into despotism. We believe with Governor Shan- ' non, that "It is a duty which wo owo lo our selves, as well as to posterity, to adopt all the necessary means, which prudence may suggest and wisdom devise, to preserve and perpetuate our free institutions." And that, "If wo expect to avoid the fate of other republics, in times past, and preserve our free institutions from the inroads of despotism, and the scllish ambition of the tic signing few, we must foster and cherish the means of general instruction." The next subject touched by the Govcrnor,is that of the currency. It was hero that wo expected to find him tho partisan. Ho has disappointed us, most agreeably. With the exception of one or two sacrificial oblations to the genius of party, and whicli,perhaps,wcrc ii nintcntional.u c have nothing particular to except to the general sentiment. The Whig party have, by some means, permitted themselves to be made the scape gnats of the banking system, when they were no moro cnti tied to the honor than their opponents. The Whig party of Ohio, we feel convinced, have no other interest in tho present banking system, and entertain for it no moro respect, than may bo warranted by common sense and experience. Tho ' senseless jargon which has so lung assailed ns, from tho presses of tho self-styled Democracy, has met a significant rebuke in the uniinpassioiipd reflections of the Governor, lie speaks favorably of a "State Hank, with branches, owned entirely by the State, and under tho control of the agents of the people, and u hero the whole profits on tho capital invested would bo paid into the public treasury for the public use." Ho also points nut obioclinns In lltn nrntect ntttl Iniivea flip stth- . J t i i jject, Very properly, to tllO decision of tllO peo ple. Ono sentiment, however, in relation to the present system of banking, wo cannot forbear re peating. We can sco nothing in it that meets our disapprobation. "A system of independent banks properly re stricted and limited in their power, placed under the supervision of bank commissioners, and being at all times untler Ihe control ol tlio Legislature, it not the best system that could bo adopted, is perhaps the best within our reach, at the present, or lor some tune to come. In auonlmg this sys' tern, however, there are certain principles and provisions which I would deem essentially necessary to bo incorporated in it in order lo guard against tho abuses and evils which belong to tho present svstcm. A compliment is also paid by tho Governor to tho condition nnd integrity of the Ohio Hanks. This was something that we did not expect. We had judged Mr. Shannon too much by the standard furnished by the newspaper press that advo cated and sustained him in his present political position. They have rung all manner of changes upon tlio rottenness and dishonesty of the pre sent banks, nnd wo were prepared to hear him give B ready echo to their calumnies. Ho says, however, distinctly and emphatically, that "The banks in this State, judging from their last quarterly report, aro generally in i sound condition. It is highly creditable In them that they havo, with few exceptions, continued to rC' deem their notes on demand, while like institii' tions elsewhere, havo been under tho necessity of suspending spceio payments. A remark liko this, coining from a source so elevated, will have a beneficial tendency in rC' storing confidence, and In giving to tho paper money of tho Slato a character which must e' scntially increase its utility. Another recommendation of the Governor, and ono which must meet the approval of every man who lias not prostrated his judgment beforo the shrine of party, is this: Addressing tho Legislature, ho says: "If you should not deem tho present a suitable timo to atlopt a permanent system of banking for the State, I would respectfully suggest the poliey of extending tho time of such of tho banks as you may judge worthy of public confidence, for winding up their business, for three years after the expiration of their charters in eighteen hundred anil forty-three." This recommendation is the product of a mind, unwarped by the passions, the prejudices, the catchwords, and the slung of party and we respect Mr. Shannon, not tlie more for the dignity of his language than for tho correctness of his opinions. The remainder of the Message treats of a variety of matters, of vast import to the people of Ohio, The concluding topic is that of the Militia System, and we are sorry that Mr. Shannon has not seen proper to recommend a substitute for tho present bundle of gross absurdities dignified with the title of the "Militia Law." Ho has acknowledged its incompetency, but ho has left tho Legislature to seek for the moans of its reformation.These remarks havo been thrown together in tho hurry of tho moment. Perhaps they may not meet the approbation of some of our friends. We think, however, that the frank avowal of our sentiments, even when that avowal seems to laud a political opponent, should bo received with respect. In times of high party excitement, we aro all, less or moro, inclined to look upon public men through the lens of political prejudice. It is, therefore, a virtue, tho greater because of its rarity, in that political editor who can divest himself of all party predilections, and consent to view publio men and public measures in the pure and untorturcd medium of truth. Wo have spoken of Mr. Shannon in the languago of candor. Wo have measured his Mcssago by tho standard of deliberate reason; and, if we have given offence, we have given it only to those who prefer , p . . . r the impetuosity of passion to the soberness ol rclectiom DllTlNV, CANDLES, OR HOW TO GET RICH IN A l'UHLlCOl'KICE Or' SMALL SALARY. Wo dont understand, said we to an old Democrat, how men get rich so fast in public office, on their low salaries. There is Mr. , was not worth a cent when ho went into office, at a thousand dollars a yoar. Ho has controlled a largo amount of money, settled all up honestly, and left office, after six or eight years' service, worth a hundred and fifty thousand dollars. "0! my," said the old man, "dont you know how its done? Did you ever hear the story about dipping candles!" No, said we let us hear it. "Well, come, sit down and I'll tell it: but you must not laugh, for there's no wit in it." Wo took our seats, and the old Democrat began, as follows: "In a certain army there was a ccitain company that (with one exception) was very remarkable for the neat and perfectly clean dress of the men, when on parade. Tho captain took great pride in boasting that ho had the finest dressed company in tho army all perfect gentlemen fit to enter a lady's parlor, gallant her to church, or necome her partner in a ball-room. But, there was one exception one man that seemed determined to be a sloven. He had been flogged every day, for a week, for this offence, hut all to no purpose. His appearance disgraced tho whole company, and mortified the vain captain. Ho was down for another flagging, when tho captain be gan to remonstrate with him. Ho could not help it. He said ho was poor; he couldn't do duty and keep clean. But, said tho officer, look at my clothes, how clean: whv dont vou keen vours so! Ah! said the man, you have an office. Well, J look at the corporal; ho works as much as you do, and is as poor and ho keeps clean. Yes, said the man, but he has got an office too. An office, said tho captain what good will an office do without salary! Never you mind, said the man; if I had an office, I would always havo clean clothes on parade, pay or no pay. Tho of ficer being disposed to indulge a joke, inquired what offico ho wanted. O! any thing, said he, only an office, that's all, just nn offico, 'The officer left him and socn returned, saying that he would bo employed to dislribulo candles to tho dilTerrnt messes in tho army. It was a dirty work, and no pay, but if ho undertook it, he must keep neat on parade, on pain of still moro sovcjro punishment. 0! yes, your honor, that's just tho offico for mo! I'll he as oloan as any of your men. "Ho was as good as his word; tho candles were regularly accounted for with accuracy, not ono missing, and the spruce captain was, himself, soon oiitdono by the superior dross and tasto of tlio soldier. How tho office could, without pay, nnd wilh increased labor, cnablo a man to make such improvement, was, indeed, a wonder. Tho hooks were examined, the candles counted, and men questioned. All was strait, and tho officer was non-pliis8cd. "Ho sent for tho retailer of candles and requested his secret after an assurance that whatever might nppcar should neither be exposed or punished. Ho was led to a small hut secret room whero was a large kcttlo filled with boiling water, To this place all tho candles were taken a day or two before being distributed, and dipped slowly in the kctth). A littlo tallow would melt from every candle, and tho eantllo appeared none tho smaller, Tho tallow, thus taken, was skimmed, put away and sold for tho benefit of tho soldior, and produced a daily incomo oxcocding tho pay of tho captain; and now, said tlie old democrat, dont you think theso men know how to dip candlosf if thoy dont how do they get so rich? Wo worn reminded of this candle story, on hearing ono gentleman tell tho olhor what wcro tho profits of tho Sergeant at Arms, and among other things was enumerated all the prices of candles, good spcrma-citl worth 43 cents a pound, and every piece that was once lighted and blown out belonged to this officer. My conscience! thinks wo, this is dipping candles with a vengeance! why not light a half candle as do our servents who arc' glad to get any candle at home, and aro nfH too good to read by a candle, because it happens to have an inch burnt off the top. A daily paper, of Columbus, not particulaily noted for the dignity of its language and still less for its observance of truth, has charged us with the crime of shaking hands with General McLaughlin, Mr. Faran, Mr. Buchanan, and Mr. Flood. These gentlemen were candidates for Speakerships, McLaughlin and Faran for the Senate, and Buchanan and Flood for tho House. If any of tho gentlemen, just named, shall see proper to endorso the pitiful fanfaronade, to which we allude, we shall bo happy to hear from them. We predicted that Gtm. McLaughlin and Mr. Buchanan would silccced before tlio Tinpan. If we happened to know moro about the feelings of tho Van Huron party of Ohio, than tho animal" that aspires to bo its oraclo, it is our misfortuue rather than our fault. We were right in both predictions the oraclo has no argument more pungent to bring against us than to call us Jim Men! Tho Confederate calls Snmucl Medary Esq. an animal!

Yesterday the steamboat St. Louis towetl into port tlio Wilmington, more dreadfully shattered and wreck- 1 ed than we have ever seen any vessel. The circuin-' stances of this melancholy event, we learn from lite olTicers of tlio boat, were about these ; Tlie Wilmington li ft New Orleans, for this port, on lite 1 1 in tliat., tiiiu on nip niui mug ui mo loin, a nuir BfoFB ijiy.Ut,nt ,toppe(1 l0 wooj near ,,B of ihe llth insl., and on the morning of the 18th, a little the Arkiiis.n river.

The explosion threw the other two boiler otr into the river, wilh their chimneys, &c.,and carried the centre boiler backwards along the starboard side of the engine nearly the length of the boiler, tearing away all the stanclteons and other works, driving the fire-bed and deck under the boilers down into the huld. Fragments of the furnaces were only prevented from going tlirotioh, by hogsheads of sugar lying under it. The piece of iron detached from the exploding boiler, being about three feet wide nnd reaeliinj quite round the boiler, was carried directly llirouirh Ihe social hall. tearing away every thing in its course and culling off the pilot house, In which Ihe pilot was, lalliiirr through the after part of the hurricane deck into the ladies cabin. The furnaces and al) the upper deck, buck to the second room in the main cabin, waa torn atvay or so knocked down, as to fall immediately In. The pilot house was thrown into the river about 50 yards, finch was the force of the explosion, thai the principal clerk, Mr. Hirkinhine, who was in hits berth in Ihe office, was thrown forward, and, with the iron rh 'st fell near the eahslern, having been carried a distance of almost 4a tret. By the explosion, several were thrown overboard The Captain i n slant ly manned and sent Ihe yawl out, and succeeded in picking up several of them. Those of the passengers who were injured, were around the stove in the social hall, and suiTered most from Ihe falling in of the floor and the Blove, Ono had his leg broken in this way. Immediately alter the accident the boat took fire, hut was soon extinguished without serious injury. Fortunately she was in such a situation, lhat by the aid of the current thoy were enabled to run her ashore and make her fast. A despatch was immediately sent lo napoleon tor meaicai nnu oilier am, and an lite as sistance which, under tho circumstances, could be, was rendered. Upon the causes of Ibis accident there, doubtless, will be a contrariety of opinions, but for our part, we adopt that which appears lo be lite most general with : those whose opinions on such a subject are entitled to ' the greatest respect.

A common riding whip was procured for Ihe purpose, and the culprit wns ordered to stnnd in a bending posture, with his arms folded, (the means for tying being refused) when Hie punishment wns fully administered, and borno wilh the stoicism of an old otl'ender, nor rould the humanity of the jailer prevnil wilh them to stop until he hnd received Ihe full award.

This little island lying at the south-eastern corner uf New Holland, is quite an affair. It lies just about as far south of the Equator as Pennsylvania does north of it, and is not as Inrge as the Keystone Stale. The exports from this island to Great Uritain were, in 1839, more than two and a half millions of dollars in value. It produces a large quantity of wool. There are nearly 400 vessels own-ed in the colony, amounting to between 60 and 70 thousand tons. Tub Hook Business. What an enlightened policy is exhibited in the following paragraph!

The immediate and fatal effects nroducerl hx that bite uf certain descriptions of. serpents, more especially those in the island of Java, are pretty well known: but perhaps, scarcely a more terrible instance has occurred, or at least has been recorded; than the follow-ing : A .Malay, a native of one of those numerous islands scattered in tha, poriion of the Indian seas, wjiich wasn uie snores ol Java, and of a low cosrV, m turning from his daily toil, threw himself carelessly into a corner nf his humble abode, and immediately plunged into a deep slumber. lie hail not long remaioed ia this ttnte of' happy forgetfttlness, than he waa awoke bv anmothintr nC cold, clammy feel passing slowly over his breast and ...

It was some time before his cries reached the esrs of those wiihout; and when attracted by them, the people would have come to his assistance, but they found the door fastened in the iasido. This was, however, speedily burst open; bul when tho Malays beheld their wretched friend, his features convulsed wilh horror' with the snakes clinging to his person, they one and all fled ; fearful, perhaps, of sharing a like miserable end. Thus the poor creature was left to perish. His ag ouies must have been terrible indeed.
