cashed, he and his wife adopted a novel!
plan for settin g his affairs. They gave
otu that he had a malignant fever, and in
three days after he expired. A eoffin was
procured, and filled not with the remains
of poor John, hut with mother earth; and
word being sent to the priest that he would j
be interred at two o'clock, his reverence
*
attended, and having to all appearance I
buried poor John, collected ?7 of offer-,
ings. The disconsolate widow, having a
little proprety left belonging to her greatly
regretted husband, actually administered,
and from the pitiful story she made,
the gentlemen concerned in executing
the administration not only gave theii services
gratis, but also raised some money
for her, as poor John was a general favorite.
A gentleman belonging to Armagh
happened to be in Liverpool about
three weeks after, and, to his great surprise
and terror, observed poor John
a short distance before him. Having
summoned up sufficient courage, he went
up to hiin. John at first denied he was
the person, but finding tbc gentleman
would not be further imposed upon, he
coufrssed all, and promised to pay as
soon as able. When the gentleman came
home, he went to the widow and asked if
lie hud returned from Liverpool, on which
she got very angry, asserting that her
poor husband had died of two days illness.
The gentleman persevering in his
assertion, the widow said if he was seen,
it must have been his ghost. Ilowevr, to
settle the dispute, the grave was opened,

Dear Sir : The Ilritish brig Rosebank,
Captain Montgomery, from Belfast* has
Arrived liere with 123 passengers, consigned
to the Shaws. They hove brought
"4 '
the small pox witli. There wax one death
si few.days before their arrival, and ten
cases now on board. They are now lying
at the Quarantine Ground of Perth Amboy.
Their destination is New York,
but in consequence of the sickness among
litem, the authorities here are at a loss
to know what to do with them. The
Inspector says it will not do to send them
to Harkensnrk Bridge, it will he risking
the health and good favor of that place !
The Board of Health met this (Saturday)
afternoon, to adopt some plan. Mr. Shaw
is here. The consignee of the Jacob
Pennel is Mr. Keenan of the firm of Herdman.
Kecnan &. Co. of New York."
Of all the patient and unresisting peo.^1^
^C T^T ir i

Of the foreign and Ameiican vessels that
have gone to Perth Amboy during the
last three months, the passengers of nearly
or quite eve^' one of them being 3,293,
have been consigned to Kawson & Mc- :
Murray, Ilerdman & Kocnan, Douglass,
Robinson, &, Co.; or some other Rritish
firm resident in New York; and the passc?ngers
have accordingly been fraudulent*
ly forced upon New York. Now let us
ask, would such base conduct be borne in
any other country ? We fearlessly answer
no. Our city is daily in danger of
plague and pestilence from the hordes of
unfortunate creatures who are dragged
into it by those sharing its protection and
comforts. And the city is thus defrauded
of her security against their becoming a
public charge. Is this to be quietly subintitedto?
Why do not the authorities
station officers along shore to prevent them
from landing on our Island ? Let means
be taken to protect us Irom these worse

for the courier.
Mr. Fditoi; ?
In your Courier of 22<l tilt. I saw sonic
strictures on my remarks on "Urtsts i\o.
I." over the si* nature of "A Young PI utter."
The tenacity with which he adheres,
to his first position, is only equaled by
by the gentlemanly manner in which those
strictures are made. Anomalous as it ,
may seem, he makes me both sorry and
glad; sorry to widely differ with a man of
improved mind, and glad, notwithstanding,
to find him a man of chaste and refined
feelings: but to my subject.
The Young Planter says, "Now unless
I have been grossly misinformed through
the medium of the public prints, titer#
has been a large amount of coin imported,
which, considering our great indebtedness,
might have contributed to shake
the basis of the currency in England, and
thereby cause a demand on us for specie,
lint to produce a result of sueli startling
inagnitudeaslhe present calamity,there arc
doubtless various causes." Now, I positively
deny, that our government imported
any specie directly from England, or that
it was in debt to that nation; and if the
government or people of that country
suffered our citizens to leather their eyes,
uid drean the specie from them, our government
is not to he charged with it, or
"rcspossihle for it;" and the "startling
magnitude of our present calamity" has
been caused by our own people, and not
by the government. If I am mistaken in
iliis assertion, adduced farts to the contrary
will shew it, but there must be facts,
tnd not guess-work. Again he says, "It
strikes tny mind forcibly, that the removal
j( the depositcs was the most potcnl first
:ause." Cause of what? of the larrre im
- - (""" c "
portations of coin? or the present indebtedness
and distress in our country? To my
mind; it caused ne ither one or the other,
uny more than it could produce a volcanic
eruption in Mount Etna; and facts must
be adduced to sustain such premises, or
1 nevi r can b< lievc it; and 1 am so ineffably
stupid as to think it very strange
that any man of unprejudiced mind, could
bring himself to believe it: Again he
say*, '"the deposite of the public funds in
ihe pet Ranks, and their subsequent transfer
and dcvMnn among the different
Slates, led to a state of things which the
"Old Farmer" so inneh deprecates, to wit:
inordinate Bank issues, and the great expansion
of the credit system without an
adequate sperie basis."
As to there bring any such things a?
"pet Banks" 1 unhesitatingly deny. The
Banks that received the public deposite.s
in the different States, were first inquired
into, and considered solvent and safe,
then the deposites weve offered on condi
lion that they made the govej nincnl serine
in the return of the money when
required, or that they disburse it under
the direction of the government, and
without charge or expense. Now, if I
deposite money with a merchant or other
citizen, and require his bond and#ecnrity,
that he will pay my debts according to
my orders, to the amount deposited, is he
to be considered as my "pet?" I think
not. The "inordinate Dank issues and
jreat expansion of the < redit svstem" was
pot authorized by the government, and
Heaven forbid it should ever have power
to do acts of that kind. The dread of
such power, in an unconstitutional Bank
nf the United States, cannot be viewed
ivith too much jealousy, or we may yet
l)e governed by a monied obligatory:
then farewell to* liberty and our Republican
institutions.
"Ag? in, he says, speaking of the four
millions." He here alludes to me; my
memory is bad, but I certainly think I
never heard any thing about the "four
millions'* before, or how it was "invested
in unhallowed speculations in the West."
