There is a gentleman living in this city, who is in Albany every day in the week, and and at home every day but one. The other day, he met his brother, who lives in Philadelphia, 12 hours after the one leaving his house on the Delaware and the other leaving Albany. Ten or twelve years ago, this would have been considered a riddle, but now it is a simple fact that requires but little or no explanation [N. Y. paper. INDIAN MURDERS. A St. Louis paper of June 14, says, We are informed by a gentleman recently arrived from St. Peter's, of a most bloody affair that took place a few days before he left. A party of Chippewa Indians, with their families, had encamped under the walls of Fort Snelling, where they were approached in a treacherous manner, and fired on by a party of Sioux, by which *ight of the Chippewas were wounded-three mortally. A detachment was immediately ordered out from the fort by col. Suelling, which succeeded in bringing back a number of the Sioux as hostages, four of whom were delivered to the Chippewas, who, after shooting them, cut and mangled the bodies in the most brutal manner. bration also took place in Albany, which was characterized by the same orderly deportment that was observed in New York. SQUIRRELS. Every few years, some of the northern parts of New York are literally over-run with squirrels, as was the case at Potsdam, Ogdensburg, &c. about the 25th of last month. They appear to be almost in a state of starvation, and are very bold, or tame, entering houses for food. Many were killed by the boy's with sticks. GREAT EXCITEMENT. We understand, (says the Albany Argus), that a very great concourse of people, from various parts of the county of Genessee, assembled at Batavia, on the 25th ult. to take into consideration the question which has produced so much excitement in the western part of this state, the abduction of Morgan. About 3,000 persons, of all ages and sexes, gathered on this occasion. Resolutions were adopted, reprobating the transaction, and pledging the individuals present not to support any mason for any public office. On the same day, pursuant to notice previously given, a large number of masons assembled in the same village, for the purpose of celebrating the anniversary of St. John the Baptist. It is a fact, creditable to the character of our population, that notwithstanding the excited state of feeling on both sides, no outrago was committed, nor were the proceedQUALIFIED PRAISE.

"Philadelphia 1825-6,$91,700; Baltimore 1826, $18,000; New York $72,190; Boston $30,532. Admitting that the expenditure in Philadelphia, for the relief and support of the poor, should be no more in proportion to its population than other cities, then Philadelphia, compared with Boston, should have paid but $63,608 instead of $91,700. Philadelphia, compared with New York, should have paid but $51,565. Philadelphia, compared with Baltimore, should have paid but $32,143. It will be recollected that our poor expenses in 1825-6, were much less than in several years previous." - HUMAN LIFE. M. Dupin, (of Paris), in taking a census of the population of France since 1814, has found that, during these thirteen years, twelve million four hundred thousand French have been brought into existence, and that nine millions seven hundred thousand have died. The fourth part of the population which lived under the imperial government no longer exists. Twothirds of the present population were not born at the epoch of the opening of the states-general; finally, those men who were twenty years of age at the period of the death of Louis XV, compose no more than the forty-ninth part of the French of the present day.

The last moments of Jefferson and Adams-The following beautiful extract is taken from the first number of the American Quarterly Review, p. 74, and is from the pen of Mr. Edward Everett, a member of congress from Massachusetts: THE BANK OF THE U. S. has declared a dividend of three per cent. for the last six months. The price of the stock has run up to 123 or 124 dollars per share; and some new speculation is suggested. At that rate, the interest yielded to purchasers will be 4.80 per cent, MIGRATION from the British islands to the United States, is at present, unusually strong. We notice that on the 7th inst. there arrived at New York 243, and at Philadelphia, on the 8th, 287 passengers, chiefly from Ireland.

The returns from two or three places have not been officially ascertained, yet the statement is considered correct, and is as follows: Majority for col. White, White. Gadsden. From this statement, (says the East Florida Herald), it will be seen that our territory has made some advances since the election for the 19th congress. At that time 1,564 votes were taken, and at the late election 2,353, making an increase of 789; being equal to an increase of population of 4,000. NEW BRITISH MINISTRY. The last advices front England have announced the complete organization of the new ministry. It may perhaps be gratifying to those readers who take an interest in passing political events in Europe, to be furnished, for reference, with a full and correct list of them.

The exhibition of part of the trunk of a large black walnut tree, at present in Philadelphia, ealled the attention of the writer last week to the measurement of a beautiful healthy sycamore at the hospitable seat of the late William Rodman, esquire, on the Neshamong creek, Bucks county, (Penn.) said to have been planted by his father seventy years ago. Its trunk is nearly round, perfectly solid, and, about twelve or eighteen inches from the ground, measures twenty-eight feet six inches in girth; at the height of twelve feet it is divided into two equal branches, one of which measur ed seventeen feet nine inches in circumference. The writer remembers taking the dimensions of this tree upwards of twenty years ago, since which its trunk has expanded between three and four feet. Upwards of five hundred persons could be comfortably sheltered in the expansive shade of this magnificent and stately monarch of the sail. [Aurera. FOREIGN NEWS. From London and Liverpool papers to the 30th May. Great Britain and Ireland. The Bishop of London has stated in the house of lords, that the king entertained the same opinions as those held by his father in regard to the Catholic question. This announcement is supposed to put the subject at rest; and it is further said that it was perfectly understood between his majesty and the ministry, that no influence in favor of that measure is to be used by his servants in their official capacity. The administration becomes more popular daily, and in consequence the funds have considerably advanced. raise the duty on foreign wool, Mr. Huskisson stated that In the house of commons, in speaking on a petition to the French and the Netherlands were underselling them in woollens in Mexico, &c. and that new duties would increase the evil.

No orders had as yet been given for withdrawing the troops in Portugal, notwithstanding the call from the opposition.

Distracted and torn as Colombia at present is by intestine commotions, it may be necessary for Bolivar to remain at the head of the government for a short time, as he possesses the affections and confidence of the people; but we earnestly hope that he may be employed in ren dering them capable of taking care of themselves; and, though he may be sincere in his expressions of a desire to retire into private life, he is not ignorant that his first obligations are due to his country.

The deposed chiefs are fully of opinion, that it is the intention of the party now in power here to annex the whole southern department of Colombia to Peru. Such is not believed by others to be their present intention; but circumstances may induce [Aurora them to adopt such a measure.” By the last advices from Bogota it appears that part of the Colombian army in Peru, had again joined Bolivar's party. They have seized the authors of the rebellion and sent them prisoners to gen. Florez. According to letters from Laguira, England will agree to assist Colombia in her pecuniary embarrassment but only on condition that Bolivar will remain at the head of the government.

That the constitution of Colombia possesses some objectionable features, we do not doubt, but they can be adjusted by an appeal to the baltot-box, and if the Colombians are really worthy of the privileges for which they so long and ardently contended, they must know that the very principle of a free government is a bowing-down to the will of the majority when rightfully expressed. Without detracting from the honor which is due to Bolivar, we think, that in one respect, at least, he has tended to retard the march of those principles which impelled him to release his country from the grasp of despotism; in the early stage of the republic it was certainly necessary that an individual of his talents, patriotism and discernment, should take the helm of state, until the government was somewhat matured, but when this was accomplished and the people manifested a capacity for self-government, he should have retired from the presidential chair and stood by in the capacity of a counsellor and friend, to prove that the existence of their institutions did not dehead upon one man, but that they were implanted in TRADE BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND THE UNITED STATES.
