In Virginia, tho spirit of public improvement atill progresses. A subscription lias lately been ?ffit,$nfoot for the estabti&huiont of a Museum at Richmond, under tike direction of Mr. James \Varrcll, an artist of some eminence, from a per ' sonul acquaintance with the superior talent* and enterprising genius of whom, wc anticipate with no less confidence than satisfaction the speedy accomplishment of an object which will add one more ornament to that beautiful city, and do ho nor to the liberal polloy of our sister State.? The Legislature of Virginia hns encouraged >t? by giving it a foundation, on the Public Square?-If the munificence of tho citizens bo adequately exerted, (says the Daily Compiler) it must grow into r.

An important question was lately decided by the District Court of Pennsylvania Involved in several actions bro't by tlio U. 8. against the distillers of Lancaster county, for withholding payment of ther duties as claimed by the United States. The ground taken was that the distil ler is not liable to pay duty on the quantity of spirituous liquors he distills and sells, but on the portion of alcohol or deptegmated spirits contained in that quantity of liquor, separating the water from the alcohol and excludihg all but the pure spirit from the account in estimating the duties to be paidw*?After considerable pro* gross had been made In one'of the cases, in con* ?eque^iceof iih intimation'from the judge that the defendants' ground was untenable, they very properly abandoned it* without further effort to withhold payment of the duties. His Excellency, Mr. Pedcrsen, envoy extra, ordinary from the government of Denmark to the United States, has, among his other important functions, interested himself in establishing a proper understanding between tho literary and scientific characters of die two countries. In Now-York,the honorable efforts of this gentle* man have been aided by James B. Murray, Esq. Dr. Mitchell, and Mr. Hammeken, the consul general. A ship which lately sailed for Blsineur and Copenhagen carried with her, consigned to the particular care of the captain, the despatches destined to open this amicable intercourse. They aro more particularly addressed to the Royal A. cadcmv of tfciences, and to the Royal Society of Medicine, patronized by his Danish Majesty. The ship Belle, lately arrived at New-York, brought a select and splendid suite of Mineral Specimens front Klba. They consist of the chiil - (fljfdonlcs, quartzes, amianthuses, mid iron ores of that famoua Island. This littlo cabinet was received from one of Bonaparte's officers, by CtoriictiilsC.

I was born and raised in this District, and though a very poor man, there is not 4 tracts of 1000 acres each, that I would own and be compelled to live on, for cither of them i the whole does i* jt exceed 1.10,000 ucrcs, and I think it far less?moat of it is barren mountains which never can be cultivated?& the quantity & value of the lands have been so much exaggera ted l>y those who are favorable, froiu whatever tnntivo, to a division of the district. Our dis trict it is true, is very large, but the lauds are very poor, and the population widely disncrsed. It now holds an honorable rank, but a division of it, in my opiuion, would be of more injury than .eal benefit to tho citi/.ens of the present district?When the Cherokee* do relinuuish all claim to the lands lying in the chartered limits of thisfttnte, there will bo a piece added which of itself is nothing worth, but which will subsist many of the poorer sort who live rather by hunt ing (han labor, ami then and not till then ought our district to be.diHunitcd?-All I wish is that the truth should appear und that fairly stated.
