Poison Gins. Tho public are indebted to Dr. Walker of Drury Lane, London, for exposing the crowded tate of the grave yards, not only in the metropolis, but in other densely populated cities. Having published a work containing some alarming facts relative to the evil, Dr. Walker succeeded in attiacting to it the.

attention of parliament. Tlie select committee for collect intr evidence on the health of towns, made tho abuses of burial a branch ot their inquiriesand the result of their labors has recently been giv. en to the world. In every large town," confined spaces have been used for centuries as receplaclej for the dead and still, bodies are daily being added to the heaps, till the earth became saturated with decaying animal matter, and the air laden with fever productive miasma. Two of tho witnesses depose before the committee to have seen burial yards which they name reeking under a hot sun, with a thick mist distilled from the messes of decomposition, as if there was boiling water poured over the ground." This mist is nothing less than a gas which, mixing with the atmosphere, is received into the human lungs, to the detriment of the health of even passers by but to the speedy destruction of dwellers in the neighborhood.

Desirous of analysing the fatal gas. Mr. Walker procured some through Mr. George Whittaker, an intelligent undertaker, who narrates the experiment to the committee. I says he, after many got some gas from a coffin in the vaults of St.

Clement Danes. I bored a hole through the lid of a coffin I then hold an. India rubber bottle to the hole until it was quite full. This was from a coffin buried eight years. I tried some time after again.and I was nearly killed." On handing the bottle to Mr.

Walker.that gentleman states the stench was so intolerable, that he was obliged to pass it through water, instead of through mercury, not having his process ready; he therefore lost a great deal of it, but it made its wav through the house in two minutes, and actually forced some relatives', who were in one of the highest 'floors, to run out of doors. This gas differs from ordinary erases, there beinjr animal matter suspended in it. The first bubble that passed through the water left a greasy particle on the surface Mr. Walker was glad to get rid of it, but it made him so ill, that he kept his bed a week afterwards. Those wiio have most to do with graves feel tho effects of the gaseous miasmata most fre qnsntly and severely.

Michael Pye, a grave digger, relates that on one occasion he "struck a coffin accidentally with a pickaxe. As soon as I struck it, it came out the same as froth from a barrel of beer, and threw me backward, and I was obliged to stand some minutes before I could recover." A few incidents related by other grave rnakcre, arc really appalling, being much more hideo.is than the most extravagant German fiction. Many have lost their lives by the stench, compared with wiiich, says one witness, a cesspool is rose water." The follow ing extract from the Lancet for June 13, 1840, will show the virulent power of the vapour: VViiliam ureen, a grave digger, while employed in his vocation in the churchyard of St. Margaret, Westminister, was suddenly seized with faintness, excessive chilliness, giddiness, and inability to move his limbs. He was seen to fall, removed home, and his medical attendant sent fur.

The poor fellow's impression was, that 'he should never leave his bed alive he was struck with He was subsequently removed to the hospital, where he died in a few days. No hope was entertained, from the first, of his recovery. Mr. the medical attendant, was seized with precisely ihe same symptoms. He was attended by me.

I apprehended, from the first, a fatal result he died four days after the decease of the grave digger. The fatal effects of the miasm did not end here; the servant was seized on the day after the death of her master, and she sank in a few days. There can be no doubt that the effluvium from ihe grave was the cause of the death of these three individuals. The total inefficiency, I in ttioco Ifirop ncfc3. nf all romrtfliol iine I showed the great power of the virus, or miasm, over the animal enconomy from the commence ment of the attack.

This demonstrates the destructive influence of the deadly exhalation even when directly encountered. The virulence of these vapors, and their presence in the atmosphere of grave yards, is accounted for by the fact, that no soldering up in leaden coffins or external covering whatsoever is capable of arresting their escape. A goleman at arms who attended the embalmed and trebled coffincd remains of George states that the smell issuing from the body was scarcely endurable. Neither has time the effect of lessening the strength of the gas. When the republicans of Paris were plundering the royal vaults in the church of St.

Deny, a gas issued from the coffin of Francis who was buried in 1547, so powerfully destructive, that it nearly killed the depredators. And Mr. Walker states, that a short time ago, a portion of the old grave yard of St. Clemeut's in the Strand was dug up to make a sewer, which was much needed in that neighborhood. Or.e of the men employed struck his pickaxe into a coffin; the body it contained had been buried in the year 1789; the ga3 was clearly perceptible it issued from the coffin like the steam from a teapot spout, and the stench was insufferable." It thus appears that a crowded graveyard is constantly liberating the pestiferous accumula tiou of centuries, joined with the poisonous vapours of more recent decomposition, poisoning the surrounding air, and helping to disseminate those plagues and fevers which make such continual havoc in crowded communities.

Nor is the poison only imparted to the air; it percolates through the soil, and vitiates the springs so that in manv neighbourhoods it performs its rap work of destruction on the stomach as well as on the lungs. We olace this chapter of horrors before our readers, not for the purpose of harrowing their feelings, but to urge them to encourage the improved nethods of burial which have laely been adopted by means of suburban cemeteries. We know it is a painful subject to treat, particularly to those most interested. The sacred associations which cling around the family wherever placed, it seems almost cruel to disturb. But to the really reflecting rnind, such sentiments sacred as they are will give place to realities and the wellare of the Jiving will vbe more urgently considered than the notions, merely sentimental, which lead to Lie improper burial of the dead.

United States Dragoons We learn, by a gentleman from the upper country, that the United States dragoons under the command of Capt. Cooke, who went out as an escort to the Santa Fe traders, are on their way in. Our in fonncut stopped at the encampment of a party provision wagons, set out from Fort Leaven worbi to meet Captain Cooke'H command. The dragoons, we believe, escorted the traders to Santa Fe. St.

MONDAY KVBWIWG. 1J THK MANDAMUS KOT DENIED, BUT CRAIVTIiW We have a report which comes in such a manner as to leave no doubt of its truth that the decision of the Brooklyn Mandamus case, as announced in the Rochester Democrat, was incorrect; and that judgment was, in fact, rendered for the plaintiff! The attorney and counsel for the relator have, we are told, received the opinion of the Court to this effect.

We cannot obtain it for publication to day, but shall give it to morrow. We understand that the Court was unanimous. Mr. Wcbmter at Andovcr. We have been furnished at length (in a two fold sense) with the last "great" speecti ot this unappreciated gentleman and have taken the trouble to read it entirely through without findincr anything to reward us for our trouble.

It is devoted mainly to the consideration of three topics the currency, the tariff, and the public credit and closes with a brief, but la bored and adroit vindication or rather, attempt ed vindication of the speaker from the charge of ingratitude and treachery to the Whig party, for remaining inthe Cabinet of President Tyler after his original colleagues had retired. It is evident that Mr. Webster has not yet obtained a satisfactory answer to the question, propounded to his brother Whigs in Faneuil Hail, "Where am I to go 1" He says, to be 6ure, that he is a private citizen, and that his condition will never be changed by any movement or effort of his. Nay, he avers further, that the public honors which he has hitherto enjoyed, have ratherbeen forced upon him than sought after and ho gently intimates that he has not given his sanction to tho use that has recently been made of his name in connection with the Vice Presidency. He thinks (or says) that nominations for high offices should come from the free and spontaneous exercise of that "respect and confidence which the people themselves may feel," and that it is both ungentlemanly and undignified to canvass for them.

This is well enougli but since Mr. Webster has not told us what he regards as the "free and spontaneous exercise of that respect and confidence" whicl ought to precede an acceptance of nominations, we are at some loss to understand his position. It will, nodoubt.be comprehended at Ashland, or thereabouts; but whether it will put an end to the writing of letters on Cologne Water, Silk, Free Trade, Protection, etc. remains to be seen. U'e have already hinted that there is but little in this effort of Mr.

Webster which is calculated to interest the mass and we may add that there is still less for the satisfaction of his curious Whig brethren. It is worthy of remark, however, that he does not appear to consider the "idea" of a National Bank as entirely "obsolete." H2 contends that the right to charter such an institution is inferred from the express grant of power to "regulate Commercp," because 1st, money is the great agent of commerce 2d, paper will form the great mass of the circulation and 3d, it is desirable that a part of that mass should be of un'versal acceptability and value. Now ice do not believe that the right to charter such an institution can, by any possibility, be derived from the power to regulate commerce. We believe the latter means simply the imposition of duties, the registration of tonnage, the passage of laws relative to navigation, and the like. Indeed, Mr.

Webster says in another part of his speech, while treating of the tariff question, "Now the power of Congress is, to regulate commerce, to regulate trade, and what is the extent of that power 7" And he proceeds to show that the power to "regulate trade" has "universally been received as including the power of favoring particular articles of home production," It is worthy of remark here, that the ground formerly taken by politicians of Mr. Webster's school on the subject was, that the power to pass all such laws as were necessary and prouer" for the executiou of specific grants, furnished the disputed authority, but this, we think, is a very grave error. It is to be regret tod, at all events, that some interdict had not been inserted in the Constitution; for nothing is clearer, to our mind, than the propsition, that the right "to coin money and regulate the value thereof" is all Ihe power with which the framers of that instrument ever intended to invest Congress. 1 he doctrine of necessity. as applied to a National Bank, was never more thoroughly exploded, by actual facts, than it is now.

There are some other points in this last "great" effort which we had intended to notice, but must defer until another opportunity. Sermons at St. John's Church. The first of the course was delivered by the Rev. Dr.

Higbio last evening to a crowded auditory. Wc hope to present a brief sketch of it to morrow but our notes would puzzle a greater adept in hieroglyphics than Champollion him selt, and we must take time to decypher thern. Acquitted. Rev. Owen Lovejoy, indicted for aiding two persons, alleged to belong to some person in some State or Territory unknown," was tried at the Circuit Court of Bureau county, Illinois, held the first and second weeks of last month, and fully acquitted.

The fellow Du Piuron, the suspected pirate, and about whom so much fuss was made in New Orleans a year or two since, has lately been Been on board a suspicious looking craft in Havana, bound for the Gulf.

Ej" Professor. Delamar will lecture at the Brooklyn Institute to morrow evening on the subject of tho Papal Usurpation. See advt. Wreck of thb Packet Ship The packet ship Sheffield, Capt. Popham, left Liverpool on the 5th Oct.

with a valuable cargo of dry goods, hardware, salt, consigned to R. Kermit, Esq. Arrived off Fire Island, she took a Pilot on Saturday, 11th inst. at 10 A. M.t wind fresh from S.

with rain. At about 1 P. M. while in the act of hauling on the wind for the purpose of standing off, went ashore on the East Bank, a short distance to the Northward of Homer. In a short time the sea made a complete breach over her the ship striking very heavily.

At 3 P. M. the tnasts were cut away to ease her previously to this she bilged, and the water at this time was nearly up to the ceilings of the cibin. The passengers were obliged to shelter themselves in the round house on deck, in which situation they remained for 14 hours. The wind very fortunately veered round to the N.

between 10 and 11 P.M. bringing clear weather and contributing much'to smooth the violent easterly sea which had been raging during the afternoon. At about 2 A. M. Sunday morning, the steamer Wave, Capt.

Vanderbilt, went to their assistance, and received on board all the passengers and the crew, with the exception of Capt. Pop ham, 2 mates, and 4 seaman, who remained behind to save what they could. About two thirds of Ihe baggage of Ihe steerage passengers was saved, but we regret to learn that the baggage belonging to the cabin passengers was mostly left in the cabins, and will be greatly damaged. There were 15 cabin and 90 steerage passengers. The Steamer Hercules arrived from the wreck yesterday at 10 A.

M. reports that the probability is that the ship will be lost; but shouid the weather prove favorable most of the cargo will be saved in a wet state. The schr. Excelsior was along side, and when the lido fell would be able to save part of the cargo. The ship and cargo were insured in the principal Wall street offices.

Juur.af Com. Among the passengers was the Rev. Dr. Cutler, of St. Ann's church in this city, who assisted in ihe services yesterday afternoon.

He had previously related to the Sabba'h School children, the particulars of the wreck and in a manner that diew tears from his young auditors. While the passengers were cooped together in the round house, prayers were frequently offered, and the whole company sailors and all participated with sincerity and earnestness. Narrative of the Tkavels and Adven tures of Monsieur Violet, in. California, Western Texas, written by Capt. Marryalt.

The character of this work may be readily inferred from its title; and the fact that Captain Marryatt is the writer, will secure for it a host of readers. The data purports to have been furnished by a young French nobleman, who, with his father, was permitted to share the exile of Charles tho Tenth after the Revolution of July IS30 "which proved the ruin of many individuals, more especially of many ancient families who were attached to the crown." Af'er they had recovered, in a measure, from the shock, the whole party sought to assuage their grief by travel, and hence the present volume. We may say, therefore, that had the liberty of the press not existed in France prior to sly, 1830, no attempt would have been made to abridge it the French people would not have taken up arms their monarch would not have been dethroned and driven into exile Monsieur Violet and his father would not have accompanied him the whole party would not have travelled the volume before us would not have been written Winchester would not have published it a very low rate and we, at tliis moment, should have been doing something else Wherein we perceive the advantages ol a free press. Afflicting. The Burlington Free Press relates a sad calamity that befell three sons of iur.

As he rose, he applied to his brothers for help. George, aware the danger, hesitated, and cautioned William against the attempt but the latter, regardless of danger, rushed to the rescue, followed by the younger brother and, sorrowful to say, the three perished together Loss of the Steamboat Luda.

On the morning of the 1st instant, the steam packets Luda and De Soto came in contact while the Luda was ascending and the De Soto descending the Mississippi, by which accident the Luda was sunk and rendered a total loss. The accident took place near Bayou Goula landing. Two colored persons were missing. The boat and cargo are a total loss, and said to be without insurance. A Lost Island.

One of the officers on board the U. S. Schooner Phoenix, just returned from the West Indies, says "I cannot too soon, for the special benefit of navigators, inform them that the Baxo del Combo, which is laid down on all the charts of the West Indies, does not in reality exist, as was thoroughly and practically demonstrated by the Phoenix in her recent cruise, having run directly over the spot where it is said to be situated." Arrested. A gang of counterfeiters and general villians, in Louisville. Their names are Garrison and wife, Unnd, and a worthy named Towsey the latter of whom carried on some extensive swindling transactions some three or four years since in this city where he prosecuted 'he business of a druggist.

The En glish Churchman says We are enabled to announce to our readers a fact which, in ordinary times, would be one of little moment, but to which recent circumstances have conspired to impart an almost univeral interest that the new number of the British Critic is the last that will appear under the present management. We understand that the editor has signified to the publishers that not only be.but all his friends purpose to withdraw at once from the Review." Brooklyn, Nov. 9, 1843. To the Editor of the Eagle In justice to one of fearless, honest, and consistent Democrats known to the great; party of which your journal is so prominent and efficient an organ, I desire, through you, to call public attention to the illiberal and infamous manner in which a Mr. Nicholson was treated by the leaders of the Native American clique at their late Mass Meeting in New York.

The prominent actors in that disgraceful arid insulting farce published a general invitation for the attendance of all native born Americans, and Mr. Nicholson as one of the most worthy and respectable of that portion of our citizens very naturally supposed that his presence would be greeted with atrue welcome. What must have been his astonishment, however, when, instead of meeting with a band of brothers," associated together for worthy and patriotic purposes, he discovered a clique of intolerant politicians and disappointed office seekers, whose avowed object was to anathematise foreigners of all countries, grades, and professions, and give utterance to impious and profane execrations against the Catholic Religion. Is it possible that there can be a sane, rational, or liberal man who, for a moment, will give a patient ear to the infuriated ravings of these worse than madmen It cannot be; and still less can it be possible that the Utopian schemes, and most uncharitable, unneighborly, and anti christian doctrines of such individuals, will ever bo successful in organizing an exclusive political party sufficiently strong or powerful to be deemed of any consequence or consideration. Should this country be involved in war with another nation, would not these self same "Native Americans" not only expect, but insist upon, the aid of the very foreigners whom they affect to despise, in fighting their battles, and contributing to their pecuniary necessities 1 In the victories which have been achieved, both by sea and land, have not adopted citizens contended as bravely, battled as fearlessly, and made as many sacriries, as the bravest and best man ever born on the 6oil All of danger, of difficulty, of toil, risk of life, and loss of property must they endure but, forsooth, only to the pampered individual who is accidentally a native are to be awarded the honors and the fruits of triumph and success.

The sapient supporters of such a creed ought unquestionaly to have leather medals for their superior wisdom, or baptism in a horse pond for their extraordinary lack of selfishness. The Mr. Nicholson who was so infamously maltreated by the leaders of this most potent party is not only an American by birth, but the son of an officer who fought valiantly for the liberties we now enjoy, shortly afterwards leaving Mr. N. an orphan to struggle, at an early age, with all the vicissitudes, cares and anxieties of a cold, calculating, and inhospitable world.

By dint of untiring industry and application, rigid fidelity and uprightness in all his transactions, and a reputation pure and unsullied, he now occupies as proud and enviable a station in the commercial worid as any man need d2sii besides being, politically, distinguished as a warm, zealous, and consistent democrat, and the only objection which this beautiful Native American clique (a majority of whom, by the by. are unadulterated Down pretended to have against him was, that he worshipped his God in the Church and in the rites of hid forefathers, and according to the dictates of a pure conscience, and a guileless heart. If auch be ihe justice, the toleration, and the liberality of the Native" Party, the sooner it isfio.vnsd down by an indignant community, the better it will be for the character of our na'ion as one of the most free and enlightened on the earth, and for the reputation of our people as the most generous, hospitable, and brave.

Some paper states that a fellow wrote home to his father as follows "You had better come out to Sangamon county, Illinois, for mighty mean men get office here." Anew kind of Currency. We have heard of all kinds of currency, from pewter rips," down to iiltle dogs," but we never dreamed of a herring" currency yet. But it seems that in North Carolina, just such a currency obtains, through it must be confessed it is a currency of the most scaly character. A gentleman travelling in that Btate, (33 savi: one of our exchanges,) recently got outofliie stage to refresh himself, and after taking a glass of whiskey and treating the driver, he threw down half a dollar. The bar keeper looked perplexed, and said, "I have no silver change, sir, but plenty of the common, if vou will take, it," llsre he counted out thirty seven herrings, which the traveller had to roll up in a piece of paper and take with him, thinking they might serve him for a dinner.

The stage wonton, and at the next stopping place he hailed an old lady, and asked if she could sell him a loaf of bread. She offered hirn a large loaf of fresh rye, and in return, he counted out six herrings. La me," she exclaimed, where did you get so much change Can you change me a qua ter 7" This he did cheerfully, and had six herrings remaining to eat. There's a "currency" that would puzzle Old Adam Smith himself to find a place for in his Political Economy. Gen.Beutkand.

Thomas Gill was tried for an assault and battery upon John Dawson at the city saloon the evening before the election and acquitted. The evidence was very contradictory as to the commission of the offence, and the various witnesses agreed upon these facts in the case only, that a high state of excitement at the time pervaded the saloon, that the organs of vision of all present were somewhat clouded, and that they couldn't with positiveness tell anything about it. It was an electioneering bar room scene, in which 'Hurrah for is followed by a knock down on the part of the friends of the opposing candidate, and vice versa, terminating in a general row for which nobody is to blame, and in which every body takes part, to the especial benefit and amusement of the landlord. Luke McLaughlin came into Court again, but uiider other circumstances than before, being charged with an assault and battery upon Thomas Gill at the same time as the above. On this occasion he came to beg that he might not be committed, and his tearful eyes and lugubrious countenance bore true witness of his contriteness and remorse.

Gill, upon observ ing Luke's extreme distress, relented, and they adjusted the difficulty in an amicable manner. Luke has resolved to sign the pledge and aban don the use of liquor, in which event he will become an ornament to society. Thomas Cogins, was arrested for an assault and battery upon John Devins, and as the affair took place during a political discussion in which both exhibited loo much warmth and ill temper, they concluded, in their more calm and sober moments, to settle it in a friendly way, so the complaint was dismissed. The same disposition was made of a like comp'aint against John Creighton and Thomas' Cogins made by David Aims, which occurred under similar circumstances and was also amicably settled. The e.ection appears to have been attended with the usual violence of feeling and number of rights.

I feel assured that this act of public duty is in accordance with the wishes of Ihe People, and will meet with universal acquiescence.

As a People, we have great reason to be thankful, and to praise the Almighty Dispenser of all Good, for the continued smile of His providence on our State and Nation. During the past year, we have been permitted to enjoy our religious and political privileges unmolested. We have been exempt from those ravages of malignant disease which sometimes afflict a people. The season has been highly propitious, and seldom has the harvest been more abundant. As a crowning blessing, 'he Spirit, of the Lord has revived the hearts of Christians and brought to a saving knowledge many who knew not God.

For the distinguished blessings we have enjoyed, we should raise our hearts in humble adoration to cur Father in Heaven; thereby presenting to the world the imposing spectacle of the entire population of a great State, abstaining from all secular engagements on the day designated, and devoting themselves to the service of the Almighty. We should always remember that righteousness exalteth a nation."

BOUCK. Horrible Murder and Suicide. The Cincinnati Message says: We learn by a letter from Little Rock, a living near that place, named Doyle, murdered his wife on the 20th in the following manner He was boiling a pot of rosin and grease over the fire, and some high words taking place between him and his wife, in a phrensy of rage, he turned the pot with its contents over her head The poor woman's screams were heard by a neighbor the only one living within the distance of half a mile who reached the house just in time to see her breathe her last. Her head and face were entirely coated and seared with the pitch, which had run into her bosom and down tho back of her neck. The husband escaped but the alarm being given, several persons started in pursuit, and found him the next day about five miles from the house, lying dead on his face in a little rivulet, with his throat cut from car to ear, and a bloody jack knife clasped tightly in his hand.

Dnyle was a poor man, having spent by dissipation a small properly which he got by his wife. A Man Killed at the Mill Dam.
