1 a a a a a a a a a day evening, we learn that Mr. Wickliffe was enis out of danger, although suffering from pain. Mrs. Wickliffe arrived at Baltimore on Wednesday morning, and is now engaged in ministering to the sufferer. Gardner remains in prison, and, except an unnatural glaring of the eyes, appears quite sane.

He evinces no sorrow for his infer. nal conduct, but rather glories in it. His exami. nation has been postponed until Mr. Wickliffe able to be present.

understand that Mr. Wickliffe has very recently exerted himself to obtain an official appointment for Gardner's father, and no motive can be assigned for the outrage. DEFALCATIONS AND ELOPEMENTS. -It is rumored in town, with how much truth we know not, that the examinations now going on by the committee of the House have developed, and are still developing, facts which render it probable that other individuals, and that in a high station, besides Pagaud and Graves, will implicated in the peculations and forgeries upon the public Treasury.

Oh, night and day Susan play fashionable pieces; And off, together, sins, mother and father, Their daughters, and nieces.

A boy, who bore him an old grudge, met him, and, after calling him the 'young and many other scurrilous nicknames, caught him off his guard, and threw him to the ground, tearing his jacket, and breaking his molasses bottle. Now it is said by censorious Southrons, that a Yankee will take a great many hard names with the patience of a martyr: his spirit is word-proof; but tear his clothes or cheat his belly, and he will fight 'to the Up jumped Jonathan, his eyes wolfish and his lips white with rage.

At an evening party at D- Lodge, Lady was invited to meet her.

From the Democratic Review for May. COUSIN FRANK. BY MISS SEDGWICK. Gray, the most familiar of his exquisite stanzas, in a Country Church yard, Full many a gem," has expressed most poetically the waste of a false position in life.

The fund partiality of every village generation finds in its own burying ground some village Hampden," some mute, inglorious Milton," or 4. Cromwell guiltless of his country's blood." It is a signal good fortune, when an individual has a right position in life. The office of President of the United States is one of the highest among men, and he who worthily fills it is the peer of kings and autocrats. Washington, the elected head of the American people, was truly king of kings. But if the nation put in that high place a man only fitted to be a clever wardpolitician, or a skilful overseer of a plantation, he is a mark in the pillory, not the light to set on a hill.

We see every day men in false position; in places as ill fitting as a garment a world too wide, or perchance too narrow. Men are raised to offices of trust and honor, that are worthy of neither the one nor the other and stout frames, which nature has built of muscle and sinew able to subdue the wildest of our wild land, are in places behind the counters, that women of right and grace should fill. Do we not all know ladies in drawing rooms, cumberers of that ground, who should have figured as -rate milliners And mistresses of our city palaces, who would have been inestimable marketwomen? And yellow, languid, fine ladies, who, in their right vocation of chambermaids would have been brisk and blooming And do we not know those in obscure and humble places, who, shuffled to their right positions, would bring with them the graces so much wanted to give a zest to high life? There are men born to the inheritance and ministration of a princely tune, who are only fit to keep a livery stable, or whose whole lives should be passed in the humblest class of learners. Bachelors there are, who would have been pattern husbands and idolized fathers and husbands and fathers, who should have gone roaming and growling alone through life. It is this prevailing disorder and unfitness, that makes it so peculiarly delightful to see a friend in the right position- -that gives to fitness the effect of harmony.

This felicity of the right position is most strikingly illustrated by a charming friend of mine, who, having an innumerable host of young cousins, is best known by his most common appellative, Cousin Frank." A discerning girl has tried to fix upon him the sobriquet of Pickwick, but there was a general outcry against this; we were too jealous of the originality of our friend, to blend him in any way with another. Perhaps, we did not all of us appreciate the gentle qualities--the romantic benevolence -the exquisite gentlemanliness of the Don Quixote of Mr. Dickens's creation; and besides, the very sound of Cousin Frank is a keynote to our affections. Cousin Frank" is not too young -and I cannot remember that he ever was- -for any kind office; and he never will be too old" for any service of humanity. He is not rich, thank Heaven, for if he were he would have cares of his own; nor is he, poor, for then he would have sordid anxieties.

ifhe were too tall, he might on some occasion (there is a universality in Cousin Frank's occasions) be inconveniently conspicuous; and it he were too short, he might not always command the respect of those who measure dignity by feet and inches; so he just right- just as high as all our hearts. Again, Cousin Frank" is not in the dilemma of one of Mr. Bulwer's heroes, too handsome for any thing," but were you to question his beauty in a certain circle, any of a dozen young creatures would exclaim, "Cousin Frank not handsome wonder then who is He certainly has what our English friends call a nice, looks countenance makes just that amount of good that a young lady who had his arm in a company of strangers feel very complacent. Cousin Frank" is no amateur of music, real or pretended. I doubt if he could distinguish an air of Bellini from a sonata of Beethoven.

Yet he goes to more concerts on than any man in town; for Grisi or Lablache would sing in vain many of our score of girls, if ti Cousin Frank" were not there. The lectures- -we must confess it to -sparing neither sex nor age, they have well nigh exhausted even Cousin Frank's" patience, and he was once seen looking grave and doubtful, when one of his prettiest cousins asked him to attend her to the Tabernacle." in For himself, Cousin Frank" parties; but if there be a timid top was among us, who fears to go alone in a car- ed riage, he is called upon to attend her; or if there be a frugal one who would fain save conch hire, he is again called upon, and Cousin Frank" is that good, that dainty bail that does always come when you call he is not merely the preuz cheralier of young and pretty girlsbachelors are willing servants of these is the visiter of the neglected, the prop the old, the cheer of all. He has that the chivalry which Charles Lamb said he the would believe in when he saw the best seat of a coach given to a forlorn old woman. the As to the country commissions, scarce a from arrives without bringing a flood of them Cousin Frank." The tide never ebbs. example by the last Poor B.

is rited deafer and deafer every day. It is a sad ting sight to see the tears in his eyes when he perceives his little boy's lips moving without hearing the accounts that come from them. Ask your Cousin Frank to look in at the new fangled instruments for the deaf, and send us a report of them." "G- -'s eyes are getting worse again; then comes a statement of the case, and the unfailing conclusion, Ask your Cousin Frank to step into Elliott's and consult him about her going to town 1) Again: We are impatient to see Stephen's new work; ask your Cousin Frank to forward it by the first And once more: Ask your Cousin Frank to send me a dozen of good Port, and half a box of the best cigars he knows how to choose both." But we forbear, lest through our dull medium our readers may be one yet ever was- tired of Cousin This is not the place to speak of his blessed part in the domestic tragedies of his friends; that memory is cut to their hearts, and its memorial is written down in the book of which the angel of Light keeps the record. Such a character as Cousin Frank" is a rare social blessing, and its felicity is to have fallen into the right position- upon a family where there is an alarming and most inconvenient preponderance of womankind. Every now and then we have a rumor that Cousin Frank" is about to give to a party what was meant for mankind;" and his cousins look jealously on certain of their charming friends on whom he seems to them to smile too benignly.

The cloud off'. The statue has found its true passes niche- -the picture its best light. Cousin Frank" must not be married. This would be like giving to an individual an exclusive right to the sunshine-allowing to one family the monopoly of the Croton water.

FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 4, 1843. FIRE IN -This morning at half past 1 oclock, a fire occurred in a large tarn and stables on the place at Gowanus, formerly belonging to the late John C. Frecke, and adjoining what is called Freeke's Mill Pond. It is occupied by Jeremiah Buckley as a milk establishment. Eight cows, a pair of cattle, and 1 horse were burnt, together with several carts, and hay, The loss falls very heavily on an industrious milk-man, who was, most probably, not insured.

It is conjectured that the fire might have been communicated by some one of the numerous riotous persons who every night resort to the mill-pond for bathing. and whose noises were heard last night near the spot till past midnight.

We are often amused at the competition branch of business.

Merchants and traevery ders advertise the prices of their commodities.We take the following from a paper published at Jonesville Michigan: You may have sugars from 6 to 10 cents; Nails at Shoes at 2s. 6d. and upwards; Glass from 18 to 20 shillings per box; dried apples shillings; Sheetings and Shirtings from 6 to 10 cents; Blue Drills at 1 shilling per yard; Coffee from 8 cts. to 1 shilling per pound; Tea from 18 pence to $1.

Mr. ADAMS' people cannot be debarred from paying to this upright and independent man, the honors which belong to his name and reputation. He reached Schenectady on Wednesday, and after receiving the hospitalities the people, reached Albany in the evening at o'clock by an extra train. He was received an immense multitude, and was presented to them by Tunis Van Vechten, Esq. After a few words of address, Mr.

Adams proceeded to the house Hon. Daniel D. Barnard, promising to meet his fellow-citizens at the Capitol at 10 o'clock on Thursday morning. He was to receive gentlemen visitors until 12 o'clock, and ladies afterwards, until one. ATTEMPTED MURDER.

-A young man named De Witt Clinton Baker, was last evening stabbed at the corner of Fulton street and Broadway, N. Y. He was warning a young man against the arts of a woman of the town named Emma Rich. ardson, when she struck him in the neck with a dirk, and a male accomplice named Wallace, assaulted him with blows. Baker was taken to the hospital, and hopes are entertained of his recovery.

The offenders have been arrested. BROOKLYN 4. Samuel T. Roberts, for an assault and battery Robert Wilson, was fined $6, to stand committed till paid. Michael Mayloy was convicted of an assault and battery on Hugh M-Gonegal, and sentenced a fine of $10, to stand committed till paid.

The disembarcation commenced; onions, potatoes, pot, pan, and de, with all appliances to boot" for a stew, were first in order; next in order came ladies--God bless them, and give them plenty chowder -lightly they tripped down the frail way, supported by sinewy arms, without their fairy feet to the watery element. Then came the jovial blades down the and bending plank, they ran--a false step slip--a splash -in head and cars--a shake of head--a roaring laugh, and all on land. The line was now formed, and away we ed to our encampment; articles of association read; dismi sed. Then the sport commenced right good earnest. The sportsman, gun in and pointer at his side, went forth in quest of feathery tribes; the angler for the 'shining the invalid to a quiet bath; the scientific and rious to a ramble over hill and dale, for minerals, "and all queer things;" the picturesquely inclined, to a survey from the highest peak of light house; the lovers of good cheer to onion potato peeling, (and here conspicuously shone 66 dear the tired and sleepy to a comfortable snooze.

A short distance from this bubbling business, the curling smoke and flame told that "Indian clam bake" had commenced.

Our steamer's prow turned homeward, the engine, Mrs. Trollope elegantly expresses it, played with a 66 perfect looseness," and on we sped, scene of our day's enjoyment fast receding from view, the curtain of night dropped its folds around us, and each one retired within himself ruminate upon the day's enjoyment which was past.

The angler, the sportsman, the scientific and curious, the invalid, not a single shadow the beauty and caterer -all, all, pondered, and ruminated pleasing recollection of the past.

Apart from all the rest, sat in moody silence, the canker worm of remorse fed upon their vitals, some two or three individuals, who, having prostituted the noble purposes the day in drinkdeep draughts of cup of intoxication, and following their maddening impulses, had made themselves miserable, and would have reduced all their own low level. At 10 o'clock we arrived safely at home, in good humor, and with no accident to recall unpleasant reminiscences. And sure I am, that no sober individual of that party will look back to the events that day with any but pleasurable emotions. For the Star. CHOWDER EXCURSION.

CHOWDER. PIRACY AND MURDER- -ARREST OF TWO OF THE SARAH LAVINIA'S CREW. -David Babe and Geo. Matthews were arrested yesterday morning at the bearding house of Me. Knowles, No.

7 Washington street, in this eity, and committed to the cus. tody of the United States Marshal. They were seamen belonging to the Sarah Lavina, and were doubtless concerned in the murder of the captain, mate and cook, of that unfortunate vessel. Babe is about 25 years old, said to be an Englishman by birth, and is a strong bailt man, about 5 feet 9 inches high. Matthews hails from Maryland, is 5 feet, 5 or 6 inches high, younger than the other, and not of very full make.

After remaining for some time at the U. S. Marshal's office, they were committed to the Tombs, and will undergo an examination on Tuesday next, by which time the requisite witnesses will be in the city. It ap. pears that the prisoners and another of the crew named William Webster, landed on Saturday af.

ternoon at Seconnet Point, abont 8 miles below Newport, R. on the opposite shore, andiwelre Here they remained all night. On Sunday ing they gave the boat, the ship's compass, $4 to two fishermen named Sebra ley, to land them at Newport Point, which money, about 3 miles below the town. Here they to the boarding house of Mr. Knight and remained all day on Sunday, till ofelocholt the when they took the for noon, dence.

On Monday they crossed the Stonington railroad, and took passage in the steamboat sachusetts for this city, where they arrived Tuesday morning. William O. Russell, deputy Sheriffol Bedford, traced their route, and arrived at accompanied by Mr. Knight, on WednesThe Massachusetts had returned, and ington, day. took passage on board of her, arriving here terday morning.

Babe and Matthews it appears, had left a bag of clothes on board the Massachu setts, which on being examined, presented little doubt that some of them belonged to the tain and the mate, the shirts in particular, resembling others found on board the vessel. Some the articles had been imperfectly washed, still wet, but leaving the evident traces of blood. The shirts belonging to the captain were of and of a fine description. On arriving here, quiries were made as to the residence of the pirates but without effect. In about an hour aftewards, however, a man went on board with the ticket which had been given them, and made a request for the bag.

He was questioned, and readily Mr. Knight and Mr. Russell to the house of Knowles. Matthews was descending the from an upper room when they went in. lIe out his hand toshake hands with Mr.

Knight, was immediately arrested. At first he denied knowledge of the piracy and murders, but finally confessed them. The officer ascertained Babe had passed the night at a house of ill in the upper part of Water street, and went there. He had left, however, about 15 minutes before arrival. On going back to Mr.

Knowles' house the officer discovered Babe in custody, he having returned with a view to removing his baggage some other place, was seized by persons there for the purpose. He, too, protested his nocence, and expressed resentment at his arrest, but accompanied the officer without resistance.The prisoners were first taken on board steamboat, where Messrs. William Stilwell Walsh, officers of the United Sates Court them into cust dy. Webster has not yet been arrested, having it is supposed, to Philadelphia, but measures been adopted by the officers of the U.S. Court t' is ci which will no doubt soon lead to his covery.

Although strong, and of full stature, is only 18 years of age. He is of a plexion and fair hair, and a full description of person has been sent to the various places where it is probable he may have gone. While at Newport, Webster paid for the others, and peared to have the keeping of the money in his also exhibited, while there an elegant watch, which caused suspicion to Knight.Mathews seemed to be much depressed in spirits, which Mr. K. took notice of.

He told Mr. K. had something on his mind which he would an opportunity to reveal to him. They professed an intention of remaining for a week. But for Mr.

Knight would have had them arrested, fully intending to let the Sabbath pass over, give information as to his suspicions the following day. The gold watch, it appears, belonged to mate. It is a Tobias gold lever, and cost at least 100. On Tuesday Pate. got it exchanged the jewellery store of Tinkham, Broadway, for a silver watch, and $20 in mony.

It discovered yesterday by S. Rapelje, Esq. U.S. Marshal, and Wm. Barrett, Esq.

and readily restored by Mr. T. Matthews appears desirious of being admitted States He says that when within about 400 Babe called Webster, the cook, and himself, from the forecastle, and told them that the captain and mate had got into a scufle on deck and had both fallen overboard -that Babe then took charge of the vessel, and as they were approaching the land, he directed the cook to forward to haul in one of the sheets -while so engaged went behind hind marling spike, struck him on the head, killed hun. He then directed the others to throw the cook overboard, and threatened if they did not, that he would serve them in the same manner. Babe reverses this story-says he was a looker-on, and that the cook was killed by Matthews.

However this may be, Babe appears have all the physical ability for deeds of daring, being a powerful, athletic man. It is said that he merely assumed the cognomen of Babe for the procurement of a protection, and that his real name is William Brown. His bearing, yesterday, was firm, though not ferocious. Matthews appeared to be completely overwhelmed by the horrors of his situation. It is to be feared that they are but too equally guilty.

Their object, no doubt, was money, in which they appear have been disappointed. Win. Priee and A. Nash, Esq. we understanding are retained for their defence.

Snn. VILLAINOUS ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE UNITED STATES POST MASTER -On Tuesday, on the way to Baltimore, the steamboat Georgia received on board the Hon. Mr. Wickliffe, his two daughters, and, among others, a youth named J. McLean Gardner, son of Col.

C. K. Gardner, of Washington City, late First Auditor of the Post Office Department. During the passage between that place and the Potomac river, Mr. Wickliffe and Gardner (who is represented as a disappointed office seeker) were seen in a casual conversation, which soon terminated, without attracting any attention from the passengers.

Everything passed off' pleasantly until the boat had arrived a little above the mouth of the Potomac, when dinner was announced. Mr. W. then took his niece by the arm to go to dinner, his two daughters walking immediately in front, and just as he was about passing Gardner, who was lying down asleep, he touched Gardner with his hand, and said Dinner," for the purpose of waking him, when that individual sprang to his feet, drew a large dirk knife, and pierced it into the right breast of Mr. the blade striking against the bone, and turning downward about an inch, but most fortunately not striking deep enough to prove dangerous.

Immediately on the wound being inflicted, A. K. Wooley, of Kentucky, seized Gardner and prevented his deing further injury, and with the aid of other passengers had him immediately confined. Such a bold and highhanded outrage. of course, threw the whole of the passengers into the greatest consternation, and anguish of his daughters and niece, who were the immediate spectators of it, was truly heartrending, one daughter having instantly fainted, and was, with much difficulty, resuscitated.Unfortunately no medical was on board dress the wound of Mr.

Wickliffe, but the kind attention of Capt. Coffee, as well as the conduced to his comfort passengers on board, greatly ease until the boat arrived at the city in the evening about eight o'clock, Drs. Smith and Theobold were called to his aid." Dr. Smith immediately probed the wound, dressed it and pronounced not to be of a serious nature. He was bled very profusely.

The physicians advised that he should remain board until morning, for fear that in removing to a hotel some danger might result therefrom. His daughters remained on board during night, notwithstanding they were urgently pressed by Mr. Barnum to enjoy, for the night, hospitalities of his hotel. Gardner was, soon the arrival of the boat, taken before Walton and committed for a further examina. Mr.

Wickliffe requested, as a particular fothat he should not be confined with felons, which, we suppose, was granted. We understand the opinion of some that Gardner is laboring mental alienation--of course! At 11 o'. Mr. W. seemed to be easy; suffering slight ly when he moved.
