ilie unfortunate Gentleman was found
in a ditch 7^ yards from the &tage,
withor^his Coat, Waistcoat, Boots
or Stockings, with a violent contu
sion on his head, occassioned^ it is
presumed, by his jumping from the
Stage, when the Horses were run
ning. The mysterious part of this
sad accident is, the Cloaths been oft*,
in the coat pocket of whith was
found a P<x ket-Bf?ok. containing
nine hundred dollars. The unfortu
nate man never spoke again, or ap
peared sensible' of his situation ?
medical aid was in Vain exerted, and
lie died without any elucidation of
this extraordinary event. As he
must have received his death-blow
when he fell, how came his cloaths
off? ? if this was effected and he was
murdered t)y a Highwayman, why
did not the assailant reap the fruits
of Ins villainy? The deceased, as
appeared by papers in his Pocket
Book, was a Paypinster in the Unit
ed States Army, has a family at
Norfolk, and was designated * Ma
jor Letoy Opie/ 'K
it would be well, if this, amo'dgst
ni any other/lreadful accidents of the
kind, would determine Stage Pro
prietors to employ -only able bodied,
steady, and determined Drivers, as
.a Youth cannot be supposed capable
of that bodily strength or metal dis
cretion in such cases of emergency
lis call for the exertiou of these quali*
ties ? above all, the Drivers ought to
be sober men. Another idea of im
portance suggests itself, that neither
Passengers nor Drivers, ought, as
they value their lives, to leap from
a Hying carriage. ? They always
reach the ground far from the spot
aimed at, never fall upon their feet,
and are thrown with a force, little

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, iSii*.
W
\Y e are. glad to observe (says the
National lntelljjpiiccr) that the mer-l
cantile community ate taking mea
sures to imprest* upon Congress the
propriety of passing a law to estab
lish a uniform system of Bankruptcy*
The necessity of such a statute is ren
dered more unequivocal by every
day's experience 5 and, as the ques
tion of its passage turns wholly on
its expediency , (the constitution hay*
ing clearly invested Congress with
the power if, indeed it does not en
join sucli an act upon them,) it is sin
cerely hoped that the objections which
vhave heretofore defeated ibis impor
tant measure will yield to the calls
of justice and humanity. The news
papers, north and south, teem w^th
essays urging the eu$c(ment of ^uch
a law ; and meetings have be/n held
in most of the cities, to prepare pe
titions to Congress on the subject,?
The latest meeting which we have
noticed was held in Boston on the
26th and $7tb ult. in pursuance of a
recommendatory circular from the
Chamber of commerce of New-York.
The meeting was very numerous and
res[*ctable, and a memorial was re*
ported, to include the merchants and
traders of the whole Commonwealth
of Massachusetts which, being un
aniMioaity adopted, a committee of
four gentlemen was apj^nted to cir
culate it, and olttain signatures*
Germany ? ? An Augpburg article
observes? in Austria, in Prussia, in
8?xony, in Hesse, every where, the
.people are occupied with the delibera
tions of the states of Bavaria, and
.cvince a lively interest in them.?
Front Memel and Konigsburg as
? far as Ipswick and Contauce, the
cry has l>een universal. Nothing
is s|mken of but the king of .Bavaria
and the free constitution he has given
to his country. And it is thus that
the Prussians mid Hanoverians, with
the Saxons, the Hessions, and Un
people on the bonders of the Rhine,
the subjects of minor princes, an'.1
the inhabitants of (Vee cities, unani
mously hail the ki|g of Bavaria
the idol of the Gentian nation.:
is beyond doubt that if the Germ,
powers cvence a liberal disposition to
satisfy the wishes of the people, they'
will acquire a moral force which will
not leave them behind those who arc
aiming to augment their physical
force.
It is said (remarks the inquirer)
that Gen. Jacksou has it in contem
plation to resigu his commission af
ter the ensuing session of Congress.
It is also said, that he will visit
Washington this winter, with a hope
that the celebrated Report of the
Senate may come upon the tapis. ?
We hope, that, in that event, the
matter-may be conducted with digni
ty and moderation.

started a Ballon from New-York,
which fell at Buzrah (Conn*) about
two hours and a half from the time
of its ascent.* The dist?\ce between
the two places is 143 miles in a
straight line, and the machinc must
therefore have travelled at the rate of
about 45 miles an hour.
