0isnr of the Declaration at Independence. Of the fifty nix signers of the Declaration of Independence it is stated that nine were born in Massachusetts eight in Virginia five in Maryland; four in Connecticut four in New Jersey; four iu Pennsylvania; four in South Carolina; three in New York; three in Delaware two in Rhode Island one in Maine three in Ireland two in England two in Scotland, and one in Wales. Twenty one were attorneys len mechanics four physicians three farmers one clergyman one printer; sixteen were men of fortune. Eeight were graduates of Harvard College; four of Yale; three of New Jersey; two of Philadelphia; two of William and Mary three of Cambridge, England, two of Edinburgh, and one of St. Omer's.

At the time of their deaths, five were over 90 years of age seven between 80 and 90 eleven between 70 and 80 twelve between 60 and and 70; eleven between 50 and 60; seven between 40 and 50 one died at the age of 27, and the age of two uncertain. At the time of signing the declaration, the average age of the members was 44 years. They lived to the average age of more than 8ixty five years and ten months. The youngest member was Edward Rutlege, of South Carolina, who was in his 27th year. He lived to the age of 51.

The next yongest member was Thomas Lynch, of the same State, who was also in his 27thyear. He was cast away at sea in the fall of 1776, Benjamin Franklin was the oldest member. He was in his 71st year when he signed the declaration. He lived until 1790, and survived 16 of his younger brethren. Stephen Hopkins, of Rhode Island, the next oldest member, was born in 1707, and died in 1785.

Charles Carroll attained the greatest age, dying in his 96th year. William Ellery, of Rhode Island, died in his 91st year. minutes of the different conferences at the Me thodist Episcopal Church, just published, it ap pears that the whole number of members in the United States is 1,063,951, in Texas 3,733, and in Liberia 836 total, 1,068,525. The increase last year was 154,624 an increase, we believe, unparalleled in the history of this or any other religious denomination, in modern Times. There are those yet living who joined the Methodist Episcopal Church when the whole body of its members was but 30,000, or ilesa than one third of the increase during the last year.

The Wesleyan Methodists number only about twice as many members in the island of Great Britain, as the additions made last year to the Methodist Episcopal Church in America, Subjoined is the number of members in this i city and the suburban towns, and some of the other principal cities in the United States White.

A Capital Joke. The Lord Chancellor of Ireland having recently made an appointment to risit the Dublin Insane Asylum, repaired thither in the absence of the chief manager, and was admitted by one of the keepers, who was waiting to recive a patient answering the appearance of Sir Edward.

He appeared to be very talkative, but the attendants humored him, and answered all his questions. He asked if the Surgeon General had arrived and the keeper answered him that he had not yet come, but that he would be there immediately. Well," said he, I will inspect some of the rooms until he arrives." Oh, no, sir," said the keeper, we could mot permit that at all." Then I will walk for a while in the garden," said his Lordship, while I am waiting for him." We cannot let you go there either, sir," raid the keeper. What said he, do n't you know that I the Lord Chancellor?" Sir," said the keeper, we have four more Lord Chancellors here already." He got into a great fury, and they were beginning to think of the straight waistcoat for him, when, fortunately, the Surgeon General ai rived. "Has the Chancellor arrived yet 7" asked he.

The man burst out laughing at him, and id, Yes, sir, we have him safe but he is by far the most outrageous patient we have." Mr. O'Connell told this anecdote in Dublin, at a public meeting. On a very Simple Means of Arresting Bleeding at the Nose. This consists in nothing more than closing with the opposite hand the nostril from which the blood flows, while the arm of the same side is raised perpendicularly above the, head. In every instance in which he has had recourse to this means during the past three years, M.

Negrier has always found that it suspended the htemorrhoo a fact of which he offers the following explanation When a person stands in the ordinary posture, with his arms hanging down, the force needed to propel the blood through his upper extremities, is about one half that which would be required if his arms were raised perpendicularly above his head. But since the force which sends the blood through the carotid arteries, is the same as that which causes it to circulate through the branchial arteries, and there is nothing in the mere position of the arms above the head to stimulate the heart to increased action, it is evident that a less vigo rous circulation through the carotids, must result from the increased force required to carry on the circulation through the upper extremities. Interesting Anecdote. The publisher of the Salem Advertiser, tells us, the following good Btory. It is a jewel Passing down Essex street, lately, we were accosted by a gentleman thus Did you not print a paper in some twelve years ago 1 we replied.

I owe you dollars for subscription to that continued the gentleman, 'and I wish to pay you what is justly your We leave it for our brethren of the craft to imagine our sensations on hearing this welcome announcement. We were not slow in hunting up the old ledger, and giving the gentleman a receipt for the Grattan's Last Why are the late per formers at the Tremont Theatre like the Tythe Proctors in Ireland Because, from actors, they have been converted into cx actors.

Publishing Office, 39 Fulton street 2d Story. The Olariaua Fourth." To morrow being the Sixty seventh Anniversary of the Declaration of American Independence, the publication of the Eagle will be suspended for that day. This, however, is a mere drop in the ocean of results which will flow from that magnificent cause. From the rising until the going down of the sun, and for several hours antecedent and subsequent to those events, the merry peal of bells, the roar of cannon, and the shouts of freemen on a thousand hills will be heard throughout the whole length and breadth of the republic that is, wherever circumstances do not present an insurmountable barrier; but where neither bells nor guns are to be found, nor citizens in sufficient numbers to get up a respectable cheer, the devout and patriotic sentiments connected with the day will manifest themselves in other and appropriate forms. the suuineness of feelinsr which recently existed in the great cities and towns upon thjs subject originating, probably, in the gorgeous ceremonies attendant upon the President's visit it has gradually disappeared as the festival drew near; and where bodies corporate proverbially without souls have failed to make the customary arrangements for a just observance of the day, the people have put their own shoulders directly to the wheel, and thus secured a morp pnt ciaKt i nnit nnrml thin 11 'rpo6Bu us long aim.

Our country exchanges are freighted with programmes," short orations, patriotic essays, and odes to be said and sung; and if that system of philosophy be true, which teaches that the spirits of the just are permitted to visit this lower world, and interest themselves in its doings, then will the shade of John Adams behold with pleasure a willing obedience to the injunctions of his letter. Upon the thousand and one orators of the day will devolve the task of addressing the people in strains patriotic and exhortatory and of endeavoring to invest the objects of their Pise with some new and attractive guise. This, after the lapse of sixty seven years, is a work of difficulty for eloquence and song music, poetry, sculpture, painting, and the whole sisterhood of graces, have exhausted their treasures of sublimity and elegance in efforts to extol the deeds and perpetuate the fame of our revolutionary sires. Still, it is a grateful duty to revert to an age so prolific of true glory to the American name, and so pregnant of great and lasting benefits to the race of man, as that which gave birth to the Declaration of Independence. The devotion, the patriotism, and the self sacrifice of those who periled their lives, fortunes and honor in support of that instrument can never be correctly appreciated by us the mere recipients of the blessings which it guarantees but we can, nevertheless, meet together, celebrate the virtues of its framers, and renew our obligations and pledges to maintain the priceless treasure inviolate.

In this city arrangements have been made to celebrate the day in a becoming manner. The usual public exercisoa will take place at the Military Garden, in a splendid amphitheatre, fitted up on a gigantic scale, and decorated with taste and elegance. An immense platform has been erected for the orator, reader, poet, music and invited guests several ranges of seats, extending across the entire semicircle, are set apart for the the spacious area is reserved for the citizens generally. In the centre of this great tent is a mast, which supports the apex, wreathed with bunting, and connecting festoons of gay pennants and streamers while flags, likewise disposed in festoons, are stretched around the circle. In another part of the Garden are four ranges of tables, capable of seating five hundred guests, and protected from the sun, wind, or rain, (as the case may be,) by a strong canopy, ornamented with flags, streamers and pennants.

There is nothing half so comfortable and appropriate for a festival of this character, as a real, primitive tent and nothing that can revive half as many patriotic associations. Did not Washington entertain Cornwallis his prisoner and guest in a tent? In the evening a grand display of fireworks will take place at the Military, and another at the Colonnade Garden both under the direction of Stanton, the celebrated Pyrotechnist. As the weather for some time past has been exceedingly favorable to the preparation of these innocent combustibles, we may look for something grand. Of these, however, and of all other matters pertaining to the celebration, our columns contain full details. We subjoin the order of procession, as directed by the Grand Marshal.

The Grand Marshal proposes the following programme, as the order of procession and arrangements, which all associations and citizens taking part in the celebration are respectfully requested to observe. At sunrise a National Salute will be fired on the Heights. At 12 o'clock the Salute will be repeated on Livingston street, fronting Military Garden The Bells of the various Churches will be rung half an hour from sunrise, also at 12 o'clock and previous to the setting of the sun. The line will be formed at 8 o'clock precisely under the direction of Col. Win.

After a protracted drought, and a succession of "hottest days of the season," we had a gentle and refreshing shower last evening, which was alike grateful to the parched earth and to its perspiring and half melted inhabitants. The heat of the morning was so intense that the plants drooped, the flowers shed their petals, and the very leaves curled and almost crisped from its effects. Before 9 o'clock, the mercury had reached 93 degrees, and it continued to rise until about five o'clock, when a gathering of clouds in the West shut out the fierce glare of the sun, and caused the hearts of gasping thousands to leap for joy in anticipation of a shower. Presently it came a shower of wind and dust uprooting trees, throwing flown signs, cutting awnings into ribbons, and enveloping the whole city in amazement and dirt. A couple of trees in the Catho olic burying gronnd, in Jay street, were thrown down; the bav was lashed into uncontrollable fury, several sail boats were upset, and even steamers were endangered still, we have not heard of any serious accident.

Some damage was done to the tents in Military Garden; but it has already been repaired. Two or three hours later, the shower of rain came and although we should have been thankful for we are glad to acknowledge enough to save vegetation. The Cabinet The new Cabinet, it is said, will be constructed after this fashion A. P. Upshur.

J. M. Porter, Secretary of War. C. A.

Wickliffe, Post Master General. John Jelson, Attorney General. We regret to lose Mr. Upshur from the Navy Department. He had taken great pains to become thoroughly acquainted with its duties and had succeeded in effecting some valuable improvements in the condition of that right arm of our national defence.

Among the fruits of his enterprise may be mentioned the laying down of keels for six sloops of war at as many of the principal stations, for the purpose of testing practically the advantages of the different models so zealously re commended by naval constructors, and of adopting the best sailer as a model. It seems to be the fortune of the present administration to lose all the benefits of experience from constant changes in the cabinet. The new incumbents however, are good men and true. ILT" A party of rioters, four in number, who commenced a fight in New York yesterday afternoon, took a notion to finish it in Brooklyn. Accordingly, they crossed the ferry, had a partial set to at the landing, and thence proceeded to the corner of Pearl and Concord streets, where they commenced a regular battle Their sport, however, was soon interrupted by the Mayor, who called upon the citizens to assist him in securing them.

This they attempted in detail, and of course failed. At that moment, the Sheriff made his appearance, remonstrated with the rowdies, (whom he happened to know,) and at length they desisted, and were discharged on parole. Whether they have appeared, to answer, we are not informed. Puns Political. A correspondent of the Exeter News Letter, in an account of the celebration of the Seventeenth, says "I do not like to discuss the President's dress or his drink, but I think hia Porter, is unwholesome, and I dislike the cut of his Spencer.

I believe the people, and the President too, will soon be, if they are not now, the same opinion." Naval. The U. S. frigate Macedonian, commanded by Capt. Mayo, drdpped down from the Norfolk Navy Yard to the naval anchorage on Tuesday.

A letter published in the Baltimore Patriot, from an officer of thd U. S. Navy; dated Port Mahon, May 6, states that the whole Mediterranean squadron, including the Columbus, would get under way on the 7th of May, and after a few days' manoeuvring in fleet exercise, gunnery and seamanship, tinder Com. Morris, would separate in obedience to orders, and pursue their way as previously directed the Congress, it is said, to Syria the Fairfield to France and along the Italian coast, and up the Adriatic to Athens and Smyrna the Columbus to France and Brazil the Delaware to Gibraltar, Cadiz and Lisbon and the Preble to Tunis, Tripoli, Algiers, Gibraltar, and thence to Port Mahon, to receive the sick now in the hospital, and thence to rejoin Com. Morris at Gibraltar, Cadiz or Lisbon.

The Cost. The proprietors of the Philadelphia Ledger wero sued for a libel on the Chronicle of that city and convicted, after two trials, occupying together twelve days. They were ultimately mulcted in the sum of 20 (10 each.) The cost to the county wa8 $1048 16 exclusive of the fees of the Atterney General, Clerk and witnesses. ECT The funeral of General Eustis took place on Thursday at Portland, with the honors due to his rank and character. The deceased was educated for the Bar, and regularly admitted to practice.

On the announcement of this fact in the District Court, that body adjourned, and attended the funeral. Naval. The U. S. sloop of war Boston, Capt.

Long, at Oahu, March 11, was to sail first wind for Boston, via Valparaiso. The U. S. brig Dolphin, Lieut. Com.

Knight, arrived at Pensacola on the 15th was to sail on the 25th for Norfolk. A Tough Subject. A woman nomed Ann Fagan, deliberately snapped a pistol at a police officer in Providence, on Wednesday, who had a warrant for her arrest, but fortunately it missed fire, for it was loaded to the muzzle, and she was secured.

Medicinal Properties of the Croton. Congress Water at a Discount. If the annexed paragraph, from the Journal ef Commerce, be correct as its source would lead us to think the citizens of New York have a treasure in the Croton that they neither dreamed of ncr bargained for. The benefits of pure water are always great, but in the present instance, they would seem to be incalculable "But we have a fact still more important. Croton is relieving a great many persons who were afflicted with the painful disease of stone and gravel.

One of our friends tells us that no less than a dozen cases have already been mentioned to him. A gentleman who was sadly affected with the stone, and who resides in Brooklyn, was induced by what he heard of the efficacy of Croton water, to take a keg of it to his house, and to use it freely at his store in the city, and his disease is removed."

The steamboat Trapper arrived at our wharf this morning from the Yellow Stone river.

She had on board about 1,200 packs of buffalo robes, to P. Chouteau, Jr. Co. The Trapper left here about fifteen months ago, was unable to reach her ultimate destination, and wintered at Fort St. Pierre.

It is with regret we state that Capt. Josiah Cleave land of Oweero, Tiosa Countv, N. who tra velled a distance of 450 miles to' be present at the Bunker Hill celeblfatioh an the seventeenth, died this morning at tha residence of Samuel C. Hunt, in Charlestown where he had for several days been hospitably entertained, receiving every attention which could contribute to his comfort. The worthy and respected Revolutionary patriot was in the ninetieth year of his age.

He was a native of Connecticut and a volunteer at the battle of Bunker Hill. The first man whe was killed in that action, received his wound from a cannon ball, fired from the Glasgow, while he was reclining on the green sward at the side of Cleaveland. This departed hero was in active service during the whole of the war and bore a part in many of the principal battles which were fought. At the close of the war he held the commission of captain. Having always enjoyed a vigorous being possessed, to a remarkable extent, of his physical and mental faculties, he could not resist the impulse of his patriotic heart to be present at the celebration of the Bunker Hill Monument.

But immediately after the celebration, he was attacked by the prevailing epidemic, the Influenza and after a severe struggle, has fallen a victim to that disease. Bosl. Merc. Jour. Murder in Chenango Co.

For a week or more, says the Broome County Republican, reports have been current that a young man, named Mix or Meeks, employed by Titus of Homer, in teaming flour, was murdered in the town of German. It appears that he had been to West Green, with a load of flour, and received two or three hundred dollars. He left that place on Saturday, the 10th and the next morning his horses were found loose, near Liverrnore's tavern. Marks of blood were found in the wagon. A large number of inhabitants turned out to search for the body.

The last reports affirm that the body was found in a mill pond, with palpable evidence of violence upon it, and that two or three men had been arrested on suspicion of having perpetrated the horrible crime Buffalo Cour. of Sat. of Gen.

In an article suggested by the completion of our first volume, and published six months ago, we stated that we hoped soon to make such arrangements as would enable us to conduct our business as nearly as possible upon the Cash system and with that view we propose, on the first of July next, to commence a reform in the manner of serving The Eagle.

Thus far our terms have been Six dollars per annum, payable half yearly," or 12 1 2 cents per week but a large number of the half yearly payments, though doubtless on the way, have not yet made their appearance at head quarters. A large sum is due us on account of subscriptions, and we earnestly solicit those in arrears to be forthcoming with their amounts. In future, (commencing on the first of July) the terms of our sheet, will be NINE CENTS A WEEK, payable to the carriers. Those who wish to pay in advance, and thus avoid the trouble of weekly collections, can do so at the office. The papers will be sold to the carriers, and they alone are interested in and entitled to receive the weekly payments.
