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 lessMhan if projected from aCun* lion. v > ^ ? - ? ?

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. llapid Flight / ? M.
