We have hud an undefined suspicion that t ie President would, in some way or other, render the doposite hill nu 'ory. We have not been enabled to sire in what legal and constitutional way the provisions of the bill could be set aside, but this has not weakened our fears, that a solemn act of Congies-;, signed by the President, and the measure lieMofore recommended by him, will be by Execuivc interference rendered a dead le;ter. The last report is, that in ihe annual message. Congress is to be ear-! nustly invoked to repeal the act, and that j flirty tactics are to bo enforced in order to I carry the repeal.

Steam Communication iciflt England.?We j are told that a new steam engine has been in- 1 vented in this State, which will require only! one sixth as much coal as those now in use, ] and at the same time possess equal power. An intelligent friend who has some knowledge of i this invention, expresses his entire confidence . in its success. Should the result equal his expectations, the only remaining obstacle, of a serious nature, to steam communication with England and other transatlantic countries, ' will be removed. But be this as it may, we j have arrived at very nearly the point of, time'when the crossing of the Alantic by stearn j will b*? undertaken as a rej'i'ar business.

Some benevolent i "friends of the colored race" in Boston recently sued out a writ of Habeas Corpus for a , slave, and going on board a vessel in the har. bor where she was with her master's family announced to her the joyful intelligence that | they had come to free her. But, to their dis; apjKiintment, she refused to be freed. All i j their arguments and persuasions availed noth- J i ing. They could not convince her that their j ' kind offer and honest purposes could render j i her less free from the wants of the present or ; # I cares for the future than she now is. It is suggested in the Baltimore Patriot that i ; the U. S. Bank of Pennsylvania will probably j j surrender to the next session of the Legisla- i j lure of that State its charter, and apply for a j j charter to some other State where it will have | to encounter less opposition. j The remedy still effectual. Two gentlemen I in Philadelphia finding their honor in need of a j purifier, went over into Delaware and fired j gun powder at each other. They returned j ! home purified and unhurt. A single applica- i j tion was sufficient. I __ I The Constitution of N. Carolina contains ! the following provision: "If vacancies shall occur, by death, resignation or otherwise, In-fore the meeting of the General Assembly, writs may be issued by the i Governor under such regulations as may be prescribed by law." An act passed by the last session of the j Legislature provides: I' "That in all vacancies that may hereafter i! occur by death, or otherwise, brforc the meeting of the General Assembly and being noti- ; tied thereof, as aforesaid, it SHALL BE ] THE DUTV OF THE GOVERNOR TO iJ ISSUE A WRIT OF ELECTION to the ! Sheriff or Sheriffs, of the county or counties wherein such vacancy shall have occurred commanding him or thein to hold an elec- . tion, &c. Now a vacancy has^ccurred in the Sena- j torial District composed of the counties of Per- { quimons and Pasquotank, by the death of Jesse j?' Wilson : vet Gov. Soaisrht refuses to issue a : j writ of election to supply the vacancy. Gov. I' S. is a Van Buren man, and the Senatorial J i district is Whig, and what makes the case ( morejmportant, tlie Legislature is so nearly ? divided that a single vote mav decide the ' ? c election of U. S. Senator in the Legislature, ^ next winter. t The Richmond Enquirer says: "The Whig affects to think, if Van Buren j a i>e made President, and Johnson V. 1'., that J1 ive shall have the family of Johnson at Wash- j f ington, &c. He does not believe it himself? I lie knows better. Johnson will only pass the j t vinter there as he does tunc?and then return, J c ifter the session. He has never taken any r me to Washington with him?nor will he <1 hen." v So the self styled 41 Democratic Republi- { ^ - 1--. ? a rans" are endeavoring to eieci a man iu mu Vice Presidency who, according to tlieir own shewing, must keep liis family away from the ? seat of Government lest thev disgrace the i 1: :oantrv. J ^ i(l 1i: Tlie New Vurk Commercial Advertiser in j an article on the present extraordinary scarci- a Iv of monev in that citv savs; j11 The fact is, and it cannot be denied,that the t principal reason of distress, is owing to the Government undertaking to meddle with the (: currency of the country. They have derang- ! edit from one end to the other. The gold 1 j humbug with all others, have utterly failed. | x The Revenue of the country lias been diverted ! ^ from its legitimate channel. It has been ac- j cumulated in certain Banks for the benefit of j j the party! Another cause of the distress is, that certain men have a large ]K?rtion of this i immense treasure, while the merchants at j large do not, nor have not participated in. f Tins money must be returned, and although it will cramp these individuals when it is dis- ; trihuted, as Congress wisely ordered, the mar- | ket will be in some measure relieved. We, ' j however, have no expectation of seeing things j j restored to their proper channel, until this ad- j ministration is put out of j>ower. j ( The reader is referred to the note of ex- j j changes under our commercial head as evi- :< denee of the egregious folly of the present Xa- J1 tional Administration in undertaking to "regu- jj late the currency of the country. j, The election to the Presidency of a man who j I was so little of a statesman as Genl. Jackson, j and the continued popularity of his adminis- ! tration, notwithstanding the constant sue- | cession of its gross blunders, affords a melan- 1 ... i cho'v evidence of the fitness of tne American 1 J i i people for self government. t j ? - j The medical committee of tiie Charleston ; ' | Board of Health announce that the Cholera has entirely ceased in that city.

Editor,?A trial of some interest was , th had in the Court of Sessions at the last term j ve for Anderson District, S. C. As it has, been i an supposed that a public notice of some of the in-1 us cidents might by possibility, lead to further disclosures, you are at liberty to use the followmg statement: i A Surgeon Dentist bearing the name of Al- j ra dis Brainard was arrested during the month of Pa August last, in the Vilage of Anderson, on a ! charge of Polygamy. He was accompanied I by an interesting young Lady to whom he had q been married a few days previously, in the j ge District of Edgefield. After various devices j ^ to procure his discharge, both before the com-1 ^ mitting Magistrates and His Honor Judge ; Cf) Earle on a writ of Habeas Corpus, he was nevertheless detained and received his trial as be- j fore stated, which resulted in his conviction. : hi It appeared by mean? of a forged certificate of PJ his membership in a Church in the town of cc Boonsboro' Maryland, he had procured admission into a Church in Augusta, Geo. which together with his exterior as a gentleman, Qf procured him an introduction to a high-y res-1 ij( pectable acquaintance. He was skilful in his j w profession, and gave external evidences of i 0f great piety and devotion to the cause of Re- j tji ligion.

Circumstances which it is not necessary to relate, led to an investigation in the jn Church ot his conduct, which eventuated in | ov his prompt expulsion. An inquiry after him [ ^ by name, a description of his person, induced by his certificate, led to the further disclosures, that the certificate was a forgery; that the Bv same man under the name of Charles Berdeau tv had been married in October ot the proceed- th ing year, to a Lady of respectability in that a town, who was still living; that he had left her temporarily on a visit to the South on the business of his profession ; was in constant corres- " pondence with her during his stay in Augusta ev nvor the sifmature of Charles Berdeau, in ? - o -- ^ ^ . strains of great and devoted affection and piety f during the very time in which he was making j M suit to the young Lady whom he afterwards j of married. In June preparatory to the celebra-! m tion ofhis nuptials under the latter engagement j in Augusta, he left for New York, further to : replenish his stock in the way of teething others j ? leaving as Dr. Brainard, and is in a few days ' after found in Boonsboro' as Dr. Berdeau, who | had returned to acquaint an anxious wife with ' the splendid prospects of wealth and comfort ^ M< which were in reserve for them in a beautiful i Ti and pleasant Southern city; that it was neces-1 \Y sarv for him to go to Europe, however, to lay , Th in the necessary supplies in prosecution of his j Fr business in a style suited to his reputation and i prospects. He took his leave for Europe by , the way of New York from which latter place j 55 he embarked for Charleston and Augusta and ! ?arly consummated his engagement with the ! hapless, and too confiding young Lady who ; was awaiting his return. * By the indefatigable exertions of her elder ! arotner, this impostor and consummate villain 1 Bj las been brought to justice at great expense I :o himself individually, and inconvenience to a i Bu rentleman who attended the trial of Brain- i Bo lrd, and had been present at his former marlage in Maryland. Brainard is now the soliary tenant of one of the dungeons in the jail of ?0! Ynderson. The punishment being line and ~?' mprisonment for the first offence in South Jarolina, His Honor Judge Richardson, after 1 i very impressive enumeration of the leading pc. ncidents in his case, and solemn denunciation j,'0! ?f the offence and its consequences, sentenced hj, limto pay a fine of one thousand dollars, and ?c imprisoned two years. , Iro ***** 1 lid Since his conviction, he declines to furnish J4"' my information of his early life.
