R. M. Last Momonts of the Duke of Wellin] ton. Of the latest moments of Knglam greatest hero?the caption of the agethe conqueror of Napoleon?the Duke Wellington?the Iron Duke?who is no no more, the London correspondent of tl Philadelphia American gives the annexe account.?Baltimore Sun. The mournful event, so long anticipate by the nation, has come upon the coin"at last like a thunderbolt. There was i warning, no sign, no word. The Duk as was his custom at this season of tl year, had left the metropolis on a visit I AValmer Castle, lie was enjoying perfe< health on Monday last, and ate a heart dinner that day; he was lively, soeiabl and in fine spirits. Ilo retired to rest o Monday night, apparently quite well. O Tuesday morning, at half-past six, M Kendall, the Duke's *'alet, went to awak his master, but his (Irace refused to g? up; one hour afterwards the valet agai went to the Duke, who appeared unwe and ordered the doctor to be sent for. Mr. llulke, surgeon at Deal, repairo immediately to the Castle, lie found th Duke suffering from indigestion, and con plaining of pains in the chest and stomacl He was in the full possession of his tacu iics, ;mu uescriucu ins situation clearly.? This was liis last conversation on earll Mr. lli;lkc nicrolv prescribed some dr toast and tea. Subsequently Mr. Hulk and Dr. McArthur consulted together, an emetics were administered, but they pit duced no effect. Every effort was used t afford relief, but in vain. The Duke los the power of speech and consciousncss.Ile was removed from his bed into an ari chair, and the attendants of his dyin moments were assembled in a group j round him. On one side were Lord Chark Wellesley and Dr. McArthur, on the otl er Mr. llulke aud Kendall, the valet.About noon a fresh attack came on, an from that time scarcely any sign of an mation could be detected. Mr. llulkefc the action of the pulse till about fiflet minutes past three o'clock, when he four that it had ceased to boat, and declare thai all was over. Thus, on Tuesday, September 14,185: tho Duke of Wellington expired calinl; and without a struggle or a sigh to mar the exact moment when the vital spar was extinguished.

May pr<> [ if \ ittfdfl Mk,? <3 "* Carolinian> Wt * * _ r ' %? /'M * ' W % Suggestions to our Grand Juries. The sitting of the approaching Courts will afford a fine opportunity for the Grand Juries of the different Districts to urge upon the Legislature the passage of such acts as the moral wants of their communities may require. Should anything like a respectable number of tliem unite upon a picseiniiieui, ii wouiu more cneetuauy secure th? attention of the members of this body than the same suggestions from any other source, except, perhaps, the direct insti notion of their constituents. Are there, then, no measures of public utility, of such importance as to require the aid of these conservators of the morality and good order of the State? Wo think there are, and will proceed to point thein out, under the hope that they may be brought before the proper tribun al, in such a manner as to secure a prompt and respectful consideration. First, then, the necessity of a more effectual system of punishment for our criminals has long been fell. It cannot bo denied that it bears no proportion to the crimes for which it is now inflicted: Although many improvements have already been made in our penal code, some of its enactments are still so extremely barbarous, that the feelings of the community revolt at a conviction, and others so lenient that the punishment often bears no proportion to the enormity of the crime. A poor, starving wretch, for instance, may steal a few hams of bacon, or some other property of but little value, and he is publicly tied up to the whipping post to receive the most disgraceful punishment that can possibly be inflicted upon a freeman, and, lost to all shame or self-respect, instead of being reformed, is turned loose UDOll the eoininmiifv in n cioi.. ,.f i 1 J Vfl MIIIIU well fitted for the most desperate crimes. On the other hand, should a public brawler, in a lit of madness, deprive a fellowbeing of that life which it is the privilege of (?od alonoHo take away, he is probably confined a few months in the common jail ol the District, with the full privilege of the whole house, and of every luxury and amusement which his friends may afford him. The only plan for the graduation of punishment to the various crimes is the Penitentiary. It more effectually combines the objects of all punishment, the prevention of crime and the reformation of the criminal, than any other system that has ever been adopted; and what is no small item, it relieves the State from the expense of supporting her criminals. Wherever this system has been adopted it has met with universal favor, lite lalxn, solitary confinement, Instruction, both literary and religious, (for they are generally provided with libraries as well as chaplains,} have had a wonderful effect ill not only reforming the criminal, but in preventing crime, for in the States where Penitentiaries arc established, no criminal escapes his just deserts. The cortaintv nf miniJ.mont - J ? I-?"* ? * ing found by experience to l>e of more importance than its severity, they are invariably convicted, and what i.s still better, ptmished, and better still, often reformed. No fact is better established than that the penitentiary system of punishment is 1 the best that has ever been devised, and ivby our State so studiously refuses to bestow attention to the matter we are at a loss to determine. Wo hope, however, that the press and the people will take the matter in hand and agitate it until the Legislature is forced to yield, or at least until it ascertains from reliable data that the number of criminals in the State will not justify its adoption. Another crying evil, which it would be well for our Grand Jurors to present for the consideration of the Legislature, is the carrying of deadly weapons concealed about the person. In consequence of the great perfection to which the mechanical arts have attained, these murderous instruments are now afforded at so trilling a cost that every school boy, out >f the pocket change which he is allowed by his parent or guardian, can arm himself in the most deadly manner: and as the bare possession of m weapon of ibis description almost invaria-j 1J ir imrvQ n I- ? * ...>!'<? 10 ? ucsiiv in viiu person who habitually carries one to use it, he is prepared, upon the slightest provocation, to deprive his assailant or perhaps innocent , by-standers of their lives. Human life is' too precious to be heedlessly taken, and tho most stringent laws should lie enacted I against a habit by which it is momentarily endangered. Then are other suggestions which we might have made, but we have already transgressed our limits, and perhapa have been engaged in a fruitless effort; we have the consolation, htfWever,of knowing that we have discharged a public trust, and will leave the duty of acting upon thoee more immediately responsible. t Laurenwille Herald.

We learn from a reliable source the following : Some time a go the ordinary.(Gritflith,) of Chesterfield District in this State, wrote to an engraver in Philadelphia, which letter was signed by a man named Smith, of fhe same District, enclosing a #3 note of the Wadcsboro' N. C. Bank, instructing the engraver to strike off n certain number, and to send so many to Hoonaboro' P. O., and Jefferson, in Chesterfield Dist.. and to Hickory Head, in this Dist.. The engraver having received no authority from the Bank, wrote to the President, who, on receipt of the letter, sent ss many unsigned notes lo the engraver, ss Griffith it Smith had ordered. Thaae nnu? tl.? graver then despatched to Griffith, who acknowledged the receipt of them, which letter of acknowledgement the engraver sent forthwith to the President of the Bank. The Cashier was then despatched to Chesterfield C. H.,to arrest the offenders, when they getting wind of it decamped. A man by the name of Evans has also absconded, he, also, having been concerned in some way in the transaction. Griffith is a man of family and had but lately opened a public honse in Chesterfield, at which business we are told he was doing well. Of the others we know nothing.

An intelligent friend, at our elbow says that the Hon. J. A. Woodward is Am choice, and that the talent ami tried patriotism as well as the thorough devotion of that distinguished gentleman to his own State, should give him precedence of all competitors. The above we take from the Greenville Mountaineer, which we heartily endorse.

The Courier and Evening News have kept sullenly silent The Mercury's answer we annei, with the remarks of the Carolinimn. We have only a word or two to say. We in common with the rest of up country Editors, would have been pleased to meet with our Charleston friends, but for our part sod no doubt w e are but declaring the voice of our up-country brethren, if the Charleston Editors consider it such a silly affair, they may stay at home?we care not and only repent having at "any time taken cognizance of their silence. The Pnh CMTntioi. Subjoined in what the Charleston Mercury think* of the contemplated newspaper convention. We are happy to believe ?though had we not read toe annexed paragraph we might have been eilly enough to regret his absence?that the assemblage can transact the business which may come before it without the cynic of the Mercury being there to give dignity to its proceeding*, or tone to i;a deliberations. Too much vinegar spoils a savory dish, and such might be the cooeequenoe of the supercilious representative of the Mercury being with us. on that oocadon: Our Paper. With what alacrity can a man go to work when he knows his efforts are appreciated, This ia illustrated in our case. When we first commenced our labors at Lancaster, we hoped indeed, to be sustainod by the people, but knowing the District to be comparatively small, we did not look to our circulation being in one year as many as five hundred. It is eight months to-day that we launched our little bark, and although our harbor was small to beat about in, our cap tain young, our pilot deaf, and our sailors and cabin boy inexperienced but willing, we caataloosc and steered onward, determined to spare no effort to beat ngninst the breeze, clear every rock and obstacle, and compete with other craft on the ocean of newspaper life. And this, friends and patrons we have done. We now print twenty-five quires, (600 copies) of paper weekly, and the cry is still they come. Scarcely a day passes but we enter the name of a subscriber on our book. This is not all ; common modesty forbids us to speak of the compliments we have received. Wo are glad our friends arc satisfied, and we nssure them our efforts are progressive, t >n the return of our deaf pilot, we expect to hoist up a new sail or two, and placo a streamer on our topmast. We urge yon then to keep on in your laudable efforts. We have some tried friends in I-ancaster Dist., and though grateful, very grate* ful for the past, we request them to keep moving, the more encouragement we receive, the better able will we be to give a better paper. We intend to perfect our arrangements by the first of January, an that it is desirable that those wishing to take passage on our bark, should report themselves as early as possible at the captain's office. We conclude as we commenced?" with what alacrity can a man go to work, when he knows his efforts are appreciated." Postage on the Ledger. For the information of our readers, we state that according to the new pontage law. which went into opperation on the 1st innt. the postage on the ledger is us follows; To any post office in Line aster District, free.

Thk I-aurensville Herald publishes the names ot those papers in favor of establishing the cash s\ stein. Now friend Simpson, we are decidedly in favor of the cash system, but we co-incide with th? v The Editorial Convention.?We, in common with the other presses of Charleston, have been charged with a want of "fraternal feeling" towards our brethren in the country. This charge has originated in our alleged indifference to the proposal of a convention of editors, to be hold in Columbia in December next. Had some definite object been assigned, were it only by way of a social greeting even, or indeed anything whatever, we would have before this come out, for or against it.? But we can see no connection between a srant of "fraternal feeling" and indifference tn -> ...i tee. i i IA-T ? cuiiTuuiiuii wuum; uujtxu^ ii lurCTimu" owed at all, are at best most vague. Nor did we know that we had to choose between the alternative of endorsing such a convention, or of being credited with a deficiency of that very natural sympathy which binds together the sons of one profession. A convention, even of editors, might be, like any other convention, a very silly affair. There are an hundred circumstances, any one of which would make it so, none more surely than its being without an object. Proud as we aro of our calling, we do not for a moment imagine that a convention composed of our brethren and ourselves must of necessity be a thing worth writing about or going to. Incidents of Travel, No. IV. Wk have been requested to continue the " Incidents of our Travel," and therefore proceed to give an outline of what befel us at Barnegatt, after our shipwreck. By way of preface or introduction to this number, we will observe, that it may appear egotistical in us to talk so much about onrself. This is our reason for not publishing a "number" every week, but our excuse is, we only talk about ourself when there is nothing else to be talked of,? so soon as we find by the least intimntion, that our " Incidents " are not welcome to our readers?that moment our pen drops? we cease to chronicle them. Barnagatt Island is about 75 miles from New York?it is a barren waste. Some few families reside there, deriving a support from the proceeds of the sale of dry wood, which is gathered on the main, and taken in little sloops to New York, where it meets rapidly with a purchaser, as does everything else that goes to that mart. Barnagatt is more of a promontory, and in consequenco of the danger to mariners coasting along, a light iuusu is snnca, wnicn in nigiu is always lighted. Horrid tales are told to this day about the early acttlera of Barnagatt. It ia said that they were in the habit of placing false lights on the beach, of dart stormy nights, in order that ships might bs dccovcd and wrecked. and give them an opportunity of realizing something from the pickings the next day. It w.is years ago, of a cold night, when the winds blew, the waves beat, and the lightning flushed, and thunder pealed, that an emigrant ship app;oachcd the coast of the uevv world, hav'n Liverpool some six. tydays. Resides the large number of emigr.nta on hoard, there were several cabin passengers of opulence, who wen on a visit to the U. States. It wss on that night that a hand of fearless desperadoes, bent on plunder, whatever means be used to obtuin it, placed a torch so ns to deceive the captain, and make it nppcar as the Barnagntt light. The ship ? nine dashing onward, and struck. Where was buoyancy was now fear which every moment grew stronger, as death stares them in the face. The^following day was bright and lovely ?the sun shone brightly?the birds warbled their gladsome notes, while fluttering among the branches of the shrubbery so peculiar to the Handy count?but where was our ship and her passengers f I,ook along the bench, and the lifclessr forma, and scattered portions of the wreck will answer the interrogatory. While on Barnagatt, we rambled amongst the Shrubery on the eoast, and at every step, when some protion of a wreck would meet our gaze, we could not but feel angry, yet sorry to see such depr iviiy nnd heartless treachery in the human heart. But we have not yet told what befel us at Barnagatt. After being safely landed on the shore, the next questions were, what shall we do ? It would not do to stay there, so we all coneluded to go over the bay to the main land. W? managed to procure some ox carts to carry our baggage, and then*re-embarked in several small boats. We Isnded on the Jersey coast about sundown, and took quarters at a country inn?and such sn inn?we have never see n one like it since, or eve hsve before. As it had been drizzling, some of the ladies had their handkerchiefs wet, nnd would place them on the backs of the rhairs to dry. In less time than five minutes, they would be gone. Ar.y small srtiplo u/kloli OAllM kaasm^l (STIIWAMI JAIAAIiam it wm dangerous to leave about, for it would certainly be stolen. Poor old Mr. E of Charleston?he was a good ole man. He was a fellow passenger and besides being Infirm from age* he was a cripple, therefore, common human, ity induced us to extend to him a helping hand. We had "fttended to his haggage and all his little matters, and the old man waa cry grateful. Our first move at the Inn was to procure a bed for Mr. E?-?, In which we succeeded. He had gone to bed, and we had his trunk placed under hie bed for safe keeping. The I eat article we placed there wee a large market banket, containing hieeaita and other articles, also, several bottlea of porlar, die.
