Mr. Van Burcn is now in Indiana,
having passed slowly through Kentucky
and O.wo, since his visit to Gen. Jacki
son.

The Highland Sentinel, published in '
Anderson Diatrict, states that a fellow
4P- named tfernaru, who bad been imprisoned
in that District two years for bigamy, lias
since married two women, lie trave's
ir. the guise oi a Methodist preacher and
dentist. I
A fellow named James 1> Bruce is now
confined in St. Louis jail waiting (rial for
passing a forged check to a house in that
town; in regard to which said Bruce, we
gather from the St Louis Republican and
the Raleigh Star, the following particulars
: during the Presidency of Gen. !
Jackson he was convicted of rohbinjr the
I
mail at Milton, N. C., whilst Post Master :
at that place, and sentenced to three 1
years imprisonment in jail. Gen. Jack,
son through the influence of an uncle, a !
Senator in Congress, pardoned hi in.?
Some time afterwards he made his appearance
in Maysville (Kv.) with a splendid
and richlv caparisoned grey charger,upon
which he often displayed his fine person \
in the streets, and by this and other means
made so deep an impression iij?on the heart
oj a rich young widow that ill less than
three mouths after she first saw Itirii. she
consented to heroine his wife. The next
dimmer they spent partly at Saratoga,
and other places of fashionable resort, and
partly on a visit to her relatives in Pitts. I
burg. Hut on their retain to Mavsviile. I
O
his wife heard of the story of his having
rohhed the mail, and without naming it to
him, addressed a letter to Gov. Chambers,
then a member of Congress from
"nhat district, requesting hint to inquire
into the facts and communicate thcrn to
her; which he did. Whereupon Mr.
Hruce was, at night, very politely escorted
to a steamboat at the whatf, (by whom
the deponents* say not.) and advised not
lo shew himself again in Mavsvillc. The
advice he has thus far religiously ohserved.
The next account is his marriage to
another widow in Scott county, (M?*.)
whose property he managed to convert |
into ?"20,000 cash, and then decamped i
under suspicion of other transactions cognizable
by the criminal law. We next
hear of him in St. Louis jail for passing
the aforesaid forged check. How many
more widows of susceptible hearts and
heavy purses he is destined to captivate
this deponent pretendelh not to prophei
bv.
At a recent examination of candidates
for surgeons in the navy there were 32
candidates, of whom 17 were rejected,
that is, two more than one half. Of these ;
17 all except one were graduates of dif- j
ferent Medical Colleges in the I nited
States. Evidence this of the wretchedly
low standard of education in our Medical
Colleges. The colleges are so numerous
and the competition among them for
large classes so great that many if not
most of them are afraid to conduct their
examinations as rigidly as thev ought, or
O ? r O '
withhold diplomas from those who attend
the required courses of lectures and spend
^ the required lime in study or in pretending
to study, lest pupils may give the preference
to other institutions where it mav he
easier to procure degrees. We know of no
Medical College in the country whose
standard is so high and their examinations
so rigid that their diploma confers honcr
on a young physicianThe
abolitionists in the city of New
^ ork have lately hern sorelydistrecited at
tne *? timidity oi a slave, the property of
of Algerinos or French colonists; Austria, i
thirty millions, composed of Germans, i
Hungarians, Italians, and Illyrianns;
Prussia, about fourteen to fifteen millions
of Germans. <
The apportionment bill.?This hill
as it finally passed both Houses of Congress
will reduce the number of the House i
from 242, as it now stands, to 223. If it
i
were reduced to 150 the country would in
many respects be greatly the gniner.?
The following are the members to which >
the bill entitles the states severally :
I Mrs. Burke of New Orleans, who refused I
freedom at their hands. She had been
carried to New York by her mistress who i
went on to that city on a visit to her relatives.
The abolitionists hearing of it had ,
her carried by writ of habeas corpus before \
Judge Oakly, when she was informed by j
the judge and the counsel employed, that
according to the laws of that State she had
a right to freedom, and that she might
cither remain there or return with her
mistress as aslave to New Orleans. Be- j
fore she gave a decided answer seeing |
that she was likely to decide in favor of!
returning to New Orleans the "gentlemen
n n
of color" hurried her off by force; hut she j
escaped from them that night and fled to j
her mistress, whom she could not be in- j
duced to leave again.
In Pcnsacolu, a case was lately submitted
to a jury in which a man had sued ,
for damages sustained in assault and bat-j
tery. Eleven of the jurors were for
assessing the damages at 6 1-4 cents, and j
the twelfth at 83. Some of the eleven, j
as they could not beat theirown judgment |
into fhe head of the twelfth by arguments, '
undertook to do it with their fists. Ilis
Honor, not having before his eves the j
fear of the Jackson code of politics, which !
allows every officer to administer the law j
as he understands it, gave the fellows bed j
and board for a season in one of the j
opaque grated out houses of Uncle Sam's '
daughter.
The House of Representatives have
again adopted the one hour rule, which :
will greatly expedite business for the re- i
mninder of the session. The practice [
into which so many of the members had j
got of speaking not for the purpose, or j
with any expectation, of influencing the !
votes of members in the House, but for the j
purpose exclusively of influencing the !
elections at home, led to the useless con. {
sumption of so much of the time of the
House that this or some other remedy
became indispensable. Yet tbe precedent
is not without danger.
During a recent visit to the principal !
nothern cities nothing which we saw or >
I
heard serins to us more remarkable than j
the wonderful progress of the Temper- j
a nee reformation. In the city of New
?
York the first signature to the Washing- |
ton pledge was made in March 1841. j
At that tune the number of licensed houses
in the city for retailing spirituous j
liquors was nearly 3000. It is now less i
than 1300 nud licence is nercr refused |
when applied for. About 80 public j
meetings in favor of Temperance are held j
weekly in the city, and The average j
nur??l>er of new signatures to the pledge j
per nigh* at this time is about 100. We ;
attended one of the meetings. It num. j
red probably 2000-?certainly over
i500, and was one of the tnost animated
meetings we ever saw any where; whilstat
the .same time every thing was done
decently and in order. In Brooklyn, a
town of about 20,000 inhabitants, across
what is called East River from the city,
tbr mmntitv of ^rain consumed in dis- !
"1 -' o
t tileries eighteen months ago was estima- ;
ted to equal the total amount consumed
in the city of New York, for food bv man
and heast. Now it is reduced to almost ;
nothing. The distilleries have all been j
discontinued except two.
During our absence w-i conversed with '
persons from all parts of the country, and
the changes which they represented to
have taken place almost evury where exceeded
our expectations almost as much j
as did those in i\ew lork, ami in some
places even more. The first Washington j
Tcm.xsrance Society was formed in Balti- !
more in April 1840. To its influences are
all these changes to he ascribed, and that ,
in the brief space of I.ttle more than two j
years.

The following letter, from an overseer
to his employer, a ineiultcr of Congress | j
gives an amusing picture of 'cxperiinen- j
lal farming," and will, no douht, be recognised
as any thing hut fancy sketch. '
"Geor., Co. Marched, 1842. ,
Sir; I have the botmr to inform you
that tilings here have gone on prcttv '
much in the old way since my last. - !
There is nothing new. hut I regret to say , ,
that the sow you sent from Philadelphia j i
i* dead. Twenty, live of the lambs, out ]
of forty, are dead. One of the. colts is,1
dead. The two I), caives which you j j
sent to mc are dead. I have been wait- I j
ing for the rye to come up, that I might !
sow the clover seed you sent from Baiti- j
more, hut alter all it would'nt grow, so I j]
ploughed it up and set the ground in oats, '
and hope to get a crop if the seasons turn | ,
out tine. We had a freshet two week* J
ago, that carried away one hundred and jl
fifty-panels lence, and the hands a^e ail |(
engaged in doing up the fence. Ben injured
his knee, in mauling rails, and has ,
hecn unable to work since the 23d Feb.
ruary. As Emelina was tending on the '
cart, she fell from the top of it, and injur, j
ed her shoulder so much that she can't I .
1 I
stir. As for the wheat, there is scarcely ,?
any appearance of it, and tho best thing;
we can do will he to plough up the land !
f??ul put it into corn, hut I shall wait' your
orders. All other maIters arc going on ;
equally weli. Now, sir, I have given |
you a fair account of what we arc doing, j(
and must say that I have done every j I
thing in my |>ower to please you; and if j ]
you don't like tjic way I've gone or., you j I
will send me my walking papers as soon I 1
as possible, as I don't like to he blamed
when I conduct right, to the best of my }
knowledge. Yours, respectfully. ! i
jVota Bene.?The fodder is all gone, j
and there won't he half enough corn to
: 1
last us til1 the gras-?. Please not to forget j,
to send on some money in time." i
It is necessary to say that the a^ove J
account of his farming operations \Va3 f'
highly satisfactory to our friend, who very 1
good nuturedly, in answering the letter, j
expressed his belief that the overseer had <
attended to Iris business, and, as he seem-? !
I
ed to have obeyed orders in every thing,'
he requested liiin to remain where -heI,
was until fault should be found with him
for neglect of duty. j
Some of our readers may think that the' ,
above is a fiction, hut we assure them ; j
that, as the writers of stories say, the let- i
ter is? founded on fact;' and we doubt 1
not, the experience of many of our j
friends who farm at a distance, will hear |.(
witness to the probability of the talc." ' i
EARTHQUAKE AT OONAtVES.
Cant. Varina, of the brig Pandora, at j
Boston, states that the earthquake of the^
U'ao ut (winnivpu The inhabit, i
ants rushed into the streets, and so saved i
their lives. Only two were killed.
" He states further that there were four j
distinct shocks in the course of a minute,
two of them horizontal and two of them
perpendicular, and at each he judges the
earth moved about six feet.
Nearly all the buildings were destroyed,
and the few left standing were of wood,
and so shattered as to he useless; they
would be taken down. Most of the build
ings at G on lives were of wood, and only
one storv, which would account for the
small loss of life. CapE'V. nfso informs
us fhat Port nu Paix ami St. Ja^o, at the
north, met flro snroe fate ni Cape,
flaytcin, not a stone bein? left standing
on another, and two thirds of the inhabitants
destroyed.

The British war-steamer, Rnodamanthus,
arrived at Halifax on the 15th instant, with
despatches for l^ord Ashburton, and orders for
the Waraprite to proceed to the Mediterranean.
The special messenger to liord Ash.
burton came from Halifax in the Briuuiia,
and it is rumored that his despatches are of
importance.
Many more arrests have been made at
Paris of persons supposed to be implicated in
the late attempts upon the Jife of the King.
The British appear to be making immense
preparations for the prosecution of the war in
China and India. No lees than 50,000stand

ATTEMPTS tl?O.V THE LIFE OF T1IE QUEEN OF
KKULAM).
Another midman, or a monster without
the excuse- of madness, has attempted the assination
of the Sovereign of the British Km.
pirc? At six o'clock on Monday evening, as
Her Majesty, accompanied by Prince Albert,
was reurniog to tho Palace, in an open barouche,
with outriders, an assassin presented
a pistol arrd discharged it at the Queen, from
which Oxford fired. The wretch was instantly
seized by a soldier of the Scotch FusiIcer
Guard. He was at first supposed to be a
furnirrnor hut if aooears. uiihannilv. that he is
.w. v .s... ., r i , , .
an Englishman, named John Francis, son of a
scene shifter at one of the theatres, lie is
about 'JO years of age.
The royal cortege, when the pistol was
discharged, was fortunately proceeding at a
rale rather more rapid than usual, and to that
circumstance, it is supposed, Her Aiaj^s'y, in
a great measure, owes the preservation of her
ife, as Francis was seen by a police constable
to take deliberate aim. The act had
been noticed by Prince Albert, who sit on
the right hand of his royal consort, and who
immediately rose from his seat. He pointed
out the miscreant to one of the outriders, when
the royal servant got off his horse to assist in
hia apprehension, but, lindmg him secure in
custody, again followed his royal carriage.
A rtsphctable woman states that, just before
the attempt, she heard the prrsoner aay
to another man in a flannel jacket, "The
Queen i why should she be such an expense
to the nation I It is to support her iit such
grand style th.it us poor fellows have to work
hard."
The barrel of the pistol was qtrite warm
when taken from the prisoner. Of course, at
present, there cannot be any evidence as to
whether it was loaded with balta or slugs, but
Ihe jmpreosion is, that it was loaded with a
i?i
L/au.
It appears that an attempt also had been
made upon her Majesty's life on Sunday. A
Mr. Pearson states that, on Sunday, about 2
[/clock, while walking in Sr. James's Park,
hp saw the carriage, containing her Majesty,
Prmp? A41bert, and suite, approaching from
Lite Chapel Koyal, and when m-ar the httio
^ate leading out of the drive into the Greek
park,. he,saw a young man, who was standing
near hiin, with his back to the rails, pull a
pistol 6ut of his breast, and, as the Queen's
carriage passed, present at it. buf who: her he
pulled the trigger he could not toll,

TRIUMPH OF SOUTHERN MECHANICS.
Wc have learned with ^reat pleasure, that
the Charleston. and Columbia Rail Road
Company, after trying the best Steam Engines
that could be obtained from abroad,
'?avc d scovered that they can hare better
Engines manufactured in South Carolina, and
iy native Mechanic*, than they can obtain
iny where else."' The Company has its En- |
jinea now inanufactu-ed in Charleston, and j
the head workman is a native of Charleston.
This speaks well for Carolina enterprise and
in !ustry?
And while on this subject, we would advert
to another and kindred branch of industry,
in the upper part of this State. We have
3een at Messrs. Folock &, Solomon's Store,
in'Columbia, a very large assortment of Nails,
Iron, &c., from the Nesbitt Iron Works in
Spartanburg District. We understand that
the Mechanics who have used these nails
and iron, say they arc of the very best quality,
and that no better can be obtained. And as
3n evidence ofthe high reputation of the iron,
as well as the workmanship at that Factory, j
(he GOvernriYcfit has contracted with the!
Company to manufacture Cannon Balls for
the use ofthe Army and Navy.

?A Heroine.?About 8 o'clock last

was crossing the MjjJ Dun Bridge
in n buggy wagon with his wife, mother
and child, when near the Broolcline
. !)rr>rvch road, he was accosted by a man I
who presented a pistol and demanded his ,
jnon^y or life.
Mr. Iliirnhnm gave up his money. 1
amounting to five or six dollars. The
robber then demanded the money of the i
others. Mr. RurnharrTs wife gave up!
her's, but his wife's mother resolutely re- j
fused to accede to the demand of the rob-1
her, and told him to take her life if he !
chose. 1
The robber then gave up further par L
ley, and ran as fast as he could towards
Brighton. Mr. iturnhatn returned io inc
tavern on the mill Jam attd gave the i
alarm, and people went on hoiseback in

robber.
This is the third robbery wh'ch b is i

I The Semi Annual Examinalion of the j
' Studen'aof the South Carolina College

! Rho de Island.?The Providence Chroni
icle of last evening contains a cock and-n j
j -bull-story about Mr. Thomas Wilson I
; Dorr, his movements and intentions, !
j which may perhaps create some alarm
; among the spinters of Rhode Island?
I which alarm, however, will be altogether
unnecessary. It is said, among other j
things, that several attempts have been ;
! made to arrest Mr. Dorr in this city?all !
Of which he has looked down in the m?wt
valiant manner.
One of these attempts, according to the
st< ry, was made by a party of five or six.
j all from Rhode Island. But Mr. Dorr
brought them to their bearings by a look',
and they sneaked off", while he marched j
i proudly away ! Most valiant Rhode Is'
landers these! And pray why die! Mr. |
j Dorr coine away from home, if there Hre
such terrors in his eye ? A man who can
thus * look down all opposition," might I
aa-urodly have taken, that a/sen a I, 'tthhfc/\'

I * *_ h
But this is not all. According to the i
accounts of the Chronicle?which, by the |
way, are compiled in chief from papers
in this city, with the sight of which we j
are not blessed?Mr. Durr has been h ?nored
with a splendid dinner in New York, |
at which there were five hundred gentle- ;
men?who drank, and sang, and joked
away with each other to their hearts'
content. Why did they not send to us
for uthe sword", which yet graces our
counting-room, and which ought to have
n o
been among the trophies decorating the
I banquet ??The upshot of the whole story
i<?, that, having been to Trenton, from
which place he has doubtless come back
with a flea in his ear, Mr. Dorr is to reappear
in Rhode Island in about a week,
where, enthroned in the hearts of the people,
he is to assume the government,
establish his consti:ution, and restore
1 quietness and peace in the most exemplary
manner!
So much for the latest news. The ;
simple truth we suppose to be, that Mr. 1
! Dorr is in this city, quartering upon his
friends at Tammany Hall. He was at J,
one of the Democratic palaces up town
yesterday morning, after having breakfasted
heartily with an old ex-office holder;
and will probably moisten his salmon and
j marrowfat peas with champagne lo-uav,
I with some other dear friend of the people, ;1
whose patriotism has enabled him to indulge
in those luxuries. Who would'nt
