1. ARTHUR. Anrdino to tho uravisions net oiAssemniy in a neighboring stale, an insolvent debtor, on giving up hi. property is released all his mnncyed nb li eitions so far as the law is concerned. If he should become possessed of a million of dollars, the result of acflTmnobastness after his failure, be can hold it from all the ofhis creditors, provided he does not acknowledge his indebtedness in writing, or mrlmllv iii tho presence of a witness.

It often happens that a man who has a good dcul ofhnpe in his menial compositionwith intelligence and energy of character gets beyond his depth and fails. This insolvent law releases him from the burden nrrfi.Kt.nnrl 11 wiser and prudent man, he starts again A the world As soon as he is fairly under way, a certain class of his former creditors at proach him, and cndei.Tor to get from him some acknowledgment ofhis old claim. Ion often it happens that the debtor "assumes enough of these obligations which' are usually pressed for at once to swamp him 'again. But, in general, even the strict honest debtor who intends paying all claims against him, if ever ableis very cautious not to acknowledge anything until he is ready to pay it. There are many, however, who positively refuse, even after becoming comparatively wealthy, to inert 5 a single obligation contracted previously, even (hough the debt be to one who greatly needs what is owed "him.

A case of this kind occurred with a man who we will designate by the name of Woodfall. He was a fellow oflhe coolest temper in the wnrlo. and had a high regard for justice and honor when they brought dollars into his own pocket. He did business rather carelessly, and failed in consequence. One ofhis creditors, named Jacobs, was a man who bad a large family to support.

He could not hear the Inssof five hundred dollars without great inconvenience. On the day after Woodfall went through the mill." as it was called, Jacobs met him in the road. They both lived a country village. I am snrrny from my heart at your misfortune," said the latter. And so am was returned.

But what can be cured must be endured. I shall try again." With more' success, I hope." "Doubtless. And then I will remember you Jacobs. I know you nave as much as you can do to get along, and it grieves me to think that thro' my failure, you should be into more trouble." I know if it is ever in your power, all will be made up to Your piinc.ipal and interest. I shall see the day yet, I hope, when I can look every honest man I am hardly able to keep soul and body together, Really.

I am sorry to hear you say so but take courage times are growing oeucr long before I shall have it in my power to make all straight with you. Uould you do a little lor me now i If it was only a five dollar bill at a time, it would Help me very much." Oh, yes: I can do that for you easily enough." I thank yon from my heart, Mr. Woodfall," replied the grateful creditor. When shall 1 call' on you." Almost any time." To morrbv Yes, certainly." very well 1 will see you to morrow. Woodfall rode with Jacobs for a couple of miles.

The latter promised to call for him ln.the evening as he'returned home. i i i (Concluded in our next) Snioklun fifaglc, Ti ES MAY TEVJIuTsEPxTSr TUt) Cuilgaiiontt of Public Officers. The duties of public officers may not improperly be divided into two classes, one embracing those legal and official requirements which the laws of the land and the oath of office of the incumbent particularly impose upon him, and the other having reference to the moral and political obligations which, in a republican and representative form of government, require those elevated to uowcr. to carrv out the wishes of their constituents so far as lliey do not conflict with their oilier duties. Of the former wc have nothing at present to say our business is with the latter.

All political parlies have, in this State.when in the ascendent, put their friends in such public places as were under their control. Their motto has been similar to the answer of Elbridge Gerry, when, after the great political conflict of 1800, he was asked whether tho federalists would be turned nut by Mr. Jefferson, and he answeicd "Why not? What in God's name have we been fighting for if not for the offices?" So have our parties held, in precept and in practice, that the prevailing parly had the moral as well as the legal right to fill the public offices with then friends. This doctrine, so long establish ed, the Democracy, at least, expect to be carried out We wish not to be misunderstood. We do no wish to prosciibe for opinion's sake.

We mean mere ly to contend for what is recognized by all our polit ical parties, and thai is the right of the dominant party lo have that control of public affairs and public ufiieers, which il is the very object of an election to give, and to which ilssucccss enliiles it. Individuals placed in ministerial and executive places by the popular voice, or appointed by those so placed, arc such as must give effect to thj doctrine of which wo are speaking. The obligation is upon them to go onward, and discharge the duty which those who voted for them have imposed. They have no right lo sit at their case and say, the election is over, we have been elected, and the party must take care of itself. They have no right to leave lucrative and important public offices in the hands of their op.

ponents, when they have it in their power lo take then away and bestow them upon friends equally capable. Further, the obligation extends to the selection by them of the faithful men of the party. They have no right to bestow the rewards of office upon the Hessians of the campaign or upon those who have deserted its standard in the days of trial or who have their feathers so short as hardly to appear fully fledged in the cause. The lntegnty, of jic, ajjv. support of its principles rewarded.

The new convert should at least go through his period of proba. tion, before admitted to the order of office holder. With remarks as preliminary, we will proceed to discharge a duly which we owe to the incorruptible democracy of Brooklyn to expose misman agerncnt at the dry dock in this city, and the gross disregard which has been, and still continues to be paid to their wishes. Wc will also have some thing to say of some others, who are sitting on velvet and faring sumptuuusly every day, but who could no1 find time to vote for Mr. Polk, and yet are retained in office.

But we have said enough for to day. Iater prom Havana. Advices from Havana to the 16th lilt, have been received at New Orleans. There is no farther news from Mexico, and business was dull. The drought at Matanzas continued, no rain having fallen for two months.

Pine apples were taken from Havana to Matanzas to be sold on speculation. One or two earthquakes had been felt at St. Jago de Cuba, and one at Havana. Several new mining companies have commenced operations at Cobre, near St Jago de Cuba, for the purpose of working the vast copper mines in that district. Amongst them one lately established in Baltimore, with a capital of 'I he object of this new company is not only to work the mines in Cuba, but to also send ihe copper in its raw state to iltimorc, where a foundry for the smelt, ing of the ore has been established upon a very large scale.

The cargoes previously, of copper ore from St. Jago de Cuba, were generally sent to Swansea, in Wales, for smelling, and the operations in this line of business were very considerable. S3 The Liberation festival in honor of Governor Dorr, given by the Democracy of Rhode Island, was celebrated on Wednesday last, at Morris's Grove. Clney Ballou, Esq, o'f Cumberland, presided.

At twn o'clock the multitude adjourned to dinner, and on rc asscuiblirig in the Grove, were addressed by him in whose honor they had assembled Ihe patriot Dorr. The Providence Herald says: Shout up in shout went forth as he made his appearance upon the stand, and at every moment's interval in his speech Ihe air rang wilh the applause of the people. His speech, though very brief, seemed lo nmpuc Ihe hearts of all present with frci courage, and the delerminalion to renew the contest lor a complete tiiuinnh of Iheir principles, was ffxed'firmer and deeper in every breast.

Pic. of Aug. 31. Latest from Corpus Cltrisli Arrival of tiie Alabitina.o Fighliiir; yelMealll of 'J'rooiis, fcc. By the arrival yesterday morning of the steamship Alabama, Windlc, from Aransas Bay, we have intelligence from Corpus Chrisli up to Wednesday evening last.

One of the editors of the Picayune came passenger in the Alabama, and brings the latest news. The most important intelligence, perhaps, is the non confirmation of the many late exciting reports relative to the movements of the Mexican army, and the probability of un engagement between the forces under Gen. Taylor and the Mexicans So far there no prospect of a fight. Gen Taylor himself docs not anticipate such an event. Gen.

Arista is at Mataiunras with about 2000 men, entrenching himself, and knows of Gen Taylor's nos'nion. It is believed, that if Arista had marched once upon General Taylor, when the latter first landed, he might easily have overcome him, and so on with other detachments as they enntiuueu in ar rive but it is now too late. Our army at Corpus Chrisli al this tune numbers some 2000 strong, and is now in a condition to resist fotir or five times that number of Mexicans. Ihe country too, between the Rio Grande and Corpus Chrisli. cannot now sup poit an army in attack orient the principal impedi ments being a scarcity of water, ol whicli there little or none at all.

On Sundav. the 24.h inst the Alabama anchored off St. Joseph's Island, in 53 hours from the Balize. with the troops and volunteers Irom tnis cuy. yn the passage there was a little rough weather, with considerable thunder and lightning, nut no acciueiu occurred, and all arrived in good condition.

The next morning all the troops landed andwcnt into camp on St. Joseph's. On Tuesday the volunteers, Major G. illy's anil Capl. Forno's companies of artillery, embarked lor Corpus Chrisii, 35 miles distant, on board the steamboat Dayton, and joined Gen Taylor's encampment the same evening.

When the Alabama Icfl Aransas Bay, the U. S. troops on the Island were preparing start for Cor. pus Chrisli, and probably by this time they have all been removed, except a few to proteet the ston The. Monmouth and Dayton, however, were busy in transporting the stores, and soon every thing will be removed.

The briir William Ivv. which was chartered this city some lime since, to take, two companies of the 4th Infantry lo Aransas Bay, arrived on thc Mth st ends, but she forlunalely lighted in a few minutes without damage. Previous to the storm, one of the soldiers on board of her, in a fit of mania a potu, jumped A boat was lowered, and went after him, and though he resisted, he was picked up and taken on board and tied. When the squall struck the brig, he was released, that he might not drown if thrown into the water, when he again juinncd into the sea and was lost. The brig sailed on the 26th instant for Matagorda.

The selir. Edward S. Laiudin, with quarter master's stores from New Orleans, arrived at St. Joseph's on the morning of the 25lh. On the morning of the 2Gth inst.

the U. S. brig Lawrence, Commander Jarvis, arrived from the Balize, and came to anchor oft' the Island of St Joseph's all well. When the Alabama left, the Lawrence expected to sail on the 27th for Pcusacola. The schooner Mary Wilkes, from this city, arrived at Aransas last Wednesday, having on board Col.

Whistler and Maj Stanniford, of the army, together with horses, stores, G. VV Lay came passenger in the Alabama, having despatches fnr the Government from Gen. Taylor. He leaves for Washington lo day. Lieut.

Ringgold, who passed through this city some time since with despatches to Texas arrived at Aran sas on the 24th, from Galveston, in the. Texan revenue cutter Santa Anna, wilh despatches for Gen. Taylor, and proceeded ut once to Corpus Chrisli. He also came passenger in the Alabama. On Monday tho 25th, we had news' of the arrival of the 2d regiment dragoons, under Col.

Twiggs, within four miles ofGen. Taylor'scncampmcnt, winch they were to have joined last Thursday. They were very fortunate in their long march wilh their horses not having lost any. There were, however, two or three desertions. They heard and saw nothing of Mexicans on their route.

Near San Antonio there was a large body of Ca. manches (about 300 in all) some of whom visited Col. Twiggs. They seemed friendly, and much delighted ut the idea of the United States making war against Mexico. They informed Col.

Twiggs that they were going toward the Mexican borders, and intended hostilities against the Mexicans; The daring of these Indians is well known. A conversalion not a little amusing occurred while they were in the dragoon encampment. They seemed to admire the horses very much, arid asked Col. Twiggs if they would be allowed to steal any pf The Colonel, in his usual eccentric manner, told them if they took any ofhis horses he would hang tiicrn. The Ca.

nanches did not much relish this style of plain English," but asked if they might not steal the Mexican's horses. The Colonel said they might steal what they pleased from the latter, but not to trouble anything belonging to the Americans, or ho would string them up. During.a thunderstorm a few days ago a tent was struck by lightning at Corpus Chrisli, and a valuable servant, belonging lo Lieut. Bragg, of the Artillery, instantly killed by the fluid. Others were consider ably stunned, but they recovered.

The schooner Florinda was at Aransas, to sail for Pcusacola last Thursday. This is all the news of tho slightest importance which we were able lo gather. So far, every thing at Aransas and Corpus Chrisli is quiet. The troops and volunteers are all well and in lino spirits. Gen.

Taylor, as we have already slated, does not antici. pale a collision with Arista, or another Mexican force. He will throw detachments of the dragoons forward between Ilis quarters and the Uio Grande from time lo time, so that it will be impossible for nn army lo advance upon him without his being apprised of the fact. Wilh the men under his command, and the excellent pieces of artillery two 12 pounders, and six 6's taken down by the volunteers from this city, his position is, in every respect, perfectly safe from any attack the Mexicans may think of making upon him. Deer and other game are plenty in the vicinity of the post, and the waters abound wilh finest fish and oysters.

P. S. Tho Alabama got into the South West Pass on Friday, at 5 p. in. 43 hours from Aransas.

The steamer Creole was seen off the south West Pass last Sunday, for Aransas, but she had not arrived when Ihe Alabama sailed. Saw nothing of her on of Monday, September 8, 1815. Present His Honor the Mayor presiding, and Aid. Leo, Powell, Stilwell, Bokcc, J. C.

We are informed that the accused made a delcnce so triumphant and complete that his Excellency has decided to take no further action in the premises, regarding ihe charges as frivolous, and unsustaincd by testimony. Iltruld. Police.

Three rowdies, named Patrick Culen, Thomas Wallace and Arthur Hagan, were brought up on an agglomerated charge of disorderly conduct, assault and battery, raising the ancient Edward," and breaking things. It seems that they, in compa ny with several other individuals, not yet arresletl, hired a caniage belonging to Mr. Genrge'Van Brunt whereof William Robinson, a colored darky," was the Jehu, embarked therein, Wallace getting upon the box by the side of the driver, and set off on spree, rroceeuing clown myrtle avenue, mc insiaes insisted on stopping at Dullon's, corner of Jackson street but the outside'gent'eman prevented William from doing so, by seizing the reins, pushing him off into the street, where he was left sprawling, and then drove away at a furious rate toward the Wallabout. Here the new driver ran into Mr. James Chamberlain's wagnn, which was standing before the house, and smashed it the inside passengers shouting and hallooing away at a most terrific rate.

They brought up at Hornbuckle's tavern, at the Wallabout, went in, and upon being refused liquor which they had called for, on account of being intoxicated, they broke a beer pump and several other articles. Having indulged themselves in this outrageous conduct, they re embarked and drove off. Mr. Chamberlain had by this time saddled a horse, and following, overtook them upon the old Wallabout road, some distance towards Brooklyn. He accosted them, and told them he wanted satisfaction for his broken wagon.

Wallace told him he "would give him satisfac tion" whereupon he and the rest alighted, and commenced beating his horse over the head, and attempted to strike Chamberlain. The latter, however, succei ded in frecing hiinself Ironi them. They then proceeded in the direction of VVilliarnsburgh, where 'wfiefe'lhey weren'iTalTyTrresledby officer Clayton. After a hearing of the case, the prisoners were fined $20 each, and sentenced to the'eounty jail ten days. Mary Decchin was convicted of an assault and battery upon Jane Burns, at 55 York street, and fined 5.

John Wheeler, of the IVallahout, being jealous of his wife, thought proper to confirm her virtue by bruising her face with his fist for which offence he was fined $5, and committed to jail in default. Anti Rent. The plea of the anti renters for the recent murder of Steele was, that they only fired in self defence that the murdered man commenced the attack, by discharging ilis pisto! first. This assertion is now proved to be false. The.

young man that picked up Steele's pistol has been found at Delhi, and his testimony given before the coroner's jury, shows conclusively that Steele's pistol had not been fired at all. It is a six barrel revolver, and the boy swears positively that shortly after leaving ihe ground where Steele was murdered, he and his companion examined the pistol that every barrel was loaded! that each of the six tubes had a cap on! and that he and his companion each fired it three times 1 Any Dorrism here The Providence Herald has the following Col.

G. YATES. Brooklyn, May 3d, 1845. my30 tf in the face when no one can say to me, 1 ay mc what thou owest If is your spirit, you will see it." I believe was the confident reply. So don't let the loss you have met with through me, inconvenience you lnnre than you can help.

All will turn out light Your five hundred dollars may come at a tune when they are much more needed. Inan they arc at present." After this conversation, Jaoobs felt more comfortable. He knew that Woodfall was an active, enterprising man. and he believed that be would, in the course of a few years, be in a condition to pay him bin live hundred dollars, "principal and interest." Time passed on. Woodfall, who bad kept a store previous to bis failure, man aged to get a new stock of goods, and again commenced business At the end of the second year, he had done so well that he was able to build a hnu c.

liul not a word had he said to any one about paying off old scores. At length. Jacobs, poor man, had been growing poorer instead of richer, thought that it would be no harm to call his debtor's attention to the fact of his having promised to remember him. So, one day. he called in and said to him, in the presence of his clerk Mr.

Woodfall, if you think you are to do a little for me. no matter how little I shall feel greatly obliged. I wouldn't have said one word only I am dreadfully put to it to get along." "Do a little for you? How? I don't exactly understand you," was Woodfall's reply with a hok of innocent surprise. That old account you know, Mr. Woodfall." "Old account? I don't know of any old ac count, Mr.

Jacobs." Oil, j'es Don't you remember the five hun "TTdo rem mlicr that I owed you that sum but it was paid long ago. No man can come forward in this world and claim a dollar from inc." Jacobs looked confounded. At first he was strongly tempted to gel angry, and speak out a piece of his mind pretty freely tiut he restrained tins feeling, and merely remarked in a low lone that icachi only iiis debtor's ears From you I did it e.vpe this." He then turned off abruptly and Jell the store. Poor Jacobs was terribly disappointed at this unexpected issue. He had watched all of Woodfall's operations with an anxious eye, counting every dollar that he made, and seeing in bis evident prosperity the security of Iiis money.

But now the lond hope so long cherished, of recovering his own, faded away and left him in gloom and despondency. On the next day he met Woodfall in the street and was about passing liiui, when that individual paused and reaching out his band said, with the ino.st perfect self possession, as if nothing had happened to interfere with their friendly relations Ah, good morning, friend Jacobs. How are you lo.day Jacobs yielded his hand reluctantly, and replied colillv I am well." How aie you gelling on now pursued Wood fall Badly enough," was briefly returned. I am really sorry to hear it. But don't be discouraged.

There's nothing like perseverance. Ilis one of tiic main springs ol success." This made Jacubs angry, and he said with a good deal of warinih There is little good in persevering if, at last, you arc to lose the hard earnings of four or five ears at a zfiiriglc stroke of an insolvent's pen." You allude to mc, 1 suppose.1' I certainly do." Don't malie yourself uneasy, my friend that matter is sale enough. I will pay you every ccnl I owe you before long." Didn't you deny being my debtor to the amount of a single cent yesterday?" I. did but that was in the presence ofa witness. Do you understand I am not quite ready to pay you yet, and don't intend acknowledging the debt u.ilill I am.

But make yourself easy about it your money is safe, enough." Thus Hssuicd, Jauobs felt relieved in mind. Ilis business was bad, not really yielding bim a comfortable support lor his family but Hie promise of Wood fall had inspned him with new energy, lie counted on his five hundred dollars as ceitain. for his debtor Was 'making money far and he would, without mnibl. Icel perfectly able in a little while to make all straight vvitli him. JSix months more rolled by, during which time not a word was said about the old claim, although the debtor and creditor met every lew days.

There be gun to be quite a marked contrast in th ir appearance. Woodfall had a cheerful, contented look, while the whole aspect of Jacubs face, ujipaiel and all was dejected and poor. The businessof Jacobs required him to keep a horse and wagon, and to make fre quent short journeys into the country. In the Winter time, a roughly con strutted sleigh look the place ol tho wagon. So much reduced did he at length become, that it lie came a serious question whether he would not be obliged lo sell bis horse, although be might almost as Well sell his tools with which he wuikrd as his horse One cold day in January, he hitched old Tom to his sleigh, and started off "with some of his wares for a neighboring village.

1 passing the store of Wood iall, lie was hailed by its owner Stop, Jacobs," cried the individual I am ro mg a mile or two out of town, and it you have'no objections, will keep your company None the leasi," rcp.icd Jacobs, over whose mind instantly spread the pleasing hoH! of being to uersuadc his deutor to remember him at this late day. Woodfall got into ilie sleigh with a bright, cheerful face. They had not ridden far before he said "I believe, Jacobs, that it is most tune that I was bo inning to lemcinber you. How are you ucllim, along?" enough. If you don't do something foi me, 1 shall be broken up." Oh, no not so bad as that.".
