fueneeimgetraordInary scene took place I
In sthe most dignified assembly in the em
CsuacU or SCOTLAND Br.zriczs BILL.
~Lord Brougham said. iaconsequence of
too noble earl (Aberdeen.) whom he did
not see in his place, being determined to
with this measure on Thursday,
should postpone the second reading of
his Slave-trade Suppresion Bill from that
day until Tuesday next. At the same
tme that be gave this notice, he must take
the opportunity of expressing his regret
and disstisfacnon' that (he noble earl, a
gainst this remonstrance snd contrary to
his solicitation, should hive insisted on
proceeding last night with a measure which
could only have for its object to insult and
a'ontihe judges in their lordship's house,
is order to give some sort of self-impor
tance to certain otberjudges elsewhere.
"So ucb." said the noble lord, passion
aiely, "a much for having a relation in
the Cabinet! For my part, however, I
ashall not let the matter rest bere. I give
the noble earl fair notice that on Thrs.
day I will bring forward in delnil the
whole of the subject of this, insult, and we
wiU then see if your lordships., after my
ezplanation, will put such an affront upon
the judges as will be cunveyed by your
adoption of this measure."
The Earl of Haddiogton said, the noble
lood certainly could not have taken a moire
mneonieniett or extraordinary opportunity
of mentioning his intention.
Lord Brougham (in a giolcut tone.)
Was there Ist night y
%he Earl or Haddington (not noticing
the :ntierruption)-but with respect to a
portion of his address he must at once de
ny that it was theobject of his noble friend,
by this bill, either to insult or affront thie
judges of their lordship's house, for the
purpse. as the noble lord bad put it, of
garog a sort of importance to judges in
another placo. ~ His noble friend,the noble
earl, had expressly declared last night.
that be regretted the necessi-y which com
pelled him to difer from the judges-that
hisob'ect was simply .to prevent division
andiminution in she Church of Scotland.
and to preclude the possibility of a t sad
results,tbetotal dis-establishment of the
.urch. which he confidently expected
weslk"ak place if ibis measure was not
carieL. If the only effect of the measure
would be to set aside their lordsbigiajdg
meat, be thought he might safely declare
thatthe bill would never have been thought
of.

an accountVf the murders comaitted by
the Sionus Indians upon the Pawnees, and
upon the-wife of the Blacksmith. His wife
was shot on Tuesday morning, the 47th,
about 7 o'clock. The husband had en
deavored to save her by shutting her up in
the shop, but she bad not time to bolt the
door, sd it was burst open. She was

Thse Great Forger- of 1841.-From let
ters received by the Colesmbia, it seems
that a man by the namne of John S. Clin
ton, ha. been arrested in London, charged
with uttering forged Treasury Notes of
the United States. We copy from the
Money Article of the New York Herald,
of the 19th instant, the following explica
tive of the affair:
"Our readers will doubtless remember
the iuccessful depredations of some ac
comuphshed rogue upon Messrs. Little
Co., about te time of the Mlonroo E
wet-ds forgeries. Tho Bank of Araeric~a
received thtrough nhe mail, a lettet. pur
portiug to be from its corresponding bank
in New Orleans. enclosing half a certif.,
cate of deposite, *'33,00( in fa'tor of some
individual w-ho wounld personally present
the other half. The person presented
himself and his possession of the half of!
the certificate coo responding to the one ina
the letter was considered sufficient ideriti
fications of tlte individual by Mr. Tlhomp
ao, the cashier, and on the strength of it
he introduced him to Jacob Little & Co..
to negotiate the certificate, and that house
purchased it at jhe market rate. The per
son took in part payment eight Treasury .
Notes of $1.000 each. It turned out that
the certificate was a forgery. The pny
ment of the Treasury Notes was then
stopped at Washington, and a description
sent to most of the bankers here and in
Europe. in consequence of this the
forger found great difficulty in selling
themn. Until within a few weeks lhe
gave five of themn to the Union Bank of
London, to send to this market, having al
tered the name of the payee on the (nee
to evade the descripsion. The Union
Bank sent them to the Bank of Americn,
and that Banki actually received and paid
these, and the money was remitted to
London through P'ickersgill & Co. In
the mean time the rogue had offered the
other three for sale to Peabody, Briags &

are opposed to the elevatiou of the Hon. John

did not include those lie delivered in 1816. -
By the following czplanation from Messrs.

that the scrip issued upon the faith ofthe Speea

New York, July 17, 184,.
Mr. CaL&,mn in Mhiae -The Waed& ggii
says: - We were not aware of the strength of
Ir. Calhoun in this State, until its appearance
in the late State Convention. He ts gaing
ground evesy day. and can count with certamin
ty upon a part of the Maine delegation at the
Natonal Convention. Who wouldhave thought
it!"
''he Portlad American says: "You areAi;h2
in that. As the Dentocracy look at the Presi
dential question, the better satisfed ate they
that 31r. Calhoun is the best man that can be
run. Ilia friends are increasing fifty per cent.
a week."
The Bargor Engarer announced. in its last
number. its t choice to be Mr. Calhoun.
The following isan extract from the leader:
" Our first choice of men to fill th exasted
office of Chief Magistrate of the Union. isJoahn
C. Calhoun, ofloath Carolina, and while sta
ting our preference it is also proper tossy, that
we shall support the nominee of the National
Convention. We should do this, let the nom
ination fall on either of the distinguished Re
publicans., whose names has been mentioned
in connexton with the highest office within the
gift of the people. In advocating the elevation
of Mr. Calhoun, we shall at all times endeavor
to treat his competitors with the fairness and
candor, which Is so proper when
speaking of individuals of the same great par
ty. and candidates for the sante high station.
Let us have no bickerings nor heart burnings
-no backbitng nor unworthy management
among; the fiends of either candidate, but let.
thre frieinds of both state their preferences and
gau their reasons ror them, before the decision
of thre National Convention, and after unite
uur force. to elect the man on whom it sball
have cast the nomination.?
Iheavy Rains and Destruction of Property. -
rte Mascon Telegrapl of the 25th nIt., sts
lhat aller a long spell of hot dry weather. it
:ommnenced raining on the moriing of the 20th
ill., and for several hour. poured down in tor
'enus. The streams rose rapidly. By the next
norsing the Ocmulgee had risen 16 feet. It
tas rained every day since, and the Rivor and
ow grounds are still full, though the water is
'aling.
Conbsiderable damage has been done to the
trops in the low grounds in this vicinity. Ini
he up country also, we hear of more er less
lamage by the Btoods.
The same paper says that a sudden and dia
strous freshet occurred ut the Indian Springs,
n Butts county, at the same time. The rain
ommenced falling about 7 o'clock, and such,
ras its violence, that in the space of two hours
h'e ceek rose twenty feet, and carried away
Grocery and Billiard room belonging to Mr.
Vm. G. Thomas. with its erntents, which
vcem completely destroyed. M~r Dillon, the
roprietor of the Springs H otel, has safered
lie greatest loss by thtis catastrophe. His en
ise crop It is said is destroyed, his fences, &c.
ompletely demolished. The damage sustain
d by these worthy and enterprising gentlemen,
re regret to learn is not much short of two
sonsand dollars. All the br'tdges about the
prings are gone, and no doubt much damage
is been done on the ,eourse of the creek, ihe
mentnt of which, we have not been informed.
Amreriacaa Sil.--The Charlestor. Cousrier of
he 29th nIt., says: "Our attention has been
alled to some specimens of silk goods, mane
actured in this country, whiech certainly ate
-cry creditable in their appearance, and ex
sIlent in fabrie. They are in farm of ladies'
ravasts or smrall -square fringed handkerchiefs
idifyerent pattern and colour, and will bear a
emph~arisoo with the same style of goods of fo
cign make. TI'.ey are the first attempt to
nanufacture faincy silk goods in thin country,
nd most thereforre be looked~upon more as an
xpermentarl produtctionr than as the results of
regular business. We learn too, that the
Lmerican sewing silk is taking the place of
he Italian very rapidly, being round as even
rid as stronig. and at the samne time cheaper.,
'he agetnt or thtes, goods will purchase any
itnatity of the raw silk which may be offered
