CIRCULAR.?When the managers laid before the public the Scheme for Class E, of the Alexandria Lottery, (which is how withdrawn and the the accompanying Scheme substituted in its place) the country was in a: state .of great prosperity; aud they felt warranted in risking the result of so heavy a Scheme, however limited in amount the sale might be?the suspension of specie payments by the Banks, and the general derangement of tho internal exchanges throughout the Union, that subsequently took place, induced the managers to postgone the day of drawing to the 23d of Tepteinber next, before which lime, it wan hoped, a more favorable state of things would be brought about But as the internal exchanges have been getting worse instead of better, andas no reasonable hope can be now,/indulged of an immediate amendment, the managers are compelled to announce the withdrawal of the Scheme heretofore published for Class E of the Alexandria Lottery, Capital Prize 75,000 dollars. .The postponement of this Scheme, having met with approbation at the time, the managers truRt that the withdrawal of it now will only be considered an act of prudence demanded by the state of the times. j * The public aro aware that the only drawback in favor of the managers ie the 15 per cent.bn prizes which is to provide for the payment of the lottery contracts, all commissions, expenses, and the risks and hazards to be run. Until the state of the . country is such, that the transmission of funds from one point to another can be done at reason, able rates, and thus enable the managers to concentrate funds for the prompt payment of heavy prizes, tney do not feel justified in running .unwarrantable risks by the drawing of extraordinary ^Schemes* The reasons arc so many and obvious, that they are persnaded the propriety of this course will he readily admitted. It is the intention however of tho managers so soon as internal exchanges are re-est&Dlished, to re-issue the Scheme now withdrawn, or others equally as brilliant.

Sensible of the dt?ep interest which must he felt throughout the Union in the peooeedings of a new Congress, convoked by the new administration, to meet the extraordinary emergencies which have arisen since the close of General Jackson's term of service, the undersigned have already made prepationa to furnish their annual report in the form of a Congressional Globe. As these succe.-sive publications comprise a full and faithful r<cord<6f all .that is done in Congress?sketches of the attendant discussions, with an Appendix containing the finished speeches prepared by the members themselves?.tney^, a re suited not only to gratify the curiosity oi the hour, to inform the distant c tnstitue.ncy. of the part "performed by their immediate representatives, and of the result of the labors ol I all; butr we donbt not, they will be found pcrma: nently useful as the most authentic,complete, and convenient parliamentary-, record _of our times. This undertaking h ving, with these views, been liberally patronized by the public, it is our purpose to justify this early and continued favor by.increasing the strength of our corps of Reporters at the next fall and winter Sessions.. The Fall Session will be looked to by the country to settle all that has been unsettled by. the overthrow of the system of Deposites as established by Congress? the overthrow of the currency as established by the Constitution?and the overthrow of the system of revenue, both .:<s a means of adequate supply for present demands, the..maintainance of manufactures, and the regulation of commerce. Every thing of pecuniary interest to the Government and ihe nation will be involved in the discussions of the next Congress; and.it was because the President would not have those all important subjects left to Executive discretion a moment beyond the time/when a full Congress could be summoned, that the September session was convoked . The machinery of government, even when thrown out bf gecr, must continue to work >. but when so disordered, its movement may be. driven in a wrong direction. ? 'I'he Representatives of the people are alone competent to set all to rights. No Demo- . cratic Chief Magistrate would continue, in the condition of things at present existing, to substitute Executive expedients for clearly defined law springing front the public will.

A SERMON ON TALEBEARING. 'He that repeatetk a matter eepcrateth very friends." There is a class of people every where to be found, who under pretence of doing you a friendly act, make mischief between you and your friends. They do it i>y repeating any little remarks which liappen to be unfavorable to the absent [>arty, and which, but for being told him ly the officious friend, would never have tone him any Harm, or created any coldless between him and their author. , In speaking of friends seperated from his cause, I would net be understood to nean friends in the strictest sense of the erm?such as Cicero describes them in lis treatise on frindship?but merely such , is are called, and miiy be considered, very , jood friends, as the world goes; which neans little else than not being enemies \ ?and is. if I mav art ationlr miliar a do. I .. _ ?-? ?, ? - "v" i native than a positive friendship.. But j my friendship, which is sincere as far ( is it goes, is better than enmity: and | lence tney do a very serious injury, who , >y ltheir ofBciousness or false pretences, , :ausc disaffection between you and your , riends, or neighbors?which last, now I hink of it, is the more proper word. These talebearers possibly may someimes be actuated by a frindly motive; but f so, their zeal sadly outruns their discreion, and by a 'wo ful lack of prudence, md judicious silence which would cost | he'm nothing, they .in a moment create ' mmity between fellow creatures; which | jftentimes a whole life cannot repair. ! I have a most, sovereign contempt, not o say abhorrence, of this species of go- j jetween. /riends. My charity, which >pens the door of kindness to all classes 1 )f people, well nigh refused to be at hoihe ' o this; and I would much sooner forgive J ,he person, who says an unjust thing of J ne, than the ofljeious wretch who reports t to my earsv. There is in his conduct 1 something like malace prepeose; because le knows, before repeating them, that the iffensive remarks will be likely to make ' Tuschief; and yet with this knowledge >efore him, he does not restrain his vile losirc of blabbing. Such a person, who- ! her he act from sheer thoughtlessness, rom an odious fondness for mischief, is aot of a nature to be trusted. He i? below the confidence of friendship; is a dangerous and troublesome neighbor; and is by all means to be avoided. How .many trifling things arc every day said, which would nol be complimentary even to the best of persons; but! could . do them no harm, if not conveyed to their hearing. And then the injury is owing'splefy to this officious conveyance. U causes an irretation to tho feelings, which is detrimental to one's happiness at the prcsetit time, and may continue to rankle long afterwards. . , * . . From my very childhood I never could endure talebearers. They made mischief between me and my playmates. I abhorred them then; I contemn them now. I never did, and never will, encourage a talebearer. Persons of this officious class are often to be met with. They will come to you with their tongues itching to repeat something to your disadvantage. They will ingeniously play about the subject in order to excite your curiosity, and draw from you a request to hear the story. As thus: '' 'It is very strange how people will talk about their neighbors!' 'Umph!' 'Even the best of us can't escape the tongue of slander.' Umph!* .,, 'I had my feelings very much hurt last evening at some remarks, which as a friend to you?' ?Umph!-?Tol lol lol!?fiddlededee!' 'They were very injurious, I do assure you.* , '.Well, sir, and what if they were?' . !,J 'Why, I thought you might like to hear them.* ? 'What! like to hear bad accounts of myself!' 'Why, yes; I had my feelings amazingly hurt on your account, and I thought I might as well?' 'Hurl my feelings too? You're amazingly kind, upon my word!' 'Why, yes, I thought it would be no more than a neighborly act to?' 'Such neighborly arts 1 detest;, and let me tell you, sir, if you have no better business than setting frifends by the ears in this manner, you are indeed a poor contemptible creature.* , ? ? Oh, sir, if you take my neighborly of? /voa o/t tiiiLirwili" I liflC?#* nAt hi nrr rvineo IIVVO oy MM m J * .-?WW III Wl VJ ?V say?the secret shall die with mo, and?' Then there will be two troublesome things d^ad. , ..Leave me!* .. He will depart, crest-fallen and ashamed Another will come, not doubting but his ill news will be acceptable. He is ready to communicate it? and only asks that he shall not be named as the officious person who reported the matter. Now don*l tell any body that I told you; because If you should, you'd bring me into difficulty you knoVv.' * You'll get into difficulty at all events, unless a i n [ 'Promiso now, upon your Mered honor [not to tell who told you, so (hot I needn't be brought into mischief, and?' Doubtless you'll make mischief between me and niy friends!! Why, reaally. I profess % friendship for you myself, and thought it a thousand pities you should be slandered without knowing it.' ? Give yourself no trouble, Mr. Limbertongue. If I should never hear of the slander, it will do me no harm.* Mercy on me! do you want to be slandered without knowing it?' Certainly, if I am slandered at all.? There's the door, Mr. Limbertonguc.' This is the only way. Give no encouragement to talebearers, and they will ceace to trouble you. If you can con- < Bcienliouslj entertain a good opinion of i yourself, you will in general have little .< cause to trouble yourself about the idle < remarks ot individuals, ??r the world.? i But, at all events, if you would pass qui- i etly though tho short space of life allot- * ted you* never lend a listening ear to t those mischievous pretenders to friend- s ship, whose chief business it is to repeat a matter, and seperate very friends.' t From the National Intelligencer. j Away to the Dismal Swamp hespet.Js, . Through tangled juniper, bedB of reeds, ' Through many a fen where the serpent feeds. 8 We copy the subjoined interesting ac- r. count of a visit to the Lake in the Dismal J Swamp, from the Portsmouth Times, whose editor ought to take a jaunt some- ^ where at least one day in each "week, if he will only write as agreeable an ac- 1 count of it when he returns to his post, as 1 lie has done of his visit to Lake Orpin- ? mond, or as he did of the Inauguration 1 ?ccne at Washington in March last. A ] trip up our Canal, as far as it is finished, j would affortl him a subject rich in natural beauties, and also in the. wonders of art, * as displayed in the stricture of the Canal. ! We should like very much, however, to j visit the scene of the following description-^?a scene which we have had ill our 1 mind's eye ever since, thirty years ago, we read Moore's ballad, from which the ' above stanzas are extracted : [From the Portsmouth (Va.) Times.] Saturday was -a blue day hereabouts, * but its troubles were not for us. With a l party ot light-hearted souls we had reached the beautiful canal that traverses the great Dismal; and the sun, that looked out near mid-day from the clouds upon hundreds and thousands of anxious faces, witnessed in our little .assemblage a score of as happy exceptions, as could that day be found in our wide-spread country.? Not that, kind reader, we would have you ior a iiiomem 10 unuersianu mat we were bound on a pilgrimage to that matrimonial Mecca, from whose bourne no pretty Miss returns; for although there were in our little vessel temptations sufficiently, powerful "to make one willing to fly to the uttermost parts of the earth for their sake, we were intent on no such errand. No, affairs had come to a crisis with none of. us. . .We were J^it upon anothcr pilgrim age, ahd resol^P to test for ourselves the claims of that far-famed lake, whose wild and lonely beauties awoke the Irish muse to strains captivating as' those chaunted over the most charming Parisian recess.An early and an excellent brakefast, prepared by Cait. Baugh, the proprietor of the hotel at Deep Creek ; a good boat with comfortable accommodations amf^ttentive bands, furnished by the same gentleman ; a fine day, exceeding our expectations, prepared us in the best possible manner for the spectacle which was in store for us. A romance reader, or some. sweet girl, whose mind is attuned to other harmonies than those of knives and forks,, may pronounce all . this vastly unintellec-. , tual. We beg leave to disagree with her ( or him, and we dare say, Tom Moore ( himself would hear its out in the assertion, that without such preliminaries, no one could relish as they deserve the beau- , ties of Lake Drummond, or any other , lake upon earth equally difficult to ac- ; cess. .. v . . ? . .. . The passage through the canal, however, forbidden it might appear to those who have not tried it, was certainly delightful. There was nothing, it is true, but a stream of water, smooth as a mirror, stretching far aivay into the distance, and parting the blue woods that scarcely were perceptible above the horizon ; banks rivalling in their beautiful level the engi ncer s most pcricct work ; forests., whose luxuriant, verdure and tangled recesses were such as creation's dawn beheld them, with here and there a house at wide intervals, built for the wry-farer's comfort, yet adding if possible to the sense of solitude ; or a lonely bark propelled by her crew, who stalked laboriously along the bank, gliding with set sails before the wind, and breaking the surface of the waters in golden tipples. But these were enough to fill the mind of every one with pleasing contemplations. Here nature and art were exhibited on a scale equally great. The seemingly impenetrable masses of reed, vine, and forest, guarded as they were by miro and waters, which overspread the face of the region, had yielded to the arm of human industry, amh here was the monument of its triumph. About noon we reached ihc small canal* called the feeder, which connects the main channel with the lake. A little below this the horse which drew our boat was trans* ported on a float bridge across the canal. The bank on this side presented no such road as that we had left. A narrow path, worn in the moss apd grass by the feet of the hardy boatmen and raft crews, alone was left for the faithful animal. When we entered the feeder this became yet more contracted. > The luxuriant soil shot up ? growth which could not be repressed by the steps of the workmen. Here nature appeared in her original grandeur. The Arcs which had elsewhere desolated the noble forest, presented her none of their effects. The vast trees on either hand towered high over our heads, mantled to the topmost boughs with their vernal Iress, and almost to their summits folded n the embrace of the flowering jessamine md other vines. A strong current oppoing our progress, we hod ample time to M'come imbued with the spirit of the cene The ladies appeared thoughtful, ind suspended a tvlule the sweet tones hat hitherto had won, perhaps too much, >tir thoughts from the spectacle before us. However, ere wo became too much im>rcssed with the solemnity of the spot, i distant opening in the woods was revealid, and a glimpse was caught of the obect of our visit. < A few minutes more bund us at the lock, within three hundred ranis of the lake. . Another brief internal, and we were upon its bosom. A de'cription of this beautiful body of water s what we have neither lite lime nor tho ibility to attempt. Alone, and lovely in is loneliness, girt with the ancient trees, whose shadews were cast a thousand years >g<> silent on all its shores, with not a "louse in their extensive circuit, nor a boat save our own; resting upon its waters, it surpassed our utmost anticipations, and mprcssed each one that then beheld it for the first time, with the most pleasihg amotions. ...... ?~ Hut it is not a second nor a third visit which can render the lake an unattractive lbjcct.- Hour* or days might he spent in ho neighborhood, and the scene would be eplete with pleasurable associations.? Fhore were those in our party who had beheld it attain and again; others who had traveled far and dwelt with delight upon the beautiful lakes of our continent; yet its attractions were still fresh to the former, while the latter declared it a rival of the fairest they had witnessed. .. Heretofore the lake has not enjoyed the celebrity to which its merits fairly entitle it- This may,in a great measure, be attributed to the difficulty in procuring the means of access. Strange as it may seem, there is no boat kept regularly; and built for the purpose. Boats may indeed be obtained by making application some days beforehand/but there is frequent disappointment. . They, are kept, foe other niirnrtsoc onil 01*0 Al'lon !#? VI * Wl?utl Ok a YIIDiailtC* Wp would recommend to the worthy proprietor of the hotel, the keeping of a neat light boat adapted to the purpose. It would certuinly richly compensate him for the trouble, while he would have a further recompense in the consciousness that his efforts Were instrumental in diffusing the fame of one of the finest and most picturesque. bodies of water on the continent. How was this lake, twelve or fifteen mdes in circuit, and at the summit level of the swamp, formed, was a query which each was unable to answer. Some attributed it to the agency of 6re, to which surmise the charred fragments at the bottom gave color. H,.-. ... .... >--. After resting more.than an hour in the shade of. an ancient cypress, beneath whose branches our boat was fastened* find theic partakinc with keen annetitee of a store of viands provided for the occasion, we again sought the feeder, and turned homeward. The sun went down long, before we reached the Creek, out the moonlight made ample amends for his absence, while the firefly lit up his tiny lamp to swell the agreeable association of the scene. Cut and comf. again.?On the 18th inst. a female convict named Julia Ann Hall, 29 years of age, made her escape from the State Prison at Weathersfield, Conn.,, She was employed in the yard, and escaped by moving two stones from underneath the wall. She had been sen* tenced to prison seven years for setting fire to the Hartford Jail. She took with her a pair of brown pantaloons and A short Jacket, with which ahc accourtred herself and travelled 40 milts day and . night,.when she was overtaken by an officer. She attempted to laugh him out of the idea that she was any thing but a man but it was of no use; she was hcl| cd- to a seat in a wagon and soon returned to her proper place of abode. Salaries to Governors.?From a ta? ble in the Toronto Constitution, it appears that the four Governors of Upper and Lower Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, receive annual salaries amounting to $72,000, while the Governors of twenty-four States in the Union receive by $54,782.
