But in his natural st*te he is a mild and, inoffensive creature. In this state they live together in large herds of five or six hundred, and each of their companies is always furnished bv faithful sentinels, who give notice of the least danger. Herd* of wild horses are found in Turkey,. China and the Cape of Good Hope; but the mqst beautiful, generous, and swift of the kind are found in Arabia. The Arabs catch them in traps, and try their fieetness andstrength by pursuingthe ostrich : The Arabian horse being the only animal that can keep up with this bird. The Spanish jenet is counted next in value te the Arabias barb; thdy are beautiful, but extremely small. The' Italian horses are fine large animals ; the Danish horses are low and strong; the German horses are small, but the Dutch excel all others, exthe Emrlish. for the draught. The race-horses of England possess the great, est fleetness, and have run an English mile in little more than a minute. The horse was entirely unknown in the new continent till introduced there by the Spaniards. < QUALITY OF MILK. Several crops have been successively filled while milking from one cow, producing the following results ; in every case, the quantity ofcream was found to in. crease in proportion &s the process of milk, ing advanced : in different cows, the pro. portion varied, but in the greater number the excess of cream in the last cup as compared with the first, was as Iff to 1: but, as in some cases the difference was not so much, a fair average might be considered as ten. or twelve to one. And the difference in the quality of the two sorts of cream was no less striking, the I cream given by the first drawn milk be- ] ing thin, white, and without consistence, while that furnished by the last was thick, l ? i 1 c _ i mi _.-n I ouuery, ana 01 a ricn coior. i ne miiK remaining in the different cups presented similar differences, that which was drawn first being very-poor, "blue; and having the appearance of milk "and water, while th^C in the last cup was of a yellowish hue, rich, and tpthe eye and taste resem- I bled cream rather than milk. It appears, therefore, from these experiments, that if, alter drawing seven or eight pints from a cow, half a pint remains in the udder, not only almost as much cream will be lost, as the seven or eight pints will fnrnish, but of such a quality as gives the richest taste and color to the butter. This fact has been corroborated by chemical experiments, and holds good with respect to the milk of all other animals.?blackcrs Essay. How to cook Green Peas.?The common method of cooking this delicious vegetable, by boiling in water, is nearly destructive to its flavor, at least so savs a lady, who has sent as the following method of preparing them for the table, after experience, we must add is a great improvement. ' Place in the Bottom of your sauce pan or boiler, several of the Ian vnt Ka.A a-iln'rl.vrmir peas in the dish, two ounces of butter in proportion to a peck of peas-?cover the pan or boiler close, and place it over the tire?in thirty minutes they are ready for the table.' They can either be seasoned in the pan or after taken out. Water extracts nearly all the delicious quality of the green pea, and is as fatal to their flavor as it is destructive to a mad dog.? New Era/ t :: CONGRESSIONAL. Frofn the irresppndence.of the Charles tori Courier. Washington, July 16'. ' A comprbmise of the Bank question is spoken of hv the friends of that measure who have heretofore differed as to the 1brajwking pswer. It is proposed to mqdify the amendment offered bv Mr. Rives, -a /? . I m A so as to require tne assent or tne otaies to the establishment of branches, but reserving to Congress the power to establish branches, by special law, wherever they may be necessary for tho convenience of the government. Those who objected to Mr. Rives' amendment, as an abandonment of constitutional power, will be reconciled by this provision. It is supposed that the bill, thus framed, will originate in the House and come to the Senate; but the amendment may be offered in the Senate. Mr. Calhoun was to speak yesterday on the Bank question and to o.Jer some amendments, but Mr. Clay moved to take up the Loan Bill. Mr. Calhoun wished to go on with the Bank bill till it 1 was disposed of. Mr. Clay said the state ! of the Treasury was such as to require ! r.c t k;ii i file pawnee ?i uro uutiij uiu> * nv t.v j penditures were at the rate of two millions i a month, and there was hut 8900,000 in ' the Treasury?which would not last a fortnight. Some time would be occupied, too, in obtaining the loan. This led to a sharp conversation be- j tween Mr. Clav, on one side, and Messrs. Calhoun, King, of Ala., Benton and Linn ou the.other, in regard to the delay of business* in the Senate. Mr. Clay spoke of <he rapidity wbth which the business of the House was despatched under the new rules which gave the majority a control of the business of the body, but here, he said, the businests was under the control of the minority.' He also intimated th t he would bring forward a similar nroj j tion for the government ofth? 'vr- nc^> oi j the Senate. His remarks were consid. j ered and replied to !.v the Senators above name t, as meant to introduce the previous question in the Senate and into its quasi committee of the whole. Mr. King said ?

Mr. Clay said the rule of the House which cut off long , epeechcs was very popular?rthe people ' troj'J never complain of such a curtail*' 'v'w meijt of long speeches as was necessary to I the action of Congress on the measures | which the country required. Mr.' Benton and Mr. King both pro| posed to Mr. Clay to take the Bank out of committee on Saturday night, have it printed, and take the final question on it Monday night?rbut. they required that the interval should be devoted to the bill,: The conversation was cut off by the motion of Mr, Berrien to go into Executive session, abouthalf-pasteleven o'clock. Mr. Calhoun opposed the motion, as he, wished to proceed with the B&nkbffl, but being assured thgt the Business was important, he withdrew his objections. The whole of the remainder of the day was passed in secret session. * The House occupied the day with the discussion of the Fortification bill, but it was not disposed of. There is a rumor that Mr. Fox has contingent instructions to ask his passports in case McLeod is sent to trial. Much anxiety is felt here on the subject. Washington, July 17. It is denied here that the British Minister, Mr. Fox, has any instructions, as has been rumored, which will render it neces. sary .for him to take any course of an unfriendly character towards this govern ruent, in consequence of the present aspect of the M'Leod case. It is asserted that the British government will be satisfied with the disposition exhibited by our government in relation to the matter* Our relations with England were alJu. ded to in the debates yesterday, and in a spirit of harmony and patriotism that is auspicious for the public welfare. I make one or two extracts from the discussion. Mr. Cushing, in reply to some remarks of a previous day, from Mr. Rhett, questioned the correctness of Mr. It's position, that the real difficulty between the government of the United Stale? and Great Britain, had arisen nn !er :his Administration. The demand for the ligation of M'Leod was made on the 13th December, nearly three rhonths before the Tate administration went out of pow^r; and Mr. Pickens' celebrated report trcat<jd it as a solemn matter,- presenting an issue of, peace or war. Mr. C expressed his high gratification at the patriotic and honorable tone of the remarks of Mr. Rhett in regard to his readiness to stand by the country whenever its honor should be assailed, and he regretted that the question should ever have been mooted as to what administration it was. under which a national difficulty should have arisen. Bnt as the question had been raised, he tiesired that the facts should be accurately stated and understood. Should a solemn public question grow out of the existing state of things, he trusted the Committee on Foreign Relations would continue to present, as on all such questions it had hitherto presented, an undivided front. Mr. Rhett disclaimed any intention, in the remarks he had made, to impute blame to the present administration, or commendation to that wbich had lately been in power as to this M'Leod controversy; and. under which of them the question had become so serious a matter, was perfectly immaterial In r#?f*?rpnr?p tn lh? lnst*dft. mand of the British government for the immediate release of AfcLeod, Mr. R said?' It was this letter and Mr. Webster's answer to it which constituted-the issue between the two nations; and in relation to that issue it was his own opinion that one- of the two nations must recede, or else & resort to war seamed, inevitable." "Mr. Pickens made* an explanation of the history of his report, and in cbhclitsioq said, he could not entirely agheo' wfth his colleague, Mr. Rhett* in what he had-said as to the issue between the countries being such that one or the* other of them must recede, or sacrifice its honor. .4- * ir * 4 A | He considered the demand by Mr. Fox as having been made in a remarkably cautious manner. The language was guarded ; and he did not consider it as precluding all adjustment of the question without directly abandoning the grounds taken. Great delicacy and caution were | manifest in the choice of language, and Mr. P did not think the government so entirely commi ted as his colleague seem, ed to suppose. He hoped McLeod would be found innocent, and acquitted. But he trusted in God, for the honor and inuto /if Wu' Vnrlr. <JC[/niiutn^r w? wuv v? 4 ?. .. ? (%y and the saacuty of its Juciciary, that he would be cried. Mr. M'Keon suggested that the British government, ifter learning that the judieiary of the State of New York would probably deem it proper to wait the re. suit of 3/cLeod's trial. That government was prudent, and would ponder well the mutual interests of both nation ir. a state of peace. She could not nut knr?V the state of the American moid, and 1 that, armed or unarmed, ve were ready to defend our rights at all times; end ! must be aware that no power on ear:!) could get McLeod out of the hands of the judiciary of the State of New York '.ill he was delivered by due course of law. He expressed his hope that McL H would be ablo to prove an alibi, and so be acquited. And as to the other question of the Caroline, ho did not think it likely to lead to war. He announced his purp?se to pursue the subject from week to week, till he should see some.satisfaction for this outrage on our rigb's. As long as he hnd a seat in Congress he shoula in. sist on the right of New York !u try McLeod, and, if guiltv, to execn'e him; and he should iiieo render all the aid in his power to the present administration, in demanding redress from the Britjsh govornment for the attack nn the C-?r.i!ine. In the Senate, the same subject was remotely alluded to by eevernl memborsMr. Walker said the critical stale .f our relation* with England rendered doubly ? critical "by the late decision of the Su- f preme court of New York-?rendered it necessary to take some steps towards put. t ting the country in t a. stiite of defense, i He did not think the twelve million loan < was necessary for curre nt expenses; but t he would vote forty* With a provision t that the excess should' gj for tlje arma. rnent of fortifications or increase of the navy. .. t The loan bill was taken up in the Sen- t ate and discussed for come hours* when the Senate went into Executive session. i I The House discussed the fortification I bilk and passed an order for taking it I out of committee to-dav, at 2 o'clock* r Washington July, 18th. In the House, yesterday, Mr. Arnold of Tenn., moved to reconsider the reaolution for talcing out of committee, at 2 o'clock, the Fortification kill. He said it was useless for the House to hurry its business. There were breakers ahead. Though the House was prepared to do the business which the people required, yet great obstacles would delay business in the Senate. He had been informed by a distinguished Senator [meaning Clay] that it was doubtful whether the great measure df the sessiidn cotlhf - jtoss. The Virginia doctrines were in thb' ascendant. While Mr. A. was making remarks of this sort, he was repeatedly called to order, and many members interrupting him. The Locos cried out, "God grant it may be so." Mr. Botts exclaimed?" Wait for ten days, and you will find yourself mistaken." Finally Mr. Arnold,, was stopped. The previous question was moved and seconded by the casting vote of the Speaker. The resolution was reconsidered acid withdrawn. Washington, Jul? 18. The Senate has a great deal of executive business hefore it?enough tooccupy it fifteen or twenty days, without standing to any thing else. The close scrutiny, which President Tyler invites into the qualifications and character of fhe nominees, will be fully exerted, in the Senate, in regard to some of the dominations.

On the question of adopting this resolution a debate arose which lasted during the morning hour, and no question was taken.

We would be glad to see it for sale in this Slate. By oar abstract from the proceeding! of Congress it will be seen that the Senate have passed through the work of amending the Bank bill and that it was order, ed to he printed as amended. The final question has doubtless been taken on it before this;?with what result is doubtful. The special committee on the currency in the House have reported their hank hill. The National Intelligencer states that it 15) essentially the same with the Senate's hill. The House, contrary to former custom, is proceeding much more rapidly with the public business than the Senate. It will be seen that it has passed several impor. tant bills. We have seen no conjecture yet as to the time when Congress will probably adjourn. After the bank ques. tion shall be disposed of, both houses will probably hasten to get through the re. maiding business. ??q The New York Journal of Commerce states on the authority of a distinguished member of the bar in that city, that the decision of the Supreme court in the CJu?e of MeLeoil is not sustained by the general voice of the profession in the city. Population of the U. St ates.?The population of the United 8tatos ha* increased within a fraction of 34 per cent, every ten years since the first census was taken in 1790.

The more nUmersua and respectable the crowd which composed the mob the more severe punishment they deserve; because the example of crime is dangerous in proportion to the influence of those who commit it. If the laws in Kentucky are insufficient to punish an attempt to commit murder the proper remedy is to amend them. Let a mob infuriated by were ex parte representations and public rumor be allowed to take vengeance according to the impulse of their feelings, and no man's life is safe.? The leaders of the mob may themselves be the next victims. most extraordinary transactionsummary execution by the populace. The facts that a drover of Kentucky, named Utterback, had been nearly mur I t 1 i! 4 A dared, and roDoeo, ana4 cnai two men named Maythe and Couch had been arrested on suspicion of being the perpetrators of the outrage, were published in cur paper last week; and we now learn that both the accused have already fallen victims of popular wrath, by execution, without trial or even indictment, and while their victim was still alive; and the possibility of his recovery existed. These extraordinary facts were communicated to the Cincinnati Republican by a highly respectable citizen of Kentucky, who had the details of the transaction from several persons who witnessed them; and from (bat paper we gather the following partic. ulars. At the time of the execution, the prisoners had been in confinement in the jail in Williamstown, Grant county, Ky., on the above charge. Mr. Utterback, if seems, has been lingering in a miserable state?his throat having been shocking!) mangled?at a tavern some throe or foui miles beyond Williamstown, on a much travelled road, and an object of cora.niser ation with every passer by. He is a citi zen of Bourbon, the adjoining county tc Grant, and where the excitement hai been increasing ever since the attempt t( ***?irder him. It being problematical however, whether Mr. Utterback mighi not survive?although in such restore! situation as to he neither useful to him self nor fellow men?the uncertainty in creased whether the utmost penalty of thi law would be visited upon the prisoners nothing less than which, it seemed, wouh pacify the people of Bourbon. Many o the citizens of that county, therefore, de liberately resolved upon the summarj execution. They first deputed ten citi zens of the county to visit Williamstown and inform the citizens of the place, am the prisoners particularly, that at such i time the prisoners were to be executed This notice wns thirty-six hours previou* lO I lie awiuai C*bl>UIIVUt VIIU u v.v< ...... was alao sent, and actually went to th< prison, for religious converse with the prisoners. On Saturday, in pursuance of the no tice, about 500 citizens of Bourbon, t< which were added some from Scott an< Harrison counties, went into Williams town in solemn procession and most per feet order. They had chosen their sher iffs to act for the occasion, and pro ceeded to the jail, and demanded the pris oners, Maythe and Couch. The sherif of Grant refused to give them up, or th< keys of the prison: he offered however n< other resistance, and the people at one broke open the doors. They then tool the prisoners, placed them in an npei wagon, their irons on them, took up thei line of march without the least noise o confusion, totbespot ofground where th< murder was attempted, about four mile distant. By this time the number as sembled was believed to have been a least two thousand. After arriving on th< ground, Mr. O'Hara, a member of the bar addressed the people for some time upoi the propriety of permitting the law ti take its course. He was listened to witl the utmost silence and respect, but with out apparently altering the determinate of. a single person present. The prelim inaries were then adjusted and the pris oners asked if they had anything to sr.] previous to the closing of their earthl; accounts. One of them, Maytho, ad dressed a few remarks to the people, ad mittinir the commission of the act fa """"O ? which they were to suffer, denying, how ever, that it was his wish to commit ac tual murder. Religious service was the performed by a clergyman present, an Waythe and Couch were hung in thei irons upon a tree standing over the ?am spot where their crime was committed.-' Rude coffins were constructed and tlier they were buried. The crowd then did persed in the same perfect order. When we add, that one of the crimin als, Maythe, has been long known b; many citizens of Ohio and Kentucky a a man of notoriously bad character?hav ing been confined at different times am escaped from the penitentiaries of botl ?we have stated all the facts am whatever there may be of a palliating na ture in this case.
